My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Lin Shu said slowly, "When that extraordinary fruit first appeared, it caused a great deal of competition among various forces. Countless martial artists lost their lives because of it. In the end, the extraordinary fruit was divided between two major forces, each taking half."

"After these two forces obtained half of the extraordinary fruit, they each chose one of their most talented level 10 martial artists to consume it. Guess what the result was?"

Lin Mo and An Youyu exchanged a glance and asked in unison, "How is it?"

Lin Shu sighed, “One broke through to the half-step transcendent realm, while the other exploded and died!”

"Half-step into the extraordinary realm?"

Lin Mo's eyes flickered incessantly. "I've never heard Master mention the realm of half-step transcendence."

Lin Shu smiled with a hint of amusement, "Your master hasn't even reached this level yet, do you think he would have the nerve to tell you that?"

Lin Mo thought about it carefully.

Also!

Having been in contact with his cheap master, Duanya, for so long, he had learned a little about him.

Although Duanya appears to be a detached and aloof person on the surface, he is actually quite arrogant at heart.

Lin Mo had previously asked Duan Ya some questions about the top masters in the ancient martial arts world, but Duan Ya only replied with one sentence.

Everyone else is trash except me!

Lin Mo glanced at the screen and asked, "Mom, is this half-step extraordinary martial artist powerful?"

"That happened more than two hundred years ago. Not to mention me, even your maternal grandfather wasn't born yet."

"That's it, forget it."

Seeing his mother say this, Lin Mo gave up the idea of ​​asking questions.

The next second, Lin Shu changed the subject, "However, your grandfather once told me that the half-step extraordinary martial artist once defeated the combined forces of more than ten level ten martial artists by himself, and it was a crushing defeat."

Lin Mo felt a chill run down her spine, but couldn't help but twitch her lips. "Mom, could you please finish what you're saying next time?"

"Also, how did Grandpa know about such a secret matter?"

Lin Shu smiled mysteriously, "Because... that half-step extraordinary martial artist came from our Lin family. There are relevant records in the family. Isn't it normal for your maternal grandfather to know about it?"

"what?"

Lin Mo's eyes widened.

Lin Shu chuckled, "It's precisely because we possess a near-transcendent expert that our Lin family was able to become the third..."

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

Chapter 274 One Hundred Billion?!

"The third one what?"

"No, it's nothing."

Faced with his son's persistent questioning, Lin Shu realized he had said too much and quickly changed the subject, "More than two hundred years later, the extraordinary fruit has reappeared. We must do everything we can to get our hands on this thing!"

Lin Mo lowered his gaze.

After a long silence, his voice slowly rang out, "Mom, since the extraordinary fruit is so important, there will definitely be many people competing for it. Do we have enough money?"

"compete?"

Lin Shu gave an ambiguous answer, "Perhaps."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's mind raced, and he quickly came up with a possibility: "Is there an auction going on in the capital right now?"

Surprise instantly crossed Lin Shu's face. As if she had discovered a new continent, she kept looking at her eldest son beside her, "Your mind works pretty fast, not bad, not bad!"

Lin Mo didn't show any pride at his mother's praise. Instead, he continued to ask, "Mom, will there be any competition in Yancheng?"

"There are no secrets in the world. Since I know this news, it means that others may also know it. However, one thing is certain: there are very few competitors in Yancheng, at most two or three."

As she spoke, Lin Shu laughed from the bottom of her heart.

The person in front of her was still her eldest son, but after what had just happened, she, as his mother, suddenly realized that she could no longer see through him.

This strengthened Lin Shu's resolve to go home!

Her father had begged her to come home countless times, but without exception, she refused each time.

The main reason was his concern for his son. The infighting and backstabbing within the family far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. If an ordinary person got involved, they would die without even knowing how.

But her son's performance gave her confidence!

With such a mindset, coupled with his status as the eldest son of the Lin family and the protection of a top expert like Duan Ya, he would be more than capable even in the murky waters of the Lin family.

Lin Mo was unaware of his mother's thoughts. After a quick thought, he asked, "Mom, how much money do you have?"

Lin Shu held up one finger.

"One hundred million?"

