《Richest Man: Getting 7 Billion Red Pockets To Start With》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jiangbei city. At noon, in Qingfeng Restaurant. The woman had an oval-shaped face and jet-black hair, scoring 85 points for appearance. She casually sized up Lin Fan, who was sitting opposite her. With the way he was dressed, he looked like he ran a roadside stall. A look of disdain appeared on her face. After a while, the woman said in an arrogant tone, ¡°Let me introduce myself. My name is Qiao Shiya. I¡¯m 23 years old this year. I graduated from 211 University, and my annual salary is 200,000 yuan. Lin Fan said, ¡°My name¡¯s Lin Fan. I¡¯m 23 years old. I¡¯m a high school graduate, and my monthly salary is 4,000 yuan.¡± ¡°Oh,¡± Qiao Shiya replied casually, and the disdain on her face grew. At the same time, she started to blame her mother for getting someone like him to be her blind date! Even though Lin Fan was slightly handsome, what could his good looks be used for? He was not educated! He needed to have a good job! Lin Fan was not worthy of her! Qiao Shiya picked up the glass of fruit juice in front of her and casually drank it. ¡­ Lin Fan had to admit that Qiao Shiya was indeed very pretty. However, Lin Fan could hear her arrogant tone and see her disdainful expression. Lin Fan was not a bootlicker. Even if others looked down on him, he could not be bothered. The two of them sat opposite each other without saying a word. The atmosphere was a little heavy. Ding! Ding! At that moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone started vibrating. He took out his phone and saw that he had received a strange message. [Ding! You¡¯ve received seven billion red packets. Do you want to collect them?] Lin Fan could not help but laugh. Seven billion red packets? ¡®Doesn¡¯t this mean that almost everyone in the world gave me a red packet?¡¯ Cell phone advertisements nowadays were too exaggerated. Normally, Lin Fan would have closed the advertisement. However, at that moment, the extremely bored Lin Fan was filled with curiosity. He clicked ¡®confirm¡¯. To kill time, he wanted to see what kind of content would appear next. Ding! Ding! The next moment, a dazzling red light appeared on the phone screen. A red packet appeared on the screen. Lin Fan clicked ¡®open¡¯. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 19,999 Yuan.] Then, another red packet appeared on the screen. Lin Fan clicked ¡®open¡¯ again. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 99 yuan.] Then, a new red packet appeared on the screen. Lin Fan couldn¡¯t help but wonder, ¡®Could this be a program that constantly makes red packets appear?¡¯ If so, then it was a little lame. At the thought of this, Lin Fan wanted to close the app and leave. However, at this moment, his phone vibrated slightly. The bank had sent two consecutive text notifications. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 19,999 yuan was deposited into your account at 12:00 p.m.] [Notice from Merchant Bank: 99 yuan was deposited into your account at 12:00 p.m.] Lin Fan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. These two sums of money were actually the sums of the two red packets that he just received! Wait¡­ Was it not an advertisement? The red packets were real? Lin Fan was both excited and confused as he clicked open another red packet. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 29,999 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 2,000 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained professional driving skills. Your unparalleled driving skills give you a unique charm.] [Ding! Congratulations, you have received five yuan.] Lin Fan kept clicking ¡®open¡¯ on the screen. At the same time, the bank also kept sending text messages to him. He understood now¡­ that these were all real red packets! Qiao Shiya, who was sitting across from him, saw that Lin Fan had not spoken for a long time and was instead tapping on his phone screen. She could not help but frown. Qiao Shiya stretched her neck and glanced at Lin Fan¡¯s phone screen. [Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] Seeing this, she was startled. Qiao Shiya was both angry and disdainful. After all, she was a highly educated beauty who was also a high earner. This man was not taking the opportunity to chat with her but instead focused on snatching red packets that were only worth a few yuan! Qiao Shiya stood up and said coldly, ¡°I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve realized that we¡¯re not suitable for each other.I have something to do later, so I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± Then, she got up and prepared to leave. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a Lamborghini Aventador.] When Lin Fan wanted to continue opening red packets, the time on his phone changed to 12:01 p.m. Then, a dialog box popped up on the screen. [Prompt: there are still 23 hours and 59 minutes until the next red packet. ] [Note: for every 10,000 yuan you spend, you can immediately receive a red packet.] Lin Fan slowly put his phone back into his pocket. At this moment, he found a car key in his pocket. The key to the Lamborghini! When he opened one of the red packets, he had indeed received a Lamborghini. However, how did the car keys get into his pocket? The red packets were all real! Qiao Shiya glanced at Lin Fan, who was still staring at his phone in a daze. She thought that he was still busy claiming red packets that were only worth a few yuan. Her heart was filled with even more disdain. Qiao Shiya did not stay any longer. She swayed her hips and strode outside. At this moment, there were many people standing at the door. They looked at a cool supercar not far away with eyes full of amazement. ¡°A Lamborghini!¡± ¡°Moreover, it¡¯s a Lamborghini Aventador. It costs ten million yuan in the country!¡± ¡°The silver-gray color makes it look so cool!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t believe there¡¯s such a car in Jiangbei. I wonder which God-level tycoon owns it.¡± An internet celebrity in a hot dress even walked in front of the Lamborghini, flirtatiously posing and constantly taking selfies. Qiao Shiya looked at the supercar with envy. When Qiao Shiya saw Lin Fan walk out of the restaurant, her expression immediately became one of extreme annoyance. She had already said that they were not compatible, so why was he still shamelessly following her? ¡°I drove here myself. I don¡¯t need you to send me back.¡± As she spoke, Qiao Shiya waved the BMW car keys in her hand. She wanted Lin Fan to know the difference between the two of them. She had a BMW, while he could not even afford a car! ¡°I didn¡¯t say I was going to send you home,¡± Lin Fan said. He then took out the keys to his Lamborghini and pressed it gently. The car¡¯s lights lit up and the car horn sounded. Then, he strode to the Lamborghini, opened the door, and sat in it. Lin Fan rarely drove, and he had never driven a supercar. However, the moment he sat in the Lamborghini, he seemed to be a veteran who had driven for decades. He knew the car like the back of his hand. It was amazing! The female internet celebrity who was standing in front of the car and taking selfies saw Lin Fan enter the car. She exclaimed in her heart, ¡®He¡¯s handsome and rich!¡¯ The internet celebrity leaned over the car window excitedly and said,¡±Hey, handsome. Do you wanna go for a meal together?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve just eaten,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°How about we go to the movies together, then? There are quite a few good movies showing now,¡± the internet celebrity said again. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I still have something to do later.¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Handsome, let¡¯s add each other on WeChat,¡± the internet celebrity called out to him again. However, Lin Fan had already rolled up the car window and started the engine. He did not hear what the internet celebrity said. As he stepped on the gas, the Lamborghini shot out like a cannonball. What¡­ Qiao Shiya saw everything. She was completely stunned. Lin Fan actually drove away in a supercar! He just had a meal with her¡­ He was on a blind date with her¡­ However, she actually rejected him¡­ If she were to marry Lin Fan¡­ ¡®I won¡¯t have to work hard anymore!¡¯ How regretful! Endless regret filled her heart. Qiao Shiya only felt a burst of pain in her chest. Ring, ring, ring! At this moment, the phone in Qiao Shiya¡¯s pocket rang with a brisk ringtone. ¡°Shiya, how did it go? Did you meet Lin Fan?¡± Her mother, Chen Minfen¡¯s, low voice came from the phone. ¡°Yeah, I met with him,¡± Qiao Shiya said a little woodenly. ¡°He¡¯s not by your side now, is he? Is it convenient for you to talk?¡± Chen Minfen asked. ¡°He¡¯s not here,¡± Qiao Shiya said. ¡°What do you think of Lin Fan? If you don¡¯t like him, you don¡¯t have to force it! Just deal with it casually. You have my support.After all, his family background is just too ordinary,¡± Chen Minfen said. ¡°His family¡¯s situation is just so-so?¡± Qiao Shiya was slightly taken aback. Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Qiao Shiya was stunned. ¡°Is his family¡­ average?¡± After a pause, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, ¡°What do his parents do?¡± ¡°We used to work together. At that time, we had a good relationship. Now, I heard that you opened a small clothing store¡­¡± Chen Minfen said. Qiao Shiya said, ¡°Okay, Mom. I understand.¡± After saying that, he hung up. Qiao Shiya looked at the Lamborghini, which had completely disappeared from her sight, and a look of understanding appeared on her face. He said disdainfully, ¡°You think you can succeed by renting a car and going on blind dates? What a joke! Poor people will always be poor!¡± Then, she looked at the internet celebrity not far away and said, ¡°It¡¯s quite suitable for a b*tch to be paired with a b*stard.¡± After saying that, he walked towards the BMW with a smile. ¡­ Lin Fan drove the Lamborghini all the way! He was like a dazzling laser light. Wherever he went, he was the center of attention! This was a street explosion! A moment later, Lin Fan arrived at a public parking lot. He flipped out of the car and wrote his name on the driver¡¯s license and registration certificate. Puzzled, he asked, ¡°Could this be the legendary cheatcode? A system?¡± Just then, a virtual button appeared in front of Lin Fan. Lin Fan pointed casually. [Ding! Successfully activated system!] [Newbie Gift Bag obtained!] Then, a virtual display appeared in his mind. [Name: Lin Fan] [Level: Level 1] [Level 1 reward: 1 yuan for every breath; 1 yuan for every second of sleep; 1 yuan for every step. Reward of 24 points per day.] [Upgrade Consumption: 0/10,000 (Gifts to others, gambling, and other methods are not included. In addition, all items obtained from the system are prohibited from trading)] [Charm: 85 (Appearance, clothing, mental state, etc. are closely related)] [Skills: Professional driving technique] [Funds: 89,900 (All funds come from reasonable and legal sources, no need to worry about direct use)] [Hint: There are still 23 hours and 35 minutes until the next red packet.] [Prompt: For every 10,000 yuan spent, you can immediately obtain a red packet.] Lin Fan said, ¡°There really is a system!¡± ¡°Professional driving skills? No wonder driving this Lamborghini feels so simple!¡± Then, Lin Fan started studying the system again. For every breath he took, he would get one yuan. A normal person would get about 28,000 yuan every minute by breathing about 20 times, which was 24 hours a day. 1 yuan for every second of sleep. Based on eight hours of sleep a day, you can get about 28,000 yuan. For every step he took, he would get one yuan. This was not fixed. Sometimes it was hundreds, sometimes it was thousands. As for the red packet¡­ the amount depended on luck. In total, he could get 60,000 to 70,000 yuan a day, about 2 million yuan a month, and 24 million yuan a year! In addition, this was only Level 1. If he upgraded to Level 2 or even higher, he would probably get more money. At the thought of this, Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up. Then, he looked at the beginner¡¯s gift bag. [Do you want to open the beginner¡¯s gift bag?] ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained a charm halo, increasing your charm by 5 points. In addition, there is a 50% chance of triggering love at first sight and unforgettable love. Powerful charm is the most attractive.] [Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained a 10x cashback card. Only by spending better can you gain more.] Lin Fan felt his body warming up slightly, but nothing much had changed. He looked at his white pants and stepped on the accelerator. He went straight to KM Mall. KM Mall, the most high-end clothing shopping mall in Jiangbei City. ¡°Welcome, KM Mall. How can I help you?¡± Although Lin Fan¡¯s clothes were ordinary, However, the well-proportioned female salesperson who was standing at the door welcomed him immediately. From this point alone, it was not without reason that KM Mall could stand tall in Jiangbei for so many years. At least, the quality of the salespeople was much better than ordinary shops. Lin Fan said, ¡°Help me find something suitable for me.¡± ¡°This set of clothes is the latest this year. It¡¯s design cutting edge and is very comfortable.¡± Clothes make the man, Buddha makes the gold. This saying was not wrong at all. After changing into KM¡¯s clothes, Lin Fan¡¯s charm increased by 2 points, reaching 92 points! Lin Fan stretched his limbs and said, ¡°Alright, this one then. How much is it?¡± ¡°A total of 48,889 yuan,¡± the saleswoman said with a smile. When Lin Fan heard that, he frowned. When the saleswoman saw this, she sighed inwardly. As expected, it was another person who felt that KM was too expensive. At this moment, Lin Fan muttered, ¡°Only 40,000? Forget it, I¡¯ll swipe my card first.¡± Only 40,000? He actually didn¡¯t find it too expensive, but felt that it was too cheap? The saleswoman took the bank card in shock and gently swiped it on the POS machine. [Ding! The current expenditure is 48,889 yuan. Do you want to use the 10x cashier card?] ¡°Yes!¡± Lin Fan replied in his heart. [Ding! System upgraded, Level 2!] [Level 2 reward: 2 yuan for every breath; 2 yuan for every second of sleep; 2 yuan for every step. 24 yuan per day.] [Upgrade Consumption: 38,889 / 100,000 (Gifts to others and gambling are not included. In addition, all items obtained from the system are prohibited from trading)] Originally, he could obtain at least 60,000 to 70,000 yuan a day. Now, it had doubled to more than 100,000 yuan! Then, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. ¡°The Merchants Bank reminds you to deposit 488,890 yuan.¡± At the same time, a red packet appeared on his phone screen. [Ding! 40,000 yuan spent. You have received 4 red packets. Do you want to receive them all?] ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you have received $19,999.] [Ding! Congratulations, you have received $2.] [Ding! Congratulations, you have received 300 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you have received $2,999.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan smirked. The female salesperson beside him respectfully handed over her bank card and said, ¡°Sir, your card.¡± ¡°Two pieces over there and one set over there¡­ Wrap them up according to my size.¡± Lin Fan casually pointed at nearly ten pieces of clothing. The saleswoman understood that she had definitely met a super rich man. Hence, she hurriedly wrapped up all her clothes. ¡°A total of 232,100 yuan. I can apply to the store manager to help you get rid of the remaining 2,100 yuan. Please wait a moment,¡± the female salesperson said. Lin Fan said, ¡°Take that change as a tip.¡± To Lin Fan, money was just a number. This waiter had a good attitude. Although the clothes he chose were a little cheap, they were indeed very comfortable. Therefore, giving her a little reward was nothing. The saleswoman said happily, ¡°Thank you, sir.¡± Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation He swiped his card again. A notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! System upgrade: Level 3!] [Level 3 reward: five yuan for every breath; five yuan for every second of sleep, and five yuan for every step taken. Rewards are distributed at 12 a.m. daily.] [Upgrade cost: 270000/1 million (not including gifts and gambling. In addition, all items obtained from the system are prohibited from being traded.] This time, the system upgrade benefits were five times more than when he was at Level 1! In other words, Lin Fan could earn a minimum of 300,000 to 400,000 a day! At the same time, a red packet appeared on Lin Fan¡¯s phone screen. [Ding! [You have spent 230,000 yuan and received 23 red packets. Do you want to collect all of them?] ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 200 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 18,888 Yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the skill ¡®Violence Aesthetics¡¯. It can significantly enhance one¡¯s physique, reaction, agility, fighting skills, and so on. One will have the combat power to fight against a hundred opponents alone. One would be powerful and violent, fully displaying one¡¯s manliness. Even when fighting, one will still look pleasing to the eye.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the skill ¡®Drinking Gentleman¡¯. When drinking, one won¡¯t fall even after a thousand glasses. One will be gentlemanly, refined, and know all information about alcohol. Even when one is drinking, one will have endless charm.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 3,333 yuan.] He received a total of 192,335 yuan from the 23 red packets. Lin Fan was no longer interested in money. He set his eyes on the skills of ¡®Violence Aesthetics¡¯ and ¡®Drinking Gentleman¡¯. One against a hundred? A thousand glasses? Lin Fan felt his entire body brimming with energy. He drove back to his rented apartment in a good mood. That night, in the wee hours of the morning, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang with a message notification. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 213,500 yuan was deposited into your account at 12:00 a.m.] The next day, at 12:00 p.m. A red packet popped up on Lin Fan¡¯s phone again. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 19 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 2,999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 19,999 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received the Vacheron Constantin Tour de L¡¯Ile watch.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one building in Washington Palace.] When Lin Fan opened the last red packet, he was slightly stunned. Washington Palace? Was that not the best and most expensive neighborhood in the school district of Jiangbei? Apparently¡­ the price there is 50,000 yuan per square meter. One building? It was during this moment of daze that the time unknowingly changed to 12:01 p.m. The red packets disappeared. Lin Fan raised his head slowly with suspicion in his heart. When he raised his head, he was stunned again. That was because there was a huge pile of property ownership certificates and two large strings of keys in front of him. Lin Fan opened the first property ownership certificate. On it was written: [Building A, 101, area of 103 square meters. Property owner: Lin Fan.] Then, he opened the second certificate: [Building A, 102, area of 104 square meters. Property owner: Lin Fan.] He quickly opened the third certificate: [Building A, 103, area of 89 square meters. Property owner: Lin Fan.¡± ¡­ There were a total of 33 floors in the building, and there were four units on each floor! There were a total of 132 units, and all of them belonged to Lin Fan! The total value of these houses had reached hundreds of millions! Lin Fan could not help but put his hand in his pocket. He wanted to take out a cigarette, but he accidentally took out the fashionably designed Vacheron Constantin Tour de L¡¯Ile watch. He looked at the Vacheron Constantin Tour de L¡¯Ile in his hand, then at the property ownership certificate in front of him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Then, Lin Fan found a bag and put all the property ownership certificates and keys in it. After doing that, he strode downstairs. At this moment, the landlady, Wang Siqin, happened to be downstairs. She was holding her phone and seemed to be about to make a call. When she saw Lin Fan, she smiled and said, ¡°Lil¡¯ Lin, don¡¯t you have to work today?¡± As she spoke, Wang Siqin could not help but secretly size up Lin Fan. She did not know why, but she felt that Lin Fan looked a little different today. Especially the clothes that Lin Fan was wearing. She seemed to have seen them somewhere before. ¡°Yeah, I don¡¯t have to,¡± Lin Fan replied calmly. He really hated this landlord. Not only did she like to charge more for the water and electricity bills, but she would also often cut off the water and power. Before Lin Fan obtained the system, he had already made plans to move out once his contract expired. If it was not for the fact that he had some of his personal belongings in the rental house, he would have left long ago. Last night, Lin Fan was prepared not to come back. Seeing that Lin Fan was about to leave, Wang Siqin no longer cared about what was different about him. She hurriedly said, ¡°It¡¯s great that you don¡¯t have to work today! The toilet in my house is clogged and I can¡¯t clear it no matter what. Can you help me clear it?¡± From her tone, it did not seem to be a request but an order. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to do it.¡± Lin Fan¡¯s brows furrowed. After he finished speaking, he walked forward. Wang Siqin did not expect Lin Fan to reject her just like that and was slightly taken aback. Then, a ball of anger rose in her heart. She grabbed Lin Fan¡¯s arm and said, ¡°What do you mean you don¡¯t know how to? Don¡¯t you people who never went to college all do this kind of thing?¡± ¡°Let go!¡± Lin Fan¡¯s face darkened. However, Wang Siqin did not let go at all. Lin Fan¡¯s face turned cold as he flung her arm away. ¡°Ahhh!¡± The movement was too big, and he accidentally dropped the property ownership certificates and keys in his bag. Wang Siqin said disdainfully, ¡°You haven¡¯t even gone to college, yet you¡¯re trying to be a real estate agent? Can you even do a good job at introducing the houses?¡± Wang Siqin did not think that these houses belonged to Lin Fan at all. How could a poor loser who had to ask all sorts of questions because of the extra tens of yuan in water and electricity charges have so many houses? How was that possible? The only answer was that Lin Fan worked in a real estate agency, and these property ownership certificates and keys belonged to the agency. Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Fan could not be bothered to talk to Wang Siqin. After picking up the property ownership certificates and keys, he strode toward the Lamborghini that was parked in front. He opened the car door and got in. Then, he stepped on the accelerator and sped forward. At that moment, Li Jiahu dragged his fat body down the stairs and complained, ¡°Mom, when will the people who are supposed to clear the toilet arrive? I¡¯m about to die from the smell!¡± The next moment, Li Jiahu¡¯s eyes widened as he shouted excitedly, ¡°F*ck! That Lamborghini is awesome! There¡¯s actually someone in our neighborhood who drives a Lamborghini! That¡¯s too awesome!¡± As he spoke, Li Jiahu quickly took out his phone and took a few photos of the Lamborghini that was about to disappear from his sight. Seeing how excited Li Jiahu was, Wang Siqin said, ¡°Jiahu, do you like that car? When you find a job, I¡¯ll buy you one!¡± In her eyes, if Lin Fan could afford to drive that car, it definitely would not be all that great. ¡°Are you gonna buy that car?¡± Li Jiahu asked. ¡°Mom, do you know how much it costs?¡± ¡°How much can a car cost? 200,000?¡± Wang Siqin said. A few years ago, the house that belonged to Wang Siqin¡¯s family was demolished. From there, they got paid nearly a million bucks. Wang Siqin would not feel too much heartache even if she were to for out 200,000 yuan for her son. ¡°200,000? It wouldn¡¯t be enough even if you had ten times that amount! That was a Lamborghini, a super sports car! It costs almost ten million in the country!¡± Li Jiahu said. ¡°What?¡± Wang Siqin shouted, her mouth forming an ¡®O¡¯. Ten million? Even if she were to sell herself, she would not be able to get that much money. At this moment, Wang Siqin suddenly remembered why Lin Fan¡¯s clothes looked so familiar. A few days ago, Li Jiahu really liked that set of clothes when he was shopping at KM Mall. However, Wang Siqin saw that the set of clothes cost tens of thousands of dollars, so she dragged Li Jiahu out. Immediately after, Wang Siqin thought of the property ownership certificates and keys that Lin Fan had dropped on the floor. A terrifying thought suddenly appeared in her mind. Could it be that all those houses were his? At this thought, Wang Siqin could not help but gasp. ¡­ At that moment, Lin Fan had already arrived at Washington Palace. He took out the keys to open a few houses and found that all the houses were well-decorated and fully equipped with household appliances. One could move in directly with one¡¯s bags. Then, Lin Fan took the bag and went to a housing agency nearby. ¡°Hello, how may I help you?¡± The salesperson with black-rimmed glasses said. Lin Fan said, ¡°I have a place in Washington Palace, and I want you guys to help me rent it out. By the way, is your manager here? I think it¡¯s best to let your manager handle this.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve always been in charge of the rental and sale of the houses in Washington Palace. Just give me the information about the house, and I¡¯ll definitely help you rent it out at the highest price and in the shortest time possible,¡± the salesperson said with a smile. It seemed that the salesperson thought that Lin Fan¡¯s ¡®place¡¯ referred to a normal house instead of the entire building. Therefore, his tone was extremely relaxed and indifferent. ¡°Alright then,¡± Lin Fan nodded. Then, Lin Fan took out the property ownership certificates and keys from his pocket. When the salesperson saw it, he immediately opened his mouth wide and froze in place. After a while, he said in a daze, ¡°U-Uhh¡­ Please have some tea first. You can sit here for a while. I¡¯ll get the manager to come serve you.¡± Soon, a woman in a business suit walked out quickly. Lin Fan sized up the woman from top to bottom. Her facial features were exquisite, her skin was fair, and her figure was full and round. Her white shirt was about to burst open, and her straight long legs were wrapped in loose trousers. She looked mature and capable, making people restless at the sight of her. She would score about 94 points! ¡°Hello, I¡¯m the manager of Dongcheng District, Han Tian. This is my business card. May I know your name, sir? ¡± Han Tian handed over her business card and said. At the same time, Han Tian was also secretly sizing up Lin Fan. He had well-defined facial features, a height of 1.8 meters, and was wearing a new set of brand-name clothes. He also exuded a special aura. He was simply a heartthrob! Only one word popped up in her mind¡ªhandsome! Washington Palace was the best housing area in the school district in Jiangbei. It had always been priceless. As the manager of Dongcheng District, Han Tian was very clear that Building A was owned by a mysterious person. She had spent a lot of effort trying to find out more about this mysterious person but to no avail. Han Tian thought of a possibility. Perhaps this mysterious person had committed a crime and had already been caught or escaped abroad. It was not that unlikely for such things to happen. However, Han Tian did not expect the other party to be such a young man. Moreover, he was a tall and handsome young man. Han Tian seemed to feel that she had been staring at Lin Fan for too long and thought she was being a little rude. She blushed. ¡°You can call me Mr. Lin,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Mr. Lin,heard that you wish to rent out your place in Washington Palace?¡± Hearing Lin Fan¡¯s voice, Han Tian could not help but force herself to calm down. Her pretty face took on a professional expression again. ¡°Yes, I do,¡± Lin Fan said casually as he sipped his tea. Han Tian smiled and said, ¡°You made the right choice by coming to Lianjia. We¡¯re the largest sales and rental platform in the country. We can definitely rent your place out at the highest price in the shortest time possible. ¡°In addition, you own a whole building, so you¡¯re a big client of ours. Lianjia has a policy that values big clients, so we¡¯ll definitely provide you with the most favorable and convenient services.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head indifferently. ¡°Alright. Then I¡¯ll leave my building to you.¡± Han Tian was stunned. She did not expect Lin Fan to agree to it so easily. He did not even specify the price or ask about the commission rate. Why did he trust her so much? Han Tian¡¯s professional face blushed again as she whispered, ¡°Thank you for your trust, Mr. Lin.¡± Very quickly, the contract, which was still warm, was placed in front of Lin Fan. ¡­ Qiao Shiya dragged her tired body into Lianjia. ¡°Do you have any houses in Washington Palace for rent?¡± Qiao Shiya asked expectantly. Only by renting a house in Washington Palace would her brother be able to study at Jiangbei First Middle School. However, how could it be so easy to rent a place in Washington Palace? Today, Qiao Shiya went to almost ten agencies. She was drenched in sweat, but she had yet to yield results. Click! At that moment, Lin Fan had just finished signing the contract and walked out of the meeting room. When Qiao Shiya saw him, she could not help but recall what happened yesterday. She scorned him and thought, ¡®Don¡¯t you drive a Lamborghini? Why are you working as a real estate agent? The cost of renting a Lamborghini is probably one or two months of your salary. Poor loser!¡¯ The salesperson smiled at Qiao Shiya and said, ¡°You¡¯re really lucky!¡± ¡°This gentleman has just handed over an entire building under his name in Washington Palace to Lianjia for us to rent out! Now, Lianjia has a large number of units for you to choose from.¡± Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Silence! Everyone from Lianjia was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Qiao Shiya¡¯s mouth was half-open, and she was completely stunned. What did she just hear? Lin Fan entrusted an entire building in Washington Palace to Lianjia to rent out? He owned an entire building? And it was in Washington Palace? The average price of a house in Washington Palace was 50,000 yuan per square meter. A house would cost about five million yuan. How much would an entire building cost? Immediately after, Qiao Shiya once again thought of the great Lamborghini that Lin Fan had driven yesterday. It turned out that he was really a rich man¡ªa super-rich man! However, she¡­ actually rejected him yesterday! If she got together with him, she would not even have the need to break a single sweat today! The realization hurt. Qiao Shiya felt an endless ache in her chest. Lin Fan glanced at Qiao Shiya indifferently before walking out. He did not have a good impression of this woman who looked down on others. Qiao Shiya hurriedly called out, ¡°Lin Fan¡­ I mean, Mr. Lin¡­¡± However, his tall back was the only response she received. ¡°Miss, do you still wish to rent a house in Washington Palace?¡± Han Tian asked. ¡°Yeah, I want to rent a house,¡± Qiao Shiya said. At this moment, she came back to her senses. No matter what, she had to rent a house today. ¡°Unit 104 in Building A is the only place available for rent,¡± Han Tian said. ¡°The rent is 30,000 a month.¡± Earlier, Han Tian had seen all the changes in Lin Fan¡¯s expression. She knew that Lin Fan hated the woman in front of her. Lin Fan was a big client of hers. He was a very handsome client who trusted her! Lin Fan hated the woman in front of her, so she naturally had to teach her a lesson. ¡°30,000? How could it be so expensive? There¡¯s another luxury neighborhood not far from here and the rental is only 3,000 a month!¡± Qiao Shiya exclaimed. ¡°Also, just now, your salesperson said that there are many units to choose from. Why is it that you only have Unit 104 left?¡± ¡°He¡¯s not the only salesperson in our agency. How much could he possibly know?¡± Han Tian said unhurriedly. ¡°Many of the units have already been booked by other clients.¡± ¡°And since you said the rental in the other luxury neighborhood nearby is cheap, you can go and rent there.¡± After she finished speaking, she turned around and left. ¡°You¡¯re being unreasonable!¡± Qiao Shiya was furious. At this moment, the phone in her pocket rang. ¡°Shiya, you have to help your brother rent a house in Washington Palace! If this drags on, he won¡¯t be able to graduate from Jiangbei First Middle School.¡± Chen Minfen¡¯s anxious voice was heard from the other end of the phone. ¡°Mom, I¡¯ve found a house,¡± Qiao Shiya said hesitantly. ¡°Really? Alright, then hurry up and rent it. Don¡¯t let others snatch it away!¡± Chen Minfen shouted excitedly. ¡°But, the price of the house¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s the price? We have to rent it no matter how expensive it is! What¡¯s more important than your brother¡¯s school?¡± Chen Minfen shouted. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll rent it now,¡± Qiao Shiya sighed. ¡°Mom, you said yesterday that Lin Fan comes from an average family?¡± ¡°Yeah, they just run a small clothing store. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Chen Minfen said. ¡°Nothing¡­¡± Qiao Shiya sighed. She thought to herself, ¡®A small clothing store? They¡¯re probably keeping a low profile. In reality, they must be running a large fashion company.¡± After hanging up, Qiao Shiya had no choice but to walk forward again. She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°I¡¯ll rent Unit 104!¡± ¡­ After Lin Fan had lunch at Hilton Hotel, he went to the presidential suite to take a nap. Now that he had taken out all his personal belongings from his rented apartment, he naturally would not return there. Lin Fan closed his eyes and slowly entered dreamland. When he opened his eyes, it was already five in the afternoon. Lin Fan casually scrolled through his phone and realized that his high school group chat, which had been silent for a long time, was very active today. It turned out that they would be holding a class reunion at Fenglai Hotel in Jiangbei at seven o¡¯clock tonight. Everyone who was free would be there. Lin Fan could not help but think back to his high school days. He remembered the laughter and the faces of his few good friends. At the same time, he thought that since he had nothing to do that night, he would attend the class reunion. Lin Fan felt that it would be peak hours on the streets. There would definitely be a lot of cars on the road, and it would be very congested. Therefore, he left Hilton Hotel earlier. Just as Lin Fan had expected, there were many cars on the road. However, he did not count the fact that he was driving a Lamborghini, so the cars around him would take the initiative to distance themselves from him. Coupled with Lin Fan¡¯s professional driving skills, he was unimpeded the entire way. At 6:40 p.m., Lin Fan arrived at Room 666 of Fenglai Hotel. ¡°Huh, Lin Fan?¡± a round-faced man said with uncertainty. ¡°Shen Liang, you¡¯ve really changed a lot!¡± Lin Fan chuckled and nodded. In high school, Shen Liang was tall and thin. He was nicknamed ¡®bamboo¡¯. Now, he was wrapped up with meat. Time was really like a butcher¡¯s knife. ¡°So it really is you! I haven¡¯t seen you for a few years, and you¡¯ve become more and more handsome. I almost couldn¡¯t recognize you!¡± Shen Liang said. The young man named Wang Haoqi said, ¡°Lin Fan, this is the first time we¡¯ve seen each other since graduation, right? I heard that you started working after graduating from high school. What¡¯s your monthly salary?¡± ¡°A few thousand,¡± Lin Fan said casually. ¡°A few thousand? You¡¯ll have to eat more later. After all, the meal we¡¯re having today is probably worth a month¡¯s worth of your salary.¡± Wang Haoqi laughed at him with a look of disdain on his face. So what if Lin Fan was handsome? He was only earning a few thousand bucks a month. Lin Fan furrowed his brows. How could he not hear the mockery in Wang Haoqi¡¯s words? However, today was the class reunion, after all. It was not appropriate to make things look bad. Therefore, Lin Fan did not say much. Yang Wenshu, who was dressed in famous brands, walked in with a middle-aged man with a big beer belly. When the crowd saw her, they all started to greet her. ¡°Woah! Isn¡¯t she Yang Wenshu, the beautiful girl from our class?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you for a few years. You¡¯ve become younger and more beautiful!¡± ¡°Beauty Yang, aren¡¯t you going to introduce us to the person next to you?¡± ¡­ Yang Wenshu was so pleased to hear her classmates¡¯ praises that she laughed until her body trembled. Powdery wisps from the foundation on her face descended and landed on the table. ¡°Thank you for your compliments. This is my husband, Du Lei.¡± Yang Wenshu said. Lin Fan also looked at Yang Wenshu and her husband. Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief. Back in high school, a few girls in his class had expressed their love for him. Yang Wenshu was the most direct and boldest one. However, Lin Fan¡¯s focus back then was on his studies. Hence, he rejected Yang Wenshu and the other girls. Looking at Yang Wenshu now, Lin Fan could not help but feel glad that he had made the decision. Click, click. At this moment, Qin Yuxuan, with her fair skin and jet-black hair that hung down naturally like a waterfall, walked in slowly. Qin Yuxuan was dressed in a casual outfit, but her delicate features and perfect figure made her look extraordinary. With her arrival, it was as if the entire private room had lit up. Even Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Qin Yuxuan! I didn¡¯t expect that a top student like you would come!¡± ¡°What a rare day!¡± ¡°By the way, weren¡¯t there rumors in high school that Qin Yuxuan and Yang Wenshu were interested in Lin Fan? What¡¯s their situation now?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the situation? Yang Wenshu is married to that big shot! I heard that Qin Yuxuan is studying in Modu City!¡± ¡°Yang Wenshu is a rich madam while Qin Yuxuan remains to be a goddess! Lin Fan entered society after graduating from high school. Now, he only earns a few thousand yuan a month. He¡¯s a pauper. What kind of situation are you expecting?¡± Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When the students said this, they subconsciously looked at Lin Fan with mocking eyes. At the same time, they secretly distanced themselves from Lin Fan. It was as if being too close to Lin Fan was a loss of status. Qin Yuxuan was the only exception. After entering the private room, Qin Yuxuan¡¯s beautiful eyes quickly scanned the room. When she caught sight of Lin Fan, she paused for another two seconds, causing their eyes to meet. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. At this moment, silence was better than words. Soon, exquisite dishes were served and filled up the large table. There were fragrant beef ribs, steamed fish, grilled pork, and many others. ¡°I think there¡¯ll only be the few us today¡­ It¡¯s a rare occasion for us high school classmates to get together. I suggest that we all raise our glasses to make a toast!¡± ¡°Cheers!¡± ¡°Cheers!¡± The lively class reunion began. It had not been long since everyone tucked in when Hu Jinsong, who was wearing a checkered shirt, walked in. He first placed the car keys to his BMW on the table. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, my old classmates, I¡¯m late. The traffic was too heavy.¡± He cupped his fists. ¡°I¡¯ll punish myself by drinking a glass of wine!¡± After Hu Jinsong finished speaking, he immediately poured himself a glass of wine and poured it down his stomach. ¡°Hu Jinsong, not bad! You¡¯ve already bought a BMW!¡± Wang Hao asked curiously. ¡°It¡¯s just a BMW 5 Series. It¡¯s nothing.¡± Hu Jinsong casually waved his hand. ¡°That¡¯s still a luxury car!¡± Wang Hao exclaimed. ¡°Nah, that¡¯s not considered a luxury car.¡± Hu Jinsong waved his hands frantically and said, ¡°You don¡¯t know what kind of car was parked next to me! That Lamborghini Aventador is so awesome!¡± ¡°F*ck! A Lamborghini Aventador? We have this car in Jiangbei?¡± Shen Liang was shocked. ¡°Yeah, I didn¡¯t expect it either!¡± Hu Jinsong nodded. ¡°A Lamborghini Aventador would cost almost ten million yuan here! I wonder which godly tycoon it belongs to!¡± ¡°My BMW only has 252 horsepower! The Lamborghini has a V12 engine with 700 horsepower and an acceleration of 2.8 seconds for 100 kilometers per hour. It¡¯ll definitely feel like you¡¯re flying!¡± The more Hu Jinsong spoke, the more excited he became, and his entire body began to shake. Following that, Hu Jinsong¡¯s eyes swept across the room. When he saw Qin Yuxuan, who was like a fairy, his eyes lit up. ¡°Beauty Qin, I didn¡¯t expect you to attend the class reunion today. I haven¡¯t seen you for a few years, and you¡¯ve become more and more beautiful!¡± However, Qin Yuxuan only smiled politely and did not say anything more to him. Hu Jinsong could not help but feel a little embarrassed. Then, he turned to look at Yang Wenshu, who had heavy makeup on, and her husband. ¡°Beauty Yang, President Du! I didn¡¯t expect you two to be here! Today is a good occasion! I¡¯ll give you a toast.¡± Hu Jinsong raised his wine glass and called out. ¡°Hu Jinsong, you know Yang Wenshu¡¯s husband?¡± asked Wang Haoqi. ¡°Of course! President Du is a famous big shot! It¡¯s all thanks to President Du that I could get my BMW 5 Series! Do you know what kind of car President Du is driving? A Porsche Cayenne!¡± Hu Jinsong said. ¡°Amazing! He¡¯s actually driving a Porsche. That¡¯s a super luxury car!¡± Wang Haoqi exclaimed. ¡°It¡¯s just a Porsche. It¡¯s not as good as that Lamborghini,¡± Du Lei, who had a beer belly, said with a smile. ¡°Rich people nowadays aren¡¯t interested in cars much. They¡¯re more interested in watches instead.¡± As Du Lei spoke, he revealed the gold-colored Rolex on his wrist. ¡°Rolex!¡± Hu Jinsong exclaimed, ¡°You even have a Rolex! Yes, the poor are interested in cars, and the rich are interested in watches! President Du, you¡¯re indeed worthy of your reputation!¡± ¡°A Rolex? Furthermore, it¡¯s golden in color. It¡¯s obvious that it¡¯s expensive,¡± someone said in a low voice. Du Lei said proudly, ¡°It¡¯s not that expensive. It¡¯s just an ordinary Rolex, hehe.¡± Hu Jinsong gave him a thumbs up. ¡°President Du is rich, and Yang Wenshu is beautiful. You two are a perfect match! A match made in heaven!¡± ¡°Speaking of which, there used to be a guy called Lin Fan in our class. He used his pretty face to pester Yang Wenshu. Luckily, Yang Wenshu didn¡¯t accept his confession.¡± In order to please Yang Wenshu and Du Lei, Hu Jinsong twisted Yang Wenshu¡¯s failure in pursuing Lin Fan romantically into Lin Fan¡¯s persistent pursuit of Yang Wenshu. He was really good at twisting the truth. ¡°Of course, I didn¡¯t accept him!¡± Yang Wenshu said. ¡°What¡¯s the use of a pretty boy? I was destined to marry Du Lei.¡± As she spoke, Yang Wenshu waved the Gucci bag in her hand and threw Lin Fan a disdainful look. It was as if she was saying, ¡®Lin Fan, didn¡¯t you reject me back then? Now, in my eyes, you¡¯re just a poor loser!¡¯ Since they kept picking on him, Lin Fan decided to stop caring about their relationship as classmates. Otherwise, others would think that he was a pushover. Lin Fan touched his chin and recalled, ¡°I was the one who pursued Yang Wenshu? Is that why she took the initiative to show me a certain part of her body? Oh, I think there are three moles on that part.¡± After hearing this, Du Lei¡¯s expression transformed into a twisted one. Three moles? It was Yang Wenshu¡¯s most private part! Yang Wenshu actually took the initiative to show it to Lin Fan? Back then, Du Lei married Yang Wenshu because she was innocent and adorable. Now, it seemed that she was not innocent at all. She was simply a whore! ¡°Honey, don¡¯t listen to his nonsense!¡± Yang Wenshu quickly said. ¡°Hmph!¡± Du Lei only gave a muffled groan and ignored her. At this moment, Hu Jinsong seemed to have just noticed Lin Fan¡¯s arrival. He said, ¡± Lin Fan, you¡¯re here too? Yang Wenshu was the most beautiful girl in our class. It¡¯s not a big deal that you liked her. Who in our class didn¡¯t like her? ¡°We¡¯re just talking about some trivial matters that took place in high school. You don¡¯t have to be angry over this, right?¡± He was obviously trying to say that Lin Fan was making up nonsense and being petty. ¡°Then, I¡¯ll talk about the trivial things that happened in high school,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Everyone, do you still remember the school¡¯s dormitory manager, Aunty Wang? When Hu Jinsong was in his second year of high school, he got together with her for quite a long time. By the way, are you two still together?¡± Whoosh! As soon as these words came out, everyone¡¯s eyes fell on Hu Jinsong with incomparable shock. The dormitory manager, Aunty Wang, was almost 40 years old. She was short and fat, and it was said that she had never been in love. In fact, in private, many people called her an ¡®old virgin¡¯. Hu Jinsong and a woman like that were together for a period of time? Did he have such weird preferences? At this moment, one of Hu Jinsong¡¯s high school dormitory mates suddenly recalled that he used to play games with Hu Jinsong in an internet cafe until midnight. Despite it being past curfew, Hu Jinsong would bring him along and swagger into the dormitory. At that time, he was glad that the dormitory manager, Aunty Wang, had forgotten to close the door. From the looks of it now, it was not that Aunty Wang had forgotten to close the door but that she had deliberately left the door open for Hu Jinsong! Hu Jinsong¡¯s face flushed red as he shouted, ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re talking nonsense!¡± When the crowd saw his expression, they immediately understood. All of this was probably true. Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At this moment, the atmosphere in the private room was tense. Someone stood up and tried to smooth things over. ¡°It hasn¡¯t been easy for us to meet up. Come, let¡¯s have a drink!¡± ¡°Yes, yes! Let¡¯s have a drink!¡± Thus, everyone stood up, raised their glasses, and drank to their heart¡¯s content. The atmosphere in the private room eased a little after drinking. The people there began to chat with each other, and they occasionally laughed. It had to be said that Hu Jinsong did indeed have good communication skills. Soon, he became the focus of the room. Hu Jinsong shot a glance at Lin Fan, who was sitting in a corner without saying a word. ¡°Lin Fan, why aren¡¯t you saying anything?¡± he asked. Hu Jinsong¡¯s tone was extremely relaxed and indifferent. It was as if he had already forgotten that Lin Fan had exposed his scandal with Aunty Wang in public. After a pause, he continued, ¡°Oh, right. Lin Fan, when you finished high school, you went straight to work. You must have earned quite a bit, right? What kind of car did you buy?¡± ¡°Lin Fan¡¯s salary is only a few thousand yuan. Why would he buy a car? I don¡¯t think he¡¯s even able to take care of himself.¡± Wang Haoqi sneered. In high school, Lin Fan was tall and handsome. Furthermore, he was especially good at his studies. He could be said to be an influential person in his class. As a result, many girls in the class were in love with him. Wang Haoqi was very jealous of this. Now that he saw Lin Fan in such a bad state, he took the opportunity to mock him. He felt like a nobleman stepping on a beggar. ¡°What? His salary is only a few thousand yuan?¡± Hu Jinsong said, feigning surprise. Lin Fan did not care about any of this. How childish! In his opinion, all of this was too childish! However, even if he ignored them, it did not mean that they would let him off. ¡°Huh?¡± Hu Jinsong was surprised. ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re wearing a watch too? It looks pretty good! Come and let us admire it!¡± Lin Fan said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s just a watch. There¡¯s nothing to admire.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say that. We¡¯re all classmates here. We¡¯re just finding a topic to talk about!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we won¡¯t break it. Even if I break it, I promise to give you a new one,¡± Hu Jinsong said. ¡°Yeah, we¡¯re just going to be looking at it,¡± Wang Haoqi said. Shen Liang seemed to be curious and advised, ¡°Lin Fan, why don¡¯t you show it to everyone?¡± Lin Fan¡¯s impression of Shen Liang was not bad. Seeing that he chimed in, Lin Fan placed the Vacheron Constantin Tour de L¡¯Ile on the table. Hu Jinsong tossed it back and forth between his two hands a few times before saying, ¡°It has some weight.¡± ¡°What brand is this?¡± Wang Haoqi asked. ¡°It looks alright!¡± ¡°My friend, Qiao Bo, is a watch expert. Just send it to him and he¡¯ll know.¡± Hu Jinsong did not even bother to ask Lin Fan for his permission. He immediately took a photo of it and sent it to his friend. He wanted to show off his strong connections and mock Lin Fan. Unfortunately, Qiao Bo did not reply immediately. ¡°Let¡¯s wait for a while,¡± Hu Jinsong said. ¡°He might be busy.¡± When Shen Liang first saw the Vacheron Constantin Tour de L¡¯Ile, he was stunned and could not help but ask, ¡°Lin Fan, how much did you buy this watch for?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t spend any money,¡± Lin Fan said. He was not spouting nonsense. This was because he had gotten the watch from a red packet. ¡°You didn¡¯t spend any money? Lin Fan, don¡¯t tell me that this watch is a free gift from when you bought something?¡± Wang Haoqi laughed. ¡°So, it¡¯s a gift?¡± Hu Jinsong asked. ¡°Lin Fan, you should¡¯ve said so earlier! I shouldn¡¯t have taken a photo of it and sent it to my friend. Usually, those free gifts are high-quality imitations or counterfeits. ¡°My friend hates fake goods the most. When he sees the photo later, he¡¯ll be furious.¡± After Hu Jinsong finished speaking, he directly threw the watch onto the table. He looked as if he would dirty his hands if he held the watch any longer. Following that, Hu Jinsong used a lecturing tone and said, ¡°Lin Fan, I don¡¯t mean to criticize, but we¡¯re all old classmates here. There¡¯s no point in putting on a show by using a watch. ¡°Just ask our classmates. Who would use counterfeit goods to act?¡± In fact, some of the people present had bought counterfeit goods in private. However, they would never admit it. They had to keep their dignity! If they admitted it, would they not be revealing the fact that they were not doing well and could only afford fake goods? Therefore, everyone there shook their heads. ¡°The quality of counterfeit goods is much worse than the real ones.¡± ¡°I never use fake goods.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t have enough money, just buy something slightly inferior. Why buy counterfeit goods?¡± Yang Wenshu waved her Gucci bag and said, ¡°Those who use fake goods are all poor losers! My husband never buys fake goods for me.¡± Yang Wenshu hugged Du Lei¡¯s arm and rubbed it up and down. Feeling the softness on his arm, Du Lei¡¯s anger gradually dissipated. ¡­ Lin Fan listened to everyone¡¯s words. They were like countless flies buzzing around. He was finally a little angry and shouted, ¡°As long as I like it, it¡¯s none of your business.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he took the Vacheron Constantin Tour de L¡¯Ile back and put it on his wrist again. Instantly, the expressions of everyone in the private room darkened even more. Lin Fan had just scolded them! Shen Liang thought that if he had not asked Lin Fan to take off his watch, this would not have happened. ¡°Everyone¡¯s almost done eating,¡± he said. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the karaoke shop to sing some songs.¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± All the students agreed. ¡°I won¡¯t be going,¡± Lin Fan said. The main reason why Lin Fan was attending this class reunion was that he wanted to meet a few of his good friends from high school. Unfortunately, they did not come. Lin Fan was already giving face to his classmates by staying long enough for this meal. Naturally, he would not follow them to sing. ¡°I have something to do later,¡± Qin Yuxuan said as well. ¡°I won¡¯t be going to sing with you all. Have a good time.¡± Many people were happy to know that Lin Fan was not joining them. However, the beauty, Qin Yuxuan, was not going as well. They were sad to hear this. Therefore, many people tried to stop her. In response, Qin Yuxuan rejected all of them, saying that she had something to do at home. ¡°Do you need me to send you back?¡± Lin Fan asked casually. ¡°Then, I¡¯ll have to thank you for going through the trouble,¡± Qin Yuxuan said with a smile. Lin Fan was stunned. In fact, he had only asked casually. He did not expect Qin Yuxuan to really agree. However, since he had already asked her, he could not go back on his words, right? Thus, the two of them walked to the parking lot together. This scene was seen by all. ¡°Is there something going on between the two of them?¡± ¡°How could Qin Yuxuan be interested in him?¡± ¡°They¡¯re heading to the parking lot. Lin Fan doesn¡¯t have a car, right? ¡± ¡°A taxi just entered the parking lot. He¡¯s probably taking that, right?¡± Wang Haoqi said. As soon as he said that, all the students¡¯ faces were filled with disdain. In their opinion, one should use a luxury car to send a beauty like Qin Yuxuan home! A taxi? It was simply embarrassing. ¡°My husband drives me home in a Mercedes-Benz or BMW,¡± Yang Wenshu sneered. ¡°A taxi? Lin Fan is really shameless!¡± Hu Jinsong looked at Lin Fan¡¯s and Qin Yuxuan¡¯s backs as they walked away and said, ¡°My BMW 5 Series is also in that direction.¡± ¡°Hu Jinsong, I think you should send Qin Yuxuan home,¡± Wang Haoqi said. Although Wang Haoqi was also fascinated by Qin Yuxuan¡¯s beauty, heonly had a Corolla that cost 100,000 yuan, so it was not appropriate for him to bring up the matter of giving Qin Yuxuan a ride. Wang Haoqi hated Lin Fan. He would rather have Hu Jinsong send Qin Yuxuan back than give Lin Fan the slightest chance. ¡°Yeah, we can¡¯t let Beauty Qin take a taxi home. Otherwise, her family will think that we¡¯re mistreating her.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Everyone agreed. Hu Jinsong¡¯s heart leaped with joy. He had been drooling over Qin Yuxuan for a long time. If he could use the matter of sending her home to get closer to her, or if something happened between them¡­ Thinking up to this point, Hu Jinsong¡¯s heart burned with passion. He swallowed his saliva and said, ¡°But what about our karaoke session?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll book a private room and wait for you!¡± Wang Haoqi said. ¡°This¡­ won¡¯t be appropriate, right?¡± Hu Jinsong pretended to be put in a difficult position. Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation While everyone was chatting, Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan continued to walk forward unhurriedly. Someone in the crowd then pointed to a place not far away and exclaimed, ¡°Guys, look! There¡¯s a supercar over there!¡± ¡°What a cool sports car!¡± ¡°It looks like a Lamborghini!¡± Everyone gasped in admiration. ¡°That¡¯s the Lamborghini I told you about,¡± Hu Jinsong said. ¡°My BMW is just next to it.¡± ¡°Huh? Why is Lin Fan walking toward the Lamborghini?¡± someone asked. ¡°I think Lin Fan wants to take some photos,¡± Wang Haoqi said. ¡°Take photos? Why is he doing something so embarrassing? Qin Yuxuan is right beside him,¡± someone else said. ¡°Lin Fan won¡¯t just take photos.¡± Yang Wenshu sneered. ¡°Maybe he¡¯ll even go over and touch it. In the future, he¡¯ll tell others that he once touched a Lamborghini! ¡°Just like how he used to pursue after me shamelessly. I don¡¯t know where he heard some private information about me, but he actually dared to talk nonsense and say that I was the one pursuing him!¡± Hearing this, Du Lei¡¯s expression became even calmer. He patted Yang Wenshu¡¯s waist and said, ¡°Wenshu, I don¡¯t believe his nonsense.¡± ¡°Look, Lin Fan is really walking to the side of the Lamborghini,¡± someone said. ¡°It¡¯s more than that! He¡¯s touching the door handle!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see what he¡¯ll do when the car owner sees him!¡± At this point, everyone¡¯s faces were full of ridicule. At the same time, they looked around, hoping that the car owner would appear soon. Hu Jinsong stopped in his tracks. He wanted to see this scene as well. However¡­ In the next moment, everyone¡¯s faces froze. It was because¡­ Lin Fan opened the car door of the Lamborghini and got in with Qin Yuxuan. In the end, the Lamborghini let out a deep roar and quickly disappeared from the parking lot. Silence! The entire place was silent! Everyone was dumbstruck. Lin Fan actually drove the Lamborghini? That car was his? Did he not only earn a few thousand yuan a month? What was going on? Wang Haoqi laughed coldly. ¡°Lin Fan is such a hypocrite. He actually rented a car to attend the class reunion. This must have cost him a month or two of his salary, right? ¡°He wanted to look well off for the class reunion!¡± As soon as he said that, a look of realization appeared on everyone¡¯s faces. That¡¯s right! He rented that Lamborghini! Lin Fan came from a very average family. He could not afford a Lamborghini at all! At the thought of this, the contemptuous look on everyone¡¯s faces became even more intense. Ring, ring, ring! At this moment, Hu Jinsong¡¯s phone started ringing. ¡°Hu Jinsong, where did the photo of the watch you just sent me come from?¡± Qiao Bo¡¯s muffled voice sounded from the other end. ¡°Oh, that watch?¡± Hu Jinsong laughed. ¡°It¡¯s my old classmate¡¯s watch.¡± Speaking up to this point, Hu Jinsong immediately turned on the speaker. He wanted to show off his connections to his classmates. At the same time, he wanted to use more evidence to prove that Lin Fan¡¯s Lamborghini was a rented one. After all, it was impossible for a person who wore an imitation watch to own a Lamborghini! ¡°F*ck! You¡¯re awesome!¡± Qiao Bo¡¯s voice on the phone immediately became extremely excited. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Hu Jinsong asked, puzzled. ¡°That watch is Vacheron Constantin Tour de L¡¯Ile, and there are only seven of them in the world! Now, the price of each one is at least ten million! Moreover, there¡¯s demand but no supply! ¡°Your classmate is so awesome! He actually owns this watch!¡± Qiao Bo¡¯s voice became more and more excited over the phone. Silence! The entire venue was in silence once again! A watch worth tens of millions! Everyone¡¯s breathing stopped! One could rent a Lamborghini. However, there were only seven of those watches in the world, and each one was worth tens of millions. It was absolutely impossible to rent it! The only answer was that the watch and the Lamborghini both belonged to Lin Fan! Lin Fan was the living embodiment of the God of Wealth! He was not pretending at all! Everyone looked in the direction that the Lamborghini had left with complicated expressions and different thoughts. Among them, Yang Wenshu and Hu Jinsong had the most complicated feelings. Yang Wenshu was filled with regret. If she had been a little braver in high school, she might have been able to become Lin Fan¡¯s girlfriend. She would have married into a rich family! Hu Jinsong was still in a state of shock. He recalled how he had casually juggled the Vacheron Constantin Tour de L¡¯Ile earlier, and his little heart trembled in fear. It would have been a nightmare if he accidentally damaged the Vacheron Constantin Tour de L¡¯Ile! ¡­ Qin Yuxuan, who was sitting in the Lamborghini, looked around curiously. ¡°Lamborghini Aventador,¡± she said with a sweet smile. ¡°It¡¯s worth ten million yuanin the country. I¡¯ve never sat in such an expensive car before. ¡°My dear classmate, you¡¯ve really spoiled me today. Thanks.¡± ¡°This isn¡¯t the most expensive car you¡¯ve ever taken. After all, any subway would cost a few hundred million,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°That seems to be the case!¡± Qin Yuxuan laughed. Instantly, her impression of Lin Fan improved. He kept a low profile but had an interesting personality, which was really rare. Then, Qin Yuxuan started to observe Lin Fan even more closely. He had a strong body, was fit, and was fashionable too. Qin Yuxuan could not help but compare him to when he was in high school. The impression she had of Lin Fan back in high school was that he was a young and handsome man. The current Lin Fan had a mature manliness on top of his good looks. Qin Yuxuan seemed to have realized that she had been staring at Lin Fan for too long and that it was a little rude. Her face turned red. ¡°Lin Fan, what are you planning to do later?¡± ¡°After sending you home, I¡¯m going back to the hotel to sleep,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°You¡¯re staying in a hotel?¡± Qin Yuxuan asked. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m temporarily staying in a hotel,¡± Lin Fan said. Qin Yuxuan thought for a moment and said, ¡°It¡¯s late in the night now. Why don¡¯t we go for supper?¡± I know a good place!¡± Lin Fan could not help but look at Qin Yuxuan with a strange look. Supper? Did she not say that she had something to do at home later? Qin Yuxuan seemed to have thought of this as well, and her face, which had just returned to normal, blushed again. At the restaurant earlier, Lin Fan was practically left alone in a corner. No one talked to him at all. Therefore, Lin Fan was eating non-stop. At this moment, his stomach was already slightly bulging. However, it would be a little boring to go back to the hotel directly. ¡°Alright, you can point me in the right direction,¡± he replied. ¡°Alright!¡± Qin Yuxuan said happily. Before long, they arrived at a restaurant, Miss. Miss was a restaurant located on the riverbank. It was really nice to be able to sit inside and enjoy the scenery of the river while eating delicious food. Lin Fan ordered some skewers, scallops, and buns. ¡°How¡¯s your alcohol tolerance?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°I can drink a little,¡± Qin Yuxuan said. ¡°Then, I¡¯ll have a bottle of Ace of Spades.¡± Lin Fan nodded. The waiter¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. Ace of Spades cost 8,888 yuan per bottle. It was the most expensive alcohol in the shop! Just by selling this bottle of alcohol, the waiter would be able to get a hefty commission. While waiting for the food, Lin Fan secretly observed Qin Yuxuan. Even though it had been years since they graduated, time had not left any traces on her face. She was still as quiet and pleasant as before, and her figure had improved over the years. Overall, 95 points! Very quickly, the alcohol and food were served. Lin Fan swirled the clear alcohol in the glass, then slowly poured it into his mouth. His every move was very simple. However, they were all so elegant. It was as though Lin Fan was not drinking alcohol at all. Instead, he was like a world-class pianist who was playing a beautiful tune on stage. It was so fascinating. Qin Yuxuan, who was sitting across from him, was a little dazed. The drinking gentleman had endless charm! Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Clink! When Lin Fan placed the glass on the table, it rang clear and crisp. Qin Yuxuan quickly looked away. Although Qin Yuxuan had not started drinking yet, her pretty face was already completely flushed. Qin Yuxuan took a big gulp of wine as if to cover it up. Lin Fan commented, ¡°It¡¯s rich and refreshing. At the same time, it has a special fruity fragrance. It¡¯s not bad. This Ace of Spades is authentic.¡± He had heard that many places often used fake alcohol to trick people to make money. Lin Fan poured himself another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that the fruity fragrance is coming off a little strong and the smell of alcohol is too light. In comparison, Louis XIII tastes a little better. Hmm, I¡¯ll have a bottle of Louis XIII,¡± Lin Fan said. It was obvious that after tasting the Ace of Spades, Lin Fan¡¯s alcohol addiction had been triggered. ¡°We don¡¯t have Louis XIII here,¡± the waiter said apologetically. ¡°If you want, I can help you get it from other stores.¡± ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll give you 50,000 yuan. Take the extra as a tip. However, I have a request. It must be authentic,¡± Lin Fan said. The waiter almost jumped up in excitement. A bottle of Louis XIII only costs about 30,000. 50,000! He could get a tip of more than 10,000 yuan! This was already equivalent to a few months of his salary! The waiter immediately patted his chest and promised, ¡°Sir, don¡¯t worry. I know the owner of that shop. I can guarantee that it¡¯s authentic! Lin Fan nodded and transferred 50,000 yuan to the waiter. If it was someone else who was ordering a bottle of alcohol that cost tens of thousands of yuan, Qin Yuxuan would definitely think that he was showing off his wealth. She would feel repulsed. However, Lin Fan¡¯s gentlemanly actions when he drank and his clear eyes when he bought the alcohol made Qin Yuxuan think he was not showing off his wealth. It was pure love and appreciation for wine. [Skill: Drinking Gentleman¡ªunlimited charm!] Not long after, the panting waiter placed a beautifully packaged bottle of Louis XIII on the table. ¡°Sir, your drink!¡± the waiter said excitedly. With a soft thud, the bottle cap fell to the ground. He slowly poured some of the light red cognac into the glass. Lin Fan first sniffed it, then poured it into his mouth. ¡°Great job. It¡¯s authentic!¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Thank you for the compliment, sir,¡± the waiter said happily. It would have been normal for the waiter to want to stay by Lin Fan¡¯s side all the time now. That way, he would be sure to get more benefits. However, the waiter glanced at Qin Yuxuan, who was sitting opposite Lin Fan. He understood what he should do and said, ¡°If you need anything else, just call me over.¡± Looking at how Lin Fan was enjoying himself, Qin Yuxuan followed suit and tried a mouthful of Louis XIII. However, she choked and coughed. ¡°Are you alright? Louis XIII is nice, but it¡¯s too strong. Ace of Spades is more suitable for women.¡± Qin Yuxuan took a bite of the skewers and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m fine¡­¡± At the start, Lin Fan did not eat much and only drank a few glasses of alcohol. However, as time passed, the food in his stomach was gradually digested. Therefore, he also started eating. The two of them looked at each other as they reminisced about their time in high school. They talked and laughed in a relaxed manner. Qin Yuxuan had only drunk three small glasses of wine, but when she left Miss, her face was as red as a ripe apple. On the other hand, Lin Fan did not show much of a reaction. It was as if he had only drunk two bottles of water. Qin Yuxuan stood at the entrance of Miss, looking at the river view in the distance. She sighed satisfiedly, ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful!¡± Lin Fan pointed to a place not far away. ¡°We can only see a small part of the river from here. When we get to the hill, not only will we be able to see the entire river, but we can also see the entire Jiangbei City.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s hurry over!¡± Qin Yuxuan said excitedly. Lin Fan nodded his head and walked forward. Standing on the hillside, one could see the flowing Milky Way above both sides of the river. The stars north of the river were shining like bright flames in the sky. Qin Yuxuan¡¯s beautiful black eyes flickered as she exclaimed, ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful!¡± Pitter patter! At this moment, the sound of water came from behind them. Then, four men with dyed hair who were reeking of alcohol walked out of the shadows while still zipping up their pants. ¡°Hey, there¡¯s a pretty girl here.¡± ¡°Hey, pretty lady, do you wanna hang out with us?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll make you happy.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± The four of them looked at Qin Yuxuan¡¯s sweet face and perfect figure. Under the influence of alcohol, they were like hungry wolves, their eyes full of desire. Qin Yuxuan looked at the four guys who were getting closer and closer, and her expression darkened. The scenery here was beautiful, but the surroundings were a little deserted, and there were no surveillance cameras at all. Moreover, it did not seem like she could afford to offend these four people either. Furthermore, they had been drinking. Qin Yuxuan¡¯s face was covered in sweat. Lin Fan hissed coldly, ¡°Get lost before I get angry!¡± This sentence did not scare the four of them away. ¡°Pretty lady, this is your man, right? I can tell that he¡¯s a softie. I don¡¯t think he has ever satisfied you. Today, we¡¯ll give you a good time!¡± The red-haired man laughed, revealing two rows of yellow teeth. ¡°That¡¯s right! Let¡¯s have a good time!¡± The other three laughed along. As the four of them spoke, they continued to move forward. ¡°Qin Yuxuan, stand back a little,¡± Lin Fan said. After saying that, Lin Fan unhurriedly rolled up his sleeves. The next moment, he took a step forward. A fierce and swift fist landed on the red-haired thug¡¯s face. Thud! The terrifying force sent the redhead flying to the ground. However, Lin Fan did not stop there. Thud! Thud! Then, he threw punch after punch at the red-haired man¡¯s face like a storm. The red-haired man¡¯s nose was broken, his teeth had fallen out, and his face became a bloody mess. He passed out. Only then did Lin Fan stand up and punch the green-haired man¡¯s chest. Crack! The ribs in the man¡¯s chest were broken. Crack! Crack! Lin Fan continued swinging his fists and broke more than ten ribs, sending the man to the ground like a slop. The other two people were scared out of their wits, and they turned to run. However, Lin Fan jumped out like a leopard and broke one of their arms and another one¡¯s legs. The whole process was extremely cruel and bloody! Qin Yuxuan hated violence, but she did not take her eyes off Lin Fan¡¯s every move. It was as if Lin Fan was not resorting to violence at all. Instead, he was performing a beautiful dance that would captivate anyone. [Skill: Violent Aesthetics¡ªtrue manliness!] He was low-key, introverted, humorous, fashionable, gentlemanly when drinking, and even beautiful when fighting! At long last, Qin Yuxuan fell head over heels for him. [Ding! Charm aura, triggered unforgettable memory!] The next moment, Qin Yuxuan could not help but jump into Lin fan¡¯s arms. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ?(¡¥¦ê¡¥?) ¡­ Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The next day, the sun was high in the sky. Cars were coming and going on the road, making it very lively. In the presidential suite of Hilton Hotel¡­ Qin Yuxuan was like a docile kitten, curled up on the big white bed. After a long time, her long eyelashes finally fluttered and she slowly opened her eyes. Qin Yuxuan looked around and recalled the scene from last night. She quickly covered her delicate body with the bed sheet stained with some red. At that moment, Lin Fan walked in slowly with a bowl of vegetable and lean meat porridge in his hands. Qin Yuxuan wanted to get out of bed, but the pain in her lower abdomen prevented her from doing so. Lin Fan hurriedly said, ¡°Yuxuan, don¡¯t get up. It was tough on you last night. Get some more rest.¡± Qin Yuxuan¡¯s pretty face immediately blushed when he said that. ¡°I¡¯ll feed you the porridge,¡± Lin Fan walked to the bed and said. ¡°I want to brush my teeth first. Can you go out for a while? I can get up now,¡± Qin Yuxuan said while blushing. ¡°Do you need my help?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°No need, no need,¡± Qin Yuxuan said. Lin Fan did not force her. He nodded and walked out of the room. When he arrived in the living room, it was exactly 12 o¡¯clock. His phone vibrated, and a red packet appeared. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a 10x spending return card.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 29,999.] [Ding! Congratulations, you have received two yuan.] It was now 12:01 p.m. [Prompt: there are still 23 hours and 59 minutes until the next red packet.] [Note: for every 10,000 yuan you spend, you can immediately receive a red packet.] Lin Fan pouted. ¡°I spent tens of thousands of dollars yesterday and all I got was cash. Today¡¯s red packets are all cash again.¡± If other people knew what Lin Fan said, who knew what they would think? One had to know that he had drawn tens of thousands of cash yesterday. Today, he received tens of thousands of cash and a 10x spending return card! However, Lin Fan despised it? Lin Fan then turned his attention to the system. [Name: Lin Fan] [Level: LV3] [Level 3 reward: five yuan for every breath; five yuan for every second of sleep, and five yuan for every step taken. Rewards are distributed at 12 a.m. daily.] [Upgrade cost: 350000/1 million (not including gifts and gambling. In addition, all items obtained from the system are prohibited from being traded.] [Charm: 92 (closely related to appearance, clothing, and mental state).] [Skills: Professional Driving Skills, Charming Aura (5% chance to trigger love at first sight and unforgettable love), Violent Aesthetics, Drinking Gentleman.] [Funds: 1.38 million (all funds come from reasonable and legal sources. There is no need to worry about direct use).] About an hour later, Qin Yuxuan finally got dressed and walked out of the room. Compared to yesterday, she was surrounded in a uniquely feminine aura today. Qin Yuxuan pounced into Lin Fan¡¯s arms. Her body trembled slightly as tears flowed down her face like a clear spring. ¡°Yuxuan, why are you crying? Who made you angry?¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°No, it¡¯s not that¡­ I¡¯m not crying. I¡¯m just happy.¡± Qin Yuxuan wiped away the tears on her face. Back in high school, Qin Yuxuan had already developed a good impression of Lin Fan. Now, Lin Fan had become her man¡­ It was perfect. Lin Fan caressed Qin Yuxuan¡¯s slim waist and said, ¡°Yuxuan, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll always take care of you.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Qin Yuxuan nodded. The two of them coaxed each other for a while, then they had lunch together. ¡°Lin Fan, I¡¯m going to Modu City later,¡± Qin Yuxuan said. ¡°So fast?¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°It took me a lot of effort to join my supervisor¡¯s project. Tomorrow, the project will officially begin. I want to work hard to achieve something!¡± Qin Yuxuan answered in all earnesty. With Lin Fan¡¯s current abilities, he could easily provide Qin Yuxuan with the best life. However, Lin Fan knew very well that Qin Yuxuan was a strong and ambitious woman. If she was like a canary that got locked in a gorgeous cage and fed well, she would not be happy at all. Lin Fan said, ¡°But what about your body?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m fine.¡± Qin Yuxuan said with a smile. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll send you to Modu City later,¡± Lin Fan said. Qin Yuxuan had already bought an economy-class ticket to Modu City. According to her, the flight would not take more than an hour to reach Modu City, so it did not matter which cabin they took. However, Lin Fan still insisted on changing the tickets to first class. Just like that, Qin Yuxuan fell asleep on the spacious first-class seat. When Qin Yuxuan and Lin Fan walked out of the airport, it was already 5:30 p.m. A slightly puzzled voice suddenly rang out in the distance. ¡°Yuxuan?¡± ¡°Moli!¡± Qin Yuxuan turned around and asked in surprise. ¡°So it really is you, Yuxuan! We¡¯re totally besties. We even took the same flight at the same time,¡± Huang Moli said happily. ¡°Yeah, I didn¡¯t expect that either!¡± Qin Yuxuan said. Huang Moli seemed to have only just noticed Lin Fan, who was standing at the side. She asked, ¡°Who¡¯s this?¡± ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Yuxuan¡¯s boyfriend, Lin Fan.¡± Lin Fan took the initiative to introduce himself. ¡°Your boyfriend?¡± Huang Moli looked at Qin Yuxuan with a questioning gaze. Qin Yuxuan held onto Lin Fan¡¯s arm and introduced, ¡°Lin Fan, this is my roommate, Huang Moli.¡± When Huang Moli heard that, she could not help but size Lin Fan up. She said, ¡°You¡¯re quite handsome! However, our Yuxuan is the famous campus belle of Moda University. Who knows how many handsome guys and young masters are pursuing her? ¡°Hurry up and tell me, how did you manage to trick Yuxuan into your hands?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t trick Yuxuan,¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°My sincerity moved her!¡± ¡°Not bad! However, I still have to test your sincerity toward her! Do you mind treating us roommates to dinner?¡± Huang Moli said with a cheeky smile. ¡°Of course not! However, it¡¯s my first time in Modu City, so I¡¯m not too familiar with it. So, I¡¯ll have to ask you guys to make the reservation,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°No problem!¡± Huang Moli said happily. Then, she took out her phone and sent a message to their other roommates. At the restaurant, Peninsula. Lin Fan and the other two had just sat down when an average-sized girl walked over and said, ¡°Zhang Jin has something on. She can¡¯t make it.¡± ¡°This is Wan Yuerou,¡± Qin Yuxuan introduced the girl to Lin Fan. ¡°This is my boyfriend, Lin Fan,¡± she said after a pause. Wan Yuerou said, ¡°Yuxuan, you got yourself a boyfriend without saying a word. I don¡¯t know how many guys at the university are going to cry.¡± ¡°By the way, how did you two meet?¡± ¡°We were high school classmates,¡± Qin Yuxuan said. ¡°Oh! No wonder you¡¯ve never fallen in love with someone else. It turns out that you already had someone in your heart all this while!¡± Wan Yuerou laughed. ¡°Lin Fan, our Yuxuan has been waiting for you for so many years. Don¡¯t let her down in the future!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely be good to Yuxuan forever,¡± Lin Fan said. They were all youngsters, so they chatted and laughed without being overly formal with each other. The food in this restaurant was very cheap. It cost 1,500 yuan in total for four people. Clearly, Huang Moli and Wan Yuerou was trying to do Lin Fan a favor. Ring, ring, ring! At this moment, Wan Yuerou¡¯s phone rang. After hanging up,Wan Yuerou said, ¡°My Cartier earrings have been fixed. The shop is just in front. Do you guys want to go together and take a look around?¡± ¡°Sure, I haven¡¯t gone shopping in a long time. Besides, it¡¯s still early!¡± Huang Moli said. Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan nodded, indicating that they were willing to come along. Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Guojin Center was beautifully decorated and fashionable. It was full of people and very lively. Lin Fan and the rest took the escalator and went straight to Cartier. ¡°Welcome to Cartier!¡± A sweet-looking employee stood at the entrance of the store and welcomed them politely. ¡°How may I help you?¡± the shop assistant asked. ¡°I¡¯m here to get my earrings,¡± Wan Yuerou said. As she spoke, Wan Yuerou took out a receipt. ¡°Alright, please wait a moment,¡± the shop assistant said. Then, she handed the receipt to the staff member standing in front of the cashier. Women were naturally attracted to jewelry. After Huang Moli entered Cartier, she started to look around. However, she did not dare to look at the big pieces of jewelry because the prices were too frightening. She only pointed at some small accessories and could not help but praise them. ¡°Woah! This bracelet is so pretty!¡± Huang Moli said. ¡°It¡¯s really beautiful!¡± Wan Yuerou said. ¡°This is a Cartier LOVE bracelet, ¡± the shop assistant introduced with a smile. ¡°It was designed by the famous designer, Hunter Buk. ¡°There are seven different styles of LOVE bracelets. They¡¯re like rainbows¡ªbright, colorful, and full of energy.¡± Huang Moli and Wan Yuerou were already extremely fond of the bracelet. After hearing the shop assistant¡¯s explanation, their eyes lit up. ¡°Seven different styles! Even if each of the four of us in the dormitory buys one, it¡¯d be completely different!¡± Wan Yuerou said excitedly. Then, the shop assistant pointed at an extremely gorgeous necklace displayed in the counter and said, ¡°Not long ago, Hunter Buk designed the Star of the Deep Sea. It¡¯s like a star hidden in the deep sea, mysterious and dazzling! ¡°Because of this Star of the Deep Sea, Hunter Buk has also won the love of countless people in international exhibitions!¡± Qin Yuxuan followed the shop assistant¡¯s finger, and her eyes lit up. It was obvious that she liked the necklace. ¡°Yuxuan, I¡¯ve never given you a present before. I¡¯ll give you this necklace, then,¡± Lin Fan said. When the shop assistant heard this, she hurriedly said, ¡°Sir, your taste is really great! This beautiful lady is just as mysterious, dazzling, and eye-catching in the crowd as the necklace. ¡°If she wears the Star of the Deep Sea, they would simply complement each other!¡± Qin Yuxuan shook her head and said, ¡°I just do research at the university every day. There¡¯s no need for me to wear this necklace.¡± This necklace must be very expensive. Qin Yuxuan did not think that Lin Fan could not afford it. However, she did not want Lin Fan to think that she was vain. The shop assistant sighed in her heart, ¡®Someone wants to give you such a beautiful necklace, yet you don¡¯t want it?¡¯ ¡°How much does this Star of the Deep Sea cost?¡± Huang Moli asked. ¡°The main body of the Star of the Deep Sea is made of two carats of blue diamond, which is the only one in the entire Modu City. And its price is 1.08 million,¡± the shop assistant said. ¡°It¡¯s that expensive?¡± Huang Moli asked in surprise. Although she had already expected the price of this necklace to be very expensive, she did not expect such an astronomical price. A necklace like that was enough to buy a luxury car. Wan Yuerou was also shocked by the price and asked, ¡°What about the LOVE bracelets?¡± ¡°The LOVE bracelets are 58,888 bucks each,¡± the shop assistant said. When Wan Yuerou and Huang Moli heard this price, their faces revealed a dejected look. 58,888 yuan! It was close to 60,000 yuan! They were only students now. Perhaps they could fork out this sum of money in the future. However, it was very difficult for them to do so now. Therefore, even though the two of them liked it, they had no choice but to give it up. At this moment, Wan Yuerou received her earrings. ¡°Miss, do you need me to help you wrap up your earrings?¡± the shop assistant asked with a smile. ¡°Yes, wrap them up,¡± Wan Yuerou said. Then, they continued to stroll around Guojin Center. Lin Fan found an opportunity to go to the washroom, but he actually returned to Cartier. The shop assistant recognized him at a glance and greeted him with a smile, ¡°Sir, what can I do for you?¡± ¡°I want the Star of the Deep Sea and four LOVE bracelets,¡± Lin Fan said. Four LOVE bracelets and one Star of the Deep Sea¡­ This was a big order of more than 1.3 million! The shop assistant¡¯s heart began to beat wildly. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wrap them up for you!¡± she said excitedly. Lin Fan waved his hand and said, ¡°No need. Just give them to me.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± she said. The shop assistant quickly responded, then took out a calculator and fiddled with it. ¡°The total is 1,315,552 yuan. I can give you a 10% discount¡­¡± ¡°No need, just take the discount as your tip,¡± Lin Fan said. Then, he took out his bank card. The shop assistant¡¯s service attitude was very good, and she was good at introducing the jewelry too. More importantly, she picked out a necklace that Qin Yuxuan liked. Therefore, she should be rewarded. The shop assistant¡¯s heart started to race again. The discount would be her tip! This was a deal worth more than 1.3 million yuan! Even at the very least, the discount would be more than 10,000! Now, all of that was hers? The shop assistant spent a lot of effort to suppress the excitement in her heart and said, ¡°Thank you, sir, thank you!¡± [Ding! You have spent 1,315,552 yuan. Do you want to use the 10x return card?] ¡®Yes!¡¯ Lin Fan muttered in his heart. [Ding! System upgrade: Level 4!] [Level 4 reward: 10 yuan for every breath; 10 yuan for every second of sleep; 10 yuan for every step taken. Rewards are distributed at 12 a.m. daily.] [Upgrade cost: 660000/10 million (not including gifts and gambling. In addition, all items obtained from the system are prohibited from being traded.] The guaranteed cash he received every day doubled again, reaching about 700,000 yuan. Then, his phone vibrated. [Notice from China Merchant Bank: 13,155,520 yuan has been deposited into your account.] He received 13.15 million yuan directly! After Lin Fan took the five pieces of jewelry, he returned to Qin Yuxuan¡¯s side as if nothing had happened. Women naturally loved to shop. However, the things in the Guojin Center were too expensive and far beyond their spending ability. The feeling of seeing something you like but not being able to pay for it and having no choice but to leave was too unbearable. Therefore, after walking around for a while, they suggested that they leave. ¡°Lin Fan, I might not be able to accompany you tonight. I have to go back to the dormitory to prepare some materials for tomorrow¡¯s project.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Okay, but don¡¯t tire yourself out. Take care of your health.¡± After sharing some sweet words, the two of them separated. ¡­ In the dormitory of Modu University¡­ ¡°Hurry up and tell me, how¡¯s Yuxuan¡¯s boyfriend?¡± Zhang Jin asked impatiently. ¡°One word¡ªhandsome!¡± Huang Moli said. ¡°Two words¡ªvery handsome!¡± Wan Yuerou said. ¡°It¡¯s all my supervisor¡¯s fault for suddenly working overtime today!¡± Zhang Jing said regretfully. ¡°I missed the chance to see a handsome guy!¡± Qin Yuxuan shook her head as she looked at her roommates¡¯ funny faces. Out of habit, she opened her bag and took out her phone. The next moment, Qin Yuxuan took out a bunch of accessories and asked, ¡°Why are these in my bag?¡± ¡°The LOVE bracelets!¡± Huang Moli cried out in surprise. ¡°And the Heart of the Deep Sea!¡± Wan Yuerou shouted. Huang Moli said, ¡°I know! Lin Fan must have bought them when he went to the washroom and secretly put them in your bag!¡± ¡°Heavens! He easily bought a million-yuan piece of jewelry and then secretly gave it away! Moreover, he¡¯s so handsome! Gosh¡­ He¡¯s the perfect man!¡± Wan Yuerou shouted. Huang Moli cried out, ¡°I finally understand now why Yuxuan rejected all those handsome guys and young masters in the university. If I had such a perfect Prince Charming, I¡¯d definitely treat those guys like too!¡± Wan Yuerou asked, ¡°Yuxuan, does your boyfriend have an older or younger brother? Please introduce me to them!¡± ¡°Me too, me too! I want to be introduced to them too!¡± Huang Moli said. ¡°Me too, please introduce me!¡± Zhang Jin said. Qin Yuxuan was amused by them and said, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that he only has one sister.¡± As soon as she said that, the three of them were extremely depressed. ¡°He doesn¡¯t have a brother, but you guys can have a bracelet,¡± Qin Yuxuan said. As she spoke, Qin Yuxuan took out three LOVE bracelets. ¡­ Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the presidential suite of Shangri-La. The colorful night scene was reflected in front of the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, like the stars in the night sky¡ªgorgeous and bright. Lin Fan finished the glass of XO in one gulp. Then, his gaze fell on his phone. [You¡¯ve spent 1.31 million yuan and received 131 red packets. Do you want to collect all of them?] Lin Fan had already received these red packets when he was at Guojin Center. However, he did not accept them immediately. That was because Lin Fan did not know what he would get. At this moment, he did not have so many scruples. ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 100 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 99 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve gained ¡®Professor-Level Mathematics Experience¡¯ (use excellent mathematical knowledge to solve difficult problems while showing a fascinating charm).] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the skill ¡®Absolute Focus,¡¯ and thus, the ability to easily answer difficult questions. There¡¯s a 5% chance of triggering a flash of inspiration. A focused and serious man is the most handsome!] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Jiangbei City¡¯s Qiankun building Office Block 1.] ¡­ Out of the 131 red packets, Lin Fan received a total of 500,000 yuan. Then, he focused on his Professor-Level Mathematics Experience and Absolute Focus. Professor-Level Mathematics Experience? ¡®If only I had this when I was in school. ¡®Absolute Focus? This one seems pretty good.¡¯ When Lin Fan raised his head, he saw a stack of property certificates on the coffee table in front of him. [Qiankun building, Level 1, A201. Area of 200 square meters. Property owner: Lin Fan.] [Qiankun building, Level 1, A202. Area of 150 square meters. Property owner: Lin Fan.] ¡­ Lin fan looked at these title deeds and revealed a strange expression. ¡°Qiankun building? Isn¡¯t this where I work?¡± Ring, ring, ring! At that moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang urgently. ¡°Lin Fan, why didn¡¯t you come to work today?¡± Ma Zhiyuan¡¯s voice came from the phone. Lin Fan then remembered that it was working hours today. ¡°Oh, I forgot to tell you that I¡¯m going to resign,¡± Lin Fan said. Even if the system had not appeared, Lin Fan had already thought of resigning. Now, the plan was brought forward. ¡°Quit?¡± Ma Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment. ¡°Alright, then if you have time, come over and carry out the handover process. Otherwise, the supervisor will probably cut your salary for last month.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll head over in two days,¡± Lin Fan said. Lin Fan naturally did not care about the salary. However, he had always been a person who would finish what he started. If he did not do the handover process, the person taking over his work would be in trouble. After he hung up, his phone vibrated. It was a WeChat photo from Qin Yuxuan. The photo was of her beautiful face, and the Heart of the Deep Sea was seen around her snow-white neck. Her whole person was faintly blooming with a brilliant light. Mysterious and beautiful! Qin Yuxuan: [I like it very much. Thank you.] Lin Fan: [There¡¯s no need to say thanks between us. It¡¯s good that you like it.] Qin Yuxuan: [The project will officially start tomorrow. I¡¯ll be quite busy for a while, so I might not be able to accompany you to go around Modu City.] Lin Fan replied: [It¡¯s okay, you do your thing. However, you have to balance work and rest.] Lin Fan: [This is perfect timing too. I¡¯ll probably have to return to Jiangbei tomorrow to settle some work matters. I¡¯ll come back to Modu City to hang out with you in the future.] Qin Yuxuan replied: [Okay.] ¡­ In Qiankun building, Jiangbei City. Chang Kui looked at the lease contract and muttered, ¡°It¡¯ll be up in two months. Let¡¯s go to Mr. Wang from the property management to renew the contract for next year. I hope the price won¡¯t rise by too much.¡± As he spoke, Chang Kui walked out of the office and went straight to the top floor of the Qiankun building. ¡°President Wang, long time no see! What are you busy with?¡± Chang Kui asked with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m sorting out some contracts and documents,¡± Wang Zhongde said. ¡°By the way, is there anything I can help you with, Director Chang?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t I have some tea with you, President Wang?¡± Chang Kui laughed. As he spoke, Chang Kui took out a jar of premium tea and said, ¡°This is premium tea that my friend brought from Wu Yi. However, I don¡¯t really drink tea, so I brought it here for you to try. Wang Zhongde was a tea lover, and his eyes lit up when he saw the premium tea. Chang Kui continued, ¡°By the way, our company¡¯s rent will be up in two months. Director Wang, do you think we should renew the contract?¡± Wang Zhongde said helplessly, ¡°Director Chang, you might have made a wasted trip today. Qiankun building has already been sold to someone else.¡± ¡°You sold it to someone else?¡± Chang Kui¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. It was no wonder he was so surprised. Qiankun building was located in the center of Jiangbei City where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. The estimated price of the entire Qiankun building was as high as one billion! Chang Kui did not dare to imagine what kind of person could take out such a large sum of money. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Wang Zhongde nodded and said, ¡°So, we can only discuss the renewal of the contract after the new boss comes.¡± ¡°Director Wang, is it convenient for you to tell me who bought Qiankun building?¡± Chang Kui asked. Wang Zhongde hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°You¡¯ll find out sooner or later anyway, so I¡¯ll tell you first.¡± As he spoke, Wang Zhongde took out a document from the drawer. Chang Kui quickly flipped through it and said in surprise, ¡°Lin Fan? The person who bought the building is so young?¡± ¡­ The next day. After sending a message to Qin Yuxuan, Lin Fan bought a first-class ticket and returned to Jiangbei City. It was already afternoon. Lin Fan did not choose to go to the company. Instead, he returned to the Hilton Hotel and prepared to hand over the work the next morning. When he walked into the lobby of the Hilton Hotel, he was attracted by the large posters. [International Mathematical Research and Discussion Conference Welcomes You] [Hu Chuan, Dean of the School of Mathematics of Jiangbei University. [Fang Zhengtang, Professor of the School of Mathematics at Hanzhong University.] [When 2^(2^n) < p < 2^(2^(n+1)), MP has 2^(n+1) -1 as a prime number.] Lin Fan did not pay much attention to the introductions of the people in front of him. However, when he saw the math problem at the back, he was interested. Lin Fan thought for a moment, then picked up the pen beside him and quickly wrote on the wide signature board. [¦ÐMp(22n)^¦ÐMp(22n-1)=2n^1¡­ (a)] [¦ÐMp(22n)=2n+1^n-1] ¡­ Thud, thud, thud. The entire lobby was filled with a series of rapid knocking sounds. At the start, Lin fan''s writing speed was still very fast. However, Zhou''s Conjecture was a world-class problem. Even with Lin Fan''s Professor-Level Mathematics Experience, he was soon stuck and his writing speed slowed down. It was like a rugged mountain road that was difficult to cross. However, Lin Fan loved to challenge difficulties and never gave up. He had been calculating silently. [Ding! Absolute Focus triggered a flash of inspiration.] Instantly, it was as if Lin Fan had grown a pair of wings. His initially slowed writing speed became even faster. Outside the Hilton Hotel. A few men and women in suits and leather shoes, who looked very refined and elegant, were walking forward. "The teachers, professors, and leaders of Jiang Zhong University, the University of Science and Technology, and Jiangbei University of Technology will all be attending the seminar. Have you prepared the venue and meals?" The dean of the School of Mathematics, Hu Chuan, asked. "President Hu, don''t worry. I''ve already prepared all of the logistics. I guarantee that this international mathematics conference will be a grand event," Huang Zihao said. "We all know that Dean Hu has taken a huge step forward in the research of Zhou''s Conjecture!" I believe that this seminar will definitely cause a sensation in the country or even the world! Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation They walked toward Hilton Hotel with smiles on their faces. In the next moment, everyone¡¯s footsteps suddenly stopped. That was because they found a young man quickly writing a series of calculations on the signature board in the hall. Seeing this, Huang Zihao¡¯s forehead broke out in a cold sweat. He was extremely flustered. He had just told Dean Hu Chuan that he would make this international mathematics conference a grand event. In the blink of an eye, the signature board had been scribbled on! How would Dean Hu Chuan¡¯s impression of him change? Thud, thud. At this time, two young people who looked like students walked over from the distance. When they saw Hu Chuan, Huang Zihao, and the others, they could not help but speed up. ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask you to decorate the venue?¡± Huang Zihao asked in a low voice. ¡°How did this person suddenly appear?¡± ¡°Our stomachs suddenly hurt a little just now, so we went to the bathroom,¡± the taller boy explained. ¡°Stomach pain? Hmph! Look at what the signature board has become!¡± Huang Zihao pointed to the front. The two students quickly looked in the direction of the signature board. ¡°Why would someone be writing an algorithm on this¡­¡± the tall boy said. ¡°Why would someone write an arithmetic formula on it? Quickly make him stop!¡± Huang Zihao scolded. The two students finally reacted and stepped forward. At this moment, Hu Chuan, who had been silent all this while, said, ¡°Don¡¯t disturb him!¡± Huang Zihao and his two students paused for a moment, their faces full of confusion. However, Hu Chuan did not explain much. He just stared at Lin Fan, who was writing calculations, with a burning gaze. Professor Song Guotao, who was standing next to him, could not help but look over as well. In the next moment, his pupils shrank slightly as he said in surprise, ¡°He¡¯s trying to solve Zhou¡¯s Conjecture?¡± ¡°Professor Song, do you think he can solve Zhou¡¯s Conjecture?¡± a young teacher, Hu Tian, asked. ¡°He¡¯s already solved it!¡± Hu Chuan said excitedly. At that moment, Lin Fan wrote down his final answer: [When 2^(2^n) < p < 2^(2^(n+1))), MP has 2^(n+1) -1 which is a prime number.] Click! Then, Lin Fan put down his pen and walked straight to the elevator. He was going to go back to his room to rest. He solved a math problem after a two-hour flight. He was a little tired. Hu Chuan quickly jogged after him. When he saw Lin Fan''s face, he could not hide the shock on his face. After that, she took the initiative to reach out his hand and said, "Hello, can I get a few minutes of your time? I''m Hu Chuan, the dean of the School of Mathematics at Jiangbei University." Earlier, Hu Chuan had guessed from Lin Fan''s back view that he would be relatively young. However, he did not expect him to be so young. He was probably younger than the two graduate students who set up the venue today. Respecting the old and cherishing the young was a traditional virtue of the country. Hu Chuan was already over 50 years old, yet he treated him politely. Lin Fan naturally responded politely. He reached out his hand and shook it. "Hello, I''m Lin Fan." "Mr. Lin, it''s hard to imagine that you''ve studied prime numbers to this extent at such a young age. You even solved Zhou''s Conjecture." Hu Chuan sighed with emotion. "I wonder which university you''re a professor at, Mr. Lin?" Hu Chuan asked tentatively. "I''m not a professor," Lin Fan said with a smile. When Hu Chuan heard this, not only was he not disappointed, but he was even more excited. "Mr. Lin, would you be interested in becoming a mathematics professor at Jiangbei University?" Hu Chuan said anxiously. Lin Fan was stunned for a moment. He had not expected Hu Chuan to make such an invitation. Hu Chuan saw Lin Fan''s hesitation and said, "Mr. Lin, don''t worry. Jiangbei University will definitely give you the best offer. "Also, if you have any other requests, you can tell us. We''ll try our best to satisfy you." "Director Hu, you misunderstood me," Lin Fan explained. "I can''t be a professor because I''m only a high school graduate." "This doesn''t affect anything," Hu Chuan quickly said. "With your mathematics ability, you don''t need a certificate to prove it!" To most people, education was indeed very important. However, he was a person who had studied prime numbers to this extent ¡­ Furthermore, the young man who directly solved Zhou''s Conjecture was obviously not an ordinary person. No one knew how great his future achievements would be. Now that Hu Chuan had finally encountered someone like him, he naturally had to make good use of the opportunity. Lin Fan could see the sincerity in Hu Chuan''s eyes. He was preparing to quit his job and did not know what he was going to do in the future. On top of that, Lin Fan was also looking forward to university life. At the thought of this, Lin Fan finally opened his mouth and said, "Let''s forget about me being a professor at Jiangbei University. However, if you let me study at Jiangbei University, I might be a little interested." The professor had to give lessons. It was troublesome just thinking about it. It was obvious that being a student was more to Lin Fan''s liking. He was relaxed, free, and unrestrained. When Hu Chuan heard the first half of Lin Fan''s sentence, his face was filled with regret. However, after hearing the second half of Lin Fan''s sentence, his old face was like a crumpled piece of paper. He smiled and said happily, "Alright, I''ll help you with the admission procedures later." In fact, even with Hu Chuan''s influence, it would be difficult for a high school graduate to become a mathematics professor at Jiangbei University. However, it would be much easier to recruit a special student. The two of them hit it off. Hu Chuan said, "By the way, Mr. Lin, the professors, and teachers of many universities in Jiang province will all come to the hotel to participate in the mathematics seminar. I wonder if you can come on stage and explain the prime number and Zhou''s Conjecture?" Lin Fan yawned. "Maybe not. I have to go back to my room to sleep. I won''t be joining." To an ordinary person, giving a speech in front of many deans and professors was definitely a very rare opportunity. However, Lin Fan would rather sleep a little more. Hu Chuan felt a little regretful, but he did not force Lin Fan. Lin Fan entered the presidential suite and took a hot shower. Then, he spent 100,000 yuan and asked the waiter to send up a seafood feast and a bottle of XO. [Ding! You''ve spent 100,000 yuan and received ten red packets. Do you want to collect all of them?] "Yes!" Lin Fan clicked ''confirm''. [Ding! Congratulations, you''ve received 19,999 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you''ve received 2,000 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you''ve received 10,000 yuan.] Lin Fan received a total of 112,500 yuan from the ten red packets. In other words, he had spent money on a big meal, but he earned back more than 100,000 yuan. Lin Fan looked at the text message from the bank, and his face revealed a strange expression. After eating and drinking to his heart''s content, Lin Fan lay down on the soft bed and fell asleep in satisfaction. Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The next day, a ray of warm sunlight shone through the window and landed on the bedside. Lin Fan opened his eyes in a daze and picked up his phone out of habit. An unread message from the bank had already appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,000,000 yuan has been deposited into your account.] Lin Fan got up, washed up, and went to the restaurant downstairs to have his breakfast. After that, he started the Lamborghini and sped toward Qiankun building. Along the way, it was inevitable that he would attract many people¡¯s sidelong glances. ¡­ On the seventh floor of Qiankun building, Flying Heart Limited. ¡°A silver-gray supercar just drove into the parking lot,¡± the sharp-faced Li Lanjuan said. ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s a pity that I didn¡¯t see the tycoon in the car.¡± Her tone was full of regret, and her face was full of reminiscence. It was as if she had missed out on a few hundred million bucks. ¡°But I think that tycoon must be a tall, handsome, and perfect man,¡± she added after a pause. The round-faced woman replied, ¡°I don¡¯t know what that tycoon looks like, but that supercar is really cool! He¡¯s so cool!¡± At this moment, Lin Fan walked over unhurriedly and said, ¡°It¡¯s just a car. It¡¯s not a big deal.¡± Li Lanjuan glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and said in disdain, ¡°Not a big deal? I¡¯m afraid you can¡¯t even afford the wheels of that supercar, yet you¡¯re still talking big.¡± After saying that, Li Lanjuan strode forward in her thumb-thick high heels. It was as though the longer she stayed around Lin Fan, the lower her status would be. Li Lanjuan used her face and body to act coy and have her colleagues help her with work. However, all of her tricks were completely useless in front of Lin Fan. This made Li Lanjuan extremely unhappy. In fact, she hated Lin Fan. Lin Fan was the kind of guy who would never do anything that he should not do. Moreover, Lin Lanyuan was a woman who had her face and body completely altered from head to toe. There was no way he would help her. ¡®I¡¯m not her father. Why should I?¡¯ Lin Fan walked into his office and immediately organized the documents. He handed them over to his colleagues. He turned around and was about to leave when he saw Li Lanjuan standing next to manager Xiong Guangping, who had a fierce-looking face. She was whispering something to him. Then, Xiong Guangping strode over and said, ¡°Lin fan, you want to resign?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan said casually. ¡°Let me take a look at the documents you handed over.¡± Xiong Guangping picked up the documents and casually flipped through them. ¡°What the hell are you handing over?¡± he shouted angrily. ¡°Hurry up and go back to tidy these documents up!¡± As he spoke, he threw the documents at Lin Fan. Lin Fan¡¯s eyes turned cold as he dodged to the side. Xiong Guangping saw that Lin Fan had dodged, and it was as if his dignity had been challenged. He picked up another document on the table and threw it at Lin Fan again. Lin Fan¡¯s body swayed as he dodged it successfully once more. This man had attacked him again and again. Did he really think that Lin Fan was a pushover? Lin Fan¡¯s face was cold. He picked up a glass cup and smashed it on Xiong Guangping¡¯s head. Bang! The glass shattered, and blood splattered. Xiong Guangping¡¯s sturdy body fell straight to the ground and curled up into a ball. He held his head and kept wailing. ¡°Ahh, my head is buzzing. ¡°It hurts so much¡­¡± The faint smell of blood slowly spread in the office. Xiong Guangping was still holding his bleeding head. It took him a lot of effort to get up. ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re so cowardly!¡± He was in the middle of scolding Lin Fan when he was frightened by the other¡¯s cold face. He changed his words. ¡°Y-You hit me!¡± ¡°Hit you? When did I ever hit you?¡± Lin Fan said calmly. As he spoke, he walked toward Xiong Guangping. Lin Fan¡¯s pace and speed were all extremely normal. However, Xiong Guangping was so scared that he stepped back and said in a panic, ¡°Don¡¯t come over¡­¡± At the same time, his eyes kept looking around the office for help. However, Xiong Guangping was domineering in the company and had no social relations at all. How could anyone be willing to help him? ¡°I¡¯m going to call the police if you keep doing this!¡± Xiong Guangping shouted in fear. However, it was as if Lin Fan did not hear him at all as he continued moving forward. Thud, thud, thud. At this moment, there was the sound of heavy footsteps outside. Then, Chang Kui, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, strode in. He looked at the chaotic office and frowned. ¡°What happened?¡± Lin Fan¡¯s actions earlier had scared Li Lanjuan. She was hiding in a corner and did not dare to make a sound. At this time, after hearing Chang Kui¡¯s voice, Li Lanjuan¡¯s expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly showed her face. ¡°Director Chang, I know what happened. The employee called Lin Fan wants to resign, so Manager Xiong asked him to hand over his work according to the rules. ¡°However, Lin Fan did a sloppy job. Manager Xiong asked him to do it again. In the end, Lin Fan was so angry that he beat up Manager Xiong.¡± When Li Lanjuan said this, she even put on a weak and scared look. This was her usual trick to arouse a man¡¯s desire to protect her so that she could get closer to him. In the past, Li Lanjuan had no chance to use this trick to seduce Chang Kui. Now that she had finally met him, she naturally would not miss out on him. At this moment, Li Lanjuan had already started to fantasize about the beautiful life she would have with Chang Kui. ¡°Director, you have to help me!¡± Xiong Guangping cried. When Chang Kui heard this, his brows furrowed even more. It was not because of the fight. It was because he felt like he had heard the name ¡®Lin Fan¡¯ before. In the next moment, Chang Kui¡¯s pupils constricted as he walked over to Lin Fan. He bowed slightly and stretched out his hand, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Chang Kui finally remembered where he had heard the name ¡®Lin Fan¡¯. The new boss of Qiankun building was called Lin Fan! In fact, he had even seen Lin Fan¡¯s photo yesterday! Li Lanjuan saw that Chang Kui was speaking to Lin Fan in such a good tone. A good tone? No! It was not just a good tone! In fact, there was even a faint trace of respect. Li Lanjuan seemed to have thought of something and explained, ¡°Director, you might have mistaken him for someone else. Lin Fan is just an ordinary employee of our company. ¡°He even hit Manager Xiong just now. He¡¯s very vulgar. Please be careful. Don¡¯t get hurt.¡± Calling the owner of Qiankun building vulgar to his face? How dare she? If Li Lanjuan caused Lin Fan to refuse the renewal of the contract with him, how much of a loss would he suffer? When Chang Kui thought of this, he felt a burst of anger. If Lin Fan was not in front of him, Chang Kui would have scolded Li Lanjuan. As for mistaking Lin Fan for someone else? That was impossible! Not to mention, Lin Fan¡¯s name and appearance were exactly the same as what he saw yesterday. Lin Fan¡¯s branded clothes were enough to show that he was not an ordinary person. Moreover, Chang Kui could tell at a glance that Lin Fan was wearing a Vacheron Constantin Tour de L ¡®Ile, which was a luxury watch worth tens of millions. All of this indicated that the person in front of him was definitely the owner of Qiankun building! Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Seeing how polite Chang Kui was to him, Lin Fan thought for a moment and could guess the reason. Then, he reached out and shook Chang Kui¡¯s hand. He smiled and said, ¡°Director Chang, your company doesn¡¯t seem to welcome me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Lin,¡± Chang Kui said with an apologetic smile. ¡°I wasn¡¯t strict enough when I was recruiting.¡± Xiong Guangping listened to the conversation between the two, and his heart began to panic. ¡°D-Director, please don¡¯t be fooled by Lin Fan. This rascal likes to make up stories.¡± Chang Kui¡¯s face turned serious as he turned around and shouted, ¡°Shut up! Make up stories? The entire Qiankun building is Mr. Lin¡¯s! What do you think he¡¯ll make up?¡± Boom! His words were like a bomb exploding in everyone¡¯s heart. Everyone present was dumbfounded. Qiankun building was located in the center of Jiangbei city where land was extremely expensive. The entire office building was worth one billion yuan! This was an astronomical figure for everyone. However, Qiankun building actually belonged to Lin Fan! Li Lanyuan was filled with endless regret. If she had known that Lin Fan was so rich, she would have taken off her clothes and slept with him. That way, she could cling to him. She had the chance to marry into a rich family! ¡°Director Chang is right,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Your company should spend seek to improve the quality of your employees. ¡°As the saying goes, a bad apple ruins the whole bunch. The bad apples should be cleaned up in time. ¡°Otherwise, if something really happens, it¡¯ll be too late to regret it.¡± ¡°You have a point, Mr. Lin.¡± Chang Kui nodded repeatedly. ¡°Xiong Guangping, you¡¯re fired,¡± he said coldly. Xiong Guangping¡¯s expression changed. He had spent a lot of effort to become the manager of this company and was receiving high pay. He also often showed off in front of his relatives and friends. If he was really fired, Xiong Guangping felt that the sky might fall. ¡°Director, you can¡¯t fire me!¡± Xiong Guangping quickly shouted. ¡°I¡¯m protected by labor laws! I can¡¯t be fired! ¡°Also, even if Lin fan is the owner of Qiankun building, he can¡¯t just hit people. I can sue you in court!¡± Xiong Guangping stuck out his beer belly as he spoke as if he had found some confidence. Lin Fan laughed and said, ¡°Sue me?¡± Alright! I¡¯ll wait for you to sue me!¡± ¡°Let me think about it. Since it¡¯s a fight¡­ I¡¯ll probably be locked up for a few days at most. Moreover, I wasn¡¯t the one who started it. Maybe I¡¯ll just be given a verbal warning. ¡°But, Xiong Guangping, what if I get someone to investigate your purchase contract with Zida company? ¡°What will happen if we hand it over to the police?¡± Lin Fan asked. Xiong Guangping¡¯s face turned pale. He had received a lot of rebates from his purchases, and they were huge rebates. If the police found out about it, he would probably be sentenced to more than ten years in prison. Xiong Guangping panicked and said, ¡°I¡¯m not going to sue you anymore! ¡°I¡¯ll leave the company now.¡± After he finished speaking, he didn¡¯t even pack his things and ran out as if he was escaping. The farce ended just like that. Flying Heart Limited, the director¡¯s office. Chang Kui personally brewed tea for Lin Fan and said apologetically, ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Lin Fan did not care. ¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s just a small matter.¡± ¡°I heard that you used to work at our company?¡± Chang Kui asked. ¡°Yeah, I was just playing around as I was bored,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Mr. Lin, you¡¯re really different from the rest of us!¡± Chang Kui said. After chatting for a while, Chang Kui finally brought up the important matter. ¡°There are only two months left in Flying Heart¡¯s lease in Qiankun building. I wonder when it¡¯s convenient for you to sign the contract renewal with us?¡± Chang Kui asked. Lin Fan said, ¡°Oh, about that. We¡¯ll just do it according to the previous years. I¡¯ll get the property management to help us deal with it.¡± Chang Kui¡¯s face revealed a hint of joy when he heard this. One must know that the prices of goods and rent were rising. If he were to rent his office at the same rental price, it would be a profit for him. After chatting for a while more, Lin Fan did not stay any longer. He went straight to the underground parking lot, started the Lamborghini, and drove toward the exit. Li Lanjuan, who was standing in the underground parking lot, saw everything. The regret on her face became even more intense. Lin Fan was the super tycoon who drove that supercar! No wonder he said that driving a supercar was nothing special. ¡­ Lin Fan had no way of knowing what Li Lanjuan was thinking. He drove the Lamborghini and sped all the way. When Lin Fan returned to the Hilton Hotel, it was 12:00 p.m. Suddenly, his phone vibrated slightly, and a red packet popped up. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the identity card of Dragon Division¡¯s Team 10¡¯s leader.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 999 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 5,000 yuan.] Very quickly, a minute passed. This time, Lin Fan earned a total of 50,000 yuan. He did not care about the money anymore. Lin Fan¡¯s gaze immediately landed on the words ¡®Dragon Division¡¯s Team 10¡¯s leader¡¯. [The identity token of Dragon Division¡¯s Team 10¡¯s leader. After using it, you¡¯ll become the leader of Team 10 of the country¡¯s Dragon Division. You¡¯ll have the same rank as the city leader and enjoy other privileges (it¡¯s a special identity that will display special charms).] When Lin Fan saw this, his face was filled with shock. The leader of Dragon Division¡¯s Team 10. This power was too terrifying. Lin Fan did not hesitate at all and chose to use his identity card. In an instant, an exquisitely carved dragon-shaped token appeared in his hand out of thin air. Just as Lin Fan was about to study it, his phone rang urgently. ¡°Lil¡¯ Yao, why did you call me today?¡± Lin Fan answered the call and asked with a smile. However, he could hear sobbing from the other end of the phone. The smile on Lin Fan¡¯s face instantly disappeared. He asked anxiously, ¡± ¡°Lil¡¯ Yao, what¡¯s wrong? Why are you crying? Did someone bully you? Hurry up and tell me! I¡¯ll definitely help you teach them a good lesson!¡± Lin Xiaoyao sobbed and said,¡±B-Brother¡­ Dad is unwell and is bleeding a lot.¡± Buzzzzzz! The moment she said that, Lin Fan felt as though a huge boulder had smashed into his heart. It was extremely painful! It was suffocating! Lin Fan hurriedly asked, ¡°Lil¡¯ Yao, tell me, why is Dad bleeding so much? How is he now?¡± ¡°Two days ago, Dad suddenly vomited blood while eating. Then, the ambulance took him to the hospital. ¡°Yesterday, the doctor said that¡­ there¡¯s a tumor in Dad¡¯s stomach.¡± Lin Xiaoyao could not help but start crying. ¡°Brother, what should we do? I¡¯m so scared!¡± Lin Fan consoled her, ¡°Dad will be fine. Lil¡¯ Yao, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± After hanging up the call with his sister, Lin Xiaoyao, Lin Fan dialed his mother, Dai Weixue¡¯s, phone number. The call was connected after a long while. ¡°Lil¡¯ Fan, why are you calling?¡± Dai Weixue¡¯s hoarse voice came through the phone. ¡°How¡¯s Dad?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Has the surgery started?¡± ¡°Lil Yao told you that, right? This girl, I¡¯ve already told her not to tell you.¡± Dai Weixue chided her. ¡°Lil¡¯ Fan, don¡¯t worry about it. Everything will be fine after your dad¡¯s surgery.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Mom, I just transferred some money to your bank card. You have to find the best doctor for Dad. I¡¯m going back from Jiangbei now.¡± In fact, even if there was no news of his father¡¯s illness, Lin Fan had already planned to make a trip home. After she hung up, Dai Weixue¡¯s phone vibrated. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 5,000,0000 yuan has been deposited into your account.] Dai Weixue looked at the long string of zeros on her phone screen and was completely stunned. Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After Lin Fan hung up, he was not in the mood to eat. He went straight to the underground parking lot. As the engine roared, the Lamborghini dashed out like a wild beast. In the past, when he was driving, Lin Fan would always maintain a constant speed and drive slowly. The way he was driving did not seem like he was driving a supercar at all but an ordinary car. However, today, Lin Fan was not as gentle. He was nearly drilling through the air and continuously accelerating. It caused a deep rumble to ring out on the streets from time to time. When Lin Fan got on the highway, he was like a fish in the water and was without any restraints. He continued to accelerate! With his Professional Driving Skills and the support of Absolute Focus, he was able to reach the maximum speed. Lin Fan wanted to rush to his parents¡¯ side in the shortest time possible. ¡­ A beautiful woman in a blue dress was driving a red Ferrari on the highway. At this moment, she suddenly heard the roar of an engine in the distance. Through the rearview mirror, the beauty in the blue dress saw a silver-gray Lamborghini closing in on her. Her gem-like eyes immediately lit up, and her thin, willow-leaf-like lips curled up slightly. Immediately after, her fair, beautiful legs stepped on the accelerator. Boom! Instantly, the fiery red Ferrari let out a beast-like roar and accelerated. A race began. One could not judge a book by its cover, and the sea could not be measured. Although the blue-dressed beauty looked quiet, no one would have thought that she had a heart as hot as the sun and driving skills that challenged the limits of speed. However, it was a pity that she met Lin Fan today. No matter how fast the lady in the blue dress sped up, Lin Fan was able to close the distance between them bit by bit. In the end, Lin Fan made a turn and swept past the beauty in the blue dress with a strong gust of wind. The beauty in the blue dress caught a glimpse of Lin Fan¡¯s figure through the window. Then, she could only see the tail lights of the car that was speeding away. ¡°ALF 666, I hope to meet you again soon,¡± the beauty in the blue dress said softly. ¡­ Lin Fan did not take the race earlier to heart. He continued to move forward at his fastest speed. Jiangbei was not far from Qing City. Not long after, he arrived at the Central Hospital of Qing City. He pushed open the door to the ward and saw his father, Lin Tao, lying on the bed. He was breathing with the aid of an oxygen mask with difficulty. His wrinkled face was pale. Lin Fan¡¯s heart was in pain. Creak! Creak! At this moment, the door of the ward opened. His mother, Dai Weixue, walked in. ¡°Lil¡¯ Fan, you¡¯re back so soon?¡± Dai Weixue was shocked. Lin Fan made a shushing gesture, indicating for them to go out and talk so as not to disturb his father¡¯s rest. In the corridor. ¡°Mom, how¡¯s Dad¡¯s condition?¡± Lin Fan asked. At the start, Dai Weixue hid it from Lin Fan because she did not want him to worry. Now that Lin Fan knew that Lin Tao had fallen ill, there was no need to hide it anymore. ¡°There¡¯s a tumor in your father¡¯s stomach. After we pay the fees, we should be able to arrange for the surgery within these two days.¡± Dai Weixue¡¯s eyes were slightly red as she said this. ¡°By the way, you still haven¡¯t told me what that five million is all about?¡± When Lin Tao fell ill, Dai Weixue felt as if the entire sky was falling down, but she gritted her teeth and endured it all. For the past two days, she had been taking care of Lin Tao and borrowing money from people everywhere. However, the surgery required a huge sum of money, and Dai Weixue couldn¡¯t raise enough in such a short time. Today, Lin Fan suddenly sent over 5 million bucks, making Dai Weixue both surprised and happy. However, she did not dare to pay the surgery fees immediately. Lin Fan was just an ordinary worker. Where did he get such a large sum of money? Dai Weixue was worried that he was taking the wrong path. If she were to use this sum of money and it ended up harming Lin Fan, then it would be too late for regrets. Lin Fan said, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry. This is the money I earned from investing in stocks and buying Bitcoin. Moreover, this is only a small part of it. Our family is no longer short of money.¡± Regarding the system, Lin Fan did not intend to tell anyone about it. This included his parents and sister. It was not that Lin fan did not trust his parents and sister. The main thing was that even if he told them, they would not believe him. It would only add to their troubles. Dai Weixue had also heard that people could become rich overnight by buying stocks and Bitcoin. Therefore, when she heard Lin Fan¡¯s words, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Then, she looked at Lin Tao, who was lying in the ward bed with an extremely worried look. After a moment, she said in a hoarse voice, ¡°I¡¯ll go and pay the fee first.¡± Lin Gan said, ¡°Mom, sit and rest. I¡¯ll go.¡± The hospital was never short of patients, and there was a long queue at the payment window. At this moment, a group of doctors in white coats and a few middle-aged men in white shirts who exuded a superior aura walked in together. Behind them were a few professional reporters with microphones in their hands and video cameras on their shoulders. The tall and thin man standing beside Lin Fan said in shock, ¡°There¡¯s even a camera! What¡¯s that for?¡± The shorter man said, ¡°No way. Didn¡¯t you see the news? The man with the glasses is a big leader in the city!¡± ¡°Heavens! A big leader from the city came to visit the hospital? Doesn¡¯t that mean we can also appear on TV today?¡± The tall, thin man said excitedly. Lin Fan heard the conversation between the two of them, and his eyes flickered slightly. He walked up with large strides. The city¡¯s leader was surrounded by guards, and ordinary people could not get close at all. However, Lin Fan was no ordinary person. He easily bypassed the guards and came to the leader. ¡°And you are?¡± The leader was a little confused. Lin Fan took out the dragon-shaped token from his pocket and said, ¡°Leader, do you have time to talk in private?¡± The pupils of the leader, who was originally calm, shrank slightly. He had seen the dragon-shaped token once before and was very clear on what it represented. He hurriedly nodded and said, ¡°Of course, you can.¡± Then, he turned to the bald doctor and asked, ¡°Director Huang, can you find us a quiet place?¡± ¡°Sure, sure. Head this way, please,¡± Director Huang said. Soon, Director Huang brought the two of them to a spacious meeting room. ¡°Director Huang, you should stay too,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright,¡± Director Huang replied. The three sat down. Lin Fan did not beat about the bush and said directly, ¡°I¡¯m actually looking for you this time because I have a personal matter that I need your help with.¡± When the leader heard this, not only was he not angry, but he also felt a sense of joy. Even though Lin Fan¡¯s level was similar to his, the special privileges he had far exceeded his own. If he could help Lin Fan, he could improve their relationship. In the eyes of the leader, this was definitely a great thing. Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Even though he could still arrange for his father¡¯s surgery after paying the fee, Lin Fan understood that every operation had its risks. He had to find the best doctor for his father to minimize the risk. ¡°Two days ago, my dad was admitted to the hospital because he has a tumor in his stomach. So, I want to ask if you know any experts in this area,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Filial piety is the most important virtue,¡± the leader praised him. ¡°For the sake of your father¡¯s health, you¡¯re busy running about. It¡¯s rare, truly rare! ¡°I¡¯ve always admired people who are filial to their parents like you! ¡°My name is Zhao Jiaqi. I¡¯m a little older than you. If you don¡¯t mind, you can call me Old Zhao.¡± Director Huang¡¯s heart trembled when he heard this. He had guessed that Lin Fan¡¯s identity was not normal. Otherwise, Zhao Jiaqi would not have postponed his plan to visit the hospital and met with him alone. However, Director Huang did not expect Lin Fan¡¯s identity to be so terrifying. The big leader, Zhao Jiaqi, told Lin Fan to address him as Old Zhao? This¡­ It was beyond his imagination. ¡°I think I¡¯ll just call you Brother Zhao. Oh right, I¡¯m Lin Fan.¡± ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll call you Little Brother Lin,¡± Zhao Jiaqi said happily. After a pause, Zhao Jiaqi continued, ¡°Is Uncle Lin in the Central Hospital of Qing City? Director Huang is just beside you, so you can tell him about Uncle Lin¡¯s situation first.¡± Thus, Lin fan explained the general situation. ¡°I¡¯ll ask the specialists from the oncology department to hold a meeting right away,¡± Director Huang said immediately. Not long after, several doctors came to the meeting room with documents. They already knew that Lin Fan¡¯s identity was not ordinary. After carefully looking through Lin Tao¡¯s medical report, they finally gave a suggestion. ¡°Mr. Lin¡¯s tumor was discovered quite late. It¡¯ll be more dangerous if we use conventional surgery.¡± ¡°Moreover, even if we succeed, it might have a certain impact on his future life.¡± When Lin Fan heard that, he frowned. ¡°What if he¡¯s transferred to another hospital in the capital city?¡± Zhao Jiaqi asked. ¡°With Mr. Lin¡¯s current condition, I¡¯m afraid he can¡¯t handle such a long journey,¡± a doctor said. The atmosphere in the meeting room became heavy. At this moment, the doctor with gold-rimmed glasses said, ¡°If Department Director Li Quan from the Jinbei Medical Association uses his surgical technique to perform this surgery, the danger and the subsequent impact can be minimized.¡± All the doctors nodded in agreement. Normally, doctors would rarely admit that their medical skills were inferior to others in public. However, at this moment, they could not care so much. The doctor with the gold-rimmed glasses continued, ¡°Also, as far as I know, Director Li Quan went to the Jiangbei Association for a meeting yesterday.¡± When Zhao Jiaqi heard this, he finally smiled and said, ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, things will be easy. I¡¯m quite familiar with the Jinbei Association of Sciences, so I should be able to get Director Li Quan to come to Qing City.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you, Brother Zhao,¡± Lin Fan said solemnly. ¡°It¡¯s no trouble, no trouble at all. I¡¯m very happy to be able to help you a little,¡± Zhao Jiaqi said. He was definitely not spouting nonsense. Zhao Jiaqi had wanted to befriend Lin Fan. Now that he had the chance to help, he was naturally happy. Then, Zhao Jiaqi made a call to the old dean of Jinbei Medical Association. After some discussion, he finally asked the other party to invite Li Quan to Qing City for surgery. Li Quan gave him a lot of face. Not long after, he called and said that he would come to Qing City tomorrow morning. With all the arrangements in place, Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, a middle-aged man in a white shirt slowly walked in with an exquisite fruit basket. ¡°Little Brother Lin, with Director Li Quan¡¯s help, Uncle Lin will definitely be fine. Shall we go and visit Uncle Lin now?¡± Zhao Jiaqi said. ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡­ In the ward. Although Lin Tao¡¯s complexion was still poor, he had already regained consciousness. Dai Weixue was using a hot towel to wipe Lin Tao¡¯s forehead. ¡°Did you just say that Lil¡¯ Fan is back?¡± asked Lin Tao. ¡°Yes, and he¡¯s doing very well now. He paid a large sum of money for your surgery. So, you just need to recuperate in peace,¡± Dai Weixue said. When Lin Tao heard this, not only did he not feel happy, but he frowned and said, ¡°A large sum of money? He didn¡¯t do anything illegal, did he?¡± Creak! Creak! Dai Weixue was about to explain when the door was pushed open. Then, Lin Fan, Zhao Jiaqi, Director Huang, and a large group of doctors walked in. Lin Fan looked at Lin Tao, who was sitting on the bed, and said excitedly, ¡°Dad, you¡¯re awake?¡± ¡°Yes, I just woke up,¡± Lin Tao said. Then, he looked at Zhao Jiaqi, Director Huang, and the others with a puzzled look. Especially when he saw Zhao Jiaqi, the doubt on Lin Tao¡¯s face deepened. He had a feeling that he had seen Zhao Jiaqi somewhere before. Lin Fan introduced, ¡°This is the leader of Qing City, Zhao Jiaqi. This is the director of the Central Hospital of Qing City, Director Huang¡­¡± Hearing this, Lin Tao¡¯s turbid eyes immediately widened. City leader! That was right! He was the big city leader! He often saw him speaking on the Qing City¡¯s news channel! Now, the figure had actually appeared in front of him! He came to the hospital to visit him personally? Zhao Jiaqi walked to the hospital bed and asked softly, ¡°Uncle Lin, how do you feel now?¡± Uncle Lin? Not only did the leader of Qing City come to the hospital to visit him, but he also called him Uncle Lin? Lin Tao hurriedly said, ¡°Uh¡­ Great leader, you can just call me Lin Tao. I¡¯m in good health, very good health¡­¡± He was so excited that he was incoherent. His originally pale face even had a rare flush of red due to excitement. ¡°How can I do that? You¡¯re Lin Fan¡¯s father, so we can¡¯t mess up the seniority,¡± Zhao Jiaqi said. In fact, Zhao Jiaqi was a few years older than Lin Tao. However, as he said, the seniority could not be messed up. He did not dare to directly call Lin Tao by his name. He paused for a moment before continuing. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Uncle Lin. Little Brother Lin Fan has already arranged for the best doctor for you. He¡¯ll definitely be able to make your body recover! ¡°Also, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must tell us!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll be fine!¡± Lin Tao said with a smile. Then, Director Huang went up to greet him and personally helped Lin Tao carry out a more detailed examination. After a round of small talk, they expressed that they wanted Lin Tao to rest more and left. Lin Tao looked at the room full of exquisite fruit baskets, and his grin almost reached the back of his ears. Seeing Lin Tao so happy, Lin Fan was also very happy. ¡°Lil¡¯ Fan, how did you get to know such a big figure?¡± Lin Tao could not help but ask. Lin Fan made up an excuse and said, ¡°Maybe he knows that I¡¯m investing in stocks. I¡¯ve made a lot of money by buying Bitcoin, so perhaps he wants me to invest in Qing City?¡± ¡°Oh, I see.¡± Lin Tao nodded, ¡°If the conditions allow, we can make some investments in Qing City.¡± ¡°Dad, don¡¯t worry. No matter what, Qing City is my hometown. When the time is right, I¡¯ll definitely help my hometown with the development,¡± Lin Fan said. Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At this moment, Dai Weixue¡¯s phone vibrated. She looked at the message and said, ¡°Lil¡¯ Yao said that she¡¯ll come to the hospital after school. She asked us if we need anything.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Lil¡¯ Yao¡¯s gonna get off school? It¡¯s not easy to get a taxi at this time. I¡¯ll go pick her up.¡± Then, he walked out of the ward. Dai Weixue had wanted to ask, ¡®When did you buy a car?¡¯ However, when she thought about the five million bucks that Lin Fan had transferred to her¡­ In fact, even the leader of Qing City was calling him ¡®Little Brother¡¯ in order to get investment. In that case, it seemed normal for him to have a car. Dai Weixue looked at Lin Tao¡¯s happy expression and smiled. ¡°You¡¯re not worried about your son going astray now, are you?¡± ¡°Not at all!¡± Lin Tao said. What a joke. Even the leader of Qing City had to call his son ¡®Little Brother.¡¯ How could he take the wrong path? ¡­ Qing City No. 1 High School was one of the key high schools in Qing City. The most outstanding students in the entire Qing City were gathered here. After the school bell rang, a large group of young students with backpacks on their backs walked out, full of youth and ambition. They were either discussing difficult math problems or talking about exam questions. Lin Fan immediately spotted Lin Xiaoyao in the crowd. She had her hair tied up in a ponytail, and she stood there elegantly. At the same time, Lin Xiaoyao also saw Lin Fan and ran up to him. Lin Fan pinched Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s face and said, ¡°Remember to eat more every day. If you lose weight, it¡¯ll be unpleasant to pinch.¡± ¡°Brother!¡± Lin Xiaoyao protested. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital,¡± Lin Fan said with a smile. As he spoke, he opened the door of the Lamborghini and got in. ¡°Brother, this car is weird,¡± Lin Xiaoyao said, stunned. Lin Xiaoyao did not know much about cars, but she knew that sports cars were very expensive. Any one of them would probably cost millions! Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯ve been speculating in stocks and Bitcoin for the past two years. I¡¯ve made a lot of money, so I bought this car.¡± After lying a few times, Lin Fan no longer had any hesitation when doing it. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re too amazing!¡± Lin Xiaoyao exclaimed. After saying that, Lin Xiaoyao scuttled into the car like a little monkey. Then, she touched all the corners. Her bright black eyes were full of excitement and curiosity. Not long after, the two of them returned to the hospital. At this time, Lin Tao had already been arranged to the VIP ward. It was a spacious and clean ward with a separate bathroom. Overall, it did not look like a ward at all but a luxury suite in a hotel. In addition, there were also nurses and care workers in the VIP ward. They provided the best service throughout the whole process. Staying here did not feel like staying in the hospital at all. It was more like he was here to enjoy life. ¡°Wow!¡± Lin Xiaoyao exclaimed. ¡°This ward is so good.¡± Lin Tao¡¯s sallow face was full of smiles as he said, ¡°Lil¡¯ Yao, you don¡¯t know this, but the leader of Qing City, the hospital director, and the chief physicians all came to see me. And the leader of Qing City even called me ¡®Uncle¡¯!¡± This was definitely the peak of Lin Tao¡¯s life. When he saw his daughter, he could not help but want to brag. ¡°Look at how smug you are. It¡¯s all thanks to Lil¡¯ Fan.¡± Dai Weixue laughed. ¡°Brother, you know the leader of Qing City? The leader was here to visit Dad?¡± Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s eyes widened. Even though she knew that her brother was amazing when she sat in the Lamborghini just now, she did not expect Lin fan to be so influential! In Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s eyes, the leader of Qing City was a true big shot! Such a big shot actually came to visit their father because of her brother and even called their father ¡®Uncle¡¯! Lin Tao was very satisfied with his daughter¡¯s surprised expression and said proudly, ¡°Of course! Moreover, the leader of Qing City has invited an expert from Jinbei Medical Association to perform the surgery for me tomorrow!¡± ¡°Really? That¡¯s great!¡± Lin Xiaoyao called out happily. The family was very happy to be reunited. They were not as sad as they were when they first found out about the tumor. ¡°Big Brother, you¡¯re so amazing!¡± Lin Xiaoyao cheered. However, she seemed to have thought of something and said with great self-blame, ¡°If I hadn¡¯t fallen sick back then and caused you to miss the college entrance examination and lose the chance to go to college, perhaps you would¡¯ve been better off.¡± Lin Fan smiled and touched Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s face, ¡°We don¡¯t know that for sure! It¡¯s precisely because I entered society early that I¡¯m able to earn so much money and get to know big leaders. ¡°If I had taken the college entrance examination and gone to college, I might not have found a job yet. ¡°Besides, I¡¯ve been specially admitted to Jiangbei University.¡± Lin Fan laughed. Even if I had taken the college entrance exam back then, I might not have been able to get into such a good school.¡± Jiangbei University was one of the top ten universities in the country. Lin Fan¡¯s grades back then were indeed not bad. However, if he wanted to get into Jiangbei University, he had to perform well. ¡°Brother, are you saying that you¡¯re studying at Jiangbei University now?¡± Lin Xiaoyao was shocked. ¡°How can it be fake? The dean of Jiangbei University¡¯s School of Mathematics personally recruited me,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright, alright!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Lin Tao and Dai Weixue both shouted happily. All parents hoped that their children could study and go to college. They were both very regretful that Lin Fan did not go to college. Now that Lin Fan had been specially admitted to Jiangbei University, it was definitely good news for them! ¡­ Although there was a separate nurse in the VIP ward to take care of Lin Tao, Lin Tao¡¯s condition was very serious. Lin Fan rented a bed for the night and stayed beside Lin Tao. At midnight, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 700,000 yuan has been deposited into your account.] The next day. Dai Weixue brought breakfast over early in the morning. After breakfast, the family started to chat in the hospital. When a ray of warm sunlight shone through the window and onto the bed, the leader, Zhao Jiaqi, and a large group of doctors came into the ward. Zhao Jiaqi pointed at the doctor of medium build beside him and introduced, ¡°Little Brother Lin, this is Director Li Quan.¡± ¡°Director Li, thank you for coming all the way here from Jiangbei,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°You¡¯re too kind, Mr. Lin,¡± said Li Quan with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s my duty as a doctor to save people.¡± Even though Lin Fan looked very young, even the leader of QingCity had to treat him with some respect, so Li Quan did not dare to be arrogant. Zhao Jiaqi walked to the bed and asked with concern, ¡°Uncle Lin, how are you feeling today?¡± ¡°I feel much better now,¡± Tao Lin replied. Zhao Jiaqi said, ¡°That¡¯s good¡­¡± Then, Li Quan walked to the bed and examined Tao Lin¡¯s body. He then carefully read the medical records. ¡°Mr. Lin, you¡¯re doing well. I¡¯ll be able to perform the surgery for you later. Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll be over soon, and you¡¯ll be healthy again.¡± ¡°Alright, alright!¡± Lin Tao responded. Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Lin Tao was pushed into the operating room. Originally, Zhao Jiaqi wanted to leave after Lin Tao¡¯s surgery. However, as the leader of Qing City, he had too many things to deal with. Zhao Jiaqi had to leave the hospital in advance after receiving an emergency call. Time passed by. In the blink of an eye, it was 12 o¡¯clock. Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. A red packet had appeared. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 2,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 51% of Yinshan Group¡¯s shares.] When Lin Fan received the red packet, he paused for a moment. Yinshan group? If he remembered correctly, Yinshan Group¡¯s subsidiary companies included Yinshan Shopping Center, Yinshan Gold, and other companies. Their market value was definitely above ten billion. He now owned 51% of Yinshan Group¡¯s shares? Would that not mean that he would instantly gain billions in assets? It was this moment of daze that made the time reach 12:01 p.m. However, Lin Fan did not feel that it was a pity. With this 51% of shares, getting fewer red packets meant nothing. Creak! Creak! At this moment, the door of the operating room slowly opened. Li Quan and a few doctors dragged their tired bodies out. ¡°Director Li, how¡¯s Lin Tao?¡± Dai Weixue asked nervously. ¡°The surgery was very successful. He should be fine after staying in the hospital for a while,¡± Li Quan said. ¡°Alright, thank you. Thank you so much.¡± Dai Weixue was extremely excited. Even though she already knew that Li Quan was an expert with high medical skills and could treat Lin Tao,Dai Weixue¡¯s heart was still hanging in the air during this time. She was not able to sleep at all last night After all, there were risks and accidents in any surgery. It was only now that her heart settled down. ¡°Can I go and see Lin Tao?¡± Dai Weixue asked. ¡°Mr. Lin just finished his surgery,¡± Li Quan said. ¡°He¡¯s asleep now. It¡¯s best to let him rest for a while.¡± ¡°Alright, alright,¡± Dai Weixue responded. When Lin Tao opened his eyes, it was already night. ¡°Dad, you¡¯re awake!¡± After school, Lin Xiaoyao, who had rushed straight to the hospital, called out happily. ¡°Xiaoyao, lower your voice!¡± Dai Weixue chided in a low voice. ¡°Lin Tao, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?¡± she asked softly. ¡°Dad, how do you feel?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°I¡¯m feeling pretty good.¡± Lin Tao shook his head. When they heard this, they were all even happier. ¡­ On the other hand, in the chairman¡¯s office of Yinshan Group. Song Zhifeng read the information in front of him several times and sighed. ¡°In the beginning, for the sake of development, a large number of shares flowed into the market. ¡°And now, this Mr. Lin Fan has actually acquired 51% of Yinshan Group¡¯s shares!¡± Song Zhifeng¡¯s face was filled with regret as he said this. With 51% of the shares, he was undoubtedly the largest shareholder! Yinshan group was a business empire that Song Zhifeng had established. Now, it was no longer under his control. How could he not regret it? Song Zhifeng hesitated for a long time before he finally dialed the number on the information. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. I¡¯m Song Zhifeng, the chairman of Yinshan Group,¡± Song Zhifeng said carefully. Lin Fan¡¯s deep voice came from the phone, ¡°Oh, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Lin Fan quickly thought of the 51% shares he had obtained from Yinshan Group in the afternoon. Hence, he was not too surprised when Song Zhifeng called. ¡°You¡¯re the biggest shareholder of Yinshan Group. Do you have any instructions for the group¡¯s future development?¡± Song Zhifeng asked. ¡°Just do as you did in the past,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Develop well. I¡¯ll only hold the company¡¯s shares.¡± Lin Fan had no interest in the development of Yinshan Group. If he could, he wanted to sell all his shares immediately. Unfortunately, all the items he obtained from the system were prohibited from being traded. Song Zhifeng¡¯s face lit up with joy. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll definitely transfer the dividends to your account on time.¡± Song Zhifeng was very afraid that the company¡¯s largest shareholder would command the company at will. If he only wanted to get dividends, it would definitely be good news for him¡ªextremely good news! ¡­ In the next few days, Lin Fan stayed in the hospital to take care of Lin Tao. He also had the doctor use the best medicine to help Lin Tao¡¯s body recover. Just the cost of nursing alone would cost tens of thousands of yuan a day. Lin Tao¡¯s health and complexion were getting better day by day. He could even get out of bed and walk. For the past few days, Lin Fan only received cash from the red packets that appeared at noon. On top of that, he also received the cash earned from breathing, walking, and sleeping. Lin Fan¡¯s account balance had an additional three million. [Name: Lin Fan] [Level: LV4] [Level 4 reward: ten yuan for every breath; ten yuan for every second of sleep; ten yuan for every step taken.Rewards are distributed at 12 a.m. daily.] [Upgrade cost: 750000/10 million (not including gifts and gambling. In addition, all items obtained from the system are prohibited from being traded.] [Skills: Professional Driving Skills, Charming Aura (5% chance to trigger love at first sight and unforgettable love), Violent Aesthetics, Drinking Gentleman, Absolute Focus (5% chance to trigger a flash of inspiration), Professor-Level Mathematics Experience.] [Funds: 10.3 million.] It was obvious that the five million that Lin fan had transferred to Dai Weixue a few days ago had not been included in his budgeting. However, Lin Fan did not mind at all. Dai Weixue peeled an apple for Lin Tao and said, ¡°It¡¯s the weekend today, and it¡¯s rare for Lil¡¯ Yao to have some rest time. Lil¡¯ Fan, take Lil¡¯ Yao out to play.¡± ¡°Yeah, you guys should go out and play. My body is fine now. You guys are making the ward stuffy,¡± Lin Tao said. Lin Fan felt that his father¡¯s words made sense. ¡°Then let¡¯s go out for a walk.¡± He nodded. ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Xiaoyao said happily. When she knew her father had fallen sick, Lin Xiaoyao was very sad and scared. Now, her father was fine. Lin Xiaoyao, who was naturally active, felt a little uncomfortable staying in the ward. Lin Fan looked at Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s slightly dull clothes and said, ¡°Lil¡¯ Yao, let¡¯s go buy some clothes first. Which mall is the best in Qing City? Don¡¯t try to save money for me.¡± ¡°Yinshan Mall!¡± Lin Xiaoyao said happily. In the past, Lin Xiaoyao would never have gone to Yinshan Mall to buy clothes. The clothes there were indeed beautiful, but they were also relatively expensive. Now, Lin Xiaoyao did not have so many concerns. After all, Lin Fan was driving a sports car that was worth millions. Lin Xiaoyao did not feel any burden at all by the idea of using Lin Fan¡¯s money to buy a few expensive clothes. As an older brother, should he not be spending money on his younger sister? Moreover, Lin Fan had also told her not to hesitate. When Lin Fan heard Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s words, he gave her a weird look. Yinshan Mall? Strictly speaking, this seemed to be his own business. ¡®Going to my own mall to buy clothes?¡¯ ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go to Yinshan Mall.¡± Lin fan smiled. Chapter 20 - Shopping For Clothes; Blood Splatters in the Mall Chapter 20 Shopping For Clothes; Blood Splatters in the Mall Although Lin Xiaoyao had already sat in the Lamborghini, when she sat in it again, her face was still full of curiosity. She could not help looking around. Yinshan Mall was not far from the Central Hospital of Qing City. In a short ten minutes, Lin Fan arrived at his destination. Lin Fan first bought two cups of milk tea. Then, he and Lin Xiaoyao leisurely strolled around the mall. It had to be said that the cost of living in a fourth-tier city like Qing City was very low. In the entire Yinshan Mall, there wasn¡¯t even a single piece of clothing that cost more than 10,000 yuan. Earlier, Lin Xiaoyao had indeed wanted to buy a few pieces of clothing without any qualms. However, when she arrived at Yinshan Mall, she hesitated again when she saw that the clothes were several times more expensive than usual. Lin Xiaoyao browsed through one clothing store after another. She decided that she had to buy clothes that were both pretty and cheap. With this goal in mind, Lin Xiaoyao became more and more excited and happy as she strolled. She was happy, but Lin Fan was suffering. Even though Lin Fan had the skill of Violence Aesthetics, which greatly strengthened his body, his legs still felt weak after an hour of shopping. When he walked into another clothing store, Lin Fan took the shopping bags and sat on a chair to rest. He let Lin Xiaoyao choose the clothes and try them on. Lin Xiaoyao picked up a beautiful dress and turned to walk toward the changing room. However, behind her, a couple had appeared without her knowing. Bang! Lin Xiaoyao ran into the woman who had heavy makeup on, and the milk tea spilled on her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry,¡± Lin Xiaoyao hurriedly apologized and took out a tissue to wipe the milk tea off the woman¡¯s body. The woman with heavy makeup was like a roaring tiger as she cursed, ¡°Do you not have eyes? I just bought these clothes!¡± As she spoke, the woman with heavy makeup raised her hand and slapped Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s face. Slap! A loud slap reverberated in the clothing store. In an instant, a clear handprint appeared on Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s face. The woman with heavy makeup had not vented her anger and pushed Lin Xiaoyao hard. Thud! Lin Xiaoyao was already a little dazed from the slap, and with her petite body, she fell to the ground instantly. Beside her, the man in Armani clothes said sternly, ¡°How dare you dirty my girlfriend¡¯s clothes?! You must be blind! As he spoke, he kicked Lin Xiaoyao, who was on the ground. Bang! However, this kick was blocked by Lin Fan. Lin Fan had seen it when the woman with heavy makeup hit Lin Xiaoyao. He wanted to stop her, but he was too far away. Even for Lin Fan, he could not get there in time. The man saw that he was stopped and shouted angrily, ¡°Who the hell are you? You actually dare to stop me!¡± Bang! Lin Fan did not reply at all. He raised his leg and kicked the man a few meters away. He hit the wall in the distance and made a deep sound. Lin Fan first helped Lin Xiaoyao up and asked with concern, ¡°Lil¡¯ Yao, are you alright?¡± At that moment, Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s left cheek was already slowly swelling. She sobbed silently, and tears kept falling down like raindrops. Lin Xiaoyao sobbed and shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s fine¡­ I¡¯m fine¡­¡± This couple did not look like they were easy to deal with, and she did not want to cause trouble for Lin Fan. Lin Fan looked at Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s pitiful face, and his heart burned with anger. ¡°Lil¡¯ Yao, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely make them pay the price!¡± After saying that, Lin fan turned around and stared at the woman with heavy makeup with a pair of cold and sharp eyes. The woman with heavy makeup had not even recovered from the shock of seeing her boyfriend getting kicked when Lin Fan suddenly stared at her. She did not know why, but she could not help but shiver. She slowly took two steps back and said, ¡°What do you wanna do¡­¡± ¡°Apologize!¡± Lin Fan said coldly. At the same time, he slapped the woman¡¯s face. Slap! In an instant, one side of the woman¡¯s face immediately swelled up, and one side of her eyeliner cracked. ¡°Apologize!¡± After pausing for two seconds, Lin Fan shouted again and slapped the woman¡¯s face once more. Slap! Suddenly, the woman¡¯s entire face turned red and swollen. The eyeliner on her second eye also cracked. ¡°Apologize!¡± Lin Fan hollered once more as he gave her a third slap. Slap! Not only did the force of the slap not decrease, but it also became even stronger. The woman with heavy makeup fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of teeth mixed with blood. Instantly, the woman¡¯s face swelled up like a pig¡¯s head. The woman with heavy makeup on the ground trembled in fear when she saw that Lin Fan was about to hit her again. She knelt on the ground and cried out in fear, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry¡­ I was wrong¡­¡± She was completely scared of being beaten, and her tears and snot were flowing freely. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be apologizing to me!¡± Lin Fan said. The woman with heavy makeup quickly kowtowed to Lin Xiaoyao and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it¡¯s my fault. It¡¯s all my fault¡­ I shouldn¡¯t have hit you, and I shouldn¡¯t have pushed you¡­¡± At that moment, the staff members were already hiding in a corner, not daring to make a sound. Lin Xiaoyao was also shocked by the state the woman was in. ¡°Brother, why don¡¯t we just forget about it?¡± At this moment, the man in Armani clothes got up from the ground. He held his stomach and pointed at Lin Fan, ¡°You¡¯ve got guts, you really have the guts! No one has ever dared to hit me like this! If you dare, just wait here!¡± After saying that, the man took out his phone and quickly made a call. ¡°Brother Wei, it¡¯s Pan Zhengyang,¡± the man said. ¡°Oh, Zhengyang. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Chen Wei¡¯s relaxed voice came from the phone. ¡°Brother Wei, my girlfriend, Sun Xiaohong, and I were beaten up in front of KK clothing store in Yinshan Mall! Hurry up and bring some people over to help us!¡± Pan Zhengyang went straight to the point. ¡°What?¡± Chen Wei shouted. ¡°There¡¯s someone who dares to hit you in my territory? Tell him to wait, I¡¯ll bring people over immediately. What a rebel!¡± Pan Zhengyang was Chen Wei¡¯s younger cousin. If it was just Pan Zhengyang who was beaten up, Chen Wei would not have been so angry. However, since this involved Sun Xiaohong, it was a different story. This was because Chen Wei was the department manager of Qing city¡¯s Yinshan Mall. Sun Xiaohong¡¯s father was the chairman of Jiaxing Snacks Company. Every year, Jiaxing Snacks Company would give Chen Wei a large sum of money to allow their family¡¯s snacks to be sold at the supermarket of Yinshan Mall. It could be said that Sun Xiaohong¡¯s father was Chen Wei¡¯s God of Fortune. Now that the daughter of the God of Fortune had been beaten up in Yinshan Mall, Chen Wei was naturally extremely angry. After hanging up the phone, Chen Wei quickly gathered more than 30 security guards and walked toward KK clothing store in an aggressive manner. Lin Fan did not care about Pan Zhengyang calling for help. That was because Lin Fan had the skill of Violence Aesthetics. Even if he had to deal with a hundred people, he would have no problem at all. Today, Lin Fan was going to teach the person who bullied his sister a lesson. Lin Xiaoyao wanted to persuade Lin Fan to leave. However, Lin Fan just sat down without any intention of moving. Lin Xiaoyao recalled Pan Zhengyang¡¯s call, and the worry and fear in her heart surged like a tide. After a moment of hesitation, Lin Xiaoyao quietly walked to a corner and called the police. Chapter 21 - Impudent, Ill See Who Dares! Chapter 21 Impudent, I¡¯ll See Who Dares! Chen Wei had worked at Yinshan Mall for several years, so he was extremely familiar with everything here. After a while, he led a large group of security guards and arrived at the door of KK clothing store. When Pan Zhengyang saw them from afar, he waved at them and shouted, ¡°Brother Wei, over here! I¡¯m here!¡± As he spoke, he looked at Lin Fan with an extremely cold gaze. It was as if he was saying, ¡®Kid, you¡¯re gonna die later!¡¯ Sun Xiaohong¡¯s face was swollen like a pig¡¯s head, but when she saw so many people, she became more confident. She pointed at Lin Fan and shouted, ¡°It¡¯s him! He hit me! Brother Wei, quickly help me teach him a lesson!¡± When Chen Wei saw Sun Xiaohong¡¯s miserable appearance, he was slightly shocked as well. He made a guarantee, saying, ¡°Xiaohong, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely teach him a lesson for you.¡± Then, Chen Wei viciously said to Lin Fan, ¡°Brat, how dare you cause trouble in Yinshan Mall! I have suspicions that you¡¯re stealing from Yinshan Mall! ¡°Men, arrest him and bring him to the security room. Then, we¡¯ll wait for the investigation to be done!¡± Chen Wei¡¯s thoughts were very simple. At this moment, there were many people in Yinshan Mall. He definitely couldn¡¯t teach Lin Fan a lesson in front of everyone. Otherwise, he would be in trouble. As long as he found a reason to bring Lin Fan to the security room, he would be able to do whatever he wanted to him. Lin Fan glanced at the security guards at the scene, and a strange look appeared on his face. Originally, he had planned to teach the people the other party had called over a lesson. However, these security guards were all from Yinshan Mall. Did that not mean that they were his own employees? At that thought, Lin Fan took out his phone and dialed a string of numbers. Chen Wei saw Lin Fan making a call and said in disdain, ¡°Calling for help? Heh, I¡¯d like to see who¡¯ll dare to help someone who caused trouble and stole things in Yinshan Mall!¡± All the security guards stopped their actions of grabbing Lin Fan. They seemed to want to see Lin Fan make a fool of himself. ¡­ In the meeting room of Yinshan Group¡¯s headquarters. The chairman, Song Zhifeng, was having a high-level meeting with the company¡¯s general manager, director, and other senior executives. At that moment, Song Zhifeng¡¯s phone vibrated. Song Zhifeng frowned slightly. He hated to be interrupted by phone calls during meetings. He picked up his phone and was about to hang up. However, when he saw the caller ID, his pupils shrank slightly. Song Zhifeng answered the call without any hesitation. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Song Zhifeng said carefully. ¡°I¡¯m surrounded by dozens of security guards at Yinshan Mall in Qing City. They¡¯re saying that I¡¯ve caused trouble and stole things at Yinshan Mall. They want to take me to the security room!¡± After Lin Fan finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone. Upon hearing this, a layer of cold sweat appeared on Song Zhifeng¡¯s forehead. What did he just hear? Lin Fan was stunned to be surrounded by dozens of security guards at Yinshan Mall in Qing City? They even said that he had caused trouble? Stealing? How dare those security guards do that! One must know that Lin Fan owned 51% of Yinshan Group¡¯s shares. Not to mention causing trouble, it would be fine even if he wanted to tear down the entire Yinshan Mall! As for stealing? They should not joke around! Even if they gave Lin Fan everything in Yinshan Mall, he would probably not even care! Lin Fan only wanted the shares and dividends. He did not even ask to interfere in the operations of Yinshan Mall. However, this group of security guards actually dared to provoke him! Bastards! ¡°A bunch of bastards!¡± Song Zhifeng cursed. The senior executives in the meeting room looked at each other. Song Zhifeng never answered the phone during a meeting. Today, he made an exception. Moreover, he was so careful when he answered the phone. There was even a hint of flattery in his tone. In the end, Song Zhifeng, who had never lost his temper, started to curse. Mr. Lin? Could he be the mysterious man who recently acquired 51% of the group¡¯s shares? The executives kept guessing. Song Zhifeng, on the other hand, did not care about that. He quickly turned on the laptop in front of him, searched for something, and quickly dialed the number of the general manager of Yinshan Mall in Qing City, Zhou Chengjun. ¡­. After Zhou Chengjun finished his business discussion with his client, he drove directly to the parking lot of Yinshan Mall. He was about to return to his office to handle some documents. At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang urgently. He took a casual glance at it. In the next moment, Zhou Chengjun¡¯s pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart was beating rapidly. Zhou Chengjun was a very meticulous person. He had already saved all the phone numbers of the company¡¯s top executives. At this moment, the call was from the chairman, Song Zhifeng! Zhou Chengjun answered the call with great excitement. ¡°Good day, Chairman.¡± ¡°Good? Good, my *ss! Zhou Chengjun, how did you become the general manager? Are you doing nothing? You¡¯re simply lawless!¡± Song Zhifeng roared. Zhou Chengjun did not expect to be scolded. He was stunned for a few seconds before he asked in confusion, ¡°Chairman, I don¡¯t quite understand¡­¡± ¡°You don¡¯t understand? Then tell me, why did dozens of security guards at Yinshan Mall frame Mr. Lin Fan, the largest shareholder of Yinshan Group, for causing trouble and stealing? They even want to capture him!¡± Song Zhifeng shouted angrily. Buzzzzzz! Zhou Chengjun felt as if a cannonball had exploded right next to his ear. He was completely dumbfounded. Recently, he had heard from some sources that a mysterious person had bought 51% of Yinshan Group¡¯s shares and become the largest shareholder. Now, the largest shareholder was being framed in the mall he managed and was about to be arrested by the security guards? This was definitely a big deal! This was a huge event! Zhou Chengjun was extremely flustered. ¡°Chairman, there might be a misunderstanding here. I¡¯ve just come back from a business meeting. I¡¯m going to the mall now to clear things up.¡± ¡°Hurry up and go! Remember, you have to satisfy Mr. Lin Fan. Otherwise, hmph!¡± Song Zhifeng grunted and hung up the phone. Zhou Chengjun, who was originally walking leisurely toward his office in Yinshan Mall, did not dare to dally any longer. He quickly sprinted into the shopping center. Due to the high speed, Zhou Chengjun accidentally fell to the ground. However, he did not care about his injured knee. He rolled and crawled, moving forward as fast as he could. ¡­ In front of KK clothing store. Chen Wei saw that Lin Fan had hung up the phone.More and more people in Yinshan Mall were looking in their direction. He felt that he could not delay any longer. Otherwise, it might bring him some unnecessary trouble. Therefore, Chen Wei shouted, ¡°Men, there¡¯s no need to wait any longer. Quickly arrest this person who caused trouble and stole things and bring him to the security room! After that, we¡¯ll wait for the investigation results!¡± When the security guards heard that, they did not stay back any longer and surrounded Lin Fan. At this time, an angry roar suddenly rang out in the distance. ¡°How dare you?! I¡¯ll see who dares to make a move!¡± Chapter 22 - Hello, Mr. Lin! Please Take Them All Away! Chapter 22 Hello, Mr. Lin! Please Take Them All Away! When the security guards heard the familiar voice, they paused. Then, they saw the general manager, Zhou Chengjun, who often sat at the head of the table during meetings, limping over. Chen Wei did not expect that he would alert Zhou Chengjun, and a bad premonition arose in his heart. He hurriedly went up to him and said, ¡°General Manager Zhou, what happened to you? Quickly sit down and rest.¡± Zhou Chengjun did not pay any attention to him. He walked straight ahead and asked carefully, ¡°May I know which one of you is Mr. Lin Fan?¡± With both hands in his pockets, Lin Fan, who had a relaxed and calm expression the entire time, said, ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Zhou Chengjun looked at Lin Fan¡¯s young appearance and was slightly shocked. However, he did not dare to underestimate him. On the contrary, the way he looked at Lin Fan was even more respectful. This was a young man in his 20s who could own 51% of Yinshan Group¡¯s shares. In that case, there was probably a behemoth that he could not imagine standing behind him. Zhou Chengjun bowed at a 90-degree angle and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t manage my employees well and caused you to be pestered by them.¡± When Chen Wei saw this, the bad premonition in his heart became even more intense. He could not help but ask, ¡°General Manager Zhou, is there a misunderstanding? This young man caused trouble in our mall and beat up the daughter of the chairman of Jiaxing Snacks Company. He even stole things!¡± Chen Wei¡¯s thoughts were very simple. Jiaxing Snacks Company was a big enterprise that was cooperating with Yinshan Mall. Zhou Chengjun would definitely have some reservations. However¡­ It would have been fine if Chen Wei did not mention this, but once he did, Zhou Chengjun¡¯s heart burned with anger. Zhou Chengjun suddenly turned around and said coldly, ¡°Mr. Lin is the biggest shareholder of Yinshan Group! Do you think he¡¯ll do what you just said?¡± Chen Wei¡¯s entire body was completely frozen on the spot when he heard this. The biggest shareholder of Yinshan Group! He knew very well what this meant! He had rushed into a dead end! Being the manager of Yinshan Mall gave him a high salary, and it was an easy job. Chen Wei had bragged in front of his family and friends countless times. Now, he was afraid that this big slice of cake would be taken away from him! Chen Wei¡¯s heart was filled with endless regret. Step, step. At this moment, three officers walked over from afar. Among them, the tall and thin one said, ¡°Who called the police? What happened here?¡± Lin Xiaoyao never expected things to turn out this way. The general manager of Yinshan Mall was extremely respectful to Lin Fan. He even said that Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder of Yinshan Group. As a result, Lin Xiaoyao did not answer immediately when the officer asked the question. On the other hand, Pan Zhengyang¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the tall and skinny officer. He said excitedly, ¡°Wang Daming! It¡¯s great that you¡¯re here!¡± Then, he pointed at Lin Fan. ¡°This guy beat me up for no reason. Quickly arrest him!¡± Pan Zhengyang could tell that Chen Wei was no longer able to teach Lin Fan a lesson today. Just as he was feeling disappointed, he met his high school classmate, Wang Daming. This gave him hope to teach Lin Fan a lesson. At this moment, Lin Xiaoyao also reacted. She quickly said, ¡°Officer, I was the one who called the police! My brother didn¡¯t hit him for no reason! ¡°They were the ones who hit me first. My brother fought back to protect me.¡± Wang Daming looked in the direction Pan Zhengyang was pointing at. The next moment, his pupils suddenly shrank. It was him! It was actually him! A few days ago, Wang Daming had followed the captain, the leaders, and others to visit the Central Hospital of Qing City. However, a young man suddenly came to the leader. After that, the leader directly gave up on the tour. After the incident, Wang Daming learned from the captain that the young man¡¯s identity was very unusual. In order to treat the man¡¯s sick relative, the leader personally extended his help. The next day, the leader even went to the hospital to visit and accompany the mysterious man¡¯s family member before he went for the surgery. A big shot! That young man was definitely a big shot! Wang Daming did not expect that he would meet this big shot again so soon! Sun Xiaohong, whose face was as swollen as a pig¡¯s head, shouted, ¡°Hurry up and capture him! I¡¯m Sun Xiaohong, the daughter of the chairman of Jiaxing Snacks Company. Did you see what he did to me? ¡°As long as you catch him and teach him a lesson, I¡¯ll ask my dad to reward you! They wanted him to catch a big shot that even the city leader had to be careful with? Wang Daming¡¯s face sank, and he directly took out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed Sun Xiaohong. Pan Zhengyang was stunned for a moment before he said, ¡°Wang Daming, you¡¯re cuffing the wrong person! Why are you arresting your buddy¡¯s girlfriend? ¡°It¡¯s that bastard over there who hit us. Hurry up and capture that bastard!¡± Bastard? Did he just call that big shot a bastard? How dare he?! Furthermore, he even said that he was arresting his buddy¡¯s girlfriend. Would this not make the big shot think that they had a good relationship? ¡°Shut up!¡± Wang Daming shouted sternly. ¡°Pan Zhengyang, what nonsense are you talking about? ¡°We were just ordinary high school classmates! Even if you¡¯re my good friend, can¡¯t help you with anything! ¡°I¡¯m an officer who maintains justice!¡± Wang Daming pointed at Lin Xiaoyao and I said, ¡°This lady just said that you hit her first. That¡¯s why her brother retaliated! They were just defending themselves!¡± Then, Wang Daming said to Sun Xiaohong seriously, ¡°As for you, you¡¯re suspected of bribing a public official. We¡¯ll be detaining you now.¡± Sun Xiaohong said in a panic, ¡°I-I didn¡¯t do that.¡± ¡°No? We have video cameras that help us enforce the law!¡± Wang Daming said. After that, he did not say anything more. He grabbed Sun Xiaohong and prepared to walk away. At this moment, Zhou Chengjun, who was standing beside them, said, ¡°Hello, officer. I¡¯m Zhou Chengjun, the general manager of Yinshan Mall. I have something to report.¡± As he spoke, Zhou Chengjun pointed at Chen Wei and said, ¡°He¡¯s the manager of Yinshan Mall, Chen Wei. ¡°He took advantage of his position and accepted bribes from Jiaxing Snacks Company. He also placed many of Jiaxing Snacks Company¡¯s inferior products for sale at Yinshan Mall. ¡°At the same time, he lured the security guards of Yinshan Mall to his personal underground forces. Just a moment ago, Chen Wei even framed this honorable Mr. Lin and tried to use violence, intimidation, and other actions on him.¡± Wang Daming had encountered a lot of corruption and bribery cases. However, Chen Wei actually wanted to use violence and intimidation against Mr. Lin! This was absolutely unforgivable! How dare he?! Wang Daming shouted sternly, ¡°He¡¯s so despicable! Arrest him!¡± Click! Chen Wei, who was handcuffed, felt his entire body go cold. His legs went soft, and he directly knelt on the ground. He knew that he was done for! Very quickly, Chen Wei, Sun Xiaohong, and the security guards were all taken away. Pan Zhengyang was the only one left standing in a daze. He was not taken away. However, he was no less panicked than everyone else. Sun Xiaohong and Chen Wei could be said to have been taken away because of him. If they found out that there were quality issues with Jiaxing Snacks Company¡¯s products, then he would be in deep trouble. Pan Zhengyang could not help but shiver at the thought. Chapter 23 - The Eyes of Truth; Lin Fans True Identity Chapter 23 The Eyes of Truth; Lin Fan¡¯s True Identity Zhou Chengjun wanted to treat Lin Fan to a meal to apologize. However, Lin Fan just wanted to get some medicine to apply on Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s still red and swollen face. Thus, he rejected her directly. In the Lamborghini. Lin Xiaoyao seemed to have just snapped back to her senses and said excitedly, ¡°Brother, when did you learn to fight? The way you taught others a lesson just now was so cool!¡± Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s movements were too big when she spoke, so much so that she accidentally pulled her red and swollen face. It hurt so much that her facial muscles started twitching. ¡°Don¡¯t talk. I¡¯ll go buy you some medicine,¡¯ Lin Fan said. Lin Xiaoyao said, ¡°Medicine? I just have to put some ice on it and I¡¯ll be fine.¡± In the end, Lin Fan bought Lin Xiaoyao some medicine and an ice pack. The two-pronged approach was extremely effective. When they returned to the Central Hospital of Qing City, Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s face was no longer red or swollen. At that moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m really sorry for today. I¡¯ll definitely deal with the related personnel of Yinshan Mall in Qing City seriously,¡± Song Zhifeng said carefully. ¡°There¡¯s no need. Zhou Chengjun did a good job. However, I don¡¯t wish for such a thing to happen again in the future.¡± ¡°Yes, yes. Mr. Lin, please rest assured!¡± Song Zhifeng heaved a long sigh of relief. After hanging up, Lin Xiaoyao could not help but ask, ¡°Brother, are you really the biggest shareholder of Yinshan Mall?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. So, in the future, as long as you like clothes, you don¡¯t have to care about the price. I, your brother, am not short of money,¡± Lin Fan said. Lin Xiaoyao happily kissed Lin Fan on the cheek and said, ¡°Big brother, you¡¯re the best!¡± When the two of them arrived at the VIP ward, Lin Tao was walking back and forth in the ward. Meanwhile, Dai Weixue was folding all the clothes and packing them in the luggage. ¡°Mom, Dad, what are you doing?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°I¡¯ve been in the hospital for a long time,¡¯ Lin Tao said. ¡°In the past two days, there have been a few regular customers calling to ask when our clothing store will be open again. We¡¯re getting ready to be discharged today.¡± ¡°You¡¯re being discharged today?¡± Lin Fan said worriedly, ¡°Dad, you just had your surgery. You should stay for a few more days.¡± Lin Tao said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to. The doctor agreed to let me leave the hospital. If I continue to stay here, this illness will just recover, but I¡¯ll have other illnesses.¡± Lin Fan felt that it made sense, so he thought about it and said, ¡°You can leave the hospital, but you don¡¯t have to run the clothing store anymore. I¡¯m planning to buy a villa in Qing City or Jiangbei for you to live in,¡± he said. ¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t. Our current house is good enough. Why do we need to change to a villa?¡± Lin Tao waved his hands. ¡°The clothing store doesn¡¯t take much effort. It¡¯s good to be working.¡± ¡°Lil¡¯ Fan, we know you¡¯re doing well now, and you want to be filial to us,¡± Dai Weixue said. ¡°However, your dad and I have lived here our entire lives, and all our acquaintances are here. We won¡¯t be able to get used to it if we suddenly move to another place. ¡°Also, your dad and I aren¡¯t very old. If we really stay at home all day and do nothing, it¡¯ll be too boring. ¡°So, we won¡¯t be moving. The clothing store will still be open. We¡¯ll just run it to kill time.¡± Lin Fan said helplessly, ¡°Okay, then. But don¡¯t tire yourselves out. Don¡¯t save on food and clothes either.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Dai Weixue smiled. For the next three days, Lin Fan stayed with his parents on Fourth Street. For the past three days, Lin Fan opened red packets at noon every day. In addition to the cash he earned from sleeping, breathing, and walking for the past three days, he had an extra three million. At that moment, the balance on Lin Fan¡¯s card had returned to 13.2 million. Today, Lin Fan was driving his Lamborghini on the road back to Jiangbei after the urging of his parents. Lin Tao and Dai Weixue¡¯s reason was simple. Lin Fan had been specially recruited to study at Jiangbei University. He could not leave a bad impression on the lecturers, so he could not take such a long leave. If he was expelled because of this, then it would be too late for regrets. Lin Fan could not argue with his parents. In addition, his father¡¯s body was really fine now. Therefore, he had no choice but to return to Jiangbei. A few days ago, when Lin fan came to Qing City, he was extremely anxious. He drove at his fastest speed and arrived in Qing City in a short time. Now that he was returning to Jiangbei, he was traveling at a constant speed. It would take a relatively long time. Lin Fan did not think much of driving a Lamborghini after he got it. However, after driving the car for a long time, he felt that his back was gradually aching. ¡°When I¡¯m free, I¡¯ll definitely buy a bigger car,¡± Lin Fan mumbled. When Lin Fan returned to the presidential suite of Jiangbei¡¯s Hilton Hotel, it was 12 o¡¯clock sharp. His phone vibrated, and a red packet appeared. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 5,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,000 Yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you have received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the skill, Eyes of Truth.] It was already 12:01. ¡°When I was in Qing City, all I had was useless cash,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°But I got a skill the moment I came to Jiangbei. Is Jiangbei my lucky place?¡± As he spoke, Lin Fan turned his attention to the Eyes of Truth. [Eyes of Truth: 1. Ability to see a woman¡¯s true appearance (full score 100. Note: appearance is dependent on clothing and life). 2. Ability to see a female¡¯s favorability toward the host (full score of 100. Note: choosing a truly beautiful woman and obtaining her heart is what every man should do).] ¡°Eyes of truth?¡± Lin Fan repeated. ¡°Interesting.¡± ¡­ On the other hand, Qiao Shiya had spent a lot of effort and finally moved all of her brother¡¯s things into Washington Palace. Then, she dragged her tired body back home. At this time, his mother, Chen Minfen, came over excitedly and said, ¡°Shiya, hurry up and pack up. You¡¯re going to meet a guy later.¡± ¡°Mom, another blind date?¡± Qiao Shiya asked helplessly. Chen Minfen saw that her daughter seemed to be a little reluctant, so she said, ¡°This guy is different from Lin Fan! Lin Fan¡¯s family is so poor, but this guy¡¯s family runs a factory. Furthermore, his family has two Mercedes-Benz!¡± At this point, Chen Minfen¡¯s face scrunched up due to her wide grin. Qiao Shiya mumbled, ¡°Lin Fan¡¯s family is poor? Then there would be no rich people in this world.¡± ¡°Rich people? Shiya, what are you saying? How is Lin Fan¡¯s family rich?¡± Chen Minfen said. Hence, Qiao Shiya roughly explained what had happened a while ago. Chen Minfen immediately said, ¡°Shiya, you¡¯ve been tricked by that brat, Lin Fan! How could he have a luxury car and an entire building in Washington Palace? I know their family¡¯s situation all too well. ¡°You don¡¯t know this, but Lin Fan¡¯s father fell sick a few days ago and his mother called to borrow money! ¡°If Lin Fan¡¯s family really has that much money, why would they come to me to borrow money?¡± Qiao Shiya could not help but be a little dazed when she heard her mother¡¯s words. ¡°Lin Fan¡¯s mother really wanted to borrow money from you?¡± she asked in disbelief. ¡°How could it be fake?¡± As Chen Minfen spoke, she took out her mobile phone and opened her call record. As expected, one of them was Dai Weixue¡¯s number. Qiao Shiya immediately understood. The Lamborghini was indeed rented by Lin Fan. Also, Lin Fan did not own a building in Washington Palace. He was just asking the employees there to help him put on an act. Lin Fan wasn¡¯t a godly tycoon at all. He was a complete pauper! Chapter 24 - Jiangbei University; Pretending to Be Outstanding Chapter 24 Jiangbei University; Pretending to Be Outstanding The next day, the sky was clear. Lin Fan lay on the bed in the presidential suite and casually looked at his phone. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 730,020 yuan has been deposited into your account.] He swiped the message away without a care and played with his phone for a while. Then, he slowly got out of bed and asked the waiter to serve a big meal. After the meal, it was 12:00 p.m. Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. Red packets appeared! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 3,000 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] One minute had passed. Lin Fan received a total of 80,000 yuan. ¡°All in cash?¡± Lin Fan¡¯s mouth twitched. He rested for a while before driving his Lamborghini to Jiangbei University. In Jiangbei University, even a BMW or Mercedes-Benz that cost 200,000 to 300,000 yuan would attract attention. Not to mention, it was a Lamborghini that was worth tens of millions. The rumbling sound of an engine on the campus immediately attracted the attention of many people. They all took out their phones, secretly took photos, and uploaded them to Tieba and their class group chats. When Lin Fan walked out of the car, the eyes of a few beautiful girls sparkled as they exclaimed in unison, ¡°He¡¯s so handsome!¡± He was handsome and rich. He was the perfect male god in their hearts. Lin Fan did not care about that at all. He took out his phone and dialed a string of numbers. Not long after, a man in his 30s with slicked-back hair walked over. ¡°You must be Lin Fan, right?¡± he smiled and greeted. ¡°Yes, I am,¡± Lin Fan replied. ¡°Hahaha! I have another handsome young man among my students! I¡¯m your counselor, Sun Yaodong. Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you to collect your books first, then we¡¯ll go to the classroom,¡± Sun Yaodong said. One had to admit that there was a huge difference between a university teacher and a high school teacher. High school teachers were always stern and serious, making the students feel that teachers were elders far above them. University teachers, on the other hand, gave people a more relaxed feeling. As Sun Yaodong walked, he introduced the cafeteria, and stadium. He even talked about how to get a girlfriend. Lin Fan could not help but wonder if this was a teacher or a good friend. Not long after, Lin Fan collected his books and went to the classroom. Sun Yaodong pointed at the three people sitting in the back row and said, ¡°Lin Fan, these three will be your roommates. You guys have to get along well. I still have some things to do, so I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± The three of them were very enthusiastic about their new roommate, Lin Fan. ¡°I¡¯m Song Yi. You¡¯re not bad, bro! You¡¯re tall and handsome. You know how to play basketball, right?¡± the tall and strong man asked. Lin Fan said, ¡°I know a little. But I haven¡¯t played in a long time.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. You¡¯ll get the hang of it as we play! Besides, it¡¯s easy to attract girls by playing basketball. Maybe one day, a girl will ask you for your WeChat.¡± Song Yi laughed. The fat man said happily, ¡°I thought there were only three of us in Dorm 104. If that were the case, it wouldn¡¯t be a complete college life! ¡°Brother, it¡¯s great that you¡¯re here! ¡°By the way, my name is Zheng Jinbao.¡± The man with black-rimmed glasses said, ¡°My name is Ma Zhong.¡± His three roommates were very enthusiastic. After school, they helped Lin Fan buy his daily necessities and made his bed. They were busy until eight p.m. Lin Fan wanted to treat them to a feast. However, the three of them were all excited to go to their usual place for barbecue, so Lin Fan did not force them. This was a barbecue stall very close to Jiangbei University. The boss was about 40 years old, and his movements were skillful. The meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The portions were large. Zheng Jinbao directly put a skewer of roasted meat into his mouth and said happily, ¡°Delicious!¡± Song Yi raised his glass and said, ¡°Lin Fan, welcome to Dorm 104. From now on, the four of us are brothers. Today, we won¡¯t leave until we¡¯re drunk!¡± ¡°Right, we won¡¯t return until we¡¯re drunk!¡± Zheng Jinbao shouted. ¡°Lin Fan, welcome,¡± Ma Zhong said. ¡°Thank you!¡± Lin Fan said as he picked up his glass. Then, the four of them drank the alcohol in one go. Song Yi said, ¡°Hey, Lin Fan, your alcohol tolerance is pretty good! Come, have another one.¡± Lin Fan did not reject the offer and drank another glass. Then, the two of them continued to drink. Not long after, Song Yi hiccuped, and his entire face became as red as a tomato. On the other hand, Lin Fan seemed to have just drunk a few bottles of mineral water. There was no change at all. Zheng Jinbao was surprised, ¡°Lin Fan, your alcohol tolerance is so good! I¡¯ll have a go with you.¡± After a few glasses, Lin Fan still showed no reaction. Zheng Jinbao¡¯s head was already a little dizzy. He poked Ma Zhong¡¯s stomach and said, ¡°Don¡¯t just think about eating. Drink with Lin Fan too.¡± Ma Zhong put down the skewers and said, ¡°Lin Fan, let¡¯s drink together too.¡± Originally, Lin Fan wanted to advise them to drink less. However, they were in the mood and could not stop drinking. Therefore, Lin Fan did not try to persuade them any further. After all, they were all young people. If they drank too much, they could go back and lie down for a night. The next day, they would definitely be alive and kicking again. When Zheng Jin Bo, Ma Zhong, and Song Yi had drunk so much that their heads were spinning and they were about to fall to the ground, Lin Fan¡¯s expression remained the same as usual. He casually threw a skewer into his mouth. Just then, Qiao Shiya, who had just finished eating with a client, happened to pass by. in her She looked at Lin Fan who was drinking and eating at the roadside stall. She stopped tracks and sneered, ¡°Lin Fan, why are you eating t a roadside stall?¡± Yesterday, when Chen Minfen said that Lin Fan¡¯s family was very poor, Qiao Shiya still had a trace of suspicion. At this moment, she had completely thrown that doubt to the back of her mind. If Lin Fan really had a Lamborghini and an entire building in Washington Palace, why would he eat roadside barbecue? It was impossible! The only answer was that Lin Fan had always been a poor loser! ¡°What does it have to do with you what I eat?¡± Lin Fan frowned. Lin Fan really hated this self-righteous and vain woman. Now that she was using a mocking tone to speak to him, Lin Fan naturally would not be nice to her. of Qiao Shiya sneered and said, ¡°It¡¯s indeed none my business. However, I want to tell you something. A person should do as much as they can with their abilities. ¡°Puffing one¡¯s chest up will only make one look ugly.¡± Back then, when Qiao Shiya found out that Lin Fan owned a Lamborghini and owned a building in Washington Palace, she was extremely regretful. In fact, she even cried herself to sleep in the days after that. Now, after Qiao Shiya said these words, she felt extremely comfortable and at ease. She was happy that she was wise back then and was not deceived by a poor loser. Then, Qiao Shiya raised her neck and strode forward. Lin Fan looked at her back view and pouted. ¡°She has a problem.¡± Then, he patted the three people who were completely drunk and said, ¡°Can you still walk? Let¡¯s go back to the dormitory to rest.¡± Chapter 25 - Professional Basketball Skills, But You Havent Played basketball in a Long Time? Chapter 25 Professional Basketball Skills, But You Haven¡¯t Played basketball in a Long Time? The next day. The sun was shining brightly. Lin Fan was lying on his bed, playing with his phone. He would occasionally look at the sparrows that were flying around by the window. At this moment, Ma Zhong slowly opened his eyes. He rubbed his dizzy head and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Brothers, it¡¯s time to wake up.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied and immediately got up from the bed. ¡°Lin Fan, I rarely admire anyone,¡± Zheng Jinbao said. ¡°However, I have to say that I admire you!¡± ¡°Yesterday, we drank a lot of beer, right? You actually got the three of us drunk, but you were completely fine!¡± Lin Fan would naturally be fine. It was because he could drink a thousand glasses without getting drunk! ¡°Lin Fan, are you from the northeast? You can drink so much,¡± Song Yi said. ¡°Northeast?¡± Lin Fan laughed. ¡°I¡¯m from Qing City. Alright, hurry up and get up.¡± The few of them hesitated for a while before finally getting out of bed. It had to be said that it was good to be young. When they had just woken up, Zheng Jinbao, Ma Zhong, and Song Yi were still extremely dizzy and light-headed. However, after breakfast, the three of them were full of energy again. In the morning, the old professor was teaching a mathematical theory class. Zheng Jinbao and Song Yi were drowsy listening to it. Ma Zhong was a good student. He listened to the class seriously and kept taking notes. Lin Fan would listen to the class and flip through his books. After the bell rang¡­ Ma Zhong said, ¡°Lin Fan, you just came to class. If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand, you can ask me.¡± He noticed that when Lin Fan was in class, he did not really listen to the class but kept flipping through the book. This was why he thought that Lin Fan did not understand. However, Ma Zhong did not know that the reason why Lin Fan was not listening to the class was not that he did not understand. It was because he felt that it was too simple. ¡°That¡¯s right. Ma Zhong isn¡¯t very good in other aspects, but he¡¯s pretty good in his studies,¡± Zheng Jinbao yawned and said. ¡°What do you mean by not good in other aspects?¡± Ma Zhong protested. ¡°Then, shall we make a trip to the clubhouse tonight?¡± Zheng Jinbao chuckled. Ma Zhong¡¯s entire face instantly turned red. He opened his mouth, but no words came out. ¡°Alright, if we continue to chat, we won¡¯t even be able to squeeze into the cafeteria later,¡± Song Yi interrupted. One had to admit that the cafeteria of Jiangbei University was very different from Lin Fan¡¯s high school. Lin Fan¡¯s high school cafeteria was similar to fast food restaurants. However, the cafeteria of Jiangbei University was completely different. Crock soup, roast goose rice, stir-fries, roasted meat, ramen, and so on. There was a wide variety of dishes. The students of Jiangbei University also loved to eat, and there were long lines everywhere. It was now 12:00 p.m. Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. A red packet had appeared. Lin Fan took advantage of the free time in the queue to tap on the screen. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,000 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Professional Basketball Technique.] When he opened the last red packet, it was already 12:01 p.m. At this moment, it was Lin Fan¡¯s and the others¡¯ turn to choose the dishes. Lin Fan and the other three were all young men. They chose a lot of meat of many types. They all ate happily. ¡°I don¡¯t have any classes this afternoon,¡± Song Yi said. ¡°I¡¯m playing basketball with a few friends. Lin Fan, you should come along.¡± Lin Fan thought that since he did not have anything to do in the afternoon and he had just received the Professional Basketball Technique, he could use this opportunity to try it out. When Lin Fan thought about this, he nodded and said, ¡°Okay.¡± Song Yi put his hand on Lin Fan¡¯s shoulder and said happily, ¡°What a good lad!¡± Then, he recalled that Lin Fan had said that he had not played basketball for a long time. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± he said. ¡°Our skills aren¡¯t that great. We just play casually.¡± After lunch, Zheng Jinbao went back to the dormitory to sleep while Ma Zhong went to the library. Song Yi and Lin Fan bought a bottle of energy drink each and went to the basketball court. At that moment, there were already four men in jerseys waiting on the basketball court. A tanned, tall man greeted from afar, ¡°Song Yi, you¡¯re finally here!¡± ¡°Let me introduce him to you. This is our new friend, Lin Fan. He hasn¡¯t played basketball in a long time. Don¡¯t play too fiercely later,¡± Song Yi said. ¡°Alright,¡± the other man said. ¡°No problem!¡± The other four nodded. Then, according to the rules of street basketball, they divided the teams according to the spinning basketball. Very quickly, Lin Fan and the relatively thin men wearing the Number 1 and Number 3 jerseys were placed on the same team. The two men looked at the divided teams, their faces full of bitterness and helplessness. Their skills were not very good, and they did not have an advantage in height. And now, Lin Fan, who had not played for a long time, was added to the mix. The two of them could already see the scene of them being beaten to a pulp. Song Yi, the tanned man, and the tall and strong man were the exact opposite. The three of them looked at each other, and their faces almost bloomed with smiles. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll just be playing casually.¡± Very quickly, Song Yi took the ball and passed it to the tall and strong man. The tall and strong one then passed it to the big tanned one. Then, the tanned man quickly dribbled the ball for a layup. Swish! The basketball entered the net and scored! In the next round, No. 1 kicked off and he was quickly followed by the tall and strong one. Helplessly, he could only pass the ball to No. 3. After No. 3 dribbled the ball for a while, it was intercepted by the big, tanned guy. Then, the tanned man dribbled the ball again and made a quick layup. Swish! Another goal! In the third round, No. 1 started the game again. He saw that No. 3 was being closely marked by the big, tanned guy. Helpless, he passed the ball to Lin Fan. Song Yi, who was standing not too far away from Lin Fan, chuckled. ¡°Lin Fan, I¡¯m going to be on guard against you. You have to be careful.¡± As he spoke, he walked toward Lin Fan unhurriedly. Whoosh! However, before Song Yi could get close, Lin Fan¡¯s ball was like a gust of wind, quickly passing in front of him. The tall and strong man raised his brows and hurriedly stopped him. Lin Fan did not care at all. He feinted and dodged the ball. The tanned man quickly gave up on No. 3 and came to stop him. However, it was too late. Swish! Lin Fan made a two-step layup and the ball entered the basket easily. Score! ¡°Alright!¡± No. 1 and No. 3 both shouted happily. ¡°Lin Fan, your skills aren¡¯t bad!¡± Song Yi said in surprise. ¡°They¡¯re alright.¡± Lin Fan smiled. The street basketball match continued. The tall and strong man kicked the ball off. He was tightly guarded by No. 1 and had to pass it to Song Yi. Song Yi laughed. ¡°Lin Fan, you were really fast just now. Come and see if you can steal my ball¡­¡± Smack! When Lin Fan heard that, he raised his hand and smacked the basketball. The basketball landed in his hands. Song Yi was stunned. That was right! He said he would let Lin Fan try to snatch the ball from him, but he did not ask Lin Fan to be so fast! However, Lin Fan did not care so much. He turned around and quickly dribbled the ball, going for a layup. Swish! He scored again! ¡°Good shot!¡± No. 1 and No. 3 shouted in excitement. ¡°Lin Fan, are you sure you haven¡¯t played basketball for a long time?¡± Song Yi was stunned. Lin Fan nodded. Song Yi thought, ¡®If this is considered as not about playing basketball for a long time, then what my skills? ¡®Have I never played basketball before?¡¯ Chapter 26 - Love at First Sight for the Beautiful Twin Girls! Chapter 26 Love at First Sight for the Beautiful Twin Girls! After two consecutive goals, Song Yi, the tall and strong man, and the tanned man all looked anxious. So, when the new game started, the three of them went straight to the basket. They had to get a goal in the shortest time possible. However¡­ Sometimes, things always went against one¡¯s wishes. Boom! The basketball spun around the basket and rolled into it in the end. The big, tanned guy¡¯s expression changed slightly. He hurriedly jumped up, trying to grab the rebound. However, his speed was already half a beat slower. No. 3 grabbed the basketball and threw it to Lin Fan. Lin Fan¡¯s strength had won him recognition. No. 3 wanted Lin Fan to lead the team and score another goal. However, No. 3 seemed to be too excited and accidentally used too much force, causing the ball to deviate from its course. Even Lin Fan could not catch the basketball immediately. He could only let it fly out of the court. At that moment, girls in blue and red dresses walked over. They saw that the basketball was about to hit them, but it was too late to dodge. The two girls ¡®pretty faces were slightly pale, and a thin layer of sweat seeped out. At this moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of them and caught the basketball firmly. It was Lin Fan. Lin Fan turned his head and said, ¡°Are you guys okay?¡± Bright and spirited eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips¡­ At this moment, the two girls seemed to see a peerless hero descending from the sky, and it was like he had rainbow clouds under his feet. They were completely dazed. [Ding! Charm aura, love at first sight triggered!] [Ding! Charm aura, love at first sight triggered!] When Lin fan heard the notification in his mind, he was stunned. He could not help but carefully size up the two girls in front of him. Only then did he realize that apart from the color of their clothes, they looked almost exactly the same. They had the same porcelain doll-like face, the same snow-white skin, and the same perfectly developed body! They were actually twins! Lin Fan could not help but use his Eyes of Truth to observe the two of them. The girl in the blue dress. [Face Value: 95] [Favorability: 99] The girl in the red dress. [Face value: 95] [Favorability: 99] Both of them had a score of 95 points for their looks, and their favorability had reached 99 points! One had to know that the full score for appearance and favorability was only 100 points! They were definitely great beauties! Moreover, they were twin beauties who loved him to death! They had fallen for him just because he helped them block the basketball? The beautiful twin girls saw that Lin Fan kept staring at them, and their faces turned red like ripe tomatoes. ¡°Lin Fan, are you alright?¡± Song Yi asked. ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°That¡¯s good. Have some water first!¡± As Song Yi spoke, he threw the energy drink over. Lin Fan was indeed feeling a little thirsty. He unscrewed the bottle and gulped down half a bottle. Then, he threw the ball to Song Yi. The street basketball match began again! It was different from the previous game. At this moment, a pair of beautiful twins appeared on the empty basketball court. They stared at Lin Fan as he dribbled the ball, defended, and passed the ball. After Lin Fan scored, their two hearts started to beat wildly. Just as Lin Fan finished his last sip of the energy drink, the beautiful twins appeared in front of him, each holding a bottle of energy drink. ¡°Are they for me?¡± Lin Fan asked. The beautiful twin girls nodded at the same time. Lin Fan did not stand on ceremony. He took the energy drinks, opened one of the bottles, and took a sip. A smile immediately appeared on the porcelain doll-like face of the beautiful woman in the blue dress, and a small canine tooth was vaguely visible in her cherry-like mouth. The beautiful woman in the red dress had a pair of gem-like eyes that were filled with anticipation. Lin Fan hesitated for a moment, then opened the second bottle of energy drink and took a sip. Instantly, the beauty in the red dress also revealed a sweet smile. In the distance, Song Yi looked at his empty bottle of energy drink and then at the two bottles in Lin Fan¡¯s hands. He could not help but gulp. The match continued. Lin Fan had professional basketball skills, an extraordinary physique, and absolute focus. He also had an endless supply of energy drinks. With so many advantages, how could he lose? The street basketball game lasted for more than two hours. In the end, Song Yi¡¯s team lost. Song Yi lay on the ground like a dead dog and said, ¡°Lin Fan, are you sure you haven¡¯t played basketball in a long time?¡± ¡°Yup,¡± Lin Fan replied casually. When Song Yi heard this, a drop of hot sweat fell into his eyes. Instantly, turbid tears rolled down from the corner of his eyes. Lin Fan did not care much. He walked to the beautiful twins and said, ¡°Thank you for the energy drinks.¡± The beautiful twin girls shook their heads together, indicating that he was welcome. Then, they took out their phones at the same time and looked at Lin Fan with anticipation. ¡°Do you want to add me on WeChat?¡± Lin Fan asked. The beautiful twins nodded in unison. ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied. As he spoke, he opened the WeChat friend request interface. Seeing this, the beautiful twin¡¯s gem-like eyes faintly bloomed with stars, and they hurriedly added him as a friend. Then, the two of them held their phone tightly in their arms as if they were holding a precious treasure and were afraid of losing it. ¡°I¡¯m going back to my dormitory. You guys should go back early too. It¡¯s pretty hot outside,¡± Lin Fan said. The beautiful twin girls nodded their heads repeatedly. In the dormitory. After they returned, Zheng Jinbao looked at Lin Fan and Song Yi, who were covered in sweat. He smiled and asked, ¡°Lin Fan, you haven¡¯t played basketball for a long time. How was it? You were abused badly this time, weren¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say those words again!¡± Song Yi shouted. When he heard these words, he felt his heart being stabbed. ¡°You don¡¯t know this, but as long as Lin Fan gets the ball, he¡¯ll be able to shoot it accurately! We played for more than two hours and my team only got two goals. Our team only scored two goals!¡± Song Yi¡¯s movements were too big as he spoke. A drop of sweat on his forehead rolled into his eyes. Instantly, hot tears rolled down his face. Zheng Jinbao laughed and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you just play basketball? Why are you crying now?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not crying cry!¡± Song Yi retorted. However, the tears in his eyes fell again. Zheng Jinbao looked at his comical appearance and laughed even louder. Song Yi felt wronged and said, ¡°Why do I play basketball? It¡¯s just to attract girls! ¡°I play basketball in school almost every day, but none of the girls have ever asked me for my WeChat! ¡°At the end, when Lin Fan played basketball in school for the first time, a pair of twins actually took the initiative to buy drinks for him and ask for his WeChat!¡± As soon as he said this, Zheng Jinbao¡¯s smile stopped as he hurriedly asked, ¡°What? Twins? Are they pretty?¡± Fat otakus had no way to resist twins. Song Yi said, ¡°Perfect figures and baby faces. You tell me if they¡¯re pretty!¡± ¡°Heavens!¡± Zheng Jinbao shouted to the sky, and the fat on his whole body trembled. He clutched his chest as if he had been stabbed. Chapter 27 - Buying a Car When Happiness Came Too Suddenly Chapter 27 Buying a Car When Happiness Came Too Suddenly Lin Fan looked at the two of them and wanted to laugh. Step, step. At this moment, Ma Zhong slowly walked in with a few books in his arms. After he put down the book, he casually flipped through his phone. ¡°There¡¯s actually a Lamborghini Aventador at our school!¡± he exclaimed in surprise. ¡°Lamborghini Aventador?!¡± When Song Yi heard this, he immediately perked up and said excitedly, ¡°Is it really a Lamborghini Aventador? Are you sure?¡± Song Yi loved cars, especially supercars. Lamborghini was also a top-tier noble among the supercars. It was no wonder he was so excited. Ma Zhong said, ¡°Someone posted a photo on Tieba¡­¡± ¡°Hurry up and show me!¡± Song Yi said impatiently. Zheng Jinbao also leaned his head over. ¡°It¡¯s really a Lamborghini Aventador! Oh my God!¡± Song Yi shouted in excitement. ¡°I wonder which godly tycoon it is. If I had this car, I might be able to get the twins¡¯ attention, right?¡± Zheng Jinbao said. ¡°Hey, there are photos of the tycoon below. Quick, let¡¯s see if he¡¯s as handsome as me.¡± In the next moment, Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and Ma Zhong¡¯s expressions all froze. That was because the photo of the godly tycoon was Lin Fan! Song Yi said, ¡°L-Lin Fan, the owner of the Lamborghini Aventador¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s mine,¡± Lin Fan said with a smile. ¡°Heavens! Are you thinking of killing me from the shock? Not only did you win the basketball match, but the twins also bought you drinks and asked for your WeChat. Now, you even have the Lamborghini car that all men dream of! Lin Fan, if you don¡¯t let me call you ¡®Brother Fan¡¯, I¡¯ll kneel down in front of you right now!¡± Song Yi shouted. Zheng Jinbao shouted, ¡°Beauties and a sports car! My fragile heart has already been severely injured. Brother Fan, now, only a big meal can soothe my injured heart.¡± ¡°I told you guys yesterday that I would treat you guys to a big meal, but you insisted on going for a barbecue,¡± Lin Fan said with a smile. Zheng Jinbao laughed awkwardly. ¡°Well, the barbecue was just to fill our stomachs,¡± he said. Yesterday, Lin fan had indeed said that he wanted to treat the three of them to a good meal. However, Zheng Jinbao was worried that Lin Fan would spend too much. That was why they insisted on eating at the barbecue stall. Lin Fan laughed. ¡°I happen to want to buy a car. Why don¡¯t we do this? Let¡¯s go buy a car first. Then, we¡¯ll have a big meal together!¡± Song Yi asked, ¡°Don¡¯t you have a Lamborghini?¡± Why do you still want to buy a car?¡± ¡°That car¡­¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°I need to buy a bigger car.¡± ¡°What car do you want to buy?¡± Song Yi asked again. ¡°Mercedes-Benz G-Class,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°I¡¯m going to kneel in front of Brother Fan.¡± Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and Ma Zhong said in unison. ¡­ There were only two seats in the Lamborghini, but there were four people in the dormitory. Therefore, Lin Fan chose to take a taxi to the Mercedes-Benz shop. This made Song Yi feel like a child who was walking past a toy store but was forcefully pulled away by an adult. His face was full of reluctance. He had wanted to use this opportunity to experience the awesome Lamborghini. It was only when Lin Fan said that he could let him drive his Lamborghini in the future that Song Yi immediately smiled. When Lin Fan and the rest walked into the well-decorated and luxurious Mercedes-Benz 4S shop, a salesperson immediately came up to them. As a top brand, the price of Mercedes-Benz was extremely high for ordinary people. However, the salesperson did not treat Lin Fan and the others with any disrespect just because they looked like students. ¡°Welcome to Mercedes-Benz,¡± he said with a smile. ¡°Is there anything I can help you with?¡± After Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and Ma Zhong entered the 4S store, they looked around. Song Yi, in particular, ran directly to the front of a cool and grand Mercedes-Benz car and gently stroked it. ¡°This is the latest Mercedes-Benz E350,¡± the salesperson introduced. ¡°It has 299 horsepower, and its appearance is steady, but it doesn¡¯t lose out on its strength. It¡¯s very suitable for young people like you. ¡°Of course, if you don¡¯t have too many requirements for the horsepower, I recommend you to consider the E260. It looks exactly the same as the E350. ¡°The E260 has 184 horsepower. Be it the acceleration or comfort, this model is also very good. The price-performance ratio is far higher than the E350.¡± Most salespeople would love to let their customers buy expensive products. However, this salesperson took the initiative to analyze things clearly for the customer as if they were friends who had known each other for a long time. Song Yi touched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ve wasted your time. I¡¯m just looking around. He¡¯s the one who¡¯s here to buy a car.¡± As he spoke, he pointed at Lin Fan. The salesperson was not annoyed at all and said, ¡°It¡¯s not a waste of time. Now that you know about our Mercedes-Benz cars, you might just come and buy one in the future.¡± Then, he smiled at Lin Fan and asked, ¡°Fo you have a car that you like? I can introduce it to you.¡± ¡°G-Class,¡± Lin fan replied. ¡°We happen to have a new car. This way, please,¡± the salesperson said. Soon, they arrived at the other side of the 4S store. At that moment, a black G-Class, which looked like a beast, was parked in the middle. ¡°Woah! It¡¯s so awesome!¡± ¡°This is the car that a true man should drive!¡± Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and Ma Zhong were all amazed. They had seen photos of G-Class vehicles in magazines and computers, and they also thought that they were very cool. However, after seeing one for themselves, they were still stunned. The salesperson said, ¡°This is a Mercedes-Benz G500, V8, 4.0. It has a maximum power of 421 horsepower and a maximum torque of 610. With the addition of a Mature 9AT transmission, who can imagine that such a big guy can complete an acceleration of 100 kilometers in 5.9 seconds?¡± The salesperson sighed. Lin Fan said, ¡°Is it spacious?¡± ¡°It¡¯s very spacious! Not to mention in the same class, even in an SUV that¡¯s one class higher, there are few that can be a match for it!¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get this, then.¡± Lin Fan nodded. After saying that, Lin Fan took out his bank card. Seeing this, the salesperson was startled. The salesperson could not help but be stunned. What was going on? ¡®I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve introduced myself yet, right? ¡®And he didn¡¯t mention the price, did he? ¡®He¡¯s going to buy it just like that? ¡®Don¡¯t you want to discuss the price? ¡®Aren¡¯t we going to discuss the free items?¡¯ After a long time, the salesperson finally reacted and said, ¡°I forgot to tell you that this is the G500 dark night special edition. On top of the basic G500 model, there¡¯s a sports suit, many beam lights, and an adaptive near-far beam. It¡¯s 230,000 yuan more expensive than the normal G500. ¡°If you¡¯re willing to wait for a few days, we¡¯ll get a normal version very soon.¡± Lin Fan waved his hand. ¡°No need. I¡¯ll take this one.¡± ¡°Alright, alright!¡± the salesperson replied. ¡°This car, including insurance, purchase tax, and other expenses, comes to a total of 2.18 million. Would you like to pay in installments or in full?¡± ¡°The full amount.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°When can I take the car away?¡± The sales assistant said, ¡°Tomorrow morning, you can come with us to the Vehicle Administration Office to get a license plate.¡± Lin Fan thought for a moment. ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll give you 2.2 million. You help me get the plate and then send the car to my school. How about it?¡± It was already very troublesome to buy a car. Lin Fan did not want to run around again. The salesperson was slightly taken aback, and then he excitedly said, ¡°Alright, leave it to me!¡± One had to know that this car only cost 2.18 million. Now, the other party was offering to give him 2.2 million! In other words, he could get a tip of 200,000 yuan just by running an errand! Happiness came too suddenly! Chapter 28 - Call Me Sister; Medical Water Illustration Book Chapter 28 Call Me ¡®Sister¡¯; Medical Water Illustration Book Beep! The bank card swiped gently on the POS machine, making a pleasant sound. When this sound rang out, Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and Ma Zhong all came back to their senses. A car! He bought a Mercedes-Benz G-Class worth more than two million yuan just like that? Had it been three minutes from entering the shop to paying? Even if one were to buy clothes that cost 100 yuan, it would not be that fast, right? The three of them looked at Lin Fan with a look of admiration. God Lin Fan! Song Yi let out a deep sigh, his face full of hesitation. ¡°Song Yi, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°I just wanted to say that I could¡¯ve run that errand too,¡± Song Yi said. He was not spouting nonsense. He had always liked cars. He used to work in a 4S shop during the summer break. Getting a car plate number was not difficult for him at all. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°How can I let you do such a small thing? You have the potential to do great things in the future.¡± Small thing? If he could get 200,000 yuan just by applying for a license plate once, then¡­ Song Yi expressed that he wanted to do such small things for the rest of his life! After that, Lin Fan got into his car as the salesperson respectfully sent him off. Soon, they arrived at Penglai Seafood Restaurant. Penglai Seafood Restaurant was a famous seafood restaurant in Jiangbei. The entire restaurant was shaped like a huge octopus. The air in the shop was filled with the salty fragrance of the sea. Ma Zhong pointed at the crab not far away and said, ¡°What a huge crab!¡± ¡°It¡¯s obviously waiting for us to eat it.¡± Zheng Jinbao swallowed his saliva. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll have four crabs, four Australian lobsters, four pounds of mantis shrimp, and four pounds of giant oysters. As for the cooking method, you can do it however you like as long as the food tastes good,¡± Lin Fan said. Even though Lin Fan had only spent two days with his roommates ¡­ It was fate that they met. Furthermore, Lin Fan could feel that they were decent people. Therefore, he was willing to treat them to some good food. Of course, this was nothing much to Lin Fan. The waiter at the side noted down the orders one by one. Then, Lin Fan and the others were arranged to sit in a spacious private room. The chefs at Penglai Seafood Restaurant did things very efficiently. In just 10 minutes, a seafood feast with good color, smell, and taste was served. Zheng Jinbao, Song Yi, and Ma Zhong looked at the delicious food and could not help but swallow their saliva. ¡°Let¡¯s eat,¡± Lin Fan said with a smile. ¡°We won¡¯t be polite, then.¡± The three of them chuckled. As he spoke, Zheng Jinbao directly stuffed a giant oyster into his mouth and praised it, ¡°Delicious!¡± Song Yi picked up a palm-sized mantis shrimp and turned on his phone, ¡°Friends from WeChat, hello! I¡¯m going to do an eating show for everyone now. I¡¯ll eat this mantis shrimp in one bite! Please remember to like my post!¡± After saying that, he quickly removed the shell of the palm-sized mantis shrimp and stuffed it into his mouth. Ma Zhong picked up the plate filled with crabs and gnawed on them. ¡­ Jiangbei University, Dorm 502 of the female dormitory. The beautiful twins were lying on the bed, holding their phones. They looked at each other and then opened their phones to send messages. Red: [Mom, you there?] Blue: [mom, you there?] Beautiful Yan: [How many times have I told you? You have to call me ¡®Sister¡¯!] Red and Blue: [We have a boy we like.] Beautiful Yan: [There¡¯s a boy you like? Did he kiss you? Did he sleep with you? Don¡¯t tell me you already have a baby?] Red and Blue: [If you keep talking like this, we won¡¯t tell you anything else.] Beautiful Yan: [Alright, alright. Tell me quickly. Who is it that has attracted my two younger sisters?] There was no need for the beautiful twins to explain. Their mother already knew that the two of them definitely liked the same person. That was because they had the same hobbies since they were young. Red and Blue: [We don¡¯t know who he is either.] Beautiful Yan: [Then how did you guys fall for him?] Red: [He¡¯s tall, handsome, and a hero!] Blue: [Also, he can play basketball. He saved us.] Beautiful Yan: [Basketball? Very tall? Very handsome? He does sound attractive. By the way, did he confess to you guys?] Red: [I still don¡¯t know if he likes me or not.] Blue: [But we added him on WeChat.] Beautiful Yan: [Then there¡¯s definitely no problem! Oh right, give me his WeChat username.] However, after a long time, no one replied. Beautiful Yan: [Hey, hey, where are you guys? What about his WeChat username?] The twin beauties did not even care about her. They were staring at Lin Fan¡¯s chat box. After a long time, they opened the dialog box and quickly typed a message. Red: [Hey, are you asleep? Thank you for stopping the basketball and saving me.] Blue: [Hi, are you asleep? Thank you stopping the basketball and saving me.] for The two of them wrote a long paragraph of words, but when their slender fingers were getting closer and closer to the send button, they could not press it no matter what. It was as if there was an invisible wall between their fingers and the screen. The female dormitory, Dorm 606. Sitting by the window, a beautiful girl in a white dress was reading an economics book seriously. After a long time, she put down her book, picked up her phone, and casually scrolled through it. At that moment, someone posted a photo of the Lamborghini and Prince Charming Lin Fan in the school¡¯s group chat. Seeing this, she was startled. The expressionless face of the beautiful woman in the white dress changed slightly, and she said softly, ¡°ALF666 is Lin Fan? I didn¡¯t expect to meet you so soon.¡± After saying that, the beautiful woman in the white dress smiled and looked at the starry sky through the window with her black eyes. ¡­ Lin Fan had no way of knowing any of this. After spending more than 20,000 yuan at Penglai Seafood Restaurant, he returned to his dormitory. Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and Ma Zhong were all lying on the bed with their round bellies, groaning and moaning. They did not want to move at all. They had eaten too much. Lin Fan looked at their pained and happy expressions and did not know whether to laugh or cry. Then, he took out his phone and looked at the bright red packet on the screen. He muttered in his heart, ¡®222 red packets. Let¡¯s see what I can get.¡¯ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,00 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a Medical Water Illustration Card.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 30,000 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received the skill ¡®Pianist-Level Performance¡¯.] Out of the 222 red packets, Lin Fan received a total of 550,000 yuan. Lin Fan was not too bothered by this. His gaze fell directly on the medical water illustration card and Pianist-Level Performance. [Pianist-Level Performance: playing beautiful music can increase charm!] [Medical Water Illustration Card: Collect 100-year-old ginseng and 100-year-old spiritual branch, then obtain the right to purchase Medical Water. Note: Medical Water is a godly potion that can heal all wounds on the human body.] The moment Lin Fan saw this, his eyes lit up. The feeling of having his hands dance freely on the black and white keys would definitely be not bad. The Medical Water Illustration Card could even allow him to purchase Medical Water that could heal all wounds on the human body! Lin Tao¡¯s surgery was very successful. However, his body was still severely injured. If he had Medical Water, he would be able to completely treat Lin Tao¡¯s body! Obtain! He had to get it! Chapter 29 - Teacher Tiantian Asks Lin Fan to Come On Stage Chapter 29 Teacher Tiantian Asks Lin Fan to Come On Stage [Name: Lin Fan] [Level: LV4] [Level 4 reward: 10 yuan for every breath; 10 yuan for every second of sleep; 10 yuan for every step taken.

Ring, ring, ring. Almost at the same time, three different bells rang in the dormitory. Ma Zhong, Song Yi, and Zheng Jinbao, who were originally sleeping soundly, sat up from the bed together and quickly put on their clothes. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you guys?¡± Lin Fan asked. Yesterday, they took a long time before they got up unwillingly. Today, they were like completely different people. ¡°It¡¯s teacher Tiantian¡¯s class! It¡¯s teacher Tiantian¡¯s class!¡± Zheng Jinbao shouted. Lin Fan was still puzzled, but he still washed up and got dressed. On the way to the classroom, Lin Fan saw the three of them walking anxiously and asked, ¡°Is Teacher Tiantian¡¯s class very important?¡± ¡°It¡¯s important! It¡¯s too important! I feel uncomfortable if I go without seeing Teacher Tiantian for a day!¡± Zheng Jinbao said. ¡°Brother Fan, let¡¯s go!¡± Song Yi said. ¡°Otherwise, there won¡¯t be any seats left later.¡± No seats? The university classrooms were very spacious. Lin Fan had been going to classes for the past two days, and there were many empty seats in the classroom each time. Would there be no seats today? Lin Fan was filled with questions as he finally arrived at the classroom. It was only now that he understood why Song Yi and the others had said that. There were still more than ten minutes before class started. However, the classroom was already filled with people. Zheng Jinbao pointed to the last row and said excitedly, ¡°There are still four seats left. Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s hurry over. Don¡¯t let anyone else take them.¡± When Lin Fan and the others sat down, all the seats were filled. Those who entered the classroom now could only sigh helplessly and leave after seeing the seating arrangement. ¡°Why are there so many people in this teacher¡¯s class?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°You¡¯ll know later,¡± Song Yi said excitedly. Ring! At this moment, the school bell rang. In an instant, the originally chaotic classroom became as quiet as a pin drop. Step, step, step. A series of crisp footsteps approached from afar. Soon, a beautiful woman walked to the podium. She had long hair that fell like a waterfall, and on her delicate face, she had willow-leaf eyebrows, slender eyes, a small nose, and a cherry-like mouth. She was wearing a white dress that outlined her perfect body. In addition, she exuded a special charm that made people unable to move their heads away from her. Lin Fan could not help but use his Eyes of Truth to observe her. [Appearance: 98] [Favorability: 60 ] A face value of 98! It was close to full marks! Perhaps all the classic poems were about her. It was no wonder that his classmates were in such a hurry to attend her class. A favorability score of 60? He had reached the passing line of 60 points! She seemed to have a good impression of him! Could it be that she was a teacher who treated every student as a friend? At this moment, Hu Tian, who was standing on the podium, said, ¡°Today, we¡¯ll continue the lesson on advanced algebra.¡± Her voice was as sweet and magnetic as her name, making people not want to miss a single word. After a while, Hu Tian wrote a question on the blackboard. [Find all the prime numbers P, Q R, and make p^q+p^r a completely square number.] ¡°Everyone can try to answer it,¡± Hu Tian said. All the students immediately picked up their pens and began to write on the draft paper. They wanted to use the shortest amount of time to solve the problem and gain Hu Tian¡¯s attention. However, very quickly, all the students started to scratch their ears and cheeks. They did not know how to answer. ¡°Ma Zhong, you still haven¡¯t answered it?¡± Zheng Jinbao anxiously asked. ¡°It¡¯s already been so long!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious!¡± Ma Zhong said. ¡°Don¡¯t let anyone beat you to it! If you can¡¯t answer it, then I hope that no one else can!¡± Song Yi silently prayed. Hu Tian¡¯s eyes were as bright as water as she scanned the classroom as if she was looking for someone who could answer the questions. Unfortunately, no one raised their hands to answer the question. ¡°Lin Fan, can you come over and answer the question?¡± Hu Tian asked. Lin Fan stood up slowly. Instantly, all the students ¡®gazes fell on Lin Fan. Their gazes were full of envy and jealousy! Lin Fan did not understand why Hu Tian would suddenly call him out. ¡®I didn¡¯t raise my hand, did I?¡¯ Lin Fan first looked at the question on the blackboard and thought for a moment. Then, he walked to the podium and picked up the chalk to write quickly. [If Q=r, then p^q+p^r=2p^q. Therefore, p=2, and Q is a prime number.] [Therefore, (2, Q, Q) is the group of three prime numbers that meets the conditions] ¡­ [In summary: [ (2,2,5), (2,5,2) ;] [ (3,2,3), (3,3,2) ;] [ (2,q,q), (q¡±=3)] Soon, a large number of equations were written on the blackboard, and the answer was finally obtained. ¡°Yes,¡± Hu Tian nodded and said. ¡°The answer is correct. Moreover, it¡¯s even simpler than the calculation method I thought of.¡± ¡°But, this is still not the easiest way to solve the problem,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Oh?¡± Hu Tian¡¯s interest was piqued. Then, under Hu Tian¡¯s expectant gaze, Lin Fan wrote down the steps to solve the problem, which was almost simplified by half. When Hu Tian saw this, her beautiful eyes brightened as she exclaimed in admiration, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect prime numbers to be calculated like this.¡± After a moment of silence, Hu Tian said, ¡°If we use this method, perhaps¡­¡± Hu Tian could not help but quickly write on the blackboard. [Q=p1m1+b1=p2m2+b2¡­pkmk+bk] [Q=41=2m+1=3m+2=5m+1] Not long after, Hu Tian stopped writing. that Then, she looked at Lin Fan with a gaze was seeking help. ¡°Twin Prime Number Conjecture?¡± Lin Fan asked. Ever since he received Professor-Level Mathematics Experience, he had a lot of mathematics-related information in his brain. Of course, he knew about the world-class problem, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture. ¡°Yes.¡± Hu Tian nodded. Lin Fan picked up a piece of chalk and quickly wrote down something below Hu Tian¡¯s formulas. However, even with Lin Fan¡¯s Professor-Level Mathematics Experience and Absolute Focus, if he couldn¡¯t trigger the 5% flash of inspiration, he wouldn¡¯t be able to solve the Twin Prime Conjecture. After a while, Lin Fan also stopped. ¡°What do you think of the above calculations if we change it to p^q+ QB = 3m +2?¡± Lin Fan thought for a moment and shook his head. ¡°No, let¡¯s change it to 5P5m +p^q.¡± The two of them discussed as they wrote down the steps to solve the problem. Very soon, the entire blackboard was filled with densely packed calculations. Chapter 30 - Song Jiaxin: We Meet Again Chapter 30 Song Jiaxin: We Meet Again Lin Fan looked at the blackboard, which had no more space to write on. He put down the chalk in his hand and said, ¡°The Twin Prime Number Conjecture is a huge project that needs to be carefully studied and explored. ¡°Let¡¯s end it here for today.¡± Hu Tian nodded in agreement and said, ¡°Can we exchange contact information? It¡¯ll make it easier for us to discuss at any time.¡± ¡°Of course, we can,¡± Lin Fan replied. Then, the two of them took out their phones and added each other¡¯s WeChat and mobile numbers. Ring! It was at this time that the bell that marked the end of class rang. Hu Tian slowly left the classroom. All the students¡¯ eyes were fixed on the podium and on Lin Fan. Their eyes were red. One lesson! An entire lesson! Hu Tian and Lin Fan stood together and discussed the problem for an entire lesson! In the end, they even added each other¡¯s WeChat and mobile numbers. Hu Tian¡¯s WeChat and mobile number! Envy! Jealousy! If looks could kill, Lin Fan¡¯s heart would have been pierced by a thousand arrows and he would have been cut into pieces! Lin Fan touched his nose and returned to his seat. ¡°Teacher Tiantian! Teacher Tiantian actually took the initiative to add Brother Fan as a friend on WeChat. Oh my God!¡± Song Yi shouted to the sky. ¡°I know I won¡¯t have the chance to add Teacher Tiantian on WeChat, but Brother Fan, please let me see Teacher Tiantian¡¯s Moments. I hope that my wish in this life will be fulfilled!¡± After Zheng Jinbao finished speaking, he immediately hugged Lin Fan¡¯s thigh. Lin Fan did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw how the two of them were acting. ¡°Brother Fan, can you teach me how to calculate this?¡± After Ma Zhong said this, he could not help but blush. Yesterday, he had told him that if he had any questions, he could ask him at any time. In the end, he had to ask Lin Fan instead. In this regard, he was stunned. Lin Fan was not too bothered. He easily answered Ma Zhong¡¯s question and then sent Zheng Jinbao and Song Yi away. At this point, his ears finally regained their peace. At this moment, a faint fragrance drifted over. Then, a beautiful figure appeared beside him. Her facial features were sweet, her skin was smooth, and her black hair fell naturally on her slender shoulders. She was as gentle as water, quiet, and elegant. ¡°Lin Fan, we meet again. My name is Song Jiaxin.¡± As song Jiaxin spoke, she took the initiative to stretch out her slender hand. ¡®We meet again?¡¯ Lin Fan secretly used his Eyes of Truth to observe Song Jiaxin. [Appearance: 95] [Favorability: 60] Another great beauty! In addition, his favorability had reached 60. This Song Jiaxin seemed to have a good impression of him? However, he did not know her at all. Even though he was suspicious, Lin Fan still extended his hand and said, ¡°Hello, have we met before?¡± ¡°A few days ago, you drove a Lamborghini and easily overtook my Ferrari on the highway,¡± Song Jiaxin said. When Lin Fan heard that, he suddenly remembered and said, ¡°So, it¡¯s you.¡± That day, after Lin Fan found out that his father, Lin Tao, was seriously ill, he wanted to return to Qing City in the shortest time possible. Thus, he drove at the fastest speed he could. On the way, he saw a Ferrari driving at high speed. However, Lin Fan did not pay attention to the driver of the Ferrari. Song Jiaxin said, ¡°You remember. I rarely see someone of my age with such good skills. Could you add me on WeChat?¡± ¡°Of course,¡± Lin Fan said. Beep! With a light ring, the two successfully added each other as friends. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s talk again when we¡¯re free,¡± Song Jiaxin said. After speaking, Song Jiaxin turned around and left. At the side, Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and Ma Zhong had their mouths in an ¡®O¡¯ shape. They slowly closed their mouths. ¡°Brother Fan, can you let me see Song Jiaxin¡¯s Moments?¡± Zheng Jinbao said in a daze. Song Yi looked up and shouted, ¡°Heavens!¡± First, it was the beautiful twin girls who added Brother Fan on WeChat. Then, it was Teacher Tiantian who added Brother Fan on WeChat. Now, even the ice queen Song Jiaxin has added Brother Fan on WeChat! ¡°Brother Fan, you¡¯re my brother!¡± ¡°Brother Fan, you¡¯re really too amazing,¡± Ma Zhong said in a daze. Lin Fan only laughed in response to their lamentations. ¡­ Female dormitory, Room 502. The beautiful twin girls stared at Lin Fan¡¯s WeChat without blinking. After a long time, they opened the dialog box. They continued to type the message they had edited yesterday. Red: [Hey, are you asleep? Thank you for stopping the basketball and saving me. The moon is so round today. Did you see it? I didn¡¯t see you play basketball today. Will you play tomorrow?] Blue: [Hi, are you asleep? Thank you for stopping the basketball and saving me. The moon is so round today. Did you see it? I didn¡¯t see you play basketball today. Will you play tomorrow?] Then, the two of them stretched out their slender fingers, wanting to click ¡®send¡¯. However, just as they were about to touch the screen, they stopped simultaneously and could not press it. ¡­ For the next two days, Lin Fan was extremely relaxed and satisfied. The red packets he received at 12 o¡¯clock every day were all cash. In addition to the cash he earned from walking, sleeping, and breathing, Lin Fan¡¯s funds had already reached 15 million. On this day, Lin Fan had just finished class and was walking back to his dormitory. Ring! The phone in his pocket vibrated slightly. Lin Fan casually looked at his phone. It was a WeChat message from Song Jiaxin. Song Jiaxin: [There¡¯s a car race tonight. Are you interested in joining us?] Lin Fan had nothing to do at night anyway. Then, he thought of the satisfying feeling of racing. Hence, he replied to the message. [Alright.] ¡­ It was nine o¡¯clock in the evening. The night was as dark as ink. There was only a crescent moon hanging in the sky like a boat. Song Jiaxin sat in the front passenger seat of the Lamborghini and asked, ¡°Your car doesn¡¯t seem to have undergone any modifications.¡± ¡°Yeah,¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Then how did you go so fast a few days ago?¡± Song Jiaxin said. ¡°Maybe because it has 700 horsepower?¡± Lin Fan said. Song Jiaxin choked. Of course, she knew that the Lamborghini had 700 horsepower, but without a modified tail, custom-made wheels, and engine adjustments, its speed would only be that. At this moment, at the foot of East Mountain Road, more than a dozen cool sports cars had gathered. Nearly 20 young and beautiful men and women were gathered together. They were all well-known rich second generations in Jiangbei. Boom! Finally, Lin Fan¡¯s Lamborghini stopped behind them. When some people saw Song Jiaxin, they all greeted her. ¡°It¡¯s Sister Jiaxin!¡± ¡°Big Sister Jiaxin, did you change your car?¡± ¡°No, this is my friend, Lin Fan¡¯s, car.¡± Song Jiaxin shook her head. ¡°Lin Fan?¡± Only then did the crowd start to size Lin Fan up. A man in an Armani shirt said, ¡°Sis Jiaxin, he can¡¯t be your boyfriend, right?¡± ¡°We¡¯re classmates,¡± Song Jiaxin replied. Boom! Boom! At this moment, a beast-like roar came from the distance. Then, a black Lamborghini and a royal blue McLaren P1 drove past them together. Finally, they stopped firmly in front of everyone. ¡°It¡¯s Liu Yuhang and Sun Luguo!¡± ¡°The two of them have been fighting for years, right? I didn¡¯t expect the smell of gunpowder to be so strong right as they showed up.¡± ¡°After all, Liu Pharmaceuticals and Sun Pharmaceuticals have been fighting for decades. They can be considered enemies.¡± The crowd whispered and discussed. Lin Fan¡¯s expression changed slightly. For the past few days, Lin Fan had been thinking of all sorts of ways to get his hands on the hundred-year-old ginseng and the hundred-year-old spirit branch. Liu Pharmaceuticals and Sun Pharmaceuticals were both well-known pharmaceutical companies in Jiang province. There might be some hope in getting those things through them. Chapter 31 - Safety Is The Most Important In Car Racing! Chapter 31 Safety Is The Most Important In Car Racing! Soon, two young men of medium build walked out of the Lamborghini and the McLaren P1. The two of them looked at each other, and there were faint sparks flashing between their eyes. They were full of provocation. After a while, Sun Luguo, who was wearing a white shirt, said, ¡°Big Sister Jiaxin, I didn¡¯t expect you to be here.¡± Song Jiaxin said, ¡°It¡¯s rare for it to be so lively. Of course, I can¡¯t miss it. What¡¯s the game today?¡± ¡°That Sun Luguo insists on giving me his P1. Although it¡¯s a little ugly on the outside, I can still reluctantly accept it,¡± said Liu Yuhang, clad in a plaid shirt. ¡°Shameless!¡± Sun Luguo grunted. ¡°Big Sister Jiaxin, Liu Yuhang and I are having a race. We¡¯re going to run a lap along East Mountain Road. The bet is my McLaren P1 and his Lamborghini.¡± Liu Yuhang called out, ¡°Everyone, you may all join the match! If you win, the McLaren P1 and the Lamborghini will be yours!¡± Sun Luguo frowned slightly when he heard this, but he did not say anything. After hearing Liu Yuhang¡¯s words, the crowd burst into cheers. Even though everyone present had assets of at least a hundred million, they could not buy the McLaren P1 and the Lamborghini so easily. The McLaren P1 was a supercar that was worth 14 million. Liu Yuhang¡¯s Lamborghini had cost a lot of money to modify, and it was probably worth more than 14 million. In other words, once they won the race, they would immediately receive two sports cars that were worth at least 28 million combined. How could they not be excited? Liu Yuhang¡¯s mood improved when he saw how happy everyone was. ¡°Big Sister Jiaxin, you didn¡¯t drive your Ferrari EF90 over today?¡± ¡°I came here with my friend.¡± Song Jiaxin tilted her head and asked, ¡°Lin Fan, are you going to participate in the competition?¡± ¡°Might as well, since I¡¯m here,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Do you mind if I become your navigator?¡± Song Jiaxin asked with a smile. ¡°It¡¯d be an honor,¡± Lin Fan said. Liu Yuhang could not help but secretly size up Lin Fan. To be able to get close to Song Jiaxin, there must be more to him than meets the eye. ¡°Brother Lin, so you like racing too! We¡¯re totally vibing! However, I think your Aventador hasn¡¯t been modified at all,¡± Liu Yuhang said with a smile. ¡°Yes, in fact, I¡¯ve only had it for a few days,¡± Lin Fan said. Liu Yuhang nodded and said, ¡°I see. Brother Lin, I have some experience in modifying Lamborghini cars. If you want to modify it in the future, you can contact me at any time. I guarantee that you¡¯ll be satisfied!¡± ¡°If I need to modify it, I¡¯ll definitely contact you,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°It¡¯s a shame you¡¯ll be going up against me tonight, Brother Lin,¡± Liu Yuhang said. ¡°Otherwise, we might have been able to have a good fight today.¡± Obviously, he was implying that since Lin Fan¡¯s car had not been modified, its performance could not keep up with his Lamborghini. There was no way Lin Fan could overtake him. ¡°We can still compete today,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Brother Lin, you¡¯re very confident! I like people like you! Good, hahaha!¡± Liu Yuhang laughed. Liu Yuhang looked like a rough chad. However, he was very meticulous. He could easily establish any form of connection with others by exchanging a few words. It had to be said that none of these rich second generations were simpletons. ¡°It¡¯s about time!¡± Liu Yuhang called out. ¡°Ladies and gents, get ready for the competition!¡± Those who wanted to participate in the race heard this and got into their sports cars. In the end, a total of eight cars were participating in the race. The rest of the people also wanted to win the McLaren P1 and Lamborghini. However, they knew very well that whether it was their driving skills or the performance of their own cars, they could not win at all. Since that was the case, there was no need to participate. By doing this, they could avoid embarrassing themselves. Song Jiaxin, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, asked, ¡°Have you ever driven on East Mountain Road before?¡± ¡°No,¡± Lin Fan shook his head. Song Jiaxin could not help but tighten her grip on the armrest. ¡°Later, you can drive slowly. This road is quite narrow. Moreover, there are many sharp turns, so safety is the most important.¡± It was obvious that Song Jiaxin did not have any hope that Lin Fan would win. Even though she had already seen Lin Fan¡¯s outstanding driving skills, the unfamiliar roads and the inherent shortcomings of ordinary vehicles were not something that driving skills could overcome. ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Fan nodded. At this time, the referee standing in front of the cars waved the red flag in his hand. Boom! Instantly, a deafening rumble sounded at the foot of the mountain. Then, the eight supercars galloped forward like wild beasts. Out of the eight cars, Lin Fan¡¯s Lamborghini seemed to have the most average performance. However, with his professional driving skills, he overtook three cars and easily got into fourth place. Song Jiaxin looked at Lin Fan¡¯s familiar movements and nodded her head. ¡°There¡¯s an S-shaped curve one kilometer ahead.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied. As he finished speaking, his bright black eyes stared straight ahead. Be focused. Be calm! However, he did not even lift his foot off of the accelerator. On the contrary, he kept accelerating and accelerating! 200 km per hour! 210 km per hour! Song Jiaxin saw that they were getting closer and closer to the corner, and her heart was beating wildly. She could not help but ask again, ¡°L-Lin Fan, it¡¯s an S-shaped curve ahead. It was no wonder Song Jiaxin was so nervous. It was a mountain road! If they hit the railing at 200 km per hour, the car would be destroyed and the people inside would die. Luck played no role in the matter! Finally, the Lamborghini arrived at the bend. Lin Fan still did not slow down! Song Jiaxin¡¯s face turned pale. Her beautiful forehead and palms were covered in sweat. Just as Song Jiaxin thought that they were going to hit the railing, Lin Fan finally moved. Screech! Lin Fan turned the steering wheel and the entire car was like a nimble fish. With a beautiful drift, it passed through the S-shaped curve. At the foot of the mountain. The rich second generations stared at the screen and let out a burst of exclamations. ¡°F*ck! That drift is simply too awesome!¡± ¡°I thought they were going to crash!¡± ¡°An expert! That was definitely a expert! ¡­ After the S-turn, it was a straight road ahead. ¡°L-Lin Fan, safety is the most important.¡± Song Jiaxin heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Yeah,¡± Lin Fan replied. Then, he stepped even harder on the accelerator. The car sped up again. 240 km per hour! 250 km per hour! Whoosh! Song Jiaxin only heard a whistling sound in her ears, and the scenery outside the window rapidly passed by. Song Jiaxin was stunned for a moment before she looked at the map, ¡°Lin Fan, there¡¯s a 90-degree turn one kilometer ahead!¡± ¡°Okay,¡± he said. Then, he sped up again! 260 km per hour! Boom! Safety was the most important, but even if there was a 90-degree turn ahead, he kept accelerating! This was the first time¡­ This was the first time Song Jiaxin felt fear and regret. Chapter 32 - Give Up or Die Chapter 32 Give Up or Die Finally, Lin Fan¡¯s Lamborghini arrived at the bend. It was at this moment that Lin Fan made his move! He turned the steering wheel again and successfully made a 90-degree sharp turn. However, the Lamborghini¡¯s speed did not slow down at all. It easily surpassed the Porsche 918, which was in third place. At this moment, Song Jiaxin¡¯s jade-like hand that was holding onto the handle had already become slippery due to sweat. She could not help but remind Lin Fan again, ¡°Lin Fan, you still have to be careful. This is a mountain road.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. He stepped hard on the accelerator and sped up again. Seeing this, she was startled. Song Jiaxin opened her mouth but did not say anything. She was worried that if she continued to speak, she would be in even more danger. ¡­ At the foot of the mountain. The second-generation nouveau riche stared at the screen and started shouting again. ¡°F*ck, his drifting skills are amazing!¡± ¡°Could this big shot be a professional racer?¡± ¡°That¡¯s too awesome!¡± ¡°It would be great if I had half of his skill!¡± ¡­ At this time, Sun Luguo was driving the McLaren P1, and Liu Yuhang¡¯s modified Lamborghini was almost right next to him. Sun Luguo glanced at Liu Yuhang and coldly said, ¡°I¡¯ll shake you off at the next bend!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll let you eat my fart later!¡± Liu Yuhang grunted. Boom! At this moment, the two of them heard a beast-like roar behind them. They understood the cars and skills of the people in their circle. Logically speaking, they had already left them far behind, so no one should be able to catch up. Sun Luguo and Liu Yuhang looked at their respective rearview mirrors with doubt in their hearts. The next moment, both of them were stunned. The Lamborghini Aventador. It was him-Lin Fan! Liu Yuhang was the most shocked. He was a Lamborghini expert. He was very clear about the difference in performance between a Lamborghini without any modifications and his own. Even so, Lin Fan still managed to catch up! How did Lin Fan do it? Even though he was surprised and confused, Liu Yuhang and Sun Luguo did not slow down at all. In fact, they even went slightly faster. Originally, it was only the two of them competing. Now, there was another competitor. This gave them a sense of invisible pressure. Song Jiaxin, who was sitting in the front passenger seat of the Lamborghini, saw the two cars in front of her. A hint of joy appeared in her heart. At the start, Song Jiaxin did not think about winning the competition. Now, she saw a glimmer of hope. Very quickly, Song Jiaxin discovered that she was happy too early. Boom! The Lamborghini roared. 260 km per hour! 265 km per hour! His speed increased once again! ¡°Lin Fan, there¡¯s a sharp V-shaped turn one kilometer ahead!¡± Song Jiaxin quickly said. Boom! The Lamborghini roared again. 270 km! His speed continued to increase! Did she not make herself clear? There was a sharp V-shaped curve one kilometer ahead! In addition, there were also modified versions of the McLaren P1 and Lamborghini in front of them! Should he not slow down at this time? Why did he speed up? ¡­ Sun luguo, who was driving a McLaren P1, and Liu Yuhang, who was driving a modified Lamborghini, were very clear about the route of East Mountain Road. They knew that there was a V-turn in front of them. The two of them had already planned to slow down. However, when they saw the Lamborghini in their rearview mirrors, their expressions changed. If they were to slow down, Lin Fan would definitely overtake them. As a result, neither of them slowed down at the first moment. The two of them did not step on the brakes until they were very close to the V-turn. They knew that if they did not slow down, they would be in danger. Racing was important. However, their lives were more important. Lin Fan, on the other hand, seemed to think differently. He continued to drive at high speed without any intention of slowing down. It looked like he was rushing toward the cliff. Song Jiaxin was completely flustered. She anxiously said, ¡°Lin Fan, hurry up and slow down!¡± Boom! 275 km! 280 km! The Lamborghini¡¯s speed increased again! It was as if Lin Fan did not hear Song Jiaxin¡¯s words. His pair of black eyes were still staring straight ahead. He did not hear her? In truth, Lin Fan really did not hear her. [Ding! Absolute Focus activated, a flash of inspiration attained!] Lin Fan was completely immersed in driving. Absolute Focus! He was absolutely calm! Everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him. At that moment, Lin Fan only had one thought in his mind, ¡®Faster, faster, even faster!¡¯ Finally, his Lamborghini arrived at the V-turn. On the other hand, the McLaren P1 and the Lamborghini that had been modified sped to the curve one step ahead of the others. The mountain road was very narrow. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Lin Fan to overtake them at the V-shaped turn. At that moment, Song Jiaxin felt that Lin Fan had two choices. One, he could step on the brakes and drift 720 degrees on the spot while trying to stop the car. Two, he could hit the McLaren P1 and the Lamborghini in front of them, causing a severe car accident. Lin Fan did not step on the brakes. It was obvious that he had made the second choice. Song Jiaxin¡¯s face was pale as cold sweat rolled down her face. Her heart was already in her throat. At this time, she used all her strength to hold the handle of the car and was no longer able to say anything. ¡°Is that guy crazy?¡± Sun Luguo cried out in shock as a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. ¡°F*ck!¡± Liu Yuhang screamed in a panic. Hiss! Finally, Lin Fan¡¯s Lamborghini made a beautiful turn. The Lamborghini on the left was a modified one that was almost sticking to the one in the middle. Liu Yuhang, who was sitting in the modified Lamborghini, could clearly see Lin Fan and Song Jiaxin. As for Song Jiaxin, she could see the railing that was less than one centimeter away from her, as well as the tires in the rearview mirror. Song Jiaxin¡¯s entire body was completely frozen. In the next second, perhaps she, Lin Fan, and even Liu Yuhang and Sun Luguo, would all die on the spot! Boom She only saw Lin Fan increase his speed again. His Lamborghini was like the king of beasts, and it was the first to pop its head out. Then, with the momentum that could command the world, he passed the V-shaped curve and sped forward. The modified Lamborghini and the McLaren P1 were following behind. They wanted to catch up, but they had completely lost the chance. ¡­ At the foot of the mountain. ¡°F*ck! F*ck! What the f*ck just happened?!¡± ¡°I thought ¡°Who can tell me what just happened?¡± they were going to crash into the cars! I was almost scared to death!¡± ¡°He¡¯s a professional race driver, no! Even a professional racer can¡¯t do that!¡± All the rich second-generation nobles were dumbfounded, and they jumped and shouted in excitement. It was because the scene in the video was too exciting and incredible. Chapter 33 - Rejecting the 28 Million Yuan Luxury Cars; Looking For Medicinal Herbs Instead! Chapter 33 Rejecting the 28 Million Yuan Luxury Cars; Looking For Medicinal Herbs Instead! Even after overtaking all the other cars and taking first place, Lin Fan still did not slow down. The Lamborghini he was driving was drifting wildly in the dark night! They finally arrived at the foot of the mountain, where the second-generation nouveau riche were standing in a line to welcome them. Creak! Creak! Lin Fan opened the car door and slowly walked out. The second-generation nouveau riche quickly gathered around. ¡°Brother Fan, your skills are really amazing!¡± ¡°I was dumbfounded by those few drifts!¡± ¡°Brother Fan, are you a professional racer? Did you win a few championships?¡± ¡°God of Racing! Brother Fan, you must be the legendary God of Racing!¡± Lin Fan looked at how excited the rich kids were and could not help but laugh. ¡°I¡¯m not a professional racer. I¡¯m a student right now, and I¡¯m in the same class as Song Jiaxin¡± Then, Lin Fan looked at Song Jiaxin, whose face was a little pale. He asked, ¡°Are you alright?¡± Song Jiaxin shook her head and said nothing. When Lin Fan continued to speed up even after a sharp turn, Song Jiaxin was truly terrified. In fact, her clothes were completely drenched in sweat. However, at the same time, she also felt extremely excited! Her adrenaline was surging! Now that Lin Fan had successfully handled those curves and obtained first place with his extreme speed, Song Jiaxin felt an inexplicable sense of excitement. At this moment, Song Jiaxin¡¯s mind was filled with images of Lin Fan¡¯s appearance when he was so focused on driving. Her heart started to beat faster. Boom! Boom! After a series of rumbling sounds, the modified Lamborghini, McLaren P1, Porsche 918, and other vehicles arrived at the foot of the mountain. Liu Yuhang was the first to walk up to Lin Fan. He gave him a thumbs-up and complimented him, ¡°Awesome! Brother Lin Fan, your driving skills are amazing! ¡°You said that you could compete with me today, but you were too humble. ¡°How is this a competition? You were simply torturing me! ¡°To be honest, when we were passing the V-turn, I thought I was gonna be dead when I saw you rushing over so quickly! ¡°F*ck! I was so scared that I almost peed my pants!¡± Liu Yuhang shivered as he spoke. It seemed like he had not recovered from the shock. ¡°You¡¯re the best driver I¡¯ve ever seen!¡± Sun Luguo said seriously. ¡°You guys are overpraising me.¡± Lin Fan smiled. Liu Yuhang said, ¡°How is this an overpraise? This is the truth!¡± As he spoke, he took out the car keys of the Lamborghini and said, ¡°I¡¯ll leave this car to you. I¡¯ll be at ease with you as its owner!¡± Sun Luguo also took out the keys to the McLaren P1. It was obvious that they were going to fulfill their bet. ¡°I don¡¯t want the cars,¡± Lin Fan said, waving his hand. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, are you joking? We had an agreement before the competition. If you don¡¯t take the cars now, won¡¯t you make people think that we can¡¯t afford to lose?¡± Liu Yuhang said with a straight face. ¡°I¡¯m willing to accept my loss,¡± Sun Luguo said. Lin Fan said, ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand. It¡¯s mainly because I¡¯m studying in school. If I have so many cars, I¡¯ll have a problem figuring out where to put them.¡± He was definitely not spouting nonsense. Generally speaking, each student could park at most one car in the school. Two days ago, when the 4S store had sent the Mercedes-Benz G-Class over, Lin Fan had to call the dean of the School of Mathematics, Hu Chuan, before he could successfully park the car in the school. If there were two more cars, it would really be a little troublesome for Lin Fan. ¡°If you really want to fulfill the bet, then help me look out for a hundred-year ginseng and a hundred-year spirit branch,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°If you tell me where I can get them, I¡¯ll be extremely grateful. As for the cars, they¡¯re really not of much use to me.¡± When Lin Fan said this, his tone became extremely serious. When the two of them heard Lin Fan say that, they did not insist anymore. Liu Yuhang hesitated and said, ¡°Uhh, this isn¡¯t appropriate, right? Brother Lin Fan, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll have Liu Pharmaceuticals do our best to help you find the 100-year-old ginseng and 100-year-old spirit branch.¡± ¡°Sun Pharmaceuticals will also help you find the 100-year ginseng and 100-year spirit branch as soon as possible,¡± Sun Luguo said. After the two of them said this, they heaved a sigh of relief. If Lin Fan had just accepted their supercars, they naturally would not have said anything. However, they would still feel a little heartache. After all, their supercars were worth 14 million. Now, helping him find medicinal herbs was simply a small matter to them. Lin Fan was happy. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, thank you both.¡± The 100-year ginseng and 100-year spirit branch could give him the right to buy Medical Water. This was what he was desperate to get. When the crowd saw Lin Fan reject the two sports cars so calmly, they could not help but sigh in their hearts. The two supercars were worth 28 million in total! He rejected them without even blinking. Instantly, they felt that Lin Fan was even more mysterious. As for the reason why Lin Fan did not accept the sports car, they did not think that it was because he was afraid of offending Liu Yuhang and Sun Luguo. That was not even within their consideration. Would a man who was so close to Song Jiaxin be afraid of offending others? Was that a joke? After that, Lin Fan, Liu Yuhang, Sun Luguo, and the others chatted for a while. They also exchanged contact information. With everyone sending him off, Lin Fan drove Song Jiaxin to Jiangbei University. At that moment, there was no need to rush or race. Lin Fan drove the Lamborghini steadily. It did not look like he was driving a supercar but a small car. It was quiet and peaceful! A gentleman¡¯s gentleness was like this. Song Jiaxin could not help but laugh. ¡°It¡¯s really hard to imagine that you¡¯re the crazy person who raced on East Mountain Road without any regard for your life just now¡­¡± Lin Fan rubbed his nose and said, ¡°A madman who doesn¡¯t care about his life? I still treasure my life a lot.¡± ¡®Treasure your life? ¡®You increased your speed to 280 km/h to go through the V-shaped curve, yet you¡¯re saying that you value your life? you have any misunderstanding about how much you value your life?¡¯ ¡®Do Even now, whenever Song Jiaxin recalled that scene, her heart would still beat fast. ¡°Oh right, why would someone like you major in mathematics?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Then, what do you think a person like me should major in?¡± Song Jiaxin laughed as she asked. Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, ¡°Management? Finance?¡± Song Jiaxin said, ¡°Maybe I think mathematics is more interesting or I¡¯m better at mathematics? Actually, it doesn¡¯t matter what I learn. After all, you only learn a little from books when you¡¯re in school. After you graduate, you can just open two companies and you¡¯ll be able to learn everything.¡¯ Opening two companies after graduating? Was this something a normal human said? However, Lin Fan understood that Song Jiaxin was not bragging or boasting. To Song Jiaxin, opening two companies was just a small matter. At this moment, Song Jiaxin seemed to have thought of the problem that Lin Fan and Hu Tian had discussed on the podium two days ago. ¡°Of course, compared to you, I¡¯m still far behind in mathematics,¡± she said. Jiangbei University, Dorm 502 of the female dormitory. The beautiful twins opened Lin Fan¡¯s WeChat conversation. At this moment, there was already a long paragraph of unsent text. Their nimble hands continued to dance at the bottom of the text. Red: [Hey, are you asleep? Thank you for stopping the basketball and saving me. The moon is so round today. Did you see it? I didn¡¯t see you play basketball today. Will you play tomorrow? There are so many stars in the sky today, and the weather should be good tomorrow. Will you go play basketball?] Blue: [Hi, are you asleep? Thank you for stopping the basketball and saving me. The moon is so round today. Did you see it? I didn¡¯t see you play basketball today. Will you play tomorrow? There are so many stars in the sky today, and the weather should be good tomorrow. Will you go play basketball?] Chapter 34 - Ive Been Waiting For You; Falling into Despair? Chapter 34 I¡¯ve Been Waiting For You; Falling into Despair? The next day, the sky was clear and the breeze was blowing. In Dorm 104. As usual, Ma Zhong was the first to wake up. Then, he woke Lin Fan, Zheng Jinbao, and Song Yi up. They had mathematics class in the morning. The old professor¡¯s teaching style was relatively old-fashioned and boring. It was as if Lin Fan was listening to a lullaby. He lay on the table and fell asleep. Lin Fan felt that sleeping on the table during class was more comfortable than sleeping in the dormitory or even the presidential suite. It was sweet and peaceful. Perhaps this was one of the benefits of choosing to go to school? In the afternoon, when he was eating in the cafeteria, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. 12:00 p.m. A red packet appeared. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 3,000 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received the skill ¡®Professional Calligraphy¡¯.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10000 Yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a skill level-up card.] Lin Fan received a total of 50,000 yuan from the red packets today. He did not care about this at all. Lin Fan¡¯s attention immediately fell on the skill of Professional Calligraphy and the skill-level upgrade card. [Professional Calligraphy: the ability to write good words can increase your charm.] In the past, in order to write good calligraphy, Lin Fan used many cultivation techniques. However, the effect was not satisfactory. Now that he had easily obtained the skill of Professional Calligraphy, he was naturally very happy. [Skill level upgrade card: you can upgrade a skill level. Note: mastering more profound skills makes you more fascinating.] Increase the level of a skill? Lin Fan¡¯s eyes flickered. [Skills: Professional Driving Skills, Charming Aura (5% chance to trigger love at first sight and unforgettable love), Violent Aesthetics, Drinking Gentleman, Absolute Focus (5% chance to trigger a flash of inspiration), Professor-Level Mathematics Experience, Eyes of Truth, Professional Basketball Technique, Pianist-Level Performance, Professional Calligraphy.] Lin Fan muttered to himself for a moment. However, he did not try to level up anything right away. This was because these skills were all very good. If he could level up all of them, Lin Fan would naturally be extremely happy. However, he could only choose one, so he had to consider it first. Song Yi called out to him, ¡°Brother Fan, I¡¯ve invited a few friends to play basketball this afternoon. How about we go and have some fun?¡± Lin Fan already had a good rest in the morning. Playing basketball was not a bad idea. ¡°Alright.¡± he nodded. Song Yi¡¯s face lit up. After lunch, Lin Fan and Song Yi went to the basketball court. At that moment, the big, tanned man and three unfamiliar men in jerseys were already waiting there. When the big, tanned guy saw Lin Fan, he ran over and revealed his white teeth. He said happily, ¡°Brother Fan, you¡¯re here to play basketball too!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the tanned man wanted to give Lin fan a bear hug. However, when Lin Fan saw the sweat on his body, he immediately dodged to the side and nodded his head warily. ¡°Let¡¯s play basketball and exercise a little.¡± The tanned man was not angry at Lin Fan for dodging. He was still smiling. ¡°Exercise is good. Exercise is life!¡± Then, he pointed at the three men in jerseys and said, ¡°They¡¯re from the school¡¯s basketball team.¡± ¡°Brother fan, Song Yi, and I are more familiar with each other. Let¡¯s not split up randomly. Let¡¯s form a team of three,¡± the tanned man said. The three men in jerseys were slightly stunned. Among them, the tall man wearing the No. 4 sure?¡± Jersey asked in confusion, ¡°Are you After all, the three of them were members of the school¡¯s basketball team. They had even participated in a college basketball league. In addition, the three of them had played basketball with Song Yi and the big, tanned guy before, so they knew that their skills were very average. Even so, they still wanted them to form a three-person team just like this? Were they asking to be defeated? ¡°Of course, I¡¯m sure!¡± the big, tanned guy replied. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s start. Song Yi and Lin Fan still have a class in the afternoon.¡± The three of them looked at each other and slowly nodded. Since the other party was looking for a beating, then they would fulfill their wish. However, they soon realized that they were wrong. When the street basketball game started, the tanned man and Song Yi got the ball and passed it to Lin Fan whenever they had the chance. Lin Fan did not let them down. He was proficient in dribbling, feints, jump shots, and layups. In order to counter Lin Fan, the other team did not hesitate to use two people to defend. However, it was still useless. Lin Fan was always able to find an opening to successfully score and shoot! Basketball was indeed a physically exhausting sport. Not long after, Lin Fan and the others were all drenched in sweat. The few of them panted heavily and wanted to rest for a moment. At this moment, two beautiful figures appeared under the basket with smiles on their faces. They were the beautiful twins in a long red dress and a long blue dress. Each of them was holding a bottle of energy drink as they looked at Lin Fan in anticipation. ¡°For me?¡± Lin Fan was stunned. The beautiful twins nodded. Lin Fan did not stand on ceremony. He opened a bottle of energy drink and took a big gulp. After hesitating for a moment, he opened the other bottle of energy drink and took a big gulp. Sure enough, the beautiful twins¡¯ faces were filled with smiles that were difficult to hide. Two small canine teeth the size of rice grains were faintly discernible, and they were extremely cute. Then, Lin Fan could not help but use his Eyes of Truth to observe the two. The girl in the blue dress. [Face value: 95] [Favorability: 99] The girl in the red dress. [Face value: 95] [Favorability: 99] Ever since Lin Fan had added the beautiful twins on WeChat, he had never taken the initiative to send them any messages. As for the beautiful twins, they had never sent Lin Fan any messages either. Lin Fan thought that their favorability for him would slowly decrease. However, he did not expect that it was still 99! What was going on? When Lin Fan returned to the basketball court, the big, tanned guy walked over and smiled. ¡°I seem to recall that the twins have been holding energy drinks and standing around at the basketball court for the past few days. ¡°It turns out they were waiting for Brother Fan! ¡°As expected of Brother Fan. Awesome!¡± The tanned man secretly gave a thumbs-up after he finished speaking. When Lin fan heard this, he was stunned once more. The beautiful twin girls had been waiting for him at the basketball court with energy drinks¡­ This¡­ Did they not already have his WeChat? If they wanted to see him, they could have just sent him a message. At this moment, Song Yi, who was standing in the distance, said, ¡°Lin Fan, catch the ball!¡± The street basketball match began again. Lin Fan was the main force of Song Yi¡¯s team. He kept running, dribbling, and doing layups. If it was an ordinary person, even if they had similar basketball skills as Lin Fan, they would have been exhausted long ago. However, Lin Fan did not seem to have expended any energy at all. He was still the same. In fact, as time passed, Lin Fan became more focused, and his skills improved. It was a completely different story for the basketball team. In order to defend Lin Fan, they had to use up their energy as time passed. The outcome was foreseeable. After nearly two hours of street basketball, the basketball team only scored eight times. Lin Fan¡¯s team had scored 33 times. Bloodshed! For the first time, the three players on the basketball team fell into despair. Chapter 35 - Teacher Tiantians Request! Chapter 35 Teacher Tiantian¡¯s Request! In contrast to the despair of the three players on the basketball team, Song Yi and the big, tanned man were full of smiles. In the past, Song Yi and the big, tanned man had played basketball with the basketball team. However, they were always defeated by the basketball team. Now, they had finally experienced the thrill of torturing others. This made Song Yi and the big, tanned man feel as if they were people who had turned the situation around. Song Yi said, ¡°It¡¯s almost time. Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll go back to the dormitory and take a shower with fragrant shower gel. We still have another class in the afternoon.¡± At the mention of Tiantian¡¯s class, Song Yi could not help but smile. At this moment, the tall man wearing the No. 5 Jersey, who was already exhausted, quickly said, ¡°Lin Fan, your basketball skills are amazing. I wonder if you¡¯re interested in joining our team?¡± ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m not interested.¡± Lin Fan shook his head. To Lin Fan, playing basketball occasionally was still okay. It was also a way to relax. However, it would be too troublesome to join a basketball team. ¡°Lin Fan, if you join our team, you can get two credits,¡± No. 5 explained. ¡°Also, this year¡¯s College Basketball League is about to start. In the past, there was a senior who was selected by a CBA coach in the league and quickly became a professional player with an annual salary of one million! ¡°Lin Fan, with your skills, you¡¯ll definitely be able to shine in the league. You might even catch the eye of a CBA coach! ¡°Lin Fan, you should think about it again.¡¯ After No. 5 finished speaking, he looked at Lin Fan with anticipation. However, Lin Fan still shook his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I still don¡¯t want to join the basketball team.¡± He could get two credits? What was the use of that to Lin Fan? Most people went to college to get their graduation certificate. However, Lin Fan had only come to the university to experience life. He did not care about the graduation certificate at all. As for being chosen by a CBA coach and becoming a player with an annual salary of one million yuan? That was even less attractive to him. After all, even if Lin Fan did not do anything, he could at least get 700,000 yuan a day. In the future, the number would only increase. Song Yi was not surprised that Lin Fan refused to join the basketball team. That was because in Song Yi¡¯s heart, Lin Fan was a super tycoon. Which super tycoon would risk their life to play basketball? Which one of them would be so free? Lin Fan looked at the beautiful twins and said to Song Yi, ¡°You go back to the dormitory first.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Song Yi immediately understood. Then, he pulled back No. 5 and the others who were still trying to persuade Lin Fan. ¡°What are you guys still standing here for? Do you think the sun isn¡¯t bright enough? Why do you wanna interrupt the three of them there?¡± Then, he pulled them out of the basketball court. Soon, only Lin Fan and the beautiful twins were left on the basketball court. Lin Fan walked up and smiled at them. ¡°Thank you for the energy drinks. By the way, we¡¯ve met twice, but I don¡¯t think we¡¯ve introduced ourselves yet. I¡¯m Lin Fan. What are your names?¡± After he finished speaking, he took the initiative to stretch out his two hands. Then, Lin Fan realized that he had just finished playing basketball. There was a lot of sweat and dust on his hands. They were a little dirty. Hence, he prepared to pull his hand back. The beautiful twins seemed to have noticed that Lin Fan wanted to take his hand back. They quickly reached out their slender hands, not caring about Lin Fan¡¯s dirty hand at all. Just like that, they shook hands with him. The beautiful twins blushed and lowered their heads as if they had done something bad. Their silky, milk-like touch filled Lin Fan¡¯s heart. Then, the girl in the red dress tapped on her phone, and the words ¡®Xia Bing¡¯ were displayed on the screen. The girl in the blue dress turned on her phone, and the screen showed the words ¡®Xia Xue¡¯ in large regular script. ¡°Can¡¯t you guys talk?¡± Lin Fan asked. The beautiful twin girls nodded and lowered their little heads. Lin Fan continued, ¡°Xia Bing? Xia Xue? They¡¯re nice names.¡± A pair of cute dimples immediately appeared on the beautiful twins¡¯ faces. Obviously, they were very happy. ¡°Have you guys been waiting for me at the basketball court these past few days?¡± Lin Fan asked. The beautiful twins nodded. ¡°But didn¡¯t we add each other on WeChat? If you girls want to look for me, you can just send me a message.¡¯ || He finally voiced out the doubt in his heart. The beautiful twins lowered their heads shyly and did not reply. When Lin Fan saw this, he did not force it. He was silent for a moment before he said, ¡°Actually, I have a girlfriend¡­¡± Then, Lin Fan carefully observed the changes in the beautiful twins¡¯ expressions. However, he realized that the two of them showed almost no changes. He could not help but wonder, ¡®Did they not hear me clearly?¡¯ ¡°My girlfriend¡¯s name is Qin Yuxuan. She¡¯s currently studying economics in Modu City,¡± Lin Fan continued. After saying this, Lin Fan realized that the beautiful twins¡¯ expressions did not change at all. Their beautiful eyes were as clear as water, their faces were as beautiful as flowers, and their dimples were faintly visible. Lin Fan quickly used his Eyes of Truth to observe the beautiful twins. The girl in the blue dress. [Face value: 95] [Favorability: 99] The girl in the red dress. [Face value: 95] [Favorability: 99] Their favorability toward him had not decreased! What was going on¡­ They already knew that he had a girlfriend! Lin Fan cleared his throat and asked, ¡°You girls¡­ don¡¯t seem to mind?¡± The beautiful twins nodded in unison. They actually nodded? What was going on¡­ Lin Fan was completely confused. He coughed gently and said, ¡°I still have a class later, so I¡¯ll go back and take a shower first. ¡°You guys should go back early. It¡¯s too hot here.¡± He paused for a moment before continuing, ¡°By the way, I won¡¯t be playing basketball for the next few days. You guys don¡¯t have to continue waiting at the basketball court. ¡°If I want to play basketball, then I¡¯ll send you guys a message?¡± Lin Fan asked. Hearing this, the beautiful twins¡¯ eyes lit up, and they nodded. ¡­ After the beautiful twins parted ways with Lin Fan, they took out their phones and sent a message to Beautiful Yan. Xia Bing and Xia Xue: [We met him again today.] Beautiful Yan seemed to have been staring at her phone the whole time. She replied in two seconds. [Did he do anything to you?] Xia Bing and Xia Xue replied: [He shook hands with us.] Beautiful Yan: [He actually dared to hold your hands! He¡¯s simply a beast!] Xia Bing and Xia Xue replied: [It was a handshake.] Beautiful Yan: [Hurry up and give me his WeChat username! I want to give him a good scolding!] However, after a long time, Beautiful Yan still did not receive any news. Beauty Yan: [Hey, hey, hey! Where are you guys?] [Don¡¯t you guys know how to respect the elderly?] [Where are you guys? Are you going to anger me to death before you¡¯re happy?] When Lin Fan returned to Dorm 104, Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and Ma Zhong were preparing to go out. ¡°Brother Fan, we¡¯re going to reserve our seats. Hurry up and come over!¡± Song Yi said. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Immediately, the entire room became empty. Lin Fan had originally planned to take a cold shower. However, after playing basketball, his body was covered in sweat and dust, which could not be washed away easily. After a long while, Lin Fan finally walked out of the bathroom slowly. He looked at the time and realized that class had already started for a few minutes. He mumbled, ¡°It¡¯s too late to go now. I¡¯ll just rest in the dormitory.¡± After saying that, Lin Fan lay down on the bed and started to play with his phone. After more than an hour, Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and Ma Zhong came in excitedly. ¡°Brother Fan, it was such a waste that you didn¡¯t go to Teacher Tiantian¡¯s class today!¡± Zheng Jinbao shouted. ¡°You don¡¯t know how beautiful Teacher Tiantian was today! And she even came down from the podium and came to our seats!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! I was so happy that I almost fainted!¡± Song Yi said excitedly. ¡°That was the first time we were so close to Teacher Tiantian!¡± Ma Zhong agreed. Ring, ring! At that moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. He looked at his WeChat and saw that it was a voice message from Hu Tian. He clicked play, and Hu Tian¡¯s melodious voice immediately rang out. ¡°Lin Fan, you didn¡¯t come to class today. Were you delayed by something? ¡°I¡¯ve been studying the Twin Prime Number Conjecture for the past few days. I have some inspiration but also some problems. ¡°If you have time, can you come to my office?¡± Silence! The entire dormitory was silent! Chapter 36 - Genius, Ill Treat You to a Meal! Chapter 36 Genius, I¡¯ll Treat You to a Meal! Ma Zhong, Song Yi, and Zheng Jinbao were all stunned. What did they just hear? Teacher Tiantian invited Lin Fan to her office! Lin Fan was going to be alone with Teacher Tiantian in a room? Then, they suddenly thought of how Tiantian had suddenly walked to their seats during class as if she was looking for something. They finally understood what Tiantian was looking for! She was actually looking for Lin Fan! ¡°Brother fan, I¡¯m on my knees!¡± Ma Zhong, Song Yi, and Zheng Jinbao all howled in unison. In the office. Hu Tian¡¯s office desk was filled with many documents and books, but they were all arranged in an extremely neat manner. At this moment, Hu Tian was sitting in front of her desk, thinking seriously and calculating carefully. Knock, knock, knock! At this moment, there were light knocks on the door. ¡°Please come in,¡± Hu Tian said. When she saw that it was Lin Fan, Hu Tian¡¯s pretty face broke into a smile. ¡°You¡¯re here. Please take a seat.¡± Then, Hu Tian stood up and said, ¡°What do you want to drink? I have green tea, black tea, and coffee here.¡± Hu Tian was wearing a beige dress today, which showed off her exquisite curves vividly and thoroughly. ¡°Green tea,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright,¡± she said. Very quickly, a cup of fragrant green tea was served to Lin Fan. Hu Tian took out a stack of draft paper, on which she had written a dense number of calculations. She said, ¡°You calculated this last time, p^q+2m =3Q-2p^n. ¡°I¡¯ve been doing some calculations over the past few days.¡¯ After she finished speaking, Hu Tian handed over a stack of draft paper, which was also filled with arithmetic formulas. ¡°Lin Fan, is there a problem with my calculations? By the way, to what position have you derived?¡± Hu Tian asked. To what position? ¡®I haven¡¯t cared about the Twin Prime Number Conjecture at all these days.¡¯ Lin Fan felt a little embarrassed. He did not answer immediately. Instead, he silently looked at the draft paper in front of him. However, for a world-class problem like the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, even with Lin Fan¡¯s Professor-Level Mathematics Experience, it was still extremely difficult to verify and further derive it on the spot. Then, Lin Fan suddenly thought of the skill level-up card. [Do you want to level up your Professor-Level Mathematics Experience?] ¡®Yes!¡¯ Lin Fan muttered in his heart. [Ding! The upgrade was successful! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received Academician-Level Mathematics Experience.] Instantly, when Lin Fan flipped through the draft paper in front of him again, everything immediately looked much simpler. He quickly picked up a pen and paper and started writing. ¡°2m +4n^5- 8q =7y^2Q-3z^8. There¡¯s a problem with your calculations,¡± Lin Fan said. Hu Tian could not help but look over. In the next moment, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly. In fact, when Lin Fan was at Hilton Hotel, she had seen his handwriting when he solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture. Not long ago, Lin Fan solved a problem on the blackboard in the classroom and discussed the Twin Prime Number Conjecture with Hu Tian in public. At that time, Lin Fan¡¯s handwriting was very ordinary. In fact, it was even a little ugly. What was the situation now? Be it numbers, letters, characters, or Chinese characters, Lin Fan wrote them all like he was a calligraphy master. Even though Hu Tian was a math teacher, she also liked calligraphy. In her opinion, good calligraphy could give people endless enjoyment. At that moment, Lin Fan saw that Hu Tian was silent and thought that she did not understand. ¡°If you reverse-engineer the answer, you¡¯ll find that it¡¯s wrong,¡± he reminded her. Only then did Hu Tian come back to her senses. She picked up a pen and paper and began to calculate according to Lin Fan¡¯s instructions. As expected, the calculation was different from the original one. The calculation was wrong! Lin Fan said, ¡°Actually, we can add in the first part of the equation.¡± As Lin Fan spoke, he quickly wrote down the question on the draft paper. Scratch, scratch, scratch. Immediately, the entire office was filled with a rapid and rhythmic knocking sound. Hu Tian, who was sitting at the side, looked at Lin Fan¡¯s focused expression and the lines of beautiful and exquisite calculations he wrote. For a moment, she was a little entranced. Very quickly, the entire draft paper was used up, and Lin Fan stopped writing. ¡°Teacher Tiantian, what do you think?¡± he turned to ask. Only then did Hu Tian snap back to her senses. She carefully observed the calculation process and nodded slightly. Lin Fan said, ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s continue to deduce.¡± Lin Fan only stopped after he had filled a dozen pieces of paper with complicated equations. ¡°For now, I can only calculate up to this point,¡± he said helplessly. Even with Lin Fan¡¯s Academician-Level Mathematics Experience, if he did not trigger a flash of inspiration, he would not be able to solve the Twin Prime Number Conjecture. After all, this was a world-class problem that had not been solved for more than a hundred years! Hu Tian, who was sitting at the side, was completely dumbfounded as she looked at the dozens of pages of calculations. If Lin Fan could only solve one-tenth of the Twin Prime Number Conjecture in class, he would surely be able to solve it. He had directly deduced half of it now! How many days had it been? He was actually able to achieve this? Was he holding back in class? Or was it the result of his research and calculations over the past few days? A genius! No matter what the reason was, Lin Fan was a genius-an absolute genius! ¡°Lin Fan, you really are a genius!¡± Hu Tian exclaimed in admiration. ¡°Teacher, you¡¯re overpraising me.¡± Lin Fan laughed. Hu Tian looked out the window at the completely dark sky and said, ¡°It¡¯s getting late. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal.¡± Previously, he was only concerned with the derivation and did not feel hungry. Now that food was brought up, Lin Fan was feeling a little hungry. ¡°I¡¯ll take you up on your offer,¡± Lin Fan said. Hu Tian¡¯s car was a minicar. It was small and cute, and the interior was exquisite. After sitting in the car, a faint fragrance surrounded his nose, making him feel very comfortable. Not long after, Hu Tian and Lin Fan arrived at a quiet and elegant Western restaurant. The restaurant was located on the 26th floor of the Zhongshang Building. Sitting in the restaurant, one could see the neon lights of Jiangbei city through the French windows, as well as the bright stars and moon in the night sky. It was a beautiful sight. Hu Tian pushed the menu in front of Lin Fan, indicating that he did not need to stand on ceremony and could order the food that he liked. ¡°It¡¯s my first time at this restaurant, so I don¡¯t know what¡¯s good. Can you recommend something?¡± Lin Fan asked. Hu Tian thought for a moment and said, ¡°The filet steak here is cooked to 30% medium. It¡¯s fragrant on the outside and chewy on the inside. It tastes pretty good. ¡°The tenderloin with potato is different from other places. You can try it too. ¡°Also, the Black Rose is their family¡¯s homemade wine. It¡¯s a specialty of the restaurant. You can try it.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you, Teacher Tiantian.¡± Lin Fan nodded. Then, Hu Tian also ordered a few dishes and placed her order. Chapter 37 - What Kind of Person is He? Please Accept My Knees! Chapter 37 What Kind of Person is He? Please Accept My Knees! About 10 minutes later, exquisite dishes were served on the table. Lin Fan was indeed a little hungry. He did not stand on ceremony and directly cut a big piece of steak and put it in his mouth. After that, he tasted the potato and beef and nodded slightly. After filling up his stomach, Lin Fan swirled the wine glass and slowly poured the Black Rose wine into his mouth. His movements were slow, elegant, and intoxicating. He was a gentleman as warm as jade! Drinking Gentleman made him have infinite charm! Lin Fan commented, ¡°When I sniffed it, it had a thick grape fragrance. After tasting it, it feels like the grape fragrance is bursting out from my body. It¡¯s good wine.¡± Hu Tian, who was sitting across from him, was a little stunned as she watched Lin Fan drink the wine and listened to his comments on the Black Rose. In the past, there had been some people who had drunk with Hu Tian. However, their actions were clumsy. They clearly did not know anything about wine, but they wanted to pretend to know a lot. They ended up talking nonsense. Hu Tian loathed such people. Lin Fan was completely different. His drinking actions were extremely elegant, and his comments were appropriate. In Hu Tian¡¯s eyes, he did not look like a student at all. Instead, he looked more like a noble or a prince who had been through a lot of edification. She felt as though he was introducing to her the fine wine he had personally brewed. His actions and temperament seemed to be deeply ingrained in his bones. Then, Lin Fan put down the glass in his hand and looked up at Hu Tian. Their eyes met, and Hu Tian hurriedly turned her head to the side. Soon, her eyes fell on the empty piano in the middle of the restaurant. ¡°Looks like we won¡¯t be able to hear any good piano music today,¡± she said, a little disappointed. Lin Fan also looked over and thought about it. ¡°That might not be the case.¡± With that, he walked briskly to the piano and sat down. Lin Fan slowly closed his eyes. About 10 seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, Lin Fan¡¯s slender hands were moving rapidly across the black and white keys. Suddenly, a melodious tune slowly reverberated in the restaurant. Everyone could not help but stop talking, drinking, and eating. They all calmed their hearts and listened. Hu Tian did not even blink. In fact, she even stopped breathing. She just stared at Lin Fan in a daze. At this moment, the entire restaurant, and perhaps even the entire world, seemed to have turned pitch-black in Hu Tian¡¯s eyes. Lin Fan was the only one who seemed to be illuminated by a spotlight. He was dazzling and eye-catching! Clap, clap! When the last note was played, the entire restaurant burst into a round of applause. ¡°You played so well!¡± ¡°It was really nice to listen to!¡± Under the crowd¡¯s praise, Lin Fan slowly returned to the table and sat down. ¡°How was the performance?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°It was nice!¡± Hu Tian replied almost reflexively. ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Lin Fan said. Then, Lin Fan picked up his fork and knife again. He finished the rest of the food like a tornado. ¡°Do you want to order more?¡± Hu Tian asked. Lin Fan wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth and shook his head. ¡°No need, it¡¯ll be a waste if I order more.¡± After he finished speaking, he got up and prepared to leave. At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked over and smiled. ¡°Hello, sir. May I disturb you for a few minutes?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Lin Fan asked. The middle-aged man said, ¡°I¡¯m Zhao Ting, the manager of Brilliant Films. We¡¯re currently filming a teen drama. ¡°Your appearance, as well as the temperament you displayed when you played the piano just now, are very suitable for the character in our drama. I wonder if you¡¯re interested in auditioning for the role?¡± After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he handed over a business card. The manager of Brilliant Films? Was Lin Fan being scouted on the streets now? If it was an ordinary person who encountered this situation, they would definitely be overjoyed and hurriedly agree. It was because this meant that they had a chance to appear on the screen and become well-known stars. However, Lin Fan shook his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not interested in acting in a TV show.¡± Go on screen and become a star? He would have no freedom to speak of in the future. Lin Fan did not want to be surrounded and photographed wherever he went. Zhao Ting was obviously stunned for a moment. He did not expect the other party to reject him. He hurriedly said, ¡°Can you accept my name card first? If you change your mind, you can contact me at any time.¡± Even though it was impossible for Lin Fan to change his mind, he looked at Zhao ting¡¯s sincere expression and accepted the business card. He walked out of the restaurant and sat in Hu Tian¡¯s minicar. ¡°You were given a chance to become a star. I thought you¡¯d agree immediately,¡± Hu Tian said. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯m not interested in being a star,¡± Lin Fan replied. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to play the piano so well. It was the first time I heard the song Moonlight. It¡¯s nice,¡± she continued. At this point, the image of Lin Fan playing Moonlight seemed to be replaying in Hu Tian¡¯s mind. It was melodious and graceful! ¡°I really don¡¯t know what else you can¡¯t do,¡± Hu Tian sighed. ¡°There are a lot,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Like what?¡± Hu Tian asked. Like¡­ Lin Fan thought for a moment and could not quite put his finger on it. He would not be able to do those things now, but what if he got the skills from the red packets in the future? Hu Tian could not help but smile when she saw Lin Fan¡¯s pensive expression. After sending Lin Fan back to Jiangbei University, she continued driving her minicar along the busy road. When she stopped at a red light, Hu Tian¡¯s mind once again recalled the difficult math problems that Lin Fan had earnestly answered, the excellent calligraphy that he had casually written, the temperament he showed when he tasted the wine, and the beautiful piano piece that he played. ¡°Lin Fan, just what kind of person are you?¡± Hu Tian murmured. Ring, ring! At this moment, her phone rang with a melodious ringtone. Hu Tian looked at the caller ID and answered the call. ¡°Tiantian, didn¡¯t you say you¡¯d come to my place today? Why aren¡¯t you here yet?¡± A clear and sweet voice came from the phone. Hu Tian¡¯s face revealed a look of realization. ¡°I was delayed by some matters. I¡¯ll come over now.¡± ¡°Delayed by some matters? Your school doesn¡¯t seem to have been holding any meetings recently, right? Forget it, just come over quickly. I can¡¯t wait anymore.¡± The voice on the other end of the phone sounded even more delicate. After hanging up the phone, Hu Tian stepped on the accelerator harder and sped forward. ¡­ At the same time, in Dorm 104 of Jiangbei University. Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Jinbao all focused their gazes on Lin Fan. Lin Fan felt a little uncomfortable and said, ¡°Why are you all looking at me like that?¡± ¡°Brother Fan, why are you back so late?¡± ¡°Brother Fan, were you with Teacher Tiantian this whole time?¡± ¡°Brother Fan, what did you do with teacher Tiantian?¡± Almost at the same time, the three of them asked their questions. ¡°I first discussed the problem with Teacher Tiantian in the office for about two hours. Then, she treated me to dinner. In the end, she sent me home,¡± Lin Fan replied honestly. Spending two hours alone with Tiantian in the office! Then, he had dinner with Teacher Tiantian! Finally, Teacher Tiantian personally sent him back to the dormitory! ¡°Brother Fan, please accept my knees!¡± Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Jinbao all howled in unison. Chapter 38 - A Hundred-Year-Old Spirit Branch; The Instructors Operation! Chapter 38 A Hundred-Year-Old Spirit Branch; The Instructor¡¯s Operation! The next day, there were no classes in the morning. Of the four people in Dorm 104, Ma Zhong went to the library. Song Yi also went out early, and Zheng Jinbao was sleeping soundly. After Lin Fan woke up, he took out his phone. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 710,200 yuan has been deposited into your account.] [Name: Lin fan] [Level: LV4] [Level 4 reward: 10 yuan for every breath; 10 yuan for every second of sleep; 10 yuan for every step taken. Rewards are distributed at 12 a.m. daily.] [Upgrade cost: three million/ten million (gifts, gambling, and other methods are not included. In addition, all items obtained from the system are prohibited from being traded.] [Skills: Professional Driving Skills, Charming Aura (5% chance to trigger love at first sight and unforgettable love), Violent Aesthetics, Drinking Gentleman, Absolute Focus (5% chance to trigger a flash of inspiration), Academician-Level Mathematics Experience, Eyes of Truth, Professional Basketball Technique, Pianist-Level Performance, Professional Calligraphy.] [Funds: 16.01 million.] Lin Fan casually marked the message as read and then started to read the news. Ding! Ding! When the sun was high up in the sky, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. A text message popped up. Sun Luguo: [Lin Fan, our family just bought a 100-year-old spirit branch. Are you at Jiangbei University now?] Seeing this, he was startled. Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. He secretly praised in his heart, ¡®No wonder they¡¯re a famous medical family in Jiang province!¡¯ Lin Fan replied: [I¡¯m at Jiangbei University.] Sun Luguo replied: [Okay, I¡¯ll be at the east gate of Jiangbei University in about 20 minutes.] After Lin Fan put down his phone, he quickly got dressed and washed up. Then, he walked toward the east gate. Not long after, a white BMW Z5 stopped in front of him. Sun Luguo, who was wearing a plaid shirt, came down and said, ¡°Lin Gan, sorry to have kept you waiting.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°No, I just arrived.¡± ¡°This is the century-old spirit branch that my family received.¡± Sun Luguo handed over an exquisitely wrapped wooden box. ¡°You¡¯ve really helped me a lot this time!¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°By the way, how much does this cost? I¡¯ll transfer it to you now!¡± ¡°If I take your money, I¡¯ll be laughed at by Big Sis Jiaxin and the others,¡± Sun Luguo said while waving his hands. ¡°Oh right, this spirit branch isn¡¯t like ginseng and other herbs. The older it is, the more effective it is,¡± he reminded after a pause. ¡°After reaching a certain age, the spirit branch will gradually turn into wood. Generally, it can only be used for ornamental purposes and has no medicinal value.¡± Sun Luguo and Liu Yuhang often raced and fought each other, it made them look like playboys. In fact, they grew up in a family of medical doctors and were very experienced in dealing with people. They also had a deeper understanding of medicine. Lin Fan did not force Sun Luguo to accept his money for the item. He also understood that Sun Luguo did not lack money. Sun Luguo cared more about dignity. Sun Luguo¡¯s reminder was completely out of concern for him. Hence, Lin Fan came up with an excuse. ¡°I¡¯m helping an elder to find the hundred-year spirit branch and hundred-year ginseng. I don¡¯t care what they¡¯re for. Since the elder needs them, I can only help him find them. ¡°But I still have to thank you for your reminder. I¡¯ll tell the elder about the medicinal theory of the hundred-year-old spirit branch.¡± Sun Luguo nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll keep an eye out for hundred-year-old ginseng for you. If I find one, I¡¯ll let you know.¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll have to trouble you for that!¡± Lin fan said. ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter. It¡¯s not much trouble,¡± Sun Luguo said. Lin Fan said seriously, ¡°But this is important to me.¡± Sun Luguo looked at his serious expression and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll definitely find it. It¡¯s only a matter of time.¡± Then, the two of them chatted for a while more before they left. While walking along the forest path in the school, Lin Fan could not help but open the wooden box and look at the wood-like spirit branch inside. [Ding! Do you wish to collect the hundred-year-old spirit branch?] ¡°Yes!¡± Immediately, the spirit branch in the wooden box disappeared into thin air. At the same time, the image of a small spirit branch appeared in the Medical Water Illustration Book in his mind. It was very magical! Lin Fan thought to himself, ¡®As long as I can find the hundred-year-old ginseng, I¡¯ll have the right to buy Medical Water. ¡®By then, Dad¡¯s body should be able to recover completely!¡¯ Ding! Ding! At this moment, the time was exactly 12:00 p.m. Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. Red packets appeared! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 2,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one billion Sharkstream coins.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] This time, Lin Fan received a total of 40,000 yuan and one billion Sharkstream coins. Sharkstream currency, also known as Shark currency, was the virtual currency of the largest live-streaming platform in the country, Sharkstream. One yuan could be exchanged for 100 Sharkstream coins. One billion Sharkstream coins were worth 10 million dollars! ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re here?¡± The counselor, Sun Yaodong, who had his hair swept back, walked over from a distance and called out. ¡°Counselor, you were looking for me?¡± Lin Fan turned around and asked. ¡°Oh, the National Mathematical Modeling Competition is about to start. Your ability is outstanding. How about you sign up? The honor of our class can only be won by you!¡± Sun Yaodong directly placed his hand on Lin Fan¡¯s shoulder and said in a tone that seemed like he was talking to a friend. Lin Fan thought to himself, ¡®Could it be that he knows that I solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture?¡¯ That was right. After all, Sun Yaodong was his counselor. Although it would be troublesome to participate in a competition and Lin Fan hated trouble, as a student of the university, he should make some contributions. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll sign up!¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Hahaha! That¡¯s great! As expected of my student! I¡¯ll submit your name now!¡± After Sun Yaodong finished speaking, he quickly walked away. It was as if he was afraid that Lin Fan would regret it. Lin Fan looked at his back view and shook his head. When Lin Fan returned to the dormitory, Song Yi had just returned with a stack of mathematics materials. ¡°Song Yi, I didn¡¯t think you¡¯d start to like studying,¡± Lin Fan said. Song Yi laughed. ¡°There¡¯s no choice. There¡¯ll be a National Mathematical Modeling Competition soon. We¡¯re outstanding men. We must sign up to win glory for our class!¡± Ma Zhong, who was reading seriously, turned his head and said, ¡°Did Counselor Sun say that?¡± ¡°How do you know? It seems that you¡¯ve also heard from Counselor Sun that I¡¯m outstanding, right?¡± Song Yi said smugly. ¡°Sigh, I¡¯ve tried my best to keep a low profile. I didn¡¯t expect that I would still be discovered.¡± ¡°Today, Counselor Sun also said the same thing to me,¡± Ma Zhong said. Zheng Jinbao, who was slurping his instant noodles, said, ¡°Huh, when I bought the instant noodles, Counselor Sun also said that I¡¯m outstanding and asked me to participate in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition.¡¯ Ma Zhong, Song Yi, and Zheng Jinbao immediately looked at each other. Lin Fan¡¯s lips twitched. So, Sun Yaodong was just going around telling students that they were outstanding and wanted them to bring glory to the university. That way, he could trick the students to sign up for the National Mathematics Modeling Competition. Were all college counselors so sneaky? The counselor¡¯s tactics really made one speechless! Chapter 39 - Goddess Xiang Xiang; Overestimating His Own Abilities! Chapter 39 Goddess Xiang Xiang; Overestimating His Own Abilities! Dorm 104 fell into a brief silence. Obviously, Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Jinbao also realized that they had been fooled by the counselor. At this time, a sweet voice came from the computer in front of Zheng Jinbao. ¡°Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to my livestream. ¡°Xiang Xiang has started her live broadcast!¡± Zheng Jinbao shouted excitedly. ¡°Xiang Xiang, I love you!¡± As Zheng Jinbao spoke, he quickly sent a message in the live broadcast room. ¡°Some people say that only by looking back thousands of times in the past life can we brush past each other in this life. ¡°Today, I¡¯m able to meet everyone on Sharkstream¡¯s platform. I think it must be fate that brought us together in our previous lives. ¡°Thank you, fate. Thank you all for meeting me in this life. Next, I¡¯ll be singing ¡®Encounter¡¯. I hope you¡¯ll like it.¡± Suddenly, light music started playing in the live broadcast room. Immediately after, a melodious voice rang out in Dorm 104. ¡°Yes, winter¡¯s departure. ¡°I woke up in a certain month and year. ¡°I think, I wait, I look forward to it. ¡°The future can not be arranged because of this.¡¯ ¡­ ¡°Meeting you is the most beautiful accident. ¡°One day, my mystery will be revealed.¡± The music gradually stopped, and the song ended. Zheng Jinbao shouted excitedly, ¡°Xiang Xiang is so beautiful! Her singing is so good!¡± Lin Fan, who was standing not far away, nodded his head. In fact, many streamers were not pretty. Some of them even had fat heads and big ears. They had pockmarks all over their faces. They were very ugly. However, due to beautifying filters, they looked as beautiful as fairies and thus boasted shamelessly about their appearance. However, all of these beautiful facades could not convince Lin Fan¡¯s eyes! [Face value: 94] [Favorability: 50] With a face value of 94, no matter if it was her figure or appearance, she was absolutely impeccable. As for the favorability score of 50¡­ it was because she did not know Lin Fan at all. In fact, she had never even seen him before. This was obviously normal. In addition, Xiang Xiang¡¯s voice was crisp and magnetic, and the transition between high and low pitches was perfect. Moreover, when she sang, she did not completely follow the original song. She even added some of her own adaptations, which was very rare. ¡°It¡¯s rare for there to be such a beautiful streamer in Jiang region, but why isn¡¯t she popular?¡± Zheng Jinbao said with a depressed tone. ¡°It would be great if a few big nouveau riche appeared to give her gifts!¡± When Lin Fan heard this, his eyes flickered. He sat on his bed and took out his phone to enter Sharkstream¡¯s app. Then, Lin Fan opened up his personal page. [Welcome, Work Slayer.] [Balance: 1,000,000,000 Sharkstream coins.] Sure enough, the Sharkstream coins from the red packet had been transferred to his account. One billion Sharkstream was equivalent to 10 million yuan. What if Lin Fan started his own live broadcast? Then, he could directly tip everything to himself and withdraw the cash. However, this required the registration of a live broadcast and verification. The withdrawal of cash would also mean that the platform would be entitled to a commission. There were also handling fees, taxes, and so on. In the end, he estimated that he would only get about four million. It was extremely troublesome, and he would not be able to get much money. Lin Fan was not interested in that at all. At this moment, he finally knew how to deal with the one billion Sharkstream coins. Lin Fan searched for the keywords in the platform-¡®Xiang Xiang.¡¯ Very quickly, exquisite facial features entered his eyes. At this moment, three rockets flew up from the screen. Soon, many bullet comments appeared on the screen. Mr. Qu: [You sang very well. I¡¯ll reward you with three rockets.] Sunny Day: [Woah, three rockets at once! Awesome!] Most of the comments were full of exclamations. One had to know that the rocket for Sharkstream cost 100,000 Sharkstream coins, which was equivalent to 1,000 yuan. Three rockets in one go cost 3,000 yuan. This amount might not be much to some big live streamers. However, for a small streamer like Xiang Xiang, it was definitely rare. ¡°Thank you for the three rockets, Mr. Qin,¡± Xiang Xiang said happily. Mr. Qu said: [Xiang Xiang is pretty and her songs are nice. It¡¯s just that her clothes don¡¯t look good. I think it¡¯s better to take them off.] Mr. Qu had opened a small factory and could earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year. He loved to watch live streams and was obsessed with the beautiful streamers in the videos. However, he also understood that it was impossible for him to get a big live streamer with his limited amount of money. Therefore, Mr. Qu often targeted some small live streamers. After Mr. Qu¡¯s message appeared, the bullet screen quickly rolled like raindrops. City of Brisk: [Yes, strip.] Let Nature Take its Course: [Mr. Qu tipped you three rockets and became a big shot on the top of the list. This is the first request of the big shot who ranks first, so you have to fulfill it!] V: [Otherwise, the big shot at the top of the list will be angry.] ¡­ Zheng Jinbao, who was sitting in front of the computer, gritted his teeth and said, ¡°I thought that Xiang Xiang finally had the support of a nouveau riche! But he¡¯s actually a sleazy, dirty man!¡± After he finished speaking, Zheng Jinbao¡¯s fat fingers jumped quickly on the keyboard. Big Gold Treasure: [Xiang Xiang, don¡¯t listen to their nonsense! Don¡¯t take your clothes off!] In Zheng Jinbao¡¯s heart, Xiang Xiang was a goddess. He did not want his goddess to be tainted! Mr. Qu saw that Xiang Xiang did not answer for a long time, so he sent another message. Mr. Qu said: [It¡¯s not like you¡¯re not wearing any clothes inside. It¡¯s fine to take off your outer clothes, right?] Mr. Qu asked: [I¡¯m the big shot ranked first on the list. Are you unwilling to agree to my requests? After this, who would still dare to give you gifts?] Is Anyone There?: [Don¡¯t even talk about getting more tips. Just strip.] Take a Look: [Yeah, just strip!] ¡­ In the live broadcast room, Xiang Xiang looked at the screen and bit her almond-shaped lip lightly, not knowing what to do. Xiang Xiang liked to broadcast live. It was easy, and she could also showcase her talents. In addition, live-streaming could earn her a sum of money every day. This allowed Xiang Xiang¡¯s live broadcasts to continue. If a large number of fans left, her income would definitely be greatly reduced. Could she continue to do live broadcasts? At that time, what should he do? Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! At this moment, four rockets flashed across the screen. Work Slayer: [I think I¡¯m number one now?] Work Slayer: [Then I can make a request from Xiang Xiang, right?] Work Slayer: [Xiang Xiang looks fine in this kind of clothes. She doesn¡¯t need to take them off.] After Lin Fan sent this message, the live broadcast room was flooded with comments. Who: [Woah, four rockets! That¡¯s 4,000 yuan!] One, Two, Three: [Xiang Xiang bagged herself two nouveau riche today!] Most of the comments were full of exclamations. ¡°Thank you, Work Slayer, thank you,¡± Xiang Xiang quickly said. Seeing this, Mr. Qu¡¯s face flashed with anger. He had given three rockets, but this person gave four! He was simply provoking him in public. How detestable! However, Mr. Qu did not immediately fight back. He first opened Work Slayer¡¯s information and found that it was only a level-four account. He immediately sneered and said, ¡°Work Slayer? He¡¯s probably a small-time employee in a small company. Those four rockets probably cost him a month¡¯s salary, right? ¡°He really doesn¡¯t know his own strength!¡± Then, Mr. Qu clicked on the gift twice. Whoosh! Whoosh! In the live stream room, another two rockets soared into the sky. At this point, Mr. Qu had given a total of five rockets! He had once again climbed back to the top of the rankings! Chapter 40 - Chapter 39: More Rockets Cause a Sensation! Chapter 40 Chapter 39: More Rockets Cause a Sensation! With the appearance of these two rockets, the live stream became even more lively. Yellow in Yellow: [Another two rockets. Mr. Hao is awesome!] Poor: [Hehe, Mr. Qu is back in first place. Xiang Xiang, listen to Mr. Qu and take off your outer clothes. Follower: [I don¡¯t know if Work Slayer will come back with more rockets. Otherwise, Xiang Xiang should listen to Mr. Qu.] Divine Demon Transformation: [That Work Slayer is probably a loser who works in some factory. He has probably spent all his salary by tipping four rockets. How can he still have money to tip?] Little Bug: [Mr. Qu is awesome!] ¡­ Mr. Qu enjoyed everyone¡¯s praise and said with a proud smile, ¡°You want to fight me? You¡¯re still too green!¡± Whoosh! Whoosh! However, the next moment, two rockets shot into the sky in the live broadcast room. Work Slayer gave two more rockets! Bone Soup: [Work Slayer became number one again!] Crazy: [Are these two big shots going to fight?] I¡¯m a Primary School Student: [I wonder if Mr. Qu will continue to tip.] 321: [Of course! Otherwise, Mr. Qu will lose face.] ¡­ Mr. Qu¡¯s face darkened as he grunted. ¡°I¡¯d like to see how much money you, a poor loser, have!¡± After saying that, he tapped on the screen twice. Two rockets flew into the air in the live-stream room. At that moment, Mr. Qu had given Xiang Xiang a total of seven rockets! Crazy: [Hehe, these two big shots are really going to fight. There¡¯s going to be a good show.] 321: [Mr. Qu is obviously a big shot. He¡¯s more awesome!] Mad Scientist: [I also think Mr. Qu is awesome.] ¡­ Whoosh! Whoosh! Before many comments appeared on the screen, two new rockets appeared in the live broadcast room. Work Slayer was giving gifts again! Mr. Qu frowned. At this time, Slay Worker had rewarded Xiang Xiang with a total of eight rockets. If he wanted to surpass him, he would have to reward Xiang Xiang with two more rockets. In that case, he would have tipped nine rockets in total, which would be a total of 9,000 yuan! Although Mr. Qu could earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year, he was still a little reluctant to spend 9,000 yuan just to prove his worth. After hesitating for a long time, Mr. Qu finally gritted his teeth and said, ¡°That Work Slayer should be out of money! I¡¯ll give two more rockets. If he continues, I¡¯ll give up!¡± After saying that, Mr. Qu finally tapped on the screen twice. Lin Fan, who was sitting on the bed, grinned when he saw this. Work Slayer: [Forget it, I¡¯m not playing with you anymore.] The message was sent. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ¡­ One¡­ Two¡­ Three rockets! 10 rockets! 50 rockets! 100! A total of 100 rockets rained down on the entire live broadcast room. The Man in the Wind: [What the hell?!] Yellow in Yellow: [Damn it!] Xiao Ming: [F*ck!] ¡­ Countless swear words appeared on the screen. It was obvious that everyone was shocked to the extreme. The Man in the Wind: [Mom asked me why I¡¯m kneeling down and looking at my phone. ] I¡¯m a Primary School Student: [Don¡¯t ask me why¡­ It¡¯s because the tables have turned!] Prince: [Greetings, God!] ¡­ It was no wonder they were so excited. One rocket was worth 1,000 yuan. 100 rockets would be 100,000 yuan! This kind of large reward only happened a few times a day in the entire Sharkstream platform. However, they did not know that this was only the beginning. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Densely packed rockets filled the screen again. 10! 20! 50! 100! It was another 100 rockets! However, this was not the end! The rockets continued to rise! The commotion in Xiang Xiang live-stream quickly attracted the attention of many people. Originally, there were only a few hundred online viewers. After the appearance of these rockets, the number of viewers slowly increased from thousands to tens of thousands. As time passed, the number of viewers continued to increase! The Willow: [Oh my God! What¡¯s happening here?] 321: [There was a man called Mr. Qu who was competing with a tycoon at who could send more rockets. How would he know that the tycoon was just toying with him? He directly scammed him of a few rockets! Take a Look: [I¡¯m dying of laughter. That Mr. Qu is actually competing with the God of Construction in terms of rockets!] Madman: [Oh right, where¡¯s that Mr. Qu?] Huang Zhonghuang: [Quick, check if Mr. Qu is still there.] At first, Mr. Qu¡¯s mouth was still half-open, and he looked at the rockets with a dazed look. However, after paying attention to these comments, he hurriedly exited the live broadcast room. This was a slap in the face! Mr. Qu put down his phone, swallowed his saliva, and stuttered, ¡°Just who is this guy?¡± The commotion in the live broadcast room did not stop just because Mr. Qu had left. Gradually, not only the audience was attracted, but even some big live streamers could not help but pay attention to Xiang Xiang¡¯s live broadcast. Spring Water: [600 rockets! How much did he have to pay?] Hello, Son: [I¡¯m here to watch the God of Tycoons.] Daily Upward: [A god-level nouveau riche. This is the true god-level nouveau riche!] Congratulations! You¡¯ll Be Above All the Others if You Work Hard!: [Work Slayer, you¡¯re awesome!] The Man: [Look! Momo is here!] Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao: [Oh my God! It¡¯s really Momo. I love watching her live streams!] ¡­ After Momo saw that she had been seen, she did not hide and sent out a message. Momo: [I¡¯m also here to watch the fight with Work Slayer.] Take a Look: [The God of Tycoons is awesome when he beats up people.] I¡¯m the Best: [Momo is very good-looking, and her singing is very good. You should also watch Momo¡¯s live broadcast.] Woof! Woof! Woof!: [That¡¯s right! Momo is great!] Student Little Ming: [Momo, I love you!] When the 1,000th rocket flew past the live-stream room, the thrilling scene finally ended. Work Slayer: [Xiang Xiang, you did a great job streaming. If I have time in the future, I¡¯ll come and visit you again. Xiang Xiang looked at the dense number of rockets in the live broadcast room and the increasing number of viewers. She was completely stunned. It was only now that she saw Work Slayer¡¯s message. She came back to her senses. She quickly said, ¡°Alright, alright. Thank you, God of Tycoons. Thank you!¡± Obviously, Xiang Xiang was also affected by the nicknames shared on the screen. Momo was one of the top 10 most popular streamers on Sharkstream. Previously, when Momo heard that a god-level rich man had given Xiangxiang hundreds of rockets, she was shocked and could not help but run to the other party¡¯s live broadcast room to see the grand scene. Even Momo had never received such treatment. At this time, Momo had already returned to her live broadcast room. In the live broadcast room, she gently swayed her lovely body to the murmuring music. Then, she slowly opened her cherry-like mouth. Suddenly, a beautiful song that was like the sound of spring water resounded throughout the entire live broadcast room. It was also at this time that a golden notification appeared in the live broadcast room. ¡°Welcome, Work Slayer, to the live-stream room. ¡°Spending 100 million Sharkstream coins every month, which was one million yuan, would earn you the title of ¡®Emperor¡¯. This was also the highest-level title for Sharkstream.¡± Lin Fan had just given Xiang Xiang 1,000 rockets, and he had just earned the Emperor title. After this notification appeared, Momo¡¯s live broadcast room immediately boiled over. Son of the Dragon: [The god-like tycoon is here!] The Man in the Wind: [Greetings, God of Tycoons.] Master Qiao: [The God of Tycoons has come to Momo¡¯s live streaming room. That¡¯s great!] ¡­ Even Momo, who was singing, sounded excited. Momo took advantage of the gap in the song and said excitedly, ¡°Welcome, God of Tycoons!¡± After Work Slayer came to the live broadcast room, Momo¡¯s singing became even more motivated. After the song ended, Lin Fan nodded his head. [Face value: 95] [Favorability: 60] Work Slayer: [I like listening to ¡®Those Years.¡¯ I wonder if Momo can sing it for me?] ¡°Of course, no problem,¡± Momo said happily. Very quickly, the music started playing. Momo also opened her mouth. ¡°Back to the beginning, the young and inexperienced face in my memory. ¡°We¡¯ve finally come to this day.¡± It had to be said that Momo was indeed a popular streamer. She easily sang the melodious tune of the song. Listening to this song, one could not help but think of those young faces, as well as those lively and quiet figures. Chapter 41 ? 41 Poverty Limits One¡¯s Imagination, Come Over! The music gradually stopped, and the song ended. Momo asked in an expectant and nervous tone, ¡°Work Slayer, how was my singing?¡± She looked like a student who had just handed in her test paper. She was extremely nervous. Work Slayer: [Good!] Whoosh! Whoosh! The next moment, a dense rain of fire arrows flew across the screen. 10! 100! 200! 500! A total of 500 rockets filled the entire live stream! The live stream was first filled with exclamations. Then, someone sent a message. Similar: [Worship the God of Tycoons!] A Moment of Strength: [Look at my knees. I¡¯m kneeling. Is this enough?] Little Fatty: [Workers can come out at the top too!] Qiangzi: [My goal is to become an excellent worker!] ¡­ Momo¡¯s bright eyes flickered, and there were tears in them. She said excitedly, ¡°Thank you, thank you, God of Tycoons! ¡°God of Tycoons, do you have any other songs you want to hear? I¡¯ll continue to sing for you.¡± Lin Fan thought for a moment before sending out the message. Work Slayer: [¡®I Can¡¯ and ¡®I¡¯m Flammable and Explosive¡¯¡­ Do you know how to sing these two songs?] Momo quickly said, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll sing them for you now.¡± The music started, which was a cue for her to start singing. The styles of these two songs were different, but they did not stump Momo at all. She sang them both very well and displayed different characteristics. Lin Fan nodded his head slowly. Then, he tapped on the screen. Suddenly, the screen showing Momo¡¯s live broadcast was filled with a rain of rockets. 100! 200! 500! Another 500 rockets filled the screen of Momo¡¯s live broadcast! The entire screen of the live stream was filled with exclamations! Fate: [God of Tycoons, Xiao Ai sings very well too. I beg you to watch Xiao Ai¡¯s live broadcast.] ID: [That¡¯s right! Xiao Ai not only sings well, but she¡¯s also very good-looking!] ¡­ After Lin Fan saw these comments, he searched for the name ¡®Xiao Ai¡¯. Soon, a pure and sweet face appeared before his eyes. [Face Value: 93] [Favorability: 60] At the same time, a notification appeared in Xiao AI¡¯s live broadcast room. Welcome to the live stream. Let Nature Take Its Course: [The God of Tycoons has come to Xiao Ai¡¯s live broadcast room!!!] All the Way to the West: [A distinguished guest is here! Welcome, God of Tycoons!] Heaven and Earth: [It¡¯s the God of Tycoons!] ¡­ Naturally, Xiao Ai also knew about Work Slayer. Her entire body shook excitedly as she said happily, ¡°Welcome to my live broadcast.¡± Work Slayer: [Thank you, everyone. Thank you, Xiao Ai.] Work Slayer: [Xiao Ai, can you sing a song called Red High Heels?] ¡°Of course!¡± Xiao Ai quickly replied. ¡°Please wait a moment, Mr. Tycoon.¡± Soon, a light-hearted song started playing in the live broadcast. ¡°How should I describe you? ¡°How can I be compared to you?¡± ¡­ ¡°Can you make me stop this pursuit? ¡°This is the only pair of red high heels I have.¡± The music stopped. Work Slayer said: [Not bad.] The next moment¡­ 10! 100! 200! 500! Rockets filled covered the entire screen of the live broadcast. After Lin Fan gave the 500 rockets, he ignored the countless comments of admiration and Xiao Ai¡¯s heartfelt gratitude. He returned to Xiang Xiang¡¯s live stream and gave another 500 rockets. Then, he left Sharkstream and took off his headphones. After all, Lin Fan still had classes in the afternoon. Also, Lin Fan¡¯s fingers were starting to feel sore from clicking on the rockets. He had to take a rest! ¡°Hahaha! Did you guys see that? Did you see that? Xiang Xiang was rewarded 1,500 rockets by the godly Work Slayer!¡± Zheng Jinbao shouted excitedly, ¡°I told you Xiang Xiang will be popular one day!¡± Zheng Jinbao was so happy that he was dancing with joy, and the fat on his body shook up and down. It was as if he had received the 1,500 rockets as a reward. ¡°Oh my God, another 500 rockets! What kind of god-like rich man is he?!¡± Song Yi sighed. Zheng Jinbao shouted, ¡°He¡¯s the work slayer! He¡¯s a man of high status!¡± After a pause, he made up his mind and said, ¡°In the future, I want to become an outstanding worker!¡± Ma Zhong, who had always loved to learn, had been paying attention to the conversation between the two. At this moment, he finally put down his book and could not help but ask, ¡°What are you guys talking about? What gift of 1,500 rockets?¡± Song Yi said, ¡°About 20 minutes ago, a godly tycoon called Work Slayer appeared on Sharkstream. Not only did he give 1,500 rockets to Xiang Xiang, but he also gave 1,000 and 500 rockets to Momo and Xiao Ai respectively! ¡°In total, he¡¯s given 3,000 rockets! ¡°One rocket costs 1,000 yuan! ¡°3,000 rockets! That¡¯s a total of three million yuan!¡± ¡°What? He gave away three million?¡± Ma Zhong¡¯s eyes widened. Although he had already guessed that something big had happened in the live broadcast just now, he did not expect the matter to be so serious! Three million yuan was spent in 20 minutes? Poverty had limited his imagination! ¡­ Sharkstream¡¯s headquarters. The general manager said, ¡°He gave 3,000 rockets all at once? Quickly check the source of the Sharkstream coins.¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with the source!¡± the technical manager said. ¡°Good, haha!¡± The general manager was extremely excited. ¡°Quick, spread the news all over the internet!¡± The internet picked up on news extremely fast, and with Sharkstream¡¯s intentional publicity ¡­ Very quickly, the God of Tycoons became one of Weibo¡¯s most searched topics, attracting the worship of countless people. Lin Fan did not pay much attention to any of this. At this moment, he, Ma Zhong, Song Yi, and Zheng Jinbao had already arrived at the classroom. It was the old professor¡¯s class this afternoon, and all the students in the class were already yawning and feeling drowsy. However¡­ The next moment, everyone straightened their backs as if they had been revitalized. The person who walked into the classroom was not the old professor but Hu Tian. Today, Hu Tian¡¯s beautiful hair was tied up high. With her light red long dress and her hair tied into a bun, she looked dignified and beautiful. She looked like a noble princess, mesmerizing people. Hu Tian said, ¡°Professor Wan had something to do at the last minute today. He asked me to help him with this lesson. Everyone, please tell me where Professor Wan left off, or you can tell me what you don¡¯t understand.¡± ¡°We¡¯re at page 20!¡± ¡°The basic content of number theory!¡± ¡°Function!¡± The moment Hu Tian finished speaking, the entire classroom was filled with shouts of excitement. In the eyes of the students, this was the best time to communicate with Tiantian. Hu Tian nodded and said, ¡°Okay then. I¡¯ll give you a brief lesson on number theory¡­¡± Today was Friday. In the past, all the students would want to finish class early and get out of school as soon as possible so that they could start the wonderful weekend. However, today, all the students hoped that the class would go on a little slower and longer. This way, they could spend more time with Tiantian. However, time would not change just because of their thoughts. With a light ring of the bell, the last class for the week came to an end. ¡°That¡¯s all for today¡¯s class,¡± Hu Tian said as she kept her textbook. ¡°Lin Fan, come over for a moment.¡± Lin Fan wondered, ¡®Is it about the twin prime number conjecture again?¡¯ With that in mind, Lin Fan slowly got up and followed Hu Tian out of the classroom. Behind him, all the students were looking at him with murderous eyes. Chapter 42 ? 42 Mathematical Modeling Competition; Pretend Not to See! Lin Fan stepped away from Hu Tian and followed closely behind her. He could see Hu Tian¡¯s figure that was like the outline of a vase. He praised in his heart, ¡®No wonder everyone likes her so much. Just her back view alone makes her incomparable to many other women.¡¯ Hu Tian slowly turned around and asked, ¡°I heard you signed up for the National Mathematical Modeling Competition?¡± Lin fan couldn¡¯t help but recall Sun Yaodong¡¯s figure trotting all the way after he agreed to sign up. He thought, ¡®Coach Sun sure gets things done fast.¡¯ ¡°Yes.¡± Lin Fan nodded helplessly. When Hu Tian heard this, a faint smile appeared on her face. She said, ¡°I was a little worried about our school¡¯s results in the competition. ¡°Now it seems like I don¡¯t have to worry at all.¡± She paused for a second and said, ¡°However, I really didn¡¯t expect you to participate in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition. Don¡¯t you feel like you¡¯ll be bullying a child?¡± Hu Tian was very clear on the extent of Lin Fan¡¯s mathematical knowledge. He had even surpassed most mathematics professors. This was also the reason why Hu Tian often looked for Lin Fan to discuss problems. From Hu Tian¡¯s point of view, Lin Fan participating in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition was like a high school student taking an elementary school mathematics exam. If this was not considered bullying a child, what was? Lin Fan shook his head. ¡°Teacher Tiantian, you¡¯ve overestimated me. I don¡¯t even know what kind of competition the National Mathematical Modeling Competition is.¡± Even though Lin Fan had Professor-Level Mathematics Experience, that was only in terms of problem-solving thinking, application of formulas, calculation, and other aspects. His ability for those far exceeded ordinary people¡¯s. He did not know much about these events, nor did he pay special attention to them. Hu Tian looked at Lin Fan with a strange expression. He did not know what competition it was, yet he signed up for it? However, she did not probe further and explained, ¡°The National Mathematical Modeling Competition is a national group competition. Each group will consist of two computer science students and one mathematics student. The specific division of labor is mathematics and computer design. ¡°Two computer science students?¡± Lin Fan frowned. He had just entered Jiangbei University and did not know any computer science students. What should he do? Hu Tian seemed to understand Lin Fan¡¯s concerns. She smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ve already found you two very cute computer geniuses. I guarantee you¡¯ll be satisfied.¡± She paused for a second before continuing, ¡°Oh yeah, you have to go to Room 305 in the No. 1 Training Building. You have to familiarize yourself with the two students from the computing department. You can also listen to the professor explain the specific rules of the competition.¡± ¡°I thought you were going to be our teaching professor,¡± Lin Fan said. Hu Tian paused for a moment before she explained, ¡°The person guiding you is Professor Zhang from our School of Mathematics. He has a high level of attainment in mathematical modeling, so he¡¯s more suitable to guide you.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head. Then, Hu Tian seemed to have something to say. After saying a few more words, she strode toward the office with her long, fair legs. ¡­ Training Building No. 1, Room 305. There were about 20 tables in the spacious room, and each table had a computer. At this moment¡­ The beautiful twins, Xia Bing and Xia Xue, were quietly sitting in two of the seats. They took out their phones and clicked on Lin Fan¡¯s name with great familiarity. They continued to write in the chat box that had already been filled with hundreds of words. While the beautiful twins were typing seriously, Lin Fan finally arrived at Room 305. Lin Fan immediately saw the beautiful twins. One wore a long red dress while the other a long blue dress. He was stunned. Why were they here? Could it be¡­ Were they the cute computer geniuses that Tiantian mentioned? They were indeed very cute! However, they were computer geniuses? He was not able to tell at all! Lin Fan walked slowly toward the beautiful twins with doubts in his heart. When he reached the beautiful twins, Lin Fan was once again stunned. He found that the beautiful twins were writing almost the same message that was supposed to be sent to him. [Hello, are you asleep? Thank you for stopping the basketball and saving me¡­ [The moon is so round tonight. Do you see it¡­ [You weren¡¯t playing basketball today. Will you go tomorrow¡­ [There are so many stars in the sky today, and the weather should be good tomorrow. Will you go play basketball¡­ [It¡¯ll be great to finally see you play basketball again¡­ [Will you send us a message tomorrow?] ¡­ [The teacher helped us sign up for the National Mathematical Modeling Competition. I don¡¯t know who we¡¯ll be forming a team with, so I¡¯m a little nervous¡­ Oh right, I forgot to ask which department you¡¯re from¡­] When Lin Fan saw this, it was as though he had been cast with a freezing spell. He finally understood why the beautiful twins had not messaged him. It was because they had been hesitant! Even though the chat box was filled with words, they did not dare to click ¡®send¡¯. Lin Fan also knew that the beautiful twins liked him. In fact, their favorability had reached 99 points. However, Lin Fan felt that as long as he did not take the initiative go over and chat with them, he would not meet them again. In that case, the twin¡¯s favorability toward him should slowly decrease. They would slowly forget about him. Time could wash away everything. At this moment, Lin Fan finally understood that he had been wrong. Furthermore, he had made an outrageous mistake! The beautiful twins¡¯ feelings for him had been deeply ingrained in their bones. Their feelings were like a bottle of fine wine. The longer it was, the richer it would be! At this time, the beautiful twins seemed to notice that there was someone beside them and turned to the side. The next moment, their eyes met. The beautiful twins were stunned. It was him! He had actually appeared in front of them! The faces of the beautiful twins revealed a touch of unconcealed joy. Then, they seemed to have thought of something. They quickly each took out a bottle of energy drink from their backpacks and handed it to Lin Fan. At this moment, Professor Zhang, who had a receding hairline, walked in. ¡°Eh, you¡¯re all here?¡± he laughed. However, the beautiful twins seemed to not have heard him. They continued to look at Lin Fan with anticipation. Human hearts were made of flesh. The twin beauties were so infatuated with him, so how could Lin Fan be indifferent? Finally, Lin Fan slowly opened his arms and pulled the beautiful twins into his embrace. The beautiful twins¡¯ heartbeats were racing as they felt Lin Fan¡¯s body temperature and smelled his unique scent¡­ Their pretty faces were flushed red. He¡­ He was hugging them! Professor Zhang, who was standing in the distance, saw this. His mouth was half-open, and his face was blank. That was right! The university did not prohibit students from dating. Some students even got married and had children while still in university. However, those relationships were monogamous. What was the situation now? A male student was hugging two students at the same time right in front of him. What should he do? P-Pretend not to see? Chapter 43 ? 43 Good News; Sold Out by Others in the Blink of an Eye! If Professor Zhang had come silently earlier and left silently now, it would not have been a big deal. However, the key point was that he had just greeted them. After hesitating for a long time, Professor Zhang finally coughed and said, ¡°You guys must be Lin Fan from the mathematics department and Xia Bing and Xia Xue from the computer department, right?¡± Lin Fan seemed to have just noticed Professor Zhang. He slowly let go of Xia Bing and Xia Xue before saying, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s me.¡± Professor Zhang was indeed a professor. He had seen countless storms and quickly forgot about the scene just now. ¡°Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Yong, a professor in the School of Mathematics. ¡°Mathematical modeling is an important method that uses mathematical tools and a computer to build a model, thus solving practical problems¡­ ¡°Of course, you¡¯re all the best in your respective departments, so I won¡¯t waste my breath on these simple conceptual explanations.¡± Zhang Yong laughed. After a pause, Zhang Yong continued, ¡°Lin Fan, you should know about Xia Bing and Xia Xue¡¯s situation. So, you¡¯re not only responsible for mathematical calculations and thesis but also for verbal communication¡­ Do you have a problem with that?¡± However, Zhang Yong did not wait for his answer and continued, ¡°It¡¯s good that there¡¯s no problem.¡± Lin Fan was speechless. Did he say anything? ¡®Professor Zhang, is it really alright for you to make a decision on my behalf like this?¡¯ Zhang Yong recalled that Lin Fan had already hugged Xia Bing and Xia Xue in his arms. He even formed a team with the two of them to participate in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition. He must have made all these preparations beforehand. ¡°Let¡¯s start with some simple training,¡± Zhang Yong said. Zhang Yong glanced around the classroom and said, ¡°Now, use your mathematical knowledge to design a comfortable chair.¡± If it was someone else who suddenly heard this question, they would definitely be confused. A chair was just a chair, no? Did they even need to use mathematical knowledge to design one? However, Lin Fan was different. A large amount of data appeared in his mind. Then, he turned to the beautiful twins and said, ¡°I¡¯ll do the calculations and you guys design it. How about it?¡± At this time, the faces of the beautiful twins were still flushed. After they heard Lin Fan¡¯s words, they nodded their heads excitedly. Soon, the rhythmic tapping of the keyboard sounded in Training Room 305. In just a few hours, a modern-looking chair with perfect statistics appeared on the computer desktop. Seeing this¡­ Zhang Yong¡¯s mouth was half-open, and he was completely stunned. ¡°Good, very good! Your mathematical modeling abilities are better than I thought! ¡°If you guys can perform well during the National Mathematical Modeling Competition, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem to win a national award.¡± Zhang Yong¡¯s face was full of smiles. Jiangbei University was one of the top ten universities in the country, but they had little honor in the field of mathematics in recent years. This made the mathematics professors feel embarrassed. If they could win a national award, it would be a good thing. ¡°No, I have to get professor Hu Tian to help train you guys. She¡¯s an expert in mathematical modeling. ¡°With her help, you might have a chance to win the Higher Education Cup!¡± Zhang Yong¡¯s face was filled with excitement. It was as if the three of them had already won the Higher Education Cup. The Higher Education Cup referred to the first place in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition! One had to know¡­ that Jiangbei University had never won the Higher Education Cup since its establishment. If it could be achieved this year, it would be an absolute honor for Jiangbei University, especially for the School of Mathematics. Thus, Zhang Yong gave a few more casual instructions and hurriedly walked out of Room 305. It was obvious that he was planning to look for Hu Tian and the other higher-ups to discuss this matter. After Lin Fan heard Zhang Yong¡¯s words, he had a strange look on his face. Zhang Yong said that Hu Tian was an expert in mathematical modeling? With her help, they would have a chance to compete for the Higher Education Cup? However, did Hu Tian not say that Zhang Yong had a high level of attainment in mathematical modeling? She even said that Zhang Yong was more suitable to guide them! Lin Fan looked at Zhang Yong¡¯s back as he left. He shook his head and put this matter to the back of his mind. Then, Lin Fan glanced at the empty training room and the almost perfect chair on the two computer screens. He could not help but recall Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s incomparably skilled movements and superb skills when they were operating the computers. He could not help but say, ¡°Can you guys help me look for something on the internet?¡± Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s two small heads were like chicks pecking at rice as they constantly nodded. To them, being able to help Lin fan was definitely a very blissful thing. Lin Fan said, ¡°I want to find a hundred-year-old ginseng. Can you guys check where I can buy it?¡± During this period of time, he had been searching for information on the hundred-year-old ginseng on the internet. However, he did not manage to find anything. Lin Fan often thought that maybe it was because his computer skills were too bad. Now that he realized Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s skills in computer technology had far surpassed superhuman technology, he could not help but make that request. Room 305 of the No. 1 Training Building, which had been quiet for a moment, was once again filled with rhythmic sounds. At the same time, dense characters appeared on the two computer screens. Very quickly, a piece of news was locked onto the two computer screens. On September 7th, Jingbei Xinyue Hotel would hold an auction, and one of the items was from the Ming dynasty. It was Wang Duo¡¯s ¡®Mountain-Like Pure Invitation.¡¯ It was a green chrysanthemum bowl that stored a hundred-year-old ginseng¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw this. 7th of September. Was that not tomorrow? Perhaps he would be able to obtain the hundred-year-old ginseng tomorrow and obtain the right to purchase medical potions. ¡°Xia Bing, Xia Xue, you guys have really helped me a lot!¡± Lin Fan said happily. Hearing Lin Fan¡¯s praise, Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s faces immediately bloomed like a flower, looking extremely radiant. Since the auction was tomorrow, Lin Fan did not stay in Room 305 for too long. He had to hurry to Jingbei. ¡­ At this moment, Zhang Yong quickly walked into the office. ¡°Good news, good news!¡± Zhang Yong said excitedly. ¡°What good news is it?¡± a teacher asked. Zhang Yong said, ¡°For this year¡¯s National Mathematical Modeling Competition, our school will have at least one national award! Don¡¯t you guys think it¡¯s good news?¡± ¡°Really?¡± ¡°How can it be fake? In fact, if Professor Hu Tian can help with the training, I think it¡¯s not impossible for us to win the Higher Education Cup!¡± Zhang Yong said excitedly. As soon as he said that, the teachers in the office all let out sounds of surprise. ¡°You¡¯re talking about Lin Fan¡¯s team, right?¡± Hu Tian asked. ¡°It seems like you know them too. Professor Hu Tian, come with me to train them tomorrow,¡± Zhang Yong said. However, Hu Tian shook her head and said, ¡°I won¡¯t train them.¡± ¡°Why is that? Professor Hu Tian, I can guarantee that they¡¯re the most talented team members I¡¯ve ever seen!¡± Zhang Yong said. ¡°I¡¯ve already spoken to the director and the others about this. So, you don¡¯t have to try to persuade me,¡± Hu Tian said. Zhang Yong looked at her determined expression and sighed. ¡°This¡­ Okay. Sigh, I just told Lin Fan and the others that if you helped train them, they might be able to win the Higher Education Cup. I¡¯m afraid they¡¯re going to be disappointed now.¡± When Hu Tian heard this, she could not help but rub her forehead as she thought to herself, ¡®How could Zhang Yong say such things so quickly?¡¯ She had just told Lin Fan that Zhang Yong was the most suitable person to train them, but she was already sold out at the next moment. Chapter 44 ? 44 Heading to Tingfeng Villa in the Capital! Jiangbei University, Room 104. Just as Lin Fan walked in, Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Jinbao all turned their gazes over. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, did teacher Tiantian ask you to go to her office to discuss math problems again?¡± Song Yi asked. At this point, the eyes of the three people were a little red. Envy and jealousy! He was alone with teacher Tiantian for several hours! What a happy event! ¡°No,¡± Lin Fan replied. ¡°Teacher Tiantian asked me to go to the training building to participate in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition. ¡°Training for the National Mathematical Modeling Competition?¡± Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Jinbao all revealed a puzzled look. Obviously, none of them had received such a notice. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s Teacher Tiantian who¡¯s giving you training?¡± asked Zheng Jinbao. As soon as he said that, the eyes of the three people turned red again. ¡°It¡¯s a professor called Zhang Yong,¡± Lin Fan said. Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Jinbao nodded in realization, and their expressions gradually returned to normal. It did not matter if he received training or not. What was important was Teacher Tiantian! Song Yi saw that Lin Fan was packing his luggage and asked, ¡°Lin Fan, where are you going?¡± ¡°I have something urgent to attend to. I need to go to Jingbei,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Be careful on your journey,¡± Song Yi said. Lin Fan nodded his head and strode outside. He had not gone far when the phone in his pocket rang. It was a call from Liu Yuhang. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, I have good news for you. I have found the whereabouts of a hundred-year-old ginseng!¡± Liu Yuhang¡¯s excited voice came through the phone. ¡°Is it the auction at Jiangbei Xinyue Hotel?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Eh? You already know about that?¡± Liu Yuhang was surprised. After hearing Liu Yuhang¡¯s words, Lin Fan¡¯s face lit up with joy. In fact, when Xia Bing and Xia Xue found out about the auction on the internet, Lin Fan could not be absolutely sure if there was really a hundred-year-old ginseng there. However, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would go to the capital to take a look. Now, after hearing the news from Liu Yuhang, Lin Fan immediately understood that there was indeed a hundred-year-old ginseng in the capital! ¡°Yes, I just got the news. I¡¯m preparing to go to Jingbei now,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Oh? I haven¡¯t been to Jingbei in a while. How about I go with you?¡± Liu Yuhang said. ¡°That would be great,¡± Lin Fan said. Lin Fan was not sure if the auction at Xinyue Hotel required an invitation or something like that. Now that Liu Yuhang was coming with him, it would save him a lot of trouble. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll see you at the airport!¡± Liu Yuhang said. As a large city in the central region, the scene of the airport in Jiangbei city was extremely grand. Even at night, it was crowded and noisy. Liu Yuhang, who was wearing a gray shirt and big-rimmed glasses, stood in the distance. He kept waving and saying, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, over here!¡± Lin Fan looked at his watch and said, ¡°It¡¯s almost time. Let¡¯s go board the plane.¡± ¡°Vacheron Constantin Tour de L¡¯Ile! Brother Lin Fan, I didn¡¯t expect you to get your hands on this watch!¡± Liu Yuhang shouted excitedly. ¡°It¡¯s just a watch. It¡¯s nothing to Liu Medical, right?¡± Lin Fan said. Liu Yuhang smiled bitterly. ¡°My father controls all of Liu Medical¡¯s funds. He only gives me some pocket money every year.¡± ¡°In order to buy a Lamborghini, I had to save and live frugally for almost a year. If I want to buy this Vacheron Constantin Tour de L¡¯Ile, I¡¯ll have to save and live frugally for another year!¡± He saved his pocket money for a year to buy a Lamborghini? Liu Yuhang sighed and said, ¡°Your parents are the best! You can just buy a Lamborghini and Vacheron Constantin Tour de L¡¯Ile.¡± After a pause, he continued, ¡°By the way, Brother Lin Fan, is it convenient for you to tell me what your family does? Our two families might be able to join hands to do some business in the future.¡± In Liu Yuhang¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan not only had a Lamborghini but also Vacheron Constantin Tour de L¡¯Iler. His financial power was undeniable. Furthermore, Lin Fan was also very close to Song Jiaxin. His family¡¯s power was definitely not ordinary. If Liu Medical and Lin fan¡¯s family could get closer, it would be a great thing. Lin Fan thought for a moment and immediately understood what Liu Yuhang was thinking. He said honestly, ¡°My family only has a small clothing store in Qing City. I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t do business with your family.¡± Liu Yuhang did not trust that Lin Fan¡¯s family just ran a small clothing store. He thought that Lin Fan was just being humble. Liu Yuhang had been thinking about the biggest clothing company in Qing City, but he had no idea what it could be. Liu Yuhang said, ¡°That¡¯s still uncertain! Who knows? Maybe one day our two families might work together on some project.¡± Lin Fan chuckled and did not explain much. The two of them chatted as they walked and went straight to the airport¡¯s VIP waiting room. They boarded the first-class cabin in advance. The plane flew smoothly and arrived in Jingbei in about two hours. When the two of them walked out of the airport, an impressive-looking Mercedes-Benz S500 was already waiting not far away. Liu Medical¡¯s largest branch was located in Jingbei, and this Mercedes-Benz S500 was the company¡¯s car. Lin Fan sat in the quiet Mercedes-Benz S500, looking at the tall buildings in the distance and the courtyards that were full of the aura of the times. He nodded slightly. He praised in his heart, ¡®As expected of the economic and cultural center of the country.¡¯ Liu Yuhang put down his phone and smiled excitedly. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, we¡¯ve come at the right time! There¡¯s actually a match at Tingfeng Villa today! It¡¯s still early. Let¡¯s go have some fun together. How about it?¡± Through the matter of searching for a hundred-year-old Ganoderma and a hundred-year-old ginseng, Lin Fan understood that it was necessary to make friends with some people. In addition, he had nothing to do at night anyway, so it was fine to play. ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ll definitely be satisfied!¡± Liu Yuhang laughed. Tingfeng Villa was located near Jingbei¡¯s Third Ring Road. It was a large villa shaped like a palace. At this moment, all kinds of luxury cars, such as Ferraris, Porsches, and Bentleys, were lined up neatly at the entrance. The courtyard of Tingfeng Villa was extremely spacious. The dining table was filled with roasted meat, top-grade sashimi, foie gras, and many other delicacies. Beautiful women in branded clothes and bikinis were walking back and forth around the heated pool in the middle. They laughed and giggled, making it very lively. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, have you found anyone you like?¡± Liu Yuhang whispered. ¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡± Lin Fan shook his head. Liu Yuhang said, ¡°There are so many of them and you still haven¡¯t found one you like? Brother Lin Fan, your standards are as high as mine!¡± As he said this, he happened to see a beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure in a patterned bikini. His eyes lit up as he said, ¡°Take your time, then. I¡¯ll excuse myself first.¡± Liu Yuhang tidied his clothes, picked up a glass of red wine, and strode toward a bikini-clad girl. Chapter 45 ? 45 Entering Xinyue Hotel After Causing So Much Trouble At this moment, a beautiful woman with long black hair and exquisite facial features slowly walked in. She was wearing a white one-piece dress that complemented her jade-like skin and highlighted her perfect figure. In Lin Fan¡¯s memory, Manager Han¡¯s figure was similar to hers. However, she was more beautiful than Manager Han. Perhaps only Teacher Tiantian could be compared to her. Lin Fan could not help but use his Eyes of Truth to observe. [Face Value: 97] [Favorability: 50] Her face value was 97! She was only slightly inferior to Tiantian. Without a doubt, she was a super beauty. Many of the men at Tingfeng Villa also noticed her. They could not wait and walked toward the beauty in the dress. Among them¡­ included Liu Yuhang, who was walking toward the bikini-clad girl with a glass of red wine in his hand. Very quickly, the beauty in the dress was surrounded. When Lin Fan saw this, he shook his head slightly. Beautiful women were good, but if he had to stick to them like a dog, that was something he could never do. Lin Fan scanned his surroundings, and his gaze landed on a white piano not far away. It was really boring to just stand there. Thus, Lin Fan strolled to the piano and sat down. He first looked around, took a deep breath, and then placed his long fingers on the black and white keys. Instantly, a light and gentle note jumped out from his fingers. The beauties who were playing gradually stopped talking and looked over. The bikini-clad beauties who were swimming in the pool suddenly jumped out of the water and listened quietly as well. Even the beautiful woman in the dress in the distance started to look up. All of their eyes were on the piano and on Lin Fan! As the piano played, they seemed to see themselves grow wings in their minds. They turned into beautiful butterflies, flying freely. They were relaxed, free, and extremely happy. In their eyes, Lin Fan was like a butterfly that was blooming in a sea of flowers. It was mesmerizing. They¡­ They were all a little dazed. At the end of the song, the audience immediately burst into a warm round of applause. ¡°You played so nicely!¡± ¡°That was great!¡± The beauty in the dress even took the initiative to walk up to him with her long legs. ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve heard someone play ¡®Dream of Love¡¯ so well,¡± she said with a smile. Lin Fan did not expect her to come over. He was stunned for a moment before saying, ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡± ¡°Do you want a drink?¡± The beauty in the dress handed him a glass of red wine. Lin Fan did not reply. He took the red wine and lightly brushed hands with the lady in the dress. Then, he slowly poured the contents of the glass into his mouth. ¡°It¡¯s silky and sweet when it goes down the throat, but it doesn¡¯t its fragrance. There¡¯s also an aftertaste. It¡¯s not a bad wine,¡± Lin Fan commented. ¡°Sir, do you also know about wine?¡± The beautiful eyes of the beauty in the dress flickered as she said. Even though Lin Fan¡¯s drinking actions were simple, he was skilled and smooth as flowing water. He appeared extremely free and easy. Coupled with the appropriate comments, it was as if he was the maker of the wine. It was truly fascinating. Drinking Gentleman had infinite charm! ¡°I know a little,¡± Lin Fan said. It was rare to see someone so polite and humble! As their conversation went on, the lady in the dress found Lin Fan more incomprehensible. She felt that Lin Fan was even more mysterious. She could not help but want to get closer to him and get to know him¡­ The beautiful women who had been chatting with the men around them no longer had any thoughts of talking to them. From time to time, they would look at Lin Fan and the beauty in the dress. They were hoping that the beautiful lady in the dress would suddenly leave Lin Fan¡¯s side. That way, they might have a chance. However¡­ Their expectations were in vain. In the end, Lin Fan hugged the slim waist of the beauty and slowly walked toward a private room in Tingfeng Villa. That night, neither Lin Fan nor the beautiful woman in the dress slept. However, the bed in the private room shook the entire night. ¡­. The next day. When Lin Fan opened his eyes, he was the only one in the room. Lin Fan looked at the white bed sheet that had disappeared and the stack of red bills on the table. He blinked and muttered, ¡°This¡­ What is this?¡± Lin Fan shook his head, then put on his clothes and got out of bed. Ding! Ding! At that moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. Two text messages appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 710,300 yuan has been deposited into your account at 12:00 AM] [Notice from Merchant Bank: 65 million yuan has been deposited into your account at 10:10 AM] Lin Fan was not surprised by the first piece of news. That was because he would receive around 700,000 yuan every morning. However, what was the second message about? 65 million yuan? Ring, ring, ring! Just as Lin Fan was feeling puzzled, his phone rang. Lin Fan looked at the caller ID. It was the property manager of Qiankun building, Wang Zhongde. After seeing that, Lin Fan immediately had a guess about the 65 million yuan transfer. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. I¡¯m Little Wang from Qiankun building. May I know if I¡¯m disturbing your rest?¡± Wang Zhongde said carefully. If the bosses of the companies in Qiankun building knew that Wang Zhongde called himself Little Wang and was so careful, it was uncertain what their expressions would be. ¡°No, I¡¯ve been awake for a while. Do you need something?¡± ¡°According to your request, I collected next year¡¯s rent from all the companies in Qiankun building yesterday. The total is 65 million Yuan,¡± Wang Zhongde quickly said. ¡°I wanted to transfer the money to you yesterday, but there was a problem with the banking system, so I only received the notification today. Have you received it, Mr. Lin?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°You did well. I¡¯ve already received it.¡± ¡°Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Lin. This is something I should do.¡± Wang Zhongde said happily. ¡°In that case, I won¡¯t disturb your rest. Goodbye.¡± Even Lin Fan could not help but smile when he suddenly received 65 million. Right now, Lin Fan¡¯s funds had already reached a huge amount of 81 million. Liu Yuhang was already waiting for him downstairs at Tingfeng Villa. When he saw Lin Fan, he shouted, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you really made us suffer yesterday.¡± ¡°You guys?¡± Lin Fan was confused. ¡°Didn¡¯t you? Yesterday, all the beauties were attracted to you, and almost none of the others succeeded! That includes me!¡± Liu Yuhang shouted. As he said this, his eyes seemed to be a little red. He felt wronged and helpless. It was not easy for him to encounter the situation at Tingfeng Villa. Lin Fan did not expect such an outcome. He coughed lightly and said, ¡°By the way, when is the auction at Xinyue Hotel?¡± Liu Yuhang looked at the time. ¡°12:30. Let¡¯s go now. It should be about time.¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go then.¡± Lin Fan nodded. Xinyue Hotel was located on the Second Ring Road of Jingbei. The entire hotel¡¯s outer wall was made of marble, looking extremely fashionable. The interior of the hotel was decorated in a Chinese style, with carved railings, jade tiles, lanterns hanging high, and a wisp of sandalwood fragrance drifting in the air. It gave people a sense of calmness and peace. After Liu Yuhang announced the name of Liu Medical, he was assigned to a private room on the third floor. The room was not big, but it was decorated with high-quality mahogany tables and chairs. After Liu Yuhang and Lin Fan entered the room, a waitress with a good figure came in with a smile. The waitress handed over a menu wrapped in real leather and said, ¡°Is there anything you two need?¡± Liu Yuhang pushed the menu to Lin Fan and said, ¡°The tea and food here are all pretty good. Brother Lin Fan, see if there¡¯s anything you¡¯d like to eat.¡± Lin Fan casually flipped through it and said, ¡°A pot of Longjing tea, shrimp with jaded strips, green vegetables, saut¨¦ed vermicelli with spicy minced pork, chicken soup, roast duck, and desserts.¡± Lin Fan had only ordered a pot of tea, five dishes, and a snack. However, this was the Xinyue Hotel. Even the cheapest vegetable dishes cost 300 yuan a serving, and the other dishes¡­ Including Longjing tea and the rest, they were all more than 1,000 yuan. The cost of this meal was already close to 20,000 yuan. Of course, to Lin Fan and Liu Yuhang, it was just a small amount of money. It was nothing. Chapter 46 ? 46 A Wine Dispenser; A Waste Sitting in the private room, he looked down at the lanterns hanging high in the lobby of Xinyue Hotel. The exquisite carvings and ancient decorations gave him a different feeling. ¡°Are there any specific rules for the auction here?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°There aren¡¯t many rules. After you take a fancy to an item, you just have to raise the paddle on the table and increase the price,¡± Liu Yuhang said. ¡°However, there is one thing you need to know,¡± Liu Yuhang continued. ¡°Before the auction, you must have enough money. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe.¡± This was no doubt a rule set for those who bid randomly. Lin Fan nodded his head. The two chatted for a while until Liu Yuhang¡¯s stomach suddenly felt uncomfortable, so he left the room. It was 12:00 PM. The phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket vibrated. Red packets had appeared! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,000 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one bottle of Han Emperor Maotai.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 2,000 yuan.] This time, Lin Fan received a total of 30,000 yuan and a bottle of Han Emperor Maotai. When Lin Fan raised his head, a bottle of Han Emperor Maotai, which was carved with an exquisite dragon pattern and looked like a jade seal, appeared in front of him. At the same time, Liu Yuhang pushed the door open and returned to the room. He looked at the weirdly-shaped Han Emperor Maotai on the table and asked, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, what¡¯s this?¡± ¡°Wine, fine wine! Do you want to try it?¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Fine wine? Of course, I have to taste it! Just by looking at the packaging, I can tell that the taste is definitely not bad!¡± Liu Yuhang licked his lips and said excitedly. Obviously, he was also a person who liked wine. Lin Fan picked up the bottle and was about to pour it into the glass in front of him. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, let¡¯s pour the wine into the wine dispenser first,¡± Liu Yuhang said. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Fan poured the wine into the wine dispenser. Immediately, a strong wine fragrance filled the entire private room. Liu Yuhang said, ¡°What a fragrant wine! And the design is so beautiful!¡± Liu Yuhang could not help but gulp. Lin Fan looked at his excited expression and immediately filled his glass. Liu Yuhang did not hold back and finished the drink in one gulp. He praised, ¡°Good wine, good wine!¡± Lin Fan took a sip as well. After closing his eyes, he nodded his head. At this moment, a white-haired old man in a Tang suit and a tall beauty happened to pass by the private room. The old man sniffed and let out a soft sound. After a slight pause, he knocked on the door. Liu Yuhang, who was enjoying the wine, asked, ¡°Do we still have any dishes that haven¡¯t been served?¡± ¡°They should all be here,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Please come in.¡± Liu Yuhang frowned. When he saw that it was an old man and a beautiful lady, Lin Fan¡¯s face was filled with doubt. Liu Yuhang¡¯s mouth was half-open, and he was completely stunned. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to have disturbed your meal,¡± the old man said apologetically. When Liu Yuhang heard the old man¡¯s voice, he slowly closed his mouth and said, ¡°No¡­ You¡¯re not disturbing us. Are you Elder Zhou?¡± ¡°Oh? You know me?¡± the old man said. Liu Yuhang¡¯s face was filled with respect when he heard the old man¡¯s answer. ¡°Hello, Mr. Zhou. I am Liu Sifang¡¯s grandson, Liu Yuhang. I¡¯ve followed my grandfather to the Northern Chamber of Commerce to meet you once,¡± Liu Yuhang said. Elder Zhou recalled for a moment. ¡°So you¡¯re Liu Sifang¡¯s grandson. Your grandfather¡¯s medical skills are very good. He even treated my illness in the past. The next time you see your grandfather, please send my regards.¡± ¡°Grandpa will be very happy to hear this,¡± Liu Yuhang said sincerely. If the Liu family was one of the top families in Jiangbei, then the Zhou family was one of the top families in the entire country! Elder Zhou, Zhou Guotao, was the backbone of the Zhou family! One could only imagine how noble his status was. It was no wonder Liu Yuhang was so respectful. It was like a commoner meeting a noble. ¡°Actually, the reason why I took the liberty to come in was that I was attracted by the wine¡¯s fragrance.¡± As Zhou Guotao spoke, his turbid eyes fell directly on the Han Emperor Maotai. A hint of reminiscence appeared on his old face. Liu Yuhang opened his mouth, but no words came out. After all, the Han Emperor Maotai was not his. Liu Yuhang did not say anything and immediately gave the whole bottle to Zhou Guotao. Fine wine was indeed delicious. However, if he could use this opportunity to befriend Zhou Guotao, it would definitely be a great thing. The problem was that the Han Emperor Maotai was Lin Fan¡¯s, so he could not say much. ¡°Old man, are you also a wine lover?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°I¡¯ve drunk it before. The taste is still fresh in my memory!¡± Zhou Guotao said. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°We were in the midst of eating. If you don¡¯t mind, why don¡¯t you sit down and join us?¡± ¡°Then I won¡¯t be polite.¡± Zhou Guotao laughed. The beauty standing beside him reminded him, ¡°Grandpa, your body¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s just a little wine. It¡¯s no big deal,¡± Zhou Guotao said. After he finished speaking, he sat down. When Zhou Guotao saw the wine dispenser, he frowned and said, ¡°You¡¯re drinking the Han Emperor Maotai that¡¯s worth more than 30 million yuan and you¡¯re using a wine dispenser? It¡¯s a bit of a waste.¡± Thump! Liu Yuhang¡¯s hands trembled when he heard Zhou Guotao¡¯s words. His chopsticks fell to the ground. He stuttered, ¡°E-Elder Zhou¡­ How much did you say the wine cost?¡± Zhou Guotao said, ¡°There were only 10 bottles of Han Emperor Maotai produced in 1992. According to statistics, a total of nine bottles of Han Emperor Maotai have been drunk so far. ¡°The last bottle was sold at an auction for 32 million two years ago. ¡°In front of you should be the only bottle of Han Emperor Maotai left in this world. If it were to be auctioned, the price would be at least 40 million!¡± If it was someone else who had said that it was worth more than 40 million, Liu Yuhang would have spat in their face. However, the person who said that was the backbone of the Zhou family, Zhou Guotao! That meant¡­ it was the truth! Gulp! Liu Yuhang swallowed hard, his face full of shock. A bottle of wine was worth more than 40 million yuan. He had just drunk a glass of it. How much was that? 500,000? One million? How much was the remaining wine in the wine dispenser? 300,000? 500,000? Even though Liu Yuhang was the young master of Liu Medical, he did not dare to spend like this. Then, Liu Yuhang¡¯s gaze returned to Lin Fan. Initially, Liu Yuhang thought that he was starting to understand Lin Fan. From the looks of it now, he might only know the tip of the iceberg of Lin Fan¡¯s abilities. He took out a bottle of Han Emperor Maotai that was worth more than 40 million yuan, and Lin Fan¡­ What was his identity? Chapter 47 ? 47 Grandpa Zhou; The Auction Begins! Naturally, Lin Fan did not know what Liu Yuhang was thinking. He just poured a glass of wine for Zhou Guotao and said, ¡°Old man, please.¡± Zhou Guotao did not stand on ceremony. He picked up the glass and sniffed it. Then, he slowly poured it into his mouth. Instantly, Zhou Guotao¡¯s old face was filled with reminiscence and enjoyment. ¡°Not bad. This is the taste. It¡¯s rich and mellow, the texture is delicate, and the aftertaste is endless! As expected of Han Emperor Maotai!¡± Zhou Guotao praised sincerely. Lin Fan said, ¡°It seems that you really like it. I still have some of it left, so I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± ¡°Oh? Kid, are you willing to part with your wine?¡± Zhou Guotao was surprised. ¡°This is the last bottle of the Han Emperor Maotai in the world.¡± Zhou Guotao was silently observing Lin Fan. He realized that his drinking actions were smooth and natural. He even had a bottle of Han Emperor Maotai. Obviously, he was also a person who liked wine. The old man knew very well how painful it was for a person who loved wine to give away a bottle of Han Emperor Maotai. It was definitely comparable to cutting his own flesh! Lin Fan said, ¡°Han Emperor Maotai is indeed rich, full, and complete. It has almost perfected every aspect of what a good wine should be! ¡°But sometimes, perfection doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s the best. Sometimes, a slight shortcoming makes the wine more layered. ¡°From this point of view, Five-Star and Fairy are more distinctive. ¡°I don¡¯t like the Han Emperor Maotai, so it should go to the people who appreciate it.¡± When Zhou Guotao heard Lin Fan¡¯s words, his wrinkled old face was filled with a strange light. A young man in his 20s actually understood wine to this extent. It was simply too rare. After a long while, Zhou Guotao laughed and said, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯d be impolite if I refused.¡± After a pause, he added, ¡°I haven¡¯t introduced myself yet. My name is Zhou Guotao. Kid, if you don¡¯t mind, you can call me ¡®Grandpa Zhou¡¯. How about it?¡± The beautiful woman standing next to him could not hide her surprise. She rarely saw her grandfather introduce himself to young men. He had even asked him to call her ¡®Grandpa Zhou¡¯. Although Han Emperor Maotai was precious, her grandfather received many more gifts that were more valuable than that. She had never seen her grandfather like this. Could it be that this young man had something special about him? When the beauty thought of this, she could not help but re-examine Lin Fan from head to toe. ¡°Hello Grandpa Zhou, I¡¯m Lin Fan,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Good, haha!¡± Zhou Guotao laughed. Ring, ring, ring! At this moment, a light-hearted tune was heard in Xinyue Hotel. Zhou Guotao said, ¡°The auction is about to start, so I won¡¯t be staying for long. Lin fan, I¡¯ll see you around.¡± ¡°Goodbye, Grandpa Zhou,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°See you later, Mr. Zhou,¡± Liu Yuhang said. After Zhou Guotao and the beauty left, Liu Yuhang said enviously, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you can actually call him ¡®Grandpa Zhou¡¯!¡± Lin Fan said calmly, ¡°He should be close to 80, right? What¡¯s the big deal with calling him ¡®Grandpa¡¯?¡± ¡°What? The reason why the Zhou family was able to become one of the top families in the country is all due to Elder Zhou¡¯s efforts! If other people know that you can call him ¡®Grandpa Zhou¡¯, they¡¯ll definitely be so jealous that their teeth will be ground to dust!¡± Liu Yuhang shouted excitedly. Lin Fan looked at Liu Yuhang with a smile. ¡®So jealous that their teeth will be ground to dust? Just like you?¡¯ Then, Liu Yuhang poured some water into the wine dispenser. He then grabbed the wine dispenser and drank the water. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°This is the last bottle of Han Emperor Maotai in the world. I can¡¯t waste it!¡± Liu Yuhang said. Lin Fan was speechless. ¡­ In another private room. The beauty first poured a cup of tea for Zhou Guotao, then could not help but say, ¡°Grandfather, why are you so friendly with that Lin Fan?¡± Zhou Guotao took a sip of tea and said, ¡°That kid is magnanimous and profound! His future is limitless, and he¡¯ll turn into a formidable figure!¡± The beautiful woman¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly. She rarely heard her grandfather give such a high evaluation of a young man. She could not help but look at Lin Fan¡¯s room as if she wanted to re-evaluate Lin Fan. At this time, a beautiful and graceful woman in a long red dress led five beautiful women with lanterns in their hands to the center of the lobby of Xinyue Hotel. ¡°Welcome to Xinyue Hotel, the beautiful woman said with a smile. ¡°Many treasures have been prepared for this auction. I hope you can buy something you like. ¡°In addition, 20% of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to charity in everyone¡¯s name¡­ ¡°Let today¡¯s auction begin!¡± The beautiful woman¡¯s voice was full of magnetism. Even though she had spoken in the middle of the lobby for a while, it did not cause any disgust in the crowd. On the contrary, it gave people the illusion that they were listening to a melodious song, which was very enjoyable. Soon, a round jade bowl with exquisite patterns was slowly brought up. ¡°This is the green chrysanthemum bowl from the Ming dynasty¡¯s official kiln,¡± the beautiful woman introduced. ¡°This bowl once followed Eunuch San Bao to the West. Be it the workmanship, the carvings, or the materials, they were all the best of the Ming dynasty. ¡°It can even be said to represent the peak of porcelain technology in the Ming dynasty¡­ The starting price is 300,000.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, someone immediately raised their paddle. ¡°500,000!¡± ¡°800,000!¡± ¡­ When the price reached two million, the bidding slowed down significantly. In the end, the Ming dynasty green chrysanthemum bowl was sold for 2.3 million yuan. Following that, the beautiful woman held an auction for two more pieces of porcelain and a painting. Liu Yuhang and Lin Fan were not interested in these things, so they did not bid. The two of them ate desserts, drank tea, and occasionally chatted. They were quite relaxed and at ease. At this moment, another auction item was brought up. ¡°There¡¯s always a magical introduction to hundred-year-old ginsengs in medical books and legends,¡± the gorgeous beauty said. ¡°Thus, many people are tirelessly searching for the whereabouts of a hundred-year-old ginseng. However, real hundred-year-old ginsengs are rarely found. ¡°Today, we have a real hundred-year-old ginseng. The starting price is 400,000.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, an ancient ginseng was brought to the center of the lobby. A round-faced man with dark circles around his eyes, who was sitting in a private room on the third floor, chuckled and said, ¡°I¡¯ve been feeling a little weak recently. It¡¯s the right time to eat a hundred-year-old ginseng to replenish my energy. ¡°500,000!¡± the round-faced man raised his paddle and shouted. Almost at the same time the round-faced man finished speaking, Lin Fan also raised the bidding paddle in his hand and said, ¡°Five million!¡± He directly raised the price by ten times! Lin Fan was determined to get the hundred-year-old ginseng. He did not want to bid slowly. It was too troublesome. Originally, some people wanted to bid for the hundred-year-old ginseng, but after hearing this price, they all let go of their bidding paddles. Those who were qualified to participate in the auction of Xinyue Hotel were not fools. They had heard some legends about hundred-year-old ginsengs, but legends were just legends. The true medicinal effects of a hundred-year-old ginseng were actually very limited. It was barely acceptable to spend hundreds of thousands or even a million to buy a hundred-year-old ginseng. If one had to spend five million, it would not be worth it. Moreover, someone had directly called out a bid of five million. It was obvious that he was determined to get it. Once they competed with him, it would be easy for them to be hated by the other party. It was definitely not a wise thing to offend someone at Xinyue Hotel. Chapter 48 ? 48 Level 5; Do You Need My Help? All the bidders looked at Lin Fan and Liu Yuhang¡¯s private room curiously. Lin Fan was naturally calm. Liu Yuhang, on the other hand, was frozen. He knew that Lin Fan had been searching for 100-year-old ginseng all this while¡­ For this reason, he even specially came to the capital from Jiangbei. However, Liu Yuhang did not expect Lin Fan to bid ten times the original price, which was five million. After a while, Liu Yuhang gave him a thumbs-up and said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re awesome!¡± When Liu Yuhang gave him a thumbs-up, the round-faced man in the room opposite them looked over. The round-faced man¡¯s face darkened slightly as he grunted. ¡°It¡¯s Liu Yuhang! Damn! Do you want to play? I¡¯ll play with you until the end!¡± The round-faced man raised his bidding paddle again. ¡°5.2 million!¡± The round-faced man had had a grudge against Liu Yuhang for a long time. He had just called out 500,000 when the other party immediately called out five million. The other party was definitely targeting him. Liu Yuhang was surprised to hear someone else make a bid. The Liu family had been in the medical field for generations, and he had a certain understanding of various medicinal herbs. Generally speaking, a hundred-year-old ginseng was indeed precious, but its price was only worth around two million yuan. Five million was definitely a high price. Also, Lin Fan had directly bid five million. He was clearly determined to win. Under such circumstances, most people would probably choose to give up as they did not want to offend anyone. What was the situation now? Liu Yuhang looked at the bidder with confusion. The next moment, Liu Yuhang¡¯s face turned dark. ¡°Wan Lang!¡± Then, he turned to Lin Fan and said, ¡°Wan Lang and I have some conflicts. He¡¯s definitely trying to raise the price. A 100-year-old ginseng should be worth around two million. It¡¯s not worth it to continue bidding. ¡°Why don¡¯t we just give up? I¡¯ll get more people to pay attention, and I believe that we¡¯ll be able to find another hundred-year-old ginseng soon.¡± Lin Fan said casually, ¡°It¡¯s just money. It¡¯s okay. ¡°Ten million!¡± He raised his paddle again. Whoosh! The entire place was silent. Liu Yuhang was stunned again. Yes. He knew that Lin Fan¡¯s family was really strong. However, he did not expect Lin Fan to bid ten million! It felt like Lin Fan wasn¡¯t calling out ten million but 1,000 yuan. He did it so casually as if he did not care at all. In reality, Lin Fan did not really care much about money. Lin Fan also believed that with the Liu family¡¯s power, they would definitely be able to find another hundred-year-old ginseng. However, he did not want to wait any longer. Because every day he waited, his father, Lin Tao, would suffer another day. When Wan Lang, who was sitting in the opposite private room, heard Lin Fan¡¯s bid, his face darkened. The first time when he called out a price of 500,000, the other party directly increased the price by ten times to five million. Now, he was bidding for 5.2 million, but the other party was bidding for ten million! Provocation! This was a blatant provocation! Wan Lang squeezed his paddle, but he did not continue bidding. Even though his family was rich, Wan Lang¡¯s annual pocket money was only tens of millions. It was barely acceptable for him to take out a few million at once. It would be difficult to take out tens of millions. If he called out a high price of ten million and the other party did not continue to bid, what should he do? Wan Lang¡¯s cold eyes glared at Lin Fan as he shouted, ¡°Brat, you¡¯ve got guts!¡± ¡­ The bidding continued. The next few items were all antiques, calligraphy, and paintings. Lin Fan was not interested in them at all. Thus, he did not bid anymore. When the last item was sold at a high price of 48 million, the auction at Xinyue Hotel came to an end. Two tall and beautiful women carried an exquisitely-made wooden box and slowly walked into the private room. One of the beauties smiled and said, ¡± Hello, Sir. This is the hundred-year-old ginseng that you bid for. Please check it!¡± Liu Yuhang had seen a lot of precious herbs, but he was still interested. He walked up to them and said, ¡°Tsk tsk, so this is the hundred-year-old-ginseng that¡¯s worth ten million yuan?¡± Lin Fan picked up the hundred-year-old ginseng and turned his attention to the system. [Ding! Do you wish to collect the hundred-year-old ginseng?] Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw this. He understood that this was indeed a real hundred-year-old ginseng! ¡°Where do I pay?¡± Lin Fan asked. He could not wait to take the hundred-year-old ginseng. ¡°You can swipe your card here.¡± The other beauty said as she held the POS machine with both hands. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Lin Fan nodded and took out a bank card. Beep! With a soft sound, the ten million was successfully paid. At the same time, a notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! System upgrade: Level Five!] [Level 5 reward: 20 yuan for every breath, 20 yuan for every second of sleep, and 20 yuan for every step taken. Rewards are distributed at 12 a.m. daily.] [Upgrade cost: 3.02 million/50 million (not including gifts and gambling. In addition, all items obtained from the system are prohibited from being traded.] [Ding! Level 5, mission system activated.] The reward for level five was double that of level four! Which meant that Lin Fan could earn at least 1.4 million a day. Then, Lin Fan turned his attention to the mission system. Mission System: [When the host touches an item or encounters an event, a mission will be randomly triggered and a certain reward will be obtained.] The two beauties put down the hundred-year-old ginseng and put away the POS machine. They bowed slightly and said, ¡°I wish you a good time at Xinyue Hotel.¡± Then, they slowly walked out. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you seem to be very happy,¡± Liu Yuhang said. ¡°Of course, I¡¯m happy to have bought a hundred-year-old ginseng,¡± Lin Fan said. At this moment, a series of heavy footsteps came from the corridor. Then, the round-faced Wan Lang strode in with two men in plaid shirts. ¡°Wan Lang, what are you doing here?¡± Liu Yuhang asked, frowning. However, Wan Lang did not seem to hear Liu Yuhang¡¯s question. He stared coldly at Lin Fan and said, ¡°Brat, you¡¯re very arrogant!¡± Lin Fan thought for a moment and knew what he was referring to. He said calmly, ¡°If you don¡¯t have money, then don¡¯t attend the auction. Why are you talking so much nonsense?¡± ¡°You f*cking¡­¡± Wan Lang was instantly enraged. The two men in plaid shirts behind him took a step forward as though they were about to teach Lin Fan a lesson. ¡°It seems a little noisy here. Kid, do you need my help?¡± Zhou Guotao¡¯s low voice came from the corridor. ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter. Grandpa Zhou, there¡¯s no need to trouble you,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Okay, if there¡¯s anything, just let me know.¡± After Zhou Guotao finished speaking, he walked straight ahead. However, before he left, he glanced at Wan Lang. It was this glance that made Wan Lang tremble in fear, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. The pillar of the Zhou family, Old Master Zhou! He actually called the young man in front of him¡­ ¡®kid¡¯! Heavens! What kind of terrifying existence had he offended? Chapter 49 ? 49 Apology; The Zhou Family Feels as Though the Sky Is Falling The Wan family could be considered a powerful family in the entire capital. However, in front of the Zhou family, they were just slightly bigger ants. If the Zhou family¡¯s old master, Zhou Guotao, wanted to destroy the Wan family, all he had to do was say the word. He had just offended the person Zhou Guotao called ¡®kid¡¯? ¡®This¡­¡¯ The more Wan Lang thought about it, the more terrified he became. Finally, he bowed slightly and cupped his fists. ¡°Uh¡­ Brother Lin Fan, it was all a misunderstanding just now¡­ I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Wan Lang was a second-generation rich kid, and he cared about his reputation the most. Making him bow and apologize on his own initiative was definitely something very difficult to do. However, no matter how difficult it was, he had to do it. It was because Wan Lang knew that if he did not appease Lin Fan today¡­ Tomorrow, perhaps the entire Wan family would face a terrifying disaster. Lin Fan glanced at Wan Lang and said, ¡°As a person, one should always be calm and collected. An apology this time can solve the problem, but as for the next time¡­ that¡¯ll be hard to say.¡± ¡°Yes, ye ¡­ Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re right.¡± Wan Lang nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. Lin Fan said, ¡°Also, I didn¡¯t mean to provoke you. It¡¯s just that I¡¯m determined to get this 100-year ginseng and can¡¯t be bothered to compete with others.¡± If Lin Fan had said something like that earlier, Wan Lang would have definitely spat in his face. He was too lazy to keep bidding, so he directly increased the price by a few million. A few million? ¡®Do you think I¡¯m stupid?¡¯ However, Wan Lang did not dare to have such thoughts now. A person who was on good terms with the old master of the Zhou family would not even bother to lie. He had no choice but to bow even lower and nod in agreement. After Wan Lang left, Liu Yuhang burst out laughing. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, did you know? I¡¯ve never seen Wan Lang act so submissively before. He was just like fish on a chopping block! Cool! It¡¯s so cool!¡± Lin Fan chuckled and shook his head as he strolled outside. The two of them got into the Mercedes-Benz S500. Just as they drove past the entrance where the elevators were, they happened to see an old man lying on the ground with his hand on his chest. A shocked beautiful woman was beside him. Lin fan took a closer look. It was Zhou Guotao and his granddaughter. ¡°Stop the car!¡± Lin Fan shouted. Liu Yuhang slammed on the brakes. His expression changed as he followed Lin Fan. ¡°Hurry! Hurry and send my grandfather to the hospital!¡± the beauty shouted. Liu Yuhang and Lin Fan did not hesitate. They lifted Zhou Guotao up and quickly got into the car. They headed to the nearest hospital. On the way, the beautiful woman held Zhou Guotao¡¯s old hands tightly, her tears falling like rain. ¡°Grandpa, Grandpa¡­ You¡¯ll definitely be fine, you¡¯ll definitely be fine¡­¡± At this moment, she was like a frightened deer, no longer as calm and composed as before. ¡°Hurry up, hurry up!¡± Liu Yuhang wanted to drive faster, but there were too many cars in the capital, and the traffic was too heavy. ¡°I¡¯ll drive,¡± Lin Fan said. Liu Yuhang immediately thought of Lin Fan¡¯s superb driving skills and immediately switched seats with him. ¡°Is it okay to violate the rules?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Of course, there¡¯s no problem!¡± Liu Yuhang said. Boom! After Lin Fan got Liu Yuhang¡¯s confirmation, he stepped on the gas and sped through the narrow alleys and between cars. No matter what was in front of him, he continued to drive at top speed. In less than ten minutes, the Mercedes-Benz S500 came to a steady stop at the entrance of the hospital. The beautiful woman had already made several calls in the car. At that moment, a large group of doctors and nurses were already waiting at the entrance. When they saw the Mercedes-Benz S500, they swarmed over and carried Zhou Guotao out on a stretcher. They checked and treated Zhou Guotao as they walked quickly to the ward. Outside the VIP ward. The beauty¡¯s tears did not stop. On one hand, she was worried about her grandfather¡¯s health. On the other hand, she had gone out with her grandfather alone this time. What if her grandfather¡­ She really did not know what to do. Thud, thud, thud! At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps could be heard in the distance. A large group of luxuriously dressed men and women quickly walked over. Among them, Zhou Zhen, who was about 50 years old and had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, looked at the beautiful woman and said, ¡°Zishan, what¡¯s going on?¡± Zhou Zhen, the current head of the Zhou family, was also Zhou Zishan¡¯s father. Zhou Zishan wiped away the tears on her face and said honestly, ¡°After I went out with Grandpa today, we went straight to Xinyue Hotel¡¯s auction. As soon as we arrived at the parking lot, Grandpa suddenly fell ill¡­¡± At this point, Zhou Zishan¡¯s tears could not help but fall again. ¡°Xinyue Hotel?¡± someone asked. ¡°Did the old man eat anything?¡± Zhou Zishan replied, ¡°Grandpa had a cup of pu¡¯er tea and a piece of cake¡­ And¡­ he drank a cup of wine¡­¡± ¡°What? The old man¡¯s health isn¡¯t good, so why did you let him drink? Nonsense!¡± Zhou Zhen shouted. Beside her, Zhou Shihong, who looked similar to Zhou Zhen, looked at the Han Emperor Maotai that looked like a dragon-shaped imperial jade seal. He asked, ¡°Is this what he drank?¡± ¡°Yes, it is,¡± Zhou Zishan replied. ¡°Brother, you can¡¯t blame Zishan for this,¡± Zhou Shihong said. ¡°The old master drank Han Emperor Maotai. Even we might not have been able to stop him.¡± When Zhou Zhen heard this, his expression relaxed slightly. He knew very well how much the old man liked Han Emperor Maotai. ¡°Did you get this wine from Xinyue Hotel?¡± he asked. ¡°He gave it to Grandpa.¡± Zhou Zishan pointed at Lin Fan, who was not too far away. ¡°He¡¯s also the one who sent Grandpa to the hospital in time.¡± Everyone from the Zhou family looked at Lin Fan. Liu Yuhang¡¯s heart tightened, and he quickly explained, ¡°We were drinking in the private room at that time. Old Master Zhou smelled the wine and took the initiative to come in¡­ ¡°After that, we saw Elder Zhou lying on the ground in the parking lot, so we sent him to the hospital.¡± It was no wonder Liu Yuhang was so nervous. After all, the power of the Zhou family was too terrifying. If the Zhou family thought that they had intentionally tried to harm Zhou Guotao, that would be a very terrifying thing. Zhou Zishan, who was beside him, added, ¡°He¡¯s right¡­ Also, Grandpa has a very high opinion of Lin Fan.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Zhou Zhen, Zhou Shihong, and the others were all surprised. At the same time, they started to size Lin Fan up. They knew very well how high the old man¡¯s standards were. He had a very high evaluation of a young man? That was truly unbelievable. ¡°Thank you for sending the old man to the hospital,¡± Zhou Zhen said. Liu Yuhang heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°You¡¯re welcome. It¡¯s what we should do¡­¡± Creak! At this moment, the door to the VIP ward opened. A few doctors walked out with tired faces. ¡°How¡¯s my dad?¡± asked Zhou Zhen. The bald doctor who stood at the front opened his mouth, and his face was contorted. It would have been fine if it were an ordinary patient. However, the person lying inside was Old Master Zhou, Zhou Guotao! If he did not handle it well, not to mention him but even the entire hospital would not be able to bear the responsibility! ¡°Doctor, you can just be direct,¡± Zhou Zhen said after taking a deep breath. ¡°For the time being, we can only use equipment and medicine to keep the old man alive for a few hours,¡± the bald doctor said carefully. ¡°BOOM!¡± The Zhou family felt as though the sky was falling! Chapter 50 ? 50 I Can Save Him; Medical Water The Zhou family was completely developed by Zhou Guotao. There were countless complicated relationships, all of which were closely related to Zhou Guotao. If the entire Zhou family was compared to a towering building¡­ then Zhou Guotao was the foundation of the building. If there was a problem with the foundation, the entire building might collapse. It was definitely something that the Zhou family could not bear. Everyone¡¯s heart was heavy to the extreme. Zhou Zishan¡¯s face turned pale. She had gone out with her grandfather, but her grandfather¡­ Her tears fell like raindrops. The atmosphere in the corridor was extremely heavy. ¡°Doctor, is there no other way?¡± Zhou Zhen asked with great difficulty. The bald doctor was silent for a moment before he said, ¡°For the time being, there¡¯s no better way.¡± Zhou Zhen took another deep breath and said, ¡°Alright, I got it.¡± After he finished speaking, he prepared to walk toward the ward. He wanted to spend one last moment with Zhou Guotao. At this moment, Lin Fan, who had been standing at the back without saying anything, finally spoke, ¡°Perhaps I can save Grandpa Zhou.¡± As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Zhen suddenly stopped in his tracks. Everyone in the Zhou family turned their attention to Lin Fan. Liu Yuhang, who was standing beside Lin Fan, turned pale. The doctor had said that Zhou Guotao could not be treated. However, Lin Fan said he could possibly treat the old man. If Zhou Guotao could really be saved, it would definitely be a great thing. However, the question was, was it possible? Lin Fan was just someone of the same age as him! It was good enough that the Zhou family did not blame them for Zhou Guotao¡¯s illness. If there was a problem with the treatment, the consequences¡­ were too terrifying! Liu Yuhang thought for a while, and his forehead was covered in sweat. He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting Lin Fan to take back his words. However, being stared at by the Zhou family, he could not say a word. Zhou Zhen turned around and slowly walked in front of Lin Fan, asking, ¡°You can save the old man?¡± ¡°I can try. Of course, I¡¯m not completely confident,¡± Lin Fan said. He wanted to get the hundred-year-old ginseng so that he would have the right to purchase Medical Water. However, he was not sure if Medical Water could cure Zhou Guotao. He could only give it a try. The reason why Lin Fan decided to take action was that¡­ For one, it was because when they were drinking earlier, he felt that Zhou Guotao was a good person. Secondly, when the auction ended, Zhou Guotao had come out to ask Wan Lang to leave, which was a bit of help. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you,¡± Zhou Zhen said. ¡°You believe me?¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°I believe in the old man¡¯s judgment!¡± Zhou Zhen said. Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°When I¡¯m treating Grandpa Zhou, there can¡¯t be anyone else or any surveillance equipment in the ward.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Zhou Zhen nodded. Someone could not help but say, ¡°The old man only has a few hours left now. What if¡­ What if he can¡¯t even see us one last time?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll come out within an hour.¡± After he finished speaking, he strode toward the VIP ward. Click. After the door closed, the atmosphere in the corridor became heavy again. ¡­ Lin Fan looked at Zhou Guotao, who was lying on the bed with tubes all over his body. He was unconscious, and Lin Fan sighed. Then, Lin Fan took out the hundred-year-old ginseng from his pocket. [Ding! Do you wish to collect the hundred-year-old ginseng?] ¡°Yes!¡± In an instant, the ginseng in his hand disappeared. At the same time, the image of a ginseng appeared next to the Ganoderma in the Medical Water Illustration Card in his mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve obtained the right to purchase Medical Water.] [Medical Water: a magical medicine that can heal all wounds after consumption. Ten million yuan per bottle.] ¡°Purchase!¡± In the next moment, a 50ml clear solution appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s hand. ¡°I hope it¡¯s useful,¡± Lin Fan mumbled. After that, he slowly poured the contents into Zhou Guotao¡¯s mouth. Then, he observed Zhou Guotao¡¯s changes. Lin Fan was filled with curiosity and anxiety about the effects of Medical Water. That was because he was prepared to let his father take one too. One minute. Three minutes. Five minutes. ¡­ Originally, the electrocardiograph next to Zhou Guotao was only a weak up-and-down pulse. However, it soon became a big wave line. Soon after, a hint of red gradually appeared on his withered and sallow face. After about 30 minutes, Zhou Guotao, who had been unconscious, finally opened his eyes. He first looked around in a daze, then slowly sat up. ¡­ Outside the corridor. As time passed, more and more members of the Zhou family rushed to the hospital. They were all like ants on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in the corridor. Their faces were full of anxiety. In reality, they were not the only ones who were anxious. Even the usually calm Zhou Zhen was the same. At this moment, a white-haired old man came to the corridor with the help of two people. ¡°Hello, Second Great Uncle,¡± Zhou Zhen hurriedly greeted. ¡°How¡¯s your dad now? I heard that a young man went in to save him?¡± the old man asked. ¡°That¡¯s right, the old man has taken a liking to him.¡± Zhou Zhen nodded. The old man nodded, his turbid eyes fixed on the ward, full of worry. In the corridor, there was the sound of footsteps again. ¡°National Doctor Wan is here!¡± someone shouted. ¡°It¡¯s National Doctor Wan!¡± Everyone from the Zhou family was excited. National Doctor Wan, whose real name was Wan Qingyun, was one of the most famous miracle doctors in the country. ¡°Elder Wan, I¡¯ve troubled you to come all the way here,¡± Zhou Zhen walked forward and said. ¡°I¡¯ve been good friends with Old Master Zhou for many years,¡± Wan Qingyun said. ¡°How could I not come when he¡¯s seriously ill? Quickly take me to see the old master.¡± Zhou Zhen hesitated for a moment before he said, ¡°Earlier, there was a¡­ His friend went in to treat the old man, and he doesn¡¯t allow anyone to disturb him.¡± ¡°Friend?¡± Wan Qingyun was puzzled. ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not too familiar with him either, but the old master has taken a liking to him. He¡¯s been in there for more than half an hour. He said he¡¯ll be out in an hour,¡± Zhou Zhen said. ¡°Like this?¡± Wan Qingyun pondered for a moment and said, ¡°Let me see the latest results of Old Master Zhou¡¯s examination first.¡± A doctor quickly handed over a large stack of medical cases. In the next moment, Wan Qingyun¡¯s pupils shrank as he exclaimed, ¡°What? The old man¡¯s health has already reached such a state? No! I have to go in quickly!¡± Seeing Wan Qingyun¡¯s intense reaction, Zhou Zhen¡¯s heart tightened. He could no longer care about Lin Fan¡¯s request to not be disturbed and led Wan Qingyun toward the door of the ward. Even though Lin Fan did have an extraordinary aura, he was too young. Zhou Zhen did not dare to hand the old man over to him completely. It would be too late for regrets if he missed the best time for the old man¡¯s treatment. Creak! Creak! At this moment, the door of the ward suddenly opened. Chapter 51 ? 51 Complete Recovery; A 500 Million Dollar House Gift Lin Fan slowly walked out of the ward. The people from the Zhou family all looked at him. Everyone was extremely nervous. They did not expect Lin Fan to be able to cure Old Master Zhou. They were afraid of receiving news of Old Master Zhou¡¯s death. ¡°How¡¯s the old man?¡± asked Zhou Zhen. As he spoke, he pretended to lead Wan Qingyun into the ward. He did not want to waste any more time. ¡°Cough, cough!¡± At this moment, a light cough came from the ward. Then, an old face that everyone was extremely familiar with appeared in their vision. Everyone was stunned at first! What followed was endless surprise! The old master was fine! ¡°Dad, why did you get out of bed?¡± Zhou Zhen asked. How¡¯s your body?¡± As he spoke, he quickly stepped forward to help him up. ¡°I¡¯m fine now, thanks to this kid,¡± Zhou Guotao said, full of vitality. Although Zhou Zhen and the rest of the Zhou family had already guessed this outcome, they were still surprised when they heard it. Lin Fan, this young man who looked like he was in his 20s, had actually saved the old man! In contrast to the Zhou family¡¯s shock, Liu Yuhang was relieved. At that moment, he realized that his clothes were soaked in a cold sweat. He was afraid! He was really afraid! If anything were to happen to Old Master Zhou in Lin Fan¡¯s hands, the consequences would be way too terrifying. Everything was alright now¡­ ¡°Kid, thank you,¡± Zhou Zhen bowed and said in an extremely solemn manner. Lin Fan supported Zhou Zhen and said, ¡°Uncle Zhou, you¡¯re too polite. It¡¯s just a small matter. Moreover, Old Master Zhou had helped me before.¡± Zhou Guotao laughed and said, ¡°What kind of help was that? Lin Fan, you didn¡¯t just save my life, you saved the entire Zhou family. You deserve his respect.¡± Then, he turned to Wan Qingyun beside him and said, ¡°Old friend, sorry to trouble you to rush over from another place.¡± Wan Qingyun waved his hand. ¡°There¡¯s no need to talk about trouble between us. Let me help you check your body again.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Zhou Guotao nodded. Wan Qingyun first put his hand on Zhou Guotao¡¯s wrist. A moment later, Wan Qingyun retracted his finger, and a look of confusion appeared on his face. ¡°Elder Wan, how¡¯s my dad¡¯s condition?¡± asked Zhou Zhen. ¡°Let¡¯s go for a blood test and a CT scan first,¡± Wan Qingyun said after some thought. ¡°Alright,¡± Zhou Zhen said. The old man got his blood drawn and underwent a CT scan by the people from the hospital. In just a few minutes, all the results were in Wan Qingyun¡¯s hands. After flipping through them for a while, Wan Qingyun said with certainty, ¡°Old friend, your body has completely recovered.¡± ¡°Good, haha!¡± Zhou Guotao was overjoyed. The entire Zhou family was jubilant! ¡­ The Zhou family. The dining table in the hall was filled with sumptuous dishes. After Zhou Guotao¡¯s invitation, Lin Fan sat at the main seat while Zhou Guotao and Zhou Zhen sat on his two sides. Zhou Guotao said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the wine I accidentally smelled today would save my life. Wine is indeed a good thing! ¡°Lin Fan, come and try this wine.¡± As Zhou Guotao spoke, he personally poured Lin Fan a glass of wine. Lin Fan first sniffed it, then slowly poured it into his mouth. ¡°It¡¯s smooth in the mouth, and it¡¯s like a fire in the stomach, leaving an endless aftertaste! It¡¯s a top-grade maotai,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°That¡¯s right, haha!¡± Zhou Guotao said happily. Zhou Zhen raised his glass and said, ¡°Lin Fan, thank you again for saving my dad.¡± Following that, Zhou Zishan, Zhou Shihong, and the rest also gave Lin Fan a toast. Lin Fan did not reject anything and ate to his heart¡¯s content. After eating and drinking, Lin Fan looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window and praised, ¡°It¡¯s hard to imagine that there¡¯s such a beautiful house on Second Ring Road in Jingbei where every inch of land is worth an inch of gold.¡± ¡°Oh? Lin Fan, do you like this kind of house? Our Zhou family has a house that¡¯s about the same size on Second Ring Road. I¡¯ll give it to you,¡± Zhou Zhen said. Lin Fan was stunned for a moment. He had never expected Zhou Zhen to say such words. One had to know¡­ that the Zhou family¡¯s house was more like a manor than a house. It took up more than 5,000 square meters. The price of a house on Second Ring Road was at least 100,000 yuan per square meter. In other words, the price of a similar house would probably exceed 500 million! They wanted to give it to him directly? ¡°That¡¯s too expensive,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Besides, I¡¯m based in Jiangbei. I don¡¯t come to Jingbei often.¡± ¡°Kid, you¡¯re too kind. It¡¯s just a house. What is it compared to my life?¡± Zhou Guotao said. ¡°Although you won¡¯t be coming to Jingbei often for the time being, I believe that you¡¯ll definitely come here often in the future. It¡¯ll be more convenient with that house.¡± Lin Fan thought about it. If he continued to reject it, it would make him seem a little pretentious. ¡°Then I won¡¯t be polite,¡± he replied. Originally, Zhou Guotao wanted Lin Fan to stay at the Zhou family¡¯s residence for a while longer. However, Lin Fan said that he still had things to deal with and had already bought a plane ticket back to Jiangbei. Therefore, he directly rejected Zhou Guotao¡¯s good intentions. As for Zhou Zhen, he personally drove the Rolls-Royce and sent Lin Fan to the airport. Sitting in the VIP lounge, Liu Yuhang could no longer hide his excitement. He jumped up and down in excitement. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re too awesome! ¡°You¡¯re actually skilled in medicine and you even saved Old Master Zhou! ¡°Oh my God, that¡¯s Old Master Zhou! ¡°Do you know that when you said you were going to save Old Master Zhou, I almost peed my pants!¡± ¡°Brother Lin Fan, quickly tell me, what else do you know? No! Is there anything you can¡¯t do?¡± Liu Yuhang said. Lin Fan looked at Liu Yuhang¡¯s excited expression and shook his head with a smile. Liu Yuhang went back to rambling, and he shouted excitedly, ¡°Hehe, I actually had a meal with Old Master Zhou and the others today. If my dad knows about this, he¡¯ll probably be so envious that he¡¯ll start drooling!¡± He was not exaggerating. It was because even Liu Yuhang¡¯s father had no right to have dinner with Zhou Guotao. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, thank you!¡± Liu Yuhang said. Thank you? He did have to say thank you. It was because Liu Yuhang had managed to establish a connection with the Zhou family through today¡¯s incident. This would be a great benefit to Liu Yuhang and even the entire Liu family. Lin Fan understood what Liu Yuhang meant. He waved his hand and said, ¡°You¡¯re too polite.¡± ¡­ The Zhou family. Zhou Guotao stood in front of the window, looking at the flowing water in the distance. His face was full of relaxation and enjoyment. At this moment, Zhou Zhen slowly walked in with a stack of documents. ¡°Father, this is some information regarding Lin Fan,¡± Zhou Zhen said. Zhou Guotao flipped through it. The next moment, a look of realization appeared on his old face. ¡°So, he¡¯s the captain of Dragon Division¡¯s Team 10¡­ No wonder he¡¯s so mystical.¡± After a moment of silence, Zhou Guotao said, ¡°From now on, do your best to build the best relationship with Lin Fan!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Zhou Zhen said. Chapter 52 ? 52 Open 1,002 Red Packets On the plane back to Jiangbei, Liu Yuhang was still talking excitedly. By the time the plane landed, Liu Yuhang¡¯s voice had become hoarse. Lin Fan could not help but laugh. This was the first time he had seen someone so happy over something. It was only 7:30 at night. It was only an hour¡¯s drive from Jiangbei to Qing City. Therefore, Lin Fan did not go back to his dormitory to rest. After returning to Jiangbei University, he got into the car. However, Lin Fan did not start the G-Class immediately. Instead, he took out his phone and looked at the red packets that were flashing on the screen. ¡°1,002 red packets. Let¡¯s see what I can get,¡± Lin Fan said. 1,002 red packets. This was Lin Fan¡¯s income from having spent ten million on the hundred-year-old ginseng and 20,000 for a meal. Obviously, he would not be able to get back the ten million he spent to purchase Medical Water from the system through this batch of red packets. However, Lin Fan was not too bothered by it. ¡°Receive all!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 100 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, the chance of triggering a flash of inspiration has increased.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received two yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve gained Professor-Level Physics Experience.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received Heavenly Boice.] ¡­ Out of the 1,002 red packets, Lin Fan received a total of two million yuan. At that moment, Lin Fan had a total of 73 million yuan. [Absolute Focus: a stronger focus and the ability to easily solve difficult questions. There¡¯s a 10% chance of triggering a flash of inspiration. A focused and serious man is the most handsome!] The probability of triggering a flash of inspiration had increased from 5% to 10%. After triggering a flash of inspiration a few times, Lin Fan was very clear about how rare it was. [Professor-Level Physics Experience: use excellent physics knowledge to solve difficult problems and display a special charm.] He had Professor-Level Mathematics Experience. Now, he had Professor-Level Physics Experience too? Was he going to be an invincible top student? [Heavenly Voice: your heavenly voice can make more people fascinated by you.] He could sing well now. That was not bad. Lin Fan nodded silently. Then, he put down his phone, stepped on the accelerator, and sped forward. At night, there were more cars on the road in Jiangbei than during the day. It was originally an hour¡¯s drive, but Lin Fan only returned home at around nine o¡¯clock. At that moment, Lin Tao and Dai Weixue were watching TV in the living room. After they saw Lin Fan, they were shocked, ¡°Lil¡¯ Fan, why didn¡¯t you tell us you were coming back?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just coming back home. What¡¯s there to talk about?¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Lil¡¯ Fan, have you had dinner? I¡¯ll go cook some dumplings for you,¡± Dai Weixue said. Lin Fan said, ¡°Mom, it¡¯s okay. I¡¯ve already eaten. I¡¯m full.¡± ¡°Then drink some water first.¡± Dai Weixue poured a cup of hot water. Even though it was just a simple cup of hot water, Lin Fan felt some warmth in his heart when he drank it. They were his parents, and this was his home. He¡­ He must protect them well! Lin Tao asked, ¡°Lil¡¯ Fan, why did you suddenly come back today? Is there something wrong?¡± ¡°Dad, didn¡¯t you have surgery last time? I was worried that it won¡¯t be easy for your body to recover, so I got you some medicine to speed up your recovery,¡± Lin Fan said. As he spoke, he directly spent ten million to buy a bottle of Medical Water from the system. Then, he pretended to take it out of his pocket and handed it to Lin Tao. ¡°I¡¯ve already recovered. Why would I need medicine?¡± Lin Tao asked. ¡°This must be very expensive, right? You¡¯re wasting money!¡± He was smart. Even though the bottle looked small, since Lin Fan had rushed back for this, it must be very valuable. ¡°What¡¯s so expensive about it?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°It¡¯s just a small bottle of medicine. ¡°And I¡¯ve already bought it. Dad, you should drink it.¡± Just as Lin Fan said, he had already bought it. What else could Lin Tao do? Lin Tao did not hesitate and poured the medicine into his mouth. Gulp. Lin Tao smacked his lips and said, ¡°There doesn¡¯t seem to be any taste to it.¡± Lin Fan saw that his father had drunk the medicine and his entire body relaxed. He had seen this medicine work with his own eyes, so he knew how magical it was. ¡°Cough, cough!¡± At this moment, Dai Weixue could not help but cough. ¡°Mom, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I caught a cold these past two days. I¡¯ll be fine after taking some medicine,¡± Dai Weixue said. Lin Fan spent another ten million to buy another bottle of Medical Water from the system. All these years, his mother had worked hard for the family. She had gotten lots of illnesses. This bottle of Medical Water should be able to improve the situation. ¡°Mom, you should drink a bottle too,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Isn¡¯t this for your dad?¡± Dai Weixue asked, puzzled. ¡°Why should I drink it?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Actually, this isn¡¯t really medicine¡­ It can be considered a tonic to strengthen one¡¯s constitution. When your constitution is good, your injuries and illnesses will naturally heal faster.¡± ¡°Is that so? Then I¡¯ll have one too,¡± Dai Weixue said. Lin Fan saw that his parents had both drunk the Medical Water, and his mood became much better. He chatted with his parents for a while, then took a shower and went to bed. At night, a gust of cold wind blew and the branches outside swayed left and right. Then, heavy rain fell. ¡°What¡¯s with the weather?¡± Dai Weixue asked. ¡°It¡¯s raining again. Hubby, does your stomach hurt? I¡¯ll help you prepare a hot water bag.¡± Ever since the surgery, whenever there was a storm, Lin Tao would toss and turn in discomfort, unable to fall asleep. Lin Tao, who was about to fall asleep, asked doubtfully, ¡°Is it raining? Why don¡¯t I feel any pain?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt? You¡¯re not lying to me, are you?¡± Dai Weixue said. ¡°It really doesn¡¯t hurt. Huh? What¡¯s going on?¡± Lin Tao exclaimed in surprise. ¡°What now?¡± Dai Weixue was confused. ¡°The scar from the surgery on my stomach is gone!¡± Lin Tao shouted. ¡°Gone? Let me touch it. ¡± Dai Weixue was shocked. ¡°I don¡¯t feel anything! I¡¯ll turn on the lights and see.¡± Soon, the two of them were dumbfounded with their mouths half open. It had disappeared! It really disappeared! He had the surgery a while ago, and a long incision was made on his stomach. How long had it been? It had completely healed and disappeared so soon? This was impossible! After a while, Dai Weixue seemed to have sensed something and said, ¡°My eyes¡­ I don¡¯t seem to have presbyopia anymore!¡± ¡°It must be that bottle of medicine that Lil¡¯ Fan just gave us!¡± Lin Tao said. ¡°A bottle of medicine cured your surgical wound and my presbyopia? What kind of medicine is it? Isn¡¯t it too magical?¡± Dai Weixue said. ¡°Let¡¯s go and ask Lil¡¯ Fan!¡± Lin Tao said. ¡°He just fell asleep. It won¡¯t be too late to ask him tomorrow.¡± Dai Weixue pulled him back. ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Tao nodded and chuckled. ¡°Actually, the medicine not only cured my surgical wound, but it also helped me get erect again.¡± When Dai Weixue heard this, she could not help but give him a sidelong glance and chided him jokingly, ¡°Old hooligan!¡± It was nighttime¡­ and the bed groaned the entire time. Chapter 53 ? 53 You Have to Come; So It¡¯s You It had rained the night before, and the tree branches outside had become green. It was a very beautiful sight. Lin Fan opened the window, and a light breeze blew in. He felt really refreshed. Scallion pancakes and delicious-smelling noodles were already placed in the living room. When Dai Weixue saw Lin Fan, she said, ¡°Lil¡¯ Fan, go wash up. The noodles are going to get cold.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied. The sound of running water was heard, then Lin Fan walked out of the washroom a moment later. He directly stuffed a big portion of noodles into his mouth, his face full of satisfaction. At this time, Lin Tao finally could not help but ask, ¡°Lil¡¯ Fan, what kind of medicine did you give us yesterday?¡± ¡°Your mother and I seem to have recovered from our injuries¡­ And, it feels like¡­ we¡¯ve become ten years younger.¡± When Dai Weixue heard this, her old face revealed a rare blush. Then, she secretly looked at Lin Fan with a curious gaze. ¡°Uhh¡­¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°It¡¯s a newly developed supplement, and it¡¯s still very rare.¡± Lin Tao and Dai Weixue nodded thoughtfully and did not pursue the matter further. After breakfast, Dai Weixue originally wanted to go buy some groceries. However, Lin Fan told her to rest at home while he walked toward the market. At this time, the market was very lively and full of people. Lin Fan bought quite a lot of meat, vegetables, and fish. He carried bags of various sizes and was about to head back. At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of him. ¡°Are you¡­ Wang Xiaodong?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Lin Fan?¡± The young man opposite him said in surprise. ¡°Hahaha! It really is you! I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here,¡± Lin Fan said happily. Wang Xiaodong was Lin Fan¡¯s deskmate in junior high. The two of them had a good relationship. It was a pity that neither one of them had a cell phone number, QQ, or WeChat back then. Therefore, they had never been able to contact each other. ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m surprised too.¡± Wang Xiaodong laughed. The woman of medium build standing next to him asked, ¡°Xiaodong, who is this?¡± ¡°Oh, he¡¯s Lin Fan, my deskmate in junior high¡­ At that time, our relationship was especially good,¡± Wang Xiaodong introduced to the woman. ¡°Lin Fan, this is my wife, Gong Siqin.¡± ¡°Oh, so you¡¯re Xiaodong¡¯s good friend?¡± Gong Siqin asked, suddenly enlightened. ¡°It¡¯s a pleasure to meet you!¡± After a pause, she added, ¡°By the way, Xiaodong and I are having our wedding next Sunday. You must come and attend it.¡± Wang Xiaodong¡¯s face turned pale. His relationship with Lin Fan was indeed really good. However, they had not contacted each other for so many years. Now, the moment they met, his wife was asking him to attend their wedding and present gifts. It made it seem as though Wang Xiaodong was greedy for Lin Fan¡¯s ¡®gift money¡¯. He did not like this feeling. Lin Fan also noticed the change in Wang Xiaodong¡¯s expression. He thought about it for a while and roughly guessed the reason. Lin Fan did not really care about the money. However, he was not sure if he would be free next Sunday. He did not know if the National Mathematical Modeling Competition would be held next week. ¡°If I¡¯m free next Sunday, I¡¯ll come over,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright, then it¡¯s a deal! By the way, Xiaodong, do you have his contact information?¡± Wang Xiaodong did not want to, but he had no choice but to give Lin Fan his contact information under these circumstances. This would make things even worse. After exchanging contact information, Lin Fan returned home. At that moment, Lin Xiaoyao was sitting on the sofa and playing with her phone. When she saw Lin Fan, she pounced on him excitedly and shouted, ¡°Brother, why didn¡¯t you tell me you were coming back? If I had known, I would have come back directly after my evening self-study session!¡± Qing City No. 1 Middle School was very strict with the students¡¯ studies. Apart from weekends, they had to study at night every day. The evening self-study session lasted until 10 o¡¯clock in the evening. Therefore, most students chose to stay in the dormitory from Monday to Saturday and only go home on the weekends. Lin Xiaoyao was one of the students. Lin Fan pinched Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s face and said, ¡°You¡¯ve lost weight again. Lil¡¯ Yao, you really have to eat more. It¡¯s too painful to see you like this now.¡± ¡°Brother! This is called an oval-shaped face!¡± Lin Xiaoyao protested. In the afternoon, the whole family cooked together while chatting and laughing. It was extremely heartwarming. When Lin Fan placed the freshly stir-fried green pepper shredded pork on the table in the living room, the time was exactly 12:00 PM. The phone in his pocket vibrated slightly. The red packets had appeared! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received two yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 2000 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,000 yuan.] Today, he had received a total of 30,507 yuan. About this¡­ Lin Fan did not pay it any attention and put his phone back into his pocket. Soon, a large table of delicious food was prepared. The family sat around the table and ate happily. Lin Fan wanted to stay at home for a while longer. However, Lin Tao and Dai Weixue were worried that it would be unsafe to drive too late at night, so they asked Lin Fan to head to Jiangbei early. ¡­ Jiangbei University. When Lin Fan walked into Room 104, Ma Zhong was packing his books. Zheng Jinbao said happily, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you came back just in time. I asked my cousin out for a meal today. I¡¯m preparing to go over with Ma Zhong and Song Yi.¡± ¡°Then it seems¡­ I really did return early. I should¡¯ve returned at the right timing instead.¡± Lin Fan smiled. Song Yi said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, Jinbao¡¯s cousin is an internet celebrity!¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Lin Fan was a little surprised. After all, Zheng Jinbao was full of fat. His cousin was probably not any better, right? If that were the case¡­ could his cousin really become an internet celebrity? Zheng Jinbao seemed to understand Lin Fan¡¯s thoughts and said, ¡°Don¡¯t think that because I¡¯m fat my cousin would be too. My cousin has a great figure. Let¡¯s go. You¡¯ll know soon!¡± After he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked outside. Originally, Zheng Jinbao, Song Yi, and Ma Zhong were prepared to take a taxi over. Now that they had Lin Fan, however, they naturally did not have to go through so much trouble. Lin Fan immediately drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and headed to the location that Zheng Jinbao had told him about. This was a Hunan cuisine restaurant with a relatively large storefront. Zheng Jinbao rolled down the car window and looked at the young woman in a pink t-shirt who was playing with her mobile phone as she walked. He called out, ¡°Lisi, Zheng Lisi!¡± The woman turned around when she heard that. In the next moment, her face, which was caked with a lot of foundation, revealed a look of surprise that was difficult to hide. She jogged over and said, ¡°Heavens! A G-Class! Cousin, why did you come here in a Mercedes-Benz G-Class?¡± Zheng Jinbao got out of the car and said proudly, ¡°This is my roommate, Lin Fan¡¯s, car.¡± At that moment, Lin Fan also got out of the car. Zheng Lisi¡¯s face showed a hint of doubt. The next moment, her eyes widened as she shouted, ¡°So it¡¯s you!¡± Chapter 54 ? 54 Live Broadcast; Shocking Appearance of the God of Tycoons! Zheng Jinbao, Song Yi, and Ma Zhong all looked at Lin Fan in confusion. They were obviously asking, ¡°Do you know her?¡± Meanwhile, Lin Fan looked at Zheng Lisi in confusion and asked, ¡°Uhh¡­ Do you know me?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to forget so quickly! We met at the entrance of Qingfeng restaurant a while ago. You were driving a Lamborghini at that time!¡± Zheng Lisi shouted excitedly. Lin Fan looked at her thick foundation and quickly thought of the internet celebrity girl who had stood in front of his car that day. ¡°Were you¡­ the woman standing in front of my car?¡± Lin Fan said with uncertainty. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me!¡± Zheng Lisi was very happy that Lin Fan remembered her. Zheng Jinbao, who was standing at the side, asked, ¡°How did you guys meet? I¡¯m so confused.¡± Ma Zhong and Song Yi were also curious. ¡°I saw a cool Lamborghini the other day,¡± Zheng Lisi explained. ¡°So, I went up to take photos and do a live broadcast.¡± ¡°In the end, I only managed to take a few photos before he came. ¡°He¡¯s handsome and drives a luxury car, so I wanted his WeChat account. But he didn¡¯t say anything and drove away.¡± Zheng Lisi¡¯s face was full of resentment. ¡°I just didn¡¯t hear you clearly,¡± Lin Fan said, a little embarrassed. Zheng Lisi asked again, ¡°By the way, weren¡¯t you driving a Lamborghini last time? How did it become a G-Class?¡± Without waiting for Lin Fan to reply, Song Yi said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan said that his waist would be ruined, so in three minutes, he bought a G-Class! Tsk, tsk, even I can¡¯t buy clothes that fast.¡± ¡°Buying a G-Class in three minutes?!¡± Zheng Lisi¡¯s mouth was wide open, and her face was full of shock. Although she did not know much about cars, she knew that a Mercedes-Benz G-Class would cost at least millions of yuan. Three minutes to spend millions? Was he that generous with his money? Zheng Jinbao said, ¡°Alright, alright. Why are you standing outside? Let¡¯s go in. We¡¯ll talk while we eat.¡± As he spoke, he took the lead and walked inside. Hunan cuisine was on the spicy side, which was very suitable for young people seeking excitement. The few of them ate and chatted happily. The meal only ended at eight in the evening. Lin Fan and the rest came back to the G-Class. Zheng Lisi said, ¡°Wait, don¡¯t get into the car first. I¡¯m going to start a live broadcast!¡± Zheng Lisi usually live-streamed at night because the traffic was the highest at this time. Now that she had a chance to get into a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, she naturally did not want to miss it. Zheng Lisi first opened the fanny pack at her waist and took out a mirror, lipstick, foundation, and so on. She quickly touched up her makeup. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to bring so many things with you,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Of course. We¡¯re all people making a living,¡± Zheng Lisi said proudly. Then, she logged into her live stream account and held her phone up with her selfie stick. Zheng Lisi¡¯s facial features were not bad to begin with. Now, with a filter, she looked even more youthful and beautiful. Not long after the live stream started, there were already comments. The Real Me: [Why is Lil¡¯ Lisi streaming so late today? I¡¯ve been waiting for a long time.] Madness: [My saber is getting impatient!] Spring Water Ding Dong: [Lil¡¯ Lisi seems to have moved to another location to stream today? Is she outdoors? In a car¡­? Wait?!] Little White: [There¡¯s a Mercedes-Benz G-Class next to Lil¡¯ Lisi? Has some big tycoon wooed her?] ¡­ ¡°Welcome to my live broadcast room, everyone,¡± Zheng Lisi said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to have kept you waiting. ¡°I¡¯m late today because I was having dinner with my cousin, who¡¯s in college, and his classmates.¡± As she spoke, Zheng Lisi slowly moved the camera to Zheng Jinbao. ¡°This is my cousin,¡± Zheng Lisi introduced. ¡°Hello.¡± Zheng Jinbao faced the camera and greeted. This was his first time on a live broadcast, so he could not help but feel excited and nervous. The live broadcast room was once again filled with comments. Madness: [Lil¡¯ Lisi¡¯s cousin is so fat. He¡¯s so different from Lil¡¯ Lisi.] Liushui Renjia: [At first, I was a little worried that my sister would be ugly in the future, but now, I¡¯m a little relieved. ] ¡­ Zheng Jinbao looked at these comments, and he was perplexed. What did these words mean? Was he ugly? Zheng Lisi slowly moved the camera toward Ma Zhong and Song Yi. ¡°They¡¯re my cousin¡¯s classmates,¡± she introduced. ¡°Hello,¡± Ma Zhong and Song Yi both greeted the camera. When Zheng Lisi was about to shift the camera to Lin Fan, Lin Fan said in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t make me show my face.¡± Zheng Lisi pressed her wrist down slightly and only recorded Lin Fan¡¯s lower body. ¡°He¡¯s my cousin¡¯s classmate too. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class next to me is his car!¡± This time, there were obviously more comments in the live broadcast room. People From Small Cities: [Oh my God, Lil¡¯ Lisi¡¯s classmate is too rich! He drives a G-Class in school?] Poor Boy: [He¡¯s a scumbag driving a G-Class. Lil¡¯ Lisi, don¡¯t let him win.] Sage: [If he bought a G-Class, it means that he¡¯s lacking something big!] Song Moumou said: [Lil¡¯ Lisi, let me see what this rich guy looks like.] ¡­ Zheng Lisi looked at the messages on the screen. Sometimes she replied with a few words, and sometimes she chatted with them. She was extremely relaxed. ¡°I still have some Sharkstream coins in my account, ¡± Song Yi said. ¡°I¡¯ll boost Lisi¡¯s popularity.¡± As he spoke, Song Yi took out his phone and entered Lil¡¯ Lisi¡¯s live broadcast room. Zheng Jinbao and Ma Zhong also took out their mobile phones. They either sent some small gifts or scrolled through the screen. They did their best to help increase Zheng Lisi¡¯s popularity. Lin Fan looked at the three of them. Then, he took out his phone and entered Lil¡¯ Lisi¡¯s live broadcast room as well. Thus, a dazzling golden notification appeared in Lil¡¯ Lisi¡¯s live broadcast room. [Welcome to the live stream room.] Whoosh! As soon as the news came out, the entire live broadcast room immediately boiled over. Hypocritical Gentleness: [An emperor has come to the live broadcast room!] Kind-Hearted Like Fire: [And it¡¯s that God of Tycoons!] Incomplete Memories: [Work Slayer is above the masses! Brothers, quickly welcome him] Prodigal Son, Young Master Yu: [!!!] Cold-Blooded Dark Night: [!!!] ¡­ Instantly, the entire screen of the live stream room was filled with countless exclamations. Originally, there were only a hundred or so people in the live broadcast room, but the number of online viewers immediately increased exponentially. A Few Glasses of Wine: [F*ck, he¡¯s really targeting workers!] Handsome Guy in the Wind: [I¡¯m spectating the fight with Work Slayer.] Take a Look: [I¡¯m an onlooker.] ¡­ In just a short minute, the number of people in Lil¡¯ Lisi¡¯s live broadcast room had reached thousands! One person¡¯s name was like a large tree that overlooked all. This was despite Work Slayer not sending any news or giving any rewards! As long as he appeared, he would be the focus of attention! He¡­ He was the God of Workers! Chapter 55 ? 55 You¡¯re Actually the God of Tycoons, Work Slayer? I¡¯m Kneeling Down to Brother Lin Fan Zheng Lisi was completely dumbfounded as she looked at the rapidly moving comments in the live broadcast room and the constantly rising numbers. Her live stream had never been so popular before. This¡­ It was only the beginning! Zheng Jinbao, who was standing next to her, reminded her, ¡°Lisi, what are you doing? Aren¡¯t you going to welcome the God of Tycoons?¡± He had personally witnessed the God of Tycoons and how heroic he was. As long as one could please this God of Tycoons, why would one have to worry about not getting any rewards? As someone in the live broadcast industry, Zheng Lisi knew better than Zheng Jinbao how much power Work Slayer had. A few days ago, the super tycoon gave away 3,000 rockets in just ten minutes. It could be said to have completely stirred up the entire live-streaming industry. It also made the originally unknown Xiang Xiang become one of the most popular streamers on Sharkstream. These days, Zheng Lisi often dreamed of that tycoon entering her live broadcast room. Now, it actually came true! She felt that it was very unreal! That was why Zheng Lisi was so excited that she was in a daze. At this time, after she heard Zheng Jinbao¡¯s reminder, she finally reacted and said in a slightly trembling voice, ¡°W-Welcome to my live stream, Work Slayer!¡± Lin Fan looked at the excited Zheng Lisi and could not help but laugh. After a while, he clicked on the screen. Whoosh! Whoosh! One rocket. Ten. 30. 50 rockets. ¡­ A dense array of rockets flew across the screen. The rain of rockets baptized the entire live broadcast room! Countless comments flooded the live-stream room. Extremely Handsome: [It¡¯s starting, it¡¯s starting again! After a few days, Work Slayer has become inhumanely rich again!] The Prince Frog: [Spectacular!] Finding a Beauty on a Motorcycle: [Work Slayer is awesome!] Most of the comments were exclamations. ¡­ When the rain of rockets appeared, the popularity of Zheng Lisi¡¯s live stream soared again. The number of online viewers exceeded tens of thousands, going into hundreds of thousands¡­ At this moment, someone discovered several popular live streamers and rushed over. Moonlit Branches: [It¡¯s Xiang Xiang! Xiang Xiang is here!] Wintermelon: [Xiao Ai is here!] Everyone¡¯s Attention: [Momo! Momo is here too!] ¡­ Momo: [God of Tycoons, I¡¯ve learned a few good songs recently. When will you come to my live broadcast room? I¡¯ll sing them for you.] Xiao Ai: [I¡¯ve also learned a few good songs. You can come listen to them anytime.] Xiang Xiang: [God of Tycoons! Long time no see!] A Few Balls in Life: [Ahhh! Momo, Xiao Ai, and Xiang Xiang appeared in the same live stream room at the same time! They¡¯re all my favorite streamers! This is too awesome!] Eunuch: [I can¡¯t believe this is happening in my lifetime!] I have New Year¡¯s Money: [They¡¯re all here for Work Slayer. The God of Tycoons is awesome!] ¡­ There were a lot of comments, but there were also a lot of rockets. Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and Zheng Lisi were all staring at their phone screens without blinking. They could not help but sigh. 400 rockets! 410 rockets! 420 rockets! ¡­ Shocking, this was too shocking! Ma Zhong looked at the screen, and the rockets that kept flying. He started to feel dizzy. He shook his neck and saw Lin Fan tapping on the screen. On the screen, the words ¡®successfully gifted one rocket¡¯ were constantly displayed. In the next moment, Ma Zhong finally saw Lin Fan¡¯s ID clearly¡­ Work Slayer. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re the God of Tycoons?