Chapter 228: Miss Shu Nan

Lin Yun closed her eyes, randomly selected a perfume, and sprayed it on herself. However, she did not know which race the perfume belonged to, so she asked, "After using it, do you know which race it belongs to?"

[I do.]

"Which one is it?"

[All I can say is, wow! My dear host, you’re incredibly lucky!]

Lin Yun’s eyes lit up, and she was about to ask the system which race it was, but the next second...

[It just so happens to be the giant rat! Host, your luck is incredible!]

Lin Yun: "???"

Its tone had made her think this racial perfume was from the elves! And then it suddenly said the giant rat race? Was that right?

However, Lin Yun thought it over and decided that the giant rat race would work too. If the elves were going to cause trouble at the giant rats’ place tonight, she could also do something behind the scenes. Now she needed to go to the official housing office to buy a house seed.

Lin Yun emerged from the public restroom and strolled leisurely down the street. Earlier, while shopping with Miss Rabbit, she had not been able to find the location of the official housing office, so she had to find it herself now. Fortunately, the office was quite conspicuous, and she found it after wandering the street for a while.

Upon entering, she found an elf sitting and working inside.

"Just choose which house seeds you need, and let me know when you’ve chosen, and I’ll get them for you."

Aiyi looked up and saw that it was a giant rat. She pursed her lips and spoke in a stiff tone. She knew that even if she said this, these giant rats would still not listen and might even go so far as to take the house seeds themselves. But it was the procedure, and she had to say it.

Lin Yun sighed silently. Just how unpopular was the giant rat tribe?

The house seed she wanted this time did not need to be too good. She only wanted a place to hide from monsters at night. After looking for a while, she discovered that the house seeds at the official housing office in Monster City seemed to be of better quality than those in the Fairy Tale Forest. All of them cost 8 or more gold coins, and the models on display were all very attractive. But what she needed was one that was not particularly good-looking!

"Hello, do you have any lower-quality house seeds?" Lin Yun raised her voice and spoke toward Aiyi.

Aiyi looked up at her strangely, as if there were something wrong with this giant rat. Weren’t giant rats supposed to want the best of everything? Now this one was complaining that the house seeds here were too good and wanted inferior ones? And what about the incident a couple of days ago, when the giant rats had criticized the house seeds as subpar? Was this just bad luck?

"There are no ’inferior’ ones. There are only the ones you see. There are no others." With that, Aiyi lowered her head and fell silent.

Lin Yun: "..." Oh no.

"I’m buying it for my dog to live in, so it doesn’t need to be that nice."

Lin Yun thought back to the giant rats’ behavior when she had encountered them before, and emphasized the word "dog" as she spoke. She did not know whether the other party could understand her.

Aiyi understood. Why would this giant rat suddenly want to buy inferior house seeds? So it was just another way to torture people! She gritted her teeth, and her dislike for the giant rat tribe grew even stronger. But given the current tensions between the two groups, she did not know what to say. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Then wait a bit. There’s a batch that has been discontinued. I’ll go get them from the back."

She would soon tell Aino and the others that this person was buying house seeds because she wanted to relocate those humans and secretly torture them!

Aiyi retrieved a number of discontinued house seeds from the back room, placed them on a tray, and brought them out. There was also a small booklet with drawings of the house seed designs. She slammed the tray down on the table to express her displeasure. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. These giant rats were nothing but trash!

Lin Yun’s lips twitched. She wondered what this girl was thinking. If she had really been dealing with the giant rat tribe, they would have already made a scene. However, she showed nothing on her face and lowered her head to start flipping through the booklet.

After careful selection, Lin Yun chose a log house. It was made of genuine logs. It had only one floor and was not very big, with one bedroom and one bathroom, and that was all. It cost only two gold coins.

"This one."

Aiyi’s expression grew even stranger. "Are you sure, Miss Shu Nan?"

Miss Shu Nan? Lin Yun pondered the name. It sounded somewhat similar to the name she had heard in the restaurant not long ago. But she was not using her special skill right now. Could racial perfume actually reveal a random native identity?

[Because of your Random NPC skill, it works that way!]

"I’m sure. This is it."

She took out two gold coins and put them on the table.

Seeing this, Aiyi did not know what to say. After all, it was the other party’s own choice, and it was not her business if she regretted it later. This was an official sales point, not a recycling point. If she did not want it anymore, she could go to the recycling point herself. She would not give Miss Shu Nan a refund!

She quickly packed the house seed and handed it to Lin Yun. "Welcome to visit again next time!" Hurry up and go! She wanted to close up shop and go find Aino!

Lin Yun did not say anything more and left with the house seed.

It was not dark yet, so she needed to get to Aino’s place early to keep watch, lest Aino leave and she have no one to follow. As she walked, she realized that the person in front of her was the staff member from the official housing office. What was she doing here? Lin Yun still could not figure it out, but she concealed herself, afraid of being discovered. Her current identity did not seem to be considered anything good in the other party’s eyes.

"Miss Shu Nan, what are you doing here?"

A voice suddenly sounded behind her, startling Lin Yun again. She paused for a moment, then turned around and stared at him with displeasure.

"Who do you think you are, to tell me what to do?"

Those giant rat underlings all bowed and scraped to Shu Bei. Her current identity and name seemed to be somewhat related to Shu Bei, so it should not be a problem for her to be a little arrogant, right?

Crocodile Lan pursed his lips. "I was just passing by and was curious. After all, this is the elves’ territory. If you appear here, I’m worried that the elves will be hostile to you."

Good heavens, this was elf territory? Lin Yun had originally thought that only Aino lived here, but she had not expected there to be such a thing as a territory.

"It’s nothing. I was just passing by." She waved her hand and said it without hesitation.

Crocodile Lan was somewhat incredulous. He had just clearly seen Miss Shu Nan seemingly peeking at something... Could he have been mistaken?

"But..."

Lin Yun glared at him again.

Crocodile Lan: "..."

Miss Shu Nan was annoyed that he was meddling in her business. Crocodile Lan lowered his head in disappointment. It seemed that Miss Shu Nan had never liked him, no matter how hard he tried. How could he get Miss Shu Nan to notice him more?
