Chapter 37: Hiring a Teacher
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Is this mission scenario the same as the real-life Blue Snow Planet?”
Lin Yun pondered in his mind as he walked into the city. He searched for a possible noticeboard at the city’s gate.
Since the background of the mission said “a small, unknown, remote town”, the Holy Maiden probably didn’t want others to know the secret of her baby girl. She would not hire a teacher on a grand scale but through some obscure means. Hence, the Holy Maiden was likely to release information on the noticeboard.
Lin Yun finally found a noticeboard in a remote corner in the enclosure of the city gate. This noticeboard was filled with all sorts of advertisements. However, Lin Yun didn’t recognize a single one of the Demon Race’s writings on it.
“Prompt: Automatic translation activated.”
After the electronic prompts, Lin Yun was already clear on the contents of the noticeboard.
“Hiring temporary workers. Required age 20-30 years old. Salary negotiable.”
Lin Yun shook his head. Since he was going to be a teacher, it was impossible for his age to be restricted.
“Hiring female service staff, able to adapt to a variety of jobs. Daily salary.”
Lin Yun was sweating profusely. This job didn’t seem like a good one.
“Hiring private teachers for children. Salary negotiable.”
Finally, Lin Yun placed his eyes on this brand-new advertisement. He secretly nodded and silently tore off this advertisement.
Based on the address in the advertisement, Lin Yun arrived at a compound outside the city. He went up to ring the doorbell and an old man walked out of the door. This old man was not tall and had a thin build. He had a deep scar from his left ear to his right eye, adding a hint of terror to his gloomy face.
“Who are you looking for?” The old man’s voice was very eerie.
Lin Yun shook the advertisement in his hand and said, “I’m here to apply for the teacher job.”
The old man’s face eased a bit and said softly, “Follow me.”
Lin Yun followed the old man towards the courtyard, and he noticed that the old man actually walked without a sound. Although Lin Yun could see the old man’s footsteps, he couldn’t hear any sound of his feet touching the ground.
This old man must be an expert!
Finally, Lin Yun was led by the old man to a hall, where a woman in black sat in front. With an exquisite figure and sexy red lips, it was actually that Holy Maiden in black.
“Young man, why are you wearing a silver mask?”
Seeing Lin Yun enter, the Holy Maiden asked softly. This voice was like a gentle young lady whispering in her lover’s ear, making people want to reveal all that they knew.
“You were hit with Spiritual Bewitchment. Digitization makes you immune to Bewitchments.”
Upon hearing this familiar prompt, Lin Yun understood that this hiring of a teacher really wasn’t that simple.
Fortunately, Lin Yun was wearing a mask that covered his face and any changes in his appearance couldn’t be seen. He replied in a calm voice, “Because I don’t want my identity to be discovered.”
“You were actually able to resist my Spiritual Bewitchment? Tell me, who are you!”
The Holy Maiden’s expression changed suddenly, and the aura on her body suddenly became violent and tremendous. Lin Yun even found it difficult to breathe under this tremendous pressure that was like a mountain or an ocean.
Lin Yun was shocked. How did this Holy Maiden know that he was not under Spiritual Bewitchment?
However, the Holy Maiden didn’t give Lin Yun time to think and pressed all her aura towards him. Lin Yun only felt his legs tremble as if he was going to be crushed to the ground by this violent aura.
“You have been subjected to a Spiritual Storm, Spiritual Strength -10,000. Your current Spiritual Strength is 0.”
Spirit Strength -10,000!
Hearing this prompt, Lin Yun was stunned.
What destructive power this was! Even if Lin Yun was an ordinary Spiritual Master, his Spirit was bound to die.
However, under digitization, a spiritual attack would at most cause Lin Yun’s spirit to become zero, but have no effect on his other status. Therefore, after the Holy Maiden’s Spiritual Storm, Lin Yun remained standing calmly.
“Who… Who exactly are you?”
With this loud shout, the Holy Maiden’s aura stagnated, and intense horror appeared in her eyes. This Spiritual Storm, which had only been unleashed by the godly weapon in her possession, could only be used once every month. Even an ordinary Planet Master Refiner would be seriously injured. She couldn’t believe what kind of strength it would take to be “unharmed” by such a Spiritual Storm.
Hearing the Holy Maiden’s shout, the old man took a step forward and instantly moved in front of Lin Yun. The old man’s right fist, which was wearing a shining green glove, smashed towards Lin Yun.