¡± he asked in surprise. As soon as he said that, Zheng Jinbao, Song Yi, and Zheng Lisi all raised their heads and focused their eyes on Lin Fan and his phone. Very quickly, their pupils shrank as they cried out in surprise. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re actually the God of Tycoons!¡± ¡°F*ck! Brother Lin Fan, what¡¯s the situation?¡± Lin Fan touched his nose and smiled, ¡°I¡¯ve always been Work Slayer.¡± Silence! The entire venue suddenly fell silent! Zheng Jinbao and Song Yi could not help but recall the first appearance of Work Slayer. It seemed to be when they were watching Xiang Xiang¡¯s live broadcast in the dormitory. So that was how it is¡­ So that was how it was! They were quiet, but the live broadcast room was even more heated. Countless comments were gushing out like a rapid river. Ice Shrimp: [What did I just hear? Work Slayer is actually next to Lil¡¯ Lisi now?] Mo Wu: [Lil¡¯ Lisi, quickly let us see the God of Tycoons!] Legend of the Night Shift: [Live stream your meeting with the God of Tycoons!] ¡­ At this time, Zheng Lisi was not even looking at the comments in the live broadcast room. Her mouth was half-open, and she was completely stunned. The God of Tycoons that she had been thinking about was actually her cousin¡¯s classmate? Now, he had appeared directly beside her? Zheng Lisi suddenly remembered that Song Yi had just said that Lin Fan had only spent three minutes buying a Mercedes-Benz G-Class. At that time, Zheng Lisi thought it was a little exaggerated. Looking at it now, it was not an exaggeration at all. That was because he was the God of Tycoons! Zheng Jinbao looked at Lin Fan as if he had seen his idol and said excitedly, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, why didn¡¯t you tell us that you¡¯re the God of Tycoons.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a big matter, right?¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°And you guys didn¡¯t ask.¡± This was nothing? He was the God of Tycoons who had caused a sensation on the entire Sharkstream! At this time, Zheng Lisi finally reacted and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to give me so many gifts. It¡¯s such a waste.¡± If she did not know the God of Tycoons, it would not have mattered¡­ She would have felt that the more gifts the better. However, Lin Fan was her cousin¡¯s classmate. That made her feel a little guilty. Lin Fan laughed. ¡°A while ago, I accidentally topped up one billion Sharkstream coins. It doesn¡¯t matter who I give them to. It¡¯s fine.¡± He accidentally topped up one billion Sharkstream coins? Was that okay? Zheng Jinbao, Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Lisi all had their mouths wide open, not knowing what to say. The comments in the live stream room were like a river that had burst through the dam, surging wildly. Brother Zhi: [F*ck, he accidentally topped up one billion Sharkstream coins?!] Procrastinate: [I wish to be as careless as this too, but my capabilities don¡¯t allow it!] I¡¯m Zha Zhahui: [As expected of the God of Tycoons. He¡¯s simply not human!] Memories are Always Sad: [Mom asked me why I¡¯m kneeling while I¡¯m on my phone.] Chengdong: [Lil¡¯ Lisi, quickly let us see the God of Tycoons!] In the comments section, there were still more exclamations. ¡­ At this time, Zheng Lisi also remembered that she was still live-streaming, so she quickly aimed at the camera and said, ¡°I still have something on today, so I¡¯ll end the live broadcast here. Thank you for your support, everyone. Goodbye!¡± After that, Zheng Lisi ignored the hundreds of thousands of people who were online and closed the live broadcast room. However, even though she had turned off the live broadcast, the comments still continued to roll in. God of Space: [Why did you turn off the live stream?] The Dream of Billions of Girls: [Where¡¯s the God of Tycoons?] Dumbfounded: [Lil¡¯ Lisi, quickly let us see the God of Tycoons!] ¡­ ¡°Why are you all looking at me like that?¡± Lin Fan asked. The next moment, Zheng Jinbao, Song Yi, and Ma Zhong said in unison, ¡°I¡¯m going to kneel in front of Brother Lin Fan!¡± After they finished speaking, they even looked like they were going to kneel on one knee. Lin Fan could not help but laugh. Chapter 56 ? 56 Surprise; Because He¡¯s Worth It! It was another clear and bright day. Monday¡¯s schedule was very full. Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Jinbao went to class early in the morning. Meanwhile, Lin Fan sent a request for leave to counselor Sun Yaodong. Then, he took a plane to Modu City. That was because today was his girlfriend Qin Yuxuan¡¯s birthday. Lin Fan wanted to give her a surprise. ¡­. Modu University, Department of Finance¡¯s research room. A female professor in her 40s pointed at the complicated diagrams and cases on the projector and explained in detail. Qin Yuxuan was calculating and thinking very carefully. She was very serious. When she encountered a problem that she did not understand, Qin Yuxuan would either ask her classmates or raise her hand¡­ Qin Yuxuan was not particularly talented in learning, but she was very hardworking and motivated. It was also because of this that she was able to get into a famous university and was now guaranteed a postgraduate degree. Qin Yuxuan was one of the best students here. When studying, time would always pass quickly. In the blink of an eye, the sky gradually darkened. Qin Yuxuan held her books and dragged her tired body back to her dormitory. She sat on her bed and fell into a daze. Her roommate, Huang Moli, asked, ¡°Yuxuan, isn¡¯t it your birthday today? Why are you still sitting there? Isn¡¯t your boyfriend here yet?¡± When Zhang Jing heard this, she immediately perked up. She put down her phone and said, ¡°When is he coming over? I¡¯d like to see if he¡¯s as perfect as you say!¡± The last time Lin Fan had come to Modu, Zhang Jing was forced to work overtime at the laboratory by her teacher. Therefore, she had never seen Lin Fan before. During this period of time, the person that her roommates talked about the most was Qin Yuxuan¡¯s boyfriend, Lin Fan. In their words, Lin Fan was like a god. Zhang Jing had long wanted to meet him. Now, she finally had a chance. Of course, she was happy. ¡°Lin Fan is participating in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition. Recently, his school has been forcing him to undergo training, so he won¡¯t be able to come to Modu today.¡± Zhang Jing, Huang Moli, and Wan Yuerou could immediately tell that she was unhappy. No wonder¡­ After all, this was Qin Yuxuan¡¯s first birthday as Lin Fan¡¯s girlfriend, but Lin Fan was absent. ¡°National Mathematical Modeling Competition? That¡¯s one of the largest-scale competitions in the mathematics department! He¡¯s already rich and handsome, and now, he¡¯s a top student! Oh my God, isn¡¯t he too perfect? I admire him!¡± Zhang Jing said. The three of them did not want Qin Yuxuan to be too unhappy, so they started to liven up the atmosphere. Wan Yuerou looked at her phone and said, ¡°No wonder there¡¯s training. The competition is going to be in a few days.¡± ¡°The school organized the training program independently. If they win the award, that¡¯ll be great!¡± ¡°If you ask me, it¡¯d be better if Yuxuan¡¯s boyfriend didn¡¯t come,¡± Huang Moli said. ¡°It¡¯s only this year that the four of us can celebrate our birthdays together. In the future, after we do our internships, graduate, get married, and have children, where will we get the chance?¡± ¡°We should cherish the time we have left.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Zhang Jing agreed. ¡°Let¡¯s go celebrate. How about hotpot?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, let¡¯s eat hotpot!¡± Huang Moli nodded repeatedly. Wan Yuerou said, ¡°Speaking of hotpot, I can already smell it! I can¡¯t take it anymore. I¡¯m drooling.¡± After saying that, she even swallowed her saliva. How could Qin Yuxuan not know that the three of them were deliberately trying to enlighten her? However, she was still amused by them. She laughed and said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go and eat hotpot!¡± The four of them left immediately. After packing up a little, they headed outside. Just as they arrived downstairs, a young man wearing black-rimmed glasses jogged over from a distance. Then, he handed a bouquet of roses to Qin Yuxuan and said, ¡°Yuxuan, happy birthday!¡± Qin Yuxuan was extremely beautiful. She could be said to be the campus belle of the entire Modu University. She had experienced similar things many times. Therefore, Qin Yuxuan was not too surprised. She said calmly, ¡°Thank you for your blessing. But I already have a boyfriend, so I won¡¯t accept your flowers.¡± Qin Yuxuan then walked past the young man. The group of four continued to move forward. They went through a shady path, walked past the rippling lake, and arrived at a wide sports field. They would be able to leave the school gate soon and go outside to eat hotpot. At this time, a loud noise suddenly appeared in the air. Then, a gust of wind blew over for no reason. The trees swayed and their clothes rustled. Under everyone¡¯s confused gaze, bright red rose petals slowly fell from the sky like raindrops. The entire field was raining roses! At the same time, a dazzling light suddenly fell on Qin Yuxuan. Then, a helicopter appeared in the sky above the field. The next moment, a piano as white as snow and Lin Fan in a white suit slowly landed in front of Qin Yuxuan. Lin Fan¡¯s long and slender hands were placed on the piano, and they started to jump quickly on the black and white keys. The song ¡®The Wedding in a Dream¡¯ resounded throughout the entire field. Everyone¡¯s hearts started to shake along with the music. At that moment, time seemed to have stopped. On the field, everyone¡¯s eyes were on Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan. In the eyes of the crowd, Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan were like a celestial couple standing above the clouds with birds forming a bridge and stars surrounding them! The sight was resplendent and gorgeous, making people look up and exclaim! In Qin Yuxuan¡¯s eyes, the whole world seemed to have turned dark! Only Lin Fan was like the sun, giving off a scorching glow! She listened to the melodious music and was completely lost and intoxicated! Her vision was hazy! She was touched and filled with happiness! Ding! Ding! When the last note of the tune ended, Lin Fan started playing ¡®Happy Birthday¡¯. Then, Lin Fan stood up slowly. He held 99 beautiful red roses in his hands and said affectionately, ¡°Yuxuan, happy birthday!¡± Thud! Qin Yuxuan could no longer hold back her tears, and they rolled down her face like pearls. Then, she pounced into Lin Fan¡¯s arms and pressed her fiery lips against his. o(?e?*) (*?3)(e?*) (*?3)(e?*) ¡­ Clap, clap, clap! Instantly, the entire field was filled with a round of enthusiastic applause. Qin Yuxuan was a famous beauty at Modu University, a goddess in the hearts of countless people. In fact, there were many people who admired her at the scene. However, at this moment, none of them felt any jealousy toward Lin Fan. There were only blessings and praises! It was because he was worthy! Chapter 57 ? 57 Return; Silver-Red Packets After a long time, their lips separated. Lin Fan held Qin Yuxuan¡¯s waist with one hand and pulled the rope ladder of the helicopter with the other. They flew into the sky. Qin Yuxuan looked at the beautiful field that was almost covered with roses from the sky. She was about to melt into Lin Fan¡¯s arms. Her lips once again landed on Lin Fan¡¯s face. Under the envious gazes of countless people, they flew into the sky. Zhang Jin raised her head and said in a daze, ¡°I finally understand why all of you have been calling Lin Fan a god-like boyfriend! I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s really an immortal!¡± ¡°If I had such a boyfriend, I¡¯d be willing to cut ten years off my life,¡± Wan Yuerou said. Huang Moli looked at the helicopter that had completely disappeared from her sight. Then, she looked around and said, ¡°So many roses. How much did it cost him?¡± ¡°Each square meter is about one rose. Each rose is five yuan, and our school¡¯s sports field is about 20,000 square meters,¡± Wan Yuerou said. ¡°five yuan, 20,000¡­ He used 100,000 yuan just like that?¡± Huang Moli¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°In addition, there¡¯s also the helicopter, manpower, and so on. That scene just now cost at least 200,000 yuan,¡± Wan Yuerou said. Hiss! Huang Moli sucked in a breath of cold air and was stunned once again. ¡­ Naturally, Lin Fan had no way of knowing the reactions of Huang Moli and the others. At that moment, he and Qin Yuxuan had arrived at the only three-star Michelin restaurant in Modu. In the past, this three-star Michelin restaurant had always been extremely popular and deserted. Today, there was only one table in the spacious hall. On the table, a dim yellow light was lit, and many delicious dishes were served. That was because Lin Fan had booked the entire three-star Michelin restaurant. Lin Fan slowly poured the 1982 Lafite into the glass. Then, he touched Qin Yuxuan¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Happy birthday, Yuxuan.¡± Then, he handed over the keys to a Mini Cooper. ¡°I think this car suits you. I hope you like it,¡± Lin Fan said. This was the truth. To the current Lin Fan, even if he had to give away a sports car that was worth millions, he would definitely not feel the pinch. However, ever since he had sat in Teacher Tiantian¡¯s Mini Cooper, Lin Fan felt that Qin Yuxuan would be very suitable to drive this car. That was why he chose this birthday present. ¡°I like it. I really like Mini Coopers. Lin Fan, thank you, thank you!¡± Qin Yuxuan said happily as tears rolled down her face again. ¡°Silly, why are you crying?¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°I¡¯m not crying. I¡¯m just too happy and blissful,¡± Qin Yuxuan said. At this moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! A hidden mission has been completed: host a perfect birthday party and receive five silver-red packets.] Lin Fan¡¯s face could not help but reveal a strange look. After purchasing the hundred-year-old ginseng, the system reached Level 5. At Level 5, in addition to the daily income from breathing, walking, and sleeping, which was double the rate of Level 4, the mission system was also activated. However, Lin Fan had not been able to trigger any missions in the past two days. Today, he completed a hidden mission while holding a birthday party for Qin Yuxuan. Five silver-red packets? What did that mean? At this moment, a waiter carried a very beautiful cake and slowly walked over. ¡°Yuxuan, make a wish,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Qin Yuxuan put her hands together and made a wish. That night, in the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel. Two Oriole birds chirped, and a row of egrets soared into the sky. o(?e?*) (*?3)(e?*) ? (¡¥?¡¥?) ¡­ That night, in the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel, there was no sleep! ¡­ The next day. A ray of dazzling sunlight shone through the window and landed on the bedside. Qin Yuxuan slowly opened her beautiful eyes. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Lin Fan smiled. Qin Yuxuan let out a soft ¡®mhm¡¯ through her nose. Then, she struggled a few times, but she could not get out of bed. Last night was too intense, and her weak body could not bear it. ¡°I¡¯ll help you up,¡± Lin Fan said. Last time, Qin Yuxuan was extremely shy. This time, she did not reject him. Ding dong! At this moment, the doorbell rang. ¡°It¡¯s probably the service staff. You must be hungry, right?¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Let¡¯s wash up first.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Qin Yuxuan was like an obedient little rabbit, nodding her head lightly. Hilton¡¯s breakfast was sumptuous. Australian lobster cheese pasta, bird¡¯s nest porridge, milk, crab roe soup dumplings, sweet potatoes, colorful fruit plates, and so on. All of them were exquisite. Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan ate to their hearts¡¯ content. They leaned lazily against each other, looking extremely happy. Ring, ring! Suddenly, Qin Yuxuan¡¯s phone rang. ¡°But Professor¡­ Alright then.¡± Qin Yuxuan answered and hung up the phone. ¡°The professor asked you to do a project?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Yes,¡± Qin Yuxuan said, lowering her head. ¡°It¡¯s okay, you can go there directly. I have to go back to Jiangbei later to attend the National Mathematical modeling Competition training,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Then I¡¯ll send you to the airport,¡± Qin Yuxuan said. ¡°Alright,¡± Lin fan said. Then, the two of them walked to the airport hand in hand. As a major international city, Modu¡¯s airport was always bustling with people. Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan spent some time outside before heading to the VIP lounge. The VIP lounge was empty and quiet. Lin Fan poured himself a glass of red wine, then sat on the leather sofa and took out his phone. [You¡¯ve received 100 red packets. Do you want to collect all of them!] 100 red packets! In other words, the birthday party cost a total of one million yuan. However, Lin Fan did not care about it at all. He just clicked to receive the red packets. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,000 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a 10x Return card.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,999 yuan.] ¡­ Out of the 100 red packets, Lin Fan received a total of 220,310 yuan and a 10x Return card. Lin Fan shook his head helplessly and thought to himself, ¡®Why are they all so useless?¡¯ Useless? 220,000 yuan plus a 10x Return card that could bring in who knew how much money was useless? Then, Lin Fan turned his attention to the silver-red packets. [Do you want to activate the five silver-red packets?] Lin Fan was filled with curiosity about the silver-red packets that he received from completing a hidden mission. Without any hesitation, he chose to activate them. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 200,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 300,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve gained Professional Guitar-Playing experience. Play a good guitar song to add more charm.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 100,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 700,000 yuan.] Lin Fan received a total of 1.3 million yuan and Professional Guitar-Playing Experience from the five silver-red packets. Lin Fan had a guess in his heart. In the past, the amount of money he received from opening the red packets was less than 100,000 yuan each. On the other hand, all of the silver-red packets were worth more than 100,000 yuan. Furthermore, he had received a skill from just five silver-red packets. According to this calculation, the value of a silver-red packet was probably one grade higher than a normal red packet, and it was easier to get good things from it. Hidden missions¡­ It seemed that it was necessary to complete them. Chapter 58 - 58 Envy; Continuously Increasing Favorability 58 Envy; Continuously Increasing Favorability Just as Lin Fan was deep in thought, an air stewardess slowly walked to his side and said with an extremely sweet voice, ¡°Sir, you can board the flight you¡¯re on now.¡± When Lin Fan heard the voice, his heart skipped a beat. He could not help but turn around. With this turn¡­ he almost crashed into the flight attendant¡¯s perfect body. In fact, Lin Fan could even feel a slight heat and a faint fragrance from her body. Lin Fan¡¯s heart could not help but beat faster as he quickly moved back. At this moment, he realized that the air stewardess in front of him was about 168cm tall. Her facial features were very delicate and exquisite. Her eyes were clear, and her skin was as white as snow. Beautiful! A top-grade beauty! Lin Fan could not help but use his Eyes of Truth to observe her. [Face Value: 96] [Favorability: 70] Lin Fan was not surprised by the 96 points. However, a favorable impression of 70? What was going on? He had almost touched her just now, but why did she have such a highly favorable impression of him? After a while, Lin Fan came back to his senses and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was a little distracted and didn¡¯t hear what you said.¡± ¡°You¡¯re in first class, so you can board half an hour earlier. You can board now.¡± The beautiful air stewardess¡¯ voice was very sweet from the beginning to the end. She did not show any displeasure at repeating herself. ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied. Then, under the guidance of the beautiful air stewardess, Lin Fan strolled across the VIP passage. Even during Lin Fan¡¯s flight, the beautiful air stewardess was always by his side, asking about his well-being from time to time. She was in the best state to provide the most perfect service. That feeling was as if she was Lin Fan¡¯s private flight attendant. ¡­ While Lin Fan was on the plane, Qin Yuxuan arrived at Modu University on her white Mini Cooper. Then, she strolled back to the dormitory with the certificate of conformity, the contract, and other documents. Huang Moli, Zhang Jing, and Wan Yuerou immediately swarmed over. Among them, Zhang Jing was the most excited. She hugged Qin Yuxuan¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Yuxuan, just how do I find a god-like boyfriend like Lin Fan?¡± ¡°Yuxuan, I¡¯m so envious of you for having such a god-like boyfriend!¡± Wan Yuerou said. Huang Moli asked, ¡°Yuxuan, did he give you any gifts yesterday? By the way, what¡¯s that you¡¯re holding?¡± Qin Yuxuan looked at the three people¡¯s eager and envious expressions, and her heart was filled with happiness again. ¡°You girls don¡¯t have to be jealous of me. When the time comes, you¡¯ll find suitable partners too,¡± she said happily. Then, Qin Yuxuan showed the documents and keys in her hands. She said, ¡°This is Lin Fan¡¯s birthday present to me.¡± ¡°Oh my God, it¡¯s a car!¡± Huang Moli cried out in surprise. ¡°What? A Mini Cooper? Let me see, let me see!¡± Zhang Jing was excited. ¡°Wow!¡± Wan Yuerou added, ¡°And it¡¯s the top-tier Mini Cooper!¡± ¡°What? Let me see, let me see!¡± Zhang Jing was excited. ¡°Wow! It¡¯s my favorite white color! Isn¡¯t this design way too beautiful?¡± It was obvious that Wan Yuerou had done some research on cars. As for Zhang Jing¡­ she was only interested in the car¡¯s color and its good looks. Huang Moli could not help but ask, ¡°How much does the top-end Mini Cooper cost?¡± ¡°Including the specs, it¡¯s estimated to be about 400,000 yuan,¡± Wan Yuerou said. ¡°What?¡± Huang Moli cried out in surprise. ¡°My God! With the helicopter and roses, wouldn¡¯t this birthday cost 600,000 to 700,000 yuan?¡± ¡°Yuxuan, where did he take you to eat?¡± Huang Moli asked again. ¡°A three-star Michelin restaurant,¡± Qin Yuxuan said. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t that cost a few thousand more?¡± Huang Moli praised. Qin Yuxuan opened her mouth and hesitated for a moment, but she still said honestly, ¡°He booked the entire restaurant.¡± Silence! The entire dormitory was silent! Huang Moli, Zhang Jing, and Wan Yuerou¡¯s mouths were wide open as they stared at Qin Yuxuan. There was only envy on their faces. ¡°God, he¡¯s definitely a god-like boyfriend!¡± Zhang Jing mumbled. ¡­ At that moment, Lin Fan had successfully arrived in Jiangbei City under the meticulous care of the beautiful flight attendant. After getting off the plane, Lin Fan went straight to the parking lot. Soon, he arrived at the Lamborghini and sat in it. His phone vibrated slightly. It was 12 PM. The red packets appeared. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 5000 Yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 2000 Yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] Lin Fan received a total of 30,304 yuan from today¡¯s red packets. He casually put his phone down and was about to start the Lamborghini. At this moment, the beautiful air stewardess¡¯ figure appeared beside him. Her perfect figure leaned against the window as she said sweetly, ¡°We meet again. I live a few kilometers away. Can you please give me a ride?¡± Lin Fan hesitated for a moment before nodding. ¡°Sure.¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± the beautiful air stewardess said. Then, she sat in the passenger¡¯s seat happily. Lin Fan did not start the car immediately. Instead, he said, ¡°Actually, I have a girlfriend.¡± This beautiful air stewardess had been taking special care of him from the VIP lounge to the plane. Now, she even took the initiative to ask him to send her home. Lin Fan was not a fool. How could he not see through her thoughts? The beautiful air stewardess¡¯ face was as usual, and she even smiled. ¡°I know.¡± She knew? However, she still¡­ Lin Fan was stunned. Then, he used his Eyes of Truth to observe the beautiful flight attendant again. [Face Value: 96] [Favorability: 80] Lin Fan was stunned once more. The beautiful air stewardess knew that he had a girlfriend, but her impression of him had increased rapidly? At this moment¡­ Not far away, a well-proportioned air stewardess kissed a middle-aged man with a big belly. Then, the two of them got into a black Mercedes. Seeing this¡­ ¡°A lot of people are envious of flight attendants like us. All we do every day is fly around and have fun.¡± The beautiful air stewardess sighed. ¡°However, what they don¡¯t know is that we work very hard every day, but we only earn 10,000 yuan. ¡°Due to the nature of our work, we often meet people who have quite a lot of assets. ¡°Under the temptation of money and benefits, many people have gradually fallen.¡± The beautiful air stewardess lowered her head and said, ¡°Actually, I¡¯m not afraid of you laughing at me, but there was once a boss in his 50s who offered me 50,000 yuan a month and asked me to work for him for two years. ¡°At that time, I was almost tempted.¡± Then, the beautiful air stewardess looked at Lin Fan with a nervous look and asked, ¡°Do you really look down on people like me?¡± Lin Fan shook his head. ¡°The reason why most people work so hard is just to have a better life. ¡°But it¡¯s rare to see someone as honest as you.¡± Chapter 59 - 59 Conquer the Stomach; Buy a House! 59 Conquer the Stomach; Buy a House! As Lin Fan drove, he chatted with the beautiful air stewardess. The atmosphere was very relaxed. During this time, the two of them introduced themselves to each other. Lin Fan knew that the beautiful air stewardess was called Qiu Ziqian. Just as Qiu Ziqian had said, she lived a few kilometers away. Ten minutes later, Lin Fan arrived at a slightly old neighborhood. The environment of the neighborhood was not good, but Qiu Ziqian¡¯s place was clean and tidy, giving off the warm feeling of home. ¡°This is the apartment unit I¡¯m sharing with another flight attendant,¡± Qiu Ziqian explained. ¡°She flew overseas today and should be back in a few days.¡± Just then, she saw the red wine on the table and asked, ¡°Do you want to drink some wine?¡± Lin Fan nodded his head indifferently. With a soft sound, a stream of red wine flowed into the wine glass. Lin Fan picked up the wine glass and gently swirled it. Then, he put it to his nose and sniffed it. Finally, he poured it into his mouth. His movements were gentle and elegant. He was like a noble prince, looking extremely charming. The Drinking Gentleman had infinite charm! Originally, Qiu Ziqian had wanted to use the wine to boost her courage. However, at this moment, she had completely fallen for him. [Ding! Charming aura triggered.] Qiu Ziqian finally could not control her emotions and threw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s arms. The sun was high up in the sky, the birds spread their wings, and the grass rustled. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was dusk. Qiu Ziqian wiped the tears of happiness from the corner of her eyes and climbed out of bed with some difficulty. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Don¡¯t you need to rest for a while?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Qiu Ziqian said softly. ¡°You must be hungry. I¡¯ll let you taste my cooking.¡± ¡°You can cook?¡± Lin Fan was shocked. It should be known that young people nowadays, especially girls, almost never went into the kitchen. As for beautiful girls like Qiu Ziqian, they generally did not know how to cook. ¡°A meal outside can¡¯t compare to a meal at home,¡± Qiu Ziqian said. ¡°In addition, to conquer a man¡¯s heart, you should first conquer his stomach. Of course, I have to practice it well.¡± When Lin Fan heard that, he could not help but smile. A wave of smoke and oil rose. In just half an hour, a number of sumptuous dishes were served to Lin Fan. ¡°It tastes really good!¡± Lin Fan praised. After Qiu Ziqian heard this, she was also very happy. ¡°If you like it, eat more.¡± ¡°Alright, then I won¡¯t stand on ceremony,¡± Lin Fan said. Lin Fan ate two full bowls of rice and finished all five dishes. His face was full of satisfaction. Boom! Boom! Boom! At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the community. Lin Fan walked out of the window and looked at the excavator in the distance. He frowned. ¡°The roads have been under construction recently, so it¡¯s a little noisy,¡± Qiu Ziqian replied. ¡°The environment here is too bad. Let me help you move to another place,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°You¡¯re not thinking of letting me stay at your place, are you?¡± Qiu Ziqian laughed. ¡°I¡¯m studying at Jiangbei University. I¡¯m staying in a dormitory now¡­¡± Lin Fan said. Qiu Ziqian¡¯s face was filled with surprise. She had never expected that the top tycoon, who was dressed in branded clothes, wore a Vacheron Constantin Tour de L¡¯Ile, and drove a Lamborghini, would be a student. ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean I¡¯m ripping you off?¡± Qiu Ziqian asked, puzzled. Lin Fan smiled and touched his nose, feeling helpless. Then, Lin Fan took out his phone and dialed Manager Han Tian¡¯s number. ¡­ In the meeting room of Lianjia. Han Tian sat in the head seat, took out a stack of documents, and explained the company¡¯s policies and market situation in detail. The staff all listened very carefully and took notes from time to time. Ring, ring, ring! At this moment, Han Tian¡¯s phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, her expression trembled for a moment, which was a rare sight. Han Tian almost reflexively answered the phone. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin,¡± Han Tian said softly. ¡°Hello, Manager Han. I¡¯m calling to ask if you have any recommendations for a house with a better environment,¡± Lin Fan said directly. Han Tian only thought for a moment before saying, ¡°If you don¡¯t have specific areas in mind, I recommend Yi Ke City and Qiaohu City. ¡°These two residential areas have the best greenery and property management in Jiangbei. ¡°They¡¯re both in excellent locations. Within a ten-kilometer radius, there are parks, large businesses, hospitals, and everything you can think of. Transportation is also very convenient. ¡°In addition, Yi Ke city and Qiaohu city both have large flats that are more than 150 square meters. It¡¯s very comfortable to live in.¡± If it was an ordinary person asking, Han Tian naturally would not recommend Yi Ke City or Qiaohu City, let alone a unit that was 150 square meters. One had to know¡­ that the environment and location of Yi Ke City and Qiaohu City were indeed impeccable. However, the price was also very high. It was just that Lin Fan was different. He owned an entire building in Washington Palace, so he naturally would not care about the price. Obviously, it was just as Han Tian had expected. Lin Fan nodded his head calmly and said, ¡°Do you have any houses for sale in these two districts?¡± ¡°Yes, I do,¡± Han Tian said with certainty. ¡°You should be busy, right? Why don¡¯t you send someone over to show me the house?¡± Lin Fan said. Han Tian was the sales manager, but it was most suitable for her to show the house. However, Lin Fan did not want to waste other people¡¯s time. Han Tian replied, ¡°No, no. I¡¯m not busy. I¡¯ve been idle for half a day. We¡¯ll meet in Yi Ke City later. What do you think?¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan said. Han Tian hung up the phone and got up. ¡°You guys can summarize it first.¡± After he finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the meeting room. Only the employees were left in the meeting room, dumbfounded. ¡®Manager Han, didn¡¯t you just say that this meeting is very important? Is it really fine for you to put down all your work now? ¡®As for concluding and summarizing on our own? ¡®We don¡¯t even know what a policy document is. How are we supposed to summarize it?¡¯ ¡­ Han Tian had no idea what the employees were thinking. After she left the store, she drove a red BMW 530i and headed straight to Yi Ke City. When Han Tian arrived at her destination, Lin Fan had not yet arrived. She took the opportunity to take out her makeup mirror, lipstick, and foundation to touch up her makeup in the car. When the sound of an engine came from a distance, Han Tian noticed a cool Lamborghini driving over. Hence, she quickly got out of the car. After the Lamborghini stopped, Lin Fan opened the car door and said, ¡°Manager Han, did you wait for a long time?¡± Han Tian shook her head and smiled. ¡°No, I just got here.¡± The next moment, Han Tian¡¯s entire body froze. A beautiful woman walked out of the Lamborghini¡¯s passenger seat. Furthermore, this beauty even walked up and held Lin Fan¡¯s arm in an extremely intimate manner. Chapter 60 - 60 Swipe Card; Her BFF is Surprised 60 Swipe Card; Her BFF is Surprised Lin Fan looked at the grand entrance of Yi Ke City and nodded his head slightly. He had a good first impression of it. ¡°Manager Han, can you bring us in to take a look?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Oh¡­ Oh, okay!¡± Han Tian said. One had to admit that Yi Ke City was indeed one of the best residential areas in Jiangbei. When the security guard saw them from afar, he took the initiative to walk over and asked in a very humble tone. Then, someone stood next to Lin Fan¡¯s Lamborghini. Obviously, it was to prevent people from touching it. Yi Ke City implemented a strict human-vehicle separation system, so no car could be seen in the community. After Lin Fan and the others walked into Yi Ke City, they looked around. There was not a single piece of trash. The ground was extremely clean. There was¡­ There were only trees, grass, and fresh flowers that emitted a fragrant scent. This was a very good environment. Not long after, Lin Fan and the rest arrived at the house on the 25th floor. It was a 178-square-meter flat with a modern and luxurious interior. Standing in front of the tall floor-to-ceiling window, not only could one have a panoramic view of the community¡¯s beautiful scenery, but one could also feel the afterglow of the evening¡­ It was extremely pleasant. ¡°Do you like this house?¡± Lin Fan asked. Qiu Ziqian nodded lightly. In fact, when she walked into the house, her beautiful eyes immediately lit up. In her eyes, this was not a house at all but a castle¡ªa castle that belonged to her dream. Lin Fan said, ¡°That¡¯s good. I¡¯ll take this, then.¡± After saying that, Lin Fan took out his bank card. Even though Han Tian had already experienced Lin Fan¡¯s straightforward personality, she could not help but be stunned at this moment. It was a 178-square-meter house, and he had only taken a casual look around. He was going to pay for it directly? This¡­ Was he not too forthright? After a long time, Han Tian took the bank card in a daze and said, ¡°This house is 178 square meters, and the unit price is 46,000 yuan per square meter. Mr. Lin, are you prepared to pay in full or¡­¡± ¡°The full amount,¡± Lin Fan said directly. Han Tian was not too surprised by this result. She took out the contract from her bag and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, you can take a look at the sales contract first before signing it.¡± Obviously, when Han Tian left Lianjia, she was fully prepared. ¡°Ziqian, come and sign it,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Huh? Me?¡± Qiu Ziqian could not help but be stunned. Qiu Ziqian knew that Lin Fan owned a Lamborghini and a Vacheron Constantin Tour de L¡¯Ile. He was definitely a super tycoon. She thought that when Lin Fan said that he was going to move her to a new house, he meant that he would rent one for her. She was surprised enough that he was buying a new house. Qiu Ziqian never thought that Lin Fan would just give her the house! She heard it very clearly just now. The house was 178 square meters in total, with each square meter costing 46,000 yuan. In other words, this was a house worth more than eight million yuan. He was giving it to her¡­ just like that? Even though Qiu Ziqian had been a flight attendant for two years and had seen a lot of things, she was extremely shocked at this moment. ¡°Yes, this house is for you.¡± Lin Fan nodded. Qiu Ziqian looked at Lin Fan quietly. He did not seem to be joking or hesitating at all. She took a deep breath and said seriously, ¡°Thank you.¡± She picked up the pen and signed her name on the contract. Han Tian, who was at the side, looked at the contract, and her face was full of envy. She muttered in her heart, ¡°When will I be able to meet someone who treats me so well?¡± After that, Han Tian picked up Lin Fan¡¯s bank card and swiped it on the card reader that she had prepared. Beep! At the same time, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve spent 8.188 million yuan. Would you like to use the 10x Return Card?] ¡®Yes!¡¯ Lin Fan thought to himself. [You¡¯ve successfully used the 10x Return Card and received 81.88 million yuan.] Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. [Merchant Bank would like to remind you to deposit 8,188,000 yuan.] At this point, Lin Fan¡¯s funds had reached 156 million yuan. His assets had exceeded 100 million for the first time! Even though Lin Fan could earn 1.4 million yuan a day by breathing, walking, and sleeping, now that he suddenly received so much money, he could not help but smile. [Ding! You¡¯ve completed a hidden mission and earned over a hundred million yuan. You¡¯ve received five silver-red packets.] When Lin Fan heard this, the joy on his face grew. He had completed a hidden mission before, so he knew how hard it was to get a silver-red packet. Han Tian explained a few more things about the procedures and passed the keys to Lin Fan. She left after that. Lin Fan passed the keys to Qiu Ziqian and smiled, ¡°Ziqian, from now on, you¡¯re the owner of this house.¡± Qiu Ziqian looked at the keys in front of her, her delicate body trembling. Her wish was to own a house of her own in Jiangbei. Now, it had come true! Moreover, she had such a perfect house! ¡°I never thought that I¡¯d get such a good house. Thank you, darling.¡± After Qiu Ziqian finished speaking, she immediately hugged Lin Fan and kissed him with her sexy lips. After a long time, the two of them slowly separated. Lin Fan looked at the time. ¡°I won¡¯t be accompanying you today. I need to go back to school tonight.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Qiu Ziqian responded. ¡°Are you staying here today, or are you going back to your rented place?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°I still have to pack up, so I¡¯ll go back for today,¡± Qiu Ziqian said. ¡°Then I¡¯ll drop you off,¡± Lin Fan said. The two of them walked out hand in hand. Lin Fan dropped Qiu Ziqian off at the entrance of the community and headed toward Jiangbei University. Just as Qiu Ziqian turned around, a sweet-looking woman who was also wearing an air stewardess uniform appeared before her. ¡°Huang Ling, weren¡¯t you supposed to fly overseas today?¡± Qiu Ziqian asked in surprise. ¡°Why did you come back so early?¡± Obviously, this air stewardess was Qiu Ziqian¡¯s roommate. ¡°The weather is too bad, so the flight was canceled,¡± Huang Ling said. After a pause, she continued, ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this for now. Did you just get out of a Lamborghini? Ziqian, don¡¯t tell me you¡­¡± Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling had a very good relationship. Otherwise, they would not have rented a place together. They would talk about some private topics together. Huang Ling knew that Qiu Ziqian had never been against certain things. ¡°Yes.¡± Qiu Ziqian nodded. ¡°How much does he pay you every month?¡± Huang Ling asked with a sigh. ¡°He didn¡¯t give me any money,¡± Qiu Ziqian replied. ¡°What? He didn¡¯t give you any money, but you¡­¡± Huang Ling called out. ¡°He gave me a house,¡± Qiu Ziqian said. ¡°It¡¯s 178 square meters, and it¡¯s in Yi Ke City.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Huang Ling¡¯s mouth turned into an ¡®O¡¯ shape. When she was bored, Huang Ling often looked at houses and knew how expensive the houses in Yi Ke City were. A 178-square-meter house in Yi Ke City¡­ It would cost at least five to six million, right? He gave it to Qiu Ziqian just like that? ¡°Did he write your name?¡± Huang Ling asked hurriedly. ¡°The contract is in my hand,¡± Qiu Ziqian said with a nod. Ring, ring! At that moment, Qiu Ziqian¡¯s phone vibrated. It was a message from Lin Fan. Lin Fan said: [If you don¡¯t want to be a flight attendant, then quit. I¡¯ll transfer some money to you. Let me know if it¡¯s not enough.] Then, Qiu Ziqian received a message stating that she had received a million dollars. Qiu Ziqian: [Thank you, darling. ] After Qiu Ziqian replied to the message, she waved her phone and said, ¡°He¡¯s giving me money now.¡± ¡°What? A million?¡± Huang Ling¡¯s mouth was wide open again. She had never heard of anyone giving a house that was worth millions and a million bucks in cash. ¡°Ziqian, is he lacking another woman?¡± Huang Ling asked desperately. Qiu Ziqian looked at her pitiful appearance and laughed so hard that her delicate body trembled. Chapter 61 - 61 Mathematical Modeling Competition; Hidden Mission Triggered 61 Mathematical Modeling Competition; Hidden Mission Triggered After Lin Fan returned to Jiangbei University, he went straight to Room 305 of the training building. At this moment, the twins, Xia Bing and Xia Xue, were seriously designing a model in front of the computers. When they caught sight of Lin Fan, their eyes glowed with excitement. Then, they each took out a bottle of energy drink from their backpacks and handed them to Lin Fan. ¡°Thank you,¡± Lin Fan said. He casually opened the two bottles of energy drinks and took a sip from both. When Xia Bing and Xia Xue saw this, the joy on their faces intensified, and a pair of cute little dimples appeared indistinctly. At this moment, Professor Zhang Yong walked in. When he saw Lin Fan, he immediately shouted, ¡°Lin fan, you¡¯re finally here!¡± When Lin Fan heard this, he could not help but rub his nose. Last Saturday, Zhang Yong had been sending him messages, asking him to come early for the training. However, on Saturday, Xinyue Hotel auctioned off a hundred-year-old ginseng. The hundred-year-old ginseng could help Lin Tao¡¯s illness. Of course, Lin Fan had to go. Lin Fan did not return to Jiangbei until Sunday night. On Monday, it was his girlfriend Qin Yuxuan¡¯s birthday. Naturally, Lin Fan had to go to Modu to celebrate. After all that, Lin Fan finally had the time to come to the training room. Zhang Yong said helplessly, ¡°Originally, I wanted to use these few days to train you. However, the competition is tomorrow. If I train you now, it¡¯ll affect your mental state for tomorrow¡¯s competition. Zhang Yong sighed and said, ¡°I¡¯ll talk about the rules again. The competition will last for 72 hours. The difficulty and intensity are very high! ¡°Especially for Lin Fan. He needs to calculate, write his thesis, and defend his thesis. It¡¯s a heavy task! ¡°But you must not panic or be nervous. Just be steady.¡± When Zhang Yong first saw the mathematical models of Lin Fan, Xia Bing, and Xia Xue, he was extremely excited. He immediately felt that Jiangbei University had a chance to win the national prize or even the Higher Education Cup this year! However, now, Zhang Yong had no confidence at all. As a professor, Zhang Yong knew very well that students who were busy with other things would have their results affected. He just hoped that Lin Fan and the rest could get the provincial award. ¡­ The next day, the weather was clear. The bright morning sun rose into the sky like a giant dragon. Many students from the mathematics and computer science departments of Jiangbei University were walking toward the spacious lecture theater. Today¡­ No, for the next three days, they would be participating in the difficult National Mathematical Modeling Competition. Counselor Sun Yaodong stood in the corridor far away and silently watched this scene. At this time, a middle-aged teacher in his 30s or 40s said, ¡°Teacher Sun, you got so many students to sign up for the competition. But it¡¯s useless if you only have quantity but not quality.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not necessarily true,¡± Sun Yaodong said. ¡°Maybe a few of them will win the provincial prize.¡± The middle-aged teacher shook his head with a smile. Clearly, he did not take these words to heart. ¡­ In the lecture hall. Zheng Jinbao looked at the tables that were two meters away from each other. He sighed and said, ¡°It¡¯s over now. I can¡¯t copy even if I want to.¡± On the side, the students from the computer science and mathematics departments were speechless. ¡®So, you¡¯re participating in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition with the intention of plagiarism?¡¯ Zheng Jinbao looked at Song Yi, who was sitting not far away, and muttered, ¡°There¡¯s someone to keep me company anyway, so it¡¯s fine.¡± After he finished speaking, Zheng Jinbao opened the bottle of Coke and took a big gulp, his face full of enjoyment. At this time, Song Yi also looked around. When he saw Zheng Jinbao, he was obviously relieved. The poor students could accompany together and would also rank bottom together¡­ Lin Fan sat on the chair calmly, looking extremely relaxed. It was like he was not here to participate in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition but to drink tea. ¡°Xia Bing, Xia Xue, don¡¯t be nervous. It¡¯s just a competition. Relax,¡± Lin Fan said. Xia Bing and Xia Xue nodded repeatedly. If they were participating in the competition with someone else, they would be as relaxed as Lin Fan. However, they were on the same team as Lin Fan for the competition. They could not help but feel nervous. That was because Xia Bing and Xia Xue had decided in their hearts that they would definitely do their best for Lin Fan and not drag him down. Ding! Ding! At this moment, a crisp bell sound rang throughout the lecture hall. Then, three professors, all over the age of 40, slowly walked in. Among them, the professor with white sideburns said, ¡°Other than team members who are allowed to discuss in low voices, no one else is allowed to whisper to each other. Violators will be disqualified! ¡°The National Mathematical Modeling Competition begins now! ¡°Everyone, please look in front of you!¡± As the old professor finished speaking, three questions appeared on the projector in the lecture hall and on the computers in front of everyone. [1. Design a house.] [2. Design a drainage system.] [3. Design a parking lot.] ¡°Please choose one of the three questions to answer.¡± After seeing these three questions, the students were all dumbfounded. Design a house? A drainage system? A parking lot? Should these not be things that the architectural department should do? This required drawing, designing, and so on, which was indeed a little complicated. However, what did this have to do with the National Mathematical Modeling Competition? Was the competition not about mathematical calculations? Which part of this involved mathematics? The students were stunned for a moment, and after a while, they began to discuss in low voices. ¡°Which question should we choose?¡± A short student from the Computer Science Department asked. ¡°The parking lot¡­ It seems to be simpler?¡± a mathematics student of medium build said hesitantly. Zheng Jinbao denied it and said, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s the drainage system. We can just draw a few ditches.¡± The few of them looked at each other for a while before hesitantly saying, ¡°Then let¡¯s design the drainage system.¡± ¡­ Lin Fan casually glanced at the three questions and immediately had an idea in his mind. ¡°Xia Bing, Xia Xue, which question do you want to do?¡± Lin Fan asked. Xia Bing and Xia Xue did not say anything. They just looked at Lin Fan quietly. It was obvious that they were asking him to choose the question. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll choose then.¡± Lin Fan nodded. He touched his chin and muttered, ¡°Many cities are prone to water accumulation during heavy rain. It¡¯s troublesome to design a drainage system. However, it¡¯s indeed useful¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s choose the second question, which is to design a drainage system.¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue did not have any reaction at all and just nodded repeatedly. At this moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve triggered a hidden mission: win the national prize in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition. Reward: five silver-red packets.] Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up. Chapter 62 - 62 The Match Ends; The Beautiful Twins Are Shocked 62 The Match Ends; The Beautiful Twins Are Shocked Originally, Lin Fan had only planned to answer the question casually. At this moment, he decided to do it well. Lin Fan¡¯s pen flew as he quickly wrote down a series of complicated calculations on the white sheet of paper. Then, he told the requirements and data to Xia Bing and Xia Xue. Instantly, Lin Fan¡¯s team began to make a series of rhythmic clicking sounds. As time passed, the prototype of a drainage system gradually appeared on Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s computers. Soon, it was noon. Many people directly bought their meals to eat at the entrance of the lecture hall. After they finished eating in a hurry, they continued to solve the questions and compete. It could not be helped. The mathematical modeling workload was too heavy. If they did not hurry, they might not be able to complete the task within three days. However, it was completely different with Lin Fan. After eating lunch with Xia Bing and Xia Xue, he leisurely returned to the empty dormitory and prepared to take an afternoon nap. At this moment, his phone vibrated slightly. 12 PM. The red packets appeared! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received six yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you have received 20 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] Today, Lin Fan received a total of 25,009 yuan. Then, he looked at the 818 red packets on the screen. These were the red packets he received after spending 8.188 million yuan on a house in Yi Ke City yesterday. Initially, Lin Fan had planned to collect 1,000 red packets and open them all at once. Now, he was hesitating. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s open them,¡± he muttered. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 3,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received two yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve gained Professional Swimming Experience. With excellent swimming skills, you can display extraordinary charm in the water!] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Professional-Level Aircraft Piloting Skills. Even if it¡¯s a plane, you can fly it easily. You¡¯ll be bursting with charm!] ¡­ From the 818 red packets, Lin Fan received a total of 780,922 yuan, Professional Swimming Experience, and Professor-Level Aircraft Piloting Skills. He did not mind the 780,000 in cash, but he was very satisfied with the two new skills he had obtained. He mumbled, ¡°And the five silver-red packets¡­ Forget it, I¡¯ll wait for the National Mathematical Modeling Competition mission to be completed before opening all of them together.¡± Lin Fan slept until two o¡¯clock, then he slowly walked toward the lecture hall. At this moment, everyone in the lecture hall was doing their best to calculate and design. Lin Fan returned to his seat and sipped some tea. Then, he bent over his desk and started writing. In the blink of an eye, the sky gradually darkened. The lecture hall was still brightly lit. The typing sounds were endless. It was obvious that many of them did not plan to go back to rest at night and would stay in the lecture hall all night. Lin Fan, on the other hand, went back to the dormitory with Xia Bing and Xia Xue to rest when it was time. The second day was similar to the first day. When Lin Fan was about to go back to his dormitory to rest, the white-haired professor finally could not help but walk over and say, ¡°Student, tomorrow is the last day of the competition. Aren¡¯t you going to hurry up and answer the question?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Lin Fan nodded. Then, he walked out of the lecture hall. The old professor was speechless. Yeah? But he left just like that? ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was the third day. The National Mathematical Modeling Competition was an open exam. As long as the students were not noisy in the classroom, did not talk to each other, and did not disturb the order of the competition, they could do anything. Hence, the invigilators and professors¡¯ work was very simple. At this time, only one professor was sitting in the lecture hall, reading the newspaper out of boredom. The other two professors stood in the corridor, drinking tea and taking a breather. One of the younger professors asked, ¡°Professor Zhao, do you know which student is the Lin Fan that Zhang Yong was talking about?¡± The old professor next to him pointed at Lin Fan, who was sitting in the middle of the lecture hall, and said, ¡°There. That¡¯s Lin Fan.¡± ¡°It¡¯s him?¡± The young professor said in surprise, ¡°I noticed that he hasn¡¯t been in a hurry to answer the question these few days¡­¡± ¡°Not in a hurry? He eats and sleeps on time. He doesn¡¯t act like he¡¯s participating in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition at all. It¡¯s more like he¡¯s just taking a look at things here. He doesn¡¯t have the willingness to suffer at all,¡± the old professor said in a disappointed tone. The old professor continued, ¡°Even a normal professor wouldn¡¯t be able to solve these mathematical modeling problems in such a short time. ¡°After today¡¯s competition, I think he might not even be done with his thesis.¡± The young professor nodded in agreement and said, ¡°It¡¯s a pity,¡± As the sun set, the competition finally came to an end. Ding! Ding! After an urgent ringing of the bell¡­ The old professor stood on the podium and said, ¡°Everyone, please rise! Stop answering the questions! Otherwise, you¡¯ll be disqualified!¡± Some people wanted to modify their model and polish their thesis. However, after hearing the old professor¡¯s words, they could only stand up reluctantly. Lin Fan saw that Xia Bing and Xia Xue were still staring at the computer screens as if they were worried about the model. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s already perfect,¡± Lin Fan said. After Xia Bing and Xia Xue heard this, it was as if they had received the best reward. Their two pretty faces were filled with joy and looked extremely sweet. Lin Fan looked at the two of them who were so happy that they could not even make a sound. His heart skipped a beat. He spent 20 million and bought two bottles of Medical Water from the system. ¡°When you guys go back to the dormitory later, drink this.¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue did not ask what it was. They hugged the Medical Water tightly in their arms like it was a treasure. Just like that, they returned to Room 502 of the girls¡¯ dormitory with the Medical Water. After that, Xia Bing and Xia Xue did not hesitate at all and directly opened the bottle of Medical Water and poured the contents into their mouths. In their hearts, as long as Lin Fan asked them to do something, they would definitely listen to him. At this moment, light footsteps could be heard from outside. An oval-faced roommate strolled in. After she saw Xia Bing and Xia Xue, she asked, ¡°You guys are back? How did the mathematical modeling competition go?¡± Then, without waiting for a reply, she sat on the bed and put on her headphones to listen to music. That was because she knew that Xia Bing and Xia Xue could not speak at all. She had just asked casually. Xia Bing and Xia Xue still insisted on gesturing, indicating that they had done well in the competition. After a while, the oval-faced girl seemed to find it a little stuffy in the dormitory, so she got up and opened the window. Whoosh! Suddenly, a strong gust of wind mixed with pollen whistled in. ¡°Ah-choo!¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue could not help but sneeze at the same time. Then, they seemed to realize something and slowly opened their mouths. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Instantly, incomparably clear sounds came out from their throats. The two of them looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief. Then, as if they had thought of something, their eyes fell on the Medical Water in their hands. Chapter 63 ?63 You Can Talk Now; Don¡¯t Let Him Have It Too Easy! Jiangbei University, Room 104 of the male dormitory. Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and Ma Zhong¡¯s eyes were all bloodshot, and they lay on the bed with tired faces. When they were in the lecture hall and saw the mathematical modeling competition questions, they were dumbfounded. If this were an individual competition, Song Yi and Zheng Jinbao would definitely have handed in blank papers. It was too difficult! Hence, it would be an easy choice for them. They would just choose not to do it. However, the mathematical modeling competition had them compete in groups of three. Their teammates would not be allowed to hand in blank papers. Helplessly, Song Yi and Zheng Jinbao had to work with their teammates to complete the task. After spending a lot of time looking up information, they finally had a slight idea. For the past three days, almost all of them had not slept or rested. They had been calculating and designing madly, and they had almost collapsed from exhaustion. ¡°Which question did your team choose?¡± Song Yi asked. ¡°The third question, design a parking lot,¡± Ma Zhong replied. ¡°We also chose this question. My teammate said that this question was the easiest, but it was still so complicated,¡± Song Yi said. As he said this, Song Yi seemed to think of the three days of crazy research and calculation. He could not help but sigh. Zheng Jinbao picked his nose and said, ¡°The third question is the easiest? Shouldn¡¯t the second question about designing a drainage system be the easiest?¡± ¡°The second question is the most difficult one. The drainage system involves many aspects such as terrain, pressure, soil quality, materials, and so on,¡± said Ma Zhong. ¡°If it¡¯s simple, there wouldn¡¯t be so many cities in our country that face issues with flooding. Once it rains, the roads in the cities will all be flooded.¡± Zheng Jinbao blinked his small eyes and suddenly felt that it seemed to make some sense. In addition, Ma Zhong was one of the top students in the class. Generally speaking, he would not make a mistake. Zheng Jinbo could not help but think of his two teammates¡¯ performance over the past three days. They kept saying that the question was very difficult. Moreover, they had even asked several times whether they should change the question. However, he rejected them by saying that the other questions were more difficult. If they found out that designing the drainage system was really the most difficult question out of them all¡­ Would he hit himself? When Zheng Jinbao thought of this, he could not help but wrap his small quilt tightly around him. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, which question did you choose?¡± Ma Zhong asked. ¡°I chose the same as Jinbao, the second question,¡± Lin Fan said. Originally, Ma Zhong wanted to ask if Lin Fan did not really work on any questions for the past three days. After all, he ate and slept normally. However, after hearing Lin Fan¡¯s words, Ma Zhong did not ask any further. In his opinion, the reason why Lin Fan did not try to solve the questions was that he thought that the questions were too difficult, so he chose to give up. When Zheng Jinbao heard Lin Fan¡¯s reply, he wrapped his blanket even tighter around himself. The second question was indeed very difficult! Obviously, Zheng Jinbao¡¯s thoughts were similar to Ma Zhong¡¯s. Ring, ring, ring! At that moment, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket rang. He looked at the screen and was surprised. That was because he realized that it was a call from Xia Bing via WeChat. Lin Fan¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he pressed the answer button. The phone was very quiet. In fact, Lin Fan could faintly hear two hurried breathing sounds. After a while, Lin Fan took the initiative to speak, ¡°Xia Bing, Xia Xue, you two should be able to speak now, right?¡± Two very clear and sweet voices came from the phone. They sounded like the sound of spring water flowing and were extremely pleasant to the ear. Lin Fan¡¯s face revealed a look of enjoyment as he praised, ¡°What nice voices!¡± After a while, weak voices came from the phone. ¡°Thank¡­ Thank you¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re welcome. You must be tired from the competition, right?¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Have a good rest.¡± ¡°No, we¡¯re not tired¡­¡± Pleasant voices quickly came from the phone again. ¡°You¡­ You too¡­ Have a good rest.¡± After hanging up the phone, Xia Bing and Xia Xue were still hugging the phone tightly. Their entire faces were like ripe tomatoes¡ªred. After a long time, they made another WeChat call. Not long after, there was a light-hearted voice on the phone. ¡°Girls, why did you call me? Are you going to do Morse code?¡± the beautiful young lady Yan said with a smile. When Yan saw the incoming call, she was a little surprised. She could not understand why Xia Bing and Xia Xue would call her. In the past, there had never been such a situation. Therefore, she made a casual joke. ¡°Mom¡­ Mom,¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue said. ¡°F*ck! F*ck! The f*ck?!¡± The person on the phone was stunned for a moment. After that, extremely shocked yells were heard. Then, the person on the phone shouted again, ¡°You guys can talk now?!¡± ¡°T-That¡¯s right,¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue said. ¡°Good!¡± Yan exclaimed happily. ¡°Hahaha! Your voices are very nice. As expected of my daughters¡­ No, little sisters! ¡°Remember to call me ¡®Sister¡¯. Don¡¯t call me ¡®Mom¡¯! ¡°My sisters are so sensible. They called me the moment they could speak. Not bad!¡± said Yan, pleased. ¡°We called Lin Fan first,¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue said. The beautiful young lady Yan was speechless. Fengshang District, Qing City. The middle-aged woman looked at her daughter¡¯s carefully dressed appearance and nodded repeatedly. ¡°Siqin is so beautiful,¡± she continued. ¡°We can¡¯t let that Wang Xiaodong marry her so easily!¡± The middle-aged man beside her nodded in agreement. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already talked to Third Brother, Big Ming, and the others. They¡¯ll block the gate.¡± ¡°Third Brother is now the security captain of Yinshan Mall, and Big Ming is a detective¡­ With them blocking the door, Wang Xiaodong won¡¯t be able to marry Siqin so easily!¡± The middle-aged woman thought for a moment and said, ¡°Third brother and the others aren¡¯t enough. Siqin, don¡¯t you have a few best friends? Call all of them over. The more people blocking the door, the better!¡± ¡°Do we have to call so many people over?¡± Gong Siqin said hesitantly. ¡°Of course!¡± The middle-aged woman immediately replied. ¡°Wang Xiaodong has no money and no power! If he marries you so easily, won¡¯t he think you¡¯re cheap?¡± ¡°Actually, Xiaodong¡¯s not bad. He¡¯s quite motivated,¡± Gong Siqin said. Although Gong Siqin often reprimanded Wang Xiaodong, he was the husband she had chosen, and she did not want to be belittled too much. The middle-aged woman sighed and said, ¡°Silly daughter, this isn¡¯t anything difficult. We¡¯re just letting Wang Xiaodong understand how hard it is to marry you! That way, in the future, he¡¯ll cherish you even more! ¡°In addition, we¡¯re only arranging for some people to block the gate! If Wang Xiaodong is really capable, he can just ask some powerful people to open the gate and fetch the bride. If he can¡¯t do that, then he should spend more time to self-reflect!¡± Hearing her mother¡¯s words, Gong Siqin pondered for a moment before nodding. Chapter 64 ?64 Shopping at Yinshan Mall Again to Buy a Necklace The next day, the sun was shining brightly. Since it was Saturday, there were no classes. In addition, the mathematical modeling competition ended yesterday. Therefore, Ma Zhong, Zheng Jinbao, and Song Yi were still lying in bed without any movement. They did not have any intention of getting up. As for Lin Fan, he picked up the phone beside his pillow and took a look. An eye-catching text message notification had already appeared on the screen. [Notice from China Merchant Bank: 141,200 yuan was deposited into your account at 12PM.] For the past three days, the red packets that Lin Fan opened at noon were all cash. In addition to the cash earned from breathing, walking, and sleeping, Lin Fan earned a total of 4.4 million in three days. Even though the purchase of two bottles of Medical Water cost 20 million¡­ Lin Fan still had 142.6 million yuan. After Lin Fan had his breakfast, he drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and headed straight to Qing City. Last week, he had promised Wang Xiaodong that he would attend the wedding if he had time. Wang Xiaodong was Lin Fan¡¯s deskmate in junior high. Back then, Lin Fan¡¯s family was poor, and he could not even afford an exercise book or a ballpoint pen. Wang Xiaodong often gave Lin Fan some, and Lin Fan remembered this. Now, Wang Xiaodong was getting married. Lin Fan did not have much to do this weekend. Furthermore, he could visit his parents and sister when he returned to Qing City. It was killing two birds with one stone. After about an hour, Lin Fan arrived home. Ever since Lin Tao and Dai Weixue had taken the Medical Water, their physical conditions had improved significantly. It was as if they had become ten years younger and were full of energy. At noon, they even ate two big bowls of rice each. In the afternoon, Lin Fan accompanied them to watch television and chat. He would laugh from time to time. He was extremely relaxed. Creak! Creak! At this moment, the door was pushed open. Lin Xiaoyao walked in with her school bag. ¡°She looked at Lin Fan and was surprised. Brother, when did you come back?¡± After she finished speaking, she immediately pounced into Lin Fan¡¯s embrace. ¡°I¡¯ve only been back for a while.¡± Lin Fan pinched Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s face. ¡°You¡¯ve slimmed down. Hurry up and eat more.¡± Lin Xiaoyao shouted, ¡°Dad, Mom! Look, he¡¯s teasing me again!¡± ¡°Your brother is right. You need to eat more,¡± Dai Weixue said. Lin Fan looked at Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s defeated expression and could not help but want to laugh. ¡°Why are you so early today? Don¡¯t you have to go to the evening self-study session?¡± Lin Fan understood the situation at Qing City¡¯s No. 1 High School. Generally speaking, there was no need for evening self-study sessions on Sundays. ¡°It¡¯s the monthly test today,¡± Lin Xiaoyao said. ¡°So I won¡¯t be attending the evening self-study session.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head. ¡°Brother, take me out again today!¡± Lin Xiaoyao said excitedly. ¡°Sure, where do you want to go?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Yin Mountain shopping center!¡± Lin Xiaoyao said directly. Ever since Lin Xiaoyao found out that Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder of Yinshan Mall, she had been looking forward to shopping with him again. That was because, in her eyes, she was not shopping at all but shopping at her own home! Unfortunately, Lin Fan had not returned for the past few days. He did come back last week but left after lunch. This time, he had finally returned, so Lin Xiaoyao naturally had to seize the opportunity. Lin Fan pinched Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s face and smiled. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go to Yinshan Mall, then.¡± When Lin Xiaoyao got into the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, her bright eyes could not help but look around. At the traffic light. Lin Xiaoyao looked at the car waiting at the side and said excitedly, ¡°Brother, our car is so tall.¡± Lin Fan just smiled and nodded. Boom! When the green light came on, Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator and sped forward. Soon, they arrived at Yinshan Mall. Nothing unexpected happened during this shopping trip, and Lin Xiaoyao quickly bought a few pieces of clothing. At that moment, Lin Fan stopped in his tracks and looked at a store not far away. Lin Fan¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he walked over. ¡°Big Brother, why are we going to a jewelry store?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked. ¡°Let¡¯s see if there¡¯s anything suitable for you and our parents. I also need to buy a wedding gift for my classmate tomorrow,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s beautiful eyes immediately lit up when she heard that he was going to buy her something. However, when she leaned against the glass counter and saw the shocking prices, she shouted again, ¡°Brother, the things here are so expensive. Let¡¯s go to another store.¡± Lin Xiaoyao had shopped in jewelry stores with her friends before, so she had some understanding of the prices. However, the price of the jewelry in front of her was several times higher than that of other shops, maybe even ten times higher! Lin Xiaoyao knew that her brother had a sports car and a Mercedes-Benz and was very rich. He had also said that he could let her spend his money. However, Lin Xiaoyao was definitely not someone who would spend money recklessly. At this moment, a shop assistant of medium build smiled and said, ¡°Every piece of jewelry from Bulgari is made from the best materials and then designed by a famous designer. ¡°So, the price is indeed more expensive than the average jewelry. ¡°But our style is fashionable, cutting edge, and the quality is excellent. In this aspect, we¡¯re far superior to ordinary jewelry.¡± Lin Fan pointed at a necklace in a glass cabinet not far away and said, ¡°Lil Yao, what do you think of this necklace?¡± Lin Xiaoyao looked in the direction he was pointing. She only saw¡­ The shop assistant took out the necklace and introduced it, ¡°This necklace is called Moon Princess. It¡¯s the work of famous designer John Ryan from Japan. ¡°The chain is made of 99 Platinum. It¡¯s dynamic, fashionable, and extremely strong. It doesn¡¯t break easily. ¡°The pendant of the necklace looks like a beautiful princess sitting on the moon from a distance. This piece is full of dreamy colors. ¡°At the same time, the princess is surrounded by four diamonds, which symbolize the lucky four-leaf clover, meaning that it¡¯ll bring the princess endless good luck.¡± As the sales assistant introduced the item to them and Lin Xiaoyao observed the pendant up close, her eyes shone even brighter. Whether it was the shape, the symbol, or the meaning¡­ She loved this necklace so much. It could almost be said to be perfect! Naturally, Lin Fan saw everything. He smiled and nodded. ¡°Okay, then wrap this necklace up.¡± Then, Lin Fan asked the shop assistant to take out a jade bracelet, a lighter embedded with gems, and a pair of pure gold lovebirds. He took out a bank card. Beep! With a soft sound, the payment was successful. Lin Fan saw that Lin Xiaoyao was still staring at the necklace and could not help but smile. ¡°Put it on and let me see.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Xiaoyao said excitedly. She looked at Moon Princess, which she was wearing around her neck, and her eyes lit up. Her pretty face was full of excitement. Lin Xiaoyao took a selfie with her phone and asked, ¡°How much is this necklace?¡± ¡°188,888 yuan,¡± the sales assistant said. Crash! Lin Xiaoyao did not hold her phone properly, and it fell to the ground. Chapter 65 - 65 Gifts for Mom and Dad; Professional Go Skills! 65 Gifts for Mom and Dad; Professional Go Skills! Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s throat was dry, and she asked, ¡°What did you just say? How much¡­ is it?¡± ¡°The Moon Princess is 188,888 yuan, the sapphire lighter is 48,888 yuan, the jade bracelet is 46,666 yuan, and the pure gold pair of lovebirds is 36,666 yuan,¡± The shop assistant immediately listed out all the prices. Lin Xiaoyao did not hear the prices after that. However, she heard the price of her necklace clearly! 188,888 yuan! Lin Xiaoyao had never seen so much money in her life! If they were all exchanged for hundred-yuan bills, they would probably pile up to the height of her head. In other words, she was not wearing a necklace at all! Instead, she was carrying around a nearly endless stack of cash! Lin Xiaoyao quickly took off the necklace and said, ¡°Brother, it¡¯s too expensive. I don¡¯t want it.¡± Lin Fan looked at how anxious she was and smiled. ¡°You¡¯re too late. I¡¯ve already paid.¡± ¡°Huh? What do we do now?¡± As Lin Xiaoyao spoke, she could not help but glance at the sales assistant. It was obvious that she was asking if she could return it. Lin Fan pinched Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s face and smiled. ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no need to have it returned! You can wear it with ease. ¡°Have you forgotten that the entire Yinshan Mall belongs to me? Getting my family some gifts don¡¯t mean anything.¡± Lin Xiaoyao gradually gave up on the idea of returning it and said, ¡°Brother, if I wear this outside¡­ will it get snatched?¡± After she finished speaking, she did not forget to look around. It was as if someone would jump out and snatch the necklace at any time. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Then why don¡¯t you put it on and stuff it into your clothes?¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Lin Xiaoyao put it on again and held it tightly in her arms. Then, Lin Fan and Lin Xiaoyao slowly walked toward the car park. At that moment, Gong Leqi, the security guard who had just been appointed, saw Lin Fan when he was patrolling the mall. At first glance, Gong Leqi felt that he looked familiar. Then, he took out his mobile phone and compared the photos. The next moment, Gong Leqi¡¯s eyes widened, and he immediately straightened his back like a patrolling soldier saluting his officer with his eyes. It was no wonder he was acting like this. That was because the previous head of security was fired because of Lin Fan. That was why Gong Leqi had the chance to become the new security captain. That was a bloody lesson! Gong Leqi did not want to be dismissed because of this. Gong Leqi only relaxed after Lin Fan was far away. He hesitated for a moment but still made a call. ¡­ Zhou Chengjun was the general manager of Yinshan Mall in Qing City. At this moment, he was outside discussing a collaboration with someone. Ring, ring, ring! At this moment, the phone in Zhou Chengjun¡¯s pocket rang. Zhou Chengjun frowned slightly. He hated to be disturbed when he was working. Zhou Chengjun first turned to the middle-aged man sitting opposite him and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ll have to take this call.¡± After pressing the answer button, he said in a slightly displeased tone, ¡°Captain Gong, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Gong Leqi could also tell that Zhou Chengjun was not very happy, so he did not dare to beat about the bush and said, ¡°Manager Zhou, I think I saw that young Mr. Lin from last time. He came to our Yinshan Mall to shop again.¡± The young Mr. Lin? Zhou Chengjun was slightly puzzled at first. Then, with a whoosh, he stood up. ¡°Is it that Mr. Lin from the week before last?¡± Zhou Chengjun asked anxiously. ¡°Yes, it is,¡± Gong Leqi said. Zhou Chengjun said excitedly, ¡°Great! Good call! I¡¯ll be right over!¡± After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chengjun quickly said to the middle-aged man opposite him, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I have something urgent to deal with at the mall. We¡¯ll talk about the cooperation in detail next time.¡± Although cooperation was important, how could it be more important than meeting Mr. Lin? Even if it was just a simple meeting. After Zhou Chengjun finished speaking, he quickly walked outside. Only the middle-aged man sitting opposite him was left mumbling, ¡°Mr. Lin? Who in Qing City can make Zhou Chengjun so concerned about him? Could it be someone from another place?¡± ¡­. Zhou Chengjun was not far from Yinshan Mall. Unfortunately, his speed was still a beat slower than Lin Fan¡¯s. ¡°Mr. Lin just drove off in his Mercedes-Benz G-Class car,¡± Gong Leqi said. ¡°I see,¡± Zhou Chengjun said helplessly. Then, he patted Gong Leqi¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Captain Gong, you¡¯ve done well! If you see Mr. Lin again, let me know immediately.¡± ¡°Will do!¡± Gong Leqi said excitedly. ¡­. After Lin Fan returned home, he gave the sapphire lighter and bracelet to his parents. Lin Tao¡¯s entire face almost bloomed into a flower as he said, ¡°This lighter is so nice. I¡¯ve never seen such a nice lighter before. It¡¯s so comfortable to hold!¡± ¡°Of course, Dad,¡± Lin Xiaoyao said. ¡°Your lighter costs 48,888 yuan.¡± ¡°What? How much is it?¡± Lin Tao exclaimed in surprise. ¡°48,888?¡± Dai Weixue, who was playing with the bracelet, was also extremely surprised. ¡°Then what about my bracelet?¡± ¡°46,666.,¡± Lin Xiaoyao said. ¡°Lil Fan, why did you buy us such expensive things?¡± Dai Weixue chided. ¡°It won¡¯t be good if I fall and break it. Quickly take it back and return it.¡± Dai Weixue had been thrifty her entire life. When she got married, she only bought a bronze ring. As for necklaces, she did not own a single one. Now, she suddenly had a bracelet that was worth tens of thousands of yuan. She could not accept it. ¡°I¡¯ve already bought it, so how can I return it?¡± Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°This is just a small item. Mom, don¡¯t worry and wear it well. In the future, I¡¯ll buy you better ones.¡± Lin Tao touched his lighter and said, ¡°The child is filial to us, so we should happily accept his gifts.¡± It was obvious that he really liked this lighter. However, Lin Tao quickly noticed that Dai Weixue was glaring at him. Therefore, he coughed twice and said, ¡°Lil Fan, we know that you¡¯re very successful now, but don¡¯t waste your money.¡± Dai Weixue said, ¡°We¡¯d definitely be happier if you spent this money on girls¡­ Lil Fan, you¡¯re doing well in your career now. When are you going to bring a girl back for us to see?¡± Lin Fan could not help but think of Qin Yuxuan, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Qiu Qiqian, and the others. ¡°There will be opportunities in the future,¡± he said after a long while. The time spent together as a family would always pass very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was late at night. Lin Fan lay on his bed and looked at his phone screen. [You¡¯ve spent 320,000 yuan and received 32 red packets. Do you want to collect all of them?] This was what he had gotten after buying the jewelry and accessories today. ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 50,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Professional Go Skills.] ¡­ Lin Fan received a total of 173,200 yuan from the 32 red packets. He had spent 320,000 yuan and got back 170,000 yuan. It was almost a 50% discount. Not bad. Of course, Lin Fan did not mind at all. He immediately placed his attention on his Professional Go Skills. [Professional Go Skills: you have go skills that far exceed that of ordinary people, and you can defeat your opponent with ingenious and exquisite skills. You can display a special charm.] Lin Fan touched his chin and muttered, ¡°Go? That¡¯s quite interesting.¡± Chapter 66 - 66 The Wedding Cars; The Wedding Ceremony Begins! 66 The Wedding Cars; The Wedding Ceremony Begins! The next day, Lin Fan drove his Mercedes-Benz G-Class to the Yi family¡¯s neighborhood early in the morning. At this time, there were six shiny Mercedes-Benz cars parked neatly at the entrance of the community. Obviously, these were all wedding cars. Today, Wang Xiaodong was wearing a black suit, and his hair was neatly combed. He looked at the Mercedes wedding car in front of him and nodded slightly. When he turned around, he saw a Mercedes-Benz driving over from a distance. Then, the window of the Mercedes-Benz slowly rolled down. Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°Xiaodong, I¡¯m not late, am I? Congratulations on your wedding.¡± After saying that, Lin Fan got out of the car and handed over the pure gold lovebirds and a red packet. Wang Xiaodong was a little surprised and said, ¡°No¡­ You¡¯re not late. We¡¯re preparing to pick up the bride. Thank you.¡± In fact, when Wang Xiaodong met Lin Fan last week, he roughly told him the wedding time and address. After that, they did not talk anymore. Wang Xiaodong and Lin Fan only had a good relationship in junior high. After that, they did not keep in touch. The last time they suddenly met, he asked Lin Fan to attend the wedding and bring gifts. Wang Xiaodong was embarrassed. Even if Lin Fan did not come, Wang Xiaodong would definitely not have blamed him. Lin Fan naturally understood Wang Xiaodong¡¯s thoughts. He patted Wang Xiaodong¡¯s shoulder and smiled, ¡°As expected of a groom. He¡¯s almost as handsome as me.¡± Wang Xiaodong burst out laughing after hearing Lin Fan¡¯s words. The atmosphere instantly became much more relaxed. They seemed to have returned to their middle school days. At this moment, a man holding flowers, ribbons, and other things strode over. When he saw Lin Fan¡¯s Mercedes-Benz G-Class car, his eyes lit up. ¡°F*ck! A Mercedes-Benz G-Class! You¡¯re using this car as one of the wedding cars? Isn¡¯t that too cool?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not this one¡­¡± Wang Xiaodong quickly explained. ¡°Just use my car. It¡¯s just sitting here,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°What¡­ Can I?¡± Wang Xiaodong hesitated. ¡°Of course, you can!¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Lin Fan, thank you,¡± Wang Xiaodong said. In fact, Wang Xiaodong¡¯s eyes had lit up when he first saw the Mercedes-Benz G-Class car. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class car was one of his favorite cars. If he could use this car as his wedding car, he would naturally be very happy. However, Wang Xiaodong was already embarrassed that Lin Fan, a friend who had not been in contact with him for many years, was able to attend the wedding. He really could not make the request to ask Lin Fan to lend him his car for a day. ¡°What¡¯s there to thank me for?¡± Lin Fan smiled. Very quickly, Lin Fan¡¯s Mercedes-Benz G-Class car was decorated. When the auspicious time arrived, Lin Fan acted as the driver and drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class toward the bride¡¯s location. Although it was a Sunday, there were still many cars on the road. While Lin Fan was waiting at the traffic light, Zhou Chengjun¡¯s Mercedes-Benz E300 was parked at the side. Zhou Chengjun looked at the row of Mercedes-Benz wedding cars and muttered, ¡°It seems¡­ today is another good day.¡± When his gaze shifted to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, especially to Lin Fan in the driver¡¯s seat, his face showed a touch of excitement. ¡°Mr. Lin?¡± ¡°Mercedes-Benz G-Class! That¡¯s right! It¡¯s Mr. Lin!¡± He opened his mouth and wanted to say hello. At this moment, the red light turned green. Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator and sped forward. Originally, Zhou Chengjun was going to talk about cooperation with someone today. However, now, he changed his direction and followed Lin Fan closely. ¡­. On the other hand, in Fengshang District. Two young men were already standing in front of the gate. The shorter young man said, ¡°Is the bride escort coming soon?¡± ¡°It should be soon¡­ Uncle Gong told us to make things difficult for the groom, in case he thinks it¡¯s too easy to marry Sister Siqin. However, I¡¯m worried that it¡¯ll be a little difficult with just the two of us,¡± the round-faced young man said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you still have me!¡± A loud and clear voice came from behind. When the two of them heard this, their faces immediately revealed a touch of joy, and they shouted in unison, ¡°Brother Daming!¡± ¡°Hehe, since Brother Daming is here, there¡¯s nothing to worry about!¡± the shorter young man said. ¡°That¡¯s right! Brother Daming is the captain of our Qing City investigation team! If he were to stand here, he¡¯d be able to block even a dozen bandits!¡± the round-faced young man said. In fact, Wang Daming was not the captain of Qing City¡¯s investigation team. He was just a team leader. However, he did not explain anything. He just listened to their praise and felt smug about it. Wang Daming smiled and waved his hand. ¡°I¡¯m not that powerful. I usually just catch a few petty thieves. ¡°However, it¡¯s impossible for the groom to marry Siqin so easily today!¡± The two young men gave him a thumbs up and said, ¡°Brother Daming, you¡¯re indeed worthy of your name!¡± ¡°Brother Daming, have a cigarette.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll light a fire for Brother Daming.¡± Wang Daming took the cigarette with a smile and took a deep puff, his face full of enjoyment. Beep! At this time, a loud horn sounded in the distance. Wang Daming¡¯s and the other two¡¯s expressions changed, and they quickly threw the cigarette butts into the trash can. As soon as they were done, several Mercedes-Benz cars appeared in their field of vision. The car in the lead was a Mercedes-Benz G-Class car with decorations on it. ¡°The groom is here!¡± Chapter 67 - 67 He’s Actually Here to Pick Up the Bride 67 He¡¯s Actually Here to Pick Up the Bride The bridal convoy obviously knew the rules. When they saw the three people standing in front of the gate of the community, they parked their cars one after another. Then, Lin Fan, Wang Xiaodong, and the others slowly got out of the cars. It was also at this time, Wang Daming, who was originally blocking the gate of the community, immediately stepped aside. No! Not only did Wang Daming give in, but he also pulled the other two young people and retreated to the side. Then, like a soldier meeting his leader, he straightened his back and saluted. The two young men were a little dumbfounded. ¡®This¡­¡¯ What was going on? Did Brother Daming not just say that he could not let the groom marry Siqin easily? Did he not say he was going to make things difficult for the groom? Why did he suddenly retreat to the side? He even pulled the two of them aside. Were they really blocking the door? It looked more like they were here to pick up a relative. There was a custom in Qing City. When a couple got married, the bride would let some capable people with status act as ¡®gatekeepers¡¯ and make things difficult for the groom in all ways. In this way, the groom would know that marriage was not easy and he would cherish his wife more. The man could find people with strong abilities and high status to act as ¡®escorts,¡¯ thus reducing the difficulty. The reason why Wang Daming suddenly stepped aside was that he saw Lin Fan. This was the third time Wang Daming had met Lin Fan. The first time was at the Central Hospital of Qing City. That day, when the leader of Qing City visited the Central Hospital, Wang Daming acted as a guard to protect the leader. At that time, the leader of Qing City was extremely close to Lin Fan. He even took the initiative to visit Lin Fan¡¯s father at the hospital the next day. The second time was at Yinshan Mall. At that time, Wang Daming received a call from the police and realized that Lin Fan was almost beaten up by a group of security guards. Wang Daming¡¯s colleagues kept asking him to catch Lin Fan. Wang Daming was almost scared to death. Later, when the head captain found out about the incident, he immediately dealt with the related personnel strictly. Even Wang Daming himself was criticized. Today was the third time they had met. In Qing City, the higher the status of the escorts, the less difficult it would be. This meant that the bride would marry better. For someone like Lin Fan, who even the higher-ups had to treat as an equal and even please, how could they make things difficult for him? Absolutely not! The groom, Wang Xiaodong, naturally did not know the reason. However, when he saw that the people blocking the door had left, he was happy to relax and walked straight inside. At the same time, loud firecrackers were set off in the neighborhood. The middle-aged man standing in front of the building frowned and said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Wang Daming? He let the groom in so quickly!¡± With a cigarette in his mouth, Gong Leqi pouted and said, ¡°Is he really the captain of the investigation team? He¡¯s so useless!¡± The middle-aged man next to him said, ¡°Wang Daming is a young man, after all. Third Brother, you¡¯re now the security captain of Yinshan Mall. You have experience in blocking people. ¡°I¡¯ll still have to rely on you to block the door later and make things difficult for the groom. ¡°If it¡¯s too easy for the groom to get upstairs, he¡¯ll probably think that Siqin is easy to marry.¡± Gong Leqi patted his chest and said, ¡°Leave it to me! Normally, I¡¯d be able to stop a dozen security guards without any problem! ¡°Today, I¡¯ll definitely give the groom an unforgettable wedding!¡± The middle-aged man nodded in relief. Soon, a large group of people arrived in front of the building. When Gong Leqi saw the groom, Wang Xiaodong, walking in the front, he was quite relaxed. However, when he caught sight of Lin Fan, his eyes narrowed. It was him! The mysterious Mr. Lin who was the largest shareholder of Yinshan Mall! At this moment, the middle-aged man reminded him, ¡°They¡¯re here.¡± Then, he was pulled by Gong Leqi from the entrance of the building to the side. The middle-aged man looked at Gong Leqi in a daze. What was going on? ¡®Didn¡¯t you just say that I can leave this to you? ¡®Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯ll handle it?¡¯ However, he was letting the groom and the rest enter immediately? This was the wedding process that would definitely be unforgettable for the groom? Was this how it was done? Oh, right! It was unforgettable because it was too simple and too easy! The groom, Wang Xiaodong, still did not understand what was going on. However, he did not stop walking through the door. It was a very good thing to get married easily. The middle-aged man did not react until the groom, Wang Xiaodong, and the others had gone upstairs. He shouted in a low voice, ¡°Third Brother, didn¡¯t you want to make things difficult for them? What¡¯s wrong with you? Why did you pull me to the side? Now, they¡¯re going up directly!¡± Make things difficult for them? Make things difficult for Lin Fan? How was that possible? Gong Leqi did not reply immediately. He just looked at Lin Fan¡¯s disappearing back and muttered, ¡°Siqin has found a good husband.¡± Although Wang Xiaodong¡¯s condition was still not good for the time being, to Gong Leqi, since he had a friend like Lin Fan, he would definitely do well in the future! ¡­. In the living room. Gong Siqin¡¯s mother was pacing back and forth, looking a little nervous. Gong Siqin¡¯s father took a sip of tea and said with a smile, ¡°Relax. Wang Xiaodong has just arrived in the community. He¡¯ll be troubled by Third Brother and Daming for at least an hour. ¡°Why are you so nervous now?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiaodong and a large group of people walked in quickly. Seeing this¡­ Gong Siqin¡¯s parents were both stunned. What was going on? Did Wang Xiaodong not just arrive at the neighborhood? Why did he come upstairs so quickly? Even if he were to walk normally, it would probably take more time to walk from the entrance of the community to their home. Did Third Brother and Daming not stop them? Wang Xiaodong did not care so much. He greeted Gong Siqin¡¯s parents with a smile and walked straight to the door. ¡­ At this moment, in the room. Gong Siqin and her best friend, Huang Zifei, had also noticed the commotion outside. Huang Zifei said disdainfully, ¡°Aren¡¯t the people blocking the door in front too weak? They let Wang Xiaodong come up so quickly.¡± ¡°Siqin, don¡¯t worry,¡± she said after a pause. ¡°I¡¯ll guard your home! ¡°I¡¯m a nurse at the Central Hospital of Qing City. I have to deal with the hospital fees of countless patients every day. I¡¯ll be the last person to block the door. I¡¯ll make sure that Wang Xiaodong won¡¯t marry you so easily!¡± Huang Zifei slowly walked toward the door. At the same time, she turned on the surveillance camera that had been installed earlier to observe the situation outside. Huang Zifei¡¯s gaze swept across Wang Xiaodong and the others. When she saw Lin Fan, her relaxed face immediately showed an unconcealed shock. It was him! The family member of the patient staying in the VIP ward! Not long ago, Huang Zifei had been assigned to take care of a special care patient¡ªLin Tao. Huang Zifei clearly remembered how polite the director had been to the patient¡¯s son, Lin Fan. At that time, Huang Zifei understood that Lin Fan was a big shot. Therefore, when she was taking care of Lin Tao, she was especially attentive. Later on, when Lin Fan conversed with the director, he casually mentioned that she had taken good care of his father. After that, Huang Zifei was publicly praised by the hospital. Huang Zifei did not expect to meet Lin Fan here. Furthermore, he was one of the people picking the bride up. Did she still have to make it difficult for him? How was that possible? Huang Zifei did not hesitate at all. She opened the door and respectfully retreated to the side. Gong Siqin, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, was dumbfounded. What was going on? ¡®Huang Zifei¡­ Is this what you meant when you said that the people blocking the door were too weak? ¡®Is this what you meant by guarding the door of my home?¡¯ Chapter 68 - 68 Big Shots Arrive One After Another, Causing a Sensation at the Scene 68 Big Shots Arrive One After Another, Causing a Sensation at the Scene Just like that, Gong Siqin was carried out of the room by Wang Xiaodong with a confused face. In fact, Gong Siqin was not the only one who was confused. Her parents, as well as most of the guests, were also dumbfounded. This did not seem to be the plan they came up with a few days ago. Wang Xiaodong had completed the marriage ceremony so easily? From the time he entered the neighborhood until now, had it been five minutes? Five minutes? This was probably¡­ He was going to set a record for the fastest marriage in Qing City, right? Wang Xiaodong did not care so much. He walked to the side and silently poured hot water. He was ready to offer tea to Gong Siqin¡¯s parents and complete the last step of the marriage ceremony. At this moment, a series of heavy footsteps came from the corridor. Then, Zhou Chengjun strode in. When he saw Lin Fan, he heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Lin Fan had already left. After that, Zhou Chengjun smiled and said, ¡°I came uninvited. I hope I¡¯m not disturbing you. I wish the couple a happy wedding.¡± Most of the people present did not know Zhou Chengjun, and some even thought that he had come to the wrong place. Therefore, they did not reply immediately. Gong Leqi, who was standing in the crowd, said in surprise, ¡°General Manager Zhou, why are you here?¡± ¡°Do you know him?¡± someone asked. Gong Leqi did not reply. He walked up and said respectfully, ¡°Hello, General Manager Zhou.¡± One had to know¡­ Gong Leqi was also a capable person in everyone¡¯s eyes. Not long ago, he became the security captain of Yinshan Mall, and many people were envious of him. However, he was actually so respectful to the middle-aged man in front of him? General Manager Zhou? Everyone could not help but secretly guess his identity. ¡°I remember now, he¡¯s Zhou Chengjun!¡± someone said quickly. ¡°Who¡¯s Zhou Chengjun?¡± asked the person beside him. ¡°Are you still from Qing City? You don¡¯t even know that he¡¯s the general manager of Yinshan Mall!¡± someone else shouted. ¡°That¡¯s right! He¡¯s Zhou Chengjun. I¡¯ve seen the news about him a few days ago!¡± someone shouted. As soon as they said that, the scene immediately became lively. Yinshan Mall was the largest shopping center in Qing City! The general manager of Yinshan Mall was the boss of Yinshan Mall! This kind of existence was definitely a big shot in everyone¡¯s eyes. Now, he had actually come to the scene. To them, it was as if a noble had suddenly come to the commoners¡¯ cave. How novel and exciting! Zhou Chengjun nodded at Gong Leqi, then walked to Lin Fan¡¯s side and said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Mhm. That incident at Yinshan Mall is already in the past. Don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mr. Lin,¡± Zhou Chengjun quickly said. The stone in his heart finally fell. Last time, Lin Fan was almost beaten up by the security guards at Yinshan Mall. Lin Fan had told Chairman Song Zhifeng that he had handled it well. However, Zhou Chengjun was still a little worried and scared. He wanted to look for Lin Fan and apologize once more. Therefore, when Gong Leqi said that he had seen Lin Fan, he put down everything he was doing and rushed over. He followed them here today for the same reason. Now, after hearing Lin Fan¡¯s words, Zhou Chengjun understood that the matter was finally over. ¡°This is the groom, Wang Xiaodong. He¡¯s also my good friend,¡± Lin Fan said. Zhou Chengjun quickly took out a gold bangle from his pocket and said, ¡°Mr. Wang, congratulations on your wedding!¡± Ever since he saw Lin Fan at the traffic light, Zhou Chengjun had been following him. When he saw Lin Fan enter Fengshang District, Zhou Chengjun hurriedly turned around and went to the nearest jewelry store to buy the gold bracelet. That was why he was a few steps late. Wang Xiaodong quickly said, ¡°This¡­ This is too valuable.¡± This gold bangle was very thick and heavy. At first glance, it was probably worth tens of thousands of yuan. Wang Xiaodong and Zhou Chengjun had no relationship with each other at all. He did not dare to accept such a valuable gift. ¡°Xiaodong, just accept it.¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t General Manager Zhou have made a wasted trip?¡± Zhou Chengjun also chimed in. ¡°That¡¯s right. Mr. Wang, please accept it. This is nothing.¡± Wang Xiaodong hesitated for a while and finally put the gold bangle away. Zhou Chengjun thought for a while, then took out a business card from his pocket and said, ¡°Mr. Wang, we can keep in touch in the future.¡± Wang Xiaodong was Lin Fan¡¯s good friend. It would not hurt to interact more with him. At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside the corridor. Then, two men in suits and leather shoes, exuding an extraordinary aura, strode in. The man walking in front smiled and said, ¡°Congratulations to the newlyweds. May they have a happy wedding and be united forever! When everyone saw him, they frowned again. That was because they felt that this person was a little familiar. However, they were certain that they did not know who he was. At this time, Wang Daming, who was standing in the crowd, blurted out, ¡°Leader Zhao!¡± His words were like a bomb that exploded at the scene! Wang Daming¡¯s body could not help but shake. ¡°That¡¯s right! It¡¯s the big leader! I even saw him on the news yesterday!¡± ¡°Oh my God, the big leader is actually here!¡± ¡°Good day, Leader!¡± Everyone was going crazy. That was right, the person was the leader of Qing City, Zhao Jiaqi. It had to be said that Zhao Jiaqi was a busy and attentive leader. Even though it was a Sunday, he still went out to deal with some matters. On the way, Zhao Jiaqi happened to see Lin Fan driving the wedding car. After thinking for a while, Zhao Jiaqi made the same choice as Zhou Chengjun and followed closely behind. Thus, the scene in front of them appeared. Zhao Jiaqi smiled at the crowd as a form of greeting. Then, just like Zhou Chengjun, he came to Lin Fan¡¯s side and said, ¡°Lil Bro Lin, long time no see.¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s been almost two weeks,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Brother Zhao, this is the groom today and my good friend, Wang Xiaodong.¡± Zhao Jiaqi smiled and said, ¡°Mr. Wang, you¡¯re a man of striking appearance! I wish you a happy marriage and that you¡¯ll have a child soon!¡± After he finished speaking, he handed out a red packet. Wang Xiaodong was completely dumbfounded by Zhao Jiaqi¡¯s arrival. He might keep in touch with Zhou Chengjun from Yinshan Group in the future. Now, the leader of Qing City, Zhao Jiaqi, was an existence at the top of the world! Under usual circumstances, he would never be able to see someone like him in his life. Now, he was actually attending his wedding? He even gave him a red packet? Wang Xiaodong was so excited that he did not know what to do. ¡°Xiaodong, hurry up and accept the red packet!¡± Lin Fan laughed. Wang Xiaodong finally reacted and said, ¡°Thank you, thank you, Leader.¡± Even though the red packet was not thick and it was actually very thin, in Wang Xiaodong¡¯s hand, it was like a thousand pounds! This was a red packet personally given by the leader of Qing City! Chapter 69 - 69 Successful Marriage and Return 69 Successful Marriage and Return Everyone looked at Wang Xiaodong and the others with envy. Wang Xiaodong was already excited and nervous because of the leader¡¯s presence. At this moment, with so many people staring at him, he was even more at a loss. Lin Fan reminded him, ¡°Xiaodong, didn¡¯t you just pour some tea? Quickly, serve some tea to my in-laws.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Wang Xiaodong said. Then, he quickly picked up the teacups and walked to Gong Siqin¡¯s parents. ¡°Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, please have some tea.¡± When Gong Siqin¡¯s parents saw that Wang Xiaodong managed to pick up their daughter easily, they decided that they would make things difficult for Wang Xiaodong again during the tea-drinking ceremony. No matter what, they had to let Wang Xiaodong understand how difficult it was to marry their daughter. However, at this moment, they had completely thrown these thoughts to the back of their minds. They took the slightly cold tea and poured it into their mouths. The two of them smiled and said, ¡°Good! Our good son-in-law!¡± Make things difficult for Wang Xiaodong? What a joke! The general manager of Yinshan Mall and the leader of Qing City had personally come to give gifts! Wang Xiaodong was such a good son-in-law. They had to hold him tightly in their hands, so why would they make things difficult for him? What if Wang Xiaodong felt that it was too difficult to marry their daughter and decided not to marry her? What should they do then? Wang Xiaodong heaved a sigh of relief. Just like this, the marriage ceremony was completed. Wang Xiaodong turned around and said seriously, ¡°Lin Fan, thank you. I really don¡¯t know how to repay you.¡± He knew very well that the general manager of Yinshan Group and the leader of Qing City had come to give him gifts because of Lin Fan. As a result, he had become familiar with the leader of Qing City. Yinshan Group¡¯s general manager even took the initiative to give him a business card. These¡­ To him, they would definitely bring him endless benefits. In fact, the reason why today¡¯s wedding was so smooth was all because of Lin Fan¡¯s efforts. ¡°Xiaodong, why are you being so polite?¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°When we were deskmates in junior high school, you often gave me ballpoint pens, exercise books, and even meal tickets¡­ At that time, you didn¡¯t ask for anything in return, did you?¡± Some ballpoint pens, exercise books, and meal tickets! Now, Lin Fan had returned the favor with something so huge. A drop of kindness would be repaid with a fountain! When some of the people around heard this, they silently thought to themselves, ¡®Should I ask my children to give their deskmates some ballpoint pens and exercise books?¡¯ The two young men standing beside Wang Daming whispered, ¡°Brother Daming, I finally understand why you pulled us aside just now.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll have to get closer to Siqin¡¯s family in the future,¡± Wang Daming muttered to himself. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± The two young men nodded. The middle-aged man beside Gong Leqi said, ¡°Third Brother, it¡¯s a good thing you pulled me to the side earlier. Siqin has found such a good husband, so why would we put the groom in a difficult position? They should hurry up and get married!¡± Gong Leqi nodded in agreement. These words seemed to have been heard by Gong Siqin¡¯s parents. They urged him, ¡°Good son-in-law, look¡­ It¡¯s getting late. Hurry up and bring Siqin to your house.¡± In the past, when parents married off their daughters, they would all wish that their daughters could stay at home for a while longer. Who would be like Gong Siqin¡¯s parents? It was simply¡­ It was as if she would not be able to get married if she was one step slower. Wang Xiaodong nodded. Then, a large group of people headed toward the Yi family¡¯s estate. Lin Fan and Zhou Chengjun followed. Zhao Jiaqi left immediately. After all, he was the leader of Qing City, and there were many things waiting for him to deal with. It was already very rare for him to be able to take some time out today to attend the wedding. ¡­. At Wang Xiaodong¡¯s wedding, Lin Fan was arranged to sit at the head of the table. From time to time, people would toast to him, and the atmosphere was very cheerful. Lin Fan had the ability of Drinking Gentleman. He could drink a thousand glasses without getting drunk. However, when one drank too much, it was inevitable that they would have to use the loo. When Lin Fan entered the washroom, his phone vibrated. 12:00 PM. Red packets appeared! [Ding! Congratulations, you have received 10,000 Yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 20 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Professional Xiangqi Skills.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] ¡­ Today, Lin Fan received a total of 30,200 yuan and Professional Chess Skills. Lin Fan chose to ignore the 30,200 yuan. He immediately turned his attention to his Professional Chess Skills. [Professional Chess Skills: Horse Walking the Sun, Elephant Walking the Field¡­ Every chess move is played well, unparalleled skills are displayed, and you¡¯ll show amazing charm.] Lin Fan could not help but mumble, ¡°Yesterday, I received Professional Go Skills, and today, I received Professional Chess Skills? Are you trying to make me an invincible chess player?¡± Lin Fan shook his head and returned to the banquet. At this moment, there was already a large group of people standing at the side, waiting to give him a toast. Lin Fan was the same as before, not rejecting anyone. Everyone ate and drank together, and the wedding banquet finally came to an end. Most people would reek of alcohol for a long time after drinking. Their blood contained a high concentration of alcohol, which caused them to be delirious. However, Lin Fan had Drinking Gentleman. He drank wine like he was drinking water. After the wine entered his stomach, it quickly broke down. There was no smell of alcohol on his body, and there was no alcohol in his blood. Thus, after the wedding, he drove straight home. Lin Fan spent the entire afternoon with his parents and sister. It was a very relaxed and warm time. Dai Weixue had specially prepared dinner earlier and told Lin Fan to go to Jiangbei early, in case it was too late and not safe on the road. Before he left, Lin Xiaoyao reminded him, ¡°Brother, the next time you come back, remember to send me a message in advance.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Fan said. As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class forward. About an hour later, Lin Fan arrived at Jiangbei. He did not go back to school but went straight to Yi Ke City. Room 2501. This was the place that Lin Fan had given to Qiu Ziqian a few days ago. Last time, Lin Fan clearly remembered that his house could only be considered clean and tidy. However, it was also very quiet and empty. At this moment, there were plants, flowers, and goldfish in the house. There were also beautiful calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. The air in the entire house was fresh, warm, and filled with the smell of home. Just then, Qiu Ziqian slowly walked out of the room. Since she was at home, Qiu Ziqian wore relatively little, only a white silk dress. It was because of this that her fiery, fair figure was displayed even more perfectly in front of Lin Fan. Absence made the heart grow fonder. Their eyes met, and as if attracted by a magnet, the two quickly embraced each other. Then¡­ Their figures could be seen on the sofa, balcony, and room. The entire house seemed to be shaking. About three hours later, things slowly calmed down. Qiu Ziqian was like a lazy kitten, lying in Lin Fan¡¯s arms. Creak! Creak! At this moment, the door creaked. Then, a beautiful figure strolled in and said, ¡°Ziqian, I¡¯m here with the fish feed.¡± When she saw Lin Fan and Qiu Ziqian hugging each other, she immediately let out a high-pitched scream. Chapter 70 ?70 Song Jiaxin¡¯s Party Invitation! Huang Ling¡¯s face was as red as a tomato. Then, she quickly turned her head away. The sudden appearance of a person had Lin Fan extremely shocked and embarrassed. ¡°That¡¯s my roommate, Huang Ling,¡± Qiu Ziqian said with a smile. ¡°This place is too big, and I¡¯m bored living alone, so I asked her to move in. Darling, you won¡¯t blame me, right?¡± Lin Fan waved his hands. ¡°Of course not. It¡¯s a good thing to have someone with you.¡± The two of them talked as they put on their clothes. Then, they walked into the living room. Qiu Ziqian acted as if nothing had happened and poured Lin Fan a cup of tea. Huang Ling¡¯s face was still a little red. She raised her head and looked at Lin Fan. Then, she lowered her head like a shy little rabbit. Earlier, Lin Fan was indeed a little embarrassed. At this moment, he had recovered. He looked at Huang Ling¡¯s shy expression and found it interesting. He quietly sized her up. Like Qiu Ziqian, Huang Ling¡¯s skin was very fair, and her figure was excellent. Her facial features were more three-dimensional, which were very pleasing to the eye. Lin Fan praised in his heart, ¡°There are indeed beauties beside a beauty!¡± Lin Fan then used his Eyes of Truth to check her out. [Face value: 95] [Favorability: 75] Lin Fan was not too surprised by her face value of 95. However, a favorability of 75? She seemed to have a good impression of him. At this moment, Qiu Ziqian, who was sitting next to him, introduced, ¡°Darling, this is my best friend, Huang Ling.¡± ¡°Huang Ling? It¡¯s a nice name. Hello, I¡¯m Lin Fan,¡± Lin Fan introduced himself. At the same time, he extended his right hand toward her. Huang Ling stretched out her dainty hand and shook Lin Fan¡¯s hand gently. Her skin was smooth, and her fingers were slender. Lin Fan could not help but think of this. Qiu Ziqian took advantage of her free time to go to the kitchen and cut some apples, watermelon, and honeydew. She put them onto a plate and served it in the living room. After being introduced to each other and eating some fruits, the atmosphere finally relaxed. ¡°Oh right, Ziqian, how much money do you have left?¡± Lin Fan asked. The house had changed a lot, so she had probably spent a lot of money on it. ¡°I bought a Mini Cooper this week. Then, I bought some furniture and cosmetics. I also transferred 200,000 yuan to my family. I still have 310,000 yuan on hand,¡± Qiu Ziqian said honestly. When Lin Fan heard this, he let out a weird expression. A Mini Cooper? A Mini Cooper again? Did that not mean that almost all the girls who were related to him had a Mini Cooper? Then, Lin Fan took out his phone and started working on it. Ding! Ding! Qiu Ziqian¡¯s phone vibrated. At the same time, her phone rang out. [WeChat transfer, one million yuan.] Qiu Ziqian looked at the long row of zeros on her phone. She did not even care about Huang Ling, who was still sitting beside her. Her hot lips immediately landed on Lin Fan¡¯s body. ¡°Darling, thank you.¡± Huang Ling¡¯s beautiful eyes widened. ¡®What¡­ He gave her one million just like that?¡¯ Huang Ling had heard of some generous people, but she had never heard of anyone who would give one million yuan for two weeks straight! ¡®This¡­¡¯ Did his family operate a money-printing factory? It was nighttime. It was uncertain if it was because absence made the heart grow fonder or if there were other reasons, but the entire bed was shaking more violently than before. Huang Ling, who was next door, could still hear the sounds even if she covered her ears. She tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep. ¡­ The next day. There were dumplings, noodles, poached eggs, fruit, milk, and everything else. Lin Fan ate to his heart¡¯s content, then headed straight to Jiangbei University. At this moment, Huang Ling finally dragged her tired body out slowly. ¡°You don¡¯t seem to have rested well?¡± Qiu Ziqian asked. ¡°You guys were so loud last night. How could I have had a good rest?¡± Huang Ling said. Qiu Ziqian was not embarrassed at all. Instead, she smiled. ¡°What do you think of Lin Fan?¡± she asked. How was he? He was young, handsome, rich, and generous! He was simply¡­ He was the perfect male god! Normally, as her best friend, Huang Ling should stop Qiu Ziqian from dating Lin Fan. However, at this moment, Huang Ling had no intention of dissuading her. In fact, there was an inexplicable trace of envy in her heart and also a trace of¡­ jealousy? It was very strange! Therefore, even though Huang Ling opened her mouth, she did not comment on Lin Fan right away. Qiu Ziqian looked at Huang Ling¡¯s expression. How could she not know what she was thinking? She took Huang Ling¡¯s hand and asked, ¡°How about it? Do you want to follow Lin Fan?¡± Huang Ling¡¯s face instantly turned red. She shook her head and said, ¡°No, no¡­¡± This seemed to be within Qiu Ziqian¡¯s expectations. She did not force it and said, ¡°Let¡¯s eat first.¡± ¡­ At this time, Lin Fan had already returned to Jiangbei University. Originally, he had a class with Tiantian today, but she was temporarily transferred to evaluate the results of the mathematical modeling competition. Hence, an old professor replaced the teacher. The students, who were originally excited, were completely dispirited when they saw that the old professor was teaching. However, this was a good thing for Lin Fan. He was a little tired from last night. Now, Lin Fan was listening to the old professor¡¯s long-winded lecture. It was like a lullaby, bringing him directly into his dreams. Lin Fan had an extremely comfortable sleep. It was already noon when he woke up. As usual, Lin Fan went to the canteen to line up and eat. At this moment, his phone vibrated. 12:00 PM. The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you have received ten yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 40,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one yuan.] Today, Lin Fan only received 50,105 yuan and nothing else. In the afternoon, the old professor had another class. Lin Fan was welcomed by a lullaby once more and slept very soundly. When the school bell rang, Lin Fan finally woke up. At this moment, a beautiful figure appeared beside him. ¡°It¡¯s my birthday today. I¡¯m planning to host a small party at home. Do you have time to come over?¡± Lin Fan¡¯s face was filled with shock. He did not expect Song Jiaxin and Qin Yuxuan¡¯s birthdays to be so close. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Do you have any arrangements?¡± Song Jiaxin saw that Lin Fan did not reply immediately and asked suspiciously. ¡°No, no, I¡¯ll definitely be there on time tonight,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll send you the address later.¡± Song Jiaxin smiled. After she finished speaking, she slowly walked away. At this moment, Lin Fan felt as if he was being stared at by a pack of hungry wolves. He could not help but shiver and look around. He only saw¡­ Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and Ma Zhong were looking at him with red eyes. ¡°We kneel to Brother Lin Fan!¡± they shouted in unison. Chapter 71 ?71 Buy a Gift and Get a Mall! Lin Fan looked at their funny faces and laughed. ¡°What are you guys doing?¡± ¡°First, it was the twin sisters, then, it was Teacher Tiantian¡­ Now, even the ice beauty Song Jiaxin has taken the initiative to invite you. Brother Lin Fan, are you the reincarnation of the Saint of Love?¡± Song Yi shouted. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, have you ever thought about the feelings of single men like us?¡± Zheng Jinbao asked. Ma Zhong nodded his head. Lin Fan burst out laughing once more. ¡­ Lin Fan did not go back to his dormitory. He drove his Lamborghini directly to KM mall. After all, he had to prepare a present for Song Jiaxin¡¯s birthday party. Chanel¡¯s jewelry store. The female sales assistant of medium build smiled and said, ¡°Welcome to Chanel! How can I help you?¡± Lin Fan did not reply. Instead, he quickly scanned the glass cabinet. Not long after, he pointed to a purple bracelet in the middle of the counter and said, ¡°Let me see this bracelet.¡± ¡°This is Chanel¡¯s latest bracelet,¡± the saleswoman said. ¡°It¡¯s called the Heart of Secrets. It was made by a famous designer from Nastan, Lawrence Dori. ¡°The main body of this bracelet is made of five diamonds and amethyst gems. ¡°Look, these five diamonds are surrounding each other like a leaf.¡± ¡°The four-leaf clover represents luck, while the five-leaf clover represents mystery. Coupled with the equally mysterious purple color, the entire bracelet is even more mysterious. It¡¯s deep and dazzling, making people yearn for it, but it¡¯s also hard to grasp.¡± Lin Fan listened to the sales assistant¡¯s introduction and looked at the bracelet carefully. He asked, ¡°How much is this bracelet?¡± ¡°The Heart of Secrets is being sold for 588,888 yuan. If you¡¯re sure you want it, I can apply for a 10% discount from the store manager,¡± the female sales assistant said. Lin Fan knew that Song Jiaxin¡¯s family definitely did not lack money. The bracelet looked good and had a good meaning. The price was 588,888 yuan, not too expensive nor too cheap. It was just right! ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Help me wrap it up. As for the discount, I¡¯ll give it to you as a tip.¡± After all, the female shop assistant¡¯s introduction was quite good. As for the discount, Lin Fan did not really care about it. The saleswoman¡¯s heart was beating wildly with joy when she heard this. She quickly said, ¡°Thank you, Sir.¡± After all, 10% of 588,888 yuan was a total of 5,888 yuan! This was not a small sum of money. In addition, she could also get a commission if she sold the bracelet. These two added together were already equivalent to one or two months of her salary! Soon, the saleswoman placed the Heart of Secrets in an extremely beautiful box and gave him some small gifts to express her gratitude. Lin Fan returned to his Lamborghini and looked at his phone screen. [You¡¯ve spent 580,000 yuan and received 58 red packets. Do you want to collect all of them?] Obviously, these were the red packets that he had just received from buying the bracelet. Lin Fan tapped to receive it. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 20,000 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1 KM Mall in Jiangbei.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 5,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 800 yuan.] ¡­ From the 58 red packets, Lin Fan received a total of 102,020 yuan and one KM Mall. One KM Mall? Was his current location not KM Mall? In other words, he bought a bracelet and got a mall? KM Mall was located in the city center of Jiangbei. It was the most high-end shopping center in the whole of Jiangbei. Its market value was probably above one billion. It became his just like that? When Lin Fan raised his head, a stack of title deeds appeared in front of him. ¡°KM Mall¡­ Property owner, Lin Fan.¡± When Lin Fan saw this, his lips curled up. ¡­. Song Jiaxin¡¯s house was located at No. 6, Stars Villa, which was not far from KM Mall. Stars Villa was full of flowers and trees, like a big park with pleasant scenery. Villa No. 6 was located inside Stars Villa, close to the most famous lake in Jiangbei¡ªTianhu. Villa No. 6¡­ Sitting in the 500-square-meter front yard, one could enjoy the peace and fragrance of the trees and flowers. When one opened the window, one could see the sparkling surface of the lake, which was very enjoyable. When Lin Fan arrived at Villa No. 6, Sun Luguo, Liu Yuhang, and the others were already chatting in the backyard. When they saw Lin Fan, they all came over and greeted him. ¡°Lin Fan, long time no see,¡± Sun Luguo said with a smile. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯ve finally come!¡± Liu Yuhang put his arm around Lin Fan¡¯s shoulder. Some of the people who did not know who Lin Fan was had suspicious looks on their faces as they asked the people around them in low voices. They were very clear on Sun Luguo¡¯s and Liu Yuhang¡¯s identities. For Sun Luguo to take the initiative to greet him and for Liu Yuhang to affectionately call him ¡®Brother Lin Fan,¡¯ it was clear that he had a big background. However, Jiangbei was only so big. By right, they should know such a person. However, they seemed to have never seen him before, which was very strange. In fact, when Sun Luguo heard Liu Yuhang call him ¡®Brother Lin Fan,¡¯ he was also surprised. Liu Yuhang was a big shot, and he was actually a very proud person. Even though Lin Fan had indeed beaten the two of them in the previous race¡­ Liu Yuhang would not call him ¡®Brother Lin Fan¡¯ just because of that. Liu Yuhang naturally would not explain that Lin Fan had a close relationship with the old man from the Zhou family. He had even saved his life. Calling him ¡®Brother Lin Fan¡¯ was a sign of sincere admiration! Lin Fan also smiled and greeted them, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you guys to come so early.¡± Liu Yuhang waved his hand. ¡°Not at all. We¡¯ve only been here for a short while.¡± Then, he said in an extremely solemn tone, ¡°This is Lin Fan, Brother Lin Fan!¡± The few people who were introduced did not dare to show any neglect. They extended their hands and said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, how are you?¡± ¡°Hello,¡± Lin Fan said. At this time, a series of crisp footsteps came from not far away. Today¡¯s main character, Song Jiaxin, had finally appeared. It was different from usual¡­ At this moment, Song Jiaxin¡¯s hair was tied up high, and on her fair face, there was an exquisite touch of makeup, making her look more dignified. A white dress with diamond embellishments wrapped around her body like clouds. With the star-like gems on her neck, she looked like a fairy walking in the sky. She was beautiful and mesmerizing. At this moment, everyone could not help but think that she was so beautiful! Chapter 72 - 72 Lets Have a Round; Lin Fans Secrets 72 Let¡¯s Have a Round; Lin Fan¡¯s Secrets Looking at Song Jiaxin, who was walking over slowly, even Lin Fan was a little stunned. It was as if this was the first time a fairy had descended to the mortal world. Lin Fan could not help but use his Eyes of Truth to observe Song Jiaxin. [Face value: 97] [Favorability: 75] Lin Fan clearly remembered that the first time he met Song Jiaxin, her face value was 95, and her favorability was 60. Now, after dressing up, her face value had directly increased to 97. One could not be fooled by a mere two points. However, that was an additional two points on top of her 95 points in good looks, which was very rare. Also, when did her favorability increase so much? At this moment, Song Jiaxin had already walked in front of everyone. ¡°Happy birthday, Big Sis Jiaxin,¡± a young man said. At the same time, he handed over a beautifully wrapped gift. ¡°Thank you,¡± she said. Song Jiaxin smiled and accepted it. After someone took the lead, everyone present also handed out their gifts. ¡°Happy birthday,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Thank you,¡± she said. Song Jiaxin maintained her smile. Then, three grills were carried up. Top-grade beef, meat skewers, Australian lobsters, sea cucumbers, abalones, and other ingredients were also served. The place was filled with a group of young people. They were chatting and barbecuing at the same time. They were all having a great time, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Liu Yuhang saw the chessboard in the backyard and said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, how about we play a game of chess?¡± The constant barbecue was starting to bore Lin Fan out. ¡°Sure,¡± he replied. The two of them quickly sat opposite each other and set up the chessboard. Liu Yuhang chuckled and said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, I lost to you in the race last time. Today, I¡¯m going to use chess to get back at you. I¡¯ll let you go first. What do you think?¡± ¡°You want me to go first?¡± Lin Fan asked curiously. After all, he now had Professional Chess Skills. Liu Yuhang wanted to compete with him? Was this not courting death? ¡°Brother Lin Fan, I¡¯m not looking down on you,¡± Liu Yuhang said. ¡°It¡¯s just that my skills are too good!¡± After he finished speaking, he fired the cannon. Lin Fan followed. The two of them continued to move the chess pieces on the board. Liu Yuhang¡¯s chess skills were quite good. He had the ability to predict every move Lin Fan made. Ordinary people might not be his match. However, the person he was facing now was Lin Fan. Not long after, Liu Yuhang¡¯s brows furrowed deeply. ¡°I lose,¡± he said helplessly. ¡°Liu Yuhang lost in chess?¡± someone said. ¡°No way? Didn¡¯t he win an award before?¡± the person beside him said. Sun Luguo¡¯s face revealed a hint of surprise. In the past, Liu Yuhang¡¯s chess skills were famous in the circle. In fact, he could be said to be invincible! There was a time when Liu Yuhang would often show off his chess skills in front of him. Just like this¡­ he lost? Liu Yuhang said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, your skills really surprised me! It seems like I really can¡¯t let this slide. Let¡¯s play another round.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head. The people around them had a look of realization on their faces. It turned out that Liu Yuhang had just given up. No wonder he lost. At this moment, the crowd was also a little interested. Some were holding their food and some were drinking red wine, but they stood aside quietly watching the two play chess. ¡°General!¡± ¡°General!¡± ¡°General, eat the carriage!¡± Lin Fan attacked a few times, and in the end, he ate Liu Yuhang¡¯s chess piece. Everyone was secretly amazed. As today¡¯s main character, Song Jiaxin¡¯s beautiful eyes also slightly wavered. As everyone¡¯s attention was focused on the chess game, a white-haired old man slowly walked over. Lin Fan continued to move the carriage, horse, and cannon. Very quickly, he said, ¡°General!¡± ¡°I lost,¡± Liu Yuhang said, sighing. The old man could not help but say, ¡°Young man, your skills are not bad!¡± ¡°Grandpa, when did you come over?¡± Song Jiaxin smiled as she held onto the old man¡¯s arm. ¡°Hello, Grandpa Song,¡± the crowd greeted. Song Wenming smiled and nodded at everyone as a form of greeting. ¡°I¡¯ve only been here for a while,¡± he said. Then, he smiled at Lin Fan, ¡°I rarely see a young man like you who has such skills in chess.¡± ¡°Grandpa Song, you¡¯re overpraising me. I only know a little bit,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Young man, you¡¯re too humble,¡± Song Wenming said. ¡°Are you interested in playing a game with me?¡± Liu Yuhang quickly stood up and gave up his seat. ¡°Grandpa Song, please,¡± Lin Fan said. After the player was changed to Song Wenming, everyone paid even more attention. They almost surrounded the entire chessboard. ¡°Eat the soldiers!¡± ¡°Fire the cannons!¡± ¡°Vault!¡± ¡°General!¡± In the courtyard, sounds could be heard from time to time. However, not long after, the sounds stopped. This time, Song Wenming paused for a long time. ¡°I lost,¡± he finally said. ¡°Grandpa Song, thanks for going easy on me,¡± Lin Fan said. Song Wenming smiled and shook his head. ¡°You¡¯re very careful with your moves. Your layout is also very clever. You should know how to play Go, right?¡± ¡°I know a little,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Is that so?¡± Song Wenming was a little surprised and said, ¡°Then let¡¯s play a game of Go.¡± As he spoke, Song Wenming turned the chessboard around. It was a Go board. ¡°Young man, you first.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan said. He did not hesitate. He picked up a black piece and placed it in the center. ¡°Huh? You¡¯re starting with Sky Origin?¡± Song Wenming was surprised. He thought for a moment and placed the white piece in the star position. Thud! Thud! Thud! The two of them went back and forth, continuously placing pieces, causing a rhythmic knocking sound to ring out in the backyard. Most ordinary people might have only seen Go on TV. In reality, they did not know the rules of go at all. In fact, they had never even touched Go before. However, everyone present belonged to the upper class circle of Jiangbei. They had received all kinds of training since they were young. Go was one of them. They might not be good at Go, but they still knew the basic rules. At the start, they could still follow the thought process of Lin Fan and Song Wenming. However, it did not take long for everyone¡¯s eyes to blur, and their minds gradually became a little dazed. This was a result of the huge difference in their Go skills. Thud! At this moment, Lin Fan placed another piece down. Song Wenming, on the other hand, did not make another move. After a long time, he sighed and said, ¡°I¡¯ve lost.¡± When everyone heard that, they looked at Lin Fan with even more surprise. Old Master Song was a famous Go expert! Song Jiaxin, on the other hand, was staring at Lin Fan with her beautiful eyes. She looked at Lin Fan¡¯s actions of holding and placing a piece. His focused expression made her a little stunned. When Lin Fan finally won, Song Jiaxin¡¯s heart started to beat even faster. He had good grades in mathematics and was good at driving. Now¡­ he was even so skilled at chess and Go. ¡®Lin Fan, just how many more secrets do you have?¡¯ Chapter 73 - 73 The Winners of the Mathematical Modeling Competition Are Announced; National Award! 73 The Winners of the Mathematical Modeling Competition Are Announced; National Award! ¡°Thank you, Grandpa Song,¡± Lin Fan said. When Song Wenming heard that, he could not help but reevaluate Lin Fan. At such a young age, it was already very good to have such superb chess skills. Moreover, he was so humble. It was really rare! ¡°Lil Lin, shall we play another round?¡± Song Wenming asked. From ¡®young man,¡¯ he became ¡®Lil Lin.¡¯ It was obvious that Song Wenming had already placed Lin Fan in a very high position in his heart. ¡°Why are you still playing Go? It¡¯s Jiaxin¡¯s birthday today. Why is everyone standing here and watching a game of Go?¡± A hoarse voice came from behind. Then, a white-haired old lady slowly walked out. ¡°Grandma!¡± Song Jiaxin stepped forward to help her up. ¡°My good granddaughter!¡± Huang Chunlan smiled. ¡°Grandma, it¡¯s still early. Let Grandpa play a few more rounds. It¡¯ll be fine¡­¡± Song Jiaxin said. Huang Chunlan said, ¡°What do you mean? If he wants to play Go, he can play it later.¡± Song Wenming also stood up and smiled. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s your birthday today. Lil Lin and I will play next time.¡± ¡°Mom, Dad, you¡¯re here too?¡± In the distance, a middle-aged couple walked over. They¡­ They were Song Jiaxin¡¯s parents. Everyone at the scene greeted them. ¡°Hello, Uncle!¡± ¡°Hello, Aunt!¡± The middle-aged couple also responded politely. ¡°Thank you for coming to Jiaxin¡¯s birthday party. I hope you guys have a good time.¡± With the addition of Song Jiaxin¡¯s parents and grandparents, the crowd became a little more restrained. They also felt this, so they did not stay for long. After finding an excuse, they left together. As expected, after Song Jiaxin¡¯s elders left, the atmosphere in the backyard became lively again. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, it¡¯s fine that you¡¯re good at racing, but I didn¡¯t expect you to be so good at chess and Go as well! I feel like kneeling down in front of you,¡± Liu Yuhang said. ¡°Really?¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Then kneel down. I won¡¯t mind.¡± When the surrounding people heard this, they broke into laughter, and the atmosphere was extremely joyous. After eating the cake, Lin Fan sat on the deck chair, facing the breeze and looking up at the bright stars. ¡°This villa is quite comfortable to live in.¡± Song Jiaxin walked over and said, ¡°With your ability, it should be easy for you to buy a villa here, right?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°A villa here should be around 100 to 200 million, right? That figure still makes me a little nervous.¡± Although Lin Fan owned Qiankun, 51% of Yinshan Group¡¯s shares, a building in Washing Palace, KM Mall, and many other assets¡­ However, these were all from the system and could only be used for dividends and rent collection. They could not be sold. Lin Fan¡¯s true capital was only a mere 140 million. With 140 million, it was barely enough to buy a villa here. Lin Fan did not want to spend all his money so quickly. Song Jiaxin laughed. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be short on money.¡± One had to know that Lin Fan had casually rejected a sports car worth 28 million yuan. Lin Fan smiled and touched his nose. The birthday party lasted until 11 PM. At this time, the school dormitory was already closed. Thus, Lin Fan came to Yi Ke City. It was nighttime. Lin Fan and Qiu Ziqian did not get any sleep. Huang Ling, who was in the room next door, was also sleepless. ¡­ The next day. After Lin Fan had his breakfast, he drove to Jiangbei University as usual. When Lin Fan arrived at the classroom, the counselor, Sun Yaodong, was already standing on the podium. After the bell rang, Sun Yaodong smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ve always thought that you were the best students in the school. It turns out that I have good taste! ¡°Next, I¡¯ll announce the provincial-level winners of the National Mathematical Modeling Competition! ¡°Zhao Yin, third prize of the provincial level.¡± ¡­ ¡°Song Yi, third prize of the provincial level.¡± ¡°Ma Zhong, second prize of the provincial level.¡± ¡­ When everyone heard their names, they all revealed a look of joy that was difficult to hide. Especially Song Yi, who almost jumped up in joy. Very quickly, Sun Yaodong finished reading out the names. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, both of us have tough lives.¡± Zheng Jinbao sighed. Sun Yaodong said, ¡°Next, I¡¯ll announce the list of winners of the National Mathematical Modeling Competition. ¡°Lin Fan!¡± Zheng Jinbao was speechless. It turned out that he was the only one with a bitter life. Sun Yaodong continued, ¡°Lin Fan is the only National Award winner in our class and also the only National Award winner in the entire Jiangbei University! Please give him a round of applause!¡± Sun Yaodong took the lead and started clapping. Immediately after, the entire classroom burst into lively applause. Song Jiaxin, who was sitting not too far away, could not help but look at Lin Fan with her bright eyes. As the two of them were sitting in the same row, she could only see Lin Fan¡¯s side when she turned her head. However, it was this one look that made Song Jiaxin¡¯s heart beat faster. Naturally, Lin Fan had no way of knowing this. At this moment, he felt a touch of joy in his heart. That was because a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! Complete the task and win a National Award in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition. You¡¯ve received five silver packets.] The mission was completed! Sun Yaodong continued, ¡°Lin Fan, you should get ready. You¡¯ll need to go to Jingbei in two days. You¡¯ll have to answer your oral defense on the spot to determine the level of the national award. Perform well and strive to bring back a Higher Education Cup! Hahaha!¡± Speaking up to this point, Sun Yaodong could not help but burst out laughing. It was as if he could already see the scene of Lin Fan bringing back the Higher Education Cup. However, he did not know that Lin Fan was not planning on going to Jingbei to defend his dissertation. Lin Fan had no interest in the National Award or the Higher Education Cup. Now that he had completed the mission, why make another trip to the capital? ¡®I¡¯m sorry! ¡®But I would rather sleep on my desk!¡¯ Chapter 74 ?74 Opening Ten Silver Packets; A Big Harvest! After Sun Yaodong left, Song Yi could not help but feel proud. ¡°Teacher Sun¡¯s judgment isn¡¯t bad. You can tell that my ability is outstanding with a single glance!¡± He paused and deliberately sighed. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I didn¡¯t perform well and only won the provincial third prize. Unlike Ma Zhong and Brother Lin Fan, who won the provincial second prize and the National Award.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t win any awards,¡± Zheng Jinbao pouted and said. Song Yi patted Zheng Jinbao¡¯s shoulder and said with a heavy heart, ¡°You¡¯re not bad yourself. You have two roommates who won provincial awards and one roommate who won a National Award.¡± Zheng Jinbao was speechless. ¡­ School ended earlier that day. After having lunch, Lin Fan lay down on his bed. Ding! Ding! The phone in his pocket vibrated slightly. 12:00 PM! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received eight yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 99 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 2,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,000 yuan.] This time, Lin Fan received a total of 30,225 yuan. Then, he turned his attention to the silver packets. He mumbled in his heart,¡¯ With the five silver packets I got for Yu Xuan¡¯s birthday, I have ten silver packets in total. Let¡¯s see what I can get from them.¡¯ ¡°Open!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 200,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a Double Skill Card.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 500,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Coiling Dragon Villa Complex.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained an energy shield.] ¡­ Lin Fan received 1.2 million yuan from the ten silver packets. Lin Fan was not too concerned about this small amount of money. He immediately set his sights on the Double Skill Card, the energy shield, and the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex. [Double Skill Card: able to double the ability of a specific skill within an hour. Possess more powerful skills and displays more charm.] Lin Fan nodded his head slightly. It could double the ability of a skill, which was undoubtedly a very good thing. The only pity was that he only had one hour. [Energy shield: it¡¯ll continuously absorb the energy in the world. When the host encounters danger, it¡¯ll automatically form a transparent protective shield to protect the host¡¯s safety.] Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. Even though Lin Fan had Violent Aesthetics and could fight against a hundred people at once, this world was still in the era of firearms and explosives. If by any chance he was ambushed one day, he would not be able to escape. Now, there was a certain guarantee. [Coiling Dragon Villa Complex: a villa complex located by Tianhu Lake in the center of Jiangbei city. The scenery is beautiful and suitable for living.] The moment Lin Fan saw this, he let out a weird expression. A villa area by the lake? He clearly remembered that there were two villa clusters by the lake. One was the cluster of Stars Villa where Song Jiaxin¡¯s family lived, and the other was the newly developed Coiling Dragon Villa cluster. Now, he had become the owner of the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex? When Lin Fan raised his head, he saw a bunch of keys and a stack of property certificates. Lin Fan slowly opened the title deed. [Coiling Dragon Villa No. 1, 3,200 square meters in area. Property owner: Lin Fan.] [Coiling Dragon Villa No. 2, 3,300 square meters in area. Property owner: Lin Fan.] ¡­ Ten villas, a total of ten villas, all of which belonged to Lin Fan! Lin Fan owned many properties such as Qiankun, Washington Palace, KM Mall, and so on. However, after seeing the stack of title deeds, he could not help but smile. ¡°The silver packets are really great,¡± he praised. ¡­ After school in the afternoon, Lin Fan walked straight to the parking lot. Since he had nothing to do at night, he planned to go to the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex to take a look at the houses he had just obtained. If it were a long-distance trip, Lin Fan would drive the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. That was because G-size cars were more waist-friendly. The Coiling Dragon Villa Complex was only 20 kilometers away from Jiangbei University. Therefore, Lin Fan chose to drive the Lamborghini. It was strong and fast. He stepped on the accelerator, and the car shot forward. ¡­ At this time, Han Tian had already arrived at the entrance of the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex. Han Tian smiled and said, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m the manager of Lianjia. I have a client who wants to buy villa No. 8, but the client is busy, so she asked me to take a few photos and send them to her. May I come in?¡± Some people thought that a real estate agent could get a large commission by just talking and signing a few contracts. In fact, they still needed to make a lot of preparations. Things like taking photos were just one of them. ¡°All the houses in our Coiling Dragon Villa Complex have been sold,¡± the security guard said apologetically. ¡°They¡¯re now private property. So, I can¡¯t let you take photos. I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°All sold?¡± Han Tian was slightly taken aback. As the manager of Lianjia, she knew about all the properties in Jiangbei. The Coling Dragon Villa Complex was a newly built super-luxury villa cluster, and each villa was worth at least 150 million yuan. In such a short time, they were all sold? ¡°Why didn¡¯t I hear about it?¡± Han Tian asked, confused. ¡°We were informed by our leader,¡± the security guard said. In fact, not only was Han Tian confused, but the security guard was also confused. In the past, some real estate companies would come to visit and take photos every day. As long as they had enough qualifications, the security guards would agree to let them in. However, this afternoon, the leader suddenly informed them that all the villas had been sold and that real estate agents and other people were prohibited from entering the villas. This shocked all the security guards. For Han Tian, it was not easy to meet a customer who was interested in buying a unit at Coiling Dragon Villa Complex. However, the villas had already been sold, and she had no other choice. She had no choice but to turn around. At this moment, light footsteps were heard from behind. Then, a familiar figure appeared in front of her. It was Lin Fan. Han Tian looked at Lin Fan¡¯s tall figure, his well-defined facial features, and his bright eyes. Her heart could not help but beat faster. Han Tian seemed to feel that she had been staring at Lin Fan for too long. Like a thief who had been discovered, she slowly lowered her head. Obviously, Lin Fan had also noticed Han Tian. He smiled and said, ¡°Manager Han, we meet again.¡± At this time, Han Tian also calmed down and smiled. ¡°Yup.¡± After a pause, she continued, ¡°Mr. Lin, do you want to buy a house in the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex? Unfortunately, the security guard said that all the houses here have already been sold. Of course, whether it¡¯s true or not, we¡¯ll have to investigate further to know.¡± After all, it was common for people to deliberately cover things up in the real estate industry. ¡°That¡¯s not it. I¡¯m just here to take a look at my houses,¡± Lin Fan said. As he spoke, he handed a stack of property ownership certificates to the security guard and said, ¡°Can I go in?¡± The security guard took a quick look, bowed, and showed the most respectful smile, saying, ¡°Welcome home, Mr. Lin.¡± Han Tian was completely stunned. What did she just see? It turned out that Coiling Dragon Villa Complex had really been sold! The buyer was Lin Fan! ¡°Manager Han, do you want to come in and take a look?¡± Lin Fan asked. Chapter 75 - 75 Bought Ten Villas; Embarrassing! 75 Bought Ten Villas; Embarrassing! Han Tian knew that Lin Fan was super rich. The last time she took him to see the flat in Yi Ke City, he paid the full amount on the spot. However, this was Coiling Dragon Villa Complex! Moreover, it was the entire Coiling Dragon Villa Complex! How much would that cost? One billion? Two billion? Lin Fan saw that Han Tian was still standing there in a daze, so he could not help but say, ¡°Manager Han, do you want to come in and take a look?¡± At this moment, Han Tian finally came back to her senses and stammered, ¡°Ah¡­ Ah¡­ Alright, alright.¡± After entering the gate, they could see colorful flowers, green trees, and clear water. When a cool breeze blew from afar, they felt refreshed and comfortable. Lin Fan could not help but nod his head. It was obvious that he was quite satisfied with the environment. Then, Lin Fan walked toward Villa No. 10, which was the outermost villa. The front yard was about 600 square meters in size. There was a green grass field, some fruit trees, and a wide swimming pool. The overall decoration style of Villa No. 10 leaned toward European and American styles, making people feel like they were in a fairy tale castle. Lin Fan walked around each villa before heading out. Overall, the environment of the villas was very good. There were various styles of decoration, and Lin Fan was quite satisfied. ¡­ The boss of Qiao Shiya¡¯s company had organized a group of employees to go to Tianhu to play and take photos in order to promote their corporate culture. The employees were only allowed to move around freely after taking a few photos. Qiao Shiya strolled along Tianhu Lake. When she arrived at the entrance of Coiling Dragon Villa Complex, she exclaimed in admiration, ¡°The villas here are so beautiful!¡± A colleague who was on good terms with her said, ¡°Of course! Any one of the villas in Coiling Dragon Villa is worth hundreds of millions!¡± ¡°Hiss!¡± Qiao Shiya could not help but gasp when she heard that. A villa worth hundreds of millions? ¡°If I can have a house like this in my lifetime, I¡¯ll die with no regrets,¡± Qiao Shiya could not help but say. Her colleague laughed and said, ¡°Have a house here? I don¡¯t dare to think about it. I¡¯ll be satisfied if I can go in and take a look.¡± At this moment, Lin Fan finally finished looking at the villas and walked out. When the security guard saw this, he stood at the side respectfully from a distance. ¡°Goodbye, Mr. Lin.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head as a form of greeting. Qiao Shiya happened to see this scene. She glanced at the bunch of keys and the property ownership certificates in Lin Fan¡¯s hands. A look of disdain appeared on her face. Last time, he said that he owned an entire building in Washington Palace. Why did he bring so many keys and property ownership certificates to Coiling Dragon Villa Complex now? He was clearly just a real estate agent! He was just bragging! Qiao Shiya saw Lin Fan slowly walking toward her. She asked coldly, ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Lin Fan could not help but frown. He was disgusted by Qiao Shiya¡¯s arrogant attitude. He said indifferently, ¡°This road doesn¡¯t seem to belong to your family, right?¡± When the colleague beside Qiao Shiya saw that Qiao Shiya knew Lin Fan, she could not help but be interested and said, ¡°You¡¯re probably a salesman for Coiling Dragon Villa, right? Can you take us in to have a look?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not a salesman.¡± Lin Fan shook his head. ¡°Then how did you get in just now?¡± the colleague asked. ¡°Because I own Coiling Dragon Villa,¡± Lin Fan said. The colleague was stunned for a moment. Qiao Shiya¡¯s pretty face flushed red. How embarrassing! It was too embarrassing! She had just greeted Lin Fan but he said such big words. He said that he owned Coiling Dragon Villa? How did she get to know such a big bragger? How would her colleague view her now? When Qiao Shiya thought of this, she said angrily, ¡°Lin Fan, can¡¯t you be more honest? ¡°You¡¯re clearly a property agent! ¡°First, you rented a car for a blind date, then you said that you have a house in Washington Palace, and now you¡¯re saying that Coiling Dragon Villa is all yours¡­ Do you think anyone will believe you? ¡°Don¡¯t you know that this will only make you more embarrassed?¡± After she finished speaking, she held her colleague¡¯s hand and quickly walked away. When she passed by the parking lot, she vaguely saw a supercar. However, at this time, she was in a fit of anger and was not in the mood to look carefully. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with her?¡± Lin Fan pouted. Han Tian, who was beside him, asked, ¡°You rented a car for a blind date? Mr. Lin, did you go on blind dates with her before?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan replied. ¡°She probably thinks that I¡¯m a poor loser and that my Lamborghini is rented.¡± When Han Tian heard this, she was both jealous and angry. She was jealous that Qiao Shiya had the chance to go on a blind date with Lin Fan. Why could it not be her? She was furious that Qiao Shiya had rejected Lin Fan! Lin Fan was so perfect! No wonder back at Lianjia, she kept on mocking Lin Fan. How despicable! ¡°She¡¯ll regret it!¡± Han Tian said seriously. Lin Fan shook his head and did not take this matter to heart. She was just a self-righteous woman. It would only be a waste of his energy to take her too seriously. ¡­ After Lin Fan and Han Tian parted ways, he went to the furniture store in KM Mall. Although Coiling Dragon Villa had been renovated and the villas were furnished, it did not suit Lin Fan¡¯s taste. After spending three million to buy some sofas and beds, he drove the Lamborghini and headed straight back to Coiling Dragon Villa. At this moment, Song Jiaxin was driving her Ferrari home. At that moment, she saw a Lamborghini driving over from a distance. ¡°LF666?Huh, isn¡¯t that Lin Fan¡¯s car?¡± Song Jiaxin was a little surprised. In her mind, Lin Fan¡¯s handsome face appeared, and her heart could not help but beat faster. Almost instinctively, she turned around and headed toward Lin Fan. The two of them quickly arrived at the front door of Coiling Dragon Villa. Song Jiaxin asked, ¡°Lin Fan, what are you doing here? Are you planning to buy a house here?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already bought it,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Oh? Which one? We¡¯re considered neighbors now, so we can see each other more often in the future,¡± Song Jiaxin said happily. ¡°I haven¡¯t decided which one to live in yet,¡± Lin Fan said. Lin Fan was not lying. Today, he visited all ten villas. Villa No. 1, Villa No. 6, and Villa No. 8 were all very close to Tianhu Lake. He could see the beautiful lake when he opened the windows. Villa No. 1 was decorated in an ancient style, Villa No. 6 was decorated in a modern style, and Villa No. 8 was decorated in European and American styles. Lin Fan really had not thought about which villa to stay in. However, these words made Song Jiaxin even more suspicious. Did Lin Fan not just say that he had already bought a villa? Why did he say that he did not know which one he was staying in? It was obvious that Lin Fan had noticed the change in Song Jiaxin¡¯s expression. He explained, ¡°I bought the entire Coiling Dragon Villa Complex, so I have a total of ten¡­ Right now, I¡¯m choosing between Villa No. 1, Villa No. 6, or Villa. No. 8 to stay in.¡± Song Jiaxin was speechless. Chapter 76 ?76 The Happy Professor Zhang; Aren¡¯t You Guys Going to Persuade Him? Even though the Song family was a powerful family in Jiangbei¡­ and they were ranked at the top even in the Jiang Province¡­ After all, this involved one to two billion yuan. ¡°This is what you meant by a little tight on funds?¡± Song Jiaxin asked curiously. Who would spend one or two billion to buy houses? Lin Fan could only laugh it off. What could he say? Could he possibly tell her that he got the houses from a silver packet? She would not believe it even if he said it! After Lin Fan asked the furniture company to place the sofas and beds in the villa, he did not move in immediately. It was too empty and lonely for a person to live in such a villa alone. After Lin Fan and Song Jiaxin parted ways, he went to Yi Ke City. Huang Ling had flown to another city and would only be back the day after tomorrow. Only Lin Fan and Qiu Ziqian were in the entire house, so they were even more unscrupulous. One had to admit that Lin Fan was very capable. Even though he had done it for two nights straight, he was still full of energy. That night, the big bed was like a music box that sang the whole night. ¡­ The next day. Jiangbei University. The counselor, Sun Yaodong, was humming a tune in the corridor, swaying as he walked. He was obviously in a good mood. When Sun Yaodong met a middle-aged professor, he said proudly, ¡°Old Fang, what did I say? Didn¡¯t my students get a few provincial awards? ¡°One even got the National Award! ¡°In two days, Lin Fan will go to Jingbei for his dissertation. He might even be able to win the Higher Education Cup!¡± Since yesterday, Sun Yaodong had been saying similar things. The middle-aged professor had no way of refuting that. It was because a student really did win the National Award. At that moment, Lin Fan walked over. Sun Yaodong¡¯s eyes lit up. No matter how he looked at Lin Fan, he found him pleasing to the eye. ¡°Lin Fan, are you going to the Mathematics Department¡¯s office?¡± Sun Yaodong asked. ¡°Yes, Professor Zhang asked me to go over,¡± Lin Fan said. Sun Yaodong nodded and said, ¡°He¡¯ll probably discuss the Jingbei oral defense with you. Your ability is outstanding, so make good use of this opportunity. Our class¡¯ honor depends on you!¡± Lin Fan¡¯s lips twitched when he heard this. He clearly remembered that Counselor Sun had said almost the same thing to him the last time. Then, he convinced him to sign up for the National Mathematical Modeling Competition. He was saying such things again? Unfortunately, he was going to be disappointed this time. Lin Fan laughed noncommittally. Then, he walked to the Mathematics Department¡¯s office. At this time, Zhang Yong was sitting in his office, drinking tea and reading newspapers. The moment he caught sight of Lin Fan, his murky eyes lit up with a bright light. ¡°Lin Fan, come and sit down. Have some tea first.¡± Even though Zhang Yong had not given Lin Fan any training, no matter what, Lin Fan won the National Mathematical Modeling Competition. This was also beneficial to him. ¡°Thank you, Professor Zhang,¡± Lin Fan said. After drinking a mouthful of tea, there was a hint of sweetness in the bitterness, just like the taste of life. Zhang Yong said, ¡°Generally speaking, the list of winners for the National Award and even the Higher Education Cup has already been announced. They chose the model and thesis you submitted. ¡°The reason why I¡¯m letting you guys go to Jingbei to defend your dissertation is to check if you guys completed it on your own. ¡°Professor Zhang, I¡¯m not planning to go to Jingbei,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Oh.¡± Zhang Yong nodded with a smile, but the next moment, his whole body froze. ¡°You¡­ What did you just say? You¡¯re not going to the capital?¡± Zhang Yong¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m not,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Why? You¡¯re very talented. If you win the first prize in the country or even the Higher Education Cup, the school will give you a large scholarship. ¡°Also, this will be very beneficial for your research and even your work in the future!¡± Zhang Yong said. High scholarship? Was it even one million? Even with a one million yuan scholarship, it was only Lin Fan¡¯s income for a day¡¯s sleep. Postgraduate recommendation? He had come to Jiangbei University to experience college life. As for work? Lin Fan did not care about that at all. ¡°Those are useless to me. I still don¡¯t want to go to Jingbei,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°What¡­¡± Zhang Yong was a little anxious and paced back and forth in the office. ¡°Lin Fan, this is a really good opportunity. The school will pay for all your travel expenses. Just treat it as a two-day trip to Jingbei. Isn¡¯t that great? ¡°If you don¡¯t go now, you¡¯ll definitely regret it in the future!¡± However, no matter what, Lin Fan remained unmoved. At this moment, Zhang Yong suddenly thought of the first time they met. It was the scene of Lin Fan hugging Xia Bing and Xia Xue. He continued, ¡°The National Mathematical Modeling Competition is a team competition. Even if you don¡¯t want to go to Jingbei and even if you don¡¯t care about the honor and trophies, you have to consider your teammates, Xia Bing and Xia Xue. ¡°They really need these!¡± The moment he said that, Lin Fan could not help but hesitate. Xia Bing and Xia Xue were only ordinary students, but their computer skills were outstanding. Moreover, they even signed up for the National Mathematical Modeling Competition. Perhaps, they really needed the certificate and trophy? Zhang Yong was delighted to see that his words seemed to have worked. He was prepared to be a little more ruthless with his methods. Thus, he picked up his phone and dialed the phone number of a lecturer from the School of Computer Science. After a while, Xia Bing and Xia Xue slowly walked in. When they saw Lin Fan, their pretty faces immediately revealed sweet smiles. Zhang Yong cleared his throat and said, ¡°Lin Fan just said that he doesn¡¯t want to go to Jingbei to participate in the oral defense. Xia Bing, Xia Xue, you guys should quickly persuade him.¡± After he finished speaking, his face was like Xia Bing and Xia Xue¡¯s, revealing a smile. ¡°Then we won¡¯t go either,¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue said in unison. Their answers were so decisive without the slightest hesitation. ¡°Huh?¡± Zhang Yong was stunned again. What was going on? This situation was completely different from what he had imagined. ¡°You guys won¡¯t go? Aren¡¯t you going to persuade him?¡± Zhang Yong hurriedly said, ¡°Xia Bing, Xia Xue, you might not know this yet. If you go to Jingbei to do your oral defense, you might win the second or first prize of the country or even the Higher Education Cup! ¡°But if you don¡¯t go, you can only win the third prize.¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue said, ¡°Okay. We won¡¯t go.¡± Okay? They would not go? Was this reasonable? Zhang Yong was speechless. He did not know how important Lin Fan was to Xia Bing and Xia Xue. There was no need to talk about the national second prize and first prize or even the Higher Education Cup. Even the entire world could not compare to Lin Fan! Chapter 77 - 77 If He Doesnt Want to Go, Then Forget It 77 If He Doesn¡¯t Want to Go, Then Forget It Zhang Yong tried to persuade them for a while, but it was useless. In the end, he had no choice but to give up. He also told Lin Fan, Xia Bing, and Xia Xue to go back and think about it. Zhang Yong thought for a while and walked toward the counselor¡¯s office. He wanted Sun Yaodong to help persuade them. It was not easy for someone from Jiangbei University to win a National Award in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition. Zhang Yong did not want to give up the opportunity to go further. Sun Yaodong, who was drinking tea, stood up when he saw Zhang Yong. ¡°Professor Zhang, you¡¯re here because Lin Fan will be going to Jingbei, right? I¡¯ll definitely approve his leave!¡± Now, as long as Sun Yaodong mentioned Lin Fan, his face would be filled with smiles. He had really made a name for himself! A National Award! That was the only National Award of Jiangbei University! ¡°Lin Fan doesn¡¯t want to go to Jingbei,¡± Zhang Yong said. ¡°Huh?¡± As if a fishbone was stuck in Sun Yaodong¡¯s throat, his voice suddenly stopped. ¡­ At this time, Zheng Jinbao was blocked by two people outside the corridor. ¡°Zheng Jinbao, didn¡¯t you say that designing a drainage system is the simplest? What¡¯s going on now? We didn¡¯t even get the provincial third prize! I¡¯ve asked a lot of people, and as long as they chose the drainage system, none of them won the award!¡± a man of medium build complained. ¡°My goal this year was to be second in the province!¡± the short man said. The two of them were considered top students. They placed great importance on this National Mathematical Modeling Competition. However, the result was not what they had expected. Zheng Jinbao could not help but feel a little guilty when he was interrogated by them. He looked around and saw Lin Fan, who had just returned from Zhang Yong¡¯s place. His squinted eyes immediately widened as he said, ¡°That¡¯s because those who chose the drainage system aren¡¯t good enough!¡± Then, he walked in front of Lin Fan and said, ¡°This is my roommate, Lin Fan! He won the National Mathematical Modeling Award! He¡¯ll be going to Jingbei for an oral defense soon, and he might even come back with a Higher Education Cup! ¡°Do you know which question Brother Lin Fan chose? ¡°The drainage system!¡± Zheng Jinbao answered his own question. Of course, the medium build and short man knew that Lin Fan had won a National Award. This matter had long been spread. However, they had no idea which question Lin Fan had chosen. Zheng Jinbao said in the tone of an elder, ¡°Don¡¯t look for the reason in others whenever there¡¯s a problem. You should reflect more on yourselves.¡± The two of them could not help but lower their heads and walk away. Zheng Jinbao placed his hand on Lin Fan¡¯s shoulder and smiled. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, thank you for your help! ¡°Oh right, Brother Lin Fan, when are you going to the capital?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Huh?¡± Zheng Jinbao squinted his eyes and blinked twice. He was a little stunned. At this time, Sun Yaodong ran over in a hurry. ¡°Lin Fan, how can you not go to Jingbei to defend your dissertation? This is a very good opportunity! Your ability is outstanding. The honor of our class depends on you!¡± Sun Yaodong said. These words again? This time around, Lin Fan was not the only one who was speechless. Zheng Jinbao was also speechless. Sun Yaodong only knew how to spout such things to deceive people? Sun Yaodong did not realize this and was about to say something. At this moment, the bell rang in the school. ¡°Class is starting,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Counselor Sun, I¡¯ll go in first.¡± ¡°Hey, you¡­ You should think about it again,¡± Sun Yaodong said. In the back row. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, are you really not going to the capital to defend your dissertation?¡± Zheng Jinbao could not help but ask. ¡°You¡¯re not going to Jingbei for your oral defense?¡± Ma Zhong was surprised. ¡°Why?¡± Obviously, he knew the rules of the National Mathematical Modeling Competition. Lin Fan yawned and said, ¡°Do you guys have to be so excited? Why do I have to go to Jingbei? ¡°Instead of going so far to answer some questions, why don¡¯t I just sleep?¡± What¡­ That was the selection for a National Award! Countless people dreamed of going there. Lin Fan¡­ He actually said that it was better to sleep? Ma Zhong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the old professor had already walked in with a textbook. Lin Fan listened to the old professor¡¯s lullaby-like lecture and quickly fell asleep. When Lin Fan woke up, it was mealtime. After having a leisurely lunch, he returned to the dormitory and prepared to sleep again. At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated. 12:00 PM! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 300 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] Lin Fan received a total of 40,500 yuan from the red packets today. He glanced at the red packets that he had received after spending three million yuan on the furniture yesterday. He muttered in his heart, ¡®300 red packets? I¡¯ll wait a little longer. I¡¯ll gather 1,000 of them and open them together.¡¯ Then, he put his phone aside and fell asleep again. ¡­ At the same time, in the big conference room of Jiangbei University. The professors and deans of the Mathematics Department were all gathered together. They discussed in low voices. They were all puzzled as to why they were suddenly informed of a meeting. As time went by, it was not only the members of the Mathematics Department who came but the members of other departments too¡­ Even the school leaders had arrived. This made everyone even more confused. It was rare for Jiangbei University to hold such a large-scale meeting, especially since the meeting was hosted by the Mathematics Department. The dean of the School of Mathematics, Hu Chuan, was sitting at the head of the table. He took a sip of tea leisurely and looked at Zhang Yong, who was sitting not far away. He seemed to be a little worried and smiled. ¡°Professor Zhang, why do you look like you have something on your mind?¡± ¡°Dean Hu.¡± Zhang Yong sighed. ¡°You should know that the students from Jiangbei University won a National Award in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition this year. Hu Chuan nodded and said, ¡°I know about that. It¡¯s Lin Fan¡¯s team, right? That¡¯s a good thing. Why do you look so unhappy?¡± ¡°Lin Fan doesn¡¯t want to go to Jingbei to take part in the oral defense for the National Award¡­¡± ¡°Huh? Why not? What a great opportunity this is!¡± ¡°Does that child not know what an oral defense means?¡± ¡°I have to persuade him!¡± ¡°Does he have any difficulties?¡± The surrounding professors and leaders were all surprised and asked one after another. Zhang Yong said, ¡°I¡¯ve said everything I needed to say, but ¡­ Lin Fan doesn¡¯t seem to be interested at all.¡± Hu Chuan, who was sitting at the head, thought for a while and said, ¡°Since he doesn¡¯t want to go, then let¡¯s forget it.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Zhang Yong¡¯s mouth was half-open, and his face was full of confusion. Hu Chuan continued, ¡°I was already very surprised that Lin Fan participated in the mathematical modeling competition. At that time, I thought that he was probably just playing around. ¡°If we let Lin Fan do the oral defense, it would be the same as letting him bully others. It¡¯s normal for Lin Fan to choose not to go.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Zhang Yong¡¯s mouth was wide open, and he was even more confused. Chapter 78 - 78 Not Interested! 78 Not Interested! Lin Fan¡¯s participation in the mathematical modeling competition was a surprise? He did it just for fun? Lin Fan going to defend his thesis was bullying? The dean of the School of Mathematics, Hu Chuan, said a few words in a row that completely confused Zhang Yong. ¡®This¡­¡¯ What was going on? However, Hu Chuan was not prepared to explain any further. Shen Liang, the chancellor of Jiangbei University, walked over. Hu Chuan quickly went up to welcome him and invited Shen Liang to sit at the main seat. However, Shen Liang said, ¡°Today is a big event for your Mathematics Department. You should be the one leading. So, it¡¯s most suitable for you to take the main seat.¡± After Hu Chuan gave way for a while, he still sat on the seat as instructed. Then, he looked out of the door from time to time as if he was waiting for someone, but there was no trace of that person. ¡°Director Hu, when is the meeting starting?¡± a professor asked impatiently. ¡°I still have a lot of things to deal with.¡± ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m still waiting to start a project.¡± ¡­ Hu Chuan saw that more and more people were dissatisfied. Finally, he cleared his throat and said, ¡°Then let¡¯s talk about something first. ¡°Many people might not know this, but not long ago, someone from our school solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture.¡± As soon as he said that, the professors who were still grumbling immediately stopped. Then, the entire conference room was in an uproar. Some of them might not be teachers or leaders of the mathematics major. However, they knew what was Zhou¡¯s Conjecture. If one could solve it, it would be a huge step forward for the entire mathematics world! This big step was actually pushed by Jiangbei University! How could they not be excited? ¡°Dean Hu, which professor solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture?¡± ¡°May I ask if you were the one who solved it?¡± ¡°Has the answer passed the review?¡± ¡­ A series of questions shot out like cannonballs. The professors, who had always been modest and gentlemanly, were now like believers who had suddenly heard the will of God and could not help shouting. Hu Chuan said, ¡°When Zhou¡¯s Conjecture was solved, a few professors and I jointly checked it. Then, we compiled it into a paper and submitted it to the Mathematics Journal. ¡°Today, the Mathematics Journal replied to the email. The answer is correct! ¡°At the same time, the World Mathematics Organization also sent us an invitation. They hope that the people who solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture can go to Poston and hold a large-scale report!¡± When Hu Chuan said this, there was a hint of unconcealable excitement in his tone. Poston was undoubtedly one of the holy lands of mathematics. Countless mathematicians would be proud to host a report in Poston. The large-scale report was the most high-level report! To anyone, this was an absolute honor, a supreme honor! ¡°A large-scale report in Poston?¡± ¡°Oh my God!¡± ¡°Dean Hu, quickly tell us, who¡¯s the person who solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture?¡± ¡­ Hu Chuan said, ¡°The person who solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture is¡­ Lin Fan!¡± Whoosh! The moment he said that, there was an uproar. Zhang Yong¡¯s eyes were wide open, and he was completely stunned. What did he just hear? Lin Fan solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture? That young undergraduate student? At this moment, Zhang Yong finally understood why Hu Chuan had said that Lin Fan¡¯s participation in the mathematical modeling competition was just for fun. He finally understood how Lin Fan would be bullying others by participating in the oral defense. For someone who solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture to participate in the mathematical modeling competition was like a high school student taking a kindergarten exam! If this was not bullying, what was? Hu Chuan continued, ¡°The main purpose of today¡¯s meeting is to make preparations for this report. It¡¯s to promote Zhou¡¯s Conjecture. ¡°It¡¯s best to wait for Lin Fan to come over and discuss all of this¡­¡± He then looked at the time and said, ¡°Lin Fan might have been delayed by something. Everyone, please wait a moment. I¡¯ll give him a call to ask.¡± After saying that, Hu Chuan walked to the side and made a call. At that moment, Lin Fan was sleeping and was a little dazed. He picked up the call. ¡°Lin Fan, did you receive the news I sent you about the meeting this morning?¡± Hu Chuan said. ¡°A meeting? What kind of meeting?¡± Lin Fan said in a daze. ¡°You solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture. The World Mathematics Organization has invited you to go to Poston and organize a large-scale report!¡± Hu Chuan said. He had already said that earlier. Even though he was just repeating it, he could not help but feel excited. ¡°Host a report at Poston? I¡¯m not going.¡± After Lin Fan finished speaking, he hung up the phone and went back to dreamland. It was not because Lin Fan was still in a daze. Even if he was awake, Lin Fan would still give the same answer. Go to Poston to host a report? In Lin Fan¡¯s heart, this could not even compare to going to Jingbei for the oral defense! That was because Poston was farther away than the capital! Moreover, he had to face a bunch of questions from foreigners. He¡­ He was not interested at all. After the call was hung up, Hu Chuan was stunned for a few seconds. It was obvious that he had not reacted to Lin Fan¡¯s answer. After a while, Hu Chuan picked up his phone and dialed Lin Fan¡¯s number again. He was prepared to explain the situation. However, the only response Hu Chuan got was that Lin Fan¡¯s phone was switched off. Hu Chuan was at a loss as he walked toward his seat. ¡°Director Hu, is Lin Fan here?¡± a professor asked in a hurry. He could not wait to see the person who solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture. ¡°He¡¯s not going to Poston for the report,¡± Hu Chuan said, stunned. Silence! The entire conference room suddenly fell silent. Everyone¡¯s face was filled with disbelief. This was even more shocking than hearing that someone had solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture! Chapter 79 ?79 Come To Jiangbei if You Want to Listen to the Report Hosting a report at Poston was the dream stage for almost every mathematician. However¡­ Lin Fan actually refused to go? After a long while, someone stammered, ¡°Lin¡­ Lin Fan is still young. Maybe he doesn¡¯t even know the significance of hosting a report at Poston, which is why he rejected it.¡± Everyone in the meeting room nodded in agreement. Chancellor Shen Liang said, ¡°Dean Hu, you can explain to Lin Fan about the Poston report in detail later. If Lin Fan knows the meaning and benefits of the Poston report, I think¡­ he¡¯d agree to go.¡± Zhang Yong, who was sitting next to him, opened his mouth. He really wanted to say that Lin Fan would not agree! That was because not long ago, Zhang Yong had said something similar to Lin Fan. It was just that the Jingbei oral defense was now changed to the Poston report. Without the protagonist, the impromptu meeting was left unsettled. Then, Hu Chuan personally rushed to dormitory 104. When Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, Ma Zhong, and the others saw Hu Chuan, their eyes all widened. He was the dean of the Mathematics Department! They could only see Hu Chuan during the opening ceremony and some important meetings. At this moment, he had actually come to their dormitory! Hu Chuan said, ¡°Lin Fan, I might not have made myself clear just now. The World Mathematics Organization would like to invite you to Poston to host a large-scale report. ¡°A large-scale report, the highest level of all the reports! ¡°At that time, you¡¯ll show the detailed solution to Zhou¡¯s Conjecture to almost all famous mathematicians in the world! ¡°Currently, there are less than ten people from HUa Nation who have held large-scale reports in Poston!¡± When Hu Chuan said this, he could not help but raise his voice. He was excited! That expression¡­ It was as though he was the one going to Poston for a large-scale report. However¡­ Lin Fan just yawned and said, ¡°Oh, but I don¡¯t want to go to Poston.¡± These words were like a basin of cold water that was poured over Hu Chuan¡¯s head. Ma Zhong, Song Yi, and Zheng Jinbao were also extremely surprised. ¡®Didn¡¯t you hear Hu Chuan say that less than ten people in Hua Nation have ever held such a report?¡¯ This meant that the moment Lin Fan headed to Poston, he would become one of the 10! He would be one of the top ten most awesome people! However, Lin Fan actually rejected it? Hu Chuan was extremely anxious and began to persuade him again. Finally, Lin Fan said, ¡°If they really want to listen to the report, then they should come to Jiangbei. I¡¯ll host it here. If they don¡¯t want to come, then forget it.¡± Hu Chuan felt helpless. He really wanted to continue persuading Lin Fan. However, after he said this, Lin Fan walked out. At this moment, Hu Chuan¡¯s phone rang with a light ringtone. It was the chancellor, Shen Liang. ¡°Did Lin Fan agree to go to Poston for the report?¡± Shen Liang asked. After all, it represented the honor of Jiangbei University. ¡°Lin Fan doesn¡¯t want to go.¡± Hu Chuan sighed. ¡°But he said that if they want to listen to the report, they can come to Jiangbei.¡± There was a moment of silence on the phone. After a while, Shen Liang said, ¡°Let¡¯s reply to the World Mathematics Organization about Lin Fan¡¯s idea first. If they agree, it might not be a bad thing for us.¡± However, how difficult would it be to get so many mathematicians to come to Jiangbei? ¡°I¡¯ll try to contact the World Mathematics Organization,¡± Hu Chuan said. ¡­ Lin Fan seemed to be a little annoyed by Jiangbei University¡¯s aggressive persuasion. He got into his Lamborghini and headed toward Yi Ke City. At this moment, in Yi Ke City, Room 2501. Huang Ling¡¯s beautiful eyes were red, and tears kept falling. Huang Ling was supposed to fly to Japan today. However, in the VIP lounge, a Japanese man who was eating ice cream accidentally bumped into her. This was not Huang Ling¡¯s responsibility. As an air stewardess, she apologized profusely and carefully cleaned the other party¡¯s clothes. At that time, the Japanese man was all smiles and expressed their understanding. However, after Huang Ling left, the Japanese went to the airline¡¯s leader and complained about her. The leader did not distinguish between right and wrong and severely criticized Huang Ling. Then, in order to satisfy the Japanese, the leader canceled Huang Ling¡¯s flight work and deducted 10% of her bonus this month. Qiu Ziqian gently patted Huang Ling¡¯s back and said, ¡°That Japanese man is so sinister! Huang Ling, calm down first. ¡°Huang Ling, why don¡¯t you resign as well?¡± she added after a pause. ¡°Resign?¡± Huang Ling seemed to have thought of something, and her entire face blushed. Qiu Ziqian nodded. ¡°I can see that you have feelings for Lin Fan. ¡°Women want to get married in order to live a happy life. ¡°Perhaps in the future, you¡¯ll find someone who likes you very much and is very motivated. ¡°One day, he¡¯ll also have enough money to make you happy. However, before that time comes, I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll already be old and frail. Can you guarantee that the man won¡¯t look for anyone else¡­¡± Qiu Ziqian held Huang Ling¡¯s hand and spoke for a long time. ¡°Huang Ling, what do you think?¡± she asked. Huang Ling bit her lower lip. After hesitating for a long time, she finally nodded her head. Creak! Creak! At this moment, the door was pushed open. Lin Fan walked in. Huang Ling, Qiu Ziqian, and Lin Fan looked at each other. As if she had done something bad, Huang Ling¡¯s face instantly turned red. Qiu Ziqian did not care about that. She pulled Huang Ling along and walked toward Lin Fan. She placed Huang Ling¡¯s hand into Lin Fan¡¯s. It was nighttime. Chapter 80 - 80 A Phone Call From Yan City; Qiu Ziqian Is Sobbing 80 A Phone Call From Yan City; Qiu Ziqian Is Sobbing The next day. On the white bed, there was a touch of red. As usual, Qiu Ziqian got up early and prepared a sumptuous breakfast. Just days ago, Huang Ling would wake up very early each time. However, she often waited for Lin Fan to leave before coming out. Today, Huang Ling came to the living room with Lin Fan. Lin Fan placed an egg into Huang Ling¡¯s bowl and said, ¡°You worked hard yesterday, so you should nourish yourself.¡± Huang Ling seemed to have thought of something, and her face blushed. Then, she almost buried her entire head into her bowl. Seeing this, Qiu Ziqian could not help but laugh. After Lin Fan finished the entire bowl of noodles, he let out a burp. He picked up his phone and started fiddling with it. Immediately after, Huang Ling¡¯s phone rang with a crisp sound. [WeChat transfer, one million yuan.] Huang Ling¡¯s heart thumped wildly, and she was stunned. She had personally seen Lin Fan transfer a million dollars to Qiu Ziqian. When she decided to become Lin Fan¡¯s woman, she thought of receiving similar treatment. However, now that she had actually obtained the money, she could not help but be extremely surprised. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°If you don¡¯t have enough, you can ask me for more.¡± ¡°It¡¯s enough¡­¡± Huang Ling quickly replied. ¡°It¡¯s enough¡­¡± At that moment, Qiu ziqian¡¯s phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID and picked up the call. ¡°Mom, you¡¯re calling so early? Have you had breakfast?¡± Qiu Ziqian asked. On the phone, Wang Hui did not answer Qiu Ziqian¡¯s question. Instead, she asked directly, ¡°Ziqian, do you have two million?¡± ¡°Mom, what do you need so much money for?¡± Qiu Ziqian asked, frowning. ¡°Your father has been captured, and one of his legs has been broken. If we don¡¯t pay the ransom, all his limbs will be broken.¡± Wang Hui¡¯s voice gradually became hoarse as she spoke, and she could not help but sob. ¡°What? How did this happen?¡± Qiu Ziqian¡¯s heart ached, and she sniffled. ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll go back right away.¡± Children were the flesh and blood of their parents. Were parents also not the people that their children cared about the most? As Lin Fan was sitting beside her, he easily heard the entire conversation between the two. He held Qiu Ziqian¡¯s slender waist and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go home with you.¡± Qiu Ziqian nodded hesitantly. She did not want to trouble Lin Fan. However, Lin Fan was probably the only one who could solve her problem for her. Huang Ling, who was sitting opposite him, did not hear what had happened clearly. However, when she saw Qiu Ziqian¡¯s sad face, she knew that something big had happened. ¡°Lin Fan will definitely be able to help you solve it. Don¡¯t be sad¡­ ¡°Do you need me to go with you?¡± she asked after a pause. ¡°I drove a Lamborghini here yesterday. It can¡¯t fit three people. You can rest at home today,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright,¡± Huang Ling said. In fact, Huang Ling did not really want to follow them. She did not know how to face Qiu Ziqian¡¯s parents. After Lin Fan and Qiu Ziqian got into the car, Lin Fan stepped on the gas and sped forward. Qiu Ziqian¡¯s hometown was located in Yan City of Jiang Province, about 300 kilometers north of Li River. Two and a half hours later, a dilapidated old street gradually appeared in their field of vision. Qiu Ziqian¡¯s house was right there. In a single-story house that was more than ten years old, a woman who looked somewhat similar to Qiu Ziqian but had gone through a lot was standing at the door and looking outside. When she saw Qiu Ziqian come out of a cool supercar, her wrinkled old face showed a touch of excitement. ¡°Ziqian, you¡¯re finally back!¡± Wang Hui shouted. Then, she looked at Lin Fan and asked with uncertainty, ¡°Is he your boyfriend?¡± Qiu Ziqian was about to explain when Lin Fan answered, ¡°Yes, Aunt. I¡¯m Ziqian¡¯s boyfriend, Lin Fan.¡± Qiu Ziqian¡¯s heart warmed when she heard that. Wang Hui¡¯s cloudy eyes lit up. ¡°Young man, how long have you known Ziqian?¡± she asked. ¡°Mom, this isn¡¯t the time to ask questions,¡± Qiu Ziqian said with a frown. ¡°Tell me quickly, why is Dad being detained? Why¡­ is his leg broken?¡± Wang Hui¡¯s eyes turned red as she spoke. ¡°I don¡¯t know what happened to your father yesterday. He went to an antique shop and accidentally broke an antique¡­ ¡°The other party wanted him to pay, but he couldn¡¯t afford it. Then, they broke his leg¡­ ¡°After that, someone called and said that if he didn¡¯t pay the money, they would¡­ They would break his limbs¡­ ¡°What¡¯s he going to do in the future without his limbs? ¡°Ziqian, Lin Fan, you guys have to save him!¡± As Wang Hui spoke, her turbid tears kept flowing out as if a tap had been turned on. ¡°Aunt, don¡¯t worry. We¡¯ll go and save Uncle now,¡± Lin Fan comforted her. ¡°Besides, medical technology is so advanced now. Uncle¡¯s leg can definitely be cured.¡± After consoling her for a while, Lin Fan and Qiu Ziqian got back into the Lamborghini and headed to the place Wang Hui had told them about. At the same time, in Breeze Pavilion Antique Shop. A bald man with golden teeth was sitting with his legs crossed, munching on melon seeds and humming a tune leisurely. Boom! At this time, a roar suddenly came from the distance. Then, the cool-looking Lamborghini stopped in front of the shop. When the bald man saw this, his squinted eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly got up to greet them. ¡°Welcome to Breeze Pavilion. We have things from all dynasties¡­ Do you need me to introduce some items to you?¡± ¡°You¡¯re detaining someone here, right?¡± Lin Fan said coldly. ¡°Oh? You¡¯re here to redeem someone?¡± The enthusiasm on the bald man¡¯s face immediately faded. Then, he sat back on the chair and crossed his legs. ¡°Who is he to you guys?¡± the bald man said unhurriedly as he cracked a melon seed. ¡°He¡¯s my dad!¡± Qiu Ziqian said. ¡°Alright!¡± the bald man said. ¡°When your dad saw the blue-and-white porcelain vase from the Song dynasty in our shop yesterday, he threw it to the ground! ¡°You have to compensate for the damage! Your dad doesn¡¯t have money, so we had no choice but to detain him! ¡°If you want to take your dad away, it¡¯s easy. Two million! Hand over the money and we¡¯ll hand you the person.¡± ¡°You¡¯re extorting me!¡± Qiu Ziqian shouted. ¡°Extortion? Ha! Little girl, don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± the bald man said. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that we¡¯ll call the police and have them arrest you?¡± Qiu Ziqian yelled. ¡°Hurry up and call them! When the time comes, will they be arresting you or me?¡± The bald man sneered. ¡°You¡­¡± Qiu Ziqian wanted to say something, but Lin Fan said, ¡°Two million, right? We¡¯ll pay!¡± After saying that, Lin Fan took out a bank card. ¡°You¡¯re the most sensible one.¡± The bald man laughed. He grinned, revealing his shiny golden teeth. He took the bank card and swiped it on the POS system. Chapter 82 ?82 Cure; Trouble at the Door When the medicine entered his mouth, it did not have any taste. It was completely like mineral water. However, it did not take long for Qiu You¡¯s body to slowly heat up. Especially his broken left leg. It was like it was soaking in a hot spring. It felt very comfortable. As time passed, Qiu You¡¯s left leg, which had lost all feeling, started to sway involuntarily. He could even stand up! ¡°This¡­ This¡­¡± Qiu You took a few steps around the living room, his old face full of disbelief. ¡°Old Qiu, is your leg better?¡± Wang Hui was pleasantly surprised. ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t know¡­¡± Qiu You was still a little confused. It took a hundred days to recover from a serious injury. Moreover, Qiu You¡¯s left leg had been completely broken. Recovery would not be a matter of a hundred days¡­ Qiu You was even prepared to never be able to use his left leg for the rest of his life. However, in such a short time¡­ He could stand up again? Qiu Ziqian was so happy that she cried. ¡°Lin Fan, thank you.¡± She understood that all of this was because of Lin Fan. It was the small bottle of medicine that Lin Fan had just given her father. Qiu Ziqian did not know what the medicine was, so she did not ask. However, in such a short period of time, it had cured her father¡¯s left leg. Qiu Ziqian understood that it was an extremely precious item. To think that Lin Fan would give such a precious item to her father without any hesitation! Qiu Ziqian¡¯s heart had completely melted. Instantly, a crisp voice rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [ding! [Charming Aura triggered an unforgettable memory!] Lin Fan could not help but use his Eyes of Truth to observe Qiu Ziqian. [Face value: 96] [Favorability: 96] At this moment, Qiu You and Wang Hui also reacted. ¡°Thank you, thank you, Lin Fan.¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°You guys don¡¯t have to be so polite. This is what I should do.¡± Now, Qiu You had not only been brought back safely, but his left leg had completely recovered. Qiu Ziqian¡¯s family was overjoyed. To celebrate, Wang Hui prepared a sumptuous lunch. Everyone was very satisfied with the food. Wang Hui took the washed clothes outside to dry. One, two, three¡­ A total of four black cars and a van suddenly stopped at the entrance. Then, a dozen men with different hair colors and tattoos on their arms got out of the cars. In the van, there was a pale, bald man. Seeing this¡­ Wang Hui¡¯s heart clenched. She could not be bothered to hang the clothes to dry anymore and hurriedly ran inside. ¡°No¡­ This is bad! Those bad guys are here!¡± Wang Hui shouted. Qiu You, who had been smiling just now, instantly turned pale. ¡°I started this. I¡¯ll go talk to them¡­¡± Qiu You said in a trembling voice. Although he was also very afraid, he had to stand up for the sake of his family! ¡°Uncle, Aunt, don¡¯t worry. Leave this to me,¡± Lin Fan said. Qiu Ziqian held onto Lin Fan¡¯s hand worriedly. Lin Fan patted Qiu Ziqian¡¯s little hand and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m right here.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Qiu Ziqian nodded. Then, Lin Fan strode out. Qiu You and Wang Hui followed closely behind. At this moment, the bald man in the van was carried out. When he saw Lin Fan and the others, a ferocious look appeared on his pale face. He shouted, ¡°C-Cousin, it¡¯s¡­ It¡¯s them!¡± The man with sideburns looked at Lin Fan and the rest coldly. He asked, ¡°Which gang are you guys from?¡± Li Xingning was not a reckless person considering that he was able to get to his current position. He was prepared to find out about Lin Fan and the others before making plans. ¡°You don¡¯t deserve to know,¡± Lin Fan said calmly. Li Xingning was completely infuriated by this. The other party had first broken his cousin¡¯s limbs. Now, he was humiliating him in front of everyone! It was simply¡­ He was too arrogant! Li Xingning thought fiercely in his heart, ¡®No matter who he is, he must die today!¡¯ ¡°Damn it! You¡¯re looking for death! Beat him up!¡± Li Xingning shouted sternly. The men with tattoos either twisted their necks or took out steel pipes from their cars. They were like a group of demons as they walked toward Lin Fan. Qiu Ziqian, Qiu You, and Wang Hui were all flustered. Especially Qiu You and Wang Hui. Their bodies trembled, and they could barely stand. On the other hand, Lin Fan¡¯s expression remained the same as if the tattooed men did not exist at all. At this moment, the roar of an engine was heard in the distance. In a fiery red Ferrari convertible, Wan Lang was driving a hot beauty through the old street. It was extremely leisurely and pleasant. When the Ferrari wanted to drive past Qiu Ziqian¡¯s house, the road was blocked by four cars. The beautiful girl next to him wrinkled her nose and asked, ¡°What¡¯s with the traffic jam?¡± Honk, honk! Wan Lang even pressed the horn a few times. Then, he looked around. Soon, his gaze fell on a group of young men who were covered in tattoos not far away. The next moment, Wan Lang¡¯s pupils suddenly shrank. He hurriedly opened the car door and jogged forward. That was because he saw Lin Fan! ¡°Brother Fan, I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here.¡± Wan Lang called out in an extremely respectful tone. It had to be said that these second-generation nouveau riche were definitely much smarter than ordinary people. One had to know¡­ Not long ago, Lin Fan had even provoked Wan Lang at Xinyue Restaurant. The two of them had become enemies. Now, Lin Fan was surrounded by a group of people. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably hide at the side and clap their hands. However, Wan Lang did not hesitate at all. He immediately ran out and greeted Lin Fan respectfully. It was because Wan Lang still clearly remembered how close the Zhou family¡¯s old master, Zhou Guotao, was to Lin Fan. After that, Wan Lang even heard that Lin Fan had saved Old Master Zhou¡¯s life! All of this showed that he had to build a good relationship with Lin Fan! Yan City was the car capital of Jiang Province, and the Wan family had some properties here. Two days ago, Wan Lang came to Yan City as the general manager to deal with some matters, and then he took a beautiful woman out to play. Lin Fan nodded at Wan Lang as a form of greeting. Although it was just a simple nod, it made Wan Lang extremely happy. This scene was all seen by Li Xingning, who was standing not far away. The young master of the Wan family was so respectful to the young man. Li Xingning¡¯s heart tightened, and a bad feeling surged up madly. After a long while, he came back to his senses and looked at the tattooed men who were still walking toward Lin fan. ¡°Stop!¡± he shouted. ¡°All of you, stop!¡± Chapter 83 ?83 Who Is He Exactly? Hearing this, the tattooed men all stopped and looked at Li Xingning with puzzled eyes. Li Xingning did not care much and quickly walked in front of Wan Lang. He bowed and said in a respectful tone, ¡°Hello, President Wan.¡± In front of ordinary people, Li Xingning was a devil that could not be provoked. However, in front of Wan Lang¡­ Li Xingning was like the most humble servant. ¡°Who are you?¡± Wan Lang glanced at him and asked. ¡°I¡¯m Li Xingning,¡± Li Xingning said. ¡°The night before yesterday, at Dahua Hotel, I even gave you a toast.¡± A few days ago, when Li Xingning learned that Dahua Hotel was going to hold an upper-class banquet, he spent a lot of effort to get an admission ticket. Li Xingning was just an insignificant person at the banquet. Wan Lang was the center of attention. Countless people swarmed Wan Lang and toasted him. Li Xingning also followed the crowd and toasted. From there, he learned of Wan Lang¡¯s identity. Wan Lang casually replied, ¡°Oh.¡± Then, he turned his gaze back to Lin Fan and said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, when did you come to Yan City? Why didn¡¯t you tell me? ¡°If I had known, I would¡¯ve gone to meet you early in the morning.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t dare to let you, Young Master Wan, welcome me,¡± Lin Fan said calmly. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, aren¡¯t you slapping me in the face with your words?¡± Wan Lang hurriedly said. Then, Wan Lang seemed to remember the tattooed men not far away and said, ¡°Oh right, Brother Lin Fan, did you run into some trouble?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Trouble? Not really. ¡°It¡¯s just that Tiger Li¡¯s cousin broke my girlfriend¡¯s father¡¯s leg. After that, Tiger Li found people to teach me a lesson.¡± He broke the leg of Lin Fan¡¯s girlfriend¡¯s father? He even wanted to teach Lin Fan a lesson? How dare he?! How bold! Wan Lang¡¯s expression suddenly changed. He turned around and stared at Li Xingning like a furious King Kong. At this moment, Li Xingning¡¯s heart was beating wildly as if it had been hit by a drum. A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. ¡°Y-Young Master Wan, this¡­ This¡­¡± However, without waiting for Li Xingning¡¯s explanation, Wan Lang ruthlessly kicked him in the stomach. Caught off guard, Li Xingning¡¯s entire body was directly kicked to the ground, and he curled up into a ball. Seeing this¡­ The faces of the tattooed men behind him all changed. They raised their steel pipes and looked like they were going to teach Wan Lang a lesson. Li Xingning hurriedly covered his stomach and shouted in a panic, ¡°Don¡¯t move, don¡¯t move!¡± Then, Li Xingning stood up with difficulty, bent over, and said in pain, ¡°Young Master Fan and I¡­ Young Master Fan misunderstood¡­¡± Even though Li Xingning had been beaten, he did not have any thoughts of revenge. In fact, he had to be even more careful to please the two men in front of him. He knew that he could not afford to offend the other party. He could let his men beat these guys up. However, what would happen after the fight? After that, he would completely disappear from this world! ¡°F*ck this misunderstanding!¡± Wan Lang kicked Li Xingning to the ground again. Back in Jingbei, Wan Lang had already offended Lin Fan. Now, he finally had the chance to befriend Lin Fan. Wan Lang absolutely would not allow anyone to destroy this chance. Li Xingning had just greeted him. What if Lin Fan thought that he had a good relationship with him? The consequences¡­ They were simply terrifying. Thus, Wan Lang did not hold back at all. Li Xingning held his stomach and rolled on the ground in pain. Li Xingning quickly endured the pain and lay on the ground. He kept kowtowing to Lin Fan. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, no, Young Master Fan, I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t discipline my cousin well¡­¡± ¡°Li Xingning, right?¡± Lin Fan squatted down and asked. ¡°Yes, yes¡­¡± Li Xingning said hurriedly. ¡°In the future, you¡¯ll have to discipline him well. If something similar happens again, it won¡¯t end well. Do you understand?¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°I understand¡­ Thank you, Young Master Fan. Thank you, Young Master Fan.¡± Li Xingning kowtowed again. ¡°Alright, take your people and get lost,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Yes, yes. Thank you, Young Master Fan. Goodbye, Young Master Fan. Goodbye, Young Master Wan.¡± After Li Xingning finished speaking, he rolled and crawled away quickly. Very quickly, the old street that was originally a little congested became clear again. Wan Lang said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, it¡¯s rare for you to come to Yan City. I wonder if I¡¯ll have the chance to treat you to dinner tonight? I¡¯ll do my part as the host.¡± Even without Wan Lang, Lin Fan could have easily dealt with the tattooed men. However, no matter what, Wan Lang had done his part. He still had to show him some face. ¡°Alright, you decide on the place, then.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Alright, alright!¡± Wan Lang said happily. Wan Lang also understood that Lin Fan had to deal with some matters with his girlfriend¡¯s family. In addition, he had also arranged to have a meal together. After exchanging a few more words, he quickly left. Even now, Qiu You and Wang Hui were still a little stunned. The terrifying Tiger Li was kicked twice just like that? Then, he had to kowtow to Lin Fan and admit his mistakes? What kind of a boyfriend had their daughter found? On the other hand, Qiu Ziqian¡¯s eyes were filled with little stars. ¡°Uncle, Aunt, it¡¯s fine now. Let¡¯s go in,¡± Lin Fan said with a smile. ¡°Ah¡­ Ah¡­ Alright, alright, let¡¯s go in!¡± Qiu You and Wang Hui finally reacted and responded. In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting. The exterior of Dahua Hotel was like a huge arch. It was brightly lit at night and was a landmark building in Yan City. At this moment, Wan Lang was already waiting at the entrance of Dahua Hotel. When he saw a Lamborghini coming from a distance, he quickly went over to greet the driver. Lin Fan held Qiu Ziqian¡¯s hand and slowly walked out of the car. Then, a valet took the car keys and quickly drove the car to the parking lot. ¡°You¡¯ve been waiting for a long time, right?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°No, no, I¡¯ve only been here for a while,¡± Wan Lang said. He exclaimed, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you have such good taste. Sister-in-law is so beautiful!¡± ¡°Young Master Wan, you¡¯re too good at complimenting people,¡± Qiu Ziqian laughed. ¡°I¡¯m not complimenting anyone; it¡¯s the truth. By the way, Sister-in-law, don¡¯t call me ¡®Young Master Wan.¡¯ It¡¯s too distant! You can just call me Lil Wan Lang or Wan Lang. Both are fine,¡± Wan Lang said. ¡°Then I¡¯ll call you by your name,¡± Qiu Ziqian said. ¡°Alright! Brother Lin Fan, Sister-in-law, shall we go in?¡± Wan Lang said. Lin Fan nodded his head. Just like that, the three of them slowly walked into Dahua Hotel under the gazes of many people in the distance. Even the young master of the Wan family had to personally welcome the guy at the door. Who was he? There was another big shot in Yan city! Chapter 84 ?84 Apologize Again; Return After Lin Fan and the other two entered Room 666, the waiter started to serve the dishes. Australian lobster, top-grade Wagyu beef, papaya-stewed snow toad, top-grade abalone¡­ Then, the waiter opened a bottle of 1982 Lafite. Wan Lang raised his wine glass and said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, welcome to Yan City.¡± Lin Fan raised his glass and clinked it lightly. Wan Lang finished it in one gulp. Then, he poured himself another glass and said, ¡°Sister-in-law, I wish you¡¯ll get younger and more beautiful!¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± Qiu Ziqian said with a smile. After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere in the room became more lively, and the three of them were very happy. After the meal, Lin Fan and Qiu Ziqian did not go home. Instead, they booked a presidential suite at Dahua Hotel. Perhaps it was because they had been in the car for the whole day, but Qiu Ziqian worked out more than usual. She went up and down! Tireless! The two people¡­ did not get any sleep! ¡­ The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Qiu Ziqian was still lying lazily on the bed like a lazy cat. Lin Fan did not disturb her. He picked up his phone. As usual, there was an unread message on the screen. [Notice from China Merchant Bank: 1,430,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] [Name: Lin Fan] [Level: LV5] [Ding! System upgraded to level 5!] [Level 5 reward: 20 yuan for every breath, 20 yuan for every second of sleep, and 20 yuan for every step taken. Rewards are distributed at 12 AM daily.] [Upgrade cost: 6.34 million/50 million (not including gifts and gambling. In addition, all items obtained from the system are prohibited from being traded.] [Skills: Professional Driving Skills, Charming Aura (5% chance to trigger love at first sight and unforgettable love), Violent Aesthetics, Drinking Gentleman, Absolute Focus (10% chance to trigger a flash of inspiration)¡­ Professional Piloting Skills, Professional Go Skills, energy shield.] [Funds: 150.2 million] Then, Lin Fan¡¯s eyes fell on the 500 red packets on his phone. He muttered in his heart, ¡®I should be able to gather 1,000 in a few days.¡¯ Swish! At that moment, Qiu Ziqian slowly opened her beautiful eyes. She tried her best to stretch her body before sitting up slowly. ¡°You must be tired from yesterday. Aren¡¯t you going to rest?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m already well-rested,¡± Qiu Ziqian said. After breakfast, the two of them drove the Lamborghini back to the old street. Just as he got out of the car, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. 12:00 PM! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 500 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the skill, Perfume Expert.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] Today, Lin Fan earned a total of 40,503 yuan. He immediately turned his attention to Perfume Expert. [Perfume Expert: a single whiff can tell a hundred scents. As a gentleman, how can you not understand perfume? You¡¯ll understand a perfume¡¯s formula, production, and classification¡­ (It can also increase infinite charm).] Perfume? Lin Fan¡¯s face was filled with doubt. Then, he took a light breath and smelled the fragrance on Qiu Ziqian¡¯s body. ¡°Jasmine, rose, lily¡­ It¡¯s a perfume made by drying, crushing, filtering, and other steps.¡± The entire process of making the perfume appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s mind like a scene from a movie. It was extremely magical. At this time, Li Xingning jogged over from a distance. ¡°Young Master Fan, I¡¯m really sorry for yesterday¡­¡± he bowed and said respectfully. ¡°This card contains the two million yuan you paid yesterday, as well as some compensation for Uncle and Aunt¡¯s physical and mental losses.¡± Lin Fan did not reject and kept the card. Seeing this, Li Xingning heaved a long sigh of relief. Even though Lin Fan had already let him off yesterday¡­ However, his heart was a mess, and he could not sleep for the whole night. Li Xingning was very clear that if a young master like Lin Fan wanted to deal with him, he probably only needed to move his fingers. Therefore, he had been waiting in the alley in the distance since early morning, hoping to make amends again. Now that Lin Fan had accepted his bank card, Li Xingning was completely at ease. ¡°Young Master Fan, I won¡¯t disturb you any longer¡­¡± After Li Xingning finished speaking, he bent down and quickly left. At this moment, Wang Hui heard the sounds and walked out slowly. She said happily, ¡°Lin Fan, Ziqian, you guys are back? ¡°Are you hungry? I¡¯ll go cook for you now!¡± ¡°Aunt, there¡¯s no need to trouble yourself. We¡¯ve already eaten,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Then let¡¯s go in and have some tea,¡± Wang Hui said. The tea leaves were planted by Wang Hui herself and it was very fragrant. Lin Fan drank two big cups of it and was extremely satisfied. ¡°Ziqian, Lin Fan, you guys aren¡¯t young anymore. Have you considered when to get married?¡± Wang Hui asked. Qiu Ziqian¡¯s heart tightened. Without waiting for Lin Fan¡¯s reply, she quickly said, ¡°Mom, we won¡¯t get married.¡± She was afraid that Lin Fan would be put in a difficult position if her parents urged her to get married. If this caused Lin Fan to distance himself from her, she would truly regret it. ¡°This¡­ I see,¡± Wang Hui said with some regret. At that moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID before picking up the call. ¡°Dean Hu, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Lin Fan, didn¡¯t you say you didn¡¯t want to go to Poston to do the report? We¡¯ve contacted the World Mathematics Organization and are preparing to hold a report in Jiangbei¡­ When do you think it¡¯s convenient?¡± Hu Chuan asked. ¡°In the next few days,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Sure!¡± Dean Hu said after thinking for a while. After hanging up, Lin Fan saw that it was getting late. ¡°Uncle, Aunt, we¡¯ll be going back to Jiangbei first,¡± he said. ¡°You must have something to do. We won¡¯t keep you. Come to Yan City often if you have the chance,¡± Qiu You said. Lin Fan nodded and took out the bank card that Li Xingning had just given him. ¡°Uncle, Aunt, you guys take this,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°We can¡¯t accept it,¡± Qiu You said. ¡°Yeah, how can we take your money?¡± Wang Hui quickly followed. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°You¡¯ve misunderstood. This is the compensation that Li Xingning just sent over.¡± Qiu You and Wang Hui still waved their hands, indicating their refusal. Lin Fan was helpless. He could only say to Qiu Ziqian, ¡°Ziqian, you should help to persuade them too.¡± ¡°Mom, Dad, just accept it,¡± Qiu Ziqian said. When the two of them heard their child say the same things, they hesitated for a moment before accepting the card. After Lin Fan and Qiu Ziqian left¡­ ¡°Honey, how much money do you think is in this card?¡± Qiu You asked. ¡°How would I know? Let¡¯s go take a look,¡± Wang Hui said. Then, the two of them walked to the ATM machine not far away. The next moment, the two of them opened their mouths wide. That was because there was a total of five million yuan in the card! They would never have hoped to get so much money in their lifetime¡­ They had never seen such an astronomical figure! Chapter 85 ?85 The Higher Education Cup; Celebration At the venue of the National Mathematical Modeling Competition¡¯s oral defense in Jingbei. The geniuses from Huaqing University, Capital University, Haishang University, and many other top universities in the country gathered together to intensely defend their dissertation. The judges and professors sitting above either nodded or pondered. Under the anticipation of all the genius students, the awards were announced one by one. ¡°The third national prize goes to Zheng Cong of Haishang University, Yu Zhen, Tan Meijiao¡­ ¡°The second national prize goes to Chen Jian, Song Zelang, and Li Fen from the University of Science and Technology¡­ ¡°The first national prize goes to Huaqing University¡¯s Nie Zhenjiang, Pan Difei, Huang Zhiqiang¡­ ¡°Winners of the Higher Education Cup are Lin Fan, Xia Bing, and Xia Xue from Jiangbei University!¡± As the list of winners was released, some people were happy while others sighed. When the winners of the Higher Education Cup were revealed, everyone revealed a look of disbelief. Jiangbei University was indeed a top university. However, their mathematics had always been at the bottom of the top universities. In the previous mathematical modeling competitions, they rarely even won National Awards. This time, they had actually won the Higher Education Cup? Many people looked around, trying to find Lin Fan and the others but to no avail. ¡°There¡¯s no need to look for them,¡± someone said. ¡°The people from Jiangbei University are not here.¡± ¡°What? They didn¡¯t come for the oral defense and directly won the Higher Education Cup? Could there be a conspiracy behind this?¡± The people around immediately started shouting. ¡°I heard¡­ that the person named Lin Fan solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and is going to hold a report at Jiangbei University. So, he has no time for the oral defense,¡± another person said in a low voice. ¡°Zhou¡¯s Conjecture? Hiss!¡± Some people were extremely surprised. Nie Zhenjiang of Huaqing University snorted. ¡°So what if he solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture? What does this have to do with mathematical modeling?¡± ¡°What¡¯s more, he might not have solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture!¡± The Higher Education Cup of the mathematical modeling competition had always been won by Huaqing University and Capital University. This year, Nie Zhenjiang made a lot of preparations, and his goal was to win the Higher Education Cup! However, he only won the first prize. How could he not be angry? However, there were times when anger was of no use. ¡­ At that moment, Lin Fan was driving his Lamborghini toward Jiangbei. His phone suddenly rang. Lin Fan answered the call in his car. ¡°Lin Fan, I have good news for you! In regards to the National Mathematical Modeling Competition, you won the Higher Education Cup!¡± Hu Chuan¡¯s extremely excited voice came from the phone. Qiu Ziqian, who was beside him, was surprised. Even though she did not major in mathematics and it had been two years since she graduated, Qiu Ziqian had also heard of the famous Higher Education Cup. That was one of the highest awards in the Mathematics Department. Lin Fan was handsome, rich, and loyal! Now, she found out that he was a top student! Heavens! What kind of god-like man had she found? Qiu Ziqian looked at Lin Fan with her beautiful eyes, which were full of emotion. In response to Hu Chuan¡¯s words, Lin Fan only said, ¡°Oh.¡± In truth, he had no interest in the Higher Education Cup. Otherwise, Lin Fan would not have refused to go to Jingbei. When Hu Chuan heard Lin Fan¡¯s reply, he was at a loss for words. That was the Higher Education Cup! Yet he gave such a casual response? Did he have to be so calm? However, Hu Chuan quickly thought about how Lin Fan had solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and felt relieved. Lu Zhou coughed and said, ¡°Oh yeah, we contacted the World Mathematics Organization. We¡¯re going to hold the report this Saturday. If you have time in the next few days, do some preparations.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied casually. It was already nighttime when they returned to Jiangbei. Yi Ke City, Room 2501. Huang Ling was watching TV in the living room. She was drowsy and bored. Creak! Creak! At this moment, the door slowly opened. When Huang Ling saw Lin Fan and Qiu Ziqian, she immediately perked up. ¡°Ziqian, has your family¡¯s problem been resolved?¡± she asked. ¡°It¡¯s settled. It¡¯s all thanks to you, darling,¡± Qiu Ziqian said. As she spoke, she seemed to recall the scene of Lin Fan showing off his power and teaching the bald man and Li Xingning a lesson. She could not help but look at Lin Fan with affection. Qiu Ziqian continued, ¡°Huang Ling, do you know that he won the Higher Education Cup in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition today?¡± ¡°Higher Education Cup? Really?¡± Huang Ling cried out in surprise. Obviously, she had also heard of the Higher Education Cup. That was definitely something that only top students could dream of achieving! A legendary prodigy was actually standing in front of her? ¡°How could it be fake?¡± Qiu Ziqian smiled. ¡°By the way, have the clothes I asked you to buy arrived?¡± he asked. ¡°Y-Yes, they¡¯re here.¡± Huang Ling lowered her head and whispered. She thought of those clothes and her face instantly turned red. Qiu Ziqian laughed. ¡°That¡¯s good! I¡¯ll change into that set of clothes tonight to celebrate my darling winning the Higher Education Cup!¡± Hearing this, Huang Ling buried her little head into her collar, looking like a little ostrich. She was extremely cute. It was nighttime. There was no sleep in Yi Ke City, Room 2501. ¡­ The next day. Lin Fan drove his Lamborghini and sped toward Jiangbei University. When he arrived at a traffic light¡­ Bang! A white Porsche Cayenne suddenly crashed into him. Then, a beautiful woman walked over. She had long hair, delicate facial features, and a white dress that accentuated her perfect body. She was mature and full of charm! Their figures were similar, but her facial features were even better. At the same time, Lin Fan could not help but use his Eyes of Truth. [Face value: 95] [Favorability: 70] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s face was filled with a weird expression. Her face value was 95, which was within his expectations. However, a favorable impression of 70? What was going on? She had hit his car, but he had not made his stand clear. Logically speaking, there should not be such a high favorability, right? As the beautiful lady got closer, a familiar scent drifted to Lin Fan¡¯s nose. The beauty said in a magnetic tone, ¡°It¡¯s my fault. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely compensate you. ¡°Also, to express my apology for the car accident, let me treat you to a meal,¡± she added after a pause. Lin Fan was about to reply. At this moment, a clear voice rang out in his mind. ¡°New mission: feasting on women. Treat five beauties with a score of 90 or more points to a meal worth more than 100,000 yuan each time. Reward: five silver packets. Progress: 0/5.¡± Mission? Another mission! After opening the silver packets a few times, Lin Fan was filled with anticipation. Lin Fan¡¯s eyes flickered as he said, ¡°How can I let a beauty treat me? I should be the one treating the beauty to a meal.¡± The beauty took two steps forward and let out a sweet breath. She smiled and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t know that you¡¯re an expert in love. I like it!¡± Chapter 86 - 86 Satisfied; Player 86 Satisfied; Player The rear-end collision was not serious this time. In fact, Lin Fan¡¯s Lamborghini did not even have a single scratch on it. It was like the two cars were just gently hugging each other. Under Lin Fan¡¯s lead, the two of them quickly arrived at Star located in the center of Jiangbei. This restaurant had the most luxurious ingredients and the best chefs. The food was excellent. Correspondingly, the price was also extremely high. ¡°Star?¡± the beauty asked. ¡°You¡¯re really generous.¡± Obviously, she had heard of the name Star. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°This place shouldn¡¯t be a problem for you, right?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never been here for a meal. This is my first time.¡± The beautiful lady looked at Lin Fan pitifully. It was as though Lin Fan had done something to her. He¡­ Was he being teased? ¡°Let¡¯s go in first.¡± Lin Fan coughed out gently. When the two of them walked into the restaurant, the crisp sound of a bell ringing echoed in their ears. Then, a tall waitress came up to them. ¡°Welcome to Star! ¡°Do you have an appointment?¡± the waitress asked. ¡°No.¡± Lin Fan shook his head. The waitress looked at the tablet in her hand and said, ¡°Then I guess you can only sit near the edge.¡± Lin Fan turned around and looked at the beautiful lady beside him. ¡°It¡¯s the same no matter where we eat,¡± the beauty said. ¡°This way, please,¡± the waitress said. Soon, the two of them were arranged to sit at the back. ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve introduced myself yet. My name is Xia Yan,¡± the beautiful lady said. Xia? At this moment, Lin Fan finally remembered why he felt that Xia Yan¡¯s scent was a little familiar. That was because Xia Bing and Xia Xue had almost the same smell! If it were in the past, Lin Fan might not have been able to tell. However, now that he had Perfume Expert, he could easily remember and distinguish different smells. Lin Fan had seen Xia Bing and Xia Xue a few times and smelled their scent many times. Naturally, he would not forget it. In fact, it was this familiar smell that made Lin Fan want to treat Xia Yan. They both had the same surname and the same taste¡­ Could they be¡­ Lin Fan could not help but start to size Xia Yan up. Her facial features were different from Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s. She was filled with a mature aura, while the girls were as cute as dolls. However, their figures were all perfect! At that moment, Lin Fan was already starting to suspect if his car getting hit was a coincidence. Just as Lin Fan was feeling puzzled, sweet caviar was served while emitting white smoke. The three different types of caviar¡ªyellow, gray, and green¡ªformed a beautiful rainbow platter. Even though Xia Yan had eaten many delicacies before, her beautiful eyes still lit up slightly when the caviar entered her mouth. Crisp, soft, tender, and smooth! It was an incomparable enjoyment. At this moment, two glasses of whiskey were placed in front of them. ¡°Cheers!¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Cheers!¡± Xia Yan added. After she finished speaking, she took a big gulp and praised, ¡°It¡¯s good!¡± As for Lin Fan, he first swirled the glass. Then, he slowly poured it into his mouth. His actions were gentle and slow, and he savored the taste carefully. Seeing this¡­ Xia Yan, who was sitting opposite him, was a little stunned. Although Lin Fan did not comment on the whiskey¡­ His expression and actions seemed to be able to speak. He was noble, free, and charming. Drinking Gentleman had infinite charm! At this moment, the fish was served. Xia Yan retracted her gaze and quickly picked up a piece of fish as if she was trying to avoid him. It melted in her mouth and was extremely fragrant. Xia Yan nodded again. After that, it was pine velvet, foie gras, and beef¡­ The portion of each dish was not big, but the taste was excellent, making people feel like they were on top of the clouds. After a moment, Xia Yan wiped her cherry-like lips and said, ¡°I¡¯m so full.¡± Lin Fan did a quick calculation of the price. After confirming that it was over 100,000, he said, ¡°Waiter, bill please.¡± ¡°Hello, with the 10% service charge, the total is 122,000 yuan,¡± the waitress said. Lin Fan took out his bank card. Beep! After a light sound, the purchase was successful. Then, Lin Fan looked at the mission. [New mission: feasting on women. Treat five beauties with a score of 90 or more points to a meal worth more than 100,000 yuan each time. Reward: five silver packets. Progress: 1/5.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled. Xia Yan, who was sitting opposite him, clicked her tongue and said, ¡°120,000 yuan for a meal? I¡¯ve really been extravagant today.¡± At this moment, Xia Yan¡¯s cell phone rang with a light ringtone. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m coming over now.¡± After Xia Yan hung up the phone, she said to Lin Fan, ¡°Do you need me to take your car to a workshop?¡± Lin Fan shook his head. ¡°There¡¯s no damage. Why would I need to go to a workshop?¡± ¡°Then we¡¯ll keep in touch in the future.¡± Xia Yan shook her phone and added him on WeChat. Then, she got into her Porsche and drove away. Lin Fan rubbed his stomach and turned around to head toward Yi Ke City. He had just eaten 120,000 yuan worth of food. However, there was only a little bit of each dish, and he was not full at all. Lin Fan was prepared to pick up Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling to eat again. Firstly, it was to complete his mission. Secondly, it was to fill his stomach. However, before he could return to Yi Ke City, he met the manager of Lianjia, Han Tian, on the way. Lin Fan parked his car at the side. ¡°Mr. Lin!¡± Han Tian said in surprise. ¡°Manager Han, what a coincidence!¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Are you bringing people to look at houses?¡± ¡°Yes, the client just left a while ago,¡± Han Tian said. ¡°Manager Han, you haven¡¯t eaten yet, have you?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Why don¡¯t we have a meal together?¡± Eating with Mr. Lin? When Han Tian heard this, her heart started to beat faster. ¡°Sure!¡± she blurted out. Thus, Lin Fan drove Han Tian back to Star. After walking through the restaurant¡¯s door, the familiar soft sound of a bell rippled slightly. Then, the waitress quickly came up to them. However, when she saw Lin Fan, she was stunned for a moment. Did he not just come to have lunch? Could it be that he had left something behind? Thinking of this, the waitress was about to ask. Lin Fan saw that the waitress was in a daze and thought that there were no more available tables. ¡°We don¡¯t have a reservation,¡± he said. ¡°Are there no available tables now?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you leave something behind?¡± Then, the waitress noticed that Han Tian, who was standing next to Lin Fan, was not the woman who was with Lin Fan before. A word immediately appeared in her mind. Player! After a while, the waitress finally reacted and said, ¡°Oh¡­ Oh, there¡¯s still some space. This way, please.¡± Then, Lin Fan was brought to the table where he had just had lunch with Xia Yan. Chapter 87 - 87 Lets Celebrate; Continue Treating! 87 Let¡¯s Celebrate; Continue Treating! Soon, the same dishes were served on the table. Han Tian had a great time eating. On one hand, the dishes were indeed delicious. On the other hand, it was also because this was the first time she was having a meal with Lin Fan. When she found out that the meal cost 122,000 yuan, Han Tian was both shocked and happy. Although Han Tian felt that the food here was very delicious and expected the price to not be cheap, 122,000 yuan was still beyond her imagination. Lin Fan was willing to spend so much money to treat her to a meal¡­ Did he¡­ As Han Tian thought of this, a touch of shyness appeared on her face. After eating two meals in a row, Lin Fan¡¯s stomach was almost full. After parting ways with Han Tian, he went straight to Jiangbei University. At this moment, Counselor Sun Yaodong happened to see Lin Fan. His entire face was immediately filled with a smile. He was like a good brother, placing his hand on Lin Fan¡¯s shoulder, ¡°I told you that you¡¯re outstanding and you¡¯d definitely bring glory to our class, didn¡¯t I ¡°As expected! You even brought back the Higher Education Cup. Good! Very good!¡± Lin Fan¡¯s lips twitched. Outstanding ability? Glory for the class? As expected, Counselor Sun only knew how to say these two things. Sun Yaodong continued, ¡°You¡¯ve brought glory to the school, so the school will definitely reward you. Since you¡¯ve brought back the Higher Education Cup, you¡¯ll be given a sum of bonus and credits¡­¡± Lin Fan did not care about any of this. Sun Yaodong added, ¡°Oh right, you have to prepare for the report on Saturday. Try to bring glory to our class!¡± As he spoke, he patted Lin Fan¡¯s shoulder and left in satisfaction. Lin Fan had just walked into the classroom when Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Jinbao surrounded him. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, I heard that you won the Higher Education Cup and solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture?¡± Song Yi asked. ¡°Yeah,¡± Lin Fan replied casually. Instantly, Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Jinbao looked at Lin Fan as if he were a god surrounded by golden light! A deity? That was right! He was immortal! In their eyes, the person who won the Higher Education Cup and solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture was not human at all! It was the work of a god! ¡°Brother Lin Fan, I¡¯ll kneel down to you!¡± the three of them shouted in unison. Lin Fan looked at their funny faces and could not help but laugh. At this moment, Song Jiaxin walked over and smiled. ¡°Congratulations on winning Jiangbei University¡¯s first Higher Education Cup.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± Lin Fan said. After a pause, he added, ¡°By the way, do you have time for dinner tonight?¡± Who knew how many people wanted to invite Song Jiaxin to dinner? However, she rejected all of them without exception. As for Lin Fan¡¯s invitation, she just nodded and said, ¡°It seems¡­ I¡¯m going to have a good meal tonight.¡± At this moment, the old professor walked into the classroom and started his lullaby-like lecture. Lin Fan listened and soon fell asleep. He had a very comfortable sleep. At night, Lin Fan drove Song Jiaxin to Star. As he walked through the door, he heard a familiar sound. The waitress came up to him again. When she saw Lin Fan, her face was filled with shock. Taking three girls to a meal in a row in one day? All of them were super beautiful too! How could she not be surprised? Lin Fan did not care much and said, ¡°Do you have an available table?¡± ¡°Yes, we do,¡± the waitress replied. Thus, Lin Fan was brought to the table where he had his two lunches. Soon, the exquisite dishes were served. During the entire meal, Song Jiaxin maintained her calm and indifferent attitude. Obviously, she had eaten similar food before. She was not too surprised by the price tag of 122,000 yuan. Not to mention 120,000 for a meal, Song Jiaxin had even tried a bottle of wine that cost a million. After the meal, Lin Fan sent Song Jiaxin back and headed straight to Yi Ke City. Originally, Lin Fan had wanted to bring Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian to Star for a meal. However, the two of them had already had dinner. Lin Fan could only push it back to the next day. ¡­ At this moment, in the Xia family. Today, the Xia family had prepared a very sumptuous dinner. This was because Xia Bing and Xia Xue won the Higher Education Cup! This was a great honor that was worth celebrating! The family gathered together, raised their glasses, and gently clinked them. If Lin Fan was here, he would definitely be shocked. Xia Yan was indeed one family with Xia Bing and Xia Xue! Xia Yan gave Xia Bing and Xia Xue a lot of meat and said, ¡°Eat more, then you can get chubby.¡± ¡°Alright¡­ Alright,¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue said. ¡°Good girls!¡± Xia Yan laughed. ¡°I heard that a large part of the reason why you guys were able to win the Higher Education Cup was because of a teammate called Lin Fan¡­ ¡°Why didn¡¯t you invite Lin Fan to our house today?¡± Xia Yan asked. Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s chopsticks paused slightly, but they did not answer. Xia Yan continued, ¡°By the way, didn¡¯t you guys say that you have a boyfriend? When are you bringing him back? It¡¯s good to introduce him to your mother.¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue did not answer, but their heads were almost buried in their bowls. Seeing this¡­ The corners of Xia Yan¡¯s mouth curled up slightly. She really liked to see the embarrassed look on the two of them. At the side, the white-haired elderly said, ¡°Don¡¯t just talk about Xiao Bing and Xiao Xue. You¡¯re not young anymore. When are you going to bring a boyfriend back? ¡°Back then, when you brought Xiao Bing and Xiao Xue back from the orphanage, you said that you would wait for them to grow up before getting married. ¡°And now? Now that Xiao Bing and Xiao Xue have boyfriends, are you going to wait for them to get married and have children before you get married?¡± Hearing this, Xia Yan could not help but feel a headache. ¡°Dad, we¡¯re here to celebrate Xiao Bing and Xiao Xue winning the Higher Education Cup. Let¡¯s not talk about this yet. Come, let¡¯s have another drink!¡± ¡­ Poston. An old professor with thick glasses was doing his research seriously. Professor Jeffries, who was wearing a white shirt, said, ¡°Professor Edison, are you going to Jiangbei this Saturday?¡± ¡°Jiangbei in Hua Nation? What is that place?¡± The white-haired Edison asked. ¡°It¡¯s a city in central Hua Nation. You should know that Zhou¡¯s Conjecture was solved by a man from Hua Nation. He¡¯ll be holding a report on Saturday in Jiangbei, Hua Nation,¡± Jeffries said. ¡°A report in Hua Nation?¡± Edison frowned and asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t he come to Poston?¡± ¡°He has the right to choose,¡± Jeffries said, shrugging. ¡°We can¡¯t force it.¡± Edison sighed and said, ¡°Although I really want to listen to his report, it¡¯s a pity that I still have a lot of urgent matters to deal with, so I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t go that far.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Jeffries said. ¡°I¡¯ll ask Professor Sende if he wants to go with Professor Emile and the others.¡± ¡­ Chapter 88 ?88 Casanova; Mission Completed The next day, after Lin Fan had breakfast, he was not in a hurry to go to Jiangbei University. Instead, he accompanied Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling, leisurely watching TV and chatting. ¡°By the way, Huang Ling, how much money do you have left?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°About 950,000,¡± Huang Ling replied after some thought. Lin Fan was shocked. ¡°You still have that much? Didn¡¯t you buy a car, cosmetics, or other things?¡± One had to know that Huang Ling had been following him for almost a week. It had been such a long time¡­ Yet she only spent 50,000 yuan? ¡°I¡¯ve been staying with Ziqian, so her car is enough for both of us. But I did buy some makeup,¡± Huang Ling said. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so frugal. Just buy whatever you want,¡± Lin Fan said with a smile. ¡°Alright,¡± Huang Ling said. The three of them were chatting and laughing together. In the blink of an eye, it was time for dinner. Yesterday, Lin Fan had specially driven the G-Class back. His goal was to bring Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling out for a meal. Lin Fan had been to Star three times, so he was very familiar with the place. Not long after, he parked the G-Class at the entrance. Ding! Ding! A familiar sound was heard, and the waitress came up to him immediately. When she saw Lin Fan, she was stunned. That was because Lin Fan had brought a different beauty today. Moreover, he had brought two of them at once! ¡°This¡­ This way, please,¡± the waitress said in a daze. As the three of them were having a meal together, Lin Fan specially ordered a few more dishes. Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian were eating the best food, their faces full of enjoyment. When the last dish was finished, both of their stomachs were bulging. ¡°Excuse me,¡± the waitress said. ¡°Including the service charge, the total is 231,000 yuan.¡± When Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian heard this, they were slightly stunned. This meal was indeed very delicious. However¡­ 231,000 yuan? In other words, they had just eaten a car? Lin Fan did not think too much about it and took out his bank card. Beep! With a light sound, the card was successfully swiped. Then, he turned his attention to the system. [Mission: feasting on women. Treat five beauties who score a face value of 90 points and above to a meal worth more than 100,000 yuan each time. Reward: five silver packets. Progress: 4/5.] Lin Fan thought to himself, ¡®As expected, treating Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian to a meal at once can only be considered as one time.¡¯ Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling finally came back to their senses when they heard the sound of the card. The two of them gave Lin Fan a kiss on the face. They could not help themselves! It was very easy to make a girl happy. The guy just needed to dote on her, love her, and care about her! Today, Lin Fan treated them to a meal that cost 200,000 yuan. At that moment, Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling felt as if they were completely wrapped in happiness. At first, she still had a trace of doubt in her heart. Perhaps Lin Fan was only treating his female colleagues and relatives to a meal. Now, the waitress realized that she was wrong! These beautiful women were really his women. Lin Fan naturally did not know about the change in the waitress¡¯s mind. After he finished his meal, he sent Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian back. At this moment, Lin Fan only needed to treat one more woman who had a face value of 90 points and above to a meal and he would be able to complete his mission. He thought for a while, then finally took out his phone and sent a message. ¡­. Jiangbei University. Xia Bing and Xia Xue had just returned to the dormitory when their mobile phones vibrated slightly. It turned out to be a WeChat message from Xia Yan. Xia Yan: [Remember to finish all the dishes you brought over this afternoon. I, your sister, took the entire afternoon to finish cooking yesterday!] Yesterday, in order to celebrate Xia Bing and Xia Xue winning the Higher Education Cup, Xia Yan personally cooked a lot of dishes. However, the family¡¯s food intake was limited, so there were still many dishes left. At Xia Yan¡¯s request, she packed all the dishes and let Xia Bing and Xia Xue bring them to school to eat. Xia Bing and Xia Xue: [Okay.] Xia Yan: [That¡¯s great!] Xia Bing and Xia Xue did as Xia Yan said. They took the food they brought and went downstairs to heat it up by asking the lady in charge of the dormitory. Then, they returned to the dormitory. At this moment, their phones vibrated again. Lin Fan: [Have you guys eaten? If you haven¡¯t, how about we eat together later?] Lin Fan had taken the initiative to send them a message! Furthermore, he wanted to have a meal with them! After seeing this message, Xia Bing and Xia Xue were so excited that their little faces flushed red. Xia Bing and Xia Xue replied: [We haven¡¯t eaten yet.] Lin Fan: [Then I¡¯ll come and pick you guys up?] Xia Bing and Xia Xue replied: [Yes, yes.] After Xia Bing and Xia Xue sent the message, they directly put the freshly heated food aside. Then, they quickly walked outside. What about the food personally made by Xia Yan? So what? How could it be more important than eating with Lin Fan? After Xia Bing and Xia Yan got into the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the first thing they did was take out the energy drink. Lin Fan smiled and opened the two bottles. He took a sip and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± After he finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and went straight to Star. Ding! Ding! After a clear and melodious sound was heard, the female waitress quickly came to greet him. When her gaze landed on Lin Fan, she was stunned once more. Yesterday, he had treated three different beauties to a meal. Just now, he treated two beautiful women to a meal at the same time. Now, he was having a meal with a pair of twins. Heavens! He was not just a player! He was a Casanova! Lin Fan did not care much about it. He went to the tablet he had sat at four times in a row. Then, he ordered another serving according to the food he had just eaten. Very quickly, a series of top-notch delicacies were served. During this meal, Xia Bing and Xia Xue had been burying their heads in their food, and their faces were filled with happy smiles from beginning to end. This was not because the food was delicious or because the ingredients were expensive. It was because they were eating with Lin Fan, and that was enough. Beep! After Lin Fan successfully paid the 231,000 yuan, a clear voice finally sounded in his mind. [Mission completed: feasting on women. Treat five beauties who score a face value of 90 points and above to a meal worth more than 100,000 yuan each time. Reward: five silver packets. Progress: 5/5.] Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up. The mission was finally completed! Chapter 89 - 89 More Silver Packets; A Supercar Worth 90 Million Yuan! 89 More Silver Packets; A Supercar Worth 90 Million Yuan! Lin Fan sent Xia Bing and Xia Xue to the female dormitory. He looked at their porcelain doll-like faces and could not help but pinch them gently. Immediately, Xia Bing and Xia Xue¡¯s pretty faces were like ripe tomatoes, bright red. Lin Fan looked at their shy expressions and could not help but be interested. He slowly moved his head over, like a dragonfly touching the water, and flashed past. In an instant, Xia Bing and Xia Xue widened their beautiful eyes. Their pretty faces, ears, neck¡­ Their snow-white skin had turned completely red. Seeing this¡­ ¡°Alright, you guys should go.¡± Lin Fan could not help but smile. ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue responded at the same time. Then, they ran back to the dormitory as if they were running for their lives. Lin Fan waited for them to go upstairs before he turned around and returned to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Then, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away. As soon as Lin Fan left, Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s little heads popped out of the dormitory window. They were panting, their faces still flushed. Ring, ring! At this moment, their phones rang. It turned out that Xia Yan was video-calling the group. Xia Bing and Xia Xue saw that Lin Fan was no longer downstairs, so they directly accepted the video call. ¡°Why are you two blushing so hard?¡± Xia Yan chuckled. ¡°Did you just exercise with your boyfriend?¡± Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s beautiful faces instantly turned even redder. They stuttered, ¡°Pinch¡­ He pinched our faces.¡± ¡°He pinched your faces?¡± Xia Yan was suspicious. ¡°He¡­ even kissed us¡­¡± ¡°Hahaha!¡± Xia Yan laughed. However, in the next moment, the smile on her face froze. Xia Yan shouted, ¡°Xia Bing, Xia Xue! Didn¡¯t you guys eat the packed food?¡± ¡°He¡­ He asked us out for a meal.¡± ¡°I made the food myself!¡± Xia Yan shouted. Xia Bing and Xia Xue did not say anything, but their expressions clearly said, ¡®But that¡¯s not as important as eating with Lin Fan!¡¯ ¡­ At that moment, Lin Fan had already arrived at the parking lot. He did not leave immediately but focused on the silver packet. ¡°Five silver packets! Let¡¯s see what I can get,¡± he mumbled. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 800,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a Pagani Huayra.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a fire-resistant energy shield.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 500,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 300,000 yuan.] With five silver packets, Lin Fan received a total of 1.6 million yuan. He did not care about the money. His gaze immediately fell on the fire-resistant energy shield. [Fire-resistant energy shield: it¡¯ll continuously absorb the energy in the world. When it encounters unbearable high temperatures, it¡¯ll automatically form a transparent protective shield to protect the host from the high temperatures.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°At least I didn¡¯t waste my energy on the mission. This item is not bad!¡± Then, he slowly raised his head and happened to see a super sports car with an extremely cool design appear in front of him. Even Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. He put his phone in his pocket and found strange-looking car keys in it. He gently unlocked the car. Whoosh! The headlights of the supercar in front of him flashed slightly. Evidently, this was the Pagani Huayra that Lin Fan had just obtained. Lin Fan walked to the front of the car, opened the door, and sat inside. Like the Lamborghini, the center console, steering wheel, and others were indeed very sporty. At the same time, the seats were wrapped in top-tier leather, giving people a sense of comfort that was both sporty and indulgent. Boom! After starting the car, the Pagani Huayra suddenly let out an angry roar. It was extremely shocking! Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction and left the parking lot. Not long after Lin Fan left, some students walked over. ¡°Look, there¡¯s a sports car over there!¡± a short student said in surprise. ¡°Let me see¡­ F*ck! Isn¡¯t this car¡¯s appearance too cool? I¡¯ll search the internet to see what kind of car it is,¡± a tall student said as he took out his phone. The next moment, the taller student shouted, ¡°F*ck! It¡¯s a Pagani Huayra that¡¯s worth 90 million!¡± His voice was so loud that not only did the short student beside him hear him, but the students who were passing by from afar also heard it. Following that, many students took out their phones and continuously took photos, either sending them to the class group chat or Tieba. ¡­ At that moment, Lin Fan had already arrived at the classroom. Under the old professor¡¯s long-winded explanation, Lin Fan fell asleep very quickly as if he was listening to a lullaby. When Lin Fan woke up, school had already ended. He followed his three roommates back to the dormitory. Even when Ma Zhong got back to the dormitory, he still did not relax. He quietly picked up his book and seriously studied. Zheng Jinbao turned on his computer and watched the live broadcast. He laughed foolishly. Song Yi sat on the chair, leisurely scrolling through his phone. The next moment, Song Yi stood up and shouted, ¡°F*ck!¡± Zheng Jinbao and Ma Zhong could not help but look over with puzzled eyes. ¡°Why are you so excited?¡± Zheng Jinbao said as he pinched his nose. Song Yi said, ¡°A Pagani Huayra! There¡¯s a Pagani Huayra parked in our school!¡± ¡°F*ck! It can¡¯t be true, right?¡± Zheng Jinbao was also extremely surprised. ¡°How could it be fake? Look, there are photos posted on the forum!¡± Song Yi shouted. Zheng Jinbao quickly went up and shouted excitedly, ¡°This shape! There¡¯s no mistake! It really is the Pagani Huayra! This is a super sports car worth 90 million yuan!¡± ¡°90 million?¡± Ma Zhong¡¯s eyes widened, and he could not help but shout out. Zheng Jinbao continued, ¡°This location is in Parking Lot No. 2, right? Let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s go and take a look!¡± Ma Zhong quickly closed his book. Obviously, he also wanted to see what a car worth 90 million yuan looked like. Song Yi saw that Lin Fan was still lying on the bed and did not move at all. He could not help but say, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, aren¡¯t you going to take a look?¡± To Song Yi, Lin Fan had bought a Lamborghini and was definitely a car lover. He should not miss the chance to see a Pagani Huayra. ¡°Oh, that car is mine,¡± Lin Fan replied casually. Silence! The entire dormitory was silent! There were only a few heavy breathing sounds that rippled slightly. After a long time, Song Yi stammered, ¡°Brother¡­ Brother Lin Fan, do you mean to say that the Pagani Huayra is¡­ yours?¡± ¡°Yup.¡± As Lin Fan spoke, he threw his car keys on the table. Even though Song Yi and the others knew that Lin Fan was extremely rich and that he was a super tycoon, they did not expect that the Pagani Huayra was also Lin Fan¡¯s. Did he already not have a big-name Lamborghini? Why did he have a Pagani Huayra? The next moment, Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and Ma Zhong all shouted, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, I¡¯ll kneel down to you!¡± Chapter 90 - 90 Buying a Car Is Like Buying Clothes; The Report Begins! 90 Buying a Car Is Like Buying Clothes; The Report Begins! Lin Fan looked at the comical faces of the three of them and could not help but burst out laughing. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, quickly take us to see the Pagani Huayra!¡± Song Yi said anxiously. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Fan nodded. The four of them walked straight to the parking lot. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class and the Lamborghini were great¡­ However, the Pagani Huayra was a step above. Lin Fan casually pressed the switch. Suddenly, the car¡¯s gull-wing doors spread and slowly opened. Coupled with the cool streamlined body of the car, it looked like a ferocious god in the sky from a distance! The name Pagani Huayra was just right! Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Jinbao all had their mouths wide open, their faces full of excitement. ¡°This design, this interior¡­ Holy sh*t, holy sh*t! It¡¯s too awesome!¡± Song Yi thought for a long time about how to describe it, but in the end, he could only sigh. Zheng Jinbao hurriedly sat in the car, took out his mobile phone, and said, ¡°Friends from WeChat, hello! I heard that you guys want to see a super sports car worth 90 million yuan.¡± Ma Zhong gently caressed the charcoal fiber carriage of the Pagani Huayra as if he was caressing the most beautiful thing in the world. His face was full of enjoyment. After a long time, the three of them reluctantly walked away from the Pagani Huayra. Zheng Jinbao could not help but ask, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, don¡¯t you already have a Lamborghini and a Mercedes-Benz G-Class car? Why did you buy another one?¡± ¡°I just bought it,¡± Lin Fan replied casually. ¡°Three cars at the same time?¡± Zheng Jinbao said. ¡°Then why do you buy so many clothes?¡± Lin Fan laughed. ¡°We don¡¯t wear them all at once, do we?¡± Buying a car was like buying clothes? Was that alright? Zheng Jinbao, Song Yi, and Ma Zhong once again shouted together, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, I¡¯ll kneel down to you!¡± ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday. It was a warm and sunny day, and it was very comfortable. Lin Fan lay on his bed and slept even more soundly than before. Little did he know that Jiangbei University had changed a lot. The school gate was filled with colorful flowers. Several large banners were hung up in the school. ¡®Welcome to Jiangbei University.¡¯ ¡°Congratulations to Jiangbei University for hosting Zhou¡¯s Conjecture Report.¡± ¡­ Early in the morning, many teachers and volunteers of Jiangbei University were waiting at the entrance to invite scholars and professors from Hua Nation and abroad into the auditorium. The atmosphere of the entire Jiangbei University was extremely lively! As more and more people entered the auditorium, the smile on Hu Chuan¡¯s face first grew, then became anxious. That was because he realized that Lin Fan had not arrived yet! The report was about to start, but the host was not here yet? Hu Chuan took out his phone and called Lin Fan. However, no one picked up the phone. This was normal. That was because Lin Fan would always put his phone on silent mode before he went to bed. After all, every night at 12 AM, Merchant Bank would send a notification of the transfer. This would disturb his sleep. Thus, he could not be reached? What should Hu Chuan do? In the end, Hu Chuan asked someone to fetch Lin Fan from the dormitory. However, Lin Fan did not return to the dormitory at all last night. This made Hu Chuan extremely anxious. The time for the report was getting closer and closer, and more and more people were in the auditorium. Hu Chuan was so anxious that he kept spinning in circles. At that moment, his phone finally rang. When Hu Chuan saw the incoming call notification, he answered the call without any hesitation. ¡°Lin Fan, where are you? The report is about to begin! Hurry up and come to the auditorium!¡± Lin Fan then yawned and said, ¡°Oh, is it starting? Alright, I¡¯ll be there in a bit.¡± After hanging up the phone, he put on his clothes and walked out. In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed since the report began. Even though the school leaders were giving speeches on stage to stall for time¡­ Some people were clearly getting impatient. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why hasn¡¯t it started yet?¡± Professor Lancelot, who was wearing a white shirt and had a full beard, frowned. ¡°It¡¯s a little draggy¡­ You should just start explaining Zhou¡¯s Conjecture,¡± Professor Barnedon said. Jeffree chuckled. ¡°We¡¯ve all traveled thousands of miles to get here, so you don¡¯t have to worry too much about the time. I learned a phrase a while ago¡ªhaste makes waste.¡± ¡°What does it mean?¡± Lancelot asked. ¡°It means that the better the item, the longer the wait,¡± Jeffrey said. Sitting next to him, the mustached Yamamoto Jiro said, ¡°I don¡¯t understand why we came all the way here.¡± ¡°I¡¯m from Hua Nation, so I came to listen to the report.¡± ¡°Zhou¡¯s Conjecture? That¡¯s just a simple expression of prime numbers. If you really want to hear more about prime numbers, you should come to my country! ¡°Our Professor Tanaka has already solved Liman¡¯s Conjecture!¡± As he spoke, a look of admiration and pride appeared on his face. Jeffree and the others sitting next to him only smiled politely but did not say anything. He answered Liman¡¯s Conjecture? That was just Tanaka¡¯s wishful thinking! Back then, Tanaka claimed to have solved Liman¡¯s Conjecture and even published the specific process of solving it on the internet. Many mathematicians immediately started their research and verification. They quickly discovered the problem. However, Tanaka refused to admit it and said that the calculation of others was wrong! No! Not only was Tanaka stubborn, but the entire mathematics world in that country was also the same! Others said that there was a problem with his calculations. The world of mathematics did not admit that he solved Liman¡¯s Conjecture? However, it did not matter to them! They acknowledged it! As a result, the mathematics community in their country announced that Tanaka had solved the world¡¯s difficult problem¡ªLiman¡¯s Conjecture! Hu Chuan also knew that many people were already dissatisfied, so he kept pacing back and forth. At this moment, Lin Fan finally walked over. ¡°Good, good. It¡¯s good that you¡¯re here,¡± Hu Chuan said excitedly. ¡°How are your preparations?¡± he asked. How are the preparations? Was it not just writing down more detailed steps to solve Zhou¡¯s Conjecture on the spot? What was there to prepare? ¡°I¡¯m ready,¡± Lin Fan replied casually. ¡°Alright, then you should go up quickly,¡± Hu Chuan said. The school leader who was giving a speech on stage also noticed Lin Fan¡¯s arrival. He smiled and said, ¡°I won¡¯t talk much. After all, the topic of this report is Zhou¡¯s Conjecture! ¡°Next, let¡¯s welcome Lin Fan, who solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, onto the stage!¡± Lin Fan strolled up the stage. When the mathematicians below saw this, they all frowned. ¡°He¡¯s Lin Fan?¡± ¡°Heavens! He¡¯s so young? You¡¯re not joking?¡± ¡­ Many mathematicians only knew that the person who solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture was from Hua Nation. Their first thought was that this Hua Nation man must be at least 40 or 50 years old. However, the mathematicians did not expect him to be so young. Chapter 91 ?91 Complete Zhou¡¯s Conjecture; Witness the Great Moment? Everyone present was a mathematician, and they knew very well that mathematics could not be achieved overnight. It required years of hard study. To solve Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, a problem that had troubled the world for more than a decade, one had to accumulate deep mathematical knowledge. This was obviously¡­ not something a young man in his 20s could do. ¡°A brat like him actually solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture?¡± asked Yamamoto Jiro with a sneer. ¡°I¡¯m afraid this was purposefully organized by Hua Nation.¡± The crowd frowned at his words. They all traveled thousands of miles just to listen to this report. If it was just a farce in the end, it would not be worth it. Jeffree also sighed and said, ¡°Let¡¯s hear it first.¡± Clearly, Jeffreee did not think Lin Fan would be successful. Lin Fan was just too young. Even the Ph.D. students under him were much older than Lin Fan. ¡­ At the edge of the auditorium. Nie Zhenjiang of Huaqing University stared at Lin Fan and said, ¡°I¡¯d like to see how you¡¯re going to answer Zhou¡¯s Conjecture!¡± Nie Zhenjiang had made a lot of preparations for this year¡¯s mathematical modeling competition. He thought¡­ The Higher Education Cup would be his, but it was suddenly snatched away by Lin Fan, who did not even participate in the oral defense. From Nie Zhenjiang¡¯s point of view, the reason why the judges gave Lin Fan the Higher Education Cup was that there were rumors that he had solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture. Nie Zhenjiang had always been brooding over this. Therefore, he specially came to Jiangbei from Jingbei yesterday afternoon. His goal was to personally see if Lin Fan had solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture. If he had not, then regarding the National Mathematical Modeling Competition¡­ Perhaps he would have to ask for an explanation. ¡­ In the middle of the hall. Hu Tian closed her notebook and her beautiful eyes fell on Lin Fan. She muttered in her heart, ¡®Lin Fan, how are you going to explain it?¡¯ At that moment, Lin Fan, who was standing on the stage, finally opened his mouth and said, ¡°Hello everyone. My name is Lin Fan. Next, I¡¯ll explain Zhou¡¯s Conjecture in detail.¡± Then, Lin Fan did not say anything more. He went to the electronic board and began to write down the detailed solution to Zhou¡¯s Conjecture. This was a major feature of mathematics reports. Even though some of them did not understand the same language and words, the numbers and symbols were universal. ¦ÐMp(22n)^¦ÐMp(22n-1)=2n^1¡­ (a) ¦ÐMp(22n)=2n+1^n-1 ¡­ At the start, the mathematicians were still suspicious of Lin Fan and looked down on him. However, as he wrote down the calculations step by step, everyone quickly put away their contempt and became serious! The group of mathematicians, from time to time, took out sheets of paper and pens to calculate. They would occasionally show a look of realization and even nod¡­ After writing down hundreds of detailed calculations, Lin Fan finally came up with the final answer. [Therefore, when 2^(2^n) < p < 2^(2^(n+1))), MP has 2^(n+1) -1 as a prime number.]Zhou''s Conjecture was finally proven!Under normal circumstances, a report would have ended here.However, Lin Fan did not stop.On the contrary, his writing speed increased.6[6NM+£¨M-N£©]-1=£¨6N+1£©£¨6M-1£©6X-1=q...All the mathematicians present were prepared to clap and cheer.However, after seeing this scene, they were all stunned."Why isn''t Lin Fan coming down yet?" Zhang Yong asked, puzzled. "Huh? He''s solving... the Twin Prime Number Conjecture?""This... This..." Hu Chuan''s eyes widened....Professor Barnedon''s cloudy eyes brightened slightly, and his expression became more focused."He''s solving the Twin Prime Number Conjecture on the spot? " Lancelot was surprised."Professor Edison and the others must be regretting not coming to Hua Nation," Jeffree said with a smile."Do you think he can successfully answer it?" Lancelot asked."Who knows? No one can guarantee that anyone can solve this difficult problem. However, we can still look forward to it," Jeffrey said."That''s right!" Lancelot nodded.Beside him, Yamamoto Jiro also could not help but sigh. "Not bad for a Hua Nation citizen."Japan was a country that worshipped the brave and the strong.Now, Lin Fan had written down the detailed process of Zhou''s Conjecture.After that, he was challenging another world-class problem.Without a doubt... He belonged to the strong!He was a powerhouse of the mathematics world!...At the edge of the auditorium.When Nie Zhenjiang saw the detailed process of Zhou''s Conjecture written by Lin Fan, he was completely convinced.It was normal for the mathematical modeling competition to award him the Higher Education Cup. After all, he was someone who solved Zhou''s Conjecture.When Nie Zhenjiang saw Lin Fan continue to write down the equations, his eyes immediately widened....In the middle of the auditorium.Hu Tian''s beautiful eyes were fixed on Lin Fan the entire time.In her eyes, Lin Fan was not even writing down the detailed process of Zhou''s Conjecture. He was just playing a beautiful piece of music on the spot.It was pleasant and charming!After he solved Zhou''s Conjecture, Lin Fan did not stop and started to solve the Twin Prime Number Conjecture.It was as if he was creating a shocking piece of music on the spot.Hu Tian''s heart began to beat faster and faster as he calculated.Time flowed like water.In the blink of an eye, four hours had passed.It was already three in the afternoon.The group of mathematicians had been sitting in the auditorium since the morning.Even though their stomachs were already rumbling with hunger, no one left to eat.Not to mention eating, they even rarely made visits to the washroom.They were afraid that they would miss a great moment if they left!Lin Fan did not care so much. He was still writing down calculations on the stage.In fact, at the start, Lin Fan only wanted to write down the process of solving Zhou''s Conjecture.However, as he wrote, he was completely focused, and his body could not help but write out the formula for the Twin Prime Number Conjecture.After another half an hour, Lin Fan''s writing suddenly slowed down.Seeing this...The mathematicians sitting in the audience could not help but discuss in low voices."He can''t do it?""As expected, it''s very difficult..."You can''t blame him for this."...Lin Fan, who was standing on the stage, was indeed in a difficult situation.In Lin Fan''s mind, what he was writing was not a formula. Instead, it was a path that led to the most beautiful scenery.However, this path was extremely rugged.At this moment, a huge rock was blocking the middle of the road.If he wanted to see the beautiful scenery in front of him, he had to move the stone!Now, he had already walked more than half of the way, and the beautiful scenery was right in front of him.Lin Fan did not want to give up!He had to think of every possible way to continue moving forward![Do you want to use the skill doubling card on Academician-Level Mathematics Experience? The doubling time is one hour.]"Yes!"Lin Fan reacted instinctively.At the same time, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan''s mind.[Ding! Absolute Focus activated. You''ve received a flash of inspiration!] Chapter 93 - 93 Teacher Tiantian’s Secret; Refuses to Be Interviewed 93 Teacher Tiantian¡¯s Secret; Refuses to Be Interviewed After a long time, Hu Tian finally spoke first, ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re the main character of today¡¯s banquet. Why are you out so early?¡± ¡°There¡¯ll probably be a press conference interviewing you later.¡± ¡°Then it¡¯s a good thing I came out early,¡± Lin Fan said. In the banquet hall, he was already getting a headache from all the questions from the mathematicians. If another group of reporters came¡­ Just thinking about it gave him a headache. Furthermore, Lin Fan had always liked to keep a low profile. Otherwise, Lin Fan would not have rejected the talent scout when he was eating with Hu Tian. Hu Tian smiled and said, ¡°It seems¡­ You¡¯re really not someone who wants to be famous.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good to be ordinary,¡± Lin Fan said. The two of them chatted as they walked, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. As she was too engrossed in their conversation, Hu Tian did not notice the steps in front of her and accidentally tripped. Lin Fan¡¯s eyes were sharp, and his hands were quick. He hurriedly reached out to hold Hu Tian¡¯s slender waist. The two of them looked at each other. Time¡­ It was as if the pause button had been pressed at this moment. Then, as if attracted by something, Hu Tian gently nodded and took the initiative to move closer. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ Today, Lin Fan arrived at Hu Tian¡¯s house. It was warm and simple. Perhaps it was because it was his first time here. Hu Tian and Lin Fan went to the balcony and the sofa. ¡­ He had no sleep tonight! In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning. Lin Fan looked at Hu Tian, who was lying on the bed like a little kitten. A faint smile appeared on his face. Then, he could not help but use the Eyes of Truth to observe her. [Face value: 98] [Favorability: 95] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan immediately understood. Yesterday, the person who triggered Charming Aura was actually Teacher Tiantian. No wonder she was so proactive earlier. At this moment, a small sparrow outside the window let out a melodious cry. Hu Tian finally opened her eyes slowly. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Yes, I am,¡± Hu Tian said. ¡°Just in time. I cooked some noodles. Let¡¯s get up and eat,¡± Lin Fan said. Hu Tian nodded. After washing up, the two of them went to the dining room. ¡°You must be wondering why I¡¯ve been avoiding you on purpose the past few days, right?¡± Hu Tian asked while eating her noodles. Lin Fan did have some feelings about this. Take the mathematical modeling competition as an example. Hu Tian was an expert in the mathematical modeling competition, but she specifically asked Zhang Yong to help her train. After that, Lin Fan never saw Hu Tian again. ¡°It was a little weird.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s because I have a girlfriend,¡± Hu Tian said. ¡°A girlfriend?¡± Lin Fan was obviously stunned. ¡°Do you mind?¡± Hu Tian asked cautiously. Lin Fan shook his head. Seeing this¡­ Hu Tian heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°Both of us don¡¯t want to get married. At first, I thought it would be good to continue like this, but I met you. ¡°That day, after I had dinner with you at Zhongshang Building, my feelings were at their strongest. ¡°I also met her on the same day. That made me waver, so I chose to avoid you. ¡°Because, in my opinion, if we don¡¯t see each other, I¡¯ll slowly forget about my feelings for you?¡± Lin Fan blinked his eyes and asked, ¡°Then why did you come looking for me?¡± ¡°Because I couldn¡¯t control my emotions anymore!¡± Hu Tian laughed. ¡°Also, I realized¡­ You already have a few girlfriends. I can continue being an unmarried person. I¡¯ve just changed my partner.¡± Lin Fan could not help but smile and rub his nose. After leaving Hu Tian¡¯s house, Lin Fan went straight into the Pagani Huayra. At this moment, his phone vibrated slightly. 12:00! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 5 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,000 yuan.] ¡­ Lin Fan earned a total of 34,511 yuan. ¡°Why have I only been receiving cash for the past few days?¡± Lin Fan asked helplessly. Then, he turned his attention to the system. [Do you want to open the five silver packets?] ¡°I won¡¯t get anything good from the normal red packet. Let¡¯s take a look at the silver packets,¡± Lin Fan said. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 700,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 800,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a 10x spending return card.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Expert-Level Tea Ceremony Skills.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 500,000 yuan.] From the five silver packets, Lin Fan received a total of two million yuan and a 10x spending return card. Lin Fan was not too bothered by all this. He immediately turned his attention to the Expert-Level Tea Ceremony Skills. [Expert-Level Tea Ceremony Skills: your every action when brewing and tasting tea is accurate and elegant, producing unlimited charm.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan pursed his lips and said helplessly, ¡°It really is a tea-drinking skill.¡± Then, he prepared to start the engine of the Pagani Huayra. At that moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Hu Chuan. Lin Fan picked up the call. ¡°Lin Fan, are you free later?¡± Hu Chuan asked. There was an unconcealable joy in his tone. It was obvious that Hu Chuan was in a good mood. This was normal¡­ After all, Hu Chuan was the Dean of the Mathematics Department at Jiangbei University. Someone from the School of Mathematics solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture. This would be of great benefit to him, the dean. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°There¡¯ll be someone from the TV station who wants to do an interview with you later¡­¡± However, before Hu Chuan could finish, Lin Fan interrupted, ¡°I¡¯m not interested in going for interviews. If you can, help me decline it.¡± Many people liked to appear on television because it was easier to make money when they were famous. The second reason was that no matter where they went, they could call for a crowd. However, Lin Fan did not want that. Earn money? Lin Fan had more than enough money to spend. Be followed by a group of people everywhere he went? That was even more of a reason for Lin Fan to dislike interviews. Now, he just wanted to enjoy life in peace. There was no sound from the phone for a while. It was obvious that Lin Fan¡¯s answer had completely exceeded Hu Chuan¡¯s expectations. That was an interview with a television station! Countless people would be proud to appear on television! Lin Fan rejected it? After a long while, Hu Chuan said, ¡°Oh¡­ Oh, okay.¡± Hu Chuan did not try to persuade Lin Fan. Although he had not spent much time interacting with Lin Fan, he also understood that Lin Fan was someone who had his own thoughts and did not like to be restricted. What if¡­ Lin Fan got annoyed with him and even left Jiangbei University because of it? That would really be a loss that outweighed the gain. Hu Chuan thought for a while and said, ¡°The People¡¯s Daily¡­ They might also report about you¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for an interview, right?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°No need, no need,¡± Hu Chuan hurriedly said. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯m hanging up.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Hu Chuan continued, ¡°If you don¡¯t like to be interviewed, I¡¯ll try my best not to let the news media disturb you in the future.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you,¡± Lin Fan said. After that, he hung up the phone. Chapter 94 ?94 Congratulations; Explanation When Lin Fan entered the classroom, many students¡¯ gazes were focused on him. Lin Fan did not mind it too much and sat down. Zheng Jinbao could not help but ask, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, I heard that¡­ not only did you solve Zhou¡¯s Conjecture yesterday, but you also solved the Twin Prime Number Conjecture?¡± Yesterday¡¯s report was very high-profile. Even ordinary teachers were unable to participate, let alone ordinary students. Zheng Jinbao and the others did not go either. However, they had obviously heard some rumors. ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan replied. His tone was so relaxed as if he had just done a very ordinary and small thing. However, to everyone¡¯s ears, it sounded like a thunderclap. Everyone looked at Lin Fan as if they were looking at a god, the God of Learning! ¡°Brother Lin Fan, I¡¯ll kneel down to you!¡± Zheng Jinbo, Song Yi, and Ma Zhong all shouted in unison. In fact, they were not the only ones who wanted to kneel. All the students in the class wanted to kneel to him. That was Zhou¡¯s conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture! The average person would not be able to understand it even if they read it, let alone answer it! Lin Fan could not help but laugh. Then, Zheng Jinbao quickly took out a small notebook and said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, can I get an autograph? Please give me your autograph!¡± Lin Fan took a pen and signed his name. Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and even all the students in the class followed suit, holding books and asking for autographs. One must know that Lin Fan had solved two previously unsolved math questions. His autograph would definitely be extremely hard to come by in the future! Suddenly, the entire classroom was a mess. Ding! Ding! After the ear-piercing school bell rang, the class slowly returned to normal. It was the old professor¡¯s class again. His way of teaching was always slow, like a lullaby. Very quickly, Lin Fan was sent to sleep. The old professor was very casual in class and rarely cared about class discipline. However, he had taken note of the students¡¯ performance and remembered it in his heart. The students who often slept in class and played with their mobile phones had long been listed in the old professor¡¯s small notebook. He would settle the score with them during the final exams. Lin Fan, who slept every day, was given a ¡®death sentence¡¯ by the old professor. The old professor had already made up his mind that he would directly fail Lin Fan at the end of the term. However, the old professor was looking at Lin Fan with admiration at this moment. He thought, ¡®He must¡¯ve been working till late at night to solve Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture!¡¯ Thinking of this, the old professor slowly walked down from the podium, took off his coat, and put it on Lin Fan. This kind of person who worked so hard for mathematics must not be left to freeze in the cold! ¡­ p AndD nOve1.cO,m Nie Zhenjiang was indeed a top student. He did not waste any time. After he got off the plane, he did not even return to his dormitory. Instead, he went straight to the laboratory and studied and researched seriously. ¡°Add a decimal point to the back of the value. ¡°Re-verify! ¡°Calculate the trajectory! ¡­ Sonorous and powerful voices reverberated in the laboratory. Nie Zhenjiang was full of energy and fighting spirit! At this moment, a round-faced man swiped his phone as he slowly walked in. The next moment, the round-faced man said in surprise, ¡°F*ck! Zhenjiang, Jingbei is using the sewer design from the mathematical modeling competition you participated in!¡± ¡°This is too awesome!¡± He took the round-faced man¡¯s phone and quickly looked through it. When he finished looking at the design, a look of surprise appeared on his face. It was perfect! In the mathematical modeling competition, Nie Zhenjiang chose to design a house. This did not mean that he did not know how to design sewers. However, even if he had chosen to design the sewerage system, he would not have been able to come up with such a perfect design! This was a design that far exceeded his own! In fact, Nie Zhenjiang felt that even his mentor would not be able to design a sewerage system like this. Finally, Nie Zhenjiang¡¯s eyes slowly fell on the designer in the bottom corner. [Lin Fan, Xia Bing, and Xia Xue.] Nie Zhenjiang was stunned. It was them! At this moment, Nie Zhenjiang finally understood that the judges of the mathematical modeling competition did not do make their choice because Lin Fan solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture. The Higher Education Cup was awarded to him for the rightful reason. It was because Lin Fan¡¯s mathematical modeling did have the qualifications! ¡°Lin Fan, just how strong are you?¡± Nie Zhenjiang mumbled. ¡­ Lin Fan naturally did not know what Nie Zhenjiang was thinking. He slept more comfortably than usual. After school, Lin Fan greeted Zheng Jinbao and the rest, then headed straight to Yi Ke City. As usual, Lin Fan opened the door of room 2501. At this moment, two fireworks exploded above Lin Fan¡¯s head. The bright red ribbons floated down like snowflakes. Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling shouted in unison, ¡°Congratulations on solving Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture!¡± Obviously, they had already seen the news report. At this moment, Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling were looking at Lin Fan with a look of adoration. In their hearts, winning the Higher Education Cup made Lin Fan a god-like figure. Not only did Lin Fan win the Higher Education Cup, but he also solved two unsolved math problems in the world. Was he still a top student? He was more like the emperor of all students! This was simply¡­ He was an existence that they could not imagine! It was nighttime. Yi Ke City, Room 2501. The place shook for the whole night. Lin Fan did not sleep the entire night! ¡­ If Washington Palace was the most expensive building in the school district in Jiangbei¡­ The Heaven and Earth Imperial Garden was the most expensive residential building in Jiangbei city center. Not only was the location of Heaven and Earth Imperial Garden excellent, but there were also many office buildings and subway stations outside. The environment of the community was also very good. The overall European garden landscape was magnificent and gorgeous. It looked just like a park¡­ It was rare to see such a place in the center of Jiangbei city. At that moment, Hu Tian was driving her Mini Cooper into Heaven and Earth Imperial Garden with great familiarity. With a pleasant sound, the door to the unit on the 23rd floor slowly opened. A beautiful woman in a long black dress walked out. She had fair skin and an excellent figure. When she saw that the person was Hu Tian, a smile appeared on her pretty face. She quickly welcomed Hu Tian in. After the door was closed, the beauty immediately opened her arms and threw herself into Hu Tian¡¯s embrace. She said happily, ¡°Tiantian, I¡¯ve been waiting for you for a long time.¡± However, the beauty soon noticed the abnormality. ¡°Tiantian, something seems off about you today. Did something happen?¡± Hu Tian hesitated for a moment before finally saying, ¡°I have something to tell you. I¡¯ve found a man I like.¡± Silence. The entire house suddenly fell into silence. ¡­ Chapter 95 - 95 Edisons Regret; Heading to the Temple 95 Edison¡¯s Regret; Heading to the Temple In the United States, Poston. Before he arrived, laughter could be heard. ¡°Professor Edison, it¡¯s a pity that you didn¡¯t go to Jiangbei, Hua Nation!¡± Jeffree laughed. Edison put down the book in his hand and asked, ¡°Jeffree, did that Hua Nation man really solve the Twin Prime Number Conjecture?¡± Jeffree told Edison the good news on the phone before he boarded the plane. Due to time constraints, Jeffree only gave a brief explanation, and Edison did not know the details. Even so, it still made Edison extremely excited. Jeffree sighed in admiration. ¡°He did more than just that. He even answered it at the venue of the report! ¡°You know what? Mr. Lin Fan is only in his 20s! ¡°Heavens! I thought he was the God of Mathematics!¡± Jeffree¡¯s tone became high. Jeffree could not help but feel excited whenever he thought of that scene. Edison¡¯s old face also revealed a look of fascination. ¡°If I had known earlier, I would have put down everything on hand and made a trip to Hua Nation!¡± He sighed. After a pause, he asked again, ¡°By the way, why didn¡¯t you stay in Hua Nation longer? You could¡¯ve discussed more with Mr. Lin Fan.¡± He was a mathematician who solved both Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture at the same time. No one could imagine how advanced he was in mathematics! It was definitely a good thing to discuss mathematics with someone like him! Jeffree said helplessly, ¡°I also wanted to¡­ But he can¡¯t speak English, and I¡­ I can¡¯t speak his language.¡± Edison nodded in understanding. A language barrier was indeed a very troublesome matter. ¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯m planning to start learning the language,¡± Jeffree said. ¡°The next time I see Lin Fan, I¡¯ll be able to communicate and discuss with him.¡± ¡°Professor Edison, do you want to join us?¡± Edison opened his mouth. Finally, he sighed helplessly and said, ¡°I think I¡¯ll pass. Chinese is one of the most difficult languages to master in the world. ¡°I¡¯m getting old. I¡¯m afraid I don¡¯t have the energy to master it now. ¡°Lin Fan is still young. Who knows? He might be able to master English soon.¡± ¡­ The next day. When a warm ray of sunlight shone on the balcony, Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. He casually glanced at his phone and saw a text message appear on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 1,410,000 yuan was deposited into your account at 12 AM.] Then, Lin Fan slowly got up and walked out. At this time, the dining table was already filled with fragrant noodles, eggs, milk, egg pancakes, and other food. Qiu Ziqian, who was busy in the kitchen, smiled and said, ¡°Honey, you¡¯re awake? Hurry up and eat something.¡± ¡°Try it and see if it suits your taste,¡± Huang Ling stuck out her head and said. Lin Fan took a bite of the noodles and praised, ¡°Delicious!¡± His praise filled the hearts of Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian with a sweet feeling. After breakfast. ¡°Honey, I heard that there¡¯s a large-scale ritual at the Hero Mountain Temple today,¡± Qiu Ziqian said. ¡°Shall we go burn some incense and walk around?¡± When Huang Ling heard this, she could not help but look at Lin Fan with a look of anticipation. Obviously, she wanted to go too. Lin Fan was the same as most people today. He had never believed in any gods or Buddha. However, it was the weekend, and it was a good idea to go out with Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go to the temple to burn some incense.¡± He nodded. When Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling heard this, their pretty faces revealed a touch of joy. The Pagani Huayra could only seat two people, so they were driving Qiu Ziqian¡¯s Mini Cooper today. The temple was located in the suburbs of Jiangbei. However, along the way, there were trees and flowers, which were quite pleasing to the eye. As they neared the temple, the number of vehicles around them increased. It even caused a long congestion. Obviously, everyone had come after hearing about it. About an hour later, the three of them arrived at the parking lot and walked toward the temple. After walking for a while, Hero Mountain appeared in front of Lin Fan and the others. It was said that this place was not called Hero Mountain in the past. It was changed because a hero had sworn to guard this place with his life during the war and protected the villagers. Lin Fan stopped in his tracks and looked at the stone tablet. Then, he continued walking forward. At this moment, there were clearly more people around. Some of them had pious expressions on their faces, while others were talking and laughing¡­ All of them headed toward the temple where the faint sound of prayers could be heard. The temple was very grand and imposing. A huge golden Buddha sat in it, and several monks sat below, chanting Buddhist scriptures and knocking on the wooden blocks from time to time, adding a touch of solemnity and mystery to the temple. Many people stood in the distance and bowed three times before inserting the tall incense sticks into the huge incense burner. Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling also bought incense sticks and came to the incense burner. At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side. ¡°Lin Fan?¡± Lin Fan slowly turned around and said in shock, ¡°Sun Luguo? I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here.¡± The person who had come was the young master of the Sun family¡¯s medical company, Sun Luguo. He lost to Lin Fan in a car race and gave Lin Fan a hundred-year-old Ganoderma. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it either!¡± Sun Luguo laughed. The dignified and beautiful girl holding Sun Luguo¡¯s arm said, ¡°Luguo, this is¡­¡± ¡°Oh, this is Lin Fan. I told you about him last time. He¡¯s really good at Go.¡± Sun Luguo introduced, ¡°Lin Fan, this is my girlfriend, Fan Wenxiang.¡± When Fan Wenxiang heard this, a look of curiosity appeared on her face. From top to bottom, she sized Lin Fan up once more. ¡°So you¡¯re Lin Fan? Luguo has mentioned you a lot to me,¡± Fan Wenxiang said with a smile. ¡°Nice to meet you, I¡¯m Lin Fan.¡± Lin Fan smiled. After a pause, he prepared to introduce Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling. However, he did not know how to introduce them. Should be¡­ Should he just say that they were his girlfriends? Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling seemed to understand Lin Fan¡¯s dilemma. Thus, they took the initiative to introduce themselves. ¡°I¡¯m Lin Fan¡¯s friend, Huang Ling.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Qiu Ziqian.¡± In the beginning, they were not familiar with each other, so the atmosphere was a little dull. However, after the conversation started, the few of them began to talk and laugh, and the atmosphere became very relaxed and happy. On the side of the temple was a wish corridor, which was filled with wish tablets written by tourists. The few of them also bought wish tablets and wrote down their wishes. Qiu Ziqian: [I hope the people I love and the people who love me will always be safe and healthy!] Huang Ling: [I hope everyone will be happy and joyful!] Lin Fan took the pen and pondered for a while. Then, he wrote down a line of words: [May we live long and share an abundance of joy!] His brush moved like dragons and snakes, light and free! At this moment, a deep voice suddenly rang out from the side, ¡°Excellent calligraphy!¡± Chapter 96 - 96 Conversation; The Little Boy Who Suddenly Became Seriously Ill 96 Conversation; The Little Boy Who Suddenly Became Seriously Ill When Lin Fan heard this, he could not help but look to the side. He saw¡­ A white-haired old man over 80 years old looking at him. He was not like an ordinary old man who had a hunched back and looked old. On the contrary¡­ He had a pair of tiger-like eyes, and his back was straight. His whole body was filled with a majestic aura. Lin Fan looked at the wish tablet in the old man¡¯s hand that read, ¡®Permanent health!¡¯ ¡°The writing style is continuous, the energy is smooth, and it¡¯s strong and powerful¡­ Your face and calligraphy are both very good!¡± Lin Fan nodded and said. ¡°Oh?¡± The old man could not help but size Lin Fan up and praised him, ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve met a young man who has good calligraphy and knows how to analyze! Not bad!¡± Lin Fan could feel a sense of familiarity from the old man, like that of a grandfather. Thus, they began to chat. ¡°I don¡¯t think you¡¯re a local, right? Are you here for a vacation?¡± Lin Fan asked. The old man looked into the distance and said, ¡°You can consider it a vacation, but I¡¯m a local of Jiangbei.¡± Lin Fan found it a little weird when he heard that. A local¡­ Why did he say he was traveling, then? ¡°Your hometown is Jiangbei?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Yup! I haven¡¯t been back for decades, and the changes are too great! Things aren¡¯t the same as people!¡± The old man sighed. Sun Luguo and Fan Wenxiang had already hung up their wish tablets. When they heard the sounds, they slowly turned around. At first glance, they saw four burly men who exuded an aura of iron and blood. Sun Luguo and Fan Wenxiang were both from large families, so they knew very well that these four men were definitely not ordinary people. They could not help but feel a little surprised. Then, they looked at Lin Fan and the old man. When he saw the old man, Sun Luguo¡¯s pupils suddenly shrank, and a hint of shock appeared on his face. Sun Luguo graduated from Huaqing University. A few months ago, when Huaqing University held its anniversary celebration, the old man¡¯s congratulatory video was played at the opening ceremony. He was the pillar of Hua Nation! Now, he actually appeared in front of him? No wonder there were four burly men standing around the old man. They should be protecting the old man¡¯s safety. Sun Luguo swallowed his saliva, his entire person already at a loss. Qiu Ziqian, Huang Ling, and the others did not notice the change in Sun Luguo. They lowered their heads and looked at the ten-year-old boy who had been hugging the old man¡¯s leg. The boy had delicate features, and he looked like the old man. He was obviously his grandson. Qiu Ziqian saw that the boy was a little shy, so she bent over and greeted him with a smile, ¡°Hello,¡± The boy scratched his head and twisted his body in a very strange way. Then, he opened his mouth, letting his saliva flow out. He looked very dull and silly. Seeing this, some deep memories surfaced in Qiu Ziqian¡¯s mind. She used to have a younger brother, but he had autism. He was very afraid of strangers, did not communicate with others, and was often dazed¡­ However, Qiu Ziqian still had a good relationship with her brother. She taught him to sing and draw every day¡­ He was very happy. However, one day, her brother suddenly rushed out of the house. At that moment, a truck passed by. Hence¡­ That was how the tragedy began. Qiu Ziqian¡¯s eyes reddened at the thought. ¡°Old man, what¡¯s wrong with our little friend?¡± Huang Ling could not help asking. ¡°I don¡¯t know what happened, but a year ago, he suddenly became like this.¡± The old man sighed. As he spoke, the old man also lowered his head to look at the little boy, his face full of affection. ¡°Didn¡¯t you bring him to the hospital?¡± Huang Ling asked again. ¡°I¡¯ve been to many hospitals, but I still can¡¯t find out the cause,¡± the old man said. Right at this moment, the little boy¡¯s body suddenly convulsed violently, and he even spat out a mouthful of white foam. ¡°No!¡± The old man¡¯s expression changed drastically as he shouted, ¡°Quick, come and see how Hao¡¯er is doing!¡± The middle-aged man standing behind him hurried forward and called out, ¡°Hurry up and hold his hands and feet. Don¡¯t let him move!¡± Two burly men quickly held down the boy¡¯s limbs. How powerful were they? Even a male lion would not be able to move, let alone a little boy. The other two burly men looked around vigilantly, preventing any random people from getting close. The middle-aged man quickly took out a tube of medicine from his bag and injected it into the little boy¡¯s arm. The effect of the medicine was immediate, and the little boy soon stopped twitching. It was obvious that the middle-aged man was a doctor. Just as the doctor heaved a sigh of relief, the foam at the corner of the little boy¡¯s mouth did not decrease. On the contrary¡­ there was even more! Then, the little boy¡¯s breathing gradually slowed down, and his heartbeat became weak¡­ The doctor¡¯s expression changed drastically when he saw this. He quickly pressed on the little boy¡¯s chest, then injected some other drugs¡­ However, they had no effect at all! In fact, the little boy was getting weaker and weaker, like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any time. The anxious-looking old man asked, ¡°How¡¯s Hao¡¯er?¡± At this moment, the doctor¡¯s forehead was already covered in sweat. ¡°Yuhao¡¯s condition is very bad,¡± he said in a panic. ¡°I don¡¯t have enough medicine and equipment here. It¡¯s best to go to a big hospital as soon as possible. Otherwise¡­¡± He did not continue. However, the old man knew very well what he meant. The old man suddenly turned around and looked at the dense crowd and crowded vehicles below the temple. He did not let his men carry the little boy down the mountain to drive to a hospital immediately because it would be a waste of time! He quickly took out his phone and made a call. ¡°My grandson is sick in Hero Mountain Temple. Send a helicopter over immediately!¡± After that, he hung up the phone. Then, the old man looked at the little boy with concern and concern. The atmosphere became tense and heavy. Although the old man did not say anything else, it only made the doctor more nervous and flustered. He knew the old man¡¯s identity very well, and the boy in front of him was the old man¡¯s only grandson. If something were to happen in his hands, the consequences¡­ Just thinking about it made the doctor¡¯s back sweat. The people in the distance had also noticed the situation. However, they were being stared at by two burly men. It was as if they were being stared at by two lions, so they did not dare to get close at all. This gave the doctor enough space to treat him. However, just as the doctor had said, there was indeed too little medicine and equipment here. At this moment, the little boy suddenly rolled his eyes upward, and his entire face turned pale. ¡°Hao¡¯er!¡± The old man, who would not change his expression even if a mountain were to collapse in front of him, could not help but shout. Qiu Ziqian, who was standing at the side, felt the same way and shed tears. Lin Fan, who had not said anything all this time, finally spoke, ¡°I can save him!¡± Chapter 97 - 97 Saved; Good Leader! 97 Saved; Good Leader! Lin Fan was not a good person who would save anyone he saw. However¡­ Firstly, he had a pleasant conversation with the old man, and Lin Fan felt like he was his grandfather. Secondly, Qiu Ziqian¡¯s heart ached for the boy. That was why Lin Fan chose to make a move. Sun Luguo, who had been standing at the side and had not spoken from the beginning to the end, suddenly had a change in expression. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to remind Lin Fan of something. However, he did not make a sound. Sun Luguo knew the old man¡¯s identity, and the boy in front of him was his grandson. Of course, it was a good thing if he could be cured! However, what if he could not be cured, or if something happened to the boy¡­ The consequences would be too terrifying! Lin Fan was only a student at Jiangbei University. The little boy¡¯s condition was so bad that even the old man¡¯s doctor could not do anything. How could Lin Fan treat him? In Sun Luguo¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan was really too rash! The old man looked at the boundless sky and then at his grandson, whose face was getting uglier and uglier. Finally, he locked his gaze onto Lin Fan. If an ordinary person were to be stared at by the old man like this, they would definitely tremble and become extremely flustered. However, Lin Fan was still calm and composed. ¡°Go ahead and treat him. I won¡¯t blame you even if something goes wrong!¡± The old man took a deep breath. This was the first time Lin Fan and the old man had met. Furthermore, Lin Fan was so young. Despite the old man¡¯s identity, he still allowed treatment¡­ It had to be said that the old man¡¯s magnanimity was indeed far superior to ordinary people! Lin Fan let out a look of surprise as well. At that moment, the doctor who was treating the little boy could not help but look at Lin Fan and frown. The truth was that Lin Fan looked way too young. Being a doctor required one to have a very profound field of knowledge. It required years of study and practice to achieve a certain level of success. It was obvious that Lin Fan did not have the qualifications to do so. However, this was the old man¡¯s request, so he still said, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you about the patient¡¯s condition first¡­¡± ¡°Say no more.¡± Lin Fan waved his hand. Then, he spent ten million yuan to buy a bottle of Medical Water from the system and was about to pour it into the little boy¡¯s mouth. ¡°What kind of medicine is this?¡± the doctor hurriedly stopped him. The boy was in a very dangerous situation. Any mistake could lead to his death. Lin Fan was young, and he did not even ask about the boy¡¯s illness. He directly gave the boy the medicine. How could the doctor not be worried? Lin Fan did not reply and just looked at the old man. The old man frowned and said, ¡°Dr. Huang, can you think of any other way? If not, let him treat Hao¡¯er!¡± The old man had agreed to let Lin Fan treat the boy. In that case, the old man had to be bold enough to see it happen! The doctor¡¯s heart trembled, and he did not dare to stop Lin Fan anymore. Lin Fan poured the Medical Water into the little boy¡¯s mouth. Instantly, everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on the little boy. The old man, Qiu Ziqian, and the others were concerned and worried. They hoped that the little boy could get better! Sun Luguo was afraid. He was afraid that the boy¡¯s condition would worsen again! Not long after, the little boy, who had been constantly rolling his eyes upward, finally recovered. Then, his mouth gradually stopped frothing. The next second, the little boy¡¯s breathing and heartbeat started to calm down. He lay on the ground as if he had fallen asleep. Seeing this¡­ Everyone¡¯s face revealed a hint of joy. The little boy¡­ It seemed like he was fine! ¡°How¡¯s Hao¡¯er doing?¡± the old man asked. The doctor hurriedly checked and said, ¡°He¡¯s already¡­ He¡¯s already passed the danger.¡± After saying that, the doctor looked at Lin Fan in disbelief. As the old man¡¯s personal doctor, he knew very well how bad the boy¡¯s physical condition was. Even if the boy stopped breathing the next second, the doctor would not be surprised. However, he was cured in the blink of an eye after drinking a bottle of medicine? This was simply a divine medicine! The doctor opened his mouth. He wanted to ask Lin Fan what kind of medicine it was, but he did not say it. The old man understood that this was all Lin Fan¡¯s work. ¡°Thank you for saving Hao¡¯er!¡± the old man said solemnly. The doctor, the four burly men standing around, and Sun Luguo were all shocked! The old man¡­ He actually personally thanked him! What kind of honor was this? Lin Fan waved his hand casually. ¡°I just did a small favor. There¡¯s no need to be polite.¡± The little boy slowly opened his eyes. He first covered his eyes with his hands, then struggled to sit up. The doctor beside him quickly helped him up. The little boy looked around. His eyes were not as dull and lifeless as before but full of curiosity. In the end, the little boy¡¯s gaze fell on the old man in front of him. He asked, ¡°Grandpa, where are we?¡± Grandpa! He actually called him ¡®Grandpa!¡¯ Ever since he fell sick a year ago, he had never called him ¡®Grandpa!¡¯ The old man¡¯s aged face flushed red. He was happy and excited! When his grandson suddenly fell ill, the old man sought out countless famous doctors. However, it was of no use. Perhaps the old man was too worried about his grandson¡¯s illness. A few days ago, he suddenly dreamed that Buddha had appeared in his hometown¡¯s temple and cured his grandson¡¯s illness. The old man had always been an atheist. However, after staying in the capital for so many years, he was a little bored. It was not a bad idea to bring his grandson back to his hometown for a walk. Then, the scene today happened. However, the old man did not expect that his grandson would really be cured! ¡°This is great! Yuhao, it¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine!¡± the old man cried out in excitement. Then, he looked at Lin Fan and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t introduced myself. My name is Qin Weiming! Little Brother, what¡¯s your name?¡± The surrounding people were shocked again! Qin Weiming was introducing himself to a young man? Sun Luguo looked at Lin Fan with eyes full of envy! At the same time, he decided that he would work hard to build a good relationship with Lin Fan. Qin Weiming? Lin Fan¡¯s face was filled with a weird expression. He vaguely remembered that there was a hero monument on the way to the temple. The name on the monument seemed to be Qin Weiming. ¡°I¡¯m Lin Fan.¡± At this time, an army green helicopter suddenly appeared in the sky. When the crowd saw that the little boy had been rescued, they could not help but slowly disperse. Now that they suddenly saw a helicopter in the sky, they stopped and looked up again. When they saw that the helicopter was getting closer and closer to them, they all made way. Soon, two tall, middle-aged men with badges on their shoulders came out of the helicopter. They quickly came to Qin Weiming, stood at attention, saluted, and shouted, ¡°Good day, Leader!¡± Chapter 98 - 98 Come Over to My Place If You’re Free; Can’t Help but Be Amazed 98 Come Over to My Place If You¡¯re Free; Can¡¯t Help but Be Amazed Qin Weiming put his hands behind his back and nodded. Now, his grandson had recovered. His entire person also felt much more relaxed. Qin Weiming looked around and saw that more and more ordinary people were looking at him. He understood¡­ It was no longer appropriate for him to continue staying here. Hence, he brought his grandson and headed for the helicopter. However, before Qin Weiming left, he said to Lin Fan, ¡°Little Brother Lin, if you¡¯re free, why don¡¯t you come over to my place?¡± The two men with badges on their shoulders could not help but look at Lin Fan in shock. Old Qin was actually so polite to a young man? Lin Fan had never taken a helicopter before. After hearing Qin Weiming¡¯s words, he was tempted. However, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned to Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling, ready to say something. Qiu Ziqian said, ¡°Lin Fan, you can go with them. Huang Ling and I will drive the car back.¡± Huang Ling nodded in agreement. No matter how stupid they were, they knew that Qin Weiming had a terrifying background. Now that Lin Fan had saved Qin Weiming¡¯s grandson¡¯s life, they were sure that something good would happen. They did not want Lin Fan to miss this chance. Sun Luguo said, ¡°That¡¯s right, Lin Fan. Just go. I¡¯ll definitely send your two friends back safely!¡± Now, as long as Sun Luguo could find an opportunity to interact with Lin Fan, he would not miss it. ¡°Alright then.¡± Lin Fan nodded. Then, Lin Fan boarded the helicopter. There was a huge difference between a helicopter and a passenger plane. One had to wear headphones when sitting in it. Otherwise, the rumbling sounds could simply burst one¡¯s eardrums. Sitting in the helicopter and looking at the scenery outside was far better than doing the same on a passenger plane. There were layers of clouds, buildings the size of sesame seeds, and square fields¡­ All of these gave people a different feeling. Not long after, Lin Fan arrived at a manor with a beautiful scenery. Soon, a group of doctors in white coats surrounded Qin Yuhao. They took his pulse, listened to his voice, drew his blood, and took an X-ray¡­ Soon, a stack of information appeared in the hands of the doctors. In the end, the old doctor with gray hair walked to Qin Weiming and said, ¡°Old Leader, other than slight malnourishment, Yuhao¡¯s body is basically fine.¡± With Qin Weiming¡¯s status, he would not let his grandson go hungry. However, in the past year, his grandson had been in a sluggish state, often drooling and not eating¡­ Over time, this caused him to be a little malnourished. At this moment, a man with a badge on his shoulder walked up and handed over a stack of documents. At the top of the information, there were two words¡ª¡¯Lin Fan!¡¯ Qin Weiming flipped through it quickly and mumbled, ¡°So, he¡¯s the one who saved Zhou Guotao¡­ A young mathematician? Oh? The captain of Dragon Division Team 10! No wonder he has such an ability!¡± In such a short period of time, he was able to gather Lin Fan¡¯s information. One had to admit that Qin Weiming¡¯s methods were indeed impressive! At that moment, Lin Fan was sitting under a big tree in the courtyard, enjoying the scenery in the distance. He was extremely relaxed. Qin Weiming held Qin Yuhao¡¯s hand and looked from afar. ¡°As expected of the captain of Dragon Division Team 10!¡± He did say that Lin Fan did not have to be restrained here and just treat it as his own home. However, if it were someone else, they would definitely be extremely nervous. After all, Qin Weiming had already revealed his identity, and there were many sentries standing outside the courtyard. ¡°Little Brother Lin, what do you think of my grandson¡¯s condition?¡± Qin Weiming asked as he walked forward. Lin Fan said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry. He¡¯s fine.¡± Even though the doctor had said that Qin Yuhao had recovered after many examinations, he was still in a bad state. Thus, Qin Weiming was still a little worried. However, Lin Fan had not even taken a look at Qin Yuhao but said that he was fine, which made Qin Weiming feel completely at ease. A kind smile appeared on his stern face. At this moment, the water at the side was boiling. Lin Fan first poured boiling water into the purple clay teapot. Then, he slowly put in the tea leaves and then brewed them with warm water. He filtered it¡­ After it was boiled, a unique fragrance began to spread. Lin Fan picked up the lid and gently wiped away the tea foam. He also used a clean towel to wipe the water stains at the bottom of the pot. He turned the teacup upside down and turned it over. When he opened the lid, the fragrance of the tea became even stronger¡­ Finally, Lin Fan poured the tea into a cup and said, ¡°Please.¡± When Qin Weiming, who was sitting opposite him, saw this, his cloudy eyes lit up slightly. He praised him, ¡°Little Brother Lin, I didn¡¯t expect you to be proficient in brewing tea in addition to your good calligraphy. It¡¯s really rare!¡± When he was young, Qin Weiming was a decisive person. However, after he grew old and stayed in the sanatorium, his temper grew mild. Every day, he would write, drink tea, and play chess¡­ He was carefree. This was normal. After all, if he did not do these things, Qin Weiming would not know what to do every day. After all these years of the same routine, he had a certain vision and achievements in brewing tea, calligraphy, and other aspects. Thus, he could easily recognize how extraordinary Lin Fan was. Qin Weiming held the teacup and took a sip. His face was full of enjoyment. Beside him, Qin Yuhao could not help but pour a cup of tea into his mouth when he saw his grandfather drinking it so happily. However, Qin Yuhao quickly spat it out and shouted, ¡°It¡¯s so bitter!¡± Lin Fan and Qin Weiming could not help but burst out laughing. ¡°Little Brother Lin, do you know how to play chess?¡± Qin Weiming asked. ¡°I know a little,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s play a round!¡± Qin Weiming said. Lin Fan had Professional Chess Skills, while Qin Weiming was a chess expert. In the beginning, both of them played very quickly, each having their own advantages and disadvantages. However, as time passed, Qin Weiming¡¯s speed gradually slowed down while Lin Fan¡¯s speed remained the same. ¡°General!¡± Lin Fan said as he smirked. Qin Weiming stared at the chessboard for a long time and sighed. ¡°Amazing!¡± Instantly, his gaze on Lin Fan was filled with even more admiration. Not only did he have excellent calligraphy skills, but he also knew how to make tea. Even his chess skills were so exquisite¡­ Was there anything he did not know? At this time, the middle-aged man with the badge on his shoulder strode over and saluted, ¡°The leader of Jiang province has brought a group of officials down the mountain. Would you like to meet them?¡± Qin Weiming took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. ¡°Since they¡¯re here, then let¡¯s meet.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± the middle-aged man said. Soon, a large group of men and women in white shirts, exuding the aura of superiors, quickly walked over. When they saw Qin Weiming, they cupped their hands and said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Old Qin!¡± Chapter 99 - 99 Jiangbei Grand Hotel; Who Is He? 99 Jiangbei Grand Hotel; Who Is He? After a long while, the middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses standing in front said, ¡°Elder Qin, I¡¯m sorry¡­ We didn¡¯t welcome you in time when you came.¡± ¡°You¡¯re Lil Hong, right?¡± Qin Weiming waved his hand. ¡°Yes, four years ago, my father and I visited you in Jingbei once,¡± Hong Hanlin said. ¡°Yes, I have some impression.¡± Qin Weiming nodded and said. Hong Hanlin said, ¡°Although we haven¡¯t seen each other for four years, you¡¯re still the same. You haven¡¯t changed at all.¡± ¡°You¡¯re just like Old Hong, always looking for nice things to say!¡± Qin Weiming said. ¡°I¡­ I was just speaking the truth,¡± Hong Hanlin said. The two of them chatted for a while, and the atmosphere was quite carefree. Hong Hanlin said, ¡°Elder Qin, we¡¯ve prepared a banquet to welcome you to Jiang province. Are you free?¡± Qin Weiming touched his stomach. ¡°Speaking of food, I¡¯m a little hungry. Alright, let¡¯s go!¡± Everyone was overjoyed when they heard that. It was definitely an honor to be able to have a meal with Qin Weiming. ¡­ Not long after, Qin Weiming and the others arrived at Jiangbei Grand Hotel. Jiangbei Grand Hotel was not the most luxurious hotel in Jiang province. However, it was definitely one of the restaurants with the most profound background in Jiang province! Every time an important figure arrived in Jiang province, they would choose to have a meal at Jiangbei Grand Hotel. The hotel had the freshest ingredients and the best chefs. The color, fragrance, taste, and nutritional value of the food were ensured! An ordinary person could book a luxury hotel as long as they had enough money. As for Jiangbei Grand Hotel, it was not just about money. At this moment, several large round tables were placed in the huge banquet hall. Without a doubt, Qin Weiming sat in the innermost seat. Then, he waved into the distance and said, ¡°Lin Fan, sit beside me.¡± Lin Fan did not stand on ceremony and directly sat down. In his opinion, no matter where he sat, the food he ate was the same. When everyone saw this, they were all surprised. Before this, they had thought that Lin Fan was just Qin Weiming¡¯s subordinate. From the looks of it now, it was not that simple! Soon, a series of exquisitely-made and fragrant dishes were slowly served. Hong Hanlin raised his wine glass high and said, ¡°In the past, Elder Qin gave your all to protect Jiang province! It can be said that the prosperity of Jiang province is all due to Elder Qin¡¯s efforts¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s thank Elder Qin for his contribution back then. At the same time, we welcome him to Jiang province!¡± Hong Hanlin said. ¡°Thank you, Elder Qin, for your contribution back then. Welcome to Jiang province!¡± The remaining people in the banquet hall shouted in unison. Then, everyone filled their cups and poured the contents into their mouths. Qin Weiming nodded and took a sip of his wine. Even though it was only a small sip, everyone still revealed a look of excitement. Elder Qin had drunk the wine that they offered! This was an honor, a supreme honor! While everyone was overjoyed, Qin Weiming took the initiative to raise his glass and said, ¡°Lin Fan, I¡¯ll give you a toast. Thank you for saving my Yuhao.¡± At the scene¡­ Everyone, including Hong Hanlin, had their mouths wide open. Their faces revealed a look of disbelief. Elder Qin was toasting a young man? That was Elder Qin! This young man¡­ Who was he? As for Qin Weiming¡¯s words, ¡®thank you for saving my grandson,¡¯ they were all forgotten. To everyone, it was an honor to be able to help Qin Weiming¡¯s grandson! Lin Fan did not think too much about it. He raised his glass and said, ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter. Elder Qin, you don¡¯t need to take it to heart.¡± Their glasses clinked lightly, and they both drank the wine! Everyone was stunned again. Elder Qin drank a full glass of wine! At this time, everyone even felt like they were dreaming. Hong Hanlin was the first one to react. ¡°Elder Qin, this cured meat is a specialty of Jiang province. It tastes pretty good. Would you like to try it?¡± he introduced. ¡°Cured meat from Jiang province? I haven¡¯t eaten it in years,¡± Qin Weiming said. After Hong Hanlin spoke, everyone gradually came back to their senses. Lin Fan was very satisfied with the meal. He had eaten a lot of food before. However, the taste of the food here was far better than anywhere else! ¡°Lin Fan, the scenery and air here are pretty good. Do you want to stay with me for a few days?¡± Qin Weiming asked. Gulp! When everyone heard this, although they were full, they still could not help but swallow their saliva. Elder Qin was taking the initiative to invite him to stay with him? This man¡­ Who was he? Lin Fan shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m still in school. I won¡¯t be able to join you.¡± He¡­ He actually refused! School? What was the use of going to school? This was a chance to stay with Elder Qin! Everyone wanted to agree on Lin Fan¡¯s behalf! Qin Weiming did not get angry. He nodded and said, ¡°You¡¯re indeed at the age to go to school. Yue Ziyi, you have to send Lin Fan back to school safely.¡± ¡°Yes, I promise to complete the task!¡± The middle-aged man with the badge on his shoulder stood at attention and shouted. Everyone was already completely numb to this. Lin Fan did not care too much. After leaving Jiangbei Grand Hotel, he got into an army green car. It could be said that the journey was completely unobstructed. In just 10 minutes, they had successfully arrived at Jiangbei University. After returning to school, Lin Fan suddenly remembered that it was Sunday. He did not need to attend classes. Thus, Lin Fan simply did not go to the classroom, nor did he go back to his dormitory¡­ Instead, he went straight to the parking lot. Yesterday, Lin Fan parked the Pagani Huayra in Yi Ke City. Therefore, there were only the Lamborghini and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class car in the parking lot. Lin Fan opened the door of the Lamborghini and got in. He stepped on the accelerator and continued to drive forward. It was the weekend, so there were more cars on the road than usual. Lin Fan was stuck in the middle of the road and looked around in boredom. At this moment, a large LED display appeared in his field of vision. ¡®The International Perfume Exhibition welcomes you.¡¯ When Lin Fan saw this, his eyes flickered. He had Perfume Expert Skills, but he had never studied perfume. Also, Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling seemed to like perfume. It would be nice to buy them some nice-smelling perfumes. Then, Lin Fan looked at the congested road in front of him and turned the car around without much hesitation. Chapter 100 - 100 This Is a Tourist Trap; Lin Fan Makes His Move 100 This Is a Tourist Trap; Lin Fan Makes His Move The International Perfume Exhibition was held in Jiangbei City¡¯s Star Cluster building. Lin Fan stood in front of the gate and sniffed the fragrance in the air. He looked at the crowd that was rushing in and followed them in. Most of the people who attended the International Perfume Exhibition were women or men who were shopping with women. It was rare to see a man like Lin Fan alone. However, Lin Fan did not care too much. He walked and watched, commenting and calculating in his heart. The International Perfume Exhibition was huge and had hundreds of booths. It attracted many international big brands, including Chanel, Dior, Lancome, and so on. Many women were trying out the samples in front of different booths, discussing in low voices and laughing from time to time. The atmosphere of the entire exhibition was extremely relaxed and lively. Every time Lin Fan walked past a display booth, he could smell the scent of different brands of perfume. At the same time, the staff would hand over samples of perfume. He had only strolled around for a short while, but the number of perfume samples in Lin Fan¡¯s hands had already reached more than ten. Just like that, Lin Fan continued to walk forward. When he arrived at a perfume booth called Flower Stem, he stopped for a moment. This booth was obviously larger than the average booth, and the exterior design was very gentle and fashionable. There were many employees in the store, and they were all in high spirits. It was obvious that Flower Stem took the exhibition very seriously. However¡­ Lin Fan was not too bothered with all these. From the moment he entered the International Perfume Exhibition, there was a unique fragrance that he had never smelled before as well as a slightly familiar fragrance. Lin Fan was a little curious as he slowly walked over to the exhibition booth. Soon, a sweet-looking sales assistant came over and asked with a smile, ¡°Hello, how can I help you?¡± Lin Fan sniffed the air and was about to speak. At this time, a dissatisfied voice sounded not far away. A woman of medium build with heavy makeup called out, ¡°What did you apply to me? Why do I smell so bad?¡± The round-faced man next to her chimed in, ¡°Is this perfume or stinky water? Where did you get the face to sell it?¡± The sales assistant standing in front of them lowered her head and said in a panic, ¡°Sir, Madam, there must be a misunderstanding here.¡± Even though that was what she said, she was clearly not confident enough. That was because the sales assistant had also smelled the pungent smell. ¡°What misunderstanding could it be?¡± the woman with heavy makeup asked. ¡°Quickly smell it. Is this a fragrance or a stench? I think you¡¯re a tourist trap!¡± Then, she shouted, ¡°Everyone, look! This is a tourist trap! Their perfume is stinky, so don¡¯t ever use their perfume!¡± Hearing this, everyone around them looked over. Some of the people who were about to try the perfume quickly stepped aside. Soon, the huge Flower Stem booth became extremely deserted. At this moment, a staff member wearing a red armband walked over and asked, ¡°What happened here?¡± The woman with heavy makeup walked up and said, ¡°This is a fake shop. They¡¯re selling low-quality perfumes! They¡¯ll become smelly once sprayed. I¡¯ve just put on their perfume. Quick, smell the scent on my body¡­¡± In fact, before the woman with heavy makeup even got close, the staff member had already smelled the stench. When he got close, it made him have the urge to vomit. The staff member could not help but take two steps away from the woman with heavy makeup. Then, he reproached the sales assistant, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The sales assistant was also a little puzzled and could only say, ¡°This¡­ There must be some misunderstanding here.¡± ¡°Bullsh*t!¡± The round-faced man shouted. Some of the people around them also slowly smelled the stench. They either covered their noses or kept retreating¡­ Some people even took photos of the booth from a distance. Clearly, they were preparing to tell their friends not to buy the perfumes from Flower Stem. Seeing this, the sales assistant was extremely anxious. It was the age of information. Once people labeled Flower Stem as a stinky perfume, it would have a great impact on the brand. The reason they set up a booth at the International Perfume Exhibition today was to improve the image and reputation of their perfumes, not to discredit them! Lin Fan, who had not said anything all this while, finally spoke, ¡°Actually, this lady¡¯s stench has nothing to do with Flower Stem¡¯s perfume.¡± When the woman with heavy makeup heard this, she felt like her tail had been stepped on. What did he mean by that? Not because of the perfume? Did that not mean to say that the stench came from her? The woman with heavy makeup shouted, ¡°You¡¯re definitely one of Flower Stem¡¯s people, so, of course, you¡¯d put in a good word for the brand! Everyone, don¡¯t believe him!¡± Lin Fan did not answer the woman¡¯s question and said calmly, ¡°Before you sprayed Flower Stem¡¯s perfume, you also used perfumes from Wind Fragrance, Moonlight, SE, and other brands, right? ¡°These perfumes are made from rose, jasmine, orchid, cape jasmine, and many other different scents. They¡¯re mixed using special methods to achieve certain smells. ¡°However, you won¡¯t smell good just because you put on more perfumes. ¡°It¡¯s like in a chemistry experiment. When some things exist alone, there won¡¯t be any changes. However, when they are mixed together, they will produce special changes.¡± As he spoke, Lin Fan picked up a bottle of perfume from Flower Stem and opened the cap. ¡°Smell it. There shouldn¡¯t be any stench, right?¡± The staff member placed it near his nose and sniffed it. The curious people around them sniffed the perfume as well. Indeed, they did not smell anything wrong with it. Lin Fan brought out perfume samples from Wind Fragrance, Moonlit, SE, and other brands to let people smell them. Just as Lin Fan had said, the perfumes did not smell bad. Then, Lin Fan mixed the different perfumes together. Whoosh! In an instant, a pungent smell spread in all directions. ¡°F*ck! It¡¯s so stinky!¡± ¡°It¡¯s too smelly!¡± ¡°Blargh!¡± Instantly, a wave of shouts rang out at the scene. Some people almost vomited. At this moment, everyone finally believed Lin Fan¡¯s words. This stench was caused by mixing different perfumes and not Flower Stem¡¯s perfume. The woman with heavy makeup and the round-faced man also understood that they were in the wrong. They lowered their heads and walked away without saying a word. Very quickly, Flower Stem¡¯s booth regained its calm. Lin Fan also felt that the stench was a little bad and used his hand to fan the air gently by his nose. Then, he opened the cap of Flower Stem¡¯s perfume and sprayed it all over his body. After a short while, the fragrance of Flower Stem¡¯s perfume covered the stench. The surroundings once again smelled good. The people who had smelled the stinky odor suddenly smelled a good fragrance. It was as if they had been walking in the desert for several days and had finally welcomed spring water. They felt extremely comfortable. As a result, they all gathered around Flower Stem¡¯s booth. At this moment, a crisp sound rang out beside Lin Fan. It was like the sound of a zither being played. ¡°Thank you,¡± she said. Chapter 101 - 101 Smell the Fragrance to Identify the Ingredients; Invitation 101 Smell the Fragrance to Identify the Ingredients; Invitation After Lin Fan heard the voice, he slowly turned around. He saw¡­ a beautiful woman walking over. Her skin was as fair as jade, and her facial features were as exquisite as porcelain. She was wearing a beige lace dress, which highlighted her perfect figure. Even Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the beauty in front of him. At the same time, he could not help but compare her with the women he knew. Her appearance was comparable to Teacher Tiantian¡¯s. Her figure had even surpassed all the women he knew. Perhaps she was a legendary top-grade beauty! Lin Fan could not help but use his Eyes of Truth to check her out. [Face value: 98] [Favorability: 60] An appearance of 98! Sure enough, her looks were already on par with Teacher Tiantian¡¯s! The beauty continued, ¡°Thank you for your help. Otherwise, our Flower Stem would have been in trouble.¡± Lin Fan replied, ¡°I just did a small thing. Of course, the most important thing is that Flower Stem¡¯s perfumes aren¡¯t bad. ¡°By the way, are you also an employee of this brand?¡± he asked after a pause. ¡°To be more precise, Flower Stem is the brand I created,¡± the beauty said with a smile. ¡°Let me introduce myself. My name is Chu Yunyue. It¡¯s a pleasure to meet you.¡± As she spoke, she took the initiative to extend her hand. Lin Fan was stunned for a moment. He did not expect the other party to be the president of Flower Stem. After a long while, he reached out his hand and shook it lightly. ¡°I¡¯m Lin Fan,¡± Lin Fan said. Chu Yunyue could not help but ask, ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m a little curious¡­ Can you tell me how you knew that the perfumes from Wind Fragrance, Moonlight, and SE will produce a bad smell when mixed with Flower Stem?¡± She was the founder of Flower Stem and often studied perfume. However, even she did not expect that the mixture of four perfumes would produce such a foul smell. ¡°Just smell it and you¡¯ll know,¡± Lin Fan said casually. He could tell just by smelling it? What a joke! Chu Yunyue understood that Lin Fan had no intention of explaining. Therefore, she did not pursue this issue any further. ¡°Mr. Lin, would you like to know more about our perfumes?¡± Chu Yunyue asked. Lin Fan nodded and pointed to a bottle of perfume with an ancient concubine¡¯s picture on it. ¡°Can I take a look at that bottle of perfume?¡± Chu Yunyue looked in the direction he was pointing at. She seemed to have thought of something, and her delicate body trembled slightly. ¡°Of course, you can,¡± she said. Lin Fan opened the lid of the perfume and waved his hand over it. Immediately, an elegant and somewhat familiar smell slowly drifted over. Teacher Tiantian! After a while, Lin Fan finally understood why it smelled familiar. Teacher Tiantian had this kind of smell. It turned out that she liked to use this perfume. Then, Lin Fan pointed to a perfume in a light yellow bottle not far away and said, ¡°Let me have a sniff of that too.¡± ¡°This perfume is called Love Heart,¡± Chu Yunyue said with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s Flower Stem¡¯s newest product.¡± ¡°Love Heart has seven different fragrances. It¡¯s like a rainbow, colorful yet different.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head and sniffed it, ¡°Chrysanthemums, honeysuckles, osmanthus¡­¡± When Chu Yunyue heard Lin Fan¡¯s words, her beautiful eyes flickered. That was because the flowers that Lin Fan mentioned were the exact ingredients that made up Love Heart. He had only sniffed it once, and he actually knew everything! This was too unbelievable, right? Previously, when Lin Fan said that he could tell that four different perfumes would give off a foul smell by just smelling them, Chu Yunyue thought that he was joking. At that moment, Chu Yunyue finally understood that everything Lin Fan said was true! Lin Fan¡¯s understanding of perfumes had probably reached a height that ordinary people could not reach. At this moment, Lin Fan opened another bottle of perfume and raised his hand to slowly fan the fragrance. He sniffed it and said, ¡°Jasmine, lily, orchid¡­¡± Once again, Lin Fan listed out the ingredients of the perfume in full! Guessing it right once could be considered a matter of luck or coincidence. It was the same if he did it the second time. However, he had done it three times in a row! He had done the impossible! This was strength! Chu Yunyue¡¯s beautiful eyes stared at Lin Fan without blinking. She looked at Lin Fan gently waving his hand to lift the fragrance and slowly smelling it¡­ Finally, he mentioned the ingredients¡­ Chu Yunyue was stunned. In Chu Yunyue¡¯s eyes, it was as if Lin Fan was not even sniffing the perfume. Instead, he had transformed into a god who was taking care of the flowers with a faint golden glow around his body. A perfume expert with infinite charm! At this moment, Lin Fan finally put down the perfume in his hand and nodded. ¡°The perfume is not bad.¡± After Chu Yunyue heard his voice, she came back to her senses and said, ¡°Thank you for your affirmation of our Flower Stem. ¡°I wonder if you have any suggestions for Flower Stem?¡± Lin Fan thought for. moment and said, ¡°I suggest that the first bottle of perfume should focus on evoking a sense of mystery. It¡¯s supposed to contend with Chanel, but it lacks a bit of charm¡­ ¡°As for the second bottle, it should be aimed to contend with Guerlain, but it lacks a kind of vitality and refreshing feeling¡­¡± When Chu Yunyue heard Lin Fan¡¯s words, she was stunned. That was because, after some careful consideration, she realized that what Lin Fan said was completely right. These were indeed the flaws of Flower Stem! Talent! This was definitely the most outstanding talent she had ever seen! Chu Yunyue hurriedly said, ¡°Our Flower Stem is still lacking a technical director. I wonder if you¡¯re interested in joining us? The salary and treatment will definitely be to your satisfaction.¡± Technical director? Why would the current Lin Fan need a job? The reason why he went to Jiangbei University was just to experience life. As for the salary? What would his monthly salary be? 100,000? One million? He was not attracted at all. One had to know that Lin Fan could earn a minimum of 1.4 million yuan every day! In the future¡­ He would earn even more! ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯m not interested in this job,¡± Lin Fan replied. ¡°I¡¯m still a student,¡± he added after a pause. ¡°A student?¡± Chu Yunyue was stunned. Lin Fan had researched perfume to such an extent, but he was still a student? This was simply¡­ It was beyond her imagination. However, judging from his youth, he did look like a student. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m studying at Jiangbei University.¡± Lin Fan nodded. At the mention of Jiangbei University, Chu Yunyue¡¯s eyes flickered. After a while, she said, ¡°So, you¡¯re a student¡­ Students should put their studies first.¡± Lin Fan nodded. He picked a few different types of perfumes and prepared to leave. ¡°Right, can I save your contact number?¡± Chu Yunyue asked. Lin Fan nodded his head indifferently. With a soft ring, the two of them successfully added each other on WeChat. Chapter 102 - 102 A Big Shot Visits; Reward! 102 A Big Shot Visits; Reward! When Lin Fan arrived at Yi Ke City, he immediately took out two bottles of perfume. Qiu Ziqian sniffed it and said, ¡°They smell so good! Honey, are these for us?¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°If they¡¯re not for you, who else can I give them to? ¡°Here, the red one is for Ziqian, and the yellow one is for Huang Ling.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling were overjoyed. Very quickly, Room 2501 began to shake violently. ¡­. He had no sleep tonight! ¡­ The next day, the sky was clear. After Lin Fan finished his breakfast, he went to Jiangbei University. At this time, Jiangbei University welcomed an important guest. The leader of Jiangbei City, Jiao Yang, was visiting Jiangbei University. He was accompanied by the chancellor and dean. Behind them was a large group of reporters with cameras and microphones. They visited the tall library, the newly entered laboratory, and the brand-new stadium. ¡°I heard that there¡¯s a genius at Jiangbei University recently. Not only did he win the Higher Education Cup, but he also solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture,¡± Jiao Yang suddenly said. Although Jiao Yang was the leader of Jiangbei and had to work hard every day, he knew what these mathematics achievements meant. Chancellor Shen Liang said, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right.¡± ¡°Good, good! He¡¯s brought honor to both Jiangbei University and Jiangbei City! He must be rewarded!¡± Jiao Yang called out happily. Shen Liang said, ¡°You¡¯re right¡­ We¡¯ve already applied for 500,000 yuan prize money from the school, and we¡¯re going to give it to him later.¡± ¡°What?¡± Jiao Yang frowned. ¡°Didn¡¯t you prepare a big award ceremony? Aren¡¯t you going to have the reporters attend it?¡± One had to know¡­ Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture were both world-class problems. Now that a student had successfully solved it, this was definitely a good opportunity to promote the school and show off the school¡¯s strength. In Jiao Yang¡¯s eyes, the award ceremony was the best opportunity to promote this. However, Shen Liang did not seem to have such intentions. Hu Chuan, who was standing at the side, took a step forward and explained, ¡°This student doesn¡¯t like to be on camera, so we¡¯ve temporarily canceled these sorts of activities.¡± Jiao Yang¡¯s brows furrowed even more. ¡°One should announce the glory one obtained! What¡¯s the use of just quietly winning an award? ¡°We¡¯re going to make him a role model for the school and even for the whole country! He alone can influence countless people! This way, he will be able to display his value to a greater extent! ¡°Every year, we select the top ten most outstanding young people in Jiangbei. He needs to set a good example and influence more people! ¡°As for¡­ him not liking to be on camera? You¡¯re all his teachers and professors. It shouldn¡¯t be difficult for you to persuade him, right?¡± Jiao Yang said so much in a row. It was obvious that he was very concerned about this matter. At the same time, he was a little disappointed with Hu Chuan and the others¡¯ choice to only give out a prize reward. Vice Chancellor Feng Weijian, who was standing beside him, said, ¡°What you said makes so much sense! The purpose of our education is not to create a single talent but to create countless talents! ¡°Setting an example is the best way for more people to break through their limits and improve themselves. It¡¯s the best way to become useful talents! ¡°Before this, that student said that he didn¡¯t want to be on camera, so we chose to give up and didn¡¯t pursue it anymore. This is indeed our fault. You¡¯re right, Leader!¡± When Feng Weijian first learned that Lin Fan had solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture. His first thought was to invite a large number of reporters to the school to conduct individual interviews with Lin Fan. They would also do self-media coverage and press conferences to promote this matter to the greatest extent. They could use this opportunity to expand the reputation and influence of Jiangbei University. However, this was rejected by the dean of the Mathematics Department, Hu Chuan, who said that Lin Fan did not like to be on camera. Chancellor Shen Liang also supported Hu Chuan¡¯s actions. Feng Weijian could not help but feel indignant. Now that the leader of Jiangbei City had mentioned the interviews and publicity, Feng Weijian naturally agreed. Jiao Yang gave Feng Weijian a look of approval. ¡°Actually, I¡¯m here to visit Jiangbei University and also to give him a 500,000 yuan bonus¡­ ¡°After all, we, Jiangbei, have always valued talents!¡± In fact, this was the main reason why Jiao Yang had chosen to visit Jiangbei University today. Jiao Yang wanted to personally present the prize money. It was a rare opportunity for him to show his face. ¡°Let me thank you on the student¡¯s behalf!¡± Feng Weijian said excitedly. When the reporters behind him heard this, their faces lit up with joy. The reporters had long known that a student from Jiangbei University had solved two world-level problems and had wanted to come to interview him. However, they were rejected by the school. Jiangbei University even banned the media from interviewing Lin Fan. However, they did not expect to have the chance today. This could be said to be Lin Fan¡¯s first exclusive interview, and he would definitely get the attention of countless people! ¡°Where is he?¡± Jiao Yang asked. Feng Weijian thought for a moment and said, ¡°He should be in the classroom now¡­ Great leader, please have some tea in the conference room and rest for a while. He¡¯ll be here soon.¡± Hu Chuan still wanted to object. However, since Feng Weijian had already said that, how could he object? He had no choice but to silently walk toward the meeting room with the others. They had not walked for long when a tall figure suddenly appeared not far away. Hu Chuan¡¯s murky eyes moved slightly. He raised his voice and said, ¡°Lin Fan, please wait a moment.¡± Lin Fan, who was walking not far away, stopped in his tracks. Lin Fan? The leader of Jiangbei, Jiao Yang, who was standing in front of Lin Fan, suddenly felt that the name Lin Fan was familiar. It was as if he had heard it before. He could not help but look in the direction that Hu Chuan had called out to. He happened to see Lin Fan¡¯s back and felt that this back¡­ seemed familiar. Finally, Lin Fan slowly turned around. As soon as he turned around, Jiao Yang¡¯s eyes widened. He! It was him! It was actually him! Yesterday, when Jiao Yang and the leaders of Jiang province learned that Qin Weiming, Elder Qin, had come to Jiangbei, they immediately rushed over to welcome him. He still clearly remembered how polite Elder Qin was to this young man! He wanted Lin Fan to sit beside him! He even personally gave a toast to Lin Fan! In the end, he even ordered the big shot with the badge to personally drive Lin Fan back! Jiao Yang¡­ In fact, everyone present had tried to guess Lin Fan¡¯s identity, but they had no clue at all! Now, he had actually met him at Jiangbei University! Chapter 103 - 103 Little Brother Lin; The Crown Prince! 103 Little Brother Lin; The Crown Prince! At this time, Song Yi happened to be holding a basketball and walking over from a distance, covered in sweat. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, when are we going to play basketball together again?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s play next time,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°I¡¯ll remember that!¡± Song Yi said happily. In Song Yi¡¯s opinion¡­ Playing basketball with Lin Fan was torture to their opponents. Song Yi, on the other hand, liked to torture people. When Song Yi turned around, he saw the dean of the Mathematics Department, Hu Chuan, and the others. ¡°Hello, Dean Hu,¡± he quickly greeted. Even though around Hu Chuan were Chancellor Shen Liang, Vice Chancellor Feng Weijian, and even Jiangbei City¡¯s leader, Jiao Yang¡­ Song Yi was just a young man and did not know them at all. The reason he knew Hu Chuan was that he had personally gone to their dormitory not long ago. Lin Fan seemed to have just remembered that Hu Chuan had called him and asked, ¡°Dean Hu, is there anything I can help you with?¡± Hu Chuan opened his mouth, but no words came out. Lin Fan had clearly expressed that he did not want to be interviewed. If he asked him to accept interviews now, what if Lin Fan grew to hate him? What should they do if Lin Fan left Jiangbei University? Lin Fan did not have to stay at Jiangbei University. For a math genius like him, no matter which school he went to, they would definitely fight for him. Vice Chancellor Feng Weijian, who was standing behind him, did not think so much. ¡°Lin Fan, this is Leader Jiao of Jiangbei City!¡± he quickly introduced. ¡°The leader values talents very much. He learned that you won the Higher Education Cup, and then solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, so he specially brought reporters from Jiangbei¡¯s TV stations to interview you and personally award you a prize! Go and say hi to Leader Jiao.¡± At this point, Feng Weijian¡¯s tone became extremely high. He looked as if the big leader was going to give him a bonus. Song Yi, who was standing next to him, widened his eyes in surprise. The leader of Jiangbei City? He was definitely a big shot! In addition, there were also reporters from Jiangbei¡¯s TV stations? Lin Fan did not think too much about it. He frowned and said, ¡°Interviews? I don¡¯t like to be interviewed.¡± Feng Weijian¡¯s smile froze slightly when he heard that. Was he not clear enough just now? He actually rejected him directly? Lin Fan was not giving him and the big leader face! At the thought of this, Feng Weijian¡¯s face darkened slightly, and he was about to say something. At this time, Jiao Yang hurried over and said, ¡°If Lin Fan doesn¡¯t like being interviewed, then let¡¯s not do it. It¡¯s the right choice not to be interviewed! ¡°Once he gives interviews, I¡¯m afraid that his life and studies will be greatly affected. This is very bad for him!¡± Everyone was stunned by his words. Did Jiao Yang not just say that Lin Fan should announce his honor? Did he not say that Lin Fan would become a role model for the school, Jiangbei City, and even the whole country? Did he not say that if a student did not like to be on camera, the teachers and professors had to persuade them? What was the situation now? Why was he saying that not giving interviews was the right choice? Accepting these interviews would even have a great impact on Lin Fan¡¯s life and studies? What was going on? Jiao Yang did not pay any attention to the dumbfounded crowd. He turned to the reporters in the distance and shouted, ¡°Everyone, stop filming. If you¡¯ve captured any images of Lin Fan, delete them immediately!¡± In Jiao Yang¡¯s heart, Lin Fan¡¯s background was extremely mysterious. What if he was someone who could not appear on television, and he caused Lin Fan to be exposed? The consequences¡­ They were absolutely terrifying. Of course, even if that was not the case, just the fact that Lin Fan did not like to be interviewed was enough for him to stop the reporters from interviewing Lin Fan! The reporters in the distance trembled in fear. They quickly deleted all the images and recordings they had taken. Seeing this, Jiao Yang let out a sigh of relief. He bent over and said in a flattering tone, ¡°I¡¯ve long heard that a math genius has appeared in Jiangbei. It¡¯s my fault for not coming here until now. Please don¡¯t blame me.¡± Everyone present was completely stunned. What was going on? It was rare for a leader of Jiangbei City to visit a student from the University of Jiangbei. Now, he actually took the initiative to greet him and even apologized to Lin Fan? What was going on? Lin Fan looked at Jiao Yang and quickly remembered that he had seen him at Jiangbei Grand Hotel the day before. ¡°You¡¯re too kind, Leader,¡± he said. ¡°That sounds too distant. I¡¯m just a little older than you, so you can call me ¡®Old Jiao¡¯ if you don¡¯t mind,¡± Jiao Yang said. The leader of Jiangbei City asked to be addressed as¡­ Old Jiao? Everyone¡¯s mouth was wide open, and their faces were blank. ¡°Then I¡¯ll call you Brother Jiao,¡± Lin Fan said after some thought. After all, he addressed the leader of Qing City, Zhao Jiaqi, as Brother Zhao. Hearing this, Jiao Yang¡¯s face revealed a touch of joy. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll have to call you Little Brother Lin.¡± He then said, ¡°First of all, congratulations on solving Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture. Jiangbei City has prepared a small prize. I hope you can accept it.¡± Then, he handed Lin Fan a check for 500,000. Lin Fan was not short of money now, but this was someone¡¯s good intention after all. He reluctantly accepted the check and said, ¡°Thank you, Brother Jiao.¡± ¡°You¡¯re welcome, you¡¯re welcome¡­¡± Jiao Yang said. Then, Jiao Yang continued to find topics to talk about with Lin Fan. Suddenly, Jiao Yang¡¯s phone rang. Now that Jiao Yang had finally managed to talk to Lin Fan, how could he be willing to be disturbed? He picked up his phone and was about to hang up. However, when he saw the caller ID, he hesitated. ¡°Little Brother Lin, I have to take this call first¡­¡± ¡°Brother Jiao, please do as you wish,¡± Lin Fan said nonchalantly. Hearing this, Jiao Yang answered the call. ¡°What?¡± ¡°How did this happen?¡± ¡°Alright, I got it!¡± Jiao Yang¡¯s face scrunched up after he hung up. ¡°Brother Jiao, you can go and deal with your matters. I have to go to class,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Then I¡¯ll meet up with you next time,¡± Jiao Yang said. After he finished speaking, he quickly walked away. Clearly, he did have something to deal with. Chancellor Shen Liang, Dean Hu Chuan, and Vie Chancellor Feng Weijian looked at Lin Fan deeply. They opened their mouths as if they wanted to ask something. However, in the end, they did not open their mouths. They only said their goodbyes and gradually left. Soon, only Lin Fan and Song Yi, who was in a daze, remained. Lin Fan patted Song Yi¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°What are you doing? Let¡¯s go to the classroom!¡± Song Yi came back to his senses and could not help but say, ¡°Brother Lin Fan¡­ are you one of the legendary four young masters of the capital?¡± Song Yi saw everything that just happened. The leader of Jiangbei City was so polite to Lin Fan. He even called him Little Brother Lin! Just how terrifying was Lin Fan¡¯s identity? Song Yi could not help but associate Lin Fan with the four young masters of Jingbei that he had read about in novels. ¡°The four young masters of Jingbei?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°I¡¯m the crown prince of the capital!¡± Hiss! When Song Yi heard this, he gasped. Obviously, he took it seriously. Lin Fan looked at Song Yi¡¯s serious expression and could not help but laugh. Chapter 104 - 104 Dont Disturb His Sleep; Teacher Tiantian Asks for Consultation Again! 104 Don¡¯t Disturb His Sleep; Teacher Tiantian Asks for Consultation Again! When Lin Fan and Song Yi returned to the dormitory, there was no one there. Song Yi then remembered and said anxiously, ¡°Oh no, we have Miss Tiantian¡¯s class!¡± After saying that, he hurriedly grabbed a clean set of clothes and rushed into the bathroom. Then, there was a burst of splashing sound in the bathroom. Song Yi would never allow himself to go to Teacher Tiantian¡¯s class with a body full of sweat. When Lin Fan heard the name ¡®Teacher Tiantian,¡¯ he could not help but think back to the day when he went to her house. His heart started to beat faster. ¡°Take it slow. Don¡¯t rush,¡± he said after a while. However, Lin Fan¡¯s words did not have any effect. On the contrary¡­ It also made Song Yi shower and change his clothes even faster. In just a few minutes, Song Yi had already put on his shoes. He said anxiously, ¡°I don¡¯t know if Zheng Jinbao and Ma Zhong saved us seats.¡± All of Tiantian¡¯s classes were packed. Today was no exception. Zheng Jinbao and Ma Zhong were still very reliable. They had already saved them seats. As soon as Song Yi and Lin Fan sat down, the sound of a bell rang out on the campus of Jiangbei University. Then, Hu Tian slowly walked in. Instantly, the entire classroom fell silent. The students¡¯ moods fluctuated along with the change in Hu Tian¡¯s tone. In the eyes of the students, Hu Tian was like a star in the sky, bright and dazzling. In the blink of an eye, the morning class came to an end. Although the students were reluctant, they could only leave slowly. The canteen was as crowded as usual. At that moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. 12:00 PM! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 100 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve gained Professional-Level English.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,000 yuan.] ¡­ This time, Lin Fan received 30,211 yuan. He did not pay any attention to this and directly set his eyes on Professional-Level English. [Professional-Level English: be it listening, writing, reading, or singing, it¡¯s all at your fingertips. Showing off your professional level of English can also show your charm!] Lin Fan muttered in his heart, ¡°If only I had this skill in high school.¡± It was the old professor¡¯s class again in the afternoon. Last night, Lin Fan did not sleep at all. In addition, he had Hu Tian¡¯s class in the morning. Thus, he had not slept at all. At that moment, the old professor had just opened his mouth when Lin Fan closed his eyes and fell asleep. In fact, he was even snoring lightly. It was not that nobody else slept in class. However, it was really rare to see someone like Lin Fan, who started snoring right after class started. The entire classroom fell silent. All of them turned their gazes to Lin Fan, their faces filled with weird expressions. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, the old professor slowly walked down from the podium and came to Lin Fan¡¯s side. Everyone thought to themselves, ¡®Lin Fan is probably going to be in trouble.¡¯ Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and Ma Zhong, who were sitting at the side, could not help but want to wake Lin Fan up. However, they were stopped by the old professor¡¯s gaze. They saw the old professor doing the same thing as last time. He took off his coat and put it on Lin Fan. The old professor thought to himself, ¡®As expected, Lin Fan really loves to study. He tires himself out every night!¡¯ Then, the old professor said in a low voice, ¡°Let¡¯s change to another classroom for this class. When you go out, try to be quiet. Don¡¯t disturb Lin Fan¡¯s sleep.¡± When the students heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly. ¡®Don¡¯t disturb his sleep?¡¯ Was this really what a teacher would say? Soon, Lin Fan was the only one left in the classroom. Meanwhile, Lin Fan¡¯s snores were echoing in the empty classroom. ¡­ When a ray of sunlight shone through the window and landed on Lin Fan¡¯s face, he slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Ma Zhong, Song Yi, and Zheng Jinbao, who were surrounding him. He asked doubtfully, ¡°Why are you all looking at me like that?¡± ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you can¡¯t be Professor Li¡¯s illegitimate child, right?¡± Zheng Jinbao asked. Professor Li was the old professor who taught them in the afternoon. In fact, it was not just the three of them who had this suspicion. Many people in the class had the same suspicion. ¡°Illegitimate child?¡± Lin Fan asked curiously. ¡°His surname is Li, my surname is Lin.¡± ¡°Then why is Professor Li so good to you?¡± Zheng Jinbao said. Lin Fan looked at the coat that was still on his body and immediately understood what the three of them were saying. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because I¡¯m handsome?¡± At that moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. It turned out to be a WeChat message from Teacher Tiantian. [Lin Fan, are you free later? Can you come to my office?] Lin Fan waved his phone and smiled. ¡°See, I told you I¡¯m more handsome. Teacher Tiantian also likes looking for me.¡± After Zheng Jinbao, Song Yi, and Ma Zhong saw Lin Fan¡¯s WeChat message, their eyes were a little red. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, I¡¯ll kneel down to you!¡± they shouted. Lin Fan looked at the three of them and could not help but laugh. ¡­ Lin Fan had already been to Hu Tian¡¯s office a few times. This time, he was very familiar with the place. Hu Tian was the only one in the office. The air was filled with an elegant and refreshing fragrance. Lin Fan thought to himself, ¡®As expected, Teacher Tiantian likes to use the perfume from Flower Stem.¡± At this moment, Hu Tian, who had been bent over the desk writing, also noticed Lin Fan. She slowly raised her head and pointed at the tea beside her. ¡°Have some tea first.¡± ¡°I¡¯m indeed a little thirsty,¡± Lin Fan said. Then, he picked up the cup and took a big gulp. The temperature of the tea was just right. There were lilies, jasmine, honey, and a little mint in it, making it sweet and delicious. ¡°How did you calculate this part?¡± Hu Tian said as she flipped through the densely packed formulas. Lin Fan looked up. It was the solution for the Twin Prime Number Conjecture he had written at the report. After some thought, he took out a blank piece of draft paper and quickly wrote down very detailed steps. 12£¨1+2+3+.. N£©-12£¨1+2+3+..+£¨N-1£©=£¨6N^2+6N£©-{6£¨N-1£©^2+6£¨N-1£©}=12N ¡­ Even when he was writing calculations and formulas, Lin Fan¡¯s handwriting was still very graceful and carefree. Hu Tian looked at the pleasing handwriting and Lin Fan¡¯s serious expression, and she was a little dazed. In Hu Tian¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan did not seem to be writing down an equation at all. Instead, he seemed to be constructing a beautiful and magnificent palace. At this moment, it was as though Lin Fan had transformed into the God of Creation. He was just so mesmerizing. Hu Tian could not help but slowly approach Lin Fan. The next moment, she leaned forward. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) The moon was bright, and the stars were few. ¡­ That night, Lin Fan came to Teacher Tiantian¡¯s house again. He did not return for a night! Chapter 105 - 105 Chu Yunyue’s Invitation; The New Love Heart 105 Chu Yunyue¡¯s Invitation; The New Love Heart The next day, Hu Tian did not have any classes in the morning, and she was too tired the previous night. After breakfast, she went back to bed. In order to let Hu Tian rest well, Lin Fan did not stay at her house for long. He went straight to Jiangbei University. In the morning, everyone in Jiangbei was in a hurry to get to work, so the roads were very congested. Even with Lin Fan¡¯s Professional Driving Skills, it still took him more than half an hour to reach the school. In the morning, Lin Fan lay on the table and slept. Lin Fan only opened his eyes slowly after the crisp ringing of the bell. When he was eating in the cafeteria, his phone vibrated as usual. 12:00 PM! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received two yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 19,999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve gained Professor-Level Chemistry Skills.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] ¡­ Lin Fan received a total of 50,198 yuan and Professor-Level Chemistry Skills. [Professor-Level Chemistry Skills: hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boronium, C-N, oxygen, neon¡­ You possess a profound knowledge of chemistry and display extraordinary charm.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s face was filled with a weird expression. Before, he received Professional-Level English, Academician-Level Mathematics Skills, and Professor-Level Physics Skills. Today, he gained Professor-Level Chemistry Skills. Did this really make him a super genius? When Lin Fan walked back to his dormitory, his phone vibrated again. It turned out to be a message from the founder of Flower Stem, Chu Yunyue. Chu Yunyue: [Lin Fan, our Flower Stem has newly redeveloped Love Heart. If you¡¯re free, can you come to our company to comment on it?] Lin Fan¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he saw this. He had the skills of a perfume expert. He was indeed interested in nice-smelling perfumes. Also, Lin Fan had slept for almost the entire morning and was full of energy. He had just been considering whether he should go to class in the afternoon, but after seeing this message, he did not hesitate much and replied directly. Lin Fan replied: [Okay, I¡¯ll come over later.] After Lin Fan exchanged some words with his three roommates, he walked straight to the parking lot. ¡°When will I be able to be like Brother Lin Fan?¡± Zheng Jinbao sighed. ¡°You can do it in class later,¡± Song Yi said. ¡°Why?¡± Zheng Jinbao asked. ¡°Because you can dream during class,¡± Song Yi said. Zheng Jinbao was speechless. ¡­ Flower Stem Corporation was located on the 17th floor of the Feiyang building in the center of Jiangbei City. Lin Fan had just taken the elevator up when he was greeted by a fragrant smell. A quiet, beautiful woman with proper facial features was sitting at the front desk. ¡°May I ask if there¡¯s anything I can help with?¡± she asked with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m here to look for Chu Yunyue. My name is Lin Fan,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. Our president has already informed us of your arrival. This way, please.¡± The beautiful woman¡¯s tone became even more friendly. At the same time, she secretly sized up Lin Fan as if she was trying to guess his relationship with Chu Yunyue. Flower Stem¡¯s R&D center took up nearly a third of the company¡¯s area. There were many sealed bottles here, and each bottle contained a different perfume. At that moment, Chu Yunyue and a few other researchers were working meticulously. There was a knock on the door. Chu Yunyue stopped what she was doing and said, ¡°Please come in.¡± When she saw that it was Lin Fan, her beautiful eyes immediately lit up. She said happily, ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯ve come at the right time! ¡°Come and take a look, this is our new Love Heart. ¡°Wait, no. Let¡¯s go to my office and rest for a while. We¡¯ll have some coffee or tea.¡± Clearly, Chu Yunyue felt that since Lin Fan was a guest, she should first treat him well. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°No need. I¡¯m not thirsty. I¡¯ll take a whiff of the perfume first.¡± Then, he pointed at the yellow glass bottle in Chu Yunyue¡¯s hand and asked, ¡°Is this the new Love Heart?¡± ¡°Yes, it is!¡± Chu Yunyue nodded. She saw that Lin Fan did not want to drink anything, so she did not force him and handed him the new Love Heart. Lin Fan slowly opened the bottle. Instantly, a sweet and refreshing fragrance wafted over. Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°You¡¯ve added mint, osmanthus¡­ The perfume is refreshing and sweet, evoking a stronger sense of youth and love.¡± Even though Chu Yunyue had seen Lin Fan¡¯s extraordinary ability with perfume not long ago and felt that it was a pity he could not join her company, now that she saw it again, she could not help but be amazed and fascinated. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that there were some problems with the steps and dosage of the perfume,¡± Lin Fan continued. ¡°Otherwise, it might be comparable to Guerlain and the other brands.¡± Chu Yunyue quickly asked, ¡°What are the problems? Can I trouble you to take a look and improve the product?¡± Her tone was so urgent and without a trace of doubt. It was as though Lin Fan¡¯s words were the truth. This was normal¡­ That was because Chu Yunyue had been able to develop the new Love Heart in such a short time all because of Lin Fan¡¯s advice at the perfume exhibition. Then, Chu Yunyue seemed to have realized something and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was a little presumptuous just now¡­ If you don¡¯t have the time, I¡¯ll study it slowly¡­¡± After all, Lin Fan had refused to be the technical director. It was already very rare for him to come to Flower Stem¡¯s headquarters. As for Lin Fan, he was quite interested in making perfumes. ¡°I have some free time,¡± he said with a smile. ¡°If it¡¯s convenient, I¡¯d like to take a look at the process of you making the perfume.¡± ¡°For sure!¡± Chu Yunyue said happily. Then, Chu Yunyue led Lin Fan to a large experiment table. On top of the experiment table, there were conical bottles, U-shaped tubes, alcohol lamps, iron stands, dripping tubes, and other equipment, as well as various raw materials for making perfume. Chu Yunyue said to the research and development staff, ¡°You guys, complete the new Love Heart once.¡± At this time, there were four women and two men in the research and development center. Among them, a tall and thin man named Zhao Zhixiong, who was about 27 or 28 years old, hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°President, Love Heart is our Flower Stem¡¯s secret product¡­¡± Although he did not finish his sentence, his meaning was already very clear. Lin Fan was not an employee of their company, and he did not sign a confidentiality agreement. If he were to leak it, it would be too late for regrets. How could Chu Yunyue not understand what he meant? She frowned slightly and said sternly, ¡°The reason why our Flower Stem has a new Love Heart is because of Lin Fan. You don¡¯t have to keep it a secret from him. ¡°All you need to do is to show Lin Fan the complete steps of creating the new Love Heart.¡± It was not easy for Lin Fan to come to the company, and Chu Yunyue did not want to put their relationship at stake. Chu Yunyue did not want Lin Fan to be unhappy because of Zhao Zhixiong¡¯s words. Chapter 106 - 106 Lin Fan Takes Action; Chu Yunyue’s Lamentation 106 Lin Fan Takes Action; Chu Yunyue¡¯s Lamentation The researchers present could also hear Chu Yunyue¡¯s displeasure. Therefore, they did not say anything more and followed the steps strictly to make the perfume. Normally, it would take a few weeks to produce a finished perfume. However, Flower Stem had all kinds of pure flower liquid, which saved a lot of time. In just two hours, a new bottle of Love Heart appeared in front of Lin Fan. Lin Fan sniffed the newly made Love Heart and said, ¡°I¡¯ll also make one.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll get them to help you,¡± Chu Yunyue said. Lin Fan shook his head and said, ¡°No need. I can do it myself.¡± Lin Fan walked to the front of the experiment table. First, he cleaned the conical flask, the drip tube, the beaker, and all the other equipment. Then, he placed them in order. Then, he poured the raw materials and solution into the round flask. He gently shook it, and a small vortex was vaguely formed. The equipment was connected to U-shaped tubes, liquid-dividing funnels, a pump generator, a distillation kettle, and other devices. Then, he placed the round-bottom flask under the alcohol lamp¡­ Previously, Chu Yunyue suggested asking the researchers for help because she was worried that Lin Fan was just a perfume theorist who was not good at practical operations. However, after seeing Lin Fan¡¯s series of production techniques and steps, she was completely shocked. Pre-processing, mixing, aging, freezing, filtering, and hardening¡­ His movements were well-practiced and precise. Even she, as well as all the researchers of Flower Stem, could not compare. In particular, his control and mastery of various experimental equipment far surpassed everyone else. Chu Yunyue had once invited a chemistry professor from a certain university to conduct experiments for Flower Stem. However, even that professor seemed to be inferior to Lin Fan. In Chu Yunyue¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan was not even making perfume, but was painting a masterpiece! She sighed in her heart. ¡°Lin Fan, just who are you?¡± Swish! At this time, a refreshing fragrance slowly drifted over, making Chu Yunyue feel refreshed. Then, Lin Fan brought a pale yellow bottle to her. The new Love Heart that he had created was completed! Chu Yunyue could not help but look at the time. 90 minutes! The six researchers spent a full two hours! Lin Fan had only used 90 minutes! Chu Yunyue¡¯s entire pretty face was filled with unconcealable shock. ¡°This is the new Love Heart that I made. Smell it,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Ah¡­ Alright.¡± Chu Yunyue quickly hid her surprise and slowly opened the bottle. Immediately, a rich but not pungent fragrance hit her face. In addition, the fragrance carried a touch of freshness, giving people the feeling that they were in a cluster of flowers. There was even a breeze blowing by their ears from time to time. It was an incomparable enjoyment. After a long time, Chu Yunyue said excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s fragrant, it¡¯s really too fragrant! This is the best scent I¡¯ve ever smelled! Lin Fan, thank you!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never personally made perfume before,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°I¡¯ve had my fun today, so you don¡¯t have to be too polite.¡± Chu Yunyue directly focused on the first part of his sentence. He had never made perfume himself? How was that possible? One had to know that Lin Fan¡¯s perfume-making technique was even more skilled and professional than the R&D staff! Lin Fan continued, ¡°Oh right, you said that Love Heart has a total of seven perfumes?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Chu Yunyue nodded repeatedly. ¡°I¡¯ll go and get the other six perfumes for you to smell.¡± Very quickly, red, green, blue, purple, white, and gray perfume bottles were placed in front of Lin Fan. Lin Fan opened the six bottles of perfume one by one and took a good whiff of them. He immediately had an idea. ¡°There are some areas that can be improved in the ingredients and processes of these perfumes,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Really?¡± Chu Yunyue asked excitedly. Love Heart was a perfume series that Chu Yunyue had spent a lot of effort to create. After Lin Fan¡¯s modification, the yellow bottle¡¯s fragrance had obviously increased by a level. If Lin Fan could improve the other six perfumes, he would definitely be able to make the Love Heart series famous! Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s a little late today. I¡¯ll come to Flower Stem tomorrow to take a look.¡± Chu Yunyue¡¯s entire pretty face revealed a joy that was difficult to hide. ¡°It is late today, Lin Fan. Can we have dinner together?¡± she added. ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied casually. Then, the two of them walked out together. The researcher, Zhao Zhixiong, looked at the back of the two people walking away, and his face revealed a touch of resentment. ¡­ Not long after, Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue arrived at a private kitchen that was not far from the Feiyang building. The shop had a small bridge and flowing water, which looked very elegant. The dishes were beautiful, exquisite, and delicious. Lin Fan nodded his head as he ate. He was obviously quite satisfied. Then, he poured himself a glass of wine from the private kitchen. First, he swayed the glass a little. Then, he slowly poured the content into his mouth. Lin Fan closed his eyes as if he was savoring the taste of the wine. This action was very simple. However, it made Chu Yunyue a little dazed. That was because in Chu Yunyue¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan did not seem to be drinking wine. Instead, he looked like a nobleman sitting in a tall and luxurious castle, carefully savoring the top wine brewed by his own winery a hundred years ago. [Unlimited charm from Drinking Gentleman is triggered!] At this moment, Lin Fan opened his eyes. In an instant, their eyes met. Chu Yunyue seemed to have been caught red-handed stealing. She quickly lowered her head, and her entire face turned red. Lin Fan did not mind and said, ¡°It¡¯s smooth and sweet when it goes down the throat. The grapes used are not bad, but it¡¯s a pity that the brewing time is a little short. ¡°Otherwise, the taste could have been even mellower.¡± Some people liked to show off their knowledge, pretending to know everything and be very awesome. However, Chu Yunyue could not hear any hint of showing off from Lin Fan¡¯s tone. There was only sincere appreciation and lament! Chu Yunyue could not help but think to herself, ¡°Lin Fan not only has such a deep understanding of perfume, but he also has such a deep understanding of wine! Is there anything he doesn¡¯t know?¡± Was he really just a young man in his 20s? At that moment, in Chu Yunyue¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan¡¯s body seemed to be blooming with a seven-colored light, but it also seemed to be covered in a thick fog. It was extremely mysterious! Chu Yunyue only came back to her senses after a long while and said, ¡°Lin Fan, I know you don¡¯t want to be a technical director. ¡°However, your improvement on Love Heart will indeed be of great help to our Flower Stem¡­ I¡¯m going to transfer 10% of the shares to you to compensate you for your time. I hope you don¡¯t mind.¡± Lin Fan wanted to reject it. He really wanted to say that the reason why he could improve Love Heart was really just because he had nothing to do and wanted to try making perfumes. However, Lin Fan looked at Chu Yunyue¡¯s serious expression and casually agreed. Well, it would not matter if he had more shares. Chapter 107 - 107 Improvement Completed; Lin Xiaoyao’s Call! 107 Improvement Completed; Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s Call! In the next few days, Lin Fan frequently went to Flower Stem. Every day, Lin Fan would make a few sets of perfume, which was enough to satisfy him. At the same time, Lin Fan also taught Chu Yunyue the specific improvement plans for the seven types of Love Heart perfumes. Now, as long as they could mass-produce the seven Love Heart perfumes, design the advertisements, and promote them well, they would be officially launched. Today, Chu Yunyue and Lin Fan went to the same private kitchen to have dinner as usual. At first, Chu Yunyue admired Lin Fan. She admired his understanding of perfume. However, as time went by, there was a different feeling to it besides appreciation. ¡­ The night gradually deepened. At Flower Stem. A figure quietly entered Chu Yunyue¡¯s office. He turned on the computer and copied all the information on Love Heart and Flower Stem into his hard drive. Through the weak light of the computer screen, a figure¡¯s face was reflected. It was the researcher, Zhao Zhixiong! ¡­ That night, Lin Fan did not go to Yi Ke City. Instead, he returned to the school¡¯s dormitory. At this time, Zheng Jinbao was watching the live broadcast, and from time to time, he would let out a burst of laughter. Song Yi was playing a game while Ma Zhong was reading a book¡­ The atmosphere of the entire dormitory was very harmonious and relaxed. Lin Fan took a sip of water and turned his attention to the system. [Level: LV5] [Level 5 reward: 20 yuan for every breath; 20 yuan for every second of sleep; 20 yuan for every step taken. Rewards are distributed at 12 a.m. daily.] [Upgrade cost: 7.5 million/50 million (not including gifts and gambling. In addition, all items obtained from the system are prohibited from being traded.] [Skills: Professional Driving Skills, Charming Aura (5% chance to trigger love at first sight, unforgettable memory), Violent Aesthetics, Drinking Gentleman, Absolute Focus (10% chance to trigger a flash of inspiration), Professor-Level Mathematics Experience¡­ Professor-Level Chemistry Skills.] [Funds: 161 million] At that moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID. It was Lin Xiaoyao. ¡°Lil Yao, have you been eating enough? Has your face gotten rounder?¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re doing it again!¡± Lin Xiaoyao protested. The two of them chatted for a while. Lin Xiaoyao said, ¡°Brother, Mom and Dad are discussing throwing Grandpa¡¯s 70th birthday party. Do you have time to come back in the next two days?¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯ll go back!¡± Lin Fan did not hesitate at all. One had to know¡­ When Lin Fan was young, his family was very poor. In order for Lin Fan to be able to study, his parents went out to work together when he was very young. It could be said that before Lin Fan entered high school, he was living with his grandparents in the countryside. Therefore, Lin Fan had a very close relationship with his grandparents. After that, Lin Fan¡¯s family moved to Qing City. Originally, Lin Fan¡¯s family wanted to bring his grandparents over to live with them. However, Grandpa and Grandma were used to life in the countryside, so the grandfather and grandson rarely saw each other. Now that his family was going to throw his grandfather¡¯s 70th birthday party, Lin Fan naturally would not miss it. ¡°Hehe, I knew you¡¯d be there,¡± Lin Xiaoyao said. ¡°By the way, Brother, I saw on People¡¯s Daily that a student from Jiangbei University solved two world-class math problems! ¡°Furthermore, that student actually has the same name as you. He¡¯s also called Lin Fan!¡± Logically speaking, for someone like Lin Fan who had solved two questions in the world of mathematics, photos and videos of him would have been spread all over the internet. However, under Lin Fan¡¯s request and with the help of the leaders of Jiangbei City and the University of Jiangbei, they managed to prevent this from happening. People¡¯s Daily could not turn a blind eye to this honor. Although Lin Fan¡¯s photos were not released, his name was mentioned. Lin Xiaoyao happened to see this news not too long ago. She had a deep impression of the name that was the same as her brother¡¯s. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m the Lin Fan you¡¯re talking about,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°What?¡± Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s tone was full of doubt. Even though Lin Xiaoyao knew that Lin Fan¡¯s grades were very good in the past, she definitely would not think that Lin Fan had solved two of the world¡¯s most difficult math problems. That was because even if Lin Fan was good at his studies, he would only be able to get into a top university. ¡°I just said that the person who solved two of the world¡¯s most difficult math problems is me!¡± Lin Fan continued. There was no sound from the phone. ¡°Lil Yao?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Brother, is what you just said¡­ real?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked. ¡°Yeah!¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°F*ck! F*ck!¡± Lin Xiaoyao shouted. ¡­ After Lin Fan found out about his grandfather¡¯s 70th birthday, he was not in the mood to continue with his lessons. Ever since Lin Fan solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, all the teachers agreed that he could skip class at will. However, Lin Fan still called his counselor, Sun Yaodong, to ask for leave. After that, he called his parents to tell them about the chef and ingredients for his grandfather¡¯s birthday¡­ He would arrange everything. He wanted his grandfather¡¯s birthday to be grand and lively! Then, Lin Fan went straight to Jiangbei Grand Hotel. A few days ago, Lin Fan had come here for a meal. Even if it was just a normal side dish, it was still delicious. Obviously, the chef of Jiangbei Grand Hotel was very good at cooking. Therefore, Lin Fan thought of inviting a few chefs from Jiangbei Grand Hotel to help with his grandfather¡¯s birthday banquet. When Lin Fan entered Jiangbei Grand Hotel, he said to the attendant, ¡°Get your manager here.¡± The attendant hesitated for a moment. After all, not everyone could meet the manager just because they wanted to. However, after he saw Lin Fan¡¯s face, he quickly remembered that he had come to eat with Elder Qin and the others not long ago. Thus, the attendant quickly ran to the manager¡¯s office. After a while, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses ran over. That day, the attendant had only taken a quick glance at Lin Fan, but he had remembered his face. The manager had been leading the way and had even helped to deliver the dishes a few times. He also remembered Lin Fan¡¯s appearance clearly. It was no wonder he remembered Lin Fan¡¯s face. Too many important people had come to that meal. Lin Fan was the only young man among the big shots. In the end, he even sat next to Elder Qin. It was impossible for the manager to forget such a special person even if he wanted to. ¡°Hello, my name is Zhang Shanfeng. You can call me Lil Zhang. Do you have any orders?¡± the manager bowed slightly and asked respectfully. ¡°I¡¯m Lin Fan. I¡¯m making preparations for my grandfather¡¯s birthday party. I would like to hire a few chefs from your restaurant to host a banquet for two days. I wonder if it¡¯s okay with you, Manager Zhang?¡± Lin Fan asked directly. If it were an ordinary person who raised such a question, Zhang Shanfeng would definitely curse out and ask them to get out. Hire a few chefs from the restaurant? How could one even have the galls to make such a request? Were they kidding? Did they not know where they were? However, Zhang Shanfeng¡¯s face was filled with joy at Lin Fan¡¯s request. ¡°It¡¯s our honor that you¡¯ve taken a liking to our chefs,¡± he said without hesitation. Honored? That was right! With Lin Fan¡¯s status, it was indeed an honor that he had taken a liking to the food at Jiangbei Grand Hotel! Chapter 108 - 108 Opening the 1,050 Red Packets; Old Master Zhous Decision 108 Opening the 1,050 Red Packets; Old Master Zhou¡¯s Decision Not long after, three chefs of medium build came to Lin Fan. Originally, Lin Fan wanted to pay Zhang Shanfeng the hiring fee. However, Zhang Shanfeng insisted on not accepting it, so Lin Fan could only give up. Then, Lin Fan and the three chefs went to Big Pot Vegetable Market. When the three chefs arrived, they were obviously surprised. Although the name of the vegetable market sounded old-fashioned, it was the most luxurious market in Jiangbei, also known as Market No. 1. There were all kinds of top-grade meat, fruits, and vegetables here. A bunch of ordinary-looking grapes cost a few hundred yuan. The three chefs already knew that their mission this time was to help hold a birthday banquet. In that case, they would definitely need to buy a lot of ingredients. These ingredients¡­ Were they going to buy them all at Big Pot Vegetable Market? Very quickly, Lin Fan confirmed their thoughts. ¡°Let¡¯s buy ingredients for 30 tables first. 100,000 yuan per table,¡± Lin Fan said. The three chefs were stunned again. Clearly, they were still in disbelief. 100,000 yuan per table! Even in a five-star hotel, such a price would be considered the highest standard of food. Now, they were going to spend that amount of money just on the ingredients? The chef standing in the middle asked, ¡°Mr. Lin, does the 100,000 yuan include alcohol?¡± Lin Fan shook his head and said, ¡°Alcohol isn¡¯t included.¡± After the three chefs received Lin Fan¡¯s approval, they did not hesitate any longer and walked into Big Pot Vegetable Market. Squab, shrimp, top-grade Wagyu, suckling pork, goat meat, organic tomatoes, space pepper¡­ The three chefs had never personally bought these ingredients before, so they really had a good time today. While they were choosing the ingredients, Lin Fan had also chosen the wine and drinks. In the end, the total cost was four million yuan. Lin Fan did not hesitate at all. He immediately paid with his card. Instantly, a crisp notification sound rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve spent four million yuan this time. Do you want to use the 10x interest card?] Lin Fan chose ¡®confirm.¡¯ Not long after, his phone vibrated. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 40 million yuan was deposited into your account.] Lin Fan looked at the large number of high-grade ingredients and alcohol that were being moved into the truck. He had a strange expression on his face. Not only did he not spend money, but he also earned money? Lin Fan took advantage of the time when he was moving the ingredients and found a place with no one around. He took out his phone and looked at the 1,050 red packets on the screen. Lin Fan bought furniture, completed the feasting mission, and spent a total of 6.5 million yuan. For every 10,000 yuan spent, he could open a red packet. However, Lin Fan planned to open all 1,000 red packets at the same time. Hence, he had not touched the red packets. Today, he spent another four million yuan, making it a total of 10.5 million yuan, which was just more than 1,000 red packets. ¡°1,050 red packets. Let¡¯s see what I can get,¡± Lin Fan mumbled. ¡°Open all of them!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received two yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,000 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a jade chess set. It¡¯s transparent, warm, and soft. It¡¯s extraordinary.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received four yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a 10x spending return card. The better the spending, the better the harvest.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 51% of Xiao Wu¡¯s Wholesale City shares. It¡¯s one of the largest wholesale markets in Hua Nation. The items are cheap and of good quality.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a skill doubling card. It¡¯s able to double the ability of a specific skill for an hour. With more powerful skills, you can display more charm.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Expert Hacking Skills. You understand the network structure, can solve network problems, and can display extraordinary charm!] ¡­ From the 1,050 red packets, Lin Fan received a total of 1.02 million yuan, a 10x spending return card, 51% shares of Xiao Wu¡¯s Wholesale City, a doubling skill card, Expert Hacking Skills, and other things. It could definitely be considered a great harvest. Lin Fan could not help but smile. ¡°Not a bad harvest!¡± When he raised his head, he saw a crystal clear chess set in front of him. He muttered, ¡°I was planning to go to the jewelry store to buy Grandfather a birthday gift, but it seems like there¡¯s no need for that now.¡± By then, all the ingredients had been moved into the truck. Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and led the way. The truck followed behind him and headed straight to his hometown in Qing City. ¡­ In the capital, the Zhou family¡¯s courtyard was filled with trees and flowers that were in full bloom. The Zhou family¡¯s old master, Zhou Guotao, sipped his tea and played with the parrot. He was very pleased. At this time last year, Zhou Guotao was bedridden. His body was still very weak, and he could not be this relaxed. Now, the only reason he was able to do so was that Lin Fan had fed him Medical Water. Not only did the Medical Water save Zhou Guotao from the gates of hell, but it also cured many of his illnesses. At this moment, the second son of the Zhou family, Zhou Shihong, walked over and said, ¡°Old man, there¡¯s some news from Jiang province.¡± ¡°Oh? Let me see,¡± Zhou Guotao said. Zhou Shihong handed over a stack of documents. Zhou Guotao slowly opened it. His old face, which was as calm as an ancient well, moved slightly at first, then revealed a look of surprise that could not be concealed. ¡°He solved two difficult math problems but didn¡¯t report it. Then, he saved Qin Weiming¡¯s grandson¡­ Lin Fan, you¡¯re even more amazing than I thought!¡± Zhou Shihong, who was standing beside him, was greatly shocked. One had to know that the reason why the Zhou family had become a top family was all due to Old Master Zhou¡¯s efforts! Old Master Zhou had seen countless talents in his life, and his vision was definitely higher than the sky! Now, he had such a high evaluation of a young man in his 20s! It was simply unimaginable! ¡°In the past, I thought that I should slowly get closer to Lin Fan. But now, it doesn¡¯t seem appropriate!¡± Zhou Guotao muttered. ¡°Lin Fan¡¯s grandfather is going to celebrate his 70th birthday in two days, right?¡± At that moment, Zhou Shihong was still immersed in the old man¡¯s evaluation of Lin Fan. He was unable to extricate himself. ¡°Yes,¡± he responded after a while. Zhou Guotao nodded his head and said, ¡°Lin Fan saved my life. It¡¯s only right for me to personally pay a visit to his grandfather to celebrate his birthday with him¡­¡± As soon as he said that, Zhou Shihong, who was standing at the side, felt as if a storm had been set off in his heart. He was extremely shocked! One had to know¡­ The Zhou family was one of the most powerful families in Hua Nation, and Old Master Zhou was the head of the Zhou family! All these years, Old Master Zhou rarely appeared at top-notch banquets, let alone attended birthday parties! Now, he was going to personally go to the village of Qing City to celebrate Lin Fan¡¯s grandfather¡¯s birthday? It was only his 70th birthday too? One had to know that Old Master Zhou himself was already close to 80 years old! Chapter 109 - 109 Welcome Back, Lin Fan! 109 Welcome Back, Lin Fan! Qing City, Shanwu Village. More than a decade ago, there was only a very narrow path that could lead to Shanwu Village. Even if it was just a small car, it would be very difficult to pass through. Of course, there were no small cars in Shanwu Village at that time. Every time it rained, the path would turn into a mud pit, making it impossible to walk on. More than ten years had passed, and two broad cement roads had been built in Shanwu Village. Many people had already started driving small cars. This morning, in a small house in the middle of the village¡­ Lin Tao, Dai Weixue, and Lin Xiaoyao split up the work. They either wiped the tables, boiled water, pasted the word ¡®longevity,¡¯ on things, or hung lanterns¡­ They were very busy. It was obvious that this was Lin Fan¡¯s hometown. It was also the place where he had lived before he turned 12. Lin Xiaoyao said, ¡°Dad, the word ¡®longevity¡¯ doesn¡¯t look right. Turn it a little to the left. Yes, yes!¡± Not long after, the whole house was covered with the word ¡®longevity¡¯ and hung up with red lanterns, making it look very festive. Lin Xiaoyao took out her phone and took a few photos, her face full of smiles. It was obvious that she was very satisfied with her ¡®masterpiece.¡¯ ¡°Lil Fan said that he¡¯ll be in charge of the ingredients and the chef. Why isn¡¯t he back yet? He can¡¯t be too late,¡± Dai Weixue said worriedly. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Lin Tao said. Lin Xiaoyao relaxed. ¡°Dad, Mom, don¡¯t worry. Since Brother said he¡¯ll take responsibility, there won¡¯t be any problems!¡± When the morning sun shone through the cracks in the trees, a sound came from the distance. Then, a huge Mercedes-Benz G-Class and a truck drove over slowly. Lin Xiaoyao said happily, ¡°Look, he¡¯s back!¡± The distance between Jiangbei City and Shanwu Village in Qing City was not far. However, Lin Fan needed to buy some things. In addition, he also had to arrange for the chefs¡¯ accommodation. Therefore, he did not come to Shanwu Village last night. ¡°Brother, what¡¯s with that truck behind you?¡± Lin Xiaoyao walked over and asked. Lin Fan replied, ¡°It¡¯s carrying the ingredients for the birthday banquet.¡± At this time, the three chefs slowly moved all kinds of ingredients down. Lin Tao followed to help and said, ¡°We¡¯ll be cooking outside today¡­¡± After all, according to the plan, there were more than 20 tables today. If they were to cook in the kitchen at home, it would be too crowded. An old man with white hair and a thin body but a straight back walked out. When Lin Fan saw the old man, his heart trembled as he shouted excitedly, ¡°Grandpa!¡± This old man was Lin Fan¡¯s grandfather, Lin Liqiang! In Lin Fan¡¯s memory, his grandfather often wore a military green coat or a white short-sleeved shirt. Today, he had changed into a white shirt and looked radiant. Lin Liqiang nodded at Lin Fan and said, ¡°Lil Fan, you¡¯re back?¡± His voice was very deep, unlike the loving tone of an ordinary old man. However, Lin Fan knew that it was not because his grandfather did not love him. It was because his grandfather had always been cold on the outside but warm on the inside. On one hand, it was because of his personality. On the other hand, it was a habit formed when he was a soldier. ¡°That¡¯s right, Grandpa. Is your body okay?¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Lin Liqiang said. At this moment, a slightly hoarse voice came from the room. ¡°Is Lil Fan back?¡± Then, Lin Fan¡¯s short-haired grandma, Zhang Guidan, who was wearing a plaid shirt, walked out. ¡°Grandma!¡± Lin Fan shouted excitedly. ¡°Let me see how my Lil Fan is doing.¡± As Zhang Guidan spoke, she touched Lin Fan¡¯s head and pinched his arm. Then, she happily nodded and said, ¡°Lil Fan is stronger than before!¡± Unlike his grandfather¡¯s imposing manner and his character which was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, his grandmother was kind. She was warm on the outside and also on the inside. ¡°Grandma, how are you feeling?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Your grandfather and I eat three meals a day. We eat a big bowl of rice for each meal. We¡¯re in good health!¡± Zhang Guidan smiled happily. When Lin Fan heard this, he was extremely happy. However, with a slight thought, he still spent 20 million to buy two bottles of Medical Water from the system. ¡°Grandpa, Grandma, try this,¡± said Lin Fan as he passed the Medical Water over. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± asked Zhang Guidan. ¡°It¡¯s a drink. I heard that it also has some health benefits,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Oh, really? Then I¡¯ll have to try it. ¡± Zhang Guidan laughed. When Lin Liqiang heard this, he did not ask much and directly poured it into his mouth. Lin Fan saw that Grandpa and Grandma had drunk it all and felt a little more at ease. He remembered that his grandparents had arthritis, and they would feel very uncomfortable every winter. Now that they had drunk the Medical Water, he believed that it would not be like this in the future. Then, Lin Fan took out the jade chess set and said, ¡°Grandpa, I wish you good fortune and longevity!¡± Lin Liqiang said, ¡°Lil Fan, you¡¯re so considerate!¡± Zhang Guidan sighed. ¡°What a beautiful chess set! Your grandpa has wanted to change to another set of chess for a long time. Today, he has finally gotten what he wanted!¡± ¡°The relatives aren¡¯t here yet, so there¡¯s nothing much to do. Lil Fan, why don¡¯t you play with your grandpa with this new chess set?¡± Lin Liqiang pointed to the door and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, Lil Fan. We¡¯ll play chess there.¡± Lin Liqiang was not like the average old man who liked to play mahjong. When he had nothing to do, he liked to play Go. Now that he had obtained a chess set like this, he immediately became interested. Lin Fan naturally would not reject him. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. The two of them had just arrived at the gate¡­ At this time, the three chefs had already arranged all the ingredients neatly. Then, they quickly washed and prepared them. The light that came from their blades was like a shadow, extremely swift. Lin Xiaoyao had never seen anyone cook like this before. It was as if she had just seen legendary saber experts. She was completely stunned. Lin Liqiang could not help but look in the direction of the kitchen. He nodded and said, ¡°What great cooking skills!¡± Then, he sat down and placed the chess set down. However, before the two of them could start playing chess, a series of footsteps came from outside the corridor. A group of people walked in. They had gifts in their hands, and their faces were full of smiles. ¡°Grandpa, I wish you good health!¡± ¡°Old man, I wish you a long life!¡± ¡­ Among these people were Lin Fan¡¯s uncles and aunties, who were all relatives. With their relatives here, it was naturally not good to continue playing chess. Thus, Lin Liqiang stood up and smiled, ¡°Sorry to trouble you to come all the way here.¡± ¡°Old man, you¡¯re being too polite.¡± ¡°Yup! We should be here!¡± All the relatives answered. Lin Tao, Dai Weixue, and Zhang Guidan, as the hosts, rushed forward to accept the gifts. ¡°You¡¯ve traveled far,¡± they said with concern. ¡°Quickly sit down and drink some water.¡± ¡­ According to the rules of Qing City, when relatives arrived, they had to set off firecrackers. Firstly, it was to show respect to the relatives and welcome them. Secondly, it was to inform the villagers that their family was going to hold a happy event. However, before Lin Tao could light the firecrackers, a series of crackling sounds could be heard from the west side of the village. Lin Tao¡¯s body could not help but freeze. Chapter 110 - 110 Fighting Spirit; No Need to Wait for the Future! 110 Fighting Spirit; No Need to Wait for the Future! In fact, Lin Tao was not the only one who was stunned. Dai Weixue, Lin Liqiang, Zhang Guidan, and the others all looked toward the west of the village with doubtful eyes. According to Shanwu Village¡¯s rules, except for New Year¡¯s, festivals, and wedding events, firecrackers were not usually set off. Today was obviously not a holiday. In addition, they did not seem to have heard of anyone¡¯s family holding a wedding. When Lin Xiaoyao saw that her father was going to set off firecrackers, she had already stood far away and covered her ears. At this moment, she saw her father stop and could not help but call out, ¡°Dad, are you still going to light up the firecrackers?¡± ¡°Yes, of course!¡± After Lin Tao finished speaking, he lit a cigarette and put it in front of the fuse. The loud sound of firecrackers rang through the entire Shanwu Village. The red remnants of the firecrackers scattered in all directions, making the scene even more lively and festive. All the relatives greeted each other, and the atmosphere was very good. Not long after, a round-faced man slowly walked over while carrying a table. When he saw Lin Fan, his face revealed a look of surprise and joy, ¡°Lil Fan? When did you come back? Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± This man was called Chi Zengyi, and he lived behind Lin Fan¡¯s old house. They were of the same age. Since Shanwu Village only had one primary school, there was only one class for each grade. Therefore, Lin Fan and Chi Zengyi had always been classmates. They studied together in class and played together after school. They were very good friends. ¡°I just arrived,¡± Lin Fan said. At this moment, Dai Weixue walked over and said, ¡°Lil Yi, it¡¯s been hard on you. I asked to borrow your table and even had you move it over.¡± Usually, when a family held a wedding in Shanwu Village, they would invite their friends and family, as well as everyone in the village, to have a meal and hold a banquet. Normally, there would be more than a hundred people, including relatives, friends, and villagers. They would need to use at least ten tables. Naturally, there were not that many tables for the party. Therefore, the villagers of Shanwu Village would take the initiative to lend out their tables and chairs. ¡°Aunt, you¡¯re being too polite,¡± Chi Zengyi said. ¡°Lil Yi, I heard people setting off firecrackers on the west side of the village. Which family is having a wedding today?¡± Lin Tao asked. ¡°It¡¯s Wang Shaodong¡¯s family¡­ I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on with his family, but he suddenly said yesterday afternoon that his grandfather is also having his 70th birthday today!¡± Chi Zengyi said. With that, Lin Tao, Dai Weixue, Lin Liqiang, and Zhang Guidan¡¯s faces all turned ugly¡­ This was definitely done on purpose! Wang Shaodong¡¯s grandfather was called Wang Yaping. The fields of the Wang family and the Lin family were connected. It had rained heavily one year, and the fields were filled with water. Lin Fan¡¯s grandfather, Lin Liqiang, was worried that the crops would drown, so he used a hoe to dig a ditch along the fields of the two families to make the water flow away faster. It was this ditch that had caused the Wang and Lin families to be at odds for decades. This was because Wang Yaping felt that Lin Liqiang had crossed the line by taking his own land as Lin Liqiang¡¯s property. Thus, he often gossiped in the village. Lin Liqiang, on the other hand, thought that he had done a good thing, but he was misunderstood and framed. He was extremely angry and directly argued with Wang Yaping. The two families had been quarreling non-stop and had been hostile to each other until now. Later, someone in Lin Liqiang¡¯s family gave birth to a grandson, so Wang Yaping also wanted a grandson! Lin Liqiang¡¯s family bought a house outside, so Wang Yaping also bought one¡­ The overt and covert battles had never stopped. In the beginning, it was indeed over some farmland. However, as time passed, it was not just about the fields; it was about dignity! Lin Liqiang had already told the village that today was his 70th birthday banquet. Yesterday afternoon, Wang Yaping informed the village that he was also having his 70th birthday banquet today. Was Wang Yaping not clearly opposing him? The birthday banquets of the two families were held at the same time. Where should the villagers go? Wang Yaping was asking them to make a choice! According to Shanwu Village¡¯s rules, they would choose the family with the higher status. If there were two families holding a wedding, unless the villagers had a particularly good relationship with the family, they would usually choose to go to the family with a higher status to congratulate them. It was considered a welcome and respect for the ¡®VIP.¡¯ Lin Liqiang¡¯s family did not have any relatives or friends with particularly high status. Wang Yaping had a son who was said to be the general manager of a company in Qing City. He also had a nephew who was a leader in the education world of Qing City. It was clear which family had relatives and friends of high status! A person only had one 70th birthday in their life. It would be too embarrassing if no one came to offer their congratulations today. At this time, tall and cool cars were driving to the west of the village. Then, the crackling of firecrackers immediately rang out. The villagers of Shanwu Village had obviously noticed the commotion as well, and they all rushed to the west of the village. At this time, in front of Wang Yaping¡¯s house, there were six or seven luxury cars, including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and so on. It was very extravagant. The entire ground was covered in the remnants of the firecrackers, and it looked as if a red carpet had been laid out. Many villagers were carrying tables and walking toward Wang Yaping¡¯s house. ¡°Uncle Li, thank you for coming to the birthday banquet. ¡°Uncle Zhang, I¡¯ve really troubled you. You even brought a table and a bench¡­ ¡°Quickly sit down and have some tea.¡± The entire place was as lively as a market. Wang Yaping was wearing a Tang suit today, and his hair was dyed black. However, the wrinkles on his face and his hunched back could not hide his age. ¡°The birthday star is here! ¡°Greetings! I wish you longevity and good health!¡± ¡­. When everyone saw Wang Yaping walk out, they all greeted him. ¡°Thank you, everyone, for coming to my birthday banquet.¡± Wang Yaping laughed. Wang Yaping looked at the villagers in front of the door with a smile on his old face. It truly was a happy birthday. At the same time, he was even happier to be able to compete with Lin Liqiang! ¡­. Compared to the lively scene at Wang Yaping¡¯s house, Lin Liqiang¡¯s house seemed a little deserted. Only a few villagers who had good relationships with him came over with tables and chairs. There were only a few tables scattered in front of the empty house. Without a large number of villagers, the few tables and chairs were enough. Lin Liqiang did not have any intention of blaming the villagers for their choice. After all, it had always been a tradition of the Shanwu Village to respect their guests. However¡­ After all, this was his birthday banquet, but it was so deserted now. He could not help but feel a little unhappy. Chi Zengyi also seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a little off. He complained, ¡°Wang Shaodong¡¯s family is too underhanded! They even want to mess up such a happy event! They just have a few powerful relatives, no?¡± ¡°When Lil Fan becomes a big boss and holds a wedding, let¡¯s see what Wang Shaodong¡¯s family will do!¡± Lin Fan patted Chi Zengyi¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Perhaps we don¡¯t have to wait for the future.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of cars roaring could be heard at the village entrance. Then, one, two, three¡­ A black mass of luxury cars drove over from the distance. Finally, they stopped right in front of Lin Fan. Chapter 111 - 111 Congratulations; The CEOs Surprise 111 Congratulations; The CEOs¡¯ Surprise All the relatives and villagers were confused when they saw the cars. They all looked at Lin Tao and Lin Liqiang. However, how would Lin Tao and Lin Liqiang know what the situation was? They were also filled with confusion. ¡°Could it be relatives of Old Man Wang¡¯s family?¡± someone asked in a low voice. As soon as these words were spoken, many people revealed a hint of hesitation. They were hesitating whether they should go to the Wang family¡¯s house. Although they did not know the specific models and prices of these cars, they recognized the logo of Mercedes-Benz and BMW in front of the cars. These¡­ They were all expensive luxury cars! They were all distinguished guests! So many important guests! Creak! Creak! While some of the villagers were hesitating, the car door slowly opened. Men and women in suits and leather shoes, dressed in gorgeous clothes, came down one after another. Among them, the round-faced and good-natured middle-aged man, Wang Zhongde, strode in front of Lin Fan and said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± More than a month ago, Lin Fan had become the group leader of Qiankun building after gaining majority shares. In the group, there was Wang Zhongde, the property manager, and the boss of the company who rented the office building. Yesterday, after Lin Fan found out that his grandfather was going to hold his 70th birthday banquet, he immediately sent out an invitation to the companies in Qiankun building. The bosses of those companies had long been full of curiosity about the boss of Qiankun building. Therefore, when they saw the invitation, unless they were out of town or had something urgent, they all rushed over. After the bosses heard Wang Zhongde¡¯s words, they could not help but secretly size up Lin Fan. Lin Fan smiled and nodded, then introduced, ¡°This is my grandfather.¡± ¡°So you¡¯re the birthday boy today, Elder Lin,¡± Wang Zhongde said immediately. ¡°If Mr. Lin didn¡¯t tell me, I would have thought you were his uncle.¡± This sentence was a compliment. However, it also somewhat contained the truth. That was because Lin Liqiang¡¯s mental state was good. In addition, he had just drunk the Medical Water, so he was even more energetic. At this time, Lin Liqiang, Lin Tao, and the villagers finally understood that the people who came out of the luxury cars were all here to celebrate Lin Liqiang¡¯s birthday, not Wang Yaping¡¯s. Lin Liqiang could not help but ask, ¡°You are¡­¡± ¡°Look at me. I haven¡¯t introduced myself yet.¡± Wang Zhongde quickly said, ¡°I¡¯m the property manager of Qiankun building. Elder Lin, I wish you good fortune and longevity!¡± As he spoke, he handed over a longevity peach made of pure gold. Behind Wang Zhongde, a middle-aged man in a black suit handed him a golden lock and said, ¡°I¡¯m the chairman of Ruide Corporation, Liang Feiyang. Elder Lin, I wish you a long and healthy life, and good fortune!¡± Beside him, a man in a white shirt handed him a red packet and said, ¡°I¡¯m the chairman of Yonglun Company, Zhuo Jun. Elder Lin, I wish you good health and all the best!¡± ¡­ Instantly, a wave of congratulatory sounds rang out. Everyone¡¯s mouth was half-open when they heard this, and their faces were full of surprise. When these people got out of their luxury cars, everyone had already guessed that they were of extraordinary status. However, after hearing their well-wishes and self-introductions, they realized that they were all bosses of companies! One had to know that there were more than a dozen people who had just come! In other words, more than a dozen company bosses came to congratulate Lin Liqiang? It was simply unimaginable! When the last person¡¯s introduction and blessings were over, Lin Liqiang finally came back to his senses. He laughed heartily and said, ¡°This is great! Thank you. Please sit down and have some tea. The banquet is about to begin!¡± Some of the elders sat down, while some chatted in low voices. Others were quietly observing the surrounding environment. At first, the bosses did not think much of it. This was because it seemed to be just an ordinary one-story house in a village. They could not help but have some doubts in their hearts. Was this really the hometown of the behind-the-scenes boss of Qiankun building? Was he not a little too ordinary? At this moment, two bosses heard the sound of people cooking and cutting vegetables. They turned their heads to take a look. It would have been better if they had not taken a look, but after they did, they could not peel their eyes away. The three chefs were waving their knives like shadows as they cooked quickly. How sharp were the eyes of the CEOs? At a glance, they could tell that the three chefs¡¯ cooking skills were very good. They were probably comparable to the average four-star or even five-star chefs! This was nothing. The key point was¡­ The ingredients they were cooking included top-grade pork, shrimp, and beef¡­ Especially when they saw the logo of Big Pot Market on the bags, the corners of their eyes twitched. They knew very well how expensive the ingredients in Big Pot Market were. That was a place known as Market No. 1! Even they had only been there once or twice. The dishes of this banquet were all made from Big Pot Market! How much did these ingredients cost? Gulp! The two bosses could not help but swallow their saliva. Lin Xiaoyao saw that so many people had come to celebrate her grandfather¡¯s birthday. She was also the host, so she should entertain them well. Generally speaking, if the banquet had not started yet, the guests should be allowed to play cards for entertainment. Unfortunately, there were no cards in the house. Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s eyes darted around, and soon, her gaze fell on the jade chess set not far away. Hence, she quickly walked up to the CEOs with the chess set in her arms and asked, ¡°Do you guys want to play chess?¡± A CEO in a black suit was about to wave his hand. The next moment, his entire body froze, and his eyes were locked on the chess set. In fact, he was not the only one. Many of the other CEOs were also focused on the chess set. ¡°It looks like jade?¡± someone said with uncertainty. The CEO in a blue shirt who was the closest did not say anything. He reached out with a trembling hand, picked up a chess piece, and looked at it carefully. After a long while, he said seriously, ¡°It¡¯s jade! Moreover, it¡¯s high-grade jade!¡± As soon as he said that, all the bosses around him gasped. One must know that the company of this blue shirt CEO was in the jewelry industry! He could be said to be an expert in the appraisal of jewelry and jade. He would definitely not be wrong! All the bosses present had a certain level of knowledge. They knew that some people used jade as bracelets, and some people used jade as pendants¡­ However, this was the first time they had seen someone use jade to make a chess set! How much would such a set of chess cost? 10 million? 20 million? ¡­ After buying such a chess set, they should put it in a safe to admire it secretly, right? However, the owner just took it out and let it be played like a normal chess set? This was a jade chess set! If it accidentally fell, how painful would it be? Whoosh! At this moment, Lin Xiaoyao lost her grip and a chess piece fell from the chessboard to the ground. Chapter 112 - 112 The Arrival of VIPs; Many Calls! 112 The Arrival of VIPs; Many Calls! Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s face was relaxed and unconcerned. The pupils of the CEOs sitting nearby contracted, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on their foreheads. They hurriedly stood up to catch the chess piece. This was a Jade chess piece! A single chess piece would probably cost over a million! Lin Xiaoyao seemed to have noticed the reactions of the CEOs. She reached out and caught the chess piece that was falling to the ground. Seeing this¡­ All the CEOs heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off their foreheads. ¡°Do any of you want to play chess?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked. Play with a jade chess set? In that case, would they not run the risk of some chess pieces falling off? ¡°I won¡¯t play.¡± ¡°Put away the chess set.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, put it in a better place.¡± All the CEOs spoke up and shook their heads. Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s pretty face was filled with a strange expression. ¡®If you don¡¯t want to play, then don¡¯t play. Why are you in such a hurry to put the chess set away?¡¯ Lin Xiaoyao took the chess set and placed it next to the door. Seeing this¡­ All the CEOs looked at each other. A jade chess set that was worth tens of millions was just placed at the door? At this moment, the sound of cars rumbling could be heard in the distance. Then, one, two, three¡­ Another large group of luxury cars drove over. Finally, they stopped in front of everyone. Then, just like before, many men and women in formal clothes came down. Lin Fan had seen one of them before. He was the general manager of Yinshan Mall in Qing City, Zhou Chengjun. Yesterday, Lin Fan and the three chefs were in Qing City. Coincidentally, he met Zhou Chengjun, who was accompanying a client. At that time, Zhou Chengjun was extremely excited. After some conversation, Lin Fan told him about his grandfather¡¯s 70th birthday. Therefore, Zhou Chengjun expressed on the spot that he would definitely go and congratulate them. After Zhou Chengjun and Lin Fan parted ways, he reported this matter to the chairman of Yinshan Group, Song Zhifeng. Song Zhifeng had always valued Lin Fan. He had never seen Lin Fan before despite Lin Fan being the biggest shareholder. Therefore, when he found out that Lin Fan¡¯s grandfather¡¯s birthday was coming up, he did not hesitate at all. He immediately led the company¡¯s upper management and took a flight to Qing City overnight. Song Zhifeng did not want Lin Fan to have other thoughts just because he did not attend the birthday party. What if this caused Lin Fan to suddenly intervene in the affairs of Yinshan Group? Then it would be too late for regrets. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. We finally meet.¡± Song Zhifeng said as he walked up to Lin Fan. As soon as he finished speaking, he took the initiative to extend his right hand. Lin Fan had never seen Song Zhifeng before. However, when he saw Zhou Chengjun standing beside him and being so respectful to him, he had a guess in his heart. ¡°Hello,¡± he said. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± The executives standing next to Song Zhifeng all greeted him respectfully. They did not dare to look down on Lin Fan just because he was young. One must know that Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder of Yinshan Group! As long as he was dissatisfied with them, they could be fired immediately! ¡°This is my grandfather.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Hello, Elder Lin. I wish you good health and all the best!¡± Song Zhifeng said hurriedly. At the same time, he handed over an exquisite jade Buddha. Lin Liqiang hesitantly accepted the gift and said, ¡°Thank you, thank you! And you are?¡± ¡°Oh, my name is Song Zhifeng. I¡¯m the chairman of Yinshan Group,¡± Song Zhifeng said. Not long ago, Lin Liqiang had already met a lot of CEOs. Therefore, his reaction to this was not too big. Wang Zhongde and the other CEOs who were standing not far away all widened their eyes with horror written all over their faces. They were indeed the bosses of various companies, but there was simply no way to compare their companies with Yinshan Group. Yinshan Group was a large enterprise with a market value of tens of billions! The chairman of such a large company had actually come personally to offer his birthday congratulations! Furthermore, there was even a hint of flattery in his tone. Sure enough, the boss behind Qiankun building was really amazing! ¡°I¡¯m the general manager of Yinshan Group, Xiang Liguo. Elder Lin, I wish you good fortune and longevity!¡± ¡°I¡¯m Yinshan Group¡¯s investment director, Ye Qing. Elder Lin, I wish you all the best!¡± ¡­ After Song Zhifeng¡¯s birthday wishes, the senior executives of Yinshan Group also gave their blessings and handed red packets or gifts. Zhou Chengjun, who had the lowest status at the scene, finally said, ¡°I¡¯m Zhou Chengjun, the general manager of Yinshan Mall in Qing City. Old Master Lin, I wish you all the best!¡± As soon as he said that, the expressions of the surrounding CEOs did not change. After all, the chairman of Yinshan Group and all the senior executives were here. This mere general manager of Yinshan Group could not impress them. However, some of the villagers cried out in surprise. ¡°I thought he looked familiar. He¡¯s the general manager of Qing City¡¯s Yinshan Mall! Qing City News even reported about him a while ago!¡± ¡°Amazing! Even the general manager of Yinshan Mall is here to Old Man Lin¡¯s birthday!¡± ¡°Why hasn¡¯t Old Zhang¡¯s family come yet? I¡¯ll make a call to rush him!¡± ¡°Where¡¯s Old Song¡¯s family?¡± ¡­. Then, the villagers took out their mobile phones and dialed the number of people they were familiar with. In fact, they knew that Old Zhang, Old Song, and the others were celebrating Wang Yaping¡¯s birthday. This was based on their village¡¯s custom, so there was nothing much to say. However, did the Lin family not have even more ¡®distinguished guests¡¯ now? Of course¡­ It was time to let these people come to the Lin family to celebrate Old Man Lin¡¯s birthday! ¡­. At this time, in the west of the village, in Wang Yaping¡¯s home. A meaty aroma slowly wafted out of the kitchen. The villagers sat together. They smelled the fragrance and chatted with more enthusiasm. At this moment, someone¡¯s phone rang loudly. The man answered the call. ¡°What? ¡°Are you telling the truth? ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll come over now!¡± Then, without even saying anything to anyone, he left. Others started receiving calls too. Those who did not pick up the calls either pulled their friends to ask and were full of curiosity¡­ Then, they followed them out. After a while, almost half of the people left Wang Yaping¡¯s house, and there were still people walking out. The originally crowded scene immediately became empty. Wang Yaping also noticed this and frowned. ¡°What are they doing?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go ask¡­¡± a middle-aged man said. Very quickly, the middle-aged man returned with an unsightly expression. ¡°They said that there are ten to 20 luxury cars parked in front of Old Lin¡¯s house.¡± ¡°A total of more than a dozen CEOs came to offer their congratulations. Even the general manager of Yinshan Mall in Qing City came¡­ so¡­¡± The middle-aged man did not finish his sentence, but Wang Yaping already understood. According to the village¡¯s principle, those villagers must have felt that Lin Liqiang¡¯s house had more distinguished guests, so they prioritized the Lin family more! Chapter 113 - 113 The Arrival of a Big Shot; The Shocked Crowd! 113 The Arrival of a Big Shot; The Shocked Crowd! Wang Yaping looked at the villagers who were leaving, and his face was extremely ugly. The reason why he chose to hold his birthday banquet today was that he wanted to step on Lin Liqiang. By now, most of the villagers had gone to Lin Liqiang¡¯s house. Would that not make him a joke instead? At this moment, Wang Yaping even had the urge to cancel his 70th birthday celebration. ¡­. At this moment, many villagers had already arrived at Lin Liqiang¡¯s house. They looked at the long row of luxury cars in the distance, their faces full of surprise. There was still a difference between hearing about it and seeing it with their own eyes. When they saw Lin Liqiang, they cupped their hands and greeted him. ¡°Greetings, old birthday boy!¡± ¡°Old birthday boy, you¡¯re so energetic today!¡± ¡­ Lin Liqiang listened to the greetings of the villagers and was very happy. He laughed heartily. ¡°Thank you, everyone. Thank you. Please come in and have some water first. Dinner will be ready in a while!¡± At that moment, the tables at the entrance were already filled with Maotai and other beverages. When the villagers saw this, their turbid eyes flickered with a faint light, and they could not help but swallow their saliva. Someone seemed to be worried that their eyes were playing tricks on them and said in a low voice, ¡°Is¡­ Is that Maotai?¡± ¡°I just checked on my phone. It¡¯s a Maotai that costs 5,000 yuan a bottle!¡± someone said. ¡°Hiss!¡± The villagers all gasped and could not wait to sit down. However, in the beginning, only a small number of villagers came, and there were only a few tables at the scene. How could they sit so many people? As a result, some of the villagers quickly returned home to move tables and chairs, while others returned to Wang Yaping¡¯s house and quietly moved their tables over. Although they did it quietly, Wang Yaping saw everything. He was so angry that his face turned red, but he was helpless. There was only a small number of villagers who came to Wang Yaping¡¯s house to celebrate his birthday. At this time, seeing the villagers returning to move the tables, this small group of people could not help but ask a few questions before more left. After a while, nearly 20 tables were set up in front of Lin Liqiang¡¯s house. The villagers and CEOs all sat around the table and talked about everything. The atmosphere was extremely lively. At this moment, two Rolls-Royces drove over from a distance. Then, Zhou Guotao, Zhou Shihong, and four muscular bodyguards in black suits walked down slowly. The villagers had seen quite a few luxury cars. However, they had never seen such an extended version before. They could not help but look up curiously. In contrast to the villagers¡¯ curiosity, Song Zhifeng and the other CEOs were surprised, and at the same time, they felt a sense of familiarity. They were surprised¡­ The two cars were the extended version of the Rolls-Royce. They were luxury cars that cost millions. As for the sense of familiarity¡­ It came from the old man standing at the very front. The elders felt like they had seen him somewhere before. When Lin Fan saw Zhou Guotao, he was equally surprised. He quickly went up to him and said, ¡°Grandpa Zhou, why are you here?¡± After all, Zhou Guotao¡¯s status was extraordinary, and he was even older than his grandfather. Now that he had come personally to offer his congratulations, Lin Fan naturally had to give him the greatest respect. Zhou? In the minds of Song Zhifeng and the other CEOs, a legendary figure gradually overlapped with the old man in front of them. Everyone¡¯s eyes widened, their faces filled with shock and disbelief. It was him! He was the pillar of the Zhou family, Zhou Guotao! That was right! It was him! Beside him was the second son of the Zhou family, Zhou Shihong! Heavens! Lin Fan actually knew someone from the Zhou family. In fact, the old master of the Zhou family had even personally come to congratulate Lin Fan¡¯s grandfather! What was Lin Fan¡¯s identity? ¡°It¡¯s your grandfather¡¯s birthday. How can I not come?¡± Zhou Guotao laughed heartily. Then, he turned to Lin Liqiang and said, ¡°Brother Lin, I wish you good health and good luck.¡± As he spoke, he handed over a jade scepter. Obviously, Zhou Guotao had seen Lin Liqiang¡¯s photo before, so he could recognize him at a glance. Lin Liqiang immediately said, ¡°Thank you, Brother. It¡¯s really an honor to have an old man like you wish me a happy birthday. How should I address you, Brother?¡± On the one hand, Lin Liqiang also vaguely felt that Zhou Guotao¡¯s identity was not ordinary. On the other hand, it was usually the younger people who wished the older people well. Zhou Guotao was obviously older than Lin Liqiang. Therefore, Lin Liqiang did not dare to be arrogant. Zhou Guotao laughed. ¡°Lin Fan saved my life. You can even say that he saved the entire Zhou family. It¡¯s Brother Lin¡¯s birthday, so, of course, I have to come to congratulate you!¡± After a pause, he added, ¡°By the way, my name is Zhou Guotao.¡± As soon as he said this, the hearts of the CEOs standing not far away beat violently again. They had already guessed Zhou Guotao¡¯s identity. However, after hearing him admit it, they could not help but be extremely surprised. At the same time, all the CEOs looked at Lin Fan with even more respect. The future of Zhou Guotao¡¯s savior would be limitless! At this moment, the sound of cars was heard from afar. Then, one, two, three¡­ Another black mass of cars drove over quickly. Everyone at the scene¡­ Everyone, including Song Zhifeng, the CEOs, and all the villagers, stood up when they saw the cars driving over. Their faces were full of disbelief and horror! This was because the front and back of these vehicles were Audi cars, while the cars in the middle were army-green jeeps. If it was only that, they would not have such a huge reaction. The key was the license plates of these cars! A00001, A00002, A00003¡­ K00001, K00002, K00003¡­ They all knew what these license plates meant. They were the cars of the leaders of Jiang province and Qing City! In everyone¡¯s eyes, these were not cars at all but a group of immortals! Everyone wanted to go up and welcome them, but they were afraid of colliding with the immortals and gods. They just stood on the spot and looked from afar, their faces at a loss. Swish! Finally, all the cars stopped. Then, a large group of big shots that only existed in the news and newspapers got out of the car. The person standing in front was Elder Qin, Qin Weiming, whom Lin Fan had met not long ago! Qin Weiming strode forward and laughed heartily. ¡°Lin Fan, I heard that it¡¯s your grandfather¡¯s birthday today, so I came over to take a look. I hope I didn¡¯t disturb you?¡± As soon as he said that, everyone present was shocked again. One had to know that the city leaders and the others were all like his lackeys. They all followed this old man! All of this showed how terrifying the old man¡¯s identity was! This elderly man was here to offer his congratulations because of Lin Fan? Lin Fan¡­ What was his identity? Chapter 114 - 114 Since When Did You Like to Joke Around? It’s All Real! 114 Since When Did You Like to Joke Around? It¡¯s All Real! No one dared to look at Qin Weiming. They could only turn their shocked gazes onto Lin Fan. In fact, Lin Fan did not expect Qin Weiming to come. ¡°We¡¯re very happy that you¡¯re here,¡± he said with a smile. ¡°How could you be disturbing us?¡± After all, Lin Fan¡¯s original goal was to hold a lively birthday banquet for his grandfather. The more people came, the better it was. Qin Weiming nodded and strode forward. He said to Lin Liqiang, ¡°Greetings. I wish you longevity!¡± Lin Liqiang was also very clear about Qin Weiming¡¯s identity. Seeing that he personally came to celebrate his birthday, he said happily, ¡°Thank you, thank you!¡± He had never thought that there would be so many important people coming to his 70th birthday banquet. He was so excited that he did not know what to say. Qin Weiming smiled. ¡°I came in a hurry and didn¡¯t prepare any gifts. I wrote a piece of calligraphy as a congratulatory gift. I hope you don¡¯t mind.¡± As he spoke, he raised his hand slightly. The middle-aged man beside him opened a scroll. On the scroll, the words ¡®happiness and longevity¡¯ were written in large characters, and there was a signature on the lower right corner¡ªQin Weiming! After seeing this name, everyone¡¯s heart started beating wildly again. Even though they had already guessed that this old man had an extraordinary background, no one expected it to be the legendary Qin Weiming, Elder Qin! He was a famous general who had won every battle! Lin Liqiang used to be a soldier, and the person he admired the most was Qin Weiming! He had never seen Qin Weiming in person before. Qin Weiming had even given him a piece of calligraphy. Lin Liqiang felt like he was in a dream. His entire face was flushed red. He was extremely happy. After a long time, Lin Liqiang¡¯s hands trembled as he slowly took the scroll. Then, Qin Weiming turned to Zhou Guotao and smiled. ¡°Guotao, long time no see!¡± In fact, Qin Weiming had his own reasons for coming to the birthday party today. Firstly, Lin Fan had saved his grandson not long ago. Secondly, he had taken a fancy to Lin Fan¡¯s abilities. Lin Fan could save people, was a mathematician, was the leader of Dragon Division¡¯s Team 10, and so on. Thirdly, he knew that Zhou Guotao was also coming to celebrate his birthday. After some consideration, Qin Weiming came. If the leaders of the Jiang province did not know that Qin Weiming was in their territory, they would not need to accompany him. However, since they knew, they had to follow him. That was why there were so many people this time. As the head of the top family, Zhou Guotao naturally knew Qin Weiming. He smiled and said, ¡°Elder Qin, I thought that the next time I meet you would be National Day¡­¡± The two old men were chatting at the door, while everyone else stood to the side, not daring to make a sound. At this moment, Qin Weiming asked, ¡°Why are we all standing here? Today¡¯s main character is the birthday boy. Let¡¯s hurry in and sit down.¡± How would the crowd dare to disobey him? They all responded. However, with so many people here, the tables and chairs were not enough. Hence, the villagers quickly made way and ran towards the west of the village. Soon, they arrived at Wang Yaping¡¯s house. At this time, there were more than a dozen tables placed in front of Wang Yaping¡¯s house. They were filled with fragrant dishes, but only a few dozen people were sitting there, so it was very empty. Wang Yaping, who was sitting at the frontmost table, raised his glass and was about to say something. At this moment, many villagers suddenly rushed over. Wang Yaping saw this and could not help but smile. He thought to himself, ¡®It seems that they¡¯ve decided to attend my birthday banquet!¡¯ Wang Yaping opened his mouth and was ready to ask the villagers to sit down. The next moment, Wang Yaping was stunned. ¡°This table belongs to my family!¡± ¡°These chairs are also¡­¡± Then, the villagers actually put the food on the tables aside and ran out with the tables. Someone could not help but ask, ¡°What are you doing? Old Man Wang is still holding his birthday banquet!¡± Only then did the villagers stop for a moment. They also felt that it was not good to move the tables and chairs away directly. ¡°The leaders of Qing City and Jiang province have all gone to Old Lin¡¯s house. There aren¡¯t enough tables and chairs there!¡± As soon as that person said that, the scene fell silent for a moment. Someone said, ¡°You¡­ Since when did you like to joke around?¡± The big shots of Qing City and Jiang province? What kind of status was that? They were definitely big shots? Would they come to celebrate Lin Liqiang¡¯s birthday? This was simply impossible! ¡°Who¡¯s joking? Not only are the leaders of Qing City and Jiang province here, but Leader Qin Weiming is also here!¡± someone shouted while carrying a table. Then, he did not say anything more and quickly walked away. He had to hurry to Lin Liqiang¡¯s house! It was a rare opportunity to have a meal with so many important people. If he was a second late, it would be too late to regret it! The entire scene fell silent again. Qin Weiming¡­ Elder Qin was here too? He was the famous general! Did he come over? Wang Yaping and everyone else present had disbelief and shock written all over their faces. At this moment, a loud ring jolted everyone awake. A middle-aged man who worked in the education field of Qing City looked at the caller ID. It was his cousin. He had told him in advance that he would be late today and there was no need to wait for him. ¡°Cousin, why are there so many Audi cars parked in front of Old Lin¡¯s house? And the license plate numbers are A00001, A00002¡­¡± The middle-aged man did not hear the last part of the sentence clearly. It was as if a cannonball had exploded beside his head, causing a buzzing sound. Wang Yaping, who was standing next to him, sat down on a chair. He was extremely dejected and panicked. Wang Yaping had already heard the voice on the phone clearly. He knew that what the villagers had said was true. The leaders of Qing City and Jiang province¡­ as well as Qin Weiming and the others were probably really here! He had actually fought with Lin Liqiang for so many years. This was really¡­ He was really looking for death! ¡­ At this moment, the front door of Lin Liqiang¡¯s house was filled with tables. Lin Liqiang sat in the main seat at the request of Qin Weiming, Zhou Guotao, and the others. Zhang Guidan, Qin Weiming, Zhou Guotao, Lin Tao, Dai Weixue, Lin Fan, Lin Xiaoyao, and the leaders of the Jiang province sat down. The villagers were at other tables, casually surrounding them. Soon, the fragrant dishes were slowly served after the three chefs were done cooking. ¡°Let us wish the birthday boy good health!¡± Qin Weiming raised his glass. Immediately, everyone raised their glasses and shouted, ¡°We wish the birthday boy good health!¡± Lin Liqiang¡¯s entire mouth was already smiling from ear to ear as he happily said, ¡°Thank you, thank you, everyone!¡± Then, everyone drank the wine in their glasses. At this moment, a clear notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. Chapter 115 - 115 An Apology; Love Heart Products 115 An Apology; Love Heart Products When Lin Fan heard the notification in his head, he was stunned for a moment. Then, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile. He had helped his grandfather with his birthday banquet and even completed a mission. Killing two birds with one stone, not bad! ¡­ After the villagers drank some wine, they could not help but start discussing in low voices. ¡°It¡¯s indeed Maotai. It tastes so good!¡± ¡°Yup! My mouth is full of fragrance!¡± Then, the villagers started to eat. ¡°The taste of this dish is too good!¡± ¡°Especially this beef, it¡¯s so tender! I¡¯ve never had such tender beef before!¡± ¡°The drinks are also very good!¡± As they ate, they were amazed. In fact, it was no wonder that they were reacting like this. That was because the beef cost thousands of yuan per catty, and the beverage was MK drinks that cost hundreds of yuan per bottle¡­ The banquet lasted for more than two hours before the crowd slowly dispersed. Qin Weiming, the leaders of Jiang province, Zhou Guotao, Song Zhifeng, and the other CEOs did not stay for long. They drove away one after another. Generally speaking, after the guests left, the host had to clean up the dishes, wash the tables and chairs, and return them to the villagers. After all, this was the job of the host. However, today, it was completely different. ¡°Old Brother Lin, don¡¯t tire yourself out. Hurry up and rest.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll do it, I¡¯ll do it.¡± ¡°Old Lin, you can just sit there and drink some tea.¡± Lin Liqiang, Zhang Guidan, Lin Tao, Dai Weixue, and the others were forced to rest by the villagers. Meanwhile, the villagers were fighting to wash the dishes and wipe the tables and chairs. They were very busy. About an hour later, Lin Liqiang¡¯s house became neat and clean again. Except for the words ¡®birthday¡¯ on the wall and the big red lanterns, there were no traces of there ever being a birthday banquet. Lin Liqiang sat in his chair and recalled the birthday wishes of more than a dozen CEOs, the leaders of Jiang province, and even Elder Qin. He could not hold back his smile. He understood that the reason for this was all because of Lin Fan. Lin Liqiang patted Lin Fan¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Good job, Lil Fan!¡± Then, the family chatted for a while, and the atmosphere was extremely relaxed and carefree. Lin Tao and Dai Weixue offered to bring Lin Liqiang and Zhang Guidan to Fourth Street. Meanwhile, Lin Fan suggested buying a villa in the city so that the family could live together. However, they were all rejected by Lin Liqiang and Zhang Guidan. That was because they had already lived in Shanwu Village for more than half of their lives. They really did not want to move. Seeing that the sky was slowly turning dark, Lin Fan drove Lin Tao, Dai Weixue, Lin Xiaoyao, and the truck into the distance. Lin Fan and the others had just left for a while when¡­ The sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside Lin Liqiang¡¯s house. Then, Wang Yaping slowly walked over with a yellow face. He bent over and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Brother Lin, I¡¯ve let you down all these years¡­¡± ¡­ At that moment, Lin Fan had already sent his parents and sister back to Fourth Street. Lin Xiaoyao seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked, ¡°Brother, you said last time that you solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture? ¡± ¡°Yup,¡± Lin Fan replied casually. Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s mouth was wide open. ¡°This is too awesome! ¡± ¡°What are you talking about? I¡¯m your omnipotent brother!¡± Lin Fan smiled as he pinched Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s face. After a pause, she said, ¡°It¡¯s not nice to pinch. Remember to eat more!¡± ¡°Brother!¡± Lin Xiaoyao protested. ¡°What conjecture?¡± asked Lin Tao. ¡°Dad, it¡¯s Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture! They¡¯re some of the world¡¯s most difficult math problems!¡± Lin Xiaoyao said excitedly. It was as if she was the one who had answered the two difficult questions. Lin Tao and Dai Weixue looked at each other and were also shocked. However, they quickly returned to normal. After all, Lin Fan had invited the leaders of Jiang province, and Elder Qin. Now that he had solved two math problems, it seemed like¡­ it was not a big deal, right? Lin Fan looked at the time and said, ¡°Dad, Mom, I¡¯ll go back to Jiangbei first.¡± After all, he had promised Chu Yunyue that he would go and see the final product of Love Heart and its advertisement. Now that his grandfather¡¯s birthday banquet was over, Lin Fan could not go back on his words. ¡°Alright, be careful on the road,¡± Dai Weixue said. Lin Fan nodded and got into the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. He stepped on the accelerator and sped into the distance. ¡­ Jiangbei Grand Hotel. As the three chefs did not go to Lin Fan¡¯s house in town, they arrived in Jiangbei earlier than Lin Fan. Just as they were about to enter the kitchen, the general manager, Zhang Shanfeng, happened to see the three of them. He asked, ¡°You¡¯re back? How was Mr. Lin¡¯s grandfather¡¯s birthday party?¡± The three chefs were excited when this matter was mentioned. ¡°The leaders of Jiangbei city, Qing City, and Jiang province all went to the birthday party!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not just that! Elder Qin also went!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve really broadened my horizons today!¡± As Zhang Shanfeng listened to their words, he could not help but swallow his saliva. His face was filled with horror. Although he had seen Lin Fan eating with these important people not long ago, he did not expect that these big shots would personally go to the birthday celebration! What was Lin Fan¡¯s identity? ¡­ On the other hand, Lin Fan had finally arrived at Flower Stem¡¯s office in Jiangbei. Lin Fan had already been to Flower Stem a few times. Many employees knew that he had a good relationship with the president, Chu Yunyue. Therefore, when the employees saw Lin Fan, they all greeted him warmly. Lin Fan smiled in response. After a while, he arrived at the R&D center. Chu Yunyue was still mixing and testing the ingredients. She was very serious. When Chu Yunyue saw Lin Fan, her beautiful eyes immediately lit up as she said happily, ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯ve come at the right time. Take a look at our Love Heart¡¯s finished product. As she spoke, she picked up a tray. On the tray, there were seven different colored perfumes¡ªyellow, red, green, blue, purple, white, and gray. Lin Fan opened the bottles one by one and sniffed. ¡°How¡¯s the smell?¡± Chu Yunyue asked carefully. She was like a child waiting for her teacher to check her homework. She was both excited and nervous. Lin Fan did not reply immediately. He looked at the computer screen. In the image, a sweet girl was running around in a flower bush with colorful butterflies dancing behind her. When the girl stopped, the butterflies sprinkled pollen on her. Thus, it became the Love Heart series. ¡°This is our Love Heart¡¯s promotional video,¡± Chu Yunyue explained. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°The perfumes are not bad. The promotional video is also pretty good. It can be compared to Guerlain and Burberry.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Chu Yunyue said excitedly. It was as though everything Lin Fan said was the truth of the world! Chapter 116 - 116 The Moment of Life and Death; Enlightenment! 116 The Moment of Life and Death; Enlightenment! As she was too happy, Chu Yunyue¡¯s pretty face started to glow. Then, Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue chatted for about half an hour. Chu Yunyue had been very worried and nervous these few days. This was because the Love Heart collection of perfumes would be launched in the next few days. Chu Yunyue had invested a lot of time and money into the collection. If the perfumes did not perform well, she would not know what to do. However, after chatting with Lin Fan for half an hour today, the worry in Chu Yunyue¡¯s heart instantly disappeared. Her entire person became extremely relaxed. Originally, Chu Yunyue wanted to treat Lin Fan to a meal. However, Lin Fan had already eaten. Therefore, he could only give up on it. ¡­ The night was getting late. The entire Feiyang building gradually fell into darkness. A figure suddenly appeared in the tightly-locked door of Flower Stem¡¯s office. It was the researcher, Zhao Zhixiong. ¡°Chu Yunyue, the perfume that I¡¯ve worked so hard to develop for you for so many years can¡¯t even compare to the sweet words of that pretty boy Lin Fan! ¡°You¡¯re the one who let me down first, so don¡¯t blame me!¡± As Zhao Zhixiong spoke, he inserted the hard disk into the computer in the president¡¯s office. When the latest data was collected, Zhao Zhixiong took out a metal hammer and smashed it down. Sparks flew in all directions, illuminating his hideous and terrifying face! ¡­ After Lin Fan came out of the Feiyang building, he immediately drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and sped away. When he arrived at the traffic light not far away, a Mini Cooper car happened to stop at the side. Lin Fan took a casual look and realized that it was Hu Tian. ¡°Teacher Tiantian!¡± He called out. When Hu Tian heard the voice, she turned around slowly. When she saw Lin Fan, she said happily, ¡°Lin Fan!¡± Then, the two of them walked forward together. Not long after, Lin Fan arrived at Hu Tian¡¯s house. The two of them had not seen each other for a few days. Absence made the heart grow fonder. Once the door was closed, the air seemed to become unbearably hot. ¡°I¡¯ll get you a glass of water first,¡± Hu Tian said. However, Lin Fan just pulled her into his embrace. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ The two of them stayed up all night! ¡­ The next day. When Lin Fan opened his eyes, there was no one beside him. However, there was a faint fragrance that drifted to his nose. Lin Fan stood up slowly and walked out. There was a bowl of noodles, a plate of fried dumplings, and a cup of hot milk on the table. Hu Tian smiled and said, ¡°You must be hungry. Have some breakfast first.¡± Lin Fan rubbed his nose and smiled. ¡°I¡¯m really hungry. After saying that, he did not stand on ceremony and picked up the noodles to eat. After a short while, the big bowl of noodles, the whole plate of fried dumplings, and the glass of milk were all eaten up. Lin Fan said, ¡°Teacher Tiantian, you¡¯re so good at teaching, and your cooking skills are also good! If I get used to your food, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to eat other people¡¯s food in the future.¡± If anyone else had said this, Hu Tian would probably have thought that the other party was a glib-tongued person and would have felt disgusted. However, as it was Lin Fan, Hu Tian felt a sense of sweetness. ¡°As long as you like it, you can come and eat at any time,¡± Hu Tian said with a smile. ¡°Teacher Tiantian, you said it yourself!¡± Lin Fan said happily. The two of them chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Hu Tian was a little tired from last night, so she went back to her room to catch up on sleep after she cleaned up the dishes. Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class to Jiangbei University. When he passed by Zhongbei Street, a fragrance suddenly blew over. Lin Fan sniffed it gently, and his face was filled with surprise. That was because this fragrance was actually from the Love Heart collection that he had smelled yesterday. However, did Chu Yunyue not say that the perfumes would only go on sale in a few days? Why did he smell it on the streets today? Lin Fan looked to the side with doubt in his heart. He saw¡­ At the entrance of a perfume shop called Gentle Wind, there were many women standing in line. A few women were slowly walking out with newly bought perfumes. The perfume bottles looked similar to Love Heart¡¯s and were also divided into seven colors¡ªyellow, red, green, blue, purple, white, and gray. The fragrance was almost exactly the same as Love Heart¡¯s. Lin Fan looked through the crowd and into Gentle Wind¡¯s perfume shop. He could vaguely see the promotional video of Gentle Wind¡¯s perfume on the TV screen. The image in the video was almost exactly the same as the promotional video for Love Heart¡¯s collection that Lin Fan had seen yesterday! Lin Fan¡¯s brows furrowed as he came to a realization. Lin Fan did not go to Jiangbei University directly. Instead, he went to a nearby internet cafe. About ten minutes later, he returned to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and drove toward Feiyang building. ¡­ At the same time, on the 17th floor of Feiyang building, at Flower Stem. A few investigators were holding pens and paper, asking questions while taking notes. ¡°Who was the last one to leave the building yesterday?¡± a tall man asked. ¡°It was me. I was the last one to leave,¡± the beautiful receptionist said. ¡°Was the main door locked?¡± the tall investigator asked. ¡°It was locked,¡± the beautiful receptionist said. ¡°Every time I lock the door, I check it, so I¡¯m very sure.¡± ¡°Other than the computer in the president¡¯s office, were there any other losses?¡± he asked. ¡°No.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t lose anything.¡± All the employees shook their heads. ¡°Miss Chu Yunyue, do you have any valuable information on this computer?¡± the investigator asked. Chu Yunyue said anxiously, ¡°There¡¯s very important information stored inside! It contains all the detailed information of all the perfumes in Flower Stem!¡± ¡°Can the computer data still be recovered?¡± she asked. It could be said that this matter concerned the survival of the entire company! It was just information on ordinary perfumes. However, there was information on Love Heart that was about to be released on the market on the computer. One had to know¡­ Chu Yunyue had already spent a large amount of money to sign off on production, and publicity. There were also sales contracts with factories, internet platforms, television, physical stores, and other channels. Once the information in the computer was leaked, or if other perfume companies found out, then all the money Chu Yunyue had spent to sign these contracts would be gone! The entire Flower Stem would probably break because of this! The technician next to her shook his head and said, ¡°We can¡¯t do it¡­ The damage to the hard drive is too severe.¡± At this moment, a researcher hurriedly walked in and said, ¡°President, the Seven Mile Fragrance collection released by Gentle Wind is almost exactly the same as our Love Heart series!¡± As he spoke, he took out seven bottles of perfume that were yellow, red, green, blue, purple, white, and gray in color. A familiar and pleasant scent wafted through the air. Whoosh! In an instant, it was as if the air around Chu Yunyue had been sucked dry, and her pretty face instantly turned white. The thing that she was most afraid of¡­ still happened! The information about the Love Heart collection was lost and stolen. Flower Stem¡­ was done for! Chapter 117 - 117 Suspect; Lin Fan Makes a Move! 117 Suspect; Lin Fan Makes a Move! The expressions of Flower Stem¡¯s employees also changed drastically. Clearly, they had also guessed some things. ¡°A corporate spy!¡± a woman of medium build cried out. ¡°It must be a corporate spy who stole our information and destroyed the president¡¯s computer!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± ¡°It must be like this!¡± Many of the employees agreed. ¡°Do you have any suspects in mind?¡± the investigator asked. ¡°If it¡¯s really a spy as you say and they know the company very well, it might be an internal crime,¡± he added after a pause. As he spoke, he could not help but glance at the employees as if trying to determine who the spy was. Even though it was just a simple glance, Zhao Zhixiong was so frightened that a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He had a strange feeling that if he did not do anything, he would soon be identified as a spy. Hence, Zhao Zhixiong took the initiative and said, ¡°Recently, a person called Lin Fan has been coming to our company frequently¡­¡± After he said that, all the employees started whispering to each other. They could not help but start to suspect Lin Fan. After all, they were familiar with most of the people in the company. It was only Lin Fan whom they were relatively unfamiliar with. Furthermore, the employees knew that Lin Fan was very close to the president, Chu Yunyue. He had the ability to steal information. ¡°Who is this Lin Fan?¡± the investigator asked. Zhao Zhixiong spoke first, ¡°He¡¯s been appearing in our company for the past few days. He tries to get closer to our president every day¡­ Now that I think about it, Lin Fan is really suspicious!¡± When Chu Yunyue heard this, she immediately wanted to retort. Although they had not known each other for a long time, she still had great trust in Lin Fan¡¯s character. Also, Lin Fan did not need to do that. This was because a commercial spy would try to steal trade secrets in order to get paid. With Lin Fan¡¯s research on perfume, it was too easy for him to earn money. Furthermore, the reason why the Love Heart collection had come to what it was today was all thanks to Lin Fan. She had even given him 10% of the company¡¯s shares. From a certain perspective, Flower Stem belonged to Lin Fan as well. Stealing his own company¡¯s information and giving it to others? How was this possible? However, before Chu Yunyue could say anything, the clear sound of clapping came from outside the corridor. Then, a tall and handsome man slowly walked in. It was Lin Fan. ¡°Today, I¡¯ve personally experienced what it means for a thief to accuse another of being the thief. Zhao Zhixiong, am I right?¡± Lin Fan smiled. As soon as he said that, Zhao Zhixiong felt as if his tail had been stepped on. He shouted, ¡°Lin Fan, you still have the face to come and talk to me about this! ¡°For so many years, our Flower Stem has never had our information stolen! ¡°Why did such a thing happen just a few days after you started appearing? ¡°To think that our President Chu trusted you so much!¡± Zhao Zhixiong practically shouted out everything he wanted to say. This was the only way he could hide the fear in his heart. Lin Fan¡­ How did he know? Zhao Zhixiong tried hard to recall what had happened last night. He turned off the camera before making a move. He also wore gloves when he used the president¡¯s computer and destroyed it. After recollecting his memories, Zhao Zhixiong was certain that he did not leave any evidence behind. Only then did he slowly regain his calm and composure. Lin Fan seemed to have seen through his change and smiled, ¡°Zhao Zhixiong, do you think that you didn¡¯t leave any flaws behind when you were doing bad things?¡± ¡°Lin Fan, if you say such things again, I¡¯ll sue you for slander!¡± Zhao Zhixiong shouted. ¡°Zhao Zhixiong is an intermediate researcher at Flower Stem. His monthly salary is around 18,000,¡± Lin Fan continued. ¡°From a week ago to last night, why did you receive three additional transfers of 300,000? Don¡¯t rush to deny it. If I¡¯m not wrong, there should be notifications of the transfer on your phone.¡± When Lin Fan found out that perfumes similar to the Love Heart collection had appeared in Gentle Wind, he knew that there was a spy in Flower Stem. Therefore, he went to the internet caf¨¦ and used his professional hacking skills to find the latest information on the employees of Flower Stem. Zhao Zhixiong¡¯s expression changed as soon as he heard that, and beads of sweat began to form on his forehead. It was because Lin Fan was right! There was no mistake at all! He had indeed received three transfers of 300,000 yuan in the past few days, and he had received text messages notifying him of this on his mobile phone. However, how did Lin Fan know? Lin Fan continued, ¡°Are you going to say that you received the money from a friend or relative? I have to say, Gentle Wind was very smart to choose to transfer the money from a company called Candi. ¡°However, if the police were to investigate, it would be easy to find out that Candi is a company fully owned by Gentle Wind.¡± Lin Fan¡¯s words were calm. However, to Zhao Zhixiong¡¯s ears, it was as if he had been struck by lightning, causing his ears to buzz. His face was pale, his body was trembling, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his body. The investigators were all good at catching criminals. By now, they could tell that there was something wrong with Zhao Zhixiong. They immediately went forward and said, ¡°Zhao Zhixiong, please come back with us. There are some things we¡¯d like to ask you.¡± This sentence was like the last straw that Zhao Zhixiong was crushed by, causing him to collapse to the ground in fear. He knew¡­ he was finished. After Zhao Zhixiong was taken away, the atmosphere in Flower Stem was still a little depressing. Even though Zhao Zhixiong had been caught, the information on the Love Heart collection had been destroyed. At the same time, the fact that Gentle Wind had released the Seven Mile Fragrance collection was also a fact. It would take a long time to solve it through legal means. In fact, they might not even be able to get a satisfactory result in the end. Flower Stem was on its final leg. The situation¡­ was very dangerous. Lin Fan was also very clear about this. He thought about it and said, ¡°Yunyue, let¡¯s go to the R&D center first.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Chu Yunyue said in a tired tone. In the R&D center, Lin Fan quickly flipped through all the information and videos about Love Heart. [Ding! Do you want to use the skill doubling card on Perfume Expert? Your skill will be doubled for one hour.] ¡°Yes!¡± Instantly, the process of making Love Heart flashed through Lin Fan¡¯s mind like a scene from a movie. Then, he quickly lit the alcohol lamp, placed the beaker on the spot, and connected the U-shaped tube, the separating funnel, the pump generator, the distillation bottle, and so on. Then, at the right time and according to the amount consumed, he poured in the rose liquid, chrysanthemum liquid, and osmanthus liquid¡­ There were many kinds of flower liquids. Pre-processing, mixing, aging, freezing, filtering, and hardening¡­ Chu Yunyue, who was standing at the side, saw everything. At first, she let out a look of suspicion, not knowing what Lin Fan was up to. However, as time passed, Chu Yunyue was stunned. Lin Fan¡¯s movements were smooth and fluid. Occasionally, there would be the sound of glassware clattering. In Chu Yunyue¡¯s eyes, it was as if he was not making perfume but standing on the world stage and performing a shocking concert. [Skill: Perfume Expert, your charm is on full display!] Swish! At this moment, Lin Fan finally stopped. At the same time, seven perfumes, each with a different color, were presented. Lin Fan slowly opened the bottles. Whoosh! Immediately, refreshing, sweet, strong, fruity, mysterious, gentle, and elegant scents filled the entire R&D center. These bottles of perfume actually had the scent of the seven perfumes from the Love Heart collection. Furthermore, the layers were distinct and not messy at all! If the Love Heart collection could be said to make a person feel as though they were in a flower field, then these ones would make one feel as if they were a flower fairy. One would feel as if one were at the top of the clouds, beautiful and magnificent! When Chu Yunyue smelled the fragrance, she was completely dazed. Chapter 118 - 118 Hope; Can I Try? 118 Hope; Can I Try? Lin Fan looked at the dazed Chu Yunyue and could not help but smile, ¡°What do you think about replacing the previous Love Heart collection with this new rainbow perfume collection?¡± When Chu Yunyue heard this, she came back to her senses and said sincerely, ¡°Thank you, thank you, Lin Fan! They¡¯re definitely the best perfumes I¡¯ve ever smelled!¡± Chu Yunyue¡¯s dream was to create an international first-class perfume that belonged to Hua Nation. Now, she saw hope. ¡°What are you thanking me for?¡± Lin Fan laughed. ¡°Besides, aren¡¯t I a shareholder of Flower Stem?¡± ¡°The 10% shares from last time are too little. I¡¯ll transfer you another 20%!¡± Chu Yunyue said. Even though Flower Stem was founded by Chu Yunyue, Chu Yunyue had given away a large number of shares through financing and employee stock ownership. She only owned 60% of the shares. Now, she would be transferring a total of 30% of her shares. This meant Lin Fan and she would have equal shares. From this, it could be seen how much importance Chu Yunyue placed on Lin Fan and the rainbow perfumes. ¡°As you wish,¡± Lin Fan said indifferently. He really did not care much about the shares. The reason why he helped Chu Yunyue was that he felt that she was a good person. Then, under Lin Fan¡¯s guidance, Flowe Stem produced a new promotional video as well as a production and publicity plan. They distributed the plan to the factories, the internet, and television stations¡­ By the time everything was done, the sky had already turned completely dark. Chu Yunyue had been busy the entire day. However, she felt extremely satisfied and carefree. She understood that there was hope for Flower Stem, and it would even get better and better! All of this¡­ was because of Lin Fan. Chu Yunyue smiled. ¡®It¡¯s getting late. Lin Fan, let¡¯s go eat.¡± Lin Fan was also a little hungry. He nodded and said, ¡°Alright.¡± Today, they came to the same private kitchen as usual. This place¡­ It had almost become their canteen. When the boss saw them from afar, he greeted them, ¡°I just received some air-flown live fish and premium beef today. They¡¯re very fresh and tender. Do you want to try them?¡± ¡°Sorry to trouble you, Boss,¡± Chu Yunyue said. Just as the boss had said, the meat was really fresh and tender. Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue were very satisfied. As soon as they walked out of the private kitchen, they heard a melodious singing voice in the distance. Chu Yunyue could not help but turn around and look at the street. A man of medium build was playing the guitar and singing a song. It was peaceful and free. Chu Yunyue liked this kind of scene very much. Lin Fan also noticed the man who was playing the guitar and singing in the distance. His expression changed slightly. A long time ago, he had obtained Heavenly Voice and Professional Guitar-Playing Experience, but he had never tried it before. At the thought of this, Lin Fan strode toward the man. Chu Yunyue wanted to calm down and listen to the song, but she saw Lin Fan walk over. Hence, she followed closely behind. When they got closer, the man had just finished his song. The passersby gave a round of sparse applause. When he was about to sing another song, Lin Fan said, ¡°Can I try?¡± The man said without any hesitation, ¡°Of course. It¡¯s no problem at all.¡± Obviously, he was a person who was easy to get along with. After Lin Fan picked up the guitar, he first tried to feel the sound. Then, he slowly closed his eyes. The next moment, Lin Fan opened his eyes and started to play the guitar. At the same time, he opened his mouth and sang a deep, distant song. ¡°What made me cry wasn¡¯t just the wine last night. ¡°It¡¯s not just your gentleness that I¡¯m reluctant to part with. ¡°How much longer do we have to walk? Hold my hand.¡± ¡­ As soon as he started performing, the pedestrians who were about to leave immediately stopped in their tracks. The passersby on the streets seemed to be attracted by the scene and gathered together. The scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone was listening quietly. Chu Yunyue was completely stunned. After the song started, Chu Yunyue seemed to have arrived at an ancient street. Around her, people were playing mahjong, drinking tea, and chatting¡­ Everyone was calm and unhurried. They were extremely relaxed. At this moment, a light and elegant fragrance of wine wafted out from the small shop next to them. The owner was carrying freshly-cooked local snacks and chatting with the customers. Everything was so relaxed and beautiful. ¡°Walk with me on the streets of Chengdu, and don¡¯t stop until all the lights go out.¡± Finally, Lin Fan sang the last line of the song. His fingers that were playing the guitar slowly stopped. For ten seconds, the entire place was still very quiet. Everyone was immersed in the beautiful music, unable to extricate themselves. Ten seconds later, everyone applauded and cheered. ¡°It was really nice to listen to!¡± ¡°He sang so well!¡± ¡°Sing another song!¡± Lin Fan was only here to experience it. Why would he sing another song? He directly passed the guitar to the man and then walked to Chu Yunyue¡¯s side. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± he said. Chu Yunyue did not reply. She just silently followed behind Lin Fan. In Chu Yunyue¡¯s mind, she was recalling everything about Lin Fan. When they first met, Lin Fan easily solved the customer¡¯s complaints and suggested ways to improve the Love Heart collection. After that, Lin Fan personally improved the Love Heart collection step by step. Then, not only did Lin Fan find the company¡¯s spy, but he also created a super first-class perfume! Now, Lin Fan could even play the guitar and sing! These images continued to gather in Chu Yunyue¡¯s mind, causing her impression of Lin Fan to grow stronger and stronger. In her eyes, Lin Fan started to emit extremely dazzling light. At this moment¡­ A crisp notification sound rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s ears. [Ding! Charming Aura, triggered an unforgettable memory!] Lin Fan¡¯s footsteps slowed down. He thought of a possibility and slowly turned around to look at Chu Yunyue with the Eyes of Truth. [Face value: 98] [Favorability: 95] As expected, it was Chu Yunyue! At that moment, Chu Yunyue was still in a daze. She did not even notice that Lin Fan had stopped in his tracks and directly bumped into his arms. Their lips touched. At this moment, time seemed to stop for ten minutes. Then, Lin Fan followed Chu Yunyue back to her house. Her house was near the Feiyang building. The house was decorated in a warm, simple, and comfortable style. The moment Lin Fan walked in, he felt a sense of familiarity in his heart. Teacher Tiantian! Teacher Tiantian¡¯s house also seemed to have this style. While Lin Fan was still looking around, Chu Yunyue had already jumped into his arms. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ That night, Chu Yunyue¡¯s house seemed to have experienced an earthquake. The table, bed, and cabinet all started to shake violently. The two of them did not sleep the entire night! Chapter 119 - 119 Chu Yunyues Phone Call; Huang Lings Parents Discover the Secret 119 Chu Yunyue¡¯s Phone Call; Huang Ling¡¯s Parents Discover the Secret The next day¡­ Even though Chu Yunyue had not slept the entire night, she still went to Flower Stem early in the morning. After all, they had just distributed the information about Rainbow perfumers to the factory, the internet, and TV platforms yesterday. There would definitely be many things to deal with today. Lin Fan went straight to Jiangbei University. When he arrived at the parking lot, Lin Fan did not come out immediately. Instead, he focused his attention on the system. [Do you want to open the five silver packets?] These five silver packets were for helping his grandfather celebrate his birthday. Yesterday, Lin Fan did not have the time to open them. He had the time now. ¡°Yes!¡± Lin Fan said. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a 10x return card.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 200,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a skill doubling card.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 500,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 300,000 yuan.] Lin Fan nodded his head slightly in satisfaction. Lin Fan did not care too much about the money or the 10x interest return card. The skill doubling card, on the other hand, was extremely useful. That was because Lin Fan had already used it a few times before. Then, Lin Fan strolled into the classroom. This class was the old professor¡¯s class. Lin Fan did not listen for long before he fell asleep. ¡­. Chu Yunyue spent a long time and finally finished the matters at hand. She poured a cup of coffee and took a light sip. The coffee¡¯s aroma lingered in her mouth as her beautiful eyes gazed at the distant scenery. After a long time, Chu Yunyue took out her phone and opened her contact list. Finally, her eyes fell on ¡®Sweet Baby.¡¯ After a moment of hesitation, Chu Yunyue pressed the dial button. A moment later, the call was slowly connected. ¡°Tiantian,¡± Chu Yunyue said. ¡°Ever since you said that you have a man you like, I¡¯ve put all my energy into Flower Stem. ¡°I wanted to keep myself busy so that I could realize my dream as soon as possible¡­ ¡°But reality is cruel. ¡°Our Flower Stem¡¯s perfumes were questioned, and there was even a traitor in the company¡­¡± A clear voice came from the phone. ¡°Yunyue, are you alright now?¡± If Lin Fan had heard this voice, he would have exclaimed, ¡°Teacher Tiantian!¡± Chu Yunyue smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m fine. On the contrary, I¡¯m doing surprisingly well now!¡± ¡°Yunyue, where are you? I¡¯ll come over now,¡± Hu Tian said. Hu Tian thought that Chu Yunyue had suffered a huge blow, which was why her words were so abnormal. No wonder she would think this way. After all, Hu Tian had made it clear that she had a man she liked, causing Chu Yunyue to lose her love. Now, Chu Yunyue¡¯s company had such a big change. This could be said to be a huge setback in both love and career. Chu Yunyue could also hear Hu Tian¡¯s worry. She smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I haven¡¯t finished speaking yet.¡± ¡°Fortunately, a man appeared at this time. He helped to find the company¡¯s traitor and even helped to create perfumes that far exceed international standards! ¡°Perhaps it won¡¯t be long before you¡¯ll see Flower Stem become the first international top Hua Nation perfume brand!¡± When Chu Yunyue said this, her tone could not help but become a little higher. Obviously, she was really happy. After a pause, she continued, ¡°I was very surprised when you said you found a man you liked. It¡¯s because we¡¯ve always hated men. ¡°But now, I truly understand how you feel.¡± When Hu Tian heard this, she was sure that Chu Yunyue was not just shocked. She was really happy. Hu Tian could not help but feel happy for Chu Yunyue and said, ¡°It seems like you¡¯ve fallen in love with the man who helped you find the traitor in your company and created the perfume that¡¯s worthy of a top international brand?¡± ¡°Yes, I have,¡± Chu Yunyue said. ¡°Then I really have to congratulate you for finding your true love. By the way, have I seen him before?¡± Hu Tian asked. ¡°I don¡¯t think so¡­¡± Chu Yunyue said, ¡°But he¡¯s a student of Jiangbei University!¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Hu Tian was a little surprised. According to what she knew about Chu Yunyue, this person must have a deep understanding of perfume. Otherwise, it would be impossible to create perfumes that surpassed top international standards. By right, a perfume expert like this should be at least 30 years old. How old were the students of Jiangbei University? ¡°Yup! I was also surprised that he¡¯s still in school. Oh right, his name is Lin Fan,¡± Chu Yunyue said. ¡°Lin Fan?¡± Hu Tian shouted. ¡­ There were no classes in the afternoon. Hence, after Lin Fan had his lunch at the canteen, he headed straight for Yi Ke City. Creak! Creak! Lin Fan pushed open the door of 2501 and realized that the atmosphere inside was a little weird. He looked over¡­ Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian were sitting on the sofa in the living room with a middle-aged couple sitting next to them. Lin Fan could not help but ask, ¡°These two are¡­¡± Huang Ling quickly stood up and prepared to say something. The middle-aged man named Huang Yipeng, who was wearing a plaid shirt and had slightly white hair, shouted before anyone could, ¡°We¡¯re Huang Ling¡¯s parents!¡± ¡°You must be Lin Fan, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me¡­ Hello, Uncle and Aunt,¡± Lin Fan said. Huang Yipeng said, ¡°Huang Ling¡¯s already so old. We¡¯re not against her dating. But you guys shouldn¡¯t be sneaking around, right?¡± Lin Fan blinked his eyes and turned around to look at Huang Ling, asking her with her gaze what was going on. The middle-aged woman named Li Min, who was dressed in purple, said, ¡°Yup! If we didn¡¯t see your photo in her Moments, we would still be in the dark.¡± As she spoke, Li Min took out her phone and opened a photo. It was a photo of Lin Fan, Huang Ling, and Qiu Ziqian eating at Star in order to complete the feasting mission. At that time, Huang Ling felt that Star¡¯s environment and food were very good, so she took a few photos and posted them on her WeChat Moments. One of the photos was taken when she kissed Lin Fan. However, the spoon in the photo reflected the scene. Huang Ling looked at how her parents were questioning Lin Fan, and her entire face turned red like a ripe tomato. She wanted to find a hole and hide in it. If Lin Fan and she were really a couple, there would be no problem. However, the problem was that¡­ they were not a couple! After Lin Fan saw the photo, he immediately understood. ¡°Uncle, Aunt, it¡¯s my fault,¡± he said. ¡°I should have come home with Huang Ling earlier to visit you two.¡± Hearing this, Huang Ling was moved to tears. When Huang Yipeng and Li Min heard this, their expressions relaxed a little. ¡°This is more like it.¡± Chapter 120 - 120 Heading to Xiao Wu Wholesale City and Meeting an Acquaintance 120 Heading to Xiao Wu Wholesale City and Meeting an Acquaintance Lin Fan could understand why Huang Yipeng and Li Min were so excited. After all, children were the flesh and blood of their parents. Therefore, he was not unhappy at all. ¡°Lin Fan, what¡¯s your job now?¡± Huang Yipeng asked. ¡°I¡¯m studying at Jiangbei University,¡± Lin Fan replied. Huang Yipeng and Li Min frowned when they heard this. Originally, they had wanted to ask Lin Fan if he bought a house and how much he earned. However, when they heard that Lin Fan was still studying, they could only suppress those words in their hearts. After all, how could a person who had not entered society talk about owning a house and having a salary? At this moment, Huang Ling finally seized the opportunity to speak, ¡°Mom, Dad, what brings you to Jiangbei this time?¡± Huang Yipeng glanced at Lin Fan indifferently. He seemed to be saying, ¡®Let¡¯s see what kind of boyfriend you have!¡¯ ¡°The contract with our restaurant is about to expire,¡± he said. ¡°I¡¯ve come to Jiangbei to sign it again.¡± Then, Huang Yipeng looked at his phone and said, ¡°It¡¯s about time. Huang Ling, you and Lin Fan can come with us.¡± ¡°No problem,¡± Lin Fan said with a smile. ¡°Ziqian, do you want to go shopping with us?¡± Li Min asked. ¡°After that, we can all have dinner together.¡± ¡°Aunt, I¡¯m sorry. I still have something to deal with later, so I can¡¯t go out with you,¡± Qiu Ziqian said apologetically. ¡°Alright then¡­¡± Li Min did not insist. Then, the group strolled outside. Huang Ling was the last to leave, and she could not help but glance at Qiu Ziqian. Qiu Ziqian, on the other hand, smiled faintly as if to say good luck! Soon, they arrived at the underground parking lot. Originally, Lin Fan was prepared to drive his Benz G-Class. However, Huang Yipeng took out his car keys first and pressed them lightly. The Toyota Corolla not far away made a sound as the car¡¯s headlights lit up. ¡°Let¡¯s go, my car¡¯s here.¡± As he spoke, he strode forward. Lin Fan could only follow. Huang Yipeng had been driving for years, and the journey was smooth. When they were waiting at the traffic light, Huang Yipeng asked, ¡°Lin Fan, what do your parents do?¡± Even Huang Ling¡¯s ears perked up. She was also curious about this matter. ¡°They run a clothing store in Qing City,¡± Lin Fan said honestly. ¡°Your parents sell clothes?¡± Huang Yipeng thought for a while and said, ¡°I know some factories that sell wholesale clothing. We can give your parents some discounts in the future.¡± Huang Ling, on the other hand, directly thought that a clothing store meant a clothing company. She thought to herself, ¡®No wonder Lin Fan¡¯s clothes are so great.¡¯ ¡°Then I¡¯ll thank you on behalf of my parents,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Although you¡¯re still in school, you¡¯re already an adult¡­ Have you considered your future development? Are you going to stay in Jiangbei?¡± Huang Yipeng asked. ¡°For the time being, I might stay in Jiangbei,¡± Lin Fan said. He really did not think too far into the future. ¡°Then you¡¯ll have to be prepared to buy a house in advance,¡± said Li Min. ¡°The price of houses has been increasing. I don¡¯t know how much money you¡¯ll be able to earn by the time you graduate.¡± ¡°I already have a house,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Oh? Is that so? Then you have to take us to see it later!¡± Huang Yipeng was a little surprised, but he did not seem to mind. That was because Lin Fan had just said that his parents had a clothing store in Qing City. Huang Yipeng thought that Lin Fan¡¯s parents must have bought the house for him. Besides, how much money could a clothing store owner in Qing City have to buy a house? It must be a small house! They chatted in the car and soon arrived at a large, modern building. In front of the building, there were five big words ¡®Xiao Wu Wholesale City.¡¯ Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan let out a weird expression. Xiao Wu Wholesale City? Huang Ling¡¯s parents were going to sign the contract here? If he remembered correctly, a few days ago, when he opened the 1,050 red packets, he seemed to have obtained 51% of the shares of Xiao Wu Wholesale City. In other words, Huang Ling¡¯s parents were going to sign a contract with his company? Huang Yi Peng saw Lin Fan standing at the entrance in a daze and frowned. He thought to himself, ¡®This boyfriend of my daughter is indeed from a small place like Qing City. He really has not seen much of the world.¡¯ ¡°My stomach hurts a little,¡± Li Min said. ¡°Ling, can you come with me to the bathroom?¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Huang Ling responded. It had to be said that the flow of people in Xiao Wu Wholesale City was indeed very large. Even if they wanted to go to the washroom, they had to queue up. About ten minutes later, Li Min came out of the bathroom and said, ¡°Ling, why did you ask Lin Fan to be your boyfriend?¡± Huang Ling opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer. She could not possibly say that Lin Fan was not her boyfriend at all and they had a special relationship. If she said that, she would probably be beaten to death, right? Li Min continued, ¡°Lin Fan is indeed very young and handsome. ¡°But can he be young and handsome forever? ¡°You should think more about your future life!¡± Huang Ling opened her mouth again. She really wanted to say, ¡°Mom, Lin Fan can definitely give me the life I want the most!¡± At this moment, Huang Yipeng walked over and asked, ¡°Why are you so slow?¡± ¡°There were too many people,¡± Li Min said. Then, the four of them headed to the office area on the third floor. There were only two tables, a sofa, and a coffee table in Room 307. The layout was very simple. A round-faced man was working seriously on his computer. Huang Yipeng knocked on the door and said, ¡°Is Manager Xiong here?¡± ¡°That¡¯s me. Come in,¡± the round-faced man said. Thus, Huang Yipeng and the others slowly walked in. When Huang Yipeng and Li Min saw Manager Xiong¡¯s face, they were both stunned. How could it be him? Huang Yipeng lived in Room 305 in Xinhua District, Da City. Manager Xiong used to live in Room 304 in Xinhua District, and the two were neighbors who saw each other often. Manager Xiong liked to keep dogs, big dogs! In addition, he would take the big dogs out for a walk every day. However, Manager Xiong never leashed the dogs. Whenever Huang Yipeng¡¯s family went out, they would often be frightened by his big dogs. Therefore, he had asked Manager Xiong to put the dogs on leashes. However, Manager Xiong did not listen at all. Huang Yipeng had to ask the security guards to help mediate, but Manager Xiong still did not listen. In the end, Huang Yipeng called the police. It could be said that Manager Xiong hated Huang Yipeng¡¯s family for this incident. Later, Manager Xiong moved, and Huang Yipeng¡¯s family never saw him again. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here today!¡± ¡°You¡¯re Mr. Huang, right?¡± Manager Xiong sneered. Huang Yipeng finally reacted. ¡°It¡¯s¡­ Yes, I¡¯m here today to sign the distribution contract for next year, as I told you yesterday.¡± Even though the two of them had enmity, in order to survive, Huang Yipeng had to put it aside for the time being. ¡°Oh, I¡¯ve already prepared the new contract. Take a look first.¡± As Manager Xiong spoke, he casually threw the contract on the table. Chapter 121 - 121 Difficulty; Hello, Mr. Lin! 121 Difficulty; Hello, Mr. Lin! Although Manager Xiong¡¯s attitude was not very good, in order to survive, Huang Yipeng did not dare to show any anger. He picked up the contract and read it carefully. However, Huang Yipeng asked after a while, ¡°Manager Xiong, weren¡¯t we at level two last year? Why is this contract for a level three retail store? Did you take the wrong contract out?¡± Manager Xiong took a sip of tea and then cleared his throat. ¡°I didn¡¯t take the wrong one out! ¡°Mr. Huang, you¡¯ve been running the shop for a few years. Why don¡¯t you understand the rules? ¡°The level of the retail store is based on the sales volume. Your sales volume last year was too low, so you can only get the contract for a level three retail store this year.¡± His tone was relaxed, but Huang Yipeng was anxious. ¡°Manager Xiong, the prices of many items for level three distributors are 5% higher than those on level two. We can¡¯t afford them at all! ¡°It might seem like a mere 5%, but how much is the total profit of one product?¡± As Huang Yipeng had said, they could not afford it. Li Min could not help but shout, ¡°Manager Xiong, you can¡¯t deliberately make things difficult for us just because we had a conflict in the past!¡± ¡°You can¡¯t say that!¡± Manager Xiong¡¯s face sank as he shouted. ¡°You should know the sales figures of your store! Take a look at the rules of the distributors in Xiao Wu Wholesale City! ¡°I¡¯m doing everything according to the rules!¡± As he spoke, he threw a stack of documents on the table. Huang Yipeng understood that the situation was more important than the person. ¡°Manager Xiong, I¡¯m sorry. My wife didn¡¯t mean it that way,¡± he quickly apologized. ¡°However, with this 5% increase in price, our shop won¡¯t be able to make any profit at all¡­ ¡°Moreover, our store¡¯s sales volume is only a little bit away from the sales volume of a level two sales store¡­ Can you please be more tolerant?¡± Manager Xiong did not change his mind even after Huang Yipeng¡¯s apology. ¡°I¡¯ve already said that this is the rule of Xiao Wu Wholesale City! ¡°You were a little bit away from the sales volume, which means you didn¡¯t reach it! Therefore, we can only sign a level three dealer contract this year! ¡°If you want to improve your level, it¡¯s very simple! If you can increase your sales this year, you¡¯ll naturally be able to sign a higher grade contract next year.¡± That was what he said, but in reality? The prices were low last year, but that did not help to increase sales. If the prices were high this year, how could their sales increase? Huang Yipeng understood this very well. His face was full of bitterness as he said, ¡°Manager Xiong, can you think of another way?¡± ¡°What I just said is the only way!¡± Manager Xiong said. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can go to the other business managers in our Xiao Wu Wholesale City.¡± After that, Manager Xiong ignored Huang Yipeng and the others. He focused on the computer screen, looking very busy. Seeing this, Huang Yipeng was filled with helplessness. He could only continue to look through the contract. Should he go to the other managers of Xiao Wu Wholesale City? Would it really work? As Manager Xiong said, this was the rule of Xiao Wu Wholesale City. As a member of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, Manager Xiong definitely had his own network. Perhaps with just one word, he could make all the other managers ¡®follow the rules.¡¯ Lin Fan frowned and was about to say something. Ring, ring! At this moment, his phone rang. Lin Fan looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown number. ¡°Hello, are you Mr. Lin?¡± Just as Lin Fan pressed the answer button, a voice filled with a fawning tone rang out. Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s me. Who are you? ¡± ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. I¡¯m Zhang Zhou, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City.¡± The voice on the other end of the phone became more respectful. When Lin Fan heard this, his brows furrowed slightly as he gave a strange look. He had just arrived at Xiao Wu Wholesale City, and their chairman had already called? In fact, Zhang Zhou had long wanted to make this call. After all, Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder in his company. In fact, if Lin Fan was willing, he could even easily remove him from his position as the chairman. Therefore, Zhang Zhou wanted to wait for good news from the company before calling Lin Fan. He wanted to leave a good impression on Lin Fan. After a while, Lin Fan said, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you. What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Mr. Lin, here¡¯s the thing. We¡¯ve calculated the financial statement for the second quarter of Xiao Wu Wholesale City. The net profit in the second quarter increased by 120%! A total of 120 million in dividends was generated, and your 51% of the shares is 61 million. May I know which account it¡¯ll be transferred to?¡± Zhang Zhou said. Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up. Although he did not care much about money now, he was still a little happy to be able to earn an additional 61 million. Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯m at Xiao Wu Wholesale City, Room 307. Come over first.¡± Zhang Zhou was stunned for a moment, then he quickly said, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll come over now!¡± After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zhou became busy and anxious. ¡°Secretary, quickly inform all the executives to gather!¡± ¡­ At this moment, in Room 307. Huang Yipeng finally finished reading the contract, and his frown deepened. ¡°Manager Xiong, if we follow the price on the contract, I¡¯m afraid our shop won¡¯t be able to continue.¡± ¡°What do you mean by that, Mr. Huang?¡± asked Manager Xiong. ¡°Our Xiao Wu wholesale market has signed a lot of level three sales contracts. If you say that, how are the others continuing to run their stores? ¡°In fact, we¡¯re already offering the cost price to the level three distributors, and we¡¯re offering subsidies to the level two distributors. ¡°If you want to get the subsidies, of course, you have to have a good performance!¡± After a pause, Manager Xiong continued, ¡°If you really think the price is too high and you can¡¯t continue to run the store, we won¡¯t force you. After all, Xiao Wu Wholesale City has always allowed tenants to freely come and go.¡± After that, Manager Xiong picked up the cup again and drank the tea leisurely. Freely come and go? This sentence was simple, but was it really so? When Huang Yipeng first opened this shop, he spent a total of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan on the renovation, security deposit, stock, and so on. If he really gave up now, all the previous investments would be for naught. Huang Yipeng¡¯s expression was extremely ugly. He opened his mouth, trying to say something. At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the corridor. Then, a large group of men and women in formal suits walked in quickly. When Manager Xiong, who was drinking tea, saw them, he almost got scalded. He quickly stood up and said, ¡°Chairman Zhang, General Manager Chen, Director Wang, Director Li, Director Hu¡­ Why are you guys here?¡± However, it was as if these people did not hear Manager Xiong¡¯s words. The chairman, Zhang Zhou, went straight to Lin Fan and said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Following that, the large group of people behind him also followed suit and said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin!¡± Silence! Then, the entire Room 307 fell into a brief silence! Chapter 122 - 122 These Are My Future In-Laws; These Villas Are All Mine! 122 These Are My Future In-Laws; These Villas Are All Mine! Huang Yipeng and Li Min¡¯s mouths were half-open, and their faces were full of shock. They had clearly heard Manager Xiong address the group of people in front of him as ¡®Chairman, general manager, and directors.¡¯ It could be said that this group of people was definitely the higher-ups of Xiao Wu Wholesale City. They were big shots! However, this group of people actually all knew Lin Fan? Furthermore, they even used an extremely fawning tone to address Lin Fan¡­ as Mr. Lin? The sudden change stunned Huang Ling. However, her ability to accept things was clearly much better than her parents. After all, Huang Ling had long known that Lin Fan was no ordinary student. In the face of Zhang Zhou and the others¡¯ warm greetings, Lin Fan only casually replied, ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°You¡¯re Chairman Zhang, right?¡± Lin Fan said to the middle-aged man in gold-rimmed glasses who was standing in front. ¡°Mr. Lin, you can just call me Lil Zhang,¡± Zhang Zhou said in a flattering tone. Lil Zhang? Xiao Wu Wholesale City was a big enterprise with a market value of tens of billions! As the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, Zhang Zhou could definitely be called a local tyrant here. At this moment, he was actually calling himself Lil Zhang? Who was Mr. Lin? Manager Xiong could not help but shiver. Huang Yipeng and Li Min¡¯s mouths were wide open. Lin Fan said, ¡°Lil Zhang? I¡¯ll just call you Zhang Zhou.¡± ¡°Okay, okay. Mr. Lin, you can call me anything you want,¡± Zhang Zhou said. ¡°Mr. Lin, what brings you to Xiao Wu Wholesale City this time?¡± he asked nervously. After all, Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder in Xiao Wu Wholesale City. Now, he had suddenly come over quietly. If he was dissatisfied with anything, it would definitely be a disaster. Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal. My future in-laws are distributors in Xiao Wu Wholesale City. I¡¯m here to accompany them. ¡°My future in-laws have always signed a level two sales contract. However, I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because Manager Xiong had a conflict with them in the past, but he¡¯s insisting on signing a level three sales contract with them today.¡± As soon as he said that, Zhang Zhou¡¯s face darkened. Although Xiao Wu Wholesale City did determine the level of the distribution store for the next year based on the sales of the previous year, as long as the previous year¡¯s sales were not too bad, the level of the distribution store would rarely be lowered. After all, no one would be willing to suddenly raise the price. Once it reached the point of lowering the level of the shop, it meant that the business of the shop was extremely poor and was close to closing down. Since Lin Fan¡¯s future in-laws had come to sign the new contract, it was obvious that the business was not that bad. In other words, Manager Xiong was deliberately making things difficult for them! Making things difficult for Mr. Lin¡¯s future in-laws? How dare he? ¡°I¡¯ve been busy with the company¡¯s structure recently,¡± Zhang Zhou said solemnly. ¡°I¡¯ve neglected my employees¡¯ performance. ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯ll definitely deal with this matter seriously.¡± Manager Xiong, who was standing not far away, felt as if he had been thrown into an ice cellar. His whole body was cold. Manager Xiong had moved from Da City because he had a relative who was a higher-up in Xiao Wu Wholesale City and who could give him a bright future. However¡­ It all ended here! Zhang Zhou said to Huang Yipeng and Li Min in a flattering tone, ¡°You must be Mr. Lin¡¯s future in-laws? Hello, hello!¡± Huang Yipeng and Li Min shook hands, stunned. Zhang Zhou continued, ¡°You¡¯re willing to cooperate with Xiao Wu Wholesale City, which shows your trust in us. Later, I¡¯ll have someone sign a strategic cooperation agreement with you.¡± A strategic cooperation agreement? That meant they would become regional agents! This meant that Huang Yipeng and Li Min could get the cheapest price. They could even buy from all the shops in Da City! They could earn money just by sitting down! This sentence was like a bomb, directly blowing up Huang Yipeng and Li Min. Then, under the invitation of Zhang Zhou and the other higher-ups, Lin Fan, Huang Yipeng, Li Min, and Huang Ling went for a luxurious dinner. Seeing that the sky was gradually turning dark, Lin Fan and the rest were sent off respectfully by Zhang Zhou and the other higher-ups. They got into the Corolla and gradually left. Different from when they first arrived, the atmosphere in Corolla was a little dull. Lin Fan said, ¡°Uncle, turn left in front. Let¡¯s go take a look at my house first. We can also stay there for the night.¡± Not long after, the group of people arrived at the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex. When the security guards at the entrance saw that it was a Corolla, they initially did not intend to respond. However, when they saw Lin Fan¡¯s face, their faces bloomed like a flower. They smiled respectfully. ¡°Welcome home, Mr. Lin.¡± The security guards respected him from the bottom of their hearts. After all, he was the only owner of the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex. Lin Fan nodded his head as a form of greeting. When they walked in, they were greeted by a field of green trees and the fragrance of flowers. In the distance, there were many villas that looked like castles. The sight was beautiful and mesmerizing. Seeing this¡­ Huang Yipeng and Li Min both swallowed their saliva. Li Min could not help but ask, ¡°Lin¡­ Lin Fan, where¡¯s your house?¡± ¡°Every one here,¡± Lin Fan said. Li Min was stunned for a moment. She obviously did not understand. What did that mean? Hence, Lin Fan explained, ¡°There are a total of ten villas in the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex. And these ten villas are all mine. Uncle, Aunt, which one do you want to stay in today? Pick whichever you want.¡± Silence! The entire venue suddenly fell silent! All of them! All the villas here belonged to Lin Fan alone! When the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City and the others tried to please Lin Fan, Huang Yi Peng and Li Min knew that Lin Fan was definitely very rich. Even if he had a villa here, it was considered normal. However, they did not expect that this place¡­ A total of ten villas, all of which belonged to Lin Fan alone! This was completely beyond their imagination. In fact, Huang Yipeng and Li Min were not the only ones who were shocked. Huang Ling was also shocked. In the past, Lin Fan had told Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian that he had an extra villa and that they could stay there. However, Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian felt that a villa was too big and empty. Therefore, they still chose to live in Yi Ke City. However, Lin Fan did not say that he had ten villas! Huang Ling thought it was an apartment building. Lin Fan saw that the three of them were stunned and did not speak for a long time. He could not help but cough lightly and ask, ¡°Uncle, Aunt, which villa do you want to live in?¡± Huang Yipeng was still in a daze. He pointed at a villa near the lake. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll stay in that one.¡± Lin Fan nodded. As he spoke, he strode forward and entered the password. Creak! Creak! With a soft sound, the door slowly opened. Suddenly, the luxurious decorations in the villa appeared in front of Huang Yipeng, Li Min, and Huang Ling. Chapter 123 - 123 Skillful Scanning; Secret! 123 Skillful Scanning; Secret! The next day. A few birds were chirping outside the window, and a ray of warm sunlight gently shone on the window sill. Everything was so quiet and peaceful. Lin Fan, who was lying on the big bed, slowly opened his eyes. He looked at his phone out of habit. A text message was already on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 1,430,000 yuan was deposited into your account at 12 AM.] Lin Fan washed up and walked out of his room. At that moment, Huang Ling, Huang Yipeng, and Li Min were sitting in the living room and chatting in low voices. When Lin Fan appeared, the three of them stopped chatting and turned their gazes to him. Being stared at by the three of them, Lin Fan could not help but feel a little awkward. He coughed lightly and said, ¡°You guys must be hungry. Let¡¯s go have breakfast first.¡± Then, they left the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex and went to a nearby restaurant. The restaurant was elegantly decorated, and the breakfast was delicious with a wide variety. Of course, the price was a little more expensive. The breakfast for four people cost about 800 yuan in total. ¡°Uncle, Aunt, why don¡¯t you stay in Jiangbei for a few more days?¡± Lin Fan said as he wiped his mouth. Huang Yipeng waved his hand and said, ¡°Our shop hasn¡¯t been open for two days. We can¡¯t keep it closed anymore. Moreover, we just signed a strategic agreement with Xiao Wu Wholesale City, so we need to go back early to prepare.¡± Huang Yipeng could not hide the smile on his face. At the same time, the way he looked at Lin Fan became even fierier. Li Min, who was sitting next to him, could not help but ask, ¡°Lin Fan, how do you know the chairman and the general manager of Xiao Wu Wholesale City?¡± Huang Yipeng and Huang Ling both perked up their ears. Clearly, they were also very concerned about this issue. ¡°Oh, because I have 51% of the shares of Xiao Wu Wholesale City,¡± Lin Fan said casually. Huang Yipeng¡¯s spoon fell to the ground, and he was completely stunned. As the manager of the retail store, he knew very well how huge the financial resources of Xiao Wu Wholesale City were. Lin Fan¡­ He actually owned 51% of Xiao Wu Wholesale City¡¯s shares? If he had said that the first time he met Lin Fan, Huang Yipeng would have spat on his face. At this moment, he completely believed it! This was the only reason why the chairman and the general manager of Xiao Wu Wholesale City were so polite to him and even tried to please him! On the highway¡­ Nostalgic music was playing in the Toyota Corolla. Li Min¡¯s slightly aged face was blushing due to the direct sunlight. She seemed to have thought of some beautiful images, and a smile appeared on her face. ¡°My Lil Ling has good eyes! ¡°If only she could get pregnant earlier¡­ I have to let my daughter nourish her body!¡± As Li Min spoke, she took out her phone and quickly typed a message. Suddenly, Huang Yipeng¡¯s phone rang. He pressed the answer button in the car. ¡°Is this¡­ Is this Brother Huang?¡± A hoarse voice came from the car¡¯s stereo. ¡°It¡¯s me, and you are?¡± Huang Yipeng said. ¡°I¡¯m Xiong Jianping. Brother Huang, I was wrong in the past. Please don¡¯t hold it against me¡­¡± Manager Xiong said in a sobbing voice. ¡­ At that moment, Lin Fan arrived at Jiangbei University. Lin Fan had just sat down in his classroom when Song Jiaxin walked over. ¡°How did you calculate this?¡± she asked as she took out her notebook. Lin Fan looked at the densely packed formulas in the notebook. It was Zhou¡¯s Conjecture! With Song Jiaxin¡¯s family background, she did not need to study mathematics. Obviously, as she had said before, she was really interested in mathematics. Unfortunately, Song Jiaxin¡¯s interest did not make her the best in mathematics. This was because the equation in front of Lin Fan was only the most basic calculation of Zhou¡¯s conjecture. However, she could not understand it at all. Lin Fan picked up his pen and wrote down the most detailed steps in his blank notebook. Song Jiaxin looked at the floating calculations in the notebook and fell into a daze. No one knew what she was thinking. At this moment, the bell rang from outside. The old professor walked in slowly with a textbook in his hand. It had to be said that the old professor¡¯s teaching method was really hypnotizing. Even though Lin Fan had already slept through the night, Lin Fan¡¯s eyelids felt heavy and he fell asleep not long after the lesson started. In the afternoon, when he was eating in the canteen, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. 12:00 PM! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 19,999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received Skillful Scanning.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] Today, Lin Fan earned a total of 42,189 yuan. He naturally did not care about this little bit of money. Lin Fan immediately focused his attention on Skillful Scanning. [Skillful Scanning: photographic memory and a skill that can quickly absorb knowledge. Superb memory and reading ability. Not only can you quickly grasp knowledge, but you can also display a special charm!] When Lin Fan saw this, his eyes lit up immediately. In the past, he often fantasized about having a photographic memory. He did not expect that it would become a reality today! This was definitely a very good skill. After Lin Fan finished his lunch, he went back to his dormitory and impatiently picked up a textbook. He quickly flipped through it. With just a glance, the first page¡¯s dense content seemed to be engraved into his mind. It was extremely magical. Lin Fan could not help but be excited as he flipped to the second page, third page, fourth page¡­ In just two minutes, Lin Fan could actually recite the entire book backward! Lin Fan read three books in a row before his interest slowly faded. At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated slightly. It was a message from Teacher Tiantian. Hu Tian: [If you¡¯re free tonight, come over to my house.] Yesterday, Huang Ling¡¯s parents had come and Lin Fan had been holding it in for the entire night. At that moment, when he saw the message, Lin Fan¡¯s heart could not help but beat faster. He quickly replied to the message. Lin Fan replied: [Since you invited me, I¡¯ll definitely make time.] When the school bell rang in the afternoon, Lin Fan drove the Pagani Huayra toward Hu Tian¡¯s house. At this time, it was time to get off work, and the road was very congested. Even though Hu Tian¡¯s home was not far from Jiangbei, Lin Fan still spent close to an hour. Lin Fan knocked on the door slowly. Very quickly, the door opened with a creak. At the next moment, Lin Fan was a little stunned. That was because the person who opened the door was not Hu Tian but Chu Yunyue. Just when Lin Fan thought that he had come to the wrong place, Hu Tian appeared in front of him. At that moment, the two women¡¯s scent, their similar house decorations, and other things all came together in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. Chu Yunyue was actually the one Hu Tian was talking about. Her girlfriend? o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ Tonight would be another sleepless night! Chapter 124 - 124 Heading to the Physics Laboratory; Solving the Problems! 124 Heading to the Physics Laboratory; Solving the Problems! When Lin Fan opened his eyes, the sky was already bright. Chu Yunyue and Hu Tian had long prepared noodles, fried dumplings, and other delicacies. After a tiring night, the three of them were a little hungry. Not long after, all the food was finished. Chu Yunyue wiped the oil from the corner of her mouth. Her pretty face was full of satisfaction. Then, she looked at the time and said, ¡°I¡¯ll take my leave first. The demand for Flower Stem¡¯s Rainbow is relatively large. I need to supervise and coordinate with them.¡± As she said this, Chu Yunyue¡¯s pretty face revealed a smile that was difficult to hide. After Rainbow was officially launched, the perfumes immediately received a lot of good reviews. In just one day, they were sold out. This made Chu Yunyue feel that she was getting closer and closer to creating Hua Nation¡¯s first international top perfume brand. Then, Chu Yunyue¡¯s sparkling eyes fell on Lin Fan. All of this¡­ was Lin Fan¡¯s credit! After Chu Yunyue left, Hu Tian muttered to herself, ¡°A year ago, Chu Yunyue and I decided to spend the rest of our lives together. ¡°A week ago, we decided to split up and live our own lives. ¡°I can¡¯t believe that we¡¯re going to spend the rest of our lives together again after just a week.¡± After Hu Tian finished speaking, she looked at Lin Fan with a smile. She had never thought that such a young man would have such a huge impact on her life. Being stared at like that, Lin Fan felt a little embarrassed. He picked up the teacup and continuously moistened his throat. Hu Tian looked at Lin Fan¡¯s embarrassed expression and could not help but smile. The two chatted for a while more before they headed to Jiangbei University. As Hu Tian walked along the wide campus road, almost all the students who passed by greeted her. It could be seen just how popular Hu Tian was at Jiangbei University. At this time, a clear voice came from not far away. ¡°Tiantian, so you¡¯re here. I was just about to go look for you!¡± A short-haired woman of average build, about 30 years old, quickly walked over. ¡°Wenting, is there something you need from me?¡± Hu Tian asked. Wenting, whose full name was Zhong Wenting, was an associate professor in the physics department of Jiangbei University. Female professors were rare in fields such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Therefore, Hu Tian and Zhong Wenting¡¯s relationship had always been good. ¡°It¡¯s about the earthquake project in our laboratory. ¡°The calculations are too complicated. We can¡¯t do it at all. That¡¯s why we¡¯d like to ask a great mathematician like you to help us out,¡± Zhong Wenting said. Even though physics and mathematics were two different subjects, if it was just calculation, it would still lead to the same result. ¡°Calculations?¡± Hu Tian laughed. ¡°You¡¯ve got the wrong person.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Zhong Wenting was a little puzzled. In the past, when she asked Hu Tian for help, she would always agree immediately. Why did she reject her today? Hu Tian continued, ¡°Because the person next to me is a true great mathematician! He¡¯s more suitable for you.¡± Then, she pointed at Lin Fan and introduced him, ¡°He¡¯s Lin Fan. ¡°Lin¡­ Lin Fan?¡± Zhong Wenting was stunned for a moment. Then, she cried out in surprise, ¡°Lin Fan? The genius who solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and Twin Prime Number Conjecture?¡± Lin Fan did not accept the interviews despite the request of the leaders of Jiangbei University and Jiangbei City. However, his name had already spread throughout the entire Jiangbei University. Zhong Wenting said excitedly, ¡°Mr. Lin, can you help us solve the calculation problem?¡± Lin Fan could tell that Zhong Wenting and Hu Tian had a good relationship. He would only be helping out with some calculations, so there was naturally no problem. ¡°Alright,¡± he replied. When Zhong Wenting heard this, the smile on her face widened. Then, the three of them arrived at the building behind the basketball court of Jiangbei University. The school building looked a little old from the outside. Most people would not pay attention to it even if they passed by. However, for those who were familiar with Jiangbei University, they knew the truth. This was because this building contained a lot of expensive equipment, experimental materials, and data. It was definitely one of the most valuable and important places at Jiangbei University. In Physics Laboratory 104, there were complicated instruments and LED lights of various sizes. They were flashing with different lights. Wang Guohai, a professor from the physics department, would occasionally instruct two PhD students to adjust the experimental steps and methods. Wang Guohai stared at the screen and mumbled, ¡°I have to think of a way to quickly solve these difficult problems.¡± At this moment, a series of light footsteps came from the corridor. ¡°Professor Wang, look who I¡¯ve brought with me,¡± said Zhong Wenting happily. When Wang Guohai heard this, he slowly raised his head and said, ¡°So, it¡¯s Professor Hu. Welcome, welcome! I was just worried about the calculations. ¡°Now that you¡¯re here, I don¡¯t have to worry anymore.¡± Obviously, Zhong Wenting had already said that she would invite Hu Tian over. Therefore, Wang Guohai was not too surprised. Hu Tian smiled. ¡°Professor Wang, you might have misunderstood. I¡¯m not here to help with the calculations. It¡¯s Lin Fan.¡± ¡°Lin Fan?¡± Wang Guohai¡¯s face was filled with surprise. He then looked to the side and said solemnly, ¡°Student Lin, the process of solving Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture was very exciting.¡± Wang Guohai had been to the report that day. This was why he knew Lin Fan. It was just that he did not notice him just now. ¡°Thank you for your praise, Professor Wang,¡± Lin Fan said. The two PhD students who were doing experiments heard the conversation and looked over. They were also really curious about Lin Fan. Zhong Wenting said, ¡°That¡¯s enough. Stop chatting. Student Lin, you¡¯d better come and help us with these difficult problems.¡± As she spoke, she handed over a stack of documents. There were many equations written on it. 2{1/(5¦Ðe)+1}¡ª{4/£¨5¦Ðb+7£©-1}^3¡­ Hu Tian was about to say something. However, Lin Fan had already picked up his ballpoint pen and started writing. The entire laboratory was filled with a crisp knocking sound. [Ding! [ Absolute Focus, triggered a flash of inspiration!] One page, two pages, three pages¡­ Soon, the blank draft book was filled with floating figures. After that, he finished answering one question, two questions¡­ In about 50 minutes, all the questions had been answered. Silence! The entire laboratory was silent! Wang Guohai, Zhong Wenting, and the two PhD students were all around him. Their mouths were half-open, and their faces were full of shock. These problems were accumulated in the last half a year. They spent a long time and racked their brains but still could not solve them. In the end, in less than an hour¡­ The young man in front of them, Lin Fan¡­ He answered all of them without thinking? It was like eating and drinking to him! Was this the genius who solved two world-class math problems? This was too amazing! Chapter 125 - 125 Mission Triggered; Help Answer in Passing! 125 Mission Triggered; Help Answer in Passing! Hu Tian¡¯s eyes were filled with a strange light as she looked at Lin Fan¡¯s answers. She had seen Lin Fan answer many difficult questions. However, she was fascinated every time! She would not get tired of it! The elegant handwriting, the focused expression, and the determined face¡­ In Hu Tian¡¯s eyes, it was as if Lin Fan was the only person left in the entire world. He was so dazzling and captivating! ¡°Cough, cough!¡± Lin Fan was being stared at by everyone and felt a little awkward. He cleared his throat and said, ¡°Are there any other questions?¡± After he finished answering all the questions, Lin Fan came out of his state of Absolute Focus. In fact, if he had not triggered the flash of inspiration, Lin Fan would not have been able to solve so many physics questions in such a short time. After all, he only had Professor-Level Physics Experience and Professor-Level Mathematics Experience. Wang Guohai finally reacted and said, ¡°According to the data on this, do another earthquake simulation experiment and R-particle movement experiment.¡± The two PhD students quickly took the draft paper. According to the experimental requirements and steps, they carefully fiddled with the experimental equipment and pressed the buttons. Swish! After a short while, the large experimental instrument in front began to shake violently. Then, rows of LED lights flashed in different colors in a certain pattern. A moment later, the computer screen connected to the instrument showed dense black dots. Wang Guotao typed quickly on the keyboard and entered a series of equations. Suddenly, the black dots seemed to be attracted to the screen and formed a beautiful parabola. Seeing this¡­ Zhong Wenting shouted excitedly, ¡°This is great!¡± We¡¯ve found the trajectory of the R particle!¡± Wang Guotao was also full of smiles. At the same time, he looked at Lin Fan and sighed. While they were happy, Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up as well. In his mind, a clear and crisp prompt sounded. [Ding! You¡¯ve triggered a hidden mission. Read Geographical Science, Basics of Geology, Geology and Structure, Mechanics, Basic Research of the Earth¡¯s Crust, Wave Theory, Advanced Particle Research, Research and Analysis of Quantum Mechanics, and Law of Earth¡¯s Crust Movement. Reward: earthquake prediction device and its manufacturing principle.] Earthquake prediction device? Predicting earthquakes in advance? This was obviously a good thing! Lin Fan did not expect to trigger a mission when he came to the physics laboratory. ¡°Lin Fan, thank you!¡± Wang Guohai said solemnly. ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll take my leave,¡± Lin Fan said. He just wanted to finish this mission as soon as possible. Wang Guohai looked at Lin Fan and Hu Tian¡¯s back view as they left. He was in a daze and sighed. ¡°Lin Fan, what an amazing genius!¡± In fact, when Wang Guohai found out that Lin Fan was the one who came to help him solve the problems, he did not have much hope. Even though Lin Fan had solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, it only meant that he was a mathematical genius. The calculations from before involved a lot of advanced physics knowledge. He was a college student, so he might not even be able to recognize all the symbols. Even if it was Hu Tian, she would still need to read through a lot of information before she could have an answer. However, Lin Fan easily solved all of them in less than an hour! This was not something that could be simply described as a mathematical genius. ¡°Lin Fan is a genius!¡± Zhong Wenting said. Obviously, he did not think that much about it. ¡­ As they walked along the winding path, the chirping of birds could be heard from the treetops. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to have such a deep understanding of physics,¡± Hu Tian said. Right when Lin Fan received the questions, Hu Tian wanted to explain the meaning of the special symbols. However, before Hu Tian could even open her mouth, Lin Fan had already answered the questions. It was obvious that this surprised Hu Tian. ¡°Physics?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°In the future, you¡¯ll realize that there¡¯s nothing I don¡¯t understand.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Hu Tian said with a smile. At this moment, Hu Tian¡¯s phone vibrated. She looked at her phone and said, ¡°I have something to do. I need to go to the office first.¡± ¡°Alright, you should go,¡± Lin Fan replied. Then, he walked straight to the library. Jiangbei University was indeed one of the top universities in the country. In the tall library, people were moving about. On the rows of tables, many people were reading seriously and doing questions at their desks. It was a very studious atmosphere. He looked into the distance and saw a dense number of bookshelves. Each bookshelf was divided into different categories and filled with a large number of books. Lin Fan quickly walked through the bookshelves of humanities, history, chemistry, and novels¡­ Finally, he came to the physics bookshelf. ¡°Wave Theory, Advanced Particle Research, Quantum Mechanics Research and Analysis, Wavelength theory¡­¡± Then, Lin Fan came to the geography bookshelf. ¡°Geographical Science, Basics of Geology¡­¡± After nearly 20 minutes, Lin Fan finally found a place to sit down with a pile of books in his arms. If an ordinary person wanted to finish reading all ten books, it would take at least one or two months. One had to know that these were all heavyweight books with hundreds of pages. However, Lin Fan had just received Skillful Scanning, so things were much simpler. Everyone heard the sound of someone flipping through a book at high speed from where Lin Fan was sitting. Wave Theory, Advanced Particle Research, Geographical Science¡­ One, two, three¡­ In just 20 minutes, he had finished reading all ten thick books and memorized all the content. It took 20 minutes to find the books and another 20 minutes to finish reading all the books! Furthermore, he had even mastered all the knowledge in the books! If this was known by others, who knew what they would think? At the same time, a crisp voice rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve read Geographical Science, Basics of Geology, Geology and Structure, Mechanics, Basic Research of the Earth¡¯s Crust, Wave Theory, Advanced Particle Research, Research and Analysis of Quantum Mechanics, and Law of Earth¡¯s Crust Movement. You¡¯ve obtained the earthquake prediction device and its manufacturing principle.] Lin Fan turned his neck and happened to see a girl with black-rimmed glasses next to him. She was frowning at a math question on the table. Her hand that was holding a pen did not move for a long time. It was obvious that she was stumped. Lin Fan had just completed his mission and was in a good mood. He did not mind helping out. Thus, he picked up the pen and paper next to the girl and quickly wrote. After a while, a set of standard answers appeared on the paper and was pushed in front of the girl. Then, Lin Fan picked up a huge pile of books and strolled toward the bookshelves. Chapter 126 - 126 Earthquake Prediction Device; Meeting a Good Friend! 126 Earthquake Prediction Device; Meeting a Good Friend! After Lin Fan left the library, he returned to his dormitory. At this moment, the dormitory was empty and very quiet. [Do you wish to claim the earthquake prediction device and its manufacturing principles?] ¡°Yes!¡± Lin Fan said. Whoosh! In the next moment, a completely black rectangular machine about one cubic meter in size appeared in front of him. This was an earthquake forecaster! There was a huge stack of information on top of the earthquake forecaster. At the top of the information, there were nine big words¡ª¡¯The Principle Behind the Construction of the Earthquake Prediction Device.¡¯ Lin Fan first sized up the black machine and muttered, ¡°This is the earthquake prediction device, right? It looks like a box.¡± Then, he picked up the documents and quickly flipped through them. About three minutes later, he had memorized all the information about the building principles of the earthquake prediction device in his mind. ¡°I can predict earthquakes five days before they happen? That¡¯s not bad.¡± Predict earthquakes five days before they happened? Not bad? If an earthquake expert heard this, they would probably scream. One had to know that with today¡¯s science and technology, it was still impossible to predict an earthquake five minutes before it happened, let alone five days! Lin Fan yawned, then lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. He did not sleep last night. Even though he had Violent Aesthetics and his body had been strengthened, he was still a little sleepy. ¡­ In the physics laboratory. Swish! Muffled sounds rose and fell. It only stopped after a long time. Wang Guohai looked at the data on the computer screen and could not help but smile. ¡°Let¡¯s sort out this data, and we should be able to publish several SCI papers!¡± Zhong Wenting said excitedly. ¡°Yes.¡± Wang Guohai nodded. ¡°Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and get to work!¡± Zhong Wenting said. ¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s sleep was very comfortable. When a beam of hot sunlight fell on his face, he slowly opened his eyes. Lin Fan lay on the bed and rested for a while. Ding! Ding! At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated. 12:00 PM! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 50,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one yuan.] Today, Lin Fan had earned a total of 72,121 yuan. Lin Fan did not care about the amount of money. He put his phone back into his pocket. Then, he slowly walked out. Not long after Lin Fan left, Zheng Jinbao, Ma Zhong, and Song Yi walked in. ¡°What is this?¡± Ma Zhong pointed at the earthquake prediction device and said. ¡°If only it was a little higher, it would be perfect as a table,¡± Song Yi said. Zheng Jinbao also took a few curious glances, but he quickly focused his attention on his computer. ¡­ Before 12 o¡¯clock, the school cafeteria was filled with long queues. Lin Fan did not want to squeeze in with the others, so he drove his Lamborghini to the nearby restaurant. Crystal shrimp dumplings, simple stir-fried vegetables, squab soup, stir-fried yellow beef¡­ A simple and affordable lunch of 600 yuan made Lin Fan very satisfied. After the meal, Lin Fan walked out of the restaurant and prepared to return to school. At this moment, a familiar figure appeared not far away. ¡°Zhang Song!¡± Lin Fan shouted. Zhang Song was Lin Fan¡¯s good friend in high school. The reason why Lin Fan attended the high school reunion was that Zhang Song was one of the people he wanted to meet. Although the man not far away was taller, darker, and thinner than the Zhang Song he knew in high school¡­ Lin Fan was sure that it was his good friend, Zhang Song. The man not far away had obviously heard someone calling him and could not help but turn around. He said in an uncertain tone, ¡°Are you¡­ Lin Fan?¡± Lin Fan saw that he recognized him and said happily, ¡°Hahaha! It¡¯s me. I didn¡¯t expect that we would meet here.¡± Zhang Song was also very happy to see his high school friend. He said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this either!¡± ¡°When did you arrive in Jiangbei?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°I¡¯ve always been in Jiangbei,¡± Zhang Song said. ¡°What? Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier? I¡¯ve been in Jiangbei all this time! By the way, our class had a party in Jiangbei not long ago!¡± Lin Fan said. Zhang Song said, ¡°Oh¡­ Is that so?¡± In fact, he knew about the gathering. However, he had not been happy all these years, so he did not attend. Lin Fan said, ¡°I went to the last gathering because I wanted to see a few friends, but all of you didn¡¯t go. If I had known, I wouldn¡¯t have gone.¡± At this time, Zhang Song¡¯s mobile phone rang urgently. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Huiling?¡± Zhang Song answered the phone. Huiling, whose full name was Zhang Huiling, was Zhang Song¡¯s sister. ¡°Mom fell to the ground, and her head is bleeding¡­¡± A flustered voice came from the phone. ¡°What? I¡¯ll be right back!¡± Zhang Song said anxiously. Lin Fan, who was standing at the side, heard the contents of the phone call clearly. He hurriedly said, ¡°My car¡¯s just next door. I¡¯ll send you back.¡± ¡°Thanks,¡± Zhang Song said. Then, Lin Fan opened the door of the Lamborghini and quickly got in. Zhang Song was slightly stunned. He did not expect Lin Fan to drive a supercar. ¡°Hurry up and get on,¡± Lin Fan said. Only then did Zhang Song react and quickly get in. If it was not for the phone call just now, Zhang Song would definitely have asked about the supercar out of curiosity. However, at this moment, other than feeling a little surprised, he was more worried. After Lin Fan asked Zhang Song for the exact location, he stepped on the gas. Suddenly, the entire Lamborghini dashed out like a lightning bolt, speeding through the middle of the road. Soon, Lin Fan arrived at the factory in Jiangbei City. The factory was an old factory with decades of history. Therefore, it looked a little old on the whole. Zhang Song¡¯s home was in the factory¡¯s staff compound. Bang! Zhang Song quickly rushed into the house and asked anxiously, ¡°How¡¯s Mom?¡± The woman, whose head was wrapped in gauze, said in a hoarse voice with a trace of blood oozing out, ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just a small scratch.¡± Then, she said in a slightly reproachful tone, ¡°Huiling, why are you so agitated?¡± Zhang Huiling¡¯s eyes were a little red. Clearly, she was really frightened. At this moment, the woman finally saw Lin Fan behind Zhang Song and said, ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°I was Zhang Song¡¯s high school classmate. We were very good friends!¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°So you¡¯re Lil Song¡¯s friend. Please take a seat. The house is a little messy. Please don¡¯t mind it. I¡¯ll go get you some tea.¡± After the woman finished speaking, she limped toward the coffee table. ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll get some water,¡± said Zhang Huiling. Obviously, this family was very hospitable. Chapter 127 - 127 Bitterly Disappointed; Wait a Moment! 127 Bitterly Disappointed; Wait a Moment! The furniture in Zhang Song¡¯s house was relatively old, but it was very neat and tidy. A big clock that was swinging, a steel cup with a red scarf painted on it¡­ Everything seemed very warm and full of life. Lin Fan sipped his tea, feeling extremely relaxed and at ease. Rustle! At this moment, the sound of cooking came from the kitchen. Then, a burst of fragrance drifted over. Lin Fan did not want to eat. After all, he had just eaten. However, Zhang Song¡¯s mother, Chen Li, insisted on cooking. She also said that even if he did not want to eat, he could still sit for a while. Lin Fan could not be stubborn, so he could only stay. Not long after, Chen Li and Zhang Huiling carried plates of food and placed them on the table in the living room. Shredded pork with green pepper, seaweed egg soup, cucumber ham, tomato egg¡­ ¡°Lin Fan, come and sit down,¡± Chen Li said as she limped to the table. ¡°Sure!¡± Lin Fan replied. Even though he had already had lunch. However, he could not help but start eating when he smelled the fragrance on the table. Lin Fan could not stop eating until his stomach was round and he could not eat anymore¡­ Only then did he put down his bowl and chopsticks. ¡°Aunt, your cooking is really delicious!¡± Lin Fan said sincerely. ¡°Then you¡¯ll have to come here often to eat in the future!¡± Chen Li said happily. ¡°Then I¡¯ll thank you in advance, Aunt,¡± Lin Fan said. After eating and drinking to their hearts¡¯ content, they chatted for a while. The atmosphere was very warm and harmonious, just like a family. ¡°Aunt, your leg seems to be a big bother,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°I broke my bone a few years ago, and I¡¯ve been unable to exert full strength ever since¡­¡± Chen Li sighed. ¡°If isn¡¯t because of that, Lil Song and Huiling wouldn¡¯t be so tired even without their father.¡± At this point, the atmosphere in the house became a little heavy. All the hardships they had gone through all these years came to mind. Lin Fan said, ¡°So, it¡¯s your leg¡­ I have a bottle of medicine here. I heard it¡¯s very effective. Drink it and try it.¡± Then, Lin Fan spent ten million yuan on a bottle of Medical Water. Lin Fan was not lacking in money. Zhang Song was his good friend. When he was in school, he helped him a lot. This meal was also very enjoyable. That was why Lin Fan was willing to help. Chen Li saw that it was a small bottle of medicine. Although she did not think that it would have any effect, her leg had been injured for a few years, after all. Chen Li was still very happy. After all, this was a kind gesture from her son¡¯s friend. ¡°Lin Fan, thank you.¡± ¡°Is this for external application or internal consumption?¡± she asked. ¡°Aunt, you can just drink it,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright,¡± she said. Chen Li nodded and drank it without any hesitation. Then, they started to chat again. At this moment, footsteps could be heard from outside. Then, several security guards came in. A middle-aged man with an inch-long beard, Zou Kaiwei, stood at the very front. He chuckled and said, ¡°Oh, the whole family is here.¡± The moment he opened his mouth, the atmosphere immediately turned cold. Chen Li¡¯s expression was a little unsightly. ¡°Supervisor Zou, we have a guest at our house today. If there¡¯s anything you need, please come again next time.¡± However, not only did Zou Kaiwei not leave, but his eyes flickered as he said, ¡°If it was regarding a private matter, I¡¯d definitely leave. ¡°However, I¡¯m here to read out the factory¡¯s notice and execute the factory¡¯s orders. I have to do it regardless of whether there are guests here or not. After all, this is my job.¡± After a pause, Zou Kaiwei took out a document and read it out in a serious tone. ¡°As the factory is continuing to develop and the number of employees is continuing to increase, there¡¯s a shortage of staff accommodation¡­ ¡°According to the decision of the factory leaders, Zhang Yongliang¡¯s dormitory is to be taken back. All staff living in the dormitory should move out immediately.¡± After he finished reading¡­ Zou Kaiwei continued, ¡°Chen Li, you said last time that since there¡¯s no notice from the factory, you won¡¯t be moving. Now that I do have a notice, you should move, right?¡± ¡°This is the house that the factory gave to our family!¡± Chen Li said angrily. ¡°Our Old Zhang died because of work! ¡°The tea is cold when the person is gone, but it shouldn¡¯t be like this! Supervisor Zou, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s too disappointing and unreasonable?¡± The man died for his job, and now, they were going to take away his house! Their hearts were extremely cold! The more Chen Li thought about it, the angrier she got. The more she thought about it, the more her heart ached. Her turbid tears began to well up. However, Zou Kaiwei was completely unmoved. He said, ¡°You can¡¯t talk about reason like this. When Zhang Yongliang died, did you guys receive any compensation? ¡°Logically speaking, you should¡¯ve moved out at that time. However, it¡¯s precisely because I pitied you that I¡¯ve been allowing you to live here until now. ¡°Now, there¡¯s not enough housing in the factory. I have no choice but to let you move out. I¡¯ve already done my best.¡± Chen Li was even more enraged now. She opened her mouth to speak but ended up coughing violently instead. Zhang Huiling quickly supported Chen Li and said, ¡°Mom, are you okay?¡± Zhang Song shouted, ¡°What do you mean we should move out? Our family has signed a housing contract with the factory before!¡± As he spoke, he took out a yellowed document. Zou Kaiwei¡¯s expression changed slightly when he saw that. He knew of such a contract, but Chen Li had not brought it out the past few times he had been here. Therefore, Zou Kaiwei thought that she lost it. However, when he saw the contents of the contract, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Yes, this is the factory¡¯s contract, but look, this is only a 20-year lease contract! It¡¯s already been 20 years, and the contract is no longer valid,¡± Zou Kaiwei said. When the factory built the staff dormitories, they did not have the relevant documents. Therefore, they could only sign a zero-yuan lease contract with each household. However, according to the country¡¯s regulations, the longest lease time was 20 years, which was the basis of the contract as well. At this moment, Chen Li had already recovered and shouted, ¡°When we signed the contract, the leader clearly said that the contract would be automatically extended when the time was up!¡± ¡°Chen Li, you¡¯re wrong about that,¡± Zou Kaiwei said earnestly. ¡°We¡¯re in a society ruled by law now, so we need evidence for everything! ¡°If the contract states that it¡¯s an automatic extension, then I¡¯ll turn around and leave without a second word. The problem is that there¡¯s no such thing on here¡­ ¡°I¡¯ve already explained my reasoning. Chen Li, the factory leaders want you to move out today. Don¡¯t make things difficult for me.¡± ¡°This is my house! I won¡¯t move!¡± Chen Li said firmly. ¡°If you put it that way, then we might have to take some necessary measures,¡± Zou Kaiwei said in a deep voice. After saying that, the security guards beside him strode forward as if they had turned into a group of demons. ¡°Wait a moment!¡± At this moment, a loud and clear voice rang out from outside. Chapter 128 - 128 A Good Show; Cruel and Unscrupulous! 128 A Good Show; Cruel and Unscrupulous! The security guards stopped in their tracks when they heard the voice. Then, a man with a greasy face named Li Changdong walked in quickly. ¡°Aunty Chen, Song, Huiling, you¡¯re both at home?¡± Li Changdong greeted Chen Li and the others, and his gaze swept across everyone in the room. As for Zhang Huiling, he could not help but pause on her for a few more seconds. After a long while, he continued, ¡°Uncle Zou, I just heard about the factory¡¯s decision. Is there no room for discussion at all?¡± ¡°Changdong, it¡¯s not that I¡¯m hard-hearted,¡± said Zou Kaiwei. ¡°It¡¯s the factory¡¯s rule, I can¡¯t do anything about it. ¡°There are still many employees in our factory who don¡¯t have a house. We can¡¯t keep them waiting.¡± His face was filled with helplessness. ¡°Are there many employees waiting to be assigned rooms?¡± Li Changdong pondered for a moment and said, ¡°I have an idea.¡± Then, Li Changdong looked at Zhang Huiling and said, ¡°Huiling is going to graduate from college next year. If she comes to work at our factory, won¡¯t she also be an employee? ¡°When the time comes, won¡¯t we still have to give her family a house?¡± ¡°So, there¡¯s no need for Huiling and the others to move out now.¡± Zou Kaiwei was a little hesitant. ¡°Yes, Huiling is going to graduate from university¡­ However, I¡¯m afraid that it¡¯ll be a little difficult for her to become a formal employee of our factory.¡± In the past, it was very easy to become a formal employee of the factory. With a little training, one could sign a contract. However, with the development of the times, the urban population had increased. It had become troublesome to sign a formal contract. At first, the requirements were to have a high school degree, then it gradually became a junior college diploma, before eventually becoming a university degree¡­ In fact, even university students had to intern, train, take examinations, and compete with each other before they had a chance to become formal employees. Li Changdong¡¯s face relaxed. ¡°That¡¯s fine. My dad is the general manager now. In two years, he might be the factory manager. He¡¯ll have some slots to sign contracts with formal employees. ¡°If General Manager Li agrees, then I¡¯ll have no problem with it.¡± Zou Kaiwei nodded. Li Changdong turned to Zhang Huiling, ¡°Huiling, after you graduate next year, come to our factory. What do you think?¡± Zhang Huiling opened her mouth, unable to make a decision. She could be said to have grown up in the factory. However, it was precisely because of this that she did not want to work in the factory. Zhang Huiling did not want to be trapped in a factory for the rest of her life. Moreover, Li Changdong had been pursuing her. If she agreed to his request, what would she do in the future? The problem was that she did not like him at all! However, if she did not agree ¡­ Then the house would probably be taken from them, and the whole family would be driven out¡­ Her mother was still injured and would not be able to survive¡­ Zhang Huiling was obviously not a fool to be able to get into a university. She bit her red lip and finally opened her mouth to make a decision. At this moment, there was a clear round of applause. ¡°What a good show,¡± Lin Fan said. The moment he said that, everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Lin Fan. ¡°Changdong, right? There¡¯s nothing wrong with liking a girl, but it¡¯s not honorable to use such despicable means to get her, right?¡± Lin Fan said calmly. One must know that Lin Fan not only had Professor-Level Mathematics Experience. He could even solve world-class problems like Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture. His logical thinking and observation skills were definitely better than many people¡¯s. Lin Fan could easily see through everything in front of him. This was all a show put up by Li Changdong and Zou Kaiwei. The purpose¡­ It was just so that Li Changdong could get Zhang Huiling. Zhang Huiling¡¯s facial features were not bad, and her figure was very well-proportioned. In addition, she had a temperament unique to college students. It was no wonder that he was so deliberate. Li Changdong obviously realized that he had been seen through. His expression changed as he shouted, ¡°Brat, what nonsense are you talking about?¡± ¡°You should know very well what I¡¯m talking about,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°My *ss!¡± Li Changdong shouted. ¡°Who are you? My dad is the factory¡¯s general manager, Li Dajiang!¡± From Li Changdong¡¯s point of view, since Lin Fan had appeared here, he should be a family member of a factory employee. As long as he said his father¡¯s name, the other party would definitely have scruples. However, he was overthinking. ¡°So what if your dad is Li Dajiang?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Even your dad is just a fart.¡± ¡°Brat, you dare to scold my dad?!¡± Li Changdong said angrily. After Lin Fan¡¯s reminder, Zhang Song and Chen Li also reacted. They first looked at Zhang Huiling¡¯s red eyes and then shouted, ¡°Even if it means we have to give up the house, we¡¯ll never sell our daughter!¡± ¡°Li Changdong, get out!¡± Zhang Song shouted. Li Changdong did not admit it at all. Instead, he became angry from embarrassment and said, ¡°I came here to help out of good intentions, and you¡¯re actually yelling at me just because this kid made up some nonsense? You even want me to leave? ¡°Truly cruel and unscrupulous! ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, your family can do whatever they want! ¡°When the time comes, don¡¯t beg me!¡± ¡°Uncle Zou, just deal with this according to the factory¡¯s rules!¡± After saying that, Li Changdong was ready to leave. ¡°Brother Lin Fan?¡± Outside, there was a sudden burst of surprised shouts. Following that, Sun Luguo and a middle-aged man in a white shirt strode in. After Sun Luguo saw Lin Fan, he called out happily, ¡°I saw your car outside. It really is you, Brother Lin Fan!¡± The first time he had seen Lin Fan was when he was racing with Liu Yuhang. At that time, Lin Fan had displayed his superb driving skills and defeated everyone in one fell swoop. However, he rejected the supercar that was worth 28 million yuan. At that time, Sun Luguo remembered Lin Fan and placed him in the same circle as him. After that, he even helped him find the hundred-year-old Ganoderma. The second time he saw Lin Fan was at Song Jiaxin¡¯s birthday party. Lin Fan displayed his extraordinary chess skills, forcing Liu Yuhang and the Song family¡¯s old man to surrender. This caused Sun Luguo to place Lin Fan on the same level as him. The third time he saw Lin Fan was at the temple. Lin Fan had even saved the life of Qin Weiming¡¯s grandson! This immediately caused Sun Luguo to feel envious of Lin Fan and have the desire to please him. Today, they had met by chance, so Sun Luguo naturally had to come and greet him. ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s you, Sun Luguo.¡± Lin Fan was a little surprised. In contrast to Lin Fan¡¯s surprise, Li Changdong, Zou Kaiwei, and the others¡¯ expressions turned serious. They hurriedly said, ¡°Good day, Director!¡± The middle-aged man who followed Sun Luguo in was called Peng Bing, and he was the current director of the factory. Peng Bing nodded to them as a form of greeting. Sun Luguo asked, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, why did you come to the factory? Is there something wrong?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°It isn¡¯t a big deal. It¡¯s just that this Changdong wants to pursue my good friend¡¯s sister and worked with Supervisor Zou to chase my good friend¡¯s family out.¡± ¡°What?¡± Sun Luguo¡¯s face darkened, and his cold eyes seemed to have turned into sharp arrows that swept over Li Changdong, Zou Kaiwei, and the others. Chapter 129 - 129 The Factory Director Makes His Move; Li Dajiang Is in Despair 129 The Factory Director Makes His Move; Li Dajiang Is in Despair In movies and novels, people with money and power often acted tyrannically and did all kinds of evil. However, real young masters were very shameless about such things. Sun Luguo was one of them. Furthermore, the target of this threat was Lin Fan¡¯s good friend¡¯s family. This made Sun Luguo even angrier. ¡°In the past, I¡¯ve never heard of such a thing happening in the factory,¡± Sun Luguo said coldly. ¡°Director Peng, if you can¡¯t manage the factory well, I think it¡¯s better to replace you with someone more capable.¡± As soon as he said this, a layer of cold sweat appeared on Peng Bing¡¯s forehead. Who was Sun Luguo? He was the young master of the Sun family¡¯s pharmaceutical company! His status as a factory director was a high and mighty existence in the eyes of many. However, it meant nothing in front of Sun Luguo! It was no exaggeration to say that as long as Sun Luguo wanted to, he might have to pack up and leave tomorrow. Peng Bing panicked and said, ¡°This¡­ During this time, I¡¯ve been busy with the development of the factory, so I¡¯ve relaxed the management of my employees¡­ ¡°I didn¡¯t do my job well in this matter. I¡¯ll definitely give Young Master Sun¡­ and Brother Lin Fan a satisfactory answer.¡± Then, Peng Bing said sternly, ¡°Supervisor Zou! What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Uh¡­ Uh¡­¡± Supervisor Zou stammered, but he could not give a proper explanation. ¡°Zhang Song.¡± Lin Fan turned his head. ¡°Since Supervisor Zou can¡¯t speak clearly, why don¡¯t you help him out?¡± Zhang Song took a deep breath and explained the entire matter. After Peng Bing heard this, he was so angry that he trembled and shouted, ¡°Threats? You wanted to kick them out? Good, very good! Is this how you treat a hero who sacrificed his life for the construction of the factory? You bastard!¡± Then, he took out his phone and dialed a string of numbers. ¡°Li Dajiang, I¡¯m in the staff dormitory. Come over now!¡± Then, Peng Bing made two more calls. ¡°Bring me the document with Li¡¯s name on it at the bottom of my desk. ¡°Captain Huang, please come to the factory staff dormitory.¡± After a while, a man with a big belly jogged in. He was Li Dajiang. When Li Dajiang saw the situation in front of him, he had a guess in his heart. Zhang Song and the others had found the factory director and wanted him to help uphold justice. However, Li Dajiang was not too afraid. It was because he had already prepared an excuse. He believed that Peng Bing would give him face. ¡°Factory Director Peng, I¡¯ve spent a lot of time these days cleaning up the staff dormitory registration forms. I found a total of three idle units and one occupied unit¡­ ¡°These are the only assets we have in our factory. They should be used in the most reasonable way¡­ ¡°I know that this might cause some dissatisfaction, but it¡¯s necessary.¡± Li Dajiang opened his mouth and placed himself in a position of duty. He believed that Peng Bing would definitely turn to his side. However, this was only his wishful thinking. Peng Bing said sternly, ¡°Is this the reason you wanted to force and drive away the family members of the employee who sacrificed his life for the factory?¡± Li Dajiang did not expect Peng Bing to be so harsh, and his heart jumped slightly. ¡°You¡¯re making use of your high position! This will damage the reputation of the factory! Li Dajiang, from now on, you¡¯re no longer the general manager of the factory!¡± Peng Bing said. Peng Bing still clearly remembered Sun Luguo¡¯s cold words. He understood that if he did not satisfy Sun Luguo and Lin Fan, he would definitely be in deep trouble. Since that was the case, the culprit, Li Dajiang, must be severely punished! Li Dajiang shouted, ¡°What? Director Peng, I¡¯m only doing this for the sake of the factory¡¯s property! You can¡¯t just listen to one side of the story! ¡°Furthermore, I¡¯ve done a lot for the factory over the years. Director Peng, you can¡¯t fire me so easily!¡± In Li Dajiang¡¯s opinion, even if Peng Bing knew the real reason, he would at most reprimand him with a few words. He never thought that Peng Bing would fire him directly. For a moment, he was caught off guard. However, what Li Dajiang did not expect was just the beginning. At this moment, a woman of medium build walked in in her high heels. ¡°Director Peng, these are the documents you wanted.¡± As she spoke, the woman handed over the document folder with both hands. Peng Bing took out the documents inside and read, ¡°In January 2013, the Mixu equipment, which only had a factory worth one million yuan, was sold for 200,000 yuan and received a benefit fee of 300,000 yuan. ¡°In November 2013, 700,000 yuan worth of inferior products were purchased and 200,000 yuan of service fees were received. ¡°In May of 2014, Building No. 5 of the factory was built, and a benefit fee of 800,000 was collected¡­¡± After hearing these words, Li Dajiang¡¯s whole body was covered in a cold sweat. His clothes were quickly wet, and his whole face was pale. These were all things he had done. Why¡­ How did the director know so much? ¡°Li Dajiang, is this what you¡¯ve been doing for the factory?¡± Peng Bing said coldly. ¡°Peng¡­ Factory Director Peng, you¡­ Let me explain¡­¡± Li Dajiang was extremely flustered. However, he did not give any explanation. After all, these were all things he had really done, and there was no way to explain it. At this moment, a series of police sirens sounded outside. Then, two burly investigators walked in quickly. Peng Bing said, ¡°Explain? You can explain it to the police!¡± After he finished speaking, he passed the information to the square-faced officer standing in front of him. ¡°Captain Huang, I¡¯ll have to trouble you.¡± Seeing this¡­ Li Dajiang¡¯s body finally went soft and fell to the ground. Not only did he lose his job as the general manager, but he also¡­ he might even have to go to jail! It was over, completely over! Then, Peng Bing said carefully, ¡°Young Master Sun, Brother Lin Fan, what do you think of this?¡± Sun Luguo did not reply but looked at Lin Fan. ¡°Zhang Song, what do you think?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Ah¡­ Ah¡­ It¡¯s alright¡­¡± Zhang Song nodded. He was still in a state of shock, unable to extricate himself. The factory¡¯s general manager was dismissed in front of him and even arrested? Peng Bing understood that whether or not Sun Luguo and Lin Fan were satisfied today depended on Zhang Song¡¯s family. ¡°Zhang Yongliang sacrificed his life for the factory, but we¡¯re letting his family live in such a shabby place. We¡¯ve done a bad job,¡± he said hurriedly. ¡°I¡¯ll give you guys a house in the Northern District later.¡± The Northern District was large and well-arranged, and even the general management staff could not live there. At this time, how could Li Dajiang not know that the reason why he ended up like this today was completely caused by his son forcing Zhang Song¡¯s family? Thinking of this, Li Dajiang stepped forward and slapped Li Changdong¡¯s face. He scolded, ¡°It¡¯s all your fault, you bastard!¡± Chapter 130 - 130 Congratulations for Getting on PNAS 130 Congratulations for Getting on PNAS After the officers took Li Dajiang away, Zou Kaiwei and Li Changdong were fired, and Zhang Song¡¯s family¡¯s matter was considered to have come to an end. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry that such an infuriating thing happened in my hands,¡± Peng Bing apologized again. Then, he looked at his watch and said, ¡°It¡¯s almost time for a meal. Let me treat everyone to a meal. It¡¯s my apology. Please do me the honor¡­¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Lin Fan. ¡°Sure.¡± Lin Fan nodded. Upon hearing this, Peng Bing heaved a long sigh of relief. As long as Lin Fan agreed to have a meal together, it meant that he was satisfied with the outcome. Fenglai Hotel, Jiangbei, Room 888. The table was filled with gold squab, Australian lobster, abalone with sea cucumber, and so on. When had Zhang Song and the others ever eaten such expensive dishes? At first, they were a little restrained, but after Lin Fan helped them take some food a few times, they slowly let go and stuffed their mouths. Peng Bing, on the other hand, toasted Lin Fan and Sun Luguo from time to time. This meal could be said to be very enjoyable for both the host and the guest. After leaving Fenglai Hotel, Peng Bing could not help but ask, ¡°Young Master Sun, this Brother Lin Fan¡­ What¡¯s his identity?¡± ¡°The leaders of Jiangbei City and Jiang province are all trying to please him. What do you think?¡± Sun Luguo glanced at him and said. Sun Luguo was definitely not joking. One must know that Lin Fan had saved Qin Weiming¡¯s grandson. In fact, Qin Weiming even personally went to congratulate Lin Fan¡¯s grandfather on his birthday! Peng Bing¡¯s heart started beating wildly when he heard this. Even the leaders of Jiangbei and Jiang province wanted to please him? Brother Lin Fan¡¯s identity was definitely heaven-defying! ¡­ At the factory¡¯s dormitory¡­ The big pendulum clock let out a crisp sound that was light and pleasant to the ear. After taking a sip of cold water, Chen Li was about to stand up when Zhang Huiling, who was beside her, quickly said, ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll help you.¡± In the next moment, Chen Li¡¯s expression changed slightly as she said, ¡°Wait¡­ Wait, don¡¯t help me.¡± Then, she took a few more steps forward. She walked steadily and forcefully without a trace of pain. Her injured leg from a fall a few years ago had recovered! ¡°Mom, your leg¡­ Have you healed?¡± Zhang Huiling said. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve recovered! I¡¯m completely fine now!¡± Chen Li said excitedly. Then, she suddenly thought of the medicine that Lin Fan had given her. She quickly said in a serious tone, ¡°Lil Song, you have to repay Lin Fan in the future!¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Zhang Song said. ¡­ In the next few days, Lin Fan went to class, ate, and slept. His days were very relaxed and peaceful. At the same time, in Physics Laboratory 104 of Jiangbei University. As usual, the large equipment made a rhythmic sound, and many LED lights were flashing. Wang Guohai looked at the equipment from time to time, then at the computer screen, his face full of contemplation. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± At this moment, Zhong Wenting rushed in excitedly and shouted. Wang Guohai frowned and was about to say something. Zhong Wenting held up a magazine and shouted, ¡°Professor Wang, the paper on the earthquake H particle has been officially published by PNAS!¡± ¡°Quick, let me see!¡± Wang Guohai said in surprise. The two PhD students who were doing experiments also stopped. Their faces were filled with joy as they quickly surrounded him. It was no wonder they were so excited. PNAS was a top physics journal, and it was a great honor to publish a paper in it. Wang Guohai looked at the paper in the middle and said happily, ¡°Good, good, that¡¯s great!¡± After the two PhD students read the paper, their smiles became even wider. This was because there were a total of five people¡¯s names in the thesis. The first two names listed were Wang Guohai and Zhong Wenting. After that, it was Lin Fan, Tang Zeyu, and Ding Peng. Tang Zeyu and Ding Peng were the names of these two PhD Students. This would definitely be of great help to their future. Lin Fan had only solved some calculations, but his name appeared third. This was already very rare. At this moment, Wang Guohai¡¯s phone rang with a light ringtone. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Deng Kaiwen, the dean of the School of Physics. ¡°Professor Wang, Director Feng Zhixiang of the Institute of Science and Professor Li Jing of Huaqing University have come to our Jiangbei University. If you have time now, please come to Conference Room 1 of the School of Physics with Professor Zhong Wenting,¡± Deng Kaiwen said heartily. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll be right there,¡± Wang Guohai said. After hanging up the phone, Wang Guohai told Zhong Wenting what Deng Kaiwen had said. At the same time, in Conference Room 1. There were more than a dozen scholars, experts, and professors sitting there. They were having a series of discussions on academic and scientific research. The atmosphere was extremely intense. Creak! Creak! At this moment, the door of the meeting room was slowly pushed open. Some experts were so focused on thinking and discussing that they did not even notice the door opening. Meanwhile, Dean Deng Kaiwen, who was sitting directly opposite the main entrance, immediately saw them. ¡°Professor Wang Guohai, Professor Zhong Wenting, please sit down,¡± Deng Kaiwen said. The white-haired professor named Li Jing stopped the discussion and said, ¡°Professor Wang, Professor Zhong, I just saw your paper on the H particle in PNAS. It¡¯s really wonderful!¡± After he finished, he took out a copy of PNAS. ¡°Thank you for your praise, Professor Li,¡± Wang Guohai replied. ¡°We just made a small discovery.¡± ¡°Professor Wang, you¡¯re too humble! The discovery of the H particle fluctuation in the earthquake will be of great help to the future research of the earthquake forecast!¡± Li Jing said. ¡°Oh? An earthquake prediction device? Is there any hope of researching it?¡± Department Director Feng Zhixiang, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses, quickly asked. As the director of the institute, he knew very well how important an earthquake prediction device was. Li Jing thought for a moment and said, ¡°Before a person starts exercising, their neurons will send out signals that direct their limbs. Nature will also send out similar signals before an earthquake, and the H particle is one of them. ¡°If we can crack all the signals, there should be hope for us to invent an earthquake detection device. ¡°These kinds of signals are usually very complicated,¡± Li Jing said. ¡°It¡¯s already very rare for Professor Wang and Professor Zhong to be able to calculate the trajectory of the H particle! You must have spent a lot of time, right?¡± Wang Guohai nodded in agreement. They had indeed spent a lot of time calculating the trajectory, but they had not succeeded at all. ¡°Actually, I didn¡¯t calculate this trajectory,¡± he said helplessly. ¡°Oh? Then who calculated it?¡± Li Jing said in surprise. ¡°Professor Li, just take a look at the third name and you should know,¡± Wang Guohai said. Li Jing really had not seen the third name. This was because the people whose names were positioned behind were usually just given a chance by the main researcher to show themselves. They did not participate much in the overall thesis. ¡°Lin Fan?¡± Li Jing opened the PNAS journal and looked at the name again. ¡°Could this be¡­ the person who solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s him.¡± Wang Guohai nodded. Chapter 131 - 131 Please Lin Fan; Ive Created It! 131 Please Lin Fan; I¡¯ve Created It! When Li Jing heard this, realization dawned on his face. He had long heard of this genius mathematician. Then, he was a little confused, ¡°Didn¡¯t I hear that Lin Fan is studying mathematics? He also knows physics?¡± Even though they studied physics in high school, the physics involved in the H particle was definitely very profound. Logically speaking, it should be difficult to answer without an in-depth study of physics. Wang Guohai nodded and said, ¡°Lin Fan knows physics¡­ Also, it only took him less than an hour to solve all the difficult calculations about the H particle.¡± After saying this, Wang Guohai could not help but think back to the time when Lin Fan had picked up the pen and started writing without any hesitation. ¡°Less than an hour?¡± Li Jing¡¯s eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. He was a physics expert, so he knew how complicated the calculations were. ¡°Then, please invite Lin Fan to the conference room,¡± Director Feng Zhixiang could not help but say. Lin Fan had calculated all the particles before the earthquake and had the chance of inventing an earthquake prediction device, so he wanted to meet Lin Fan. Now, he heard that Lin Fan had used less than an hour to calculate the H particle¡¯s trajectory. The thought of meeting Lin Fan grew even more urgent. Feng Zhixiang did not know how many particles would appear before an earthquake, but if there were only a dozen or so types¡­ Did not that mean that they would be able to create an earthquake prediction device soon? This was definitely not to be missed! Li Jing also looked at Wang Guohai with anticipation. ¡°Professor Zhong, why don¡¯t you contact Lin Fan?¡± Wang Guohai said. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get him to come over,¡± Zhong Wenting said. After she finished speaking, she dialed Hu Tian¡¯s number and told her about the situation. Hu Tian passed the message to Lin Fan. Lin Fan was fine with the idea to begin with, and now there was Hu Tian to persuade him. Without much hesitation, he went straight to the physics department¡¯s Conference Room 1. At this time, the experts and scholars in the conference room were passing on the PNAS journal to each other and had a heated discussion on the H particles and earthquakes. The entire meeting room was very lively. As the discussion went on, they became more and more interested in Lin Fan, who had calculated the trajectory of the H particle. Creak! Creak! At this moment, the door of Conference Room 1 was pushed open. ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re here?¡± Wang Guohai asked. When the scholars and professors heard this, they all turned to look at the door and focused their eyes on Lin Fan. ¡°Lin Fan, I finally get to see you! You¡¯re younger than I thought,¡± Li Jing said. ¡°Lin Fan, how did you calculate the B frequency in the H particle?¡± a bald professor asked. ¡°Lin Fan, in the H particle, how did you calculate the wavelength of the vibration?¡± another professor asked. ¡­ After Lin Fan entered, the conference room became even more lively. People kept asking questions. Lin Fan casually listened to a few sentences, then picked up the pen and paper on the table and wrote down the questions that Zhong Wenting had previously asked him to answer. The tip of the pen hit the paper, and a light-hearted sound rang out in the conference room. About ten minutes later, all the equations were written on the paper. Even though the answers were not very detailed, everyone present was an expert and a professor. After thinking about it for a while, they all came to a realization and let out a burst of praise from time to time. ¡°I see.¡± ¡°As expected of a genius who solved two world-class problems!¡± ¡­ After Feng Zhixiang heard everyone¡¯s words, he finally could not help but stand up. He walked forward and took the initiative to reach out his hand. ¡°Hello, Lin Fan. I¡¯m the director of the Scientific Research Institute, Feng Zhixiang.¡± ¡°Hello.¡± Lin Fan followed suit. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since we¡¯ve had a talent like you in the country!¡± Feng Zhixiang praised. Then, Feng Zhixiang chatted with Lin Fan for a while and asked him to sit down. ¡°Just now, Professor Li Jing said that many particles will appear before an earthquake. As long as we can crack all the particles, we¡¯ll have a chance to create an earthquake prediction device¡­ ¡°You¡¯ve already cracked the H particle. Do you have a way to crack the remaining particles?¡± It had to be said that Feng Zhixiang was really calm even though he was very eager to know about this. He had to chat with Lin Fan for a while before he could ask. Lin Fan said, ¡°Why do you want to crack it?¡± ¡°Because¡­¡± Feng Zhixiang thought that Lin Fan did not understand, so he prepared to explain. ¡°I¡¯ve already created an earthquake prediction device,¡± Lin Fan said. Silence! The entire conference room suddenly fell silent! Everyone¡¯s body stiffened. After a long time, Feng Zhixiang finally said, ¡°Lin¡­ Lin Fan, what did you just say?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already created an earthquake prediction device,¡± Lin Fan repeated. Feng Zhixiang laughed drily and said, ¡°Young people sure like to joke.¡± However¡­ Lin Fan threw a stack of documents on the table. The title of the document was ¡®Principles of Building an Earthquake Prediction Device.¡¯ These words in bold and black instantly occupied everyone¡¯s pupils. When Lin Fan received Hu Tian¡¯s call, he was in his dormitory. He thought for a moment and understood that the experts wanted to ask about the earthquake prediction device. Therefore, Lin Fan took the document out. Feng Zhixiang was stunned for a moment. Then, he picked up the stack of papers. Spectrum tubes, X-ray tubes, induction rings, electromagnetic generators ¡­ Many instruments were connected in series, forming an extremely complex physics experiment diagram. Below the physics experiment diagram were many physics calculations. a=2£¨V0^2£©/{¦ÐR£¨1+2k£©} Although Feng Zhixiang was the head of the Scientific Research Institute and he also had a certain level of physics knowledge, he was just an administrative official. He could not understand things that were too complicated. ¡°Professor Li, come and take a look,¡± he said softly. In fact, Li Jing had already turned his body to the side to look. He was completely immersed in the documents in front of him, unable to extricate himself. As such, he did not even hear Feng Zhixiang¡¯s words. After he finished reading the first page, Li Jing instinctively flipped to the second page, then the third page¡­ The surrounding experts and professors also noticed Li Jing¡¯s serious expression. They could not help but gather around and read the stack of information. With one look, everyone¡¯s eyes could not move away. In the blink of an eye, two hours passed¡­ In the past, the experts and professors would feel sore in their waists and legs even if they stood for more than half an hour. However, none of them noticed the pain now. Their eyes were still fixed on the information. Finally, they finished reading the last page. ¡°How is it?¡± Feng Zhixiang hurriedly asked. ¡°There¡¯s no problem with the information!¡± Li Jing said. ¡°Good! Good! Good!¡± Feng Zhixiang shouted excitedly. Chapter 132 - 132 The Confidentiality Agreement; Its in My Dormitory 132 The Confidentiality Agreement; It¡¯s in My Dormitory Li Jing looked at Feng Zhixiang¡¯s happy expression and could not help but say, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen any major problems for the time being. But¡­ I still need to do research and experiment. ¡°In addition, some of the techniques on the list are very complicated. With the current technology, it may not be possible to complete them.¡± He continued after a pause, ¡°Of course, even if the earthquake prediction device isn¡¯t produced in the end, this information will still be of great help to us.¡± Clearly, Li Jing still left some leeway in his words. In his opinion, the ¡®Principles of Building an Earthquake Prediction Device¡¯ was already perfect. However, as he said, research and experiments were needed to produce results. When Feng Zhixiang heard this, his entire old face was red. Excitement! Even though Li Jing did not make a full statement, this still meant that there was hope of creating an earthquake prediction device! One had to know that earthquakes were definitely the most terrifying and one of the most unpredictable natural disasters. Especially when a great earthquake brought about an incomparably huge disaster! If they could really create an earthquake prediction device¡­ That way, not only could the impact of the disaster be minimized, but it could also increase the influence of the entire Hua Nation on the international stage! That was because Hua Nation was the first and only country to have the technology to predict earthquakes! The only? As he thought of this, Feng Zhixiang¡¯s eyes turned cold. He suddenly swept his gaze across the experts and professors present. ¡°From now on, no one is allowed to leave the conference room!¡± Feng Zhixiang had always been a gentle person. Even when he was dealing with ordinary workers, he would always smile as if he was bathing in the spring breeze. At this moment, facing the experts and professors, he was extremely serious. He was like a terrifying King Kong with angry eyes. It was because he was very clear on the weight of this information. They could not reveal it! The experts and professors were also shocked by Feng Zhixiang¡¯s gaze. They quickly realized the reason, so they did not resist and nodded silently. Then, Feng Zhixiang quickly took out his phone and made a call. After Feng Zhixiang hung up the phone, the entire conference room was extremely quiet. One could even vaguely hear the second hand of the watch turning. In just ten minutes, seven or eight men in uniforms quickly walked in. Among them, a square-faced man in uniform walked in front of Feng Zhixiang and stretched out his hand. ¡°Hello, Director Feng.¡± ¡°Hello, Team Leader Qiu.¡± Feng Zhixiang reached out his hand. ¡°Sorry to trouble you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s my duty!¡± Team Leader Qiu said. Then, he took out a stack of S-class confidentiality agreements, which roughly read¡ª¡¯all the contents of today¡¯s meeting must not be disclosed to anyone.¡¯ After seeing the confidentiality level, all the experts and professors became serious. An S-class confidentiality agreement was the highest level of confidentiality. As long as they revealed a single word of what had happened today, there was no doubt that the relevant departments would appear in front of them in the next second and take them away directly. However, the experts and professors soon felt relieved. That was because the ¡®Principles of Building an Earthquake Prediction Device¡¯ was worth keeping a secret. Very quickly, other than Lin Fan, everyone present had signed their names. Seeing this¡­ Feng Zhixiang heaved a sigh of relief. He turned to Lin Fan and said, ¡°From 1950 to 1951, there were two major earthquakes, causing¡­ In 1966, there was a huge earthquake in the northern province, causing¡­¡± Every time Feng Zhixiang said something, a pained expression would appear on his face. Slowly, his voice became a little choked. Lin Fan could tell that this was definitely not a pretense but a genuine feeling! Director Feng was a man who truly served the country and its people. Feng Zhixiang said in an extremely solemn tone, ¡°Lin Fan, I know that you¡¯ve put a lot of effort into researching this information. However, the country really needs it! ¡°Please let me take it away!¡± After he finished speaking, Feng Zhixiang even bowed deeply to Lin Fan. In fact, with Feng Zhixiang¡¯s identity, there was absolutely no problem for him to take the information away directly. It was because this was an important matter for national security, and the citizens should do their best to cooperate. However, he was begging Lin Fan so seriously. It had to be said that Feng Zhixiang¡¯s character was indeed very good. Lin Fan did not feel any dislike toward this person. In addition, this information was nothing to him. In fact, when Lin Fan had brought the information, he had already planned to hand it over. ¡°Sure,¡± he nodded. ¡°Thank you! Thank you, Lin Fan!¡± Feng Zhixiang said excitedly, ¡°With this information, I believe that we will be able to develop an earthquake prediction device very soon!¡± Perhaps it was because he had been sitting here for too long, but Lin Fan could not help but stretch his back and say, ¡°Develop it? That won¡¯t be necessary. I¡¯ve already said that I¡¯ve already built an earthquake prediction device.¡± Silence! The entire conference room fell into silence again! After a while, Feng Zhixiang grabbed Lin Fan¡¯s hands and said, ¡°What did you just say? You¡¯ve already built an earthquake prediction device? Where is it?¡± Even though Lin Fan really admired this Director Feng who was dedicated to the public, Lin Fan could not help but feel goosebumps all over his body when he held his hands like that. He immediately pulled back his hands and said, ¡°In my dormitory.¡± ¡°What? Dormitory?¡± Feng Zhixiang¡¯s eyes widened. How could he leave such an important thing in the dormitory? What if it was stolen? Then, Lin Fan, Feng Zhixiang, Li Jing, Wang Guohai, and Team Leader Qiu went to the male dormitory of Jiangbei University. The remaining professors and experts were still in the conference room. They were not allowed to go out or contact anyone. Originally, Lin Fan wanted to take his time and return to the dormitory. However, Feng Zhixiang, Li Jing, Wang Guohai, and Team Leader Qiu were practically running over. Even these middle-aged and elderly people were working so hard. Lin Fan was helpless and could only speed up. After a while, they arrived at Room 104 of the male dormitory. Feng Zhixiang quickly scanned the dormitory but did not find anything. He asked anxiously, ¡°Lin Fan, where did you put it?¡± Lin Fan pointed at the black thing that looked like a table and said, ¡°There. This is it.¡± ¡°This?¡± Feng Zhixiang, Li Jing, Wang Guohai, and the rest all widened their eyes in disbelief. This black thing that looked like a small table was the legendary earthquake prediction device? It looked like a small table? No! This dormitory was probably really using it as a small table, because there was a cup on it! Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, Lin Fan opened the ¡®table cover.¡¯ Suddenly, many complicated buttons and an entire LCD screen appeared in everyone¡¯s field of vision. Then, Lin Fan casually pressed a few buttons. Swish! The pitch-black ¡®little table¡¯ started to shake slightly. At the same time, the curve of the ground was clearly displayed on the screen. Seeing this¡­ Everyone held their breath, their faces filled with anxiety. Chapter 133 - 133 Loving Family; An Earthquake Will Happen Here 133 Loving Family; An Earthquake Will Happen Here About ten minutes later, the results appeared on the display. [Fu City (north latitude: 26.9, east longitude:119.3), a magnitude 4.1 earthquake with an epicenter depth of 70 kilometers will occur at about 15:30 on January 2.] [Chuan City (north latitude: 40.1, east longitude:125.2), at about 21:30 on January 2, a magnitude 5.1 earthquake will occur with an epicenter depth of 80 kilometers.] [Han City (north latitude: 31.1, east longitude:113.2), at about 9:20 on January 3, a magnitude 3.5 earthquake with an epicenter depth of 60 kilometers will occur.] When Feng Zhixiang, Li Jing, Wang Guohai, and the rest saw the news, their eyes immediately widened. ¡°Today is the 31st. The earthquake prediction device can predict the earthquakes in the next four days? Lin Fan, are the results accurate?¡± Feng Zhixiang asked anxiously. ¡°The results are accurate. Strictly speaking, it can predict earthquakes five days before they take place,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Good, good, good!¡± Feng Zhixiang shouted excitedly. It was very easy to verify the results of the earthquake prediction device. All they needed to do was wait a few days. Once the results were verified, then¡­ Feng Zhixiang¡¯s heart could not help but beat violently just by thinking about this possibility. He looked at the black earthquake prediction device as if he was looking at the most beautiful treasure in the world. ¡°Lin Fan, can we take it away?¡± Feng Zhixiang asked. ¡°Sure,¡± Lin Fan said indifferently. Outside the corridor, footsteps could be heard. Then, Zheng Jinbao, Song Yi, and Ma Zhong walked in. When they saw that so many people had come to the dormitory, their faces all revealed a touch of confusion. Team Leader Qiu, who was standing at the side, had a solemn expression as if he wanted to subdue Zheng Jinbao, Song Yi, and Ma Zhong. After all, there was an earthquake prediction device here. This information must not be leaked, and there must be no harm done! Lin Fan seemed to know what Team Leader Qiu was thinking. ¡°They¡¯re my roommates. They don¡¯t know the situation¡­¡± Team Leader Qiu¡¯s footsteps faltered slightly before he stopped moving. With the arrival of Zheng Jinbao and the others, some words could not be said. Hence, after Feng Zhixiang thanked Lin Fan for a while, he asked someone to bring the earthquake prediction device and left Jiangbei University in a hurry. Zheng Jinbao looked at the group of people¡¯s cautious appearance, curled his lips, and said, ¡°It¡¯s a good thing the box is black. If it was gold, people would probably think it was gold.¡± Gold? To put it bluntly, gold of the same size could not even be compared to a corner of the earthquake prediction device. At that moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. Teacher Tiantian: [Are you free tonight?] ¡­ At Teacher Tiantian¡¯s house. The sound of running water came from the bathroom. Lin Fan was watching the television in boredom. At this moment, his phone kept vibrating. Someone sent a message to the ¡®Loving Family¡¯ WeChat group that had been silent for a long time. Lin Bo: [Happy New Year!] Then, a big red packet appeared on the screen. Lin Jiamin replied: [Thank you, Uncle.] Chen Zhu: [Thank you, Uncle!] Lin Tao: [Happy New Year!] He had sent out red packets. The red packets were like flames, causing the WeChat group to be completely lively. Lin Jiamin: [I got another red packet, I¡¯m so happy!] Chen Zhu: [Jiamin, it¡¯s New Year¡¯s Day. Do you want to go somewhere to play?] Lin Jiamin: [I¡¯m preparing to go to Chuan City¡¯s Tiandi Peak to play. I heard that the mountains and clouds there are especially beautiful!] Chen Bo: [Mountain climbing? It¡¯s a good choice. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery and train your body at the same time. When the time comes, remember to send us some photos.] Lin Jiamin: [No problem!] ¡­. When Lin Fan saw this, he sent out a message. Lin Fan said: [Chuan City will experience a 5.1 magnitude earthquake the day after tomorrow. It¡¯s best to go somewhere else.] Li Fenfang: [What? There¡¯ll be an earthquake? Jiamin, don¡¯t go to Chuan City.] Lin Jiamin: [But¡­ I¡¯ve even bought a ticket. Aggrieved.jpg.] Dai weixue: [Jiamin, you should listen to your mother¡­ Mount Lu in Jiangshi City is as beautiful as Tiandi Peak. Additionally, it¡¯s close to home.] Lin Jiamin: [Alright.] ¡­ Creak! Creak! At this moment, the bathroom door opened, and thick mist floated out. In the mist, Hu Tian, who was wrapped in a bathrobe, slowly revealed herself. As she had just taken a shower, there were still a few drops of water on her neck. In addition, the bathroom was stuffy, so her pretty face was a little red. She was beautiful and alluring. Sitting on the sofa, Lin Fan¡¯s heart could not help but beat faster. He completely ignored the messages from the ¡®Loving Family¡¯ group chat. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ? (¡¥¦ê¡¥?) ¡­ Tonight, the entire house was shaking up and down at a high frequency. It was a sleepless night! ¡­ At this moment, Lin Fan did not know that the news that he had casually sent out was gradually causing a huge commotion. Huang Furong was an unknown independent reporter. The articles she published rarely received any attention. In order to gain attention, Huang Furong recently added a large number of strangers on WeChat. One of them added her to the ¡®Loving Family¡¯ group. Huang Furong saw the group name and immediately understood that the other party must have added the wrong person. However, she did not leave the group. This was because this was a good opportunity to expand her social circle. Furthermore, there were people in the group who sent red packets from time to time. This made Huang Furong secretly happy. When she managed to get another eight yuan red packet, someone in the group who was named Lin Fan sent out a message: [Chuan City will experience a 5.1 magnitude earthquake the day after tomorrow. It¡¯s best to go elsewhere.] Seeing this, Huang Furong showed a disdainful smile. ¡°This person really knows how to talk nonsense. There¡¯ll be a 5.1 magnitude earthquake the day after tomorrow? Who does he think he is when even the country can¡¯t predict earthquakes?¡± ¡°Wait, an earthquake?¡± Huang Furong¡¯s eyes changed. She seemed to smell a trace of traffic. She quickly turned on the computer and logged in to several side accounts. In different groups, she sent screenshots of the Loving Family conversation and started typing with some embellishments. Then, she continued to take screenshots of the conversations. Not long after, Huang Furong used the public account she created not long ago with the ID Sister Furong to post an article: [Shocking! An earthquake is about to happen here. Quickly forward it to the people you care about the most!] Then, Huang Furong forwarded the article to all her friends using her alternate accounts. In the face of natural disasters, humans had an instinctive fear. When someone saw the article, they did not hesitate at all and clicked to read it. Then, they quickly reposted the article and sent it to their friends and family in Chuan City. In their eyes¡­ If the news was true, they had to tell their friends and family to take precautions. If the information was false, then there was nothing wrong with being careful. This article spread like wildfire. In just one day, the news of the earthquake spread all over Chuan City. ¡­ Huang Furong looked at the increasing number of views and followers on the computer screen and started dancing with joy. ¡°100,000! I got 100,000 followers in one day! That¡¯s great! Hahaha!¡± Huang Furong seemed to see a large amount of cash waving at her. ¡­ At night, in Chuan City. The currently popular female star, Li Jing, was wearing sunglasses and reeking of alcohol. She was staggering out of a high-end bar. When she reached the Porsche, she finally could not help but vomit. After a while, Li Jing sat in the driver¡¯s seat. After a series of rumbling sounds, it sped forward. At this moment, she only felt that her head was heavy and her feet were light. It was as though the world was floating. When she saw a red light, Li Jing had no intention of stopping at all. She slammed into the Audi that was parked in front of the pedestrian crossing. Bang! Chapter 134 - 134 A Storm Rises! (1) 134 A Storm Rises! (1) When Li Jing opened her eyes in a daze, she was already in the ward. Her agent, Yao Yue, was anxiously making a call. When she saw that Li Jing had woken up, she quickly hung up the phone and said, ¡°You¡¯re finally awake! You drank yesterday, so why did you still drive? You could have just given me a call!¡± Li Jing rubbed her head, which was still a little swollen, and said, ¡°I was so drunk. How could I have remembered so much?¡± ¡°You were so drunk? Do you know how much of an impact you¡¯ve caused by being drunk?¡± Yao Yue reproached. After saying that, she quickly opened Weibo. Hot Search No. 1: [Li Jing¡¯s Drunk-Driving Accident] Servant Qiao: [Repeat after me. People who drink and drive are all jerks!] Flower Swaying in the Wind: [The person whose car was hit was really innocent.] Firmament: [I¡¯ve completely turned from a fan to a hater.] Hornet¡¯s Nest: [If Hardy doesn¡¯t terminate its contract with Li Jing, I won¡¯t buy Hardy¡¯s clothes and shoes anymore.] Annoyed: [I heard that she¡¯s on the next episode of Happy Family. I hope the team can remove her with photoshop. Otherwise, I¡¯ll feel disgusted watching the show.] ¡­ There were tens of thousands of similar comments. After Li Jing saw this, a thin layer of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead. At this moment, she finally realized the seriousness of the matter. A large number of fans turned into haters, her endorsement contract was terminated, and she was removed from the show. This was simply¡­ devastating! ¡°What should we do?¡± Li Jing was flustered. ¡°What should we do? Sister Yue, you have to help me!¡± Ever since Li Jing became famous, she ate at Michelin restaurants and stayed in four-star hotels or above. She was often late to work by a few hours¡­ Many people in the industry were very dissatisfied with her. As Li Jing¡¯s manager, Yao Yue spent a lot of time and effort in the industry to help Li Jing secure resources. Now that such a thing had happened, Yao Yue was having a headache. ¡°The public relations team is thinking of a solution. Let¡¯s wait for now,¡± Yao Yue said. Li Jing¡¯s phone rang urgently. At this time, she was extremely vexed and did not want to answer any calls at all. She hung up without even looking at the phone. However, her phone rang again very quickly. Li Jing was annoyed, and only then did she look at the caller ID. It turned out to be her mother, Chen Chunhua. ¡°Mom, why did you call?¡± Li Jing said angrily. ¡°I heard you got into a car accident. How are you doing? Which hospital are you at? Your dad and I want to go and see you.¡± Chen Chunhua¡¯s concerned voice could be heard from the phone. ¡°It¡¯s just a wrecked car. You don¡¯t have to look for me! If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯m hanging up,¡± Li Jing said. ¡°Wait, you¡¯re in Chuan City now, right? I heard that an earthquake is going to happen in Chuan City. Don¡¯t take the elevator when you go downstairs¡­¡± Chen Chunhua said with concern. However, Li Jing felt that her mother was too long-winded and said impatiently, ¡°I know, I know¡­¡± Then, she hung up the call. After Li Jing hung up the call, her phone kept vibrating. Many people in the industry had sent their well wishes on WeChat. Li Jing said indignantly, ¡°Stop pretending! I think you guys can¡¯t wait for me to get injured and ban me!¡± After all, there were only so many resources in the entertainment industry. If something happened to her, others would have a chance. Another WeChat message popped up. This was a WeChat article forwarded by her mother, Chen Chunhua. [Shocking! An earthquake is about to happen here! Quickly forward it to the people you care about the most!] Chen Chunhua was worried that Li Jing would not take the earthquake to heart. Therefore, she specially forwarded the article to make her pay more attention. Li Jing casually clicked on the article and skimmed through it. The next moment, her thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°An earthquake is going to happen in Chuan City? This¡­ This is really good news!¡± ¡­ On Weibo. While everyone was looking forward to it, Li Jing finally made a post. Li Jing: [This year, I took on roles as a student, a murderer, a nurse, a heroine, and more. In order to act out these roles well or even become like them, I often practice hard in front of the mirror at home. [However, the constant changing of roles also made my mind chaotic, making me unable to know who I was. Gradually, I lost sleep all night long, and the sleeping pills lost their effect on me. [In order to sleep, I have no choice but to try to numb myself with alcohol. [Last night, the roles of a student, murderer, nurse, heroine, and others kept flashing in my mind. My clothes were soaked in a cold sweat, and I felt like I was going crazy. [Thus, I quickly drank a glass of wine and felt a little better. [At that moment, there was a loud noise in the distance. Even my house seemed to be shaking. [Then, I suddenly remembered today¡¯s article which stated that an earthquake was about to happen here. [I happened to be in Chuan City, so I was afraid that there really was an earthquake. [My mind was blank at that time, and I only wanted to leave the house and escape to an empty place. [In a moment of desperation, I couldn¡¯t care about anything else and directly drove out, but I didn¡¯t expect to get into a car accident. [I would like to apologize to the Audi owner. I¡¯m sorry. What I¡¯m most worried about right now is your health! I hope this unexpected disaster didn¡¯t bring you any harm. In addition, I¡¯ll compensate you for all your losses, including any harm done to your vehicle, mind, body, time, and so on. I hope you can understand. I¡¯m sorry again. [Secondly, I would like to thank my fans for their support. However, I¡¯ve made such a mistake. I¡¯m sorry to disappoint you.] Chapter 135 - 135 A Storm Rises (2) 135 A Storm Rises (2) [Finally, everyone, please remember this¡ªdon¡¯t drink and drive! You must abide by the laws and regulations!] It had to be said that Li Jing and her public relations team did have some tricks up their sleeves. They had described a bad-tempered, arrogant, drunk-driving evildoer as a professional, polite, kind-hearted, and virtuous victim! After this Weibo post was posted, with the help of Li Jing and other related personnel, it immediately caused a huge response. Big Tree: [I knew it. My Jing Jing would never drink and drive. So that¡¯s what happened.] You¡¯re the Wind, I¡¯m the Sand: [Jing Jing has worked so hard to film a good TV show. My heart aches for her.] Fruit Flavor: [Jing Jing is an actress, the best actress! Bawle.jpg.] Huahua: [In the past, I heard people say that Jing Jing was a TV show addict. It¡¯s true! After seeing Jing Jing¡¯s Weibo post, my heart really aches for her.] Candle: [I will support Jing Jing even more in the future!] Blossoming Waves: [She kept apologizing to the Audi owner and even offered the best compensation¡­ Don¡¯t worry, if the person sees it, they¡¯ll definitely forgive you.] Pengpeng: [Jing Jing, you don¡¯t have to apologize to your fans. We should be the ones apologizing. We were wrong about you before.] Ly: [Aren¡¯t earthquakes unpredictable? How did Li Jing feel an earthquake coming?] Wind Man: [Didn¡¯t you see the article on the earthquake forecast? Yesterday, many people knew that an earthquake was going to happen in Chuan City! If you heard a loud noise in the middle of the night, won¡¯t you think it¡¯s an earthquake?] Magnanimous Man: [I¡¯m from Chuan City. When I saw the article yesterday, my mother was about to take us to another city to escape! After all, there¡¯s a saying, ¡®if you believe something, it¡¯s real. If you don¡¯t believe it, it¡¯s not!¡¯] Weiai Jing: [Jing Jing is such a nice person. She¡¯s even worried about the Audi owner. I¡¯m only worried about whether Jing Jing is injured.] Consort: [I hope Jing Jing is fine.] Lonely Bug: [Pray for Jing Jing.] ¡­ Soon, the number of comments and shares on Li Jing¡¯s Weibo post reached more than 100,000, and it firmly occupied the top of the hot search list. It was also after this Weibo post that everyone immediately forgot about her drunk driving. Instead, they started to feel sorry for Li Jing and prayed for her. In fact, Li Jing¡¯s fans did not even decrease because of the drunk-driving incident. On the contrary, the number of her fans was rising steadily. Li Jing silently looked at the comments on Weibo and her increasing number of fans. The corners of her mouth curled up. She decided to take this opportunity to raise her popularity to another level. Li Jing asked the makeup artist to make her face look pale. Then, she lay on the bed and took a few photos. When everything was ready, she updated her Weibo again. Li Jing: [I¡¯m so touched after seeing the comments from my most adorable fans! Your support is my greatest motivation! [If I don¡¯t get punished by the company for this, I promise that I¡¯ll repay my lovely fans with more and better works! [In addition, my body is already fine. [Lastly, if the Audi owner sees my Weibo post, please contact me as soon as possible. I¡¯m really worried about your health. Please let me make up for my mistake, thank you!] The Weibo post was not long, but it fully expressed Li Jing¡¯s pitiful and caring image. At the same time, it further strengthened her kind character. Following that, Li Jing and the relevant personnel bought traffic and let more people join in the comments. Rose: [Jing Jing is so haggard. My heart aches for her! Yet she¡¯s still concerned about the Audi owner. She¡¯s really kind.] Stranger: [Even the sick Jing Jing is beautiful!] Belief: [Jing Jing, you have to take good care of your body. We look forward to more of your work.] Dream of the Stars: [This isn¡¯t Jing Jing¡¯s fault at all. The company shouldn¡¯t punish her!] Oops: [What does this have to do with Jing Jing? If you want to blame someone, blame that article shared by the public account!] City Within a City: [Earthquakes are unpredictable! That article is simply spreading rumors. Everyone, quickly report it!] Thunder From a Clear Sky: [It caused Jing Jing to get into a car accident. Report it!] ¡­ Very quickly, the post about the earthquake was blocked. Even the public account ¡®Sister Furong¡¯ was shut down. Huang Furong looked at the official account that had just gained 100,000 fans. She had not earned any money from it and it was gone. It made Huang Furong feel as if she had fallen from the sky to the ground. Her entire person was extremely dejected. ¡­ The official account and article were gone, but Li Jing did not stop there. If the popularity of the matter subsided, the traffic would drop. Hence, she posted a new Weibo post. Li Jing: [I have good news. I¡¯ve contacted the Audi owner. He¡¯s not injured. I can finally relax. [In addition, thank you, my lovely fans, for reminding me that the article was just a rumor. [Earthquakes are unpredictable! [I¡¯ll be more cautious in the future. [Chat screenshot.jpg, chat screenshot. JPG, chat screenshot. JPG. [I don¡¯t know how many people have been deceived like me. [The first person to spread the rumor is really too evil! [If you see similar news in the future, please take my case as a warning. Don¡¯t listen to rumors, don¡¯t believe rumors, and don¡¯t spread rumors!] This time, Li Jing continued to maintain her kind side. At the same time, she also established her image as a public figure who lead by example, respected the law, and abided by the law. At this moment, a beautiful, kind, loyal, law-abiding, and perfect idol with both virtue and skill was born! Love You: [That¡¯s great. The Audi owner is fine. Jing Jing can finally rest in peace!] Someone Song: [I also don¡¯t listen to rumors, don¡¯t believe rumors, and don¡¯t spread rumors! Jing Jing is really a good star who spreads positive energy. She is indeed my goddess!] Hang Hang: [Jing Jing is right! The first person to spread the rumor is too evil! My mom was worried and scared all day because of the news of the earthquake!] Extraordinarily Handsome: [This kind of person must be punished! Is there someone who can find the first person who spread the news of the earthquake?] Bai Li: [It¡¯s obvious who¡¯s the first person to spread the rumors. It¡¯s Lin Fan, from Loving Family!] Gucheng Wangqing: [Are there any big shots that can find Lin fan? This kind of person must be punished by society!] Dream of the Stars: [It¡¯s not enough for him to be condemned by society. He spread rumors and broke the law. He must be severely punished!] Chapter 136 - 136 New Year’s Day Shopping; Detection Successful 136 New Year¡¯s Day Shopping; Detection Successful Lin Fan did not know or care about what was happening on the internet. In the morning, after Lin Fan left Hu Tian¡¯s house, he drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and brought Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian to KM Mall. He was prepared to buy them some good things. They were really too thrifty. Qiu Ziqian¡¯s condition was slightly better. Lin Fan had given her a total of two million. In just over a month, she had used up 1.2 million. As for Huang Ling¡¯s one million, she had more than a month to spend it and still had nearly 900,000. As it was New Year¡¯s Day, KM Mall was full of ribbons and balloons, making it particularly festive. All sorts of discount activities were displayed on the huge electronic display screen. Therefore, it attracted many people to come and shop, and it was very lively. Lin Fan had just walked into the main entrance of KM Mall when he saw the Patek Phillippe store not far away. Hence, he walked straight over. Patek Philippe was high-end and fashionable. The storefront was luxuriously decorated and had an atmosphere of luxury. The location was even better. As long as one entered KM Mall, they would find it. However, when they saw the price of any one of the Patek Philippe watches, they would stop and quickly leave. The watches were simply too expensive. At this time, a middle-aged man with a beer belly was looking at two watches, struggling to make a choice. ¡°Welcome,¡± the shop assistant behind him said with a smile. Then, a light and elegant fragrance slowly drifted over. The middle-aged man could not help but turn around. He only saw¡­ two curvaceous beauties strolling in. They were Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling. Today, Qiu Ziqian was wearing a white dress that matched her fair skin. She looked like a fairy that had descended from the heavens. Huang Ling was wearing a pink lace dress, and with her exquisite features, she looked like a carefully made doll. When the middle-aged man saw them, he could not take his eyes off them. He did not even notice Lin Fan who was standing at the side. When Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling came closer, the middle-aged man came back to his senses and pointed at a golden watch. ¡°This one looks okay. I¡¯ll take it.¡± His tone was so relaxed and indifferent. It was as if the person who had been sitting in the shop and thinking for nearly half an hour was not him. ¡°It¡¯s 253,888 yuan in total,¡± the salesperson said. ¡°Sir, are you paying by card?¡± ¡°Yes, I am.¡± The middle-aged man took out a bank card. Beep! After a soft sound, the bill appeared. The middle-aged man put the watch on his wrist. Then, he acted as if he had just seen Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling. The middle-aged man smiled and said, ¡°You two beauties are not only beautiful, but you also have good taste! Be it the workmanship or the style, the Ballista is one of the best in the world. It even has the title of ¡®The King of 10,000 Watches.''¡± ¡°Mhm,¡± Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian responded perfunctorily out of courtesy. ¡°Let me introduce myself. I¡¯m the general manager of Wind Feather Media, Cai Bowen. I wonder if I have the opportunity to get to know you two beautiful ladies?¡± The middle-aged man did not seem to notice their perfunctory response. As he spoke, he handed out two business cards and deliberately showed them the watch he had just bought. Cai Bowen had just bought a watch that cost 253,888 yuan, and now, he had even revealed his identity as the general manager of Wind Feather Media. The two beauties in front of him would definitely accept his business card. This was the double temptation of money and status! This was only a matter of course for Cai Bowen. Before this, Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian were still perfunctory, but now, they were completely ignoring him. Cai Bowen held up his business cards and felt a little awkward. Lin Fan, who was standing at the side, did not care too much. He pointed at the watch not far away and asked, ¡°What do you guys think of this watch?¡± ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful!¡± Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian praised from the bottom of their hearts. ¡°This is Patek Phillipe¡¯s PP Series,¡± the salesperson beside him introduced. ¡°The same model comes in two colors, red and white. The case is made of 18k rose gold and inlaid with 347 diamonds, and the dial is a white Bali Island mother-of-pearl shell. The overall look is luxurious but pure¡­¡± Lin Fan noticed that after the salesperson¡¯s introduction, Huang Ling¡¯s and Qiu Ziqian¡¯s beautiful eyes became even brighter. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take two then,¡± he said. ¡°Huh?¡± The salesperson was slightly stunned. ¡°I¡¯ll have two of these watches,¡± Lin Fan repeated. ¡°Ah, ah¡­ Alright,¡± the salesperson finally reacted and responded. She had served many rich people. However, this was the first time she had met someone who directly asked for two. She had yet to say how much the watches cost, right? ¡°The price of each watch is 518,888 yuan. May I know who you are, Sir?¡± the salesperson quickly said. Before she could finish, Lin Fan handed her a bank card. Beep! He swiped his bank card on the POS machine, and the bill appeared. A million-yuan worth of goods was successfully purchased just like that! How long had it been? From the moment he entered the door to the payment¡­ Everything was done in less than a minute! At the same time, Lin Fan¡¯s phone showed 103 more red packets waiting to be collected. The salesperson was still a little confused and asked, ¡°Sir, what colors would you like?¡± ¡°You two can choose the color you like.¡± Lin Fan turned to Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian. Even though Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian had already witnessed Lin Fan¡¯s generosity, they were still filled with excitement and sweetness. ¡°I want the white one,¡± Qiu Ziqian said. ¡°I want the red one,¡± Huang Ling said. ¡°If you want to attract girls, you have to show them something practical,¡± Lin Fan said to Cai Bowen. Cai Bowen, who had been holding his business cards, blushed. He quickly took back the business cards and tried to cover the watch he had just bought with his sleeve. Then, he ran out. How embarrassing! It was too embarrassing! Lin Fan chuckled and shook his head. After that, he brought Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling to buy bags of clothes and cosmetics, spending a total of 1.02 million yuan. The sky had completely darkened. Lin Fan, Qiu Ziqian, and Huang Ling returned to Yi Ke City. Even though they had been shopping for an entire day, Lin Fan was still full of energy. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ Normally, the Jingbei Scientific Research Institute would have a holiday during the new year. Today, however, it was a hubbub of voices. Many famous scientists were gathered here. ¡°Wavelength, correct!¡± ¡°Frequency, correct!¡± ¡°It¡¯s shaking. There¡¯s no mistake!¡± ¡­. ¡°The principle of the earthquake diviner, correct!¡± After the last voice was heard, the venue immediately burst into a loud cheer. Feng Zhixiang, in particular, was so happy that he jumped up. This meant that the earthquake prediction device had really been built! Humans could predict earthquakes in advance! This would definitely reduce the number of disasters! After Feng Zhixiang returned home, he was still in a good mood. Hence, he started to play with his phone. After a while, his eyes fell on the trending title¡ª¡¯The Culprit, Lin Fan!¡¯ Chapter 137 - 137 Are You Worthy of Being a Scientific Genius 137 Are You Worthy of Being a Scientific Genius Feng Zhixiang looked at the news headline and frowned slightly. He could not help but click on the hot news, and countless comments and screenshots instantly entered his eyes. Flower in the Wind: [Lin Fan spread rumors about the earthquake and hurt Jing Jing. He must be severely punished!] 432: [Yes! Lin Fan is the main culprit! Come out and apologize to Jing Jing!] Strong Person: pLin Fan, hurry up and come out to apologize to Jing Jing!] ¡­ As he continued to flip through the pages, Feng Zhixiang¡¯s face turned ashen. The smile on his face was long gone, and in its place was anger! Feng Zhixiang could tell that the Lin Fan from the ¡®Loving Family¡¯ group chat was the Lin Fan who created the earthquake prediction device. Feng Zhixiang clearly remembered the shock on the faces of the academicians and scientists at the Scientific Research Institute when they saw the earthquake prediction device and the ¡®Principles of Building an Earthquake Prediction Device.¡¯ He also understood that these things did not appear out of thin air! It was something that Lin Fan had painstakingly developed! In fact, after Lin Fan developed it, he handed it over to the country selflessly! Such a selfless scientist¡­ However, at this moment, he was framed by an actress and even maliciously exposed on the internet! It was simply¡­ preposterous! Feng Zhixiang¡¯s eyes were red with anger, and he was so anxious that he kept pacing around on the spot. After a long while, he made a call. ¡°Director Qi from the Earthquake Center? I¡¯m Feng Zhixiang from the Scientific Research Institute. ¡°Lin Fan from Jiangbei University has developed an earthquake prediction device, and it passed our research institute¡¯s review¡­ ¡°Now, we need you to make an announcement to prevent unnecessary harm to the public¡­¡± Although the earthquake prediction device had indeed passed the review of the scientists, it was only in theory. In fact, it would be best to wait for a few earthquakes to happen and see if the results were consistent with the predictions. This was the safest way to announce it. However, Feng Zhixiang could not wait that long! Firstly, as he said, he did not want the masses to be hurt. Secondly, he did not want the selfless scientist Lin Fan to be slandered! Even if it meant that he had to take a huge risk for this. ¡­ That night, the Earthquake Center released the news on their website and on their official website. [Recently, Lin Fan of Jiangbei University invented an earthquake prediction device that can predict earthquakes that might take place five days before they occur. We¡¯ll now announce the earthquake situation in the next five days. [Fu City (north latitude: 26.9, east longitude:119.3), a magnitude 4.1 earthquake with an epicenter depth of 70 kilometers will occur at about 15:30 on January 2.] [Chuan City (north latitude: 40.1, east longitude:125.2), at about 21:30 on January 2, a magnitude 5.1 earthquake will occur with an epicenter depth of 80 kilometers.] [Han City (north latitude: 31.1, east longitude:[ 113.2), a magnitude 3.5 earthquake with an epicenter depth of 60 kilometers will occur at around 9:20 on January 3.] After this news appeared, people quickly began to comment. I¡¯m Your Big Brother: [There¡¯ll really be an earthquake in Chuan City today? F*ck! Run!] Hello, Model: [An earthquake in Fu City too?! Hurry up and pack up to take refuge!] Wind Man: Lin Fan invented an earthquake prediction device? In that case, the article did not spout nonsense?] King Among Kings: [Heavens! Why are there so many earthquakes?] Daze: [No way! There¡¯ll be an earthquake in Han City too? This has never happened before!] ¡­ It had to be said that the influence of the Earthquake Center was still great, and the discussion was rising rapidly. The number of comments and shares quickly reached tens of thousands, and it directly jumped to the top five of the most searched list. In reality, many people also began to discuss it. ¡­ In a dark rental house. Chen Zhong, who had a full beard, saw this and immediately smelled the business opportunity of traffic. Thus, he logged into a Weibo account with the ID Sunshine Scholar. Chen Hao first chewed the betel nut hard and took a deep puff of a cigarette. After that, he tried to search for information about Lin Fan of Jiangbei University. Finally, he released an article. [Are you worthy of being a scientific genius? [The following is what I think as a scholar. [Today, I learned from my friend that the people in the cities are carrying their bags while rushing to places. Cars are swarming together, causing car accidents to happen constantly. All the roads are congested, and there are even frequent tramples. [Among these people, some successfully left the cities, while some are stuck. No one is even there to clean up the bodies, which have piled up like a mountain! [Car crash.jpg! [Trample.jpg! [Corpse.jpg! [When I saw these photos, my heart was filled with grief! [I shouted, ¡®Why have the originally lively and prosperous cities become like this?!¡¯ [So, I quickly asked many friends and found out that this isn¡¯t only happening in Fu City but also Chuan City and Han City! [And the reason for all of this is a student of Jiangbei University¡ªLin Fan! [That¡¯s right! [It¡¯s the same Lin Fan who posted about the earthquake in the ¡®Loving Family¡¯ group chat, causing the famous movie star Li Jing to be in a car accident! [Earthquakes are the most terrifying and mysterious disasters. [All the famous experts, professors, and scientists in Japan, the United States, and other countries have dedicated their lives to the study of earthquakes! [Could it be that their research has not produced any results? [No! They¡¯ve already finished their research! [As far as I know, Professor Yamamoto from Japan has studied earthquake fluctuations a long time ago. Professor Halende from the United States and Professor Manhudons have also made huge discoveries in the direction of earthquakes¡­ [However, none of them dared to say that an earthquake would occur in a certain place in a few hours! [That was because earthquakes occur tens of thousands of meters underground. They¡¯re unfathomable! [It¡¯s just like how it¡¯s impossible for humans to predict whether they¡¯ll fall in a few hours! [It¡¯s just an emergency situation! [Even many famous foreign scientists haven¡¯t been able to do it. [But now, a student from Jiangbei University has done it? [Could he be the legendary ¡®scientific genius¡¯? [And so, filled with deep curiosity, I spent a great deal of effort in geography, physics, and other related fields to search for information on this ¡®scientific genius.¡¯ [Finally, I saw his name in the corner of the latest issue of PNAS. [In the paper ¡®The Frequency of the H Particles During Earthquakes¡¯ in PNAS, Lin Fan was the third name listed. [What does this mean? Generally speaking, he¡¯s someone who¡¯s provided a little contribution to the thesis. [However, this student from Jiangbei University, Lin Fan, thought that he could use some special means to invent an earthquake prediction device after just offering a little contribution to the thesis. He completely ignored the fact that masses would rush around and die tragically!] Chapter 138 - 138 Lin Fan, You’ve Worked Hard! 138 Lin Fan, You¡¯ve Worked Hard! The article by Sunshine Scholar was quickly noticed by Li Jing and the others. As a result, they led a large number of fake reviewers and fans to like and share the post. Li Jing herself liked the post. Instantly, the popularity soared. Lonely Frog: [This is too miserable! So many people actually died!] Author: [I saw an old man being stepped to death in the photo!] Truth: [I¡¯ve been wondering about this. There are so many big names in the United States and Germany, but none of them have invented an earthquake prediction device. How did a person in Hua Nation come out of nowhere and invent an earthquake prediction device?] Nameless Man: [We people in Hua Nation have always been doing fake things like this. When will we be able to do the truth like the US and others? How many big shots do we really have here?] Molala: [The universities here have been tainted a long time ago. I don¡¯t find it strange at all that such a situation has occurred.] Treasure: [Jing Jing and the victims are really too miserable!] ¡­ Not long after, Sunshine Scholar appeared on Weibo¡¯s hot search list. Chen Zhong looked at the rising number of views and fans, and his whole face almost burst into laughter. At this moment, his phone vibrated slightly. His American sponsor had sent him a message: [Today¡¯s article was not bad. Continue to lead the conflict. I¡¯ll give you a million yuan reward first.] Then, Chen Zhong¡¯s phone vibrated again. [Notice from Huishang Bank: 1,000,000 yuan have been deposited into your account.] Seeing this¡­ Chen Zhong was so happy that he directly jumped up. Then, he placed his hands on the keyboard and began to type quickly again, preparing to publish another article. ¡­ In the Zhou family¡¯s house in Jingbei. Zhou Guotao carefully read the information in front of him. After a while, he said, ¡°So Lin Fan invented an earthquake prediction device that can predict earthquakes five days in advance. Furthermore, it has passed the review of all the experts in the Scientific Research Institute¡­ ¡°But now, he¡¯s being attacked online by an actress and some nobodies?¡± Zhou Guotao¡¯s tone was calm. However, Zhou Shihong, who was standing at the side, understood that the old man was really angry. The reason why Zhou Guotao was able to turn the Zhou family into one of the top four families by himself was because of his own power. On one hand, it was because he was more capable than others. On the other hand, it was because he loved his country and was loyal to it! That was why Hua Nation dared to let him develop. Now, Zhou Guotao heard someone defaming scientists, especially this scientist¡­ It was Lin Fan! One had to know that Lin Fan had saved his life before! Zhou Guotao¡¯s anger was obvious. ¡°It¡¯s about time the entertainment industry is reorganized!¡± Zhou Guotao said in a low voice after a while. ¡­ Jingbei, the Qin family. After Lin Fan¡¯s grandfather¡¯s birthday, Qin Weiming brought his grandson back to Jingbei. At this moment, Qin Weiming was sitting leisurely on the armchair, shaking his body gently. At this moment, a man with a badge on his shoulder walked over with a straight back. ¡°Lil Xu, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Qin Weiming raised his eyes. ¡°Old Leader, Lin Fan has developed an earthquake prediction device that can predict earthquakes five days in advance,¡± Lil Xu said. ¡°Oh? Lin Fan is really something! He knows mathematics, has medical skills, and now he has even invented an earthquake prediction device! Good, good, good!¡± Qin Weiming¡¯s cloudy eyes lit up as he spoke, and he stood up. Obviously, he was very happy to hear this news. Back then, Qin Weiming rose up to resist because he did not want the people to suffer. He could drive away the invaders. However, natural disasters like earthquakes could not be driven away. Therefore, every time an earthquake happened, Qin Weiming would be heartbroken. Now, hearing that someone had invented an earthquake prediction device and one that could predict earthquakes five days in advance¡­ This would definitely greatly reduce the suffering of the people! How could he not be happy? Qin Weiming was happy, but he realized that Lil Xu seemed to have something to say. He could not help but ask, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Is there anything else?¡± ¡°Also, the internet is attacking Lin Fan,¡± Lil Xu said. Qin Weiming heard this and frowned. Then, Lil Xu took out a stack of documents. Qin Weiming quickly flipped through them¡­ The next moment, he slammed his palm on the armchair, and the back of the chair broke. It was obvious how angry Qin Weiming was after reading the information. ¡°Very well! An actress and some nobodies publicly slandered a scientist who¡¯s serving the country and the people? How dare they?!¡± ¡­ In the dim rental house. Chen Zhong opened the backend again and looked at the rapidly rising view count and the number of followers. He could not help but stand up and shake his butt. ¡°I¡¯m rich! I¡¯m really rich this time!¡± He laughed. At this moment, there was a dull knock on the door. ¡°Who is it?¡± Chen Zhong frowned. ¡°Express delivery!¡± ¡°Express delivery?¡± Chen Zhong muttered. ¡°I don¡¯t think I bought anything.¡± Even though he was confused, he still opened the door. Whoosh! In the next moment, a large group of officers rushed in and shouted, ¡°Squat down!¡± ¡°Hold your head!¡± Chen Zhong was so scared that he did not even have time to react. Bang! Seeing that he was not moving, an officer went over and threw him over his shoulder, directly making him fall to the ground. ¡­ Chuan City Hospital. Li Jing was lying on the hospital bed, but her face was full of smiles. With this car accident, not only did her popularity not decline, but she also increased her popularity. Li Jing could already see the scene of countless resources flying toward her in the future. At this moment, her phone, which was placed beside her pillow, rang. Li Jing looked at the caller ID, and the smile on her face widened. This was a call from the boss of the company she had signed a contract with. The boss was definitely calling to congratulate her on her rise in popularity! However, as soon as Li Jing picked up the phone, a roar came from the other side. ¡°Li Jing, what the hell did you do? ¡°Just now, the contracts for your movies, TV shows, and commercials¡­ The entire media industry has cut off all cooperation with us! ¡°My company¡¯s TV shows and movies¡­ Now, they¡¯re all rubbish! ¡°Hurry up and explain this to me!¡± Li Jing was dumbfounded and did not know how to explain. At this moment, a large group of police officers suddenly rushed in from outside the door. ¡°Li Jing, you¡¯re under arrest!¡± ¡­ At the same time, all the negative comments and insults about Lin Fan disappeared as if they had never appeared in the first place. Just as many people were feeling puzzled, the People¡¯s Daily published an article. [Congratulations to Lin Fan of Jiangbei University for inventing an earthquake prediction device that can predict earthquakes five days in advance! This research will greatly reduce the disasters caused by earthquakes and save countless lives and property. Let us sincerely say to Lin Fan, ¡®Lin Fan, you¡¯ve worked hard. Thank you!¡¯] Chapter 139 - 139 Praise from Everyone; Red Packets! 139 Praise from Everyone; Red Packets!

Thank you!] Strawberry: [Lin Fan, you¡¯ve worked hard. Thank you!] Loyalty: [Lin Fan, you¡¯ve worked hard. Thank you!] ¡­ Last Stand: [Sunlight Scholar is really scheming! He even said that there were corpses piled up in Fu City. I checked and found that the photo of the corpse was actually a screenshot from the movie ¡®War of Resistance!¡¯ If you don¡¯t believe me, you can go and take a look! The photo of the trampling is from the TV show ¡®New Nobleman,¡¯ and the photo of the traffic jam isn¡¯t from Fu City at all!] Wish: [Heavens! So this is the truth! We were all fooled by Sunlight Scholar!] Everyone For Me: [I was wondering why I didn¡¯t see any trampling or corpses when I was in Fu City.] Fragrance to Fanghua: [Sunshine Scholar? Is he worthy of being called a scholar? Sunshine? Pah!] Wang¡¯s Woman: [I¡¯ve long said that there¡¯s something wrong with Sunshine Scholar. Why is it possible for foreigners to invent it, but we Hua Nation people definitely can¡¯t? Are you so ready to worship our countries?] Amidst everyone¡¯s discussion, the authorities released evidence of Sunshine Scholar collecting fees from foreign organizations to cause conflicts. They also released the video of Li Jing crashing into an Audi after drinking at the bar that day, as well as evidence of Li Jing evading taxes. Instantly, the entire internet was in an uproar. Gift: [F*ck! I was wondering why Sunshine Scholar would publish such an article. It turns out he¡¯s a scumbag!] To Jun Moruo: [I must have been blind in the past to actually like Li Jing!] Nature: [An actress actually scammed a scientist! We can¡¯t let news of this out!] Treasure: [We need to get rid of evil from its roots!] ¡­ Amidst everyone¡¯s heated discussions, the earthquake finally arrived at 15:30 on January 2. Rumble! The entire city shook. A few old houses that had been in disrepair for a long time and were uninhabited fell to the ground with a loud bang. A ditch that was a few centimeters wide appeared on a muddy and dilapidated road. Fu City was in an earthquake! Fortunately, everyone in Fu City had received the notice and came to the open space in advance. Moreover, the magnitude of the earthquake was not high. Therefore, there were no casualties! Then, at 21:30 on January 2, a magnitude 5.1 earthquake occurred in Chuan City. At 9:20 on January 3, a magnitude 3.5 earthquake occurred in Han City. Every earthquake was predicted accurately. The earthquake prediction device was successfully developed, and it was accurate! The entire country was in an uproar! ¡­ Lin Fan had no idea about all of this. At this moment, he was lying alone in the Coiling Dragon Villa, fast asleep. He had been accompanying Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling for the past three days. Even though Lin Fan had Violent Aesthetics, which enhanced his body, three consecutive days still made him a little tired. Since it was New Year¡¯s, it was inevitable that the dormitory was a little noisy. That was why he chose to rest in the Coiling Dragon Villa. At this moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! Hidden mission completed. Everyone is praising you. You¡¯ve received five silver packets.] Hearing this, Lin Fan, who had been sleeping for a long time, opened his eyes slowly. His face was filled with confusion. ¡°Praise? What is this?¡± These days, he only cared about accompanying Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling, so he really did not know what had happened. Lin Fan rubbed his nose and muttered, ¡°Forget it, I don¡¯t care. Let¡¯s see what I can get first.¡± [Do you wish to open the five silver packets?] ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 500,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one Bugatti Veyron.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received Koenigsegg CCR1.] [Ding! Congratulations, you have received 300,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10x Enhancement Potion x3.] Lin Fan looked at the contents of the four silver packets and frowned. His face was filled with disappointment. If other people found out, who knew what kind of expression they would have? The Bugatti Veyron and Koenigsegg CCR were both supercars worth more than 20 million yuan. However, Lin Fan was disappointed? Then, Lin Fan locked his gaze on the 10x enhancement potions. [10x enhancement potion: a special potion. After drinking it, it can increase one¡¯s spirit, reaction speed, strength, and other aspects by ten times for 24 hours. It makes one stronger and faster, thus more charming.] When Lin Fan saw this, his lips curled up. This potion would make him ten times stronger immediately. This was definitely a good potion. Lin Fan slowly raised his head. In front of him were two car keys. He walked out of the window. Other than the Mercedes-Benz, there were two more super sports cars outside. However, Lin Fan had no intention of going downstairs to admire them. Instead, he slowly picked up his phone. [Do you wish to open 255 red packets?] This was mainly the red packets that he had received from helping Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling buy things on New Year¡¯s Day. ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the skill doubling card.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,99 yuan.] ¡­. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a skill level upgrade card.] ¡­ With 255 red packets, Lin Fan received a total of 352,211 yuan. Of course, money was not important. More importantly, Lin Fan had also obtained the doubling skill card and the skill level upgrade card that he had always wanted! To Lin Fan, these two items alone were worth more than five silver packets. Could this be quantity over quality? [Level: LV5] [Level 5 reward: 20 yuan for every breath; 20 yuan for every second of sleep, and 20 yuan for every step taken. Rewards are distributed at 12 a.m. daily.] [Upgrade cost: 10.05 million/50 million (not including gifts and gambling. In addition, all items obtained from the system are prohibited from being traded.] [Skills: Professional Driving Skills, Charming Aura (5% chance of triggering love at first sight, unforgettable memory), Violent Aesthetics, Drinking Gentleman, Absolute Focus (10% chance of triggering a flash of inspiration), Professor-Level Mathematics Experience, Eyes of Truth¡­ Professor-Level English, Professor-Level Chemistry Skills, Scanning] [Funds: 221 million] Lin Fan rubbed his chin and hesitated about what skill to level up. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. It was Lin Xiaoyao. ¡°Brother, I heard that Lin Fan from Jiangbei University invented an earthquake prediction device¡­ That person¡­ Could it be you?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked as soon as she picked up the call. Lin Fan was stunned, ¡°How do you know that?¡± ¡°F*ck, it¡¯s really you! Awesome!¡± Lin Xiaoyao shouted excitedly. Chapter 140 - 140 New Shop Opening; Congratulations! 140 New Shop Opening; Congratulations! After Lin Fan hung up the phone, he started to search for relevant news online. It turned out that the Earthquake Center had already released the news of the earthquake prediction device, and People¡¯s Daily had even praised him. However, Lin Fan¡¯s photo was not published online. That was why Lin Xiaoyao called to ask. Lin Fan rubbed his slightly deflated stomach and walked straight to the front of the Bugatti Veyron. He then sat on it. Boom! He did not have the time to observe the new car. He stepped on the accelerator and rushed out. Lin Fan ate some food and went straight to Jiangbei University. At this moment, a bright banner was hung in front of the gate of Jiangbei University. ¡®Congratulations to our school¡¯s Lin Fan for his invention of the earthquake prediction device!¡¯ Last time, when he solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, Lin Fan had the same experience. Therefore, he did not pay too much attention to it. Dorm 104. Zheng Jinbao was so focused on his game that he did not notice Lin Fan when he entered. Not long after, Ma Zhong walked in with a few books. When he saw Lin Fan, he could not help but say, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re back? That earthquake¡­¡± However, before he could finish, Zheng Jinbao, who was originally focused on playing the game, jumped up and said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, did you invent the earthquake prediction device?¡± Lin Fan looked at his excited expression and could not help but laugh. ¡°Other than me, who else could it be?¡± ¡°F*ck!¡± Zheng Jinbao shouted. ¡°F*ck!¡± Ma Zhong also called out. When they found out that the earthquake prediction device was invented by Lin Fan of Jiangbei University, they suspected that it was their roommate even though they did not see the photo. However, even after Lin Fan confirmed it, they were still shocked. After all, that was an earthquake prediction device! A high-tech product that no one in the world had invented. In the end, it was actually invented by their roommate! At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside. Before Song Yi arrived, his voice was heard first. ¡°What are you guys shouting about?¡± When he saw that it was Lin Fan, he shouted, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you invented the earthquake prediction device, right?¡± Then, Song Yi took a big step forward and opened his arms to embrace Lin Fan. Lin Fan quickly retreated to the side and nodded, ¡°I invented it. But don¡¯t get too excited. I don¡¯t have any special preferences.¡± ¡°Brother Lin Fan.¡± Song Yi scratched the back of his head. ¡°Can you tell us what that earthquake prediction device looks like?¡± Zheng Jinbao and Ma Zhong pricked up their ears. Obviously, they were also very interested in this. Lin Fan said, ¡°You¡¯ve all seen it.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The three of them were puzzled. ¡°A few days ago, wasn¡¯t there a black box here?¡± Lin Fan said. The three of them nodded. ¡°That¡¯s the earthquake prediction device,¡± said Lin Fan. ¡°F*ck!¡± Zheng Jinbao, Ma Zhong, and Song Yi all widened their eyes and howled loudly. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID. It was a call from his good friend from Shanwu Village, Chi Zengyi. Lin Fan and Chi Zengyi had exchanged contact information when Lin Fan went back to Shanwu Village to celebrate his grandfather¡¯s birthday. ¡°Lil Yi, did you hear about the earthquake prediction device?¡± Lin Fan asked with a smile. ¡°What earthquake prediction device?¡± Chi Zengyi asked. Lin Fan was stunned for a moment before saying, ¡°Ah¡­ It¡¯s nothing. Oh right, why did you call me today?¡± ¡°Oh, I opened a barbecue restaurant in Jiangbei today. Come and try it when you¡¯re free!¡± Chi Zengyi said. Some people would often pay attention to online news because they had free time. Some people spent all their time working hard. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Really? Then I definitely have to go over! Where¡¯s the location? Send the address to me.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Chi Zengyi said. After hanging up the call, Lin Fan chatted with his roommates for a while before heading to the place Chi Zengyi had mentioned. When Lin Fan passed by a flower shop, he bought a flower basket for the opening ceremony. When he arrived at a traffic light not far away, his phone rang again. ¡°There are so many calls today,¡± Lin Fan muttered. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re really amazing! Not only did you solve two math problems, but you also invented an earthquake prediction device! This is a divine piece of equipment!¡± It was the voice of the leader of Jiangbei City, Jiao Yang. Last time, Jiao Yang went to Jiangbei University and did not talk much with Lin Fan. However, they still exchanged contact details. Lin Fan said, ¡°That¡¯s just a small invention. Brother Jiao, you flatter me. How can this be considered a divine piece of equipment?¡± Jiao Yang immediately refused. ¡°This isn¡¯t considered a divine piece of equipment? ¡°Let¡¯s talk about the recent events first. During New Year¡¯s Day, if it weren¡¯t for your earthquake prediction device, three consecutive earthquakes would have directly or indirectly caused many injuries. Countless assets would¡¯ve been lost! ¡°Let¡¯s talk about the future. No one knows when a major earthquake will occur. The earthquake prediction device will play a role in saving countless people!¡± Jiao Yang¡¯s tone became extremely high. It was as if he was singing praise to a great savior. Savior? Perhaps, the earthquake prediction device could really be called a savior at some point in time! ¡°Also, only our country has the technology to predict earthquakes. We can use it to raise our international status!¡± Jiao Yang said. ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re Hua Nation¡¯s hero!¡± Jiao Yang¡¯s tone became more enthusiastic when he said this. If he was the one who invented the earthquake prediction device, Jiao Yang felt that his future would be bright. Unfortunately, he was not. Since that was the case, he had to befriend Lin Fan. Jiao Yang had already prepared for this. Lin Fan rubbed his nose and said, ¡°Brother Jiao, did you call to praise me?¡± ¡°I called to congratulate you! Are you free later? I¡¯m going to organize a celebration party for you with the leaders of Jiangbei! After all, you¡¯re a student of Jiangbei University, and we¡¯ve benefited from you again!¡± Jiao Yang laughed heartily. ¡°Later?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that won¡¯t do. My good friend opened a shop, and I¡¯m going over to support him.¡± Jiao Yangyan was not disappointed. On the contrary, his eyes lit up. ¡°Is that so? Anyway, it¡¯s time to get off work. Let¡¯s go and support your friend together,¡± Jiao Yang said. In fact, when Jiao Yang saw Lin Fan sitting next to Qin Weiming, he wanted to befriend him. Later on, during Lin Fan¡¯s grandfather¡¯s birthday celebration, Jiao Yang made a decision on this idea. Unfortunately, he never found a suitable opportunity. Now that Lin Fan had invented the earthquake prediction device, Jiao Yang was even more eager to befriend Lin Fan. At the same time, he found another opportunity. Jiao Yang waited until New Year¡¯s Day ended before making a call. ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°I¡¯ll send you the address later.¡± Chapter 141 - 141 Barbecue Stall; Finding Trouble! 141 Barbecue Stall; Finding Trouble! After Lin Fan arrived at the location, he looked around and finally saw a somewhat remote place. There was a barbecue shop. Chi Zengyi was standing at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant, carefully setting up a few small tables. Barbecue shop? Rather, it was a barbecue stall. Lin Fan parked the Bugatti Veyron in a public parking lot not far away. He took the flower basket and walked over. ¡°Lil Yi, congratulations on the opening of your new shop!¡± Lin Fan handed over the flower basket. ¡°Look at you!¡± Chi Zengyi scolded, ¡°Why did you bring something here?!¡± Then, he wiped the table and said, ¡°Sit, sit! I¡¯ll clean up a little more and let you have a taste of my cooking!¡± Lin Fan did not stand on ceremony and smiled. ¡°Are you going to roast it yourself? Not bad! I¡¯ve never eaten your cooking before. It seems like I¡¯m in luck today!¡± After being praised by Lin Fan, Chi Zengyi scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. At this moment, a round-faced woman with an apron around her waist slowly walked over with a plate of meat skewers. ¡°This is my girlfriend, Tang Li,¡± Chi Zengyi introduced. ¡°Li Li, this is Lin Fan from our village! He even brought a flower basket!¡± Chi Zengyi added. Hearing this, Tang Li was also very happy. She showed her white teeth and said, ¡°Thank you for coming over to support us! Sit down for a while. I¡¯ll clean up later.¡± ¡°Do you need my help?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°No need, it¡¯s just a few things,¡± Tang Li said. Lin Fan looked at Tang Li¡¯s hardworking figure and said, ¡°Zengyi, when did you find such a good girlfriend? When are you getting married?¡± ¡°She¡¯s a good person!¡± Chi Zengyi said. ¡°We plan to get married next year.¡± ¡°Alright, call me when the time comes!¡± Lin Fan said. After chatting for a while, the preparations for the barbecue stall were almost complete. As the smoke rose, the rich fragrance of meat slowly drifted over. Then, Chi Zengyi served chicken feet, pork skewers, and crispy bones to Lin Fan¡¯s table. ¡°How do they taste?¡± asked Chi Zengyi. Lin Fan gave him a thumbs-up and said, ¡°Delicious!¡± At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. It turned out to be a call from the leader of Jiangbei City, Jiao Yang. ¡°Brother Lin, I¡¯ve arrived at the place you mentioned, but I don¡¯t see any new shop,¡± Jiao Yang asked. When Lin Fan heard that, he turned around and looked toward the road. Soon, he saw several Audi cars. Hence, Lin Fan stood up and waved his hand, ¡°I¡¯m at the barbecue shop over here. You can park your car in the public parking lot in front.¡± Jiao Yang, who was sitting in the Audi, also saw Lin Fan. He was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the shop that Lin Fan mentioned would be a barbecue stall. However, Jiao Yang quickly regained his composure. No matter what shop it was, as long as he could get closer to Lin Fan, it was fine. Jiao Yang parked the car in the public parking lot. Then, he brought the captain of the investigation team, the captain of the business team, and the others to the barbecue stall with flower baskets. Immediately, the barbecue stall that was originally filled with the fragrance of meat and oil smoke was filled with the fragrance of flowers. ¡°Thank you, thank you for your support¡­¡± Tang Li thanked them profusely and put two tables together. Although Chi Zengyi had attended Lin Fan¡¯s grandfather¡¯s birthday banquet and had seen a large group of people, including Jiao Yang, he was in the middle of grilling right now. Besides, there were too many people at that time, so Chi Zengyi could not remember clearly. Therefore, he did not recognize Jiao Yang. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Brother Jiao, sit down and eat. My good friend made barbecue. It tastes good!¡± ¡°Haha!¡± Jiao Yang said, ¡°Then I¡¯m in luck!¡± Jiao Yang and the other leaders of Jiangbei sat around a small table by the roadside. It had to be said that they were indeed a group of capable people. Jiao Yang and the others had not eaten at a roadside stall for a long time. However, they did not show any disdain at all. On the contrary, they were very free and natural. From time to time, they would comment and praise some of the skewers. Jiao Yang said. ¡°The taste is indeed not bad, especially the chicken feet. They¡¯re soft and sticky, and the spiciness is moderate. It¡¯s delicious!¡± ¡°I like the pork skewers. The meat is fatty but not greasy!¡± the captain of the business team said. ¡°The crispy bones are good too!¡± Another captain laughed heartily. ¡­ If people knew that the leaders of Jiangbei City had such a high opinion of a barbecue stall, who knew what kind of expression they would have? Lin Fan smiled. ¡°If it¡¯s delicious, then eat more! In the future, take care of the business here.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°Definitely!¡± Everyone responded. Jiao Yang said, ¡°Thank you so much for Lin Fan¡¯s contribution. Let¡¯s raise our glasses to Lin Fan!¡± Jiao Yang, the captain of the investigation team, the captain of the commercial team, and the others all raised their glasses. Then, they drank it all in one go. ¡°You guys are too polite.¡± Lin Fan drank a cup of wine. Drinking and eating barbecue at the same time, the atmosphere was very harmonious. The sky gradually darkened. Some other customers came to the barbecue stall. In the beginning, Tang Li and Chi Zengyi would go over and chat with them. As time passed, they gradually got busy, and a few drops of sweat seeped out of their foreheads. However, they did not complain about being tired. Instead, their faces were filled with satisfied smiles. At this moment, four tattooed men sitting behind Jiao Yang had finished the barbecue on the table. They looked at each other, their faces revealing a hint of ferocity. The bald man among them slapped his hand and shouted, ¡°F*ck!¡± The guests around, as well as Tang Li and Chi Zengyi, who were clearing the table, were all shocked. Tang Li almost dropped the bowl and chopsticks, and Chi Zengyi almost got scalded. Tang Li quickly walked over and looked at the four people¡¯s fierce expressions. She was a little afraid and said, ¡°M-May I ask what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°I was eating barbecue here, but I lost my wallet. There¡¯s a total of 10,000 yuan in it! What do you think?¡± the bald man shouted. He lost his wallet? Moreover, there was 10,000 yuan inside? This was obviously impossible. 10,000 yuan was a huge stack of money. An ordinary wallet would not be able to fit it at all. Moreover, this was the era of digital currency. Who would carry so much cash on them? Obviously, this baldy was talking nonsense. ¡°Uh¡­¡± Tang Li said in a panic. ¡°Look carefully again. It should be nearby.¡± ¡°Look? How? You f*cking cleaned up the beer bottles beside me just a moment ago and my wallet went missing! ¡°I think you stole it! Hurry up and hand over your wallet!¡± the bald man shouted. Then, the four of them fanned out and took a big step toward Tang Li. That appearance¡­ It was as if they would fight Tang Li if she did not hand over the wallet. Tang Li was so frightened that she took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground. Chapter 142 - 142 Brother Hao, Its This Old Guy! 142 Brother Hao, It¡¯s This Old Guy! Chi Zengyi, who was standing not far away, ran over. He was also very afraid as well. However, Chi Zengyi still shielded Tang Li behind him. ¡°Dear customers, there must be some misunderstanding here. We¡¯re all honest people. We definitely didn¡¯t steal your wallet¡­¡± After a pause, he said, ¡°Do you want to look for it again? Perhaps it was lost somewhere else. ¡°Also, all your expenses today will be on the house. What do you think?¡± Chi Zengyi knew that these people were not to be trifled with, so he chose to give in. However, the bald man¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°You stole my wallet! Do you think you can get away with it just because you offer us a free meal?!¡± he shouted. ¡°What do you take me for? ¡°Hurry up and hand over the wallet! ¡°Otherwise¡­ Hmph!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the bald man pushed Chi Zengyi away. Chi Zengyi took a few steps back and fell on the table not far away. Seeing this¡­ The people who were eating the food around them were afraid that they would be implicated and left one after another. Jiao Yang¡¯s face darkened. How could he not understand that the bald man did not lose his wallet? The bald man was just looking for trouble on purpose. His goal was only to get 10,000 yuan! It was not easy for him to meet Lin Fan today and eat at his friend¡¯s barbecue stall. In the end, a vicious incident occurred. Where would he put his face as a leader? ¡°You said you lost your wallet?¡± Jiao Yang stood up slowly and said coldly. ¡°Good! Then tell me, what color is the wallet? Other than 10,000 yuan, what else is there?¡± In fact, it was just as Jiao Yang had expected. The bald man and the others only wanted 10,000 yuan. The bald man did not expect someone to stand up for his victims and shouted, ¡°Damn it! I lost my wallet, and it¡¯s none of your damn business! Did you eat too much sh*t?¡± Jiao Yang¡¯s face turned even uglier. He said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m the leader of Jiangbei. I can interfere with anything that happens in Jiangbei! Also, watch your mouth!¡± Not only were the bald man and the others not frightened, but they also seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. ¡°You¡¯re the leader of Jiangbei? I¡¯m the leader of the country! Go to hell!¡± The bald man sneered and punched Jiao Yang in the face. Bang! Two streams of blood flowed down Jiao Yang¡¯s nostrils. The pain made his eyes wet. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Leader!¡± ¡°Leader, are you okay?¡± The captain of the organization team, the captain of the business team, and the others shouted in shock. Jiang Bei¡¯s leader had been beaten up! ¡°Presumptuous!¡± the captain of the investigation team shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, he punched, kicked, threw, and grabbed the bald man and another short man easily. It had to be said that a person who could become the captain of the investigation team did have a certain level of skill. The remaining two thugs saw that the captain was very skilled and that there were several people in his group. The two of them knew that they were no match for him, so they took two steps back. The bald man lay on the ground, enduring the pain as he dialed his phone and said, ¡°Brother Hao, we were beaten up at the newly opened barbecue stall on the east side of Luo Street¡­¡± The captain of the investigation team used another grappling move and pressed the bald man to the ground. Jiao Yang had stopped bleeding. ¡°You¡¯re making a call? Alright, I want to see how many people I can catch today!¡± When the captain heard this, he quickly took out his phone and said, ¡°Team One, Team Two, Team Three¡­ bring your weapons and head to the east side of Luo Street as fast as you can! Hurry!¡± When the bald man and the others heard this, they suddenly felt a strong sense of unease. Not long after, nearly 30 men with steel pipes and machetes with hair dyed various colors and earrings gathered in the distance. When the bald man and the others saw these people, their worries instantly disappeared. A man with a long beard and long back hair who walked in front shouted, ¡°I want to see just which blind guy dares to hit my people!¡± The bald man and the others pointed at the captain and shouted wantonly. ¡°Hello, Brother Hao!¡± ¡°Brother Hao, it¡¯s this guy!¡± ¡°Hello, Brother Hao!¡± The man with the slick hair looked in the direction they were pointing at, and his half-narrowed eyes instantly widened. The bald man and the others were only small figures at the bottom of the hierarchy. How could they know the captain of the investigation team? However, the man with the slick hair had seen the world. With just a glance, he recognized the other party¡¯s identity. The man with slick hair quickened his pace and arrived in front of the captain. The bald man thought that Brother Hao was going to teach him a lesson. Therefore, he arrogantly shouted at the captain, ¡°Old man, weren¡¯t you very arrogant just now? Continue!¡± Old man? Insulting the captain of the investigation team in public? He¡­ How dare he? The man with the slick hair was terrified. He slapped the bald man¡¯s face. Then, he said in a terrified tone, ¡°Captain Deng, I¡¯m sorry. The people below me don¡¯t know you and accidentally bumped into you¡­¡± Captain Deng? Deng Jihu! The captain of Jiangbei City¡¯s investigation team! At this moment, the bald man also reacted. If he was the captain of the investigation team, then what about the person he had beaten up? When the bald man thought of this, a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. ¡°They bumped into me?¡± Deng Jihu said coldly. ¡°They beat up the leader of Jiangbei City in public!¡± ¡°What?¡± The man with the slick hair cried out in fear. At the same time, he quickly looked to the side. He saw¡­ A man who looked refined but had the aura of a superior was standing at the side with his nose bleeding. He¡­ Was he not the leader of Jiangbei City, Jiao Yang? Whoosh! His subordinates actually made Jiao Yang bleed from his nose? This¡­ This¡­ The man with the slick hair only felt the world spin and the surrounding air seemed to have been sucked dry. His face was pale. ¡°Motherf*cker!¡± The man with the slick hair shouted angrily and kicked the bald man to the ground. ¡°Ah!¡± At this moment, one, two, three¡­ A large row of police cars sped over like lightning. Following that, they moved in unison and surrounded the man with the slick hair and the others with weapons in their hands. The subordinates of the man with the slick hair seemed to have been greatly frightened. They fell to the ground one after another, hugging their heads and squatting down, not daring to make any unnecessary movements. ¡°Take them all away!¡± Deng Jihu shouted. Jiao Yang wiped the blood off his nose and said, ¡°Brother Lin, I¡¯m sorry for making a fool of myself.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°There¡¯s trash everywhere¡­ You should go to the hospital for treatment first.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll find another chance to celebrate with you next time.¡± Jiao Yang nodded. After the police cars made a series of hurried sounds, the entire street became empty again. Chapter 143 - 143 Personal Problem; Car Show! 143 Personal Problem; Car Show! The next day, the sky was clear and the breeze was blowing. It was very comfortable. Lin Fan walked on the winding green path, facing the rising sun as he walked forward slowly. When he turned at an intersection, he happened to meet counselor Sun Yaodong, whose face was flushed. ¡°Lin Fan, hahaha!¡± Sun Yaodong put his hand on Lin Fan¡¯s shoulder like a good brother. ¡°Don¡¯t I have good taste? I already knew that you were outstanding. As expected, you¡¯ve brought glory to the class again! You even came up with technology like an earthquake prediction device! ¡°Not bad! Not bad! Haha!¡± Good taste, outstanding ability, bringing glory to the class¡­ Lin Fan was already used to Counselor Sun¡¯s way of praising people. ¡°You¡¯re considered successful in your career now. It¡¯s time to consider your personal problems. Do you like any girls? If you do, you must chase after her boldly! ¡°Although Song Jiaxin from our class has a cold temperament, she¡¯s still very good-looking. There are also a few good-looking girls in the art school¡­ ¡°Unfortunately, my daughter has just started elementary school. If she were older, she would be quite suitable.¡± Lin Fan almost choked. Song Jiaxin, art school¡­ ¡®Counselor¡­ did you really bring up your daughter who¡¯s still in elementary school?¡¯ The two of them chatted as they walked and soon arrived at the classroom. At this moment, the students in the classroom were enthusiastically discussing New Year¡¯s Day. When they noticed Lin Fan walk in, everyone looked toward the door and started discussing. ¡°Look, Lin Fan is here!¡± ¡°It¡¯s Lin Fan from our class. Did he develop the earthquake prediction device?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­¡± At this time, Sun Yaodong walked to the podium. He cleared his throat and said, ¡°Let¡¯s give a round of warm applause to congratulate Lin Fan on his invention of the earthquake prediction device. It¡¯s the first in the entire world!¡± The entire hall was immediately filled with warm applause! Everyone looked at Lin Fan with admiration. After Sun Yaodong left, Zheng Jinbao could not help but ask, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you invented the earthquake prediction device. Did Counselor Sun say what kind of reward the school is going to give you?¡± Song Yi and Ma Zhong looked at him curiously. ¡°Mr. Sun is going to introduce his daughter to me to be my girlfriend,¡± Lin Fan said with a smile. ¡°Does that count?¡± The three roommates were speechless. ¡­ Four days passed in the blink of an eye. For the past few days, The red packets he received at 12 PM were all cash. His daily life consisted of eating and sleeping. It was plain, relaxed, and comfortable. Ma Zhong was reading a book in the dormitory. Zheng Jinbao was staring at his computer and letting out a wretched laugh from time to time. Lin Fan was casually scrolling through his phone. At this moment, Song Yi walked in quickly and said, ¡°I got a few tickets for the auto show! ¡°This auto show has the latest models of BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz¡­ Ferrari, Porsche, and other super luxury cars! ¡°Hehe! My cousin works in Ferrari sales. She can arrange for us to experience driving a Ferrari! Brother, how about it? Do you want to go shopping together?¡± The more Song Yi spoke, the more excited he became. His face was full of smiles. Zheng Jinbao¡¯s eyes lit up slightly. He said, ¡°Of course, I have to go!¡± ¡°Brother Lin Fan, are you going?¡± Song Yi asked again. Lin Fan was about to say something. A crisp notification suddenly sounded in his mind. [Ding! Mission: toss a thousand gold bars. Spend more than ten million on cars and you¡¯ll be rewarded with one special skill.] ¡°I¡¯ll go too!¡± Lin Fan nodded. Ma Zhong put down his book and said hesitantly, ¡°I¡­¡± Song Yi did not give Ma Zhong a chance to answer. He grabbed his shoulder and said, ¡°Those long-legged beautiful women will be in the car show too!¡± Gulp! Ma Zhong could not help but gulp, and his breathing became a little heavy. Then, the four of them rode in the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and headed toward the auto show. This year¡¯s auto show was located in the exhibition center. This place was already bustling, and with the addition of the grand auto show, it was even more lively. The crowd surged, and discussions continued. Zheng Jinbao took a flyer and was fascinated by it. Ma Zhong leaned his head over, and his eyes immediately widened as he said, ¡°More than 1.9 million?!¡± Song Yi looked over and said casually, ¡°The new A8 has a hybrid gasoline-electric system and a 4.0T V8 engine. It¡¯s not bad!¡± ¡°But when you see the Ferrari in my sister¡¯s exhibition later, you¡¯ll think it¡¯s nothing.¡± At this point, Song Yi¡¯s eyes became fiery as if he was about to own a Ferrari. The man with the Ferrari badge on his neck glanced at Ma Zhong and the others with contempt. About five minutes later, Lin Fan and the others slowly walked into the auto show venue. There were more people inside than outside. In front of them were some of the more common car exhibitions, such as Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Volkswagen, and so on. Many people walked up to the booth to test drive, inquire about prices, or take photos¡­ It was very lively. The only thing that was different from what they had imagined was that there were no beautiful car models. There were only cars and salespeople. Even so, everyone was still very enthusiastic. Lin Fan and the others walked and looked around. Song Yi would occasionally comment on the cars. ¡°The quality of Toyota cars is indeed good, but the appearance is just so-so.¡± ¡°The new BMW this time is not bad¡­¡± ¡°The new Mercedes-Benz doesn¡¯t seem to be very good¡­¡± ¡­ At this moment, a cool Ferrari exhibition not far away gradually appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s line of sight. At this moment, there were only two young women in uniforms manning the station. ¡°That¡¯s the booth of my cousin¡¯s shop!¡± Song Yi said excitedly. As he spoke, Song Yi waved at the taller woman and called out, ¡°Cousin!¡± Song Lu¡¯s appearance was a little immature, and she even had a hint of a student¡¯s aura. Obviously, she had just started working. When Song Lu saw Song Yi, she was also very happy and said, ¡°Lil Yi!¡± ¡°Cousin, these are my roommates!¡± Song Yi said. ¡°Hello!¡± Zheng Jinbao, Ma Zhong, and Lin Fan shouted. ¡°Welcome!¡± Song Lu smiled and said, ¡°Are you guys tired from browsing? Drink some water first.¡± As she spoke, Song Lu handed over four bottles of mineral water with a Ferrari logo. Song Yi opened a bottle of water. Then, his eyes swept across the cool sports cars on the display booth. ¡°Cousin, can we go and experience it?¡± Song Yi asked. ¡°Of course, but remember not to scratch the paint,¡± Song Lu reminded. Chapter 144 - 144 High-Grade Water; Its Ruined! 144 High-Grade Water; It¡¯s Ruined! There were three classic fiery red supercars in Ferrari¡¯s exhibition. In this regard, Zheng Jinbao and Song Yi simply did not have any power to resist. It was as if their entire hearts were completely ignited by the scorching red color. A cool car body, oversized wheels, and black exhaust holes¡­ ¡°Come and take a few photos for me.¡± ¡°Close the distance a little¡­¡± Song Yi and Zheng Jinbao went to the front of the car, to the side of the car, to the back of the car, and inside the car¡­ They kept fiddling with the car, their faces filled with excitement. Lin Fan was much calmer. It was because he already owned several super sports cars. However, Lin Fan still had a special feeling about the Ferrari. After all, a Ferrari was the dream of every boy! ¡°How much are these three cars?¡± asked Lin Fan. At this moment, there were no customers at the exhibition. Therefore, Song Lu thought of reviewing the cars¡¯ information and introduced the cars to him, ¡°The one on the left is a Ferrari 488. It¡¯s 3.9T, V8, and has 720 horsepower¡­ The selling price is 4.4 million. ¡°The one in the middle is a Ferrari 812. 6.5L, V12, and 800 horsepower¡­ The selling price is 5.3 million. ¡°The one on the right is a Ferrari F8. 3.9T, V8, and has 720 horsepower¡­ The selling price is 3.5 million.¡± At this moment, a series of dull footsteps came from not far away. A man in a white shirt and a woman with an LV bag and a big diamond ring walked over slowly. The man in the shirt said, ¡°This is Ferrari¡¯s latest model, the 488. It has a fashionable appearance and luxurious interior. The price is 4,400,000. It¡¯s most suitable for a successful beauty like you.¡± The noblewoman walked forward as if she wanted to experience it. However, she realized that Zheng Jinbao and Song Yi, who were wearing ordinary clothes, were touching all the things in the car¡­ Instantly, the lady¡¯s face, which was covered in makeup, scrunched up into a ball. She said, ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything good about this car.¡± After saying that, she turned around and left. ¡°Ms. Xue, Ms. Xue¡­¡± the man in the shirt hurriedly called out. However, the noblewoman did not respond at all. When the man in the shirt saw this, he coldly glanced at Zheng Jinbao, Song Yi, and the others who were still posing and taking photos. They were holding Ferrari mineral water in their hands. His face was filled with anger. Then, he took two steps forward and waved his hand in the distance.¡±Song Lu, Leng Yueqin, come here!¡± Song Lu and the other salesperson ran over. ¡°Hello, Supervisor Zhang,¡± the two of them greeted him in a very respectful tone. They were polite to Supervisor Zhang, but Supervisor Zhang did not give them a good look. On the contrary, Supervisor Zhang¡¯s expression turned stiff as he berated, ¡°Ferrari is a world-famous super sports car brand! The reason why we paid such a huge price to display our cars here is¡­ serve and attract more high-quality customers! ¡°You¡¯re using your identity as a salesperson to distribute the company¡¯s premium drinking water at will or even allow people to take photos and rub against the Ferrari randomly. What if the cars get dirty¡­ ¡°What if the paint is damaged? What should we do then? ¡°Some people want to become full-time employees as soon as possible. If you¡¯re like this, don¡¯t even think about becoming a permanent employee of Ferrari for the rest of your life!¡± Supervisor Zhang had a good memory. He recognized Song Yi and the others at a glance. Song Lu¡¯s pretty face flushed red. She understood that Supervisor Zhang was talking about her and felt a little wronged. Supervisor Zhang was right. The company had indeed spent a lot of money on the exhibition. However, the company had prepared a lot of so-called high-grade drinking water. Yesterday, everyone who visited the booth was given a bottle. After all, this was also a good opportunity to advertise. She just gave a bottle to her cousin and his friends today, but it was such a big deal? As for¡­ Randomly taking pictures and touching the cars¡­ Was an auto show not for people to take photos and try the cars out? Although Song Lu felt wronged, she still said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Supervisor Zhang¡­¡± Supervisor Zhang¡¯s voice was very loud. Lin Fan, Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and Ma Zhong heard everything. Lin Fan frowned slightly, his expression turning ugly. At this moment, footsteps could be heard from afar. A middle-aged man in a black suit and a young man in a gray T-shirt strolled over. The two of them chatted and laughed. The young man in the gray T-shirt had a relaxed expression on his face, while the middle-aged man in the black suit had a fawning expression on his face. When Supervisor Zhang saw the two of them, he changed his previous sternness and stuck close to them like a pug. He said, ¡°Manager Wang, Young Master Tan, hello.¡± ¡°How¡¯s the situation today?¡± Manager Wang asked casually. ¡°Many people came to visit our exhibition. There were also many internet celebrities who came to do a live broadcast just now¡­ Our exhibition is very popular!¡± Supervisor Zhang hurriedly said. Manager Wang nodded and did not say anything else. Tan Shengyu, who was beside him, swept his gaze across the exhibition. In the next moment, his eyes lit up slightly. He quickly walked up and said happily, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here!¡± Lin Fan thought for a moment and quickly remembered that he had seen him when he was racing on the mountain road. Later on, he also came to Song Jiaxin¡¯s birthday. However, he had never spoken much to him, so he was not familiar with him. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Yeah.¡± In contrast to Lin Fan¡¯s unfamiliarity, Tan Shengyu was filled with admiration for Lin Fan. He had excellent racing skills, and his chess skills were equally extraordinary! Even the big shots Sun Luguo and Liu Yuhang, as well as Song Jiaxin, were very polite to Lin Fan. Manager Wang, who was behind Lin Fan, walked up to him. He sized Lin Fan up and asked carefully, ¡°Young Master Tan, this is¡­¡± ¡°Oh, Manager Wang, this is Brother Lin Fan! He¡¯s an expert at racing! His drifting technique is so fast! Young Master Sun and Young Master Liu are no match for Brother Lin Fan!¡± Tan Shengyu said. Tan Shengyu did not mention Sun Luguo¡¯s and Liu Yuhang¡¯s names. However, Manager Wang had already guessed their identities. ¡°Young Master Sun¡¯s and Young Master Liu¡¯s driving skills are both outstanding!¡± Manager Wang praised. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Brother Lin Fan to be so powerful! It¡¯s really amazing! ¡°Could it be that Brother Lin Fan is a professional racer?¡± Manager Wang asked carefully. He was trying to find out Lin Fan¡¯s identity. However, Tan Shengyu did not seem to notice it. ¡°How can a professional racer be inferior to Brother Fan?¡± he asked seriously. Then, Tan Shengyu asked, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, are you interested in getting a Ferrari? This is Manager Wang, the general agent of Ferrari in Jiangbei. He has a way to get you any Ferrari model! ¡°By the way, Manager Wang helped Sister Jiaxin with her SP90.¡± Lin Fan said calmly, ¡°I was a little interested. However, Supervisor Zhang said that I drank his premium water and is worried that I¡¯ll damage the Ferrari. How could I be interested in such an expensive Ferrari?¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Tan Shengyu raised his brows and looked in the direction that Lin Fan was pointing at. His face turned cold. Chapter 145 - 145 Apologize; Reward! 145 Apologize; Reward! Tan Shengyu was not a fool. On the contrary, he was smarter than the average person, and he was better at analyzing and observing. Even though Tan Shengyu had only met Lin Fan twice, he had a deep impression of Lin Fan. On one hand, it was because Lin Fan¡¯s racing skills were good. On the other hand, it was because Song Jiaxin, Liu Zhenyu, and Sun Luguo were very close to Lin Fan. Song Jiaxin was a famous figure in the circle, and few people caught her eye. Liu Zhenyu was famous for his fiery temper. He often quarreled with Sun Luguo. However, he treated Lin Fan very well. Sun Luguo always had the appearance of a polite gentleman. He had a peaceful relationship with everyone, but he always maintained a sense of distance. However, Sun Luguo often tried to get closer to Lin Fan. All of this meant that Lin Fan was worth befriending. Today, he finally had a chance. Naturally, Tan Shengyu did not want to miss it. He did not expect a small supervisor to say that Lin Fan drank high-grade water and would ruin the Ferrari? This was simply¡­ He was a bastard! ¡°So a Ferrari is that expensive?¡± Tan Shengyu asked coldly. ¡°It seems like¡­ I should tell Sister Jiaxin, Young Master Sun, Young Master Liu, and the others not to get Ferraris in the future.¡± Manager Wang, who was next to him, was shocked and quickly said, ¡°Young Master Tan, Brother Lin Fan, there must be a misunderstanding here. I¡¯ll get Zhang Haobin to come over and apologize.¡± Ferrari was an expensive supercar brand. Ordinary people could not afford it at all. They would choose an economical family car. Successful businessmen would not buy them either. They would rather take a commercial car that was mature and steady! The main buyers of Ferraris were rich young masters like Tan Shengyu who loved supercars. If these rich young masters did not buy Ferraris¡­ Then, Manager Wang¡¯s shop would not be far from closing down. Thinking of this, Manager Wang quickly turned around and waved while shouting, ¡°Zhang Haobin, how exactly are you managing the service? Hurry up and apologize to Brother Lin Fan!¡± In fact, when Zhang Haobin saw Tan Shengyu and Lin Fan chatting casually, he was already shocked. At this moment, he did not dare to hesitate when he heard Manager Wang call him. He quickly ran up and said in a panic, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, didn¡¯t I just say that you¡­¡± ¡°Weren¡¯t you talking about my friend? Furthermore, you were prepared to make my friend¡¯s cousin unable to become a full-time employee, no?¡± Lin Fan said calmly. Lin Fan did not like to bully people, but he hated being bullied even more. Since the other party had done it, he had to pay the price! Zhang Haobin¡¯s entire body was trembling, and his forehead was covered in sweat. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain something. However, there was no explanation at all. ¡°I¡¯m also Brother Lin Fan¡¯s friend,¡± Tan Shengyu said. ¡°In that case, I can¡¯t get too close to the Ferrari¡­ After all, I really don¡¯t know what to do if it¡¯s ruined.¡± Manager Wang was extremely anxious. He understood that he had to satisfy Lin Fan and Tan Shengyu today. Otherwise, it would be troublesome in the future. ¡°Zhang Haobin!¡± Manager Wang shouted, ¡°Is this how you do things behind my back?! Bastard! ¡°From now on, you¡¯re no longer an employee of Jiangbei Ferrari!¡± He was fired! Zhang Haobin¡¯s face instantly turned pale. As the Ferrari was a supercar brand, there were very few customers every day, and the work was very leisurely. However, the treatment was not bad at all. Zhang Haobin often used to brag about his work in front of his relatives and friends. Now¡­ he could not do it anymore? It would be fine if he resigned. However, he was fired! These were two completely different natures! It could be said that Zhang Haobin could no longer stay in the luxury car industry in the future. ¡°M-Manager Wang, please give me another chance¡­ ¡°Brother Lin Fan, Young Master Tan¡­ Please¡­¡± Zhang Haobin begged, but it was useless. Then, he ran to Song Lu and said, ¡°Song Lu, it was my fault just now. Please spare me this once¡­ If I get fired, I really won¡¯t be able to live in the future¡­¡± Song Lu saw how pitiful he was, and her heart softened. She said, ¡°L-Lin Fan, he already knows his mistake. Why don¡¯t we just forget about it?¡± Lin Fan, who had been ignoring Zhang Haobin, finally raised his eyes and said, ¡°Since you¡¯ve pleaded for leniency, then this matter is over. But I hope you can remember this, Mr. Zhang. ¡°I don¡¯t want similar things to happen again¡­ Otherwise¡­ I¡¯m afraid things won¡¯t be resolved so easily.¡± When Zhang Haobin heard this, he was ecstatic and said, ¡°Thank you, thank you! I promise that this will never happen again.¡± The atmosphere immediately eased up. ¡°Sister Song Lu, I don¡¯t think anyone has ordered these three Ferraris, right?¡± asked Lin Fan. ¡°Yes, no one has booked them yet,¡± Song Lu said. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll buy these three cars,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Huh?¡± Song Lu was stunned. Lin Fan continued, ¡°The Ferrari 488 is 4.4 million, the Ferrari 812 is 5.3 million, and the Ferrari F8 is 3.5 million. That¡¯s a total of 13.2 million. I¡¯ll pay by card.¡± After saying that, Lin Fan took out a bank card. ¡°Ah¡­¡± He was buying a sports car¡­ Furthermore, he was buying three of them at once? Song Lu had never seen such a scene before. She was completely at a loss. Manager Wang was the first to react. He was also shocked by Lin Fan¡¯s actions. He casually bought three Ferraris! Even the young masters of ordinary rich families did not have such a large amount of money. No wonder Tan Shengyu was so polite to Lin Fan. It was not just because Lin Fan¡¯s driving skills were good! Lin Fan¡¯s identity was probably just as impressive! Manager Wang quickly said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan is buying cars from us because he thinks highly of us. Brother Lin Fan, you just have to pay 13 million, and we¡¯ll give you the accessories free of charge too.¡± When buying a Ferrari, many accessories needed to be matched. Now, they were given away for free, and there was a discount of 200,000 yuan. It was indeed very rare. Lin Fan nodded his head nonchalantly. Beep! After a soft sound came from the machine, 13 million yuan was successfully swiped. At the same time, a crisp voice rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! Do you want to use the 10x spending rebate card?] ¡®Yes!¡¯ Lin Fan thought to himself. Then, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 130,000,000 yuan has been deposited into your account.] At this point, Lin Fan¡¯s liquid funds had reached 350 million yuan! At the same time, 1,300 unclaimed red packets appeared on his phone. [Ding! Mission completed: toss a thousand gold bars. You¡¯re rewarded with Expert-Level Painting Skills for spending more than ten million on cars.] [Expert-Level Painting Skills: excellent painting ability. Your paintings are realistic, elegant, and charming.] Expert-Level Painting Skills? It was a pretty good ability. He bought three Ferraris, spent 13 million, and earned 130 million. After that, he obtained Expert-Level Painting Skills and 1,300 red packets! Lin Fan nodded his head slightly. He was pretty satisfied with this trip. Chapter 146 - 146 This Isnt Too Good; My Luck Is Great! 146 This Isn¡¯t Too Good; My Luck Is Great! Tan Shengyu was the son of a wealthy family. However, even he could not help but give Lin Fan a thumbs up when he saw Lin Fan buying three Ferraris in one go. ¡°As expected of Brother Lin Fan. He¡¯s too generous!¡± Then, he looked at Vacheron Constantin on his wrist and said, ¡°It¡¯s almost time for dinner. Brother Lin Fan, it¡¯s rare to meet you today. I know a good club nearby. How about we have a meal and relax?¡± Tan Shengyu had helped Lin Fan out. Furthermore, Lin Fan was a little hungry, so it was not a big deal to have a meal together. Hence, Lin Fan nodded his head and said, ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Brother Lin Fan, Young Master Tan, can I go with you?¡± Manager Wang asked carefully. Tan Shengyu did not reply. Instead, he looked at Lin Fan. Clearly, he was letting Lin Fan decide. Lin Fan nodded his head nonchalantly and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go together.¡± After all, Zhang Haobin¡¯s matter had already passed, and Manager Wang had handled it well. There was no need to keep brooding over it. ¡°Alright, thank you, Brother Lin Fan. Thank you, Young Master Tan!¡± Manager Wang said happily. Then, Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and took Song Yi, Ma Zhong, Zheng Jinbao, and Song Lu out. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, thank you!¡± Song Yi said seriously. Lin Fan understood that he was thanking him for helping Song Lu teach Supervisor Zhang a lesson. ¡°This is just a small matter. There¡¯s no need to thank me.¡± Lin Fan waved his hand. Ma Zhong whispered, ¡°Jinbao, Young Master Tan said we¡¯re going to the clubhouse. This¡­ Isn¡¯t that bad?¡± After saying that, he could not help but squirm. Zheng Jinbao chuckled. ¡°Oh, I almost forgot that you¡¯re still a little boy¡­ However, little boys have to grow up.¡± When Ma Zhong heard this, he squirmed even more violently, his face filled with a conflicted expression. At this moment, Song Lu, who had been in a daze, said, ¡°L-Lin Fan, isn¡¯t it too much for you to buy three Ferraris at once? Why don¡¯t I think of a way to get Manager Wang to refund you two cars?¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°It¡¯s fine. They were cheap, so I bought a few more. I¡¯ll drive them.¡± Song Lu was speechless. Song Yi was speechless. Zheng Jinbao was speechless. Ma Zhong was speechless. Everyone was speechless. How could he call a Ferrari that cost a few million a cheap car? What about Toyota and Volkswagen? Were they toy cars? ¡­ Not long after, everyone arrived at AC Clubhouse. Two tall beauties bent down and said in a sweet voice, ¡°Welcome to AC Clubhouse.¡± AC Clubhouse was five stories high and looked extremely empty. There were also diamond chandeliers¡­ It was full of luxuries. Then, the group arrived at the private room that they had booked earlier. Australian lobster, golden pigeon, first-grade plum ginseng, crystal egg yolk roll¡­ Many delicacies were neatly placed on the table. Manager Wang opened a bottle of Feitian Moutai and poured a large glass. He said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, thank you for letting me have a meal with you. Here¡¯s a toast.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he drank the contents of the glass in one gulp. The atmosphere in the private room became even more lively after the glass of wine was drunk. Everyone enjoyed the meal. Then, under the service staff¡¯s guidance, everyone took a shower and changed into bathrobes. Ma Zhong was in the bathroom, squirming and saying, ¡°Jinbao, we¡­ Isn¡¯t this bad?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this?¡± Zheng Jinbao laughed. ¡°In a while, you¡¯ll be so happy that you¡¯ll cry out!¡± After saying that, he took the lead and walked out. Ma Zhong gritted his teeth and followed him out. In the next moment, a dozen beautiful women dressed in traditional clothing appeared in front of them. ¡°Greetings, Young Master,¡± they bowed slightly and said in unison. Zheng Jinbao and the others could not help but swallow their saliva. They lay down under the arrangement of the beautiful women. As the melodious music that sounded like spring water rang out, wisps of white fog immediately filled the surroundings, making them feel as if they were in paradise. Two beautiful women bent over and gently massaged their hands and feet. There was nothing better than this. In the blink of an eye, the sky turned dark. Only then did everyone walk out of AC Clubhouse in a relaxed manner. [Ding! Hidden mission completed: enjoy life. Reward: one silver packet.] Lin Fan¡¯s face revealed a strange look. Was he so lucky today? He actually completed two missions in a row. Luck? Thinking of this, Lin Fan sent Zheng Jinbao and the others to Jiangbei University and went straight to Coiling Dragon Villa. He wanted to use his luck to see what he could get from the red packet today. [Do you wish to open one silver packet?] ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one yuan critical hit card.] [One yuan critical hit card. After spending one yuan, you¡¯ll receive a reward of 100 million yuan.] 100 million yuan reward with one yuan? It directly increased by 100 million times! When Lin Fan saw this, his lips curled up. Then, his gaze fell on the phone screen. [Do you wish to open 1,300 red packets?] ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 500 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 5% of LV shares.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained one Baijia Building.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Professional Cello Skills. Play the cello with ease and show off your extraordinary charm.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a McDonnell Douglas MD902 private jet.] .. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 100% Hidden Weapon Skill. Within a hundred meters, you¡¯ll have perfect accuracy in everything you throw. You¡¯ll make people¡¯s eyes light up.] ¡­ From the 1,300 red packets, Lin Fan received a total of 830,111 yuan. The MD902 private jet was worth about 50 million yuan. The Baijia Building was an office building in the center of Jiangbei City. It was worth more than one billion yuan. LV was a luxury brand with a market value of more than trillions. 5% of the shares were worth nearly 50 billion! In other words, Lin Fan earned more than 50 billion from these 1,300 red packets! In addition, he also obtained two skills! It was definitely a great harvest! Today¡¯s luck was indeed very good! Even Lin Fan could not help but smile. Chapter 147 - 147 Research and Development Grand Prize; Ten Million! 147 Research and Development Grand Prize; Ten Million! The next day, the sky was clear. It was rare for Lin Fan to lie alone on the spacious bed. He¡­ He finally opened his eyes. Lin Fan casually looked at his phone. At this moment, as usual, a text message appeared on the screen. ¡°Notice from Merchant Bank: 1,720,000 yuan has been deposited into your account.] Regarding this¡­ Lin Fan did not care at all. He went through his phone again, got up, washed up, and headed outside. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a cool-looking aircraft. Lin Fan stopped and looked around for a while. Then, he drove the Koenigsegg CCR to a restaurant not far away and ordered the dumplings, sea cucumber udon noodles, and bird¡¯s nest porridge¡­It cost 900 yuan. He had a relatively simple breakfast. After Lin Fan walked out of the restaurant, he bought a pack of tissues from the supermarket. [You¡¯ve spent one yuan. Do you want to use the one yuan critical hit card?] ¡°Yes.¡± Not long after, his phone vibrated slightly. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 100,000,000 yuan has been deposited into your account.] Having earned so much early in the morning, Lin Fan couldn¡¯t help but smile. At this point, his cash flow had reached 450 million! ¡­ Jiangbei University. It was Teacher Tiantian¡¯s class this morning. The entire classroom was packed with people early in the morning. Luckily, Song Yi and the others helped Lin Fan reserve a seat. It was as if time would automatically accelerate during Teacher Tiantian¡¯s class. After a while, the bell rang. Under the reluctant gazes of the students, Teacher Tiantian put down the chalk and said, ¡°Class dismissed. ¡°Lin Fan, come here for a moment.¡± Therefore, other than reluctance, there was also a hint of jealousy in the eyes of the students. Outside the corridor. Lin Fan chuckled. ¡°Do you want to go to the office to discuss the questions?¡± Hu Tian seemed to have thought of something. Her pretty face blushed slightly as she said, ¡°Dean Hu wants you to go to his office.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Lin Fan replied casually. ¡°Come to my house tonight to discuss the topic,¡± Hu Tian whispered again. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Alright! ¡± At this moment, in the dean¡¯s office. Hu Chuan was drinking tea leisurely, his face glowing. ¡°Creak!¡± When the door opened, Hu Chuan quickly stood up. ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re here? Sit, sit! Would you like some tea? This is Da Hong Pao from Wuyi Mountain. Try it and see how it tastes.¡± Lin Fan picked up the teacup and slowly poured it into his mouth. It tasted sweet and had an endless aftertaste. It was indeed a good tea. ¡°Director Hu, why did you call me here?¡± Lin Fan asked. Hu Chuan explained, ¡°Oh, the earthquake prediction device you invented won a national research and development award as well as a ten million yuan bonus. ¡°Sign here. The bonus should be transferred to your account in the next two days.¡± As Hu Chuan spoke, he handed over the certificate and documents. A ten million yuan bonus was definitely extremely rare. Under normal circumstances, the school and the officials would definitely report and publicize it. However, the school and the officials knew that Lin Fan did not like being interviewed. Therefore, this step was omitted. ¡°Oh.¡± Lin Fan replied calmly, ¡°Just sign it, right?¡± Hu Chuan was stunned. This was a national research and development award and a ten million yuan bonus! Needless to say, the national research and development award was a great honor! If an ordinary person were to get that much money, they would definitely be ecstatic. However, Lin Fan was actually so calm? What Hu Chuan did not know was that Lin Fan could earn more than a million yuan every day. As for ten million¡­ He could get it in a few days. Moreover, he had just earned 100 million yuan after spending one yuan on a pack of tissues in the morning. Now that he had received another ten million, there was indeed no need to be too happy. After a while, Hu Chuan slowly came back to his senses and praised inwardly, ¡®As expected of the person who solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, and invented the earthquake prediction device. Money is nothing to him¡­¡¯ At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket vibrated. 12 PM! The red packets were here! Hence, Lin Fan stopped signing and quickly clicked on the red packets. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] ¡­ Hu Chuan saw that Lin Fan was focused on his phone and could not help but look at him curiously. He happened to see Lin Fan receiving the three yuan red packet seriously. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He was calm in the face of the ten million¡­ It was just a few yuan, but he was so serious? Hu Chuan did not know what to say. A minute later, Lin Fan put away his phone and picked up the pen again. He quickly signed his name on the document. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll leave first.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he casually took the certificate and walked out. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, why did Teacher Tiantian look for you?¡± Song Yi asked as soon as he returned to the dormitory. Zheng Jinbao and Ma Zhong also cast questioning gazes at him. Lin Fan said, ¡°Oh, they gave me a national research and development award and a ten million yuan bonus.¡± Ten million yuan! Silence. The entire dormitory suddenly fell silent. After a long time, Zheng Jinbao muttered, ¡°I-Is it too late for me to study hard now?¡± Song Yi and Ma Zhong did not say anything. They just silently picked up a book and quickly flipped through it. ¡­ The old professor had a class in the afternoon. Even though Lin Fan had a good rest yesterday, he quickly fell asleep after the old professor spoke for a while. When Lin Fan opened his eyes, school was over. At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang. Lin Fan looked at the caller ID. It was the leader of Jiang Bei, Jiao Yang. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, congratulations on winning the National R&D Award. Our team in Jiangbei would like to treat you to a meal to celebrate. Are you free later?¡± Jiao Yang¡¯s clear voice came from the other end of the line. Jiao Yang wanted to treat Lin Fan to a meal last time, but his good friend Chi Zengyi had just opened his barbecue stall. Thus, Jiao Yang brought a group of officials over to support them. In the end, Jiao Yang¡¯s nose was broken by a gangster. However, no one dared to find fault with Chi Zengyi¡¯s barbecue stall. At the same time, the business became extremely prosperous. From this point of view, Lin Fan should thank Jiao Yang. ¡°Alright, thank you, Brother Jiao,¡± Lin Fan replied. Jiao Yang heard Lin Fan agree and said happily, ¡°Why are you being so polite? Besides, we should thank you on behalf of Jiangbei and Hua Nation!¡± After some small talk, Lin Fan hung up. Jiangbei Hotel. As usual, people came and went, and it was extremely lively. Audi cars were parked in rows at the entrance. Boom! Lin Fan¡¯s Koenigsegg CCR seemed a little different. ¡°Welcome.¡± Two beautiful women in traditional dresses stood at the door and called out sweetly. Lin Fan nodded slightly as a form of greeting. Then, his gaze fell on a middle-aged woman in a light blue dress and a young man with a straight back. ¡°Aunt Qing? Brother Yong?¡± Lin Fan shouted. When Aunt Qing and Brother Yong heard this, they slowly turned around and said in surprise, ¡°Lil Fan?!¡± Aunt Qing¡¯s full name was Zhong Tianqing. Brother Yong was her son, Zheng Yong. They used to live on Fourth Street in Qing City and were neighbors of Lin Fan¡¯s family. At that time, the two families were very close, and they took good care of Lin Fan. However, after they moved, they never met again. Unexpectedly, Lin Fan met them here today. Chapter 148 - 148 Work; Greet! 148 Work; Greet! The atmosphere was extremely relaxed when old friends met, and everyone was very happy. ¡°Lil Fan, are you here to play?¡± asked Zhong Tianqing. ¡°I¡¯m studying at Jiangbei University,¡± said Lin Fan. ¡°Jiangbei University? That¡¯s a top university! I told you before that you would definitely get into a good university, and I was right! Good job!¡± Zhong Tianqing praised. How could Lin Fan get into a good university? He did not take the college entrance examination at all. The reason why he was able to enter Jiangbei University was that he had solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and was accepted by Jiangbei University as an exception. If Lin Fan wanted to, he could even become a professor at Jiangbei University, let alone study there. However, Lin Fan did not explain further. ¡°Brother Yong, are you back from the army?¡± he asked. ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Yong nodded. He had always been a man of few words. After becoming a soldier, he had become even less talkative. Lin Fan was used to it. ¡°Brother Yong, you¡¯ve been a sergeant for a long time, right? It¡¯s a pity to come back now.¡± Zheng Yong¡¯s face revealed a look of nostalgia. ¡°Brother Yong is already in his 30s,¡± Zhong Tianqing said. ¡°He can¡¯t be a soldier forever. If he comes back earlier, he can still start a family¡­¡± ¡°It just so happens that Brother Yong¡¯s cousin knows the head of the Commerce Department. I¡¯m treating him to a meal today so that he can help arrange for a job transfer,¡± he said after a pause. At this moment, a woman in a yellow dress and a man with a big belly walked over. ¡°Aunt, why are you guys standing here? Section Chief Liang and I have been waiting for a long time,¡± the woman in the yellow dress scolded. ¡°Oh, I met my neighbor¡¯s son and chatted with him,¡± Zhong Tianqing said apologetically. ¡°Lil Fan, this is Brother Yong¡¯s cousin, Zhang Ru. This is Section Chief Liang,¡± Zhong Tianqing introduced. Lin Fan nodded at the two of them. After all, Lin Fan was not familiar with them. Lin Fan did not like fake pleasantries. However, this action made Section Chief Liang frown. He was a section chief, but this young man only nodded and did not even know how to bow to greet him? ¡°Brother Yong, where do you want to transfer to?¡± asked Lin Fan. ¡°It¡¯s best if I can get into the investigation team,¡± Zheng Yong said truthfully. Section Chief Liang, who was beside him, lectured him in a superior tone, ¡°This isn¡¯t the army. You can¡¯t just go to any department you want after transferring. It depends on the specific vacancy.¡± After all, he was just a small section chief. He did not have the ability to arrange for Zheng Yong to enter a specific position. Even if he had the ability, it would probably take a lot of effort. Section Chief Liang did not want to put in so much effort. Even when Lin Fan was faced with Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, he could still answer them. He had a strong analytical and logical mind, so how could he not understand what Section Chief Liang meant? ¡°If Brother Yong wants to go into the investigation team, I can help think of a way.¡± Section Chief Liang frowned even more. He had just said that he could not go to any department he wanted. In the end, this young man immediately said that he could think of a way. Did this not mean that he was inferior to a young man like him? It was simply a slap in the face! ¡°Since he has a way to transfer you to a suitable department, then you can ask him for help directly,¡± Section Chief Liang said coldly. After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave. ¡°Section Chief Liang, don¡¯t be angry,¡± Zhang Ru said. ¡°He¡¯s just a kid. Don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± Section Chief Liang grunted and said, ¡°Children shouldn¡¯t talk nonsense! They lack discipline!¡± Lin Fan¡¯s temper was rising as this man kept throwing tantrums. ¡°You don¡¯t have much ability, but your tone is quite big!¡± ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Zhang Ru¡¯s face changed. ¡°Quickly apologize to Section Chief Liang!¡± ¡°Apologize? Why should I apologize? I¡¯m just telling the truth!¡± Zhong Tianqing looked troubled. On one side were the children. On the other hand, this matter had to do with her son¡¯s work. Lin Fan could tell that she was in a difficult position and said, ¡°Aunt Tianqing, don¡¯t worry. Leave Brother Yong¡¯s matter to me.¡± ¡°Alright, alright! In that case, it seems that I¡¯m no longer needed here!¡± Section Chief Liang¡¯s expression was extremely ugly. He turned around and strode away. ¡°Aunt, I asked Section Chief Liang to help Brother Yong find a job. Is this how you treat him?¡± Zhang Ru said angrily. Without waiting for Zhong Tianqing to reply, she quickly chased after Section Chief Liang and said, ¡°Section Chief Liang, I¡¯m sorry. I shouldn¡¯t have asked you to help my relative. Please don¡¯t be angry. It won¡¯t be good if you¡¯re angry¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll drink three big glasses of wine later to apologize to you¡­¡± After Zhang Ru said all that, Section Chief Liang¡¯s anger eased a little, and his footsteps gradually slowed down. At this moment, a series of footsteps could be heard from afar. Then, a large group of men and women in white shirts walked in quickly. When Section Chief Liang saw them, his eyes widened. His immediate superior, the captain of the Commerce Department, Cai Bo! Captain of the Investigation Department, Deng Jihu! Captain of the Traffic Department, Pan Hua! ¡­ The leader of Jiangbei, Jiao Yang! They¡­ They all came to Jiangbei Hotel? Gradually, Section Chief Liang realized that they were walking in his direction. Immediately, Section Chief Liang became extremely excited. Although he knew that these leaders were not here for him, it was not a bad thing to greet them when they passed by and get to know them. Finally, Jiao Yang and the others walked up to Section Chief Liang. Section Chief Liang quickly bent over and said with the brightest smile of his life, ¡°Hello, leaders.¡± However, Jiao Yang and the others did not seem to hear him and walked past him. In the end, everyone stopped in front of Lin Fan. ¡°Brother Lin, we invited you to a meal, but you arrived before us. We¡¯re really sorry.¡± Jiao Yang extended his hand. Lin Fan smiled casually, ¡°I¡¯ve only been here for a while.¡± Section Chief Liang saw everything. He was completely dumbfounded! What was going on? What was going on? Jiao Yang shook hands with the young man and said he was going to treat him to a meal? The captain of the Investigation Department, the captain of the Traffic Department¡­ and everyone else were so respectful to him? This¡­ What was going on? At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s gaze landed on Section Chief Liang. He smiled and said, ¡°Moreover, before you came, Section Chief Liang had already greeted me.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Immediately, Jiao Yang and the rest of the team leaders turned to look at Section Chief Liang. Swoosh! In an instant, Section Chief Liang¡¯s entire face turned pale, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He stammered, ¡°Yes¡­ I¡¯m sorry. Mr. Lin¡­ Mr. Lin, I was blind just now. I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Chapter 149 - 149 Help; Shocking! 149 Help; Shocking! Jiao Yang and the others were not fools. On the contrary, they were smarter than the average person. How could they not understand that this Section Chief Liang had not greeted Lin Fan at all? He had completely offended Lin Fan. Jiao Yang did not know Section Chief Liang, but his face was filled with anger. Today, he had finally managed to invite Lin Fan for a meal. However, he was disturbed just like that! Cai Bo, the leader of the Commerce Department, was very clear about Lin Fan¡¯s terrifying identity. At the same time, he knew how high Lin Fan was in Jiao Yang¡¯s heart. Now, his section chief had offended Lin Fan! What a¡­ bastard! ¡°Liang Jian!¡± Cai Bo was shocked and angry. ¡°What the hell did you do?¡± Liang Jian bent even lower, his body trembling, causing large beads of sweat to roll down the ground. Cai Bo became even angrier when he saw that he did not say anything. ¡°Liang Jian, if you can¡¯t satisfy Mr. Lin today, you can get lost tomorrow!¡± Liang Jian¡¯s body went limp, and he almost fell to the ground. Snot and tears flowed down his face. ¡°M-Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry¡­ I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Lin Fan looked at his pitiful appearance and did not have the mood to fuss over it. He said, ¡°Don¡¯t always think you¡¯re the best in the world in the future. Otherwise, next time, the issue might not be resolved by just an apology.¡± ¡°Yes, yes¡­ Thank you, Mr. Lin. Thank you, Mr. Lin,¡± Liang Jian hurriedly said. Zhang Ru, who was standing next to him, was completely dumbfounded. Why was Section Chief Liang suddenly so polite to Lin Fan? Lin Fan ignored Zhang Ru and introduced Zhong Tianqing to the leaders, ¡°Aunt Tianqing, this is the leader of Jiangbei City, Jiao Yang.¡± Boom! These words echoed in the ears of Zhang Ru, Zhong Tianqing, and the others like thunder. The leader of Jiangbei City! This was a big shot! He had actually appeared in front of them! Moreover, he had taken the initiative to shake hands with Lin Fan and called him brother! No wonder¡­ No wonder Section Chief Liang kept apologizing to Lin Fan. ¡°Hello, Madam Tianqing.¡± Jiao Yang extended his hand. ¡°Ah¡­ Hello, leader.¡± Zhong Tianqing was stunned for a moment before she said excitedly. She had never thought that she would have the chance to meet the leader of Jiangbei City with her own eyes. She could even shake hands with him! Lin Fan continued, ¡°This is Aunt Tianqing¡¯s son, Zheng Yong. He became a sergeant a few years ago. He wants to transfer to the investigation team in Jiangbei City. Is there a suitable position?¡± ¡°My Ah Yong has also received second-class and third-class merits¡­¡± Zhong Tianqing hurriedly said. Zhong Tianqing was terrified in front of Jiao Yang and the others. However, out of concern for her son, she could not help but speak up. ¡°The soldiers have sacrificed a lot of blood and sweat for the stability of the country!¡± Jiao Yang said seriously. ¡°It¡¯s only right that we provide them with employment opportunities!¡± Deng Jihu, who was standing at the side, said, ¡°Madam Tianqing, Zheng Yong, nice to meet you. I¡¯m Deng Jihu, the captain of Jiangbei City¡¯s Investigation Department! ¡°Leader Jiao is right. This is what we should do! Moreover, Zheng Yong is so outstanding!¡± Deng Jihu paused for a moment before continuing. ¡°There¡¯s a vacant position for the captain of the investigation team in the Changsheng District of Jiangbei. If Zheng Yong doesn¡¯t mind, he can take up this position.¡± The captain of the investigation team in Changsheng District! One had to know¡­ many people worked hard for their entire lives, but they might not be able to become a district investigation team leader! Moreover, Changsheng District was the main city of Jiangbei! Zhong Tianqing had asked Section Chief Liang for help today. If Zheng Yong could be the team leader of a certain street, she would be extremely grateful. Now, he could become the captain of Changsheng District¡¯s investigation team! Zhong Tianqing¡¯s face was filled with surprise. ¡°Commander Deng, I¡¯ve never been an investigator before. If I become the captain of Changsheng District¡¯s investigation team¡­¡± Zheng Yong said hesitantly. Deng Jihu did not wait for him to finish and directly said, ¡°In the past, you were able to lead so many soldiers in the army and manage them well. I believe that you definitely won¡¯t have problems with a small district investigation team! You don¡¯t have to be humble.¡± Zheng Yong looked at Deng Jihu¡¯s bright eyes and straightened his back. He said solemnly, ¡°Thank you, Captain Deng. I won¡¯t let you down!¡± ¡°Haha! I should be the one thanking you for accepting my invitation! Because, in this way, we will have an outstanding captain in the Changsheng District of Jiangbei!¡± Deng Jihu laughed heartily. The atmosphere immediately became relaxed. Lin Fan smiled, ¡°Well then, to celebrate the fact that Changsheng District will soon have an outstanding captain, Captain Deng, you have to drink with me later!¡± When Deng Jihu heard this, his entire face was filled with joy. He felt that arranging for Zheng Yong to be the captain of the investigation team was one of the best things he had done in his life. Jiao Yang even looked at Deng Jihu with jealousy. ¡°Come, let¡¯s go to the private room and have a good drink!¡± he said at the right time. Then, Lin Fan pulled Zhong Tianqing and Zheng Yong to the luxurious Room 888. Under Jiao Yang and the rest¡¯s strong request, Lin Fan sat at the innermost seat. Regarding this¡­ Lin Fan did not reject it too much. In his opinion, no matter where he sat, it was just eating. Jiangbei Hotel was obviously prepared. Not long after everyone entered, delicious food was served one after another. ¡°First of all, congratulations to Brother Lin for winning the national research and development award!¡± Jiao Yang said. ¡°I suggest that everyone toast to Brother Lin!¡± Jiao Yang raised his glass. Instantly, everyone raised their wine glasses and downed them in one gulp. ¡°Thank you, everyone,¡± said Lin Fan. He drank a glass of wine. The atmosphere in the private room became even more lively. Lin Fan poured himself another glass of wine and said, ¡°Captain Deng, let me toast you.¡± The first toast was to him! Deng Jihu stood up excitedly and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, I should be the one to toast you¡­¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he deliberately placed the wine glass very low and drank it in one gulp. The gathering lasted for nearly three hours before it slowly ended. Zhong Tianqing, who never drank alcohol, drank a big glass today. At this moment, her face was burning. ¡°Lil Fan, Leader Jiao said you won the national research and development award?¡± Zhong Tianqing asked as she walked out of the hotel. ¡°Yeah, I invented an earthquake prediction device,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°That¡¯s why the country gave me an award.¡± ¡°What? You invented an earthquake prediction device?¡± Zhong Tianqing shouted in surprise, and the smell of alcohol on her body dissipated a little. Previously, Zhong Tianqing had seen the news about the earthquake prediction device. At that time, she was still talking about the inventor of the earthquake prediction device having the same name as the child she used to know in the neighborhood. Unexpectedly, they were actually the same person! Chapter 150 - 150 Pretty Lucky; Gifts! 150 Pretty Lucky; Gifts! After Lin Fan parted ways with everyone, he headed straight for Hu Tian¡¯s house. Hu Tian opened the door after the crisp doorbell rang. At school today, Hu Tian was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. She looked dignified and capable, exuding a unique aura of a teacher. At home, she changed into a set of loose, thin home clothes that showed off her fair skin and curvaceous figure¡­ She gave off the feeling of a newlywed bride waiting for her husband. Lin Fan¡¯s breathing grew heavier. ¡°Come to my room,¡± Hu Tian said. ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Fan said happily. However, when he entered the room, Lin Fan was stunned. There was a large stack of draft paper in the room. All kinds of complicated calculations were written on them. ¡°You¡¯re in the midst of answering math questions?¡± Lin Fan was stunned. The corners of Hu Tian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask you to come to my house to discuss the topic at school today?¡± ¡°Yes¡­ That¡¯s right¡­¡± Lin Fan said awkwardly. Lin Fan looked at the questions for a while, then picked up a pen and started writing quickly. Suddenly, a hurried and rhythmic knocking sound rang out in the dark room, like a pleasant piece of music. Hu Tian looked at Lin Fan¡¯s focused expression, and her heart raced¡­ Finally, she threw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s embrace. ¡°I haven¡¯t showered yet¡­¡± Lin Fan said. However, Hu Tian did not care¡­ They moved tirelessly while sweating like rain! That night, Lin Fan and Hu Tian made their way to every corner of the bedroom. ¡­ The next day. After Lin Fan and Hu Tian had breakfast together, he drove the Koenigsegg CCR toward Jiangbei University. Hu Tian lay on the bed again to rest. The roads in the morning were always congested. Many cars lined up in front of the traffic lights. Lin Fan was not in a hurry and seemed to be very relaxed. At this moment, a notification sounded in his mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve completed the hidden mission: benefit your family and friends. You¡¯ll receive a silver packet as a reward.] Benefit his family and friends? Lin Fan was stunned. After a while, he remembered that the captain of the Investigation Department, Deng Jihu, had said that he would be sending an official document to Zheng Yong today. Perhaps it was because of this matter. Lin Fan opened the silver packet. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 5% of Penguin Corporation¡¯s shares.] Penguin Corporation could be said to be the largest internet company in Hua Nation with a market value of more than five trillion! 5% of the shares was more than 250 billion yuan! In other words, Lin Fan had helped Aunt Qing yesterday and earned at least 250 billion? Although shares could not be traded, the annual profit dividends would probably be in the billions! Even Lin Fan had a smile on his face. Boom! At this moment, the green light lit up. Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator and sped forward. Even so, when Lin Fan arrived at Jiangbei University, he was already late for class. The roads were really too congested. Hence, Lin Fan did not go to the classroom. Instead, he went to the dormitory to sleep. Time passed like water. When Lin Fan opened his eyes, the sun was high up in the sky. He lay on the bed and casually went through his phone. Not long after, his phone vibrated. 12:00! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a residential building in Yi Ke City.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,999 yuan.] ¡­ Today, Lin Fan received a total of 23,221 yuan and a house in Yi Ke City. When Lin Fan raised his eyes, a large stack of property ownership certificates and a bunch of keys were quietly placed at the side. ¡®Block 3, No. 201, 178 square meters. Owner: Lin Fan.¡¯ ¡®Block 3, No. 301, 178 square meters. Owner: Lin Fan. ¡® ¡­ Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan could not help but reveal a strange look. He remembered that the house he had bought for Qiu Ziqian happened to be in Block 3. According to the price he had bought at that time, it was more than eight million yuan. In other words, the price of an entire building was at least a few hundred million! ¡°My luck seems to be pretty good recently.¡± ¡­ After school in the afternoon, Lin Fan drove his Mercedes-Benz G-Class toward Yi Ke City. As he turned the corner, the phone in his pocket rang. ¡°Hello, is this Mr. Lin?¡± A dull voice came from the phone. ¡°It¡¯s me,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m from the transportation company. There are some of your items here. Where should I send them?¡± ¡°Yi Ke City. I¡¯m almost there,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright.¡± When Lin Fan arrived at Yi Ke City, a truck was already waiting at the entrance. When the driver saw Lin Fan, he quickly walked over and smiled. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± ¡°Oh, you¡¯re from the transportation company, right?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Yes, these are all your items. Where should I send them?¡± After the driver finished speaking, he slowly opened the car door, revealing a car full of all kinds of Louis Vuitton bags and clothes. Lin Fan was stunned. Initially, he thought that the snacks he bought online had arrived. He did not expect that there would be so many clothes and bags. ¡°These¡­ are all mine?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Yes,¡± the driver said respectfully. Lin Fan thought for a while and said, ¡°Alright then. Help me move them in.¡± Then, Lin Fan brought the driver and two porters to the third building. He casually unlocked a unit and placed a large truck¡¯s worth of Louis Vuitton clothes and bags inside. Lin Fan looked at the pile of clothes and bags in the house and sighed in his heart. ¡°Fortunately, I got a building in Yi Ke City today. Otherwise, I really don¡¯t know where to put so many clothes and bags.¡± As soon as the driver and the porters left, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown number from overseas. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± A somewhat stiff voice came from the phone. Lin Fan said, ¡°Hello, who are you?¡± After a while, a low voice came from the other end of the phone. ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m the interpreter for LV¡¯s president, McGess. Our Mr. McGess asked me to say hello to you. ¡°Also, he asked if you¡¯ve received the gifts from LV. He hopes you like them.¡± When Lin Fan heard this, he realized that the large truck¡¯s worth of LV bags and clothes was all sent over by the president of LV. Hence, he said, ¡°I¡¯ve received them. Tell your president that I like the gifts very much. Please thank him for me.¡± After all, the other party was giving him things out of goodwill. Basic etiquette still had to be done. A hearty laugh and a string of English words soon came from the phone. Lin Fan could clearly understand everything. After all, Lin Fan had Professional English Skills. However, he did not point it out. It was because Lin Fan was from Hua Nation and only liked the language of Hua Nation. ¡°Mr. President said that it¡¯s good that you like them. In the future, he¡¯ll send you one of all LV¡¯s new products.¡± Chapter 151 - 151 Ive Acquired This Real Estate; Im Launching a New Item! 151 I¡¯ve Acquired This Real Estate; I¡¯m Launching a New Item! Lin Fan chatted with the interpreter for a while more before hanging up. However, he did not leave. Instead, he sent a message to Qiu Ziqian. After a while, Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling came down from the 25th floor. When they saw the pile of clothes and bags in the living room, their eyes lit up. ¡°The limited edition steamer!¡± ¡°The limited edition LV Crafty that was released the day before yesterday!¡± ¡°LV Tribute!¡± ¡­ The two of them could not help but scream. They used to be air stewardesses and knew all kinds of branded goods. After resigning, they would also look for clothes and bags online when they had nothing to do. Therefore, they recognized the brand and model of the clothes and bags at a glance. Any one of them was expensive and limited edition. In this room, they were randomly piled on the floor. The number of things here¡­There were probably hundreds or even thousands of them! This¡­ This was simply unimaginable! Lin Fan looked at their shocked expressions and said casually, ¡°These clothes and bags are all mine. You can use them as you wish.¡± ¡°Heavens!¡± When Lin Fan asked Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling to come down¡­ They had already guessed this possibility. However, after Lin Fan confirmed it, they could not help but be shocked. ¡°Darling, why did you suddenly buy so many LV limited edition clothes and bags?¡± Qiu Ziqian could not help but ask. ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t buy them. The president of LV sent them over. Not only that, but he also said that every time LV releases a new product in the future, he¡¯ll send one over. Because I bought 5% of LV¡¯s shares,¡± Lin Fan said. Naturally, Lin Fan would not say that he had received 5% of LV¡¯s shares from the 1,300 red packets he had received two days ago. The system and red packets¡­ they were all his secrets. ¡°Heavens!¡± Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling cried out in shock again. Every time LV released a new product, they would send one to Lin Fan¡­ In other words, he would have an endless supply of LV products in the future? Lin Fan actually bought 5% of LV¡¯s shares! That was LV! Its market value exceeded a trillion! 5% of the shares was more than 50 billion! This¡­ It was completely beyond their imagination! However, what they did not know was that Lin Fan not only owned 5% of LV¡¯s shares, but he also owned 5% of Penguin¡¯s shares! Otherwise, their expressions would definitely be even more interesting than now. After a long time, Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling finally calmed down. They picked out their favorite clothes and bags and returned to the 25th floor happily. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, the LV clothes and bags are all on the fifth floor. Could it be that¡­ you bought the fifth floor too?¡± Lin Fan shook his head. ¡°Not just the fifth floor. I bought the entire building.¡± ¡°All of it?¡± The two of them widened their eyes again and shouted in surprise. Other people would have to worry about buying a house for a long time. Lin Fan directly bought an entire building? Lin Fan did not care about their shock. He casually threw out a bunch of spare keys and said, ¡°If you feel that it¡¯s too crowded to live together in the future, you can go anywhere you want.¡± Instantly, Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian looked at Lin Fan even more fervently. In order to let them be relaxed and at ease, Lin Fan actually bought the entire building. With a man like this, what could a woman ask for? The next moment, the two of them pounced into Lin Fan¡¯s embrace. It was nighttime, and the third block was even more lively than usual. On the distant horizon, a string of fireworks rose and blossomed into gorgeous flowers. ¡­ The next day. Since it was Saturday, Lin Fan sat on the sofa after breakfast and casually scrolled through his phone. At this moment, his phone vibrated slightly. It was Chu Yunyue. Chu Yunyue: [Our company is preparing to launch a new product. Do you have time to come over and take a look?] Lin Fan replied without any hesitation. Lin Fan said: [Okay, I¡¯ll come over later.] Then, Lin Fan chatted with Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling, who looked exhausted, before driving the Lamborghini toward Feiyang Building. In the past, the advertisements at the entrance of Feiyang Building were for cars and electronic products. Now, there was a large logo of Flower Stem, which was very eye-catching. When Lin Fan took the elevator to the 17th floor, a familiar fragrance wafted over. Last time, Flower Stem¡¯s company seemed a little empty. At this moment, it was bustling with activity. When the receptionist saw Lin Fan, she quickly stood up and said in a very respectful tone, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Recently, Flower Stem had been doing well. Even the bonuses and wages of all employees had increased substantially. The receptionist knew very well that all of this was because of Lin Fan. In addition, Lin Fan had a good relationship with the president, Chu Yunyue, and he owned 30% of the company¡¯s shares. No matter how one looked at it, Lin Fan was worthy of respect. Lin Fan nodded his head. ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°Mr. Lin, are you here to see the president? The president is in the office now.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied. Then, he strode into the company. After a dull knocking sound, a pleasant voice came from the president¡¯s office. ¡°Please come in.¡± At this moment, Chu Yunyue seemed to be reviewing some important documents. She was so focused that she did not raise her head immediately. Lin Fan looked at her from afar. He had not seen Chu Yunyue for some time since he last saw her at Hu Tian¡¯s house. Today, Chu Yunyue was wearing a white-collar suit. She looked very capable, and her full figure was perfectly highlighted. There was a hint of fatigue on her quiet face, but it was also filled with excitement. Obviously, the company had been very busy during this period of time. At the same time, she was very satisfied. This made Lin Fan¡¯s heart ache, but at the same time, he felt happy for her. Serious people were the most beautiful. At this moment, Chu Yunyue exuded an unparalleled charm. Chu Yunyue finally raised her head. When she saw that it was Lin Fan, a smile that was hard to hide appeared on her face. ¡°Lin Fan, why didn¡¯t you tell me you were coming? Sit down! I¡¯ll pour you a cup of tea first.¡± As Chu Yunyue spoke, she threw the documents aside and got up to make tea. Although she was very dedicated to her work, it was obvious that Lin Fan was more important to her. After a while, the office was filled with the fragrance of tea. Lin Fan picked up the cup of tea and took a sip. ¡°How does it taste?¡± asked Chu Yunyue hurriedly. ¡°It¡¯s sweet, elegant, and fragrant. It¡¯s a very delicious tea,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°I¡¯m glad you like it,¡± Chu Yunyue said happily as if she had received the greatest praise. ¡°Oh right, what kind of perfume are you preparing to launch?¡± Chapter 152 - 152 Mission Completed; Lin Fan, Thank You! 152 Mission Completed; Lin Fan, Thank You! Chu Yunyue¡¯s pretty face was filled with excitement when she mentioned the new product. She held Lin Fan¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Come here and look at the information.¡± Then, the two of them went to the computer and sat on the same soft executive chair, sticking close to each other. Lin Fan felt a cold, jade-like sensation in his heart. Chu Yunyue stretched out her slender fingers and quickly moved the mouse. After a while, high-definition images appeared on the computer screen. ¡°The new product that Flower Stem is launching this time is not perfume but skincare!¡± Chu Yunyue introduced. ¡°This skincare product is made from pure natural herbal essences. The product has the fragrance of herbs. At the same time, it¡¯s moisturizing, softening, brightening, and so on¡­¡± The more Chu Yunyue spoke, the more excited she became. Her beautiful eyes glowed faintly. Lin Fan could not hear what she was saying clearly. He was just looking at her serious and excited expression and was a little lost in thought. At this moment, Chu Yunyue suddenly turned to the side and exhaled a mouthful of fragrance. ¡°Lin Fan, what do you think? ¡± Looking at Lin Fan¡¯s burning gaze, she thought of something and blushed. Then, she leaned her head forward. Her hand accidentally touched the mouse. Immediately, the computer screen began to play Animal World. ¡°Spring is here. Everything is recovering. It¡¯s time for animals to reproduce¡­¡± ¡­ About two hours later, Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue walked out of the president¡¯s office. At this moment, Chu Yunyue¡¯s pretty face was still blushing. Her snow-white skin was covered in sweat as if she had just done some intense exercise. ¡°Our skincare product will be scented. You¡¯re an expert in perfumes. You have to give more suggestions later,¡± Chu Yunyue said. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°No problem.¡± The two of them chatted as they walked. After a while, they arrived at the research and development center. The last time Lin Fan came, the research and development center only had some simple chemical equipment. At this moment, there were many pieces of large-scale equipment. The researchers were carefully adjusting the equipment and analyzing the data. ¡°Everyone, stop what you¡¯re doing,¡± Chu Yunyue said. ¡°Let¡¯s complete the steps for our latest skincare product from start to finish.¡± She remembered very clearly that Lin Fan had discovered the shortcomings of the perfume during the production process. Therefore, Chu Yunyue had to show Lin Fan the complete steps. ¡°Alright,¡± all the researchers responded in unison. They divided their work in an orderly manner. First, they took out the different plant essences that had been placed in the vials and separated them into different colors. After that, the effective components were extracted by heating and evaporating. Then, they mixed various medicinal liquids according to different proportions. About an hour later, a bottle of water-like essence appeared in front of Lin Fan. At the same time, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve completed the hidden mission: watch the complete steps to the skincare product¡¯s production. You¡¯ve obtained the right to purchase Beauty Water.] [Beauty Water: it can brighten skin, remove freckles¡­ It has the special effect of revitalizing the skin. Cost: 10,000 yuan. [Note: If you spend money to buy Beauty Water, you won¡¯t receive a red packet.] Chu Yunyue saw that Lin Fan did not go to get the skincare product. Instead, he just stood there in a daze. ¡°Lin Fan, what¡¯s wrong?¡± she asked. ¡°Oh¡­ It¡¯s nothing.¡± Lin Fan finally reacted and said, ¡°Don¡¯t release this skincare product for now. I¡¯ll show you something later.¡± After saying that, Lin Fan strode out of Feiyang Building. He bought a two-liter bottle of mineral water from a nearby supermarket and gave the water to the supermarket owner. He left only with the empty bottle. Then, he went to the car and spent 20,000 yuan to buy two liters of Beauty Water before returning to Flower Stem. Chu Yunyue saw Lin Fan return with a large bottle of mineral water in his hand. She could not help but ask, ¡°Lin Fan, you¡­¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°This is a skincare product that I got someone to develop. Try it and see how it works.¡± This was a skincare product? Chu Yunyue was stunned. She had seen many skincare products packaged in gorgeous metal containers, and she had also seen skincare products in exquisite porcelain bottles¡­ However, this was the first time she had seen someone put a skincare product in a mineral water bottle. If it was someone else who said that their mineral water bottle was filled with a skincare product, Chu Yunyue would probably ignore them. However, if it was Lin Fan¡­ Chu Yunyue carefully poured a few drops into her palm. Then, she looked in the mirror and gently patted her pretty face. Instantly, she felt a refreshing feeling on her face. The next moment, Chu Yunyue¡¯s beautiful eyes widened as she cried out in surprise, ¡°How is this possible?¡± Ever since the rainbow perfumes were launched, Flower Stem became famous in Hua Nation. Many channels and sellers came to seek cooperation. Due to this, Chu Yunyue was extremely busy and often stayed up late. After a few days, Chu Yunyue¡¯s skin became rough and dark. She even had two pimples. When Chu Yunyue used the Beauty Water that Lin Fan had brought, her skin seemed to have been injected with vitality. It became fair and smooth again, and even the spots disappeared completely. She became even more perfect than before her skin deteriorated! Her skin was as translucent as jade! This was the best way to describe Chu Yunyue! The reason why Chu Yunyue chose to enter the cosmetics industry was not that she was vain. It was because she had been researching all kinds of cosmetics both domestically and abroad for a long time. She knew that Estee Lauder had the ability to resist aging and repair, that Lebernie had the ability to activate skin metabolism and prevent aging, and that CBG could make skin glow¡­ However, only after using these skincare products for a long time could they achieve a little corresponding effect. What was the situation now? She had only applied a little bit of skincare product, but in a few minutes, there had been an earth-shattering change! This¡­ How was this a skincare product? It was simply the water of the immortal gods! After a while, Chu Yunyue came back to her senses and said, ¡°Lin Fan, this essence¡­¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°If you think it¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll get someone to send a large batch over regularly. Then, Flower Stem will sell it.¡± Could she? This was simply too good! Chu Yunyue¡¯s breathing quickened. She could almost imagine how popular this essence would be once it was released! Soon, however, she hesitated and said, ¡°This is the product you developed. If you let me sell it directly, will it¡­¡± Lin Fan touched Chu Yunyue¡¯s tender face and smiled. ¡°Why do we have to draw such clear lines? Besides, don¡¯t I still have 30% of the company¡¯s shares?¡± When Chu Yunyue heard this, she threw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s arms and said gently, ¡°Lin Fan, thank you. ¡° Chapter 153 - 153 Buying Beauty Water; Discuss Something 153 Buying Beauty Water; Discuss Something Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue spent some time together before they went to the private kitchen. Perhaps it was because New Year¡¯s Day had just passed, a few red lanterns appeared in the restaurant. In addition to the small bridge and flowing water, the green tiles and red bricks made the entire place¡¯s antique atmosphere even more intense. The two of them ordered food and chatted with each other for a while. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. 12:00! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received two yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,00 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Flying Dragon Security Company.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 19,999 yuan.] ¡­ After Lin Fan received the red packets, a series of unique delicacies were served. Both of them were very satisfied with the meal. Then, Chu Yunyue returned to the company to continue handling matters. Lin Fan headed toward the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex. Lin Fan had just walked into the villa when the phone in his pocket rang. ¡°Is this Mr. Lin?¡± An unfamiliar voice sounded on the phone. ¡°It¡¯s me,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. I¡¯m the general manager of Flying Dragon Security Company, Wang Shengli. You¡¯re welcome to come to Flying Dragon Security Company anytime to make your arrangements¡­¡± Wang Shengli said respectfully. Flying Dragon Security Company? Was this not the company that he had just received from the red packet? Arrange work? Lin Fan¡¯s eyes moved. ¡°Does Flying Dragon Security Company have trucks?¡± ¡°Yes! We have many different types of trucks!¡± Wang Shengli said. ¡°Alright then. Get someone to drive two trucks to the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex in Jiangbei City. Do you know where it is?¡± ¡°I know, I know! Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Lin. We¡¯ll rush to Coiling Dragon Villa Complex in the shortest time possible!¡± Wang Shengli¡¯s voice was sonorous and powerful. After Lin Fan hung up, he bought a large number of plastic buckets. Then, he spent 50 million yuan to buy 5,000 liters of Beauty Water from the system and put them all into the plastic buckets. Lin Fan waited for a while before two trucks drove over from afar. A square-faced man got out of the front passenger seat of one of the trucks and quickly walked in front of Lin Fan. He said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin! I¡¯m Wang Shengli, who just spoke to you on the phone.¡± ¡°Hello, CEO Wang,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Oh, you can¡¯t do that!¡± Wang Shengli quickly said. ¡°Mr. Lin, you can just call me Lil Wang.¡± Wang Shengli was probably over 40 years old. Lil Wang? Lin Fan really could not bring himself to call him that. ¡°I¡¯ll call you Brother Wang,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t. This is even more unacceptable.¡± Wang Shengli shook his head repeatedly with a look of fear and trepidation. In the end, Lin Fan chose to call him by his name. Only then did Wang Shengli accept it. ¡°Wang Shengli, send these buckets to Flower Stem in Feiyang Building. Do you know the location?¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Mr. Lin, don¡¯t worry. There¡¯s no place in Jiangbei that we¡¯re not familiar with! I promise to complete the mission!¡± Wang Shengli patted his chest and said. With the help of several security staff members, the 5,000 liters of Beauty Water were quickly loaded into the trucks before the trucks drove out. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. It was a message from his girlfriend, Qin Yuxuan. Lin Fan contacted Qin Yuxuan on WeChat almost every night. However, she rarely took the initiative to send messages during the day. Qin Yuxuan said: [Lin Fan, I want to discuss something with you.] Lin Fan said: [Sure, I have nothing to do today. I¡¯ll come to Modu to discuss it with you later. We haven¡¯t seen each other for a while.] Qin Yuxuan: [You¡¯re coming over? That¡¯s great!] Obviously¡­ Qin Yuxuan was very happy. Lin Fan was a person who would do whatever he said. He immediately bought a first-class ticket. Then, he drove the Lamborghini toward the airport. When he arrived at the airport, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. ¡°Heavens! Lin Fan, you actually sent over so much essence!¡± Chu Yunyue¡¯s excited voice rang out as soon as the call connected. Lin Fan said, ¡°Is it enough?¡± ¡°It¡¯s enough!¡± Chu Yunyue shouted immediately. ¡°It¡¯s too much! Do you know? We just analyzed the essence and found that its vitality and effects are more than a thousand times that of all the beauty products in the world! ¡°More than a thousand times! Did you know this? Oh my God! I almost couldn¡¯t believe my eyes! ¡°In other words, even if this essence is diluted 100 times, the effect of it is still far beyond the beauty products on the market! ¡°Our essence will definitely become a hit!¡± Chu Yunyue¡¯s tone became extremely high-spirited as she reached the end of her sentence. She wished she could shout out in excitement. Lin Fan said, ¡°That¡¯s good. Let me know when the essence is almost used up. I¡¯ll get someone to send it to you again.¡± The two of them chatted for a while more before hanging up. Then, Lin Fan checked his ticket and boarded the plane through the VIP channel. It was only an hour¡¯s flight from Jiangbei to Modu. Lin Fan lay down on the spacious seat in the first-class cabin and had a relaxing sleep. Then, he arrived at his destination. After leaving the airport, he called a taxi. When Lin Fan arrived at Modu University, it was only four in the afternoon. The brilliant sun was still hanging high in the sky, showing no signs of setting. Lin Fan took out his phone and sent a message to Qin Yuxuan. However, Qin Yuxuan was probably busy and did not pay attention to her phone. Therefore, she did not reply immediately. Lin Fan did not care too much. The last time he came to Modu University was to celebrate Qin Yuxuan¡¯s birthday, but he did not visit the university. He had a chance today. Most of the buildings in Jiangbei University were tall, modern, and full of modern style. Modu University, on the other hand, had traces of time, giving people a sense of humanity and history. Lin Fan looked around as he walked. Unknowingly, he had arrived at the teaching building. Many students rushed toward the classroom in front of him. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan could not help but think of Hu Tian¡¯s class. Could it be that the teacher who was about to teach in this classroom at Modu University was also a beauty like Hu Tian? However, was it not the weekend today? Why would there be classes? Lin Fan followed them into the classroom curiously and sat in one of the few remaining seats in the corner. Ding! After the bell rang, the entire classroom immediately fell silent. Under the anticipation of Lin Fan and many other students, a short-haired female professor in her 40s walked in slowly with a textbook. Lin Fan could not help but reveal a puzzled look. Why was she not a beautiful teacher? Why was everyone so enthusiastic, then? However, since he was here, he should take it as it was. Moreover, Lin Fan did not know where else to go. Therefore, he sat in the classroom calmly. The female professor did not notice Lin Fan and started her lesson. Chapter 154 - 154 Nobel Prize? My Girlfriend Is More Important! 154 Nobel Prize? My Girlfriend Is More Important! It turned out that this female professor was an economics teacher. Her voice was crisp and very pleasant. She did not sound like someone in her 40s at all. The female professor liked to combine facts in her lectures and was full of logic. She was quite attractive. Lin Fan was barely listening. However, Lin Fan frowned. At this moment, the female professor was using an algorithm to explain the changes in the economy. Lin Fan did not know much about economics. However, he was definitely an expert in mathematical operations. He could easily tell that the female professor¡¯s calculation was wrong. Lin Fan listened to the explanation of the wrong formula. It was like he had eaten something wrong and needed to spit it out. Finally, Lin Fan could not help but stand up and say, ¡°Teacher, your calculations are wrong.¡± As soon as he said this, the entire classroom suddenly fell silent. Everyone turned to look at Lin Fan. One had to know that the person standing on the podium was a famous economics professor at Modu University. In fact, she even had a place in the entire Hua Nation. Would he use the wrong algorithm? What kind of joke was this? The female professor was not angry. She asked, ¡°Which of the formulas do you think is wrong?¡± ¡°All of them,¡± Lin Fan said. This time, the female professor could no longer remain calm. After a while, she said in a somewhat funny tone, ¡°Then tell me, how should I calculate it?¡± Since he had chosen to stand out and point it out, Lin Fan would not back down. He walked straight to the podium, picked up a chalk, and quickly wrote the calculations according to the data given by the female professor. Ed=dQ/dp*p/Q=GB/CG*CG/OG¡­ Immediately, the entire classroom was filled with a series of rapid knocking sounds, like an intense drum beating. It struck straight at people¡¯s hearts. In the beginning, the female professor was still relaxed and indifferent. It was because she was very confident in the calculations she wrote. However, the female professor did not want to kill the student¡¯s spirit of exploration, so she allowed Lin Fan to write the new formula on the blackboard. However¡­ As time passed, the female professor¡¯s calm face gradually revealed a strange expression. Then, she became serious. In the end, her face showed excitement. Lin Fan wrote down a lot of calculations. After a while, the remaining blank spaces on the blackboard were all used up. The female professor did not hesitate at all. Like the most hardworking assistant, she quickly wiped all the calculations she had written. Hence, Lin Fan continued to calculate. TC=TFC+TVC FVC=TVC£¨Q£© ¡­. Gradually, the entire blackboard was almost filled in by Lin Fan. However, he still had no intention of stopping. Stop? No! Not only did he not stop, but Lin Fan¡¯s writing speed increased. Moreover, the calculations written were no longer just what the female professor had written on the blackboard. Instead, he carried out more and more complicated expansion, analysis, and induction¡­ There might even be a conclusion! Seeing this¡­ The female professor¡¯s heart was beating faster. She said to the students sitting in the first row, ¡°Go to the office and move a few more¡­ No! Bring over ten small blackboards! Hurry up!¡± The female professor¡¯s tone was filled with urgency. She understood that many people relied on inspiration when they calculated. If he kept this up, then the calculation would most likely succeed. However, if it was broken. Then, perhaps¡­ it would be very difficult for him to succeed. If Lin Fan were to succeed¡­ that would definitely cause a sensation in the entire economics world! Just thinking about it made the female professor¡¯s heart beat faster. The students sitting in the first row could not understand what Lin Fan was writing. However, they could hear the urgency and sternness in the female professor¡¯s tone. Therefore, they did not dare to hesitate at all and quickly ran toward the office. After a while, ten small blackboards were brought over. At this moment, Lin Fan was fully immersed in his calculations. After taking the small blackboards, he did not stop and continued to write. [Ding! Absolute Focus, triggered a flash of inspiration!] Lin Fan¡¯s writing speed was getting faster and faster. Just as all the calculations were about to be summarized and deduced into a complicated formula¡­ At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket rang. Lin Fan could not help but put down the chalk in his hand and answer the call. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be right there.¡± After Lin Fan hung up, he turned around and walked out of the classroom. ¡°Where are you going?¡± The female professor asked anxiously. Just as he was about to successfully derive the formula, the person deriving it stopped. It was as if there were many ants crawling on her heart. It was extremely uncomfortable. ¡°Oh, my girlfriend is waiting for me¡­ I¡¯m going to look for her.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Oh right, I¡¯m not your student.¡± The female professor did not care about what Lin Fan said. She hurriedly said, ¡°Student, do you know what you were writing just now? ¡°If you continue to derive it and verify it correctly, it can become an economics theorem! You might even win the Nobel Prize in Economics!¡± When the female professor said this, her voice could not help but become much higher. Excitement, excitement! The Nobel Prize was definitely the most coveted honor for all education and scientific researchers. Now, it was actually possible for it to appear in front of her! Lin Fan said, ¡°I know, right?¡± After saying that, he continued to walk out of the classroom. Facing the possibility of winning the Nobel Prize¡­ He¡­ left? The female professor did not expect such a thing to happen. She was stunned for a moment. Then, she hurriedly chased after him and shouted, ¡°Hey, student!¡± However¡­ At this moment, Lin Fan had already walked far away. Nobel Prize? For many people, this was indeed very attractive. It was because this represented honor, fame, and money! However, Lin Fan was not interested in glory. As for fame? That was something he did not want. Once he became famous, his normal life would be completely affected. As for money? Lin Fan did not lack it. Therefore, this was not attractive to Lin Fan at all. Relatively speaking, it was more important to meet Qin Yuxuan as soon as possible. At this moment, Qin Yuxuan was waiting at the school gate. Qin Yuxuan was wearing a white lace dress today. She had a perfect figure and snow-white skin¡­ Under the rays of the setting sun, her entire body was dazzling, like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world. She was extremely beautiful. Anyone who passed by, regardless of gender¡­could not help but look sideways. Women were jealous. Men, on the other hand, yearned for her. When Lin Fan walked over from afar, Qin Yuxuan¡¯s pretty face was as radiant as a spring breeze. Then, Qin Yuxuan threw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s embrace. This pounce was like a heavy hammer, hitting the chests of the boys passing by. The sound of their hearts shattering echoed in their minds. Chapter 155 - 155 Disrupting the Country and its People; Renting an Office Building! 155 Disrupting the Country and its People; Renting an Office Building! A day apart felt like three years! Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan had not seen each other for a month or two. This made them feel like lovers who had finally met after not seeing each other for many years. The two of them hugged for a long time, but they did not want to separate. At this moment, Qin Yuxuan¡¯s stomach suddenly let out a low growl. Her face could not help but blush. Under the setting sun, her skin was like a translucent jade, very beautiful. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Are you hungry? Let¡¯s go eat something first.¡± Qin Yuxuan nodded. JE Restaurant was located on the beach of Modu. It was one of the most luxurious Western restaurants in Modu. The environment was elegant and quiet. The decoration was luxurious and heavy. Sitting in the restaurant, one could take in the scenery of the beach. While tasting the delicacies, they admired the scenery¡­ Coupled with the elegant and luxurious environment, it gave people the ultimate enjoyment. Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan looked at each other and smiled sweetly. As the soft music played in JE Restaurant, the best pan-fried foie gras, top-grade snails, black truffle, and high-grade black caviar¡­ Many delicacies were served. Lin Fan poured the 1982 Lafite into a wine glass. Then, he raised his glass with Qin Yuxuan and clinked it lightly. Good wine entered his throat, accompanied by delicious food and his lover. Everything¡­ was so beautiful. ¡­ Shangri-La Hotel, presidential suite. Perhaps it was because she had drunk, Qin Yuxuan kept her head down, her pretty face flushing red. Lin Fan looked at her bashful face. She was just like a cute little rabbit, and his heart was filled with love. ¡°Are you sleepy? Let¡¯s go take a shower.¡± Immediately, the sound of water continued throughout the night. ¡­ The next day. The sun was high in the sky, and a huge plane flew across the sky. Qin Yuxuan slowly opened her eyes. Lin Fan caressed her soft hair and said, ¡°You¡¯re awake? You worked hard yesterday. Eat something to replenish your strength.¡± When Qin Yuxuan heard this, a blush appeared on her snow-white face. It was as if the Lafite from last night had made her a little dizzy again. After washing up, Qin Yuxuan ate a big bowl of seafood noodles and drank a cup of soy milk. Her pretty face revealed a satisfied expression. After dinner, she habitually took out her phone and scrolled through the messages. Qin Yuxuan suddenly realized that her mentor had sent a lot of messages to the group yesterday. Kong Ling: [Students, do you know? Just a moment ago, our economics almost produced a theorem formula in our school! You should understand what this means. [This means that our school is very likely to produce a Nobel Prize in Economics! [I¡¯ve never seen such a talented boy in mathematics! [But that guy gave up because of his girlfriend¡¯s phone call! [Really¡­ I¡¯m so angry! No wonder so many people said that women can bring disaster to a country and its people! This is a living example! Students, be vigilant!] ¡­ When Qin Yuxuan saw this, she said in surprise, ¡°Because of his girlfriend¡¯s phone call, he gave up on deducing the economic theorem formula? How could he do this?!¡± When Lin Fan heard this, he suddenly felt that this sentence sounded a little familiar. He could not help but stretch his neck and look at Qin Yuxuan¡¯s phone screen. ¡°His girlfriend is really a disaster!¡± Qin Yuxuan continued. Qin Yuxuan was a graduate student in economics and Kong Ling¡¯s student. She was greatly influenced by Kong Ling. She was very clear about the meaning of solving an economic theorem formula. If one had a theorem formula, many problems would be easily solved. Besides, the Nobel Prize represented supreme honor! ¡°Cough, cough, cough!¡± Lin Fan started coughing. Disrupting the country and its people? Lin Fan wondered if he should tell Qin Yuxuan that this woman who could bring disaster to the country was herself. He did not know¡­ what expression she would have. Qin Yuxuan patted Lin Fan¡¯s back gently and said, ¡°Lin Fan, are you alright?¡± ¡°No¡­ I¡¯m fine,¡± Lin Fan waved his hand and said. ¡°Oh right, what did you say you wanted to discuss with me yesterday?¡± At the mention of this matter, Qin Yuxuan could not help but sit up straight and say, ¡°Originally, I wanted to return to Jiangbei after graduation. ¡°In that case, I can always be with you. ¡°However, a few days ago, my two seniors invited me to start an investment company in Modu¡­My mentor is also more supportive of this matter. ¡°So, I wanted to ask for your opinion.¡± Qin Yuxuan was not just a pretty face. She had many ambitions. It could be seen from her continuous learning until she pursued a master¡¯s degree in economics. ¡°Jiangbei isn¡¯t far from Modu. If I want to see you, I can come over anytime, just like yesterday. ¡°Just do what you want to do.¡± Qin Yuxuan threw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s arms and said, ¡°Lin Fan, thank you.¡± ¡°Silly girl, supporting your career is what I should do.¡± Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°Oh right, where are you guys planning to set up your company?¡± ¡°My two seniors have arranged to go around and inspect the sites before they can confirm it,¡± said Qin Yuxuan. Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll accompany you.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Qin Yuxuan said happily. Then, Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan arrived at a Starbucks. People often said that birds of a feather flock together, and this was very reasonable. At this moment, two women in white shirts with beautiful facial features and voluptuous figures were holding coffee and flipping through information. They¡­ They were Qin Yuxuan¡¯s two seniors. Although there was still a gap between their figures and appearances compared to Qin Yuxuan, their looks could definitely get more than 85 points¡­ They might not be considered great beauties, but they were still very rare. ¡°Yuxuan, you¡¯re here?¡± ¡°Have you had breakfast?¡± The three of them greeted each other. Qin Yuxuan said, ¡°I¡¯ve already had breakfast¡­ This is my boyfriend, Lin Fan.¡± Then, from left to right, she introduced, ¡°This is Senior Lu and Senior Fan.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Hello.¡± Senior Lu teased, ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re pretty capable. You actually managed to woo such an outstanding girl like Yuxuan. ¡± ¡°This is mainly due to my handsome face,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Pfft!¡± Senior Lu almost burst out laughing. ¡°He¡¯s handsome, but he¡¯s also very thick-skinned.¡± Senior Fan did not interrupt. She flipped through the documents in her hands for a while and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s hurry up and look at the office buildings nearby. Then, we¡¯ll discuss where to rent.¡± Senior Lu and Qin Yuxuan nodded as well. After all, this was the reason why they came out today. Chapter 156 - 156 Ill Buy It; Level 6! 156 I¡¯ll Buy It; Level 6! The group of four went through every corner of Modu and inspected more than ten office buildings. Every time they came out of an office building, they would take notes and write down their comments. After all, this concerned their future career development, so they were very cautious. Of course, only Lin Fan was relaxed. He just treated it as accompanying Qin Yuxuan to go shopping. When they came out of an office building again, they went to the beverage shop next door and sat down. Senior Fan took out a stack of documents, wrote a few words, and analyzed, ¡°The location of Defense Office Building and Xinmei Building is not very good. Let¡¯s put them aside for now. ¡°The location of Tianpu Building is not bad. However, there¡¯s no common area, so we won¡¯t be able to use it¡­ ¡°Triumph Building is a little old¡­ ¡°The Magnificent Hotel is also relatively old¡­¡± ¡­ Senior Lu, who was at the side, looked at the office buildings that were constantly being passed. She let out a long sigh and said, ¡°If we have money, it would be best to open an investment company in the Global Financial Building! ¡°The location and environment are all first-class! At the same time, we can also display our strength! In the future, we¡¯ll definitely get twice the result with half the effort!¡± When Senior Lu mentioned the Global Financial Building, her eyes seemed to sparkle, and her tone became high-spirited. ¡°Oh?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Then go straight for the Global Financial Building.¡± Senior Fan pushed up her glasses and said, ¡°Don¡¯t even think about the Global Financial Building. The price is several times that of other places. The annual rent for a small office might cost millions.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look first.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he held Qin Yuxuan¡¯s hand and was about to walk out. Senior Lu and Senior Fan thought that Lin Fan wanted to go for a walk, so they did not object and followed him. After all, the Global Financial Building was a good attraction for outsiders in Modu. After Lin Fan walked into the Global Financial Building, he went straight to the marketing center. After he briefly explained the situation, the salesperson brought everyone to the 78th floor. This was a large office of 500 square meters. Through the translucent floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the Pujiang River that was as bright as the Milky Way under the sunlight. There were also skyscrapers that rose and fell, and people the size of ants¡­ It could be said that the beautiful scenery of the entire Modu was captured in their eyes. In this place, if one was tired from work or encountered something that did not go their way, all of one¡¯s fatigue and worries would probably disappear if one looked into the distance, right? This was a form of enjoyment! It was an ultimate enjoyment that made one feel relaxed and at ease! Senior Lu, Senior Fan, and Qin Yuxuan¡¯s eyes were lit up by the distant sunlight, and their faces were filled with yearning. Seeing this¡­ ¡°We¡¯ll buy this office,¡± Lin Fan said to the salesperson beside him. ¡°Huh?¡± The salesperson was stunned. Senior Lu and Senior Fan did not quite understand. Qin Yuxuan wanted to stop Lin Fan. Seeing that the salesperson did not reply, Lin Fan could not help but ask again, ¡°Why? Can¡¯t I buy it?¡± ¡°O-Of course, you can¡­¡± After hearing Lin Fan¡¯s affirmation, the salesperson finally reacted. Then, he carefully sized up Lin Fan from top to bottom. He was not being snobbish. It was because the price of an office in the Global Financial Building was too expensive. To be able to rent an office here was already considered very powerful. As for buying? That would be too difficult. ¡°The average price of this office is 185,000 yuan per square meter. It¡¯s 500 square meters in total. The total price is¡­ 92.5 million yuan.¡± Lin Fan took out his bank card and said, ¡°Alright, swipe my card.¡± ¡°Uhh¡­ Sir, please come with me to the marketing center downstairs. We¡¯ll draw up a contract for you, and then¡­ Then, we¡¯ll determine the exact price.¡± The salesperson stuttered for a while before slowly explaining the steps of purchasing. He had not prepared the contract beforehand. He had not even prepared a rental contract, let alone a purchase contract. This was because too many people came to see their offices every day. However, there were very few people who actually rented one. The rent of the offices in the Global Financial Building was too expensive. To buy an office directly? That was a small probability that would only happen a few times a year. Soon, everyone returned to the marketing center. The contract was quickly printed out. Lin Fan flipped through the contract page by page. In just ten seconds, he signed his name at the bottom right corner of the contract. This made the salesperson stunned again. Was he not afraid that there would be problems with the contract? This was a deal that involved nearly a hundred million yuan! However, he did not know that Lin Fan had the scanning ability. He could read all the contents of the page in one glance. He could even recite it word for word. Beep! Lin Fan swiped his bank card on the machine. The bill slowly appeared. The transaction was successful! Senior Lu and Senior Fan looked at the contract in Lin Fan¡¯s hands and were stunned. What was going on? Where were they? What were they doing? From the moment Lin Fan walked into the Global Financial Center to the moment he signed the contract and made the payment¡­ How long did it take? Including the time they took the elevator, it probably did not even take more than 10 minutes, right? He bought an office worth nearly 100 million yuan within ten minutes? Senior Fan and Senior Lu felt that everything was so surreal as if they were in a dream. However, Lin Fan did not care too much about it. [Ding! Do you want to use the 10x spending return card?] ¡°Yes!¡± Not long after, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 925 million yuan was deposited into your account.] He spent 92.5 million to buy an office. Then, he earned 925 million yuan? At this point, Lin Fan¡¯s cash reserves had reached 1.28 billion yuan! Even Lin Fan, who obtained so much cash in one go, could not help but smile. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s mind rang out with a crisp notification. [Ding! Hidden mission completed: own more than one billion in funds. Reward: ten silver packets.] [Ding! System upgrade: LV6!] [Level 6 reward: 50 yuan for every breath; 50 yuan for every second of sleep, and 50 yuan for every step taken. Rewards are distributed at 12 a.m. daily.] At Level 5, he could earn a minimum of 1.4 million yuan per day. Now, the total money he could earn from this method had increased by 2.5 times! In other words, he could earn 3.5 million yuan every day! [Upgrade cost: 52.8 million/100 million (not including gifts and gambling. In addition, all items obtained from the system are prohibited from being traded.] [Ding! The check-in system has been activated. Note: You can sign in once a day. You¡¯ll receive different rewards.] As Lin Fan listened to the notifications in his mind, the smile on his face grew wider. Spending 92.5 million to buy an office was worth it! Chapter 157 - 157 I Cant Control My Feelings; Invite the Mentor to Eat Together! 157 I Can¡¯t Control My Feelings; Invite the Mentor to Eat Together! Then, Lin Fan, Qin Yuxuan, Senior Fan, and Senior Lu returned to the 78th floor. Lin Fan held Qin Yuxuan¡¯s hand and walked slowly to the huge, transparent window. He looked down into the distance. ¡°Yuxuan, this office is for you to start your company. Do you like it?¡± he asked with a smile. Two streams of hot tears rolled down from Qin Yuxuan¡¯s beautiful eyes. ¡°Yuxuan, why are you crying?¡± Lin Fan was stunned. ¡°Oh¡­¡± Qin Yuxuan did not explain at all. She directly pressed her fiery lips against his. At this moment, silence was better than sound! This kiss was her answer! She was completely enveloped in happiness and happiness! With such a boyfriend, what could she ask for? Qin Yuxuan had even forgotten that Senior Fan and Senior Lu were still in the empty office. She really could not control her emotions! Of course, Senior Fan and Senior Lu did not notice their actions. That was because they were still in a daze. This spacious and luxurious office overlooking the entire Modu would be his workplace in the future? They were still in disbelief. After a long while, Qin Yuxuan parted with Lin Fan, her face flushed red. Lin Fan wiped the lipstick off the corner of his mouth and asked, ¡°The company¡¯s location has been settled. You probably haven¡¯t prepared the start-up funds yet, nor have you attracted any investment clients, right?¡± Speaking of work, Qin Yuxuan immediately came out of her shy state. It was as if she had transformed into a professional white-collar worker and was full of energy. ¡°We¡¯re preparing to borrow 500,000 yuan each from the university, totaling 1.5 million yuan.¡± ¡°As for the clients, we have some potential clients from the past. After the company opens, we¡¯ll have in-depth contact and cooperation. ¡°In addition, my mentor is willing to help introduce some customers to me¡­¡± When Lin Fan heard that, he nodded his head thoughtfully and said, ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll take out 200 million first. Part of it will be the start-up capital, and the other part will be given to the company by me as your first customer. You guys can determine how to invest it.¡± Silence. The entire empty office was silent. Senior Lu and Senior Fan opened their mouths wide, forming an O shape. What did they hear? He would take out 200 million first? His tone was so calm. It was as if he was taking out 200 yuan! Did he have to be so domineering? 200 million yuan! He could become a key client of any large investment company and obtain a guaranteed high return on investment. At this moment, he directly took it out for a newly established¡­In fact, it was a small company that could close down at any time. Once it went bankrupt, the 200 million yuan would go down the drain! Taking out 200 million for his girlfriend to practice? It turned out that there was such selfless love in the world! ¡°Lin Fan¡­¡± Qin Yuxuan¡¯s beautiful eyes, which had just regained their calm, became misty again. Then, she ignored Senior Lu and Senior Fan and jumped into Lin Fan¡¯s arms. After a long time, they separated again. Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s getting late. Why don¡¯t we go eat first?¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Qin Yuxuan replied softly. ¡°I want to call my mentor over too. She¡¯s helped me a lot¡­¡± Lin Fan could not help but think of that short-haired female professor who kept asking him to come back and continue to derive the formula. ¡°Of course.¡± At this moment, Senior Lu said, ¡°I finally understand why Lin Fan was able to woo Yu Xuan. Not even a celestial immortal can withstand such an attack!¡± ¡°Celestial Immortal?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°That can¡¯t compare to my Yuxuan.¡± As he spoke, he gently stroked Qin Yuxuan¡¯s hair. Senior Lu said, ¡°This wave of PDA¡­ I feel like I don¡¯t even need to eat anymore.¡± Then, she asked, ¡°Oh right, Lin Fan, do you have a brother?¡± ¡°I have a younger sister,¡± Lin Fan said. Senior Lu heaved a long sigh, looking as if she had missed out on hundreds of millions of yuan. The few of them chatted as they walked. Not long after, they arrived at Li Restaurant. The outside of the Li Restaurant was rather ordinary. The interior of the restaurant was decorated in black, giving off a sense of grandeur and luxury. ¡°When I first came to Modu to study, I read a lot of legends about Li Restaurant¡¯s dishes on the internet¡­¡± Senior Lu said excitedly. ¡°I heard that the founder of Li Restaurant used to be a second-grade official!¡± ¡°Moreover, he was the kind of high-ranking official who specialized in tasting imperial banquets!¡± ¡°The dishes of Li Restaurant were made according to the imperial banquet after he retired!¡± ¡°In other words, the dishes here are all things that the emperor used to eat!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know how many times I¡¯ve passed by this shop, but I¡¯ve never walked in even once¡­ My wallet really doesn¡¯t allow it.¡± ¡°Today, thanks to Lin Fan and Yuxuan, I finally have a chance! I have to try it!¡± The more Senior Lu spoke, the more excited she became. Although the dishes had not been served yet, she seemed to have smelled the fragrance and could not help but swallow her saliva. ¡°The owner of Li Restaurant didn¡¯t retire,¡± Senior Fan corrected. ¡°The Qing dynasty perished. However, this shop is indeed very famous. Both Elder Jin and Cheng Long have come here to dine.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Senior Sister Lu praised, ¡°The food must be delicious!¡± At this moment, a series of low footsteps sounded from outside. Then, the female professor with short hair strolled in. Senior Fan and Qin Yuxuan, as well as Senior Lu, all stood up and said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Professor Feng!¡± Professor Feng nodded and was about to speak¡­ In the next moment, her small eyes suddenly widened. Then, she took big strides and quickly walked in front of Lin Fan. She hugged his arm and shouted excitedly, ¡°I finally found you. I won¡¯t let you go again!¡± It was as if Lin Fan had stolen her wallet and she was afraid that he would run away. Chapter 158 - 158 Misunderstanding; Write a Thesis! 158 Misunderstanding; Write a Thesis! Seeing this¡­ Senior Lu, Senior Fan, and Qin Yuxuan were all puzzled. ¡°Professor Feng, is there a misunderstanding?¡± Qin Yuxuan asked. ¡°Did you get the wrong person?¡± Professor Feng¡¯s actions were really too big. It was as if Lin Fan was someone who had done something bad. However, Qin Yuxuan believed in Lin Fan¡¯s character. ¡°Professor Feng, you must have misunderstood,¡± Senior Lu chimed in. After all, Lin Fan was someone who could spend close to 100 million yuan to buy an office in less than ten minutes. He was no average person. How could he do something bad? ¡°Professor Feng, let¡¯s sit down and talk slowly,¡± said Senior Fan. ¡°What misunderstanding?!¡± Professor Feng shouted. ¡°Yesterday, he derived the economics formula in front of me! ¡°Just a little bit more and it could¡¯ve formed an economic formula and theorem! ¡°We can¡¯t let him go!¡± Qin Yuxuan, Senior Lu, and Senior Fan were all stunned. They all saw the message sent by Professor Feng. A super genius had appeared at Modu University! He had deduced and summarized a formula that was enough to make economics take a big step forward! Although they had not seen this person with their own eyes, they were also filled with admiration for this person. In the end¡­ This person was Lin Fan? Not only was Lin Fan rich, but he was also smart! Heavens! What kind of immortal was this? Then, Qin Yuxuan blushed. She suddenly remembered Professor Feng saying that the male student had stopped deducing after receiving a call from his girlfriend and left immediately. Therefore, Professor Feng said that the woman was a disaster to the country and its people. No! Professor Feng was not the only one who thought so. She seemed to think so too. In the end¡­ She was this woman who brought disaster to the country and its people? Lin Fan coughed lightly and said, ¡°Professor Feng, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t leave.¡± However, Professor Feng had no intention of letting go. Yesterday, because she did not stop Lin Fan, she regretted it the entire night. Today, they finally met again. She would never let such a thing happen again! ¡°Professor Feng, why don¡¯t we sit down first?¡± Lin Fan pointed at Qin Yuxuan, ¡°Look¡­ My girlfriend is here. I won¡¯t leave again.¡± ¡°What? You¡¯re that woman who brought disaster to the country and its people?¡± Professor Feng shouted. Qin Yuxuan¡¯s pretty face instantly turned red as she lowered her head silently. At this point¡­ Professor Feng slowly put down Lin Fan¡¯s arm and asked, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°My name is Lin Fan,¡± Lin Fan answered honestly. Yesterday, Lin Fan was not too polite to her. After all, she was just a stranger. Today was different. Today, Lin Fan knew that she was a teacher who took good care of Qin Yuxuan. Therefore, he had to show respect. ¡°Lin Fan, it¡¯s such a pity that you left yesterday¡­ ¡°If you had continued to derive it, it would very likely become an economic formula or theorem! I¡¯m afraid I don¡¯t know when you¡¯ll be able to complete it next time.¡± Professor Feng sighed, her face full of regret. ¡°Anytime,¡± Lin Fan said casually. He was not speaking nonsense. That was because the specific derivation formula had been imprinted in his mind when he triggered the flash of inspiration. It was impossible for him to forget it. ¡°Really?¡± Professor Feng shouted excitedly. Lin Fan nodded his head. Seeing this¡­ Professor Feng hurriedly took out a notebook and a ballpoint pen from her bag. She said in a tone full of anticipation, ¡°Lin Fan, quickly write down the derivation and the final formula for me.¡± Lin Fan thought that since the dishes had not been served yet and he had nothing to do anyway, he might as well do it. Therefore, he took the pen and paper and wrote quickly. Immediately, the sound of a ballpoint pen tapping on the notebook rang out. At the same time, a series of elegant and flowing characters quickly appeared in the notebook. Qin Yuxuan, who was sitting at the side, looked at Lin Fan¡¯s serious expression as he wrote the calculations. She was entranced. In the past, when she was in high school, Lin Fan was very hardworking and serious. The reason why Qin Yuxuan liked Lin Fan¡­ On one hand, Lin Fan was indeed handsome. On the other hand, he was serious. That was because a serious man could exude a unique charm. At this moment, in Qin Yuxuan¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan was exuding his charm to the extreme, causing her heart to race. If it was not for Professor Feng and the others, Qin Yuxuan would have thrown herself into Lin Fan¡¯s arms. Lin Fan¡¯s writing speed was very fast. In just a few minutes, two pages of the notebook were filled with neat calculations. Soon, the third page was finished. Lin Fan put down his pen and paper. After the deduction, the economic theorem and formula appeared! ¡°Alright, alright! That¡¯s great!¡± Professor Feng shouted excitedly, her entire face full of smiles. Then, she hugged the book tightly in her arms like a treasure. Senior Fan could not help but ask, ¡°Professor Feng, is the formula correct?¡± Her studies were not bad. However, Lin Fan¡¯s calculations were too complicated. She could not understand them at all. ¡°This requires detailed verification!¡± Professor Feng said. ¡°However, even if the conclusion is wrong, it¡¯ll still greatly promote the development of economics! ¡°And if it¡¯s correct¡­¡± At this point, Professor Feng¡¯s face became even more excited. She seemed to have already seen the grand scene after the formula was proven to be correct. Then, Professor Feng said, ¡°Lin Fan, spend more time and write a complete economics thesis on the derivation of the formula. I¡¯ll help you revise it and submit it to Ecta.¡± Lin Fan waved his hand, ¡°Let Yuxuan write it. I¡¯ll tell her the detailed process.¡± Professor Feng looked deeply at Lin Fan, her face revealing a look of shock that was hard to hide. Having her write the thesis was equivalent to giving away half of the credit for free. After all, this was half the result that could make the entire field of economics take a big step forward. It might even win them the Nobel Prize in Economics. They would leave a mark on history! Even a married couple would not be so generous. Moreover, they were just a couple! ¡°Lin Fan, you should write it. I didn¡¯t even participate in this deduction process,¡± Qin Yuxuan said. Obviously, she understood what it meant to write a thesis. Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯ve never studied economics. I¡¯ve never even written a thesis before. How could I write such things? Yuxuan, don¡¯t decline.¡± ¡°Uhh¡­ Alright then.¡± Qin Yuxuan hesitated for a moment before answering. However, she had already decided that even if she had to write the thesis herself, she would leave all the glory to Lin Fan. Chapter 159 - 159 Great Harvest; 9,300 Red Packets! 159 Great Harvest; 9,300 Red Packets! At this moment, delicacies were slowly served. Shrimp and celery heart, dried phoenix chicken, amber peach kernels, fried red fruits, braised fish, white braised abalone, soft fried fresh shellfish, egg chicken soup¡­ Each dish was gorgeous in color, beautiful in shape, and filled with fragrance. Now, the economic formula had been successfully derived. Everyone was in a good mood and had a good appetite. It was a good time to eat. Everyone ate happily. They even drank a little wine, and their faces turned red. Initially, Lin Fan was prepared to treat them. However, Professor Feng said that she had witnessed the emergence of the economic formula, so she had to treat him. Seeing how insistent she was, Lin Fan decided to let her be. Tomorrow was Monday. In addition, Qin Yuxuan¡¯s matter had already been settled. Therefore, Lin Fan did not stay in Modu any longer. He bought a first-class ticket for the afternoon and headed to Jiangbei. ¡°Yuxuan has really found a good boyfriend,¡± Senior Fan praised sincerely. ¡°He¡¯s not just a good boyfriend,¡± Senior Lu said. ¡°He¡¯s simply a perfect male god!¡± ¡°He spent more than 90 million to buy a big office in the Global Financial Building¡­ Then, he gave 200 million yuan to our new company as start-up capital and investment capital!¡± The more Senior Lu spoke, the more excited she became. She was dancing with joy. Professor Feng, who was standing at the side, said in surprise, ¡°He even took out so much money?¡± Professor Feng was a financial expert and often dealt with very large amounts of money. However, that money did not belong to an individual but to the company. Taking out nearly 300 million yuan in one go? Most likely, even a person with a net worth of more than ten billion yuan would not be able to take it out in a short period of time. However, Lin Fan had done it. How rich was Lin Fan exactly? Unimaginable! Professor Feng patted Qin Yuxuan¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°A man like this is hard to control.¡± Qin Yuxuan¡¯s delicate body trembled slightly. Soon, however, her beautiful eyes became determined again. ¡­ Yesterday, Lin Fan was exhausted for the entire night. Therefore, as soon as he lay down on the spacious first-class seat, he quickly fell asleep. When Lin Fan opened his eyes, he was already in Jiangbei. Lin Fan drove the Lamborghini that he had left in the parking lot yesterday and headed toward the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex. When the security guards standing at the entrance of Coiling Dragon Villa Complex saw Lin Fan, they all stood up straight and took the initiative to greet him. Lin Fan greeted them and entered the villa near the lake. Then, he turned his attention to the system. [Do you wish to sign in?] This was the new system ability he had obtained after spending 92.5 million yuan to purchase an office in the Global Financial Building. Lin Fan had wanted to give it a try for a long time. At this moment, without any hesitation, he said directly, ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Modu Global Financial Tower 1.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan was stunned. W-What was going on? In other words, he had not only earned 900 million yuan by buying an office, but he also won an entire building? This was the Global Financial Tower! One office was worth nearly 100 million yuan. How much would the entire building cost? 30 billion? 50 billion? Lin Fan¡¯s face was filled with a strange expression. This trip to Modu was really not bad. [Do you want to open the ten silver packets?] This was the reward for completing the hidden mission when the funds exceeded one billion. ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one million yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 300,000 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 500,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a Patek Phillipe 5002P.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 5% of the shares of Little Tanuki Group.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 100,000 yuan.] ¡­ From the ten silver packets, Lin Fan received a total of 2.9 million yuan, a Patek Phillipe 5002P, and 5% shares of the Little Tanuki Group! Seeing this¡­ Even Lin Fan could not help but smile. Little Tanuki Group was a super internet company comparable to Penguin with a market value of nearly five trillion! 5% of the shares meant that it was also worth about 250 billion yuan! What a terrifying number! Then, Lin Fan took out his phone. [Do you wish to open 9,300 red packets?] This¡­ They were from the 93 million yuan he had spent on his trip to Modu. ¡°9,300 red packets? Let me see what I can get,¡± Lin Fan said expectantly. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the Painting of Spring Trees and Autumn Frost.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,000 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 144 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 100 stock trend cards for the next three days.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 5% of Gucci¡¯s shares.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 19,999 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a MEGAS4 wristwatch.] ¡­ From the 9,300 red packets, Lin Fan received a total of 2,521,151 yuan. He did not care about this bit of money at all. After all, Lin Fan could earn at least 3.5 million yuan every day. [100 stock trend cards for the next three days. After using it, you can randomly obtain the trend chart of 100 stocks in the next three days. With one word, you can determine the future and show your supreme charm. Note: When buying stocks, the amount of each stock should be less than 1% of the market value of the stock.] Was this the way to increase the value of his money quickly? Lin Fan skipped over it. 5% of Gucci¡¯s shares? Gucci was a world-renowned luxury bag and clothing company with a market value of about 500 billion yuan. 5% of the shares? That was about 25 billion. This was not bad. When Lin Fan lifted his eyelids, there were two fashionable and cool watches in front of him. Obviously, these were the MEGAS4 and the Patek Phillippe 5002P that he had just gotten from the silver and red packets. Under the two watches was an exquisite ancient painting. In the painting, two scholars sat cross-legged on a big rock, chatting softly, which was very artistic. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan threw the two watches aside. Then, he picked up the painting and admired it carefully. ¡°Is this Tang Bohu¡¯s Painting of Spring Trees and Autumn Frost? It¡¯s indeed well-drawn! No wonder Tang Bohu was able to chase after Qiuxiang.¡± If someone who loved watches saw this scene, they would be heartbroken. One had to know¡­ The two watches that Lin Fan casually threw out were the Patek Phillipe 5002P and the MEGAS4! The 5002P was a super-complex functional watch, limited to no more than ten pieces worldwide! The price of each watch was more than 15 million! The MEGAS4 was recognized as the most complicated watch in the world, and its price was also more than 15 million! These two watches were priceless treasures! In the end, they were thrown out just like that? If they were knocked over, it would definitely be a loss for the watch industry! Chapter 160 - 160 Another Truckload of Luxury Goods; Touching! 160 Another Truckload of Luxury Goods; Touching! The next day. When the sun rose slowly, Lin Fan finally got up from the big bed in the Coiling Dragon Villa. His phone rang. Lin Fan looked at the caller ID. It was a familiar number. ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. I¡¯m from the transportation company. We have some of your items. Do you still want to send them to Yi Ke City?¡± A dull voice came from the phone. Lin Fan immediately thought of a person. A few days ago, he was the one who sent a truckload of Louis Vuitton bags and clothes. Lin Fan said, ¡°Send them to the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex. Do you know where it is?¡± ¡°Is it the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex that¡¯s by the lake?¡± the driver asked. ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Okay, please wait a moment. I¡¯ll be there in about 15 minutes,¡± the driver said. Lin Fan was not in a hurry. He walked to the bathroom and washed up. Just as he was about to take a break in the living room, his phone rang again. ¡°Mr. Lin, we¡¯re here.¡± The driver¡¯s voice came from the phone. Lin Fan looked out the window. Sure enough, a tall truck had already stopped at the entrance. When the driver saw Lin Fan walk out, he said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± It was no wonder that the driver would be like this. That was because he had delivered packages to Lin Fan twice. Every time, it was a truck full of expensive top-notch luxury goods. The power of such a person was simply unimaginable. As soon as he finished speaking, the driver opened the truck¡¯s door and revealed a truckload¡¯s worth of Gucci clothes and bags. ¡°Mr. Lin, are we going to put these things in this villa?¡± Even though Lin Fan was already mentally prepared, when he saw so many clothes and bags, he could not help but be dumbfounded. ¡°Yes, put them in the living room.¡± He nodded after a while. ¡°Alright.¡± The driver responded and then moved the clothes and bags inside with two porters. Lin Fan thought for a while and casually took some bags and placed them in the Mercedes-Benz. In a short while, the entire living room was completely filled. After the driver left, Lin Fan did not have any intention of resting anymore. He turned around and drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class toward Jiangbei University. Monday morning seemed to be more congested than at other times. Looking ahead, the roads were filled with densely packed vehicles. Lin Fan sat in the car, feeling a little bored. He could not help but place his attention on the sign-in system. [Do you want to sign in?] ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained all the property rights of Zhenhu Yuting.] Zhenhu Yuting was a famous residential building in the center of Jiangbei City. The environment of the neighborhood was excellent, and the surrounding industries were rich. It was the ideal residence for many company bosses. There were more than a thousand houses in the entire neighborhood! If each house cost five million yuan, the total value was about 5 billion! Lin Fan did some calculations and nodded his head slightly. It was not bad. When he turned his head, he saw that the front passenger seat was already piled with property ownership certificates and large keys. Lin Fan casually flipped through a few property ownership certificates. ¡®Zhenhu Yuting Building A, Unit 201. Area: 125 square meters. Owner: Lin Fan.¡¯ ¡®Zhenhu Yuting Building A, Unit 202. Area: 109 square meters. Owner: Lin Fan.¡¯ ¡­ Then, Lin Fan looked at the congested road in front of him. After hesitating for a moment, he finally turned the car around and headed toward Lianjia Real Estate Agency not far away. At this moment, Han Tian was sitting in front of her desk, carefully flipping through the documents. When she unintentionally raised her head, her entire pretty face was filled with surprise as she shouted, ¡°Mr. Lin? ¡°Mr. Lin, please take a seat. I¡¯ll pour you a cup of coffee first.¡± After saying that, she quickly got up and took out a box of beautifully packaged coffee from the cabinet. After brewing the coffee meticulously, she carefully brought it to Lin Fan. Han Tian had a special feeling about Lin Fan. He was rich, handsome, low-profile, and well-mannered. The only pity was that he already had a girlfriend. Lin Fan did not know much about coffee and just took a sip. However, he could not help but nod his head. It was sweet and delicious, and the taste was indeed not bad. ¡°Mr. Lin, what a coincidence that you¡¯re here,¡± Han Tian said. ¡°I was planning to send you the rental status of Washington Palace for last month.¡± As she spoke, she handed over a stack of documents under the table. ¡°The total rent is 800,000 yuan. If there¡¯s no problem, I can arrange for the finance department to transfer the money in the afternoon.¡± Even though Lin Fan had the scanning ability and could read all the data in one glance, he still did not accept the information. ¡°I won¡¯t look at the information. I believe you!¡± Han Tian was touched. This involved nearly a million yuan, yet he trusted her so much. Lin Fan continued, ¡°I¡¯m here this time to rent out Zhenhu Yuting. ¡± ¡°Sure, our Lianjia has also rented out many units in Zhenhu Yuting.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head and placed a large Gucci bag on the table. The bag was filled with property ownership certificates and keys. Seeing this¡­ Han Tian could not help but be stunned. ¡°M-Mr. Lin¡­ This¡­¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯ve bought the entire Zhenhu Yuting. Here are the property ownership certificate and keys. I¡¯ll be counting on you to help me rent it out in the future,¡± Lin Fan said. His tone was so calm. However, Han Tian¡¯s ears buzzed like thunder. The entire Zhenhu Yuting? The average price there was about 40,000 yuan per square meter! Buying the entire building would cost at least a few billion! Now, he was asking her to rent it out? Even if he could collect 100 million yuan in rent every year, it would take decades to recoup his losses. This was definitely not worth it. Then why did he do this? Lin Fan ignored Han Tian¡¯s thoughts and asked, ¡°Do we need to sign a contract?¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Ah¡­ Alright, let¡¯s sign a contract, ¡± Han Tian said. As the printer made a squeaking sound, a warm contract appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s hands. Lin Fan casually flipped through it and signed his name. Then, Lin Fan handed over two exquisite Gucci bags and said, ¡°These two bags are for you.¡± He looked at his watch and said, ¡°It¡¯s getting late. I¡¯ll make a move first.¡± He turned around and got into the Mercedes Benz G-Class, heading toward Jiangbei University again. Han Tian was the only one left. She stood in place and stared blankly at the Mercedes-Benz G-Class that had left. In her mind, she could not help but recall the bits and pieces of her life with Lin Fan. Lin Fan specially invited her to Star Restaurant for a meal¡­ to let her taste the delicacies. Lin Fan rented out the entire Zhenhu Yuting so that¡­ her work could go smoothly. Lin Fan gifted her two limited edition bags from Gucci¡­ to let herself enjoy the luxury of branded goods. She was moved, happy, and blissful. All kinds of emotions kept surging in his heart. Her heart began to beat faster, and a blush appeared on her pretty face. At the same time, Lin Fan, who was driving the Mercedes-Benz, heard a clear notification in his mind. [Ding! Charming Aura has been activated!] Chapter 161 - 161 Invitation! 161 Invitation! At this moment¡­ Lin Fan, who was waiting for the traffic light, heard the voice in his head, and his face was filled with confusion. ¡°I triggered an unforgettable moment?¡± Then, he could not help but look around, but he did not find anyone nearby watching him. What was going on? Did he suddenly trigger Charming Aura? Lin Fan shook his head and could only put this matter aside for now. At this moment, the phone beside the seat rang. Lin Fan casually pressed the answer button in his car. ¡°H-Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± A stiff voice came from the phone. Lin Fan said, ¡°Hello.¡± When the person on the other end of the phone heard Lin Fan¡¯s reply, he paused for a moment. After a while, he continued with difficulty, ¡°Lin¡­ Mr. Lin, I¡¯m Oram, the chairman of Gucci. Welcome, Mr. Lin. You¡¯ve become a shareholder of Gucci¡­ ¡°Mr. Lin¡­ do you like my gifts?¡± When Lin Fan received the Gucci bags and clothes, he was already mentally prepared for this call. Therefore, he was not too surprised. After all, he had a similar experience after obtaining 5% of LV¡¯s shares. ¡°I like your gift. Thank you,¡± Lin Fan said. The other party was also giving gifts out of kindness. He still had to give him some basic etiquette. ¡°Mr. Lin, you¡­¡± Oram said happily. ¡°You¡¯re too polite¡­ In the future, I will still give you gifts.¡± It was obvious that his grasp of Hua Nation¡¯s language was very ordinary. After a few more words, Oram hung up. At this moment, Lin Fan finally arrived at Jiangbei University. He sat in the classroom, occasionally looking at his laughing classmates, sometimes listening to the teacher¡¯s lecture, and sometimes sleeping¡­ Lin Fan felt extremely relaxed. During lunch, Lin Fan received 32,102 yuan from the red packets that arrived at 12 pm. In the blink of an eye, the day¡¯s classes were over. At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Tan Shengyu, whom he had interacted with at the Ferrari auto show not long ago. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, are you free tonight? I want to invite you and Sister Jiaxin to come and have a gathering,¡± Tan Shengyu said bluntly. Tan Shengyu had helped Lin Fan at the auto show. Even though it was just a short interaction, Lin Fan felt that he was not bad. In addition, he did not have anything to do at night. ¡°Alright,¡± he replied. Then, Lin Fan looked at Song Jiaxin who was packing her textbooks and said, ¡°By the way, have you invited Jiaxin?¡± ¡°Not yet. You¡¯re the first one I called,¡± Tan Shengyu said. ¡°Alright, you don¡¯t have to call Jiaxin. I¡¯ll go and talk to her,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright, thank you, Brother Fan,¡± Tan Shengyu said happily. Song Jiaxin was a big sister in the circle, while Tan Shengyu was just a nobody. If he were to directly contact her¡­ Well, he was not confident. Now, with Lin Fan¡¯s help, things could not get any better. After hanging up, Lin Fan walked toward Song Jiaxin. ¡°Why is our great scientist here today?¡± Song Jiaxin smiled. The students sitting next to her all had strange expressions on their faces. One had to know¡­ Song Jiaxin was usually unsmiling and was called an ice beauty by many people. Now, she was actually teasing Lin Fan. It was unbelievable. Lin Fan said helplessly, ¡°Don¡¯t tease me. Tan Shengyu said that he¡¯s organizing a party tonight and wants everyone to get together. Do you want to go over tonight?¡± ¡°Huh? Tan Shengyu actually knows how to organize a party? How can I not go?¡± Song Jiaxin said. These words¡­ If someone in the industry who was familiar with Song Jiaxin knew about this, they would probably be so shocked that their mouths would drop open. Song Jiaxin would only participate in some racing events. She rarely showed her face in other situations. Now, she actually said that she wanted to join in the fun? Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Then let¡¯s go together.¡± Then, the two of them walked shoulder-to-shoulder toward the parking lot. Song Jiaxin looked at the Pagani Huayra, Koenigsegg CCR, and other cars in the parking lot and laughed. ¡°This place is about to become your exclusive parking lot, huh?¡± Was that not so? Ever since Lin Fan parked his sports cars here, there were very few people who parked nearby. They were all afraid of accidentally bumping into Lin Fan¡¯s cars. At that time¡­ Even if they sold themselves, they probably would not be able to afford it. Lin Fan rubbed his nose and opened the door of the Pagani Huayra¡¯s gull-wing car. He sat in it. Boom! After Song Jiaxin got in, Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator. Then, the entire car flew forward like a beast. ¡­ At this moment, Sun Luguo was sitting in the study, holding a thick economics book. He was studying silently and taking notes from time to time. Most people would think that rich second-generation heirs would always be eating, drinking, and having fun. Actually, that was not the case¡­ They often studied more than the average person and were more diligent. This was because most of them were very strong. They did not want to just inherit the family business of their family but to let the family business develop better and better in their own hands! At this moment, Sun Luguo¡¯s phone rang out. He did not like to be disturbed when he was reading, so he could not help but frown. Sun Luguo looked at the caller ID and picked up the call. ¡°Shengyu, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Tan Shengyu seemed to have heard the displeasure in Sun Luguo¡¯s tone. Therefore, he carefully said, ¡°Young Master Sun, uh¡­ I¡¯m organizing a party today and would like to invite everyone to gather together. I wonder if you¡¯re free later?¡± Sun Luguo¡¯s brows furrowed even more when he heard that. He said, ¡°I have something to do tonight¡­¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Alright. Your matter is more important, so I¡¯ll just meet up with Brother Lin Fan and the others,¡± Tan Shengyu said. ¡°Hmm? Brother Lin Fan? Which Brother Lin Fan are you talking about?¡± Sun Luguo hurriedly asked. ¡°The Lin Fan who raced on Donglai Mountain Road. That Brother Lin Fan,¡± replied Tan Shengyu. Sun Luguo put the book on the table. ¡°Where are you guys going to meet?¡± he asked. ¡°Four Seasons, Four Seasons¡¯ Heaven and Earth!¡± Tan Shengyu said hurriedly. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be there in a while,¡± Sun Luguo said. After hanging up the phone¡­ ¡°Brother Lin Fan¡¯s reputation is really big,¡± Tan Shengyu muttered. ¡°He made Young Master Sun change his mind.¡± With this experience, he dialed Liu Yuhang¡¯s number. ¡°Young Master Liu, I¡¯m organizing a party at Four Seasons today. Do you want to come over and gather together? Oh right, Lin Fan has already agreed to come over,¡± Tan Shengyu said. Liu Yuhang¡¯s hearty laughter rang out from the other end of the phone. ¡°D*mn, is there a need to ask? Don¡¯t you know that I like lively places the most? Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely be there later!¡± ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll wait for Young Master Liu,¡± said Tan Shengyu happily. Chapter 162 - 162 Arrival; Cheers! 162 Arrival; Cheers! Liu Yuhang had a bold personality and liked to join in the fun. However, he would not casually attend parties. Tan Shengyu understood that the reason why he agreed¡­ was probably because of Lin Fan. In his heart, he could not help but raise Lin Fan¡¯s status even higher. ¡­ Four Seasons¡¯ Heaven and Earth was a famous bar in Jiangbei. At this moment, many luxury cars such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi were parked in front of Four Seasons. There were also many luxury cars such as Porsches and Maserati, as well as supercars such as Ferraris and Lamborghini¡­ Many beautiful women with hot figures were circling around the Ferrari, Lamborghini, and other super sports cars like beasts looking for prey. Boom! After a loud rumble sounded in the distance, these beautiful women seemed to have heard the sound of prey and looked forward at the same time. They saw¡­ A cool-looking Pagani Huayra speeding over from afar. In the end, it stopped steadily. The hearts of all the beautiful women seemed to resonate with the rumbling sound of the Pagani Huayra. Their hearts began to beat rapidly as they slowly approached the car as if they were attracted by it. However¡­ The next moment, they all stopped in their tracks. A man and a woman walked out of the Pagani Huayra. Obviously, this meant that the target was no longer their prey. Song Jiaxin saw all of this and smiled. ¡°Lin Fan, how is it? Do you regret bringing me here?¡± ¡°Why would I regret it?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°If you didn¡¯t bring me along¡­ At this time, you might already be surrounded by many beautiful women,¡± Song Jiaxin said. ¡°So, you¡¯ve become my shield?¡± Lin Fan smiled. Shield? Song Jiaxin laughed. She often heard this phrase. However, this was the first time it had been used on her. At this moment, Tan Shengyu, who was standing at the entrance of Four Seasons, walked over quickly. ¡°Sister Jiaxin, Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re here?¡± Tan Shengyu said. ¡°Yeah, are the others here yet?¡± Song Jiaxin nodded and asked. ¡°Young Master Liu, Young Master Duan, Young Master Huang, and the others are here. Young Master Sun and the others said that they¡¯ll be here soon,¡± Tan Shengyu said. The three of them chatted as they walked¡­ When they entered Four Seasons¡¯ Heaven and Earth, they could hear the booming music in their ears. The dazzling lights were in front of them, and the many men and women were swaying crazily on the dance floor in the distance. The few of them continued to move forward and came to a large booth. Liu Yuhang and the others were drinking whiskey and swaying to the music. When they saw Lin Fan and Song Jiaxin, they stood up. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, we finally meet again! I missed you so much!¡± Liu Yuhang shouted happily. At the same time, he opened his arms and was about to give Lin Fan a bear hug. However, Lin Fan dodged to the side and said, ¡°I only hug beautiful women. As for you¡­ Forget it.¡± After saying that, Lin Fan even brushed off his arm. That appearance¡­ It was as if he was trying to soothe his goosebumps. Seeing this¡­ Everyone burst into laughter. At this moment, Sun Luguo and two men of medium build walked in. When they saw Lin Fan and the rest, they could not help but say, ¡°Everyone is so fast!¡± ¡°You guys are too slow,¡± Liu Yuhang said. ¡°Oh, so being fast is also an advantage,¡± Sun Luguo said. Liu Yuhang raised his eyebrows as if he wanted to refute him again. The Sun family and the Liu family could be said to be mortal enemies. As a result, Sun Luguo and Liu Yuhang would fight whenever they met. Whether it was playing chess, racing, or drinking¡­ Both of them would step on each other. Lin Fan said, ¡°Almost everyone should be here, right? Sit down and relax.¡± When everyone heard this, they also sat down. Then, Tan Shengyu waved his hand in the distance. Soon, Manager Ma, who had his hair combed back and was wearing a suit, walked over with a smile on his face. ¡°Young Master Tan, what can I do for you?¡± he asked respectfully. Obviously, Tan Shengyu was a regular here. Manager Ma recognized him at a glance. ¡°Steak, snacks, and fruit platters. Also, two Great Dragons!¡± Tan Shengyu said. When Manager Ma heard this, his face was immediately filled with smiles. One had to know¡­ The Great Dragon was a set meal with six Ace of Spades. It cost a total of 100,000 yuan! Two Great Dragons¡­ Even if the steak, fruit platters, and snacks were not counted¡­ the cost would be 200,000 yuan! This was definitely considered a big deal! ¡°Two Great Dragons?¡± Liu Yuhang exclaimed. ¡°Shengyu, how heroic!¡± Although they were all young masters in the same circle, their money was not unlimited. Generally speaking, they only had ten million yuan as pocket money every year. Some people had even fewer. Spending more than 200,000 yuan on a bar meeting was indeed generous. At this moment, a group of beautiful women with voluptuous figures and exquisite facial features walked over. They each had a bottle of Ace of Spades in their hands. From afar, they looked like beautiful fairies. At the same time, the DJ on stage shouted, ¡°Congratulations to Booth Number 6 for welcoming two Great Dragons! Let us cheer for the VIPs in Booth 6!¡± Immediately, the entire Four Seasons¡¯ Heaven and Earth was filled with even more enthusiastic music. Everyone shouted and shook violently. Liu Yuhang opened a bottle of Ace of Spades and shouted, ¡°Come, let¡¯s drink together!¡± It had to be said that the bar was a very influential place. Everyone was drinking, listening to music, and shaking their bodies¡­ At this moment, it was as if they had all forgotten their troubles and everything else¡­ There was only happiness and joy left in their hearts! After drinking bottle after bottle of liquor, everyone was tired of dancing and shouting¡­Finally, it slowly stopped. Everyone sat in the booth and chatted with each other. It was quite relaxed and comfortable. ¡°Let¡¯s have fun this time! Next time, let¡¯s set up another car race!¡± Liu Yuhang said. Duan Qian, who was sitting across from him, looked dejected. ¡°Duan Qian, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Liu Yuhang asked. ¡°Or did you not save enough money to buy a supercar?¡± Duan Qian nodded helplessly. Logically speaking, those who could sit together were all rich young masters of similar status. It should not be a problem to save a little and buy a supercar. However, Duan Qian was different¡­ He had a good car. He used to race cars often and even put almost all his energy into racing. As a result, Duan Qian even forgot about his grandfather¡¯s birthday. The old man was so angry that he confiscated his car and deducted 90% of his pocket money. Now, Duan Qian only had 100,000 yuan as pocket money every month. He could barely make ends meet. Liu Yuhang placed his hand on Lin Fan¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°If you want money to buy a car, you have to ask our Brother Lin Fan! Brother Lin Fan, do you have any good projects that can help us earn some money?¡± Chapter 163 - 163 Willful Investment; Mission Triggered! 163 Willful Investment; Mission Triggered! Liu Yuhang had his reasons for saying this. He knew Lin Fan well. He had a few super sports cars. Furthermore, Lin Fan had a close relationship with the Zhou Family in Jingbei. It was definitely a very easy thing to have a way to earn money. Everyone else present turned their attention to Lin Fan. From the start of the gathering, Liu Yuhang, Sun Luguo, Song Jiaxin, and Tan Shengyu had all gathered around Lin Fan. One had to know¡­ These three people were all very influential people in the circle. To be treated like this, it was definitely not simple. As for Tan Shengyu¡­ He was even trying to curry favor with Lin Fan at all times. Lin Fan thought about it and was about to speak. [Ding! Mission triggered: get rich together! Lead at least three people to earn more than 100 million yuan. Reward: 5 silver packets.] When Lin Fan heard this, his eyes moved slightly. ¡°Actually, I do have some ways to earn money,¡± he said after a while. ¡°Haha, I knew it!¡± Liu Yuhang said happily, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, hurry up and give us your guidance!¡± Everyone else present was also interested. Lin Fan said, ¡°I obtained insider information about a batch of listed companies¡­ If you believe me, you can give me some money to operate for three days. I don¡¯t dare to promise much, but I can guarantee a profit of more than 20%.¡± Obviously, Lin Fan was prepared to use the 100 stock trend cards for the next three days. As for 20%, it was a very conservative statement. ¡°I believe you, I believe you way too much!¡± Liu Yuhang said excitedly. In his opinion, the Zhou family must be the ones who provided the insider information about these listed companies. What kind of family was the Zhou family? One of the top families in Hua Nation! How could the information they provided be fake? This was the best opportunity to earn money. If he missed it, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life! ¡°Brother Lin Fan, is there a limit to the investment amount?¡± Sun Luguo asked. Clearly, he believed Lin Fan too. One had to know that Lin Fan was someone who had even saved Qin Weiming. How could he not believe his words? Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, ¡°It¡¯s best if it doesn¡¯t exceed ten billion.¡± He still remembered that after using the stock trend card for the next three days, the purchase amount of a single stock should be less than 1% of the stock¡¯s market value. With this calculation, it should not be a problem for him to buy less than ten billion. Less than ten billion? These words¡­ Everyone was shocked. Even though everyone¡¯s family assets were more than ten billion yuan, most of them were just fixed assets. Ten billion yuan? They might not be able to take out that sum of money. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, do you want to play big?¡± Sun Luguo asked. ¡°Not necessarily. It depends on you guys,¡± Lin Fan said casually. Today¡¯s situation made Lin Fan and the others more familiar. Lin Fan felt that they were not bad people. There was also the system¡¯s mission. That was why he wanted to bring everyone along to earn some money. However, if everyone did not believe him, Lin Fan did not mind. Losing a mission was nothing. Liu Yuhang rubbed his chin. ¡°No more than ten billion? I have to go home and discuss it with the old man and the others¡­ By the way, Brother Fan, when are you going to start?¡± ¡°I have to discuss it with the old master,¡± Sun Luguo said. They all had to go home and discuss it with their elders. Obviously, they were prepared to make a big deal out of it. Did they really believe that Lin Fan had insider information about some listed companies? Was this kind of thing not usually a lie? Everyone looked at Lin Fan in shock. Song Jiaxin, who was beside him, said, ¡°Since Lin Fan wants to make a move, then, of course, I can¡¯t miss it. I¡¯ll get my family to take out 500 million first. Let¡¯s see how much we can gather in a short period of time.¡± She directly promised to give Lin Fan at least 500 million to invest! Everyone¡¯s jaws dropped. 500 million! This was definitely not a small number. Everyone present might be able to fork out 500 million. However, if all the money was lost¡­ Their family¡¯s capital chain would probably be completely broken. It was not impossible for a family to fall if they were not careful! Song Jiaxin trusted Lin Fan just like that? She¡­ She really believed Lin Fan. Firstly, she believed in him. Secondly, she believed in Lin Fan¡¯s abilities. Song Jiaxin knew that Lin Fan had solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, and even invented the earthquake prediction device! He was definitely a great scientist! Would such a great scientist invest without confidence? As for stealing the money? That was even more unnecessary. This was because she was afraid that such a great scientist would lack money. If he needed it, countless people, even the country, would fight to give him money! ¡°The day after tomorrow. If you want to invest in me, just let me know. If you don¡¯t want to, it¡¯s okay,¡± Lin Fan said. Duan Qian said, ¡°There¡¯s still one more day¡­ Alright, I¡¯ll go back and gather some money first. I just don¡¯t know if I can persuade the old master.¡± ¡°I need to go back and prepare.¡± ¡°I need to discuss it too.¡± ¡­ Initially, everyone did not care too much about investments. However, seeing how serious Liu Yuhang, Sun Luguo, and Song Jiaxin were, they were shocked. They were even willing to fork out hundreds of millions of dollars. They were also concerned. Today¡¯s party ended early because of the investment. At night, everyone returned to their respective homes. At this moment, other than Lin Fan, they were all pulled into a group called ¡®Future¡¯ by Song Jiaxin. Song Jiaxin: ¡°Lin Fan said that within three days, he can get at least 20% of the profits. But I believe that you guys aren¡¯t stupid. High returns always mean high risks. No one can predict the future. [So, even if we don¡¯t get 20% of the profits in the end or even suffer losses, I hope nobody will jump out and blame anyone. [If you¡¯re already prepared, then you can give the money to Lin Fan. If not, then don¡¯t give it to him! At that time, no one will say anything.] Liu Yuhang said: [Sister Jiaxin is right. We¡¯re all adults. We should be responsible for our own decisions! However, I believe in Brother Lin Fan!] Sun Luguo: [I just talked to the old man. I¡¯ll transfer 400 million yuan to Brother Lin Fan tomorrow.] Liu Yuhang: [Coincidentally, I¡¯m prepared to transfer 500 million yuan to Brother Lin Fan.] Duan Qian: [Brother Lin Fan is helping us earn money¡­ Even if we lose money, we definitely won¡¯t say anything. The only pity is that my old man is still angry¡­ I don¡¯t know how much money I can get tomorrow.] Tan Shengyu: [It¡¯s a little late today. I¡¯m going to discuss it with the old man tomorrow¡­ However, I¡¯ve already decided to hand over all my savings over the years to Brother Lin Fan. Brother Lin Fan, charge!] Xu Songquan: [I can only discuss it with my family tomorrow.] Zhang Bin: [Me too¡­] Chapter 164 - 164 Increase Investment; Start Earning Revenue! 164 Increase Investment; Start Earning Revenue! Lin Fan had no idea what was happening in the Future group. At this moment, he arrived at the 25th floor of his residential building in Yi Ke City. When Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian saw Lin Fan, their faces were filled with smiles. Ever since Lin Fan bought the entire building in Yi Ke City, they had not seen him for two days. Absence made the heart grow fonder¡­ They were even happier when they met again. At night, the entire building belonged to them. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ The sun shone on the incense burner and produced purple smoke. From a distance, one could see the smoke form a waterfall that extended into a river. ¡­ The next day. When Lin Fan opened his eyes, there was already a message on his phone. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 3,670,100 yuan was deposited into your account.] He would earn more than three million yuan every day when he woke up. Then, Lin Fan washed up and ate breakfast. He went to school and began his leisurely student life again. In the blink of an eye, it was 12:00 in the afternoon. The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 19,999 yuan.] It seemed like he had used up all his good luck a while ago. Lin Fan only received 42,119 yuan from today¡¯s red packets. In the afternoon, Lin Fan sat in his seat and casually looked at his phone. He would yawn from time to time. At this moment, Song Jiaxin slowly walked over. ¡°Lin Fan, my family has prepared 700 million. Liu Yuhang and Sun Luguo each prepared 600 million. Tan Shengyu prepared 100 million, Zhang Bin prepared 100 million, and Duan Qian prepared four million¡­ Which account should I transfer all of the funds to?¡± Yesterday, Song Jiaxin said she would prepare 500 million, Sun Luguo said he would prepare 400 million, and Liu Yuhang said he would prepare 500 million. Today, the amount of money they prepared had increased. Clearly, they trusted Lin Fan. ¡°My Merchant Bank account,¡± said Lin Fan. Then, Lin Fan wrote down his account number. ¡°Alright.¡± Song Jiaxin nodded. After Song Jiaxin left, Song Yi could not help but say, ¡°Brother Lin Fan¡­ 700 million? 600 million? W-What¡¯s all that about?¡± Zheng Jinbao and Ma Zhong pricked up their ears. Clearly, they were also very curious. ¡°Oh¡­ Money,¡± Lin Fan said casually. Silence. The surroundings suddenly fell silent. They had heard it very clearly just now. One had prepared 700 million, two had prepared 600 million, two more had prepared 100 million, and one had prepared four million! In other words, Lin Fan would receive a total of 2.104 billion! What a terrifying number! It was an astronomical figure that they had never seen in their entire lives! In fact, they had never even seen four million before, let alone 2.104 billion! Lin Fan looked at their stunned expressions and could not help but laugh. ¡°They asked me to help invest this money.¡± These words¡­ He wondered if they had heard him. They were still in a dazed state and had not recovered from their shock. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 2.104 billion yuan was deposited into your account.] Seeing this, Lin Fan directly sent a message to Song Jiaxin: [Received.] On the other hand, in the Future Group. Xu Songquan and the others took the initiative to leave the group. After all, this was a group that was set up for the people who wanted to let Lin Fan help them invest. They were not investing, so they did not have the face to stay. Today, they told the elders about the investment. Some of them were short of money because their families had been tight on funds recently. Some people did not trust Lin Fan. Firstly, Lin Fan was too young. Secondly, they were not familiar with Lin Fan. Out of careful consideration, their family chose to give up on the investment. Xu Songquan and the others did have some money in their hands, but it was only a few million yuan. They needed to spend money. In addition, they felt that it was a little embarrassing to invest such a small amount of money. Therefore, they simply did not invest. However, they did not know how much they would lose if they did not invest. Liu Zhenyu: [Duan Qian, not bad! You actually managed to get four million!] Duan Qian replied: [I only got the four million yuan by pawning all the figurines I bought before, as well as the gifts my father and parents gave me.] Liu Zhenyu: [F*ck! Awesome!] Duan Qian: [Of course! I¡¯m just waiting for Brother Lin Fan to help me increase my value!] Liu Zhenyu: [If you lose the money, don¡¯t cry.] Duan Qian: [It doesn¡¯t matter. Those things are useless to me anyway.] Sun Luguo: [Tan Shengyu, Zhang Bin, have you explained the situation to your elders? You have to be responsible for all the profits and losses.] [No problem!] [My family has no problem with it either!] Obviously, Liu Yuhang and Sun Luguo were helping Lin Fan by giving this reminder. ¡­. After school, Lin Fan went straight to the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex. Then, he turned his attention to the system. [Do you want to sign in?] ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Jiaye Office Building.] Jiaye Office Building was a high-end office building in the center of Jiangbei City. It was located near the Baijia Building that Lin Fan obtained last time. According to the market price, it was worth more than one billion. ¡°Another office building?¡± Lin Fan muttered. ¡°It¡¯s alright, I guess.¡± He lay on the soft sofa and casually scrolled through his phone. Time flowed like water. In the blink of an eye, the sky turned dark. Lin Fan stretched and said, ¡°It¡¯s a little boring¡­ Forget it, I¡¯ll start managing my finances today.¡± [Do you wish to use the 100 stock trend cards for the next three days?] Instantly, the charts of 100 stocks for three days appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. Among them, there were 40 Hua Nation stocks and 60 American stocks. If it were an ordinary person, even if they knew the trend chart of these stocks, it would probably be difficult to maximize profits. However, Lin Fan was different. He had Professor-Level Mathematics Experience, so calculating these charts was as easy as eating for him. He easily knew how to get the most out of it. Lin Fan quickly logged into the M Nation stock account that he had already registered and transferred his 105,200,000, as well as Song Jiaxin, Sun Luguo, Liu Yuhang, Tan Shengyu, Zhang Bin, and Duan Qian¡¯s 2,104,000,000 into the stock account. Then, at the right time, he would buy several stocks that had fallen to the lowest point in batches. This was because M Nation¡¯s stocks implemented the T+0 mechanism. Therefore, Lin Fan could sell these stocks near the highest point and buy them again when they were near the lowest point. This repeated over and over again¡­ In just an hour, Lin Fan¡¯s funds had increased by 7%. Lin Fan was no longer interested in money. However, looking at the number that kept increasing, he still felt a trace of interest. Hence, Lin Fan spent the entire night working non-stop. When the day gradually brightened, the M Nation¡¯s stock market ended. Lin Fan¡¯s actions stopped as well. In just one night, Lin Fan¡¯s earnings had reached 50%! The stock account started with 3.156 billion. After one night, it had become 4.734 billion! Simply¡­ terrifying! Chapter 165 - 165 Mission Completed; Huge Profits! 165 Mission Completed; Huge Profits! The next day, Lin Fan went to school as usual, listening to classes and sleeping. He did not buy any more Hua Nation stocks. Firstly, Hua Nation¡¯s stock market implemented the T+1 system, and there was a 10% limit. Even if he bought the rare ¡®Earth-Sky Board,¡¯ his daily earnings would only be 20%. Furthermore, the 40 Hua Nation stocks that Lin Fan had obtained did not have the Earth-Sky Board. Secondly, it was even better to gain from Country M! Two days passed in the blink of an eye. These past two days, perhaps it was because they trusted Lin Fan, or perhaps it was because they did not want to give Lin Fan any pressure, Song Jiaxin, Liu Yuhang, Sun Luguo, and the others did not come to ask about the situation. Lin Fan was happy. On the first day, Lin Fan earned 50% of the profits. On the second day, Lin Fan earned close to 70% of the profits. On the third day, Lin Fan earned close to 60% of the profits. These profits were not simply 50%+70%+60%=180%. Instead, it was the profit that was accumulated and superimposed each time. 1.5X1.7X1.6=4.08! In other words, in just three days, the profit rate was close to 408%! At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s account balance was 12.876 billion! Simply¡­ terrifying! It was a Saturday. Lin Fan slept for the entire morning and sent the investment transactions for the past three days to Song Jiaxin. Lin Fan: [The investment is over. screenshot.jpg, screenshot.jpg, screenshot.jpg¡­] After a while, his phone rang. Lin Fan had just picked up the phone when Song Jiaxin¡¯s anxious voice came from the other end. ¡°Lin Fan, what did you just send me?¡± Lin Fan was puzzled. ¡°Huh? Didn¡¯t I explain? Three days ago, didn¡¯t you transfer me 2.14 billion? Including my own 1,052,000,000, the total investment portfolio is 3,156,000,000.¡± ¡°Then how did it become 12.876 billion yuan now?¡± Song Jiaxin asked. ¡°It¡¯s an investment. I earned it,¡± Lin Fan said matter-of-factly. As soon as he said that, the phone suddenly went silent. After receiving Lin Fan¡¯s affirmation, Song Jiaxin was completely stunned. She was born into a wealthy family like the Song family and had seen a lot of money. She had also seen many cases of investment profits. However, she was still shocked by Lin Fan¡¯s actions. Three days? No! In two and a half days, he had directly turned 3.1 billion into 12.8 billion! It had increased by four times! What a shocking profit! Even a robbery would not be this fast, right? If this matter was spread out, it would definitely shock a lot of people. Senior analyst? They should all stand aside! In fact¡­ Three days ago, when she asked Lin Fan to invest the money, she felt that she would not lose out. However, she had never expected to obtain such a high profit! Lin Fan saw that there was no sound from the other end of the line. He coughed lightly and said, ¡°Jiaxin, are you still listening?¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Ah¡­ I¡¯m listening¡­¡± Only then did Song Jiaxin react and quickly respond. Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯ll take one-third of the funds, which is 4.249 billion. Where should I transfer the remaining 8.627 billion? Do I send it back the way it came?¡± It had to be said that Song Jiaxin was indeed the daughter of the Song family. After a short period of shock, she quickly recovered completely. ¡°The rest of the funds can be returned,¡± Song Jiaxin said. ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied and quickly operated. Not long after, Song Jiaxin received a notification from her bank. Then, she sent a message to the Future Group. Song Jiaxin: [Lin Fan¡¯s investment has ended. He has already returned the capital and profits to my bank account. [The total amount is 8.627 billion. [You didn¡¯t read it wrong. It¡¯s 8.627 billion!] Liu Yuhang was speechless. Sun Luguo: [F*ck!] Tan Shengyu: [F*ck!] Zhang Bin: [F*ck!] Duan Qian: [F*ck!] ¡­ The entire group was instantly flooded with comments. Sun Luguo: [Three days? No! In two and a half days, our profit rate has reached more than 400%?] Sun Luguo: [Am I dreaming?] Liu Yuhang: [Are you dreaming? Simple! I¡¯ll just slap you and we¡¯ll know!] In the past, Sun Luguo would definitely have argued with Liu Yuhang. Now, he did not have such unnecessary thoughts. Sun Luguo: [How did Brother Lin Fan get such a high profit in such a short time?] Song Jiaxin uploaded all the screenshots that Lin Fan had sent her into the group. Sun Luguo: [This¡­ is¡­ simply¡­ unbelievable!] That was because he had compared the nodes of each transaction and realized that Lin Fan had almost always bought at the lowest point and sold at the highest point. Such a concentrated operation, yet not a single one of them missed! This was simply¡­ It was as if he could predict the future! However, Sun Luguo understood that it was impossible for anyone in this world to predict the future! The only explanation was that Lin Fan really had insider information about these listed companies and had excellent trading skills! However, what he did not know was that Lin Fan had the system and could really predict the future! Song Jiaxin: [Yes, unbelievable! [Originally, Lin Fan could enjoy this wealth alone. But he took a huge risk and shared it with us! He did us a favor! He did it out of love! He did it out of righteousness! [I don¡¯t want anyone to act out of line. No one can forget this act of kindness or bite the hand that fed us!] Sun Luguo said: [If such a thing happens, I¡¯ll be the first to not let them off!] Tan Shengyu: [I¡¯ll be the second!] Liu Yuhang: [Then I¡¯m the third?] Tan Shengyu: [That person would be the third.] Liu Yuhang: [Alright, then I¡¯ll be the second one!] Zhang Bin: [We would never do such a thing.] Duan Qian: [That¡¯s right! [Hehe! Does that mean I can get 16 million? I think I can already see a Lamborghini waving at me! Hahaha!] ¡­ Naturally, Lin Fan had no idea about the Future group. At this moment, a clear notification sounded in his mind. [Ding! Mission completed: get rich together! Lead at least three people to earn more than 100 million yuan. You¡¯ve received five silver packets.] When Lin Fan heard that, he sat up straight and said, ¡°Have I finally completed the mission? Alright, let¡¯s see what we can get. ¡°Open the five silver packets!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one million yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the food critical hit card.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 300,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 400,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 700,000 yuan.] Lin Fan placed his attention on the food critical hit card. [Food critical hit card: after eating, you can randomly receive 100 to 10,000 times the cashback reward.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan pursed his lips and said, ¡°These few silver packets are useless.¡± Useless? If others heard this, who knew what they would think? From the five silver packets, he got a total of 2.4 million yuan. As for the food critical hit card, after eating, he could get a 100 to 10,000 times cashback reward. If he found an expensive restaurant, spent hundreds of thousands of yuan, and received a thousand-fold return¡­ he could directly obtain several hundred million! This was not good? Chapter 166 - 166 Invitation; Housekeeping Service! 166 Invitation; Housekeeping Service! Then, Lin Fan turned his attention to the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! You¡¯ve successfully signed in. You¡¯ve received ten million yuan.] Lin Fan sighed, ¡°Ten million again today? Why am I so unlucky?¡± For the past few days, Lin Fan kept earning ten million yuan from the sign-in. In addition to the three million he earned from breathing, walking, and sleeping, his daily minimum income was more than 13 million. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s liquid funds had already reached 4.312 billion! This was a person¡¯s liquid capital! If others knew about this, they would definitely be shocked. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and realized that it was an unknown number from Zhe City. Zhe City? ¡®I don¡¯t think I know anyone there, right?¡¯ Lin Fan was a little puzzled and slowly pressed the answer button. ¡°Hello, is this Mr. Lin?¡± A low voice came from the phone. ¡°It¡¯s me. Who are you?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m Little Tanuki¡¯s Da Ma.¡± Da Ma laughed casually as if he was a good friend of Lin Fan¡¯s and they had not seen each other for many years. Little Tanuki only had one Da Ma, and that was the chairman of Little Tanuki! He could definitely be called a legendary figure. If it was someone else who suddenly received a call from Da Ma, they would probably be shocked and incoherent. However, Lin Fan had recently received a call from the president of LV and Gucci, so he had some experience in talking to people at the president level. Therefore, he was not too surprised. ¡°So, it¡¯s President Ma. Hello,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°I just came back from a business trip a few days ago and found out that you¡¯ve bought 5% of our Little Tanuki Group¡¯s shares. It¡¯s my fault for not contacting you earlier. It¡¯s a little rude¡­ and I apologize to you,¡± Da Ma said. Lin Fan smiled, ¡°Mr. Da Ma, I don¡¯t mind it. It¡¯s just a small matter.¡± ¡°Haha! Mr. Lin, you sure are generous! I¡¯m relieved to hear that!¡± Da Ma said happily. Then, the two of them continued to exchange pleasantries. Da Ma finally revealed the true purpose of this call. ¡°By the way, Mr. Lin, tomorrow morning, Jiangbei will be holding an internet conference. Many large domestic internet companies will be attending. I¡¯m going there too¡­ ¡°I wonder if you¡¯re free to attend tomorrow? When the time comes, we can have a meal together. What do you think?¡± Internet conference? These few days, when Lin Fan went out, he often saw relevant news about it at bus stops, LED screens, and other places. He was already curious. Lin Fan replied, ¡°I¡¯ll go tomorrow.¡± ¡°Okay, okay. See you tomorrow, then,¡± Da Ma said happily. Not long after Lin Fan hung up, his phone rang again. This time, it was an unknown number from Shen City. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± The voice on the phone was very refined and gave off a classy feeling. Lin Fan said, ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Pony from Penguin Holdings. Thank you for your recognition of Penguin Holdings and for acquiring 5% of its shares,¡± Xiao Ma said. He was just on the phone with Da Ma and now Xiao Ma was calling him? Lin Fan was stunned for a moment before saying, ¡°President Xiao Ma, you¡¯re too polite.¡± Xiao Ma said, ¡°I¡¯m going to attend the internet conference in Jiangbei tomorrow. I wonder if you¡¯d like to come and take a look? When the time comes, we can have a meal together. What do you think, Mr. Lin?¡± ¡°No problem,¡± Lin Fan said. After all, he had just promised President Da Ma. There was nothing wrong with agreeing to President Xiao Ma¡¯s request, right? Wait a minute¡­ He had already accepted President Da Ma¡¯s invitation? Lin Fan seemed to have thought of something. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a commotion coming from the phone. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Lin,¡± Xiao Ma said. ¡°I still have some things to take care of. See you tomorrow.¡± Then, he hung up. Lin Fan was left standing there, hesitating. He had just promised President Da Ma a meal, and now he had promised President Xiao Ma a meal? Forget it, they would all just eat together. At the thought of this, Lin Fan did not think any further. He looked around and frowned slightly. Lin Fan had been staying in this villa for the past few days to invest in the stock market. He had never been a person who paid much attention to cleanliness, so the entire villa had become a little messy. The area of each Coiling Dragon Villa was more than 800 square meters. How could Lin Fan clean the place up himself? Would that not be too exhausting? Hence, Lin Fan took out his phone and searched for a good housekeeping company before making a call. ¡°Hello, Ai Er Housekeeping at your service.¡± A crisp and sweet voice came from the phone. After chatting for a while, Lin Fan hung up. About half an hour later, the doorbell rang. After Lin Fan opened the door, a beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes, willowy eyebrows, cherry lips, fair skin, and a voluptuous figure walked in slowly with a plastic basket in her slender hands. ¡°Housekeeper Ai Er at your service,¡± the beauty said softly. Her voice was like the sound of spring water, crisp and pleasant to the ear. Lin Fan could not help but be stunned for a moment. He could not help but use his Eye of Truth to examine the other party. [Appearance: 95] [Favorability: 40] 95 points in appearance? Did all the housekeepers hire such good-looking people now? Was she preparing to do housework or something else? Seeing Lin Fan staring at her caused the pretty girl to blush and lower her head. ¡°Are you Mr. Lin?¡± she asked. ¡°Ah¡­ It¡¯s me. Housekeeper Ai Er, right? Then come in and clean up,¡± Lin Fan said. The beautiful woman heard him and followed him in. She changed into shoe covers and put on an apron. Initially, Lin Fan had thought that a beauty of this level would only be cleaning for show and that she did not have any good cleaning skills. However, Lin Fan observed for a while and realized that he was wrong. Whether it was wiping the table, mopping the floor, or tidying up the clothes¡­ the beauty did everything meticulously and methodically. After a while, the table and the floor became like mirrors. The clothes were folded into squares, looking very pleasing to the eye. About three hours later, the entire villa looked brand new as if it had never been lived in before. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s face was filled with satisfaction. Living in a brand-new house was simply a pleasure. ¡°Mr. Lin, do you think there¡¯s anything else that needs to be cleaned?¡± the beauty asked. Lin Fan shook his head. ¡°No, you did a good job.¡± ¡°Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Lin,¡± the beauty said. After she finished speaking, she was about to take off her apron and leave. At this moment, Lin Fan said, ¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry to leave. Do you know how to cook?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The beauty was stunned. Chapter 167 - 167 Delicious; Grandmas Taste! 167 Delicious; Grandma¡¯s Taste! These few days, Lin Fan had been trading stocks in the villa. For a moment, he suddenly had the urge to cook in the villa. Therefore, he bought a lot of groceries. When he bought them, he swore he would cook. However, after cooking a dish, he completely gave up on the idea of cooking. As a result, there was still a lot of food stored in his double-door refrigerator. Lin Fan saw that the beauty was stunned and said, ¡°How about I charge twice the rate of housekeeping if you cook for me?¡± The beautiful woman hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°Uh¡­ Alright¡­¡± As the sound of water came from the kitchen, high-quality cabbage, premium lean meat, chicken, fresh prawns, ribs¡­ The food was all prepared by the beauty. Then, smoke appeared and a fragrance filled the air. Dishes with bright colors were served one after another. Lin Fan picked up a piece of rib and put it in his mouth. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, full of fragrance. Then, he tasted the cabbage, green pepper, and shredded pork. He also scooped a bowl of soup¡­ Every dish tasted really good. Lin Fan could even taste Grandma¡¯s cooking in the food. Grandma¡¯s cooking? That was right! That was because Lin Fan lived in the countryside with his grandparents when he was young. When he was a child, all he could remember was the taste of his grandmother¡¯s food. At that time, his family was very poor. However, his grandparents were willing to suffer on their own and often prepared all kinds of meat dishes for Lin Fan to eat. As he tasted the food in front of him, Lin Fan could even hear his grandparents¡¯ voices. ¡°Lil Fan, you¡¯re growing now. Come, eat more meat.¡± ¡°Lil Fan, try this rib.¡± As he thought about it, Lin Fan¡¯s heart could not help but ache. The beautiful lady saw Lin Fan staring blankly at the food that she had cooked. His eyes were red. She could not help but ask, ¡°Sir, is the smoke too strong?¡± Lin Fan shook his head. ¡°The food¡¯s too delicious.¡± ¡°Oh right, I forgot to ask. What¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°My name is Su Ningjing,¡± the beauty said softly. Su Ningjing? He liked her name. Lin Fan said, ¡°Su Ningjing, are you interested in coming to my place to do housework and cooking? The salary is 15,000 yuan per month. ¡°Also, you don¡¯t have to come to work every day. Because I don¡¯t live here every day. ¡°But¡­ when I come over to stay, you can help me clean and cook. ¡°Of course, you can also stay here and help manage the villa.¡± A salary of 15,000? Su Ningjing was completely stunned. One had to know¡­ Su Ningjing¡¯s current salary was only 5,000 yuan per month. This was three times more! Moreover, she did not need to clean every day? She could even live in the villa? This was simply¡­ It was as if a huge pie had fallen on her head. It made Su Ningjing feel surreal. Seeing that Su Ningjing did not answer, Lin Fan continued, ¡°Su Ningjing, what do you think?¡± Only then did Su Ningjing say, ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m actually not a housekeeper for Ai Er Housekeeping.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Fan¡¯s face was filled with puzzlement. ¡°I¡¯m the liaison officer for Ai Er Housekeeping¡­Our Ai Er Housekeeping has a rule that we have to provide door-to-door service within an hour. However, we were really too busy today, so¡­ I came out to help at the last minute,¡± Su Ningjing replied. Lin Fan said, ¡°But you seem to be quite skilled at cleaning. Have you been trained?¡± ¡°I¡¯m used to doing it at home,¡± Su Ning said quietly. Lin Fan nodded his head. ¡°Then what do you think of my suggestion?¡± Su Ningjing raised her head and quietly observed Lin Fan. In fact, this was not the first time she had observed Lin Fan. From the moment she entered the door, she had been very vigilant. It was because Su Ningjing knew that she was very beautiful and would easily meet bad people. She was not bragging, but similar things had happened many times before. Someone even suggested that he could support her by giving her 50,000 yuan a month. Su Ningjing¡¯s family background was not good, but she was a very self-respecting and self-loving person. When facing such bad people, she always kept a respectful distance. Ever since she came to the Coiling Dragon Villa, she noticed that Lin Fan was only a little surprised when he first saw her. After that, everything was normal. Right now, Lin Fan¡¯s tone was even calmer, devoid of any other desires. In addition, the price of 15,000 yuan was considered relatively reasonable. If Lin Fan had said that he would give her 50,000 or 100,000, Su Ningjing would have rejected him. All in all, Lin Fan really wanted her to help with the housework and cooking. However, Su Ningjing still hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°I¡­ Can you consider it?¡± If Su Ningjing knew that Lin Fan met women who were as good-looking as her every day, she probably would not need to consider it anymore. ¡°Of course, you can. However, it¡¯s best not to take too long,¡± Lin Fan said. Lin Fan was willing to wait for a beautiful lady who could clean the place seriously and meticulously, cook delicious food, and was beautiful. ¡°T-Thank you,¡± Su Ningjing said quietly. Then, Lin Fan picked up another piece of food and put it into his mouth. He kept nodding. Lin Fan said, ¡°What are you standing there for? There are so many dishes. Let¡¯s sit down and eat together. After you finish eating, you can clear the dishes and get off work. Don¡¯t worry, during this period of time, I¡¯ll pay you twice the salary of a housekeeper.¡± ¡°I¡­ I¡¯ll eat later,¡± Su Ningjing pinched her fingers and said. ¡°While I¡¯m waiting, you don¡¯t have to pay me,¡± she said after a pause. Lin Fan was amused by Su Ningjing¡¯s serious look. He said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. Sit down and let¡¯s eat together.¡± Su Ningjing stood at the side with her head lowered and did not move at all. Lin Fan understood that she was a stubborn girl. He did not force her. For this meal, Lin Fan ate two big bowls of rice, drank two big bowls of soup, and ate quite a few dishes¡­ Only then did he walk to the sofa and sit down contentedly. When Su Ningjing saw this¡­ Only then did she pick up her bowl and chopsticks. She lowered her head and started eating silently. In order to save money, Su Ningjing ate noodles, steamed buns, and salted vegetables every day. Therefore, even though the food was only a little warm, she ate happily. In the end, she finished all the remaining food. At the same time, her originally flat stomach completely bulged and she could not help but burp. With the sound of running water, all the cutlery and the kitchen were quickly cleaned up. There was not a trace of smoke. Using the word ¡®clever¡¯ to describe her was the most appropriate. Lin Fan looked at the dark sky and said, ¡°It¡¯s getting late. Let me send you back.¡± ¡°No, no, no. No need, I can go back by myself,¡± Su Ningjing said. Chapter 168 - 168 Internet Conference; A Fantasy! 168 Internet Conference; A Fantasy! Su Ningjing walked out of the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex and came to the nearby bus stop. Only then did she realize that the bus had stopped running. Helpless, she could only continue moving forward. On the road, there were cars passing by from time to time. However, Su Ningjing did not seem to see them. She just lowered her head and kept walking forward. Honk, honk. At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly appeared behind her, and a honk sounded. Su Ningjing could not help but turn around slowly. She saw¡­ A cool supercar parked behind her. The car window rolled down, revealing Lin Fan sitting inside. ¡°The buses have stopped running. Why didn¡¯t you take a taxi?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°I¡­ My place isn¡¯t far,¡± Su Ningjing lowered her head and said. ¡°It¡¯s not safe to walk alone at night. Get in the car. I¡¯ll send you back,¡± Lin Fan said. When Su Ning heard this, she immediately thought of the terrifying news of some girls encountering criminals when they walked at night. ¡°Thank you.¡± After saying that, she got into the car. Boom! As Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator, the entire car sped away. It was obviously Su Ningjing¡¯s first time sitting in a supercar. She held onto the armrest tightly, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her pretty face. It felt as if the car could fly into the sky at any moment. About 20 minutes later, Lin Fan finally stopped at an old residential building. ¡°Is this where you live?¡± Lin Fan asked. One had to know¡­ There was no traffic jam at night. Lin Fan did not even wait for any traffic lights. Even so, he had to drive for nearly 20 minutes. If Su Ningjing had walked on her two legs, it would probably have taken at least two hours! Su Ningjing lowered her head as Lin Fan stared at her. Her face turned red. When Lin Fan saw this, he said helplessly, ¡°Alright, go on up.¡± ¡°T-Thank you,¡± Su Ningjing said softly. ¡­ At this moment, Lin Fan was not too far away from Teacher Tiantian¡¯s house. Therefore, he did not return to the Coiling Dragon Villa and went straight to Teacher Hu Tian¡¯s house. The doorbell rang, and Teacher Tiantian walked out in her furry pajamas. Her hair was still a little wet, and it emitted a fragrance. Obviously, she had just taken a shower. ¡°You¡¯re here?¡± Hu Tian said happily. Then, she threw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s arms. Outside, she was a serious teacher. However, at home, she was a woman waiting for her lover. Since it was Saturday, there was no class tomorrow. Tonight, they were even more tired than usual. ¡­ The next day, a warm ray of sunlight shone on the windowsill. Lin Fan finally opened his eyes. At this moment, a very exquisite breakfast was already placed on the dining table in the living room. ¡°Yes! The taste is still as delicious!¡± Lin Fan praised. ¡°If it¡¯s delicious, then eat more,¡± Hu Tian said with a smile. Lin Fan nodded and stuffed a large mouthful of noodles into his mouth. He then asked, ¡°By the way, I¡¯m going to the internet conference later. Do you want to go with me?¡± ¡°My understanding of the internet is limited to simple operations such as PowerPoint and online messaging. I won¡¯t join in the fun.¡± Hu Tian shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯ll just stay at home and catch up on my sleep.¡± As she spoke, Hu Tian could not help but yawn. Lin Fan agreed. ¡°You were a little tired last night¡­ Alright, then you should rest well at home.¡± Soon, Lin Fan finished a big bowl of noodles, two glutinous rice cakes, and a cup of soybean milk¡­ Then, he drove the Lamborghini that he had driven over last night and headed toward the venue of the internet conference. ¡­. This year¡¯s Internet Conference was held at the exhibition center in Jiangbei City. At this moment, the entire exhibition center was covered in flowers and colorful flags. Groups of men and women in suits and leather shoes were walking in. From time to time, they would make a sound of discussion. ¡°President Zhang, long time no see!¡± ¡°Hello, President Liu!¡± ¡°CEO Huang, haha! That app of yours is really good! You have a bright future ahead of you!¡± ¡°You¡¯re really flattering me!¡± ¡­ Among these people, there were big shots in the internet industry. They came with the goal of exchanging experiences and discovering new projects. There were also strivers and entrepreneurs on the internet. They hoped to meet the big shots here, and at the same time, seek the attention of the big shots for their projects. If they could get one or two big shots interested, then their company would take off instantly! Among them was Qiao Shiya, who had once gone on a blind date with Lin Fan. Qiao Shiya was wearing a white shirt and black trousers today. She looked very capable. She looked at the internet big shots that often appeared on television and the internet in the distance, her entire face flushed with excitement. ¡°Shiya, do you remember everything about our products?¡± the bald man beside her asked. ¡°Today¡¯s Internet Conference is very grand. It wasn¡¯t easy for us to get the time to go on stage to promote it! ¡°Even President Da Ma and President Xiao Ma will come personally. If we get their recognition¡­ then our company can soar to the sky! ¡°Do you understand the importance of this?¡± During this period of time, in order to pay for her younger brother¡¯s school fees, Qiao Shiya had to work very hard in the company. Her hard work was seen by the leaders. In addition, Qiao Shiya¡¯s looks were not bad. The leaders felt that she could be considered for a bonus. That was why they chose her. ¡°Please rest assured. I¡¯ll definitely complete the mission perfectly!¡± Qiao Shiya said solemnly. The bald man nodded in satisfaction. This Internet Conference involved many big shots. In order to prevent accidents, a security gate was set up at the entrance. Many people stood in front of the security gate to be checked. eep! When Qiao Shiya walked through the security gate, like many people, there was a soft sound. Then, under the instructions of the security officer, she took out her phone, wallet, and other items. While she was being checked, she unexpectedly saw a familiar figure walking straight through the VIP passage. ¡°Lin Fan?¡± Qiao Shiya muttered softly. ¡°Alright, you can go in now,¡± said the security officer. ¡°Ah¡­ Alright,¡± Qiao Shiya replied. The bald man behind her seemed to have noticed that Qiao Shiya was a little distracted and could not help but ask, ¡°Did you see someone familiar?¡± Qiao Shiya shook her head. Was it a blur? That was right! This was what Qiao Shiya thought. One had to know¡­ Only a few internet tycoons were qualified to walk through the VIP channel. As for Lin Fan? He was just a real estate agent. Him taking the VIP passage? That was simply a fantasy! Chapter 169 - 169 Regret, Sadness! 169 Regret, Sadness! In the venue, the crowd surged, and it was extremely lively. Everyone chatted as they walked, not willing to miss any opportunity to make friends. After all, such an opportunity was too rare. A moment later, everyone found their seats and sat down. At this moment, a man in a suit with smooth hair and a medium build slowly walked onto the stage. ¡°Welcome, everyone. You¡¯ve come from all over the country and from thousands of miles away to participate in the Internet Conference¡­¡± The man in the suit first gave an opening speech on the stage. He seemed to have noticed that no one was interested in his words. Hence, he quickly got to the main topic. ¡°Perhaps, some people are not very clear¡­ More than ten years ago, President Da Ma of Little Tanuki Group and President Xiao Ma of Penguin Group also participated in the Internet Conference. Moreover, they even chatted on stage for a long time. ¡°Today, we¡¯re fortunate enough to invite both presidents again. I wonder what they¡¯ll say today? President Da Ma and President Xiao Ma, please come on stage.¡± Immediately, the entire venue erupted into extremely enthusiastic applause. Da Ma and Xiao Ma could be said to be legendary people. The reason why many of them chose the internet industry was because of their admiration for them. Now that their idols were about to go on stage, they naturally welcomed them. More people wanted to get the favor of both presidents, wanting them to invest in their own companies. Clapping might deepen their impression of them, so naturally, the harder they clapped, the better. Amidst everyone¡¯s cheers, both presidents finally walked onto the stage. Da Ma said, ¡°The host was right. President Xiao Ma and I did stand on the stage together more than ten years ago. It¡¯s fate that we can come up again today. ¡°But there¡¯s something different.¡± Back then, President Xiao Ma and I were just newcomers to the internet world. We didn¡¯t chat on stage for long. We only said a few words before we were chased aside.¡± The crowd immediately burst into laughter. It had to be said that the fact that Da Ma could become a big shot in the current internet industry was indeed due to his ability. With just a few words, the originally serious Internet Conference became much more relaxed. Xiao Ma said, ¡°President Da Ma is right. If I remember correctly, we probably just exchanged four sentences. After that, we went down. It can also be considered as us just showing our faces. ¡°We showed our faces and spent more than ten years to reach our current level¡­ Therefore, the Internet Conference is a very good platform. ¡°Today, if you have the chance, come and show your faces and say a few more words¡­ You¡¯ll definitely be better off than us in the future¡­¡± The two of them chatted for a while on the stage before getting ready to leave. At this moment, there was the sound of brisk footsteps in the distance. Lin Fan walked in slowly. Seeing this¡­ Da Ma and Xiao Ma¡¯s eyes lit up slightly. They had always been curious about the person who had bought 5% of their company¡¯s shares. He had long wanted to meet him. Then, Da Ma and Xiao Ma walked up together and took the initiative to extend their hands. They smiled and said, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± This scene¡­ Everyone in the venue saw it. Everyone was shocked and guessed Lin Fan¡¯s identity. He was greeted by two internet tycoons at the same time, and he looked so young? It was hard to imagine. Actually, this was normal. After all, President Da Ma only held 8% of his company¡¯s shares while Lin Fan held 5%. He became the third largest shareholder! President Xiao Ma only held 4.8% of the company¡¯s shares while Lin Fan held 5%. From this point, Lin Fan even held more shares than President Xiao Ma and was the second largest shareholder of the company. Lin Fan¡¯s principle was that he would respond to how others treated him. Now, both presidents greeted him and took the initiative to shake his hand. In that case, he definitely could not be rude. Hence, Lin Fan stretched out his left and right hands at the same time and shook hands with the two presidents. Qiao Shiya, who was sitting at the back, had seen the entire process of President Da Ma and President Xiao Ma walking off the stage and Lin Fan shaking hands with them. Her eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost. What was the status of Da Ma and Xiao Ma? They were the undisputed leaders of Hua Nation¡¯s internet industry. They were super-rich men worth hundreds of billions! They actually took the initiative to welcome Lin Fan and shake his hand? What was going on? Then, Qiao Shiya suddenly thought of the first time they met¡ªthe blind date. Lin Fan drove a Lamborghini and said that it was his car, but she thought that it was rented. The second time they met, it was at Lianjia Real Estate Agency. Lin Fan took out a pile of real estate certificates for Washington Palace and said that the houses were his, but she thought that he was a real estate agent. Then, in front of the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex, Lin Fan said that all the villas were his¡­She just thought that he was bragging. However, now, President Da Ma and President Xiao Ma were treating him with respect¡­ Perhaps, perhaps¡­ Was what Lin Fan said true? In an instant¡­ Regret! Endless regret! Like a tide, it surged into Qiao Shiya¡¯s heart. Endless sadness spread throughout her entire body. If she had not despised Lin Fan during the blind date, she would not have had to work so hard these past few days. In fact, she would already be driving a luxury car and living in a villa. She would be greeting and shaking hands with President Da Ma and President Xiao Ma. ¡°Shiya, you¡¯re next. Get ready.¡± The bald man beside her reminded her in a low voice. However, at this moment, Qiao Shiya¡¯s heart was filled with regret and sadness. She did not hear the bald man¡¯s words clearly. At this moment, the round-faced man standing on the stage said, ¡°Thank you, everyone.¡± Immediately, the crowd burst into loud applause. The bald man saw that Qiao Shiya was still in her seat and did not move. He could not help but push her and say, ¡°Why are you still sitting? It¡¯s your turn. Go up quickly.¡± Only then did Qiao Shiya react. However, her expression was still a little wooden, and she did not have the enthusiasm she had at the beginning. ¡°Next, let¡¯s welcome Qiao Shiya, the spokesperson of Kemo Software, onto the stage,¡± the host said. Qiao Shiya was like a walking corpse. After spending a lot of effort, she finally walked onto the stage with difficulty. She looked down and easily saw Lin Fan sitting next to President Da Ma and President Xiao Ma in the first row. Instantly, the bitterness and regret in her heart became even stronger. Qiao Shiya had something on her mind and was in no mood to give a speech. The effect of her speech was self-evident. She stuttered and even said the wrong numbers often. When she left the stage, if not for some people¡¯s politeness, there would have been a burst of sparse applause. If the audience had not bothered to be polite, her speech would probably be ignored. Chapter 170 - 170 No Job; Treat You All to Dinner! 170 No Job; Treat You All to Dinner! After Qiao Shiya returned to her seat, the bald man immediately shouted angrily. ¡°Qiao Shiya, didn¡¯t you make a guarantee back in the company? ¡°Is this how you¡¯re fighting for a promotion? ¡°Let me tell you, your bonus and job are all gone!¡± ¡­ The bald man grunted and walked out. Originally, the company participated in the Internet Conference to make friends, and the speech on stage was to make the company proud. Now? Now, it had the opposite effect! It was simply too embarrassing! The bald man did not have the mood to stay any longer. Qiao Shiya only came back to her senses after hearing the bald man¡¯s words. His bonus and job were gone? Her younger brother was still renting a house that cost 30,000 yuan a month! What should he do? At the thought of this, Qiao Shiya hurriedly said, ¡°Manager, Manager¡­ Please wait a moment¡­¡± However, the bald man did not seem to hear her at all and continued to stride away. ¡­ Lin Fan did not pay any attention to Qiao Shiya¡¯s matter. At this moment, he was sitting in the first row, quietly listening to the people who were speaking on stage. It had to be said that these people who could go on stage did have some ability. While they went on stage to promote their companies, they also talked about a lot of online knowledge. Lin Fan had Professional Hacking Skills, so he could understand all of this. Furthermore, he listened with great interest. A day of speeches passed in the blink of an eye. The sun was setting. President Da Ma and President Xiao Ma said in unison, ¡°Mr. Lin, let¡¯s go have a meal together.¡± The two of them looked at each other, and their expressions were as usual. However, they were a little wary and nervous. One had to know¡­ Penguin and Little Tanuki¡­ It could be said that they were the only two internet giants in Hua Nation. However, there was no room for two tigers on the same mountain! The two companies maintained a highly competitive relationship at all times. Now that Lin Fan had acquired 5% of both Penguin¡¯s and Little Tanuki¡¯s shares, it was obvious that he had immense strength. As such, Lin Fan¡¯s attitude was extremely important. What if¡­ Lin Fan leaned toward one party. Then that was definitely not good news! Lin Fan could feel the tension between the two of them. Rubbing his nose, he said, ¡°I¡¯ve always been in Jiangbei. I¡¯m also the host here. I¡¯ll make the arrangements today. I¡¯ll treat all of you to a meal. How about that?¡± Da Ma and Xiao Ma looked at each other and nodded in unison. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you, Mr. Lin.¡± Then, a large group of people strolled to the parking lot. Lin Fan sat in his Lamborghini. Da Ma, Xiao Ma, and the big shots of many internet companies behind them got into Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Maybach, Mercedes-Benz, and other cars. Then, Lin Fan led the way. This scene¡­ Coincidentally, everything was seen by Qiao Shiya, who was in a daze from afar. ¡°So, he really didn¡¯t rent that Lamborghini,¡± she said dejectedly. At this moment, Qiao Shiya¡¯s phone rang. ¡°Shiya, how did you do at the conference today? Is your company going to give you a big bonus soon?¡± As soon as she picked up the phone, she heard her mother, Chen Minfen¡¯s, excited voice. How was the conference? Bonus? These words were like steel needles that stabbed into Qiao Shiya¡¯s heart. Finally, hot tears flowed out of her eyes. ¡°Boo-hoo¡­¡± ¡°Shiya, why are you crying? Did someone bully you? Quickly tell me!¡± ¡°Mom, I¡¯ve been fired, and my bonus is gone,¡± Qiao Shiya said. ¡°What?¡± Chen Minfen shouted, ¡°How could this be? You lost your job and your bonus¡­Then what about your brother¡¯s studies?¡± ¡°Boo-hoo¡­¡± When Qiao Shiya heard this, she cried even harder. ¡­ Regarding these¡­ Lin Fan had no idea. At this moment, the luxury cars led by him formed a beautiful scenery on the road in Jiangbei. Everywhere they passed, people would look at them with admiration. Soon, they arrived at Jiangbei Hotel. Even Jiangbei Hotel was shocked to see so many luxury cars from afar. The attendant quickly reported the situation to the manager, Zhang Shanfeng. Zhang Shanfeng¡¯s eyesight was much better than ordinary people¡¯s. He recognized the group of people who got out of the luxury car at a glance. President of Buying Group, President of Hungry, President of Weibo, President of UA Browser, President of Jindong¡­ There was also President Da Ma and President Xiao Ma! How powerful was this group of people? Today, they suddenly came to Jiangbei Hotel? Fortunately¡­ Zhang Shanfeng was also a person who had seen many big scenes. He quickly reacted and quickly went up to meet them. At this moment, he realized that Lin Fan was also among the presidents. At this moment, Lin Fan saw Zhang Shanfeng and smiled, ¡°Manager Zhang, you¡¯re here? We want a bigger private room. Is there any available?¡± Jiangbei Hotel was popular all year round. Generally speaking, private rooms had to be reserved in advance. Furthermore, it was a big private room! However, Lin Fan was not an ordinary person. ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Zhang Shanfeng hurriedly replied. ¡°We have the best private room in Jiangbei Hotel!¡± Then, under Zhang Shanfeng¡¯s lead, the group strolled to Room 888 on the top floor of Jiangbei Hotel. Last time, Lin Fan and the leaders of Jiang Bei had eaten in this room. No matter how crowded the restaurant was or how popular the place was, this private room would usually not be opened to the public. This was because this was a luxurious private room reserved for distinguished guests. Lin Fan, Da Ma, Xiao Ma, and the other directors were obviously important guests. Everyone chatted as they walked. Only then did Zhang Shanfeng notice that Lin Fan was actually chatting happily with President Da Ma and President Xiao Ma. In fact, President Da Ma and President Xiao Ma seemed to be trying to please Lin Fan. Moreover, the reason why they came to Jiangbei Hotel today was that it was arranged by Lin Fan. This could not help but¡­ shock Zhang Shanfeng even more. The officials, Old Master Qin Weiming, as well as the leaders of Jiang province and Jiangbei were all very polite to Lin Fan. They even attended Lin Fan¡¯s grandfather¡¯s birthday banquet in person. This was already very impressive. Now, in the business world, Lin Fan actually had such a huge reputation! One had to know¡­ Even if many big shots went to their company to inspect, they might not be able to see them! Now, he had gathered so many at once! Especially President Da Ma and President Xiao Ma, who were the absolute giants in the country! They were two people who were at loggerheads with each other. How could they be sitting at the same table today? This was simply¡­ something unimaginable and inconceivable! All of this was because of Lin Fan! Chapter 171 - 171 Trillion Party; Agreed! 171 Trillion Party; Agreed! Room 888. Under the unanimous request of President Da Ma and President Xiao Ma, Lin Fan finally sat in the innermost seat. Their reason was simple. Lin Fan was the host here. Da Ma and Xiao Ma sat on the left and right respectively. After that, it was the president of Jindong, the president of Weibo, the president of Buying Group, the president of Hungry, and the president of UA Browser¡­ The entire table was filled to the brim. Normally, these people would view the other party as a thorn on their side. Who would have thought that they would be able to sit together today? Even the manager, Zhang Shanfeng, who was used to seeing big scenes, could not help but feel his throat go dry. Not long after, exquisite dishes were served by Zhang Shanfeng himself. President Da Ma first sniffed, then tasted the dish and immediately praised, ¡°Yes! It smells really good!¡± ¡°It¡¯s delicious!¡± President Xiao Ma said at the right time. The president of Jindong and the others also picked up their chopsticks and nodded. Obviously, they were very satisfied. When Lin Fan saw this, he said happily, ¡°As long as everyone likes it!¡± President Da Ma said, ¡°Of course, we like it! In the past, I often heard people praise the food here. However, I never managed to try it for myself¡­ ¡°Today¡­ I finally understand that all the food I¡¯ve had at other places simply isn¡¯t authentic! ¡°Thank you, Mr. Lin, for letting me eat authentic dishes! Let me toast you!¡± As he spoke, President Da Ma personally raised his glass and downed it. It had to be said that it was definitely not a coincidence that Da Ma was able to succeed. Just his eloquent mouth alone was enough to surpass countless people! ¡°You¡¯re too polite, President Da Ma,¡± Lin Fan said. President Xiao Ma could not help but say, ¡°Mr. Lin, thank you for your trust in our Penguin Group. Let me toast you too.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, President Xiao Ma also drank a glass of wine. Although Xiao Ma was not as good at talking as Da Ma, his skill level was far beyond that of others. After the two big shots drank, the scene immediately became very lively. ¡­ Today¡¯s meal lasted until 10:30 pm. At this moment, everyone¡¯s faces were flushed red, and their mouths were a little open when they spoke. Of course, Lin Fan was fine. His expression remained the same, and there was not even a hint of alcohol on his body. This was normal¡­ One had to know that Lin Fan had the Drinking Gentleman skill. He would not get drunk even after drinking a thousand glasses! The wine in his stomach was almost completely absorbed in an instant. Moreover, he was the host today! Who dared to force him to drink? When Lin Fan walked out of Jiangbei Hotel, a crisp notification sounded in his mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve completed the hidden mission¡ªtrillion party. You¡¯ve received five silver packets.] Trillion party¡­ Lin Fan was stunned. He suddenly completed another mission? Trillion party? Lin Fan thought for a moment and knew what it meant. President Da Ma, President Xiao Ma, the president of Jindong, the president of Weibo, the president of Buying Group, the president of Hungry¡­ The net worth of these people added together was definitely more than trillions. Was this not the trillion party, then? He had just casually eaten a meal and completed a mission. Hmm, not bad. It was quite late now, so Lin Fan did not go to Teacher Tiantian¡¯s house or Yi Ke City. Instead, he went straight to Coiling Dragon Villa. Then, he turned his attention to the silver packets. ¡°Open the five silver packets.¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 500,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 100 million Sharkstream coins.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 800,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 100,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1 20-carat natural diamond.] Lin Fan pursed his lips. ¡°Why are they all useless things?¡± Useless things? If others knew about this, who knew what they would think? 1.4 million in cash was something that many people would not be able to earn in a few years. 100 million Sharkstream coins, according to the market value, was one million yuan. As for a 20-carat natural diamond, the lowest price was more than ten million. If it was of good quality, it was normal for it to be worth more than 100 million. The diamond that Lin Fan had obtained was bright in color. It was obviously of the best quality. Then, Lin Fan turned his attention to the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! You¡¯ve successfully signed in. You¡¯ve received ten million yuan.] ¡°As expected, my good luck from before has been used up!¡± Lin Fan sighed. ¡­ At this moment, Su Ningjing, who had been busy all day, finally finished washing her clothes. Although she was tired, she never complained. At this moment, her phone on the bed rang urgently. Su Ningjing looked at the caller ID. It was a call from her grandmother in the mountains. It was already so late. Granny should have gone to bed long ago. Why did she call? Su Ningjing pressed the answer button with a trace of doubt. ¡°Sister, bad news! Granny is sick!¡± Boom! This sentence was like a thunderbolt that bombarded Su Ningjing¡¯s heart. Su Ningjing and her sister had been raised by their grandmother since they were young. They had a good relationship with their grandmother. Now that the old lady had suddenly fallen ill, how could she not be sad? ¡°How¡¯s Granny?¡± Su Ningjing asked hurriedly. Did you send her to the hospital?¡± ¡°I¡¯m already at the hospital! But the doctor said that it¡¯ll cost 80,000 yuan to perform the surgery. The money you sent home in the past, there¡¯s only a total of 40,000 yuan left¡­¡± Su Ningjing¡¯s younger sister said with a sobbing tone. ¡°I still have 10,000 yuan here. I¡¯ll send it to you now. As for the rest¡­¡± Su Ningjing said quietly. ¡°As for the rest, wait for me first.¡± After hanging up, she quickly transferred 10,000 yuan to her sister. Then, Su Ningjing paced around anxiously. 30,000? For many people, 30,000 yuan was nothing. However, to Su Ningjing, this was a huge sum of money. It was a huge sum of money that was enough to overwhelm her. Many figures appeared in Su Ningjing¡¯s mind. In the end, it suddenly stopped on Lin Fan, who had sent her back yesterday. After hesitating for a long time, Su Ningjing finally made the call. After a while, the call was connected. ¡°Hello?¡± Lin Fan asked curiously. ¡°H-Hello, Mr. Lin,¡± Su Ningjing said nervously. Even though they were separated by the phone, Lin Fan could easily tell who the other party was. ¡°Oh, Su Ningjing, right? Do you want to be a full-time housekeeper and cook here?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Yes¡­¡± Su Ningjing said. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°Alright, come over tomorrow morning,¡± Lin Fan said. Su Ningjing said nervously, ¡°Uh¡­ Mr. Lin, can I have two months¡¯ salary in advance?¡± Chapter 172 - 172 Lend It; Congratulations! 172 Lend It; Congratulations! Two months¡¯ salary in advance? That was 30,000 yuan. Lin Fan did not hesitate and said, ¡°Alright.¡± It was not that Lin Fan liked to be a sucker. It was because he had easily discovered that Su Ningjing was a kind and simple girl when he interacted with her. Lin Fan believed that she would not cheat him of his 30,000 yuan. Besides, if Su Ningjing really had a problem with her character, spending 30,000 yuan to expose her true colors was much better than letting her stay in his villa all the time. Su Ningjing did not expect Lin Fan to agree to her request. Less than a minute after she hung up, her phone vibrated slightly. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 30,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Seeing this¡­ Su Ningjing quickly sent a message to Lin Fan: [Thank you.] Then, she quickly transferred the 30,000 yuan she had just received to her sister. ¡­ It was nighttime. It was rare for Lin Fan to sleep alone. The next day, the sun was high in the sky, and the birds were chirping by the window. Lin Fan opened his eyes slowly. He had slept too comfortably last night. He casually picked up his phone, and a text message appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 1,350,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, Lin Fan turned his attention to the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations on signing in successfully. You¡¯ve received ten million yuan.] Lin Fan yawned and sighed. ¡°Another ten million¡­¡± After washing up, he slowly opened the door of the villa. At this moment, a beautiful figure stood at the door. It was Su Ningjing. Today, Su Ningjing was wearing an apron. Her exquisite facial features were as clear as jade under the distant sunlight. Her delicate figure did not look bloated because of the loose apron. Instead, she looked even more plump and perfect! Her long black hair fluttered in the wind. Perhaps this was the case when a fairy stood at the door. Lin Fan was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked at the beads of sweat on her snow-white face and asked, ¡°You haven¡¯t been waiting at the door this whole time, have you?¡± Su Ningjing did not say anything and just lowered her head silently. Lin Fan said helplessly, ¡°Remember to ring the doorbell next time¡­¡± He told Su Ningjing the password to the villa and gave her 50,000 yuan for groceries. Then, he drove the Lamborghini to Jiangbei University. As soon as he entered the gate, a bright banner appeared in front of him. ¡®Congratulations to our school¡¯s Lin Fan for deducing economics formulas and theories!¡¯ Lin Fan thought for a moment and understood that Qin Yuxuan must have written the formula into a thesis and successfully published it on Ecta. Regarding this¡­ He was not too surprised. This was because he believed in his own deduction and Qin Yuxuan¡¯s thesis ability. After parking the car, he met counselor Sun Yaodong. ¡°Lin Fan, good job, haha! You¡¯re really giving our class too much face!¡± Sun Yaodong put his hand on Lin Fan¡¯s shoulder and shouted excitedly. Lin Fan was completely immune to Counselor Sun¡¯s compliments. However, Lin Fan still had a weird look on his face. It seemed like¡­ Every time he won an award or achieved something, the first person he met when he came to school was Counselor Sun. What a coincidence! Sun Yaodong did not care too much. He put his hand on Lin Fan¡¯s shoulder and walked toward the classroom with a smile. At this moment, the classroom was already filled with people. It was very lively. This was because Teacher Tiantian had class this morning. ¡°Cough, cough!¡± Sun Yaodong walked to the podium and coughed lightly. Only then did the students quieten down. However, their faces were slowly filled with doubt. What was going on? Was it not Teacher Tiantian¡¯s class in the morning? Why was Counselor Sun here? Could it be that they changed classes? No! It was not easy for them to get good seats! Sun Yaodong said, ¡°Let me tell everyone a piece of good news. Student Lin Fan from our class has successfully derived the economics formula and theorem! With this result, there might be a Nobel Prize winner in economics in our class!¡± Whoosh! Silence! The entire classroom was silent! Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with disbelief. Although they were mathematics students, they did not know much about economics formulas and theories. However, the Nobel Prize in economics could be said to be thunderous! To put it more clearly, any award with the words ¡®Nobel Prize¡¯ represented the highest standard! Now, their classmate¡­ Someone was going to be a Nobel Prize winner? How could they not be surprised? ¡°Everyone, give him a round of applause!¡± Sun Yaodong shouted. Almost reflexively, all the students applauded. The entire classroom immediately burst into thunderous applause. Seeing this¡­ Sun Yaodong nodded in satisfaction, then turned around and walked out. Not long after he left, Teacher Tiantian arrived. In the past, once Teacher Tiantian walked into the classroom, everyone¡¯s attention would definitely be on her. However, today was different. The students¡¯ thoughts were still stuck on the fact that Lin Fan was about to win the Nobel Prize in economics. Teacher Tiantian¡¯s teaching method was as relaxed and carefree as usual. The class passed in the blink of an eye. After class, Song Yi could not help but say, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, did you really derive the economic formulas and theories? You¡¯re going to win the Nobel Prize?¡± Ma Zhong, Zheng Jinbao, and the students sitting around them all pricked up their ears. Obviously, they were also very concerned about this. Lin Fan looked at how concerned they were and could not help but laugh. ¡°I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ll win the Nobel Prize, but I did derive the economics formulas and theorem,¡± Lin Fan said. Buzz! Even though Tutor Sun had already said it, after Lin Fan admitted it, everyone was still shocked. ¡°Lin Fan, how did you derive the economic formulas and theorem?¡± Ma Zhong asked. ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen you study it.¡± After all, they were not only classmates but also roommates. They were indeed qualified to say such words. Lin Fan said, ¡°Do I need to study this? It¡¯s very simple! When I saw the economics professor at Modu University giving a lecture, there was a problem with her calculations, so I casually corrected her. Then, I deduced the formula.¡± Was there still a need for research? It was very simple! He casually pointed out the calculation problem of the economics professor at Modu University. He deduced the formula! Listen! Listen! Was this human language? He was simply the God of Studies! Song Yi, Ma Zhong, Zheng Jinbao, and the others heard Lin Fan¡¯s words, and their mouths were half open. They were dumbfounded and did not know how to respond. After all, humans were not qualified to talk to gods and immortals. Chapter 173 - 173 The Old Professors Thoughts; Asking for Contact Information! 173 The Old Professor¡¯s Thoughts; Asking for Contact Information! At noon, 12 pm, Lin Fan received 42,788 yuan from the red packets. Then, he started his afternoon classes again. The old professor had classes in the afternoon. Even though Lin Fan slept well yesterday, as the old professor began to slowly lecture, Lin Fan fell asleep very quickly. Almost every time, Lin Fan would fall asleep in the old professor¡¯s class. At first, the old professor thought that Lin Fan was studying hard at night. That was why he kept sleeping in class. However, as the number of classes increased¡­ The old professor realized that Lin Fan was sleeping every time. The old professor could not help but feel puzzled. Could it be¡­ Lin Fan was burning the midnight oil every night to study? That should not be possible, right? At this moment, the old professor realized that his previous thoughts were really wrong! He actually doubted Lin Fan! He suspected someone who had solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, and invented the earthquake prediction device¡­This time, Lin Fan even derived the economic formulas and theorem. He actually suspected the effort of a genius like him? The old professor felt guilty. He put down his book and walked to Lin Fan¡¯s side. Just like before, he covered Lin Fan with his coat. At the same time, he thought to himself, ¡®From now on, I¡¯ll never doubt Lin Fan in the slightest.¡¯ ¡­ Lin Fan had no idea about the complicated psychological changes of the old professor. When he woke up, it was already the end of school. Lin Fan habitually looked at his phone. A WeChat message had already appeared on the screen. Teacher Tiantian: [Come to my house for dinner tonight. After that, we¡¯ll discuss questions.] Discuss questions? When Lin Fan saw these words, his heart burned with passion. He did not stop at all and drove the Lamborghini out. A crisp bell rang. Hu Tian slowly opened the door. At the same time, the fragrance of food wafted over. Lin Fan looked at the colorful dishes on the table and praised, ¡°It smells so good!¡± ¡°You came just in time. Wash your hands and let¡¯s eat together,¡± Hu Tian said with a smile. Garlic shrimp, steamed fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, chicken soup¡­ It was very sumptuous. Then, Hu Tian took out a bottle of red wine and poured it into two glasses. There seemed to be a sweet fragrance in the air. It was very pleasant to the nose. ¡°Congratulations on successfully deriving the economic formula and theorem.¡± Hu Tian raised her glass. Even though Lin Fan did not really care about this at all, he still raised his glass happily and said, ¡°Thank you, Teacher Tiantian.¡± He gently swirled the wine glass and slowly poured it into his mouth. [Skill: Drinking Gentleman, Charming Aura!] Hu Tian¡¯s beautiful eyes looked at Lin Fan without blinking. There was even a faint glow in her eyes. Her pretty face started to heat up, perhaps because she had just drunk some wine or because it was too hot when she was cooking in the kitchen just now. Hu Tian took a while to recover before exhaling a mouthful of fragrance and saying, ¡°Lin Fan, when did you start studying economics?¡± Lin Fan smiled, ¡°I just deduced the formula. I didn¡¯t study economics.¡± Hu Tian accepted this much easier than Ma Zhong and the others. The two of them continued to chat and eat, occasionally drinking a few mouthfuls of red wine. Gradually, Hu Tian¡¯s pretty face became redder and her breathing became warmer. She tugged at her clothes and tried to make herself feel more refreshed. However, her speed was a little too slow. Hence, Lin Fan helped out as well. The night gradually deepened. ¡­ For the next few days, Lin Fan would be in class during the day. At night, he would go to Yi Ke City to look for Huang Ling, Qiu Ziqian, or Teacher Tiantian. His days were relaxed and carefree. For the past few days, his daily red packets and sign-ins were all cash. Right now, Lin Fan¡¯s funds had already reached 4.421 billion yuan. At this moment, Lin Fan was driving his Lamborghini toward Coiling Dragon Villa. He wanted to sign in at another place to see if he could get something different. Creak! When he pushed open the door, Su Ningjing was sitting in the corner of the living room, eating steamed buns with pickles. ¡°Why are you eating steamed buns?¡± Lin Fan asked. After all, he gave Su Ningjing a monthly salary of 15,000 yuan. In Jiangbei, 15,000 yuan was definitely a high salary. Not to mention eating delicacies, there was definitely no problem even if she ate fish and meat ever day. Su Ningjing quickly put away the steamed bun and said nervously, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing. Can¡¯t I eat here? I won¡¯t do it again.¡± Obviously, she had misunderstood Lin Fan and thought he did not allow her to eat here. Lin Fan said, ¡°You misunderstood me. I mean, why aren¡¯t you eating something more nutritious?¡± ¡°Steamed buns¡­¡± Su Ning said quietly. ¡°They¡¯re also quite delicious.¡± After saying that, she slowly lowered her head, as if she wanted to see her slender legs, but unfortunately, they were blocked by her upper body. When Lin Fan heard that, he did not say anything else and walked upstairs. Then, he placed his attention on the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve gained Professional Law Experience.] [Professional Law Experience: You¡¯re familiar with the laws of every country and region. You know the law well, displaying your amazing charm.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up as he muttered, ¡°As expected, do I need to sign in at another place to get something good?¡± Lin Fan was no longer interested in money. He liked this skill very much. ¡­ At this time, in Jiangbei University, Dorm 104. Zheng Jinbao sat in front of the computer as usual, chuckling from time to time. At this moment, a message from his cousin, Zheng Sili, popped up in the lower right corner. Zheng Sili: [Cousin, are you there?] Zheng Jinbao: [What¡¯s the matter?] Zheng Sili: [Do you have Lin Fan¡¯s contact information? Give it to me.] Zheng Jinbao was slightly stunned. He hesitated for a moment before replying. Zheng Jinbao: [Why do you want his contact information? Don¡¯t tell me you want to pursue him? He¡¯s not suitable for you.] As Lin Fan¡¯s roommate, Zheng Jinbao knew how strong Lin Fan was. He was a great mathematician, a great physicist, and a great economist¡­ Moreover, he was a tycoon! In addition, Teacher Tiantian, the ice beauty Qin Yuxuan, the twin beauties, and the others all had a special relationship with Lin Fan. Although Zheng Jinbao felt that his cousin was not bad looking, she was definitely not a top-notch beauty. Pursuing Lin Fan? That was completely impossible. Zheng Sili asked: [Cousin, what are you talking about? I know what I¡¯m capable of. How would I dare to pursue Brother Lin Fan?!] Zheng Jinbao: [Fortunately, you know your limits.] Zheng Sili was speechless. Zheng Sili: [Cousin, are you really my cousin?] Zheng Jinbao: [Alright, I won¡¯t chat with you anymore. I¡¯ll send you his WeChat ID.] Then, he ignored Zheng Sili and focused on his computer again. Chapter 174 - 174 Invitation; Sharkstream Festival! 174 Invitation; Sharkstream Festival! Lin Fan was in a good mood when his phone vibrated. It turned out that someone had added him as a friend on WeChat. [Note: Brother Fan, I¡¯m Zheng Sili, your roommate Zheng Jinbao¡¯s cousin.] Obviously, she was worried that Lin Fan would not remember who she was. Thus, she added a note. Lin Fan had some impression of Zheng Sili. He remembered that she was a streamer. The first time they met was at the entrance of Qingfeng Restaurant. At that time, she was posing in front of his Lamborghini. The second time was when Zheng Jinbao brought everyone in the dormitory over for a meal. After all, she was his roommate¡¯s cousin. Lin Fan immediately accepted her friend request. The moment Lin Fan accepted it, Zheng Sili sent him a message. Zheng Sili: [Work Slayer!] Lin Fan said: [Hello¡­ How are your live streams going?] Lin Fan only asked casually. When Zheng Sili heard him bring up the topic, she was extremely excited. Zheng Sili: [I¡¯m getting more than 100,000 views every day! Moreover, many big streamers often interact with me! [Thank you, Mr. Tycoon!] Zheng Sili thanked him sincerely. The reason why she had such high popularity was that Lin Fan had appeared in her live stream. It made her the only live streamer on the internet who had an interaction with Work Slayer in real life. Every day, countless people in her live stream would ask if Work Slayer, the godly tycoon, would appear. The reason why the big streamers interacted with her was to ask about the situation of Work Slayer, the godly tycoon. Lin Fan thought, ¡®What¡¯s there to thank?¡¯ Zheng Sili: [By the way, Work Slayer, Sharkstream is holding a festival in Jiangbei tomorrow. Many big streamers will be there. Do you want to go and have some fun?] It was Saturday tomorrow, and Lin Fan had nothing to do. The Sharkstream Festival sounded pretty good. However, he did not agree immediately. Lin Fan: [I¡¯m not a streamer. Can I go?] Zheng Sili: [Of course! Although you¡¯re not a streamer, your fame is even greater than many big streamers.] Lin Fan: [Is that so? Alright, I¡¯ll go over tomorrow.] Zheng Sili: [Really? That¡¯s great!] ¡­ Lin Fan ended his conversation with Zheng Sili and lay down on the big bed. He played with his phone for a while before closing his eyes and going to sleep. ¡­ At this moment, in a WeChat group called Shark Star. Lil Sili: [I¡¯ve invited Work Slayer!] After this message was sent, the entire Shark Star WeChat group immediately went into an uproar! Xiang Xiang: [Really? Will Work Slayer come to the Sharkstream Festival tomorrow?] Lil Li: [That¡¯s right! He promised me that he¡¯ll come tomorrow.] Momo: [Wow!] Xiao Ai: [Great! I¡¯ve always wanted to see the godly tycoon with my own eyes. I¡¯ll finally be able to do so tomorrow.] 