This is the first time Lin Chen has heard someone say that he is amazing.

From childhood to adulthood, the most common evaluation he has heard is "useless".

Under the influence of his sister, Lin Chen has always felt that he might be a super waste who can only survive by relying on his sister.

But now he hears the evaluation of "very strong", and these words are spoken by his future wife.

Lin Chen couldn't help feeling a little elated.

"Yes, based on the master's performance just now, the master's strength is extremely powerful," Vivian analyzed.

"Puppets are made of alchemy materials and have inherent affinity for magic. The more magic they absorb, the more their bodies will be strengthened."

This sounds similar to the cultivation of aura.

Condensing aura to refine a martial soul, then continuously strengthening the martial soul.

At the same time, the body is also tempered to become stronger and tougher.

Lin Chen naturally thought of this.

In other words, by cultivating aura, he would be stronger than the humans in this world, and maybe even comparable to a Puppet!

"Master just killed a D-ranked Puppet... Among humans, he is already a top existence," Vivian's statement confirmed Lin Chen's speculation.

So he wasn't really a waste?

Or is it that Lovia, his sister, is too powerful, causing her to have high standards and think of Lin Chen as a waste?

It turns out I should really go out and see the outside world!

Lin Chen clenched his fist. With his current self, he can protect his lovely Vivian from harm.

Of course, he must protect his wife properly.

"So, let me protect you," Lin Chen said seriously to Vivian.

"Yes, kid, you are indeed very strong. I thought you were someone who specializes in dealing with Puppets..." the old man said. "Come with me to the institute tomorrow morning and sell these things."

The old man kicked the goblin Puppet lying on the ground next to his feet.

"Can these be sold?"

"Yes," the old man nodded. "Don't tell me you don't even know this?"

"Yeah..." Lin Chen scratched his head, embarrassed.

"These damaged Puppet remains can be sent for disassembly to obtain Puppet cores, and sometimes even other materials," Bonnie explained to Lin Chen. "And these materials can be sold to the material shops in the institute for money."

"Generally, only the Puppet Institute can trade these materials. They have a monopoly on these things, unless it's in the black market," the old man said.

"But for cores like the ones in these remains, they can't be directly used for reinforcement. They have remnants of souls and must go through special technical processing and synthesis to become reinforcement stones."

"Can they be sold for a lot of money?" Lin Chen nodded.

"A D-ranked Puppet core can probably be exchanged for several tens of copper coins."

"That's great!"

This can temporarily solve the economic problem.

"Who were those guys just now...?" Lin Chen asked.

"You don't know this either?"

The old man looked puzzled. This young man in front of him really didn't know anything.

"They are the Black Cloud, the local gang in Bull Town, with great power. Even the governor and lord dare not provoke them. But in the town, there are only two forces that they won't touch and won't be touched by," the old man said, raising one finger.

"One is the Puppet Master Academy, a branch in Bull Town, with the main academy located in the imperial city. It is the second most powerful force in the Violet Empire, right after the royal family. No local powers dare to provoke them."

The old man raised a second finger, showing him the second option.

"And the other is the local Hunter Guild. The Black Cloud and the Hunter Guild coexist peacefully, not provoking each other. The Hunter Guild gives the Black Cloud some 'management fees'."

The old man finished introducing the situation in Bull Town.

"If you join the Hunter Guild, it will save you a lot of trouble. And the Hunter Guild controls its own territory, with facilities such as inns, taverns, and weapon shops that the Black Cloud cannot freely control.""Indeed, it is indeed a good choice for the master," Vivian also looked at Lin Chen, "Although the master is very strong, forgive Vivian for being bold, there may be stronger enemies in the Dark Cloud, so please be careful, master."

Lin Chen nodded, he couldn't be complacent about it.

After all, this world is still vast, and maybe he's just a little bit powerful.

"By the way, I have another question, about this..."

Lin Chen looked at Bonnie and finally his gaze fell on the metal collar around Vivian's neck.

The existence of this collar always made him feel uncomfortable.
