Spirit Plant Masters Sweep Across the Beast Taming Interstellar Space

Chapter 84 Has Ge Bai Become a Fat Sheep? [Two-in-One]

"Hello, is this Ms. Ge Bai?"

After purchasing the spiritual energy materials, Ge Bai put down his mobile device less than ten minutes later and received a call from the official Spirit Plant Research Institute.

"We are the resource repository of the Spirit Plant Research Institute. We just saw that you placed an order for a batch of wind-type spiritual energy resources."

"Just to confirm the delivery address, is it No. 16, Shanpan Garden, Jinggang City? Is delivery within half an hour possible?"

On the other end of the mobile terminal, the staff member spoke very politely.

"So fast? I saw online that it would be delivered tomorrow."

Gobai was surprised by their high efficiency.

"Yes, normally it is delivered the next day, but since your delivery address is Jinggang City, our Lingzhi Research Institute's Jinggang City warehouse can just gather all the resources you selected."

"Furthermore, the system shows that you enjoy the highest level of talent benefits at the Spirit Plant Research Institute, so we will prioritize handling your related needs."

No wonder.

"Okay, please send it over now."

Ge Bai readily accepted. The sooner they could get the resources, the sooner Da Liu could start adapting. It was a good thing.

Just then, the cleaning staff that Liu Hao had hired started finishing up, so nothing was delayed.

-

After half an hour.

Villa No. 12, Mountain Garden, Beijing-Hong Kong City.

Two brothers, one tall and one short, were wearing property management uniforms and cleaning the exterior walls.

At first glance, the two seemed quick and efficient, finishing their work very fast.

But if you look closely, you'll notice that these two people's eyes are darting around, and they start looking at their surroundings every now and then.

Just then.

A vehicle bearing the sign of the Lingzhi Research Institute drove into the Shanpan Garden residential area, passed Villa No. 12, and headed straight for Villa No. 16.

Suddenly, a pocket at the waist of the tall, thin man began to vibrate.

A moment later, a mouse's head popped out of the pocket.

"Squeak. Squeak."

Fortunately, Da Liu couldn't see this scene, otherwise he would have been so disgusted that he would have jumped up. It was a real rat.

No, its scientific name is Spirit-Eating Rat. It's not very strong in attack, but it loves to use rare and precious materials containing rich spiritual energy, and it also has a unique talent for treasure hunting.

Many bounty hunters, or mercenaries who frequently travel in the wild, like to contract one.

If the Soul-Eating Rat makes any noise, it means there's something good nearby.

"Big brother, what's the spirit rat saying? Why is it so excited?"

The short, stout man, seeing the Spirit-Eating Rat squeaking incessantly, leaned closer and asked in a low voice.

"They said they smelled the scent of wind-attribute spiritual energy."

The tall man's eyes gleamed. He had raised the Soul-Eating Rat for so long, and he had rarely seen her so eager, which meant there were quite a few good things in it.

"Really! Where is it?" The short, fat man grinned slyly.

The moment he said that, his older brother smacked him on the head. "Xiong Xia, are you blind? Wasn't that a vehicle from the Spirit Plant Research Institute just passing by?"

"My name is Xiong Xia, not Xiong Xia (Blind Bear)."

The short, stout man didn't dare to make a sound after being hit on the head; he could only mutter under his breath.

He had been bullied by his older brother Xiong Dong since he was a child, and he had gotten used to it over the years. After all, Xiong Dong was smarter than him.

Xiong Xia climbed the ladder and peered out from the outer wall of Villa No. 12, looking in the direction the truck had driven away.

"Brother, it seems to be parked outside Villa No. 16. We've been to that villa before, and there was no one there yesterday."

Xiong Xia is actually not blind; her eyesight is excellent.

"Let's go take a look."

Xiong Dong made a decisive decision and immediately began to tidy up the brushes, ladders and other tools piled up against the wall.

The two arrived at Villa No. 16, and knowing the way well, put down their tools and began to clean the exterior walls in a professional manner.

While scrolling through the app, I kept an eye on the shuttle bus parked at the entrance of Villa No. 16.

Three staff members wearing uniforms from the Spirit Plant Research Institute were carrying boxes of Wind Oath Stones into the villa.

Although the box was specially made, the spiritual power contained in such a large quantity of Wind Oath Stones could not be suppressed and surged outwards.

The wind-attribute spiritual energy surrounding Villa No. 16 has also increased significantly.

"Squeak!" The Soul-Eating Rat in Xiong Dong's pocket could hardly contain its impulse.

Xiong Dong had to free one hand and press down hard on the head of the Soul-Eating Rat through the pocket.

"Big Brother!" Xiong Xia's eyes were also glued to the moving car. From his position, he could see right into the carriage.