99%: [No way, no way! The tycoon is coming? I finally have a chance to attract Work Slayer!] 911: [What do you guys think I should wear tomorrow to attract Work Slayer? A dress? Suspended straps?] Xiao Ai: [Urgh, don¡¯t say anymore. My stomach is churning.] Xiang Xiang: [I¡¯m so excited. I feel like I won¡¯t be able to sleep today.] Momo: [I really can¡¯t wait for tomorrow.] ¡­ The next day. The sun hung high in the sky. When Lin Fan woke up, the table was already filled with beef noodles, fried dumplings, soy milk, corn, and other food. ¡°It tastes good!¡± Lin Fan took a few bites and praised. Soon, everything on the table was eaten clean. When Su Ningjing saw this, she went forward to clean up and wash the dishes. Then, she scooped herself a bowl of noodles from the pot. ¡°You haven¡¯t eaten yet?¡± Lin Fan asked. Su Ningjing nodded. Lin Fan said, ¡°You can eat first next time.¡± Su Ningjing lowered her head and did not answer. Lin Fan was helpless. He knew that this was her personality. It could not be changed in a short period of time. Lin Fan could only casually grab his car keys and walk out. Beep! He pressed the button lightly, and the Pagani Huara¡¯s headlights lit up in the distance. A crisp whistle sounded. Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away. ¡­ Sharkstream Festival was a grand annual event hosted by Sharkstream. This year, with the popularity of the Internet Conference, they arranged for the streamers to stay at Maple Hotel in Jiangbei. The entire Maple Hotel had been booked by Sharkstream and was covered with bright red, soft carpets. The logo of Sharkstream was pasted everywhere, and many ornaments of Sharkstream were placed¡­ The venue looked high-end and luxurious with the aura of Sharkstream. Dressed in suits and long gowns, the streamers stepped on the red carpet and walked forward with smiles. ¡°Momo, you look even more beautiful than in the live broadcast room!¡± ¡°Xiao Ai, you too.¡± ¡­ The streamers praised each other, but their eyes were unconsciously looking around as if they were looking for someone. Soon, they turned their attention to the woman in a black dress who had just walked in. ¡°Lil Sili, you¡¯re here!¡± ¡°Where¡¯s Work Slayer?¡± ¡°Yeah, is Work Slayer here?¡± All the streamers asked her questions one after another, but they could not help but look behind her. Unfortunately, there was no one behind Zheng Sili. ¡°He said he¡¯s on his way. He should be here soon,¡± Zheng Sili said. Her words seemed to have an effect. Suddenly, footsteps came from afar. Then, a tall figure slowly walked over. ¡°You¡¯re here!¡± Zheng Sili said excitedly. ¡°You¡¯re here, Mr. Tycoon!¡± As soon as she said this, everyone looked into the distance and sighed. ¡°Wow! Is this the godly tycoon? He¡¯s so handsome!¡± ¡°He¡¯s even more handsome than I imagined!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± As the streamers spoke, they hurriedly went up to greet him. ¡°It¡¯s good to meet you, Mr. Tycoon!¡± Momo said. ¡°Do you still remember me?¡± Xiao Ai asked. ¡°Hello, Mr. Tycoon,¡± Xiang Xiang said. ¡­ Lin Fan was surrounded by a large group of beautiful female streamers. A series of crisp greetings rang out in his ears. ¡°Hello, Momo.¡± ¡°Of course, I remember you, Xiao Ai.¡± ¡°Xiang Xiang, how are you?¡± ¡­ Seeing that Lin Fan still remembered them, all the beautiful female streamers smiled sweetly. At this moment, Jiu Yikai, who was at the side, asked in an extremely serious manner, ¡°Work Slayer, will you be a streamer in the future?¡± ¡°No,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Ah¡­ That¡¯s great!¡± Jiu Yikai patted his chest and heaved a long sigh of relief. ¡°I¡¯ve always said that I¡¯m Sharkstream¡¯s most handsome Prince Charming. If you join, I¡¯ll definitely lose my position as the most handsome Prince Charming.¡± Everyone looked at his funny appearance and laughed. Chapter 175 - 175 Live Broadcast; Grand Event! 175 Live Broadcast; Grand Event! These streamers were all eloquent and very beautiful. Lin Fan stood there as if he was surrounded by a bunch of canaries. He was enjoying himself. The live streamers chatted with Lin Fan as they walked, laughing from time to time. ¡°I never thought that Work Slayer would be so young,¡± Momo said. ¡°And he¡¯s so handsome,¡± Xiao Ai said. Lin Fan asked, ¡°Then what did you think I¡¯d be like?¡± ¡°I thought¡­ you¡¯d be the same age as my dad,¡± Xiao Ai said. ¡°I thought you were bald and had a big belly,¡± Momo said. Lin Fan tried to imagine it in his mind and could not help but shiver. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to disappoint you.¡± ¡°It should be called pleasant a surprise!¡± Momo called out. Xiao Ai took out her phone and said, ¡°Work Slayer, my fans have always said that they want to see you. Today, their wish has finally come true.¡± After saying that, she opened Sharkstream¡¯s live broadcast room and quickly logged into her account. ¡°Don¡¯t show my face,¡± Lin Fan said. This was something that Lin Fan had always requested. Even though he solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, and invented the earthquake prediction device¡­ he had never shown his face in public. It was also because of this that he could live a relaxed and free life every day without anyone disturbing him. Xiao Ai nodded. Then, she smiled at the camera and said, ¡°Good morning, everyone!¡± It had to be said that Xiao Ai was indeed Sharkstream¡¯s big streamer. As soon as he went online, her popularity began to soar. At the same time, countless bullet comments started to roll rapidly. Zhang Xiaonao: [Wow! Xiao Ai started her live broadcast so early today?] Firmament: [I¡¯m so happy today. I can see Xiao Ai so early.] Lonely Man: [Huh, am I seeing things? Beside Xiao Ai¡­ Is that Momo?] Jiao Weixing: [Not only Momo, but there¡¯s also Xiang Xiang!] Shadowless: [The one next to her seems to be Jiu Yikai?] ¡­ Xiao Ai said, ¡°Yes, you didn¡¯t see wrongly. The ones beside me are Momo, Xiang Xiang, Jiu Yikai, and Lil Sili¡­ Because Sharkstream is holding a festival today! ¡°In addition, it¡¯s not just them. Work Slayer, who everyone has been thinking about, is also here today!¡± As she spoke, Xiao Ai slowly moved the camera to Lin Fan. However, only Lin Fan¡¯s lower body was exposed. Work Slayer was here? I Don¡¯t Know When It¡¯s Cold: [Where is he? Where is he?] Brother Jiang: [Xiao Ai, quickly raise the camera higher. How can we see Work Slayer like this?] Xuanyi¡¯s Father: [Yes! Quickly let us see what the godly tycoon looks like!] ¡­ At this moment, a dazzling golden notification suddenly appeared in Xiao Ai¡¯s live stream. ¡®Welcome to the live broadcast room.¡¯ Then¡­ Ten rockets. 30 rockets. 100 rockets. ¡­ The dense rockets instantly filled the entire screen. The long-awaited rocket storm washed over the live broadcast room once again. Ling Feng: [F*ck! As expected of a tycoon!] Treasure: [I want to give birth to a child for you.] Bing Xue: [I want to give birth to a child for you too.] Tan Wuxin: [Work Slayer is above others!] Flowers on the Road: [Awesome!] ¡­ Most of them commented with exclamation marks. The popularity of Xiao Ai¡¯s live stream soared. When Momo, Jiu Yikai, Zheng Sili, and the others saw this¡­ their eyes were red as they started to stream as well. Momo said, ¡°Today, I¡¯m very happy to be able to meet Work Slayer, the godly tycoon. He¡¯s even more handsome than I imagined!¡± Jiu Yikai said, ¡°Work Slayer is a tycoon. He¡¯s the only person who has threatened my looks in all these years.¡± Lil Sili said, ¡°I¡¯m very happy today. I¡¯ve met Work Slayer and so many big streamers.¡± ¡­ Following that, Momo, Jiu Yikai, Lil Sili, and the others received notifications as well. ¡®Welcome to the live broadcast room.¡¯ Then¡­ Ten. 50. 100. ¡­ A storm of rockets appeared in everyone¡¯s live broadcast rooms. Shocking and grand! This situation attracted the attention of countless people. Instantly, the traffic of the entire Sharkstream also increased rapidly. This explosive increase in traffic even affected Sharkstream¡¯s server. ¡°What happened?¡± the technical director asked curiously. ¡°Did a hacker attack the server?¡± Hence, the technicians quickly got busy. This¡­ Naturally, Lin Fan did not know about that. At this moment, he was continuously sending rockets to many live-streaming rooms. Originally, he already had hundreds of millions of Sharkstream coins. A few days ago, he received another 100 million. These Sharkstream coins were useless to Lin Fan. It was not bad to take them out now to tip everyone for fun. After tipping 1,000 rockets to a few streamers, Lin Fan slowly stopped. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Tycoon!¡± Momo said excitedly. ¡°Long live Work Slayer!¡± Xiao Ai shouted. ¡°Work Slayer, my eternal god!¡± Jiu Yikai roared. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Tycoon,¡± Zheng Sili said happily. After a while, they arrived at the dining hall. Steak, skewers, lobsters¡­ Everything was available. The air was also filled with the rich fragrance of meat. Jiu Yikai poured a large glass of red wine and said, ¡°Today, we¡¯re all honored to meet the godly tycoon. I suggest that we all toast to the godly tycoon. How about it?¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Everyone agreed. ¡°Thank you, everyone.¡± Lin Fan picked up his wine glass and slowly poured the wine into his mouth. Elegant and gentlemanly. Lin Fan¡¯s actions of drinking wine were all seen by the beautiful streamers. They could not help but be mesmerized as their pretty faces flushed red. Xiang Xiang found an opportunity to toast Lin Fan alone and said sincerely, ¡°Thank you, Mr. Tycoon.¡± She had wanted to thank him for a long time. Xiang Xiang liked to broadcast live, but her family was very opposed to Xiang Xiang being a streamer. This was because her family felt that the job was unstable and the income was low. If not for Lin Fan¡¯s crazy gifts back then, which caused Xiang Xiang¡¯s popularity to skyrocket, she did not know if she could continue pursuing this as a career. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± At this moment, a burst of light music sounded in the spacious dining room. ¡°It¡¯s Elopement to the Moon!¡± Momo exclaimed in surprise. ¡°I really like this song!¡± Even her graceful figure swayed as she listened to the music. Then, she quickly turned around. ¡°Mr. Tycoon, shall we sing this song together?¡± she asked. Lin Fan hesitated. ¡°That¡¯s possible. However, I don¡¯t really remember the lyrics¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. I have the lyrics on my phone,¡± Momo said happily. As soon as she finished speaking, she took the initiative to hold Lin Fan¡¯s hand and quickly walked toward the stage. Chapter 176 - 176 Kneeling; Bullying Women! 176 Kneeling; Bullying Women! Momo was a big streamer on Sharkstream. She had tens of millions of fans and was very popular. If Momo¡¯s fans knew that she had taken the initiative to hold someone else¡¯s hand, they would definitely be so shocked that their mouths would drop open and they would be so envious that they could not control themselves. However, Momo¡¯s lips curled up imperceptibly. Xiao Ai, Xiang Xiang, and the others who were standing at the side revealed a look of pity. They thought to themselves, ¡®If only I had pulled Work Slayer to sing earlier.¡¯ Lin Fan and Momo finally arrived on the stage. Momo quickly took out her pink phone that still emitted a trace of warmth and opened the lyrics to Elopement to the Moon. Under everyone¡¯s expectant gazes, Lin Fan finally sang. ¡°Actually, you¡¯re a ruthless thief. You stole my heart, my breath, and my name¡­¡± Light and pleasant! Everyone was on their knees! They finally understood what it meant to kneel! Everyone present was a big streamer on Sharkstream, and they sang dozens of songs every day. Perhaps they were not as talented as some singers. However, practice made perfect¡­ After singing for a long time, they could sing very tactfully and beautifully. In fact, they even believed that their singing skills were not inferior to some celebrities. Otherwise, they would not have been able to attract so many fans. However, when they heard Lin Fan¡¯s singing, they felt a deep sense of inferiority. In fact¡­ they were ashamed of themselves! In fact, this was normal. After all, Lin Fan had Heavenly Voice. Momo, who was standing at the side, was shocked by Lin Fan¡¯s singing. After a while, she started singing along with the music. ¡°You¡¯re the one who kidnapped me. I¡¯m in the back seat of the motorcycle, the wind blowing my hair¡­¡± ¡­ Just like that, the two of them exchanged a few words, and the beautiful song resounded throughout the entire restaurant. ¡°Those worry-free days, that pure and touching moonlight!¡± When the last line of the song was sung, the entire hall immediately erupted into enthusiastic applause and cheers. ¡°You sang so well, Work Slayer!¡± Momo exclaimed. ¡°I feel that it¡¯s comparable to the original!¡± Xiao Ai said. ¡°Work Slayer, are you really not going to be a streamer? As long as you become a streamer, I can guarantee that you¡¯ll definitely become popular!¡± Jiu Yikai shouted. Become a streamer? Some people did it because it was their hobby. Some people did it because they wanted to be famous. Most of them wanted to earn money. However, all of this was not enough to attract Lin Fan¡¯s attention. Thus, Lin Fan shook his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to be a streamer.¡± ¡°Yo, so all the beauties are here!¡± A cold voice suddenly sounded from afar. A short and thin man appeared in front of everyone. ¡°I forgot to introduce myself. I¡¯m Gao Zhenbo. Oh, the company belongs to my family.¡± As soon as he said this, everyone present had a solemn expression on their faces. Aiya Group, a listed company with a market value of billions, was involved in hotels, real estate, entertainment, and many other industries. The live streamers present even knew that Aiya Group was one of Sharkstream¡¯s shareholders. Gao Zhenbo, who was in front of them, was definitely a big shot at the crown prince level. Gao Zhenbo saw the reactions of the streamers, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Then, he shouted loudly, ¡°Yo, we can sing here? I like singing the most. Momo, right? Come, let¡¯s sing a song together!¡± As he spoke, he pushed Lin Fan to the side. Lin Fan frowned but did not say anything. After all, this place did not belong to him. If others wanted to sing, that was also their right. Momo gave Lin Fan an apologetic look. She did not want to sing with Gao Zhenbo. However, the other party was too powerful, and it would not be good to reject him. ¡°Play The Roof!¡± Gao Zhenbo shouted into the microphone. Soon, the music started playing. Gao Zhenbo sang. ¡°I couldn¡¯t sleep in the middle of the night. I hummed my feelings into a song and could only find you in a dream¡­¡± Kneel! Everyone opened their mouths and knelt! However, this time, everyone wanted to kneel down to beg him not to sing. His tone had deviated somewhere. If one said that Lin Fan¡¯s singing was heavenly, then Gao Zhenbo¡¯s singing was pure noise! An extremely ear-piercing noise! Gao Zhenbo¡¯s voice even affected Momo, causing her to sing out of tune. ¡°Singing your song on the roof, on the roof with the person I love.¡± With Momo¡¯s persistence, she finally finished singing the song. ¡°Alright, haha!¡± Gao Zhenbo laughed heartily. Then, he quickly walked off the stage and poured two large glasses of red wine. He said, ¡°You sang so well! Momo, let¡¯s have a drink together!¡± Momo looked at the big glass of wine and said hesitantly, ¡°Young Master Gao, my alcohol tolerance is very poor¡­ Moreover, there¡¯ll be a festival later. It won¡¯t be good if I get drunk.¡± ¡°What?¡± Gao Zhenbo glared at her. ¡°You don¡¯t even want to drink when I toast you?¡± Momo¡¯s heart tightened. She gritted her teeth. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll drink this glass. After that, I really can¡¯t drink anymore.¡± Gao Zhenbo nodded noncommittally. When Momo saw this¡­ She poured the glass of wine into her mouth. Obviously, her alcohol tolerance was not very good. After downing a glass of wine, her entire pretty face instantly turned red. ¡°Good! Hahaha!¡± Gao Zhenbo shouted happily. Following that, he took out a few large glasses of wine and handed one to Xiang Xiang, Xiao Ai, Momo, and Lil Sili. He said, ¡°You¡¯re all my favorite beautiful streamers. I¡¯m very happy to see you today! ¡°Come, let¡¯s have a drink together!¡± The four of them hesitated. They were all weak girls who could not handle alcohol. However, due to Gao Zhenbo¡¯s background, they had no choice but to drink it forcefully. Momo had just drunk a glass of wine and was already a little dizzy. If she drank another glass, she would probably pass out. Therefore, she said, ¡°Y-Young Master Gao, my alcohol tolerance is very poor. I really can¡¯t drink now.¡± ¡°Why? This is the first time we¡¯re meeting, and you¡¯re not giving me any face?¡± Gao Zhenbo¡¯s face darkened. ¡°No¡­ It¡¯s just that I still have to do a live broadcast on the festival later¡­¡± Momo said. ¡°So you think you¡¯ve become a big streamer? No wonder you don¡¯t think highly of me¡­ Looks like I have to tell President Qiu to restrict your development. Hmph!¡± Gao Zhenbo said coldly. Momo¡¯s pretty face instantly turned pale. President Qiu was the operations director of Sharkstream. Momo might be a big streamer with tens of millions of fans. However, if Director Qiu limited her traffic and often blocked her network¡­ Momo¡¯s years of hard work would soon be in vain! Lin Fan, who was standing at the side, said calmly, ¡°A man who only knows how to bully women. What kind of ability is that?¡± Chapter 177 - 177 Provoke; Chase Him Out! 177 Provoke; Chase Him Out! Although it was only a short interaction, Lin Fan had already treated Momo and the rest as friends. However, this Gao Zhenbo kept making things difficult for them. Lin Fan finally could not sit still anymore. ¡°Kid, you have guts! I¡¯ve never been provoked in front of anyone!¡± Gao Zhenbo stared at Lin Fan and said coldly. He looked as though he was going to swallow Lin Fan alive. Momo, Xiang Xiang, Xiao Ai, Lil Sili, and the others heard Gao Zhenbo¡¯s words and looked at his sinister appearance. Their faces all turned pale. Lin Fan was a famous tycoon in Sharkstream. His family should have some power. However, Gao Zhenbo¡¯s family owned a huge corporation with a market value of billions! Once there was a conflict¡­ Momo¡¯s heart was filled with gratitude toward Lin Fan, but she did not want to implicate him. Therefore, she quickly said, ¡°Young Master Gao, he didn¡¯t mean to provoke you¡­ About the wine¡­I¡¯ll drink¡­¡± As she spoke, she picked up the wine and was about to pour it into her mouth. However, she was stopped by Gao Zhenbo. ¡°Momo, he didn¡¯t let you drink, right? Alright, I won¡¯t let you drink it either!¡± Then, Gao Zhenbo picked up two bottles of red wine and pointed at Lin Fan. ¡°Come, drink it all and I can consider not pursuing the matter just now. Otherwise¡­ Hmph!¡± Two bottles of wine? One had to know¡­ Lin Fan had Drinking Gentleman. Forget about two bottles of wine, even 20 bottles of wine was nothing to him. However, would he drink just because Gao Zhenbo told him to drink? How was this possible? Lin Fan glanced at Gao Zhenbo and said calmly, ¡°I¡¯ll say the same thing to you. As long as you finish the two bottles of wine in your hands, I can forget about what happened just now.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not going to pursue the matter? Good, good, good! I¡¯d like to see how you¡¯re going to pursue this matter!¡± Gao Zhenbo seemed to have heard the funniest joke, and his whole body was shaking. At this moment, footsteps could be heard from afar. Three men and two women in suits walked over from afar. When Gao Zhenbo saw them, his eyes lit up and he shouted, ¡°Chairman Zhang, President Qiu, I didn¡¯t expect to see you here. I¡¯m Gao Zhenbo, the son of the chairman of Aiya Group, Gao Feng!¡± Then, he whispered to Lin Fan, ¡°Kid, weren¡¯t you arrogant just now? You¡¯d better not cry later!¡± When the streamers heard this, their expressions became even uglier. Chairman Zhang was the big boss of Sharkstream! President Qiu was the operations director that Gao Zhenbo had mentioned earlier! They suddenly came here? Now that the entire Fenglai Hotel had been booked by Sharkstream, what if they made things difficult for Lin Fan later? Finally, this group of people got closer and closer to Gao Zhenbo¡­ Gao Zhenbo could not help but adjust his clothes and took a step forward, smiling as he said, ¡°Mr. Zhang, my father told me two days ago that he wanted to learn from you¡­ I didn¡¯t expect to see you today.¡± As he spoke, Gao Zhenbo extended his right hand. However¡­ Chairman Zhang did not hear him at all. He walked past Gao Zhenbo and went straight to Lin Fan. Then, Chairman Zhang bent down slightly and took the initiative to reach out his hand. He smiled and said, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. I¡¯m glad to see you here.¡± Silence. The entire place suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at this scene in a daze. Chairman Zhang! The chairman of Sharkstream actually knew Lin Fan! Furthermore, he was trying to please Lin Fan! This¡­ What was going on? Lin Fan thought for a moment and knew that he had seen this person at Jiangbei Hotel with President Da Ma and President Xiao Ma. At that time, Lin Fan was sitting in the main seat. Chairman Zhang, who was now in front of him, had sat at the back during the meal. Although the two of them did not communicate at all, Lin Fan had surely left a memory. With Chairman Zhang¡¯s photographic memory, he could remember anything he saw. At this moment, Chairman Zhang treated him politely. Lin Fan returned the courtesy. ¡°Hello, Chairman Zhang.¡± He extended his hand. The two of them shook hands, and everyone was shocked again. Chairman Zhang¡¯s face was filled with excitement. He could still clearly remember how polite President Da Ma and President Xiao Ma were to Lin Fan. They even took the initiative to give up the main seat! To Chairman Zhang, it was an honor for Lin Fan to remember him and shake his hand! ¡°If I knew that Mr. Lin would be coming to Sharkstream Festival today, I would have arranged for a grand welcome party for you,¡± said Chairman Zhang. ¡°It¡¯s really too rude of me.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°I was only invited by a friend. I came to take a look.¡± When Chairman Zhang heard this, his eyes lit up slightly. Friend? Lin Fan actually had a friend streaming on his platform! This was definitely good news for him. ¡°Do you know him?¡± Lin Fan pointed at Gao Zhenbo and asked. Chairman Zhang thought that Gao Zhenbo was the friend Lin Fan was talking about. He hurriedly said, ¡°I know him, I know him! His father is the chairman of Aiya Group! I¡¯ve always thought that he¡¯s not bad. It turns out that¡­¡± Lin Fan did not wait for him to finish. ¡°Is that so? This Gao Zhenbo was deliberately making things difficult for my friend just now. Moreover, he kept threatening me.¡± Chairman Zhang¡¯s heart skipped a beat. A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He was flustered and filled with regret. The person that he thought was not bad had just offended Lin Fan? Chairman Zhang wanted to give himself a big slap. At this moment, Gao Zhenbo could tell that Lin Fan¡¯s status was not ordinary and felt uneasy. However, when he thought of his father¡¯s identity, he became calm again. ¡°Chairman Zhang, who is this Mr. Lin?¡± he asked arrogantly. Lin Fan dug his ears and said, ¡°I feel that Gao Zhenbo¡¯s voice is very ear-piercing. It¡¯s not suitable for him to stay in this hotel. Chairman Zhang, what do you think?¡± ¡°Mr. Lin is right!¡± Chairman Zhang nodded repeatedly. How could he not understand Lin Fan¡¯s words? He was asking him to kick Gao Zhenbo out of the hotel. He had said something wrong just now, and now was a good time to redeem himself. As for Gao Zhenbo¡­ Would he offend Gao Zhenbo or even Aiya Group because of this? Chairman Zhang did not care at all. Yes! Aiya Corporation owned shares of Sharkstream. However, that was only a small amount of shares. Lin Fan owned 5% of Penguin Group¡¯s shares. One had to know¡­ The biggest shareholder of Sharkstream was Penguin Group. Between Lin Fan and Aiya Corporation, did he still need to choose? Chairman Zhang said seriously, ¡°Gao Zhenbo, this hotel has been booked by Sharkstream. You¡¯re not welcome here. Please leave immediately!¡± He was being kicked out? This was simply a slap in the face! Gao Zhenbo had never encountered such a thing before. His expression was ugly as he said, ¡°Chairman Zhang, you¡­¡± At this moment, Lin Fan picked his ears and said, ¡°It¡¯s really too noisy.¡± Chairman Zhang understood that Lin Fan was getting impatient. He shouted, ¡°Security! Chase him out!¡± Chapter 178 - 178 The Identity of a Tycoon; Compensation! 178 The Identity of a Tycoon; Compensation! Soon, several security guards rushed over. Gao Zhenbo did not dare to stay any longer. He could only walk out quickly while covered in dust. Then, Chairman Zhang started to chat with Lin Fan. However, he soon noticed that Lin Fan seemed to prefer chatting with the streamers. Therefore, Chairman Zhang tactfully left early. At the same time, he secretly remembered these streamers and got prepared to build a good relationship with them in the future. After Chairman Zhang and the others left, the atmosphere at the scene became relaxed again. Momo said gratefully, ¡°Thank you so much for just now¡­ Otherwise, I don¡¯t know what would have happened today.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mr. Tycoon.¡± Xiang Xiang, Xiao Ai, Xiao Li, and the others also said. Gao Zhenbo¡¯s status was extraordinary, and he kept forcing the beautiful streamers to drink. They did not dare to imagine what would happen next. Their thanks came from the bottom of their hearts. Nearby, Jiu Yikai could not help but ask, ¡°Work Slayer, may I ask, what do you do for a living?¡± As soon as he said that, everyone present pricked up their ears. Obviously, they¡­ were all very interested. He casually spent thousands on a live broadcast. The chairman of Sharkstream could stand tall and aloof wherever he went, but he kept trying to please Lin Fan. In order to satisfy Lin Fan, he even chased the young master of Aiya Corporation out. One had to know¡­ Aiya Corporation was a large company with a market value of billions. It was also one of the shareholders of Sharkstream! Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°Me¡­ I¡¯m just an ordinary student.¡± When everyone heard this, they only wanted to kneel. They really wanted to say, ¡°Mr. Tycoon, do you have some misunderstanding about ordinary people?¡± ¡­ After Lin Fan left Sharkstream Festival, he drove the Pagani Huayra toward Yi Ke City. The red light in front of him lasted for 90 seconds. Lin Fan looked around in boredom. He saw¡­ Not far away, a person in a bear costume was standing on the sidewalk handing out flyers. After distributing the flyers, they slowly turned around and did not notice that a woman was rummaging through her bag and slowly walking over. In a moment of carelessness, the person¡¯s hand bumped into the woman¡¯s bag. The bag in the woman¡¯s hand fell to the ground. The woman was immediately enraged and pushed the person in the bear costume to the ground while shouting loudly. The flyers that filled the sky fell like rain. In order to stand up, the person had no choice but to take off their bear mask. It was actually Su Ningjing! When Lin Fan saw this¡­ He raised his eyebrows and waited for the green light to come on. Then, he turned the car around and parked it in a public parking space. Then, he strode toward the sidewalk. At this moment, Su Ningjing was lying quietly on the ground. Her body was in pain, and she felt extremely wronged. However, the woman did not care much and shouted, ¡°Do you have eyes? You actually knocked my bag to the ground!¡± Su Ningjing felt even more aggrieved. Crystal tears kept rolling down like flowing water. She spent a lot of effort trying to get up from the ground. However, Su Ningjing¡¯s body was in pain and she could not get up at all. At this moment, a tall figure appeared at the side and said softly, ¡°Let me help you.¡± As he spoke, Lin Fan stretched out his hand and helped Su Ningjing up. Su Ningjing only felt that this hand was warm and broad, giving her an infinite sense of security. The woman opposite her was still shouting, ¡°Do you know what bag I have? I just bought this LV bag yesterday! ¡°Now that it¡¯s on the ground and scratched, pay for it! You have to compensate me! ¡°Otherwise, this matter will not end today!¡± The woman¡¯s voice was very loud, and it quickly attracted the attention of many people. ¡°Then¡­¡± Su Ningjing whispered. ¡°How much do I have to pay?¡± ¡°I bought it yesterday for 13,800 yuan! Now you¡¯ve scratched it! Compensate the original price!¡± the woman shouted. Su Ningjing¡¯s pretty face instantly turned pale. 13,800 yuan! She had already sent all the money back home. Now, she could not even afford 800 yuan, let alone 13,800 yuan. What should she do? Lin Fan looked at Su Ningjing and had a rough guess in his heart. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll pay for it.¡± As he spoke, Lin Fan took out his phone and scanned the woman¡¯s WeChat payment code. 13,800 yuan was directly transferred to her account! ¡°That¡¯s more like it!¡± the woman said with satisfaction. She snorted and prepared to leave. ¡°Wait!¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Hmm?¡± The woman said, ¡°What else do you want?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve settled the matter of my friend compensating you for the bag. Now, it¡¯s time to settle the matter of you pushing her to the ground,¡± Lin Fan said coldly. ¡°What do you want?!¡± The woman frowned and said in a deep voice. ¡°You pushed my friend down, causing her to suffer serious physical and psychological damage. 1.38 million will be enough for compensation,¡± Lin Fan said calmly. He only lost 13,800 yuan for the bag. Now, he actually wanted her to pay 1.38 million! The price was directly increased by 100 times! ¡°1.38 million?¡± the woman said sternly. ¡°You must be dreaming! I¡¯m leaving right now. Let¡¯s see what you can do to me!¡± As she spoke, she prepared to walk forward. However, she quickly noticed Lin Fan¡¯s sinister gaze. Her heart tightened for some reason, and she stopped in her tracks. ¡°Are you deliberately looking for trouble? No one in Jiangbei has ever dared to treat me like this! I¡¯d like to see how you¡¯re going to ask for 1.38 million later!¡± After the woman finished speaking, she took out her phone and made a call. ¡°Brother Hai? It¡¯s me, Xiao Qian¡­ ¡°I¡¯m being bullied on Qiankun Road¡­ Brother Hai, you have to help me¡­ ¡°Yes, yes. I¡¯ll wait for you here.¡± The woman¡¯s tone on the phone was no longer as arrogant as before. Her voice was very coy, and it made people have goosebumps. After hanging up the call, her expression became extremely arrogant. She snorted at Lin Fan and Su Ningjing and did not say anything else. Su Ningjing said worriedly, ¡°M-Mr. Lin, why don¡¯t we forget about it¡­ Let¡¯s go.¡± She did not want Lin Fan to be in danger because of her. Lin Fan patted Su Ningjing¡¯s shoulder gently and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take care of everything.¡± Lin Fan had Violent Aesthetics, so he could easily take on a hundred people. With Lin Fan¡¯s current status and identity, there was nothing for him to be afraid of. At this moment, a series of dull footsteps came from afar. A large group of young men with colorful hair strode over. When Xiao Qian saw the man walking in front, she quickly went up to him and said coquettishly, ¡°Brother Hai, you¡¯re finally here¡­ I was about to be bullied to death¡­¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± the man asked. ¡°How dare someone bully my woman in Jiangbei? Come, quickly tell me who it is!¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s me!¡± The man looked in the direction of the voice. His heart trembled and his eyes immediately rolled back. Chapter 179 - 179 Apologize; Ask! 179 Apologize; Ask! Brother Hai and Brother Hao were famous thugs in Jiangbei. Generally speaking, two tigers could not live on the same mountain. However, Brother Hai and Brother Hao were different. They were brothers and very good partners. In fact, this was normal¡­ After all, the market in Jiangbei was too big. It was impossible for them to take it all by themselves. On the contrary, only by working together could they help each other, strengthen each other, and obtain more benefits. That day¡­ Brother Hai was discussing something with Brother Hao. Suddenly, Brother Hao¡¯s subordinate suddenly called and said that their men had encountered trouble at a barbecue stall. Brother Hao was furious and immediately wanted to bring people over. After all, if one of their own people was beaten up by others in their territory, it would be a slap to their own face. Brother Hai thought that he had nothing to do, so he went over to take a look too. However, Brother Hai did not expect Brother Hao¡¯s subordinate to be so bold as to break the nose of the leader of Jiangbei. At that moment, Big Brother Hai was almost scared out of his wits. Immediately after, Brother Hai, Brother Hao, and the others were surrounded by a large group of people. They did not dare to resist or escape at all. They were all taken away. However, Brother Hai and Brother Hao were not on the same side. Therefore, he was released early. Brother Hao and the others, on the other hand, did not get to enjoy similar treatment. Even so, Brother Hai would never forget this matter. When they were arrested, Brother Hai clearly remembered that the leader of Jiangbei, the captain of Jiangbei¡¯s investigation team, and the others were extremely respectful to a young man. Therefore, he secretly memorized the young man¡¯s appearance. Brother Hai knew that he definitely could not afford to offend that person. However¡­ Brother Hai did not expect to meet him again here today. It was Lin Fan! He was actually provoked? Someone who even the captain of the investigation team and the leaders of Jiangbei City had to treat with respect was provoked? Just thinking about it made Brother Hai¡¯s forehead sweat. His legs even started to tremble. ¡°Brother Hai, you must teach him a lesson!¡± Xiao Qian shouted from the side. It would have been fine if Xiao Qian had not opened her mouth, but now that she did, the anger in Brother Hai¡¯s heart exploded like a volcano. It would have been impossible for him to provoke this big shot. It was all because of Xiao Qian! It was all her fault! Bastard! Bastard! Big Brother Hai slapped Xiao Qian¡¯s face. Soon, a red and swollen palm print appeared on Xiao Qian¡¯s face. She didn¡¯t expect Brother Hai to suddenly hit her. She was stunned. Brother Hai ignored her and bowed respectfully. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± ¡°Oh? Do you know me?¡± Lin Fan said. Brother Hai nodded and said, ¡°I saw you at the barbecue stall last time¡­¡± In fact, there was no need for Brother Hai to say anything. Lin Fan knew that he had seen him at the barbecue stall. After all, Lin Fan had a photographic memory. ¡°Is this woman your friend?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Do you want to stand up for her?¡± Brother Hai was shocked and quickly said, ¡°No, no! I have nothing to do with her! ¡°She actually provoked you¡­ Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely make sure she gets the harshest punishment! I¡¯ll definitely satisfy you.¡± Lin Fan did not reply. Instead, he said to Xiao Qian, who was covering her face, ¡°How is it? Do you still want to ask for help? I can continue to wait here.¡± ¡°How dare she?!¡± Brother Hai glared at her. Xiao Qian lowered her head in fear. Even though Xiao Qian was very pitiful at the moment, Lin Fan did not let her off just because of that. If a person provoked him but he let them off because they were pretending to be pitiful, would he not be too easy to bully? Lin Fan said calmly, ¡°Since you don¡¯t want to call for help, then do as I said. Compensate my friend!¡± Brother Hai saw that Xiao Qian did not say anything and did not agree to compensate Lin Fan¡¯s friend. He shouted, ¡°Damn it! Hurry up and do as Mr. Lin says!¡± ¡°Alright¡­ Alright¡­¡± Xiao Qian trembled in fear and slowly took out her phone. Money was a good thing. However, if she made Brother Hai angry, the consequences would be terrible. Lin Fan turned to Su Ningjing and said, ¡°Ningjing, open the payment code on your phone.¡± ¡°This¡­ I¡­ I don¡¯t need it,¡± Su Ningjing whispered. However, Lin Fan did not care much about it. He picked up Su Ningjing¡¯s phone and opened the payment code. Beep! Beep! Beep! ¡­ Xiao Qian transferred the money several times. She transferred almost all the money she had obtained through some means over the years. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan nodded his head in satisfaction and said, ¡°Very good, you can leave now.¡± Brother Hai saw that Lin Fan had calmed down, and the huge rock in his heart was finally lifted. ¡°Yes, yes. Mr. Lin, please go ahead. Please go ahead¡­¡± Following that, he brought Xiao Qian and his underlings and hurriedly retreated into the distance, not daring to stay any longer. What if Mr. Lin regretted letting them go? The people who were standing around watching the show from afar also quickly dispersed, afraid that they would cause trouble. Lin Fan returned the phone to Su Ningjing and asked, ¡°Why are you handing out flyers here?¡± Su Ningjing said softly, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you weren¡¯t going to the villa today? I¡­ I just came out to do some part-time work¡­ ¡°If it¡¯s not allowed, I won¡¯t do it again.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°I didn¡¯t say you¡¯re not allowed. When you agreed to work for me, I told you that you only need to help clean the villa when I go to the villa. Apart from that, you only need to cook. ¡°But¡­ it¡¯s tiring to distribute flyers, and the salary isn¡¯t high. Why are you doing this?¡± ¡°Have you used up all your advance pay?¡± If it were in the past, Su Ningjing would have just lowered her head and said nothing. At this moment, she did not want to hide anything from Lin Fan. This was a form of trust. ¡°Granny is sick, so I sent all the money back¡­¡± Su Ningjing said. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡± Su Ningjing took out her phone and said, ¡°This money¡­ I¡¯ll transfer it to you¡­¡± Obviously, she was referring to the 1.38 million yuan she had just received. Lin Fan said, ¡°Do you think I lack this bit of money? Besides, this money is compensation for the physical and mental damage that woman caused you. What¡¯s the point of me taking it?¡± After a pause, he continued, ¡°You¡¯ve dropped your flyers, and it¡¯s getting late¡­ Let¡¯s go eat something first.¡± Then, without waiting for Su Ningjing¡¯s reply, he pulled her directly toward the Pagani Huayra. Originally, Lin Fan had planned to go to Yi Ke City for a meal and rest. However, after this incident, he changed his mind. Su Ningjing felt his broad and powerful hand again. Her heart warmed again, and her pretty face blushed. Chapter 180 - 180 Class Gathering; Jealousy! 180 Class Gathering; Jealousy! KZ Restaurant was a famous high-end Western restaurant in Jiangbei. The environment was elegant, and the decorations were luxurious. When sitting in the dining room at this hour, one could see the afterglow of the setting sun through the transparent French windows. Coupled with the music as well as exquisite and high-grade food¡­ It gave people endless enjoyment. When had Su Ningjing ever been to such a place? After she walked into the dining room, she was at a loss. Lin Fan had obviously noticed this. He helped cut the M5 top-grade Australian beef and placed it on Su Ningjing¡¯s plate. ¡°Try this piece of beef. It¡¯s not bad.¡± He smiled. Su Ningjing listened to his voice¡­ Her originally uneasy heart suddenly felt much more at ease for some reason. She could not help but swallow her saliva as she smelled the rich fragrance of meat in the air. However, she still did not eat. Lin Fan could tell that she wanted to eat and asked, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you eating?¡± ¡°You¡­ You eat first¡­¡± Su Ningjing said. Lin Fan was slightly stunned. He immediately remembered that every time he ate, he would eat first before she did. He wanted to persuade Su Ningjing not to do this. However, Lin Fan understood that this was not something that could be changed with a single sentence. Hence, Lin Fan picked up his knife and fork and wolfed down his steak. ¡°I¡¯m done. You can eat too.¡± Sure enough, Su Ningjing also started eating her steak. Although Su Ningjing was petite, she had a big appetite. A whole steak, foie gras, caviar, snails, black truffle¡­ She finished everything. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Are you full?¡± ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Su Ningjing touched her bulging belly and nodded hard. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go back, then,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡­ Coiling Dragon Villa. Ever since Su Ningjing came, the entire villa was always clean, tidy, and comfortable. After Lin Fan took a shower, he lay down on the soft bed and felt very comfortable. At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket vibrated. It turned out to be a WeChat message from his roommate, Song Yi. Song Yi: [Brother Lin Fan, are you going to take the bus with us tomorrow or drive there?] When Lin Fan saw this message, he was stunned for a moment. After a while, he started to reply. [Where are we going?] Song Yi: [So you really don¡¯t know, Brother Lin Fan. On Friday, the class monitor said that it¡¯s going to be a holiday soon, so he wants to organize a class gathering before the end of the year.] Lin Fan had slept the whole day on that day. Of course, he did not know about this. Lin Fan only used to gather with his classmates back in high school. Thinking back to that time, he really missed it. Now that the class was going to hold an event, he naturally could not miss it. Lin Fan replied: [Alright, I¡¯ll take the bus with you tomorrow morning.] ¡­ The next day. A gentle breeze blew the treetops outside the window, gently swaying the branches. Lin Fan opened his eyes as well. He looked at his phone out of habit. As usual, a text message appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 3,600,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, Lin Fan turned his attention back to the system. [Do you want to sign in?] ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! Congratulations on signing in successfully. You¡¯ve received ten million yuan.] Early in the morning, he had earned more than 13 million! Lin Fan pursed his lips and said, ¡°Today¡¯s luck isn¡¯t that good.¡± Then, Lin Fan slowly got up and walked out. At this moment, Su Ningjing had already prepared breakfast. Her cooking skills had always been good, and Lin Fan was very satisfied. As it was the weekend, there were obviously fewer cars on the road than usual. The journey was smooth, and Lin Fan soon arrived at Jiangbei University. He had just parked his car when Song Yi, Ma Zhong, Zheng Jinbao, and a large group of students walked over from afar. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you came on time,¡± Song Yi said. ¡°Of course, I can¡¯t be late for the class gathering.¡± Lin Fan smiled. Song Jiaxin walked forward. She saw a drop of sweat on Lin Fan¡¯s forehead and handed him a bottle of Evian mineral water. ¡°Drink some water.¡± Seeing this¡­ Jealousy appeared on the faces of the surrounding students. One had to know¡­ Song Jiaxin was the famous ice beauty in the class! It had always been the boys who brought her water. When had she ever taken the initiative to bring water to a boy? However, when they remembered that this boy was Lin Fan, they could only bury the jealousy in their hearts. That was because Lin Fan was not only handsome. He even solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, and invented the earthquake prediction device¡­ Lin Fan¡­ He was deserving of it. Pan Chen, the class monitor, who was wearing sportswear, also saw this scene. However, other than jealousy, there was also a hint of hatred in his eyes. It was because before Lin Fan transferred to his class, Pan Chen had always been the most popular person in the class. All the students admired him. Other than Song Jiaxin, all the other girls had a crush on him. Pan Chen felt that almost all the girls would flock to him if he wanted to. In the end, when Lin Fan arrived¡­ Everything changed. Everyone in the class shifted their admiration toward Lin Fan. Even Song Jiaxin, who had never given him any attention, was very close to Lin Fan. With so many things happening, Pan Chen developed a grudge against Lin Fan. Honk! At this moment, a bus slowly drove over. ¡°The bus is here,¡± Pan Chen called out. ¡°Everyone, get on the bus in an orderly manner.¡± Originally, Zheng Jinbao and the others wanted to sit with Lin Fan. However, after they looked at Song Jiaxin who was standing beside Lin Fan, they decisively retreated to the side. On the bus¡­ All the students were chatting and playing. It was very relaxed and lively. Time, like flowing water, quickly disappeared. Not long after, the bus stopped in front of the Xinglong Resort Hotel in the suburbs. The students looked at the beautiful fountain outside the resort and the fashionable building. Their eyes lit up. Someone could not help but ask, ¡°Class Monitor, we came to such a good place to gather¡­ Is the class fee enough?¡± Pan Chen patted his chest and said proudly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, my dad is the general manager of Xinglong. Today¡¯s expenses are 30% off!¡± When the students heard this, they were all extremely excited. Then, they ran into the resort together. They had to admit that this resort hotel was indeed not bad. KTV, billiard room, swimming pool, barbecue area, table tennis room¡­ Everything was readily available and was very suitable for gatherings and sightseeing. The students were laughing and joking around, having a great time. ¡°This place that the class monitor found is really fun!¡± ¡°Yes, it is!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Pan Chen listened to his classmates¡¯ praises and smiled smugly in Lin Fan¡¯s direction. So what if Lin Fan had answered those math questions? He was still inferior to him! Chapter 181 - 181 Lin Fan, Why Are You Here? 181 Lin Fan, Why Are You Here? At this moment¡­ In the top-floor private room of Xinglong Resort Hotel, a few bottles of whiskey were scattered on the coffee table. Gao Zhenbo, who was lying on the round bed, slowly opened his eyes. He could not help but rub his swollen head. Gao Zhenbo was in a bad mood! That was because he was chased out of the hotel in public yesterday. It was a great humiliation! It was simply a great humiliation! Therefore, Gao Zhenbo went straight to his family¡¯s resort hotel yesterday and drank a few big bottles of whiskey before falling asleep. However, as soon as he thought about what happened yesterday, he was still furious. ¡°Lin Fan, just you wait!¡± Gao Zhenbo said fiercely. He lay down for a while more before he used a lot of strength to slowly get up. Gao Zhenbo rubbed his empty stomach and picked up the phone by the bed. ¡°Get someone to send some food up.¡± Then, he casually threw the phone to the side. After a while, the doorbell rang. The general manager, Pan Yongli, who was wearing a white shirt, walked in slowly with exquisite food in his hands. ¡°Young Master Gao, these are Australian lobsters, top-grade sea urchins, top-grade caviar, and top-grade Australian steak that were flown here early this morning,¡± Pan Yongli said fawningly. ¡°The best chef of our Xinglong Resort Hotel carefully cooked them¡­ ¡°You can drink some of this soup first. It¡¯s delicious and can warm your stomach and increase your appetite.¡± As he spoke, he carefully poured out a bowl of fragrant meat soup. Gao Zhenbo took a sip and nodded slightly. Seeing this¡­ Pan Yongli seemed to have received the best praise, and his entire face was filled with joy. This bowl of soup seemed to really increase his appetite. Gao Zhenbo enthusiastically ate the lobsters, sea urchins, and steak¡­ His mouth was bursting with flavor. When Pan Yongli saw this scene, he was even happier than when he was eating delicious food. Gao Zhenbo burped after eating half of the food. He picked his teeth and said, ¡°What programs are there at the resort today?¡± ¡°A magician from Jiangbei is here,¡± Pan Yongli said. ¡°Shall we invite him to perform later?¡± ¡°Magic?¡± Gao Zhenbo yawned. ¡°What¡¯s there to see?¡± ¡°Then how many models should I arrange for?¡± Pan Yongli asked. A runway show? At the resort hotel? Obviously, Pan Yongli was hinting at something. However, Gao Zhenbo was not interested. He pursed his lips and said, ¡°They¡¯re just trash that can be ridden by a thousand people.¡± Pan Yongli felt a headache coming on. At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang. ¡°Young Master Gao, I have to take this call first,¡± he said apologetically. ¡°Alright,¡± Gao Zhenbo said lightly. Only then did Pan Yongli realize that it was his son, Pan Chen. ¡°Lil Chen, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Pan Yongli asked softly. ¡°I¡¯ve already brought my classmates to Xinglong Resort Hotel. Dad, are you at the hotel? Do you have time to come over later?¡± Pan Chen said. Although the students were already having a lot of fun, Pan Chen felt that it was not enough. He wanted his father to come over and show off his strength. With this¡­ He wanted his image in the hearts of his classmates to reach the highest point again! Pan Yongli frowned. It was already good enough for him to let his son bring his classmates to the resort hotel for a gathering. His son still wanted him to go over? What was this nonsense? Pan Yongli was about to scold him. However, when he saw Gao Zhenbo sitting in front of him, his eyes turned slightly and his tone immediately changed. ¡°If I have time later, I¡¯ll go over and take a look.¡± After saying that, he hung up the phone. Then, Pan Yongli said in a flattering tone, ¡°Young Master Gao, my son brought his classmates for a gathering at our hotel today. Do you want to go and take a look?¡± ¡°Is your son still studying?¡± Gao Zhenbo asked. ¡°Yes, he¡¯s studying at Jiangbei University,¡± Pan Yongli replied. ¡°Oh?¡± Gao Zhenbo¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. Compared to models, young and quiet college students were obviously more attractive to him. Especially the students from Jiangbei University¡­ This was the best university in Jiangbei. The higher the difficulty, the more one would have a special desire to conquer. Gao Zhenbo liked this feeling of conquest. Otherwise, he would not have forced the beautiful streamers to drink yesterday. ¡°Since you have such good ability, your son must be good too!¡± Gao Zhenbo said. ¡°Since he¡¯s here, of course, we have to go and take a look! ¡°Maybe he can take up a management role in my Aiya Group in the future! ¡°It¡¯s his fortune that Young Master Gao is able to meet him!¡± Pan Yongli was overjoyed. ¡­ At this moment, Pan Chen had already received a message from Pan Yongli. Gao Zhenbo was coming to see him? Pan Chen almost jumped up in joy. One had to know¡­ Gao Zhenbo was the young master of Aiya Group and the future chairman! If he could build a good relationship with him, why would he have to worry about not being rich in the future? Pan Chen¡¯s face was full of smiles. He could already see a beautiful life ahead of him. He glanced at Lin Fan. He thought to himself, ¡®You solved those problems, right? You think that by doing that, no one will be able to outdo you in the future?¡¯ Pan Chen cleared his throat and said, ¡°Students, students, please be quiet!¡± The students who were playing around could not help but stop. Everyone turned to Pan Chen. Pan Chen enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. He smiled and said, ¡°Let me tell everyone a piece of good news. Later, this hotel¡­ No! The young master of a company with a market value of billions will be coming over. ¡°If we build a good relationship with him, it¡¯ll definitely be beneficial to us in the future! We¡¯ll have no problem securing jobs after graduation!¡± As soon as he said this, all the students revealed a touch of excitement. A company with a market value of billions! To them, this was definitely a colossus! Some of them subconsciously tidied up their clothes. Some of the girls even took out their makeup mirrors and carefully touched up their makeup. After all, the first impression was very important. What if they really left a good impression on that young master? They might even become friends. That was definitely a great thing! Seeing this¡­ Pan Chen¡¯s face lit up. His father, Pan Yongli, had already made it very clear in his text message that he had to let the beautiful girls in class prepare well. Pan Chen naturally understood what this meant. At this moment, footsteps could be heard from afar. Then, Pan Yongli and Gao Zhenbo walked over slowly. Pan Chen quickly went up to him and bowed 90 degrees like a loyal pug. He said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Young Master Gao.¡± Gao Zhenbo nodded and looked at the students in front of him. When he saw some pretty girls, he nodded in his heart. The next moment¡­ Gao Zhenbo raised his eyebrows and shouted, ¡°Lin Fan, why are you here?¡± Chapter 182 - 182 Dont Regret It! 182 Don¡¯t Regret It! Gao Zhenbo¡¯s voice was extremely loud. It immediately attracted the attention of all the students present. They all looked in Gao Zhenbo¡¯s direction. They suddenly realized¡­ the person he was talking to was Lin Fan! At this moment, Lin Fan also noticed Gao Zhenbo. His face revealed a look of surprise. After all, they had just met yesterday. Unexpectedly¡­ they met again today. Was this what it meant when they said the world was small? After Gao Zhenbo¡¯s initial anger, the corners of his mouth curled up as he sneered in his heart. The heavens really had eyes! ¡®You chased me out yesterday. Today, it¡¯s my turn to take revenge!¡¯ Gao Zhenbo glanced at everyone again and said, ¡°Is Lin Fan your classmate?¡± ¡°Yes, he¡¯s a classmate of ours. His name is Lin Fan,¡± Pan Chen bent down and answered like a pug. ¡°I know it¡¯s not easy for you students. You only get a bit of money for your monthly living expenses¡­¡± Gao Zhenbo said earnestly. ¡°Today, it¡¯s probably very rare for you to come to Xinglong Resort Hotel for a gathering. ¡°Pan Chen, your father is the general manager of Xinglong Resort Hotel. I¡¯m willing to bear all the expenses for this gathering! ¡°Thank you, Young Master Gao!¡± Pan Chen said excitedly. Then, he did not forget to throw a smug smile at his classmates. It was as if he was saying, ¡®How is it? I¡¯m amazing, right?¡¯ They did not need to spend money today, and they could gather in such a good place. The students smiled. This was awesome! At this moment, Gao Zhenbo continued, ¡°But the prerequisite is that you have to chase Lin Fan out! Because I don¡¯t like him!¡± As soon as he said that, the scene immediately fell silent. However, Pan Chen was not bothered by this. On the contrary, he was very happy! That was because he had long been unhappy with Lin Fan. Now that he could chase him out, not only could he vent his anger, but he could also suppress Lin Fan and raise his status in the class! Thinking of this¡­ Pan Chen turned around and walked in front of Lin Fan. He looked troubled and said, ¡°Lin Fan, uhh¡­ You also know that our class fee is very limited¡­ ¡°For the sake of class, why don¡¯t you suffer a little?¡± Lin Fan glanced at Pan Chen and was about to say something when Song Yi called out. ¡°My *ss! What right do you have to kick Brother Lin Fan out!¡± ¡°This is our class gathering!¡± Zheng Jinbao shouted. ¡°You¡¯re kicking people out just for some money? Bullsh*t!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Ma Zhong shouted. Instantly, many of the students echoed. ¡°This gathering is supposed to be fun.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have much money, but I can still save up for the gathering.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s free, then why do we pay class fees?¡± ¡°If we ask Lin Fan to leave now, does that mean the next time we gather and a big shot offers us free food, another one of us will be kicked out too?¡± ¡­ It was normal for such a situation to occur. After all, most people were not like Pan Chen, who was blinded by jealousy. They worshipped Lin Fan. Now that someone wanted to chase away the person they admired just because of the cost of the gathering, they naturally would not allow it. Pan Chen did not expect so many people to object. He turned to look at Gao Zhenbo, who had an ugly expression on his face. He said hurriedly, ¡°Young Master Gao, let me persuade the students again. ¡°Students, quiet down, quiet down¡­¡± ¡°Quiet, my *ss! Pan Chen, if you want to please Young Master Gao, that¡¯s your business! Why should Brother Lin Fan leave?¡± Song Yi shouted. ¡°I¡¯ve finally seen Pan Chen¡¯s true colors today. Class monitor? Pah!¡± ¡°And that Young Master Gao, does he think he¡¯s so great just because he¡¯s rich?¡± Everyone started cursing. Instantly, Gao Zhenbo¡¯s expression turned even uglier as he sneered, ¡°Alright, alright, alright¡­ If you don¡¯t want to chase Lin Fan away, then all of you can scram!¡± As he spoke, he picked up the phone on his waist and was about to make a call. Since he could not make the students chase Lin Fan away, he would settle for the next best thing and use a more violent method. At this moment, Lin Fan, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke up, ¡°There¡¯s no need to make a call. ¡°Gao Zhenbo, this is your hotel. You can indeed kick me out. ¡°But do you know the consequences of kicking me out?¡± ¡°What consequences?¡± Gao Zhenbo sneered. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m scared? Why would I be afraid?¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Remember what you said today.¡± Then, he turned around and walked out. Zheng Jinbao, Song Yi, and the other students followed closely behind. Song Jiaxin, who was sitting not far away, also walked out and said coldly, ¡°Gao Zhenbo, I guarantee that you¡¯ll definitely regret today¡¯s matter!¡± Gao Zhenbo¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He did not even notice that Song Jiaxin was there. Moreover, from her tone, it seemed like she had a good relationship with Lin Fan. One had to know¡­ The Song family¡¯s power was not small. Gao Zhenbo opened his mouth, wanting to explain something. However, Song Jiaxin did not give him a chance at all and turned to leave. Seeing this¡­ Gao Zhenbo could only give up. He thought to himself, ¡®My Aiya Group doesn¡¯t rely on the Song family. What¡¯s so great about it?¡¯ Thinking of this, Gao Zhenbo relaxed again. ¡­ After Lin Fan walked out of Xinglong Resort Hotel, he looked at the students behind him and said, ¡°It¡¯s my fault that the gathering today was interrupted¡­¡± ¡°Brother Fan, what are you talking about?¡± ¡°We¡¯re all classmates. We definitely have to leave together.¡± All the students voiced out. Lin Fan said, ¡°However, our gathering shouldn¡¯t end like this. If everyone trusts me, leave the rest of the activities to me¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡± ¡°Of course!¡± ¡°Haha! I can¡¯t wait!¡± Many students answered one after another. Lin Fan nodded and took out his phone. He dialed the number of the manager of Fei Long Security Company, Wang Shengli. Soon, the call was connected and Wang Shengli¡¯s respectful voice sounded. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin!¡± ¡°Manager Wang, can you arrange a bus?¡± asked Lin Fan. ¡°Of course!¡± Wang Shengli said without hesitation. His tone was filled with excitement. It was no wonder¡­ After all, it was a rare opportunity to show off in front of Lin Fan, the boss of Fei Long Security Dragon. ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Arrange a bus to come to Xinglong Resort Hotel.¡± ¡°Yes! It¡¯ll definitely arrive within 20 minutes!¡± Wang Shengli said. 18 minutes later, a brand new luxury bus appeared in front of Lin Fan. All the students sat down with smiles on their faces. ¡°Go to AC Clubhouse,¡± Lin Fan said to Wang Shengli. As soon as he said this, many students¡¯ hearts could not help but beat faster. Zheng Jinbao¡¯s and Song Yi¡¯s faces revealed a look of reminiscence, while Ma Zhong could not help but squirm. Chapter 183 - 183 Bullying Lin Fan; Slap Him to Death! 183 Bullying Lin Fan; Slap Him to Death! AC Club. This was the place where Tan Shengyu had brought them to when Lin Fan had bought a Ferrari. Lin Fan remembered that they could eat, drink tea, sing, and play games inside. It was a good place for gatherings. Not long after, the luxury bus stopped steadily at the entrance of AC Clubhouse. The two tall beauties standing at the door smiled when they saw so many people. They said sweetly, ¡°Welcome to AC Clubhouse.¡± These two beauties were tall and slender with exquisite curves. Their voices were filled with magnetism. All the students felt their bodies go soft. When they followed Lin Fan into AC Clubhouse, they stepped on the wool rug and looked at the diamond chandelier as well as the many other luxurious decorations. Their mouths were completely wide open. Lin Fan, on the other hand, looked extremely relaxed and calm. ¡°You guys didn¡¯t manage to eat your fill just now, right? Let¡¯s eat something first.¡± Then, under the lead of the beautiful waitress, everyone came to a place filled with Australian lobster, lamb chops, roasted suckling pig, and mantis shrimp¡­ It was a restaurant with all kinds of luxurious delicacies. In fact, the students had already eaten some food and were not very hungry. However, after seeing the delicacies, everyone could not help but swallow their saliva. ¡°What are you guys standing there for? Come and eat,¡± Lin Fan said. The students looked at each other and finally walked toward the food together. The ingredients were high-end, and the cooking was excellent. Everyone ate happily. Their stomachs were expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan was also very happy. He said, ¡°You can play with everything in AC Clubhouse. Don¡¯t stand on ceremony.¡± ¡°Shall we go and relax a little?¡± Zheng Jinbao chuckled. ¡°I think so too!¡± Song Yi chuckled. Ma Zhong, who was beside them, could not help but squirm again, looking conflicted. However, his footsteps did not stop. A male student overheard the conversation between Song Yi and Zheng Jinbao and could not help but ask, ¡°Have you been here before?¡± ¡°Brother Lin Fan brought us here once before. As for how what fun there is here¡­ You¡¯ll know when you come with us.¡± Zheng Jinbao had an expression of understanding. The eyes of the people beside them lit up when they heard this. When they changed into bathrobes and came to an antique hall, they saw a group of beautiful women with graceful figures dressed in traditional Hua Nation clothes. They were completely stunned. On this day, all the students felt as if they were in heaven. They were full of relaxation and laughter. It was not until 9 pm that everyone walked out of AC Clubhouse with smiles on their faces. ¡°I wonder if it¡¯s expensive here,¡± a classmate whispered. Obviously, he had fallen in love with AC Club and wanted to come and play in the future. ¡°How much? Let me tell you, I saw the bill when Lin Fan paid just now. He spent a total of 780,000!¡± Hiss! The surrounding students all gasped. Then, they looked at Lin Fan with even more admiration. Not only was he a mathematician, but he was also an inventor¡­ and a tycoon! When he stepped out of AC Clubhouse, a crisp notification sounded in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! Congratulations on completing the hidden mission¡ªorganize a satisfying class gathering. You¡¯ve received five silver packets.] When Lin Fan heard this, his lips curled up. He had completed a mission by holding a random gathering. His luck was pretty good! Then, the luxury bus took the students back to Jiangbei University. In the male dormitory. After today¡¯s gathering, the students were even closer to Lin Fan. A large group of students stayed in Room 104. They chatted with Lin Fan until 12 o¡¯clock before reluctantly returning to their own rooms to sleep. ¡­ While Lin Fan was chatting¡­ Jiangbei University, female dormitory, Room 606. Song Jiaxin was different from her other three roommates. When they returned to the dormitory, they were still chatting and laughing. On the other hand, Song Jiaxin¡¯s smile instantly disappeared, and her entire face became serious and extremely cold. Song Jiaxin took out her phone and sent a message to the Future group on WeChat. Song Jiaxin: [Lin Fan was humiliated by Aiya Group¡¯s young master, Gao Zhenbo.] After this message appeared, the originally calm group immediately exploded. Liu Yuhang: [What? Gao Zhenbo, that brat, dares to bully Brother Fan? He¡¯s going against the heavens! Damn it!] Tan Shengyu: [Gao Zhenbo? When did he become so arrogant?] Duan Qian: [I¡¯ve been unhappy with this guy for a long time! Now, he actually dares to humiliate Brother Lin Fan! How bold!] Liu Yuhang: [I¡¯m going to teach that kid a lesson now!] Tan Shengyu: [Brother Liu, I¡¯ll do it with you! I haven¡¯t moved my fists for a long time.] Duan Qian: [I¡¯m going too!] Zhang Bin: [Add me in!] Sun Luguo: [Don¡¯t be anxious.] Liu Yuhang: [Sun Luguo, what do you mean? Is it because Sun Pharmaceuticals has a partnership with Aiya Group that you don¡¯t want to teach Gao Zhenbo a lesson? [If you want to persuade me, then shut up!] Sun Luguo: [Are you stupid? My Sun Pharmaceuticals and Aiya Group have long stopped working together. Even if there was a cooperation, it would be immediately gone because he bullied Brother Lin Fan! [What I mean is, it¡¯s too light to just teach Gao Zhenbo a lesson. [We can all be said to represent our families¡­ [If we gather our strength, we can attack Aiya Group from all aspects, including stocks, banks, real estate, logistics, entertainment, hotels, and so on. We can directly take him down¡­ What do you think?] Song Jiaxin: [Good idea!] Liu Yuhang: [Sun Luguo, I used to think that you were so bad that you were useless. Now it seems that being bad is useful!] Sun Luguo was speechless. Tan Shengyu: [Kill Aiya Group? I agree!] Duan Qian: [Gao Zhenbo humiliated Brother Fan. I must slap him to death. I agree!] Zhang Bin: [I agree too!] Chapter 184 - 184 Big Storm; The Company Collapsed! 184 Big Storm; The Company Collapsed! Song Jiaxin, Liu Yuhang, Sun Luguo, Tan Shengyu, Duan Qian, Zhang Bin, and the others all contacted their elders that night and told them everything. They were all direct descendants of their families. This time, it was a joint operation with so many forces. Besides, they had earned a lot of money previously from Lin Fan¡¯s investment ability. There was no reason for the elders of their families to decline. A huge storm targeted at Aiya Group began. Regarding this¡­ The chairman of Aiya Group, Gao Feng, had no idea about it. The next day, Gao Feng walked slowly to the company with a beer belly as usual. He came to the spacious and quiet chairman¡¯s office and first sipped a cup of fragrant coffee. Then, through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, he looked down at the busy street. Gao Feng¡¯s face revealed a smug look. This was because doing this made him feel like he was high above, like a god who controlled everything. At this moment, a series of urgent phone rings rang throughout the entire office, breaking the peaceful enjoyment of the peak. Gao Feng could not help but frown, and a hint of displeasure appeared on his face. ¡°What is it?¡± Gao Feng said gloomily. ¡°Chairman, bad news!¡± An anxious male voice came from the phone. ¡°What do you mean?! Mind your words!¡± Gao Feng shouted. ¡°Yes¡­ I¡¯m sorry, Chairman,¡± the man said. ¡°Tell me, what is it?¡± Gao Feng said. ¡°Blooming Farmer¡¯s Market suddenly stopped providing vegetables and meat to our company¡­Now, all our hotels and restaurants¡­ All of them don¡¯t have any fresh food,¡± the man said. ¡°Our company¡¯s daily needs are so huge. Does Blooming Farmer¡¯s Market not want to make money?¡± Gao Feng asked. ¡°Yes¡­ That¡¯s right,¡± the man said. When Gao Feng heard this, he almost choked. ¡°Go find another farmer¡¯s market!¡± he shouted. ¡°Yes, Chairman.¡± Obviously, the man also felt Gao Feng¡¯s anger and did not dare to refute him. After hanging up the phone, Gao Feng grunted and said, ¡°You disturbed me over such a small matter and ruined my mood! Do you even know how to do your job?!¡± However¡­ Gao Feng did not know that this phone call was just the beginning of the day. Just as he hung up the phone, the office phone rang again. ¡°What are you doing?!¡± Gao Feng said unhappily. ¡°Chairman, bad news!¡± A female voice came from the phone. ¡°Speak properly!¡± Gao Feng shouted. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Chairman,¡± the woman said. ¡°What is it?¡± Gao Feng took a deep breath. ¡°Chairman, the video of us using gutter oil has been exposed! The entire internet is discussing this matter now,¡± the woman said in a panic. ¡°What? How exactly are you doing your job? How did this get exposed? Hurry up and delete the video! Hurry up and get PR to do their work!¡± Gao Feng shouted. ¡°Yes, yes¡­¡± the woman responded repeatedly. After hanging up, the phone rang again. ¡°Chairman, bad news!¡± A gentle male voice came from the phone. Gao Feng really wanted to say scream. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and say, ¡°Speak!¡± ¡°Our stocks have fallen to the limit¡­¡± the refined man said. ¡°What?¡± Gao Feng exclaimed in surprise. The stock price had fallen by 10%! His company¡¯s market value was in the billions, which meant that he had lost hundreds of millions in a day. This was something he could not accept. ¡°Quickly investigate why this is happening!¡± Gao Feng shouted anxiously. ¡°It¡¯s because our company¡¯s use of gutter oil has completely exploded on the internet,¡± the refined man said. Gao Feng thought for a moment and said, ¡°I¡¯ll transfer 200 million over. Buy the stocks back and stabilize the stock price! Hurry up with public relations!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± the refined man said. After Gao Feng hung up the phone, he asked the finance department to transfer 200 million yuan. When he was done, his phone rang again. ¡°Chairman, bad news! The bank said that there¡¯s a problem with the loan. We have to return the one billion debt today. Otherwise, they¡¯ll take enforcement measures,¡± the man on the phone said anxiously. ¡°What?¡± Gao Feng shouted in fear. One had to know¡­ Their company¡¯s total liquid capital was only 300 million. He had just transferred 200 million yuan to buy back the stocks and had already spent most of the company¡¯s funds. Now¡­ to return the bank one billion? What should he do? Gao Feng dialed the bank number. However, the bank¡¯s attitude was very firm. Gao Feng quickly dialed the number of the finance department again, wanting to stop them from using 200 million yuan to buy stocks¡­ However, it was already too late¡­ Gao Feng had to solve the negative news of the company while raising money¡­ He was haggard. Just like that, the huge Aiya Group finally collapsed in just three days. ¡­ On this day¡­ Gao Zhenbo drove his Ferrari home. When Gao Feng, who was sitting in the living room, saw him, his eyes immediately turned red. He shouted sternly, ¡°Bastard, you still dare to come back!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Feng kicked him fiercely. Bang! Gao Zhenbo fell to the ground in pain and curled up. A rich lady with heavy makeup and a pearl necklace pushed Gao Feng to the side and said sternly, ¡°Why did you hit your son?!¡± ¡°Why did I hit him?¡± Gao Feng asked. ¡°Ask him what he did!¡± With the help of the noblewoman, Gao Zhenbo struggled to get up. ¡°Dad, what did I do?¡± Gao Zhenbo was puzzled. ¡°What did you do?¡± Gao Feng said, ¡°Alright, let me ask you. Do you know Lin Fan?¡± In the past three days, Aiya Group had been targeted and suppressed by many large forces in finance, food, logistics, entertainment, and other aspects. Gao Feng found it very strange, so he spent a lot of effort only to find out that the problem was his son. ¡°You hit me because I offended Lin Fan?¡± Gao Zhenbo shouted. Even though Gao Zhenbo had already sought revenge on Lin Fan, every time he thought about how he was chased out, he would still grit his teeth. Therefore, Gao Zhenbo was immediately pissed off that his father hit him because of Lin Fan. ¡°You¡¯re still stubborn!¡± Gao Feng shouted sternly. At the same time, he slapped Gao Zhenbo¡¯s face. ¡°Bastard, you hit our son again. I¡¯ll fight you to the death!¡± The noblewoman shouted and stretched out her hands to grab Gao Feng¡¯s arm. ¡°Ah!¡± Immediately, several scarlet marks appeared on Gao Feng¡¯s arm, and blood flowed. ¡°You shrew!¡± Gao Feng flung the noblewoman aside. ¡°How dare you scold me and hit me?! Divorce, I want to divorce you!¡± the noblewoman wailed. Gao Feng was not moved at all and shouted, ¡°So be it! I don¡¯t want to live with you anymore! Take your bastard son and get lost!¡± The noblewoman was not to be trifled with. ¡°You¡¯re finally saying what¡¯s on your mind, huh? Then let¡¯s divorce! Aiya Group was established after we got married. I have half of the shares! Hurry up and transfer them to me!¡± ¡°Half of the shares? Then you have to see if our Aiya Group is still around!¡± Gao Feng sneered. ¡°What do you mean?¡± The noblewoman was puzzled. ¡°What do you mean? You¡¯ll have to ask your precious son! He offended Lin Fan, and our Aiya Group is completely gone now!¡± Gao Feng shouted. Silence! The entire house suddenly fell silent. The noblewoman and Gao Zhenbo were completely stunned on the spot. Chapter 185 - 185 A Just Cause Has Many Helpers; Grandma Is Seriously Ill! 185 A Just Cause Has Many Helpers; Grandma Is Seriously Ill! Lin Fan did not know anything about Aiya Group. For the past three days, he ate, went to class, and slept every day¡­ His days were very relaxed and pleasant. When the school bell rang today, a crisp notification sounded in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve completed the hidden mission¡ªa just cause has many helpers. You¡¯ve received five silver packets.] When Lin Fan heard this, he could not help but reveal a doubtful look. What was this hidden mission about? A just cause has many helpers? He did not seem to have done anything. He suddenly completed a mission? At this moment, Song Jiaxin slowly walked over and said, ¡°Liu Yuhang, Sun Luguo, Tan Shengyu, Duan Qian, and Zhang Bin caused Aiya Group to go bankrupt.¡± Lin Fan¡¯s face revealed a look of realization. Only then did he understand what the mission was about. Before he could teach Gao Zhenbo a lesson, his family and company were already gone? Although Song Jiaxin said it calmly, Lin Fan knew that they had spent a lot of effort. After all, Aiya Group was a company with a market value of billions. Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you guys. Call everyone out to gather.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Song Jiaxin nodded. ¡­ Jiangbei Hotel. Room 888. Duan Qian and Liu Yuhang walked in one after another. ¡°I¡¯ve eaten at Jiangbei Hotel before¡­¡± Duan Qian praised. ¡°However, I never knew Room 888 existed!¡± ¡°This renovation¡­ Isn¡¯t this a little too high-end?!¡± ¡°It¡¯s normal that you don¡¯t know,¡± Liu Yuhang said. ¡°Room 888 is only open to some big shots. I¡¯ve only eaten here once with the leaders of Jiangbei before. ¡°Room 888 is not only beautifully decorated, but the dishes, cigarettes, and wine in this room are all specially provided! You can¡¯t buy them outside!¡± Hearing this, Duan Qian¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. He said excitedly, ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean I can enjoy myself today?¡± The few of them chatted as they waited. Not long after, Zhang Bin and Tan Shengyu followed them in. They were also full of praise for Room 888. When Sun Luguo walked in wearing a white suit, Liu Yuhang immediately called out, ¡°I was wondering why you came so late. You actually went to change into a flashy suit!¡± Sun Luguo glanced at Liu Yuhang but did not say anything. After so many years, Sun Luguo was completely immune to Liu Yuhang¡¯s vulgarities. ¡°Since everyone is here, I¡¯ll get them to start serving the dishes,¡± Lin Fan said. After saying that, he pressed a button on the table. Not long after, dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted good, as well as specially provided Maotai and cigarettes, were served one after another. Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯ll remember everything you¡¯ve done for me! We¡¯re all good friends, so I won¡¯t say thank you! This toast is for you!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan raised his wine glass and downed the contents in one gulp. With Lin Fan¡¯s strength, it would be a piece of cake for him to destroy Aiya Group. However, since Liu Yuhang and Sun Luguo had chosen to help, Lin Fan would remember their deed. Everyone naturally understood what Lin Fan meant. Their faces were all filled with joy. Not to mention the power behind Lin Fan, just the financial ability he displayed last time was enough to make everyone befriend him. They raised their glasses and said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re too polite.¡± ¡°What toast? Let¡¯s toast together!¡± Everyone had a great time during the meal. It was not until 9:30 pm that everyone walked out of Jiangbei Hotel reeking of alcohol. Of course, Lin Fan was an exception. He had Drinking Gentleman. After drinking, the alcohol would directly break down and there would be no alcohol smell on him at all. As it was quite late, Lin Fan did not go back to school or Yi Ke City. Instead, he went to Coiling Dragon Villa. When Lin Fan opened the door, he found Su Ningjing lying on the floor. Her eyes were filled with tears. Lin Fan rushed forward and called out, ¡°Su Ningjing! Su Ningjing!¡± However, she did not react at all. Hence, Lin Fan carried her up and placed her on the sofa. At this moment, Su Ningjing seemed to have woken up as she slowly opened her eyes. ¡°Su Ningjing, why did you faint on the ground?¡± asked Lin Fan. After Lin Fan mentioned it, Su Ningjing immediately thought of something. Large tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes as she said, ¡°Granny¡¯s surgery failed. I want to go back and see Granny¡­¡± As she spoke, Su Ningjing struggled to stand up. However, after she fell, her arms and legs were injured. For a moment, she did not have the strength to stand up. Lin Fan said, ¡°Where¡¯s your granny¡¯s house? I¡¯ll bring you there.¡± Then, Lin Fan did not wait for Su Ningjing to reply and helped her up again. At first, Su Ningjing was still nervous and flustered. However, the moment Lin Fan picked her up, Su Ningjing felt his strong arms and warm embrace. For some reason, she suddenly felt at ease. This feeling¡­ It was as if as long as Lin Fan was around, all the difficulties and dangers would disappear. ¡°In Li City, Southern province,¡± Su Ning said quietly. ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied and placed Su Ningjing in the front passenger seat of the Pagani Huayra. At the same time, he took out his phone and quickly checked the plane tickets. After all, Li City was more than 2,000 kilometers away from Jiangbei. Obviously, going by plane would be faster. ¡°There¡¯s a flight to Li City in an hour!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan bought two first-class seats. Then, he stepped on the accelerator and sped toward the airport. The road at night was very empty. Lin Fan¡¯s Pagani Huayra seemed to have turned into a beam of light in the night as it sped forward. When Lin Fan arrived at the airport with Su Ningjing, it was time to check-in. Boom! After a roar, the plane¡¯s speed began to increase. Finally, it completely disappeared into the dark night sky. Lin Fan saw that Su Ningjing¡¯s pretty face was still filled with worry. He said softly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Granny will be fine.¡± If an ordinary person said such words, Su Ningjing would definitely think that the other party was just comforting her. She would not care at all. However, after Lin Fan said that¡­ For some reason, Su Ningjing instinctively chose to believe him. In the distance, a full moon hung high in the sky, bright and clear. About two hours later, the plane landed steadily at Li City Airport. At this moment, a Toyota was already waiting in the parking lot. This was the car that Lin Fan had rented before he boarded the plane. He showed his driver¡¯s license, proved his identity, and drove Su Ningjing straight to the hospital. When Su Ningjing smelled the pungent disinfectant in the hospital, it seemed to have healed Su Ningjing¡¯s legs and feet. It made her lose all sense of pain as she kept speeding up her pace. In the distance, a 12 or 13-year-old girl was sitting alone on a bench. Her thin and weak face was extremely haggard. ¡°Sister!¡± Su Ningjing called out softly. ¡°Sis!¡± The little girl looked up excitedly. She walked over with her slender legs and rushed toward Su Ningjing. The sisters hugged each other warmly. Chapter 186 - 186 Buying a Car; Miracle! 186 Buying a Car; Miracle! Su Ningjing¡¯s parents passed away a long time ago. Although Su Ningjing really wanted to stay by her sister and grandmother¡¯s side, in order to support her entire family, she resolutely left her hometown after she became an adult and worked outside to earn money all year round. It had been a long time since Su Ningjing had seen her sister. She had been away for a long time, and her relationship with her sister had faded. It was because she wanted to save on travel expenses so that her grandmother and sister could live a better life. ¡°How¡¯s Granny?¡± Su Ningjing asked. ¡°Granny¡­¡± Ah Mei felt the urge to cry, and sparkling tears kept rolling down. ¡°The doctor said that Grandma¡¯s surgery failed¡­She¡¯s going to die¡­ Boo-hoo¡­¡± When Su Ning heard this, fatigue and pain seemed to instantly hit her heart, causing her entire body to sway. Lin Fan hurriedly supported Su Ningjing and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, there¡¯s still a way. Let¡¯s go and see Granny first.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Su Ningjing nodded vigorously. As it was close to two in the morning, the patients and their families were already asleep. In the multi-patient ward, snoring and grinding sounds could be heard from time to time. Su Ningjing looked at the emaciated old lady who was lying in the innermost part of the ward. She was wearing an oxygen mask, and her body was thin and haggard¡­ Immediately, large drops of tears rolled down her face. At this moment, the device beside her suddenly let out a series of urgent alarms, and the curve of the electrocardiogram was almost straightened. Su Ningjing and Ah Mei cried out in panic, ¡°Granny!¡± Granny!¡± Lin Fan raised his eyebrows. He spent ten million yuan to buy some Medical Water from the system and poured it into the old lady¡¯s mouth. It had to be said that the effect of Medical Water was indeed excellent. Soon, the device stopped its alarm, and the EKG returned to its usual ups and downs. The old lady even slowly opened her eyes and called out, ¡°Ah Jing, is that you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me, Granny. It¡¯s me!¡± Su Ningjing said excitedly. ¡°Granny!¡± Ah Mei called out. ¡°It¡¯s great to see you again,¡± the old woman said in a hoarse voice. ¡°Granny, you can still see me often in the future.¡± Su Ningjing said. That night, Su Ningjing and her family were all exhausted, but they spent the night happily. ¡­ The next day. Lin Fan drove out to buy breakfast in the morning. ¡°Tsk!¡± However, after driving for a short distance, the rented Toyota suddenly stalled. Lin Fan wanted to turn on the engine again, but it was still stagnant there. ¡°Are all rented cars in such bad condition?¡± Lin Fan pursed his lips. Then, he took out his phone and dialed the rental company¡¯s number, wanting to return the Toyota to them. When Lin Fan passed by a Porsche shop, he walked straight in. ¡°Welcome to Porsche.¡± The salesperson standing at the door smiled. Lin Fan nodded and asked, ¡°Do you have an SUV?¡± Lin Fan remembered that Su Ningjing lived in the mountains. An SUV was more convenient. ¡°Yes.¡± The salesperson led Lin Fan to the exhibition hall at the back. He pointed at a tall and cool white SUV and said, ¡°This is a Cayenne, it has¡­¡± However, before the salesperson could introduce the car to Lin Fan, Lin Fan interrupted, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take it.¡± As he spoke, he handed over a bank card. The salesperson was stunned. This was it? What was going on? He had not introduced the configuration or the price. After a while, the salesperson said, ¡°Uhh¡­ Which Cayenne do you want? ¡°In addition, you need to add some options when you buy a Porsche car¡­ Why don¡¯t you choose them first?¡± Lin Fan waved his hand. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. Just add whatever you think is necessary. However, I only have one request. Can I pick up the car today?¡± ¡°No¡­ No problem,¡± the salesperson said in a daze. Lin Fan nodded his head in satisfaction. Just like that¡­ A 4.0T Cayenne with a floor-to-ceiling model of 2.56 million yuan was completed in just a few minutes. As for the registration and insurance, Lin Fan spent another 10,000 yuan and asked the shop to help him settle everything. He did not have that much time to wait. When Lin Fan returned to the hospital with breakfast, a large group of doctors was performing a detailed examination on the old lady¡¯s body. All the doctors had a look of disbelief on their faces. It was because they knew the old lady¡¯s situation very well. After the failure of the surgery yesterday, all the doctors unanimously agreed that there was no point in treating her. According to their experience, this old lady could only last two days at most. However¡­ What was the situation now? The results of the check-up just now showed that the old lady¡¯s physical indicators had completely returned to normal. Normal? No! Her current health could even be compared to some young people! ¡°A miracle!¡± a bald doctor concluded. Su Ningjing could not help but look at Lin Fan. She understood¡­ that this was not a miracle at all! It was Lin Fan! It was Lin Fan who had saved her! Last night, Granny was critically ill. After Lin Fan gave her some medicine, she was completely fine! ¡°Don¡¯t give the old lady any medication for the time being,¡± the bald doctor said after a while. ¡°Let her stay in the hospital for observation for two more days.¡± After saying that, he led the group of doctors out. ¡°Thank you, Lin Fan,¡± Su Ningjing said softly. Lin Fan naturally understood what she was thanking him for. He waved his hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter. Let¡¯s eat something first.¡± Since the old lady had returned to normal, Su Ningjing and Ah Mei¡¯s appetite had improved a lot. Doughnuts, steamed buns, and noodles¡­ They finished all the food. At this moment, a doctor wearing black-rimmed glasses slowly walked over and asked, ¡°Has the old lady taken her medicine?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that she doesn¡¯t need to take medicine anymore?¡± Su Ningjing asked curiously. The doctor could not help but cough awkwardly and said, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m just here to remind you that she doesn¡¯t need to take any medicine.¡± Then, he picked up the stethoscope and pretended to check the old lady¡¯s body. In fact, the doctor with glasses was not here to remind the patient¡¯s family of this. During his ward rounds in the morning, he saw Su Ningjing. At that time, the doctor with glasses was shocked. However, since there were other doctors present, he did not strike up a conversation directly. At this moment, he had specially come over to strike up a conversation. ¡°Ningjing, have some water,¡± said Lin Fan. ¡°Alright,¡± Su Ningjing answered and took the water. Only then did the doctor notice Lin Fan. He looked at Lin Fan¡¯s tall and handsome appearance and felt a sense of danger. ¡°Are you¡­ her brother?¡± the doctor asked. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Oh, no. I¡¯m her friend.¡± As he spoke, he even patted Su Ningjing¡¯s shoulder to show his closeness. If someone else had done this, Su Ningjing would have immediately dodged to the side. However, it was Lin Fan¡­ Her pretty face was flushed red, and her heart was beating wildly. She was completely filled with nervousness and happiness. Chapter 187 - 187 Eating; Sitting in My Car Is More Comfortable! 187 Eating; Sitting in My Car Is More Comfortable! The doctor with glasses was so jealous that he was trembling when he saw how intimate the two of them were. Why did such a beauty belong to someone else? He suppressed the unwillingness in his heart and took out a pen and paper to write a few words casually. He pretended to record the patient¡¯s condition before slowly leaving the ward. The entire ward returned to silence. Time continued to flow. Soon, it was 12 pm. The phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket vibrated. The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 12,222 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 99 yuan.] ¡­ Lin Fan received a total of 31,922 yuan from today¡¯s red packets. He chose to ignore such a small amount of money. Then, Lin Fan looked at the 510 unopened red packets on the screen. These were the red packets that Lin Fan had earned from buying the Porsche Cayenne, treating Song Jiaxin, Sun Luguo, and the others to a meal during the gathering, and all his expenses during this period of time. Lin Fan muttered in his heart, ¡®I¡¯ll open them all when I have 1,000 red packets.¡¯ Then, he turned his attention to the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! The sign-in was successful. Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the Palace Hotel. It¡¯s located in Li City. It¡¯s high-end, luxurious, and has good local delicacies.¡± ¡°Coo!¡± At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s stomach let out a soft groan. He muttered in his heart, ¡®Did I get a restaurant? Coincidentally, I¡¯m a little hungry.¡¯ ¡°Ningjing, Ah Mei, it¡¯s time for dinner. Let¡¯s go eat together.¡± The two of them looked at the old lady lying on the hospital bed and hesitated for a moment. ¡°I¡¯m fine now,¡± the old lady said with a smile. ¡°You guys can eat without worry. Just bring me some porridge when you come back.¡± The two of them listened to the old lady¡¯s kind and energetic voice and nodded. At this moment, the sun was high in the sky. A few birds jumped from one dense treetop to another dense treetop as if they were hiding from the sunlight. Just as Lin Fan and the rest walked out of the hospital, a BMW drove out slowly. The bespectacled doctor was sitting in the car and happened to see the three of them. A hint of joy appeared on his face. He rolled down the window and said in a surprised tone, ¡°Huh, Su Ningjing, why are you guys here? Are you guys going out? The sun is so bright now. I¡¯ll give you a ride!¡± ¡°Thank you for your kindness, but I won¡¯t trouble you. There¡¯s a bus stop ahead. It¡¯s very convenient for us to ride it.¡± In the morning, Lin Fan told Su Ningjing that the Toyota had broken down and had been returned to the rental company. That was why Su Ningjing wanted to take the bus out for dinner. When the doctor with glasses heard this, he was even happier. Although Su Ningjing¡¯s boyfriend was handsome, he did not even have a car. How could he compare to her? He had a BMW! It seemed like¡­ He still had a great chance of snatching Su Ningjing away. At the thought of this, the bespectacled doctor looked at Lin Fan with a look of pride and disdain. Then, he said, ¡°What trouble could it be? It¡¯s not a big deal. Besides, are you willing to let your little sister squeeze on the bus? ¡°It¡¯s time to get off work now. There¡¯ll be many people on the bus. What if she¡¯s squeezed out? Children should be taken good care of.¡± If the bespectacled doctor had used other reasons to invite Su Ningjing to sit in the BMW, then Su Ningjing would have definitely rejected him immediately. However, since he brought up Ah Mei¡¯s safety¡­ This made Su Ningjing hesitate. What should she do if her sister was really injured? When the doctor with glasses saw this, he was overjoyed. He knew that there was hope! Therefore, he opened his mouth again. ¡°Su Ningjing, didn¡¯t you see the news? A while ago, a child died on the bus because the bus suddenly braked¡­ That was a bloody lesson! ¡°So, you guys should just take my car¡­ It¡¯s safer and more comfortable!¡± When Su Ningjing heard this, she was completely moved. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something. Beep, beep! At this moment, a loud beeping noise sounded in the distance. Then, a brand new Porsche Cayenne drove over from afar and stopped steadily behind them. A salesperson in a suit walked down from the driver¡¯s seat and came to Lin Fan respectfully. ¡°Mr. Lin, your car.¡± Obviously, this was the Porsche Cayenne that Lin Fan had bought in the morning. It had to be said that the efficiency of the Porsche shop was indeed good. In just one morning, all the procedures were completed. ¡°Okay,¡± Lin Fan replied. Then, he turned around and said, ¡°The doctor is right. There are indeed many people on the bus. It¡¯s more comfortable to take a private car.¡± ¡°Ningjing, Ah Mei, let¡¯s get in the car.¡± Su Ningjing did not hesitate at all. She brought her sister to sit in the Porsche Cayenne that was still emitting a faint fragrance. Boom! Lin Fan got into the driver¡¯s seat and stepped on the accelerator. The tall and cool Porsche Cayenne sped forward like a gust of wind. This scene¡­ The doctor in glasses saw everything, and his face was filled with disbelief. That young man actually had a Porsche Cayenne! Moreover, it was a 4.0T! How was this possible? That was a super luxury car worth millions! Originally, the bespectacled doctor wanted to show off his BMW to let Su Ningjing understand his strength and let Lin Fan understand the gap between them. Now¡­ What was going on? Honk, honk! At this moment, an urgent honking noise sounded behind him. ¡°Hey! What¡¯s the person in front doing at the entrance? Hurry up and leave!¡± ¡°Who¡¯s blocking the entrance? Don¡¯t you know that this is the exit of the hospital? Security, do you know who it is?¡± ¡°Director, it seems to be Dr. Huang Kai from the surgical department,¡± the security guard beside him said respectfully. ¡°Huang Kai, why are you blocking the entrance? Get out of the way!¡± the dean shouted. When the doctor with glasses heard this voice, he was so scared that his entire body trembled. He said in a panic, ¡°Yes¡­ I¡¯m sorry, Dean. I¡¯ll move away now.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly stepped on the accelerator and drove forward. One had to know¡­ The dean of Li City Central Hospital was famous for being narrow-minded. He had blocked the entrance for so long just now. He was afraid that the dean would make things difficult for him! When the doctor with glasses thought of this, he felt a wave of frustration. As a result, he accidentally ran a red light. Seeing this¡­ The bespectacled doctor was even more annoyed. ¡°What the hell, what kind of bad luck am I having today?¡± he said angrily. ¡°No! I have to eat something good to change my luck!¡± After saying that, the doctor turned the steering wheel and headed toward a famous restaurant in Li City. Chapter 188 - 188 The Boss Is My Best Friend; Hello, Boss! 188 The Boss Is My Best Friend; Hello, Boss! Just as the doctor with glasses said, it was time to get off work, and there were many cars on the way. Lin Fan was stuck in a traffic jam for a while, and he was not familiar with the route. It took him nearly half an hour to reach the entrance of the Palace Hotel. This was a tall and majestic building with green bricks and tiles. There were two ferocious lions standing on both sides. Looking through the red door, one could see a spacious courtyard, green pine trees, and a bridge. It was filled with a classical aura. If it weren¡¯t for the words ¡®Palace Hotel¡¯ hanging on the door, perhaps everyone would have thought that this was a historical site similar to a prince¡¯s residence. Many men and women dressed in gorgeous clothes walked inside. Ah Mei stood at the door and raised her head in admiration. ¡°Wow! It¡¯s so beautiful!¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we change places to eat?¡± Su Ningjing hesitated. She had always been thrifty and did not want to waste money eating in such a good place. Lin Fan knew what she was thinking and smiled. ¡°Why change places? Wouldn¡¯t it be more economical to eat at my own restaurant?¡± Su Ningjing could not help but blink her big eyes, and a hint of doubt appeared on her pretty face. At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly sounded behind them. ¡°Huh? Su Ningjing! Are you guys here to eat too?¡± The doctor with glasses did not expect to meet Su Ningjing again as soon as he separated from her. This was simply¡­ It was the heavens who had created an opportunity for him! As expected, his luck had improved! Su Ningjing turned around and said in surprise, ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°What a coincidence!¡± the doctor said happily. ¡°You must have been attracted by the Palace Hotel¡¯s reputation, right? The restaurant here is indeed very good! ¡°The environment is elegant and filled with a classical aura¡­ It¡¯s simply like a royal residence! ¡°More importantly, I heard that the restaurant¡¯s menu was passed down from the royal chefs in the past. The taste of the food is simply superb!¡± When the doctor said this, it was as if he had already smelled the delicious food. He could not help but swallow his saliva. ¡°It¡¯s also because of this that the Palace Hotel is very popular! It¡¯s time to eat now, so there shouldn¡¯t be any tables left. ¡°But it doesn¡¯t matter! I¡¯m good friends with the owner of this restaurant. It won¡¯t be a problem if I go in and tell him!¡± The bespectacled doctor could not help but pat his chest, extremely pleased with himself. In fact, how could he have such a close relationship with the boss? He only knew the foreman of the Palace Hotel. However, in order to show off his abilities in front of Su Ningjing, the doctor began to brag. The bespectacled doctor looked at Lin Fan arrogantly. It was as if he was saying, ¡®Although you drive a Cayenne, I know the owner of the Palace Hotel! My status is higher than yours!¡¯ Lin Fan could not help but laugh. ¡°Am I really close to you?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The doctor was stunned. ¡°I don¡¯t even know your name. What do you mean by that?¡± Lin Fan nodded his head in agreement. Then, the bespectacled doctor took the lead and walked in front. ¡°Welcome to the Palace Hotel.¡± The two attendants standing at the door smiled. ¡°Are there any vacant tables?¡± the doctor asked. ¡°It¡¯s best if it¡¯s a private room.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sir,¡± a waiter said. ¡°Our restaurant is fully booked. If you don¡¯t mind, you can sit at the side and wait for a while.¡± Initially, the doctor with glasses thought that there would be an empty table. However, it was really fully booked. He straightened his neck and said, ¡°Your boss and I are brothers! Tell your foreman, Zhang Chengjie, to help us arrange a table.¡± The attendants had seen all kinds of people before. They were smart people. How could they not understand that the bespectacled doctor did not know their boss at all? Otherwise, how could it be possible for Zhang Chengjie, that little foreman, to give them a table? It was likely that the head foreman, or even the manager, or the general manager, would come out. The attendants despised the doctor, but they still smiled. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Foreman Zhang Chengjie is on leave today, so I¡¯m afraid he can¡¯t arrange a table for you. ¡°Why don¡¯t you wait by the side?¡± When the doctor with glasses heard this, he could only cough awkwardly and continue to brag, ¡°The foreman who knows my identity is not here today¡­ Su Ningjing, why don¡¯t we wait for a table? Or should we go to another restaurant?¡± At this moment, hurried footsteps could be heard from afar. A man in a suit jogged over. The two attendants standing at the door hurriedly said, ¡°Hello, General Manager.¡± The general manager, Zheng Cong, did not pay attention to the two of them. He walked in front of Lin Fan and bowed. He said in an extremely respectful and excited tone, ¡°Hello, Boss!¡± There were two reasons why the Palace Hotel was so popular. Firstly, the Palace Restaurant¡¯s dishes and environment were indeed not bad. Secondly, Zheng Cong took great care of it and put almost all his energy into the Palace Hotel. There was no subordinate who did not want their boss to know what they had done. Zheng Cong was no exception. He wanted to meet his boss and perform well. Unfortunately, he never had the chance. However, he did not expect that when he went downstairs to check on the situation of the restaurant today, his wish would actually come true. ¡°General manager? Are you the general manager of the Palace Hotel?¡± ¡°Yes, my name is Zheng Cong. Boss, you can just call me Lil Zheng,¡± Zheng Cong hurriedly said. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll call you Zheng Cong.¡± After all, Zheng Cong was about 40 years old. It was a little strange to call him Lil Zheng. Lin Fan continued, ¡°The restaurant is well taken care of!¡± ¡°Thank you for your compliment, Boss,¡± Zheng Cong said excitedly. Although it was just a short sentence, Zheng Cong was ecstatic. It was as if he had heard the most beautiful sound in the world. Lin Fan asked, ¡°Are there any available tables? My friends and I are here for dinner.¡± ¡°Yes, yes! Our restaurant has reserved the most luxurious private room for you! This way, please,¡± Zheng Cong said respectfully. The bespectacled doctor standing at the side could not help but ask, ¡°He¡­ What kind of boss is he?¡± Zheng Cong thought that the doctor with glasses was also one of Lin Fan¡¯s friends. ¡°Of course, he¡¯s the owner of our Palace Hotel!¡± Boom! His words were like a clap of thunder in the doctor¡¯s ears. When Zheng Cong addressed Lin Fan as Boss, he already had a guess. However, at this moment, he could not help but be shocked to the extreme. Lin Fan was the owner of the Palace Hotel? He had just said that he was good friends with the owner of the Palace Hotel. No wonder Lin Fan asked if their relationship was good. This¡­ This¡­ He was bragging, but he was bragging to the main character? At this moment, the doctor with glasses wished he could find a place to hide. Therefore, he did not follow Lin Fan and the rest to the luxury room. Instead, he lowered his head and left the Palace Hotel quickly. Embarrassing! It was too embarrassing! Chapter 189 - 189 Delicious; Arriving at the Mountain! 189 Delicious; Arriving at the Mountain! On the top floor of the Palace Hotel, there was a very spacious and tall private room with carved railings and jade walls. The entire private room was luxurious and elegant, giving people the feeling that they had transformed into royalty. Then, Zheng Cong personally carried three porcelain bowls with gold edges into the room. ¡°This is the imperial Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Soup. It¡¯s made from a variety of meat and 18 kinds of seasonings. After 48 hours of boiling¡­ the soup is rich and the meat soft. It melts in your mouth. Legend has it that it was the emperor¡¯s favorite dish back then!¡± As he spoke, Zheng Cong lifted the lids of the bowls one by one. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! In an instant, a fragrant smell filled the entire private room, making people¡¯s eyes widen. Immediately after, Zheng Cong brought over another dish. It was red and had an extremely rich fragrance. ¡°This is stir-fried phoenix tongue. The original dish is stir-fried with the tongue of a sparrow. Nowadays, this kind of bird is almost extinct and has become a precious animal. ¡°However, after many years of research by our chefs, the tongues of chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons, and other birds can reproduce the same flavor by mixing 11 kinds of condiments. This dish isn¡¯t inferior to the original stir-fried phoenix tongue!¡± Then, Zheng Cong served a golden dish. ¡°This is pork tenderloin. ¡°Back then, most of the princes and ministers wore purses made of golden silk. Therefore, the imperial chefs imitated the purses and made this dish. ¡°This dish is made from top-quality pork tenderloin, sliced jade orchid, mushrooms, eggs, and other ingredients. It¡¯s a delicacy and was very popular among the princes and ministers.¡± A moment later, Zheng Cong carried a large golden clay pot over. He placed the clay pot in the middle and slowly opened the lid. Whoosh! In an instant, a crisp sound rang out and soared into the sky. An entire duck was suspended in the middle of all kinds of precious condiments. ¡°This is stewed duck,¡± Zheng Cong said. ¡°After washing the duck, 15 kinds of seasonings were added and the duck was put in a clay pot jar to steam over a gentle fire for three days. It makes the meat completely soft and melt-in-your-mouth tender. It¡¯s fatty but not greasy¡­ Then, the chefs use the best soup to cook it for 12 hours to boost its fragrance¡­¡± Zheng Cong introduced each dish in detail as it was a family treasure. ¡°Gulp!¡± Ah Mei, who was sitting in her seat, finally could not help but swallow her saliva. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Some dishes have been served. Eat quickly. It won¡¯t be good if it gets cold.¡± However, Su Ningjing and Ah Mei still did not move. They just looked at the delicious food on the table quietly with their big, sparkling eyes. Lin Fan suddenly realized that they were waiting for him to eat. He could not help but say, ¡°Ningjing, quickly eat with Ah Mei. In the future, you can eat with me. ¡°Ah Mei must have been hungry for a long time. If she continues to starve, her body won¡¯t be able to take it.¡± Su Ningjing had long developed the habit of eating leftovers. When she heard the first half of Lin Fan¡¯s words, she was still hesitant. However, after hearing the second half of Lin Fan¡¯s words, she started to hesitate. She looked at her sister who was swallowing her saliva and finally nodded. ¡°Ah¡­ Sister, let¡¯s eat together.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Ah Mei nodded vigorously. Lin Fan, Su Ningjing, and Ah Mei were all very happy with the meal. Before they left, they packed a portion of lean meat porridge and some light dishes. Only then did they leave the Palace Hotel with Zheng Cong personally sending them off. In the next two days, the old lady¡¯s mental state became better and better. She could even speak with great vigor and walk without any problems. The group of doctors carried out a detailed examination and called it a miracle. Finally, the old lady was allowed to leave the hospital. At this moment, Lin Fan was driving the Porsche Cayenne, carrying Su Ningjing, Ah Mei, and granny along the winding mountain road. They welcomed the warm sunlight and kept moving forward. They saw patches of greenery, flocks of birds, and a babbling stream¡­ When the sun was high in the sky, a low house hidden in the depths of the mountain finally appeared in their field of vision. ¡°We¡¯re back!¡± Ah Mei shouted happily. A big yellow dog sitting in front of the house seemed to have noticed them. It barked excitedly and ran over happily. After Lin Fan got out of the car, he breathed in the unique fragrance of the air and looked at the mountains that pierced into the clouds in the distance. There were layers of green forests, streams, and waterfalls that fell from the sky¡­ Beautiful! This was the unique beauty of nature! He felt relaxed and comfortable. It was as if his body had been cleansed by nature, becoming ethereal. At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket vibrated. It was 12 pm, and the red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,000 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained top-grade coffee.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,999 yuan.] ¡­ He received a total of 42,121 yuan from today¡¯s red packets. Lin Fan did not mind at all. His gaze fell on the top-grade coffee beans. ¡°This premium coffee species can grow rapidly in different environments, thus producing fragrant coffee beans.¡± Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s face revealed a strange look. Top-grade coffee? Planting coffee beans? The rewards were getting stranger and stranger. Lin Fan shook his head and turned his attention back to the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Expert-Level Planting Technique.] [Expert-Level Planting Technique: Focus on farming and sweat like rain. This will show the true colors of a man, triggering supreme charm.] Lin Fan blinked his eyes. He had just obtained top-grade coffee beans, and now he had obtained an expert-level planting technique? Could this be¡­ Was he supposed to become an outstanding farmer? At this moment, Su Ningjing took a handful of red dates. They looked very delicious. Lin Fan asked, ¡°Did you grow these?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Su Ningjing nodded repeatedly. ¡°Then I¡¯m going to have a good taste of them.¡± Lin Fan smiled. Then, Lin Fan opened the trunk and prepared to take out a bottle of mineral water to wash the dates. At this moment, he realized that there was a big bag of coffee beans in the trunk. He immediately understood that this must be the top-grade coffee beans that he had just received from the red packet. Lin Fan washed the red dates and threw them into his mouth. Fragrant, crispy, and sweet! Lin Fan praised, ¡°Mhm! The taste is really good! I didn¡¯t expect that you could plant date trees here.¡± ¡°Not only date trees, but we also have orange trees, grapefruit trees, peach trees, and plum trees¡­There¡¯s a lot of land over here that can be planted,¡± Su Ningjing said. Lin Fan could not help but look in the direction that Su Ningjing was pointing. On the 30-degree slope, there was a large patch of weeds. There were no trees or mountains around to block the sun. It was indeed a good place to grow crops. Chapter 190 - 190 The Highest Punishment Is Death! 190 The Highest Punishment Is Death! While Lin Fan and Su Ningjing were eating dates, looking at the scenery, and chatting, smoke rose from the chimney of the low house. It was as if white ink was splashed on the surface of a blue lake. It flowed and spread. It was very beautiful. After a while, Ah Mei poked her head out and shouted, ¡°Brother, Sister, it¡¯s time to eat!¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied. ¡°We¡¯re coming!¡± Then, he walked into the house with Su Ningjing. Su Ningjing had walked the path of the small house countless times since she was young. However, this time, it gave Su Ningjing a completely different experience. She was here with the tall and handsome Lin Fan. The masculine warmth that Lin Fan was emitting¡­ In her memory, her father and mother seemed to have walked back home side-by-side like this. Gradually, Su Ningjing¡¯s heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, and her pretty face blushed. Ah Mei, who was standing in front, blinked her big eyes and asked in confusion, ¡°Sister, why is your face so red?¡± Su Ningjing stammered, ¡°How¡­ How is it red? Hurry up and go in to eat¡­¡± Then, she lowered her head and quickened her pace. In the low house, there was a small wooden table and a few chairs. It was very simple and tidy. Very soon¡­ Su Ningjing and Ah Mei carried out stir-fried wild vegetables, egg soup, salted radish, pickled vegetables, braised fish, and braised pork. They placed the food on the table. Lin Fan sniffed the aroma of the dishes, and his appetite was aroused. However, he soon noticed that Su Ningjing, Ah Mei, and Granny were just standing at the side. They had no intention of sitting around the table. At first, he revealed a puzzled expression. Soon, Lin Fan thought of the habit of Su Ningjing and the others eating leftovers. ¡°Ningjing, Ah Mei, Granny, let¡¯s eat together.¡± However, none of them moved. Lin Fan said, ¡°If you guys don¡¯t come, I won¡¯t eat either. ¡°Granny, you¡¯ve been standing all this time. I don¡¯t even dare to sit down. ¡°Actually, the times have completely changed. Everyone should be eating happily together.¡± As he spoke, Lin Fan stood up and helped Granny over. Granny understood that if she and the others did not eat, the meal might slowly turn cold. Thus, she nodded hesitantly and sighed. ¡°Ah Fan is right. Times have changed¡­ ¡°Ah Jing, Ah Mei, sit down and eat together.¡± Su Ningjing and Ah Mei sat down. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan smiled. Although the ingredients and cooking methods of the dishes on the table were very simple, Lin Fan was eating the food with satisfaction. After the meal, Ah Mei washed a few dates and handed them to Lin Fan. Just like before, they were sweet and delicious. Lin Fan stood in front of the door, eating dates while looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance. It was empty and silent! At this moment, Lin Fan felt as though time had stopped. He was enjoying it immensely. If he lived like this forever, he should be very happy, right? Live forever? Happiness? Lin Fan looked at the simple furnishings in the house and then looked at the hill in the distance. ¡°Ah Mei, do you want Granny to have fish and meat for every meal in the future and live a good life?¡± Today, the reason why he could eat fish and meat was that he was very happy. That was because Lin Fan and Su Ningjing had bought groceries from the supermarket in the morning. Otherwise¡­ They would have only been able to eat vegetables and pickles. ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Ah Mei nodded vigorously. ¡°Can you carry water?¡± Lin Fan asked again. ¡°Yeah!¡± Ah Mei replied. Lin Fan patted Ah Mei¡¯s head and said, ¡°Then bring a bucket of water over.¡± After saying that, Lin Fan picked up his hoe and shovel. He first carried the bag of top-grade coffee beans on his shoulder and then slowly walked toward the hill. Then, Lin Fan picked up the hoe and started to turn the slope, planting the coffee beans. One had to know¡­ Lin Fan had the skill, Violent Aesthetics. His physical strength was not something that ordinary people could compare to. In addition, he obtained Expert-Level Planting Technique not long ago¡­ Lin Fan dug the ground and planted the coffee beans. It was as easy as drinking water. He was very skilled. At this moment, Ah Mei came over with a bucket of water. Hence, after Lin Fan dug the ground and planted the beans, he had the additional task of watering them. His movements were natural and smooth, like an old farmer who had been farming for many years. This scene¡­ Su Ningjing, who had just finished cleaning up, saw everything. In Su Ningjing¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan did not seem to be farming at all. He was like an artist drawing a beautiful picture or a pianist playing a beautiful song. The scene was beautiful! He was very attractive! For a moment, Su Ningjing was a little dazed. As time passed, the setting sun shone on Lin Fan¡¯s head, bringing his beauty to its peak! His figure shone with a dazzling light under the afterglow of the setting sun. At this moment¡­ Lin Fan was the sun in Su Ningjing¡¯s heart! [Skill: Expert-Level Planting Technique, infinite charm displayed!] Su Ningjing¡¯s heart kept beating faster and faster¡­ The next moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! An unforgettable memory has been activated!] Unforgettable memory¡­ Lin Fan was stunned. The last time he was driving, he had somehow triggered an unforgettable event. He had yet to find out who it was. Now, why was it triggered when he was farming? Who was it this time? Lin Fan looked at Ah Mei who had just brought another bucket of water and secretly used his Eyes of Truth. [Appearance: 90] [Favorability: 70] Lin Fan could not help but exclaim in his heart. She was only 12 or 13 years old, and her body had yet to fully mature. Yet, she was given 90 points for her appearance. Once she grew up, what would her score be? 70 points of favorability meant that their relationship was relatively good. She was probably not the one who triggered an unforgettable memory. ¡®It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s alright¡­¡¯ She was only 12 or 13 years old. She was a little girl! The highest punishment was death! Seeing Lin Fan looking at her, Ah Mei blinked her black eyes and asked curiously, ¡°Brother, what¡¯s wrong? Is there dirt on my face?¡± After saying that, she could not help but use her mud-stained hand to wipe her small face. Originally, there was indeed nothing hidden on her face. Now¡­ there was. Ah Mei seemed to have sensed this as well. She quickly took out some water from the bucket and washed her face. Lin Fan shook his head and rubbed his chin. If it was not Ah Mei, then who was it? He slowly looked around¡­ The next moment, Lin Fan and Su Ningjing locked eyes. Time¡­ It was as if the pause button had been pressed at this moment. Su Ningjing was completely stunned. [Appearance: 95] [Favorability: 98] It turned out that the one who triggered an unforgettable memory was Su Ningjing. Chapter 191 - 191 Returning to Jiangbei; Sister Arrives! 191 Returning to Jiangbei; Sister Arrives! At this moment, Ah Mei had washed her face several times and raised her head to ask, ¡°Brother, Sister, is there anything dirty on my face?¡± Her voice was very clear and pleasant, like the sound of spring water. At this moment, it was like a stone thrown into a lake, setting off ripples and completely breaking the silence of the scene. Su Ningjing recalled the scene just now, and her heart raced again. Her pretty face turned red, and she quickly lowered her head. Lin Fan turned around and smiled, ¡°Let me see¡­ Mhm, there¡¯s nothing else. Your face is very clean.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Ah Mei said happily. At this moment, an old man carrying a bamboo basket slowly walked over and said with a smile, ¡°Young man, your farming skills are really good!¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Grandpa, you flatter me. I just watched you and learned from there.¡± ¡­ In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. In the past two days, Lin Fan had gone into the river to catch fish, climbed trees to pick fruits, and climbed mountains to pick flowers¡­ He took a good look at the surrounding scenery. Moreover, he planted all the top-grade coffee varieties on the hillside. Today, Lin Fan packed his luggage and sat quietly in the Porsche Cayenne with Su Ningjing. Under the gazes of Granny, Sister, and Big Yellow, they sped toward the airport. After all, the old lady¡¯s body had completely recovered, and the top-grade coffee beans had been planted. Although the air in the mountains was good and the environment was great¡­ Lin Fan felt that it was not suitable for him to stay for too long. Perhaps, when he was old, he would choose to find a mountain forest and live a life in a garden. Lin Fan parked the Porsche Cayenne in the airport parking lot. Then, under the meticulous care of the stewardess, they passed through the VIP passage and lay down on the spacious first-class seats. Rumble! After a loud roar, the plane began to accelerate. Like a majestic goshawk, it pierced through the clouds and soared freely under the blue sky. About two hours later, the plane finally landed steadily. Then, Lin Fan drove the Pagani Huayra from the parking lot and sped toward the Coiling Dragon Villa. When they arrived at Coiling Dragon Villa, the sun was setting. Perhaps it was because of the sunset, Su Ningjing sniffed the empty villa and smelled Lin Fan¡¯s scent. Her pretty face was as red as the setting sun. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s stomach suddenly let out a soft growl. ¡°I¡¯ll go cook first,¡± Su Ningjing said hurriedly. It had to be said that the refrigerator in Coiling Dragon Villa was indeed something that Lin Fan had spent 100,000 yuan to buy. Even if the vegetables and meat were placed in the refrigerator for several days, there was no change at all. With the sound of vegetables being washed and stir-fried, the kitchen began to fill with a fragrance that made one salivate. After eating wild animals in the mountains for a few days, returning to the city for a meal gave Lin Fan a different feeling. After eating, Lin Fan went to the bathroom to take a hot shower. Then, he lay on the sofa leisurely and played with his phone. Su Ningjing tidied up the kitchen and cleaned the villa again. Then, she went to the bathroom. Lin Fan played with his phone for a long time and could not help but feel a little bored. Hence, he turned his attention to the sign-in system. He muttered in his heart, ¡®These few days¡­ I kept getting ten million. I hope that there¡¯ll be something different today.¡¯ ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 51% of Cha Yue¡¯s shares.] Cha Yue was a unique milk tea chain from Sha City, but it was also a famous milk tea brand in the country. In Sha City, one could see a Cha Yue milk tea shop every few steps. Even so, every Chayue shop was extremely popular. Lin Fan touched his chin and said, ¡°In other words, I¡¯m now the biggest shareholder of Cha Yue? Today¡¯s sign-in is barely considered good.¡± Barely good? Cha Yan had not been listed yet. Once it was listed, it would be estimated to be at least tens of billions! In other words, Lin Fan had obtained billions of dollars worth of assets! Creak! At this moment, the bathroom door opened, and a thick mist filled the air. Then, Su Ningjing, who was wearing loose white home clothes, slowly appeared. At this moment, Su Ningjing¡¯s black hair was still a little wet. However, it was also because of this that her hair was even straighter, like a waterfall flowing down the river. Snow-white skin, beautiful facial features, and a perfect figure! In addition, the bathroom behind her was filled with mist¡­ At this moment, Su Ningjing seemed to have transformed into a fairy who had descended into the human world. Su Ningjing saw that Lin Fan was staring at her, and she could not help but be at a loss. She had just taken a shower, and her shoes were wet. They were already a little slippery, and she fell to the ground. Lin Fan¡¯s eyes were sharp, and his hands were fast. He took a big step forward and hugged her slender waist. Their eyes met, and the two of them could even smell each other¡¯s unique scent. Time froze again. Her heartbeat kept accelerating. Following that, the two of them seemed to be attracted to each other as they continued to approach each other¡­ It was late at night. Coiling Dragon Villa was extremely noisy. It was endless! ¡­ The next day, Lin Fan opened his eyes when a ray of sunlight shone on the windowsill. He glanced at the bright red stain on the white bed and picked up his phone out of habit. A text message appeared on the screen as usual. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 3,560,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, Lin Fan slowly got up and walked out. At this moment, the dining table was already filled with fried dumplings, buns, eggs, and other delicacies. Lin Fan said, ¡°You were so tired last night. You should rest well today.¡± Speaking of last night, Su Ningjing immediately thought of something. Her entire pretty face blushed, and she wished she could bury her entire head in her clothes. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan wanted to laugh. After breakfast, Lin Fan and Su Ningjing spent some time together. At this moment, his phone rang. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m in Jiangbei!¡± As soon as he picked up the call, he heard his sister, Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s, excited voice. ¡°What? Why are you in Jiangbei?¡± Lin Fan asked curiously. ¡°Brother, shouldn¡¯t you be very happy to hear that your sister is in Jiangbei?¡± Lin Xiaoyao pouted and complained. Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯m happy! Of course, I¡¯m happy! But shouldn¡¯t you be in school?¡± ¡°I finished our final exams yesterday and have a day off today, so I came to Jiangbei with two classmates,¡± Lin Xiaoyao said excitedly. Lin Fan nodded his head and said, ¡°Okay, where are you? I¡¯ll pick you up now!¡± ¡°Alright! I¡¯m getting off at East Station later!¡± Lin Xiaoyao cheered. After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan walked out and sat in the Mercedes-Benz. He stepped on the accelerator and sped into the distance. Chapter 192 - 192 Miss Out On 100 Million? 192 Miss Out On 100 Million? Jiangbei East Station was the largest railway station in Jiangbei and also the hub of the country. Every day, more than 100,000 people would get on and off the trains here. In addition to the people who picked them up¡­ There were hundreds of thousands of people at Jiangbei East Station every day! It could be said that East Station was filled with people at all times. After Lin Fan parked the car, he stood at the exit with many people. Not long after, a crisp shout sounded from the large crowd. ¡°Brother! I¡¯m here!¡± Then, Lin Xiaoyao, a quiet little girl wearing pink glasses, and a girl with a mid-part hairstyle who looked like a little adult walked over quickly. ¡°Let me introduce you guys. This is my brother, Lin Fan! He¡¯s studying at Jiangbei University, and he¡¯s still single!¡± Lin Xiaoyao chuckled. When Lin Fan heard that, he almost choked. This little girl¡­ Could it be that she wanted to introduce her two friends to him? Two high school girls? Lin Fan subconsciously used his Eyes of Truth to observe the two of them. The quiet little girl¡­ [Appearance: 85] [Favorability: 40] The girl who looked like a little adult¡­ [Appearance: 84] [Favorability: 40] Their looks did not even hit 90, and their favorability toward him was at the level of a passerby. His women all scored above 90 points. How could he have any ideas about them? Of course, the main reason was that he already had a girlfriend! Yes, that was it! Lin Xiaoyao pointed at the quiet girl and said, ¡°This is Tang Jiao.¡± Then, she pointed at the girl who looked like a little adult and said, ¡°This is Du Yujia.¡± Lin Fan nodded politely as a form of greeting. ¡°You guys should be hungry, right? Let¡¯s go and eat something first.¡± ¡°I want to eat Jiangbei¡¯s hot dry noodles! And glutinous rice chicken!¡± Lin Xiaoyao shouted excitedly. ¡°Okay!¡± Lin Fan replied and led them to the parking lot. Soon, everyone arrived in front of the Mercedes-Benz. Girls did not know much about cars. Moreover, Tang Jiao and Du Yujia were only high school students, so they were even more unclear. However, when they looked at the tall and sturdy appearance of the Mercedes-Benz G, they could not help but reveal a hint of surprise on their faces. Boom! Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped forward like a ferocious beast. Tang Jiao and Du Yujia felt the powerful driving force of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class¡­ As a result, they had a good impression of Lin Fan. At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket vibrated. 12 pm! The red packets were here! Hence, Lin Fan slammed on the brakes. Then, he turned the steering wheel and parked the car in a temporary parking space by the roadside. He quickly picked up his phone and kept tapping on the red packets. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten yuan.] ¡­ Lin Xiaoyao asked curiously, ¡°Brother, what are you doing?¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯m snatching red packets,¡± Lin Fan replied. Lin Xiaoyao was speechless. Tang Jiao was speechless. Du Yujia was speechless. The three of them were speechless. Snatching red packets? If they remembered correctly, a red packet was only 200 yuan at most, right? That was the most! Under normal circumstances, it would only be a few yuan or even a few cents, right? This¡­ Why was he so agitated? If others did not know, they would think that he was about to miss out on 100 million yuan. Initially, Tang Jiao and Du Yujia had a good impression of Lin Fan. At this moment, it had completely vanished. Lin Xiaoyao smiled in embarrassment. Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up into a smile. That was because Lin Fan had just received 10% of Weibo¡¯s shares from a red packet! One had to know¡­ Weibo was a huge enterprise with a market value of hundreds of billions! 10% of the shares were worth more than ten billion! If only Lin Fan knew what Tang Jiao and Du Yujia were thinking. He would probably tell them that if he had missed out on these red packets just now, he would not have just missed out on 100 million yuan. It was ten billion! Then, Lin Fan started the car again and sped toward Cai Ji. Cai Ji Restaurant was indeed a famous snack bar in Jiangbei. The upper and lower floors were packed. It was extremely lively. Lin Xiaoyao and the others ordered hot dry noodles, glutinous rice chicken, steamed dumplings, and many other specialties. They ate very happily, and their stomachs began to expand. ¡°Where do you want to go next?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Yujia said she just finished her exams and wants to buy a bag to reward herself,¡± Lin Xiaoyao said. ¡°Oh? What about you? Do you want to buy one as a reward?¡± Lin Fan continued to ask. ¡°Why would I want a bag? It¡¯s so tiring to carry it every day.¡± Lin Xiaoyao waved her hands. Lin Fan did not force it and asked, ¡°Where do you want to go to buy a bag?¡± ¡°MK Mall! I want to buy a Gucci bag!¡± Du Yujia said hurriedly. When Lin Fan heard this, a weird look appeared on his face. MK Mall? Was that not his own mall? Speaking of which, he had not entered the mall since the last time he obtained it. As for the Gucci bag? He even owned 5% of Gucci¡¯s shares. Du Yujia thought that Lin Fan was wondering where she got the money to buy such a high-end bag. She explained, ¡°It¡¯s my pocket money.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head casually. Then, he drove the few of them to MK Mall with ease. When Lin Fan arrived at the elevator, a middle-aged man in a suit walked over. ¡°Mr. Lin!¡± he said excitedly. ¡°You are¡­¡± Lin Fan asked curiously. ¡°I¡¯m the general manager of MK Mall, Yuan Hong!¡± The middle-aged man did not feel unhappy at all when Lin Fan did not recognize him. On the contrary, there was a hint of respect in his excited tone. It was no wonder that he would be like this. After all, Lin Fan was the boss of MK. A single word from him could make him pack up and leave! ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s you, Manager Yuan,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Mr. Lin, are you here for the year-end meeting today?¡± asked Yuan Hong. ¡°No, I¡¯m here today because my sister¡¯s classmate wants to buy a bag,¡± Lin Fan said. After a pause, he seemed to feel that as the boss, he had never held a meeting. It could even be said that he did not manage the mall at all, which was a dereliction of duty. Thus, Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s mainly because I¡¯m in a rush today.¡± Ding! At this moment, the elevator arrived. Yuan Hong was like the most considerate waiter. He bent down and personally blocked the elevator door. Under Lin Fan¡¯s instructions, he pressed the button for the fourth floor. Tang Jiao and Du Yujia were dumbfounded. The middle-aged man in front of them was the general manager of MK? Why was he so polite to Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s brother? Since Yuan Hong was still beside them, they could not ask directly. They could only look at Lin Xiaoyao with puzzled eyes. Obviously, they wanted to draw a conclusion from her. However, Lin Xiaoyao only shook her head, indicating that she was not sure either. Chapter 193 - 193 Line Up; This Is Mine! 193 Line Up; This Is Mine! Ding! The elevator stopped steadily on the fourth floor. It had to be said that KM Mall was indeed a famous mall in Jiangbei. The luxurious and trendy decorations, coupled with the presence of many big brands, attracted many people to stroll around. Walking out of the elevator, one could see the crowd coming and going, and one could hear the sound of laughter. When shopping in the KM mall, one would feel as though one¡¯s entire person had been elevated. Lin Fan and the others walked and looked around. Not long after, they arrived at the Gucci store. Du Yujia¡¯s eyes lit up as she looked at the high-end and fashionable decorations of the Gucci store. She could not wait to walk in. ¡°Welcome to Gucci!¡± The female sales assistant standing at the door smiled. Women seemed to be born with no resistance against bags. Du Yujia and Tang Jiao looked at the gorgeous Gucci bags with their mouths wide open. The female salesperson was already used to seeing this expression. She continued, ¡°May I help you?¡± Du Yujia finally reacted and said, ¡°I want to buy a bag.¡± ¡°Are you using it yourself? Is there a style requirement?¡± the saleswoman said. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s for me! Moreover, I¡¯ve already seen the bags on the internet!¡± As Du Yujia spoke, she took out her phone and pulled out a photo of a bag from her photo album. It had to be said that the female sales assistant¡¯s professional knowledge was very solid. With just a glance, she could tell the model of the bag and the inventory. ¡°This is the latest KP bag, but we don¡¯t have it in stock yet¡­¡± the saleswoman said apologetically. ¡°What? You don¡¯t?¡± Du Yujia said in disappointment. ¡°Yujia, is there anything else you like?¡± Tang Jiao asked. ¡°I¡¯ve been looking at this bag for a long time. I really like it,¡± Du Yujia said. At this moment, Lin Fan happened to see the photo of the bag on Du Yujia¡¯s phone. He was slightly stunned. This bag? One had to know¡­ When Lin Fan obtained 5% of Gucci¡¯s shares, the CEO sent a bunch of Gucci clothes and bags to Coiling Dragon Villa. Even though Lin Fan did not check the clothes and bags, he had the scanning ability. With just a glance, he remembered everything. One of the items was the bag shown in Du Yujia¡¯s photo! Lin Fan sighed in his heart, ¡®If I had known that Du Yujia wanted to buy this bag, I would have taken her to Coiling Dragon Villa. I wasted a trip here.¡¯ ¡°I know where to find this bag,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Really?¡± Du Yujia said excitedly. She had long planned to buy her favorite bag after her finals. Therefore, whenever she had free time, she would look through the information and photos of many bags on the internet. In the end, she chose the Gucci KP bag. However, the specialty store did not sell it¡­ Du Yujia could not help but feel disappointed. However, now, Lin Fan said that he knew where to find it. This made Du Yujia feel like she had seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll bring you there.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Du Yujia said happily. Then, Lin Fan, Lin Xiaoyao, Du Yujia, and Tang Jiao returned to the parking lot. Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator and drove out. When they arrived at the exit, Yuan Hong was waiting in front with a large group of men and women in suits and leather shoes. They even wore their name tags that stated their roles¡ªdirector, deputy general manager, and so on. When they saw Lin Fan¡¯s car, they immediately stood in two rows like soldiers waiting for a general to inspect them. ¡°Goodbye, Mr. Lin!¡± Their voices were uniform and very imposing. This was a send-off arranged by Yuan Hong. In his opinion, Boss Lin Fan had finally come to KM Mall. Although he could not give them any guidance, they had to show that they valued his presence. Du Yujia, Tang Jiao, and Lin Xiaoyao were stunned. After the Mercedes-Benz G-Class left KM mall, the three of them slowly came back to their senses. Lin Xiaoyao asked, ¡°Brother, those people are¡­ The general manager and director of KM Mall?¡± Lin Fan had also seen the name tags on those people. He nodded and said, ¡°Yes, they are.¡± ¡°Then¡­ Why did they do that for you? They lined up just to send you off,¡± Lin Xiaoyao continued to ask. Du Yujia and Tang Jiao pricked up their ears. Obviously, they were also very curious about this question. Lin Fan said casually, ¡°Oh, because I¡¯m the owner of KM Mall.¡± Silence! The entire car suddenly fell silent! The owner of KM Mall? One had to know that KM Mall was located in the heart of Jiangbei City, where every inch of land was worth an inch of gold! Such a huge building with such luxurious decorations and so many big brands in it¡­ How much money did it cost? Tens of millions? A few hundred million? Even though Lin Xiaoyao knew that her brother was very impressive and was even the largest shareholder of Yinshan Mall, she was still shocked. Lin Fan did not care about it that much. He drove the Mercedes-Benz and went straight to the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex. At this moment, Lin Xiaoyao and the others finally recovered from their shock. They looked at the beautiful environment in the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex, and their eyes seemed to glow. ¡°These houses are like castles in fairy tales,¡± Tang Jiao praised. ¡°Look¡­ There are several sports cars over there!¡± Du Yujia exclaimed, ¡°Oh my God! Is that a helicopter?¡± Lin Xiaoyao exclaimed and asked, ¡°Brother, aren¡¯t you bringing us to buy a Gucci bag? This seems to be someone¡¯s home.¡± Lin Fan did not answer immediately. Instead, he pressed his index finger on the passcode lock. Beep! The door opened. The next moment, they saw that the house was filled with Gucci clothes and bags. Their mouths immediately turned into an ¡®O¡¯ shape. Initially, Lin Fan was living in this villa. However, after the logistics company shipped Gucci¡¯s clothes and bags to this villa, he moved to another villa. As for these clothes and bags, they were no longer cared for. Lin Fan saw that they were all stunned and did not move at all. He could not help but walk in first. From the pile of clothes and bags, he took out the Gucci KP bag that Du Yujia wanted. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Lil Yao, you said something wrong. This isn¡¯t someone else¡¯s home. It¡¯s mine.¡± His voice was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, immediately setting off ripples. ¡°Brother, you mean¡­ Is this villa yours?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked in disbelief. ¡°Yes, it is.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Then¡­ these Gucci clothes and bags¡­¡± Lin Xiaoyao continued to ask. ¡°They¡¯re mine too,¡± Lin Fan said matter-of-factly. ¡°Ah! Heavens! Hahaha!¡± Lin Xiaoyao shouted excitedly. She ra Chapter 194 - 194 The Security Guards Are Really Too Professional; Only Me! 194 The Security Guards Are Really Too Professional; Only Me! Lin Xiaoyao struggled in the sea of clothes and bags. Then, she picked up a few bags and came in front of Lin Fan. She said excitedly, ¡°Brother, do you think I look better carrying this bag or this one? ¡°Mhm, this one seems more elegant! ¡°This is not bad either¡­ ¡°Wow, this bag is so cute!¡± Lin Fan looked at her fiddling with the bags and thinking seriously. He could not help but laugh, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that it¡¯s hard to carry a bag around?¡± In fact, Lin Xiaoyao did not find it difficult to carry a bag around. Even though she knew that Lin Fan was amazing and he said that she could spend his money freely, Lin Xiaoyao had never been someone who liked to spend money extravagantly. Now, it was completely different! That was because her brother already had a lot of clothes and bags. It would not be a problem for her to take a few! Of course, Lin Xiaoyao would not admit to this¡­ She blinked her big eyes and said, ¡°Really? Maybe it¡¯s because I suddenly gained a lot of strength.¡± Lin Fan looked at the way she was spouting nonsense and could not help but smile as he pinched her cheeks, ¡°Eat more. You¡¯re all skin and bones.¡± Initially, Lin Xiaoyao was overjoyed. Upon hearing this, her entire little face turned into a ball of anger. She pouted and shouted, ¡°Brother!¡± Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan smiled even more happily. Then, he handed the KP bag he had just taken out to Du Yujia and said, ¡°Your bag.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Du Yujia quickly took the bag. Then, she took out her phone and said, ¡°I¡¯ll transfer the money to you.¡± Lin Fan could not help but think highly of Du Yujia. ¡°It¡¯s alright. You¡¯re Lil Yao¡¯s friend. It¡¯s rare for you to come to Jiangbei. Take this bag as a gift.¡± Then, he said to Tang Jiao beside him, ¡°You should go and pick a bag too.¡± Du Yujia and Tang Jiao hesitated. Even though Lin Fan had a lot of bags, more than ten years of education had taught them not to take other people¡¯s things casually¡­ Especially if it was such an expensive Gucci bag. Lin Xiaoyao said, ¡°Don¡¯t stand on ceremony. My brother has a lot of them anyway. It¡¯s a waste to let them sit here!¡± When the two of them heard this, they did not stand on ceremony anymore. ¡°By the way, Brother, why did you buy so many Gucci clothes and bags?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked. Tang Jiao and Du Yujia pricked up their ears. Obviously, they were also very curious. ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t buy these bags. They were gifts from the president of Gucci. I¡¯m a shareholder of the company,¡± Lin Fan said. Silence. The entire place suddenly fell silent. Gucci¡¯s shareholder? Did that not mean that Lin Fan was one of the bosses of Gucci? Heavens! They did not know how much Gucci was worth. However, this was still enough to shock them. That was because¡­ that was an internationally renowned company! Lin Fan looked at the three of them and rubbed his nose. ¡°What do you want to do next?¡± Lin Xiaoyao was the first to react. ¡°Flower Stem¡­ Right, we¡¯re going to buy Flower Stem¡¯s essence. ¡°Flower Stem¡¯s essence is very useful. After applying it a few times, your skin will become fair and bright. Acne marks and blackheads will disappear completely!¡± Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s tone became even higher. Obviously, she really desired Flower Stem¡¯s essence. When Lin Fan heard this, his face turned weird. Ever since Lin Fan handed the Beauty Water to Chu Yunyue, he never bothered himself with the matters of Flower Stem again. Not long ago, Chu Yunyue had called him to tell him that Flower Stem¡¯s essence was receiving a good response in the country. However, Lin Fan did not think too much about it. Now, even his sister knew about it? Lin Xiaoyao thought that Lin Fan did not know about Flower Stem. ¡°Brother, you don¡¯t know how popular Flower Stem is in Qing City! Their products are all snatched up as soon as they¡¯re put on the shelves!¡± Then, Lin Xiaoyao sighed and said, ¡°I came to Jiangbei this time to try my luck. I just don¡¯t know if I can buy it.¡± Others could not buy it? In fact, if Lin Fan wanted to, he could just buy the Beauty Water from the system with a thought! One had to know¡­ Flower Stem¡¯s essence was made by blending the Beauty Water with hundreds of times the amount of distilled water! In the future, he would give his younger sister a better essence. Now, he should satisfy her wish to get Flower Stem¡¯s essence. Thinking of this, Lin Fan said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll bring you to buy Flower Stem¡¯s essence.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Xiaoyao said happily. Then, Lin Xiaoyao carried a few bags into the Mercedes-Benz. When they passed by the entrance of the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex, two rows of security guards had already lined up. Like soldiers, they greeted Lin Fan. ¡°The security guards are really dedicated to their work.¡± Tang Jiao could not help but sigh. Lin Xiaoyao said, ¡°I don¡¯t know how many people live here. If they have to line up and salute like this to every owner who goes out, that¡¯ll be too tiring.¡± ¡°That won¡¯t happen,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Why?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked. ¡°Because all the villas here are mine. They only need to salute me. How can they be tired?¡± Lin Fan said. Silence! The entire Mercedes-Benz G-Class suddenly fell silent! All the villas were his¡­ He had said this very calmly. However, this sentence reverberated in the ears of Lin Xiaoyao, Du Jiayu, and Tang Jiao, causing their eardrums to hurt. Gulp! Du Jiayu felt her throat go dry. She could not help but swallow her saliva. She said, ¡°Then¡­the sports cars and helicopter in the villa¡­¡± ¡°They¡¯re all mine,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Ah! Brother, Brother! Go back! Let¡¯s return quickly!¡± Lin Xiaoyao shouted excitedly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°I want to take a good look at our home!¡± Lin Xiaoyao shouted. Lin Fan looked at her excited expression and did not dampen her spirits. He turned the car around and returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex. The security guards standing at the door saw Lin Fan return and stood up straight again, greeting him. Under the watchful eyes of the security guards, Lin Fan led Lin Xiaoyao, Du Jiayu, and Tang Jiao to open the doors of one villa after another. They looked at each villa and saw that the decoration style was very different. Their eyes were dazzled. When they arrived at Lin Fan¡¯s villa, Lin Xiaoyao did not go in. Instead, she rushed to the helicopter and shouted, ¡°Brother, do you have the key? I want to go in and take a look!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not locked.¡± Lin Fan pulled open the door of the helicopter. Whoosh! Instantly, the luxurious interior of the helicopter appeared in front of everyone. Lin Xiaoyao could not wait to get into the helicopter. She kept jumping around in the helicopter. She was as happy as a child. Chapter 195 - 195 Can I Buy Some? 195 Can I Buy Some? Tang Jiao and Du Yujia, who were in the helicopter, were equally surprised. However, they were relatively restrained. They only touched around for a while¡­ Perhaps it was because they had been under the sun for too long, their little faces gradually blushed. After a long time, Lin Xiaoyao, Tang Jiao, and Du Yujia reluctantly got out of the helicopter. Lin Xiaoyao looked at the helicopter, then at the supercar beside it, and then at the tall villas¡­ Like a general inspecting soldiers, she nodded in satisfaction and said, ¡°As expected of my house!¡± Finally, she said, ¡°Brother, let¡¯s go buy Flower Stem¡¯s essence!¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied. Hence, Lin Fan and the rest were once again escorted out by two rows of security guards. Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class through the wide roads and soon arrived at the downtown area. Lin Xiaoyao, Tang Jiao, and Du Yujia looked at the flourishing shops and yearned to go inside. ¡°Stop!¡± Lin Xiaoyao suddenly shouted. ¡°Brother, stop!¡± Hiss! Lin Fan stepped on the brakes and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Flower Stem! It¡¯s Flower Stem¡¯s shop!¡± Lin Xiaoyao pointed at the crowded shop not far away and shouted excitedly. Then, she, Tang Jiao, and Du Yujia ran over excitedly. However, after a while, the three of them walked back listlessly. ¡°Flower Stem¡¯s essence here is also sold out,¡± Lin Xiaoyao sighed. Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°Get in! The place I¡¯m taking you to will definitely have the essence!¡± ¡°Really?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked. ¡°When have I ever lied to you?¡± Lin Fan said. Then, Lin Fan started the Mercedes-Benz G-Class again and continued to move forward. Not long after, the Feiyang Building appeared in everyone¡¯s sight. The most eye-catching spot in the Feiyang Building was the advertisement for Flower Stem. ¡°Flower Stem! This is Flower Stem¡¯s headquarters?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked. ¡°Not bad. You have some knowledge,¡± Lin Fan said. When Lin Xiaoyao, Tang Jiao, and Du Yujia heard this, they all looked excited. Flower Stem¡¯s headquarters! They would definitely have the essence! The group took the elevator and went straight to the 17th floor! Ding! As the elevator door opened, a refreshing fragrance greeted them. Through the glass, they could see the busy figures of the employees in the office. Lin Fan did not say anything and walked in. At this moment, Lin Xiaoyao pointed at the sign in front of the door. ¡®Non-employees are not allowed to enter.¡¯ After the success of Rainbow Perfume and Flower Stem Essence, Flower Stem became extremely popular. Especially after the launch of Flower Stem Essence, countless businessmen came to seek cooperation every day, and countless consumers wanted to come and buy the essence. Too many people entered the company, making it difficult for Flower Stem to carry out its normal work. That was why non-employees were barred from entering. Lin Fan did not seem to hear Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s words or see the sign. He led the way in. The receptionist noticed someone coming in and stopped what she was doing and looked up. Lin Xiaoyao, Du Yujia, and Tang Jiao thought, ¡®It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. We¡¯re going to be chased out.¡¯ However¡­ The next moment, the three of them were stunned. The beautiful receptionist quickly stood up and said in a very sweet voice, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head and said casually, ¡°Hello.¡± Although it was just a polite greeting, it made the beautiful receptionist smile even wider. ¡°Mr. Lin, are you here to look for the president? She should be in the office now.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± said Lin Fan. Then, Lin Fan continued walking in. However, he soon noticed that Lin Xiaoyao and the others were standing still. He could not help but turn around and say, ¡°Lil Yao, what are you guys doing there? Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Alright¡­ Alright.¡± Lin Xiaoyao answered and followed him, though a little stiffly. Just as she was about to ask something, she had already arrived at the door of the president¡¯s office. Thus, she could only swallow her words back. Lin Fan raised his hand and knocked on the door. Soon, a crisp voice sounded from inside. ¡°Please come in.¡± At this moment, Chu Yunyue was working on some documents with her head lowered. She looked tired but satisfied. When she raised her head and saw the person who walked in, her beautiful face immediately revealed a touch of unconcealable joy. ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re here!¡± Soon, she noticed Lin Xiaoyao and the others standing beside Lin Fan. ¡°This is my sister, Lin Xiaoyao, and her classmates, Du Yujia and Tang Jiao,¡± Lin Fan introduced. When Chu Yunyue heard this, the smile on her pretty face widened. ¡°Hello! My name is Chu Yunyue,¡± Chu Yunyue said happily. ¡°President Chu, you¡¯re so beautiful,¡± Lin Xiaoyao could not help but praise. Any woman would like to hear compliments from others, and Chu Yunyue was no exception. ¡°Thank you for your praise, Lil Yao. You¡¯re very cute too. In the future, you¡¯ll definitely be more beautiful than me! Also, it¡¯s too formal to call me President. Just call me Sister Chu.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Lin Xiaoyao nodded vigorously. After chatting for a while, the few of them became quite familiar with each other. Lin Xiaoyao finally revealed the purpose of her trip. ¡°Sister Chu, we want to buy some Flower Stem Essence. Do you still have it in stock?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked with anticipation. When Chu Yunyue heard this, she could not help but look at Lin Fan strangely. It was as if she was saying, ¡®You brought your sister here to buy essence?¡¯ That was because Flower Stem Essence was blended with Lin Fan¡¯s Beauty Water. It was just that they had added some other spices. Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders helplessly. Lin Xiaoyan saw that Chu Yunyue did not say anything and could not help but droop her head. She said pitifully, ¡°Is there no more stock?¡± ¡°We still have a lot of stock!¡± Chu Yunyue smiled. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll bring you over! Today, you can take as much as you want!¡± ¡°Really? That¡¯s great!¡± Lin Xiaoyao jumped up in joy. Du Yujia¡¯s and Tang Jiao¡¯s eyes also lit up with excitement. Then, they went straight to the product department under Chu Yunyue¡¯s lead. There were many boxes here, and each box was filled with Flower Stem Essence. Lin Xiaoyao could not help but swallow her saliva and say, ¡°S-Sister Chu, can we really take anything we want?¡± ¡°Of course, there¡¯s a bag over there,¡± said Chu Yunyue. Then, Lin Xiaoyao looked at Lin Fan. Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°Go get it.¡± ¡°Then we won¡¯t stand on ceremony!¡± Lin Xiaoyao said. Thus, Lin Xiaoyao, Du Yujia, and Tang Jiao filled a large bag with different types of Flower Stem¡¯s essence products. They were almost unable to carry the bags, and they left the product department satisfied. Chapter 196 - 196 Milk Tea; I Was Just Saying! 196 Milk Tea; I Was Just Saying! Everyone chatted for a while. Lin Fan saw that it was getting late, so he brought Lin Xiaoyao, Du Yujia, and Tang Jiao out of Feiyang Building under the watchful eyes of Chu Yunyue and the staff of Flower Stem. Lin Xiaoyao, Du Yujia, and Tang Jiao were sitting in the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, looking at their big bags of Flower Stem¡¯s essence products in their hands. Their faces were still full of smiles. Flower Stem¡¯s essence products were something they had always wanted but could not get. Now that they had gotten so many bottles of it, their wish could be considered to have been fulfilled. If other people knew that they had so many bottles of Flower Stem Essence, they would definitely be so envious that they would drool! The more they thought about it, the happier the three of them were. ¡°By the way, Brother, how do you know Sister Chu?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked. ¡°Moreover, she actually gave us so many bottles of Flower Stem Essence!¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Oh, I met her at a perfume exhibition¡­ As for why she gave you so many bottles of Flower Stem Essence¡­ Because I¡¯m the biggest shareholder of Flower Stem.¡± Silence! In the Mercedes-Benz, even the air suddenly became quiet. Lin Xiaoyao, Du Yujia, and Tang Jiao were all stunned. After a long time, Lin Xiaoyao finally cleared her throat and said, ¡°Brother¡­ You just said¡­ What?¡± ¡°We met at a perfume exhibition,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°The next sentence,¡± Lin Xiaoyao said. ¡°As for why she gave you so many bottles of Flower Stem Essence?¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°The next sentence,¡± Lin Xiaoyao said. ¡°Probably¡­ because I¡¯m the biggest shareholder of Flower Stem,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Ah! Heavens! My brother is the biggest shareholder of Flower Stem! Flower Stem belongs to our family! I¡¯ll have an endless supply of Flower Stem Essence in the future!¡± Lin Xiaoyao shouted excitedly. Then, she hugged Lin Fan¡¯s neck and shouted, ¡°Brother, I love you so much!¡± Lin Fan coughed and reminded, ¡°We¡¯re siblings.¡± Du Yujia and Tang Jiao looked at Lin Fan with bright eyes. At Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s request, everyone ate seafood together. When they walked out of the restaurant, everyone looked satisfied. ¡°This place is still the best!¡± At this moment, Lin Xiaoyao saw the long line for the Cha Yue shop across the road. She sighed and said, ¡°Cha Yue finally opened a shop in Jiangbei this year. Why are there so many people? ¡°From my visit to Jiangbei this time, I got a Gucci bag and Flower Stem Essence. If I can have a cup of milk tea, it would be perfect!¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s drink it,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°There are too many people. It¡¯ll take at least one to two hours to get the milk tea. Our train leaves in an hour,¡± Lin Xiaoyao said. Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll make an order on my phone. It¡¯ll be delivered very soon.¡± ¡°Order it on your phone?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked. ¡°Isn¡¯t Cha Yue against delivery?¡± Lin Fan acted as if he did not hear her. He took out his phone and dialed the number of the chairman of Cha Yue, Fang Liang. Yesterday, after Lin Fan obtained 51% of Cha Yue¡¯s shares, Fang Liang took the initiative to call him. It was convenient to contact him now. ¡­ Sha City, Cha Yue¡¯s headquarters. Fang Liang was holding a high-level meeting with many general managers and directors. The atmosphere was very serious and intense. At this moment, Fang Liang¡¯s phone rang. He frowned and raised his hand to reject the call. However, when he saw the caller ID, his expression turned solemn. He quickly stood up straight and said in an extremely respectful tone, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin!¡± The meeting room suddenly fell silent. All the executives stopped their discussion and looked at Chairman Fang Liang in surprise. Many of them had worked under Fang Liang for more than ten years¡­ However, when had they ever seen Fang Liang so serious when answering a phone call? Why was his tone so respectful? Mr. Lin? A man surnamed Lin? Could it be¡­ Was he the most mysterious major shareholder in Cha Yue? At the thought of this, all the executives held their breaths. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s voice came from the phone. ¡°I¡¯m at Cha Yue Milk Tea in Jiangbei City, but there are a lot of people here. Can you get someone to send me a few cups of milk tea?¡± ¡°Alright, Mr. Lin. I¡¯ll get someone to send them to you now,¡± Fang Liang said. ¡°Mhm, that¡¯s all for now,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Goodbye, Mr. Lin,¡± Fang Liang said. He wanted to drink a few cups of milk tea and called me for it? Such a small matter? However, Fang Liang was not angry at all. On the contrary¡­ his face was full of smiles. ¡­ Lin Xiaoyao saw that Lin Fan had hung up the call and could not help but ask, ¡°Brother, who did you call?¡± ¡°Oh, it¡¯s the chairman of Cha Yue.¡± Lin Fan shook his head. ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Xiaoyao, Du Yujia, and Tang Jiao were all stunned. At this moment, three Cha Yue shop assistants walked over with more than ten different kinds of Cha Yue tea. ¡°Are you Mr. Lin?¡± The shop assistant standing at the front asked softly. ¡°It¡¯s me,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Hello, these are the cups of milk tea that our chairman asked us to send over,¡± the shop assistant said. ¡°Alright, thank you,¡± Lin Fan replied. ¡°Lil Yao, Yu Jia, Tang Jiao, you guys help carry them. I can¡¯t carry them all.¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Ah¡­ Alright,¡± the three of them responded. Lin Xiaoyao, Du Yujia, and Tang Jiao slowly came back to their senses after the shop assistants left. ¡°Brother, how did you meet the chairman of Cha Yue?¡± Lin Xiaoyao stammered. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen him,¡± Lin Fan said. Lin Xiaoyao heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°But I¡¯m the biggest shareholder of Cha Yue,¡± Lin Fan said. Silence! The entire scene fell silent again! The mouths of Lin Xiaoyao, Du Yujia, and Tang Jiao were agape again. He was a shareholder of Gucci, a shareholder of Flower Stem, and now, a shareholder of Cha Yue! In addition, he also owned more than ten large villas! Everything that they had experienced today kept rippling in their little minds. It was really¡­ It was too shocking! Lin Fan did not care much. He looked at his watch and said, ¡°It¡¯s about time. Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll send you to East Station.¡± After the three of them got into the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, he stepped on the accelerator and sped forward. Not long after, the crowded Jiangbei East Station appeared in their sights. At this moment, Lin Xiaoyao and the other two finally recovered from their shock. Lin Fan pinched Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s cheeks and said, ¡°Be careful on the way back.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Xiaoyao replied. ¡°Eat more. You can¡¯t be too skinny or you might die from complications,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Brother!¡± Lin Xiaoyao protested. Lin Fan watched Lin Xiaoyao and the other two enter the station before turning around to leave. In the waiting room. ¡°Xiaoyao, did you say your brother¡¯s single?¡± Du Yujia asked. Tang Jiao¡¯s ears perked up. A handsome rich man who was full of charm! How could Lin Xiaoyao not understand what they were thinking? At this moment, she laughed and said, ¡°Did I? I was just saying it casually, haha! Did you really believe it?¡± ¡®Want to f*ck my brother? ¡®You guys are still lacking!¡¯ logo Chapter 197 - 197 The Imperial Hotel; Meeting an Acquaintance! 197 The Imperial Hotel; Meeting an Acquaintance! The next day. Lin Fan went to the classroom as usual. When the bell rang, he vaguely felt that the atmosphere in the classroom today seemed to be different from usual. ¡°What happened today?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Nothing much?¡± Ma Zhong was puzzled. ¡°I know what Brother Lin Fan is talking about¡­¡± Song Yi said. ¡°It¡¯s Pan Chen. That guy is now the most unpopular person in the class.¡± Zheng Jinbao said, ¡°He deserves it. He sold all of us out in order to please Gao Zhenbo. He¡¯s completely a villain who fawns over the powerful!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Song Yi said. ¡°Also, I heard that Gao Zhenbo¡¯s family seems to have gone bankrupt. Pan Chen is hated by everyone in class now. He can¡¯t even kiss *ss anymore. I¡¯m dying of laughter!¡± ¡°I feel good just talking about this! This is what it¡¯s meant by the heavens will punish the wicked!¡± Zheng Jinbao said happily. Lin Fan could not help but reveal a look of realization. In the past¡­ During class, Pan Chen would sit in the first row and tell the students to stand up. It seemed that he did not hear it today. Then, Lin Fan looked at the first row, but Pan Chen was nowhere to be seen. When Lin Fan turned around, he realized that Pan Chen was sitting alone in a corner. He looked extremely lonely. Regarding this¡­ Lin Fan had no sympathy at all. Since he had chosen to do something, he had to take responsibility for his actions! After all, they were all adults! For the next few days, Lin Fan ate, slept, and attended classes. It was very relaxing and comfortable. The sign-in and red packets were all cash, so they did not bring Lin Fan any joy at all. Even though his total funds had already reached 4.586 billion! ¡­ On the 25th floor of a residential building in Yi Ke City. As it was close to the end of the year, Huang Ling¡¯s family¡¯s shop became busy. Therefore, she went home to help two days ago. At this moment, there were only Lin Fan and Qiu Ziqian in the 178 square meter house. Lin Fan sat in front of the dining table and tasted the delicacies that Qiu Ziqian had personally cooked. His face was filled with enjoyment. After eating their fill, Lin Fan and Qiu Ziqian hugged each other and watched a TV show leisurely. ¡°Honey, do you want some candy?¡± Qiu Ziqian asked with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s imported.¡± Imported? Was that necessary to say? However, Lin Fan still replied, ¡°Okay.¡± Then, Qiu Ziqian put the candy into her mouth and leaned her head in front of Lin Fan. ¡°Oh!¡± A few minutes later, Qiu Ziqian slowly turned her head away. Lin Fan felt the sweetness in his mouth and smiled, ¡°This imported candy is indeed delicious. How about another one?¡± ¡°Oh!¡± The night gradually deepened. The entire residential building started to shake. ¡­ The next day¡­ When Lin Fan woke up, Qiu Ziqian was no longer by his side. He picked up his phone out of habit, and a text message had already appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 3,630,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Lin Fan muttered in his heart, ¡®Let¡¯s see what I can get by signing in today. I hope it¡¯s not ten million again.¡¯ ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the Imperial Hotel.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. One had to know¡­ The Imperial Hotel was a super luxurious five-star hotel that was only completed last year and successfully opened this year. There was no six-star hotel in Hua Nation. Otherwise, the Imperial Hotel would be a six-star hotel! Lin Fan could still clearly remember the scene of countless news reports when the Imperial Hotel first opened. After that, it became a landmark that could be compared to ancient buildings and long bridges. Now, this landmark building¡­ belonged to him? ¡°Looks like my luck today is pretty good!¡± At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. ¡°Is this Mr. Lin?¡± A low voice came from the phone. ¡°It¡¯s me. Who are you?¡± Lin Fan asked curiously. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. I¡¯m the general manager of the Imperial Hotel, Wang Fengyi.¡± The voice on the phone immediately became extremely respectful. ¡°Oh, Manager Wang. Hello,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Mr. Lin, your words are really frustrating. You can just call me Lil Wang,¡± Wang Fengyi hurriedly said. ¡°You¡¯re managing the hotel well. You deserve to be called Manager Wang.¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Lin. Thank you!¡± Wang Fengyi was flattered. After some small talk, Wang Fengyi revealed the reason for his call. It turned out that he wanted to invite Lin Fan to the hotel to guide him. Guidance? In reality, he just wanted to show off in front of Lin Fan. However, Lin Fan was not interested at all. He rejected him directly. Thus, the two of them chatted for a while more before hanging up. At this moment, there were many delicacies on the dining table, such as vegetables and lean meat noodles, fried dumplings, soy milk, and so on. ¡°Yes! It smells so good!¡± Lin Fan praised. ¡°Eat more if it smells good.¡± Qiu Ziqian smiled. Lin Fan nodded his head and started eating. ¡°Darling, are you free later?¡± Qiu Ziqian asked after she had her fill. ¡°I¡¯m free,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Then can you accompany me to go shopping?¡± Qiu Ziqian said expectantly. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Of course.¡± Today, Lin Fan did not drive. Instead, he sat in Qiu Ziqian¡¯s Mini Cooper. Sitting in the Mini Cooper, he smelled the faint fragrance of the car and kept moving forward under the warm sunlight. Not long after, they arrived at the nearest SK Mall. Since it was the weekend, SK Mall was holding an event that attracted many people to shop. It was very lively. ¡°Qiu Ziqian?¡± Just as Lin Fan and Qiu Ziqian were about to walk in, a surprised voice sounded from afar. Qiu Ziqian turned around and looked into the distance. A woman with an oval face and a sparkling gemstone necklace was walking over. Qiu Ziqian was a little uncertain. ¡°Liu Silu?¡± ¡°Ziqian, it really is you! I almost thought I had the wrong person! It¡¯s been two years since we graduated from university, right?¡± Liu Silu said happily. ¡°Yeah,¡± Qiu Ziqian said happily. ¡°By the way, if I remember correctly, you were accepted by Xia Airlines at that time. How is it? Are you still a flight attendant?¡± Liu Silu asked. ¡°I¡¯m not a flight attendant anymore,¡± Qiu Ziqian shook her head. Liu Silu seemed a little disappointed. However, she still said, ¡°That¡¯s fine! What¡¯s so good about being a flight attendant? They¡¯re just waitresses on the plane! ¡°Every time my husband and I sit in first class, those flight attendants want to kneel on the ground to serve us. They¡¯re really too humble!¡± Chapter 198 - 198 Since Youre Busy, Lets Cancel It! 198 Since You¡¯re Busy, Let¡¯s Cancel It! The smile on Qiu Ziqian¡¯s face froze. What did Liu Silu mean? A flight attendant was a waitress? In the first-class cabin, they could not wait to kneel down and serve customers? Qiu Ziqian used to be a flight attendant, so it was clear she was being insulted. Liu Siqi did not seem to notice the change in Qiu Ziqian¡¯s expression and continued to say, ¡°I didn¡¯t choose to apply for Xia Airlines because I knew about the nature of flight attendants.¡± ¡®What do you mean by you didn¡¯t apply to Xia Airlines because you knew the nature of flight attendants? ¡®Who was the one who bribed the interviewer back then and ended up being reported, which is why they weren¡¯t successfully accepted by Xia Airlines?¡¯ Initially, Qiu Ziqian was happy because it was a former classmate she had not seen for two years. Therefore, even if they were not good friends in the past, she still wanted to have a friendly exchange. Now it seemed like¡­ there was no need for that. She treated her as a classmate, but she just wanted to show off. Liu Siqi said apologetically, ¡°Oh, sorry¡­ I definitely didn¡¯t mean to criticize you¡­ After all, you¡¯re not a flight attendant anymore. You shouldn¡¯t mind, right?¡± Qiu Ziqian did not reply. At this moment, Liu Siqi finally noticed Lin Fan who was beside Qiu Ziqian. She asked, ¡°Oh right, this is¡­¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯m Ziqian¡¯s boyfriend, Lin Fan,¡± Lin Fan replied. ¡°Ziqian, congratulations on ending your singlehood!¡± Liu Siqi praised. Lin Fan was just too handsome. She thought of her fierce-looking husband and could not help but feel jealous. Speaking of Lin Fan, a sweet smile appeared on Qiu Ziqian¡¯s face. ¡°Thank you.¡± She felt that the happiest thing in her life was meeting Lin Fan. Liu Siqi looked at Qiu Ziqian¡¯s happy face and felt a wave of displeasure. She asked, ¡°Lin Fan, right? What do you do for a living?¡± ¡°For the time being¡­ I¡¯m a student at Jiangbei University,¡± Lin Fan said. Liu Siqi almost laughed out loud. She was laughing at Qiu Ziqian for finding a student boyfriend. Yes! Lin Fan was handsome! However, what was the use of being handsome? Could being handsome put food on the table? He just had to live a bitter life every day. Liu Siqi held back her laughter and said, ¡°Ziqian, I¡¯m so envious of you. You found a university student as your boyfriend¡­ In that case, he must have a lot of time to spend with you, right? The two of you must be very happy! ¡°Sigh, unlike me! I found a husband who runs a company. Let alone accompany me¡­ he¡¯s busy outside every day. Sometimes, I don¡¯t see him even once in half a month.¡± Liu Siqi looked helpless and continued, ¡°Just like today. He said he wanted to accompany me, but in the end, the chairman of Yinshan Group and the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City both said they wanted to treat my husband to a meal. ¡°You guys should have heard of Yinshan Group and Xiao Wu Wholesale City, right? These are two big companies with a market value of tens of billions! ¡°The chairmen for these two companies can be said to be my husband¡¯s seniors. They keep wanting to treat my husband to a meal, and my husband couldn¡¯t reject them at all¡­ ¡°Besides, he can¡¯t really let them treat him to a meal. After all, they¡¯re both big seniors. ¡°So, my husband wants to book a floor at the Imperial Hotel and treat them to a meal instead¡­¡± Liu Siqi spoke with confidence as if everything was the truth. In reality? How could the chairman of Yinshan Group and the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City take the initiative to treat her husband to a meal? It was her husband who had been spending a lot of effort to treat the boss of Yinshan Group and Xiao Wu Wholesale City to a meal. However, Liu Siqi was not worried about being seen through. She firmly believed that Qiu Ziqian and Lin Fan would never have any dealings with the chairman of Yinshan Group and Xiao Wu Wholesale City. Liu Siqi said, ¡°My husband and I are always away. We¡¯re not familiar with the Imperial Hotel at all. We¡¯re struggling a little to book the Imperial Hotel. ¡°Oh right, Ziqian, Lin Fan, you two have been in Jiangbei, right? Do you know anyone in the Imperial Hotel? Can you help us book a floor?¡± Liu Siqi had only said this casually. A student and a young woman¡­ How could they possibly know someone from the Imperial Hotel? It was just a joke! In fact, her husband had never even thought of booking a floor of the Imperial Hotel. That was the Imperial Hotel! It would probably cost hundreds of thousands to cover one floor! Were they crazy? Her purpose was to show off her husband¡¯s strength. At this moment, Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°The Imperial Hotel? I do know someone. I should be able to help you.¡± Then, Lin Fan picked up his phone and dialed the number of the general manager of the Imperial Hotel, Wang Fengyi. The call went through very quickly. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin,¡± Wang Fengyi said excitedly. Lin Fan said, ¡°Manager Wang, someone wants to book a floor at the Imperial Hotel. Is that possible?¡± ¡°Most of the halls in our hotel have been reserved,¡± said Wang Fengyi. ¡°If they want to book a floor, they can choose our top-floor luxury hall.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Alright, as long as it¡¯s possible! You can contact them directly later. They don¡¯t lack money.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Wang Fengyi replied. For Wang Fengyi to be able to become the general manager of the Imperial Hotel, he could be said to be the smartest among the smartest. How could he not understand what Lin Fan was saying? Then, he directly dialed the number Lin Fan sent him. ¡­ ¡°Lin Fan, who did you send my husband¡¯s number to?¡± Liu Siqi asked curiously. ¡°I sent it to the general manager of the Imperial Hotel. He said that he can book a luxury hall for you,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Is that so?¡± Liu Siqi almost laughed out loud. The general manager of the Imperial Hotel? A luxurious room on the top floor? Lin Fan was a student! She was about to laugh to death! Lin Fan said, ¡°Oh, right, you and your husband¡­ It seems that you guys don¡¯t want to eat with the chairman of Yinshan Group and the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City. In that case, you shouldn¡¯t have to. ¡°You just said that your husband¡¯s name is Chen Kai, right?¡± Then, Lin Fan picked up his phone and dialed the number of the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, Zhang Zhou. As soon as the call connected, Zhang Zhou¡¯s extremely respectful voice sounded from the other end. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± ¡°Zhang Zhou, are you going to have dinner with someone called Chen Kai?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°He did ask me out a few times, but I haven¡¯t agreed yet¡­¡± Zhang Zhou said carefully. Even though Zhang Zhou was a shrewd person, facing Lin Fan¡¯s sudden question, he had to answer carefully. ¡°It¡¯s fine even if you don¡¯t agree. Don¡¯t agree in the future! He wants to have dinner with his wife,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Got it!¡± Zhang Zhou replied respectfully. Then, Lin Fan dialed the number of the chairman of Yinshan Group, Song Zhifeng. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± ¡°Song Zhifeng, are you having dinner with Chen Kai?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Yes, he made a reservation at a restaurant tonight,¡± Song Zhifeng answered truthfully. ¡°Just reject it. Also, don¡¯t eat with him in the future. He wants to accompany his wife,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright,¡± Song Zhifeng quickly responded. Chapter 199 - 199 What Did You Do? Apologize! 199 What Did You Do? Apologize! Liu Siqi looked at Lin Fan¡¯s serious face as he made the calls. He kept telling them not to eat with Chen Kai. She almost laughed out loud. At that moment, she saw Lin Fan hang up the call and could not help but ask, ¡°Lin Fan, who were you on the phone with just now?¡± ¡°Oh, didn¡¯t you say that your husband is very busy?¡± Lin Fan said calmly. ¡°He doesn¡¯t have time to accompany you, right? ¡°I called the chairman of Yinshan Group and the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City and told them not to have dinner with your husband.¡± ¡°Hahaha!¡± Liu Siqi held her stomach and laughed so hard that she almost cried. Lin Fan¡­ First, he called the general manager of the Imperial Hotel and asked him to book a hall there for her husband. Then, he called the chairman of Yinshan Group and the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City and told them not to have dinner with her husband. Who did he think he was? He was just an ordinary student! How could he have the phone numbers of these big shots? Would these big shots listen to him? What a joke! Liu Siqi was laughing as she said ¡°Qiu¡­ Qiu Ziqian¡­ It¡¯s not that I want to laugh. It¡¯s just¡­ It¡¯s just that your boyfriend is too funny¡­ ¡°Oh, I can¡¯t take it anymore¡­ ¡°My stomach hurts from laughing.¡± Qiu Ziqian did not reply. She just looked at Lin Fan with admiration. It was because she knew¡­ this was definitely not a joke! At this moment, Liu Siqi¡¯s phone rang. She was laughing so hard that her hands were trembling. She picked up her phone and looked at the incoming call notification. It was her husband, Chen Kai. ¡°Hello, hubby¡­¡± Liu Siqi laughed. ¡°Liu Siqi, what the hell are you doing?!¡± Chen Kai¡¯s stern voice came from the phone. This roar shocked Liu Siqi so much that her entire body trembled. She stammered, ¡°What¡­ What am I doing?¡± ¡°The general manager of the Imperial Hotel just called and said that you booked an entire floor for me! When did I ask you to book it?¡± Chen Kai shouted. ¡°What? I¡­ I¡­¡± Liu Siqi was completely dumbfounded. ¡°Do you know how much it costs to book an entire floor of the luxurious hall? 1.5 million! Are you crazy?¡± Chen Kai shouted. ¡°Hubby, I¡­ I thought it was a joke¡­¡± Liu Siqi panicked. ¡°Are you kidding me? You thought it was a f*cking joke and I have to spend 1.5 million! Don¡¯t do such a stupid thing again!¡± Chen Kai shouted and hung up the call. Liu Siqi was still in a daze when she heard the busy tone on the phone. He had spent 1.5 million yuan to book an entire floor of the luxurious hotel¡­ This¡­ This¡­ Then, Liu Siqi turned to look at Lin Fan. It was him! It was him! He had really called the general manager of the Imperial Hotel just now! He was not joking! If that was the case¡­ Then did he really call the chairman of Yinshan Group and Xiao Wu Wholesale City just now? If this was true¡­ Then¡­ Liu Siqi¡¯s face turned pale instantly. A bad premonition surged into her heart like a tidal wave. At this moment, Liu Siqi¡¯s phone rang again. The ringing of the bell was like the roar of a malicious spirit, causing her to tremble in fear. Then, Liu Siqi picked up her phone shakily. When she saw that the caller ID was her husband, Chen Kai, her entire body trembled even more. ¡°Liu Siqi! What the hell did you do? ¡°Do you know how much effort I¡¯ve put in to build a relationship with the chairman of the Yinshan Group and the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City? ¡°Do you know how much I paid to invite them to dinner? ¡°It¡¯s all ruined now! Do you know how much I¡¯ve lost?¡± As soon as the call connected, Chen Kai¡¯s roar came from the other end. ¡°Hubby¡­ What happened?¡± Liu Siqi said guiltily. ¡°What happened? Good! Let me tell you! Just now, the chairman of Yinshan Group and the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City called me and told me that because I have to accompany my wife, they won¡¯t be eating with me anymore!¡± Chen Kai shouted, ¡°Liu Siqi, why are you so shameless? ¡°Damn it! Tell me, have I not accompanied you enough? ¡°Let me tell you, I¡¯ve had enough! ¡°If you don¡¯t change the minds of the two chairmen, you can just get lost!¡± Chen Kai hung up the phone after shouting. These words were like thunder on a sunny day, echoing in Liu Siqi¡¯s ears. She was so scared that her fingers were weak. If she was not careful, her phone would fall to the ground. It was the sound of her phone falling that finally brought Liu Siqi back to her senses. She quickly turned to look at Lin Fan and bowed, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. It was my fault just now. It was my fault¡­ Please, let me go¡­ ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± At this moment, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that Lin Fan was definitely not an ordinary student. He was a true big shot! Lin Fan said calmly, ¡°What do you mean by this? Didn¡¯t I help you book the hotel as you said? Then, I told the chairman of Yinshan Group and the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City not to have dinner with your husband. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so polite. After all, you¡¯re Ziqian¡¯s classmate.¡± How could Liu Siqi not understand what Lin Fan meant? She bent her legs and knelt in front of Qiu Ziqian. ¡°Ziqian, it was my fault just now¡­ I¡¯m sorry. I shouldn¡¯t have spoken nonsense¡­ ¡°I beg of you, please forgive me this time on account of us being classmates¡­¡± She lowered her head and clenched her fists. Her face was filled with resentment and anger. There was no doubt that Liu Siqi would definitely take revenge for today if she had the chance in the future! Liu Siqi¡¯s sudden kneeling shocked Qiu Ziqian. Qiu Ziqian did not notice the change in Liu Siqi¡¯s expression and actions. As a result, she did not know what to do. Hence, Qiu Ziqian looked at Lin Fan and asked for his opinion. Liu Siqi¡¯s actions were hidden from Qiu Ziqian, but how could she hide from Lin Fan? Lin Fan held Qiu Ziqian¡¯s slender waist and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s better to teach some people a lesson.¡± Qiu Ziqian immediately understood what Lin Fan was thinking. Even if she forgave some people, they probably would not have any regrets. After entering the SK Mall, Qiu Ziqian looked at Lin Fan with a puzzled gaze. It was as if she was asking, ¡®How do you know so many chairmen? Moreover, you can directly request them.¡¯ Lin Fan easily understood her thoughts. He rubbed his nose and said, ¡°You should know that I own 51% of the shares of Xiao Wu Wholesale City. ¡°Also, I¡¯ve bought 51% of Yinshan Group¡¯s shares. ¡°As for the Imperial Hotel¡­ it belongs to me completely.¡± Silence! The surrounding air seemed to have quietened down. Qiu Ziqian could not help but gape, unable to close her mouth for a long time. Chapter 200 - 200 Move the Car; Reward! 200 Move the Car; Reward! Lin Fan and Qiu Ziqian strolled around SK Mall. They passed by many women¡¯s clothing stores and only glanced at the entrance a few times. They never entered. ¡°Nothing caught your eye?¡± Lin Fan asked curiously. Qiu Ziqian nodded. ¡°There used to be a Chanel shop in SK Mall. Why is it suddenly gone?¡± Chanel? Lin Fan remembered that he had seen this shop when he went to the shopping mall with Lin Xiaoyao and the others. ¡°I think there¡¯s Chanel in KM Mall,¡± Lin Fan said. Then, the two of them went downstairs and headed to KM Mall. When they arrived at SK Mall, Qiu Ziqian spent a lot of effort parking the car. In order to avoid trouble, Lin Fan drove the Mini Cooper this time. On weekends, KM Mall was even more crowded and lively than SK Mall. There were basically no extra parking spaces. Lin Fan drove around the underground parking lot for a while and saw an empty spot beside the elevator. Without any hesitation, he turned the steering wheel and smoothly parked the car. Honk, honk! At this moment, a white Mercedes-Benz drove over and honked at Lin Fan and Qiu Ziqian. The underground parking lot was enclosed, and the sound of car horns was loud. Lin Fan frowned. However, he did not pay too much attention to it. He held Qiu Ziqian¡¯s hand and prepared to leave. Bang! At this moment, the door of the Mercedes-Benz suddenly opened and a woman in high heels got out. ¡°I honked for a long time! Didn¡¯t you hear? Are you deaf?¡± Lin Fan¡¯s face darkened, ¡°What¡¯s with the way you talk?!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the way I talk? Didn¡¯t you see the picture in this parking space? This is my parking space! I honked for a long time, but you ignored me! ¡°Hurry up and move the car away!¡± the woman in high heels shouted. Lin Fan and Qiu Ziqian glanced at the floor of the parking space. Indeed, there was a picture. Ordinary people could see this picture through the camera footage when reversing. However, Lin Fan had Professional Driving Skills. Why would he need to look at the camera when parking? With a simple turn of the steering wheel, he could park perfectly in the parking space. Therefore, he did not notice the picture in the parking space. If this woman had spoken to him nicely, Lin Fan might have given up the parking space. However, at this moment, he did not have such thoughts. Lin Fan said, ¡°There are no parking spaces for rent or sale in KM Mall. Do you think that just by drawing a picture, you can claim a parking space? What a joke! I won¡¯t move my car today. Let¡¯s see what you can do!¡± When the high-heeled woman heard this, she was furious and shouted, ¡°What I¡¯ll do? Good, good! When I call security, I¡¯ll see if you still dare to say this!¡± At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit walked over. The woman in high heels saw this and said happily, ¡°Third Uncle, you came at the right time! This person is occupying my parking space. Hurry up and call security to chase him away.¡± The man in the suit looked in the direction the woman in high heels was pointing at and immediately became serious. The man in a suit was a senior executive at KM Mall. A few days ago, he was standing at the door with the general manager, Yuan Hong, and the others to send Lin Fan off. After that, he asked around and found out that Lin Fan was the real owner of the mall. Therefore, the man in the suit had been looking for an opportunity to please Lin Fan. However, he did not even have the chance to meet him, let alone fawn over him. Today, they finally met! Lin Fan said calmly, ¡°Really? Then I¡¯ll wait for the security guards to chase me away.¡± The man in the suit recognized Lin Fan. With Lin Fan¡¯s scanning ability, he naturally recognized him. However, Lin Fan did not mind at all. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m joking? You¡¯ll cry later!¡± The high-heeled woman was already used to being arrogant. At this moment, when she saw that her third uncle was here, she was even more fearless. Chase Lin Fan away? Make Lin Fan cry? The man in the suit¡¯s face turned pale, and his body trembled. ¡°Third Uncle, what¡¯s wrong? Quickly call the security guards over. This kind of person should be taught well¡­¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± The high-heeled woman spoke again, but before she could finish, the man in the suit interrupted her. At the same time, he raised his hand and slapped her face. A crisp sound echoed in the underground parking lot. This slap stunned the high-heeled woman. Then, the man in the suit ignored her. He quickly bent down and said in a panicked voice, ¡°M-Mr. Lin¡­ I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t discipline her well¡­¡± ¡°Mr. Lin!¡± A surprised voice sounded from afar. General Manager Yuan Hong, who was wearing a white shirt, hurried over. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin!¡± Lin Fan glanced at Yuan Hong and pointed at the camera not far away. ¡°You¡¯ll know what happened when you look at the surveillance footage later. I¡¯ll leave it all to you to handle.¡± Yuan Hong could easily hear the unhappiness in Lin Fan¡¯s tone. His heart tightened, and he quickly said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Lin. I¡¯ll take care of everything.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head casually. Then, he held Qiu Ziqian¡¯s waist and strode into the elevator. After Lin Fan left, Yuan Hong¡¯s face darkened. He looked at the man in the suit with an extremely cold gaze. The man in the suit trembled and stuttered, ¡°G-General Manager, let me explain¡­¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to explain. I¡¯ll look at the surveillance footage myself!¡± Yuan Hong said coldly. ¡­ At this moment, Lin Fan and Qiu Ziqian arrived on the fourth floor. Qiu Ziqian looked at Lin Fan in confusion. It was as if she was saying¡­ ¡®Why were those people so afraid of you?¡¯ Lin Fan seemed to have sensed Qiu Ziqian¡¯s doubts and said, ¡°I¡¯m the owner of KM Mall.¡± Silence. Qiu Ziqian felt that the surroundings were suddenly silent. The first time she saw Lin Fan, Qiu Ziqian knew that Lin Fan was very impressive. Therefore, she tried her best to guess Lin Fan¡¯s family background and chose to follow him. Until now¡­ Qiu Ziqian realized that she had underestimated Lin Fan. He was the owner of the Imperial Hotel, had 5% of LV¡¯s shares, 51% of Yinshan Group¡¯s shares, 51% of Xiao Wu Wholesale City¡¯s shares, and was the owner of KM Mall¡­ At this moment, the two of them had already arrived in front of Chanel¡¯s clothing store. ¡°Ziqian, what clothes do you want?¡± Lin Fan asked. Qiu Ziqian finally came back to her senses. It had to be said that Chanel was indeed an internationally renowned brand. Whether it was the style or the workmanship, everything was very good. Coupled with Qiu Ziqian¡¯s perfect figure, her overall appearance made Lin Fan admire her. Hence, Lin Fan specially bought more than ten different designs. ¡­ On the 25th floor of a residential building in Yi Ke City. Qiu Ziqian looked at the new clothes in her wardrobe, and her pretty face slowly became sweet. ¡°Darling, thank you.¡± Lin Fan chuckled. ¡°How do you want to thank me?¡± ¡°Darling, how do you want me to thank you?¡± Qiu Ziqian pretended not to understand. ¡°The imported candy from last time was pretty good. Let¡¯s have another one,¡± Lin Fan said. Qiu Ziqian answered and tore open a candy, putting it into her mouth. Then, she moved closer to Lin Fan. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ? (¡¥¦ê¡¥?) ¡­ Today was another sleepless night. Chapter 201 - 201 Exam; Giving Merit to a Hero! 201 Exam; Giving Merit to a Hero! The next day. After Lin Fan had his breakfast, he left for Jiangbei University. Usually, at this time, the students on campus would chat and laugh as they walked leisurely. Today¡­ All the students were holding books, paper, and pens in their hands. They were in a hurry on the wide road. This was because today was the day of the students¡¯ final exams. This exam would not determine a promotion or a raise. However, they would decide whether they would have to take the exam again next year. In the classroom, the students were separated and sat down. They looked ahead as if they were facing a great enemy. Lin Fan, on the other hand, was extremely relaxed. In fact, he was even yawning out of boredom. At this moment, the bell rang. The old professor slowly walked in with a bag of test papers and distributed them to the students. This was an advanced math paper. Many students started scratching their ears and cheeks when they saw the questions, not knowing where to start. Advanced math was like this. Either one knew how to answer the questions, or one could not understand the questions at all. Obviously, Lin Fan belonged to the former. In Lin Fan¡¯s eyes, the questions in the paper before him were as simple as 1+1=2. Initially, Lin Fan wanted to finish all the questions. After all, as a student, he should do what a student should do. However, Lin Fan did not sleep the entire night, and the questions were too simple¡­ He had only finished two questions when his eyelids suddenly closed and he fell asleep on the table. He even started snoring. Seeing this¡­ The old professor standing on the podium could not help but praise in his heart, ¡®As expected of a good student who can solve Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, and summarize economic theorem! ¡®Last night, he must have been seriously studying advanced mathematics again. ¡®I can¡¯t let him catch a cold.¡¯ Then, the old professor took off his coat and carefully covered Lin Fan. He reminded the examinees in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t make any noise.¡± ¡­ When the bell rang, Lin Fan finally opened his eyes. At this moment, he realized that the old professor had already taken the test paper away. Song Yi praised, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re really awesome. You solved all the difficult questions in 40 minutes. Then, you went straight to sleep! I¡¯ve only seen this kind of situation on TV and in novels. I didn¡¯t expect to encounter it today!¡± ¡°40 minutes? I think Brother Lin Fan finished it in less than half an hour! One word, awesome!¡± Zheng Jinbao corrected. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, how did you do the second last question? Do you still remember the answer?¡± Ma Zhong asked. What 40 minutes? What half an hour? What second last question? Lin Fan blinked his eyes and said, ¡°I was too sleepy. I only did two questions and fell asleep.¡± Song Yi was speechless. Zheng Jinbao was speechless. Ma Zhong was speechless. The three people were stunned. ¡­ After lunch, Lin Fan leisurely returned to his dorm. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. It was 12 pm. The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 19,999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 99 yuan.] ¡­ Lin Fan received a total of 59,211 yuan from today¡¯s red packets. Lin Fan muttered in his heart, ¡°These useless things again. I hope that signing in will bring some surprises.¡± ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Professional-Level Violin Technique.] [Professional-Level Violin Technique: Brings an extraordinary sense of enjoyment and amazing charm.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan muttered to himself, ¡°Last time, I got Professional Cello Skills. Now, I can play the violin. They¡¯re a pair. Not bad!¡± The next two days were spent doing exams. During the examination, some students sighed and some students regretted it. However, when the exams were over, all the students¡¯ faces were replaced with happy smiles. After all, they could pack their luggage and go home for a relaxing winter vacation. ¡­ At this moment, in the Mathematics Department¡¯s conference room. The professors and leaders of the Mathematics Department were gathered together. Hu Chuan, who was sitting at the head of the table, first swept his gaze across the crowd, then cleared his throat and said, ¡°This year, not only did our Mathematics Department win the Higher Education Cup in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition, but we also successfully held an international mathematics report because our student solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture. Moreover, he also solved the Twin Prime Number Conjecture¡­ In one fell swoop, Jiangbei University will become famous in Hua Nation, and even in the entire world! ¡°This year is a year worth celebrating!¡± Immediately, the entire conference room was filled with a round of applause. Everyone was also very satisfied with this year. This was because what happened this year not only made them feel proud but also allowed them to receive bonuses that far exceeded what they had received before. They understood that all of this was because of Lin Fan. After the applause, someone said in a low voice, ¡°Today is the start of winter break. Lin Fan won¡¯t be in our school next year, right?¡± The conference room suddenly fell silent. That was right! What if Lin Fan did not come to their school next year? One had to know¡­ With Lin Fan¡¯s current status¡­ If he wanted to go to any school in the world, he would definitely be welcomed. Besides, Lin Fan did not get into the mathematics department of Jiangbei University through the college entrance examination. Instead, he was specially recruited midway. Since he could get into Jiangbei University, it was normal for him to get into other schools. Thinking of this, Hu Chuan¡¯s heart tightened. He said, ¡°Lin Fan is a great hero to Jiangbei University, especially our Mathematics Department! Now that the holidays are coming, I think¡­ As teachers, we should go and send off the hero. What do you think?¡± Everyone was smart. How could they not understand Hu Chuan¡¯s thoughts? This was to make Lin Fan feel a sense of belonging and play the emotional card¡­ so that he would continue to attend classes at Jiangbei University next year. ¡°Not bad!¡± ¡°I think I have to send Lin Fan off!¡± ¡°Lin Fan seems to be from Qing City, right? It¡¯s so far away. We have to send him off!¡± ¡­ In Room 104, Lin Fan took out his backpack and prepared to pack his clothes to go home. At this moment, there was the sound of brisk footsteps in the corridor outside. The dean of the Mathematics Department, the head of the grade, the dean of education, and the others walked in one after another. ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re packing your luggage. Come, let us help you.¡± Hu Chuan laughed heartily. Then, the dean, the head of the grade, and the others rushed forward to help Lin Fan fold his clothes and blanket as well as wipe his shoes¡­ Seeing this¡­ Song Yi, Ma Zhong, Zheng Jinbao, and the others all opened their mouths wide, their jaws almost dropping to the ground. The dean, leaders, and professors were here to help a student pack up and fold his clothes and blanket? This¡­ This¡­ This was completely beyond their understanding. Chapter 202 - 202 The Homeroom Teacher Is in the Hospital 202 The Homeroom Teacher Is in the Hospital Even though the leaders were not very agile, they had the advantage in numbers. Soon, all the clothes and blankets were folded neatly, and Lin Fan¡¯s shoes were wiped clean. Lin Fan was stunned as well. ¡°Dean Hu, what are you¡­ What are you doing?¡± Hu Chuan coughed lightly. ¡°We know that you¡¯re going on holiday. As teachers, of course, we came to send you off.¡± The professors, department heads, and the others standing at the side immediately echoed. ¡°Lin Fan, your home is in Qing City, right? It¡¯s not safe to go home alone.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve already prepared a car for you.¡± ¡°Lin Fan, are you bringing these back?¡± Then, the dean, the directors, the professors, and the others all helped to carry Lin Fan¡¯s luggage and led him out. Only Zheng Jinbao, Song Yi, and Ma Zhong were left in the dormitory with blank expressions. The dean and the others knew that Lin Fan was going on vacation, so they came to send him off? Was it because Lin Fan lived in Qing City? They were worried that it would be unsafe for him to go back alone, so they wanted to send Lin Fan home? ¡®We¡¯re also on vacation. Teachers, why didn¡¯t you come to send us off?¡¯ Also, Lin Fan lived in Qing City. Was that considered far? It was only 100 kilometers! They all lived in other provinces that were hundreds and thousands of kilometers away! Were they not alone? Why were the leaders not afraid of something happening to them? Why did the school leaders not send them off? Of course, these words¡­ Zheng Jinbao, Song Yi, and Ma Zhong only said them in their hearts. In the end, they could only sigh. ¡­ At this moment, Lin Fan was surrounded by the dean and the other department directors as he sat in a luxurious vehicle. In the vehicle, the dean and the other department directors treated Lin Fan with utmost care and concern. About an hour and a half later, the luxury bus arrived at Qing City. When they saw Lin Tao and Dai Weixue, they quickly took out the gifts they had prepared and walked up to them with smiles on their faces. ¡°Are you Lin Fan¡¯s parents? I¡¯m Hu Chuan, the dean of the Mathematics Department of Jiangbei University. We were worried that Lin Fan might not be safe coming back alone, so we sent him back. By the way, this is a small gift to wish you a happy new year.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Ma Zhicheng, the head of the grade at the Mathematics Department of Jiangbei University. This is a small gift. I wish you happiness and health.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Qin Jia, the head of mathematics at Jiangbei University. I wish you a happy new year.¡± ¡­ As Lin Tao and Dai Weixue listened to everyone¡¯s words and looked at the gifts in their hands, their faces broke into a smile. ¡°Thank you, thank you¡­Everyone, please come in and sit down for tea.¡± One had to know¡­ Jiangbei University was one of the top universities in Hua Nation. If these people were the leaders of Jiangbei University, they were probably professors! Usually, they would only see one or two professors on TV or on the news. Today, they had actually seen so many real professors at once. Moreover, they all gave them gifts and wished them well. This was simply¡­ It was unbelievable. No wonder they were so excited. ¡°You guys rest first. I¡¯ll go cook now,¡± Dai Weixue said excitedly. Cook? She wanted to make a big table of food for so many people? Would that not be too tiring? Lin Fan said, ¡°Mom, you don¡¯t have to cook. The school leaders are just sending me back. They¡¯ll be leaving soon. ¡°School leaders, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll be punctual next year.¡± Lin Fan was not a fool. On the contrary, he was very smart. How could he not understand why the dean and the department directors personally sent him home, gave him gifts, and paid him an early New Year¡¯s visit? They were just worried that he would not be going to Jiangbei University next year. In fact, even if they did not do this, Lin Fan would still go to Jiangbei University. This was because Lin Fan had felt very free and relaxed during the past few months at Jiangbei University. He had not experienced university life enough. Sure enough, after the dean, the directors, and the others heard this, their faces all revealed joy. ¡°Yes, Lin Fan is right. We¡¯re leaving now.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to cook.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to trouble yourself.¡± Clearly, they could tell that Lin Fan did not want them to stay for dinner. They really did not care if they ate or not. However, as long as Lin Fan promised to go to Jiangbei University next year, it was enough. If they stayed for dinner and made Lin Fan unhappy, would they not regret it? Thinking of this¡­ The dean, directors, and the others waved goodbye and quickly got into the bus before fleeing into the distance. ¡°Lil Fan, why did you let the dean and the others leave?¡± Dai Weixue asked with some blame. ¡°They still have things to do¡­ Isn¡¯t it better for us to eat together as a family? Mom, I haven¡¯t eaten your glutinous rice cake fish for a long time. Did you make it today?¡± Lin Fan asked. Dai Weixue said with a smile. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your dad bought the fish early in the morning. It¡¯ll be ready very soon.¡± As the sound of vegetables being washed came from the kitchen, smoke began to rise. After a while, delicious food was served one after another. The family was having a meal together. It was extremely warm and relaxed. This meal¡­ Lin Fan was very satisfied. He lay on the soft sofa and played with his phone leisurely. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the group chat of his high school classmates, which had been silent for a long time since the last class reunion, had suddenly come to life again today. Huang De: [Our homeroom teacher, Li Yong, has a tumor and is currently hospitalized in the Central Hospital of Qing City.] Shen Liang: [What? The homeroom teacher has a tumor?] Yin Zike: [I hope the homeroom teacher is fine.] Geng Xue: [Our homeroom teacher is such a good person. Why did he suddenly get a tumor?] Li Dasong: [Are there any of us in Qing City? Why don¡¯t we meet up and go visit our homeroom teacher?] Huang De: [I was just about to say that I¡¯m going to visit the homeroom teacher!] Shen Liang: [Count me in, let¡¯s go together! Oh right, when should we meet?] Li Dasong: [It¡¯s better to do it as soon as possible. Let¡¯s do it today.] Wang Haoqi: [Although I¡¯m in Jiangbei, my homeroom teacher is sick! I have to come back to see him. Wait a moment, I¡¯ll go back now!] Geng Xue: [Unfortunately, I¡¯m in another province¡­] Li Dasong: [It doesn¡¯t matter. We can be the representatives.] ¡­ When Lin Fan saw the news, the image of his homeroom teacher, Li Yong, appeared in his mind. When he was in high school, he would buy breakfast by the roadside. Whenever he met Li Yong, he would pay for it. Lin Fan remembered that Li Yong had given him an umbrella when it suddenly rained. ¡­ Although most of them were small matters, they were very heartwarming. The homeroom teacher was sick, so he had to visit him! Lin Fan stood up and walked out. At this moment, he remembered that he was sent back by the dean and the others on a bus. He did not have a car. Therefore, he could only wave his hand and call a taxi before heading straight to the Central Hospital in Qing City. Chapter 203 - 203 Meeting Classmates; Hospital Admissions! 203 Meeting Classmates; Hospital Admissions! Usually¡­ the pedestrians and vehicles on the streets of Qing City were all very sparse. However, since it was the end of the year, everything was bustling with activity. As far as the eye could see, the entire road was filled with a black mass of people and rows of vehicles. Lin Fan took a taxi, and it took him more than half an hour to reach the hospital. Lin Fan had just gotten out of the taxi when a Toyota Corolla drove over. ¡°You¡¯re¡­ Lin Fan?¡± Li Dasong, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses, rolled down the window of the Corolla¡¯s driver¡¯s seat. ¡°Li Dasong!¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Haha! It really is you!¡± Li Dasong said happily. Lin Fan and Li Dasong used to sit in front of each other, so their relationship was pretty good. The two of them were very happy to meet after so many years. Honk, honk! At this moment, the car behind Li Dasong honked. ¡°Lin Fan, why don¡¯t you wait for me in front?¡± Li Dasong asked. ¡°I¡¯ll park the car.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Fan replied. Not long after, Li Dasong walked over. There were two more people beside him, Wang Haoqi and Shen Liang. ¡°What a coincidence. I just arrived at the parking lot and coincidentally bumped into Wang Haoqi and Shen Liang!¡± Li Dasong said happily. Lin Fan nodded his head lightly as a form of greeting. Wang Haoqi¡¯s expression was a little unnatural. That was because he had always been on bad terms with Lin Fan. At the last gathering, when Wang Haoqi found out that Lin Fan only had a few thousand yuan a month, he was very happy and could not stop mocking him. However, he later found out that Lin Fan had a Lamborghini and was wearing a Vacheron Constantin Tour de l¡¯Ile! This made Wang Haoqi very jealous and unhappy. Li Dasong did not know about this at all. He said, ¡°Lin Fan, you came because you saw the messages in the group, right?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan said. Li Dasong put his hand on Lin Fan¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Say, since you¡¯re here to see the homeroom teacher, why didn¡¯t you tell us in the group? Why waste money on a taxi? I could¡¯ve brought you here directly!¡± Take a taxi? Wang Haoqi was slightly stunned. Where was Lin Fan¡¯s Lamborghini? Why did he take a taxi? ¡°Qing City is only so big,¡± Lin Fan said casually. ¡°It¡¯s convenient to take a taxi.¡± ¡°Where¡¯s Qin Yuxuan?¡± Shen Liang asked. ¡°Didn¡¯t she come with you?¡± Lin Fan shook his head. ¡°No.¡± Qin Yuxuan was not with Lin Fan? Wang Haoqi was even more confused. Last time, did Lin Fan not drive Qin Yuxuan home in his Lamborghini? It was such a good opportunity¡­ Lin Fan should be able to win Qin Yuxuan¡¯s heart easily. Lamborghini? Taxi? Qin Yuxuan did not come? Wang Haoqi connected these three things together. He quickly lowered his head to look at Lin Fan¡¯s wrist, but he did not see the Vacheron Constantin¡¯s Tour de l¡¯Ile! Instantly, Wang Haoqi had a guess in his heart¡­ Could it be that Lin Fan had no money? The Lamborghini and the Vacheron Constantin Tour de l¡¯Ile were not actually his? That day, after he sent Qin Yuxuan home, Qin Yuxuan found out about this¡­ Was that why Lin Fan failed to woo her? That was right! That must be the case! When they were in high school, Lin Fan¡¯s family was not rich. As his sister was sick and hospitalized, Lin Fan had no choice but to drop out of school to work and give up on the college entrance examination. In that case, how could he have a sports car and a watch worth tens of millions? The more Wang Haoqi thought about it, the more likely it was, and his mood became better. At this moment, a series of footsteps sounded not far away. The tall and thin Huang De walked over quickly. When he saw everyone, he greeted them, ¡°Hey, long time no see!¡± When he saw Lin Fan, Huang De¡¯s tone became even more arrogant. ¡°Lin Fan! You¡¯re here too!¡± Then, he said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be a hidden rich second-generation heir! I heard that you have a Lamborghini! Hurry up and show me!¡± ¡°What? Lin Fan has a Lamborghini?¡± Li Dasong was surprised. ¡°Isn¡¯t that so? Someone sent me a photo last time! Let¡¯s not say so much. Lin Fan, quickly bring me there!¡± Huang De said excitedly. Wang Haoqi pricked up his ears when he heard this. He also wanted to hear how Lin Fan would reply. Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that won¡¯t do. My car is parked in Jiangbei. Today, my school¡¯s dean, directors, and some others suddenly sent me back on a bus.¡± All of this was the truth, but to Wang Haoqi, it sounded like the funniest joke in the world. If Lin Fan had said that he had sent his car for maintenance, Wang Haoqi might have believed him. However, why did he say that his car was parked in Jiangbei? The school¡¯s dean and directors personally sent him back on a bus? Who did he think he was? What a joke! Wang Haoqi almost laughed out loud. ¡°Your school?¡± Shen Liang asked, puzzled. ¡°Lin Fan, are you still studying?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m studying at Jiangbei University. By the way, the chancellor has the same name as you,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Really?¡± Shen Liang said in surprise. When Lin Fan first heard the name of the chancellor of Jiangbei University, he was also very surprised. ¡°Jiangbei University?¡± Li Dasong exclaimed. ¡°That¡¯s a famous university in Hua Nation! Lin Fan is awesome!¡± They were all old classmates¡­ Even though they had not seen each other for a long time, there was no barrier between them when they chatted. It was very relaxed. ¡°Huang De, how¡¯s the homeroom teacher doing?¡± Li Dasong asked. As soon as he said this, the relaxed atmosphere immediately became heavy. ¡°I¡¯m not too sure either¡­¡± Huang De said. ¡°It was said that it¡¯s quite serious¡­ However, don¡¯t be dejected later. You have to keep the homeroom teacher optimistic and in a good mood so that he can recover faster.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Everyone nodded. Finally, everyone entered the ward. At this moment, a haggard middle-aged woman and a beautiful girl were carefully wiping the haggard middle-aged man lying on the hospital bed with an oxygen tube. He was the homeroom teacher, Li Yong. When the middle-aged woman and the girl saw so many people coming in at once, they could not help but reveal a hint of doubt. ¡°Hello, Madam. We¡¯re Teacher Li¡¯s former students,¡± Huang De said. As soon as he finished speaking, Huang De, Lin Fan, and the others placed the fruits and milk that they had bought to the side. Li Yong, who was lying on the hospital bed, raised his head with difficulty and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s Huang De, Lin Fan, Wang Haoqi, Li Dasong, and Shen Liang!¡± Li Yong had a good memory. Even after so many years, he still called out everyone¡¯s names accurately. In the past, many people thought that the homeroom teacher did not know them. At the very least, they did not know their names. However, he could still call their names out. This was definitely something to be happy about. Chapter 204 - 204 Expert in Flying Knife Style; Its Just a Small Matter! 204 Expert in Flying Knife Style; It¡¯s Just a Small Matter! When the middle-aged woman, Yang Wei, heard that they were her husband¡¯s former students, she could not help but feel a touch of warmth in her heart. With so many students coming to visit her husband, it was not in vain that he had been teaching diligently. Yang Wei was a little annoyed. ¡°You guys should have just come to see your teacher. Why did you bring so many things? You¡¯re too polite.¡± ¡°They¡¯re just some fruits and milk. It¡¯s nothing,¡± Huang De said. When Li Yong saw so many of his former students, a hint of redness gradually surfaced on his pale face. ¡°Do you all work in Qing City?¡± Li Yong asked in a hoarse voice. ¡°I work at Hushui Street Office in Qing City,¡± said Huang De. ¡°I¡¯m in sales,¡± Li Dasong said. ¡°I¡¯m working in IT in Jiangbei,¡± Shen Liang said. Wang Haoqi cleared his throat and said in an extremely proud tone, ¡°I¡¯m the supervisor of a listed company in Jiangbei, Jiaye Group.¡± ¡°I¡¯m studying at Jiangbei University,¡± Lin Fan said. When Li Yong, who was lying on the hospital bed, heard this, his pale face became even redder. He said happily, ¡°Good, good, good! Jiangbei University is great!¡± Back then, Lin Fan performed very well in class, and his grades were not bad. In the end, he chose to drop out of school due to family reasons and did not take the college entrance examination or go to university. This matter could be said to be Li Yong¡¯s greatest regret. Now that he knew that Lin Fan had successfully entered a university and that it was the best university in Jiang province, Jiangbei University, Li Yong was genuinely happy. Wang Haoqi saw how much Li Yong cared about Lin Fan, and his face flashed with displeasure. ¡°Cough, cough, cough!¡± Li Yong¡¯s health was not good to begin with. When he suddenly became so happy, he started coughing violently. His heartbeat and blood pressure also began to change drastically. The monitoring device beside him sounded an urgent alarm. ¡°Doctor, Doctor!¡± Yang Wei shouted anxiously. Soon, a nurse and a bald doctor walked in quickly. They quickly checked Li Yong¡¯s body and injected a few bottles of medicine. Li Yong¡¯s body finally recovered. ¡°Doctor, how¡¯s our teacher?¡± Li Dasong could not help but ask. ¡°The tumor in the patient¡¯s body is in a very dangerous state now. I suggest that the patient undergoes surgery as soon as possible,¡± the bald doctor said. ¡°Otherwise, it¡¯s very easy for a dangerous situation to occur.¡± After the bald doctor and nurse left, everyone in the ward looked at each other. ¡°Ma¡¯am, is it because you have a financial problem that Teacher hasn¡¯t gotten the surgery?¡± asked Li Dasong. ¡°Your homeroom teacher is a full-time employee,¡± Yang Wei said. ¡°He has employee insurance too. In addition, we¡¯ve built some savings over the years. It should be enough for the surgery. ¡°However, this surgery is very dangerous. We have to get a specialist to do it¡­¡± Li Xinyue said, ¡°We¡¯ve asked some doctors, and they said that it¡¯s safest to let experts who are proficient in the ¡®Flying Knife Style¡¯ to perform the surgery.¡± An expert in the Fying Knife Style? Lin Fan¡¯s expression changed slightly. He remembered very clearly that his father¡¯s surgery was done by a leader of Qing City, Director Li Quan, who was an expert in Flying Knife Style. Initially, Lin Fan was still considering whether he should let his homeroom teacher take Medical Water. This was not because Lin Fan was heartbroken by the ten million. It was because many people knew that the homeroom teacher had a tumor in his body. If he drank the Medical Water and recovered immediately, it would be more troublesome to explain. Now, if he could be treated with normal medical methods, then Lin Fan could use Medical Water to help him recuperate after the treatment. This was obviously the best choice. Huang De nodded and said, ¡°We should indeed let a specialist do the surgery. It¡¯s safer¡­¡± Then, he turned to Lin Fan and the others and said, ¡°Do you know any experts?¡± Wang Haoqi, who had been silent all this while, could not help but cough lightly. He said, ¡°You might not know much about the Flying Knife Style, but it¡¯s a surgical technique known for its speed, accuracy, and precision. It can achieve the highest success rate of surgery at the cost of minimal trauma!¡± Wang Haoqi clasped his hands behind his back and spoke with an assurance like a knowledgeable professor. This¡­ He had heard it from his cousin not long ago. He did not expect that he would actually have a place to use it today. His words quickly attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Wang Haoqi looked at everyone¡¯s unblinking gazes, and a smug expression appeared on his face. ¡°Currently, the most famous surgeon in our country who uses this technique is Chief Physician Li Quan from Jingbei Association Hospital!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Li Xinyue hurriedly said. ¡°The other doctors also said that Li Quan is very capable. Could it be that you can invite Chief Physician Li Quan to help my father with the surgery?¡± Chief Physician Li Quan? How was that possible? Wang Haoqi coughed awkwardly and said, ¡°Chief Physician Li Quan is the chief physician of Jingbei Association Hospital. He rarely performs surgeries for people anymore¡­¡± When Li Xinyue heard this, she could not help but look disappointed. ¡°Although I can¡¯t ask Chief Physician Li Quan to help with the surgery, his favorite disciple, Dr. Fan Mingzhi, is my cousin¡¯s classmate. I can invite him over. ¡°You might not know this, but Doctor Fan Mingzhi has already mastered 70% to 80% of Chief Physician Li Quan¡¯s Flying Knife Style!¡± ¡°Really?¡± Yang Wei said excitedly. ¡°That¡¯s great! Wang Haoqi, I¡¯ll have to trouble you, then.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter. You don¡¯t have to be so polite, Miss.¡± Wang Haoqi waved his hand. After saying that, he did not forget to look at Lin Fan with a smug gaze. It was as if he was saying, ¡®Lin Fan, aren¡¯t you very strong? Why don¡¯t you find an expert, then?¡¯ Then, Wang Haoqi dialed Fan Mingzhi¡¯s number under everyone¡¯s gaze. Not long ago, after his cousin bragged about Fan Mingzhi, Wang Haoqi saved his phone number. After a while, the call went through. ¡°Hello, who is it?¡± A dull voice came from the other end of the phone. ¡°Are you Dr. Fan Mingzhi?¡± Wang Haoqi asked. ¡°I¡¯m Zhao Feidi¡¯s cousin, Wang Haoqi.¡± ¡°Zhao Feidi¡¯s cousin? Is there anything you need?¡± Fan Mingzhi asked in confusion. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s like this. My high school homeroom teacher has a tumor. Can I trouble you to come to the Central Hospital in Qing City to help with the operation?¡± Wang Haoqi said straightforwardly. ¡°I see,¡± Fan Mingzhi said. ¡°But I don¡¯t have time right now. Let¡¯s not talk about it now. I still have things to do here.¡± Then, Wang Haoqi heard an indignant voice coming from the phone. ¡°Is it true that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can call me to ask me to perform surgery now?¡± Immediately after, the call ended. As everyone was waiting for Wang Haoqi to talk to Dr. Fan Mingzhi, the entire ward was very quiet. This allowed everyone to hear everything Fan Mingzhi said. Silence! Sudden silence was the most terrifying! Wang Haoqi held the phone and froze. Chapter 205 - 205 Lin Fan Makes a Move; The Harm of Comparisons 205 Lin Fan Makes a Move; The Harm of Comparisons Wang Haoqi originally wanted to perform well in front of everyone. However¡­ ¡®Is it true that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can call me to ask me to perform surgery now?¡± Fan Mingzhi¡¯s words echoed in his mind. Embarrassing! It was too embarrassing! When Wang Haoqi raised his head, he saw Lin Fan shaking his head slowly. It was as if he was saying, ¡®Wang Haoqi, you¡¯re a failure!¡¯ Others could laugh! However, Lin Fan could not! Wang Haoqi was extremely furious, and his eyes rolled. After a while, he sighed and said, ¡°I just remembered that my cousin and Dr. Fan Mingzhi had a conflict a while ago. It seems¡­ we can¡¯t invite him over for the time being. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Madam. I can¡¯t help you for the time being. ¡± It had to be said that Wang Haoqi still had some adaptability. In such a short period of time, he had made up a good reason. After he said that, the atmosphere in the ward improved a lot. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. You¡¯ve already done your best,¡± Yang Wei said. Wang Haoqi continued, ¡°Lin Fan, I saw you shaking your head just now. Could it be¡­ that you know an expert? ¡°That¡¯s right! That must be the case, right? You¡¯re a second-generation rich kid who¡¯s been hidden among us for so many years. ¡°Since you know an expert, you must ask him to help the homeroom teacher!¡± ¡°Rich second-generation heir?¡± Yang Wei was puzzled. Yang Wei had never seen Lin Fan before. However, she had heard Lin Fan¡¯s name from Li Yong many times. Yang Wei knew that Lin Fan had dropped out of school to work because of family reasons. For this¡­ Li Yong often lamented at home. A rich second generation? ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Wang Haoqi said. ¡°Madam, you might not know, but Lin Fan had a sports car and a luxury watch at the last gathering! However, the deans and directors of Jiangbei University sent him back to Qing City personally, so he didn¡¯t bring his sports car here.¡± Obviously, Wang Haoqi had already confirmed that Lin Fan was not some rich kid. The sports car and watch from last time did not belong to him at all. Therefore, he was mocking him now. He had just lost so much face, so he would make Lin Fan lose even more face! ¡°Lin Fan, hurry up and call the specialist you know,¡± Wang Haoqi said. ¡°The homeroom teacher¡¯s condition can¡¯t be delayed.¡± He could say that the supercar was in Jiangbei, but what about finding an expert? How could Lin Fan find an excuse? Wang Haoqi looked at Lin Fan quietly as if he was watching a good show. Although Yang Wei wanted her husband to get professional treatment as soon as possible and she was worried sick, she felt that the atmosphere was not quite right. Hence, she said, ¡°It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t know anyone¡­¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Madam, you¡¯ve misunderstood. I know an expert who knows how to use Flying Knife Style. Furthermore, it¡¯s Chief Physician Li Quan whom you mentioned just now. I should be able to invite him over with a call.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Yang Wei said in surprise. When Wang Haoqi heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he almost laughed out loud. ¡®Lin Fan¡­ Do you have to brag like this?¡¯ Li Quan was the head of Jingbei Association Hospital! Even if Lin Fan was a rich second-generation heir, he could not just call him over! One had to know¡­ A doctor at Li Quan¡¯s level could no longer be tempted by money! Wang Haoqi looked at Lin Fan with an even more expectant gaze. He wanted to see what kind of funny scene Lin Fan would make. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, Lin Fan, hurry up and make the call.¡± Wang Haoqi urged. Obviously, he wanted Lin Fan to make a call on the spot to prevent him from doing anything. Lin Fan glanced at Wang Haoqi indifferently. How could he not understand what he was thinking? However, he did not pay too much attention to it. He nodded and dialed Li Quan¡¯s number. When Li Quan operated on Lin Fan¡¯s father, Lin Tao, the two of them exchanged contact details. Thus, Lin Fan could easily contact him. After a while, the call went through. ¡°This is Chief Physician Li Quan, right?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°It¡¯s me! Mr. Lin, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Li Quan¡¯s light voice came from the phone. After hearing Li Quan¡¯s reply, Yang Wei, Li Xinyue, Li Dasong, Huang De, Shen Liang, and the others all revealed looks of joy. Lin Fan really knew Li Quan! On the contrary, the smile on Wang Haoqi¡¯s face froze. Lin Fan¡­ How did he really know Li Quan? ¡°Well, my high school homeroom teacher has a tumor. Can I trouble you to come to the Central Hospital in Qing City to help with the operation?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Of course, no problem!¡± Li Quan said. ¡°However, I¡¯m in Qing province now. I might only be able to come over tomorrow to help with the check-up and arrange for the surgery.¡± He agreed! Chief Physician Li Quan agreed! The smiles on Yang Wei, Li Xinyue, Li Dasong, and the others widened. Wang Haoqi¡¯s expression turned even uglier. It was exactly the same! Lin Fan actually said the exact same thing as him! He was directly rejected by Chief Physician Li Quan¡¯s student, Fan Mingzhi. He even said that any Tom, Dick, and Harry could call to have him perform an operation¡­ When Lin Fan said the same line to Chief Physician Li Quan, he agreed immediately! This was the harm of comparisons! Lin Fan said, ¡°Alright, see you tomorrow.¡± After hanging up the call¡­ ¡°Thank you, Lin Fan,¡± Yang Wei said happily. ¡°Thank you!¡± Li Xinyue hugged Lin Fan and said excitedly, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re amazing!¡± Although Li Xinyue was only 17 or 18 years old, girls developed quickly. At this moment, her figure had already begun to take shape. When she suddenly hugged him¡­ Lin Fan felt his lower abdomen heat up. He coughed dryly and said, ¡°This is just a small matter.¡± ¡°Lin Fan!¡± Li Dasong praised, ¡°You even managed to invite Chief Physician Li Quan over. Lin Fan, you¡¯re awesome! I actually didn¡¯t notice it at all in the past!¡± ¡°That¡¯s amazing!¡± Huang De gave him a thumbs up. ¡°Impressive!¡± Shen Liang said. Everyone surrounded Lin Fan and kept praising him. These words were like the sound of glass shattering in Wang Haoqi¡¯s ears. It was extremely ear-piercing. He could not help but ask, ¡°Lin Fan, did you just call Chief Physician Li Quan of Jingbei Association Hospital?¡± Obviously, he was doubting the identity of the person Lin Fan had just called. After hearing Wang Haoqi¡¯s words, everyone could not help but calm down. That was right. Was it really Chief Physician Li Quan of Jingbei Association Hospital? Li Quan was a famous doctor. Yet Lin Fan asked him to come over with just a phone call? Was it that simple? Also, the person on the phone just now seemed to have said that he was in Qing province? It was not the capital! At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside. Several doctors walked over. The person in the lead was Director Huang of the Central Hospital in Qing City. When Director Huang saw Lin Fan, he could not help but quicken his pace. He said excitedly, ¡°Mr. Lin, why are you here?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand and was about to shake Lin Fan¡¯s hand. Chapter 206 - 206 Qing Kun Group; Li Quan Arrives! 206 Qing Kun Group; Li Quan Arrives! Director Huang liked to watch ancient dramas. He found that the emperors were usually in court and had no way of knowing the lives of the people. Only if the emperor went out in civilian clothes could he slowly discover and solve problems. Hence¡­ Director Huang did just that. Every time he had free time after dealing with the work at hand, he would wander around the wards to see what was not done well in the hospital and what needed to be changed. Today, he did not expect to meet Lin Fan in a ward. Director Huang had a deep impression of Lin Fan. He still remembered how polite Zhao Jiaqi was to Lin Fan. He even visited Lin Fan¡¯s father several times. Director Huang was a sensible person. He knew that Lin Fan definitely had an extraordinary status. Lin Fan had a principle. If others respected him, he would respect them. When he saw Director Huang take the initiative to reach out his hand, he also extended his hand and said, ¡°Director Huang, long time no see.¡± Director Huang? Director? As soon as he said that, everyone around him revealed a look of surprise. ¡°This is my high school homeroom teacher,¡± Lin Fan introduced. ¡°He¡¯s waiting for treatment at your hospital.¡± ¡°What? He¡¯s your homeroom teacher?¡± Director Huang said to the doctor beside her, ¡°Arrange for this patient to be sent to the VIP ward later. Also, call his attending doctor over.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± the doctor beside him quickly responded. After a while, two doctors rushed over. One of them was the bald doctor from not long ago, and the other was wearing silver-rimmed glasses. ¡°Hello, Director,¡± the two of them said in unison. ¡°Tell me about this patient¡¯s condition in detail,¡± Director Huang said. ¡°There¡¯s a tumor in the patient¡¯s liver, which is closer to the liver and arteries¡­ We suggest that the surgery be carried out as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.¡± ¡°This kind of surgery is difficult. It¡¯s best to hire an expert who uses Flying Knife Style as the chief surgeon. ¡°But our hospital doesn¡¯t have any experts in Flying Knife Style¡­¡± The bald doctor held the CT photos and related medical records, explaining in a very gentle tone. Compared to his previous attitude, it was like heaven and earth. ¡°I¡¯ve already contacted Chief Physician Li Quan regarding the surgery. He can come over tomorrow,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Chief Physician Li Quan is a master of Flying Knife Style!¡± Director Huang said. ¡°Since you¡¯ve invited him over, there shouldn¡¯t be a problem at all! ¡°Tomorrow, we¡¯ll reserve the best surgical room!¡± Lin Fan chatted with Director Huang for a while more. Then, Director Huang personally arranged for Li Yong to be in a VIP ward with the doctors and nurses before leaving. At this moment, Yang Wei, Li Xinyue, Huang De, Li Dasong, Shen Liang, and the rest all looked at Lin Fan. How could they not understand that Lin Fan had definitely asked for Chief Physician Li Quan from the Jingbei Association Hospital? The hospital director and the entire hospital¡¯s careful treatment were the best proof! Yang Wei said sincerely again, ¡°Lin Fan¡­ Thank you, thank you!¡± ¡°With this, the homeroom teacher¡¯s body will definitely recover very quickly!¡± Li Dasong said. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Shen Liang said. Huang De said, ¡°Lin Fan, you really hid it too well!¡± ¡°Thank you, Brother Lin Fan,¡± Li Xinyue said softly. Li Yong, who was lying on the hospital bed, saw Lin Fan¡¯s current ability. His weathered face was filled with gratification and joy. He said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Lin Fan, sorry to trouble you.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°This is no trouble, Teacher.¡± Everyone kept praising Lin Fan. The atmosphere in the ward was extremely warm and relaxed. Wang Haoqi, who was standing at the side, had a gloomy expression. Originally, he called someone who knew Flying Knife Style to show off his ability, but in the end, he was called a nobody. Originally, he wanted Lin Fan to become a bigger joke, but in the end, Lin Fan became the object of everyone¡¯s praise. In comparison, Wang Haoqi had become the biggest joke! Lin Fan! It was all because of Lin Fan! Wang Haoqi was extremely furious, but he was helpless. ¡­ That night, Lin Fan slept soundly in the house that he had not stayed in for a long time. The next day¡­ When Lin Fan woke up, as usual, there was already a text message on his phone. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 3,640,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Lin Fan lay on the bed and scrolled through his phone for a while. He muttered, ¡°Let¡¯s see what we can get from signing in today. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 51% of Qing Kun Group¡¯s shares.] Qing Kun Group was a large company in Qing City. Qing Kun Palace, Qing Kun Central, Qing Kun City, Qing Kun Hotel, Qing Kun Supermarket, and others were all properties of Qing Kun Group. It was a company that solved the employment problem of thousands of people in Qing City. In recognition of Qing Kun Group¡¯s contribution, Qing City named one of the main roads in the city Qing Kun Avenue. As a citizen of Qing City, Lin Fan had heard of Qing Kun Group. 51% of the shares? In other words, he was now the boss of Qing Kun Group? Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up into a smile. After getting up and washing up, he bought some doughnuts and soy milk nearby. Then, Lin Fan hailed a taxi and went to the Central Hospital in Qing City. At this moment, Li Dasong, Huang De, Shen Liang, and the others had already arrived at the hospital. Wang Haoqi said that he had something important to do today, so he could not come. Regarding this¡­ No one paid too much attention to it. At this moment, a series of brisk footsteps sounded outside the spacious corridor. Then, a large group of doctors and nurses walked over. The people in the lead were Director Huang, whom they had met yesterday, and Chief Physician Li Quan, who often appeared in news reports! ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry to have kept you waiting,¡± Li Quan said apologetically. Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just arrived. Besides, I¡¯m the one who should be apologizing for making you rush over from out of town.¡± ¡°Mr. Lin, you¡¯re too polite¡­ It¡¯s my duty to treat and save people,¡± Li Quan said. Director Huang listened to their conversation and could not help but reveal a hint of surprise. One had to know¡­ Chief Physician Li Quan was a very well-known doctor in the industry. The reason why the leaders of Qing City were able to invite him over previously was that Li Quan was in Jiangbei City, which was nearby. If Li Quan had been in the capital, it would not have been so easy. When Li Quan arrived at the hospital, his attitude towards the leaders of Qing City was very calm. In the end, not only did Lin Fan invite Li Quan over when he was in another province, but Li Quan was so polite to Lin Fan! It was hard to imagine. Instantly, Director Huang looked at Lin Fan with even more respect. Lin Fan¡¯s identity was indeed impressive! Chapter 207 - 207 The Surgery Is Safe; Meeting Han Tian! 207 The Surgery Is Safe; Meeting Han Tian! In fact¡­ Just as Director Huang had expected, if it had been the leaders of Qing City who invited Li Quan and he was in another province, they would not have been able to persuade him. The reason why Lin Fan was able to invite him over and receive such courteous treatment from Li Quan¡­ It was all because Li Quan had seen Lin Fan save the life of the Zhou family¡¯s old master. The Zhou family was one of the top families in Hua Nation. Lin Fan had essentially saved the entire Zhou Family. Li Quan, who was in the capital, knew very well what this meant. After some small talk, Lin Fan finally got down to business. ¡°Director Li, how is my homeroom teacher? Is the surgery very dangerous?¡± As soon as he said that, the atmosphere in the ward suddenly froze. Yang Wei, Li Xinyue, Huang De, and the others all looked at Li Quan nervously. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be nervous,¡± Li Quan said in a relaxed manner. ¡°I¡¯ve already seen your homeroom teacher¡¯s medical record. His tumor is still a certain distance away from the liver and arteries. There¡¯s no danger in removing it.¡± It had to be said that Li Quan¡¯s skills were indeed far superior to that of ordinary doctors. The surgery that the Central Hospital in Qing City did not dare to do casually was not taken to be a dangerous surgery by Li Quan. ¡°Let me put it this way. I¡¯ve performed dozens of surgeries that were more dangerous than this, and there were no accidents,¡± Li Quan said. Instantly, the atmosphere in the ward became relaxed. Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief. If the risk of the surgery was very high, Lin Fan would have to consider whether his homeroom teacher should undergo the surgery. Then, Li Quan said to Li Yong, who was lying on the hospital bed, ¡°You didn¡¯t eat anything this morning, did you?¡± ¡°No, I didn¡¯t,¡± Li Yong replied. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll do a simple examination later, and then we can perform the surgery¡­ After that, you¡¯ll be able to recover very quickly,¡± Li Quan said. ¡°Alright, alright,¡± Li Yong said. Under Director Huang¡¯s personal command, Li Yong underwent a check-up. In just ten minutes, all the latest data about Li Yong¡¯s body appeared in Li Quan¡¯s hands. Li Quan looked through the information carefully and said, ¡°Your body is in good condition. Director Huang, are there any empty operating rooms?¡± ¡°Yes! I¡¯ve already reserved the best operating room!¡± Director Huang said. Then, accompanied by several attending physicians and excellent nurses, Li Quan brought Li Yong into the operating room. Time passed by. Even though the famous Chief Physician Li Quan was the one performing the surgery this time and he also said that there was no danger, Yang Wei was still a little nervous. She said, ¡°Lin Fan, your homeroom teacher¡­ He should be fine, right?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he¡¯ll be fine.¡± His tone was extremely certain. It was because even if the surgery was not successful, as long as Li Yong was still breathing, Lin Fan would have a way to save him. Beside him, Li Xinyue, who had been nervous the entire time, felt a lot more relaxed after hearing Lin Fan¡¯s reply. ¡°I believe in Brother Lin Fan.¡± Creak! At this moment, the door to the operating room opened. A bone-piercing cold air assaulted their faces. Li Quan and a few doctors walked out together. ¡°Chief Physician Li, how¡¯s my husband?¡± Yang Wei hurriedly asked. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the surgery was very successful,¡± Li Quan said in a relaxed manner. ¡°However, because the surgery has just ended, he¡¯s still under anesthesia. We have to wait for him to rest first¡­¡± ¡°Alright, alright, alright¡­ Okay, thank you, Director Li. Thank you!¡± Yang Wei said excitedly, her eyes turning red. When Li Yong fell ill, Yang Wei felt as if the entire sky had collapsed. Now, everything was fine¡­ He was finally fine! ¡°You¡¯re welcome. This is what I should do¡­¡± Li Quan said. Then, Yang Wei said to Lin Fan, ¡°Lin Fan, thank you!¡± She understood that the reason why Li Yong had such a good result was all because of Lin Fan. Lin Fan said, ¡°Madam, you don¡¯t have to be so polite.¡± At noon¡­ Under Lin Fan¡¯s arrangements, Director Huang, Li Quan, Huang De, Li Dasong, Shen Liang, and the rest had a sumptuous lunch together. During the meal, Lin Fan received 40,121 yuan from the red packets. In the afternoon, Li Yong woke up and stabilized. Everyone was completely relieved. At this moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve completed the hidden mission¡ªrescue the commander. Reward: Five silver packets.] When Lin Fan saw this, his face could not help but reveal a look of joy. He completed another hidden mission? Was this karma? Now, the homeroom teacher had survived the danger and he received another five silver packets. After leaving the hospital, Lin Fan walked on the road. His footsteps felt much lighter. ¡°M-Mr. Lin?¡± Not far away, a crisp voice suddenly sounded. Lin Fan looked in the direction of the voice. It was Lianjia¡¯s manager, Han Tian. In the past, whenever Lin Fan saw Han Tian, she was always wearing a business suit and a shirt. Today, Han Tian was wearing a long white down jacket and a white V-neck knitted top. Her skin was excellent to begin with, and it complemented her white clothes. Her voluptuous figure was extremely eye-catching. In the past, Han Tian looked like a capable career woman. Right now, she gave off the feeling that she was a beautiful flower that was in full bloom, waiting to be picked at any time. Even Lin Fan could not help but be unable to take her eyes off her. Han Tian saw that Lin Fan was looking at her, and her face started to blush. She lowered her head shyly. After a while, Han Tian said softly, ¡°What a coincidence, Mr. Lin. So you¡¯re also in Qing City.¡± When Lin Fan heard that, he finally came back to his senses and said, ¡°Yes, what a coincidence¡­ ¡°No, my home is in Qing City¡­ It¡¯s the holidays, so , of course, I¡¯m in Qing City. Why did you come to Qing City? Don¡¯t tell me your hometown is also in Qing City?¡± Lin Fan asked. Lin Fan¡¯s home was in Qing City. Han Tian silently noted this down and said, ¡°My hometown is in Qing province¡­ The son of a business partner in Jiangbei is getting married in Qing City tomorrow. I¡¯m here as a representative to attend the wedding banquet.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head and said, ¡°Manager Han, it¡¯s rare for you to come to Qing City. Let me treat you to a meal.¡± Have a meal with Lin Fan? Han Tian¡¯s heart raced. Without any hesitation, she said, ¡°Alright!¡± Jiangbei was a provincial capital city with many high-end restaurants. Qing City was an ordinary prefecture-level city, and the people¡¯s consumption power could not support those high-end restaurants at all. Lin Fan brought Han Tian to a nearby tavern called Chu Wei Xuan. This tavern was not big. However, the dishes were all local specialties, and there was also the self-brewed sake¡­ This made the meal feel different. When they walked out of Chu Wei Xuan, the sky had already turned completely dark. After drinking some wine and eating some side dishes, Han Tian was now walking along the winding path with Lin Fan. A sense of happiness that she had never felt before rose in Han Tian¡¯s heart. As a real estate manager, Han Tian had a good tolerance for alcohol. She had only drunk a small glass of sake in Chu Wei Xuan. Even so, she still felt that she was drunk. She was completely immersed in happiness and could not extricate herself. When they turned a corner, a sharp honk suddenly sounded in front of them. A car suddenly sped over. The dazzling light shone on Han Tian¡¯s fair face, making it crystal clear like a precious jade. It was dangerous! It was very dangerous! Lin Fan raised his eyebrows and pulled Han Tian into his embrace. He then quickly dodged to the side of the road and avoided the car. The two of them hugged each other by the roadside. Their eyes met. Han Tian¡¯s heart was racing! At this moment, she felt as if she was looking at her own hero! Her gaze was so fiery. Lin Fan was very familiar with this gaze. He could not help but use his Eyes of Truth to observe. [Appearance: 94] [Favorability: 95] At this moment, Han Tian¡¯s head seemed to have been attracted by something. She kept getting closer and closer to Lin Fan¡­ o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ Chapter 208 - 208 Lucky; Introduction! 208 Lucky; Introduction! The next morning. In the presidential suite on the top floor of Wang Hao Hotel in Qing City. When a gentle breeze blew outside, causing the branches to sway gently, Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the bright red on the white bedsheet and Han Tian, who was as docile as a kitten. ¡°Mhm¡­¡± Han Tian seemed to have sensed Lin Fan¡¯s gaze and let out a soft hum. After that, her long eyelashes fluttered and she opened her eyes. They locked eyes. Han Tian looked at Lin Fan¡¯s handsome face. Lin Fan looked at Han Tian¡¯s perfect figure. The two of them were like magnets, hugging each other tightly once again. Outside the window¡­ the two sparrows pecked each other¡¯s heads, relaxed and happy. ¡­ About an hour later, the two of them reluctantly climbed out of bed. Han Tian had to attend her client¡¯s wedding today, so she could not be late. ¡°I don¡¯t have anything to do anyway. I¡¯ll accompany you later,¡± Lin Fan said. Han Tian had a good impression of Lin Fan since a long time ago. When Lin Fan gave her a bag a while ago, Han Tian fell in love with him completely. Now, the two of them had finally confirmed their relationship. Han Tian wished she could stick to Lin Fan all the time. When she heard that Lin Fan was going to attend the wedding with her, she was naturally very happy. She nodded her head and said, ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Then, the two of them held hands and went downstairs for breakfast. He got into Han Tian¡¯s BMW 530LI and sped toward Qing Kun Hotel. Qing Kun Hotel was one of the most luxurious hotels in Qing City. Today, a long red carpet was laid out at the entrance of the hotel. Bright flowers were placed on it, making it look even more magnificent and luxurious. Men and women in gorgeous clothes walked on the carpet with smiles on their faces. At this moment, in front of the most luxurious hall of Qing Kun Hotel, there was a huge wedding poster. The people on the poster were the main characters of today, Wu Kai and Zhao Yutong. After the guests entered the hall, they either sat down according to the arrangements or chatted with acquaintances¡­ It was very lively. Just as Han Tian and Lin Fan walked into the hall, a crisp voice sounded from not far away. ¡°Han Tian!¡± The two of them looked in the direction of the voice. A woman with good facial features and a hot figure walked over quickly. ¡°Liping!¡± Han Tian said. ¡°Han Tian, if you had come a moment later, I would¡¯ve died from boredom,¡± Zhao Liping grabbed Han Tian¡¯s arm and said happily. When she saw Lin Fan beside her, her eyes lit up as she said in surprise, ¡°Who¡¯s this handsome guy?¡± ¡°I¡¯m Han Tian¡¯s boyfriend, Lin Fan,¡± Lin Fan said. When Han Tian heard this, her heart felt even sweeter. She had only slept with Lin Fan yesterday. Han Tian knew that Lin Fan already had a girlfriend, and more than one at that. Therefore, Han Tian did not know if she was Lin Fan¡¯s girlfriend or not. Now, she had finally received Lin Fan¡¯s acknowledgment. ¡°Han Tian, you have good taste!¡± Zhao Liping said with jealousy. Lin Fan¡¯s appearance and temperament were simply too good. ¡°I think so too,¡± said Han Tian happily. At this moment, footsteps could be heard from afar. Two men in suits walked over. ¡°Aren¡¯t these the two golden flowers of the real estate industry?¡± the shorter man said. ¡°Chen Dongxiang, Tu Dapeng!¡± Zhao Liping said. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the two of you to represent Lianjia. It¡¯s great that we¡¯re all familiar faces!¡± Zhao Liping said happily. ¡°This is indeed good news!¡± Chen Dongxiang laughed. He quickly noticed Lin Fan and asked curiously, ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°Let me introduce you. He¡¯s Han Tian¡¯s boyfriend, Lin Fan. How is he? Handsome, right?¡± Zhao Liping said. ¡°He¡¯s really handsome!¡± exclaimed Chen Dongxiang. ¡°It¡¯s just that the other handsome men in the real estate industry are probably going to be sad.¡± At the side, Tu Dapeng, who had been silent all this while, looked at Lin Fan with a hint of jealousy. One had to know¡­ Han Tian was a famous beauty in the real estate industry and the goddess of Tu Dapeng¡¯s dreams. Now, she had become someone else¡¯s girlfriend! ¡°Lin Fan? You look very young. Are you from Jiangbei? Or are you working in Jiangbei?¡± Tu Dapeng asked indifferently. ¡°I¡¯m from Qing City,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°I don¡¯t work in Jiangbei. I¡¯m studying at Jiangbei University.¡± A look of disdain flashed across Tu Dapeng¡¯s face. He also had a college degree and knew very well that many college graduates only earned a few thousand yuan a month. How could a college student be Han Tian¡¯s boyfriend? Just because he was young and handsome? What a joke! Tu Dapeng continued, ¡°So you¡¯re from Qing City and studying in Jiangbei. You¡¯re lucky to have followed Han Tian here today. ¡°Because today, you have the chance to see a few big shots that you might never see again! ¡°You¡¯re studying at Jiangbei University. You should know about Xiao Wu Wholesale City, right?¡± Xiao Wu Wholesale City? Was that not his company? Of course, he knew it! Lin Fan was puzzled. Why did he suddenly mention Xiao Wu Wholesale City? However, he still nodded. ¡°Today, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City will be coming personally!¡± Tu Dapeng said. ¡°Do you know about the new landmark of Jiangbei, the Imperial Hotel?¡± Tu Dapeng asked after a pause. Of course, Lin Fan knew! This hotel belonged to Lin Fan! Hence, Lin Fan nodded his head once more. ¡°The general manager of the Imperial Hotel will be coming over later too!¡± Tu Dapeng said. Then, he continued, ¡°I wonder if you pay any attention to the company that produced the medicine you take when you fall sick? Many of them are from Liu Pharmaceuticals! ¡°The CEO of Liu Pharmaceuticals will be here today! ¡°Also, you¡¯re from Qing City. You must know about Qing Kun Group, right? If you don¡¯t, it doesn¡¯t matter¡­ Qing Kun Supermarket, Qing Kun City, and Qingkun Central are under it¡­ By the way, the hotel we¡¯re at now, Qing Kun Hotel, belongs to Qing Kun Group! ¡°The chairman of Qing Kun Group will also be here later!¡± Tu Dapeng was excited as if he knew everything! It was as if he was doing something big. When Lin Fan heard this, a strange look appeared on his face. The people who came today seemed to all be familiar faces! When Zhao Liping heard that so many big shots were coming, she could not help but reveal a look of surprise. She asked, ¡°Tu Dapeng, how do you know this? Are they really coming?¡± ¡°I just saw the guest list. They should be coming.¡± Tu Dapeng coughed. Suddenly, a series of heavy footsteps sounded in the distance. Then, a large group of men and women in suits and leather shoes strode in¡­ Chapter 209 - 209 Gathering of Big Bosses; Mr. Lin! 209 Gathering of Big Bosses; Mr. Lin! The gazes of many people in the hall were all attracted by the temperament of this group of people. ¡°The man in the white shirt in front seems to be the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, Zhang Zhou! ¡°The one wearing silver glasses next to him¡­ It¡¯s the general manager of the Imperial Hotel, Wang Fengyi! ¡°The one on the far right seems to be Liu Qingping, the CEO of Liu Pharmaceuticals!¡± ¡°The one in the middle is the chairman of Qing Kun Group, Li Wannian!¡± Exclamations and discussions rose and fell in the hall. Everyone looked at them with admiration and admiration. In their eyes, these people were like the brightest stars! Wu Meng, who was hosting the wedding banquet today, brought a couple and quickly went up to welcome them. ¡°Hahaha! Welcome, welcome to my son¡¯s wedding,¡± Wu Meng¡¯s face was flushed as he shouted happily. ¡°President Wu, you¡¯re too polite.¡± All the CEOs cupped their fists in return, and the scene was extremely lively. ¡°Let¡¯s not stand here. We don¡¯t want to block these big shots. Let¡¯s sit down first,¡± Tu Dapeng reminded. At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly sounded from the crowd of CEOs. ¡°Brother Lin Fan?¡± Then, Liu Yuhang walked over quickly and said happily, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, it really is you! Haha! I didn¡¯t expect to see you here!¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it either.¡± Liu Qingping, the CEO of Liu Pharmaceuticals, also walked over. He knew his son very well. In fact, he was also very proud. Ordinary people were not worthy of his attention at all. There were very few people who his son would treat so kindly and even address as Brother. Therefore, Liu Qingping could not help but ask, ¡°Yuhang, this is¡­¡± ¡°Dad, this is Lin Fan, Brother Lin Fan! ¡± Liu Yuhang introduced. Lin Fan! Liu Qingping naturally knew this name. The first time, Liu Yuhang said that Lin Fan had saved the life of Zhou Guotao. The Zhou family¡­ That was one of the top families in Hua Nation! At that time, Liu Family decided to build a good relationship with Lin Fan. The second time, Liu Yuhang said that Lin Fan had insider information about the stock market and asked if the Liu family wanted to invest together. Insider information on the stock market? Was such an old-fashioned trick being used to deceive the Liu family? If it was someone else who said this, the Liu family would definitely kick the other party away. However, the person who said that was Lin Fan! In order to build a relationship with Lin Fan, the Liu family invested 600 million. To the Liu family, even if they lost 100 to 200 million, as long as they had a good relationship with Lin Fan, it was nothing. However, Lin Fan managed to raise the profit rate of the Liu family to 400% in just three days! When Liu Qingping saw the stock trading records and the final investment return, he felt like he was dreaming. Unbelievable! It was also because of this that the Liu family was even more determined to build a good relationship with Lin Fan. ¡°So it¡¯s Lin Fan, haha! I¡¯ve often heard Yuhang mention you. You¡¯re indeed a talented person!¡± Liu Qingping praised sincerely. The CEOs who were walking into the hall heard the voices of Liu Qingping, Liu Yuhang, and Lin Fan. They all turned their heads to look. In the next moment, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, Zhang Zhou, the general manager of Imperial Hotel, Wang Fengyi, and the chairman of Qing Kun Group, Li Wannian, shouted. ¡°Mr. Lin!¡± ¡°Mr. Lin!¡± ¡°Mr. Lin!¡± These three existences that many people looked up to hurriedly came before Lin Fan under everyone¡¯s puzzled gazes. The chairman of Qing Kun Group, Li Wannian, said in an extremely respectful tone, ¡°Mr. Lin, it¡¯s great to see you today. All the executives of our Qing Kun Group unanimously want to invite you to host this year¡¯s annual meeting and determine the dividends for this year.¡± Zhang Zhou, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, quickly followed up, ¡°Mr. Lin, our Xiao Wu Wholesale City also wants to invite you to host the annual meeting and handle the important matters of the company.¡± The general manager of the Imperial Hotel, Wang Fengyi, said, ¡°Mr. Lin, all the staff of the Imperial Hotel are looking forward to you hosting the annual meeting¡­¡± ¡°I won¡¯t be hosting the annual meetings,¡± said Lin Fan. ¡°As for the major matters of the various companies, as usual, you can handle them on your own. ¡°As for the dividends, it¡¯ll be the same as in previous years. They¡¯ll be distributed according to the profits, and my share will be directly transferred to my card.¡± If he really did as they said and hosted the annual meetings, then he had to deal with all kinds of important matters¡­ Would that not make him busy to death? This was not the life that Lin Fan wanted. Li Wannian, the chairman of Qing Kun Group, Zhang Zhou, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, and Wang Fengyi, the general manager of the Imperial Hotel, agreed helplessly. This scene was witnessed by everyone present. The three big shots were actually so respectful to a young man and even invited him to host the annual meetings and deal with the important matters of the companies? What was the identity of this young man? Finally, Wu Meng, who was standing at the side, could not help but ask, ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°Mr. Lin is the largest shareholder of our Qing Kun Group!¡± Li Wannian said. ¡°He¡¯s also the biggest shareholder of our Xiao Wu Wholesale City!¡± Zhang Zhou said. ¡°Mr. Lin is the owner of our Imperial Hotel,¡± Wang Fengyi said. Silence! The entire hall fell silent! Everyone looked at Lin Fan in shock. One had to know¡­ Qing Kun Group was a star enterprise in Qing City with thousands of employees. Xiao Wu Wholesale City was a listed company with a market value of ten billion yuan. The Imperial Hotel was a landmark building in Jiangbei. All of these belonged to Lin Fan? This¡­ This¡­ Han Tian knew that Lin Fan was very rich and impressive. He was the landlord of the entire Washington Palace. He had casually bought a large condominium in Yi Ke City and owned the entire Coiling Dragon Villa Complex. He even owned Zhenhe Yuting! However, at this moment, Han Tian was equally shocked. Zhao Liping and Chen Dongxiang, who were standing at the side, opened their mouths wide. Tu Dapeng buried his head very low, wishing he could find a hole to hide in. He said that Lin Fan was lucky to meet big shots he would never see again in his life. The result? All of them were Lin Fan¡¯s subordinates! What kind of stupid thing did he say? At this moment, Wu Meng, who was also extremely shocked, finally came back to his senses. He said in an excited tone, ¡°Mr. Lin, you¡¯re here, but I didn¡¯t welcome you in time. It¡¯s my fault for not welcoming you well. Please forgive me, Mr. Lin.¡± Lin Fan said casually, ¡°I¡¯m here with my girlfriend to attend your son¡¯s wedding. It¡¯s normal that you didn¡¯t know. You don¡¯t have to mind it.¡± ¡°M-Mr. Lin, please come in,¡± Wu Meng said. Lin Fan nodded his head and held Han Tian¡¯s slender waist. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, they slowly walked forward. Chapter 210 - 210 Buying a Car; Visiting the Homeroom Teacher! 210 Buying a Car; Visiting the Homeroom Teacher! Under Wu Meng¡¯s invitation, Lin Fan and Han Tian sat at Table 1. Today was the wedding banquet, and the main character should be the groom, Wu Kai. However, the main topic of discussion today was Lin Fan. Many guests also toasted Lin Fan. Regarding this¡­ Wu Meng and Wu Kai were not angry. On the contrary, they were extremely happy. The wedding banquet lasted for three hours before it slowly came to an end. Originally, Han Tian wanted to spend more time with Lin Fan in Qing City. However, Lianjia¡¯s headquarters had called her several times to urge her to return to Jiangbei as soon as possible. After Han Tian and Lin Fan were intimate for a while, they had no choice but to part. At this moment, Lin Fan was standing by the road, waiting for a taxi. However, he did not see any cars for a few minutes. He could not help but look into the distance and happened to see a Mercedes-Benz shop. ¡°I won¡¯t have a car for the next few days,¡± he muttered. ¡°It¡¯s not convenient. I should just buy one.¡± After saying that, Lin Fan walked straight into the Mercedes-Benz shop. ¡°Welcome to Mercedes-Benz!¡± The saleswoman standing at the door smiled. Then, she quickly poured a cup of green tea and continued, ¡°Is there anything I can help you with?¡± Service first, then work. Lin Fan could not help but nod his head. The service of the Mercedes-Benz was pretty good. ¡°I¡¯m here to buy a car. Do you have any cars available?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°We have the C series and E series cars here, and the GLA and GLC SUV over there¡­¡± The saleswoman pointed at the cars in the exhibition hall and said. Lin Fan looked over and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll buy a GLC.¡± He had driven a lot of supercars, and now he felt tired when he saw the low cars. Therefore, he chose the larger GLC. ¡°This is a GLC300L, the body¡­¡± the female salesperson said. However, before she could finish her introduction, Lin Fan took out a bank card and interrupted her, ¡°Swipe this card.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The saleswoman was stunned. W-What was going on? She had not introduced the car yet. Could it be¡­ Did he already know about the car? However, she had not said the price yet. Did he not need to know the price? After a while, the saleswoman came back to her senses and said, ¡°Uhh¡­ The price of this car is 450,000 yuan. Including the purchase tax and insurance¡­ the total is 520,000.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Fan nodded. Alright? Just one word? Was he really not going to bargain? The saleswoman took the bank card in a daze and turned around to walk toward the finance department. ¡°Wait!¡± Lin Fan said. The saleswoman was delighted. ¡®Is he finally going to bargain?¡¯ ¡°I want two!¡± Lin Fan said. Lin Fan had already given his parents five million. However, they lived a frugal life and were still reluctant to spend the money. His father still only had an old van to transport goods. Since that was the case, he would buy him a new car. Although the Mercedes-Benz GLC was cheaper, at least it was better than a broken van, right? The saleswoman was speechless. Beep! When the bank card was swiped on the POS machine, a crisp sound was heard, and the receipt for 1.04 million appeared. Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you another 20,000. Help me get the license and insurance. Then, send the cars to my house.¡± After Lin Fan left the Mercedes-Benz shop, the saleswoman was still standing there in a daze. From the time Lin Fan entered the shop to the time he swiped his card and left, excluding the time she poured tea for him, was it even three minutes? Spending 1.04 million in three minutes to buy two GLCs? The saleswoman felt like she was dreaming. At this moment, a few colleagues came over and said, ¡°Xiao Qian, congratulations on selling two GLCs. You have to treat me tonight!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± ¡°You must treat me!¡± ¡­. After Lin Fan walked out of the Mercedes-Benz shop, he saw a taxi. ¡°Go to Central Hospital,¡± he said after some thought. ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re here?¡± Yang Wei said happily. ¡°How¡¯s the homeroom teacher?¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°He¡¯s much better now! It¡¯s all thanks to you!¡± Yang Wei said. Yang Wei definitely said this from the bottom of her heart. If it was not for Lin Fan, Chief Physician Li Quan would not have come all the way here to perform Li Yong¡¯s surgery. It would have been impossible for Li Yong to stay in the VIP ward and receive the best recuperation. Lin Fan looked at the bed. Indeed, Li Yong¡¯s complexion had improved a lot. He felt a little more at ease. The two of them chatted for a while before Lin Fan spent ten million yuan to buy a bottle of Medical Water from the system. ¡°This is a type of medicine. When the homeroom teacher¡¯s body is slightly better, have him drink it. It¡¯ll help his body,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright, thank you, Lin Fan,¡± Yang Wei said. Then, Lin Fan turned around and prepared to leave. At this moment, Li Xinyue, who had not spoken much, said in a very clear voice, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re studying at Jiangbei University, right?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan replied. Li Xinyue looked at Lin Fan with her big black eyes and said seriously, ¡°I¡¯ll go to Jiangbei University in the future.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you at Jiangbei University.¡± After saying that, he turned around and walked out again. When Lin Fan returned home, his parents were not back yet. Hence, Lin Fan lay down on the sofa and started playing with his phone. Not long after, he turned his attention to the system. [Level: LV6] [Level 6 reward: 50 yuan for every breath; 50 yuan for every second of sleep, and 50 yuan for every step taken. Rewards are distributed at 12 a.m. daily.] [Upgrade cost: 58.8 million/100 million (not including gifts and gambling. In addition, all items obtained from the system are prohibited from being traded.] [Skills: Professional Driving Skills, Charming Aura (5% chance of triggering love at first sight, unforgettable memory), Violent Aesthetics, Drinking Gentleman, Absolute Focus (10% chance of triggering a flash of inspiration), Professor-Level Mathematics Experience, Eyes of Truth¡­ Professional Law Experience, Expert-Level Planting Technique, Professional-Level Violin Technique.] Lin Fan muttered, ¡°There¡¯s still a long way to go before the next level up. Forget it, let¡¯s see what I can get from the five silver packets I received two days ago. ¡°Open!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 800,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one million yuan.] [Ding! [Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a one yuan critical hit card. After spending one yuan, you can get 100 million yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 100,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 400,000 yuan.] Lin Fan sighed and said, ¡°It seems like¡­ it¡¯s all useless.¡± Then, he turned his attention to the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Brilliant KTV.] ¡°Brilliant KTV? This seems to be the biggest KTV chain in Qing City, right? Why are you giving this to me?¡± Lin Fan pursed his lips. Chapter 211 - 211 Continuing to Sign In; Meeting Huang De! 211 Continuing to Sign In; Meeting Huang De! The next morning. After Lin Fan woke up, he looked at his phone as usual. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 3,570,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Lin Fan casually swiped his phone for a while and muttered, ¡°I got Brilliance KTV when I signed in yesterday. Let¡¯s see what I can get today.¡± ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 51% of Shunshun Express¡¯ shares.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. One had to know¡­ Shunshun Express was the largest private express delivery company in Hua Nation. It was known for its speed and service. Its market value had reached more than 300 billion. 51% of the shares? In other words, he had obtained more than 150 billion today! Lin Fan played with his phone in bed for a while before getting up and washing up. His parents had gone to the shop early in the morning. Lin Fan went out by himself and spent 20 yuan to buy a basket of steamed dumplings and a bowl of beef noodles. Then, he spent another one yuan on a cup of soy milk. At this moment, a notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve spent one yuan. Do you want to use the one yuan critical hit card?] ¡°Yes!¡± Lin Fan said casually. Not long after, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket vibrated. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 100,000,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Even though Lin Fan was no longer interested in money, when he saw that he had received 100 million yuan, he could not help but smile. After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Fan walked along the winding road casually. Looking at the familiar scenery, he felt relaxed and reminisced. ¡°Lin Fan!¡± A Volkswagen drove over from afar, and it suddenly stopped. Huang De poked his head out of the driver¡¯s seat. Lin Fan had a good impression of Huang De. Firstly, they had a good relationship when they were in school. Secondly, Huang De was the one who informed him that their homeroom teacher was seriously ill. A person who knew how to respect his teachers was worth befriending. Moreover, that teacher had also taken care of Lin Fan. ¡°Huang De, are you going to work?¡± Lin Fan asked happily. ¡°That¡¯s right! Lin Fan, you¡¯re on vacation now, right? Do you want to come to my workplace to play? I¡¯ll bring you and your sister-in-law for lunch,¡± Huang De said. Lin Fan remembered that Huang De worked on Hushui Street as a government servant. He had never been there before. Lin Fan was also curious about Huang De¡¯s girlfriend. Plus, he really did not have anything to do later. ¡°Alright,¡± he replied. Then, Lin Fan sat in the Volkswagen. The two of them chatted during the journey. It was quite relaxed and carefree. Not long after, the two of them arrived at Hushui Street. The office building on Hushui Street was relatively old. Fortunately, there were computers, desks, cabinets, and so on. It was also clean and tidy. It was quite comfortable here. Huang De first poured a cup of tea for Lin Fan. Then, he prepared many newspapers and magazines for him. ¡°Lin Fan, sit here for a while. I¡¯m going to work first.¡± ¡°Okay, you go ahead,¡± Lin Fan said. Many people always felt that government servants had a peaceful job. They drank a pot of tea, read the newspaper, and sat there for an entire day. In reality? After chatting with Lin Fan for a while, Huang De got busy in front of the computer, writing materials or organizing files. He was very serious and responsible. As a result, when Huang De finished his cup of tea, he did not even have time to refill it. In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. At this moment, a young woman with an oval face and fair skin walked over with a stack of documents. She first poured a glass of water for Huang De and then said, ¡°The leader wants you to write a summary of yesterday¡¯s meeting.¡± When Huang De saw her, it was as if all the fatigue in his body had disappeared. He said happily, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll summarize it later.¡± ¡°Lin Fan, this is my girlfriend, Wang Xi.¡± Lin Fan stood up and said, ¡°Sister-in-law is so beautiful. Hi, I¡¯m Huang De¡¯s high school classmate.¡± Wang Xi was also very happy. ¡°Wait a little longer, Huang De and I will treat you to lunch.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Lin Fan smiled. At this moment, a series of dull footsteps sounded from outside the corridor. Then, Wang Hairui, who was wearing silver-rimmed glasses, walked over and said in a deep voice, ¡°Wang Xi, there¡¯s a problem with a piece of information from Group Leader Liu. Go over and help deal with it.¡± When Wang Xi heard this, her face revealed a hint of reluctance. She said, ¡°Dad, can¡¯t you let someone else handle it?¡± ¡°What are you so busy with? Hurry over!¡± Wang Hairui¡¯s face turned serious as he shouted. ¡°Alright then,¡± Wang Xi said reluctantly. After Wang Xi left, Wang Hairui looked at Huang De with a stern gaze and said, ¡°Huang De, I know you like my daughter, but I¡­ don¡¯t think you¡¯re suitable for her.¡± ¡°Team Leader Wang, Xi Xi and I are truly in love,¡± Huang De said. Wang Hairui raised an eyebrow, looked around, and said in a low voice, ¡°True love? Can you give her happiness? You¡¯re just a small team member now!¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Huang De opened his mouth, wanting to retort. However, his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he could not utter a single word. That was right. He was just a small team member. He only earned 3,000 yuan per month. If nothing unexpected happened, it would probably be the same after five years or even ten years¡­ How should he give Wang Xi happiness? At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded from outside. ¡°Greetings, Captain Song!¡± someone greeted respectfully. Wang Hairui turned around slowly. When he saw several men in white shirts, especially the bald man at the front, his pupils constricted slightly. Song Wenwu, the captain of Qing City¡¯s Finance Department! This leader actually came to their small street! Therefore, Wang Hairui said in a very respectful tone, ¡°Hello, Captain Song!¡± When Song Wenwu heard the voice, he looked over and smiled, ¡°Team Leader Wang, did I disturb your work?¡± ¡°How could that be? It¡¯s our honor to have you come to our street office to guide us,¡± Wang Hairui said. Song Wenwu nodded and was about to speak again. In the next moment¡­ His entire expression turned solemn! Song Wenwu suddenly saw Lin Fan! He quickened his pace and walked forward. Wang Hairui saw Song Wenwu walking toward him, and he was overwhelmed by his favor. However, he did not dare to let Song Wenwu come to him personally. Wang Hairui hastened his steps. However¡­ Just as Wang Hairui was about to shake hands with Song Wenwu, Song Wenwu walked past him. Finally, Song Wenwu arrived in front of Lin Fan. He bent down and extended his hands. He said in an excited and respectful tone, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin!¡± Chapter 212 - 212 Invitation; Everyones Envy! 212 Invitation; Everyone¡¯s Envy! Even though Song Wenwu had only met Lin Fan once, that time left a deep impression on him, and he would never forget it. That was because it was Lin Fan¡¯s grandfather¡¯s birthday celebration. Song Wenwu still remembered clearly¡­ At that time, all the higher-ups in Qing City, Jiangbei, and Jiang province went to celebrate Lin Fan¡¯s grandfather¡¯s birthday. Even Old Master Qin Weiming went. From this, one could see just how high Lin Fan¡¯s status was. Song Wenwu had dreamed of meeting Lin Fan again, but he did not expect that he would be able to do so today. Back then, Lin Fan had only casually glanced at Song Wenwu in the crowd. However, he remembered him. At this moment, Lin Fan saw that Song Wenwu had lowered himself and greeted him. He returned the greeting and stretched out his right hand, ¡°Captain Song, right? Hello.¡± When Song Wenwu saw Lin Fan shaking hands with him, he was extremely excited. He quickly said, ¡°Mr. Lin, you can call me Lil Song. Lil Song will do.¡± Their conversation was heard by everyone present, and their faces were filled with confusion and shock. One had to know¡­ Song Wenwu was the captain of the city¡¯s Finance Department. When had everyone ever seen him so respectful and fawning over someone? Moreover, the other party was a young man who looked to be in his 20s! It was unbelievable. Lin Fan smiled, ¡°You¡¯re about the same age as my dad. I¡¯ll just call you Old Song.¡± ¡°Alright, alright,¡± Song Wenwu said happily. Then, Lin Fan pointed at Huang De and said, ¡°This is my good friend Huang De. He works at Hushui Street. He¡¯s quite capable.¡± ¡°Huang De is a diligent person with a strong working ability. I¡¯ve heard of him long ago,¡± Song Wenwu hurriedly said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to be your good friend.¡± It had to be said that Song Wenwu¡¯s speech was really good. In reality? Song Wenwu had seen Huang De before, but he did not know his name. Lin Fan did not point it out. He continued, ¡°Huang Degang told me that there are too few businesses in Qing City, causing the living standards of the people to be too poor. ¡°I think what he said makes sense, so I promised Huang De that I would help find a group of companies to invest in.¡± Then, he looked at his phone and said, ¡°It¡¯s getting late. Old Song, please help me invite Leader Zhao Jiaqi. I¡¯ll invite Liu Qingping, the chairman of Liu Pharmaceuticals, Li Wannian, the chairman of Qing Kun Group, Zhang Zhou, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, and Wang Fengyi, the general manager of the Imperial Hotel, to have lunch together. What do you think?¡± Liu Pharmaceuticals, Qing Kun Group, Xiao Wu Wholesale City, the Imperial Hotel ¡­ These were all large companies and enterprises worth tens of billions! If he invited the CEOs of these companies to have a meal together and pulled in some investments, it would be a huge investment of hundreds of millions or even billions! How many jobs would be created? Just thinking about it made Song Wenwu¡¯s throat go dry. ¡°Yes, yes. I¡¯ll contact Leader Zhao right away,¡± he said hurriedly. After saying that, Song Wenwu quickly took out his phone and dialed Zhao Jiaqi¡¯s number. Although Lin Fan had not called the CEOs yet and had only told him about it, Song Wenwu believed that he could call these people over. He was Lin Fan! Even if Lin Fan did not manage to get these big businessmen to come over, it did not matter. Song Wenwu believed that Lin Fan just needed to say that he wanted to have a meal with them and those people would agree. Leader Zhao would definitely accept the invitation too. After a while, the call went through. ¡°Hello?¡± A dignified voice came from the phone. ¡°Hello, Leader. This is Song Wenwu.¡± Song Wenwu said. ¡°Captain Song, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Zhao Jiaqi¡¯s tone softened a little when he answered the phone. Song Wenwu said, ¡°Mr. Lin Fan asked me to invite you to have a meal with Liu Qingping, the chairman of the Liu Pharmaceuticals, Li Wannian, the chairman of Qing Kun Group, Zhang Zhou, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, and Wang Fengyi, the general manager of the Imperial Hotel. Are you free this afternoon? ¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Zhao Jiaqi¡¯s tone immediately became extremely high as he said, ¡°Please tell Mr. Lin that I¡¯m free. Also, if you haven¡¯t booked a hotel yet, I¡¯ll arrange for everyone to go to Qing City Grand Hotel.¡± In many big cities, the restaurants named after the city were all top-notch in terms of taste, scale, and class. Obviously, the Qing City Grand Hotel was one of them. Song Wenwu put the phone aside and whispered, ¡°Mr. Lin, the leader asked if you¡¯ve booked a restaurant? If you haven¡¯t, he¡¯ll arrange for everyone to go to Qing City Grand Hotel.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll have to trouble Leader Zhao.¡± Hence, Song Wenwu relayed Lin Fan¡¯s words to Leader Zhao. At this point, the call ended. After the meeting ended, Lin Fan took out his phone and dialed Liu Yuhang¡¯s number. ¡°Yuhang, are you and your dad still in Qing City?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°We¡¯re still here. We¡¯re going back to Jiangbei in the afternoon. Brother Lin Fan, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Liu Yuhang seemed to have heard the seriousness in Lin Fan¡¯s tone, so he did not shout around like he usually did. Lin Fan said, ¡°That¡¯s great. I want to have lunch with you guys.¡± ¡°Okay! My dad and I will definitely be there on time,¡± Liu Yuhang said. In fact, they had a lunch appointment with a medicinal herb merchant in Qing City. That was why they wanted to return to Jiangbei in the afternoon. However, how could a small medicinal herb merchant compare to Lin Fan? Liu Yuhang did not even think about it and agreed with Lin Fan. Then, Lin Fan dialed the numbers of Li Wannian, the chairman of Qing Kun Group, Zhang Zhou, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale Market, and Wang Fengyi, the general manager of the Imperial Hotel. Like Liu Yuhang, the three of them agreed without hesitation. After all, Lin Fan was their real boss. If the boss invited his subordinate to a meal, he had to go even if the sky was raining knives. Lin Fan said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve already arranged everything.¡± After four phone calls, he easily made an appointment with four CEOs of billion-dollar companies! It was as if these four were soldiers waiting for orders at any time. Instantly, Lin Fan¡¯s position in Song Wenwu¡¯s heart rose a lot. Lin Fan did not care about it and said, ¡°It¡¯s about time. Old Song, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Alright, alright¡­ We¡¯ll go over,¡± Song Wenwu stuttered. Lin Fan had just taken two steps forward when he realized that Huang De was not following him. He stopped and said, ¡°Huang De, why aren¡¯t you coming?¡± ¡°What? I¡­ Do I have to go over too?¡± Huang De said somewhat stiffly. He was already so shocked by what was happening in front of him that he could not control himself. ¡°These big entrepreneurs are all gathering together because of your suggestion. If you don¡¯t go, who will?¡± Lin Fan smiled. Everyone, including Song Wenwu, looked at Huang De with envy. They understood that Lin Fan wanted to give all the credit to Huang De. If the dinner later really reached an investment of hundreds of millions or even billions¡­ Huang De would have a meteoric rise! Chapter 213 - 213 Dinner; Huge Investment! 213 Dinner; Huge Investment! Qing City Grand Hotel was located in the urban area of Qing City. The decoration, the dishes, and the service were all very good. Therefore, many people in Qing City loved it. If one wanted to eat at Qing City Grand Hotel, one would usually need to make a reservation in advance. Otherwise, one might have to wait for a while. Today, Qing City Grand Hotel was as crowded as usual. ¡°Tsk!¡± At this moment, a car with the car plate number A00001 slowly drove over. The attendant standing at the door had a good eye and quickly went up to greet him. ¡°Leader Zhao, welcome, welcome!¡± the attendant said respectfully. ¡°Ask your manager to arrange a better private room. I¡¯ll be receiving important guests,¡± Zhao Jiaqi said. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll get our manager to come over now,¡± the attendant hurriedly said. After a while, Zhao Jiaqi was brought to Room 666 on the top floor of Qing City Grand Hotel by the manager. This was a private room reserved by Qing City Grand Hotel. It was usually not open to the public and would only be used by some big shots. Obviously, Zhao Jiaqi belonged to such a category. A moment later, Lin Fan, Huang De, Song Wenwu, Liu Qingping, Liu Yuhang, Li Wannian, Zhang Zhou, Wang Fengyi, and the others entered the private room. ¡°Brother Lin, long time no see!¡± Zhao Jiaqi laughed heartily and gave Lin Fan a bear hug. Seeing this¡­ Everyone present was slightly shocked. Although they were all big entrepreneurs and had seen many leaders, most of the leaders were very serious and put on airs. When had they ever seen a leader so close to someone? Moreover, he was a young man in his 20s. Lin Fan¡­ He was even more amazing than they had imagined! Lin Fan smiled, ¡°That¡¯s right, Brother Zhao. Long time no see.¡± ¡°Welcome, big businessmen, to Qing City. Please forgive me if I¡¯m not being nice to you!¡± Zhao Jiaqi added. ¡°No, no¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s my honor to have dinner with Leader Zhao.¡± Liu Qingping, Zhang Zhou, Wang Fengyi, and the others all replied. ¡°Leader Zhao, I¡¯m not a guest in Qing City. I¡¯m in my own home.¡± Li Wannian smiled. ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Zhao Jiaqi said. ¡°Then the two of us have to entertain these guests today!¡± ¡°No problem!¡± Li Wannian said. Everyone was good at talking. The entire private room would burst into hearty laughter from time to time. After chatting for a while, Lin Fan finally revealed the purpose of gathering everyone. ¡°General Manager Wang, you¡¯re an expert in hotels. What do you think about building a high-end hotel with a total investment of more than one billion in my hometown, Qing City?¡± Lin Fan asked. The moment he said that, everyone immediately understood why Lin Fan had invited them here. ¡°Qing City has a large population, a beautiful environment, and no lack of middle-class people,¡± Wang Fengyi said. ¡°Even though we have our own Qing Kun Hotel, Wang Hao Hotel, and other mid-range hotels, we lack a high-end, landmark hotel. I think that building a high-end hotel in Qing City with a total investment of more than one billion has great prospects¡­ ¡°If Qing City can provide a suitable location, I¡¯m willing to apply to the company to build a landmark hotel in Qing City based on the Imperial Hotel in Jiangbei!¡± Song Wenwu, who was sitting next to him, immediately revealed an excited expression. This was just the beginning, and Lin Fan had already pulled in more than one billion yuan of investment? This¡­ Was this not too fast? Zhao Jiaqi was also extremely happy and said, ¡°We have a few plots of excellent empty land in the center of Qing City. We were going to auction them later. But as long as you¡¯re willing to build a landmark hotel, you can have your pick!¡± Wang Fengyi smiled. ¡°That¡¯s great. I¡¯ll thank Leader Zhao first!¡± As he spoke, he raised his glass and downed it. Zhao Jiaqi said, ¡°No, no, I should be the one thanking you, Manager Wang. Thank you for your contribution to the development of Qing City!¡± Therefore, he also drank a full glass of wine. Then, Lin Fan said, ¡°Mr. Zhang, I remember that Xiao Wu Wholesale City hasn¡¯t established a storage center in the central region yet, right? What do you think of Qing City?¡± This was Lin Fan¡¯s first request as the largest shareholder. How could Zhang Zhou reject it? Moreover, Xiao Wu Wholesale City really needed a storage hub. ¡°Qing City is less than 100 kilometers away from Jiangbei,¡± Zhang Zhou said. ¡°It¡¯s convenient to get there. If there¡¯s a large open space, it¡¯s definitely a good choice to build a central warehouse here.¡± Xiao Wu Wholesale City was a large company with a market value of tens of billions. Every year, it sent out hundreds of millions of express deliveries. The importance of a storage hub could be imagined. The investment would probably be at least one billion! Another billion-dollar investment! Zhao Jiaqi said happily, ¡°Chairman Zhang, we have a large amount of industrial land in the east of Qing City. Moreover, it¡¯s closer to Jiangbei and has a two-way four-lane first-class highway. It¡¯s definitely the best place to build a logistics hub.¡± ¡°Thank you, Leader Zhao, for providing such a generous position. Let me toast you!¡± Zhang Zhou smiled. As soon as he finished speaking, he drank a glass of wine. Zhao Jiaqi also drank a glass. Lin Fan looked at Liu Qingping and said, ¡°Director Liu, what do you think of traditional medicine planting?¡± Liu Qingping said, ¡°Traditional medicine has the effect of consolidating the foundation and nurturing the body and mind. Modern people are paying more and more attention to the conditioning of traditional medicine¡­ In fact, Liu Pharmaceuticals has always been interested in traditional medicine. ¡°Qing City is located on a plain, so there¡¯s plenty of sunshine and rain. Part of the reason why I came to Qing City this time is to contract a batch of land and build a medicine planting base. ¡°But¡­ I wonder if Qing City will agree¡­¡± ¡°Qing City will definitely welcome you with open arms!¡± Zhao Jiaqi said excitedly. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then our Liu Pharmaceuticals is willing to contract 10,000 mu of land for medicine cultivation,¡± said Liu Qingping with a smile. 10,000 mu of land? If each mu of land was calculated according to the income of 100,000 yuan ¡­ 10,000 mu meant that the annual income would be more than one billion! Another huge investment of more than one billion! ¡°Thank you, Director Liu, for your support of Qing City. Thank you!¡± Zhao Jiaqi quickly raised his glass and said. ¡°Besides, I believe that Qing City will not disappoint Director Liu!¡± Then, Zhao Jiaqi raised his wine glass and downed it. Liu Qingping also drank a glass. Li Wannian smiled. ¡°All of you have contributed so much to the development of Qing City. As the host, I can¡¯t be left behind! ¡°Our Qing City has always lacked a place for people to study¡­ I¡¯ve decided to build a large library with an investment of no less than 500 million!¡± ¡°Good! Haha! Thank you, Chairman Li!¡± Zhao Jiaqi was overjoyed and shouted. A high-end hotel worth more than one billion yuan, a storage hub worth more than one billion yuan, a traditional medicine plantation worth more than one billion yuan, and a library worth more than 500 million yuan! Just a dinner party had directly decided on a huge investment of 3.5 billion! Terrifying! At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket rang. Chapter 214 - 214 Great Contribution; Envy! 214 Great Contribution; Envy! At this moment, Lin Fan was eating prawns, and it was not convenient for him to answer the call. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown number. Therefore, he pressed the speaker button. ¡°Hello, is this Mr. Lin?¡± A respectful voice came from the phone. Lin Fan replied casually, ¡°It¡¯s me. Who are you?¡± ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. I¡¯m the chairman of Shunshun Express Company, Wang Xiaodong,¡± Wang Xiaodong said even more respectfully. When Lin Fan heard that, he was not too surprised. After all, he had already obtained 51% of Shunshun Express¡¯ shares today. It was normal for the chairman to call. ¡°Oh, Chairman Wang, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Over the years, our Shunshun Express has developed rapidly, but we¡¯re also facing many problems¡­ ¡°In order to better serve the public and thus occupy more market share, after many discussions and analysis, we, Shunshun Express, unanimously want to invest 50 billion to build an international logistics airport in the central region. Mr. Lin, what do you think?¡± Wang Xiaodong said carefully. After all, Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder in the company. He had to get his approval for such an important matter. Wang Xiaodong did not know Lin Fan well, so he was nervous. Lin Fan¡¯s eyes moved slightly. ¡°You guys have a good idea! By the way, have you decided on the location of the logistics airport?¡± Hearing this, Wang Xiaodong heaved a sigh of relief. As long as the major shareholder agreed, that was good news! ¡°It¡¯s still under investigation,¡± Wang Xiaodong said. ¡°Mr. Lin, do you have any recommendations?¡± ¡°Jiang province¡¯s Qing City!¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Qing City is located in the middle. Regardless of location, price, or transportation¡­ All of them have good advantages, and it¡¯s my hometown. What do you think?¡± The biggest shareholder had already said so. How could Wang Xiaodong say no? Moreover, he had indeed considered Qing City. It was indeed a good place. ¡°Mr. Lin is right!¡± Wang Xiaodong said immediately. ¡°Qing City is very suitable for an international logistics airport! Then we¡¯ll set up the logistics airport in Qing City!¡± Silence! The entire private room was silent! Logistics airport? Moreover, it was an international logistics airport with an investment of 50 billion yuan. Was it confirmed just like that? This¡­ This was simply like a dream! ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯ll contact the leaders of Qing City later,¡± Wang Weidong said. Lin Fan said, ¡°No need. Leader Zhao of Qing City is beside me. You can talk to him directly.¡± At this moment, Zhao Jiaqi finally reacted. He could not help but say in an excited voice, ¡°Chairman Wang, I¡¯m Zhao Jiaqi, the leader of Qing City. ¡°Here, on behalf of Qing City, I can assure you that we¡¯ll definitely use the greatest sincerity and the most favorable conditions so that Shunshun Express can smoothly build its international logistics airport here in Qing City.¡± Wang Xiaodong was also stunned. He did not expect the leader of Qing City to be there. However, when Wang Xiaodong thought about how Lin Fan had easily bought 51% of his company¡¯s shares, he felt a little relieved. After all, it was normal for such a powerful person to be acquainted with leaders. ¡°Thank you, Leader Zhao,¡± Wang Xiaodong said. ¡°I¡¯ll bring a professional team to Qing City to investigate and decide on the specifics.¡± ¡°Good, good!¡± Zhao Jiaqi said happily. ¡°I look forward to the arrival of Chairman Wang and the experts!¡± After hanging up the phone, Zhao Jiaqi¡¯s entire face was flushed red. He looked as if he had just drunk a large bottle of wine. It was no wonder. Qing City was only a small fourth-tier city. There were not many big projects worth more than one billion yuan in the entire city. What about today? Today, they had one 500 million project, three billion-dollar projects, and even a 50 billion-dollar international logistics airport! How many economic benefits would this bring to Qing City? How many jobs would this create? In fact, not only was Zhao Jiaqi happy, but Liu Qingping, Zhang Zhou, Li Wannian, Wang Fengyi, and the others were all very happy as well. This was because Shunshun Express¡¯ international logistics airport being in Qing City would also be of some help to them. At the same time, they had a deeper understanding of Lin Fan¡¯s power. A single sentence was enough to decide the matter of the logistics airport! Shunshun Express was probably one of Lin Fan¡¯s businesses! Lin Fan said, ¡°Oh right, Brother Zhao, let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Huang De. He works at Hushui Street. ¡°He¡¯s the reason why so many big companies have decided to invest in Qing City! ¡°Brother Zhao, don¡¯t forget to reward him according to his merits!¡± How could Zhao Jiaqi not understand that Lin Fan was not someone who belonged to the system? He did not need these merits. He wanted to give all the credit to Huang De. ¡°We¡¯ll never forget anyone who has made contributions! ¡°Huang De, you¡¯re not bad! You¡¯ve won so many big projects for Qing City. After this, I¡¯ll report it to the higher authorities for you and let the whole city learn from you. ¡°You¡¯re overqualified to work in Hushui Street. Huang De, get ready¡­ You¡¯ll shoulder heavy responsibilities after this!¡± Song Wenwu, the captain of the Finance Department, looked at Huang De with envy. Although Song Wenwu had guessed that this dinner would result in hundreds of millions or even hundreds of billions of dollars worth of investment, he was still not sure how it was going to happen. He had never thought that it would be a library worth more than 500 million yuan, a hotel worth more than one billion yuan, a warehouse hub worth more than one billion yuan, a medicine plantation base worth more than one billion yuan, and an international logistics airport worth more than 50 billion yuan! Any one of them was enough to be considered a great contribution! Adding all of them together, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a great contribution! All the credit belonged to Huang De! Huang De¡¯s future was absolutely limitless! The reason for this was that Huang De had a good friend¡ªLin Fan! Then, Zhao Jiaqi raised his wine glass and said, ¡°Huang De, let me toast you.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he drank it all in one gulp. Huang De was still shocked that Lin Fan and Zhao Jiaqi wanted to give him the credit. He could not extricate himself. As a result, Zhao Jiaqi did not react in time when he toasted him. Lin Fan smiled and patted Huang De¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Brother Zhao is toasting you. Why are you still sitting there like a fool?¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Ah¡­ T-Thank you, Leader Zhao¡­¡± Only then did Huang De react. He picked up the bottle excitedly and poured himself a full glass of wine. Then, he poured it directly into his mouth. ¡°Good! Hahaha!¡± Zhao Jiaqi said happily. The meal lasted for nearly three hours before it slowly came to an end. Everyone, including Zhao Jiaqi, reeked of alcohol. They swayed and almost fell to the ground. Of course, Lin Fan, who had Drinking Gentleman, was an exception. After he sent everyone to the car, he walked leisurely on the winding road alone. Chapter 215 - 215 Change; Lets Sing Together! 215 Change; Let¡¯s Sing Together! News of Huang De¡¯s involvement in the investment of several large projects with a total investment of more than 53.5 billion quickly spread to Hushui Street. Wang Hairui¡¯s jaw dropped. Then, he quickly put down everything he was doing and rushed to his daughter, Wang Xi, and asked, ¡°Xi Xi, have you become Huang De¡¯s girlfriend?¡± Wang Xi knew that her father was very opposed to her and Huang De being together, and he always wanted to matchmake her and Group Leader Liu. In the past, she would still lie to her father. Today, she finally mustered up the courage to say, ¡°Yes, I am! I¡¯m already dating Huang De! ¡°Dad, love is free nowadays. I¡¯m happy being with the person I like. Just¡­¡± Wang Xi had already prepared a lot of words. She wanted to use reason to convince her father and let him understand how indestructible her relationship with Huang De was. However, before she could finish her sentence, Wang Hairui started shouting happily. ¡°Alright, hahaha! That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Wang Xi¡¯s voice could not help but falter when she was suddenly interrupted by her father. She looked at her father¡¯s old face as he laughed so brightly. She could not help but reveal a puzzled expression. This¡­ W-What was going on? Could it be¡­ that her father had gone mad because she was with Huang De? Thinking of this, Wang Xi said worriedly, ¡°Dad, are you alright?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Wang Hairui said happily. ¡°I¡¯m fine! Haha!¡± Wang Xi thought to herself, ¡®Why is Dad so happy?¡± Wang Hairui seemed to understand what his daughter was thinking and continued, ¡°Daughter, do you know? Huang De has gotten several large projects worth more than one billion yuan today. There¡¯s even an international logistics airport worth more than 50 billion yuan!¡± Wang Hairui¡¯s tone became even more arrogant. When Wang Xi heard this, she could not help but widen her eyes, her face filled with surprise. Even though Wang Xi was just an ordinary member of the Hushui Street Office, she knew very well what it meant to attract such a big project, especially to bring in an international logistics airport worth more than 50 billion yuan. This was definitely¡­ It was enough to completely change a person¡¯s life. Wang Hairui laughed heartily. ¡°Not bad! Daughter, you¡¯ve found a good boyfriend! You have good taste!¡± A smug smile appeared on Wang Xi¡¯s pretty face. It was as if she was saying, ¡®Your daughter has always had good taste.¡¯ Wang Hairui looked around and whispered, ¡°Daughter, you and Huang De, have you ever¡­¡± Wang Xi was not a little girl who was ignorant of the world. She naturally understood what her father was talking about. Her pretty face could not help but blush. She lowered her head and said, ¡°Dad¡­¡± Wang Hairui coughed and said, ¡°How about this? Let Huang De come to our house for dinner tonight, and the two of us can have a few drinks.¡± ¡°Alright¡­¡± Wang Xi made a mosquito-like sound. ¡­. Lin Fan had no idea about all of this. At this moment, he was still walking casually on the winding road. When he turned the corner, a group of students walked over from afar. Among them, there was a slim and elegant girl with a youthful smile on her face. ¡°Lil Yao?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Brother!¡± Lin Xiaoyao shouted happily. Then, she introduced him to the three guys and two girls beside her. ¡°Let me introduce you. This is my brother. ¡°Brother, they¡¯re all my classmates! ¡°The six of us made a bet. Whoever came in last place in the test will have to treat everyone to a karaoke session¡­ ¡°There¡¯s no evening self-study today, so Zuo Jun invited us to go karaoke. Brother, you should come too!¡± Karaoke? With his sister and a few of her classmates? Lin Fan was not interested at all. ¡°You should go with your classmates. I won¡¯t go.¡± Lin Xiaoyao hugged Lin Fan¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Brother, let¡¯s go together! It¡¯s so late now. Aren¡¯t you afraid that your cute sister will be in danger?¡± Lin Fan pinched Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s face and said, ¡°Your face is so swollen now. I¡¯m not worried, you won¡¯t be in danger.¡± ¡°Brother!¡± Lin Xiaoyao protested. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯ll go with you.¡± ¡°Yay!¡± Lin Xiaoyao cheered. Hence, the original team of six now included Lin Fan. Not long after, a very fashionable and high-end building with colorful neon lights appeared in everyone¡¯s sight. Lin Fan looked at the words ¡®Brilliance KTV¡¯ and his face turned weird. Brilliance KTV? Was this not the KTV that he owned? Singing in his own karaoke joint? Lin Xiaoyao saw that Lin Fan was standing still and thought that he was shocked by the grandeur of Brilliance KTV. She could not help but say proudly, ¡°Brother, how is it? This karaoke joint isn¡¯t any worse than the ones in Jiangbei, right?¡± Was this a compliment to his karaoke joint? Lin Fan smiled and nodded. ¡°Not bad.¡± Lin Xiaoyao could not help but feel even happier. When the group walked into Brilliance KTV, they were greeted by a fragrant aroma that made them feel relaxed and comfortable. Zuo Jun, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses, said straightforwardly, ¡°Today, it¡¯s my treat! Later, don¡¯t stand on ceremony!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to pay today,¡± said Lin Fan. After all, why would they need money to sing in his own karaoke joint? However, Zuo Jun thought that Lin Fan thought that he was still studying, which was why he did not want him to pay. Hence, he said, ¡°Brother Lin, I did badly this time. It¡¯s only right for me to treat you. Don¡¯t fight with me.¡± Lin Fan smiled but did not say anything. Soon, an attendant came up to them. ¡°Welcome to Brilliance KTV. Do you have a reserved room?¡± ¡°We didn¡¯t make a reservation,¡± said Zuo Jun. ¡°Just get us a small room.¡± ¡°Sorry, our shop is full,¡± said the attendant apologetically. ¡°What about a middle-sized room?¡± Zuo Jun asked. ¡°There¡¯s one more middle-sized room,¡± the attendant replied. ¡°Alright, then we¡¯ll take a medium-sized room,¡± said Zuo Jun. Brilliance KTV was indeed the best karaoke joint in Qing City. Even though it was an ordinary medium-sized room, the soft sofa and the interior were very good. The overall feeling was very good. Lin Fan could not help but nod his head. ¡°If you spend more than 400 yuan in our KTV¡¯s supermarket, you can sing for three hours for free,¡± the attendant said. The room fee was 100 to 200 yuan, and singing also required customers to purchase food and drinks. Now, as long as they bought some things, they could sing for free. It was a very attractive deal. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the supermarket together,¡± Zuo Jun said. ¡°Take whatever you want!¡± Chapter 216 - 216 You Don’t Have to Pay for the Broken Bottle of Liquor 216 You Don¡¯t Have to Pay for the Broken Bottle of Liquor Brilliance KTV¡¯s internal supermarket had a grand layout and a wide variety of snacks, drinks, and fruits¡­ It had everything! Lin Fan, Lin Xiaoyao, and the others were holding small baskets and choosing happily. At this moment, a girl with two ponytails pointed at a bottle of Louis XIII and said, ¡°Look at this bottle of liquor. The packaging is so special! ¡°Wow! My idol drank this liquor in a TV show!¡± another short-haired girl said excitedly. As she spoke, she could not help but reach out and take Louis XIII off the shelf. However, she accidentally dropped the liquor on the floor. Crash! Instantly, the liquor flowed all over the ground. The rich fragrance of the liquor spread throughout the supermarket. A young woman dressed in white saw this and said, ¡°The bottle is broken. This bottle of liquor doesn¡¯t look cheap! You¡¯ll have to pay for it!¡± ¡°This is Louis XIII. This bottle is probably worth at least 20,000 to 30,000.¡± The man beside the woman gloated. When the short-haired girl heard this, her face immediately turned pale. 20,000 to 30,000 yuan? She was already very flustered when she accidentally broke the liquor. After hearing that it cost that much, she was even more flustered. How could she have so much money to compensate? At this moment, an attendant also heard the noise and quickly walked over. When he saw the broken bottle and spilled liquor on the ground, he immediately stared at the short-haired girl as if he was afraid that she would run away. Then, he pointed at the sign beside him that read, ¡®If something is damaged, compensate according to the price¡¯. ¡°This is Louis XIII,¡± he said. ¡°The price is 28,888 yuan.¡± Hearing this, the short-haired girl¡¯s face turned even paler, and her entire body began to tremble. 28,888 yuan? She could not afford it at all! The man and woman who were not far away had mocking expressions on their faces when they saw this scene. ¡°This girl should still be a student. This is going to be a good show.¡± The woman sneered. The attendant seemed to have seen through the girl¡¯s identity and said, ¡°Hurry up and ask your parents to bring the money!¡± Call her parents? This was a compensation of 28,888 yuan! Her parents would definitely beat her to death. The short-haired girl began to tear up. At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside. The manager, Xu Song, who was wearing a suit and tie, also heard the commotion and walked over in large strides. The attendants who passed by greeted respectfully, ¡°Hello, Manager Xu.¡± Xu Song merely nodded his head lightly as a form of greeting. The attendant in the supermarket said, ¡°Manager Xu, this girl broke our Louis XIII. We want her to compensate us now.¡± Xu Song nodded again. In the next moment¡­ His pupils constricted. He suddenly saw Lin Fan standing beside the girl. Yesterday, Xu Song found out that Brilliance KTV had been transferred to a person called Lin Fan. That night, Xu Song could not sleep all night. It was because he did not know what kind of person his new boss was and whether he was easy to get along with. Would the new boss suddenly fire him? Therefore, Xu Song had been thinking about how he could meet this new boss and please him. Xu Song did not expect to meet the new boss today. Xu Song took a few quick steps and rushed in front of Lin Fan. He bent down and said in a respectful tone, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± ¡°Manager Xu?¡± Lin Fan replied. ¡°Hello.¡± After a pause, he pointed at the short-haired girl and said, ¡°This is my sister¡¯s classmate. She accidentally broke a bottle of liquor in the supermarket.¡± She broke a bottle of liquor in the supermarket? The boss did not mention it was his supermarket. It seemed like¡­ the boss did not want to expose himself for the time being. Xu Song¡¯s eyes turned slightly, and he looked at the short-haired girl¡¯s frightened expression. Then, he said in a concerned tone, ¡°Student, are you alright? ¡°This is just a fake bottle of liquor in our shop. It¡¯s not the real Louis XIII. It¡¯s not worth much, so you don¡¯t have to pay for it. ¡°You weren¡¯t hurt by the broken bottle, were you?¡± As Xu Song spoke, he stole a glance at Lin Fan. When he saw Lin Fan nodding his head slightly, Xu Song could not help but be delighted. His handling was indeed correct! After the short-haired girl heard Xu Song¡¯s words, the worry and fear on her face immediately dissipated. However, she was still a little nervous. ¡°I really don¡¯t need to pay?¡± As she spoke, she looked at the attendant carefully. At this moment, the attendant was also a little stunned by Xu Song¡¯s words. Fake Louis XIII wine? How was this possible? Back then, he and another attendant had personally driven to the store to bring it back! Why did the manager say that? However, Xu Song completely ignored his reaction and said with a stern expression, ¡°This is fake, right?¡± The attendant was so frightened that he became serious and quickly said, ¡°Yes, you don¡¯t have to pay.¡± Then, Xu Song said to the short-haired girl in a very calm tone, ¡°Did you hear that?¡± The short-haired girl nodded repeatedly, and her entire person gradually relaxed. The young woman in white beside them curled her lips and said, ¡°What? It¡¯s actually fake!¡± ¡°Sigh, there¡¯s no good show to watch,¡± the man said. After the two of them finished speaking, they took the snacks they had bought and walked out in disappointment. Zuo Jun, the girl with two ponytails, Lin Xiaoyao, and the others all heaved a sigh of relief. When they returned to the karaoke room, they began to discuss. ¡°I was really scared to death just now,¡± the girl with ponytails said. ¡°Me too!¡± a boy said. ¡°28,888 yuan for a bottle of liquor? Heavens! Sell me,¡± Zuo Jun said. ¡°Fortunately, it was fake. Otherwise, I really wouldn¡¯t know what to do today,¡± the short-haired girl said. ¡°However, the manager is quite good. If it was someone with a bad heart, they might have insisted that it was real,¡± the girl with the ponytails said. ¡°That¡¯s right. In the future, if we want to sing, let¡¯s come to Brilliance KTV!¡± A boy suggested. Lin Xiaoyao tried to smooth things over. ¡°Alright, alright. Just be more careful next time. Let¡¯s sing quickly. The timer has already started.¡± Thus, Lin Xiaoyao chose a song first and sang loudly with the short-haired girl. Lin Fan listened to their song and frowned. If one had to comment on it, it was like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves. However, it had to be said that after a series of wails and howls, everyone¡¯s mood was much better. It was as if they had immediately forgotten all the unhappiness. The atmosphere in the private room was extremely lively. Everyone ran to the screen and began to choose their favorite song, ready to roar. At this moment, there was a light knock on the door. After a while, Xu Song slowly pushed open the door of the private room. When the girl with the ponytails, the short-haired girl, and the others saw him again, their hearts tightened again. They thought to themselves, ¡®Could it be that this manager is going back on his word? Will he say that the broken bottle of liquor isn¡¯t fake? Chapter 217 - 217 Sing Another Song; Break Another Bottle of Louis XIII! 217 Sing Another Song; Break Another Bottle of Louis XIII! The music stopped temporarily¡­ Xu Song slowly walked in amidst the tense situation. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for disturbing everyone¡¯s session,¡± Xu Song apologized. ¡°Our Brilliance KTV has prepared some things as compensation to make up for the shock that the student experienced after breaking the bottle of Louis XIII. I hope you don¡¯t mind.¡± Then, two attendants pushed in two large carts of food. There were fresh fruits, good snacks, delicious drinks, and alcohol¡­ Soon, the table in the private room was completely filled with food. ¡°I hope everyone can have a good time at Brilliance KTV. Also, if you need anything else, feel free to tell us at any time,¡± said Xu Song. After saying that, he slowly left the private room with the two attendants. The people in the room first looked at the snacks on the table and then looked at each other. In the next moment, a wave of enthusiastic cheers erupted. ¡°Heavens!¡± ¡°So many snacks!¡± ¡°So many fruits!¡± ¡°Look, there are even cherries! They¡¯re so sweet!¡± ¡°The beef jerky tastes so good!¡± ¡°Breaking the bottle was worth it. It was really worth it!¡± ¡°Go smash another bottle!¡± ¡­ Everyone was eating snacks and fruits while shouting excitedly. The atmosphere in the entire private room was extremely lively. In order to celebrate the delicious food, they sang even louder. The wails of ghosts and wolves were deafening. At this moment, Lin Xiaoyao realized that Lin Fan was not singing. She could not help but urge him, ¡°Brother, come and sing too! ¡°Could it be that you¡¯re afraid that your singing won¡¯t be good, so you¡¯re shy?¡± Lin Fan rolled his eyes at her and said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that after I sing, you guys won¡¯t have the intention to sing anymore.¡± After all, Lin Fan was someone with Heavenly Voice. His voice was extremely pleasant to the ears and could definitely form a sharp contrast with everyone present. If he were to sing, they would probably doubt their lives. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, our ears can handle it! Feel free to howl!¡± Lin Xiaoyao smiled. Obviously, she thought that Lin Fan was saying that his singing was terrible. Therefore, it would affect everyone¡¯s ears. Lin Fan smiled and shook his head. At this moment, the music started playing. The prelude to Summer Wind reverberated in the private room. Lin Xiaoyao took the microphone and handed it to Lin Fan. ¡°Brother, you definitely know how to sing this song.¡± Just as Lin Xiaoyao said, Lin Fan could sing this song. Lin Fan looked at Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s determined eyes and took the microphone with a smile. Then, he slowly opened his mouth. ¡°The wind in July is so lazy that even the clouds are getting hot. ¡°Not long after, the sky became stuffy and rain fell behind the clouds¡­¡± Lin Fan¡¯s voice was low and gentle. The few people who were eating snacks, drinking, and chatting all stopped what they were doing and looked at Lin Fan with infatuated eyes. The continuous classes made them feel heavy and tired. The tall campus walls were like cages, imprisoning their bodies and souls. However, when they heard Lin Fan¡¯s voice, they felt as if a gentle breeze had brushed past their faces. It was as if they had been given a pair of pure white wings, allowing their bodies and souls to soar freely under the blue sky. This was a relaxed and carefree feeling that they had never felt before, a kind of enjoyment that came from the soul! ¡°The summer wind is blowing warmly, passing through my hair and ears. ¡°You and my summer, the wind gently said.¡± Finally, the song ended. The entire private room was silent for a moment before it suddenly erupted into enthusiastic cheers. ¡°It¡¯s so good!¡± ¡°Brother Lin, you¡¯re way too good at singing!¡± ¡°Your voice is simply too great!¡± Waves of praise rose and fell. ¡°Brother, when did you become such a good singer?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked excitedly. ¡°I¡¯ve always been good at singing,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°You just never realized it.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Lin Xiaoyao was a little confused. At this moment, the prelude to the next song began to play in the private room. ¡°It¡¯s Fairy Tale! My favorite song is Fairy Tale. Brother, quickly sing this song,¡± Lin Xiaoyao shouted. The others echoed loudly. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯ll sound so good singing this song.¡± ¡°I beg Brother Lin Fan to sing Fairy Tale.¡± Seeing so many requests, Lin Fan could not reject them. ¡°I forgot how long it has been since I heard you tell me your favorite story. ¡°I thought about it for a long time. I started to panic. Did I do something wrong again¡­¡± Initially, there was still some noise. However, after Lin Fan started singing, it instantly quieted down. Only Lin Fan¡¯s crisp voice echoed in the room. At the same time, everyone¡¯s bodies swayed along with the rhythm of the song. In everyone¡¯s eyes, it was as if they were not in a karaoke room at all but in a grand opera house. Lin Fan was not sitting on the sofa and singing. Instead, he was wearing a black suit and playing a beautiful piano song on a high-end stage. A flashy stage light shone down and landed on Lin Fan¡¯s body, causing his body to emit a dazzling light. At this moment, Lin Fan seemed to be the only light in the world! It was so fascinating. ¡°You have to believe, believe that we¡¯ll be like in fairy tales. We¡¯ll have our happy ending. We¡¯ll write our ending together.¡± After the song ended, everyone was stunned. The girl with two ponytails and the short-haired girl looked at Lin Fan with bright eyes. Lin Xiaoyao was the first to shout. ¡°Brother, I love you so much!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she threw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s embrace. Lin Fan reminded her, ¡°We¡¯re siblings!¡± As he spoke, he was about to push Lin Xiaoyao to the side. However, Lin Xiaoyao was like a sticky candy. She hugged Lin Fan tightly and could not be pushed away. ¡°Continue, Brother! Continue singing!¡± Lin Xiaoyao shouted. ¡°I¡¯ve already sung two songs in a row,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°You and your classmates can sing now.¡± If Lin Fan had not sung, they could have still continued to wail. However, after hearing Lin Fan¡¯s heavenly voice, how could they still have the face to wail and howl? ¡°Brother Lin, please continue singing.¡± ¡°Another song!¡± ¡­ Lin Fan waved his hand. ¡°My throat can¡¯t take it anymore. I need to rest. You guys can sing.¡± After all, this was a gathering between Lin Xiaoyao and her classmates. It would be inappropriate for him to keep singing. When Lin Xiaoyao and the others heard this, they could only pick up the microphones and start howling again. ¡­ The singing lasted for a full three hours before everyone walked out with their stomachs full of snacks and their faces plastered with smiles. When they passed by the supermarket¡­ Bang! The young woman in white dropped a bottle of Louis XIII on the ground. Glass shards immediately shattered on the ground, and the rich aroma of the liquor continued to spread. Chapter 218 - 218 Compensate According to the Price; My Shop! 218 Compensate According to the Price; My Shop! The young woman in white and the man by her side had brought a large group of friends to sing today. As a result, the snacks that they bought earlier were still not enough. Thus, they went to the supermarket again. When the young woman arrived at the liquor section, she saw a bottle of Louis XIII. Hence, she casually picked it up and sized it up curiously. After all, this was a famous bottle of liquor that could only be seen in movies and TV shows. However, the young woman was careless and dropped the bottle on the ground. The bottle shattered and the liquor flowed out. Seeing this¡­ The young woman and the man did not pay much attention to it. It was because they knew that this was just a fake bottle. They did not have to pay for it. At this moment, an attendant walked over quickly. When he saw Louis XIII on the ground, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He said seriously, ¡°Our KTV has a rule that if you damage something, you have to compensate according to the price. ¡°This bottle of Louis XIII is 28,888 yuan¡­ Please pay up.¡± As he spoke, he waved his hand in the distance, and two attendants came over. Obviously, they were worried that these people would refuse to compensate or even cause trouble. ¡°This is fake. Do you think we don¡¯t know?¡± 28,888 yuan? Do you think we¡¯re stupid?¡± The man said, ¡°It¡¯s good enough we¡¯re not suing you for fraud. You still want us to compensate you?¡± ¡°Fake?¡± The attendant said coldly, ¡°Who says this is fake? We have a detailed list of all the alcohol we¡¯ve purchased.¡± Then, he took out a stack of invoices. Seeing this¡­ The faces of the man and woman stiffened. The bottle of Louis XIII was real? Would they not have to pay 28,888 yuan, then? However, the young woman still straightened her neck and said, ¡°Who knows if the invoice is fake or not?¡± ¡°You can take the bottle and the liquor to have them tested! But now, you must compensate us according to the price,¡± the attendant said seriously. At this moment, Lin Fan and the others happened to pass by the entrance of the supermarket. ¡°Then why didn¡¯t they have to pay after they broke a bottle?¡± the young woman asked. Manager Xu Song had already told the attendant that Lin Fan was the new boss of Brilliance KTV. Hence, the waiter sneered in his heart. ¡®How can you compare to Mr. Lin? Even if Mr. Lin were to tear down the entire Brilliance KTV, there would be no problem.¡¯ Lin Xiaoyao, the short-haired girl, the girl with ponytails, Zuo Jun, and the others also saw what was happening in the supermarket. They all looked puzzled. What was going on? Was the Louis XIII in the supermarket not fake? ¡°Please compensate us according to the price!¡± the attendant continued to speak to the young woman. As they spoke, several attendants took two steps forward and surrounded the young woman and the man. ¡­ Lin Xiaoyao and the others looked at the situation in the supermarket with some confusion before continuing to walk forward. When they arrived, Manager Xu Song and several attendants were already standing on both sides of the hall like tree stumps. They bowed and said in an extremely respectful tone, ¡°Please come again next time.¡± Lin Xiaoyao, the short-haired girl, and the girl with ponytails had never been treated like this before. ¡°As expected of the best KTV in Qing City! The service is really good.¡± Zuo Jun went to the service desk and prepared to pay. However, the cashier said, ¡°Due to the disturbance caused to your companion during your time here, your expenses are all covered.¡± Just like that¡­ Everyone slowly walked out of the KTV with their heads full of confusion. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s strange? We didn¡¯t have to pay after breaking the Louis XIII, but that woman has to pay 28,888 yuan after breaking it,¡± Lin Xiaoyao said. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°What¡¯s so strange about that? Have you ever heard of someone breaking something in their own house and still needing to compensate?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Xiaoyao was even more confused. ¡°Brilliance KTV is my shop,¡± said Lin Fan with a smile. Silence! The entire scene suddenly fell silent! Lin Xiaoyao, the short-haired girl, the girl with ponytails, and the others all stared at Lin Fan in shock. ¡°Brother¡­ You mean¡­¡± Lin Xiaoyao stuttered. ¡°I bought Brilliance KTV a while ago,¡± Lin Fan said. At this moment¡­ Everyone finally understood why not only did the short-haired girl not have to compensate for breaking Louis XIII, but the manager also had to give them a lot of delicious food. Why did the manager and attendants line up to send them off when they left? In the end, when Zuo Jun wanted to pay the bill, the cashier said it was free! ¡°My family has a KTV!¡± Lin Xiaoyao exclaimed excitedly. ¡°Brother, I love you so much!¡± Lin Fan said seriously, ¡°We¡¯re siblings!¡± Since Lin Xiaoyao and the others still had classes the next day, Lin Fan parted ways with them when they reached a crossroad. ¡­ The next day. After Lin Fan woke up, he looked at his phone. A message had appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 3,670,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Lin Fan lay on the bed and played with his phone for a while. ¡°Let¡¯s complete today¡¯s sign-in first,¡± Lin Fan muttered. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations on signing in successfully. You¡¯ve received ten million yuan.] ¡°My luck is bad today.¡± Lin Fan sighed helplessly. Then, he slowly got up and washed up. At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket rang. He looked at the caller ID and realized that it was a call from the Mercedes-Benz shop. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. Both your cars¡¯ license plates and insurance have been completed. May I know where to send the cars?¡± The sweet voice of the female salesperson came from the phone. ¡°Do you know Fourth Street?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°In South Side?¡± the saleswoman asked. ¡°That¡¯s right. Just drive the two cars to Ordinary Clothing Store on Fourth Street,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright,¡± the saleswoman said. After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan first ate breakfast nearby before walking toward Ordinary Clothing Store. ¡°Tsk!¡± At this moment, two brand-new GLCs with big red flowers had already arrived at the entrance of the clothing store. Many of the surrounding merchants started discussing after seeing this. ¡°Two Benz!¡± ¡°And they¡¯re new!¡± ¡°Old Lin has a big client!¡± Lin Tao, who was tidying up his clothes in the shop, could not help but poke his head out with a look of anticipation on his face. At this moment, two saleswomen in business attire walked out of the GLCs. However, they had no intention of going into Ordinary Clothing Store to buy clothes. Instead, they stood quietly at the door as if they were waiting for someone. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Lin Tao asked. The oval-faced saleswoman thought that Lin Tao felt that the cars were affecting his business, so she quickly explained, ¡°We¡¯re waiting for someone. We¡¯ll drive the cars away later.¡± ¡°You guys are here?¡± Lin Fan walked over from afar and said. ¡°Mr. Lin!¡± The oval-faced saleswoman said happily, ¡°You can check the appearance and configuration. If there¡¯s no problem, you can sign your name here.¡± Lin Fan took a casual glance at the cars, then picked up a pen and paper to quickly sign his name. After all, they were just two cheap cars worth 500,000 yuan. ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not hard. This is what we should do,¡± the saleswoman said. Standing at the side, Lin Tao, who had not spoken for a long time, could not help but ask, ¡°Son, this is¡­¡± ¡°Oh, I bought a car when I passed by a shop two days ago. Then, I bought one for you too,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°You bought one for me too?¡± Lin Tao could not help but widen his eyes. Then, he slowly walked to the side of the Mercedes-Benz GLC and gently stroked it. Chapter 219 - Chapter 219: Sending Blessings; Happy New Year! Chapter 219: Sending Blessings; Happy New Year! Translator: Endless Fantasy Translation Editor: Endless Fantasy Translation After lunch, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. 12 pm! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,999 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 20,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Zhenghua Building.] Today, Lin Fan received a total of 45,834 yuan and a building. ¡°Zhenghua Building? It seems to be one of the few office buildings in Qing City, right? A skyscraper should be worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions, right? Today¡¯s red packet is barely okay.¡± At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and realized that it was Huang De. ¡°Lin Fan, thank you.¡± As soon as the call connected, Huang De¡¯s extremely sincere voice came from the phone. Originally, Huang De might have had to work at the bottom level of the Hushui Street Office for the rest of his life. He might even be forced to separate from his girlfriend, Wang Xi. However, because of Lin Fan¡­ everything changed drastically. Lin Fan said, ¡°That¡¯s just a small matter. Don¡¯t worry about it. By the way, how are you and Wang Xi?¡± ¡°Her father has already agreed to us being in a relationship. If nothing goes wrong, Wang Xi and I will probably get married next year. When that time comes, Lin Fan, you must come if you have the time.¡± Huang De said. ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Fan replied. The two of them chatted for a while before hanging up. For a while, Lin Fan¡¯s life was very dull. He ate, played with his phone, strolled, and slept¡­ Although it was dull, it was also very relaxed and comfortable. When Lin Xiaoyao returned home for the holidays, the family returned to their hometown, Shanwu Village. At the same time, the sound of firecrackers gradually rang out. Lin Fan and his grandparents sat around the big round table, eating hot dumplings. They were happy. It was the first day of the new year. There was an unwritten rule in Shanwu Village. The first thing in the morning, the villagers would write down blessings and bring them to the family with the highest status in the village and wish the other party a happy new year. It was not that the villagers were fawning over the powerful but that they wanted to take advantage of the festive New Year to bask in the other party¡¯s good fortune. The families who received the blessings would prepare black tea for the villagers, symbolizing that everyone would be prosperous in the new year. When Lin Fan¡¯s grandfather, Lin Liqiang, opened the door, a large group of villagers were waiting at the door with their blessings. Moreover, they all began to give their blessings. ¡°Happy New Year!¡± ¡°Old Master Lin, Happy New Year!¡± ¡°Old Master Lin, we¡¯re here to give you our blessings!¡± Seeing this¡­ Lin Liqiang said happily, ¡°Thank you, thank you, everyone. Quick, please come in! ¡°Lin Tao, Weixue, hurry up and get the stools and pour some black tea!¡± When Lin Tao and Dai Weixue heard his voice, they quickly walked out. When they saw so many villagers, they were also shocked. Then, they quickly moved the stools and poured black tea. However, they had only moved a few stools and poured a few cups of black tea when a hearty voice sounded from outside. ¡°Old Master Lin, we¡¯re here to bring you blessings!¡± ¡°Old Master Lin, happy new year!¡± Following that, another large group of villagers walked in with their blessings. Lin Liqiang said happily again, ¡°Hahaha! Thank you, thank you, everyone! Happy New Year!¡± ¡°Lin Tao, Weixue, hurry up and get some chairs for the uncles and pour them tea!¡± When Lin Tao and Dai Weixue saw that so many people had arrived, they were completely overwhelmed. In addition, there were not enough stools and boiling water at home. ¡°Lil Fan, Lil Yao,¡± they shouted into their rooms. ¡°Go find the uncles next door and get some stools. Get some hot water too.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Fan and Lin Xiaoyao replied in unison. When they came back with stools and boiling water, another group of people walked in with blessings. ¡°Lil Fan, Lil Yao,¡± Lin Tao called out. ¡°Hurry up and ask our guests to sit down. Then, come and pour them some black tea!¡± Instantly, the whole family was extremely busy. The entire courtyard was soon filled with people. Everyone was holding a cup of hot black tea in their hands and chatting with each other. It was extremely lively. Lin Liqiang looked at the pile of blessings on the table and the dense crowd in the courtyard. He listened to the blessings that sounded from time to time in his ears. A smile lit up his wrinkled, old face. Almost every family in the village had sent their family members to come and send him their blessings and celebrate the new year with his family. This was something that had never happened before! At this moment, a BMW 740LI drove over from afar. Zhou Chengjun, the general manager of Yinshan Mall, brought a lot of gifts and cupped his hands from afar. ¡°Old Master Lin, Old Master Lin, Happy New Year!¡± The last time Lin Liqiang celebrated his birthday, many villagers had seen Zhou Chengjun and knew that he was the manager of Qing City¡¯s Yinshan Mall. At this moment, after seeing him again, the villagers began to discuss enthusiastically. ¡°The Lin family is amazing! Manager Zhou, you¡¯re here so early to pay your New Year¡¯s greetings.¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s really enviable!¡± ¡°If there¡¯s a big shot like Manager Zhou who comes to visit me one day, that¡¯ll be great!¡± ¡°That¡¯s very simple. Just head off to dreamland!¡± ¡°You bastard!¡± While the villagers were discussing, a large number of Audis drove over in an orderly manner from afar like a long dragon. When some villagers saw these cars, they could not help but shout in surprise. ¡°Look! So many Audis! The main point is that their license plates are K00001, K00002, K00003¡­¡± ¡°Oh my God!¡± ¡°Could it be that the leaders of Qing City¡­¡± As if to verify everyone¡¯s guess, the leaders of Qing City, including the captain of the Finance Department, the captain of the Investigation Department, and the captain of the Commerce Department, walked over. A large group of big shots who often appeared in the news of Qing City walked over with boxes of Qing City¡¯s specialties. When they walked in front of Lin Liqiang, Lin Tao, Lin Fan, and the rest, they cupped their hands together and bowed, ¡°I wish Old Master Lin a happy new year!¡± The leaders of Qing City came to visit him early in the morning on the first day of the new year. What kind of honor was this? Lin Liqiang¡¯s entire old face was already filled with a smile as he said excitedly, ¡°Leaders, this can¡¯t be done. This can¡¯t be done!¡± As he spoke, he went forward to help Zhao Jiaqi. ¡°Old Master Lin, please accept it!¡± Zhao Jiaqi laughed. ¡°You probably don¡¯t know yet, right? Brother Lin Fan has invested in multiple projects in Qing City, including an international logistics airport, a hotel, a library, a medicinal herb base, and a storage center¡­ It has brought us more than 50 billion yuan of investments! ¡°This will create tens of thousands of jobs for Qing City!¡± In fact, this was also the reason why Zhao Jiaqi had brought the leaders of Qing City to visit Lin Fan¡¯s family early in the morning. Otherwise, even if he wanted to deepen his relationship with Lin Fan, he would not be able to find a good reason.. Chapter 220 - Chapter 220: New Year; Back to School! Chapter 220: New Year; Back to School! Translator: Endless Fantasy Translation Editor: Endless Fantasy Translation When the surrounding villagers heard Zhao Jiaqi¡¯s words, their mouths were wide open, and their faces were filled with horror. An international logistics airport, a hotel, a library, a medicinal herb base, a storage center¡­ A total investment of more than 50 billion! 50 billion? How much money was that? In the eyes of the villagers, five million was already a lot. 50 billion was completely beyond their imagination! Lin Tao and Dai Weixue looked at Lin Fan in shock. Although they already knew that their son was amazing, the logistics airport and the 50 billion still surprised them. Lin Liqiang was the first to react. He laughed heartily and said, ¡°Leaders, please take a seat and have some black tea! The place is rather simple, please don¡¯t mind it.¡¯ 11 ¡°Old Master Lin, you¡¯re too polite.¡± Zhao Jiaqi smiled. ¡°You might not know, but my hometown is in the mountains of Yan City. Compared to my hometown, your place is already considered a wealthy family¡¯s compound!¡± ¡°Is that so? Hahaha!¡± Lin Liqiang was even happier. It had to be said that Zhao Jiaqi was indeed the leader of Qing City. With just a few words, the atmosphere at the scene became even more lively and enthusiastic. About an hour later, the villagers and the leaders of Qing City slowly left the Lin family. Lin Liqiang carefully moved the written blessings and the Qing City¡¯s specialties into the house like precious treasures. Lin Tao asked, ¡°Lin Fan, the leader just said that you invested 50 billion in the logistics airport and hotel in Qing City?¡± Lin Fan replied, ¡°Yeah. Dad, didn¡¯t you ask me to invest in Qing City when the conditions allow?¡± Lin Tao could not help but freeze. Yes. He had said this before. ¡®But isn¡¯t your investment a little too much?¡¯ 50 billion? Lin Fan seemed to have noticed the change in his father¡¯s expression. He smiled and said, ¡°Dad, don¡¯t worry. These investments are nothing to me.¡± Lin Fan was definitely not bragging. One had to know¡­ Lin Fan had 5% shares of Penguin and 5% shares of Little Tanuki, which amounted to 500 billion yuan. In addition to his shares in LV and Gucci, the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex, and the Global Financial Building¡­ Now, his total net worth was already approaching trillions. 50 billion was indeed nothing in front of trillions. This year¡¯s New Year celebration was the most lively year for the Lin family in Shanwu Village. Almost every day, people came to congratulate them. Countless gifts were piled up in the Lin family¡¯s house. The smile on Lin Liqiang¡¯s face almost never faded. This situation continued until the 15th day of the first month. The family gathered around the table and ate the glutinous rice balls. Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was from the dean of the Mathematics Department of Jiangbei University, Hu Chuan. ¡°Dean Hu, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Lin Fan asked curiously. ¡°It¡¯s about time for school to start, no? Your home is so far away from Jiangbei. It¡¯s not safe for you to travel alone¡­ Therefore, we teachers are here to pick you up and fetch you to school,¡± Hu Chuan said. Was Qing City far from Jiangbei? It was less than 100 kilometers. How could Lin Fan not understand what the dean was thinking? He was worried that he would not return to Jiangbei University. Lin Fan smiled, ¡°Director Hu, there¡¯s no need. I¡¯ll go over myself later.¡± ¡°We have to be responsible for the safety of the students.¡± Hu Chuan said, ¡°Besides, we¡¯ve already reached Fourth Street of Qing City. But you don¡¯t seem to be home?¡± Lin Fan was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Dean Hu and the others had already arrived in Qing City. ¡°I¡¯m spending the new year with my grandparents in Shanwu Village,¡± he said after a while. ¡°Shanwu Village? Alright, we¡¯ll be right there,¡± Hu Chuan said. Not long after, a luxurious bus stopped in front of the Lin family¡¯s house. Then, Hu Chuan and a large group of professors walked in with gifts. ¡°You should be Lin Fan¡¯s grandfather, right? Old Master Lin, happy new year.¡± When they saw Lin Liqiang, they cupped their hands and congratulated him. ¡°Thank you, thank you!¡± Lin Liqiang said happily. Then, he asked, ¡°Oh right, you are¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m Hu Chuan, the dean of the Mathematics Department of Jiangbei University. I¡¯m here to celebrate the New Year with you and also to pick Lin Fan up. It¡¯s too dangerous for him to go back alone considering the long distance.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Ma Zhicheng, the head of the grade of the Mathematics Department of Jiangbei University¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m Qin Jia, the dean of mathematics at Jiangbei University¡­¡± Lin Liqiang listened to everyone¡¯s self-introduction, and his pair of turbid eyes became bright. During this period of time, there were indeed many big shots who came to visit him. However, there had never been people like Hu Chuan and Ma Zhicheng who had the status of dean and head of the grade. These were all great professors and scholars! Lin Liqiang liked cultured people the most. Now¡­ they had all come to pay their respects! Lin Liqiang said excitedly, ¡°Everyone, please come in. Come in and sit!¡± ¡°Lin Tao!¡± he shouted. ¡°Lil Fan, Lin Tao! Come out and greet the guests!¡± Lin Tao had already met Hu Chuan and the others before the new year. Therefore, after seeing them again, he was not too unfamiliar with them. He said happily, ¡°Dean Hu and all the professors, please sit down.¡± Everyone sat together, drinking tea and chatting. The atmosphere was very relaxed. Lin Fan said, ¡°Dean, you guys really didn¡¯t have to pick me up. I was planning to drive to school later.¡± ¡°How tiring is driving? It¡¯s also dangerous. Later, you can rest on the bus. Director Ma, you can help Lin Fan drive his car,¡± Hu Chuan said. ¡°Alright,¡± Ma Zhicheng replied. Lin Liqiang and Lin Tao watched as Lin Fan, Hu Chuan, and the others boarded the luxury bus and headed toward Jiangbei University. At this moment, a villager walked over and asked, ¡°Old Master Lin, did you have more guests just now?¡± These days, every time a wave of guests came to Lin Liqiang¡¯s house, there would be villagers coming to talk to them. This was also when Lin Liqiang was the happiest. ¡°Yeah!¡± Lin Liqiang said proudly. ¡°The dean and professors of Jiangbei University came to visit us just now. They came to pick up Lil Fan.¡± When the villagers heard this, their faces immediately revealed a strong sense of envy. The dean and the professors personally came to pay a New Year¡¯s visit and pick Lin Fan up to go back to school¡­ How glorious was this? Lin Liqiang was very satisfied with the villagers¡¯ reaction. At the same time, in the Central Hospital in Qing City. After these few days of treatment, Li Yong recovered a lot. He could even get out of bed alone. He opened the drawer and saw the small bottle of Medical Water. He could not help but ask, ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Yang Wei looked over and said, ¡°Ah! Your former student, Lin Fan, brought this over before the New Year. He said that after you get better, you can drink it¡­ I forgot about it!¡± Li Yong¡¯s face was filled with gratitude when Lin Fan was mentioned. If it was not for Lin Fan, his illness would not have recovered so quickly and he would not have been able to stay in the VIP ward. Li Yong did not care what medicine it was. As long as it was given by Lin Fan, there was absolutely no problem. He poured it into his mouth. Gulp! A moment later¡­ The place where Li Yong had undergone surgery began to itch and burn¡­ Sleepiness also gradually came. When he woke up, he realized that all the surgical wounds on his body had disappeared. A sense of relief that he had never felt before surged into his heart. Feeling this¡­ Li Yong was stunned, his face filled with disbelief.. Chapter 221 - Chapter 221: Class; Roll Call! Chapter 221: Class; Roll Call! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: Endless Fantasy Translation As the New Year holidays had just ended, the road was filled with dense vehicles and was very congested. The luxury bus took nearly three hours to arrive at Jiangbei University. Originally, Hu Chuan and the others wanted to invite Lin Fan to have a meal together. However, Lin Fan rejected it without hesitation. After all, how could eating with a group of men be more interesting than eating with beautiful women? Lin Fan drove the Lamborghini to Yi Ke City. Creak! When the door opened, Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s sight. Although the temperature outside was close to zero and everyone was wearing thick down jackets, the temperature in the house with floor heating was as high as 20 degrees. Therefore, Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling were only wearing thin V-neck long robes. Obviously, during the New Year, the two of them had taken good care of themselves. Their already pretty faces had become even fairer and more translucent, and their figures started to develop from¡­ to¡­ Seeing this¡­ Even Lin Fan could not help but be stunned. He could not help but gulp. Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling were being stared at by Lin Fan. Perhaps it was because the floor heating was too hot, but their pretty faces were flushed. o( ? ? ?¦Å ? ? ?*) (* ? ? ? ?3)(* ? ? ?3)(¦Å ? ? ?*) Today, the residential building shook left and right, and it did not stop for the entire night. Fortunately, this building belonged to Lin Fan. Otherwise, many people would not be able to sleep. The next morning. A gentle breeze blew past, and a leaf hanging on the treetop fell down. Lin Fan opened his eyes as well. At this moment, he was the only one lying on the soft bed. Lin Fan picked up his phone out of habit. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 3,650,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, he scrolled through his phone for a while before turning his attention to the sign-in system. Lin Fan muttered to himself, ¡°I got ten million yuan every day in Qing City. Today is my first time signing in Jiangbei this year. I hope I can get something useful. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 51% of Xia Airlines¡¯ shares.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. One had to know¡­ Xia Airlines was the largest private airline in Hua Nation. It had nearly 100 large passenger planes, and its market value had reached more than 40 billion yuan. 51% of the shares? In other words, he had obtained more than 20 billion? Today¡¯s sign-in reward was indeed not bad! Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up as he crawled up. At this moment, Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian were serving the delicacies at the dining table. When they saw Lin Fan, their faces that were blushing from making breakfast became even redder. Lin Fan picked up a fried dumpling and praised, ¡°It¡¯s really delicious!¡± When the two of them heard this, they revealed a knowing smile. After breakfast, Lin Fan did not stay in Yi Ke City for long. After all, it was the first day of school and it was not good to be late. He drove the Lamborghini while facing the warm sunlight on the slightly crowded road. Soon, Lin Fan arrived at Jiangbei University. Perhaps it was because they had not been to school for a while, but the students walking on campus were all smiling. Lin Fan had just walked into the classroom when Song Yi, who was sitting at the back, waved at him and said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, over here!¡± Lin Fan replied and sat down. At this time, the three roommates were discussing the New Year holidays. ¡°Sigh, I feel like the New Year is getting less and less festive now. It¡¯s so boring.¡± Song Yi sighed. ¡°Exactly! It¡¯s even worse than school. I play with my phone in school every day, sleep, and watch live broadcasts when I return to the dormitory. It¡¯s simply too awesome.¡± Zheng Jinbao added, ¡°At home, I can only sleep every day. If I sleep for too long, my parents will call me.¡± Ma Zhong rubbed his head and said, ¡°I read books at home every day¡­ I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything different.¡± After a pause, he continued, ¡°However, it¡¯s indeed better in school¡­ I can access the knowledge web here and teachers give lectures.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you only like to read?¡± Song Yi asked. Zheng Jinbao said,¡± What nonsense are you talking about? Ma Zhong has many hobbies¡­ For example, the clubhouse we¡¯re going to tonight?¡± Ma Zhong could not help but squirm as he asked, ¡°Are we going tonight?¡± ¡°Hahaha!¡± The two of them looked at his embarrassed expression and laughed out loud. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, how was your holiday?¡± Song Yi asked. ¡°It was a little tiring,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Tiring?¡± The three of them were puzzled. Their holidays were either dull or boring¡­ What could be so tiring? Lin Fan said, ¡°Yeah, the CEOs of various companies and leaders of the city came to visit every day. I had to help greet them and pour tea for them every day. It was so tiring¡­¡± Silence. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, do you think I could be your servant?¡± Song Yi begged. ¡°I beg you to let me be your servant!¡± Zheng Jinbao and Ma Zhong bent over exaggeratedly as though they wanted to hug Lin Fan and not let go. Lin Fan looked at their funny faces and could not help but laugh. At this moment, the bell rang in Jiangbei University. Counselor Sun Yaodong walked in with a smile on his face. He first glanced at the students in the class. When he saw Lin Fan, the smile on his face widened. ¡°Students, I haven¡¯t seen you for a month. Did you miss me?¡± ¡°No!¡± The students laughed and shouted. Sun Yaodong¡¯s ears seemed to have their own filter, which directly filtered out their response. ¡°I missed you guys too!¡± he said with a smile. ¡°We didn¡¯t miss you!¡± The students stuck out their tongues and laughed even louder. It had to be said that Sun Yaodong was a very good counselor. He did not have a trace of stiffness and easily became friends with the students. The atmosphere in the classroom was relaxed and lively. Sun Yaodong continued, ¡°The New Year is over. Now, everyone should forget about dumplings, cured meat, cured fish, chicken drumsticks, and firecrackers at home. And blind dates too.¡± ¡°Hahaha!¡± The students in front did not say anything, but after the counselor finished speaking, the classroom burst into laughter. Sun Yaodong cleared his throat and said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s take a roll call now.¡± Then, he picked up the name list and said, ¡°Lin Fan.¡± ¡°Here!¡± ¡°Song Jiaxin!¡± ¡°Here!¡± Loud and clear answers rang out in the classroom. Sun Yaodong held a ballpoint pen and kept ticking. A few minutes later, the roll call ended. ¡°Everyone is here except Pan Chen.¡± Sun Yaodong said with satisfaction, ¡°Oh right, Pan Chen has chosen to take a break from school for some special reasons. ¡°So, strictly speaking, all the students in our class are here today.¡± As soon as he said this, the entire class burst into enthusiastic cheers. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°Haha!¡± Chapter 222 - Chapter 222 Class Monitor; New Year Outing! Chapter 222 Class Monitor; New Year Outing! Before the New Year holiday, Pan Chen, as the class monitor, brought his classmates to Xinglong Resort Hotel for a gathering. All the students did not have any good feelings toward him. In fact, it could even be said that they hated him very much. In the classroom, the students directly isolated him in a corner. In the dormitory, no one was willing to talk to him. When the rich second-generation heir that Pan Chen tried so hard to please went bankrupt, the students cheered enthusiastically. They shouted, ¡°God has eyes!¡± Now, the students had learned from the counselor that Pan Chen had dropped out of school. This was definitely good news for them, and they all cheered loudly. Sun Yaodong thought that it was because they had finally finished the boring roll call that the students cheered. Therefore, he did not pay too much attention to it. He cleared his throat and said, ¡°A country can¡¯t live without a ruler. ¡°Pan Chen used to be our class monitor. Now that he¡¯s taking a break from school, we have to choose a new class monitor.¡± Sun Yaodong said in a serious manner. If one did not know, one would probably think that Sun Yaodong was talking about selecting an important leader. Sun Yaodong glanced around the class and asked, ¡°Does anyone have any recommendations?¡± ¡°Lin Fan!¡± ¡°I recommend Lin Fan!¡± ¡°Brother Lin Fan!¡± Almost the moment Sun Yaodong finished speaking, the class immediately sounded with the loud voices of the students. Sun Yaodong was also very satisfied with this candidate. ¡°Alright.¡± He nodded and said, ¡°Then our new class monitor will be Lin Fan.¡± Li Fan was stunned. What was going on? ¡®I sleep in class every day and often skip classes¡­Class monitor? ¡®Are you sure that¡¯s suitable?¡¯ Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Jinbao seemed to have seen through Lin Fan¡¯s doubts and cupped their hands in congratulations. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, congratulations on becoming the class monitor!¡± Ma Zhong said. ¡°Originally, I wanted to cling to you after graduation. Now, it seems that I have to start from now.¡± As Song Yi spoke, he looked like he was about to bend over and hug Lin Fan¡¯s legs. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, please help me!¡± Zheng Jinbao shouted. He also bent down and hugged Lin Fan¡¯s legs. Lin Fan looked at their funny faces and could not help but want to laugh. At this time, Sun Yaodong said, ¡°The New Year holiday was a month long. I know that some of you haven¡¯t had enough fun, and some of you have a lot to talk about¡­ ¡°So, let¡¯s organize a New Year outing so that you can have fun again and chat for two days. How about that?¡± ¡°Alright!¡± the students immediately shouted. ¡°Agreed!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°Then, let¡¯s leave this matter to our new class monitor, Lin Fan, to organize.¡± Sun Yaodong smiled and nodded. The first lesson of the semester did not require any explanation. The main thing was to bring the students out to celebrate the New Year. After class, many students came to Lin Fan¡¯s side. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, congratulations on becoming the class monitor.¡± ¡°Where are we going for the outing?¡± ¡°What about Mo Lake?¡± ¡°Bird Mountain is not bad either!¡± Many people voiced their suggestions. Due to the short break between classes, the bell rang before they could come to a conclusion. This was the old professor¡¯s class. He was not as humorous as the counselor. He only casually chatted about the New Year before picking up the textbook and lecturing the new curriculum. Yesterday, Lin Fan did not sleep for the entire night and was already a little sleepy. After listening to the old professor¡¯s hypnotic lecture, his head swayed and he finally fell asleep on the table. When the old professor saw it, he could not help but praise in his heart, ¡®As expected of Lin Fan. Even though school has just started, he¡¯s already been studying all night! Geniuses are indeed forged with 99% hard work!¡¯ Lin Fan naturally did not know what the old professor was thinking. When he opened his eyes again, the school bell had already rung. Then, he walked toward the cafeteria with Song Yi and the others. Lin Fan looked at the long line of people and did not feel impatient at all. On the contrary, he was enjoying it. At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated slightly. It was 12 pm! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 19,99 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 166 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 28,888 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 66 yuan.] Today, he earned a total of 41,211 yuan. Lin Fan could not help but sigh out in his heart, ¡°My luck today is still not that good.¡± After opening the red packets, he realized that there were unread messages on WeChat. Su Ningjing: [The coffee beans you planted last time have already blossomed. They¡¯re so beautiful! [Flower.jpg, flower.jpg¡­] Looking at the snow-white flowers, Lin Fan could not help but be stunned. At this moment, his phone rang. Lin Fan looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown number. ¡°Is this Mr. Lin?¡± A respectful voice came from the phone. Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s me. You are?¡± ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. I¡¯m Zhao Yiping, the chairman of Xia Airlines¡­¡± The voice on the phone became more respectful. Lin Fan was not too surprised by Zhao Yiping¡¯s call. ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s Chairman Zhao. Hello. Why are you calling?¡± ¡°Mr. Lin, it¡¯s like this¡­ Our Xia Airlines is planning to hold a staff meeting. I wonder if you have time to host it? It¡¯ll also point out the direction for the future of our country¡¯s aviation industry¡­¡± Zhao Yi Ping asked carefully. Lin Fan said, ¡°I won¡¯t be hosting it. I don¡¯t know much about the industry either. I¡¯ll just take the dividends.¡± Today, Zhao Yiping suddenly found out that 51% of his company¡¯s shares had been bought by someone. He was worried and restless. This was the company he founded single-handedly. He did not know what kind of person the other party was. Would he command Xia Airlines indiscriminately and cause Xia Airlines to gradually decline? At this moment, Zhao Yiping heard Lin Fan¡¯s reply and was extremely happy. However, he suppressed the joy in his heart and persuaded Lin Fan a little more before hanging up. Song Yi saw Lin Fan hang up and said, ¡°Brother Fan, where do you think we should go for the outing?¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s best to drag everyone to the clubhouse again! Ma Zhong, don¡¯t you agree?¡± Zheng Jinbao said. Ma Zhong could not help but squirm as he said, ¡°That¡­ That¡¯s not a good idea, right? Counselor Sun will be going with us.¡± New Year outing? Lin Fan looked at his phone¡¯s WeChat again. He was looking at the messages from Su Ningjing. His eyes moved slightly, and he smiled. ¡°I¡¯ve already decided on the place for the New Year outing.¡± ¡°Where?¡± Song Yi asked. ¡°Is it a clubhouse?¡± Zheng Jinbao asked. Ma Zhong squirmed again. Chapter 223 - Chapter 223 Meeting at the Airport; Chance Encounter! Chapter 223 Meeting at the Airport; Chance Encounter! Saturday was supposed to be the day when students slept until they woke up naturally. However, at dawn today, a large group of students carried their bags and walked out of the school gate. They did not feel reluctant to wake up so early. On the contrary¡­ everyone¡¯s faces were filled with excitement. It was because today was the day they were going on a trip. Moreover, they were going to the beautiful Southern Province¡¯s Li City. At this moment, a luxurious bus stopped steadily in front of the students. ¡°Lin Fan drove to the airport himself. I¡¯ll call the names first,¡± Song Yi said as he held the name list. ¡°Ma Zhong!¡± ¡°Here!¡± ¡°Zheng Jinbao!¡± ¡°Here!¡± Song Yi checked every name he read. Sun Yaodong was not participating in the New Year outing. In that case, Lin Fan should be the one taking attendance. However, Lin Fan had gone to Yi Ke City last night. Therefore, Song Yi did it for him. After a while, the roll call was done. ¡°Are Gong Zhentian and Chen Lijian here?¡± Song Yi asked. Soon, someone answered. ¡°Gong Zhentian went home. He said he¡¯ll go to the airport today.¡± ¡°Chen Lijian went on a date with his girlfriend yesterday. He also said that he¡¯ll go to the airport alone today.¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s get in the car!¡± Song Yi said. Instantly, everyone was extremely excited as they filed into the luxury bus. After sitting down, the students started chattering excitedly again. As it was Saturday morning, the road was very empty. In just half an hour, the luxury bus arrived at the airport. At this moment, Lin Fan drove the Pagani Huayra to the parking lot. When he saw his classmates, he smiled and greeted them, ¡°Good morning, everyone! Are you all here?¡± ¡°Gong Zhentian and Chen Lijian will be coming over later,¡± Song Yi said. Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go inside and rest.¡± Then, Lin Fan brought everyone to the VIP lounge. Everyone present¡­ Other than Song Jiaxin and a few others, most people had never been to the VIP lounge. Some of them had never even taken a plane before. At this moment, they looked at the high-end decorations in the VIP lounge and were amazed. Lin Fan said, ¡°You guys haven¡¯t eaten breakfast, right? You can eat whatever you want here.¡± In fact, some people had already noticed the exquisite food and high-end drinks in the VIP lounge¡­ They swallowed their saliva silently. At this moment, after hearing Lin Fan¡¯s words, they could not sit still anymore. They picked up the trays and picked up some delicacies. Everyone stuffed their mouths, feeling extremely satisfied. ¡°It¡¯s so delicious!¡± ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve eaten such a delicious buffet!¡± ¡°Me too!¡± Amidst a wave of praise, their stomachs also began to round. ¡°Why aren¡¯t Gong Zhentian and Chen Lijian here yet? Isn¡¯t the flight at 9:30? It¡¯s almost time!¡± ¡°Yes, it is.¡± ¡°Call them to urge them. Otherwise, our class trip won¡¯t be complete.¡± Someone took out their phone and made a call. After Gong Zhentian picked up the call, he said that he had already arrived at the airport and would be coming over immediately. Sure enough, Gong Zhentian also arrived at the VIP lounge after a while. However, Chen Lijian did not pick up his phone. All the students saw that it was getting closer and closer to 9:30, and they could not help but feel a little anxious. Lin Fan said casually, ¡°It¡¯s fine. Just let the airplane wait.¡± ¡°Will the plane wait for us?¡± a student asked curiously. ¡°Probably? After all, there are so many of us,¡± the classmate beside him said. ¡°I At this moment, a few men wearing sunglasses and a woman wearing a hat walked into the VIP lounge. Among them, a relatively thin man said, ¡°Are you all students who are going on a trip together? Let me tell you something. The plane won¡¯t be delayed because of one person or a group of people. ¡°So, quickly have that student take another flight. You guys should hurry up and board the plane. Don¡¯t waste so many plane tickets at once.¡¯ Obviously, he had heard the conversation between the students. That was why he reminded them out of kindness. He used to be a student, so he knew very well how rare it was to gather so many students to play together. The students must be in a good mood. If they wasted all the plane tickets, everyone¡¯s mood would immediately become very bad. In fact, this trip might not even be able to continue. At this moment, a student suddenly shouted in surprise, ¡°You¡¯re¡­ Mr. He?¡± Seeing that he had been recognized, Mr. He did not continue to hide and slowly took off his sunglasses. ¡°Ah! It¡¯s really Mr. He!¡± ¡°Mr. He, I like Yearning for Life the most!¡± Then, another student looked at the middle-aged man beside Mr. He. ¡°You¡¯re¡­ Mr. Huang?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Mr. Huang took off his sunglasses. ¡°Heavens!¡± the student immediately shouted. ¡°Are you Mrs. Feng?¡± Some students looked at the thinner woman. ¡°Yes.¡± Mrs. Feng took off her hat. ¡°In that case, you¡¯re Mr. Chang?¡± Some students looked at the man in sunglasses. ¡°Yes.¡± Mr. Chang also took off his sunglasses. Instantly, the entire VIP lounge was filled with passionate screams. ¡°Ah! I¡¯m really lucky today!¡± ¡°Please give me an autograph, Mr. He.¡± ¡°Mr. Huang, can I take a photo with you?¡± ¡°Mrs. Feng, please give me your autograph!¡± ¡°Mr. Chang, autograph please!¡± The students surrounded Mr. He and the others. Mr. He and the others were very amiable. Otherwise, they would not be so popular. As long as it was not too much, they would agree to all of the students¡¯ requests. At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from outside. Then, Chen Lijian ran over with sweat all over his head and said, ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m late.¡± When the students saw him, they recovered from their excitement of meeting Mr. He and the others. A few students hurriedly took out their phones and said anxiously, ¡°This is bad! It¡¯s already 9:40! The plane has probably left!¡± ¡°What? Then what should we do?¡± ¡°We can¡¯t go to Li City anymore?¡± The students were so excited when they left the school, but at this moment, they were extremely disappointed. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The plane hasn¡¯t left yet. It¡¯s waiting for us!¡± ¡°Student, the plane won¡¯t wait for you. Since the plane has just left, go to the counter and see if you can change your flight,¡± Mr. He reminded. At this moment, two flight attendants walked over. Among them, the slightly taller flight attendant said in a sweet voice, ¡°Mr. Lin, are all your classmates here?¡± Chapter 224 - Chapter 224 Book a Plane; Arrive! Chapter 224 Book a Plane; Arrive! The flight attendant¡¯s words immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention. This¡­ What was going on? Was the plane really waiting for them? Lin Fan¡¯s expression remained the same. He nodded and said, ¡°Yes, everyone is here.¡± ¡°Then do you need to rest for a while, or do you want to board now?¡± The flight attendant smiled. ¡°Let¡¯s board the plane now,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright, this way please.¡± The flight attendant bent down slightly and made a gesture of invitation. Lin Fan nodded and turned to his classmates, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s board the plane.¡± ¡°Oh¡­ Oh¡­¡±¡® Although there were still some people who were puzzled, they walked forward. After Lin Fan and the rest had left, Mr. He said in a daze, ¡°They¡­ They left?¡± ¡°Obviously, yes,¡± Mr. Huang said. ¡°But didn¡¯t they say that their plane leaves at 9:30? Does the plane really wait for people?¡± Mr. He said. Mr. Huang shrugged, indicating that he did not know either. At this moment, a crisp voice sounded from the VIP lounge¡¯s speakers. ¡°Attention, passengers of flight C1118. The flight to Li City has arrived. Please proceed to Boarding Gate B25¡­¡± ¡°Our plane is here,¡± said Mr. Huang. ¡°Let¡¯s board the plane.¡± Mr. He lowered his head and walked forward with confusion. When he met a flight attendant, Mr. He could not help but quicken his pace. He hurriedly asked, ¡°Hi there. Does the plan wait for late customers?¡± Mr. He had a habit of solving problems as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be like a thorn stuck in his throat, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. The flight attendant looked at Mr. He strangely. Logically speaking, a person like Mr. He should often fly, right? Why would he ask such a low-level question? However, the flight attendant was a professionally trained person. After a short moment, she smiled professionally and said, ¡°The departure time is strictly controlled. We don¡¯t stop and wait for anyone. ¡°If your relatives and friends haven¡¯t arrived at the airport yet, please ask them to come over as soon as possible.¡± How could Mr. He not see the change in the flight attendant¡¯s expression? However, he did not care and asked, ¡°But the plane seemed to have waited for a group of students?¡± The flight attendant looked enlightened and said, ¡°Oh, you mean Mr. Lin, right? He booked a large passenger plane from our Xia Airlines.¡± Mr. He, Mr. Huang, Ms. Feng, and Mr. Chang¡­ Their mouths were half open as they were stunned. At this moment, Lin Fan and the others had already arrived on the plane. They each chose their favorite seats and sat down. It was the first time some students took a plane, so they were very excited. They looked here and there for a while. They kept taking photos. At this moment, a flight attendant slowly walked over and smiled. ¡°Mr. Lin, are all your classmates here?¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Everyone is here.¡± ¡°Then may I ask¡­ if the plane can take off now?¡± the flight attendant asked again. ¡°Sure,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright.¡± After the flight attendant walked away, Zheng Jinbao praised, ¡°The flight attendant is so beautiful!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Song Yi agreed. After the plane roared, its speed increased sharply. It instantly passed through the thick clouds and flew in the blue sky. This scene caused all the students to exclaim in amazement. More than an hour later, the plane finally landed slowly. With the flight attendants respectfully sending them off, the students walked out in turn. ¡°Is this Li City? The air is so good!¡± ¡°The sky is so blue!¡± When Lin Fan and his classmates got down from the plane, Mr. He, Mr. Huang, Ms. Feng, and Mr. Chang were waiting for the passengers to get off the plane. They wore sunglasses and hats and quietly got off. Mr. Chang sighed. ¡°This is the trouble of being a celebrity. We have to be quiet when we get off the plane. When will we be able to get off the plane openly?¡± ¡°We probably won¡¯t have a chance,¡± said Ms. Feng. ¡°It¡¯s very simple,¡± said Mr. Huang. ¡°Really?¡± Mr. Chang and Ms. Feng looked over curiously. Mr. Huang said, ¡°Let Mr. He mention it to the program team. Just like the group of students just now, we¡¯ll book a plane. Let alone get off the plane openly, we can even dance on the plane.¡± Therefore, Mr. Chang and Ms. Feng both looked at Mr. He with eager eyes. Mr. He could not help but cough lightly. He said, ¡°It¡¯s not possible to book a plane for the time being¡­ However, it¡¯s still possible to rent a luxury car!¡± Then, he pointed at a car not far away and said, ¡°Look, our luxury car is here!¡± At this moment, a high-end Mercedes-Benz bus drove over from afar. In the end, it stopped steadily in front of Lin Fan and his classmates who had just alighted from another plane. Then, Lin Fan and the rest boarded the high-end Mercedes-Benz bus. Seeing this¡­ Mr. Huang, Mr. Chang, and Ms. Feng all looked at Mr. He and then at the G18 in front of them with strange expressions. That appearance¡­ It was as if they were saying, ¡®Mr. He, is this the luxury car you mentioned?¡¯ Mr. He opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say. It had to be said that young people had good energy. Even though they woke up early in the morning and were so excited on the plane that they could not even control themselves¡­ At this moment, they were sitting on the Mercedes-Benz bus, looking around and talking non-stop. About two hours later, the bus drove through the winding mountain road and finally arrived at its destination. When Lin Fan and his classmates got off the bus, Su Ningjing was already standing in front. Su Ningjing¡­ was wearing a long green dress. Under the sunlight, her fair skin and exquisite facial features became crystal clear like jade. Her black and pure eyes were like gemstones, emitting a dazzling light. When a breeze blew past, her waterfall-like hair swayed gently. Seeing this¡­ Everyone, including Lin Fan, was stunned. At this moment, if someone said that fairies existed in this world, they would not hesitate to nod and believe it. It was because a fairy had really appeared in front of them. At this moment, Su Ningjing also saw Lin Fan. A natural smile appeared on her pretty face¡­ At this moment¡­ Everyone felt as if they had been baked by the sun, and their hearts melted instantly. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Su Ningjing walked in front of Lin Fan and said sweetly, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re here.¡± As soon as she said that, everyone¡¯s hearts seemed to have been hit by a hammer. Chapter 225 - Chapter 225 A Feast; Laughter! Chapter 225 A Feast; Laughter! Lin Fan did not care about the students around him. He took a step forward and opened his arms, ready to pull Su Ningjing into his arms. ¡°Brother!¡± At this moment, a loud and clear cry came from afar. Then, Ah Mei, who was also wearing a green dress, jumped and ran over. Her skin was not as fair as Su Ningjing¡¯s. She lived in the mountains of Li City all year round, so her skin was a healthy wheat color. Her eyes were just like Su Ningjing¡¯s. They were as bright as gems, and her exquisite facial features seemed to have been meticulously carved by God¡­ If Su Ningjing was said to be a fairy who had descended to the mortal world, Ah Mei was the fairy of the mountain! Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Ah Mei threw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s embrace. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you for a month but you¡¯ve grown taller.¡± ¡°Hehe.¡± Ah Mei¡¯s pretty face immediately became extremely radiant. ¡°Welcome¡­¡± a white-haired old woman slowly walked over and said. ¡°Granny, how are you feeling?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Good, very good!¡± the old lady said happily. Lin Fan nodded his head and felt a little more at ease. The old lady was too old. Lin Fan did not know how effective Medical Water would be on her. At this moment, a man in a white shirt slowly walked over. He bowed and said in an extremely respectful tone, ¡°Mr. Lin, it¡¯s almost mealtime. Shall we cook now?¡± ¡°Okay, go ahead.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Alright!¡± the man in the white shirt replied. Then¡­ Several men wearing tall white chef hats moved out stoves, tables, M5 Wagyu beef, Australian lobster, hairy crabs, and other high-end ingredients from the trucks that were parked far away. After the sound of cooking rang out, a wave of fragrance assailed their noses and spread continuously. On the other hand¡­ Mr. He, Mr. Huang, Mr. Chang, and Ms. Feng finally arrived at the small mountain village after a while in the car. As soon as Mr. Chang got out of the car, his stomach growled. ¡°Why didn¡¯t we come back after dinner in Li City?¡± he complained. Ms. Feng¡¯s stomach was also growling. ¡°Yeah, it¡¯ll take a long time for Mr. Huang to cook, right?¡± he said with a bitter face. ¡°No way. Am I going to cook now?¡± Mr. Huang said with a tired face. ¡°We haven¡¯t started work yet, so why would we need Mr. Huang to cook?¡± Mr. He smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, our program team has already prepared a luxurious meal for you!¡± Then, Mr. He opened the trunk of the GL8 and took out lunch boxes. ¡°Food is served!¡± Mr. He had voice-acting skills, and he handed the lunch boxes to everyone. At the same time, he also opened a lunch box and pointed at the braised fish, green pepper, lean meat, tomato and egg. He said, ¡°You didn¡¯t expect to eat such luxurious lunch boxes in a small mountain village, did you?¡± At this moment, a whiff of fragrance wafted over from afar. Brother Chang sniffed hard and said, ¡°Huh, what¡¯s that smell? It smells so good!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! It smells so good!¡± Ms. Feng also praised. ¡°I think it¡¯s over there!¡± Then, she carried the lunch box and ran in the direction of the fragrance. Mr. Chang and Mr. Huang followed closely behind. When Mr. He saw that everyone had run away, how could he stay alone? Not long after, they saw several men wearing tall chef hats displaying their superb culinary skills and bringing exquisite dishes to the tables that were already set up. A large group of students sat around three tables, holding hairy crabs in one hand and Australian lobster in the other. They were eating with their mouths full of grease. They were having a good time. Seeing this¡­ Mr. Chang, Ms. Feng, and Mr. Huang¡­ They could not help but swallow their saliva. Then, they looked at the hairy crabs and Australian lobsters in the distance. They then looked at the tomato and egg as well as the green pepper shredded meat in their lunch boxes. Then, they all looked at Mr. He. Their appearances¡­ It was as if they were saying, ¡°Mr. He, is this the luxurious meal in the small mountain village you were talking about?¡± Mr. He could only cough. After eating and drinking their fill, the students¡¯ faces were filled with satisfaction. Together, they followed the winding mountain path and the gurgling stream. ¡°This water is so clear. I can see the bottom with one glance.¡± ¡°And it¡¯s so sweet!¡± ¡°Wow¡­ That mountain is so beautiful!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s go up and take a look!¡± When they saw the setting sun dyeing the distant sky red, everyone¡¯s mouths were wide open in admiration. After coming down from the mountain, a warm bonfire party was waiting for them. Just like that, everyone gathered around the bonfire to eat barbecue and sing pop songs. On this day, the entire hill was filled with the laughter of students. At night, the students went into the tent that Lin Fan had prepared. They lay in the tent, looking at the bright stars in the night sky and chatting softly. It was quiet, beautiful, and extremely enjoyable! Chapter 226 - Chapter 226 Beautiful Scenery; Yearning for Life! Chapter 226 Beautiful Scenery; Yearning for Life! The next day, a gentle breeze blew across the treetops. Song Yi might have caught a cold. He stuck his head out of the tent and prepared to find a place to settle his physiological problems. At this moment, the sun slowly poked out of the divine mountain in the east. At this moment¡­ The sun, the mountain, and the sky seemed to be connected together. Song Yi could not help but be stunned. ¡°Lil Zhong, Jinbao!¡± he shouted. ¡°Get up and watch the sunrise!¡± Ma Zhong and Zheng Jinbao responded and crawled out of the tent. Following that, the other students also stuck their heads out. The morning sun was different from the setting sun. At first, the sun was blocked by the fog in the forest, making it seem a little hazy. Then, the sun rose slowly and broke through the fog, forming thousands of dazzling lights. Seeing this¡­ All the students¡¯ mouths were wide open as if they were infatuated. Even Song Jiaxin¡¯s beautiful eyes lit up. However, in her eyes, the morning sun in the distance did not seem to be a fiery red sun. It seemed to have turned into a smiling Lin Fan. Song Yi saw that all his classmates were shocked by the beautiful scenery he had discovered. He could not help but say proudly, ¡°How is it? Isn¡¯t it nice?¡± ¡°It looks good!¡± Ma Zhong nodded seriously. Zheng Jinbao said, ¡°Song Yi, you got so drunk yesterday, but you actually woke up so early today. It¡¯s really rare!¡± ¡°That¡¯s because¡­¡± Song Yi was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly clutched his stomach and said hurriedly, ¡°The toilet, the toilet, where¡¯s the toilet?!¡± Immediately after, a nauseating stench wafted over to the students who were admiring the morning sun. For breakfast, there were men wearing tall chef¡¯s hats who cooked delicacies such as Australian shrimp spaghetti, fried egg dumplings, beef fried rice, fresh meat wontons, and so on. Everyone was very satisfied. Yesterday, the students had already familiarized themselves with the surrounding environment. Next, they chose the place they wanted to go and moved around freely. Lin Fan plucked some fruits and returned early. He looked into the distance and saw the coffee beans that he had planted. At this moment, the coffee beans had all grown and bloomed with snow-white flowers. It was as if a long stretch of white fur had been laid on the hillside. It was very beautiful. Lin Fan praised in his heart, ¡®As expected of the top-grade coffee beans from the system. In just a month, they¡¯ve grown so much.¡± He could not help but walk toward the hillside. Soon, he noticed that some of the plants had become crooked due to the rain and strong winds. Moreover, because the surrounding plants blocked the sunlight, they were short. Thus, Lin Fan turned around and walked toward Su Ningjing¡¯s house. He was going to get a shovel and a hoe to transplant the affected plants and trim them. Meanwhile, in a house in a small mountain village¡­ Mr. Chang was still sleeping soundly on the bed. Ms. Feng, on the other hand, was lying on her stomach and playing with her phone. She did not want to move either. They were on the road for the whole day yesterday, and then they had to clean up the house. They were exhausted. Above their heads, there were two drones with high-definition cameras that kept circling. Obviously, the program ¡®Yearning for Life¡¯ had already started. In the live broadcast room. Tan Wuxin: [Mr. Chang¡¯s sleeping posture is really too ugly. No wonder he can¡¯t find a girlfriend.] Zheng Xuhao: [Yeah! He probably won¡¯t be able to find a girlfriend in real life. Let¡¯s see if he can get a girlfriend in TV shows or movies in the future.] FIY: [Maybe not¡­ Even in shows, Mr. Chang only has a younger sister.] Shadowless: [Ms. Feng is in a daze and is playing with her phone. She¡¯s so cute!] Description: [If my mom saw me playing with my phone like this, she would probably confiscate it until the next day¡­] While the live broadcast room was filled with bullet comments, Mr. He walked in with a smile. He smiled and said, ¡°Lil Chang, Lil Feng, it¡¯s time to get up. Mr. Huang made us delicious fried dumplings and hot dry noodles!¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Ms. Feng said weakly. Then, she got up with great difficulty, brushed her teeth, and washed her face. Only then did she come to the dining table with sleepy eyes. ¡°The delicious fried dumplings are here!¡± ¡°The delicious hot dry noodles are here!¡± As Mr. He shouted twice, breakfast was served on the dining table. Ms. Feng had just taken two bites when Mr. He took another bottle of milk and said, ¡°How can we miss out on Trensu milk for breakfast?¡± ¡°Trensu has always been innovative. It uses high-quality milk from its exclusive farm, which can replenish the nutrients needed by the human body in a timely manner!¡± In the live broadcast room. Xiao Sheng: [It¡¯s here, it¡¯s here! The advertisement is here!] ¡­: [Looking at Ms. Feng drinking milk, I suddenly thought of the scene where my mother stared at me drinking milk.] Cherish: [However, the dumplings made by Mr. Huang look pretty good.] At this moment, Mr. Chang walked out with sleepy eyes. Ms. Feng pushed a bottle of milk in front of him. Mr. Chang said in a daze, ¡°¡­For me?¡± ¡°Trensu has always been innovative,¡± Ms. Feng said. ¡°They use high-quality milk from their exclusive farm. It can replenish the nutrients needed by the human body in a timely manner!¡± In the live broadcast room. AI: [Hahaha! Her actions are too funny!] Stone: [This advertisement is too funny!] Teenage Spirit: [This is too amusing!] ¡°Do you know?¡± Mr. He asked after a full meal. ¡°Now, there¡¯s more and more carbon dioxide on Earth, and the weather is getting worse. ¡°Therefore, planting trees has become especially important. ¡°Let¡¯s go plant trees today!¡± Then, Mr. He, Mr. Huang, Ms. Feng, and Mr. Chang walked out with hoes, shovels, and saplings. After a while, they arrived at an empty space. Mr. He, Ms. Feng, and Mr. Chang were obviously not very good at planting trees. After digging for a long time, they still could not plant a tree. Mr. Huang could not help but say smugly, ¡°There are techniques to planting trees¡­ ¡°Look, I used a hoe to dig, and then a shovel¡­¡± In the live broadcast room. KK: [As expected of the all-rounded Mr. Huang. He¡¯s even so good at planting trees.] Vegetable Salad: [Is there anything in this world that Mr. Huang doesn¡¯t know?] Single Bed: [Look at Ms. Feng and Mr. Chang. Don¡¯t they look like two primary school students who are listening attentively?] Flower Language: [Mr. Huang¡¯s action of planting trees is so cool!] Mr. Huang and the others planted a few trees on this piece of land and walked forward. later, they arrived at the other side A moment of the clearing. Hence, Mr. Huang and the others picked up their hoes and prepared to start planting trees again. However, this time, the drone accidentally captured the coffee plants not far away. Chapter 227 - Chapter 227 Find the Most Handsome Farmer! Chapter 227 Find the Most Handsome Farmer! The flowers of the coffee plants were too eye-catching. Soon, they attracted the attention of everyone in the live broadcast room. Wild Xiao: [What a huge field of flowers!] It Doesn¡¯t matter: [What beautiful flowers!] Come and Go: [It¡¯s only early spring, right? It¡¯s really rare to see such big flowers!] 00887755: [Huh? Did you see that? Someone seems to be transplanting those flowers and plants. His movements are so handsome!] The Little Man in the Painting: [First of all, I have to remind you that they aren¡¯t flowers but coffee plants. It¡¯s quite rare to see such well-planted coffee plants. The coffee beans harvested in the future should taste good too. Also, I want to say that that person¡¯s movements are so handsome!] Moon on Branch: [Why do I feel like he¡¯s not transplanting plants but dancing in the sea of flowers? He¡¯s really¡­ so charming!] Floral Language: [I just said that Mr. Huang looked handsome planting trees. Although I can only see the back of the man in the sea of flowers, I have to say that he¡¯s really handsome!] As the audience sent many comments, they quickly shared the live broadcast to their WeChat group chats and Moments¡­ The man was labeled as the most handsome farmer. Instantly, the popularity of the live broadcast room began to soar. In fact, it was normal for such a situation to happen. After all, Lin Fan had Expert-Level Planting Technique and could display his charm. Regarding these¡­ Mr. Huang, Mr. He, Ms. Feng, Mr. Chang, and the others were out of the loop. At this moment, they were still seriously planting trees, sweating profusely. With their tireless efforts, all the saplings were finally planted. Thus, the four of them dragged their tired bodies and walked toward the house. The first thing they did when they returned to the house was to drink the iced sour plum drink that they had prepared earlier. Instantly, a sense of relief that they had not felt for a long time surged into their hearts. This feeling¡­ It was as if their bodies were floating. Mr. Huang rested for a while before he stood up and said, ¡°I got some mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and wild vegetables nearby this morning. I¡¯ll cook some wild game for you to try now.¡± Then, he went to the kitchen and quickly washed and cut the prepared dishes. As the smoke rose, dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted good were served on the table. In the past, under such circumstances, the live broadcast room would definitely be filled with praise. However, the atmosphere today was completely different. Stone: [Why are you cooking again? Continue filming that handsome guy transplanting the coffee plants!] Carefree: [Yeah! I¡¯m here to watch the handsome guy transplant the coffee plants. I only got to watch him for a while.] FLY: [Continue filming the handsome guy transplanting coffee plants!] Black and White Ordinary Man: [+1. Otherwise, I¡¯ll quit watching!] Me in the Wind: [Also, remember to film from the front. Film the handsome guy¡¯s front profile!] Generally speaking, after Yearning for Life started its live broadcast, the production team would not take the initiative to intervene. Today, however, too many people had made requests. Thus, when Mr. Huang, Mr. He, Ms. Feng, Mr. Chang, and the others finished their meal,a phone unexpectedly rang in the house. Mr. Huang used a toothpick to pick his teeth and said, ¡°Could it be that we have a guest? Lil Chang, go and answer the call.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Mr. Chang stood up helplessly and picked up the phone. ¡°I¡¯m the director of the program team. Please go to the place where you planted the trees earlier.¡± A slightly hoarse voice came from the phone. Mr. Chang was slightly stunned. He looked at the phone in his hand and could not help but ask in a low voice, ¡°Why are we going there again?¡± ¡°Because when you were planting the trees, the drone accidentally captured a sea of white coffee plants and a man transplanting the coffee plants¡­ ¡°Now, everyone in the live broadcast room is asking you to film him again¡­¡± After Mr. Chang hung up the phone, a strange expression appeared on his face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Mr. Huang asked. ¡°Who called?¡± Mr. Chang hesitated for a while and said, ¡°The weather is so good today. Let¡¯s go out for a walk.¡± Mr. Huang, Mr. He, and Ms. Feng looked at the scorching sun outside. Then, they looked at Mr. Chang. That appearance¡­ It was as if they were questioning whether the weather was indeed good! Mr. Chang could not help but cough. He stole a glance at the drone in front of him. He felt helpless. What could he say? He could not just say that the director had called, right? Would that not expose him? At this moment, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated slightly. An advertisement popped up. Seeing this¡­ Mr. Chang had a flash of inspiration and typed everything the director had just said into his phone. Then, he smiled and said, ¡°I use QQ Reading to read novels every day. There are many novels, and the interface is good¡­ Come and take a look.¡± A perfect advertisement placement. Then, Mr. Chang handed his phone to Mr. Huang, Mr. He, and Ms. Feng. When the three of them saw the words on the screen, they were stunned for a moment. After that, Mr. He finally understood. ¡°Yeah, reading novels on QQ Reading is really fun!¡± ¡°I¡¯m full. Come, let¡¯s go take a walk around the coffee plants to digest the food.¡± ¡°Walking a hundred steps after a meal will help us live to 99! Let¡¯s go!¡± Mr. Huang replied. Then, Mr. He, Mr. Huang, Ms. Feng, and Mr. Chang walked out with brisk steps. Before long, they arrived at the small hill. They looked at the wild coffee trees with white flowers all over the mountain. For a moment, they were all stunned. ¡°How beautiful!¡± Ms. Feng said sincerely. In fact, it was not only Ms. Feng who sighed. Everyone in the live broadcast room was the same. L: [Oh my God! This is too beautiful!] True Color: [I want to plant coffee trees in the future!] Shi Yang: [Where¡¯s that handsome guy from before? Where¡¯s the handsome guy?] Black and White Cat: [Please film the handsome farmer!] Countless comments immediately appeared in the entire live broadcast room. Ding! Brother Chang, who was silently admiring the coffee plants, felt his phone vibrate again. It turned out to be a message from the director: [Go find the handsome guy who transplanted the coffee plants. Handsome back.jpg] Seeing this¡­ Mr. Chang was stunned for a moment. It was because he remembered this back view¡­ Was this not the young man he met in the VIP lounge yesterday? He seemed to have booked a plane! He was the one who transplanted the coffee plants? After a while, Mr. Chang picked up his phone again. He coughed lightly and said, ¡°Every time I see such beautiful scenery, I like to take photos with my Oppo phone!¡± Another smooth advertisement was inserted. ¡°Mr. Huang, Mr. He, Ms. Feng, what do you think of my photo?¡± Then, Mr. Chang showed everyone the news and photos sent by the director. Chapter 228 - Chapter 228 Surprised; Return! Chapter 228 Surprised; Return! Mr. He, Mr. Huang, and Ms. Feng were also stunned when they saw the message and photo. Especially Ms. Feng, whose beautiful eyes shrank slightly. Clearly, they recognized Lin Fan¡¯s back. They were indeed professional actors. Very quickly, they retracted the shock in their heart. Then, they all praised. ¡°As expected of an Oppo phone. The photos are so clear!¡± Mr. He said. ¡°With an Oppo phone, I don¡¯t need to bring a camera anymore,¡± Mr. Huang said. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Ms. Feng said. After a series of discreet advertisements, they began to follow the director¡¯s instructions and turned around to look for the handsome guy who transplanted the coffee plants. Along the way, they chatted as they walked¡­ Not long after, they arrived at Su Ningjing¡¯s house. They remembered clearly that they had seen Lin Fan and his classmates here yesterday. They were holding Australian lobsters in one hand and hairy crabs in the other, eating to their hearts¡¯ content. As if recalling that scene, Mr. Chang and Ms. Feng could not help but swallow. At this moment, Ah Mei hopped over and asked, ¡°Is there something you need?¡± ¡°What a cute girl!¡± Ms. Feng was pleasantly surprised, and her eyes immediately turned into crescent moons. ¡°Little girl, weren¡¯t there a lot of people here yesterday?¡± Mr. He smiled. ¡°Where are they?¡± ¡°They just went back!¡± Ah Mei said. ¡°They went back¡­ Did they go back?¡± Mr. He was stunned. ¡°What about this person?¡± Mr. Chang took out his phone again. ¡°Oh, you mean Brother? He also went back together with the rest of them!¡± Ah Mei said. In fact, this was normal. After all, Lin Fan and the rest still had classes on Monday and had to return today. When Mr. He, Mr. Huang, and the others heard this, they revealed a helpless expression. The director¡¯s mission could not be completed. In the live broadcast room. Hashido: [They went back already? It¡¯s a pity that I can¡¯t see the handsome guy who transplanted the trees.] Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing: [But this little girl is so cute.] Little Wen Zi: [What a pity.] Brother Chang had just put away his phone when he suddenly saw a watch in front of him. He bent down and picked it up. He looked at the cool appearance of the watch and could not help but praise, ¡°What a great watch!¡± Mr. He, Ms. Feng, and Mr. Huang, who were beside him, also saw it. ¡°It looks good!¡± Ms. Feng said. ¡°It looks pretty good indeed.¡± Mr. He nodded. At this moment, Mr. Huang frowned slightly and said, ¡°Huh, this watch¡­ Let me see¡­¡¯ Then, he took the watch and looked at it carefully. After a while, he said, ¡°This watch¡­ Why does it look like the limited edition 5002P from Patrick Phillip?¡± It had to be said that Mr. Huang was indeed a jack of all trades. He knew a thing or two about limited edition watches. ¡°A limited edition model from Patrick Phillipe? That must be very expensive, right?¡± Mr. Chang said. ¡°More than 17 million,¡± said Mr. Huang. Hiss! Mr. Chang, Ms. Feng, and Mr. He all gasped. Even though they were popular celebrities,a watch worth more than 17 million yuan was enough to shock them. ¡°This is my brother¡¯s watch!¡± Ah Mei said. In the live broadcast room. Zheng Xuhao: [A watch that costs more than 17 million yuan? Don¡¯t tell me this is true?] The Other Party Is Typing: [It shouldn¡¯t be true, right? Otherwise, such an expensive watch would definitely be found quickly if it was lost, right?] I Love Watches: [I¡¯m the manager of a watch company. I¡¯ve just studied it very carefully. It¡¯s indeed a genuine platinum 5002P! The current market price is 17.6 million yuan!] Treasure: [In that case¡­ Not only is the farmer handsome, but he¡¯s also a super tycoon?] Explanation: [He¡¯s truly tall, rich, and handsome!] Huahua: [Why didn¡¯t I even get a chance to look at this tall, rich, and handsome guy?] ¡°Ah-choo!¡± Lin Fan suddenly sneezed. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, are you alright?¡± Ma Zhong asked. Lin Fan rubbed his nose and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Then, a faint smile appeared on his face. That was because a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve completed the hidden mission and organized a perfect spring outing. You¡¯ll receive five silver packets.] After two days of playing, he completed a mission and received five silver packets. This was definitely a pleasant surprise for him. Then, just like before, Lin Fan brought everyone into the VIP lounge to rest for a while. Then, they boarded the plane together. Perhaps it was because they had experienced it once or perhaps they were tired from playing these two days. This time, many students fell asleep in the airplane seats. About two hours later, when the plane landed, they were woken up by the students next to them and boarded the luxury bus that had been waiting at the airport. At this moment, a student suddenly realized something and said, ¡°We¡¯ve been flying back and forth for the past two days. Why didn¡¯t we see any other passengers?¡± ¡°Huh? That seems to be true.¡± ¡°Now that you mention it, I just realized it!¡± ¡°That¡¯s strange. The spring festival has just passed. There should be a lot of people flying.¡± ¡°Moreover, I think that¡­ we were on the same plane both times. Even the flight attendants on the plane were identical.¡± Lin Fan listened to everyone¡¯s discussion and replied casually, ¡°Because I booked that plane.¡± His voice was very calm. However, it sounded like thunder in the ears of the students. He booked that plane! Book the plane? How much was it? The students had only seen it happen in movies, novels, and other places. However, in reality¡­ they had never heard of it before. Now, it happened in front of them? Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief. At this moment, many students remembered that Lin Fan had brought them directly on a plane and they did not need to get their tickets checked. It was Lin Fan who booked the plane! At this moment¡­ All the students looked at Lin Fan with admiration. In order to let everyone have a happy spring outing, Lin Fan booked the entire plane! In fact, most people¡­ Even if it was a chartered flight, booking one would not be so easy. The real reason was that Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder of Xia Airlines. Lin Fan could not be bothered to talk about this matter. After returning to school, Lin Fan did not go to his dorm. Instead, he drove the Pagani Huayra to the Coiling Dragon Villa. Then, he focused his attention on the five silver packets. ¡°Let¡¯s see what we can get,¡± he muttered. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one million yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 500,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 5% of the shares of the Volkswagen Group.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 200,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 500,000 yuan.] Chapter 229 - Chapter 229 Great Harvest; Mission Triggered! Chapter 229 Great Harvest; Mission Triggered! As Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder of Xia Airlines, the chartered flights were all provided by Xia Airlines for free. For this spring outing, he had only prepared a tent, ingredients, and chefs. The total cost was only a few hundred thousand yuan. Lin Fan had completed the hidden mission and received five silver packets. He received 2.2 million yuan and 5% of the shares of Volkswagen Group. This was definitely a great harvest! One had to know¡­ Volkswagen Group was not just limited to Volkswagen. It also included Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, and a large number of other car companies with a total market value of more than one trillion yuan. 5% of the shares were worth more than 50 billion. In other words, Lin Fan had invested hundreds of thousands in this spring outing and earned at least 50 billion yuan! Then, Lin Fan turned his attention to the check-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten million yuan.] Regarding this¡­ Lin Fan paid it no mind at all. He played with his phone for a while more before lying down on the soft bed and falling asleep. In the past two days, he had been flying, hiking, and transplanting¡­ He was a little tired. The next day, the sky was clear. When a few sparrows made a few crisp sounds outside the window, Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. He first looked at his phone out of habit. As usual, a text message appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 3,670,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] He did not pay much attention to this and turned his attention to the check-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten million yuan.] ¡°Why is it ten million again?¡± Lin Fan pursed his lips. Then, he slowly got up and washed up. At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang. Lin Fan looked at the caller ID. It was an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a moment, he still chose to pick it up. ¡°Is this Mr. Lin?¡± A slightly low voice came from the phone. ¡°It¡¯s me. Who are you?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. I¡¯m Hou Jiarun, the manager of Fengrao Logistics¡­ We have a batch of your cars here. Where should we send them?¡± The voice on the phone said very respectfully. A batch of cars? He did not seem to have ordered any cars during this period of time. Lin Fan was stunned for a moment before asking, ¡°Are you sure they¡¯re mine? But I haven¡¯t booked any cars yet.¡± ¡°Are you Lin Fan, Mr. Lin?¡± Hou Jiarun hesitated for a moment before asking. ¡°It¡¯s me,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°That¡¯s right, then. These cars were sent by Volkswagen Group,¡± Hou Jiarun said. When Lin Fan heard this, he finally had a look of realization on his face. If it was Volkswagen Group, it would make sense. After all, Lin Fan had a similar experience when he obtained LV¡¯s and Gucci¡¯s shares. ¡°Then send them to the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex in Jiangbei,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Do you know where it is?¡± ¡°I do. I¡¯ll be there in about 20 minutes. Is that okay?¡± Hou Jiarun asked. Lin Fan replied, ¡°Sure.¡± After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan took out some bread from the fridge and baked it in the bread machine. Then, he added high-end butter, beef slices, Australian lobster meat, organic vegetables, and a glass of premium milk. It could be considered a simple breakfast. Lin Fan had just finished his breakfast when the phone in his pocket rang. ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯ve arrived¡­¡± Hou Jiarun¡¯s voice came from the phone. When Lin Fan heard that, he looked out the window. Sure enough, two long trucks that were 20 to 30 meters long appeared in his sight. Each truck was divided into three levels, and each level was filled with cars including Volkswagen, Audi, Bentley, Porsche, and so on. Lin Fan had already guessed that the number of cars that Volkswagen Group was giving him would not be small. However, after seeing this scene, he could not help but be shocked. These cars¡­ Could it be that they were all his? This number¡­ There were probably dozens of them, right? Lin Fan walked out with a puzzled look. The round-faced man in the truck quickly saw Lin Fan. He hurriedly walked down and said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. I¡¯m Hou Jiarun, the one who just called you. ¡°Hello, Manager Hou.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Are these cars all mine?¡± ¡°Yes, where do you think I should put these cars?¡± Hou Jiarun asked. ¡°Ah¡­ Just leave them along this road in front,¡¯ Lin Fan said. The road that Lin Fan was pointing at was the public road in the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex. Normally, parking was not allowed on this road. However, the entire Coiling Dragon Villa Complex belonged to Lin Fan alone. Naturally, this rule did not apply. With the help of a few workers, all the cars were finally parked on the road after about half an hour. ¡°Then¡­ Mr. Lin, if there¡¯s nothing else, we¡¯ll take our leave first,¡± Hou Jiarun said. From the moment he saw Lin Fan until now, Hou Jiarun had maintained a respectful attitude. It was no wonder¡­ It was because he knew that this batch of cars was personally sent by the president of Volkswagen Group. The president of Volkswagen Group valued Lin Fan so much. Lin Fan¡¯s identity¡­ One could imagine how amazing it was. ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Fan said. Just as the two trucks left, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang again. This time, it was an unknown number from overseas. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin,¡± said a voice that spoke in a very broken Hua Nation language. ¡°Hello,¡± Lin Fan said. At the same time, he had already guessed the identity of the other party. Then, a crisp voice came from the phone. ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m the secretary of Volkswagen Group¡¯s president, William Hull. Mr. William Hull asked me to send his regards to you. He expresses his gratitude for your support and trust in Volkswagen Group¡­ ¡°In addition, Mr. William Hull asked if you¡¯ve received Volkswagen Group¡¯s vehicles. Are you satisfied?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Tell Mr. William that I¡¯m very satisfied.¡± Then, he heard words being exchanged. ¡°Mr. William Hull said that it¡¯s good as long as you like them, Mr. Lin. He¡¯ll continue to send you new cars from Volkswagen Group in the future,¡± the secretary said. Lin Fan had Professional-Level English, so he understood William¡¯s words clearly. They could even converse fluently in English. However, he did not bring it up, nor did he have any intention of speaking in English. It was because he was from Hua Nation! ¡°Thank him for me,¡± Lin Fan said. After some small talk, Lin Fan finally hung up. Then, he looked at the long line of Volkswagen and Audi cars on the road and revealed a strange expression. ¡°There are so many cars. If I use a different one for every day of the month, there¡¯ll be no overlaps.¡± As soon as he said that, a crisp voice rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! Mission triggered-complete five special orders. Reward: Five golden packets.] Chapter 230 - Chapter 230 Keep Working Hard and You’ll Be Like Me! Chapter 230 Keep Working Hard and You¡¯ll Be Like Me! When Lin Fan heard the notification in his mind, he was stunned for a moment. Five special orders to get five golden packets? Golden packets! Lin Fan¡¯s eyes moved slightly. He had never received a golden packet before. This piqued his interest. Lin Fan looked at the time and muttered, ¡°It¡¯s already too late to go to school now. Let¡¯s not go today¡­¡± Then, Lin Fan took out his phone and sent a request for leave to Counselor Sun. Normally, if someone asked for leave as soon as school started, the counselor would definitely reprimand them and ask them to come to class immediately. However, Lin Fan was different. The school leaders had already informed everyone to give Lin Fan the greatest freedom. Therefore, Sun Yaodong directly agreed. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan opened a Santana next to him and downloaded the DiDi app to quickly register. Then, he stepped on the accelerator and sped out. The Santana was not like a supercar, which had 500 to 600 horsepower. The Santana only had 119 horsepower. However, it was precisely because of this that Lin Fan felt a sense of relaxation. Not long after, Lin Fan received a beep. The customer was only two kilometers away from him. It was a middle-aged man wearing a branded shirt and gold-rimmed glasses. After he got into the car, he glanced at Lin Fan. Then, with a slightly arrogant tone, he said, ¡°Did you buy this car?¡± ¡°Oh, no¡­ I didn¡¯t buy the car,¡± Lin Fan replied casually. When the middle-aged man heard this, the arrogance on his face intensified. In his opinion, since he did not buy the car himself, his parents must have bought it for him. A 20-something-year-old man who could not even afford a Santana and only knew how to rely on his parents was really useless. However, how would he know that¡­ This Santana was not bought by Lin Fan. It was a gift from the president of Volkswagen Group. ¡°Young man, it should be easy to drive people around, right?¡± the middle-aged man asked. Lin Fan held the steering wheel and said casually, ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s quite easy.¡± Instantly, the middle-aged man looked at Lin Fan with a look of pity and disappointment. ¡°You know what? When I was your age, I had nothing and was very poor¡­ ¡°However, I never reached out to my parents, nor did I find an easy job. Instead, I gritted my teeth and worked hard! ¡°Finally! After many years of hard work, I have my own Porsche, my own villa, and several houses¡­ Moreover, I have a company with a market value of tens of millions! ¡°Do you know Jiaye Office Building? That¡¯s a high-end office building in the center of Jiangbei City. My company is in Jiaye Office Building!¡± As the middle-aged man said this, an unconcealable pride appeared on his face. Lin Fan looked at him and could not help but feel weird. Was he trying to show off in front of him? However, Jiaye Office Building? Was that not his building? In fact, Lin Fan¡¯s guess was right. When the middle-aged man saw some young people who had a hard life but were honest, he liked to act like a successful person and show off in front of them. Then, those young people would show their desire for a bright future and worship him. The middle-aged man liked this feeling very much. ¡°Cough, cough!¡± The middle-aged man seemed to think that he was being too obvious, so he coughed lightly and said earnestly, ¡°Young man, work hard. In the future, you can be like me.¡± At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. Lin Fan answered the phone in the car. Immediately, a respectful voice came from the car speaker. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. I¡¯m Xiao Wang, the property manager of Qiankun Building. The rent for this year¡¯s building has been collected, and it¡¯s a total of 76 million yuan¡­ Do you want me to transfer it directly to the bank card you provided last time?¡± If an ordinary person suddenly heard that they were about to receive 76 million yuan, they would definitely be overjoyed. However, Lin Fan¡¯s expression was extremely calm. ¡°Yes, just proceed with it.¡± It was no wonder that he was like this. That was because Lin Fan¡¯s daily income from signing in, breathing, walking, sleeping, and so on was usually more than 13 million. He could earn 76 million yuan in just six days. Lin Fan did not care anymore. However, the middle-aged man sitting in the Santana had his mouth wide open. His entire face was filled with disbelief. 76 million yuan! Even if he added up all his assets, he probably would not have so much money. This young man who drove on DiDi received 76 million yuan in rent? The entire Qiankun Building was his? No! This was absolutely impossible! The person on the phone must be lying to him and joking! That was right! That must be the case! Otherwise, this young man would not be driving on DiDi!h Thinking of this, the middle-aged man¡¯s expression relaxed again. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll instruct the finance department now¡­ I won¡¯t disturb you anymore. Goodbye, Mr. Lin,¡± Lil Wang said. Lin Fan had just hung up when his phone rang again. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. I¡¯m Lil Qin, the property manager of Baijia Building. The rent for this year¡¯s building has been collected according to the contract. The total amount is 85 million yuan¡­ Do I transfer it to your Merchant Bank account?¡± Lil Qin said. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get someone to do it now¡­ Then I won¡¯t disturb you anymore, Mr. Lin. Goodbye,¡± Lil Qin said. 85 million yuan? Baijia Building also belonged to this young man? How was this possible? When he heard the first call, the middle-aged man still had a trace of doubt in his heart. What if Qiankun Building really belonged to this young man? At this moment, he completely threw this doubt to the back of his mind. Impossible! Having a skyscraper was already very impressive. Two buildings? That was absolutely impossible! This young man had probably secretly sent a message to his friends when he was not paying attention, asking them to put on a show with him. At the thought of this, the middle-aged man looked at Lin Fan with a mocking gaze. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang again. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. I¡¯m Lu Weili, the property manager of Modu¡¯s Global Financial Building. The rent for this year¡¯s building has been collected. It¡¯s a total of 1.591 billion yuan¡­ I¡¯ll transfer it to your Merchant Bank account now. Is that okay?¡± Lu Weili said. 1.591 billion? Lin Fan¡¯s tone was filled with joy as he said, ¡°Alright, just proceed with it.¡± ¡°Alright, then I won¡¯t disturb you anymore, Mr. Lin,¡± Lu Weili said. The middle-aged man sitting next to him almost laughed out loud. 1.591 billion yuan? He had already treated Lin Fan¡¯s words as a lie. Asking people to act without considering the reality was really laughable! At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang again. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin! I¡¯m the property manager of Jiaye Building, Lil Zhang ¡­¡± Hearing this voice, the smile on the middle-aged man¡¯s face slightly stopped. It was because he was very familiar with this voice¡­ The owner of this voice seemed to be the property manager of Jiaye Building, whom he had personally visited yesterday to chat with and give gifts to¡­ Zhang Wenzhong! Chapter 231 - Chapter 231 Special Orders; Leisurely Life! Chapter 231 Special Orders; Leisurely Life! Why did it sound like Zhang Wenzhong¡¯s voice? The middle-aged man looked up at the Santana¡¯s navigation system with confusion. He only saw¡­ There were three big words on the car navigation screen-Zhang Wenzhong! Seeing this¡­ The middle-aged man trembled slightly. Maybe it was the same name! That was right! That must be the case! Then, he quickly took out his phone and compared Zhang Wenzhong¡¯s number with the number on the car navigation. 151¡­ 2345.. It was exactly the same! The person who called was really Zhang Wenzhong, the property manager of Jiaye Office Building! In the past, no matter where Zhang Wenzhong went, he would always hold his head high and be treated respectfully by many people. When had¡­ he even spoken to others in such a respectful tone? He even called himself Lil Zhang? Lil Zhang? This¡­ This¡­ It was simply unimaginable! At this moment, Zhang Wenzhong¡¯s respectful voice sounded from the car¡¯s speakers again. ¡°Mr. Lin, the rent for all the office buildings in Jiaye Office Building this year has been collected. It¡¯s a total of 83 million yuan. Would you like to transfer it to your Merchant Bank account ¡°I The middle-aged man froze. The office rent of Jiaye Office Building was transferred to the young man¡¯s account. In that case, Jiaye Office Building¡­ definitely belonged to him! It turned out that he had not been acting all along! Qiankun Building belonged to him, Baijia Building belonged to him, and Global Financial Building in Modu¡­ also belonged to him! Qiankun Building, Baijia Building, and Jiaye Office Building were all high-end office buildings in Jiangbei. The market price was all above one billion, totaling more than three billion! Modu¡¯s Global Financial Tower was a well-known high-end office building in the country. It was probably worth more than tens of billions! The young man in front of him¡­ What kind of godly tycoon was he? The middle-aged man could not help but gape in shock. Lin Fan did not care about him at all. He said calmly into the phone, ¡°Yes, just transfer it to my Merchant Bank account.¡± After saying that, he hung up the phone. Then, Lin Fan looked at the middle-aged man and sighed, ¡°Sigh, I¡¯ve thought about it¡­ I still can¡¯t work as hard as you did when you were young. ¡°Otherwise, when I reach your age, it would be too tragic if I only have tens of millions of assets left¡­¡± When the middle-aged man heard this, his entire face flushed red. He had never expected a young man who drove on DiDi to actually be such a legendary super tycoon. Could it be that all the truly rich people were so low-key? At this moment, he wished he could dig himself a hole to bury in. As soon as they arrived at their destination, the middle-aged man ran out of the car as if he was escaping. Lin Fan could not help but smile as he rubbed his nose. Then, he placed his attention on the system mission. [Mission-complete five special orders. Reward: Five golden packets. Progress: 1/5.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. Did this count as completing a special order? Could it be that every order was a special order? Was this not a little too easy? Thinking of this, Lin Fan could not help but let out a relaxed smile. At this moment, his phone vibrated slightly, and a new order appeared. The customer was only one kilometer away. Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator and sped forward. This customer was a woman, and the journey was peaceful. After Lin Fan sent her to her destination, he checked the mission but there was no progress. Then, Lin Fan received two more orders. However, the progress of the mission remained unchanged. Lin Fan muttered, ¡°As expected, special orders don¡¯t appear so easily!¡± However, Lin Fan was not too frustrated. It was because he felt very relaxed and at ease while driving slowly. When Lin Fan arrived at a red light at a crossroad. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. 12:00 PM! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 333 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 99 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 19,999 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,00 yuan.] This time, Lin Fan received a total of 42,312 yuan. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan could not help but purse his lips and throw his phone to the side. Then, at a two-star Michelin restaurant nearby, he ordered a serving of matsutake at 880 yuan, a small yellow croaker at 2,000 yuan, an organic tomato and beef stew at 2,000 yuan, and a pigeon soup at 500 yuan. Lin Fan¡¯s lunch was settled just like that. After Lin Fan ate, he started to yawn. He did not return to the Coiling Dragon Villa. Instead, he spent 10,000 yuan to book a presidential suite at the nearby Hilton Hotel and fell asleep. After all, it would still take him dozens of minutes to return to Coiling Dragon Villa. It was too troublesome. As for the DiDi mission? He was not in a hurry. Lin Fan was determined to complete this mission. Firstly, he was curious about the gold packets. Secondly, he wanted to experience the DiDi lifestyle. If it was a mission that required a lot of effort, Lin Fan would not even bother with it. Lin Fan slept very comfortably. When he opened his eyes, it was already four in the afternoon. Then, Lin Fan asked the attendant to send up some high-end desserts and fruits. After that, he returned to the Santana and began to experience the DiDi life again. Soon, Lin Fan had completed three DiDi orders. However, the progress of the mission did not change. Just as the sky was gradually darkening¡­ His phone vibrated slightly, and a new order appeared. However, this time, there was a 300 yuan red packet and a message under the order-[When you arrive, please pretend to be my boyfriend and help me out. The red packet is a thank-you gift. Oh right, my name is Lil Xuan.] He actually encountered such a thing? Was this considered a special order? Lin Fan was a little confused as he arrived at his destination. and Not far away, there was a woman with exquisite facial features. She was wearing a light-colored windbreaker, a white shirt, and a black gauze skirt. She had a slender voluptuous figure. Beside her¡­ A man in a checkered shirt was standing there, saying something to her. The woman frowned slightly, a hint of annoyance and helplessness on her pretty face. At this moment, the woman turned her body and happened to see the Santana driving toward her. She quietly took out her phone and checked the license plate number. Then, with a nervous heart, she took two steps forward and waved repeatedly. Obviously, this was the customer of DiDi Orders ¨C Lil Xuan. Lin Fan noticed her too. He used his Eyes of Truth on her. [Appearance: 92] [Favorability: 50] Lin Fan thought to himself, ¡¯92 points of beauty? No wonder men are going after her.¡¯ Then, Lin Fan parked the car in front of him and walked out of the driver¡¯s seat. He smiled and said, ¡°Lil Xuan, have you been waiting for long?¡± Chapter 232 - Chapter 232 Never Heard Of It; The Gap! Chapter 232 Never Heard Of It; The Gap! Lin Fan¡¯s attitude was that he loved what he did. Since he had accepted the order from DiDi, he had to follow the rules. Moreover¡­ Lil Xuan also had a high attractiveness score of 92 points. Therefore, Lin Fan did not mind pretending to be Lil Xuan¡¯s boyfriend. In fact¡­ Lil Xuan, who asked the driver to pretend to be her boyfriend, was both nervous and helpless. She had no choice but to do that as she was being harassed. At the same time, Lil Xuan did not know what kind of person the driver would be. What if¡­ it was a wretched and greasy middle-aged man? What should she do then? At this moment, when Lil Xuan saw Lin Fan¡¯s bright and handsome face, she could not help but heave a sigh of relief. In fact, she even felt a little happy. ¡°I didn¡¯t wait for long. I just got here,¡± she said with a smile. At this moment, the man who had been standing beside Lil Xuan earlier had a cold look in his eyes as he asked in a deep voice, ¡°Lil Xuan, who is he?¡± Lil Xuan opened her cherry lips and stuttered, ¡°He¡­ He¡¯s¡­¡± After all, Lin Fan was just the driver that she had called. She was too embarrassed to say that he was her boyfriend. ¡°I¡¯m Lil Xuan¡¯s boyfriend, Lin Fan,¡± Lin Fan said straightforwardly. ¡°Who are you?¡± Boyfriend! The man¡¯s face darkened. He had also heard Lil Xuan mention that she had a boyfriend. However, the man had always thought it was Lil Xuan¡¯s excuse. After all, none of Lil Xuan¡¯s colleagues had ever seen her boyfriend before. However, it was true? Lil Xuan was such a beautiful woman, yet she had a boyfriend? The man glanced at the Santana beside him with a look of disdain. He was just a man who drove a Santana even though he was Lil Xuan¡¯s boyfriend now. ¡®Very soon, I¡¯ll let you know that you aren¡¯t worthy!¡¯ Thinking of this, the man said in a superior tone, ¡°I¡¯m Zou Zheng. You should have heard of Da Tong Company, right? That¡¯s my family¡¯s company. Lin Fan said in a surprised tone, ¡°Da Tong Company belongs to your family?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Zou Zheng said proudly. It was as if he could already see Lin Fan bowing and fawning over him. Lil Xuan, who was beside Lin Fan, revealed a nervous expression on her pretty face. Could it be¡­ Did Lin Fan happen to have a partnership with Da Tong Company? Was he an employee of Da Tong Company? What should she do if he said that he was not her boyfriend? At this moment, Lin Fan shook his head, ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of it.¡± Lil Xuan burst out laughing. Lin Fan¡¯s reversal was simply too great. Zou Zheng almost choked. His eyebrows twitched as he grimaced. ¡°You¡¯re skilled!¡± Lin Fan said casually, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve always been good.¡± Even though Lin Fan teaching Zou Zheng a lesson made Lil Xuan very happy, she could feel the intense atmosphere and could not help but panic. ¡°Lin Fan, it¡¯s getting late. Let¡¯s go back first.¡± She knew very well how powerful the Zou family was. Lin Fan was just a DiDi driver. If Zou Zheng were to find trouble with him because of her, then she would really feel bad. Lin Fan could read Lil Xuan¡¯s thoughts as well, and he could not help but nod his head in approval. ¡°Don¡¯t be in such a hurry to leave!¡± Zou Zheng said. ¡°Let¡¯s go for a drink together.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t like to drink,¡± Lil Xuan replied casually, then she turned around and walked toward the Santana. At this moment, footsteps sounded behind her. Then, a middle-aged man in a white shirt strode over. When he saw Zou Zheng, his silver-rimmed glasses reflected a faint glow of excitement. He said obsequiously, ¡°Young Master Zou, why are you here? Why don¡¯t we go upstairs for a cup of coffee?¡± Zou Zheng glanced at him, and his eyes moved slightly. ¡°I won¡¯t drink coffee. Originally, I was planning to meet the young masters of Fujia Company and Fengyuan Company for dinner. ¡°In the end, An Xuan from your company refused to go. Forget it, I¡¯ll just leave.¡± When the middle-aged man heard this, he could not help but become a little anxious. One had to know¡­ Fujia Company, Fengyuan Company, and Zou Zheng¡¯s family¡¯s Da Tong Company were all big clients that his company had to win over. However, he had never had any good ideas. Now, Zou Zheng was organizing a dinner with the young masters of Fujia and Fengyuan. What a good opportunity! He definitely could not miss it! When the middle-aged man thought of this, he quickly turned around and said, ¡°An Xuan, I have a task for you. Go to the dinner with Young Master Zou!¡± ¡°But, Manager, I¡¯ve already agreed to go out for dinner with my boyfriend,¡± An Xuan said. ¡°You can eat with your boyfriend anytime!¡± Manager Li said sternly. ¡°This task is very important and involves a major contract. Therefore, it¡¯ll be linked to your salary and year-end bonus!¡± Hearing this, An Xuan¡¯s body could not help but freeze. She had to send a sum of money home every month, and coupled with her own expenses¡­ Her bonus and salary were too important to her. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go to the dinner party,¡± she said in a low voice as she bit her red lip. Lin Fan said softly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Then, he glanced at Manager Li and Zou Zheng. He said, ¡°I¡¯m worried about my girlfriend¡¯s safety, so I¡¯ll go with her. Is that okay? ¡°If you can¡¯t even agree to this, then I can only suspect that you¡¯re up to no good with my girlfriend. In that case, I¡¯ll ask her to resign tomorrow.¡± Manager Li could not help but look at Zou Zheng. ¡°If you want to come, then come.¡± Zou Zheng sneered. In fact, he had no intention of taking advantage of An Xuan today. After all, it was a society ruled by law. As long as he did something out of line, he would definitely lose. The gains outweighed the losses. Zou Zheng¡¯s goal was to show An Xuan how extravagant his life was. At the same time, it also made Lin Fan understand how big the gap between him and him was! Manager Li hesitated for a moment and asked, ¡°Then¡­ Can I go with you too?¡± This dinner was really too important to the company. He was worried that An Xuan, a female employee, would not be able to look at the big picture. ¡°Sure,¡± Zou Zheng replied. After all, since Lin Fan was coming along, it did not matter if there was another person. Moreover, Manager Li could also play a role in restraining An Xuan. ¡°Thank you, Young Master Zou!¡± Manager Li said happily. ¡°By the way, Young Master Zou, do we have a place for today¡¯s dinner?¡± ¡°Imperial Hotel,¡± Zou Zheng said. Manager Li immediately gave him a thumbs up and praised, ¡°The Imperial Hotel is the icon of Jiang Bei. It¡¯s also the most upscale restaurant. I¡¯ve never been willing to go in and eat¡­ As expected of Young Master Zou!¡± Zou Zheng could not help but smile proudly. He thought to himself, ¡®It was indeed the right decision to let Manager Li come along!¡¯ Then, he did not forget to look at Lin Fan arrogantly. Chapter 233 - Chapter 233 Faster and Safer! Chapter 233 Faster and Safer! When Lin Fan heard Zou Zheng¡¯s words, he had a strange look on his face. Dinner at the Imperial Hotel? Was that not his hotel? Zou Zheng was having dinner at his hotel? Manager Li did not notice the change in Lin Fan¡¯s expression at all. He said ingratiatingly, ¡°Young Master Zou, my car is in front. Do you need me to drive you to the Imperial Hotel?¡± ¡°No need.¡± Zou Zheng waved his hand. Then, he took out his car key and pressed it lightly. Suddenly, the fiery red Porsche 911 in the distance lit up its taillights and let out a beep. Manager Li praised again, ¡°Porsche 911! F*ck, Young Master Zou, you¡¯re awesome!¡± Zou Zheng could not help but reveal a smug smile again. He then said to An Xuan, ¡°It¡¯s getting late. Lil Xuan, you should be very hungry, right? My Porsche 911 is faster and safer¡­ I¡¯ll drive you to the Imperial Hotel.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not hungry yet,¡± An Xuan said. ¡°I¡¯ll just take my boyfriend¡¯s car.¡± As she spoke, her pretty face could not help but blush. Obviously, she was still not used to the word ¡®boyfriend¡¯. Then, An Xuan got into Lin Fan¡¯s Santana as if she was escaping. Lin Fan did not hesitate and got into the driver¡¯s seat. Zou Zheng looked at the ugly silhouette of the Santana and the pretty face of An Xuan from the car window, his face full of jealousy. He slowly walked toward his Porsche 911. After starting the engine¡­ Zou Zheng stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped forward like a roaring beast. Zou Zheng was moving at top speed. He looked at the green belt that was constantly retreating on both sides and sneered, ¡°Lin Fan, eat my dust!¡± As he spoke, Zou Zheng could not help but glance at the rearview mirror. He wanted to see the scene of Santana being completely left behind by him. However, Zou Zheng could not find the Santana after searching for a while. ¡°It seems like I¡¯ve already shaken you off. You¡¯re so slow!¡± He grinned. Then, he turned his attention back to the front. However, at this moment, Zou Zheng¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted. ¡°What is it? How is that possible?¡± He realized that the ugly Santana was right in front of him! That was right¡­ It was right in front of him. ¡°Humph! No matter how you got to the front, I¡¯llsoon leave you far behind!¡± Zou Zheng stepped on the accelerator, and the Porsche 911 immediately let out a beast-like roar. However, on city roads, how could one increase the speed by simply stepping on the accelerator? In front of Zou Zheng, there were cars on both sides of him. He could not overtake them and could only keep a distance from Lin Fan. After driving through a few corners, he suddenly realized that the distance between him and the Santana did not shorten. Instead, it was getting longer and longer. Seeing this¡­ Zou Zheng became extremely anxious. Was he going to let the Santana stay ahead of him just like that? No! Absolutely not! This was a disgrace! Therefore, even though there were a few cars ahead, Zou Zheng still stepped on the gas pedal and prepared to overtake them. Soon, he overtook one car, then two cars¡­ When Zou Zheng tried to overtake the third car, he accidentally crashed into the car next to him. Bang! Instantly, the entire front of the car was smashed into pieces. In the car next to him, a man with a buzz cut walked out aggressively and shouted, ¡°Do you even know how to drive? Do you think you¡¯re amazing just because you drive a Porsche?¡± Zou Zheng knew that he was in the wrong. Besides, he did not dare to refute the man when he saw his fierce expression. At this moment, Manager Li, who had been following behind, slowly parked the car beside them. ¡°Young Master Zou, are you alright?¡± he asked with concern. At this moment, Lin Fan turn around from the front and walk to the side. He looked like he was watching a show. He looked at the broken Porsche 911 and then his gaze fell on Zou Zheng. It was as if he was saying, ¡°Zou Zheng, is this the Porsche 911 that you said is safe and fast? Fortunately, I didn¡¯t let An Xuan sit in your car.¡¯ At this moment, silence was better than anything else! Zou Zheng seemed to have read Lin Fan¡¯s expression, and his face turned red. At this moment, an officer rode a motorcycle over from afar. ¡°What happened here?¡± ¡°He tried to overtake me by force and then hit me!¡± The man with the buzz cut pointed at Zou Zheng. ¡°I have a dashcam.¡± After investigating for a while, the officer quickly came to a conclusion and said to Zou Zheng, ¡°You didn¡¯t follow the traffic rules. You¡¯ll take full responsibility. Three points will be deducted and you¡¯ll be fined 200 yuan.¡± At this moment, Zou Zheng only wanted to end this matter as soon as possible, so he nodded and said, ¡°Alright!¡± After the officer and the man with a buzz cut left, Zou Zheng turned to Manager Li and said, ¡°Manager Li, lend me your car. Take my car to the repair shop.