Chapter 227 – Egg thief


    It was just elementary school homework; it should be simple.@@novelbin@@


    After all, he was the top scorer in the college entrance examination back then. Doing this kind of problem should be a piece of cake.


    With a rxed attitude, Lin Jichen returned to his room and studiedte into the night!


    However, when he opened the homework, he realized that elementary school homework was far from as simple as he had imagined...


    For example, this math problem: Write the multiplication form based on the rhythm.


    The first one: ding ding ding, ding ding ding.


    The second one: ah, ah, ah, ah.


    The third one: woo woo woo, woo woo woo.


    The fourth one: meow meow, meow meow, meow meow, meow meow.


    ...


    And another question: Mom spent eight yuan to buy 15 apples and 20 peaches.The question is how old is Mom this year?


    ...


    "What the heck is this?" Lin Jichen was utterly confused, feeling his intelligence was being insulted.


    Then he looked at the homework for other subjects, and there were many bizarre questions, making Lin Jichen dizzy.


    He wanted to ask Ren Lan for help but felt too embarrassed.


    After all, he was a top scorer in the college entrance examination, yet he couldn''t solve elementary school problems. How humiliating would that be?


    But in reality, Lin Jichen hadn''t touched a book in years and had no idea how to solve these problems.


    In the end, with no other choice, Lin Jichen casuallypleted all the homework, just to get it done.


    To ensure Tang Tang''s teacher wouldn''t notice, he even imitated Tang Tang''s handwriting perfectly.


    After writing for several hours, he finally finished everything.


    Feeling a sense of pride, Lin Jichen went to bed.


    The next day, when Tang Tang found out that Lin Jichen had done all her homework, she was overjoyed.


    Tang Tang didn''t bother to check it, believing what Sister Ren had told her: Brother Lin was a top scorer in the college entrance examination, so how could such simple elementary school homework be a problem?


    So, Tang Tang focused all her energy onpeting with the old man at the chess club in the game, determined to beat him a hundred times.


    It was rare for Tang Tang to have someone to y chess with.


    In reality, no one dared to y so many games with her. Even the best chess yers in the neighborhood would run away when they saw her.


    Tang Tang had tried ying chess games online, but she never met a worthy opponent and didn''t enjoy it.


    She didn''t like online chess because she couldn''t touch the chessboard and didn''t feel the joy of ying.


    Moreover, Qin Xiaowei didn''t want her to y on her phone orputer all the time, fearing it would harm her eyes.


    Finally having the chance to y chess, even though the chess club director''s skills were a bitcking, Tang Tang was already very satisfied.


    Thus, the three of them spent their days in the game, onlying out to eat, living quitefortably.


    To take care of Tang Tang''s health, Lin Jichen bought her a gaming pod.


    Although Tang Tang couldn''t y for long, buying the gaming pod was still worth it, even if she only yed asionally.


    With the gaming pod, the little girl became even more engrossed and started to take an interest in the game.


    Of course, Niu Naitang was still only interested in the chess aspect of the game...


    ***


    Two days passed.


    Lin Jichen easily evaded several attempts by yers to capture him. Every time the system was about to announce his location, he would flee.


    At this stage, no one could catch up to him, so if Lin Jichen wanted to run, no one could stop him.


    Unless someone set a trap and used the forbidden flight skill on him, no one could keep him from leaving.


    After spending two days, Lin Jichen sessfully arrived at the Beast Forest.


    The Beast Forest had a barrier that required one to reach the Crystal Realm to enter.


    This forest had an excellent climate and environment, attracting many beasts of various kinds.


    There were birds, snakes, turtles, bears, wolves, and more.


    However, it was also full of dangers, and trying to take advantage of it wasn''t easy.


    Lin Jichen needed to leave the area before the system announced his location again to avoid being discovered by other yers.


    In such a good ce, he would keep it hidden for as long as possible.


    The less other yers knew about it, the better.


    This way, he could open a monopoly pet shop and make a fortune.


    As soon as hended in the Beast Forest, Lin Jichen saw a Foundation Establishment Realm bird flying past him, carrying a simrly ranked flower snake in its beak.


    The flower snake was clearly dead, bing a meal for the bird.


    Lin Jichen immediately recognized the two beasts: the Red-Eyed Horned Eagle and the Shaluo Viper.


    Although the Red-Eyed Horned Eagle had killed the Shaluo Viper, it didn''t seem to intend to eat it right away.


    Lin Jichen guessed it might be nning to take the meal back to its nest to feed its children or mate.


    He quickly followed.


    Although the Red-Eyed Horned Eagle wasn''t a high-level pet, bird-type pets were quite popr.


    Moreover, the Red-Eyed Horned Eagle could grow to the size of an adult, with wingspansparable to eagles, capable of carrying people in flight, which was very cool.


    In his previous life, the Red-Eyed Horned Eagle was one of the most popr andmon pets among ordinary yers.


    With his Mountain River Step boots and Conceal and Shadow skills, Lin Jichen was practically a master at stealth and tracking.


    The Red-Eyed Horned Eagle had no idea it was being followed. As it flew through the forest, Lin Jichen ran swiftly below, keeping pace.


    Lin Jichen''s speed far exceeded that of the eagle, so even though it was flying, he could easily keep up.


    He followed like a shadow.


    Finally, the Red-Eyed Horned Eagle flew to a towering ancient tree with a hole at the top, where it carried its meal inside.


    From below, Lin Jichen could clearly hear the chirping of young birds.


    After dropping off the food, the Red-Eyed Horned Eagle hurriedly flew away, likely to find more food for its numerous offspring.


    Seizing the opportunity, Lin Jichen became an expert egg thief, rising into the air to reach the tree hole.


    Peeking inside, he saw over a dozen young birds and seven or eight unhatched eggs.


    However, there was also a female eagle inside, tearing apart the Shaluo Viper to feed its young.


    Lin Jichen''s sudden appearance made the female eagle see him as a threat, and it immediately attacked.


    Its sharp beak struck like lightning, determined to drive away the intruder.


    Lin Jichen didn''t resist the eagle''s attacks, simply blocking with his arm.


    The female eagle''s attacks were easily deflected, having no effect.


    A Foundation Establishment Realm beast trying to harm him? That was wishful thinking.


    With one hand blocking the eagle, Lin Jichen happily started collecting the eggs in the nest with the other.


    The hatched young birds and unhatched eggs were all taken, with the unhatched eggs stored in his storage space.


    The newly hatched young birds were ced in a beast cage and then into his storage ring.


    The beast cage was specifically designed for capturing unimed beasts, but it could only hold young beasts and was quite expensive, costing hundreds of spirit stones each.


    Lin Jichen had bought it specifically for gathering supplies in the Beast Forest.


    Seeing all its offspring stolen, the female eagle became furious, attacking even more frantically.


    Lin Jichen didn''t fight back, letting the eagle attack while heughed and said, "I won''t hurt you. Just take good care of yourself and have more babies with your mate. I''ll be back next time."


    With that, he disappeared.


    The female eagle: "...."
