Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start

Chapter 267 The Hidden Tycoon

As the tide receded, the wet, exposed remains of buildings scattered throughout the streets were revealed.

The battle to protect the neighborhood triggered by the rising tide has come to a successful conclusion.

The drainage system of Donghai City is also incredibly powerful. Normally, it would take at least one or two days for a city like this, which has been flooded, to drain all the water. But as soon as the tide receded to the low dike, only shallow water could be seen in the damp Donghai City. It was as if it had just rained. It was not flooded to a depth of ten meters at all!

As the tide receded, the corpses of the sirens gradually surfaced on the streets and roads.

Because the mentors of the National Government Team had signed a purely subservient contract with the district chief of Donghai City, with the corpses belonging to the district chief and the team only receiving commissions, the National Government Team members didn't care much about how the siren's body was disposed of. They just wanted to return to their lodgings, take a hot shower, and then have a good night's sleep.

Of course, Lin Chen is an exception. He has six Digimon to raise, and he is quite dissatisfied with the system in Donghai City.

Although the Digimon didn't participate in the subsequent battles, the number of Sawtooth Green Monsters they killed at the beginning was already a huge fortune. Moreover, in the later battles, even though the Digimon didn't participate, Lin Chen himself personally joined the fight and killed quite a few Sea Monsters.

Therefore, Lin Chen could not simply let the district chief take advantage of him. As early as when the sea monsters began to retreat, Lin Chen left the National Government team alone and wandered around the various districts.

In such a massive battle, countless sea monsters died or were injured. Of course, Lin Chen wouldn't forcefully challenge the rules of East Sea City to collect the corpses of those sea monsters.

But Lin Chen had seen a ring with the characteristics of a Soul Reaper's Blood. He himself had become a necromancer with the help of the power of an ultimate magical beast. What he needed to do now was to collect the remnants of souls from the corpses of sea monsters. If he was lucky, it wouldn't be impossible for him to find a few essences.

When Lin Chen returned to the rented house, Nan Jue also received the commission transferred from the district head.

With Lin Chen's three Digimon of Commander-level strength supporting them, the National Team killed a considerable number of sea monsters and earned a decent commission. Even though Mu Ningxue did not receive the commissions from Jiang Shaoxu and Nan Rongni this time, she still earned 15 million.

Unfortunately, fifteen million was still not enough to make a significant difference for these guys who had reached the peak of intermediate-level mages and were aiming to become high-level mages.

The next day, before Lin Chen even got out of bed, there was a series of urgent knocks on the door.

Lin Chen put on his clothes, opened the door, and found Jiang Shaoxu standing in the doorway.

"Lin Chen, come shopping with me!" Jiang Shaoxu said.

"Going again? Aren't you supposed to be guarding the neighborhood today?" Lin Chen asked.

"There's a lull after each high tide. I just received a large amount of commission yesterday, so I'll go buy some more things," Jiang Shaoxu said.

"Why don't you keep that money to improve your own abilities?" Lin Chen asked.

"The National Government team provides resources, and even if they don't, my family will provide them. I use these commissions specifically for shopping!" Jiang Shaoxu replied confidently.

"It's so nice for you people with powerful connections; everything's provided for you, unlike someone like me who's struggling."

"I can only rely on my own hard work." Lin Chen sighed and continued, "I'll be done soon after I wash up."

Lin Chen washed up quickly and didn't keep Jiang Shaoxu waiting for long.

Jiang Shaoxu wanted to go out and have fun on her first day in Tokyo, but since everyone was focused on securing resources from the National Team, she had to give up on that idea for the time being.

This break was just the right time to make up for her wish from a few days ago. Jiang Shaoxu took Lin Chen to the most fun areas of Tokyo and they kept "eating and shopping".

After Jiang Shaoxu had finished having fun, Lin Chen got on with his own business and took Jiang Shaoxu to the Donghai City Auction House.

"These Japanese are really greedy. One Star River Vein costs 110 million, which is 10 million more than in China." Lin Chen asked about the price and then said.

"You want to buy it? Are you going to upgrade your second system to a high level?!" Jiang Shaoxu exclaimed in surprise.

"No. I was just asking." Lin Chen shook his head.

Jiang Shaoxu patted his chest, feigning shock: "You scared me to death! I thought you were going to break through to the advanced stage of the second element. I haven't even broken through to the advanced stage of the first element yet."

Lin Chen smiled slightly and didn't say anything. He couldn't possibly tell Jiang Shaoxu that he had already reached a high level in the Necromancer class.

You should know that, normally, one's necromancy has only been awakened for less than a year, so being able to cast basic spells is the norm. To break through to a higher level directly is simply a pipe dream.

The Zhao family truly lives up to its reputation as a world-class conglomerate. Lin Chen and Jiang Shaoxu hadn't even been browsing the Donghai City auction house for very long when...

Upon seeing the Zhao family's shop, Lin Chen led Jiang Shaoxu directly over.

As soon as Lin Chen entered the Zhao family's shop, he was about to find the person in charge when he discovered that Zhao Manyan was also inside. Zhao Manyan also saw Lin Chen and Jiang Shaoxu.

"Wow, Lin Chen, you're so lucky! You always have beautiful women accompanying you when you go out shopping!" Zhao Manyan said enviously.

"You're wrong. It's me accompanying the beautiful woman shopping, not the other way around," Lin Chen replied.

"It's all the same, all the same," Zhao Manyan said with a smile. "Lin Chen, what are you planning to buy this time?"

"I need some dark-elemental treasures, but before that, please take these things from me first." Lin Chen said, taking out a vengeful spirit vessel that he had prepared beforehand and handing it to Zhao Manyan.

"A Soul Vessel?!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed in surprise, quickly taking the Soul Vessel from Lin Chen's hand and probing it with his spiritual sense: "Holy crap, there are actually three War General-level essences inside!"

"Where did you get these spirit essences? Why are they all water-based?" Zhao Manyan asked, puzzled. Then, remembering something, she whispered in Lin Chen's ear, "You disappeared yesterday when the sea monsters retreated. Could you have gone to collect spirit essences?"

Lin Chen nodded.

"You're awesome!" Zhao Manyan gave Lin Chen a thumbs up.

"Help me calculate the price," Lin Chen said.

With Zhao Manyan's help, Lin Chen sold the remnants and essence of the Soul Reaper he carried for a total of 100 million. In addition, he earned 30 million in commission from the Tide battle and 300 million from the sale of the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast. A total of 480 million was exchanged for high-level dark-elemental treasures.

Seeing that Lin Chen spent 480 million in one go, Jiang Shaoxu and Zhao Manyan both showed shocked expressions.

It should be noted that after yesterday's battle at high tide, Zhao Manyan had just applied to his family for four Star River Veins, but one of them was rejected by the family. However, Lin Chen's spending this time is almost enough to buy five Star River Veins.

Of course, if they knew that Lin Chen hadn't taken out any more Commander-level essences and beast souls to exchange because he had temporarily bought up all the dark-type treasures at the Tokyo auction, they would probably be even more shocked.

They always thought they were rich because of their background, but compared to Lin Chen, they were far behind. Lin Chen was the real rich man, a hidden tycoon.
