Looking at the panel, Lin Jing smiled with satisfaction.

“The success rate of alchemy has increased again.”

By the time he came out of the System Space, it was already dawn of the next day.

After a busy day, he didn’t care about anything else and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

“Thump thump thump”

An urgent knocking sound came from the door outside.

Lin Jing, who was sound asleep, was awoken by this sudden knocking.

Lin Jing got up and walked out of the house.

“Who could it be at this time?”

“The sound doesn’t seem like Ning Yue. Her knocks are always very light, but this knocking is urgent.”

Lin Jing pondered and then opened the door, when a familiar face came into view.

It was the manager who had shown Lin Jing to this place when he rented the room.

“Manager Jiang.”

Lin Jing had learned from Zhang Sen that this man’s surname was Jiang.

“Lin Daoyou.”

Manager Jiang’s eyes lit up when he saw Lin Jing.

“I’ve been knocking for a long time just now, I thought you weren’t home,

Daoyou.”

“I was a bit exhausted from affairs yesterday, so I slept more deeply.”

“My apologies.”

“It’s no trouble,” said Manager Jiang with a wave of his hand.

“What brings Manager Jiang here at this time?”

Lin Jing looked at Manager Jiang. This was only the second time he had seen him since he moved here. Presumably, if it was not for something important, Manager Jiang would not have come.

“Lin Daoyou, you must have heard about some of the things that have happened recently.”

Manager Jiang began.

“Yes, I’ve heard that there have been several Demonic Beast attacks recently, all around the outskirts of Fang Market, causing a lot of panic.”

“It’s about that,” said Manager Jiang with a sigh.

“Sigh…’

“This Demonic Beast upheaval has had a huge impact, causing panic within the

Fang Market.”

“I came here about that very issue.”

Lin Jing then asked, “Does Fang Market have a strategy to deal with it, Manager Jiang?

“Fang Market has issued an announcement to recruit personnel to join the Guard Team to maintain peace in the market.”

“However, given the current difficult situation and the need for a large number of Spirit Stones to recruit personnel…”

“So… Fang Market has decided that each household must contribute ten Spirit Stones as a fund to recruit the Guard Team.”

“I see,” said Lin Jing.

“Hold on a moment, Manager Jiang. I’ll go get them for you.”

Since he came out in a hurry, Lin Jing did not carry Spirit Stones with him. After responding to Manager Jiang, he headed back inside the house.

Shortly after, he came out of the house and handed ten Spirit Stones to Manager Jiang.

Manager Jiang took the Spirit Stones and then spoke again:

“Lin Daoyou, as you can see the situation, next year’s rent… will not be the same price, and I think you can understand that.” “I’m informing you in advance so you can prepare.”

“Naturally,” replied Lin Jing.

“Well, then I’ll go to the next house.”

“Lin Daoyou, a word of advice. If possible, you should stock up on some necessities. We don’t know how long this Demonic Beast turmoil will last.”

“Lin Daoyou, farewell.”

After reminding Lin Jing, Manager Jiang took his leave.

Following Manager Jiang’s departure, Lin Jing closed the door and returned inside. He did not continue to rest but instead contemplated Manager Jiang’s words.

“Stock up on necessities?”

It seemed he might know something..
