Chapter 145 She kept her doubts to herself for the time being.
In late summer, before people arrive, their voices arrive first.
Similarly, before anyone could see standing at the other end of the carriage by the end of summer, those whose figures were obscured by the horses saw the live broadcast screen first.
The refined and handsome young man was none other than Lin Fengzhi's cousin, Lin Chengzhi.
Tsk.
It's true what they say, enemies are bound to meet.
"What kind of horse is this, that it can be so talkative!" Lin's attendant shouted.
Xia Mo pretended to take an apple out of her sleeve, but actually took it out of her soul space. She put a strengthening pill inside the apple and fed it to the horse.
She could gather all the necessary ingredients to make these simplified versions of strengthening pills in this world, so she used them lavishly without a second thought.
The horse's intuition told it that there was something good in the apple, something very useful to it. When it was handed it at the end of summer, it didn't even bite it, but swallowed it whole.
"Feeding apples to horses..."
Lin's attendant was dumbfounded and gasped softly.
“Yes, I like it. What, do you have a problem with that?” Xia Mo looked at Lin Chengzhi with disdain and said, “You’re so poor that you can’t even afford a hundred taels of silver, yet you still want to force yourself to buy a horse. How ridiculous.”
In late summer, when the horse was fed apples, it ate a health-boosting pill. A surge of energy rushed through its body, especially its legs, and the horse excitedly neighed.
Just a moment ago, the fur was dull, but in just a short while, it became shiny and the eyes became brighter.
“One hundred taels it is,” Lin Chengzhi’s live streaming system responded.
The live streaming system popped up a notification: According to system detection, this is an exceptionally strong horse, capable of traveling at 80 kilometers per hour.
Summer's End: "..."
She saw a red light shine from the live streaming system, which swept across the horse before the notification popped up.
Clearly, apart from her and Lin Cheng, the other two people present could not see the red light.
In other words, the horse's speed increased because it ate the health-enhancing pills she gave it.
This is the first time it's been given, and it's already having this effect. If it's given a second time, won't the effect be even greater?
“No, the price has gone up now. I’ll only sell if you offer five hundred taels,” Xia Mo said before her brother could.
Brother Xia was surprised.
They bought a horse and carriage for fifty taels of silver. The other party offered one hundred taels of silver. They could sell the horse and carriage first and then go into the city to buy another one. Wouldn't that be better?
"you you you……"
Lin Sui stared at Xia Mo, stammering for a long time without uttering a complete sentence.
“One, two, three, okay, I’ve counted to three, the price has gone up, one thousand taels,” Xia Mo said deliberately.
Actually, she noticed that Lin Chengzhi was having a conversation with the live streaming system in his mind, and the dialog box that popped up appeared.
Lin Chengzhi carefully typed text into the live streaming system, asking whether it was worth spending five hundred taels to buy it.
The live stream system popped up a message: This horse possesses a pharmacological mystery that the system cannot unravel, and its value far exceeds five hundred taels.
Lin Chengzhi had just finished his conversation with the live streaming system when Xia Mo said the price had risen to one thousand taels, and Lin Chengzhi's face immediately darkened.
Brother Xia was speechless for a moment.
"One, two, three, now it's two thousand taels," Xia Mo deliberately raised the price again.
It was because she saw the chat box between Lin Chengzhi and the live streaming system.
The live streaming system stated: "This horse is worth 1,000 taels of silver, and the system is willing to pay 1,000 reward points to buy it back."
They decisively raised prices at the end of summer.
She knew what the live streaming system was targeting.
They've got their eyes on the health-enhancing pills she feeds to the horses!
It seems that Lin Chengzhi's live streaming system is somewhat different from Ma Yiyi's.
Ma Yiyi's live streaming system did not emit red light, nor did it have a scanning function.
She kept her doubts to herself for the time being.
Lin Chengzhi's face darkened when he heard Xia Mo deliberately raise the price: "You just said it was a thousand taels! A thousand taels, I'll buy it!"
When Lin Chengzhi shouted out one thousand taels, a look of pain appeared on his face.
“One, two, three, now it’s four thousand taels,” Xia Mo chuckled, her eyes crinkling, her intention written all over her face, as if to say, “Yes, I did it on purpose.”
Brother Xia didn't say anything either; as long as his little sister was happy, that was enough.
Lin Chengzhi stared at Xia Mo, a murderous intent rising in his heart, his gaze shifting back and forth between Xia Mo and Brother Xia.
"Brother, that rock is really in my way. Why don't you move it?" Xia Mo glanced at Lin Chengzhi with a mocking look in her eyes.
Lin Chengzhi's live streaming system contains 90% of Lin Fengzhi's luck points, so it's not possible to take his life directly yet.
“Okay,” Brother Xia said, looking at the huge rock by the roadside.
Lin Chengzhi's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Brother Xia with hesitation.
Brother Xia walked to the boulder weighing three hundred pounds, picked it up, and asked, "Little sister, where should I put it?"
“In front of the two of them,” Xia Mo pointed to Lin Chengzhi, who harbored malicious intent.
Brother Xia was stunned for a moment, not understanding why, but still did as he was told.
Lin Chengzhi retreated repeatedly, his face grim.
Judging from the strength Brother Xia displayed, even the two of them, master and servant, couldn't handle him!
Unless he can get close to Brother Xia and quickly inject the sleeping potion!
The live streaming system displayed another notification box, saying: "If you can get the horse, the system is willing to give you 5,000 reward points."
The live streaming system knew how important the horse was to Lin Chengzhi and kept tempting him with tips.
Lin Chengzhi didn't move, not because he was inactive, but because... he was assessing the situation.
After throwing the boulder in front of Lin Chengzhi, Brother Xia dusted it off, as if he hadn't just been holding a 300-pound boulder.
“There’s something dirty on the roof of the carriage,” Xia Mo instructed again.
Brother Xia, with a mixture of helplessness and indulgence, leaped up and landed on the roof of the carriage. He patted it down, indicating, "All done."
Xia Mo looked at Lin Chengzhi and his attendant and said, "I don't like the two of them."
Brother Xia hesitated for a moment, but still swung his fist and attacked.
Lin Chengzhi felt his chance had come. He clenched his fist, and on his finger, he wore a ring that held a hidden weapon injection solution. He swung his fist back at Brother Xia.
Xia Mo raised an eyebrow and used her divine sense to lock the mechanism on Lin Chengzhi's ring.
Lin Chengzhi's fist was not as fast as Brother Xia's fist.
Brother Xia swung a punch, and Lin Chengzhi fell backward. Then, somehow, his hand, which had a mechanism on it, stabbed himself in the face.
"Do not……"
Lin Chengzhi's malfunctioning mechanical ring suddenly worked again!
The sleeping pills in the ring were injected directly into his own body, and within a minute, Lin Chengzhi's eyes rolled back and he fell into a coma.
Seeing this, Lin Chengzhi's attendants dared not say anything more, and carried Lin Chengzhi away.
After Lin Chengzhi and his servant had walked away, Brother Xia raised a question.
"Little sister, why... did you just now?" Brother Xia asked, puzzled.
"The young master who left was named Lin Chengzhi, Lin Fengzhi's cousin. He also fabricated evidence to prove that Lin Fengzhi was not the legitimate son of the Lin family," Xia Mo explained earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Brother Xia exclaimed, "I should have given him a couple more punches!"
“I think Lin Fengzhi would prefer to take action himself, right?” Xia Mo said with a smile.
