285 Polluter Token? (2)

Seeing that this boy did not know Hall Master Lin, the middle-aged uncle looked at him with disdain.

“Are you a resident here?”

“Dojo Master Lin doesn’t even know him!”

After being rebuked by this middle-aged uncle, the boy was a little aggrieved and puzzled.

“I… Of course I live here!”

“But who stipulated that we have to know this Hall Master Lin?”

“When did such a person appear in the old district?!”

Looking at the stubborn kid in front of him, Old Wang could not help but shake his head.

“You can’t be taught!”

“It’s your loss not to know a great benefactor like Hall Master Lin!”

“Don’t worry, that kid is fine. At most, he’ll be sent to the Public Security Department for a few days.”

“Ah?!”

Hearing this, the boy panicked.

The Public Security Bureau was not a good place.

It was not that he could not come out after entering, but the time he came out was based on the “filial piety” of the person who was locked up.

Without filial piety, not to mention letting him out on time, it was already benevolent if he did not double it.

If he was filial enough, he would just go through the motions.

However, it was obvious that as thieves who had just started their careers, they were destined to not have much savings.

“This… then… can I beg that Hall Master Lin to let him go?”

Looking at the anxious boy in front of him, Old Wang’s eyes darted around. He immediately knew why this kid was so concerned about that thief.

He had heard that a group of thieves had recently appeared in the old city.

The leader was a big child, but his methods were impressive and he had never failed. He even had a group of children as his lackeys.

Then it was probably this silly child in front of him.

If not for those skeletons and beasts from before, the biggest news in the old district would probably be about them.

However, he did not expose it and nodded with a smile.

“You can try.”

When the boy heard this, he gritted his teeth and looked at his lackeys who had been grabbed by the bearmen. He looked at Old Wang uncertainly and asked,

“Then, those things really don’t eat people?”

Old Wang shook his head.

“They eat meat, but I don’t eat humans.”

The boy chose to believe it for the time being and then ran towards the dojo.

He decided that even if he had to go bankrupt today, he would save his little brother.

Yes, it was a pity that he did not have any assets to dump.

At the same time, Lin Ye was counting his assets.

Although these residents drew low-quality beasts, there were too many of them.

In just an afternoon, Lin Ye had already subsidized nearly two million credits.

There were only more than a thousand people who came to collect their beasts.

If he distributed all the nearly 20,000 residents of the old district, it would cost at least 40 million credits.

This sum of money more or less made Lin Ye’s heart ache.

Fortunately, he had enough savings previously. Moreover, he could not go back on his word just because of money.

Therefore, although his heart ached, he still had to continue giving out beasts.

It could only be said that it was fortunate that they had drawn low-level beasts.

If he had been rash and did not limit the quality of his beasts, Lin Ye felt that he could have gone bankrupt in advance.

As long as someone drew one or two golden beasts, Lin Ye could spend this amount.

“Dojo Master Lin, someone’s looking for you!”

Just as Lin Ye was rejoicing, a resident brought in a big boy who was more than 1.7 meters tall.

“Looking for me?”

“Yes, Old Wang sent it over. He said that this kid has something to tell you.”

Lin Ye knew Old Wang.

It was the middle-aged man who had made him sigh with emotion.

He looked at the cautious boy in front of him and waved at him.

“Follow me ~”

The boy watched as these people came in and took an animal from a machine.

There were monkeys, pigs, dogs, birds, even snakes, and people who looked like cows. The fear in their hearts lessened a lot. Instead, they looked at the machine seriously.

“What… what’s that?”

“That’s a Beast Taming Machine that can draw beasts.”

“If you want it, you can try drawing it later.”

Lin Ye now discovered that his patience with these people in the old district was much better than before.

Perhaps because he still owed them, his face was “amiable” when he spoke.

Hearing Lin Ye’s words, the boy swallowed and looked at Lin Ye warily.

“Do… do you have any ulterior motives?”

“Otherwise, why would you do such a thing? To give it to everyone for free?”

Lin Ye smiled and did not explain.

“Just take it that I’m stupid.”

“Tell me, why are you looking for me?”

Hearing this, the boy opened his mouth and took the bag behind him. Then, he poured out the things inside.

“I… this is all I have.”

“Can you let go of Mouse?!”

Looking at the big boy’s actions in front of him, Lin Ye was also stunned.

“W-What mouse? What are you talking about?”

Seeing Lin Ye like this, Big Boy gritted his teeth and said fiercely,

“It’s a thief caught by your bears!”

“I, I want to redeem him!”

This time, Lin Ye understood a little.

It was likely that a thief had been captured by the patrolling bearmen and his companions had come here to plead for mercy.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye could not help but smile and shake his head.

“Since you stole something, you should be punished.”

“Even if you give me money. I can’t let him be redeemed. Otherwise, it won’t be fair to the person who was stolen from.”

Hearing Lin Ye’s logic, this big boy curled his lips in disdain.

“You make it sound so nice. If I don’t steal it, where can I get food?”

“Can’t work?”

“No one wants us!”

Lin Ye frowned.

He seemed to be a little greedy.

After all, the background of the world was different and could not be generalized.

“Ahem ~”

“No matter what, stealing is still wrong.”

“If you don’t have a job, you can come to my place. As you can see, my business is very good, but I’m very short of people.”

Lin Ye pointed at Qin Zhilan, who was busy alone, and issued a job invitation to this big boy.

Unexpectedly, this big boy did not appreciate it.

“Tsk!”

“Don’t lie to me. How can there be a business that doesn’t accept money?”

“I just don’t collect money in the old city. I still have to collect money elsewhere. How about it? Think about it?”

Big Boy gritted his teeth and finally shook his head.

“Can I use your job to offset Mouse?”

Hearing this, Lin Ye was so speechless that he laughed.

“Kid, you really know how to gain something without risking anything of one’s own!”

Just as Lin Ye was about to go out and get the bearman to release him, Yang Wei suddenly rushed in at lightning speed.

Looking at the pile of miscellaneous things in front of Lin Ye and then at the big boy, he asked curiously,

“What’s going on?”

“Hehe, we caught a thief while the bearman was patrolling just now. This kid is here to redeem someone.”

“Haha.” Yang Wei glanced at this big boy and was about to tease him when he suddenly exclaimed softly.

Then, he looked at the big boy beside him suspiciously and said,

“Kid, are you a mutant?”

The big boy looked at Yang Wei warily and immediately shook his head.

Before his mother passed away, she had told him not to casually expose his ability.

However, mutants could not hide just because they wanted to.

It could still be hidden from ordinary people, but in front of mutants, that aura could not be hidden.

“Still quibbling ~”

“I’m the vice president of the Mutant Association. Do you think I can’t tell?”

The boy immediately stopped talking.

Yang Wei was about to ask something else when he suddenly glanced at the pile of miscellaneous things on the ground. There was a wisp of bright red existence. He immediately bent down and held that thing in his hand.

Lin Ye looked at the thing in Yang Wei’s hand and asked curiously,

“What’s that?”

“The polluter’s token.” Yang Wei pointed the strange red metal token in his hand at Lin Ye and continued, “There’s also this guy in the city hall. He said that he was commanded by the owner of the token, so he’s never seen it.”

With that said, Yang Wei looked at the boy beside him and said with a serious expression,

“Tell me, where did this come from?”