¡± Manager Li opened his mouth but did not immediately agree. He was worried after seeing Zou Zheng¡¯s driving skills. Zou Zheng¡¯s Da Tong Company was indeed a big client that his company needed to win over. However, he was just a manager of the company. What if¡­ Zou Zheng also crashed his own car? Even if he managed to win a contract with Da Tong, it would still be a loss for him. ¡°Tsk!¡± At this moment, a tow truck drove over from afar. ¡°Young Master Zou, we¡¯ll get the tow truck to tow your Porsche 911 back,¡± Manager Li said. Zou Zheng did not think too much about it and nodded casually. At this point, the car race and accident came to an end. When Zou Zheng, Lin Fan, and the others arrived at the Imperial Hotel, two men dressed in branded clothes were already waiting in the lobby. When Manager Li saw them, his eyes lit up slightly as he said happily, ¡°Young Master Du, Young Master Pang, hello!¡± However, the two of them did not seem to hear him. They only glanced at him indifferently and did not speak at all. Between them, Young Master Du, who was taller, scolded, ¡°Zou Zheng, what¡¯s going on? You¡¯re so late!¡± ¡°Yeah, we¡¯ve been waiting for a long time,¡± Young Master Pang said. Zou Zheng was also a little embarrassed. ¡°There was an accident just now. In order to express my apology, I¡¯ll drink a big glass of wine to apologize to you later!¡± When the two of them heard this, they revealed a satisfied expression. Then, Zou Zheng led everyone to the front desk. During this time, he did not forget to look at Lin Fan provocatively. It was as if he was saying, ¡®Kid, I¡¯ll let you experience such a high-end place today! I¡¯ll let you see the difference between us!¡¯ ¡°Pretty lady, please arrange a private room for us.¡± Zou Zheng said. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, our private rooms have been booked,¡± the receptionist said apologetically. Zou Zheng felt a little regretful. He turned to the crowd and said, ¡°Shall we sit in the hall?¡± At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from afar. Then, an extremely excited voice came from behind the group of people. ¡°You¡¯re here?¡± Chapter 234 - Chapter 234 Luxury Private Room; Order! Chapter 234 Luxury Private Room; Order! Zou Zheng, Lin Fan, and the others turned around when they heard the voice. The waiter at the side said respectfully, ¡°Hello, General Manager!¡± Zou Zheng, Young Master Pang, Young Master and the others were shocked. Du, The general manager! The general manager of the Imperial Hotel! One had to know¡­ The Imperial Hotel was a landmark hotel in Jiangbei. It was extremely luxurious, and its construction price was probably more than ten billion! The general manager of such a hotel was definitely an amazing big shot! Even Zou Zheng¡¯s father could not compare to him. Now, he had actually appeared in front of them! Compared to the shock of the crowd, Lin Fan remained calm. ¡°The waiter just said that there are no more ordinary private rooms, right?¡± he asked. ¡°I heard that the Imperial Hotel has a large luxury private room¡­ ¡°Young Master Zou is treating today. He¡¯s the young master of Da Tong Company, so he¡¯s not short of money! There¡¯s no need to help him save money.¡± What kind of person was Wang Fengyi? When he heard Lin Fan say that, he thought about it and reacted. Young Master Zou was probably showing off, so Lin Fan did not want to expose his identity just yet. Hence, Wang Fengyi said, ¡°Young Master Zou, there¡¯s a luxurious private room on the 66th floor of our Imperial Hotel. You can go up now and watch the sunset. You can also enjoy the night view later. Shall I bring you up now?¡± ¡°What? Alright, then let¡¯s go up!¡± Zou Zheng was stunned for a moment. He had never thought that a big shot like Wang Fengyi would be so polite to him. He even wanted to personally bring them to the private room. Sitting in the high-end elevator, if it was not for the number on the display screen increasing, everyone would not know that the elevator was going up. It was very smooth. When the elevator door opened, the words 66F appeared in front of everyone. Entering VIP Room 8, everyone looked at the spacious room, the brilliant diamond-shaped chandelier, and the luxurious tables and chairs¡­ Other than Lin Fan, everyone else had a look of shock on their faces. ¡°Young Master Zou, are you satisfied with this private room?¡± Wang Fengyi asked. Although he was asking Zou Zheng, his gaze was on Lin Fan. When he saw Lin Fan nod his head, Wang Fengyi¡¯s face was filled with joy. ¡°I¡¯m satisfied! I¡¯m very satisfied!¡± Zou Zhengdao. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll bring the menu over now!¡± Wang Fengyi said. Then, he turned around and prepared to leave the private room. Soon, he seemed to have thought of something and said, ¡°By the way, the minimum cost for this VIP room is 88,888 yuan. Is that okay?¡± 88,888 yuan? Zou Zheng¡¯s body trembled slightly. One had to know¡­ His family¡¯s Da Tong Company was only worth a hundred million yuan. This was the market value of the company. Their family¡¯s total assets were only tens of millions. He had begged his parents at home for a long time before they agreed to buy the Porsche 911. Zou Zheng¡¯s heart was bleeding from the collision earlier. He wondered how much it would cost to repair the Porsche 911. Now¡­ Eating in a private room with a minimum spend of 88,888 yuan? 88,888 yuan! His monthly allowance was only 100,000 yuan. What should he do after this meal? However, he had already said that he was very satisfied with the private room. Could it be that he was going to leave now? Then what would Young Master Pang and Young Master Du think of him? What would An Xuan think of him? Thinking of this¡­ ¡°No problem!¡± Zou Zheng finally gritted his teeth. Wang Fengyi nodded and left the private room. At this moment, Manager Li, who had been silent all this while, immediately gave him a thumbs up and praised, ¡°A private room with a minimum spend of 88,888 yuan! Forget about eating here, I¡¯ve never even heard of this private room before. Today, I¡¯ve completely opened my eyes! Young Master Zou, you¡¯re amazing!¡± Zou Zheng could not help but reveal a smug expression. ¡°It¡¯s just 88,888 yuan. It¡¯s nothing! Of course, for some people, that might not be the case! This meal might be their annual income.¡± As he spoke, his gaze landed on Lin Fan. ¡°Zou Zheng, did your dad¡¯s Da Tong Company receive a big business deal recently?¡± Young Master Du asked. ¡°Or have you hooked up with someone?¡± Zou Zheng did not pay attention to the situation in his own company at all. He said vaguely, ¡°Uhh¡­ Did it? I don¡¯t know either.¡± ¡°That must be the case! Otherwise, the general manager of the Imperial Hotel wouldn¡¯t have personally brought us to the private room after hearing Da Tong Company¡¯s name. Zou Zheng, no! Brother Zheng, if anything good happens to you in the future, don¡¯t forget us!¡± Young Master Pang said. Young Master Du followed closely, ¡°Yes!¡± Don¡¯t forget about us!¡± Then, he picked up the tea on the table and said, ¡°Brother Zou Zheng, the wine hasn¡¯t been served yet. There¡¯s only a cup of tea here. Let me toast you first!¡± ¡°Yes, a toast to Brother Zou Zheng!¡± Young Master Pang also picked up his teacup. Zou Zheng listened to the two of them call him ¡®Brother Zheng¡¯ and looked at them seriously serving him tea. He was so happy. He thought to himself, ¡®This 88,888 yuan is worth it!¡¯ Then, he picked up his teacup and said, ¡°You¡¯re too polite!¡± Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t forget you in the future!¡± At this moment, Wang Fengyi slowly walked in with a heavy menu. In the past, Young Master Pang and Young Master Du would definitely not stand on ceremony and take the menu. Then, they would directly order according to their preferences. However, today, they handed the menu to Zou Zheng and asked him to order. Zou Zheng enjoyed this treatment very much. He ordered a few dishes that he liked and handed the menu to An Xuan. ¡°Lil Xuan, you can order whatever you want to eat and drink!¡± After saying that, he seemed to feel that it was not heroic enough and said, ¡°The minimum spend is 88,888 yuan, but you don¡¯t have to order according to that standard. That¡¯s just the minimum spend.¡± Zou Zheng¡¯s tone was calm. It looked like 88,888 yuan was just a few yuan in his eyes. He wanted to let An Xuan know how rich he was and how much of a superior life she could lead if she became his girlfriend. However¡­ What Zou Zheng did not know was that An Xuan had never been a vain person. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to order,¡± she said lightly. Lin Fan took the menu and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll order for you!¡± An Xuan could not help but be stunned for a moment, but she did not say anything. Lin Fan pointed at the menu and said, ¡°I want this, this, and this.¡± After thinking for a moment, he muttered, ¡°I heard Lil Xuan say that drinking good red wine can make one look good¡­ But the wine here just seems so expensive¡­¡± ¡°Give me a bottle of the best red wine you have!¡± Zou Zheng waved his hand. In his opinion, even the best red wine, such as Lafite¡­ should only be tens of thousands of yuan. Adding on the dishes that cost tens of thousands of yuan, the final price would be less than 100,000 yuan. It was completely affordable. After all, the minimum cost of this private room was 88,888 yuan. However, he could use this opportunity to show his love for An Xuan in front of her. Zou Zheng could already see An Xuan falling in love with him and throwing herself at him. Chapter 235 - 235 Mr. Lin Greeted Him! 235 Mr. Lin Greeted Him! Then, Young Master Pang, Young Master Du, and Manager Li also ordered a few dishes and a few bottles of wine. Wang Fengyi noted down everyone¡¯s orders before leaving the private room. It had to be said that the Imperial Hotel was indeed a landmark hotel in Jiangbei. After a while, delicate-looking dishes that could even be said to have an artistic aura were served one after another. Everyone looked at the dishes on the table and smelled the fragrance in the air. They could not help but drool. However, Young Master Pang and Young Master Du suppressed the urge to taste the food. First, they poured a glass of Maotai each and said, ¡°Brother Zou Zheng, let me toast you first.¡± Manager Li, who was at the side, also quickly raised his glass and said, ¡°Young Master Zou Zheng, a toast to you.¡± So many people toasted him together, including Young Master Pang and Young Master Du Zou Zheng was so happy that he could not close his mouth. He said, ¡°Hahaha! You¡¯re too polite, you¡¯re too polite!¡± As he spoke, he also poured himself a glass of liquor and said, ¡°Let¡¯s all drink!¡± The four of them clinked their glasses lightly and downed the contents in one gulp. Then, Zou Zheng looked at the Australian lobster on the table that was emitting wisps of smoke and was carved like an angel. He said, ¡°Lil Xuan, this dish looks good. Do you want to try it?¡± ¡°Lil Xuan, Young Master Zou is so concerned about you. Why aren¡¯t you thanking him?¡± Manager Li chimed in. Originally, An Xuan did not want to bother with Zou Zheng. However, after hearing Manager Li¡¯s words, she could only say, ¡°Thank you, Young Master Zou.¡± Then, she picked up her chopsticks and picked up a small piece of lobster meat before putting it in her mouth. ¡°Hahaha! Why are you being so polite with me?¡± Zou Zheng laughed. At this moment, Wang Fengyi and a waiter walked in. Wang Fengyi was holding a decanter, while the waiter was holding a bottle of red wine with English words written all over it. ¡°Young Master Zou, this is the red wine you wanted. Do you want to open it now?¡± Wang Fengyi asked. ¡°It¡¯s the best, isn¡¯t it?¡± Zou Zheng raised his head. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Wang Fengyi said. Zou Zheng could not help but look at Lin Fan arrogantly. It was as if he was saying, ¡®I can easily give Lil Xuan the best. What about you?¡¯ ¡°Alright, open it!¡± Zou Zheng said. When the waiter heard this, he carefully opened it. Boom! With a soft sound, the cork was finally taken out. Then, the waiter poured the dark red wine into the decanter. Zou Zheng said. ¡°This is the best wine in the Imperial Hotel. It¡¯s definitely good. Lil Xuan, try it.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know how to drink,¡± An Xuan said. ¡°Lil Xuan, who doesn¡¯t drink when eating?¡± Manager Li asked. ¡°Besides, this is the red wine that Young Master Zou specially ordered for you. You have to drink some!¡± As he spoke, Manager Li picked up the decanter and poured a glass of wine for An Xuan. Then, he poured himself another glass of wine and said, ¡°Look¡­ I¡¯m drinking it too! Everyone must drink it!¡± In fact, this was just one of the reasons why he picked up the decanter to pour wine for An Xuan. After all, Wang Fengyi had just said that this was the best red wine in the Imperial Hotel. Its price was probably tens of thousands of yuan per bottle. How could he not drink such precious red wine? Then, he poured a glass for Zou Zheng, Young Master Pang, Young Master Du, and Lin Fan. This action was to fulfill what he had just said. Everyone had to drink. Young Master Pang, Young Master Du, and the others were also curious about the best red wine in the Imperial Hotel. They all raised their wine glasses and took a sip. ¡°Good wine!¡± they exclaimed. ¡°Delicious!¡± ¡°If it¡¯s good, then drink more,¡± Zou Zheng said with a smile. After saying that, he took a sip. Zou Zheng, Young Master Pang, Young Master Du, Manager Li, and the others chatted with each other. The atmosphere in the private room was extremely lively. Lin Fan was the only one sitting in the corner, eating quietly. An Xuan felt that Lin Fan was too lonely and was being bullied by Zou Zheng. She could not help but feel bad. Thus, An Xuan picked up her wine glass and whispered, ¡°Thank you. Let me toast you.¡± In reality, how was Lin Fan lonely? To Lin Fan, not being disturbed while eating was a good thing. As for being angered by Zou Zheng? Lin Fan did not care at all. However, he still put down his chopsticks in the face of An Xuan¡¯s toast and said, ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± As he spoke, Lin Fan picked up the glass and swayed it gently. Then, he gently poured the red wine into his mouth. Lin Fan¡¯s series of actions were all seen by An Xuan. In her eyes, Lin Fan did not seem to be wearing casual clothes and sitting in a noisy private room. Instead, he had transformed into a noble in a luxurious black suit. He was sitting at a table that was more than ten meters long and leisurely tasting fine wine. Lin Fan¡¯s movements were so elegant that An Xuan was a little mesmerized. [Skill: Drinking Gentleman, full of charming aura!] After drinking the wine, Lin Fan could not help but nod his head and say softly, ¡°It¡¯s silky, sweet, and mellow. As expected of a bottle from Chateau Margaux.¡± Even though he did not look at the bottle,Lin Fan, who had Drinking Gentleman, only needed a sip to immediately recognize the origin of this bottle of wine. After Lin Fan drank some soup, his stomach started to swell. Hence, he got up and went to the washroom outside. When Lin Fan came out of the washroom, he heard a surprised voice. When Lin Fan heard the voice, he could not help but turn around. He tried to recall where he had seen this person before. Back then Lin Fan accepted Chairman Da Ma and Chairman Xiao Ma¡¯s invitation. When he entered the venue of the internet conference, both chairmen had personally come up to him and shook hands. Although it was just a quick glance,Lin Fan remembered that the middle-aged man in front of him now had sat next to him back then. Even though Lin Fan recognized him, he did not know his name at all. Thus, he asked in a slightly puzzled tone, ¡°And you are?¡± The middle-aged man said excitedly, ¡°Mr. Lin, I attended the internet conference in Jiangbei. I saw you at the conference. My name is Jiang Cheng.¡± No wonder he was so excited. Back then, Chairman Da Ma and Chairman Xiao Ma had personally stepped down from the stage to shake hands with Lin Fan and greet him. Jiang Cheng was extremely shocked. After all Chairman Da Ma and Chairman Xiao Ma¡­ They could be said to be the supreme big shots of the internet industry in the country. If even two supreme beings had to take the initiative to welcome this young man, then what sort of status did Lin Fan have? It could be said that Lin Fan¡¯s appearance had been carved into the depths of Jiang Cheng¡¯s mind. He wanted to meet Lin Fan again. If he could establish a relationship with Lin Fan, it would be a great thing for him. Unexpectedly¡­ Today, it had become reality! Lin Fan looked like he had just realized something and said, ¡°So, it¡¯s you, Mr. Jiang. Hello.¡± When Jiang Chengyan heard this, his slightly weathered face flushed with excitement. Mr. Lin actually greeted him! Chapter 236 - 236 Toast; Suspicion! 236 Toast; Suspicion! In contrast to Jiang Cheng¡¯s excitement, Lin Fan remained calm. Lin Fan continued chatting for a while before turning around and leaving. Jiang Cheng stood at the same spot and looked at Lin Fan respectfully. When Lin Fan walked into the room, he slowly retracted his gaze. At this moment, Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to give Lin Fan his name card. He was filled with regret. Thus, Jiang Cheng hurriedly walked toward his private room and prepared to pick up his glass to give a toast to Lin Fan in his private room. He would also hand over his name card. ¡­ At this moment, in the big private room. A few men in suits and leather shoes asked with concern when they saw Jiang Cheng return, ¡°President Jiang, are you okay?¡± Obviously, they thought that Jiang Cheng had drunk too much and went to the bathroom to throw up. Jiang Cheng waved his hand. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just met a friend. I¡¯ll go and give him a toast first!¡± As he spoke, he picked up his glass and a bottle of Maotai. He was about to walk out. In the private room, someone immediately stood up. ¡°President Jiang¡¯s friend is also my friend. I¡¯ll also go over and make a toast!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go too!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go together!¡± After one person spoke, everyone quickly stood up. ¡°No need, I¡¯ll be back soon¡± Jiang Cheng said hesitantly. ¡°The main thing is that you don¡¯t know each other¡± That was because he did not know if they would disturb Lin Fan or even make him unhappy if so many people went to toast him. If it was any other time, everyone would know that Jiang Cheng did not want them to follow him. However, everyone had drunk too much, so their reactions were slower by half a beat. ¡°So what?¡± Someone laughed. ¡°We¡¯ll get to know each other after a drink!¡± Then, everyone continued to walk outside. When Jiang Cheng saw thisHe knew that he could not persuade them. In addition, he felt that it was not a bad choice to let everyone go over and toast together. This was because it would show Lin Fan even more respect. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go together, then.¡± Jiang Cheng reminded them, ¡°However, don¡¯t make a racket later. You have to maintain sufficient courtesy and respect! Don¡¯t undermine him just because he¡¯s young!¡± Although everyone drank a little too much,when they heard Jiang Cheng¡¯s clear and serious reminder, they all understood that the person who they were going to toast later probably had a powerful background. Therefore, everyone immediately put away their playful thoughts and nodded repeatedly. After a while, they arrived at the door of VIP Room 8. Jiang Cheng first tidied his clothes before slowly knocking on the door. ¡­ Zou Zheng, Young Master Pang, Young Master Du, Manager Li, and the others were drinking and chatting happily. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. ¡°Is there still food?¡± Zou Zheng asked curiously. ¡°Come in!¡± Creak! Then, Jiang Cheng and a large group of people walked in with glasses and a bottle of Maotai. Jiang Cheng first swept his gaze across the private room. When he saw Lin Fan¡¯s figure, his face could not help but reveal a hint of respect. ¡°Knowing that you¡¯re here, I felt that I had to come over and offer a toast. Otherwise, it would be a little rude I hope I¡¯m not disturbing you,¡± Jiang Cheng said carefully. ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± Lin Fan said casually. When Jiang Chengyan heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he raised his glass and proposed a toast. ¡°Who are you?¡± Zou Zheng asked. Initially, Jiang Cheng was still thinking about how he should pass his name card to Lin Fan. At this moment, after hearing Zou Zheng¡¯s words, he was slightly happy and said, ¡°I¡¯m Jiang Cheng from the internet industry.¡± After saying that, he took out the business cards he had prepared and gave them to Zou Zheng, Young Master Pang, Young Master Du, Lin Fan, Manager Li, An Xuan, and the others. To Jiang Cheng, anyone who could eat with Lin Fan must have an extraordinary status. Therefore, his attitude was always very respectful. When the people standing behind Jiang Cheng saw this, they also handed over their business cards and introduced themselves. ¡°I¡¯m Zheng Wenxiang from Qingzhou Information.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Liu Kui from Aishang Technology.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Wang Handong from Jiahua Software.¡± ¡­ Jiang Cheng was extremely excited when he saw Lin Fan accept his name card. He raised his glass and said, ¡°This toast is to you!¡± After saying that, he directly downed the contents of the glass in one gulp. Then, he poured himself another glass of Maotai and said, ¡°This glass is for everyone!¡± He drank another full glass. Zheng Wenxiang and the others behind him did not dare to hesitate at all. They drank the contents in their glasses one after another and said, ¡°To everyone!¡± Even though Jiang Cheng wished he could stay with Lin Fan forever, he knew that going too far was as bad as not being able to do enough. If Lin Fan was annoyed by this, then it would be too late for regrets. Therefore, Jiang Cheng said, ¡°I won¡¯t disturb you anymore¡± After saying that, he and the others slowly retreated. It was also at this moment that Young Master Pang, Young Master Du, Manager Li, and the others finally recovered from their doubts. They all lowered their heads to look at the business cards. It did not matter if they had not taken a look, but after they did, their eyes widened! Jiang Cheng, the CEO of Usual Network! Zheng Wenxiang, the CEO of Qingzhou Information! The CEO of Aishang Technology, Liu Kui! Wang Handong, the CEO of Jiahua Software! ¡­ The group of people just now were all the presidents of various companies! Young Master Du pointed at a business card and shouted, ¡°F*ck! I know Aishang Technology. I heard that their company is about to be listed on the A-share market!¡± They were a company that was about to be listed on the A-share market. Just this sentence alone easily showed the strength of Aishang Technology. ¡°Qingzhou Information seems to have thousands of employees!¡± Young Master Pang shouted. ¡°Also¡­ the super popular games from last year seem to have been developed by them!¡± The two of them shouted repeatedly, their faces filled with surprise. These companies were all very large, and their chairmen¡­ They actually came to their private room to give a toast? This¡­ This¡­ It had completely exceeded their imagination. One had to know Even their fathers were not qualified to be sitting in this position! They would even toast the chairmen instead! What was going on now? Young Master Pang and Young Master Du looked at each other and then turned to look at Zou Zheng. ¡°Brother Zou Zheng, could it be that your Da Tong Company has reached a close cooperation with Little Tanuki or Penguin?¡± Young Master Pang could not help but ask. It was no wonder that they were so suspicious. Usual Network, Qingzhou Information, Aishang Technology Company, Jiahua Software These were all internet companies. The people who could make the chairmen of these Internet companies personally curry favor could only be large internet companies or companies related to them. Young Master Du and Young Master Pang knew about their families¡¯ situation, which was why they suspected Zou Zheng¡¯s family. After all, they had already suspected that Zou Zheng had found a strong backer. Otherwise, the general manager of the Imperial Hotel would not have personally served them. Chapter 237 - 237 The Identity of the Person They Toasted; Shocking! 237 The Identity of the Person They Toasted; Shocking! Zou Zheng looked at Young Master Du and Young Master Pang¡¯s excited and worshipful expressions. He was completely smug and believed it! That was right! It must be that his family had reached a close cooperation with super giants such as Little Tanuki and Penguin. Therefore, the chairmen of those internet companies came over to toast him after learning from the general manager of the Imperial Hotel that he was eating in this private room! Zou Zheng grinned. ¡°A while ago, my dad did say that he wanted to work with some big companies, but I didn¡¯t ask which companies they were.¡± Zou Zheng said. Young Master Du and Young Master Pang¡¯s faces immediately revealed an expression that seemed to say, ¡®As expected.¡¯ ¡°Brother Zou Zheng, you have to take care of me in the future!¡± Young Master Du said. ¡°Brother Zou Zheng, please take care of me!¡± Young Master Pang said. ¡°No problem!¡± Zou Zheng laughed. Young Master Du and Young Master Pang were very happy when they heard this. Then, they raised their glasses and said, ¡°Brother Zou Zheng, let me toast you!¡± Compared to Young Master Du and Young Master Pang¡¯s excitement, Manager Li¡¯s face was filled with confusion. Zou Zheng¡¯s family¡¯s Da Tong Company was a snack company. Its scale was only average, and its market value was only slightly more than 100 million. The companies owned by that group of people were all very large in scale. Their market value was probably in the hundreds of millions or billions¡­ It might even be more than billions! Why would a group of big bosses come personally to toast Zou Zheng? Even if Zou Zheng went to toast them, they might not respond. As for Zou Zheng¡¯s family¡¯s Da Tong Company having a deep partnership with Little Tanuki or Penguin, that was even more impossible. When had one ever heard of an elephant and an ant becoming good friends? Was that not a joke? They were not on the same level at all, alright? Then, Manager Li could not help but slowly recall the scene when the group of directors came in. Chairman Jiang Cheng, who was standing at the front, seemed to have been talking to the left Zou Zheng was on the right, and the person on the left was¡­ Manager Li¡¯s gaze landed on Lin Fan, and his expression changed. It had to be said that Manager Li was indeed someone who had been in the workplace for many years. His observation and analysis skills were far superior to ordinary people. After a while, Manager Li hesitated and said, ¡°Cough cough, I¡¯ve been forgetting to ask. You are¡­¡± Lin Fan put his chopsticks aside and replied casually, ¡°I¡¯m Lil Xuan¡¯s boyfriend, Lin Fan.¡± ¡°So, you¡¯re Mr. Lin. I wonder what kind of job you do?¡± Manager Li asked. ¡°I drive on DiDi,¡± Lin Fan said. Zou Zheng, Young Master Du, and Young Master Pang heard their conversation. Instantly, Zou Zheng looked at Lin Fan with disdain. Manager Li was stunned by Lin Fan¡¯s reply. DiDi? Could it be that this rich second-generation heir was pretending to be low-key? Manager Li thought for a moment and said, ¡°So, you¡¯re Lil Xuan¡¯s boyfriend. I wonder what your parents do for a living?¡± Hearing this, An Xuan pricked up her ears. She seemed to be curious about this question as well. ¡°They run a small clothing store in Qing City,¡± Lin Fan said. Manager Li heard Lin Fan¡¯s normal reply and was stunned. From Lin Fan¡¯s expression, it did not seem like he was lying. In other words, he was really just an ordinary driver with no big background. The chairmen really did come because of Zou Zheng! Perhaps Da Tong Company really got their hands on an incredible opportunity! Zou Zheng saw that Manager Li was chatting with Lin Fan. He frowned and asked, ¡°Why? Are you fond of him, Manager Li?¡± Manager Li could easily hear the unhappiness in Zou Zheng¡¯s tone. He shifted his eyes and said obsequiously, ¡°Yeah, I think Lin Fan is tall and strong. He¡¯s very suitable to be a security guard in our company¡± Now that Manager Li had confirmed Lin Fan¡¯s identity, he sided with Zou Zheng without any hesitation. ¡°Security guard? Haha! Needless to say, this job is very suitable for him! Lin Fan, when the time comes, I¡¯ll ask their company¡¯s CEO to give you a salary of 5,000 yuan. How about it? It¡¯s a higher salary than what you¡¯re getting now, no?¡± Zou Zheng laughed. Lin Fan glanced at the two of them and said calmly, ¡°I think you guys are more suitable to be security guards.¡± ¡°Hahaha! Is that so? But I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t have this chance in my life!¡± Zou Zheng laughed like he had just heard the biggest joke in the world. ¡­ On the other hand, Jiang Cheng led the other chairmen out of VIP Room 8 and returned to their own private room. At this moment, the short and fat Zheng Wenxiang could not help but ask, ¡°President Jiang, who exactly is the person we just toasted¡­¡± All the chairmen in the private room pricked up their ears. Obviously, they were also very curious about this. The people in VIP Room 8 were all too young. The only person who was slightly older looked like an ordinary manager. When Jiang Cheng heard Zheng Wenxiang¡¯s question, he could not help but think of the scene at the internet conference where Chairman Da Ma and Chairman Xiao Ma personally came down from the stage to shake hands with Lin Fan and greet him. At the same time, he recalled the scene of Lin Fan accepting his name card. He was so excited that his heart was beating faster. What if If Lin Fan was interested in him, it would be a huge opportunity for him! ¡°You all attended the internet conference in Jiangbei, didn¡¯t you?¡± Jiang Cheng asked excitedly. ¡°We did,¡± all the chairmen answered. The confusion on their faces deepened. What did those young people have to do with the internet conference? ¡°Then do you remember when Chairman Da Ma and Chairman Xiao Ma were speaking on stage, they suddenly stepped down to welcome a young man and took the initiative to shake his hand?¡± Jiang Cheng asked. The chairmen seemed to have thought of something. Their pupils constricted slightly as they said in surprise, ¡°You mean¡± ¡°That Mr. Lin in the white casual outfit earlier is that young man!¡± Jiang Cheng nodded. All the chairmen gasped when they heard this. They knew very well what it meant for top-notch big shots like Chairman Da Ma and Chairman Xiao Ma to personally welcome someone However, they were sitting quite far away, so they did not see Lin Fan¡¯s appearance clearly. However, that did not mean that they did not pay attention to Lin Fan. On the contrary After the internet conference, they had been asking about Lin Fan. Furthermore, some people knew that because of Lin Fan, there was an unprecedented gathering of a group of internet big shots like Chairman Da Ma, Chairman Xiao Ma, the chairman of Weibo, the chairman of Buying, and the chairman of Hungry! Some people even called it a trillion-dollar gathering! All of this showed that Lin Fan¡¯s status was extraordinary. He was definitely a super big shot! As for themselves Just now, they gave this big shot They toasted and handed over their name cards? Just thinking about it the chairmen were excited! Chapter 238 - 238 Another Bottle; Reason! 238 Another Bottle; Reason! VIP Room 8. Zou Zheng, Young Master Du, Young Master Pang, Manager Li, and the others chatted as they ate, occasionally letting out a hearty laughter. After Young Master Pang finished the last drop of red wine, he smacked his lips and praised again, ¡°As expected of the best red wine in the Imperial Hotel!¡± ¡°Young Master Pang likes it, so let¡¯s have another bottle!¡± Zou Zheng smiled. After saying that, he turned to press the service button. After a while, General Manager Wang Fengyi walked in. ¡°Is there anything you need?¡± Wang Fengyi smiled as he looked at Lin Fan. ¡°Give me another bottle of this red wine!¡± Zou Zheng waved his hand. His thinking was simple. A bottle of red wine was worth just 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. The dishes on the table were estimated to be only 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. It was still far from reaching the point where the minimum expenditure was 88,888 yuan. A bottle of the same red wine would only bring up the cost to a little more than 100,000 yuan. In addition, his family had already reached a close cooperation with giant companies such as Penguin and Little Tanuki. Buying an extra bottle of wine was nothing at all. When Wang Fengyi heard this, a strange expression appeared on his face. He asked, ¡°Another bottle of red wine?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Zou Zheng replied. After Wang Fengyi received confirmation, he finally nodded and said, ¡°Alright.¡± After a while, a bottle of the same red wine was brought in by the waiter. Then, he carefully poured it into the decanter. After a round of drinking Zou Zheng, Young Master Pang, Young Master Du, Manager Li, and the others walked out. During this time, Zou Zheng even deliberately glanced at Lin Fan from the corner of his eye. Lin Fan seemed to be a little listless as he followed behind him. ¡®Kid, now you know the difference between us, right?¡¯ Ding! The elevator went down quickly. After a soft sound, it slowly opened. Then, Zou Zheng took the lead and strode toward the cashier in the lobby. The next moment, his eyes fell on a middle-aged man in a black suit in the hall. ¡°Dad!¡± Zou Zheng exclaimed in surprise. Right now, the thing he wanted to do the most was to hurry home and ask his father who Da Tong Company was working with. He did not expect to meet his father before he even reached home. Zou Daqiang was surprised to see his son here. One had to know This was the Imperial Hotel, and the expenses were very high. Even Zou Daqiang would only choose the Imperial Hotel for important business events. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Daqiang Zou asked. Zou Zheng said, ¡°I¡¯m treating a few friends to a meal Dad, I have something to ask you. Is our family going to start working with some big companies?¡± Zou Daqiang thought of the people he invited for today¡¯s dinner and nodded slowly. ¡°That¡¯s possible.¡± ¡°Hahaha! Really?¡± Zou Zheng shouted excitedly, ¡°Is it Little Tanuki or Penguin?¡± Young Master Du, Young Master Pang, Manager Li, and the others who were standing at the side also revealed a touch of excitement and pricked up their ears. Zou Daqiang frowned. ¡°Little Tanuki? Penguin? Our family isn¡¯t an internet company!¡± There was still something he did not say in his heart. How could these giant companies cooperate with a small company like theirs? Zou Zheng was stunned. No? Then why would the general manager of the Imperial Hotel personally serve him? Why would the chairmen of those internet companies come over to toast him? ¡°Brother Lin Fan!¡± At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly sounded from afar. Then, a group of men and women in suits and leather shoes, who exuded an extraordinary aura, quickly walked over from afar. Liu Yuhang, the young master of Liu Pharmaceuticals, Zhang Zhou, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, Manager Li, and Song Ping, the chairman of An Xuan¡¯s company, were all among them. The surprised voice came from Liu Yuhang. ¡°Young Master Liu, Chairman Zhang¡­ Hello!¡± Zou Daqiang said respectfully. ¡°Hello, Chairman Song,¡± Manager Li and An Xuan hurriedly said. When Song Ping saw the two of them, he could not help but reveal a hint of surprise. However, he ignored the two of them. It was because he still had more important things to do. That was to accompany the people around him. They were extremely important to the company! ¡°We just met in Qing City a while ago, and now we meet again in Jiangbei! Hahaha!¡± As he spoke, Liu Yuhang placed his hand on Lin Fan¡¯s shoulder. Zhang Zhou, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Instantly, everyone¡¯s attention fell on Lin Fan. Zou Zheng, Young Master Pang, Young Master Du, Manager Li, and the others had a bad feeling. ¡°You¡­ Who exactly are you?¡± Zou Zheng could not help but ask. ¡°Young Master Zou, you¡¯re really forgetful. Am I not just a driver? Oh, I forgot that you and Manager Li agreed that I¡¯m the most suitable person to be a security guard.¡± Everyone present was smart. How could they not understand the meaning behind Lin Fan¡¯s words? Immediately, Zhang Zhou, Liu Yuhang, Zou Daqiang, Song Ping, and the others turned their gazes to Zou Zheng and Manager Li. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became extremely heavy. ¡°In Brother Lin Fan¡¯s hotel, you said that Brother Lin Fan is the most suitable to be a security guard?¡± Liu Yuhang asked coldly. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ve never experienced something like this before, have you?¡± Hearing this, Zou Daqiang, Song Ping, Zou Zheng, Young Master Pang, Young Master Du, and the others felt their hearts pounding. At Brother Lin Fan¡¯s hotel? In other words The Imperial Hotel Was it Lin Fan¡¯s? As if to verify everyone¡¯s guess, the general manager of the Imperial Hotel, Wang Fengyi, walked over from afar and said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± It was also at this moment that the elevator door opened. Jiang Cheng, the chairman of Usual Network, Zheng Wenxiang, the chairman of Qingzhou Information, and the other people who had gone to VIP room 8 to toast strolled out. When they saw Lin Fan in the distance, they quickened their pace. ¡°Greetings, Mr. Lin.¡± At this moment Zou Zheng, Manager Li, Young Master Pang, Young Master Du, and the others finally understood. They finally understood why the general manager of the Imperial Hotel had personally served everyone. That was because Lin Fan was the owner of the Imperial Hotel! They also understood why the group of chairmen had come to the private room to toast them. It was because Lin Fan had an extraordinary status! It was not Zou Zheng¡¯s Da Tong Company at all. Chapter 239 - 239 Apologize; Are We Going Bankrupt? 239 Apologize; Are We Going Bankrupt? This slap was very loud and reverberated in the lobby of the Imperial Hotel. The left side of Zou Zheng¡¯s face quickly turned red and swollen. It was this slap that made Zou Zheng realize that he had offended someone he should not have. Hence, Zou Zheng said in a panic, ¡°Yes I¡¯m sorry. Lin¡­ Mr. Lin.¡± Song Ping, who had been standing at the side without saying a word, shouted in a low voice, ¡°Li Xiong! Quickly apologize to Mr. Lin!¡± At this moment, how much did Song Ping wish that Li Xiong was his son? If that was the case, he could also slap Li Xiong¡¯s face to vent his anger. Manager Li was so frightened that his entire body trembled. A layer of cold sweat instantly seeped out of his forehead as he stuttered, ¡°Lin¡­ Mr. Lin¡­ I¡¯m sorry.¡± At this moment, other than panic, Manager Li also felt endless regret. He had clearly noticed that Jiang Cheng was toasting Lin Fan. WhyWhy did he have to mock Lin Fan? Lin Fan did not care about the thoughts of the two of them at all. ¡°You guys still want to eat, right?¡± he said casually. ¡°I¡¯ve already finished eating, so I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± Then, he turned to An Xuan, who was completely stunned. He said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Ah Ah¡­¡± An Xuan replied stiffly. Then, like a wooden puppet, she followed Lin Fan out. After Lin Fan left, the atmosphere in the Imperial Hotel became even more depressing. Zou Daqiang¡¯s throat squirmed, and he finally opened his mouth to say, ¡°I¡­ Why don¡¯t we go to the private room to eat first?¡± ¡°Eat? Hah!¡± Liu Yuhang laughed coldly and turned to leave. Xiao Wu Wholesale City¡¯s chairman, Zhang Zhou, and a large group of people followed closely behind. Song Ping watched as everyone left, his entire body trembling with anger. His company was at an important stage now. How much effort did he put in to have today¡¯s dinner so that the company had a chance? In the end In the end, it was all gone now! ¡°Li Xiong, from now on, you¡¯re no longer the manager of the company. You¡¯re fired!¡± he shouted sternly. Li Xiong¡¯s face instantly turned pale. He had been in the company for many years before he got his current position. It was also this job that allowed Li Xiong to support his mortgage and car loans. Now¡­ it was gone? Li Xiong said anxiously, ¡°C-Chairman, please¡­ Please, give me another chance.¡± However, Song Ping ignored him and strode out. Zou Daqiang coldly glanced at Zou Zheng, who was drooping his head. If he could, he would have done the same as Song Ping and abandoned Zou Zheng. However¡­ No! He could not do that because Zou Zheng was his son! His only son! Zou Daqiang took a deep breath and said, ¡°You only know how to cause trouble. Hurry up and go home!¡± ¡°Okay, Dad,¡± Zou Zheng replied. At this moment, Wang Fengyi suddenly said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, you can¡¯t leave yet.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Zou Daqiang could not help but feel puzzled. ¡°Your son hasn¡¯t paid yet,¡± said Wang Fengyi. ¡°How much is it?¡± Zou Zheng asked in a low voice. As he spoke, he was about to take out his phone. ¡°It¡¯s a total of 2,352,168 yuan,¡± Wang Fengyi said. ¡°How¡­ How much?¡± Zou Zheng¡¯s body trembled as he asked. Wang Fengyi took out the bill and said, ¡°The Australian lobster is 3,888 yuan, the iced bird¡¯s nest is 488 yuan Drinks are 2,216,880 yuan.¡± ¡°Why are the drinks so expensive? I only drank a few bottles of Maotai and two bottles of red wine!¡± Zou Zheng shouted. ¡°Because you ordered two bottles of our best 1945 Chateau Margaux red wine,¡± Wang Fengyi said. ¡°Wasteful!¡± Zou Daqiang shouted. Then, he raised his hand and slapped Zou Zheng¡¯s face again. Immediately, the right side of Zou Zheng¡¯s face turned red and swollen. ¡­ Naturally, Lin Fan had no idea what was happening in the Imperial Hotel. He drove the Santana and soon arrived at a dilapidated neighborhood. Lin Fan looked at the familiar buildings in the district and had a strange expression on his face. That was because Lin Fan had lived here before he got the system. He could still clearly remember how annoying his landlady, Wang Siqin, was. An Xuan seemed to have just recovered from the incident at the Imperial Hotel at this time. She said softly, ¡°Thank you for today¡± Lin Fan said casually, ¡°You¡¯re welcome. It¡¯s just a small matter.¡± An Xuan opened her cherry-like mouth again as if she wanted to say something. However, she could not say it out loud in the end and walked toward the dilapidated building. Lin Fan did not care too much about it, but it seemed like he felt that the car was a little stuffy. Hence, he got out of the driver¡¯s seat and took two deep breaths. Then, Lin Fan turned his attention to the mission system. [Mission: Complete five special orders. Reward: Five golden packets. Progress: 2/5] Seeing this Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up as he muttered in his heart, ¡°As expected The order just now was also a special order! ¡°Huh? Lin Fan?¡± At this moment, an ear-piercing sound came from behind. Even though Lin Fan had not turned around, he knew the owner of this voice. It was his former landlady, Wang Siqin. ¡°Didn¡¯t you drive a car worth tens of millions a while ago?¡± Wang Siqin sneered. ¡°Why is it a Santana now? ¡°By the way, why did you come to our neighborhood? Why, do you want to rent a house again? We still have an empty house, but the price is 100 yuan a month more than before!¡± At this moment, Wang Siqin could be said to be very carefree. Back then, when Wang Siqin saw Lin Fan driving a sports car worth tens of millions and a pile of property ownership certificates, she was so envious and jealous that she could not sleep. Today, she saw Lin Fan drive a Santana to the entrance of the residential area. The envy and jealousy she had in the past immediately disappeared like smoke. What replaced it was schadenfreude! Honk! Before Lin Fan could say anything, a honk sounded from not far away. Then, a BMW 530LI stopped steadily beside them. Han Tian walked over with her long white legs and said happily, ¡°I thought I was seeing things. So it¡¯s really you, Lin Fan!¡± When she called out Lin Fan¡¯s name, her voice became sweeter. ¡°I was planning to look for you tomorrow. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you today.¡± ¡°You¡¯re looking for me?¡± Lin Fan asked curiously. ¡°Yes, we¡¯ve already collected the rent for the 132 units in Washington Palace and the 1,058 units in Zhenhu Yuting that you rented out through Lianjia. I¡¯ve made a form with the specific details. If there¡¯s no problem, I can get the finance department to transfer the money to you.¡± As soon as she said this ¡­ Wang Siqin, who was standing at the side, immediately opened her mouth wide and stood rooted to the ground. Chapter 240 - 240 If You Struggle to Reach a Cooperate, Say You Know Me! 240 If You Struggle to Reach a Cooperate, Say You Know Me! 132 houses in Washington Palace? Washington Palace was the best school district in Jiangbei. The houses there were priced at 50,000 yuan per square meter, and he had 132 houses. How much did they cost? Just the rent alone was definitely a large sum of money! As for Zhenhu Yuting, it was a famous mansion area in Jiangbei. Each unit was worth at least five million yuan. 1,058 units? How much was that? How much could he get from collecting rent? Wang Siqin¡¯s brain went completely blank. As if to answer Wang Siqin¡¯s question, Han Tian continued, ¡°The three months¡¯ rent of Washington Palace is 1,298,800 yuan. ¡°The three months¡¯ rent of Zhenhu Yuting is 10,212,880 yuan.¡± As Han Tian spoke, she took out a stack of documents from the car. Hearing this, Wang Siqin found it difficult to breathe. 1.29 million, 10.21 million! She had never seen so much money in her life, and this was only three months of rent that Lin Fan collected? Lin Fan did not look at the document. ¡°Why do we need to look at this? It¡¯s getting late. How about having some supper?¡± Lin Fan did not care about this bit of money at all. After all, the money he earned every day when he woke up was more than the rent for the past three months. Seeing how much Lin Fan believed her, Han Tian¡¯s heart was filled with sweetness. She smiled and said, ¡°Sure.¡± Then, the two of them ignored Wang Siqin, who was standing at the side like a stone, and got into their respective cars. They stepped on the accelerator and sped off into the distance. The two of them did not choose a high-end restaurant for supper. Instead, they came to Han Tian¡¯s house at her invitation. Han Tian¡¯s house was very clean and tidy. The white-painted walls and the black-painted door frame made the whole house look modern and simple. When they got home, she personally cooked for Lin Fan. Then, she prepared a plate of fresh fruits. Lin Fan played with the wet grapes and said, ¡°Have you ever eaten imported fruits?¡± ¡°Imported fruits?¡± Han Tian was stunned. She did not understand why Lin Fan would ask this. Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯ll have the chance to try it today.¡± After saying that, he put the grape into his mouth and moved closer to Han Tian. o(*) (*3)(*) ? (?) Outside the curtain, the rain was falling, and the spring was waning. It was a sleepless night. ¡­ Lin Fan ate his breakfast slowly and then went downstairs to start his relaxed life. He had only opened DiDi for a short while when he received an order. It was just an ordinary office worker. After he got into the car and gave Lin Fan the address, hequietly played with his phone. As Lin Fan expected, this was not a special order. Then, Lin Fan started to drive leisurely on the wide road. Ding! At this moment, his phone vibrated slightly, and another order appeared. Lin Fan turned the steering wheel and soon arrived at the location. At this moment, two men were waiting at the side. When Lin Fan caught sight of them, he was stunned for a moment. That was because the younger man was someone Lin Fan knew. It was his high school classmate whom he had not seen for a long time Liu Gonglu. In high school, Lin Fan and Liu Gonglu even sat at the same table for a short period of time. ¡°Liu Gonglu!¡± Lin Fan shouted. Liu Gonglu did not notice Lin Fan at first. At this moment After hearing the voice, he also cried out in surprise, ¡°Lin Fan, haha! Why is it you? We haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time!¡± ¡°Yeah, I haven¡¯t seen you since we graduated from high school,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°By the way, didn¡¯t I hear that you¡¯re studying at Jiangbei University? Why are you driving on DiDi now?¡± Liu Gonglu asked. ¡°I¡¯m just driving it for fun,¡± said Lin Fan. Lin Fan was not spouting nonsense. On the one hand, he was indeed doing it to complete the mission. On the other hand, he did it for fun. Especially after the incident of pretending to be someone¡¯s boyfriend yesterday, Lin Fan felt that it was even more interesting. However, Lin Fan¡¯s words had another meaning in Liu Gonglu¡¯s ears. A while ago, Liu Gonglu had heard from his classmates that Lin Fan was the most well-hidden second-generation heir in his class and that he was studying at Jiangbei University. Now, it seemed that this matter was not true. No wonder Liu Gonglu thought so. After all, which university student would come out and drive on DiDi? Moreover, it was during class time. As for being a rich second-generation heir? That was even more impossible. That was right! There were indeed some rich second-generation heirs who drove on DiDi to experience life. In reality? They usually drove Porsches, Bentleys, and other luxury cars. How was that experiencing life? It was simply to show off and get girls! Which rich second-generation heir would drive a Santana? However, Liu Gonglu did not dwell on this matter. He said, ¡°During the New Year, I saw in the group that the form teacher was hospitalized. Unfortunately, I was still working outside the city at that time I wonder if the form teacher is feeling better.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the form teacher is fine. He was discharged a while ago,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°That¡¯s great,¡± said Liu Gonglu with a sigh of relief. At this moment, a man in a black suit who was also sitting in the car frowned and said, ¡°Alright, you guys can talk later. Now, hurry up and drive. ¡°We still have important things to do later!¡± Liu Gonglu¡¯s figure turned solemn. Only then did he remember that his leader was sitting beside him. He quickly said, ¡°Yes, Manager Zhao.¡± Lin Fan did not say anything else. He stepped on the accelerator and sped forward. The journey was light and smooth. Not long after, a towering building appeared in front of them. Lin Fan was extremely familiar with this building. This was because this was the Feiyang Building where Flower Stem was located. When Manager Zhao and Liu Gonglu saw Feiyang Building, they straightened their clothes and their expressions became extremely solemn. When the two of them were about to get out of the car, Lin Fan asked, ¡°Liu Gonglu, why are you going to Feiyang Building?¡± ¡°We¡¯re here to fight for a cooperation with Flower Stem¡­¡± Liu Gonglu said. Lin Fan¡¯s face revealed a strange expression. Fighting for cooperation with Flower Stem? One had to know Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder of Flower Stem. It was basically his own company. Lin Fan said, ¡°If you¡¯re struggling, just say that you know me.¡± After all, Liu Gonglu used to be a good classmate. From the conversation just now, he realized that he was still the same as beforea good person. Therefore, it was not a big deal to help him a little. Liu Gonglu was slightly stunned. If he could not get Flower Stem to cooperate, he could say that he knew Lin Fan? Why did Lin Fan say this? At this moment, Manager Zhao, who was walking in front, said angrily, ¡°Liu Gonglu, what are you still standing there for? It¡¯s almost the appointed time. Do you still want to do business?¡± Liu Gonglu¡¯s heart tightened. He nodded at Lin Fan and quickly caught up to Manager Zhao. Chapter 241 - 241 You Know Lin Fan? 241 You Know Lin Fan? Liu Gonglu and Manager Zhao practically jogged all the way into Feiyang Building. Then, they quickly took the elevator and went straight to the main entrance of Flower Stem. The beautiful woman sitting at the front desk smiled and said, ¡°May I ask what you need?¡± Manager Zhao said, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Zhao Haibo from Qingkong Company. We have an appointment with your company¡¯s Director Qu today to discuss the matter of Flower Stem¡¯s channel.¡± The receptionist looked at the record on the computer and said, ¡°Mr. Zhao, Director Qu has arranged for you to meet in Conference Room 2. This way, please.¡± After saying that, she walked in front and led Manager Zhao and Liu Gonglu inside. ¡°Sorry to trouble you,¡± said Zhao Haibo. Creak! When he pushed open the door of the meeting room, there was already someone sitting inside. ¡°Mr. Zhao, please wait a moment. Director Qu will be here soon,¡± the receptionist said. ¡°Alright,¡± Zhao Haibo said. After the receptionist left, the middle-aged man who was already sitting inside smiled and said, ¡°Why, if it isn¡¯t Manager Zhao from Qingkong Company? I just finished talking to Director Qu and you came over? The timing is quite accurate.¡± Zhao Haibo¡¯s expression became a little ugly when he heard this. He said, ¡°Did you talk to Director Qu?¡± The middle-aged man was Chen Meng, the department manager of Runfeng Company. Runfeng Company and Qingkong Company had always had a strong competitive relationship. Chen Meng¡¯s purpose for coming to Flower Stem was self-evident. ¡°Of course, I have.¡± Chen Meng smiled proudly. ¡°Moreover, Director Qu is very satisfied with our Runfeng Company.¡± Creak! At this moment, the door of Conference Room 2 was slowly pushed open. A middle-aged man of medium build strode in. Zhao Haibo, Chen Meng, and Liu Gonglu¡¯s hearts suddenly tightened. They said in unison, ¡°Hello, Director Qu.¡± If it was a year ago, no, three months ago When they saw Director Qu, they would at most treat him as an equal. How could they be so respectful like now? On the contrary, it was Director Qu who should curry favor with them. This was because Runfeng Company and Qingkong Company were even larger than Flower Stem back then. In addition to the fact that Runfeng Company and Qingkong Company were handling the sales channels and promotions, Director Qu still had to work hard to build good relationships with Zhao Haibo, Chen Meng, and the others. However In just three months, the status of Flower Stem had changed drastically. Flower Stem¡¯s perfume and essence, especially the essence, were too popular. As long as their products entered the market, they would be sold out in an instant. As a result, the scale of Flower Stem expanded rapidly, and the distribution companies scrambled to reach a partnership with Flower Stem. That was because possessing Flower Stem meant possessing popularity and wealth. ¡°Hello, everyone.¡± Director Qu nodded. Then, Director Qu looked at his watch and said, ¡°I have a meeting in about ten minutes. If it¡¯s possible, Manager Zhao, you¡¯d better tell me the details of your company¡¯s cooperation in ten minutes.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Zhao Haibo quickly said. Then, Zhao Haibo took out a stack of information and quickly explained. About ten minutes later Director Qu said, ¡°Manager Zhao, I have to say something first Before you came, I had already reached a verbal agreement with Runfeng Company. ¡°Your company¡¯s conditions are not bad. However, I¡¯m not convinced that I should give up my initial plan and cooperate with you guys instead. Therefore, I can only apologize.¡± After Director Qu finished speaking, he stood up and walked out. When Zhao Haibo heard this, his face turned slightly pale. Flower Stem had chosen to go with Runfeng Company! This¡­ This was definitely the worst news for Qingkong Company. Chen Meng, on the other hand, smiled casually and said, ¡°Hehe, it seems that our Runfeng Company is quite lucky.¡± Then, he walked out. Zhao Haibo was not willing to give up easily. He hurriedly chased after him and said, ¡°Director Qu, Director Qu¡± However, Director Qu ignored him. Liu Gonglu said carefully, ¡°M-Manager ZhaoWhat should we do now?¡± ¡°What should we do? What do you think we should do? I¡¯ve already told you that today¡¯s meeting is very important. You must be prepared!¡± Zhao Haibo shouted, ¡°But what did you do? You were actually chatting in the car!¡± Liu Gonglu knew that Manager Zhao was in a fit of anger. Moreover, he was indeed in the wrong. Therefore, he could only lower his head and did not dare to speak at all. At this moment, Chen Meng walked out of the office with a stack of documents and a smile on his face. ¡°Manager Zhao, I¡¯ve already received the contract. Now, I¡¯ll bring it back to the company to get it stamped and signed. Then, our Runfeng will be able to obtain a large amount of Flower Stem¡¯s essence.¡± Chen Meng smiled smugly. ¡°Manager Zhao, your business skills are not bad. What do you think? Would you like to consider coming to work at Runfeng?¡± ¡°We can¡¯t work with Flower Stem this year, but next year¡± Zhao Haibo grunted. ¡°Things might change!¡± ¡°Next year? Haha! Manager Zhao, do you think you can get the contract by then? Don¡¯t deceive yourself!¡± Chen Meng sneered. In fact, Zhao Haibo himself did not believe his words. It could only be considered something he said out of anger. However, Zhao Haibo¡¯s words suddenly reminded Liu Gonglu¡­ At this moment Lin Fan¡¯s words suddenly echoed in Liu Gonglu¡¯s mind. ¡®If you struggle to reach a cooperation, just say that you know me.¡¯ At the same time, Liu Gonglu thought about how he had learned from his classmates that Lin Fan was a well-hidden rich second generation. Finally, Liu Gonglu mustered up his courage and said in a louder voice, ¡°I know Lin Fan!¡± When Zhao Haibo heard Liu Gonglu¡¯s words, he quickly thought of the young man who drove them here not long ago and the conversation between the two. He immediately felt angry. ¡®In the past, I thought Liu Gonglu was smart and capable. ¡®Now, it seems that he¡¯s simply an idiot! Does he really think that just by mentioning Lin Fan, Flower Stem would choose to work with us? What a joke! ¡®What if the company thinks he¡¯s making a scene and chases us out?¡¯ Thinking of this, Zhao Haibo was ready to scold Liu Gonglu. However, before he could open his mouth, a series of brisk footsteps sounded in the distance, and a faint fragrance drifted over. Then, a pleasant voice sounded from the side, ¡°You know Lin Fan?¡± Zhao Haibo, Liu Gonglu, and Chen Meng turned around to look. In the next moment The three of them were stunned. The person who said this was not someone else It was Chu Yunyue, the president of Flower Stem! Chapter 242 - 242 Regional Agent; Treat Him to Dinner! 242 Regional Agent; Treat Him to Dinner! Even when Flower Stem was not as popular as it was now, Zhao Haibo, Chen Meng, Liu Gonglu, and the others had never come into close contact with Chu Yunyue like today. Chu Yunyue was a famous beauty in the cosmetics industry. Ever since Flower Stem became popular in Jiangbei, Jiang Province, and even the whole country, it was even harder for Zhao Haibo and the others to get in touch with Chu Yunyue. They did not expect to get so close to her today. Chu Yunyue looked at the three people who were in a daze. Finally, her gaze fell on Liu Gonglu and she asked again, ¡°You know Lin Fan?¡± At this moment, Liu Gonglu slowly came back to his senses and stammered, ¡°Yes¡­ Yes, he¡¯s my former classmate.¡± Chu Yunyue nodded and looked at Liu Gonglu with a gentler gaze. ¡°Why did you come to our company today?¡± Liu Gonglu hesitated and said, ¡°I I¡¯m Liu Gonglu from Qingkong Company. Our company wants to cooperate with Flower Stem¡­¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Chu Yunyue opened her almond-shaped mouth and said. This sudden word caused the atmosphere to turn heavy. At the same time, Liu Gonglu was at a loss. He stuttered, ¡°C-CChairman Chu¡­ You mean¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you just say that Qingkong Company wants to cooperate with our Flower Stem? I agree! If I remember correctly, other than Jiangbei, your Qingkong Company also mainly does business in the southern part of the country, right? How about this? Our Flower Stem and Qingkong will sign a contract stating that Qingkong will be our sole agent in the Southern Xia region. What do you think?¡± Sole agent? In other words In the entire Southern Xia region, only Qingkong Company could get their perfume, essence, and other products of flower Stem and sell them through channels. If other companies also wanted to sell Flower Stem¡¯s products, they would have to purchase from Qingkong Company and become their second-tier distribution company? Chu Yunyue saw that Liu Gonglu did not reply, so she frowned and said, ¡°You don¡¯t agree?¡± Before Liu Gonglu could reply, Zhao Haibo, who was beside him, quickly said, ¡°Yes, our Qingkong Company is willing!¡± They were willing! Not only were they willing, but they were extremely willing! This was simply like a pie falling from the sky. In fact, Zhao Haibo came today only to get an ordinary sales channel. As for being the sole agent of a certain area, he had never even thought about it. Now, they had directly become the sole agent of the Southern Xia region! The Southern Xia region was the headquarters of Qingkong Company. It had a vast territory and unlimited market potential! At this moment, Chen Meng, who had been in a daze, said, ¡°Uh¡­ Uh¡­ President Chu, Director Qu and I have already reached an agreement on the distribution channel between Runfeng Company and Flower Stem in the Southern Xia region.¡± As Chen Meng spoke, he took out the contract that he had just obtained not long ago. ¡°Have both parties already sealed and signed the contract?¡± Chu Yunyue frowned slightly. ¡°When I bring the contract back, we¡¯ll stamp and sign it,¡± Chen Meng said. ¡°That means you haven¡¯t.¡± Chu Yunyue said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to sign the contract with us. In the future, if you want to sell through channels, you can just sign the contract with Qingkong Company.¡± Sign a contract with Qingkong Company? Would they not become a secondary channel for Qingkong Company, then? Chen Meng¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. ¡°This¡­ Why?¡± Chu Yunyue obviously did not intend to answer him. She turned to Director Qu, who had just walked out of the office, and said, ¡°Director Qu, for the distribution contract agreement, you and Liu¡­ Liu Gonglu should come to an agreement.¡± Regarding the contract¡­ Both Qingkong Company and Flower Stem had their own template. Now, they only needed to discuss the specific details. After a while, the sole agent contract for the Southern Xia region was given to Qingkong Company. After Zhao Haibo walked out of Feiyang Building, his face was full of smiles. At this moment, he found Liu Gonglu very pleasing to the eye. Zhao Haibo gently patted Liu Gonglu¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°All along, I knew you were a smart and capable person! You really didn¡¯t disappoint me!¡± His tone was so resolute that it was as if he had completely forgotten that he had called Liu Gonglu an idiot. It was the first time Liu Gonglu was praised like this. He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. ¡°Oh right, who exactly is Lin Fan?¡± Zhao Haibo asked again. After saying that, he looked at Liu Gonglu with anticipation. Just the mention of the name had given Qingkong Company such a good contract. It was hard to imagine. ¡°Lin Fan is my former classmate. In the past, he was considered relatively ordinary in our class¡­ As for the specifics, I don¡¯t know,¡± Liu Gonglu said. Zhao Haibo thought for a moment and said, ¡°No matter what, Lin Fan has helped us a lot. Give him a call to thank him first. It would be best if you can treat him to a meal.¡± Liu Gonglu nodded repeatedly, took out his phone, and made a call. ¡­ After Lin Fan returned to the Santana, he did not continue to take orders. Instead, he focused on the mission system. [Mission: Complete five special orders. Reward: Five golden packets. Progress: 3/5] Seeing this The corners of Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up slightly as he smiled, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that I would be able to get closer to getting golden packets after sending off an old classmate. I just have to complete two more orders and I can get golden packets!¡± At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. ¡°Lin Fan, are you free later? Can we have lunch together?¡± As soon as the call was connected, Liu Gonglu¡¯s voice came from the other end. ¡°Okay!¡± Lin Fan replied. After all, they were both former classmates, so having a meal together was nothing. Moreover, Liu Gonglu had helped him just now. ¡°How about we meet at the Imperial Hotel?¡± Liu Gonglu said. When Lin Fan heard this, a weird look appeared on his face. He had just gone to the Imperial Hotel for dinner yesterday. Today, he was going over again? Was he going to treat the Imperial Hotel as a canteen? However, thinking back to the delicacies in the Imperial Hotel, Lin Fan said, ¡°Sure, let¡¯s meet at the Imperial Hotel.¡± After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan turned the car around in front of him. Then, he continued to drive forward leisurely. When Lin Fan arrived at the Imperial Hotel, Liu Gonglu and Zhao Haibo were already waiting in the lobby. Zhao Haibo said in a very enthusiastic tone, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Lin Fan casually said, ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°Mr. Lin, this way please. We¡¯ve already booked a table.¡± As Zhao Haibo spoke, he brought Lin Fan to the main hall on the first floor. It was a table by the window. This seating arrangement was obviously not comparable to yesterday¡¯s VIP Room 8. However, Lin Fan did not care about where he ate. Therefore, he sat down as well. Chapter 243 - 243 Thank You; It’s Good for the Company! 243 Thank You; It¡¯s Good for the Company! Zhao Haibo had already ordered the dishes. After Lin Fan sat down, fragrant dishes were served. Although the dishes in front of him were not as sumptuous as yesterday, theystill looked very exquisite. Lin Fan took a light whiff of the fragrance, and he started to drool. ¡°Liu Gonglu often mentioned you in front of me. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to meet you¡± Zhao Haibo said. ¡°In the morning, because I was in a hurry to go to Flower Stem for the discussion, I didn¡¯t have time to chat with you It has made me feel a little regretful. ¡°Now, we finally have a chance!¡± Lin Fan glanced at Liu Gonglu, who had his head lowered. He knew that Zhao Haibo was saying some pretty words. Rather, he was trying to please him. He had roughly guessed¡­ the reason why the other party was like this. However, Lin Fan did not point it out. He smiled and said, ¡°Manager Zhao, you¡¯re too polite.¡± ¡°This isn¡¯t being polite. I¡¯m speaking from the bottom of my heart!¡± As Zhao Haibo spoke, he raised his wine glass and said, ¡°Here, let me toast to Mr. Lin first!¡± Then, he directly drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. Lin Fan and Liu Gonglu also drank a glass. When Zhao Haibo saw this, he became even happier and said, ¡°Speaking of the negotiation with Flower Stem, it¡¯s all thanks to you! Originally, it might have been difficult for our Qingkong Company to obtain the distribution rights this time ¡°But, Mr. Lin, you let our Qingkong Company become the sole agent for the entire Southern Xia region! Thank you, thank you so much!¡± When Zhao Haibo mentioned this matter, his entire face became rosy. With the popularity of Flower Stem¡¯s perfume and essence, he could already imagine the huge profits that Qingkong Company would earn after becoming the sole agent of the Southern Xia region. He could also imagine the scene of the company praising him and Liu Gonglu. Thinking of this, Zhao Haibo raised his wine glass again and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, let me toast you again!¡± After saying that, he poured another glass of wine into his stomach. Then, the three of them continued drinking, eating, and chatting. It was very relaxed. At this moment, Liu Gonglu suddenly said, ¡°Lin Fan, do you know the president of Flower Stem? Why did she make our company the sole agent of the Southern Xia region the moment I mentioned your name¡± When Zhao Haibo heard this, his figure straightened slightly, and his ears could not help but perk up. Obviously, he was also very curious about this question. It was really This matter was too unbelievable. ¡°Yeah, I know her,¡± Lin Fan said casually. ¡°And the reason why she directly made your company the sole agent of the Southern Xia region is probably¡­ because I¡¯m the biggest shareholder of Flower Stem.¡± As soon as he said this, Zhao Haibo and Liu Gonglu suddenly opened their mouths wide and were stunned on the spot. Flower Stem The biggest shareholder? If he was the major shareholder of the previous Flower Stem, it would be fine. However, being a shareholder of the current Flower Stem was too amazing! The biggest shareholder? How high was his net worth? Lin Fan did not care about the two people who were shocked. He rubbed his round belly and said, ¡°I¡¯m full. I¡¯ll leave first.¡± After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the hall. At this moment, Zhao Haibo and Liu Gonglu came back to their senses. They looked at Lin Fan, who was already far away, and turned to walk toward the cashier. ¡°Hello, we¡¯re here to pay the bill,¡± Zhao Haibo said. ¡°Sir, you don¡¯t have to pay for your meal with our boss,¡± said the waiter with a smile. ¡°Your boss?¡± Zhao Haibo frowned slightly. In the next moment, his pupils suddenly constricted, and he said, ¡°You mean¡­ Mr. Lin?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± the waiter said. Instantly, Zhao Haibo and Liu Gonglu were stunned once again. The biggest shareholder of Flower Stem! The owner of the Imperial Hotel! This¡­ Any one of these identities was enough to make people look up to them. At this moment, they were focused on a young man in his 20s! Simply¡­ It was simply unimaginable! However, what they did not know was that this was only a small portion of Lin Fan¡¯s assets. If they knew all of his assets, what would their expressions be like? After a while, Zhao Haibo asked with difficulty, ¡°M-Mr. Lin is¡­¡± ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t know either¡­¡± Liu Gonglu was stunned. ¡­ In reality, Lin Fan did not leave the Imperial Hotel. Instead, he went to the presidential suite on the top floor of the Imperial Hotel, which was specially prepared for him. After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Fan lay down on the soft bed, feeling extremely satisfied and enjoying himself. At this moment, his phone vibrated slightly. 12:00 PM! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] Lin Fan casually tapped on the screen and received a total of 40,211 yuan. Just as he was about to put down his phone, a brisk ringtone rang. It was Chu Yunyue. ¡°Are you free for lunch?¡± Chu Yunyue asked. ¡°You¡¯re late. I just finished eating with my former high school classmate, Liu Gonglu,¡± Lin Fan said. Chu Yunyue said, ¡°Oh, okay. I¡¯ve been quite busy recently. I might not be able to accompany you.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. But don¡¯t tire yourself out. Your health is the most important.¡± He paused before continuing, ¡°By the way, is it okay for you to hand over all the sales channels in the Southern Xia region to my former classmate¡¯s company?¡± Lin Fan knew that Chu Yunyue was a very ambitious person. She had always wanted to create world-class perfumes and cosmetics. Lin Fan did not want Chu Yunyue¡¯s career to be affected because of him. After all, compared to a former classmate, his lover was definitely more important. Chu Yunyue smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I was planning to get a few regional agents. It¡¯s too complicated and messy to sell through scattered channels. ¡°The influence and scale of Qingkong Company in the Southern Xia region are very good. It¡¯s beneficial for us to let them be the sole agent ¡°You know what? Our Flower Stem¡¯s products have already caused quite a stir in the country. If we continue to develop¡­ becoming a top brand in the world is definitely not an extravagant hope¡± Chu Yunyue started talking non-stop at the mention of the company. She sounded very excited. When Lin Fan heard this, he broke out into a smile. The two of them chatted for a while before hanging up. ¡­ When Lin Fan picked up his phone again, it was already four in the afternoon. He slept very comfortably. Lin Fan did not continue to drive on DiDi. Instead, he lay on the bed and played with his phone. When he was hungry, he picked up the phone beside his bed and asked the waiter to send up a sumptuous meal. Then, he rested for a while. In the blink of an eye The sky turned completely dark. Only then did Lin Fan go downstairs. He drove the Santana and walked leisurely through the streets. He would occasionally receive a DiDi order. Chapter 244 - 244 Looks Like They Should Be Grateful to Me? 244 Looks Like They Should Be Grateful to Me? In the past, when Lin Fan was still an ordinary employee in the company, he would lie on the bed as soon as he got off work. He did not want to move at all. Even though he had been in Jiangbei for a few years, he had never visited Jiangbei properly. However, when he drove through DiDi today, he felt a different kind of beauty in Jiangbei. The spacious and clean road, the neon shops, and the pedestrians who were laughing¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s face was filled with ease and satisfaction. At this moment, it would be more accurate to say that he was on a road trip in Jiangbei rather than driving through DiDi to complete a mission. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated slightly and another order appeared. He turned the steering wheel and went straight to the location. Two young people who looked like students got in. ¡°Jiangbei University of Arts and Science. Thank you,¡± the boy said. Then, he whispered, ¡°There are still ten minutes before the dormitory door closes. I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to make it in time¡± The girl seemed to be a little flustered. ¡°Then what should we do?¡± ¡°Did you bring your ID card?¡± The girl nodded lightly. The boy said, ¡°Then If it really doesn¡¯t work, we¡¯ll stay outside today.¡± The girl did not answer and just lowered her head silently. At this moment, Lin Fan, who had been silent all this while, said, ¡°Ten minutes? Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely drop you off before then!¡± He first looked at the map, then stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel. He sped through the shortcuts. In just seven minutes, Lin Fan arrived at the dorm entrance of Jiangbei University of Arts and Science. Seeing this The boy and girl got out of the car with blank expressions. ¡°There are still three minutes.¡± Lin Fan shouted, ¡°Quickly go back to the dormitory!¡± After saying this, he stepped on the accelerator and sped away. Lin Fan held the steering wheel with one hand and rubbed his nose with the other. He smiled and said, ¡°They made it back to the dorm in time. Theyshould be very grateful to me now, right?¡± Then, he casually looked at the mission system. [Mission: Complete five special orders. Reward: Five golden packets. [Progress: 4/5] Seeing this Lin Fan¡¯s face revealed a look of surprise, ¡°Another special order? It seems like they¡¯re really grateful to me!¡± Lin Fan looked at the gradually empty street. He took a turn at the intersection in front of him. After a while, he arrived in front of a door. After the doorbell rang, Hu Tian slowly opened the door. This was the first time Lin Fan had seen her since the spring festival. Compared to before the spring festival, Hu Tian looked fairer now. Her skin was fairer, and her figure was more voluptuous. At this moment, Hu Tian seemed to have just taken a shower. Her hair was still a little wet, and she was wearing a V-neck thin shirt Lin Fan was stunned. Hu Tian seemed to have noticed Lin Fan¡¯s gaze as well. She smiled and said, ¡°Why are you standing there like a fool? Why aren¡¯t you coming in?¡± Lin Fan finally reacted and walked in. Creak! As soon as the door closed, the two of them were attracted to each other like magnets. o(*) (*3)(*) ¡­ Absence made the heart grow fonder. ¡­ The next day. When Lin Fan woke up, he could smell the fragrance from outside. He slowly got up. After washing up, the dining table was already filled with noodles, dumplings, milk, eggs, and other rich breakfast items. ¡°You should be hungry, right?¡± Hu Tian smiled. ¡°Hurry up and eat something.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°I am a little hungry.¡± After saying that, he picked up the noodles and stuffed them into his mouth. ¡°Yes! Delicious!¡± Lin Fan praised. ¡°If it¡¯s delicious, eat more,¡± Hu Tian said happily. ¡°By the way, did you take a few days off?¡± ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m driving through the DiDi app to experience life,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Huh?¡± Hu Tian was stunned. One had to know She knew Lin Fan quite well. He had several luxury cars, received tens of millions in bonuses, and was also the biggest shareholder of Flower Stem. Did he still need to drive through the DiDi app? Lin Fan smiled. ¡°It¡¯s quite interesting to drive through DiDi. Teacher Tiantian, do you want to experience it?¡± Seeing that Lin Fan was not joking, Hu Tian shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯ve been studying the Hail Conjecture recently. I¡¯m afraid I don¡¯t have the time.¡± Suddenly, a crisp voice rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! Read ¡®Foundation of Modern Algebra¡¯,¡¯Abstract Algebra¡¯, ¡®Advanced Algebra¡¯, ¡®Algebra Equations¡¯, and ¡®Algebra and Geometry¡¯. Reward: The proof process of Hail Conjecture.] When Lin Fan heard this, his face turned weird. This was Did he trigger another mission? The Hail Conjecture was an unsolved mathematical problem. He only needed to read five books to solve it? Hu Tian seemed to have thought of something and said in an expectant tone, ¡°Are you interested in the Hail Conjecture? Do you want to study it together?¡± Lin Fan coughed lightly and said, ¡°For the time being, I¡¯m still more interested in driving through Di Di. In the future Maybe I¡¯ll be interested in the Hail Conjecture.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll remember what you said,¡± Hu Tian said with a smile. Hu Tian still had classes in the afternoon. Therefore, after Lin Fan and Hu Tian had lunch, Hu Tian went to Jiangbei University. Meanwhile, Lin Fan continued to rest for a while before continuing his DiDi Journey. Today, he was not as lucky as yesterday. After a few consecutive orders, he either sent customers home or sent customers to a hotel It was very dull. Even at night, Lin Fan still could not receive any special orders. ¡°Could it be that today is not a suitable day to complete the mission?¡± Lin Fan muttered. At this moment, his phone vibrated slightly, and another order appeared. Lin Fan turned the steering wheel and quickly arrived at the location. The customer was under a dimly lit tree. A man with a buzz cut crossed his arms and quickly got into the car. Not far away, an exquisite-looking female officer in plain clothes happened to see his appearance. For some reason, the female police officer felt that the man with a buzz cut was somewhat familiar. Relying on her professional sense, after the man with a buzz cut got into the car, the female officer quickly drove her own private car and quietly followed him. ¡°Ma Feng Forest Park.¡± The man with a buzz cut said in a low voice after getting into the car. Lin Fan did not mind. As usual, he stepped on the accelerator and sped forward. Ma Feng Forest Park was located in the suburbs of Jiangbei As they neared their destination, the surroundings were very desolate. There were even some dark lights. After turning a corner, the man with a buzz cut suddenly grinned and shouted, ¡°Stop the car!¡± Lin Fan stepped on the brakes. ¡°Tsk!¡± At this moment, the man suddenly took out a knife and shouted sternly, ¡°Hand over all your money!¡± Seeing this Not only was Lin Fan not afraid, but he even smiled. Did he encounter a robbery? This¡­ It should be considered a special order, right? Chapter 245 - 245 Saved; Mission Completed! 245 Saved; Mission Completed! The buzz-cut man¡¯s appearance was already a little fierce. Under the dim light, he looked even more ferocious. He held the knife in one hand and rummaged through the car with the other. However, there was not even a piece of paper in the car, let alone money. Could it be¡­ Was he going to get nothing today? Actually, this was normal. After all, Lin Fan¡¯s Santana was a gift from Volkswagen Group. Lin Fan did not store any money in it. Then, the buzz-cut man¡¯s gaze fell on the car keys. His eyes moved slightly, and he raised the knife as he shouted, ¡°Get out of the car!¡± How could Lin Fan not see through his plans? Lin Fan had been driving for quite some time and was feeling a little bored. As he wished, he opened the car door and got out. When the man with the buzz cut walked out with the knife¡­ ¡°Tsk!¡± At this moment, a Volkswagen sped over from afar. The dazzling headlights made the buzz-cut man unable to open his eyes. With lightning speed, a beautiful figure quickly ran out of the Volkswagen and grabbed the buzz-cut man, pressing him to the ground. Then, the beautiful figure skillfully took out the handcuffs on her waist and cuffed the buzz-cut man¡¯s hands. Her movements were like flowing water, smooth and agile. This scene¡­ Lin Fan saw everything. The woman was tall, plump, and strong. Her facial features were exquisite and delicate. Her long black hair was tied up high and fluttered in the wind. She was not as gentle as an ordinary woman. On the contrary, she had a heroic sense of beauty. The high beam lights beside her were all focused on her¡­ It caused her entire body to faintly emit a dazzling light. At this moment¡­ Lin Fan had a strange feeling in his heart. It was as if¡­ she was not a mortal woman but a female war god who descended from the sky! Lin Fan could not help but use his Eyes of Truth to observe this beautiful woman. [Appearance: 96] [Favorability: 35] At this moment, the beauty turned her body slowly and looked at Lin Fan with a scrutinizing gaze. She asked, ¡°I¡¯m from Jiangbei City. Who are you? Why did you come here with him? And why would he point a knife at you?¡± ¡°I received an order through DiDi to send him here,¡± Lin Fan said honestly. ¡°Then, I was robbed by him.¡± The beautiful office nodded noncommittally and said, ¡°I understand. But now, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to come with me to the investigation team to give a statement. Please cooperate.¡± Obviously, she had made this arrangement for safety reasons. The police would never believe a one-sided story. They had to go through a strict review to determine the truth. Lin Fan understood their process and nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± After a while, a police vehicle drove over from afar, and the man with a buzz cut was brought inside. Lin Fan got into the beautiful officer¡¯s car while his Santana was driven away by another man. After all, Lin Fan was a victim, and it was not suitable to treat him like a criminal. If Lin Fan was a bad person, the beautiful officer believed that she could subdue him. Of course, this was just the confidence of the beautiful officer. Lin Fan sat in her car and looked around. The interior of the car was spotless, very clean and tidy. This¡­ She was indeed a beautiful woman with a serious personality. When Lin Fan¡¯s gaze landed on the car¡¯s armrest, he could not help but praise internally, ¡®She¡¯s indeed a beautiful woman with a score of 96. Her ID photo is so beautiful. Wang Ru? Her name is not bad either.¡¯ At this time, Wang Ru said, ¡°You didn¡¯t seem scared at all?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°After all, he¡¯s just a robber with a knife.¡± Wang Ru looked at Lin Fan and did not say anything. With the sound of brakes, Lin Fan, Wang Ru, the buzz-cut man, and the others walked toward the investigation team. The buzz-cut man was panicking while Lin Fan was very relaxed. At this moment, the burly captain of the investigation team, Deng Jihu, happened to walk out with his head held high. Wang Ru and the other detectives became serious and shouted, ¡°Greetings, Captain!¡± Deng Jihu nodded and prepared to continue walking forward. In the next moment¡­ His body suddenly froze, and his pupils constricted. That was because he saw Lin Fan. ¡°Mr. Lin!¡± Deng Jihu said excitedly. ¡°Leader Deng,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°This¡­ What happened?¡± Deng Jihu asked. ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious. I was bored and went out to play on DiDi. Then, I was robbed by this guy with a buzz cut¡­¡± Lin Fan replied. His tone was very calm as if he was talking about a trivial matter. However, in Deng Jihu¡¯s ears, it sounded like thunder. Who was Lin Fan? Old Master Qin Weiming was very fond of him! Even the leaders of Jiang Province and Jiangbei City did not dare to show him any disrespect! He was actually robbed with a knife? How vile was this? ¡°Mr. Lin, are you hurt?¡± Deng Jihu asked in fear. Lin Fan shook his head and said, ¡°No. Wang Ru happened to pass by. She subdued the buzz-cut man.¡± When Deng Jihu heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine.¡± Then, he said to Wang Ru, ¡°Good job!¡± In the end, he stared at the buzz-cut man and shouted, ¡°Bring him in and interrogate him strictly. I want him to confess all the bad things he has done in his life!¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± The few officers standing at the side became solemn and shouted in unison. The buzz-cut man trembled in fear and almost fell to the ground. Lin Fan asked, ¡°Do I still have to go in and cooperate with the investigation?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need, there¡¯s no need¡­ It¡¯s already so late. Mr. Lin, just go home and have a good rest,¡± Deng Jihu hurriedly said. Lin Fan nodded his head and did not reject. He went back. When he arrived at the Santana, a crisp notification sounded in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve completed the mission: Complete five special orders. You¡¯ll receive five golden packets. Progress 5/5.] When Lin Fan heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. He could not help but smile. The mission was finally completed! Five golden packets¡­ What would he get? Lin Fan¡¯s heart was filled with a rare sense of excitement. Therefore, he did not stop at the entrance of the police station. He stepped on the accelerator and sped forward. Deng Jihu only retracted his gaze after Lin Fan¡¯s Santana had completely disappeared from sight. He did not go home. With a cold expression, he strode into the station. Today, he had to teach the person who robbed Lin Fan a lesson! Chapter 246 - 246 Open the Golden Packets! 246 Open the Golden Packets! Lin Fan had no idea what Deng Jihu was thinking. At this moment, he was heading toward the Coiling Dragon Villa at his fastest speed. When the security guards at the entrance saw Lin Fan, they stood straight like soldiers and greeted him respectfully, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin!¡± Lin Fan nodded his head casually and walked into the villa. Then, he focused all his attention on the system. Lin Fan looked at the dazzling golden packets in the system and said excitedly, ¡°Let me see what I can get from these five golden packets! ¡°Open!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a double shares coupon. You can double your shares. More shares, more assets, and more charming charm.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten Rolls-Royce Phantoms.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained one bag of Spirit Tea Seeds.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five million yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five million yuan.] Lin Fan ignored the two 5,000,000 yuan. Ten Rolls-Royce Phantoms. One had to know Each Rolls-Royce Phantom cost more than ten million yuan, so ten of them would cost 100 million yuan! Double shares coupon. Lin Fan now owned 51% of the shares of the Yinshan Group, Qingkun Group, Xiao Wu Wholesale City, and other companies. The market value of these companies was more than ten billion. Once he used the double shares coupon on one of the companies, Lin Fan would have 100% control over the company. His assets would increase by tens, hundreds, or even tens of billions! However, Lin Fan did not plan to use it on these companies because he still owned 5% of LV, Gucci, Volkswagen Group, Little Tanuki, Penguin, and other super companies. The market value of these companies was close to a trillion or more. Especially Little Tanuki and Penguin, which were super giants with a market value of five trillion! If he used the double shares coupon on one of these companies, then Lin Fan would have 10% of the company¡¯s shares and his assets would instantly increase by hundreds of billions! This was definitely a terrifying number. Lin Fan first ruled out LV, Gucci, and the Volkswagen Group. Firstly, it was because their market value was relatively low, and it was not worth it to use the double shares coupon. Secondly, these three companies were related to clothes, bags, and cars Lin Fan did not lack these things at all, and he was not too interested in them either. Thirdly, Lin Fan knew that Little Tanuki and Penguin belonged to a giant company in the country. However, a large portion of their shares were in the hands of foreigners Lin Fan had a vision. If he could get a few more double shares coupons¡­ Soon, these two giant companies would belong to him and return to the country. Thinking of this After pondering for a moment, Lin Fan had finally made a decision. [Ding! Do you want to use the double shares coupon on Penguin Corporation?] ¡°Yes!] [Ding! Usage successful. You now own a total of 10% of Penguin Corporation¡¯s shares.] Lin Fan¡¯s net worth had increased by another 250 billion! Seeing this Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up. Then, he turned his attention to the Spiritual Tea Seeds. [Spirit Tea Seed: It can quickly grow fresh and natural tea leaves. The tea has the effects of expelling toxins from the body, rejuvenating the body, and prolonging life.] Seeing this Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up immediately. Expel the toxins in the body, rejuvenate the spirit, and prolong life The name Spirit Tea was absolutely appropriate! When Lin Fan raised his head, a bag of seeds had already appeared in front of him. Obviously This was the bag of Spirit Tea Seeds. Outside the window in the distance, a row of Rolls-Royce Phantoms appeared. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten million yuan.] ¡­ Tonight, Lin Fan slept very comfortably. The next day, after the sun rose, a rumbling sound came from outside. A large group of construction workers arrived at the entrance of the Coiling Dragon villa complex. Lin Fan heard the voice and opened his eyes slowly. He first casually glanced at his phone. As usual, a text message appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 3,650,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] When he opened the door, two security guards happened to walk over. ¡°Mr. Lin, there¡¯s a group of construction workers outside. They said that you asked them to come over?¡± the security guard said. Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°Yes, let them in.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± The security guards did not dare to ask any more questions. They turned around and let more than a dozen construction workers in. Among them The person walking in front was the manager of Lin Fan¡¯s Flying Dragon Security Company, Wang Shengli. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Wang Shengli said respectfully, ¡°These people are all skilled construction workers. They can build walls, stick ceramic tiles, and make furniture. There¡¯s nothing they don¡¯t know how to do¡± ¡°Can they demolish houses?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Yes!¡± Wang Shengli said without hesitation. ¡°Alright then. You guys can tear down the villa at the back.¡± Lin Fan pointed into the distance. Wang Shengli, the construction workers, and the security guards standing not far away were all stunned. Demolish the villa? Tearing down a palace-like villa? Seeing that Wang Shengli and the workers did not reply, Lin Fan frowned and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You don¡¯t know how to demolish it?¡± Wang Shengli was the first to react and said, ¡°Of course not. Brothers, let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°Remember to take away all the bricks, cement, marble, furniture, and other things. Leave only an empty space,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Mr. Lin, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely do a clean job!¡± Wang Shengli patted his chest. The security guards felt their throats go dry as they watched the large group of workers leave. Finally, a security guard could not help but ask, ¡°M-Mr. Lin, you¡¯re demolishing that villa because¡­¡± ¡°Oh, I want to start a tea plantation there. It should be quite good to plant tea by the lake.¡± Lin Fan smiled. When the security guards heard this, they were instantly stunned. One had to know This was the Coiling Dragon Villa by Tianhu Lake. Each villa was worth at least 200 to 300 million! Demolishing a villa worth at least 200 to 300 million yuan to¡­ plant tea? This¡­ This¡­ Was this the world of the rich? Naturally, Lin Fan did not pay attention to the stunned security guard. He got into one of the Rolls-Royce Phantoms that he had just obtained last night. He stepped on the accelerator and sped into the distance. The Rolls-Royce Phantom was very wide and large, looking very heavy. However, it had a 6.7L V12 engine that could produce 571 horsepower, so its acceleration and reaction speed were not slow at all. Lin Fan went to a two-star Michelin Western restaurant a few kilometers away and ordered truffle egg tarts, shrimp pancakes, black pudding, and skimmed milk. He spent a total of 2,780 yuan and ate a simple breakfast before continuing to drive the Rolls-Royce Phantom to Jiangbei University, which he had not been to for a few days. Chapter 247 - Chapter 247: No Classes in the Morning; Mission Completed Again! Chapter 247: No Classes in the Morning; Mission Completed Again! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation It was a weekday morning in Jiangbei, and the road was very congested. However, Lin Fan managed to reach Jiangbei University in just half an hour. Wherever he passed, the surrounding cars tried their best to keep a distance from him, afraid that they would accidentally bump into him. After Lin Fan parked the Rolls-Royce Phantom, he muttered to himself, ¡°It feels more comfortable to sit in the back row¡­ It¡¯s indeed more suitable to have a driver drive this car.¡± Then, Lin Fan strolled toward the classroom. However, he found that the classroom was empty. Lin Fan took out his phone and sent a message to the dorm group. Lin Fan typed: [Why is there no one in the classroom?] Song Yi: [Brother Fan, you¡¯re here? There are no classes this morning.] Lin Fan was speechless. Seeing this, Lin Fan¡¯s face was filled with helplessness. It was rare for him to come to school after the spring festival, but there were no classes? Lin Fan could only turn around and leave the classroom. When he looked up, he happened to see the library not far away. After hesitating for a moment, he strode over. He remembered that he still had a mission to complete. Anyway¡­ There was nothing much to do now, so he would complete it. The library of Jiangbei University was always packed with people. Looking around, other than the rows of bookshelves, there were also the surging figures of the students. Lin Fan walked past the engineering bookshelf, the chemistry bookshelf, and the electricity bookshelf¡­ He went straight to the mathematics bookshelf. Modern Algebra Foundation, Abstract Algebra, Advanced Algebra, Algebra Equations, Algebra and Geometry¡­ About five minutes later, Lin Fan found all the books he needed to read for the mission. Then, he hugged five thick books and looked at the seat in the distance, but all he could see was a black mass of heads. Almost all the seats were taken. There were a few empty seats, but they were also filled with books and information like a bright flag declaring the territory. Lin Fan muttered in his heart, ¡®Seems like¡­ I can only stand and read.¡¯ At this moment, an extremely magnetic voice suddenly sounded from the side. ¡°Uhh¡­ Do you need a seat?¡± When Lin Fan heard that, he turned around slowly. A 167cm tall girl with long black hair and a pair of black-rimmed glasses was standing behind Lin Fan with a book on number theory. For some reason, Lin Fan felt that she looked familiar. He could not help but use his Eyes of Truth to observe her. [Appearance: 94] [Favorability: 65] When Lin Fan first laid eyes on her, he guessed that her looks were above 90 points. Therefore, he was not surprised that she scored 94 points. His favorability had reached 65, which was far above the passing line. Obviously, this woman had a good impression of him. Could it be¡­ Did he really know her? Lin Fan nodded his head slightly with a hint of doubt in his heart, ¡°I need a seat.¡± ¡°I¡­ There¡¯s an available seat beside me,¡± the girl said. After saying that, she took the lead and walked forward. After a while, the two of them came to an empty space with two stacks of documents. Lin Fan did not stand on ceremony and sat down. He opened Modern Algebra Foundation and started flipping through it. [Skill: Scanning] One page, two pages, three pages, four pages¡­ Immediately, the sound of books being flipped could be heard. In about two minutes, he was done reading the hundred-page Modern Algebra Foundation. Then, there was Abstract Algebra, Advanced Algebra, Algebra Equations, as well as Algebra and Geometry. He finished reading all five thick and obscure books in less than ten minutes. At the same time, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve completed the mission-Read Modern Algebra Foundation, Abstract Algebra, Advanced Algebra, Algebra Equations, Algebra and Geometry. You¡¯ve obtained the proof process of the Hail Conjecture.] All of a sudden, many complicated calculations and formulas flooded through Lin Fan¡¯s mind like a tidal wave. After a long while, his face revealed a hint of enlightenment. He muttered in his heart, ¡®So this is how the Hail Conjecture is proven.¡¯ When Lin Fan turned his head, he realized that the girl with black-rimmed glasses was thinking about a math question with her head lowered. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan finally remembered why he felt that she was familiar and why she had a good impression of him. That was because¡­ Back then, Lin Fan had gone to the library to read ten books on earthquakes and physics in order to obtain the earthquake prediction device and its manufacturing principles. At that time, this woman¡­ He happened to be sitting beside her. Before he left, Lin Fan was in a good mood. Therefore, he even helped her answer a question. Thinking back to what had happened, Lin Fan rubbed his nose and muttered in his heart, ¡®I helped her solve the problem, and she gave me a seat. Is this karma for good people?¡¯ Then, Lin Fan¡¯s gaze landed on the question again. Almost instantly, he knew how to answer the question. However, Lin Fan did not write down the answer directly. Instead, he reminded her, ¡°If you want to answer this question, you can first think about the basic structure of number theory.¡± After all, it was better to teach people to fish than to give them fish. The woman slowly raised her head and asked in confusion, ¡°Basic structure?¡± Lin Fan picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote down a formula. When the girl saw this, her beautiful eyes immediately lit up. She said in realization, ¡°Thank you, I understand now.¡± Lin Fan smiled and nodded. You should know my name, right?¡± It was no wonder he thought so. That was because Lin Fan had met her twice. Each time¡­ she was solving math questions. Lin Fan solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture. He solved two mathematical problems. He believed that if one was a mathematics major, one would be able to recognize him. This was not Lin Fan boasting; it was the truth. However¡­ The woman shook her head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t¡­¡± This sentence almost made Lin Fan choke. ¡°I¡¯m a physics major,¡± the woman said. ¡°My name is Lu Ling.¡± Only then did Lin Fan recover. Physics major¡­No wonder. He cleared his throat and said, ¡°My name is Lin Fan.¡± After saying each other¡¯s names, the two of them seemed to be more familiar with each other. ¡°I see that you often flip through a lot of books. Are you looking for something?¡± Lu Lin asked. ¡°I guess so,¡± Lin Fan said. What could he say? That he was just reading normally? Lu Lin would probably ask again, ¡°Then how do you read so fast?¡± Would Lin Fan then say that not only did he finish reading everything but he could even memorize everything without missing a single word? It would be a little troublesome to explain. Lin Fan hated trouble, so he did not bother explaining.. Chapter 248 - 248 No One Believes the Truth; Head to the Office! 248 No One Believes the Truth; Head to the Office! Lin Fan chatted with Lu Lin for a while before strolling back to the dormitory. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re finally here! I missed you so much!¡± Song Yi was the first to shout excitedly. After saying that, he opened his arms and looked like he wanted to hug Lin Fan. Lin Fan waved his hands. ¡°Forget about hugging. I only hug beautiful women.¡± Zheng Jinbao, who was sitting in front of the computer, heard the word ¡®beautiful¡¯, and his eyes lit up. He chuckled and said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, which pretty girl did you go out with these past few days?¡± Lin Fan laughed bitterly and said, ¡°I went to earn money from DiDi. I have no choice. Life isn¡¯t easy!¡± Zheng Jinbao directly filtered out the words ¡®life is not easy.¡¯ He widened his eyes and asked excitedly, ¡°F*ck, awesome!¡± Brother Lin Fan, tell me. How many pretty girls did you meet?¡± Obviously, he felt that Lin Fan had driven his supercar. How could ordinary beauties resist the temptation of a supercar? Lin Fan saw through Zheng Jinbao¡¯s thoughts at a glance and said, ¡°What are you thinking about? I didn¡¯t use a supercar.¡± ¡°What?¡± Zheng Jinbao was confused. At this moment, the sound of brisk footsteps could be heard from outside. Ma Zhong carried a stack of books and slowly walked in. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re back!¡± Ma Zhong said happily. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Yeah.¡± Then, Ma Zhong took out his phone and said, ¡°Oh right, when I passed by the parking lot just now, I saw a Rolls-Royce parked in our school!¡± Almost all men loved cars. The Rolls-Royce was the king of cars. When Song Yi and Zheng Jinbao heard this, they leaned their heads over. ¡°It¡¯s a Rolls-Royce Phantom!¡± Song Yi shouted. Lin Fan smiled casually, ¡°If you want to see, you can go over and take a look.¡± As he spoke, he placed the Rolls-Royce Phantom keys in his pocket on the table. Silence. He was most afraid of a sudden silence. After a while, Song Yi stuttered, ¡°B-Brother Lin Fan, is the Rolls-Royce Phantom yours too?¡± ¡°Yes, it is,¡± Lin Fan said. Lin Fan already owned several supercars, yet he had a Rolls-Royce Phantom now? Zheng Jinbao, Song Yi, and Ma Zhong shouted in unison, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re awesome!¡± At this moment, Zheng Jinbao seemed to have thought of something and asked, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, don¡¯t tell me you drove the Phantom when you were driving through DiDi?¡± As he spoke, he could not help but think of the scene when the passengers sat in the Rolls-Royce Phantom and were dumbfounded. ¡°I drove the Santana¡­ However, I earned this Rolls-Royce Phantom by driving through DiDi,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, do you think I¡¯m stupid?¡± Zheng Jinbao said. Was that not so? A Rolls-Royce Phantom cost ten million. DiDi? Even if he drove to his death, he would definitely not be able to earn that kind of money. Lin Fan smiled and shook his head. In fact¡­ Lin Fan did not just earn a Rolls-Royce Phantom from DiDi. He had earned ten cars from it! In addition, there was ten million in cash and 5% of Penguin Group¡¯s shares! Sometimes, the truth was hard to believe. When a group of young people were together, time seemed to slip away like sand in their palms. Soon, the bell rang. Lin Fan, Zheng Jinbao, Ma Zhong, Song Yi, and the others had already arrived at the classroom. They were not the only ones. There were many others who had similar actions. There was no empty seat in the classroom. It was because this was Teacher Tiantian¡¯s class. Following the sound of crisp footsteps, Teacher Tiantian, who was wearing a pure white short skirt and a light gray windbreaker, walked to the podium. Instantly, the entire classroom fell silent. Teacher Tiantian first looked at the students in the classroom. When she saw Lin Fan, her pretty face could not help but reveal a faint smile. This smile¡­ Like the rising sun in the winter, everyone¡¯s hearts almost melted. Then, Teacher Tiantian began today¡¯s class. Usually, when a teacher gave a lecture, most of the students would fall asleep and wish that the class would end in a second. However, Teacher Tiantian¡¯s class was the complete opposite. After the bell rang, many students began to complain. ¡°Why is class over so soon?¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± However, no matter how much they complained¡­ There would be no change in the time of the end of class. When Teacher Tiantian was about to leave the classroom, she suddenly stopped and said, ¡°Lin Fan, come to my office after school.¡± After saying that, she continued to walk out. Instantly, all the students in the classroom looked at Lin Fan with envy. Teacher Tiantian¡¯s invitation! Moreover, this was not the first time! Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Jinbao shouted in unison, ¡°Brother Fan, I¡¯ll kneel before you!¡± After saying that, they really did bend their knees slightly as if they were about to kneel. Lin Fan looked at their funny faces and wanted to laugh. ¡­ Lin Fan had been to Teacher Tiantian¡¯s office several times and was now very familiar with it. At this moment, Teacher Tiantian was the only one in the office. The quiet office and Teacher Tiantian, who was writing at her desk, formed a beautiful picture. When Teacher Tiantian heard the footsteps, she slowly raised her head. When she saw that it was Lin Fan, she could not help but smile. ¡°Do you want something to drink?¡± ¡°I¡¯m a little thirsty,¡± Lin Fan said. After saying that, he did not treat himself as an outsider. He directly picked up the cup that Teacher Tiantian had just drunk from and started drinking it. After all, with their relationship, there was no need for formalities. After Lin Fan drank the water, he looked at the calculations on Teacher Tiantian¡¯s desk and said, ¡°Are you still studying the Hail Conjecture? Hmm? There seems to be a problem here.¡± ¡°Where?¡± Teacher Tiantian asked. Lin Fan pointed at a formula. Then, he picked up a pen and paper and started writing. 2^m-3^£¨n+1£©>1m>n,2^m>3^£¨m+)¡­ ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll just write down the entire process,¡± Lin Fan said. Teacher Tiantian, who was sitting next to her, was stunned. Write down the entire process? Lin Fan picked up a new stack of draft paper. X1=3,X2=£¨3¡Á1+1£©2^2=1¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s writing speed was very fast. He did not think at all. The tip of the pen collided with the draft paper, making light and hurried sounds. At first, Teacher Tiantian was still looking down at Lin Fan¡¯s handwriting seriously. However, as time passed¡­ Gradually, Teacher Tiantian could not keep up even if she just watched. Then, Teacher Tiantian could not help but shift her gaze from the draft book to Lin Fan. She looked at Lin Fan¡¯s quick writing of the formula and his focused expression¡­ At this moment¡­ In Teacher Tiantian¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan did not seem to be writing down formulas. Instead, he was sitting on a gorgeous stage, gathering dazzling stage lights on himself while playing a beautiful piece of music. Teacher Tiantian¡¯s heart beat faster and faster as the rhythm of the movement rose and fell¡­ Chapter 249 - 249 Conjecture Answered; Invitation! 249 Conjecture Answered; Invitation! One by one, Lin Fan flipped through the draft papers filled with complicated equations and calculations. The speed at which Lin Fan wrote was getting faster and faster. In Teacher Tiantian¡¯s eyes, it was so charming and pleasant. It was as if this piano piece was full of ups and downs with endless climaxes. Teacher Tiantian¡¯s breathing even began to become a little hurried, and her beautiful cheeks were flushed. After writing on nearly 20 pages of draft paper, Lin Fan¡¯s fingers suddenly stopped. Then, he switched to the ballpoint pen in Teacher Tiantian¡¯s hand and wrote down the last line of calculations: Xs1 +1=(3Xs+1)/2 ^n, so 3n +1 is true! Lin Fan smiled, ¡°Hail Conjecture, solved.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Teacher Tiantian, who was sitting beside him, leaned her head over. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ? (¡¥¦ê¡¥?) ¡­ Teacher Tiantian was using her own way to express the excitement in her heart. When love was deep, it was difficult to control it. After more than an hour, the two of them slowly separated. Teacher Tiantian tidied up her clothes. Then, she turned her gaze back to the draft book filled with calculations and exclaimed, ¡°Lin Fan, you actually proved the Hail Conjecture!¡± After saying that, Teacher Tiantian could not help but look at Lin Fan with an extremely passionate gaze. ¡°Lin Fan, when did you start researching the Hail Conjecture?¡± ¡°The last time we met,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Yesterday¡­ Yesterday?¡± Teacher Tiantian said. ¡°Yeah.¡± Lin Fan nodded. Yesterday morning, Lin Fan said that he was more interested in driving through DiDi. In the future, he might be interested in the Hail Conjecture. Then¡­ After a day, he directly proved the Hail Conjecture? One had to know¡­ The Hail Conjecture was a super difficult problem that had stumped the entire world for nearly a hundred years! In the end, Lin Fan only used one day to solve it? What kind of genius was he? At this moment, in Teacher Tiantian¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan seemed to be emitting an incomparably dazzling light. He was so mesmerizing. ¡°Lin Fan,¡± Teacher Tiantian called out softly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Fan asked curiously. Teacher Tiantian did not say anything. She just moved her head closer. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ? (¡¥¦ê¡¥?) ¡­ This time, the two of them slowly separated when a patrolling security guard appeared outside the corridor. However, their separation was only temporary. Lin Fan went to Teacher Tiantian¡¯s house. ¡­ The next day. Since it was the weekend, neither of them had to go to school. Lin Fan and Hu Tian sat together and ate their breakfast leisurely. ¡°Lin Fan, which magazine do you want to publish the solution to Hail Conjecture on?¡± Hu Tian asked. Lin Fan took a mouthful of noodles and said, ¡°Publish it? It¡¯s too troublesome. I only proved it out of interest. If you want to publish it, just publish it.¡± When Hu Tian heard this, she felt both helpless and touched. If it was someone else who solved such a world-class problem, they would definitely be ecstatic. After that, they would analyze it again and again to see which magazine they should submit to. However, Lin Fan was so calm. He even handed over the solution to her and asked her to submit it. If she had any ill intentions, this huge achievement would completely belong to her. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll submit it to Annual Mathematics for you,¡± Hu Tian said. Lin Fan nodded his head nonchalantly and finished the last mouthful of broth. He praised, ¡°Your food is getting more and more delicious!¡± ¡°If you like it, eat more,¡± Hu Tian said happily. After chatting for a while, Lin Fan drove the Rolls-Royce Phantom toward the Coiling Dragon Villa. In the past, the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex was located closest to the lake. It was a villa that occupied a huge area. Now, it was empty. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan smiled and said in satisfaction, ¡°Wang Shengli is quite efficient. He took away all the bricks and stones. This is very suitable for planting tea leaves.¡± After saying that, he took the hoe and shovel that he had bought earlier and scattered the Spiritual Tea Seeds that he had obtained from the golden packet. He also watered them with the appropriate amount of water. Just like that, Lin Fan continued to sow and water the seeds in the Coiling Dragon Villa. Two days passed very leisurely and comfortably. After ordinary tea leaves were planted, even if they were carefully taken care of, given the best fertilizer, and had sufficient water¡­ There would definitely not be any changes in two days. However, the Spiritual Tea Seeds had sprouted. At this moment, standing in the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex and looking at the sky lake, Lin Fan could see a green scene full of vitality. At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was a call from President Ma of Penguin. Lin Fan did not hesitate and answered the call. ¡°Mr. Lin, how was your weekend?¡± As soon as he picked up the phone, President Ma¡¯s gentle voice came from the other end. Lin Fan said, ¡°I planted tea seeds and watered them. It was relaxing.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be someone who likes the rural life¡­¡± President Ma was a little surprised. Lin Fan smiled, ¡°What kind of person did you think I was?¡± President Ma thought for a moment and said, ¡°Generally speaking, young people like you are interested in lively parties and exciting sports. Or a challenging career¡­¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Compared to these, I would rather lie down.¡± After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, President Ma finally revealed the purpose of the call. ¡°By the way, Mr. Lin, Penguin Group has opened a new company in Jiangbei City. I wonder if you¡¯re free to go with me tomorrow?¡± Lin Fan remembered that he was the second largest shareholder of Penguin Group, but he had never been to the headquarters of Penguin Group. Of course, Lin Fan did not want to go to Yang City to see Penguin Group¡¯s headquarters. If he did not go to the headquarters, then the branch in Jiangbei¡­ Taking a look around seemed possible. Lin Fan replied, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go with you tomorrow.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± President Ma said happily. ¡°To be honest, I¡¯ve been missing the food in Jiangbei ever since I left. Mr. Lin, you must bring me out to eat again tomorrow!¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Of course!¡± The two of them chatted for a while before hanging up. Then, Lin Fan sent a request for leave to Sun Yaodong. Regarding this¡­ Sun Yaodong did not hesitate at all, nor did he ask for any reason. He directly chose to approve it. Chapter 250 - 250 Arriving at Penguins Branch; Hello, Mr. Lin! 250 Arriving at Penguin¡¯s Branch; Hello, Mr. Lin! The next morning. A breeze blew the branches gently. A ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and onto the balcony. Lin Fan finally opened his eyes. He first casually glanced at his phone and saw a text message appear on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 3,670,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Jiuzhou Bar.] Lin Fan muttered, ¡°A bar? What¡¯s the use of giving it to me? ¡°Forget it. It¡¯s better than ten million yuan.¡± Then, Lin Fan slowly got up. After washing up, he picked up the bread that had already been baked automatically and put it into his mouth. He then chewed on Wagyu beef, Australian lobster, crab, eggs, lettuce, and other food. Although the ingredients were relatively simple, the taste was not bad. Lin Fan was satisfied with the food. After breakfast, Lin Fan went to the lake and watered all the sprouts. Then, he drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class toward the Jiangbei branch of Penguin Group. Compared to the short sports car and the Rolls-Royce Phantom driven by a driver¡­ Lin Fan liked the sturdy and tall SUV Mercedes-Benz G-Class even more. As it was Monday, there were many cars on the road, and many sections were congested¡­ Lin Fan was not in a hurry and continued to move forward at a constant speed. He arrived at his destination at around 10:30 in the morning. Lin Fan parked the car and walked in. At this moment, a man in a checkered shirt slowly walked out of the beverage room beside the door with a cup of coffee. When he saw Lin Fan, he exclaimed, ¡°Lin Fan?¡± That was right! This man was Lin Fan¡¯s high school classmate, Shen Liang. After graduation, this was the third time Lin Fan had seen him. The first time was at a class reunion in Jiangbei. At that time, Shen Liang was considered one of the friendliest people to Lin Fan. After that, when their homeroom teacher was hospitalized, Shen Liang was one of the few people who specially rushed back to Qing City. In addition, Lin Fan and Shen Liang had a good relationship in high school. Overall, Lin Fan had a good impression of Shen Liang. ¡°Lin Fan, why did you come to our company?¡± Shen Liang asked. The last time they met, Shen Liang had also mentioned that he was working in IT. Lin Fan did not expect him to be working in IT at Penguin. Did that not mean that Shen Liang was his employee? ¡°Isn¡¯t this Penguin Group?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°I¡¯m here for a stroll.¡± Regarding this¡­ Shen Liang was not too surprised. This was because Penguin Group was a giant company in Hua Nation that had established its own online empire. In the past, many people could not help but run in to take a look when they passed by. ¡°Since you¡¯re already in our company, I¡¯ll be your guide!¡± Shen Liang said with a smile. ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Fan agreed immediately. Even though he had already agreed to meet with President Ma¡­ He had not seen President Ma just yet. He would just take a stroll first¡­ It was nothing. ¡°By the way, do you want a cup of coffee?¡± Shen Liang asked again. ¡°I think it tastes similar to Starbucks.¡± After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Lin Fan¡¯s reply and walked into the beverage room. As soon as they walked into the beverage room, they were greeted by the rich aroma of coffee. Shen Liang skillfully poured a cup of coffee from the coffee machine and handed it to Lin Fan. Then, he pointed at the various snacks piled up on the wall cabinet in the distance and said, ¡°Is there anything you want to eat? You can take whatever you want. It¡¯s all free.¡± ¡°Then give me a packet of QQ candy,¡± said Lin Fan. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to like this!¡± Shen Liang said with a smile. Then, Shen Liang brought Lin Fan inside and said, ¡°This is the design department. Many of the news photos come from here. ¡°This is the news department. There are many editors here. ¡°This is the gaming department¡­ The people in this department have the highest salary.¡± When Shen Liang said this, his face revealed a thick look of envy. ¡°That¡¯s our marketing department.¡± ¡­ Shen Liang introduced as he walked. Lin Fan nodded his head. The two of them were chatting and laughing. When they reached the corner, Shen Liang accidentally bumped into someone. When he raised his head, his entire body seemed to have been frozen. The person he hit¡­ He was wearing a black suit and had short hair. He was the IT director of the Jiangbei branch of Penguin Group! Beside the IT director stood the general manager, deputy chief supervisor, and many other top figures¡­ The chairman of Penguin Group, Mr. Ma, was surrounded by them! These people¡­ They were actually together! He had actually bumped into them? Moreover¡­ it was during working hours! Shen Liang only felt his head buzzing, and his entire face began to turn slightly pale. Penguin Group was the largest company in Hua Nation¡¯s internet industry. At the same time, it was also one of the few companies with the best treatment¡­ Countless people fought to enter Penguin. Back then, Shen Liang also spent a lot of effort to obtain this opportunity. Now¡­ he was afraid there would not be anything left. At this moment, President Ma, who was surrounded by people, smiled and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, when did you arrive? Why didn¡¯t you tell me? I could¡¯ve picked you up at the door!¡± As he spoke, President Ma took the initiative to extend his right hand toward Lin Fan. Lin Fan reached out his hand and shook it gently. This scene not only stunned Shen Liang but also the general manager, director, and department head. The general manager, director, and the others had learned from President Ma not long ago that a very important guest would be coming over later. In their opinion, the guest who was called a very important guest by President Xiao Ma must be at least 30 to 40 years old. Some people even started to guess if it was President Li. In the end, it turned out to be a young man who looked to be in his 20s? After meeting Lin Fan for the second time, Shen Liang knew that Lin Fan was a godly tycoon with a lot of connections. However¡­ He had never thought that Lin Fan would know President Ma! After all, there were too many tycoons in Hua Nation. However, how many people were there who could really interact with Xiao Ma? What was the situation now? Not only did President Ma know Lin Fan, but he even took the initiative to greet him and shake his hand. He was even willing to go out and welcome him personally? This¡­ This¡­ Who exactly was Lin Fan? Lin Fan smiled. ¡°I just met a friend. He brought me around, so I didn¡¯t tell you.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± President Ma said. ¡°Your friend?¡± Then, he extended his right hand toward Shen Liang and said, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Xiao Ma. How should I address you?¡± President Ma took the initiative to greet him, shake his hand, and ask for his name? Shen Liang felt his heart almost jump out of his chest. He said excitedly, ¡°Shen Liang, my name is Shen Liang!¡± Then, he stretched out his hands and held onto President Ma¡¯s right hand tightly. Chapter 251 - 251 Lunch; The General Managers Invitation! 251 Lunch; The General Manager¡¯s Invitation! No wonder Shen Liang would be like this. One had to know¡­ President Ma had built a small chat software into the world-famous Penguin Group step by step! In the eyes of countless people, especially those in the IT industry, President Ma was definitely a god-like existence! Now, this god was actually shaking hands with him! How could he not be excited? President Ma smiled and nodded. ¡°Hello, Mr. Shen.¡± ¡°Hello, hello,¡± Shen Liang said repeatedly. The two of them shook hands for a while before President Ma said to Lin Fan, ¡°Mr. Lin, can I show you around?¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Fan nodded. It was different from when Shen Liang brought Lin Fan out for a stroll. At this moment, Lin Fan was surrounded by a large group of people, including Penguin¡¯s Jiangbei branch¡¯s general manager, director, and President Ma. Every time Lin Fan walked into an office, there would be a round of applause. In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed. Lin Fan, President Ma, the director, Shen Liang, and the others arrived at Jiangbei Hotel. Obviously, the attendant had good eyes. After seeing them from afar, he immediately informed the manager, Zhang Shanfeng. Zhang Shanfeng hurriedly came over and arranged the best private room and the most delicious food. President Ma gently inhaled the fragrance that filled the room and praised, ¡°Smelling the fragrance on this table, my appetite is immediately whetted! First of all, thank you, Mr. Lin. It¡¯s thanks to you that we can taste such delicious food!¡± After saying that, President Ma picked up his wine glass. The general managers and directors around him followed¡­ As for Shen Liang, who was sitting beside Lin Fan, he was still in a daze. However, he also raised his wine glass. Then, everyone downed the wine in their glasses! ¡°President Ma, you¡¯re too polite.¡± Lin Fan smiled. As he spoke, he also drank a glass. ¡°Mr. Lin, what do you think of our Jiangbei branch?¡± asked Mr. Ma. Lin Fan said, ¡°The company has a fitness room, a beverage room, a game room, a sky park, a star-rated canteen¡­ It allows the employees to eat, drink, and play well while working¡­ Overall, it¡¯s not bad!¡± Lin Fan did not just casually praise him. Generally speaking, many companies did their best to squeeze their employees and did not pay attention to their health at all. There were very few companies like Penguin Group. When President Ma heard this, he could not help but smile. He said, ¡°Our company has always allowed our employees to work in a healthy and happy way¡­ ¡°In fact, the Jiangbei branch is completely based on our Penguin headquarters.¡± Everyone drank a few more glasses of wine and chatted for a while. President Ma finally told Lin Fan the reason why he came to Jiangbei today and asked Lin Fan out for a meal. ¡°In the past, I always thought that people would only have certain abilities and achievements when they reached the age of 30 and 40! ¡°It wasn¡¯t until I met you that I realized I was wrong! ¡°Mr. Lin, thank you for your support of Penguin Group! You¡¯ve also increased your shares to 10%, becoming the second largest shareholder of Penguin Group!¡± Silence! The entire private room suddenly fell silent! What did they hear? 10% of Penguin Group¡¯s shares! One had to know¡­ Penguin Group was a super giant company with a market value of five trillion. 10% of the shares, which meant¡­ Mr. Lin, who was in front of them, was worth more than 500 billion yuan? What a terrifying number! Originally, Shen Liang had gradually adapted to the atmosphere in the private room. However, when he heard this, he was stunned again. Lin Fan understood what Xiao Ma was thinking. He was just worried that he would interfere with Penguin¡¯s work. After all, the number of shares he held now had surpassed that of President Ma¡¯s. He had become the second largest shareholder of Penguin Group and had become an uncertain factor in the company. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Rather than saying that I¡¯m optimistic about Penguin Corporation, it¡¯s better to say that I¡¯m optimistic about the development of a small chat software into Penguin Group¡­ ¡°Therefore, my shares will not interfere with any of the company¡¯s work¡­ I¡¯ll just earn the dividends according to the profits.¡± As expected, when President Ma heard this, an obvious smile immediately appeared on his face. He said, ¡°Thank you, Mr. Lin. I won¡¯t disappoint you!¡± Then, he raised his glass again and drank it in one gulp. The meal lasted for nearly two hours. After that, Lin Fan did not go to the Jiangbei branch of Penguin Group. Instead, he went straight to Coiling Dragon Villa and lay down on the soft bed before falling asleep. An afternoon nap was a necessity for a handsome man. ¡­ President Ma did not stay in Jiangbei for long. After personally sending Lin Fan to his car, he took the nearest flight to Yang Cheng. As the leader of a big group with a market value of five trillion yuan, President Ma was very busy every day. As for visiting the Jiangbei branch of Penguin Group? To be honest, he was not interested at all. One had to know¡­ Penguin Group had branches in dozens of cities in Hua Nation. If he had to visit every branch¡­ In that case, he would be visiting branches every day. He would have to fly around every day. The real reason was that he was worried that Lin Fan, the second largest shareholder, would affect the future of the company. ¡­ At this moment, in the Jiangbei branch of Penguin Group. Shen Liang sat at his desk and looked at the progress of his work in the morning. Then, he prepared to continue working. At this moment, a sweet-looking woman slowly walked over. ¡°Hello, Mr. Shen. The general manager would like to see you in his office,¡± she said softly. Shen Liang¡¯s heart tightened slightly, and many reasons immediately surfaced in his mind. He was extremely nervous, but he finally knocked on the door of the general manager¡¯s office. ¡°Please come in!¡± The general manager¡¯s deep voice rang out in the office. When the general manager saw that it was Shen Liang, he hurriedly stood up and said with a bright smile, ¡°Shen Liang, quickly sit!¡± Then, the general manager personally poured him a cup of good tea and said, ¡°Come, have a cup of tea.¡± The general manager personally poured tea for him? Shen Liang was flattered. ¡°Shen Liang, I noticed you a long time ago. After all, very few young people can work so well. ¡°In addition, you also obtained good results in the last basketball game¡­ Basketball is a sport that tests your ability to organize and coordinate. This shows that you have good leadership and coordination skills. ¡°Shen Liang, I have high hopes for you¡­ It¡¯s really a waste for you to be in this small marketing department all the time. ¡°I¡¯ve taken a look. The gaming department is lacking a supervisor. Are you interested in the role? Chapter 252 - 252 Agreed; Review! 252 Agreed; Review! Shen Liang was stunned when he heard the general manager¡¯s words. He was doing his work well? Last month, he was criticized by his supervisor for his poor marketing data. Playing basketball could show his ability to organize and coordinate? Even if there was a basis to that¡­ That had nothing to do with him, right? In that basketball game, he only played as a substitute for a few minutes and did not score a single point. Just this¡­ It was considered a good result? When the general manager saw that Shen Liang did not reply, he could not help but say again, ¡°Of course, if you don¡¯t like the role of a supervisor in the game department, you can choose another job.¡± At this moment, Shen Liang finally came back to his senses and hurriedly said, ¡°I like it. I like the job!¡± One had to know¡­ The gaming department was the most profitable department in Penguin Group. At the same time, it was also the department that Shen Liang wanted to enter the most. Now¡­ not only would he be able to go to the gaming department, but he would also become a supervisor! If he rejected this, Shen Liang felt that he would regret it for the rest of his life. ¡°That¡¯s great. You can report to the gaming department tomorrow,¡± the general manager said. Shen Liang nodded his head happily. In his heart, he was silently thanking Lin Fan. He understood that all of this¡­ was because of Lin Fan. ¡­ On the other hand, Hu Tian spent two days writing the solution to the Hail Conjecture written by Lin Fan into a thesis. Then, under Lin Fan¡¯s name, she sent it to Annual Mathematics, one of the top four mathematics journals. ¡­ At this time, it was dawn in America. Felder, the editor of Annual Mathematics, tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. He kept complaining, ¡°In the future, if someone invites me for coffee at night, I¡¯ll definitely tell that person to f*ck off!¡± Helpless, he finally got up and sighed. ¡°What should I do now? Play games for a while? Forget it. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to sleep the entire night. ¡°Watch a movie? It would be a good thing to be with a beautiful woman.¡± Felder thought for a moment and said, ¡°Perhaps I should check my email¡­ Maybe there¡¯ll be some boring submissions. Those are the best thing for hypnosis.¡± As he spoke, he had already walked to the table and turned on his computer. He even muttered, ¡°Getting up to work in the middle of the night¡­ Is there anyone in this world who loves work more than me? Chief Editor Ryan should really give me more bonuses.¡± As soon as Felder logged into his email, an email appeared on the bottom right corner of the screen. ¡°Hail Conjecture proof process? Someone actually sent such a manuscript. I can almost imagine the boring content inside¡­ However, this is exactly what I want!¡± As Felder spoke, he opened the email. At first, he only took a few casual glances. However, gradually, he began to frown¡­ Felder was the editor of Annual Mathematics, but that did not mean he knew nothing about mathematics. On the contrary, his mathematical ability and vision were even better than the average mathematics professor. ¡°This manuscript doesn¡¯t seem so boring¡­¡± Felder muttered. ¡°Moreover, it seems to make sense¡­¡± Then, his gaze slowly fell on the author¡¯s name at the bottom right corner. ¡°Lin Fan from Jiangbei University?¡± Seeing this¡­ Felder seemed to have thought of something, and his pupils shrank. ¡°Lin Fan? The Lin Fan who solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture?¡± Ordinary foreigners might not know Lin Fan. However, Lin Fan¡¯s name could be said to be famous in the mathematics world. ¡°If it¡¯s him¡­¡± Felder said. ¡°This shouldn¡¯t be a draft that I can review. I have to pass it to Chief Editor Ryan. That way, he can see that I¡¯m still working hard in the middle of the night.¡± Felder forwarded the email. ¡­ The next morning. Chief Editor Ryan had a habit of spending an hour every morning reading through all the emails. After a while, he noticed the email that Felder forwarded. When Ryan saw the email title, he frowned and said, ¡°Why did Felder send a submission to me? Did he have a high fever in the middle of the night?¡± In his opinion, as an editor of a top mathematics journal, he should have the most basic judgment. Throwing the papers that claimed to solve the Hail Conjecture, Riemann¡¯s Conjecture, Goldbach¡¯s Conjecture, and so on into the trash without hesitation was one of the most basic judgments. Ryan did not look at the content of the thesis. Instead, he glanced at the author¡¯s name out of habit. The next moment, his pupils shrank like Felder¡¯s. ¡°Lin Fan?!¡± Then, Ryan¡¯s expression turned serious as he carefully flipped through the thesis with an extremely focused gaze. After a long time, he rubbed his sore eyebrows and said, ¡°What an incredible calculation. However, whether the calculation is correct or not still needs to be verified by a great professor¡± ¡°Professor Jeffrey from Princeton,¡± Ryan muttered. ¡°He¡¯s an expert in abstract algebra. Let him do the review.¡± Then, he covered up the author¡¯s name and forwarded it to Professor Jeffrey. Then, Ryan sent a message to Felder. [I¡¯ve seen your hard work. This month¡­ Your bonus will be doubled.] Felder: [Thank you, Chief Editor Ryan!] ¡­ Princeton, Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics. After a young man finished his work, he looked at Professor Jeffrey, who was almost buried in books. He asked, ¡°Professor, you seem to have a lot of work to deal with. Do you need me to bring you a sandwich?¡± Jeffrey slowly raised his head and smiled. ¡°There¡¯s never enough work to be done, but I still have to eat. I¡¯ll go eat with you.¡± At this moment, an email popped up on Jeffrey¡¯s computer. He clicked on it. In the next moment, Jeffrey¡¯s entire body seemed to have been immobilized. He instantly stopped moving, and only his eyes were fixed on the screen, staring at the series of complicated calculations. ¡°Professor?¡± the young man called out softly. ¡°Professor?¡± Jeffrey finally reacted. ¡°Oh, oh¡­ You¡¯d better bring me a sandwich. I still have work to deal with.¡± The young man complained in his heart, ¡®Didn¡¯t you just say that you can never finish your work, but you still have to eat? Why did this change in the blink of an eye?¡¯ Of course, he only dared to complain in his heart. Jeffrey had no intention of answering him. He kept staring at the screen, his face full of excitement. Chapter 253 - 253 Investigation Results; Head to the Bar! 253 Investigation Results; Head to the Bar! To Lin Fan, solving the Hail Conjecture was just a simple task. He did not care about it at all, and naturally, he did not pay attention to the reactions of others. When Lin Fan woke up, it was already 5 PM. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID. It was Deng Jihu, the captain of the Jiangbei Investigation Department. Lin Fan did not hesitate and answered the call. ¡°Mr. Lin, am I disturbing you?¡± Deng Jihu asked carefully. Lin Fan said, ¡°No, I just woke up. Is there anything?¡± Deng Jihu said, ¡°The person who robbed you with a knife last time has already confessed all his bad deeds. We¡¯ve handed him over to the court. If nothing goes wrong, he¡¯ll be sentenced to more than ten years. ¡°In addition, Jiangbei will be conducting a city-wide crackdown for a month regarding this armed robbery¡­ ¡°We¡¯ll strictly investigate and punish all those who engage in criminal activities¡­ What do you think of this?¡± The captain of Jiangbei City¡¯s investigation team was speaking to a young man in his 20s with such respect. If others knew about this, they would definitely be shocked. Lin Fan said, ¡°You handled it well.¡± When Deng Jihu heard this, he was extremely happy. Then, he found a topic to chat about for a while before hanging up. Lin Fan lay on the bed and casually played with his phone. Not long after, his stomach let out a soft growl. Hence, Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and found a restaurant with a better environment. He ordered black truffle egg tarts, seafood curry, caviar chocolate¡­ He spent a total of 24,899 yuan on a simple meal before he slowly walked out. At this moment, the sky had already darkened. Lin Fan raised his head and saw something not too far away¡­ It was Jiuzhou Bar, and it was flashing with dazzling neon lights. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan was stunned. Was this not the bar he had obtained today? He rubbed his slightly round belly and thought that since he had nothing to do anyway, visiting his bar would be a good way to digest his food. Even though the distance was not too far, Lin Fan still started the Mercedes-Benz and drove over. At this moment, many cars were like carps crossing the river, gathering in the parking lot of Jiuzhou Bar. Beautiful women and handsome men with good figures stood at the door as if they were waiting for someone. When they saw handsome men and women walking out of Porsches, Ferraris, and other cars, they seemed to have finally met the person they were waiting for and quickly went up to them. Lin Fan was driving a Mercedes-Benz G that cost nearly two million yuan. Coupled with his tall and handsome appearance, he quickly attracted a woman with heavy makeup and revealing clothes. ¡°Hey, handsome. Do you want to have a drink with me?¡± the woman asked. Lin Fan used his Eyes of Truth to take a glance. [Appearance: 70] [Favorability: 50] One had to know¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s women, such as Qin Yuxuan, Han Tian, Qiu Ziqian, and Huang Ling¡­ Which one of them was not a great beauty with a score of 90 points or above? He was used to eating delicacies, so how could he be interested in rotten vegetables? Hence, Lin Fan said, ¡°Not interested.¡± After saying that, he walked in. The woman with heavy makeup stomped her feet in anger and said, ¡°What are you being so cocky for? Isn¡¯t it just a Mercedes G-Class? Maybe it¡¯s even rented!¡± Then, she returned to her previous position. When Lin Fan walked into the bar, loud music echoed in his ears. Many people gathered in front of the small booth, chatting and drinking. At this moment, a waiter walked over and asked, ¡°Sir, do you have a reservation? Obviously, this ordinary waiter did not know that Lin Fan was his boss. Lin Fan said, ¡°No. If there¡¯s an empty seat, help me get a better one.¡± ¡°Alright, this way, please.¡± Soon, Lin Fan was arranged to sit in the middle of the table. It was indeed a better seat as he said. Lin Fan nodded his head in satisfaction and said casually, ¡°Help me get two bottles of Golden Ace of Spades, some fruits, and snacks.¡± When the waiter heard this, he was extremely excited. One had to know¡­ A bottle of Golden Ace of Spades was worth nearly 4,000 yuan. Two bottles¡­ that was nearly 8,000 yuan. With some fruits and snacks, it was about 10,000 yuan! To him, this was already considered a good performance. ¡°Okay, please wait a moment.¡± After the waiter finished speaking, he hurriedly ran over to bring the wine and snacks over. Lin Fan poured a glass of Ace of Spades and took a sip. He nodded and said, ¡°It¡¯s not bad. It¡¯s authentic.¡± At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly sounded behind him. ¡°Brother Lin Fan?¡± Lin Fan turned his head slowly and said, ¡°Tan Shengyu.¡± ¡°Hahaha! Brother Lin Fan, it¡¯s really you!¡± Tan Shengyu strode over and called out happily. The woman with the typical face of an internet celebrity beside Tan Shengyu asked, ¡°Shengyuu, who is he?¡± ¡°This is Brother Lin Fan, the boss of the circle of Jiangbei¡¯s rich young masters!¡± Tan Shengyu said.¡± ¡°Boss? More powerful than you?¡± the woman asked. ¡°How can I compare to Brother Lin Fan?!¡± Tan Shengyu said. When the woman heard this, her gaze toward Lin Fan lit up. Lin Fan smiled, ¡°Stop exaggerating.¡± ¡°How is that exaggerating?¡± Tan Shengyu asked. ¡°This is the truth! ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re here for Ling Rou too, right?¡± Tan Shengyu asked after a pause. ¡°Ling Rou?¡± Lin Fan asked curiously. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, didn¡¯t you come to Jiuzhou Bar for her?¡± Tan Shengyu asked. Lin Fan shook his head. ¡°Before you said it, I¡¯d never heard of this name.¡± ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡± Tan Shengyu said. ¡°However, Brother Lin Fan, you came at the right time. I heard that Ling Rou is coming to sing today. ¡°Ling Rou not only sings well, but she¡¯s also very beautiful!¡± The woman with the face of an internet celebrity said, ¡°Is she very beautiful? Is she prettier than me?¡± Tan Shengyu coughed lightly and said, ¡°You¡¯re not as beautiful as her.¡± The woman snorted. Her pretty face was still a little unhappy. ¡°Hey, hey, hey!¡± At this moment, the DJ standing in the middle of the stage of Jiuzhou Bar suddenly picked up the microphone and said, ¡°Let¡¯s welcome our singer today, Ling Rou, onto the stage!¡± Suddenly, a round of applause rang out in Jiuzhou Bar. Then, a woman with exquisite facial features, hair like a waterfall, and a voluptuous figure slowly walked onto the stage. Her skin was very fair and tender. Under the light of the bar, she looked so delicate and fragile. Seeing this¡­ Even Lin Fan, who had seen countless beauties before, was stunned. Then, Lin Fan could not help but use the Eyes of Truth on her. [Appearance: 96] [Favorability: 30] 96 points of attractiveness! Just as Tan Shengyu had said, Ling Rou was indeed a great beauty! Chapter 254 - 254 Singing; Original Song! 254 Singing; Original Song! Ling Rou looked around the bar with her big, gem-like eyes. Then, she gently opened her willow-like lips and let out a sound that sounded like the strings of a zither. ¡°Welcome to Jiuzhou Bar. I¡¯ll sing ¡®Content¡¯. I hope everyone will like it.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, slightly low music immediately sounded in the bar. Then, Ling Rou slowly opened her mouth. ¡°Oh, to have a rainbow. Oh, to embrace the summer wind. ¡°The stars in the sky laugh at the people on the ground. I can¡¯t understand it, I can¡¯t feel that it¡¯s enough¡­¡± Her voice was filled with magnetism, adding a touch of joy to the overall melody. It gave people a sense of anticipation and desire for love. After the song ended, a round of applause rang out in the bar. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, what do you think? Ling Rou is pretty, right?¡± Tan Shengyu asked. ¡°Her singing isn¡¯t bad, right?¡± Lin Fan nodded his head in agreement. One had to know¡­ Lin Fan had Heavenly Voice. At the same time, he was proficient in cello, violin, piano, guitar¡­ It could be said that he was an expert among experts in music. The fact that Lin Fan could acknowledge Ling Rou was enough to prove that she sang well. Next, Ling Rou sang songs like ¡®Red High Heels¡¯ and ¡®Prose Poetry Written by My Father¡¯. Without exception, all the songs were sung very well. After each song ended, she received applause from many people. At this moment, Ling Rou spoke again, ¡°Next, I¡¯ll sing my original song, ¡®Sword Dance¡¯. I hope everyone will like it.¡± The music in the bar paused for a moment. Immediately after, very lively music sounded. ¡°An original song?¡± Tan Shengyu asked in surprise. ¡°Ling Rou actually knows how to write songs?¡± Lin Fan¡¯s face was filled with curiosity. After the prelude, Ling Rou opened her willow-shaped lips again. ¡°The trees in the mountains form a forest, the curved stream flows, the handsome man wields a long sword, and the fallen leaves don¡¯t stick to his body¡­¡± They all focused their attention on Ling Rou and listened quietly. At this moment¡­ They had a vague feeling that Ling Rou was not wearing a casual outfit and standing on the bar stage. Instead, she had changed into an ancient costume and was standing in the forest, waving the sword in her hand quickly. The sword shadow was like light, the sword wind was like lightning, and the fallen leaves were like rain¡­ Her movements were so clean, neat, elegant, and filled with endless beauty. It was utterly fascinating. Finally, Ling Rou slowly sang the last line of the lyrics. At the same time, the music in the bar gradually stopped. The next moment, the entire bar was filled with thunderous applause. ¡°Ling Rou is beautiful and has a sweet voice!¡± Tan Shengyu exclaimed excitedly. ¡°Her original song is so good!¡± The woman with the face of an internet celebrity said angrily, ¡°If you like her so much, then go after her!¡± Tan Shengyu seemed to realize that the woman was still beside him. He coughed lightly and said, ¡°She¡¯s beautiful, but so are you! She¡¯s a different kind of beauty¡­ I admire you. I like you.¡± When the woman heard this, she revealed a satisfied expression. Then, Tan Shengyu said to Lin Fan, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, we made the right choice to come here today. To be able to create such a beautiful original song, I think she¡¯ll definitely become a big singer if she¡¯s able to hold concerts!¡± Lin Fan nodded his head. In the next moment, a strange expression appeared on his face. That was because a crisp notification sounded out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! If you hold a concert with more than 100,000 spectators, you¡¯ll be rewarded with ten silver packets.] This was¡­ Did he trigger a mission? Tan Shengyu seemed to have noticed the change in Lin Fan¡¯s expression and asked, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that Ling Rou would become a big star if she holds a concert?¡± Lin Fan asked. Tan Shengyu nodded in confusion and said, ¡°Yeah, why?¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll hold one for her!¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Hold a concert for her?¡± Tan Shengyu was stunned. At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from afar. A round-faced man in a suit and leather shoes walked over quickly. He bowed and said in a very respectful tone, ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t realize you were here sooner.¡± ¡°Are you the manager of Jiuzhou Bar?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Yes,¡± the round-faced man replied even more respectfully.¡± Today, when he suddenly found out that the bar had changed owners, he was very nervous. It was because he did not know what the new boss was like. Would he fire him and replace him with a confidant? Therefore, from morning until now, the round-faced man had a lot on his mind as he sat alone in the office. It was not until he heard Ling Rou¡¯s original song ¡®Sword Dance¡¯ that he could not help but walk out of the office. It was also at this moment that the round-faced man suddenly discovered that his new boss was actually in the bar. This gave him a huge shock. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Li Zhuang, my name is Li Zhuang,¡± the round-faced man said. ¡°Manager Li, do you have a quieter place here?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Yes, we have a private room here, a luxurious private room,¡± Li Zhuang said. Then, under Li Zhuang¡¯s lead, Lin Fan, Tan Shengyu, and the woman quickly arrived at a spacious private room. Lin Fan said, ¡°Can you ask Ling Rou to come?¡± This sentence made Li Zhuang hesitate for a moment. He said very carefully, ¡°Uh¡­ Ling Rou could be considered a small-time singer¡­ When she came to our bar, she announced long ago that she would only sing¡­¡± Obviously, Li Zhuang had misunderstood. He thought that Lin Fan wanted Ling Rou to drink with him and even wanted to do something to her. Ling Rou was simply too beautiful. Many customers had similar thoughts about her. Furthermore, Lin Fan suddenly moved to a private room. It was no wonder¡­ Li Zhuanghui thought too much. Obviously, Lin Fan understood his thoughts. Regarding this¡­ Not only was Lin Fan not angry, but he even nodded his head in satisfaction. If Ling Rou was really willing to sing with him or even do something else, Lin Fan would not have any interest in calling her over. ¡°Don¡¯t worry and call her over. I just wish to discuss some singing matters with her,¡± Lin Fan said. When Li Zhuangyan heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief and said respectfully, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get Ling Rou to come over now.¡± After Li Zhuang left, Tan Shengyu could not help but ask, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, are you very familiar with Li Zhuang?¡± Lin Fan shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s my first time seeing him too.¡± Hearing this, Tan Shengyu¡¯s expression became even more confused. Lin Fan continued, ¡°It¡¯s just that I¡¯m the boss of Jiuzhou Bar.¡± Chapter 255 - 255 Relax; Do You Want to Hold a Concert? 255 Relax; Do You Want to Hold a Concert? Tan Shengyu knew that Lin Fan was the boss of Jiangbei¡¯s circle of rich young masters. He had even invested one billion yuan and successfully increased it by four times. Therefore, he was only a little surprised that Lin Fan was the boss of Jiuzhou Bar. The expression of the woman with the internet celebrity face standing beside him was completely different. She understood¡­ how much it would cost to open a large bar like Jiuzhou in the center of Jiangbei. At this moment, Ling Rou, who had been singing on stage earlier, slowly walked in under Li Zhuang¡¯s lead. She held her phone tightly and looked at Lin Fan and the others with extreme vigilance. Obviously, she was very afraid. It was no wonder¡­ No matter what, Ling Rou was just an ordinary woman. In front of her were three men¡ªLin Fan, Li Zhuang, and Tan Shengyu. If they had any evil intentions, it would be very terrifying. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan could not help but laugh. ¡°Relax. I¡¯m Lin Fan. I don¡¯t have any ill intentions toward you. Do you want to drink something?¡± After hearing Lin Fan¡¯s voice, Ling Rou did not know why, but the fear in her heart immediately lessened. However, she still shook her head and said, ¡°No, thank you.¡± Lin Fan did not force her and nodded. ¡°Do you have any plans for the future?¡± Ling Rou was stunned for a moment. She did not know why Lin Fan would ask this question. For a moment, she did not know how to answer. Lin Fan said, ¡°Tell me more details¡­ I think that singing in the bar is only temporary, right? Have you thought about your future plans?¡± Even though Ling Rou did not know why Lin Fan asked this question, she still replied, ¡°If there¡¯s a chance, I might participate in a program like ¡®Good Song¡¯ or become a music teacher.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°I just heard you sing ¡®Content¡¯, ¡®Red High Heels¡¯, ¡®Prose Poetry Written By My Father¡¯¡­ as well as your original song, ¡®Sword Dance¡¯. ¡°Especially ¡®Sword Dance¡¯, the melody is light, free and easy, and very enjoyable. Do you have any other original songs?¡± Ling Rou nodded. ¡°I¡¯ve written more than ten songs.¡± ¡°Can you sing a few more songs for me?¡± Lin Fan asked. Ling Rou did not hesitate and replied, ¡°Sure.¡± Moreover, she had already found out from Li Zhuang that Lin Fan was the new boss of Jiuzhou Bar. She was the resident singer of Jiuzhou Bar, so she could be considered an employee. It was naturally not a problem for the boss to ask her to sing a few songs. Then, Ling Rou said, ¡°Should I sing a cappella here?¡± ¡°Do you know how to play the guitar?¡± Lin Fan said. Ling Rou nodded. Lin Fan said to Li Zhuang, who had been standing at the side. ¡°Manager Li, can you get me a guitar?¡± ¡°Alright, please wait a moment.¡± After a while, Li Zhuang came in with a guitar. Ling Rou stretched out her slender fingers and gently plucked the strings. ¡°This is a song I wrote in my early days. It¡¯s called ¡®The World of Man¡¯.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, her jade-like fingers quickly fiddled with the guitar strings. Instantly, a crisp and pleasant song reverberated in the room. After about ten minutes, Ling Rou sang a total of four songs. Each song had its own unique characteristics. Coupled with Ling Rou¡¯s magnetic voice, it was very pleasant to listen to. Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Do you want to hold a concert?¡± This sudden question caused Ling Rou to be unable to react. As a result, she was unable to answer immediately. ¡°Do you want to hold a concert?¡± Lin Fan asked again. At this moment, Ling Rou finally reacted and said seriously, ¡°That¡¯s my biggest dream!¡± After saying this, Ling Rou seemed to imagine the countless crowds below the stage. Her eyes faintly lit up. Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°Alright. Then you should get prepared. In about a week, I¡¯ll hold a large-scale concert for you at the city¡¯s stadium.¡± Everyone was stunned once again. One had to know¡­ To hold a concert in the city stadium, just renting the venue alone would probably cost nearly a million yuan. Moreover, the concert also required the rental of lights, sound system, and stage¡­ These added up to millions. Just by listening to a few songs, he wanted to spend millions to hold a concert for her? Lin Fan did not bother about it and continued, ¡°You sang the few songs just now quite well! However, the best song is still ¡®Sword Dance¡¯. Perhaps¡­ you¡¯re more suited for that kind of style. ¡°Such songs should be more suitable for you to sing.¡± As he spoke, Lin Fan picked up the guitar and slowly strummed the strings under everyone¡¯s puzzled gazes. ¡°This is a song that I just composed. The tentative name is ¡®Galaxy¡¯.¡± In the next moment¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s fingers that were strumming the guitar suddenly became faster and faster. ¡°It¡¯s a clear and cloudless night. A full moon hangs in the sky. Her long clothes dance in the wind. She¡¯s as soft as feathers, as light as a swan, and as fair as jade¡­¡± Originally, no one was paying much attention. However, when Lin Fan started playing the guitar and singing, everyone¡¯s faces were filled with shock and horror. Soon, it was replaced by enjoyment and fascination. Lin Fan played the guitar and sang so well! At this moment¡­ In everyone¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan seemed to be above the boundless night sky. The full moon hung high above his head, and the white clouds under his feet formed a blanket. He casually pulled out the green dragon sword at his waist and waved it in the wind. His movements were elegant and mysterious, causing the stars in the night sky to gather into a vortex, flow into a long river, and explode into fireworks¡­ He¡­ He was an invincible sword immortal in the world! ¡°In the end, I split apart the chaos and the universe with a single sword strike!¡± When Lin Fan sang the last line of the song, his right hand that was strumming the guitar slowly stopped. The sound lingered and rippled. Silence. The entire luxurious private room was silent. Everyone was still immersed in the song, unable to extricate themselves. About five seconds later, Tan Shengyu was the first to come back to his senses and shouted excitedly, ¡°F*ck! This is great!¡± With his poor vocabulary, he could not describe how good it was. He could only express his admiration by saying ¡®f*ck¡¯. ¡°Sing another song, sing another song, Brother Lin Fan!¡± However, Lin Fan did not do as he wished. He waved his hand and said, ¡°Maybe next time.¡± Then, he placed the guitar on the table and said to Ling Rou, ¡°Add this song to the concert.¡± Ling Rou took a deep breath and slowly suppressed the excitement and admiration in her heart. ¡°Alright!¡± Earlier, she had suspected that Lin Fan was joking about the concert. However, after hearing Lin Fan sing Galaxy, she subconsciously chose to believe him. Chapter 256 - 256 Alphabet; News 256 Alphabet; News Lin Fan stayed in Jiuzhou Bar until 10 PM. Then, he went straight to Yi Ke City. Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian, who were sitting on the sofa and watching TV, were very happy to see Lin Fan. ¡°Darling, you came at the right time. I just bought a lot of clothes today,¡± Qiu Ziqian said. Lin Fan could not help but reveal a puzzled look. Bought a lot of clothes? What did this have to do with him? She did not need to wear her clothes at night. Qiu Ziqian seemed to have noticed Lin Fan¡¯s confusion and smiled, ¡°Nurse, female investigator, maid¡­¡± When Lin Fan heard this, his heart started beating faster. Huang Ling¡¯s face turned red all the way to her neck. It was nighttime¡­ Outside, the wind was howling and the rain was pouring, causing the entire building to shake. ¡­ The next day, the sky was clear. After the rain at night, the branches became extremely tender and green, and the air also had a touch of spring fragrance. Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes and looked at his phone. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 3,670,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, he turned his attention to the check-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 5% of Alphabet¡¯s shares.] Seeing this¡­ Even Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. Lin Fan already had Penguin and Little Tanuki¡¯s shares. Now, he had the shares of Alphabet. In this way, he would be the common boss of the three giants of Hua Nation¡¯s internet industry! This was definitely something to be happy about. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, it should be even easier to complete the concert mission.¡± Then, he picked up his phone and dialed one number after another. ¡­ About 20 minutes later, Lin Fan got out of bed and enjoyed the breakfast that Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling had made. He then drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class toward Jiangbei University. Time in the school was very relaxed and leisurely. Time flew by like water. As the school bell rang, Lin Fan, Ma Zhong, Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and the others slowly walked to the cafeteria as usual. They had just finished queuing up to get their food. At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket vibrated. 12:00! The red packets were here!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 88 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 9 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 6,666 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 20,000 yuan.] Lin Fan tapped on the screen and received a total of 50,321 yuan. He did not care about it at all and threw his phone back into his pocket. Then, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating leisurely. After the meal, Lin Fan lay on the bed and fell asleep. Meanwhile, in the girls¡¯ dormitory of Jiangbei University¡­ Song Jiaxin sat by the window, reading a management book seriously. Just as Song Jiaxin said, she chose mathematics purely out of interest. However, as the daughter of the Song family, she naturally could not just consider her interests. She also needed to have the corresponding management ability. Otherwise, after she graduated and started a company or became a president or CEO, it would be very easy for the company to have problems. Therefore, in her spare time, Song Jiaxin would read some books on management and economics. In many people¡¯s eyes, they always felt that rich kids only knew how to eat, drink, and play. However, they did not know that many rich kids worked harder than they imagined. At this moment, the phone next to Song Jiaxin vibrated slightly. She casually glanced at the screen and realized that someone in the Future Group had sent a message. Tan Shengyu: [Brother Lin Fan can actually sing!] Liu Yuhang: [You heard Brother Lin Fan sing? Was it nice?] Tan Shengyu said: [It can¡¯t even be described as pleasant to the ears! It was simply too good! I swear, that was definitely the best song I¡¯ve ever heard in my life!] Seeing this¡­ Even Song Jiaxin could not help but be interested. She quickly sent a message. Song Jiaxin: [What song did Lin Fan sing?] Tan Shengyu: [Galaxy? That¡¯s right! That¡¯s the name!] Sun Luguo: [Galaxy? I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve heard this song before.] Zhang Bin: ¡®I haven¡¯t heard of it either.] Tan Shengyu: [Of course, you guys haven¡¯t heard it. It¡¯s a song that Brother Lin Fan composed himself on the spot!] Liu Yuhang was speechless. Brother Lin Fan could write songs? Tan Shengyu said: [It¡¯s more than just writing songs. Moreover, Brother Lin Fan knows how to play the guitar! The way he played and sang was simply amazing!] When Song Jiaxin read this, her eyes lit up. It was as if she could already see the scene of Lin Fan playing the guitar and singing. Tan Shengyu said: [Oh right, Brother Lin Fan is planning to hold a concert at the city stadium.] Liu Yuhang: [Brother Lin Fan¡¯s concert? Tell me when!] Tan Shengyu: [Ahem, it¡¯s not Brother Lin Fan¡¯s concert, but¡­ He¡¯s planning to hold a concert for a resident singer in Jiuzhou Bar.] Tan Shengyu: [That singer¡¯s singing is pretty good too. Oh right, when the time comes, she¡¯ll also sing the song Galaxy that¡¯s written by Brother Lin Fan.] Liu Yuhang: [No matter what, I must support Brother Lin Fan¡¯s concert!] Duan Qian: [That¡¯s right!] Sun Luguo: [Holding a concert for the resident singer in a stadium¡­ is Brother Lin Fan preparing to enter the entertainment industry?] Liu Yuhang: [Entertainment industry? Hehe, this is not a bad idea!] Zhang Bin: ]Brother Lin Fan is holding a concert at the city stadium? This isn¡¯t a small event! However, since Brother Lin Fan wants to do it, we have to help him promote it.] Zhang Bin: [By the way, when is Brother Lin Fan going to hold his concert?] Tan Shengyu: ¡°Brother Lin Fan said a week later.¡± Zhang Bin: [A week? It¡¯s a little short. I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen any publicity for the concert.] Tan Shengyu: [It¡¯s normal that you haven¡¯t seen anything because Brother Lin Fan only decided to hold a concert yesterday.] At this moment, a message popped up in everyone¡¯s WeChat news. [Free tickets! On February 29th, at eight o¡¯clock sharp, a mysterious and grand concert will be held in Jiangbei City Stadium!] When everyone saw this message, they were all stunned. The Future Group which was bustling with activity only resumed after a while. Zhang Bin: [Did you guys just receive the news on WeChat?] Duan Qian: [I did . On February 29th, at eight o¡¯clock sharp, a mysterious and grand concert will be held in Jiangbei City Stadium¡­ Could this be the concert that Brother Lin Fan is going to hold?] Sun Luguo: [A week later is the 29th. It should be. I didn¡¯t expect Brother Lin Fan to have such a deep relationship with Penguin Group.] Liu Yuhang: [No wonder so many directors of internet companies came to greet Brother Lin Fan at the Imperial Hotel.] Tan Shengyu: [Brother Lin Fan is too awesome to get Penguin Group to help promote the concert!] Chapter 257 - 257 The Three Big Shots Simultaneous Promotion; Envy! 257 The Three Big Shots¡¯ Simultaneous Promotion; Envy! Sun Luguo, Liu Yuhang, Tan Shengyu, Duan Qian, and the others in the Future Group were all from Jiangbei¡­ There were even a few rich young masters from Jiang Province. However, even if they wanted to get Penguin Group to help promote an event, it would be very difficult. Lin Fan decided to hold a concert yesterday and Penguin Group helped to promote it this afternoon! This kind of efficiency was simply¡­ terrifying! No wonder they could not help but exclaim. Just as they were exclaiming in amazement, their phones vibrated slightly, and a piece of news popped up in the UA Browser. [Shocking! Jiangbei City Stadium is actually doing such a thing. The time is¡­] Everyone was curious and slowly clicked on it. [A mysterious and grand concert is about to be held at Jiangbei City Stadium. Free tickets will be given, and the entire city is thrilled. It¡¯ll be held on February 29th, eight o¡¯clock sharp! Don¡¯t miss the excitement!] The originally lively Future Group fell silent again. A moment later, a new message appeared. Duan Qian asked: [Do you have the UA Browser installed?] Zhang Bin: [Are you referring to¡­ the news that popped up in the UA Browser just now?] Duan Qian: [Yes.] Duan Qian: [The UA Browser is actually helping to promote it! This¡­ The UA Browser seems to belong to Little Tanuki, right?] Sun Luguo: [Brother Lin Fan is really amazing to get Little Tanuki Group and Penguin Group to help promote the concert!] Liu Yuhang: [Of course!] Tan Shengyu: [Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re awesome! You are my idol forever!] At this moment, everyone¡¯s cell phones vibrated slightly. A piece of news popped up on Today¡¯s Headlines. [Notification! On February 29th, at eight o¡¯clock sharp, a mysterious and grand concert will be held in Jiangbei City Stadium! The tickets are free!] After this piece of news appeared, the Future Group fell silent again. Zhang Bin: [You¡­ Did you guys receive the pop-up message from Today¡¯s Headlines?] Duan Qian: [F*ck! Today¡¯s Headlines are also promoting the concert!] Zhang Bin: [This¡­ Is this really the concert that Brother Lin Fan is holding?] Silence. The Future Group fell silent again. Even Sun Luguo and Liu Yuhang, who knew a little about Lin Fan¡¯s identity, hesitated. In fact¡­ When they saw the UA Browser promotion, they were already hesitant. That was right. Was this a concert that Lin Fan was going to hold? If Penguin Group was the only company that helped with the promotion, it would still be within their understanding. Now¡­ It was the three magnates promoting it at the same time! Furthermore, Tan Shengyu had just said that Lin Fan had only decided to hold a concert yesterday. In just one day, the three magnates had all made a move? This¡­ This kind of situation seemed to only appear when something major happened in the country, right? This was a last-minute concert! ¡­ Lin Fan naturally did not know how the crowd was reacting. He was sleeping soundly in the dormitory. About an hour later, he slowly opened his eyes. Lin Fan first glanced around the dormitory. Ma Zhong was quietly flipping through a book. Zheng Jinbao was sitting in front of the computer and reading very attentively. Song Yi was lying on the bed and playing with his phone silently. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. It turned out to be a call from Jiangbei¡¯s leader, Jiao Yang. ¡°Brother Lin, am I disturbing your rest?¡± Jiao Yang asked. Lin Fan said, ¡°No, I was already awake.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good¡­ Well, Brother Lin, you told me this morning that you were going to rent the city stadium for a concert on the 29th¡­ Do you need crowd control measures?¡± Jiao Yang asked. Jiao Yang knew Lin Fan¡¯s identity very well. Jiao Yang had always wanted to build a good relationship with him. When Lin Fan said that he wanted to rent the city stadium for a concert on the 29th, Jiao Yang agreed without hesitation. In Jiao Yang¡¯s opinion, even if Lin Fan wanted to invite a big star over, it would not be a problem. After all, it was not like Jiangbei City Stadium had not held similar events before. However¡­ However, he did not expect that this afternoon, WeChat, UA Browser, and Today¡¯s Headlines¡­ were all promoting the free concert at Jiangbei City Stadium. Free and mysterious! These two words had always been the most attractive! The news, through WeChat, UA Browser, and Today¡¯s Headlines, would probably be seen by hundreds of millions of people! When Jiao Yang saw the pop-ups, he was shocked. He was surprised that Lin Fan had such a great ability to get Little Tanuki, Penguin, and Alphabet to help him promote the event. Jiao Yang was worried again. He could almost imagine how many people would gather on the night of the 29th. Too many people meant danger. If there was a stampede, it would definitely be very terrifying. Lin Fan understood Jiao Yang¡¯s worries and said, ¡°Later on, I¡¯ll give you 100,000 free tickets. Only those with tickets can enter the stadium.¡± ¡°100,000? Our stadium only has 60,000 seats,¡± Jiao Yang said. ¡°Then 60,000 tickets for inside the museum and 40,000 tickets for outside the museum,¡± Lin Fan said. Jiao Yang was slightly stunned. Outside? ¡°Uhh¡­ Can the audience see anything?¡± Even though he was knowledgeable, he had never heard of an audience watching a concert outside the venue. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll put up the display screen when the time comes,¡± Lin Fan said. The concert¡­ A display screen? Jiao Yang opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. As long as Lin Fan was willing to limit the number of people, it would be fine. Besides, it was a problem whether those who managed to snatch the tickets would go. Jiao Yang could not help but sigh. ¡­ When a melodious bell rang, it indicated that today¡¯s class was over. Many students stretched or yawned as they got up and prepared to walk out. At this moment, Song Jiaxin suddenly came in front of Lin Fan and said, ¡°Lin Fan, how about we have a meal together later?¡± Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, Ma Zhong, and the others felt like they had eaten lemons. A few days ago, Teacher Tiantian asked Lin Fan to go to her office. Now, the famous ice beauty in the class had taken the initiative to invite Lin Fan for a meal! This¡­ This¡­ Why did no beautiful women invite them? Facing Song Jiaxin¡¯s invitation, Lin Fan did not hesitate at all and replied, ¡°Sure.¡± Then, under the envious gazes of all the students, Lin Fan and Song Jiaxin walked out of the classroom together. Chapter 258 - 258 Eating; Increasing Favorability! 258 Eating; Increasing Favorability! M+, a two-star Michelin restaurant in F Nation, was located on the 37th floor of Baojia Building. Warm gemstone lamps, leather and solid wood tables and chairs, wool rugs, and endless floor-to-ceiling windows¡­ It gave people the feeling of being in a palace at the top of the clouds, and it was extremely enjoyable. Lin Fan and Song Jiaxin had just walked in when a waiter asked respectfully, ¡°Good evening, Sir and Madam. Do you have an appointment?¡± ¡°My surname is Song, and I reserved table no. 9,¡± Song Jiaxin said. When the waiter heard this, the respect on his face became even more prominent. One had to know¡­ It was very difficult to reserve a table at M+ Restaurant. Especially table no. 9. This was because table no. 9 was located in the middle of the French window. One could see the scenery outside without looking up. At the same time, one could also enjoy the best service in the restaurant. Ordinary people could not make a reservation at all. One had to have a certain identity and status. After Lin Fan and Song Jiaxin sat down, the waiter took out a thick and generous menu and said, ¡°Respected Madam and Sir, what can I do for you?¡± Song Jiaxin casually flipped through the menu and said to Lin Fan, ¡°The foie gras and cheese snails here taste pretty good. Do you want a serving?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°If even you think it¡¯s good, then it must be delicious!¡± Lin Fan was not flattering her with these words. After all, Song Jiaxin was the daughter of the Song family and had tasted countless delicacies since she was young. How could the taste of a dish that even she approved of be bad? Song Jiaxin had heard similar words countless times. However, not only did it fail to make her happy every time, but it also made Song Jiaxin feel a little disgusted. However, when she heard Lin Fan¡¯s words, Song Jiaxin¡¯s lips curled up slightly, revealing a sweet smile. She said, ¡°Is that so? I¡¯ll help you order, then.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great,¡± Lin Fan said. After all, ordering food was sometimes a very troublesome thing. The waiter respectfully took the menu and said, ¡°Yes, Ma¡¯am, Sir. Please wait a moment.¡± M+ Restaurant was very efficient. Not long after, different types of exquisite desserts were served. After the appetizers were finished, the foie gras, cheese snails, pan-fried flatfish, M5 steak, and other dishes were served one after another. The foie gras was tender and smooth without a trace of a fishy smell. The cheese snails were soft and fragrant, while the dried fried flatfish was crispy¡­ Each dish had its own characteristics and was very delicious. Lin Fan could not help but nod. When Song Jiaxin saw this, a smile appeared on her pretty face. She raised her wine glass and said, ¡°Cheers.¡± ¡°Cheers!¡± Lin Fan said. The two high-heeled glasses clinked lightly in the air, producing a crisp and ethereal sound. Lin Fan first placed the red wine by his nose and sniffed it gently. He roughly sensed the fragrance of Roman¨¦e-Conti. Then, he swayed the glass gently, allowing the fragrance of the wine to spread. Lin Fan took a sip of the red wine and allowed it to flow down his throat into his stomach. ¡°When the red wine enters my mouth, it¡¯s as if a veil has brushed across my throat. The taste is full, sweet, and complete¡­ The taste of Roman¨¦e-Conti is indeed not bad.¡± Lin Fan nodded. This scene¡­ Song Jiaxin saw everything. Her gem-like eyes faintly reflected a trace of light as she praised, ¡°If you didn¡¯t have the face of someone from Hua Nation, I would have thought you were a noble or prince from some European country. ¡°I really want to meet your parents and ask them how they taught you to be so outstanding.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Then I guess I¡¯ll have to disappoint you. They¡¯re all very ordinary.¡± The two of them chatted as they ate, relaxed and satisfied. By the time they had eaten their fill and arrived downstairs, the sky had already turned completely dark. Looking into the distance, the lights were shining like stars. It was very beautiful. Song Jiaxin smiled and asked, ¡°I heard¡­ you can sing?¡± Lin Fan thought for a moment and knew where Song Jiaxin heard about it. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Then can you sing it for me?¡± Song Jiaxin asked again. ¡°You want me to sing here?¡± Lin Fan asked. Song Jiaxin pointed at the guitar shop not far away and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go there.¡± The spacious and bright guitar shop had all kinds of guitars. Lin Fan casually picked one up and plucked the strings. Hearing the crisp sound, he asked, ¡°What song do you want to listen to?¡± ¡°Galaxy,¡± Song Jiaxin said. Lin Fan nodded his head. Then, he quickly plucked the strings with both hands. The light and hurried music immediately rippled through the guitar shop. In the next moment¡­ Lin Fan opened his mouth. ¡°It¡¯s a clear and cloudless night. A full moon hangs in the sky. Her long clothes dance in the wind. She¡¯s as soft as feathers, as light as a swan, and as fair as jade¡­¡± Lin Fan, who was drinking earlier, was like a noble or a prince. Now that he was singing, he was like a sword immortal who roamed the universe. He had an outstanding bearing and was mesmerizing. Perhaps it was because she had just drunk some red wine, but Song Jiaxin¡¯s pretty face gradually blushed. ¡°In the end, I split apart the chaos and the universe with a single sword strike!¡± Finally, Lin Fan finished singing the last line. His hands that were playing the guitar gradually stopped. The boss, who had been standing not far away, could not help but applaud and praise, ¡°The singing was really good, and the playing was also very good!¡± ¡°You flatter me,¡± said Lin Fan. Song Jiaxin, who was a little intoxicated by the song, slowly came back to her senses when she heard the conversation between the two of them. She said, ¡°You¡¯re too humble¡­ This is indeed a very nice song.¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Really? Actually, this song is more suitable for women to sing. If you have time, you can go to the concert on the 29th.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll be waiting to receive a ticket from you,¡± Song Jiaxin said. ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan said. Then, the two left the guitar shop and headed toward Jiangbei University. Along the way, Lin Fan and Song Jiaxin chatted non-stop and laughed from time to time. After entering the campus, their shadows were long under the illumination of the lights. Not long after, they arrived at the dormitory. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go up first!¡± Song Jiaxin said. Although she said that, a different look appeared in her eyes. Lin Fan was all too familiar with this expression. He had seen it on Teacher Tiantian, Chu Yunyue, Qiu Ziqian, Huang Ling, Xia Xue, Xia Bing, and the others¡­ Lin Fan could not help but use the Eyes of Truth on Song Jiaxin. [Appearance: 95] [Favorability: 89] 89 points in favorability! This was a good impression! According to Lin Fan¡¯s experience, once the favorability reached 90 and above, they could become a couple. Chapter 259 - 259 Discussion; Invitation! 259 Discussion; Invitation! In the next few days, Lin Fan would occasionally return to the Coiling Dragon Villa to sleep and water the Spiritual Tea Seeds. It had to be said that the Spiritual Tea was indeed Spiritual Tea. The plants were growing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. Right now, the Spiritual Tea had already grown up to Lin Fan¡¯s calf. Furthermore, they had sprouted green leaves. At this rate, it would not be long before this place would become a dense tea plantation. Of course, Lin Fan spent most of his time in school experiencing the leisurely life of a student. In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of February 28th. Lin Fan, Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Jinbao came to the classroom and found seats at the back. ¡°Do you guys know that there¡¯ll be a concert at the city stadium tomorrow?¡± Ma Zhong asked. ¡°How could I not know?¡± Zheng Jinbao asked. ¡°In the past few days, WeChat, Today¡¯s Headlines, and UA Browser have been releasing pop-up messages every three to five days. When I received a parcel from Shunshun Express yesterday, I realized that the box was also printed with an advertisement promoting the concert. There are also the LED display screens at the Imperial Hotel, Feiyang Building, Qiankun Building, and so on. They were all publicizing the concert¡­¡± ¡°Oh right, it¡¯s also trending on Weibo today.¡± ¡°Which celebrity do you think is going to perform at this concert?¡± Ma Zhong asked. Zheng Jinbao rubbed his chin and said like a wise man, ¡°Many people on the internet say that it¡¯s Zhou Lun and Chen Xun. However, according to my speculation, it¡¯s more likely that it¡¯s a group.¡± ¡°A group?¡± Ma Zhong asked, puzzled. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about Weibo, Shunshun Express, the Imperial Hotel, Feiyang Building, and so on¡­¡± Zheng Jinbao said. ¡°You should know which companies WeChat, Today¡¯s Headlines, and UA Browser are under, right? Behind them are Penguin Group, Alphabet, and Little Tanuki! ¡°Would the three giants promote a concert like that? ¡°Unless the singer is the boss of the big three!¡± When Lin Fan heard this, his face could not help but reveal a look of shock. However, the singer was not the boss of the big three. The boss of the singer was the boss of the three big shots! Zheng Jinbao watched live broadcasts on the computer every day. Lin Fan used to think that he only had female streamers in his heart. He did not expect him to have such a strong analytical ability. ¡°There¡¯s only one answer¡­ This is a charity concert for all the stars! ¡°The big three and Shunshun Express are supporting public welfare! That¡¯s why they¡¯re working so hard to promote it!¡± When Lin Fan heard this, his lips twitched. As expected, Zheng Jinbao only had those beautiful streamers in his heart. Ma Zhong scratched the back of his head as if he was considering the possibility of Zheng Jinbao¡¯s words. Song Yi, who was beside him, said nonchalantly, ¡°Whether it¡¯s a group of stars or any other celebrities¡­ they¡¯ve never done so much publicity before. It must be very lively. Besides, it¡¯s free. We have to go and take a look!¡± As he spoke, he took out two tickets from his pocket. ¡°You actually got two tickets!¡± Zheng Jinbao exclaimed. ¡°Which zone? What number?¡± ¡°Zone C, 933 and 934,¡± Song Yi said proudly. ¡°Zone C, number 900? Those seats are very close to the front!¡± Ma Zhong said in surprise. One had to know¡­ A total of 100,000 tickets were distributed for this concert. Among them, there were 60,000 on-site tickets and 40,000 off-site tickets. The 60,000 tickets were divided into ten sections, each with 6,000 seats. It was very difficult to get tickets to the venue. It was even more difficult to get the first 1,000 seats. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Song Yi said proudly. Ma Zhong said, ¡°Song Yi has two tickets. We have to think of a way to snatch two more¡­ This way, we can all go to the concert together.¡± Song Yi coughed and said, ¡°Well¡­ You should have said so earlier. I¡¯ve already promised to give a ticket to a beauty from the Finance Department.¡± Zheng Jinbao spat lightly, ¡°So you chose hoes before bros. Ma Zhong, if you want to watch the concert, I¡¯ll help you get tickets tonight!¡± Lin Fan listened to their conversation and smiled. ¡°There¡¯s no need to fight. I have some tickets. If the two of you want to go tomorrow, I¡¯ll help you register your information and all you need to do to get into the venue is swipe your ID card.¡± ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re the best!¡± Zheng Jinbao said excitedly.¡± ¡°Thank you, Brother Lin Fan!¡± Ma Zhong said happily.¡± Then, Lin Fan said to Song Yi, ¡°Song Yi, what about you? Do you want me to help you register your information?¡± Song Yi hesitated and said, ¡°Uhh¡­ Forget it, I¡¯ve already agreed to go to the concert with that girl from the Finance Department.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head nonchalantly. After the bell rang, the afternoon class officially began. Time in the classroom always flowed as fast as water. Almost as soon as Lin Fan closed his eyes, the bell rang. After Lin Fan had his dinner, he drove his Mercedes-Benz G-Class straight to the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex. He first watered the Spiritual Tea Plants. Looking at the green sprouts, he felt refreshed. Then, Lin Fan lay on a leather sofa and opened WeChat. Qin Yuxuan had been very busy recently. Moreover, she was in Modu, so it was not suitable for her to come and watch the concert. His younger sister, Lin Xiaoyao, was now in her third year of high school¡­ It would not be long before the college entrance examination, so it was not suitable for her to come to the concert either. When he went to Yi Ke City the day before yesterday, he had already told Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian about the concert. When he met Teacher Tiantian at school yesterday, he also told her about the concert. Chu Yunyue found out about the concert from Feiyang Building and had already expressed her intention to go. ¡­ Lin Fan kept scrolling through WeChat and soon, his gaze landed on Han Tian¡¯s name. Lin Fan: [I¡¯m organizing a concert. Do you want to go over tomorrow?] Han Tian: [Tomorrow? Are you saying that the mysterious concert at the city stadium is organized by you?] Lin Fan replied: [Yes.] Han Tian: [Oh my God! I¡¯ll go! I want to go!] ¡­ Then, Lin Fan¡¯s gaze fell on Xia Xue and Xia Bing¡¯s WeChat chat boxes. Lin Fan: [Are you going to the city stadium to watch the concert tomorrow?] ¡­. Jiangbei University, female dormitory. Xia Xue and Xia Bing, the two doll-like girls, were sitting at the table obediently and reading very seriously. At this moment, their phones vibrated slightly, and a WeChat message popped up. Beautiful Young Lady Yan: [Sisters, have you eaten?] Xia Xue and Xia Bing: [We¡¯ve eaten] Beautiful Young Lady Yan: [Have you been drinking enough water?] Xia Xue and Xia Bing: [¡­] Beautiful Young Lady Yan: [Cough, cough, cough. Alright, I just wanted to say that tomorrow¡¯s concert will be very exciting. Are you really not going to attend it?] Xia Xue and Xia Bing: [We have a competition in a few days. We have to study, so we won¡¯t be attending the concert, Mom.] Beautiful Young Lady Yan: [Who¡¯s your mother? What mother? I¡¯ve said it many times. Call me Sister!] Beautiful Young Lady Yan: [Did you hear that? Call her Sister!] However, Xia Xue and Xia Bing did not care at all. They turned their attention back to their books and thought to themselves, ¡®Will he participate in this competition?¡¯ At this time, Xia Xue and Xia Bing¡¯s mobile phones vibrated again, and another WeChat message popped up. Chapter 260 - 260 Happy Twins; Lets Go! 260 Happy Twins; Let¡¯s Go! In the past, Xia Xue and Xia Bing were not too enthusiastic about competitions. Only when the teacher informed them to participate were they forced to register. However, since the National Mathematical Modeling Competition last year, they had been looking forward to competitions. It meant that Lin Fan might participate! They would have more time to spend with Lin Fan! Every time Xia Xue and Xia Bing recalled the National Mathematical Modeling Competition and how they had designed models with Lin Fan and solved problems, a sweet smile would appear on their pretty faces. Therefore, not long ago, when Xia Xue and Xia Bing learned that there was another competition, they did not hesitate and chose to sign up directly. After signing up, they began to study very hard. Xia Xue and Xia Bing¡¯s thoughts were very simple. If Lin Fan also signed up, then they definitely could not drag him down. At this moment, their phones vibrated again. They thought it was another message from their mother. Therefore, they did not look at their phones immediately. However, when they flipped through their books, they inadvertently glanced at their phone screens from the corners of their eyes. It would not have mattered if they did not look at the message, but after looking at it, it was as if their entire bodies had been frozen. They were completely motionless! Had they stopped moving? No! Xia Xue and Xia Bing were still moving. Their already beautiful eyes were constantly shaking with gorgeous light. A WeChat message had popped up on their phone screens. Lin Fan: [Are you going to the city stadium to watch the concert tomorrow?] In the next moment¡­ Xia Xue and Xia Bing could not wait to pick up their phones. Their fair jade-like fingers pounced on the screens. One heard the crisp sound of their slender fingers colliding with the screen. After a while, a long paragraph appeared on their screens. Then, without hesitation, they deleted all the words. The two¡¯s fair and tender fingers jumped rapidly on their phone screens again. This was repeated four times. Xia Xue and Xia Bing finally replied to the same message. Xia Xue and Xia Bing: [We want to go.] Lin Fan: [Alright, send me your ID number then.] Lin Fan: [Forget it. I¡¯ll bring you guys over tomorrow.] He would fetch them for the concert! Xia Xue¡¯s and Xia Bing¡¯s hearts almost jumped out of their throats. At the same time, they were afraid that if they were too slow, Lin Fan would misunderstand. Thus, their fingers danced on the screen like phantoms. Xia Xue and Xia Bing: [Mhm!] Lin Fan: [It¡¯s already quite late. Rest early. Goodnight.] Xia Xue and Xia Bing: [Good night.] The conversation between the three of them ended here. It was very short. Xia Xue and Xia Bing did not put down their phones. They looked at the short conversation and their faces were full of smiles. They treated their phones like a treasure and hugged them tightly in their arms, allowing their body temperature to heat up the phones! That night¡­ Xia Xue and Xia Bing were lying on the bed. The smiles on their pretty faces did not disappear even for just a moment. There was no sleep for them tonight. ¡­ Compared to the sleepless twin beauties, Lin Fan slept very comfortably today. He almost snored as soon as he lay down. The next day, the sky was clear and the sun was warm. Lin Fan slowly climbed up from the soft bed As usual, he glanced at his phone. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 3,570,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] He chose to ignore this kind of information that he saw every day. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten million yuan.] Lin Fan complained, ¡°It¡¯s another ten million. Can¡¯t I get something else?¡± He shook his head and slowly got up from the bed. After washing up, he took out the Wagyu beef sandwich, lobster burger, and high-end milk that he bought from the two-star Michelin restaurant yesterday for a total of 3,888 yuan from the refrigerator. It was a simple breakfast. Then, Lin Fan lay on the leather sofa and played with his phone. He was very calm and relaxed. His life was peaceful in Jiangbei¡­ However, near Jiangbei City Stadium, it was the complete opposite. Waves of noisy honking rang out endlessly, and dense rows of vehicles were blocking the road. ¡°What happened today? Why is it so congested?¡± A passenger in a taxi asked in confusion. The driver looked at the passenger strangely and asked, ¡°You don¡¯t know?¡± ¡°Know what?¡± the passenger asked. ¡°Are you a foreigner? It¡¯s either that or you haven¡¯t watched the news for a long time, right? ¡°Jiangbei City Stadium is holding a concert today!¡± At this point, the driver could not help but reveal a look of anticipation. ¡°Isn¡¯t the concert starting at eight o¡¯clock in the evening? Why is it congested now?¡± ¡°A lot of people are worried that the traffic will get worse at night.¡± The driver smiled. ¡­ As the driver said, many people were worried about the traffic jam at night. Therefore, they rushed to the stadium early. Some people who had planned to go to the stadium later were worried that the traffic would get worse at night when they saw the traffic jam start so early. Therefore, they also left early. Gradually, the roads around the stadium became even more congested. ¡­ Naturally, Lin Fan had no idea about all of this. When he was hungry, he would ask the Michelin restaurant to send him some food. When he was thirsty, he would take out a bottle of Kobe mineral water from the refrigerator. He lay on the sofa and spent the day leisurely. Lin Fan looked out the window at the sky that was gradually darkening and muttered, ¡°I almost forgot that the concert is today¡­ It should be about time. I should go to the stadium.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan strode out. At this moment, two pilots were standing in front of the MD902 private helicopter in the villa, their faces full of excitement. It was not like they had not flown a helicopter before. However, they mostly flew small helicopters such as the Rottway A600 and the Schwarzer 300C. Compared to the MD902, the difference was like comparing a Santana and a Lamborghini¡­ Forget about flying the MD902¡­ Even if they were to see it¡­ After all, they had only seen it in magazines. It felt like they had been driving a Santana for many years and were suddenly given a Lamborghini. No wonder the two of them were so excited. When the two pilots saw Lin Fan, they quickly said, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Hello, let¡¯s go now. Let¡¯s go to Jiangbei University first.¡± Firstly, he had expected that there would be a traffic jam today. Secondly, a helicopter would be helpful during the concert. That was why Lin Fan had transferred two pilots from Xia Airlines. ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± the two pilots said in unison. With a violent rumble, MD902 gradually rose into the air and sped away. Before long, it turned into a small black dot in the air. Chapter 261 - 261 Waiting Silently; Maintaining Order! 261 Waiting Silently; Maintaining Order! Jiangbei University, downstairs of the girls¡¯ dormitory. Xia Bing and Xia Xue had been standing under the big tree in front of the dormitory since morning. Their two pairs of bright eyes were always silently watching the distance. Their eyes were filled with anticipation. At this moment, their roommate, Zhao Ni, who had just returned from outside, walked forward in surprise and said, ¡°Xia Bing, Xia Xue, why are you still here? Could it be that you¡¯ve been standing here since this morning?¡± Although Xia Bing and Xia Xue were introverted and they rarely talked to their roommates, Zhao Ni could easily feel that the two of them were very kind. Therefore, she was very willing to be friends with them. Xia Bing and Xia Xue did not like to lie, so they said truthfully, ¡°Yes¡­ That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°What are you waiting here for? Have you had dinner?¡± Zhao Ni asked. Xia Bing and Xia Xue said, ¡°Not yet.¡± ¡°Not yet? Wait, you haven¡¯t even eaten lunch yet, have you?¡± Zhao Ni asked again. Xia Bing and Xia Xue nodded in embarrassment. ¡°What?!¡± Zhao Ni immediately widened her eyes and shouted, ¡°What are you doing? Hurry up and eat!¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue hesitated. ¡°We¡­ We¡¯re waiting for someone.¡± ¡°Who is it? Why are you waiting like this? You¡¯ve already waited for a day! No matter who it is, it¡¯s not worth it to wait for them like this!¡± Zhao Ni shouted. After saying that, she was about to forcefully drag the two of them to the cafeteria. At this moment, there was a sudden sound in the distance. Then, a cool-looking helicopter appeared above the school. This scene¡­ attracted the attention of many people. ¡°F*ck! It¡¯s a helicopter!¡± ¡°A helicopter actually came to our school!¡± ¡°So cool!¡± While many people were looking up at the sky and discussing, a rope ladder descended from the helicopter. Then, a tall and handsome figure slowly climbed down the rope ladder. Seeing this¡­ Xia Bing and Xia Xue seemed to see a hot sun that was constantly approaching them, completely illuminating their eyes. Their faces became extremely bright. Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°You must have waited for a long time.¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue shook their heads repeatedly. Then, they seemed to have thought of something and quickly handed Lin Fan a bottle of energy drink each from their small backpacks. Regarding this¡­ Lin Fan was already used to it. He took the energy drinks and drank a mouthful from each bottle. After Xia Bing and Xia Xue saw it, the joy on their faces became even greater. Lin Fan said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± At this moment, Zhao Ni, who had been standing at the side without saying a word, shouted, ¡°Leave? Do you know that Xia Bing and Xia Xue have been waiting for you here for an entire day? ¡°They haven¡¯t even eaten lunch or dinner yet! You still have the face to ask them to leave with you? Don¡¯t think you¡¯re so great just because you have money!¡± Zhao Ni was also shocked by the helicopter in the sky. Thus, she was not able to rebuke Lin Fan immediately. Lin Fan was shocked. ¡°What? Have you been waiting here for a day?¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue lowered their heads like children who had done something wrong. Lin Fan looked at their tired faces and thought¡­He could not help but recall how they had waited for him on the basketball court every day, and his heart ached slightly. He reached out and gently stroked their heads. ¡°Don¡¯t be so silly in the future.¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue nodded in enjoyment. After a pause, Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s my fault. I didn¡¯t say when I would pick you up yesterday. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go eat now.¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue said obediently, ¡°Okay.¡± Then, Lin Fan said to Zhao Ni, ¡°Do you want to go with us? We¡¯re going to the concert later.¡± Although Zhao Ni¡¯s tone just now was very impolite and it could even be said to be a reprimand, Lin Fan was not angry. It was because he understood that¡­ Zhao Ni treated Xia Bing and Xia Xue really well. Therefore, he had a good impression of her. Zhao Ni seemed to realize that she seemed to have misunderstood something. She could not help but stutter, ¡°I¡­ I¡¯ve already eaten, so I won¡¯t go.¡± Lin Fan did not force her. He said goodbye and entered the helicopter with Xia Bing and Xia Xue using the rope ladder. ¡°To the Imperial Hotel.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± the two pilots replied. Rumble! After a loud noise, the helicopter sped into the distance and stopped steadily at the landing point on the top floor of the Imperial Hotel. Under the lead of the attendant who was already waiting on the top floor, Lin Fan and the rest quickly arrived at the VIP room. At this moment, the table was already filled with sumptuous dishes. Lin Fan personally scooped two bowls of soup and handed them to Xia Bing and Xia Xue, ¡°You haven¡¯t eaten all day. Have a bowl of soup to warm your stomachs first.¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue were like chicks pecking at rice as they kept nodding. The bowl of soup was quickly finished. Then, Lin Fan picked up some noodles for them and said, ¡°Eat some more noodles to replenish your energy.¡± ¡­ While Xia Bing and Xia Xue were eating, there were already countless people standing around the Jiangbei City Stadium. In order to prevent any accidents, police cars, fire engines, and ambulances were lined up on the side. Standing at the entrance were men in suits and leather shoes. Some were bald, some had a buzz cut, and some had tattoos on their bodies. They exclaimed, ¡°I¡¯ve never seen such a big scene!¡± ¡°Brother Wang, your boss is amazing!¡± ¡°He¡¯s amazing!¡± The manager of Flying Dragon Security Company, Wang Shengli, said proudly, ¡°Of course!¡± In the past, Wang Shengli knew that Lin Fan was different. Now, he was even more impressed by Lin Fan. Immediately after, Wang Shengli said seriously, ¡°As you can see, there are a lot of people here tonight. Later, you must make sure that order is maintained. Don¡¯t let any accidents happen!¡± Today, Wang Shengli transferred hundreds of security guards from Flying Dragon Security Company. However, to be on the safe side, he called some other people over to help. ¡°Brother Wang, don¡¯t worry. There won¡¯t be any problems!¡± The bald man in the suit said, ¡°If anything happens to the area I¡¯m in charge of, you can kick my head like a ball!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± ¡°Me too!¡± The others echoed. ¡°If there¡¯s a chance in the future, I¡¯ll let you meet my boss.¡± Wang Shengli nodded in satisfaction. When everyone heard this, they all revealed an unconcealable excitement. In their opinion¡­ A person who could host such a grand concert was definitely a top-notch existence. If they could meet, it would definitely be a great thing. ¡°Thank you, Brother Wang!¡± everyone said in unison. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s about time. You can let the audience in slowly.¡± ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll go and arrange it now!¡± Soon, there were long lines at the ten side doors of the Jiangbei City Stadium. Under the protection of many security guards, people walked in in an orderly manner. Chapter 262 - 262 Puzzled; Gather! 262 Puzzled; Gather! Even though the stadium had ten side doors, there were 100,000 spectators for this concert! It would still take a long time for everyone to enter. Song Yi swiped his ticket and went through a strict security check before finding his seat. ¡°I¡¯m finally in.¡± Next to him, a girl named Gao Lanwen, who scored about 80 points in appearance, looked at the dark shadows in the stadium and sighed, ¡°There are too many people! I don¡¯t know if Juan Juan and the others have come in.¡± As she spoke, she could not help but look into the distance, trying to find her friends. ¡°Use this.¡± Song Yi took out the binoculars that he had prepared earlier and said. ¡°You even brought binoculars!¡± Gao Lanwen exclaimed in surprise.¡± ¡°This will allow us to see more clearly.¡± Song Yi smiled. ¡°I remember Liu Juan and the others are in the 4,000+ seats in Zone E, right? It should be behind that direction¡­¡± Gao Lanwen looked in the direction Song Yi was pointing at. Sure enough, she soon saw her friends. She could not help but wave and shout at them. However, how could the other party hear her voice from such a distance? Song Yi looked at Gao Lanwen¡¯s cute face and was fascinated. Then, he raised his head and looked into the distance as if he was looking for something, but he did not find anything. ¡°I don¡¯t know where Ma Zhong and the others are. Forget it, I¡¯ll just ask them.¡± As he spoke, Song Yi took out his phone and quickly sent a message to the 104 Roommate group. Song Yi: [Ma Zhong, have you entered the stadium?] Ma Zhong: [We¡¯re coming in.] Zheng Jinbao: [Song Yi, do you know where we¡¯re sitting? Our seats are VIP 196 and VIP 197, which are in the middle of the VIP area!] Zheng Jinbao: [The chairs here are all real leather sofas. Can you believe it?] Song Yi was speechless. [Really?] Zheng Jinbao: [Do you think I¡¯m lying?] Then, Song Yi took the binoculars from Gao Lanwen and looked at the VIP area. A chubby man with a round face waving his hand in his direction. If this person was not Zheng Jinbao, then who was he? Song Yi slowly put down his binoculars and said regretfully, ¡°If I had known earlier, I would have asked Brother Lin Fan to help get me seats.¡± ¡­ At this moment, Gundong Entertainment¡¯s music director, Zhao Peng, and deputy director, Zhang Xiaohai, also lined up to enter the stadium. Zhang Xiaohai looked at the densely packed figures and said, ¡°There are so many people!¡± Zhao Peng said, ¡°That¡¯s normal. After all, WeChat, UA Browser, and Today¡¯s Headlines have been promoting it for several days in a row. Plus, it¡¯s free¡­ If the venue was bigger, I wouldn¡¯t be surprised even if the number of people is doubled.¡± ¡°Director Zhao, whose concert do you think this is?¡± Zhang Xiaohai asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Zhao Peng shook his head. Then, he looked at his watch and frowned. ¡°It¡¯s almost eight o¡¯clock. Why is it still dark around the stage?¡± In fact¡­ Zhao Peng was not the only one who was puzzled. Many people in the audience had similar doubts. The audience members in the stadium were still confused, while those who had only managed to grab standing tickets outside the stadium were a little irritated. ¡°What¡¯s going on? The venue is black. Where¡¯s the screen?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t let me in, but there¡¯s no display screen either?¡± ¡°If I had known earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have come.¡± ¡­ While everyone was still confused and discussing, a helicopter quietly stopped beside the stadium. After Lin Fan, Xia Bing, and Xia Xue got off the plane, they went straight to VIP 1 at the front of the stadium. Hu Tian, Chu Yunyue, Qiu Ziqian, Huang Ling, Han Tian, Song Jiaxin, and the others were all there. When they caught sight of Lin Fan, their faces lit up. ¡°You guys are finally here. I thought you were going to be late.¡± ¡°You¡¯re Xia Bing and Xia Xue, right? You¡¯re really cute.¡± ¡°Sit down, sit down.¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue were very introverted. Originally, they were a little shy when they saw so many people. However, after being warmly greeted by them, they finally calmed down. Looking at the relaxed and harmonious expressions of the girls, Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief. In fact¡­ He had also gone through a mental struggle at the thought of letting the girls meet. All the girls knew that Lin Fan had other women. However, they had never met each other before. Lin Fan did not know what would happen if they really met. However¡­ he had to face this sooner or later. After all, there was still a long way to go. Lin Fan could not separate everyone into different worlds. Therefore, he finally took this opportunity to let them meet first. From the looks of it, the situation was not bad. Lin Fan scanned the women, and when he saw Song Jiaxin, he could not help but use his Eyes of Truth. [Appearance: 95] [Favorability: 89.5] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan was stunned. 89.5? What was going on? Favorability? Song Jiaxin¡¯s favorability toward him last time seemed to be 89. It had increased? Tan Shengyu, who was sitting at the back, looked at the row of beauties sitting around Lin Fan and praised sincerely, ¡°As expected of Brother Lin Fan!¡± ¡°Is that even necessary to say?¡± Liu Yuhang said. Sun Luguo, who was sitting next to him, looked at his watch and said, ¡°It¡¯s almost eight o¡¯clock. Why is the stage still dark?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s not ready yet?¡± Zhang Bin asked. Just as they were wondering, a soft sound suddenly appeared on the stage, attracting everyone¡¯s attention. Chapter 263 - 263 The Concert Began; Lively Venue! 263 The Concert Began; Lively Venue! In the next moment¡­ The originally dark stage suddenly shot out 20 dazzling pillars of light. At the same time, ten high-end, magnificent, and cool Rolls-Royce Phantoms appeared on the huge stage. Rolls-Royce Phantoms! Each was worth ten million! Ten cars meant 100 million! Most ordinary people might not even see one in their lifetime. At this moment, a total of ten cars had appeared! The stadium was immediately filled with exclamations. ¡°F*ck! Rolls-Royce Phantoms!¡± ¡°Moreover, there are ten of them!¡± ¡°So cool!¡± ¡°Using Rolls-Royce Phantoms as the light, how awesome!¡± ¡­ These exclamations did not only appear in the stadium. The audience outside the hall also exclaimed loudly. This was because a huge high-definition display screen of more than 100 square meters suddenly appeared in front of the originally pitch-black area. Although they could not see the ten Rolls-Royce Phantoms at the scene, through the huge high-definition display screen, the outline and details of the Rolls-Royce Phantoms could be seen more clearly. On the display screen, the light beams formed by the 20 headlights looked more like 20 laser beams that cut through the night, adding a dreamy color to the stage. Just as countless viewers were exclaiming in amazement¡­ A woman in a white muslin dress slowly rose from the stage. She only stopped when she was a few meters above the stage. She¡­ was today¡¯s main character, Ling Rou. Rumble! At the same time, a helicopter suddenly appeared in the sky and shot out a dazzling beam of light that landed on Ling Rou. The white muslin dress on her body was as dazzling as the stars. This dress was actually inlaid with countless diamonds! Seeing this¡­ The audience exclaimed again. ¡°Heavens! So beautiful!¡± ¡°Is this a fairy?¡± ¡°They¡¯re actually using a helicopter as a stage light. Isn¡¯t this too extravagant?¡± ¡°Furthermore, it¡¯s not an ordinary helicopter. It¡¯s an MD902 worth 45 million!¡± ¡°The dress she¡¯s wearing seems to be the work of a famous Louis Vuitton designer, Lawrence. It¡¯s called Star!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! It¡¯s Star! I saw it at the International Fashion Exhibition Center in Country F not long ago! This dress is inlaid with 365 diamonds, and the total value is more than 10 million US dollars!¡± ¡­ At this moment, the entire stadium was filled with a burst of light music. The music surrounded the audience and made them feel as if they were wearing headphones. It was extremely enjoyable. Some people shouted again. ¡°FM Acoustics! It¡¯s FM Acoustics! Heavens! This concert is actually using FM Acoustics¡¯ sound system!¡± ¡°Is this audio system very expensive?¡± someone asked. ¡°Is it very expensive? Don¡¯t you know? FM Acoustics¡¯ is the world¡¯s top audio system. If a car needs to be equipped with FM Acoustics, it would cost at least a million yuan! And a large-scale sound system for a concert like this would cost at least 20 million? No! ¡°Maybe 50 million!¡± Everyone around gasped. A set of speakers cost 50 million? Oh my God, this had completely exceeded their imaginations. At this moment, the prelude music ended. Ling Rou, who was standing on the stage, slowly opened her willow-shaped lips. ¡°The trees in the mountains form a forest, the curved stream flows, the handsome man wields a long sword, and the fallen leaves do not touch his body¡­¡± Her singing was light and free¡­ With the help of FM Acoustics¡¯ sound system, it was as if the audience was depicting the wonderful life of an ancient chivalrous woman in the minds of the audience. At this moment, the audience seemed to have been transported into a world of ancient martial arts. They saw with their own eyes the swordswoman dancing as he eliminated evil, becoming famous all over the world! Everyone was intoxicated by it and could not extricate themselves. The song came to an end after a melodious tune. The moment the music stopped, thunderous applause erupted. Ling Rou listened to the audience¡¯s enthusiastic applause and looked at the excited expressions of the audience. Her beautiful eyes were faintly glistening with tears. She had successfully held a concert and won everyone¡¯s favor. Then, Ling Rou looked around the audience. Soon, her gaze landed on Lin Fan, who was sitting at the front. Ling Rou understood that all of this¡­ was because of Lin Fan. After the applause stopped, Ling Rou said, ¡°Thank you for your applause.¡± ¡°My name is Ling Rou, and I¡¯ve liked martial arts since I was young. I used to buy martial arts manuals from street stalls and secretly practice them at home. ¡°After a month of seclusion, I felt that my martial arts had already reached great success. Therefore, I ran out to fight with the boy who had bullied me in the past. In the end¡­ I was beaten up until I cried.¡± The audience did not expect the beauty on stage to have such an experience. They could not help but laugh. Ling Rou was also very satisfied with everyone¡¯s reaction and continued, ¡°Later on, I finally understood something. I shouldn¡¯t be a martial arts genius. I wouldn¡¯t be able to become a martial arts expert. ¡°I could only imagine myself as a martial arts expert, which was how I came to compose ¡®Sword Dance¡¯.¡± There was another round of applause. Qiu Ziqian, who was sitting in the front row, praised, ¡°Is this our other sister? She¡¯s too beautiful, and her singing is so good! Moreover, she actually knows how to tell stories. How amazing!¡± Lin Fan almost choked on his own saliva. He explained, ¡°I don¡¯t have that kind of relationship with her.¡± ¡°Really? It doesn¡¯t matter. There¡¯ll be that kind of relationship in the future anyway,¡± Qiu Ziqian said. The surrounding women nodded in agreement. ¡­ At this moment, Ling Rou, who was standing on stage, said, ¡°Later on, my mother told me that girls should be quiet instead of always wanting to fight¡­ In this way, there would be a prince riding a white horse who would dote on me like a princess in the future. ¡°However, this prince never appeared. So, I wrote another song, ¡®I Am the Princess¡¯!¡± A burst of pleasant music rang out in the spacious gymnasium again. ¡°The fairy tale book in the cabinet, the happiness of enjoying it alone, I had many feelings when I was young¡­ ¡°I put on a gorgeous gown, walked into a gorgeous palace, and held the prince¡¯s hand to sing and dance¡­¡± Different from the previous carefree and elegant song, the melody of this song was more brisk and leisurely. With the help of the FM Acoustics¡¯ sound system and the helicopter lights, Ling Rou seemed to have really become a noble princess. Everyone felt as if they were in a gorgeous banquet hall. They watched as Princess Ling Rou and a tall and handsome prince swayed gently to elegant music. Everything was so wonderful. The music stopped, and the audience once again burst into enthusiastic applause. Chapter 264 - 264 Confession; End! 264 Confession; End! Ling Rou had a good voice and was very hardworking. She sang hard every day. Today¡­ her hard work over the years had finally paid off. At the end of each song, the live audience would give a round of applause. In the blink of an eye, she had sung more than ten songs. The atmosphere at the scene did not slow down even though time had passed. On the contrary, it became even more enthusiastic. Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with enjoyment and excitement, and their bodies could not help but sway along with the music. Ling Rou picked up the microphone again and said, ¡°I¡¯ve always had a dream, and that was to hold a concert of my own. ¡°But I understood that dreams were just dreams. Most of the time, they can only appear in dreams. ¡°And today, someone helped me realize it! ¡°I wish to thank him! ¡°I don¡¯t know how long I have left in this life, but I know that he¡¯s definitely the most important person in my life!¡± As she said this, Ling Rou¡¯s gaze was fixed on Lin Fan. As soon as she said this, the crowd immediately erupted into an uproar. Many of the audience members exclaimed loudly. ¡°Heavens, isn¡¯t this too romantic?¡± ¡°Ling Rou, you¡¯re the best!¡± ¡°Is this a confession? No!¡± ¡­ VIP 1. Hu Tian, Qiu Ziqian, Chu Yunyue, Huang Ling, Han Tian, and the other women all looked at Lin Fan with smiles. That appearance¡­ It was as if they were saying, ¡°Are still gonna say that she¡¯s not our sister?¡± Lin Fan did not expect Ling Rou to say something like that. He rubbed his nose. He was too charming. ¡­ As soon as Ling Rou finished speaking, pleasant music immediately sounded in the venue. Although the audience was still a little excited because of Ling Rou¡¯s words, after the music started, they could not help but quieten down. They were all looking forward to it¡­ They were looking forward to Ling Rou¡¯s beautiful singing! At this moment, Ling Rou finally opened her willow-shaped red lips slowly. ¡°It¡¯s a clear and cloudless night. A full moon hangs in the sky. Her long clothes dance in the wind. She¡¯s as soft as feathers, as light as a swan, and as fair as jade¡­¡± If the previous Sword Dance had brought the audience into the world of chivalrous righteousness and lofty sentiments, then Galaxy brought the audience into the world of immortals and heroes. As the song rang out, they seemed to see Ling Rou move mountains and fill the sea, exterminate demons and devils, and finally leap into the vast starry sky. The sun and moon revolved above Ling Rou¡¯s head, and the stars spun around her body. It was extremely magical. She¡­ She was the only fairy in the world! In the next moment¡­ She raised her hand and formed a rainbow sword. She slashed at the endless void. The terrifying sword light formed a storm that covered the sky and the sun, causing all chaos and the universe to shatter like bubbles. The most dazzling fireworks in the world bloomed. ¡°In the end, I split apart the chaos and the universe with a single sword strike!¡± The music gradually stopped and the song ended. Silence. The entire place was silent at first. Everyone was shocked by this song. After a while, someone gradually came back to their senses and started clapping. Then, everyone applauded. The applause shook the sky like thunder! Some people could not help but shout loudly. ¡°You sang so well!¡± ¡°It was so great!¡± ¡°This is definitely the best song I¡¯ve ever heard!¡± ¡°Ling Rou, you¡¯re the best!¡± ¡­ In fact¡­ It was not just the ordinary audience who was excited. Zhang Xiaohai, the deputy director of Gundong Entertainment, was also excited and shouted, ¡°She sang these songs so well! Especially the last song, it was simply¡­ It was like splitting the heavens and earth! ¡°It¡¯s so good!¡± Director Zhao Peng jumped up excitedly and shouted, ¡°Beautiful appearance, excellent voice, strong creative ability, perfect stage performance¡­ She¡¯s definitely going to be a superstar in the future! ¡°No, I have to talk to her!¡± Then, he hurried toward the stage. However, there were many people who had similar thoughts. The security guards had already expected this situation and blocked the surroundings of the stage. How could they let anyone get close? ¡­ Ling Rou looked at the audience who were cheering for her crazily and was extremely excited. She bowed slightly and said, ¡°Thank you for your applause, thank you!¡± Then, she slowly descended from the stage that was several meters high. At the same time, a voice rang out in the stadium. ¡°Today¡¯s concert will end here. Please leave in order¡­¡± However, the vast majority of people were still immersed in the beautiful song and did not have any thoughts of leaving. ¡­ VIP 1. Hu Tian, Chu Yunyue, Huang Ling, Qiu Ziqian, Han Tian, and the others all looked at Lin Fan. The looks on their faces¡­ It was as if they were saying, ¡®Why didn¡¯t we know that you wrote such a good song?¡¯ Lin Fan coughed lightly and said, ¡°Writing songs is a very simple matter. That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t tell you guys.¡± At this moment, a clear notification sounded in his mind. [Ding! Mission completed¡ªhold a concert with more than 100,000 spectators. You¡¯ll receive ten silver packets.] Mission accomplished! Lin Fan was in a pretty good mood as well. His lips curled up slightly. At this moment, Qiu Ziqian, who was sitting beside him, suggested, ¡°Ling Rou must be very tired after singing on stage for so long. Let¡¯s go and visit her.¡± This sentence immediately gained the unanimous agreement of all the women. Normal people could not get close to the stage, but Lin Fan and the others were not included in this group of people. ¡­. Xia Yan, like many others, was full of praise for Ling Rou¡¯s singing. She slowly stood up and muttered, ¡°What a pity. If I had let my two obedient sisters learn to sing when they were young, they might be able to sing nice songs for me now.¡± The next moment, her eyes that were looking straight ahead moved slightly as if she saw two familiar figures. She said in surprise, ¡°Huh? Xia Bing, Xia Xue?¡± However, by the time Xia Yan wanted to confirm it again, the two familiar figures had already been completely submerged in the sea of people. Xia Yan could not help but shake her head. ¡°It¡¯s just my misconception. That¡¯s right, they should still be studying seriously in school and preparing for the competition¡­ ¡°They¡¯re completely obsessed with Lin Fan¡­As a mother¡­ As an elder sister, I can¡¯t just watch them sink into oblivion. I have to save my good sisters.¡± Xia Yan¡¯s lips curled into a faint smile. Chapter 265 - 265 Take Good Care of Her; Hot Discussion! 265 Take Good Care of Her; Hot Discussion! Lin Fan led the women through the passage under the lead of Flying Dragon Security Company¡¯s manager, Wang Shengli. They soon arrived at the stadium¡¯s lounge. At this moment, Ling Rou was sitting inside. She seemed to have heard footsteps and slowly turned around. Instantly, Ling Rou¡¯s beautiful face appeared in everyone¡¯s sight. Ling Rou was very beautiful¡­ However, when she was on stage, she gave off a dream-like feeling as if she was in the clouds¡ªout of reach. Now, she had truly appeared in front of everyone. The Star diamond dress, her jet-black hair, fair skin, and voluptuous figure¡­ The air was faintly filled with a unique fragrance of sweat. Even Lin Fan was stunned. Just as Lin Fan was looking at Ling Rou, Ling Rou was also looking at Lin Fan. At this moment, in Ling Rou¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan was the only one standing in the lounge. If it was not for Lin Fan, she might have stayed in the bar for two years and then given up singing. If it was not for Lin Fan, she might not have been able to hold a concert in her lifetime, let alone receive so much applause. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s handsome face, tall figure, crisp voice, and the scene of him performing Galaxy¡­ All of them were like scenes from a movie, gradually engraving themselves in the depths of Ling Rou¡¯s mind. In Ling Rou¡¯s eyes, the entire lounge had turned dark while Lin Fan¡¯s body emitted a dazzling light. At this moment, Lin Fan, who was initially stunned, suddenly had a change in expression. It was because a crisp voice had suddenly sounded in his mind. [Ding! Charming Aura, triggered!] Then, Lin Fan could not help but use the Eyes of Truth on Ling Rou. [Appearance: 98] [Favorability: 95] As expected, Charming Aura was triggered on Ling Rou. At this moment, Qiu Ziqian praised sincerely, ¡°So beautiful!¡± ¡°You¡¯re also very beautiful.¡± ¡°Sister Ling Rou, your songs are so good!¡± Huang Ling said. ¡°Thank you,¡± Ling Rou said. It seemed that it was easy for beautiful women to become friends. After a while, the women started chatting with Ling Rou and laughed from time to time. Even the shy Xia Bing and Xia Xue also said something. They chatted for more than half an hour. At this moment, Hu Tian said, ¡°Sister Ling Rou sang so many songs on stage just now. I think she¡¯s very tired¡­ Lin Fan, you have to take good care of her later.¡± When the women heard this, they also echoed. ¡°Yeah, take good care of her.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll leave Sister Ling Rou to you.¡± Then, the women walked out and closed the door. At this point¡­ Only Lin Fan and Ling Rou were left in the lounge. It was very quiet The two of them sat facing each other, and they could even vaguely hear each other¡¯s breathing. The air¡­ It gradually became hot and dry, causing Ling Rou¡¯s pretty face to flush red. Then, the two of them seemed to be attracted by something as they kept approaching¡­ They got closer. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ? (¡¥¦ê¡¥?) ¡­ After more than an hour, the door to the lounge slowly opened. Then, a helicopter flew over from afar and carried the two of them toward Coiling Dragon Villa. The Coiling Dragon Villa Complex was very lively tonight. Soon, a long and special song sounded, and it did not stop for the entire night. ¡­. The Coiling Dragon Villa Complex was bustling with activity, and the internet was even more lively. On Weibo. Jun Zhi ZN: [Oh my God! The concert at Jiangbei City Stadium is definitely the best concert I¡¯ve ever been to! It was so cool!] Dragon God: [Isn¡¯t that so? Not only was Ling Rou beautiful, but she also sang so well! From today onward, she¡¯s my goddess! No! She¡¯s a true goddess!] Guarding the World: [I got the tickets but didn¡¯t go. You guys are praising it so much that I¡¯m a little regretful now.] Shadowless: [Brother, you¡¯ll regret it for the rest of your life. I took some videos with my phone. You¡¯ll know when you watch it.] Guarding the World: [F*ck, f*ck! The stage of the concert, am I seeing things? Are those ten Rolls-Royce Phantoms?! Using ten Rolls-Royce Phantoms as lights? 100 million yuan worth of lights?] The Person Closest to God: [Brother, you¡¯re not mistaken. Those are lights that cost 100 million! However, this is still nothing! Do you see the stage lights shining on Ling Rou? That¡¯s the light of a MD902 helicopter! By the way, that helicopter costs 45 million yuan.] The Person Closest to God: [Also, do you see the shiny dress on Ling Rou? Those are all diamonds! This dress is called Star and is worth more than ten million US dollars!] Most Mysterious Person: [The sound system at the concert is much better than at other concerts. Because they used a complete set of FM Acoustics. The total cost should be more than 50 million yuan.] Most Mysterious Person: [In addition, there were ten 100 square meters LED high-definition display screens outside the stadium. The total cost of this is also more than ten million yuan.] As the most mysterious person concluded, more people exclaimed. Isha Irene: [100 million on lights, 45 million on stage lights, 70 million on clothes, 50 million on the sound system, ten on million screens¡­ That¡¯s a total of 275 million yuan! Heavens!] Shadowless: [Don¡¯t just talk about money. Look at Ling Rou¡¯s appearance and listen to her singing! That¡¯s simply the pinnacle of looks and vocals!] ¡­. Soon, the concert at Jiangbei City Stadium became the top trending topic on Weibo. Moreover, under the intentional promotion of Penguin, Little Tanuki Corporation, and Alphabet, videos and news of the event were still spreading. At this moment, at Gundong Entertainment. Although it was already very late, Director Zhao Peng still called for an emergency meeting with the higher-ups. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to have called everyone over so late at night, but there is indeed something very important to discuss with everyone. ¡°I won¡¯t say much about the gossip. You should all know that there was a concert at Jiangbei City Stadium tonight. If you don¡¯t know, you can take a look at the trending searches on Weibo. ¡°I¡¯ve checked the information about the concert¡¯s main character, Ling Rou. She doesn¡¯t seem to have signed a contract with any entertainment company¡­ What I mean is that we have to use methods such as offering a sky-high offer and massive amounts of resources as well as big-name advertisements to get her to sign a contract with our company or cooperate with us as much as possible. ¡°Otherwise, if other companies get ahead of us, we¡¯ll be left with endless regret.¡± After hearing his words, some of the higher-ups frowned, while others lowered their heads in thought. Finally, a bald man said hesitantly, ¡°Ling Rou should be quite popular now. However, there were some people who were very popular in the past, but in the end, they all disappeared completely in the ocean of the internet. ¡°Do we need to put in so much effort to work with her?¡± Chapter 266 - 266 Snatching; Lin Fans Principle! 266 Snatching; Lin Fan¡¯s Principle! As soon as the bald man finished speaking, many higher-ups nodded slightly. Obviously, they agreed with him. They had been in the entertainment industry for too long and had seen too many such things. On the internet, there were often people who suddenly appeared with high popularity. However, these people were often like small sand dunes. Once the waves hit them, nothing would be left. Zhao Peng said, ¡°I know. Well, it¡¯s useless for me to say more. You should understand after watching this video.¡± Then, he turned on the projector. Immediately, Ling Rou, who was wearing the Star diamond dress, appeared on the screen. She was holding a microphone and singing Galaxy. Watching this¡­ The pupils of all the higher-ups present constricted, and their faces were filled with shock and intoxication. When the video ended, everyone was still staring at the projector. The entire conference room fell into silence. Zhao Peng looked around and explained, ¡°This is the video I recorded at the concert today. The phone¡¯s functions are limited, so be it her singing or her stage presence, they aren¡¯t conveyed very well¡­ The feeling I had at the scene was definitely several times better than this!¡± At this moment, the chairman, who had been sitting at the head of the table and had not spoken all this time, said, ¡°Just do as Director Zhao said just now and do your best to establish a partnership with Ling Rou!¡± The final blow! ¡­ In fact, Gundong Entertainment was not the only entertainment company that had its eyes on Ling Rou. Those companies either had a meeting at night like Gundong Entertainment, or they were prepared to wait until tomorrow morning to discuss it. Perhaps they were already working on a plan¡­ The timing was different, but their goal was the same. They wanted Ling Rou to cooperate with them! ¡­ Lin Fan and Ling Rou had no idea about all of this yet. The next day, when a gentle breeze blew past the treetops, Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Ling Rou, who was lying quietly beside him, and the bright red marks on the white bed that looked like plum blossoms. He could not help but smile. At this moment, Ling Rou seemed to have sensed something. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly. When she saw Lin Fan in front of her, she could not help but recall what had happened yesterday. She was like a shy rabbit, her face flushing red as she buried her head in the blanket. Her movements seemed to be a little too big. She felt a tearing pain in her lower abdomen, and a pearl-like teardrop rolled down her beautiful eyes. ¡°Ling Rou, are you alright?¡± Lin Fan asked with concern.¡± ¡°¡­I¡¯m fine,¡± Ling Rou said with some difficulty. At this moment, Ling Rou¡¯s phone rang. She turned her body with difficulty as if she wanted to pick up her phone. Lin Fan said, ¡°Let me help you.¡± As he spoke, he directly handed the phone to Ling Rou. Ling Rou looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown number. After a moment of hesitation, she still picked up the call. ¡°May I ask if this is Ms. Ling Rou?¡± a magnetic voice came from the phone. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me. May I ask who you are?¡± Ling Rou said softly. ¡°Hello, Ms. Ling. I¡¯m Zhang Xiaoqian, the general manager of Gundong Entertainment. I wonder if you¡¯re willing to cooperate with our company? Our Gundong Entertainment Company is willing to give you leading roles in TV shows and movies, let you release records, go on variety shows¡­ You¡¯ll also receive more than ten million yuan if you sign a contract with us,¡± Zhang Xiaoqian said. Ling Rou¡¯s expression changed slightly when she heard the voice on the phone. Although she was only a resident singer at the bar, that did not mean that she knew nothing about entertainment companies. On the contrary, she was very familiar with entertainment companies. That was because when she was free, she would pay attention to the entertainment news. She knew that¡­ Gundong Entertainment was one of the top ten entertainment companies in the country. She had once dreamed of entering such a big company. Now¡­ Gundong Entertainment was actually taking the initiative to call her? Furthermore, she was even being offered a contract that would pay her ten million yuan. She would be able to appear on TV shows and movies, release records, and go on variety shows! This¡­ Even in Ling Rou¡¯s dreams, she had never dreamed of these things! After a while, Ling Rou came back to her senses. However, she did not say anything immediately. Instead, she looked at Lin Fan. She understood that the reason for this call was entirely because of Lin Fan. Then, Ling Rou said, ¡°Uhh¡­ I need to think about it first.¡± ¡°We, Gundong Entertainment, really hope to work with you,¡± Zhang Xiaoqian said. ¡°Of course, I know that this matter requires careful consideration. If you have any other requests, you can tell us. Our Gundong Entertainment has high hopes for you. At the same time, we also have great sincerity¡­¡± Ling Rou and Zhang Xiaoqian chatted for a while before hanging up. She had just hung up but received a few more calls. Without exception, they were all the top entertainment companies in Hua Nation. Every entertainment company offered very generous terms. Ling Rou looked at her phone and hesitated. Lin Fan gently stroked Ling Rou¡¯s hair and said, ¡°You want to go into the entertainment industry?¡± Ling Rou nodded. Lin Fan was not surprised by this answer. Whether it was Ling Rou¡¯s musical ability or her ability to perform on stage, everything showed that she was very suitable for performing and singing. Lin Fan said, ¡°If you like it, then go for it. I won¡¯t keep you by my side. If you run into any trouble, you have to tell me at any time because you¡¯re my woman!¡± His words were overbearing yet sweet, making Ling Rou blush even more. Lin Fan was not just saying this casually. He had always kept his word. Otherwise, he could just have all his women live in the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex. He did not have to do anything and could guarantee that everyone would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. Instead, he let Qin Yuxuan start an investment company in Modu, he let Chu Yunyue manage Flower Stem, and he let Hu Tian continue to be a lecturer¡­ If one loved someone, one should give them enough freedom, not tie them tightly to one¡¯s side. Lin Fan said, ¡°You must be a little tired from yesterday. Have a good rest. I¡¯ll get someone to send some breakfast over.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Ling Rou replied. Then, Lin Fan slowly got up and walked out. He first sent a reservation message to the Michelin restaurant. After washing up and sitting on the sofa, the phone in his pocket rang. ¡°Mr. Lin, am I disturbing your rest?¡± Wang Fengyi, the general manager of the Imperial Hotel, spoke through the phone. ¡°No, I¡¯ve been awake for a while,¡± Lin Fan said. Wang Fengyi heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°Yesterday¡¯s concert cost a total of 149 million yuan. I¡¯ve already sent the details to your WeChat¡­ In addition, there¡¯s still 351 million left from the 500 million you gave me. Shall I return it directly to your Merchant Bank account?¡± Chapter 267 - 267 15,721 Red Packets; A Great Harvest! 267 15,721 Red Packets; A Great Harvest! Back then, after Lin Fan agreed to help Ling Rou organize a concert, he immediately contacted Wang Fengyi. Lin Fan explained the rough requirements and transferred 500 million yuan. In Lin Fan¡¯s mind¡­ Wang Fengyi was able to manage the Imperial Hotel in an orderly manner, his ability should be pretty good. From the results, Wang Fengyi did not disappoint Lin Fan¡¯s trust. ¡­ When Wang Fengyi received 500 million yuan, he was a little stunned. As the general manager of the Imperial Hotel, he had made friends with big shots from all walks of life. It could be said that he had a certain understanding of concerts. Generally speaking, a few million yuan would be enough. In the end, Lin Fan gave him 500 million! 500 million! Was Lin Fan not afraid that he would run away with the money? After being stunned for a while¡­ Wang Fengyi used all his connections to order the best audio equipment, display screens, clothes, and so on. The reason why the final price was different from what many netizens had guessed was that the ten Rolls-Royce and the MD902 helicopter all belonged to Lin Fan. No money was spent on them! Lin Fan curled his lips and said, ¡°You only used that much?¡± Wang Fengyi¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. That was 149 million yuan! Was that a little? This¡­ His poverty had limited his imagination! Lin Fan continued, ¡°Alright, just send it to my Merchant Bank account.¡± Just as he hung up the phone, a crisp notification sounded in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Level 7 reward: 100 yuan for every breath; 100 yuan for every second of sleep, and 100 yuan for every step taken. Rewards are distributed at 12 a.m. daily.] At level 6, he could earn about 3.5 million yuan per day. Now, the reward was doubled! In other words, he could earn about 7 million yuan a day. Even though Lin Fan did not lack money now, when he saw the system that had not been upgraded for a long time being upgraded again, he could not help but smile. [Upgrade cost: 69.8 million/500 million (not including gifts and gambling. In addition, all items obtained from the system are prohibited from being traded.] Lin Fan was in a good mood. He slowly placed his attention on the silver packets and muttered in his heart, ¡®I received a total of 10 silver packets from this mission. Let¡¯s see what I can get.¡¯ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 500,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 200,000 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Haoting Building.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 100,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Xin Mei Entertainment.] With ten silver packets, Lin Fan received a total of 2.7 million yuan, a luxury building, and Xin Mei Entertainment. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan could not help but reveal a strange look. 2.7 million yuan was nothing to worry about. Haoting Building was a newly built high-end office building. When Lin Fan was playing with his phone, he accidentally saw a piece of news. It seemed that this building was located by the river and had a total investment of five billion yuan. It had just been built¡­ but it became his? In addition, he also got Xin Mei Entertainment? Even though Lin Fan did not know much about the entertainment industry, the name Xin Mei Entertainment would often appear at the beginning of movies and TV shows. Obviously, Xin Mei Entertainment had a certain level of strength. In other words, he helped Ling Rou hold a concert and then obtained a large entertainment company? Lin Fan rubbed his nose and muttered, ¡°Looks like my luck today is pretty good?¡± Hence, he turned his gaze to the check-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a double shares coupon.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. Doubling shares was definitely a good thing! Not long ago, after he used it on Penguin Group, he directly increased his shares from 5% to 10%, causing Lin Fan¡¯s assets to instantly increase by 250 billion yuan! Now that he had obtained another one, if he continued to use it on Penguin Group¡­ Then, Lin Fan¡¯s shares in Penguin Group would reach 20%! His assets would increase by 500 billion yuan! However, Lin Fan did not immediately use the double shares coupon. Instead, he thought about it for a while before making a decision. [Ding! Do you want to use the double shares coupon for Little Tanuki Group?] ¡°Yes!] [Ding! Successfully used. You now own 10% of the shares of Little Tanuki.] Using the double shares coupon on Penguin Group could yield more benefits, but Lin Fan¡¯s goal was to take back most of the shares of Penguin Group and Little Tanuki Group that were in the hands of foreigners. Thus, there was no need to care about temporary gains and losses. Last time, he chose Penguin Group. This time, he chose Little Tanuki Group. This way, he would not be biased. Little Tanuki¡¯s market value was five trillion yuan, and now he had an additional 5% shares. Hence, Lin Fan¡¯s assets increased by another 250 billion! Lin Fan rubbed his nose and smiled, ¡°Looks like¡­Today¡¯s luck is indeed not bad.¡± Then, he turned his attention to his phone. At this moment, there were 15,712 unclaimed red packets on the screen. Among them, 14,900 red packets were earned from spending 149 million yuan on this concert. The rest were the millions that he spent in the past. In the past, the reason why he did not open the packets was that he wanted to collect 1,000 of them and open them together. Now, he had gathered 15,712 of them! This was the first time he had so many red packets. Lin Fan thought that his luck was pretty good today. Without any hesitation, he chose to open all of them. [Ding! Congratulations, you have received 3 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 5 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a land certificate.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 19,999 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the double skill card.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a skill level upgrade card.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a land certificate.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a one yuan critical hit card.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Expert-Level Dancing Technique.] ¡­ These 15,721 red packets gave Lin Fan a total of 2,320,811 yuan. Lin Fan acted as if he did not see this amount of money and ignored it. His gaze first fell on the land certificate. [Land certificate: After use, you can obtain land within 10,000 square meters and the ownership of all the buildings on it. More land means more wealth, and at the same time, it¡¯ll show more charm.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. One had to know that the total area of a typical residential area was only about 5,000 square meters. 10,000 square meters meant that he could own two residential areas? If it was some office buildings that were closer to each other, he could probably own several of them, right? Land certificates were definitely a rare treasure! As for himself¡­ he had just obtained two land certificates! Even Lin Fan could not help but smile. Chapter 268 - 268 Upgrade the Eyes of Truth; Join Them! 268 Upgrade the Eyes of Truth; Join Them! Then, Lin Fan¡¯s gaze landed on the double skill card and the skill level upgrade card. [Double skill card: You can double the ability of a certain skill for an hour. You¡¯ll possess more powerful skills and display more charm.] [Skill level upgrade card: You can upgrade a skill level. Mastering even more profound skills will make you more fascinating.] Lin Fan was very familiar with these two cards. It was because he had used them before. Even before Lin Fan opened the 15,721 red packets, he already had two double skill cards and one skill level upgrade card. The double skill card had a time limit, so Lin Fan had not used it yet. As for the skill level upgrade card, he only had one for the time being. He wanted to save it for when he needed it and be more selective with the skill he chose so as to be prepared. Now, he could use one of them. Hence, Lin Fan turned his attention back to the system. [Skills: Professional Driving Skills, Charming Aura (5% chance of triggering love at first sight, unforgettable memory), Violent Aesthetics, Drinking Gentleman, Professor-Level Mathematics Experience, Eyes of Truth¡­] After some consideration, Lin Fan locked onto the Eyes of Truth. [Do you want to upgrade the level of Eyes of Truth?] ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! Upgrade successful! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the Eyes of True Sight.] [Eyes of True Sight: Possesses all the abilities of the Eyes of Truth. In addition, you can see the specific origin of the object. Seeing the origin of an object lets you grasp things that ordinary people don¡¯t know. You get to display amazing charm.] Eyes of True Sight? See the origin of the object? Lin Fan could not help but feel puzzled. He used the Eyes of True Sight on the marble table in front of him. In an instant, he saw a slab of marble getting discovered, processed, polished, and carved¡­The entire process was like a movie scene, appearing very clearly in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. Seeing this¡­ Even Lin Fan could not help but reveal a look of shock. Then, he used the Eyes of True Sight on the cup on the table, and then the clock on the wall¡­ This feeling¡­ It was as if these things were all personally made by Lin Fan. It was incomparably magical. Lin Fan could not help but praise, ¡°This skill level upgrade card is pretty good!¡± Then, his gaze fell on Expert-Level Dancing Technique. [Expert-Level Dancing Technique: Master all kinds of dancing techniques. You can be all-powerful on the stage and show off your charm.] Dance? Lin Fan nodded his head in satisfaction. ¡°One yuan critical hit card: After spending one yuan, you¡¯ll receive a reward of 100 million yuan.] Lin Fan only glanced at it casually and did not take it to heart. All in all¡­ This concert allowed Lin Fan to obtain 5% of the shares of Little Tanuki Group, a high-end office building worth five billion, a large entertainment company, two land certificates for a plot of land up to 10,000 square meters, Expert-Level Dancing Technique, and a one yuan critical hit card¡­ At the same time, it raised the system¡¯s level to level 7. Furthermore, Lin Fan¡¯s Eyes of Truth became the Eyes of True Sight. On the other hand, Lin Fan had only spent 149 million yuan to organize this concert! This was definitely a great harvest! At this moment, a crisp bell rang outside. A man in a white shirt was standing outside the door with high-end lunch boxes in his hand. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan opened the door. ¡°Sir, this is the breakfast you ordered,¡± the man said respectfully.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied. The man bowed slightly and said, ¡°Enjoy your meal.¡± Whether it was his tone or his service attitude, they were all very good. Ling Rou seemed to have heard the noise outside. She dragged her tired body and slowly walked out. Lin Fan said, ¡°You¡¯re up? Since breakfast has arrived, let¡¯s eat together.¡± ¡°Alright¡­¡± Ling Rou replied. Then, she and Lin Fan sat down at the dining table and opened the high-end lunch boxes. When she saw the delicious food in the lunch box, Ling Rou was slightly stunned. Sea urchin egg, big scallops, bird¡¯s nest porridge, seafood porridge, truffle egg tart, caviar cake, and beef¡­ Ling Rou could not help but say, ¡°This¡­ How much is this breakfast?¡± ¡°About 30,000,¡± Lin Fan replied casually. More than 30,000 yuan¡­ for breakfast? Even though Ling Rou already knew that Lin Fan was rich, she could not help but widen her eyes. One had to know¡­ Her monthly food expenses were only 3,000 yuan. In other words, today¡¯s breakfast¡­ was almost a year¡¯s worth of food? Lin Fan did not care about Ling Rou¡¯s surprise. He personally scooped a bowl of bird¡¯s nest porridge and handed it to Ling Rou, ¡°You¡¯re still a little weak. Drink something light to warm yourself up first¡­¡± ¡°Alright¡­ Alright,¡± Ling Rou stuttered. When she drank the first mouthful of porridge, Ling Rou could not help but exclaim, ¡°It¡¯s delicious!¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°If you like it, then have more.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Ling Rou said. This breakfast was definitely the most Ling Rou had ever eaten. One had to know¡­ Lin Fan had ordered enough for three men. In the end, everything was finished. Ling Rou named it Operation Disc. The lunch boxes were empty, and Ling Rou¡¯s stomach became round. At this moment, Ling Rou¡¯s phone rang again. ¡°Hello, Ms. Ling. I¡¯m Li Xiaofei, the general manager of Dafang Entertainment.¡± A middle-aged woman¡¯s voice came from the phone. Ling Rou had already answered several similar calls. It could be said that she already had some experience. When she answered the call, she was no longer as nervous as before. She seemed much more relaxed and indifferent. ¡°Hello, Manager Li,¡± Ling Rou said. ¡°Dafang Entertainment is very optimistic about you, Ms. Ling¡­¡± Li Xiaofei said. Like the representatives of the previous companies, she listed out a lot of conditions. ¡°Thank you for your offer, but I¡¯d like to think about this matter carefully.¡± Li Xiaofei said, ¡°Yes, this really needs to be considered¡­ However, Ms. Ling, Dafang Entertainment can definitely give you the best resources¡­¡± The two of them chatted for a while before hanging up. Ling Rou opened her phone¡¯s reminder and slowly wrote down the name of Dafang Entertainment as well as the general remuneration and relevant contacts. Then, Ling Rou looked at the names of the companies and their benefits. She was lost in thought. ¡°You haven¡¯t decided which company to choose yet?¡± Lin Fan asked. Ling Rou shook her head and said, ¡°No¡­¡± ¡°What do you think of Xin Mei Entertainment?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Xin Mei Entertainment is one of the top three entertainment companies in Hua Nation! Its celebrities consist of A-list movie stars and singers who occupy almost a quarter of Hua Nation¡¯s market. They¡¯re also the company I want to work for the most, but they didn¡¯t call me¡­¡± Ling Rou said helplessly. Lin Fan said, ¡°Then join them.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Chapter 269 - 269 Invitation; Verification Completed! 269 Invitation; Verification Completed! Ling Rou was puzzled by Lin Fan¡¯s words. Did she not just say that Xin Mei Entertainment did not call her? Could it be that Lin Fan knew someone from Xin Mei Entertainment? It seemed like¡­ it was really possible. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone on the table rang. Lin Fan looked at the caller ID. It was an unknown number. He did not hesitate to answer the call. ¡°Hello?¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Hello¡­ Is this Mr. Lin?¡± A respectful voice sounded from the phone. Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s me. And you are?¡± ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. I¡¯m Wang Haohua, the chairman of Xin Mei Entertainment.¡± The voice on the phone became even more respectful. ¡°Oh, Chairman Dong, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°I just found out that you acquired Xin Mei Entertainment today¡­¡± Wang Haohua said carefully. ¡°Do you think we need to hold a meeting between the higher-ups and the artistes? You could guide the company¡¯s future development¡­¡± Back then, the general manager of Imperial Hotel, the chairman of the Yinshan Group, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, and the others had all sent similar invitations to Lin Fan. However, Lin Fan rejected all of them. He had no interest in such meetings. This time, there was no surprise. ¡°There¡¯s no need. The company will continue to develop as usual. I won¡¯t be hands-on regarding the management,¡± Lin Fan said calmly. When Wang Haohua heard this, he was overjoyed. He had his own plans for the future development of Xin Mei Entertainment. If the new boss needed to make adjustments, it would definitely not be a good thing. Wang Haohua¡¯s tone did not change, but his attitude became more respectful. ¡°Alright¡­¡± Wang Haohua¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He finally understood¡­ why the publicity for the concert at Jiangbei City Stadium was so intense. He understood why it was done so lavishly. All of this¡­ It was all because of his new boss, Lin Fan! He got Penguin Group, Little Tanuki Group, and Alphabet Group to vigorously promote it¡­ He spent hundreds of millions on the concert venue¡­ This boss of his was much more powerful than he had imagined! After a while, Wang Haohua said, ¡°I understand¡­ I¡¯ll definitely handle this to your satisfaction.¡± ¡°Alright, that¡¯s it,¡± Lin Fan said. After saying that, he hung up the phone. At this moment, Ling Rou, who was sitting beside him, was completely stunned. It was because she had heard everything that was said over the phone. She was not eavesdropping on purpose. It was just that she was sitting too close to Lin Fan. In addition, there was no other sound in the entire villa. Under such circumstances, it was difficult for her not to hear him. Lin Fan acquired Xin Mei Entertainment today?! First, he helped her hold a concert at all costs. Then, in order to help her enter the entertainment industry, he directly acquired one of the top three entertainment companies in Hua Nation¡­ Ling Rou looked at Lin Fan who was sitting in front of her. Her beautiful eyes started to well up with tears as a teardrop rolled down her face. These were tears of gratitude and happiness! No one had ever treated her so well in her life. Lin Fan wiped her tears away and asked, ¡°Why are you crying?¡± Ling Rou did not say anything. She used the most primitive and instinctive way to answer Lin Fan. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ About two hours later, Lin Fan and Ling Rou slowly separated. At this moment, Ling Rou¡¯s phone rang again. Ling Rou adjusted her clothes and answered the call. ¡°Hello, is this Ms. Ling Rou?¡± A familiar voice came from the phone. Ling Rou replied, ¡°Yes, this is Ling Rou¡­ May I ask who you are?¡± The voice on the phone became even more respectful. ¡°Hello, Ms. Ling! I¡¯m Wang Haohua, the chairman of Xin Mei Entertainment. I had a call with Mr. Lin earlier¡­ ¡°We¡¯ve prepared the best manager, makeup artist, and fashion designer for you. We¡¯ve also allocated roles in many movies, television shows, and programs for you¡­ ¡°When will you be free to come to the company to make the arrangements?¡± Ling Rou finally understood why the voice sounded familiar. He was the chairman of Xin Mei Entertainment! A manager, a makeup artist, a fashion designer, as well as roles in movies, TV shows, and programs¡­ She could have her pick! What kind of treatment was this?! Ling Rou suppressed the excitement in her heart and said, ¡°I can come over anytime!¡± Wang Haohua thought for a moment and said, ¡°Then¡­ Is tomorrow okay with you?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Ling Rou said. As soon as she hung up, Ling Rou¡¯s phone rang again. This time, it was her mother. Even though Ling Rou previously worked in the bar every day, her family was still worried about her. In fact, her family was very strict. Her parents had been worried for the entire night since she did not go home last night. Therefore, when she received the call, Ling Rou chose to answer it and go home. Regarding this¡­ Lin Fan also expressed his support. After the two of them were intimate for a while, Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz and brought Ling Rou back. Lin Fan did not stay outside for long. He returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa and lay on the soft sofa, playing with his phone. ¡­ Princeton University, America. These days, Jeffrey had given up on all activities and classes¡­ He spent almost the entire time in the Institute for Advanced Study, carefully checking the complex Hail Conjecture. It was not until today that he finally completed the thesis and sent the results to Annual Mathematics. If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be exhausted after working hard for a long time. However, Jeffrey¡¯s face was filled with excitement. ¡°Hey! Professor Jeffrey, why haven¡¯t I seen you for days?¡± Professor Adivan said. ¡°Because I¡¯m in the midst of witnessing something big!¡± Jeffrey said. ¡°Something big?¡± Adivan was puzzled. ¡°Hail conjecture! Someone has solved the Hail Conjecture!¡± Jeffrey said excitedly. ¡°What? Who? They came up with the answer process?¡± Adivan said anxiously. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t get so worked up, my friend!¡± Jeffrey laughed. ¡°I¡¯m not too sure who it is. As for the content¡­ You can wait for the next issue of Annual Mathematics.¡± Even though there was a detailed explanation process in his email, it would be against the rules if he showed it to others. Of course, more importantly, if he were to show it to Adivan, how could he act all mysterious afterward? Chapter 270 - 270 President Mas Call; Shopping! 270 President Ma¡¯s Call; Shopping! Naturally, Lin Fan did not know that the Hail Conjecture that he had solved had passed the verification process and was about to be published in Annual Mathematics. Of course, even if he knew, he would not be surprised. This was the answer given by the system. How could it be wrong? As for¡­ Annual Mathematics? Lin Fan did not care at all. A day of leisure passed in the blink of an eye. ¡­ The next day, Lin Fan did not order any food. Instead, he drove the Mercedes-Benz to a restaurant a few kilometers away. After all, sometimes lying down was also very tiring. Lin Fan had just eaten his fill when the phone in his pocket rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was the chairman of Little Tanuki Group, President Ma. Hence, Lin Fan did not hesitate and answered the call. ¡°Good morning, Mr. Lin!¡± President Ma laughed heartily. ¡°Good morning, President Ma. ¡°Why did you call me today, President Ma?¡± he asked after a pause. President Ma laughed. ¡°Can¡¯t I call you for no reason?¡± Then, he added, ¡°However, I did call you this time because I have something to say¡­ ¡°Mr. Lin, you should know that our country is now vigorously developing the central region.¡± ¡°Jiangbei is the central part of Hua Nation and the center of development in the future. Of course, we have to keep up with the pace of the country¡­ ¡°So, other than establishing a branch in Jiangbei two years ago, we¡¯re also preparing to invest and acquire a group of companies¡­ ¡°Recently, the person in charge of our branch in Jiangbei told me that he has inspected a group of companies with more potential for development. He asked me to go over and decide if we need to invest or acquire them. ¡°I rushed to Jiangbei early this morning for this matter¡­ It had to be said that Da Ma was indeed the capable person who founded Little Tanuki Group. When he spoke, he was full of tricks. From the general direction of the country¡¯s development, the topic of conversation gradually became about giving opinions and eating. In reality? Yesterday, President Ma suddenly found out that Lin Fan had bought another 5% of Little Tanuki¡¯s shares. Hence, Lin Fan¡¯s total of 10% of Little Tanuki¡¯s shares made him a major shareholder that far surpassed the CEO¡¯s ranking! Da Ma was not worried¡­ He just did not know why Lin Fan would increase his shares, so he rushed to Jiangbei early in the morning. His purpose¡­ He just wanted to meet Lin Fan and have a chat with him. Regarding this¡­ Lin Fan understood everything clearly. However, having a meal was not a problem. ¡°Sure.¡± Da Ma laughed heartily and said, ¡°Haha! Alright, then it¡¯s a deal!¡± The two of them chatted for a while more before hanging up. When Lin Fan walked out of the restaurant, a graceful figure appeared in front of him. ¡°Han Tian!¡± Lin Fan shouted. Han Tian slowly turned around, and her pretty face immediately revealed a hint of surprise. She called out, ¡°Lin Fan!¡± Today, Han Tian was wearing a dress with floral patterns. Her long black hair hung down naturally like a waterfall, and it swayed in the wind. Her entire body was filled with a faint fragrance¡­ It was extremely charming. Lin Fan asked, ¡°What are your plans today?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going to work today. I¡¯m going shopping,¡± Han Tian said. Shopping? Lin Fan could not help but recall that he had only casually given her two Gucci bags¡­ After that, he did not give her anything else. In addition, the time he spent with her was also the least. Thus, Lin Fan said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go shopping with you.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Han Tian¡¯s beautiful eyes instantly became crescent-shaped, and there was a faint starlight shining in them. She was extremely beautiful. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Of course it¡¯s true. Let¡¯s go shopping!¡± Then, Lin Fan drove his Mercedes Benz to the shopping mall with Han Tian. They first walked into Chanel. ¡°Welcome to Chanel.¡± The dignified female shop assistant quickly came up to them and said, ¡°May I know how I can help you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to help my girlfriend buy some clothes. Do you have any recommendations?¡± The shop assistant secretly sized up Han Tian. Then, she praised, ¡°Your girlfriend is so beautiful! I rarely see a woman with such fair skin and such a good figure like her!¡± It had to be said that the shop assistant¡¯s ability was not bad. With just a few simple words, the relationship between the few of them had unknowingly become closer. ¡°Thank you for your compliment.¡± Han Tian blushed. ¡°How is this a compliment? This is the truth,¡± the shop assistant said. Then, she pointed at a few clothes not far away and said, ¡°I personally think that these two white dresses, as well as those pink and light-colored clothes, are more suitable for you¡­¡± As she spoke, she took out the two white dresses and said, ¡°Moreover, these clothes are all 100% pure cotton. They¡¯ll be very comfortable to wear.¡± When Han Tian changed into the clothes recommended by the shop assistant, her already perfect figure became even more prominent. ¡°Do you like it?¡± asked Lin Fan. ¡°Is it comfortable to wear?¡± Han Tian nodded. Then, Lin Fan took the two pieces of clothes that he had picked out and said, ¡°Try these two.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Han Tian replied. After a while, Han Tian walked out wearing the clothes that Lin Fan had picked out. Han Tian¡¯s figure was simply too good. Every piece of clothing she wore made people¡¯s eyes light up. Lin Fan seemed to have realized this and asked, ¡°Do you want to try on other clothes?¡± ¡°No need,¡± Han Tian said. Lin Fan said, ¡°Alright then. Wrap up these clothes.¡± When the shop assistant standing at the side heard this, she was excited and quickly asked, ¡°Do you wish to purchase all the clothes here?¡± One had to know¡­ This was a Chanel store. Three pieces of clothing would easily cost tens of thousands of dollars. To her, it was a considerable achievement. Lin Fan shook his head, ¡°No¡­ Including the clothes you pointed out just now, there should be a total of eight pieces.¡± The shop assistant was obviously stunned. She could not help but ask, ¡°You¡­ Are you sure?¡± ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°No problem at all.¡± The shop assistant was very agile. She quickly folded all eight pieces of clothing and said, ¡°It¡¯s a total of 137,899 yuan.¡± Beep! Lin Fan took out his bank card and placed it on the machine. The bill appeared. At the same time, 13 red packets appeared on Lin Fan¡¯s phone. Seeing this¡­ The shop assistant¡¯s heart raced. She then bent down and said, ¡°Thank you, and please come again.¡± After Lin Fan and Han Tian had left, the shop assistant mumbled, ¡°What a godly tycoon.¡± Immediately after, she revealed a regretful expression and said, ¡°If I had known¡­ I would¡¯ve pointed at a few more clothes just now.¡± Chapter 271 - 271 Cartier; Galaxy! 271 Cartier; Galaxy! After Lin Fan and Han Tian left Chanel, they walked into the bright and fashionable Cartier jewelry store. ¡°Welcome to Cartier.¡± The salesperson standing at the door smiled and asked, ¡°May I help you?¡± Lin Fan said straightforwardly, ¡°I want to buy some earrings, necklaces, and bracelets for my girlfriend. I want all of these.¡± The smile on the salesperson¡¯s face widened. She secretly sized up Han Tian¡¯s facial features and figure before praising, ¡°Your girlfriend is so beautiful!¡± She paused for a moment before continuing, ¡°We received a very beautiful set of jewelry two days ago. It¡¯s called Galaxy. ¡°Galaxy was designed by a famous designer from Country F, Mr. Huntereb. The entire set includes earrings, a bracelet, and a necklace¡­ Not long ago, Mr. Hunter won a grand prize at the International Jewelry Convention because of Galaxy. ¡°Currently¡­ In all of Hua Nation, only our shop has Galaxy. It can be said to be a unique set of jewelry. ¡°Do you want to go to the VIP room with me?¡± For cheap jewelry worth thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, Cartier would put them on the counter outside for people to choose and buy. If one wanted to buy expensive jewelry that was worth millions or even tens of millions, one would have to go to the VIP room to buy it. Firstly, it could highlight the mystery and preciousness of the jewelry, thus providing a better experience for the customers. Secondly, it could also protect the safety of the jewelry. Under normal circumstances, the sales assistants would not easily let customers go to the VIP room. Some stores even had to verify the customers¡¯ capital. However, Lin Fan was holding eight bags of Chanel clothes. Of course¡­ If it was just because of that, the sales assistant would not have let the customer go to the VIP room directly, nor would she have recommended Galaxy. The most important reason was that the salesperson accidentally saw the watch on Lin Fan¡¯s wrist. It was a Vachacheron Constantin Tour de l¡¯Ile! The most important ability of a salesperson of a high-end brand was to have a pair of eyes that could easily recognize all kinds of luxury goods. Obviously, this salesperson was such a person! She recognized the watch at a glance. Even though she was faced with countless luxury goods every day, her heart could not help but jump. Vacheron Constantin Tour de l¡¯Ile was a luxury watch worth tens of millions! This was definitely a very distinguished and high-quality customer! Lin Fan did not hesitate and replied, ¡°Alright.¡± Then, under the guidance of the sales assistant, Lin Fan and Han Tian walked to the VIP room inside. The place was very spacious and bright. The entire place was decorated in a European style. The air was filled with a faint fragrance, giving people the feeling of being in a European castle. It was filled with the aura of nobility. After the employee invited Lin Fan and Han Tian to sit down, she brought over a set of exquisite refreshments. Then, she carried a diamond-studded sheepskin box and walked over carefully. Even the box exuded a luxurious aura that filled people with anticipation. When she arrived in front of Lin Fan and Han Tian, she first put on a pair of white gloves before slowly opening the diamond-studded sheepskin box. The crescent-shaped earrings, the ripple-like bracelet, the crown-like necklace¡­ All of them appeared in front of Lin Fan and Han Tian. Under the illumination of the lights, the three pieces of jewelry were all emitting a dazzling light. They were gorgeous and resplendent like a flowing galaxy. They were very beautiful! This was simply¡­ a box of treasures! Although the sales assistant had seen Galaxy several times, she would still feel a little surprised each time. Now that she saw it again, she could not help but be fascinated. As a result, she did not give a more detailed introduction at the first moment. After a while, the salesperson finally calmed down and said in a yearning tone, ¡°The earrings in this set of Galaxy consist of two-carat diamonds and eight small diamonds. They represent the sun, the moon, and the eight planets, which is our entire solar system¡­ ¡°The bracelet is made of platinum and 365 diamonds, representing the edge of the Milky Way. ¡°The necklace is made of ruby and countless diamonds. It represents the center of the galaxy and countless stars¡­¡± Lin Fan looked at Han Tian, who was already attracted by Galaxy. He said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll buy it.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The sales assistant was stunned for a moment. She seemed to be in disbelief. She gently moved her throat and said, ¡°You¡­ What do you mean?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll pay by card.¡± Lin Fan took out his bank card. Buy! He really wanted to buy it! The salesperson almost jumped up in joy. However, she forced herself to calm down and reminded him, ¡°Sir, the price of Galaxy is 4,888,888 yuan¡­ ¡°As it¡¯s a new product, there¡¯s no discount for the time being. However, I can help you apply for a small gift.¡± Lin Fan¡¯s expression did not change at all. He nodded casually and said, ¡°Alright.¡± The salesperson swallowed her saliva and calmed herself down a little. She turned around and brought over the POS machine. Beep! After the soft sound of the machine, a receipt for 4,888,888 yuan appeared. For every 10,000 yuan spent, he would receive a red packet. At the same time, 488 red packets appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s phone. It was this soft sound that pulled Han Tian back to reality. Lin Fan picked up the earrings, bracelet, and necklace to help Han Tian put them on. Han Tian looked at her reflection in the mirror, which was as bright as the stars. Her beautiful eyes could not help but become moist. She did not care that the salesperson was still beside her. She threw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s arms and said excitedly, ¡°Lin Fan, thank you.¡± In fact, the salesperson was not in the mood to look at her at all. It was because the salesperson was also very excited. 4,888,888 yuan worth of jewelry! She sold it directly! How much commission could she get from this? Lin Fan gently patted Han Tian¡¯s back and smiled, ¡°Silly girl, what¡¯s there to thank between us? Moreover, this is just a small toy.¡± A small toy? That was right! To Lin Fan, an item worth over four million yuan was nothing. One had to know that even if he only counted his income from breathing, sleeping, and walking, he could earn at least seven million yuan a day. After a while, the two of them slowly separated. The salesperson gradually came back to her senses. She pointed at some small items under 5,000 yuan on the counter and said, ¡°You can choose something you like as a gift from our shop.¡± In the end, Han Tian picked up a cute hair clip. After Lin Fan and Han Tian left Cartier, a few salespeople quickly surrounded the salesperson from earlier. ¡°Xiao Juan, you¡¯re amazing!¡± ¡°Xiao Juan, congratulations on selling Galaxy!¡± ¡°You must treat us.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± ¡­ Lin Fan naturally did not care about the bustling Cartier store. He accompanied Han Tian to buy two pairs of shoes and some skincare products¡­ He spent a total of 5,688,993 yuan on this trip. Correspondingly, Lin Fan received 568 red packets. Chapter 272 - 272 Meeting an Acquaintance 272 Meeting an Acquaintance When Han Tian went to the washroom, Lin Fan was bored and chose to open all 568 red packets. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Happy World Amusement Park.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a one yuan critical hit card.] ¡­ Out of the 568 red packets, Lin Fan received a total of 432,113 yuan, Happy World Amusement Park, and a one yuan critical hit card. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan could not help but reveal a strange look. 430,000 yuan was naturally not a big deal. Happy World Amusement Park? Was this not the largest amusement park in the central region that had been publicized for the past few years? It was claimed to have cost tens of billions to build. Now¡­ it was his? The one yuan critical hit card allowed him to earn 100 million yuan by spending one yuan. In other words, he had just bought so many things for Han Tian, and in the end, he earned this much money? At this moment, Han Tian walked over with a face full of happiness. She seemed to have noticed the change in Lin Fan¡¯s expression and asked, ¡°What happened to you?¡± Lin Fan cleared his throat and smiled, ¡°I encountered something interesting.¡± Then, he looked at the watch on his wrist and said, ¡°It¡¯s almost time for us to go to dinner. I might have to eat with some people later.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Han Tian said. Hence, Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class toward Imperial Hotel. Lin Fan parked the car and walked to the entrance of the Imperial Hotel. A man in a suit and leather shoes walked out and shouted in surprise, ¡°Han Tian?¡± ¡°Wang Zihao?¡± Han Tian said. Wang Zihao looked at Han Tian¡¯s beautiful face, and a hint of passion appeared on his face. However, he quickly suppressed it and smiled. ¡°Haha! Han Tian, it really is you! I didn¡¯t expect that we would meet here today! We haven¡¯t seen each other for a few years since we graduated from university, right? ¡°You haven¡¯t changed at all! ¡°Well no, you¡¯ve become younger and more beautiful than before!¡± ¡°You¡¯re exaggerating,¡± Han Tian said. ¡°How is it exaggerated? This is the truth!¡± Wang Zihao said seriously. Wang Zihao seemed to have noticed Lin Fan standing at the side and asked, ¡°Oh right, who is this?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯m Han Tian¡¯s boyfriend, Lin Fan.¡± Wang Zihao¡¯s expression darkened slightly, and he said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect¡­ the campus belle of our school to already have a boyfriend. By the way, where are you working now?¡± ¡°I¡¯m studying at Jiangbei University,¡± Lin Fan said. When Wang Zihao heard this, a hint of contempt flashed across his face. In the eyes of some ordinary people, university students were very impressive. However, in Wang Zihao¡¯s eyes, university students were nothing. ¡°So, you¡¯re a student from Jiangbei University!¡± he said. Speaking of being a student, I couldn¡¯t help but think of the time when Han Tian managed the student council in school. ¡°At that time, I was wondering why there was such a perfect person like Han Tian in this world. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also so capable! ¡°By the way, I started an internet company after graduation. I¡¯m currently lacking a vice president. Han Tian, are you willing to work with me?¡± Han Tian shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ve been working in a real estate company since I graduated. I don¡¯t know anything about internet companies. I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t be your vice president.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. In fact, most of the things in my internet company are done by the contracting companies. We¡¯re just a shell,¡± Wang Zihao said. ¡°As the vice president, you just need to assign tasks to the various companies. With your management skills back in university, this will definitely not be a problem!¡± Then, he said to Lin Fan, ¡°The jewelry on Han Tian¡¯s body should be from you, right? I know that you want to make Han Tian look beautiful and make her the most eye-catching woman in the crowd. ¡°But do you know that wearing all this glass jewelry won¡¯t make her beautiful at all? On the contrary, it¡¯ll only make her be seen as a joke. ¡°Only when she wears a one-carat diamond will she be amazing!¡± Obviously, Wang Zihao thought that the necklace, bracelet, and earrings Han Tian was wearing were all made of glass. It was no wonder that he thought so¡­ After all, Han Tian had just said that she worked in a real estate company. How much money could she earn from working in a real estate company? How could she afford diamond jewelry? Lin Fan was just a student, so it was even more impossible for him to afford diamond jewelry. Even if he was a rich second-generation heir, it was still not okay! Wang Zihao knew very well that the families of rich second-generation heirs were very strict. It was impossible for these heirs to have enough allowance to buy expensive jewelry all at once. The answer was obvious. Wang Zihao said again, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, maybe I was a little too direct. However, it¡¯s the truth. Without a career, how can love last? Lin Fan, you¡¯re a university student, so you should understand this. ¡°If you really like Han Tian and want her to be happy forever, I think you should persuade her to come to our company to be the vice president. After you graduate, you can also come to work in my company. In this way, I believe that you¡¯ll be able to make your love last! ¡°As for the scale and strength of my company, as well as your treatment¡­ There¡¯s no need to doubt it. You might not know this, but I¡¯ve just received an investment from Little Tanuki Group! In the future, even A-share listing will be possible! At that time, you¡¯ll all be shareholders of the company. You can achieve financial freedom and live happily ever after!¡± Wang Zihao used the tone of an elder to talk about great principles. He believed that Lin Fan would definitely do as he said and help persuade Han Tian to join his company. It was because Wang Zihao had used similar methods to successfully have sex with several women. In the end, even if he abandoned them, they never blamed him. On the contrary, they often felt heartache and regret for certain things. Even a meticulous woman was like that. Moreover, Lin Fan was just an ordinary male university student. At this moment¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s face was filled with a strange expression. The jewelry that Han Tian was wearing now was being laughed at? Only by wearing a one-carat diamond would a woman be able to impress others? If he remembered correctly, never mind the necklace and bracelet¡­ Han Tian¡¯s earrings were made with two-carat diamonds, right? Her diamonds were being laughed at? The little diamonds were also looked down on? What kind of logic was this? Also, he wanted both her and Han Tian to work in his company? They should not worry about the treatment? Was he prepared to give her one million or five million a month? However, even ten million was nothing! His company received an investment from Little Tanuki? He owned 10% of the shares of Little Tanuki Group and was also the second largest shareholder of Little Tanuki Group! In other words, Lin Fan¡¯s company had invested in Wang Zihao¡¯s company? Chapter 273 - 273 Receive Him Personally; Cancel All Cooperation! 273 Receive Him Personally; Cancel All Cooperation! Wang Zihao saw that Lin Fan and Han Tian did not say anything and thought that they were considering his words. He could not help but laugh coldly in his heart. He then continued, ¡°My internet company is short of people. This is definitely a great opportunity for you. You don¡¯t have to think about it anymore.¡± At this moment, a noblewoman in a Chanel dress, who had about 80 points in appearance, suddenly exclaimed. ¡°Wow! Galaxy! This is Cartier¡¯s Galaxy, right? I just saw it in a magazine! I didn¡¯t expect to see the real thing so quickly. It¡¯s too beautiful! ¡°Excuse me, can you tell me where you bought it?¡± the lady continued. ¡°Of course!¡± Han Tian replied. ¡°I bought it at the Cartier flagship store in Xinglong Shopping Mall, but they only had this set.¡± ¡°Only one set?¡± the lady said disappointedly. She then said, ¡°I really like Galaxy. Can you sell it to me? How about five million?¡± Clearly, this lady had a certain understanding of Galaxy. Galaxy¡¯s price was 4,888,888 yuan, while the lady offered five million yuan. Han Tian could almost make 110,000 yuan just by selling it! If it was an ordinary person, they would probably agree immediately. However, Han Tian shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I also like Galaxy very much, so I won¡¯t consider selling it!¡± When Wang Zihao heard the name Cartier, he felt that something was wrong. When he heard the figure of five million, his heart thumped wildly. What was going on? Was the jewelry Han Tian was wearing not made of glass? Why would others spend five million to buy it? What was going on? Wang Zihao opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask something. At this moment, behind him¡­ a somewhat familiar voice sounded. ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m so sorry to have made you wait!¡± Wang Zihao slowly turned around to look¡­ That was because he saw a group of big shots from Little Tanuki Group. They had just reviewed his company in the conference hall of the Imperial Hotel. Among them was the chairman of Little Tanuki Group, President Ma! The voice just now came from President Ma! At this moment, President Ma actually took the initiative to stretch out his right hand and tightly shake Lin Fan¡¯s hand! This¡­ This¡­ What was going on? That was President Ma! Why did he shake hands with Lin Fan? Moreover, from his tone, it seemed like he was here to pick Lin Fan up? How was this possible? Could it be that he was seeing things? Or perhaps¡­ was it an illusion? However, Wang Zihao quickly realized that¡­ this was not a hallucination, nor was it an illusion. ¡°I just arrived.¡± Lin Fan pointed at Han Tian and said, ¡°This is my girlfriend, Han Tian.¡± ¡°Oh? Is this Sister-in-law? How beautiful! Brother Lin, you have good taste!¡± President Ma praised and extended his right hand to Han Tian. Han Tian knew that they were going to have dinner with other people today. However, she never expected it to be President Ma. As a result, when she suddenly saw President Ma, she was stunned. One had to know¡­ In the hearts of many managers and businessmen, President Ma was definitely a god-like existence. At this moment, the ¡®god¡¯ had appeared in front of her! He was even shaking hands with her? After a while, Han Tian extended her right hand and shook President Ma¡¯s hand. Then, Lin Fan and the manager of the Imperial Hotel stood at the entrance and chatted for a while. At this moment, Lin Fan seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and said, ¡°By the way, President Ma¡­ Wang Zihao seems to be the boss of an internet company? Is our Little Tanuki Group going to invest in his company? But he just said that his company is an empty shell, and they contract out the work to third-party companies.¡± ¡°What? Really?¡± President Ma said. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°That¡¯s not all. He even wanted my girlfriend to be his vice president.¡± President Ma raised his eyebrows, and his expression instantly became extremely ugly. How smart was he? How could he not understand what Lin Fan meant? This person called Wang Zihao had opened a shell company, and they had actually wanted to invest in him just now! More importantly, he actually had improper thoughts about Lin Fan¡¯s girlfriend! What a¡­ bastard! One had to know¡­ The reason why President Ma came to Jiangbei was to build a better relationship with Lin Fan. Now, something like this had happened. If this ruined Lin Fan¡¯s good mood¡­ In fact, it might even cause some unnecessary conflicts. Wang Zihao really deserved to die! President Ma said to his assistant standing behind him, ¡°Cancel all cooperation and investments with this Wang Zihao! In addition, issue a notice that Wang Zihao¡¯s character is extremely bad. From today onward, anyone who has business dealings with him will no longer be able to cooperate with us!¡± Little Tanuki Group was canceling all cooperation and investments with him?! Heavens! How much effort had he put in to get Little Tanuki Group to invest in his company? Now, there was nothing left? In addition, Little Tanuki Group was going to inform the outside world that it would not cooperate with anyone who had business dealings with them. Was this not equivalent to being completely banned by Little Tanuki Group? This¡­ This¡­ Wang Zihao only felt his vision turn black¡­ His legs went weak as he knelt on the ground. He first said to President Ma, ¡°President Ma, I beg you, please don¡¯t ban me.¡± However, President Ma completely ignored his words. Then, Wang Zihao seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and kowtowed to Lin Fan while crying, ¡°Lin¡­ Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry. It was my fault just now. I shouldn¡¯t have said anything. On the account that Han Tian and I were university classmates, please forgive me¡­ I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Lin Fan said calmly, ¡°What are you sorry for?¡± Then, he held Han Tian¡¯s slender hand and said, ¡°President Ma, didn¡¯t you say you wanted to treat me to a meal? I¡¯m starving here.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes! Let¡¯s eat! Mr. Lin, Ms. Han, please come in!¡± President Ma was like a waiter. He personally stretched out his hand and led Lin Fan and Han Tian inside. This scene¡­ Everyone¡¯s hearts started to race as they started to guess Lin Fan¡¯s identity. One had to know¡­ President Ma was a man who had become the richest man in the country several times! He actually treated a young man so politely! The group of senior executives of Little Tanuki Group standing behind President Ma could not help but bow slightly towards Lin Fan. They followed closely behind him like his lackeys. After Lin Fan, Han Tian, President Ma, and the senior executives of Little Tanuki Group left, Wang Zihao collapsed to the ground dejectedly and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°He¡­ Who is he?¡± Chapter 274 - 274 Reason; Shocking! 274 Reason; Shocking! In VIP Hall 6 on the 66th floor of the Imperial Hotel, a huge dining table was filled with sumptuous dishes. At President Ma¡¯s request Lin Fan sat on the main seat, Han Tian sat on the left, and President Ma sat on the right. The other executives sat around the table. ¡°Today, I¡¯m very happy to be able to have dinner with Mr. Lin and Ms. Han. I¡¯d like to propose a toast to the two of you!¡± After a glass of wine, the atmosphere in the private room immediately became lively. In people¡¯s imagination, a wealthy person like President Ma should have an imposing aura that made people afraid to approach him. However President Ma would occasionally put his arm around Lin Fan¡¯s shoulder and laugh heartily at other times. His appearance was no different from that of an ordinary commoner. He was very approachable. After downing a few glasses of wine, President Ma¡¯s pupils shifted, and he finally spoke of the true purpose of this trip. ¡°Mr. Lin, thank you very much for your trust and recognition of our Little Tanuki Group. A few days ago, you bought another 5% of our shares. Now¡­ you¡¯re the biggest shareholder of our Little Tanuki Group in Hua Nation. I wonder if you have any instructions?¡± As soon as he said this The private room, which was originally a little lively, immediately quieted down. The senior executives of Little Tanuki Group finally understood why Da Ma was so polite to Lin Fan. He bought an extra 5% of Little Tanuki¡¯s shares! He was the largest shareholder of Little Tanuki Group in Hua Nation! They were very clear about the market value of Little Tanuki Group. To achieve this step, how much money was needed? This young man in front of them was¡­ He was actually so terrifying? Han Tian was also slightly stunned when she heard his words. She knew that Lin Fan was rich, but she did not expect him to be this rich. ¡­ Lin Fan had already expected President Ma¡¯s words. He could not help but laugh, ¡°I do approve of Little Tanuki Group, but at the same time, I¡¯m also a person who hates being troubled. ¡°So, it¡¯ll still be the same as before. I¡¯ll only take the dividends, and I don¡¯t care about the matters of Little Tanuki Group. President Ma, I believe that you¡¯ll definitely be able to make Little Tanuki better and better.¡¯ Da Ma laughed heartily when he heard that. He had achieved his goal this time! Instantly, the atmosphere in the private room became even hotter. The meal lasted until close to three o¡¯clock before it slowly ended. President Ma and Little Tanuki Group¡¯s higher-ups had been to many drinking parties, and it could be said that they were all huge drinkers. However, when the banquet ended, everyone was lying on the table. Lin Fan had Drinking Gentleman, so he would not get drunk even after a thousand glasses. He was fine. However, Han Tian still insisted on helping him into the car and heading home. Perhaps it was because there was no one at home, it was a little boring. Looking at Lin Fan¡¯s handsome face, Han Tian¡¯s pretty face gradually blushed. Then, she could not help but move closer to Lin Fan. o(*) (*3)(*) ? (?) ¡­ It was as if a spring breeze had suddenly come, and thousands of pear trees had bloomed. Thus, the entire building began to shake from the afternoon until the next morning. Lin Fan accompanied Han Tian for breakfast before driving the Mercedes-Benz G-Class toward Jiangbei University. When he walked into Jiangbei University, he was greeted by a series of bright banners. [Warm congratulations to our school¡¯s Lin Fan for solving the Hail Conjecture!] [Warm congratulations on Lin Fan¡¯s thesis being published in Annual Mathematics!] Lin Fan was stunned for a moment. After a while, he remembered that he had indeed solved the Hail Conjecture last week. Then, he asked Teacher Tiantian to publish it under her name. It seemed that Teacher Tiantian published it under his name. Regarding this Lin Fan did not mind and walked straight toward the classroom. At this moment, the classroom was already filled with discussions. ¡°Did you see that? Brother Lin Fan¡¯s thesis was published in Annual Mathematics!¡± ¡°Is the main point about Annual Mathematics? The main point is the Hail Conjecture! Oh my God, Brother Lin Fan has solved another world problem!¡± ¡°Just how on earth did Brother Lin Fan get so smart?¡± ¡­ When Lin Fan walked into the classroom, all the noise suddenly disappeared. Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Lin Fan. Seeing this Lin Fan was stunned for a moment and thought, ¡®Did I enter the wrong classroom?¡¯ Then, he could not help but look back at the classroom door. He was at the right place! At this moment, Song Yi, who was sitting in the back row, stood up and waved at Lin Fan, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, over here!¡± Lin Fan heard the voice and walked over slowly. Then, Song Yi could not help but ask, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you solved the Hail Conjecture?¡± ¡°Yes, I did,¡± Lin Fan replied casually. As soon as he said this, the classroom immediately became extremely noisy again. ¡°As expected of Brother Lin Fan!¡± ¡°Brother Lin Fan is awesome!¡± ¡°Long live Brother Lin Fan!¡± In fact¡­ The students had indeed wondered if the ¡®Lin Fan¡¯ on the school banner was the Lin Fan in their class. However, doubts were just that, after all. Now that Lin Fan had personally admitted it, how could they not be excited?! As for Lin Fan, his expression remained the same. There was no change at all. He could not help but yawn. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, when did you start researching the Hail Conjecture?¡± Ma Zhong asked. ¡°Last week,¡± Lin Fan said. Last week? Ma Zhong opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer. He researched it last week and solved it this week? That was an unsolved problem in the world! However What he did not know was that Lin Fan had written the answer to the problem on the same day he started researching it. If Ma Zhong knew, what kind of expression would he have? After the bell rang, the old professor with gray hair slowly walked in. He first scanned the students in the classroom. When he saw Lin Fan, his gaze could not help but linger for a few seconds. However, he did not talk about anything else and started today¡¯s class. Lin Fan was already a little sleepy. Now that he was listening to the old professor¡¯s leisurely pace The lecture was like a lullaby. After a few minutes, he closed his eyes and fell asleep on the table. He was relaxed and comfortable. When the old professor¡¯s gaze landed on the sleeping Lin Fan, not only was the old professor not angry, but his turbid eyes were also filled with admiration. As expected of Lin Fan. Even though he had just solved the Hail Conjecture, he had studied all night yesterday! However, he was not sure¡­ what Lin Fan was studying this time. At this moment, a gentle breeze blew across the table, causing the books on the table to rustle. Hence, the old professor slowly walked down from the podium and skillfully put his coat on Lin Fan. He could not let a good student who studied every night catch a cold. Chapter 275 - 275 The Lively Mathematics World; Overturned! 275 The Lively Mathematics World; Overturned! While Lin Fan was sleeping, the mathematics world that had been silent for a long time suddenly became noisy. International Mathematics Forum. Henghong Tool Tool: [I just woke up and suddenly heard someone say that the Hail Conjecture has been solved¡­ Am I dreaming, or have I been sleeping for decades?] Brother Jiang: [Congratulations on reaching the year 2050.] Dream God: [Heavens! My mentor and I have been studying the Hail Conjecture for a few years. Recently, we finally made some progress, but now¡­ it¡¯s been solved?] Happy Happy: [Has anyone finished reading the Hail Conjecture thesis?] Golden Goldfish: [Finished reading? After reading a few pages, I was stunned.] Huan Xuefei: [Stunned +1.] Liang Sansui: [I remember that Lin Fan solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture previously, right?] Five Elements Lacking Money: [Prodigy powerhouses are so terrifying!] Bo: [The Fields Award is going to be held soon. Do you think he¡¯ll win the award?] Come and Go: [That shouldn¡¯t be a problem for him.] ¡­ Princeton University, America. Adivan wanted to bury his head in Annual Mathematics. ¡°Take your time,¡± Jeffrey said with a smile. Adivan ignored Jeffrey and muttered to himself, ¡°It¡¯s actually like this. He could actually use this method to calculate¡­¡± Jeffrey seemed to enjoy seeing Adivan like this, and the smile on his face widened. After a long time, Adivan slowly moved his gaze away from the magazine and praised, ¡°This mathematician from Hua Nation is really amazing! His name is Lin Fan, right? ¡°After solving such an important problem, when do you think he¡¯ll hold a report?¡± Jeffrey said, ¡°That depends on the World Mathematics Organization. It¡¯s just that¡­ I wonder if Lin Fan will host the report in Hua Nation again.¡± In fact, just as Jeffrey had expected, after the World Mathematics Organization found out that the Hail Conjecture was solved, they sent an email directly to Jiangbei University, hoping that Lin Fan could come to Europe to hold a 60-minute report. ¡­ As for the main character of this matter, Lin Fan, he was still sleeping soundly on the table. After the school bell rang, Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. When Lin Fan walked out of the classroom feeling refreshed, Counselor Sun Yaodong, the dean of the Mathematics Department, Hu Chuan, and the others were all standing at the door. ¡°Lin Fan, congratulations on solving the Hail Conjecture!¡± Hu Chuan said with a smile. Lin Fan looked like he was still half-asleep. He waved his hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s just a question.¡± His tone was so relaxed as if he had only answered a simple question like ¡®1+1= 2¡¯. After saying that, Lin Fan prepared to continue walking out. Hu Chuan did not dare to hesitate any longer. He quickly said, ¡°The World Mathematics Organization sent an email inviting you to Europe to hold a 60-minute report on the Hail Conjecture.¡± Lin Fan pursed his lips and asked, ¡°Why is it another report? Tell them to come to Jiangbei if they want to attend the report.¡± Then, he did not say anything else and walked straight into the distance. The entire Jiangbei University and the entire mathematics community¡­ They were all discussing Lin Fan solving the Hail Conjecture today. As for Lin Fan himself, he was still the same as before. He ate and slept as he should. There was no difference at all. After school ended in the afternoon, Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class toward Coiling Dragon Villa. In the distance¡­ There was a violent roar of engines. Two cars were actually speeding down the street. The Land Rover in front seemed to be escaping, while the Volkswagen behind seemed to be chasing. At this moment, a child suddenly appeared in front of the Volkswagen. In order to avoid danger, the Volkswagen suddenly turned the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes. However, the speed was too fast, and the car could not stop at all. It crashed into the green belt beside it, and the entire car overturned on the ground. Seeing this¡­ many people followed and watched from afar. Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator and arrived beside the Volkswagen. It was not that he wanted to watch the show but that he knew the owner of the car, Wang Ru! This was a woman with a strong sense of justice. Not long ago, Lin Fan encountered an attempted robbery while carrying out an order on DiDi. She was the one who saved him. Of course, even without her, Lin Fan, who had Violent Aesthetics, would not have let the criminal succeed. However, it was this incident that gave Lin Fan a good impression of this beautiful woman. Now, seeing her car overturned, Lin Fan naturally went to take a look. At the same time, he thought to himself, ¡®Could she have been chasing a criminal just now?¡¯ At this time, the door of the overturned Volkswagen slowly opened, and Wang Ru climbed out with some difficulty. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Lin Fan asked. Wang Ru was stunned when she saw him. Clearly, she had not expected to meet Lin Fan here. Then, Wang Ru¡¯s eyes fell on the Mercedes-Benz G next to her. She took out her ID and said anxiously, ¡°I¡¯m investigating a case. Let me borrow your car!¡± As she spoke, she was about to head toward the Mercedes-Benz. However, she seemed to have hurt her leg after the car overturned, and she was limping. Lin Fan shook his head, ¡°Let me drive.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward to the driver¡¯s seat. Wang Ru did not hesitate too much. She sat in the passenger seat and said, ¡°Hurry up.¡± Then, she looked straight ahead and took out her phone to make a call. ¡°My car got into an accident on Southeast Street. Help me deal with it.¡± After saying that, she hung up the phone and made a second call. ¡°He should be heading toward Route 107. Get someone to stop him in front!¡± At this moment, Lin Fan had already started the car and stepped on the accelerator. In an instant, the entire car was like a roaring beast, letting out an earth-shattering roar. Then, the speed of the Mercedes-Benz GG continued to increase. 100 yards! 120 yards! 150 yards! ¡­ Seeing this¡­ Even Wang Ru, who had always been calm and collected, could not help but have a layer of cold sweat on her forehead. ¡°Mr. Lin, be careful.¡± It was no wonder that she would be like this. One had to know that this was not a highway but a city road! On the city road, if there was a traffic jam or something happened at this speed, it would not be as simple as the car getting flipped¡­ It would be a total crash! ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied. As a result, he stepped on the accelerator harder. 160 yards! 170 yards! ¡­ Wang Ru¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly. She had asked him to be careful, yet this was how was being careful? Chapter 276 - 276 Hidden Mission; Meddle! 276 Hidden Mission; Meddle! Wang Ru saw that the car did not slow down. Instead, it kept going faster. The cars and trees outside the window were like a rapid river that kept flowing backward. She finally could not help but speak again, ¡°Mr. Lin, slow down.¡± Lin Fan tilted his head and looked at Wang Ru with a strange gaze. That appearance¡­ It was as if he was saying, ¡®Didn¡¯t you tell me to be as fast as possible? Aren¡¯t you chasing after a criminal?¡¯ Wang Ru seemed to have realized this and continued, ¡°Safety first¡­ In addition, my colleague has already¡­¡± At this moment, Lin Fan suddenly said, ¡°We¡¯ve caught up.¡± Sure enough, there was a car speeding ahead. It was that Land Rover¡­ The man in the Land Rover¡­ He seemed to have noticed the Mercedes-Benz G-Class that was speeding toward him. He could not help but step harder on the accelerator and increase his speed again. However, he soon found out that no matter how much he increased his speed, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class kept closing the distance between them. The man looked at his speed of 130 km/h and cursed, ¡°Is the driver crazy?¡± However, the distance between the two did not increase because of this curse. On the contrary, the car behind was getting closer and closer. Just as the man was about to be caught, he coincidentally encountered a relatively narrow fork¡­ Without any hesitation, he turned the steering wheel and drove into the fork at the risk of almost flipping over. ¡°You¡¯re very fast, aren¡¯t you?¡± The man grinned. ¡°Let¡¯s see how you¡¯re going to catch up!¡± In fact¡­ It was not just the man who had this kind of mentality. Wang Ru, who was sitting in Lin Fan¡¯s car, also had the same thoughts. Wang Ru sighed and said, ¡°It¡¯s over. We can¡¯t catch up.¡± However, Lin Fan said calmly, ¡°Sit tight!¡± Wang Ru seemed to have thought of something. Her heart tightened, and she quickly opened her mouth to say something. However, it was too late! Lin Fan turned the steering wheel and stepped hard on the brakes. The tires of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class revolved at high speed, causing a plume of smoke to appear as the tires rubbed against the ground. The screeching sound of the brakes echoed throughout the entire street. Wang Ru only felt a huge inertia force that seemed to drag her out. Fortunately, she had fastened her seat belt, and her reaction was quick. She grabbed the armrest with one hand and was able to sit up with difficulty. At this moment, the Mercedes-Benz¡¯s two tires had already levitated, and it spun 450 degrees on the ground with just the remaining two tires. After the sound of a heavy object landing on the ground, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class let out a hurried roar again. Like a ferocious beast, it sped in the direction of the Land Rover. The man sitting in the Land Rover was almost dumbfounded by what he saw through the rearview mirror. He shouted, ¡°F*ck! That driver can drift too?¡± It was also because of this that he was dumbfounded. He was careless and accidentally knocked into a big tree on the road. The airbag popped out, and a wisp of black smoke gradually emerged from the vehicle. When the man slowly got out of the Land Rover, the Mercedes-Benz G had already stopped steadily beside him. Lin Fan and the wobbling Wang Ru got out of the car. The man composed himself and took out a switchblade. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ Don¡¯t come over¡­¡± However, Lin Fan did not seem to hear him at all as he slowly walked toward the man. When he was only one meter away from the man, the man finally shouted and stabbed toward Lin Fan. Lin Fan¡¯s body swayed slightly, and he easily dodged the flick blade. Then, Lin Fan grabbed the man¡¯s right hand that was holding the switchblade and twisted it gently. At the same time, Lin Fan kicked twice. Three crisp sounds appeared almost at the same time The man¡¯s arm, left leg, and right leg were all dislocated. He fell to the ground and screamed in pain. He lost all ability to resist. Seeing this¡­ Wang Ru¡¯s pale face showed a touch of surprise. She could not help but say, ¡°You¡­ You¡¯re that powerful? Then why were you robbed at that time?¡± Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders, ¡°I wanted to resist too, but you just happened to appear.¡± Wang Ru opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something. At this moment, the sound of a police vehicle¡¯s siren sounded in the distance. ¡°Your colleague seems to be here,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± After all, he had only helped because he saw an acquaintance whom he had a good impression of getting into trouble. Now, the problem of his acquaintance was already solved. Naturally, he did not have any reason to stay any longer. Otherwise, he might have to go to the police station to assist in the investigation later. That would be too troublesome. As for Lin Fan¡­ He hated trouble. Then, without waiting for Wang Ru¡¯s reply, Lin Fan returned to the Mercedes-Benz and stepped on the accelerator. Wang Ru looked at the Mercedes-Benz G-Class that was quickly leaving, and a different color appeared in her beautiful eyes. At this moment, two police cars stopped at the side. Several investigators walked down one after another. One of them praised, ¡°Team Leader Wang, did you drive that Mercedes-Benz G-Class? You could even drift on the streets. That was too amazing!¡± ¡°Sergeant Wang, are you injured?¡± Another investigator asked. An investigator in his 30s looked at the switchblade on the ground and the man lying on the ground. He immediately guessed what had just happened. He said coldly, ¡°This guy actually wanted to attack Team Leader Wang. He really overestimated himself!¡± Wang Ru shook her head. ¡°I didn¡¯t catch up with him, and I didn¡¯t subdue him.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± All the investigators looked puzzled. The younger investigator could not help but ask, ¡°Who, then?¡± Wang Ru slowly raised her head and looked in the direction of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. She was speechless for a long time. ¡­ When Lin Fan arrived at the Coiling Dragon Villa, a crisp notification sounded out in his mind. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve completed the hidden mission. You¡¯ve been rewarded with five silver packets.] When Lin Fan heard that, he rubbed his nose and muttered, ¡°Is this considered good karma?¡± After a pause, he said, ¡°Then let¡¯s see¡­ Just how much good karma is there? ¡°Open the five silver packets!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 500,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 200,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Haoting Jiayuan Community.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 300,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you have received 900,000 yuan.] He received 1.9 million yuan from the five silver packets. Lin Fan did not take it to heart. He immediately focused his attention¡­ on Haoting Jiayuan Community. ¡°Haoting Jiayuan Community? I think I¡¯ve seen it on a billboard before¡­ It seems to be a high-end residential area in the city center that was completed this year¡­ ¡°I meddled in a situation and got a residential area in the city center worth 1.9 million yuan. Hmm¡­ not bad.¡± Chapter 277 - 277 Huang Lings Friend; Praise! 277 Huang Ling¡¯s Friend; Praise! Perhaps it was because he had done a good deed. It was nighttime¡­ Lin Fan was sleeping soundly. When he woke up the next day, the sun had already risen high in the sky. Lin Fan picked up his phone, and a message appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,520,014 yuan was deposited into your account.] Lin Fan closed the message and looked at the time on the top right corner. ¡°It¡¯s already 10 AM? ¡°It seems that class has already started¡­ Forget it, I won¡¯t go today.¡± Then, he picked up his phone and sent a message to counselor Sun Yaodong. In the past, Lin Fan had special rights in the school. Yesterday, Jiangbei University received news that Lin Fan had solved Hail Conjecture. Lin Fan could now have even more special rights. Therefore, Sun Yaodong did not hesitate at all and directly approved his leave. Lin Fan took his time to wash up and leisurely ate a few slices of crab roe bread. Then, he drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and headed outside. When he stopped at an intersection, he happened to see Huang Ling on the sidewalk. Lin Fan turned the steering wheel and walked to the side. He shouted, ¡°Huang Ling!¡± Huang Ling turned around and shouted excitedly, ¡°Lin Fan!¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°What are you doing? Right, isn¡¯t Ziqian with you?¡± In Lin Fan¡¯s impression, Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian were inseparable. ¡°She had something to do at home, so she went back,¡± Huang Ling said. ¡°A few of my high school friends are in Jiangbei. I¡¯m going to meet them.¡± ¡°A class reunion?¡± asked Lin Fan. ¡°Do you want me to go with you?¡± Lin Fan asked again. ¡°Really? Do you want to go?¡± Huang Ling was pleasantly surprised. Her beautiful eyes were faintly glowing. Initially, Huang Ling had chosen to follow Lin Fan because she envied Qiu Ziqian¡¯s life. However, her envy gradually turned into deep love. Lin Fan smiled ¡°Where are you guys meeting?¡± ¡°Fenglai Hotel in front,¡± Huang Ling hurriedly said. ¡­ In a private room at Fenglai Hotel. Three women sat together and chatted casually. They would laugh from time to time. The atmosphere was very relaxed. At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Then, Huang Ling and Lin Fan pushed the door open and walked in. ¡°You¡¯re¡­ Huang Ling?¡± The woman in the beige windbreaker asked. Huang Ling nodded at first, then said hesitantly, ¡°Zhou Lan?¡± ¡°Wow! It really is you, Huang Ling!¡± The three of them cried out in surprise. Instantly, the atmosphere in the private room became even more intense. Lin Fan secretly observed the three of them. He realized that they were well-dressed and had good looks. At least¡­ they scored 70 points in appearance. A beautiful woman would always have beautiful friends. In fact, when Lin Fan was observing them, the three women were also observing Lin Fan. They all realized that Lin Fan was tall and had a refined aura. His facial features were well-defined¡­ He was simply a rare handsome man! Finally, Zhou Lan could not help but ask, ¡°Huang Ling, who¡¯s this handsome guy next to you? Why didn¡¯t you introduce us?¡± ¡°I¡¯m Huang Ling¡¯s boyfriend, Lin Fan,¡± Lin Fan introduced himself. Immediately, the three of them began to tease. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect our class belle to have a boyfriend now!¡± ¡°But Huang Ling has good taste!¡± ¡°A handsome man paired with a beautiful woman, what a splendid sight!¡± When Huang Lingyan heard this, her face blushed slightly. Her eyes were filled with happiness and sweetness. At this moment, the door was pushed open again. A woman in a Balenciaga dress with heavy makeup and a Gucci bag on her waist strolled in with a beer-bellied man. Everyone in the private room could not help but look at the door. However, no matter how they looked at the woman, they did not find her familiar at all. The same went for the man with the beer belly. Zhou Lan could not help but ask, ¡°You¡¯re¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m Xu Lihua,¡± said the woman with heavy makeup.¡± ¡°You¡¯re Xu Lihua?¡± Zhou Lan asked in surprise. The other people in the private room also let out a wave of incredulous sounds. ¡°Lihua, you¡¯ve changed a lot.¡± ¡°I almost didn¡¯t recognize you at all.¡± ¡­ ¡°It looks like it¡¯s worth it to spend tens of thousands of yuan on cosmetics every month,¡± Xu Lihua said proudly. In Xu Lihua¡¯s eyes¡­ If everyone said that she had changed a lot, then she must have become more beautiful. Of course, more importantly, she had to tell them that she used cosmetics that cost tens of thousands of yuan every month. Then, Xu Lihua scanned the room. When she saw Huang Ling, her heavily made-up face flashed with anger. In high school, Huang Ling was the most beautiful girl in class. She had excellent grades too. Therefore, whether it was the teachers or the students, especially the male students, they were all very good to her. This made Xu Lihua very jealous. In Xu Lihua¡¯s opinion, if it were not for Huang Ling, everything she had would have belonged to her. She should be the woman who was praised by all. At this moment, Xu Lihua noticed Lin Fan. Her face flashed with surprise as she asked, ¡°This is¡­¡± Zhou Lan introduced, ¡°This is Lin Fan, Huang Ling¡¯s boyfriend. Isn¡¯t he handsome?¡± Huang Ling¡¯s boyfriend! Why? Why was her boyfriend so handsome?! The surprise on Xu Lihua¡¯s face disappeared and was replaced by¡­ jealousy and hatred. ¡°Not only is he handsome, but he¡¯s also very young!¡± The woman beside him immediately praised. ¡°He looks like a student!¡± ¡°I¡¯m indeed a student,¡± Lin Fan said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m studying at Jiangbei University.¡± Everyone in the room became even more excited. ¡°Heavens! He really is a student!¡± Xu Lihua snorted lightly. She fiddled with the LV bag in her hand and said, ¡°So, you¡¯re a student! Jiangbei University is alright. Huang Ling, if he graduates in the future, he can join my husband¡¯s company! ¡°Since we¡¯re former classmates, it¡¯s not a problem to offer him a salary of 18,000 yuan!¡± After a pause, Xu Lihua said to the few people beside her, ¡°You guys too¡­ If you have any relatives or friends looking for a job, you can have them join my husband¡¯s company.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Zhou Lan and the others were pleasantly surprised. When Xu Lihua¡¯s husband, Zhang Jianbo, walked into the room, he was immediately attracted by Huang Ling¡¯s appearance. At this moment, after he heard everyone¡¯s conversation, his eyes shifted slightly as he smiled casually. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s true! ¡°Although I run a construction company, I want talents from all kinds of backgrounds, including human resources, accounting, management, security, drivers, construction, design, media, and so on. You¡¯re all Lihua¡¯s classmates, so you¡¯ll be treated well! ¡°By the way, do any of you want houses in the school district of Second Primary School?¡± When Zhou Lan and the others heard this, they were all extremely excited. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Chapter 278 - 278 Assist; Too Funny! 278 Assist; Too Funny! One had to know¡­ The two things that people from Hua Nation were most concerned about were housing in the school district and work. At this moment, Zhang Jianbo could easily help everyone solve those concerns. How could they not be excited? Zhang Jianbo had his own reasons for saying this. In his opinion¡­ He was showing off the huge scale and ability of his company. Huang Ling, this beauty, must be worshipping him now. When he had the chance to find a way to contact her, he would definitely be able to get his hands on her quickly. Zhang Jianbo had done similar things many times, so he was very familiar with these methods. Xu Lihua raised her head like a proud white swan and said, ¡°Haoting Jiayuan Community is next to Second Primary School. You guys should have heard of it before, right? ¡°The houses in the residential area are luxurious, and the exquisite decorations inside¡­ will be done by my husband¡¯s company! ¡°My husband is very familiar with the boss of the developer of Haoting Jiayuan Community. If you want a house in the school district, just go over and tell them my husband¡¯s name.¡± As soon as she said that, the private room became even livelier. ¡°I¡¯m planning to buy a house. Lihua, I¡¯ll have to trouble you.¡± ¡°I want to buy a house too¡­¡± ¡°Haoting Jiayuan Community. There seem to be more than a thousand houses in this community¡­Wouldn¡¯t the renovation of all the houses cost tens of millions? Lihua, your husband is amazing!¡± ¡°Tens of millions? Oh my God!¡± ¡­ Xu Lihua looked at everyone¡¯s admiring gazes, and her face was full of pride. However, she still said in a calm tone, ¡°Have you heard of Haoting Building?¡± Zhou Lan immediately said, ¡°I do! It¡¯s a very tall building by the river!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Xu Lihua nodded. ¡°The renovation of that building will also be done by my husband¡¯s company!¡± Everyone exclaimed again. ¡°Heavens! Such a tall building was actually renovated by your husband¡¯s company. That project was probably worth more than a hundred million yuan!¡± ¡°A hundred million yuan?!¡± ¡°Your husband is too strong!¡± ¡°Lihua, you¡¯ve really found a good husband!¡± ¡­ Xu Lihua was so happy that she almost trembled when she heard everyone¡¯s envious voices. She glanced at Huang Ling. That look¡­ It was as if she was saying, ¡®So what if you¡¯ve found a young and handsome boyfriend? Compared to my husband, he¡¯s far inferior!¡¯ ¡°By the way, do you know about Happy World Amusement Park?¡± Xu Lihua asked. ¡°The Happy World Amusement Park in the North District?¡± someone said. ¡°If it¡¯s that, I¡¯ve heard of it. It seems to be the largest amusement park in the central region. It cost tens of billions to build!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s a big amusement park! I even said that I would bring my nephew there to play in the future.¡± ¡­ ¡°The basic facilities of this amusement park will be built by my husband¡¯s company,¡± Xu Lihua said. In an instant, the entire private room was in an uproar. ¡°Oh my God!¡± ¡°Your husband is really too¡­ too¡­ He¡¯s too powerful!¡± First, it was Haoting Jiayuan¡¯s exquisite renovation. Then, it was Haoting Building. Now¡­ it was Happy World Amusement Park! Everyone did not know how to praise Zhang Jianbo anymore. They looked at Xu Lihua with envy and Zhang Jianbo with admiration. ¡­. Lin Fan, who was standing at the side, had a weird look on his face. Haoting Jiayuan Community? Haoting Building? Happy World Amusement Park? These¡­ Were they not all his properties? ¡­. Zhang Jianbo did not expect Xu Lihua to say all that¡­ His company was indeed going to renovate Haoting Jiayuan Community. However, it was not all of the houses. It was just for the renovation of one building. His company was indeed going to renovate Haoting Building. However, it was not the entire building, just a few floors. His company was indeed going to build the basic facilities for Happy World Amusement Park, but it was just a few toilets. All the projects added up to an estimated tens of millions. From Xu Lihua¡¯s words¡­ it seemed like a super project worth billions. Zhang Jianbo secretly looked at Huang Ling beside him and realized that she seemed to be looking at him as well. He was delighted and secretly praised, ¡®Wife, good assist!¡¯ Thus, Zhang Jianbo acted as if he did not care and said, ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t care about the projects at all. After all, I¡¯ve already earned enough money. ¡°If it¡¯s possible, I¡¯d rather not take on so many projects and have more free time to rest. ¡°However, the people in charge of these projects are my friends. If they insist on making me do it, I can¡¯t do anything about it.¡± After saying that, he did not forget to look at Huang Ling again. It was as if he was saying, ¡®Beauty, follow me. I¡¯m rich!¡¯ Zhang Jianbo¡¯s thoughts and Xu Lihua¡¯s hostility toward Huang Ling could not escape Lin Fan¡¯s eyes. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± he asked. ¡°Zhang Jianbo.¡± Zhang Jianbo slowly turned his body, but his answer was directed at Huang Ling as if he was introducing himself to her. Lin Fan said calmly, ¡°Zhang Jianbo, right? Since you don¡¯t want to do these projects, I¡¯ll help you reject them.¡± After saying that, he picked up his phone and dialed the number of Zhang Kai, the general manager of Haoting Jiayuan Community. When Lin Fan had obtained Haoting Jiayuan Community, the other party had called him once with the excuse of reporting work. Naturally, Lin Fan did not listen to it seriously. He just casually said a few words to dismiss him. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± At this moment, Zhang Kai¡¯s extremely respectful voice sounded as soon as the call was connected. ¡°Did you hand over all the renovations to a man named Zhang Jianbo?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Our renovation works were handed over to several companies for renovation¡­¡± Zhang Kai said. As he spoke, he was still flipping through the information. Soon, he continued, ¡°Zhang Jianbo is renovating one of the houses. It¡¯s a nine-story bungalow. Mr. Lin, we¡­¡± Lin Fan did not wait for Zhang Kai to finish and said directly, ¡°Terminate the contract with him.¡± Zhang Kai did not hesitate at all and said, ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± After Lin Fan hung up, Xu Lihua asked, ¡°Huang Ling, who did your boyfriend call?¡± ¡°The general manager of Haoting Jiayuan Community¡­ Didn¡¯t your husband say he doesn¡¯t want to do so many projects? I¡¯ll help him reduce his workload a little,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°You called the general manager of Haoting Jiayuan Community?¡± Xu Lihua asked curiously. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re the son of the owner of Haoting Jiayuan Community?¡± Lin Fan shook his head, ¡°That¡¯s not the case¡­ I¡¯m the owner of Haoting Jiayuan.¡± Xu Lihua could not help but burst into laughter. ¡°Hehehe! Huang Ling, your boyfriend is so funny! Did you hear that? He actually said that he called the general manager of Haoting Jiayuan to ask him to cancel the cooperation with my husband¡­ ¡°Moreover, he even said that he¡¯s the owner of Haoting Jiayuan. This is too funny.¡± Chapter 279 - 279 Im the Owner; As You Wish! 279 I¡¯m the Owner; As You Wish! If Lin Fan had said that he was the son of the owner of Haoting Jiayuan, Xu Lihua would have believed him. However, Lin Fan actually said that he was the owner of Haoting Jiayuan¡­ In Xu Lihua¡¯s eyes, this was a joke! What a joke! One had to know¡­ Haoting Jiayuan was the school district of Second Primary School in the city center. Lin Fan was just a student. As a student, could he be the owner of Haoting Jiayuan? This was impossible! Lin Fan ignored Xu Lihua and made another call. This time, he called the general manager of Haoting Building. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. What can I do for you?¡± As soon as the call connected, the general manager¡¯s respectful voice sounded from the other end. Lin Fan said directly, ¡°Immediately cancel all cooperation with Zhang Jianbo!¡± The general manager did not know who Zhang Jianbo was, but he still said without hesitation, ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± After Lin Fan hung up, Xu Lihua asked, ¡°Who did you call this time?¡± ¡°The general manager of Haoting Building,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Are you telling me that you¡¯re also the owner of Haoting Building?¡± Xu Lihua asked, trying hard not to laugh. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°Hahaha!¡± Xu Lihua laughed so hard that she could not control herself. Beside her, Zhang Jianbo shook his head like an elder and said, ¡°I might need to remind you¡­Although Haoting Jiayuan and Haoting Building have similar names, the residential area and the building weren¡¯t built by the same company.¡± What he meant was that the boss of these two properties was not the same person. He should not say that he was the owner of these two properties anymore. Then, she saw that Lin Fan was still holding his phone. It seemed like he wanted to continue making calls. She could not help but say again, ¡°Are you going to say that you¡¯re the owner of Happy World Amusement Park?¡± ¡°I¡¯m indeed the owner of Happy World Amusement Park,¡± Lin Fan said calmly. Xu Lihua laughed so hard that her body trembled. Cracks appeared on her face that was covered with heavy makeup. The thick foundation fell on her clothes like snowflakes. ¡°Is that so? Then¡­ Then hurry up and call Happy World Amusement Park to cancel the contract with my husband. It¡¯ll also make my husband feel a little more relaxed, hahaha!¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°As you wish.¡± After saying that, he made another call. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± A flattering voice came from the phone. Lin Fan said directly, ¡°Terminate the contract with Zhang Jianbo.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± The call ended. When Xu Lihua saw that Lin Fan had really gone to make a call, she laughed so hard that tears flowed out. ¡°Huang¡­ Huang Ling, I finally understand why you chose him as your boyfriend¡­ He must have told you that he¡¯s the CEO of many companies, right? ¡°Your boyfriend¡­ Really¡­ He¡¯s really handsome and rich! Hahaha!¡± Xu Lihua¡¯s laughter grew louder after she said the last sentence. Originally, Zhou Lan and the others had a good impression of Lin Fan. At this moment, they could not help but shake their heads. They did not like people who bragged. As for Lin Fan? He bragged again and again. Xu Lihua¡¯s husband just said that he had a partnership with Haoting Jiayuan, Haoting Building, and Happy World Amusement Park. Lin Fan just happened to be the owner of these three? Was there such a coincidence? Was he playing with them like a monkey? Zhou Lan finally could not help but say, ¡°Lin Fan, don¡¯t joke around like this.¡± Everyone treated Lin Fan¡¯s words as a joke. Except¡­ Huang Ling. She looked at Lin Fan in shock. Those properties were indeed famous, but as long as Lin Fan said it, it was true! She trusted Lin Fan unconditionally! At this moment, Zhang Jianbo¡¯s phone rang urgently. He looked at the caller ID, and his eyes lit up. He smiled and said, ¡°What a coincidence! We were just talking about Haoting Jiayuan, and now¡­ the director of Haoting Jiayuan is calling me! ¡°Everyone, please be quiet!¡± As Zhang Jianbo spoke, he deliberately waved the phone in his hand. He first glanced at Lin Fan with a mocking gaze, then his gaze landed on Huang Ling. That appearance¡­ It was as if he was saying to Huang Ling, ¡®Your boyfriend only knows how to brag, while I¡¯m the real rich man!¡¯ Very soon, the entire private room fell silent. Then, Zhang Jianbo pressed the answer button and turned on the speaker. The next moment, a roar came from the phone. ¡°Zhang Jianbo! What the hell are you doing? ¡°I kindly gave you a small mansion in Haoting Jiayuan to renovate, but is this how you repay me?!¡± Zhang Jianbo was so frightened that his body trembled. He stuttered, ¡°¡­Director Wang, this¡­ Is there a misunderstanding?¡± ¡°Misunderstanding? What f*cking misunderstanding? The owner of Haoting Jiayuan personally called the general manager and said that he wants to cancel the contract with you! Tell me, what misunderstanding could there be? ¡°Damn it! If the higher-ups punish me, I definitely won¡¯t let you off easily!¡± After saying that, Director Wang hung up the phone. The busy tone kept echoing in the private room. Zhang Jianbo, Xu Lihua, Zhou Lan, and the others seemed to have been immobilized. They did not move at all. The owner personally called the general manager and canceled the cooperation with Zhang Jianbo. When everyone heard these words¡­ they felt that it was so familiar. Zhang Jianbo¡¯s throat moved as if he wanted to say something. At this moment, his phone rang again. The caller ID showed that it was Director Liu of Haoting Building. Like before, Zhang Jianbo hurriedly answered the call. ¡°Zhang Jianbo! F*ck you! How dare you offend the big boss of our Haoting Building?!¡± Director Liu shouted angrily. Zhang Jianbo¡¯s body trembled again, and a thin layer of sweat seeped out of his forehead. He stuttered, ¡°D-Director Liu¡­ I¡­ I didn¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Motherf*cker! The big boss just called the general manager! You¡¯ve harmed my interests this time around! I¡¯m telling you, if you can¡¯t satisfy the big boss, I¡¯ll definitely make you regret it!¡± Director Liu shouted sternly. Then, the other party hung up the phone again. The busy tone echoed in the private room once more. The owner of the building had called the general manager again. Zhang Jianbo, Xu Lihua, Zhou Lan, and the others could not help but think of Lin Fan and his words. Everyone turned around slowly like puppets and looked at Lin Fan. Chapter 280 - 280 I Will Grant You Your Wish; The Price! 280 I Will Grant You Your Wish; The Price! The sound of the bell broke the silence in the private room. Zhang Jianbo looked at the caller ID on the screen. It was Director Zhao of Happy World Amusement Park. He had a bad premonition. The phone rang in the private room for a long time¡­ Finally, Zhang Jianbo reached out his trembling fingers and pressed the answer button. Immediately, another familiar roar resounded throughout the entire private room. ¡°Zhang Jianbo! F*ck! ¡°I took pity on you, and that¡¯s why I let you renovate the toilets in the amusement park. But what the hell did you do?!¡± Zhang Jianbo said in a panic, ¡°I¡­¡± I¡­¡± When Director Zhao heard his voice, he was furious and shouted, ¡°Your *ss! You¡¯re so f*cking bold! How dare you provoke the big shot of our Happy World Amusement Park? He personally called the general manager and told him to cancel all cooperation with you! ¡°Do you think this will end at just the cancelation of the cooperation? I¡¯m telling you, this matter isn¡¯t over!¡± The familiar busy tone echoed in the private room. At this moment, no matter how stupid everyone was¡­ They understood that Zhang Jianbo was not contracted to do the renovation of all the houses in Haoting Jiayuan, nor was he contracted to renovate all the floors of Haoting Building. Additionally, he was not responsible for all the facilities in Happy World Amusement Park. He had always been bragging. Lin Fan, on the other hand, did not joke around. He was really the owner of Haoting Jiayuan, Haoting Building, and Happy World Amusement Park. Zhang Jianbo recalled the words of the three directors, and his entire body was drenched in sweat. He quickly bowed to Lin Fan and apologized, ¡°I-I¡¯m sorry. Please forgive me this time¡­¡± His company only took on the renovation of a bungalow in Haoting Jiayuan, the renovation of a few floors of Haoting Building, and the renovation of a few toilets in Happy World Amusement Park. The total sum of all the projects was only tens of millions. However, they were very big projects for his company. For the sake of these projects, Zhang Jianbo sent a large number of gifts. Two days ago, he recruited a new batch of employees and purchased a large number of materials. Zhang Jianbo would lose a large sum of money. It was already unbearable for Zhang Jianbo. In addition, the directors of these three companies were going to look for trouble with him. These three directors were definitely big shots in the industry. Any one of them could suppress Zhang Jianbo until there was nothing he could do. Now, the three of them would be attacking at the same time. The consequences¡­ Just thinking about it made Zhang Jianbo tremble. Xu Lihua did not expect Lin Fan to be the owner of Haoting Jiayuan, Haoting Building, and Happy World Amusement Park. She roared angrily in her heart, ¡®Why? Why is Huang Ling¡¯s boyfriend so young and handsome? Moreover, he¡¯s a super tycoon! God, are you blind?!¡¯ However, Xu Lihua said, ¡°L-Lin Fan, we were just joking. Why did you take it seriously?¡± How could Xu Lihua¡¯s expression escape Lin Fan¡¯s eyes? ¡°What do you mean?¡± He asked lightly. ¡°I just want you and your husband to get what you want. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll let your husband rest well.¡± Then, Lin Fan said to Huang Ling, ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve ever gone shopping or eaten with you alone. Why don¡¯t¡­ we do it today?¡± Huang Ling¡¯s beautiful eyes lit up immediately. She nodded and said, ¡°Alright!¡± Although her gathering with her high school classmates had not started yet, how could a mere gathering compare to shopping and eating with Lin Fan. Hence, Lin Fan held Huang Ling¡¯s slender waist and prepared to walk out. Xu Lihua could not help but feel a little anxious. She shouted, ¡°Huang¡­ Huang Ling, our gathering hasn¡¯t started yet¡­ ¡°We were high school classmates. You have to help me persuade your boyfriend¡­¡± However, Huang Ling did not care about her at all. She continued to walk out with Lin Fan. In fact, Huang Ling did not pay much attention to this gathering. After all, they were not particularly close in high school. Moreover, after so many years, they had almost become strangers. As for helping to persuade Lin Fan? It was even more impossible for Huang Ling to do that. That was because as long as Lin Fan had decided on something, she would not go against him. Furthermore, Xu Lihua had mocked Lin Fan earlier. Taunting Lin Fan? Well, she had to pay the price now! Lin Fan and Huang Ling quickly walked out of the room and disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight. At this moment, Zhang Jianbo¡¯s phone rang again. ¡°Boss, this is bad. The construction sites that we used to work with have all chased us out. In addition, the bosses of the places we got the bricks, cement, sand, and other materials from have all come to collect debts¡­¡± Zhang Jianbo¡¯s body went limp, and his phone fell to the ground. He slumped on the chair, his face pale. He said dejectedly, ¡°It¡¯s over¡­¡± ¡­ Lin Fan and Huang Ling did not care about what happened after that. Just as Lin Fan sat in the Mercedes-Benz, his phone in his pocket vibrated. 12:00! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 55 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 18,888 yuan.] Lin Fan clicked on the red packets a few times and received a total of 51,331 yuan. Then, he put his phone in his pocket and stepped on the gas pedal, heading toward the shopping mall. Today, Lin Fan bought Huang Ling a bunch of clothes, shoes, and cosmetics¡­ He spent a total of 1,398,000 yuan. When they passed by a car dealership, Lin Fan spent another 470,000 yuan to buy a Mini Cooper for Huang Ling. In the past, Lin Fan had planned to buy a car for Huang Ling. However, at that time, Huang Ling said that she was always with Qiu Ziqian and that the two of them could use one car. As it turned out, when Qiu Ziqian had something to do, Huang Ling did not have a car to use. It was very inconvenient. At night, Lin Fan and Huang Ling went to a two-star Michelin restaurant. They ordered top-grade foie gras, M5 Wagyu beef, caviar egg tarts, and cheese snails¡­ as well as a bottle of Roman¨¦e-Conti. This dinner cost 43,320 yuan. As the two of them ate, they listened to the faint sounds in the restaurant while admiring the night view outside the French windows¡­ It was very relaxing and comfortable. That night, Lin Fan and Huang Ling arrived at Yi Ke City. Perhaps it was because of the moonlight shining on Huang Ling¡¯s body that she gradually felt extremely hot. Huang Ling¡¯s body began to heat up, and her pretty face gradually became hot! o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ? (¡¥¦ê¡¥?) Rip! ¡­ Chapter 281 - 281 Mature Spirit Tea; Delicious! 281 Mature Spirit Tea; Delicious! Lin Fan went to school in the morning, listened to classes, slept, and ate¡­ The past two days were extremely dull and leisurely After school today, Lin Fan returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa. He first sat on the sofa and played with his phone for a while. As if he had thought of something, he could not help but mutter, ¡°It seems¡­ It¡¯s been a while since I watered the Spirit Tea Plants.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and walked toward the lake where the Spirit Tea Plants were planted. In the next moment¡­ Lin Fan was stunned. This was because he had only planted the Spirit Tea Plants two weeks ago. Now, they were already as tall as half a person. They were all green too. It was as if a green ocean had been added to the boundless lake. When a gentle breeze blew past from afar, a sweet fragrance wafted over, causing Lin Fan¡¯s entire body to feel refreshed and relaxed. Just the smell alone was so good. How good would the tea be when drinking it? As Lin Fan thought about it, he quickly plucked a batch of tea leaves, washed them, and fried them¡­ His movements were extremely swift, skilled, standard, and natural. If there was a tea maker here, they would definitely be shocked. This was because frying tea was a skill. However, Lin Fan pushed his technique to the extreme. Even if he was compared to an expert who had specialized in frying tea for more than ten years, he would not be inferior. However, Lin Fan was only in his 20s! Could it be that he had started frying tea leaves when he started walking? Simply¡­ unbelievable! In fact, it was normal for Lin Fan to have such superb tea-frying skills. After all, he had Expert-Level Tea Ceremony Skills, so it was naturally not a problem for him to fry tea leaves. About an hour later, the curled-up tea leaves were placed in front of Lin Fan. Then, Lin Fan chose the right amount of tea leaves to brew. Lin Fan could not wait to drink the tea. He poured it into his mouth eagerly. Clear, fragrant, and refreshing! The aftertaste was endless! After drinking the tea, Lin Fan felt as though his entire soul had been cleansed. All the fatigue and discomfort in his body were swept away. Even Lin Fan could not help but praise, ¡°Good tea!¡± Then, he could not help but drink a few big glasses. ¡°This tea¡­ It can definitely prolong one¡¯s life!¡± Hence, Lin Fan plucked a large batch of tea leaves and continued to stir-fry them at home. If one drank ordinary tea at night, it would be very difficult to fall asleep. However, Spirit Tea was the complete opposite. It allowed Lin Fan to sleep more comfortably than usual. The next day, after Lin Fan had his lunch, he took a big box of tea leaves that he had prepared last night and drove his Mercedes-Benz toward Qing City. It was good stuff¡­ Naturally, he had to give it to his parents at the first possible moment. Lin Fan sped along the highway and arrived at his house in about an hour. Just as Lin Fan got out of the car, a surprised cry sounded from afar. ¡°Brother, why are you back?¡± Even though Lin Fan had not seen the person, he knew that it was his sister, Lin Xiaoyao, just by hearing the voice. ¡°Yeah, I brought something back¡­ You came at the right time. Come over and help me carry it.¡± As Lin Fan spoke, he pointed at the big box in the trunk. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m your sister!¡± Lin Xiaoyao protested. ¡°I¡¯m a girl!¡± Do you have the heart to let me carry such a big thing?¡± ¡°How can I bear to?¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°But¡­ this is for your own good. Look at you¡­ Your face is getting sharper and sharper. You have to move some things and exercise a little. Only then will you be able to grow rounder. Won¡¯t it be better for you to be round?¡± After Lin Fan finished speaking, he did not forget to pinch Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s cheeks. He shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s getting more and more serious.¡± ¡°Brother!¡± Lin Xiaoyao protested again. Even though she was shouting, she still carried the big box according to Lin Fan¡¯s instructions. ¡°Huh, it doesn¡¯t seem very heavy¡­¡± Lin Xiaoyao said. ¡°Brother, what¡¯s inside? Could it be facial masks?¡± At this point, Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s eyes lit up. Lin Fan was just about to answer when Dai Weixue¡¯s happy voice rang out, ¡°Lil Fan, you¡¯re back?¡± ¡°Yes, I am.¡± Lin Fan smiled. Beside him, Lin Xiaoyao, who was carrying a big box, said, ¡°Mom, I¡¯m here too.¡± Lin Tao, who was in the bedroom, heard the sound and came out. He said, ¡°Lil Yao, why are you carrying such a big box?¡± Then, he said in a blaming tone, ¡°Lil Fan, aren¡¯t you going to help Lil Yao? You¡¯re her brother!¡± As he spoke, he went forward to help Lin Xiaoyao carry the box. However, Lin Fan was one step ahead and took the box from Lin Xiaoyao. As a son¡­ Of course, he could not trouble his parents. Lin Xiaoyao could not help but raise her white and tender chin as she smiled smugly at Lin Fan. That look¡­ she was like a victorious little swan. ¡°What¡¯s in the big box?¡± asked Dai Weixue. Lin Xiaoyao could not help but prick up her ears to listen. Obviously, she was also very curious. Lin Fan replied,¡± There are tea leaves inside. They taste pretty good.¡± Lin Xiaoyao could not help but look disappointed when she heard that. She pursed her lips and said, ¡°What¡¯s so good about tea?¡± Lin Tao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Is that so? Then I want to have a good taste of it!¡± As he spoke, he opened the box. He took a suitable amount of tea leaves and put them into the kettle, filling it with boiling water. Whoosh! Instantly, the rich fragrance of tea filled the entire room. Even Lin Xiaoyao, who was not interested in tea, could not help but sniff and swallow her saliva. Lin Tao could not wait to pour himself a cup. Gulp! As the tea entered his throat, an unprecedented sense of relief floated to his heart. At this moment, Lin Tao felt as if he had instantly become ten years younger. Moreover, he had arrived in the overlapping mountain forests. He quietly watched the stream flow, the tender shoots spread out, and the gentle breeze blow. Everything¡­ was so fresh and so natural. Lin Fan poured a cup of tea for his mother and said, ¡°Mom, try this tea too.¡± Dai Weixue had long been attracted by the fragrance of the tea. She took the teacup and took a sip. Her face immediately revealed an expression of enjoyment that was difficult to hide. Lin Xiaoyao, who was beside them, saw how intoxicated her parents were. She quickly found a cup and said, ¡°Brother, quickly pour a cup for me. I want to drink it too.¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t drink tea?¡± ¡°Brother, I want it!¡± Lin Xiaoyao said coquettishly. Lin Fan smiled and shook his head. Then, he poured her a cup of tea and said, ¡°Be careful, don¡¯t burn yourself.¡± Gulp, gulp! Lin Xiaoyao did not care much and poured the tea into her mouth. Soon, she shouted excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s so delicious!¡± Then, she held out her cup and shouted, ¡°Brother, I want more!¡± Chapter 282 - 282 Awesome; Elder Qins Invitation! 282 Awesome; Elder Qin¡¯s Invitation! The family drank tea and chatted at home. It was extremely relaxed and warm. At this moment, Lin Xiaoyao seemed to have thought of something and asked, ¡°Oh right, Brother, did you solve Hail Conjecture?¡± She saw the news on her phone today. However, the news only mentioned the school and the person¡¯s name. There was no photo at all. Initially, Lin Xiaoyao had planned to call Lin Fan today to ask him. Now, she could ask him face-to-face. Lin Fan replied, ¡°Yeah.¡± Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s eyes immediately widened as she shouted, ¡°F*ck! Awesome!¡± ¡°Lil Yao, you¡¯re a girl. You need to watch your words?¡± Dai Weixue scolded. ¡°Mom, that¡¯s Hail Conjecture!¡± Lin Xiaoyao said. ¡°It¡¯s an unsolved problem in the world!¡± ¡°You should still watch your words¡­ Do you still want to get married in the future?¡± Dai Weixue said. ¡°Why would I marry?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked nonchalantly. ¡°If I marry, what about my brother¡¯s money?¡± Time at home was like a stream of water, passing by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. Under the urging of his parents, Lin Fan ate lunch and drove the Mercedes-Benz to Jiangbei. Just as he arrived at the Coiling Dragon Villa, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket rang. He looked at the caller ID and was surprised. It was because the caller was Old Master Qin Weiming. Lin Fan had a good impression of this old man. He was bold and forthright, and he would repay kindness. More importantly¡­ If it were not for Qin Weiming¡¯s group of people who had sacrificed their lives and fought hard, he would not be living a happy life today. Lin Fan did not hesitate and answered the call. ¡°Hello, Elder Qin.¡± ¡°I came to Jiangbei with an old friend,¡± Qin Weiming said after a pause. ¡°He¡¯s not in good health. Can you come over to visit him when you¡¯re free?¡± This was his personality. He did not like to beat about the bush and be polite. Lin Fan was not disgusted by this. On the contrary¡­ he also liked this kind of communication. Old Master Qin Weiming¡¯s good friend was probably an old hero. Thus, Lin Fan replied, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be right there.¡± After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan casually packed two bags of tea leaves and drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class into the distance. Not long after, Lin Fan arrived in front of the manor that he had been to before. Just like that time, there was a sentry at the door. Clearly, they had already received orders. They did not stop Lin Fan¡¯s car and just let it pass. At this moment, Qin Weiming, Yue Zixiao, who had a badge on his shoulder, Hong Hanlin, the head of Jiang Province, and the others were sitting in the courtyard and chatting. Qin Weiming heard the noise and slowly turned around. He laughed heartily and said, ¡°Lin Fan, you came at the right time. We were just talking about you!¡± Instantly, everyone present¡­ turned their gazes to Lin Fan. One had to know¡­ Everyone present was of high status, and their bodies were filled with a dense aura. An ordinary person would probably be so frightened that their legs would tremble and their backs would be drenched in sweat even if they faced the gaze of any one of them. They would not dare to go forward. However, Lin Fan remained calm. ¡°What are you talking about, Elder Qin?¡± he asked with a smile. When everyone saw this, they nodded secretly. ¡°I told him you¡¯re good at chess, but he doesn¡¯t believe me!¡± Qin Weiming said. As he spoke, he pointed at the old man sitting in the wheelchair beside him. Lin Fan could not help but size up the old man. Although the old man was skinny and his skin was wrinkled, his cloudy eyes were like an eagle soaring in the sky. He was very spirited and gave people a feeling of dignity without anger. ¡°My name is Zhang Jian. Little Brother Lin, just now, Elder Qin made you sound so godly¡­ ¡°But I¡¯ve always believed that seeing is believing. Moreover, Elder Qin likes to go around bragging. ¡°So, Little Brother Lin, can you play two rounds with me?¡± Qin Weiming immediately glared at him and said, ¡°Old Zhang, when did I like to brag?¡± Zhang Jian smiled and said, ¡°Why¡­ Are you afraid of being laughed at by exposing yourself in front of so many people? Are you angry from embarrassment?¡± In fact, who dared to laugh at him? Qin Weiming was so anxious that he stomped his feet. ¡°Alright, alright! Lin Fan, hurry up and take him down! Don¡¯t hold back!¡± Lin Fan looked at the chess table beside him and the boiling water. ¡°I¡¯ve brought some good tea over. How about this? I¡¯ll make some tea for everyone first. ¡°Then, we¡¯ll drink tea and play chess. What do you think, Mr. Zhang?¡± The middle-aged man who was standing behind Zhang Jian with the badge on his shoulder took a step forward and opened his mouth to say something. One had to know¡­ Old leaders like Zhang Jian and Qin Weiming could not simply consume anything. Even if it was just tea leaves, it would not work. However, Qin Weiming beat him to it and said, ¡°Alright! Then let¡¯s make tea first!¡± Then, he turned to Zhang Jian and said, ¡°I forgot to mention that Lin Fan¡¯s tea art is also at the master level!¡± ¡°Really?¡± Zhang Jian asked. At this moment, Lin Fan walked over with two large bags of tea leaves. He put the tea leaves into the teapot, then poured a full pot of boiling water. Finally, he poured the tea leaves into cups. Only then did he say, ¡°Elder Qin, Elder Zhang, and everyone else¡­ Please have some tea.¡± Seeing this¡­ Zhang Jian looked at Qin Weiming strangely. That look, it was as if he was saying¡­ ¡®Is this the master-level tea art?¡¯ Qin Weiming¡¯s face turned slightly red as he shouted, ¡°Lin Fan, you didn¡¯t make tea like this last time!¡± After all, he had just bragged about Lin Fan¡¯s tea art. It was simply a slap in the face in the blink of an eye. Lin Fan said, ¡°That was too wasteful last time.¡± Qin Weiming seemed to want to say something, but Zhang Jian smiled and said, ¡°Not bad! Drinking tea like this is simple and wasteful. I think it¡¯s good!¡± As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and poured it into his mouth. Gulp! After drinking the tea, Zhang Jian seemed to have been immobilized. His entire body was completely frozen. At this moment, Zhang Jian seemed to have returned to the era of his strong body and extraordinary years. He no longer needed a wheelchair. He could carry a spear and a machete, run on the ground with all his might, and knock down enemies one after another¡­ Everything was so smooth and relaxing! The middle-aged man who was standing behind Zhang Jian with the badge on his shoulder saw that Zhang Jian was holding the teacup without moving for a long time. His heart suddenly tightened as he asked anxiously, ¡°Old Leader, what¡¯s wrong?¡± This shout finally pulled Zhang Jian back to reality. He sincerely praised, ¡°Good tea!¡± Chapter 283 - 283 Tea Name; Spirit Tea! 283 Tea Name; Spirit Tea! At the same time, Qin Weiming also picked up his cup and poured the tea into his mouth. Instantly, his tiger eyes widened as he shouted, ¡°Good tea!¡± Then, he picked up the teapot, poured another full cup, and brought it to his mouth. ¡°Old Qin, my cup is empty too.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you have hands?¡± Qin Weiming glanced at him.¡± Although he said that, he still poured a cup for her. Then, he said to Hong Hanlin and the others, ¡°Don¡¯t just sit there. Take your own cups and drink! ¡°Why¡­ Do you want me to serve you?¡± When everyone heard this, they hurriedly said, ¡°We¡¯ll do it ourselves¡­¡± As a matter of fact, when they heard Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian¡¯s praises, they were already very interested in the tea. However, due to Qin Weiming¡¯s and Zhang Jian¡¯s identities, they did not dare to make a move. Hearing Qin Weiming¡¯s words, the crowd did not hesitate anymore. They picked up their teacups and poured the tea into their mouths. As soon as the tea entered their throats, a refreshing feeling that they had never felt before immediately surfaced in their hearts. This feeling¡­ It was as if their bodies, throats, and even their stomachs¡­ were all weighed down by mud. However, they were suddenly washed by a clear spring. It was a sense of clarity and relaxation that they had never felt before. Everyone¡¯s faces revealed an intoxicated expression that was difficult to conceal. At this moment, Zhang Jian, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said, ¡°I¡¯ve drunk quite a bit of tea before, but even they are far inferior to this tea¡­ Little Brother Lin, what kind of tea is this?¡± Everyone around pricked up their ears. It was obvious that they were also very concerned about this. If they could drink this tea often, it would definitely be a pleasure. If they gave it to someone else, it would definitely be the best gift! ¡°After drinking this tea, it can make one feel refreshed. It detoxifies and nourishes the skin. It can also help prolong one¡¯s life¡­ It¡¯s very magical. It¡¯s a little like the spiritual liquid in fantasy novels, so I call Spirit Tea.¡± After all, Lin Fan could not say that he got it from a red packet. Of course, even if he did say it, everyone would only think that he was joking. When everyone heard that Lin Fan had used a special method to grow the tea and that the amount was very small, they all revealed a helpless look. Forget about giving the tea as gifts, they might not even be able to drink it a second time. Zhang Jian said, ¡°This tea actually has such magical effects¡­ Spirit Tea? It¡¯s a good name!¡± Although he said that, he did not care much about whether he could maintain his appearance and prolong his life. The key was that the tea was indeed delicious. After a pause, Zhang Jian continued, ¡°My body is getting worse and worse year by year. Maybe I won¡¯t be able to open my eyes again when I close them one day. With these two bags of tea leaves, I think I should be able to hold on for a few more years. ¡°Little Brother Lin, thank you for the tea leaves!¡± Qin Weiming, who was still drinking tea, shouted, ¡°What do you mean by that? ¡°He gave the leaves to all of us!¡± Lin Fan looked at the two old men who were like children fighting over their favorite toys. He could not help but laugh, ¡°Although there aren¡¯t many tea leaves, I can still give some to Elder Qin next time.¡± ¡°Haha!¡± Zhang Jian was overjoyed when he heard this. ¡°Look¡­¡± However, before he could finish speaking, he could not help but cough violently. ¡°Cough, cough, cough!¡± In fact, he even seemed to be out of breath. The expression of the middle-aged man with the badge on his shoulder changed drastically. He hurriedly shouted, ¡°Doctors!¡± Two doctors in white coats ran over quickly and went forward to help. At this moment, Zhang Jian¡¯s coughing suddenly slowed down and disappeared He waved his hand and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need. I¡¯m fine now.¡± ¡°Old Leader, for the sake of your health, it¡¯s better for you to have a physical examination first,¡± said a short and thin doctor. ¡°It¡¯s just a cough. What¡¯s there to make a fuss about?!¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± The two doctors did not dare to say anything. However, the atmosphere at the scene was not as relaxed as before. It became extremely solemn. Everyone was worried about Zhang Jian¡¯s health. At this moment, Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°Indeed, Elder Zhang is just coughing. There¡¯s no need to make a fuss about it. Just drink some water.¡± As he spoke, Lin Fan spent ten million yuan to buy Medical Water from the system and handed it to Zhang Jian. The middle-aged man with the badge on his shoulder frowned slightly and took a step forward, looking like he wanted to say something. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Zhang Jian said casually. ¡°I¡¯ll just drink some water and I¡¯ll be all better.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand to receive the Medical Water and was about to pour it into his mouth. ¡°Old Leader, you can¡¯t!¡± The middle-aged man hurriedly dissuaded him. Then, he said to Lin Fan in a very strict tone, ¡°What kind of water is this?¡± Lin Fan understood that this was the responsibility of the middle-aged man. Dedication to duty was the most basic requirement of a soldier, not to mention that he probably held a higher position. Therefore, Lin Fan was not angry. He opened his mouth and prepared to explain. However, Zhang Jian shouted, ¡°What are you shouting for?! Isn¡¯t it just a small bottle of water?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he poured it into his mouth. Gulp! ¡°Old Leader!¡± The middle-aged man widened his eyes and shouted. Zhang Jian acted as if he did not hear him. He curled his lips and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem to have much taste. It can¡¯t compare to the Spirit Tea just now.¡± Then, he shouted, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve drunk the tea and the water¡­ Let¡¯s play two games of chess now!¡± Lin Fan nodded his head and said, ¡°Alright.¡± Qin Weiming shouted, ¡°Lin Fan, don¡¯t hold back. You have to win him!¡± As he spoke, he even rolled up his sleeves. That appearance¡­ it was as if he was going to fight someone. ¡°You¡¯re a junior, so you can start first,¡± Zhang Jian said. ¡°Then I¡¯ll accept your offer,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Fire the cannon!¡± ¡°Pegasus!¡± The two of them moved the chess pieces quickly. It made a crisp sound when the chess pieces touched the surface of the board. It was like a hurried piece of music. It had to be said that Zhang Jian¡¯s chess skills were indeed not bad. At least¡­ he was the strongest player Lin Fan had played with so far. However, Zhang Jian had encountered¡­ Lin Fan. He had Professional Chess Skills and Absolute Focus. As the game progressed, Zhang Jian¡¯s reaction became slower and slower. However, Lin Fan was getting faster and faster. At this moment, Lin Fan moved the chess piece again and said, ¡°General, dead chess piece!¡± Zhang Jian was slightly stunned. Obviously, he had not thought of this move. Qin Weiming, who was sitting beside him, laughed and said, ¡°Hahaha! Good! Lin Fan played well! As expected, you didn¡¯t disappoint me! I didn¡¯t ask you to come here in vain!¡± Chapter 284 - 284 Stand Up; Toast! 284 Stand Up; Toast! Although Qin Weiming looked like a boorish old man, in fact, he had a clear mind and deep thoughts. Otherwise, he would not have been able to lead his generals to defeat the enemy and obtain the final victory. The reason why Qin Weiming kept praising Lin Fan was not just because Lin Fan was good at chess. The most important reason was to emphasize that Lin Fan was one of them. This was to vouch for Lin Fan. Zhang Jian was just like him. His identity was too unusual. Although Zhang Jian drank the unknown liquid that Lin Fan took out, he was fine for the time being. However, what if something happened later? Would it act up later? If that really happened, Lin Fan would be in a lot of trouble. Even if nothing happened to Zhang Jian, Lin Fan would still be investigated. Qin Weiming was protecting Lin Fan and taking responsibility for him. This required great courage and trust! Lin Fan naturally understood this logic. He could not help but have a better impression of Qin Weiming. He also knew that Zhang Jian would not suffer any harm after drinking Medical Water and that there would only be endless benefits. Zhang Jian also understood the meaning behind Qin Weiming¡¯s words. He snorted and said, ¡°You old geezer, why are you wishing for me to die so quickly? Let me tell you, if it weren¡¯t for my legs, I would have dropped you on the ground right now.¡± As he spoke, he even lifted his legs forcefully. Zhang Jian often did this kind of action. However, there was no reaction from his legs each time. Today, his legs were miraculously raised. Zhang Jian¡¯s pale eyes immediately widened, and his face was filled with disbelief. Just like that, his legs stopped in the air, and his body trembled slightly. The middle-aged man with the badge on his shoulder also noticed this and quickly said to the doctors, ¡°Quickly help the old leader take a look at his legs.¡± The two doctors were stunned for a moment. Then, they quickly went forward and gently massaged Zhang Jian¡¯s legs and took his pulse¡­ Soon, the two doctors were shocked. The middle-aged man asked anxiously, ¡°How¡¯s the old leader¡¯s legs?¡± ¡°There are too few instruments here. We need to conduct a more in-depth examination.¡± The short and thin doctor hesitated. ¡°However, judging from the current situation, the old leader¡¯s legs may have a chance of recovery¡­¡± Zhang Jian, however, directly threw his head back and laughed loudly. ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. There¡¯s no problem with my legs! Hahaha!¡± That was because Zhang Jian could stand up from his wheelchair. This scene stunned everyone present. The eyes of the middle-aged man with the badge on his shoulder turned slightly red. He had always been by Zhang Jian¡¯s side and knew very well how much this once all-powerful general wanted to stand up. He had seen Zhang Jian looking at his own legs and secretly grieving. Zhang Jian had tried to stand up many times but fell to the ground in a sorry state each time. He had seen Zhang Jian lying on the ground and walking with his hands¡­ ¡­ The middle-aged man grew up listening to Zhang Jian¡¯s legend. The person he admired the most was Zhang Jian. It was also because of this that when he saw this hero in such a sorry state, he felt extremely aggrieved. However, there was nothing he could do. Now, Zhang Jian actually stood up! Men did not shed tears easily, but it was only because they had not reached the point of sadness! At this moment, Zhang Jian said in an extremely solemn tone, ¡°Lin Fan, thank you!¡± Everyone was stunned for a moment before they suddenly remembered the bottle of water. Could it be¡­ Was it that small bottle of water that made Zhang Jian stand up? Soon, Qin Weiming confirmed everyone¡¯s thoughts and laughed. ¡°Old Zhang, you don¡¯t know how precious that bottle of water is! Even though Lin Fan is a member of the Dragon Division, he spent quite a bit of effort!¡± Qin Weiming could not help but think of how Lin Fan had used the same solution to bring his grandson back from the gates of hell. Looking at Lin Fan, he could not help but have a look of gratitude. In reality, when Lin Fan took out a small bottle of unknown liquid for Zhang Jian to drink, many people present had shaken their heads secretly. They thought to themselves, ¡®This young man is too rash.¡¯ Some of them even started to distance themselves from Lin Fan to prevent themselves from being caught in an undeserved calamity. At this moment, everyone looked at Lin Fan with surprise and envy. They were surprised that Lin Fan was from the mysterious Dragon Division. They were envious of Lin Fan for helping Zhang Jian stand up. In the future¡­ he would definitely obtain great benefits! Zhang Jian continued to stand for a while before he had no choice but to sit back in the wheelchair. It had been too long since he had moved his legs. If not for Medical Water, it would have been a fool¡¯s dream for him to stand up in this lifetime. Then, Zhang Jian underwent a detailed examination at the request of the two doctors. It was fine if they did not check, but after the examination, everyone was shocked again. This was because Zhang Jian¡¯s necrotic legs had already completely recovered. As long as he did some rehabilitation exercises, he could walk freely like a normal person. His body¡¯s indicators had all returned to normal at this moment! This was simply¡­ It was a miracle, a miracle! ¡­ The sun was setting. The fiery red sun dyed the entire sky with a vibrant color, like a blooming flower. It was incomparably brilliant. On the large table in the courtyard, there were more than 20 dishes of delicious food. Under the request of Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian, Lin Fan sat at the head of the table. ¡°Lin Fan, let me give a toast to you first!¡± Qin Weiming picked up his wine glass and said. ¡°Elder Qin, what are you doing?¡± Zhang Jian immediately shouted. ¡°Of course, I have to be the one to make the first toast! He made me stand up again!¡± As he spoke, he also picked up his wine glass. ¡°He helped you stand up again, but he also saved my grandson¡¯s life!¡± Qin Weiming said. ¡°I must make the first toast!¡± Zhang Jian and Qin Weiming were both the few remaining old leaders. If someone were to receive a toast from them, no, even if they were to drink at the same table as them, they would definitely be overjoyed and brag about it for the rest of their lives. Now, Zhang Jian and Qin Weiming were fighting to give a toast to Lin Fan! Everyone present, including the leaders of Jiang Province and several men with badges on their shoulders, looked at Lin Fan with envy. Chapter 285 - 285 Showing off His Might; Birthday Banquet! 285 Showing off His Might; Birthday Banquet! In the next few days, besides going to school, Lin Fan was often invited by Zhang Jian and Qin Weiming to play chess in the small courtyard. His days were relaxed and leisurely. After a few days of recuperation, Zhang Jian could already stand up easily and walk a few steps at will. His body was getting better and better, and his entire face was flushed. He often laughed non-stop. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated slightly. It was a message from Hu Tian. Hu Tian: [My grandfather is celebrating his birthday. Can I borrow you for two days and have you come to Sha City?] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan replied without hesitation. [Alright, I¡¯ll go pick you up now.] Hu Tian: [No need, I¡¯m already in Sha City¡­] Lin Fan nodded silently. No wonder Teacher Tiantian did not come to class these few days. After Lin Fan and Hu Tian sent a few more messages, he brought a large box of Spirit Tea and placed it in the Mercedes-Benz G-Class before speeding toward the highway. Sha City was located in Hu Province, while Jiangbei City was located in Jiang Province. Although the two cities were located in different provinces, they were only a few hundred kilometers away from each other. It was convenient to drive there. Lin Fan drove following the speed limit and arrived at Sha City in about three hours. Then, he continued to drive according to the location Hu Tian had sent. At this moment, an army-green jeep suddenly appeared in front of him. A muscular man about 1.8 meters tall walked out. He was surrounded by an aura similar to Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian. He was a soldier! The man walked to Lin Fan¡¯s window and said calmly, ¡°You¡¯re Lin Fan?¡± ¡°Yes, and you are?¡± Lin Fan was a little confused. ¡°I¡¯m Hu Tian¡¯s second brother, Hu Shaodong!¡± Hu Shaodong said. Teacher Tiantian¡¯s second brother? Wasn¡¯t this his brother-in-law, then? ¡°Follow me, and don¡¯t get lost!¡± Hu Shaodong frowned. His tone was not good. However, Lin Fan was not angry. After all, he had already won over Hu Tian. If Lin Xiaoyao had a boyfriend and he was unfamiliar with him, he would probably not be nice to him either. After Hu Shaodong finished speaking, he returned to the jeep. Then, he stepped on the accelerator, and the whole car sped forward like a roaring beast. ¡°If you want to enter our family, you have to keep up with my speed!¡± As Hu Shaodong spoke, he looked in the rearview mirror as if he wanted to see how far behind he had left Lin Fan. However, at the next moment¡­ Hu Shaodong was slightly stunned. That was because the Mercedes-Benz that Lin Fan was driving was right behind him. ¡°He seems to be a good driver, but what about now?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Shaodong stepped on the accelerator even harder. Instantly, the jeep sped up again. When he looked at the rearview mirror again, he realized that Lin Fan was still following closely behind him. In fact, the distance between the two was the same as before. There was no change at all! This¡­ How was this possible? Hu Shaodong was completely serious. He began to accelerate¡­ However, Lin Fan¡¯s Mercedes-Benz GG seemed to be one with Hu Shaodong¡¯s Jeep as he followed behind. As Hu Shaodong continued to accelerate, he often looked in the rearview mirror. He did not notice that a car had broken down on the side of the road. Hu Shaodong¡¯s expression changed slightly. In order to avoid the car, he turned the steering wheel hard, causing the Jeep to fall directly into the ditch beside him. The front cover hit a rock, and black smoke rose. Lin Fan¡¯s reaction was very fast. He turned the car around and easily avoided the passing cars. He then stopped beside the Jeep. Hu Shaodong got out of the car in a sorry state. When he saw Lin Fan standing beside him, his face darkened. Originally, he had wanted to use his superb driving skills to leave Lin Fan far behind. Then, he would show Lin Fan that it was not easy to marry his sister. The result? In the end, not only did he fail to shake off Lin Fan, but he even got into a car accident. This was simply¡­ It was too embarrassing! Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to help you tow the car to repair it¡­¡± ¡°No need. Someone will come to deal with it later,¡± Hu Shaodong said. At this moment, the phone in Hu Shaodong¡¯s pocket vibrated slightly. He looked at the message and frowned. He began to pace around. ¡°Take my car,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Let¡¯s go home first.¡± Even though Hu Shaodong did not want to sit in the same car as Lin Fan¡­ After all, it would be surrendering to Lin Fan. However, he thought of the WeChat message just now¡­ ¡°Alright.¡± After Hu Shaodong got into the Mercedes-Benz, he crossed his arms and shut his mouth tightly. Regarding this¡­ Lin Fan was happy to be quiet. About half an hour later, a spacious courtyard appeared in front of them. There were two sentries standing at the entrance of the courtyard. They were strict and solemn, making people afraid to approach them. If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would probably be shocked. Hu Shaodong glanced at Lin Fan as if he wanted to see such a reaction from him too. However, he was destined to be disappointed. Lin Fan¡¯s expression was still very relaxed and calm. It was as if he was returning to his own home. In fact, this was normal to Lin Fan. After all, Lin Fan often went to Qin Weiming¡¯s and Zhang Jian¡¯s residences. The defense there¡­ was several times stricter than here! After the sentry finished checking, Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator and drove inside. At this moment, there were many Audis and military green Jeeps parked in the courtyard at the back. In front of the courtyard, there was a huge longevity peach and many longevity buns. The word ¡®longevity¡¯ could be seen everywhere on a red background. A group of men and women in formal attire were standing together and chatting with each other. At this moment, Hu Tian walked out from inside. Hu Tian was wearing a red lace dress today. Her beautiful face was outlined with light makeup. Her long black hair was tied up high, and she wore a pair of silver high heels. Gentle and generous like a noble princess. Although there were many people between Hu Tian and Lin Fan, they still saw each other at the first moment. Hu Tian walked over with a smile and said, ¡°You¡¯re here?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m here,¡± Lin Fan said. Then, Hu Tian held Lin Fan¡¯s arm generously. At this moment, another army-green Jeep stopped steadily in the courtyard. Then, there was a commotion. ¡°Young Master Huang!¡± ¡°Hello, Young Master Huang!¡± ¡°Young Master Huang, long time no see!¡± Chapter 286 - 286 Fake; Congratulations! 286 Fake; Congratulations! Huang Tian listened to everyone¡¯s greetings and nodded slightly. He then walked forward arrogantly and indifferently. Not only did they not get angry, but they also followed behind Huang Tian like pugs. In the next moment¡­ Huang Tian¡¯s footsteps suddenly stopped. His hawk-like eyes narrowed slightly and locked onto Hu Tian and Lin Fan, who was holding onto her. At this moment, a vigorous voice suddenly sounded from afar. ¡°Thank you, everyone, for coming to my birthday banquet.¡± Then, an old man wearing a Tang suit with gray hair walked into the courtyard. When everyone saw him, they cupped their fists and said, ¡°Hello, Old Master Hu!¡± ¡°Greetings, Old Master Hu!¡± Clearly, this old man was the birthday boy today and Hu Tian¡¯s grandfather, Hu Nanshan! A man in a suit carried a gift box and said, ¡°I wish Old Master Hu good fortune and longevity!¡± Hu Nanshan accepted the gift and smiled. With the first person starting, the people behind also took out their gifts and said their blessings. ¡°I wish Old Master Hu a happy life!¡± ¡°I wish Old Master Hu a long and healthy life.¡± ¡°I wish Old Master Hu a long life, happiness, and health!¡± ¡­ Finally, Huang Tian took a step forward and said, ¡°I wish Old Master Hu good luck and eternal health!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly walked forward with a beautifully packaged box that was about one meter long. The short and skinny man who had been following behind Huang Tian like a pug said in surprise, ¡°What gift is this? It¡¯s actually so long¡­¡± ¡°I know that Old Master Hu likes to study calligraphy and painting,¡± Huang Tian said. ¡°Not long ago, I happened to get an authentic painting by Tang Bohu, ¡®Spring Tree Autumn Frost¡¯. So, I brought it here to give it to Old Master Hu.¡± Tang Bohu! Spring Tree Autumn Frost! It was simply too famous. Therefore, even though everyone in the courtyard was either rich or noble, at this moment, they could not help but exclaim in admiration. ¡°It¡¯s actually that painting!¡± ¡°As expected of Young Master Huang!¡± ¡°What a big deal!¡± ¡­ Just as Huang Tian had said, Hu Nanshan did like to study calligraphy and painting. When he heard that this was Tang Bohu¡¯s Spring Tree Autumn Frost, his turbid eyes could not help but light up. Then, he laughed heartily and said, ¡°Good, good! Hahaha! I¡¯ve admired this painting for a long time. Today, I have to appreciate it properly!¡± As he spoke, he opened the box and slowly unfolded the painting inside. Everyone present raised their heads and looked at the painting with curiosity. Their eyes were filled with admiration. Immediately, someone praised, ¡°Green mountains, flowing springs¡­ As expected of Tang Bohu¡¯s authentic work, this painting is simply too good!¡± ¡°Not bad!¡± ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a beautiful painting!¡± Hu Nanshan looked at the painting in his hands and nodded repeatedly, feeling extremely satisfied. Lin Fan shook his head slightly, revealing a look of disdain. This was normal¡­ That was because Lin Fan remembered very clearly that the real Spring Tree Autumn Frost was lying in his Coiling Dragon Villa. If he had known that Teacher Tiantian¡¯s grandfather liked calligraphy and paintings, he would have brought it along. One had to know that Lin Fan had obtained Spring Tree Autumn Frost from a red packet. There was no way it was fake. In that case, the painting in front of him was clearly fake. Furthermore, Lin Fan still had the Eyes of True Sight. Huang Tian saw Lin Fan¡¯s actions and expressions. Contempt? Was he looking down on the painting that he had given the old master? Huang Tian was already filled with hostility toward Lin Fan. At this moment, he finally exploded. ¡°What do you mean by shaking your head like this?¡± Huang Tian said coldly. Instantly, everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Lin Fan. When they saw Lin Fan and Hu Tian holding hands, they immediately understood something. Facing so many gazes, Lin Fan¡¯s expression was calm as he said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it normal to shake your head when a counterfeit item is being gifted?¡± Everyone immediately started discussing. ¡°Counterfeit?¡± ¡°Is he talking about Spring Tree Autumn Frost?¡± ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be¡­ It can¡¯t be.¡± ¡­ Huang Tian¡¯s face sank as he shouted, ¡°This is not a place for you to spout nonsense!¡± ¡°My greatest strength is telling the truth,¡± Lin Fan said. Following that, he used the Eyes of True Sight on the painting and carefully examined it. Instantly, Lin Fan could clearly see how this painting was copied, made old, and marked five years ago. Lin Fan said, ¡°Look carefully at the bottom left corner of this painting. Is there a small letter A?¡± Everyone¡­ Even Hu Nanshan could not help but follow Lin Fan¡¯s words and look at the bottom left corner. Soon, someone shouted, ¡°There really is an A on the paper!¡± ¡°Yes, I think I see it!¡± One had to know¡­ Tang Bohu was a talented scholar in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, there were no English letters at all. The authenticity of this painting was immediately clear. Huang Tian¡¯s face instantly turned extremely ugly. He had always thought that this was a real painting. Otherwise, he would not have given it to Hu Nanshan as a birthday gift. Huang Tian took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down before saying, ¡°Old Master Hu, I didn¡¯t investigate this matter properly. I¡¯m sorry, I actually brought a fake¡­I¡¯ll give you another birthday gift later.¡± Hu Nanshan waved his hand and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to apologize. You were also deceived by others. In addition, I like this painting very much. As for¡­ It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s the authentic work of Tang Bohu. or not¡± Then, he slowly put the painting back into the gift box. Although he said that, his attitude toward this painting was clearly not as enthusiastic as before. The short and thin man who had been following behind Huang Tian rolled his eyes and said, ¡°You¡¯re my cousin¡¯s friend, right? I wonder what gift you brought for the old master today?¡± He had already made preparations. Everything would be fine as long as Lin Fan¡¯s gift was a little lacking. Then, he would attack crazily to please Huang Tian. Lin Fan did not say much. He opened the Mercedes-Benz and took out a large box of tea leaves from the trunk. ¡°I wish Old Master Hu good fortune, good health, and a long life!¡± Seeing this¡­ The short and thin man could not help but laugh out loud. ¡°Tea leaves? What a big box! Moreover, there¡¯s no packaging. Could it be that this tea was bought in bulk from a stall?¡± ¡°Cousin Hu Tian, this friend of yours¡­ How generous! Haha!¡± Chapter 287 - 287 Lousy Tea Leaves? 287 Lousy Tea Leaves? Seeing this¡­ Many people present began to discuss in low voices. Although Hu Nanshan was not a greedy person, at this moment, he could not help but frown. From the actions of his granddaughter, Hu Tian, Lin Fan should be the boyfriend she was talking about. Hu Tian¡¯s boyfriend, his future grandson-in-law¡­ bought a box of tea leaves from a roadside stall as a birthday gift to him? Was he not taking him too lightly? With so many guests present, was it not laughable? At this moment, an Audi A6 drove over from afar and stopped steadily in front of the courtyard. Then, a middle-aged man with slightly white hair who looked to be about 50 years old walked over with his head held high. When everyone saw him, they immediately revealed a hint of admiration and exclaimed. ¡°Commander Liu!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Commander Liu is here!¡± ¡­ Hu Nanshan frowned slightly and went up to Liu Qiming personally. Liu Qiming quickened his pace and handed over a gift. ¡°I wish Old Master Hu good fortune and longevity! ¡°This is the gift my father chose for you. Originally, he wanted to come personally to congratulate you on your birthday, but it¡¯s a little inconvenient with his body. He could only let me do it on his behalf. I hope you won¡¯t blame him.¡± ¡°Why would I blame him?¡± Hu Nanshan¡¯s face was flushed. ¡°Elder Liu¡¯s health is more important. If he really did come, I¡¯m afraid there¡¯d be no peace at my birthday banquet.¡± If the surviving elders of Hua Nation were to be arranged in a seating order, Elder Liu might not even be able to sit in the first row. However, he would definitely have a seat in the second row. It was definitely a rare thing for Elder Liu to personally choose a birthday gift and ask Liu Qiming to visit him. Hu Nanshan and Liu Qiming chatted as they walked, occasionally letting out peals of hearty laughter. When Liu Qiming passed by Lin Fan, he stopped in his tracks, and his face was filled with shock. He was all too familiar with Lin Fan. However, the leader suddenly received a phone call saying that Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian had arrived in Jiangbei City. Therefore, the leader brought him to meet the two old men. Liu Qiming remembered clearly how Qin Weiming praised Lin Fan before he arrived. At that time, he was extremely curious about Lin Fan. When Lin Fan made Old Master Zhang Jian drink a bottle of the solution and made him stand up, Liu Qiming was deeply impressed by Old Master Zhang Jian¡¯s happy expression. Liu Qiming also knew that Lin Fan was a member of the Dragon Division and that he had saved the life of Qin Weiming¡¯s grandson. At the same time, he was the benefactor of Old Master Qin Weiming and Old Master Zhang Jian¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s future was definitely limitless. Liu Qiming had always wanted to befriend Lin Fan, but he did not have the chance. He did not expect to meet him here. Hu Nanshan did not notice the change in Liu Qiming¡¯s expression. He said to him, ¡°There¡¯s still some time before the banquet. Let¡¯s sit down and have some tea first.¡± Speaking of tea, Liu Qiming could not help but think of the Spirit Tea that Lin Fan had given Old Master Qin Weiming and Old Master Zhang Jian. Just thinking about the taste of Spirit Tea, he seemed to have smelled that unique fragrance. His entire person could not help but feel much more comfortable. ¡°Shaodong, go and get the Da Hong Pao tea and the purple clay teapot from my room,¡± continued Hu Nanshan. ¡°Okay, Grandpa,¡± Hu Shaodong said. The short and thin man standing at the side took the opportunity to shout, ¡°Why is this box of trash tea still here? It¡¯s an eyesore. Throw it aside quickly.¡± As the short man spoke, Liu Qiming finally noticed the large box of green tea leaves in front of Lin Fan. Seeing this¡­ Liu Qiming¡¯s pupils constricted. Spirit Tea! That was right! After drinking it, his entire body¡­ No! His entire soul was cleansed! No wonder he seemed to have smelled the fragrance of Spirit Tea just now! It was not an illusion! Old Master Qin Weiming and Old Master Zhang Jian became like two children, constantly quarreling over the two small bags of Spirit Tea¡­ Here¡­ there was a whole box! This¡­ This¡­ If Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian were here, what would their expressions be? At this moment, Liu Qiming suddenly noticed the short and thin man. He was about to kick the Spirit Tea aside like a piece of trash. Kicking the Spirit Tea? He wanted to kick the Spirit Tea that Old Master Qin and Old Master Zhang Jian treated as a treasure? ¡°What are you doing?!¡± Liu Qiming shouted. On the one hand, Liu Qiming did have a strong family background. However, the most important reason was that he had excellent personal ability. He was strict and iron-blooded! He alone could suppress hundreds of warriors, making them fear him. Now, Liu Qiming was shouting at the short and thin man. One could imagine how powerful he was. At this moment¡­ The short and thin man seemed to have shrunk into an ant. Meanwhile, Liu Qiming turned into a roaring lion. The lion king roared, making everyone tremble. The short and thin man felt his entire body go limp as cold sweat rolled down his back. He stammered, ¡°I¡­ I¡­ I¡­ It¡¯s not a big deal to throw lousy tea leaves¡­¡± He stammered for a long time before finally speaking. It was fine if he did not say anything. After he said it, it angered Liu Qiming again. ¡°Hmph!¡± A muffled groan sounded out. It was extremely vicious, causing the short and skinny man to feel a chill down his spine. At this moment, another army green Jeep sped over. Then, Yue Zixiao strode over. When Lin Fan caught sight of him, his face revealed a look of surprise. That was because Yue Zixiao had always been by Qin Weiming¡¯s side. In Lin Fan¡¯s impression, Yue Zixiao seemed to only leave Qin Weiming¡¯s side when he drove him home. He did not expect him to come to Sha City. ¡­ When the crowd saw Yue Zixiao, there was another round of discussion. ¡­ In contrast to the doubts of many people, Hu Nanshan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He quickly went up to him. Yue Zixiao was also a commander! More importantly, he was the head guard of Qin Weiming. Old Master Qin Weiming could sit in the first row. To a certain extent, Yue Zixiao could represent Old Master Qin Weiming. How could Hu Nanshan not be excited? Yue Zixiao¡¯s words surprised Hu Nanshan even more. ¡°Old Leader Qin Weiming and Old Leader Zhang Jian asked me to wish Old Master Hu a happy birthday and good health!¡± Not only Old Master Qin Weiming, but even Old Master Zhang Jian wanted to congratulate him?! When Hu Nanshan heard Yue Zixiao¡¯s words, he was so happy that his face turned red, and his breathing became rapid. Chapter 288 - 288 Remove Your Stinky Foot; Why Did You Throw It Away?! 288 Remove Your Stinky Foot; Why Did You Throw It Away?! In fact, Hu Nanshan was not the only one who was excited. The entire scene was in an uproar. Most of the people present had red bloodlines. It was because of this that everyone understood the weight of Qin Weiming¡¯s and Zhang Jian¡¯s names. It could be said that Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian were the two pillars of Hua Nation. Now, they actually personally sent someone to congratulate Old Master Hu. What kind of honor was this? Some people were speculating in their hearts. Could it be that the Hu family had gotten in touch with these two old men? If it was really like this, the Hu family was probably going to soar into the sky. However, no one knew that Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian had asked Yue Zixiao to come to congratulate Old Master Hu on his birthday because of a phone call with Lin Fan not long ago. Originally, Qin Weiming wanted Lin Fan to play chess with him in the courtyard. However, Lin Fan said that he had to go to Sha City because his girlfriend¡¯s grandfather was celebrating his 80th birthday. Whether it was the Medical Water that Lin Fan brought out or the Spirit Tea that he gave them¡­ He was worth getting closer to. Additionally, Lin Fan saved the life of Qin Weiming¡¯s grandson and helped Zhang Jian stand up. They had to be friends. Therefore, Zhang Jian and Qin Weiming decided to congratulate Lin Fan¡¯s girlfriend¡¯s grandfather. However, with their status, it was absolutely impossible for them to suddenly go to Sha City. Their safety was not guaranteed. The last time when Qin Weiming went to Qing City to celebrate Lin Fan¡¯s grandfather¡¯s birthday, he had prepared it for a long time. Then, with the company of the leaders of Jiang Province, Jiangbei City, and Qing City, he finally had a chance. It was not that they were afraid of death. What a joke that would be¡­ Back then, when they were bombarded with bullets and cannons, they never frowned even once. It was because of the rules. What they represented was not just their own lives. ¡­ Hu Nanshan naturally did not know about this. After he heard Yue Zixiao¡¯s words, he was so excited that he could not help but tremble. ¡°Please thank the old leaders for me!¡± Then, he quickly asked, ¡°Are the two old leaders well?¡± Yue Zixiao nodded, ¡°Everything is fine.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good!¡± Hu Nanshan said happily. Following that, Yue Zixiao took out two scrolls of calligraphy and said, ¡°These are the congratulatory gifts from Old Leader Qin Weiming and Old Leader Zhang Jian.¡± The calligraphy from Old Master Qin Weiming and Old Master Zhang Jian! What kind of honor was this? Even if the painting that Huang Tian had given him was authentic, it was far from comparable to these two scrolls. Hu Nanshan¡¯s cloudy eyes blurred with excitement. ¡°Please¡­ Please thank the old leaders!¡± Then, he carefully accepted the scrolls. At this moment, Yue Zixiao saw Lin Fan and Liu Qiming standing not far away and walked over. As soon as he got close, a special fragrance floated into Yue Zixiao¡¯s nose and mouth. Yue Zixiao often asked about this fragrance these days, the fragrance of Spirit Tea! Soon, his gaze landed on the huge box of Spirit Tea in front of Lin Fan, as well as the foot that was about to kick the box over. Yue Zixiao was very clear about how precious Spirit Tea was to Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian. They even wanted to hug the Spirit Tea when they slept. Now¡­ It was actually going to be kicked over like trash? Yue Zixiao shouted, ¡°Remove your stinky foot!¡± If Liu Qiming was like a roaring lion, Yue Zixiao was like a soaring dragon. The short and thin man was so frightened that he fell to the ground. The box of Spirit Tea was finally safe. Seeing this¡­ Yue Zixiao grunted. Then, he turned his attention back to Lin Fan and nodded his head gently. Although the two of them did not speak, this slight nod showed that they knew each other. Hu Nanshan was slightly shocked. Lin Fan¡­ Was he not just a student? How did he know Yue Zixiao? It seemed like¡­ he was not as simple as he thought. At this moment, Hu Shaodong brought the purple clay teapot and Da Hong Pao over. ¡°General Yue, General Liu, please sit down and have some tea.¡± Hu Nanshan cleared his throat.¡± Liu Qiming and Yue Zixiao¡­ Both of them had taken such a fancy to the tea leaves that Lin Fan had given him. Out of curiosity, Hu Nanshan did not use Da Hong Pao to make tea. Instead, he used the loose tea leaves in the box. First, he quietly looked at the loose tea leaves, but he did not find anything special. With a trace of doubt, he casually grabbed a handful of tea leaves and placed them into the purple clay teapot before pouring in an appropriate amount of boiling water. Then, he habitually poured the boiling water that was mixed with tea leaves into the trash can beside him. ¡°Why did you throw it away?!¡± Almost at the same time, Liu Qiming and Yue Zixiao shouted in unison. Liu Qiming knew how delicious Spirit Tea was. Yue Zixiao knew that even Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian cherished every drop of tea, especially the first cup. Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian named the first cup ¡®First Tea¡¯. In fact, they often fought over the first cup of tea! Hu Nanshan naturally did not know about this. He was at a loss and said, ¡°I¡­ I¡­ I¡¯m just washing the tea.¡± He recalled his actions and steps again. There did not seem to be any problems. Was it not normal to wash the tea before drinking it? Liu Qiming and Yue Zixiao shook their heads slightly and did not say anything. Now that the first cup of tea had been poured into the trash can, they could not take it out of the trash can, right? Hu Nanshan poured the boiling water into the teapot again. After a while, he poured the tea. ¡°General Liu, General Yue, please.¡± The two of them did not stand on ceremony, or rather, they could not wait any longer. After drinking the Spirit Tea, Yue Zixiao¡¯s and Liu Qiming¡¯s faces revealed an expression of enjoyment that was difficult to hide. Seeing this¡­ Hu Nanshan could not help but pour the tea into his mouth curiously. Whoosh! Hu Nanshan was 80 years old. His body was like a rusty machine that could not function normally. After drinking the tea, the rust on his body seemed to have disappeared completely. His entire body glowed with a brilliant light as if he had come back to life and was extremely relaxed. He had never tasted such delicious tea leaves before! However, before Hu Nanshan could praise it, Yue Zixiao, who was next to him, spoke first. ¡°This is my first time drinking the second cup of this tea. The taste is indeed amazing!¡± Then, Yue Zixiao looked at the large box of spirit tea beside him and turned to Lin Fan. ¡°When the two old leaders learned that your girlfriend¡¯s grandfather was celebrating his birthday, they wanted to come over personally to congratulate him. ¡°However, there was no time to arrange it, so I came to congratulate him on their behalf. ¡°Luckily, they didn¡¯t come. If they did, I wonder how jealous they¡¯d be after seeing such a big box of Spirit Tea.¡± The moment he said that, everyone fell silent! Chapter 289 - 289 Different Thoughts; Lin Fans Identities! 289 Different Thoughts; Lin Fan¡¯s Identities! The two old leaders were Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian. Who were Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian? They were the top pillars of existence! What did everyone hear? These two huge pillars actually sent their regards because of Lin Fan. This young man, who looked to be in his 20s, got the two powerhouses to congratulate his girlfriend¡¯s grandfather on his birthday! This young man¡­ He actually had such a great reputation? Who exactly was he? Initially, Hu Nanshan wanted to praise the tea, but at this moment, the words seemed to be stuck in his throat. His brain completely shut down. For a moment, he even forgot what the taste of the tea leaves he had just drunk was. Hu Nanshan had just thought that his granddaughter¡¯s boyfriend was not simple. Looking at it now, he was very not simple! When Hu Nanshan found out that his granddaughter had a boyfriend and that he was just an ordinary university student, he was shocked. Hu Nanshan¡¯s first reaction was that he was not suitable for her. He should think of a way to make his granddaughter give up on Lin Fan. At this moment, Hu Nanshan had thrown this thought far to the back of his mind. In its place¡­ He was wondering when his granddaughter could marry Lin Fan and when they could have children. Hu Shaodong, who was standing beside him, was also stunned. What did he hear? Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian, the great pillars of the country, wanted to personally come to congratulate his grandfather on his birthday because of Lin Fan! He had actually wanted to give him a show of strength just now¡­ This¡­ This¡­ Hu Tian¡¯s face revealed a look of surprise. However, she did not expect Lin Fan to have such a deep relationship with Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian. Perhaps Liu Qiming was the only one who looked more natural. After all, he had long known that Lin Fan saved Qin Weiming¡¯s grandson¡¯s life and even helped Zhang Jian stand up. Now, Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian wanted to congratulate Lin Fan¡¯s girlfriend¡¯s grandfather on his birthday. It was reasonable, right? ¡­ After Lin Fan heard Yue Zixiao¡¯s words, he could not help but rub his nose and smile. ¡°Old Master Qin and Old Master Zhang don¡¯t have to be jealous. In the future, they¡¯ll have enough Spirit Tea.¡± Lin Fan had always been a person who repaid kindness with kindness. Since Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian gave him face, and Lin Fan had a good impression of the two old men¡­ Naturally, Lin Fan would not be stingy. Yue Zixiao said seriously, ¡°If the two old leaders heard your words, they would definitely be very happy!¡± Then, Lin Fan raised his head and looked around. When the short and skinny man who had just gotten up noticed Lin Fan looking at him, he collapsed onto the ground again. What kind of stupid thing did he just do?! Even Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian had to respect this young man, yet he was mocking him just now. The short and skinny man understood that he was¡­ done for! ¡­ As for Huang Tian, who was the center of attention earlier¡­ When he noticed Lin Fan¡¯s gaze on him, his forehead and back could not help but break out in a layer of sweat. His heart was filled with regret. Why did he want to compete with Lin Fan for Hu Tian? Why did he show hostility toward Lin Fan and even berate him? At this moment, someone walked over and said to Hu Nanshan, ¡°Old Master, the birthday banquet is ready.¡± Hu Nanshan nodded slightly. Then, his gaze fell on the Spirit Tea in the big box. At this moment, he no longer had the disgust he had when he saw the large box of loose tea leaves. Now, he looked like a treasure hunter who had finally found treasure. His turbid eyes faintly lit up. Hu Nanshan seriously said, ¡°Shaodong, you put this box of good tea in my room. No one is allowed to casually touch it.¡± Even Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian would be jealous when they saw this box of tea leaves. One could imagine how precious it was! When Hu Nanshan noticed Liu Qiming and Yue Zixiao staring at the tea leaves in the box, he could not help but continue, ¡°In addition, get two bags later and give some to General Liu and General Yue.¡± When Liu Qiming and Yue Zixiao heard this, their faces revealed a smile that was difficult to hide. ¡­ Today¡¯s birthday banquet was not held in a hotel. Instead, it was held in an empty square in the courtyard. At this moment, the square was already filled with tables. According to seniority, Lin Fan and Hu Tian should be sitting three tables behind. However, they were asked to sit at the first table. They were even asked to sit next to the birthday boy, Hu Nanshan. The birthday boy was the main character today, so he should be the focus. However, today, more people had their attention on Lin Fan. Hu Nanshan also felt this, but he was not angry. On the contrary, he was even happier. The banquet lasted for a full three hours before it slowly came to an end. ¡­ The sky gradually darkened. Hu Tian and Lin Fan strolled leisurely in the green courtyard. At this moment, Hu Tian suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at Lin Fan with a smile. Lin Fan asked, ¡°Is there something dirty on my face?¡± ¡°No.¡± Hu Tian shook her head. ¡°Then what are you looking at?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°I¡¯m trying to see how many other shocking identities you have,¡± Hu Tian said. ¡°There are many possibilities. A professional racer, a professional pianist, a calligraphy expert, the richest man in the world¡­¡± Lin Fan said. Hu Tian nodded in understanding. ¡°You believe me?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Since you said it, it must be true!¡± Hu Tian said.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°But these identities aren¡¯t the most important.¡± Hu Tian blinked her eyelashes and looked at Lin Fan curiously. Lin Fan smiled, ¡°My most important identity is your boyfriend.¡± When Hu Tian heard this, her pretty face blushed slightly. She was a mathematics professor at Jiangbei University and Lin Fan¡¯s teacher. However, at this moment, she felt like a little girl who had just eaten candy. Her mouth and heart were filled with sweetness. Moonlight shone on Hu Tianlong¡¯s body, making her glow. The two of them looked at each other affectionately and slowly approached each other. Finally, they could not help but embrace each other. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ? (¡¥¦ê¡¥?) ¡­ Chapter 290 - 290 Apologize; How To Woo A Woman! 290 Apologize; How To Woo A Woman! The next day, Lin Fan had a sumptuous breakfast with the Hu Family. He was extremely satisfied. At this moment, a series of dull footsteps came from not far away. Then, a middle-aged man walked over with Huang Tian in tow. When he saw Lin Fan, he quickened his pace. Then, the middle-aged man saluted Lin Fan and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m Huang Tian¡¯s father, Huang Jie. Yesterday, my son was ignorant and offended you¡­ Today, I brought him here to apologize to you.¡± After saying that, he turned to Huang Tian and shouted, ¡°What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Lin!¡± Huang Tian hurriedly took a step forward and bowed slightly. ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry. It was my fault yesterday¡­¡± ¡°Damn it! Is this how you apologize? Bastard!¡± Huang Jie shouted angrily. As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked Huang Tian¡¯s butt, causing him to fall to the ground. When his nose collided with the cement floor, a stream of blood immediately gushed out. He was in an extremely miserable state. Huang Jie did not hold back at all and kicked him rather angrily. Last night, when Huang Jie found out about what happened at the birthday banquet, he hurriedly asked someone about Lin Fan. Only then did he know that Lin Fan had saved Qin Weiming¡¯s grandson and helped Zhang Jian stand up. One had to know¡­ Zhang Jian was Huang Jie¡¯s previous leader, and he had given Huang Jie a new lease on life. Without Zhang Jian, there would be no Huang Jie today. Huang Jie had always wanted to repay Zhang Jian, but in the end? In the end, his son actually offended Zhang Jian¡¯s benefactor. How could this not anger Huang Jie? Huang Tian was in pain, but he did not dare to resist. He could only kneel on the ground like a stray dog and kowtow. ¡°M-Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m so sorry¡­¡± Lin Fan glanced at him and said calmly, ¡°I hope there won¡¯t be a next time.¡± Lin Fan and Hu Tian did not stay in Sha City for long. After lunch, they returned to Jiangbei University. A life that was unchanging would make Lin Fan feel bored. He would sometimes lie down in the villa to rest, drive around, and go to school to experience the leisurely student life¡­ Only then would it be interesting. ¡°F*ck, he¡¯s hitting me!¡± ¡°Quick, save me!¡± ¡°How did he release his skill?!¡± Song Yi and Zheng Jinbao held their phones and shouted. When the screen showed the word ¡®defeat¡¯, Song Yi cursed, ¡°F*ck! Luban is such trash. He even tried to snatch the shooter from me. Damn it, I have to report him!¡± Zheng Jinbao said, ¡°Angela is even worse. She has never controlled anyone before. And her big¡­ Damn, I have to report her!¡± The two of them shouted as they tapped on the screen. It seemed like¡­ this was the only way to vent the anger in their hearts. When Song Yi raised his head, he realized that Lin Fan had walked in. He could not help but be shocked, ¡°Huh, Brother Lin Fan, why did you come back?¡± ¡°Probably when you guys first started the game,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, do you want to play a round?¡± Song Yi asked. ¡°King?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Maybe next time. I haven¡¯t downloaded it yet.¡± At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside the corridor. Soon, Ma Zhong entered the dormitory. ¡°Ma Zhong is back too?¡± Zheng Jinbao asked. ¡°We haven¡¯t had a meal together for a long time¡­ How about eating out today?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go to the Crab Treasure on East Street,¡± Song Yi immediately shouted. ¡°I heard that the crab pot and barbecue there are all superb!¡± No one had any objections to this. East Street was about five to six kilometers away from Jiangbei University. Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz and arrived at the destination in just ten minutes. As soon as they reached the entrance of Crab Treasure, they were greeted by a fragrant aroma that made them want to drool. Upon walking into the shop, they looked around and saw a crowd. There was laughter and discussion, very lively. Lin Fan, Song Yi, and the others found a table and quickly sat down. They ordered the signature crab pot, various skewers, and a crate of beer. This restaurant was indeed famous as it had attracted many people. The crab meat was plump, the skewers were spicy, and the taste was very delicious. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, how exactly do you woo a woman?¡± Ma Zhong drank a bottle of beer and asked hesitantly. Lin Fan asked, ¡°So you have a target?¡± Ma Zhong stammered, ¡°No¡­ No, I¡¯m just curious¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re asking the wrong person.¡± Zheng Jinbao laughed. ¡°As long as he drives the Ferrari out, countless women will chase after him.¡± Lin Fan shook his head helplessly. ¡°Nonsense!¡± Song Yi followed up. ¡°I feel that Brother Lin Fan is really sincere!¡± Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°It¡¯s good that Song Yi understands me.¡± ¡°For example, if a woman wants to eat ice cream, Brother Lin Fan will go and buy it immediately. However, in order to prevent the ice cream from melting, Brother Lin Fan will drive the Lamborghini to get to the woman as fast as he can and let her eat the ice cream. ¡°Thus, the woman will definitely be very touched and fall in love with Brother Lin Fan.¡± Lin Fan¡¯s mouth twitched. This guy had a lot of tricks up his sleeve. The dinner party lasted until 9:30 PM before they returned to the dormitory. Lin Fan looked at Zheng Jinbao, Song Yi, and Ma Zhong hugging each other as they were already drunk. Sometimes, they would shout and sway. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. This was the life of a student. There were no schemes or conspiracies. Everyone¡­ was so relaxed and happy. ¡­ At this moment, many people were carrying big bags and pushing suitcases to Jiangbei Airport with smiles on their faces. However, a look of surprise quickly appeared on their faces. That was because a large group of foreigners with a different skin color had arrived at Jiangbei Airport today. They were all wearing thick glasses, white shirts, and pocket watches¡­ They looked very refined and knowledgeable. At this moment, Professor Adivan and Professor Jeffrey walked out of the room with tired looks on their faces. ¡°We¡¯ve finally landed,¡± Adivan sighed. ¡°I feel like I¡¯m about to meet God. ¡°I hope this mathematics report doesn¡¯t disappoint me.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it won¡¯t let you down. You have to know¡­¡± Jeffrey said. ¡°Lin Fan is the man who solved the Twin Prime Number Conjecture at a report and created history! ¡°We only need to think about whether he will bring us any surprises this time!¡± Jeffrey¡¯s eyes lit up as he spoke. Adivan did not say much about this. To solve a difficult math problem, one not only needed strength but also inspiration. Lin Fan was able to solve the Twin Prime Number Conjecture during the report. This was because of his ability and also because of a coincidence. Adivan did not believe that this would happen again. Chapter 291 - 291 Smells Good; Interested! 291 Smells Good; Interested! When Adivan walked out of the airport, he looked at the tall buildings and wide roads in the distance and muttered, ¡°Hua Nation¡­ seems different from the movies and news.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not just different!¡± Jeffrey said. ¡°This is only Jiangbei, a first-tier city in Hua Nation, but I think it¡¯s not much different from Seattle. ¡°Especially the food here. It¡¯s definitely better than anywhere else in America.¡± Speaking of food, Jeffrey could not help but gulp. He said excitedly, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to eat the local delicacies!¡± Adivan waved his hand. ¡°No thanks. I¡¯ve been on the plane for the whole day. I¡¯m a little dizzy. I can¡¯t eat any food right now. ¡°I just want to go to the hotel as soon as possible and have a good rest.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a gourmet restaurant near the hotel,¡± Jeffrey said while pulling him. ¡°Just keep me company.¡± After a while, they arrived at a restaurant serving local delicacies. Looking at the colorful dishes and smelling the alluring fragrance in the air, Adivan finally could not help but scoop a spoonful of food into his mouth. Instantly, his eyes lit up. Then, Adivan¡¯s entire head was buried in the bowl, and his mouth was full of grease. Jeffrey looked at the food in his bowl and said, ¡°Adivan, didn¡¯t you say you wouldn¡¯t eat?¡± Adivan said, ¡°It tastes so good.¡± ¡­ There were many foreigners like Jeffrey and Adivan. They were all here for Lin Fan¡¯s Hail Conjecture Report. In order to welcome their arrival, the campus of Jiangbei University was redecorated with greenery and flowers. Some of the old buildings had also been repainted to make them look brand new. This was not because they thought too highly of foreigners. Instead, it was to better showcase Jiangbei University¡¯s reputation and promote Jiangbei University to the world through the great scholars and professors who came to attend the report. It was also to reduce the smearing of Hua Nation by some Western media. Lin Fan walked along the winding path of the campus. As a breeze blew past, he could not help but smell an elegant fragrance. Lin Fan slowly turned around and realized that Hu Tian had walked to his side. ¡°Dean Hu Chuan asked me to look for you. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you in the blink of an eye.¡± Hu Tian smiled. Lin Fan was puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Hu Tian smiled and said, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s because of tomorrow¡¯s report. He asked me to remind you that it will officially start at 9 AM tomorrow.¡± No wonder Hu Chuan was so nervous. After all, Lin Fan had a precedent. Lin Fan was half an hour late for the report last time. He almost made a fool of himself. For this report, regardless of the scale or the number of people¡­ it was bigger and higher than the last time. Hu Chuan did not dare to have any more accidents. Lin Fan said, ¡°So it¡¯s about this. I¡¯m already aware.¡± At this moment, many of the documents that Hu Tian was holding in her arms fell to the ground. Lin Fan bent down to pick them up and realized that they were filled with complicated mathematical calculations. Lin Fan asked casually, ¡°Are you researching something?¡± ¡°Hodge Conjecture. Are you interested in studying it?¡±Hu Tian asked. After saying this, Hu Tian¡¯s beautiful eyes flickered faintly. That appearance¡­ She seemed to believe that as long as Lin Fan said he was interested in it, the Hodge Conjecture would be solved very quickly. In Hu Tian¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan had become an omnipotent person. It was no wonder that she had such thoughts. Lin Fan was simply too extraordinary. First, he solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, then he solved the Twin Prime Number Conjecture. Then, it was the Hail Conjecture. Not long ago, Hu Tian suddenly realized that Lin Fan had a deep relationship with Zhang Jian and Qin Weiming. Gradually¡­ In Hu Tian¡¯s heart, Lin Fan¡¯s figure seemed to be 10,000 feet tall. He emitted a dazzling light and had omnipotent power. Lin Fan looked at Hu Tian¡¯s expectant gaze and could not help but rub his nose. He was about to say that he was not interested. However, in his mind¡­ Suddenly, a crisp notification sounded. [Ding! You¡¯ve triggered a mission¡ªsolve Hodge Conjecture. Reward: Five golden packets.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s words were stuck in his throat, and he could not say anything. Then, he said, ¡°Yes¡­ I¡¯m interested.¡± After all, these were five golden packets. He definitely could not miss out on them! When Hu Tian heard this, her beautiful eyes immediately lit up. Then, Hu Tian brought Lin Fan to her office to carefully study the Hodge Conjecture. It had to be said that the Hodge Conjecture was indeed one of the most difficult problems of the millennium. Even though Lin Fan had Professor-Level Mathematics Experience and Absolute Focus¡­ It was impossible to solve it in a short period of time. As the sky gradually darkened, there was not much progress in solving the Hodge Conjecture. In order to do more in-depth research, Hu Tian brought Lin Fan to her house. Perhaps it was because the discussion was too fascinating and exciting, Lin Fan and Hu Tian did not sleep the entire night. The entire building shook the entire night. ¡­ The next day, the sky was clear. The fiery red sun rose slowly, setting off the colorful flowers placed at the entrance of Jiangbei University. It formed a beautiful scene of heaven and earth. Bright banners were hung on the campus of Jiangbei University. [A warm welcome to all scholars and professors attending Lin Fan¡¯s Hail Conjecture Report!] [Welcome to Jiangbei University!] As soon as the foreign mathematics professors and experts arrived at Jiangbei University, they were invited into the auditorium by the teachers and volunteers who were already waiting at the entrance. Adivan looked at the surging crowd in the auditorium and sighed. ¡°Many old friends have come.¡± ¡°Yes, after all, everyone wants to witness history,¡± Jeffries said. Adivan shook his head and did not continue. It was because he had never thought of witnessing history here. The only thing he wanted to do was to personally see Lin Fan, this mathematics genius, and how he would explain the Hail Conjecture. ¡­ At this moment, Hu Chuan, the dean of the mathematics department of Jiangbei University, was also sighing. He had never thought that the mathematics department of Jiangbei University, which he was in charge of, would hold a world-class report. Moreover, it was held twice in a very short period of time. The associate director looked at his watch several times and said worriedly, ¡°Lin Fan isn¡¯t here yet. Is he going to be late again?¡± Hu Chuan¡¯s heart tightened slightly as he said, ¡°It should be¡­ It can¡¯t be.¡± Chapter 292 - 292 Report; Anticipation! Just as Hu Chuan was worried, muffled footsteps came from outside. Groups of old professors wearing thick glasses chatted as they moved forward and quickly found their own positions. Professor Barnington, who was sitting at the front, looked at the crowd in the auditorium and sighed. ¡°There seem to be more people than last time.¡± Professor Lancelot said, ¡°After all, there are more people interested in the Hail Conjecture than Zhou¡¯s Conjecture.¡± Professor Lancelot paused and said, ¡°Do you think his solution to the conjecture is correct?¡± ¡°At least, I didn¡¯t find any obvious problems,¡± Barnington said. ¡°Of course, we¡¯ll have to see the details of his report. However, I¡¯m full of expectations for him.¡± Lancelot nodded in understanding. Then, he looked at the pocket watch hanging around his neck and said, ¡°It¡¯s almost time.¡± Barnington¡¯s expression became even more expectant. ¡­ Compared to Barnington¡¯s anticipation, Hu Chuan¡¯s face was filled with anxiety. Lin Fan had not come! He saw that the report was about to start, but Lin Fan had not come. It was just like last time! What should he do? Therefore, Hu Chuan had no choice but to let the school leader go on stage first. He tried his best to say some superficial words to stall for time. Then, he quickly picked up his phone and dialed Lin Fan¡¯s number. The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up, just like last time. Hu Chuan listened to the gradually dissatisfied voices of many mathematics experts in the auditorium and could not help but feel anxious. Then, Hu Chuan picked up his phone and called Lin Fan¡¯s counselor, Sun Yaodong, and Lin Fan¡¯s roommate, Song Yi. However, they did not know where Lin Fan was. Even so, Hu Chuan did not give up. He continued to make calls. When he called Hu Tian, he finally received good news. Hu Tian said, ¡°Lin Fan and I stayed up to study Hodge Conjecture yesterday¡­ We woke up a little late, but we¡¯re already on our way over. We¡¯ll arrive in ten minutes.¡± After she finished speaking, her pretty face blushed. After hanging up the phone, Hu Chuan walked quickly to the stage and said in fluent English, ¡°Lin Fan was studying the Hodge Conjecture last night and lost track of time. Please forgive him. He¡¯s on his way.¡± Originally, many people were already unhappy because the main speaker, Lin Fan, did not arrive on time. However, after hearing Hu Chuan¡¯s explanation, everyone¡¯s dissatisfaction instantly disappeared. Instead, they only had endless expectations. Many people started discussing in low voices. ¡°Do you think he wants to solve a math problem during the report?¡± ¡°How is that possible? That¡¯s the Hodge Conjecture we¡¯re talking about! It¡¯s one of the most difficult problems of the millennium!¡± ¡°However, his spirit is indeed commendable. He¡¯s just solved the Hail Conjecture and immediately threw himself into a new difficult problem.¡± ¡°If I remember correctly, he has already solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, right? Including Hail Conjecture, he¡¯s already solved three difficult problems¡­ Now, he¡¯s targeting the Hodge Conjecture? Is he still human?¡± ¡­ At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside the corridor. Creak! The doors of the auditorium were slowly pushed open. Then, Lin Fan and Hu Tian finally walked in side by side. Instantly, everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Lin Fan. The mathematics experts noticed that Lin Fan was not in a good state of mind. His dark circles were a little heavy. Everyone could not help but exclaim, ¡°Indeed, there¡¯s a reason why Lin Fan could solve so many math problems at such a young age!¡± It was all because of his hard work! Even though he was going to give a large-scale report in front of more than half of the world¡¯s famous mathematicians today, he still seized every second last night to challenge new problems. What kind of rare quality was this?! All the experts silently gave Lin Fan a thumbs-up and clapped. Lin Fan naturally did not know what the mathematicians were thinking. He did not care about the applause at all. He had already had the experience of holding a report, so he was even more relaxed this time. Lin Fan spoke into the microphone in fluent Hua Nation language, ¡°Hello everyone, I¡¯m Lin Fan.¡± Then, he picked up a pen and wrote on the electronic whiteboard¡­ He quickly wrote down the clearest and most understandable solution to Hail Conjecture. X1=1,X2=£¨3X1+3£©/2^1=3 X1=3,X2=£¨3X3+3£©/2^2=3 ¡­ Everyone present was a mathematics expert. Many of them had studied the Hail Conjecture for many years, and Lin Fan¡¯s calculations were very detailed. Therefore, many people could understand the steps. As time passed, Lin Fan¡¯s writing speed became faster and faster. The pen and the electronic writing board kept colliding, making a rapid and violent sound, like a pleasant symphony. n=2m,fm(n)=1£¨m¡±N£© ¡­ Xs+1=(3Xs+1)/2 ^n! Hail Conjecture was proven to be successful! It was perfect! No one had ever seen such a perfect calculation! There was not a single flaw! Originally, some people had planned to pick on him during the report. However, at this moment, they found that they could not find any problem at all. They even started clapping. Immediately after, the entire auditorium was filled with thunderous applause! Normally, at this moment, the main speaker should turn around and thank everyone with a smile. However, Lin Fan still had his back facing the mathematics experts. He was still writing rapidly with the pen in his hands. Soon, the mathematicians noticed this. Was the Hail Conjecture not proven successful? Why was Lin Fan still writing the calculations? £¨1/2£©[A]+12[B] Hk£¨X,Q£©=0 ¡­ Finally, someone exclaimed, ¡°Hodge Conjecture! He¡¯s solving the Hodge Conjecture!¡± His words were like a deep water bomb, causing the entire auditorium to shake violently. Even though everyone knew that Lin Fan was studying the Hodge Conjecture last night and even praised him for his hard work, there were too many people studying the Hodge Conjecture. Most people would need a lot of effort to understand the Hodge Conjecture, let alone solve it. After all, this was a problem of the millennium. Therefore, no one thought that Lin Fan would have a breakthrough in the Hodge Conjecture in such a short period of time. What was Lin Fan trying to do now? He was trying to answer the Hodge Conjecture in public? How was this possible? He had just solved the Hail Conjecture! Professor Barnington, who was sitting in the front seat, watched Lin Fan write quickly. His turbid eyes gradually lit up as his wrinkled face became filled with anticipation. Chapter 293 - 293 Finished Answering; Creating History Again! 293 Finished Answering; Creating History Again! When Lin Fan stood on the stage and wrote down the details of the Hail Conjecture¡¯s proof process, his entire body and mind were completely immersed in the ocean of mathematics. He could not extricate himself. When Lin Fan wrote down the final conclusion of the Hail Conjecture, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. [Absolute Focus: You¡¯ve triggered a flash of inspiration!] Suddenly, the Hodge Conjecture from last night¡¯s research was like a tidal wave in his mind. Then, Lin Fan started to answer the Hodge Conjecture. Lin Fan had already gotten the answer to the Hail Conjecture from the system. Therefore, when he was writing earlier, he was very relaxed and fast. Lin Fan did not have a complete grasp of the Hodge Conjecture. However, with a flash of inspiration, his writing speed was not slow at all. The difference was that the Hail Conjecture used the clearest and most straightforward algorithm. At this moment, Lin Fan could not care less about anything else. In addition, the Hodge Conjecture was much more complicated than the Hail Conjecture. Therefore, even though everyone present was a great expert in the field of mathematics. ¡­The majority of the people could not keep up with Lin Fan¡¯s speed. Some people looked at the complicated calculations and felt dizzy. In the end, they could only choose to give up. A man in a white shirt said in a low voice, ¡°Do you understand?¡± The person beside him said bitterly, ¡°I understood the front part, but later on¡­¡± The man in the white shirt heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately¡­ Fortunately, he was not the only one who could not understand it. However, he soon became extremely bitter. Lin Fan was just a young man in his 20s! Yet he could not even understand his calculations. ¡­ Professor Lancelot stared at the huge display screen for a long time and felt his eyes ache. It was also at this moment that Lin Fan slowed down his writing speed. Lancelot pinched his glabella and said, ¡°It seems like he¡¯s in trouble. Professor Barnington, do you think he can succeed?¡± ¡°He¡¯s in big trouble. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll be very difficult.¡± ¡°What a pity,¡± Lancelot said. ¡­ In reality, just as Lancelot and Barnington had expected, Lin Fan had indeed encountered some trouble. In Lin Fan¡¯s mind, he was walking along the mountain path and was about to reach the peak. Just as he was admiring the beautiful scenery¡­ A cliff dozens of meters wide appeared on the road ahead. Lin Fan could not cross it at all. However, Lin Fan had already seen the beautiful scenery of the mountain peak with a quick glance. He was eager to climb to the top and admire it. [Do you wish to increase the level of your Professor-Level Mathematics Experience?] ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! Upgrade successful! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received Grothendieck¡¯s Mathematics Experience.] [Do you want to use the double skill card?] ¡°Yes!¡± Lin Fan did not hesitate at all and used everything that could be used. Suddenly, a gorgeous rainbow bridge appeared in the middle of the cliff. Lin Fan walked on the rainbow bridge as if he was walking on flat ground. The distance between him and the beautiful scenery at the top of the mountain was rapidly shrinking. ¡­ At the same time, Lin Fan¡¯s writing speed, which had just slowed down, increased once again. The pen and the electronic display screen collided rapidly and violently! It produced an even more shocking melody. Seeing this¡­ Barnington¡¯s dim eyes once again blossomed with brilliant light as he said excitedly, ¡°He¡­ He can really succeed!¡± As if to verify Barnington¡¯s words, Lin Fan¡¯s writing speed became faster and faster. In the next moment¡­ His wrist suddenly stopped, and he slowly put down the pen. The entire auditorium fell silent. After a while, someone shouted, ¡°He succeeded!¡± ¡°The Hodge Conjecture has been proven!¡± ¡°Heavens, I¡¯m witnessing history again!¡± Witnessing history again? That was right! Some of the people who attended the report at Jiangbei University had already been there once. Last time, Lin Fan solved a world-class problem in front of everyone¡ªthe Twin Prime Number Conjecture. He created a historical scene where he solved the problem on the spot. Today, he had replayed what happened that day! Furthermore, it was replaced by the Hodge Conjecture, which was even more difficult! Immediately, everyone applauded with all their might, causing the entire auditorium to burst into thunderous applause. Hu Tian, who was sitting below the stage, kept looking at Lin Fan quietly. She watched as Lin Fan wrote down the proof process of the Hail Conjecture and the complicated proof process of the Hodge Conjecture. Hu Tian looked at Lin Fan¡¯s focused expression and serious actions¡­ Gradually, her impression of Lin Fan started to grow bigger and bigger¡­ When he wrote down the final answer to the Hodge Conjecture, Lin Fan suddenly became as huge as the sun, filling Hu Tian¡¯s entire world. ¡­ ¡°He¡¯s amazing!¡± Professor Barnington praised sincerely. ¡°He¡¯s truly amazing!¡± ¡­ Professor Jeffrey, who was sitting in the front, shouted excitedly, ¡°Professor Adivan, did you see that? Did you see that? He has created history again! ¡°I told you!¡± When Lin Fan wrote down the final answer to the Hodge Conjecture, Professor Adivan was stunned. As a result, he did not hear what Jeffrey was saying at all. However, Jeffrey obviously did not realize this. He continued, ¡°Since Lin Fan hasn¡¯t left yet, let¡¯s go over and ask a few questions.¡± Then, he grabbed Adivan¡¯s clothes and walked toward the stage. In fact, many mathematicians had the same idea as him and walked to the stage. However, Jeffrey was clearly faster. He brought Adivan to Lin Fan and said in fluent English, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. Can I ask you a few questions? The 55th equation, which was Xm+1= Sm9 -5¡­ How did you get it?¡± At this moment, Lin Fan was in a good mood. When he put down the pen, a clear notification sounded in his mind. [Ding! Mission completed¡ªsolve the Hodge Conjecture. You¡¯ll receive five golden packets!] Lin Fan could still clearly remember how much he had gained from the previous golden packets. He believed that this time, the rewards would definitely not be any worse! Therefore, Lin Fan did not mind answering a few questions. Even though Lin Fan had Professional English Skill, he still chose to answer in the language of Hua Nation. However, he still chose to answer in the language of Hua Nation. It was because he was a citizen of Hua Nation! ¡°This formula has to be combined with the 35th equation, the 41st equation, and the 44th equation, which is 3X1 + 5M =7s¡­¡± After saying that, Lin Fan did not stay any longer. He turned around and walked backstage. Only Professor Adivan and Professor Jeffrey were left standing there, confused. ¡°Jeffrey, you¡¯re right. We need to learn the language of Hua Nation,¡± Professor Adivan said after a while.¡± Jeffrey nodded vigorously and said, ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Chapter 294 - 294 Game With Me; Have Dinner Together! 294 Game With Me; Have Dinner Together! Before Lin Fan could go backstage, a few more waves of questions came from the mathematics experts. Lin Fan, who was in a good mood, answered all the questions one by one. Of course, Lin Fan answered all the questions in the language of Hua Nation. The mathematicians wanted to ask more questions. However, due to the fact that they did not understand the language, they were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks. Even so, Lin Fan did not switch languages. What Lin Fan did not know was that because of this incident, the international mathematics community started to learn the language of Hua Nation. Moreover, as time passed, this trend became more and more popular. ¡­ Naturally, Lin Fan was unaware of all of this. After he left the auditorium, he returned to his dormitory. At this moment, there was no one in the dormitory. Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and Ma Zhong were all nowhere to be found. Lin Fan was happy to be quiet. Honestly, his ears were hurting from the applause in the auditorium. Then, Lin Fan placed his attention on the golden packets. He looked at the golden packets and could not help but reveal a look of anticipation. ¡°Five golden packets,¡± he muttered. ¡°Let me see what I can get. ¡°Open them!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a double shares coupon.] Good stuff! Now, Lin Fan owned 10% of the shares of both Little Tanuki Group and Penguin Group. Once he used it, he could immediately obtain another 10% of shares! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received eight million yuan.] Trash! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a land certificate.] Good stuff! After using it, he could immediately obtain 10,000 square meters of land and the ownership of all the buildings on it. Lin Fan suddenly remembered that he still had two land certificates that he had not used. He could use them all next time. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five million yuan.] Trash. Useless! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 51% of Tiantian Bank¡¯s shares.] Good stuff! Tiantian Bank, the largest private bank in Hua Nation, had a market value of 600 billion yuan! Lin Fan had obtained 51% of the shares, which meant that his assets had increased by 300 billion yuan! Lin Fan looked at the things he got from the golden packets and nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he turned his attention to the double shares coupon. [Ding! Do you want to use the double shares coupon on Penguin Group?] ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! You¡¯ve used it successfully. You now have 20% of Penguin Group¡¯s shares!] Instantly, Lin Fan¡¯s assets increased by another 500 billion yuan. He was one step closer to taking back Penguin Group and Little Tanuki Group from overseas forces. After doing all this, Lin Fan¡¯s mood became more relaxed. He lay on the bed and took out his phone out of boredom. He opened the game that his roommates had been playing recently. Lin Fan also knew that this was a turret-pushing and killing game. However, it would be too difficult to play by himself. Hence, before the game started, Lin Fan opened Sharkstream. At this time, Dream Type was controlling Han Xin and easily took down the double kill. Countless bullet comments immediately flooded the live broadcast room. Bin Bin: [As expected of Dream Type. He¡¯s really awesome!] Happy Happy: [The operation is too cool!] Man in the Wind: [When can I have such skills?] Brother Jiang: [Awesome!] Shadowless: [Killer!] Yang Long: [Dream Type, I¡¯ll tip you. How about you play a few rounds with me?] Dream Type obviously saw these bullet comments as well. He smiled and casually said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid I don¡¯t have much time to game with everyone. As for the gifts, feel free to give them¡­ I don¡¯t really care about that.