At the very back of the carriage was a large box. Even without seeing its contents, Xiong Xia could tell from the quality of the box that it must contain something valuable.

"Control yourself!" Xiong Dong said calmly to his younger brother, while his hands moved slowly and meticulously as he washed the dishes.

These two brothers are officially registered members of the Mercenary Association, and they usually travel in the wild, making a living by completing the association's missions.

In fact, these two also made a living as notorious thieves. When there were no suitable jobs, they would stay in a city, do odd jobs, and look for opportunities to make a quick buck.

After you've finished looting, immediately take on a mission further away, hide in the wilderness, and once things have calmed down, turn in the mission in another location and sell the stolen goods.

They're really good at this.

Throughout the year, it's hard to say whether one spends more time working as a mercenary or lurking as a thief.

But one thing is certain: the latter earns far more than the former.

The two had only been in Beijing for a month when they set their sights on the Mountainside Garden residential complex.

To be fair, they were both quite dedicated, truly standing out from the crowd when the property management company of Shanpan Garden was recruiting temporary exterior wall cleaners.

It must be said that the exterior walls were painted quickly and well.

Using their temporary worker status, the two of them have almost gotten to know most of the villas in the mountainside garden.

The people who live here are all wealthy and powerful, but they don't have many nice things in their homes.

The Spirit-Eating Rat did smell a strong scent of fire-attribute spiritual energy at Villa No. 3, but the two of them also detected the spiritual energy fluctuations of a Overlord Realm pet beast at Villa No. 3 using their portable spiritual energy fluctuation detection devices.

They're definitely not someone you can afford to mess with.

These two brothers are only at the level 6 or 7 of the Transcendent Realm, and their pets' attack power is not strong either. They can't afford to mess with a powerful overlord.

Today, the two of them finally caught another big fish.

This time, the Soul-Eating Rat's reaction was no less intense than its reaction outside Villa No. 3.

"Big brother! I checked, it's only the fluctuations of a mortal spirit realm pet."

Xiong Xia couldn't resist and secretly turned on the spiritual energy fluctuation detection device. After seeing the test results, he felt that he had succeeded and excitedly shared it with his older brother.

Mortal Realm?

Hearing Xiong Xia say this, Xiong Dong narrowed his eyes.

Which rich kid moved out on their own? A total easy target!

They love hiring rich but incompetent second-generation rich kids, and they're not afraid of retaliation from their families at all.

By the time their family realizes what's happening, the two of them are already having a barbecue in the wild.

"Let's see. I'll try to go in and find out what's going on."

Although Xiong Dong had already decided to make his move, he wanted to be on the safe side and make sure there was no one in the villa they couldn't afford to offend.

-

At this moment, Ge Bai was in the spirit energy room, seriously discussing with the staff of the Spirit Plant Research Institute how to best arrange the spirit energy resources.

She never expected that she would be targeted as a fat sheep.

The two brothers outside the door already considered the resources she had gritted her teeth to buy for Da Liu as their own.

"Ms. Ge Bai, there are property management staff knocking on the door to ask if the homeowner is home."

A staff member who had just come downstairs put down the box he was carrying and relayed a message to Xiong Dong, who was standing at the door.

Ge Bai didn't think much of it and returned to the entrance on the first floor.

"Hello, we are the property management's exterior cleaning staff. We provide free cleaning services for the exterior walls, windows, and interior walls of villas. If needed, we can also help you level the lawn and trim the shrubs in your yard."

Xiong Dong stood in front of Ge Bai, head slightly bowed, with a smile on his face, speaking clearly and logically.

"I noticed that no one was home before, so I came to inquire today."

Ge Bai glanced at it and saw that Xiong Dong's uniform was indeed similar to the staff member he had just seen at the entrance of the community. There was also a Xiong Xia cleaning the exterior wall outside the gate.

The tools and posture of the two men seemed to be of good quality.

"Please wait a moment."

Ge Bai gave Xiong Dong a polite yet distant smile, closed the door, took two steps into the house, and called the property management.

Xiong Dong stood calmly at the door, his smile unchanged.

He didn't lie at all; this was indeed one of the tasks he and his brother were doing as temporary exterior wall cleaners.

"Okay, thank you for your help. You can skip leveling the lawn and trimming the shrubs, but please take care of the exterior walls and windows."

The property management clearly informed Ge Bai that this service was now available, which put her mind at ease.

Upon receiving Ge Bai's affirmative reply, Xiong Dong's smile deepened.

"Okay, please don't worry."

Everything went according to his plan.

As Ge Bai turned to go inside, he thought for a moment, then glanced back at Xiong Dong through the spiritual communication system.

I didn't expect to see anything special; it was just a fleeting thought.

Who would have thought that this look would reveal something?

