One possibility is that the fire seed base-mutated eggs don’t always have fire seeds; it’s only at certain times that the mosaic can be seen.

Another possibility is that Henry Lincoln himself didn’t have the ability to see the fire seeds before, but recently acquired this ability, which is why he can now see the mosaic.

Henry Lincoln couldn’t figure out for the moment which possibility it was.

If it’s a recently acquired ability, he hasn’t encountered anything special lately, nor has he obtained anything unusual, so how could he suddenly have this ability?

If the fire seeds only appear on the base-mutated eggs at specific times, that doesn’t really make sense either. It’s hard to explain why only he can see the fire seeds while no one else can.

Henry Lincoln was more inclined to believe that he had gained some kind of ability, but he didn’t know how he had acquired it.

“Could it be that I’m exceptionally gifted, and my latent talent suddenly awakened?” Henry Lincoln quickly dismissed this idea himself.

There are five siblings in the Lin family, all born to the same parents. If the family really had such a hereditary talent, the eldest sister and the others should have awakened it long ago—it’s impossible that only he would awaken such a talent.

In terms of talent and ability, Henry Lincoln felt he was probably the worst among the five siblings.

The eldest sister had a photographic memory since childhood. The second brother had unparalleled physical talent—he weighed nine and a half jin at birth, and was nearly 1.8 meters tall before the age of ten. His physical prowess was famously strong, and with his determined character and willingness to work hard, even though he was young before the accident, anyone who met him would call him “Second Master.” The Lin brothers being called “Master” started with him.

The third and fourth brothers were also famous for their high IQ and EQ, and their cultivation talent was among the best at the Xuan Bird Base.

On the other hand, Henry Lincoln had neither a photographic memory nor exceptional intelligence or emotional intelligence, and even in terms of hard work and endurance, he was far behind the second brother. If there really was a hereditary talent, there was no reason it would only be passed on to him.

“What exactly is the reason I can see those fire seeds?” Henry Lincoln was completely puzzled and couldn’t figure it out.

He had browsed all the shops on the street, not even missing the roadside stalls, but the result was disappointing—he really didn’t find a single fire seed base-mutated egg.

“Could it really be such a coincidence that the only two fire seed base-mutated eggs are in my shop?” Henry Lincoln didn’t believe it could be such a coincidence; the odds were even lower than winning the lottery.

But after searching the whole street, he really hadn’t found a single fire seed base-mutated egg. Even if other shops had them in stock or in collections, they wouldn’t show them to him, and there was nowhere else to look.

Suddenly, Henry Lincoln’s eyes lit up—he thought of a place that still had a large number of base-mutated eggs.

That’s right, the place Henry Lincoln thought of was the claw machine shop right next to his own store.

Speaking of that claw machine shop, Henry Lincoln felt very frustrated.

The reason Henry Lincoln opened a claw machine shop was because the business was easy and effortless, and the base-mutated eggs in his shop were all supplied by his family, making it a sure-win, no-loss business.

In fact, his family didn’t expect Henry Lincoln to make money; as long as he behaved himself and stayed out of trouble, that was enough.

Henry Lincoln named his shop “Get Rich,” originally hoping to make a fortune and earn some pocket money. The first few months of business were indeed good. Although it wasn’t exactly a windfall, he still made quite a bit—it could be said he was making money while lying down.

That was until last month, when a claw machine shop called “Easter Egg” opened next door, and Henry Lincoln’s good days came to an end.

The Easter Egg shop brought in a lot of high-quality base-mutated eggs, set the claw tension a bit higher, offered a wide variety, had cheaper claw machine tokens, and the store was big and impressive. Not long after opening, it stole all of Henry Lincoln’s business.

If it weren’t for the fact that both the shop and the base-mutated eggs were his family’s, Henry Lincoln would have considered closing down—he simply couldn’t compete.

There’s no right or wrong in business competition, but according to Henry Lincoln’s observations, judging by the number of base-mutated eggs recently won at the Easter Egg shop, they were clearly selling at a loss—not only not making money, but actually losing money. It was obvious they wanted to drive his shop out of business by losing money.

What Henry Lincoln couldn’t stand the most was that the owner of the Easter Egg shop was actually Samuel Quinn.

Samuel Quinn was a member of the Qi family, grew up on the same street as Henry Lincoln, and was about the same age—in fact, they could be considered childhood friends.

But maybe it was some grudge from a past life, the two of them had never gotten along since they were kids, and neither would back down to the other.

If you have something, I have to get it too—and it has to be better than yours.

They’d compete to see who grew taller faster, who could pee higher and farther, who could run faster and jump higher, whose girlfriend was prettier—there was nothing they wouldn’t compete over, and neither could stand to see the other do well.

If it weren’t for this, Samuel Quinn wouldn’t have opened the Easter Egg shop right next to Henry Lincoln’s store.

“What kind of evil wind blew you, the Lin family’s little fifth master, in here?” A fat man weighing over two hundred jin sat behind the counter. When he saw Henry Lincoln walk in, he was stunned for a moment, then squinted his eyes and grinned, speaking in a mocking tone.

Henry Lincoln ignored him and started wandering around the shop, his eyes constantly scanning the base-mutated eggs inside the claw machines.