¡± As soon as he said this¡­ In the live broadcast room, a golden notification suddenly appeared: [Welcome to the live broadcast room.] Then¡­ One rocket. Ten rockets. 50 rockets. 100 rockets. 200 rockets. ¡­ In the end, a total of 1,000 rockets flew past the screen. The entire live broadcast room exploded. Golden Goldfish: [F*ck! He¡¯s the legendary Work Slayer!] Book Famine: [Awesome! The rich and powerful tycoon is here to pamper Dream Type!] Illusion in the Dream Realm: [Work Slayer is a realm above others!] Loved for Life: [Work Slayer?! Our king is here!] Lover: [I¡¯ve finally met the godly Work Slayer] ¡­ Lin Fan did not care about the comments and sent out a message. Work Slayer: [Dream Trype, compensate me by playing a few games with me.] Dream Type never expected that the legendary tycoon would actually appear in his live broadcast room. He looked at the screen full of rockets and was completely dumbfounded. After a while, Dream Type finally shouted, ¡°Daddy, I¡¯m coming to game with you!¡± What did he mean by not having time to game with others? Was Daddy one of them? Of course not! ¡­ A similar situation happened in Atai, Old Rate, and God Meow¡¯s live streams. Thus, a team formed by Lin Fan and four top professional gamers was formed. Even if a god stood in their way, they would kill him. The four top-notch professional gamers surrounded Lin Fan in the middle and kept depleting the opponent¡¯s health, leaving only a little bit of health for Lin Fan to finish them off. One kill, two kills, three kills, four kills¡­ Lin Fan was having a lot of fun playing this game. A day passed in the blink of an eye. When Lin Fan was walking on the small path in the school forest, he happened to bump into Hu Tian. For some reason, Lin Fan suddenly felt that she was a little different from this morning. At this moment, Hu Tian¡¯s beautiful eyes were like gemstones as they flickered slightly. Her entire pretty face was flushed red. Although her cherry lips were not open, she seemed to be expressing her fascination with him. Lin Fan looked at her appearance. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Xia Bing and Xia Xue. Hence, he could not help but use the Eyes of Truth on her. [Appearance: 98] [Favorability: 99] 99! As expected, Teacher Tiantian¡¯s favorability toward him had also reached 99! When did this happen? At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s stomach growled. ¡°Teacher Tiantian, have you eaten yet?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Not yet,¡± Hu Tian said. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°That¡¯s good. Let¡¯s eat together!¡± They went straight to the 26th floor of the Zhongshang Building. This was the place where Lin Fan and Hu Tian had come for their first meal. The two of them ate steak and drank red wine. Lin Fan went up and played a piano piece just like the first time they met. Although the meal only cost 32,999 yuan, the two of them enjoyed the food. When Lin Fan sent Teacher Tiantian home, perhaps because the sky was a little dark, Teacher Tiantian was a little afraid. Therefore, she turned around and hugged Lin Fan. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ? (¡¥¦ê¡¥?) ¡­ The moonlight was like a veil that shone upon them. Chapter 295 - 295 Interviews; Too Old! 295 Interviews; Too Old! Lin Fan¡¯s report not only made the mathematics experts acknowledge his solution to the Hail Conjecture, but he even solved the Hodge Conjecture on the spot. Normally, when such a grand report was held, there would be countless media and reporters from both domestic and foreign countries fighting to report on it. However, Jiangbei University knew that Lin Fan did not like doing interviews. That was why he was so relaxed now. The reporters could not interview Lin Fan, so they focused their cameras on the mathematics experts who attended the report. ¡°Professor Barnington, may I ask if Lin Fan¡¯s solutions to the Hail Conjecture and the Hodge Conjecture are correct?¡± A fair-skinned female reporter asked. Barnington thought for a moment and said, ¡°I¡¯m sure the solution for the Hail Conjecture is correct, but the solution for the Hodge Conjecture is too complicated. I need more time to do more in-depth research.¡± The reporter seemed to have caught some hot news and quickly said, ¡°You mean that there¡¯s a problem with Lin Fan¡¯s solution to the Hodge Conjecture?¡± ¡°No, that¡¯s not it! It¡¯s just that his mathematics level far exceeds mine, so I need more time to study it. It¡¯s like a teacher explaining a difficult problem, and the students below require time to digest it.¡± The reporter was slightly stunned. She did not expect Barnington to say that. One had to know¡­ He was a top-notch expert in the mathematics world! Lin Fan was just a young man in his 20s. This¡­ The reporter could not help but say, ¡°You actually think so highly of him.¡± Barnington looked up into the distance as if he was recalling something. ¡°When I saw him, I thought of Grothendieck.¡± The reporter¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted. Grothendieck! The pop of Mathematics! It had to be said that Barnington was pretty good. Lin Fan¡­ had Grothendieck¡¯s Mathematics Experience! ¡­ At this moment, a fair-skinned male reporter walked over and said, ¡°Professor Jeffrey, Professor Adivan, hello. I¡¯m a reporter from the BCC. Did Lin Fan really solve the Hail Conjecture and the Hodge Conjecture?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Jeffrey said with certainty. The male reporter said, ¡°But he¡¯s only in his 20s, right? He solved so many difficult questions at this age. Do you think someone answered it in advance and then he just copied it? ¡°I think there was such an incident in Hua Nation in the past. ¡°Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have refused to be interviewed.¡± Jeffrey and Adivan looked at the reporter as if he was a fool. Someone answered it and then handed it over to Lin Fan to write it in public? Was this person brainless? ¡°If you had been to the report, or if you knew a little bit about mathematics, you definitely wouldn¡¯t have said something like that,¡± Adivan said. ¡°Because he works very hard!¡± Jeffrey said. ¡°He was racing against time to study mathematics! I don¡¯t want to waste my time on these boring interviews, and now¡­ We have to hurry back to America and ask the best teachers to teach us the language of Hua Nation as soon as possible.¡± After saying that, he directly flashed past. ¡­ Things were extremely lively on Weibo. Nation Daily: [Congratulations to Lin Fan of Jiangbei University for successfully holding the Hail Conjecture Report and solving the Hodge Conjecture!] It Seems: [He¡¯s solved four math problems. Lin Fan? No! God Lin, are you still human?] Big Ka: [Do you know? My mentor initially studied Zhou¡¯s Conjecture. He studied it for a year and only managed to make some progress. Then, God Lin solved it. [Therefore, my mentor changed the topic and studied the Twin Prime Number Conjecture. We had just planned out the research steps when we suddenly found out that God Lin had solved it. [Then, my mentor thought about it for a long time and said that he wanted to study a different problem. Therefore, he changed from the Twin Prime Number Conjecture to the Hail Conjecture. [We only studied it for a few days, and God Lin already solved the Hail Conjecture. [My mentor said that this couldn¡¯t happen again. He wanted to study a difficult problem that no one could answer in this century, so he chose the Hodge Conjecture. [He had just confirmed the topic yesterday, and now, God Lin has solved the Hodge Conjecture! [My mentor has already fainted in the toilet from crying. I won¡¯t say anything more. I¡¯m going to send him to the hospital now.] Little Mosquito: [Hahaha! Commenter above, that¡¯s too funny!] Er Li: [In short, God Lin is awesome!] Qi Qi Ke Ke: [F*ck! I heard that if you solve these kinds of problems, you can get a million dollars! Doesn¡¯t that mean that God Lin will become a millionaire soon?] Carefree: [A million dollars is nothing much! God Lin already received a ten million yuan bonus last time!] Person: [Ten million yuan?! Is it too late for me to start studying mathematics now?] ¡­ Lin Fan did not care about the interviews of the mathematics experts or the heated discussions on the internet. In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. Today was Saturday. After Lin Fan had breakfast, he drove his Mercedes-Benz to the airport. The luxury plane of Xia Airlines had been waiting there for a long time. When Lin Fan arrived, he was immediately greeted by many air stewardesses. Rumble! After a loud noise, the plane flew into the distance. In less than two hours, Lin Fan arrived at Modu. Today, he had specially come to look for Qin Yuxuan. The two of them had not seen each other for too long, with the last time being the spring festival. At this moment, Qin Yuxuan walked briskly into the towering Global Financial Tower. She had a perfect figure, beautiful facial features, and the unique temperament of a female elite in the workplace. Everywhere she passed, the people around were stunned. A man wearing Anima clothes with Porsche car keys in his hand slowly walked over and said in a slightly puzzled tone, ¡°Pretty lady, have we met before?¡± However, before Qin Yuxuan could answer, a teasing voice sounded behind her. ¡°Brother, what era is it now? How old-fashioned! Watch me!¡± Qin Yuxuan¡¯s beautiful eyes moved slightly when she heard the voice. It was because she was very familiar with the owner of this voice¡ªLin Fan! Then, Lin Fan stepped forward and held Qin Yuxuan¡¯s slender waist. He then placed his mouth on hers. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) He smiled and said, ¡°Pretty lady, be my girlfriend!¡± Qin Yuxuan¡¯s pretty face blushed slightly. She opened her red lips slightly and said softly, ¡°Alright.¡± Chapter 296 - 296 Greetings, Mr. Lin! 296 Greetings, Mr. Lin! Then, Lin Fan slowly turned his body and looked at the man beside him with a smile. The man was not a fool. How could he not understand that Lin Fan was Qin Yuxuan¡¯s boyfriend? There was nothing wrong with pursuing beautiful women. However, it would be too awkward if he met the other party¡¯s boyfriend when he was pursuing her. At this moment, he just wanted to find a hole to hide in and quickly left with his head buried. Qin Yuxuan did not expect Lin Fan to have such a funny side to him. She could not help but laugh. ¡°When did you come to Modu?¡± ¡°I just got off the plane,¡± Lin Fan said. When Qin Yuxuan heard this, the smile on her face deepened. She held Lin Fan¡¯s arm and walked into the Global Financial Tower. After a while, the two of them arrived at the 78th floor. The words ¡®Fan Yu Investment¡¯ immediately entered Lin Fan¡¯s eyes. Back then, when Lin Fan helped to buy this floor, it was empty. Now, there were many desks and computers. Many men and women in white shirts were working seriously inside. The beautiful lady sitting at the front desk was stunned when she saw Qin Yuxuan and Lin Fan. Although Qin Yuxuan had just graduated, she did not have a hint of naivety in her conduct and actions. In everyone¡¯s hearts, Qin Yuxuan was a strict CEO. When had the beautiful receptionist ever seen Qin Yuxuan¡¯s feminine attitude? Moreover, Qin Yuxuan was holding a young man¡¯s hand. This¡­ ¡°Hello, President Qin.¡± Qin Yuxuan smiled and nodded at her before continuing to walk inside. Soon, the others in the company also noticed this scene. However, they still greeted them quickly and tried to guess Lin Fan¡¯s identity. At this moment, Qin Yuxuan¡¯s phone vibrated slightly. She glanced at the message and said, ¡°There¡¯s a banquet later. Do you want to accompany me?¡± ¡°I came to Modu today to accompany you.¡± Lin Fan smiled. Qin Yuxuan felt even sweeter in her heart. She could not help but snuggle into Lin Fan¡¯s embrace. This scene was seen by all the employees. One could hear the sound of some hearts breaking. It could not be helped. Qin Yuxuan was too beautiful and was the goddess in the hearts of many employees. Now, the goddess was lying in the arms of another man. However, Qin Yuxuan did not seem to notice this. She returned to her office and took out a USB drive before walking out with Lin Fan. ¡­ A banquet hall on the third floor of the Shangri-La Hotel. At this moment, many men and women with big bellies were dressed in suits and leather shoes. They were all gathered together, chatting and laughing. Meanwhile, Senior Sister Lu and Senior Sister Fan, who had accompanied Qin Yuxuan to choose the location for the company back then, were standing at the door and whispering something. When Senior Sister Fan raised her head, she saw Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan. ¡°Yu Xuan, Lin Fan, you guys are here!¡± When Senior Sister Lu heard this, she also raised her head and said, ¡°Lin Fan, I was just saying that when you bought the office for Fan Yu Investment, you also took out 200 million yuan as the starting capital. I didn¡¯t expect you to come so quickly.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°It is!¡± Senior Sister Lu said. ¡°Since last year, we¡¯ve been in contact with most of the companies in the Global Financial Building and have pulled in dozens of investors!¡± The more Senior Sister Lu spoke, the more excited she became. She was dancing with joy. ¡°The 300 million yuan you invested back then should be able to bring you several times the benefits!¡± Senior Sister Lu saw that Lin Fan¡¯s expression was calm and thought that he did not believe her. ¡°Don¡¯t doubt me! The CEOs who have invested in our company and some big bosses who are interested in us will all be here today¡­ Among them is the chairman of Tiantian Bank! You have to treat him well later and take a good look!¡± At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from behind. When Senior Sister Lu heard the sound, she turned around and said, ¡°Hello, Director Liu. Please come in.¡± Director Liu nodded and was about to walk in. In the next moment, his body became solemn as he said excitedly, ¡°Mr. Lin, you¡¯re here!¡± Lin Fan did not know him, but since he greeted him, he could not ignore him. He nodded. Director Liu said happily, ¡°Haha! I didn¡¯t expect to meet you today. My luck is really too good! ¡°By the way, our company is on the 35th floor of the Global Financial Building¡­ I¡¯ll invest 20 million yuan in Fan Yu Investment later.¡± Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll give you a 50% discount on your rent.¡± ¡°Thank you, thank you, Mr. Lin,¡± Director Liu shouted excitedly. 50% off! Their company needed 20 million yuan for their annual rent. In other words, it was reduced by ten million yuan! Although he had invested another 20 million yuan, investments were more often profitable. Even if he lost money, could he lose everything all at once? Furthermore, this might leave an impression on Lin Fan¡¯s heart. This was definitely a good deal. Senior Sister Fan and Senior Sister Lu, who were standing at the side, listened to the conversation between the two of them and were dumbfounded. Rent? What rent? Some of the bosses who were chatting and laughing inside seemed to have heard the conversation at the door and quickly walked towards it. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin!¡± ¡°Greetings, Mr. Lin.¡± ¡°Mr. Lin, our company on the 29th floor invested 30 million yuan in Fan Yu Investment!¡± ¡°Mr. Lin, our company on the 45th floor invested 20 million yuan in Fan Yu Investment.¡± ¡­ Everyone surrounded Lin Fan. Lin Fan said, ¡°As long as you invest, your rent will be 50% off!¡± ¡°Thank you, Mr. Lin!¡± The bosses shouted happily. Lin Fan looked at the crowded entrance of the banquet hall and said, ¡°Don¡¯t squeeze at the door. Let¡¯s go inside and sit.¡± All the bosses nodded and found a place to sit in the banquet hall. However, their eyes were still looking over at Lin Fan, filled with a fawning intent. Seeing that everyone had left, Senior Sister Lu came back to her senses and said, ¡°The rent they mentioned is¡­¡± ¡°Oh, didn¡¯t I tell you about the Global Financial Building? The entire Global Financial Tower is mine,¡± Lin Fan said. His tone was calm and relaxed. However, to Senior Sister Fan and Senior Sister Lu¡¯s ears, it was like a thunderclap that shook their eardrums. One had to know¡­ The Global Financial Tower was located in the center of Modu and was the most high-end office building with a market value of about 50 billion yuan! It belonged to Lin Fan! No wonder, no wonder¡­ The property management seemed to take special care of them. It was no wonder that when their company negotiated with the companies in the Global Financial Building, everything went very smoothly. In fact, some companies did not even negotiate anything with them. They were very proactive in cooperating with their company. A discount on rent? It seemed that Lin Fan had already given them prior instructions. Chapter 297 - 297 One Tomson Building 297 One Tomson Building At this moment, another set of footsteps sounded from outside the corridor. A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses who looked very refined slowly walked in. When some of the bosses saw him, their expressions became slightly solemn. They said, ¡°Chairman Huang.¡± ¡°Hello, Chairman Huang!¡± Chairman Huang was the chairman of Tiantian Bank, Huang Jiayi! He was also the most important person in today¡¯s banquet! ¡°Welcome, Chairman Huang,¡± Senior Lu and Senior Fan said. However, Huang Jiayi acted as if he did not hear these greetings. He walked quickly to Lin Fan and bowed slightly. He said in a respectful tone, ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry I¡¯m a little late.¡± Lin Fan said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s fine. The banquet hasn¡¯t started yet anyway.¡± Huang Jiayi heaved a sigh of relief. Senior Lu and Senior Fan saw this. What¡­ What was going on? Yes, they already knew that the Global Financial Tower belonged to Lin Fan. However, Tiantian Bank did not seem to have rented a space in the Global Financial Building. Why was Huang Jiayi so polite to Lin Fan? He could even be said to be respectful! Finally, Senior Lu could not help but ask, ¡°Lin¡­ Lin Fan, do you know Chairman Huang?¡± Lin Fan replied, ¡°It¡¯s my first time seeing him today.¡± ¡°First time? Then why is he¡­¡± Senior Lu was even more confused. Lin Fan naturally understood what she meant. He smiled and said, ¡°Probably because I¡¯m the biggest shareholder of Tiantian Bank.¡± Silence! The entire scene suddenly fell silent! Senior Lu and Senior Fan were completely stunned. The biggest shareholder of Tiantian Bank! Tiantian Bank was the largest private bank in Hua Nation, with a market value of more than 600 billion. The largest shareholder¡­ How much money was that? Back then, Lin Fan casually took out 100 million yuan to buy the 78th floor of the Global Financial Tower. Then, he took out another 200 million yuan for the company¡¯s start-up capital. Today, they found out that the entire Global Financial Tower belonged to Lin Fan. These¡­ It had already shocked the two of them. Now, they learned about his identity as the biggest shareholder of Tiantian Bank. This¡­ This¡­ This completely exceeded the imagination and understanding of the two women. They had just said that they wanted to let Lin Fan broaden his horizons. Senior Lu blushed at the thought of this. However, what Senior Lu and Senior Fan did not know was that the strength that Lin Fan had displayed was only the tip of the iceberg. If the two of them knew that Lin Fan was also the biggest shareholder of Yinshan Group, Qing Kun Group, Xiao Wu Wholesale City, and many other companies worth billions of dollars¡­ He also owned 5% shares of international companies such as LV, Volkswagen Group, and Gucci. He was even the second-largest shareholder of Little Tanuki Group and Penguin Group¡­ As for residential areas and high-end office buildings, he owned even more. One wondered what their expressions would be like if they found out about all these. Qin Yuxuan, who was standing at the side, looked at Lin Fan with shining eyes. In her eyes, Lin Fan¡¯s tall figure was getting bigger and bigger. At the same time, he emitted an aura as bright as the sun and as vast as the universe. Qin Yuxuan¡­ was completely infatuated. Amidst the noise, the banquet officially began. Lin Fan¡­ Without a doubt, Lin Fan was the main character of today¡¯s banquet. On the other hand, Fan Yu Investment received billions of yuan worth of investment. If it were in the past, Senior Lu and Senior Fan would definitely be jumping around for joy. However, at this moment, they were very calm. The impact that Lin Fan had given them was just too great. ¡­ After the banquet ended, Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan did not leave the Shangri-La Hotel. Instead, they went straight to the presidential suite on the top floor. When they walked into the presidential suite, the two of them were like magnets, hugging each other tightly. The longing of meeting again after such a long time made Qin Yuxuan feel as though she was about to melt into water and merge into Lin Fan¡¯s embrace. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) Tonight, there was no sleep. ¡­ The next day. When Lin Fan opened his eyes, it was already bright outside. He was the only one on the big white bed. Lin Fan picked up his phone out of habit. At this moment, as usual, a text message appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,100,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, he turned his attention to the check-in system. ¡°It¡¯s useless to earn ten million yuan these days. I hope I can get something else today. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained one Tomson Building.] Lin Fan had naturally heard of Tomson Building. It was a top-notch luxury residential building that cost more than 200,000 yuan per square meter. There seemed to be more than 40 units in each building. Each unit was about 100 million to 200 million yuan. In other words, he had earned a conservative five billion yuan from this sign-in. Lin Fan nodded his head slightly, expressing his satisfaction. Then, he slowly got up and walked out. At this moment, Qin Yuxuan was sitting in front of the computer, dealing with her work seriously. The reason why Fan Yu Investment was able to attract so many investments and develop so quickly was that the companies that rented the Global Financial Tower had given Lin Fan their support. At the same time, it was also because of Qin Yuxuan¡¯s hard work. Otherwise, no matter how much money they received, they would probably end up losing everything in the end. At this moment, Qin Yuxuan noticed Lin Fan as well. She could not help but smile sweetly. ¡°You¡¯re awake? I¡¯m almost done with my work for today.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Alright! Then I¡¯ll get someone to send some food up first.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Qin Yuxuan replied. Then, Lin Fan picked up his phone and got someone to send up bird¡¯s nest porridge, sea urchin egg tarts, seafood noodles, prawns, sea cucumbers, and all kinds of exquisite food. After that, he went to wash up. When Lin Fan returned, the food was delivered. The two of them sat together and slowly tasted the delicacies. It was extremely relaxing. Then, Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan spent another two hours in the presidential suite. When Qin Yuxuan went to the washroom, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. 12:00! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 3,222 yuan.] ¡­ Lin Fan tapped on the screen and received a total of 52,112 yuan. Then, he casually stuffed his phone back into his pocket. ¡­ It was March. The breeze was gentle and refreshing in Modu. Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan held hands as they strolled along the bustling streets. At this moment, Lin Fan was no longer a billionaire, and Qin Yuxuan was no longer the CEO of a large-scale investment company. They were like an ordinary couple, unrestrained. When they turned at an intersection, a commotion suddenly sounded in the distance. Qin Yuxuan followed the voice, and her expression changed slightly. ¡°Aunt, Qian Qian!¡± Then, she said to Lin Fan, ¡°That¡¯s my aunt and niece!¡± She quickened her pace and walked forward. Chapter 298 - 298 You Humans Are Worse Than Dogs; Apologize! 298 You Humans Are Worse Than Dogs; Apologize! At this moment¡­ A little girl who looked like a porcelain doll was lying on the ground, wailing and trembling. She was extremely panicked and afraid. Her aunt, who was dressed in simple clothes, quickly bent down and picked her up. Her face was filled with concern and worry. After Qin Yuxuan ran over, she quickly asked, ¡°Aunt, what¡¯s wrong with Qian Qian? Is she alright?¡± Ever since she was young, her aunt had been very good to Qin Yuxuan. Every time she returned to Qing City, her aunt would bring a lot of snacks and toys for Qin Yuxuan. In fact, this was also one of the reasons why Qin Yuxuan chose to study in Modu. Ever since she arrived in Modu, Qin Yuxuan would visit her aunt¡¯s house to play with Qian Qian whenever she was free. At this moment, she saw Qian Qian in pain, and her heart ached for her. However, before her aunt could answer, a lady with a pearl necklace as thick as a finger and heavy makeup on her face shouted, ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with her. ¡°But my Lil Tai was scared by this little girl. He¡¯s still shaking! Hurry up and apologize to Lil Tai! Otherwise, this matter won¡¯t end!¡± Then, the noblewoman pulled the dog leash, making the retreating dog take a few steps forward. The dog immediately barked. Qin Yuxuan¡¯s aunt had always had a good temper, but when she heard this, she could not help but feel angry. ¡°What are you talking about? It was clearly your dog that scared my daughter. We haven¡¯t asked you to apologize, but you want us to apologize to your dog?!¡± The conversation between the two quickly attracted the attention of many pedestrians. Many people started discussing in low voices. ¡°She¡¯s asking them to apologize to her dog? Is she kidding?¡± ¡°That little girl fell.¡± ¡°What a pitiful little girl.¡± ¡°I think her hand is injured¡­¡± ¡­ ¡°My Lil Tai eats top-grade beef and fruits shipped back from abroad every day. How can she compare to my Lil Tai?! ¡°Hurry up and apologize to my Lil Tai!¡± When the lady said this, she became even more domineering. Seeing that Qin Yuxuan¡¯s aunt had no intention of apologizing, she was unhappy and raised her hand to push her. At this moment, a large hand appeared and stopped the noblewoman with a slap. It was Lin Fan! Lin Fan had the power of Violent Aesthetics. How strong was he? With a casual slap, the lady¡¯s arm immediately swelled up. The lady shouted ferociously, ¡°You dare to hit me?!¡± She was extremely angry. Her eyes were wide open, and cracks appeared on the thick makeup on her face. It was as though she wanted to swallow Lin Fan alive. Lin Fan raised his hand again. However¡­ This time, she did not slap her arm this time but her face. Instantly, the lady¡¯s face turned red and swollen. ¡°Apologize!¡± Lin Fan said coldly. This slap did not wake the lady up. Instead, it infuriated her. ¡°Ahhhh! You¡¯re done for! I guarantee you¡¯re all done for! ¡°The three-star Michelin restaurant behind is mine! I¡¯ll make sure you¡¯re completely done for!¡± The noblewoman roared loudly as if she had turned into a mad dog. Lin Fan did not say anything. He slapped the lady¡¯s face again. Instantly, both sides of her face became red and swollen. She looked like a pig¡¯s head. Then, Lin Fan used the corner of his eye to glance at the nearby Fumando Hotel. Then, he placed his attention on the land certificates in the system. [Ding! Do you want to use land certificates with Fumando Hotel as the center?] Lin Fan had a total of three land certificates. He had been looking for an opportunity to use them. Now, he finally had a chance. ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! You¡¯ve used them successfully.] The noblewoman covered her pig-like face and shouted, ¡°Alright, just you wait!¡± As she spoke, she took out her phone and quickly made a call. ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m at the entrance of the Fumando Hotel. I was beaten up.¡± After trying her best to comfort her daughter, Qin Yuxuan¡¯s aunt said, ¡°Yu Xuan, why don¡¯t we leave?¡± Although she also wanted her to apologize, Fumando Hotel was the top hotel in the entire city! She could not afford to offend this noblewoman. If the people from the hotel arrived, it would definitely be a disaster. ¡°You want to leave? No way!¡± After saying that, she took a few steps forward and blocked the path of Qin Yuxuan, her aunt, and the others. Qin Yuxuan pulled Qian Qian into her arms and comforted her. Then, she looked at Lin Fan. Obviously, she was asking for Lin Fan¡¯s opinion. Lin Fan gave her a reassuring expression and then glanced at the lady coldly. The wealthy lady dared to roar at Qin Yuxuan¡¯s aunt and stop Qin Yuxuan. Facing Lin Fan, who had slapped her twice, the woman was terrified and could not help but take a few steps back. At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from afar. Then, a large group of tall men in security uniforms walked over. When the lady saw this group of people, especially the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes who was walking in the front, she became extremely excited. She shouted, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m here!¡± When the middle-aged man saw the lady¡¯s current appearance, he could not help but be stunned. When he saw the person standing next to the lady, his pupils constricted. Lin Fan! Boss Lin! Many people thought that Fumando Hotel belonged to the middle-aged man. However, the middle-aged man knew very well that he was only the person in charge on the surface. The real boss was someone else. Today, or rather, just now¡­ The middle-aged man found out that Fumando Hotel¡¯s boss had changed to a young man in his 20s called Lin Fan. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he saw the new boss in person. At this moment, the lady pointed at Lin Fan and shouted, ¡°It¡¯s him, it¡¯s him! Hubby, he¡¯s the one who beat me up! ¡°Not only is this little girl inferior to my Lil Tai, but all of you combined are far inferior to my Lil Tai! How dare you hit me?! ¡°Bastard, weren¡¯t you very arrogant just now? Continue hitting me, then!¡± She¡­ She actually dared to say that Lin Fan and the people beside him¡­ could not even compare to a dog? Then, she even called Lin Fan a bastard? How dare she? How dare he? Bastard! The middle-aged man was extremely angry. He quickly walked forward. In the next moment, he raised his hand and slapped at lightning speed. This slap landed on the noblewoman¡¯s face again. The noblewoman¡¯s face was already red and swollen. With this slap, a trace of blood seeped out from the corner of her mouth. Chapter 299 - 299 I Bought This Establishment; It’s a Free Canteen! 299 I Bought This Establishment; It¡¯s a Free Canteen! This sudden slap stunned the lady. W-What was going on? Why did her husband suddenly hit her? Did he not come here to support her? However, before the noblewoman could ask¡­ Another slap landed on the lady¡¯s face. This time, it wasn¡¯t the middle-aged man who attacked. It was Lin Fan. Lin Fan said calmly, ¡°You asked me to hit you. I was just fulfilling your wish.¡± This slap seemed to wake the lady up a little. She shouted, ¡°I¡¯ll fight you to the death!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand which was like a claw and was about to grab Lin Fan. ¡°You b*tch!¡± The middle-aged man shouted. Then, he kicked her to the ground. He bent down and said in a respectful and nervous tone, ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t discipline her well and allowed her to offend you. I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Lin Fan said coldly, ¡°Did she offend me? She said that my girlfriend¡¯s aunt¡¯s daughter can¡¯t even compare to her dog! She even wanted them to apologize to the dog!¡± The middle-aged man was so scared that he shivered, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead. He kicked the noblewoman again and shouted, ¡°Apologize!¡± The lady cried in pain and rolled on the ground, but she did not apologize immediately. The middle-aged man kicked again and said, ¡°Hurry up and apologize! Quickly apologize to them!¡± At this moment, the lady understood that Lin Fan definitely had a terrifying identity. She lay on the ground and cried, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry¡­ It was my fault just now¡­ I was talking nonsense.¡± This drastic change made Qin Yuxuan¡¯s aunt and Qian Qian feel a little overwhelmed. Lin Fan snorted and said, ¡°Yuxuan, Aunt, Qian Qian. It¡¯s time for dinner. Let¡¯s go eat together.¡± Qin Yuxuan smiled. ¡°Aunt, Qian Qian, let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s eat something delicious together.¡± After saying that, she pulled Qian Qian into her arms. The middle-aged man, who had been bending over, hurriedly said, ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯ll arrange a table for you at Fumando Hotel.¡± Lin Fan glanced at him and said calmly, ¡°That¡¯s unnecessary. You let your wife do whatever she wants. Fumando doesn¡¯t need someone like you.¡± Then, he strode forward. Lin Fan did not hold back at all. It was because he knew very well that if it had been someone else, they would not have been able to do anything. In fact, that person may end up miserable. How could an apology be enough? The middle-aged man felt as if all the strength in his body had been sucked dry in an instant, and he fell to the ground weakly. He was done for¡­ He had worked so hard for so many years to become the general manager of Fumando, and now¡­ It was gone¡­ When he lowered his head and saw the noblewoman lying on the ground, he was furious and shouted, ¡°It¡¯s you! It¡¯s all because of you, you b*tch!¡± Then, the middle-aged man punched and kicked the lady again. Regarding this¡­ Lin Fan did not care. ¡­ Under the welcome of the deputy general manager and the higher-ups for Fumando, Lin Fan, Qin Yuxuan, her aunt, and Qian Qian came to a luxurious private room and sat down. ¡°Aunt, this is my boyfriend, Lin Fan,¡± Qin Yuxuan introduced. She sized Lin Fan up and nodded her head in satisfaction. Lin Fan was simply too handsome. Furthermore, he had a special aura about him. After a while, Qin Yuxuan¡¯s aunt said, ¡°Lin Fan, thank you so much for just now¡­ If it wasn¡¯t for you, I don¡¯t know what kind of trouble Qian Qian and I would have been put in.¡± Lin Fan said casually, ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter. You don¡¯t have to take it to heart.¡± At this moment, pufferfish, Buddha Jumps Over The Wall, and other delicious dishes were quickly served. ¡°¡­You ordered so many dishes?¡± Qin Yuxuan¡¯s aunt said in surprise. She could not help but swallow her saliva as she smelled the fragrance of the delicious food. Lin Fan said, ¡°That¡¯s why we have to eat more!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s eat together. It won¡¯t taste good if the food gets cold later.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan picked up a piece of meat and placed it into Qin Yuxuan¡¯s bowl. With Lin Fan taking the lead, the others did not hesitate anymore. When everyone put the food into their mouths, they could not stop at all. ¡°It¡¯s delicious!¡± Qian Qian could not help but exclaim.¡± ¡°Qianqian, you have to eat more,¡± Qin Yuxuan said with a smile. ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Qian Qian nodded vigorously. Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. ¡°Oh right, Lin Fan, you and Fumando Hotel¡­¡± Qin Yuxuan said. ¡°Oh, I bought this hotel a while ago. I¡¯m considered the boss here now,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°In the future, you can treat this place as a free canteen.¡± His tone was very relaxed and calm. It was as if he was saying, ¡®Oh, I just ate.¡¯ However, to Qin Yuxuan and her aunt, it was completely different. One had to know¡­ Fumando had the only three-star Michelin restaurant in Modu! On average, one spent more than 5,000 yuan here! Even so, reservations were full until next month! One could imagine how amazing this establishment was. Now, this establishment belonged to Lin Fan? Lin Fan said that he bought it? He made it sound like he was just buying a small shop. When Lin Fan and the others walked out of the private room, the higher-ups of Fumando were waiting at the side like before. Lin Fan looked at the man in black-rimmed glasses standing at the front and said, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°My name is Jiang Chao, the deputy general manager of Fu Manduo,¡± the man replied respectfully. Lin Fan nodded his head and said, ¡°Alright, you¡¯ll be in charge of Fumando from now on.¡± Jiang Chao said excitedly, ¡°Understood! I¡¯ll definitely manage Fumando well in the future¡­¡± Lin Fan did not wait for him to say a bunch of promises. He waved his hand and said, ¡°Alright, that¡¯s it.¡± Qin Yuxuan¡¯s aunt knew that Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan were on a date. Therefore, after they left Fumando, she brought Qian Qian to bid farewell to Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan so that they could enjoy their time together as a couple. After eating, Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan did not want to sit down. Just like that, the two of them strolled along the road to digest their food. They did not walk far before they were attracted by a European-style castle-like building not far away. On the top of the castle were the words ¡®Patek Phillippe.¡¯ ¡®Patek Phillippe,¡¯ Lin Fan muttered in his heart. Then, his gaze landed on Qin Yuxuan¡¯s smooth and beautiful body. Without any hesitation, Lin Fan pulled Qin Yuxuan¡¯s hand and walked into the castle-like shop. As soon as he entered the shop, he heard a pleasant sound like the sound of spring water. At this moment, the shop assistant also noticed someone coming in. She smiled and said, ¡°Welcome to Patek Phillippe.¡± Chapter 300 - 300 Buying a Watch; Forcing It! 300 Buying a Watch; Forcing It! Then, the female shop assistant who was standing closer to the door slowly came up to them. ¡°May I help you?¡± she asked softly. Lin Fan pointed at Qin Yuxuan and said, ¡°I¡¯m here to buy a watch for my girlfriend. Do you have any recommendations?¡± The shop assistant secretly sized up Qin Yuxuan and was first stunned by her appearance. When she saw the Heart of the Deep Sea on Qin Yuxuan¡¯s neck, her eyes lit up slightly. When she shifted her gaze to Lin Fan and accidentally saw the Vacheron Constantin Tour de l¡¯Ile he was wearing, her heart skipped a beat. She knew¡­ she had definitely met a big client today. Hence, her attitude became even more respectful. This was not because the saleswoman was scrutinizing customers to filter them out. It was just that after a simple screening, she could provide better service. ¡°This lady¡¯s skin is fair, and her temperament is refined. She matches our Patek Philippe¡¯s Tiannian, KJ, and Floral collections.¡± She pointed at the crystal counter and introduced the exquisite and unique watches. However, Qin Yuxuan did not seem to be too interested in these watches. Her expression remained the same. The shop assistant seemed to have noticed this as well and said, ¡°And this Fenghua¡­ In my opinion, it¡¯s the most suitable.¡± She pointed at a watch in the middle. Qin Yuxuan looked in the direction she was pointing, and her beautiful eyes could not help but light up. This change was also seen by the female shop assistant. She smiled and gave a more detailed introduction. ¡°Fenghua was designed and produced by the famous horologist, Mr. Laurenhan, and it took him five years. There are 15 pieces worldwide, and this is the only one in Hua Nation. ¡°Therefore, it can be said to be unique in the country. ¡°The glass is made of sapphire. It¡¯s transparent, bright, and noble¡­ There are a total of 99 natural diamonds embedded in the watch band and case. Under the illumination of the lights, they are dazzling and gorgeous, just like a young lady with peerless beauty¡­¡± The shop assistant introduced the watch while putting on a pair of rubber gloves. She carefully took it out. ¡°Wow! What a beautiful watch!¡± At this moment, a surprised cry came from the door. ¡°Honey, I want this watch,¡± the gorgeous woman said coquettishly. The man looked in the direction the woman was pointing at and casually glanced at the watch. However, he was immediately shocked by Qin Yuxuan¡¯s beautiful appearance. Exquisite facial features and a perfect figure! Goddess, she was definitely a goddess! In the past, the man thought that his new girlfriend was very beautiful. Now, it seemed she was just trash! The gorgeous woman did not notice the change in the man¡¯s expression. She shook the man¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Darling, I want that watch¡­¡± The man finally came back to his senses and said, ¡°Ah, ah¡­¡± Even though the gorgeous woman had been very loud ever since she entered the shop, the shop assistant could not reprimand her at all. She could only explain in a respectful tone, ¡°Sorry, this watch is currently being shown to these two customers¡­¡± If the shop assistant had not said this, the man would have hesitated to buy the watch. It was because he knew about Patek Phillippe. Any watch from this brand would probably cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. Now, after hearing the female shop assistant say this, the man was determined to buy this watch. If he spent thousands of dollars to buy a watch, he could immediately show his rich side. He would definitely be able to attract Qin Yuxuan¡¯s attention and make her marvel and worship him. Later, he would find a reason to get Qin Yuxuan¡¯s contact information. Wouldn¡¯t there be more opportunities to get closer to her in the future? The man had done similar things a few times before, so he was very familiar with this method. The man raised his head and said, ¡°So, they haven¡¯t bought it yet? Since that¡¯s the case, we¡¯ll buy it now!¡± After saying that, the man took out a gold-rimmed bank card. When the gorgeous woman saw this, she said happily, ¡°Wow! Darling, you¡¯re awesome! Mwacks!¡± The shop assistant did not take the card immediately. Instead, she looked at Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan hesitantly. ¡°What?¡± The man frowned. ¡°Do you need me to talk to your manager?¡± The female shop assistant could only say, ¡°No¡­ No need, I¡¯ll swipe the card for you now.¡± Beep! However, after swiping the bank card, the receipt did not appear. ¡°Sir, I¡¯m sorry, but you don¡¯t have enough funds.¡± The man took the card and looked at it. ¡°How is that possible? There¡¯s still two million yuan in this card! You must have done it wrong! Do it again!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sir,¡± the shop assistant said patiently. ¡°Perhaps you didn¡¯t hear my introduction just now. ¡°This watch is called Fenghua. It¡¯s made of 99 natural diamonds and sapphire glass. There are only 15 pieces in the world, and the price is 8.89 million yuan.¡± The man was slightly shocked. All of his assets added up to only a few tens of millions. Among them¡­ included real estate. If he were to spend hundreds of thousands on a watch, he could accept it through gritted teeth. However, to spend 8.99 million yuan on a watch? That was simply crazy! Moreover, he did not have that much liquid capital. ¡°Darling, don¡¯t you have a company with a market value of billions?¡± The gorgeous beauty beside him said coquettishly. ¡°It¡¯s only 8.99 million, and I want this watch.¡± Billions in market value? Was that what he had said when was bragging to her? The man said awkwardly, ¡°Uhh¡­ I don¡¯t have that much money in this card. Next time¡­ Next time, we¡¯ll come back and buy it again.¡± Lin Fan, who had not said anything, sneered. ¡°If you don¡¯t have money, then so be it. Why are you looking for so many excuses?¡± When the man saw Qin Yuxuan for the first time earlier, he revealed pure lust. Lin Fan immediately knew what he was thinking. Since that was the case, Lin Fan naturally wouldn¡¯t say anything nice. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about, kid?¡± The man flew into a rage out of humiliation. However, he quickly recovered and sneered. ¡°Yeah, I don¡¯t have money! You were the first to look at this watch, no? Then pay up!¡± To the man, Lin Fan was just a young man in his 20s. Where would he get 8.99 million yuan? As long as he could not fork it out, the man could mock him even more brutally later. ¡°When did I say I wanted to buy this watch?¡± Lin Fan said calmly. The man sneered. ¡°If you don¡¯t have the money to buy it, just say that. Some young people are just too stubborn. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you think that you¡¯re being very cool? In fact, in the eyes of those who¡¯ve already seen through you, you¡¯re just ridiculous. You¡¯re simply a clown!¡± Lin Fan glanced at the man and pointed at the watch in the middle of the counter. He said to the shop assistant, ¡°Excuse me, please take out this watch. We want to buy it.¡± Chapter 301 - 301 Return the Same Words; A Luxury Yacht! 301 Return the Same Words; A Luxury Yacht! What kind of eyes did Lin Fan have? When the shop assistant introduced Fenghua, Qin Yuxuan¡¯s eyes lit up. However, Lin Fan knew¡­ She was not moved by Fenghua at all but by the piece beside it¡­ It was the watch in the middle. The female shop assistant looked in the direction Lin Fan was pointing, and her heart skipped a beat. ¡°This is a limited edition watch¡ªthe Queen of Heaven. There are only five in the world. ¡°It was designed and researched by the famous designer, George Nivelo, of the Patrick Phillippe Company. He spent ten years on it. A total of 365 natural colored diamonds are inlaid on the watch band and case, representing 365 days of eternal protection and support¡­¡± Lin Fan nodded. Without waiting for her to finish, he took out a bank card and said, ¡°I¡¯ll pay by card.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The shop assistant was stunned. The reason why she did not mention the price was because she wanted to say that this watch was very expensive. She had a good impression of Lin Fan and did not want him to be mocked by others. However, the shop assistant did not expect Lin Fan to directly take out his bank card just like the man. The shop assistant hesitated and said, ¡°The price of this watch is 31 million yuan.¡± Before Lin Fan could say anything, the man beside him had already started shouting. ¡°Quickly swipe the card! What the hell¡­ Do you want me to call your manager over?¡± The female shop assistant looked at Lin Fan again. Seeing that he did not say anything, she could only put the bank card on the machine and swipe it gently. Beep! With a soft sound, a receipt for 31 million yuan appeared. It was a successful transaction! At the same time, 3,100 red packets appeared on Lin Fan¡¯s phone. The man was about to laugh out loud. At this moment, he was completely frozen. The transaction was successful! He actually had 31 million yuan! How was this possible? Lin Fan glanced at the man and said calmly, ¡°What you said just now was right. If you don¡¯t have the money to buy it, just say that. Otherwise, you¡¯d only be pretending to be cool. In the eyes of those with money, such antics are simply ridiculous. You¡¯re simply a clown.¡± This was what the man said to Lin Fan earlier. In the end, Lin Fan returned the same words to the man. The man only felt that¡­ his entire face seemed to have been slapped a few times. It hurt! The man wanted to retort, but he was powerless to do so. He could only lower his head and walk out. As soon as he walked out of the store, the gorgeous woman next to him shouted, ¡°I always thought you were a rich man, but you¡¯re actually a poor bastard! I¡¯ve never been so embarrassed before!¡± After saying that, she quickly walked in another direction. The man opened his mouth, his face filled with helplessness. When he saw Qin Yuxuan, he felt that the gorgeous woman was just trash. In the end, even trash did not want to stay by his side. ¡­ Lin Fan did not care about any of this at all. He held the dazzling Patek Philippe watch and slowly put it on Qin Yuxuan¡¯s jade-like wrist. ¡°Do you like it?¡± he asked with a smile. Qin Yuxuan nodded her head vigorously. Then, she threw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s embrace. At this moment, she was completely filled with sweetness. After they left the store, the two of them held hands and continued to walk forward, letting the river breeze blow past them. It was refreshing and leisurely. When Lin Fan raised his head, he could easily see a tall building not far away¡ªTomson Building. Was this not the residential building that he had just obtained? Lin Fan¡¯s heart was filled with curiosity toward this famous residential building. Therefore, he held Qin Yuxuan¡¯s hand and walked into the neighborhood. The price of the units in the Tomson Building was high. On the one hand, it was because of the good location. On the other hand, the management and environment were very good as well. The gate of the community was installed with a face recognition function, so outsiders could not enter at all. Beep! When Lin Fan walked to the gate, the gate opened with a soft sound. The two security guards standing at the side quickly stood up straight as if they were soldiers who had seen their superior. Lin Fan did not pay too much attention to that and walked to the building closest to the river. Beep! The gate of the building opened automatically again. Seeing this¡­ The security guards looked at Lin Fan with even more respect. This was because this building was bought by a mysterious person a long time ago. After that, other than the cleaners and security guards, no one else had gone in. This was also one of the reasons why there were very few houses in the Tomson Building. At this moment, Lin Fan had gone into the area. The answer was obvious! Lin Fan naturally did not know what the security guards were thinking. He brought Qin Yuxuan into the spacious and gorgeous elevator. The elevator went up, and it felt like they were on flat ground all along. It did not shake at all. In less than ten seconds, Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan arrived at the top floor. Lin Fan pressed the password and unlocked the door. With a soft sound, the door opened. The living room, which was nearly 100 square meters, immediately appeared in their field of vision. The setting sun shone through the French windows, illuminating the luxurious modern furniture. At the same time, it also illuminated Qin Yuxuan¡¯s beautiful eyes. ¡°Yuxuan, you can stay here from now on.¡± Qin Yuxuan¡¯s delicate body trembled slightly. This was happiness, pure happiness! She gently opened her cherry lips and said, ¡°Lin Fan.¡± Then, she could not help but spread her arms and throw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s embrace. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ Tomson Building No. 1, which had been silent for a long time, became extremely lively today. ¡­ The next day, when Lin Fan opened his eyes, Qin Yuxuan was still lying on the bed in a deep sleep. This was normal¡­ She had been too tired the past two days. Hence, Lin Fan did not disturb her. He tiptoed to the living room alone. He first called Fumando to send some delicacies over. Then, his gaze fell on the check-in system. ¡°Yesterday, I obtained a Tomson Building No. 1. Let¡¯s see what I can get today.¡± ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a luxury yacht¡ªSolange!] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. Not long ago, he accidentally saw the news about Solange. It was 86 meters long and had a total of eight VIP cabins. Rather than calling it a yacht, it was more like a water fortress! The price had even reached 1.2 billion yuan! Now, this luxury yacht belonged to him? Lin Fan owned a high-end residential area, a luxurious villa, a super sports car, and even a helicopter! However, to be honest¡­ this was the first time he had obtained a luxury yacht! At this moment, Qin Yuxuan walked into the living room and hugged Lin Fan from behind. Lin Fan patted her gently and said, ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you these two days. Why didn¡¯t you sleep more?¡± Hard on her? Qin Yuxuan¡¯s pretty face blushed slightly, and then she said softly, ¡°I¡¯ve rested well enough.¡± At this moment, the phone in Qin Yuxuan¡¯s pocket rang. Chapter 302 - 302 Discussion on Team-Building; Begin! 302 Discussion on Team-Building; Begin! Qin Yuxuan looked at the caller ID. It was Senior Lu. Therefore, she answered the call without any hesitation. ¡°Yuxuan, are you with Lin Fan?¡± Senior Lu asked. ¡°Yes, what¡¯s the matter, Senior Lu?¡± Qin Yuxuan asked. ¡°Oh, didn¡¯t we receive a lot of big orders recently? Yesterday, everyone worked overtime and we¡¯ve basically finished dealing with the matters in the early stages. ¡°There will be a lot of things to do later¡­ Therefore, I was thinking that I should organize a team-building event in the next one or two days so that everyone can have fun and relax¡­ What do you think?¡± Qin Yuxuan was a person who was motivated and had great management talent. She knew very well that she had to be lax in the management of the employees. Otherwise, there would be problems. Ever since the company was established, there had never been any team-building activities. Besides, just like Senior Lu said, the entire company would be very busy soon. Before that, the team-building event could allow the employees to relax. At the same time, it could also cultivate a tacit understanding between the employees and increase their work efficiency in the future. This was a good thing. ¡°I think it¡¯s a good idea.¡± Qin Yuxuan replied. Senior Lu said happily, ¡°I knew that you¡¯d agree! ¡°Alright, you two can continue being sweet. I won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡± After saying that, she hung up the phone. Lin Fan heard the conversation. ¡°If it¡¯s a team-building event, I have a good place in mind¡­ How about I help arrange it?¡± Lin Fan said. Qin Yuxuan had absolute trust in Lin Fan. Without any hesitation, she nodded and said, ¡°Alright!¡± At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. However, it was an unknown number. ¡°Hello, is this Mr. Lin Fan?¡± A slightly respectful voice came from the phone. Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s me. And you are?¡± ¡°The Solange luxury yacht you ordered has arrived at the port of Modu. You can go and check it at any time¡­ Also, do you have any other questions or need any help?¡± Wan Bo had a certain status in the company. However, he knew very well that he was nothing in front of a person who had ordered Solange. Therefore, his tone was extremely respectful. Lin Fan¡¯s face revealed an expression that seemed to say, ¡®I knew it¡¯. He said, ¡°Alright¡­ I might need to use it to go out to sea and hold a party in the next two days. Can you help me find some crew members and waiters?¡± ¡°Of course. If you need anything, you can call me anytime,¡± Wan Bo said. After Lin Fan hung up, he said to Qin Yuxuan, ¡°I¡¯ve already made the arrangements. Now it¡¯s up to you when you want to hold it.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll ask Senior Lu and the others.¡± Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan did not go out for the entire day. The two of them were like a young couple on vacation. They ate together, watched TV together, and¡­ It was very relaxing and warm. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. When the morning sun rose, Qin Yuxuan drove the Mini Cooper and brought Lin Fan to the Global Financial Tower. At this moment, all the employees of Fan Yu Investment were waiting downstairs with their backpacks, sunglasses, and hats on their faces. That was because today was the day of Fan Yu Investment¡¯s team-building event! When they saw Qin Yuxuan and Lin Fan getting out of the Mini Cooper, they shouted, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. Hello, President Qin!¡± Evidently, everyone had some understanding of Lin Fan¡¯s identity. ¡°Today is the day of our Fan Yu Investment¡¯s team-building event,¡± Qin Yuxuan cleared her throat and said. ¡°There¡¯s no boss or leader today. Everyone is friends. Later, we¡¯ll have a good meal and have fun together!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Everyone shouted in unison. At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz luxury bus drove over from afar and stopped in front of everyone. ¡°The bus has arrived. Let¡¯s set off!¡± Qin Yuxuan said.¡± The Global Financial Tower was not far from the dock. In just half an hour, everyone could already see the blue sea. After getting out of the bus, everyone welcomed the sea breeze, their faces filled with satisfaction. At this moment, a man in a suit walked over from afar and said respectfully to Lin Fan, ¡°Mr. Lin, this way please.¡± He¡­ was Wan Bo, the manager of the company who called Lin Fan yesterday. Lin Fan nodded his head and walked forward. This was a dock, and there were many boats and yachts docked by the river bank. Everyone walked and watched, occasionally letting out a burst of discussion. ¡°That ship is quite beautiful.¡± ¡°There are actually so many ships docked here¡­¡± ¡°Modu¡¯s housing prices are so expensive. What do you think about buying a ship and using it as a house?¡± ¡°You have to be really rich. That¡¯s because they had to pay at least a six-figure management fee to dock here for a year.¡± ¡°Hiss! I was too hasty.¡± Someone suddenly shouted, ¡°Wow! Look, that ship over there is so cool! It¡¯s even cooler than the ships in movies!¡± ¡°It¡¯s so cool! It would be great if we board it and take a look.¡± ¡°Board it? Don¡¯t think about it.¡± ¡°This is Solange, a luxury yacht!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! It¡¯s Solange! I saw this yacht in a magazine two days ago. The price is 1.2 billion yuan!¡± ¡°1.2 billion? Hiss!¡± Lin Fan heard everything everyone said. He smiled and touched his nose. ¡°Since everyone likes this yacht so much, let¡¯s get on it.¡± Many of the employees looked puzzled. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°We¡¯re going to have our team-building event on this yacht today.¡± Silence! The entire scene was silent! Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with horror. One had to know¡­ They had just heard that this yacht was called Solange! It was worth 1.2 billion! Of course, even if they did not know all this, just the exterior of the yacht was enough to shock them. Yesterday, everyone already knew that they were going to hold a team-building event at sea. This made everyone extremely happy. However, everyone thought that they were just going to rent a dilapidated boat or buy tickets to hop on board a large cruise¡­ However, it turned out to be a tall luxury yacht? This¡­ Were they dreaming? Everyone was still in disbelief. At that moment, the attendants on Solange seemed to be confirming Lin Fan¡¯s words. They got off the yacht one after another, bowed, and said in an extremely respectful tone, ¡°Welcome, everyone! I wish everyone a happy time!¡± Chapter 303 - 303 Surprised; Look Down On! 303 Surprised; Look Down On! The employees of Fan Yu Investment finally boarded Solange with endless anticipation and surprise. Just by looking at the exterior of Solange, everyone was already amazed. When they arrived on the yacht, everyone¡¯s mouths were wide open. A spacious restaurant, bar, high-end KTV, spa, surround-sound cinema, heated swimming pool, luxurious lounge¡­ There was everything that one could dream of! How was this a yacht? It was a moving castle! Lin Fan said, ¡°On the yacht, everything you eat, drink, play, and use¡­ will be provided for free!¡± Then, Lin Fan said, ¡°Set sail!¡± After the engine roared, the entire luxury yacht was like a dragon that braved the wind and waves as it flew into the distance. At the same time, the employees of Fan Yu Investment cheered enthusiastically. Some of them jumped into the heated swimming pool enthusiastically. Some lay on rattan chairs and rested comfortably. Some walked into the spa to relax. ¡­ Soon, the entire luxury yacht was filled with excited discussions. ¡°Remy Martin, Ace of Hearts! There are actually tens of thousands of bottles of good liquor on the ship! Heavens!¡± ¡°Japanese beef, king crab, Australian lobster, sea cucumber, abalone¡­ Moreover, it was so delicious! It¡¯s really delicious!¡± ¡°The spa is too comfortable!¡± ¡­ Solange had just arrived at the port of Modu yesterday. It was difficult for ordinary people to store so much food and wine immediately. However, Lin Fan owned the three-star Michelin restaurant, Fumando, so it was naturally very simple. In fact, this was also the reason why everyone felt that the food was delicious. One had to know¡­ The food was cooked by a chef from a three-star Michelin restaurant. How could the taste be bad? Qin Yuxuan lay on the chair and looked at the boundless sea in the distance. She felt relaxed and happy. She listened to the sounds of the employees playing around, and her gaze fell on Lin Fan. She slowly leaned over. Happiness, satisfaction, sweetness! ¡­ In fact, Solange was not the only yacht on the sea at this time. Not far away, there was also a yacht floating. Of course, this yacht was far inferior to Solange in terms of size and luxury. A group of men and women were standing on the deck of the yacht, enjoying the sea breeze and drinking wine. Their expressions were very smug. ¡°Fine wine, delicious food, five-star suites¡­ All of them! Young Master Liu, your yacht is really good!¡± A round-faced man praised. ¡°Of course!¡± Liu Sheng said proudly. ¡°I spent 300 million yuan to buy this yacht from Brazil. There¡¯s no better yacht in the entire Modu!¡± ¡°Young Master Huang seems to be very satisfied with this yacht. Congratulations, Young Master Liu!¡± the round-faced man said. Liu Sheng said, ¡°We¡¯re all playing and having fun together. What¡¯s there to congratulate?¡± Even though he said so, the smile on his face clearly showed that he was in agreement! This was something worth congratulating! At this moment, a luxurious, magnificent, and extremely cool yacht suddenly sailed over from afar. Someone immediately shouted, ¡°F*ck!¡± What a cool yacht!¡± ¡°And it¡¯s so big!¡± ¡°This can even be called a moving castle!¡± Many people stood up and clicked their tongues in wonder. Liu Sheng¡¯s face was a little dark. He had just said that there was no yacht better than his in Modu. However, a yacht that far surpassed his appeared almost immediately? Did he have to be slapped in the face like this? At this moment, the round-faced man beside him shouted, ¡°Hey, friends, are you from Modu too? Is this a banquet?¡± An employee said, ¡°We¡¯re from Fan Yu Investment, and this is a team-building event.¡± Team-building event? The round-faced man was stunned On such a luxurious yacht? Also, he had never heard of Fan Yu Investment before. Liu Sheng¡¯s expression turned slightly better when he heard that. A team-building event for an unknown small company¡­ Then, perhaps this yacht was just for show. Moreover, it was definitely rented! Hence, Liu Sheng slowly raised his head and looked into Solange. In the next moment¡­ Liu Sheng¡¯s eyes lit up slightly as they locked onto Qin Yuxuan on the deck. What a beauty! What a perfect figure! Exquisite facial features! However, he saw Lin Fan hugging Qin Yuxuan. Liu Sheng immediately felt a strong sense of jealousy. Why? Why did such a beautiful woman become someone else¡¯s woman? Just because he was handsome? Liu Sheng took a deep breath and shouted at Lin Fan, ¡°Bro, you should have heard of Fenglin Real Estate, right? That¡¯s my family¡¯s. My name is Liu Sheng. It¡¯s rare for us to meet today. How about being friends? ¡°In the future, if you want to use a yacht, you can use this luxury yacht that I bought from Brazil for 300 million yuan.¡± The rich second-generation heirs in movies and novels were mostly unreasonable. In reality, though? Most of them were very smart like Liu Sheng. Although his target was Qin Yuxuan, he was introducing himself to Lin Fan and mentioned how powerful his family was and how they owned an expensive yacht. He believed that Lin Fan would be like a pug, wagging his tail and begging for mercy. On the other hand, Qin Yuxuan would be endlessly in love with him and want to cling to him. This¡­ was the charm of money! Liu Sheng had many similar experiences. He believed that this time would not be an exception. However¡­ What Liu Sheng did not know was that after he said those words, Lin Fan just casually glanced at him as if he was looking at an idiot. A luxury yacht worth 300 million yuan? A mere 300 million yuan was enough for a ship to be considered a luxury yacht? His yacht was worth 1.2 billion yuan! Could he not see the difference between his yacht and this one? Why was he so blindly confident? ¡°Fenglin Real Estate?¡± Lin Fan said calmly. ¡°Never heard of it. ¡°As for making friends? Not interested.¡± He was not spouting nonsense. Fenglin Real Estate was indeed quite famous in Modu. However, Lin Fan was not from Modu. Other than the famous Tomson Building, he had not heard of any other places. Liu Sheng¡¯s face darkened. He did not expect Lin Fan to reply like this. ¡°Bro, I¡¯ve already introduced myself. Aren¡¯t you looking down on me by not replying?¡± Lin Fan raised his eyes and said, ¡°You can tell? I am looking down on you a little.¡± He was not spouting nonsense. One had to know¡­ With Lin Fan¡¯s current status, there were not many people that he looked up to. Of course, under normal circumstances, Lin Fan would not say that. It was mainly because he had seen through his evil intentions for Qin Yuxuan. Since that was the case, Lin Fan naturally would not hold back either. Chapter 304 - 304 Humiliation; What Are You Fighting About?! 304 Humiliation; What Are You Fighting About?! The reason why Liu Sheng took the initiative to use his own yacht to hold this party at sea was to make himself look good in front of the rich second-generation heirs. However, look at what happened now. Now¡­ he was actually looked down upon in public. Humiliation! A blatant humiliation! Even though Liu Sheng had received the best education since he was young, he could not help but feel angry at this moment. He put away his initial amiable expression and said coldly, ¡°Kid, what did you say?!¡± Lin Fan said calmly, ¡°I said, I look down on you.¡± ¡°Very well! Kid, you have guts! In Modu, no one has ever said that to me! Fan Yu Investment? I¡¯ll remember it! I¡¯ll definitely make you regret it!¡± Liu Sheng said sternly. He had already decided that once he returned to shore, he would look for Lin Fan and teach him a lesson. At this moment, dull footsteps sounded from the cabin. ¡°What¡¯s going on outside?¡± Before the person arrived, their unhappy voice was heard. Then, a tall figure walked onto the deck. When Liu Sheng and the others saw him, they respectfully said, ¡°Hello, Young Master Huang.¡± ¡°Young Master Huang.¡± The moment Lin Fan caught sight of this person, a strange look appeared on his face. This so-called Young Master Huang was Huang Tian, whom he had met at Hu Tian¡¯s grandfather¡¯s banquet not long ago. Huang Tian only nodded slowly in response to everyone¡¯s greetings. ¡°Young Master Huang, I¡¯m sorry for disturbing you. We just met a brat who doesn¡¯t know his place¡­¡± Huang Tian looked in the direction that Liu Sheng was pointing. In the next moment¡­ Huang Tian¡¯s pupils constricted. Lin Fan! He was an existence that Huang Tian would never forget! The moment Huang Tian saw Lin Fan, he seemed to recall the scene of his father bringing him to apologize to Lin Fan. Huang Tian¡¯s butt and nose started to hurt when he thought about what happened that day. In fact, Huang Tian had come to Modu for a reason. A large part of the reason was to come out to relax so that he could forget the miserable memories of that day. In the end¡­ he actually met Lin Fan again! Liu Sheng continued, ¡°Young Master Huang, don¡¯t worry. When we return to Modu, I¡¯ll teach this dog a lesson.¡± Dog? He scolded Lin Fan, whom even his father had to treat respectfully, and called him a dog? He¡­ How dare he? He was standing together with Liu Sheng. What if Lin Fan thought that they were good friends? In fact, Lin Fan might even think that¡­ these words were instigated by him¡­ What should he do then? Huang Tian¡¯s forehead immediately broke out in a layer of sweat. If he was misunderstood, it would be a disaster¡ªa terrible disaster! ¡°Shut up!¡± Huang Tian shouted and slapped Liu Sheng¡¯s face. A crisp sound echoed on the deck. Everyone on the yacht was stunned. An obvious palm print quickly appeared on Liu Sheng¡¯s face, and his cheek gradually became red and swollen. However, Huang Tian seemed to think that it was not enough. Hence, he kicked Liu Sheng to the ground and started punching and kicking him. A moment later¡­ Huang Tian bowed and said respectfully, ¡°Mr. Lin, I have nothing to do with this guy¡­ He actually dared to insult you¡­I¡¯m sorry to have disturbed you¡­¡± Silence. The entire scene was silent. The rich second-generation heirs on the yacht all revealed obvious looks of surprise on their faces. They knew each other very well. Who was Huang Tian? Even in the entire Hua Nation, he was still a first-class young master! This was because the Huang family not only had great power in the political world but also in the business world. However¡­ Huang Tian actually beat up Liu Sheng for Mr. Lin. Then, he even took the initiative to bow and apologize to Mr. Lin? Who was this Mr. Lin? What kind of strength did he possess? Lin Fan glanced at Huang Tian and said calmly, ¡°Huang Tian, you have to be more careful when making friends in the future.¡± His tone was like that of a high and mighty elder. Huang Tian did not feel awkward at all. On the contrary, he was very happy and quickly said, ¡°Yes, yes¡­ In the future, I¡¯ll definitely be more careful.¡± ¡­ A loud whistle sounded not far away. A business yacht slowly sailed over from afar. The bald man standing on the deck laughed heartily. ¡°It really is my family¡¯s yacht!¡± This bald man was Liu Sheng¡¯s father, Liu Jianqiang. The surrounding middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes could not help but look over. The chairman of Tiantian Bank, Huang Jiayi, was also among them. Liu Jianqiang said, ¡°Chairman Huang, when we have time, let¡¯s take that yacht and go fishing at sea together. What do you think?¡± Huang Jiayi nodded. Seeing this¡­ Liu Jianqiang was secretly delighted. Then, Liu Jianqiang pointed at Liu Sheng on the yacht in the distance and said, ¡°Look, my son is up there!¡± Obviously, Liu Jianqiang was giving his son a chance to show his face. One had to know¡­ The people standing beside him all had extraordinary backgrounds! As long as his son left a small impression in their hearts, it might bring endless benefits in the future. At this moment, Liu Jianqiang saw that his son had been slapped. Then, he was punched and kicked. The smile on Liu Jianqiang¡¯s face instantly disappeared. He shouted, ¡°Why did you hit my son?!¡± This shout attracted the attention of Huang Tian, Lin Fan, and the others on the two yachts. When Lin Fan turned around, Huang Jiayi saw him too. His heart skipped a beat, and he said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin!¡± This made Liu Jianqiang, who was originally arrogant, slightly stunned. It made the others on the yacht reveal a touch of surprise. One had to know¡­ Huang Jiayi was the chairman of the largest private bank in China, Tiantian Bank. Others always treated him respectfully and kept trying to please him. When had they ever seen Huang Jiayi treat others with such respect? Moreover, it was to a young man who looked to be in his 20s. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you, Old Huang¡­¡± Lin Fan said. Old Huang? Calling the chairman of Tiantian Bank¡­ Old Huang? The middle-aged men on the business yacht were even more shocked. At the same time, they started to guess Lin Fan¡¯s identity. At this moment, Liu Sheng got up from the ground. Everyone had a temper. He was beaten up and saw his father not far away. He no longer cared about Huang Tian¡¯s and Lin Fan¡¯s identities. He pointed at the two of them and shouted, ¡°Bastards, how dare you humiliate and hit me?!¡± Chapter 305 - 305 Anger; Return! 305 Anger; Return! Huang Jiayi¡¯s face darkened. He looked at Liu Jianqiang and Liu Sheng coldly. He did not know what had happened. However, Liu Sheng actually dared to insult Lin Fan. That was unforgivable. Liu Jianqiang noticed the change in Huang Jiayi¡¯s expression, and his heart skipped a beat. When he saw how respectful Huang Jiayi was to Lin Fan, Liu Jianqiang was already thinking about how to please Lin Fan. Now¡­ what should he do? At this moment, Liu Jianqiang did not care if Liu Sheng had been beaten up. He hesitated and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, there must be a misunderstanding between you and my son. He didn¡¯t mean to scold you¡­¡± Lin Fan glanced at Liu Jianqiang and said, ¡°Misunderstanding? Did I misunderstand him for wanting to steal my girlfriend and threatening me?¡± Stealing Lin Fan¡¯s girlfriend and threatening him? What a¡­ bastard! Huang Jiayi glanced at Liu Jianqiang and Liu Sheng coldly before grunting. Liu Jianqiang¡¯s body trembled slightly as he said, ¡°C-Chairman Huang, this matter¡­¡± Huang Jiayi did not wait for him to finish and interrupted him, ¡°You don¡¯t have to say anything anymore! From now on, our Tiantian Bank will not lend a single cent to your company! ¡°In addition, the previous loans must be repaid immediately!¡± When Liu Jianqiang heard this, it was as if his strength had been instantly sucked dry, and his face was pale. One had to know¡­ His Fenglin Real Estate was short of money. Today, the main reason why he was traveling with the entrepreneurs was to get closer to the chairman of Tiantian Bank, Huang Jiayi. This would make it easier to get some loans from the bank. Now? Now, not only could he not get a loan, but he also had to repay the previous loans immediately. Liu Jianqiang felt the world spin. Liu Sheng obviously had not expected this. He said again, ¡°Our Liu family is not to be trifled with!¡± When Liu Jianqiang heard this, he was like a tiger that had been slapped on the butt. He¡­ He was completely furious. It was him. It was all this brat¡¯s fault! Otherwise, none of this would have happened! Hence, Liu Jianqiang pointed to the front and shouted, ¡°Captain, help me get close!¡± Then, Liu Jianqiang jumped in front of Liu Sheng and raised his hand to slap his face. ¡°Bastard! ¡°Who told you to cause trouble for me? ¡°Bastard!¡± As he hit, he cursed. He was furious to the extreme. Regarding what was happening¡­ Lin Fan only took a few casual glances before continuing to admire the beautiful scenery in the distance with Qin Yuxuan. Everyone in Fan Yu Investment was extremely happy and satisfied with this team-building event. At the same time, the employees became more familiar with each other and understood each other better. As for Lin Fan, he did not stay in Modu any longer. After all, he was still a student. After sending Lin Fan to the airport, Qin Yuxuan returned to the Global Financial Tower. Senior Lu sighed. ¡°Yuxuan, your boyfriend is really amazing. He actually owns the entire Global Financial Tower. Moreover, he¡¯s the major shareholder of Tiantian Bank. He also has such a luxurious yacht!¡± When Senior Lu said this, her eyes sparkled. ¡°By the way, did he take you shopping yesterday?¡± Senior Lu asked after a pause. ¡°Did he give you anything?¡± ¡°He bought me a watch.¡± As she spoke, Qin Yuxuan raised her wrist. ¡°He only bought a watch for you? Heavens! This is very pretty! How much was it?¡± Senior Lu bombarded her with questions. As a woman, she could not resist such a beautiful watch. ¡°This is a Patek Phillipe watch. It costs 31 million yuan,¡± Qin Yuxuan said. ¡°31 million!¡± Senior Lu shouted out loud. Initially, she wanted Qin Yuxuan to take off her watch for her to take a look. At this moment, she completely dispelled this thought. A watch worth 31 million yuan, what if¡­ If she accidentally knocked it to the ground, what should she do? ¡°Also, he gave me a unit in Tomson Building No. 1 to live in,¡± Qin Yuxuan added.¡± ¡°Tomson Building No. 1!¡± Senior Lu¡¯s eyes instantly widened. She had been living in Modu for a long time, so she knew how expensive a house in Tomson Building was. The price of one unit was at least 100 million! He bought a house worth more than 100 million and a watch worth 31 million. How could she not scream? After a long time, Senior Lu finally regained her composure and said, ¡°Yuxuan, does your boyfriend have a younger brother?¡± Qin Yuxuan could not help but think of her former roommate who had said something similar. She could not help but smile. ¡°He only has one sister.¡± ¡°A sister?¡± Senior Lu asked. ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t have gender preferences.¡± Qin Yuxuan was speechless. ¡­ Naturally, Lin Fan had no idea about the conversation between Qin Yuxuan and Senior Lu. After he had a good night¡¯s sleep in the first-class cabin, he arrived in Jiangbei. Then, Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz back to the Coiling Dragon Villa. He first brewed a cup of Spirit Tea. As the Spirit Tea entered his stomach, his mouth was filled with its aroma, and he felt refreshed. In an instant, all the fatigue he had felt over the past few days was swept away. Lin Fan put down his teacup and took out his phone. His gaze landed on the 3,178 red packets. The 3,100 red packets were from buying Qin Yuxuan a Patek Philippe watch. The remaining 78 red packets were from his recent expenses. ¡°3,178 red packets. Let¡¯s see what I can get,¡± Lin Fan muttered. ¡°Open!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 9 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,000 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a double shares coupon.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 10% of Omar Group¡¯s shares.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the skill¡ªTurtle Breathing Technique.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 19,999 yuan.] Lin Fan received a total of 1,321,201 yuan from these 3,178 red packets. Lin Fan chose to ignore this bit of money. He first set his eyes on the double shares coupon. Previously, Lin Fan used a double shares coupon on Penguin Group, which gave him a total of 20% of Penguin Group¡¯s shares. Wanting to give equal treatment, Lin Fan chose Little Tanuki Group this time. [Ding! The coupon was used successfully. You now own 20% of Little Tanuki Group¡¯s shares.] Instantly, he gained 10% of Little Tanuki Group¡¯s shares. Lin Fan¡¯s assets increased by another 500 billion yuan. Omar Group was the world¡¯s largest department store with a market value of 1.4 trillion yuan. 10% of the shares, which was 140 billion yuan, was not bad. Finally, Lin Fan¡¯s gaze landed on Turtle Breathing Technique. [Turtle Breathing Technique: A special skill that consumes fat, sugar, and other energy in the body to replace oxygen breathing. You don¡¯t need to breathe to live well, and from there, you can display your infinite charm!] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up slightly. Turtle Breathing Technique was definitely a very good skill! Chapter 306 - 306 Triggered; Watch the Experiment! 306 Triggered; Watch the Experiment! The next day, the weather was clear. Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz, facing the cool morning breeze as he continued forward. Soon, he arrived at Jiangbei University. It was the old professor¡¯s class in the morning. Even though Lin Fan had rested well yesterday, listening to the old professor¡¯s slow, lullaby-like lecture, he quickly fell asleep on the table. Regarding this¡­ Not only was the old professor not angry, but he even nodded at Lin Fan. That look seemed to be saying, ¡®He¡¯s the model of a good student!¡¯ After the bell rang, the morning class ended. Lin Fan, Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Jinbao walked out together. When the four of them walked to a corner up ahead, they accidentally bumped into a middle-aged professor with slightly white hair. Suddenly, the stack of documents in the middle-aged professor¡¯s hands fell to the ground. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Professor¡­¡± Ma Zhong hurriedly said. Then, he squatted down to pick up the information. Lin Fan, Zheng Jinbao, and Song Yi also bent down to help. The middle-aged professor was very amiable and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay¡­ I was thinking about something while walking and wasn¡¯t paying attention to what was in front of me.¡± When Lin Fan picked up some of the documents, he casually glanced at the information. Negative: 4Li-4e =4Li+ Positive pole: 2SOCI2 + 4e = 4CI-S +SO2 Total reaction: 4Li+2SOCI2 = 4LiCI2 +S+ S02 ¡­ ¡°Thank you,¡± said the middle-aged professor. Ma Zhong had obviously seen the information as well. He could not help but ask, ¡°Professor, are you doing a battery research project?¡± Their conversation was very short, but Lin Fan¡¯s expression changed slightly. In his mind¡­ a clear notification suddenly sounded. [Ding! Mission triggered: Watch a battery experiment (0/1). Read Battery Principles, Battery Handbook, Lithium-ion Batteries, Polymer Batteries, and Battery Structure and Principles (0/5). Reward: A super battery patent, manufacturing principle, and complete thesis.] The middle-aged professor took the materials and turned to leave. At this moment, Lin Fan said, ¡°Professor, may I know your name?¡± ¡°My surname is Zhao,¡± the middle-aged professor said. ¡°Hello, Professor Zhao. I¡¯m Lin Fan from the Mathematics Department. I¡¯m also interested in batteries. Can you take me to the laboratory to have a look? It would be best if you¡¯ll let me watch the specific experiment,¡± Lin Fan said. In fact¡­ When Professor Zhao saw Lin Fan for the first time, he felt that he was familiar. After hearing Lin Fan¡¯s self-introduction, his eyes lit up. Lin Fan from the Mathematics Department¡­ It could be said that everyone at Jiangbei University had heard of this name! It was just that Lin Fan never accepted interviews. Many people did not know what he looked like. Professor Zhao had only seen Lin Fan from afar once. Otherwise, he would have recognized Lin Fan immediately. Professor Zhao did not hesitate at all and hurriedly said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take you to the laboratory now.¡± His experiment topic was considered confidential. Lin Fan was just a mathematics student. However, so what? One had to know¡­ Lin Fan had even developed an earthquake prediction device! He was not a physics student! With a smart brain, no matter what he did, he would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort and discover things that ordinary people could not detect. Hence, Professor Zhao could not wait to bring Lin Fan into the lab. He no longer paid attention to Ma Zhong, Zheng Jinbao, and Song Yi, who were standing on the spot. After passing through the basketball court, there was a tall building in front of them. Many chemistry laboratories were located in this building. Walking along the wide corridor of the building, one could hear a dull sound from afar. Professor Zhao took the lead and pushed open the laboratory door. A tall machine came into view. Three graduate students were working on something seriously. Even when they heard the door open, they did not turn around to look. Only the old professor, who was sitting at the front and staring at the computer screen, raised his head. He first looked at Professor Zhao calmly, then glanced at Lin Fan. He did not say anything and turned his attention back to the computer screen. Professor Zhao took the initiative to introduce, ¡°Professor Li, this is Lin Fan from the Mathematics Department.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Professor Li¡¯s face, which had always been calm, was now filled with surprise. The three graduate students who had been focused on the experiment could not help but stop what they were doing and turn around to look. Lin Fan¡¯s reputation in Jiangbei University was simply too big. Professor Zhao continued, ¡°Lin Fan is also very interested in batteries. He came today to visit the laboratory and see the specific battery experiments.¡± Professor Li did not hesitate and said, ¡°Alright! We still have some unfinished tasks from our last experiment. Please wait a while.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± said Lin Fan. As expected, he only waited for a while. About five minutes later, Professor Li said, ¡°Our battery experiment can start again.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you, Professor Li,¡± Lin Fan said. Professor Li smiled. ¡°It¡¯s not troublesome at all. It¡¯s what we do.¡± Then, Professor Li said, ¡°Everyone, try to do the experiment as carefully as possible and set the standard!¡± Clearly, he wanted Lin Fan to understand more. As the experiment began, a dull sound came from the strange-looking machine. Rows of indicator lights lit up with different lights. Then, electric sparks kept jumping in the pitch-black material, making crackling sounds. At the same time, a jumping curve appeared on the computer screen. The three graduate students moved very slowly. Moreover, some of the operations that could have been skipped were carried out. Therefore, the experiment that originally only needed 30 minutes lasted for nearly 50 minutes before it slowly ended. Professor Li first took some notes on the experiment. Then, he asked, ¡°Lin Fan, how was it? Do you have any other thoughts? Or suggestions?¡± Lin Fan looked at the system mission. [Mission: Watch a battery experiment (1/1). Read Battery Principles, Battery Handbook, Lithium-ion Batteries, Polymer Batteries, and Battery Structure and Principles (0/5). Reward: A super battery patent, manufacturing principle, and complete thesis.] Obviously, the first condition of the mission had been fulfilled. Thus, Lin Fan said, ¡°I need to spend some time thinking about it.¡± Professor Li was not too surprised. He nodded and said, ¡°Batteries indeed require a lot of time and experiments to achieve certain results.¡± Chapter 307 - 307 Super Smart Watch; Name Change! 307 Super Smart Watch; Name Change! After Lin Fan was done here, he went to the library. The library of Jiangbei University was always packed with people. Lin Fan walked past the language category, mathematics category, geography category¡­ He went straight to the chemistry bookshelf. He had to admit that Jiangbei University had a very comprehensive collection of books. Lin Fan spent a few minutes to find the five books he needed¡ªBattery Principles, Battery Handbook, Lithium-ion Batteries, Polymer Batteries, and Battery Structure and Principles. He hugged the five thick books and glanced at the seats filled with people in the distance. At this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind him. ¡°I have an available seat there. Do you want it?¡± When Lin Fan heard that, he slowly turned around. A fair woman with exquisite facial features appeared in front of him. She was wearing a long dress and black-rimmed glasses. She looked very beautiful and quiet. She was Lu Ling, whom he had seen several times in the library. Lin Fan remembered that she was a physics major. He seemed to meet her every time he came to the library. Was this fate? Lin Fan rubbed his nose and said, ¡°Yeah, I do.¡± Then, under Lu Ling¡¯s lead, Lin Fan came to the seat that he had sat on several times. He could not help but wonder and asked, ¡°Do you always sit here?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t I?¡± Lu Ling asked. ¡°Of course, you can.¡± Lin Fan shrugged. Lin Fan did not continue chatting. Instead, he used his scanning ability and quickly flipped through Battery Principles which was in his hands. The sound of someone flipping through a book immediately rang out. Battery Principles was hundreds of pages long. However, Lin Fan only spent five minutes to memorize all the contents. Then, he moved on to Battery Handbook. The third book was Lithium-Ion Batteries. Instantly, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! Mission completed: Watch a battery experiment (1/1). Read Battery Principles, Battery Handbook, Lithium-ion Batteries, Polymer Batteries, and Battery Structure and Principles (5/5). You¡¯ve obtained a super battery patent, as well as the manufacturing principle and complete thesis.] In an instant, other than the five books on battery knowledge that he had just flipped through, there was a tsunami of battery knowledge in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. Lu Ling saw that Lin Fan was not flipping through books anymore and asked, ¡°Batteries? Are you studying chemistry now?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan said. Then, he looked down at the questions on Lu Ling¡¯s desk and said, ¡°You don¡¯t know this question anymore?¡± Lu Ling opened her mouth. She really wanted to say again? Alright, it was indeed again. She really wouldn¡¯t. Lin Fan could easily read her thoughts from her expression. At this moment, Lin Fan had just completed his mission and was in a good mood. Hence, he picked up his pen and easily answered the questions on it. After reading it, Lu Ling¡¯s pretty face revealed a touch of realization. Lin Fan smiled and strode toward the exit of the library. Lu Ling hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°Please wait a moment. Thank you for helping me answer the questions. I¡¯ll treat you to lunch.¡± At the mention of food, Lin Fan¡¯s stomach was indeed a little hungry. Therefore, he immediately replied, ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Ling tidied up the books on the table and went to the cafeteria with Lin Fan. Originally, Lu Ling wanted to treat Lin Fan to expensive food. However, no matter how expensive it was, could it be as expensive as what Lin Fan usually ate? Lin Fan rejected her right away. Sea cucumbers, abalones, and other such foods¡­ Sometimes, he would get sick of them too. It was also a good choice to occasionally eat the food in the cafeteria for a change. At this time, it was mealtime. There were many people in the cafeteria. After ordering some food, Lu Ling and Lin Fan found an empty seat and sat down. Lu Ling took a few mouthfuls of rice and could not help but say, ¡°Lin Fan, why are you so good at math? Is it because of interest?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not interested in mathematics,¡± said Lin Fan. Lin Fan was not lying. The reason why he entered Jiangbei University was to experience life. As for those difficult questions, it was entirely because it was convenient for him to do so, as well as because they were missions given by the system. ¡°huh?¡± Lu Ling was stunned for a moment. ¡°Then¡­ Then how did you solve so many difficult problems?¡± Obviously, after Lin Fan introduced himself last time, Lu Ling already knew his identity. ¡°Those problems?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Aren¡¯t you able to answer them by looking at them?¡± He was able to answer them just by looking? Including Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, Hail Conjecture, and Hodge Conjecture? These¡­ They were all world-class math problems! Lu Ling was completely stunned. At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket vibrated. 12:00 PM! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 18,888 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a super smart watch.] This time, Lin Fan received a total of 53,211 yuan. Lin Fan did not even want to look at this bit of money. He immediately focused his gaze on¡­ the black watch on his wrist that suddenly appeared. A super smart watch! ¡°I suddenly remembered something important¡­I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± After Lin Fan finished speaking, he walked out. He really wanted to see what this super smart watch was. Lin Fan had a strong feeling that this was definitely a good treasure! Lu Ling was left alone in the cafeteria with a blank face. Lin Fan did not go to the dormitory. Instead, he went to the Mercedes-Benz and headed toward the Coiling Dragon Villa. He sped all the way there. About 20 minutes later, Lin Fan arrived at the sofa in the Coiling Dragon Villa and sat down. Then, he turned his attention back to the super smart watch. [Super Smart Watch: An AI watch that combines protection, calculation, tracking, and other powerful abilities into one. It¡¯s absolutely loyal to its owner and helps its owner easily complete things, displaying extraordinary power.] An AI watch that combined powerful abilities such as defense, calculation, and tracking? For some reason, Lin Fan suddenly thought of Jarvis in Iron Man. Lin Fan¡¯s heart raced as he asked, ¡°A super smart watch?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here, Master. What can I do for you?¡± The watch screen lit up slightly and emitted a magnetic sound. Even though Lin Fan had heard many beautiful voices before, he was still a little weak at this moment. After a while, Lin Fan asked, ¡°Do you have a name?¡± ¡°Super Smart Watch.¡± ¡°This name¡­ doesn¡¯t sound good. I¡¯ll change it to a better name. You¡¯re all black, so you¡¯ll be called¡­ Lil White, then,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Ding! The modification was successful. Lil White Then is at your service.¡± Lin Fan was speechless. Was this really a super smart watch? Not a super silly watch? Was he expecting too much from it? Chapter 308 - 308 Sent An E-mail; Review It ASAP! 308 Sent An E-mail; Review It ASAP! Lin Fan sighed helplessly. ¡°What I meant was to change your name to Lil White and not Lil White Then.¡± The screen of the super smart watch flashed for a moment before a crisp sound came out. ¡°Ding! Modification successful! Lil White And Not Lil White Then at your service.¡± When Lin Fan heard this, his lips twitched. Idiot! This was definitely a super silly watch! Lin Fan patiently explained it to the super smart watch. That was how he changed its name to Lil White. Lin Fan then went to the washroom. When he passed by the study, he happened to see a stack of documents on the table. Out of curiosity, he casually glanced at it. ¡°Super battery patent.¡± Lin Fan muttered, ¡°Did the mission rewards come straight to my house? That¡¯s quite convenient.¡± Then, he looked at the computer beside him and said, ¡°Anyway, I don¡¯t have anything else to do, so I¡¯ll just write the thesis on this super battery first.¡± If an ordinary person wanted to write a thesis, they would definitely have to think twice. After all, it was an extremely difficult task. After spending a lot of time writing it, one still had to go through complicated and detailed modifications. However, Lin Fan was different. This thesis was given to him by the system. It could be said that it was directly engraved into his mind. There was no need for any thought or modification at all. It was incomparably perfect. Lin Fan¡¯s fingers were on the keyboard, jumping around like a phantom. In just over an hour¡­ A logically meticulous and extremely complicated thesis appeared in the Word document. Lin Fan pondered for a while and wrote his name in the first author¡¯s position. Then, he wrote Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa in the second author¡¯s position. Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa were the two professors who asked their students to do the battery experiment for him. Lin Fan was a person who knew how to repay kindness. Some small benefits? This was a thesis on super batteries! If Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa knew about this, who knew how shocked they would be? Of course, regarding this¡­ Lin Fan did not care. He casually sent the thesis to the editorial department of Science. When he was about to leave the study, he saw the super smart watch on his wrist. Hence, Lin Fan said, ¡°Lil White, can you get my thesis approved in the shortest time possible?¡± As one of the most authoritative scientific research magazines in the world, Science was the holy land in the hearts of all scientific researchers. They received countless emails every day. For most scholars, successfully publishing a paper in Science was something they were extremely proud of. In fact, they could even make a meteoric rise immediately. Therefore, the email of the editor of Science was filled with endless manuscripts all year round. Lin Fan had sent the manuscript over. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least a week or two before it could be reviewed. That was why he asked the super smart watch. ¡°No problem, Master!¡± The screen of the super smartwatch flashed slightly and emitted a crisp and pleasant sound. ¡­ In America¡­ At this time, it was early in the morning. Science¡¯s editor, Howard Theus, was lying on a soft bed with a faint smile on his face. Clearly, he was having a good dream. At this moment, the phone beside his bed suddenly rang. However, the noise did not wake Howard up. The next moment, the TV in his room suddenly turned on automatically and switched on the sound system that he had not used in a long time. Howard was so frightened that he jumped out of bed. ¡°What happened? What¡¯s wrong?¡± When he saw that it was the TV, he heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°I remember that I turned it off before I went to bed. Did I remember wrongly?¡± Howard shook his head and did not care too much. He picked up the remote control by the bed and turned it off. Then, he lay back on the bed. However, he had only laid down for a while when the TV and sound system were turned on again, and a series of ear-splitting sounds were heard. Howard jumped up again and shouted, ¡°F*ck! Is this TV crazy? I¡¯ll throw it into the trash tomorrow!¡± After saying that, Howard stood up angrily and pulled out the power cord. After going through the trouble, Howard felt a little thirsty. He got up and went to the kitchen. He poured a glass of ice water and gulped it down. Then, he returned to his room to continue sleeping. At this moment¡­ The oven, which would only make a sound after it was done roasting something, made continuous ringing noises. The washing machine, which only played light music after washing clothes, kept playing light music. The refrigerator door, which would only make a sound when it was not closed even after a long time, produced an urgent beeping sound¡­ All the electrical appliances that could make sounds rang at this moment. It was extremely noisy and hurried! Howard held his head and shouted, ¡°What the f*ck?! What¡¯s going on?¡± Then, he quickly unplugged all the electrical appliances. Just as Howard heaved a sigh of relief, the laptop in the study started playing loud music. He quickly walked into the study and raised his hand to turn off the laptop. However, Howard soon realized that he could not control the mouse at all. Even if the power was unplugged, the laptop still ran on its battery. Howard shouted angrily, ¡°If I find out who¡¯s playing this prank on me, I¡¯ll definitely make them pay!¡± At this moment, the music on the laptop suddenly stopped. At the same time, an email popped up on the screen. ¡®Principles and Applications of Super Batteries.¡¯ Howard, who was in a state of anger, only glanced at it casually at first. Not long after, however, he could not take his eyes off it. ¡°This¡­ This¡­ Could such a small battery continuously release so much electricity? ¡°If this thesis is true¡­ ¡°Super battery¡­ ¡°Super batteries will definitely change the entire mobile phone electronics industry! ¡°Whose article is this? Lin Fan from Jiangbei University? The mathematician and the genius who invented the earthquake prediction device? ¡°Oh my God!¡± Now, Lin Fan¡¯s name could be said to be well-known in the scientific research world. At this moment, Howard had completely forgotten about the unpleasantness from before. He was extremely excited. If it was Lin Fan, the value of this thesis would rise to another level. ¡°I have to ask the managing editor for permission and then look for a big shot in the industry to review it¡­¡± Then, Howard ignored the abnormality of the electrical appliances in the house and the sky that had yet to completely brighten up. He took out his phone and dialed the number of the managing editor. ¡­ Chapter 309 - 309 Science! 309 Science! The managing editor, who was sleeping, suddenly received a call. He was like a furious lion. His voice was terrifyingly low. When he saw the paper, Principles and Applications of Super Batteries, he immediately became extremely excited and praised Howard Theus. As the managing editor of Science, he knew very well what this thesis represented. Some people were extremely proud of their paper being published in Science. There were also some papers that were published by Science that made Science feel honored. This thesis on super batteries was the latter. One had to know¡­ Science was not the only top journal in the world. If they did not review and reply immediately. What if¡­ the other party felt that they had neglected him, so they decided to send the manuscript to Science¡¯s long-time rival, Nature? At that time¡­ he would definitely regret it. Therefore, the managing editor immediately forwarded Principles and Applications of Super Batteries to Professor Stephen Jenny of Hemp Rope Technology University. The next day, Hemp Rope Technology University¡¯s chemistry laboratory was bustling with activity. ¡­ Lin Fan had no idea about all of this. These few days, Lin Fan just went to school, slept, and ate. He was experiencing the leisurely life of a student. It was very relaxed and pleasant. He was relaxed, but Professor Stephen Jenny was the complete opposite. In the past few days, Professor Stephen had been experimenting and checking the theory of the super battery. Today, the experimental results finally appeared, and they were completely consistent with the data in the thesis. The thesis was¡­ correct! When the editorial department of Science received the feedback, they did not hesitate to publish the thesis and added a prominent title on the cover. ¡­ At this moment, in the headquarters of a popular mobile phone company in America. The technical director took a stack of documents and rushed to the president¡¯s office. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Kaku asked curiously. ¡°Super battery! You¡¯ll know when you see it,¡± the technical director said. One should not think that the CEO did not know anything and only knew how to give orders blindly. On the contrary, the CEO knew much more than the average person. Kaku quickly flipped through the information. After a moment, his face gradually revealed a hint of shock and solemnity. ¡°According to the thesis, the battery size of mobile phones can be reduced by at least half, but the capacity can be increased by several times! How authentic is this thesis?¡± Nowadays, cell phones were always developing in the direction of being lighter and thinner. The super battery could undoubtedly achieve the ultimate in this aspect, and it could even be said to be subversive. It was no wonder that Kaku would show such an expression. ¡°This paper was reviewed by Professor Stephen Jenny from Hemp Rope Technology University,¡± the technical director said. ¡°He¡¯s an authority figure on batteries. Also, last night, I did a few last-minute experiments according to the thesis, and the date I got was exactly the same as the data mentioned in the thesis. ¡°Therefore, there¡¯s no need to doubt the authenticity.¡± When Kaku heard this, he turned around a few times before picking up the phone on the table. ¡°Mr. Wilson, I need you to get the contact information of Lin Fan, the author of the Science thesis, Principles and Applications of Super Batteries, as soon as possible! Hurry!¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± Wilson¡¯s serious voice came from the phone. ¡­ Bangzi Country, Four Star Corporation. Chairman Lee Kangxi listened to the director¡¯s report and frowned. ¡°Super battery? Moreover, it¡¯s a super battery developed by someone in Hua Nation? You know I hate those two words!¡± After a while, Li Kangxi continued, ¡°Now, we must make two preparations. ¡°First, we need to get in touch with Lin Fan as soon as possible and try to buy the patent for the super battery. ¡°Secondly, we need to check if Lin Fan from Hua Nation is a nationality of Bangzi Country.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± the director said respectfully. ¡­ Hua Nation, Dahua Phone Group. Chairman Ran Fei had a habit of spending at least an hour a day reading the most cutting-edge scientific research reports. He knew very well that technology was the only driving force for progress. When he picked up the latest issue of Science on the table, he was quickly attracted by the title on the cover, Principles and Applications of Super Batteries. Then, Ran Fei almost buried his entire head in the journal. After a long while, he muttered to himself excitedly, ¡°The battery capacity can actually be increased by so much¡­¡± Ran Fei quickly dialed a number and said, ¡°Director Liu, have you seen the latest issue of Science?¡± ¡°You¡¯re talking about Principles and Applications of Super Batteries, right? I was just about to report this to you,¡± Director Liu said. ¡°Oh? What do you think of the thesis? Is it possible?¡± Ran Fei asked. ¡°There¡¯s no problem with the basic logic, but the specific data still needs to be verified personally,¡± Director Liu said. Ran Fei said, ¡°Put everything aside now. Form a research team of 20 to 50 people and verify the experiment in the shortest time possible!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Director Liu immediately replied. Then, Ran Fei dialed the number of the director of the Human Resources Department and said, ¡°Help me get the contact information of Lin Fan from Jiangbei University as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± the HR director said. Ran Fei paced around the office. After thinking for a moment, he made another call and said, ¡°Help me book a plane ticket to Jiangbei. The sooner the better!¡± ¡­ All the big shots in the mobile phone industry had noticed the thesis, Principles and Applications of Super Batteries. They all asked their HR department to help them find Lin Fan¡¯s contact information. However, the most they could find was Lin Fan¡¯s email address. As for his phone number and his house address, they failed to get that information. In fact, this was normal. After all, Lin Fan was a member of the Dragon Division, and his identity was encrypted. In addition, Lin Fan invented the earthquake prediction device and solved many mathematical problems. He also said that he would not accept any interviews. The officials understood that Lin Fan did not want to be disturbed. Naturally¡­ no one would know about his information. They did not manage to find his cell phone number or specific address¡­ Helpless, the senior executives of the cell phone companies could only send Lin Fan emails. However, as a young man of the 21st century, why would he check his email regularly? These emails were destined to be unseen. Chapter 310 - 310 Lin Fans a Good Role Model; Cooperate! 310 Lin Fan¡¯s a Good Role Model; Cooperate! That night, Lin Fan arrived at Yi Ke City. Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling were so happy that they did not sleep the entire night. ¡­ The next day, Lin Fan dragged his tired body to the classroom. At this time, there were still a few minutes before class started. The students around were chatting about games and television dramas, relaxed and unrestrained. The old professor strolled in after the bell rang. He cleared his throat and began his lullaby-like lecture. Lin Fan felt his eyelids sink, and he fell asleep. When the bell rang, the old professor stopped lecturing. It was also at this moment that hurried footsteps could be heard from outside the corridor. ¡°Lin Fan¡­ Is Lin Fan here?¡± The old professor and the students all looked towards the door. It was Professor Zhao Xueqin and Professor Li Rongfa, who had interacted with Lin Fan not long ago. The old professor obviously knew them and could not help but ask in puzzlement, ¡°Professor Zhao, Professor Li, why are you looking for Lin Fan?¡± It was no wonder the old professor asked. If a mathematics or physics teacher or professor came to look for Lin Fan, that was easier to understand. After all, Lin Fan was a genius in the mathematics department. Whether it was mathematics or physics, there were some complicated computational problems involved. However, the problem was that Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa were professors in the School of Chemistry! Chemistry did not require particularly complicated calculations, right? Li Rongfa said, ¡°Lin Fan¡¯s super battery thesis has been published in the latest issue of Science!¡± After he said this, his voice trembled with excitement. Li Rongfa was a chemistry professor, and he also had a deep understanding of batteries. Lin Fan even added his and Zhao Xueqin¡¯s names to the thesis. Even though it was only as second authors, it was a great honor! As Li Rongfa finished speaking, the entire classroom instantly fell silent. Nature and Science were known as the best in scientific research. Everyone who was involved in scientific research dreamed of being able to publish a thesis in those two journals. Lin Fan was a genius. However, he was a math genius! Why would he have a paper published in Science? Moreover, it was a battery thesis. Chemistry? This¡­ When did Lin Fan start researching chemistry? When the class suddenly fell into silence, Lin Fan¡¯s snoring sounded particularly abrupt. The old professor, the students, Zhao Xueqin, and Li Rongfa looked over at the sound of snoring. They all focused their gazes on Lin Fan. Everyone had the same thought, ¡®He must have stayed up the entire night last night! Outstanding people sure do work the hardest!¡¯ At this moment, Lin Fan slowly woke up from his deep sleep. He raised his head and looked at everyone¡¯s gazes. For a moment, he was at a loss. He muttered in his heart, ¡®Wasn¡¯t it fine to sleep in class in the past? What¡¯s going on today? Why is everyone looking at me?¡¯ The old professor praised sincerely, ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re truly good! You¡¯re a role model for everyone!¡± The old professor was the first to applaud. Then¡­ All the students in the class applauded. Lin Fan was stunned again. What was going on? Role model? Role model for what? Sleeping while studying? It did not seem like it. Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa hurried over. ¡°Lin Fan, your paper, Principles and Applications of Super Batteries, has been published in Science! Moreover, it even appeared on the cover!¡± As Li Rongfa spoke, he quickly showed the cover of the latest issue of Science. When the old professor and the other students heard this, the horror on their faces intensified. The cover! To be able to publish a thesis in Science was already extremely rare. Lin Fan had actually appeared on the cover! This¡­ This¡­ Compared to everyone¡¯s surprise, Lin Fan¡¯s face revealed a look of realization. How smart was he? He instantly understood that the old professor¡¯s words were indeed a compliment. Lin Fan looked at the super smart watch on his wrist and secretly gave it a thumbs-up. In just a few days, the thesis passed the review and was successfully published. Lil White¡¯s ability was not bad! Li Rongfa continued, ¡°I and Professor Zhao didn¡¯t help you at all. But you wrote our names as the second authors¡­ We don¡¯t deserve it.¡± When Li Rongfa said this, he became excited again. The old professor standing on the podium revealed a hint of envy. The cover of Science¡­ Even if it was as second author, it was still a very big deal. Lin Fan said calmly, ¡°You guys helped me by showing me the battery experiment. So, there¡¯s no problem writing it putting your names for the position of second authors.¡± They became second authors of a thesis published in Science just because they let him watch the battery experiment? The old professor said, ¡°I can do that too!¡± At this moment, another set of footsteps sounded from outside the corridor. Feng Weijian, the vice chancellor of Jiangbei University, and a square-faced middle-aged man walked in. ¡°Professor Zhao, Professor Li, Professor Wang, you¡¯re all here.¡± Feng Weijian smiled. Then, he looked at Lin Fan and pointed at the square-faced man beside him, ¡°Lin Fan, this is Mr. Ran Fei, the chairman of Dahua Phone Group. He says he has something to discuss with you.¡± ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin,¡± Ran Fei said hurriedly. Lin Fan said, ¡°Hello, Chairman Ran. May I know why you¡¯re looking for me?¡± Ran Fei hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°I want to start a cooperation with you on the super battery.¡± Silence. The entire classroom fell silent again. Previously, the students only thought that Lin Fan was able to publish a thesis on Science and that it was an amazing thing. Most of them admired him for it. At this moment, they were filled with envy. It could even be said that they were jealous. One had to know¡­ Dahua Phone Group was the leading company in the entire communications industry in Hua Nation. Dahua Phone Group was not listed, but according to external estimates, its market value was at least two trillion yuan. The chairman of such a large company actually came over personally to discuss cooperation because of Lin Fan¡¯s super battery. How much compensation would that be? 100 million? 300 million? More? When the students thought of this, they felt their throats go dry. Regarding this¡­ Lin Fan said calmly, ¡°Cooperation? Sure.¡± In fact, he could also choose to build his own company or factory. However, just thinking about it made Lin Fan feel troubled. In addition, Dahua Phone Company¡¯s reputation had always been good, so it was worth working with them. ¡°Then why don¡¯t we go somewhere else to talk?¡± Ran Fei said happily. ¡°After all, I still have to get the company to send the corresponding information and contract over by fax.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± Chapter 311 - 311 Choice; Shock! 311 Choice; Shock! Under the envious gazes of the students, Lin Fan and Ran Fei walked out together. Soon, they arrived at Feng Weijian¡¯s office. Ran Fei had also come into contact with many young geniuses. However, no matter how talented these young people were, they would still be somewhat restrained in front of him. Ran Fei believed that there were two reasons for this. Firstly, there was a difference in wealth. Secondly, it was the difference in social status. From the moment he saw Lin Fan in the classroom, Ran Fei had been observing him secretly. Ran Fei realized that Lin Fan¡¯s expression was extremely relaxed and calm. He could not help but praise the genius who solved several math problems and invented the earthquake prediction device and super battery. He was indeed different. In fact¡­ It was normal for Lin Fan to have such a reaction. Speaking of wealth¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s wealth far surpassed Ran Fei¡¯s. In terms of social status¡­ Lin Fan was the second largest shareholder of Penguin Group and Little Tanuki Group. He was also the largest shareholder of Imperial Hotel, Yinshan Group, Xiao Wu Wholesale City, and so on. He was also the captain of the Dragon Division. In addition, Lin Fan was also on good terms with Qin Weiming, Zhou Guotao, and the other elders. In terms of social status, Ran Fei did not hold a candle to him. This was equivalent to a superior and a subordinate walking together. How could Lin Fan be nervous? Ran Fei sat down and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, you should know that our Dahua Phone Group is divided into two business segments. The first is communication equipment, and the second is smartphones.¡± Lin Fan saw that Ran Fei was about to say something and interrupted, ¡°Chairman Ran, you just said that you want to cooperate with me on my super battery.¡± Ran Fei immediately understood that Lin Fan did not like to beat about the bush. ¡°I know about the super battery,¡± he said. ¡°You must have spent a lot of effort to invent it. So, we don¡¯t plan to buy the patent right away.¡± No, Ran Fei was thinking too much. Lin Fan only spent about an hour watching the battery experiment and reading a few battery-related books. Ran Fei continued, ¡°I¡¯ve prepared two ways of cooperation for the time being. Mr. Lin, take a listen to it first. Of course, you can also state your requirements. ¡°The first option is for Dahua Phone Group to spend 500 million yuan and obtain the right to use the super battery for ten years. You can continue to sign corresponding cooperation agreements with other companies. ¡°The second option is for our Dahua Phone Group to spend 1.5 billion yuan to obtain the exclusive rights to the super battery for ten years. Other companies who want to use the super battery will need to sign a contract with our Da Hua Phone Group.¡± Vice Chancellor Feng Weijian, who was sitting next to them and had been silent all this while, trembled slightly as he held the glass of water. 500 million! 1.5 billion! Feng Weijian had seen a lot of the world. However, he was still shocked by such a large number. Lin Fan¡¯s face was still calm as he said, ¡°I¡¯ll go for the second option.¡± This was not because Lin Fan felt that 1.5 billion was a lot of money and that was why he chose it. One had to know¡­ 1.5 billion was only the price of a high-end office building. Lin Fan had a few such office buildings. In addition, Lin Fan had several billion yuan in his own account. The real reason was that Lin Fan felt that it was too troublesome to sign contracts with different companies. Gulp! Feng Weijian, who was sitting at the side, could not help but swallow his saliva. 1.5 billion! Ran Fei took a deep breath and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get someone to send the contract over now.¡± Although the technical director had already done several experiments to prove that there was no problem with the thesis data, the 1.5 billion patent fee was still a huge gamble for Ran Fei! It would be fine if no one could invent a better battery in the next few years. If someone invented a better battery soon, it would definitely be a blow to Dahua Phone Group. After a series of crisp sounds from the fax machine, three warm copies of the contract appeared in Ran Fei¡¯s hands. Ran Fei first spent about 20 minutes carefully checking the contract before handing a copy to Lin Fan. He said, ¡°Mr. Lin, please take a look.¡± Compared to Ran Fei¡¯s meticulous manner, Lin Fan was much more casual. Lin Fan quickly flipped through the contract. After a few seconds, he stopped and said, ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no problem with the contract. Shall we sign it directly?¡± Ran Fei was slightly stunned. No problem? Was he not going to take a look? He did it so casually? This was a 1.5 billion contract! Ran Fei did not know that Lin Fan had a scanning ability. Although Lin Fan only spent a short time reading it, his understanding of the contents of the contract far exceeded Ran Fei¡¯s. Even if he wanted Lin Fan to recite the contents of the contract, it would not be a problem. Seeing that Ran Fei did not reply, Lin Fan asked, ¡°What else do we need to wait for?¡± ¡°No, no, no. There¡¯s no need. You can sign it now,¡± Ran Fei replied. Lin Fan nodded. He picked up the pen on the table and quickly signed his name. Ran Fei also signed his name and stamped the official seal he carried with him. Feng Zijian, who was sitting at the side, swallowed his saliva again. A 1.5 billion sky-high contract was completed in front of him just like that? He felt that it was so unreal. ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯ve already asked the finance department to transfer the money to you. It should arrive soon,¡± Ran Fei said. Lin Fan nodded his head casually and did not really mind. Sure enough, after a while, the phone in his pocket vibrated. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 1.5 billion yuan was deposited into your account.] Lin Fan waved his phone and said, ¡°It¡¯s in my account.¡± Ran Fei took the initiative to extend his hand and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, it¡¯s a pleasure to cooperate.¡± At this moment, Lin Fan stretched out his hand and said, ¡°To a happy cooperation.¡± ¡­ The news of Dahua Phone Group spending 1.5 billion yuan on the patent for the super battery quickly spread. This time, it was not just the mobile electronics industry that was shaken. The entire internet was shaken as well. On Weibo. Love of a Lifetime: [1.5 billion? Heavens! Oh my god! How could a patent be so valuable?] Fat Monkey King: [I finally understand why the elderly always said that education is important. From now on, I¡¯ll study hard! When a beauty comes to chat with me, I¡¯ll kick her away because I want to study hard! If the beauty invites me to drink milk tea, I¡¯ll reject her directly because I want to study hard. If the beauty asks me to watch a movie with her, I¡¯ll tear up the movie ticket because I want to study hard! Women will only affect my studies!] You, Me, Him: [The commenter above¡­ What are you thinking? Why would a beauty look for you?] Chapter 312 - 312 Heading to Li City; Delicious! 312 Heading to Li City; Delicious! Shadowless: [1.5 billion! When can I earn a fraction of it?] Happy Happy: [Did you notice who signed the super battery patent contract with Dahua Phone Group? It¡¯s Lin Fan! The Lin Fan who solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, and Hail Conjecture!] Golden Goldfish: [F*ck it!] Likes Chuzheng: [F*ck!] Loved for Life: [F*ck!] Coming and Going: [He has solved several unsolved math problems, invented an earthquake prediction device, and now developed a super battery. He has also obtained a 1.5 billion patent license¡­ Reality is constantly reminding me that I¡¯m only here to make up the numbers!] ¡­ As for the discussions online, Lin Fan was completely ignorant. After signing the contract with Ran Fei, the chairman of Dahua Phone Group, he drove his Mercedes-Benz to the airport. Then, he boarded the latest flight to Li City. It was because just now¡­ Su Ningjing sent a message saying that some people from Magpie Coffee wanted to buy their coffee beans. Magpie Coffee was the world¡¯s largest coffee company. Generally speaking, they would not do anything like forcing people to buy or sell. However, this was under normal circumstances. Lin Fan knew that these coffee beans were obtained from the system. Lin Fan would not be surprised by how good their taste was. Spirit Tea¡­ was the best example. If Magpie Coffee discovered the magical properties of the coffee beans, it was hard to say what they would do. Lin Fan was afraid that Su Ningjing would not be able to handle it and was even more afraid that she would get hurt. That was why he came to Li City personally. Lin Fan drove the Porsche that had been parked at the airport for nearly two months and sped along the winding mountain road. About two hours later, a short house finally appeared in his sight. Lin Fan had just parked his car when a little girl with pigtails ran out and said happily, ¡°Elder Brother, it¡¯s Elder Brother! Brother is here!¡± As Ah Mei finished speaking, the woman with jet-black hair and beautiful eyes that sparkled like gems stuck her head out. It was Su Ningjing. Today, Su Ningjing was wearing a white shirt and a plaid apron around her waist. Her already voluptuous figure looked even curvier under the contrast of her clothes. Su Ningjing had been living in the mountain village for the past two months. However, her skin did not show any signs of aging or coarseness. It was because Lin Fan had given her a lot of beauty essence. In addition, because Su Ningjing had always lived in the mountain village, her body had a unique and pure aura. ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re here?¡± Su Ningjing let out a sound like the sound of spring water. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m here.¡± Su Ningjing seemed to be attracted by him. She quickly walked toward Lin Fan and threw herself into his arms. After a while, Su Ningjing seemed to realize that Ah Mei was still beside her. Hence, she quickly broke free from Lin Fan¡¯s embrace and said with a red face, ¡°Uhh¡­ I¡¯ve already prepared my meal. Let¡¯s go eat first.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied. At the same time, he grabbed Su Ningjing¡¯s slender hand. Su Ningjing looked at her younger sister who was watching her from the side. She was a little shy and wanted to break free. However, Lin Fan increased the strength of his grip. Instantly, Su Ningjing was completely enveloped in shyness and sweetness. At this moment, there were green pepper scrambled eggs, mushroom egg soup, small fish, and other dishes on the table. Lin Fan sniffed the fragrance of the dishes, and the familiar scent immediately surged into his heart. This was the smell of his grandmother¡¯s cooking when he was young. His appetite was immediately whetted. Back then, Lin Fan had asked Su Ningjing to stay in the Coiling Dragon Villa to clean the place¡­ The biggest attributing factor to why she was hired was that she could replicate the taste of Lin Fan¡¯s grandmother¡¯s cooking. Lin Fan did not stand on ceremony. He sat down and picked up his chopsticks to eat. However, he quickly noticed Su Ningjing, Ah Mei, and the old lady not moving. He immediately recalled that the custom here was for the men to eat first while the women ate the leftovers. Lin Fan said, ¡°Grandma, Ningjing, Sis¡­ Didn¡¯t we already agree the last time? Times are different now. At least when you eat with me, you don¡¯t have to be like this.¡± The old lady hesitated for a moment before nodding. ¡°Ningjing, Ah Mei¡­ let¡¯s have the meal together.¡± When Lin Fan heard this, he could not help but let out a smile. He was very happy and satisfied with the meal. Lin Fan lay on the bamboo chair and looked at the sun that was setting in the distance. He was extremely satisfied. Suddenly, Lin Fan seemed to have thought of something and asked, ¡°By the way, how¡¯s the taste of the coffee beans?¡± ¡°It¡¯s delicious!¡± Su Ning said. ¡°Grandma, Ah Mei, and the villagers all said it¡¯s delicious.¡± When Su Ningjing mentioned the coffee beans, a smile appeared on her pretty face. The beans were something that Lin Fan had left behind in the village. In her eyes, they were like her own children. The more people liked them, the happier she was. After a pause, Su Ningjing said, ¡°I¡¯ll brew you a cup right now.¡± After a while, Su Ningjing walked over with a porcelain cup. Inside¡­ was a cup of freshly brewed coffee. Even though Lin Fan had not drunk it yet, he was already attracted by its rich fragrance. Under Su Ningjing¡¯s expectant gaze, Lin Fan finally poured the coffee into his mouth. As soon as the coffee entered his mouth, it felt like a soft ribbon had slid down his throat. At the same time, Lin Fan seemed to hear the sound of flowing water and smell the fragrance of the grass in the forest¡­ Silky and sweet! After a while, Su Ningjing could not help but ask, ¡°How does it taste?¡± Lin Fan nodded seriously. ¡°It¡¯s good!¡± Although it was only two words, it made Su Ningjing feel as if she had eaten a candied fruit. Her heart felt sweet. As night fell, the elderly and child had already fallen asleep. Su Ningjing came to Lin Fan¡¯s room and helped him lay out new sheets and blankets. Just as Su Ningjing was about to turn around and leave, Lin Fan gently pulled her into his embrace. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ After a short separation, the couple seemed like newlyweds. ¡­ The next day, at dawn, a rooster came to a high place with its head held high and let out a loud cry as if to prove its existence. Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes and looked at his phone. A text message appeared on the screen as usual. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,120,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Lin Fan muttered in his heart, ¡®This time, I¡¯m at another place. Let¡¯s see what I can get when signing in.] ¡°Check in.¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10% shares of Magpie Coffee.] Chapter 313 - 313 Youre a Bad Person! 313 You¡¯re a Bad Person! When Lin Fan heard the system notification, a weird look appeared on his face. If he remembered correctly, it was Magpie Coffee that wanted to buy their coffee beans, right? Now, he directly owned 10% shares of Magpie Coffee? One had to know¡­ The first shareholder of Magpie Coffee had 23% of the shares, while the second shareholder only had 8% of the shares. Thus, he had become the second shareholder? In the past, he often heard others say that one could become a shareholder by speculating in stocks. This time¡­ had he been acquired and become a shareholder? Lin Fan shook his head and tossed this small matter to the back of his mind. He slowly got up and walked out. At this moment, the sun was rising from the mountains in the distance. It gradually emitted a warm and gentle light. Coupled with the gentle breeze and sweet air, it made him feel extremely relaxed. At this moment, Su Ningjing walked over. When Lin Fan heard her voice, he raised his hand and hugged her slender waist. There was beautiful nature in front of him and a beautiful woman hugging him. Everything was so wonderful. Time¡­ It was as if the pause button had been pressed at this moment. After an unknown period of time, a crisp voice sounded behind them. ¡°Sister, Brother, it¡¯s time for breakfast!¡± In an instant, Su Ningjing¡¯s pretty face turned red. She reflexively tried to break free from Lin Fan¡¯s embrace. Just like yesterday, Lin Fan held her hand tightly. Strong and warm, it made her feel at ease and happy. For breakfast, Su Ningjing made sweet potatoes, yam, and corn and cooked up a few eggs that were taken from the chicken coop. The meal was simple and delicious. Just as they finished breakfast, a car roared outside. Then, three men in suits and leather shoes strode in. The man at the front looked at Su Ningjing. Although he had already seen Su Ningjing¡¯s beautiful face yesterday, when he saw it again, he was still stunned. His face was filled with fascination. He had never thought that there would be such a beautiful woman in the mountain village. ¡°Ms. Su, have you thought about the one million yuan we offered to buy your coffee beans yesterday?¡± the man asked after a while. One million? They wanted to buy the coffee beans from the system for one million? This was a joke. ¡°Not really!¡± Lin Fan replied immediately. The man frowned slightly. He seemed to have just realized that a man had appeared. ¡°Who are you?¡± Lin Fan skillfully held Su Ningjing¡¯s slender waist and said, ¡°Ningjing¡¯s boyfriend, Lin Fan.¡± Even though Su Ningjing had already given everything to Lin Fan, she was hugged by Lin Fan in front of everyone. He even said that he was her boyfriend. It still made her extremely shy. Her pretty face was like a ripe red apple, and she wished she could bury her little head in a hole. When the man saw this, his face darkened. After seeing Su Ningjing yesterday, he had already been secretly thinking about how to woo her. However, she actually had a boyfriend?! The man took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He said, ¡°Ms. Su, I know that you grew up in this mountain village and are very innocent. This is a rare quality. ¡°However, I hope you understand that some people are not as innocent as you.¡± As the man said this, his gaze landed on Lin Fan. The meaning of this sentence was obvious. ¡°Mr. Lin, I don¡¯t seem to have seen you in the village before. Yesterday, Magpie Coffee wanted to buy Ms. Su¡¯s coffee beans at a high price of one million. Today, you immediately appeared¡­¡± These words were clearly trying to sow discord and plant the seeds of distrust in Su Ningjing¡¯s heart. ¡°Magpie Coffee not only has good coffee, but we also uphold a culture of innocence and efficiency,¡± the man continued. ¡°Ms. Su is the owner of this coffee plantation. We want to carry out the negotiation process efficiently. Magpie Coffee would like to talk to Ms. Su in private¡­ We¡¯re willing to pay a price higher than yesterday¡¯s price¡­ Ms. Smith, what do you think?¡± First, he instigated discord and planted the seeds of distrust. Then, he let money do the talking¡­ If it were someone else, they would probably follow the man¡¯s words and choose to discuss with him alone. Unfortunately, he met Su Ningjing today. In fact¡­ When the man said the first sentence, Su Ningjing already wanted to retort. However, Lin Fan gave her a look and told her not to say anything. That was why the man continued speaking. At this moment, Su Ningjing could no longer hold it in and said angrily, ¡°Our family doesn¡¯t welcome you, nor will we do business with you. Please leave!¡± The man stiffened slightly. He did not expect Su Ningjing to have such a big reaction and was at a loss for what to do. Lin Fan gently patted Su Ningjing¡¯s waist and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know if I¡¯m innocent or not¡­However, you mentioned an efficient negotiation method just now, so there¡¯s no problem for you to negotiate with me. ¡°Because I planted all the coffee here.¡± The man looked at Lin Fan suspiciously. Ah Mei, who was at the side, also felt the man¡¯s hostility toward Lin Fan. She said angrily, ¡°Brother took two days to plant everything before he was done! He was so tired! You¡¯re a bad person!¡± When the man heard that, he finally believed that Lin Fan had planted the coffee. After all, children usually would not lie. ¡°Mr. Lin, right? Let me introduce myself first. I¡¯m Zhu Yuanhui, the manager of the Southern Hua Nation region of Magpie Coffee.¡± When he spoke, he raised his head and faced Lin Fan. He was extremely arrogant. Zhu Yuanhui continued, ¡°Our Magpie Coffee is prepared to buy your coffee for one million yuan. What do you think?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not interested,¡± Lin Fan said calmly. Zhu Yuanhui thought that Lin Fan was trying to raise the price. He laughed coldly. ¡°Mr. Lin, this is the highest price we can offer you. Don¡¯t even think about raising the price. ¡°Perhaps you don¡¯t know much about Magpie Coffee, so let me give you a simple introduction. ¡°Magpie Coffee is the largest coffee company in the world, with a total market value of more than a trillion! It¡¯s inextricably linked to all the companies in the world! ¡°If Magpie Coffee doesn¡¯t buy your coffee beans, then I can guarantee that your coffee beans won¡¯t be able to go out of this mountain! ¡°Don¡¯t think that you can sell coffee beans online now that the internet is developed. That¡¯s also wishful thinking! That¡¯s because we, Magpie Coffee, have a deep partnership with Penguin Group, Little Tanuki Group, Alphabet Group, and other giant internet companies!¡± Chapter 314 - 314 Brother; Youre Too Awesome! 314 Brother; You¡¯re Too Awesome! After Zhu Yuanhui said these words, his expression became even more arrogant, and his nose was pointed so high up that it almost reached the sky. He believed that this young man named Lin Fan knew what Little Tanuki Group, Penguin Group, and Alphabet Group represented. At the same time, he would also understand the meaning of a market value of more than trillions! He could almost see Lin Fan hunching over and begging him to buy his coffee beans. Zhu Yuanhui was even considering whether he should lower the price later. However, Zhu Yuanhui did not notice that Lin Fan¡¯s face was full of mockery after he said those words. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID, and a strange expression appeared on his face. That was because the caller was the person Zhu Yuanhui had just mentioned, Chairman Zhang Daming. In the eyes of outsiders, the internet was a very mysterious place. However, in the eyes of professionals, there were no secrets. Ever since Lin Fan obtained 5% of the shares of the Alphabet Group, Zhang Daming had been paying close attention to Lin Fan. Soon, he found out that Lin Fan owned 5% of Penguin Group¡¯s and Little Tanuki Group¡¯s shares. Gradually, Lin Fan¡¯s shares in Penguin Group and Little Tanuki Group became 10%. Not long ago, that figure reached 20%! Lin Fan kept increasing his shares in Penguin and Ah-Ri, but would he increase his shares in Alphabet? Zhang Daming did not know, but he had a vague guess in his heart. Therefore, he had been a little anxious these days. Finally, Zhang Daming mustered up his courage and called Lin Fan, trying to get close to him. ¡°Mr. Lin, how have you been?¡± As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Daming¡¯s hearty laughter rang out. ¡°I¡¯m doing pretty well too. I¡¯m doing just as well as the recent developments of our Alphabet! Mr. Lin, our Alphabet is preparing to launch a few more projects, but I wonder what the prospects are. I wonder if you¡¯re free to come to Alphabet¡¯s headquarters? It¡¯s also good for us to check in with you,¡± Zhang Daming said. Lin Fan was a smart person and naturally knew what Zhang Daming meant. He waved his hand and said, ¡°I won¡¯t do that. Besides, I don¡¯t know anything. I believe that you¡¯ll develop Alphabet well.¡± When Zhang Daming heard this, he was extremely happy. However, he still said, ¡°Mr. Lin, you¡¯re too humble.¡± At this moment, Lin Fan seemed to have thought of something and asked, ¡°By the way, is Alphabet working with Magpie Coffee?¡± Zhang Daming did not know why Lin Fan would ask this. However, he still told the truth, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°I planted a batch of good coffee beans. Zhu Yuanhui, the manager of the Southern Hua Nation region of Magpie Coffee, said that if I don¡¯t sell them, he¡¯ll make sure that my coffee beans won¡¯t leave the mountain¡­¡± Zhang Daming¡¯s heart skipped a beat. If Mr. Lin refused to sell the coffee, he would not be able to sell them outside the mountain? Threatening Lin Fan? Someone actually threatened Lin Fan, who held 5% of Alphabet¡¯s shares and 20% each of Little Tanuki and Penguin¡¯s shares?! Zhu Yuanhui¡­ was really¡­ bold! How bold! He had just said that Alphabet had a collaboration with Magpie Coffee. If Lin Fan misunderstood¡­ The consequences¡­ Zhang Daming¡¯s heart jumped again, and he quickly said, ¡°Mr. Lin, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely get Magpie Coffee to give you a satisfactory answer!¡± ¡°Alright,¡± said Lin Fan. Then, he hung up. Zhu Yuanhui, who was standing at the side, sneered, ¡°Alphabet? Could this be a call from the leader of Alphabet? Oh, no, no. According to your tone on the phone just now, you seem to be a senior executive of Alphabet.¡± Lin Fan said lightly, ¡°I was on a call with the chairman of Alphabet, Zhang Daming. However, I¡¯m not a senior executive of Alphabet Jump. I¡¯m just a shareholder.¡± When Zhu Yuanhui heard Lin Fan¡¯s words, he laughed out loud. ¡°Hahaha! Bro, you really know how to brag! Zhang Daming? You, a shareholder? Hahaha!¡± Lin Fan¡¯s expression remained calm. He was about to say something when his phone rang again. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was President Ma from Penguin Group. These days, Xiao Ma was always alone and worried. Lin Fan had already raised his shares in Penguin to 20%. With such a rapid increase in shares, Lin Fan would become the biggest shareholder of Penguin and the real boss! Xiao Ma also felt that it was possible. As the chairman of the board, President Ma had only met Lin Fan twice and did not know his personality. In President Ma¡¯s opinion, this was a very dangerous thing. Therefore, these days¡­ President Ma had been looking for an opportunity to contact Lin Fan. Today, he finally had an opportunity! ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin!¡± President Ma said. Lin Fan said, ¡°Hello, President Ma.¡± He did not wait for the president to speak and said directly, ¡°President Ma, does Penguin Group have a partnership with Magpie Coffee?¡± When President Ma heard Lin Fan¡¯s question, he was very happy. He was not afraid of Lin Fan having too many questions for him, but he was afraid of not being able to communicate with Lin Fan. He typed quickly on the keyboard, and soon, the information about Penguin¡¯s cooperation with Magpie Coffee appeared clearly on the screen. Hence, President Ma said, ¡°Our Penguin Group owns 10% of Hua Nation¡¯s shares of Magpie Coffee. In addition, the advertising and publicity of Magpie Coffee are all handled by us.¡± President Ma briefly explained the situation in the form of a report. ¡°I planted some coffee in the mountains of Li City,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Now, Zhu Yuanhui, the manager of the Southern Hua Nation region of Magpie Coffee, said that if I don¡¯t sell it to him, he¡¯ll immediately make sure that my coffee beans can¡¯t leave the mountain.¡± Penguin Group and Magpie Coffee had such deep cooperation. However, Zhu Yuanhui, the South Hua Nation regional manager of Magpie Coffee, threatened Lin Fan?! President Ma wanted to get closer to Lin Fan with this call! Now¡­ it was completely ruined! Zhu Yuanhui was simply¡­ a bastard! President Ma stood up in anger and said seriously, ¡°Mr. Lin, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely get Magpie Coffee to give you a satisfactory reply.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± said Lin Fan. After saying that, he hung up the phone. Zhu Yuanhui could not help but laugh. ¡°President Ma? Don¡¯t tell me that the person who just called you was President Ma of Penguin Group? You¡¯re not going to say that you¡¯re a shareholder of Penguin Group, are you?¡± Lin Fan raised his eyes and said, ¡°I am.¡± ¡°Awesome, hahaha! Brother, you¡¯re really too awesome, hahaha!¡± After Zhu Yuanhui heard that, he laughed so hard that he bent over. He thought that Lin Fan would use another way to brag, but he did not expect him to use the same old trick. Chapter 315 - 315 Not Strange; Nice to Meet You, President! 315 Not Strange; Nice to Meet You, President! Amidst Zhu Yuanhui¡¯s maniacal laughter, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang again. This time, it was from President Ma of Little Tanuki Group. President Da Ma¡¯s thoughts were similar to President Xiao Ma. He also wanted to communicate with his future boss as much as possible. Lin Fan had already received calls from Zhang Daming and President Xiao Ma. It was not strange for him to receive a call from President Da Ma. Hence, he pressed the answer button. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin!¡± President Ma said happily. Lin Fan did not bother to say anything more and just asked, ¡°President Ma, is there a partnership between Little Tanuki Group and Magpie Coffee?¡± President Ma instinctively felt that Lin Fan¡¯s tone was a little off. He thought for a moment and said,¡± Magpie Coffee is the largest coffee dealer in the world. In order to open up the Hua Nation market, the chairman of Magpie Coffee personally came to our Little Tanuki Group and spent a lot of money to set up a flagship store and carry out a series of activities and promotions¡­¡± His explanation was very simple. Magpie Coffee and Ah Li Group did have a partnership. However, it was only a simple business cooperation. Clearly, he was giving himself some leeway. This was definitely a smart move. Lin Fan understood the meaning behind his words and did not mind it. He said calmly, ¡°I planted some coffee. Zhu Yuanhui, the regional manager of the Southern Hua Nation of Magpie Coffee, just told me that if I don¡¯t let him buy it, he¡¯ll make sure that my coffee beans will never leave the mountain.¡± President Ma¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly as he thought, ¡®Fortunately, I was smart and didn¡¯t point out the deep cooperation between Magpie Coffee and Little Tanuki Group.¡¯ Otherwise, would Lin Fan not vent his anger on him? ¡°How exactly is Magpie Coffee managing their employees? It¡¯s simply chaos! Zhu Yuanhui, the regional manager for the Southern Hua Nation? ¡°Mr. Lin, please wait a moment. I¡¯ll get Magpie Coffee to give you an explanation!¡± ¡°Alright,¡± said Lin Fan. After hanging up the phone¡­ Zhu Yuanhui held back his laughter and said, ¡°Was that a call from President Ma, the chairman of Little Tanuki Group? And you¡¯re also a shareholder of Little Tanuki Group?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan said. After Zhu Yuanhui heard Lin Fan¡¯s answer, he laughed until tears flowed out. ¡°What should I do now? I¡¯m so scared. Really, I¡¯m so scared¡­Hahaha!¡± Zhu Yuanhui could not help but laugh. ¡°Bro, since you¡¯re already a shareholder of so many giant companies, you wouldn¡¯t mind becoming a shareholder of Magpie Coffee too, right? Let¡¯s have the president of Magpie Coffee give me a call. I¡¯ve never spoken to the president before. Let me experience it¡­ Hahaha!¡± At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang again. This time, it was an unknown number from overseas. Lin Fan casually pressed the answer button. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin¡­¡± There was a burst of words in broken Hua Nation language being said over the phone. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± A magnetic voice was heard. ¡°The person who just spoke was Mr. George Davis, the president of Magpie Coffee. I¡¯m his secretary and interpreter, Luo Fang.¡± Lin Fan glanced at Zhu Yuanhui and said, ¡°This call came at the right time. Zhu Yuanhui, the manager of the Southern Hua Nation region, happens to be forcefully purchasing the coffee beans I planted myself.¡± Then, Lin Fan pressed the speaker button and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to experience talking to your president?¡± ¡°Really?¡± Zhu Yuanhui laughed again. ¡°Did he already call? Hahaha! Good!¡± At this moment, Luo Fang had already translated Lin Fan¡¯s words to George Davis. How smart was George Davis to be able to make Magpie Coffee the number one coffee company in the world? After thinking about it for a while, he knew the general situation. At this moment, Zhu Yuanhui shouted into the phone, ¡°Are you the president of our Magpie Coffee?¡± ¡°I¡¯m the president¡¯s secretary and interpreter,¡± Luo Fang said. ¡°Hahaha! There¡¯s also a secretary and an interpreter. Amazing, amazing! Hahaha!¡± Zhu Yuanhui roared with laughter. ¡°In this case¡­ Tell that bullsh*t president that Lin Fan¡¯s coffee beans will either be bought for one million or they¡¯ll never leave the mountain! ¡°It¡¯s useless even if Jesus comes!¡± After saying that, Zhu Yuanhui overstepped his authority and directly pressed the button to end the call. Then, he laughed even harder and almost fell to the ground. If the first phone call was really from the president of Alphabet, Zhang Daming, Zhu Yuanhui would still believe it a little. However, the second call was from President Xiao Ma of Penguin Group, the third call was from President Da Ma of Little Tanuki Group, and the fourth call was from the secretary and interpreter of the president of Magpie Coffee¡­ His little bit of faith was completely shattered. One had to know¡­ Alphabet, Penguin, and Little Tanuki were the three giants of Hua Nation¡¯s internet industry. It would still be believable if someone knew people from those companies. However, if someone said that they were a shareholder of the three companies, that would definitely be a joke. In the end, Lin Fan even said that the secretary and interpreter of the president of Magpie Coffee called. The president of Magpie Coffee did not need an interpreter. He was from Hua Nation! All of this meant that Lin Fan had been bragging from the start! How awesome! However¡­ Zhu Yuanhui did not know that the president he was thinking of was only the president of the Hua Nation region of Magpie Coffee. Naturally, this person did not have an interpreter. Lin Fan received a call from the president of the main company of Magpie Coffee. It was normal for him to have an interpreter. Just as Zhu Yuanhui was about to fall to the ground laughing, the phone in his pocket rang. Zhu Yuanhui slowly took out his phone. When he saw the caller ID, his expression turned solemn. It was because the caller was actually the president of the Hua Nation region, Wang Heping! Zhu Yuanhui had once seen the contact information of the higher-ups of Magpie Coffee on the internal network. Without any hesitation, he added all of them to his contact list in case it would be useful in the future. Now, it really came in handy! Moreover, it was the high and mighty president who called personally! What kind of honor was this? Could it be that the president was going to promote him? Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanhui¡¯s heart was filled with excitement. He quickly straightened his clothes, cleared his throat, walked to the side, and said in a tone that was full of worship, ¡°Hello, President. I¡¯m Zhu Yuanhui, the regional manager of the Southern Hua Nation for Magpie Coffee.¡± First, he took the initiative to greet him, and then, he introduced himself. Zhu Yuanhui was already imagining the president¡¯s compliments. However¡­ A deafening roar immediately sounded from the other end of the phone. ¡°Zhu Yuanhui, f*ck you!¡± Chapter 316 - 316 Apologize; Beg for Mercy! 316 Apologize; Beg for Mercy! This sentence¡­ Zhu Yuanhui was stunned. He stood rooted to the ground and did not know what to do. After a while, he stuttered, ¡°P-President, what¡¯s wrong?¡± When the president heard Zhu Yuanhui¡¯s voice, he was annoyed and roared. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Zhu Yuanhui, you bastard, you still have the face to ask what¡¯s wrong?! You¡¯re supposed to be the manager of the Southern Hua Nation region, and this is how you do your job?! ¡°I¡¯m asking you now, are you forcefully purchasing coffee beans in Li City?¡± Zhu Yuanhui¡¯s heart tightened slightly. He did not understand why such a small matter would alert the president. ¡°P-President, there might be some misunderstanding¡­¡± Obviously, at this moment, Zhu Yuanhui thought that someone had snitched on him. As for Lin Fan¡¯s conversation with Zhang Daming, President Xiao Ma, and President Da Ma, he did not take it to heart. ¡°Misunderstanding, your *ss!¡± the president shouted angrily. ¡°President Zhang from Alphabet, President Ma from Penguin, President Ma from Little Tanuki, and Mr. George Davis, the president of our head office, all called me!¡± Buzz! After hearing this, Zhu Yuanhui seemed to have been electrocuted, and his entire person completely froze. At this moment, the scene of Lin Fan answering those calls was like a movie that played in his mind. It was true¡­ Lin Fan was really on the phone with Zhang Daming, President Xiao Ma, President Da Ma, and the president of Magpie Coffee. He was really the shareholder of Alphabet, Penguin, Little Tanuki, and Magpie Coffee¡­ Yet, he was still mocking him¡­ It was over¡­ He was completely done for! At this moment, the president¡¯s angry voice came from the phone again. ¡°Zhu Yuanhui, I¡¯m telling you, you¡¯d better have an explanation for this! Otherwise, I can guarantee that you won¡¯t just lose your job!¡± Then, the phone rang with a busy tone. The busy tone seemed to drain all of Zhu Yuanhui¡¯s strength. He could not even hold his phone and dropped it to the ground. It was not as simple as losing his job¡­ Zhu Yuanhui knew that the president was not joking. In the past, the company had been lax in its management, and he had been very secretive, so no one had found out. However, these things definitely could not withstand close inspection¡­ In addition, the president also had a powerful network. Even if his deeds went undiscovered, his life would definitely not be easy after he left¡­ As Zhu Yuanhui thought about it, his entire face gradually turned pale. His body went limp, and he fell to the ground. He happened to land at Lin Fan¡¯s feet. Zhu Yuanhui suddenly thought of something and quickly prostrated on the ground, kowtowing and begging, ¡°Sorry, Mr. Lin¡­ I was blinded just now. I actually¡­ I actually disrespected you¡­ ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­ I¡¯m sorry¡­ ¡°Mr. Lin, if you¡¯re angry, you can hit me or kick me¡­¡± As he spoke, he hugged Lin Fan¡¯s leg and kept kicking his own face. Zhu Yuanhui had given up all his dignity to beg for Lin Fan¡¯s forgiveness. It was because he knew that only Lin Fan could save him. Moreover, Zhu Yuanhui knew that Lin Fan was a super big shot who had hidden very well. It was not too much to apologize to a big shot. Ah Mei, who was aside, looked at Zhu Yuanhui¡¯s pitiful appearance and could not bear it anymore. She said, ¡°Uh¡­ Brother¡­¡± Lin Fan patted Ah Mei¡¯s little head. Then, he looked at Zhu Yuanhui with cold eyes and said, ¡°Hurry up and get lost!¡± Zhu Yuanhui¡¯s heart trembled, and he said in a panic, ¡°M-Mr. Lin¡­¡± ¡°Get lost! Otherwise, I can guarantee that your ending will be even more miserable than you can imagine!¡± Lin Fan shouted. Lin Fan would never show any mercy to someone who had designs on his woman and threatened him! If he did not have such a powerful force, what would have happened today? Zhu Yuanhui knew that he was really done for¡­ He did not dare to say anything more. He walked out like a corpse. The two men in suits who had been following behind him understood that Lin Fan¡¯s identity was extraordinary. They bowed to Lin Fan before walking out of the house with nervous hearts. As the cars outside roared and sped away into the distance, the village finally regained its peace. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°I spoke so much just now. My mouth is a little dry¡­ Ningjing, let¡¯s go to the mountain and get some fruit to quench our thirst.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Su Ningjing said happily. ¡°I want to go too!¡± Ah Mei said excitedly. Grandma stopped her. ¡°Ah Mei, I still have something for you to do. Don¡¯t go with them.¡± ¡°Alright¡­¡± Ah Mei said. Lin Fan smiled and held Su Ningjing¡¯s hand as they walked out. The two of them walked together on the winding path, waded through the clear stream, climbed trees to pick fruits, picked flowers, and caught butterflies¡­ Then, they sat together on the green field, leaning against each other. Looking at the mountains in the distance, breathing in the sweet air around them, feeling the unique warmth of his lover¡­ Everything was so beautiful. At this moment, an old man carrying firewood slowly walked past the mountain road in the distance. His skin was tanned, and his back was bent¡­ As the firewood on his shoulder was too heavy, he could not help but stop to catch his breath and rest for a long time. This scene seemed to have touched a certain chord in Lin Fan¡¯s heart. He could not help but say, ¡°Ningjing, let¡¯s bring Grandma and Ah Mei to live in the city.¡± Su Ningjing was a little silent. For a moment, she did not know how to answer. Lin Fan continued, ¡°The air in the mountains is good. There¡¯s no fighting, and the people here are very simple. But what if Grandma falls sick again? Also, Ah Mei is still young. She shouldn¡¯t be trapped in the mountains. She should experience life in the city and enjoy a better life and education¡­¡± Su Ningjing was silent for a while before saying, ¡°Lin Fan, you have a point.¡± Lin Fan smiled and nodded. 12:00 PM! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 19 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 9,999 yuan.¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 18,888 yuan.] Lin Fan tapped the screen a few times and received a total of 57,832 yuan. Lin Fan did not even look at the money and threw the phone back into his pocket. ¡°Sister, Brother! Come back home for dinner!¡± Ah Mei¡¯s loud voice sounded from afar. Lin Fan replied, ¡°Alright, we¡¯re coming!¡± Chapter 317 - 317 Return; Choose a Car! 317 Return; Choose a Car! Today¡¯s lunch was made by Grandma. It had to be said that Su Ningjing¡¯s and Grandma¡¯s cooking skills were passed down from generation to generation. Chili fried meat, tomato egg soup, hot and sour shredded potatoes, cucumber ham, leek scrambled eggs¡­ The dishes were very simple, but they were all very delicious. Lin Fan ate two big bowls of rice during this meal and was extremely satisfied. He took advantage of the fact that Grandma and Ah Mei were here and repeated his previous thoughts. ¡°Grandma, Sis, are you willing to live in the city?¡± Ah Mei looked at the old lady in confusion, then at Su Ningjing. Su Ningjing bit her red lip and said, ¡°Grandma, Sis, I want to bring you to the city¡­ This way, it¡¯ll be easier to take care of Grandma¡¯s health. Ah Mei can also learn more and be able to study well in university in the future.¡± Grandma first looked up at the mountains outside the window, then at the fields on the hillside. After a while, she said, ¡°You¡¯re right¡­¡± When Lin Fan and Su Ningjing heard this, their faces revealed a hint of joy. Since they had already made their decision, they did not hesitate and quickly packed their luggage. In fact, they did not have much to pack. Grandma, Su Ningjing, and Ah Mei only packed some important things. Then, they took a few sets of clothes. The house was already very clean and tidy. Not long after, everything that needed to be taken away was packed up. ¡°Brother, if we leave, what about the coffee beans?¡± Lin Fan patted her head and said, ¡°After this, I¡¯ll get people to come over and help with the management and planting. In addition, I¡¯ll also get the villagers to help plant coffee plants. ¡°In the future, they can all eat a lot of delicious food.¡± As the world¡¯s largest coffee company, Magpie Coffee had the most experience in coffee cultivation. They could definitely use coffee to completely change the face of this place. Ah Mei sat in the Porsche, looking at the old house and the flowing river. Her face was full of reluctance, and her whole person seemed listless. A child¡¯s mood seemed to be like rain. There could be many changes in a short time. If it was not for the fact that no one else in the plane was speaking, Ah Mei would probably be jumping up and down in joy. After arriving in Jiangbei¡­ Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz G parked at the airport and drove Su Ningjing, Ah Mei, and Grandma to a Michelin two-star restaurant. They spent 37,800 yuan and had a sumptuous and exquisite dinner. Then, he brought Grandma, Ah Mei, and Su Ningjing to Washington Mansion. It was a 156-square-meter luxurious house. This was the first property that Lin Fan obtained from the system. At the same time, it was also the best school district in Jiangbei. There were lakes and parks around. Be it shopping, transportation, or medical care, everything was convenient here. Staying here would allow Ah Mei to get the best educational resources and give Grandma a better living environment. In addition, it could also give Lin Fan and Su Ningjing more space to be alone. This was definitely a choice that killed two birds with one stone. That night, Lin Fan did not stay in Washington Mansion. He drove his Mercedes-Benz to Coiling Dragon Villa alone. The next day¡­ When a warm ray of sunlight shone onto the balcony, Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. He first looked at his phone. There was a text message on the screen as usual. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,919,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] It was a few hundred thousand more than usual. Obviously, this was the result of picking fruits and walking in the mountains yesterday. Regarding this¡­ Lin Fan did not pay too much attention to it. He placed his attention on the check-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,000,000 yuan.] Lin Fan yawned and walked out slowly. As soon as he opened the door, a fragrance that whetted one¡¯s appetite filled the air. Lin Fan focused his gaze and saw that there were already lean meat noodles, eggs, milk, and other food on the dining table. At this moment, Su Ningjing walked over from the kitchen with a plate of fried dumplings. Lin Fan looked at her peaceful and gentle face and smiled, ¡°When did you arrive? What about Grandma and Ah Mei?¡± ¡°They¡¯re shopping. I thought you probably haven¡¯t had breakfast yet, so I came over to make some for you.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°It smells so good! Have you eaten? Eat with me.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Su Ningjing said. This breakfast might not be as luxurious as the food served in the Michelin restaurant, but the taste was just as good. Lin Fan finished all the food and was extremely satisfied. He wiped his mouth and said, ¡°I¡¯m full. It¡¯s time to exercise. ¡°Last time in my hometown, we couldn¡¯t make too much of a commotion. It doesn¡¯t matter today.¡± As he spoke, he pulled Su Ningjing into his arms. Su Ningjing blushed and said softly, ¡°No, no, no. We can¡¯t take too long¡­ Grandma and Sis are still waiting for us¡­¡± o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ It was noon when they were done, and sweat dripped down their bodies. Who knew it was such hard work? ¡­. About two hours later, Lin Fan and Su Ningjing slowly walked out of the villa. ¡°Oh right, Ningjing, do you have a driver¡¯s license?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Yes, I do,¡± Su Ningjing said. ¡°Then go ahead and pick a car.¡± Lin Fan pulled Su Ningjing¡¯s slender hand and walked toward a long row of cars parked in the distance. These were the cars that the chairman had sent over after Lin Fan obtained 5% of Volkswagen Group¡¯s shares. Volkswagen Group had more than ten brands, including Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, Ducati, and so on. At that time, the chairman of Volkswagen sent one car from each brand. However, Lin Fan had only driven the Santana when he was doing a mission. He had never used any of the other cars. ¡°You can drive whichever car you like,¡± Lin Fan said. Su Ningjing looked at the long row of cars and was a little stunned. She knew that Lin Fan was rich, but she did not expect him to have so many cars. There must be dozens of them, right? There were so many cars. Could he drive all of them? When Lin Fan saw that Su Ningjing had not chosen, he thought that she was a little embarrassed. He pointed at the Lamborghini Urus in front of him and said, ¡°This car has good horsepower and is spacious¡­ It¡¯ll be easier for you to drive it, and it¡¯ll be more comfortable for Grandma and Sis to sit in. The trunk space is good, and you can store things in the future.¡± Many people felt that women should drive small cars. Whether it was driving or parking, it would be safer and simpler. However, Lin Fan did not think that way. As long as Su Ningjing drove a Lamborghini Urus, would anyone dare to hit her? The other cars on the street would deliberately keep a distance from it. As for the trouble of parking? One had to know¡­ The entire building of Washington Mansion belonged to Lin Fan. There were hundreds of parking spaces. There were horizontal, vertical, and slanted ones. She could park however she wanted. Would it be troublesome? Chapter 318 - 318 Shopping; Asking for Help! 318 Shopping; Asking for Help! Su Ningjing was very kind and had a good relationship with her former colleagues. At that time, she had just finished her driver¡¯s license examination. Her colleagues wanted to prevent her from forgetting how to drive, so they brought her along to familiarize herself with driving on the road for a period of time. Today, under Lin Fan¡¯s guidance and after circling the Coiling Dragon Villa a few times, it was no longer a problem for her to drive alone. Hence, Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class while Su Ningjing drove the Lamborghini Urus. They headed toward Washington Palace at an equal speed. When they opened the door, the familiar smell of food wafted out from inside. Ah Mei jumped up and down. ¡°Brother and Sis are back! We can eat now!¡± Lin Fan and Su Ningjing had just exercised for two hours. They were really hungry. They picked up a bowl and chopsticks and started eating. After lunch. Lin Fan said, ¡°Grandma, Sis, you just moved in. You still lack some clothes and daily necessities, right? Ningjing and I will bring you guys to buy some now, okay?¡± ¡°I already have daily necessities,¡± the old lady said. ¡°As for clothes, Ningjing knows my and Ah Mei¡¯s size, so we won¡¯t follow you guys.¡± Ah Mei seemed eager to go, but she looked at the tired old lady. ¡°We can just stay at home.¡± Regarding this¡­ Lin Fan did not force them. He wanted to take this opportunity to let Su Ningjing drive more alone. After all, Su Ningjing had just started driving. It was inevitable that she would be nervous if she were to directly drive Grandma and Ah Mei. Thus, Lin Fan and Su Ningjing drove separately and arrived at KM Mall at a steady speed. Although the clothes here were expensive, there were many styles suitable for men and women of all ages. In addition, KM Mall belonged to Lin Fan. By visiting his own mall, it could be said that he was giving his tenants some benefits. Since there was no need to try the clothes, he only needed to get them in the right sizes. Therefore, it was very convenient to purchase them. At the same time, 88 red packets appeared on Lin Fan¡¯s phone. Luckily, KM Mall provided delivery services. Otherwise, Lin Fan really would not have been able to carry so many things. When Lin Fan and Su Ningjing arrived at the underground carpark, Lin Fan suddenly remembered¡­ His phone seemed to be in one of the shopping bags. If it was something else, Lin Fan could choose not to take it now. However, his phone was where he collected the daily red packets. He naturally could not abandon it. Wait for me in the car,¡± he said to Su Ningjing. ¡°I put my phone in one of the shopping bags.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Su Ningjing said. Then, Lin Fan took the elevator again. Su Ningjing slowly walked toward the parking lot. After a while, she saw her car¡­ At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from behind. ¡°Beautiful lady, I¡¯m sorry to disturb you.¡± When Su Ningjing heard the voice, she could not help but turn around to look. The man in Eddie Bauer clothes was immediately attracted by Su Ningjing¡¯s side profile. At this moment, when he saw Su Ningjing¡¯s face, his heart started to beat wildly. Beautiful! She was too beautiful! Pure and beautiful! This feeling¡­ She was like a fairy who had descended from the sky. ¡°Excuse me, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Su Ningjing asked curiously. She sounded good! Even her voice was so pleasant! He had to get her! The man tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart. Then, he said in an embarrassed tone, ¡°Uhh¡­ I just spent one million yuan to buy a BMW X5. The technology is not very good. The front is a little narrow, and there are cars on both sides. Can you help me drive it out?¡± As he spoke, he took out his car keys and pressed them gently. Sure enough, the headlights of a brand-new BMW X5 flashed slightly. He first pointed out that he had a million-dollar luxury car. Then, he used a good attitude to ask Su Ningjing for help. It was really easy to get help in this way. The man had already made a plan in his heart. He would use this as an excuse to add Su Ningjing on WeChat and treat her to a meal later¡­ In the man¡¯s heart, he had already begun to fantasize about holding hands with Su Ningjing and their future life together. An invisible smile appeared on his face. However, before Su Ningjing could respond, footsteps could be heard from afar. It was Lin Fan. He grabbed Su Ningjing¡¯s slender waist with one hand. Seeing this¡­ The man¡¯s pupils constricted slightly. Jealousy, hatred, and other complicated expressions flashed across his face. It was not easy for him to meet a beauty. Why?! However, immediately after¡­ His eyes shifted slightly again. If they were just a couple, perhaps he still had a chance. After all, he had a million-dollar luxury car! Therefore, the man tried his best to put on a calm tone and asked, ¡°And this is?¡± ¡°I¡¯m her boyfriend,¡± Lin Fan said. Sure enough, it was just a casual relationship between a man and a woman. The man was slightly happy. ¡°You know my girlfriend?¡± Lin Fan asked again. ¡°We just met,¡± Su Ningjing said. Then, Su Ningjing roughly recounted their conversation. How smart was Lin Fan? He instantly understood the other party¡¯s thoughts. He pointed at the BMW X5 in front of him and said, ¡°Is that the car?¡± The man raised his head slightly and said, ¡°Yes.¡± He looked extremely smug. It was as if he was saying, ¡®That¡¯s my million-dollar luxury car!¡¯ Lin Fan said, ¡°Ningjing, he said that your car is making it difficult for him to drive out. In that case, drive your car out first.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Su Ningjing replied. As soon as she finished speaking, she took out the car keys to the Lamborghini Urus and pressed them gently. Then, she opened the car door, got in, and drove out. Seeing this¡­ The man was slightly stunned. ¡°L-Lamborghini Urus¡­¡± Obviously, he had some understanding of cars. Lin Fan saw that the man was standing there without any intention of moving and said, ¡°You still can¡¯t drive your car out?¡± Hence, he opened the door of the Mercedes-Benz G beside his car and drove the car out. ¡°M-Mercedes-Benz G¡­¡± The man could not help but say again. Lin Fan rolled down the window and asked, ¡°How is it? Do you have enough space now? Do you want me to help drive your car out?¡± The man¡¯s face instantly turned red. He had bragged for a long time that he had a million-dollar luxury car, but what was the result? In the end, this person owned a top-notch Mercedes-Benz G worth more than two million. There was also the Lamborghini Urus which was worth more than three million. The man only felt that he was a fool. At this moment, he only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. Therefore, the man did not answer Lin Fan. He lowered his head and walked into the BMW X5, stepping on the accelerator. However, he accidentally knocked into a pillar in front of him. After the man got out of the car, he looked at the broken headlights and the bent hood, his heart bleeding. ¡°I just bought this!¡± Chapter 319 - 319 Celebration; Im Straight! 319 Celebration; I¡¯m Straight! Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan only said, ¡°Ningjing, did you see that? Don¡¯t panic when driving, or you¡¯ll crash.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Su Ningjing nodded seriously. Then, the two of them stepped on the accelerator and sped into the distance. The man was left alone in the same spot, choking on the exhaust and coughing non-stop. Not long after Lin Fan and Su Ningjing arrived at Washington Palace, the clothes and shoes that they had bought earlier were all sent over. Lin Fan saw that the sky was gradually darkening. He did not stay in Washington Palace for long and returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa alone. He sat on the soft sofa, took out his phone, and focused on the red packet. ¡°105 red packets? Let¡¯s see what I can get.¡± Obviously, these were the red packets he had received from buying clothes, shoes, and some expenses for the past few days. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received eight yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a one yuan critical hit card.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 8,888 yuan.] ¡­ From the 102 red packets, Lin Fan received a total of 98,103 yuan and a one yuan critical hit card. One had to know that a one yuan critical hit card could be used to obtain 100 million yuan immediately after spending one yuan. In other words¡­ Lin Fan spent the past two days buying clothes, eating, flying, and so on. Not only did he not spend any money, but he even earned 100 million yuan. Not bad. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. It was his sister, Lin Xiaoyao. ¡°Brother, did you invent that super battery?¡± Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s anxious voice came from the phone. Lin Fan thought to himself, ¡®So the news has already reached Lil Yao.¡¯ ¡°Yes,¡± he replied. ¡°Then¡­ Dahua Phone Group signed a 1.5 billion contract with you?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked again. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°F*ck!¡± Lin Xiaoyao shouted excitedly, ¡­ Meanwhile, at Jiangbei University. Zhao Ni walked briskly back to the dormitory. When she saw Xia Bing and Xia Xue sitting at the table and reading seriously, she could not help but smile and greet them. ¡°It¡¯s so late. Why are you still studying?¡± As she spoke, she casually glanced at Xia Bing and Xia Xue¡¯s book. Soon, Zhao Ni¡¯s face revealed a hint of doubt. ¡°4Li-4e=4Li+? Is this a chemical reaction equation? Why are you guys reading a chemistry book?¡± Zhao Ni asked. One had to know¡­ Xia Bing and Xia Xue were geniuses in the computer science department. They even won the Higher Education Cup last year. Although many people said that a large part of the reason why they were able to win the Higher Education Cup was because of Lin Fan, this did not deny their superb computer skills. Xia Bing and Xia Xue stuttered, ¡°We¡¯re j-just l-l-looking.¡± Zhao Ni shrugged her shoulders and said, ¡°Alright, this is probably the difference between the top students and us losers.¡± Then, she walked toward the bathroom. Xia Bing and Xia Xue looked down at the title on the cover of the Science journal¡­ Principles and Applications of Super Batteries. Then, the two of them started to read it more attentively. ¡­ Last night, Lin Fan had reminded Su Ningjing not to come over to prepare breakfast. Firstly, Lin Fan felt that it was too tiring for her to rush over so early in the morning. Secondly, Lin Fan wanted to go to school today The leaders of Jiangbei University had already said that they would give him the greatest freedom. However, no matter what, he was still a student. It was not good for him to not go to school for a long time. Hence, Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and ate breakfast at a high-end restaurant nearby. When he walked out of the restaurant, he bought a bottle of mineral water from a small supermarket nearby. [Ding! You spent one yuan. Do you want to use the one yuan critical hit card?] ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! You¡¯ve successfully used it. Congratulations on obtaining 100 million yuan.] Instantly, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 100,000,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class toward Jiangbei University. He had not been to school for a few days, but there was not much change. However, there was another banner in front of the gate congratulating him on his invention of the super battery. When Lin Fan parked his car and walked toward the classroom, a deep voice suddenly sounded behind him. ¡°Lin Fan, good morning!¡± Lin Fan slowly turned around and said, ¡°Good morning, Counselor Sun.¡± Sun Yaodong quickened his pace and hugged Lin Fan¡¯s arm, smiling, ¡°Why are you being so polite to me?¡± Lin Fan¡¯s lips twitched. Polite? ¡®Did you not greet me first? ¡®I was just responding politely.¡¯ Sun Yaodong praised, ¡°Not bad, Lin Fan. You¡¯re really not bad! ¡°I told you that your ability was outstanding and that you¡¯d definitely bring glory to our class. Unexpectedly, you even invented the super battery!¡± Lin Fan¡¯s lips twitched once more. He had outstanding ability and brought glory to the class¡­ ¡®Counselor Sun, do you really only know how to praise people with these same words?¡¯ ¡°You invented the super battery and signed such a big contract. Do you want to celebrate?¡± Celebrate? Lin Fan really had not thought about it before. In his eyes, 1.5 billion was nothing. After all, his daily income was close to 20 million. After using the one yuan critical hit card today, he had an additional 100 million. He also often obtained office buildings worth billions and company shares worth tens of billions. If he had to celebrate every time, he would probably be constantly celebrating. However, no one else knew about this. Everyone knew about the contract worth 1.5 billion, though. Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, ¡°We do have to celebrate. I don¡¯t think we have any classes this afternoon. After the morning class ends, I¡¯ll celebrate with the students. Counselor Sun, are you joining?¡± ¡°Is it appropriate for me to join?¡± Sun Yaodong asked hesitantly.¡± Lin Fan opened his mouth and was about to say that it was fine if he did not want to go. However, Sun Yaodong immediately smiled and said, ¡°Okay!¡± I¡¯ll come to the class after I arrange my work for the afternoon!¡± Then, he patted Lin Fan¡¯s shoulder and walked into the office with his head held high. Lin Fan could not help but reveal a strange look. Why did it feel like¡­ the counselor seemed to have specially come over to freeload? Lin Fan shook his head and threw this small matter to the back of his mind. He went straight to class. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re finally here!¡± Song Yi said excitedly. ¡°We thought that after you took 1.5 billion, you would drop out of school and go home to enjoy your life!¡± When the surrounding students heard the figure of 1.5 billion, they all cast envious gazes. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°I originally wanted to drop out of school and go home to enjoy my life. But when I thought about how all of you cute classmates were still in school, I came back.¡± ¡°Brother Lin Fan¡­¡± Song Yi called out softly. He was so touched that he opened his arms as if he wanted to give Lin Fan a bear hug. Lin Fan immediately said, ¡°Stop! I¡¯m straight!¡± Chapter 320 - 320 Suggestion; Go! 320 Suggestion; Go! ¡°Oh right, there are no classes in the afternoon, right? I want to bring the whole class out to celebrate my invention of the super battery and the signing of the 1.5 billion contract.¡± ¡°What do you guys think?¡± Originally, Song Yi was disappointed that he could not give Lin Fan a bear hug. However, after hearing Lin Fan¡¯s words, he became excited again. ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Fan asked, ¡°Do you have any recommendations?¡± ¡°Barbecue skewers and beer!¡± Song Yi said. Lin Fan then looked at Ma Zhong. Ma Zhong understood that he was asking for his opinion. He said, ¡°¡­Hot pot?¡± Sitting next to him, a round-faced man said, ¡°I know a good barbecue restaurant!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s eat seafood!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s eat Sichuan cuisine and drink!¡± Initially, it was only the students around Lin Fan who gave suggestions. Soon, the other students in the class knew that Lin Fan was organizing a celebration in the afternoon. Therefore, they all made suggestions. Gradually, the entire classroom became extremely noisy. At this moment, Zheng Jinbao, who had been silent all this while, said, ¡°If you ask me, revisiting AC Clubhouse is the best idea! We can eat barbecue, hotpot, Sichuan cuisine, and drink alcohol there¡­ We can even get a massage!¡± As soon as he said this, the entire classroom suddenly fell silent. Although the students did not voice out their agreement, Lin Fan understood that this silence was a tacit agreement. ¡°Alright, then we¡¯ll go to AC Clubhouse later!¡± Ma Zhong shook his buttocks and said, ¡°We¡­ We¡¯re going to AC Clubhouse¡­ Isn¡¯t that a bad idea?¡± At this moment, a melodious bell rang throughout the campus. The old professor slowly walked in and began his lullaby-like lecture again. Today was even more difficult. Many of the students looked listless. From time to time, they would pull out their phones and secretly check the time, silently calculating how long it was until class ended. As the bell rang again, all the students seemed to have been revived and were in high spirits. All the students surrounded Lin Fan and said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, are we leaving now?¡± Lin Fan, who had been woken up by the ringing, nodded his head in a daze. At this moment, Counselor Sun Yaodong walked in. He smiled and said, ¡°Students, you¡¯re all still here. Have you planned where to celebrate?¡± ¡°AC Clubhouse,¡± Lin Fan replied honestly. Sun Yaodong¡¯s eyes lit up, but he said calmly, ¡°AC Clubhouse? Alright, let¡¯s go, then.¡± All the students in the class were stunned. Counselor Sun was joining them? Although Sun Yaodong and the students usually shared a very harmonious relationship¡­ A teacher was a teacher¡­ Now, they were going to celebrate together? Sun Yaodong saw that the students were not moving, so he asked, ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s go. Why are you all standing there?¡± Then, he said, ¡°Oh right, Lin Fan, how should we go later?¡± ¡°The bus should have arrived at the school by now,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s hurry over.¡± After saying that, Sun Yaodong took the lead. The students looked at each other and followed behind. Just as Lin Fan had said, a Mercedes-Benz bus had arrived at the parking lot. Wang Shengli, the general manager of Flying Dragon Security Company, saw Lin Fan from afar and quickly came over to welcome him. He said respectfully, ¡°Mr. Lin, this way, please.¡± After getting onto the bus, Sun Yaodong praised, ¡°This is my first time riding a Mercedes-Benz bus. The configuration is indeed different!¡± ¡°Oh right, Lin Fan, when did you start researching chemistry?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t studied it for long,¡± Lin Fan said. In fact, it was not just that he had not studied it for a long time. He had only studied it for an hour. Of course, Lin Fan could not say that. Otherwise, would he not be treated as a monster? ¡°You invented the super battery after a short period of research and got 1.5 billion? You¡¯re too talented.¡± Wang Shengli, who was sitting at the front, felt his heart skip a beat. Recently, he had been reading news about Lin Fan¡¯s invention of the super battery. When Wang Shengli first saw the name ¡®Lin Fan¡¯, he immediately thought of his boss. However, he did not dare to put the two together. After all, in his impression, his boss was a godly tycoon who had a deep relationship with the supergiants such as Little Tanuki, Penguin, and Alphabet. He probably did not have the energy to study batteries. The result? He was the one who invented it! Not only was his boss rich, but he was also a scientist? 1.5 billion? Sun Yaodong naturally did not pay attention to Wang Shengli¡¯s inner thoughts. He continued, ¡°Lin Fan, are you going to join the Chemistry Department?¡± When the students on the bus heard this, they all pricked up their ears. They had always been proud of being classmates with Lin Fan. If Lin Fan suddenly went to another department, it would be a pity. Lin Fan said, ¡°The Mathematics Department is good enough. Why would I go to the Chemistry Department?¡± Sun Yaodong heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. ¡°That¡¯s right! Our Mathematics Department has always been very good!¡± Jiangbei University was not far from AC Clubhouse. After chatting for a while, they soon arrived at their destination. When the two long-legged beauties saw such a large group of people, they said in a very sweet voice, ¡°Welcome to AC Clubhouse.¡± Sun Yaodong looked at the thin clothes of the long-legged beauties and their snow-white long legs. He could not help but swallow his saliva and said, ¡°Lin Fan, this place isn¡¯t shady, right?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. This is a place for proper meals and massages. We¡¯ve all been here before.¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s good,¡± Sun Yaodong said. However, Lin Fan could vaguely hear a hint of regret in his tone. Was it an illusion? Under the guidance of the beautiful attendants, everyone came to the banquet hall and sat down. Not long after, abalone, king crab, Australian lobster, roasted suckling pig, top-grade steak, charred beef, small hot pot, bullfrog, sea urchin egg, spicy bullfrog¡­ were all served. Just as Zheng Jinbao said, there was seafood, barbecue, hotpot, Sichuan cuisine, and wine. Everyone looked at the table full of delicious food and could not help but swallow their saliva. At this time, Song Jiaxin picked up a bottle of wine and poured a glass. ¡°Congratulations to Lin Fan for his invention of the super battery. Let us give you a toast!¡± When Sun Yaodong and the other students heard this, they all raised their wine glasses. ¡°Lin Fan, congratulations on your invention of the super battery.¡± ¡°Congratulations!¡± Lin Fan also picked up his wine glass and said, ¡°Thank you, everyone.¡± Then, everyone downed the wine in their glasses. After a glass of wine, the atmosphere in the private room became even more heated. Chapter 321 - 321 Banquet; Invitation! 321 Banquet; Invitation! The students could not wait to break off the crab legs, pick up the abalone, and eat heartily. During this time, they toasted Lin Fan individually. After a full meal, some people chose to play board games, while others chose to taste desserts¡­ More people followed the beautiful attendants to the massage area. The place was shrouded in mist, and the water was flowing like a fairyland. A long row of long-legged beauties in Hua Nation¡¯s traditional clothing was swaying their light figures in the mist. When the students saw these beauties, their bodies went limp. They really wanted to lie down and let the beauties massage them. However, when they saw Sun Yaodong, they hesitated. Sun Yaodong was the first to speak up, ¡°This place looks very good! I say, what are you guys still standing there for? Quickly lie down!¡± After saying that, he took the lead and lay down on the massage table in front of him. A graceful beauty in Hua Nation¡¯s traditional clothing strolled over and stretched out her slender fingers to massage Sun Yaodong¡¯s body. ¡°It feels good! ¡°You can use a little more strength. ¡°A little further down. ¡°Ah!¡± When the students saw Sun Yaodong enjoying it so much, they no longer hesitated. They all lay on the massage beds and closed their eyes to enjoy it. In AC Clubhouse, there were food, drinks, and entertainment¡­ Everything could be said to be available. Everyone was so happy that they forgot about going home. It was not until 10 PM that everyone reluctantly gathered and prepared to leave. Lin Fan came to the front desk and said, ¡°The bill.¡± ¡°Hello, the total is 898,900 yuan.¡± There were a total of 36 people at this gathering, which meant that it was less than 30,000 yuan per pax. It was very affordable. Lin Fan did not care about this bit of money at all. He took out his bank card. As the bank card was swiped across the machine, a crisp sound was heard, and a brand-new receipt appeared. At this moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! Do you want to use the food critical hit card?] Lin Fan then remembered that he had obtained this card a long time ago but had not used it. After pondering for a moment, he thought to himself, ¡®I¡¯ll use it.¡¯ [Ding! The food critical hit card was used successfully. Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 898,900,000 yuan.] Then, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket vibrated. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 898,900,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan could not help but reveal a strange look. At this moment, Ma Zhong sighed and said, ¡°We spent 890,000 yuan just like that¡­¡± Lin Fan smiled and patted Ma Zhong¡¯s shoulder. He really wanted to say, ¡®In fact, I didn¡¯t spend any money. On the contrary, I earned an extra 890 million.¡¯ However, he considered that it would be difficult to explain himself if he said this. Therefore, he did not say much. Today, Lin Fan and the rest stayed in the dormitory to sleep. After a day of fun, everyone slept very comfortably. The next day, all the students were flushed and talked about yesterday¡¯s dinner from time to time. In the past, when the students met Sun Yaodong, they would only greet him politely. However, after the massage yesterday, they were even more casual after meeting each other today. ¡°Counselor Sun!¡± ¡°Hey!¡± ¡°Old Sun!¡± Obviously, the students had completely regarded him as a friend of the same generation. As the students chatted, the day¡¯s classes quickly ended. At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket rang. He glanced at the caller ID and realized that it was Ling Rou. Seeing Ling Rou¡¯s name, Lin Fan could not help but recall the scene of the concert. ¡°How¡¯s work been recently? Is it hard?¡± Lin Fan answered the call and asked. ¡°It¡¯s not hard, because these are all things I¡¯ve always wanted to do.¡± Ling Rou said sweetly. ¡°Also, Director Wang and my manager, Sister Li, all take good care of me.¡± Lin Fan was satisfied. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Ling Rou said, ¡°Oh right, Lin Fan, we¡¯re having a banquet at the Grand Hyatt Hotel tonight at 7 PM. Are you free to come?¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great,¡± Ling Rou said happily. The two of them chatted for a while before hanging up. Lin Fan stayed in the dormitory for a while. Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, he drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class toward the Grand Hyatt Hotel. Grand Hyatt Hotel was a four-star luxury hotel that had just opened in Jiangbei. Although there was still a gap compared to the Imperial Hotel, it was still the best in Jiangbei. At this moment, a long red carpet was laid out in front of the Grand Hyatt Hotel¡¯s main entrance. Coupled with the dazzling lights, the entire place looked gorgeous and colorful, like a dream. Today, Ling Rou was wearing a white dress that reached her shoulders and a pair of crystal high heels. The moment she walked on the red carpet, she was like a fairy that had descended from the heavens. She was so dazzling that she attracted everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°So beautiful!¡± ¡°So beautiful!¡± Praise and discussion could be heard. In the hall¡­ a bald man in a black suit also noticed Ling Rou. His turbid eyes lit up slightly. Then, with a beer belly, he strode to Ling Rou. ¡°Hello, beautiful lady.¡± Before Ling Rou entered the entertainment industry, she had a certain understanding of the industry. Moreover, she had been in the entertainment industry for some time now. Ling Rou recognized him at a glance. He was the famous director in Hua Nation, Li Xiaofeng. ¡°Hello, Director Li.¡± ¡°Oh? So you know me. This is really my honor!¡± Li Xiaofeng said happily. After a pause, Li Xiaofeng continued, ¡°Oh right, I¡¯ve been preparing for a big production recently. I¡¯m still lacking a large number of actors such as the first and second female lead¡­ I see that your temperament is very good. I wonder if you¡¯re interested?¡± ¡°What kind of production is it?¡± Ling Rou asked hesitantly. After all, she had only held one concert and filmed some music videos. As for film and television, she had not really come into contact with them. Li Xiaofeng smiled. ¡°As for the specifics, it¡¯s best if we go to a private room and have a drink while we talk. This way, please.¡± As he spoke, he grabbed Ling Rou¡¯s arm. He did not hesitate to do this even in public. It was because even if he was photographed, he could still respond with courtesy. Once they entered the room, they could do whatever they wanted. Just thinking about what was going to happen next, Li Xiaofeng felt his heart burning. At the same time, he believed that Ling Rou knew how to cooperate. It was because this was the rule of the entertainment industry! However¡­ Some things were often different from one¡¯s thoughts. Ling Rou¡¯s body swayed slightly, and she dodged Li Xiaofeng¡¯s arm. She said in a disgusted tone, ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m not interested in big productions.¡± Chapter 322 - 322 If You Want to Drink, Then Drink More; You Dont Need Help, Right?! 322 If You Want to Drink, Then Drink More; You Don¡¯t Need Help, Right?! Ling Rou was not a three-year-old child. She naturally understood what Li Xiaofeng meant. Instantly, she did not have a good impression of this pot-bellied old man. She turned around and walked to the side. Seeing this¡­ Li Xiaofeng¡¯s face darkened as he thought to himself, ¡®You didn¡¯t save me any face! I¡¯ll make you beg me obediently!¡¯ As time passed, more and more people gathered in the banquet hall. Most of them were famous singers and movie stars. They wore gorgeous gowns and were extremely glamorous. In front of their fans, their different personalities¡ªcold, lively, sunny, intelligent, and so on¡ªcame into view. However, here¡­ They were all like ordinary people as they gathered in twos and threes, chatting with each other. At this moment, someone shouted, ¡°This year is a bumper year for our entertainment industry. It¡¯s only just started, but Huang Qiao¡¯s ¡®Blade in Spring¡¯ has already achieved remarkable results!¡± ¡°This is definitely a good start for us artistes. Therefore, I suggest that everyone cheers to Huang Qiao.¡± ¡°No, no!¡± Huang Qiao hurriedly said. ¡°The reason why Blade in Spring could achieve such results is all thanks to Director Li Xiaofeng¡¯s advice! ¡°In addition, it can be said that the current achievements of our juniors are more or less due to Director Li Xiaofeng. ¡°Therefore, I feel that all of us should give Director Li Xiaofeng a toast.¡± As soon as he said this, many people echoed and raised their glasses. ¡°Huang Qiao, what are you trying to do?¡± Li Xiaofeng scolded. ¡°I¡¯m ashamed to accept your toasts!¡± Although he was full of blame, he was laughing. His face was all wrinkled up. He was obviously thinking, ¡®Huang Qiao, well done!¡¯ ¡°Director Li, you¡¯re too modest.¡± Huang Qiao understood the man. Li Xiaofeng waved his hands repeatedly¡­ At this moment, he noticed Ling Rou, who was standing in the corner. He shifted his eyes and said, ¡°If you ask me, the reason why our film and television entertainment industry can develop to its current state¡­ ¡°Is entirely because we have an endless stream of outstanding young people joining us! As he spoke, Li Xiaofeng picked up two tall glasses and poured filled one up with red wine while the other glass only had a little bit of red wine. He handed a glass of red wine to Ling Rou and said, ¡°Miss Ling has only recently entered the entertainment industry. Everyone, please give her more motivation!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the glass with only a little red wine and drank it in one gulp. Li Xiaofeng had already roughly understood Ling Rou¡¯s situation. He looked up her name and knew that she had held a large-scale concert in Jiangbei. There were even rumors that she had a very deep background. However, regarding these¡­ Li Xiaofeng did not care at all. He had been in the entertainment industry for many years, and he had long treated the matter of having a deep background as a joke. There were rumors that a certain celebrity¡¯s father was a high-ranking official, so no one felt that there could be any negative news about her. There were rumors that a certain celebrity was a rich second-generation heir. If he did not do well in the entertainment industry, he would have to go back and inherit the family business. ¡­ In reality? Those people were all very ordinary. If they really had such a deep background, why would they come to the entertainment industry? This was also a kind of character setting. Moreover, even if Ling Rou really had some background, so what? Li Xiaofeng was even more confident in his background. The banquet hall was filled with smart people. How could they not understand that Li Xiaofeng was deliberately messing with Ling Rou? They did not look down on a man bullying a woman. Instead, they joined in the jeering. ¡°Director Li personally toasted you!¡± ¡°You must drink it!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± ¡­ Li Xiaofeng saw that Ling Rou did not pick up the glass of wine for a long time. His face darkened slightly, and he said coldly, ¡°This is a business drink. You have to drink it! You must drink it!¡± Ling Rou looked at his ugly face and panicked. She could not help but take two steps back. Just as she was lonely and helpless, not knowing what to do¡­ A loud voice suddenly sounded in her ears. ¡°Since you want to drink, then drink more!¡± This voice was like a rocket that shot into the sky, dispelling all the fear and fear in Ling Rou¡¯s heart. The person who spoke was Lin Fan! He walked to Ling Rou¡¯s side and gently pulled her into his arms. ¡°It¡¯s alright now.¡± ¡°Mmh!¡± Ling Rou nodded vigorously. Then, Lin Fan said, ¡°Wang Shengli, let him drink until he¡¯s full!¡± Coincidentally, the security company of the Grand Hyatt Hotel was Flying Dragon Security. Today, Wang Shengli, the general manager of Flying Dragon Security Company, happened to be discussing something with the owner of the Grand Hyatt Hotel. When Wang Shengli met Lin Fan at the entrance, he followed behind him like a follower. ¡°Yes!¡± Wang Shengli replied. Then, he waved his hand¡­ After a while, a large group of security guards quickly surrounded Li Xiaofeng. ¡°You¡­¡± Li Xiaofeng panicked. ¡°What are you doing? I¡¯m the famous director, Li Xiaofeng. My cousin is the boss of Xinle Film and Television¡­¡± However, Wang Shengli turned a deaf ear and said, ¡°Hold him down!¡± How bad was it for security guards to bully a customer? If people knew that a certain security company had done such a thing, the security company would probably not have any business in the future. However, Wang Shengli did it without hesitation. Wang Shengli pried open Li Xiaofeng¡¯s mouth with one hand and picked up a large bottle of red wine with the other, pouring it directly into his mouth. Gulp, gulp! Li Xiaofeng had no time to swallow the wine, and he could not stop coughing. Regarding this¡­ Wang Shengli turned a blind eye and took another bottle. Eventually, they reached the third bottle¡­ He kept pouring wine into Li Xiaofeng¡¯s mouth. Plop! Finally, Li Xiaofeng could not hold on any longer. His eyes rolled back, and his body went limp as he fell to the ground. He was completely unresponsive. Lin Fan swept his cold gaze across the hall and said calmly, ¡°Those who joined Li Xiaofeng in making a ruckus, drink two bottles as punishment! I hope you don¡¯t need my help.¡± Everyone who caught Lin Fan¡¯s gaze could not help but shiver. Those who saw Li Xiaofeng¡¯s miserable appearance did not dare to hesitate at all. They picked up the red wine and quickly poured it into their mouths. Gulp, gulp! Gulp, gulp! Everyone present often attended banquets, so they all had somewhat good alcohol tolerance. However, drinking two bottles of red wine at once was still unbearable for them. ¡°Ugh!¡± Soon, someone started to vomit. Some of them took a few steps and staggered to the ground. Regarding these people¡­ Lin Fan did not care about them. He held Ling Rou¡¯s slender hand and slowly walked out of the Grand Hyatt Hotel. Chapter 323 - 323 Visit; Revenge! 323 Visit; Revenge! Lin Fan brought Ling Rou to the Coiling Dragon Villa. After not seeing each other for a while, the two of them seemed to have endless things to talk about. They did not sleep for the entire night. ¡­ The next day, on the tender green branches, two little sparrows were flapping their wings happily and jumping back and forth. Lin Fan opened his eyes slowly. At this moment, there was no one else on the spacious bed. When Lin Fan came to the living room, Ling Rou came out of the kitchen with a bowl of fragrant noodles. When she saw Lin Fan, she smiled sweetly and said, ¡°Are you hungry? Have some noodles first.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± said Lin Fan. He did not stand on ceremony and stuffed the noodles into his mouth. Su Ningjing¡¯s noodles were tasty. However, Ling Rou¡¯s noodles smelled better. Each bowl of noodles had its own characteristics, and they were both very delicious. He quickly finished the big bowl of noodles. Ling Rou looked at Lin Fan eating so happily, and her face was full of smiles. At this moment, she seemed to have thought of something and said, ¡°Oh right, Lin Fan, President Wang from Xin Mei Entertainment said that he would like to visit you later.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Alright then.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Ling Rou replied. Not long after, the crisp sound of the doorbell rang out. Ling Rou opened the door. It was Wang Haohua, President Wang of Xin Mei Entertainment, whom she had just mentioned. Wang Haohua walked in nervously. He bowed slightly and said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± ¡°Hello,¡± Lin Fan replied. When Wang Haohua found out that Lin Fan had acquired Xin Mei Entertainment, his attitude toward Lin Fan was filled with respect. This was mainly because of money. After he found out about what happened at the Grand Hyatt Hotel yesterday, he was even more afraid of Lin Fan. One had to know¡­ Many celebrities and directors were still lying in the hospital, unable to move. Lin Fan did not say anything. He just picked up his teacup and took a sip of the fragrant Spirit Tea. His entire body felt comfortable. He was relaxed, but Wang Haohua was flustered and nervous. A thin layer of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. Ling Rou, who was beside him, also saw the change in Wang Haohua. She could not help but say, ¡°President Wang usually takes good care of me. What happened yesterday should be an accident. It¡¯s all Li Xiaofeng¡¯s fault.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Since Ling Rou has spoken up for you, I¡¯ll believe you for now. But I don¡¯t want something like this to happen again. Do you understand what I mean?¡± ¡°I understand!¡± Wang Haohua nodded. ¡°I promise! Such a thing will never happen again in the future. I guarantee it!¡± Lin Fan picked up his teacup and took another sip of tea. ¡°Is there anything else?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing else. Mr. Lin, Ms. Ling, I¡¯ll be leaving first. Goodbye¡­¡± Wang Haohua said, relieved. For the next two days, Lin Fan stayed with Ling Rou at the Coiling Dragon Villa. After two days of recuperation, Ling Rou¡¯s mental state had improved a lot, and her complexion had become rosy and shiny. On this day, after having breakfast with Lin Fan, she left the Coiling Dragon Villa and headed toward Xin Mei Entertainment. After all, her dream career was there. Lin Fan looked at Ling Rou¡¯s back as she left. His face turned cold as he called out, ¡°Lil White!¡± ¡°I¡¯m here, Master!¡± The watch on Lin Fan¡¯s wrist flickered and made a very clear sound. ¡°Collect the dirt on Li Xiaofeng as well as evidence of his misdeeds,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Lil White said. Obviously, Lin Fan had no intention of letting Li Xiaofeng off so easily. ¡­ At this moment, Li Xiaofeng arrived at Xinle Film and Television. He always had a beer belly and a fat face. Today, his steps were a little shaky, and his face was pale. It was no wonder that he would be like this. He was forced to drink so much at once that it directly led to alcohol poisoning. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital and was out of danger. After walking with difficulty for a while, Li Xiaofeng finally arrived at the president¡¯s office. ¡°Cousin, you must avenge me!¡± Li Xiaofeng wailed. The bald man sitting inside said, ¡°Xiaofeng, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll help you! ¡°Since he dares to touch our people, I definitely won¡¯t let him off! It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t found out the identity of that man yet.¡± Xinle Film and Television had a very professional information department. They were often able to dig up the private lives of certain celebrities at the first moment. Ever since Li Xiaofeng¡¯s accident, the bald man had sent people to investigate Lin Fan. However, even after two days, they found nothing. This puzzled the bald man. In fact¡­ This was very normal. One had to know that Lin Fan was a great mathematician and scientist. He had made it clear that he would not accept any interviews, so the officials had been trying their best to seal his information. In addition, Lin Fan was also a member of the Dragon Division. It was also because of this that large companies such as Fruit Phone and Four Star Corporation could not find Lin Fan¡¯s contact information at all. At this moment, there was a series of hurried knocks on the door. ¡°Come in!¡± the bald man said. Then, a man wearing silver-rimmed glasses rushed in with a tablet. As he was walking too fast, he accidentally fell to the ground. ¡°How many times have I told you not to panic?!¡± The bald man frowned. The silver-rimmed glasses man quickly got up and said, ¡°Yes, yes¡­¡± ¡°What is it?¡± the bald man asked. ¡°There¡¯s news about Director Li Xiaofeng,¡± answered the man with silver-rimmed glasses.¡± ¡°My news? What is it?¡± Li Xiaofeng asked, puzzled. The man with silver-rimmed glasses hesitated for a moment before turning on his tablet and reading, ¡°In May 2013, Li Xiaofeng became obsessed with Liu Yun. In June 2013, Li Xiaofeng took nude photos of a group of celebrities and forced them to shoot a movie for Xinle Film and Television¡­¡± Li Xiaofeng¡¯s and the bald man¡¯s expressions changed drastically as they shouted, ¡°Shut up!¡± They all looked at the man with silver-rimmed glasses coldly. One had to know¡­ These things were all hidden, but in the end, they were found out by outsiders! They had to take measures! The silver-rimmed glasses man was so frightened by the two of them that he could not help but take two steps back. A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. Originally, he thought that it was slander, but now it seemed¡­ ¡®I¡¯m afraid¡­¡¯ ¡°How do you know all this?¡± the bald man asked coldly. The man with silver-rimmed glasses said, ¡°It¡¯s¡­ It¡¯s on the news¡­ now¡­ Weibo, Penguin, and Today¡¯s Headlines¡­ The topics are all trending there¡­¡± ¡°What did you say?!¡± The bald man¡¯s pupils constricted. Chapter 324 - 324 Anger; Treat Me to Dinner! 324 Anger; Treat Me to Dinner! The bald man hurriedly took out his phone and opened Weibo, Penguin News, and Today¡¯s Headlines¡­ In the next moment, sweat appeared on his forehead. His entire face was pale and extremely miserable. The news was so detailed. It actually recorded the bad things that Li Xiaofeng had done over the years in such detail. This¡­ How was this possible? It was over. Xinle Film and Television was over. He was over¡­ Li Xiaofeng saw that his cousin was holding his phone and not saying anything. He immediately had a bad feeling. However, he still opened his mouth and asked, ¡°C-Cousin¡­ What¡¯s wrong?¡± When the bald man heard Li Xiaofeng¡¯s voice, he suddenly raised his head and looked at him. Although the bald man had not been able to find out all the information about Lin Fan, he knew that when Lin Fan held that concert for Ling Rou, he had used Penguin News, Today¡¯s Headlines, and UA Browser to promote the concert for a week. Now, Penguin News, Today¡¯s Headlines, and Weibo¡­ released the scandals about Li Xiaofeng and Xinle Film and Television. Everything was so similar. Clearly, this was Lin Fan¡¯s doing! Li Xiaofeng! It was all because of Li Xiaofeng! If he had not offended Lin Fan, there would definitely be no problems for him and his company! Thinking of this¡­ The fear in the bald man¡¯s heart turned into anger. He clenched his fist and smashed it at Li Xiaofeng¡¯s face. He kept punching and kicking. ¡°Cousin, Cousin, stop hitting me¡­¡± Li Xiaofeng wailed in pain. ¡°Please don¡¯t hit me¡­¡± However, the bald man did not seem to hear him. He continued to punch and kick. He wanted to vent all his anger on Li Xiaofeng. The bald man was also tired of hitting him. He seemed to have thought of something and picked up his phone to press a number. However¡­ At this moment, the office door was pushed open. A group of investigators walked in with large strides and said, ¡°You¡¯re under arrest!¡± The bald man¡¯s phone fell to the ground, and he was extremely dejected. ¡­ Lil White quickly told Lin Fan about the situation. Lin Fan was quite satisfied with this. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. 12:00 PM! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 18,888 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a food critical hit card.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Tribute Garden Restaurant.] This time, Lin Fan received a total of 54,889 yuan, a food critical hit card, and Tribute Garden Restaurant.] He ignored the 54,889 yuan. As for the food critical hit card, Lin Fan was more familiar with it. After eating, he could get 100 to 10,000 times the consumption amount. Not long ago, Lin Fan had invited his classmates to AC Clubhouse to hang out and had used it to earn 890 million. As for Tribute Garden Restaurant¡­ Lin Fan had read about it on the internet. It was a two-star Michelin restaurant in the eastern district of Jiangbei. The dishes were delicious. Many people even said that it had three Michelin stars. In the past, Lin Fan had thought of going there for a meal. However, because the distance was too far, he chose to give up. He did not expect that the restaurant would actually belong to him now. Lin Fan muttered, ¡°At least it¡¯s not all cash. A food critical hit card, Tribute Garden Restaurant¡­ My luck today is pretty good! Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I¡¯ll go to the restaurant to try the dishes there.¡± Lin Fan did as he said. He drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class toward Tribute Garden Restaurant, which was 50 kilometers away. Even though Lin Fan had excellent driving skills, he still spent more than an hour to reach his destination due to the congested roads. Xia Yan was a woman who loved delicious food. After she finished her work in East Borough, she drove her Porsche Cayenne straight to the famous Tribute Garden Restaurant and found a table. Xia Yan had a head of black hair, exquisite facial features, and a charming figure. Soon, she attracted the attention of the people around her. A man in his 30s, who was wearing a branded suit, took the initiative to walk over and said in a very gentlemanly tone, ¡°Pretty lady, you seem to be alone. Do you mind if I sit beside you and treat you to a meal?¡± Xia Yan had been in society for more than ten years. She could tell at a glance that under his gentlemanly appearance, he had a filthy mind¡­ Xia Yan¡¯s pretty face immediately revealed a look of disgust. Just as she was about to speak, her beautiful eyes unexpectedly saw a familiar figure¡­ It was Lin Fan! At this moment, Lin Fan caught sight of Xia Yan. Lin Fan had once thought that Xia Yan, Xia Xue, and Xia Bing might be family members through the smell of Xia Yan¡¯s perfume and her favorable impression of him. Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s family members were his own family members! Hence, Lin Fan strode forward and greeted, ¡°Hello, Ms. Xia. What a coincidence.¡± From the conversation and interaction last time, Lin Fan knew that Xia Yan had been hiding her relationship with Xia Bing and Xia Xue. That was why Lin Fan did not call her Sister Xia. Besides, Lin Fan also felt that Xia Yan would not like this title. Moreover, it did not match Xia Yan¡¯s young and stunning appearance. Xia Yan smiled and said, ¡°Yes! What a coincidence!¡± She had already planned to hit on Lin Fan the last time she watched the concert. However, she had been a little busy with work in the company recently. Therefore, she temporarily shelved the idea. She did not expect to meet Lin Fan today. Xia Yan looked at the man in the branded suit and then at Lin Fan. Her big black eyes shifted as she smiled. ¡°Are you going to treat me to a meal again today?¡± Lin Fan still remembered that he had treated Xia Yan to a meal at Star Restaurant to complete a mission. Her words made sense. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°That¡¯s right. I wonder if Ms. Xia would do me the honor?¡± After all, Xia Yan was a family member of Xia Bing and Xia Xue, which meant that she was also his own family member. There was nothing wrong with treating his relatives to a meal! ¡°Is that so? However, this man also wants to treat me to a meal.¡± The man in the branded suit quickly straightened his chest and said, ¡°Ms. Xia, this restaurant¡¯s bird¡¯s nest, sea cucumber, premium caviar, tuna, and sea urchin¡­ all taste very good.¡± As he spoke, he even deliberately raised his 200,000-yuan Dendon Traversing Four Seas watch. ¡°Moreover, the dishes are served very quickly here. It only takes ten minutes for us to taste these delicacies. He deliberately mentioned a bunch of expensive dishes, and at the same time, revealed his watch¡­ In what he thought was an unintentional move, he showed off his identity as a rich man. Chapter 325 - 325 Order; Dont Waste! 325 Order; Don¡¯t Waste! It had to be said that the man in the branded suit had a certain method of picking up women. If it were someone else, they would probably be attracted by him. Unfortunately¡­ he was facing Xia Yan. Xia Yan blinked her big black eyes and said, ¡°Is that so? Now that you mention it, I¡¯m getting a little greedy.¡± As she spoke, she deliberately swallowed her saliva. After a pause, Xia Yan continued, ¡°But both of you want to treat me to a meal. Who should I eat with? ¡°Hmm¡­ You guys can order separately. I¡¯ll go to whichever table has the best food.¡± The man in the suit did not hesitate at all and said directly, ¡°This is a good idea!¡± From his point of view, Xia Yan and Lin Fan seemed to know each other. However, they should not be too familiar. Perhaps Lin Fan was one of Xia Yan¡¯s pursuers. At this time, he should be generous and satisfy Xia Yan¡¯s wishes unconditionally. That way, it would be easier to capture her heart. The suited man did not even consider that Xia Yan was Lin Fan¡¯s admirer. Tribute Garden Restaurant was a well-known restaurant in Jiangbei. It was packed with people every day. The man in a suit waved his hand and shouted, ¡°Waiter, I wish to order!¡± Soon, a tall and thin waiter walked over. ¡°Snow toad, tiger-head fish, carved wave dragon, sea urchin with egg¡­ I¡¯ll just order these for the time being.¡± The man in a suit ordered seven or eight dishes in a row, and the total price was more than 20,000 yuan. Regardless of the appearance, taste, or price of these dishes, he believed that they would definitely attract Xia Yan. After the man in the suit finished speaking, he did not forget to throw a provocative look at Lin Fan. Lin Fan had a weird look on his face. This was his own restaurant, and he was competing with him in ordering dishes? It seemed¡­ interesting? However, Lin Fan did not order immediately. Instead, he slowly flipped through the menu. After all, this was his own restaurant. If he did not even know what delicious food his restaurant served, it would be a little inappropriate. It had to be said that Tribute Garden Restaurant was very efficient. After a while, the delicacies ordered by the man in a suit were served. Just as he had expected, the food was high-end and fragrant. It was very tempting. The man in the suit cleared his throat and was about to say something to Xia Yan. At this moment, Lin Fan pointed at the man in the suit and said to the waiter beside him, ¡°On top of what he just ordered, I wish to add rain tofu, boiled cabbage, top-grade bird¡¯s nest, and deep sea crab flower¡­¡± The waiter quickly wrote it down and replied, ¡°Okay, please wait a moment.¡± After saying that, he turned around and left. The man in the suit opened his mouth but did not say anything immediately. He picked up the menu and started calculating the price of the dishes that Lin Fan added. Rain tofu cost 1,800 yuan a serving, boiled cabbage cost 2,200 yuan a serving¡­ The dishes that Lin Fan added cost close to 20,000! In addition to the 20,000 yuan worth of dishes he ordered, it was a total of 40,000 yuan! The man in the suit hesitated for a while. Finally, he gritted his teeth. However, his face remained calm as he said, ¡°Waiter, bring me a serving of all the dishes he just added. In addition, I¡¯ll have the delicious top-grade abalone, the fragrant beef with potatoes, and the spicy eel¡­¡± This time, he added another 10,000 yuan worth of dishes. Although the man in the suit was indeed a little wealthy and indeed attracted to Xia Yan, spending 50,000 yuan for a meal still made him feel extremely pained. Therefore, the man in a suit said in a gentlemanly tone, ¡°Forget it, that¡¯s all¡­ If he adds more dishes, the table won¡¯t be able to fit all of them. Moreover, he won¡¯t be able to finish them. It¡¯s a waste! Now, the country is trying to be more resourceful. We should follow the country¡¯s footsteps.¡± It had to be said that the man in a suit put it very well. If Lin Fan continued to add dishes, then he would be labeled as a wastrel. If Lin Fan did not add any more dishes, then there was no doubt that there would be more dishes on his side and the food would be even more delicious¡­ Xia Yan would eat with him. How smart was Lin Fan? He easily understood the meaning in the man¡¯s words, but he did not care. Lin Fan looked at the menu a few more times before closing it again. When the man in the suit saw this, a smug look appeared on his face. He thought that Lin Fan had ordered too many dishes and could not afford to add any more. The man in the suit looked at Lin Fan with disdain. Then, he smiled at Xia Yan. He seemed to have already pictured Xia Yan eating with him. They would talk and laugh during the meal later. At this moment, Lin Fan said, ¡°Waiter, how many employees are here?¡± The waiter was stunned for a moment. However, he had always believed that the customer was always right. ¡°About 100 people. What can I do for you?¡± Lin Fan did some calculations in his heart and said, ¡°There are a total of 101 dishes on this menu. How about this¡­ Bring two servings of all the dishes on the menu¡­ In addition, I¡¯ll get 20 bottles of Flying Maotai, 20 bottles of 2009 Chatea-Lafite, and a total of 50 bottles of various drinks.¡± The waiter was obviously stunned when he heard that. In fact, not only was the waiter stunned, but Xia Yan and the man in the suit were also stunned. That was 202 dishes. Even if the average price of each dish was only 1,000 yuan, it would still cost 200,000 yuan. 20 bottles of Flying Maotai. If each bottle cost 5,000 yuan, that would be 100,000 yuan. 20 bottles of 2009 Chatea-Lafite. Each bottle was about 20,000 yuan, so it was 400,000 yuan. Even without the dishes that Lin Fan had ordered, it was already 700,000 yuan! Xia Yan opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something. ¡°Waiter, didn¡¯t you hear that?¡± the man in the suit said first. ¡°Hurry up and serve the dishes according to this gentleman¡¯s instructions! Could it be that this is how Tribute Garden Restaurant provides services?¡± He did not want to give Lin Fan a chance to go back on his words. He wanted to see Lin Fan make a fool of himself. After a pause, the man in the suit continued, ¡°By the way, this person and I¡­ I don¡¯t have any relationship with him. I¡¯m just a passerby. I just can¡¯t stand your service!¡± He let it be known that he had no relationship with Lin Fan. Otherwise, if Lin Fan suddenly said that he needed to go to the toilet later¡­ He might take the chance to slip away quietly. Before he slipped away, he might even say that his ¡®friend¡¯ would pay for it. Would he not suffer a huge loss then? Similar things often happened in TV shows. The man in a suit was taking precautions. The waiter only came back to his senses after hearing the man in a suit¡¯s words. However, he still repeated, ¡°This¡­ Sir, are you ordering two servings of all the dishes on the menu, 20 bottles of Flying Maotai, 20 bottles of 2009 Chatea-Lafite, and a total of 50 bottles of various drinks?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan said with certainty. The waiter hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°Alright¡­Alright, please wait a moment.¡± Chapter 326 - 326 Who Is He? Our Boss! 326 Who Is He? Our Boss! After the waiter left, the atmosphere became a little dull. Lin Fan remained calm. On the other hand, the man in the suit was all smiles. At this moment, a waiter served the dishes that the man in a suit had just added, filling the table. The colors were gorgeous, and the fragrance assailed the nose¡­ It whetted one¡¯s appetite. The man in the suit took a deep breath and swallowed. He resisted the urge to eat with his chopsticks and said in a gentlemanly tone, ¡°This gentleman ordered more than 200 dishes. I think¡­ it¡¯ll definitely take a long time to serve everything¡­¡± At this point, the man in the suit could not help but laugh. When he thought about the scene of more than 200 dishes being served and Lin Fan not being able to afford them, he was extremely happy. After a while, the man in the suit suppressed his laughter and said, ¡°Ms. Xia, come to my table to eat first.¡± There were indeed many materialistic women in this world. However, even materialistic women mostly disliked fools and nouveau riche. Therefore, the man in the suit felt that Xia Yan would definitely eat with him. However¡­ All of this was just an assumption. Xia Yan said, ¡°Lin Fan ordered more than 200 delicious dishes and dozens of bottles of good wine. Of course, the dishes at his table are more delicious. I can just eat there.¡± The man in the suit opened his mouth and wanted to say something else¡­ At this moment, the waiter who had taken Lin Fan¡¯s order earlier brought a middle-aged man in a black suit who looked very calm and experienced. He walked over in large strides. The waiter pointed at Lin Fan and said, ¡°General Manager, this is the customer who ordered 202 dishes and dozens of bottles of wine.¡± The general manager looked in the direction the waiter was pointing at. In the next moment¡­ His pupils shrank slightly. Today, he suddenly found out that Tribute Garden Restaurant had a new boss. When the general manager saw Lin Fan¡¯s photo, he was shocked. He was too young! The general manager had been thinking about it the entire day¡­ When would he meet this young new boss? He did not expect to see him in the blink of an eye. The general manager ran to Lin Fan and bowed slightly. He said in an extremely respectful tone, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Lin Fan raised his head and asked, ¡°You are?¡± ¡°I¡¯m Tu Zhiqiang, the general manager of Tribute Garden Restaurant.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head. ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m really sorry. I didn¡¯t know you were coming. Otherwise, I would have brought all the staff of Tribute Garden Restaurant to welcome you at the door.¡± Lin Fan waved his hand and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to do all that.¡± Tu Zhiqiang repeatedly nodded. ¡°I heard from the waiter that you ordered more than 200 dishes. Are you going to treat some guests to a meal? We have a luxurious private room upstairs. I¡¯ll arrange it for you now.¡± Lin Fan shook his head. ¡°No need, this is fine. However, after the chef finishes cooking the dishes I ordered, you can stop serving customers. Then, let all the employees come over.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Tu Zhiqiang said. The man in the suit was stunned when he heard their conversation. Lin Fan¡­ How did this young man know the general manager of Tribute Garden Restaurant? Seeing that Tu Zhiqiang was about to leave, the man in the suit could not help but say, ¡°Who exactly is Mr. Lin?¡± ¡°He¡¯s the boss of our Tribute Garden Restaurant!¡± Tu Zhiqiang said. Silence! The entire area suddenly fell silent. The man in the suit was completely dumbfounded. Meanwhile, Xia Yan¡¯s pretty face was filled with splendor. She knew that Lin Fan had a supercar. Therefore, even if he ordered more than 200 dishes and dozens of bottles of good wine, Lin Fan would definitely have no problem paying for them. However, Xia Yan had never thought that Tribute Garden Restaurant belonged to Lin Fan. At this moment, Xia Yan could not help but recall how Lin Fan had asked about the number of employees before ordering the dishes. She had some understanding in her heart. At this moment, exquisite dishes were served one after another, completely filling the surrounding ten tables. On Lin Fan¡¯s table, there were only some dishes that he had ordered. Then, the hundred employees of Tribute Garden Restaurant, including supervisors, waiters, cashiers, chefs, and so on, all put down what they were doing and came to the hall. They stood straight in front of Lin Fan like soldiers who were being inspected. Lin Fan said, ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be so restrained. Just be casual. I know that it¡¯s very tiring for all of you to work here, so I¡¯ll treat everyone to a meal today to comfort you¡­ ¡°Today, your job is to eat and drink well!¡± When the employees heard this, their eyes lit up as they shouted, ¡°Thank you, Boss!¡± One had to know¡­ all the delicious dishes of Tribute Garden Restaurant were placed here! In addition, there were also bottles of Maotai and Lafite that were worth tens of thousands. These¡­ They were all precious and good wines that they did not even dare to imagine. They could enjoy everything today! Then, the employees sat around the tables and ate heartily. The atmosphere at the scene was very heated. Lin Fan picked up a piece of food and put it into his mouth. He nodded and said, ¡°The taste is indeed not bad¡­ Ms. Xia, have some too.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Xia Yan replied with a smile. The man in a suit sitting at the table next to them looked at Xia Yan and Lin Fan talking and laughing. He recalled his previous actions and wished he could find a hole to hide in. He thought of getting up and leaving. However, when the man in the suit saw that he had spent 50,000 yuan on a table of dishes, he forced himself to stay. He picked up his chopsticks and stuffed the delicacies into his mouth. He had to work hard to eat more so that the money he spent would be worth it. He wolfed down the food, his mouth full of grease. Compared to the man who was wolfing down the food, Lin Fan and Xia Yan were leisurely enjoying themselves. After Lin Fan was full, he wiped his mouth and said to the man in the suit, ¡°Now, the country is trying to be resourceful. We should follow in the footsteps of the country! We can¡¯t waste food!¡± The man in the suit, who had been wolfing down his food, blushed when he heard this. These were the words he had said to Lin Fan previously. In the end, Lin Fan returned them to him. Lin Fan did not bother with the man in the suit anymore. He turned to Tu Zhiqiang and said, ¡°Get someone to calculate how much it costs.¡± As he spoke, he handed over a bank card. ¡°Mr. Lin, this¡­¡± Tu Zhiqiang hesitated. After all, Lin Fan was the new boss of Tribute Garden Restaurant. How could a boss treat his employees to a meal in his own restaurant and be charged money? Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯m treating everyone to a meal. Of course, I¡¯m paying for it! Moreover, everyone has invested time and energy in their work. If I can¡¯t even give you a small reward like this, then I, as the boss, am too unreasonable.¡± ¡°Thank you, Boss!¡± Tu Zhiqiang said gratefully.¡± He swiped the bank card on the machine, and a long receipt appeared. It was a total of 90,189 yuan. Obviously, this was more than the money he had estimated earlier. Lin Fan did not care about that at all. At the same time, 90 red packets appeared on his phone, and a clear voice sounded in his mind. [Ding! Do you want to use the food critical hit card?] Chapter 327 - 327 Coincidence; Rescue! 327 Coincidence; Rescue! Lin Fan was not surprised by this notification at all. He thought to himself, ¡®Yes!¡¯ [Ding! The food critical hit card was successfully used, reaching 1,000 times the consumption amount. Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 901,889,000 yuan.] Another 1,000 times! He spent 900,000 yuan to treat his employees to a meal and received 900 million yuan! This deal was worth it! Lin Fan then said to Tu Zhiqiang, ¡°This month, everyone¡¯s bonus will be increased by 10,000 yuan.¡± After all, the 900 million yuan was due to the employees¡¯ contributions. It was reasonable to reward them a little. ¡°Thank you, Boss!¡± All the employees shouted excitedly. Lin Fan looked at the man in the suit who was still eating. Then, he walked out with Xia Yan. Xia Yan was just about to say something to Lin Fan when the phone in her pocket rang. ¡°Alright¡­ ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll come over now.¡± After hanging up, Xia Yan said to Lin Fan helplessly, ¡°I wanted to have a drink with you, but it seems¡­ we can only do it next time.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°There¡¯ll still be opportunities in the future.¡± ¡°See you next time!¡± Xia Yan nodded. After saying that, she got into the Porsche, stepped on the accelerator, and sped off into the distance. Obviously, she had something urgent to attend to. Lin Fan also got into the Mercedes-Benz and sped off into the distance. When he reached a junction, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class suddenly turned off. Lin Fan relied on inertia to stop the car by the side of the road and called for a tow truck. Not long after the Mercedes-Benz G-Class was towed away, a crisp voice rang out not far away. ¡°Lin¡­ Lin Fan?¡± The next moment, his eyes lit up and he said, ¡°Chen Xin!¡± ¡°It really is you!¡± Chen Xin said happily. Then, Chen Xin took a step forward and jogged to Lin Fan. ¡°What a coincidence. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here,¡± Chen Xin said. ¡°Yeah, I didn¡¯t expect it either,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°By the way, didn¡¯t you go to Peng City with your parents to start a business? Why are you in Jiangbei?¡± In the first year of high school, in order to make the students not talk in class, the teacher adopted a method of letting girls and guys be deskmates. Lin Fan and Chen Xin were assigned to be deskmates. At that time, Lin Fan was tall and handsome. Chen Xin was sweet and adorable. Both parties had a good impression of each other. They bought breakfast for each other, went to school together, left school together, and did homework together¡­ However, Chen Xin¡¯s parents had to go to Peng City to do business, so she transferred schools and left. The two of them did not do anything that a couple should do. For a long time, Lin Fan regretted it. At that time, Lin Fan¡¯s family was poor, and he didn¡¯t have a phone. The two of them lost contact just like that. However, they did not expect to meet again after so many years. In Lin Fan¡¯s memory, Chen Xin had always been wearing a blue and white school uniform. She had her hair tied up in a ponytail, and her body was relatively thin. Chen Xin was a budding flower back in school, and she was thought to become the most beautiful girl in the world in the future. The present Chen Xin was a gorgeous flower that had completely bloomed, causing people to be mesmerized. Lin Fan could not help but use his Eyes of True Sight to observe Chen Xin. [Appearance: 96] [Favorability: 80] ¡°The land price in Peng City has been too expensive these past few years,¡± Chen Xin said. ¡°My dad felt that it wasn¡¯t worth it, so he came back to Jiangbei. ¡°Are you based in Jiangbei?¡± she asked. ¡°For now,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°I¡¯m studying at Jiangbei University.¡± ¡°Jiangbei University? Lin Fan, you¡¯re amazing!¡± As Chen Xin spoke, her beautiful eyes lit up. Lin Fan rubbed his nose and said, ¡°What about you? Are you working in Jiangbei?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m a nurse at Central Hospital,¡± Chen Xin said. At this moment, on the sidewalk not far away, a man in his 30s fell to the ground. The passersby could not help but let out a wave of discussions and screams. ¡°Someone fainted!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± ¡°Should I call an ambulance?¡± ¡­ The reason why Chen Xin became a nurse was definitely not to make a living. It was because she loved this profession very much. She felt a sense of pride and joy from the bottom of her heart. Therefore, when she heard that someone had fainted, she did not bother to continue chatting with Lin Fan. She ran toward the fainted man and shouted, ¡°I¡¯m a nurse from Central Hospital.¡± The onlookers quickly made way for her. ¡°A nurse is here!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± ¡­ Chen Xin first checked the man¡¯s pupils, then she placed her hand on the man¡¯s nose to feel his breathing. She felt that the man¡¯s breathing was very weak. Therefore, Chen Xin kept pressing on the man¡¯s chest with her hands to perform first aid. Her movements were very standard. However, sometimes¡­ It was not possible to successfully save someone just by relying on first aid. The man¡¯s breathing became weaker and weaker, and his face was pale as if he would die at any moment. The surrounding pedestrians also noticed this and began to discuss it. ¡°No, this man can¡¯t take it anymore.¡± ¡°Is this woman a nurse or not?¡± ¡­ Rescuing was a very exhausting task. Chen Xin continued to perform emergency treatment for a few minutes. Beads of sweat gradually seeped out of her snow-white skin. She listened to the discussions of the people around her and felt the man¡¯s breathing getting weaker and weaker. She was physically and mentally exhausted. A deep sense of powerlessness and self-denial filled his heart. At this moment¡­ Lin Fan said, ¡°Let me do it. I can save him.¡± Lin Fan¡¯s words were like a stream of spring water that washed over Chen Xin¡¯s dry heart. As he spoke, Lin Fan spent ten million yuan to buy a bottle of Medical Water from the system. Then, he poured it into the man¡¯s mouth. To the current Lin Fan, ten million yuan for a bottle of Medical Water was nothing. Of course, he was not a good person who would immediately save someone when he saw them fall sick. If that were the case, then no matter how much money Lin Fan had, it would not be enough to save everybody. Lin Fan did it for Chen Xin. He wanted her to be happy. After the man drank the medicine, his breathing became much more stable. Then, his face gradually became rosy. Seeing this¡­ The passersby around them shouted, ¡°He seems to be fine now!¡± ¡°Yes, he looks much better!¡± ¡°There should be no problem.¡± ¡­ As if to verify what the passersby said, the man lying on the ground slowly opened his eyes. He seemed to be in a daze. He looked around blankly and got up to leave. The passersby immediately shouted. ¡°Hey, someone saved you and you didn¡¯t even say thank you?¡± ¡°Where are your manners?!¡± The man finally reacted and turned to Lin Fan and Chen Xin. ¡°Thank you.¡± Chapter 328 - 328 Watching a Movie Together; Secretly! 328 Watching a Movie Together; Secretly! The man¡¯s hair was a little messy because of the fall. However, the man did not care. After he finished speaking, he continued to walk into the distance. When he walked into an alley, he took out his phone. After a moment of hesitation, he made a call. ¡°Is this Brother Zhang?¡± ¡°What is it?¡± A deep voice came from the phone. ¡°I want to sell my organs,¡± the man with messy hair said. ¡°Oh? Who are you? Where did you get my number?¡± the deep voice said. ¡°I have cancer. I heard about you from a patient¡­ I want to trade my body for some good days,¡± the man said. ¡°Alright!¡± the deep voice said. ¡­ The surrounding pedestrians, Lin Fan, Chen Xin, and the others had no idea about the phone call between the man with the messy hair and the other man. Seeing that there was no more fun to watch, the surrounding pedestrians scattered. ¡°Lin Fan, you know how to save people?¡± Chen Xin asked. Lin Fan waved his hand and smiled. ¡°It was just a coincidence.¡± ¡°That was too close. I thought that man was going to die¡­¡± Chen Xin nodded. Speaking of this, Chen Xin seemed to recall the scene of the man almost losing his ability to breathe, and her entire face turned slightly pale. ¡°I¡¯ve only seen this happen in movies,¡± Chen Xin said after a while. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to experience it personally.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head in agreement. Chen Xin laughed and said, ¡°When we were deskmates, we even said that we wanted to watch a movie together¡­ In the end, even until I transferred schools, we still didn¡¯t manage to¡­¡± After saying this, Chen Xin¡¯s pretty face revealed a hint of reminiscence. It was as if she had returned to the carefree, youthful days when she had a ponytail. Then, Chen Xin said with a tone full of anticipation, ¡°Lin Fan, why don¡¯t we go watch a movie now?¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Fan smiled. As she spoke, she took out her car keys and pressed them lightly. Not far away, the headlights of a red Mini Cooper flashed slightly. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan could not help but reveal a strange look. Another Mini Cooper? Why were all the women related to him driving Mini Coopers? Not long after, the two of them arrived at Giant Screen Shadow City not far away. Lin Fan and Chen Xin were not picky about which movie to watch. Hence, they chose ¡®The Past Us¡¯, which would be playing in ten minutes. The plot of this movie was relatively simple. However, it was basically a retelling of all the things that Lin Fan and Chen Xin should have experienced but did not. The two of them watched it very seriously. After the movie ended, Lin Fan and Chen Xin became even closer. When the two of them walked out of the cinema, there was a sudden exclamation from the side. ¡°Chen Xin!¡± A woman wearing a gray T-shirt and blue jeans walked over. She had an oval face and scored about 80 points in beauty. ¡°Zhimin!¡± Chen Xin turned around and said. Zhang Zhimin first looked at Lin Fan and chuckled. ¡°No wonder you didn¡¯t want to watch a movie with me. It turns out that you had a date with a handsome man.¡± Chen Xin¡¯s pretty face blushed as she said, ¡°Uhh¡­ Zhimin¡­¡± ¡°Alright, alright, I understand! I won¡¯t disturb your sweet time with this handsome man today. However, when there¡¯s a chance, you must treat me to a meal!¡± Zhang Zhimin smiled. Then, she sighed and said, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that those handsome men in our hospital are going to be heartbroken.¡± Zhang Zhimin did not wait for Chen Xin¡¯s explanation and strode away. Chen Xin looked at Lin Fan shyly and stuttered, ¡°She¡­ She just loves to joke.¡± After a pause, Chen Xin continued, ¡°The main character in the movie kept eating hotpot. I¡¯m starting to crave it. There¡¯s a hotpot restaurant nearby. Let¡¯s go and eat together.¡± It was true that scenes of the characters eating hotpot appeared a lot in the movie. Lin Fan was also craving it. He smiled and said, ¡°I want to eat hotpot too. Let¡¯s go.¡± Chen Xin¡¯s face immediately broke into a smile. Not long after, the two of them arrived at a hotpot restaurant called Haoyu. They had just walked to the door when they were greeted by a fragrant and spicy smell. They looked inside and saw that most of the tables were filled with people. Everyone was eating and chatting very comfortably. After Lin Fan and Chen Xin sat down, they ordered some prawn rolls, beef rolls, and mutton rolls. As the spicy broth boiled, the two of them ate until their foreheads were covered in sweat, and the atmosphere became even more heated. They began to tell stories about their high school, complaining about their high school teachers and classmates. They also chatted about each other¡¯s experiences¡­ They would laugh from time to time, looking extremely happy. The two of them ate for a long time. When the sky turned completely dark, their meal slowly ended. Lin Fan and Chen Xin walked along the winding street. Their shadows were long and long under the light. At this moment, it was as if they had returned to their high school days. ¡­ At this moment, the man with the messy hair was blindfolded. He got into a van and arrived at a dilapidated factory. When he took off his blindfold, he saw many fierce men standing around him. The man with the messy hair was flustered and could not help but swallow his saliva. The man with stubble who sat in front said, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± The man with messy hair recognized that this was Brother Zhang, whom he had just called. ¡°Yu¡­ Yu Huan.¡± Brother Zhang said, ¡°You have cancer and you want to sell your organs?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± the man said. ¡°But do you know this? After getting cancer, your internal organs have all changed! Are you trying to make fun of me?¡± Brother Zhang shouted. A group of fierce-looking men walked toward the man with messy hair. It looked as if they wanted to cut him into pieces immediately. The man with the messy hair was so frightened that his entire body trembled. He stuttered, ¡°I¡­ I didn¡¯t know. I just want to live a more relaxed life¡­¡± Brother Zhang pondered for a moment and said in a clear voice, ¡°Although your internal organs are affected, your corneas can still be used!¡± As soon as he said that, the surrounding fiendish people stopped in their tracks. The man with messy hair also heaved a sigh of relief. This was just Brother Zhang¡¯s method of probing. After all, this was a very dangerous line of work. If they were not careful, they would end up in jail. The performance of the man with messy hair just now clearly showed that he had passed Brother Zhang¡¯s test. ¡°How much money can I get?¡± the man asked. ¡°50,000!¡± Brother Zhang said. ¡°Alright!¡± the man gritted his teeth and said. Brother Zhang said, ¡°First, we¡¯ll draw a tube of blood from you. Then, you¡¯ll be given a 20,000 yuan deposit. Within three months, we¡¯ll come and collect the items and pay you the rest of the money.¡± As he spoke, he took out two stacks of red banknotes. Chapter 329 - 329 Gathering; Very Familiar! 329 Gathering; Very Familiar! The next day. Chen Xin arrived at Jiangbei Central Hospital in a pure white nurse uniform. From the moment she walked into the hospital, she did not even have the time to greet her colleagues. She checked the wards, gave an infusion, and made calls¡­ This only stopped when it was time for her to change shifts. Although she was tired, Chen Xin felt very fulfilled and proud. The tall and thin nurse who was on the same shift as Chen Xin asked, ¡°How about we hang out tonight?¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Zhang Zhimin said. The male doctor wearing silver-rimmed glasses asked, ¡°Chen Xin, do you want to go?¡± Before Chen Xin could reply, Zhang Zhimin giggled and said, ¡°Xin Xin, are you going on a date with that handsome guy today?¡± Chen Xin¡¯s pretty face turned red. When the tall and thin nurse heard this, her urge to gossip burned within her. ¡°What handsome guy? Xin Xin, tell me. I don¡¯t know anything about this yet.¡± Chen Xin said, ¡°¡­Actually, he was my high school deskmate.¡± ¡°Heavens! Is this the real-life version of those romance movies?¡± the tall and thin nurse shouted with excitement. Zhang Zhimin obviously did not expect Lin Fan to be Chen Xin¡¯s high school deskmate. She also revealed a look of excitement. They were excited, but the doctor wearing silver-rimmed glasses beside them had a very ugly expression. The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses had always liked Chen Xin. It was because of this that he used his connections to transfer to Chen Xin¡¯s department. He also kept his schedule consistent with Chen Xin¡¯s. He just wanted to be close to her. However, what was the result? In the end, Chen Xin was actually won over by someone else!? How could this not anger the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses? The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses took two deep breaths and tried his best to calm himself down before saying, ¡°Let¡¯s hang out together today and relax. Chen Xin, ask your high school deskmate to come over too. That way, we can meet him. What do you think?¡± ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°I agree!¡± The two nurses and the round-faced doctor agreed. Chen Xin said, ¡°But¡­ He¡¯s really just my high school deskmate.¡± ¡°Alright, alright, we know. It¡¯s still fine to have a meal together,¡± Nurse Zhang Zhimin said. Chen Xin had no choice but to send a message to Lin Fan. Chen Xin asked: [Can you come to Central Hospital later and have a meal with me and my friends?] ¡­ At this moment, Lin Fan was lying on the sofa in the Coiling Dragon Villa. When he saw the message on his phone, his fingers moved quickly as he replied. Lin Fan replied: [Alright, I¡¯ll be right there.] After all, it was already lunchtime. Moreover, he enjoyed the meal yesterday. The Mercedes-Benz G was still undergoing maintenance work. Hence, Lin Fan got into the Lamborghini and stepped on the accelerator. The exhaust pipe immediately spewed out a wisp of smoke. The entire car was like a roaring beast as it sped forward. About 20 minutes later, he parked the car in the parking lot of Jiangbei Central Hospital. At this moment, Chen Xin happened to come downstairs and called out, ¡°Lin Fan!¡± As she spoke, she jogged to Lin Fan. ¡°He¡¯s really handsome!¡± The tall and thin nurse behind praised. ¡°Xin Xin, you have good taste!¡± ¡°My colleagues said that they want to have a gathering¡­¡± Chen Xin explained. ¡°They kept asking me to call you over. I¡¯m not wasting your time, am I?¡± Lin Fan laughed and said, ¡°How could it be? Moreover, it¡¯s more lively with more people eating together.¡± A smile appeared on Chen Xin¡¯s face. ¡°Why are you standing here?¡± Zhang Zhimin asked. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the restaurant and chat while eating.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± the tall and thin nurse said. Then, Chen Xin took out her car keys and pressed them lightly. The Mini Cooper¡¯s headlights flashed slightly not far away. ¡°Lin Fan, let¡¯s go. My car is over there!¡± Chen Xin said. Initially, Lin Fan wanted to drive his Lamborghini. However, after hearing Chen Xin¡¯s words, he followed her and walked toward the Mini Cooper. It did not matter if he did not drive the Lamborghini. When the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses saw this, he thought to himself, ¡®Lin Fan doesn¡¯t have a car?¡¯ He first looked at Lin Fan with disdain. Then, his eyes moved slightly as if he was planning something. ¡°Doctor Liu, I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t ride in Xin Xin¡¯s car. Do you mind if we ride in your BMW 530?¡± ¡°Of course not,¡± the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses said. Before long, the group arrived at the entrance of a restaurant called Rolling Restaurant. Before they could enter, they heard loud noises. Looking inside, almost all the tables were filled with people. Business was booming. When the waiter saw Lin Fan and the others, he quickly came over and asked, ¡°How many of you are there?¡± ¡°Six!¡± Zhang Zhimin said. The waiter brought them to a six-seater table in the middle. After the few of them ordered, the tall and thin nurse said, ¡°Xin Xin, you haven¡¯t even married him yet and you¡¯re already helping your handsome boyfriend save money? I thought we were going to eat abalone and lobster today.¡± ¡°Lin Fan is my high school deskmate,¡± Chen Xin said shyly. ¡°I¡¯m paying for this meal today.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, he¡¯s your high school deskmate.¡± ¡°Lin Fan, are you also in the medical field?¡± asked the round-faced doctor. ¡°No, I¡¯m still studying at Jiangbei University,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Not bad, not bad! A student from Jiangbei University!¡± the tall and thin nurse said. The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses looked at Lin Fan with even more disdain. After all this time, he was still a student. Perhaps, in the eyes of many ordinary people, being able to get into Jiangbei University was a very impressive thing. However, in the eyes of the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses, it was nothing. How many graduates from famous universities spent money to become interns under him? Even if they worked themselves to death every day, these interns still did not manage to stay. ¡°Oh, right. I remember that Dr. Liu graduated from Jiangbei University as well, right?¡± asked the tall and thin nurse.¡± The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses puffed out his chest and said, ¡°Yes, I did!¡± Then, he said in the tone of an elder, ¡°Lin Fan, is there a teacher called Feng Weijian in your school?¡± Lin Fan and Feng Weijian had seen each other several times. Most people would remember someone after seeing them so many times. Furthermore, Lin Fan had a photographic memory. ¡°Yes, he¡¯s the vice-chancellor of our school.¡± The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses sighed. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to be the vice-chancellor already¡­ I remember that he was just the director of the school at that time¡­¡± At this point, the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses had a look of reminiscence on his face. ¡°Dr. Liu, are you very familiar with Vice-Chancellor Feng?¡± the tall and thin nurse asked.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! At that time, I was the president of the student union. I had a very good relationship with him¡­ Ever since I graduated, he often sent me messages to ask about my recent situation,¡± the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses said. Chapter 330 - 330 Singing; Young People Should Go on Stage More Often! 330 Singing; Young People Should Go on Stage More Often! The tall and thin nurse, the round-faced doctor, and Zhang Zhimin all gave him a thumbs-up and exclaimed in admiration. ¡°Dr. Liu, you¡¯re amazing?!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t believe you¡¯re so close to the vice-chancellor of Jiangbei University!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never seen the chancellor of my school.¡± ¡°Dr. Liu, you have to ask the vice-chancellor to take care of Lin Fan.¡± ¡­ When the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses heard everyone¡¯s praise, he felt a little smug. He clasped his hands behind his back and raised his head. ¡°Since we know each other now¡­ Lin Fan, I¡¯ll talk to Vice-Chancellor Feng about you later.¡± As he spoke, he did not forget to glance at Chen Xin. It was as if he was saying, ¡®Chen Xin, I¡¯m familiar with the vice-chancellor. That¡¯s how amazing I am!¡¯ At this moment, a crisp sound came from the stage. ¡°Welcome to Rolling Restaurant. Today, we¡¯ve prepared a singing performance for everyone! Anyone who can score above 90 points on stage will receive a 2,000 yuan voucher. Everyone is welcome to sing on stage! ¡°Here, I¡¯ll sing a song for everyone to get things started.¡± As soon as the person finished speaking, a burst of light music sounded from the restaurant. The host slowly opened his mouth and sang a cheerful song. After the song ended, two numbers appeared on the big screen behind him¡ª85! The venue immediately erupted into extremely enthusiastic applause. The tall and thin nurse said, ¡°If you sing, you¡¯ll have a chance to get a 2,000-yuan voucher. Dr. Liu, you¡¯re a talent in our hospital. Hurry up and sing a song!¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± the round-faced doctor said. The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses did not expect that there would be a singing event with a voucher as a prize today. Just as the tall and thin nurse and the round-faced doctor said, he was indeed a person with talents and was often proud of it. During this period of time, he had been looking forward to the hospital holding a cultural gala. When the time came, he would definitely sign up to sing on stage. Unfortunately¡­ the hospital was too busy, and there were not many opportunities to hold cultural galas. Unexpectedly, he could sing in front of Chen Xin today! The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses could already see Chen Xin¡¯s infatuated expression after hearing his singing. A faint smile appeared on his face. Hence, the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses said, ¡°Since you¡¯ve put it that way, I¡¯ll go up and sing. However, I hope you won¡¯t laugh at me if I don¡¯t sing well!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the silver-rimmed glasses doctor strode up to the stage. ¡°God said that in my previous life, I had to look back 300 times in exchange for a chance encounter in this life. Today, we¡¯re able to meet each other, and I¡¯m standing here singing for everyone. This shows that we had a great relationship in our previous life, and we have a great fate in this life¡­¡± The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses did not sing. Instead, he started to talk about what he thought was philosophical. With this, he thought that he would be able to raise his status. At the same time, he secretly expressed to Chen Xin the fate between them. He believed that he had planted a seed in Chen Xin¡¯s heart. As long as he finished singing later, he would definitely be able to let this seed gradually take root, germinate, and grow healthily. After a while, the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses said, ¡°Next up, I¡¯ll be singing a song called ¡®Fate¡¯. I hope everyone will like it.¡± The music started¡­ The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses closed his eyes and opened his mouth. ¡°Even if there was no agreement in our previous life, we¡¯ve been waiting foolishly in this life. ¡°Is it fate to be together in the vast sea of people? Why not let bygones be bygones¡­¡± ¡­ The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses deliberately dragged out his tone, and his voice sounded cadenced to emphasize his own voice. He felt that this would make him look more affectionate and attract Chen Xin¡¯s attention. ¡°Only two people who love each other and know each other can help each other through this life.¡± After the last line of the lyrics was sung, the music stopped. Then, the big screen behind him showed the score¡ª78! He was quite satisfied with this score. However, when he returned to his seat, he sighed and said, ¡°Look¡­ You wanted me to go up and sing. Now I¡¯ve made a fool of myself, haven¡¯t I?¡± ¡°You call this making a fool?¡± the tall and thin nurse asked. ¡°Dr. Liu, you sang very well! All of our hands were swollen from clapping! In fact, I think you almost sounded the same as the original singer!¡± The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses waved his hand and said, ¡°Don¡¯t flatter me. How can I compare to the original singer? My score is only 78 points.¡± He looked ashamed on the surface, but he was so happy that he could not control himself. Everyone¡¯s hands were swollen? Did this not mean that Chen Xin was also clapping hard for him? As expected, his singing was very charming! If he had done this a little earlier¡­ Perhaps Chen Xin would¡­ However, someone else had taken the lead! Even so¡­ He still had a chance! Thinking of this, the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses shifted his eyes and smiled. ¡°If you ask me, students are the best at singing.¡± Then, the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses looked refreshed and said, ¡°Oh right, Lin Fan, aren¡¯t you a student? Why don¡¯t you go on stage and sing? Maybe you can get more than 90 points and win a 2,000-yuan voucher. In that case, we can have this meal for free!¡± He thought he had just sung a beautiful song. As long as Lin Fan went up to sing, both their performances would definitely be able to form a stark contrast in Chen Xin¡¯s heart. The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses thought that his words and performance on stage earlier had planted a seed in Chen Xin¡¯s heart. If Lin Fan were to sing on stage, it would water and fertilize the seed, speeding up the seed¡¯s sprouting and growth! The tall and thin nurse followed up, saying, ¡°That¡¯s right, Lin Fan. Hurry up and go up on the stage to sing. It doesn¡¯t cost anything anyway.¡± ¡°This is a good opportunity!¡± the round-faced doctor said. The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses saw that Lin Fan was sitting there without moving. Thus, he used the tone of an elder again and said, ¡°Lin Fan, young people should go on stage more often. Don¡¯t be afraid and don¡¯t be shy. ¡°When I was the president of the student council at Jiangbei University, I often spoke on stage and slowly trained myself.¡± When the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses said this, a hint of reminiscence appeared on his face. He looked as if he had returned to his university days. At this moment, Lin Fan said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go up and sing.¡± The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses acted like an elder. He placed his hands behind his back and nodded slightly. He sneered in his heart. A young man was indeed a young man. He was fooled by a few words. In reality? No matter how much he said, Lin Fan would not care. Lin Fan only agreed because he saw¡­ the look of anticipation on Chen Xin¡¯s pretty face. Chapter 331 - 331 Lifting a Stone and Smashing It at His Own Foot! 331 Lifting a Stone and Smashing It at His Own Foot! After hearing that Lin Fan had agreed to go on stage to sing, the tall and thin nurse, the round-faced doctor, and Zhang Zhimin were all very happy. Chen Xin¡¯s beautiful eyes seemed to be flickering with light. Under everyone¡¯s anticipation, Lin Fan slowly walked onto the stage. Unlike the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses, he did not say a lot of nonsense after he went on stage. Instead, he picked up the microphone and said, ¡°The song I¡¯m going to sing is called Galaxy.¡± ¡­ ¡°It¡¯s Galaxy! This is the most popular song recently!¡± the tall and thin nurse said. ¡°I really like this song!¡± Zhang Zhimin said. Chen Xin¡¯s pretty face was filled with anticipation. The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses sneered in his heart. He had to admit that Galaxy was really good and had been very popular recently. However, this song had a fast tempo, and some parts of the song had a lot of ups and downs. That was what gave the song its unique charm. All in all, it was very difficult to sing. Moreover, this song was only released less than a month ago. This meant that Lin Fan did not have much time to learn this song. The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses could almost imagine how terrible Lin Fan¡¯s singing would be later and how disappointed Chen Xin would be¡­ As he thought of this, the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses could not help but smile. However, how would he know that this song was written by Lin Fan? Why would he need to learn how to sing it? Of course, even if he really needed to learn how to sing it, Lin Fan could do it easily. He would have no problems learning a song that was released a day ago, let alone a song that was less than a month old. One had to know¡­ Lin Fan had Heavenly Voice and photographic memory. At this moment, music started playing. Lin Fan opened his mouth as well. ¡°It was a clear, cloudless night, and a full moon hung in the sky. ¡°Her long clothes are dancing in the wind. She¡¯s as soft as feathers, as light as a swan, and as fair as jade¡­¡± The entire restaurant fell silent! Originally, there were still many people eating, drinking, and chatting¡­ At this moment, everyone suddenly stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to the stage. The tall and thin nurse, Zhang Zhimin, the round-faced doctor, and the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses were all completely stunned. Chen Xin¡¯s beautiful eyes sparkled even brighter. She was completely immersed in Lin Fan¡¯s singing, unable to extricate herself. At this moment, in Chen Xin¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan was riding on a golden longsword and carrying her up into the heavens where they roamed the universe¡­ Everything was so fascinating. ¡°In the end, I split apart the chaos and the universe with a single sword strike!¡± The song ended. The music stopped. The entire restaurant was still very quiet. After a while, thunderous applause suddenly sounded. ¡°It sounded so good!¡± ¡°It was so good!¡± ¡°I used to be a fan of Ling Rou. Now, I¡¯m a fan of this guy!¡± ¡°Look at the score¡­ Heavens, 100 points!¡± ¡°This is too amazing!¡± ¡°Hey, sing another song!¡± ¡°Please, handsome! Sing another song!¡± ¡­ However, Lin Fan did not care and walked off the stage. ¡°Ah! I was so engrossed in listening that I forgot to take a video!¡± a short girl said regretfully. ¡°Hehe, I recorded it. I¡¯ll upload it to Weishi later. You can just watch it directly there,¡± the tall boy beside her said. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± the short girl said in surprise. ¡°Quickly upload it!¡± The tall boy turned on his Weishi app, but he was soon stunned. ¡°That¡¯s strange. Where¡¯s the video I took?¡± ¡­ In fact, it was not just the tall boy who was puzzled. Many people in Rolling Restaurant had the same doubts. That was because all the videos they had taken had all disappeared. This was normal¡­ One had to know that Lin Fan did not like to show his face. How could he let these videos leak out? ¡°Lil White, have you deleted all the videos?¡± The watch on his wrist flashed slightly. When Lin Fan returned to his seat, Zhang Zhimin was like a little fangirl, shouting excitedly, ¡°Lin Fan, your singing is so good!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never heard anyone sing so well!¡± the tall and thin nurse called out. ¡°Lin Fan, I didn¡¯t know you could sing so well,¡± Chen Xin also said. Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°Dr. Liu asked me to give it a try, so I went to sing a song. Who knew that I would get 100 points so easily?¡± When the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses heard this, his face turned extremely ugly. Yes, he was the one who asked the kid to give it a try. However, he wanted to form a sharp contrast between Lin Fan and himself so that Chen Xin would be disappointed in Lin Fan! What was the situation now? It was the complete opposite! The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses felt like he had lifted a rock and smashed it in his own foot. It hurt! ¡°Yeah!¡± the tall and thin nurse said. ¡°100 points! Does that mean we can get a 2,000-yuan coupon?¡± At this moment, the host walked over and said, ¡°Hello, sir. Your performance just now was graded 100 points. This is your prize.¡± As he spoke, he handed over ten 200-yuan coupons. Lin Fan waved the vouchers in his hand and said, ¡°Looks like¡­ I¡¯ll be treating you guys to this meal.¡± ¡°Lin Fan, what a coincidence. I actually met you here and even heard you sing such a nice song!¡± A familiar voice sounded behind everyone. When Lin Fan heard it, he turned around. When he saw who it was, his face immediately revealed a touch of surprise. The man was none other than Feng Weijian, the vice-chancellor of Jiangbei University. ¡°I was just singing casually.¡± ¡°Singing casually? Just like how you solve difficult problems?¡± Feng Weijian laughed. He was joking. However, he did not know that it was the truth. Lin Fan glanced at the silver-rimmed glasses doctor who had been standing at the side and said, ¡°Dr. Liu, didn¡¯t you just say that Vice-Chancellor Feng often checks in on you? Now that he¡¯s here in person, you can talk to him face-to-face.¡± ¡°¡­Talk face-to-face?¡± The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses was stunned. ¡°Who is this?¡± Feng Weijian asked in confusion. ¡°Oh, he¡¯s Dr. Liu from Jiangbei Central Hospital. He said that he used to be the student union president at Jiangbei University. When you were the director, he was very close to you. You often sent messages to check in on him even after he graduated¡­ He was just about to mention me to you,¡± Lin Fan said. Feng Weijian was a smart man. He could easily tell that Lin Fan had a conflict with this Dr. Liu. Who was Lin Fan? He was a mathematician and a great scientist who solved several global mathematical problems, invented the earthquake prediction device, and invented the super battery! Lin Fan was Jiangbei University¡¯s biggest treasure! It could be said that Jiangbei University could lose Feng Weijian, but they could never lose Lin Fan. If someone provoked Lin Fan, Feng Weijian naturally would not hold back. He glanced coldly at the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses and said, ¡°Oh? I have a good relationship with you? May I know your name?¡± Chapter 332 - 332 Whos Your Counselor? Return! 332 Who¡¯s Your Counselor? Return! When the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses saw Feng Weijian for the first time, he felt a sense of familiarity. However, he did not associate Feng Weijian with the vice-chancellor of Jiangbei University. He did not even know Feng Weijian¡­ Obviously, what the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses said about having a good relationship with the vice-chancellor was just a joke. In fact¡­ The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses had only met Feng Weijian twice before. Not long ago, he accidentally learned that Feng Weijian had become the vice-chancellor. When he heard that Lin Fan was a student at Jiangbei University, the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses made up such a story in order to establish his superior status. The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses thought that the few people present could not verify his statement at all. However, he did not expect Feng Weijian to be in Rolling Restaurant. More importantly, Feng Weijian was actually very close to Lin Fan! This¡­ Could it be such a coincidence? The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses opened his mouth but did not say anything. ¡°What?¡± Feng Weijian frowned. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m not Feng Weijian, the vice-chancellor of Jiangbei University and so you don¡¯t want to tell me your name?¡± As he spoke, Feng Weijian began to rummage through the briefcase in his hand. The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses quickly said, ¡°No¡­ No, my name is Liu Yonghao¡­¡± Even though he said his name, Feng Weijian still took out his work pass and slammed it on the table. There was a line of bold words that read¡ªFeng Weijian, vice-chancellor of Jiangbei University. ¡°Oh?¡± Feng Weijian finally reacted. ¡°Liu Yonghao? Which batch are you from? Who was your counselor?¡± ¡°I¡¯m from the 11th batch, and my counselor was Zheng Xianghong,¡± said Liu Yonghao honestly. ¡°A student of Xianghong¡¯s?¡± Feng Weijian nodded thoughtfully. He took out his phone and dialed a number, then pressed the speaker button. ¡°Hello, Vice-Chancellor Feng. Is there anything I can help you with?¡± A magnetic voice came from the phone. ¡°Xianghong, I want to ask you something¡­¡± Feng Weijian said. ¡°Is there a student called Liu Yonghao from your 11th batch?¡± ¡°Liu Yonghao? Oh, there is such a student,¡± Zheng Xianghong said after thinking for a moment. ¡°Was he the president of the student council before this?¡± Feng Weijian said. ¡°No!¡± Zheng Xianghong said straightforwardly. ¡°You remember it so clearly?¡± Feng Weijian said. ¡°When you said his name, I only had a slight impression of him¡­¡± Zheng Xianghong explained. ¡°But after thinking about it, I remember that he used to be a discipline committee member of the class. In the end, he got into a fight with someone and was punished for it. ¡°How can he be the president of the student council after being punished?¡± ¡°I see,¡± Feng Weijian said.¡± I understand, Xianghong. Thank you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter. Vice-Chancellor Feng, you¡¯re too polite,¡± said Zheng Xianghong. After hanging up the phone, Feng Weijian looked at Liu Yonghao indifferently. How could he not know that Liu Yonghao had been bragging all along? If it were under normal circumstances, he would not have bothered. However, Liu Yonghao had offended Lin Fan. In this case, he had to be more serious! ¡­ First, Liu Yonghao met Feng Weijian, which exposed the lie that he was familiar with the vice-chancellor of Jiangbei University. Then, Feng Weijian called his counselor in public and exposed the truth that he was never the president of the student council. The bullsh*t that he had just bragged about in front of everyone was directly exposed in the blink of an eye. At this moment, Liu Yonghao¡¯s entire face was flushed red. He wished he could find a hole to hide in. The tall and thin nurse, the round-faced doctor, and Zhang Zhimin wanted to laugh when they saw Feng Weijian¡¯s expression. At this moment, colorful dishes were served one after another. Although the ingredients were ordinary, the taste was not bad. In addition, from time to time, someone would go on stage and sing a song, though they sounded like a ghost¡¯s howls. Lin Fan, Chen Xin, the lanky nurse, Zhang Zhimin, and the round-faced doctor were all eating happily. Only Liu Yonghao felt as if he was chewing wax and sitting on pins and needles. Every second felt like a year to him. After two hours of eating and chatting, the meal finally came to an end. Liu Yonghao quickly left Rolling Restaurant alone with the excuse that he had something to do at home. Initially, Chen Xin wanted to send Zhang Zhimin and the tall and thin nurse home. However, they said that they did not want to be the third wheel. Hence, after leaving the restaurant, they called a taxi. Soon, Chen Xin and Lin Fan were the only two people in the cute and cozy Mini Cooper. Perhaps it was because of the confined space, both of them felt a little stuffy. ¡°You still haven¡¯t told me when you were able to sing so well.¡± Chen Xin finally spoke after a while.¡± Speaking of singing, Chen Xin seemed to be unable to move on from his performance. She closed her eyes slowly and seemed to hear Lin Fan¡¯s singing again. Lin Fan said, ¡°Probably last year¡­¡± He was not spouting nonsense. This was because he had obtained the system last year and obtained Heavenly Voice, which was why he could sing so well. ¡°Last year? Did you sign up for a training class?¡± Chen Xin asked. ¡°That¡¯s not the case. I probably just suddenly became enlightened¡­¡± Lin Fan said. After all, no one would believe him even if he told them about the system. Chen Xin and Lin Fan chatted while driving, occasionally laughing. She did not know why, but today, she was interested in everything about Lin Fan. Before long, the two of them arrived at a winding street. This was the path they had walked together yesterday. Yesterday, when the two of them walked together, it was more like a familiar feeling between friends who had not seen each other for many years. Today, they felt a different kind of closeness. The two of them walked side by side, slowly moving forward. At this moment, a dim yellow light lit up above Lin Fan¡¯s and Chen Xin¡¯s heads. Just like yesterday, their shadows continued to lengthen. Today, the shadows seemed to be even closer to each other. One step, two steps, three steps¡­ The two of them kept moving forward, and their shadows kept getting closer and closer¡­ They gradually intersected with each other. The empty streets, the intersecting figures¡­ For some reason, Chen Xin suddenly recalled the scene when she sat at the same table as Lin Fan. The scene of them meeting yesterday, the scene of them eating hotpot, and the scene of Lin Fan singing today¡­ These scenes were like a movie, rippling in Chen Xin¡¯s mind. The next moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! Charming Aura activated, triggered an unforgettable memory!] Lin Fan was stunned. What was going on? Was he not just walking? Could this also trigger an unforgettable memory? Who was the target of this trigger? Chen Xin? Thinking of this, Lin Fan could not help but use his Eyes of True Sight to observe. [Appearance: 96] [Favorability: 95] It was indeed her! At this moment, Chen Xin suddenly stopped in her tracks. She stood on her tiptoes and walked toward Lin Fan. Warm and moist! Chapter 333 - 333 Warrior, Fighter! 333 Warrior, Fighter! The next morning. The man with messy hair carried his bag and walked on the straight sidewalk with his head lowered. On the one-way road ahead, a young man was wearing headphones. He was listening to music while dancing in the middle of the road. At this moment, a van came from behind. It seemed to be in a hurry and kept honking at the young man. However¡­ It was unknown if it was because the young man¡¯s earphones were too good at noise cancellation or if he was used to walking in the middle of the road, but he did not have any intention of moving aside. This action quickly angered the van driver. He stepped on the accelerator and knocked the young man to the ground. Blood immediately gushed out of the young man¡¯s knee as he lay on the ground and wailed. ¡°How dare you hit me?! Don¡¯t even think about leaving today!¡± At this moment, two men with buzz cuts walked out of the van. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about leaving?¡± One of the men said coldly. ¡°That¡¯s not up to you!¡± As they spoke, the two men with buzz cuts dragged the young man and threw him to the side like trash. Then, they turned around to return to the van. However, the young man was unwilling. First, he was knocked down by them. Then, he was thrown aside like trash¡­ How could he tolerate this? After he got up from the ground, he stood in the middle of the road, raised his neck, and shouted, ¡°Someone, help! They hit someone! They hit someone! Come and help me!¡± The two men frowned slightly and were about to throw the young man aside again. At this moment, a bearded man walked out of the van. He stared at the young man with his extremely cold eyes. Then, he strode toward the young man. The next moment, the bearded man suddenly pulled out a fruit knife and stabbed the young man fiercely. Fresh blood spurted out! The young man¡¯s face was filled with disbelief. After a while, he arrived in front of the man with messy hair. These words did not scare the bearded man. On the contrary, they seemed to have aroused the bearded man¡¯s hostility. He strode toward the young man again, picked up the fruit knife, and was about to continue stabbing the young man. The man with messy hair looked at the young man and then at the bearded man. Recalling the fact that he had cancer¡­ He thought to himself, ¡®Before I die, I should do some good deeds. Perhaps I can be reincarnated into a good family in my next life!¡¯ At the thought of this, the man with messy hair gritted his teeth and quickly took out his brick-like mobile phone, slamming it fiercely at the bearded man¡¯s head. Bang! It was accurate! Ruthless! The phone shattered. The bearded man¡¯s head was also bleeding. He felt his vision blur and fell to the ground. ¡°Boss! Boss!¡± The two men with buzz cuts shouted in shock. At this moment, the sound of a police car came from behind. Immediately after, the police car drove over. Seeing this¡­ The two men with buzz cuts did not care about the bearded man anymore. They fled in all directions. However, the two officers blocked their way. ¡­ In the Coiling Dragon Villa, Lin Fan was lying on a large, soft bed. When the birds outside let out a burst of happy cries, he slowly opened his eyes. Then, he picked up his phone out of habit. At this moment, as usual, a text message appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,893,200 yuan was deposited into your account.] ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,000,000 yuan.] Lin Fan pursed his lips and said, ¡°Another ten million¡­¡± This morning, all the students were very enthusiastic. There were still more than ten minutes before class started, but all the seats had been taken. It was because this was Teacher Tiantian¡¯s class. Luckily, Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Jinbao helped Lin Fan reserve a seat every day. That way, he could avoid the situation of coming all the way to school but not being able to find a seat. Every time Teacher Tiantian held a class, all the students would sigh at how time passed too quickly. However, time would never slow down or speed up because of personal wishes. The morning class ended very quickly. Lin Fan, Song Yi, and the others went to the cafeteria as usual. They queued up to buy the food they wanted to eat. Just as they sat down¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. 12:00 PM! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 111 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 9,999 yuan.] Lin Fan clicked on the red packet a few times and received a total of 43,291 yuan. He did not care about it at all and put his phone back into his pocket. After lunch, Lin Fan went back to his dorm and lay down on his bed. Although the bed in the dormitory was not as wide and soft as the one in the Coiling Dragon Villa, as he lay on it, he recalled the lessons, meals, and sleep he had with his classmates today¡­ It made Lin Fan feel content from the bottom of his heart, and a faint smile appeared on his face. At this moment, Song Yi, who was also lying on his bed, suddenly shouted, ¡°Bro, you did a good job!¡± Ma Zhong, who was reading quietly, popped his head out with a curious expression. Zheng Jinbao turned his head and asked, ¡°What happened?¡± Song Yi waved his hand and said, ¡°This happened just today. It¡¯s already on the news. I¡¯ll send it to the group for you to see.¡± Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated slightly. Soon, a news video played. ¡°This morning, a criminal committed a crime on the street. Fortunately, a warm-hearted citizen passed by and saved the victim¡­ Let¡¯s see what happened.¡± Then, a man with messy hair appeared on the screen. ¡°When the criminal took out a fruit knife to commit murder, weren¡¯t you afraid?¡± asked the reporter. ¡°I was scared,¡± the man with messy hair said. ¡°Then why did you bravely stand up and directly knock down the criminal? Could it be that you know the injured citizen?¡± the reporter said. The man shook his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know him.¡± ¡°Is it because of your sense of justice, then?¡± the reporter said. The man with messy hair pondered for a moment. After a while, he mustered up his courage and said, ¡°Actually, I¡¯m a cancer patient. I just want to do more good things before my life ends.¡± The reporter¡¯s expression changed drastically. He said in surprise, ¡°Originally, I thought you were just a warrior with a strong sense of justice. I didn¡¯t expect you to be a fighter who¡¯s fighting against illness! ¡°Please allow me to pay my highest respect to you!¡± After saying that, the reporter bowed deeply to the man. After seeing the news, Lin Fan was slightly stunned. He had a photographic memory, so he naturally remembered that the man with messy hair had fainted on the ground the day before yesterday, and he had treated him with Medical Water. After drinking the Medical Water, his cancer should have been cured, right? From the looks of it, he did not seem to know that. Chapter 334 - 334 Reward; Help! 334 Reward; Help! For the next two days, Lin Fan went to and from school like any other student. He was relaxed. Today, Lin Fan had just arrived at the classroom when Song Yi suddenly shouted excitedly, ¡°F*ck, this is awesome!¡± ¡°What happened?¡± Ma Zhong asked curiously. ¡°Didn¡¯t I post a video in the group two days ago? It¡¯s that cancer fighter who saw injustice on the road! He received a prize of 500,000!¡± Song Yi shouted. Ma Zhong¡¯s eyes widened as he shouted, ¡°500,000!¡± After saying that, he could not help but swallow his saliva. He seemed to have seen stacks of red bills. ¡°In my opinion, such a warrior should be rewarded!¡± Song Yi said. Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated slightly. It turned out that Song Yi had posted another news video. The host said, ¡°After our city¡¯s Lintian Company learned of the deeds of the cancer fighter, they were extremely touched. Therefore, they have decided to take responsibility for all his subsequent treatment costs. At the same time, they¡¯ll reward him with 500,000 yuan! ¡°Now, let¡¯s invite the cancer fighter to come on stage and give a speech¡­¡± Immediately after, the man with messy hair appeared on the screen. ¡°First of all, I¡¯m very grateful to Lintian Company for their help. I see that many people on the internet are treating me as a hero, but I want to say that I only did what I should do¡­¡± The man¡¯s words were very organized and touched many people. When he finished speaking, the venue immediately erupted into warm applause. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s face turned weird. Cancer fighter? Treatment fees? Reward? Could it be that this man with messy hair wanted to become famous? Initially, Lin Fan was wondering if he should let Xiao Bai tell the man that his cancer was cured. Now, it seemed that there was no need for this. ¡­ The day¡¯s classes came to an end after the bell rang. Lin Fan sat at the side and ate the delicacies. His face was filled with enjoyment. Yesterday, when Lin Fan drove past, he was attracted by the aroma here. After tasting the food, he could not stop praising it. Therefore, he rushed over after school today. Just as Lin Fan was about to leave after eating his fill, a familiar figure entered his sight. It was Wang Ru, the beauty Lin Fan met when he was robbed. Wang Ru also saw Lin Fan. At this time, the bald man sitting at the table next to Wang Ru finished eating and walked out. Wang Ru¡¯s eyes moved slightly. She walked to Lin Fan and said, ¡°Why are you here? Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time!¡± As she spoke, she pulled Lin Fan¡¯s arm and walked out. Lin Fan thought for a moment and knew that Wang Ru was handling a case again. Just as Lin Fan expected, when they arrived at the Mercedes-Benz, Wang Ru said, ¡°Quickly follow the Volkswagen in front. If possible, try not to be discovered.¡± Originally, Wang Ru planned to follow the man. However, Wang Ru had been following him for a long time. If she continued to follow him, she would be easily discovered by the other party. Secondly¡­ Wang Ru knew that Lin Fan had excellent driving skills. She asked Lin Fan for help so that she would not lose him easily. Lin Fan did not reject Wang Ru¡¯s request. This world was safe and stable because of these serious and responsible investigations. Moreover, Lin Fan had a good impression of Wang Ru. Boom! Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator and sped forward, following behind the Volkswagen steadily. When they drove past a fork in the road, Lin Fan suddenly turned the steering wheel. ¡°You seem to have gone the wrong way,¡± said Wang Ru. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll be fine after we pass the road in front.¡± Lin Fan smiled. Just as Lin Fan had said, after making out of that stretch of road, the Volkswagen appeared in front of them again. Similar things happened several times in a row. It was also because of these actions that the Volkswagen did not notice the Mercedes-Benz G-Class following behind it. Seeing this¡­ Wang Ru could not help but look at Lin Fan in shock. ¡°You actually remember all the routes in this area?¡± Wang Ru could not help but ask. Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s simple.¡± It was simple for Lin Fan. When he was bored, he would casually look at the electronic map and remember all the routes clearly. One had to know¡­ Even if it was a book with a few hundred pages, Lin Fan could easily recite it backward. What more a map the size of a page? After all, Lin Fan was someone with a photographic memory and scanning abilities. However, Wang Ru did not feel good hearing this. As an investigator, she knew very well that it was very important to be familiar with the streets of the city. This was because it could be of great help in arresting criminals. For this reason, Wang Ru spent a lot of time memorizing the streets. However¡­ However, the effect was not ideal. Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°Why do I feel like every time I see you, you¡¯re chasing after someone? Are you so busy investigating?¡± ¡°Ever since you were robbed with a knife that day, we¡¯ve become busier,¡± Wang Ru said. Lin Fan was stunned. Then, he suddenly remembered that Deng Jihu, the captain of the Jiangbei City Investigation Team, had said that he would crack down on crime. Was it still going on? ¡°I¡¯ll go back and talk to Captain Deng Jihu.¡± Wang Ru waved her hand and said, ¡°Don¡¯t! I think that this is quite good. I can continuously bring those hidden bad guys to justice. ¡°Just like today,¡± she said after a pause. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the strict enforcement during this period of time, I¡¯m afraid it would¡¯ve been very difficult for us to know that there¡¯s actually a gang of organ smugglers in Jiangbei.¡± ¡°Is it that Volkswagen car in front?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Yes,¡± said Wang Ru. ¡°I don¡¯t know how many people they¡¯ve harmed. I hope that I can find their nest today!¡± As she said this, she could not help but clench her fists. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class followed behind, driving through a bumpy path and a rugged mountain road¡­ Finally, a dilapidated factory appeared in front of them. The Volkswagen was parked there. After the bald man got out of the car, he looked around before entering the factory. Wang Ru pondered for a moment and said, ¡°You wait here for a while. I want to go in and see if this is the base camp of those forces.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± ¡°No! It¡¯s very dangerous inside!¡± Wang Ru directly denied it. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll be in danger? Besides, do you know how many people are inside? I might be able to help if I go in.¡± ¡°Help!¡± At this moment, a shrill cry suddenly sounded from inside. Wang Ru could not care less and quickly said, ¡°You have to be careful later. If you encounter danger, don¡¯t hesitate and leave quickly!¡± ¡°Alright,¡± said Lin Fan. Chapter 335 - 335 The Energy Shield is Activated! 335 The Energy Shield is Activated! Wang Ru took out her cell phone and quickly sent two messages to her colleagues. Then she walked toward the old factory. The scream just now made her realize that someone inside was in danger. However, Wang Ru did not rush inside. She had always been very careful and cautious. It was because she understood one thing. Saving people was important, but if she were to rush in without knowing the enemy¡­ Not only could she not save people, but she would also be bringing harm to the other party. At the same time, she would be harming herself. After Wang Ru and Lin Fan walked into the dilapidated factory, they slowly walked forward with the help of the weak light. At this moment, a stern shout sounded from afar. ¡°Stop screaming! ¡°Let me tell you, this is an abandoned factory, and the surroundings are all wasteland! Even if you scream until your throat breaks, no one can save you! ¡°Damn it! You want to run after taking my money? No one has ever dared to be so bold! ¡°You¡¯re the first! You sure have guts!¡± Following that, there was a round of applause. Then, there was pleading. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry¡­ I beg you, don¡¯t hit me anymore¡­ ¡°I beg you, please spare me¡­¡± ¡­ When Lin Fan heard this voice, he did not know why, but he felt that it was somewhat familiar. The next moment, a group of fiendish figures and a person who was tied up appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s and Wang Ru¡¯s sight. Looking at the person who had been tied up, Lin Fan¡¯s face revealed a strange expression. This person was actually the cancer fighter whom he had met. Did he not receive a 500,000-yuan prize? How did he get caught by a force suspected of organ smuggling? ¡°Return it to me?¡± Brother Zhang raised his eyebrows and said. ¡°Yes, I don¡¯t want to give up my cornea anymore¡­ I¡­ I was misdiagnosed. I don¡¯t have cancer, so I don¡¯t want to give up my cornea anymore¡­¡± the man with messy hair said. ¡°You don¡¯t want to? You¡¯re not doing it anymore just because you don¡¯t want to? Do you think I¡¯m a monkey? Do you think you can play with me so casually?¡± Brother Zhang shouted. Then, he raised his hand again and slapped the man¡¯s face. Another loud slap echoed in the dilapidated factory. Hearing this, Lin Fan finally understood what had happened. The man with messy hair found out that he had cancer, so he went to look for this organization to exchange his organs for some money. In the end, he fainted because of his illness and drank the Medical Water Lin Fan gave him, which cured his cancer. Hence, he did not want to give up his cornea anymore. This¡­ What a coincidence. Was he lucky or unlucky? Brother Zhang asked coldly, ¡°You don¡¯t have cancer? That¡¯s great. I¡¯ll take all your organs out!¡± Beside him, a group of fiendish men put on their gloves and picked up their cold scalpels. They slowly walked toward the man with messy hair. The man with messy hair was so scared that his face turned pale. He shouted, ¡°No, no, no. Don¡¯t¡­ I¡¯ll give you money. I have 500,000 yuan. I¡¯ll give it all to you¡­ I still have a house. I¡¯ll give it to you too. I¡¯ll give it all to you¡­¡± ¡°500,000?¡± Brother Zhang sneered. ¡°A house? Who do you think I am? I¡¯m here for organs, not robbery or extortion!¡± He was quite professional. The group of fiendish men continued to gather around the man with messy hair. Seeing this¡­ Wang Ru was anxious. She did not want an innocent person to die in front of her. She was so anxious that she accidentally stepped on the can beside her. Brother Zhang¡¯s expression turned cold. He suddenly turned around and shouted, ¡°Who is it?¡± The fierce men also looked in Wang Ru¡¯s direction. Brother Zhang raised his hand and gestured for the round-faced man beside him to go over and take a look. The round-faced man nodded and carefully walked forward with a scalpel in his hand. Wang Ru knew that she could not hide anymore. Hence, she whispered to Lin Fan, ¡°You go out first!¡± Then, Wang Ru took the opportunity to attack. Bang! She kicked the knife in the round-faced man¡¯s hand away, then subdued him on the ground and handcuffed his hands. Then, she shouted, ¡°Police! Don¡¯t move!¡± The expressions of Brother Zhang and the other fiendish men changed slightly. However, they were not afraid, nor did they listen to orders. Two men ran to the window and looked outside with binoculars. ¡°Big Brother Zhang, there¡¯s only one car outside.¡± Brother Zhang said coldly, ¡°We can just catch her! That way, we¡¯ll have another complete set of organs!¡± ¡°Yes, Boss!¡± The men rushed toward Wang Ru with knives in their hands. Stab! Stab! Stab! They all attacked Wang Ru. While Wang Ru was dodging, she also punched and kicked from time to time, knocking down one man after another. Wang Ru¡¯s personal combat strength was indeed good. However, it was difficult for her to fight against two people. Moreover, the two men were each holding a sharp knife. Gradually, Wang Ru began to show signs of decline. A man seized the opportunity and stabbed at Wang Ru. At this moment, a black shadow jumped out and kicked the man away. It was Lin Fan! With Lin Fan joining in, the situation started to change. Soon, one man after another fell to the ground. In the distance, Brother Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that he could not delay any longer. He had to finish them off quickly! Brother Zhang quietly took out a black pistol from the drawer behind him and pulled the trigger at Wang Ru, who had no cover. Bang! A bullet shot out. Lin Fan reacted quickly and pushed Wang Ru to the ground. In TV shows, this kind of situation should mean that the protagonist had already dodged the bullet. In reality? How could a person¡¯s speed be faster than a bullet? Even if Lin Fan had the ability to take on a hundred people at once, it would not do! Just as Lin Fan arrived in front of Wang Ru, the bullet was already fired. At this moment, an invisible shield appeared around Lin Fan, blocking the bullet. It was the energy shield that Lin Fan had obtained before. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Then, he stood up and attacked continuously. In the shortest time possible, he knocked all the men in front of him to the ground. Then, like a cheetah, he rushed toward Brother Zhang. Brother Zhang¡¯s expression changed drastically. He picked up his pistol again and kept pulling the trigger. Lin Fan dodged left and right. A portion of the bullets were successfully dodged. A portion of the bullets were successfully blocked by the energy shield. Soon, Lin Fan arrived in front of Brother Zhang and kicked him. Bang! He did not hold back at all. The kick directly sent Brother Zhang flying two meters away. His teeth were mixed with blood, and they kept pouring out of his mouth. He never got up again. Chapter 336 - 336 I Have A Boyfriend! 336 I Have A Boyfriend! At this point, everyone in the organ organization had lost their ability to fight. The entire abandoned factory became extremely quiet. Lin Fan turned to Wang Ru and said, ¡°Are you okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­ What about you? Are you hurt?¡± Wang Ru was extremely worried. She had seen it very clearly. Brother Zhang had fired several shots at Lin Fan. Reality¡­ was not like TV shows. Bullets were definitely not that easy to dodge. If one was the slightest bit careless, it could be extremely dangerous. Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯m not injured.¡± However, Wang Ru did not just listen to what Lin Fan said. She looked at Lin Fan from head to toe. When she saw that he really was not injured, she heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, the sound of a police car came from outside. ¡°Your colleagues seem to be here,¡± Lin Fan said. Wang Ru nodded. As they spoke, the two of them walked out. The man with messy hair who had been beaten up like a pig could not help but say, ¡°O-Officer, can you untie the ropes around me first?¡± When Lin Fan heard this, he casually threw the scalpel that he had snatched from the fight earlier. A cold light flashed past, and the ropes on the man¡¯s body snapped. [Skill: 100% Hidden Weapon!] ¡°Hiss!¡± Previously, when Brother Zhang kept beating up the man with messy hair, he did not pee his pants. At this moment¡­ His legs went soft, and there was a warm patch on his pants. He¡­ He peed. Lin Fan¡¯s move was just too sudden and terrifying. ¡­ As soon as Lin Fan and Wang Ru walked out of the dilapidated factory, a large group of police officers ran over. One of them asked, ¡°Wang Ru, what¡¯s the situation?¡± ¡°The people from the organ organization have all been subdued. In addition, there¡¯s also a victim,¡± Wang Ru said. All subdued? The officers were stunned. They thought to themselves, ¡®Perhaps there are very few of them?¡¯ The officers nodded and ran inside quickly. Not long after, the officers brought out a large group of injured men and slowly walked over. How did they capture so many criminals? The officers were filled with doubts. However, they also understood that now was not the time to ask these questions, so they took all these men into the police car. Wang Ru looked at the fully occupied police car and asked, ¡°Lin Fan, can you send me to the station?¡± ¡°No problem,¡± Lin Fan said. Boom! After returning to the Mercedes-Benz, Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator and continued to drive along the road they came from. When they arrived, the atmosphere in the car was extremely tense. At this moment, it was very relaxed. Wang Ru looked at the dim lights on both sides of the road and the rustling green plants. It was quiet and peaceful. Not long after, a stately building appeared in front of them. It was the police station ! Lin Fan said, ¡°I won¡¯t go in to make a statement. See you next time!¡± If someone else had made such a request, Wang Ru would definitely refuse! However, Lin Fan was different. He had the power to do so. ¡°Alright, see you next time!¡± Wang Ru said. Then, Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator again and returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa. He first sat on the soft sofa and drank a mouthful of fragrant Spirit Tea while playing with his phone. He was extremely relaxed and satisfied. After washing up, he lay down on the spacious bed and enjoyed himself. ¡­ While Lin Fan was enjoying himself, Wang Ru finished giving her statement and returned home. She stood on the balcony and looked at the night scene in the distance. She allowed the breeze to caress her face. She could not help but recall the serious expression on Lin Fan¡¯s face when he was driving, the brave figure of Lin Fan when he knocked down the criminals, and the scene of Lin Fan pushing her to the ground to protect her. At this moment, Wang Ru thought of something, and her face suddenly turned red. ¡­ Today, Chen Xin welcomed a rare rest day. When she came to the living room with sleepy eyes, her mother, Li Rong, happened to bring out noodles and steamed dumplings. His father, Chen Dayong, was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine. The family sat together, eating breakfast and chatting about their daily lives. It was very warm. At this moment, her mother, Li Rong, suddenly sighed and said, ¡°In the blink of an eye, our Xin Xin has already started working and become an adult. After a while, she might get married.¡± ¡°Mom¡­¡± Chen Xin said in embarrassment. Li Rong continued, ¡°Don¡¯t be shy. You¡¯re also at the age of dating now.¡± Chen Dayong said, ¡°When you¡¯re in a relationship, you have to open your eyes wide¡­ By the way, the son of the chairman of Dadi Company, which has a good relationship with our company, is quite good. Do you want me to get his contact information?¡± When Chen Xin heard this, she finally understood why her parents were suddenly talking about love and marriage. Were they going to introduce her to a partner? ¡°Dad, Mom, actually, I already have a boyfriend.¡± As she said this, she could not help but recall eating hotpot with Lin Fan, listening to Lin Fan sing, shopping with him, hugging him, and¡­ Thinking of this scene, Chen Xin¡¯s pretty face could not help but reveal a sweet smile. ¡°What? You have a boyfriend?¡± Li Rong was stunned for a moment. Chen Dayong was also stunned. Obviously, he did not expect his daughter to have a boyfriend. After a while, Li Rong asked, ¡°Who is it? Is it a doctor from your hospital?¡± ¡°He¡­¡± Chen Xin said. ¡°He¡¯s my high school classmate. You¡¯ve met him before.¡± ¡°Have we met before?¡± Li Rong and Chen Dayong looked at each other. Li Rong said, ¡°Could it be¡­ Xiong Peng? He seems not bad¡­¡± Chen Xin said, ¡°No, he¡¯s a high school classmate from Jiang Province. His name is Lin Fan. He was my deskmate in Year One.¡± ¡°Lin Fan?¡± Chen Dayong pondered for a while and said, ¡°I seem to remember him a little. He¡¯s tall, and his grades seemed to be quite good.¡± When Chen Xin heard her father praise Lin Fan, she was even happier than when she heard him praise her. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s him,¡± said Tiantian. ¡°When did you and Lin Fan get together?¡± Li Rong asked. ¡°Not long ago,¡± Chen Xin said shyly. Li Rong said, ¡°Child, why didn¡¯t you tell me that you were in a relationship? Oh right, is Lin Fan working in Jiangbei now?¡± ¡°He¡¯s studying at Jiangbei University,¡± Chen Xin said honestly. ¡°Not bad! Jiangbei University is a top university!¡± Chen Dayong nodded his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m meeting the president of the Jiangbei branch of Tiantian Bank for a meal today. Xin Xin, why don¡¯t you call Lin Fan out for a meal so that I can meet him?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Chen Xin hesitated. ¡°You want to eat together?¡± ¡°What, you don¡¯t want us to see him?¡± Chen Dayong laughed. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯ll ask him if he has any classes first,¡± Chen Xin said. Chapter 337 - 337 Invitation; Lottery Draw! 337 Invitation; Lottery Draw! After Chen Xin finished speaking, she took her phone and went to her room. After the door closed, Li Rong said softly, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that our Huanhai Company¡¯s funds are in trouble? If Dadi doesn¡¯t help¡­ Will we be swallowed up by Swift Company?¡± When this matter was brought up, Chen Dayong¡¯s indifferent expression from before disappeared without a trace. What replaced it was a worried look. ¡°But no matter what difficulties the company is facing, we can¡¯t let Xin Xin suffer.¡± Then, Chen Dayong smiled and said, ¡°Besides, aren¡¯t I meeting the president of the Jiangbei branch of Tiantian Bank today? As long as the negotiations are settled, the problem of our company¡¯s funds will be no more.¡± Li Rong said, ¡°It¡¯s such an important banquet. Won¡¯t it be inappropriate to invite Lin Fan over?¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s quite good. I can discuss business and also inspect my future son-in-law. It¡¯s killing two birds with one stone!¡± Chen Dayong laughed. ¡­ Coiling Dragon Villa. Lin Fan had just finished his breakfast when the phone in his pocket vibrated. Chen Xin: [Lin Fan, are you free today? My parents want to invite you to dinner.] When Lin Fan saw this message, he was stunned for a moment. Was this another meeting with parents? Another? That was right! That was because Lin Fan had already met Qiu Ziqian¡¯s parents, Huang Ling¡¯s parents, and Hu Tian¡¯s parents¡­ It could be said that Lin Fan was quite experienced when it came to meeting parents. After a while, Lin Fan raised his fingers and started to type on the screen. Lin Fan: [Of course, I have time! I¡¯ll be there in a bit.] After chatting for a while¡­ At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was the president of Tiantian Bank, Huang Jiayi. Lin Fan said, ¡°Hello, what¡¯s up?¡± ¡°I¡¯m having a meeting in Jiangbei,¡± Huang Jiayi said. ¡°Would you like to come over?¡± ¡°Meeting? I have no interest in such things¡­¡± Lin Fan said straightforwardly. ¡°Yes, yes¡­¡± Huang Jiayi was worried that he would make Lin Fan unhappy, so he did not dare to say anything more about the topic. Then, the two of them chatted for a while more before hanging up. ¡­ In the president¡¯s office of the Jiangbei branch of Tiantian Bank. ¡°President Yuan, our Swift Company has spent a lot of effort to force Huanhai Company to where they are today,¡± the bald man said. ¡°You can¡¯t let my efforts go to waste.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. With our relationship, how can we let this happen?¡± President Yuan said. ¡°I¡¯ll make sure Chen Dayong comes to the banquet today happy but leaves disappointed.¡± ¡°Hahaha!¡± The bald man laughed heartily. ¡°That¡¯s great. By the way, I brought a batch of good tea leaves a while ago. You have to taste them later!¡± As he spoke, he took out a large metal box from his bag. ¡°Hahaha!¡± President Yuan laughed heartily. ¡°Then I won¡¯t stand on ceremony!¡± ¡­ As a landmark building in Jiangbei, the Imperial Hotel was as usual. Men and women in gorgeous clothes and suits were coming in and out. Business was very good. Chen Dayong came to the front desk and asked anxiously, ¡°There are no more private rooms?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± the attendant replied. Chen Dayong¡¯s expression turned ugly when he heard that. One had to know¡­ Today, he had invited the branch president of Tiantian Bank. How could he entertain him in the main hall? If the other party got angry because of this, what should he do about the problem of Huanhai Company¡¯s funds? Should he tell President Yuan to change places? The other party would probably not be happy to hear that! Just as Chen Dayong was at his wit¡¯s end, Chen Xin said happily, ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re here!¡± Then, she held Lin Fan¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Dad, Mom, this is Lin Fan.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Hello, Uncle and Aunt.¡± Li Rong secretly sized up Lin Fan. She looked at Lin Fan¡¯s tall figure and well-defined facial features. She said in satisfaction, ¡°Lin Fan, long time no see.¡± Chen Dayong was a little upset because there were no more private rooms. Hence, he merely nodded his head at Lin Fan. Then, he said to the attendant, ¡°Are you sure there¡¯s not a single private room left?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± the attendant replied. ¡°How long will it take if we wait?¡± Chen Dayong asked. ¡°We don¡¯t know the exact time because we have to let the guests leave first. Our hotel doesn¡¯t limit the time the guests can spend in the private rooms,¡± the waiter replied. In order to earn more money, some hotels might limit the dining time of their guests. This way, they could get more new customers to come in and spend money. However, as a landmark building in Jiangbei, the Imperial Hotel naturally did not impose such a rule. That was because it would greatly reduce the customer¡¯s experience. Lin Fan listened to their conversation and immediately understood that Uncle Chen wanted to book a private room. At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded not far away. The surrounding waiters greeted the man respectfully. ¡°Hello, General Manager.¡± The person who came was the general manager of the Imperial Hotel, Wang Fengyi. Wang Fengyi was not someone who liked to put on airs. In the past, he would return the greeting one by one. However, at this moment, he did not stop and quickened his pace toward the front desk. It was because Wang Fengyi had seen Lin Fan! Lin Fan also noticed Wang Fengyi. He rolled shifted his eyes and said, ¡°I heard that guests can win a chance to use the VIP room for free at the Imperial Hotel. Is that true?¡± Wang Fengyi was about to greet Lin Fan, but after hearing his words, he glanced at Chen Xin and the others. After thinking about it, he had some guesses. He cleared his throat and said, ¡°Of course, our Imperial Hotel¡¯s lucky draw is real. May I ask if you want to participate?¡± As Wang Fengyi spoke, he took out his phone and opened a QR code. Lin Fan took out his phone and scanned the QR code. Beep! With a soft sound, the QR code was successfully scanned. ¡°Go and get the lucky draw box from our hotel,¡± Wang Fengyi said to the front desk staff. ¡°Huh?¡± The receptionist was a little confused. She had no idea when the Imperial Hotel had a lucky draw to use the VIP room, let alone where the lucky draw box was. ¡°It¡¯s the lottery box that you used last night.¡± Wang Fengyi frowned. ¡°Ah¡­ Alright¡­ Alright.¡± The receptionist was completely dumbfounded. She naturally knew about the lucky draw box that she had used yesterday. However¡­ was that not the employees¡¯ lucky draw? Although the receptionist was full of doubts, she still walked toward the staff breakroom. Chapter 338 - 338 Winning the Prize; Unable to Get a Loan! 338 Winning the Prize; Unable to Get a Loan! While chatting and waiting¡­ The receptionist carried a lucky draw box and walked over nervously. She did not know if this was the lucky draw box that the general manager was referring to. At this moment, Wang Fengyi waved his hand and said, ¡°Finally!¡± When the receptionist heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had not taken the wrong one. Wang Fengyi first put his hand into the lottery box and stirred it. Then, he said to Lin Fan, ¡°Please draw.¡± Lin Fan nodded and took out a lottery ticket. Wang Fengyi slowly opened the lottery ticket and looked at Lin Fan in disbelief. ¡°Grand prize! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a 100,000 yuan voucher. You can also use our VIP room for free. ¡°Excuse me, do you wish to use it now?¡± Lin Fan did not reply and turned to look at Chen Dayong. Chen Dayong felt a little dizzy from suddenly winning the big prize. After a while, he said, ¡°Ah¡­ We¡¯ll use it now.¡± Thus, under Wang Fengyi¡¯s personal lead, the group arrived at the VIP room on the 66th floor. Soft wool carpet, diamond-shaped lights, mahogany furniture¡­ Everything reflected the luxury of the private room. Chen Xin smiled and said, ¡°Last time, I had a free meal with Lin Fan at Rolling Restaurant. Today, I can have another free meal¡­ I want to steal some of this good fortune too.¡± As Chen Xin spoke, she moved closer to Lin Fan and took a few deep breaths. Lin Fan wanted to laugh. Chen Dayong opened his mouth and was about to say something when the phone in his pocket rang. He looked at the caller ID and said with a serious expression. ¡°Hello, President Yuan. ¡°You¡¯re here? ¡°Okay, okay. I¡¯ll come and pick you up now.¡± After hanging up the phone, Chen Dayong quickly walked out. After President Yuan looked at the decoration in the private room, he could not help but raise his eyes and say, ¡°The VIP room! Not bad!¡± Obviously, he had seen a little of the world. ¡°Of course, I have to treat you to a meal at the best place¡­¡± Chen Dayong said. President Yuan nodded in satisfaction. Then, the two of them began to chat. However, from the beginning to the end, President Yuan maintained a high and mighty attitude. At this moment, delicately designed and fragrant dishes were slowly served by the waiter. Chen Dayong opened a bottle of Flying Maotai and poured the clear liquor into a glass. Then, he stood up and raised his glass. ¡°President Yuan, thank you very much for gracing me with your presence today. I¡¯ll toast you with this glass of liquor.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he drank the liquor in his glass in one gulp. President Yuan raised his hand and said, ¡°Sit down, sit down. What¡¯s the point of standing and drinking?¡± ¡°Yes, yes¡­ President Yuan is right,¡± Chen Dayong said awkwardly and slowly sat down. Then, the two of them started chatting again. About 20 minutes later, Chen Dayong saw that it was about time and finally said, ¡°President Yuan, regarding the loan of our Huanhai Company, I wonder what¡¯s the current status of our application? When will I be able to get the money?¡± As soon as he said this, the originally lively atmosphere immediately became much colder. President Yuan first put the top-grade Wagyu beef into his mouth and drank a mouthful of Flying Maotai. Then, he said with a stern expression, ¡°Is this why you invited me to the VIP room of the Imperial Hotel? Hmph! ¡°It would¡¯ve been fine if you hadn¡¯t mentioned it. But since you did mention it, then so be it! Let me tell you clearly. With the things you¡¯ve provided, are you still thinking of borrowing 50 million? You shouldn¡¯t even think about borrowing 50 cents!¡± After saying that, President Yuan slammed a stack of documents on the table. When Chen Dayong saw this, his expression changed drastically. No loan at all? How was this possible? Obviously, this was something he had not expected. ¡°President Yuan, didn¡¯t you say that the loan would be approved soon?¡± Chen Dayong asked anxiously. ¡°Why can¡¯t I get a loan now?¡± In fact, this was also one of the reasons why Chen Dayong had asked Lin Fan to come along today. It was so that he could broaden his horizons. In Chen Dayong¡¯s opinion, today¡¯s banquet would only be about how big of a loan they could get. He did not expect that they would not be able to get a loan. First, they did not have any problems with the procedure. Secondly, President Yuan made many promises. ¡°That¡¯s because I was deceived by you!¡± President Yuan said coldly. ¡°If you think you can get a loan, then take the documents and go to another bank!¡± After saying that, he got up and prepared to walk out. Find another bank to take out a loan? Although there was indeed no problem with the documents, the loan this time was for 50 million yuan, not 50,000 yuan! Capital verification, going through the process, getting the money¡­ All of this would take a long time. Huanhai Company did not have the time to wait. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. However, no one walked in immediately. Wang Fengyi, who was holding a plate of delicious food, was stopped by the chairman of Tiantian Bank, Huang Jiayi, who was behind him. He patted Wang Fengyi¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Manager Wang, haha! You¡¯re here! How about we have a few drinks in my private room?¡± The two of them were familiar with each other, so they talked very casually. Wang Fengyi said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m not free now. Next time, next time. I¡¯ll arrange it. Let¡¯s have a few drinks together!¡± After all, Boss Lin Fan was here today. Wine could be drunk at any time. However, it was not every day that he had the chance to serve his boss. Huang Jiayi was a very smart person. He immediately began to guess. Who was in this room? Even Wang Fengyi had to personally entertain them. Huang Jiayi was curious. He wanted to look inside through the gap in the door. At this moment, the door of the private room opened. President Yuan walked out with a face full of arrogance. However, in the next moment, he was stunned. It was because the chairman of Tiantian Bank, Huang Jiayi, had appeared at the door. The arrogance on President Yuan¡¯s face instantly disappeared without a trace. It was replaced by a humble and fawning expression. ¡°Hello, Chairman Huang!¡± Huang Jiayi still had some impression of President Yuan. He was just the president of a small branch in Jiangbei City. Why would he appear in the VIP room that Wang Fengyi had to personally entertain? Huang Jiayi was slightly confused and was about to nod to greet him¡­ In the next moment, his pupils constricted. Lin Fan! He saw Lin Fan in the room! In fact, Huang Jiayi had come to Jiangbei because of a meeting that Tiantian Bank was participating in. The most important reason was that he wanted to meet Lin Fan and get closer to him. However, when he was on the phone with Lin Fan this morning, Huang Jiayi seemed to hear that Lin Fan was a little impatient. Therefore, he did not dare to say anything. Unexpectedly¡­ he bumped into Lin Fan in the hotel. Therefore, Huang Jiayi ignored President Yuan. He bowed and said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Chapter 339 - 339 A Mistake in Review; Begging For Mercy! 339 A Mistake in Review; Begging For Mercy! As Huang Jiayi¡¯s voice rang out, everyone present had different thoughts. President Yuan was full of doubts, Mr. Lin? What Mr. Lin? Chairman Huang actually had to be so respectful? However, there did not seem to be anyone with the surname Lin here. Wang Fengyi revealed a thoughtful look. Chen Xin and Li Rong looked at Lin Fan in confusion. Someone surnamed Lin? Was Chairman Huang greeting Lin Fan? Chen Dayong did not pay much attention to it. He quickly ran to President Yuan and said, ¡°President Yuan, there¡¯s nothing wrong with our documents. Please take a closer look and approve the loan for us.¡± If it were in the past, Chen Dayong would definitely notice that President Yuan was treating Huang Jiayi respectfully, and Huang Jiayi was greeting Mr. Lin respectfully¡­ However, at this moment, he only wanted to get the loan and had no other concerns. If he could not get the loan¡­ Then, the company that he had worked so hard for would completely disappear. Lin Fan rubbed his nose and took a few steps forward, ¡°Leave it to me, Mr. Chen.¡± As he spoke, he took the documents from Chen Dayong¡¯s hands. Then, he said to Huang Jiayi, ¡°Mr. Huang, these are the loan documents for my girlfriend¡¯s father. He wants to borrow 50 million yuan. See if there¡¯s any problem. ¡°Sit down and take your time.¡± Huang Jiayi did not dare to hesitate. He quickly took the materials and carefully flipped through them. Lin Fan was a major shareholder of Tiantian Bank. Even if he wanted to borrow 500 million, 50 billion, 50 billion¡­ There was absolutely no problem. However, since Lin Fan had asked him to look, Huang Jiayi chose to go through the documents obediently. He looked through them very carefully as he was worried that Lin Fan would raise some questions. There was only the soft sound of pages flipping in the entire room. The sound of the pages flipping seemed to bring a breeze, gradually bringing a cool breeze to the extremely anxious Chen Dayong. The sound of the pages turning made President Yuan extremely hot and sweaty. Half an hour later, Huang Jiayi finally stopped flipping through the documents. Lin Fan asked, ¡°How is it? Can the loan be approved?¡± Huang Jiayi replied, ¡°There¡¯s no problem at all! In fact, with these things as collateral, he should be able to borrow nearly 60 million yuan.¡± After dragging things out with Lin Fan¡¯s girlfriend¡¯s father for so long, he even said that he could not even borrow 50 cents? This was simply¡­ He was a bastard! ¡°Yuan Jian, explain this to me!¡± Huang Jiayi¡¯s face sank as he shouted. A thin layer of sweat instantly appeared on Yuan Jian¡¯s forehead. He stuttered, ¡°This¡­ This¡­ Maybe the examiner made a mistake.¡± ¡°Oh? Then tell me, which examiner did it?!¡± Huang Jiayi said coldly. ¡°Yes¡­ It was¡­ Yu Zhenbo,¡± Yuan Jian said. ¡°Alright!¡± Huang Jiayi took out his phone and made a call. ¡°This is Huang Jiayi. Please transfer my call to Yu Zhenbo, the examiner of the Jiangbei Datong Street branch. ¡°Yu Zhenbo, let me ask you, did you review the loan documents for case AAL88? It¡¯s regarding Huanhai Company. ¡°You didn¡¯t? Okay, I understand.¡± ¡°Yuan Jian, is this what you meant by saying that Yu Zhenbo was the examiner?¡± Huang Jiayi shouted! The sweat on Yuan Jian¡¯s forehead became denser, and his entire body began to tremble. In fact, ever since he received the loan documents from Huanhai Company, he had locked them in a drawer and only took them out today. The examiner did not even know that there was such a thing, so how could the documents have been reviewed? How could Yuan Jian have thought that Huang Jiayi would personally ask about it one day? ¡°I¡­ I¡­¡± He thought for a long time, but he did not say anything. ¡°Say no more!¡± Huang Jiayi shouted. ¡°Yuan Jian, from now on, you¡¯re no longer the branch manager of our Tiantian Bank! In addition, I¡¯ll get someone to thoroughly investigate all your accounts over the years. If there are any problems, I¡¯ll directly hand them over for investigation!¡± Plop! In an instant, Yuan Jian seemed to have been drained of all his strength. His entire body fell to the ground weakly, and he was unable to stand upright. One had to know¡­ He had spent half his life working hard to become the president of the Jiangbei branch of Tiantian Bank. In the end, it was gone now? Moreover, they would thoroughly investigate all his accounts. Over the years, he had taken many benefits from others in private¡­ If all these were found out, the consequences¡­ Thinking of this, Yuan Jian¡¯s entire face turned pale. He lay on the ground and begged, ¡°M-Mr. Huang, don¡¯t. I beg you, don¡¯t remove my position as the president¡­¡± However, Huang Jiayi was completely indifferent to this and did not pay any attention to it. Then, Yuan Jian seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and said to Lin Fan, ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s my fault. I was blinded by greed¡­ Please, let me go¡­Please¡­¡± Would begging solve the issue? How was this possible? Lin Fan frowned and said, ¡°Mr. Wang, it seems a little noisy here.¡± ¡°Yes, yes¡­¡± Wang Fengyi hurriedly said. ¡°I¡¯ll get rid of him now.¡± Soon, two security guards rushed over and carried Yuan Jian out without a word. The entire private room returned to silence. ¡°Mr. Huang, when will Uncle Chen get the loan for Huanhai Company?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°It¡¯ll definitely be approved before I get off work today!¡± Huang Jiayi promised. ¡°If Mr. Chen is in a hurry, I¡¯ll go to the bank now. I¡¯ll definitely get the money in an hour.¡± Chen Dayong¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°There¡¯s no need to trouble yourself,¡± he said. ¡°It just needs to arrive before work ends today.¡± ¡°Right, is 50 million yuan enough?¡± Huang Jiayi asked again. ¡°If you need more, I can lend more to you.¡± The bank had always given less money to companies when they sought loans from the bank. When had the bank ever asked if the loan amount was enough? This man even wanted to lend some out privately? ¡°It¡¯s enough. 50 million is enough.¡± Then, Huang Jiayi chatted for a while more before saying respectfully, ¡°Then I won¡¯t disturb you anymore¡­¡± ¡°Mr. Lin and distinguished guests, please enjoy your meal and drinks.¡± Then, Huang Jiayi walked out. Instantly, Chen Dayong, Chen Xin, and Li Rong turned their gazes to Lin Fan. Lin Fan could see a lot of questions on their faces, so he took the initiative to say, ¡°Huang Jiayi is the chairman of Tiantian Bank.¡± ¡°The chairman of Tiantian Bank!¡± Chen Dayong swallowed hard. In fact, when he saw Yuan Jian bowing down to Huang Jiayi, he had some guesses. However, after getting Lin Fan¡¯s confirmation, he still could not help but be shocked. Chapter 340 - 340 Constitution Enhancement; Biology Department Asks For Help! 340 Constitution Enhancement; Biology Department Asks For Help! The chairman of Tiantian Bank was so respectful to Lin Fan¡­ Who was Lin Fan? ¡°Then¡­¡± Chen Dayong could not help but say. Obviously, Lin Fan had already seen through Chen Dayong¡¯s confusion. He said, ¡°I¡¯m the biggest shareholder of Tiantian Bank.¡± Silence! The entire private room was silent! Tiantian Bank was the largest private bank in Hua Nation with a market value of more than hundreds of billions. Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder in the bank. How much was he worth? Billions? Tens of billions? Hundreds of billions? If Lin Fan had said from the start that he was the biggest shareholder of Tiantian Bank¡­ Then, not only would Chen Dayong and the others not believe him, but they would even think that he was a person who liked to brag. However, everything that had just happened proved that this was the truth! After a while, Chen Xin said, ¡°No wonder. I always felt that the general manager of the Imperial Hotel seemed to take good care of us. He should know that you¡¯re the biggest shareholder of Tiantian Bank, right?¡± Lin Fan coughed lightly and said, ¡°Actually, I¡¯m the owner of the Imperial Hotel.¡± Silence. The entire private room fell silent again. ¡­ The weather today was a little gloomy. After a long while, Lin Fan finally opened his eyes. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 76,870,920 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, Lin Fan turned his attention to the sign-in system. ¡°Let¡¯s see what I can get today. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a Constitution Enhancement Potion.] Lin Fan¡¯s expression changed slightly and he focused his attention on the potion. [Constitution Enhancement Potion: A magical potion that can double the strength, speed, toughness, immunity, and other physical attributes of the human body after using it. Having a strong body could increase one¡¯s charm.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up immediately. Many people exercised to increase their strength or to increase their immunity¡­ Now, as long as he drank a bottle of potion, he could easily do what others could only do after working hard for a few years or even decades! This was definitely a very good thing! When Lin Fan raised his head, there was a bottle of transparent liquid the size of a pinky on the bedside table. This¡­ It was the Constitution Enhancement Potion that he had just obtained. Lin Fan quickly got out of bed and washed up. Then, he poured the potion into his mouth. Gulp! As the potion entered his stomach, it was like a warm current flowing through his heart. Then, Lin Fan felt his entire body filled with energy. He glanced at the mahogany table beside him and raised his hand. Whoosh! The mahogany table was picked up. One had to know¡­ This mahogany table was made of solid wood. It would probably take two adults to lift it. At this moment, it was like a piece of paper in Lin Fan¡¯s hands. It was extremely easy. In fact, this was quite normal. When Lin Fan obtained Violent Aesthetics, his body had already changed. His strength was far beyond what normal people could compare to. Now that he had taken the Constitution Enhancement Potion, his strength had doubled. Naturally, it was extraordinary. ¡­ Jiangbei University, the teachers¡¯ office. Hu Tian sat at her desk and carefully flipped through the academic materials. At this moment, there was a light knock on the door. ¡°Please come in,¡± Hu Tian said. Then, a round-faced woman wearing black-rimmed glasses slowly walked in. ¡°Professor Zheng?¡± Hu Tian said in a slightly surprised voice. No wonder she was like this. Professor Zheng was a professor in the biology department. In the past, the two of them had sat together during the staff training, so they were in contact for a period of time. However, they rarely contacted each other after that. After all, Hu Tian was a professor in the Mathematics Department, while Professor Zheng was a professor in the Biology Department. Their research areas and office locations were far apart. Why did she rush over so early in the morning today? ¡°Professor Hu, the weather is pretty good today.¡± Professor Zheng smiled. As soon as she finished speaking, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the sky. The strong wind blew, causing the trees outside to sway. Immediately after, heavy rain poured down. Professor Zheng stood awkwardly on the spot. To ease the awkwardness, Hu Tian said, ¡°Professor Zheng, why don¡¯t you sit down and have some coffee? This coffee tastes pretty good. Lin Fan brought it from Li City¡­¡± ¡°No need, no need¡­¡± When Professor Zheng heard the first half, she waved her hands repeatedly. However, after hearing the second half of the sentence, she kept nodding and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll have to trouble you, Professor Hu.¡± Hu Tian could not help but look at Professor Zheng again. She did not say anything and stood up to help pour a cup of coffee. Instantly, a rich fragrance filled the entire office. Professor Zheng took a light sip, and a look of enjoyment appeared on her face. She praised, ¡°It tastes really good!¡± Although she rarely drank coffee, these words definitely came from her heart. Then, she took a mouthful after another. Soon, the entire cup of coffee was finished. It was also at this moment that Professor Zheng seemed to have remembered something. She cleared her throat and said, ¡°Lin Fan is really a genius. Not only could he solve so many mathematical problems, but he also invented the earthquake prediction device in physics and the super battery in chemistry¡­ He even brought such delicious coffee beans¡­¡± At this point, Professor Zheng changed the topic and said, ¡°Professor Hu, I heard that you have a good relationship with Lin Fan¡­ Tell me, does he study biomedicine? Especially when it comes to biomedicine related to diabetes¡­¡± When Hu Tian heard this, she finally understood why Professor Zheng came today. She wanted her to ask Lin Fan had researched biomedicine. Hu Tian thought of the recent changes in Jiangbei University and felt a little relieved. In the past, Jiangbei University¡¯s ace departments were biology, mathematics, chemistry, and physics. Since last year, Lin Fan had solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, Hail Conjecture, and Hodge Conjecture. This made the mathematics department of Jiangbei University the top in Hua Nation and even the entire world. Later on, Lin Fan invented the earthquake prediction device, which made the Physics Department shine all over the world. Not long ago, the super battery was developed, which also made the Chemistry Department quite famous. What about the former ace Biology Department of Jiangbei University? In the past two years, they had also made some achievements. However, compared to what Lin Fan had done, it was nothing. In addition, they had been spending a lot of effort researching biomedicine, but there was no progress at all. This made the entire Biology Department feel awkward and helpless. After figuring out these things, a strange expression appeared on Hu Tian¡¯s face again. Lin Fan was a mathematics student! Why would Professor Zheng think of asking Lin Fan for help in biomedicine? Chapter 341 - 341 Teacher and Student Exchange; Welcome! 341 Teacher and Student Exchange; Welcome! After a while, Hu Tian said, ¡°Lin Fan is my student. My relationship with him is indeed not bad¡­¡± ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll ask him if he can come to the office.¡± ¡°Thank you, Professor Hu.¡± Professor Zheng was overjoyed. If it were an ordinary student, Professor Zheng could have just gone over. However, Lin Fan was clearly not an ordinary student. Hu Tian reminded her, ¡°It¡¯s just that I don¡¯t know if Lin Fan has studied biomedicine.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay¡­ As long as I can ask him,¡± Professor Zheng hurriedly said. ¡­ Lin Fan, Ma Zhong, Song Yi, and Zheng Jinbao had just walked to the teaching building when a clap of thunder suddenly sounded outside. Then, it began to rain heavily. ¡°It must be some scumbag swearing again. Hurry up and strike him to death,¡± Song Yi shouted. Boom! Suddenly, another loud thunder resounded through the world. It even caused the window at the side to shake, scaring Song Yi into shrinking his neck. ¡°It seems like the heavens have found their target.¡± Zheng Jinbao laughed. ¡°I¡¯ve always been very loyal!¡± Song Yi said. However, when he said this, he could not help but raise his head as if he was guarding against lightning. At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket vibrated. Hu Tian: [Lin Fan, are you free now? Can you come to my office?] Lin Fan said: [I happen to be downstairs. I¡¯m coming over now.] Then, Lin Fan said to Song Yi and the rest, ¡°You guys go to the classroom first¡­ Teacher Tiantian is looking for me.¡± After saying that, he walked toward the office. Teacher Tiantian! Song Yi said, ¡°I finally know why the heavens are thundering.¡± After saying that, he raised his head and shouted, ¡°God, remember to aim better next time.¡± Boom! A thunderclap rang out, causing everyone¡¯s eardrums to buzz. Song Yi was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. ¡­ After a while, Lin Fan arrived at his office. When he saw that there was a strange woman inside, he was slightly stunned. Hu Tian first handed him a cup of coffee and then introduced, ¡°This is Professor Zheng Qian from the Biology Department.¡± Professor Zheng quickly bent over and said excitedly, ¡°Lin Fan, hello, hello.¡± ¡°Hello, Professor Zheng,¡± said Lin Fan. If there were any outsiders here, they would have thought that Lin Fan was the teacher and Zheng Qian was the student. ¡°Professor Zheng, don¡¯t you have something to ask Lin Fan?¡± When Lin Fan heard this, his face turned weird. What could she possibly ask him? Professor Zheng quickly took out a stack of documents from her bag and said, ¡°Lin Fan, this¡¯s a project that Professor Wu Tian and I have been working on since the year before before¡­ ¡®Research on Restoring the Balance of Insulins in Diabetes¡¯¡­ ¡°However, after two years of research, Professor Wu Tian and I have encountered many problems. Here, here, and here¡­ How should we resolve this?¡± Diabetes? Insulins? She was asking Lin Fan? He¡­ He did not understand at all. Suddenly, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve triggered a mission. Watch a biology experiment and read ¡®Introduction to Insulins¡¯, ¡®Treatment of Diabetics¡¯, ¡®Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutics¡¯, ¡®Pharmaceutics Technology¡¯, and ¡®Microbiology and Immunity Technology¡¯. You¡¯ll receive Professor-Level Biology Experience, human islet recovery medicine, its manufacturing principle, and a complete thesis.] When Lin Fan heard this, a weird look appeared on his face. He had just encountered a problem with biomedicine, and in the blink of an eye, he had triggered the corresponding mission? Professor Zheng saw that Lin Fan did not say anything for a long time and was not looking at the information. She thought that Lin Fan had not studied biomedicine and glucose. She could not help but sigh. Even though she was already mentally prepared for this, after getting this result, she still felt a little depressed. Was the Biology Department really going to fall? Professor Zheng opened her mouth and was about to say something¡­ At this moment, Lin Fan said, ¡°Bring me to the laboratory to see your experiment.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Professor Zheng was slightly stunned. Lin Fan said, ¡°What? Is it inconvenient to watch the experiment? Do you need to keep this experiment a secret?¡± After hearing Lin Fan speak again, Professor Zheng was overjoyed. ¡°No, definitely not. Lin Fan, our laboratory is in front. This way, please¡­¡± Lin Fan wanted to see the experiment, which proved that he had studied biomedicine and glucose! This was good news for the Biology Department, absolutely good news! In fact¡­ Biomedicine experiments needed to be kept confidential, and they were very strict. However, they could make an exception for Lin Fan. They even wanted to invite Lin Fan over to take a look. Lin Fan did not leave the office immediately. Instead, he said, ¡°Teacher Tiantian, I¡¯ll go to the biology laboratory to take a look.¡± Hu Tian nodded and said, ¡°Professor Zheng, remember to tell Professor Wu Tian that diabetes is a problem of the century. It¡¯s not something that can be solved in a short period of time. Tell him not to be too hasty.¡± Obviously, she was taking precautions. This was to prevent everyone from being unhappy if Lin Fan was not able to give any suggestions after watching the experiment. When Professor Zheng heard this, her smile disappeared. She also understood this principle, so she promised, ¡°I¡¯ll be sure to relay Professor Wu Tian your message.¡± The weather in Jiangbei was like a woman¡¯s temper. It was suddenly stormy and suddenly peaceful. When Lin Fan and Professor Zheng walked out of the office, the wind and rain had stopped. The sun was bright in the sky. The two of them crossed the wet field and went straight to Training Building No. 2. Walking in the spacious corridor, the air was faintly filled with a pungent smell, and there were muffled sounds coming from time to time. When the door of the laboratory was pushed open, they saw three graduate students wearing medical protective clothing. They were doing experiments with their heads lowered. They were so careful and focused that they did not even notice Lin Fan and Professor Zheng when they walked in. At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses who had been focused on his computer seemed to have heard the sound and looked toward the door. When he saw Professor Zheng, his expression did not change. When he caught sight of Lin Fan, his murky eyes lit up. He put down what he was doing and ran toward Lin Fan. He stretched out his hands and bowed slightly. He said excitedly, ¡°Hello, Lin Fan. Welcome to our biology laboratory!¡± Chapter 342 - 342 Watch the Experiment; Mission Completed! 342 Watch the Experiment; Mission Completed! The middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses was Professor Wu Tian. Wu Tian had a deep impression of Lin Fan. It could even be said that he admired Lin Fan. A professor worshiping a student? That was right! Lin Fan solved several difficult math problems, invented the earthquake prediction device, super batteries, and so on. In Wu Tian¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan was almost omnipotent. Therefore, when the biomedicine project encountered an unsolvable problem, he immediately thought of Lin Fan. That was why Zheng Qian went to ask Hu Tian for help today. Since others were friendly to him, Lin Fan naturally would not put on airs. ¡°You must be Professor Wu Tian, right?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no professor in front of you,¡± Wu Tian hurriedly said. ¡°You can just call me Old Wu.¡± The three graduate students who were focused on their experiments heard their conversation and stopped what they were doing. They looked at Lin Fan curiously. Almost everyone at Jiangbei University knew the name Lin Fan. However, Lin Fan did not accept interviews. Hence, there were very few people who knew what he looked like. Suddenly being stared at by so many people, Lin Fan felt a little uncomfortable. He coughed lightly and said, ¡°Old¡­ Wu¡­Forget it, I¡¯ll just call you Professor Wu. ¡°Professor Wu, can I watch you complete an experiment?¡± Wu Tian did not hesitate at all and said directly, ¡°The three of you, complete the experiment once. Remember, you must do it well!¡± The three graduate students nodded vigorously. Then, they took a deep breath and started the experiment from the beginning with a more careful and focused expression. They looked like soldiers who were about to be inspected. This kind of biological experiment was very difficult to see with the naked eye. Wu Tian pointed at the computer screen and said, ¡°Lin Fan, please look here¡­¡± The cells that were usually invisible were densely packed on the three screens. In the beginning, the cells in the three screens were slowly wriggling in the solution. However, as time passed, the cells squirmed slower and slower. In the end, some of the cells were completely silent. At this moment, the three graduate students injected three different liquids. The cells on the first screen resumed squirming but soon stopped moving. The cells on the other screen seemed to have gone crazy. They squirmed rapidly, but they stopped at an even faster speed. The cells on the last screen did not respond at all. ¡­ Immediately after, red, blue, and yellow curves appeared on the screen. The one-hour-long experiment ended. Professor Wu Tian asked in an expectant tone, ¡°Student Lin Fan, what do you think? How should I improve it?¡± In fact, not only was Wu Tian looking forward to it, but Professor Zheng and the three graduate students were also looking forward to it. Lin Fan did not reply immediately. Instead, he placed his attention on the system mission [Mission: Watch a biological experiment (1/1), read ¡®Introduction to Insulins¡¯, ¡®Treatment of Diabetics¡¯, ¡®Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutics¡¯, ¡®Pharmaceutics Technology¡¯, and ¡®Microbiology and Immunity Technology¡¯ (0/5). You¡¯ll be rewarded with Professor-Level Biology Experience, human islet recovery medicine, its manufacturing principle, and a complete thesis.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan let out a satisfied look and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go to the library first.¡± After saying that, he turned around and left, ignoring Wu Tian, Zheng Qian, and the others who were still in a daze. After the heavy rain, the air in the library was filled with a sweet smell, making the library even more crowded than usual. If an ordinary person came to the library, they would be like a drop of water merging into the sea. They would not be discovered at all. However, Lin Fan was like a dazzling sun. As soon as he walked into the library, someone immediately came over to greet him. ¡°You¡¯re here,¡± a female student said with a smile. She was Lu Ling, whom Lin Fan had met several times in the library. Today, Lu Ling was wearing a long blue dress and a pair of white shoes. She was like the blue sky and white clouds, looking very fresh. Lin Fan smiled and nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°What books are you looking for this time?¡± Lu Ling asked. ¡°Let me help you.¡± Lin Fan did not stand on ceremony. He said directly, ¡°Introduction to Insulins, Treatment of Diabetics, Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutics, Pharmaceutics Technology, and Microbiology and Immunity Technology.¡± ¡°Is that the field of biomedicine? Over there.¡± Lu Ling nodded and walked toward the bookshelf on the left. Soon, a large row of books on biomedicine appeared in front of them. Obviously, she was very familiar with the entire library. With Lu Ling¡¯s help, they found the five books in a short while. Then, Lu Ling led Lin Fan to the place where they usually sat. Lin Fan did not waste time chatting. He picked up a book and started flipping through it. For two minutes, the sound of a book being flipped could be heard. A book that was a hundred pages thick had been read from the beginning to the end. Then, the second book, the third book¡­ Ten minutes later, he finally closed the last book. At this point, he had finished reading all five books. At this moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! Mission completed. Watch a biological experiment (1/1), read Introduction to Insulins, Treatment of Diabetics, Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutics, Pharmaceutics Technology, and Microbiology and Immunity Technology (5/5). You¡¯ll be rewarded with Professor-Level Biological Experience, human islet recovery medicine, its manufacturing principle, and a complete thesis.] Instantly, Lin Fan¡¯s mind was filled with a lot of knowledge about living things, especially about islets. Lin Fan was not too surprised by this result. He just quietly accepted this knowledge. Lu Ling saw that Lin Fan had finished reading all the books and could not help but ask, ¡°Are you planning to study biology?¡± She had seen Lin Fan quickly flip through books on different subjects several times. Every time he finished flipping through, he would solve a problem not long after¡­ Or he would invent something that shocked the world. Therefore, Lu Ling no longer naively thought that Lin Fan was just flipping through books for fun. Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯ve already finished researching.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lu Ling blinked her big eyes, her pretty face full of confusion. Lin Fan did not continue to explain. He looked down at the questions on the table and asked, ¡°Are there any questions you don¡¯t know?¡± However, Lin Fan seemed to have helped her solve some questions every time she saw him. It seemed to be true. Lu Ling¡¯s pretty face turned slightly red, and she said in a soft voice, ¡°Yes.¡± Having just completed his mission, Lin Fan was in a pretty good mood. He picked up a pen and paper and wrote down the answers to the questions in front of him in an ingenious and detailed way. Chapter 343 - 343 Send; Become a Mine Owner! 343 Send; Become a Mine Owner! Lin Fan¡¯s mind was filled with the biology knowledge that he had just obtained. Therefore, he did not stay in school for long. Instead, he drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class alone and went straight back to Coiling Dragon Villa. On the coffee table in the living room, there was a stack of documents¡­ ¡®Human Islet Recovery Medicine Technique.¡± Next to it were bottles of transparent liquid. Obviously, this was the reward for completing the mission. These bottles of transparent liquid were precisely the human islet recovery medicine. Lin Fan thought about it and called out, ¡°Lil White.¡± ¡°Master, please give your instructions.¡± The super smartwatch on his wrist made a crisp sound and flashed a gentle light. Lin Fan¡¯s lips twitched. Where did this guy learn his lines from? ¡°Can you help me register the patent of the human islet recovery medicine?¡± As Lin Fan spoke, he waved the bottles and documents in his hands. Even though Lin Fan did not lack money, directly contributing his technology was¡­ He was not able to do so. He was not a good person. The super smartwatch shot out a red beam of light and scanned the documents and the human inlet recovery medicine. ¡°Of course, no problem.¡± Then, countless codes appeared on the super smart watch. About ten minutes later, Lil White spoke again, ¡°Master, I¡¯ve already registered a global patent.¡± At the same time, electronic patent documents appeared on the screen of the super smart watch. Lin Fan said, ¡°Not bad.¡± ¡°Thank you for your compliment, Master,¡± said Lil White happily. A smiley emoji appeared on its screen. Lin Fan looked at the computer not far away and muttered, ¡°Let¡¯s just write the thesis.¡± As he spoke, he strode forward. Five seconds later, the computer turned on. A series of extremely complicated papers appeared on the screen. About an hour later, a complete thesis appeared! Lin Fan wrote his name in the first author position. Wu Tian and Zheng Qian were written as the second authors. When he was working on the super battery thesis, Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa were the ones who showed Lin Fan the experiment. Hence, Lin Fan put down their names as the second authors. This time, Wu Tian and Zheng Qian let him watch the biological experiment. Naturally, Lin Fan would not be biased. ¡°I sent it to Science last time, so I¡¯ll send it to Nature this time.¡± Lin Fan muttered to himself. He found Nature¡¯s email and sent it. Then, Lin Fan said, ¡°Lil White, do the same as last time. Get the thesis approved in the shortest time possible.¡± ¡°Leave it to me, Master!¡± Lil White said. ¡­ At this time, it was early in the morning in America. Barry Aiken, the editor of Nature, was lying on a soft bed, sleeping soundly. The next moment, the sound system, television, washing machine, and refrigerator in his house¡­ All the electrical appliances that could make a sound rang out at the loudest volume. Barry Aiken was so frightened that he stood up. His eyes widened as he cried out in surprise, ¡°The machines have turned into monsters!¡± Plop! Then, he fell straight to the ground and fainted. It was also at this moment that the electrical appliances in the room returned to normal. This happened to Esmond Bevans, who was also an editor of Nature, as well¡­ All the electrical appliances are ringing. ¡­ That night, the appliances in the homes of many Nature editors turned on automatically and made sounds. Some editors fainted from fright, while others fell ill from fright¡­ As for the chief editor, he found an email in his computer mailbox¡ªPrinciples of Human Islet Recovery Medicine. The next day, in the Humph University¡¯s biomedicine laboratory, under the leadership of several world-famous biomedicine professors, an extremely urgent experiment was carried out. ¡­ Lin Fan was completely oblivious to all of this. He had just woken up from his dream and looked at his phone screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,532,102 yuan was deposited into your account.] Lin Fan put his phone aside and muttered, ¡°Let¡¯s see what I can get by signing in today.¡± ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the mountains in the southern suburbs of Jiangbei City.] ¡°Mountains in the southern suburbs? What¡¯s the use of this? I can¡¯t be the king of the mountains¡­¡± Lin Fan shook his head and said, ¡°Forget it. It¡¯s better than ten million.¡± At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Liu Yuhang. Lin Fan had a good impression of Liu Yuhang. Firstly, if Liu Yuhang had not provided him with the information about the 100-year-old ginseng, Lin Fan would have had to spend a lot more time to obtain the 100-year-old ginseng and obtain the right to purchase Medical Water. Secondly, Liu Yuhang¡¯s personality and character were both very good. Therefore, Lin Fan pressed the answer button. ¡°Good morning, Brother Lin Fan! Did I disturb your rest?¡± As soon as the call connected, Liu Yuhang¡¯s loud voice came through. Lin Fan said, ¡°No, I¡¯ve been up for a while.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good!¡± Liu Yuhang said. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, I have good news for you!¡± ¡°Good news?¡± Lin Fan asked curiously. Liu Yuhang did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, the mountains in the southern suburbs of Jiangbei are under your name, right?¡± Liu Yuhang already knew about the mountains when he had just acquired them? Was he that resourceful? Even though he was thinking this way, Lin Fan still replied, ¡°Yeah, why?¡± ¡°It really is you, Brother Lin Fan! Hahaha! Brother Lin Fan, congratulations, you¡¯ve found a mine in that mountain, a gold mine!¡± Liu Yuhang shouted excitedly. He seemed happier than if he were to discover his own mine. Lin Fan was stunned. He never expected to find a gold mine in the mountains! In that case, would he not become a legendary mine owner? ¡°Brother Lin Fan, according to the expert¡¯s estimation, the gold ore in your mountains is worth more than tens of billions of yuan!¡± Initially, Lin Fan was a little curious and happy that he had become a mine owner. After hearing Liu Yuhang¡¯s words, he became much calmer. Worth tens of billions of yuan? He owned several companies and buildings of the same value. His shares in Little Tanuki Group and Penguin Group had reached more than a trillion! He really did not need to care too much about a mere tens of billions of yuan. Hence, Lin Fan said, ¡°Is that so? Then my luck isn¡¯t bad.¡± He had obtained a gold mine worth tens of billions of yuan. However, he only said one sentence. His luck was not bad? Was this just ¡®not bad¡¯? This was great, alright?! If it were someone else, they would probably jump up in joy! However, Liu Yuhang thought about how Lin Fan had increased his funds by 400% in three days. He felt a little enlightened. After all, for a financial genius, tens of billions were nothing, right? Yes, that should be it. Chapter 344 - 344 A Beautiful Woman Should Wear Beautiful Clothes; Crying! (1) 344 A Beautiful Woman Should Wear Beautiful Clothes; Crying! (1) Today, when geologists discovered that there was a gold mine in the southern suburbs, it caused quite a stir in Jiangbei City. Many people, including the Jiangbei government, wanted to get involved. However, they soon discovered that the mountains had an owner. The master¡¯s name was Lin Fan. That was why Liu Yuhang had called Lin Fan. Liu Yuhang and Lin Fan chatted for a while more before hanging up. Lin Fan rubbed his chin and said, ¡°A gold mine?¡± After thinking for a moment, he dialed the number of the general manager of the Flying Dragon Security Company, Wang Shengli. Wang Shengli seemed to have been waiting for the call. It rang once before it was immediately picked up. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. What can I do for you?¡± Wang Shengli said in an extremely respectful tone. Lin Fan was quite satisfied with Wang Shengli. The preparation of buses every time he and his coursemates gathered as well as how he handled the situation at the Hyatt Hotel previously showed that he had good work ability and attitude. Lin Fan said, ¡°I found a gold mine in the mountains in the southern suburbs. Do you have a way to mine it?¡± When Wang Shengli heard this, his breathing became hurried. Was Mr. Lin going to put him in an important position? ¡°Mr. Lin, I promise that I can extract all the gold!¡± he said excitedly. ¡°Good!¡± Lin Fan said. After Lin Fan finished his breakfast, he drove his Mercedes-Benz G-Class and headed straight for the KM mall. He had made an appointment with Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling to go shopping together yesterday. During this period of time, he was either in school, accompanying Ling Rou, or going to Li City to fetch Su Ningjing. As a result, it had been a while since he had accompanied Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling. ¡­ At this moment, Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling had already arrived at the entrance of the KM Mall. Qiu Ziqian was wearing a colorful dress today. It complemented her voluptuous figure and snow-white skin. She looked like a fairy standing in the rainbow. Huang Ling was wearing a light yellow dress. Her beautiful face and perfect figure were filled with warmth. She could melt people¡¯s hearts. The two of them stood at the entrance like beautiful scenery, attracting the gazes of all the handsome men and beautiful women who came in and out. At the same time, they also attracted the attention of a man with long back hair who was dressed in a white shirt. His name was Guo Zixiang. Guo Zixiang was an ordinary white-collar worker. Usually, his hair would be styled in a bowl cut and he would wear gold-rimmed glasses every day. He was a yes-man in the company. Today¡­ He changed his style and did a hairstyle that he thought was handsome. He changed into fashionable black-rimmed glasses, raised his head, puffed out his chest, and walked forward with arrogance. He was very smug. Last night, his father called to say that there was a mine in the mountain in front of their house¡ªa gold mine! After Guo Zixiang received the news, he immediately jumped up for joy. A gold mine! This meant¡­ he would soon become a super-rich tycoon! In the past, he had been submissive because he always felt that he was poor and inferior. Now that he knew he was going to be rich, he was completely free. The sleeping beast in his heart had finally awakened. In the past, Guo Zixiang would never dare to strike up a conversation with a beautiful woman. Today, however, he dared to! ¡­ Qiu Ziqian said, ¡°Lin Fan should be here in a while. Let¡¯s go to the entrance and take a walk.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Huang Ling said. Hence, the two of them walked into the Chanel shop at the entrance. ¡°Welcome to Chanel.¡± The saleswoman smiled and said, ¡°May I help you?¡± ¡°We¡¯ll just take a look first,¡± Qiu Ziqian said. ¡°Alright,¡± the female sales assistant said. Hence, Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling looked at the clothes one by one and compared them to the other. They were like children who had seen their favorite toy and their faces were full of smiles. However, they did not notice that a man had been following behind them. It was Guo Zixiang. It was Guo Zixiang¡¯s first time entering a Chanel store. He first stole a glance at Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling. Then, he could not help but pick up two pieces of clothing to secretly look at the price. 28,999 yuan! 45,888 yuan! Guo Zixiang was shocked and could not help but take two steps back. The price was simply too expensive. At this moment, Huang Ling suddenly noticed the blue garment of clothing that Guo Zixiang had just seen. The price was 28,999 yuan. She said, ¡°That one seems pretty good.¡± When Guo Zixiang heard this voice, his entire person went a little limp. Then, he suddenly thought of something. He was now a super-rich tycoon! It was just a dress that cost tens of thousands of yuan! Thus, he raised his head again like a gentleman and took two steps forward. He picked up the piece of clothing that cost 28,999 yuan and smiled at Huang Ling. ¡°Beautiful women should wear more expensive clothes.¡± Then, he turned to the salesperson and said, ¡°Hello, please wrap this dress up.¡± After saying that, he handed over a bank card. ¡°Alright,¡± the salesperson said. She picked up the bank card and swiped it gently on the POS machine. Beep! A crisp sound rang out from the machine. Then, the receipt appeared. Guo Zixiang picked up the dress and handed it to Huang Ling, saying, ¡°For you, pretty lady.¡± He felt that he was so cool now. The beauty would definitely be touched beyond words. Guo Zixiang even began to imagine¡­ he and Huang Ling eating together and holding hands. Chapter 345 - 345 A Beautiful Woman Should Wear Beautiful Clothes; Crying! (2) 345 A Beautiful Woman Should Wear Beautiful Clothes; Crying! (2) However¡­ Huang Ling¡¯s voice quickly interrupted his imagination. ¡°No need.¡± Guo Zixiang was not angry and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to be polite with me, pretty lady.¡± At this moment, a crisp sound came from the entrance of the shop. ¡°She¡¯s not being polite. If she likes it, I¡¯ll buy it for her.¡± This voice belonged to Lin Fan. Qiu Ziqian¡¯s and Huang Ling¡¯s eyes lit up when they heard that. Then, they rushed forward and hugged Lin Fan¡¯s arm tightly. They said happily, ¡°Lin Fan!¡± If it were in the past, Huang Ling would have been more reserved. She would not hug Lin Fan with Qiu Ziqian in a crowded place. However, after not seeing him for a while, Qiu Ziqian¡¯s longing for Lin Fan reached an uncontrollable level. Therefore, she could not care less. Seeing this¡­ Guo Zixiang froze. W-What was going on? These two beauties actually had a boyfriend! Moreover, it seemed to be the same person! Why? Why? Lin Fan did not care about that. He turned to the salesperson and said, ¡°Help me wrap up all the clothes that they took a fancy to just now.¡± When Huang Ling and Qiu Zi heard this, they immediately felt as if they had eaten candy. The salesperson was a little stunned and said, ¡°T-There are a total of eight pieces of clothing. Do you want all of them?¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir,¡± the salesperson said excitedly. Eight pieces of clothing for less than 200,000 yuan. What a bargain! Lin Fan took out his bank card. Beep! After a soft sound, the receipt appeared. At the same time, 19 red packets appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s phone. Then, Lin Fan held Huang Ling¡¯s left hand and Qiu Ziqian¡¯s right hand as they walked out together. Only Guo Zixiang was left, holding a piece of clothing that cost 28,999 yuan. He was stunned. The salesperson beside him saw that he had been standing in the shop without moving. She could not help but ask, ¡°Sir, do you need any more help?¡± Guo Zixiang came back to his senses and waved his hand repeatedly. ¡°No, no, no. No need.¡± Then, he walked out of Chanel. At this moment, Guo Zixiang¡¯s stomach growled. He glanced at the barbecue restaurant in front of him and walked in. Perhaps it was because he had just spent tens of thousands of yuan and had not succeeded in hitting on a beautiful woman, he wanted to eat something to vent his anger. Perhaps it was because he had become a super-rich tycoon, so he wanted to indulge in high-quality beef. Therefore, Guo Zixiang ordered a lot of dishes for this meal. He was very satisfied. Guo Zixiang burped and wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth. ¡°Waiter, the bill, please!¡± ¡°Hello, that¡¯s 799 yuan in total,¡± the waiter said. In the past, Guo Zixiang¡¯s heart would definitely hurt if he spent 799 yuan on a meal. Today, he was very relaxed. After all, he was now a super-rich tycoon. Hence, he casually took out his bank card. The waiter took the bank card and gently swiped it on the POS machine, but soon, there was an urgent series of beeps. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but your bank card has insufficient funds,¡± the waiter said. ¡°Insufficient funds?¡± Guo Zixiang frowned. ¡°How is that possible?¡± However, he quickly remembered that he only had 46,000 yuan on his card. He had just used 45,888 yuan to buy a Chanel dress. It seemed normal that his card had insufficient funds. Then, Guo Zixiang took out his phone and looked at his WeChat balance¡ª1.3 yuan. He could not help but cough and say, ¡°Uhh¡­ Waiter, wait a moment. I¡¯ll make a call first.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± the waiter replied. After saying that, he walked to the side. However, the waiter¡¯s eyes were fixed on Guo Zixiang. It was obvious that he was trying to prevent him from escaping. Guo Zixiang did not notice this. He dialed his father¡¯s number directly. After two rings, the call was connected. ¡°Zixiang, why are you calling?¡± His father¡¯s slightly hoarse voice came from the phone. At the same time, there was a dull rumble. ¡°Dad, what¡¯s that sound?¡± Guo Zixiang asked. ¡°Didn¡¯t I say yesterday that a gold mine was discovered in the mountains? So the machines are here to mine!¡± Guo An said. As he spoke, he spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm. Guo Zixiang had never liked his father spitting. He thought it was very disgusting. However, at this moment, he thought he heard the sound of nature. He¡­ He was finally going to become a super-rich tycoon! ¡°Really?¡± Guo Zixiang said excitedly. ¡°They¡¯re already here to mine? Dad, transfer me a few hundred thousand yuan first.¡± ¡°What? What did you say, you son of a b*tch?!¡± Guo An shouted. Guo Zixiang said, ¡°Transfer me a few hundred thousand! Since we¡¯ve found a gold mine, our family should get at least tens of millions, right?¡± ¡°Who told you that we¡¯re going to get tens of millions?!¡± Guo An shouted. ¡°Bullsh*t! What does it have to do with us that someone else discovered a gold mine?¡± Guo Zixiang was stunned for a moment and said, ¡°D-Didn¡¯t Grandpa say that the mountains belong to our family?¡± ¡°Your grandfather also said that he was a commander in the past!¡± Guo An shouted. ¡°He was just a soldier on the front lines!¡± Guo Zixiang¡¯s heart turned slightly cold. Immediately after, he said, ¡°But¡­ But didn¡¯t our family use to farm in the mountains?¡± Guo An sneered. ¡°I¡¯ve pooped in the park before. Does that mean the park is mine too? Is there anything else?¡± Guo An asked. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go and look at the excavators!¡± After saying that, he hung up the phone. Guo Zixiang held his phone and was in a daze. No¡­ There was no gold mine in his family. He was no longer a super-rich tycoon. There was nothing else. Everything was gone. When he slowly lowered his head and saw the Chanel dress that he had spent 45,888 yuan on, his eyes turned slightly red as he started crying. At this moment, the waiter walked over and said, ¡°Excuse me, sir. Are you going to pay now?¡± ¡­ Lin Fan, Qiu Ziqian, and Huang Ling had no idea what Guo Zixiang had experienced. The three of them chatted as they shopped. They were very relaxed and happy. When they left the mall, they bought 20 pieces of clothing, six pairs of shoes, and three bags. It was a fruitful trip. At night, Lin Fan brought Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling to Tribute Garden Restaurant. Dozens of waiters had already lined up in two rows to welcome them. The luxurious private room was filled with rose petals and swaying candlelight, forming a big heart. On the huge dining table, there were many tempting delicacies and wine. When the three of them walked into the room, fireworks exploded outside the French windows, forming a dazzling heart shape. Flowers, delicacies, wine, fireworks¡­ It was like a dream. Qiu Ziqian¡¯s and Huang Ling¡¯s beautiful eyes flickered along with the candlelight. This meal was filled with happiness. When Lin Fan brought Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling back to Yi Ke City¡­ Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling could not hold themselves back anymore and pounced into Lin Fan¡¯s embrace. This night was destined to be sleepless. ¡­ After that, Lin Fan stayed in Yi Ke City for two days. It was not until the third day that he returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa. He sat on the soft sofa and looked at the 302 red packets on the screen. He muttered, ¡°302? Let¡¯s see what I can get. ¡°Open them all!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained two yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 888 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a car¡ªCullinan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 334 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a one yuan critical hit card.] ¡­ The 302 red packets were obtained by spending 3.02 million yuan. After opening these red packets, Lin Fan received a total of 89,112 yuan, a Cullinan, and a one yuan critical hit card. Cullinan¡¯s price was nine million. As for the one yuan critical hit card, he could earn 100 million yuan if he spent one yuan! Regarding this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s expression did not change at all. He was still sitting on the sofa and playing with his phone. After two days of hard work¡­ That night, Lin Fan slept very comfortably and soundly. Chapter 346 - 346 Published in Nature! 346 Published in Nature! Lin Fan slept comfortably and soundly¡­ The medical and pharmaceutical industry, on the other hand, was in an uproar as if a level 12 storm had been set off. This was because there was a new paper published in Nature¡ªPrinciples of Human Islet Recovery Medicine. Gray Rui Medical Group, America. The president, Jonathan Darwin, stared at the screen with his sharp eyes. The two technical directors were like puppets, holding their breaths and standing at the side. After a long time, Jonathan Darwin slowly said, ¡°What do you guys think?¡± The technical director who wore gold-rimmed glasses said, ¡°Last night, I conducted an experimental analysis based on the paper. The data is completely consistent.¡± The taller fair-skinned technical director said, ¡°This paper was jointly tested by Professor Mantis, Professor Harvin, Professor Roslev, and other professors from the University of California. They did a total of ten sets of data, and each set of data matched the paper.¡± Jonathan Darwin said, ¡°So you¡¯re saying that this human islet recovery medicine can really treat diabetes?¡± The two technical directors looked at each other and nodded. ¡°From the current data, that¡¯s indeed the case.¡± Jonathan Darwin got up and paced back and forth in his office. After a while, he picked up the phone on the table and said, ¡°Arnie, contact Lin Fan, the author of Principles of Human Islet Recovery Medicine, as soon as possible. I want to obtain the patent for the human islet recovery medicine at all costs. At the very least, I want to obtain the rights to develop and sell the patent!¡± Jonathan Darwin was the CEO of Gray Rui Group, one of the world¡¯s top pharmaceutical companies. He knew very well what this medicine meant. Some people said that AIDS was the most terrifying. There were tens of millions of people suffering from AIDS worldwide, and hundreds of thousands of people died from AIDS every year. The number of people suffering from diabetes in the world had reached hundreds of millions. Almost every second, several people died of diabetes. In the medical world, the danger and importance of diabetes could definitely be ranked in the top ten diseases! Now, someone had actually developed a drug to treat diabetes. To pharmaceutical companies, this was like a nuclear weapon! Therefore, not only Gray Rui Group but other powerful groups like Luo Shi Group were making similar moves. ¡­ Lin Fan did not care about any of this. When the dazzling sunlight shone through the cracks of the trees and onto the ground like a dazzling star, Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. Out of habit, he glanced at his phone. A text message had already appeared on the screen. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,000,000 yuan.] Lin Fan ignored the message and yawned. He slowly got up, washed up, and ate breakfast. When Lin Fan walked out and opened the door, a tall and sturdy car appeared at the door. It was a Cullinan, which he had obtained yesterday. Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. ¡°This car looks good. I¡¯ll drive it today.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan opened the car door and sat inside. The soft leather seats, the carbon fiber panels, and the steering wheel that was full of texture, coupled with the dazzling starry ceiling, gave people a luxurious and comfortable experience. Boom! He stepped on the accelerator, and the V12 with 571 horsepower made the entire car roar like a dragon. About 20 minutes later, Lin Fan arrived at Jiangbei University. Lin Fan had just parked his car when Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Jinbao happened to pass by with their school bags. ¡°A Cullinan! Brother Lin Fan, you changed cars again?¡± Song Yi¡¯s eyes widened like light bulbs. Zheng Jinbao said excitedly, ¡°The appearance of it is too domineering!¡± Ma Zhong did not say anything, but he stared at Cullinan without blinking. Obviously, he was also very fascinated. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, can we go in and take a look?¡± Song Yi asked. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Of course. Why are you being so polite with me?¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Song Yi said happily. Zheng Jinbao and Ma Zhong¡­ could not wait to get into the Cullinan either. ¡°The seats are too comfortable!¡± ¡°A starry sky!¡± ¡°Is this an umbrella that costs 100,000 yuan?¡± ¡­ The three of them touched each corner of the car, occasionally letting out a sigh of praise. After a long time, they reluctantly left the Cullinan. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, where have you been these past few days?¡± Song Yi asked. ¡°Were you busy getting this Cullinan?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not true. Someone sent the Culinan directly to my house¡­ In the past few days, I wrote a thesis and got a piece of land,¡± Lin Fan said. In Lin Fan¡¯s eyes, the mountains¡­ also belonged to the earth. Therefore, there was nothing wrong with saying that he got a piece of land. However, when Song Yi and the others heard it, they were puzzled. ¡°Is it a very big piece of land?¡± Ma Zhong asked. ¡°It¡¯s quite big,¡± Lin Fan said in a relaxed manner. ¡°The mountains in the southern suburbs are mine now.¡± Silence. The entire scene was suddenly silent. Ma Zhong, Song Yishang, and Zheng Jinbao were stunned. Lin Fan had taken ownership of a giant piece of land! ¡°Brother Lin Fan, I¡¯ll kneel before you,¡± Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and Ma Zhong said in unison. ¡­ Just as Lin Fan and the others walked into the classroom, an excited voice suddenly sounded from behind them. ¡°Lin Fan!¡± Lin Fan turned around slowly. It was Professor Zheng Qian and Professor Wu Tian from the Biology Department. ¡°Lin Fan, your Principles of Human Islet Recovery Medicine has been published in Nature!¡± Professor Zheng Qian said excitedly. As soon as he said this¡­ The noisy classroom immediately quieted down because there was no class. They did not know what the Principles of Human Islet Recovery Medicine represented or what kind of paper it was. However, everyone had heard of Nature! If an ordinary student published a thesis on Nature, they would definitely be able to get a postgraduate degree, a Ph.D. degree, or stay in school! If an ordinary teacher published a thesis on Nature, they would be promoted to a full professor! If they remembered correctly, Lin Fan had just published a paper in Science not long ago, right? Now, he had published a paper on Nature? They were all humans, so why was there such a huge difference between them? Wu Tian said, ¡°Lin Fan, we didn¡¯t do anything, but you wrote our names as the second authors. We¡­ We don¡¯t deserve it.¡± At the mention of this matter, Wu Tian¡¯s face was filled with shame and admiration. Back then, when he encountered many unsolvable problems in his experiment on the hormone, he thought of Lin Fan immediately. Lin Fan did not say much after he arrived at the laboratory. At that time, Wu Tian was still a little confused. Perhaps Lin Fan really did not have much knowledge about glucose. However, in just a few days, Lin Fan published a complete research paper on islets in Nature. Looking at it now, Lin Fan did not say anything after he finished watching the experiment because his experiment was full of mistakes. He did not know where to start! Chapter 347 - 347 Ive Already Made It; Choose! 347 I¡¯ve Already Made It; Choose! ¡°Yeah, we don¡¯t deserve it.¡± Back then, when he encountered many unsolvable problems in the experiment, Professor Wu Tian kept asking Zheng Qian to ask Lin Fan for help. At that time, Zheng Qian felt that Wu Tian was desperate. Yes, Lin Fan was indeed an incredible genius. He solved several math problems and invented the earthquake prediction device and the super battery. However, nobody was perfect. Lin Fan could not possibly be perfect in every aspect, right? After all, she had never heard of him doing any research or having any achievements in biomedicine. However¡­ Due to Professor Wu Tian¡¯s repeated pleas, Zheng Qian had the mentality of fulfilling his wishes. That was why she found Hu Tian and met Lin Fan a few days ago. Who would have thought that in just a few days, Lin Fan would write the Principles of Human Islet Recovery Medicine and successfully publish it on Nature?! Lin Fan even wrote her and Professor Wu Tian¡¯s names as the second authors. If the data from the Principles of Human Islet Recovery Medicine were used to develop the hormone recovery medicine, it would be possible for patients to be cured completely. This was definitely a thesis worthy of winning the Nobel Prize! Her name had appeared as the second author of the Nobel Prize-level thesis¡­ When Zheng Qian thought of this, she was so excited that her face turned red. Lin Fan waved his hand and said, ¡°If you hadn¡¯t let me watch that experiment, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to write this thesis. So, it¡¯s normal for me to write your names.¡± Lin Fan was definitely not spouting nonsense. After all, watching the biology experiment was one of the conditions to complete the mission. ¡°You¡¯re too humble,¡± Wu Tian said. ¡°Even if you hadn¡¯t watched the experiment, you would¡¯ve still gotten inspiration from somewhere.¡± Obviously, he thought that Lin Fan had been inspired by the experiment, which helped him write the thesis. When solving some difficult problems, some people would suddenly have a flash of inspiration when they were eating, talking, or seeing something. Thus, they could easily solve difficult problems¡­ Such examples were not rare. It was counselor Sun Yaodong! ¡°Lin Fan, that¡¯s great. So you¡¯re in school!¡± Sun Yaodong said happily after seeing Lin Fan. He walked in front of Lin Fan and patted his shoulder. ¡°Not bad, not bad! You published a paper in Science a while ago, and now you¡¯ve published a paper in Nature too¡­ ¡°Back then, I graduated too early. Otherwise, I would have done the same.¡± When Sun Yaodong said this, his face faintly revealed a touch of aftertaste and regret. It was as if he could publish a paper in Nature and Science if he hadn¡¯t graduated so soon. Professor Wu Tian could not help but cough. Only then did Sun Yaodong notice that Wu Tian and Zheng Qian were also in the classroom. He could not help but say awkwardly, ¡°Uh¡­ Lin Fan, Chancellor Shen Liang wants to invite you to his office.¡± Lin Fan said,¡± Alright, I¡¯ll go over now.¡± As he spoke, he walked out. After Lin Fan left, Wu Tian, Zheng Qian, and Sun Yaodong did not have any intention of staying in the classroom. Instantly, the entire classroom was filled with heated discussions. ¡°F*ck! Brother Lin Fan is too awesome!¡± ¡°Brother Lin Fan!!!¡± ¡°Excuse me, where can I get a copy of Nature?¡± ¡­ Lin Fan was completely unaware of the reactions of the students in the classroom. At this moment, he had already arrived outside the chancellor¡¯s office. He raised his hand and gently knocked on the door a few times. Soon, a deep voice sounded from inside. ¡°Please come in!¡± When Lin Fan heard that, he pushed open the door. At this moment, there were two people sitting in the office. One of them was Chancellor Shen Liang. The other person was someone whom Lin Fan had interacted with before, the director of the Academy of Sciences, Feng Yuxiang. ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re here. Sit down.¡± Shen Liang said with a smile. As he spoke, he even personally poured a cup of tea for Lin Fan. Shen Liang was the chancellor of Jiangbei University. In terms of rank, he was not inferior to the leaders of Jiangbei University. Now, however, he was personally pouring tea for Lin Fan. One could imagine how high Lin Fan¡¯s position was in Shen Liang¡¯s heart. ¡°Hello, Lin Fan. Do you still remember me?¡± Feng Yuxiang said. ¡°Hello, Director Feng.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°It¡¯s great that you remember me. I don¡¯t like to beat about the bush, so I¡¯ll be straightforward.¡± ¡°Actually, I came from Jingbei today to look for you,¡± Feng Yuxiang said. ¡°I heard that you published a paper in Nature called Principles of Human Islet Recovery Medicine.¡± Lin Fan looked at Feng Yuxiang in surprise. This news spread really fast. Then, he nodded. ¡°Then are you confident in developing a drug to treat diabetes?¡± Feng Yuxiang asked directly. After saying this, he held his breath and pricked up his ears. His eyes stared at Lin Fan without blinking. It was because this matter¡­ was too important! ¡°You want to develop a medicine to treat diabetes?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Yes!¡± Feng Yuxiang said. ¡°I¡¯ve already done it,¡± Lin Fan said. Whoosh! Feng Yuxiang stood up abruptly and said in a trembling voice, ¡°You¡­ You mean¡­ You¡¯ve already invented it?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan said. Then, he took out the human islet recovery medicine from his pocket. Feng Yuxiang said, ¡°This¡­ This is¡­¡± ¡°This is the human islet recovery medicine. It can be used to treat diabetic patients,¡± Lin Fan said. Although Feng Yuxiang had already guessed it, he was still extremely excited after getting Lin Fan¡¯s confirmation. He said excitedly, ¡°Good, good, good! Haha!¡± After a while, Feng Yuxiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, ¡°Can I take this with me?¡± ¡°No problem,¡± Lin Fan said. Feng Yuxiang held the medicine tightly in his arms as if he were holding a peerless treasure, afraid that it would fall to the ground and shatter. ¡°There¡¯s one more thing¡­ Lin Fan, can I ask you for a favor? Can you try to let a Hua Nation company be the main sales channel for this human islet recovery medicine?¡± Feng Yuxiang said. ¡°Of course, you can also register your own company for sales. ¡°I also know that this may be a little difficult for you, but the country will give you some convenience and compensation.¡± The pharmaceutical companies in Hua Nation could only be considered above average internationally. As a result, many drugs were often snatched by foreign countries. If Lin Fan was able to let a Hua Nation company be in charge of the human islet recovery medicine, then it was definitely good news for the medical industry in Hua Nation! However, Lin Fan might lose some benefits. This was because once this drug appeared, countless foreign pharmaceutical giants would definitely pay a sky-high price to buy the agency rights. Lin Fan naturally understood what Feng Yuxiang meant. A sky-high price? 10 billion? 100 billion? Sorry, he really did not lack it. Hence, Lin Fan said, ¡°Forget it. If I register my own company, that¡¯ll be too troublesome¡­ As for letting a Hua Nation company take charge of the medicine¡­¡± Suddenly, Lin Fan thought of Liu Yuhang, who had called him yesterday. Did Liu Yuhang and Sun Luguo not own pharmaceutical companies? Thinking of this, Lin Fan continued, ¡°I¡¯ve already thought of some Hua Nation companies that I can work with.¡± Feng Yuxiang stood up, bent over, and said in an extremely solemn tone, ¡°Thank you, Lin Fan!¡± Chapter 348 - 348 Success; Cooperation Plan! (1) 348 Success; Cooperation Plan! (1) This ¡®thank you¡¯ was for Lin Fan giving up his interests for the sake of the country. At the same time, he was also thanking Lin Fan on behalf of the millions of people with diabetes in Hua Nation. Feng Yuxiang did not stay at Jiangbei University for long. He took the human islet recovery medicine and took the fastest flight to Jingbei. After arriving in Jingbei, he rushed to the Academy of Sciences. Along the way, some experts and academicians greeted him. In the past, Feng Yuxiang would return their greetings one by one. However, today, it was as if he did not hear them. He simply walked over with large strides. When he arrived at the Medical Research Institute, Feng Yuxiang called out, ¡°Academician Wang, Academician Li, I just got this from Lin Fan. Quickly test it and see if it has any effect on diabetes.¡± Academician Wang¡¯s expression changed. He said in disbelief, ¡°Director Feng, you mean Lin Fan¡­ has already developed it?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Feng Yuxiang nodded vigorously. ¡°Quick, let me see!¡± Academician Li said. Then, Academician Wang and Academician Li held the bottle of transparent solution and carefully studied it. Five hours passed. ¡°Rat A¡¯s blood sugar and hormone levels have stabilized!¡± ¡°Rat B¡¯s blood sugar and hormone levels have stabilized!¡± ¡°Rat C¡¯s blood sugar and plasma level are stable!¡± ¡°Rat D¡¯s blood sugar and plasma level have stabilized!¡± ¡­ 12 hours passed. ¡°Rat A¡¯s blood sugar and hormone levels are stable!¡± ¡°Rat B¡¯s blood sugar and hormone levels are stable!¡± ¡°Rat D¡¯s blood sugar and hormone levels are stable!¡± ¡­ 24 hours passed. ¡°Rat A¡¯s blood sugar and hormone levels are stable!¡± ¡°Rat B¡¯s blood sugar and hormone levels are stable!¡± ¡°Rat C¡¯s blood sugar and hormone levels are stable!¡± ¡°Rat D¡¯s blood sugar and hormone levels are stable!¡± ¡­ The white mice were all specially fed and thus suffered from severe diabetes. Under normal circumstances, not to mention 24 hours, even after five hours, the body¡¯s hormones and blood sugar would definitely be abnormal. Now, after 24 hours, everything was still normal! This was enough to prove that¡­ the human islet recovery medicine had a healing effect! Academician Wang and Academician Li were stunned when they heard the results. They had thought that¡­ the human islet recovery medicine might have a certain effect. However, they had never thought that the effect would be so obvious! Seeing that the two of them were silent, Feng Yuxiang could not help but ask, ¡°How is it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a success!¡± Academician Li said. ¡°Hahaha! Great! That¡¯s great!¡± Feng Yuxiang said excitedly. ¡­ In Jiangbei City, there were green grass and trees by the lake. There was an open space of nearly 2,000 square meters. The Liu family¡¯s villa was located here. Liu Sifang, who had a head full of flowery hair, was reading the Nature journal in his hand seriously with his presbyopic glasses. After a long while, he sighed. ¡°In the past, I always thought that my medical skills were not bad. In the end, let alone curing diabetes, I can¡¯t understand even when I¡¯m reading an article on the treatment of diabetes¡­ I really have to admit that I¡¯m old.¡± Liu Yi, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, said, ¡°This article is written using Western medicine terms. It¡¯s not your fault.¡± Liu Sifang shook his head noncommittally. Liu Chuang, who had a full beard, said, ¡°Old Master, what you meant just now was¡­ The medicine for diabetes has been successfully developed?¡± Liu Sifang said, ¡°I consulted some people today. It should be¡­ The name seems to be human islet recovery medicine.¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that all the large pharmaceutical companies in the country and abroad will fight for this medicine,¡± Liu Chuang said. ¡°Yes, according to the information I received, Gray Rui, Qiang Da, Yunbei Baiyao, Sheng Sheng Tang, and many other top pharmaceutical companies have already prepared a large number of funds to get the sales rights in one go,¡± Liu Sifang said. The entire hall fell into a short silence. All of them revealed a look of desire and helplessness. At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from outside. ¡°Dad, Grandpa, Uncle,¡± Liu Yuhang called out. ¡°Do you know about the human islet recovery medicine?¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Liu Sifang could not help but laugh. ¡°Since when did my Yuhang pay so much attention to medical news? Not bad, not bad!¡± As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and prepared to take a few sips. Liu Yuhang said, ¡°This is the medicine that Brother Lin Fan invented. He said that he wants our family and the Sun family to sell it together.¡± Pfft! Liu Si spat out the tea in his mouth. Then, he, Liu Chuang, and Liu Yi stood up from their seats. Their eyes were wide open, and their faces were filled with disbelief. ¡­ The Imperial Hotel, VIP room. Liu Sifang, Liu Yi, Liu Chuang, Liu Yuhang, and the other core members of the Liu family, as well as Sun An, Sun Qingquan, Sun Luguo, and the other core members of the Sun family, were all gathered together. They chatted with each other from time to time, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. If there were other senior executives of pharmaceutical companies in Jiang Province present, they would definitely be so shocked that their jaws would drop to the ground after seeing this scene. One had to know¡­ People of the same trade were enemies. Liu Medical Company and Sun Medical Company were both first-class pharmaceutical companies in Jiang Province. Due to this, the two families had always been like fire and water, constantly competing for the market. It was already good enough that the Liu and Sun families did not fight. How could they ever have a meal together? Chapter 349 - 349 Success; Cooperation Plan! (2) 349 Success; Cooperation Plan! (2) This was also the reason why Sun Luguo and Liu Yuhang often quarreled. However, what was the situation now? Ordinary people naturally did not know that the reason why such a thing happened was because of a young man¡ªLin Fan! At this moment, a series of footsteps sounded not far away. As the door to the private room was pushed open, a tall and handsome young man appeared in everyone¡¯s field of vision. It was Lin Fan! ¡°Brother Lin Fan!¡± Liu Yuhang and Sun Luguo shouted at the same time. At the same time, Liu Sifang, Liu Yi, Sun An, Sun Qing Quan, and the others all stood up. ¡°Mr. Lin, welcome. Please take a seat.¡± As for where he sat, Lin Fan did not have many requirements. After all, no matter where he sat, they were just eating normally. Therefore, he did not decline too much and directly sat in the main seat. Liu Sifang said, ¡°Mr. Lin, Yuhang often mentions you in front of us. You have superb driving skills and excellent chess skills. In just three days, you achieved a staggering 400% profit in a god-level operation in the stock market!¡± As Liu Sifang said this, his wrinkled old face was filled with admiration. After a while, he praised, ¡°You¡¯re indeed extraordinary after seeing you today!¡± He was not exaggerating. Ever since Lin Fan walked into the room, Liu Sifang had been observing him silently. Ordinary young people would definitely feel uneasy in front of them. However, Lin Fan remained calm and collected. Just this temperament alone was not something ordinary people could compare to. Sun An said, ¡°I¡¯m not very good at car racing or finance, but I like chess. Mr. Lin, how about we play a few rounds in the future?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°Alright, haha!¡± Sun An said happily. Exquisite dishes were served by the waiters. The general manager of the Imperial Hotel, Wang Fengyi, was holding a bottle of 2003 Lafite. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Lin Fan, who was sitting in the main seat. He could not help but say in surprise, ¡°Mr. Lin!¡± Lin Fan smiled and nodded at him. For Wang Fengyi to become the general manager of the Imperial Hotel in Jiangbei¡­ In other words, all the big shots and powers in Jiang Province had a certain level of understanding of the situation. Among them, Sun Medical Company and Liu Medical Company were very important in Jiangbei and even the entire Jiang Province. Wang Fengyi naturally knew about them. When he found out that Sun Medical Company and Liu Medical Company, which had always been opposing each other, had gathered together to treat someone to a meal, it really surprised Wang Fengyi. However, after seeing Lin Fan, Wang Fengyi had a look of realization. To Wang Fengyi, no matter how unbelievable it was, as long as it Lin Fan was involved, it was nothing. He suddenly understood, but Sun An, Liu Sifang, and the others were somewhat puzzled. The general manager of the Imperial Hotel seemed to be very familiar with Lin Fan? ¡°Manager Wang, you also know Mr. Lin?¡± Liu Sifang could not help but ask. Wang Fengyi was a little hesitant about whether he should tell the truth. That was because he did not know if Lin Fan wanted the people in the room to know his identity. Lin Fan naturally understood Wang Fengyi¡¯s concerns. He could not help but laugh. ¡°I¡¯m the owner of the Imperial Hotel.¡± Hiss! Everyone in the room gasped. One had to know¡­ The Imperial Hotel was a landmark building in Jiangbei, and its overall cost was more than ten billion yuan. He owned a billion-dollar hotel! Lin Fan was just a young man in his 20s. This¡­ How incredible was this? However, how could they have known that the Imperial Hotel was merely one of Lin Fan¡¯s many businesses? The Sun family and Liu family had only thought of Lin Fan as a genius researcher. At this moment, they felt that Lin Fan was tall and mysterious. As the dishes were placed on the table one after another, Liu Sifang raised his wine glass and said, ¡°Today, I¡¯m very happy to be able to invite Mr. Lin for a meal¡­ ¡°I propose that we all raise our glasses to Mr. Lin.¡± ¡°To Mr. Lin!¡± Everyone present raised their glasses and drank the wine in their glasses. As the wine went down their throats, the atmosphere became even more intense. ¡°During this period of time, Luguo has grown a lot under your influence. Mr. Lin, thank you,¡± Sun An said. After saying that, he raised his glass again. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°How did I affect anything? I¡¯m friends with Sun Luguo and Liu Yuhang. Old Master, you don¡¯t have to be so polite to me. You don¡¯t have to call me Mr. Lin either. Just call me Lin Fan.¡± ¡°Alright, haha!¡± Sun An and Liu Sifang said happily. ¡­ In this banquet, Lin Fan was undoubtedly the main character. There were countless people toasting and chatting with him. Finally, Liu Sifang felt that it was about time, so he told him the purpose of the banquet. ¡°Lin Fan, I heard from Yuhang and Luguo that you¡¯ve developed a human islet recovery medicine and want to hand it over to Liu Medical Group and Sun Medical Group to sell?¡± Everyone pricked up their ears when they heard this. This matter¡­ was of great importance to them. If they could really become an agent, then Sun Medical Company and Liu Medical Company might become famous pharmaceutical companies in the country or even the world! This was definitely an opportunity to reach the heavens in a single step! Lin Fan said casually, ¡°Yes.¡± Instantly, everyone in the private room began to breathe rapidly. It was true! It was true! ¡°Then¡­¡± Sun An asked. ¡°I wonder if you have a plan to act as an agent?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°No¡­ It¡¯s too troublesome to prepare for that. Do you have a plan?¡± This was the truth. If he was not afraid of trouble, Lin Fan could have started his own pharmaceutical company to sell the medicine. Sun An and Liu Sifang looked at each other. After a while, Sun An said, ¡°In fact, we have a preliminary plan. I¡¯ll tell you about it first. If you¡¯re not satisfied with anything, you can propose changes.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± said Lin Fan. ¡°Sun Medical Company and Liu Medical Company will provide the production plant for the human islet recovery medicine. We¡¯ll also be in charge of the advertising, sales, and so on. We¡¯ll take a total of 40% of the profits. Lin Fan, you don¡¯t have to do anything and you can directly have 60% of the profits of the human islet recovery medicine¡­ ¡°We will send you all the sales data regularly. You can check it at any time,¡± Sun An said. There was no cost and no risk. 60% of the profits would be directly obtained from the technology. Overall, it was a very sincere plan. Thus, Lin Fan said, ¡°Sure.¡± Originally, Liu Sifang and Sun An thought that Lin Fan would think for a long time after hearing the proposal. Perhaps¡­ He would even ask for a few more percentage points. However, they did not expect Lin Fan to say yes so easily. He agreed? This¡­ Did he not even think about it? Sun An and Liu Sifang had experienced many things. At this moment, however, they could not help but be stunned. Sun An swallowed his saliva and said, ¡°Lin¡­ Lin Fan, you mean¡­¡± ¡°What you said just now is fine,¡± Lin Fan said. In fact, Lin Fan knew that even if he asked for a few more points, it would not be a problem. However, there was no need. It was just a few points. Lin Fan did not take it to heart at all. As long as he did not have to trouble himself, it was fine. As for the finances, it did not matter even if the Sun and Liu families did not send the data and reports over. Lin Fan had the super smart watch, Lil White. He could easily find out about the situation. After getting Lin Fan¡¯s confirmation, Sun An and Liu Sifang still felt that it was not real. The human islet recovery medicine that was enough to make Sun Medical Company and Liu Medical Company soar to the sky was in this man¡¯s hands. Liu Yuhang said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, please don¡¯t give the Liu and Sun families any benefits just because of me and Sun Luguo.¡± ¡°Yeah, Brother Lin Fan. There¡¯s no need,¡± Sun Luguo followed. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know what to do.¡± ¡°Thank you, Brother Lin Fan!¡± Sun Luguo and Liu Yuhang said sincerely. They understood what kind of benefits Lin Fan had brought them. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°What are you thanking me for? It¡¯s just a small matter!¡± Suddenly, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve completed the hidden mission¡ªbrotherhood. You¡¯ve received two golden packets.] Lin Fan was stunned. Brotherhood? This¡­ It should be Sun Luguo and Liu Yuhang. In other words, not only could he obtain 60% of the profits of the human islet recovery medicine, but he even got two golden packets? This banquet was not bad! Chapter 350 - 350 Constitution Enhancement; Lets Go Home! 350 Constitution Enhancement; Let¡¯s Go Home! Now, the cooperation was successful, and he had even received two golden packets. Everyone from the Sun family and the Liu family, as well as Lin Fan, were in a good mood. The atmosphere of the banquet became even more lively. When Lin Fan returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa, it was already two hours later. He sat on the soft sofa and played with his phone for a while. After a while, he turned his attention to the golden packets. ¡°Let¡¯s see what I can get,¡± Lin Fan muttered. ¡°Open!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 800,000 yuan.] [Ding! [Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a Constitution Enhancement Potion.] Seeing this, Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. Not long ago, he had obtained a bottle of Constitution Enhancement Potion. After drinking it, his strength, speed, and other aspects had obviously increased greatly. This was definitely something good. He did not expect to obtain another bottle so quickly. When Lin Fan raised his head, he saw a bottle of transparent liquid on the coffee table. This¡­ It was the Constitution Enhancement Potion that he had just obtained. Without any hesitation, Lin Fan downed it. Similar to the last time, it was as if a warm current had flowed through his heart. At the same time, his entire body was filled with endless power. Lin Fan jumped up lightly. His entire body seemed to have lost all gravity as he flew toward the ceiling. Luckily, Lin Fan reacted quickly and blocked it with his hand. Otherwise, his head would have made contact with the ceiling. One had to know¡­ The height of the Coiling Dragon Villa was more than five meters. In other words, Lin Fan easily jumped over five meters! With the 100% Hidden Weapon Skill and his current strength, the dart instantly passed through the bullseye and completely sank into the wall. Simply¡­ terrifying! Even Lin Fan was stunned. ¡®Am I that strong now?¡¯ ¡­ While Lin Fan was in a daze, in the female dormitory of Jiangbei University. Zhao Ni took a bottle of iced Coke and strode in. She saw Xia Bing and Xia Xue reading on the table. ¡°Studying again?¡± In fact, she was just asking casually. However, in the next moment, Zhao Ni¡¯s tone changed slightly as she said in surprise, ¡°Huh? This is bio¡­ medicine? When did you start researching this?¡± One had to know¡­ During this period of time, Xia Bing and Xia Xue, the two computer geniuses, had been studying chemistry hard every day. This already made Zhao Ni very puzzled. It took her a long time to slowly accept this. Now, they had changed their focus to biomedicine? Xia Bing and Xia Xue nodded gently and said softly, ¡°Yes¡­ That¡¯s right.¡± Zhao Ni looked at it for a while before rubbing her head. ¡°After learning computer science, you learned chemistry. Now, it¡¯s biology¡­ Is this the world of top students?¡± She shook her head and walked toward the bathroom. Xia Bing and Xia Xue slowly turned their attention to the paper in Nature titled Principles of Human Islet Recovery Medicine. After that, they focused even more on biomedicine. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend. Today, the sun was shining brightly, and there was a gentle breeze. Lin Fan drove the Cullinan toward Qing City. Back then, when Lin Fan was still at work, no matter how busy he was, he would take the time to visit his parents and sister. Now that he was just at school, he had to go home more often. About an hour later, he arrived at the front of Fourth Street. Lin Fan had just parked his car when he heard Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s crisp voice not far away. ¡°Brother!¡± Then, Lin Xiaoyao jogged and pounced on him. Lin Fan said, ¡°You¡¯ve gotten lighter again. Your face has become smaller. It¡¯s full of bones when I pinch it. Hurry up and eat more!¡± ¡°Brother!¡± Lin Xiaoyao said angrily. Lin Tao, who was beside them, smiled. ¡°Alright, go in. Your mother should have prepared dinner.¡± Sure enough, just as he said, the meal was ready. Shredded pork with green pepper, chicken soup, glutinous rice fish, hot and sour shredded potatoes, sweet and sour pork ribs, cucumber ham, tomato scrambled eggs¡­ Six dishes and a soup filled the table. The appearance, fragrance, and taste were all perfect, making one¡¯s appetite rise. The family sat around the table. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable. Everyone was very satisfied. After a full meal, the family sat in front of the television, eating melon seeds and chatting. ¡°When I went to pick Lil Yao up from school, I saw two kids from her school dating. I was sure to criticize them,¡± Lin Tao said. ¡°Lil Yao, you can¡¯t date in school,¡± Dai Weixue immediately said. ¡°I won¡¯t fall in love. Those little boys in school are too childish,¡± Lin Xiaoyao said. ¡°Lil Yao can¡¯t date, but you can, Lil Fan.¡± Lin Tao nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right! Lil Fan, you should get a girlfriend when you have time. Don¡¯t just focus on your studies. There are fewer and fewer women nowadays. If you don¡¯t find one now, you might not be able to find one in the future,¡± Dai Weixue followed up with a look of anticipation. Lin Xiaoyao said, ¡°Dad, Mom, I think¡­ There¡¯s no need to worry about Brother dating! He might even have a few girlfriends already.¡± She knew that Lin Fan owned a lot of villas and sports cars. He had a big house full of Gucci items and was a major shareholder of Cha Yue. In addition, Lin Fan was tall and handsome. How could he not get a girlfriend? Not to mention other things, her two female classmates were in love with Lin Fan. ¡°Cough, cough, cough!¡± When Lin Fan heard Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s words, he almost choked. Dai Weixue¡¯s eyes lit up as she asked, ¡°Really? Lil Fan, when are you going to bring your girlfriend back for us to see?¡± Lin Tao, who had been sipping his tea, put down his cup and looked at Lin Fan. Lin Fan was being stared at by his parents, so he could only bite the bullet and say, ¡°This¡­ I¡­ I¡¯ll look for another chance.¡± What should he do? Who should he bring back? Qin Yuxuan? Qiu Ziqian? Hu Tian? ¡­ He could not bring them all back, right? ¡°Alright, haha!¡± Lin Tao said happily. Dai Weixue asked, ¡°Do you have a photo of your girlfriend?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t take any photos with my phone,¡± Lin Fan said. Lin Fan was not lying. He really had not used his phone to take any photos. Of course, even if he had, Lin Fan would not show them any photos for the time being. At this moment, Lin Xiaoyao seemed to have thought of something and said in a timid tone, ¡°Brother, if your girlfriend finds out that you just drank the Coke I bought, she won¡¯t scold me, right? ¡°Your girlfriend won¡¯t hit me if she knows that I jumped into your arms, right? ¡°Brother, if your girlfriend is so scary¡­ my heart will only ache for you.¡± After saying that, she even pretended to be trembling. Dai Weixue said, ¡°You have to be careful in case Lil Fan¡¯s girlfriend gets the wrong idea in the future.¡± ¡°You do have to be careful,¡± Lin Tao added. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Dad, Mom, don¡¯t listen to Lil Yao¡¯s nonsense. She learned this joke from the internet.¡± Chapter 351 - 351 Meeting an Acquaintance; Collecting Debts 351 Meeting an Acquaintance; Collecting Debts Lin Xiaoyao was now in her third year of high school, and her schedule was very tight. She only had a short half-day off every week. After dinner, Lin Fan drove Lin Xiaoyao to Jiangbei High School. Lin Xiaoyao looked at the dazzling starry sky above and touched the comfortable and soft seat. Her pretty face was filled with enjoyment. ¡°Brother, your girlfriend won¡¯t be angry that I¡¯m sitting in your passenger seat, will she?¡± she asked. ¡°Brother, I¡­¡± Lin Fan smiled and interrupted, ¡°She won¡¯t be angry. Otherwise, your heart will ache, right?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Lin Xiaoyao hugged Lin Fan¡¯s strong arm. After sending Lin Xiaoyao to the school gate, Lin Fan returned home. The night gradually deepened. Lin Fan lay on the big bed that was filled with the smell of sunlight. He slept very comfortably and soundly. The next day, when Lin Fan opened his eyes, the sun was already hanging in the sky. His parents left the house early as usual. After Lin Fan washed up, he went to a stall not far away and ate a bowl of wontons. Then, he strolled along the winding road. Humans were such strange creatures. If he always lived in the same place, perhaps he would not have any thoughts of wandering around at all. Once he returned from other places, he would have an inexplicable urge to look around. Lin Fan looked at the tall buildings, the roads that were being repaired, and the laughing students¡­ He felt extremely relaxed. When a slightly hunched figure appeared in front of him, Lin Fan could not help but shout, ¡°Uncle Xue?¡± The middle-aged man with slightly white sideburns said hesitantly, ¡°Are you¡­ Lil Fan?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me!¡± Lin Fan said happily. Back then, when Lin Fan was in his first year of high school, there were limited dorms, and Lin Fan¡¯s house was quite far from the school. Therefore, he chose to rent a room nearby, which was a room in Xue Baoguo¡¯s house. Xue Baoguo¡¯s aged face was full of wrinkles. He said happily, ¡°Lil Fan, it really is you! ¡°By the way, which university are you in?¡± In the first year of high school, there were not enough dormitories, so the students could rent rooms outside. However, in the second year of high school, the school built a new dormitory. Other than the students who lived within three kilometers of the school, the rest of the students were forced to live on campus. Therefore, Lin Fan only stayed at Xue Baoguo¡¯s house for a year. Therefore, he did not know that Lin Fan had dropped out of school in his third year of high school. ¡°I¡¯m studying at Jiangbei University,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Jiangbei University? Haha! As expected, I knew you would definitely get into a good university!¡± Xue Baoguo said happily, the wrinkles on his face deepening. He looked even happier than when he heard that his son had been admitted to Jiangbei University. Lin Fan did not explain in detail that he did not get in. He was about to say something. At this moment¡­ Xue Baoguo seemed to be too happy that he could not breathe. His face was pale, and he lost the strength to stand upright. He fell to the ground. Fortunately, Lin Fan reacted quickly and grabbed Xue Baoguo¡¯s arms. He asked, ¡°Uncle Xue, are you alright?¡± However, Xue Baoguo only panted heavily. His whole body was covered in a layer of cold sweat, and his pupils kept rolling. He could not answer at all. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan did not hesitate at all. He spent 10,000,000 yuan to buy Medical Water from the system and poured it into Xue Baoguo¡¯s mouth. Gulp! Xue Baoguo¡¯s condition quickly improved after drinking the medicine. His breathing gradually stabilized, and his complexion returned to normal. After a while, he asked in disbelief, ¡°I think I¡¯m fine.¡± Over the past few years, Xue Baoguo had been worried and anxious because of his business. As a result, he suffered from heart pain, high blood pressure, and other diseases. Therefore, he often looked tired and dispirited. Just now¡­ it was as if these illnesses had suddenly disappeared. He felt extremely relaxed right now. ¡°Lil Fan, what did you give me?¡± Xue Baoguo could not help but ask. Lin Fan said, ¡°A little medicine. Uncle Xue, it¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine.¡± At this moment, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded not far away. A middle-aged man with a beer belly slowly walked over from afar. Seeing this¡­ Xue Baoguo hurriedly went up to him and said, ¡°President Liu, I¡¯ve finally found you, President Liu¡­¡± President Liu raised his head and pointed his nose at Xue Baoguo. ¡°Oh, Old Xue, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°President Liu, didn¡¯t I deliver three carts of pork and two carts of beef to you last year? The money¡­ You haven¡¯t paid yet¡­¡± Xue Baoguo said carefully. ¡°It¡¯s just a few carts of meat, isn¡¯t it?¡± President Liu glanced at him and snorted. ¡°You¡¯re even blocking me on the street? Are you worried that I won¡¯t give you the money?¡± ¡°No, no, I definitely didn¡¯t mean that¡­¡± Xue Baoguo hurriedly said. ¡°It¡¯s just that I¡¯ve been in urgent need of some cash recently, and I happened to meet you¡­ So, I came to ask.¡± This was a strange era. Those who owed money were always more arrogant than those who borrowed money. ¡°I¡¯m working on a big project now and don¡¯t have time to deal with this small amount of money. When my project is completed, I¡¯ll settle the bill with you.¡± Without waiting for Xue Baoguo¡¯s reply, he turned around and prepared to leave. ¡°President Liu, I really need this money right now. Can¡¯t you think of a way?¡± Xue Baoguo quickly shouted. President Liu grunted and said impatiently, ¡°Alright, alright, alright. You want money, right? I¡¯ll call you when I get back! I can¡¯t believe you¡¯re nagging so much over money.¡± Then, he prepared to walk forward again. At this moment, a tall and handsome figure suddenly blocked in front of him¡­ It was Lin Fan. ¡°You want to leave? Alright, you just have to pay Uncle Xue the money you owe him right now,¡± Lin Fan said. From President Liu¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan could easily tell that he was just being perfunctory. There was no way he would transfer the money to Uncle Xue right away. A few carts of meat would only cost a few hundred thousand at most¡­ It would not be a big deal even if Lin Fan gave that money to Uncle Xue. However, it was only right and proper to repay debts. President Liu raised his eyebrows and shouted, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Old Xue? Are you worried that I won¡¯t pay, so you found a young man to fight me?¡± Xue Baoguo was about to explain when Lin Fan said, ¡°Uncle Xue, leave it to me.¡± Xue Baoguo saw a calm and collected look on Lin Fan¡¯s face that was different from ordinary young people. He could not help but nod. ¡°Soft tactics didn¡¯t work, so you want to use force?¡± President Liu said. ¡°Old Xue, you¡¯re really bold!¡± Then, he said coldly to Lin Fan, ¡°Brat, get out of my way! Otherwise, the consequences are definitely not something you can bear!¡± Lin Fan¡¯s expression did not change. He said calmly, ¡°Is that so? I want to see what the consequences are.¡± Chapter 352 - 352 Apologize; Introduction! 352 Apologize; Introduction! When President Liu heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly. Just as he was about to say something, his gaze was suddenly attracted by a young man in a checkered shirt. President Liu changed his arrogant appearance from before. He lowered his head like a pug and respectfully called out, ¡°Hello, Young Master Wu.¡± Originally, Young Master Wu did not pay attention to them. However, when he heard someone calling him, he still turned around politely. When he saw President Liu, Young Master Wu¡¯s expression did not change much. However, in the next moment, his pupils suddenly constricted. Then, he quickened his pace and walked forward. It was because he saw Lin Fan! Young Master Wu was the groom of the wedding held at Qing Kun Hotel on the eve of the spring festival, Wu Kai! He would never forget how respectful and fawning all the big shots were toward Lin Fan. At the same time, he could not forget that Lin Fan was a major shareholder of Qing Kun Group, a major shareholder of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, and the owner of the Imperial Hotel! Ever since the wedding, Wu Kai had been fantasizing about when he would be able to chat with Lin Fan and build a relationship with him. Unfortunately, he had never had such an opportunity. Wu Kai did not expect that he would encounter it today! ¡­ President Liu, who had a beer belly, saw Young Master Wu walking toward him. His fat face revealed a hint of surprise. One had to know¡­ Young Master Wu¡¯s father was a big shot in Qing City. If he had a relationship with him, it would definitely be a great thing for him. President Liu saw that Wu Kai was getting closer and closer, so he quickly flattered, ¡°Young Master Wu, you¡­¡± However, before he could finish, Wu Kai said in a very respectful tone, ¡°Mr. Lin, long time no see.¡± Lin Fan had a photographic memory, so he naturally remembered the groom from the wedding banquet. At this moment, Lin Fan was in a bad mood. Wu Kai saw that Lin Fan did not reply. His eyes moved slightly, and his gaze landed on President Liu who was beside him. He had a vague impression of President Liu. After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to remember this man. Wu Kai then remembered that the other party had toasted him when he went to a hotel for dinner once¡­ His surname seemed to be Liu? ¡°Mr. Lin, do you know Mr. Liu?¡± Lin Fan glanced at President Liu and said, ¡°Yeah, I know him¡­He owes Uncle Xue money for a few carts of meat. He even threatened to teach me a lesson!¡± Initially, Wu Kai thought that Lin Fan and President Liu were close. He could use this to build a connection and get closer to Lin Fan. However, what was the situation now? This Liu guy actually dared to owe Lin Fan¡¯s uncle money and even threatened him?! Threatening a major shareholder of Qing Kun Group? Threatening the major shareholder of Xiao Wu Wholesale City? Threatening the owner of the Imperial Hotel? He¡­ How dare he?! More importantly, his words just now actually showed that he seemed to be somewhat familiar with this Liu fellow! Thinking of this, Wu Kai¡¯s expression darkened as he shouted sternly, ¡°Liu, you really have guts!¡± President Liu stuttered, ¡°Y-Young Master Wu¡­I¡­¡± Wu Kai saw that he wanted to explain to him instead of apologizing to Lin Fan immediately. A wave of anger rose in his heart. At the same time, in order to cut ties with President Liu as soon as possible, he kicked him to the ground. ¡°F*ck!¡± he shouted. Plop! This kick finally woke President Liu up. ¡°M-Mr. Lin¡­ I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t recognize you¡­ I looked down on others¡­ I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± However, no matter how much President Liu cried and apologized, Lin Fan¡¯s expression remained the same. There was no change at all. Then, President Liu crawled a few steps forward and said, ¡°Old¡­ Old Xue, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m a bastard. I shouldn¡¯t have owed you money for the meat¡­ I¡¯ll send the money to you right away. What¡¯s your account number? I¡¯ll transfer the money to you now.¡± President Liu kept kowtowing, then hugged Xue Baoguo¡¯s pants and wailed. Xue Baoguo had no choice but to take out his bank card. President Liu held the bank card as if he was holding a life buoy. He quickly took out his phone and entered a string of numbers. Holding onto a life buoy. In fact, there was nothing wrong with this! That was because President Liu knew very well how terrifying Wu Kai¡¯s power was. If Wu Kai wanted to push him into a dead end, it would not take much effort at all. As for Mr. Lin, who even Wu Kai had to treat respectfully¡­ What kind of power did he have? Yet he actually threatened him? Just thinking about it made President Liu feel a wave of fear in his heart, and his face turned pale. At this moment, he was filled with regret. Why did he owe the money for the meat? In less than a minute, Xue Baoguo¡¯s phone vibrated. [Notice from Hua Nation Construction Bank: 1,000,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] When Xue Baoguo saw the text message, he was slightly stunned and said, ¡°One¡­ A million? You only owe me 389,200 yuan, Mr. Liu. You gave me too much.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not too much¡­¡± President Liu hurriedly said. Seeing that Xue Baoguo still wanted to say something, Lin Fan said, ¡°Uncle Xue, just take it. He has owed you money for the meat for so long. Take it as interest.¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s interest¡­¡± President Liu added. Xue Baoguo opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. In the end, he did not speak. When President Liu saw this, he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he looked at Lin Fan carefully. Lin Fan said calmly, ¡°I don¡¯t want something like this to happen again. Do you understand?¡± President Liu said excitedly, ¡°I understand, I understand¡­¡± ¡°Get lost,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Yes, yes¡­ Thank you, Mr. Lin. Thank you, Old Xue. Thank you, Young Master Wu.¡± After President Liu finished speaking, he quickly ran into the distance. After he left, the scene became much quieter. ¡°Uncle Xue, how many carts of meat did you send to President Liu?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Are you in the meat business now?¡± Xue Baoguo was still a little confused. However, he still answered, ¡°Yes.¡± At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded not far away. ¡°Mr. Lin!¡± The chairman of Qing Kun, Li Wannian, who was dressed in a suit, called out respectfully. Lin Fan said, ¡°You came at the right time. My Uncle Xue is in the meat business. The hotel, supermarkets, and other businesses in Qing Kun should also need pork and beef, right? In the future, you can source them from my Uncle Xue.¡± Li Wannian did not understand what had just happened. However, since Lin Fan had opened his mouth, there was no problem at all. Li Wannian took the initiative to extend his hand to Xue Baoguo. ¡°Mr. Xue, we¡¯ll have to rely on you in the future.¡± The pork and beef of Qing Kun Group would be provided by him? Xue Baoguo¡¯s mind was in a daze again. However, he still reached out and shook Li Wannian¡¯s hand out of reflex. Lin Fan introduced, ¡°Uncle Xue, this is the chairman of Qing Kun Group, Li Wannian. If you need anything in the future, just look for him.¡± ¡°What?¡± Xue Baoguo widened his eyes in shock. Chapter 353 - 353 Accompany; Acquire a Hotel! 353 Accompany; Acquire a Hotel! Earlier, Xue Baoguo saw that President Liu was trying his best to please Young Master Wu. As for Young Master Wu¡­ When he was treating Lin Fan with the utmost respect, Xue Baoguo was a little puzzled. Now, even the chairman of Qing Kun Group was so polite to Lin Fan. One had to know¡­ Qing Kun Group was the largest company in Qing City, and it had a wide range of businesses, including supermarkets, hotels, daily necessities, real estate, clothing, and so on. In fact, because of Lin Fan¡¯s words, the chairman of Qing Kun Group even shook his hand and let him become the main vendor of the company¡¯s pork and beef? This¡­ This¡­ Was Lin Fan not from an ordinary family? Lin Fan¡¯s learning ability was very strong, but he only graduated less than two years ago, right? This¡­ How could Young Master Wu and the chairman of Qing Kun Group treat him like this? This¡­ What was going on? Could it be that he had not woken up yet? Naturally, Lin Fan did not know what Xue Baoguo was thinking. He was already attracted by a sentence that suddenly sounded in his mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve completed a hidden mission¡ªa drop of water will be repaid with a spring. You have received one golden packet.] ¡®A drop of water will be repaid with a spring?¡¯ Was this¡­ Was it about helping Uncle Xue? One golden packet? This was a pleasant surprise. In reality, Lin Fan was not wrong. This was indeed the reward for helping Xue Baoguo. Now, Lin Fan had first cured Xue Baoguo. Then, he helped him get one million yuan. Finally, he also got him to be Qing Kun Group¡¯s pork and beef supplier¡­ If this was not repaying a drop of water with a spring, then what was? At this moment, Li Wannian said, ¡°It¡¯s almost time for dinner. Qing Kun Hotel is just ahead. Mr. Lin, Mr. Xue¡­ and Lil Wu, why don¡¯t we go for a meal together?¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Sure.¡± Wu Kai had always wanted to interact more with Lin Fan. Naturally, he would not disagree. Xue Baoguo, who was still in a daze, followed behind them. When the waiters of Qing Kun Hotel saw Li Wannian, they greeted him respectfully, ¡°Hello, Chairman Li.¡± After a wave of greetings, Lin Fan, Li Wannian, Wu Kai, and Xue Baoguo arrived at a luxurious private room. Immediately after, dishes of delicious food, high-end white wine, and so on were served. Li Wannian personally poured a glass of wine for everyone and then toasted with them. After drinking this glass of wine, the rich spiciness stimulated Xue Baoguo¡¯s throat, making him realize¡­ that all of this was not a dream. It was all true! ¡­ After Lin Fan left Qing Kun Hotel, he went home and stayed with his parents for a while before driving toward Jiangbei. Although he felt that it was fine to stay at home for a few more days, his parents didn¡¯t think so. They felt that school was the most important thing. When the sky gradually darkened, Lin Fan had already returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa. He sat on the soft sofa and played with his phone. When he opened his WeChat Moments, he saw that Chu Yunyue had just forwarded a company article. Instantly, Lin Fan could not help but recall Chu Yunyue¡¯s pretty and serious face. Hence, he opened her chat box and sent her a message. Lin Fan: [You haven¡¯t slept yet?] Chu Yunyue seemed to be using her phone. She replied almost instantly. Chu Yunyue: [Yeah, I¡¯ve been working overtime to process the information for the International Perfume Exhibition in Eagle Country. I¡¯ve only just returned home.] Lin Fan could almost imagine Chu Yunyue¡¯s tired face. Hence, he sent out a message. Lin Fan: [You can hand it over to your subordinates. You don¡¯t have to tire yourself out.] Chu Yunyue replied: [I¡¯ve already passed on many things. But this exhibition is very important. I have to go and be there personally. So, I have to prepare some things myself.] Lin Fan: [You¡¯re going to Eagle Country personally? When?] Chu Yunyue replied: [The exhibition is on Thursday. I¡¯m going there tomorrow.] Lin Fan said: [Then I¡¯ll go with you.] Chu Yunyue: [Really?] Lin Fan replied: [Of course. Have a good rest tonight. I¡¯ll pick you up tomorrow morning.] Chu Yunyue replied: [Okay!] The reason why Lin Fan decided to go to Eagle Country with Chu Yunyue was that he was worried. Firstly, it had been a long time since he last accompanied her. Secondly, he had never left the country. Taking this opportunity to go overseas to take a look seemed like a good idea. After ending his conversation with Chu Yunyue, Lin Fan focused his attention on¡­ the golden packet that he received today. ¡°One golden packet. Let¡¯s see what I can get,¡± Lin Fan muttered to himself. ¡°Open!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received Sun Simiao¡¯s Medical Experience.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan was stunned. Sun Simiao? Was he not the famous godly doctor and king pharmacist in history? His experience? Just as Lin Fan was in a daze, in his mind¡­Suddenly, countless complex and profound medical knowledge emerged. After a while, Lin Fan opened his eyes and muttered, ¡°I already have such superb medical skills?¡± That night, Lin Fan was sleeping soundly. When Lin Fan opened his eyes, the sky was already bright. He looked at his phone and saw a message. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,589,020 yuan was deposited into your account.] ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Royal Hotel in Eagle Country.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s face revealed a strange expression. He was just about to head to Eagle Country and he obtained a hotel in Eagle Country? ¡°Lil White, do you know about Royal Hotel in Eagle Country?¡± asked Lin Fan. ¡°The Royal Hotel in Eagle Country was built in 2002. It took eight years to build and cost three billion Eagle Dollars. Due to its tall and luxurious appearance, it became one of the iconic buildings of Eagle Country,¡± Lil White said in a very clear voice. When Lin Fan heard this, the weird expression on his face grew even more intense. This hotel was actually in Eagle Country. Was this not too much of a coincidence? At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown number from overseas. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been shocked to see an unfamiliar foreign phone call. Their first reaction was to hang up. However, Lin Fan had already received many foreign calls. Therefore, he did not hang up. Instead, he pressed the answer button. ¡°Hello, is this Mr. Lin?¡± A very gentle and respectful voice came from the phone. Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s me. You are?¡± ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. I¡¯m Jack Smith, the chairman of Eagle Country¡¯s Royal Hotel. I hope I didn¡¯t disturb your rest?¡± The voice on the phone became more respectful. Lin Fan said, ¡°No, I¡¯m already up.¡± Jack Smith heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°That¡¯s really great¡­¡± Chapter 354 - 354 Hello, Mr. Lin; Boarding! 354 Hello, Mr. Lin; Boarding! Not long ago, Jack Smith suddenly learned that Eagle Country¡¯s Royal Hotel had changed owners. Moreover, it was a new boss from Hua Nation. This made Jack Smith unable to sleep. Therefore, when it was 9:30 AM in Hua Nation and 3:00 AM in Eagle Country, Jack Smith could not help but make a call. He wanted to talk to his new boss as soon as possible and build a relationship with him. Otherwise¡­ He had worked hard for so many years to become the chairman of Eagle Country¡¯s Royal Hotel. Perhaps it would not be long before everything was ruined. ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m going to report to you about the hotel¡¯s situation in the first half of the year, as well as the plans for the next year. Are you free?¡± Jack Smith asked. Lin Fan said, ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll be flying to Eagle Country today.¡± When Jack Smith heard this, his figure turned solemn, and he hurriedly said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get ready to pick you up!¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Oh right, aren¡¯t you from Eagle Country? Why do you speak Hua Nation¡¯s language so fluently?¡± Jack Smith said, ¡°Because there are many tourists from all over the world who come to our hotel. I used to receive tourists from all over the world, so I learned the languages of many countries.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Not bad.¡± Although it was just a simple word of praise, to Jack Smith, it sounded like a beautiful symphony. It was so pleasant that his entire face was filled with smiles. After breakfast, Lin Fan took his ID card, passport, and other documents before driving the Cullinan. Not long after, he pressed a doorbell. The door slowly opened. Chu Yunyue¡¯s beautiful face appeared in front of him. The two of them had not seen each other for a while. Now that they met, there was no need to say anything. They were like magnets that directly embracing embraced each other. The sun continued to rise, and the trees swayed gently¡­ About three hours later, Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue both changed into a new set of clothes and walked out of the room. ¡°I¡¯m on my way¡­¡± Chu Yunyue said a few simple words and hung up. Then, she looked at the Culinan¡¯s interior curiously and said, ¡°As expected of a Culinan. Be it material, comfort, or power, they¡¯re all top-notch¡­ ¡°The space in the back row is also very large. It won¡¯t be a problem to lie down and sleep.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Really? Why don¡¯t you sleep here next time?¡± Chu Yunyue seemed to have thought of something, and her face turned red. They chatted while driving and soon arrived at the airport. In the distance, an oval-faced woman in a dress kept waving and calling out, ¡°Director Chu, Mr. Lin, we¡¯re here!¡± Chu Yunyue and Lin Fan walked forward together. ¡°Hello, Chairwoman Chu, Mr. Lin.¡± Obviously, these people were all Flower Stem¡¯s employees. When Chu Yunyue was alone with Lin Fan, she was like a little girl who did not know anything. However, in front of the company¡¯s employees, she was like a cold CEO, extremely strict and imposing. The oval-faced woman asked, ¡°Chairwoman Chu, may I know which plane we¡¯re taking to Eagle Country?¡± Yesterday, she was about to book a plane ticket when she suddenly received a call from Chu Yunyue. She said that the plane tickets were ready and they could go straight to the airport tomorrow. However, Chu Yunyue did not say which flight it was. Chu Yunyue did not answer her. Instead, she looked at Lin Fan. It was because she did not know which flight it was either. Yesterday, Lin Fan only told her that he had arranged the plane. Lin Fan said, ¡°The plane should be in front. Let¡¯s go.¡± Everyone did not ask much and followed Lin Fan. When they arrived in front of Xia Airlines¡¯ shuttle, three beautiful air stewardesses bowed in unison and said, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± The air stewardess standing at the front smiled and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, do you want to board the plane now or rest in the VIP lounge first?¡± ¡°Yunyue, do you want to rest and eat something first?¡± Lin Fan asked. Chu Yunyue shook her head. ¡°Let¡¯s just go straight to the plane. There should be food on the plane.¡± Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go to the plane.¡± Thus, three air stewardesses led Lin Fan and the others to check their passports and identity documents. Then, they strolled through the passage and took a Mercedes-Benz bus straight to the airplane. Seeing this¡­ A few people could not help but discuss in low voices. ¡°Did you notice? I don¡¯t think we collected or checked our flight tickets, right?¡± ¡°Huh, it seems so!¡± ¡°Then how did we get in?