【Species: Spirit-Eating Rat (Extraordinary Race)】

[Spiritual Power: Transcendent Realm Level 8 (778.31/800)]

[Attribute: Metal]

[Skill: Spiritual Scent Technique - Ultimate. Skill Description: Detects spiritual energy resources within a certain radius.]

[Skill: Spirit Devouring - Beginner. Skill Description: Quickly absorbs spiritual energy resources.]

This person is a Transcendent Realm Beast Tamer, and he is carrying a Transcendent Realm Level 8 Spirit-Eating Rat!

Ge Bai subconsciously stopped in his tracks, but quickly realized what was happening and forced himself not to look at Xiong Dong. He then slowly walked towards the rooftop terrace.

It's poisonous, isn't it?

Ge Bai is young, but that doesn't mean she's stupid.

No matter how busy things get in Jinggang City, it's not like a level 8 Transcendent Beastmaster would have to work as an exterior wall cleaner.

Moreover, what the hell is that Soul-Eating Rat of his!

A mastery level of the Spirit Smell Technique that reaches the ultimate level? That's ridiculous.

Nobody would believe him if he said he didn't have ulterior motives.

Did they come here because they smelled the wind-type spiritual energy resources?

With more information, the whole story becomes easier to guess.

Actually, it's not really Xiong Dong and Xiong Xia's fault for being careless.

Originally, the ability to scan and determine the attributes of another person's pet was a technology that the Spirit Plant Research Institute and the Spirit Beast Research Institute had only recently mastered.

Because Ge Bai is a special talent of the Lingzhi Research Institute, she was provided with a mobile terminal with such functions.

The portable spiritual energy detection device that Xiong Xia carries is already quite intelligent; it will alert you if it detects a scanning device.

Xiong Xia had clearly activated the spiritual energy detection device, but received no notification.

Xiong Dong was naturally confident that the other party did not have a special spiritual energy scanning device, otherwise he would not have swaggered up to Ge Bai with the Spirit-Eating Rat in his pocket.

The two brothers tried hard to conceal their true intentions, and they managed to fool the spiritual energy detection point at the entrance of the residential area.

Who would have thought that Ge Bai had a cheat code called the system, which allowed him to see the information about the Soul-Eating Rats with just a glance?

Even skill proficiency cannot be hidden.

In this round, the Shennong 2.7 system deserves the most credit!

Ge Bai stood on the rooftop terrace, leaning against the railing, looking down at the entire courtyard.

The staff of the Spirit Plant Research Institute were still diligently moving wind-related resources into the basement.

Every move of the Xiong brothers, Dong and Xia, was under her watchful eye.

The two of them did look like they were really doing cleaning work. If they hadn't lingered so long while wiping the exterior windows, it would have looked even more real.

By examining the process with the outcome in mind, Ge Bai quickly noticed something amiss.

What to do? It's not the thief you should be afraid of, but the thief who has his eye on you.

Call the police now? What are you going to say?

Is the exterior wall cleaner a level 8 Transcendent Realm expert? Or is the exterior wall cleaner working with a Spirit-Eating Rat that possesses an ultimate skill?

None of this is illegal.

Ge Bai stared intently at the two brothers. They definitely had more than one Spirit-Eating Rat under contract, but they didn't have any other pets with them at the moment.

Thinking it over, Ge Bai called over Da Liu, Chiyo, and Xiao Momo.

"We've got a job coming up; they've got their eyes on our house."

Looking at the three little ones, Ge Bai relaxed a bit and was in the mood to crack a joke.

"Liu Gu?"

"Huh?"

"Peach?"

The three little ones were completely confused.

Ge Bai briefly explained the current situation to them.

Upon hearing this, these people immediately became alert.

"Bye-bye! Beat them up! How dare they covet my wind-elemental resources!"

The willow branches of the large willow tree were all tangled together, and spiritual energy surged around its body.

God knows how excited Da Liu was when the transport vehicle from the Spirit Plant Research Institute arrived.

Watching boxes of wind-elemental resources slowly fill a spirit energy room, feeling the wind-elemental spiritual energy filling the room.

Da Liu was so happy she was practically floating on air.

He hasn't even enjoyed it for long, and now he's being told that someone is eyeing his resources? That means they have an irreconcilable feud with him.

"Beat them to a pulp!"

Although Chiyo usually likes to argue with Oyagi, she is still very clear-headed when it comes to matters of principle and external enemies.

If a petty thief dares to covet Da Liu's wind-elemental resources today, and her space-elemental resources arrive tomorrow, it will also be dangerous. We must nip this danger in the bud now.

"Peach!"

It was rare for Xiao Tao to perk up. Although she didn't quite understand, she knew that Da Liu's things couldn't be given to others. If someone coveted them, they were a bad person, and bad people had to be defeated.

Xiao Tao can still grasp this logic.

Excellent, pre-battle mobilization is unnecessary.
