If everyone becomes an adventurer, who will put in the effort themselves?

Chapter 28 What are you laughing at? I've got you here!

"Experimental subject...97?"

Lynn repeated the words spoken by the delicate little girl in front of him, his eyes gradually narrowing:

"How come I don't remember having such a 'name'?"

At this moment, the short, black-haired girl in front of him merely snorted and glanced at Tan Ning, who was already dead on the ground:

"You ruined the experimental materials I had planned. In that case, I'll give you the name that was originally set."

"Seriously, don't you know how valuable a test subject with red dragon bloodline who can be legally researched is?"

Lina grumbled, then turned her head and glanced at the stunned snow sprite beside her:

"Rami, why didn't you stop this idiot?"

"How could you, an appraiser, forget about the price differences?"

"I'm sorry, Lady Lina."

Ramie quickly bowed and apologized, saying tremblingly:

“I just…”

Ramie glanced at Lynn, then said with a wronged expression:

"I just spaced out."

Who could have imagined that Lynn would act so quickly and ruthlessly, giving no one a chance to react!

Seeing that Ramie claimed to be daydreaming, Lina rolled her eyes and then turned to look at Sia, who was leaning against the door frame.

Seeing that Sia was still smiling and waving at her, Lina snorted, too lazy to pay her any attention, and turned to Lynn, saying:

"Since the person is already dead, the price must be lowered."

“I’m taking the body with me. The original compensation was two million yuan, but I’m only offering one-tenth of that.”

"An offer?" Lynn asked in surprise. "What do you mean? Who did you offer a price to?"

At this moment, Leo, the military policeman standing nearby, gave Lynn a strange look, and then explained:

"This is Her Excellency Lina Minerva, who is also the apothecary advisor to the City Lord's Mansion and the Red Dragon Merchant Guild, and the alchemy professor at the monastery."

"Under normal circumstances, one of the most severe punishments that the City Lord's Mansion and the Red Dragon Merchant Guild impose on some serious criminals is to hand them over to Professor Lina to serve as test subjects."

After explaining all this, Leo reminded him:

"If Tan Ning were to use the Bloodline Technique to attack the enemy, she would end up in the hands of Lady Lina."

"As for the compensation, it is actually the compensation that Professor Lina will pay after she takes away the 'experimental materials'."

Using criminals who have committed serious crimes as experimental subjects and then paying them?

Is it that wild?

Lynn paused, then looked down at Lina with a hesitant expression.

"Because I killed the test subject you were about to obtain, you plan to use me as a test subject?"

At this moment, Ruth, who had been lying limp on the ground, seemed to suddenly regain her strength and cried out and laughed:

"Yes, use him as an experiment. There must be something wrong with this mud seed!"

"What are you laughing at?"

Lina turned her head, her delicate face filled with the disdain of someone looking at trash.

"I just put this name on him because he killed my subject number 97."

"I'm not going to use him as an experiment."

"But you are, Experiment No. 98."

Lina looked at Ruth with a strange expression:

"You don't actually think you're safe, do you?"

Rose, who had been laughing maniacally, suddenly stopped laughing.

What do you mean Lynn was just given the name "Experiment No. 97"? And I'm really supposed to participate in the experiment?

Before Ruth could react, Lina suddenly pulled a test tube from her pocket, unscrewed the stopper, and placed it under Ruth's nose.

Ruth's eyes cleared instantly, and she stared blankly at Lina as she squatted on the ground:

"you...."

"It's okay, dizziness is normal, it will be fine soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ruth turned and fell to the ground with a thud.

Lina deftly put the test tube back in, then turned to Ramie and Leo and said:

"You two take these two test subjects to 66 Monastery Road, my research institute."

Leo felt a little embarrassed upon hearing Lina's instructions, but he didn't dare to object and could only obey. Ramy, on the other hand, didn't care and simply followed the orders, starting to assign tasks to people.

After giving the instructions to the two, Lina turned to look at Lynn:

"As for you, number 97, come with me now."

Lina walked towards the house on her own, letting out a soft hum as she passed Sia:

"Come in here too! Are you watching a show?"

"Isn't this interesting?"

Sia chuckled, then turned halfway around and waved to Lynn, signaling him to come over quickly.

Seeing this, Lynn pondered for a moment, instructed the other workers to resell the furniture near the entrance first, and then went into the room.