“Stop!”
The Holy Maiden shouted, and that old man’s punch stopped mid-air without moving anymore.
The Holy Maiden withdrew all her aura and slowly stood up from her seat. She had a look of joy on her face as if none of those conflicts had happened just now. She bowed to Lin Yun and said politely, “May I know why you are here?”
The old man still looked cautious and said in a deep voice, “Young lady, you should be careful. This person’s background is unknown, and he’s likely a spy sent by Du Si.”
“Shut up. How could such a powerful person be Du Si’s spy? Hurry and apologize to the Planet Raider.” The Holy Maiden coldly rebuked the old man, her face surging with killing intent.
Planet Raider?
This was the second time Lin Yun had heard of this term, but it was not a good opportunity to ask about it here.
Upon hearing the Holy Maiden’s words, the old man’s face instantly changed. Cold sweat actually appeared on his originally cold, gloomy face. He bowed deeply to Lin Yun and said loudly, “I’m sorry, Lord Planet Raider. Our young lady is being hunted down by her enemy, and I can’t help but be a little cautious in treating other people. I deeply apologize for the offense.”
After saying that, the old man punched his own chest. There was only a cracking sound of broken bones and a smear of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He bowed to Lin Yun once more, faced Lin Yun respectfully, and slowly retreated.
Throughout the entire time, the Holy Maiden’s face hadn’t changed at all as if everything was expected.
A Planet Raider actually had such an intimidating power!
An ambiguous smile could be seen on the Holy Maiden’s face as she asked softly, “May I ask what is the purpose of your visit to my humble home, Lord Planet Raider?”
Lin Yun replied without batting an eyelid, “To be hired as a private teacher.”
The Holy Maiden said in a flurry with a bitter smile, “Don’t make fun of me. Given your strength, if you need anything, feel free to ask me. I will do my best.”
“There is no need for that. I came here to be a teacher for your child.” Lin Yun’s undulated voice came out of the silver mask.
When Lin Yun casually said “your child”, the Holy Maiden was shocked. “How did he know that Xiao Leng is my illegitimate daughter? Why would he be a teacher for Xiao Leng, but keep his face covered so we don’t discover his identity?”
The Holy Maiden once again looked at the calm Lin Yun and came to a sudden realization. “So he knows Xiao Leng’s identity and came to invest in her. Although I’m at the losing end, it’s not like I don’t have a chance to turn the tables around given Xiao Leng’s identity. If Xiao Leng becomes the queen, he will have done meritorious service. By putting on a mask, he’s planning not to withdraw from this matter.”
The Holy Maiden let her mind run. “The addition of Lord Planet Raider is timely assistance. I must find a way to rope him in and bind him to my warship.”
Upon thinking of this, the Holy Maiden’s smile grew even brighter as she shouted, “Xiao Leng, come out!”
“What’s the matter?”
With a child’s clear voice, a cute little girl came out of the room. She had milky white skin and big ruby-like eyes, looking just like a beautiful doll. After thinking for a long time, Lin Yun could only find one word to describe her appearance—cute!
Xiao Leng was the baby girl he had protected in the prologue?
Xiao Leng entered the room and noticed Lin Yun, who was wearing a silver mask. She curiously asked, “Aunt, who is this person? Why is he wearing a silver mask?”
Suddenly, the red light in her eyes shone.
“Don’t be rude!” The Holy Maiden shouted loudly while looking anxiously at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun felt that there was a prying gaze that wanted to see his appearance through the silver mask. However, this gaze was blocked by the silver mask.
The red light in Xiao Leng’s eyes disappeared, and she looked at Lin Yun with a face full of adoration before saying loudly, “This uncle is so powerful! This is the first time I have failed in seeing through someone.”
The Holy Maiden did not bat an eyelid, but she gave an even higher evaluation for Lin Yun in her heart. She touched Xiao Leng’s head and said with a slight smile, “This is Lord Planet Raider. He’s a lot stronger than me. You always complained that I don’t have time for you, and your grandpa was too fierce playing with you. Now, this Lord Planet Raider is your teacher. You’re happy, right?”
A hint of excitement appeared on Xiao Leng’s face. Just then, Lin Yun heard a familiar female electronic voice.
“The Queen Raising System is officially open!”