"wrong."

"A billion?"

"wrong."

Lin Mo's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "If it's 10 billion, it wouldn't be difficult to bid for the extraordinary fruit."

Lin Shu laughed and waved her finger in front of her son's eyes, "You think you can compete for a supernatural fruit with 10 billion? You underestimate Qing Yaoxu too much. Qing Yaoxu went through all this trouble just to embezzle a supernatural fruit, and he made a lot of preparations beforehand."

"What preparation?"

"Money and people."

As he spoke, Lin Shu could no longer suppress his aura of authority. "Ordinary people don't have the financial resources to compete with Qing Yaoxu, even if Qing Yaoxu is restricted. Even if they did, they would have to be able to take away the extraordinary fruit."

"Without strength, even if you manage to acquire a transcendent fruit, you'll never be able to bring it out of Yancheng!"

She laughed, her laughter filled with confidence, "So I prepared 100 billion before coming to Yancheng."

Lin Mo nearly bit his tongue. "One hundred billion?!"

Not only him, but even An Youyu, who had been listening quietly, was astonished. Her eyes widened as she murmured, "My God! A hundred billion... if you piled it up, it would be a mountain... so much money..."

The girl's mutterings were very soft, but they still couldn't escape the ears of the mother and son.

The two exchanged a glance, instantly breaking the previously serious atmosphere.

Lin Mo couldn't help but chuckle, stroking the girl's hair with his large hand. "Your little money-grubber is online?"

"No, no."

Teased by Lin Mo like that, An Youyu blushed and protested by waving her fist: "I'm not a little money-grubber, I just... simply like money, yes, that's it!"

Lin Shu chuckled to herself, "Fish, Auntie just likes money, and we're the same in that respect."

Lin Mo secretly curled his lip.

Ah--

It's true that An Youyu likes money, but to say that her mother likes money?

That's complete nonsense!

Soon, an even bigger question arose in Lin Mo's mind: "Mom, where did you get so much money?"

One thing is for sure: it was definitely not earned through work!

An Youyu also quietly pricked up her ears, waiting for Lin Shu's answer.

Noticing the obvious curiosity on their faces, Lin Shu casually gave the answer, "The 50 billion was given by your maternal grandfather, and the other 50 billion was borrowed from me."

"Borrowed?"

Lin Mo's face was full of disbelief. "Mom, who could lend you so much money?"

"This is not important."

Lin Shu clearly did not want to discuss this issue.

Seeing this, Lin Mo didn't press the matter further. Recalling what his mother had just said, his tone was somewhat uncertain, "Mom, even if we successfully photograph the extraordinary fruit, will Qing Yaoxu let us leave?"

Lin Shu glanced at them and said, "With your master here, what are you afraid of?"

"Can……"

Lin Mo hesitated, "Master is indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, he is still just a person."

Lin Shu chuckled, "If your master heard this, he would definitely be unhappy."

"why?"

"Because...you underestimated him."

Meeting her son's astonished gaze, Lin Shu said to herself, "You have no idea how prestigious the Red List is. Anyone who can make it onto the Red List can no longer be considered a human being, let alone the number one on the Red List."

Hearing his mother's words, which sounded like an insult, Lin Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "No matter what, we still need to be careful."

"Don't worry, your mom never fights a battle she's not sure she can win!"

As Lin Shu said this, his eyes and brows radiated unparalleled confidence.

An Youyu was a little dizzy from listening, and her pretty face showed complete bewilderment.

Extraordinary fruits, a hundred billion, being number one on the red list, etc., were all beyond her comprehension...

Time passed by, and the auction gradually came to an end.

"Eighty-three million once!"

"Eighty-three million twice!"

"Eighty-three million three times!"

"make a deal!"

As the auctioneer's gavel fell, the item was officially sold.

This time, the auctioneer not only didn't delay at all, but actually gave the impression that he wanted to end the auction as soon as possible.

After the auction ended, the auctioneer's expression darkened for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure, a smile curving her alluring red lips, and her voice unconsciously rose considerably, "After nearly two hours of bidding, this auction has finally come to an end."

"Now, please welcome the final item of this auction to the stage!"