Soon, Lynn saw Lina standing in front of the tea table in the living room, taking things out of a suitcase.

Just then, seeing Lynn enter, Lina picked up a thin needle and placed it on the table beside her:

"Use this needle to draw some blood; I need to examine it."

"Huh?" Lynn was taken aback, a little confused about what Lina meant.

At this moment, seeing Lynn so confused, Lina said speechlessly:

"Hey, you don't actually think there are absolutely no side effects from eating the Bloodline Fruit, do you?"

"Besides, you also suffered from the side effects of the Bloodline Technique before."

"With these two combined, in Mona City, no one but me can save your life."

"No matter which doctor you go to, you'll get the same answer."

"So, hurry up and get some blood for me to test."

Lynn paused for a moment, then gave Sia a strange look.

At this moment, Sia seemed quite pleased with herself, raising her chin:

"That's right, I've told Lina everything."

Lynn's lips twitched, and he said with a speechless expression:

"Didn't you say before that it wasn't convenient to go public with something like stealing someone's bloodline?"

"It can't be made public, but isn't this something we do in private?" Xia explained with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, Sia narrowed her pink, starry eyes and said in a playful tone:

"And aren't you surprised?"

"Why did Jaken develop that strange human face after using the bloodline technique, but you don't have it?"

"Why should I make you replace Lynn Knightworth and use the Bloodline Fruit?"

"As for the answer, I'll tell you everything after you've completed Lina's examination."

"Don't worry, it's just a routine check-up."

Lynn's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and her face immediately fell.

He glanced at Sia, then at Lina, who had prepared her tools and was waiting for his blood. After a few seconds of silence, he stepped forward, picked up the needle, and pricked his index finger. He then handed the blood-stained needle to Lina.

Just as Lynn was sucking on her injured index finger to stop the bleeding, Lina took out a mirror, placed the silver needle on it, and then pressed her hand against it.

After a few seconds, Lina lowered her eyes and said calmly:

"Just as I expected, my lifespan has been greatly shortened?"

Lynn's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and she couldn't help but ask:

"How many years of my life have I lost?"

“About…” Lina hesitated for a moment, then gave a rough estimate: “Around 120 years.”

120 years?!

Lynn's eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed:

"120 years? That's a lot?!"

"Wait, how many did you say?" Lynn suddenly realized and exclaimed in surprise, "120 years?!"

"That's right, it's about 120 or 123 years."

Lina picked up the silver needle and looked at the reddish blood on it:

"There's very little gold in its blood; the red dragon's bloodline has been severely damaged..."

"Judging from the current situation, you probably only have about 80 years left to live."

"Compared to the normal lifespan of 240 to 280 years for a member of the Knightworth family, you are now a premature death."

Lynn laughed when she heard this.

Dude, is it possible that I've always thought I wouldn't live past 100?

Chapter 29: Let more of the bad habits of the big family blow in!

"Are you still laughing?"

Lina gave Lynn a strange look, wondering how he could laugh like that.

"At this rate, you're probably aging more than twice as fast as a regular adventurer."

"In other words, in about 20 years, when you are around 40 years old, your physical condition will decline rapidly, and by the time you are 60, you will probably have to leave the ranks of combat."

"Compared to normal members of the Knightworth family who can maintain their peak condition for 120 years, you are already considered prematurely aged, do you know that?"

Hearing Lina's words, Lynn suppressed his smile and said somewhat awkwardly:

"Maybe it's because I always thought I wouldn't live to be 80."

Is retiring at 60 wrong?

Lina glanced at Lynn in surprise, then nodded:

"You do have some self-awareness."

"However, given your current bloodline condition, it's highly unlikely you'll survive past 40."

"?!!"

Lynn was stunned for a moment. 120 down to 80, then down to 40? Do you think this is Pinduoduo, offering such huge discounts?

"Didn't you say I could live to 120? How come I suddenly only have a third left?"

"I said you could live another 80 years, but that's for your body. As for your mind, that's another story."

Lina then took out seven hourglasses of different sizes from her medical kit, placed them on the table, and started the hourglasses to keep time.

Then, she took out bottles and jars, and a large beaker. After each hourglass had run out of sand, she poured a liquid into the beaker to allow the potion inside to fully react:
