Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start

Chapter 268 Mo Fan, Heavily Indebted

After finishing their shopping, Lin Chen led Jiang Shaoxu out of the Zhao family's shop and strolled around the auction hall again, only this time with a third wheel behind them—Zhao Manyan.

Having just experienced a high tide battle, the Donghai City market is particularly lively now, with many items that haven't been properly appraised or examined being thrown here and sold at street stall prices.

If someone is destined to snatch it up, they can have it appraised at an auction and, wow, discover it has unusual scales or bones—they'll become rich instantly!

Lin Chen was the one destined to receive this gift. Under the guidance of the system, Lin Chen bought several treasures at a low price from a street stall that could summon or strengthen Water-type Digimon. Unfortunately, Lin Chen did not have any Water-type Digimon or extra summoning slots at the moment, so he could only wait until later to use them.

After strolling around the East China Sea auction venue for a while, Lin Chen and Jiang Shaoxu got hungry again, so the three of them decided to go to the seafood market for a big meal.

They had just found a restaurant when they spotted Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue sitting inside waiting for their food. Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue also noticed them.

"Lin Chen, Zhao Manyan, Jiang Shaoxu, you three are here too. Come over and sit down to eat with us."

"We just ordered, can we have a few more dishes if it's not enough?" Mo Fan said enthusiastically.

Mu Ningxue nodded as well. Because of Mo Fan and Lin Chen's relationship, Jiang Shaoxu and Mu Ningxue's relationship in the team was gradually warming up. Although they couldn't be considered best friends yet, they were already good friends.

Moreover, with Lin Chen and the other two around, Mo Fan's underhanded tactics should decrease considerably. He won't shamelessly say or do things that are unacceptable or intolerable.

Soon, the dishes were served, and Lin Chen and his group of five began a seafood feast.

The siren meat was delicious, the sashimi was tender, and the chilled sake was also very good. Everything about this seafood feast was excellent, but the only drawback was that Mu Ningxue underestimated Mo Fan's shamelessness.

Even with Lin Chen, Zhao Manyan, and Jiang Shaoxu sitting next to her, Mo Fan still started his little antics, saying some shameless things. Mu Ningxue had no choice but to pretend she didn't know him, which made the three of them sitting next to her laugh.

After eating and drinking their fill, Jiang Shaoxu and Mu Ningxue were both a little drunk. When they returned to their place, Mo Fan took advantage of Mu Ningxue's lingering drunkenness and secretly led her to his room.

Jiang Shaoxu happened to see this scene. Jiang Shaoxu's alcohol tolerance was much better than Mu Ningxue's. She was only slightly drunk and her mind was still clear. She immediately reminded her, "Mu Ningxue, why are you going to Mo Fan's room?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ningxue's mind cleared up instantly. She glared at Mo Fan, pushed him away, and then turned to walk towards her room, quickly opening and closing the door in one smooth motion.

After seeing Mu Ningxue return to her room, Jiang Shaoxu also went to her own room, leaving Mo Fan alone, bewildered in the wind.

"Lin Chen, can you control your girl? I was almost there." Mo Fan walked up to Lin Chen and couldn't help but complain.

"Stop, we're both innocent," Lin Chen said.

"Don't even mention me, Zhao Manyan doesn't believe it either," Mo Fan said.

"You two, don't drag me into this. I'm just a giant third wheel today. I'm going back to sleep now," Zhao Manyan said angrily, turning around and heading back to his room.

"I'm going back to sleep too. I've been out shopping with Jiang Shaoxu all day, I'm exhausted." Lin Chen said, and walked towards his room.

"You two still say you're innocent? Innocent? You could shop all day long." Mo Fan smirked. From the next day onwards, the members of the National Team became busy; they were nowhere to be seen all day.

This inexplicably made Mo Fan feel a sense of crisis for Mu Ningxue.

"Lin Chen, I want to discuss something with you." That night, Mo Fan invited Lin Chen to the small shop from the previous day and began to speak.

"What's up? You're not asking me to lend you money to buy Mu Ningxue a Star River Vein, are you?" Lin Chen asked.

"Since you've already guessed it, I won't hide it anymore. It's about this matter," Mo Fan said with a grin.

"Given Mu Ningxue's personality, even if you lent it to her, I don't think she would accept it."

Lin Chen shrugged and said.

"It's better to give help in times of need than to add flowers to brocade. When Xuexue is in dire need of resources, I'll just give her a Star River Vein worth 110 million. Wouldn't that break Xuexue's heart?" Before Lin Chen even agreed to lend him the money, Mo Fan couldn't help but start daydreaming.

"I can lend you money, but I just spent 480 million yesterday, so I don't have much money left. You'll have to contribute some yourself, and don't forget you still owe me almost 100 million," Lin Chen reminded him.

"Four hundred and eighty million? We're both from Bo City, how come you're so rich? That's enough to buy five Star River Veins! What a waste!" Mo Fan complained.

"What do you mean? It's a waste for me to spend my own money, but it's not when I lend you money to buy the Star River Vein for Mu Ningxue?" Lin Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes at Mo Fan.

"No, no," Mo Fan said with a grin, "I still have tens of millions in savings. You can lend me fifty million. Anyway, it's never a bad thing to have more debt. I'll pay you back when I make money in the future."

"Okay, fifty million it is. Adding the previous amount, you owe me one hundred and fifty million." Lin Chen said, taking out his phone and transferring the money to Mo Fan from his account.

"Good brother, once I win the heart of my beauty, I'll definitely do my best to bring you and Jiang Shaoxu together." Mo Fan said, raising his hand and shouting, "Boss, bring me all of your signature dishes!"

"This meal is on me, let's drink to our hearts' content today!" Mo Fan felt exceptionally happy to have money.

Having secured financial support from Lin Chen, Mo Fan acted swiftly. The next day, he went to the Donghai City auction house and bought the Star River Vein that Mu Ningxue had previously set her sights on. That same evening, he arranged to meet Mu Ningxue.

Unfortunately, just as Lin Chen had guessed, Mu Ningxue did not accept the Star River Vein just because Mo Fan had lent it to her, which left Mo Fan somewhat frustrated.

However, what made Mo Fan somewhat happy was that one of the reasons Mu Ningxue didn't accept it was that she was worried that Mo Fan, who was born with two elements, might not have enough resources.

At the same time, Mo Fan also learned from Mu Ningxue that the competition in the National Team was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. It wasn't just a dozen or so players competing here; many more players were also fighting over their backgrounds.
