With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Seeing that he had paid in full, the old lady didn't make it hard for them as she called someone to take them into a private room.

Once they were in the private room, they waited for the maid to leave and the door to close before saying anything.

The woman was the first to speak as she bowed her head to Lin Fan and said, "Young master, I'm sorry for the trouble that I've caused for you."

Lin Fan leaned forward to take her hands and help her up before saying, "It's fine. It was my own decision."

The woman quickly looked at Lin Fan and said, "Young master, you don't need to mind me. I will be alright."

As she said this though, there was a faint mist that appeared in her eyes.

It wasn't hard for Lin Fan to tell that she was only pretending to be strong. After all, he had seen how she acted just now.

It was clear that she didn't have enough money to make her debt payment and she didn't have a way to earn the money. That was, unless she sold her body…

Lin Fan's eyes couldn't help drifting to a certain part of her before quickly looking back up at her and saying, "This is my decision and I've already decided to make you mine."

The woman was stunned when she heard this.

She clearly never expected Lin Fan to be this determined about this, especially since they had just met not that long ago.

Lin Fan didn't bother with this topic any longer as he said, "Just wait, I'll bring the money to pay your debt in a week. I promise you."

Without waiting for her reaction, Lin Fan stood up and turned to leave, but as he was about to head out the door, he suddenly remembered something. Lin Fan turned around with an awkward smile and then asked, "Eh, this miss, I've forgotten to ask for your name."

The woman had a layer of mist in her eyes when she heard what Lin Fan had said, but hearing this, she revealed a bright smile and said, "Yue Lan." Then after a pause, she also asked, "I still don't know this young master's name either."

Lin Fan's smile became more natural as he said, "Lin Fan."

After he said this, he gave a nod to her before walking out of the room.

As she saw this, Yue Lan's heart couldn't help skipping a beat and she looked down as a blush appeared on her cheeks.

After all, he had paid for a room, but he was just leaving like this, so it was clear what he was thinking. And as this thought passed through her mind, she couldn't help feeling a bit of warmth in her heart.

It had been a long time since anyone had treated her like this…

When she looked up again, she saw that Lin Fan was already gone.

As she sat there in silence, she finally muttered to herself, "You have to do this. There's no other choice…"

…

[Yue Lan has been moved by your actions. Affection has increased by 20.]

Seeing this notification appear now, there were a few thoughts that passed through Lin Fan's mind. However, it didn't change the decision that he had already reached when it came to Yue Lan.

After all, this time, he wasn't thinking with his brain, but rather he was thinking with the thing down there.

As he remembered the bountiful plains of snow, his little friend down there couldn't help standing up a bit.

But he quickly remembered that he was in public and calmed himself down.

However, after he calmed down and started thinking with his brain again, he started thinking about another problem that he had to deal with.

It was actually a very simple problem, but he didn't have a way to solve it right now.

Money, it was a problem of money.

He didn't have enough money to pay off Yue Lan's debts.

Just paying for that room had taken a fifth of his wealth.

Just those few minutes in that room had already cost as much as his stay in the inn for the entire week.

He had to admit that this really was an industry that gouged their customers…

Still, there wasn't any time to dwell on that. Right now, the first thing he had to do was think of a way to earn five thousand gold coins by the end of the week to pay off Yue Lan's debt.

If he didn't have to do it by the end of the week, Lin Fan was confident that he would be able to earn that amount eventually, but it was the fact that he had to do it by the end of the week that caused trouble for him.

After these thoughts passed through his mind, Lin Fan took a deep breath and gave a sigh before heading off in the direction of the Mercenary Guild. If he wanted to earn money, there was no better way than to earn money as a mercenary.

Of course, this was his first time in this red light district, so he had to ask someone for directions to the Mercenary Guild.

When he arrived at the Mercenary Guild and he walked over to the counter, the person behind the counter was very surprised to see him.

Lala leaned forward to look at Lin Fan with a surprised look before asking, "Yi, why are you back so early? Didn't you have a quest to find the cause of the beast waves?"

Lin Fan didn't say anything in response to this, he just took out a small item that he placed on the table.

As soon as he took it out and it was placed on the table, everyone who had a bit of cultivation suddenly turned to look in that direction. The aura that came from the small rock that Lin Fan had placed on the table was something that no one here had ever felt before.

Even though it was a small rock, the aura that came from the rock placed a large amount of pressure on them.

This was a fragment of the altar that Lin Fan had chipped off when he had left the cave. After all, he figured that he would need something to prove the results of the investigation that he had done.

After letting them be surprised by this for a bit, Lin Fan said, "I found this in the forest in question. The aura that it was letting off was scaring the beasts out of the cave, which caused the beast wave."

Lala looked at the rock on the table for a bit before turning back to Lin Fan to say, "I need to go find the senior first and report this. Can you wait for a bit?"

Lin Fan just gave a nod and watched her go.

It didn't take Lala long to come back with Tian Tian.

The moment that Tian Tian came out of the door leading to the back, she immediately knitted her brows as she felt the aura of the rock coming from the table. She didn't waste any time moving up to the rock and started examining it from different angles.

After looking at it for a bit, she turned to Lin Fan and asked, "Did you only find this or did you find anything else?"

Lin Fan just calmly said, "There was a cave where I found this and it led further, but I didn't explore any deeper since it seemed dangerous."

Tian Tian looked into Lin Fan's eyes for a bit and after not being able to see any lies in them, she gave a nod and turned back to the rock on the table.

It wasn't that Lin Fan didn't lie, but rather he used a loophole.

It wasn't his choice to go into the cave, he had been forced to the altar by a trap.

After another while, Tian Tian turned to Lin Fan and asked, "Is it alright if we take this rock from you? We need to take this to analyze."

Lin Fan gave an inviting gesture and said, "You can take it. I brought it back to submit as proof of the mission, so that was what I intended to do within it in the first place."

Tian Tian gave a slight bow to Lin Fan and said, "Thank you, mister Lin. I'll make sure that you're compensated properly for this."

She immediately turned around and called for several staff members who came over with special equipment. They carefully put the small rock into this glass container before taking it into the back.

As for Tian Tian, she didn't go with them right away. Instead, she turned her attention back to Lin Fan as she said, "Mister Lin, you don't know what kind of contribution you have made to our Mercenary Guild. If there is any request that you have, please don't hesitate to tell me."

Lin Fan heard this and awkwardly scratched his head as he said, "Well, I'm actually in need of money, so I was hoping that I could take some higher ranked missions. I was wondering if there was any way to get an exception."

Tian Tian narrowed her eyes to look at Lin Fan before suddenly revealing a surprised look.

She reached her hand out and asked, "Mister Lin, if I may?"

Lin Fan was a bit confused at first, but then he reached his hand out so that she could take it.

When she took his hand, he had to admit that it felt quite nice…

Of course, he also figured out what she was doing when he felt the flow of spiritual energy coming from her hand.

After a moment of silence, Tian Tian suddenly revealed a surprised look as she muttered, "This…"