¡± ¡°The shuttle bus at the airport in the past was just an ordinary one, right? How did it switch to a Benz today?¡± Amidst the crowd¡¯s discussion, the Mercedes-Benz bus stopped steadily in front of a luxury passenger plane. Lin Fan and the others had just gotten off the Mercedes-Benz bus¡­ A group of tall, beautiful air stewardesses with exquisite facial features who scored above 85 points in appearance stood in two rows. They bowed at the same time. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± This scene¡­ The staff of Flower Stem, as well as Chu Yunyue, were stunned. Such a scene¡­ Let alone in reality, they had never seen it before even in TV shows. Following that, everyone could not help but look at Lin Fan. Lin Fan rubbed his nose and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s get on the plane.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he held Chu Yunyue¡¯s slender hand and walked past the two rows of beautiful air stewardesses. At this moment¡­ Chu Yunyue suddenly had a strange feeling. It was as if¡­ she was wearing a snow-white wedding dress. Under the witness of her relatives and friends, she was holding hands with Lin Fan as they walked onto the stage. Chu Yunyue, who had always been calm and collected, blushed when she thought of this. Lin Fan asked, ¡°You seem to be sweating. Are you feeling hot?¡± Chu Yunyue stammered, ¡°Yes¡­ That¡¯s right. Lin Fan said, ¡°Then let¡¯s go quickly. It¡¯ll be fine once we get on the plane.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Chu Yunyue nodded vigorously. When everyone got on the plane, they saw that there was no one inside, and it seemed very spacious. As soon as everyone sat down, the beautiful air stewardesses who were standing in two rows earlier walked over. The air stewardess at the front smiled and asked, ¡°Mr. Lin, are all the guests here?¡± Lin Fan did not reply. Instead, he looked at Chu Yunyue. Chu Yunyue looked at the people on the plane and said, ¡°They¡¯re all here.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll ask the captain to contact the control tower and prepare to head to Lun City, Eagle Country.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright,¡± the air stewardess said. Chapter 355 - 355 Surprised; Bragging! 355 Surprised; Bragging! Rumble! As the luxury plane trembled, it suddenly shot up into the sky. After a while, they passed through layers of clouds and arrived in the blue sky. After the plane stabilized, a beautiful air stewardess pushed a small dining table and walked over with a smile on her face. ¡°What¡¯s there to eat?¡± the oval-faced woman asked. ¡°Australian lobster, bread crab, top-grade Wagyu beef, natural vegetables, top-grade abalone¡­¡± the beautiful air stewardess said. The oval-faced woman was a little stunned when she heard the names of the dishes. After a while, the oval-faced woman said, ¡°Then¡­ Then I¡¯ll have a serving of lobster and beef¡­¡± She did not dare to say that it was Australian lobster or top-grade Wagyu beef. It was because she felt that she might have been hearing things. If she mentioned Australian lobster and top-grade Wagyu, she might end up making a joke of herself. ¡°Alright,¡± the beautiful air stewardess said with a smile. As she spoke, she placed the Australian lobster that reached the length of one¡¯s elbow and the top-grade Wagyu beef that was as white as snowflakes in front of the oval-faced woman. Seeing this¡­ The oval-faced woman was completely stunned. It was true! This was really Australian lobster and top-grade Wagyu beef! She did not hear wrongly just now! However, what was going on? At this moment, the beautiful air stewardess asked again, ¡°Do you need anything to drink? ¡°We have 2003 Lafite, Flying Maotai, Louis 13, Hennessy, natural fruit juice, high-end coffee, high-protein milk, high-end yogurt, and so on.¡± The oval-faced woman said, ¡°I¡­ I want red wine.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± said the beautiful air stewardess. Then, she handed it to the oval-faced woman. Lafite! It really was Lafite! The oval-faced woman was stunned again. In fact¡­ She was not the only one who was stunned. The other employees of Flower Stem who were also on the plane were stunned too. They could be said to be the middle and upper management of the company. Perhaps some of them had never been abroad. However, they had all taken a plane before! Usually, there would be some food prepared on the plane. However, most only served items like bread, beef brisket, shredded potatoes, and other very cheap food. Now, the food in front of them¡­ Not to mention the food, just this glass of 2003 Lafite would probably cost hundreds or thousands of yuan, right? This meal would probably be more expensive than the plane ticket, right? Was the airline company earning that much money? At this moment, someone suddenly said, ¡°It seems that there are only us on the plane. There are no other passengers.¡± When everyone heard this, they looked around and realized that there was really no one else. They could not help but look at each other. Lin Fan turned around and asked, ¡°What are you guys doing? Eat up.¡± The oval-faced woman opened her mouth. She could not help but voice the doubts in her heart. ¡°M-Mr. Lin, did you book this plane?¡± ¡°No, I didn¡¯t,¡± Lin Fan replied. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Lin Fan continued, ¡°I¡¯m a major shareholder of Xia Airlines. I don¡¯t need to book chartered flights.¡± Silence. The entire plane was silent. The oval-faced woman, the employees of Flower Stem, and even Chu Yunyue were stunned. One had to know that Xia Airlines was the largest private airline company in Hua Nation! Lin Fan¡­ was actually a major shareholder? No wonder those beautiful stewardesses were so respectful to Lin Fan and served him so well¡­ If that was the case, everything made sense. ¡°When did you invest in Xia Airlines?¡± asked Chu Yunyue.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s been a while.¡± He did not explain much about when and how much money he had spent. This was because he had received everything from the system¡¯s red packets. It was not easy to explain. ¡­ Another plane was heading toward Eagle Country. It was not as luxurious as Lin Fan¡¯s plane. The plane was full of people. The air was filled with the stench of body odor, foot odor, and other unpleasant smells. For lunch, they had fries, burgers, tomato beef brisket rice, and other cheap food. A round-faced Caucasian man named Jonah Roger swallowed the last bite of his burger and wiped the oil off his face. He praised, ¡°We¡¯re finally reaching Eagle Country!¡± Beside him, Li Li, who was wearing heavy makeup, had a look of excitement on her face. Jonah Roger¡¯s eyes turned slightly, and he said, ¡°Li Li, the streets of Hua Nation are filled with rubbish and all kinds of dirty things. When you get off the plane, you¡¯ll understand what it means to be an international metropolis. The streets are spotless, and the buildings are extremely beautiful¡­ ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to stay in Eagle Country¡¯s Royal Hotel? It just so happens that my family used to do business with Royal Hotel. My father is also good friends with the owner of the Royal Hotel! ¡°I¡¯ve already told my dad about our arrival. He¡¯ll arrange for people from Royal Hotel to come and pick us up.¡± When Jonah Roger said this, he could not help but raise his neck, looking like a high and mighty yet mysterious young master. In reality? He lied about his family having done business with Eagle Country¡¯s Royal Hotel. He also lied about his father and the owner of the Royal Hotel being good friends. He did not have a prominent family background, and his father was only familiar with an ordinary manager of the Royal Hotel. Jonah Roger had indeed told his father about their arrival¡­ He also said that they were going to stay at the Royal Hotel. In this way, he could get a little discount from that supervisor. As for picking them up¡­ That was normal because the Royal Hotel had a pick-up service. Jonah Roger secretly glanced at Li Li¡¯s exquisite figure. He believed that after saying all this, Li Li would definitely worship him. When he brought her to the Royal Hotel, he would definitely be able to get her. It had to be said that Jonah Roger had a good grasp of Li Li¡¯s psychology. Li Li was very interested in foreigners. At this moment, she heard from Jonah that his family was able to do business with the Royal Hotel. Jonah Roger¡¯s father was a good friend of the owner of the Royal Hotel! In Li Li¡¯s heart, she was already imagining Jonah Roger¡¯s huge family power¡­ Gradually, Jonah seemed to occupy more of her heart, causing her to be in a daze. Her face, which was covered in foundation, also began to reveal a hint of redness. Perhaps she would have a chance to join a foreign wealthy family! Rumble! At this moment, the passenger plane shook violently. At the same time, a brisk voice sounded from the plane¡¯s broadcast. ¡°Dear passengers, there¡¯s strong turbulence ahead. Please don¡¯t panic and fasten your seatbelts¡­¡± The plane shook for about five minutes before it finally calmed down. After the plane continued on for two hours, an announcement sounded again. ¡°Dear passengers, the plane is about to land in Lun City, Eagle Country. It¡¯s now 2:10 pm in Lun City, and the temperature is 23 degrees¡­ Please remain seated and fasten your seatbelts. The plane is about to land.¡± Chapter 356 - 356 The Son of the Boss Good Friend; Liar! 356 The Son of the Boss¡¯ Good Friend; Liar! Rumble! After a series of decelerations and bumps, the plane finally stopped. The moment Li Li got off the plane, she took a deep breath and praised, ¡°As expected of Eagle Country. The air is so fresh and sweet!¡± Then, she looked into the distance and took out her phone to post a message on social media. [How big of an influence does the environment have on a person? I¡¯m in Lun City, and I¡¯ve just gotten off the plane. [The buildings in Lun City have a strong European and American style and a sense of history. Even people from Hua Nation won¡¯t be able to help but set higher standards for themselves, improve their quality, and transform themselves into polite gentlemen and elegant ladies upon coming here¡­ [My foreign friend¡¯s father is friends with the owner of Eagle Country¡¯s Royal Hotel. He has already arranged for the people from the Royal Hotel to come and pick us up.] Li Li¡¯s fingers were flying. In just a minute, she had written a post with more than a hundred words. After putting down her phone, her eyes quickly noticed a prominent banner not far away¡ªWelcome to Lun City, Eagle Country¡¯s Royal Hotel. Around the banner stood many men in suits and women with graceful figures. Several Rolls-Royce cars were parked behind, and there was even a helicopter! Seeing this¡­ ¡°Jonah, are these the people who came to pick us up?¡± Li Li said excitedly. In fact, Jonah Roger had also noticed the banner and the group of people. He was a little puzzled earlier, wondering if this was the group who came to pick him up. This formation seemed a little too big. However, when he saw how excited Li Li was, Jonah Roger puffed out his chest and said, ¡°Of course, they¡¯re here to pick us up! My dad is a good friend of the owner of the Royal Hotel!¡± What he was thinking was that he had spent so much money to stay at Eagle Country¡¯s Royal Hotel. It was normal for them to welcome him with huge fanfare. When Li Li heard this, her face was full of smiles. She followed Jonah Roger to where the banner was. ¡°Are you from the Royal Hotel?¡± Jonah asked. Jack Smith, the chairman of Eagle Country¡¯s Royal Hotel, frowned slightly. General Manager Edward Mullen said, ¡°Yes, we¡¯re from the Royal Hotel. Sir, what can I do for you?¡± Jonah looked up and said, ¡°That¡¯s good. I¡¯ve already booked a room. Oh right, my dad is also good friends with the owner of Eagle Country¡¯s Royal Hotel.¡± He said this without any pressure. It was because Jonah Roger did not believe that such a small matter would be reported to the owner. Originally, Chairman Jack Smith did not want to bother with Jonah Roger at all. However, after hearing this, his heart skipped a beat. He said respectfully, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Jack Smith. May I know your name?¡± Jonah Roger saw that as he had expected, the other party could not tell whether what he said was the truth or not. Moreover, he was so respectful to him. He secretly glanced at Li Li, who was admiring him more and more. He said proudly, ¡°I¡¯m Jonah Roger.¡± Just as Chairman Jack Smith was about to say something, his expression suddenly turned cold and he said seriously, ¡°Everyone, line up and prepare for the welcoming ceremony!¡± As he spoke, he hurriedly went forward. It was because he had seen his boss¡­ Lin Fan! Lin Fan, Chu Yunyue, and the staff of Flower Stem slowly got off the luxury plane under the respectful escort of the beautiful air stewardesses. ¡°Welcome to Lun City, Eagle Country, Mr. Lin!¡± Chairman Jack Smith greeted respectfully. Immediately after, a group of men in suits and women with graceful figures behind him shouted in unison, ¡°Welcome to Lun City, Eagle Country, Mr. Lin!¡± Chu Yunyue and the other employees of the Flower Stem were a little stunned. All of them turned to look at Lin Fan. Lin Fan did not feel too uncomfortable and said, ¡°You must be Jack Smith?¡± Chairman Jack Smith, who was standing at the front, said, ¡°Yes, Mr. Lin. We have already prepared a means of transportation for you. Would you like to go to the Eagle Country¡¯s Royal Hotel to rest for a while?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Mr. Lin, this way please,¡± Jack Smith said respectfully. Lin Fan, Chu Yunyue, and the staff of Flower Stem, surrounded by a large group of foreigners, came to the helicopter. At this moment, Jack Smith seemed to have thought of something and said, ¡°By the way, Mr. Lin, your good friend¡¯s son seems to be here. Do you want to bring him along?¡± Lin Fan was puzzled. ¡°My good friend¡¯s son?¡± He did not have many good friends. Even if one of them had given birth to a son, he had probably just learned how to walk, right? Yet he came to Eagle Country just like that? Jack Smith pointed at the fair-skinned Jonah Roger and said, ¡°Yes, he just arrived.¡± Lin Fan sized up Jonah Roger and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know him.¡± With that, he turned around and walked into the helicopter. Jack Smith was a smart man. At this moment, how could he not understand that this man was simply lying?! After glaring at Jonah Roger, he also boarded the helicopter. Rumble! The helicopter let out a roar as its propellers spun rapidly, forming a small hurricane as it soared into the sky. The Rolls-Royce motorcade parked next to the helicopter was speeding in the same direction. The helicopter in the sky and the Rolls-Royce fleet on the ground were all there to welcome Lin Fan. It was a luxurious sight. The luxury plane was too fast and was above the clouds. There was no way to enjoy the scenery of Lun City. The speed of the helicopter was relatively slow and flew at a low altitude. It was just enough for Lin Fan and the others to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lun City. They looked at the European-style buildings with curiosity on their faces. ¡°That seems to be the Shield Eye!¡± ¡°Is this it? It looks similar to the Ferris wheel in our country.¡± ¡°That¡¯s the Tower Bridge of Lun City!¡± ¡°That¡­ seems okay.¡± ¡°Is that the security tower?¡± ¡°It seems rather ordinary.¡± Everyone commented from time to time. Although the buildings were a little novel, they were not shocking. ¡­ As Lin Fan and the others boarded the helicopter and looked down at Lun City, Li Li and Jonah Roger, who were standing on the ground, were blown by the strong winds from the helicopter. Their clothes and hair rustled, and the dust made them cough. The two of them only recovered after the helicopter took off. ¡°Jonah Roger, didn¡¯t you say that they were here to pick us up?¡± Li Li said. ¡°This¡­¡± Jonah Roger said awkwardly. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that your father and the owner of the Royal Hotel were good friends?¡± Li Li shouted. ¡°This¡­¡± Jonah Roger did not know how to answer. ¡°You liar!¡± Li Li shouted. After saying that, she turned around and left. Chapter 357 - 357 Listen to This; Sign In Overseas! 357 Listen to This; Sign In Overseas! Naturally, Lin Fan and the others did not know about Li Li, Jonah, and Roger. They looked down from the helicopter. About ten minutes later, the helicopter slowly decelerated¡­ In the end, they landed on a tall helipad¡­ This was the Eagle Country¡¯s Royal Hotel! ¡°Tsk!¡± When Lin Fan, Chu Yunyue, and Flower Stem¡¯s employees got off the helicopter, two rows of beautiful Caucasian women with exquisite looks and graceful figures said in unison, ¡°Welcome, Mr. Lin!¡± This scene shocked Chu Yunyue and the staff of Flower Stem. Then, everyone¡¯s luggage was sent to the luxury suites on the top floor by the Caucasian beauties. Lin Fan, Chu Yunyue, and the others were led to the VIP room by Chairman Jack Smith. At this moment, the table in the VIP room was already filled with top-grade foie gras, cheese snails, top-grade steak, white truffle bagels, gold foil sundaes, caviar chocolate pudding, and many other delicacies. When Flower Stem¡¯s employees saw this, they could not take their eyes off. In fact, they were not the only ones who were attracted. Even Chu Yunyue was attracted. Lin Fan said, ¡°Everyone has been on the plane for so long. You must be hungry and tired, right? Hurry up and eat.¡± Generally speaking, one would get hungry and tired when they took a plane. However, this time, they had taken a luxurious private plane. The plane had the best food and the best service. How could they be hungry or tired? However, at this moment, when they saw the exquisite food, they could not help but pick up their cutlery and eat slowly. Very soon, their stomachs became a little round, and they could not eat any more of the delicious food. Chu Yunyue wiped her mouth with a napkin and could not help but ask, ¡°Lin Fan, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re also a major shareholder of this hotel?¡± Flower Stem¡¯s employees pricked up their ears. Obviously, they had the same suspicion. This was normal. Lin Fan shook his head. ¡°That¡¯s not it.¡± When everyone heard this, they all heaved a sigh of relief. ¡®It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s alright¡­ He isn¡¯t a major shareholder of Eagle Country¡¯s Royal Hotel.¡¯ They had just secretly searched the internet. The Royal Hotel was a landmark building in Lun City. It was one of the most luxurious hotels in Lun City, and it cost more than billions of dollars to build! Their little hearts would not be able to withstand the torment. At this moment, Lin Fan continued, ¡°I¡¯m the owner of this hotel.¡± Silence! The entire room was silent! The oval-faced woman, the other employees of Flower Stem, and Chu Yunyue were all stunned. He was not the major shareholder, but the boss! In the past, many of Flower Stem¡¯s employees felt that Lin Fan had just provided them with some perfume recipes and beauty essence technology yet he became the biggest shareholder of Flower Pedestal. He was simply too lucky. They guessed that Lin Fan would probably be so happy that he would not be able to sleep every day. Now it seemed like¡­ Lin Fan probably did not care about the shares at all. Lin Fan did not care about the stunned crowd and asked, ¡°Yunyue, are you full? Do you want to rest in the room?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not that tired yet,¡± said Chu Yunyue. ¡°I¡¯ll go to the booth first.¡± She was not a person who liked to relax and hated to work. In fact, she could be said to be a strong woman and a workaholic. Otherwise, she would not have been able to establish the famous Flower Stem in Hua Nation by herself. Lin Fan said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Then, the two of them walked out side by side. A Rolls-Royce was already waiting at the entrance. This was specially arranged by Chairman Jack Smith so that Lin Fan could travel around Eagle Country. The driver was a Caucasian who was proficient in Hua Nation¡¯s language and English. It was effortless for him to communicate. At the same time, he also had good driving skills. Lin Fan was very satisfied with this. Soon, they arrived at the International Exhibition Center. There was a huge LED display screen in front of the door, which was playing promotional videos of different brands of perfume. Obviously, this was the venue for the upcoming International Perfume Exhibition. As it was not the time for the official exhibition yet, there were still some things that were not ready. Ordinary people were not allowed to enter and exit as they pleased. However, as one of the participating companies, Chu Yunyue, the president of Flower Stem, was naturally not an ordinary person. When Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue walked into the exhibition center, they were greeted by a strong fragrance. Obviously, many companies had already brought their own perfumes in. The two of them looked into the distance and saw various booths. After a while, they finally saw Flower Stem¡¯s booth. Different from the previous booth in Jiangbei City, Flower Stem¡¯s booth this time had a younger, more energetic, and modern feel. Two men and women in Flower Stem uniforms were adjusting and modifying some small parts of the booth. They were very serious. As a result, they did not even see Chu Yunyue and Lin Fan¡¯s arrival. When a man turned around and was about to adjust the other positions of the booth, he shouted in surprise, ¡°Chairwoman Chu, Mr. Lin!¡± When the others heard this, they all stopped what they were doing. They turned around and greeted respectfully, ¡°Chairwoman Chu, Mr. Lin.¡± Chu Yunyue nodded, ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard. The booth is very well done!¡± When the four of them heard this, their faces revealed a hint of joy. ¡°Thank you for your compliment, Chairwoman Chu.¡± ¡°This is what we should do.¡± ¡­ Then, Chu Yunyue gave a detailed exchange and reminder about certain places and things to pay attention to during the exhibition. When Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue left the exhibition center, it was already two hours later. At this moment, the sky had already darkened. After flying for a day, they went to the exhibition center to check on the booth. All of this made Chu Yunyue very tired. However, Chu Yunyue knew she would not be able to fall asleep anyway. As long as she was on a business trip, no matter how tired she was, she could not fall asleep. There were some people who were instinctively wary of unfamiliar environments and would struggle to fall asleep. However, Chu Yunyue quickly fell asleep today. It was because she had Lin Fan by her side. ¡­ The next day, the sky was bright. Lin Fan opened his eyes slowly. There was no one around him. He habitually picked up his phone. A text message appeared on the screen as usual. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,891,030 yuan was deposited into your account.] As he had walked more yesterday, his income was higher than usual. Of course, Lin Fan did not care about this little bit of money. Then, he turned his attention to the sign-in system. He muttered in his heart, ¡®This is my first time signing in abroad. Let¡¯s see what I can get.¡¯ ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 10% of Eagle Country Oil Company¡¯s shares.] Chapter 358 - 358 An Encounter 358 An Encounter Eagle Country Oil Company? Lin Fan did not know much about Eagle Country¡¯s companies. ¡°Lil White, help me check the information on Eagle Country Oil Company.¡± The super smart watch on Lin Fan¡¯s wrist flashed slightly before emitting a crisp and pleasant sound. ¡°Eagle Country Oil Company is one of the top three companies in Eagle Country and one of the top 100 companies in the world. Its current market value is 1.05 trillion yuan. Chairman Jules Grant, the largest shareholder, holds 14.1% of the shares, and the owner holds 10% of the shares. You¡¯re the second biggest shareholder¡­¡± When Lin Fan heard this, he could not help but rub his nose. The top three companies in Eagle Country? Its current market value was 1.05 trillion. He had 10% of the shares, which meant that he had earned 100 billion today? Not bad! Then, Lin Fan slowly climbed up from the bed. When he came to the living room of the suite, he saw Chu Yunyue working hard in front of the computer. At this moment, a crisp bell rang outside. Chu Yunyue could not help but slowly raise her head. She was about to get up and open the door. ¡°Let me do it,¡± said Lin Fan. As he spoke, he directly opened the door. Two attendants were pushing a cart in the corridor. They smiled and said, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. This is your breakfast.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Alright, please bring it in.¡± Then, a very exquisite breakfast was placed on the dining table. After the attendants left, Chu Yunyue asked, ¡°When did you get up?¡± ¡°It¡¯s only been a while,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°This breakfast looks pretty good. Come and try it.¡± Just as Lin Fan had said, the breakfast was indeed not bad. White truffle meat slices, ham, beans, and high-end bread¡­ The high-end ingredients and superb cooking techniques made the taste of the food explode in their mouths. Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue were very satisfied. Lin Fan picked up the black tea and asked, ¡°Yunyue, do you want to try some imported black tea?¡± Chu Yunyue was a little confused. Imported black tea? However, she still replied, ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Fan took a sip first and then leaned toward Chu Yunyue. Gulp! ¡­ In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. Chu Yunyue changed her clothes and returned to the living room to continue working. It could not be helped. The International Perfume Exhibition was going to be held tomorrow. She had to prepare everything. Lin Fan did not want to disturb Chu Yunyue¡¯s work. At the same time, this was his first time going abroad. Therefore, he chose to go out for a walk. He walked on the straight sidewalk that was surrounded by houses made of steel and cement. If it was not for the people of different skin tones passing by, Lin Fan would have thought that he was in a particular city within the country. Of course, there were still differences between Eagle Country and Hua Nation. Most of the people in Hua Nation worked hard and were very diligent. Therefore, even if they were walking on the streets, they looked like they were in a hurry. As for the people in Eagle Country, everyone seemed to be very free. In a dark alley, someone was holding a bottle of wine and swaying, almost falling to the ground. Another person was playing the violin and singing on the street. He also saw someone who was lying down casually¡­ Lin Fan walked and looked around leisurely. At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated slightly. 12:00 PM! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 188 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a Ferrari 812.] ¡­ Lin Fan kept clicking on the red packets and got a total of 45,211 yuan and a Ferrari 812. Lin Fan was quite familiar with this car. In order to complete a past mission, he had specially bought one. Lin Fan¡¯s cars were endless. Therefore, the Ferrari 812 was left in the Coiling Dragon Villa. Now that he had come to Eagle Country, he did not have a single car. It was good that he had obtained one. Lin Fan looked around, trying to find the Ferrari 812. ¡­ Not far away, a fair-skinned middle-aged woman whispered, ¡°Our son has always said that he wants a sports car. What should we do? With our family¡¯s situation, we can¡¯t afford a sports car at all.¡± The fair-skinned middle-aged man said casually, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m already prepared. Isn¡¯t today our son¡¯s birthday? I bought him a fridge so that he can calm down!¡± At this moment, a delivery car drove over from afar and stopped steadily in front of them. ¡°Are you Mr. Lauren?¡± the courier asked. ¡°It¡¯s me,¡± the middle-aged man replied. ¡°Your express delivery has arrived,¡± the courier said. As he spoke, he slowly took out a box that was half the height of a person from the back. ¡°See that?¡± The middle-aged man laughed. ¡°It¡¯s already here.¡± As soon as the delivery car left, a young man with golden hair walked over. In the next moment, he could not take his eyes off something. He had found a brand-new supercar parked by the roadside. It was his favorite open-top supercar, the Ferrari 812! The middle-aged man smiled and said, ¡°Son, I¡¯ve prepared a birthday present for you! Do you like it?¡± Birthday present? Was it this Ferrari 812? That was right! This must be the case! The young man said excitedly, ¡°I like it, I like it so much! Daddy, I knew you loved me!¡± Then, without waiting for the middle-aged man¡¯s reply, he impatiently came to the front of the Ferrari 812 and gently stroked the body of the car. He touched the soft interior¡­ His slightly freckled face was overcome with delight. At this moment, a tall young woman walked over and asked in surprise, ¡°Is this your car?¡± ¡°Yes, it is! My father prepared this as a birthday present for me!¡± the young man said. ¡°That¡¯s great! Didn¡¯t you want me to be your girlfriend? I agree!¡± the young woman said. ¡°Good! Hahaha!¡± The young man shouted happily and then hugged the young woman in his arms. While they were hugging, they did not notice a Hua Nation man coming to the front of the Ferrari 812. He slowly opened the door and got in. This person¡­ was Lin Fan. Lin Fan naturally did not care about the two people hugging each other. He stepped on the accelerator and sped away. The young man seemed to have heard the sound as well. He hurriedly let go of the young woman and shouted with his eyes wide open, ¡°Hey! My car! My car!¡± He shouted as he chased. However, how could his two legs catch up to the four wheels of a supercar? The young man had no choice but to return and call out, ¡°Dad, call the police! The Ferrari 812 you gave me was stolen!¡± The middle-aged man opened his mouth and said, ¡°That¡¯s not my birthday present to you. The real birthday present is actually this refrigerator.¡± ¡°What?¡± The young man¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°So, you don¡¯t have a sports car. Then I¡¯m not your girlfriend.¡± Chapter 359 - 359 The Exhibition Begins; Method! 359 The Exhibition Begins; Method! Lin Fan had no idea about the misunderstanding between the young man and his father. He drove the Ferrari 812 through the streets of Lun City. Some people said that only those in Hua Nation who had not seen the world would be attracted by sports cars. If it was overseas, a sports car would just be an ordinary means of transportation. No one would even take a second look at it. In reality? Lin Fan was driving the Ferrari 812 on the streets of Lun City. Wherever he went, he would attract the attention of many people. Just like that, Lin Fan went on a short one-day tour of the city. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived. Today, Chu Yunyue was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a pair of black high heels. She looked very capable. Under the escort of the Royal Hotel¡¯s private car, Chu Yunyue, Lin Fan, the oval-faced woman, and the staff of Flower Stem arrived at the exhibition center very quickly. The exhibition center was very lively today. Even at the door, one could easily smell the fragrance that assailed one¡¯s nostrils, mesmerizing one. It seemed like it was also because of this that it attracted an endless stream of people that kept surging in. Many people with different skin colors came to the booths. They either tried out the perfumes, asked about them, or bought them. Except for Flower Stem. The sky gradually darkened, but no one came to Flower Stem¡¯s booth. Chu Yunyue and the employees could not help but feel anxious. Flower Stem was very popular in Hua Nation. However, it was not famous overseas. Therefore, they knew that they would not receive much attention. Chu Yunyue and the others were mentally prepared. However, the current situation was far beyond what they had expected. ¡°My name is Chu Yunyue,¡± replied Chu Yunyue politely. Brewer¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard that. He praised, ¡°Your voice is very pleasant. Also, based on your name, you should be from Hua Nation.¡± Although Brewer had a plan in his mind, his expression did not change. He continued, ¡°I saw that no one has been visiting your booth. How about it? Do you want to have a drink or two tonight? I¡¯ll tell you some methods.¡± Brewer was a staff member of GR Perfume which had a booth diagonally opposite Flower Stem¡¯s booth. Ever since Chu Yunyue arrived at the booth, Brewer was immediately attracted to her. Chu Yunyue had the same voluptuous figure as the top beauties of Eagle Country. At the same time, she had exquisite facial features that far surpassed the top beauties of Eagle Country. In addition, she had a unique exotic temperament. In Brewer¡¯s eyes, Chu Yunyue was the most perfect woman in the world. Therefore, whenever he had the time, he would sneak a peek at Chu Yunyue. When today¡¯s exhibition was about to end, he could not wait to walk over. Brewer knew that many people from Hua Nation liked foreigners very much. Now, he had proposed a way to increase the number of customers at the booth. He believed that Chu Yunyue would definitely agree to his request. As long as they drank together, he would have a chance! Brewer was already cheering in his heart. However¡­ ¡°That¡¯s alright,¡± said Chu Yunyue. Chu Yunyue was not a fool considering how she was able to establish such a huge company. She could tell what Brewer was thinking at a glance. Then, Chu Yunyue ignored Brewer and said, ¡°Today¡¯s exhibition is about to end. Everyone, pack your things and get ready to go back and rest.¡± Then, she held onto Lin Fan¡¯s arm and walked out together. Seeing this¡­ Brewer¡¯s body stiffened slightly, and his face turned ugly. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the third day. Although Flower Stem could be said to have suffered a huge setback, Chu Yunyue, the oval-faced woman, and the staff of Flower Stem were still in high spirits. They were looking forward to the day being different. However, sometimes things went against one¡¯s wishes. The entire morning had passed, but no one was interested in Flower Stem. Brewer took advantage of the lunch break to come to Chu Yunyue again. He said, ¡°Beautiful Ms. Chu, do you really not want more customers at your booth? ¡°By the way, I forgot to tell you that my uncle is Alan Peter, the director of Eagle Country Oil Company. I think¡­ you should understand that I have the ability to make your booth have more customers, right? ¡°Why don¡¯t we have lunch together and discuss it properly?¡± Brewer noticed that Chu Yunyue already had a boyfriend yesterday. However, this meant nothing to him. Not to mention having a boyfriend, even if she was already married¡­ there was no problem with that. After Brewer finished speaking, he puffed out his chest and made a gesture that he thought was handsome. He thought that Chu Yunyue would be immediately convinced by his charm after seeing his handsome appearance and hearing that he had an uncle who was the director of Eagle Country Oil Company. However¡­ The result was different from what he had expected. ¡°My boyfriend and I are going out for dinner. Don¡¯t block the way!¡± Chu Yunyue said. She was an entrepreneur, but at the same time, she could also be considered a businesswoman. A businessperson would not easily make enemies with others. Therefore, even if they hated someone, they had to be tactful and polite on the surface. As for Chu Yunyue¡­ She did not have any intention of being tactful to Brewer, who was suspected to have a powerful background. After saying that, Chu Yunyue held Lin Fan¡¯s arm again and walked out. Seeing this, Brewer¡¯s mouth twitched slightly, and his expression became a little ugly. Lin Fan had a weird expression on his face as he looked at Brewer. His uncle was the director of Eagle Country Oil Company? Interesting. Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue had just finished their lunch. When they returned to the exhibition center, the phone in his pocket rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown number. Lin Fan did not hesitate and answered the call. Very quickly, a somewhat dull and awkward-sounding sentence spoken in the Hua Nation language rang out from the other end. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Hello, may I know who you are?¡± Then, the earlier voice was replaced by a very clear and pleasant voice. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. I¡¯m the interpreter for the chairman of Eagle Country Oil Company, Jules Grant. The person who just spoke to you is the chairman, Mr. Jules Grant. He asked me to convey his regards to you again.¡± Chapter 360 - 360 The Queens Decision; Arrival! 360 The Queen¡¯s Decision; Arrival! Lin Fan had received similar calls several times. Thus¡­ This time, he was not too surprised. He said indifferently, ¡°Please say my hello to Mr. Jules Grant.¡± Then, fluent English sounded on the phone. Even though Lin Fan could clearly understand, he did not point it out. ¡°Mr. Jules Grant said that he would like to thank you for your trust in Eagle Country Oil Company and for becoming the second largest shareholder of the company¡­¡± Generally speaking, the interpreter¡¯s tone should always be consistent. However, when she said this, there was an obvious change. One had to know¡­ Eagle Country Oil Company¡­ was a super company with a market value of more than a trillion yuan. The man she was speaking to on the other end of the line had actually become the second-largest shareholder! He was definitely a big shot who could hold the heavens in his hands! ¡°Mr. Lin, may I know where you are now? Is it convenient for us to meet?¡± the interpreter continued after a pause. Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯m in Eagle Country now. As for the meeting¡­ I¡¯m at the exhibition center in Lun City to participate in the International Perfume Exhibition. I¡¯m afraid I don¡¯t have much time for the time being.¡± There was no sound from the other line. Obviously, Lin Fan¡¯s answer surprised Jules Grant. After a while, the interpreter said, ¡°So, you¡¯re in Lun City. That¡¯s great! Mr. Jules Grant will definitely pay a visit personally later.¡± Lin Fan chatted for a while more before hanging up. Just as the interpreter had said, Jules Grant was indeed going to pay a visit. However, just as he got in the car, the phone in his pocket rang. He looked at the caller ID, and his expression became slightly solemn. He quickly picked up the phone and said respectfully, ¡°Greetings, Your Majesty.¡± Your Majesty? Jules Grant called out softly, but there was no response from the other side of the phone. ¡°Huh? Did I accidentally make a call? Lil Jules, hello!¡± Lil Grant? One had to know that Jules Grant was already 61 years old! In addition¡­ as the chairman of Eagle Country Oil Company, how many people in this world could call him Lil Jules? Queen Ibai was obviously among them! That was because she was the queen of Eagle Country, and she was 91 years old! ¡°Greetings, Queen Ibai,¡± Jules Grant said hurriedly. ¡°Your oil company¡­ How¡¯s the situation recently?¡± Queen Ibai asked. ¡°Recently, the development has been stable and the overall situation is good,¡± Jules Grant said. Queen Ibai nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s not bad¡­ Today is a workday. Are you still busy at the company?¡± ¡°I¡¯m on my way to the exhibition center,¡± Jules Grant answered truthfully. ¡°Exhibition center?¡± Queen Ibai was puzzled. ¡°Yes, because there seems to be an International Perfume Exhibition there today. Our company¡¯s new second-largest shareholder is exhibiting there,¡± Jules Grant said. ¡°Perfume!¡± Queen Ibai sighed. Then, she seemed to have fallen asleep. For a long time, there was no sound from the phone. Jules Grant did not dare to disturb her and just held his phone silently. At this moment, Queen Ibai spoke again, ¡°What a nostalgic time. Lil Jules, let me go to the perfume exhibition with you.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Jules Grant was slightly stunned. He did not expect the queen to make such a request. Queen Ibai did not give him much time to react. ¡°That¡¯s all. Come to the palace first.¡± After hanging up, Queen Ibai made two more calls. Immediately after, the luxurious motorcade, the guards, and so on all moved quickly. The queen was a noble person, so she had to show royal dignity and ensure her safety! The commotion in the palace was quickly noticed by a pale and thin little girl. When the little girl arrived at the main hall, Queen Ibai asked, ¡°My cute Lil Riley, why are you here? How are you feeling?¡± This little girl was called Riley, and she was Queen Ibai¡¯s 15th great-granddaughter. At the same time, she was also Queen Ibai¡¯s favorite great-granddaughter. Unfortunately, shortly after she was born, she suddenly suffered from a very strange illness. She had a loss of appetite, and she often vomited and fainted¡­ The doctors did all kinds of tests, but they were still unable to determine the illness¡­ ¡°Riley is feeling very well,¡± Riley said. ¡°Alright, as long as Lil Riley is fine.¡± Queen Ibai smiled kindly. ¡°You seem to be sleeping very late recently. You have to take care of your health,¡± Riley said. ¡°Alright, alright!¡± Queen Ibai said happily. ¡°My Lil Riley is so obedient. You¡¯re even showing concern for me!¡± An old man and a young man chatted casually in the hall. The topic was very relaxed, and they would laugh from time to time. At this moment, Riley finally said, ¡°I heard that you¡¯re going to the exhibition center to attend a perfume exhibition. Can you bring me along?¡± As she said this, her big eyes flashed. Obviously, she was looking forward to this. Queen Ibai opened her mouth but did not agree immediately. That was because she knew that Riley¡¯s physical condition was very bad. Some doctors even said that accidents could happen at any time. To participate in a perfume exhibition in such a physical condition¡­ After all, there were too many people there. What if¡­ Rationally, Queen Ibai did not want her great-granddaughter to go to the perfume exhibition. However, when she looked at Riley¡¯s expectant eyes, her heart softened. Ever since it was discovered that Riley was suffering from a strange illness, she had been staying in the palace almost every day. She was like a canary in a cage. Perfume was like flowers, possessing a mesmerizing charm. The perfume exhibition was like a blooming flower, attracting all the women. It just so happened that there was a perfume exhibition today¡­ If Riley missed it, would there be a next time? At the thought of this, Queen Ibai finally said, ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll bring you to the perfume exhibition.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Riley shouted excitedly. Queen Ibai smiled when she saw how happy she was. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s true.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Riley could not help but hug Queen Ibai¡¯s arm. At this moment, the sound of brisk footsteps could be heard from outside. Soon, a middle-aged man dressed in European noble clothes slowly walked in. He bowed slightly and said in a very respectful tone, ¡°Respected Queen, Mr. Jules Grant requests an audience.¡± Chapter 361 - 361 Wanting to Meet! 361 Wanting to Meet! In the afternoon, Eagle Country Exhibition Center was as lively as in the morning. The situation at Flower Stem¡¯s booth was still the same. No one was interested. Even though Chu Yunyue had already rejected Brewer twice in a row, whenever he had some free time, he would come to look for Chu Yunyue. ¡°Beautiful Ms. Chu, it seems that no one is visiting your booth. How about we have a few drinks tonight and discuss it? ¡°I might not have made myself clear yesterday. In fact, before long, I¡¯ll also enter Eagle Country Oil Company and join the ranks of its management. Therefore, you can absolutely believe in my abilities.¡± As he said this, he puffed out his chest. Eagle Country Oil Company was definitely one of the companies with the best benefits in Eagle Country. Yesterday, he was showing off his background. Today, he was showing off his future. He believed that Chu Yunyue would definitely be attracted to him. ¡­ The continuous harassment made Chu Yunyue completely disgusted. She frowned and was about to speak. At this moment, the already lively exhibition center suddenly became extremely noisy, and there were occasional cries of surprise. ¡°Queen Ibai is here!¡± ¡°Queen Ibai has come to the exhibition center to participate in the International Perfume Exhibition!¡± ¡°Heavens!¡± ¡­ Just as everyone had said, Queen Ibai was indeed here! At this moment, Queen Ibai, Jules Grant, Riley, and a group of nobles were slowly walking into the exhibition center. Queen Ibai¡¯s expression did not change much, but her heart was filled with nostalgia. Due to her health, she rarely left the palace and had never participated in any perfume exhibition. At this moment, she looked at the various booths and smelled the rich fragrance in the air. Her entire thin face was filled with excitement. ¡°His name is Lin Fan, but I haven¡¯t seen him yet. If the Queen wishes to see him, I¡¯ll ask him to come over,¡± Jules Grant said honestly. ¡°Alright,¡± Queen Ibai nodded and said. Even Queen Ibai could not ignore Eagle Country¡¯s Oil Company. Jules Grant first dialed Lin Fan¡¯s number, but unfortunately, no one picked up. He had just told the Queen that he would look for the second-largest shareholder. How could he say now that he could not find him? What would the queen think of him? Jules Grant felt helpless as he quickly walked away. In that case, he would go and find Lin Fan himself. Jules Grant quickly walked forward and searched for Lin Fan in the crowd. Luckily, Jules Grant knew that Lin Fan was of Hua Nation nationality. He would stand out among the fair-skinned and dark-skinned people of Eagle Country. Even so, Jules Grant spent nearly half an hour looking around before he finally saw Flower Stem¡¯s booth. His gaze was locked on a tall, handsome man of Hua descent. ¡°Mr. Lin!¡± Jules Grant shouted excitedly. He shouted and ran toward Flower Stem¡¯s booth. When Lin Fan heard someone calling him, he turned around slowly. Although this was a foreign man with a beard, Lin Fan relied on his superb memory to easily identify him from his voice. Jules Grant had just run over, but before he could say anything, Brewer, who was standing at the side, took the lead and said in an extremely respectful and excited tone, ¡°Hello, Mr. Grant.¡± Brewer¡¯s uncle was the director of Eagle Country Oil Company, and he had always wanted to enter Eagle Country Oil Company. Therefore, he paid more attention to the news and higher-ups of Eagle Country Oil Company compared to the average person. Brewer did not expect to meet the chairman of Eagle Country Oil Company at the perfume exhibition today. In his opinion, this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If only he could leave a slight impression on the chairman. In that case, after some time, when he successfully entered Eagle Country Oil Company, would he not be able to immediately be promoted and make a fortune? Thinking of this, Brewer felt excited. Every day, countless people would greet Jules Grant. Usually, Jules Grant would just nod in response. He could also just pretend that he did not hear them. It would be too tiring to answer all of them one by one. However, when Jules Grant saw that Brewer and Lin Fan were standing together, he thought that he was Lin Fan¡¯s friend. Thus, he nodded and said, ¡°Hello, hello.¡± The chairman of Eagle Country Oil Company had greeted him! Although it was just a simple reply, it sounded like heavenly music to Brewer¡¯s ears. He was filled with endless joy. However, Jules Grant did not pay attention to Brewer anymore. Then, he said to Lin Fan in English in a respectful tone, ¡°Mr. Lin, so you¡¯re here.¡± The interpreter beside him translated the words. Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯m the major shareholder of Flower Stem. Of course, I¡¯m here.¡± ¡± I see,¡± Jules Grant said. ¡°Oh right, our Queen Ibai wants to see you.¡± ¡°Why does Queen Ibai want to see me?¡± Lin Fan asked curiously. In fact, Lin Fan was not the only one who was confused. Chu Yunyue and the others were also confused. However, before Jules Grant could answer, there was another commotion not far away. ¡°Greetings, Queen Ibai!¡± ¡°Greetings, Queen Ibai!¡± Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. They saw a large group of luxuriously dressed men and women walking over. The person walking at the front had a head full of hair and a peaceful expression. It was Queen Ibai, who often appeared on television and the news. Queen Ibai waved her hand gently in response to the greetings from the people around her. When she turned her head, she happened to see Jules Grant standing in front of Flower Stem¡¯s booth. She could not help but walk forward slowly. ¡°Lil Jules, you¡¯re here?¡± Queen Ibai said. ¡°Yes¡­¡± Jules Grant respectfully said. ¡°This is Mr. Lin.¡± When Queen Ibai heard this, she could not help but size Lin Fan up. Her kind face revealed a look of surprise. When she heard Jules Grant introduce Lin Fan¡¯s name, she had already guessed that he was a man from Hua Nation. However, she did not expect Lin Fan to be so young. After a while, Queen Ibai said, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Lin Fan replied, ¡°Queen Ibai, nice to meet you.¡± When he said this, his eyes inadvertently fell on Riley, who was standing beside Queen Ibai, and he frowned slightly. Chapter 362 - 362 Attack; Heal! 362 Attack; Heal! Observation, smell, question, and pulse-taking were the methods of diagnosis in traditional medicine. Some highly skilled doctors could judge a person¡¯s physical condition with just a glance. Lin Fan had obtained Sun Simiao¡¯s Medical Experience. Sun Simiao was the king of medicine. Naturally, he was a brilliant traditional medicine practitioner. Lin Fan could tell that there was something wrong with Riley¡¯s body. Moreover, the problem was huge! Queen Ibai noticed that Lin Fan was staring at Riley and asked, ¡°Mr. Lin, this is my great-granddaughter, Riley. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Even if he was staring at an ordinary girl, it was not a very polite thing to do. Lin Fan said, ¡°One minute. I estimate that she¡¯ll faint in about one minute. She¡¯ll be in critical condition!¡± Chu Yunyue, the oval-faced woman, and the staff of Flower Stem¡­ Originally, they were extremely excited because of Queen Ibai¡¯s arrival. However, after hearing Lin Fan¡¯s words, everyone froze. What did Lin Fan mean? One had to know that Queen Ibai had just said that Riley was her great-granddaughter, the princess of Eagle Country! In the end, Lin Fan said that she was going to faint in one minute and would be in critical condition?! What was this? Was he cursing her? He was cursing Eagle Country¡¯s princess? If Queen Ibai blamed him¡­ Because of Lin Fan¡¯s words, the atmosphere turned heavy. At this moment, Riley, who was looking around curiously, suddenly rolled her eyes and fell to the ground. Queen Ibai¡¯s heart tightened, and she hurriedly called out, ¡°Doctor!¡± The nobles beside her also shouted. ¡°Doctor, come quickly!¡± ¡­ When the queen went out, the doctor would always follow her. He quickly ran over. The doctor lifted Riley¡¯s eyelids and listened to her heartbeat. Then, he took out a syringe and injected it into Riley¡¯s snow-white arm. Obviously, the doctor had a deep understanding of Riley¡¯s condition. After doing this, the doctor heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°Your Highness, she should wake up soon.¡± In the past, the doctor had always treated Riley like this. The effect was also very good. However¡­ This time, after he finished speaking, Riley suddenly began to foam at the corner of her mouth, and her eyeballs kept rolling. Seeing this¡­ The doctor¡¯s heart tightened, and a layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. He quickly bent down and began to perform emergency treatment on Riley, but it was useless. ¡°Doctor, how is it?¡± Queen Ibai asked anxiously. The doctor quickly said, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because the dosage of the medicine isn¡¯t enough. I¡¯ll give the princess another injection.¡± After saying that, he took out another syringe and was about to inject it into Riley¡¯s arm. t this moment, Lin Fan suddenly shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t inject anymore! Do you want her to die?¡± Lin Fan was not a saint. However, when he saw Riley fall ill in front of him¡­ For some reason, Lin Fan suddenly recalled the scene of his sister falling sick. As he spoke, he pushed the doctor to the ground. The guards thought that Lin Fan was a dangerous person and wanted to stop him. At this moment, Lin Fan said, ¡°I can save her!¡± Lin Fan¡¯s every sentence was translated by the interpreter. When Queen Ibai heard this, she suddenly thought of what Lin Fan had said earlier. ¡®One minute. She¡¯ll faint in one minute and be in critical condition!¡± ¡°Everyone, stand down!¡± Queen Ibai hurriedly said.¡± No one dared to disobey the queen¡¯s orders! The guards retreated. Immediately, Queen Ibai, Jules Grant, Chu Yunyue, and everyone else focused their attention on Lin Fan. Lin Fan opened a bottle of Flower Stem¡¯s perfume and placed it by Riley¡¯s nose. About half a minute later, Riley stopped foaming. Obviously, it had alleviated her symptoms. Lin Fan thought for a moment and spent ten million yuan to buy a bottle of Medical Water from the system. He poured it into Riley¡¯s mouth. With Lin Fan¡¯s current medical skills, even without the use of any healing potions, he could still completely cure Riley. However, if Lin Fan were to save her, he would need to prescribe a prescription, get the medicine, and so on. It would be too troublesome. Lin Fan hated trouble. After consuming Medical Water, Riley slowly opened her eyes. Riley saw that she was lying on the ground while Queen Ibai and everyone around her were looking at her. She said timidly, ¡°Did¡­ Did I get sick again?¡± Seeing this¡­ Jules Grant could not help but heave a sigh of relief. When Lin Fan pushed the doctor away and said that he could save Riley, his heart was in his throat. Lin Fan was the second-largest shareholder of Eagle Country Oil Company. At the same time, he was the one who introduced him to Queen Ibai. If anything happened, he would definitely be unable to escape the responsibility! The consequences would definitely be terrifying! ¡°Good, good! It¡¯s good that you¡¯re awake!¡± Queen Ibai said happily. After a pause, she said, ¡°Quickly thank Mr. Lin. He saved you.¡± ¡°Thank you¡­¡± Riley said timidly. ¡°Mr. Lin.¡± ¡°You¡¯re welcome,¡± said Lin Fan. ¡°I wonder what you used to save my Lil Riley?¡± Queen Ibai asked. As she spoke, her slightly cloudy eyes landed on the Flower Stem perfume in Lin Fan¡¯s hand. Lin Fan did not hesitate and passed it over casually, ¡°A bottle of perfume.¡± Queen Ibai was slightly stunned. A bottle of perfume? He used perfume to wake up her great-granddaughter? Queen Ibai slowly took the perfume with doubts in her heart. She placed it by her nose and sniffed it gently before nodding slightly. Although the distance was quite far, when Lin Fan opened the bottle, Queen Ibai could still smell the fragrance. At this moment, when she smelled it again, she could not help but praise, ¡°What a nice smell. It has distinct layers. I like it very much.¡± After a pause, she continued, ¡°Mr. Lin¡­ In the future, if Lil Riley falls ill again, will she only need to smell this perfume? Is there a way to cure her completely?¡± As she said this, Queen Ibai¡¯s usually calm face revealed an obvious look of anticipation. She loved Riley very much. Every time she saw her fall ill, she felt very uncomfortable. Unfortunately, no doctor could cure her. Today, Queen Ibai saw a glimmer of hope. Lin Fan said calmly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, she won¡¯t fall ill again.¡± When Queen Ibai heard this, even she could not help but become excited. ¡°Really? Has she completely recovered?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan replied. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Queen Ibai shouted excitedly. Chapter 363 - 363 Purchasing; Apologizing! 363 Purchasing; Apologizing! As Queen Ibai spoke, she could not help but look at Riley. Her originally pale face was now flushed with a healthy red color. Alright! Riley had really recovered! ¡°Mr. Lin, may I purchase a batch of this perfume?¡± Queen Ibai asked after some thought. Her thoughts were simple. It did not matter if Riley was completely cured or not. However, one thing was certain. This perfume would definitely be helpful to Riley¡¯s condition. Sniffing this perfume was obviously more suitable than getting an injection! In addition, Queen Ibai really liked the smell of the perfume. Chu Yunyue, the oval-faced woman, and the staff of Flower Stem all revealed unconcealable excitement when they heard this. Finally, someone wanted to buy Flower Stem¡¯s perfume. Moreover¡­ This person was the queen of Eagle Country! This was good news! This was definitely great news! Compared to Chu Yunyue and the others, Lin Fan was much calmer. ¡°Of course!¡± he said casually. ¡°This perfume is called Flower Stem. In fact, what you have is only part of the collection. There are many other different perfumes.¡± As he spoke, Lin Fan placed all the perfumes on the table. Queen Ibai sniffed all the perfumes and nodded slowly. ¡°They all smell very good. I¡¯ll buy 100 bottles of each perfume.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± said Lin Fan. At this moment, a noblewoman whispered something into Queen Ibai¡¯s ear. ¡°Your Majesty, you¡¯re welcome,¡± Lin Fan said. The two of them exchanged a few more words before Queen Ibai turned around and left. Even though Queen Ibai had left, the people who had been watching from the start were still focused on Flower Stem¡¯s booth. The chairman of Eagle Country Oil Company, Jules Grant, looked at Lin Fan with admiration and envy. ¡°Mr. Lin, you¡¯re really amazing! You actually used perfume to wake up our Princess Riley! In the future, your perfume will definitely be world-famous!¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°World-famous? That would be very difficult!¡± Then, he pointed at Brewer and said, ¡°Mr. Brewer¡¯s uncle is Alan Peter, the director of Eagle Country Oil Company. ¡°And he himself is about to join the management of Eagle Country Oil Company¡­ He used this identity to get my girlfriend to go on a date with him. He also used this to say that he could help our Flower Stem attract customers.¡± The interpreter at the side quickly translated Lin Fan¡¯s words. Using his identity to invite Mr. Lin¡¯s girlfriend on a date? He was a mere nephew of a director, yet he said he was about to become a manager? How dare he? How dare he? Not to mention that Lin Fan was the second-largest shareholder of Eagle Country Oil Company, just the fact that Lin Fan had just saved Princess Riley meant he absolutely could not be offended! Jules Grant finally shouted, ¡°How dare you?! Let me tell you, if Alan Peter is really your uncle, he will receive the punishment he deserves. Also, don¡¯t even think about entering Eagle Country Oil Company in this lifetime!¡± Brewer¡¯s face instantly turned pale. Eagle Country Oil Company was one of the companies that gave out the best benefits in Eagle Country. In order to join, he had spent a lot of effort. Now¡­ all his hopes were dashed? In addition, would his uncle be punished because of him? His uncle would kill him. He definitely would! Thinking of this, Brewer shouted in fear, ¡°No, no, no. Don¡¯t¡­ M-Mr. Chairman, please let me go¡­¡± However, Jules Grant acted as if he did not hear him and did not care at all. Then, Brewer begged Lin Fan, ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m shameless. I¡¯m despicable¡­ I beg you, please forgive me. I beg you¡­¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± Lin Fan spat out coldly. Although it was only two words, Brewer was frightened. He gritted his teeth and was about to plead again when Jules Grant said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear? Mr. Lin told him to get lost!¡± The two muscular black men beside him were like ferocious beasts. They directly stepped forward and drove Brewer out. The entire venue fell silent. ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry. I can¡¯t believe such an unpleasant thing happened¡­¡± Jules Grant apologized. Lin Fan said calmly, ¡°Every company will have some parasites, but the situation still needs to be managed.¡± ¡°Yes, yes¡­ Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Lin. I¡¯ll definitely be stricter with my employees,¡± Jules Grant hurriedly said. ¡°Are you free now, Mr. Lin? I¡¯ll give you a simple report on the situation of Eagle Country Oil Company last year and the direction of development in the coming year¡­ If you have any other suggestions, you can also raise them¡­¡± Lin Fan waved his hand. ¡°No need. I¡¯m not interested in this. It¡¯s best to leave professional matters to the professionals. Everything will develop according to the direction you have set.¡± Jules Grant heaved a sigh of relief. Lin Fan was too young, but he had too many shares in the company. It would be very troublesome if he were to command the companies¡¯ strategies. The method that Lin Fan mentioned was the best. Jules Grant thought to himself, then said, ¡°Really? Alright then¡­ If you have any suggestions for the company in the future, you can tell me at any time.¡± While the two were chatting, Flower Stem¡¯s booth was already filled with people. ¡°Hello, I want to buy your perfumes.¡± ¡°I want 100 bottles!¡± ¡°I want 200 bottles!¡± ¡­ The sky gradually darkened. Chu Yunyue, Lin Fan, and the staff of Flower Stem finally returned to the Royal Hotel. Everyone was very busy this afternoon. However, their faces were all filled with smiles. The oval-faced woman said excitedly, ¡°We were almost as popular as we are back home today!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the exhibition was about to end, those people wouldn¡¯t have been willing to leave at all,¡± another person said. ¡°In the past, people always said that foreigners had good qualities and never cut lines. In the afternoon, I saw a few foreigners cut the queue to buy our perfumes,¡± the man in the white shirt said. ¡°Did you stop them?¡± the oval-faced woman asked. ¡°Of course!¡± the man in the shirt said. ¡°I told them to queue up again. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t sell them anything!¡± ¡°Beautifully done!¡± the oval-faced woman exclaimed. Chapter 364 - 364 Dream; Not the Largest Shareholder! 364 Dream; Not the Largest Shareholder! The employees of Flower Stem chatted and laughed, the atmosphere extremely heated. Even Chu Yunyue could not help but smile. It had always been Chu Yunyue¡¯s dream to make Flower Stem the world¡¯s top perfume brand. What happened this afternoon had taken her one big step closer to this dream! ¡°How many orders have we received in total?¡± Chu Yunyue asked. ¡°108,900 bottles!¡± the oval-faced woman said. ¡°Not bad!¡± Chu Yunyue nodded in satisfaction. Then, she looked at Lin Fan curiously and asked, ¡°Lin Fan, why can our Flower Stem¡¯s perfume heal Princess Riley?¡± Everyone in Flower Stem pricked up their ears. Obviously, they were also very curious about this matter. They had seen it with their own eyes¡­ At that time, Riley looked very pitiful. Her face was pale, she had fainted, and she was foaming at the mouth¡­ Even the doctor did not seem to know what to do. In the end, Lin Fan took out the Flower Stem¡¯s perfume and placed it by Riley¡¯s nose for her to sniff for half a minute. Immediately, she stopped foaming at the mouth and her complexion turned for the better. When he fed Riley some liquid, she immediately woke up. In the eyes of everyone, this was simply too unbelievable. Lin Fan said, ¡°Riley¡¯s mother must¡¯ve had a difficult birth. Riley¡¯s body is weak, and she catches a cold easily. ¡°So, Eagle Country¡¯s royal family placed her in a confined space for a long time and gave her a lot of supplements. ¡°However, a child¡¯s body can¡¯t absorb that many supplements. In addition, there was a long-term lack of air circulation¡­ It caused problems in her respiratory system, digestive system, and so on. ¡°Riley had been sealed off from the world for a long time. Today, she walked for a long time in the exhibition center that was filled with different fragrances. This increased the burden on her respiratory system, which eventually caused her to fall ill.¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then why did she get better after smelling our perfume?¡± Chu Yunyue asked again. ¡°That¡¯s because I took the wind series,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Mint was added to the wind series.¡± Lin Fan was a perfume expert and knew all kinds of perfumes like the back of his hand. In addition, he had Sun Simiao¡¯s Medical Experience, so he easily came up with a simple treatment plan. After hearing Lin Fan¡¯s explanation, everyone¡¯s faces lit up. At this moment, Chu Yunyue seemed to have thought of something and asked, ¡°By the way, why does the chairman of Eagle Country Oil Company know you and treat you so respectfully?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re the boss of Eagle Country Oil Company or the largest shareholder?¡± The oval-faced woman and the employees of Flower Stem perked up their ears again. They were also very concerned about this. ¡°That¡¯s not it,¡± Lin Fan said. Chu Yunyue was slightly relieved after hearing what he had to say. Lin Fan was already the owner of Eagle Country¡¯s Royal Hotel and the biggest shareholder of Xia Airlines. What if he was also the boss or the largest shareholder of an oil company? Their little hearts would be unable to accept it. At this moment, Lin Fan continued, ¡°I only have 10% of Eagle Country Oil Company¡¯s shares. I can be considered their second-largest shareholder.¡± Silence! The entire scene was silent! Chu Yunyue, the oval-faced woman, and the staff of Flower Stem were all stunned. With 10% of Eagle Country Oil Company¡¯s shares, he was the second-largest shareholder? One had to know¡­ Eagle Country Oil Company was a super company with a market value of more than a trillion! 10% of the shares would be worth more than 100 billion! It was true that Lin Fan was indeed not the biggest shareholder nor the boss. However, 10% of the shares was a lot, alright?! Lin Fan saw that everyone was in a daze and could not help but say, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you guys? Let¡¯s go. The food should be ready.¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Alright, alright,¡± Chu Yunyue replied. Then, the group continued to walk forward. Just as Lin Fan said, the food was ready. When they pushed open the VIP room, they saw very exquisite and sumptuous dishes placed neatly on the table. Everyone was very busy today, and they were indeed a little hungry. When they saw the delicacies, they all ate heartily. When Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue returned to the luxurious suite, it was already an hour later. They sat in front of the tall floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the busy road outside and the pitch-black river in the distance. They felt extremely relaxed. It felt like they were not in Eagle Country but back at home in Jiangbei. Home? Chu Yunyue¡¯s heart softened when she thought of this term. She could not help but turn her head and look at Lin Fan. Her beautiful gem-like eyes flashed. At this moment, Chu Yunyue could not help but think of Lin Fan¡¯s use of perfume knowledge that far exceeded ordinary people. It allowed him to create a fascinating perfume. She thought of Lin Fan picking up the microphone and singing a heavenly song. She thought about how Lin Fan had used the perfume to save someone and how it had caused Flower Stem, which no one cared about, to become extremely popular¡­ These things were like scenes from a movie, rippling in Chu Yunyue¡¯s mind. Gradually, Chu Yunyue¡¯s beautiful eyes went from shining to becoming a little dazed. Then, she could not help but get closer to Lin Fan. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ A strong wind blew outside the window, causing the river water to beat against the dam, making a crisp sound. ¡­ The next day, the sky was bright. Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. The entire suite was empty. There was a note on the table. [Today is the last day of the perfume exhibition. I¡¯ll go to the exhibition center first. Remember to have breakfast later! Mwacks! Chu Yunyue.] When Lin Fan saw the note, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He could almost imagine Chu Yunyue¡¯s sweet smile when she wrote the note. Then, he glanced at his phone out of habit. A text message appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,493,100 yuan was deposited into your account.] ¡°Let¡¯s see what we can from signing in today,¡± Lin Fan muttered. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,000,000 yuan.] Lin Fan pursed his lips and said, ¡°What bad luck.¡± Then, he picked up the phone on the table and said, ¡°Send some breakfast up.¡± The best service was offered to Lin Fan¡¯s luxurious suite. Soon, truffle slices, toast, ham, M5 beef, black tea, and other exquisite breakfast dishes were served. Lin Fan ate his breakfast while playing with his phone. He was very relaxed and satisfied. Chapter 365 - 365 Long Line; Welcome! 365 Long Line; Welcome! After a hearty meal, Lin Fan did not stay in the Royal Hotel for long. He drove the Ferrari 812 alone toward the exhibition center. He did not know where it was because today was the last day of the perfume exhibition or if there was another reason. There seemed to be more people at the exhibition center today than two days ago. The number of people at the entrance was at least twice as many as two days ago. However, when Lin Fan walked into the exhibition center, he realized that it was empty. Other than a few staff members, there were no customers at all. What was going on? Lin Fan was a little confused as he walked forward. The next moment, he was stunned. Not far away, there was a dense crowd of people who were all standing in a long line. How many people were there? 500? 1,000? Or tens of thousands? Everyone in the exhibition center was probably queuing up here, right? Lin Fan followed the mass of people and strode forward, looking into the distance. Finally, his gaze landed at the end of the line¡­ It was Flower Stem¡¯s booth. These people were all queuing up for Flower Stem¡¯s booth. Were they all here to buy the perfume? In reality, it was just as Lin Fan had expected. They were indeed here to buy perfumes from Flower Stem! ¡°Give me 1,000 bottles of each perfume!¡± a Caucasian man said. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but we¡¯ve limited it to five bottles per person,¡± the oval-faced woman said. ¡°What? Five bottles? Are you trying to get rid of customers? Hurry up and get me 1,000 bottles!¡± The Caucasian man shouted and slammed the table. The oval-faced woman frowned and said, ¡°If you continue to cause trouble, we¡¯ll blacklist you and won¡¯t sell any products to you.¡± ¡°Then¡­ Then give me five bottles.¡± After paying, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned around and went to the back of the line to queue again. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s face revealed a strange look. At this moment, the oval-faced woman happened to see Lin Fan and said excitedly, ¡°Mr. Lin, you¡¯re here?¡± Chu Yunyue and the others, who had been busy, stopped what they were doing and looked at Lin Fan. Lin Fan smiled and nodded, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ll help too.¡± ¡± No need,¡± Chu Yunyue said. ¡°They can line up and register slowly. You can just sit and rest.¡± Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°As a major shareholder, won¡¯t I be too useless if I do that? Let me do something. It¡¯s boring to just do nothing.¡± Chu Yunyue thought for a moment and said, ¡°Then you can make an electronic version of these names and addresses, classify them, and summarize them.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied. Lin Fan placed his hands on the keyboard. Like a phantom, he quickly entered the names, addresses, and numbers into the laptop. Then, he categorized and summarized the areas, numbers, types, and so on. This scene made Chu Yunyue¡¯s eyes ripple. Lin Fan first displayed his perfume knowledge that was far superior to ordinary people. Then, he displayed his singing voice which was like the sound of nature. Then, with incredible medical skills, he used perfume to wake up Riley. Today, he displayed his superb computer skill. Lin Fan¡­ What else could he not do? In Chu Yunyue¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan was shining like the sun. The setting sun dyed the clouds in the distance red, as if celebrating the successful conclusion of this perfume exhibition. There was still a long line at Flower Stem¡¯s booth. After the exhibition center notified them that the event was over and security guards came to chase them away, everyone reluctantly left. Today, all the employees of Flower Stem were extremely busy. However, they did not show any signs of suffering. On the contrary, their faces were full of happiness and fulfillment. At this moment, Lin Fan said, ¡°Everyone has worked hard these few days. Tonight, let¡¯s go to the palace to relax.¡± In the afternoon, Lin Fan received an invitation from the royal family. They wanted him to come to the palace to attend a banquet to thank him for saving Princess Riley. At that time, Lin Fan asked if he could bring other people along. Regarding this¡­ the royal family directly gave an affirmative answer. Flower Stem¡¯s employees immediately let out excited cries. Under the escort of the Rolls-Royce fleet, a tall and ancient-looking palace gradually appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s and the others¡¯ sights. After entering, they saw clear streams, green plants of various shapes, and jagged hills everywhere. It could be said that there was a perfect scene with every step, making people linger and praise what they were seeing. In the distance, a man in a black suit said in fluent Hua Nation language, ¡°Mr. Lin, nice to meet you.¡± Yesterday, this man had gone to the exhibition center with Queen Ibai and the others. He had been to Flower Stem¡¯s booth as well. Even though Lin Fan did not communicate with him at all, he had a photographic memory and easily remembered him. When Lin Fan and the others approached, the man in the black suit continued, ¡°I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Maron Melvin.¡± It was also when they got closer that everyone smelled a familiar perfume on him. It was the scent of Flower Stem¡¯s perfume. ¡°Nice to meet you, Mr. Melvin,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Mr. Lin, your perfume is amazing!¡± Maron Melvin exclaimed. ¡°It has a wonderful smell. In addition, it makes me feel energetic. This should be considered holy water in Hua Nation, right?¡± Holy water? This was the psychological effect that Maron Melvin had after seeing Lin Fan use Flower Stem¡¯s perfume to save Princess Riley. Even the princess, who was suffering from a chronic illness, could be treated. Of course, it would be of great benefit to his body. In fact, this was also one of the reasons why many people fought to buy the perfume today. Due to the media, many people in Hua Nation felt that the locals were stupid while foreigners were smart. In reality? The vast majority of foreigners could not compare to the people of Hua Nation. Lin Fan did not expose Maron Melvin¡¯s words and said casually, ¡°As long as you like it.¡± ¡°Of course, I like it. I won¡¯t use any perfume that isn¡¯t from Flower Stem in the future!¡± Maron Melvin immediately exclaimed. The two of them chatted as they walked. Not long after, they arrived at the magnificent palace. At this moment, men and women who looked very luxurious in formal attire were standing in the palace. Some were in groups of three or two, whispering to each other, while others were chuckling with their lips pursed¡­ The atmosphere was extremely relaxed. Someone seemed to have noticed Lin Fan who had just walked in and could not help but say, ¡°Welcome, Mr. Lin.¡± Immediately, the people who were conversing with each other turned around in unison, and their gazes landed on today¡¯s main character¡­ Lin Fan. Chapter 366 - 366 Praise; Courtesy! 366 Praise; Courtesy! ¡°Mr. Lin, welcome!¡± ¡°So, this is Mr. Lin. He¡¯s younger than I thought.¡± ¡°How young!¡± ¡­ A wave of welcoming and discussion rang out in the palace. All the topics were about Lin Fan. Lin Fan did not care too much about this. He looked at the food and wine neatly placed on the table and turned to the staff of Flower Stem. ¡°Everyone should be hungry.¡± As he spoke, he took a drumstick first. In fact¡­ Everyone from Flower Stem was indeed a little hungry. With Lin Fan taking the initiative, they did not hesitate anymore. They picked up the steak, chicken, and other delicacies and started eating in big mouthfuls. At this moment, a crisp sound rang out not far away. Then, a beautiful figure slowly walked over. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Behind Lin Fan, a magnetic voice sounded, and there came the refreshing fragrance of Flower Stem¡¯s perfume. When Lin Fan heard that, he turned around slowly. He saw a lady with fair skin, a voluptuous figure, exquisite facial features, and a head of silver hair that was tied up high. She wore a small silver crown¡­ She gave off the feeling of a fairy walking out of a fairy tale. She was filled with a noble and sacred aura. Although it was his first time seeing her, Lin Fan felt a sense of familiarity from the other party. ¡°Hello,¡± he said after a while. ¡°I¡¯m Riley¡¯s sister, Talia. Thank you for saving poor little Riley,¡± Talia said sincerely. Lin Fan thought to himself, ¡®So, she¡¯s Riley¡¯s older sister. No wonder she¡¯s so familiar. However, it¡¯s rare that she¡¯s so fluent in the language of Hua Nation!¡¯ ¡°Mr. Lin, may I ask if you used Hua Nation¡¯s magic¡ªno, I should say a legendary technique¡ªto save Lil Riley?¡± Obviously, she was extremely curious about this. Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s not a legendary technique but traditional Hua Nation medicine.¡± ¡°Hua Nation medicine? It¡¯s really amazing!¡± Talia said. Then, she asked some questions about traditional medicine. Lin Fan, who had Sun Simiao¡¯s Medical Experience, could answer all of them easily. As Talia listened to Lin Fan¡¯s narration, it was as if she was listening to a fairy tale. She was extremely fascinated. At this moment, soft music sounded in the spacious hall. At the same time, all the bright lights disappeared. In its place were swaying stage lights. ¡°Mr. Lin, may I have a dance with you?¡± Talia asked. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and turned to Chu Yunyue. ¡°This should be Ms. Chu, right? May I borrow Mr. Lin for a few minutes?¡± ¡°Of course, no problem.¡± Chu Yunyue smiled. From the looks of it, Talia seemed to be obsessed with Lin Fan. However¡­ Chu Yunyue was not jealous. On the contrary, she was very happy. It was because Lin Fan was the person she liked. At the same time, she had never thought of possessing Lin Fan alone. The fact that Lin Fan was able to attract more people, including the princess of Eagle Country¡­ Chu Yunyue was naturally very happy. This further proved that the person she liked was very outstanding. ¡°Mr. Lin, shall we dance together?¡± Talia asked again. Lin Fan said, ¡°But¡­ I¡¯ve never danced.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll teach you.¡± Talia did not wait for Lin Fan to speak again. She held his hand and walked toward the center of the dance floor. She swayed her body to the music. At the same time, she did not forget to guide Lin Fan along with her. Soon, Talia realized that she did not even need to guide Lin Fan. On the contrary, she was the one receiving a lot of help from Lin Fan. He helped her make her movements smoother and smoother. She performed a perfect dance that she had never done before. This kind of situation had never happened before despite dancing with the best dancers for many years. ¡­ Chu Yunyue was watching Lin Fan and Talia from afar. Looking at their agile figures and elegant movements¡­ It was as if they were a pair of elves dancing in a dense forest. It was mesmerizing. Chu Yunyue was still not jealous. Her beautiful eyes shone even brighter. Lin Fan¡¯s knowledge of perfumes far exceeded that of ordinary people. His singing voice was like the sound of nature, and his medical skills were amazing. She also realized that Lin Fan had superb dancing skills. It was impressive enough for anyone to possess one of these abilities. However, Lin Fan alone possessed all of them. Chu Yunyue even had a feeling that this was not all of Lin Fan¡¯s abilities! With this thought in mind, Chu Yunyue¡¯s heart began to beat wildly. He¡­ was the person she liked! ¡­ The music gradually stopped, and all the stage lights gathered on Lin Fan and Talia. Immediately, the resplendent palace was filled with warm applause. In the past, they applauded mostly out of courtesy. This time¡­ everyone was sincere. That was because Lin Fan and Talia¡¯s dance was simply too good. Talia smiled and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, you just said that you haven¡¯t danced before¡­ Lying will make one grow a big nose.¡± Lin Fan wanted to check if his nose had grown. He rubbed his nose and smiled helplessly. In fact, he was not lying. He really had not danced. However, Lin Fan had obtained Expert-Level Dance Techniques before. He did not even need to have danced before. His body could instinctively perform an excellent dance. He could not explain it at all. At this moment, a series of dull footsteps sounded in the distance. Following that, Queen Ibai, who had a benevolent expression without losing the dignity of the royal family, and a group of nobles slowly walked over. ¡°Greetings, Your Majesty,¡± everyone in the hall said in unison. ¡°Welcome, everyone.¡± Queen Ibai nodded. Then, she used her slightly turbid eyes to scan the hall. Finally, her gaze landed on Lin Fan. ¡°Mr. Lin, welcome to Eagle Country¡¯s palace.¡± ¡°Thank you, Queen,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°I should be the one thanking you,¡± Queen Ibai said. ¡°Thank you for saving my Lil Riley.¡± Her words were extremely sincere. Today, the doctor did a comprehensive check-up on Riley and found that she had completely recovered. Riley was Queen Ibai¡¯s favorite. Now, she was finally safe and sound. This was all thanks to Lin Fan. Then, Queen Ibai picked up a wine glass and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, let me toast you!¡± At the same time, everyone in the palace raised their glasses and said in unison, ¡°To Mr. Lin!¡± The queen and all the nobles toasted together in the palace! This courtesy was unparalleled! Chapter 367 - 367 Return; Somethings Wrong with Ma Zhong! 367 Return; Something¡¯s Wrong with Ma Zhong! At this banquet, everyone ate and drank to their hearts¡¯ content. They had a great time. Time flew by like water. Queen Ibai raised her glass again and said, ¡°Finally, let us toast Mr. Lin once again and welcome him to the palace!¡± All the nobles raised their glasses again and said in unison, ¡°Welcome, Mr. Lin!¡± The banquet ended here. At this moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve completed the hidden mission¡ªRoyal Feast. You¡¯ve received one golden packet.] He ate and drank for free and even received a golden packet? Not bad! Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up. After Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue got into a Rolls-Royce that was part of the motorcade and returned to the Royal Hotel, it was already 10 PM. As soon as she closed the door of the luxurious suite, Chu Yunyue threw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s arms. If it was not for the fact that there were too many people at the banquet, Chu Yunyue would have thrown herself into Lin Fan¡¯s arms when he was dancing. At this moment, she could no longer endure it. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ? (¡¥¦ê¡¥?) ¡­ The next day. After Lin Fan, Chu Yunyue, and the staff of Flower Stem had breakfast together, they were sent to the international airport by the chairman of the Royal Hotel, Jack Smith. They boarded the luxurious private plane prepared by Xia Airlines. The employees of Flower Stem experienced the passionate service of the beautiful air stewardesses once again. With a bumpy flight, they finally arrived in Jiangbei, Hua Nation. The perfume exhibition had just been held in Eagle Country. Chu Yunyue and the employees of Flower Stem needed to get over the jet lag and deal with related matters. Therefore, they either returned to the company or went home to rest. He sat on the soft sofa and brewed a cup of fragrant Spirit Tea. As he drank the tea, he played with his phone. He was extremely relaxed. After a while, he turned his attention to the golden packet. He muttered, ¡°One golden packet. Let¡¯s see what I can get.¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five million yuan.] Lin Fan could not help but pout. ¡°Why is there something useless in the golden packet?¡± ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. After Lin Fan finished his breakfast, he drove the Culinan straight to Jiangbei University. It had been a while since he went to school, and he missed it a little. After spending a few days in the European-styled international metropolis, Lin Fan felt a different kind of relaxation when he returned to the youthful and energetic campus. Not long after, he arrived at the classroom. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, which beauty have you been hanging out with recently?¡± Song Yi asked. His eyes were filled with anticipation, as if he wanted to hear some explosive topics. Lin Fan thought to himself, ¡®This guy¡¯s thinking is really unhealthy.¡¯ However, on second thought, it seemed like he really did go out with a beauty. Lin Fan rubbed his nose and said, ¡°I went to Eagle Country¡­¡± After a pause, he said, ¡°It was a business trip.¡± ¡°I understand, I understand!¡± Song Yi chuckled. ¡°You bastard.¡± Lin Fan pursed his lips. At this moment, Lin Fan suddenly noticed that Ma Zhong, who was always very active in class, did not seem to be in class. ¡°Where¡¯s Ma Zhong?¡± he asked. At the mention of Ma Zhong, Song Yi immediately put away his smile and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know either¡­Ma Zhong seems to have been late for a lot of classes these past few days. ¡°Also, he returns to the dormitory very late every day. Every time he comes back, he¡¯ll be sweating profusely. He¡¯ll be tired too.¡± When Lin Fan heard this, he could not help but frown. At this moment, the bell rang. The old professor with white hair slowly walked in. In the past, Lin Fan felt that his lectures were like a lullaby and would fall asleep very quickly. Today, however, he lay on the table, tossing and turning. He was unable to fall asleep. When the bell rang and the old professor left the classroom, a figure covered in sweat slowly appeared at the door. It was Ma Zhong. Lin Fan could not help but ask, ¡°Ma Zhong, where did you go?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been feeling that my foundation isn¡¯t too solid recently.¡± Ma Zhong forced a smile. ¡°So, I took on a job as a tutor. While reviewing basic knowledge, I can also earn money.¡± Zheng Jinbao and Song Yi looked enlightened. Lin Fan nodded his head noncommittally. In the blink of an eye, the day¡¯s classes were over. After Ma Zhong put away the book, he seemed to have something urgent to attend to and was eager to run out. However, before he could walk far, Lin Fan stopped him and smiled. ¡°Ma Zhong, are you going to tutor again?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Ma Zhong said. ¡°Where?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Washington Palace¡­ Brother Lin Fan, you should know that it¡¯s the best school district in Jiangbei. The parents there care about their children¡¯s studies a lot,¡± Ma Zhong stammered. Lin Fan said, ¡°Really? That¡¯s great! I have a house there, and I need to go over to settle some matters. I¡¯ll drive you there.¡± Lin Fan¡¯s words were half true and half false. He did have a house in Washington Palace. Moreover, it was an entire building! However, he did not have anything to settle. That was because he had already entrusted all the properties to Lianjia Real Estate. Why would he need to deal with anything? Ma Zhong was a little hesitant. ¡°Thank you, Brother Lin Fan.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°We¡¯re brothers. What¡¯s there to thank for such a small matter?¡± As he spoke, he put his hand on Ma Zhong¡¯s shoulder and walked toward the parking lot. The Cullinan had an air purification system that kept the interior of the car fresh and fragrant. In addition to the top-notch sound insulation and the top-notch air suspension, sitting in it was like sitting on a soft grass patch. One would be extremely relaxed and comfortable. At the same time, Ma Zhong, whose forehead was still dripping with sweat, gradually calmed down. At this moment, Lin Fan said, ¡°Ma Zhong, we¡¯re roommates and brothers¡­ If you encounter any trouble, you must say it. Only then can we find out a way to deal with it. ¡°Unless you don¡¯t treat me as your brother.¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ve always treated you as my brother!¡± Ma Zhong hurriedly said. He knew that Lin Fan had discovered something. Ma Zhong gritted his teeth and finally said, ¡°I¡¯m not tutoring. I¡¯m helping people wash dishes.¡± Regarding this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s face did not reveal any hint of surprise. One had to know¡­ He had the ability of a Perfume Expert, and he could tell a hundred things with one sniff. Today, when Ma Zhong came to the classroom, he could easily smell the stench of sweat on his body and the smell of cooking oil. Ma Zhong continued, ¡°My father¡­ is sick. He has terminal lung cancer.¡± After saying this, Ma Zhong seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and his entire face was filled with pain. Chapter 368 - 368 Paying Back a Debt; Its Only Right! 368 Paying Back a Debt; It¡¯s Only Right! Ma Zhong took another deep breath to calm his mind. Then, he continued, ¡°My dad has medical insurance, and I¡¯ll wash dishes to earn some money. It¡¯ll be enough to cover the medical expenses for the time being¡­ Also, I¡¯m looking for a job as a tutor. I¡¯ll get it soon. ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to hide it from you. It¡¯s just that my family can still hold on for now.¡± This was indeed Ma Zhong¡¯s plan. He had never liked to trouble others. As long as he could hold on, he would definitely do his best to hold on. However, if he really could not hold on, he would ask Lin Fan for help. Lin Fan stepped on the brakes and shouted, ¡°Ma Zhong, you bastard! ¡°Do you think you¡¯re so noble? Do you think I¡¯ll care about this little trouble? ¡°If something like this had happened to my family, tell me, would you sit idly by? ¡°Do you know how much pain your father has endured because of your stubbornness and fear of troubling others? ¡°If his cancer suddenly becomes serious, you¡¯ll regret it then!¡± When Ma Zhong heard Lin Fan¡¯s words, his entire face turned pale. A layer of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. That was right. He was not afraid of hardship or tiredness, but what about his father? He could not help but think of his father coughing in pain and sleeping in the hospital corridor¡­ Ma Zhong slowly lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t apologize to me! Show me the way!¡± Lin Fan said. Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator, causing the car to shoot forward like a beast. ¡­ In an old village in the suburbs of Jiangbei City. Ma Dajiang, who had sparse hair, was lying on the bed, coughing violently. There was blood in his cough, and he looked extremely miserable. Liu Juan, who was busy in the kitchen, ran over quickly when she heard the sound and asked with concern, ¡°Dajiang, are you alright?¡± At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside. ¡°Big Brother, Sister-in-law, are you there?¡± Then, there were shouts. ¡°Yes, we¡¯re at home!¡± Liu Juan replied. She then saw a round-faced couple¡­ Although she was sad because of Ma Dajiang¡¯s illness, she was still extremely enthusiastic. ¡°Dahe, Xiu Xiu, you¡¯re here. Sit down and have some tea.¡± Ma Dajiang, who was lying on the bed, opened his mouth when he saw the two of them. He was about to say something. However, he could not help but cough violently again. Wang Xiu seemed to be afraid of being infected and could not help but take a few steps back. Then, she said, ¡°I¡­ Let¡¯s go outside.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Liu Juan said without thinking too much.¡± When they arrived at the living room, Liu Juan used a disposable cup to pour them a cup of tea. However, Wang Xiu pushed the cup away and said, ¡°Our car broke down. It¡¯s too inconvenient. We want to change cars¡­ ¡°Sister-in-law, can you return the 100,000 yuan I lent you two years ago?¡± Ma Dajiang was a construction worker. A few years ago, his body suddenly became very unwell. He had no choice but to stop work and rest for a while. As a result, his income was naturally not steady. In order to let his son go to school normally, he had no choice but to borrow 100,000 yuan from his brother, Ma Dahe¡¯s, family. Liu Juan knew about this. It was only right to repay a debt. However, the current situation¡­ Liu Juan lowered her head, her wrinkled face filled with pain. Ma Dahe, who was sitting beside his wife, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. However, Wang Xiu, who was beside him, glared at him, scaring him so much that he chose to shut up. ¡°Sister-in-law, don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t want to return it?¡± Wang Xiu said again. Liu Juan said, ¡°It¡¯s not that. However, you should know about Dajiang¡¯s current condition¡­¡± Wang Xiu glanced at the room inside and said, ¡°I know! However, doesn¡¯t he have terminal lung cancer? ¡°Sister-in-law, don¡¯t you know what late-stage lung cancer means? He only has a few months. Big Brother can only hold on for a few more months. ¡°Is there a need to waste money on chemotherapy? Moreover, chemotherapy is so painful. In my opinion, it¡¯s time for Big Brother to eat and drink whatever he wants.¡± In fact¡­ This was also the reason why Wang Xiu came to ask for money today. However, she was not thinking about Ma Dajiang at all. She was worried that Ma Dajiang would spend too much money on his treatment, so much so that he would not be able to pay her back in the future. At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from afar. Two figures, one tall and one short, quickly appeared in the hall. It was Lin Fan and Ma Zhong. ¡°Shut up!¡± Ma Zhong shouted angrily. This voice scared Wang Xiu so much that her heart throbbed. However, the words were already spoken. She calmed herself down very quickly and said, ¡°What? A junior can now casually contradict an elder? ¡°I¡¯ve always heard that those who owe money are more arrogant than those who borrow money. Today, I¡¯ve finally seen it for myself!¡± At this point, Wang Xiu could not help but look at Liu Juan from the corner of her eye. The pain on Liu Juan¡¯s wrinkled face intensified. If it were in the past, even if she had to sell everything, she would definitely return the money immediately. Now, however? Her husband was still lying on the hospital bed. Could she really bear to wait for her husband¡¯s death¡­ Lin Fan, who had not said anything, said coldly, ¡°Isn¡¯t it just 100,000 yuan? I¡¯ll give it to you now!¡± Wang Xiu first sized Lin Fan up before saying, ¡°Is that so? Then hurry up.¡± Now, the words had already been spoken. She did not care so much. As for who Lin Fan was? She was not in the mood to ask. As long as she got her money, it was fine. Lin Fan did not hesitate. He took out his phone and transferred 100,000 yuan. ¡°Now that you¡¯ve been given the money, get lost!¡± Ma Zhong shouted. Wang Xiu carefully counted the amount several times before revealing a satisfied expression. She did not care about Ma Zhong¡¯s words and curled her lips. ¡°I¡¯m leaving!¡± As she spoke, she strode out. Ma Dahe lowered his head and followed closely behind. After Wang Xiu and Ma Dahe left, the air in the room seemed to have become much fresher. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, thank you,¡± Ma Zhong said sincerely. ¡°Mom, this is my roommate, Lin Fan.¡± ¡°Lin Fan, don¡¯t worry,¡± Liu Juan said hoarsely. ¡°We¡¯ll definitely return the 100,000 yuan to you as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Aunt, you don¡¯t have to be so polite,¡± Lin Fan said casually. ¡°Ma Zhong and I are not only roommates but also brothers.¡± At this moment, loud coughs came from the room. Lin Fan quickly said, ¡°Let¡¯s go see Uncle first.¡± Chapter 369 - 369 Better; Missing! 369 Better; Missing! Lin Fan looked at Ma Dajiang, who was lying on the old bed. His face was pale, his hair was sparse, and there was a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth. He could not help but think of his father, Lin Tao, when he had to lie on the hospital bed. His heart ached slightly. Then, he glared fiercely at Ma Zhong. Obviously, he was blaming him for not telling him earlier. Ma Zhong lowered his head in shame. ¡°Dajiang, this is Lil Zhong¡¯s classmate, Lin Fan.¡± ¡°So, it¡¯s Lil Zhong¡¯s classmate. Quick¡­ Hurry up and sit¡­ Cough, cough, cough.¡± Ma Dajiang was halfway through his sentence when he started coughing violently again. Lin Fan said, ¡°Uncle, rest well.¡± Then, he carefully observed Ma Dajiang. Very quickly, Lin Fan came to the conclusion that it was indeed late-stage lung cancer. Even though Lin Fan had Sun Simiao¡¯s Medical Experience, he could only nurse Ma Dajiang¡¯s body for a while at most. He could not completely cure him. Hence, Lin Fan spent ten million yuan to buy a bottle of Medical Water from the system. ¡°Ma Zhong, go and let Uncle drink this,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright.¡± Ma Zhong did not even ask Lin Fan what it was and just replied. He believed that Lin Fan would never harm his father. Ma Dajiang would cough violently every now and then. However, after drinking the Medical Water, he no longer coughed. Gradually, his pale face became rosy. Ma Dajiang, who had been unable to fall asleep due to lung cancer and the unbearable pain, fell into a deep sleep. Not long after, he even snored loudly. Seeing this¡­ Ma Zhong and Liu Juan were pleasantly surprised. Lin Fan said softly, ¡°Let¡¯s not disturb Uncle here. Let¡¯s go out first.¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Alright, alright,¡± Ma Zhong said. Lin Fan said, ¡°What are you thanking me for? You¡¯re treating me like an outsider! In the future, if you need anything, just speak directly.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Ma Zhong nodded vigorously. Lin Fan did not stay in the living room for long. After chatting with Ma Zhong for a while, he drove the Cullinan toward the Coiling Dragon Villa. That was because Lin Fan knew that Ma Dajiang had drunk Medical Water, so he no longer had to worry about his physical condition. ¡­ The next day. After Lin Fan woke up, he looked at his phone. A message had appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,434,900 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, he focused his attention on the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,000,000 yuan.] Lin Fan shook his head slowly. Obviously, he was not satisfied with the result of this sign-in. After breakfast, Lin Fan went straight to Jiangbei University. When he arrived at the classroom, it was already full. Ma Zhong, Song Yi, and Zheng Jinbao were all seated within. Ma Zhong was not as sweaty as yesterday, and he seemed much more relaxed. When he saw Lin Fan, he could not hide the joy on his face. He shouted excitedly, ¡°Brother Lin Fan!¡± It was no wonder that Ma Zhong would be like this. His father had been in poor health for the past few years. A few days ago, he coughed up blood non-stop. After falling ill, he could not stand up again. Later, he went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that he had late-stage lung cancer. Yesterday, after Lin Fan went to Ma Zhong¡¯s house, he helped Ma Zhong¡¯s family return 100,000 yuan and gave Ma Dajiang some medicine. That night, Ma Dajiang¡¯s condition was much better. This morning, he miraculously woke up and could walk freely. Lin Fan smiled and patted Ma Zhong¡¯s shoulder. At this moment, the bell rang. Teacher Tiantian walked in slowly. Instantly, the entire classroom was enveloped in a sweet fragrance. The chattering classroom immediately quieted down. Teacher Tiantian was already used to similar situations happening every time she came to class. She only glanced around the classroom. When she saw Lin Fan, her beautiful eyes immediately lit up. After a while, she began her lesson. Teacher Tiantian¡¯s lesson was like a symphony to the students. In the blink of an eye, it had already ended. To Lin Fan, the entire day of lessons was like this. Unknowingly, the setting sun slowly appeared. Lin Fan went to the car park and sat down in the Cullinan. He stepped on the accelerator and sped in the direction of Teacher Tiantian¡¯s house. That was because he had received a WeChat message from Teacher Tiantian at noon today, asking Lin Fan to go to her house for dinner. Lin Fan pressed the doorbell. After a while, Teacher Tiantian opened the door. Teacher Tiantian seemed to be still cooking. She was wearing a flowery apron. She was gentle and quiet, with a voluptuous figure. Coupled with her apron, she looked like a wife waiting for her husband to return home, which made one feel extremely affectionate. Lin Fan could not help but feel intoxicated. ¡°Why are you standing at the door?¡± Teacher Tiantian asked. ¡°Come in quickly.¡± Only then did Lin Fan react and say, ¡°Ah¡­ Alright.¡± At this moment, the table was already filled with green pepper and shredded pork, spicy crab, stir-fried cabbage, boiled prawns, beef, steamed fish¡­ The fragrance was rich, and the color was gorgeous. The food all looked very appetizing. ¡°I¡¯ll get the soup out of the pot and we can start eating!¡± Teacher Tiantian said. Then, she walked toward the kitchen and brought out the chicken mushroom soup. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°The soup is here. We can start eating!¡± As he spoke, he impatiently picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, and put it into his mouth. He gave a thumbs up and praised, ¡°It smells good, but it tastes even better!¡± ¡°You, your mouth is really too sweet¡­¡± Teacher Tiantian was happy. When Lin Fan heard that, he leaned his head over. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) After a while, Lin Fan said, ¡°Is it sweet? I think that your mouth is even sweeter.¡± Teacher Tiantian¡¯s pretty face blushed. ¡°Do you want some wine?¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Fan said. Hence, Teacher Tiantian poured two glasses of red wine. Lin Fan raised his wine glass and sniffed it before gently swirling it. Finally, he slowly poured it into his mouth. ¡°Roman¨¦e-Conti is indeed worthy of being called the King of Burgundy. It tastes mellow and soft. It¡¯s not inferior to Lafite at all.¡± [Skill: Drinking Gentleman!] Teacher Tiantian looked at Lin Fan¡¯s actions as he drank and listened to his comments. She was a little dazed. After a while, she said, ¡°Lin Fan, let me help you peel the prawns.¡± One, two, three¡­ Teacher Tiantian quickly peeled a large plate of prawns for Lin Fan. During this time, she kept feeding Lin Fan beef, chicken mushroom stew, as well as green pepper and shredded meat. Finally, Lin Fan waved his hand and said, ¡°I¡¯m full. Teacher Tiantian, you don¡¯t have to give me any more food.¡± When Teacher Tiantian heard this, she put down her chopsticks and whispered, ¡°Alright.¡± Then, she threw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s embrace. She tried her best to merge into Lin Fan¡¯s body. Absence made the heart grow fonder. Teacher Tiantian had not seen Lin Fan for a few days, and her thoughts about him had reached the extreme. Chapter 370 - 370 Treat to Dinner; Hello, Mr. Lin! 370 Treat to Dinner; Hello, Mr. Lin! Three days passed in a flash. Coiling Dragon Villa. Lin Fan leisurely poured some water for the Spirit Tea and came back. The phone in his pocket rang. Lin Fan looked at the caller ID. Seeing that it was Ma Zhong calling, he immediately pressed the answer button. ¡°It¡¯s gone, Brother Lin Fan. My dad¡¯s lung cancer has completely disappeared! ¡°Brother Lin Fan, thank you!¡± Lin Fan had just placed the phone by his ear when Ma Zhong¡¯s excited voice rang out. Ever since Lin Fan came to his house that day, Ma Dajiang could sleep easily. The next day, he could walk on his own. On the third day, his complexion got better and better. He could even eat a big bowl of rice. Hence, Liu Juan brought Ma Dajiang to the hospital for a check-up, and they suddenly realized that the lung cancer had disappeared! The hospital was also very surprised by such news. They gave Ma Dajiang a few more detailed examinations for free. However, the results of each examination were the same. Ma Dajiang was a very healthy person. Helpless, the hospital could only make a solemn apology to Ma Dajiang, saying that there was a problem with the equipment. Therefore, it resulted in a misdiagnosis. However, Ma Zhong knew that it was not a misdiagnosis. If it was a misdiagnosis¡­ why did his father cough up blood every day and fall ill? If it was a misdiagnosis¡­ why did his father keep losing his hair? The real reason was that Lin Fan had used that bottle of medicine to cure his father. However, he knew that it must be very precious. Even so, Lin Fan did not hesitate at all and took it out to save his father. He would forever remember this kindness in his heart! Compared to Ma Zhong¡¯s excitement, Lin Fan was extremely calm. It was because this was something he had expected. ¡°I told you, there¡¯s no need to be so polite between us,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright, alright¡­¡± Ma Zhong said. ¡°I¡¯m just too happy.¡± ¡°Brother Lin Fan, my parents would like to invite you to have a meal at Fenglai Hotel. Are you free?¡± Lin Fan understood that they wanted to thank him for saving his life. If he did not go, they would probably mind it for the rest of their lives. ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll go over now.¡± Coiling Dragon Villa was not too far from Fenglai Hotel. In just 20 minutes, Lin Fan arrived at his destination. Just as he arrived at the lobby, Ma Zhong, who was far away, kept waving his hands and said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, over here!¡± Lin Fan replied, ¡°Alright!¡± After getting closer, Lin Fan¡¯s gaze landed on Ma Dajiang. The current Ma Dajiang was like a completely different person compared to a few days ago. Even though his face was full of traces of time, he seemed to be full of energy. ¡°Lin Fan, thank you,¡± Ma Dajiang said. Lin Fan said, ¡°Uncle, Ma Zhong and I are brothers. You don¡¯t have to be so polite with such a small favor.¡± ¡°Brother Lin Fan, we were too late. The private rooms have all been booked,¡± Ma Zhong said apologetically. Lin Fan waved his hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s just a meal. It doesn¡¯t matter where we eat. It¡¯s more lively outside anyway.¡± ¡­ While Lin Fan and the rest were chatting, a brand new BMW 320 arrived at the parking lot of Fenglai Hotel. Wang Xiu and Ma Dahe walked down slowly. Wang Xiu took out a piece of paper and wiped the dust off the BMW. She could not help but praise, ¡°A BMW sure is a BMW. It¡¯s so comfortable to sit in!¡± Ma Dahe looked at the BMW, and his eyes seemed to flicker. Obviously, he liked this car very much. Wang Xiu puffed out her chest and said, ¡°I told you to buy a BMW, didn¡¯t I? In the past, we couldn¡¯t even get an appointment with Manager Zhang of Xiao Wu Wholesale City. Yesterday, we drove our BMW over and today, we got an appointment!¡± ¡°You have good taste, my wife.¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Wang Xiu raised her head and said. ¡°Having a nice car is important when doing business. Without a nice front, how will others be willing to talk to us? ¡°A few days ago, you were a little unwilling to let me ask your brother for money. Without money, how could we buy a BMW? Without a BMW, how could we have gotten to meet Manager Zhang? If we didn¡¯t get to invite Manager Zhang, how could we get a good contract from Xiao Wu Wholesale City?¡± The more Wang Xiu spoke, the more arrogant he became. Ma Dahe kept nodding his head, praising his wife¡¯s good taste and wisdom. The two of them chatted as they walked. When they arrived at the hotel lobby, they saw the dazzling lights, the thick solid wood decorations, and the faint fragrance in the air¡­They seemed to have become a member of the upper class. In the next moment¡­ Ma Dahe¡¯s body froze slightly. He was shocked to find his eldest brother, sister-in-law, and nephew in the hotel lobby. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± he asked in surprise. Did Ma Dajiang not have late-stage lung cancer? Should he not be lying on the hospital bed and waiting for treatment? Why did he come to the hotel? ¡°What do you mean?¡± Wang Xiu asked. As she spoke, she followed Ma Dahe¡¯s gaze. Immediately after, Wang Xiu was stunned. However, she quickly reacted and said, ¡°It seems that your eldest brother and sister-in-law have taken my words to heart.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiu strode forward. Then, she said at the top of her voice, ¡°I told you. Anyway, Big Brother has late-stage lung cancer. He can¡¯t be cured! ¡°It¡¯s better to eat and drink well than to throw money into the hospital for nothing!¡± ¡°We¡¯ve already returned the money to you. My family has nothing to do with you anymore!¡± Ma Zhong shouted. ¡°If you say such things again, don¡¯t blame me for being rude!¡± ¡°Ha! You said it yourself! In the future, don¡¯t even think about borrowing a single cent from our family!¡± Wang Xiu shouted. In fact¡­ This was the reason why she came over and reminded Ma Dajiang not to throw money at the hospital for nothing. Wang Xiu was going to have an appointment with Manager Zhang of Xiao Wu Wholesale City. She would be able to get a good contract very soon. It would not be long before she could earn a lot of money and become a rich woman. At that time, some poor relatives would probably be thick-skinned enough to borrow money from her. In Wang Xiu¡¯s view, Ma Zhong¡¯s family was clearly among them. She wanted to nip the problem in the bud. At this moment, the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard from behind. Wang Xiu heard the sound and casually looked behind her. In the next moment¡­ Her entire face was immediately filled with smiles. She bent down and said, ¡°Manager Zhang, you¡¯re here! ¡°We were going to welcome you at the door, but we were stopped by a few acquaintances.¡± Manager Zhang nodded and glanced at the people Wang Xiu was pointing at. It was not a big deal. However, with this glance¡­ He froze. His heart was beating wildly. That was because he saw Lin Fan! Hence, Manager Zhang hurriedly ran forward and said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Chapter 371 - 371 Receiving the Award! (1) 371 Receiving the Award! (1) Manager Zhang¡¯s name was Zhang Wenbo. A few months ago, he was just an ordinary salesman in Xiao Wu Wholesale City. He was constantly hesitating whether to leave or not. One day, a business manager named Xiong Jianping accidentally saw a client contract. Hence, Xiong Jianping took the initiative to ask for the contract. After that¡­ Zhang Wenbo got to know that the client and Xiong Jianping had a grudge against each other. Therefore, when the customer arrived at Xiao Wu Wholesale City, Xiong Jianping deliberately made things difficult for the other party. It was because of this that Xiong Jianping and the leaders who supported him were severely punished. The reason why such a thing happened was because there was a young man standing beside the customer¡­ It was Lin Fan! Zhang Wenbo clearly remembered how respectful the chairman, director, general manager, and other company executives were to Lin Fan. The company dealt with the relevant personnel in a thunderous manner after the incident. It was also because of this that there were many vacancies in Xiao Wu Wholesale City, which gave Zhang Wenbo the opportunity to become a business manager. If Xiao Wu Wholesale City were just an ordinary wholesale company like before, it would not be anything to shout about. A business manager was nothing. However, Xiao Wu Wholesale City later established a deep partnership with Flower Stem. The income and power of all the employees had also increased substantially. One had to know¡­ Nowadays, the perfume and beauty essence of Flower Stem were the hottest in Hua Nation, especially in Jiang Province. By chance, Zhang Wenbo learned that the reason why Xiao Wu Wholesale City was able to establish a close connection with Flower Stem was all because of Lin Fan. Because of this, Lin Fan became even more majestic in Zhang Wenbo¡¯s heart. That was why he was so respectful when he saw Lin Fan. ¡­ All the previous times Lin Fan went to Xiao Wu Wholesale Market, Zhang Wenbo had only looked at him from afar. Lin Fan did not even see Zhang Wenbo. Therefore, even though Lin Fan had a photographic memory, he did not know Zhang Wenbo at all. ¡°And you are?¡± he asked. ¡°I¡¯m Zhang Wenbo, the business manager of Xiao Wu Wholesale Market,¡± Zhang Wenbo quickly introduced himself. When Lin Fan heard this, he had a look of realization. Wang Xiu, who was standing at the side, could not help but ask, ¡°M-Manager Zhang, do you know each other?¡± When he said this, Wang Xiu had a bad premonition. The business manager of Xiao Wu Wholesale City did have some power in the past. However, Zhang Wenbo was on another level now. The reason for this was that Xiao Wu Wholesale City had established a close partnership with Flower Stem and had a large number of Flower Stem¡¯s perfumes and essence. There was no need to worry about sales. It could be said that as long as one could get their hands on Flower Stem¡¯s perfumes and essence, it would mean a huge profit. In such a situation, how could the business manager not be fought over? It was also for this reason that when Wang Xiu asked Zhang Wenbo out for dinner, she was so sure that she would earn money. In the past, when Zhang Wenbo faced Wang Xiu, he always put on airs. After all, that was because she wanted to get a good contract from him. At this moment, Zhang Wenbo bowed slightly and said, ¡°Madam Wang, I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t know that you knew Mr. Lin. I¡¯ve offended you¡­¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°No need to apologize. I don¡¯t know this Madam Wang. I¡¯m good friends with her nephew, Ma Zhong. ¡°A few days ago, Ma Zhong¡¯s father was misdiagnosed with late-stage lung cancer. Mrs. Wang was afraid that Ma Zhong¡¯s family would find it difficult to repay her the 100,000 yuan they owed. ¡°So, she went straight to Ma Zhong¡¯s father¡¯s house and asked him not to waste money on treatment and to repay her 100,000 yuan. ¡°I helped them repay the money. ¡°At the same time, my good friend, Ma Zhong, has also completely severed all ties with her.¡± Lin Fan¡¯s tone was very calm. However, Zhang Wenbo could easily tell how much Lin Fan hated Wang Xiu. Zhang Wenbo glanced at Wang Xiu coldly and said with a muffled snort, ¡°I¡¯ve never seen such a cold-blooded woman! These days, she¡¯s been showing off her strength in hopes of establishing a cooperative relationship with our Xiao Wu Wholesale City. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that her strength actually came from this! ¡°I was almost fooled by her. ¡°Our Xiao Wu Wholesale City will never establish a cooperative relationship with such a person!¡± Wang Xiuyan¡¯s face paled. In order to cooperate with Xiao Wu Wholesale City, she rented a shop and prepared a lot of things. If they could not cooperate, they would definitely suffer heavy losses. ¡°Manager Zhang, didn¡¯t we already come to an agreement? You can¡¯t break your promise!¡± Wang Xiu shouted. If Lin Fan mistakenly thought that he had a good relationship with Wang Xiu, then¡­ ¡°An agreement?¡± Zhang Wenbo shouted sternly. ¡°That was because you were too good at lying!¡± After saying that, he could not help but glance at Lin Fan. At this moment, Wang Xiu also reacted. Everything was because of Mr. Lin. Hence, she quickly bent down and begged, ¡°Lil Zhong, can you help me beg Mr. Lin? I¡¯m your aunt.¡± Ma Zhong, who had always looked like a good person, said coldly, ¡°Aunt? What aunt? Our family has nothing to do with you anymore!¡± Wang Xiu looked at Ma Zhong¡¯s cold expression. She understood that it was useless for her to beg him again. Thus, Wang Xiu turned to Ma Dajiang and Liu Juan and said, ¡°Brother, Sister-in-law, you also know that I have a big mouth. I was just talking nonsense a few days ago. Let Lil Zhong help say a few words.¡± Chapter 372 - 372 Receiving the Award (2) 372 Receiving the Award (2) Wang Xiu and Ma Dajiang lowered their heads and did not respond. Wang Xiu could not help but feel a little anxious and said, ¡°In order to get the contract with Xiao Wu Wholesale City, Dahe and I not only invested all our money into it, but we also borrowed a sum of money from the bank. ¡°We¡¯re betting everything on it! ¡°If we can¡¯t get the contract with Xiao Wu Wholesale City, we might have to beg on the streets. ¡°Even if you won¡¯t pity me, won¡¯t you pity Dahe?¡± Then, Wang Xiu pointed at Ma Dahe, turned around, and shouted at Ma Dajiang, ¡°Big Brother, Dahe is your younger brother!¡± It had to be said that Wang Xiu was very eloquent. These words caused Ma Dajiang¡¯s wrinkled face to be filled with pity. He raised his head and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. However, Ma Zhong beat him to it and shouted, ¡°Dad! If the person who fell sick this time wasn¡¯t you but Mom or I and I didn¡¯t know Brother Lin Fan, do you know what the outcome would be?¡± Ma Dajiang¡¯s heart trembled slightly. If he was not the one who fell ill¡­ He would have had to sell everything and return the money to Wang Xiu. In that case, what was waiting for Ma Zhong and Liu Juan¡­ was death! The thought of them dying¡­ Ma Dajiang immediately became determined and said in a muffled voice, ¡°Wang Xiu, our family has nothing to do with you anymore! You don¡¯t have to beg me anymore!¡± Wang Xiu¡¯s eyes widened. She could not believe her ears. He rejected her. The good old man Ma Dajiang actually rejected her? How was this possible? Wang Xiu opened her mouth and was about to say something. At this moment, Ma Dahe, who had been silent all this while, shouted, ¡°There¡¯s no need to say anymore!¡± Wang Xiu was stunned again. How was this possible? ¡°Ma Dahe, you¡­¡± Wang Xiu said. ¡°Stop!¡± Ma Dahe roared again. ¡°I said, stop talking!¡± His gaze was twisted, and Wang Xiu was so scared that she did not dare to speak anymore. Ma Dahe turned to Ma Dajiang, Liu Juan, and Ma Zhong. He said, ¡°Big Brother, Sister-in-law, Lil Zhong, I¡¯m sorry.¡± After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to them. Then, he turned around and left. Wang Xiu was stunned again. Ma Dahe left! He actually left without saying anything to her! Wang Xiu looked at Ma Dahe with a complicated expression and slowly followed him. After Ma Dahe and Wang Xiu left, the originally noisy lobby of Fenglai Hotel became much quieter. Zhang Wenbo did not dare to eat with Lin Fan. He found an excuse and left early. Not long after, the dishes that Ma Zhong had ordered were served. Lin Fan and Ma Zhong¡¯s family had a great meal. ¡­ Time flowed like water. In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. Today, Lin Fan strolled into the classroom as usual. He listened to his classmates talking about games, beautiful women, sports, and other topics. He laughed from time to time. He was extremely relaxed and satisfied. At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from outside. Counselor Sun Yaodong walked in quickly. He first scanned the classroom. When he saw Lin Fan, his face was immediately filled with smiles. ¡°Lin Fan, it¡¯s great that you¡¯re in the classroom!¡± Then, he cleared his throat and said, ¡°Lin Fan, I have good news for you! You¡¯ve been nominated for the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize!¡± When Chen Yaodong said this, his voice could not help but become high-pitched. It was as if he was the one who was nominated. As soon as he finished speaking, all the students in the classroom revealed unconcealable envy on their faces. Even though they knew that Lin Fan had solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, Twin Prime Number Conjecture, Hail Conjecture, Hodge Conjecture, and other difficult problems and had already guessed that Lin Fan would win this award, there was still a difference between guessing and being sure. ¡°The Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize will be held at Huaqing University the day after tomorrow. Our school has booked a flight for you to Jingbei tomorrow morning.¡± ¡°Lin Fan, remember to pack your luggage when you get home later.¡± For most people, winning a prize was a matter of honor, money, fame, and status¡­ However, none of these were attractive to Lin Fan. Honor? He did not need it. Reward? The Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize was only worth 500,000 USD. Lin Fan did not care about this bit of money at all. Famous? If Lin Fan wanted to be famous, he could have been famous all over the world by now. As for status? He did not need it at all. Hence, Lin Fan started to think about whether he should go to Jingbei to participate in the selection and receive the medal. At this moment, a clear notification sounded in his mind. [Ding! Mission: Win five international awards.] Reward: Five golden packets.] When Lin Fan heard this, his eyes twitched. After a while, he replied, ¡°Alright.¡± Chen Yaodong raised his voice again and said, ¡°Let us give a warm round of applause to Lin Fan for winning the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Award!¡± Immediately, the entire classroom was filled with enthusiastic applause. Song Jiaxin, who was sitting at the front, clapped her hands. At the same time, her gaze toward Lin Fan lit up. ¡­ The next day. After Lin Fan finished his breakfast, he drove the Culinan straight to the airport. As the major shareholder of Xia Airlines, Lin Fan could transfer a private jet over at any time. However, the school had already bought Lin Fan a plane ticket. In addition, Dean Hu Chuan and Professor Song Guotao were also flying to Jingbei. In order to avoid trouble, Lin Fan did not make any further arrangements. Obviously, Jiangbei University attached great importance to this Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize. The ticket was first class, and the hotel was the five-star Boya International Hotel near Huaqing University. On the plane, Hu Chuan and Song Guotao wanted to kill time and get closer to Lin Fan. From time to time, they would find a topic to chat about. However, the age difference between them was too big, so the topics were all very boring. After arriving at the hotel, Lin Fan saw that Hu Chuan and Song Guotao seemed to want to chat with him again. Therefore, he found an excuse and said that he had never been to Jingbei before. He wanted to walk around and take a look before leaving the hotel. Lin Fan was not making this up. He had only been to the capital once. That time, it was to buy a hundred-year-old ginseng. After buying a hundred-year-old ginseng and saving the life of the old man of the Zhou family, he left the capital. Indeed, he had never visited the capital properly. Walking on the wide street, he could see layers of tall buildings, narrow alleys, and low courtyards in the distance. All of this made the capital have a fashionable and modern atmosphere, and it was also filled with a sense of history¡­ When Lin Fan turned a corner, a beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure in a business suit appeared in front of him. When Lin Fan saw the beauty, the beauty also saw him. The two of them looked at each other. At this moment, it was as if the air had completely solidified. This was because this beauty was the one Lin Fan had met at the event at Tingfeng Villa when he came to Jingbei to buy a hundred-year-old ginseng. Lin Fan still remembered that this beauty was wearing a white skirt that day. Her looks and temperament were all excellent. However, when he woke up the next day, the beautiful woman and the bedsheet were all gone. Instead, there was a stack of red banknotes on the table. It was because of that incident that Lin Fan was helpless for a while. He did not expect to meet the other party today. Lin Fan was shocked, and the beauty was even more shocked. At that time, she was under a lot of pressure from work and happened to hear from her friend that there was a very relaxing cocktail party. The beauty walked in with the thought of relieving her stress. That day, she only had the thought of relaxing. As for anything else, she had never thought about it at all. However, when Lin Fan walked to the piano and started to play the piano, she was completely infatuated and could not help but throw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s arms. She even wanted to merge into his body. Chapter 373 - 373 Attending a Dinner Party; Meeting an Acquaintance! (1) 373 Attending a Dinner Party; Meeting an Acquaintance! (1) The beauty¡¯s name was Xu Jingrou. Even though she had lost her most precious possession that night, she did not regret it. After that, she quietly took away the bedsheet that had been stained red. Before leaving, Xu Jingrou looked at Lin Fan¡¯s young appearance and placed a stack of cash on the table. Xu Jingrou had thought that this was the end of the matter. She thought that she would never see him again in this lifetime. Unexpectedly¡­ they actually met again today. Xu Jingrou looked at Lin Fan, the image of him playing the piano and some sports appearing in her mind. Her entire face was flushed red. Lin Fan said, ¡°Beauty, we meet again. I was too anxious last time and forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lin Fan. ¡°What¡¯s your name, pretty lady?¡± Too anxious? Xu Jingrou could not help but think about the time she went to the room with Lin Fan. Her entire pretty face turned even redder. ¡°My name is Xu Jingrou.¡± ¡°Quiet and gentle. This name suits you very well,¡± Lin Fan said. Xu Jingrou was about to say something when she heard hurried footsteps behind her. ¡°Jingrou, why did you walk so fast? CEO Wang asked me to tell you that he has arranged a dinner party at the Qingting Hotel. He has invited CEO Liu from Shengjia and CEO Zhao from Huankun¡­ There¡¯s also CEO Feng from Hengxin Company!¡± ¡°We must greet them well later. This is a rare opportunity!¡± A middle-aged woman in her 30s said with a smile. Xu Jingrou did not smile at all. When he heard about CEO Feng from Hengxin Company, she looked even more disgusted. At this point, her turbid eyes flickered with a faint light. The middle-aged woman seemed to notice a young man standing in front of Xu Jingrou. She could not help but ask, ¡°And this is?¡± Lin Fan¡¯s observation and analysis skills were superb. He could easily tell that Xu Jingrou disliked CEO Feng. At the same time, he could tell that the middle-aged woman was deliberately playing the role of matchmaker, wanting to matchmake Xu Jingrou and CEo Feng. Even though Lin Fan and Xu Jingrou had only met once, the two of them had slept together, after all. Since that was the case, Xu Jingrou was his woman. Lin Fan grabbed Xu Jingrou¡¯s slender waist and said, ¡°I¡¯m Jingrou¡¯s boyfriend, Lin Fan.¡± Xu Jingrou instinctively wanted to break free from the embrace. However, it was as if her entire body had been immobilized and she could not move at all. Feeling the warmth from Lin Fan¡¯s body, her face turned red once again. When the middle-aged woman heard Lin Fan¡¯s reply and saw his actions, she was stunned. After a while, she said, ¡°Ah¡­ Is that so? But I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve heard Jingrou mention you before.¡± On the surface, this was a question. In fact, she was trying to sow discord. It had to be said that this middle-aged woman was really vicious. Lin Fan was not too bothered and said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s all my fault. I haven¡¯t come to the capital to see Jingrou and made her angry.¡± Lin Fan¡¯s reply made the middle-aged woman feel like her attack was useless. She sized Lin Fan up and asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you working in Jingbei?¡± ¡°I¡¯m studying at Jiangbei University.¡± Lin Fan shook his head. ¡°Are you still a student?¡± The middle-aged woman was surprised. In contrast to the middle-aged woman¡¯s shock, Xu Jingrou looked as if she had expected it. That was because after she had sex with Lin Fan, she felt that he was a student. That was why she chose to leave some money behind. Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°Yes, what¡¯s the problem?¡± ¡°No¡­ No, it¡¯s nothing,¡± the middle-aged woman said. Lin Fan said, ¡°Oh right, you said that you wanted Jingrou to attend the dinner. Her boyfriend should be able to go with her, right?¡± The middle-aged woman hesitated, ¡°This¡­ This is our company¡¯s dinner party. I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be good for you to follow¡­¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Really? If I¡¯m not mistaken, it should be time to get off work, right? I don¡¯t think the company can force employees to accompany customers for dinner. Besides, I¡¯ve already made an appointment with Jingrou.¡± Xu Jingrou understood that Lin Fan was helping her. She followed the lead and said, ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I had dinner with Lin Fan. ¡°Since he can¡¯t go to the Qingting Hotel with me, then I can¡¯t attend this dinner party. Sister Qin, please relay the message to CEO Wang and the others.¡± As Xu Jingrou spoke, she was about to leave with Lin Fan. ¡°Why are you leaving?¡± Sister Qin hurriedly asked. ¡°I¡­ I didn¡¯t say he couldn¡¯t go! It¡¯s just that it¡¯s a little inappropriate. ¡°Since Lin Fan wants to go, then there¡¯s no problem.¡± One had to know¡­ She had promised CEO Wang and CEO Feng that she would definitely get Xu Jingrou to come over. If Xu Jingrou left with Lin Fan, would that not mean that she was not capable? As for Lin Fan, he could follow them. Anyway, as long as Xu Jingrou was there, it was fine. Xu Jingrou raised her head and looked at Lin Fan as if she was asking for his opinion. Lin Fan said, ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s go to the Qingting Hotel now.¡± Chapter 374 - 374 Attending a Dinner Party; Meeting an Acquaintance! (2) 374 Attending a Dinner Party; Meeting an Acquaintance! (2) ¡­ The Qingting Hotel was a rather famous hotel in the capital. The decorations here were high-end, and the dishes were delicious. They were popular among many people. At this moment, men with big beer bellies walked into Room 6 one after another. ¡°CEO Liu, CEO Zhao, welcome, welcome!¡± The bald Wang Zhi laughed heartily. Then, he shouted excitedly, ¡°Oh! CEO Feng, welcome, a warm welcome!¡± ¡°CEO Wang, you¡¯re too polite.¡± Feng Jiaqi waved his hand. ¡°How is that polite?¡± Wang Zhi said. ¡°I¡¯m happy and excited!¡± ¡°CEO Feng, please take a seat!¡± ¡°Since CEO Wang is inviting me, I won¡¯t stand on ceremony.¡± Then, Wang Zhi arranged for CEO Liu and CEO Zhao to sit down. The few of them sat and talked, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. At this moment, Feng Jiaqi looked at the door and asked, ¡°Is everyone here?¡± How could Wang Zhi not understand what CEO Feng meant? Was he asking if Xu Jingrou was arriving soon? He smiled. ¡°Soon. They¡¯re already on the way. Let¡¯s get the waiter to serve the dishes first.¡± Feng Jiaqi nodded in satisfaction. Then, Wang Zhi pressed the service button on the table. After a while, a tall and thin male waiter walked in and asked respectfully, ¡°What can I do for you?¡± ¡°The dishes can be served now,¡± said Wang Zhi. ¡°Alright, please wait a moment,¡± the waiter said. As soon as the waiter left, footsteps sounded in the corridor again. Then, Sister Qin, Xu Jingrou, and Lin Fan walked into the private room. Wang Zhi saw his reaction and said, ¡°You¡¯re finally here! We¡¯ve been waiting for a while!¡± ¡°Li Qin, sit next to CEO Zhao. Your task today is to serve CEO Zhao well!¡± ¡°Xu Jingrou, sit next to CEO Feng. Your task today is to take good care of CEO Feng!¡± At this point, Wang Zhi turned to the bald man beside him and said, ¡°My mission is to take good care of you, CEO Liu!¡± ¡°Haha!¡± CEO Liu laughed. ¡°Then you have to drink a few more glasses with me later!¡± The atmosphere in the private room was quite lively. However¡­ Lin Fan looked at Wang Zhi and said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that Jingrou can¡¯t take care of CEO Feng. She has to accompany me for dinner.¡± Wang Zhi frowned slightly. It was only then that he seemed to notice that there was an unfamiliar young man in the private room. ¡°And you are?¡± he asked. ¡°I¡¯m Lin Fan, Jingrou¡¯s boyfriend,¡± Lin Fan said casually. As soon as he said this¡­ The originally lively private room immediately fell silent. Feng Jiaqi looked down and saw Xu Jingrou holding Lin Fan¡¯s hand. His expression immediately turned ugly. Wang Zhi did not expect such a thing to happen. When he saw the change in Feng Jiaqi¡¯s expression, his heart tightened. ¡°Xu Jingrou, when did you get a boyfriend? Didn¡¯t you say you were single a while ago?¡± It had to be said that Wang Zhi was indeed capable to become the CEO of a company. He had told Feng Jiaqi that Xu Jingrou was single. This sentence¡­ Firstly, it was to point out the authenticity of his information. Secondly, he could help Feng Jiaqi investigate the authenticity of this so-called boyfriend. Thirdly, it was to create a barrier between Lin Fan and Xu Jingrou. Xu Jingrou stuttered, ¡°M-Maybe you remembered wrongly, CEO Wang.¡± She was also a veteran in the workplace. If it were a normal question, Xu Jingrou would not have stuttered like this. However, now that the word ¡®boyfriend¡¯ was brought up, the situation felt completely different. Xu Jingrou felt the warmth from Lin Fan¡¯s fingers and the masculine aura from him. She could not control herself anymore. Everyone looked at Xu Jingrou¡¯s nervous expression. They all had guesses in their hearts. Feng Jiaqi¡¯s expression changed, and no one knew what he was thinking. At this moment, the waiters brought in exquisite and gorgeous delicacies one after another. As the delicacies were brought in, an alluring fragrance filled the room, stimulating one¡¯s appetite. CEO Wang personally poured a glass of wine for everyone and said cheerfully, ¡°Today, I¡¯m very happy to be able to invite so many CEOs to have a meal together.¡± ¡°Thank you, CEO Feng, CEO Liu, and CEO Zhao for coming. I¡¯ll give a toast!¡± After drinking a glass of wine, the atmosphere in the private room improved a little. The people in the private room were either chatting or toasting each other¡­ Sister Qin was chatting and laughing, and she would give a toast from time to time. Xu Jingrou sat quietly at the side and ate her food. Lin Fan felt that she was being ignored. He picked up his wine glass and said, ¡°Jingrou, shall we have a drink?¡± Drink? Xu Jingrou could not help but think of the night when she drank a little too. Thus, the scene from that night flooded her mind again. Even though she had not drunk yet, her pretty face was already flushed red. After a while, Xu Jingrou noticed that Lin Fan was still holding his wine glass. ¡°My alcohol tolerance isn¡¯t good, so I¡¯ll just take a small sip.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± said Lin Fan. The two of them clinked their wine glasses lightly, making a crisp sound. Lin Fan drank it all in one gulp. Xu Jingrou did as she said and only took a small sip. Feng Jiaqi, who was sitting in the main seat, narrowed his eyes when he saw this. However, before he could say anything, CEO Zhao raised his glass at him and said, ¡°CEO Feng, let me propose a toast to you. I wish Hengxin company a better future!¡± ¡°Alright, cheers!¡± Feng Jiaqi said. After a while, CEO Liu also raised his glass and said, ¡°CEO Feng, let me toast to you too. I wish Hengxin Company a smooth journey on the road to an IPO!¡± ¡°Thank you for your kind words, CEO Liu.¡± Feng Jiaqi smiled. Then, he said, ¡°However, don¡¯t keep drinking with me. You can¡¯t neglect the two beauties!¡± As he spoke, Feng Jiaqi picked up his wine glass and said to Xu Jingrou, ¡°Ms. Xu, let¡¯s have a drink. How about it?¡± Xu Jingrou hesitated. Just as she had said earlier, her alcohol tolerance was indeed not good. Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Jingrou¡¯s alcohol tolerance isn¡¯t good. If you want to drink, I can drink with you on her behalf.¡± Feng Jiaqi¡¯s face darkened slightly, but he smiled and said, ¡°Is that so? Your boyfriend knows how to protect you. Not bad!¡± In the private room, they started chatting, drinking, and eating again. Earlier, Lin Fan had been strolling around the capital but he had not gone to the bathroom. Now, after drinking some wine and some soup, he finally felt the urge. Even though Lin Fan¡¯s physique was not something ordinary people could compare to, he could not avoid the three emergencies of ordinary people. Lin Fan informed Xu Jingrou and walked toward the bathroom. When he walked out of the bathroom, he met a young man of medium build who looked somewhat imposing. Originally, the young man had been walking with his head raised, looking high and mighty. However, when he saw Lin Fan, his body froze and he lowered his head. Then, in an extremely respectful tone, he said, ¡°M-Mr. Lin.¡± Lin Fan sized up the man and asked, ¡°Are you from the Zhou family?¡± The young man did not expect Lin Fan to remember him. He nodded excitedly and said, ¡°Yes, yes. My name is Qiu Kai, the son of the brother-in-law of Zhou Shihong, the second master of the Zhou family.¡± Back then, when Old Master Zhou was critically ill, Qiu Kai was not qualified to visit him immediately. However, after Old Master Zhou passed the critical period, Qiu Kai and his father went to the Zhou family. It was also during that visit to the Zhou family that Qiu Kai saw the young man who cured the old man of the Zhou family from afar¡­ Lin Fan. During the family meeting, Old Master Zhou publicly stated that no matter who it was, when they saw Lin Fan, they had to treat him with the same respect! Later on, when Lin Fan¡¯s grandfather celebrated his birthday, Old Master Zhou even went to Jiang Province¡¯s Qing City! All of this showed how important Lin Fan was to Old Master Zhou and how high his position in the Zhou family was. Chapter 375 - 375 Slap Yourself; This Isnt Over! (1) 375 Slap Yourself; This Isn¡¯t Over! (1) Qiu Kai also heard that Lin Fan had saved the life of Qin Weiming¡¯s grandson. When Lin Fan¡¯s grandfather celebrated his birthday, Qin Weiming brought a bunch of leaders to celebrate. One of them was on good terms with the Zhou family and the Qin family! Therefore, even though Qiu Kai had only seen Lin Fan once from afar a few months ago, he had engraved Lin Fan¡¯s appearance in his heart. That was because he had always fantasized about meeting Lin Fan one day and chatting with him or building a relationship with him¡­ It would definitely be a great event. Unexpectedly, it had turned into reality. Lin Fan¡¯s state of mind was still extremely calm. ¡°How is Old Master Zhou?¡± he asked with a nod. Lin Fan had a good impression of Zhou Guotao. He treated others with courtesy. He even helped him a little. In the end, he even traveled thousands of miles to attend his grandfather¡¯s birthday banquet. ¡°Thanks to you, the old man¡¯s health has been very good ever since you saved him,¡± Qiu Kai hurriedly said. ¡°In fact, he even eats more than before¡­ He also often told us that you¡¯re the Zhou family¡¯s great benefactor. When we see you, we have to respect you as if we¡¯re looking at him¡­¡± Lin Fan could tell that Qiu Kai was not joking. He nodded his head in approval. Old Master Zhou was really not bad. ¡°Old Master Zhou is too polite. I¡¯ll go to the Zhou family to see him in two days.¡± ¡°If the old master knows, he¡¯ll definitely be very happy,¡± Qiu Kai said excitedly. Lin Fan asked again, ¡°Are you eating here today?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a gathering with friends today,¡± Qiu Kai said. ¡°Okay, then you go ahead. I¡¯m going back to continue eating,¡± Lin Fan said. Lin Fan nodded his head and walked straight to Room 6. Qiu Kai did not bring up the matter of toasting. In his opinion, he did not have such qualifications at all. However, Qiu Kai continued to watch Lin Fan leave. He only looked away when Lin Fan pushed open the door of Room 6. ¡­ At this moment, in Room 6. ¡°Ms. Xu, let me propose a toast to you.¡± Feng Jiaqi raised his glass. ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t know how to drink.¡± He rejected her again! Feng Jiaqi frowned. Could not drink? Lin Fan drank with her and she drank. This matter seemed to have aroused Feng Jiaqi¡¯s competitive spirit. He walked down from the table and placed one hand on the chair. He said to Xu Jingrou, ¡°Ms. Xu, don¡¯t be so rude. It¡¯s just a drink.¡± Xu Jingrou could feel Feng Jiaqi approaching her and the pungent smell of alcohol. She pushed him aside and said, ¡°CEO Feng, what are you doing?¡± Feng Jiaqi had already drunk a little too much, and his body was a little unsteady. Xu Jingrou pushed him lightly and he accidentally spilled the wine on his body. He almost fell to the ground. ¡°CEO Feng, are you alright?¡± ¡°CEO Feng!¡± Everyone in the private room shouted in concern. ¡°Damn it!¡± Feng Jiaqi was completely enraged. After shouting, he raised his hand and wanted to slap Xu Jingrou¡¯s face. At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open. When Lin Fan saw this¡­ His eyes narrowed! Now, his reaction and speed could be said to be at the superhuman level. In an instant, he appeared beside Xu Jingrou and blocked Feng Jiaqi¡¯s palm. Feng Jiaqi¡¯s wrist was grabbed by Lin Fan. It was as if he was being held by a steel clamp. He could not move at all. Lin Fan said coldly, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Feng Jiaqi was not scared seeing as his company was about to go public. He shouted, ¡°What am I doing? Why should I tell you? Hurry up and let go!¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Let go? Apologize to Jingrou immediately and slap yourself ten times!¡± Tyrannical! Even if Feng Jiaqi did not manage to hit Xu Jingrou, Lin Fan still wanted him to slap himself ten times! This was Lin Fan! As long as the other party wanted to harm his woman, he must be punished! Feng Jiaqi laughed and said, ¡°Slap myself ten times? Who do you think you are? If you have the ability, come and fight yourself! Hurry up and let go of me!¡± After saying that, he struggled with his wrist, but it still did not move. ¡°Oh? Do you want me to hit you? Then I¡¯ll fulfill your wish!¡± Lin Fan said. As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan raised his hand and slapped Feng Jiaqi. F*ck! It was accurate! Ruthless! The sound of a slap reverberated in the private room. At the same time, a bright palm print appeared on the left side of Feng Jiaqi¡¯s face. Moreover, the palm print was still deepening and swelling! The people in the room did not expect Lin Fan to really know how to fight. They were all dumbfounded. Feng Jiaqi was completely stunned by the beating, and his head was buzzing. However, Lin Fan did not care about it at all. He raised his hand and slapped again. Another whip-like sound echoed throughout the private room. Then, a palm print appeared on the other half of Feng Jiaqi¡¯s face. ¡­ Then, there was a series of whipping sounds. Soon, the ten slaps ended. Feng Jiaqi¡¯s already fat face was swollen like a pig¡¯s head. Wang Zhi and the others in the private room were completely stunned by this scene. However, Xu Jingrou did not show any fear because of Lin Fan. On the contrary, her beautiful eyes sparkled. Chapter 376 - 376 Slap Yourself; This Isnt Over! (2) 376 Slap Yourself; This Isn¡¯t Over! (2) At this moment, Xu Jingrou could not help but think back to the scene of Lin Fan playing the piano and the scene of him beating people up. Quiet as a scholar, moving like a demon god! No matter which it was, it was fascinating all the same! Now, both sides had appeared on the same person! At this moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [You¡¯ve triggered Charming Aura, an unforgettable memory!] Lin Fan couldn¡¯t help but look at Xu Jingrou. [Appearance: 95] [Favorability: 95] ¡°Ouch!¡± At this moment, Feng Jiaqi, who had been slapped ten times by Lin Fan, started to scream. His voice was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. Everyone in the room finally reacted. ¡°CEO Feng, are you alright?¡± Wang Zhi asked. ¡°Alright?¡± Feng Jiaqi shouted. ¡°Can¡¯t you see that I¡¯ve been beaten up like this? Hurry up and call security!¡± ¡°Alright, alright¡­¡± Wang Zhi hurriedly said. Then, he quickly pressed the service button under the table and said, ¡°There¡¯s a fight here. Get the security guards here!¡± Feng Jiaqi shouted at the top of his voice, ¡°I¡¯m Feng Jiaqi, the CEO of Hengxin Company. I know your manager, Zhao Feng. Tell him that I was beaten up!¡± Soon, a respectful voice came from the speaker under the table. ¡°Mr. Feng, please wait a moment. We¡¯ll be right there.¡± After saying that, the call ended. After Feng Jiaqi received the waiter¡¯s affirmation, he became extremely arrogant and said fiercely, ¡°I¡¯ve never been beaten like this before. You have guts! I hope you¡¯ll have the same guts later!¡± Lin Fan glanced at Feng Jiaqi and said, ¡°Looks like you haven¡¯t been beaten up enough!¡± He turned around and slapped Feng Jiaqi again. Everyone did not expect that Lin Fan would dare to hit someone. They were all shocked. Feng Jiaqi did not dare to say anything else. Xu Jingrou, who had been in a state of infatuation, finally reacted. ¡°What should we do now?¡± she asked in a panic. ¡°Lin Fan, why don¡¯t you leave?¡± Xu Jingrou knew that Lin Fan was a student. Feng Jiaqi¡¯s Hengxin Company was going to be listed soon. He was definitely a rich and powerful big shot. Now that Lin Fan had beaten Feng Jiaqi, he would definitely suffer. ¡°Now you know how to be afraid?¡± Feng Jiaqi endured the pain and said. ¡°Well, it¡¯s too late!¡± Lin Fan¡¯s cold gaze made Feng Jiaqi shiver and shut his mouth immediately. Then, Lin Fan stroked Xu Jingrou and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± At this moment, the door to Room 6 was suddenly pushed open. Then, a large group of security guards and a middle-aged man in a white shirt strode in. When Feng Jiaqi saw who it was, he shouted excitedly, ¡°Manager Zhao, you¡¯re finally here!¡± Zhao Feng sized up Feng Jiaqi and could not help but ask in puzzlement, ¡°And you are?¡± Earlier, Feng Jiaqi did not lie. He did know Zhao Feng. However, at this moment, Feng Jiaqi¡¯s entire face had been beaten into a pig¡¯s head. How could Zhao Feng recognize him? ¡°Manager Zhao, I¡¯m Feng Jiaqi from Hengxin!¡± ¡°CEO Feng? Why are you like this?¡± Zhao Feng said in surprise. Feng Jiaqi pointed at Lin Fan and said, ¡°It¡¯s him. He hit me! Manager Zhao, you must help me!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, CEO Feng!¡± Zhao Feng immediately said. When he turned around and looked at Lin Fan, he was about to say something. At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from outside the corridor. Qiu Kai quickly walked in and said anxiously, ¡°Mr. Lin, are you alright?¡± Even though Qiu Kai felt that he did not have the right to toast Lin Fan, he remained standing far away where he kept an eye on the door of Room 6. Qiu Kai¡¯s thoughts were simple. In a while, when Lin Fan was done eating, he would walk over and create a scene where he happened to meet him. He wanted to show his face in front of Lin Fan and leave a good impression. It would definitely be of great benefit to his future. However¡­ Qiu Kai had only been thinking about it for a while when a large group of security guards rushed into the private room. He understood that something had happened in the room. Therefore, Qiu Kai did not hesitate at all and ran over quickly. Lin Fan looked at Qiu Kai¡¯s anxious expression and nodded in his heart. ¡®Qiu Kai is not bad!¡¯ ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just that this person called Feng Jiaqi wanted to force my girlfriend to drink and even wanted to hit her, so I taught him a lesson.¡± Forcing Lin Fan¡¯s girlfriend to drink? He even wanted to hit Lin Fan¡¯s girlfriend? How dare he? ¡°Motherf*cker!¡± Qiu Kai was furious and kicked Feng Jiaqi. Feng Jiaqi took a few steps back and fell to the ground, curled up into a shrimp ball. Attacking someone in front of so many security guards? Everyone was dumbfounded. The security guards could not help but pull out the rubber batons at their waists. When Zhao Feng saw this, a drop of cold sweat immediately appeared on his forehead. He shouted at the security guards, ¡°Put them down, all of you!¡± When the security guards heard this, their faces revealed a hint of confusion. However, they still put down the rubber batons as they were told. Then, Zhao Feng bowed and said in an extremely respectful tone, ¡°Hello, Young Master Qiu.¡± Although the Qiu family could not compare to the Zhou family, a woman from the Qiu family had married into the Zhou family. This was enough to prove that the Qiu family was extraordinary. Qiu Kai was a direct descendant of the Qiu family! Of course, more importantly, Qiu Kai was the nephew of the Zhou family! Qiu Kai did not pay any attention to Zhao Feng and continued to punch and kick Feng Jiaqi. In the blink of an eye¡­ Feng Jiaqi was about to faint from the beating. Lin Fan said, ¡°Alright.¡± When Qiu Kai heard this, he stopped and bowed again. ¡°Yes, Mr. Lin.¡± Lin Fan gently stroked Xu Jingrou who was in a daze. Then, he said, ¡°I¡¯ll leave this to you. Is there a problem?¡± ¡°No problem! Mr. Lin, don¡¯t worry. Leave it to me. I¡¯ll definitely give him a severe punishment!¡± Qiu Kai said. The meaning of his words was very clear. The beating just now could not be considered a severe punishment. Lin Fan said casually, ¡°Do as you see fit.¡± ¡°Jingrou, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Ah¡­ Alright.¡± Xu Jingrou said. Qiu Kai quickly went to the door of the private room to send Lin Fan off. After Lin Fan and Xu Jingrou left, Qiu Kai turned around and returned to the private room. He looked at Feng Jiaqi, who was lying on the floor like a dead man. Then, his gaze landed on Zhao Feng, and he said in a deep voice, ¡°Zhao Feng, you weren¡¯t rude to Mr. Lin just now, right?¡± At this moment, how could Zhao Feng not understand that Lin Fan¡¯s identity was extremely terrifying? He hurriedly said, ¡°No, no, no, no.¡± When Qiu Kai heard this, his expression softened. Zhao Feng reminded Qiu Kai, ¡°This person is the CEO of Hengxin Company, Feng Jiaqi. He¡¯s from the Feng family.¡± The Feng family was considered a small family in the capital. Of course, the Feng family could not be compared to the Qiu family. However, if the Qiu family wanted to completely ignore the Feng family, it was impossible. ¡°The Feng family?¡± Qiu Kai snorted. ¡°Old Master Zhou will personally investigate this matter!¡± Hiss! When Zhao Fengyan heard this, he sucked in a breath of cold air, and his eyes widened. Perhaps there were many old people with the surname Zhou in the capital. However, the old master of the Zhou family that Qiu Kai mentioned could obviously only be one person¡ªthe old master of the Zhou family, Zhou Guotao! That was Old Master Zhou, who had single-handedly founded a top-notch family in Hua Nation! He¡­ would personally investigate this matter? Who was that young man called Lin Fan? hen, Zhao Feng suddenly remembered what he was going to say to Lin Fan and could not help but shiver. It was alright¡­ It was alright¡­ His mouth was slow, and Qiu Kai came before he could say anything. Otherwise, it would definitely be an extremely terrifying matter. Then, Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze fell on Feng Jiaqi, who was lying on the ground. He was furious. This fellow¡­ He had almost offended Lin Fan because of him! How despicable! Chapter 377 - 377 Receiving Da Mi Group; Welcome! (1) 377 Receiving Da Mi Group; Welcome! (1) The Qiu family could not ignore the Feng family. However, in the eyes of the old master of the Zhou family, a mere Feng family¡­ was probably just bigger ants. CEO Wang, CEO Zhao, CEO Liu, and Sister Qin were trembling in fear when they saw Feng Jiaqi¡¯s miserable appearance. At this moment, when they heard that Old Master Zhou would personally investigate this, they were even more scared out of their wits. That was the pillar of the top-notch Zhou family! At this moment, Qiu Kai seemed to have thought of something. He glanced at CEO Wang, CEO Zhao, CEO Liu, and Sister Qin with his sharp eyes and asked in a deep voice, ¡°Did you offend Mr. Lin?¡± When the four of them heard this, they broke out in a cold sweat, and their hair shook like rattle drums. What a joke. Even the old man of the Zhou family was going to personally investigate this. If they had provoked Lin Fan, the consequences would be¡­ They were definitely not something they could bear. ¡°Then why did Mr. Lin come here for dinner today?¡± Qiu Kai asked. Wang Zhi stammered, ¡°M-Mr. Lin¡¯s woman is an employee of my company.¡± How smart was Qiu Kai? With just a little thought, he knew the general process. He swept a cold glance over and let out a muffled grunt. Wang Zhi and Sister Qin were so frightened that they almost fell to the ground. ¡­ Lin Fan naturally did not know what happened in the private room and what happened afterward. At this moment, Lin Fan and Xu Jingrou had already walked out of the Qingting Hotel. There were wide asphalt roads and winding brick sidewalks in Jingbei¡­ Due to the narrow path, the two of them were very close to each other. Their shadows were almost fused together, and their fingers touched each other from time to time¡­ At this moment, Xu Jingrou stepped on a loose brick and fell to the side. Lin Fan¡¯s reaction was extremely fast. He grabbed Xu Jingrou¡¯s slender waist. Their eyes met. In the next moment, the two of them seemed to be attracted to each other and kept approaching¡­ o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ In the eastern district of Jing City, in a sub-new residential area called Jingeyuan. Xu Jingrou was staying in Room 2104 of Block C. Today, the entire Block C seemed to be shaking as if there was an earthquake. ¡­ The next morning. Lin Fan could vaguely hear a series of low footsteps. He slowly opened his eyes and saw that Xu Jingrou had already changed into her business attire and was ready to leave. ¡°Are you awake?¡± Xu Jingrou said. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Are you going to work?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Xu Jingrou replied. She looked at her watch and said, ¡°I have something important to do today. There¡¯s breakfast and a spare key on the table¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± After saying that, she hurriedly walked out. After the door was closed, the entire house fell silent. Even though Xu Jingrou had witnessed Lin Fan¡¯s extraordinary abilities yesterday, she still chose to go to work on time today and did not stay to accompany Lin Fan. Regarding this¡­ Not only was Lin Fan not angry, but he even smiled. If his woman wanted to be a canary¡­ For example, Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian, Lin Fan would be happy to give them the best food and the most luxurious clothes. There were also strong women like Qin Yuxuan, Han Tian, Chu Yunyue, and so on. Lin Fan had never thought of keeping them by his side. There was also Hu Tian, who liked math. Lin Fan was happy to call her ¡®Teacher¡¯. ¡­ Everyone had their own personality and hobbies, and Lin Fan would not interfere. Lin Fan picked up his phone out of habit. At this moment, a text message appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,489,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Lin Fan was already used to this, and his expression did not change at all. Then, he turned his attention to the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 51% of Da Mi Group¡¯s shares.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s expression changed slightly. Da Mi Group was involved in many industries such as cell phones, television, air conditioning, and so on. Moreover, they were doing well in each industry. Lin Fan remembered that he had used Da Mi¡¯s phone before. At that time, Lin Fan had to spend a long time in front of the computer before he succeeded. The functions and price of the Da Mi phone did not disappoint Lin Fan. Today, Da Mi Corporation¡¯s market value had exceeded 500 billion yuan. 51% of the shares, which meant¡­ His assets had increased by another 50 billion yuan? Thinking of this, Lin Fan rubbed his nose. At this moment, a gust of wind blew over from afar. The curtains rustled in the wind, and the cabinet door that was not closed slowly opened. In the next moment, Lin Fan was attracted by the neatly folded white bedsheets with a touch of red. He looked at the bedsheet and thought of the first time he met Xu Jingrou. He could not help but smile. After a while, Lin Fan slowly got up from the bed. After he came to the living room, he picked up his chopsticks and ate the lean meat noodles on the table. He nodded and said, ¡°It tastes good!¡± After finishing the noodles, Lin Fan did not stay in the house for long. He leisurely walked downstairs. He walked along the winding sidewalk and watched the old men in the park playing chess while quarreling. He observed the cars speeding along the road and passersby walking in a hurry. Not long after, many tall buildings appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s vision. Lin Fan swept his gaze over, and it landed on the Da Mi Building. He rubbed his nose and muttered, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to accidentally walk here.¡± Chapter 378 - 378 Receiving Da Mi Group; Welcome! (2) 378 Receiving Da Mi Group; Welcome! (2) At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown number from Jingbei. Lin Fan did not hesitate and answered the call. ¡°Excuse me, are you Mr. Lin Fan?¡± The voice on the other end of the phone was clearly not fluent in the language of Hua Nation. When Lin Fan heard this voice, he immediately knew who it was. It was the CEO of Da Mi Group, Leibs! That was because Lin Fan used to watch Leibs¡¯ live broadcast speech often. ¡°You¡¯re CEO Leibs, right? I¡¯m Lin Fan,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Mr. Lin, you¡¯re really amazing. You guessed me right away,¡± said Leibs excitedly. Lin Fan thought to himself, ¡®With your half-baked language, it¡¯s hard not to guess!¡¯ ¡°Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your trust in our Da Mi Group. You¡¯ve directly purchased 51% of the shares, allowing us to have more funds and thus obtain better development opportunities.¡± Even though that was what Leibs said, in reality? His heart was bleeding and filled with regret. Back then, in order to develop the company, he had no choice but to dilute and sell a large number of shares. It was not easy for him to develop Da Mi Group into a company that was influential in Hua Nation today. In the end, Leibs suddenly realized that 51% of the company¡¯s shares had been collected by someone else. More than half of the shares! This was equivalent to the company that he had founded completely becoming someone else¡¯s. As long as the other party wanted to, he could easily replace him as the CEO. Lin Fan randomly came up with a reason and said, ¡°I only made a small investment. It¡¯s because you¡¯re capable that Da Mi Group is doing well.¡± He could only say this. Even if he said it out loud, Leibs would not believe it. ¡°Thank you for your praise, Mr. Lin. ¡°Our Da Mi Group has just moved into a new building. I wonder when you¡¯ll be free? Can you come and give us some guidance? ¡°In addition, we still need your approval for our future plans.¡± ¡°Review the plans and guide the company?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. The reason why I invested in Da Mi Group is because I believe in your abilities. ¡°Therefore, everything should still develop slowly according to the direction you set.¡± When Leibs heard this, his face revealed a look of unconcealable joy. Da Mi Group was his blood and sweat. In his eyes, it was like his own child. Leibs had already laid out a very complete route for the development of Da Mi Group. He believed that as long as he followed this path, Da Mi Group would eventually become a first-class enterprise that stood at the top of the world! However, if this major shareholder, Lin Fan, suddenly intervened and made changes¡­ If it was just a small change, it would be nothing. However, if the core was changed, what would happen to Da Mi Group? This was something that Leibs had always been worried about. Now, he could finally relax. However, Leibs still had a regretful tone as he said, ¡°Then I can only follow your instructions and slowly develop.¡± Even though Leibs did not sound happy, how could Lin Fan not tell what was the true situation? However, he did not care too much about it. Every time Leibs did a live broadcast, Lin Fan could easily feel his love for Da Mi Group. Lin Fan continued, ¡°I¡¯m not far from Da Mi Group¡¯s building. I¡¯ll go and take a look inside.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Leibs said excitedly. ¡°I¡¯ll go downstairs to welcome you!¡± As for welcoming him¡­ Lin Fan was not really interested. However, he remembered that the security guards did not know him at all. What if he was not allowed to go upstairs later? In addition, he was not familiar with Da Mi Group¡¯s office building at all, so he did need a guide. ¡°Alright.¡± He nodded. After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan walked slowly toward Da Mi Group¡¯s office building. As for Leibs, he was busy. He hurriedly walked out of the office and said to the very capable male secretary outside the door, ¡°Quick, inform all the management level above P7 to line up and gather on the first floor of the building as soon as possible!¡± In the eyes of outsiders, Leibs was an entrepreneur who would joke around. In the eyes of the male secretary, Leibs was a steady, calm, and capable man. The male secretary had never seen Leibs so anxious before. What exactly happened? The male secretary did not dare to hesitate at all and hurriedly said, ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± Then, he quickly dialed a number. The next moment, a large group of men and women in suits and leather shoes stopped what they were doing and rushed downstairs. Moreover, under Leibs¡¯ arrangements, they all stood neatly. This scene caught the attention of all the employees. Qiao Shiya was one of them. A few months ago, due to Qiao Shiya¡¯s poor performance at the Internet Conference, she was forced to leave. She was fired from the company. After that, she had no choice but to look for a new job in Jiangbei. However, all the major internet companies in Jiangbei attended the conference. After seeing Qiao Shiya¡¯s performance, they naturally would not choose to accept her. As for some small companies, the pay was low and the workload was high. Qiao Shiya tried to work for a period of time, but she could not persist at all. Qiao Shiya hesitated for a long time. In the end, she still chose to come to the capital. In Jingbei¡­ she was a completely new face. At the same time, the overall salary and benefits far surpassed the jobs in Jiangbei. After spending a long time preparing, Qiao Shiya successfully entered Da Mi Group. At this moment, Qiao Shiya also noticed the movement in the hall on the first floor. She could not help but ask in puzzlement, ¡°Why do I feel like a lot of leaders have gone downstairs?¡± Beside her, a man wearing black glasses said, ¡°I just received news that all the management levels above P7 in the company were dispatched.¡± Qiao Shiya was quite good-looking, and the black-rimmed glasses man had always had feelings for her. Therefore, he directly told her what he knew. ¡°All of them?¡± Qiao Shiya was even more confused. The black-rimmed glasses man said, ¡°Yes, look¡­ Director Huang, Director Liu, and Director Lei all went down.¡± Then, they watched as Leibs personally instructed the leaders above level P7 to line up. Seeing this scene, the black-rimmed glasses man said, ¡°They seem to be welcoming someone. So many leaders are welcoming that person together¡­ Even the last time when the big leader of Jingbei came, we didn¡¯t make such a big scene out of it. ¡°This time¡­ I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s a higher-up!¡± As the black-rimmed glasses man said this, his eyes flashed faintly. As a man, he could not help but feel a sense of yearning when facing a big leader. Qiao Shiya, who was beside him, could not help but look over even more attentively. At this moment, a tall and handsome figure appeared in the hall. At the same time, Leibs hurriedly went forward and said excitedly, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin!¡± Then, the leaders above level P7 who were standing neatly shouted in unison, ¡°Welcome, Mr. Lin!¡± This scene¡­ The black-rimmed glasses man was surprised. ¡°Mr. Lin? CEO Lei and the others are actually welcoming such a young man?¡± Compared to the black-rimmed glasses man¡¯s surprise, Qiao Shiya was completely stunned. Lin Fan! It was Lin Fan! The CEO of Da Mi Group and the employees above management level P7 were all downstairs to welcome him! What was his identity? The black-rimmed glasses man saw that Qiao Shiya had been paying attention to the lobby and thought that she was very curious about the young man who Leibs and the others were welcoming. Hence, he quickly did a search online on his phone. ¡°No wonder CEO Lei and the others want to welcome Mr. Lin. Shiya, don¡¯t look at how young Mr. Lin is. He¡¯s actually the largest shareholder of our Da Mi Group!¡± When Qiao Shiya heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly. Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder of Da Mi Group! How much money would that be? If¡­ If¡­ she had agreed to go out with him during the blind date. Then she would have been the wife of the major shareholder of Da Mi Group. Now, Leibs and the other leaders were all waiting to welcome Lin Fan! Thinking of this¡­ Qiao Shiya was filled with endless regret. She even shed a tear of regret. Chapter 379 - 379 Regret; Apologize! (1) 379 Regret; Apologize! (1) Under the company of Leibs and many other leaders, Lin Fan strolled around Da Mi Group¡¯s office building. ¡°This is the editorial department. They¡¯re mainly in charge of Da Mi Group¡¯s live broadcast, news, product promotion, planning, and so on. ¡°The product development department is in front. They¡¯re mainly responsible for the development of new cell phones and smart home appliances.¡± ¡­ Every time they went to a place, Leibs would enthusiastically introduce it in detail. After a while, Leibs arrived at the IT department. At this moment, Qiao Shiya and the black-rimmed glasses man were sitting near the corner. Like before, Lebs introduced, ¡°Mr. Lin, this is the IT department. They¡¯re mainly responsible for the network architecture, software development, and so on.¡± The employees who were originally working stood up one after another and said respectfully, ¡°Hello, CEO Lei!¡± Leibs pointed at Lin Fan and introduced, ¡°This is Mr. Lin, the largest shareholder of our Da Mi Group!¡± Many of the employees were shocked. Lin Fan was simply too young. However, the employees reacted quickly and immediately said, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin!¡± Compared to the ordinary employees¡¯ surprise, Qiao Shiya¡¯s entire heart felt as if it had been hit by a hammer. It was true! It really was Lin Fan! Furthermore, Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder of Da Mi Group! Qiao Shiya recalled the scene of the blind date back then, and tears of regret flowed out of the corners of her eyes again. Lin Fan just glanced at Qiao Shiya casually and did not care. Following that, under the lead of Leibs and the rest, Lin Fan continued walking forward. The man with the black-rimmed glasses looked at the retreating figures of Lin Fan and the others and exclaimed, ¡°So young! I never thought that the major shareholder of our Da Mi Group would be so young. ¡°In fact, it feels like he¡¯s about our age, right?¡± Qiao Shiya shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­¡± At this moment, the phone in her pocket rang. Qiao Shiya looked at the caller ID. It was her mother. Hence, Qiao Shiya picked up her phone and walked out before picking up the call. ¡°Shiya, when will you get your salary this month? Your brother¡¯s rent is due.¡± As soon as she picked up the phone, her mother, Chen Minfen¡¯s, loud voice sounded from the other end of the phone. Qiao Shiya said, ¡°It should be in these two days.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good!¡± Chen Minfen said with satisfaction. ¡°By the way, there are many rich people in Jingbei. Hurry up and find a rich boyfriend. That way, your brother will have money to study and buy a house in the future!¡± After saying that, Qiao Shiya immediately thought of Lin Fan. Two streams of hot tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes again. She sobbed, ¡°There¡¯s no more, no more¡­¡± ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Chen Minfen was puzzled. ¡­ Lin Fan did not care about Qiao Shiya¡¯s reaction at all. He spent the entire morning strolling around Da Mi Group¡¯s office building. It was time for lunch. Leibs had wanted to invite Lin Fan to a high-class hotel for a meal. However, Lin Fan suggested that they eat at the company cafeteria. Thus, everyone went to the third floor together. After they arrived, the employees in the queue shouted, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin and CEO Lei!¡± Lin Fan had to admit that the food in the canteen of Da Mi Group¡¯s office building was pretty good. There was beef, chicken, duck, vegetables, meat soup, and so on. The dishes were all exquisite and delicious. Lin Fan was very satisfied. After eating his fill, Lin Fan did not stay in Da Mi Group for long. Instead, he continued to stroll around Jingbei. He passed through wide streets, narrow alleys, overlapping high-rise buildings, and ancient courtyards¡­ Gradually, Lin Fan started to feel tired. When Lin Fan raised his head and saw a small restaurant called Zhou Ji Zhajiang Noodles, he muttered, ¡°Anyway, I don¡¯t have anything much to do. I¡¯ll go to the Zhou family to take a look.¡± After all, he had met Qiu Kai yesterday and said that he wanted to visit Old Master Zhou. Lin Fan waved for a taxi and said, ¡°Soaring Road No. 1.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± the driver replied. He stepped on the accelerator and sped forward. Lin Fan sat in the car and looked at the scenery of Jingbei. He had a different feeling. Perhaps it was because he had been driving for too long and was bored, the driver said, ¡°You should be a foreigner, right?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°You can tell?¡± ¡°The locals usually don¡¯t go to Soaring Road because the people who live there are all very important people,¡± explained the driver. ¡°Although the buildings on Soaring Road are very beautiful, if we go over there and accidentally bump into a big shot, it¡¯ll be too late for regrets. ¡°Later¡­ Just look from afar. Don¡¯t offend anyone.¡± Lin Fan knew that the other party had good intentions. He nodded and said, ¡°Thank you for the reminder. I¡¯m just going to Special Road No. 1 as a guest.¡± The driver looked at Lin Fan with a strange expression and smiled. ¡°Bro, your serious look is really scary!¡± Obviously, the driver thought that Lin Fan was bragging. Was that not so? Soaring Road No. 1, what kind of place was that? It was the residence of the Zhou family, one of the top families in Hua Nation! Was this a place that ordinary people could enter as guests? As for those who could enter as guests, which one of them was not picked up by a luxury car? Chapter 380 - 380 Regret; Apologize! (2) 380 Regret; Apologize! (2) How could someone take a taxi? Perhaps the driver felt that Lin Fan was not sincere enough. Therefore, he could not be bothered to chat with him anymore. A moment later, the driver stepped on the brakes and stopped in front of a gorgeous manor. This¡­ It was the Zhou family¡¯s residence at Soaring Road No. 1. After Lin Fan paid the money, he strode forward. The driver looked at the red light in the distance and could not be bothered to drive forward immediately. He looked at Lin Fan¡¯s figure from afar and sneered, ¡°He¡¯s really going to Soaring Road No. 1. This guy is too good at pretending. If he really has the ability, let me see if he can just walk in.¡± As Lin Fan got closer and closer to the entrance of Soaring Road No. 1, the smile on the driver¡¯s face grew wider. In the next moment¡­ The driver froze. That was because the two security guards standing at the door quickly went up to Lin Fan when they saw him. One of them even led him in very respectfully. This young man¡­ He was really a guest of the Zhou family! Heavens! What kind of big shot was he? Just as the driver was in a daze, a honk sounded from behind. It turned out that the taxi had stopped for too long and the red light had turned green. Only then did the driver put away his thoughts and forcefully suppress the shock in his heart. He suddenly stepped on the accelerator and sped into the distance. ¡­ Even though Lin Fan had come to the Zhou family a few months ago and had seen the tall rockery, the clear stream, and the colorful flowers¡­ When he saw them again, he could not help but sigh in admiration. It was extremely beautiful. A moment later, he arrived at the main hall of the Zhou family. ¡°Long time no see, Little Brother Lin!¡± Zhou Guotao laughed heartily. Obviously, the Zhou family¡­ was all waiting for Lin Fan¡­ This young man was only in his 20s! If there were outsiders here, their jaws would definitely drop to the ground in shock. This was the Zhou family, one of the top families in Hua Nation! Even if Lin Fan had saved Old Master Zhou¡¯s life, he did not need to be so polite, right? However, ordinary people did not know that Lin Fan was a member of the Dragon Division. At the same time, he also saved the lives of Old Master Zhang Jian¡¯s grandson and Old Master Qin Weiming¡¯s grandson. In addition, Lin Fan invented the earthquake prediction device, super battery, and medicine to treat diabetes. He also solved many math problems. These¡­ It made Lin Fan befriend the Zhou family, the Zhang family, and the Qin family. Furthermore, he became the pillar of the country! Zhou Guotao understood that as long as Lin Fan wanted to¡­ In the future, he would definitely not be weaker than the Zhou family. In fact, he would far surpass the Zhou family! Lin Fan said, ¡°Old Master Zhou, long time no see.¡± The two of them talked as they walked inside, laughing from time to time. Zhou Guotao had already treated Lin Fan as someone of the same generation. At this moment, a man in a suit walked over and said respectfully, ¡°Old Master, Feng Baohua, the head of the Feng family, brought a few people from the Feng family and said that he¡¯s here to apologize.¡± Zhou Guotao did not reply immediately. He looked at Lin Fan and said, ¡°Little Brother Lin, do you want to meet them?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see what they have to say first,¡± Lin Fan said. Zhou Guotao nodded at the man in a suit. After a while, Feng Baohua, who had white hair on his temples, and Feng Jiaqi, who had been beaten up till his face looked like a pig¡¯s head yesterday, walked over. The Feng family was based in Jingbei¡­ It could even be said that they had a certain reputation in the entire Hua Nation. In the past, no matter where the Feng family went, they could be arrogant. However, at this moment, they were all hunched over, extremely nervous. Feng Baohua said, ¡°Greetings, Old Master Zhou.¡± Zhou Guotao only replied with a soft hum, his attitude extremely cold. Feng Baohua became even more flustered and hurriedly said, ¡°Yesterday¡¯s matter was due to our Feng family¡¯s lack of discipline. Today, we specially came over to apologize¡­¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t offend me; you offended Little Brother Lin!¡± Zhou Guotao said indifferently. Feng Baohua followed Zhou Guotao¡¯s finger. Yesterday, he had already found out about Lin Fan from Feng Jiaqi. He also knew that Lin Fan was very young. However, after seeing him, he could not help but be shocked. Such a young man had actually made the old master of the Zhou family personally question him. Moreover, he had even let out a thunderous rage. From last night to this morning, all of the Feng family¡¯s businesses had suffered a terrible blow. Many of his business partners had severed all ties with the Feng family. ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry. Our Feng family isn¡¯t strict with our discipline. This has caused a junior to bully others¡­¡± Feng Baohua hurriedly said. At this point, Feng Baohua turned to Feng Jiaqi and shouted, ¡°Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Lin!¡± Feng Jiaqi was so frightened that he trembled and knelt on the ground. He said in a trembling voice, ¡°M-Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s all my fault. I was blinded by greed. I beg you¡­ I beg you, please forgive me¡­¡± As he spoke, snot and tears flowed down his face. Yesterday, after Feng Jiaqi returned to the Feng family, he was scolded badly. Some said that they were going to kidnap him and send him to the Zhou family. Some said that they should break his four limbs to show the Feng family¡¯s sincerity. Some said that he had to kneel in front of the Zhou family¡¯s door for three days and three nights. ¡­ Lin Fan looked at Feng Jiaqi¡¯s pitiful face and said, ¡°Feng Jiaqi has learned his lesson. Let¡¯s forget about this matter.¡± Feng Jiaqi was so excited that he could not stop kowtowing. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Lin, thank you.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mr. Lin¡­¡± Feng Guohua also said. Then, his gaze fell on Zhou Guotao. ¡°Little Brother Lin is kind-hearted, so he easily forgave you¡­¡± Zhou Guotao said. ¡°However, I don¡¯t want something like this to happen again.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes¡­ I promise that this will never happen again,¡± Feng Guo Hua replied repeatedly. ¡°Alright, you can go now,¡± Zhou Guotao said. Then, Zhou Guotao, Lin Fan, and the core members of the Zhou family sat in the living room and chatted. At night, they had a sumptuous dinner together. Lin Fan was undoubtedly the main character of the banquet. Originally, the Zhou family wanted Lin Fan to stay. However, Lin Fan realized that Xu Jingrou might still be waiting for him at home. Hence, he tactfully declined. ¡­ When Lin Fan arrived at Unit 2104, Xu Jingrou had just taken a shower. There were still a few drops of water on her snow-white skin. Under the illumination of the light, her skin was as translucent as jade, and the water droplets were as translucent as gems embedded on the surface. Coupled with Xu Jingrou¡¯s voluptuous figure and exquisite facial features¡­ Her entire person was like a perfect piece of art. Lin Fan was stunned for a moment. Xu Jingrou saw that Lin Fan was staring at her with his naked eyes. She blushed and said, ¡°Why are you standing at the door? Why aren¡¯t you coming in?¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Ah¡­ Alright¡­¡± Lin Fan replied. The moonlight was like a blanket, and the ground was like a bed. ¡­. It was a sleepless night. ¡­. The next day, the sky was bright. When Lin Fan opened his eyes, Xu Jingrou had already changed and was about to leave. When she saw that Lin Fan had woken up, she said, ¡°Breakfast is on the table. I¡¯m leaving.¡± After saying that, she hurriedly walked out. Lin Fan smiled and shook his head. He looked at his phone. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,598,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, Lin Fan turned his attention to the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained ten units of Ocean Villa Lavie.] Ocean Villa Lavie. Lin Fan was rather familiar with this name. This was because he had seen this villa often when he was watching reels a while ago. According to the reels, this was the most luxurious villa in the capital, and each one cost more than one billion yuan. In addition, even if one had money, one might not be able to buy it. One had to have an extremely high status. It was even rumored that when President Ma wanted to buy a villa, he did not succeed. Now, he had directly obtained ten villas? They were worth tens of billions? It seemed¡­ not bad. Then, Lin Fan slowly got out of bed and leisurely ate the noodles on the table. Chapter 381 - 381 Receiving the Award; A Wonderful Speech! 381 Receiving the Award; A Wonderful Speech! Lin Fan had just finished the noodles on the table when the phone in his pocket rang. He looked at the caller ID. It was the dean of the Mathematics Department, Hu Chuan. ¡°Lin Fan, where are you now? Why aren¡¯t you at Huaqing University yet? The Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize Ceremony is about to begin!¡± As soon as the call connected, Hu Chuan¡¯s anxious voice sounded. Lin Fan finally remembered that today was the day of the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize Ceremony. He said, ¡°I¡¯ll be right there!¡± After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan hailed a taxi and sped toward Huaqing University. After all, this award was related to the mission. Soon, he arrived at Huaqing University. At this moment, Hu Chuan was waiting anxiously at the school gate. When he saw Lin Fan getting out of the taxi, he quickly went up to him and said, ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re finally here. Let¡¯s go in quickly.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied. Under Hu Chuan¡¯s urging, the two of them arrived at the auditorium in no time. At this moment, a bright banner hung in front of the auditorium¡ªShiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Award Ceremony! Below them were men and women who wore glasses and looked very refined and knowledgeable. At this moment, a middle-aged man in formal attire standing on the podium said in an extremely excited voice, ¡°Thank you very much for attending this year¡¯s Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Award Ceremony. I am the host of this year¡¯s award ceremony, Yu Lehua.¡± The entire venue immediately erupted into extremely enthusiastic applause. Then, Yu Lehua spoke on stage about the development of mathematics, its impact on society, and the great mathematicians. About ten minutes later, Yu Lehua said, ¡°Today, I¡¯m honored to hold this event at Huaqing University. I¡¯m here to announce the winners of this year¡¯s Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize! ¡°He¡¯s young, but he solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture which hasn¡¯t been solved for nearly 20 years, and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture which hasn¡¯t been solved for more than 100 years. Some people say that he¡¯s the world¡¯s number one in prime number research. He¡¯s the closest man to solving Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis! ¡°Just when everyone thought that he was going to try his best to solve Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis, he solved an abstract algebra problem that was unsolvable for nearly 40 years, the Hail Conjecture! ¡°However, his mathematics journey didn¡¯t end there. Soon, he challenged the Hodge Conjecture and succeeded! ¡°It¡¯s Lin Fan from Jiangbei University!¡± As one achievement after another was announced, the atmosphere at the scene had already reached its climax. When Lin Fan¡¯s name was called out, the crowd immediately erupted into thunderous applause. Yu Lehua handed over the medal and microphone and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, do you have anything to say to everyone?¡± The entire auditorium fell silent. Everyone turned their attention to Lin Fan, anticipating what he would say next. At this moment, many people picked up their phones and were ready to record. Lin Fan slowly opened his mouth and said, ¡°Thank you, everyone.¡± Everyone was still staring at his mouth. They were looking forward to it. However, there was nothing more? Lin Fan did not open his mouth again! When Lin Fan saw Yu Lehua standing at the side in a daze, he could not help but cast a glance at him. Only then did Yu Lehua react. He stuttered, ¡°Ah¡­ Ah¡­ Thank you, Lin Fan, for your wonderful speech.¡± Wonderful speech? A ¡®thank you¡¯ was also considered a wonderful speech? The crowd below the stage froze. The corners of their mouths twitched slightly, but they still applauded. Yu Lehua seemed to have realized that he had said something wrong, and a rare look of embarrassment appeared on his face. After Lin Fan left the stage, Yu Lehua continued, ¡°This figure made a major discovery in abstract geometry and successfully published a thesis in Mathematics Chronicle¡­ ¡°It¡¯s Liu Peng from Huaqing University!¡± Then, a man in his 40s in a white shirt stepped forward. This time, the applause was much less than Lin Fan¡¯s. It was no wonder. Major discovery in abstract geometry? Mathematics Chronicle? These¡­ Compared to Lin Fan¡¯s achievements, it was like comparing the sun to a firefly. There was no comparison at all. In reality, a large part of the reason why many people were here today was because of Lin Fan. Then, Liu Peng gave a long speech that he had already prepared. Lin Fan did not care about that at all. After he returned to his seat, he immediately turned his attention to the mission system. [Mission: Win five international awards (1/5). Reward: Five golden packets.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up. Sure enough, the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize was an international award. Hu Chuan looked at Liu Peng, who was talking about a series of great principles, and sighed. ¡°Lin Fan, why didn¡¯t you say much earlier? You didn¡¯t prepare a speech?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I say thank you?¡± Hu Chuan¡¯s lips twitched, but he did not know what to say. At this moment, the super smart watch on Lin Fan¡¯s wrist flashed slightly. Then, all the electronic devices that had taken photos of Lin Fan flashed. After Liu Peng¡¯s passionate speech, a few other seniors from the mathematics world went up to speak. At this point, the award ceremony for the Shiing-Chern Mathematics Prize had officially ended. Many scholars and experts left in an orderly manner. Some people discussed it as they walked. ¡°I heard that Lin Fan was very young. I didn¡¯t expect him to be so young.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! He¡¯s so mysterious. There are no photos of him on the internet.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that what he said was a little¡­ too simple.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not important. What¡¯s important is that I¡¯ve already filmed him.¡± As he spoke, he took out his phone. However, at the next moment, he was a little puzzled. ¡°What happened? I remember recording him.¡± ¡­ In reality, it was not just him. All the images of Lin Fan had disappeared into thin air. Clearly, it was Lil White¡¯s doing. ¡­ After walking out of the auditorium, Lin Fan walked slowly along the winding path. He looked at the clear lake, the verdant trees, the ancient buildings, and the walking students¡­ He could not help but compare Huaqing University with Jiangbei University. In comparison, Huaqing University was richer in history and had a stronger learning atmosphere. Jiangbei University, on the other hand, seemed more relaxed and relaxed. Each had their own characteristics. However, Lin Fan did not wander around Huaqing University for too long. This was because the two old men who were over 50 years old and would occasionally let out a laugh were following him. He really could not raise his interest. No wonder Hu Chuan and Song Guotao were so happy. One had to know¡­ this was the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize! In the past, they could only look up with their mouths open. Now, someone from their school had actually won a medal! Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s about time, right? Let¡¯s go back to the hotel to pack up and return to Jiangbei.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Hu Chuan chuckled again. Chapter 382 - 382 Returning to School; Trouble with the Song Family! 382 Returning to School; Trouble with the Song Family! At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. 12:00 PM! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,888 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a herbal tea recipe.] ¡­ This time, Lin Fan received a total of 32,189 yuan and a herbal tea recipe. Regarding the 32,189 yuan, Lin Fan naturally did not mind at all. He immediately turned his attention to the herbal tea recipe. [Herbal Tea Recipe: A drink that refreshes the heart and mind, reduces internal heat, nourishes the stomach, and maintains beauty.] Then, a complete recipe for making herbal tea appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan touched his nose and thought, ¡°Herbal tea? It doesn¡¯t seem to be of much use.¡± If he wanted to drink tea, he could just brew some Spirit Tea. Why go through so much trouble? Lin Fan, Hu Chuan, and Song Guotao had lunch and packed their things at the hotel before they sat in the first-class cabin. ¡­ Jiangbei City, Song family. Song Wenming slowly hung up the call. ¡°Old Master, what did King Herbal Tea say?¡± Song Yichen asked hurriedly. Instantly, the entire hall fell silent. Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with worry. Back then, the old man of the Song family, Song Wenming, had accidentally come across a delicious herbal tea. He thought that there was a big market for it, so he opened a herbal tea shop. The facts proved that Song Wenming had a very unique vision! The business of the herbal tea shop was very good. Gradually, he began to open branches. After that, he made a gamble, built a factory, and expanded the business to Jiangbei City, Jiang Province¡­ and even the entire country! Song Herbal Tea¡¯s development momentum was just right. However, they found out that the recipe that Song Herbal Tea used belonged to an ancestral recipe, and the man, Wang Hu, had already registered a patent for it. Therefore, Song Wenming wanted to buy the patent. However, Wang Hu proposed a condition of only renting and not selling. After some consideration, Song Wenming still chose to accept it. This lease lasted for more than ten years. It was Song Herbal Tea that made the Song family one of the top families in Jiangbei and even Jiang Province! Seeing that Song Herbal Tea¡¯s sales were so high, Wang Hu founded a company called King Herbal Tea a few years ago. The taste and effects were all exactly the same. However, the sales of King Herbal Tea were always very poor. In fact, they were less than one-tenth of Song Herbal Tea. A few days ago, when the Song family was preparing to pay the patent fees for the next year, Wang Hu suddenly suggested not to rent the formula to the Song family. The entire Song family instantly became gloomy. The Song family might be wealthy and powerful now, but the sales of Song Herbal Tea were huge. Correspondingly, the factories, workers, machinery, and raw materials¡­ There were also many of them. If they could continue to produce and sell herbal tea, the Song family¡¯s power would also increase. If the market gradually shrank, the Song family needed to slowly reduce production and safely withdraw. It was very fatal to suddenly stop production like this. Song Yichen said, ¡°If it really doesn¡¯t work, let¡¯s use No. 5 Herbal Tea to replace the herbal tea we have now?¡± No. 5 Herbal Tea? In fact, Song Wenming had great foresight. He understood that renting the herbal tea recipe was like having someone choking him. There would be a problem one day. Therefore, he set up a research and development department a long time ago and created several herbal tea formulas that belonged to him. He then quietly introduced them to the market as new products. However, even though these new products were heavily promoted, there were not many sales. This made the Song family very helpless. The No. 5 Herbal Tea that Song Yichen was talking about was a type of herbal tea that had been recently developed. Its taste and effects were very similar to those of the old-fashioned herbal tea. Of course, it was only similar. ¡°That¡¯s the only way,¡± Song Wenming thought for a moment and said. Song Jiaxin, who had always been carefree, sighed slightly when she heard the conversation between the elders. Future Group. Sun Luguo: [Sister Jiaxin, how is Song Herbal Tea doing now? Our Sun family can take out some funds to help with the turnover.] Liu Zhenyu: [Our Liu family can do it too!] Duan Qian: [And our Duan family!] Zhang Bin: [Our Zhang family has no problem with helping out either!] Tan Shengyu: [And the Tan family!] Song Jiaxin: [Thank you for your kind intentions. When I need it, I¡¯ll definitely ask for it.] Song Jiaxin: [Let¡¯s not talk for now. I still have some things to deal with here.] Tan Shengyu: [Do you guys think Brother Lin Fan knows about this?] Duan Qian: [I think so. Isn¡¯t Brother Lin Fan in the same class as Sister Jiaxin?] Tan Shengyu: [That¡¯s true. However, this herbal tea problem¡­ is indeed not easy to resolve.] The few of them chatted in the Future Group for a while before falling silent. ¡­ Lin Fan returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa and played with his phone for a while. Then, he lay down on the soft bed and fell into a deep sleep. In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. He glanced at his phone out of habit. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,532,900 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, he turned his attention to the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,000,000 yuan.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan could not help but mumble, ¡°Did my luck run out again?¡± After breakfast, he drove the Cullinan straight to Jiangbei University. At that moment, a bright banner hung in front of the gate of Jiangbei University. ¡®We warmly congratulate our school¡¯s Lin Fan on winning the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize!¡¯ Lin Fan was already used to seeing such banners, so he did not pay much attention to it. After arriving at the classroom¡­ ¡°Brother Lin Fan, how was the capital?¡± Song Yi asked excitedly. ¡°Was it fun?¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Not bad!¡± ¡°Did you meet any pretty girls?¡± Zheng Jinbao asked. Beside them, Song Yi and Ma Zhong could not help but perk up their ears. Obviously, they were very concerned about this matter. When he heard the words ¡®pretty girls¡¯, Lin Fan could not help but think of Xu Jingrou, and his lips curled up. Zheng Jinbao seemed to have understood something. He gave a thumbs up and praised, ¡°As expected of Brother Lin Fan!¡± ¡°Brother Lin Fan, awesome!¡± Song Yi said. ¡°Awesome!¡± Ma Zhong said. At this moment, a crisp bell rang throughout the entire campus. The old professor walked in slowly with a book in his arms. He first scanned the classroom with his turbid eyes. When he saw Lin Fan, his eyes lit up. The old professor ¡®loved¡¯ Lin Fan to the bone. First, he won the Higher Education Cup, then he solved several math problems¡­ Now, he even won the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize! Most importantly, Lin Fan had been studying very hard. It could be seen from how he slept in class every day. After a while, the old professor picked up the name list and said, ¡°Today, I¡¯ll do the roll call first.¡± The management of the university was very loose, and most of them relied on self-study. The professors rarely called attendance. However, that did not mean that they never called out names. Otherwise, how would the credits be distributed? ¡°Ma Zhong!¡± ¡°Here!¡± ¡­ ¡°Lin Fan!¡± ¡°Here!¡± ¡­ ¡°Wang Xinhui!¡± ¡°Here!¡± ¡­ Chapter 383 - 383 We Dont Understand; I Do! 383 We Don¡¯t Understand; I Do! The professor¡¯s lecture was like a lullaby that made Lin Fan drowsy. However, Lin Fan did not feel sleepy at all. ¡°Song Jiaxin!¡± the old professor said. The classroom was silent. ¡°Song Jiaxin!¡± The old professor called out again and glanced around the classroom. After a while, there was still no response. Therefore, the old professor picked up a pen and drew a line behind the name. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan could not help but glance at Song Xin¡¯s seat. As expected, there was no one at the spot. The time in school was like flowing water, passing in the blink of an eye. Song Jiaxin did not come to the classroom even after school. However, Lin Fan did not take it to heart. After all, skipping class¡­ To university students, it was nothing. Moreover, it was Song Jiaxin. Lin Fan drove the Cullinan forward. Looking at the traffic jam in front of him, he could not help but turn the steering wheel and take another path. At this moment, a restaurant called Gu He appeared in front of him. Gu He¡¯s decorations were very unique. In addition, there were many luxury cars parked at the entrance. The dining environment was good, and it made people have an appetite. There were luxury cars at the door, which proved that the taste of the food was definitely not bad. As he walked through the door, he was greeted by a fragrance that whetted his appetite. The waiter standing at the side said respectfully, ¡°Welcome to Gu He Restaurant.¡± Lin Fan nodded and was about to continue walking forward when¡­ Not far away, he unexpectedly saw an acquaintance¡­ Tan Shengyu! The first time he met Tan Shengyu was when he was racing on the mountain road. Then, it was Song Jiaxin¡¯s birthday party, and then the car show¡­ After that, Tan Shengyu organized a dinner party and invited Lin Fan, Song Jiaxin, Sun Luguo, Liu Yuhang, and the others. It was also because of that dinner that Lin Fan and these rich young masters had a deeper connection. That was how Lin Fan had helped them buy stocks to earn money. As for Tan Shengyu and the rest, they truly treated Lin Fan as a good brother. When the young master of Aiya Corporation offended Lin Fan, Tan Shengyu and the others worked together to destroy Aiya Corporation. When Lin Fan saw Tan Shengyu, he turned around and saw Lin Fan. He said excitedly, ¡°Brother Lin Fan!¡± As he spoke, he hurriedly went up to her. ¡°Haha! Brother Lin Fan, are you here to eat too?¡± ¡°Yeah,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°That¡¯s good. How about we go together?¡± Tan Shengyu said. ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°I¡¯ll get the waiter to arrange a private room for us!¡± Tan Shengyu said happily. Lin Fan waved his hand. ¡°No need. It¡¯s more lively to eat outside.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Tan Shengyu said. ¡°Then we¡¯ll sit outside.¡± Earlier, Tan Shengyu was with a pure-looking woman in Chanel and a man in Armani¡­ They looked at Lin Fan in confusion. After all, it was rare for Tan Shengyu to be so passionate toward someone of the same generation. It could even be said that he was trying to curry favor with him. Especially since it was someone from the same generation as them but they did not know Lin Fan at all. After taking their seats, Tan Shengyu pointed at the pure-looking woman and the man and introduced them, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, this is Gao Lan and Zhu Weifeng. ¡°Young Master Sun, Young Master Liu, and I all call him Brother Lin Fan. You guys can call him Brother Lin Fan too.¡± When Gao Lan and Zhu Weifeng heard this, their hearts could not help but tremble slightly. They naturally knew who Tan Shengyu was referring to when he mentioned Young Master Sun and Young Master Liu. It was definitely Sun Luguo and Liu Yuhang! They were top young masters in Jiang Province. Especially after Sun Pharmaceuticals and Liu Pharmaceuticals obtained the human islet recovery medicine. Even Sun Luguo and Liu Yuhang had to address the person in front of them as Brother Lin Fan? The identity of this person is It was a little scary. Gao Lan and Zhu Weifeng looked at Lin Fan with respect. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°We¡¯re all friends. Let¡¯s just be casual.¡± While the few of them were chatting, exquisite dishes were slowly served. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, this is Gu He¡¯s specialty, the golden pufferfish!¡± Tan Shengyu introduced. ¡°The taste is very good!¡± After a pause, he explained, ¡°The pufferfish here are all artificially bred. The chefs who have ten years of experience in cooking pufferfish have perfectly removed all the toxins in the pufferfish. At the same time, they retain the fish¡¯s freshness, fragrance, and tenderness to the greatest extent. It¡¯s very delicious!¡± Lin Fan was already a little hungry. With such an introduction, he could not hold back anymore. He picked up the spoon in front of him, scooped a spoonful of white pufferfish meat, and put it into his mouth. ¡°Gulp!¡± Fresh, fragrant, tender! Indeed, it was exactly as Tan Shengyu had said! ¡°Brother Lin Fan, how does it taste?¡± Tan Shengyu asked.¡± ¡°Not bad!¡± Lin Fan said. When Tan Shengyu heard this, he was as happy as a child hearing a teacher¡¯s praise. Gao Lan and Zhu Weifeng saw everything and were even more shocked by Lin Fan¡¯s identity. They knew that Lin Fan definitely had an extraordinary status. They had to find a topic to talk about and try to build a relationship with him. However, they did not know what to say. ¡°I¡¯ll invite everyone over after I¡¯m done with Sister Jiaxin¡¯s family matters,¡± Tan Shengyu continued. ¡°We can have a gathering here.¡± When Lin Fan heard this, he could not help but remember that Song Jiaxin had not come to school the entire day. He could not help but ask, ¡°What¡¯s the matter with Jiaxin¡¯s family?¡± Jiaxin was naturally Song Jiaxin. Lin Fan had always had a good impression of her. Tan Shengyu said in a surprised tone, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you don¡¯t know about it?¡± ¡°Know what?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°I was in Jingbei these few days and only came back yesterday afternoon.¡± Tan Shengyu said in realization, ¡°I see¡­ Brother Lin Fan, you should know that Song Herbal Tea belongs to Sister Jiaxin, right?¡± Song Herbal Tea belonged to Song Jiaxin? Lin Fan really did not know about this. However, he still nodded. Then, Tan Shengyu briefly explained Song Liangcha¡¯s situation. When Lin Fan heard that, a strange expression appeared on his face, ¡°So, Jiaxin¡¯s family is lacking a good herbal tea recipe?¡± It was no wonder that he was acting like this. Herbal tea recipe? He had just gotten one yesterday. As for whether it was good or not? How could something obtained from the system be bad? ¡°Yeah.¡± Tan Shengyu nodded. ¡°If it¡¯s a financial problem, we can help solve it. However, we don¡¯t know anything about herbal teas.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I do.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Tan Shengyu was stunned. Lin Fan did not care about that much. He took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Song Jiaxin. Lin Fan: [Where are you?] After a while, his phone vibrated slightly. Song Jiaxin: [You¡¯re back in Jiangbei? I¡¯m at Song Herbal Tea¡¯s factory.] Lin Fan said: [Okay, I¡¯ll be right there.] Chapter 384 - 384 New Item; Delicious! 384 New Item; Delicious! Song Herbal Tea was one of the most popular drinks in Hua Nation, and its sales even surpassed Coke! In order to cope with the huge sales, Song Herbal Tea established factories in many parts of the country. Jiangbei was the base camp and had the most factories. The Song Family Road Factory was Song Herbal Tea¡¯s largest factory in Jiangbei. At this moment¡­ Song Wenming, Song Jiaxin, Song Yichen, and the others were all staring at the R&D department in the distance. A moment later, several cups of dark brown herbal tea appeared in front of them. Song Wenming, Song Yichen, Song Jiaxin, and the others all picked up the herbal tea and took a sip. ¡°Yichen, what do you think of the improved No. 5?¡± Song Wenming asked after a while. Song Yichen thought about it for a moment before saying, ¡°The taste is slightly different, but it¡¯s already very close.¡± Song Wenming nodded in agreement. However, there was no joy on his face. The difference was very small, but there was still a difference. They had launched similar new products before, but all of them ended in failure without exception. Would the improved version No. 5 be different? Song Wenming did not know. At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside. A staff member brought Lin Fan over. ¡°Grandpa Song, Uncle Song, Jiaxin, hello,¡± Lin Fan took the initiative to greet everyone. Lin Fan was naturally familiar with Song Jiaxin. As for Song Wenming and Song Yichen, they had met once on Song Jiaxin¡¯s birthday. Lin Fan and Song Yichen had only met briefly. He had even played chess with Song Wenming before. ¡°Lin Fan, why are you here?¡± Song Jiaxin asked. ¡°Of course, you can,¡± Song Jiaxin said. Lin Fan did not stand on ceremony as he placed the herbal tea by his nose and sniffed. Then, he slowly poured it into his mouth. ¡°The taste is not sweet enough.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up at the various materials in the research and development room in front of him. He said, ¡°I also know a recipe for herbal tea. How about I make some for you to try?¡± Song Wenming understood that Lin Fan was trying to help him. He did not think that Lin Fan would have any good formulas. After all, the Song family was definitely at the forefront of the research on herbal tea. ¡°Thank you, Brother Lin,¡± Song Wenming said. ¡°Do you need me to ask my master to help you make it?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± Song Wenming was slightly surprised. Him? He also knew how to make herbal tea? Song Wenming nodded after a while. Lin Fan walked into the R&D department under everyone¡¯s gaze. He glanced at the materials and equipment at the scene. In an instant, the effects of these materials and the usage of the equipment were like scenes from a movie, rippling in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Skill: Eyes of True Sight!] Then, Lin Fan¡¯s hands flew like the wind as he boiled tea, mixed tea, and dried tea¡­ His movements did not stop at all, as if this was the kitchen he cooked in every day and not the factory he came to for the first time. This scene stunned Song Wenming and Song Yichen. Song Jiaxin¡¯s beautiful eyes lit up. After a while, a strong fragrance of tea wafted over. A moment later, several cups of herbal tea appeared in front of Song Wenming, Song Yichen, and Song Jiaxin. Lin Fan said, ¡°Try it.¡± Only then did Song Wenming and Song Yichen react. They looked at each other and picked up the teacup with Song Jiaxin. Gulp! The herbal tea entered their mouths. It was clear-tasting! Awesome! At this moment, it was as if they had suddenly arrived in a green forest from a desert. A gentle breeze was blowing in their ears, and a stream was flowing in front of them¡­ It was extremely relaxed and enjoyable! ¡°Delicious!¡± Unknowingly, the three of them had finished their herbal tea. When they opened their eyes, their gazes landed on Lin Fan. Surprising! Unbelievable! This was top-grade herbal tea! This was definitely¡­ a top-grade herbal tea that was a hundred times better than Wang Hu¡¯s patent! Song Wenming and Song Yichen knew that Lin Fan was a math genius who had solved many math problems. At the same time, he was also an outstanding financial genius who had earned 400% of the profits in just three days! However, they had never thought that Lin Fan would actually have the recipe for a top-grade herbal tea! ¡°How does it taste?¡± asked Lin Fan. Song Wenming blurted out, ¡°Very good!¡± Lin Fan had expected this outcome. After all, how could the system produce an inferior product? Lin Fan nodded. ¡°That¡¯s good¡­ This is the specific recipe and steps of the herbal tea.¡± As he spoke, he took out a folded piece of paper. Such a precious herbal tea recipe was directly taken out? It was not an exaggeration to say that this was a priceless formula! As long as this formula was used to produce herbal tea, there would be no other herbal tea in the world that could compare to it. Song Wenming and Song Yichen firmly believed in this! ¡°This¡­ Little Brother Lin, this is too precious,¡± Song Wenming said with a trembling voice. Lin Fan said casually, ¡°Take it. If you leave it with me, it¡¯s just a waste. Besides¡­ You¡¯re Jiaxin¡¯s family.¡± Song Wenming looked at Lin Fan and then at Song Jiaxin. He nodded and said, ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll take it. However, this formula is too important. I definitely can¡¯t take it for free! After all, even blood brothers have to settle scores! ¡°All these years, in order to expand Song Herbal Tea, we raised funds and diluted 20% of our shares. Now, we still have 80% of our shares! ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to transfer 40% of the shares to you now.¡± Lin Fan did not really care about the shares. He said calmly, ¡°As you wish.¡± Then, Song Wenming personally made a herbal tea according to the recipe. After tasting it, his turbid eyes flickered with a faint light. He knew that Song Herbal Tea could be saved! Not only could it be saved, it could even far surpass the past. Lin Fan did not stay in the factory for long. After chatting for a while, he said goodbye. Song Jiaxin said that she wanted to send Lin Fan off. The two of them walked around the vast factory area of Song Herbal Tea. Their slender shadows swayed under the light and touched each other. For some reason, Song Jiaxin suddenly recalled the scene of Lin Fan solving math problems, racing, singing, and making herbal tea. These scenes seemed to be like their shadows, constantly shaking. Gradually, Song Jiaxin¡¯s heart began to beat faster, and her fair face revealed a blush under the moonlight. [Ding! Charming Aura triggered, unforgettable memory!] Suddenly, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. Lin Fan was stunned. While she was in a daze, Song Jiaxin suddenly stood on her tiptoes and came over. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ They were warm and moist. Chapter 385 - 385 Hot Rush; Free Money! 385 Hot Rush; Free Money! The next day, the sky was bright. Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Song Jiaxin, who was lying beside him like a cat. There was a bright red spot on the white bed. He could not help but smile. Song Jiaxin seemed to have felt his gaze and let out a nasal sound before slowly opening her eyes. Their eyes met. Song Jiaxin, who was cold in front of her classmates and domineering in front of her friends¡­ At this moment, she was like a tender young lady. Her entire pretty face was blushing, and she could not help but burrow under the blanket. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°You must be tired from last night. I¡¯ll order some food to replenish your strength.¡± When Song Jiaxin heard this, her pretty face turned even redder. However, she was indeed a little hungry. She let out a soft hum. Lin Fan got up from his bed and picked up his phone. A text message appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,598,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Lin Fan immediately marked it as read. Then, he called the Michelin two-star restaurant and asked them to send two sets of breakfast over. After washing up, Lin Fan turned his attention to the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,000,000 yuan.] Lin Fan chose to ignore this. Not long after, the doorbell rang. Two beautiful bamboo baskets were sent in. It was the breakfast that Lin Fan had just ordered. At this moment, Song Jiaxin slowly walked out after washing up. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Lin Fan asked. Song Jiaxin naturally understood what Lin Fan was referring to. She blushed and nodded her head. ¡°Alright.¡± Song Jiaxin replied. It had to be said that the taste of the food from a two-star Michelin restaurant was really good. Stewed sea coconut with coconut gum, black golden orchid abalone, Alaskan crab meat¡­ The ingredients of each dish were very fresh, tender, and delicious. Even though the two sets of breakfasts only cost a total of 32,900 yuan, Lin Fan and Song Jiaxin were very satisfied. ¡°I¡¯m full. Do you want to rest for a while?¡± Lin Fan asked with a smile. After Song Jiaxin heard this, her pretty face blushed again. That was because Lin Fan had said something similar last night. Song Jiaxin nodded gently, letting out a soft hum. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. It had to be said that the Song family¡¯s ability was truly astonishing. In just two days, the new batch of Song Herbal Tea was produced. As soon as the herbal tea appeared, it immediately triggered a hot rush to buy it. There were even cases of people drinking so much herbal tea that the supply of herbal tea was insufficient. Coke? Pepsi? They were all forgotten! Orders that far exceeded numbers of the past kept flying to Song Herbal Tea¡¯s headquarters. The number of goods shipped in a day was even more than the previous month! It was simply terrifying! As for King Herbal Tea, which sales had only reached one-tenth of Song Herbal Tea¡¯s¡­ No one was interested in it anymore. For this reason, Wang Hu, the owner of King Herbal Tea, even called Song Wenming to ask if he wanted to buy out the herbal tea formula patent. However, Song Wenming already had the recipe for Lin Fan¡¯s herbal tea. How could he want Wang Hu¡¯s recipe? ¡­ Future Groupchat. Sun Luguo: [As expected of Sister Jiaxin¡¯s family. In such a short period of time, they solved the crisis!] Duan Qian: [Yes! It¡¯s too amazing! I specially bought a bottle of it today. It tastes so good!] Tan Shengyu: [It¡¯s not just great. I¡¯ll feel uncomfortable if I don¡¯t drink Song Herbal Tea!] Liu Yuhang: [Shengyu¡¯s words are exactly what I want to say.] Song Jiaxin: [Actually, this is all thanks to Lin Fan. If it wasn¡¯t for Lin Fan, our Song family would have been in danger.] Sun Luguo: [Sister Jiaxin, you mean¡­] Song Jiaxin: [Yes, Lin Fan gave me the herbal tea recipe.] Zhang Bin: [Brother Lin Fan is awesome!] Tan Shengyu: [No wonder when I mentioned Song Herbal Tea¡¯s plight that day, Brother Lin Fan left immediately. It turns out he was preparing the herbal tea recipe for Sister Jiaxin.] Liu Yuhang: [Brother Lin Fan knows finance, he can sing, and he can make medicine¡­ Now, he can even make herbal tea. Brother Lin Fan is too awesome!] ¡­ Lin Fan did not care about the changes in the herbal tea market or the Future Groupchat. At this moment, he was walking slowly in Jiangbei University, looking extremely relaxed. At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang. Lin Fan looked at the caller ID. It was a call from President Ma. Without any hesitation, he pressed the answer button. ¡°Mr. Lin, how have you been?¡± President Ma laughed heartily. In the beginning, Lin Fan only owned 5% of Little Tanuki Group¡¯s shares. At that time, President Ma still treated Lin Fan as an equal. Gradually, Lin Fan¡¯s shares increased. Now, it had reached a terrifying 20%. Hence, President Ma inadvertently tried to curry favor with Lin Fan. Lin Fan said, ¡°Not bad! Why did you call?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t contacted you in a long time. I miss you very much!¡± President Ma laughed. ¡°Is that so?¡± Lin Fan said calmly. President Ma seemed to have heard the impatience in Lin Fan¡¯s tone. ¡°Of course, there are some serious matters. Our Little Tanuki Group has tabulated last year¡¯s revenue, profits, and dividends. ¡°The total income is 200 billion, and the profit is 60 billion. Last year, you owned 5% of the shares. After deducting taxes, you can get 2.4 billion yuan. ¡°I¡¯ve already sent the financial statement to your email. You can check it. If there¡¯s no problem, should I ask the finance department to transfer the money to your account directly?¡± 2.4 billion yuan in dividends? Not bad! When Lin Fan was on the phone, his phone vibrated slightly. An email popped up. Without waiting for Lin Fan to check, a message popped up on his super smart watch. The report was correct. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan said, ¡°Alright, just get the finance department to transfer the money over.¡± President Ma was slightly stunned. Directly transfer over? This involved 2.4 billion yuan! Was he not going to check? However, President Ma thought about it and realized that Lin Fan now owned 20% of the shares of Little Tanuki Group. In addition, he also owned 20% of Penguin Group¡¯s shares, as well as the shares of many other companies. 2.4 billion was definitely a huge sum of money in the eyes of others. However, in Lin Fan¡¯s eyes, it was nothing. In addition, in the eyes of ordinary people, Little Tanuki¡¯s financial report was a very confidential matter. To Lin Fan who had such wealth, perhaps it was not a secret at all? After a while, President Ma said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll get the finance department to send it over later.¡± Lin Fan did not like to talk to middle-aged people like President Ma. However, President Ma was here to give him money this time. Lin Fan was patient and chatted for a while before hanging up. Chapter 386 - 386 Full Harvest; Mission! 386 Full Harvest; Mission! Many people thought that the company¡¯s dividends were distributed at the end of the year. They just needed to distribute the sales and profits according to the ratio. It was very simple. However, in reality, that was not the case. This was a very complicated and tedious process. This was especially true for large companies like Little Tanuki Group. Generally speaking, the settlement could only be completed in the first quarter of the following year. Not long after Lin Fan hung up, his phone rang again. This time, it was the other President Ma. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin,¡± President Ma said in a gentle voice. ¡°President Ma, what¡¯s up?¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Our finance department has already calculated the revenue, profits, and dividends of the previous year. The total revenue is 450 billion, and the profit is 150 billion¡­ Mr. Lin, you owned 5% of the company¡¯s shares last year. After tax, you can get six billion. ¡°I¡¯ve sent the detailed financial statements to your email. You can take a look.¡± President Da Ma always liked to beat about the bush, but President Xiao Ma was more direct. As soon as President Ma finished speaking, an email popped up on Lin Fan¡¯s phone. Then, a message popped up on Lin Fan¡¯s super smart watch. The report was correct. Lin Fan said, ¡°Okay, just get the finance department to transfer the money to my account.¡± President Ma was slightly stunned. He quickly thought of something and replied, ¡°Alright.¡± Not long after, Lin Fan¡¯s handphone vibrated. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 2,400,000,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] [Notice from Merchant Bank: 6,000,000,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Even Lin Fan could not help but smile when he saw these two numbers. At this moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. Seeing this¡­ The smile on Lin Fan¡¯s face grew wider. He had just received a few billion yuan, and now he had received five golden packets. This was simply a joyous occasion. He found a place with no one around and muttered, ¡°Five golden packets. Let¡¯s see what I can get. ¡°Open them!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five million yuan. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a Constitution Enhancement Potion.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three million yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 20% of Du Niang¡¯s shares.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received four million yuan.] Lin Fan had already used Constitution Enhancement Potions twice, and the effects were pretty good. Last time, he just jumped lightly and almost hit the roof. In the past, Du Niang, Penguin, and Little Tanuki were known as the three giants of Hua Nation¡¯s internet industry. Later on, Alphabet rose up and replaced Du Niang¡¯s position. However, Du Niang¡¯s strength could not be underestimated. 20% of Du Niang¡¯s shares was not bad! As for the three million, four million, and five million, Lin Fan chose to ignore them all. When Lin Fan raised his head, a bottle of transparent liquid appeared in front of him. This¡­ It was the Constitution Enhancement Potion. Lin Fan did not hesitate and poured the potion into his mouth. Gulp! Lin Fan felt his body warm up, and he was filled with energy. He had the urge to jump on the spot. However, Lin Fan endured it. That was because the last time he jumped lightly at the Coiling Dragon Villa, he already went up five meters. Now that he had drunk another bottle of Constitution Enhancement Potion, if he were to jump here in school and be seen by others¡­ Something big would definitely happen. Lin Fan suppressed the excitement in his heart and strolled into the classroom. Time always flew by in class. With just two crisp ringing sounds, the morning class ended. The long line in the cafeteria was extremely lively. After a hearty meal, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang again. This time, it was a call from Ran Fei, the president of Dahua Group. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Ran Fei¡¯s slightly dull voice came from the phone. Lin Fan obtained a few billion yuan today and five golden packets. He was in a good mood and replied, ¡°Hello, President Ran.¡± ¡°Mr. Lin, it sounds like you¡¯re in a good mood,¡± Ran Fei said. Lin Fan said, ¡°Yeah, I gained something today.¡± ¡°Congratulations, Mr. Lin,¡± Ran Fei said. After chatting for a while, Lin Fan asked, ¡°By the way, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°The companies that signed the super battery contract with Dahua Group have already transferred the money,¡± Ran Fei said. ¡°It¡¯s a total of 120 million yuan. ¡°According to the original 50-50 split, I can now get the finance department to transfer 60 million yuan to you.¡± When Lin Fan heard this, he could not help but rub his nose. His luck today seemed to be pretty good. First, it was Little Tanuki Group, then it was Penguin Group¡­ Now, Da Hua Group was also giving him money. Ran Fei saw that there was no sound on the phone and hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°Originally, I expected you to earn at least 300 million in the first quarter. ¡°60 million yuan¡­ is too little. ¡°However, there¡¯s nothing we can do about it. The Foreign Chip Alliance has issued a ban on our Dahua cell phones and even all cell phones that use super batteries. ¡°They said that our super battery is a safety hazard, so we must report all the data to the Foreign Chip Alliance. Otherwise, it will be banned from being sold in all the Foreign Chip Alliance locations. ¡°Even if our super battery doesn¡¯t do business with the Foreign Chip Alliance, we won¡¯t have such a small amount of money in a quarter. ¡°However, not long ago, the Foreign Chip Alliance issued a statement. In order to reduce the risk, before we submit the specific data of the super battery, the Foreign Chip Alliance will no longer provide chips to mobile phone companies that use the super battery.¡± When Ran Fei said this, his tone clearly became depressed and tired. During this period of time, he had been busy with this matter. He thought of many ways to solve it, such as producing experiments, proof, and other methods. However, the Foreign Chip Alliance did not seem to care at all. They just kept emphasizing safety matters. Could the detailed data be handed over to the Foreign Chip Alliance? Would that not be handing over the technology they had mastered? This was absolutely not allowed! However, facing the Foreign Chip Alliance¡¯s blockade, Ran Fei felt helpless. It could be said that all the chips in the world were in the hands of the Foreign Chip Alliance. If the super battery was rice, then the Foreign Chip Alliance was the heart! If one did not eat rice, one could have steamed buns and noodles, and one could still live. Without a heart, one would be completely dead! When Lin Fan heard this, his good mood vanished instantly. He did not care about the 300 million share at all. One had to know¡­ Lin Fan had just received a total of over eight billion in dividends! However, Lin Fan was extremely displeased with the Foreign Chip Alliance¡¯s actions. Just as he was about to speak, a clear notification sounded in his mind. [Ding! Mission: Watch a computer experiment. Read through Physics of Semi-Conductor, Microelectronic Devices, Computer Principles, Basics of Simulation Technology, and Chip Manufacturing. Reward: One carbon-based photolithographic machine, as well as the manufacturing principle of the carbon-based photolithographic machine and Computer Teaching Experience.] Chapter 387 - 387 As expected of Brother Lin Fan; Quantum Reading? 387 As expected of Brother Lin Fan; Quantum Reading? When Lin Fan heard this, his expression changed slightly. Even though he did not know much about the Foreign Chip Alliance, he knew that the photolithographic machine was the key to making chips. It was the silicon-based chip that was used in the world today. However, carbon-based chips were still in a concept state. Dahua Group was under the sanction of the Foreign Chip Alliance¡­ This mission came at the right time! Thus, Lin Fan said, ¡°Just transfer 60 million to my account. As for the chip, I¡¯ll think of a way.¡± After that, Lin Fan hung up the phone. Dahua¡¯s chairman, Ran Fei, held his phone and was at a loss. He would think of a way? Think of what? ¡­ Lin Fan naturally did not know about Ran Fei¡¯s doubts. He said to Song Yi and the others, ¡°I¡¯m going to the library. You guys go back to the dormitory first.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go with you,¡± Ma Zhong said. Ma Zhong had always been a person who loved to learn. Ever since Lin Fan cured his father¡¯s illness, Ma Zhong seemed to have been injected with some sort of potion. He listened attentively in class, and whenever he was free, he would study or run to the library. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± As it turned out¡­ There was not only Song Yi and Zheng Jinbao, who liked wasting their time in university. There were also many hardworking students. Even though it was the afternoon break, the library was still packed with people. Just as Ma Zhong was about to speak, a quiet and voluptuous woman wearing black-rimmed glasses slowly walked over. ¡°You¡¯re here?¡± The woman smiled. This smile was like a cool breeze that blew across his face. Ma Zhong was completely stunned. It was Lu Ling, whom Lin Fan had met several times in the library. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°What books are you looking for this time?¡± Lu Ling asked. ¡°Physics of Semi-Conductor, Microelectronic Devices, Computer Principles, Basics of Simulation Technology, and Chip Manufacturing,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°They¡¯re in front. I¡¯ll go over and help you find them.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± said Lin Fan. Then, the two of them walked forward quickly. Only Ma Zhong was left standing there in a daze. After a while, he gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely, ¡°As expected of Brother Lin Fan!¡± Lu Ling was very familiar with the entire library. She walked past the math bookshelf and the physics bookshelf¡­ Soon, she arrived at the computer bookshelf and quickly found all five books, including Computer Principles and Microelectronic Devices. Lu Ling smiled and said, ¡°I still have a seat over there. Do you want to go over and sit?¡± ¡°Sure,¡± Lin Fan said. Thus, the two of them went to their usual seats and sat down. Ma Zhong, who was standing not far away, looked at the two of them sitting together. They looked extremely intimate. He gave them a thumbs up and praised, ¡°As expected of Brother Lin Fan!¡± ¡­ Lin Fan did not care about Ma Zhong¡¯s praise. He opened Physics of Semi-Conductors and flipped through it. The crisp sound of pages being flipped echoed in the room. He finished reading the hundreds of pages in just three minutes. Then, it was Microelectronic Devices and Computer Principles¡­ Lu Ling had seen this kind of situation many times, so she was used to it. Therefore, there was not much reaction. In Ma Zhong¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan was flipping through the books randomly while Lu Ling was staring at him like a fangirl. Ma Zhong could not help but give him a thumbs up and praise, ¡°As expected of Brother Fan!¡± In just ten minutes, he had finished reading all five books. Lin Fan turned his attention to the system mission. [Mission: Watch a computer experiment (0/1); Read through Physics of Semi-Conductor, Microelectronic Devices, Computer Principles, Basics of Simulation Technology, and Chip Manufacturing (5/5). Reward: Obtain one carbon-based photolithographic machine, as well as the manufacturing principle of the carbon-based photolithographic machine and Computer Teaching Experience.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up. He was halfway through the mission and was about to complete it completely. Lu Ling saw that Lin Fan had stopped reading and could not help but ask, ¡°Are you done?¡± Lin Fan nodded. Lu Ling looked at her watch and said, ¡°5 books in 13 minutes. Could this be what the news said¡­That quantum reading thing?¡± Lin Fan had seen this news before. It was said that someone had mastered a special reading method called quantum reading. It was said that one could read 100,000 words in a minute. For this reason, that person even opened a training class to teach quantum reading. However, Lin Fan knew that this was a new type of scam. This was because there was no way in this world to obtain such an ability through training. Of course, even if there was, that so-called quantum reading could not compare to Lin Fan¡¯s scanning ability. Quantum reading could only read the content, but scanning could help one memorize the content. Lin Fan smiled and shook his head. ¡°That¡¯s a lie.¡± ¡°Alright then,¡± Lu Ling said helplessly. She seemed to be interested in this reading method. It was no wonder. A certain someone often flipped through books in front of her. If it was just for fun, then so be it. However, every time he flipped through the books, he would complete something that would shock the world. This made people suspicious. Something that shocked the world? Lu Ling seemed to have thought of something and asked, ¡°The books you¡¯re reading this time are all related to the chip. Are you trying to invent a chip?¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Yeah.¡± There was no need to hide this matter. Very soon, he would complete the mission. He would obtain the photolithographic machine and proceed to produce chips. ¡°Huh?¡± Lu Ling did not expect Lin Fan to really nod. For a moment, she did not know how to answer. As everyone knew, the chip was the core and also the most complex electronic component. All the chips were firmly controlled by the Foreign Chip Alliance. Many countries, including Hua Nation, had been working hard for decades, but they still had not made much progress. One could imagine how difficult it was. Now, Lin Fan said that he wanted to invent a chip? Lin Fan did not pay attention to the dazed Lu Lin. He looked at the questions on the table and asked, ¡°You¡¯re having problems again?¡± Again? Why again? Alright then. Every time Lin Fan came to read, he would help her answer the questions. ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Ling blushed. Lin Fan did not even think about it and started writing. Soon, lines of extremely detailed calculations appeared in the notebook. After a while, Lin Fan said, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s it. You should be able to understand, right?¡± Chapter 388 - 388 Welcome; Ill Be Leaving First! 388 Welcome; I¡¯ll Be Leaving First! Lu Ling looked down for a while and said, ¡°I understand.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he strode out. This scene¡­ Ma Zhong saw everything. In his opinion, Lin Fan and Lu Ling were almost stuck together to discuss the problem. It turned out that having good grades and good looks really allowed one to do whatever one wanted! Ma Zhong gave him a thumbs up again and said, ¡°As expected of Brother Lin Fan!¡± ¡­ Lin Fan did not care about Ma Zhong¡¯s reaction. After he walked out of the library, he walked straight to the No. 1 Training Building. Back then, when he participated in the Mathematical Modeling Competition, Lin Fan often went to the No. 1 Training Building. He knew that most of the computer-related experiments were conducted here. ¡°Huh? Lin Fan!¡± A middle-aged man wearing silver-rimmed glasses said in surprise. ¡°And you are?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m Professor Wang Jun from the School of Computer Science,¡± the middle-aged man said. Now, all the teachers and professors at Jiangbei University who had a bit of status remembered Lin Fan. After all, he had brought too much honor to Jiangbei University. In other words, Jiangbei University was proud of him! Lin Fan¡¯s name had been around for the longest time in the mathematics and computer science departments. This was because the first honor Lin Fan received was the Higher Education Cup from the mathematical modeling competition. The award was from the collaboration between mathematics and computer science. Lin Fan¡¯s expression changed. ¡°So, it¡¯s Professor Wang. Hello, Professor Wang.¡± Then, he seemed to have thought of something and said, ¡°Professor Chen Haiyang and I applied for a chip research project last year. It¡¯s rare for you to come to the No. 1 Training Building. Do you want to go to the laboratory to take a look? It¡¯s just ahead.¡± What did it mean by someone giving one a pillow when one was sleepy? This was it! Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± When Wang Jun heard this, his entire face immediately turned into a ball of laughter. One had to know¡­ There had always been a rumor at Jiangbei University. If one wanted to solve a problem, then one had to make Lin Fan interested. If Lin Fan saw his experiment and was interested in the chip¡­ When Wang Jun thought of this, the smile on his face widened. He directly pushed open the laboratory in the middle. Chen Haiyang and the two graduate students were facing the computer and typing quickly on the keyboard. The other three Ph.D. students were carefully assembling the components on a large machine. They were so focused that when Wang Jun and Lin Fan walked in, no one bothered with them. Wang Jun could not help but clear his throat and say, ¡°Professor Chen Haiyang, everyone, please stop what you¡¯re doing.¡± As Wang Jun¡¯s voice was too loud, it suddenly disturbed the three Ph.D. students who were doing fine work. Cracks appeared on the small parts that had just been completed. Chen Haiyang frowned and said, ¡°Professor Wang, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Wang Jun also noticed that he had disturbed the experiment and cast an apologetic gaze at the few of them. Then, he said, ¡°Lin Fan has come to visit our laboratory. Please welcome him!¡± Lin Fan! After this name was uttered in the laboratory, Chen Haiyang, the Ph.D. students, and graduate students¡­ All their expressions turned solemn. At this moment, they forgot that their experiment had been interrupted. All of their gazes were focused on Lin Fan. Clearly, they all knew Lin Fan and had heard some rumors about him. Now, Lin Fan had come to their laboratory. Did it mean¡­ He had started researching the chip? Everyone¡¯s hearts were burning. Chen Haiyang came up to him personally and extended his hand. ¡°Hello, Lin Fan.¡± ¡°You must be Professor Chen, right? Hello,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°How could I dare to call myself a professor in front of you?¡± Chen Haiyang laughed. ¡°Just call me Old Chen.¡± Lin Fan coughed lightly and said, ¡°I¡¯ll just call you Professor Chen.¡± Chen Haiyang did not mind. ¡°Lin Fan, are you interested in the chip?¡± When he said this, his eyes were filled with anticipation. Wang Jun, as well as the graduate students and Ph.D. students nearby, pricked up their ears. Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯m a little interested. If it¡¯s convenient for you and Professor Wang, can you do an experiment for me to see?¡± Chen Haiyang and Wang Jun said in unison, ¡°Of course!¡± Lin Fan was really interested! Did this mean that the experiment was going to make great progress? ¡°Chen Haiyang said excitedly, ¡°Everyone, cheer up and do our experiment from the beginning to the end!¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± The graduate students and Ph.D. students said in unison. Immediately, Chen Haiyang, Wang Jun, the graduate students, and the Ph.D. students carefully assembled the components and quickly moved their hands on the keyboard. Very soon, a very complicated composition of the components appeared on the computer screen. About an hour later, everyone stopped what they were doing. The experiment was over! Wang Jun said in an extremely expectant tone, ¡°Lin Fan, what do you think? What areas needed to be changed?¡± Lin Fan did not reply immediately. This was because his thoughts were occupied by the notification in his mind. [Ding! Mission completed¡ªWatch a computer experiment (1/1). Read Physics of Semi-Conductor, Microelectronic Devices, Computer Principles, Basics of Simulation Technology, and Chip Manufacturing (5/5). Reward: Obtain one carbon-based photolithographic machine, as well as the manufacturing principle of the carbon-based photolithographic machine and Computer Teaching Experience.] Instantly, Lin Fan¡¯s mind was filled with a lot of computer-related knowledge, as well as the complex manufacturing principles for a carbon-based photolithographic machine.] [Carbon-based photolithographic machine: Do you wish to extract it?] After a while, he came back to his senses and said, ¡°I have something to do now, so I¡¯ll leave first¡­¡± After he finished speaking, he did not stop at all and turned to walk out. If he had not obtained the manufacturing principles of the carbon-based photolithographic machine, it would have been fine. After obtaining them, Lin Fan¡¯s interest in the carbon-based photolithographic machine grew. He wanted to create a carbon-based chip as soon as possible and test its effects. It was like a child suddenly getting a new toy. Wang Jun and Chen Haiyang looked at Lin Fan¡¯s back and opened their mouths. In the end, they could only sigh helplessly. They understood that there was no hope of relying on Lin Fan to make progress. Of course, they were already mentally prepared for such a situation. After all, no one was perfect. Lin Fan had already done deep research in mathematics, physics, and biology. Furthermore, he had obtained great achievements. If he also did deep research in the field of computers and achieved great achievements¡­ It would be unrealistic. Chapter 389 - 389 Carbon-Based Photolithographic Machine; Thesis! 389 Carbon-Based Photolithographic Machine; Thesis! Lin Fan did not care about what Wang Jun and Chen Haiyang were thinking. He left the training building and went straight to the parking lot. He got into the Cullinan, stepped on the accelerator, and sped off into the distance. About 20 minutes later, he arrived at Coiling Dragon Villa. [Carbon-based photolithographic machine: Do you wish to extract it?] ¡°Yes!¡± In the next moment, a tall and complicated machine appeared out of thin air in the spacious living room. This¡­ was the carbon-based photolithographic machine. Even though this was the first time Lin Fan had seen this machine with his own eyes, he knew the structure, principle, and operation of the machine very well. Lin Fan connected the power source and fiddled with a few switches and buttons. Suddenly, the carbon-based photolithographic machine, which was originally motionless, let out a low roar. A moment later, a carbon-based chip that was smaller than a thumb appeared in front of him. Lin Fan sized it up curiously and put it in his spare phone. All the programs were opened in an instant, and the entire process was smooth as silk. ¡°Lil White, help me apply for a patent for this carbon-based photolithographic machine and carbon-based chip,¡± Lin Fan said. Even though Lin Fan had an endless amount of wealth now, he was also very clear that carbon-based photolithographic machines and carbon-based chips were very precious and important. He had to apply for a patent as soon as possible. ¡°Alright, Master,¡± Lil White said. At the same time, it emitted an infrared ray and scanned the carbon-based photolithographic machine. ¡°Master, the global patent has been successfully registered.¡± Then, electronic patent documents appeared on the screen of the super smart watch. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s face revealed a relaxed smile. He muttered, ¡°I read five books and watched an experiment to get these¡­ Not bad!¡± Wang Jun and Chen Haiyang helped him this time. Should he write a thesis? However, it seemed very troublesome. Lin Fan frowned. Even though he had Computer Teaching Experience and mastered the manufacturing principles of the carbon-based photolithographic machine, it was also very troublesome for him to write a thesis. Then, Lin Fan¡¯s attention fell on the super smart watch. His expression changed slightly as he called out, ¡°Lil White.¡± ¡°I¡¯m here, Master!¡± Lil White said. ¡°Can you write an original thesis on this carbon-based photolithographic machine?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Sure,¡± replied Lil White. Two minutes later, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. A complicated and well-organized thesis popped out of Lin Fan¡¯s mailbox. It really could! At this moment, Lin Fan suddenly thought of the thesis he had written in the past. If he had asked Lil White earlier, he would not have been so tired in the past! Lin Fan sighed and said, ¡°Lil White, write my name and Jiangbei University on the position of the first author. Write Chen Haiyang and Wang Jun as the second author. Then, send this paper to¡­ Science¡¯s editorial department.¡± After all, the carbon-based photolithographic was a technological product, and there was nothing wrong with sending it to Science. After a pause, Lin Fan continued, ¡°Then, just like before, try your best to conduct the review in the shortest amount of time.¡± ¡°Alright, Master,¡± said Lil White. ¡­ It was midnight in America. Science¡¯s editor, Howard Theus, was lying comfortably in bed, sleeping. During this period of time, his life was very good. Not long ago, Howard Theus reviewed the paper on super battery, which further improved the authoritative rating of Science in the journal category. Howard was praised by the managing editor and received a handsome bonus. In addition, the managing editor also vaguely expressed his intention to give him a promotion. This made his colleagues envious. At this moment, the phone on Howard¡¯s bedside suddenly rang. Immediately after, the television turned on automatically and a loud sound came from the sound system. Howard woke up from his sleep. If an ordinary person saw this scene, their hearts would definitely palpitate endlessly. However, Howard seemed to have thought of something, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He first turned off the television and then rushed to the laptop. Sure enough, an email popped up in his mailbox¡ªPrinciple and Usage of a Carbon-Based Photolithographic Machine! Howard was stunned for a moment before he muttered, ¡°The principle and usage of a carbon-based photolithographic machine? Could this be a spam email from someone?¡± It was no wonder that he would be like this. This was because there were still too many unanswered questions about carbon-based photolithographic machines. Principle and usage? Was this a joke? Despite saying that, Howard still opened the email. He skimmed through ten lines, and finally, his eyes fell on the first author¡ªLin Fan from Jiangbei University. ¡°It¡¯s him!¡± Howard¡¯s pupils constricted. If it were someone else, it might really be just a piece of junk mail. However, this was Lin Fan! He was the genius who invented the super battery, developed the human islet recovery medicine, and solved several math problems! In that case, it was definitely not a spam email. Perhaps, he had really made a major breakthrough in carbon-based photolithographic machines. He might have even invented the carbon-based photolithographic machine! Thinking of this, Howard¡¯s heart began to beat wildly. He could not wait to read the thesis from beginning to end. After reading it, he became even more excited. Howard ignored the fact that it was still early in the morning and quickly picked up his phone to call the managing editor. ¡­ At this moment, the editor-in-chief of Science was in a state of sweet dreams when the piercing sound of a phone ringing woke him up. He could not help but get angry. When he saw that the caller ID was Howard Theus, he said angrily, ¡°Howard Theus, you¡¯re getting more and more outrageous! You¡¯re even calling me in the middle of the night! Do you still want a promotion? F*ck!¡± The managing editor slowly pressed the answer button with anger. ¡°Chief Editor, Lin Fan from Jiangbei University has sent over a new thesis. It¡¯s a carbon-based photolithographic machine. It¡¯s called ¡®The Principle and Usage of a Carbon-Based Photolithographic Machine¡¯!¡± As soon as the call connected, Howard¡¯s excited voice came from the other end. ¡°What?¡± Initially, the managing editor was still a little sleepy, but when he heard this voice, he immediately perked up. He said excitedly, ¡°Good, good! Howard Theus, you did well! I¡¯ll promote you tomorrow! ¡°Now, hurry up and send the thesis to my email.¡± Hearing this, Howard Theus was so happy that he cried out excitedly, ¡°Alright, Chief Editor!¡± Chapter 390 - 390 Invent? 390 Invent? That night, many experts and professors in the fields of computers, chips, and photolithographic machines arrived at Stan University. They gathered together, their fingers jumping rapidly on the keyboard as they occasionally let out a sigh of admiration. ¡°Heavens!¡± ¡°This data is too amazing!¡± ¡°A carbon-based photolithographic machine!¡± ¡°Unbelievable!¡± ¡­ Lin Fan did not care about any of this at all. He sat on the soft sofa and played with his phone leisurely. The sky was completely dark. Lin Fan dialed the number of Ran Fei, the chairman of Dahua Group. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Ran Fei¡¯s tired voice came from the other end of the line. Today, he had been busy the whole day because of the chip. However, there was still no progress. He felt physically and mentally exhausted. Lin Fan seemed to have heard Ran Fei¡¯s exhaustion and said, ¡°Are you still worried about the chip?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Ran Fei sighed. ¡°Come to Jiangbei tomorrow,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°I want to discuss the chip with you.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Ran Fei was stunned. Discuss the chip? What chip? Did Lin Fan not study mathematics and batteries? Lin Fan continued, ¡°Then it¡¯s settled. It¡¯s getting late. Rest early.¡± Ran Fei was the only one left holding his phone with a blank look on his face. Lin Fan played with his phone for a while more, then turned it to silent mode and fell into a deep sleep. ¡­ Jingbei. The director of the Institute of Science, Feng Zhixiang, was almost 50 years old. However, he continued to study every day. At this moment, he was seriously flipping through the latest scientific research journals. At this moment, the phone in Feng Zhixiang¡¯s pocket rang. Feng Zhixiang looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Academician Yang Lichen. He could not help but wonder, ¡®Didn¡¯t Academician Yang go to the US to attend a computer science report? Why is he calling me so late?¡¯ Feng Zhixiang slowly pressed the answer button. ¡°Director Feng, there¡¯s been progress in carbon-based photolithographic machines! They might even have been invented!¡± As soon as he picked up the phone, Yang Lichen¡¯s loud voice rang out. Feng Zhixiang suddenly stood up and knocked the tea on the table onto the floor. However, he did not care at all and hurriedly asked, ¡°What? Have carbon-based photolithographic machines made great progress? They might¡¯ve been invented? Is the news reliable? Who is it? Which country?¡± It was no wonder that Feng Zhixiang was so anxious. One had to know¡­ The chip had always been the biggest obstacle to Hua Nation¡¯s development. For this, who knew how much manpower and material resources had been invested, but it was not of much use. This was because silicon-based chips were mainstream in the world today. Silicon-based chip technology was firmly in the hands of the Foreign Chip Alliance. It was impossible for Hua Nation to break through. Therefore, Hua Nation had no choice but to find another way out. After years of research, they found another way¡ªcarbon-based chips. According to the calculations and speculations of many scientists, carbon-based chips were smaller and more powerful than silicon-based chips. Obviously, carbon-based chips were very high-quality products. However, the scientists were completely at a loss on how to design and develop it. Even so, Hua Nation did not give up. They still invested a large amount of resources into the research of carbon-based chips. Over the years, Hua Nation¡¯s research on carbon-based chips had also achieved some results. However, Yang Lichen had now called to say that great progress had been made in carbon-based photolithographic machines. The machines might have even been invented. How could Feng Zhixiang not be anxious? If that was the case, all the investments that Hua Nation had made over the years might have gone down the drain. ¡°Academician Yang, say something!¡± Feng Zhixiang said again. ¡°Director Feng, don¡¯t worry.¡± Yang Lichen said. ¡°You should know this person. He¡¯s Lin Fan, our Hua Nation¡¯s Lin Fan!¡± ¡°Lin Fan?¡± Feng Zhixiang was slightly stunned. His anxious expression seemed to have been frozen on his face. After a while, he said excitedly, ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s Lin Fan from Hua Nation? Lin Fan from Jiangbei University?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Yang Lichen said. ¡°I¡¯m sure! He published a thesis titled The Principle and Usage of Carbon-Based Photolithographic Machines on Science. ¡°Although I haven¡¯t seen the specific content yet, all the computer and chip experts have gathered at Stan University to help review and research this thesis. ¡°From the conversations of those experts, it¡¯s not hard to tell that they all agree with the content of The Principle and Usage of Carbon-Based Photolithographic Machines.¡± He directly told him everything he had seen and heard without any concealment or exaggeration. It was because Yang Lichen knew very well how important this matter was. ¡°Good, good, good!¡± Feng Zhixiang said happily. ¡°This is great! Hahaha!¡± Then, Feng Zhixiang seemed to have thought of something and quickly said, ¡°I won¡¯t chat with you for now. I have to contact Lin Fan.¡± After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Yang Lichen to reply. Then, Feng Zhixiang quickly dialed Lin Fan¡¯s number. However, the phone rang for dozens of seconds, but no one answered. Therefore, Feng Zhixiang dialed a few more times. The result was still the same. Feng Zhixiang was so anxious that he paced around the room. ¡°No, I can¡¯t stay here like this. I have to go to Jiangbei!¡± After saying that, Feng Zhixiang picked up his phone and booked the latest flight to Jiangbei. Then, he quickly ran outside. ¡­ On the other hand, the Foreign Chip Alliance. The president, the vice president of the eastern region, the vice president of the western region, the vice president of the southern region, and the vice president of the northern region were all gathered together. They drank red wine and ate steak with relaxed expressions. At this moment, the president seemed to have thought of something and asked, ¡°Has Dahua Group decided to provide the specific data of the super battery?¡± ¡°Not yet,¡± said the vice president of the eastern region. The president frowned and asked, ¡°How are Dahua¡¯s phones now?¡± ¡°This month¡¯s shipment volume has dropped by 200% year-on-year. Next month¡¯s shipment volume will be even lower,¡± said the vice president of the eastern region. ¡°Last month, it dropped by 200%. Next month, it¡¯ll drop by 400%. And the month after that¡­ Tsk tsk, I don¡¯t know just how long can Dahua last.¡± ¡°No matter how good a cell phone is, it¡¯s just a brick without a chip,¡± said the vice president of the southern region. ¡°I think Dahua can only last for half a year at most. It¡¯s time to admit defeat¡­¡± After pausing for a moment, the vice president continued, ¡°If they give up on using super batteries, what should we do?¡± ¡°What should we do?¡± The president grinned. ¡°Our Foreign Chip Alliance has always respected human rights and loved peace. How can we sell chips to a company that doesn¡¯t even want to provide dangerous battery data?¡± Everyone smiled. At this moment, the president¡¯s phone rang urgently. Chapter 391 - Chapter 391 Arriving at the Villa; The Performance Is Not Bad! Chapter 391 Arriving at the Villa; The Performance Is Not Bad! The president looked at the caller ID and casually picked up the call. ¡°Hello, Professor Jerry.¡± In the next moment¡­ The president suddenly stood up and shouted, ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°The carbon-based photolithographic machine has been invented? ¡°And it was invented by Lin Fan, who invented the super battery?!¡± The president¡¯s phone fell to the ground. Silence! The entire scene was silent! Everyone present knew what the invention of the carbon-based photolithographic machine and the fact that the inventor was Lin Fan meant. Once the carbon-based photolithographic machine appeared, the silicon-based chips that they had mastered would soon be completely eliminated. The silicon-based chip was their lifeblood, and now it was going to be completely abandoned by the world? In addition, they had been constantly making things hard for Dahua Group during this period of time. Lin Fan had given the super battery to Dahua Group. Clearly, they had a deep relationship. If that were the case, even if they wanted to work with Lin Fan, it would probably be an extravagant hope. The Foreign Chip Alliance was done for! ¡­ The next day, the sky was clear. Ran Fei did not know what Lin Fan wanted to discuss with him about the chip. However, he still took a plane to Jiangbei. After all, this was the first time Lin Fan had asked him to go over. Besides, he could also deal with other matters in Jiangbei, have a change of environment, and change his mood¡­ It was not bad! After Ran Fei got off the plane, he took out his phone and dialed Lin Fan¡¯s number. ¡­ At this moment, the sky was bright. Lin Fan opened his eyes and picked up his phone out of habit. Coincidentally, he received a call. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Ran Fei. He immediately pressed the answer button. ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m already in Jiangbei. Should I go straight to Jiangbei University to look for you?¡± Ran Fei asked. Lin Fan thought about it and said, ¡°Come to Coiling Dragon Villa directly.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Ran Fei said. After hanging up, Lin Fan got up from his bed. After all, Ran Fei would be coming over later, and he could be considered a guest. He could not possibly continue lying in bed, right? ¡­ When Lin Fan woke up and washed up, the director of the Institute of Science, Feng Zhixiang, was standing at the school gate. He was pacing around and looking at his watch. His face was filled with anxiety. ¡°Director Feng, why don¡¯t we wait in the office?¡± Vice-Chancellor Feng Weijian asked. When Lin Fan comes to school, I¡¯ll get him to look for you.¡± At five or six o¡¯clock today, he suddenly received a call from the security captain. He said that someone was standing at the school gate early in the morning, saying that he was waiting for someone. Moreover, he said that he knew him. When Feng Weijian arrived at the school gate, he realized that it was Feng Zhixiang, the director of the Institute of Science. Feng Zhixiang waved his hand. Then, he took out his phone and dialed Lin Fan¡¯s number. This time, it was not like before, where it kept ringing but no one picked up. This time, it only rang twice. Then, Lin Fan¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°Hello?¡± The call was connected! Lin Fan had picked up the call! Feng Zhixiang said excitedly, ¡°Lin Fan, you finally picked up the phone. Where are you? Is it convenient for me to look for you now?¡± ¡°Sure, I¡¯m at the Coiling Dragon Villa,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be right there!¡± Feng Zhixiang said excitedly. After hanging up the phone, Feng Zhixiang quickly ran outside and hailed a taxi. He said, ¡°Coiling Dragon Villa.¡± The taxi driver stepped on the accelerator, leaving Feng Weijian at the school gate in a daze. Huh¡­ He left? ¡­ Coiling Dragon Villa. Although Ran Fei had seen a lot of the world,when he walked into the courtyard of the Coiling Dragon Villa, he could not help but be surprised. There were park-like greenery, castle-like villas, supercars, luxury cars, and even private jets everywhere! The people who lived here were definitely extraordinary! Under the guidance of the security guard, Ran Fei pressed the doorbell. After a while, Lin Fan opened the door. ¡°Mr. Lin, long time no see.¡± Ran Fei suppressed the surprise in his heart and took the initiative to step forward and extend his hand. ¡°Yeah, long time no see.¡± Lin Fan stretched out his hand, and the two of them shook hands. Then, the two of them walked inside together. Soon, Ran Fei was attracted by the huge carbon-based photolithographic machine in the living room. ¡°Mr. Lin, what is this?¡± he asked. ¡°A carbon-based photolithographic machine,¡± Lin Fan replied casually. ¡°Oh, a carbon-based¡­¡± Ran Fei said. Before he could finish speaking, his entire body seemed to be stuck. His eyes were wide open, and his face was filled with disbelief. He turned to ask, ¡°M-Mr. Lin, you just said¡­What is this?¡± Just as Lin Fan was about to reply, the doorbell rang. Thus, he had no choice but to open the door. ¡°Lin Fan, I¡¯ve finally found you. Did you really make a major discovery in carbon-based photolithographic machines?¡± Feng Zhixiang asked hurriedly. Lin Fan pointed at the carbon-based photolithographic machine and said, ¡°Over there.¡± Feng Zhixiang looked in the direction Lin Fan was pointing at and could not help but ask curiously, ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± ¡°A carbon-based photolithographic machine,¡± Lin Fan said. When Ran Fei heard Lin Fan¡¯s affirmation, his body shook. Feng Zhixiang could not wait to come to the carbon-based photolithographic machine. He said excitedly, ¡°This¡­ This is a carbon-based photolithographic machine? You invented it?¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Yeah.¡± His tone was so relaxed and indifferent as if he was talking about the weather today. ¡°How do we do this?¡± Feng Zhixiang asked hurriedly. ¡°Can we make chips now?¡± Lin Fan walked forward and pressed a few buttons. Soon, a chip the size of a pinky appeared in front of him. Feng Zhixiang said with a dry throat, ¡°This¡­ This is¡­¡± Ran Fei did not speak. However, his eyes were fixed on the chip. ¡°A carbon-based chip,¡± Lin Fan said. Although Feng Zhixiang and Ran Fei had already realized this answer,when they heard it, their faces were still filled with surprise. Ran Fei¡¯s Dahua Group had been researching carbon-based chips. Feng Zhixiang represented the Hua Nation government, so there was no need to mention it! The carbon-based chip that they had been researching for many years had appeared in front of their eyes just like that? This gave them a feeling that it was not real. ¡°How¡¯s the performance of this carbon-based chip?¡± Feng Zhixiang hurriedly asked. Ran Fei also cast a curious look. That was right. The carbon-based chip was out, but what was its performance? After all, a chip was not made for show. It needed to be powerful enough. If the performance was very poor, it might not be comparable to silicon-based chips at all. In that case, it did not mean much. As for the carbon-based chip data that they knew, it was completely useless. After all, they had not succeeded in developing it. Lin Fan said, ¡°The performance is alright. You can try using it in your own phone.¡± As he spoke, he handed over the carbon-based chip. Chapter 392 - Chapter 392 Shocked; Cooperation Completed! Chapter 392 Shocked; Cooperation Completed! ¡°I¡¯ll put it in the chip,¡± Ran Fei quickly said. Many directors knew how to manage and operate a company. However, they did not understand the company¡¯s technology at all. Ran Fei was different. He was originally from a technical background. After starting the company, he spent a lot of time every day learning the latest technology. It was because he felt that only by understanding the development of the industry could the company move in the right direction. Otherwise, it would be easy to make the wrong decision when there was a disagreement within the company. After a while, Ran Fei connected the chip to his phone. Feng Zhixiang, who was beside him, had already leaned his head over. Ran Fei turned on music, videos, and 3A games in a row¡­ Without any hesitation, they all opened in an instant. Then, he opened the evaluation software, and the points on it kept rising. 100,000! ¡­ One million! Five million! 10 million! 20 million! 30 million! 50 million! 100 million! At this point, the points slowly stopped. Ran Fei¡¯s eyes widened, and he was completely stunned. Feng Zhixiang, who was beside him, saw that Ran Fei had not spoken and could not help but ask, ¡°How is it? What¡¯s the performance of this chip? Chairman Ran, say something.¡± Feng Zhixiang also knew Ran Fei. However, it was obvious that he did not know much about chips. Ran Fei said, ¡°It¡¯s very¡­ very powerful! The latest generation of silicon-based chips used in mobile phones can run about one million. ¡°And this carbon-based chip has reached 100 million points!¡± When he said this, Ran Fei¡¯s tone was filled with shock. ¡°One million, 100 million¡­¡± Feng Zhixiang said. ¡°A difference of 100 times! ¡°Good, good, good! Hahaha! That¡¯s great!¡± Feng Zhixiang shouted excitedly. In fact, he was so excited that his entire body started to tremble, and tears could be seen at the corners of his eyes. He was loyal to Hua Nation and knew very well what kind of predicament Hua Nation¡¯s chips were facing. Now, this predicament had been solved! Then, Feng Zhixiang said, ¡°Lin Fan, can I bring this chip and this photolithographic machine to Jingbei to study?¡± ¡°Sure,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°However, I originally planned to work with Dahua Group on this.¡± After all, he was working with Dahua Group on super batteries. After getting along with Ran Fei, he felt that he was a good person. In addition, Ran Fei contributed to Lin Fan obtaining the carbon-based photolithographic machine and its technology to a certain extent. Hence, Lin Fan decided to work with him again. ¡°Dahua Group is a very good technology company. It¡¯s a very good choice for you to work with them,¡± said Feng Zhixiang. ¡°In addition, I¡¯ll apply to the higher-ups for all the preferential conditions, including land, taxes, and so on!¡± When Ran Fei heard this, he was so happy that he almost jumped up. Then, Feng Zhixiang took out his phone and made a call. Not long after¡­ A large military green plane appeared in the sky and slowly landed in the courtyard of the Coiling Dragon Villa. A huge gust of wind stirred up a cloud of dust. A few soldiers walked over quickly and stood on both sides of the plane like poles. ¡°Director Feng, what do you need to transport?¡± one of the soldiers asked. ¡°That! Try not to damage it.¡± Feng Zhixiang pointed at the carbon-based photolithographic machine and reminded him. ¡°Yes, sir!¡± the soldier replied. Then, a few soldiers used a jack, a large manual forklift, ropes, and other tools to transport the carbon-based photolithographic machine to the plane. ¡°Lin Fan¡­¡± Feng Zhixiang said. Lin Fan did not wait for him to finish. He handed over the instruction manual and schematics that he had asked Lil White to prepare. ¡°I won¡¯t go over. You can just take this with you.¡± After all, Lin Fan had just returned from Jingbei. He did not want to go over again. That would be too troublesome. Lin Fan hated trouble. Feng Zhixiang flipped through it slightly and said excitedly, ¡°Thank you, Lin Fan!¡± Lin Fan waved his hand. ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter.¡± After the plane made a sound, the military green plane gradually disappeared into the distance. Then, Lin Fan¡¯s gaze landed on Ran Fei. ¡°Chairman Ran, did you hear what I just said?¡± Ran Fei naturally understood what Lin Fan meant and said, ¡°Our Dahua Group can take out 20% of the shares and give you the sole agency rights for carbon-based chips. At the same time, 50% of the profits from all carbon-based chips will belong to you¡­ What do you think?¡± He directly took out 20% of the shares! There was 50% of the profits from the carbon-based chips too! It had to be said that Ran Fei was very decisive! One had to know that Dahua Group was a technology giant with a market value of more than a trillion! In addition, because Dahua Group was not listed, even if others had money, they would not be able to obtain a large number of shares. Ran Fei himself only owned 20% of Dahua Group¡¯s shares. This was equivalent to Ran Fei directly taking out half of the shares in exchange for the general distribution rights of the carbon-based chips. ¡°Sure,¡± Lin Fan said indifferently. His thoughts were very simple. He did not want to be bothered with anything. That would be too troublesome. Ran Fei¡¯s face lit up when he heard that. He believed that the future of carbon-based chips was absolutely vast. Correspondingly, the future of Dahua Group would also become more brilliant! Then, Ran Fei made a phone call. In the afternoon, two men in suits and leather shoes arrived at Coiling Dragon Villa with a thick document. This¡­ It was the contract that Ran Fei had asked someone to draft. Ran Fei spent ten minutes reading the contract carefully from beginning to end. Then, he handed it to Lin Fan and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, please take a look.¡± One page, two pages¡­ In just ten seconds, Lin Fan had finished flipping through all the contents of the contract. He said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s do it this way.¡± Ran Fei¡¯s lips twitched. Even though the last time he signed the contract with Lin Fan, Lin Fan had only glanced at it casually¡­ At that time, it only involved 1.5 billion yuan and 50% of the super battery¡¯s profits. This time, it involved 20% of Dahua Group¡¯s shares and 50% of the profits from the carbon-based chips! Was he not afraid that there would be a problem with the contract if he only read through it casually? Lin Fan did not care about Ran Fei¡¯s thoughts. After all, he had scanning abilities and Professional Law Experience. With a single glance, he memorized the contents of the entire contract and could easily see if there were any traps in the terms. Then, Lin Fan picked up the fountain pen and signed his name. He pushed the contract to Ran Fei and said, ¡°I¡¯ve signed it.¡± Only then did Ran Fei react and say, ¡°Ah¡­¡± Ah¡­ Alright.¡± As he spoke, he also signed his name and stamped the official seal of Dahua Group. At this point¡­ Dahua Group and Lin Fan had reached an official agreement on carbon-based chips! Chapter 393 - 393 Internet Discussion; Praise! 393 Internet Discussion; Praise! After Lin Fan and Ran Fei signed the contract, it was the weekend. Lin Fan lay at home for two days. Monday morning. As usual, Lin Fan looked at his phone out of habit. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,596,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, he turned his attention to the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,000,000 yuan.] Lin Fan did not care about that at all. After breakfast, he drove the Cullinan to Jiangbei University. After lying in bed for two days, he returned to the campus. He looked at the students walking and laughing, the students playing basketball on the field, and the students standing in the corner reading English aloud¡­ Lin Fan also became energetic. At this moment, an extremely excited voice came from not far away. ¡°Lin Fan!¡± Then, Professor Wang Jun and Professor Chen Haiyang from the Department of Computer Science walked over with the latest Science journal. When they came in front of Lin Fan, they bowed and said respectfully, ¡°Thank you, Lin Fan!¡± This morning, when they saw the latest Science journal, they were so shocked that they could not control themselves. This was because there was only one thesis title on the cover of this issue of Science! Rather, there was only one thesis in the entire journal! That was the Principle and Usage of Carbon-Based Photolithographic Machines! The first author of the thesis was Lin Fan. Their names were on the second author! This ¡®thank you¡¯ was not just because Lin Fan had placed their names as the second author. The most important reason was that Lin Fan had invented the carbon-based photolithographic machine, allowing Hua Nation to finally take a solid step forward in the field of chips! This step was their¡­ or rather, it was the step that all Hua Nation computer scientists hoped to take. Now, it had finally become reality! Lin Fan waved his hand nonchalantly. ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter.¡± Small matter? That was right! In Lin Fan¡¯s eyes, it was just a small matter. After all, it only took him about an hour and a half to easily obtain the carbon-based photolithographic machine. Lin Fan did not chat with them and continued walking forward. Wang Jun and Chen Haiyang looked at Lin Fan¡¯s back as he walked away. While they praised him, their faces gradually revealed an unconcealable joy. This was because their names were written on the paper The Principle and Usage of Carbon-Based Photolithographic Machines! Even if it was only as the second author, it was still a very impressive achievement! If the history of the internet appeared in books in the future, their names might also appear! ¡­ When Lin Fan arrived at the classroom, the students were laughing and chatting as usual. They were extremely relaxed. At this moment, a series of brisk footsteps sounded from outside the corridor. Then, Counselor Sun Yaodong walked in with a smile. He cleared his throat and said, ¡°Everyone should know that chips have always been a headache for our country! ¡°Now, I want to tell you a piece of good news. This headache no longer exists! ¡°Because Lin Fan, from this class, has invented a carbon-based photolithographic machine. It can easily produce carbon-based chips that are 100 times more powerful than today¡¯s high-end silicon-based chips! ¡°Let us give a warm round of applause to Student Lin Fan!¡± The entire classroom fell silent. Everyone was stunned. Even though they were not computer science majors, they also knew that the mainstream chips in the world today were all silicon-based chips. However, Lin Fan invented¡­ a carbon-based chip that was easily 100 times more powerful than silicon-based chips. How incredible was this? It was actually the work of their classmate? They were both in compulsory education, so why was he so outstanding? Sun Yaodong saw that none of the students had any reaction, so he called out again, ¡°Everyone, please applaud and congratulate Lin Fan!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and clapped. Then, the entire classroom burst into thunderous applause. Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Lin Fan, their faces filled with admiration. In fact, it was not just the students who looked at Lin Fan with admiration. Counselor Sun Yaodong was the same. His face even had a touch of redness. After a long time, the applause slowly stopped. ¡°The facts have proven that my judgment is very good!¡± Sun Yaodong said again. ¡°Lin Fan, well done. You¡¯ve brought glory to our class!¡± Lin Fan¡¯s lips twitched. Was it not because he had solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture that he was accepted to study at Jiangbei University? ¡®How is it related to your judgment? ¡®Also, Counselor Sun, do you really only know how to praise people by saying ¡®bringing glory¡¯?¡¯ After Sun Yaodong said a few words, he did not stay in the classroom for long. After all, this was not his class. After Sun Yaodong left, the classroom was filled with discussions. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, aren¡¯t you too awesome? You actually invented a carbon-based photolithographic machine!¡± ¡°Is that chip really so powerful?¡± ¡°When can it be listed?¡± ¡­ However, the students did not discuss it for long before the old professor slowly walked in. The old professor first used a pair of murky eyes that emitted a faint light to stay on Lin Fan for a few seconds before starting today¡¯s lecture. The old professor¡¯s course was not very attractive to many people. Now, everyone was even less interested. Their thoughts were all on Lin Fan¡¯s carbon-based photolithographic machine. Some people quietly took out their phones and searched for relevant content on the internet. At this moment, Song Yi, who was secretly looking at his phone, suddenly shouted, ¡°F*ck!¡± It was because he saw a piece of news¡ªDahua Group used 20% of the shares to obtain the general distribution rights of the carbon-based chip invented by Lin Fan. At the same time, Lin Fan also had 50% of the profits from the carbon-based chip. Dahua Group was a giant company with a market value of more than a trillion yuan. 20% of the shares meant that Lin Fan had become a billionaire! What a terrifying number! How could Song Yi not scream? However, how would he know that Lin Fan¡¯s net worth was a few hundred billion? His voice was like a stone thrown into a lake, completely breaking the silence. Everyone, including the old professor, focused their attention on Song Yi. Song Yi also noticed this and felt so guilty that he wanted to bury his head under the table. Fortunately, the old professor did not make a fuss. He only glanced at Song Yi twice before continuing his lecture. ¡­ In fact, it was not just this piece of news. The top search on Weibo was also about Lin Fan. Daily: [Congratulations to Lin Fan of Jiangbei University for developing a carbon-based photolithographic machine!] Almost the instant this post appeared, countless comments poured in like snowflakes. Firmament: [The fewer words, the bigger the matter!] Whirlpool: [God Lin Fan is awesome!] Hehe, Did You Smile: [Lin Fan is awesome!] Boom, Boom, Boom: [Can you explain what a carbon-based photolithographic machine is?] Deep Sea: [Let me explain. Photolocation machines were used to produce chips. Before today, they were all silicon-based photolithographic machines used to produce silicon-based chips. [As the name suggests, carbon-based photolithographic machines are used to produce carbon-based chips. [And the carbon-based chip that God Lin Fan invented is a hundred times better than the highest-end silicon-based chip!] As Long as You¡¯re Happy: [F*ck! A hundred times? This is too awesome!] Mr. Huang: [Wait, why do I feel that the name Lin Fan is a little familiar?] Disheartened: [Familiar? You¡¯re right! If you search for Lin Fan of Jiangbei University on the internet, you¡¯ll find that he not only solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, Hail Conjecture, Hodge Conjecture, and other difficult mathematical problems. [In addition, he invented the earthquake prediction device and the human islet recovery medicine.] Yang Xiaozhong: [On the internet, I¡¯m constantly reminded that I¡¯m here to make up the numbers.] Fate: [God Lin Fan, is f*cking awesome!] ¡­ Compared to the excitement in Hua Nation, the situation overseas was bleak. Karen: [A carbon-based chip? Such a thing was actually invented!] Jerry: [More importantly, the person who invented it is actually a young man from Hua Nation!] Alexander: [A young man from Hua Nation? No! This must be fake news!] JJ: [False news? Are you saying that Science published a fake paper for Hua Nation? Or could it be that Jon Durai, Molinston, Arnold, Abel, and the others, the top names in the field of computers and chips, are all faking it for Lin Fan? If this is the case, then it¡¯ll be even scarier than Hua Nation manufacturing carbon-based chips!] A Erba: [Is it that difficult to admit that others are strong? Mr. Lin Fan has solved many math problems, invented the earthquake prediction device, and even the human islet recovery medicine¡­ He¡¯s known as the existence with the strongest brain on Earth!] ¡­ Regarding these¡­ Lin Fan did not care at all. Other than the students who gathered around to give him a thumbs up and praise him after class, he was still eating and sleeping as usual. In the blink of an eye, the day¡¯s classes were over. At the request of Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and the other students, Lin Fan brought them to AC Clubhouse. They ate top-grade abalone and sea cucumbers¡­ They drank XO and Roman¨¦e-Conti¡­ They enjoyed god-like massages¡­ All the students felt extremely comfortable. This time, perhaps due to the short period of time, he only spent a total of 680,000 yuan. At the same time, 68 red packets appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s phone. It was already 9:30 PM when they left AC Clubhouse. Lin Fan drove the Cullinan and listened to the pleasant song from the Eton speaker as he sped toward the Coiling Dragon Villa. Lin Fan had just arrived at the Coiling Dragon Villa when the phone in his pocket rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was his sister, Lin Xiaoyao. Hence, he pressed the answer button. ¡°Brother, are you the one who invented the carbon-based photolithographic machine?¡± As soon as the call connected, Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s voice sounded. Lin Fan rubbed his ears and said, ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± ¡°Then¡­ Dahua Group used 20% of their shares to obtain the sole agency rights for your carbon-based chips? Oh right, there¡¯s also a 50% profit?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked again. ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan said casually. ¡°F*ck, awesome!¡± Lin Xiaoyao shouted. ¡°Brother, I love you!¡± Lin Fan almost choked on his own saliva. He reminded her, ¡°Lil Yao, we¡¯re siblings!¡± Chapter 394 - 394 The Dogs Birthday; Decent Ability! (1) 394 The Dog¡¯s Birthday; Decent Ability! (1) After the carbon-based chip appeared, there was a lot of discussion on the internet. All the major cell phone companies held meetings. In the past, they only had silicon-based chips and had no choice. Now, carbon-based chips with higher performance had appeared. They had a choice now. However, the cell phone companies did not immediately say anything. After all, carbon-based chips had just appeared, and they did not know what the future held. If they offended the Foreign Chip Alliance because of this, it would definitely be a terrible disaster. Of course, there were also companies that were not afraid. For example¡­ Da Mi Group! The CEO of Da Mi Group, Leibs, posted on Weibo immediately. [Leibs: Congratulations to Lin Fan of Jiangbei University for developing the carbon-based photolithographic machine and realizing Hua Nation¡¯s chip! Our Da Mi Group¡¯s cell phones will all use Hua Nation¡¯s chips in the future!] The appearance of this Weibo post once again caused a heated discussion. One had to know¡­ Da Mi¡¯s cell phones were the top five cell phones in the world. Even if the carbon-based chip no longer accepted other orders, it still had an extremely broad future! Leibs¡¯ words were like dropping another bomb on the already turbulent mobile phone market. Many people began to wonder why Leibs had made such a decision so quickly. They did not know that Lin Fan owned 51% of Da Mi Group¡¯s shares and was the real boss. How could a worker like Leibs not support the chip invented by his boss? ¡­ Regarding these¡­ Lin Fan did not care. The next day, the sky was clear. He drove the Cullinan on a straight road. He did not know what had happened in front of him, but the entire road was very congested. Lin Fan looked at the densely packed cars and could not help but think of the students who had surrounded him yesterday, chattering and praising him. For some reason, Lin Fan suddenly thought of Su Ningjing. He thought of the empty scene in the mountain village and Su Ningjing¡¯s gentle appearance. Hence, Lin Fan took out his phone and sent a message to Sun Yaodong, asking for leave. Then, he turned the steering wheel and drove toward Washington Palace. After Lin Fan brought Su Ningjing and her family out of the village, he arranged for them to stay in Washington Palace. This was because Washington Palace had a good environment, was surrounded by parks, and had plenty of businesses. At the same time, it was the best school district in Jiangbei, which was convenient for Ah Mei to go to school. Not long after, Lin Fan parked the car steadily at Washington Palace. When Lin Fan took the elevator and went upstairs, he realized that the door was half open. Hence, Lin Fan walked in slowly. At this moment, the old lady walked out. Lin Fan said, ¡°Greetings, Granny.¡± The old lady smiled kindly. ¡°Ah Jing just went out to feed the stray dogs in the alley. She¡¯ll be back soon.¡± Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°Ningjing seems to like dogs a lot?¡± The old woman thought for a moment and said, ¡°It should stem from her love for the house and everything about it.¡± Then, she pointed at the big yellow dog beside her and said, ¡°Big Yellow was left behind by Ah Jing¡¯s parents before they passed away. Ah Jing has always treated it as her own family. ¡°Big Yellow is also very good. Once, when Ah Jing fainted in the field due to heatstroke, it was Big Yellow who called me over to bring Ah Jing back¡­¡± When the old lady said this, her wrinkled old face was full of sighs. The way Lin Fan looked at the yellow dog had changed as well. ¡°I almost forgot that there are still egg noodles in the pot.¡± After the old lady finished speaking, she was about to walk toward the kitchen. ¡°Granny, I¡¯ll help you scoop it.¡± He walked into the kitchen first and asked, ¡°Granny, which bowl should I use?¡± ¡°The silver iron bowl on the counter.¡± Lin Fan was stunned. There was indeed a silver bowl on the counter. However, to Lin Fan, this was not a metal bowl at all. It was a silver metal basin! Granny wanted to eat so much? Lin Fan was a little confused, but he still scooped the egg noodles in. It had to be said that the size of this silver basin was just nice. It just happened to fit all the egg noodles in the pot. Then, Lin Fan brought the egg noodles to the dining table. ¡°You put it in the wrong place.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Fan did not understand. ¡°This bowl of noodles is for Big Yellow. Today is Big Yellow¡¯s birthday, so I made a bowl of longevity noodles for it.¡± Lin Fan finally had a look of realization. No wonder she used such a big iron bowl for the noodles. Lin Fan had just placed the noodles in front of Big Yellow when it went up and started to eat the noodles in big mouthfuls. It was very satisfied. At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside. ¡°Lin Fan!¡± Su Ningjing was pleasantly surprised and called out to the man. At the same time, her beautiful eyes seemed to be shining with starlight, extremely brilliant. Lin Fan looked at how happy she was, and his mood lightened up. Su Ningjing took two steps forward and said, ¡°Lin Fan, when did you come?¡± ¡°I just arrived,¡± Lin Fan said. Then, the two of them talked about some ordinary things. For example, whether he had eaten breakfast, whether there was a traffic jam on the road, whether she was used to life here, and so on. However, the two of them seemed to be talking about very interesting topics. There were sweet smiles on their faces. At this moment, Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since we went shopping. Let¡¯s go out for a walk?¡± Su Ningjing did not hesitate at all. She nodded and said, ¡°Alright!¡± Chapter 395 - 395 The Dogs Birthday; Decent Ability! (2) 395 The Dog¡¯s Birthday; Decent Ability! (2) Then, she waved her hand at Big Yellow and said, ¡°Big Yellow, happy birthday!¡± Lin Fan and Su Ningjing walked downstairs together. When they passed by an alley, several dogs wagged their tails and rubbed against Su Ningjing¡¯s feet intimately. Su Ningjing bent down and stroked the dogs¡¯ heads. ¡°Everyone, be good. I¡¯ll come over later¡­ Hurry up and go back.¡± Obviously, these were the stray dogs she fed. Lin Fan looked at these dogs and thought of Big Yellow upstairs. His heart skipped a beat, and he took out his phone to send a message. Lin Fan did not take Su Ningjing to the mall today. Instead, they walked on a narrow sidewalk, visited a quiet park, and went to a clear lake¡­Holding hands, they strolled forward and spoke the words of love in their hearts. Unknowingly¡­ The sun slowly set. At this moment, it was as if a large patch of bright red flowers had bloomed in the distant sky. It was extremely gorgeous. The two of them leaned against each other, and time seemed to have stopped. At this moment, a breeze blew from afar. ¡°Ningjing, let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll bring you to a place.¡± In Su Ningjing¡¯s heart, as long as she was with Lin Fan, she was willing to go anywhere. She nodded gently and said, ¡°Alright.¡± ¡­ Imperial Hotel. General Manager Wang Fengyi spent most of his time in the office dealing with matters. Today, he had been standing in the hall for the entire afternoon. As the sky gradually darkened, a series of crisp footsteps sounded outside. Then¡­ A tall and handsome man, holding the arm of a graceful woman, slowly walked over. It was Lin Fan and Su Ningjing. When Wang Fengyi saw the two of them, he quickly came up and said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin and Ms. Su.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Bring us there.¡± ¡°Yes, this way please., Wang Fengyi said. After a while, Lin Fan and Su Ningjing arrived at the luxurious banquet hall on the 78th floor. As soon as the door of the banquet hall was pushed open, loud and noisy barks sounded from inside. Su Ningjing took a closer look and found that Big Yellow and the stray dogs in the alley were all inside. Not only that, but there were also many photos of dogs hanging on the walls of the banquet hall. In the middle of the banquet hall, there was a huge photo of Big Yellow with a birthday cake. When the large group of dogs saw that Su Ningjing was here, they all wagged their tails and ran over, constantly rubbing against Su Ningjing¡¯s feet. At this moment, two rows of men in small suits slowly walked in with small bags. As they walked, they played the birthday song. At the same time, a waiter pushed a large cake made of M9 beef and followed behind them. Lin Fan placed two golden candles on the M9 beef and lit them with a lighter. This was all for Big Yellow¡¯s birthday. If an outsider saw this, who knew what kind of expression they would have? One had to know¡­ Such a large piece of M9 beef would cost tens of thousands of yuan, and a pure gold candle would cost thousands of yuan. To book a luxurious banquet hall would require more than 50,000 yuan! In other words, the total cost of celebrating this dog¡¯s birthday was close to 100,000 yuan! Most people would not spend that much money on their birthdays! Even people were inferior to dogs now! ¡°Big Yellow doesn¡¯t know how to blow out candles. Ningjing, you can help it,¡± Lin Fan said. Su Ningjing also understood that Lin Fan had specially made these arrangements for Big Yellow¡¯s birthday. In Su Ningjing¡¯s heart, Big Yellow was her family. Lin Fan did all this clearly because he also treated Big Yellow as a family member. Su Ningjing could not help but feel touched. She nodded and said, ¡°Alright!¡± After blowing out the candles, Big Yellow and a large group of stray dogs divided the M9 beef cake into portions and ate it heartily. They were very satisfied. Su Ningjing was very happy to see the dogs eating so happily. She snuggled into Lin Fan¡¯s embrace, feeling extremely blissful. The birthday party lasted until 9 PM before finally coming to an end. Su Ningjing and Lin Fan looked at Big Yellow and the stray dogs. After they were picked up by professional breeders, they left the Imperial Hotel with Lin Fan. The two of them arrived at a place not far from Washington Palace¡­ They were in a courtyard of an old bungalow that occupied an area of nearly 2,000 square meters. ¡°Let¡¯s go inside and take a look.¡± As Lin Fan spoke, he pushed open the door of the courtyard. A group of stray dogs ran over excitedly, wagging their tails and rubbing Su Ningjing¡¯s legs. Su Ningjing could not help but be a little stunned. She asked, ¡°You¡­ Why are you guys here?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°That alley is a little small. It can¡¯t house too many stray dogs. In the future, you can place the stray dogs you adopt here.¡± When Su Ningjing heard this, her heart trembled slightly. She understood now. In order to allow her to raise more dogs, Lin Fan bought this mansion. At this moment, Su Ningjing¡¯s entire heart seemed to have completely melted. ¡°Lin Fan.¡± She called out softly, ignoring the fact that the door to the courtyard was not closed yet. She also ignored the many dogs around her¡­ She tiptoed lightly and moved closer to Lin Fan¡¯s face. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ They were warm and moist. ¡­ A few minutes later, Su Ningjing¡¯s heels slowly landed on the ground. Suddenly, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve completed the hidden mission¡ªProtect animals. You¡¯ve acquired the skill, Animal Communication.] What was this? Lin Fan was a little confused and focused his attention on Animal Communication. [Animal Communication: Able to understand the language of animals and have the ability to communicate with them.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s eyes twitched. Communicating with animals seemed to be an interesting ability! At this moment, a slightly dull voice sounded in his ear. ¡°The food today was really delicious.¡± Lin Fan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a dog that had some spots on his body groaning. Obviously, it was the one speaking. ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve never eaten such delicious food before,¡± a black dog said. ¡°In the past, I didn¡¯t have enough to eat every day, and I was often beaten up by others¡­ Ever since I met the mistress, I¡¯ve never been hungry again. Today, I even ate such delicious food¡­ In the future, I must protect my mistress well,¡± the white dog said. ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± ¡°We have to protect the mistress well!¡± The white dog¡¯s words received the unanimous approval of all the dogs. ¡°Do you think the man next to the mistress is our master?¡± the black dog asked. ¡°The delicious food today seemed to have been prepared by him.¡± ¡°He should be our master¡­¡± ¡°Since he¡¯s our master, we have to protect him in the future too.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡± the dogs said. Hence, other than rubbing against Su Ningjing¡¯s feet, the dogs also rubbed against Lin Fan¡¯s feet. When Lin Fan heard this, he could not help but smile. These dogs knew how to repay kindness. Not bad! The black dog rubbed against Lin Fan¡¯s feet and slowly raised its head. Then, he said with a hesitant tone, ¡°I don¡¯t know why, but it feels like¡­ the master seems to understand me.¡± The spotted dog at the side could not help but ask, ¡°Understand you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible, right?¡± the white dog said. Then, all the dogs raised their heads¡­ ¡°I think¡­ I also have the same feeling.¡± ¡°Me too¡­¡± At this moment, the black dog said, ¡°Say¡­ Is the master also a dog?¡± The dogs fell into deep thought. When Lin Fan heard this, his lips twitched. These dogs were really too much! At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew in from outside the courtyard. The huge difference in temperature between day and night made Su Ningjing shiver. Lin Fan noticed this as well. He pulled Su Ningjing into his embrace and said softly, ¡°It¡¯s getting late. I¡¯ll send you back to rest first.¡± Su Ningjing nodded and replied softly. Then, she waved at the stray dogs. Only then did she walk out with Lin Fan. Chapter 396 - 396 Obtaining a School; Borrowing Money! 396 Obtaining a School; Borrowing Money! Jiangbei University, the female dormitory. Zhao Ni and Liu Yunzhu walked in while chatting. After dinner, Xia Bing and Xia Xue were reading. At this moment, they were still reading. Liu Yunzhu could not help but sigh. When she noticed the contents of Xia Bing and Xia Xue¡¯s books, Zhao Ni said, ¡°They¡¯re finally reading computer books again¡­ I¡¯ve always said that since you¡¯re computer geniuses, you should focus on computer science!¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue nodded noncommittally. After Zhao Ni and Liu Yunzhu left, Xia Bing and Xia Xue slowly raised their heads and looked at the Science magazine next to them. The Principle and Usage of Carbon-Based Photolithographic Machines. Lin Fan was the first author! Xia Bing and Xia Xue¡¯s beautiful eyes showed a little intoxication at first. Then, they became more determined and started reading computer books more seriously. ¡­ In the next few days, Lin Fan maintained his lifestyle of eating, going to school, and sleeping. He was extremely relaxed and satisfied. In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend. A ray of sunlight shone through the curtains and onto the balcony. Lin Fan, who was still asleep, heard the sound of chattering. ¡°Fortunately, I woke up early and caught another worm today.¡± ¡°I caught two.¡± ¡°Are you that lucky today?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! I even found a fruit!¡± ¡­ Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the curtains that were blown by the wind and the little sparrows on the treetops. Only then did he understand that these voices belonged to the little sparrow. He could not help but reveal a different kind of smile on his face. In the first few days, Lin Fan listened to the conversations of the animals and felt that it was very strange. Now, he was gradually used to it. Out of habit, he picked up his phone, and a text message appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,893,600 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, Lin Fan turned his attention to the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Edinburgh International School.] If the school next to Washington Palace was the best public primary and secondary school in Jiangbei, then Edinburgh International School was the most luxurious private school in Jiangbei. Located in the heart of Jiangbei City, Edinburgh International School covered an area of one million square meters. It was a towering castle-like school built by the famous designer Justin over five years and cost two billion yuan. This place¡­ Not only did they teach the students language, math, and other cultural knowledge, but they also taught them piano, violin, football, basketball, golf, horse riding, archery, etiquette, sociology, and foreign languages¡­ This would allow the students to develop in an all-rounded way. If the ordinary primary and secondary schools in Jiangbei could send the students to famous universities in the country, then Edinburgh International School would be able to send their students to famous international universities. The tuition fee for Edinburgh International School was 500,000 yuan per year. Even so, there were still many parents scrambling to enroll their children. However, even if these parents were willing to pay, their children could not enter as they wished. This was because both parents and children had to pass a strict written test and interview before they could obtain the qualifications to enter the school. Lin Fan rubbed his chin and said, ¡°Edinburgh International School? A school? What¡¯s the use of this?¡± ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s better than ten million yuan.¡± At this moment, his phone rang. Lin Fan saw that it was an unfamiliar number and immediately pressed the answer button. ¡­ ¡°This is the loan company. I¡¯m Manager Han. Do you have any financial needs? The operation is very simple. You can get the money in three days¡­¡± A dull voice came from the phone. Initially, Lin Fan thought that it was a call from the headmaster or some manager of the school. He did not expect it to be a call to promote loans. ¡°Really?¡± he asked casually. ¡°How much can I borrow?¡± The voice on the other end of the phone was noticeably raised. ¡°After you provide your ID card, you can borrow up to 500,000 yuan! Similarly, the loan can be released within three days.¡± Lin Fan pursed his lips and said, ¡°500,000? That¡¯s too little.¡± Too little? That was right! One had to know¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s daily income from breathing, sleeping, and walking alone was more than seven million. 500,000? He could earn it by breathing for an hour or two, right? Additionally, the loan company would only give out the money after three days. The voice on the other end of the phone did not sound depressed. On the contrary, the person became even more excited. If the customer thought that the money was too little, it meant that the other party really lacked money! ¡°If you have a house and a car, you can provide us with the relevant documents and you can borrow up to five million yuan!¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°I have to provide so many things but can only borrow five million?¡± Just the Coiling Dragon Villa that Lin Fan lived in was worth more than five million alone! Manager Han hurriedly said, ¡°Five million is just an estimate¡­ We give out loans based on the actual price of the property and the vehicle. Don¡¯t worry, our loan amount will definitely be higher and faster than any bank! We¡¯re a professional loan company with great strength!¡± Manager Han then asked after a pause, ¡°Where¡¯s your house? How big is the area? I can give you a loan amount right now.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Really? I have 132 houses in Washington Palace. I seem to have more than 1,000 houses in Zhenhu Yuting, and ten villas in the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex¡­ By the way, are office buildings considered real estate? Qiankun Building, Baijia Building, Global Financial Building, Zhenghua Building, Jiaye Building¡­ are all mine¡­Do the math first.¡± Beep, beep, beep! However, Lin Fan only received a busy tone. ¡­ In a dark office building. Manager Han spat softly. ¡°Ten units in the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex? Why don¡¯t you just say that the entire Coiling Dragon Villa Complex is yours? 132 houses in Washington Palace, Qiankun Building, Global Financial Building¡­ Pah! You don¡¯t even know your limits when bragging!¡± It was no wonder that Han Biao would think so. Each Coiling Dragon Villa was worth several hundred million yuan. The price of each unit in Washington Palace was a few million yuan. As for Qiankun Building and the Global Financial Building¡­ Those were buildings worth tens of billions. These¡­ All of them belonged to the same person? Was that not a big joke? ¡­ Lin Fan looked at his phone and muttered, ¡°Am I being treated as a liar? In this day and age, why don¡¯t people believe you when you tell the truth?¡± Lin Fan recalled the last name of the salesman. Manager Han¡­ He could not help but think of Han Tian, who also had the surname of Han. Lin Fan muttered to himself, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen her for a while. I have nothing to do today. I should go look for her.¡± After saying that, Lin Fan quickly washed up and walked out. He opened the door to the Cullinan, stepped on the accelerator, and sped into the distance. Chapter 397 - 397 Worry; I Will Solve It! 397 Worry; I Will Solve It! As it was the weekend, the road was very smooth. Not long after, Lin Fan arrived at Lianjia Real Estate. At this moment, Han Tian was looking at something on the computer, very focused. Lin Fan did not bother her and just looked at her quietly. As usual, Han Tian wore a black suit when she worked. As her figure was too good, she could only barely button the third button of her shirt. Even though she was sitting, there was no sign of fat on her abdomen. It was extremely smooth. Her figure was vase-shaped. At this moment, Han Tian slowly raised her head. The next moment, her beautiful eyes lit up as she said excitedly, ¡°Lin Fan! When did you arrive?¡± Han Tian¡¯s voice was full of magnetism. It was very pleasant to hear. Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯ve only just arrived.¡± Then, he slowly stepped forward and held Han Tian¡¯s slender waist. ¡°What are you busy with?¡± ¡°I¡¯m looking at the rental and sales situation of the houses in the area,¡± Han Tian said. ¡°Am I disturbing you?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°How could that be? Actually, I¡¯ve already memorized the data. It¡¯s just a habit of mine to check it every day to see if there are any changes,¡± Han Tian said. ¡°Ta Ta Ta!¡± At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside. A man in a suit slowly walked in with a bunch of keys and a document. When he saw Lin Fan hugging Han Tian, he was stunned. However, he still said, ¡°Hello, Manager Han, Mr. Lin.¡± His name was Wang Qi, and he was an ordinary employee of Lianjia. Even though Lin Fan had only been to Lianjia twice, his appearance shocked everyone there both times. The first time, Lin Fan brought the keys and the property ownership certificates to Washington Palace. The second time, Lin Fan brought the property ownership certificates and keys to the entire Zhenhu Yuting estate. Both times, Wang Qi was there and had a deep impression of Lin Fan. Recently, some colleagues said that Han Tian and Lin Fan were together. However, there were also many people who said that this was just a rumor. Now, it was confirmed. ¡­ Hearing Wang Qi¡¯s greeting, Han Tian blushed and nodded. After all, she had always acted like a strong woman in the office. Now, she was snuggling in Lin Fan¡¯s arms like a little girl. She was really not used to it. Lin Fan was very relaxed and said, ¡°You¡¯re called Wang Qi, right?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Wang Qi hurriedly said. ¡°How¡¯s business recently?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Thanks to you, business has been good recently.¡± Wang Qi was definitely not complimenting him. Lin Fan had given them the entire Washington Palace and Zhenhu Yuting estate to rent. One had to know¡­ Washington Palace was the best school district in Jiangbei, so they did not have to worry about renting the units out. Zhenhu Yuting was a residential area in the city center. There were many high-end office buildings around, so the units there were easy to rent out too. Every month, Wang Qi received a considerable amount of income. Lin Fan chatted for a while more before heading out with Han Tian. They walked on the quiet path and looked at the green grass, feeling very comfortable. At this moment, Lin Fan asked, ¡°You seem to be troubled? Did he run into some trouble at work?¡± When Lin Fan walked into Lianjia, he could easily tell that Han Tian seemed a little unhappy. It was only when she saw him that a smile appeared on her face. Han Tian¡¯s heart warmed when she saw how concerned Lin Fan was about her. However, she thought of something and sighed. ¡°It¡¯s not about work¡­ ¡°It¡¯s my dad¡­ ¡°My dad is a teacher at a private primary school. ¡°A while ago, there was a boy who bullied a girl. My father went up to stop him and reprimanded the boy. ¡°Who knew that the boy¡¯s father is a member of the school board? Not long after, my father was fired by the school. ¡°My dad really likes being a teacher, but he¡¯s already 50 years old now. In addition, he offended the board of directors, so no school is willing to accept him¡­ ¡°During this period of time, Dad has been going for interviews everywhere, but he¡¯s ruthlessly rejected each time¡­ I feel a little uncomfortable about the situation. ¡°I told him to give up on being a teacher and retire early, but he¡¯s unwilling.¡± It was no wonder that Han Tian was upset. If her father were just a young man, it would not be a big deal if he was rejected. However, the problem was that he was already so old¡­ If he continued to be rejected, his heart would definitely suffer incomparable pain. Lin Fan patted Han Tian¡¯s shoulder lightly and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Leave this matter to me¡­¡± ¡­ Han Zhengzhong, who had slightly grayed sideburns, was wearing a white shirt and carrying a briefcase as he slowly walked out of a primary school. The moment he stepped out of the school gate, his entire body trembled slightly. He failed! He failed yet another interview! Just as Han Tian had said, Han Zhengzhong was suffering from repeated failures. ¡°Could it be that I really can¡¯t do it?¡± Filled with self-denial, he walked slowly on the street like a walking corpse. At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang. After a while, Han Zhengzhong slowly picked up the call. ¡°Hello, is this Mr. Han Zhengzhong?¡± A very respectful voice came from the phone. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me. And you are?¡± Han Zhengzhong asked.¡± ¡°Hello, Mr. Han! I¡¯m Cai Xiaojun, the manager of the Human Resources Department at Edinburgh International School. We¡¯ve received your resume. We sincerely invite you to come to Edinburgh International School for an interview. Do you have the time?¡± Han Zhengzhong was stunned. Edinburgh International School? Was this not the most luxurious school in Jiangbei? The tuition fee for each student was 500,000 yuan. The treatment of teachers was several times better than outside! An interview? Did he submit his resume to this school? Even so, Han Zhengzhong still said, ¡°I have time! Can I go over now?¡± As long as a school invited him for an interview, he would give it a try! After all, there was no chance without an interview. Even if it was not even a one-in-a-ten-thousand chance, he would still do it! In addition, Han Zhengzhong had long wanted to visit the campus. However, the school was always closed off, and ordinary people could not enter. Now, there was a chance. ¡°Of course. May I ask where you are?¡± Cai Xiaojun said. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to drive over and pick you up now¡­¡± ¡°No need, no need,¡± Han Zhengzhong hurriedly said. ¡°I know the place. I can just take a taxi there.¡± Cai Xiaojun hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°Okay, we¡¯re looking forward to your arrival.¡± Chapter 398 - 398 Interviews; Successful! 398 Interviews; Successful! Han Zhengzhong stood by the roadside and called a taxi. Not long after, a tall and majestic building that looked like a huge castle appeared in front of him. This¡­ It was Edinburgh International School! In the past, Han Zhengzhong had seen this school from afar. However, he had mostly just taken glimpses. Now, Han Zhengzhong could stop to take a closer look and was inexplicably shocked. ¡°As expected of the most luxurious school in Jiangbei!¡± A tall security guard saw Han Zhengzhong standing at the door and could not help but walk over. ¡°Hello, what¡¯s the matter?¡± There was a hint of vigilance in his tone. One had to know¡­ There were often perverts who wanted to take revenge on society. The students at Edinburgh International School were all rich and powerful. The security guards would never allow such unfortunate cases to happen. As for the possibility that Han Zhengzhong was picking up a child from school, the idea did not even cross the security guard¡¯s mind. Even the nanny would drive a luxury car over to pick up the children. Han Zhengzhong had just arrived in a taxi. Han Zhengzhong only reacted after hearing the security guard¡¯s words. ¡°Ah¡­ I¡­ I¡¯m here for an interview.¡± ¡°An interview?¡± The security guard¡¯s expression became even more vigilant. Han Zhengzhong was simply too old. At this school, even the people who swept the trash were all young people in their 20s or 30s. When questioned by the security guard, Han Zhengzhong had a guilty conscience. What if the previous call was a scam? However, he had already come here. He could not just leave without doing anything, right? ¡°It was the HR manager, Cai Xiaojun, who called me for an interview,¡± Han Zhengzhong said. ¡°By the way, my name is Han Zhengzhong.¡± At this moment, the head of security, who was not far away, walked over quickly. ¡°Hello, Mr. Han. Manager Cai is waiting for you in Conference Room 501 of Teaching Building 2.¡± Han Zhengzhong heaved a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, the phone call just now was not a scam. He¡­ He had indeed received an interview invitation from Edinburgh International School. ¡°Alright,¡± Han Zhengzhong said after a while. Han Zhengzhong looked at the school from the outside and felt that it was very tall and magnificent. Walking in, he saw the green grass, the brand new rubber track, and the exquisite statue¡­ It gave him the illusion that he was in Century Park. A moment later, Han Zhengzhong arrived at Teaching Building 2 and took the luxury elevator. He did not feel any sense of weightlessness, and with a ding, he arrived at the fifth floor. Han Zhengzhong adjusted his clothes and knocked on the door of Conference Room 501. ¡°Please come in!¡± At this moment, three people were sitting in the meeting room. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Han Zhengzhong.¡± When the three of them heard this, fawning expressions flashed across their faces. ¡°Hello, Mr. Han,¡± a round-faced man said. ¡°I¡¯m Cai Xiaojun, who called you just now.¡± ¡°Hello, Manager Cai,¡± Han Zhengzhong said. ¡°Mr. Han, can you introduce yourself?¡± Cai Xiaojun nodded.¡± ¡°Alright¡­¡± Therefore, Han Zhengzhong briefly explained his work experience. ¡°Alright!¡± Cai Xiaojun said with a smile. ¡°From your resume, you have more than 20 years of teaching experience! ¡°In addition, you¡¯ve been a form teacher for several years. It can be said that you have a wealth of experience in teaching and management! ¡°We at Edinburgh International School lack teachers like you! ¡°On behalf of Edinburgh International School, I welcome you!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Han Zhengzhong was stunned. What did Cai Xiaojun mean? He wanted to hire him? However, he had only briefly introduced himself. This¡­ was very good? Han Zhengzhong said after a while, ¡°Actually, I lost my last job because I criticized a boy who bullied a girl. The boy¡¯s father happens to be a member of the school board. So, I was fired.¡± Cai Xiaojun smiled. ¡°You¡¯re not afraid of power and treat everyone equally. This is a very outstanding quality.¡± ¡°I might retire after a few years,¡± Han Zhengzhong added. ¡°I just said that this means that you have rich teaching and management experience. Even if you retire after a few years, you¡¯re still a very rare talent!¡± Cai Xiaojun said. Seeing that Han Zhengzhong was about to say something, Cai Xiaojun said, ¡°Also, I noticed that when you walked into our conference room, you took the first step with your right leg. ¡°Your right leg is the leg of hope. This means that you will bring endless hope to our Edinburgh International School!¡± Han Zhengzhong lowered his head. Was it an advantage to step in using the right leg first? Cai Xiaojun did not care much and continued, ¡°I think you¡¯re very suitable for the position of the Dean of Education at our Edinburgh International School. Your monthly salary will be 100,000 yuan, and you¡¯ll get a high bonus at the end of the year. You¡¯ll also receive reimbursement for parking fees, gas fees, meals, and other benefits. What do you think?¡± Han Zhengzhong was stunned. A monthly salary of 100,000 yuan and a high year-end bonus. All expenses would also be covered? It was said that the salary of a teacher at Edinburgh International School was several times that of a teacher at other schools. How many times? It was more than ten times! Han Zhengzhong¡¯s previous salary was only 7,000 to 8,000, and he did not get any benefits. Seeing that Han Zhengzhong did not respond, Cai Xiaojun could not help but say, ¡°Of course, if you¡¯re not satisfied, we can continue to discuss¡­ ¡°We, Edinburgh International School, are really looking forward to having you join us.¡± Han Zhengzhong finally reacted and said, ¡°No, no, I¡¯m very satisfied.¡± Cai Xiaojun heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°That¡¯s great. Welcome to Edinburgh International School.¡± As he spoke, he took the initiative to extend his right hand. Han Zhengzhong extended his trembling right hand and shook it gently. ¡­ Lin Fan and Han Tian were strolling in a quiet park. At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket rang with a crisp notification. Lin Fan waved his phone and said, ¡°Your father¡¯s job has been confirmed. He has been interviewed and signed the contract. He was hired according to the procedures.¡± When Han Tian heard this, her beautiful eyes glistened with tears. Lin Fan¡¯s actions gave her father a chance to work. Secondly, he had also given face to her father. This was simply too considerate of him. ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re so good to me,¡± Han Tian said gently. Then, she could not help but snuggle into Lin Fan¡¯s arms. Her entire body seemed to be turning into water, completely melting into Lin Fan¡¯s body. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°You¡¯re my girlfriend.¡± Han Tian felt as if she had eaten honey. Chapter 399 - 399 Award; Lets Go Together! 399 Award; Let¡¯s Go Together! Time in school seemed to flow by like water every day. In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed. On this day, Lin Fan woke up. He had just eaten a crab burger, an M5 steak, and a glass of orange juice¡­ At this moment, the phone on the table rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Ling Rou. Lin Fan did not hesitate at all and answered the call. ¡°Good morning.¡± As soon as the call connected, Ling Rou¡¯s pleasant voice came from the other end. Hearing this voice, Lin Fan could not help but think of the scene of her standing on the stage and singing like a fairy. At the thought of this, Lin Fan could not help but smile. ¡°Good morning!¡± Lin Fan smiled. Then, the two of them chatted on the phone, and sometimes, they talked about love. They were very relaxed. A moment later¡­ ¡°Lin Fan, are you free these few days?¡± Ling Rou asked. ¡°I¡¯ve been nominated for the Hong Kong Golden Melody Award and the Best Newcomer Award. I might have to go to Hong Kong in the afternoon.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to win an award so soon. Even if I don¡¯t have time, I have to squeeze some time out to witness the moment you win an award,¡± Lin Fan said. When Ling Rou heard this, her pretty face was full of smiles. However, she still said, ¡°It¡¯s just a nomination. It doesn¡¯t mean I¡¯ll win.¡± ¡°You sing so well that the judges will definitely give you the award,¡± Lin Fan said. At first, Ling Rou did not have much confidence. However, when she heard Lin Fan¡¯s words, for some reason, she was filled with confidence. She nodded her head and said, ¡°Alright!¡± ¡­ In the afternoon. Lin Fan drove the Cullinan straight to the airport. At this moment, a woman wearing a round mask and sunglasses was standing in the distance. Even though she was wrapped up tightly, just from her snow-white skin and perfect figure, it was not difficult to see that she was definitely an extremely beautiful woman. It was Ling Rou! After all, Ling Rou was a popular singer. If she was recognized, it would be very troublesome. Especially in Jiangbei, the probability of being recognized was the highest. It was because Ling Rou started to become famous in Jiangbei. There were the most fans here. However, Lin Fan still recognized her at a glance. He walked forward and gently hugged her slender waist. Ling Rou hugged Lin Fan and said happily, ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re here!¡± Usually, managers did not want their female artistes to have too much intimate contact with men. Especially in a public place. If the scene was photographed by others, it would greatly affect her popularity. Li Fei, who was standing at the side, did not seem to see the two of them hugging. It was because the person who was hugging Ling Rou was Lin Fan! He was the real boss of Xin Mei Entertainment! Lin Fan¡¯s heart ached. ¡°It¡¯s too uncomfortable for you to wear these. Let¡¯s get on the plane first.¡± She still had to dress like this in the plane, right? After all, if too many people noticed her on the plane, it would easily cause some unnecessary trouble. Although Ling Rou thought so, she still nodded vigorously and said, ¡°Okay!¡± Originally, Ling Rou and Li Fei had already booked the plane tickets. However, Lin Fan had them refund the tickets. He said that he would make the arrangements himself. Ling Rou and Li Fei were somewhat puzzled. One had to know¡­ They had booked first-class tickets. Would Lin Fan not arrange first-class tickets as well? However, they would follow Lin Fan¡¯s decision unconditionally, especially Ling Rou. Therefore, they did as they were told. Then, Lin Fan and Ling Rou held hands as they walked toward the counter for Xia Airlines. Several beautiful and exquisite stewardesses came forward to welcome them when they saw them from afar. Among them, the beautiful air stewardess who was walking at the front said in the sweetest tone, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Seeing this¡­ Ling Rou did not have any reaction. That was because all her attention was on Lin Fan. On the other hand, Li Fei¡¯s face revealed a trace of surprise. She had taken many flights before, but she had never had a group of air stewardesses waiting for her in advance. Lin Fan did not care about Li Fei¡¯s thoughts. He nodded his head and said, ¡°Take us to the plane.¡± ¡°Okay, this way,¡± the beautiful air stewardess said. Not long after, Lin Fan, Ling Rou, and Li Fei arrived at the location. They got on the Mercedes-Benz minibus that had been waiting for them for a long time. Then, two rows of beautiful air stewardesses and a luxurious passenger plane appeared in front of them. When Lin Fan and the others got off the minibus, the two rows of beautiful air stewardesses bowed and said respectfully, ¡°Welcome, Mr. Lin. We will serve you wholeheartedly.¡± Not long ago, when he went to Eagle Country, Lin Fan had already seen such a scene. Therefore, he did not pay too much attention to it. In Ling Rou¡¯s heart, as long as something happened to Lin Fan, no matter what it was, she did not need to be surprised. Therefore, she did not have any reaction. Li Fei, who was by the side, was slightly stunned. Since when did the flight attendants provide such a welcoming ceremony? Lin Fan held Ling Rou¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s get on.¡± Ling Rou felt the warmth on her hand and felt even happier. She nodded and said, ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Li Fei followed closely behind. When they sat down, they saw that the entire plane was empty. There was not a single passenger. ¡°Ling Rou, you can take off your hat, sunglasses, and mask.¡± Ling Rou did as she was told and took them all off. At this moment, a stewardess walked over and asked softly, ¡°Mr. Lin, can we take off now?¡± ¡°Sure,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright,¡± the air stewardess responded and slowly walked toward the cockpit. Rumble! Not long after, the entire plane made a loud noise and accelerated on the ground. Finally, it charged into the air. Soon, they reached the top of the dense clouds and sailed forward like a small boat in the sky. Then, a group of air stewardesses pushed a cart with sea cucumbers, bird¡¯s nest, top-grade beef, Australian pork, caviar, Romanee-Conti, and other luxurious delicacies and drinks. Lin Fan first tasted the sea urchin egg and nodded. ¡°This is not bad. Ling Rou, try it.¡± Ling Rou took a bite, and the food melted in her mouth. It was indeed very delicious, and her beautiful face was filled with enjoyment. Li Fei, who was at the side, looked at the luxurious delicacies, fine wine, and the empty plane in front of her. She also looked at the air stewardesses who provided the best service to the three of them. She could not help but sigh. ¡°So, this is what it¡¯s like to have a chartered flight.¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to enjoy these things on a chartered plane. This is a private plane because I¡¯m the largest shareholder of Xia Airlines.¡± Li Fei was stunned on the spot. Chapter 400 - 400 Arrival; Find a Doctor! 400 Arrival; Find a Doctor! One had to know¡­ Xia Airlines was the largest private airline company. It had nearly 1,000 planes, and its total market value was close to 100 billion! The largest shareholder probably owned tens of billions, right? In addition, Lin Fan was also the boss of Xin Mei Entertainment. Xin Mei Entertainment¡¯s market value was 20 billion! Lin Fan¡­ How much money did he have? How could Li Fei know that this was just a small amount of Lin Fan¡¯s assets? Compared to Li Fei¡¯s shock and dumbfoundedness, Ling Rou was much calmer. It was because she would never forget the time when Lin Fan had used Little Tanuki, Penguin, and Alphabet to advertise for her in order to hold a concert for her. The stage also cost hundreds of millions of yuan to build. Even if Lin Fan said that he was the richest man in the country, she would still accept it. That was because in Ling Rou¡¯s heart, Lin Fan was already as bright as the sun. It was normal for him to have all these achievements. Not long after, the private plane slowly landed. Hong Kong was different from Jiangbei. The entertainment industry here was very developed. It could be said that one could meet celebrities everywhere. As a result, when the people of Hong Kong saw celebrities, they would only be a little surprised and would not go fanatical. After all, they had seen too many of them and had gotten used to them. Plus, Ling Rou was not famous in Hong Kong. Therefore, when she got off the plane, she did not wrap herself up as she did in Jiangbei. Lin Fan, Ling Rou, and Li Fei walked out of the airport. A Rolls-Royce Phantom was already waiting in front of them. As the Rolls-Royce Phantom moved forward steadily, about 20 minutes later, the tallest and most luxurious Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong appeared in front of them. Under the service staff¡¯s guidance, Li Fei stayed in Presidential Suite No. 2. She looked at the spacious and luxurious room and was at a loss. She was already very happy to be able to stay at the Peninsula Hotel, but she never thought that she would be staying in the presidential suite. One had to know that such a suite costs 100,000 yuan a day! Lin Fan did not care about Li Fei¡¯s thoughts. He had already arrived at Presidential Suite No. 1 with Ling Rou. He naturally wanted to stay in the best place with Ling Rou. Li Fei was Ling Rou¡¯s manager, so the two of them might have some work to discuss and deal with in the next few days. Staying next door was obviously more convenient. As for the price tag of 100,000 yuan per night? This was already very practical. The Presidential Suite No. 1 of the Peninsula Hotel was the most luxurious suite in the entire hotel. The sofa, table, and chairs were from a well-known Italian brand. The full-length glass allowed one to see the scenery of Hong Kong at a glance. It gave people a relaxed, warm, and home-like feeling. Home? When Ling Rou thought of this word, she could not help but slowly approach Lin Fan. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ Absence made the heart grow fonder, and the two of them became like magnets, tightly glued together. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed. At this moment, the sky had already darkened. Lin Fan and Ling Rou showered, changed their clothes, and ate something at the Peninsula Hotel¡¯s restaurant. After that, they started to stroll around Hong Kong. Hong Kong was indeed a shopping paradise. Jiangbei was the capital city of Jiang Province, and there were quite a few large shopping malls. However, compared to Hong Kong, they were still nothing. In Hong Kong, almost every street had a large shopping mall. One could see LV, Gucci, and other luxury goods everywhere. Shopping seemed to be a woman¡¯s nature. Even Ling Rou was no exception. She walked into one shop after another, trying on clothes, matching them, and asking questions. Her entire pretty face was full of smiles. As long as Ling Rou liked something, Lin Fan would buy it without hesitation! Even so, after an hour of shopping, he only spent two million yuan. Some people said that there were three major mansions in Hua Nation. One was Ocean Villa in Jingbei, the second was Hilltop Villa in Hong Kong, and the third was the Sandalwood Palace in Modu. At this moment, in a villa on the top of a mountain in Hong Kong. Many people gathered together, their faces full of worry. Most of them were from the Tang family. Some people said that Li Chaoren was the richest man in Hong Kong. In fact, this statement was not accurate. Li Chaoren could only be considered the richest person in Hong Kong. There was another rich man in the dark, and that was Tang Mingyuan. Tang Mingyuan was very low-key. However, the power and funds he had were no less than Li Chaoren¡¯s. Today, the old man who held endless wealth suddenly fell ill! The situation was extremely dangerous. ¡°I wonder how the situation is.¡± They hoped the old man was fine. ¡°Ah.¡± ¡­ In the hall, discussions and sighs could be heard. At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from outside. Two men strode in. When everyone saw them, they all respectfully called out, ¡°Hello, Old Master Zhou.¡± ¡°Greetings, Old Master Zhou.¡± This old man was none other than Zhou Guotao, the old master of the Zhou family in Jingbei. The middle-aged man beside him was the second son of the Zhou family, Zhou Shihong. Old Master Zhou did not care about everyone¡¯s greetings and asked bluntly, ¡°How is Old Tang?¡± A man in a white shirt called Tang Hua sighed and said, ¡°He fell seriously ill at 2 AM and hasn¡¯t woken up again. The doctor is still trying to save him.¡± Old Master Zhou just stared at the ward in front of him without saying anything. However, he was very worried. Otherwise, he would not have come all the way to Hong Kong. About half an hour later, the doors to the ward slowly opened. Three doctors walked out with exhausted faces. The people waiting in the hall quickly surrounded him. Tang Hua anxiously asked, ¡°How is the old man?¡± The three doctors looked at each other, but none of them dared to speak. ¡°Hurry up and tell me!¡± Tang Hua said again. The doctor standing in the middle finally said, ¡°Old Master¡¯s situation¡­ is terrible. You have to be mentally prepared at all times.¡± As soon as he said this, a wave of wails immediately sounded at the scene. ¡°Old Master¡­¡± ¡°No!¡± Zhou Guotao¡¯s old man¡¯s eyes were also slightly red. Someone shouted, ¡°There must be another way. There must be!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already invited a famous doctor from America. When he comes to Hong Kong, he¡¯ll definitely be able to save the old man.¡± ¡­ Firstly, Tang Mingyuan treated the Tang family very well, and the family members could not bear to part with him. Secondly, Tang Mingyuan was a stabilizing force for the Tang family. If they lost him, the entire Tang family might face a terrifying crisis. Zhou Guotao did not have that many thoughts. He really could not bear to see his old friend leave. Find a doctor? Zhou Guotao¡¯s eyes moved slightly. After a moment of hesitation¡­ Zhou Guotao finally took out his phone and found Lin Fan¡¯s name. ¡°Quiet down!¡± he shouted. ¡°I¡¯ll contact the divine doctor and see if he has time to come over!¡± Chapter 401 - 401 Hilltop Villa 1; Arrival! 401 Hilltop Villa 1; Arrival! As soon as Zhou Guotao finished speaking, the entire hall quickly fell silent. It was because the person who said this was the old man of the Zhou family, Zhou Guotao. Since he said that he was looking for a divine doctor. He must be an amazing doctor! Perhaps the other party really could save the old master! Thinking of this, everyone looked at Zhou Guotao with anticipation. Zhou Guotao finally made a call. After a while, the call connected, and Lin Fan¡¯s clear voice came from the other end. ¡°Old Master Zhou, why did you call me today?¡± Zhou Guotao did not waste any time and said, ¡°Lin Fan, do you have time to come to Hong Kong to save someone?¡± ¡°Hong Kong?¡± Lin Fan asked curiously. Zhou Guotao said, ¡°I know this request is a bit difficult. ¡°But I have no choice. ¡°He¡¯s a very good old friend of mine. Also, he played a part in the smooth return of Hong Kong. ¡°I really don¡¯t want him to leave like this.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Old Master, you misunderstood. I¡¯m coming over now. Where are you?¡± Lin Fan was a person who would repay one¡¯s kindness. Zhou Guotao had helped him several times. Now that Zhou Guotao had a request, Lin Fan naturally would not reject it. Moreover, the person he was going to save had contributed greatly to Hua Nation! When Zhou Guotao heard this, his face could not help but reveal a hint of joy. Lin Fan was willing to come over! Old Tang was saved! One had to know¡­ Zhou Guotao was saved by Lin Fan. In fact, not only was he saved, but all his other ailments were also cured by Lin Fan. In the past few months, he even felt that he had become a few years younger. Otherwise, no matter how good Zhou Guotao¡¯s relationship with Tang Mingyuan was, he would not have come all the way here just because Tang Mingyuan was seriously ill. Zhou Guotao could say¡­ he had personally experienced Lin Fan¡¯s miraculous medical skills. In addition, Zhou Guotao was one of the few people in Hua Nation who knew about Lin Fan¡¯s other identities. He was the captain of Dragon Division¡¯s Team 10, he solved several math problems, he saved the life of Qin Weiming¡¯s grandson, and he also invented the earthquake prediction device. All of this proved that Lin Fan was extremely powerful. That was why Zhou Guotao was so polite to Lin Fan. Zhou Guotao quickly said, ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to book a plane ticket for you and pick you up at the airport.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°No need. I¡¯m in Hong Kong. Just tell me the location, and I¡¯ll come over.¡± Zhou Guotao was stunned for a moment. Very soon, he was overjoyed. ¡°We¡¯re in Hilltop Villa 1!¡± In fact, when Lin Fan agreed to come over, Zhou Guotao was still a little worried. Of course, he did not doubt Lin Fan¡¯s medical skills. He was just worried that when Lin Fan arrived, Tang Mingyuan would already be dead. After all, Jiangbei was still quite a distance away from Hong Kong. Zhou Guotao did not expect Lin Fan to be in Hong Kong. This was definitely good news, extremely good news! After hanging up, Lin Fan said to Ling Rou, ¡°A friend is seriously ill. I need to go over and take a look¡­¡± ¡°Then you should go quickly,¡± Ling Rou quickly said.¡± She asked hesitantly after a pause, ¡°Can I go with you?¡± That was because Ling Rou knew that Lin Fan had other women. What if this friend knew another woman? Therefore, Ling Rou was a little cautious. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Of course!¡± Then, he called a driver under the Peninsula Hotel. After a while, the Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped steadily in front of them. Lin Fan put all the bags from the shopping spree into the trunk. Then, he said to the driver, ¡°Hilltop Villa 1.¡± The driver was stunned. Many ordinary people only treated the mountaintop villa as a scenic spot. They stood in the distance and took a few glances at it, sighing in admiration. However, the driver knew that the people living in the villa area were all very important people. Villa 1 was the residence of the Tang family, one of the two superpowers in Hong Kong. Where was this customer going? ¡°Hilltop Villa 1?¡± the driver repeated. ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan said. After the driver received Lin Fan¡¯s approval, he could not help but be more respectful to him. The Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly started up. Like a boat sailing in water, it was very stable. About half an hour later, they saw a villa located on the top of the mountain. At this moment, two well-built security guards strode over and asked warily, ¡°May I ask who you are? Why are you here?¡± If it were a security guard from another place, they would definitely be very polite when they saw that the other party had come out of a Rolls-Royce Phantom. They would even try their best to please the other party. However, Hilltop Villa, a Rolls Royce Phantom was nothing. The security guards would be wary of the other party before confirming their identity. Just as Lin Fan was about to reply, a large group of people walked over. The leader was none other than Zhou Guotao, the old master of the Zhou family. ¡°Lin Fan, I didn¡¯t expect you to come over so quickly. Old Tang is saved!¡± Zhou Guotao said happily. When the Tang family members standing behind heard this, they were slightly stunned. This was because they could easily tell from Zhou Guotao¡¯s words that this young man was the divine doctor that Zhou Guotao was talking about. Such a young divine doctor? He was Zhou Guo¡¯s recommendation. If it were someone else who recommended this young man, the Tang family would definitely shout at the other party for causing trouble. Zhou Guotao did not pay much attention to them and said directly, ¡°Lin Fan, time is of the essence. I won¡¯t be polite. Let¡¯s go in quickly.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± said Lin Fan. Soon, everyone arrived at the hall. Lin Fan said to Ling Rou, ¡°I¡¯ll go in and take a look at the patient first. You and Old Master Zhou wait outside for a while.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Ling Rou nodded. A tall and thin middle-aged man called Tang Kai saw Lin Fan walking into the ward and could not help but say, ¡°Mr. Lin, we also have some doctors here. Do you need them to go in and help?¡± As he spoke, he pointed at the three doctors beside him. Even though Lin Fan was a divine doctor whom Zhou Guotao, the old man of the Zhou family, had called over, and he knew that Zhou Guotao would never harm his grandfather, Lin Fan was simply too young. He was worried that if Lin Fan went in to treat the old man, it would put him in danger. If the doctors followed them in, the danger would obviously be reduced. How could Lin Fan not understand what he was thinking? ¡°There¡¯s no need. I don¡¯t like people following me around when I¡¯m treating patients. I alone am enough.¡± Tang Kai seemed to want to say something more, but he was stopped by the current head of the Tang family, Tang Hua, with a look. Then, Tang Hua bowed slightly and said in a pleading tone, ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯ll leave the old master to you.¡± His tone was very sincere. Lin Fan nodded slightly and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± After saying that, he strolled into the ward under the watchful eyes of everyone in the hall. Chapter 402 - 402 Wake Up; A Fan! 402 Wake Up; A Fan! Creak! With a soft sound, the door of the ward was firmly closed. However¡­ Everyone in the hall was still staring at the door, as if they could see the situation in the ward through the door. ¡­ This ward was about 100 square meters and was extremely spacious. The air was filled with the smell of medicine. On the soft bed lay a thin, sallow-faced old man. Obviously, he was Tang Mingyuan. Tang Mingyuan was wearing an oxygen mask over his nose. The electrocardiogram beside him was slowly fluctuating. Everything showed that Tang Mingyuan¡¯s situation was very bad. Lin Fan observed silently for a while. Then, he placed his finger on Tang Ming Yuan¡¯s skinny wrist. After about a minute, Lin Fan retracted his finger. ¡°With normal treatment, it¡¯ll take at least two months to get better.¡± One had to know that Lin Fan had Sun Simiao¡¯s Medical Experience. Even so, it would take two months to get better. It was not an exaggeration to say that Tang Mingyuan was terminally ill. Lin Fan said, ¡°That¡¯s too troublesome. I¡¯ll just use Medical Water.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan spent ten million yuan to buy a bottle of Medical Water from the system. Then, he took off Tang Mingyuan¡¯s oxygen mask and poured the Medical Water into his mouth. After drinking the Medical Water¡­ The weak fluctuations in the electrocardiography began to rise. Following that, a tinge of blood appeared on Tang Mingyuan¡¯s sallow face. Then, his motionless body twitched slightly. Finally, Tang Mingyuan slowly opened his slightly turbid eyes. He first looked at the ceiling. Then, his gaze landed on Lin Fan. ¡°And you are?¡± Tang Mingyuan asked in a hoarse voice. ¡°My name is Lin Fan. Old Master Zhou asked me to save you,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Old Zhou is really thoughtful. Thank you for saving me,¡± Tang Mingyuan said in realization. ¡°You¡¯re welcome. The people outside should be waiting anxiously. I¡¯ll let them in first,¡± Lin Fan said. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and opened the door. Creak! When everyone saw the door open, they could not help but look into the ward. ¡°How¡¯s Old Tang?¡± Zhou Guotao asked. Lin Fan said, ¡°He¡¯s fine. He¡¯s already awake. You can go in and see him.¡± He was fine? He was already awake? In fact, ever since Lin Fan entered the ward¡­ it had only taken a few minutes. In just a few minutes, he cured a seriously ill person? How was this possible? Many of the people present had doubtful looks on their faces. Then, they slowly walked inside. When they saw Tang Mingyuan lying on the bed, they realized that his complexion had improved and he had already woken up. They all became extremely excited. He was awake! He really woke up! ¡°Old Master, it¡¯s great that you¡¯re awake!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°Old Master¡­¡± ¡­ Tang Hua hurriedly stepped forward and asked, ¡°Dad, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?¡± Tang Mingyuan shook his head. His thoughts were clear, and his voice was steady and powerful! ¡°Quick, check my dad¡¯s physical condition,¡± Tang Kai said to the doctors beside him. The three doctors responded and went forward to listen to the old master¡¯s voice, take his pulse, look at his pupils, and check his tongue¡­ Soon, their eyes widened in disbelief. ¡°How¡¯s Old Master?¡± Tang Kai asked anxiously. ¡°Hurry up and say something!¡± The bald doctor finally reacted and stuttered, ¡°His condition is very good! However¡­ It¡¯s best to do a more detailed examination¡­¡± With the doctor¡¯s confirmation, the Tang family became even happier. At the same time, everyone looked at Lin Fan in shock. ¡°Old Zhou, you even rushed all the way from Jingbei for me, an old bag of bones. I really feel bad.¡± ¡°Why are you still so polite between us?¡± Zhou Guotao asked. ¡°Yes, yes, yes.¡± Tang Mingyuan nodded. Everyone did not stay in the ward for long. Firstly, the doctors still needed to do a further examination on Tang Mingyuan. Secondly, Tang Mingyuan had just woken up and needed to rest. It was nighttime¡­ Lin Fan, Ling Rou, Zhou Guotao, and the others stayed in Hilltop Villa under the invitation of the Tang family. Unlike the Peninsula Hotel, which was located in the middle of the city and was extremely noisy, Hilltop Villa was located on a quiet mountaintop. When one looked up, they could see the bright stars. It was a different feeling. In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. When Lin Fan and Ling Rou went downstairs, Tang Mingyuan and Zhou Guotao were sitting in the courtyard, chatting about interesting things and laughing from time to time. When Tang Mingyuan saw Lin Fan, he asked with concern, ¡°Did you sleep alright?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°The air is fresh, and the scenery is great. It¡¯s very comfortable. Old Master is good at choosing locations.¡± ¡°Is that so? Since you like it, there¡¯s another similar house on the opposite mountain. I¡¯ll give it to you,¡± Tang Mingyuan said. A villa on the top of a mountain! One had to know that the price of Hilltop Villa was several billion yuan! In fact, there was no supply! This was not something that could be bought with money. Lin Fan waved his hand and said, ¡°Forget it. I rarely come to Hong Kong.¡± ¡°You rarely come, but you will come! It¡¯s better than leaving it empty in my hands,¡± Tang Mingyuan said. Zhou Guotao smiled and said, ¡°Lin Fan, just accept it. It¡¯s just a villa. It¡¯s nothing to you and Old Tang.¡± When Lin Fan heard that, he did not reject it anymore. It was because he had slept very comfortably yesterday. Also, Ling Rou seemed to like this place. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll accept your offer,¡± Lin Fan said. Instantly, the atmosphere became more relaxed. Tang Hua walked over slowly with a graceful, dignified, and beautiful woman on his arm. Tang Mingyuan said, ¡°Tang Hua, you came at the right time. Quickly transfer Villa 6 to Lin Fan.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Tang Hua said. Although Villa 6 was quite valuable, compared to Tang Mingyuan¡¯s life, it was not worth mentioning at all. Tang Mingyuan¡¯s medical report was out. His body had completely recovered. In fact, his body stats were even better than before his illness! It was all because of Lin Fan! Therefore, Tang Hua did not hesitate. ¡°Are you Sister Ni Min?¡± Ling Rou, who had been standing at the side, suddenly shouted in surprise. The dignified and beautiful woman smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± ¡°It¡¯s really you, Sister Ni Min! I¡¯m a fan of yours!¡± Ling Rou exclaimed excitedly. ¡°Out of all your albums, I like Spring and Four Seasons the most!¡± This sentence definitely came from Ling Rou¡¯s heart. In fact, a large part of the reason why she stayed in the bar and wanted to become a singer was because of Ni Min¡¯s influence. She yearned to be like Ni Min, to sing wantonly at a grand concert and receive the applause of countless people. Later, Ni Min suddenly quit the entertainment industry. There were rumors that she married into a wealthy family. From the looks of it, she had married into the Tang family. Chapter 403 - 403 Awards Ceremony; Grievance! 403 Awards Ceremony; Grievance! Ling Rou instantly turned into a fangirl, and she became excited when she spoke. Then, she said while a little embarrassed, ¡°Sister Ni Min, can I have your autograph?¡± ¡°Of course,¡± Ni Min said with a smile. When Ling Rou heard this, she wanted to look for a pen and paper, but she realized that she did not bring them with her. Zhou Guotao, who was sitting at the side, said, ¡°I have a pen and paper here.¡± As he spoke, he handed over a Parker fountain pen and a small notebook. ¡°Thank you, Old Master,¡± Ling Rou said. Ni Min picked up a fountain pen and quickly signed her name. Her handwriting was free and elegant! Ling Rou held the notebook tightly in her hand like a treasure. Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯ve fulfilled your wish now, right?¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Ling Rou nodded vigorously. It was a small interlude of a fan meeting her favorite star. The atmosphere became even more relaxed. ¡°Did you specially bring Ling Rou to Hong Kong this time?¡± Zhou Guotao asked. Lin Fan said, ¡°Ling Rou and Sister Ni Min are both singers. This time, she was nominated for the Golden Melody Award and the Best Newcomer Award. I came here with her for that.¡± Zhou Guotao revealed a look of realization. Ni Min¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°I was just thinking that the name Ling Rou sounded familiar. So, you¡¯re the singer of Galaxy.¡¯ ¡°The song has a light rhythm and is very nice to listen to. I¡¯ve been listening to the song for a while now.¡± Ling Rou became even happier when she heard that. After all, to be able to make one¡¯s idol like one¡¯s work was definitely something to be proud of. ¡°Thank you for your praise, Sister Ni Min. This song was composed by Lin Fan, and he sings it much better than me,¡± Ling Rou said. ¡°Is that so?¡± Ni Min¡¯s interest was immediately piqued. She loved music. If Lin Fan was not the person who saved Tang Mingyuan and Tang Mingyuan was right here¡­ She would want to ask Lin Fan to sing for her. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Ling Rou, you¡¯re too humble. You sing very well too.¡± ¡°You¡¯re indeed very good. At least, in my opinion, there hasn¡¯t been anyone who can sing better than you in the past two years.¡± Ling Rou¡¯s pretty face immediately bloomed with a smile. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Ni Min said. ¡°Ni Min rarely praises people like this. It looks like this year¡¯s Golden Melody Award and Best Newcomer Award are all yours.¡± Tang Hua laughed. ¡°Right, Ling Rou, you might not know yet, but Ni Min is this year¡¯s guest presenter.¡± Ni Min looked at Tang Hua without batting an eyelid. In fact, the Golden Melody Awards had indeed invited Ni Min to be the guest of honor this year. Rather, it was not just this year but almost every year. However, every year, Ni Min would directly reject the offer. This year was no exception. However, since Tang Hua said so, there was naturally no problem. ¡°Yeah.¡± Ni Min nodded. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Ling Rou said happily. After lunch, Ling Rou and Lin Fan left the villa. That was because the Golden Melody Award Ceremony was tonight. Ling Rou needed to get her makeup done early and make some preparations. When they arrived at the Peninsula Hotel, Li Fei, Ling Rou¡¯s manager, was already in a panic. When she saw Ling Rou, she hurriedly asked the makeup artist to style her. This took several hours. However, one had to admit that the result was very good. Ling Rou¡¯s long black hair was tied up in a bun. She wore a dazzling diamond necklace on her snow-white neck. She wore a white glass-like dress and a pair of exquisite crystal shoes. She gave off the feeling of a fairy descending from the sky. She was so dazzling! ¡°You¡¯re so beautiful.¡± Lin Fan could not help but say. When Ling Rou heard this, she felt as if she had eaten honey. This year¡¯s Golden Melody Award Ceremony was held at the Times Hotel. At this moment, a fiery red carpet was laid out in front of the entrance of the Times Hotel. A woman with a hot figure in a gray dress slowly stepped onto the carpet. The reporters in the distance started shouting. ¡°It¡¯s Dai Jiexi!¡± ¡°So beautiful!¡± Then, the reporters picked up their cameras and pressed the shutter, and the flashes continued. Dai Jiexi enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention and being photographed, so she deliberately slowed down her steps. At this moment, a Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped in front of the entrance of the Times Hotel. Then, Ling Rou walked down slowly. In an instant, the reporters could not help but scream. ¡°Heavens! Isn¡¯t she too beautiful?¡± ¡°She¡¯s definitely the most beautiful woman I¡¯ve ever seen!¡± ¡°A woman? No! She¡¯s a fairy!¡± ¡°Quick, take a photo!¡± Instantly, the cameras that were originally focused on Dai Jiexi shifted to Ling Rou. The flash shone on Ling Rou¡¯s pretty face, making it look as bright as jade. Ling Rou felt that it was too glaring, so she could not help but quicken her pace on the red carpet. Soon, she walked past Dai Jiexi. Dai Jiexi¡¯s expression was slightly cold, but in the eyes of outsiders, she maintained a smile. When she signed her name on the signature board and strolled backstage, the smile on her face instantly disappeared. What replaced it was endless coldness. Dai Jiexi¡¯s gaze locked onto Ling Rou. Then, she quickly walked toward her and bumped into her. Ling Rou accidentally fell to the ground. Dai Jiexi said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I accidentally bumped into you. Let me help you up.¡± As she spoke, she reached out to pull Ling Rou up. However, Dai Jiexi deliberately let go of her hand halfway through. Ling Rou fell to the ground again. Dai Jiexi slowly bent over and said coldly in Ling Rou¡¯s ear, ¡°Next time, remember not to casually surpass your seniors.¡± Then, Dai Jiexi straightened her back. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s my fault for being too weak. I can¡¯t even pull you up¡­¡± As she spoke, she even swung her arms, looking a little exhausted. Dai Jiexi had some acting skills. Even if this scene was seen by others, it would probably be difficult for them to say anything. After falling down twice, Ling Rou¡¯s body was in extreme pain. Her eyes were red from being wronged, and tears fell from them. It took her a lot of effort to slowly get up from the ground. At this moment, Lin Fan and Li Fei walked over from afar. They were not nominated and were not allowed to walk the red carpet. However, as Ling Rou¡¯s manager and boss, they could naturally come backstage. Lin Fan quickly noticed that Ling Rou¡¯s eyes were red. He asked, ¡°Ling Rou, what¡¯s wrong?¡± The grievance in Ling Rou¡¯s heart exploded once again. She threw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s embrace, and her tears fell like raindrops. Lin Fan¡¯s heart ached as he gently patted Ling Rou¡¯s shoulder. He said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay. I¡¯m here¡­¡± After comforting her, Lin Fan asked, ¡°Ling Rou, what happened? Did someone bully you?¡± Chapter 404 - 404 Apologize; Admit Cowardly! 404 Apologize; Admit Cowardly! Ling Rou hugged Lin Fan and felt his warm and broad chest. She roughly explained what had happened. Lin Fan¡¯s face immediately darkened. His eyes shot out two rays of cold light like sharp blades, shooting toward Dai Jiexi, who was standing not far away. Dai Jiexi¡¯s heart trembled inexplicably, and she involuntarily took two steps back. However¡­ It was useless. Lin Fan strode forward and slapped Dai Jiexi¡¯s heavily made-up face. Two whip-like sounds echoed back and forth at the scene. Two bright palm prints immediately appeared on Dai Jiexi¡¯s face, and it gradually swelled up. Lin Fan said coldly, ¡°Apologize to Ling Rou.¡± These two slaps stunned Dai Jiexi. After hearing Lin Fan¡¯s words, she finally reacted and shouted, ¡°How dare you hit me?!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched out her palm and was about to grab Lin Fan¡¯s face. Lin Fan said sternly, ¡°Looks like you didn¡¯t understand me!¡± As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped Dai Jiexi¡¯s face again. Dai Jiexi¡¯s already red and swollen face gradually turned into something like a pig¡¯s head. Tears flowed down uncontrollably as she looked at Lin Fan with fear in her eyes. She was scared of being beaten! At this moment, a man in a white shirt walked over quickly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Jiexi?¡± he asked. When Dai Jiexi saw the person who came, she looked like she had found her savior. She said in a panic, ¡°Zheng Lei, you¡¯re finally here. Look at how he beat me up. Quickly take revenge for me.¡± Zheng Lei was Dai Jiexi¡¯s manager. Like Lin Fan and Li Fei, he could not walk the red carpet. That was why he had only come over now. At this moment, Zheng Lei saw Dai Jiexi¡¯s swollen face, which looked like a pig¡¯s head. He was extremely furious. Dai Jiexi¡¯s popularity was largely due to her good looks. Now that her face had been beaten to such a state, it would definitely affect her popularity. Having her popularity be affected meant that his income would also be affected. Zheng Lei was about to shout angrily. At this moment, another set of footsteps could be heard not far away. It was Wang Haohua, the chairman of Xin Mei Entertainment. Even though the Golden Melody Awards were a huge deal, a chairman like Wang Haohua would not attend personally. However, it was different this time¡­ This time, the boss¡¯ woman was nominated for the first time. She might even win an award. He also received news that Boss Lin Fan had come personally. In that case, Wang Haohua would not be absent. When he saw Lin Fan and Ling Rou from afar, he quickly walked over and bowed slightly. He said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin, Ms. Ling.¡± Lin Fan just glanced at him and did not say anything. Zheng Lei, who was about to berate him, shut his mouth. One had to know¡­ Xin Mei Entertainment was one of the top three companies in the entertainment industry. Even Wang Haohua, the chairman of Xin Mei Entertainment, had to be so respectful to the young man in front of him. In that case, the identity of this young man was worth considering. ¡°So, it¡¯s Chairman Wang. There must be some misunderstanding about what happened just now¡­¡± Zheng Lei said. With that, he pulled Dai Jiexi and prepared to leave. Dai Jiexi was very unhappy. However, she was not stupid. She could only pout and leave. Lin Fan said coldly, ¡°You haven¡¯t apologized. Who allowed you to leave?¡± Dai Jiexi was already unhappy. At this moment, she heard Lin Fan¡¯s words, and she saw that many people were already gathering around her. She became bolder and shouted, ¡°I¡¯m leaving. If you have the ability, continue to hit me!¡± Dai Jiexi continued walking forward. Lin Fan took a step forward and raised his hand again. Two more slaps landed on Dai Jiexi¡¯s face. Immediately, a trickle of fresh blood slowly flowed out from the corner of her mouth. Not only did Lin Fan attack, but his strength was even stronger than before! Dai Jiexi¡¯s face was filled with fear and disbelief. There were so many people standing around. She did not expect Lin Fan to dare to hit her. Zheng Lei opened his mouth, wanting to say something. However, when he saw Lin Fan¡¯s cold gaze, he swallowed his words. ¡°Apologize. I don¡¯t want to say it again,¡± Lin Fan said calmly. Dai Jiexi could not help but tremble. Her mouth seemed to be out of control as she stammered, ¡°Yes¡­ I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Lin Fan said coldly, ¡°Not to me but to Ling Rou!¡± Dai Jiexi said again, ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Then, she ran forward as if he was escaping. Seeing this¡­ The surrounding crowd also dispersed. They understood that it was not necessarily a good thing to know too much about some things. Lin Fan hugged Ling Rou¡¯s waist and said, ¡°Are you feeling better now?¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Ling Rou nodded vigorously, feeling extremely sweet inside her heart. On the other hand, Li Fei and Wang Haohua, who were beside him, had a worried look on their faces. ¡­ Dai Jiexi placed ice on her swollen face and shouted, ¡°I was just beaten up. What were you doing there? You didn¡¯t even let out a word. Are you even a man?!¡± Zheng Lei found an excuse and said, ¡°I¡­ I was just worried that the more I spoke, the more disadvantageous it would be for you¡­ ¡°Didn¡¯t you see that even Wang Haohua, the chairman of Xin Mei Entertainment¡­ was so respectful to that young man? He¡¯s definitely an extraordinary big shot!¡± In fact, this was only one of the reasons. More importantly, he was afraid. He was scared by Lin Fan¡¯s tall figure and his strength. What if he opened his mouth and got beaten up? Dai Jiexi felt that what Zheng Lei said made sense. However, she still said angrily, ¡°But you couldn¡¯t just stand there and say nothing!¡± ¡°By not saying anything, it could calm him down a little,¡± Zheng Lei said. ¡°I¡¯ll make him think that we¡¯re cowards. However, we can find trouble with him afterward! ¡°Jiexi, aren¡¯t you close to Sister Ni Min?¡± Zheng Lei asked after a pause. ¡°I just received news that the guest of honor for this award ceremony has been changed to Sister Ni Min. ¡°She¡¯ll be here later. You just have to tell Sister Ni Min about this later. Do you think Sister Ni Min will let them have a good time? ¡°No matter how powerful that man¡¯s background is, can he compare to Sister Ni Min? Is he comparable to the Tang family?¡± When Dai Jiexi heard this, her eyes immediately lit up. ¡°Really? Sister Ni Min is the guest presenter?¡± ¡°How can it be fake? I heard it from the executive director,¡± Zheng Lei said. ¡°Good! When we meet Sister Ni Min later, I want to see how arrogant he and that b*tch Ling Rou can be!¡± Dai Jiexi grinned hideously. It was as if she could already see Lin Fan and Ling Rou being ravaged by her. Chapter 405 - 405 Twisting the Facts; Despicable! 405 Twisting the Facts; Despicable! What happened backstage was only discussed in a small circle. After all, this matter involved the popular celebrity Dai Jiexi and the mysterious young man¡­ Obviously, these two were not to be trifled with. No one dared to gossip. ¡­ In the dressing room. Ling Rou sat in front of the mirror and touched up her makeup. This award ceremony was simply too important. Creak! The door to the dressing room was slowly pushed open. Dai Jiexi, whose entire face was still red and swollen, walked in and sneered, ¡°She¡¯s still touching up her makeup.¡± When Ling Rou saw her, she stood up in a panic. Men were not allowed to enter the women¡¯s dressing room. Thus, Lin Fan was not by her side. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you think you can win some award?¡± Dai Jiexi continued. ¡°What a joke!¡± ¡°Let me tell you, don¡¯t even think about winning any awards on this stage in your lifetime!¡± Her words were extremely firm. Dai Jiexi knew very well how influential the Tang family was at the Golden Melody Awards. As long as she met Ni Min later, she would tell her about it. Ling Rou would no longer have a place in the entertainment industry, let alone the Golden Melody Awards! ¡°Ling Rou, are you ready?¡± Li Fei¡¯s clear voice sounded from outside. As she spoke, she slowly pushed open the dressing room¡¯s door. When she saw Dai Jiexi, Li Fei¡¯s expression changed, and she asked, ¡°Ling Rou, are you alright? Should we call Mr. Lin over?¡± When Dai Jiexi heard the words ¡®Mr. Lin,¡¯ she was so scared that her face turned slightly pale. She did not dare to stay any longer and turned to leave quickly. She only heaved a sigh of relief when she reached backstage. At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded not far away. Zheng Lei quickly ran over and shouted, ¡°Jiexi, get ready. Sister Ni Min and Mr. Tang Hua are coming over soon!¡± As Zheng Lei finished speaking, a noblewoman in luxurious clothes with an extraordinary temperament walked over slowly with a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes. They were none other than Ni Min and Tang Hua! They were here! They really came! Dai Jiexi ignored Zheng Lei and excitedly ran over, shouting, ¡°Sister Ni Min!¡± Ni Min turned around when she heard the voice. Even though Ni Min and Dai Jiexi were cousins, they were very distant cousins. In fact, before Ni Min became a celebrity, the two of them had never met. After becoming a celebrity, she had only seen her a few times. Dai Jiexi¡¯s face was red and swollen. Ni Min could not recognize her at all. Dai Jiexi saw that Ni Min was a little confused, so she spoke again, ¡°Sister Ni Min, it¡¯s me. I¡¯m Cousin Jiexi!¡± She deliberately addressed her as her cousin to further improve their relationship. As expected, Ni Min immediately remembered when she heard this and asked, ¡°Jiexi, what happened to your face? Did someone bully you?¡± Dai Jiexi was delighted. Ni Min was indeed concerned about her. ¡®Ling Rou, Lin Fan, I¡¯ll teach you a lesson later!¡¯ Dai Jiexi deliberately sobbed and said, ¡°I¡­ When I was backstage, I accidentally bumped into a newcomer. ¡°She felt that I did it on purpose, so she got her boyfriend to hit me¡­¡± At this point, Dai Jiexi squeezed out a few tears. Then, she quickly said, ¡°I saw the chairman of Xin Mei Entertainment. He¡¯s very friendly to her boyfriend¡­ Anyway, the matter was over. I¡¯ll just take it as though they were venting their anger.¡± Dai Jiexi had some acting skills. With just a few words, she easily disguised herself as a pitiful sheep. At the same time, she turned Ling Rou and Lin Fan into savage and vicious wolves. Ni Min hated unreasonable people who bullied others. This was because when she was a singer, she had also experienced such a pitiful and helpless time. ¡°We can¡¯t just let it go like this!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Jiexi,¡± Tang Hua said. ¡°We¡¯ll help you.¡± Dai Jiexi bit her lip lightly, as if she was having an intense internal struggle. In reality? She was already dancing with joy in her heart. Ni Min and Tang Hua both spoke up! ¡®Lin Fan, Ling Rou¡­ Very soon, you¡¯ll be finished!¡¯ At this moment, Lin Fan, Ling Rou, Li Fei, and Wang Haohua walked out. Dai Jiexi¡¯s expression changed slightly, and she put on a terrified expression. She pointed at Lin Fan and Ling Rou, ¡°They¡­ It¡¯s them!¡± Tang Hua and Ni Min looked in the direction Dai Jiexi pointed. In the next moment¡­ Both of their expressions changed. Instantly, they no longer looked at Dai Jiexi pitifully. Instead, they looked at her with disgust, deep disgust! One had to know¡­ Lin Fan had saved the life of the Tang family¡¯s old master. In addition, they also learned some things about Lin Fan from Zhou Guotao. He solved several math problems, invented the earthquake prediction device, the human islet recovery medicine, the super battery, and so on. He was definitely a great scientist, a national treasure! How could such a person be a tyrannical and reckless person? What a joke! Was she trying to fool them like monkeys? When Tang Hua and Ni Min saw Lin Fan, Lin Fan also noticed them. His expression remained calm. On the other hand, the faces of Wang Haohua and Li Fei turned slightly pale. They knew Ni Min and Tang Hua. In the past, they had heard that Dai Jiexi seemed to have some relationship with Ni Min. Now, seeing that Dai Jiexi was really with Ni Min, they could not help but panic. One had to know¡­ Ni Min¡¯s husband was the current head of the Tang family! The Tang family was one of the two most powerful forces in Hong Kong! It was over! It was over! Lin Fan did not care about the two panicking people and walked toward Ni Min and Tang Hua. After all, they were acquaintances. ¡­ When Dai Jiexi saw Lin Fan walking toward her, she laughed coldly in her heart. ¡®I was just thinking about how to teach you a lesson. ¡®I didn¡¯t expect you to come right over.¡¯ ¡°Are you talking about the young couple on the left?¡± Tang Hua asked with a gloomy face. Dai Jiexi¡¯s entire heart was filled with joy, so she did not notice the changes in Tang Hua and Ni Min. She put on an extremely frightened expression and said with a trembling voice, ¡°Yes, yes¡­It¡¯s them. No, don¡¯t¡­¡± At this moment, Tang Hua suddenly raised his hand and slapped Dai Jiexi¡¯s swollen face. He really could not stand a woman lying to him like a stupid pig. This slap stunned Dai Jiexi. She covered her face in disbelief. This¡­ This¡­ What was going on? Why was she beaten up again? Moreover, it seemed to be¡­ Tang Hua? Just as Dai Jiexi was in a daze, Lin Fan and Ling Rou walked over. Tang Hua said with a slightly fawning tone, ¡°Mr. Lin, Ms. Ling¡­ Hello.¡± Chapter 406 - 406 Return; Yadi Automobile! (1) 406 Return; Yadi Automobile! (1) Silence. The entire place was silent. Dai Jiexi, Zheng Lei, Li Fei, and Wang Haohua were all stunned. Tang Hua actually took the initiative to greet Lin Fan and Ling Rou. Moreover, there was a hint of flattery in his tone. Flattery? The current head of the Tang family wanted to curry favor with Lin Fan and Ling Rou? This¡­ This¡­ What was going on? Lin Fan nodded at Tang Hua and Ni Min and said, ¡°You guys are here?¡± After a pause, he pointed at Dai Jiexi and said, ¡°You know this sinister woman?¡± ¡°Sister Ni Min, Mr. Tang, don¡¯t listen to his nonsense¡­¡± Dai Jiexi¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°Nonsense?¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Just because Ling Rou walked in front of you on the red carpet, you deliberately knocked her down. Then, you pretended to help her up, but in reality, you just wanted to threaten her.¡± ¡°Sister Ni Min, I¡¯m your cousin. You have to believe me!¡± Dai Jiexi panicked. As she spoke, she was about to hug Ni Min¡¯s arm. Ni Min pushed Dai Jiexi away and said coldly, ¡°Do I look like a fool? ¡°In addition, I¡¯m warning you. From now on, don¡¯t rely on the fact that we¡¯re cousins or say that we know each other to swindle people outside! ¡°Otherwise, you¡¯ll have to bear the consequences!¡± Ni Min hated people who played tricks on her the most. As for their relationship as cousins, Ni Min directly threw it aside. It was because she and Dai Jiexi could barely be considered cousins. In fact, they were relatives. Before Ni Min became a superstar, the two of them had never met. Ni Min knew very well that Dai Jiexi only wanted to borrow her power. However, she did not care too much about it. It was because helping Dai Jiexi was just a small matter for Ni Min. It was not a big deal to help someone who could barely be considered an acquaintance. Now, however, this person who often borrowed her influence was using her to deal with the old man¡¯s savior, a national treasure¡­ She was simply detestable! How despicable! As Ni Min¡¯s voice fell, Dai Jiexi¡¯s heart suddenly froze. She was in utter despair! It was over! She knew that she was completely finished! Compared to Dai Jiexi¡¯s despair, Li Fei and Wang Haohua were filled with joy and excitement. Even Tang Hua and Ni Min had to curry favor with their boss! Good! That was great! Lin Fan, Ling Rou, Tang Hua, and Ni Min did not pay attention to the people who had different thoughts. They walked forward and chatted casually. After Lin Fan and the others left, Dai Jiexi said in a trembling voice, ¡°Zheng Lei, I¡­ What should we do now?¡± ¡°How am I supposed to know?!¡± Zheng Lei said in annoyance.¡± After saying that, he turned around and left. As a manager, Zheng Lei understood the entertainment industry better than Dai Jiexi. At the same time, he understood the influence of the Tang family better. Dai Jiexi¡¯s singing and acting skills were average, but because she had some connections with the Tang family, she was able to obtain a large amount of resources and become a popular celebrity. Now, she had lost the Tang family and even offended them. In that case, she would soon lose these things just like how she had obtained them previously! ¡°Zheng Lei, Zheng Lei!¡± Dai Jiexi called out a few times and chased after him. She was careless and fell to the ground. She fell flat on his face. This scene was witnessed by the crowd not far away. They discussed in low voices and took out their phones to send messages. ¡­ As the lively music played, two hosts who were dressed elegantly walked onto the stage. They talked about the development, influence, and meaning of music. Their tone was impassioned, but at the same time, it was humorous, causing the crowd to cheer. In addition, there were some song and dance performances in between, making the atmosphere extremely lively. At this moment, the male host in a black suit said, ¡°Next, we will proceed with the most exciting award ceremony!¡± In the audience, the nominated singers all became solemn, feeling extremely nervous and expectant. Among them included Ling Rou and Dai Jiexi, whose face was still red and swollen. Lin Fan patted Ling Rou¡¯s fair hand and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, there won¡¯t be a problem.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Ling Rou nodded vigorously. The male host exclaimed, ¡°The winner of this year¡¯s Golden Melody Newcomer Award is¡­ Ling Rou!¡± The sound system immediately started playing exciting music. At the same time, everyone applauded enthusiastically. Ling Rou was so happy that she was stunned. She won an award! She really won the Golden Melody Newcomer Award! Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Silly girl, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go on stage.¡± When Ling Rou heard his voice, she came back to her senses. She nodded vigorously and walked towards the stage. A dazzling light shone on Ling Rou. Ling Rou was already very beautiful, and she had dressed up meticulously today. Now, under the illumination of the stage lights, her entire body became crystal clear. She was slender and beautiful. Everyone was mesmerized by her. The male host could not help but say, ¡°Oh my god, she¡¯s so beautiful!¡± ¡°She¡¯s definitely the most beautiful woman I¡¯ve ever seen!¡± After a pause, the female host continued, ¡°Of course, Ling Rou isn¡¯t just beautiful. Her songs are even more beautiful! ¡°I¡¯ll never forget the grand concert in Jiangbei a few months ago. I¡¯ll never forget the elegant and free Sword Dance, and I¡¯ll never forget the long and crisp The World of Man¡­ Of course, there¡¯s also her best and most enjoyable song, Galaxy!¡± Chapter 407 - 407 Return; Yadi Automobile! (2) 407 Return; Yadi Automobile! (2) ¡°Even though we¡¯re only a few months into this year, I can say that Ling Rou is the most popular singer of the year!¡± ¡°Congratulations, Ling Rou!¡± After the female host finished speaking, the audience burst into applause again. At this moment, the male host said, ¡°Next up, let¡¯s invite our Heavenly Queen, Ni Min, to present the award to the winner of the Golden Melody Best Newcomer Award, Ling Rou!¡± The applause became even more enthusiastic. Some people applauded because of Ni Min¡¯s identity. They really liked Ni Min¡¯s songs. Even though Ni Min had not released a new song for several years, the songs that she had released in the past were still sung by many people and were liked by many. It could be said that more than half of the people present were Ni Min¡¯s fans. Ni Min came to the stage and handed over a shiny trophy. ¡°Thank you, Sister Ni Min,¡± Ling Rou said happily. What could be happier than her idol giving her an award? ¡°You deserve it,¡± Ni Min said with a smile. The two of them stood together and spoke softly. Their faces were filled with smiles. Countless flashes of light gathered on the two of them, making them extremely beautiful. ¡°Sister Ni Min, do you have anything to say to Ling Rou?¡± The female host handed over the microphone. ¡°A few months ago, when I accidentally heard songs like Galaxy, Three Lives, and The World of Man, I was immediately attracted by Ling Rou¡¯s singing. ¡°At that time, I lamented that it had been a long time since a singer with such superb singing skills appeared in the music industry! ¡°Now, I¡¯m not surprised to see her win the Golden Melody Best Newcomer Award because she deserves it!¡± The venue once again erupted in warm applause. They had never heard Ni Min praise a singer like this before. Those who liked Ni Min also started to like Ling Rou! Those who liked her became even prouder of her! ¡°Thank you, Sister Ni Min,¡± Ling Rou said excitedly. When Ni Min and Ling Rou were about to walk down the stage, the two hosts stopped them. ¡°Sister Ni Min, Ling Rou, please wait a moment.¡± The male host laughed. ¡°Yes, I have to delay you for a little longer.¡± The female host cleared her throat and said, ¡°Next, we will present the most important award of the day! The winner of the Golden Melody Award is¡­ Ling Rou¡¯s Galaxy!¡± One person won two awards. Moreover, they were the two most important awards. The crowd burst into applause again. ¡°Sister Ni Min, please present the award to Ling Rou.¡± Ni Min picked up another transparent trophy and handed it to Ling Rou. She then picked up the microphone and said, ¡°I just want to say that with Ling Rou¡¯s singing, it¡¯s only right for her to win these awards! ¡°In addition, these two awards are definitely not Ling Rou¡¯s end but her starting point!¡± ¡°Thank you, Sister Ni Min,¡± Ling Rou said with a trembling voice. She held the two trophies in her hands, and her eyes that were shining with starlight landed on Lin Fan. She understood that the reason why she was able to win these awards was all because of Lin Fan. ¡­ In the audience. Dai Jiexi¡¯s entire face was red and swollen. She looked at Ling Rou on stage and could not help but cry. These awards were originally hers! Now, there was nothing left. There was nothing left! At this moment, Dai Jiexi¡¯s phone vibrated slightly. A piece of news popped up. [Dai Jiexi¡¯s relationship exposed. She¡¯s dating three people at the same time!] One by one, photos of Dai Jiexi holding hands with different men as they entered the hotel, as well as their intimate actions, appeared on the internet. Seeing this¡­ Dai Jiexi¡¯s phone fell to the ground. It was over! She was really finished! After the Golden Melody Awards, Lin Fan and Ling Rou stayed in Hong Kong for a few more days before taking a private plane back to Jiangbei. The next day, the sky was clear. Lin Fan opened his eyes slowly. He looked at his phone. A text message had appeared on the screen as usual. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,542,900 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, he turned his attention to the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained 20% of Yadi¡¯s shares.] ¡°20% of Yadi¡¯s shares?¡± Lin Fan¡¯s expression changed slightly. A few years ago, Yadi was only a relatively low-end automobile company. However, with the vigorous development of new energy vehicles in recent years, Yadi had gradually become a top automobile company domestically and even internationally, with a market value of nearly 800 billion yuan! 20% of the shares was about 150 billion yuan! Lin Fan nodded and muttered, ¡°Today¡¯s sign-in is not bad.¡± He yawned and slowly got up from the bed. After washing up, he leisurely ate his delicious breakfast. While he was relaxing, Wang Fugui, the chairman of Yadi Automobile, was uneasy. That was because Wang Fugui had discovered that 20% of Yadi Automobile¡¯s shares had been acquired by someone else! One had to know¡­ As the chairman and founder, he only had 24% of the shares. As long as the other party bought more, they would be able to surpass him! At that time, would Yadi Automobile still belong to him? Wang Fugui sat on the soft executive chair and sighed. ¡°Lin Fan is so young¡­ Who exactly is he?¡± Wang Fugui took out a stack of documents. After hesitating for a long time, he finally dialed the number according to the shareholder¡¯s information. After a while, the call went through. Wang Fugui said in a slightly nervous voice, ¡°Excuse me, are you Mr. Lin Fan?¡± ¡­ At this moment, Lin Fan had just finished his breakfast. He wiped the grease off the corner of his mouth and said, ¡°Yes, who are you?¡± ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m the chairman of Yadi Automobile, Wang Fugui,¡± Wang Fugui said. ¡°Oh, Chairman Wang, hello,¡± Lin Fan said. Lin Fan had received calls like this many times. Therefore, it was not too surprising. ¡°I know that you¡¯ve bought 20% of our shares,¡± Wang Fugui said. ¡°First of all, thank you very much for your trust in us! ¡°In addition, I will now give a simple explanation of the future development direction of our Yadi Automobile. If you have any suggestions or opinions, you can let me know. In the future, we¡¯ll firmly develop battery-powered new energy vehicles and¡­¡± However, before he could finish, Lin Fan said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to tell me this. The reason why I bought your shares is because I trust you. You¡­¡± As Lin Fan said this, he suddenly stopped. That was because a clear notification sounded in his mind. [Ding! Mission: Watch a battery experiment, read The Safety Analysis of Electric Vehicle Power Batteries, The Engineering of Batteries, The Technology Basics of Electric Vehicles, The Powertrain of Electric Vehicles, and The Theory of Vehicle Batteries. Reward: One ultra-speed battery, as well as its detailed research and development data, principles, etc., and your chemistry experience will be upgraded.] When Wang Fugui heard the first half of Lin Fan¡¯s words, he was so happy that he could not control himself. Lin Fan did not want to listen to him talk about the development direction of Yadi Automobile because he trusted him. In that case, he would not interfere with the management of the company! This was definitely good news! That was because if that was the case, Lin Fan would be no different from a normal small shareholder. He would only receive a fixed amount of dividends. Just as Wang Fugui was overjoyed, Lin Fan said, ¡°About the development of new energy vehicles, I¡¯ll call you later.¡± After that, Lin Fan hung up the phone. Wang Fugui was the only one left holding his phone in a daze. What was going on? Did he not say that he believed in him? Was he going to interfere with the company¡¯s new energy development? Wang Fugui heaved a long sigh and got up to look at the vast scenery outside the window. He muttered, ¡°What should I do?¡± Chapter 408 - 408 Super Batteries; Buying Clothes! (1) 408 Super Batteries; Buying Clothes! (1) Lin Fan had no idea what Wang Fugui was thinking. At this moment¡­ Lin Fan drove the Cullinan to Jiangbei University, which he had not seen for a long time. He did not choose to go to the classroom. Instead, he walked past the basketball court and went straight to the teaching building. Even though Lin Fan had only been here once, with his photographic memory, he was as familiar with the entire teaching building as he was with his home. Soon, Lin Fan arrived at the entrance of the chemistry teaching room and slowly pushed the door open. Professor Zhao Xueqin and Professor Li Rongfa were leading three Ph.D. students to study something carefully. After a long time of research, Zhao Xueqin¡¯s mouth was dry. He turned around and picked up the thermos cup to drink a mouthful of goji berry water. In the next moment¡­ ¡°Lin Fan!¡± Zhao Xueqin suddenly shouted excitedly.¡± As soon as he said that, Li Rongfa and the three Ph.D. students stopped their research and looked at Lin Fan. Lin Fan coughed lightly and said, ¡°Uh¡­ Am I disturbing you?¡± ¡°No, no,¡± Zhao Xueqin said. ¡°Why would you be disturbing us?¡± Li Rongfa asked. ¡°We¡¯re so happy that you¡¯re here to guide the experiment.¡± Zhao Xueqin replied, ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Their words were extremely sincere. They still remembered clearly that Lin Fan had come to the laboratory for a stroll not long ago. Then¡­ He wrote a paper on the principle and usage of super batteries and successfully published it in Science! This thesis changed the mobile phone industry. At the same time, it allowed the field of battery to take a big step forward! What made Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa even happier was¡­ Lin Fan had actually put their names as the second author! It was also because of this that Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa had recently become famous in the school and even the entire chemistry world! This was the most glorious moment they had ever had in their lives! Now, Lin Fan had come to the laboratory. If he invented something or even wrote a thesis¡­ Thinking of this, Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa were excited. ¡°What are Professor Zhao and Professor Li researching now?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°The chemistry community unanimously believes that your super battery has already pushed the limits of small-scale batteries to what¡¯s attainable in this century,¡± Zhao Xueqin hurriedly said. ¡°Therefore, we¡¯ve recently stopped researching small-scale batteries and changed our direction to new energy vehicle batteries.¡± Li Rongfa chimed in, ¡°Yes, but since we¡¯ve just started this project, everything is only in the initial stage.¡± The two of them scrambled to answer. It was as if they were trying to answer first. After saying that¡­ The two of them looked at Lin Fan expectantly. They were looking forward to Lin Fan giving them some guidance and help. When had the students in the laboratory ever seen the two professors like this? It was like a conversation between a student and a teacher. However, none of them had any strange expressions. That was because Lin Fan was publicly acknowledged as the number one person in chemistry! Compared to the anticipation of the crowd, Lin Fan had a weird look on his face. He had just received a mission regarding energy vehicle batteries. It turned out that they just happened to be researching new energy vehicle batteries? What a coincidence! After a while, Lin Fan said, ¡°Have you done any experiments?¡± ¡°We¡¯ve already done material experiments and high-temperature experiments,¡± Zhao Xueqin said hurriedly. ¡°Next, we¡¯re also preparing to do different kinds of efficiency experiments, high-molecular experiments, and so on,¡± Li Rongfa added. Lin Fan did not bother with Li Rongfa¡¯s words. As long as he had done experiments, it was fine! His mission was to watch an experiment! Lin Fan said, ¡°Then you guys can experiment with the materials and show me what you¡¯ve done.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa said in unison.¡± ¡°Hurry up and prepare the experimental materials!¡± Zhao Xueqin turned around and said to the students. ¡°Everyone, get your spirits up. Treat this experiment as a graduation assessment!¡± Li Rongfa said. ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± the students shouted. In fact, there was no need for the two of them to remind them. The students also knew that this was a rare opportunity. After all, Lin Fan was the number one person in terms of chemical batteries. He was a big shot among big shots! If they could get some pointers by doing experiments in front of him, it would definitely be a very rare opportunity! Soon, the students sorted the different materials in order, including heating, compressing, and vaporizing. The materials emitted different colors of light. Then, a twisting curve appeared on the computer screen. Half an hour later, the experiment slowly ended. ¡°Lin Fan, which material do you think is the most suitable?¡± Li Rongfa asked with anticipation. After he finished speaking, Zhao Qin and the other professors looked at Lin Fan expectantly. Lin Fan did not answer immediately but focused on the mission. [Ding! Mission: Watch a battery experiment (1/1). Read The Safety Analysis of Electric Vehicle Power Batteries, The Engineering of Batteries, The Technology Basics of Electric Vehicles, The Powertrain of Electric Vehicles, and The Theory of Vehicle Batteries (0/5). Reward: One ultra-speed battery, as well as its detailed research and development data, principles, etc., and your chemistry experience will be upgraded.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up. Half of the mission was completed! Then, Lin Fan said, ¡°I need to think about the specific materials.¡± After saying that, he turned around and left the laboratory. ¡°Alright, goodbye, Lin Fan,¡± Zhao Xueqin raised his voice and said. Chapter 409 - 409 Super Batteries; Buying Clothes! (2) 409 Super Batteries; Buying Clothes! (2) ¡°Goodbye, Lin Fan.¡± ¡°Goodbye,¡± the students said. Lin Fan did not turn around. Instead, he waved his hand behind him. Soon, he arrived at the library. As usual, the library was overcrowded. Lin Fan passed through the crowd, past the history bookshelves, and past the language bookshelves¡­ He went straight to the battery and new energy bookshelf. The Safety Analysis of Electric Vehicle Power Batteries, The Engineering of Batteries¡­ Ordinary people might have to search for the books slowly. However, with a single glance, Lin Fan easily found all the books he needed. Then, Lin Fan looked into the distance. A female student in a gray dress with her hair hanging naturally on her shoulders was sitting there reading seriously. It was Lu Ling, whom Lin Fan often met. There were many books on the table next to Lu Lin, indicating that there was someone sitting there. Lin Fan did not mind at all as he strode over. Lu Ling seemed to have noticed something and slowly raised her head. When she saw that it was Lin Fan, her brows, which were originally slightly furrowed because of the difficult questions, immediately relaxed. She said happily, ¡°You¡¯re here? Sit down.¡± Lin Fan did not stand on ceremony and sat down. Then, he flipped open the first book, The Safety Analysis of Electric Vehicle Power Batteries¡­ Immediately, there was a rush of flipping of pages. In three minutes, a book with hundreds of pages had been flipped through. Then, it was the second book, The Engineering of Batteries¡­ The third book, The Technology Basics of Electric Vehicles¡­ In just ten minutes, Lin Fan had finished reading all five books. At this moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! Mission completed. [Ding! Mission: Watch a battery experiment (1/1). Read The Safety Analysis of Electric Vehicle Power Batteries, The Engineering of Batteries, The Technology Basics of Electric Vehicles, The Powertrain of Electric Vehicles, and The Theory of Vehicle Batteries (5/5). Reward: One ultra-speed battery, as well as its detailed research and development data, principles, etc., and your chemistry experience will be upgraded.] [Ding! Chemistry Professor-Level Experience upgraded to Chemistry Academician Experience!] All of a sudden, a vast amount of complicated chemistry knowledge, as well as complicated battery structures and principles, flooded into Lin Fan¡¯s mind like a tidal wave. Lin Fan thought back to the things that this knowledge would bring him. His lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. Lu Ling saw that Lin Fan had finished flipping through all the books. She could not help but ask, ¡°Lin Fan, are you done reading?¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°You really don¡¯t know quantum reading?¡± Lu Ling asked again. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°That¡¯s just a trick.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lu Ling said. ¡°You seem to be reading battery books again?¡± ¡°Yes, but this time, it¡¯s a new energy battery for cars,¡± Lin Fan said. Then, Lin Fan pointed at the questions written on the notebook in front of Lu Lin and asked, ¡°Are these the questions that you don¡¯t know how to solve?¡± Speaking of these questions, Lu Ling could not help but nod shyly. Lin Fan casually glanced at them and wrote the solutions down without thinking. The tip of the pen collided with the table, making a hurried sound. Very soon, a series of very detailed calculations appeared on the notebook. A moment later, Lin Fan stood up and said, ¡°Take your time.¡± Although Lu Ling had seen Lin Fan answer difficult questions quickly many times, each time she saw him write out extremely detailed answers without thinking, she could not help but be surprised. After a while, she stammered, ¡°Okay¡­ Alright.¡± Lin Fan did not hear this voice. It was because he had already walked out of the library and arrived at the parking lot. Lin Fan got into the Cullinan, stepped on the accelerator, and sped forward. In just 20 minutes, he returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa. Then, Lin Fan turned his attention to the system. [Do you want to retrieve the super battery?] ¡°Yes!¡± The next moment, a battery pack that looked like a desktop computer appeared in front of him. Lin Fan sized it up and muttered, ¡°Is this a super battery? It¡¯s not big.¡± Then, he lifted it with his hands and said, ¡°About 20 kilograms. It¡¯s not too heavy.¡± Then, Lin Fan looked at the black super smart watch on his wrist and said, ¡°Lil White.¡± ¡°Master, I¡¯m here.¡± The super smart watch flickered slightly and made a crisp sound. ¡°Help me apply for the patent for this super battery.¡± Lin Fan pointed at the battery in front of him. ¡°Alright, Master,¡± Lil White said. As soon as it finished speaking, the super smart watch shot out a red scanning line. A few minutes later¡­ ¡°Master, the global patent application has been completed.¡± Then¡­ Electronic patent documents appeared on the screen of the super smart watch. Lin Fan nodded his head in satisfaction and said, ¡°By the way, Lil White, can you write a paper on this super battery?¡± Every time he watched an experiment, he would have to write a thesis. This had almost become a habit for Lin Fan. ¡°Master, I¡¯ve already written it,¡± Lil White said. Lil White seemed to have predicted that Lin Fan would need such a thesis. Almost as soon as it finished speaking, an email popped up on Lin Fan¡¯s phone. It was titled ¡®The Principle and Use of Super Batteries!¡¯ In fact, Lil White even wrote Lin Fan¡¯s name on the position of the first author. Li Rongfa and Zhao Xueqing names were placed as the second author. Lin Fan was satisfied. ¡°Good job!¡± ¡°I sent it to Science last time, so this time¡­ Nature!¡± ¡°Lil White, tell the editor of Nature to review it as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Lil White replied. .. It was midnight in America. In the house of Esmond Bevan, the editor of Nature, all kinds of electrical appliances suddenly started ringing. However, he was not afraid or angry. On the contrary, he became extremely excited and quickly turned on his computer. Sure enough, an email appeared on the screen. ¡°The Principle and Use of Super Batteries!¡± Esmond Bevan did not read the content immediately but flipped to the author page. ¡°First author, Lin Fan of Jiangbei University! ¡°It really is him, haha! That¡¯s great!¡± After Esmond Bevan finished speaking, he began to read the content carefully from beginning to end. As he continued reading, Esmond Bevan became more and more excited. ¡°A new energy car, this is a new energy car! ¡°If the data on it is accurate¡­ ¡°It will completely overturn the entire automobile industry!¡± At this point, Esmond Bevan quickly took out his phone and dialed the number of the managing editor. Not long after, the chemistry laboratory at Hemp Rope Technology University lit up. Even though it was midnight, many white-haired chemistry experts drove to the laboratory and could not wait to do complicated experiments. ¡­ Lin Fan was completely oblivious to all of this. Originally, he wanted to go to school for classes today. After all, he had not been to class for a few days, but he had encountered a mission. Additionally, he had already returned home. He was too lazy to go to school. When he arrived at school the next day, he realized that it was Saturday. Lin Fan hesitated for a moment before driving the Cullinan to Yi Ke City. At this moment, Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling were sitting on the sofa watching a movie. When they saw Lin Fan¡¯s smiling face, they quickly went forward and held Lin Fan¡¯s arms. Lin Fan looked at how happy they were. It was as if he had been infected and was very happy as well. Then, he took out his phone and transferred ten million yuan to each of them. ¡°I transferred some money to you guys to buy some clothes.¡± Huang Ling felt the phone in her pocket vibrate and picked it up out of habit. The next moment, she immediately opened her mouth wide and said, ¡°Ten million!¡± Qiu Ziqian was also shocked. She leaned her head on Lin Fan happily. Then, she whispered into Lin Fan¡¯s ear, ¡°Actually, we¡¯ve already bought a lot of clothes. Nurses, teachers, nannies, white-collar workers, cats, dogs¡­¡± Chapter 410 - 410 Shocking; Ive Invented It! 410 Shocking; I¡¯ve Invented It! In the chemistry laboratory of Hemp Rope Technology University in America. The intelligent experts in chemical battery who were white-haired and wore presbyopic glasses quickly wrote the reaction equation and discussed it from time to time. In the end, they all focused their attention on the computer screen. One hour, two hours¡­ Gradually, pages of extremely complicated diagrams and calculations appeared on the screen. Immediately, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic praises. ¡°Oh my god! The power can actually reach such a level!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t believe my eyes!¡± ¡°If this battery is manufactured, according to the energy consumption calculation, the endurance of the new energy vehicle can reach¡­ more than 2,500 kilometers!¡± ¡°Traditional cars will be completely eliminated!¡± ¡°The person who researched it is a genius, definitely a genius!¡± ¡­ The editorial department of Nature quickly received feedback from Hemp Rope Technology University. The editors were well aware of what this research represented. It would definitely shake the world! Therefore, the entire editorial department seized the time and published a full-page supplement on ¡®The Principle and Use of Super Batteries.¡¯ ¡­ Tongyong Car Group. Accius slowly poured a cup of steaming hot coffee into his mouth. He was extremely satisfied. Creak! At this moment, the door to the chairman¡¯s office was suddenly pushed open. A white man walked in hurriedly. Accius frowned. ¡°Jer, I¡¯ve told you many times. No matter what happens, as long as the sky doesn¡¯t fall, you must stay calm!¡± Jer took a deep breath and said, ¡°Yes.¡± Accius nodded in satisfaction and said, ¡°Tell me. What happened?¡± ¡°Professor Mary Witt, Professor Justus, Professor Brewer, and other battery experts were invited by Nature to review a paper called ¡®The Principle and Use of Super Batteries. ¡°After their repeated verification, the data in this thesis is completely correct. ¡°This super battery can be used in new energy vehicles with a cruising range of more than 2,500 kilometers.¡± Accius dropped the coffee cup in his hand to the ground. ¡°The sky has collapsed!¡± ¡­ The headquarters of Shuangtian Car in Island Country. Chairman Taro Yamamoto stared at the report in front of him without blinking. A thin layer of sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead. The next moment, he stood up abruptly. ¡°2,500 kilometers, 2500 kilometers! ¡°F*ck! ¡­ In fact, it was not just the automobile industry. When the oil and energy industries saw this thesis, they were completely shocked! ¡­ As for Lin Fan, who was the one who started all this, he stayed in Yi Ke City for the weekend, living a blissful life. Monday morning, after Lin Fan ate the breakfast Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling prepared, he drove the Cullinan to Jiangbei University. ¡°Lin Fan!¡± Lin Fan had just gotten out of the car. Not far away, two extremely excited voices sounded. Lin Fan followed the voice and saw that it was Professor Li Rongfa and Professor Zhao Xueqin. They seemed to have been waiting for Lin Fan here. The moment Lin Fan appeared, they immediately called out. ¡°Professor Li, Professor Zhao, good morning!¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Morning, morning¡­¡± Li Rongfa and Zhao Xueqin hurriedly said. Then, Li Rongfa said in a solemn yet excited tone, ¡°Lin Fan, thank you.¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± Zhao Xueqin bowed slightly. As they spoke, they took out the latest Nature journal. On the cover was the paper titled ¡®The Principle and Use of Super Batteries.¡¯ Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan nodded his head and said calmly, ¡°What are you thanking me for? I watched your experiment and got to write this thesis because of it. You deserve to be the second authors.¡± When Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa heard this, they became even more excited and grateful. What did he mean when he said he only managed to write this thesis after watching their experiment? Their experiment that day was just a very basic new energy experiment. The Principle and Use of Super Batteries directly demonstrated the ultimate results of new energy that far surpassed the era. The experiment had nothing to do with it! Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa had no doubt that Lin Fan had already written the thesis. The reason why he came to the laboratory was to find an excuse to take care of them. It was probably the same with the previous super battery thesis! Thinking of this, Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa looked at Lin Fan with gratitude and excitement. They bowed in unison and said sincerely, ¡°Lin Fan, we know the truth. Thank you!¡± Lin Fan¡¯s lips twitched. They knew the truth? However, from the looks of it, they did not seem to know. Forget it, forget it. In any case, what he said was the truth. He could let them think whatever they wanted. At this moment, another excited shout sounded from behind. ¡°Lin Fan!¡± Lin Fan followed the voice and saw that it was the director of the Institute of Science, Feng Zhixiang. Feng Zhixiang¡¯s eyes were bloodshot, as if he had not slept the entire night. In fact, Feng Zhixiang did not sleep the whole night. Last night, he suddenly found out that Lin Fan had published a paper titled The Principle and Use of Super Batteries. He then took the earliest flight and arrived at Jiangbei overnight. Feng Zhixiang ran toward Lin Fan and almost tripped over the door. However, he did not care at all. He hurriedly said, ¡°Lin Fan, how far have you gone with your research on the battery? When can it be produced?¡± Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa pricked up their ears. They were also very curious about this. Lin Fan yawned. ¡°When? I¡¯ve already invented it.¡± ¡°You invented it?!¡± Feng Zhixiang¡¯s eyes widened, and he quickly said, ¡°Is what you said true?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Good, good, good, hahaha! That¡¯s great!¡± Feng Zhixiang shouted toward the sky. It was no wonder that he would be like this. One had to know¡­ Since foreign countries developed cars decades earlier than Hua Nation, all kinds of technologies and patents were in their hands. If Hua Nation wanted to develop cars, they had to find another way! After careful research and discussion, Hua Nation finally set its sights on electric vehicles. The super battery that Lin Fan had developed could be used perfectly in electric vehicles, allowing Hua Nation¡¯s cars to overtake others! Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa, who were beside them, listened to their conversation. Their jaws dropped, and they were completely stunned. Chapter 411 - 411 I Have to Go to Class Soon; Worry! 411 I Have to Go to Class Soon; Worry! Feng Zhixiang laughed for a while. ¡°Where¡¯s the super battery?¡± he asked. ¡°Can you take me there?¡± Lin Fan looked at the students coming and going and said, ¡°But I have to go to class soon.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of attending classes?¡± Feng Zhixiang asked. Zhao Xueqin could not help but say, ¡°You don¡¯t have to go to class.¡± ¡°Yeah,¡± Li Rongfa also said. Lin Fan¡¯s lips twitched. ¡®You guys are the director of the Institute of Science and professors, but you¡¯re telling a student that going to classes is useless and that there is no need to go to class? ¡®Are you sure there¡¯s nothing wrong with your words?¡¯ Lin Fan looked at their serious and impatient expressions and said, ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll bring you guys over to take a look.¡± In his heart, he thought, ¡®Looks like I have to skip class again today.¡¯ Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa quickly said, ¡°Can we go over and take a look too?¡± They were chemistry professors and mainly studied chemical batteries. Naturally, they were looking forward to the super battery. In their hearts, taking a look at it would be a historic moment! They did not want to miss it! Feng Zhixiang could not help but frown. He did not know Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa. In addition, this super battery could be said to be related to the future of Hua Nation¡¯s new energy vehicles! He definitely could not let anyone get close! Once the secret was leaked, it would definitely be a matter of regret. Lin Fan also understood what Feng Zhixiang was thinking. He introduced, ¡°This is Professor Zhao Xueqin and Professor Li Rongfa. They¡¯re the second authors of the thesis ¡®The Principle and Use of Super Batteries.¡¯ They also helped me a lot when I invented the super battery.¡± Lin Fan had no intention of lying about this. One had to know¡­ If they had not let him watch their experiment¡­ Then, there was no way Lin Fan could complete the mission. However, when Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa heard this, they had a different feeling. They were so embarrassed that their old faces turned red. Lin Fan was speaking up for them all the time. In fact, he even wanted to share some of the credit with them. ¡°Actually, we didn¡¯t help Lin Fan at all,¡± Zhao Xueqin said. ¡°Yes,¡± Li Rongfa said. They had their names as the second authors. They were already very satisfied. As for giving them a portion of the credit? That would be a little shameful. Feng Zhixiang heard Lin Fan¡¯s words and nodded. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s go together.¡± Then, Lin Fan opened the door of the Cullinan and got in. Feng Zhixiang, Zhao Xueqin, and Li Rongfa also followed suit. Although one of them was a director and the other two were professors, they had never sat in a Cullinan. Most people would be very curious when it was their first time sitting in a luxury car like a Cullinan. However, they were not curious at all. There was only anticipation in their hearts, endless anticipation for the super battery! About 20 minutes later, the Cullinan arrived at the Coiling Dragon Villa. Lin Fan pointed at the black cube that was placed on the ground and said, ¡°That¡¯s it.¡± ¡°This is the super battery?¡± Feng Zhixiang said in surprise. ¡°It¡¯s only the size of a desktop computer¡­¡± As he spoke, he even bent down to lift it. ¡°It weighs¡­ about 20 kilograms.¡± Then, Feng Zhixiang continued, ¡°Lin Fan, if this super battery is used in a new energy vehicle, how many kilometers can it last?¡± ¡°If we don¡¯t consider the electrical consumption¡­¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°The car can last for 3,000 kilometers.¡± ¡°3,000 kilometers!¡± Feng Zhixiang, Zhao Xueqin, and Li Rongfa shouted in shock. A battery the size of a computer weighed only about 20 kilograms and could allow a vehicle to last for 3,000 kilometers! What a terrifying number!! The hearts of the three of them thumped like drums. After a long time, Feng Zhixiang came back to his senses and asked, ¡°Lin Fan, can I bring this super battery back for research?¡± ¡°Sure,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Oh right, I¡¯m preparing to start commercial production of batteries. I should be working with Yadi Automobile.¡± ¡°Lin Fan, I thank you on behalf of Hua Nation!¡± Feng Zhixiang said solemnly.¡± Lin Fan had really helped Hua Nation a lot. Lin Fan waved his hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s just a small thing. You don¡¯t have to mind it.¡± A small matter? He invented a super battery that would completely overturn the traditional car industry and allow Hua Nation¡¯s cars to overtake other cars. Just a small matter? Feng Zhixiang, Zhao Xueqin, and Li Rongfa opened their mouths, not knowing what to say. However, to Lin Fan, this was indeed a small toy. It was because he had the system! Feng Zhixiang made a call. About half an hour later, a helicopter slowly landed. A few soldiers walked over with their heads held high. The soldier at the front shouted, ¡°Hello, Department Director Feng!¡± Feng Zhixiang nodded, then picked up the super battery and said, ¡°This is it. Sorry to trouble you.¡± ¡°This is what we should do!¡± the soldier said. The helicopter was here, and Feng Zhixiang now needed to go to Jingbei. He first asked Lin Fan if he wanted to go to Jingbei but was rejected. However, Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa wanted to follow him. One had to know¡­ This was a great opportunity to go to the Institute of Science and study super batteries with many academicians and big names. Feng Zhixiang explained some confidential information, and Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa gladly accepted the terms. After the helicopter roared, the group left the Coiling Dragon Villa. Lin Fan was the only one lying on the soft sofa, his face filled with satisfaction. He took out his phone and casually scrolled through the news. He realized that the news was all about super batteries. For a moment, he could not help but feel a little bored. Hence, Lin Fan dialed the number of Wang Fugui, the chairman of Yadi Automobile. ¡­ Yadi Automobile. Yesterday, Wang Fugui learned from the technical director that a new type of energy battery had appeared in the latest edition of Nature. Its power far exceeded all the current new energy batteries. According to the calculations, if the research and development were successful, the electric vehicle¡¯s range could reach more than 2,500 kilometers! What a terrifying number! Compared to all the existing new energy batteries, it was not an exaggeration to say that the super battery had given them a big blow! When Wang Fugui heard the news, he was not happy. On the contrary, he was very worried. This was because a large part of Yadi Automobile¡¯s focus was on developing new energy batteries. After years of research, Yadi Automobile finally made great achievements and invented the world-leading blade battery. It was because of this that the sales of Yadi cars could rise steadily. In order to develop, many new energy vehicle companies chose to spend a lot of money to buy blade batteries. It was not easy for them to develop in this direction. With the appearance of the super battery, perhaps everything would soon turn into nothing! How could Chairman Wang Fugui not be worried? At this moment, Wang Fugui¡¯s mobile phone rang. Chapter 412 - 412 Sincerity; Cooperation! 412 Sincerity; Cooperation! Wang Fugui sighed. After a while, he slowly picked up his phone. When he saw that the caller was Lin Fan, his expression did not change much. A few days ago¡­ Wang Fugui was worried since Lin Fan had 20% of Yadi Automobile¡¯s shares. Now, he had temporarily thrown this matter to the back of his mind. Compared to the shares, the super battery was more of an annoying matter to him. After a while, Wang Fugui answered the call. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Wang Fugui said in a tired tone. ¡°You should know about the super battery, right?¡± When Wang Fugui heard this, his head hurt even more. Was the major shareholder going to make things difficult for the company because of the incident with the superpower battery? He was being thrown another problem before the first one was even settled! Wang Fugui sighed again. He forced himself to be alert. ¡°From the data, the super battery is indeed very impressive. It can even be said to be epoch-making. ¡°If it¡¯s used on new energy vehicles, it can reduce the dimensions of all the cars on the market today! ¡°However, the super battery hasn¡¯t been invented yet. ¡°All employees of Yadi Automobile are actively preparing a response plan. ¡°Mr. Lin, don¡¯t worry. Our Yadi Automobile will definitely be able to face the trouble that will arise.¡± When Lin Fan heard this, a weird look appeared on his face. A countermeasure? Trouble? Wang Fugui did not know that he was the one who wrote the research paper on super batteries? After a while, Lin Fan said, ¡°The super battery has been invented.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Wang Fugui¡¯s heart skipped a beat. The invention of the super battery! What should Yadi do? ¡°Mr. Lin, did you receive any news?¡± Wang Fugui asked hurriedly. ¡°Could you please tell me where you learned about the matter?¡± After all, Lin Fan was not an ordinary young man. He was a super big shot who could buy 20% of Yadi Automobile¡¯s shares. It was normal for him to know some information! Lin Fan said, ¡°News? What news? I wrote the thesis that was published in Nature, and I invented the super battery. Come to Jiangbei, and I¡¯ll sign some contracts for the cooperation with Yadi Automobile.¡± Wang Fugui¡¯s phone fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Then, he quickly picked up his phone and said ¡®hello¡¯ several times, but no one responded. Only then did he realize that the call had been hung up. Wang Fugui could not help but mutter, ¡°He wrote the thesis and invented the super battery¡­ This, this¡­¡± At this moment, there was a series of hurried knocks on the door. ¡°Come in!¡± Wang Fugui said. Several directors walked in hurriedly with stacks of documents in their hands. ¡°We asked the technicians to re-simulate the data from The Principle and Use of Super Batteries. The data inside is without error. Chairman Wang¡­¡± Wang Fugui did not wait for them to finish and interrupted, ¡°Who¡¯s the author of the thesis?¡± The directors flipped through the information in their hands and said, ¡°Lin Fan.¡± ¡°Lin Fan, Lin Fan, hahahaha!¡± Wang Fugui threw his head back and laughed. He was so happy that all his worries were swept away. The directors at the side were puzzled. ¡°C-Chairman Wang, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Wang Fugui did not answer. Instead, he picked up his phone and said, ¡°Secretary, help me buy a ticket to Jiangbei. Yes, the soonest flight!¡± ¡­ In the afternoon. After Wang Fugui arrived at the airport, he made his way to the Coiling Dragon Villa without rest. He calmed himself down and pressed the doorbell. Lin Fan slowly opened the door and said, ¡°Come in.¡± Wang Fugui had seen Lin Fan¡¯s photo and knew that he was very young. However, when he saw him in person, he could not help but be shocked. However, he quickly threw this thought to the back of his mind and hurriedly asked, ¡°Mr. Lin, you just said on the phone that you invented the super battery?¡± When he said that, Wang Fugui¡¯s heart started to go crazy. This matter was too important to him and the entire Yadi Automobile. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Yeah, the patent has been applied for.¡± After saying that, he turned on the tablet, which showed the electronic patent documents. Seeing this¡­ Wang Fugui was so excited that he started trembling. It was true! The super battery was really invented! Yadi Automobile was about to rise completely! ¡°What do you think?¡± Lin Fan asked. Wang Fugui took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement. ¡°If you give the super battery to our Yadi Automobile¡­ ¡°Yadi Automobile can give you another 35% of the shares. In addition, 40% of the profits from the sales of the super batteries will belong to you. ¡°Mr. Lin, what do you think?¡± Lin Fan already owned 20% of the shares of Yadi Automobile. Adding on 35% of shares, he would have a total of 55% shares. With more than half of the shares, he would become the largest shareholder of Yadi Automobile. He even had the power to reject proposals! There was also a 40% profit from the super battery! It had to be said that Wang Fugui was sincere. Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°Sure.¡± As long as he was not the one managing the company, it did not matter. When Wang Fugui heard this, he was overjoyed. His biggest dream was to develop Yadi Automobile into the world¡¯s top car company. Now, this dream might be realized very soon! Then, he borrowed the computer to hold a meeting with the shareholders and the top management. Even though Wang Fugui was the chairman of Yadi Automobile, he was still just a member of the company. Signing such a major contract still required the approval of the higher-ups and shareholders. An intense debate and explanation ensued. Two hours later, a contract that was freshly printed appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s hands. As usual, Lin Fan flipped through the pages quickly. In less than ten seconds, he finished reading the thick contract. Then, Lin Fan signed his name. Wang Fugui, on the other hand, did not hesitate. He quickly stamped his official seal and signed his name. He held the contract that was still warm, and the blood in his body seemed to boil. After a while, Wang Fugui said, ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯ll go back to the company first.¡± Even though the sky had already turned completely dark, he wanted to rush back to the company as soon as possible so that Yadi Automobile could be fully prepared for the next super-battery new energy vehicle. Lin Fan yawned and said indifferently, ¡°Alright.¡± Chapter 413 - 413 A Waste of Talent; Phone Call! 413 A Waste of Talent; Phone Call! Jingbei, Institute of Science and Technology. Under the protection of the academicians, the super battery that looked like a computer was brought to the laboratory intact. Then, the academicians could not wait to use many complicated instruments to test it. Not long after, there was a wave of enthusiastic praise. ¡°Unbelievable! It¡¯s unbelievable! It actually has so much electricity!¡± ¡°Although I¡¯ve read the thesis, seeing the real thing still makes me feel like it¡¯s beyond my imagination!¡± At this moment, an old academician with white hair said to Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa, ¡°Professor Zhao, Professor Li, can you explain the research process and specific principles of the super battery?¡± When everyone heard this, they all cast expectant gazes. In their eyes¡­ Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa were the second authors of the thesis. They must have participated in the specific project. Other than Lin Fan, they were the only people in the world who had the most in-depth research on super batteries. Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa blushed when they saw the famous academicians staring at them. ¡°Actually, we don¡¯t know much about the super battery. ¡°We didn¡¯t participate in the research of the super battery. The reason why our names are listed as the second authors is probably because Lin Fan wanted to take care of us.¡± After the two of them finished speaking, they wished they could find a hole to hide in. In a sense, this was academic fraud. The academicians did not pay much attention to this matter. They only looked a little regretful. ¡°It¡¯s a waste of talent for a genius like Lin Fan to be a student at Jiangbei University,¡± the old academician sighed. ¡°Director Feng, can¡¯t we let him come to the Institute of Science? If he wants to stay in Jiangbei, we can move the entire Institute of Science there!¡± For the sake of one person, they would move the entire Institute of Science! How sincere was this? Feng Zhixiang pondered and said, ¡°This¡­ I¡¯ll find a chance to get Lin Fan¡¯s opinion. In my opinion, we can first establish a research institute or a branch in Jiangbei. Even if Lin Fan doesn¡¯t come, everyone will have a chance to interact with him.¡± The old academician said happily, ¡°Director Feng, you finally have a good suggestion!¡± ¡°Are you saying that I didn¡¯t have a good suggestion before?¡± Feng Zhixiang glared at him. ¡°I didn¡¯t say that, haha!¡± the old academician said with a smile. ¡­ Lin Fan did not know anything about what was happening at the Institute of Science. At this moment, he was lying on the soft sofa and yawning out of boredom. After a while, his attention fell on the 553 red packets displayed on the screen. They were from the money he spent during his one-month stay in Hong Kong. Lin Fan muttered, ¡°I only spent five million in a month¡­¡± One had to know¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s daily income was close to 20 million, and this did not include the dividends and his rental yield. Five million a month was indeed too little. ¡°Let¡¯s see what I can get first.¡± [Do you wish to open the 553 red packets?] ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received three yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 51% of Lianjia Real Estate¡¯s shares!] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained one Rolls-Royce Phantom.] ¡­ ¡°Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a one yuan critical hit card.] ¡­ From the 553 red packets, he got a total of 132,991 yuan. He also got a Rolls-Royce Phantom that cost about ten million yuan. There was also the one yuan critical hit card that would allow him to earn 100 million yuan if he spent one yuan. Lin Fan did not care about these. He immediately placed his attention on the 51% shares of Lianjia Real Estate. Lianjia Real Estate was the largest real estate company in Hua Nation, with a market value of about 100 billion. 51% of the shares was about 50 billion yuan. Lin Fan touched his nose and smiled. ¡°Han Tian works at Lianjian. If she knows that I¡¯ve become the major shareholder, I wonder what her expression would be like?¡± At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was his sister, Lin Xiaoyao. ¡°Brother!¡± As soon as the call connected, Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s voice rang out. ¡°Your brother is not deaf.¡± Lin Fan rubbed his ears. ¡°Did you invent that car battery?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked excitedly. ¡°Yup,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Then, did you get 35% of Yadi¡¯s shares?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked again. ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°F*ck!¡± Lin Xiaoyao shouted. Lin Fan rubbed his ears and said, ¡°Xiaoyao, don¡¯t be so shocked.¡± However, he could only hear a burst of laughter over the phone. Obviously, Lin Xiaoyao did not hear him. Lin Fan could not help but shake his head and slowly press the end call button. Just as he hung up, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang again. Initially, Lin Fan thought that Lin Xiaoyao had called him back. However, when he looked closely¡­ He realized that it was an unfamiliar number from An City. Lin Fan did not hesitate and answered the call. ¡°Hello, is this Mr. Lin?¡± A slightly respectful voice sounded from the phone. Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s me. Who are you?¡± After hearing Lin Fan¡¯s reply, the voice on the phone became even more respectful and excited. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. I¡¯m the chairman of Lianjia Real Estate, Zhang Weimin.¡± Compared to the chairmen of Yadi Automobile, Yinshan Group, Penguin Group, and Little Tanuki Group, who felt helpless when they found out that a large number of their companies¡¯ shares had been bought by others¡­ Zhang Weimin was even more open-minded. This was because the entire real estate industry had been in a slump recently. Lianjia was also on the verge of incurring losses. Now that someone had bought the company¡¯s shares, it meant that the person had confidence in his company! That person was saving Lianjia! It was a good thing! Lin Fan said, ¡°So, it¡¯s Chairman Zhang. Hello.¡± ¡°Please don¡¯t call me Chairman Zhang,¡± Zhang Weimin hurriedly said. ¡°You can just call me Lil Zhang.¡± Lin Fan had received similar requests many times before. Therefore, he did not find it too strange and said, ¡°I¡¯ll just call you by your name, Weimin.¡± ¡°Alright, Mr. Lin. You can call me whatever you want,¡± Zhang Weimin said. ¡°Mr. Lin, you seem to be in Jiangbei?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan replied. ¡°That¡¯s great. Not long ago, Lianjia built a central headquarters in Jiangbei. I wonder if you have time to give some guidance? In addition, you can decide the future development direction of Lianjia,¡± Zhang Weimin said. The central headquarters? Decide on the future development of Lianjia? Lin Fan had never been interested in such things and was prepared to reject him. However, he thought of something and said, ¡°Alright!¡± Chapter 414 - 414 Welcome; Warmth! 414 Welcome; Warmth! Zhang Weimin¡¯s face lit up. He agreed! The big shot who bought 51% of Lianjia Real Estate in one fell swoop had agreed to meet and guide them in their work! He had to seize this opportunity to get Lin Fan to increase his support for Lianjia! Only in this way could Lianjia survive for a long time. At this moment, Lin Fan said, ¡°However, I won¡¯t go to the central headquarters. You know the branch in Washington Palace, right?¡± Zhang Weimin could not help but be stunned. ¡°I do.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. Let¡¯s meet there tomorrow afternoon,¡± Lin Fan said. Meet there? If he remembered correctly, it was only a very small branch, right? Even though he thought so, Zhang Weimin did not dare to hesitate and said, ¡°Alright, Mr. Lin. I¡¯ll be waiting for you at the Washington Palace branch tomorrow.¡± As long as Lin Fan was willing to meet, the location was no problem. ¡­ The next day, the sky was clear. ¡°How many worms did you eat today?¡± ¡°One.¡± ¡°Me too.¡± ¡­ Lin Fan opened his eyes as the sparrows outside the window chirped. However, he did not get up immediately. Instead, he continued to lie on the bed for a while before slowly getting up. He spent 30,000 yuan to get a two-star Michelin restaurant to deliver more than ten different dishes. Lin Fan ate while playing with his phone, looking extremely relaxed. Unknowingly, his phone vibrated slightly. 12:00 PM! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 23 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 9,999 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 100 yuan.] Today, Lin Fan earned a total of 31,241 yuan. Lin Fan muttered, ¡°It¡¯s already 12 PM? Isn¡¯t that too fast?¡± He rubbed his still round belly and said, ¡°In other words, I used 30,000 yuan to eat breakfast and lunch? I¡¯m being too frugal.¡± Lin Fan touched his nose and said, ¡°It¡¯s about time to go to Lianjia.¡± After saying that, Lin Fan walked outside and saw a brand new Rolls-Royce Phantom. However, he did not even spare it a second glance as he drove the Cullinan straight ahead. ¡­ At this moment, at Lianjia¡¯s branch in Washington Palace. Last night, the staff received a notice from the headquarters that Chairman Zhang Weimin would be bringing a large number of executives to welcome a very distinguished guest. They had to decorate the branch before noon. Hence¡­ Early in the morning, many renovation workers and design workers gathered together. There was strength in numbers. In just one morning, the branch office had completely changed from start to finish. The entire area had more than doubled in size. The walls, floors, and office supplies were all brand new, and the surroundings were filled with bright flowers. In front of the main entrance was a furry red carpet. It looked extremely festive and grand! Zhang Weimin and the executives had arrived at the entrance of the office early in the morning, waiting quietly and looking around. Not far away, the employees of the branch were discussing from time to time. ¡°Tell me, which distinguished guest are we welcoming today?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°Could it be the leader of Jiangbei?¡± ¡°Maybe not¡­ Besides, the higher-ups of Jiangbei should head to the headquarters that was built not long ago, right?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes.¡± ¡°Manager Han, do you know?¡± Han Tian looked at the executives in the distance and shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know either. However, this is also a good thing for us.¡± When the employees heard this, they all smiled. Yes, it was! It was good news! This was the first time they had seen so many higher-ups of the company. If they could leave a good impression on them, it would be a great thing for their future development. In addition, even if they did not leave an impression¡­ Their office had been renovated! At this moment, the tall and cool Cullinan drove over from afar. Then, Lin Fan slowly got out of the car. Seeing this¡­ Chairman Zhang Weimin was the first to greet him. He said with a smile, ¡°Mr. Lin, welcome!¡± Then, the executives behind Zhang Weimin said in unison, ¡°Mr. Lin, welcome!¡± Han Tian and the others, who were standing not far away, were stunned. ¡°It¡¯s Mr. Lin!¡± ¡°The chairman and the others are here to welcome Mr. Lin!¡± As they spoke, all the employees looked at Han Tian with envy. That was because they knew that Lin Fan had not only given them a large number of houses to rent out, but he was also Han Tian¡¯s boyfriend! Zhang Weimin stretched out his hands and held Lin Fan¡¯s right hand tightly. ¡°Mr. Lin, please come in.¡± Lin Fan nodded but did not walk into the office. Instead, he walked straight to Han Tian¡¯s side and wrapped his arm around her waist under everyone¡¯s gaze. Seeing this¡­ Not only was Zhang Weimin not angry, but he was even happier. It was because Han Tian was an employee of Lianjia. This meant that Lin Fan would give even greater support to Lianjia! After a while, Zhang Weimin calmed himself down and invited Lin Fan to the office again. In the spacious meeting room, Lin Fan sat in the main seat while Han Tian sat beside him. Zhang Weimin and the executives sat around the table. Zhang Weimin cleared his throat and said, ¡°Next, let me introduce everyone. This is Mr. Lin Fan, the largest shareholder of Lianjia Real Estate. Welcome!¡± In the conference room, there was a round of applause. Han Tian¡¯s delicate body trembled slightly. She looked at Lin Fan with tender eyes. She guessed that the reason why Lin Fan invested in Lianjia Real Estate was because of her! Then, Zhang Weimin explained the current situation of Lianjia and their future plans in detail. Lin Fan was not interested in all of this. However, seeing how serious Han Tian was, he decided to listen patiently. In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting. Under Zhang Weimin¡¯s arrangements, Lin Fan, Han Tian, and the other executives all arrived at the Imperial Hotel. This meal¡­ was very sumptuous! Lin Fan and Han Tian were undoubtedly the main characters at the table. Chairman Zhang Weimin and the other executives were toasting with them. Everyone had a great time at the banquet. The banquet only came to an end at nine o¡¯clock in the evening. Lin Fan personally sent Han Tian home. Han Tian felt the warmth coming from beside her. She could not help but think of how Lin Fan had given her a large number of houses to rent out in order to increase her performance. She thought of the bag that Lin Fan had given her. She thought about how Lin Fan had arranged her father¡¯s work perfectly. She thought about how he bought a large number of Lianjia¡¯s shares for her. Han Tian¡¯s entire body seemed to melt from the warmth. She leaned toward Lin Fan. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ? (¡¥¦ê¡¥?) ¡­ Chapter 415 - 415 Mission; Become a Teacher! 415 Mission; Become a Teacher! The next day. Even though she was tired from last night, Han Tian still made lean meat noodles, fried dumplings, and eggs early in the morning. Then, she made two cups of hot milk. Lin Fan and Han Tian fed each other and kept laughing. It was very sweet. After the meal, Han Tian went to Lianjia¡¯s branch office while Lin Fan went to Jiangbei University. At this moment, two more bright banners appeared in front of the gate of Jiangbei University. [We warmly congratulate our school¡¯s Lin Fan on publishing his thesis on the cover of Nature!] [Warm congratulations to our school¡¯s Lin Fan for his invention of the super battery!] Every once in a while, Jiangbei University would hang a new banner about Lin Fan. Now that there were two more, Lin Fan was no longer surprised. After Lin Fan parked the car, he went straight to the classroom. Song Yi, who was sitting at the back, waved his hand and shouted, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, over here!¡± ¡°Brother Lin Fan, did you invent the super battery again?¡± Zheng Jinbao asked. When the students who were chatting in low voices heard this, they all looked at Lin Fan. Obviously, they were also very curious about this. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Yeah.¡± Zheng Jinbao immediately raised his thumb and praised, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯re awesome!¡± All the students also revealed looks of admiration. At this moment, the bell rang. The old professor walked in slowly with his textbook. He cleared his throat and began his new lesson. After he spoke, Lin Fan seemed to have heard a lullaby and fell into a deep sleep. Seeing this¡­ The old professor could not help but nod his head repeatedly. Geniuses were indeed made of 99% sweat. Even though he had already obtained so many achievements, Lin Fan probably studied hard again last night. He must not disturb his sleep! Thus, the old professor shut his mouth, turned around, and wrote a few big words on the blackboard¡ª¡¯Quiet self-study, no talking. Violators will be punished with 0 points at the end of the semester!¡¯ The entire classroom immediately fell silent. There was only a series of loud snores. The crisp bell rang. Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. There was a little more noise in the classroom. At this moment, Counselor Sun Yaodong walked in. He looked up, and when he saw Lin Fan, his eyes lit up. He smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ve always said that I have good taste. Lin Fan has brought glory to our class again. Good, very good!¡± He had brought glory to the class again. Lin Fan rolled his eyes. ¡°Lin Fan, Chancellor Shen Liang wants you to go to his office.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied. Most students did not know how to get to the chancellor¡¯s office even after many years of studying. However, Lin Fan was very familiar with the place. Chancellor Shen Liang seemed to have been waiting for Lin Fan. When Lin Fan came to the door, he quickly went up to him and said happily, ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re here? Hurry up and sit inside!¡± Then, Shen Liang personally poured a cup of fragrant tea for Lin Fan. A dignified chancellor was welcoming him at the door and pouring him tea¡­ One had to admit that he really cared about Lin Fan. Then, they chatted, and the chancellor showed concern. Lin Fan sat on the soft sofa and drank the tea. He would reply to the chancellor from time to time, but he felt bored. Shen Liang seemed to have noticed that Lin Fan was getting impatient. Thus, he cleared his throat and said the reason why he had invited Lin Fan over. ¡°Lin Fan, first of all, on behalf of the school, the country, and the world, please allow me to express my sincere gratitude to you for solving Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, the Hail Conjecture, the Hodge Conjecture, and other mathematical problems, as well as for your invention of the super battery, the earthquake prediction device, the human islet recovery medicine, the carbon-based photolithographic machine, the super battery, and other products that benefit mankind!¡± After Shen Liang finished speaking, he stood up and bowed deeply toward Lin Fan. His words were extremely sincere without any pretense. Lin Fan said, ¡°This is just a small matter. Chancellor, you don¡¯t have to do this.¡± ¡°No!¡± Shen Liang said righteously. ¡°This is what I should do!¡± ¡°Lin Fan, I know you¡¯re a very thoughtful person and don¡¯t like to be restrained. ¡°However, I still want to ask if you can take a few mentors under your wing? ¡°Honestly, I feel that it would be a waste if your wisdom can¡¯t be passed down. ¡°Of course, don¡¯t worry. You only need to give them some guidance when you have time. Most of the time, you can hand them over to other associate professors.¡± In reality, Shen Liang had such thoughts since long ago. However, just as he said, he knew that Lin Fan did not like to be restrained. Therefore, he had never mentioned it before. However, Shen Liang recently found out that the Institute of Science really wanted Lin Fan to go over. This gave Shen Liang a sense of urgency. After all, there was no comparison between Jiangbei University and the Institute of Science. What if Lin Fan really went over? The glory that Jiangbei University had enjoyed during this period of time would soon be gone. However, if Lin Fan had some mentors here, then it would be different. ¡­. Mentor students? The assistant professors would help? Lin Fan was stunned. He was about to speak. At this moment, a clear notification sounded in his mind. [Ding! Mission: Become a teacher. Teach five students and let them receive a total of three international awards. Reward: Five golden red packets and a special skill.] Five golden red packets and a special skill! It had been a long time since he received a skill. ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied immediately. ¡°Huh?¡± When Shen Liang heard Lin Fan¡¯s reply, he was stunned. He had prepared many excuses. He was even prepared to be rejected by Lin Fan. What was the situation now? Lin Fan immediately agreed? He could hardly believe his ears. Lin Fan saw that Shen Liang did not reply for a long time and could not help but say, ¡°Why? Can¡¯t I?¡± Shen Liang hurriedly said, ¡°No, no. Of course, you can!¡± Then, Shen Liang said, ¡°Lin Fan, which subject do you want to teach? Computer? Chemistry? Creatures? Or mathematics?¡± Lin Fan thought for a while and said, ¡°I¡¯ll teach them a little of each subject.¡± After all, Lin Fan needed five students to receive three international awards. Teaching them different subjects would give them a higher chance of winning. Teaching a few students each subject? If it was someone else who said this, they would definitely be spat on. After all, everyone¡¯s focus was different. How could the students be taught different subjects? However, Lin Fan was different! He had achieved amazing results in mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, and computer science! He was a big shot among big shots! He was willing to teach students different disciplines, and Shen Liang could not be happier. How could he object? Chapter 416 - 416 The Selection of Professors! 416 The Selection of Professors! Generally speaking, the selection of professors, especially the selection of full professors, required a long review. However, an hour after Lin Fan agreed to take in students, the official website of Jiangbei University announced that Lin Fan had become a full professor. Then, there was news that Lin Fan would be teaching students. A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples! Countless people started a heated discussion. Man in the Wind: [Heavens! Is God Lin Fan finally going to recruit students? I¡¯m excited!] Blind: [I¡¯m a student from Huaqing University asking how to apply for Master Lin Fan¡¯s postgraduate studies.] Teng Yongsheng: [I¡¯m a student at Capital University. I beg God Lin Fan to take me in.] Likes Chuzheng: [Isn¡¯t Lin Fan a professor at Jiangbei University? The students from Huaqing University and Capital University are going to study under Lin Fan?] Legend of Night Shift: [Huaqing University? Capital University? Let me ask you, has anyone from Huaqing University and Capital University solved several math problems? Has anyone from Huaqing University and Capital University invented earthquake prediction devices, carbon-based photoengraving machines, super batteries, and human islet recovery medicines? I can only say that God Lin Fan is awesome!] ¡­ According to Shen Liang¡¯s initial plan, he wanted Lin Fan to teach all the students from Jiangbei University. After all, the treasures should be kept within the circle. However, as the news spread on the internet, the leaders of Huaqing University, Capital University, and Modu University all made requests to Jiangbei University. Shen Liang could only make a concession. After discussing it with Lin Fan, he posted an email address. Students who wanted to apply to become Lin Fan¡¯s students should send an email to that address. ¡­ When Lin Fan arrived at the classroom, Song Yi asked, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯ve become a professor in our school?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan replied casually. When the students in the classroom heard it, they all cast him envious gazes. Lin Fan first solved a few difficult problems and then invented a high-tech product. Now, he had even become a professor! They both received nine years of compulsory education, but why was he so outstanding? Lin Fan said, ¡°I might have less time to come to classes in the future.¡± After all, he was about to become a teacher. He could not completely ignore his students. Otherwise, how could he complete the mission? ¡°Brother Lin Fan, let¡¯s have dinner together tonight.¡± ¡°Yes, let¡¯s eat together!¡± Ma Zhong also said. Immediately after, all the students in the class followed suit. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°What are you guys doing? It¡¯s not like I¡¯m not coming to classes anymore. Even if I don¡¯t come, we¡¯re still classmates! ¡°But, of course, it¡¯s not a problem to have dinner together tonight! Just take it as a celebration of my becoming a professor. Where do you want to eat?¡± In the past, all the students liked to go to AC Clubhouse. However, today, they went to a barbecue stall near the school. Eating skewers and drinking beer was a different experience. All the students picked up bottles of beer and toasted Lin Fan. The atmosphere was extremely lively. That night, Lin Fan stayed in his dorm to sleep. ¡­ While Lin Fan was eating and sleeping¡­ In the female dormitory, Xia Bing and Xia Xue stared at the form on the screen and looked back and forth several times. They constantly modified and reviewed every word. However, they were still a little worried. At this moment, Zhao Ni, who had just washed her hair, slowly walked over and asked, ¡°What are you two doing?¡± As she spoke, she leaned her head over. ¡°This is¡­ an application form? You guys want to be God Lin Fan¡¯s students?¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue nodded hard. They thought for a moment and said, ¡°You¡­ Can you help me check?¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Alright,¡± Zhao Ni replied. After a while, she said, ¡°Well written! Perfect!¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue nodded, but they still did not immediately send the form. Instead, they started checking again from the beginning to the end. They removed spaces, changed tables, added or removed words¡­ After a long time, they put the form into the email. Xia Bing and Xia Xue moved their mouse and stopped for a long time under the send button¡­ In the end, they finally pressed send. Suddenly, Xia Bing and Xia Xue¡¯s hearts were beating wildly like drums, and their two pretty faces turned red. Then, they sat in front of the computer and quietly looked at their empty mailbox. ¡­ For the next few days, Lin Fan stayed in school. He went to class as usual. After all¡­ Just as Lin Fan had said, he might not have as much time to go to class for the next period of time. It was time to experience the life of a student to the best of his ability now. In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend. Last night, Lin Fan returned to Coiling Dragon Villa. Lin Fan had been eating in the canteen for the past few days. Today, his meal was replaced with M5 beef, Japanese eel, duck breast liver roll, matsutake egg tart, caviar cake, and other delicacies from a Michelin two-star restaurant. After eating his fill, Lin Fan casually swiped his phone. At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something. He slowly walked to the computer and logged into his email. Instantly, tens of thousands of emails appeared on the screen. Among them, there were students from Jiangbei University, Huaqing University, and Capital University¡­ There were also many students from foreign universities. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan could not help but mumble, ¡°Aren¡¯t there too many?¡± Although Lin Fan had the scanning ability and could read these emails in an instant, in the face of thousands of emails, he still felt his scalp go numb. After all, it was very troublesome to click thousands of times with the mouse. After a while, Lin Fan raised the super smart watch on his wrist and called out, ¡°Lil White!¡± ¡°I¡¯m here, Master!¡± The super smart watch flickered slightly and let out a crisp sound. ¡°Can you help me sort and select these emails?¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Of course, Master.¡± Lil White asked, ¡°May I ask what kind of requirements you have for your candidates?¡± Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, ¡°No foreigners!¡± Instantly, Lin Fan¡¯s mailbox lost about a quarter of the emails. Lin Fan continued, ¡°Outstanding talents from the fields of chemistry, computer science, mathematics, physics, and biology. Pick ten from each field with the most potential.¡± ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Lil White said. Soon, there were only 50 emails left. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan picked up his mouse and opened one email after another. He either nodded, shook his head, or pondered¡­ When Lin Fan opened the tenth email, he could not help but mutter, ¡°Nie Zhenjiang of Huaqing University? He also participated in the International Mathematical Modeling Competition with me, right? ¡°He¡¯s an old acquaintance.¡± As he spoke, he opened the next email. ¡°Xia Bing?¡± Chapter 417 - 417 Getting Master Chef Experience 417 Getting Master Chef Experience Lin Fan looked at the email on the screen and was slightly stunned. He seemed to have thought of something and quickly opened the next email. It was sent by Xia Xue. Lin Fan could not help but laugh and say, ¡°These two ladies want to be my students?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t been spending much time with them. After becoming my students, I can spend more time with them.¡± As Lin Fan spoke, he ticked Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s names. Then, he clicked on the next email. Very quickly, he finished reading all 50 emails. Originally, Lin Fan had planned to choose one person from each field¡ªmathematics, computer science, physics, chemistry, and biology. However, Xia Bing and Xia Xue were both computer science students. In the end, the number of students Lin Fan chose increased from five to six. To Lin Fan, choosing a student was just a small matter. After replying to six emails, he went to sleep quietly. He slept quietly¡­ but many people could not sleep tonight! In the female dormitory of Jiangbei University¡­ Xia Bing and Xia Xue stared at the mailbox interface whenever they were free. Today was no exception. After dinner, they turned on their laptops and stared at their laptop screens without blinking. Their beautiful faces were filled with anticipation and nervousness. At this moment, the laptops let out a soft sound. They both received an email. In the next moment¡­ Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s pretty faces were like blooming flowers, extremely brilliant. There were only four words in the email¡ªCongratulations, you¡¯ve been accepted! Even so, Xia Bing and Xia Xue read it and forth a dozen times. In the end, the two women who had always been docile jumped up happily. ¡­ In the male dormitory of Capital University. Hao Zhiwu, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses and had a kitten on his shoulder, was very focused on playing a game called Pesticide. ¡°Three, two, one! My big move is ready!¡± ¡°One! ¡°Two! ¡°Three! ¡°Harvest them all!¡± He controlled the hero and wiped out one enemy after another like flowing water. Soon, he broke through the enemy¡¯s crystal and obtained the final victory! Some people had good grades and were also good at games, which was more infuriating. ¡°We won!¡± Hao Zhiwu shouted excitedly. ¡°Hao Zhiwu, don¡¯t be so agitated. It¡¯s just a game.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Hao Zhiwu replied casually. At this moment, Hao Zhiwu¡¯s phone vibrated slightly, and an email popped up. He clicked to check. The next moment, Hao Zhiwu shouted again, ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°Hao Zhiwu, keep your voice down!¡± his roommate complained again. However¡­ This time, Hao Zhiwu laughed as if he did not hear anything. ¡°Great, this is great. Hahaha!¡± This was because there were four words in the email¡ª¡¯Congratulations, you¡¯ve been accepted!¡¯ He was accepted! He had been recruited by God Lin Fan! ¡­ The internet was also in an uproar. After Lin Fan had chosen his students, the official website of Jiangbei University also released an announcement. Jiangbei University: [After a few days of careful consideration, Lin Fan has selected six students. They are Xia Xue and Xia Bing from Jiangbei University, Nie Zhenjiang from Huaqing University, Hao Zhiwu from Capital University, Jiang Chaoqun from Modu University, and Liu Qianqian from Xia Ke University. He looks forward to having them learn under him. In addition, the application channel will be temporarily closed.] Soon, a large number of comments came in. Half-Life Snow: [God Lin Fan has already chosen six students? I haven¡¯t even sent my email yet!] Leng Shang: [Me too! I was even prepared to send it tomorrow!] Awesome: [Unfortunately, I¡¯m not the one who will accompany God Lin to the end.] Stone Golem: [Commenter above, I nearly vomited.] Happy, Happy: [Jiang Chaoqun has been selected! F*ck! I should hurry up and hug his thigh! That¡¯s my former roommate.] Gentle Water: [Liu Qianqian from Xia Ke University. Does she need a younger sister?] JK: [Are they all local students? Are they no US students?] MAKE: [There¡¯s no one from Eagle Country either. This is unfair!] Mr. Huang: [What fairness? God Lin Fan is from Hua Nation. He can choose whichever student he wants!] Li Jinyi: [Don¡¯t be so quick to speculate. Our Stick Nation has already verified Lin Fan¡¯s identity. There¡¯s a high possibility that he¡¯s one of our Stick Nation people.] Entering: [Stick Nation, I¡¯m willing to call you the most shameless!] ¡­ When a ray of warm sunlight fell on the windowsill, Lin Fan opened his eyes slowly. He first looked at his phone. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,543,900 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, he turned his attention to the check-in system. ¡°Check-in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Master Chef Experience. It¡¯s a cooking technique that far exceeds ordinary people¡¯s, and at the same time, it can display a fascinating charm.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s expression changed. Finally, it was not something as useless as ten million yuan! Master Chef Experience? In the past, Lin Fan also wanted to become an outstanding chef. Later, he also tried to cook for himself. However, it could only be said that his cooking would not kill people. After that, he rarely cooked again. Master Chef Experience¡­ This seemed to be a good thing. At the same time, Lin Fan¡¯s mind was suddenly filled with many exquisite cooking methods. It was as if Lin Fan had just received a new toy. He could not wait to get the fresh food store to send over M9 snowflake beef, Australian lobster, egg noodles, potatoes, lettuce, green peppers, eggs, flatbread, garlic, and other ingredients. Lin Fan brought the ingredients to the kitchen. Lin Fan picked up a potato and gripped the knife handle tightly. A crisp and rhythmic sound immediately rang out. Then, strips of potato that were uniform in size and thickness appeared on the cutting board. After a wave of smoke rose, a rich fragrance wafted out. Then¡­ Delicious dishes were served on the table one after another¡ªperfectly seared snowflake steak, fragrant noodles, golden shredded potatoes, homemade tea eggs, and so on. Lin Fan picked up the seafood and put it in his mouth. He nodded and said, ¡°The noodles are chewy, and the soup is fragrant. The taste is not bad!¡± One had to know¡­ For the past few months, he had eaten breakfast at a two-star Michelin restaurant almost every day. Saying the food he cooked was ¡®not bad¡¯ was already high praise! One could imagine how good the taste was. Lin Fan picked up another piece of snowflake steak and chewed it gently. ¡°The heat is moderate, and the meat melts in the mouth. It maintains the original sweetness of the beef.¡± As he ate, he commented on each dish. After a while, all the food on the table was eaten clean. Lin Fan rubbed his round tummy, a satisfied look on his face. Chapter 418 - 418 The Professor and Students Meet; Interrogation! 418 The Professor and Students Meet; Interrogation! He tasted the delicacies he made. Whether it was his body or his mind, Lin Fan was extremely satisfied. He seemed to be fascinated by his own cooking skills. He chose to cook at home for the entire weekend. He was very content. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was Monday. Today, Lin Fan drove the Cullinan to Jiangbei University under the warm sunlight. When Vice-Chancellor Feng Weijian saw Lin Fan, he smiled and said, ¡°Student Lin Fan, wait, no. You should be called Professor Lin now. Actually, I think I should have called you that a long time ago! ¡°Good morning, Professor Lin!¡± ¡°Good morning, Vice-Chancellor Feng,¡± Lin Fan replied.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think you know where your office is, right?¡± Feng Weijian continued. ¡°I¡¯ll bring you there.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you, Vice-Chancellor Feng,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°No trouble, no trouble at all!¡± Feng Weijian laughed. The two of them chatted as they walked, and their footsteps were light. ¡°Professor Lin, what are you going to teach the students?¡± Feng Weijian asked. ¡°If it involves projects and research, Jiangbei University will do our best to meet your funding requirements.¡± Feng Weijian was not lying. It would be extremely difficult for an ordinary professor to apply for research projects and funding. However, Lin Fan was different. Jiangbei University was not afraid of Lin Fan¡¯s application, but they were afraid that he would not apply. Lin Fan said, ¡°I haven¡¯t decided yet. Let¡¯s bring them to win a few international awards first.¡± After all, this was also the reason why he was teaching students. However, Feng Weijian did not take his words to heart. Lin Fan had not even thought of what to research, yet he wanted his students to get a few international awards first? How was this possible? The two of them chatted as they walked. Before long, they arrived at an extremely spacious and clean office. There was a huge mahogany desk and a very soft and comfortable executive chair. In the middle was an antique coffee table and a branded sofa. There were a few smaller mahogany tables and chairs near the door. It did not feel like an office at all but more like a casual teahouse. It was luxurious and stylish. ¡°Professor Lin, are you satisfied with this office?¡± Feng Weijian asked. ¡°Not bad!¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°As long as you¡¯re satisfied!¡± Feng Weijian said happily.¡± At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside the corridor. They were Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Nie Zhenjiang, Hao Zhiwu, Jiang Chaoqun, and Liu Qianqian. Feng Weijian saw a few people and asked, ¡°How many of you have come? In the future, all of you will study hard under Professor Lin. If you have any questions, you can ask Professor Lin. If Professor Lin doesn¡¯t have time, you can also ask the assistant professors.¡± When everyone heard this, they all looked toward Lin Fan. The moment Xia Bing and Xia Xue saw Lin Fan, their faces turned red. When their eyes met Lin Fan¡¯s, they hurriedly lowered their heads, wishing they could bury their heads in the ground. Nie Zhenjiang¡¯s expression was a little complicated. Hao Zhiwu, Jiang Chaoqun, and Liu Qianqian looked at Lin Fan with shock and admiration. It was no wonder that they were like this. Lin Fan had never participated in an interview before, nor had he ever exposed any photos of himself on the internet. They only heard that he was very young. However, they never thought that he would be so young. In fact, he even seemed a little younger than them. ¡°Well then, get along well with your professor. I¡¯ll be leaving first!¡± Feng Weijian said. After saying that, he walked straight into the distance. Lin Fan cleared his throat and said, ¡°Let¡¯s introduce ourselves.¡± ¡°Hello, everyone. My name is Hao Zhiwu. I¡¯m from the School of Biological Engineering at Capital University. I love animals and playing games! Those who have a hobby in this area can look for me anytime.¡± Hao Zhiwu was the first to introduce himself. As he spoke, he danced. Obviously, he was an extrovert. Soon, he left an impression in everyone¡¯s hearts. ¡°Hello, everyone. My name is Jiang Chaoqun. I¡¯m from the School of Chemistry at Modu University. Reading,¡± Jiang Chaoqun said. He had a rather dull personality and spoke very little. ¡°Hello, everyone. My name is Liu Qianqian. I¡¯m from the Physics Department of Xia Ke University,¡± Liu Qianqian said concisely. ¡°Hello, everyone,¡± Nie Zhenjiang said. ¡°My name is Nie Zhenjiang. I¡¯m from Huaqing University¡¯s Math Department. I like to play basketball.¡± ¡°Hello, everyone¡­ My name is Xia Bing. I¡¯m from Jiangbei University¡¯s Department of Computer Science,¡± Xia Bing said. ¡°Hello, everyone¡­ My name is Xia Xue. I¡¯m from Jiangbei University¡¯s Department of Computer Science,¡± Xia Xue said. After that, they seemed to have used up all their strength and could not stop panting. Lin Fan gently patted Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s shoulders with a smile. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous.¡± Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s already blushing faces were like ripe tomatoes at this moment. Then, they nodded hard. Lin Fan said, ¡°Let¡¯s go in and sit down.¡± After the six of them sat down¡­ Lin Fan said, ¡°Let me talk about my short-term goal. I want you to win a few international awards first.¡± When Hao Zhiwu and the others heard this, they looked at each other in dismay. Was it that easy to get an international award? Lin Fan did not care much about it and asked, ¡°Hao Zhiwu, what are you best at researching?¡± ¡°Bio-pharmaceutics,¡± Hao Zhiwu said. ¡°More specifically, the kidney! I¡¯ve always thought that the kidney is the source of strength. Only when the kidney is good can the body be good¡­¡± However, Lin Fan did not wait for him to finish and interrupted, ¡°Alright, I got it.¡± After saying that, he took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote down a list of problems. ¡°Try to solve these problems.¡± Hao Zhiwu was slightly surprised by Lin Fan¡¯s master-level handwriting. Then, he looked at the problems carefully. He frowned and pondered. ¡°Alright, Professor Lin!¡± ¡°Jiang Chaoqun, which direction are you best at?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Polymolecular coating,¡± Jiang Chaoqun said. When he said this, Jiang Chaoqun was actually a little nervous. That was because Lin Fan¡¯s achievements did not involve the study of polymolecular coating. It was also because of this that Jiang Chaoqun hesitated to come to Jiangbei University after he was selected. Lin Fan did not think too much about it. He picked up a pen and paper and wrote down some problems. ¡°Try to answer these problems,¡± Lin Fan said. Jiang Chaoqun looked at the paper and read the problems. Other than surprise, his face was filled with joy. Lin Fan knew about polymolecular coating! His choice was not wrong! ¡°Alright, Professor Lin!¡± Jiang Chaoqun said. Lin Fan did not care about what Jiang Chaoqun was thinking. He slowly came in front of Xia Bing and Xia Xue and turned on the laptop in front of them. Lin Fan¡¯s hands seemed to be flying as they jumped rapidly on the keyboard. At the same time, countless complicated codes appeared on the computer screen. A moment later, Lin Fan stopped and said, ¡°Try to break it.¡± Chapter 419 - 419 Studying; My Lil White! 419 Studying; My Lil White! Lin Fan had Professor-Level Computer Science Experience. At the same time, he also had Professional Hacking Skills. Writing a relatively complicated program was nothing. Xia Bing and Xia Xue felt the warm aura from Lin Fan¡¯s body, and their faces turned red. After a while, they stuttered, ¡°Okay¡­ Alright.¡± Then, Lin Fan looked at Liu Qianqian and asked, ¡°What kind of research are you good at?¡± Liu Qianqian thought for a moment and said, ¡°Electromagnetism.¡± Lin Fan nodded. He picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote down a few problems. ¡°I¡¯ll try to answer them.¡± In the end, Lin Fan¡¯s gaze landed on Nie Zhenjiang. ¡°What are you good at?¡± ¡°The Navier-Stokes equation,¡± Nie Zhenjiang said. When Jiang Chaoqun, Liu Qianqian, Hao Zhiwu, and the others heard this, they all looked at him in surprise. Even though they did not major in mathematics, they also knew that the Navier-Stokes equation was one of the Millennium Prize Problems. No one had been able to solve it for hundreds of years. Nie Zhenjiang was good at the Navier-Stokes equations! ¡°Not bad, Zhenjiang!¡± Hao Zhiwu said directly. ¡°You¡¯re actually studying one of the Millennium Prize Problems! Which step are you at now?¡± Nie Zhenjiang blushed. Which step had his research reached? He was just an ordinary university student. How far could he go? He had just gotten started. Lin Fan did not care about it and wrote down equations and problems. Nie Zhenjiang looked at Lin Fan¡¯s elegant handwriting and complicated calculations. He was in a daze. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the scene of Lin Fan participating in the mathematical modeling competition with him. At that time, Nie Zhenjiang was determined to win the Higher Education Cup. In the end, it was given to Lin Fan. Regarding this¡­ Nie Zhenjiang had been brooding over this. He felt that it was all because Lin Fan had solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture. That was why the judges gave the Higher Education Cup to Lin Fan. Now, it seemed that he was really too narrow-minded. Lin Fan saw that Nie Zhenjiang was in a daze and not saying anything. He could not help but ask, ¡°Don¡¯t you understand? Should I change the topics to something simpler?¡± Nie Zhenjiang¡¯s face became redder and redder. He hurriedly said, ¡°No need, no need.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head. ¡°Alright, then try to think of the answers. If you don¡¯t understand anything, you can ask me.¡± Everyone responded. It had to be said that these people were indeed talents from famous universities. They all had extremely strong self-control. Not long after, they moved a large pile of books from the library and quickly flipped through them. They kept taking notes and making calculations. Suddenly, the sound of books being flipped and the crisp sound of pen tips colliding with the table could be heard in the office. An ordinary person could focus on studying for half an hour or an hour¡­ However, these people maintained an extremely focused learning attitude almost all day long other than when they had to take their meals and visit the toilet. The originally empty draft books were now filled with countless complicated patterns and calculations. This state lasted for three days. When everyone was tired and ready to go home, Hao Zhiwu suddenly said, ¡°Professor Lin, can I bring Lil White here?¡± ¡°Lil White?¡± Lin Fan asked curiously. As soon as he finished speaking, the super smart watch on his wrist flashed slightly. However, it did not respond. It was because it knew that there were many other people here. ¡°It¡¯s my cat. I¡¯ve been keeping it in the dormitory for the past few days, so it¡¯s a little bored.¡± ¡°Of course, this isn¡¯t the main reason,¡± he explained further. ¡°The main reason is that when I¡¯m with Lil White, my learning efficiency will increase by a lot.¡± Bringing a cat to Lin Fan¡¯s office. In the past few days, Hao Zhiwu, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, and Jiang Chaoqun had been reading and studying. Lin Fan spent every day in his chair playing with his phone and laptop. He occasionally looked out the window. He was really bored. If there was a cat in the office, it would be nice to pet it. Thus, Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Alright, bring it over, then.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Hao Zhiwu said happily, ¡­ The next day¡­ Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Hao Zhiwu, and the others all arrived at the office on time. On Hao Zhiwu¡¯s shoulder was a white cat. ¡°Is this Lil White?¡± Liu Qianqian asked. ¡°It¡¯s so white and chubby. How cute. It¡¯s actually still lying on your shoulder without moving at all. How obedient.¡± After three days of getting along, the few of them were basically familiar with each other and would occasionally chat. ¡°Of course!¡± Hao Zhiwu said proudly. ¡°My Lil White likes to lie on my shoulder. If I don¡¯t carry it down, it can continue to lie on my shoulder!¡± ¡°It¡¯s that obedient?¡± Liu Qianqian asked in surprise. ¡°Can I hold it?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that won¡¯t do,¡± Hao Zhiwu said apologetically. ¡°My Lil White is very attached to me. It only wants to be hugged by me.¡± At this moment, Lin Fan walked in slowly. Hao Zhiwu, Xu Qianqian, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, and the others quickly greeted, ¡°Hello, Professor Lin.¡± Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°Hello.¡± As they spoke, the cat also let out two clear meows. To Hao Zhiwu, Liu Qianqian, and the others, the cat¡¯s meows were crisp and pleasant. When Lin Fan heard the cat¡¯s meows, a strange look appeared on his face. It was because Lin Fan had the skill¡ªAnimal Communication. He could understand the language of all animals and communicate with them. The little cat asked, ¡°The poop-shoveler has been here these few days? It doesn¡¯t look like there¡¯s anything delicious here! ¡°Then why have I been making a scene at home these past few days?¡± Lin Fan smiled and opened a bag of premium beef cat food that he had spent 1,000 yuan on last night at the supermarket. He said, ¡°Lil White, I have delicious food here. Come over quickly.¡± The cat did not hesitate at all. It jumped down from Hao Zhiwu¡¯s shoulder and walked toward Lin Fan. Seeing this¡­ Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, and the others all looked at Hao Zhiwu. They looked as if they were asking him, ¡®Didn¡¯t you say that it¡¯ll refuse to come down from your shoulder?¡¯ At this moment, the cat had already arrived in front of Lin Fan. It was eating the top-grade beef cat food in Lin Fan¡¯s hands, and its mouth could not help but let out a series of gurgling sounds. ¡°It¡¯s so delicious. I¡¯ve never eaten such delicious food before! ¡°It¡¯s so delicious!¡± Lin Fan smiled, ¡°Come, let me hug you. I have a lot of good food here.¡± The cat did not hesitate at all and jumped into Lin Fan¡¯s arms. It made a series of purring sounds to please him. ¡°Master, can you be my new master?¡± Seeing this¡­ Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, and the others looked at Hao Zhiwu again. It was as if they were saying¡­ ¡®Is this what you meant by it¡¯s only attached to you?¡¯ Chapter 420 - 420 Answer; Work Hard! 420 Answer; Work Hard! Hao Zhiwu opened his mouth but did not know what to say. In the past, as long as he waved at Lil White, it would come over very quickly. However, this time¡­ Hao Zhiwu¡¯s hand was about to break, but Lil White was still by Lin Fan¡¯s feet. It kept rubbing against Lin Fan¡¯s feet and making sounds to please him. Hao Zhiwu was a little helpless. He walked in front of Lin Fan and said, ¡°Lil White, Professor Lin has a lot of important things to deal with. Don¡¯t disturb him.¡± As he spoke, Hao Zhiwu reached out to carry the cat. However, Lil White¡¯s body swayed, and it dodged to the side. Then, it jumped into Lin Fan¡¯s arms. Seeing this¡­ Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, and the others revealed a strange look again. It was as if they were saying, ¡®Is this what you mean by very clingy?¡¯ Hao Zhiwu¡¯s face was filled with embarrassment. After a while, he asked, ¡°Professor Lin, where did you buy the cat food?¡± Obviously, he also realized that his cat liked this cat food very much. That was why he turned a blind eye to his summoning. ¡°I bought it from Premium Supermarket,¡± Lin Fan said. Hao Zhiwu¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly. He had only been in Jiangbei for a few days. However, he had also heard of the name Premium Supermarket. It was synonymous with Jiangbei¡¯s luxury and fresh food! ¡°This¡­ How much is this bag of cat food?¡± Hao Zhiwu asked carefully. ¡°I think it only costs a little over 1,000 yuan,¡± Lin Fan said. It only cost a little over 1,000 yuan! The corners of everyone¡¯s mouths twitched. One had to know¡­ The bag of cat food in Lin Fan¡¯s hand was only the size of a palm. It was so mall¡­ Yet it cost more than 1,000 yuan? Was there gold in this bag of cat food? Originally¡­ Hao Zhiwu was still thinking about giving Lil White this cat food every day when he got back. In this way, Lil White would only stick to him in the future. At this moment, he completely threw this thought to the back of his mind. Eating this kind of cat food every day? It would be a big loss. Hao Zhiwu looked at Lil White, who was lying in Lin Fan¡¯s arms and purring. In the end, he could only turn around. Thus, Hao Zhiwu, Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, and the others began today¡¯s study time again. The tips of the pens collided with the tables, making crisp sounds again. Maybe¡­ Just as Hao Zhiwu had said, when he was with Lil White, his learning efficiency increased. Two hours later, Hao Zhiwu came to Lin Fan excitedly with a large stack of draft paper. ¡°Professor Lin, look¡­ How did I answer this problem?¡± Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, and the others all felt their hearts tighten. Lin Fan had given everyone some problems. However, these problems were all very complicated. Many of them had just begun to think. In the end, Hao Zhiwu answered one of them so quickly? Lin Fan took the draft paper from Hao Zhiwu and flipped through it quickly. ¡°Professor Lin, the questions you set are really good!¡± Hao Zhiwu said. ¡°The kidney is the biggest treasure trove of the human body. ¡°Once it¡¯s infected, the patient will be sluggish. ¡°Through your questions and my answers, we can make large progress in this field of study! ¡°Professor Lin, your understanding of the kidney is simply the essence! ¡°This treasure trove must be¡­¡± At this moment, Lin Fan interrupted, ¡°According to your explanation, the kidney that¡¯s originally exhausted will soon become swollen.¡± ¡°What? Edema?¡± Hao Zhiwu was stunned for a moment. Lin Fan said, ¡°Think again.¡± Hao Zhiwu frowned. After a long while, he finally understood. He hurriedly turned around and sat down. Then, he picked up his pen and wrote quickly. This time, Hao Zhiwu did not even raise his head. After an hour, he took a stack of draft papers and came to Lin Fan. Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Not bad this time!¡±¡± Hao Zhiwu¡¯s face lit up when he heard that. He said proudly, ¡°Professor Lin, didn¡¯t I say that I¡¯d be much more efficient with Lil White?¡± It had to be said that Hao Zhiwu¡¯s mentality was really good. Or rather, the more he was defeated, the braver he became. He directly threw his previous mistake to the back of his mind. As for what it meant to be more efficient by being around Lil White¡­ it was all nonsense. In fact¡­ After three days of research, Hao Zhiwu had almost finished one of the problems yesterday. It was just that he encountered some problems along the way. However, he could have made the changes in time. While Hao Zhiwu was talking, a round white cat was lying beside Lin Fan and purring. Hao Zhiwu¡¯s expression immediately froze. Great! Pretend he did not say anything! This cat had nothing to do with his learning efficiency! Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, and the others, who were also sitting in the office, all cast envious gazes at Hao Zhiwu. He had answered one of the problems! Hao Zhiwu was the first to answer one of Lin Fan¡¯s problems! However, the crowd was not depressed because they were lagging behind. On the contrary, they gripped their pens and paper tightly. They were filled with fighting spirit as they solved the difficult problems in front of them. Especially Xia Bing and Xia Xue. Their two quiet little faces seemed to have a phrase written on them¡ª¡¯Competition is the greatest motivation for mankind to move forward!¡¯ A few days ago, everyone would choose to rest for an hour after lunch. However, this afternoon, Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, Xia Bing, and Xia Xue did not take a break. After Xia Bing and Xia Xue bought two pieces of bread from the small supermarket nearby, they continued to crack the program while eating the bread. In their hearts, they were telling themselves that they had already lost to one person in front of Lin Fan. They definitely could not lose to a second person! Absolutely not! Xia Bing and Xia Xue¡¯s beautiful eyes stared at the screen full of complicated codes without blinking. Their two jade-like hands jumped on the keyboard like phantoms. At this moment, the laptops in front of them let out a soft sound. Immediately after, a line of words appeared on the screens. Right at this moment¡­ ¡°Professor Lin, what do you think of my answer to this question?¡± Jiang Chaoqun stood up and asked. Lin Fan did not answer him immediately. Instead, he looked at Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s screens as he said, ¡°Xia Bing, Xia Xue, you two did well! ¡°This program has a total of three stages. Passing one stage means that you¡¯ve solved a difficult problem.¡± When Xia Bing and Xia Xue heard this, it was as if they had heard the most beautiful sound in the world. Their beautiful faces were immediately like blooming flowers, extremely brilliant! Chapter 421 - 421 Take a Shower in the Morning; Take Care of Your Body! 421 Take a Shower in the Morning; Take Care of Your Body! Lin Fan nodded at Xia Bing and Xia Xue. Then, he took a stack of draft papers from Jiang Chaoqun. Lin Fan flipped through it quickly. In just a few seconds, he came to a conclusion. ¡°You solved this problem well. Continue to work hard.¡± Although it was just a simple compliment, it made Jiang Chaoqun extremely happy. He said, ¡°Yes, Professor Lin!¡± Seeing this¡­ Liu Qianqian¡¯s and Nie Zhenjiang¡¯s hearts tightened. More people had solved the first problem. They were behind! At the thought of this, they began to work on solving the problems even more seriously. Xia Bing and Xia Xue doubled their efforts. They were not the ones who were the first to solve the first problem. They absolutely had to snatch that title back for the second problem! Everyone was competing with each other, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. When school was about to end, Liu Qianqian came to Lin Fan with a stack of draft books and said, ¡°Professor Lin, these are the steps to answer the first problem.¡± Lin Fan flipped through it and nodded. ¡°Good answer!¡± Liu Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, she managed to solve a problem. She was not too far behind. She heaved a sigh of relief, but Nie Zhenjiang was extremely nervous and flustered. Everyone else had solved the first problem, and he was in last place! At this moment, a crisp bell rang across Jiangbei University. Lin Fan said, ¡°Today¡¯s class will end here. Everyone, go back and rest.¡± After saying that, Lin Fan strode out. Jiang Chaoqun and the others stretched their bodies, packed their books, and prepared to leave the office. When they saw Nie Zhenjiang¡¯s listless look, they immediately realized something. They comforted him, saying, ¡°Zhenjiang, you¡¯re studying the Navier-Stokes equation. It¡¯s normal for you to have difficulty solving it. After you go back, have a good sleep. Perhaps you¡¯ll have a sudden stroke of inspiration and be able to solve it very soon. Take it slowly. Don¡¯t be anxious.¡± Nie Zhenjiang¡¯s face turned red again at the mention of this matter. The Navier-Stokes equation! A few days ago, he said that this was something he was good at. In the end, he had yet to solve the first problem. ¡°Alright,¡± Nie Zhenjiang said in a muffled voice. After he returned to the dormitory, he did not have a good sleep. Instead, he turned on the lights and studied the problem carefully, calculating for an entire night. He was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, but there was still not much progress. In order to prevent him from being listless in the office, Nie Zhenjiang took a cold shower early in the morning. At this moment, Hao Zhiwu, who stayed in the dormitory next door, walked over with a cat on his shoulder. He looked at Nie Zhenjiang, who was still a little wet, and said thoughtfully, ¡°Zhenjiang, you took a shower so early in the morning?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Nie Zhenjiang nodded. ¡°Have you washed the clothes?¡± Hao Zhiwu asked again. Nie Zhenjiang said, ¡°Not yet.¡± Hao Zhiwu could not help but take a step back and say earnestly, ¡°The kidney is the treasure trove of humans and the pillar of a man¡¯s life! Zhenjiang, you have to protect it well!¡± After saying that, he even patted his shoulder gently, looking like he was taking care of him. Nie Zhenjiang was baffled. After a while, he seemed to have thought of something and spat out the words, ¡°This guy!¡± ¡­ Although Nie Zhenjiang had taken a cold shower in the morning, he was still in a bad state of mind after not sleeping for the entire night. He sat down in the office and felt drowsy. At this moment, Lin Fan walked in with light steps The cat, who was lying lazily on Hao Zhiwu¡¯s shoulder with half-closed eyes, immediately opened its eyes and let out two crisp meows. ¡°Master is here! ¡°Master, did you bring delicious food?¡± The cat jumped down from Hao Zhiwu¡¯s shoulder and came to Lin Fan¡¯s feet, rubbing against him. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the food will be here soon.¡± As if to verify Lin Fan¡¯s words, a delivery man walked over with a box and asked, ¡°Is Mr. Lin here?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Please sign here,¡± the courier said. After signing his name, Lin Fan opened the box. It was filled with yesterday¡¯s premium cat food. Seeing this¡­ Hao Zhiwu¡¯s eyes widened. The reason why he brought the cat, Lil White, over today was because he was a little worried. On the one hand, it was because Lil White was constantly making trouble in the dormitory. On the other hand, after Lil White ate Lin Fan¡¯s premium beef cat food yesterday, it stopped eating cheap cat food that costs tens of yuan. This made Hao Zhiwu furious. He had no choice but to bring Lil White here today to try his luck. What if Lin Fan brought premium beef cat food again? That way, would Lil White not be able to eat a little more? However, what was the situation in front of him? The box was half the height of a person! Yesterday, Hao Zhiwu went online to search for the price of this cat food. It was 1,589 yuan per 150 grams! In other words, each gram cost ten yuan on average! Even he could not afford to eat such expensive food, let alone to feed his cat. How much did the box in front of him cost? 50,000? 100,000? Hao Zhiwu felt his knees go weak and almost fell to his knees. Lin Fan did not care that much. He casually tore open a bag of premium beef cat food. The cat, Lil White, began to munch on the food happily. ¡°It¡¯s so delicious! ¡°The new master is amazing!¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°If you like it, then eat more.¡± Then, Hao Zhiwu, Liu Qianqian, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, and the others began to study hard today. Although Nie Zhenjiang was eager to answer the first question and catch up with the others, he still had a lot of questions to answer. However, he did not sleep last night and was in a terrible state. He seemed extremely tired. Lin Fan seemed to have noticed this as well. After stroking Lil White for a while, he took out a box of Spirit Tea and said, ¡°If you feel sleepy, you can make some tea for yourself.¡± Nie Zhenjiang was too sleepy, so he had to put down his studies and get up to make tea. When the boiling water was poured into the teapot with a few tea leaves, a rich tea fragrance instantly spread. Nie Zhenjiang, who was originally extremely tired, felt refreshed as if a breeze had brushed past him. Almost reflexively, he drank a large glass. Instantly, it was as if he had a pair of wings, letting him soar wantonly under the blue sky. All the tiredness from before was swept away, and what replaced it was extreme relaxation and comfort! After a while, he came back to his senses. Nie Zhenjiang stared at the cup of tea in front of him with a shocked expression. When he raised his head and saw Lin Fan, he remembered what he was here for. He was still in the office and had problems to solve. Therefore, he quickly suppressed the surprise in his heart, turned around, and returned to the table to think about the problems again. Chapter 422 - 422 Delicious; Game! 422 Delicious; Game! Yesterday¡­ A few minutes ago, Nie Zhenjiang was still at a loss on the first problem. At this moment, he had just sat down when a very clear train of thought appeared in his mind. Then, Nie Zhenjiang picked up a pen and paper and started writing quickly. The entire office was filled with the sound of the pen hitting the table. In just over half an hour, pages of extremely complicated calculations were all written on the paper. Nie Zhenjiang walked up to Lin Fan nervously and said, ¡°Professor Lin, do you think this is the solution to this problem?¡± Lin Fan quickly scanned the paper. After a few seconds, he said, ¡°Not bad! The solution is correct.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Nie Zhenjiang said excitedly. When Jiang Chaoqun heard this, he could not help but raise his head and say, ¡°Zhenjiang, well done! You¡¯ve solved the Navier-Stokes equation!¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± Nie Zhenjiang said with a smile. At this moment, Hao Zhiwu also raised his head. Just as he was about to say something, he sniffed and said, ¡°What¡¯s that smell? It feels so refreshing.¡± Nie Zhenjiang said, ¡°You should be smelling the fragrance of this tea. It¡¯s very delicious. It¡¯s because I drank it that I was able to answer the first problem so quickly. You guys can come and drink it too.¡± Liu Qianqian, Xia Bing, and Xia Xue, who were still trying to solve the second difficult question, could not help but raise their heads and look at the tea that Nie Zhenjiang was pointing at. After all, this involved solving a difficult problem. Hao Zhiwu was the first to come to the coffee table. He picked up a cup of Spirit Tea and poured it into his mouth. In the next moment, Hao Zhiwu felt as if his clothes had been torn to shreds. It was as if he had transformed into the legendary first human¡ªAdam! He was naked and had a strong jumping ability. In the dense forest, he ran and jumped freely against the breeze¡­ It was so refreshing and pleasant! ¡°This tea is really delicious!¡± Hao Zhiwu could not help but praise. When Jiang Chaoqun, Liu Qianqian, Xia Bing, and Xia Xue heard this, they also walked over and poured a cup of tea into their mouths. In the next moment, everyone¡¯s faces revealed a touch of unconcealable comfort and enjoyment. ¡°So refreshing!¡± ¡°I feel much more relaxed.¡± Everyone could not help but praise. When they returned to their seats, their minds were much clearer than before. Facing the second problem, they had some ideas. At this moment¡­ They finally understood why Nie Zhenjiang had said that he could answer the first problem so quickly because he drank the tea. This tea was simply too magical! They were all immersed in learning. However, sometimes, a clear mind was not enough to answer difficult questions. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon, but no one had solved the second problem. Yesterday and this morning, Lin Fan had been playing with the cat. However, as time passed, it gradually became boring. After browsing the news on his tablet for a while, he opened the group chat that he had not sent a message in for a long time. Work Slayer: [Let¡¯s play a few rounds of games.] Dream Type: [Yes, the worker is a godly tycoon! Aunty: [Coming!] Old Rate: [I¡¯ll be there soon!] Meowgod: [Logging in to my account!] ¡­ Hao Zhiwu, who had been reading books and answering difficult problems for a long time, stood up and stretched. He looked at his cat, Lil White, who was lying beside Lin Fan. He walked over and prepared to pet it. He had just petted it a few times when he heard the familiar sound of Pesticide. He looked at Lin Fan, who was holding his tablet, and said in surprise, ¡°Professor Lin, you like to play Pesticide too? ¡°Haha! I like to play it too! ¡°I like to play mage, archer, and jungler! ¡°Actually, I used to like the support the most, but I often encounter some idiots who occupy the output position. The support can¡¯t save the world at all.¡± Hao Zhiwu was an extrovert. In addition, he had been spending time with Lin Fan for the past few days and felt a sense of familiarity. When the game was brought up, he began talking non-stop. Hao Zhiwu said after a pause, ¡°Actually, a large part of the reason why I chose bioengineering was that I wanted to study more about the human body! ¡°In the future, I want to think of a way to create a piece of equipment that allows one to enter games with their consciousness! ¡°Just like in Sword Art Online, where you can pick up your own weapons and kill monsters.¡± As Hao Zhiwu said this, his eyes flickered. It was as if he already had this kind of game equipment and was wantonly adventuring in the game. At this moment¡­ Lin Fan, who had been playing games silently, suddenly stopped what he was doing. This was because a crisp notification sounded in his mind. [Ding! Mission: Watch a biology experiment and a computer experiment. Read Nervous System Research, From Neuron to Brain, The Constitution of Neuron, Nervous Transmission, Animation, Mathematical Methods in 3D Games and Computer Images, and Game Program Patterns. Reward: Computer and biology experience increases by one level, gaming helmet, and its working principles.] Hao Zhiwu saw that Lin Fan was not playing the game and that his character was about to be killed. He was even more agitated than Lin Fan, who was the one playing games. ¡°Professor Lin, why aren¡¯t you moving? Move! You¡¯re about to be beaten to death!¡± When Lin Fan heard this voice, he came back to his senses. However, he did not play the game. Instead, he handed the tablet to Hao Zhiwu and said, ¡°You play.¡± Then, he said to the others, ¡°Study on your own. If you encounter any questions that you don¡¯t understand, put them aside for now. Ask me again when I come back.¡± After Lin Fan finished speaking, he walked out. Hao Zhiwu took Lin Fan¡¯s tablet and started playing the game. He spent a long time to avoid his character dying. ¡°You want to kill me? You¡¯re still a little inexperienced!¡± Hao Zhiwu could not help but nod and praise. When he saw the IDs of his teammates, his eyes widened as he shouted, ¡°Dream Type? Aunt? Old Rate? Meowgod? ¡°Oh my god!¡± Dream Type, Aunt, Old Rate, and Meowgod were the most popular players in Pesticide! In the end, these people were actually ranked together with Lin Fan! This¡­ This¡­ Hao Zhiwu could not help but¡­ look at Lin Fan, who had disappeared from the door. ¡°Professor Lin, you¡¯re awesome!¡± Chapter 423 - 423 Computer Experiment; Body Sensing Equipment! 423 Computer Experiment; Body Sensing Equipment! Hao Zhiwu had always had a dream. That was to game with one of the top players¡ªDream Type, Aunt, Old Rate, and Meowgod. However, Lin Fan had all four of them on his team! How amazing was this? After a while, Hao Zhiwu looked away and focused on the tablet again. He continued playing the game excitedly. During this time, he did not forget to take out his phone and record a few videos of himself and the game as a memento. ¡­ Lin Fan did not care about Hao Zhiwu¡¯s actions at all. At this moment, he had already arrived at the entrance of Teaching Building No. 1. The reason why Lin Fan was so eager to complete the mission was that he was in a hurry. On the one hand, this mission could increase his computer science experience level. On the other hand, he was also very interested in the gaming helmet that Hao Zhiwu mentioned. As long as one put on the helmet, one could enter the game world. How fun would that be? At this moment, a bald man in a white shirt walked over. When he saw Lin Fan, his silver-rimmed glasses flashed as he quickly walked over. ¡°Hello, Professor Lin!¡± the bald man said happily. ¡°I¡¯m Qiu Junxiong, a professor at the School of Computer Science.¡± Lin Fan¡¯s name had long since spread throughout Jiangbei University. Qiu Junxiong naturally recognized him. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s Professor Qiu,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Hello.¡± Lin Fan greeted him! The smile on Qiu Junxiong¡¯s face widened as he continued, ¡°Professor Lin, Professor Liu Wei and I have brought a few graduate students to carry out a sensory device experiment. Are you interested in taking a look?¡± After he said this, a look of anticipation appeared on his face. A long time ago, there was a saying circulating among the teachers of Jiangbei University. If one wanted to make a breakthrough in their research, get Lin Fan to be interested! Initially, Qiu Junxiong did not pay much attention to such words. However, not long ago, Wang Jun and Chen Haiyang, who were professors at the School of Computer Science, had piqued Lin Fan¡¯s interest in their experiments. From there, he invented the carbon-based photolithographic machine and published a thesis on Science! This matter made all the professors in the computer science department extremely jealous. One had to know¡­ Wang Jun and Chen Haiyang were now often interviewed and reported about by various media outlets. They had become big names in the field of computer chips. In addition, Jiangbei University had also increased its investment in all its projects. It could be said that Wang Jun and Chen Haiyang were rich and famous now! How could they not be jealous? All of this was because of Lin Fan. When Lin Fan heard Qiu Junxiong¡¯s words, his heart skipped a beat. An experiment on a sensory device? Could this be considered related to his gaming helmet? Even if there was no connection, as long as he watched the experiment, it would be enough! Thinking of this, Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go take a look.¡± He agreed! Lin Fan agreed! The joy in Qiu Junxiong¡¯s heart grew even stronger. He hurriedly said, ¡°Professor Lin, this way, please.¡± Under Qiu Junxiong¡¯s lead, the two of them walked to the second floor. Just as they left, Wang Jun happened to walk over. Wang Jun happened to see the backs of Lin Fan and Qiu Junxiong going upstairs. He muttered, ¡°Did Qiu Junxiong recruit another new student?¡± Obviously, Wang Jun did not recognize Lin Fan. ¡­ Laboratory 203. The two graduate students¡¯ fingers quickly jumped on the keyboard. The other two graduate students were adjusting the various circuits of the welding. Professor Liu Wei, whose hair was slightly white, stared at the computer screen and was deep in thought. At this moment, the laboratory door was pushed open. Qiu Junxiong said excitedly, ¡°Everyone, stop what you are doing for a while.¡± When everyone heard this, they could not help but turn around and look over. The graduate students were still confused. Liu Wei¡¯s expression changed suddenly, and he said excitedly, ¡°Are you Professor Lin?¡± One had to know¡­ Liu Wei was probably over 50 years old. Even Lin Fan was not used to being addressed so respectfully by someone in his 50s. Lin Fan coughed lightly and said, ¡°I am Lin Fan. But you don¡¯t have to be so polite.¡± After getting Lin Fan¡¯s approval, Liu Wei did not treat him as he was supposed to. On the contrary, he became even more excited and respectful. He took two steps forward and grabbed Lin Fan¡¯s right hand, ¡°Professor Lin, thank you for your invention of the carbon-based photolithographic machine. You¡¯ve saved Hua Nation from being suppressed by others.¡± Liu Wei¡¯s tone was very sincere. This was definitely from the bottom of his heart. He had been in Hua Nation¡¯s computer industry for more than ten years, and he knew very well how important chips were to the country. Now, the problem had been resolved! When Liu Wei learned that someone in Hua Nation had invented the carbon-based photolithographic machine, he was so happy that he almost cried. Now, he had seen the inventor of the carbon-based photolithographic machine with his own eyes. How could he not be excited? Compared to Liu Wei¡¯s excitement, the faces of the four graduate students were slowly filled with admiration. Lin Fan could be said to be a god-like existence in Hua Nation¡¯s computer science circle, especially in Jiangbei University¡¯s computer science department. Lin Fan rubbed his nose and looked at Liu Wei¡¯s employee badge. ¡°Professor Liu, I heard from Professor Qiu that you¡¯re researching a sensory device?¡± ¡°We started researching it last year,¡± Liu Wei said truthfully. ¡°At that time, we were actually hesitant. After all, even if the research was successful, we¡¯d need a chip with excellent performance to operate it. ¡°But there¡¯s no need to worry now! It¡¯s all because of the carbon-based chip that you invented, Professor Lin!¡± At this point, Liu Wei¡¯s emotions, which had just calmed down, became excited again. Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯m not sure about that. Can I take a look at your experiment?¡± Liu Wei did not hesitate at all and said directly, ¡°Of course!¡± Lin Fan was now a god-like existence in the computer circle. To be able to do experiments in front of him was something that he could not be happier about. How could he reject Lin Fan¡¯s request? ¡°Let¡¯s do an experiment on the latest research. I¡¯ll do it myself!¡± Qiu Junxiong said. ¡°I¡¯ll do the data!¡± Liu Wei said. The two professors took action personally. It was obvious that they placed great importance on this experiment. They wanted to show Lin Fan the most perfect side of the experiment. The strange-looking machine let out a low sound. On the computer screen, many complicated patterns, codes, and data gradually appeared. Although Qiu Junxiong and Liu Wei were older and their movements were a little slow, their operations were stable! Chapter 424 - 424 Guidance; Living in the Library? 424 Guidance; Living in the Library? Qiu Junxiong and Liu Wei did all the steps of the experiment in a stable manner. Normally, the experiment would normally take half an hour to complete, but it took an hour before it gradually came to an end. ¡°Professor Lin, what do you think needs to be improved?¡± Liu Wei asked. Qiu Junxiong and the graduate students all looked at Lin Fan with anticipation. They had been working on the body sensing equipment for more than a year. However, they encountered many difficulties. They were all looking forward to Lin Fan, who was like a god, being able to provide them with some help. However¡­ Lin Fan did not answer them immediately. Instead, he placed his attention on the system mission. [Mission: Watch a biology experiment (0/1) and a computer experiment (1/1). Read Nervous System Research, From Neuron to Brain, The Constitution of Neuron, Nervous Transmission, Animation, Mathematical Methods in 3D Games and Computer Images, and Game Program Patterns. Reward: Computer and biology experience increases by one level, gaming helmet, and its working principles.] He had completed one of the requirements! After a while, Lin Fan retracted his attention and said, ¡°Your experiment has inspired me. I¡¯ll go back and organize my thoughts first.¡± Without waiting for Qiu Junxiong and Liu Wei to speak, he turned around and walked out. Then, he went straight to Teaching Building No. 2. Most of the laboratories in the biology department were located here. Lin Fan had been here once. With his photographic memory, he was familiar with the entire building. He came to the laboratory door on the third floor and pushed it open. Professor Zheng Qian, Professor Wu, and a few other graduate students were studying something. After a long period of research, Zheng Qian¡¯s mouth was a little dry. She got up and was about to get some water to drink. The next moment, Zheng Qian was stunned. She said in surprise, ¡°Lin¡­ Professor Lin, when did you arrive?¡± As soon as she said this¡­ Wu Tian, who was originally doing experiments seriously, and a few graduate students all stopped what they were doing and looked toward the door. When they saw that it was Lin Fan, Wu Tian hurriedly went up to him. He bowed slightly and said excitedly, ¡°Professor Lin, the recovery drug you invented is amazing! ¡°Even though we¡¯ve studied the paper repeatedly, we still find many parts of it amazing!¡± The more Wu Tian spoke, the more excited he became. His old face, which had experienced some vicissitudes of life, became extremely red. Wu Tian continued, ¡°In fact, even following the steps in the thesis, some experiments are still difficult for us to complete¡­ Mr. Lin, can you give us some guidance?¡± At this point, Wu Tian¡¯s face was filled with anticipation. After Lin Fan published the paper Principles of the Human Islet Recovery Drug, Wu Tian and Zheng Qian became famous in the biology world. However, they did not become arrogant because of this. On the contrary, Wu Tian and Zheng Qian spent a lot of time researching the drug. In the outside world, many people thought that Wu Tian and Zheng Qian had done a lot of research on the drug. However, in fact, the knowledge they had was not much different from that of the biologists who studied glucose. This meant that even if they spent a lot of time, their progress might not be much faster than those biologists. When Lin Fan heard Wu Tian¡¯s words, his gaze changed. Guide an experiment? It should be considered as watching a biology experiment, right? Thinking of this, Lin Fan said, ¡°Okay, but my time is limited. I¡¯ll guide you in an experiment.¡± ¡°Thank you, Professor Lin!¡± Wu Tian said happily. The last time Lin Fan completed the system mission, he directly obtained the manufacturing principle of the drug. As for the various experiments involved, he naturally understood them very well. With Lin Fan¡¯s help, a complete biology experiment was completed in just 40 minutes. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is!¡± Wu Tian said in realization. ¡°No wonder we couldn¡¯t succeed before!¡± Zheng Qian and the other graduate students had a look of reminiscence on their faces. Lin Fan did not bother about it and focused on the system mission. [Mission: Watch a biological experiment (1/1) and a computer experiment (1/1). Read Nervous System Research, From Neuron to Brain, The Constitution of Neuron, Nervous Transmission, Animation, Mathematical Methods in 3D Games and Computer Images, and Game Program Patterns. Reward: Computer and biology experience increases by one level, gaming helmet, and its working principles.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up. As expected, even if he was just guiding the experiment, he could still complete the task. ¡°Professor Lin, thank you for your guidance.¡± Zheng Qian and a few other graduate students followed, ¡°Professor Lin, thank you for your guidance.¡± Lin Fan waved his hand. ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter. You guys can continue your research. I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± After saying that, he turned around and left. Then, Lin Fan strode into the library. After all, he only needed to read a few more books and he would soon be able to get a gaming helmet. At this moment, a clear voice rang out not far away. ¡°You¡¯re here?¡± Lin Fan looked in the direction of the voice. It was Lu Ling! Today, Lu Ling was wearing a long blue dress. Her quiet face, snow-white skin, and the books in her arms made her look extremely quiet and pure. Lin Fan could not help but feel weird. ¡°Yeah.¡± Almost every time he came to the library, he would meet Lu Lin. Why did it feel like she lived here? Finally, Lin Fan could not help but ask the question in his heart, ¡°You seem to always be in the library. Don¡¯t tell me you live here?¡± Lu Ling¡¯s snow-white face blushed slightly. Then, she said in a somewhat reproachful tone, ¡°I have no choice. When I heard that the famous Professor Lin Fan was recruiting students, I hurriedly sent an email, but I wasn¡¯t selected. ¡°So, I can only stay in the library, study hard, and continue my postgraduate studies.¡± When Lin Fan heard this, he could not help but reveal an awkward expression. ¡°You sent an email? I might not have noticed.¡± When he was recruiting students, Lin Fan received tens of thousands of emails. Therefore, he asked Lil White to pick ten students from each field who had the most potential and were the most outstanding. Lu Ling always had difficulty answering even simple questions. It was normal that she was not picked as one of the top ten physics students. Chapter 425 - 425 Gaming Helmet (1) 425 Gaming Helmet (1) Lu Ling looked at Lin Fan¡¯s awkward expression and rolled her eyes. She deliberately said in a pitiful tone, ¡°I was the first one to send you an email.¡± Then, she could not help but burst out laughing. ¡°I lied to you. I didn¡¯t send you an email.¡± After a pause, Lu Ling said, ¡°Oh right, what books are you looking for in the library this time?¡± Lin Fan coughed lightly and said, ¡°Nervous System Research, From Neuron to Brain, The Constitution of Neuron, Nervous Transmission, Animation, Mathematical Methods in 3D Games and Computer Images, and Game Program Patterns. Reward: Computer science experience increases by one level, gaming helmet, and working principles.¡± ¡°Nervous Transmission, Animation, Game Program Patterns? What do you want to study?¡± Lu Ling was a little puzzled. ¡°A sensory game?¡± She had done some research on these things and quickly made a guess. ¡°You can say that,¡± said Lin Fan. Lu Ling¡¯s interest was immediately piqued. Her eyes turned into crescents as she said happily, ¡°That¡¯s great! I hope you can invent it as soon as possible!¡± Obviously, she was very interested in games. Lin Fan said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it won¡¯t take long.¡± The two of them walked forward as they talked. They passed through the language section, the mathematics section, the chemistry section¡­ They went to the medical neurology category and found Nervous System Research, From Neuron to Brain, The Constitution of Neuron, and Nervous Transmission. Then, the two went to the animation and game programming bookshelf and found Animation, Mathematical Methods in 3D Games and Computer Images, and Game Program Patterns. After that, they each carried a few thick books and sat down in their usual seats. Lin Fan did not hesitate too much. He opened a book and flipped through it quickly. In just two minutes, he had finished flipping through the hundreds of pages of the book. This scene¡­ Liu Qianqian, who was walking into the library, saw everything. She had wanted to ask Lin Fan to give her some guidance. However, she quickly shut her mouth and revealed a thoughtful look. ¡­ After more than 20 minutes, Lin Fan finished reading the last book¡ªGame Program Patterns. Lin Fan had just put down his book when a crisp voice rang out in his mind. [Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission. Watch a biology experiment (1/1) and a computer experiment (1/1). Read Nervous System Research, From Neuron to Brain, The Constitution of Neuron, Nervous Transmission, Animation, Mathematical Methods in 3D Games and Computer Images, and Game Program Patterns. Reward: Computer and biology experience increases by one level, gaming helmet, and working principles.] [Ding! Upgrade successful!

Then, the principle of creating the gaming helmet appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Do you wish to extract the gaming helmet?] Mission accomplished! He could use the gaming helmet immediately! Even Lin Fan could not help but feel excited. He stood up and said, ¡°I have something to do, so I¡¯ll leave first.¡± After saying that, he strode out. He could not wait to retrieve the gaming helmet and play with it. Lu Ling opened her mouth and was about to say something. However, looking at how anxious Lin Fan was, he could only swallow his words. She looked at the draft paper on the table and muttered, ¡°Anyway¡­ This time, there¡¯s only one question that I can¡¯t answer. I¡¯ll save it for next time.¡± ¡­ Lin Fan did not choose to go to the office. Instead, he drove the Cullinan back to the Coiling Dragon Villa. [Do you wish to extract the gaming helmet?] ¡°Yes!¡± In the next moment, a helmet made of metal appeared in front of him. This¡­ was the gaming helmet! Lin Fan looked at the helmet curiously. Then, he put it on his head. The gaming helmet was made of metal on the outside, but the inside was very soft and comfortable. It also had excellent soundproofing properties. Lin Fan placed the carbon-based chip into a backup phone. Then, he upgraded the phone¡¯s program on the computer. About half an hour later, everything was ready. Lin Fan muttered, ¡°I have the equipment. Now, I need to design a game.¡± Thinking of this¡­ Lin Fan could not help but feel a headache. Even though he had Academician Computer Experience and mastered the production and working principles of the gaming helmet, it was extremely troublesome for him to design a game by himself. Without a few days or even dozens of days of hard work, it would probably be impossible to complete. Lin Fan sighed and said, ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll apply for a patent and publish a thesis first.¡± Even though Lin Fan had endless wealth, he was not sloppy when it came to applying for patents for inventions. Otherwise, when his inventions were circulated to the market, the patents would be registered by others. That would put him in an extremely passive position. As for publishing a thesis¡­ It was almost a habit of Lin Fan¡¯s. Chapter 426 - 426 Gaming Helmet (2) 426 Gaming Helmet (2) ¡°Lil White!¡± ¡°I¡¯m here, Master!¡± The super smart watch on his wrist made a crisp sound. ¡°Help me register a patent for the gaming helmet and write a thesis on it,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright, Master,¡± said Lil White. Then, the super smart watch shot out a red light. About ten minutes later, patent documents from countries all over the world appeared on the display of the super smart watch. ¡°Master, the patent for the gaming helmet has been registered. ¡°Also, the thesis on the gaming helmet has been sent to your email.¡± As soon as Lil White finished speaking, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. An email popped up. It was titled ¡®Principles and Future of Gaming Helmets,¡¯ which Lil White had just edited. Lin Fan glanced around and said, ¡°Lil White, not bad! The first author will be me, and the second authors will be Qiu Junxiong, Liu Wei, Wu Tian, and Zheng Qian.¡± ¡°Then, send the thesis to¡­ Nature¡¯s editorial department. They should review it as quickly as possible.¡± ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Lil White said. Suddenly, Lin Fan, Qiu Junxiong, Liu Wei, Wu Tian, and Zheng Qian¡¯s names appeared out of thin air in the thesis. Then, Lil White sent it directly to Nature¡¯s editorial department. Suddenly, Lin Fan thought of something and asked, ¡°Lil White, can you develop a game that suits the gaming helmet?¡± ¡°Sure,¡± Lil White said. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Lin Fan said happily. After all, he was very interested in the gaming helmet. However, he had a headache because he needed to design a game. This feeling was like having a treasure mountain, but there was an incomparably long and rugged mountain road ahead. Lil White was able to help with the design. It was like adding a ropeway to a long, rugged mountain road! It was so convenient! ¡°What kind of game do you want, Master?¡± asked Lil White. ¡°Adventure category!¡± Lin Fan replied without hesitation. ¡°Alright, Master.¡± Lil White said. About ten minutes later¡­ Lil White said, ¡°Master, a game has been installed on your spare phone. It¡¯s called World.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Fan said happily. The game was installed, and he could enter the game immediately! Lin Fan quickly picked up his spare phone. Indeed, there was an unfamiliar icon with the word ¡®World¡¯ on it. Then, Lin Fan lay down on the bed and connected the gaming helmet to his backup phone. At this moment, a crisp notification sounded out in Lin Fan¡¯s ear. ¡°Do you wish to activate the gaming helmet?¡± ¡°Activate!¡± Lin Fan said. Hiss! Lin Fan felt his neck tighten. The next moment, Lin Fan¡¯s vision turned dark. A crisp sound rang out in his ears again. ¡°Welcome to the gaming helmet.¡± Then, a row of floating characters appeared in front of Lin Fan. ¡°Enter World?¡± Lin Fan did not hesitate at all and said, ¡°Yes!¡± In the next moment¡­ A patch of green grassland appeared in front of Lin Fan. A gust of wind blew. He could feel the cool breeze and the touch of the grass. When Lin Fan raised his head, he could see sparrows flying across the sky and the warm sun hanging in the air. All of this¡­ Everything was so real. In fact, Lin Fan had a strange feeling. It was as if he was not in the game at all but had entered a real world. Lin Fan walked into the distance slowly. Before long, a sea of flowers appeared in front of them. Red, blue, purple¡­ It was very beautiful. The air was filled with a rich fragrance. At this moment, a long snake with patterns all over its body suddenly darted out from the sea of flowers. It spat out venom and quickly slithered toward Lin Fan. When Lin Fan saw this, he hurriedly retreated. However, the more he retreated, the more the snake closed in. In the next moment¡­ The snake sped up and bared its sharp teeth, wanting to bite Lin Fan¡¯s calf. Lin Fan quickly dodged. If this were the outside world, Lin Fan would have become a superhuman existence after consuming the Constitution Enhancement Potion multiple times. With his speed and strength, he could easily take care of the snake. However, in the virtual world.. His strength and speed were only on par with ordinary people. It was really difficult to dodge the long snake. In fact, Lin Fan was bitten by a long snake in the calf. A piercing pain assaulted his heart. Immediately after, his entire body felt numb. After a while, the world in front of him suddenly shattered. ¡°You died. Game over.¡± A crisp voice rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. He entered the game and was bitten to death by a snake in the blink of an eye? Lin Fan could not help but reveal an awkward look. ¡°Do you wish to re-enter the game?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± In the next moment, Lin Fan appeared once again on the boundless plains. This time, he did not move forward immediately. Instead, he found a suitable wooden stick and two stones. Then, he continued to walk toward the flowers. As expected, the long snake appeared again. Lin Fan grinned. ¡°Good!¡± Then, he raised the stick and slapped the long snake. When the long snake was on its last breath, he did not forget to smash it with a stone, completely ending its life. At this moment, a faint light flashed in the snake¡¯s head that had been smashed into meat paste. ¡°The Spirit Wind Pill is a mysterious spiritual energy within the Spirit Snake¡¯s body. After consumption, it can increase speed by ten points!¡± A notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. Seeing this¡­ Only then did Lin Fan reveal a look of realization. No wonder this snake moved so fast. It turned out that there was such a thing inside its body. Kill monsters and steal treasures? This game seemed to be quite interesting. As Lin Fan thought about this, he slowly lowered his head and picked up the Spirit Wind Pill. Although the Spirit Wind Pill was inside the snake¡¯s body, there was not a trace of blood or stench on it. There was still a faint glow on its surface. Lin Fan did not hesitate and put it into his mouth. The moment the Spirit Wind Pill entered his mouth, his entire body felt a slight chill. Then, Lin Fan walked over quickly. His speed was obviously much faster. This made Lin Fan even more interested in the game. He continued forward and arrived at a dense forest. Among them, there were a few crystal clear fruits on one of the trees. Curious, Lin Fan plucked a fruit and put it into his mouth. It was juicy, sweet, and delicious. Lin Fan could not help but praise, ¡°I didn¡¯t think that my taste buds would work in the game.¡± When he finished eating the fruit, a crisp notification sounded in his mind. [Consuming an Energy Fruit will increase strength by ten points.] As expected, Lin Fan could feel a surge of energy within his body. He looked at the remaining fruits above his head, and his eyes lit up completely. Without any hesitation, he picked another fruit and put it into his mouth. Sweet and crisp! Delicious! At the same time, his strength increased once again! When Lin Fan plucked another fruit and was halfway through eating, an ape suddenly jumped down from the tree. It bared its teeth and roared continuously. When he saw the remaining half of the fruit in Lin Fan¡¯s hand, he seemed to be completely furious. He raised his hand and slapped Lin Fan¡¯s head. Luckily, Lin Fan had taken the Spirit Wind Pill, so his speed had increased by quite a bit. Finally, he successfully dodged the ape¡¯s attack. However, the ape did not give up. It continued to attack. Lin Fan dodged a few times and knew that continuing was not the way. He took out the stone he had prepared and found an opportunity to hit the ape¡¯s head. After eating two energy fruits, Lin Fan¡¯s strength was not bad either. The stone smashed down, directly hitting the ape until it took two steps back. Lin Fan understood that the ape was not invincible, so he smacked its head again. Fast, accurate, ruthless! Two consecutive smacks directly scared away the ape. Meanwhile, Lin Fan continued to eat the Energy Fruits and played the game happily. ¡­ Lin Fan was happy, but some people were the complete opposite. Chapter 427 - 427 Debate; Another Contribution! 427 Debate; Another Contribution! It was midnight in America. The editor of Nature, Esmond Bevan, was sleeping soundly. At this moment, the phone beside his bed suddenly rang, waking him up. Generally speaking¡­ It was very annoying to be woken up by a phone call in the middle of the night. However, not only was Esmond Bevan not angry, but his face even showed a touch of excitement. He did not answer the call immediately. Instead, he quickly went to the study and turned on his computer. Unfortunately, he did not see what he wanted to see. He had no choice but to return to his bed and continue sleeping. As Asmond Bevan fell asleep, the phone next to him rang again. He got up excitedly again. When he came to the computer, an email popped up. ¡°There¡¯s mail! Haha! It wasn¡¯t in vain for me to wait every night!¡± Esmond Bevan shouted excitedly. Waiting every night? That was right. He had been waiting every night! Ever since he was woken up by a phone call and received Lin Fan¡¯s email, he had been waiting for Lin Fan¡¯s email every night. This was because it was related to whether he could get a promotion and a raise in the editorial department of Nature. However, he soon frowned slightly. ¡°The Principles and Future of Gaming Helmets? What is this? It seems like¡­ I got happy over nothing again,¡± Esmond Bevan said helplessly. Although he said that, he still glanced at the author¡¯s name. It was this glance that made his depressed gaze light up. He jumped up in excitement. ¡°Lin Fan! It¡¯s Hua Nation¡¯s Lin Fan! ¡°Hahaha, I finally got his thesis again! ¡°The Principles and Future of Gaming Helmets? This is absolutely extraordinary!¡± Esmond Bevan read the thesis carefully from beginning to end. He was reading the thesis with anticipation and seriousness. As he read deeper into the thesis, his eyes gradually widened, and his face revealed an unconcealable excitement. ¡°This¡­ This¡­ It enters the game! ¡°My god! ¡°This is unbelievable! ¡°I need to hurry up and tell the managing editor, yes!¡± As he spoke, he quickly picked up his phone and dialed a number. Then¡­ Many white-haired computer experts gathered at Hemp Rope Technology University. They either dripped eye drops or washed their faces with cold water¡­ Those were the only ways to keep themselves awake. Only then could they focus all their attention on the thesis in front of them. ¡°Gaming helmets?¡± ¡°They allow one¡¯s nerves to connect to the game world!¡± ¡°Connecting to the game world?¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Among these people, there was no lack of big names who had won various awards in the computer field, including the Turing Award. They had the most advanced computer technology and had forward-thinking¡­ Even so¡­ They looked at the data and introduction in the thesis and could not help but be dumbfounded. The journal staff of Nature asked, ¡°Professors, do you think there¡¯s a problem with these data?¡± After all, when he showed them Lin Fan¡¯s research papers in the past, they were filled with admiration! This time, their reactions were clearly different. Charles, who was wearing a golden pocket watch, said, ¡°It¡¯s not that there¡¯s a problem, but it involves the nervous system of the human body. We can¡¯t understand it at all. We need a biologist to come over.¡± Some of the big names at the side nodded in agreement. Although they had studied some biology during their higher education, that was only very shallow learning. The journal staff suddenly said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the biologists will be here soon.¡± As if to verify his words, another large group of middle-aged and elderly people who looked full of wisdom walked in quickly. ¡°Where is Professor Lin¡¯s thesis?¡± ¡°Let me see.¡± Ever since Lin Fan invented the human islet recovery drug, he had become a leader in the field of biology, chemistry, and medicine. When the biologists heard that Lin Fan had published another research paper on the human body, they all rushed over without any hesitation. They could not wait to read the thesis. Soon, someone sighed. ¡°Professor Lin actually found the frequency of the nervous system!¡± ¡°Amazing! It¡¯s simply too powerful! That¡¯s right, the human nervous system is equivalent to a circuit. The gaming helmet receives the simulated signal and then forms an image in the mind!¡± ¡°The electrical signals allow the human body to have special senses like smell, sight, taste, and even touch! Heavens, as expected of Professor Lin!¡± ¡­ The computer experts at the side also joined in the discussion. ¡°You mean¡­ the thesis is correct?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s correct or not, but it¡¯s possible to achieve it in the nervous system. Of course, we still need strict experiments to see if it¡¯s correct or not.¡± Time passed quickly amidst the praises, quarrels, and experiments. In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. ¡­ At this time, in the Foreign Chip Alliance. The president and the vice presidents of all four regions were gathered together. They were drinking red wine and eating steak as usual, extremely indifferent. At this moment, a man in a suit and leather shoes hurriedly ran over. The president could not help but put down the knife and fork in his hand. He frowned slightly and said, ¡°Jack, I¡¯ve told you many times not to panic when you encounter something. Everything can be solved slowly. The sky won¡¯t fall!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± the vice president of the western region echoed. ¡°Just like the carbon-based photolithographic machine and carbon-based chips invented by Hua Nation last time. So what if they¡¯re powerful? ¡°Our silicon-based chips are enough for all mobile applications today. In addition, the carbon-based chips and carbon-based photolithographic machines will pollute the environment and affect the body!¡± When the president heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smug expression. He was the one who came up with the idea that claiming carbon-based chips would pollute the environment and affect the body. They had used the media¡¯s crazy bombardment to achieve great results. Nowadays, many foreign countries had already boycotted carbon-based chips. This meant that their silicon-based chips still had the largest market. So what if carbon-based chips had good performance? If they were not used in the overseas market, it would not affect them at all. The vice president of the western region noticed the smile on the president¡¯s face. ¡°Jack, don¡¯t be anxious. Sit down and eat some steak and drink some red wine.¡± Jack had no choice but to eat a piece of steak and drink a glass of red wine. The president nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Jack, why are you in such a hurry? Is there something you want to tell us?¡± Jack took a deep breath and said seriously, ¡°Dear presidents, Professor Lin has submitted another paper to Nature!¡± Chapter 428 - 428 Its Over; Reminder! 428 It¡¯s Over; Reminder! The knife and fork in the president¡¯s hand fell onto the table. He did not know what kind of thesis Lin Fan had submitted to Nature. However, just hearing this, the president¡¯s heart inexplicably tightened. Ever since Lin Fan invented the carbon-based chip, the president had conducted an in-depth investigation and research on him. Lin Fan solved a few unsolved math questions, invented the earthquake prediction device, the human islet recovery drug, the super battery, and so on. Lin Fan¡­ was definitely an existence with extremely high intelligence that could create miracles. If he interfered with the chip again, then the consequences¡­ were absolutely terrible! The vice president of the western region was obviously very wary of Lin Fan. He asked, ¡°What thesis did Professor Lin submit to Nature?¡± ¡°The Principles and Future of Gaming Helmets!¡± ¡°The Principles and Future of Gaming Helmets?¡± The leaders looked at each other in confusion. Gaming helmets? They had some vague guesses. However, the Foreign Chip Alliance only cared about chips. As for gaming helmets, they were not interested. ¡°According to Hemp Rope Technology University, this gaming helmet has a special function that allows people to enter the game world with their consciousness¡­¡± Jack continued. ¡°In addition, operating this helmet requires a very high chip performance. Perhaps, a carbon-based chip must be used to operate it successfully!¡± The cups, knives, and forks in the hands of the leaders fell to the ground. Their faces turned pale. They knew very well how attractive this gaming helmet that could enter games was to foreigners! In the face of carbon-based chips with better performance, the president and vice presidents managed to make ordinary people who did not know the truth refuse to use carbon-based chips and continue to use silicon-based chips through the media and internet trolls on the grounds of environmental protection and health! Once the gaming helmet appeared, however¡­ In the eyes of foreigners, what did all that matter? Were environmental protection and health more important than entering the game world? Absolutely not! It was over! The Foreign Chip Alliance was completely finished! ¡­ Jiangbei University. Even though Lin Fan had not come to the office for the past two days, Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Jiang Chaoqun, and Hao Zhiwu still went to school on time and took the initiative to learn with an extremely serious attitude. However¡­ Xia Bing and Xia Xue often unconsciously looked at the empty desk in front of them, and a trace of longing appeared on their pretty faces. Liu Qianqian saw all of this. When the school bell rang, Liu Qianqian took the initiative to walk to the dormitory with Xia Bing and Xia Xue. ¡°Xia Bing, Xia Xue, you two look exactly the same. Are you twins?¡± Liu Qianqian asked. Xia Bing and Xia Xue said in unison, ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°So, it¡¯s true!¡± Liu Qianqian was pleasantly surprised. ¡°I heard that twins think the same way. Are you two the same?¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue said, ¡°Most of the time, yes.¡± ¡°Are the people and things you like the same?¡± Liu Qianqian continued. Xia Bing and Xia Xue nodded slowly. ¡°Do you like Professor Lin Fan?¡± Liu Qianqian asked. Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s pretty faces instantly turned red. They hurriedly lowered their heads, wishing they could bury their heads in the ground. Liu Qianqian immediately knew the answer when she saw them like this. She thought about it and said, ¡°Professor Lin Fan is proficient in mathematics, logistics, biology, chemistry, computer science, and so on. He does have a strong charm! ¡°But I think it¡¯s best for you to distinguish between liking and worshipping.¡± Liu Qianqian saw that the two of them still had no reaction and hesitated for a moment. ¡°A few days ago, I was in the library. I saw Professor Lin Fan sitting together with a woman, talking and laughing. Moreover, Professor Lin Fan was a mess in front of her, flipping through books randomly.¡± Obviously, Liu Qianqian was talking about Lin Fan and Lu Ling reading together. Lu Ling had scolded Lin Fan for not choosing her as a student, but in Liu Qianqian¡¯s eyes, they were talking and laughing. Lin Fan used his scanning ability to read, but in Liu Qianqian¡¯s eyes, he was just flipping through books randomly. Liu Qianqian felt that she had made it obvious enough. However, Xia Bing and Xia Xue still did not seem to have any reaction. Liu Qianqian could not help but say again, ¡°I think Professor Lin Fan might have a girlfriend.¡± After getting along with them for a few days, Liu Qianqian felt that Xia Bing and Xia Xue were kind and nice. In terms of love affairs, Liu Qianqian thought that she was experienced. She knew very well how painful it was to find out the person one liked had a partner. Therefore, she had to pull Xia Bing and Xia Xue over in time before they fell too deep. However¡­ Xia Bing and Xia Xue still had their heads lowered. Their pretty faces were red, and they did not have much of a reaction. Liu Qianqian thought they did not hear her. Therefore, she said again, ¡°Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Professor Lin Fan probably has a girlfriend.¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue raised their heads and said, ¡°Huh? We know.¡± Liu Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief. At this time, Xia Bing and Xia Xue said, ¡°We¡¯re also Lin Fan¡¯s¡­ girlfriends.¡± Liu Qianqian was speechless. ¡­ Regarding Nature, the Foreign Chip Alliance, and what happened at Jiangbei University, Lin Fan had no idea about them. Other than eating, drinking, and sleeping, he had been completely immersed in World. In World, he roamed freely, killing monsters and admiring the beautiful scenery. This was an unprecedented novelty. Of course, this novelty did not last forever. For example, right now, Lin Fan was slowly regaining his composure. He called the two-star Michelin restaurant. Not long after¡­ Top-grade abalone, M9 beef, sea urchin eggs, king crab, and so on were delicately made and sent over. As Lin Fan ate, he commented, ¡°Although the food in the game has some taste, it¡¯s still different from real food. ¡°The delicacies in reality have a special feeling of filling the stomach and lasting for a long time. In the game, only when you eat do you have that kind of feeling.¡± When all the food on the table was finished, Lin Fan burped. ¡°By the way, I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve signed in today, right?¡± Lin Fan muttered to himself and focused on the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,000,000 yuan.] Lin Fan pursed his lips and said, ¡°Why is it this again?¡± At this moment, the phone next to him rang urgently. Lin Fan looked at the caller ID. It was Feng Zhixiang from the Institute of Science. Chapter 429 - 429 Shock; Cooperation! (1) 429 Shock; Cooperation! (1) Lin Fan and Feng Zhixiang had interacted many times. He had a good impression of this old man who worked hard for the country¡¯s scientific and technological development. Therefore, without much hesitation, he pressed the answer button. ¡°Professor Lin, you submitted Principles and Future of Gaming Helmets to Nature?¡± Feng Zhixiang¡¯s urgent voice sounded as soon as the call was connected. ¡°Yeah,¡± Lin Fan said slowly. ¡°Gaming helmets¡­ can they really be made?¡± Feng Zhixiang asked nervously. Lin Fan said, ¡°Sure, I¡¯ve been playing with one for a few days.¡± ¡°Playing¡­ How many days have you been playing?¡± Feng Zhixiang stuttered. Then, he asked in disbelief, ¡°You mean¡­¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve already invented it.¡± ¡°Good, good, haha! That¡¯s great!¡± Feng Zhixiang laughed happily. ¡°Professor Lin, where are you? I¡¯ll be right there!¡± ¡°Coiling Dragon Villa. You¡¯ve been here before. Do you still remember the location?¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°I remember, I remember. I¡¯ll be right there!¡± Feng Zhixiang said. Then, Lin Fan heard the sound of a collision from the phone. ¡°I¡¯ll take full responsibility. I¡¯ll compensate you for your car now¡­¡± Lin Fan slowly placed his phone down and muttered, ¡°Feng Zhixiang¡­ got into a car crash? He shouldn¡¯t be so agitated at his age!¡± Lin Fan shook his head and returned to his room. He put on the gaming helmet and entered World game again. In the game, Lin Fan was riding a white horse. He welcomed the breeze and galloped on the green grassland. At this moment, a huge claw suddenly stretched out from the ground in the distance. Lin Fan¡¯s expression was calm as he pulled out the blade from his waist and swung it fiercely. The claw broke. At the same time, a golden pearl of light appeared on the ground. This was the treasure that appeared after killing the monster. However, Lin Fan did not care at all. Instead, he continued to ride his horse forward. This was because he had experienced too many things like killing monsters and obtaining treasures in the past few days. There were some things that he did not even bother to pick up. ¡­ When Lin Fan took off his gaming helmet, it was already a few hours later. He got up from the bed and stretched. At this moment, the doorbell rang urgently. Hearing this, Lin Fan came to the front of the door and slowly opened it. ¡°Professor Lin, so you¡¯re really home?¡± Feng Zhixiang said excitedly. At this moment, he was covered in sweat and looked rather disheveled. Lin Fan was stunned. ¡°When did you arrive?¡± ¡°About two hours,¡± Feng Zhixiang said. Lin Fan could not help but reveal an awkward look. He thought that Feng Zhixiang would only come in the afternoon. Who would have thought that he would come so quickly? Two hours? In other words, he had been standing outside for two hours? It had been a long time. Lin Fan said, ¡°Come in and drink some water.¡± Feng Zhixiang waved his hand and said, ¡°No need¡­ Where¡¯s the gaming helmet you mentioned just now?¡± ¡°In the bedroom,¡± said Lin Fan. Thus, the two of them went to the bedroom together. Feng Zhixiang held the metal helmet and asked, ¡°This¡­ is the gaming helmet?¡± Lin Fan nodded. Feng Zhixiang was even more excited. He could not help but carefully examine the gaming helmet. Then, he asked, ¡°Can I try?¡± Lin Fan nodded and helped Feng Zhixiang put it on his head. Feng Zhixiang only felt the back of his neck tighten slightly. In the next moment¡­ He appeared on the beach. In the distance, there were surging waves. He raised his head¡­ he could see the scorching sun. Feng Zhixiang stuttered, ¡°This¡­ This¡­ Weren¡¯t I in the Coiling Dragon Villa just now, trying out the gaming helmet? ¡°Am I dreaming?¡± At this moment, a large crab suddenly crawled over to Feng Zhixiang¡¯s feet and pinched his toes. ¡°Ah! ¡°It hurts! ¡°I actually feel pain! This is not a dream!¡± Then, Feng Zhixiang held up the seawater and put it into his mouth. ¡°Salty!¡± ¡­ About ten minutes later, Feng Zhixiang took off his gaming helmet. His face was full of surprise as he sighed sincerely. ¡°Unbelievable, this is too unbelievable! ¡°After I put on the gaming helmet, I even thought that I had transmigrated!¡± As he spoke, Feng Zhixiang could not help but hug the gaming helmet tightly. It was as if he was holding a supreme treasure. Supreme treasure? In Feng Zhixiang¡¯s heart, this was much more precious than countless supreme treasures! It was because Feng Zhixiang understood that this gaming helmet was definitely a revolutionary invention! It would definitely cause the entire world to shake again! ¡°Professor Lin, can you let us study this helmet?¡± asked Feng Zhixiang. Lin Fan was not surprised by such a request. He nodded and said, ¡°Sure.¡± ¡°Thank you, Professor Lin. I¡¯ll come back in two days to borrow your gaming helmet!¡± Feng Zhixiang said excitedly. Lin Fan could not help but ask, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to Jingbei now?¡± After all, every time he studied something in the past, he had to bring it to the capital immediately. ¡°No need,¡± Feng Zhixiang said with a smile. ¡°A while ago, we applied for a scientific research institute in Jiangbei. In the next two days, some academicians and various equipment will be shipped over.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head. Feng Zhixiang said, ¡°Oh, right. Professor Lin, are you planning to cooperate with Dahua Group to produce the gaming helmet?¡± Chapter 430 - 430 Shock; Cooperation! (2) 430 Shock; Cooperation! (2) Lin Fan said, ¡°It should be. Is there a problem?¡± ¡°No problem, no problem!¡± Feng Zhixiang hurriedly said. ¡°A while ago, we just approved a few plots of land for Dahua Group. Now, it seems that those plots of land aren¡¯t enough. Later, I¡¯ll report to the higher-ups and give Dahua some approval.¡± The two of them continued to chat for a while before Feng Zhixiang left with a smile on his face. Lin Fan sat on the sofa and casually scrolled through his phone. After a while, he muttered, ¡°Studying gaming helmets? Looks like I have to make a few more game helmets as soon as possible¡­¡± Thinking of this, Lin Fan dialed the number of the CEO of Dahua Group, Ran Fei. ¡­ At this moment, in the chairman¡¯s office of Dahua Group. Ran Fei sat in front of the computer and flipped through the documents seriously. After a long while, he sighed and said, ¡°The carbon-based chip technology has already reached an absolute leading level. However, the market has not accepted it at all. ¡°The cost of carbon-based chips isn¡¯t high, but it¡¯s still a little higher than silicon-based chips. ¡°And silicon-based chips are already enough for daily needs¡­ ¡°What should we do? ¡°If only there were some functions that require carbon-based chips, but it¡¯s too difficult!¡± Ran Fei sighed again. The carbon-based chips were good, but no one cared about them. It had to be said that this was indeed a very uncomfortable matter. At this moment, there was a dull knock on the door. A man wearing golden glasses rushed in with a document in his hand. ¡°Director Liu, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Ran Fei asked. Director Liu said excitedly, ¡°Nature! The latest issue of Nature published a thesis titled Principles and Future of Gaming Helmets!¡± ¡°Gaming helmets?¡± Ran Fei was puzzled. ¡°Dahua Group isn¡¯t involved in the gaming industry.¡± He came from a technical background and only wanted to lead the company in researching and developing technology. Therefore, even when Ran Fei had enough manpower and financial resources, he never considered getting involved in extremely profitable fields such as games, real estate, cars, and other industries. The company had stuck with the same general direction over the years. Ran Fei felt that Director Liu, who had been with him for many years, should know. Director Liu said, ¡°This gaming helmet is different. According to the thesis, it can bring a person¡¯s consciousness into the gaming world! ¡°In addition, the gaming helmet requires an ultra-high-performance chip to operate!¡± As soon as he said this, Ran Fei immediately understood what the game helmet meant. Considering this gaming helmet could make a person¡¯s consciousness enter the game world, it would definitely make people go crazy. This gaming helmet would become popular all over the world! Would it not mean that carbon-based chips could be put to good use? This was good news! This was definitely great news! Ran Fei was about to laugh excitedly¡­ At this moment, the phone on the table rang. Originally, Ran Fei wanted to reject it. He only had the gaming helmet in his mind. He wanted to hear more about the gaming helmet. However, when he saw that the caller ID was Lin Fan, he could not help but press the answer button. After all, Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder of the Dahua Group. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. May I know why you¡¯re calling?¡± Ran Fei was someone who did not like to beat about the bush. Moreover, his entire heart was focused on the gaming helmet. Therefore, he went straight to the point. Lin Fan said, ¡°Oh, I invented a gaming helmet, and I wanted to ask if you wanted to collaborate to produce it.¡± When Ran Fei heard this, he was stunned. His mouth was half-open, and he was completely motionless. Lin Fan invented a gaming helmet? The person who Director Liu just mentioned was Lin Fan? He was the one who wrote the thesis on gaming helmets? That was right! Lin Fan was in the computer field, biology field, and physics field¡­ He was definitely a big shot! In this world, who else could compare to Lin Fan¡­ This time, he invented a piece of high-tech equipment that could allow one¡¯s consciousness to enter the game world. Why did Ran Fei not think of it earlier? Lin Fan saw that no one answered and continued, ¡°Chairman Ran, are you not interested in this? If so¡­?¡± Ran Fei did not wait for Lin Fan to finish and quickly said, ¡°I¡¯m interested, I¡¯m interested! I¡¯m coming to Jiangbei now!¡± After hanging up, Ran Fei called his secretary and said, ¡°Help me book the earliest flight to Jiangbei!¡± Then, he quickly packed his things and prepared to walk out. ¡°Huh? Director Liu, are you still here?¡± Director Liu¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. ¡®I¡¯ve always been here!¡¯ However, he still said in a very gentle voice, ¡°Yeah¡­ Chairman Ran, do you have something urgent to deal with?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Ran Fei thought about it and said, ¡°Forget it. Come with me. We¡¯ll go to Jiangbei and talk about a collaboration with Professor Lin Fan!¡± Discuss a collaboration with Professor Lin Fan! Meet Professor Lin Fan! Director Liu¡¯s heart raced. He was a technician! Lin Fan, who invented carbon-based photolithographic machines, super batteries, and other products, was his idol! Now, he could see his idol! It was as if he was making a pilgrimage! How could his heart not beat faster? Director Liu hurriedly said, ¡°Alright!¡± ¡­ About three hours later, Ran Fei and Director Liu arrived in Jiangbei. Ran Fei wanted to discuss the matter of the gaming helmet as soon as possible. On the other hand, Director Liu wanted to see his idol as soon as possible! Therefore, they did not take a break. As soon as they got off the plane, they headed straight for the Coiling Dragon Villa. At this moment, Lin Fan was sipping on Spirit Tea. He heard the doorbell ring and slowly opened the door. ¡°Mr. Lin, we finally meet again,¡± Ran Fei greeted him with a smile. ¡°This is Liu Dazhi, the technical director of our Dahua Group.¡± Liu Dazhi quickly said in a somewhat nervous tone, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Liu Dazhi was 42 years old and was the technical director of Dahua Group. He had seen many important figures and attended many high-level meetings. At this moment, facing a young man who was only in his 20s, he was actually nervous! If outsiders knew about this, who knew what kind of expression they would have? However, Lin Fan did not mind it too much. He nodded his head calmly and said, ¡°Come in.¡± When the two of them walked in, they were immediately attracted by the fragrance of Spirit Tea. It was a refreshing smell. Seeing the two of them staring at the Spirit Tea, Lin Fan could not help but say, ¡°You guys should be thirsty, right? Sit down and have a cup of tea.¡± He also knew that Ran Fei and Liu Dazhi had specially rushed over from Peng City. Giving them some tea was also the right way to treat guests. Following that, Lin Fan poured two cups of Spirit Tea and placed them in front of them. The refreshing fragrance became even stronger, causing Ran Fei and Liu Dazhi to instinctively pick up the teacups and pour the contents into their mouths. As soon as the Spirit Tea entered their mouths, their bodies and souls seemed to be cleansed in an instant. They had spent more than three hours rushing from Peng City to Jiangbei, yet their fatigue had completely disappeared at this moment. What replaced it was an unprecedented sense of ease and freedom! Ran Fei and Liu Dazhi were both intoxicated by the tea and could not extricate themselves. At this moment, Lin Fan asked, ¡°Do you want to take a look at the gaming helmet?¡± When Ran Fei heard Lin Fan¡¯s words, he finally reacted and stuttered, ¡°Ah¡­ Alright, alright.¡± Even though he responded like this, his eyes could not help but look at the Spirit Tea in front of him. Lin Fan said, ¡°If you want more, then pour it yourself.¡± Ran Fei waved his hand and said, ¡°No, no. Let¡¯s look at the game helmet first.¡± What if Lin Fan thought that he was just enjoying himself and did not care about the gaming helmet? Lin Fan did not think too much about it and said, ¡°Alright, the gaming helmet is inside.¡± As he spoke, he got up and walked toward the bedroom. As for Ran Fei and Liu Dazhi, who obviously wanted to continue drinking Spirit Tea, Lin Fan left them be. Earlier, he had personally poured them a cup of Spirit Tea. If they wanted to continue drinking it, they should pour some themselves! Of course, he could not pour tea for them all the time. Chapter 431 - 431 Explanation; Something Happened! (1) 431 Explanation; Something Happened! (1) After Ran Fei and Liu Dazhi tried out the gaming helmet with Lin Fan¡¯s help, the two of them opened their mouths wide and were dumbfounded. After a while, they sighed. ¡°Heavens!¡± ¡°This helmet¡­ could it be that it brought us through time?¡± ¡°It¡¯s exactly the same as the real world!¡± ¡°Unbelievable! This is unbelievable!¡± ¡°Really¡­ It¡¯s a god-like experience!¡± Liu Dazhi had already read the thesis and explained the functions of the gaming helmet to Ran Fei. They had a certain understanding and expectations of the gaming helmet. However, they had never expected that it could be done to this extent. ¡­ Lin Fan had already seen how Feng Zhixiang reacted when he wore the gaming helmet. At this moment, he was already used to it. Therefore, it was not too surprising. After Ran Fei and Liu Dazhi were tired from playing, Lin Fan said, ¡°Chairman Ran, how is it? Do you want to collaborate to produce the gaming helmet?¡± When Ran Fei found out about the functions of the gaming helmet, he had already decided to work with Lin Fan. Now, after experiencing it for himself, he was even more determined about this idea. ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Ran Fei said after a pause, ¡°Mr. Lin, please wait for me for a moment. I¡¯ll hold a video conference with the higher-ups and directors first.¡± Lin Fan also knew the rules of a large company. There were many things that one person could not decide alone. Hence, he nodded and said, ¡°Alright.¡± At the same time, Lin Fan was even more determined not to manage a company. Otherwise, if he wanted to do something, he would have to hold meetings and explain himself. It was too troublesome. The video conference ended. Ran Fei said, ¡°Mr. Lin, Dahua Group is willing to take 15% of the shares and obtain the exclusive rights to the gaming helmets. In addition, 50% of the profits from all the gaming helmets will belong to you. ¡°Mr. Lin, what do you think?¡± Ran Fei was extremely nervous when he said this. He had personally experienced the gaming helmet and knew very well how big a sensation it would cause. If Lin Fan was not satisfied, then he would have a headache. This was because Ran Fei had tried his best to negotiate this with the higher-ups and directors. Lin Fan said, ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s do it this way.¡± Did he agree? After a pause, Lin Fan said, ¡°Also, I have a request. I want to produce a batch of gaming helmets as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Good, good!¡± Ran Fei said excitedly. ¡°Mr. Lin, don¡¯t worry. Our Dahua Group will definitely produce the gaming helmets in the shortest time possible!¡± Then, he said, ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to draft the contract now, okay?¡± After a while, a freshly printed contract was handed to Lin Fan. Lin Fan flipped through it quickly and signed his name. Immediately after, Ran Fei also signed and stamped his seal. At this point, the cooperation had been made official! Ran Fei hugged the contract tightly and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, we won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡± Lin Fan nodded. However, he soon realized that Liu Dazhi did not want to leave. ¡°Director Liu, is there anything else?¡± Lin Fan asked. Liu Dazhi was a little embarrassed. ¡°Ahem, Mr. Lin, you¡¯re my idol. Can you give me your autograph?¡± Lin Fan rubbed his nose. Did he have fans now? Seeing that Lin Fan did not reply, Liu Dazhi said, ¡°I know that this is a very difficult request¡­¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°What¡¯s so difficult about that?¡± Where should I sign?¡± Liu Dazhi quickly flipped through his leather bag and took out the latest issue of Nature. He said, ¡°Mr. Lin, can you sign here?¡± Lin Fan raised his pen and quickly signed his name on the cover of the journal. Liu Dazhi looked at the flamboyant handwriting and hugged the journal tightly as if he had obtained a treasure. He bowed deeply toward Lin Fan and said excitedly, ¡°Thank you, Mr. Lin.¡± After saying that, he followed Ran Fei out with satisfaction. ¡­ The next day, the weather was clear. After Lin Fan ate his breakfast, he did not put on the gaming helmet. Instead, he drove the Cullinan toward Jiangbei University. After all, he was a teacher now. He had already been absent for a few days. When Lin Fan came to the office, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Nie Zhenjiang, Hao Zhiwu, Jiang Chaoqun, and Liu Qianqian were all focused on their studies and did not notice Lin Fan at all. At this moment, Lil White, who was lying on Hao Zhiwu¡¯s shoulder, suddenly let out a loud meow. Then, Lil White jumped down from Hao Zhiwu¡¯s shoulder and came to Lin Fan¡¯s feet, rubbing against him. ¡°Master, you¡¯re finally here. I missed you so much. ¡°When will you give me something delicious?¡± Hao Zhiwu raised his head when he heard the meow. ¡°Professor Lin, you¡¯re here!¡± Hao Zhiwu said in surprise. As his voice rang out, everyone raised their heads. Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, and Liu Qianqian were shocked. Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s beautiful eyes flashed with a faint light. Then, they hurriedly took out two bottles of energy drinks and passed them to Lin Fan. Lin Fan smiled as he took the two bottles and drank a mouthful from each. Seeing this¡­ Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s pretty faces were like blooming flowers, extremely brilliant. Chapter 432 - 432 Explanation; Something Happened! (2) 432 Explanation; Something Happened! (2) Lin Fan nodded at everyone. Then, he turned around and opened a bag of premium beef cat food. The cat, Lil White, made a purring sound as it ate. ¡°It¡¯s delicious. It¡¯s good that Master is here!¡± ¡°You¡¯re so greedy!¡± Hao Zhiwu spat softly. Then, he took a stack of draft paper and said, ¡°Professor Lin, I have a problem here¡­¡± Lin Fan took a casual glance and picked up a pen to write quickly. Soon, a long reaction equation appeared on the draft paper. ¡°I see. I was wondering why I couldn¡¯t solve it.¡± Hao Zhiwu suddenly understood.¡± ¡°Professor Lin, where have you been these days?¡± Hao Zhiwu asked after a pause. Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, Liu Qianqian, and the others could not help but perk up their ears. Obviously, they were also very curious. Lin Fan said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say last time¡­ that you want a device that allows you to enter the game with your consciousness?¡± Hao Zhiwu nodded. However, his face was still filled with confusion. He had said this before. However, what did this have to do with his problem? It could not be that he had been creating equipment for consciousness to enter the game these past few days, right? At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from outside the corridor. ¡°Professor Lin, Professor Lin!¡± Before the person arrived, there was an excited shout. Soon, biology professors Wu Tian and Zheng Qian rushed into the office. Wu Tian exclaimed, ¡°Professor Lin, your latest thesis published on Nature, The Principles and Future of Gaming Helmets, is really amazing!¡± Silence! The entire office was silent! Although Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, Liu Qianqian, and the others, did not know what kind of paper it was, they all understood what it meant to publish a paper in Nature. Lin Fan had not come to the office for the past few days because he was writing this thesis? He wrote a paper for Nature in a few days?! This¡­ This¡­ In the past, they often heard people say that Professor Lin Fan was a genius! It was as easy as eating a meal for him to publish a paper in top journals like Nature and Science. At that time, they did not believe it. Now, they did! Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, and Liu Qianqian were dumbfounded. Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s pretty faces were full of admiration. ¡°Professor Lin, you wrote a thesis on gaming helmets?¡± Hao Zhiwu shouted excitedly. Lin Fan scratched his ears and said, ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Can I take a look? Can I take a look?¡± Hao Zhiwu asked hurriedly. Just like what he said a few days ago, he liked games. In fact, the reason why he chose bioengineering was to create equipment for consciousness to enter the game. Now, when Hao Zhiwu heard that Lin Fan had published a thesis on gaming helmets in Nature, how could he not be excited? This meant that there was progress in the gaming helmet, big progress! Zheng Qian handed over the journal. Hao Zhiwu quickly flipped through it like a treasure. However, he frowned very soon after. There were many things inside that he could not understand at all. At this moment, Wu Tian said, ¡°Professor Lin, we didn¡¯t help at all this time. In the end, our names appeared as the second authors again. It¡¯s really¡­ We¡¯re really too ashamed to accept it.¡± ¡°Yeah,¡± Zheng Qian added. Although they said so, their faces were flushed and filled with joy. It was no wonder that Wu Tian and Zheng Qian were like this. Within a year, they published two articles in top journals. Even if it was as the second author, that was something they did not even dare to think about in the past. What kind of glory was this? Lin Fan waved his hand and said, ¡°This is what you deserve.¡± Then, Wu Tian and Zheng Qian asked Lin Fan some questions about the nervous system in the thesis. ¡°Thank you for your patience, Professor Lin,¡± Wu Tian said. ¡°Let¡¯s go back and study this thesis. We won¡¯t disturb Professor Lin¡¯s lecture now. After saying that, he walked out with Zheng Qian. At this moment, Zheng Qian seemed to have thought of something and said, ¡°By the way, Professor Lin. Do you know what happened to Hu Tian¡¯s family?¡± ¡°What happened?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Two days ago, I saw Hu Tian in a hurry to go home and asked her about it¡­¡± Zheng Qian said. ¡°She didn¡¯t say anything. I thought you knew¡­ It should be nothing.¡± Lin Fan looked at Zheng Qian and Wu Tian¡¯s receding figures. After some hesitation, he took out his phone and sent Hu Tian a WeChat message. Lin Fan: [Teacher Tiantian, you went home?] However, Hu Tian did not reply after a long time. Lin Fan understood that something must have happened to Hu Tian¡¯s family. Hence, he made a call. After a while, a tired voice came from the other end. ¡°Lin Fan¡­¡± ¡°Teacher Tiantian, you went home?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Yes,¡± Hu Tian said. ¡°Did something happen at home?¡± Lin Fan asked again. Hu Tian was silent for a moment before she said in a hoarse voice, ¡°My second brother is injured.¡± Although Hu Tian did not specifically say what kind of injury he had suffered, Lin Fan knew that he was definitely heavily injured! Otherwise, she would not be so sad. In addition, Lin Fan had some interactions with Hu Tian¡¯s second brother and knew that his name was Hu Shaodong. At first, Hu Shaodong wanted to show Lin Fan his strength through racing. As they got to know each other, he found that Hu Shaodong was a resolute and iron-blooded person, so his overall impression of him was not bad. Of course, the most important thing was that he was Hu Tian¡¯s second brother, his brother-in-law! Thus, Lin Fan said, ¡°Wait for me!¡± One had to know¡­ Lin Fan had Sun Simiao¡¯s Medical Experience. It was definitely not a problem for him to treat his injuries. Furthermore, Lin Fan had Medical Water, which was a magical treasure that could cure illnesses. After Lin Fan hung up the phone, he said to Xia Bing, Xia Xue, and the other students, ¡°I have something to do and will be out for a few days. If you have any questions, you can ask the other professors or wait for me to come back to solve them.¡± After saying that, he quickly walked out. Lil White, who was eating premium beef cat food, shouted, ¡°Goodbye, Master!¡± At this moment, the computer science professors Qiu Junxiong and Liu Wei walked over with a copy of Nature. They were about to say something when Lin Fan left them with a figure that was quickly disappearing into the distance. ¡°This¡­¡± Qiu Junxiong couldn¡¯t help but be stunned. At this moment, Hao Zhiwu noticed the two of them and walked over. He said excitedly, ¡°Are you guys here to discuss The Principles and Future of Gaming Helmets with Professor Lin? ¡°Professor Lin has something urgent to attend to and will be away for a few days. ¡°I¡¯m Professor Lin¡¯s student, Hao Zhiwu. I know a little about this.¡± Qiu Junxiong and Liu Wei looked at each other and nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°What does this mean?¡± Hao Zhiwu pointed at a chart. ¡°And this algorithm¡­¡± ¡°This thing¡­¡± Very soon¡­ Qiu Junxiong and Liu Wei realized that Hao Zhiwu did not know anything. He did not know anything at all! He did not even understand the thesis at all! He wanted to explain the thesis to them? Qiu Junxiong and Liu Wei did not know whether to laugh or cry. If he had completely understood the thesis, it would have been fine. The problem was that he had not fully understood the thesis. Therefore, Qiu Junxiong and Liu Wei only chatted for a while before finding an excuse to leave the office. After all¡­ As teachers, it was not good for students to feel that their knowledge was shallow and that they could not even understand a paper. When Qiu Junxiong and Liu Wei were holding Nature magazine and walking toward the teaching building with smiles on their faces, Wang Jun, who was also a computer science professor, happened to walk over. Wang Jun looked at their proud backs and sighed. ¡°A few days ago, Qiu Junxiong didn¡¯t recruit a new student. Instead, he dragged Lin Fan to the laboratory. ¡°If only I had discovered it earlier¡­ The Principles and Future of Gaming Helmets!¡± Wang Jun shook the Nature journal in his hand and let out a long sigh. His heart was filled with regret. If he had discovered it earlier, perhaps his name would have appeared as the second author. Chapter 433 - 433 Tragic; Special Medicine! 433 Tragic; Special Medicine! Sha City. In a vast courtyard. Old Master Hu Nanshan, Hu Kaixuan, Hu Guodong, Hu Tian, and many other members of the Hu family were standing at the door. Their faces were full of sorrow, and there were people sobbing and discussing. ¡°Shaodong¡­ Shaodong¡­¡± ¡°I hope it¡¯s not true.¡± ¡°Why is this happening?¡± Back then, when Old Master Hu Nanshan celebrated his birthday, he received a lot of Spirit Tea from Lin Fan. If it was consumed normally, it would definitely have the effect of prolonging life. Now, however, Hu Nanshan¡¯s face looked even more aged than when he had celebrated his birthday. When Hu Nanshan heard the voices of the crowd, he raised his eyebrows. ¡°Why are you crying? Shaodong was injured for the sake of the citizens. We must be proud of him! I¡¯ll see who dares to cry later!¡± It had to be said that Hu Nanshan had a very high status in the Hu family. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone from the Hu family stopped sobbing. Hu Kaixuan took a deep breath and said, ¡°We must be proud of Shaodong!¡± At this moment¡­ Three jeeps and an ambulance slowly stopped. A large group of soldiers and doctors carried an unconscious man whose face was covered in wounds. This man was Hu Tian¡¯s second brother, Hu Shaodong! If one looked closely, one would notice that Hu Shaodong¡¯s face was not the only part injured. There were many wounds on his body. In fact, his legs had completely disappeared. He¡­ He had become disabled! Even though everyone in the Hu family already knew about this and even though the old man had already reprimanded everyone, everyone¡¯s eyes turned red after seeing Hu Shaodong¡¯s miserable appearance. At this moment, a middle-aged man with an emblem on his shoulder came to Hu Nanshan. ¡°Old Leader, I¡¯m sorry. I couldn¡¯t protect Shaodong well and caused him to be so seriously injured. I¡­¡± ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Hu Nanshan interrupted. ¡°He¡¯s a warrior!¡± ¡°Since he¡¯s a warrior, he should be prepared to make sacrifices at any time! ¡°Also, a warrior should be the one protecting others.¡± Hu Nanshan could not help but look at Hu Shaodong. ¡°We¡­ I¡¯m proud of him!¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± The man with the emblem on his shoulder shouted. Then, Hu Shaodong was carried into the room. As for the soldiers with the emblem, they did not stay any longer. After saluting Hu Nanshan, they turned around and left. After all, they were soldiers and had many missions to deal with. After the soldiers left, the Hu family looked at the doctors and nurses who were checking Hu Shaodong¡¯s hideous wounds and changing his dressing. They could not help but cry. The bone-scraping pain woke Hu Shaodong up. He rolled his eyes with difficulty and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°I¡­ I¡­ This is¡­¡± Zhong Hongting choked and said, ¡°Shaodong, it¡¯s okay. It¡¯s okay. You¡¯re home now¡­¡± Hu Shaodong blinked his eyes in realization. A hot tear rolled down his face. Who said that men did not cry? Men did not cry just because they had not reached that point of sadness! At this moment, the phone in Hu Tian¡¯s pocket vibrated slightly. She looked at the caller ID. It was Lin Fan. Although Hu Tian was very sad, she still pressed the answer button. ¡°Teacher Tiantian, I¡¯ve arrived at the entrance of the courtyard,¡± Lin Fan said. Hu Tian sniffed and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll come and fetch you now.¡± After all, there were guards guarding the entrance of the courtyard where the Hu family lived. Outsiders were not allowed to enter and exit as they pleased. When Hu Tian saw Lin Fan, it was as if she had found someone to rely on. She could not help but throw herself into his arms as tears rolled down her cheeks. Lin Fan patted Hu Tian¡¯s shoulder lightly and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m here. Second Brother will be fine¡­ Take me to see him first.¡± Hu Tian thought that Lin Fan was comforting her and nodded her head gently. Thus, the two of them walked side by side to the Hu family¡¯s courtyard. When Lin Fan saw that Hu Shaodong was lying on a hospital bed with injuries all over his body and realized that he had lost both his legs, his expression changed slightly. Even though he had Sun Simiao¡¯s Medical Experience, there was no way to treat someone who had lost both legs. Now, he could only place his hopes on Medical Water. In fact¡­ Lin Fan did not have much hope for it. After a while, Lin Fan said, ¡°I have a bottle of special medicine here. It should be able to help Second Brother Hu.¡± As he spoke, he spent ten million yuan to buy a bottle of Medical Water from the system. Everyone from the Hu family could not help but look at Lin Fan. Hu Nanshan also noticed Lin Fan and said, ¡°You¡¯re so thoughtful.¡± Clearly, he still remembered Lin Fan. This was normal. After all, it was all because of Lin Fan that Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian, the two pillars of the nation, asked Commander Yue Zixiao to come over to congratulate him. Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯ll go give this to Second Brother Hu now.¡± Drink it now? How could Hu Shaodong drink something casually in his current condition? Hu Nanshan was about to refuse. However, he soon thought of the Spirit Tea. During this period of time, he often drank it. Every time he drank a cup, he felt refreshed. After a while, Hu Nanshan felt that all the small problems in his body had disappeared. If he had heard the news that Hu Shaodong was seriously injured and lost both his legs in the past, before he started drinking the Spirit Tea, he would have died. Hu Nanshan looked much younger than before! Lin Fan had magical tea leaves. Perhaps, he also had a magic potion! Thinking of this, Hu Nanshan said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you, Lin Fan.¡± With Hu Nanshan¡¯s approval, the others naturally did not say anything. When Lin Fan came to Hu Dong¡¯s side, Hu Tian saw his miserable state up close and could not help but hold Lin Fan¡¯s hand tightly. Lin Fan patted the back of her hand and said softly, ¡°It¡¯ll be fine.¡± He was very sure. Even though Lin Fan still did not know if the Medical Water would have any effect on him, he had the system and seven billion red packets! There must be a way to solve the problem of this man¡¯s legs. Lin Fan said, ¡°Second Brother Hu, please open your mouth.¡± Hu Shaodong blinked his eyes and opened his trembling mouth. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, he slowly drank the Medical Water. When the Medical Water entered his stomach, Hu Shaodong felt a warm current flowing through his stomach. Then, his body, which was originally in extreme pain, quickly became relaxed and comfortable. In the eyes of outsiders, the hideous wounds on Hu Shaodong¡¯s body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. This scene¡­ Everyone¡¯s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Chapter 434 - 434 Mission; Toy Factory! 434 Mission; Toy Factory! Lin Fan had been paying attention to the changes in Hu Shaodong¡¯s body. After pondering for a moment, he spent another ten million yuan to buy a bottle of Medical Water from the system. ¡°Second Brother Hu, drink another bottle.¡± Hu Shaodong was still in a state of shock. Hence, he did not hear Lin Fan¡¯s words at all. Lin Fan could only open his mouth again, ¡°Second Brother Hu, open your mouth.¡± Hu Shaodong finally reacted and replied, ¡°Ah¡­ Alright.¡± His voice was no longer as hoarse as before, and it sounded energized, as though his health had returned to normal. The second bottle of Medical Water went down his throat. Hu Shaodong felt warm and comfortable. To outsiders, the wounds on his body healed even faster. Lin Fan had been staring at the changes in Hu Shaodong¡¯s body. Then, he spent another ten million yuan to buy a bottle of Medical Water from the system. A bottle of Medical Water could cure countless illnesses. After three bottles, the effects were multiplied! In the blink of an eye, the wounds on Hu Shaodong¡¯s body lessened. About ten minutes later¡­ All his wounds had healed. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan sighed. Hu Shaodong¡¯s legs had not recovered yet. Hu Tian could not help but ask, ¡°Brother, how do you feel?¡±¡± Hu Shaodong clenched his fists and said in a powerful voice, ¡°I¡¯m fine. I feel like I¡¯m fine now!¡± Hu Nanshan nodded repeatedly. Then, he said to Hu Shaodong, ¡°Shaodong, hurry up and thank Lin Fan!¡± Even Hu Nanshan had never heard of a medicine that could heal wounds in such a short time. Medicine? In Hu Nanshan¡¯s opinion¡­ Perhaps, this could not simply be called medicine! It was divine medicine! Without a doubt, its value was immeasurable! Yet, Lin Fan was willing to take out three bottles in a row. This was definitely a huge favor! Hu Shaodong also understood this and said seriously, ¡°Lin Fan, thank you.¡± Lin Fan waved his hand and said, ¡°Second Brother, you don¡¯t have to be so polite¡­ Besides, I didn¡¯t really manage to help you.¡± As he spoke, he could not help but look down at Hu Shaodong¡¯s legs. ¡°It¡¯s good enough,¡± Hu Shaodong said dejectedly. ¡°After all, it¡¯s impossible for legs to grow back.¡± At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s head rang out with a clear sound. [Ding! Mission: Buy one million toys and make 100 different toys. Reward: Perfect artificial limbs, as well as the machinery, tools, and principles for making artificial limbs.] When Lin Fan heard that, his expression changed slightly. ¡°I have a way to make Second Brother Hu stand up!¡± As soon as he said this, everyone present revealed an unconcealable excitement. However, Lin Fan then said, ¡°Teacher Tiantian, do you know if there¡¯s a large toy factory in Sha City?¡± A large toy factory? Did he not say that he could make Hu Shaodong stand up? Why was he suddenly asking about a toy factory? Although everyone was puzzled, Hu Tian still replied, ¡°There are some toy factories in the north of the city.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± After saying that, he did not say anything else and strode out. Only the Hu family members were left looking at each other. Was the toy factory related to helping Hu Shaodong stand up? He could not possibly use a toy to stand up, right? Lin Fan sat in the Cullinan and headed toward the north of the city. After a while, he arrived in front of a rather large factory called Qinqin Toy. The security guard at the door quickly noticed Lin Fan and said, ¡°Hello, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Lin Fan said,¡± Tell your factory manager that I want to buy the toy factory!¡± Lin Fan¡¯s thoughts were simple. The mission was to buy one million toys. It would definitely be very slow to buy them in bulk. The simplest and most direct method was to buy the entire factory. In this way, the toys in the factory would be bought by him! In addition, Lin Fan needed to make 100 different toys. It would be more convenient to buy a factory and make them himself. However, the security guard was stunned by his words. Anyone who suddenly heard that someone wanted to buy a huge factory would be a little stunned. Moreover, the other party was a young man. At this moment, a Porsche Cayenne drove over from afar. The security guard immediately stood up straight and said, ¡°Hello, Factory Manager Yao!¡± Then¡­ A middle-aged man with a big belly slowly walked down. Factory Manager Yao nodded to show his greeting. ¡°What happened here?¡± he asked. The security guard hesitated for a moment, but he did not know what to say. Should he directly say that this young man wanted to buy the toy factory? The factory manager would definitely scold him, right? Lin Fan said, ¡°You came at the right time. I want to buy your factory!¡± Factory Manager Yao was also stunned for a moment. Obviously, he did not expect Lin Fan to have such a request. Factory Manager Yao could not help but size Lin Fan up. He realized that Lin Fan¡¯s expression was calm, as if he was not joking. After a while, Factory Manager Yao finally said, ¡°Our Qinqin Toy Factory is doing very well. Our annual profit is more than ten million yuan, and it¡¯s still expanding. For the time being, I have no intention of selling it, so I can only apologize to you.¡± If Lin Fan were just an ordinary young man, Factory Manager Yao would not have bothered saying so much. In fact, he would not even have gotten out of the car. It was because Lin Fan was driving a luxury car that was worth tens of millions of yuan¡ªRolls-Royce Cullinan! Lin Fan acted like he did not hear him and said, ¡°500 million yuan!¡± Factory Manager Yao¡¯s body stiffened slightly. 500 million yuan! In fact, their factory was only worth some money. The machines and raw materials were not worth much money. If it were a big brand toy factory, there might be some brand value. However, Qinqin Toy Factory had only been established for a few years and had no brand value at all. 500 million yuan! It definitely exceeded the actual price of the factory! Seeing that Manager Yao did not say anything, Lin Fan said again, ¡°1 billion yuan!¡± One billion yuan! This was not the actual price of the factory but several times more! Factory Manager Yao felt his throat go dry. Seeing that Manager Yao still did not answer, Lin Fan frowned slightly and said, ¡°Two billion yuan!¡± At this moment, Factory Manager Yao finally reacted and hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯ll sell it!¡± ¡°If you need it, I can leave all the materials, workers, equipment, sales channels, and so on to you!¡± Factory Manager Yao continued. Not selling? It was just that the price was not high enough! Lin Fan nodded his head in satisfaction. ¡°Alright!¡± Seeing that Manager Yao was still standing beside him, he frowned again and asked, ¡°What are you still standing there for? Go and draw up the contract. Today, I¡¯ll become the boss of Qinqin Toy Factory!¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± Factory Manager Yao hurriedly responded and jogged back to the car. Then, he quickly went into the factory. Chapter 435 - 435 Continuous Level-Ups; Announcement! 435 Continuous Level-Ups; Announcement! Factory Manager Yao¡¯s name was Yao Hanqing. Even though he was the factory manager, the entire factory did not belong to him alone. Instead, it was opened by three people, including him. Normally, it would be difficult for one to even get a job in a factory like this. If they wanted to sell it, it would be even more troublesome and take a longer time. After all, everyone had different thoughts. Some people did it for their ideals, while others did it for their interests¡­ However, in just two hours, Qinqin Toy Factory quickly drafted the contract and completed the ownership change. What ideals? What interest? In front of two billion dollars, they were nothing! After the transaction was completed, Yao Hanqing¡¯s entire face broke into a smile. Lin Fan¡¯s expression remained the same. He focused on the mission system. [Ding! Mission: Buy one million toys (1 million/1 million) and make 100 different toys. Reward: Perfect artificial limbs, as well as the machinery, tools, and principles for making artificial limbs.] The mission was already half completed! At the same time, 200,000 red packets instantly appeared on his phone! However, Lin Fan did not immediately go to collect the red packets. At this moment, a series of notifications rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! System upgrade, Level 8!] [Level 8 reward: 200 yuan for every breath; 200 yuan for every second of sleep, and 200 yuan for every step taken. Rewards are distributed at 12 a.m. daily.] [Upgrade cost: 1.62133 billion/1 billion (not including gifts and gambling. In addition, all items obtained from the system are prohibited from being traded.] [Ding! [System upgrade, LV9!] [Level 9 reward: 500 yuan for every breath; 500 yuan for every second of sleep, and 500 yuan for every step taken. Rewards are distributed at 12 a.m. daily.] [Upgrade cost: 102,330,000/2 billion (not including gifts and gambling. In addition, all items obtained from the system are prohibited from being traded.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve completed the hidden mission. You¡¯ve spent a total of one billion yuan and received five platinum packets!] As the series of voices rang out in his mind, even Lin Fan could not help but curl his lips up. He had leveled up two levels in a row! When he was at level 7, if he only counted the money he earned from breathing, walking, and sleeping, it would be about seven million yuan a day. At level 9, however, that sum had increased by five times! In other words, Lin Fan could earn more than 35 million yuan just by breathing, walking, and sleeping every day! He would get one billion a month! That was a terrifying number! In fact, Lin Fan did not care about this bit of money. The key was the five platinum packets! Lin Fan had never opened a platinum packet before, but a golden packet had given him Spirit Tea Seeds, double shares coupon, and so on. There was a high chance of him getting good stuff. Platinum packets were definitely worth looking forward to! ¡­ After a while, Lin Fan finally collected his thoughts. He looked at Yao Hanqing, who was holding his phone and counting the balance back and forth. He had yet to leave. Lin Fan asked, ¡°Is there anything else?¡± After all, he could leave now that payment had been made. Yao Hanqing hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, I wonder if I can continue working in the factory? ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t take the shares. I¡¯ll just be an ordinary manager. ¡°I¡¯ve been a toy worker for more than ten years and a factory manager for a few years. I¡¯ve been in charge of the management, operation, and production of the toy factory, from toy production to offline sales and after-sales¡­ I¡¯m very familiar with the entire process¡­¡± The current him could be said to have complete freedom of wealth. However, Yao Hanqing had a feeling that if he followed Lin Fan, he would climb higher and go further! Lin Fan did not care about management, operations, sales, and so on. However, production? This was what Lin Fan needed! After all¡­ Next, he needed to make 100 different types of toys. Only then could he complete the mission. ¡°Can you make 100 different toys?¡± Lin Fan asked. Yao Hanqing did not understand why he would ask such a question. However, he still replied immediately, ¡°If the toy is considered different after slight modifications, then I can make hundreds or thousands of toys!¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Alright! Then teach me how to make 100 different toys now.¡± Teach him how to make 100 different toys? Yao Hanqing was stunned again. This¡­ A super tycoon who spent two billion yuan to buy a toy factory wanted to learn how to make toys? ¡°Why? Can¡¯t I?¡± Lin Fan frowned. Yao Hanqing quickly said, ¡°Of course¡­ I¡¯ll go to the workshop with you now. There are materials and tools for making all kinds of toys.¡± At this moment, in the workshop, a group of workers were either standing and operating machines, doing manual work, or welding. When they saw Yao Hanqing, they shouted, ¡°Hello, Factory Manager Yao!¡± Obviously, these workers still did not know that their boss had been quietly replaced. Yao Hanqing coughed lightly and said, ¡°Everyone, stop what you¡¯re doing!¡± ¡­ When everyone heard this, they stopped their machines and gathered around. Yao Hanqing continued, ¡°I have something to announce to everyone. From today onward, Mr. Lin is the new boss of our Qinqin Toy Factory!¡± Hence, all the employees looked at Lin Fan and said in unison, ¡°Hello, Boss Lin!¡± Their change of words could be said to be very simple. This was normal. They usually did not interact with people like bosses. In their hearts¡­ As long as they worked normally and the boss paid them normally¡­ it did not matter who the boss was. Lin Fan said, ¡°Hello, everyone. I want to announce something. Qinqin Toy Factory will soon produce some other things. Those who want to stay can continue to stay. If you stay, your salary will double! Those who don¡¯t want to stay can go through the resignation procedures, and we¡¯ll pay N+2 compensation.¡± After all, as long as he completed the mission, he would be able to obtain the machinery, tools, principles, and other things needed to make prosthetic limbs. Since he had bought the factory, he would go with the flow. Otherwise, it would be a waste. As for the compensation and doubling their salary, Lin Fan did not care about it at all. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get double my salary?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll stay!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll stay!¡± ¡°Me too!¡± ¡­ As Lin Fan¡¯s voice fell, the entire factory was filled with intense shouts. The reason why they came to work in the toy factory was definitely not because they liked toys. It was just to make money. Now that they could double their salary, they naturally did not want to miss this chance. As for what was produced, what did it matter? Lin Fan nodded. ¡°You don¡¯t have to agree immediately. Today is a paid day off. Go back and think about it. Just come back tomorrow.¡± Chapter 436 - 436 Mission Completed; You Can Stand Up Soon! 436 Mission Completed; You Can Stand Up Soon! ¡°There¡¯s no need to consider!¡± ¡°I agree!¡± ¡°I agree too!¡± All the workers shouted. The entire workshop was noisy. No one chose to leave. After all, their salary would double! What if they went back and thought about it for a night, and in the end, they lost their chance? They would definitely regret it for the rest of their lives! Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan could not help but frown. He did not like this kind of noisy scene. Especially since he still had a mission to complete. Hu Tian and Hu Shaodong were still waiting for him at home. Yao Hanqing, who was standing at the side, seemed to have noticed Lin Fan¡¯s unhappiness. He hurriedly said, ¡°Those who want to stay, go to the square and register with Manager Qu! ¡°The quota is limited! If you¡¯re late, we¡¯ll take it as an application to resign! After registration, you can come back to work officially tomorrow!¡± He did not think that Lin Fan was joking when he said that he would double their salary and pay N+2 compensation. One had to know¡­ Lin Fan had just spent two billion to buy Qinqin Toy Factory. After Yao Hanqing finished speaking, the employees no longer dared to make any noise and rushed to the square. Soon, the entire workshop became empty and silent. Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Not bad.¡± Even though it was just two simple words, in Yao Hanqing¡¯s ears, they sounded like beautiful music. ¡°Thank you for your praise!¡± Yao Hanqing said happily. Lin Fan said, ¡°Now, teach me how to make toys.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Yao Hanqing said. Yao Hanqing held a small motor and plastic cover while saying, ¡°These are the parts of the toy car. You just need to assemble them.¡± As he spoke, he assembled about a dozen components together. Soon, a mini car appeared in front of him. After installing the battery, it could run at a relatively fast speed. A minute after Yao Hanqing had finished assembling it, Lin Fan finished assembling another one. This was normal¡­ After all, making this toy was very simple. Lin Fan had a photographic memory, so how could he not finish assembling it quickly? Yao Hanqing looked at Lin Fan¡¯s quick and perfect installation of the toy and could not help but praise, ¡°Mr. Lin, your assembly speed is so fast!¡± Lin Fan ignored him and focused on the mission system. [Mission: Buy one million toys (1 million/1 million) and make 100 different toys (1/100). Reward: Perfect artificial limbs, as well as the machinery, tools, and principles for making artificial limbs.] Lin Fan said, ¡°Make the next toy.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Yao Hanqing said. Then, they assembled Thomas & Friends, different Ultramans, Iron Man in various positions, many toy guns, excavators, slides, and so on. It had to be said that there were indeed many types of toys in Qinqin Toy Factory. Yao Hanqing was also proficient in making all kinds of toys. In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed. Yao Hanqing picked up another set of components and was about to assemble them. At this moment, Lin Fan, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± That was because a clear notification sounded in his mind. [Ding! Mission Completed: Buy one million toys (1 million/1 million) and make 100 different toys (100/100). You¡¯ve obtained perfect artificial limbs, as well as the machinery, tools, and principles for making artificial limbs.] Mission accomplished! At the same time, Lin Fan¡¯s mind was filled with a lot of knowledge about artificial limbs. After a while, a smile appeared on his face. According to the prosthetic knowledge provided by the system, he knew that Hu Shaodong could stand up! When Yao Hanqing heard Lin Fan¡¯s words, he heaved a sigh of relief. After making toys for three hours, he was a little tired. Lin Fan said, ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all for today. I¡¯ll come back tomorrow.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Yao Hanqing replied. Then, Lin Fan did not stay any longer and drove the Cullinan into the distance. ¡­ In the courtyard of the Hu family¡­ After Hu Shaodong took three bottles of Medical Water, his overall condition was no different from before, except that his legs still had not grown back. There was no difference? That was not true! In fact, there was still a difference. Hu Shaodong had been suffering from ringing in his ears, nasal obstruction, sore throat, and other ailments for many years, but all of them had disappeared without a trace. Hu Shaodong saw that the Hu family members still had some sadness on their faces, so he forced a smile and said, ¡°Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt, you don¡¯t have to be unhappy. I think it¡¯s good this way. In the future, I don¡¯t have to train or run around. I can always be by your side.¡± Everyone could tell that he was trying to comfort them. They suppressed their urge to cry and nodded. ¡°Lin Fan had that magic potion. Since he said that he can make Shaodong stand up again, I believe it¡¯ll happen!¡± When Hu Shaodong heard this, his heartbeat quickened. Soon, however, he shook his head helplessly. A method? What method? If Lin Fan did have a method, he would have said it out loud just now. It was impossible to regrow legs out of thin air! ¡°Tiantian, didn¡¯t you just call Lin Fan? Did he say what he was doing?¡± Hu Tian hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°He¡­ He said he went to the toy factory.¡± Her aunt clearly wanted Hu Tian to say something to comfort Hu Shaodong. However, if she really said words of reassurance, what would Lin Fan do when he came? At this time, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment! It would also make things difficult for Lin Fan. Hu Tian did not want Lin Fan to be in a difficult position. In fact¡­ When Lin Fan left the Hu Family, he said that he wanted to go to the toy factory. However, Hu Shaodong and the Hu family still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts. What if¡­ What if they had heard wrongly? What if Lin Fan went to find a godly potion that could help Hu Shaodong stand up? At this moment, after hearing Hu Tian¡¯s words, the last bit of hope in everyone¡¯s hearts turned into a bubble. ¡°What is he doing in the toy factory now?¡± someone asked in a low voice. Hu Shaodong smiled and said, ¡°Maybe Lin Fan went to the toy factory because he wants to customize toys for my future nephews and nieces¡­ Not bad! Tiantian, it¡¯s time for you to have a child.¡± When Hu Tian heard this, her pretty face could not help but blush. When the Hu family heard this, their mood improved slightly, and a hint of anticipation appeared on their faces. At this moment, the sound of brisk footsteps could be heard from outside. It was Lin Fan, who had been out for a few hours! At this moment, Lin Fan walked in with a big box and shouted, ¡°Second Brother Hu, you¡¯ll be able to stand up soon!¡± As soon as he said this, Hu Nanshan, Hu Tian, Hu Kaixuan, and Hu Shaodong, who was lying on the bed, turned around. All eyes were on Lin Fan! Hu Shaodong could stand up soon! Everyone¡¯s hearts began to beat faster and faster! Chapter 437 - 437 Replying; Magical Prosthetic Legs! 437 Replying; Magical Prosthetic Legs! Hu Tian could not help but walk forward and say, ¡°Lin Fan, is what you said true?¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°When have I ever lied to you? Don¡¯t worry!¡± As he spoke, he gently patted the back of Hu Tian¡¯s hand. Then, he carried the big box to the bed. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Lin Fan took out prosthetic legs from the big box. Lin Fan introduced, ¡°These are prosthetics. After they¡¯re installed, they can perfectly replace the original legs. ¡°Second Brother Hu, your whole body might be a little numb later.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Hu Shaodong nodded. Lin Fan lifted Hu Shaodong¡¯s lower body. Even though Hu Shaodong¡¯s injuries had all healed, one could still see the hideous wounds on his legs. Many people from the Hu family felt their hearts tremble. They felt extremely sad. Lin Fan took out the prosthetic legs and compared them to the thighs. Then, he connected one end of the prosthetic legs to Hu Shaodong¡¯s broken ones. Just as Lin Fan said, Hu Shaodong¡¯s whole body felt numb. At this moment, Hu Shaodong seemed to have lost consciousness. Even his brain stopped thinking. In the eyes of the Hu family¡­ The liquid on the prosthetic leg suddenly squirmed violently and seeped into Hu Shaodong¡¯s broken legs. It was very strange. About three minutes later, the liquid disappeared. The prosthetic legs were perfectly connected to Hu Shaodong¡¯s body. It was as if¡­ It was as if these were Hu Shaodong¡¯s legs and not artificial limbs. At this moment, the numbness in Hu Shaodong¡¯s body gradually disappeared. ¡°Are you done?¡± he asked after a pause. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Alright, Second Brother Hu. Try standing up.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Hu Shaodong replied. The next moment, he was completely stunned. He really stood up. He could walk forward, walk back, and even spin! He was extremely agile and free! It was as if his legs had grown back! He jumped excitedly. He jumped two meters high! His head hit the roof. Then, he landed steadily on the ground. This scene not only shocked Hu Shaodong but also everyone in the Hu family! It was as though his legs had grown back! He had a pair of super legs! Hu Shaodong widened his eyes and looked down at his legs. His face was filled with disbelief. In fact, he did not have much hope for the prosthetic limbs at first. After all, they were just prosthetics. However, what was the situation now? Even though Hu Shaodong had experienced many things, at this moment, he could not help but stutter, ¡°Lin¡­ Lin Fan¡­My¡­ These are¡­¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°This are prosthetics. Are they useful?¡± Hu Shaodong nodded vigorously and said, ¡°But why do I feel like they¡¯re really my legs? No! They¡¯re even better than my own legs! Especially in terms of strength and speed!¡± As he spoke, he kicked his legs and ran quickly. Lin Fan explained, ¡°This is normal. This is because the artificial limbs are already connected to your nerves and tendons. Of course, you can control them like your own legs. ¡°As for the strength and speed, it¡¯s because of the materials.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great! Shaodong has legs again!¡± cried his aunt happily. After a pause, the aunt continued, ¡°This¡­ Would his legs break? How should he take care of them? Are they made from metal? Will they be harmful to the body?¡± She was not doubting Lin Fan. It was out of concern for her family member. After all, she did not know about artificial limbs. Lin Fan was not angry and explained, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the materials used for these prosthetic limbs are far beyond medical grade. They won¡¯t cause any harm to the body. As for the damage to the prosthetic limbs, they¡¯ll be damaged if they¡¯re blown up by artillery shells. ¡°But the prosthetics are very stable. They¡¯re water and fire-resistant. There¡¯s no need to take special care of them.¡± When everyone heard Lin Fan¡¯s words, the admiration on their faces intensified. The prosthetics could be considered a pair of transplanted legs. They were stronger and more perfect! Hu Hu Nanshan shouted, ¡°Shaodong, what are you doing? Hurry up and thank Lin Fan!¡± The prosthetics were definitely a mystical item that could be compared to Medical Water! Hu Nanshan knew that Lin Fan must have paid a huge price for it! Hu Shaodong also understood this and said solemnly, ¡°Lin Fan, thank you!¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter.¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Besides, you¡¯re Tiantian¡¯s second brother. So, there¡¯s no need to thank me.¡± In order to thank Lin Fan for saving Hu Shaodong and giving him the prosthetics, the Hu family specially organized a grand banquet. Without a doubt, Lin Fan was the main character of this meal. Everyone in the Hu family, including Old Master Hu Nanshan, kept toasting Lin Fan. Everyone ate and drank happily. ¡­ The night gradually darkened. Hu Tian and Lin Fan walked side by side on the small hill behind the courtyard. ¡°Lin Fan, thank goodness I have you.¡± Hu Tian sighed sincerely. As she spoke, she could not help but think of the scene of Lin Fan solving a math problem seriously. She thought of the scene of Lin Fan writing calligraphy elegantly. She thought of the scene when Lin Fan came to congratulate her grandfather on his birthday. Finally, she thought of the scene of Lin Fan coming to her house. Hu Tian¡¯s face turned red, and her entire body went limp. She could not help but lean toward Lin Fan. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ Lin Fan and Hu Tian only walked down the hill when it was very late. Their faces were slightly red. After being blown by the cool breeze for a while, their faces gradually returned to normal. At this moment¡­ Hu Tian seemed to have thought of something and asked, ¡°Lin Fan, what were you doing at the toy factory today?¡± In fact, she had been curious about this for a long time. However, there were too many people in the Hu family¡¯s compound earlier. She was worried that Lin Fan would be put in a difficult position, so she did not ask. Lin Fan said, ¡°I did some research and developed the prosthetics.¡± Research? Moreover, he did research in a toy factory?! He only studied it for an afternoon¡­ Yet he had developed prosthetics with such miraculous effects! This¡­ This¡­ Hu Tian knew that Lin Fan had solved several world-class mathematics problems and invented the earthquake prediction device, the human islet recovery drug, the super battery, the carbon-based photolithographic machine, and many other things. He was called a super genius by many people. However, when Hu Tian heard Lin Fan¡¯s answer, she was still shocked. She looked at Lin Fan, and her beautiful eyes flashed. After a gust of wind blew past, Hu Tian¡¯s pretty face, which had finally returned to normal, turned red again. She approached Lin Fan again. Then, she pulled Lin Fan back to the small hill. Chapter 438 - 438 One-Stop Service; Return! 438 One-Stop Service; Return! The next day, the sky was clear. After Lin Fan finished his breakfast, he drove the Cullinan toward Qinqin Toy Factory. However, he did not drive directly into Qinqin Toy Factory. Instead, he slowly stopped in an empty space not far from Qinqin Toy Factory and focused his attention on the system. [Do you wish to extract the prosthetic maker?] ¡°Yes!¡± In the next moment, several large machines suddenly appeared on the empty ground. Although these complicated-looking machines were very strange in shape and had many circuits, Lin Fan knew every part, button, and function that was involved. Lin Fan sized the machines up and said to the super smart watch on his wrist, ¡°Lil White!¡± ¡°Master, I¡¯m here!¡± The super smart watch flickered slightly and made a clear sound. Lin Fan said, ¡°Help me register a patent for the prosthetics as well as the prosthetic maker.¡± It had become Lin Fan¡¯s habit to register a patent for new things. If it were an ordinary person, registering a patent would be very complicated and cumbersome. However, it was very simple for Lin Fan. Since that was the case, why not? ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Lil White said. It had already registered several patents, so it could be said to be familiar with the process. In just a few minutes, electronic patent certificates appeared on the screen. Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction and muttered, ¡°Now, I only need to purchase the raw materials and produce the prosthetics¡­ These raw materials don¡¯t seem to be easy to obtain. It¡¯s troublesome!¡± At this point, Lin Fan could not help but frown. He hated trouble! ¡°Master, if it¡¯s raw materials, I can help you search and transport them.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Yes, Master. In addition, I can also control the prosthetic maker to produce and sell the products. I can even handle after-sales,¡± Lil White said. Lil White could search for raw materials, then carry out mass production, sales, and after-sales. This was a one-stop service! Lin Fan praised, ¡°Lil White, you¡¯re not bad!¡± Suddenly, a big smiley face appeared on the display screen of the super smart watch, and its voice became even more pleasant. ¡°Thank you for the compliment, Master.¡± Lin Fan thought for a while and said, ¡°Right, Lil White. Can you adjust the materials of the prosthetics? I just need to make their strength, speed, and quality similar to that of a normal human leg.¡± Lin Fan had witnessed Hu Shaodong¡¯s ability after he put on the prosthetic legs. He understood that if a large number of disabled people were to use his prosthetic limbs, it would probably bring some unnecessary trouble to the world. ¡°No problem!¡± Lil White replied. With Lil White¡¯s promise, Lin Fan did not hesitate anymore. He dialed Yao Hanqing¡¯s number and asked him to arrange for some people, trucks, and cranes to come over. It had to be said that Yao Hanqing¡¯s execution was not bad. After a while¡­ Two large trucks, a dozen workers, and a large crane arrived at the open space. ¡°Hello, Boss Lin,¡± Yao Hanqing said. Immediately after, more than a dozen workers said in unison, ¡°Hello, Boss!¡± Their tone was very respectful and sincere. It was no wonder. After all, Lin Fan had given Yao Hanqing two billion yuan and doubled the employees¡¯ salaries. Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°Send these machines to the factory.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± everyone shouted in unison. They all worked hard as if they wanted to show their hard-working appearance in front of Lin Fan. After the workers moved the machines to the factory, Lin Fan handed everything over to Lil White. Not long after, large trucks drove over. There were many spare parts piled up inside, as well as many small robots that were similar to the food delivery robots in hotels. Under Lil White¡¯s control, the small robots took the initiative to pick up parts and carry out simple self-transformation to make their bodies more agile and powerful. Then, these small robots took different parts and sent them to the prosthetic maker for modification. The workers clicked their tongues in wonder. However, they were not too shocked. After all, this was the 21st century, and the workers had some knowledge. After the little robots were done with that, more trucks drove into Qinqin Toy Factory. These trucks were filled with¡­ all kinds of materials. The small robots transported the materials, while the prosthetic maker melted the materials at high temperatures, cut them, and quickly processed them. Not long after, a set of prosthetic limbs was produced. Then, a line of words appeared on the screens of the small robots¡ª¡¯Packing them up.¡¯ Seeing this¡­ Even Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. In this way, he did not have to worry about anything. It was very easy. Lin Fan¡­ liked this relaxed feeling. Lin Fan said, ¡°Yao Hanqing, in the future, you¡¯ll continue to be in charge of the management and operations of the factory. As for the specific work, just follow these little robots or my instructions.¡± At this moment¡­ Yao Hanqing and many other workers were looking at the small robots and the prosthetic maker with fascination. They were like children looking at an excavator. It was very novel. As such, when Yao Hanqing heard Lin Fan¡¯s words, he could not react in time. After a while, he said excitedly, ¡°Yes, Boss!¡± Lin Fan¡¯s words were equivalent to letting him continue to be the factory manager! Even though the factory manager¡¯s salary was nothing to Yao Hanqing, he believed that Qinqin Toy Factory would go very far, especially after seeing these machines make artificial limbs. He was even more determined to stay. After everything was settled, Lin Fan drove the Cullinan back to the Hu family¡¯s residence. Without a doubt, he was received with great hospitality. There were many green plants in the Hu family¡¯s courtyard, and the air was clear. It was very suitable for retirement. However, Lin Fan was not an old man. After staying for a long time, it was inevitable that he would be a little bored. Hu Tian seemed to have realized this as well, so she said to Old Master Hu Nanshan that there were still things she had to deal with at school. Then, Lin Fan drove them back to Jiangbei in the Cullinan. This was Hu Tian¡¯s first time sitting in Lin Fan¡¯s car. She did not know if it was because beauty was in the eye of the beholder or something else. She looked at the way Lin Fan drove and was mesmerized. She could not help but lean her head over. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ Lin Fan, who had Professional Driving Skills, drove very smoothly. When they arrived at Jiangbei, the sky had already darkened. In the car, Hu Tian was already unable to control her emotions. When Lin Fan sent her home, the two of them immediately started their activities for the night. Shouts rose and fell. ¡­ It was a sleepless night. Chapter 439 - 439 Platinum Packets; Open! 439 Platinum Packets; Open! The next day. The weather was clear. Lin Fan opened his eyes slowly. At this moment, he was the only one on the bed. His pillow was filled with a delicate fragrance. Lin Fan picked up his phone, and a message appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 35,790,120 yuan was deposited into your account.] Although the money he earned from breathing, walking, and sleeping every day was five times more than before, reaching a total of 35.79 million, Lin Fan did not feel anything. He focused his attention on the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten million yuan.] Lin Fan could not help but yawn. He scrolled through his phone for a while. Only then did he slowly get up. When Lin Fan opened the door, he was greeted by the fragrance of food. He could not help but walk toward the dining room. There were pork ribs, yam and red date soup, fried dumplings, and fried eggs on the dining table. Hu Tian, who was still busy in the kitchen, slowly walked out. When she saw Lin Fan, she smiled and said, ¡°Are you hungry? Eat something first.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Fan said. It had to be said that Hu Tian¡¯s culinary skills were indeed not bad. Even Lin Fan, who was a master chef, could not help but praise the food and eat everything. As it was the weekend, they took the time to rest. Lin Fan and Hu Tian held hands and strolled around outside sweetly. ¡­ While they were strolling around, the first prosthetic limb was successfully sold for two million yuan under Lil White¡¯s arrangement! When everyone saw the excellent effect of the prosthetic limb, it immediately caused a huge sensation. As a result, the price of prosthetic limbs began to rise. The price of the second prosthetic limb became five million yuan. The price of the third prosthetic limb was ten million yuan! The fourth prosthetic limb was priced at 12 million yuan! ¡­ The magical prosthetic limbs quickly attracted the attention of Hua Nation¡¯s officials. Therefore, the Hua Nation government also spent a lot of money to buy a prosthetic leg and quickly sent it to the Institute of Science. The academicians gathered together and let out a wave of enthusiastic praises and discussions. ¡°How was this artificial limb made?¡± ¡°This liquid can actually completely match and connect with the nerves and tendons. It¡¯s simply unbelievable!¡± ¡°It¡¯s as if a disabled person has grown a new limb!¡± ¡°Amazing! The person who developed it is definitely a genius, an amazing genius!¡± ¡°Who developed this?¡± ¡°This is unbelievable!¡± In fact¡­ They were not the only ones who were puzzled. Many medical researchers and big investors, both domestic and foreign, were also very interested in these prosthetic limbs. They first appeared in Hua Nation. In addition, the Hua Nation government had absolute control over the country. Soon, they discovered the company that produced the prosthetic limbs. It was called Qinqin Toy Factory. When they saw the company¡¯s name, the Hua Nation officials thought they were seeing things. A toy factory¡­ produced such magical prosthetic limbs? Was this a joke? With a puzzled attitude, they investigated Qinqin Toy Factory. Only then did they realize that they had recently applied for the production and sales qualifications of medical equipment. Furthermore, the legal representative had been changed to Lin Fan! ¡­ In the blink of an eye, another day passed. Lin Fan and Hu Tian were lovey-dovey the entire day yesterday. This morning, Hu Tian received a call. After breakfast, she went to school to settle some matters. Meanwhile, Lin Fan returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa. As he was bored, he picked up his phone and prepared to play with it. At this moment, he saw the 200,000 red packets displayed on the screen. Lin Fan¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he muttered, ¡°I¡¯ve been out for the past two days and haven¡¯t opened these 200,000 red packets and five platinum packets. ¡°Now I can open them and see what I can get.¡± At this point, Lin Fan¡¯s tone was filled with anticipation. After all, he had never opened a platinum packet before. The 200,000 red packets were also a number that he had never accumulated before. ¡°Open the platinum packets!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯re now the founder of the Qing Hong Sect.] When Lin Fan caught sight of this, he could not help but reveal a doubtful look. What was this? [The Qing Hong Sect: The Qing Hong Sect, once the largest sect, is now the largest financial group in the world. Its headquarters are located in America! With this identity, you can show your nobility! You¡¯ll be even more charming!] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan could not help but click his tongue. Then, Lin Fan opened another platinum packet. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 80 million yuan.] 80 million yuan? How could a platinum packet give out such trash? Lin Fan shook his head helplessly and continued to open the platinum packets. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 90 million yuan.] Trash again! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Plant Growth Water.] Plants Growth Water. What was this? Lin Fan was puzzled as he focused his attention on it. [Plant Growth Water: A magical potion that allows plants to grow rapidly after being used.] Make plants grow faster? It did not seem to be of much use. Then, Lin Fan turned his attention to the last platinum packet. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a dust jacket.] No way! Just this? [Dust jacket: After wearing it, your clothes and body will no longer be stained with dirt. At the same time, it has the function of preventing fire and water. Dustless and clean, full of charm!] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. This was pretty good. [Do you want to take out the dust jacket?] ¡°Yes!¡± The next moment, a white robe that was as thin as a strand of hair appeared in front of Lin Fan. He wore it with curiosity. In the next moment, the white clothes melted into his original clothes like water. Lin Fan could not help but click his tongue. ¡°As expected of the system! Amazing!¡± Then, Lin Fan placed his attention on the 200,000 normal red packets. At this moment, his phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was the director of the Institute of Science, Feng Zhixiang. ¡°Professor Lin, you invented prosthetic limbs again?!¡± As soon as he picked up the call, an excited shout sounded from the other end. Lin Fan rubbed his ears and said, ¡°Again? This should be the first time I created a prosthetic limb, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s really you,! You¡¯re really amazing!¡± Feng Zhixiang shouted again. Although he had already received the report from the relevant departments about Qinqin Toy Factory, after receiving Lin Fan¡¯s affirmation, he could not help but feel extremely excited. ¡°Director Feng, don¡¯t be too agitated. Be careful of your health,¡± Lin Fan reminded him. After all, Feng Zhixiang was considered an old man. Great sorrow and joy were taboo. What if something bad happened to him? Lin Fan would feel a little guilty. Chapter 440 - 440 Spending a Billion, Earning Five Trillion! 440 Spending a Billion, Earning Five Trillion! Feng Zhixiang did not care about Lin Fan¡¯s words at all. He continued to laugh excitedly. After a while¡­ ¡°Professor Lin, the Jiangbei branch of the Institute of Science is ready. I wonder if you have time to come over and give us some guidance?¡± His words were filled with anticipation. Even though Feng Zhixiang had seen Lin Fan a few times, he only took away Lin Fan¡¯s products each time and never got to chat much with him. Of course, Feng Zhixiang knew that even if he chatted with Lin Fan, he probably would not be able to get anything out of it. However, if Lin Fan was willing to go to the Institute of Science, it would be completely different. There were many academicians there. They were knowledgeable and could talk to Lin Fan about many things. In addition, this was something that the academicians had been looking forward to. Lin Fan understood what Feng Zhixiang was thinking. He was also willing to give some pointers to the academicians. This was because, in Lin Fan¡¯s eyes, it was this group of people that allowed the people of Hua Nation to live stable, safe, and happy lives. Lin Fan felt that he did not have much to do today anyway. Thus, he said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go over later.¡± ¡°Really? That¡¯s great!¡± Feng Zhixiang shouted excitedly. Lin Fan heard the cheers from the other end of the phone. After hanging up, Lin Fan could not help but smile and shake his head. Then, he turned his attention back to the 200,000 normal red packets. ¡°Collect them all!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 2 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a one yuan critical hit card.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 10% shares of Maotai Liquor.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a double shares coupon.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 51% of Yi Ke Real Estate¡¯s shares.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 51% of Wansheng Group¡¯s shares.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained Agreement Hospital.] ¡­. With 200,000 red packets, Lin Fan received a total of 21,049,801 yuan. He also got a one yuan critical hit card, which meant that if he spent one yuan, Lin Fan could get one billion yuan. The market value of Maotai Liquor exceeded two trillion yuan. 10% of the shares would be 200 billion yuan! Lin Fan used the two double shares coupons on Little Tanuki and Penguin. Originally, Lin Fan held 40% of the shares of the Ah-Ri Corporation and Penguin Corporation. After doubling them, they became 80%! In other words, his shares in the two companies instantly increased by 40%! One had to know¡­ The market value of Little Tanuki and Penguin both exceeded five trillion! That meant he owned a cumulative total of four trillion! Yi Ke Real Estate was the largest real estate company in Hua Nation, with a market value of about 200 billion. 51% of the shares meant 100 billion. Wansheng Group was one of the top food and beverage companies in the world. Its market value was about 200 billion, and 51% of its shares were also 100 billion. Agreement Hospital was the largest private hospital in Hua Nation, with an estimated market value of more than 100 billion! ¡­ All of these were from Lin Fan opening 200,000 red packets. The total value was close to five trillion yuan! These 200,000 red packets were all from Lin Fan spending two billion to buy a toy factory! What did it feel like to spend two billion and earn five trillion? Lin Fan was the one experiencing it! He looked at the red packets on the screen and could not help but smile. After a while, he collected his thoughts and drove the Cullinan away. ¡­ In the Dongcheng area of Jiangbei, in a beautiful location. Last year, the Jiangbei government invested three billion yuan here to build a sizable office building and factory. Originally, they were prepared to invite investment from the government. For this¡­ they even made a public announcement and made several advertisements. Some companies also expressed their willingness. However, just a few days ago, the investment promotion work came to an abrupt end. This was because the office building and factory area had been taken over by the Institute of Science. At this moment, Feng Zhixiang, several academicians, and many staff members stood in front of the entrance of the Institute of Science. They waited quietly. Just as everyone was looking ahead¡­ A tall and sturdy car drove over. It was Lin Fan¡¯s Cullinan. Lin Fan also saw Feng Zhixiang and the others standing at the entrance. He slowly stopped the car. Feng Zhixiang welcomed him with a smile and said, ¡°Professor Lin, welcome to the Jiangbei branch of the Institute of Science!¡± Even though Feng Zhixiang had already told everyone that Lin Fan was very young, the academicians were still surprised when they saw him. He was simply too young. Who would have thought that it was such a young man who had solved several world-class mathematics problems, invented the earthquake prediction device, super battery, carbon-based photolithographic machine, human islet recovery drug, gaming helmet, artificial limbs, and so on? He had achieved a series of things that shocked the world! The academicians were stunned for a moment before they said, ¡°Professor Lin, welcome to the Jiangbei branch of the Institute of Science.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°You didn¡¯t have to wait at the door.¡± Feng Zhixiang said, ¡°You¡¯ve made such a great contribution to the academic world, and even to the entire world. What¡¯s the big deal if we just wait at the door? This is what we should do.¡± All the academicians nodded. Obviously, they agreed with him. Then, Lin Fan walked in with Feng Zhixiang and the other academicians. After a while, they arrived at the laboratory where the carbon-based photolithographic machine was displayed. An academician wearing gold-rimmed glasses finally could not help but say, ¡°Professor Lin, may I ask you some questions?¡± Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°Sure.¡± After all, the reason he came here was to answer their questions. The academician with gold-rimmed glasses quickly said, ¡°Professor Lin, how did you make the purity of carbon nanotubes reach 99.9999999%?¡± Lin Fan replied, ¡°High electromagnetic purification¡­¡± The gold-rimmed glasses academician¡¯s cloudy eyes lit up slightly, and a look of realization appeared on his face. The other academicians nodded. Then, they quickly asked the questions that they had been puzzled about. Lin Fan did not keep secrets from them and gave them detailed answers. Every time, Lin Fan did not just answer the questions. He also explained all the knowledge related to the problem, and the academicians were fascinated. At first, when they saw Lin Fan¡¯s young appearance, they were shocked. At this moment, their gazes toward Lin Fan were filled with respect and admiration! They looked like outstanding students who had met a knowledgeable teacher. One had to know¡­ these were the top scientists in the country and even the world! Every single one of them stood out in the industry, and they were all figures of great stature. Now, they were treating a young man in his 20s as their teacher. If word of this got out, who knew how many people¡¯s jaws would drop? Chapter 441 - 441 Guidance; Fiery! 441 Guidance; Fiery! As the academicians raised their questions, they were answered one by one. At this moment, Feng Zhixiang, who had not spoken for a long time, said, ¡°Professor Lin, we want to develop a military game for the gaming helmet. Is there any shortcut?¡± After experiencing the power of the gaming helmet, Feng Zhixiang had this idea. After all, the gaming helmet could simulate the real world and let people enter the game world. If they had a military game, they could let the soldiers enter it to simulate combat. Then, it would definitely increase the combat experience of the soldiers by several folds. Unfortunately¡­ It was too complicated to design a game for the gaming helmet. Even though Hua Nation had many computer experts and Lin Fan had given them the rights to develop, it was still an extremely difficult matter. Now, Lin Fan had finally arrived. He naturally had to seize the opportunity to ask. After all, the sooner a military game was developed, the sooner the country could increase its strength. This was definitely a big deal! Lin Fan also understood Feng Zhixiang¡¯s thoughts. He thought for a moment and said, ¡°If you can provide me with all the data you need for the various weapons in the game, it shouldn¡¯t be long before I can give you a military game.¡± ¡°Really? That¡¯s great! I¡¯ll get someone to send you the data later!¡± Feng Zhixiang said excitedly. If someone else wanted all the weapon data, even if it was the weapon data for the game, Feng Zhixiang would definitely refuse. This was because it would inevitably involve some secrets. However, if it was Lin Fan, then there was no problem at all. He was a national treasure. From a certain perspective, his authority was higher than his. He knew most of the secrets already. Then, Feng Zhixiang said, ¡°Oh right, that prosthetic limb¡­ I heard that there¡¯s even a higher version of this?¡± Obviously, the higher version he was talking about was Hu Shaodong¡¯s prosthetic legs. Even though this had only happened a few days ago, the Hu family had an official background, so this matter was soon known. Regarding this¡­ Lin Fan was not too surprised. ¡°Yes.¡± He nodded. ¡°That version will make people¡¯s physical strength become too strong. It might not be a good thing for the world.¡± Feng Zhixiang also understood the key point. He nodded repeatedly and then said, ¡°Professor Lin, could they be used on a small number of soldiers who got injured in training accidents?¡± When he said this, a look of anticipation appeared on his face. He had already seen the changes in Hu Shaodong after he was fitted with the higher-version prosthetic limbs. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had become a superman. What would happen if all the disabled soldiers were fitted with such high-end prosthetics? Just thinking about it made Feng Zhixiang¡¯s heart burn. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°That¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll send over a hundred high-end artificial limbs.¡± ¡°Alright, alright! Thank you, Professor Lin!¡± Feng Zhixiang shouted excitedly. Then, the academicians started asking questions again. From computers to chemistry, from chemistry to biology, from biology to physics¡­ Lin Fan answered almost all the questions without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, the sun slowly set. After a day of seeking answers, the academicians looked at Lin Fan with even more admiration and respect. They finally understood what an all-rounded genius was! After Lin Fan had dinner at the Institute of Science, he did not want to stay any longer. After saying goodbye, he turned around and prepared to leave. At this moment, Feng Zhixiang seemed to have thought of something and quickly said, ¡°By the way, Professor Lin, the higher-ups want you to be the dean of the Institute of Science. What do you think?¡± Lin Fan waved his hand, ¡°No thanks. I don¡¯t have time to come here, and I don¡¯t have time to manage it.¡± He hated trouble. It was only because he was bored today, so he came over to take a look and help out a little. However, if he had to stay here forever¡­ Forget it. Feng Zhixiang said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to stay here all the time. I¡¯m just giving you this position. You can act the same as before. It¡¯s just a title.¡± Lin Fan said indifferently, ¡°That¡¯s fine.¡± Seeing that Lin Fan had agreed, Feng Zhixiang smiled. No matter what, Lin Fan¡¯s relationship with the Institute of Science had become closer. At this moment, Lin Fan asked in a curious tone, ¡°By the way, you mentioned the position just now. If I¡¯m the dean of the institute, what level is that?¡± Feng Zhixiang said, ¡°Oh, our institute is one level higher than the key national universities. You¡¯re the dean, so you¡¯re one level higher than the chancellors of the key national universities.¡± When Lin Fan heard this, he blinked his eyes. A higher rank than the chancellor of a key university? Even Lin Fan could not help but let out a smile. Lin Fan was in a good mood as he drove toward the Coiling Dragon Villa. That night, he slept very soundly. ¡­ Just as Lin Fan was sleeping soundly, the outside world was abuzz with discussions. First of all, the founder of the leading real estate company, Yi Ke Real Estate, suddenly sold his shares and resigned from the position of chairman, causing a thousand waves! Immediately after, Tanuki Group and Penguin Group also experienced a huge change. Their stocks rose inexplicably, and they were vaguely heading toward the direction of six trillion. Then, Dahua Group held a press conference for the gaming helmet and announced that they would recruit 100 players from all over the world to enter the game world. The changes in Yi Ke, Little Tanuki Group, and Penguin Group only caused changes in the financial and related fields. Meanwhile, the news of the gaming helmet had exploded the entire internet. Countless comments fell like rain. Moon in the Treetops: [Has the gaming helmet to enter the gaming world really been invented?] Lin Xiang: [Awesome!] Deep Sea: [100 players! I¡¯m a gaming expert. Please choose me!] Low Profile Not Bro: [Can we really enter the game world? Could such a thing really appear? Could it be a gimmick?] Stone: [Commenter above, did you not see who invented the gaming helmet? It¡¯s God Lin Fan! Do you think it¡¯s possible to invent an earthquake prediction device? Is it possible to invent the super battery? Is it possible to invent carbon-based chips? God Lin Fan turned all of these things into relaity!] Sleepless: [That¡¯s right! Lin Fan is a god!] Empty Man: [Recruiting only 100 players in the world. That¡¯s too few. I don¡¯t think I have any hope of being selected. I just hope that I can buy it as soon as possible.] ¡­ On the internet, there were hot discussions about Yi Ke Real Estate, Penguin Group, Little Tanuki Group, and the gaming helmet. In a top-class villa in America, there was also a heated discussion going on. Chapter 442 - 442 What Do You Like About Him? Hes So Handsome! 442 What Do You Like About Him? He¡¯s So Handsome! There were good-looking figures in branded clothes. The men and women were wearing traditional costumes, looking very imposing. The atmosphere was extremely solemn. After a while, a middle-aged man finally spoke, ¡°Old Master, is that young man called Lin Fan really the direct descendant of our Qing Hong Sect¡¯s ancestor? So many years have passed. Now, this man suddenly appeared. Could it be¡­¡± Soon, someone echoed. ¡°Yeah, this is too much of a coincidence.¡± ¡°And he¡¯s so young.¡± ¡­ The old man sitting in the main seat raised his eyebrows and shouted, ¡°What? Do you think I¡¯m old and muddleheaded? ¡°Cough, cough, cough!¡± The old man seemed to be so angry that he could not help but cough violently. The hearts of everyone below trembled slightly, and they hurriedly said, ¡°We don¡¯t dare.¡± ¡°Old Master, please take care of your health.¡± ¡­ ¡°I asked you to come here because I want you to look for some news regarding the ancestor¡¯s direct successor! Tell me immediately after you find out! Then, follow me to pay my respects. I¡¯m not asking you to suspect me!¡± As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the entire venue seemed to have become heavy. Everyone subconsciously bowed and said respectfully, ¡°Yes, Old Master!¡± ¡­ Lin Fan was completely oblivious to all of this. In the blink of an eye, the next morning arrived. Lin Fan had not been to school for a few days. In the past, when he was a student, he did not think much of it. Now that he was a professor, he felt that it would not be good if he was absent for a long time. Therefore, after breakfast, Lin Fan drove the Cullinan straight to Jiangbei University. Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Nie Zhenjiang, Hao Zhiwu, Jiang Chaoqun, Liu Qianqian, and the others seemed to be doing just fine on their own. Even without a teacher present, they were still very serious about reading and solving problems. When Lin Fan walked into the office, it was still the cat, Lil White, that was the first to notice him. ¡°Meow! ¡°Master, you¡¯re finally here!¡± After an excited cry, Lil White jumped down from Hao Zhiwu¡¯s shoulder and came to Lin Fan¡¯s feet. It kept making a series of gurgling sounds. ¡°Master, I¡¯ve missed you. ¡°Can you give me something delicious?¡± Lin Fan smiled and patted the cat¡¯s head. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give you something to eat.¡± As he spoke, he took out a bag of premium beef cat food and placed it in front of Lil White. The cat, Lil White, let out another pur. ¡°Delicious! It¡¯s so delicious! ¡°Thank you, Master!¡± Lil White¡¯s actions and voice quickly caught Hao Zhiwu¡¯s attention. ¡°Professor Lin!¡± Hao Zhiwu shouted. Then¡­ Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, and Liu Qianqian all stopped reading and looked at Lin Fan. All of a sudden, he was being watched by so many students. Perhaps Lin Fan felt that he had not fulfilled his responsibility as a professor, so his face could not help but turn red. Xia Bing and Xia Xue each excitedly took out a bottle of energy drink from their backpacks and handed them to Lin Fan. Lin Fan reflexively opened the two bottles and took a sip of each. After taking two mouthfuls, Lin Fan became even more relaxed and calm. At this moment, Hao Zhiwu came in front of Lin Fan and said, ¡°Professor Lin, I heard that Dahua Group is recruiting 100 players from all over the world? Can I join?¡± Hao Zhiwu¡¯s face was filled with anticipation when he said this. Yesterday, when he saw this message, he was so excited that he did not sleep a wink. It was because this kind of gaming helmet had always been his dream. He had never felt so close to his dream. ¡°They¡¯re recruiting players?¡± Lin Fan asked. It seemed that they had already made a batch of gaming helmets. ¡°If you want to go, then go. I¡¯ll go back and tell Ran Fei.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Hao Zhiwu shouted excitedly. He opened his arms and wanted to give Lin Fan a bear hug. However, Lin Fan quickly dodged to the side. ¡°My sexual orientation is normal!¡± This sentence almost choked Hao Zhiwu. He calmed down and said, ¡°Thank you, Professor Lin.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head and bent down to brew a pot of Spirit Tea. As the fragrant Spirit Tea entered his stomach, Lin Fan¡¯s entire body felt much more refreshed. ¡°Have you encountered any problems that you don¡¯t understand these past few days?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Professor Lin, take a look at my answer to the second question,¡± Hao Zhiwu said proudly. As he spoke, he handed over a stack of draft paper. Lin Fan quickly flipped through it. After a few seconds, he said, ¡°Although the process is a little complicated, the answer is correct. Not bad!¡± After Hao Zhiwu heard this, the smug look on his face became even stronger. No matter what, his answer to the second question was correct. ¡°Why are you so smug?!¡± Liu Qianqian pouted. ¡°Xia Bing and Xia Xue solved the second problem a day earlier than you!¡± When Lin Fan heard this, his eyes could not help but light up. He looked at Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s computers. As expected¡­ On the screen of their computers were the data of the third problem. Clearly, they had already solved the second problem. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Xia Bing, Xia Xue, well done!¡± Although it was just a simple compliment, Xia Bing and Xia Xue seemed to be eating candy. Their hearts were full of sweetness. Seeing this¡­ Liu Qianqian could not help but shake her head. She thought, ¡®It¡¯s over. Xia Bing and Xia Xue have already fallen for him.¡¯ ¡°I¡¯ve also answered the second problem.¡± ¡°I¡¯m almost there too,¡± said Liu Qianqian. Just as Liu Qianqian said, she was almost there. In just two hours, she came to Lin Fan with a stack of draft papers. Lin Fan quickly flipped through and said, ¡°Good answer. Continue to work hard on the third problem.¡± Liu Qianqian could not help but smile. The atmosphere in the office became even more heated. Nie Zhenjiang and Jiang Chaoqun had not solved the second problem yet. Xia Bing, Xia Xue, and Hao Zhiwu wanted to quickly solve the third problem. Everyone was filled with fighting spirit. Lin Fan was the only one lying on his chair, playing games leisurely. ¡­ A day passed in the blink of an eye. Xia Bing, Xia Xue, and Liu Qianqian walked toward the dormitory together. Liu Qianqian could not help but say, ¡°Xia Bing, Xia Xue, other than Professor Lin¡¯s profound knowledge, what else do you like about him?¡± Liu Qianqian felt that Xia Bing and Xia Xue were her classmates and friends. She should advise them not to sink too deep. That was because Lin Fan already had a girlfriend. Xia Bing and Xia Xue did not reply. On the basketball court not far away, the sound of basketball was heard. One of the boys accidentally threw the basketball out of the court, and it flew into the distance. At this moment, Lin Fan happened to pass by. He caught the basketball. The guy shouted, ¡°Friend, please throw the basketball over. Thank you!¡± Lin Fan did not even turn his head around as he tossed it out casually. The basketball formed a beautiful parabola in the air. In the end, it landed steadily into the basket. Silence! The entire basketball court was silent! Liu Qianqian¡¯s eyes widened, and she could not help but say, ¡°He¡¯s so handsome!¡± Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s beautiful eyes stared at Lin Fan¡¯s back without blinking. They were infatuated. Chapter 443 - 443 Arriving at Modu; Dinner! 443 Arriving at Modu; Dinner! It rained almost every day for the next few days. However, Lin Fan went to the office on time every day. With Lin Fan¡¯s help, Nie Zhenjiang and Jiang Chaoqun also solved the second problem. As for the third problem, no one could answer it successfully. This was because the difficulty of the third problem was even greater than the first and second problems combined. In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend. When the window was opened, one could see the dazzling sun. Finally, the sky cleared up. ¡°It¡¯s not raining anymore!¡± ¡°Delicious worms! They¡¯re too delicious!¡± ¡°I ate three.¡± ¡°I ate four!¡± ¡°I¡¯m so full!¡± Outside the window, a few sparrows chirped happily. Lin Fan smiled and shook his head. He sat on the soft sofa and casually scrolled through his phone. At this moment, a piece of news entered his eyes. ¡®From First Love to Marriage.¡¯ After seeing this, Lin Fan could not help but think of Qin Yuxuan. He muttered, ¡°It seems like I haven¡¯t seen her for a while. Anyway, I have nothing to do today. I¡¯ll go to Modu and give her a surprise!¡± He did as he said. Lin Fan drove the Cullinan to the airport and bought a first-class ticket to Modu. After sleeping for an hour on the plane, Lin Fan rested up and arrived at Modu. He called a taxi and arrived at the Global Financial Building. Lin Fan had been here a few times. In fact, the entire building already belonged to him. However, now that he looked up at the towering building again, he could not help but sigh in admiration. ¡°How imposing!¡± Then, Lin Fan took the elevator to the 78th floor. The huge office was filled with white-collar workers in suits and leather shoes. Obviously, they were all very busy. From another perspective, the company¡¯s business was very good. However, this was normal. One had to know¡­ Lin Fan was the boss of the Global Financial Building. Just the companies that rented the office here could bring a lot of business to the investment company. Moreover¡­ Lin Fan had even contacted Little Tanuki Group, Penguin Group, Alphabet, Silver Mountain Group, Tiantian Bank, and other companies to help take care of them. How could the investment company¡¯s business not be good? At this moment, Senior Lu walked out of the office with a stack of documents. When she saw Lin Fan, she was shocked. ¡°Lin Fan, when did you arrive?¡± ¡°Are you looking for Chairwoman Qin? But she¡¯s on a business trip!¡± In the past, Senior Lu, Senior Fan, and the others would call Qin Yuxuan Yuxuan. However, as the company developed, their titles were changed, especially in public. This was because it would be easier to establish the other party¡¯s prestige and status in the company. ¡°She went on a business trip?¡± Lin Fan was stunned. He did not tell Qin Yuxuan in advance because he wanted to give her a surprise. Now¡­ it seemed he had made a wasted trip. ¡°Yeah, but she should be back tomorrow.¡± She was coming back tomorrow? Fortunately, it was not a wasted trip. Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll look for her tomorrow.¡± Then¡­ Lin Fan did not stay in the Global Financial Building for long. He walked leisurely on the winding sidewalk. Along the way, he saw towering buildings, noisy streets, boisterous crowds, and laughing couples¡­ It was a different feeling. At this moment, a rich fragrance drifted over. It turned out that he had unknowingly arrived in front of a restaurant called Bright Moon Restaurant. Even though Lin Fan had never eaten here before, he had heard of this name. This was because this was the oldest restaurant in Modu and was extremely famous. Lin Fan sniffed the fragrance in the air and recalled the introduction in the news. His appetite was whetted. ¡°Lin Fan?¡± A crisp voice suddenly sounded behind him. Lin Fan turned around and looked over. His face was filled with shock as well. It was a woman in a T-shirt who looked very sunny. ¡°Cousin!¡± That was right! She was Lin Fan¡¯s cousin, Zhang Ting. A long time ago, Lin Fan had heard that Zhang Ting was working in Modu. Unexpectedly, they actually met here today. ¡°Lil Fan, when did you come to Modu?¡± Zhang Ting asked happily. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± ¡°I just arrived today.¡± ¡°Is that so? That¡¯s good! Today, I¡¯ll take you out for a feast!¡± Zhang Ting said happily. Then, she pointed at Bright Moon Restaurant and said, ¡°Today, my class is holding a class reunion here! You should have heard of it, right? The food here is very delicious!¡± As she spoke, she could not help but swallow her saliva. It was as if he had already seen the delicious food. Initially, Lin Fan wanted to go in and eat. Now that he could go with his cousin, it was good too. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Then I¡¯m in luck today.¡± The two of them talked as they walked into Bright Moon Restaurant. It had to be said that Bright Moon Restaurant was indeed a very famous restaurant. There were red sandalwood tables and chairs everywhere, as well as decorations with clear patterns¡­Everything was luxurious and unique. In the hall, a large group of young people in their 20s were gathered together and chatting. When Zhang Ting and Lin Fan approached, a round-faced man smiled and said, ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this our class belle, Beauty Zhang?¡± Following that, many people turned their gazes to Zhang Ting. Xue Meili, who was wearing Chanel clothes and originally at the center of attention, had a flash of displeasure on her face. When Xue Meili saw Lin Fan beside Zhang Ting, her expression changed. ¡°Zhang Ting, the person beside you¡­ Is he your boyfriend? Why don¡¯t you introduce us?¡± The others also cast curious gazes at him. Some people echoed. ¡°Yeah, hurry up and introduce us.¡± ¡°It¡¯s rare for Beauty Zhang to bring a boy over.¡± Obviously, they all wanted to know the answer. Zhang Ting smiled. ¡°You¡¯ve misunderstood. He¡¯s not my boyfriend. His name is Lin Fan. He¡¯s my cousin.¡± Hearing this, some of the students heaved a sigh of relief. A look of disappointment flashed across Xue Meili¡¯s face. She used to have a bad relationship with Zhang Ting. Originally, she wanted to use this opportunity to step on Zhang Ting, but now, she was somewhat powerless. At this moment, her boyfriend, who had just gone to the bathroom, walked over. Xue Meili¡¯s expression changed again. She held her boyfriend¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Since he¡¯s Zhang Ting¡¯s cousin, then he¡¯s my cousin too. ¡°Lin Fan, you work in Modu too, right? If you can¡¯t find a good job, you can tell me. ¡°My boyfriend owns a company. He might be able to help.¡± Chapter 444 - 444 Imperial Private Room; Imitations! 444 Imperial Private Room; Imitations! Lin Fan said, ¡°That¡¯s not necessary. I¡¯m still studying.¡± ¡± I see.¡± Xue Meili suddenly understood. ¡°You can come to me if you want to find a better job after you graduate. ¡°After all, you¡¯re Zhang Ting¡¯s cousin.¡± ¡°Right, Zhang Ting. I heard that you work in a factory?¡± ¡°Factories are all places where uneducated migrant workers work. It¡¯s too tiring! Why don¡¯t I ask my boyfriend to arrange for you to work in his company?¡± Then, Xue Meili said coquettishly, ¡°Kaijun, can you arrange a job for Zhang Ting?¡± Liu Kaijun said, ¡°Zhang Ting is your former classmate, so, of course, there¡¯s no problem.¡± Zhang Ting was very unhappy. What did she mean by saying that factories were places where migrant workers worked? The factory she worked in was equipped with modern equipment and required professional skills. In addition, what about migrant workers? She was the daughter of a migrant worker! However, Zhang Ting remembered that it was a class reunion. She could not make the situation too ugly. She said, ¡°I think working in the factory is good. I can apply what I learned in university.¡± A few students beside seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a little off. They said, ¡°Everyone seems to be here. Then let¡¯s hurry up and order!¡± ¡°Yes, let¡¯s order! I¡¯ve long heard of Bright Moon Restaurant. It¡¯s rare for me to come here for a meal today.¡± ¡°I¡¯m almost drooling.¡± ¡­ ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to Meili¡¯s boyfriend,¡± said a man with a pointy mouth and ape-like cheeks. ¡°Otherwise, we wouldn¡¯t have had the chance to gather and eat here.¡± This was the truth. This was because most people who wanted to come to Bright Moon Restaurant for a meal would have to make an appointment for at least a month. Their class reunion was decided two days ago. Liu Kaijun used some family connections to successfully book a table. ¡°It¡¯s Meili¡¯s class reunion. Of course, we have to come to the best place in Modu.¡± ¡°In a while, please don¡¯t be polite with me. Order whatever you want. I¡¯ll pay for all the expenses today.¡± Instantly, everyone began to praise him. ¡°Meili, your boyfriend is really not bad!¡± ¡°You found a good boyfriend!¡± ¡­ Xue Meili¡¯s face was also full of smiles. She did not forget to throw a smug look at Zhang Ting. ¡­ While everyone was chatting, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes passed by not far away. Wherever they passed, the waiters bowed and greeted respectfully, ¡°Hello, President Wang.¡± President Wang did not seem to hear him and just walked forward. When he turned his head, he saw Lin Fan. He saw the dragon-shaped ring on Lin Fan¡¯s thumb. His heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself, ¡®The direct descendant of the Qing Hong Sect¡¯s founder!¡¯ President Wang almost reflexively went forward to greet him respectfully. However, he soon felt that something was wrong. This was because he could not directly greet the descendant of the Qing Hong Sect¡¯s founder. After thinking for a while, he called the lobby manager over and said, ¡°Go and invite the people over there to the imperial private room! ¡°In addition, send the most precious wine and delicacies over. You must treat him well!¡± The lobby manager was instantly shocked. Giving good wine and delicacies was nothing. When Bright Moon Restaurant received some big shots, they would also do similar things. However, the imperial private room¡­ This was something that had never been opened to guests before! Were they actually going to invite these guests in? The lobby manager seemed to be in disbelief and asked, ¡°Uhh¡­ President Wang, you just said that you want to invite them to the imperial private room?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± President Wang nodded. ¡°Remember, you must treat him well!¡± After receiving President Wang¡¯s affirmation, the lobby manager immediately understood that there was definitely an amazing existence in that group of people. ¡°Yes,¡± he said solemnly. President Wang nodded his head in satisfaction. He looked at Lin Fan and the dragon ring around his finger. Only then did he quickly walk out. ¡­ Xue Meili, Liu Kaijun, and the others were still chatting around the table. At this moment, the lobby manager walked in respectfully and said, ¡°Honored guests, we have prepared the imperial private room for you. Please head over.¡± Everyone was stunned. ¡°Kaijun, you¡¯re amazing! You actually booked a private room for us!¡± Xue Meili said coquettishly. As she spoke, she kept rubbing her body against Liu Kaijun¡¯s body. In fact¡­ When the lobby manager told them to go to the imperial private room, Liu Kaijun was also stunned. He knew better than anyone else how difficult it was to book a private room in Bright Moon Restaurant. The Liu family could pay a certain price to book a place in the hall that ordinary people could only book a month in advance. However, even if the Liu family wanted to book a private room here, they would not be able to book it. Therefore, when he booked the table two days ago, Liu Kaijun did not even think about booking a private room. What was the situation now? Originally, Liu Kaijun wanted to ask the lobby manager if there was a mistake. However, after hearing his girlfriend¡¯s words, he felt a little smug. He smiled and said, ¡°Of course, we have to eat in a private room since it¡¯s your class reunion.¡± ¡°Kaijun, you¡¯re amazing!¡± Xue Meili said. This voice turned Liu Kaijun on. Then, under the lead of the lobby manager, everyone went straight to the imperial private room. There were many ink paintings and scrolls hanging on the jade walls. The entire private room was filled with a luxurious and elegant aura, making people feel intoxicated. ¡°Please take a rest,¡± the lobby manager said respectfully. ¡°We¡¯ll serve the food soon.¡± After saying that, he slowly walked out. Everyone could not help but discuss in low voices. ¡°This private room is so special.¡± ¡°Look¡­ Qi Baishi¡¯s name is actually written on the prawn painting on the wall. Could this be Qi Baishi¡¯s authentic work?¡± ¡°And this scroll. The signature below is the famous calligrapher of modern times, Wu Changshuo!¡± ¡°Do you think these are authentic?¡± Everyone looked at the painting and the scroll, and all of them were amazed. Then, they could not help but look at Liu Junkai. Obviously, they wanted to ask for his opinion. In everyone¡¯s opinion, Liu Junkai¡¯s family had a few companies, so he must have a lot of knowledge. In addition, this private room was also reserved by him, so he might know something. ¡°Kaijun, are these paintings authentic?¡± Xue Meili asked. In fact, when Liu Kaijun saw these paintings, he was also amazed. After hearing Xue Meili¡¯s voice, he pretended to be calm and said with a smile, ¡°Of course, these aren¡¯t authentic, but they¡¯re still pretty good imitations. ¡°The authentic piece is probably worth hundreds of millions. Even Bright Moon Restaurant wouldn¡¯t dare to casually display it.¡± Chapter 445 - 445 Get Out; Greet Mr. Lin! 445 Get Out; Greet Mr. Lin! Hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense. They nodded in agreement and could not help but praise. ¡°They¡¯re indeed very good imitations.¡± ¡°This private room is really decorated with a unique style.¡± ¡°Antique!¡± ¡­ Xue Meili listened to everyone¡¯s praises and became even more pleased with herself. She nestled in Liu Kaijun¡¯s arms and said happily, ¡°Kaijun, you¡¯re amazing!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll let you experience how amazing I am again tonight.¡± Liu Kaijun chuckled. Xue Meili lightly hammered Liu Kaijun¡¯s shoulder and said shyly, ¡°Big bad guy¡­¡± Liu Kaijun was even happier. At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside. Following that, Australian lobster, Buddha Jumps Over The Wall, Taishi Snake Soup, top-grade abalone, top-grade bird¡¯s nest, caviar, truffle sashimi, M9 beef were served. Louis XIII, 1993 Lafite, 1992 Roman¨¦e-Conti, and premium Maotai were also served¡­ All kinds of expensive dishes and drinks were brought in. Seeing this¡­ Everyone, including Liu Kaijun, had their mouths wide open, and their faces were blank. Some people could not help but swallow their saliva. They had never seen so much delicious food and wine before. Liu Kaijun was the first to react and shouted, ¡°Waiter, did you send these to the wrong place? We didn¡¯t order all this.¡± One had to know that this was Bright Moon Restaurant! The dishes here were indeed delicious, but the prices were also far more expensive than in other places. Just the dishes in front of them alone would probably cost more than 100,000 yuan. As for the wine¡­ Any bottle would cost more than 100,000. Here, there were several bottles! Based on this calculation, this meal would probably cost tens of millions! Although the Liu family did have a few companies and a little money, Liu Kaijun could not afford a meal that cost tens of millions. At this moment, the lobby manager walked in and said with a smile, ¡°This is the food and wine that our restaurant gives to all the distinguished guests for free. I hope that you¡¯ll be happy with these.¡± Everyone was stunned. Including Liu Kaijun. Free food and drinks. Moreover, they were all so expensive! This¡­ was simply unimaginable! Liu Kaijun was the first to react. He thought to himself, ¡®A while ago, Dad said that he might be working with the Chen family, one of the four great families in Modu. Could it be that they¡¯ve already signed the contract? No wonder Bright Moon Restaurant prepared a private room for me and sent so many dishes!¡¯ Thinking of this, Liu Kaijun raised his neck and said, ¡°I see. Bright Moon Restaurant is very thoughtful.¡± ¡°This is what we should do,¡± the lobby manager said repeatedly. ¡°Please enjoy your meal and drinks. If you need anything else, please let us know at any time.¡± After saying that, he brought the waiters out. After they left, everyone in the private room looked at Liu Kaijun. Obviously, they also understood that the reason why Bright Moon Restaurant gave them so much free food and wine was all because of him. Xue Meili threw herself into Liu Kaijun¡¯s arms and pressed her fiery lips against his. ¡°Kaijun, you¡¯re amazing!¡± Xue Meili knew that Liu Kaijun¡¯s family owned several small companies. However, judging from the current situation, it was definitely not as simple as a few small companies. At this moment, Xue Meili was extremely happy that she had chosen Liu Kaijun. Then, she looked at Zhang Ting with an extremely proud gaze. It was as if she was saying, ¡®Zhang Ting, weren¡¯t you good at your studies in the past? Weren¡¯t you called the class belle? How is it now? You¡¯re working in a factory!¡¯ Xue Meili seemed to feel that this was not enough and said, ¡°Zhang Ting, you have to eat and drink well today! This meal is probably equivalent to ten years¡¯ worth of your salary. In the future, you won¡¯t be able to eat anything like this.¡± Without any filter, she directly mocked her. Zhang Ting¡¯s expression became very ugly. Everyone wanted to preserve their dignity. Furthermore, she was with her former classmates and her cousin, Lin Fan. Lin Fan¡¯s face sank as well. He also knew that this was his cousin¡¯s class reunion, so he should not make the atmosphere too stiff. However, this woman had mocked his cousin several times in a row. He felt that there was no need for him to endure such a woman. Some people were truly shameless! Lin Fan shouted, ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about whether my cousin will be able to eat such things again in the future. But you definitely won¡¯t be able to.¡± Xue Meili did not expect that someone would dare to refute her. She shouted, ¡°What do you mean?!¡± Lin Fan looked at her coldly. ¡°What do I mean? Don¡¯t you understand?¡± Xue Meili could not help but shiver. This glance made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. A bone-piercing chill spread throughout her entire body. After a while, she came back to her senses. She hugged Liu Kaijun¡¯s arm and said coquettishly, ¡°Kaijun, look at him. He¡¯s basically cursing your Liu family.¡± Xue Meili was Liu Kaijun¡¯s boyfriend and future wife. To say that she could not eat these delicacies in the future was to say that the Liu family would be in decline. ¡°Everyone!¡± Liu Kaijun said in a deep voice. ¡°You¡¯re all Meili¡¯s former classmates, so I¡¯m willing to treat you well! ¡°But this doesn¡¯t mean that you can curse my Liu family as you wish!¡± At this point, Liu Kaijun shouted at Lin Fan, ¡°Get out of the building now and I won¡¯t hold anything against what you just said!¡± Liu Kaijun thought that his family had established a partnership with the Chen family, one of the four great families in Modu. Thus, he became arrogant. Therefore, when he spoke, he thought that he was extremely domineering. Get out? Lin Fan raised his brows. No one had ever said such words to him. At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside the corridor. Then, a large group of people walked in. Among them, there was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes as well as an old man with white hair and an extraordinary aura. When the students saw these people, their faces all revealed a hint of doubt. As for Liu Kaijun¡­ his heart thumped wildly. He was a Modu native. Although he had never met the patriarchs of the four great families in Modu, his father said that he wanted to cooperate with the Chen family not long ago. The Chen family was one of the four great families in Modu. For this reason, Liu Kaijun even specially asked about the Chen family¡¯s situation and saw a photo of the Chen family¡¯s head, Chen Xingwang. He could still clearly remember the look of admiration on his father¡¯s face when he was talking about Chen Xingwang, the head of the Chen family. Now, the Chen family¡¯s head, Chen Xingwang, was actually among this group of people. Furthermore, he was not standing at the front of the group, nor was he standing in the middle. Instead, he was standing respectfully beside an old man in white training clothes. This¡­ What was going on? Who were these people? Why did they come to the door of the private room? Just as Liu Kaijun was shocked and puzzled, this group of people all looked at Lin Fan. When they saw Lin Fan¡¯s appearance and the dragon-shaped ring on his hand¡­ They all bowed and said in an extremely respectful tone, ¡°Greetings, Mr. Lin!¡± Chapter 446 - 446 Punishment; Living on the Street! 446 Punishment; Living on the Street! Silence! The entire scene was silent! Zhang Ting and the other students did not know these people, but they were a little puzzled¡­ Why did all these people bow to Lin Fan and greet him in such a respectful tone? Liu Kaijun¡¯s heart was beating wildly like a drum. That was because Chen Xingwang was among those who were bowing! That was the head of the Chen family, one of the four great families in Modu! This¡­ What was going on? Liu Kaijun had a bad feeling. After a while, he stammered, ¡°Are you guys mistaken?¡± Was there a mistake? That was right! This must be the case! Lin Fan was only Xue Meili¡¯s cousin and a student! How could Chen Xingwang and the others be so respectful to him? There must be a mistake! A middle-aged man who was looking around outside the room heard the voice and could not help but look inside. Then, he ran in. He¡­ It was Liu Kaijun¡¯s father, Liu Wei. It turned out that Liu Wei happened to come to Bright Moon Restaurant for dinner today. Obviously, he was much more knowledgeable than his son, Liu Kaijun. He recognized the patriarchs of the four great families and their core members at a glance. However, Liu Wei did not dare to get close. He just watched from afar. It was because he knew that he did not have the right to get close. However¡­ Liu Wei was very curious about what the patriarchs and core members of the four families wanted to do. At this moment, he realized that they had actually walked into the imperial private room that had been sealed for a long time. They even bent down together¡­ They said to one of the young men, ¡°Greetings, Mr. Lin.¡± This scene almost made Liu Wei¡¯s jaw drop to the ground. One had to know¡­ Those were the patriarchs of the four great families! Mr. Lin? Since when did Modu have a big force with the surname Lin? Who was that young man?! Just as Liu Wei was in shock¡­ He suddenly saw his son, Liu Junkai, in the imperial private room. When did his son¡­ get to know such a mysterious big shot? Immediately after, Liu Wei heard his son say something. He asked if they had made a mistake¡­ What if¡­ His son unintentionally offended the other party? What should he do? In addition, at this time¡­ It seemed to be a good time to show his face in front of the four great families and that mysterious young man. Liu Wei hesitated for a moment before he quickly walked in. ¡°Brat, what¡¯s wrong? Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± The patriarchs and core members of the four great families were people with sharp eyes. Would they make a big fuss and make a mistake? Would that not be a joke? Then, Liu Wei smiled and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, my name is Liu Wei. I¡¯m sorry, my son Liu Kaijun doesn¡¯t recognize a True Dragon. Did he offend you in any way just now?¡± He reported his son¡¯s name and his own name. Obviously, he had deliberately shown his face in front of the four great families. Lin Fan glanced at Liu Wei and said, ¡°Offended? Not really.¡± Liu Wei was delighted. He did not offend him. In that case, was his son familiar with this mysterious young man? Was he a friend? Could it be that the opportunity for the Liu family to turn the tables had arrived?! Thinking of this, Liu Wei¡¯s heart was burning, and his heartbeat began to beat faster. He seemed to have seen the Liu family¡¯s prosperous development and bright future. At this moment, Lin Fan continued, ¡°He and his girlfriend kept mocking my cousin and then told me to get out of Bright Moon Restaurant.¡± He mocked the cousin of the Qing Hong Sect¡¯s patriarch! He wanted to kick the heir of the Qing Hong Sect out! Liu Kaijun¡­ How dare he? In an instant, the entire private room seemed to have turned into an ice cellar. The patriarchs of the four great families, as well as the core members¡­ all looked at Liu Wei and Liu Kaijun coldly. Liu Wei could not help but shiver. His entire body was instantly drenched in sweat. At this moment, his heart was filled with endless fear and regret. Why did he run out and announce his name just now? Why did he have such a son? It was over! He knew that he was completely finished! ¡­ Lin Fan did not bother about Liu Wei anymore. He turned to the four families and said, ¡°Are you looking for me because of the Qing Hong Sect?¡± Although they did not have the name of the Qing Hong Sect on them, Lin Fan had great senses. It was easy to guess¡­ They kept staring at the dragon-shaped ring on his finger. This ring¡­ He obtained it not long ago after he became the heir of the Qing Hong Sect. He was the sect master of the Qing Hong Sect. The Qing Hong Sect had a saying, ¡®Seeing the ring is like seeing the sect master.¡¯ Of course, Lin Fan did not really care about the Qing Hong Sect. He only thought that the ring was cool, so he wore it on his finger. When the people from the four great families heard this, their attitudes became even more respectful. ¡°Yes.¡± Liu Wei looked at the respectful expressions of the four families and became even more frightened. Lin Fan glanced at the room and said, ¡°Arrange a quiet place for me to eat with my cousin Zhang Ting. As for the other matters, we can talk about them after dinner.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Lin. Ms. Zhang, this way, please.¡± The head of the Wang family, Wang Tuanyuan, said respectfully. Then, Lin Fan and Zhang Ting walked in front. The people from the four great families were like the most loyal servants as they slowly followed behind. Soon, the spacious imperial private room became empty again. The people present for the class reunion were still in a daze. Chapter 447 - 447 Punishment; Living on the Street! (2) 447 Punishment; Living on the Street! (2) At this moment, Liu Kaijun stammered, ¡°Dad¡­ This¡­ I¡­ What should we do?¡± Now, when Liu Wei heard Liu Kaijun¡¯s voice, he felt frustrated. ¡°Don¡¯t call me dad!¡± He roared. ¡°I don¡¯t have a son like you! ¡°Bastard!¡± After saying that, he slapped Liu Kaijun¡¯s face. He seemed to still be angry and kicked Liu Kaijun to the ground. ¡°Bastard!¡± Then, he kicked a few more times. Seeing this¡­ Everyone was stunned and began to panic. ¡­ As for what was going on in the imperial private room, Lin Fan had no idea at all. At this moment¡­ He had been invited to the top floor of Bright Moon Restaurant by the four great families. Although it was not as luxurious as the imperial private room, it was more spacious and had a good view. The entire top floor had been completely cleared out, leaving only Lin Fan and Zhang Ting as guests. Looking out, one could see the rolling river, which was very magnificent. Soon, delicious food and precious wine were served. However, Zhang Ting did not touch her chopsticks or cup. She just looked at Lin Fan quietly. Back then, when Lin Fan¡¯s grandfather, Lin Liqiang, celebrated his birthday, the factory that Zhang Ting worked in was busy. Zhang Ting did not manage to rush back in time. She only called to congratulate Lin Liqiang on his birthday. Although she did not go to celebrate his birthday, Zhang Ting had also heard from the elders in her family¡­ Because of Lin Fan, many leaders of Qing City, Jiangbei, and even Jiang Province went to visit him that day. Regarding this¡­ Zhang Ting only listened and did not take it to heart. She knew most of the elders in the family liked to brag. They were probably just bragging. After all, Zhang Ting understood Lin Fan. Back then, his sister was sick, so he could not even take the college entrance examination or go to university¡­ After that, he just found a random job in Jiangbei. Under such circumstances, how could he possibly get the leaders of Qing City, Jiangbei, and Jiang Province to celebrate their grandfather¡¯s birthday together? She was not belittling Lin Fan, nor was she belittling her elders¡­ This was the truth. However, what was the situation now? Why would the people of Bright Moon Restaurant invite him and her former classmates to the luxurious imperial private room because of Lin Fan? At this moment, Zhang Ting also understood that the reason why she and her former classmates could go to the imperial private room was not because of Liu Kaijun. It was Lin Fan! Also, who were the people who came to the private room? Why were they so respectful to Lin Fan? Moreover, they arranged an entire floor of Bright Moon Restaurant for Lin Fan? In Zhang Ting¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan¡¯s entire body seemed to be filled with an endless fog. ¡­ Lin Fan saw that Zhang Ting did not speak or eat. He could not help but say, ¡°Cousin, what are you doing? Is the food not to your liking? Do you want to order some dishes?¡± Only then did Zhang Ting react and say, ¡°No¡­ No, they all look delicious.¡± As she spoke, she picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, and put it into her mouth. Soft, thin, and crispy! It was very delicious! Even though Zhang Ting¡¯s heart was filled with doubts, after the delicious food entered her stomach, she could not help but praise, ¡°Delicious!¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°If it¡¯s delicious, then eat more.¡± Then, he picked up the 1993 Roman¨¦e-Conti on the table and personally poured a glass of wine for himself and Zhang Ting. He raised his wine glass and said, ¡°Cousin, try this wine. Cheers!¡± Zhang Ting raised her glass and said, ¡°Cheers.¡± In the past, Zhang Ting always felt that wine was spicy, astringent, and bitter. However¡­ When she drank this wine, she tasted a sweetness and freshness that she had never tasted before. ¡°Delicious!¡± Zhang Ting praised again. Delicious? Of course, it was delicious! With just a small sip, she drank four figures worth of wine. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Then drink more.¡± Zhang Ting nodded vigorously. She ate a few more mouthfuls of food and drank a few mouthfuls of wine. Zhang Ting finally could not help but say, ¡°Lin Fan, those people just now¡­ Who are they? Why are they so respectful to you?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°I don¡¯t know who they are. As for the reason for their respect, it¡¯s probably because they¡¯re all my subordinates.¡± Lin Fan was not spouting nonsense. After all, he did not ask about the other party¡¯s identity. Subordinates? They could indeed be considered subordinates. This was because the four families were all vassal forces of the Qing Hong Sect. As for Lin Fan, he was the direct descendant of the Qing Hong Sect¡¯s patriarch, which meant that he was the sect master of the Qing Hong Sect. If they were not subordinates, then what were they? ¡­ However, when Zhang Ting heard this, she was even more confused. Who? Subordinates? Why was this sentence so contradictory? Could it be that Lin Fan had many subordinates? So many that he could not even remember? In addition, in today¡¯s society, how could one have subordinates? Lin Fan did not explain further. He scooped a spoonful of soup and said, ¡°This soup is not bad. Cousin, try it.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Zhang Ting replied and also scooped some soup. Soon, her face was filled with happiness and satisfaction. ¡­ While Lin Fan and Zhang Ting were eating, the patriarchs and core members of the four families were all waiting outside like their most loyal servants. ¡°What should we do with Liu Wei and Liu Kaijun?¡± someone asked in a low voice. ¡°If it were in the past, anyone who insulted the leader of the Qing Hong Sect would die!¡± ¡°Of course!¡± an old man said in a deep voice. ¡°But now that we¡¯re in a society ruled by law, let them go bankrupt completely and let their families live on the streets!¡± Generally speaking, even if they went bankrupt, most people would never live on the streets. After all, in today¡¯s society, as long as one had hands and feet and was willing to work, there would always be a place to stay and food on the table. However¡­ the person who said this was the old patriarch of the Wang family, one of the four great families. In that case, this sentence was definitely not just for show. With the Wang family¡¯s power, it was easy for them to make a person unable to find any jobs. Moreover, the remaining Chen, Huang, and Zhao family heads also nodded in agreement. The four great families of Modu were going to attack together! The fate of Liu Wei and Liu Kaijun¡¯s family was decided! At this moment, the patriarch of the Huang family whispered, ¡°Does Elder Ye know?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already told Elder Ye. He¡­¡± The old master of the Wang family said. ¡°It seems like he wants to personally make a trip to Modu.¡± Everyone turned solemn. Even though the Qing Hong Sect was founded by the founder and he had indeed made a name for himself¡­ The subsequent stability and development were all done by Elder Ye. In the hearts of the members of the Qing Hong Sect, Elder Ye was a god! Now that the god in their hearts was coming to Modu, they might be able to see him again! How could they not be excited?! ¡­ Just as the people from the four great families were discussing amongst themselves, Lin Fan and Zhang Ting walked out slowly. The people from the four families immediately stood together and said respectfully, ¡°Mr. Lin, Ms. Zhang.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head as a form of greeting. The patriarch of the Wang family said, ¡°Mr. Lin, we¡¯ve always kept the house that the ancestor used to live in. Would you like to go over and take a look?¡± Lin Fan thought that there was nothing much to do now. It was fine to stroll around since he was bored. It would aid in his digestion too. He nodded and said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go and take a look.¡± Then, he said to Zhang Ting, ¡°Cousin, do you want to go with me?¡± Zhang Ting hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°Let¡¯s go together.¡± Hence, Lin Fan and Zhang Ting slowly walked downstairs under the protection of the four families. When they arrived downstairs, a Rolls-Royce limousine was already waiting for them. Even though Lin Fan had many luxury cars and there was no lack of Rolls-Royce among them, when he sat in the extended Rolls-Royce and looked at the luxurious interior, he could not help but nod. After Zhang Ting sat in it, she was dumbfounded. The interior was luxurious, and it was extremely spacious. There was a fridge with red wine and snacks¡­ Everything was available. In Zhang Ting¡¯s eyes, how was this a car? It was simply a luxurious moving castle! Chapter 448 - 448 Stay Over; Reaction! (1) 448 Stay Over; Reaction! (1) The driver of the Rolls-Royce limousine obviously had superb driving skills, and the Rolls-Royce had top-notch shock absorption. Lin Fan and Zhang Ting sat in the car. They did not feel any bumps, acceleration, or braking. Even the cup of tea in front of them did not show any signs of shaking. If Zhang Ting had not pulled open the curtains out of curiosity and seen the high-rise buildings that were constantly retreating outside, she would have thought that the car had been stationary. About half an hour later, the driver opened the door respectfully. Only then did Zhang Ting know that they had already arrived at their destination. In front of them was a building with a sense of age. Red bricks, green tiles, carved railings, and jade tiles. There was also a pair of mighty and majestic stone lions at the door. Above them, there were two big words¡ªWood Mansion! Seeing this¡­ ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯d take us to the house of that ancestor?¡± Zhang Ting was stunned. ¡°Why are we here?¡± At this moment, a Maybach, a Rolls-Royce, and two Bentleys stopped by the side. The people from the four families who had been following behind like followers all got out of the car. ¡°Mr. Lin, this Wood Mansion was the house of the founder. It has always been the same as it was in the past,¡± said the patriarch of the Wang family respectfully. When Zhang Ting heard this, her mouth opened wide. In fact, when she saw all the cars parked here, she had already expected it. However, after hearing this answer, Zhang Ting could not help but be shocked. Even without measuring, Wood Mansion was more than 1,000 square meters! One had to know¡­ This was Modu where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold! Ignoring the unique value of the old buildings, the price alone was already very scary. Lin Fan did not care about it and nodded. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go in and take a look.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± the patriarch of the Wang family said. Even though he was old, he still took the lead and walked at the front like a soldier. The patriarch came to the vermilion door, took out the key, and gently twisted the bronze lock. The door was unlocked. Instantly, a refreshing fragrance assaulted his senses. He looked inside¡­ He could see the spotless ground and a field of blooming flowers. ¡°We have people come in every day to clean and maintain the place,¡± explained the old patriarch of the Wang family. Lin Fan nodded his head to show that he understood. They walked through the spacious courtyard and arrived at an ancient wooden building. Generally speaking, a house that had not been lived in for a long time would have a strange smell. However, after everyone walked in, there was a faint fragrance that refreshed their hearts. They looked up. They saw¡­ On the wall were ancient poems written in a flamboyant manner and beautiful and ancient paintings. ¡°Song of the Peach Blossom Nunnery, Watching the Waterfall on Mount Lu¡­ Tang Bohu¡­¡± Zhang Ting muttered softly, ¡°These¡­ Could they be the authentic work of Tang Bohu?¡± If it were in the past, Zhang Ting would only think that they were imitations, just like the ones in the imperial private room of Bright Moon Restaurant. However, after booking an entire floor of Bright Moon Restaurant and riding in a Rolls-Royce limousine, she was uncertain. ¡°These are indeed Tang Bohu¡¯s authentic works.¡± Zhang Ting could not help but gasp. Tang Bohu was the leader of the four great talents of the Ming Dynasty. The poem, Song of the Peach Blossom Nunnery, and the painting, Watching the Waterfall on Mount Lu, could be said to be his most famous works. How much would these two authentic works be worth? It was simply unbelievable! Accompanied by the people from the four great families, Lin Fan toured the entire Wood Mansion. He sniffed the fragrance in the air and looked at the antique furniture. For a moment, his interest was piqued. Seeing that the sky was gradually turning dark, Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯ll stay here today.¡± Everyone from the four families was slightly stunned. Stay here? If someone else had said such words, their mouth would have been smashed in the next second. However, the person who said that was Lin Fan. The direct descendant of the Qing Hong Sect¡¯s founder! Lin Fan was puzzled. ¡°What? Can¡¯t I?¡± ¡°Of course, you can,¡± said the patriarch of the Wang family hurriedly. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to send over the mattress, quilt cover, water, and all kinds of daily necessities later.¡± The Wood Mansion belonged to the founder of the Qing Hong Sect. Lin Fan was the direct descendant of the ancestral master, the current sect master! If there was anyone in this world who had the right to live here, it would be Lin Fan alone. Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction and turned to Zhang Ting. ¡°Cousin, do you want to stay with me today?¡± In fact¡­ Zhang Ting was also very fascinated by the Wood Mansion. Walking here made her feel as if she had turned into an ancient princess. Staying here for a night was definitely not bad! ¡°Alright.¡± Zhang Ting nodded. Everyone strolled around for a while more. Zhang Ting stroked a pillar and asked, ¡°What kind of wood is this house made of? It¡¯s golden yellow, and there are no signs of worms or decay.¡± ¡°This house is entirely made of golden thread nanmu,¡± said the patriarch of the Wang family. Zhang Ting, who was originally stroking the pillar, could not help but freeze on the spot. The entire building was made of golden thread nanmu? Although Zhang Ting had never studied wood in detail, she had seen a piece of news before. An inch of nanmu wood was an inch of gold! The price of golden thread nanmu was equivalent to gold! Chapter 449 - 449 Staying Over; Reaction! (2) 449 Staying Over; Reaction! (2) How much golden thread nanmu was used to build such a huge house? How much was it worth? No one could answer this question. Not long after¡­ Bedding, purified water, toiletries, and other things were sent over. Perhaps it was because they were staying in a house made out of golden thread nanmu, but that night, Lin Fan and Zhang Ting slept very comfortably. ¡­ They were comfortable, but some people could not sleep or eat in peace. Liu Wei had just returned home. His wife, Zhang Mudan, saw the miserable appearance of her son, Liu Kaijun, at a glance. His face was red and swollen. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Zhang Mudan shouted. ¡°Son, tell me, who hit you?! I¡¯ll definitely teach him a lesson!¡± Then, she looked at Liu Wei, who was sitting on the sofa and about to smoke. She shouted, ¡°Smoking again? All you know is smoking! ¡°Why don¡¯t you smoke yourself to death? Don¡¯t you see that your son has gotten beaten up? Do you still want to smoke?!¡± As she spoke, Zhang Mudan stepped forward and snatched the cigarette from Liu Wei¡¯s hand. Liu Wei was furious. He shouted, ¡°Fuck! What are you shouting for? He was beaten up? Let me tell you, I was the one who hit him! If you weren¡¯t usually conniving, why would he cause trouble outside?!¡± At this point, Liu Wei¡¯s heart was filled with anger again. He slapped Zhang Mudan¡¯s face. A loud voice echoed in the living room. This slap directly stunned Zhang Mudan. She looked at Liu Wei in disbelief. At this moment, Liu Wei¡¯s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was a call from the director of his mold factory. Liu Wei suppressed the anger in his heart and pressed the answer button. An anxious voice could be heard from the other end. ¡°President Liu, there¡¯s bad news. Speedy Electric, Carl Medical, Wang Family Machinery¡­ Almost all the companies that are working with us called to say that there¡¯s a problem with our quality. Not only will they stop working with us in the future, but they also want us to compensate them¡­¡± ¡°We¡¯ll immediately resolve the quality issue they raised,¡± Liu Wei said. ¡°We¡¯ll also offer a solemn apology and take the initiative to compensate them. However, we must continue our cooperation¡­¡± Liu Wei hung up after a long while. He had just hung up when the phone rang again. This time, it was his factory manager who called. Liu Wei pressed the answer button hard. ¡°President Liu, bad news. Starlight Equipment Company, Dongfang Company, Southern Sky Company¡­ All the companies that are working with us are saying that there¡¯s a problem with our quality. They say that they want to terminate their cooperation with us. They¡¯re also demanding compensation from us¡­¡± The factory manager said in a panic. When Liu Wei heard this, his heart tightened. A very bad premonition surged into his heart like a tidal wave. However, he still forcefully suppressed that premonition to the bottom of his heart. He took a deep breath and said, ¡°You¡­¡± Liu Wei finally came up with another plan. Then, he hung up. However, immediately after¡­ His phone rang again. ¡°President Liu, bad news¡­¡± If one of his companies had a problem, it might just be a coincidence. However, two, three¡­ If every business was facing problems, then it was definitely not a coincidence! As Liu Wei listened to the bad news, he felt as if his strength had been drained. He even lost the strength to hold his phone and slowly dropped it to the ground. He understood¡­ that the punishment from the mysterious young man or the four great families had started! The storm was unstoppable! He¡­ was done for! ¡­ On the other hand, in America. Just as the Wang family¡¯s patriarch had said, Elder Ye seemed to be coming to Modu personally. At this moment, Elder Ye, who had a head full of hair, raised his dragon-headed walking cane and slowly walked out of the manor. ¡°Dad, you haven¡¯t been feeling well. Do you have to go there yourself?¡± A middle-aged man could not help but ask. ¡°Why not let Lin Fan come to America? After all, he¡¯s still very young.¡± Elder Ye, who had a peaceful expression on his face, suddenly had a cold look in his eyes. He picked up the dragon-headed walking cane and whipped the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was in so much pain that the corners of his mouth twitched, but he did not dare to make a sound. ¡°Mr. Lin is the direct descendant of the founder and the current leader of the Qing Hong Sect!¡± Elder Ye said coldly. ¡°All disciples of the Qing Hong Sect must treat themselves as juniors! ¡°This strike is just a small punishment! ¡°If anyone dares to call Mr. Lin by his name or disrespect him again, it won¡¯t be as simple as getting whacked by a stick!¡± Just as the middle-aged man had said, Elder Ye was indeed not in good health. After saying his piece, he could not help but cough violently. He even coughed out traces of blood. This scene almost scared everyone present. ¡°Elder Ye, are you alright?¡± someone cried out in fear. ¡°Doctor!¡± ¡°Doctor, come over!¡± Soon, a doctor in a white coat rushed over with a medical kit on his back. ¡°There¡¯s no need to examine. I know my body.¡± Elder Ye waved his hand. ¡°Now, hurry up and go to the airport. I want to go to Modu immediately!¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Everyone hesitated. ¡°What?¡± Elder Ye glared at them and shouted. ¡°Are my words useless now?¡± As soon as he said this, it was as if a tall mountain had appeared on everyone¡¯s shoulders. They were so frightened that they lowered their heads and no longer dared to say anything to stop him. ¡°To the airport!¡± Elder Ye said. As he spoke, he got into the Rolls-Royce in front of him and sped toward the airport. At this moment, a luxury plane had already stopped in the middle of the airport. ¡­ Meanwhile, in Jingbei. An old man with a serious expression looked at the message on the screen and said in surprise, ¡°Wha? Ye Xiu is going to Modu? ¡°This is very rare! ¡°He has made great contributions in the past. We must let him feel our etiquette. At the same time, we must ensure his safety! ¡°Call Modu immediately!¡± the old man said. Immediately after, Audis and Jeeps quickly drove into Modu Airport, causing the originally noisy Modu Airport to have a sense of solemnity that had not been seen in a long time. ¡­ Lin Fan was completely oblivious to all of this. When the morning sun shone on the window sill, Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. He glanced at his phone screen out of habit. At this moment, there were two messages on his phone. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 37,893,200 yuan was deposited into your account.] [6:10, Qin Yuxuan: Lin Fan, you¡¯re in Modu?] Lin Fan chose to ignore the first message. Lin Fan focused his attention on the second message and made a call. The phone only rang for a moment before the call was picked up. ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re awake?¡± Qin Yuxuan¡¯s very happy voice came from the phone. Lin Fan said, ¡°Yes, have you returned to Modu?¡± ¡°I¡¯m back!¡± Qin Yuxuan said. ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll come look for you later. By the way, is there anywhere you want to do?¡± Lin Fan asked. Qin Yuxuan thought for a moment and said, ¡°Orlando!¡± I¡¯ve been in Modu for so many years, and I¡¯ve always wanted to go to Orlando!¡± Lin Fan immediately said, ¡°Alright, then we¡¯ll go to the theme park today.¡± ¡°Yay!¡± Qin Yuxuan shouted excitedly like a child. The two of them chatted sweetly for a while before hanging up. Then, Lin Fan slowly walked out of his room and started to wash up. When he arrived at the dining hall, there were already Australian lobster, matsutake egg tarts, M9 beef, and many other exquisite and delicious dishes on the table. At this moment, Zhang Ting happened to walk over. Lin Fan said, ¡°Cousin, you¡¯re awake too. Let¡¯s eat something.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Zhang Ting nodded. However, she did not eat slowly like Lin Fan. She seemed to be in a hurry and was wolfing down her food. Lin Fan said, ¡°Cousin, eat slowly. Don¡¯t choke.¡± Eat slowly? With so many precious and delicious delicacies, she wished she could swallow her own tongue. How could she slow down just because she wanted to? Chapter 450 - 450 Play; Arrival (1) 450 Play; Arrival (1) The amount of food on the table was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not long after, Lin Fan and Zhang Ting¡¯s stomachs started to bulge. At this moment, the people from the four families walked over like loyal servants. They stood at the side and quietly waited for their master¡¯s instructions. Lin Fan burped and said, ¡°You guys don¡¯t have to follow me today. I¡¯m going to enjoy Orlando with my girlfriend, Qin Yuxuan.¡± When the four family heads heard this, they said in unison, ¡°Yes.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head and said to Zhang Ting, ¡°Cousin, do you want to go to Orlando together?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t be going. I still have to go to the factory later to handle some matters.¡± One of the reasons why she ate so quickly earlier was¡­ because the food was really delicious. The other reason was that she had to go back early after she had finished eating. Of course, even if it was not for these two reasons, Zhang Ting would not have followed him. After all, being a third wheel was not ideal. ¡°Alright,¡± said Lin Fan. Therefore, the four families arranged for a Rolls-Royce to send Zhang Ting back. Then, they sent Lin Fan a Koenigsegg One:1. Lin Fan was no longer interested in supercars. Otherwise, he would not have kept driving the Cullinan and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class when he had so many supercars parked in the Coiling Dragon Villa. The supercars were really a waste. However, the four families had already sent the Koenigsegg One:1. Lin Fan understood that the other party had good intentions. Therefore, he could only accept it reluctantly. Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator, and the 1400 horsepower burst out. The entire car was like a roaring beast as it shot forward. Not long after, Lin Fan arrived in front of the Global Financial Building. At this moment, Qin Yuxuan was already waiting there. When she saw Lin Fan driving the Koenigsegg One:1, her pretty face revealed a look of shock. However, she quickly remembered that the entire Global Financial Building belonged to Lin Fan. It did not seem like a big deal to have a Koenigsegg One:1. Hence, Qin Yuxuan slowly went into the front passenger seat. Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator again, causing the entire car to continue speeding forward. The Koenigsegg One:1 roared crazily on the street like a ferocious beast. Wherever it passed, it became the focus of attention. Everyone who saw it constantly let out gasps of praise. ¡°What a cool car!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a Koenigsegg One:1!¡± ¡°Heavens!¡± ¡°So cool!¡± ¡­ Qin Yuxuan looked at everyone¡¯s gazes, and her pretty face was filled with sweetness. Who would not want to be envied? Furthermore, the person who caused this phenomenon was the person she liked the most. Not long after, a tall, dream-like castle appeared in front of them. This¡­ It was indeed Orlando. At this moment, a large group of people was standing at the entrance of the gates to Orlando. However, these people did not go in. On the contrary, they were walking outside. Was it not still morning? Why were they not going in? Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan were a little confused as they continued to drive forward. At this moment, a large group of staff wearing princess costumes quickly walked over. They stood in two rows and said in unison, ¡°Welcome to Orlando, Mr. Lin and Ms. Qin!¡± Then, the VIP channel opened. Hence, Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan, who were sitting in the Koenigsegg One:1 entered the theme park under the watchful eyes of everyone. There was no one inside. Today, the entire Orlando was open just for them! Lin Fan and Qin Yu rode the merry-go-round, got on the mine cart, and played bumper kart. Even though Qin Yuxuan had negotiated a contract worth billions of dollars and was a strong woman in the eyes of many people, at this moment, she seemed to have become the most carefree child. Her entire face was full of smiles. Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan spent the entire day in Orlando. When night fell, they sat together and watched the fireworks bloom in the sky. At this moment¡­ Qin Yuxuan thought of how Lin Fan had taken a helicopter and descended from the sky with a piano to celebrate her birthday. She thought about how Lin Fan had bought an entire floor of an office building to support her business¡­He even bought the entire Global Financial Building. She thought about how Lin Fan had booked the entire theme park just to have fun with her. At this moment, Qin Yuxuan felt that she was the happiest woman in the world! The dazzling fireworks lit up Lin Fan¡¯s and Qin Yuxuan¡¯s faces completely, making the scene look dreamy. Instantly, Qin Yuxuan could not help but approach Lin Fan. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ Tonight, in the presidential suite of the Shangri-La Hotel, the singing and shouting continued. ¡­ The next morning. A ray of dazzling sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and slowly fell on the windowsill. After a while, Lin Fan opened his eyes. He was the only one on the soft bed. Lin Fan slowly got up and walked out. Even though Qin Yuxuan was exhausted the entire night, she was still hard at work at her computer in the early morning. Lin Fan looked at her serious expression, and his heart softened. He picked up his phone and sent a message to room service. Then, he slowly walked forward and hugged Qin Yuxuan from behind. Chapter 451 - 451 Play; Arrival (2) 451 Play; Arrival (2) ¡°When did you wake up?¡± Qin Yuxuan asked happily. ¡°Just now,¡± Lin Fan said. Pausing, Lin Fan continued, ¡°You must be tired during this period of time.¡± Qin Yuxuan said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if I¡¯m tired¡­ Most importantly, I feel very fulfilled. I¡¯m very satisfied to see the projects grow.¡± As she said this, her beautiful eyes seemed to flicker. Obviously, she really enjoyed it. Lin Fan stroked Qin Yuxuan¡¯s hair gently, his heart aching for her. At this moment, the doorbell rang. ¡°Your breakfast is here.¡± Lin Fan opened the door slowly. A waiter pushed a small cart in and served exquisite breakfast to the table. Then, he respectfully said, ¡°Please enjoy.¡± Hence, Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan sat together and tasted the delicacies. Eating with the person he loved seemed to make his appetite especially good. Soon, they finished all the food. Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan¡¯s faces were filled with satisfaction. Then, the two of them leaned against each other, looking very blissful and sweet. ¡­ At this moment, at Modu International Airport. Audis and Jeeps lined up neatly at the airport, forming a sqaure. The black mass of people looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with anticipation. ¡°Rumble!¡± The next moment, a luxury plane landed. A white-haired old man slowly walked out of the plane under everyone¡¯s gaze. A man in a white shirt quickly went up to him and said happily, ¡°Mr. Ye, welcome to Modu.¡± Ye Xiu looked at the scene in front of him with a nostalgic expression. After a while, he said in a slightly hoarse voice, ¡°This is thoughtful¡­ However, I have some important matters to deal with later, so I can¡¯t invite everyone to a banquet for the time being to express my gratitude¡­ ¡°Cough, cough, cough!¡± Ye Xiu¡¯s body was not in good condition. Now, after a bumpy night on the plane, he looked even weaker. After coughing for a while, he turned his gaze to the four great families. ¡°Where¡¯s Mr. Lin?¡± Although it was just a simple question, it made everyone from the four great families extremely excited. Elder Ye! They had met Elder Ye! Moreover, Elder Ye even spoke to him! ¡°Mr. Lin should be at the Shangri-La Hotel,¡± the Wang family¡¯s patriarch said respectfully. ¡°I¡¯ll invite him over now.¡± ¡°No need, I¡¯ll go personally to see Mr. Lin!¡±¡± After saying that, he got into the car that bore a red flag in front of him and sped away. The people from the four families did not dare to hesitate at all. They also got into their own cars and followed closely behind. As for the man in white and the others, they stood where they were and silently watched the shadow of the car with the red flag leave. They pondered for a while. Elder Ye wanted to visit Mr. Lin personally. Who was this Mr. Lin? ¡°Leader, should we follow them?¡± asked the middle-aged man beside the man in the white shirt. The man in the white shirt shook his head. ¡°If we follow him without permission, we¡¯ll make him unhappy.¡± ¡°Then¡­ should we investigate Mr. Lin?¡± the middle-aged man said. The man in the white shirt thought for a moment and said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid this is not something we can decide. Let¡¯s report it to the capital.¡± He was definitely not joking. He had a certain understanding of Ye Xiu. He was the current leader of the Qing Hong Sect! How high was his status? What kind of status would Mr. Lin, whom Elder Ye wanted to personally visit, have? Then, the man in the white shirt thought of Ye Xiu¡¯s old face and how he had coughed up blood. ¡°Elder Ye¡¯s health must also be reported. I hope nothing happens to him.¡± ¡­ Ye Xiu¡¯s team faced no obstructions on the road. A moment later, they arrived at the lobby of the Shangri-La Hotel. However, Ye Xiu did not go directly to the presidential suite where Lin Fan was. He took a few deep breaths and said, ¡°Lil Wang, call Mr. Lin and ask if I can go up and visit him.¡± When the people from the four families heard this, they were shocked. Ye Xiu coming to Modu personally just to see Lin Fan had already shocked them. Just now, he took the initiative to come to the Shangri-La Hotel, which surprised them again. Now¡­ they were about to meet Lin Fan, but Ye Xiu actually wanted to ask for permission! This¡­ To think that Lin Fan held such a high position in Ye Xiu¡¯s heart! The four great families were shocked and terrified. They started to think about whether or not they had neglected Lin Fan in the past two days. Then, they thought of Liu Kaijun, who had offended Lin Fan yesterday. Yesterday, they felt that letting the Liu family live on the streets was already a severe punishment. From the looks of it now, it might not be enough! The middle-aged man beside Ye Xiu, Ye Feng, could not help but open his mouth when he heard Ye Xiu¡¯s words. ¡°Old Master, you¡­¡± However, before he could finish speaking, Ye Xiu¡¯s sharp eyes swept over him, scaring Ye Feng into shutting his mouth. ¡­ At this moment, Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan were snuggling together, enjoying their sweet time. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID. It was the patriarch of the Wang family, one of the four great families in Modu. Lin Fan did not hesitate and answered the call. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin,¡± the patriarch said respectfully. Lin Fan said, ¡°Hello. Is anything the matter?¡± The other party was an old man, so he should also give the other party some respect. The patriarch of the Wang family said, ¡°Elder Ye is already in the lobby of the Shangri-La Hotel. He asked me to ask if he could go up and meet you.¡± Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, ¡°Alright, he can come up.¡± Yesterday, the people from the four families told Lin Fan that Ye Xiu might come back from America to see him. He was already so old, yet he specially came from the other half of the world to ask for instructions¡­ It could be said that the man was showing the utmost courtesy. Under such circumstances, if Lin Fan was not even willing to meet him¡­ That would be too unreasonable of him. Ye Xiu was very happy that Lin Fan agreed to let him go up. When he reached the door of the presidential suite, he tidied his clothes before pressing the doorbell. ¡°Please come in,¡± Lin Fan said. Ye Xiu pushed open the door and slowly walked in. The people from the four families continued to wait outside like servants. After Ye Xiu walked into the suite, his turbid gaze landed on Lin Fan and the dragon ring in his hand. He was extremely excited. Then, he bowed 90 degrees and said respectfully, ¡°Ye Xiu from the Qing Hong Sect greets the sect master!¡± Sect master? That was right! Lin Fan was the sect master! Lin Fan was the heir of the Qing Hong Sect¡¯s founder, and he had the dragon ring. If he was not the sect master, then what was he? Even though Lin Fan knew that Ye Xiu was an old man, after seeing his appearance, he could not help but be surprised. One had to know¡­ Lin Fan had Sun Simiao¡¯s Medical Experience. With his traditional medicine skills, he could tell that Ye Xiu was definitely over a hundred years old. It was tough for an old man like him to travel thousands of kilometers and rush to Modu overnight just to pay his respects. Moreover, he had lung cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and many other illnesses. If he was careless, he could very well die during the journey. ¡°Cough, cough, cough!¡± Perhaps it was because he was too excited to see Lin Fan or perhaps it was because he had traveled a long distance, Ye Xiu suddenly coughed violently. Qin Yuxuan, who was standing at the side, cried out in fear, ¡°Old man, what¡¯s wrong? Why are you coughing up blood?!¡± When Ye Feng and the people from the four families who had been waiting outside heard these voices, they could no longer wait outside. They could not help but push open the door and barge in. Even though Ye Xiu was seriously ill and fell into a coughing fit, he only wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. When he recovered, he turned around and shouted, ¡°Bastards, who let you in?! ¡°Cough, cough, cough!¡± After saying that, he coughed again. Chapter 452 - 452 Drink It; Command! 452 Drink It; Command! In Ye Xiu¡¯s heart, Lin Fan was the direct descendant of the Qing Hong Sect¡¯s patriarch and the current sect master of the Qing Hong Sect. He had supreme status! How could others casually barge into the room he was staying in and disturb him? Lin Fan waved his hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± As he spoke, he spent ten million yuan to exchange for a bottle of Medical Water from the system. Then, he handed it to Ye Xiu and said, ¡°Drink this.¡± Even though Lin Fan and Ye Xiu had only interacted for a short while, Lin Fan already had a good impression of him. Therefore, he was willing to help him. Ye Feng, who was standing at the side, looked at the unknown liquid in Lin Fan¡¯s hand, and his eyes narrowed. Drink it? What kind of status did Ye Xiu have? Whether it was his food or drinks, they had to go through strict checks. What if it was poisonous? Moreover¡­ Ye Xiu¡¯s body was in a terrible state. Even if it was not poison, he could not consume anything so casually. His body would not be able to withstand it if anything went wrong. ¡°Old Master, you¡­¡± However, before Ye Feng could finish speaking, Ye Xiu swept him with a cold gaze. He was so frightened that he did not dare to speak. Ye Xiu did not hesitate and poured the Medical Water into his mouth. He did not believe that Lin Fan would poison him. Even if it was poison, so what? If the sect master wanted to kill him, he had no choice but to die! Under the watchful eyes of Ye Feng and the people from the four great families, Ye Xiu slowly swallowed the medicine. In the next moment¡­ Ye Xiu was stunned. At first, he felt pain all over his body and was extremely uncomfortable. As the liquid entered his stomach, he felt a sense of relaxation and comfort that he had not felt for a long time. This feeling¡­ It was like a rusty machine that had been refilled with grease! At this moment, Ye Xiu even had the illusion that all the pain in his body had disappeared! Disappeared? How was this possible? One had to know¡­ He was suffering from many incurable diseases that could not be treated at all! Ye Feng, who was standing behind him, saw that the old man was standing still after drinking the unknown liquid. He immediately had a bad feeling. ¡°Old Master, are you alright?¡± Then, he shouted at Lin Fan, ¡°What did you give the old master?!¡± When Ye Xiu heard this, he came back to his senses. ¡°Bastard!¡± he shouted sternly. ¡°Who gave you the guts to shout at the sect master like this?!¡± Ye Xiu¡¯s voice was no longer as weak as before. Instead, it was full of energy and was very loud! Then, he picked up the dragon-headed cane in his hand and fiercely smacked Ye Feng. It was extremely powerful! Ye Feng was careless and even fell to the ground. Seeing that Ye Xiu was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he said in a very flustered tone. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I lost my manners.¡± ¡°You lost your manners? You offended your superior, you bastard!¡± Ye Xiu shouted angrily. He picked up the cane again and ruthlessly smacked Ye Feng. This time, Ye Xiu was truly furious. On one hand¡­ Just as he had said, it was an act of defiance! On the other hand¡­ He could clearly feel that his body had recovered. A bottle of medicine had healed his body. He knew very well how precious this bottle of medicine was. In the end, his savior was suspected by Ye Feng. He was simply a bastard! At this moment, Lin Fan said, ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no need to hit him. He was just worried about you. However, I don¡¯t want it to happen again.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Then, Elder Ye turned to Ye Feng and shouted, ¡°Hurry up and thank the sect master!¡± Ye Feng, who was lying on the ground, endured the pain in his body and said, ¡°Thank you, Sect Master.¡± Ye Xiu ignored Ye Feng. He sighed and said, ¡°Sect Master, you gave me such precious medicinal liquid that made all the illnesses in my body disappear without a trace¡­ I¡­ I¡¯m really ashamed!¡± His words were not pretentious at all. He was very sincere. This was because Ye Xiu understood that a treasure like the Medical Water, which could be considered a godly medicine, was extremely rare and precious. Otherwise, Lin Fan would not have carried it with him all the time. In the end, he gave it to him. If something happened to Lin Fan¡¯s body in the future, what would he do? Ye Xiu was an old man who was over a hundred years old. He had one leg in the grave. He couldn¡¯t compare to Lin Fan at all. Ye Feng, who was crawling on the ground, was slightly stunned when he heard this. What did Elder Ye just say? All his illnesses had disappeared without a trace? Yes! Elder Ye¡¯s voice seemed to be very loud and clear. In addition, when he hit him just now, he was also very powerful. Elder Ye had really gotten better! Thinking up to this point, Ye Feng¡¯s face was filled with smiles. The way he looked at Lin Fan was filled with respect and admiration. Lin Fan could tell that Ye Xiu¡¯s words came from the bottom of his heart. He nodded his head and said, ¡°What I gave you was Medical Water. It¡¯s nothing to me.¡± When Ye Xiu heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, Qin Yuxuan, who was standing at the side, suddenly said in surprise, ¡°You¡¯re Mr. Chen, Mr. Wang, Mr. Huang, and Mr. Zhao!¡± Currently, Fan Yu Investment was one of the top investment companies in Modu. As the chairwoman of Fan Yu Investment, Qin Yuxuan was obviously more knowledgeable than Zhang Ting. Earlier, she had panicked because Ye Xiu had coughed up blood. Qin Yuxuan finally regained her senses and looked around. With one look¡­ She realized that among the people who had just barged in, there were actually people from the four great families of Modu. They were even the patriarchs of the four great families! Any one of the patriarchs of the four great families could cause the entire city to shake with just a stomp of their feet. Now, they were actually gathered together! Moreover, they had appeared in front of her! No wonder Qin Yuxuan was so surprised. When the four leaders heard Qin Yuxuan¡¯s words, they were so frightened that their bodies trembled. One had to know¡­ Qin Yuxuan was Lin Fan¡¯s girlfriend. How could they be worthy of her comment? Even Elder Ye was so respectful in front of Lin Fan. ¡°You can just call me Lil Wang.¡± ¡°Just call me Lil Chen.¡± ¡°Just call me Lil Huang.¡± ¡°Just call me Lil Zhao.¡± Qin Yuxuan was stunned. Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°Yuxuan, they booked the entire theme park for us yesterday. Also, if you have any problems in Modu, you can ask them for help.¡± ¡°You can command us at any time.¡± ¡°Just treat us as your subordinates.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± ¡­ When Qin Yuxuan heard the words of the four leaders, she was stunned again. Commanding them at will and treating them as subordinates? This¡­ Chapter 453 - 453 Return; Entry! 453 Return; Entry! Qin Yuxuan knew that Lin Fan was very capable. He had several supercars and could easily take out hundreds of millions of yuan to help her start her company. He could even buy the entire Global Financial Building. However, she never expected that the patriarchs of the four great families of Modu would be so polite to her because of Lin Fan. They even did not hesitate to call themselves subordinates. As for Lin Fan, he was not too bothered by the words of the four family heads. He just casually chatted with Ye Xiu. From Ye Xiu, Lin Fan learned that the world¡¯s largest oil field, a quarter of Silicon Valley, and hundreds of listed companies in the US stock market all belonged to the Qing Hong Sect. Lin Fan did not have much of a reaction to all of this. To him, companies and funds¡­ were just a string of numbers. However, Qin Yuxuan, who was sitting at the side, was completely dumbfounded. ¡­ At this moment, in Jingbei. The extremely dignified man picked up the phone on the table and pressed the answer button. ¡°Leader, Elder Ye has already arrived in Modu, but he said that he has something important to do and doesn¡¯t want us to follow him. Also, his physical condition doesn¡¯t seem to be good. ¡°Also, Elder Ye is very concerned about a Mr. Lin. He seems to have come to Modu this time to pay a visit to Mr. Lin.¡± Mr. Lin? The dignified man frowned. At this moment, an email popped up on the computer screen in front of the dignified man. It was Lin Fan! Seeing this¡­ The dignified man was stunned. ¡°Alright, I understand.¡± After saying that, he hung up the phone. Only the man in the white shirt sitting in the Audi was left. He held his phone and was at a loss. That was it? Elder Ye¡¯s identity was very special, no? ¡®Didn¡¯t you ask me to take good care of and protect Elder Ye?¡¯ He was not in good health and wanted to meet a mysterious Mr. Lin. What did the dignified man know? What should the man in the white shirt do now? ¡­ Lin Fan did not care about any of this. After listening to Ye Xiu talk about the Qing Hong Sect for a while, he boarded a luxurious private jet to Jiangbei. He was still a professor at Jiangbei University. It would not be good to let his students study by themselves. Tonight, he was alone, lying comfortably on the big bed in the Coiling Dragon Villa. He slept very comfortably. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. ¡°Today, I caught another big bug!¡± ¡°I caught two!¡± Following the sound of two sparrows chirping outside the window, Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. Out of habit, he glanced at his phone. A text message had already appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 36,989,010 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, Lin Fan muttered, ¡°Let¡¯s see what the sign-in reward is today.¡± ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten million yuan.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan chose to ignore it. After breakfast, he drove the Cullinan straight to Jiangbei University. Although it was not time for class yet, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Nie Zhenjiang, Hao Zhiwu, Liu Qianqian, and Jiang Chaoqun had already arrived at the office early and were studying very seriously. Lil White, who was lying on Hao Zhiwu¡¯s shoulder, was the first to notice Lin Fan and let out a crisp meow. ¡°Master, you¡¯re here!¡± Then, Lil White jumped down from Hao Zhiwu¡¯s shoulder and rubbed against Lin Fan¡¯s feet. Lin Fan stroked the cat, Lil White, a few times. Then, he tore open a bag of premium beef cat food. Lil White buried its head into the premium beef cat food and ate happily. In the beginning, when Hao Zhiwu saw Lil White like this, he was so angry that his teeth hurt. Now, he was completely used to it. He hurriedly stopped the ballpoint pen in his hand and excitedly came in front of Lin Fan. ¡°Professor Lin, have you told Chairman Ran? Will I be able to go to the closed beta base tomorrow?¡± No wonder he was so excited. According to the news released by Dahua Group, tomorrow was the closed beta. The day before yesterday, Dahua Group had already announced the closed beta list. However, Hao Zhiwu realized that his name was not on it, which made him anxious. After all, this was the gaming helmet experience that he had always dreamed of! Lin Fan was stunned for a moment before saying, ¡°Oh, you mean the gaming helmet? Alright, I¡¯ll tell Ran Fei now.¡± Hao Zhiwu froze. What Professor Lin meant was¡­ he had not called Ran Fei yet? His name had not been added yet? Lin Fan did not pay much attention to Hao Zhiwu, who was frozen. He took out his phone and dialed Ran Fei¡¯s number. During this period of time, there was the carbon-based chip and the gaming helmet¡­ It could be said that Ran Fei, the chairman, was very busy. However, when he saw that it was Lin Fan, he immediately answered the call. ¡°Mr. Lin, what instructions do you have?¡± Ran Fei asked. Instructions? Ran Fei was half-joking and half-serious. Lin Fan was now the biggest shareholder of Dahua Group. At the same time, he became the soul of Dahua Group. Many employees of Dahua Group idolized Lin Fan! Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°I don¡¯t have any instructions. I have a student who wants to participate in the closed beta testing of the gaming helmet tomorrow. Are there any slots left?¡± Ran Fei thought for a moment and said, ¡°We¡¯ve publicly recruited 100 beta players worldwide. However, our Dahua Group has also arranged for dozens of employees to experience it. Professor Lin, you can let your student participate in the closed beta as one of the dozens of employees.¡± ¡°Alright, that¡¯s settled then.¡± Lin Fan nodded. When Hao Zhiwu found out about this, he was so excited that he wanted to give Lin Fan a big hug. However, Lin Fan quickly dodged to the side and said, ¡°My sexual orientation is normal!¡± At this moment, Xia Bing and Xia Xue each took a bottle of energy drink and came in front of Lin Fan. Lin Fan casually took them and drank a mouthful of each of the two bottles. Seeing this¡­ Xia Bing and Xia Xue looked like they had drunk honey, and their faces were filled with sweetness. If it were in the past, Liu Qianqian would inevitably sigh upon seeing this scene and feel that it was not worth it for Xia Bing and Xia Xue. At this moment, however, the image of Lin Fan standing outside the basketball court and casually throwing the basketball into the basket appeared in her mind. She could not help but reveal a look of admiration. However, Liu Qianqian shook her head hard and said to herself, ¡°Professor Lin already has a girlfriend, Professor Lin already has a girlfriend. Professor Lin already has a girlfriend! ¡°Professor Lin is a scumbag! Professor Lin is a scumbag! Professor Lin is a scumbag!¡± Instantly, Liu Qianqian looked at Lin Fan with a calm gaze. Chapter 454 - 454 Game; Human Resources Director! (1) 454 Game; Human Resources Director! (1) In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, and Jiang Chaoqun were still reading seriously in the office. Hao Zhiwu, on the other hand, arrived at the Jiangbei branch of Dahua Group early in the morning. A man in a suit said, ¡°Next, you¡¯ll participate in the closed beta of Dahua Group¡¯s gaming helmet. ¡°In this internal test, we¡¯ll use the mode of playing for one day and resting for one day. The game time is eight hours per day, and the internal test game time is 56 hours in total. In other words, you¡¯ll have to stay in Dahua Group for 14 days. ¡°During the internal testing period, Dahua Group will provide accommodation, food, drinks, and closed management of physical examinations. In addition, we¡¯ll offer a subsidy of 5,000 yuan. ¡°Once you confirm your participation, you¡¯re prohibited from leaving the enclosed area midway. Violators will be fined ten times the subsidy. Do you confirm your participation in the closed beta testing?¡± After saying that, he took out a confirmation letter. Hao Zhiwu¡¯s dream was to play with a gaming helmet. Moreover, he could get 5,000 yuan for gaming. How could he reject it? As for forbidding them from leaving the sealed area midway¡­ It was just 14 days. For the sake of getting to use a gaming helmet, what did it matter if he was locked up for a year, let alone 14 days? Hao Zhiwu signed his name without any hesitation. Then¡­ Under the guidance of the staff, he and many others came to a hall that was filled with technological equipment. On the table in the hall, there were exquisite-looking helmets. They were gaming helmets! Seeing this¡­ Many people¡¯s hearts could not help but race. Then, under the guidance of the staff, everyone put on the gaming helmet with curiosity or excitement. Everyone felt their necks tighten. In the next moment¡­ They entered the game. Some people appeared on a green grassland, some appeared on a golden beach, and some appeared in a dense forest¡­ No matter where they appeared, everyone¡¯s eyes were wide open, and their faces were filled with disbelief. In fact, when many people heard that Dahua Group had launched a gaming helmet, they thought it was something similar to VR glasses. However, what was the situation now? After putting on the gaming helmet, it was as if they had traveled to another place. The air was filled with fragrance, clarity, and heat. There was also the feeling of the grass swaying and the sand falling by their feet. Someone accidentally fell and even felt some pain! After a while, everyone let out excited shouts! They all understood that they had done nothing wrong by participating in the testing this time! ¡­ On the internet, the matter of the gaming helmet quickly caused a heated discussion. Feifei Feifei Feifei: [Didn¡¯t Dahua Group¡¯s gaming helmet start their closed beta testing today? Is there still no news?] Brother Brave: [I don¡¯t know. Logically speaking, we should hear some news soon, right?] As expected, someone quickly sent a message. Nameless: [Heavens! This gaming helmet is simply amazing!] Nameless: [I can guarantee that as long as the gaming helmet is officially released to the market, the popular games that are popular now will all disappear very quickly!] Guarding the World: [Previous commenter, don¡¯t exaggerate things.] Nameless: [Exaggerate? This is the truth!] Happy Happy: [I can vouch for it. I was just in the Dahua Group branch. I just took off the gaming helmet. [Let¡¯s talk about the overall feeling first. [One word¡ªstunning! [I¡¯m very lucky, but also very unlucky. [I¡¯m lucky because I was selected by Dahua Group to participate in the closed beta test of the gaming helmet. I can experience the gaming helmet for 14 days and a total of 56 hours. [Unfortunately, I can only experience the gaming helmet for 14 days and a total of 56 hours. [Gaming experience: This is a high-tech product that is completely different from 3D glasses and VR glasses. It felt as if I had teleported to another place. It was very shocking! All senses are involved¡ªhearing, sight, perception, smell, and others. Of course, it¡¯s also different from the real world. However, in my opinion, this difference is very normal. [Game image: Extremely exquisite!!!! In other words, at first glance, everything looks real, and there¡¯s no problem with the quality of the image. [Game world: The world view is very complete, and it has unprecedented freedom¡­] As the players participating in the beta test released some updates, the news quickly blew up the entire online world. Everyone was curious about the gaming helmet. The day ended with heated discussions. Hao Zhiwu and many of the selected beta players filled in the forms and went through the corresponding physical examinations. It had to be said that Dahua Group was very reliable. After all, they were testing a device that let the consciousness of a person enter the game world. If something happened, it would definitely cause a big problem. However, in Lin Fan¡¯s opinion, these problems would not happen at all. ¡­ The next day, the weather was clear and cloudless. According to the contract signed with Dahua Group, the internal beta testers would undergo a physical examination today before getting some rest. The selected beta players were all game enthusiasts. Otherwise, they would not be spending half a month participating in the closed beta test. In the past, whether they were working or resting, they would always have their minds on gaming. However, today, they did not have such thoughts. That was because after playing with the gaming helmet, they were not able to play mobile games, online games, or PSP games¡­ They felt that those were trash! Chapter 455 - 455 Game; Human Resources Director! (2) 455 Game; Human Resources Director! (2) In order to pass the time, they went to Weibo, forums, and other places to share the joy brought by the gaming helmet. Meanwhile, Hao Zhiwu sent out messages in the WeChat group that consisted of Professor Lin¡¯s students. Hao Zhiwu: [It¡¯s a pity that you guys didn¡¯t ask Professor Lin to help you get a spot for the closed beta!] Hao Zhiwu: [After wearing the helmet, I get to hit monsters with rocks. It¡¯s like I¡¯m fighting monsters in the real world. There¡¯s also the fruit in the game. The taste is amazing¡­] Hao Zhiwu: [I¡¯m sure that as long as you guys play this game, you¡¯ll definitely fall in love with it!] Finally, someone replied. Liu Qianqian: [It¡¯s very fun. Come in and play with us!] When Hao Zhiwu saw this message, he was slightly stunned. After a while, he finally sent another message. Hao Zhiwu: [What do you mean?] Liu Qianqian: [It¡¯s just putting on the gaming helmet and playing in the world together.] Liu Qianqian: [This morning, Professor Lin brought six gaming helmets to the office. We¡¯ve been playing for hours.] Liu Qianqian: [My stomach is still a little uncomfortable, so I took the helmet off for a while. I¡¯m going back in now.] Liu Qianqian: [Alright, let¡¯s not talk anymore. I¡¯m going to put on the gaming helmet now. Otherwise, I¡¯ll be far behind Professor Lin and the others.] After Hao Zhiwu saw the news, he suddenly clutched his chest. It hurt! It hurt! He had to beg Professor Lin before he was able to obtain a spot in the beta testing for the gaming helmet on the last day. As a result, he had to stay in the branch of Dahua Group for 14 days as if he were in prison. 14 days¡­ Moreover, he could only play with the gaming helmet for 56 hours. Now? Now, Liu Qianqian was telling him that Professor Lin had brought six gaming helmets to the office and let everyone play as they pleased! This¡­ This¡­ Hao Zhiwu leaned against the window like a prisoner who had been wronged. He cried and howled, ¡°Let me out!¡± ¡­ In the next 14 days, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, and Jiang Chaoqun were very happy every day as they could game while studying. Hao Zhiwu, who was in Dahua Group, would come to the window every day after he finished gaming. His face was full of sorrow, and he could not help but sigh. Finally, the closed beta ended. The people who participated in the closed beta were still not satisfied, but they slowly left Dahua Group. Hao Zhiwu was the only one who ran out like a sharp arrow. When he arrived at Jiangbei University, before he even entered the office, he shouted, ¡°Professor Lin, I want it, I want it!¡± Lin Fan¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°What do you mean you want it? If you want to play with the gaming helmet, take it yourself.¡± As he spoke, he pointed at a gaming helmet on the table. ¡°Yes, Professor!¡± Hao Zhiwu said excitedly. Then, he hurriedly picked up the gaming helmet, found a good position, and put it on his head impatiently. He entered the game world again and began to gallop freely. When Hao Zhiwu entered the game world again, the news about the gaming helmet on the internet once again caused a heated discussion. Some people said that gaming helmets could harm the brain. Some people said that gaming helmets would make people unable to differentiate between reality and virtual reality. Some people said that gaming helmets would make people more addicted to the internet and become the drug of the new era. Of course, most people were looking forward to the promotion of the gaming helmet. If the creator of the gaming helmet had been anyone else, they would definitely be paying close attention to this news. However, Lin Fan did not care at all. He went to the office on time every day. Sometimes, he would return to the Coiling Dragon Villa to rest; sometimes, he would go to Yi Ke City; and sometimes, he would go to Washington Palace¡­ He was very content. ¡­ Today. As usual, Lin Fan went to Jiangbei University after breakfast. In the past, when Lin Fan walked around the school, every student¡¯s face was filled with youthful and sunny smiles. These days, he noticed that many students had a faint look of worry on their faces. A gentle breeze blew from the side, bringing with it a light fragrance. Lin Fan turned around. He saw¡­ A woman with smooth skin, a face like a peach blossom, hair like a waterfall, and a perfect figure slowly walking over. It was Hu Tian. ¡°Teacher Tiantian, good morning.¡± Hu Tian smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯re a professor like me now, but you¡¯re still calling me Teacher Tiantian?¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Can¡¯t I?¡± The two of them talked and chatted very casually. If it were in the past, the two of them would feel a little uncomfortable walking side by side. After all, it was a teacher-student relationship. Now that both of them were teachers and professors, it seemed much more natural. At this moment, a slightly ear-piercing cry suddenly sounded not far away. ¡°Hu Tian!¡± Then, a tall and thin man in a suit strode over. He smiled and said, ¡°Hu Tian, long time no see!¡± When Hu Tian saw who it was, she first revealed a puzzled expression. Then, she said with some uncertainty, ¡°Are you¡­ Zheng Cong?¡± When Zheng Cong heard Hu Tian call out his name, he said happily, ¡°It¡¯s me!¡± ¡°Why did you come to school today?¡± Hu Tian asked in surprise. Zheng Cong was Hu Tian¡¯s former classmate at Jiangbei University. After graduating from university, the two of them had not met again. Now that they suddenly met, they were naturally surprised. ¡°Isn¡¯t it almost graduation season?¡± Zheng Cong laughed. ¡°The employment situation of university students is not very good now. I¡¯m now the human resources director of Huidong Accounting Firm, and I happen to be in charge of recruiting interns, so I came to Jiangbei University. ¡°After all, it¡¯s better for our school to have the advantage.¡± After he said this, he could not help but stick out his chest, his face full of pride. This was because Huidong was one of the top ten accounting firms in the country. Be it salary or benefits, they were all very good. It was the ideal place for many graduates to work. He felt that after he said these words, Hu Tian would definitely praise him. However, Hu Tian only said in a very calm tone, ¡°Is that so? Congratulations.¡± However, Zheng Cong did not seem to notice the calmness in her tone. He smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m just the human resources director of Huidong Accounting Firm. What¡¯s there to congratulate me for? Congratulate me after I become the chairman.¡± His tone was so relaxed. That appearance¡­ It was as if it was so easy to become the chairman of Huidong Accounting Firm. Zheng Cong was already immersed in his own world, unable to extricate himself. Then, he said, ¡°We haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time. Are you free to have a meal together later?¡± After saying this, a fiery look flashed across Zheng Cong¡¯s eyes. When Hu Tian was in university, she was the famous campus belle of Jiangbei University. Zheng Cong and many other boys were fascinated by her. However, Hu Tian was indifferent to everyone. This made everyone very helpless. In fact¡­ Zheng Cong came to Jiangbei University to recruit interns mainly because he knew that Hu Tian was a professor at Jiangbei University and that she was still unmarried. This could not help but make Zheng Cong feel a sense of fantasy and anticipation. With his current status, if he met Hu Tian at Jiangbei University, perhaps¡­ Lin Fan, who was standing at the side, could tell what Zheng Cong was thinking. He said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that¡¯s not possible because Teacher Tiantian has already decided to have dinner with me tonight.¡± He wanted to have a meal with his woman? Had he asked him? Zheng Cong finally seemed to have noticed Lin Fan and asked, ¡°You¡¯re Professor Hu Tian¡¯s student, right? ¡°Professor Hu and I were very close classmates back then. For Professor Hu¡¯s sake, I can make the decision to let you join Huidong Accounting Firm directly.¡± He believed that as long as he said that, Lin Fan would definitely be overwhelmed and overjoyed. Chapter 456 - 456 Arrival; Preaching! (1) 456 Arrival; Preaching! (1) Zheng Cong spoke like an elder to a junior, with a superior appearance. He raised his head as if he was waiting for Lin Fan to nod and bow. However¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s expression was calm. He was about to speak. Not far away, a slightly ear-piercing voice sounded. ¡°Hu Tian!¡± Then, a man in a suit and leather shoes with a slightly raised hairline walked over quickly. ¡°Hu Tian, long time no see!¡± he said with a smile. Before Hu Tian could say anything, Zheng Cong said, ¡°Wang Haoran?¡± Wang Haoran was also Hu Ting¡¯s classmate at Jiangbei University back then. Of course, he and Zheng Cong were also university classmates. ¡°Zheng Cong?¡± Wang Haoran¡¯s attention was all on Hu Tian. At this moment, he heard a voice beside him and turned to look. ¡°We haven¡¯t seen each other since we graduated from university. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here today. By the way, why did you come to school today?¡± Zheng Cong said. As he spoke, he could not help but lean his body toward Hu Tian. That appearance¡­ It was as if he was saying, ¡®Don¡¯t even think about touching Hu Tian!¡¯ Zheng Cong and Wang Haoran were former classmates, so the former knew the latter very well. Or rather, all the male students in the class had feelings for Hu Tian. How could Wang Haoran not see through Zheng Cong¡¯s actions and intentions? However, he saw that Hu Tian did not react at all, nor did she have any intimate actions with Zheng Cong. He immediately understood that this was just Zheng Cong¡¯s wishful thinking. ¡°Isn¡¯t it almost graduation season?¡± Wang Haoran smiled casually. ¡°The employment environment isn¡¯t very good now, and I happen to be the deputy director of Feitu Network, so I¡¯m quite capable. Therefore, I came to help my alma mater solve the employment problems of my juniors.¡± After saying this, a faint smug expression appeared on his face as he slowly looked at Hu Tian. It was as if he was saying, ¡®Hu Tian, I¡¯m amazing, right?¡¯ ¡°Zheng Cong, what are you doing here?¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯m also here to help my juniors find jobs.¡± As if to verify their words, a loud voice sounded not far away. ¡°Director Wang, Director Zheng, you¡¯re here. The other entrepreneurs and school leaders are in lecture hall 3.¡± A round-faced man walked over quickly. ¡°Thank you for your reminder, Director Song,¡± said Wang Haoran. Zheng Cong also said, ¡°Sorry for the trouble, Director Song.¡± Although the two of them said such words, their hearts were filled with pride. ¡°What¡¯s the trouble?¡± Song Keling waved his hand. ¡°I should be the one thanking you. It¡¯s because of outstanding graduates like you that the students of Jiangbei University can find good jobs.¡± At this moment, he suddenly noticed Hu Tian and Lin Fan standing beside him. ¡°Professor Hu, Professor Lin, you¡¯re here too?¡± Especially when he mentioned Professor Lin, Song Keling¡¯s tone could not help but become excited. Lin Fan had the highest status at Jiangbei University. Even the chancellor was far inferior to him. In the past, Jiangbei University was considered a well-known university in Hua Nation and was one of the top universities in the country. However, compared to Huaqing University and Capital University, they were far inferior. Now, Jiangbei University had become one of the top universities in the country in the world. Its reputation even surpassed Huaqing University and Capital University! The reason for this was Lin Fan! Zheng Cong and Wang Haoran clearly did not notice the change in Song Keling¡¯s tone. Wang Haoran looked slightly better, but Zheng Cong was shocked. Professor Lin? Professor? This young man was actually a professor!? Then, Zheng Cong thought of how Lin Fan and Hu Tian were chatting and laughing earlier. They looked very intimate, and his heart tightened. At this moment, Song Keling seemed to have thought of something. He quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, ¡°Director Zheng, Director Wang, the corporate meeting is about to start. Let¡¯s go over first.¡± Zheng Cong and Wang Haoran nodded. ¡°Hu Tian, do you want to go with us?¡± Zheng Cong asked. ¡°Perhaps you can choose some good jobs for your students in advance.¡± Wang Haoran also said, ¡°That¡¯s right. Let¡¯s go together. We¡¯re old classmates. We can catch up on old times too.¡± Their thoughts were very simple. They had prepared a lot of information about their companies and their positions, but if they said it directly now, it would seem too deliberate. However, it was reasonable to mention these things in the lecture hall. They believed that when Hu Tian heard about how well they were doing, she would definitely look at them differently and be fascinated. After all, outstanding men were the most handsome! In addition, just as they had said, Hu Tian would definitely want her students to find good jobs. In turn, this was a good opportunity for the two men to get in touch with her. Before Hu Tian could answer, Song Keling, who was beside her, spoke first, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Professor Hu is going over as well. Professor Hu is one of the representatives of the mathematics department at the conference.¡± When Zheng Cong and Wang Haoran heard this, they both revealed a hint of joy. Soon, Hu Tian would be able to truly realize how outstanding and handsome they were now! Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯ll go too.¡± When Song Keling heard this, his entire face was filled with smiles. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Chapter 457 - 457 Arrival; Preaching! (2) 457 Arrival; Preaching! (2) Not to mention that Lin Fan had a supreme status at Jiangbei University. If he was willing to go, it would at least raise the standard of this corporate meeting by a level! Also, according to what Song Keling knew, Lin Fan was also a major shareholder of Dahua Group and Yadi Automobile. If Lin Fan was willing to help, he would definitely be able to solve a large number of job opportunities at Jiangbei University. Zheng Cong and Wang Haoran thought that Song Keling was happy because they had agreed to go over now. Then, the few of them walked toward the lecture hall. ¡­ Meanwhile, in Jingbei. A man in a white shirt knocked on the door in front of him anxiously. ¡°Please come in,¡± an old man with a straight face said in a clear voice. The man in the white shirt hurriedly walked in. He sorted out his mind and said in a calm tone, ¡°Leader, according to our intelligence network, a plane carrying the chairmen of Aven Group, United Group, Datong Group, Nanguo Industry Group, Liwa Group, Baojia Group, William Group, Wall Group, and Ye Xiu are about to arrive at Jiangbei International Airport!¡± He said hundreds of names in a row. Even the old man with a straight face and a determined expression showed a hint of surprise when he heard these people¡¯s names. One had to know¡­ These were not ordinary people but the leaders of major companies! Their wealth was comparable to that of some medium-sized countries! Now, they had gathered together and boarded a private plane to arrive in Jiangbei, Hua Nation? Wait a minute! Ye Xiu? Jiangbei? The old man quickly thought of something and said, ¡°I understand.¡± The man in the white shirt was stunned. What did he know? However, he did not dare to say anything more and said respectfully, ¡°Alright.¡± Then, he slowly walked outside. The old man pondered for a moment before dialing a number from Jiang Province. The call was quickly picked up. ¡°Jiangbei International Airport will soon welcome a large group of entrepreneurs, including Ye Xiu, the chairmen of Aven Group, United Group, Datong Group, Nanguo Industry Group, and so on.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± An extremely excited yet solemn voice came from the phone. On one hand, it was because Jiangbei City was going to welcome so many entrepreneurs. On the other hand, it was because of this phone call! He never thought that he would receive a call from this old man one day! ¡­ In just a few minutes¡­ Audis and Jeeps rushed toward Jiangbei International Airport like a sea of carps crossing the river. At this moment, a luxurious private plane slowly landed. Ye Xiu and the big shots who often appeared on the major news and financial media walked down one after another. Ye Xiu, who was walking at the front, took a deep breath and took out his phone to make a call. After a while, the call went through. ¡°Sect Master, I¡¯ve brought the core members of my sect to Jiangbei. I wonder when I can pay you a visit?¡± Ye Xiu said respectfully. Back in Modu, Ye Xiu had already told Lin Fan about the businesses and forces that the Qing Hong Sect controlled. However, Ye Xiu felt that he was lacking in sincerity by not bringing them to meet Lin Fan personally. After all, even if it were a group of dogs, he should let them meet their owner. Otherwise, if they met the sect master in the future but did not recognize him, what should he do? Therefore, he asked Lin Fan for his opinion a few days ago. Lin Fan, who had just arrived at the lecture hall, was stunned when he received Ye Xiu¡¯s call. He did not expect Ye Xiu to bring those people to Jiangbei so quickly. After a while, Lin Fan said, ¡°Since you¡¯re already here, then come over. I¡¯m in Lecture Hall 3 of Jiangbei University.¡± ¡°I understand,¡± Ye Xiu replied respectfully. As soon as he hung up the phone, a large number of Audis and Jeeps arrived at the airport. A large group of men in white shirts and camouflage uniforms walked out. They hurriedly stood in a line and shouted in unison, ¡°Welcome to Jiangbei, entrepreneurs!¡± Hong Hanlin, who was walking at the front, said, ¡°Mr. Ye, I¡¯m sorry we¡¯re late.¡± Ye Xiu smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯re Mr. Hong, right? I appreciate you coming to the airport despite your busy schedule. Besides, we just arrived.¡± Ye Xiu¡¯s tone was not this friendly the last time he was at Modu Airport. After all, with his status, there was indeed no need for him to be polite. Today, he was calm when facing Hong Hanlin. It was all because Lin Fan was from Jiang Province. ¡°It¡¯s only right!¡± Hong Hanlin hurriedly said. ¡°It¡¯s rare for Jiang Province to welcome you and so many outstanding entrepreneurs. Of course, we have to come and welcome you ourselves. ¡°Mr. Ye, you must be tired from traveling. Why don¡¯t I arrange for you to have a good rest in the hotel?¡± Ye Xiu waved his hand. ¡°We¡¯ve been resting on the plane, so we won¡¯t be resting for the time being.¡± The last time he went to Modu, he was suffering from several illnesses and was very weak. Even then, he did not rest immediately. Instead, he went to see Lin Fan. Now that Ye Xiu¡¯s body had completely recovered, he definitely would not rest. Recovered? That was right! He had fully recovered! After Ye Xiu drank the Medical Water, he felt that his illness had completely disappeared. After a detailed examination at the hospital, this was confirmed. Because of this, Lin Fan was no longer just a direct descendant of the Qing Hong Sect¡¯s patriarch in Ye Xiu¡¯s heart; he was the current master of the Qing Hong Sect and his savior! ¡°But if it¡¯s convenient for you, you can send us to Jiangbei University.¡± ¡°It¡¯s convenient!¡± Hong Hanlin hurriedly said. Following that, Ye Xiu and the many chairmen present were all invited into the Audis and Jeeps. After that, they continued to make their way to Jiangbei University. ¡­ At this moment, in Lecture Hall 3 of Jiangbei University¡­ There were dozens of entrepreneurs, as well as some heads and leaders of various departments of Jiangbei University, present. Many entrepreneurs walked onto the stage and shared information about the company they worked for, as well as the positions and number of people they would be hiring. When a round-faced man walked down the stage, Zheng Cong tidied his clothes and slowly walked up. He turned on the mike he had prepared beforehand and said, ¡°Good morning, teachers, leaders, and entrepreneurs of Jiangbei University! ¡°I¡¯m Zheng Cong, the human resources director of Huidong Accounting Firm. Huidong Accounting Firm is one of the top ten largest accounting firms in the country. We serve a wide range of listed companies and have more than 5,000 employees in the country¡­ ¡°In Huidong Accounting Firm, we have two paths of development. ¡°Firstly, there¡¯s the accounting analyst route. The levels for accountants are one-star, two-star, three-star, four-star, five-star¡­ ¡°Secondly, there¡¯s the management path. It¡¯s split into Level P1, Level P2, Level P3, Level P4, Level P5¡­¡± ¡°The benefits of P1 and one-star are the same¡­ The annual salary of P1s and one-stars is 300,000 yuan, the annual salary of P2s and two-stars is 500,000 yuan, and after reaching P3 and three-star, the annual salary is 800,000 yuan. At the same time, employees will receive the company¡¯s stock incentive! ¡°P4s and four-stars have an annual salary of more than 1.5 million yuan and a high stock incentive! Oh right, my position as the human resources director is at P4. ¡°Also, I have something to tell the teachers and professors here. I¡¯m a student who graduated from Jiangbei University. ¡°I joined Huidong Accounting Firm five years ago and started as an intern. In a short five years, I became the HR director, a P4-level position. ¡°So, what I want to say is that as long as my juniors are willing to come to Huidong Accounting Firm, they¡¯ll definitely have a bright future! ¡°We all come from the same educational background. If I can do it, you can definitely do it too!¡± Chapter 458 - 458 Representative; End Early 458 Representative; End Early Zheng Cong became more and more excited as he spoke. His voice also became more and more high-pitched. At this moment, he felt as if his entire body was blooming with light. He thought that he must appear so dazzling and eye-catching right now. Then, Zheng Cong¡¯s gaze landed on Hu Tian, who was below the stage. It was as if he was saying, ¡®Did you hear that? My annual salary is more than 1.5 million yuan, and I have a high stock incentive!¡¯ Then, he did not forget to look at Lin Fan as if he was saying, ¡®Although you and Hu Tian work together, you can¡¯t compare to me!¡¯ Zheng Cong said a few more words before slowly walking down the stage. According to the arranged order, it should be a tall and thin man who went on stage next to give his speech. However, Wang Haoran, who was sitting at the back, took the lead and walked up. The tall and thin man was stunned. However, he did not say anything. After all, this was just a seminar. It did not matter who went first. In Wang Haoran¡¯s heart, however, this was not the case. That was because¡­ Zheng Cong had just mentioned his annual salary and benefits. Perhaps he had already left a good impression on Hu Tian. What if Hu Tian had a good impression of him? What should he do then? Wang Haoran felt that it was necessary to stop or reduce Hu Tian¡¯s favorable impression of Zheng Cong at the first possible moment. Therefore, he quickly walked onto the stage. ¡°Good morning, school leaders and entrepreneurs! ¡°I¡¯m Wang Haoran, the vice president of Feitu Network. Feitu Network has 20 branches in the country and a total of more than 4,000 employees. Our main focus is on developing games, chat software, social software, web page maintenance, and so on. ¡°We, Feitu Network, have many routes of development. ¡°If you like software development, you can directly join the technical department. ¡°If you like the news, you can join the entertainment department. ¡°If you like to communicate with others, you can join the sales and public relations departments.¡± ¡­ ¡°All in all, Feitu Network recruits all kinds of talents. ¡°In addition, the salary of P1 employees is 300,000 yuan per year, plus a bonus of more than 120,000 yuan. ¡°P2 employees receive a salary of 500,000 a year, plus a bonus of 150,000. ¡°P3 employees receive a salary of 800,000 yuan per year, plus a 300,000 yuan bonus and equity incentive. ¡°P4 employees will have an annual salary of one million yuan, plus a bonus of more than 500,000 yuan, as well as a large amount of equity incentive. ¡°P5 employees receive a salary of two million, plus a bonus of one million and a large amount of equity incentive. ¡°Many people find it extremely difficult to climb the corporate ladder in most companies¡­ It can even be said that the path is full of obstacles. ¡°However, Feitu is different. We¡¯re still in the rising stage. As long as you have the ability, you can be promoted very quickly. ¡°Let me use myself as an example. Just like Director Zheng from Huidong Accounting Firm, I graduated from Jiangbei University. He spent five years to become a P4-level employee of Huidong, while I only spent four years going from P1 to P5 at Feitu Network! Look, I¡¯ve already become the vice president of Feitu Network!¡± When Wang Haoran said this, his pitch became extremely high, and his gaze landed on Hu Tian. It was as if he was saying, ¡®Hu Tian, did you hear me? I¡¯m at the P5 level! I have an annual salary of two million, plus a bonus of more than one million, as well as a large amount of equity incentive!¡¯ In Wang Haoran¡¯s opinion, he was definitely like an angel with a pair of pure white wings in Hu Tian¡¯s eyes at this moment. He was extremely charming! The more he thought about it, the wider the smile on Wang Haoran¡¯s face became. Then, he did not forget to cast a smug look at Zheng Cong. Wang Haoran said a few more words and slowly walked off the stage. After the company representatives went on stage to speak, Feng Weijian, the vice-chancellor of Jiangbei University, finally picked up the microphone and said, ¡°Thank you very much to the representatives of the various companies for coming to our school to recruit talents. ¡°This is a sign of trust in our school and their high opinion of our school¡¯s nurturing of students¡­ ¡°I already know the number of recruits each company is hiring, but there¡¯s still a huge gap compared to the number of our graduates this year. I wonder if there¡¯ll be any increase in the number of positions? ¡°I can guarantee that if you choose more students from Jianghai University, it¡¯ll bring more benefits to your companies in the future!¡± The representatives looked at each other, but no one spoke. After all, the number of people and positions hired were things that the company had already decided on according to their needs. They could not increase them at will. Wang Haoran, who was sitting below the stage, muttered, ¡°Vice-Chancellor Feng is right! Hiring more students from Jianghai University will bring more benefits to the companies. I agree with this very much! ¡°As I graduated from Jiangbei University myself, I understand the University of Jianghai and its spirit! Feitu Network can add another 20 positions!¡± ¡°Good!¡± Feng Weijian said happily. ¡°On behalf of the graduating students of Jiangbei University, I¡¯d like to thank Director Wang!¡± Wang Haoran¡¯s face was also full of smiles. Then, he cast a smug look at Hu Tian. This scene was witnessed by Zheng Cong. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°I also agree with Vice-Chancellor Feng¡¯s point of view. Therefore, Huidong Accounting Firm will also add another 20 positions!¡± ¡°Alright, alright!¡± Feng Weijian said. ¡°Thank you, Director Zheng!¡± When Zheng Cong heard this, he also smiled at Hu Tian. Chapter 459 - 459 Representative; End Early (2) 459 Representative; End Early (2) Just one sentence could decide the future of 20 more people! Zheng Cong and Wang Haoran thought that Hu Tian must think they were like nobles from ancient times who held great power. Feng Weijian was about to say something else¡­ At this moment, there was a dull knock on the door. Hence, Feng Weijian could only turn sideways and say, ¡°Please come in.¡± The next moment, everyone in the lecture hall was stunned. That was because a large group of people had suddenly walked in from outside. Among them were people from various ethnicities with different skin types¡­ They made the originally spacious lecture hall a little crowded. If an ordinary person suddenly saw someone from a different race with a different skin color, they would be filled with curiosity. However, the people present were all leaders and representatives of major companies and often dealt with foreigners. Therefore, they were only a little puzzled and were not too curious. At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed. ¡°The chairman of Aven Group, Herrs?!¡± After this voice sounded, it was as if a huge stone had been thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. Soon, someone else shouted. ¡°It¡¯s Herrs!¡± ¡°Heavens!¡± ¡°Why is he here?¡± One had to know¡­ Aven Group was one of the top 500 corporations in the world! As the founder of Aven Group, Herrs had an extremely legendary life! Many people present had read his biography and interviews and regarded him as their idol! Now, he had actually appeared in front of them! Then¡­ ¡°Li Jiawei, the chairman of Datong Group!¡± ¡°It¡¯s Li Jiawei! I saw him on the news yesterday!¡± ¡°That¡¯s the chairman of Nanguo Industry Group, Henry Jack!¡± ¡°That¡¯s the chairman of Liwa Group, Michael!¡± ¡­ Waves of shouts rose and fell, causing the entire lecture hall to become incomparably noisy. Most of the people in the lecture hall were from the upper echelons of major companies. They had gone through all sorts of experiences and had the ability to remain calm and composed. However, at this moment, all of them actually stood up, as if they were ordinary people who had seen their idols. They were so excited that their faces were red. One had to know¡­ Jiawen Group, United Group, Datong Group, Nanguo Industry Group, and Liwa Group were in the world¡¯s top 500 giant companies. How many people were there in the lecture hall? Hundreds of people! Hundreds of chairmen of various giant companies had appeared in front of them! No wonder they were so excited. In fact¡­ Not only were the representatives excited, but Feng Weijian, the vice-chancellor of Jiangbei University, was also very excited. As the vice-chancellor of a university, he needed to have knowledge in all fields. He often read the financial news and knew what Aven Group, United Group, Datong Group, and other companies represented. With the arrival of these chairmen at Jiangbei University, the university stood to receive endless benefits! It was an opportunity! This was a rare opportunity! Feng Weijian was about to speak when he thought of this. At this moment, Ye Xiu, who was walking at the front with a head full of hair, said to Lin Fan, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Then, the chairman of Aven Group, Herrs, the chairman of Datong Group, Li Jiawei, the chairman of Nanguo Industry Group, Henry Jack, and more than a hundred chairmen of other giant companies, who were standing behind Ye Xiu, shouted respectfully in unison, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Their voices were not very loud. However, it was like a clap of thunder, causing everyone¡¯s ears to buzz. Everyone froze! Hundreds of chairmen of giant companies all took the initiative to greet one person? In fact, their tone seemed to be respectful? This¡­ This¡­ Everyone could not believe their ears. Rather, they felt like they were dreaming. Everyone could not help but look over at Lin Fan. When they saw that it was a young man, they were even more surprised and aghast. Lin Fan remained calm as he nodded his head. ¡°Hello.¡± After all, he had already received Ye Xiu¡¯s call. After a pause, Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s almost graduation season. If there are any vacant positions in your company, please provide some jobs to my school¡¯s graduates.¡± Herrs, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses, was the first to speak in his somewhat broken Chinese, ¡°Our Aven Group can provide at least 1,000 jobs. As for the salary, the starting annual salary can be one million yuan.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Not bad.¡± Praise! Mr. Lin actually praised him! Even though it was just a simple praise, it made Herrs so happy that he could not control himself. Li Jiawei, the chairman of Datong Group, Henry Jack, the chairman of Nanguo Industry Group, and the others all looked at him with jealousy. However, their speed was not slow either. They shouted one after another. ¡°Datong Group can also provide at least 1,000 jobs with an annual salary of no less than one million!¡± ¡°Liwa Group can provide at least 1,000 jobs with an annual salary of no less than one million!¡± ¡°Nanguo Industry Group can provide at least 1,000 jobs with an annual salary of no less than one million!¡± ¡­ The entire lecture hall became extremely noisy again. These sounds seemed to have produced a huge sound wave that directly numbed the ears of everyone in the lecture hall and even their entire bodies. 1,000 jobs with an annual salary of no less than one million! One had to know¡­ These were all giant companies. Many of them were companies that many people yearned to join. This made some people have the urge to ask, ¡®If I resign now, can I join?¡¯ Lin Fan¡¯s expression remained the same. After everyone told him about the recruitment situation of their company, he turned to Feng Weijian and said, ¡°Vice-Chancellor Feng, these positions should be enough, right?¡± Feng Weijian was dumbfounded when he heard the number of employees and the benefits offered by these chairmen. At that moment, he heard Lin Fan¡¯s question and slowly came back to his senses. He said excitedly, ¡°They¡¯re enough!¡± What a joke! There were hundreds of chairmen of giant companies standing here. Most of them said that they could hire at least 1,000 people with an annual salary of one million. With an annual salary of one million, there was naturally nothing to say! That was a very high salary! Most of the chairmen here said they could hire at least 1,000 people, and there were hundreds of chairmen standing here. In other words, they could provide at least 100,000 jobs! What a terrifying number! One had to know¡­ There were less than 10,000 graduates from Jiangbei University every year. Now, there were 100,000 positions to choose from! In the past, it was mostly dozens or hundreds of graduates fighting for a job. Now, every student had ten jobs to choose from! This was simply¡­ Unimaginable! Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, this conference can end early.¡± Then, he said to Hu Tian, ¡°Teacher Tiantian, let¡¯s go to the hotel and confirm the specific positions with the chairmen of these companies. How about that?¡± Hu Tian looked at Lin Fan with a pair of beautiful eyes that were faintly shining. She knew that Lin Fan had solved many math problems, invented many high-tech products, and was the largest shareholder of Dahua Group and Yadi Automobile. He even had a good relationship with Qin Weiming and Zhang Jian. However, Hu Tian never expected that so many chairmen of giant companies would come to the school and be so respectful to Lin Fan. At this moment, in Hu Tian¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan¡¯s body was emitting an extremely dazzling light. It was so mesmerizing. If not for the fact that there were many other people here, Hu Tian would have thrown herself into Lin Fan¡¯s arms. ¡°Alright,¡± Hu Tian said softly after a while. Chapter 460 - 460 Rejoice; Reason! (1) 460 Rejoice; Reason! (1) Lin Fan nodded his head and said to Ye Xiu and the hundreds of chairmen, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± Ye Xiu and the others said respectfully. Then, they retreated to two sides, like lowly servants who were deliberately making way for their master. This scene¡­ Everyone, including Vice-Chancellor Feng Weijian, was stunned once again. Previously, everyone understood that the reason why these chairmen were here was because of Lin Fan. Even so, no one had expected that Lin Fan would get hundreds of chairmen to free up a quota of 1,000 jobs with an annual salary of one million. Now, the chairmen of these companies were even retreating to the side like servants. This¡­ This¡­ What was the identity of this young man? However, Lin Fan did not walk forward immediately. Instead, he looked at Zheng Cong and Wang Haoran, who were sitting not far away. This glance caused Zheng Cong¡¯s and Wang Haoran¡¯s faces to flush red. From the beginning, Lin Fan had been with Hu Tian. Jst now¡­ he did not ask anyone else but Hu Tian to go to the hotel with him. In addition, Hu Tian looked at Lin Fan with affection. Zheng Cong and Wang Haoran understood that Lin Fan and Hu Tian had probably gotten together a long time ago. Yet they actually had feelings for Hu Tian just now. They even talked about their positions, salaries, and power. How could they boast about their positions, salaries, and power in front of a person who could easily get the chairmen of hundreds of giant companies to come up with 100,000 jobs, all with an annual salary of one million yuan? How could they boast about their positions, salaries, and power in front of a man who made hundreds of chairmen give way to him like servants? What a joke! At this moment, Zheng Cong and Wang Haoran were both frightened and embarrassed. They wished they could find a hole in the ground and hide in it. If Lin Fan was unhappy with him and curled his finger, their entire lives would be over. Lin Fan did not continue to pay attention to the two of them. He walked out with Hu Tian under everyone¡¯s gaze. Ye Xiu and the hundreds of chairmen followed closely behind. After they left, the entire lecture hall became empty again. The representatives of the various companies who had gone on stage to give their speeches were still stunned and surprised. Everyone was still shocked by the arrival of those chairmen, as well as their respectful treatment of a young man. In contrast to the shock of the company representatives, Vice-Chancellor Feng Weijian was filled with joy. His entire face was already wrinkled like a crumpled cloth. He could imagine how sensational it would be when these jobs were announced. Just how much benefits would this bring to Jiangbei University? Feng Weijian said happily, ¡°Today¡¯s conference is over. On behalf of all the teachers and students of Jiangbei University, I¡¯d like to thank everyone for coming. I still have some things to deal with, so I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± After saying that, he prepared to walk out. He wanted to tell the chancellor the good news as soon as possible. At this moment, someone could not help but ask, ¡°May I ask who¡¯s that person just now?¡± Everyone¡¯s ears perked up. Obviously, they were also very curious about this. ¡°He¡¯s Professor Lin Fan from Jiangbei University!¡± Feng Weijian said. Professor Lin Fan! Everyone felt as if they had been struck by lightning. In the entire world, there were many people called Lin Fan. However, Lin Fan was only in his 20s and was a professor at Jiangbei University. He could only be one person! He was the super genius who had solved several unsolved mathematical problems, invented the earthquake prediction device, super battery, human islet recovery drug, carbon-based photolithographic machine, advanced prosthetic limbs, and other high-tech products! Then, everyone gradually revealed a look of realization. No wonder so many chairmen of giant companies were so polite to him. He was Lin Fan! Zheng Cong¡¯s and Wang Haoran¡¯s faces turned even redder. ¡­ Lin Fan, Hu Tian, Ye Xiu, and hundreds of chairmen quickly arrived at the most luxurious hotel in Jiangbei, the Imperial Hotel. The chairman of the Imperial Hotel, Wang Fengyi, had already received news that many important figures were coming. Therefore, he had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Lin Fan walking at the very front and those important figures following behind him like servants, he was slightly stunned. It was Lin Fan who spoke first. ¡°Is the banquet hall ready?¡± Only then did Wang Fengyi react and hurriedly say, ¡°It¡¯s all arranged. This way, please¡­¡± Back then, Lin Fan had directly bought the Imperial Hotel. After that, he casually took out a few hundred million yuan to hold a concert. Wang Fengyi knew that his boss, Lin Fan, was definitely a big shot. Only now did Wang Fengyi have a deeper understanding of Lin Fan¡¯s identity. How could this be summarized by the words ¡®big shot¡¯? There were hundreds of big shots following behind him like underlings! Soon, Lin Fan, Hu Tian, Ye Xiu, and the others arrived at the luxurious banquet hall on the 68th floor. Chapter 461 - 461 Rejoice; Reason! (2) 461 Rejoice; Reason! (2) Although there were hundreds of them in total, sitting in this huge banquet hall that was more than a thousand square meters, it still seemed very spacious. It had to be said that the efficiency of the Imperial Hotel was really good. Not long after, delicious dishes were served on the tables. ¡°We¡¯ve been worried about the development of the Qing Hong Sect for many years,¡± Ye Xiu said loudly. ¡°Now, we don¡¯t have to worry anymore! ¡°Because we have the sect master of the Qing Hong Sect! Sect Master, I respect you!¡± His voice was extremely solemn as he raised a glass of white wine. Then¡­ The chairman of Aven Group, Herrs, the chairman of Datong Group, Li Jiawei, and more than a hundred other chairmen of giant companies raised their glasses together and said, ¡°To the sect master!¡± Their voices were loud and imposing. Everyone downed the wine in their glasses in one go. ¡°Thank you, everyone!¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°However, I¡¯m not good at setting up or developing anything. Besides, you have all been doing quite well. ¡°Therefore, the Qing Hong Sect should just continue as before.¡± After saying that, Lin Fan raised his wine glass and downed the contents in one gulp. This meal¡­ Lin Fan was undoubtedly the main character of the show. All the big bosses would come up and toast Lin Fan from time to time. Lin Fan did not reject any of them and raised his glass to drink. The atmosphere of the meal was very lively, and everyone ate very happily. In the afternoon, everyone sat together and chatted, reporting their situation and handing out their business cards. Today, Lin Fan received a huge stack of name cards. Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, the banquet came to an end. Lin Fan sent Hu Tian home. The two of them sat on the soft sofa, quiet. ¡°Teacher Tiantian, do you have anything to ask me?¡± Lin Fan asked. After all, there were so many chairmen of large companies here today, and they all respectfully addressed him as the leader of the Qing Hong Sect. Anyone would be very curious. Lin Fan was also willing to tell his woman some things. However¡­ Hu Tian did not ask. Instead, she leaned her head over. o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ? (¡¥¦ê¡¥?) ¡­ They were tireless, gentle, and sweet. ¡­ When they were in the lecture hall, Hu Tian had already wanted to throw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s arms. She had endured it for an entire day. Now, only the two of them were left. She could no longer hold it in. As for the hundreds of chairmen and the Qing Hong Sect, Hu Tian did not care at all. As long as it was Lin Fan, it was fine. ¡­ It was a sleepless night. ¡­ In reality, Lin Fan and Hu Tian were not the only ones who did not sleep today. On Weibo. Five Elements Missing You: [Do you know? This year, Aven Group is going to provide 1,000 jobs with an annual salary of one million yuan to the fresh graduates of Jiangbei University!] Are You Still Sleeping?: [Yes! Aven Group is one of the top 500 companies in the world. They recruit a lot of employees every year. Jiangbei University is indeed a key university in Hua Nation, and there are many talents there. [However, it¡¯s impossible for Aven Group to offer 1,000 jobs with a starting salary of one million yuan to the fresh graduates of Jiangbei University! [How many positions that have a one million yuan salary does Aven Group have? Not to mention providing 1,000 of them to the fresh graduates of Jiangbei University! This is the biggest joke.] Awakened From A Dream: [The biggest joke? I suggest you take a look at the announcement that Aven Group released an hour ago.] Werewolf Kill: [Heavens! It¡¯s actually true! Aven Group is really going to offer 1,000 jobs with a salary of one million yuan to the fresh graduates of Jiangbei University! [Moreover, it¡¯s not just Aven Group, but Datong Group, Nanguo Industry Group, Liwa Group, and so on. These companies are all in the top 500 companies in the world, and they each announced that they¡¯ll recruit at least 1,000 students at Jiangbei University with an annual salary of one million yuan!] Why Not Eat Meat Paste: [1,000, 1,000, 1,000¡­ How many job opportunities will the graduates of Jiangbei University have?] Protect the Best You: [Crazy! They must be crazy!] Reciprocity: [This¡­ What¡¯s going on? Why do so many big companies suddenly want to hire so many employees at Jiangbei University and give them such high salaries?] Dazed: [I heard it was because of Professor Lin Fan.] Disappointed: [Yes, yes! It must be because of Professor Lin Fan! Other than him, who else could bring so many high-paying jobs to Jiangbei University?] Loneliness: Heavens!: [You guys actually call him Professor Lin Fan. He¡¯s the God of Wealth!] Dou: [Originally, I was still considering whether to apply for Huaqing University or Capital University this year. Now, there¡¯s no need to think about it. I want to go to Jiangbei University!] Eggy¡¯s Sorrow: [I want to go to Jiangbei University too!] Ge Ge: [Me too!] ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. Even though they were tired from last night, Lin Fan and Hu Tian did not look tired at all. Perhaps it was because they had eaten the best bird¡¯s nest, M9 beef, caviar egg tart, abalone, truffle broth, and other delicacies from the two-star Michelin restaurant early in the morning. Lin Fan¡¯s and Hu Tian¡¯s faces were glowing. They looked extremely healthy. Then, the two of them arrived at Jiangbei University. A few days ago, due to the matter of graduation, some of the students from Jiangbei University looked worried. Today, everyone was full of smiles, excitement, and vitality. When Lin Fan and Hu Tian came to a fork in the road, the two of them separated and went to their respective offices. The cat, Lil White, who was lying on Hao Zhiwu¡¯s shoulder, quickly jumped down when it saw Lin Fan. It let out a very clear cry. ¡°Master, you¡¯re here.¡± Lin Fan patted Lil White¡¯s head and opened a bag of premium beef cat food. ¡°Thank you, Master. Master is so kind.¡± Lil White meowed happily as it ate. Hao Zhiwu heard the sound and quickly raised his head. Then, he walked up to Lin Fan excitedly and said, ¡°Professor Lin, are Aven Group, Datong Group, Nanguo Industry Group, Liwa Group, and other companies really going to provide Jiangbei University with 1,000 jobs each with an annual salary of one million yuan?¡± Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, Xia Bing, and Xia Xue also raised their heads. Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, and Jiang Chaoqun were all looking forward to these big companies and the annual salary of one million yuan. That was because, even for them, they were not confident in being able to join those companies. Not to mention, he would get an annual salary of one million yuan. As for Xia Bing and Xia Xue, it was not because of work at all. They only looked up because they had only heard Lin Fan¡¯s voice. The two of them each took out a bottle of energy drink from their bags and handed them to Lin Fan. As usual, Lin Fan drank a mouthful from the two bottles and said, ¡°Yes.¡± Yes! It was actually true! Hao Zhiwu, Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, and Jiang Chaoqun were all surprised and excited. ¡°Why?¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Do you want to join those companies? If you want to, I¡¯ll just give them a call.¡± Everyone shook their heads. What a joke! It was said on the internet that the reason why these big companies suddenly offered so many high-paying jobs to Jiangbei University was all because of Lin Fan. Lin Fan¡¯s words just now had proven this point even more. They were Lin Fan¡¯s students. If they really went to those companies, would they not be tossing away diamond for coal? Moreover, they had learned a lot from Lin Fan and had grown a lot. No matter how one looked at it, continuing to be Lin Fan¡¯s student was the right choice. ¡°How is that possible?¡± Hao Zhiwu said righteously. ¡°My dream is to win the Nobel Prize in bioengineering. That¡¯s why I chose bioengineering! Only by learning from you will I have a chance to realize it!¡± Lin Fan smiled strangely. ¡°Really? But I remember that a large part of the reason why you chose bioengineering is to study the human body more and then think of a way to create a device that can enter the game world with one¡¯s consciousness?¡± Hao Zhiwu¡¯s face turned red. He did not expect Lin Fan to remember that. He could not help but cough dryly. ¡°One¡¯s a reason and one¡¯s an ideal. They aren¡¯t in conflict.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Lin Fan smiled. Chapter 462 - 462 Correct Answer; Go Play! (1) 462 Correct Answer; Go Play! (1) Lin Fan paused for a moment before continuing, ¡°But following me doesn¡¯t mean that you¡¯ll win the Nobel Prize in bioengineering. After all, even I didn¡¯t win the Nobel Prize.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not the time for the Nobel Prize yet,¡± Hao Zhiwu said immediately. ¡°Otherwise, you would¡¯ve definitely won the Nobel Prize. Moreover, you can surely win more than one.¡± Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, and Jiang Chaoqun all nodded. In the eyes of Xia Bing and Xia Xue¡­ Lin Fan was an omnipotent existence. Not to mention winning a few Nobel Prizes, Lin Fan could even fly in the sky in the future. They would choose to believe it without hesitation. As for Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, and Jiang Chaoqun, it was because of their recognition of Lin Fan¡¯s achievements. After all¡­ Lin Fan had invented the earthquake predictor, super batteries, carbon-based engraving machines, advanced artificial limbs, and the human islet recovery drug¡­ Which of these things did not shock the world? In their opinion, he could definitely win the Nobel Prize! Hao Zhiwu seemed to be trying to increase his credibility. He said,¡± Oh right, the Fields Medal, which is known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics, is about to be awarded. I saw a lot of people on the internet saying that this year¡¯s Fields Medal belongs to you, Professor Lin!¡± As he spoke, he quickly opened the academic forum and found the topic of the Fields Medal. [The Candidate for the Fields Medal.] Jack: [If nothing unexpected happens, the winner of this year¡¯s Fields Medal should be Professor Lin Fan from Hua Nation.] MAK: [I think so too.] ONE10: [It can¡¯t be helped. Professor Lin Fan¡¯s achievements are too outstanding.] Hao Zhiwu said, ¡°Professor Lin, everyone is saying that you¡¯re going to win the Fields Medal!¡± Lin Fan pointed at the bottom of the forum. Ultimate Swordsman: [You haven¡¯t seen the latest Annual Mathematics, have you? Professor Arthur Kelvin of Princeton has taken a big step forward in Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis! [Anderwin, Johnson, Alec, Gate, and other mathematics experts all gave Arthur Kelvin¡¯s thesis a very high evaluation! [They even said that Professor Arthur Kelvin might be the person closest to solving Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis! [You all know what Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis means, right?] King: [Professor Arthur Kelvin is indeed amazing. However, even if he solves Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis, he still won¡¯t be as good as Professor Lin Fan. Professor Lin Fan has solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, Hail Conjecture, and Hodge Conjecture!] MJ: [No! The person above probably doesn¡¯t understand. Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis is known as the crown of the century! In other words, as long as one can solve Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis, one will be the greatest mathematician in the world!] Man in the Wind: [If that¡¯s the case, then Professor Lin might not even win the Fields Medal. After all, there¡¯s another important factor in the Fields Medal, and that¡¯d age! Professor Lin Fan is too young. He can wait for the next Fields Medal.] ¡­ After Hao Zhiwu read these comments, he could not help but freeze. There was no such thing yesterday! Otherwise, he would not have specially opened this forum. However, Hao Zhiwu still said, ¡°Uhh¡­ Professor Arthur Kelvin only made progress on Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis. He hasn¡¯t solved it! Professor Lin, you¡¯ll definitely get the Fields Medal.¡± When Lin Fan heard this, he was stunned for a moment. That was because a crisp notification suddenly sounded in his mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve triggered a mission: [Mission: Get your students to answer 12 mathematical function questions. Read Advanced Function, Real Variant Function, Spectral Function, Multivariate Function, and Introduction to Special Function. Reward: Complete proof of Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis, level up Professor-Level Mathematics Experience, and one platinum packet.] Another mission! Moreover, he could even get a platinum packet! Not bad! Hao Zhiwu saw that Lin Fan did not say anything and thought that he was worried about the Fields Medal. ¡°Professor Lin, don¡¯t worry. The Fields Medal will be yours.¡± Then, he turned around and said to Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Liu Qianqian, and the others, ¡°Don¡¯t you think so?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Everyone nodded in unison. Hearing these voices, Lin Fan came back to his senses and said, ¡°Hao Zhiwu, go to the library and help me borrow five books¡ªAdvanced Function, Real Variant Function, Spectral Function, Multivariate Function, and Introduction to Special Function.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Hao Zhiwu was slightly stunned. Were they not talking about Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis and the Fields Medal? Why did he suddenly ask him to go and find books? However, Hao Zhiwu replied, ¡°Alright.¡± Then, he quickly walked out. Lin Fan looked at Hao Zhiwu¡¯s back and rubbed his nose. He muttered in his heart, ¡®Being a teacher doesn¡¯t seem too bad.¡¯ After all, whenever Lin Fan had a mission that required him to read books, he had to go to the library by himself. Now, there were students who could help him get the books. This saved a lot of energy. Then, Lin Fan walked to his desk and quickly wrote down 12 function questions. ¡­ Hao Zhiwu was quite efficient. Not long after, he walked in with five thick books. ¡°Professor, the book you wanted.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Alright, put them down.¡± Chapter 463 - 463 Correct Answer; Go Play! (2) 463 Correct Answer; Go Play! (2) Then, he took out the questions he had just written and said, ¡°Take a break from answering the questions you¡¯ve been studying and answer these questions first.¡± As he spoke, Lin Fan handed out six pages. There were two function questions written on each page. These questions were of moderate difficulty. They could not be answered directly. After all, Lin Fan was a professor now. He had to be wary of his image. Of course, he would give his students a chance to answer the questions. Otherwise, how could he complete the mission? After Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, and the others got the questions, they immediately thought about them seriously and answered them. ¡°Function questions?¡± Hao Zhiwu could not help but ask. ¡°Professor Lin, why do you suddenly want us to do these questions?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t Riemann Hypothesis a function problem?¡± Lin Fan asked. Hao Zhiwu blinked his eyes and looked confused. If he was not mistaken, these function questions were within the range of high-level functions. Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis was a world-class super difficult problem. These two¡­ What was the connection? Hao Zhiwu felt that he could not keep up with Lin Fan¡¯s thoughts. He could only stop thinking about it and focus on answering the questions. Lin Fan casually picked up the first book, Advanced Function. With almost every blink of an eye, he flipped a page. Thus, the originally quiet office was filled with the sound of pages being flipped. In just two minutes, he had finished reading the hundreds of pages of Advanced Function. Then, Lin Fan picked up the second book, Real Variant Function. At the same time, there was another round of pages being flipped. This scene attracted the attention of Hao Zhiwu, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, and Jiang Chaoqun. They raised their heads and looked over curiously. ¡°Professor Lin, are you looking for something?¡± Hao Zhiwu asked. ¡°Do you want me to help?¡± ¡°Yeah, we can help too.¡± The others echoed. It was no wonder that was what everyone thought. Lin Fan¡¯s flipping speed was simply too fast. Who could read like that? Even though Lin Fan was usually very fast when he flipped through the questions they answered, everyone just thought it was because he was very familiar with these questions. Thus, he only needed to see the key points. This situation was considered normal. Lin Fan waved his hand. ¡°I¡¯m reading. Just answer the questions quickly.¡± As he spoke, he continued to flip through the book without stopping. When Xia Bing and Xia Xue heard this, they lowered their heads and focused on answering the questions again. Since Lin Fan said that he was reading, then he was definitely reading! They would always choose to believe Lin Fan¡¯s words unconditionally. Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, and Hao Zhiwu looked at each other with confusion written all over their faces. They looked at Xia Bing and Xia Xue, who were answering the questions seriously, and then lowered their heads. ¡­ In just ten minutes, Lin Fan had finished reading all five books. Hence, he focused his attention on the system mission. [Mission: Get your students to answer 12 mathematical function questions (0/12). Read Advanced Function, Real Variant Function, Spectral Function, Multivariate Function, and Introduction to Special Function (5/5). Reward: Complete proof of Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis, level up Professor-Level Mathematics Experience, and one platinum packet.] Lin Fan looked at Xia Bing, Xia Xue, and the others who were writing the steps on the draft paper. He could not help but mutter in his heart, ¡®No one has solved a single question yet. Did I make the questions too difficult?¡¯ He shook his head, sat on the soft executive chair, put on the gaming helmet, and entered the game world, where he galloped wantonly. He rode a horse, stepped on the grassland, and slayed monsters! He looked at the turbulent sea from afar and enjoyed the cool breeze blowing wantonly¡­ In the game world, time flowed like water. When Lin Fan took off his gaming helmet, it was already two hours later. He looked at the students and asked, ¡°Have you solved the problem?¡± Liu Qianqian looked at Xia Bing and Xia Xue beside her who were holding a draft book, wanting to speak but not being able to¡­ She said, ¡°Xia Bing and Xia Xue have already solved the two questions, but they saw that you were playing with the game helmet, so they didn¡¯t disturb you. ¡°I just finished answering them.¡± Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up slightly. He picked up Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s draft books and nodded repeatedly. ¡°Good answers!¡± Lin Fan¡­was praising them! Xia Bing and Xia Xue were like children who had eaten honey. Their faces were full of joy and turned red. They were very beautiful. Then, Lin Fan picked up Liu Qianqian¡¯s draft book and said, ¡°Your answers are correct.¡± ¡°Professor, I¡¯ve solved the questions as well,¡± Nie Zhenjiang said. Lin Fan was not surprised that he managed to solve the questions. After all, he was a mathematics student. He looked at the answers and said, ¡°Correct.¡± Jiang Chaoqun, who was at the side, could not help but speed up the solving process. After a while, he said, ¡°I¡¯ve answered them.¡± ¡°Yes, the answers are correct,¡± Lin Fan said. Then, Lin Fan looked at Hao Zhiwu. Hao Zhiwu suddenly felt pressured. ¡°Professor, I¡¯ve already solved one question. I¡¯m almost done with the second one.¡± After all, everyone else had finished answering the questions. He was the only one left. There was indeed some pressure. In fact, such a situation was very normal. Firstly, Hao Zhiwu was a biology student and was not very good at math questions. Secondly, Hao Zhiwu was very interested in gaming helmets. Lin Fan was sitting in front and playing with the helmet. How could he focus on answering the questions? ¡°Alright. Good luck, then. After answering the questions, you can play with the gaming helmet,¡± Lin Fan said. Obviously, Lin Fan knew how to motivate Hao Zhiwu. ¡°Really?¡± Hao Zhiwu said excitedly. Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°Yes. Those of you who have answered the questions can now play with the gaming helmet.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Liu Qianqian said happily. Although she was not as obsessed with the gaming helmet as Hao Zhiwu was, she also liked it very much. She was the first to pick up the gaming helmet and put it on. Then, Nie Zhenjiang and Jiang Chaoqun also picked up their gaming helmets. Lin Fan said to Xia Bing and Xia Xue, ¡°You guys can play too. Work hard and rest enough.¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue nodded repeatedly. Hao Zhiwu saw that everyone was playing with the gaming helmet. He thought that as long as he answered the last question, he could play with them. Filled with fighting spirit, he buried his head and worked hard to answer the last question. The effect was very obvious. In just 20 minutes, Hao Zhiwu held the draft paper and said, ¡°Professor, I¡¯m done!¡± However, Lin Fan did not have any intention of reading the draft paper. That was because a clear notification had already sounded in his mind. [Ding! Mission completed: Get your students to answer 12 mathematical function questions (12/12). Read Advanced Function, Real Variant Function, Spectral Function, Multivariate Function, and Introduction to Special Function (5/5). Reward: Complete proof of Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis, level up Professor-Level Mathematics Experience, and one platinum packet.] [Ding! Upgrade successful! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received Holy-Level Mathematics Experience!] Instantly, the entire process of solving Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s mind, as well as countless complicated mathematical knowledge. These things were like a tidal wave, rippling endlessly in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. Hao Zhiwu saw that Lin Fan did not take his draft paper to check the answers and thought that he did not hear him. ¡°Professor, I¡¯ve finished answering the questions.¡± After all, he was still waiting for Lin Fan to check the answers. Then, he could play with the gaming helmet. Lin Fan said, ¡°Alright, you can go play with the gaming helmet too.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± said Hao Zhiwu excitedly. After saying that, he threw the draft paper to the side, picked up the gaming helmet, and put it on his head. As for why Lin Fan did not check if he had answered the questions correctly? Hao Zhiwu was not bothered about this. What could be more important than playing with the gaming helmet? Chapter 464 - 464 Answer; Riemanns Hypothesis! (1) 464 Answer; Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis! (1) In the office, other than Lin Fan, everyone wore their gaming helmets and was completely immersed in the game world. The entire office was very quiet. Lin Fan had already played with the gaming helmet for two hours. He had no intention of continuing to play. Lin Fan returned to the soft chair and listened to the happy purring of Lil White, who had almost buried its head in the premium beef cat food. ¡°Delicious! ¡°It¡¯s really delicious!¡± Lin Fan smiled and shook his head. First, he played with his phone for a while. Then, he turned his attention to the computer screen. He muttered, ¡°Since I have nothing to do, I¡¯ll just write down the process of solving Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis.¡± Then, Lin Fan opened a Word document. His hands flew as they quickly jumped on the keyboard. ¦Õ=(-3¦Ð)/4+sin3+cos£¨-5¦Ð£©/8.. dx/dt=3t^2/(1+t^3)dy/d.. c(x)+is(x)=exp(ix)x/[1-exp(ix)x].. ¡­ Lines after lines of extremely complicated calculations appeared on the screen. Fortunately, Lin Fan had Expert Hacking Skills and Academician-Level Computer Skills. Otherwise, he would not be able to solve Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis on a computer. These complicated calculations and symbols were probably difficult to write. Lin Fan did not even think about it at all as he did all the calculations. This was because these things seemed to have been engraved in his mind. Very soon¡­ Page after page of the Word document was filled with densely packed characters. About an hour later, the 42-page proof of Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis appeared in the Word document. Lin Fan¡¯s physique was much stronger than normal people. Otherwise, he would have been exhausted from writing so much on the computer in an hour. Lin Fan stretched his neck and said, ¡°Lil White.¡± ¡°Master, are you calling me?¡± The super smart watch on Lin Fan¡¯s wrist let out a crisp sound. Its display screen also flickered. Lin Fan said, ¡°Who else could I be calling?¡± A red arrow appeared on the display of the super smart watch, and the other end of the arrow pointed at Lil White, the cat. Perhaps it was because Lin Fan had called Lil White. At this moment, the cat also raised its head and looked over curiously. Then, it let out a loud cry. ¡°Meow! Master, are you calling me?¡± Lin Fan rubbed his nose. He had almost forgotten that there was a cat named Lil White here. Moreover, it could communicate with him too. He turned to Lil White and said, ¡°I¡¯m not calling you. Continue eating.¡± ¡°Meow! Yes, Master.¡± Lil White let out another loud cry before burying its head in the premium beef cat food again. Then, Lin Fan said to the super smart watch, ¡°Lil White, write the proof of Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis for me and send it to Annual Mathematics. ¡°Put my name for the first author. ¡°As for the second author¡­¡± As Lin Fan said this, he looked at the six students who were wearing gaming helmets. Then, he continued, ¡°The second authors will be Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, and Hao Zhiwu. ¡°It¡¯s still the same as before. Let them review it as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Leave it to me, Master!¡± said the super-smart watch. At the same time as it made a crisp sound, a meme of someone working hard appeared. Seeing this, Lin Fan could not help but want to laugh. It had to be said that the efficiency of the super smart watch was amazing. In less than a minute, the perfect Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis thesis appeared on the screen. Then, it sent the thesis to the editorial department of Annual Mathematics through Lin Fan¡¯s email. At this moment¡­ Lin Fan suddenly thought of the academic forum that Hao Zhiwu had shown him. ¡°Lil White, help me register an academic forum account and post the entire process of my Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis. there¡± Lin Fan looked at the memes on the super smart watch and wanted to laugh. When did it become so weird? Lin Fan shook his head and started playing with his phone. ¡­ Meanwhile, at Princeton University in the United States. Arthur Kelvin took a briefcase and walked toward his office. He ran into a professor named Funival with flowery hair who shouted, ¡°Professor Arthur Kelvin, congratulations!¡± ¡°Congratulations for what?¡± Arthur Kelvin asked. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s for your progress on Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis!¡± Funival said. Arthur Kelvin said, ¡°This is just one point of progress, but it¡¯s not the solution to Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis. It¡¯s nothing.¡± ¡°This isn¡¯t just a little progress,¡± Funival said. ¡°Now, you¡¯re known by mathematicians all over the world as the person closest to solving Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis! ¡°Even if you can¡¯t solve Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis in a short period of time, with this great progress, you¡¯ll definitely win the Fields Medal this year!¡± ¡°It¡¯s hard to say.¡± Arthur Kelvin waved his hand. ¡°After all, Professor Lin Fan from Hua Nation is a math genius who solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, Hail Conjecture, Hodge Conjecture, and many other difficult problems.¡± ¡°Professor Lin Fan is indeed a rare genius,¡± Funival said. ¡°However, how could these problems compare to Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis? This year¡¯s Fields Medal is definitely yours.¡± Chapter 465 - 465 Answer; Riemanns Hypothesis! (2) 465 Answer; Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis! (2) ¡°I just made some progress on Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis.¡± Arthur Kelvin waved his hand again. ¡°Maybe Professor Lin Fan will solve Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis soon? ¡°Therefore, his chances are still very high.¡± Although Arthur Kelvin said so, a faint smile appeared on his face. Where there were people, there would naturally be competition. The academic world was no exception. Even though Lin Fan had solved difficult math problems, Arthur Kelvin had made progress on Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis. His chances of winning the Fields Medal were higher than Lin Fan¡¯s. Arthur Kelvin was a professor at Princeton University. Preston University was the holy land of the mathematics world. It had a very high say in various international awards. The right to interpret the award was in their hands! They only needed to come up with a reason, such as the importance of Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis, to shut everyone up. In fact, not long after Arthur Kelvin published his thesis on Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis in Annual Mathematics, someone from the Fields Medal committee asked him to prepare his acceptance speech. This matter also made Arthur so happy that he could not sleep well for several days. Even now, whenever the Fields Medals were mentioned, he would get excited. ¡°Answer Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis?¡± Funival asked. ¡°Professor Lin would have to answer it within a month, but that¡¯s impossible.¡± Impossible? In fact, Arthur Kelvin thought so too. He was just casually saying that. At this moment, Professor Jeffrey walked over in a hurry. ¡°Good morning, Professor Jeffrey,¡± Arthur Kelvin greeted.¡± Now, whenever he saw a mathematics professor, he wanted to greet them. Then, he would listen to them praise his progress on Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis. This was something that made him very happy. ¡°Good morning,¡± Jeffrey replied casually. After saying that, he was about to continue walking quickly into the distance. ¡°Professor Jeffrey, why are you in such a hurry?¡± Funival asked. ¡°Did something happen?¡± Professor Jeffrey looked back and seemed to notice that the person who greeted him was Arthur Kelvin. He said, ¡°Professor Arthur Kelvin, why are you still here? Didn¡¯t you see the academic forum?¡± Arthur Kelvin was a little confused. ¡°Academic forum?¡± After all, it was just a place for rookie academicians to chat. The real research and mathematics experts rarely went there. Arthur Kelvin did not understand why Jeffrey would suddenly ask about the academic forum. ¡°You really don¡¯t know?¡± Jeffrey asked. ¡°The complete solution to Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis was published on the academic forum!¡± After Arthur Kelvin heard this, his heart suddenly beat faster. Beside him, Funival said in a relaxed manner, ¡°The Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis has been solved on the academic forum? What¡¯s there to see?¡± Arthur¡¯s heart immediately calmed down. That was right. What was there to see? He was really worried just now. Every once in a while, someone would claim to have solved Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis in some magazine or news article. However, what was the truth? The steps to answer the question were full of flaws and were simply pieced together haphazardly. It was the same for magazines and news, let alone forums. Was that not a place where one could say whatever one wanted? Jeffree clearly understood what the two were thinking. He said seriously, ¡°It¡¯s different this time! This is because the ID for the complete Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis is Lin Fan!¡± This sentence was like a heavy hammer that hit Arthur¡¯s head, making his ears buzz. Lin Fan¡­ This name represented too many things. He was a publicly acknowledged genius in the mathematics world! If it was him¡­ ¡°His ID is Lin Fan? Could it be that someone else registered it? After all, Professor Lin Fan has never published anything on the forum or anywhere else. He always submits his papers to top journals like Nature, Science, and Annual Mathematics.¡± Arthur Kelvin could not help but nod. That was right! That was right! Someone else must have registered the account! At the same time, his heart also calmed down. ¡°I think it should be him,¡± Jeffrey said. ¡°Because the answer on the forum has already attracted the attention of Professor Adivan, Professor Kus, and many other big names¡­ ¡°To be able to write such a standard solution, I don¡¯t think that person would impersonate someone else.¡± Arthur Kelvin¡¯s heart tightened again. He knew that Jeffrey was right. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. At this time, the phone in Arthur Kelvin¡¯s pocket rang. He looked at the caller ID. It was the chief editor of Annual Mathematics. As soon as he pressed the answer button, the familiar voice of the managing editor sounded. ¡°Professor Arthur Kelvin, you¡¯re a big name in Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis. The editorial department of Annual Mathematics has received proof of Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis from Professor Lin Fan. It involves very complicated calculations. Can you help us review it?¡± Arthur Kelvin seemed to have been struck by a bolt of lightning. He was completely stunned on the spot. He only caught the first sentence. As for what was said after that, Arthur Kelvin did not hear it at all. Princeton University had a very high status in mathematics. They could use the excuse of Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis being the most important problem, which would allow them to gain more attention. At the same time, Lin Fan, who had answered a few difficult questions before, could be downplayed. In the end, it would be him, Arthur Kelvin, who won the Fields Medal. Now? Lin Fan had solved Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis. How could he get attention now? One had to know¡­ All mathematicians agreed that whoever solved Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis would be the greatest mathematician in the world. Now, Lin Fan had solved Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis. In that case, he would be the greatest mathematician! Who else could the Fields Medal be given to? No one could stop it! As for whether or not Lin Fan answered correctly, Arthur did not think about it. According to Lin Fan¡¯s past situations¡­ As long as he submitted a thesis to a journal, there would be no problem! Furthermore, Lin Fan even uploaded the complete solution to Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis on the academic forum. If a top expert like Lin Fan did not have 90% confidence, he definitely would not do something like this. This was because once a problem was detected, it would have a huge impact on his reputation. Even if there were some problems in the process of answering the question¡­ His steps would definitely be a huge step forward for Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis! Arthur Kelvin knew¡­ It was over! He would not be getting his Fields Medal anymore! The chief editor of Annual Mathematics heard no response on the phone, so he said, ¡°Professor Arthur Kelvin, can you hear me? Can you help me review Professor Lin Fan¡¯s Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis proof process?¡± There was a hint of urgency in his tone. After all, Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis was known as the brightest pearl in the mathematics world of this century. Now, this pearl was very likely to be picked by someone in Annual Mathematics. This was definitely a moment to witness history. Even though Annual Mathematics was a top journal, it was still an honor for them. Arthur Kelvin came back to his senses and said, ¡°Alright, please send the manuscript to my email.¡± Chapter 466 - 466 Skill; Night Vision! 466 Skill; Night Vision! Arthur Kelvin¡¯s idea was very simple. Only by reviewing the thesis himself could he find the possible problems. In this way, he might still have a glimmer of hope for the Fields Medal. Even if it was just a trace of hope, he had to try! ¡­ News of what had happened on the academic forum quickly spread to Hua Nation. On Weibo. Ordinary Person: [Professor Lin Fan solved Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis!] Mo Gonggui: [What? Did Professor Lin Fan do something big again? But what¡¯s Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis?] Mitsukoshi Abundance: [No way? Who doesn¡¯t know about Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis? Let me explain it briefly. It¡¯s widely acknowledged in the mathematics community that whoever can solve Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis will be the greatest mathematician of this century!] Your Ancestor: [F*ck! Does that mean that Professor Lin Fan has become the world¡¯s number one mathematician?] Nine Heavens Essence: [The world¡¯s number one mathematician? Wasn¡¯t Professor Lin Fan already that? However, I still have to say, Professor Lin Fan is awesome!] Illusory Realm: [Still calling him Professor Lin Fan? Please address him as God Lin! God Lin, please bless me so that I won¡¯t fail my final exam.] Messy in the Wind: [I worship God Lin Fan! Bless me so that I can get into an undergraduate course.] Beauty: [I worship God Lin Fan! Bless me so that I can pass the teaching qualification exam.] I¡¯m a Good Person: [I worship God Lin! Please bless me and let me pass the assessment.] ¡­ There was a good discussion on Weibo. Then, everyone started saying similar things. ¡­ Lin Fan had no idea about all of this. To him¡­ Writing the solution to Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis was a piece of cake. After staying in his office for a day, Lin Fan came to the Coiling Dragon Villa. He immediately turned his attention to the platinum packet. ¡°One platinum packet. Let¡¯s see what I can get. ¡°Open it!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the skill¡ªNight Vision.] [Night Vision: Even in the darkness and fog, you can see everything as clearly as day. Better vision equals more charisma.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. His vision would not be blocked by the darkness and fog. Night Vision? This seemed to be a very good skill. Then, Lin Fan felt his eyes turn cold. He looked outside. It was nine o¡¯clock at night, and the sky was pitch-black. [Skill: Night Vision!] If it was in the past, Lin Fan would only be able to see some trees and cars. Now, it was as if it was daytime. Trees, cars, helicopters¡­ He could see everything clearly. Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up as he muttered, ¡°The things I can get from platinum packets are indeed not bad!¡± Then, Lin Fan looked outside for a while as if he was admiring the beautiful scenery. After drinking a cup of Spirit Tea, he felt refreshed and fell into a deep sleep on the soft bed. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. After Lin Fan had his breakfast, he drove the Cullinan toward Jiangbei University. In the past, when Lin Fan walked into the office, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, Hao Zhiwu, and the others would all be studying seriously. However¡­ Today, they were gathered together and discussing something. Moreover, they looked very excited. ¡°Meow! Master, you¡¯re here!¡± Lil White, who was lying on Hao Zhiwu¡¯s body, let out a crisp cry. Then, she jumped to Lin Fan¡¯s feet and rubbed against him. This action quickly caught Hao Zhiwu¡¯s attention. He rushed in front of Lin Fan and said excitedly, ¡°Professor Lin, did you really solve Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis?¡± Everyone¡¯s gaze landed on Lin Fan. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Yeah.¡± His tone was so relaxed that there was no excitement at all. It was as if he was answering a normal question about what he had eaten today. However, this sentence sounded completely different in the ears of everyone in the office. Liu Qianqian and Jiang Chaoqun were filled with surprise. Nie Zhenjiang¡¯s expression was complicated. He remembered that he and Lin Fan had participated in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition together. Lin Fan won the Higher Education Cup and he won the first prize. The difference was not too big. Now, he had become Lin Fan¡¯s student. Lin Fan even solved Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis this time. Nie Zhenjiang had always thought of himself as a genius. At this moment, his face turned red. He felt that compared to Lin Fan, everything he was proud of was a joke. Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s beautiful eyes were bright. Their gazes toward Lin Fan were filled with admiration. As expected of Professor Lin! he was awesome! ¡°Professor Lin, you¡¯re too awesome!¡± Hao Zhiwu shouted directly. Lin Fan almost choked. After all, he had a teacher-student relationship with Hao Zhiwu. At this moment, there was the sound of light footsteps outside the corridor. At the same time, a faint fragrance filled the air. Then, a woman with snow-white skin, beautiful facial features, and a graceful figure walked in slowly. She was wearing a long black dress, looking noble and elegant. She¡­ was Hu Tian. ¡°It seems very lively here.¡± Hu Tian smiled lightly. Her voice was like the plucking of a zither. This smile made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze. Everyone¡¯s hearts started beating faster. ¡°Yeah, they¡¯re asking me about Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis. Teacher Tiantian, why are you here today?¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°It¡¯s also because of Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis,¡± Hu Tian said. When she said this, Hu Tian looked at Lin Fan with a strange gaze. As a mathematician, she knew what Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis meant. Lin Fan had directly solved Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis. To Hu Tian, Lin Fan was a god! His entire body was emitting endless light! Lin Fan asked, ¡°Is there anything you don¡¯t understand? Do you need me to help explain?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Hu Tian said. ¡°However, there are too many things that I don¡¯t understand. I¡¯m afraid you have to explain them all to me.¡± ¡°No problem,¡± Lin Fan said with a smile. ¡°Let¡¯s meet up after school.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Hu Tian said happily. ¡°By the way, the World Mathematics Organization just sent an email asking if you can hold a one-hour report on Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis at Jiangbei University.¡± In the past, if a mathematician solved an unsolved math problem or made a major breakthrough, the World Mathematics Organization would send invitations to the other party to hold a report. Those who were invited would also feel honored. Lin Fan was an exception. Chapter 467 - 467 Attention; Hot Discussion! 467 Attention; Hot Discussion! That was because when Lin Fan solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and Hail¡¯s Conjecture¡­ The World Mathematics Organization had sent him an invitation. Every time, Lin Fan would directly reject them and say that if they wanted to attend the report, they would have to come to Jiangbei. After being rejected twice, it was obvious that the World Mathematics Organization had figured out Lin Fan¡¯s habits. Lin Fan rubbed his nose and said indifferently, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s hold it, then.¡± When Hu Tian heard this, a smile appeared on her pretty face. It was as if she could already see Lin Fan standing on the stage and explaining the complicated calculations. At that time, Lin Fan would shine with a dazzling light. After a while, Hu Tian said, ¡°That¡¯s it for now. I won¡¯t disturb your class anymore.¡± After saying that, she slowly walked out. Even though Hu Tian had already left, the office was still filled with a faint fragrance. Hao Zhiwu only retracted his gaze after Hu Tian¡¯s back disappeared completely. He could not help but ask, ¡°P-Professor Lin, that was¡­¡± ¡°Ms. Tiantian. She¡¯s a teacher at the Mathematics Department of Jiangbei University. She¡¯s also my former teacher,¡± Lin Fan replied. He then said, ¡°You guys can continue reading and solving the questions. You guys still have one question that you haven¡¯t answered.¡± After all, only students who studied hard and continued to grow could have a shot at winning international awards. If they won international awards, Lin Fan would be able to complete the mission and receive five golden packets. Lin Fan was really looking forward to the gold, platinum, and other high-level packets. Hao Zhiwu, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, and the others all responded and began to study seriously. Liu Qianqian looked at Xia Bing and Xia Xue. She opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something but hesitated. ¡­ Time flew by like flowing water. In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting. The sparrows in the distance let out a cheerful cry. They flapped their wings and flew from one treetop to another. Liu Qianqian, Xia Bing, and Xia Xue walked out of the office together and walked along the winding school road. At this time, Liu Qianqian could not help but say, ¡°Xia Bing, Xia Xue, you¡¯d better pay more attention.¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue showed a puzzled look. ¡°Just pay attention to that Teacher Tiantian!¡± Liu Qianqian said. ¡°She¡¯s so pretty, and my sixth sense tells me that she must have a good relationship with Professor Lin.¡± In the past, Liu Qianqian had always advised Xia Bing and Xia Xue not to get too close to Lin Fan. However, after persuading them many times, she saw that Xia Bing and Xia Xue still admired Lin Fan and were fascinated by him. Hence, she decided not to persuade them anymore and instead thought of ways to matchmake them. Xia Bing and Xia Xue said in unison, ¡°She is Professor Lin¡¯s girlfriend. We don¡¯t have to pay attention to her.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Liu Qianqian was stunned on the spot, completely at a loss for words. She was Professor Lin¡¯s girlfriend. Did these two women not like Professor Lin Fan to? How could they say that so easily? Moreover, they did not need to pay attention to her? ¡­ After school, Lin Fan went straight to Hu Tian¡¯s office. At this moment, Hu Tian was the only one in the entire office. She was sitting in front of the table, writing something. The tip of the pen collided with the table. In the quiet office, a brisk melody was formed. Hu Tian seemed to have sensed something. She raised her head and smiled. ¡°When did you arrive?¡± ¡°Just now,¡± said Lin Fan. ¡°I¡¯ll make you a cup of tea,¡± Hu Tian said. As she spoke, she slowly got up and took out a box of beautifully packaged tea leaves from the drawer. After a while, a refreshing fragrance wafted out. It was the spirit tea that Lin Fan had given her. Lin Fan took a sip and felt his mouth salivate. Then, he looked at the densely packed calculations on the draft paper. It was all about Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis. With just a glance, Lin Fan could see the problem and said, ¡°There are some problems with the 8th and 13th formulas. ¡°If you substitute the third algorithm into it, you should be able to discover it.¡± Hu Tian did as he said and picked up a pen and paper to substitute the formula into it. As Lin Fan had said, the problem immediately appeared. Lin Fan flipped through Hu Tian¡¯s other calculations and said, ¡°I¡¯ll elaborate on the first quarter of the solution to Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis. ¡°You should take your time understanding the first part.¡± In the past, whenever Hu Tian encountered a problem, Lin Fan would write down all the detailed steps. However, it was different this time. This time, it was Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis! It was known as the top mathematics problem! It involved very complicated calculations. Even a mathematics academician would not be able to understand a quarter of it immediately. Hu Tian also understood this and nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Fan picked up a pen and paper and started writing on the blank draft paper. His movements were light, and the tip of his pen was powerful. Soon, lines of elegant calculations appeared on the paper. Hu Tian stared unblinkingly at Lin Fan¡¯s focused actions as he wrote the calculations. She looked at the complicated and elegant calculations on the paper. This was not the first time Hu Tian had seen Lin Fan answer questions. However, at this moment, Hu Tian was still extremely fascinated. In fact, her body seemed to be attracted by him as she kept getting closer and closer to Lin Fan¡­ o(£þ¦Å£þ*) (*£þ3)(¦Å£þ*) ¡­ The mahogany desk soon creaked as if it had been in need of repair for a long time. It was late at night. ¡­ It took Lin Fan three hours to finish writing the solution to Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis. Lin Fan had dinner with Hu Tian before bringing her home. Tonight, there was no sleep. ¡­ For the next two days, Lin Fan came to school on time every day. He seemed to be making up for not coming to the office for a while previously. As soon as Lin Fan walked into his office, Hao Zhiwu would rush over excitedly and tell him about the heated discussion on the internet about his solution to Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis and how much he admired Lin Fan. Regarding this¡­ Lin Fan only glanced at the discussions casually and replied casually. He did not take it to heart. After all, he was not interested in these things at all. Firstly, when Lin Fan solved those math problems and invented the earthquake prediction device, the human islet recovery drug, the carbon-based photolithographic machine, the super battery, the artificial limbs, and so on, there were always heated discussions on the internet. This also happened whenever he gifted rockets on live broadcasts. He had gotten used to it. As for the worshipping¡­ Lin Fan did not mind at all. If Lin Fan wanted such admiration, he would have accepted interviews. Then, with his handsome appearance¡­ Not to mention being worshipped on the internet, he would definitely attract enthusiastic screams no matter where he went. Chapter 468 - 468 Transfer; 2.3 Million! 468 Transfer; 2.3 Million! Today was Saturday. The weather was clear. After Lin Fan had breakfast, he sat on the sofa and played with his phone for a while. Then, he drove the Rolls-Royce south to Yi Ke City. After all, he had not seen Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling for a while. When the doorbell rang, Qiu Ziqian quickly opened the door. Qiu Ziqian was wearing black tight-fitting sportswear, showing off her perfect figure and slender limbs. On her pretty face, beads of sweat were flowing down her snow-white neck into her cleavage. The air was filled with the pleasant smell of sweat. When Qiu Ziqian saw that it was Lin Fan, she said happily, ¡°You¡¯re here!¡± Then, she turned around and shouted, ¡°Huang Ling, look who¡¯s here!¡± Lin Fan looked inside. Huang Ling was on the yoga mat. She was lying on the floor like the instructor on TV, swaying her butt up and down. Huang Ling slowly turned her head when she heard the voice. When she saw that it was Lin Fan, she exclaimed excitedly, ¡°Lin Fan!¡± Then, she ran to the door excitedly. Originally, Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling were prepared to give Lin Fan a passionate hug. However, they felt that their bodies were a little sticky. ¡°Let¡¯s go take a shower first.¡± ¡°Wait for us for a while.¡± Then, Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling rushed into the bathroom. Soon, the sound of water could be heard coming from inside. Lin Fan looked at the spacious living room. There was a treadmill, spinning bike, dumbbells, and other exercise equipment. He nodded slightly. Then, he sat on the sofa and enjoyed watching the yoga scenes playing on TV. Not long after, the bathroom door opened. Hot mist gushed out from inside. Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling were wrapped in white bath towels and surrounded by mist. They looked like fairies who had descended to the mortal world as they slowly walked out of the bathroom. As they had not seen each other for a long time, they missed each other very much. Therefore, the two of them were in a hurry to take a shower. As a result, there were still water droplets rolling down their beautiful faces and necks. Then, as if they were attracted by something, they kept getting closer and closer to Lin Fan. ¡­ Outside the window, a small bird let out a cheerful cry. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was noon. Lin Fan, Huang Ling, and Qiu Ziqian lay down on the sofa, exhausted. In their current state, they naturally could not cook anymore. Hence, Lin Fan dialed the number of the Michelin two-star restaurant. Not long after, top-grade yellow croaker, high-quality flower gum, duck belly, eight-headed Middle Eastern abalone, Hoi An swallow, mantis shrimp, Australian lobster, and other delicacies were served on the table. Huang Ling picked up a piece of top-grade yellow croaker and put it into her mouth. She praised, ¡°Delicious! This fish tastes so good. How much is it?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°I don¡¯t know either. However, this table of food only costs about 70,000 yuan. The fish shouldn¡¯t be that expensive. Eat more.¡± As he spoke, he picked up a piece of fish and placed it in Huang Ling¡¯s bowl. ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Huang Ling nodded. The three of them were very satisfied with the meal, and their stomachs started to swell. They sat on the sofa and watched a cheerful TV show. They were very happy and satisfied. At this moment, Huang Ling¡¯s phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was her mother, Li Min. ¡°Lil Ling, do you have money on you?¡± Li Min¡¯s anxious voice came from the other end of the line. Huang Ling was very dedicated to her parents. Hearing that her mother wanted money, she did not hesitate and said directly, ¡°Yes, Mom. How much do you want?¡± ¡°2.3 million.¡± Wang Hui said. ¡°2.3 million?¡± Huang Ling exclaimed in surprise. ¡°Why do you need so much money?¡± One had to know¡­ In the past two years, Huang Ling had sent hundreds of thousands of yuan to her family. With Lin Fan¡¯s help, her family¡¯s shop could get low-priced products from Xiao Wu Wholesale City. They could even get Flower Stalk¡¯s perfume and beauty essence. This made the shop¡¯s business very prosperous. The monthly profit was at least 100,000 yuan. Now, her mother suddenly wanted 2.3 million! This was absolutely a terrible number for ordinary families. No wonder Huang Ling was so surprised. Wang Hui did not explain much. She said in an anxious voice, ¡°Do you have it or not?¡± Huang Ling hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Lin Fan, who was sitting at the side, heard the conversation clearly. ¡°Huang Ling, transfer the money to Aunt first.¡± Although he also sensed that something was wrong with Wang Hui, it was only two million yuan. It was nothing. It would be too late for regrets if some unnecessary trouble was caused. ¡°Alright, Mom,¡± Huang Ling nodded and said. ¡°I¡¯ll transfer you the money now.¡± ¡°Alright, alright! Hurry up,¡± Wang Hui said happily. After Huang Ling hung up, Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯ll transfer the money to you, and you can transfer it to Aunt.¡± Huang Ling said, ¡°No, it¡¯s alright. I still have 9.5 million left from the ten million you gave me last time.¡± As she spoke, she transferred 2.3 million yuan to Wang Hui. After she saw that the transfer was successful, she frowned slightly, and her beautiful face was full of worry. She said, ¡°I want to go back and take a look.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Aunt must have encountered something. I¡¯ll go back with you.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Huang Ling didn¡¯t expect Lin Fan to make such a request. Now, she and Qiu Ziqian knew that Lin Fan owned Xiao Wu Wholesale City and many other big companies. Furthermore, Lin Fan had even solved many math problems and invented many high-tech products. To Huang Ling, Lin Fan must be extremely busy every day. Therefore, when Lin Fan suddenly came to Yi Ke City today, Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian were very surprised. Huang Ling hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°This¡­ Will it take up your time?¡± Lin Fan scratched her nose and said, ¡°Silly, what¡¯s the delay? Ziqian, do you want to go with us?¡± Qiu Ziqian shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m a little too tired from the exercise just now. I think I¡¯ll rest here for a while.¡± When she said this, her pretty face blushed, as if she was thinking of the scene of their intense exercise just now. Of course, this was only part of the reason. Another reason was that they were going to meet Huang Ling¡¯s parents. If she followed them and accidentally exposed herself, the situation would be really bad. ¡°Be careful on the road,¡± Qiu Ziqian said. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Alright. Huang Ling, let¡¯s go.¡± As he spoke, he held Huang Ling¡¯s slender waist. ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Huang Ling nodded. Initially, she was worried about her family. However, when she felt Lin Fan¡¯s strong arms and warm chest, she immediately felt at ease. Chapter 469 - 469 Let Go; Greed! 469 Let Go; Greed! In Huang Ling¡¯s heart, Lin Fan was already an omnipotent existence. As long as he was around, all the difficulties and troubles would disappear. Under Qiu Ziqian¡¯s gaze, Lin Fan and Huang Ling got into the Cullinan and sped off into the distance. ¡­ At this moment, in the city. Glory Supermarket. A woman named Liu Guihua, who was wearing a white shirt, saw Wang Hui hang up the phone and said in a trembling voice, ¡°S-Sister Hui, how is it?¡± ¡°Lil Ling said that she¡¯ll transfer the money over later.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great! Sister Hui, our family will definitely find a way to pay you back in the future,¡± Liu Guihua said. ¡°Guihua, don¡¯t say that,¡± Wang Hui said repeatedly. ¡°At the end of the day, Zhimin got involved because of Yipeng. ¡°This matter is entirely due to our family. ¡°Besides, you¡¯ve already taken out a large sum of money. There¡¯s no need to talk about the rest.¡± Many thought that poor people would complain and quarrel with each other whenever something happened. However, in reality¡­ There were still many people who knew how to take responsibility in this world. Liu Guihua was about to say something when Wang Hui¡¯s phone vibrated. ¡°Lil Ling has transferred the money over,¡± she said happily.¡± ¡°Including our previous 2.7 million, a total of five million will be transferred to them. ¡°Yipeng and Zhimin can come back now!¡± When Wang Hui said this, both her and Liu Guihua¡¯s faces revealed a hint of joy. They checked the number and finally transferred all five million yuan to a bank account. Then, Wang Hui dialed an overseas number. ¡°I¡¯ve already transferred five million. Can you let them go now?¡± A hoarse voice sounded from the phone. ¡°Of course!¡± After saying that, the call ended. ¡­ At this moment, in the country of Dian. In a dimly lit room¡­ A tall and thin man hung up the phone and shouted excitedly, ¡°Hahaha! They¡¯ve transferred the five million!¡± In the room, a few men covered in tattoos shouted excitedly. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°Awesome!¡± The tall and thin man pointed at Huang Yipeng and Huang Zhimin who were tied to the ground and said, ¡°Let them go.¡± At this moment, a round-faced man with a bare upper body said, ¡°Brother Zhao, wait a moment.¡± Brother Zhao could not help but look at him in confusion. ¡°Their families took out five million so quickly. They must have more money!¡± the round-faced man said in a low voice. ¡°It¡¯s rare to encounter such a big fish. Why don¡¯t we¡­¡± When Brother Zhao heard this, a hint of greed flashed across his eyes. He said in a low voice, ¡°You mean¡­¡± The round-faced man knew that Brother Zhao had already agreed with his statement, so he smiled sinisterly and said, ¡°Earlier, they broke a piece of our top-grade jade. After we let them go, they were so angry that they broke another top-grade bracelet worth ten million yuan!¡± As he spoke, he took out a bracelet that had been broken in half. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Zhao grinned. ¡°Alright!¡± the round-faced man said. Then, he strode to Huang Yipeng and Huang Zhimin¡¯s side and slowly undid the ropes that tied them. ¡°Your family has already compensated you for the jade. You can leave now.¡± Huang Yipeng and Huang Zhimin did not dare to say anything. They prepared to run away as if they were running for their lives. However¡­ They had just taken a step when they accidentally stepped on something. The round-faced man was furious. ¡°Bastards! How dare you deliberately step on my jade bracelet?!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his leg and kicked Huang Yipeng and Huang Zhimin. Huang Yipeng and Huang Zhimin had been tied up for a while and were both physically and mentally exhausted. In addition, they were not prepared at all. With that kick, the two of them fell to the ground and could not get up. The man with the tiger tattoo on his body also started yelling. ¡°Bastards! Are you guys trying to cause trouble for us because you¡¯re not convinced?¡± The round-faced man and the man with the tiger tattoo kept kicking their legs, causing Huang Yipeng and Huang Zhimin to curl up on the ground in pain while screaming. After a while, Brother Zhao, who was standing in front, grunted. ¡°This jade bracelet is top-grade, and it¡¯s worth ten million. Compensate according to the price, or you can forget about leaving! ¡°Tie them up again!¡± As a result, Huang Yipeng and Huang Zhimin, who had just been untied, were tied up again after many bruises appeared on their bodies. Then, Brother Zhao took out his phone and made a call. After a while, the call went through. ¡°Have you released them?¡± Wang Hui hurriedly asked. ¡°Release them?¡± Brother Zhao grunted. ¡°Bullsh*t! The moment I let them go, they stomped on my ten million yuan top-grade jade bracelet! ¡°If you don¡¯t transfer another ten million, then you should get ready to collect their corpses!¡± After saying that, he hung up the phone. ¡­ Da City. Glory Supermarket. Wang Hui heard the busy tone on the phone and sat down in her chair dejectedly. Streams of hot tears flowed out of her eyes, and her heart was filled with endless sorrow. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Sister Hui?¡± Liu Guihua asked hurriedly. ¡°Did they let them go?¡± Wang Hui could not hold it in anymore and cried, ¡°He said that Yipeng and Zhimin stepped on another bracelet of theirs. If we don¡¯t send ten million over, then¡­ we¡¯ll have to collect their corpses.¡± ¡°What?¡± When Liu Guihua heard this, she felt her vision go black. She kept retreating and almost fell to the ground. ¡°Ten million¡­ ¡°Ten million¡­¡± She also burst into tears. Previously, they had taken out all their savings, but they only had 2.7 million yuan. Then, they asked Huang Ling for the money and managed to gather five million yuan. How could they come up with ten million yuan now? Even if they sold their houses, it would not be enough. At this moment, Wang Hui¡¯s phone rang. She picked up the phone shakily, still sobbing. Huang Ling heard her crying and asked anxiously, ¡°Mom, what¡¯s going on? Why are you crying?¡± Wang Hui said. ¡°I-I¡¯m fine.¡± Wang Hui¡¯s voice was very hoarse and she was still sobbing. She had just taken 2.3 million from her daughter. She did not want to ask for another ten million. She did not know if her daughter had that much money. Besides, she did not want to make things difficult for her daughter. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t scare me,¡± Huang Ling said. ¡°What exactly happened?¡± ¡°No¡­ I¡¯m fine,¡± Wang Hui said in a trembling voice. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m already on my way back. Please wait for me for a while. I¡¯ll be home soon,¡± Huang Ling said. Lin Fan also realized that something was wrong with Huang Ling¡¯s family. He stepped hard on the accelerator. The Cullinan immediately roared like a ferocious beast and sped into the distance. Chapter 470 - 470 Arrive; Rescue 470 Arrive; Rescue Da City was nearly 300 kilometers away from Jiangbei. Normally, it would take at least three hours to reach it. However¡­ Lin Fan relied on his Professional Driving Skills and the Cullinan¡¯s 600 horsepower to drive at top speed. In just two hours, they drove out of the highway and passed through many streets. Finally, they arrived at Da City¡¯s Glory Supermarket. Then, Lin Fan and Huang Ling walked in together. At this moment, Wang Hui and Liu Guihua were sitting inside dejectedly, tears streaming down their faces. When they saw Lin Fan and Huang Ling, they stood up with great difficulty. Wang Hui said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Lil¡­ Lil Ling, you¡¯re back so soon?¡± When she caught sight of Lin Fan, Wang Hui¡¯s face could not help but flash with excitement. Lin Fan was here! He was Huang Ling¡¯s boyfriend. If he was willing to help, then there would be no problem. One had to know¡­ When Wang Hui and Huang Yipeng went to Jiangbei, they saw Lin Fan¡¯s super sports car and ten villas. In addition, Lin Fan also owned 51% of the shares of Xiao Wu Wholesale City. The market value of Xiao Wu Wholesale City was tens of billions! In other words, Lin Fan¡¯s net worth was at least a few billion! The reason why Glory Supermarket¡¯s business had been so good in the past few months was because of the fact that they had been in the market for a long time. It was all because of Lin Fan. ¡°Mom, what happened?¡± Huang Ling asked. ¡°Where¡¯s Dad?¡± At the mention of Huang Yipeng, Wang Hui could not help but cry again. Her voice trembled as she roughly recounted what had happened. During this period of time, Glory Supermarket¡¯s business was indeed very good. Every month, there would be a profit of more than 100,000 yuan. Over the past few months, Huang Yipeng had accumulated a lot of money. However, who would complain about having too much money? Huang Yipeng had long heard that jade was very profitable. Now, he had some capital. Therefore, he went to Dian Nation with Huang Zhimin a while ago to buy some jade. However¡­ Not long after, Wang Hui and Liu Guihua received a call saying that Huang Yipeng and Huang Zhimin had broken the best jade in the Dian Nation and were detained. They had to pay five million yuan before the two men could be released. If they were in Hua Nation, Wang Hui and Liu Guihua would definitely have called the police without hesitation. However, Huang Yipeng and Huang Zhimin were overseas! Wang Hui and Liu Guihua spent some time gathering the money, but they only had a total of 2.7 million yuan. Wang Hui had no choice but to call Huang Ling and ask for 2.3 million. Then, Wang Hui transferred a total of five million yuan to the store owners. They thought it was over. Who would have thought that the other party would say that when Huang Yipeng and Huang Zhimin left, they deliberately stepped on an exquisite bracelet and broke it? If they did not transfer ten million over, the women would have to collect the men¡¯s corpses. ¡­ Wang Hui and Liu Guihua cried as they spoke. Huang Ling¡¯s pretty face turned pale after hearing this. Some terrifying scenes kept playing in her mind. She could already imagine what kind of torture her father was going through. Lin Fan patted Huang Ling¡¯s shoulder lightly and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll be fine.¡± Huang Ling¡¯s delicate body trembled slightly before she nodded vigorously. That was right. She still had Lin Fan. ¡°Aunt, can I see the other party¡¯s phone number?¡± Lin Fan asked Wang Hui. Wang Hui handed over her phone. Then, Lin Fan looked at the super smart watch on his wrist and said, ¡°Lil White, can you trace the location of this number, the owner, and all related information?¡± The super smart watch made a clear sound and said, ¡°Leave it to me, Master.¡± It only took a few seconds. All the information then appeared on the screen. Lin Fan nodded slightly. He took out his phone and dialed a number. After a while, the call went through. A muffled voice sounded from the other end. ¡°Hello, who are you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me, Lin Fan,¡± Lin Fan said. The voice on the phone suddenly became extremely respectful. ¡°Hello, Sect Master.¡± This person was one of the people who Ye Xiu had brought with him to Jiangbei to meet Lin Fan. That day at the Imperial Hotel, everyone gave Lin Fan a toast and gave him their name cards. At that time, Lin Fan had only casually glanced at the name cards. However, with his scanning ability, he remembered all the information on the name cards clearly. Lin Fan remembered that this person¡¯s name was Luo Zhonghao. He was the chairman of Dian Nation¡¯s MAT Group. MAT Group owned the largest real estate company, security company, hotel, and airline company in Dian Nation. Lin Fan did not waste any time and said directly, ¡°My girlfriend¡¯s father and his friend have been kidnapped in Dian Nation. I¡¯ll send you the details later.¡± The sect master¡¯s girlfriend¡¯s father was kidnapped in Dian Country! Who did it?! They were actually so bold! What bastards! Luo Zhonghao¡¯s heart was beating wildly as he hurriedly said, ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± After hanging up the phone, Luo Zhonghao realized that his forehead was covered in a cold sweat. At this moment, Luo Zhonghao¡¯s cell phone showed the kidnapper¡¯s phone number, identity, relevant personnel, address, and other information. After Luo Zhonghao saw these messages, he quickly dialed a number. Immediately after¡­ Several helicopters and hundreds of cars flew toward a dilapidated factory at the border of Dian Nation. ¡­. At this moment, in the dilapidated factory. Huang Yipeng and Huang Zhimin were trembling on the ground. Meanwhile, Brother Zhao, the round-faced man, and the tattooed men were drinking and playing cards while roaring. A man with a buzz cut threw the cards to the ground and said, ¡°I¡¯m going out to piss.¡± After saying that, he staggered out. He had just pulled up his pants when he heard a roar in the air. The buzz-cut man could not help but look up at the sky. Soon, he saw three helicopters slowly land. The helicopter¡¯s propellers created a strong wind, stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust. The man with the buzz cut could not help but cover his eyes with his hands. Just as he was wondering why helicopters would appear here¡­ In the distance, hundreds of cars were speeding over like wild beasts. Then, a dense crowd of people got out of the cars. When the buzz-cut man saw this, he was stunned. Very soon¡­ His gaze fell on the bald man in the crowd. His pupils suddenly constricted as he stuttered, ¡°B-Boss Ma, why are you here?¡± Ma Hongtao was the boss of the entire northern part of Dian Nation. Brother Zhao, who was in the dilapidated factory, was just a small leader at the border. The buzz-cut man had only seen Ma Hongtao once during a large gathering. He had never thought that the other party would come to the dilapidated factory one day. That was the emperor of Dian Nation! Ma Hongtao did not say anything at all. He coldly glanced at the buzz-cut man. This glance scared the buzz-cut man so much that his entire body trembled. Chapter 471 - 471 Punishment; Call Back! 471 Punishment; Call Back! Ma Hongtao did not say anything. He did not even stop and continued walking forward. The two men behind him pushed the man to the ground. Then, they grabbed his neck and continued to follow Ma Hongtao. Brother Zhao, the round-faced man, the tattooed man, and the others who were playing cards inside seemed to have noticed that something was wrong. They came to the entrance of the dilapidated factory. When they saw the dense crowd, their mouths were wide open, and they were completely stunned. Without waiting for them to speak, a large group of people went forward and knocked them all to the ground. Luo Zhonghao, who was wearing a suit, ignored them and walked in quickly. When he saw Huang Yipeng and Huang Zhimin tied to the ground and covered in bruises, his expression changed slightly. At the same time, he hurriedly went forward to untie their ropes. When Huang Yipeng and Huang Zhimin were released from their ropes for the first time, they only wanted to leave as soon as possible. In the end, in the blink of an eye, it was said that they had stepped on a top-grade bracelet. Then, they were beaten up again. Now, after the ropes were undone, they did not dare to get up and escape. They continued to lie on the ground and tremble. ¡°Are you Mr. Huang Yipeng and Mr. Huang Zhimin?¡± Luo Zhonghao asked softly. ¡°I¡¯m here on Mr. Lin Fan¡¯s orders. I¡¯m here to save you. Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯re safe.¡± Lin Fan? After Huang Yipeng heard this name, his heart relaxed a little. He stammered, ¡°You¡­ Are you really Lin Fan¡¯s people who came to save us?¡± ¡°Yes, look. I received a call from him.¡± As Luo Zhonghao spoke, he took out his phone and pulled up the call records. Seeing this¡­ Huang Yipeng heaved a sigh of relief. Then, Luo Zhonghao personally helped Huang Yipeng and Huang Zhimin up and slowly walked forward. When they arrived in front of Brother Zhao, the round-faced man, the tattooed man, and the others who had been knocked over, they could not help but stop. When Luo Zhonghao was facing Huang Yipeng and Huang Zhimin, he looked very refined. However, when he saw this group of people, Luo Zhonghao¡¯s face turned cold. Dian Nation was his territory! In the end, Lin Fan¡¯s girlfriend¡¯s father was kidnapped here. Moreover, he was beaten up. This was definitely¡­ It was unforgivable! Ma Hongtao also saw the change in Luo Zhonghao¡¯s expression, and his heart skipped a beat. Many people called him the boss of the north. However, only he understood that in the eyes of the rich and powerful people in Dian Nation, he was just a dog with sharp claws. Today, if this matter was not handled well, he would definitely not have a good ending. Ma Hongtao shouted at Brother Zhao, the round-faced man, and the others who were lying on the ground, ¡°Speak! Who hit the two Mr. Huangs?¡± Brother Zhao, the round-faced man, and the others trembled, but they did not dare to speak. ¡°Very well. You¡¯re not going to talk, huh?¡± Ma Hongtao said coldly. ¡°Then don¡¯t speak! Cut off all their arms!¡± When Brother Zhao, the round-faced man, and the others heard this, their expressions changed drastically. Someone wanted to say something. However¡­ It was too late! A bearded man picked up his broadsword and slashed at the tattooed man closest to him. His arm was sliced off, and blood spurted out. ¡°Ah!¡± Painful screams resounded throughout the entire dilapidated factory. The bearded man¡¯s expression did not change. He raised his saber and slashed down fiercely. The second arm was sliced off again, and blood continued to spurt out. This scene shocked Brother Zhao and the others. Their faces were pale as they struggled crazily and shouted in fear, ¡°It¡¯s Li Xuan and Wang Feng!¡± ¡°Li Xuan and Wang Feng beat them up!¡± However, the bearded man did not seem to hear them. He continued to raise his hand and slash. He then retracted his saber¡­ One could only hear the continuous screams of pigs being slaughtered from the dilapidated factory. Huang Yipeng and Huang Zhimin had never seen such a terrifying scene before. Their faces turned pale. They even had the urge to retch. After the arms of Brother Zhao and the others were all cut off, Luo Zhonghao slowly turned around and said, ¡°Mr. Huang and Mr. Huang, I¡¯ll take you to the hotel to have a good rest.¡± At this moment, Huang Yipeng and Huang Zhimin only wanted to leave as quickly as possible. They kept nodding. Ma Hongtao hurriedly said, ¡°Mr. Huang and Mr. Huang, it¡¯s my fault for not managing my subordinates well. This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope that you¡¯ll forgive me.¡± As he spoke, he handed over two gold-rimmed bank cards. ¡­ Da City, Hua Nation, Glory Supermarket. Lin Fan was talking to his watch. Then, the watch would respond. Normally, this would definitely attract the curiosity of many people. However, at this moment, everyone had no such thoughts. Wang Hui could not help but say, ¡°Lin¡­ Lin Fan, is Lil Ling¡¯s father really alright?¡± Even though she knew that Lin Fan was very rich, the men were in Dian Nation, after all. Moreover, it was kidnapping and extortion. This was not something that could be solved with money. Lin Fan said, ¡°Aunt, don¡¯t worry. That friend of mine has some abilities in Dian Nation. They¡¯ll be fine.¡± Wang Hui nodded. However, there was still a hint of worry on her face. At this moment, Wang Hui¡¯s phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Huang Yipeng. Hence, she hurriedly pressed the answer button. ¡°Yipeng, Yipeng, is that you?¡± A dull and familiar voice sounded on the phone. ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± When Wang Hui heard this voice, tears instantly rolled down her face. She hurriedly said, ¡°Yipeng, how are you now? Did those people let you and Zhimin go?¡± ¡°They¡¯ve already released Zhimin and me.¡± Huang Yipeng could not help but think of the scene of Brother Zhao and the others having their arms cut off. His face turned slightly pale. Pausing, Huang Yipeng continued, ¡°Lin Fan¡¯s friend saved us.¡± Speaking of this, he remembered the scene of hundreds of cars and three helicopters outside when he walked out of the dilapidated factory. ¡°So, you and Guihua don¡¯t have to worry about us,¡± Huang Yipeng continued after a while. ¡°Alright, alright!¡± Wang Hui asked excitedly. ¡°When are you guys coming back?¡± ¡°It should be within these two days¡­¡± Huang Yipeng said. ¡­ After Wang Hui hung up the phone, she said happily, ¡°It¡¯s alright now! Yipeng and Zhimin are fine!¡± Liu Guihua cried tears of joy. Huang Ling leaned into Lin Fan¡¯s embrace and said softly, ¡°Lin Fan, thank you.¡± Although she did not hear the voice on the phone clearly just now, Huang Ling understood that this was all thanks to Lin Fan. ¡°Lin Fan, thank you.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± Liu Guihua said. Lin Fan said, ¡°This is what I should do.¡± Chapter 472 - 472 Answer; Birth! (1) 472 Answer; Birth! (1) Huang Ling planned to wait for her father to return before heading to Jiangbei. After all¡­ This time, her father almost died in Dian Nation. As his daughter, she should wait for him to come back and accompany him. Initially, Lin Fan wanted to wait for Huang Yipeng with Huang Ling. However, Huang Ling rejected him. It was not that she did not want to spend more time with Lin Fan. Or rather, she could not wait to be with Lin Fan. However¡­ Lin Fan was a mathematician and a great scientist. Moreover, he owned many companies. He must be very busy. She did not want to delay Lin Fan¡¯s matters because of her. Lin Fan thought about it and decided not to stay in Da City. After all, Huang Ling had a lot to say to her parents. It seemed inconvenient for him to stay here. In addition, he received a message from Hu Tian saying that the report on Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis would be held at 9 AM tomorrow. Therefore, after resting for a night in Da City, Lin Fan drove the Cullinan toward Jiangbei. Compared to yesterday¡¯s rapid driving, Lin Fan was much more relaxed now. When he returned to Jiangbei, it was already afternoon. Lin Fan lay on the soft sofa and casually scrolled through his phone. He was very satisfied. A day passed in the blink of an eye. ¡­ The next day. The ground was a little wet. The tree branches also became greener. Apparently, it had rained last night. The bugs crawled out of the holes and drank a few mouthfuls of the sweet rainwater. A few birds shot over like sharp arrows and pecked them into their mouths. ¡°This is my third!¡± ¡°This is my fourth!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go on!¡± ¡°I want to eat my fill today!¡± ¡°The morning after the rain is wonderful!¡± The birds jumped from one branch to another, chirping happily. When Lin Fan heard these voices, he opened his eyes slowly. He picked up his phone out of habit. As usual, a text message appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 37,890,300 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, Lin Fan casually said, ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten million yuan.] Lin Fan pursed his lips and said, ¡°10 million yuan again. When am I going to get something else?¡± Then, he played with his phone on the bed for a while before getting up slowly. After Lin Fan had his breakfast, he headed straight for Jiangbei University. ¡­ Jiangbei University was obviously livelier than usual today. The school gate was filled with brilliant flowers. Banners were hung all around. [Congratulations to Professor Lin Fan for hosting the Riemann Hypothesis report.] [Welcome to Jiangbei University!] Men and women with gray hair, thick glasses, and briefcases walked in with big strides. Soon, they were all gathered in Hall 1. Among them, there were obviously many people who were familiar with each other. They kept greeting each other and constantly let out a series of discussions. ¡°Professor Hall, do you think Lin Fan¡¯s answer is correct?¡± a man with a white beard asked. ¡°I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll have to listen to his report first,¡± Professor Hall said. Not far away, Taro Yamamoto, who had a mustache, said loudly, ¡°What do you mean by that? ¡°I admit that Professor Lin Fan has done a lot of research in the field of functions. ¡°He even solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, and other difficult problems. ¡°However, his solution to Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis is obviously wrong! ¡°Professor Tanaka Noon from Japan has already solved Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis!¡± Everyone only glanced at him indifferently and did not say anything. In fact¡­ Not only him, but most of the mathematicians in Japan had the same opinion. However, many mathematicians had proven that Tanaka¡¯s solution was problematic. Even so¡­ The Japanese mathematicians still stubbornly believed that Tanaka Noon¡¯s answer was correct, and that there was a problem with the other mathematicians¡¯ proof. In the beginning, there were still people who argued with the Japanese mathematicians. However, gradually, the number of people arguing decreased. In the end, they completely stopped fighting. They all understood one thing. They could never convince someone who refused to stay blind. ¡°Professor Barnington, you really came!¡± Professor Lancelot said with a smile. Barnington pushed up his thick glasses and said, ¡°How could I not come to witness the greatest mathematician of this century?¡± ¡°Oh? Professor Barnington, have you finished testing Professor Lin Fan¡¯s solution to Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have that kind of ability,¡± Barnington said with a smile. After pausing, he continued, ¡°But he is Lin Fan!¡± Lancelot was slightly stunned. Then, his body turned solemn. That was right! He was Lin Fan, the person who had solved the Twin Prime Number Conjecture at the report for Zhou¡¯s Conjecture. Not long after, he became a super genius who solved Hail¡¯s Conjecture and Hodge¡¯s Conjecture! Whenever Lin Fan solved a difficult problem, the process was always smooth. Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis was no exception! ¡°Professor Arthur Kelvin, you¡¯re an authority on Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis. Is Professor Lin Fan¡¯s answer correct?¡± Arthur Kelvin pondered for a moment and said, ¡°It¡¯s better to talk about it after this report.¡± Chapter 473 - 473 Answer; Birth! (2) 473 Answer; Birth! (2) At this moment, a series of dull footsteps sounded from outside the corridor. A white-haired old man with a metal cane in his hand and a black tuxedo walked in side by side with an old man with messy hair and wrinkled clothes. As soon as they arrived, a wave of exclamations immediately rang out in auditorium. ¡°Professor Michele and Professor Deligne!¡± ¡°Heavens!¡± ¡°These two big shots are actually here!¡± ¡°Ever since the great mathematician, Grothendieck, fell seriously ill eight years ago, as his students, they haven¡¯t traveled far. I didn¡¯t expect them to come to Hua Nation today!¡± ¡°Grothendieck¡¯s biggest dream is to solve Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis. Could it be that Professor Michele and Professor Deligne think that Lin Fan¡¯s solution is correct?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that¡¯s true!¡± At this point, the anticipation on everyone¡¯s faces became even stronger. The reason they came to Jiangbei University was to witness history. Professor Michele and Professor Deligne were here. This added to the possibility. Everyone greeted them. ¡°Hello, Professor Michelle.¡± ¡°Hello, Professor Deligne.¡± ¡°Long time no see!¡± The two old men nodded and responded. The chancellor of Jiangbei University, Shen Liang, and the dean, Hu Chuan, could not help but smile when they saw so many world-class mathematicians gathered here. They understood that if everything went smoothly, Jiangbei University and its Mathematics Department would be famous all over the world! Amidst everyone¡¯s discussion and anticipation. Outside the corridor, there was the sound of brisk footsteps. Then, a tall and handsome man strode in. It was Lin Fan! The moment he appeared, the people who were chatting or greeting each other all raised their heads and looked at Lin Fan. At this moment, everyone¡¯s anticipation reached its peak. A faint light flashed in their turbid eyes. Facing these gazes, Lin Fan did not react at all. He touched his itchy nose and walked straight onto the stage under everyone¡¯s gaze. Everyone knew¡­ Perhaps, a historic moment was about to arrive! For this reason, some people secretly took out their phones to record, and some even wanted to turn on the live broadcast¡­ However, they soon realized that when Lin Fan arrived at the auditorium, their cell phones and live broadcasting devices all lost signal. Even so, they just started recording normally. However, it would not be long before these people would discover that all that they recorded would disappear¡­ That was because Lin Fan had a super smart watch. As long as it was something he did not want to circulate on the internet, there would not be any related images. Lin Fan walked onto the stage and scanned the crowd. Then, he picked up the microphone and said in Chinese, ¡°The Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis report begins now.¡± He did not care whether or not everyone understood him. He picked up the electronic pen and quickly wrote on the touch screen. sin2¦Ð¡ªlon3+con5¦Ð£¨r+n£©.. lon5+tan3¡ª8mn.. 5s+m£¨sin7¦Ð+2b£©.. ¡­ Compared to the steps to solve the Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis published in the academic forum and the Annual Mathematics paper¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s equations were clearly more detailed and easy to understand. Even so¡­ Many people present could only follow Lin Fan¡¯s train of thought for the first ten minutes. Ten minutes later, many people started to frown. Gradually, sweat began to appear on their foreheads. Some people even felt a splitting headache. They had no choice but to give up watching. There were also some people who were known as big bulls among them, and even they were having such a hard time. It was even more so for Hu Tian, who was just an ordinary mathematics professor. In fact¡­ If Lin Fan had not written a quarter of Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis¡¯s detailed solution steps for her a few days ago, she would not have been able to catch up. Even earlier, Hu Tian had already started to have a headache. At this moment, Hu Tian could not understand Lin Fan¡¯s calculations at all. However, she still raised her head and stared at the screen without blinking. She stared at the tall and handsome figure who was quickly writing on the stage. In Hu Tian¡¯s eyes¡­ Lin Fan was not writing the solution to Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis. Instead, he had transformed into a towering being that shone with endless light. With a wave of his hand, a tall mountain appeared within the chaotic space. With another wave, a long river immediately formed on the dry soil. He raised his hand and squeezed. In the lifeless wilderness, green grass, trees, and lively animals immediately grew out. There were even humans! Creation! That was right! In Hu Tian¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan was like the God of Creation! As Lin Fan kept waving his arms, Hu Tian¡¯s beautiful eyes became even more dazzling. Her heart was beating violently with the rhythm of his writing. Her breathing became heavy, and her beautiful face was flushed with excitement and admiration. At this moment, Lin Fan finally wrote the last number and turned around slowly. The entire auditorium instantly fell silent. Shen Liang, the chancellor of Jiangbei University, gulped and said to Hu Chuan, ¡°Is he done? The answer is correct. Is there a problem? Hu Chuan said helplessly, ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m not sure.¡± In fact¡­ He was not the only one who did not know. Most of the people present did not know what the outcome was. Otherwise, the scene would not have been so quiet. Many people began to look around, seeking the judgment of the top experts. At this moment¡­ Professor Michele and Professor Deligne suddenly stood up and clapped. This sound seemed to have thrown a stone into the quiet auditorium, causing ripples. Then¡­ Arthur Kelvin also clapped. Following that, Barnington, Dawens, Lancelot, and the rest of the big names in the mathematics world clapped their hands. Soon, everyone present was clapping. The entire auditorium was filled with applause that rippled like a tsunami. The applause lasted for a long time, and everyone¡¯s faces were filled with excitement. They understood that they had successfully witnessed history! They had witnessed the birth of the greatest mathematician of the century! Taro Yamamoto seemed to understand what everyone was thinking and shouted, ¡°No, it can¡¯t be! This is not right!¡± Arthur Kelvin shook his head and said, ¡°Professor Yamamoto, you should accept the result.¡± It had to be said that Arthur was a good person. When he made a big breakthrough in Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis, he knew that he had a chance of winning the Fields Medal. Therefore, he spared no effort to fight for it. After all, it was his dream. However, when he found out that someone had really solved Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis, he would still choose to treat it objectively. It was regretful that he was not able to win the Fields Medal. However, if someone had solved Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis, he needed to confirm it. ¡°No!¡± Taro Yamamoto shouted. ¡°You¡¯re wrong! Look carefully, there are problems with his 68th and 89th algorithms! ¡°Lin Fan¡¯s answer is wrong! ¡°Our Japanese Professor Tanaka Noon¡¯s answer process is perfect!¡± Arthur Kelvin shook his head and did not say anything else. He knew that it would not be of any use if he said anything more. ¡°Professor Tanaka Noon¡¯s answer is the correct one!¡± ¡°Mr. Yamamoto, my answer is wrong. Professor Lin Fan¡¯s answer is complete.¡± A dull and familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him. When Taro Yamamoto heard this, he slowly turned around like a mechanical puppet. When he saw an old man wearing a white shirt with wrinkles all over his face, he said hysterically, ¡°No!¡± This old man¡­ was Tanaka Noon! Chapter 474 - 474 Work Language; Came Back Safely! 474 Work Language; Came Back Safely! Five minutes after the report ended¡­ On Weibo. Nation Daily: [Congratulations to Professor Lin Fan for solving Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis!] Soon, people started commenting. Little Wen Zi: [My mentor said¡­ Professor Lin is holding a report on Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis at Jiangbei University. Is it over?] Lulu: [In the past, I told others that Professor Lin Fan was the best mathematician in the world, and some people argued with me. Now, I want to see who can still argue!] Invincible King: [Congratulations, Professor Lin, for solving another unsolved math problem!] Zhang Haobai: [Although I don¡¯t know what Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis is, I can say that Professor Lin is awesome!] Five Elements Missing You: [Professor Lin is awesome!] Murong Xiaoxiao: [Professor Lin is awesome!] ¡­ More and more people commented, and it did not take long for the news to reach the top of the trending searches. ¡­ Lin Fan did not care about the applause and the comments on the internet. After he wrote the detailed solution to Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis, he was about to leave the auditorium. However, Professor Michele and Professor Deligne stopped him and said in fluent English, ¡°Professor Lin, congratulations on solving Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis.¡± ¡°May I ask, how exactly did you write down all the steps of the solution without thinking?¡± Many people also cast their questioning gazes. Lin Fan was very quick in writing down the steps. Perhaps it involved some technical calculations. Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s such a simple calculation. Do I still need to think about it?¡± Professor Michele and Professor Deligne were stunned. It was not that they were surprised. It was because they could not understand. Lin Fan replied in Chinese. Lin Fan did not care about the stunned crowd and continued to walk out. After a while, Professor Michele said, ¡°Professor Lin¡­ What did he say?¡± Professor Barnington slowly walked over and said, ¡°He spoke in Chinese. Perhaps we should consider using Chinese as our working language in the future.¡± Everyone fell into deep thought. If someone had said before that a certain person had changed the working language of the mathematics world, everyone would definitely treat this sentence as the funniest joke in the world. Now, no one could laugh. Professor Michele said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Chinese is the most interesting and complicated language in the world. Deligne, let¡¯s compete and see who can learn it first. We¡¯ll bet 100 dollars. How about it?¡± Deligne laughed. ¡°This is a very interesting bet, but how will we learn?¡± ¡°Maybe we can do what Hua Nation does and take an eloquence test.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not a bad idea,¡± Michelle said. Deligne and Michele were two of the top mathematicians in the world. Although they did not say that Chinese would become the working language of the mathematics world, they were already acting like it. ¡­ At this moment, Lin Fan was walking on the winding school road. Suddenly, an alluring fragrance drifted over from behind him. Lin Fan turned around. It was Hu Tian. ¡°Teacher Tian Tian!¡± Lin Fan smiled. Although it was just a simple shout, it made Hu Tian¡¯s heartbeat speed up and her face flush red. At this moment, she was simply like a pampered wife who had just met her husband. After a while, Hu Tian said, ¡°Lin Fan, congratulations on successfully holding the report on Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis.¡± Lin Fan did not mind. ¡°It¡¯s just a report¡­¡± ¡°What are you going to do now?¡± Hu Tian asked again. ¡°I¡¯m going to go eat something first, then have a good sleep.¡± Lin Fan rubbed his stomach. After all, writing a detailed solution to Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis on stage was also very exhausting. In addition, it was indeed lunchtime. ¡°Come to my house, then,¡± Hu Tian said. Lin Fan said happily, ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± Hence, the two of them went to Hu Tian¡¯s house hand-in-hand. However, Lin Fan did not let Hu Tian cook. After all¡­ That would take too much time and trouble. Instead, he asked a two-star Michelin restaurant to deliver lunch. It had to be said that the Michelin restaurant was very efficient. Lin Fan and Hu Tian had just arrived home when lunch was delivered. They sat together and ate top-grade abalone, sea urchin, fresh chives, top-grade foie gras, M9 beef, Boston lobster, and other delicacies. They also drank a bottle of X0. After eating and drinking their fill, their faces were filled with satisfaction. Hu Tian slowly raised her head, her eyes focused on Lin Fan. At this moment¡­ In her mind, she recalled Lin Fan standing on the stage of the auditorium, his back facing her as he quickly wrote lines of complicated calculations. Hu Tian¡¯s heartbeat began to accelerate¡­ Her entire body seemed to be attracted to him as she kept getting closer to Lin Fan. In the end, it was as though she wanted to fuse into Lin Fan¡¯s body. ¡­ Da City, Glory Supermarket. A Maybach drove over from afar. Huang Yipeng and Huang Zhimin slowly walked out. When Wang Hui, Liu Guihua, and Huang Ling saw them, they hurriedly ran out. ¡°Yipeng!¡± ¡°Zhimin!¡± ¡°Dad!¡± The three of them shouted excitedly. Wang Hui kept checking Huang Yipeng¡¯s body. When she saw the bruises on his body, she felt a lump in her throat, and tears started to roll down her face. ¡°Yipeng, are you alright?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m completely fine now.¡± ¡°Yes, we¡¯re fine now.¡± Huang Zhimin also said. ¡°What exactly happened to you guys this time?¡± Wang Hui asked again. Huang Yipeng sighed and said, ¡°All in all, we encountered blackmailers.¡± Then, he seemed to have thought of something and could not help but look at Huang Ling. ¡°Lil Ling, Lin¡­ who exactly is Lin Fan?¡± ¡°He runs some companies and is very knowledgeable,¡± Huang Ling said seriously. ¡°He¡¯s an amazing person.¡± ¡°Huang Yipeng said. ¡°I also know these¡­ but do you know that we were saved by Lin Fan?¡± ¡°We do,¡± said Wang Hui. ¡°We were rescued by three helicopters, hundreds of cars, and hundreds of thousands of people,¡± Huang Yipeng said. When Huang Ling, Wang Hui, and the others heard this, they were slightly stunned. They had seen with their own eyes that Lin Fan had only made a phone call. A phone call had caused such a huge commotion in Dian Nation? Huang Yipeng continued, ¡°Moreover, they even cut off the arms of the blackmailers in front of us.¡± Huang Ling¡¯s and Wang Hui¡¯s faces turned slightly pale. Wang Hui said in a trembling voice, ¡°Cut¡­ Cut off their arms?¡± She seemed to have seen the bloody sight. ¡°Yeah.¡± Huang Yipeng nodded. ¡°In the end, they even compensated Zhimin and me with ten million yuan each!¡± Chapter 475 - 475 Delivery Rider; Leave! 475 Delivery Rider; Leave! In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. After Hu Tian finished her breakfast, she headed to Jiangbei University. Lin Fan was lying on the sofa, leisurely scrolling through his phone. Yesterday, he had already sent a message to Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Hao Zhiwu, Liu Qianqian, and the others. He told them to study on their own for the next few days. If they encountered any questions that they did not understand, they could ask the other professors. They could also wait for him to come back and ask him. That was because Lin Fan understood¡­ he had just proved a world-class problem. Many people would probably ask him questions or interview him. These things were all very troublesome. Lin Fan hated trouble. In fact, it was just as Lin Fan had expected. Yesterday, after Lin Fan left the auditorium, there were already many big shots who went to the school and his office, wanting to interact and discuss with him. There were also some reporters who were strolling around the campus, wanting to have a chance encounter with Lin Fan. Unfortunately¡­ All of this was destined to be a waste of effort. ¡­ After Lin Fan played with his phone for a while, he suddenly remembered that he had not signed in today. ¡°Sign in!¡± he whispered. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 51% of the shares of the Whitehorse Manor in Maldives.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. Although Lin Fan did not pay attention to travel news, he had also heard of the famous Maldives. If the islands of the Maldives were said to be holy lands of coastal tourism, then the Whitehorse Manor was a wonderland in these holy lands. It was the top island in the Maldives! The Whitehorse Manor had a luxurious restaurant, bar, villas, and so on. It was said that in order to build the Whitehorse Manor, a total of tens of billions of yuan were spent. Of course, money meant nothing to Lin Fan. However¡­ He felt a little happy that he had suddenly obtained something else than ten million yuan. Lin Fan raised his head, clearly in a good mood. At this moment, he happened to see the intimate photo of Hu Tian and Chu Yunyue on the coffee table. ¡°It seems like I haven¡¯t seen Yunyue for a while. I¡¯ll go and see her.¡± As he spoke, Lin Fan stood up slowly and walked out. Soon, he arrived at Feiyang Building. A large group of people was standing at the elevator door. When the elevator door opened, Lin Fan and the others walked in. When the elevator door was about to close, a man in a suit rushed in. It was also when he walked in that the alarm in the elevator sounded. It was too heavy! Everyone could not help but look at the man in the suit. The man in the suit frowned and looked at the delivery rider beside him. ¡°You¡¯re an outsider. This is an office elevator!¡± The delivery rider standing at the side could not help but feel a little anxious. He said, ¡°I¡¯m about to exceed the time limit¡­¡± He had an 80-year-old mother who was seriously ill and a newborn son. Once he exceeded the time limit for delivering his order, five yuan in fees would be deducted. Perhaps for many people, five yuan was nothing. However, to him, it was food for an entire day. ¡°What does it have to do with me?¡± the man in the suit shouted. ¡°Hurry up and get out! If you don¡¯t get out now, I¡¯ll call security!¡± The rider had no choice but to slowly retreat. At this moment, a petite woman standing beside him said, ¡°I¡¯ll go out. I¡¯m not in a hurry anyway.¡± After she finished speaking, she left the elevator. The delivery rider quickly bent down and said, ¡°Thank you, thank you.¡± However, the woman was too light. Even after she walked out, the elevator kept ringing. The man in the suit shouted at the delivery rider again, ¡°Hurry up and get out.¡± The delivery man had no choice but to walk out again. At this moment, Lin Fan said, ¡°Hurry up and deliver the food.¡± After saying that, he walked out of the elevator. ¡°Thank you, thank you.¡± The delivery man bowed again. After Lin Fan and the petite woman stepped off, the elevator door finally stopped ringing and slowly closed. About two minutes later, the elevator door opened again. This time, the elevator seemed much emptier. With a soft ring, Lin Fan and the petite woman walked down the elevator. Lin Fan could not help but look at the woman. This was because the entire building belonged to Flower Stem. Was this kind-hearted woman an employee of Flower Stem? The petite woman seemed to have realized something and asked, ¡°Are you an employee of Flower Stem? Or are you here for the interview today like me?¡± Lin Fan revealed a look of realization. Just as he was about to reply¡­ At this moment, the beautiful receptionist at Flower Stem stood up and greeted Lin Fan respectfully, ¡°Mr. Lin, you¡¯re here.¡± Her voice seemed to have attracted the attention of the other people in Flower Stem. Soon, others turned around as well. When they saw Lin Fan, they said in a respectful tone, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± The greeting seemed to be contagious. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Soon, the entire Flower Stem office was filled with greetings. ¡­ In the Human Resources Department. The man in a suit introduced himself in an orderly manner, ¡°My name is Zhou Xuhui. I graduated from the University of Science and Technology. I used to work in the management of international brands such as Chanel and Dior. I obtained excellent results¡­¡± The HR representative in front of him kept nodding. He was secretly delighted. He would surely get the job! One had to know¡­ Flower Stem was known for its special fragrances and magical beautifying effects. It had even used perfume to treat the royalty of Eagle Country! With the addition of a few types of cosmetics, Flower Stem had become one of the top cosmetics brand in the world. Its products were in short supply. The reason why the man in a suit came to Flower Stem was because the benefits were extremely good. After joining Flower Stem, he also wanted to use his position to obtain some distribution rights in Flower Stem. He was in it for the money! The man in a suit looked at the HR representative who was nodding his head non-stop, as if he could already see money rolling toward him. At this moment, a greeting suddenly rang out from outside. The man in the suit was puzzled. The HR representative, who was in front of him, hurriedly stood up and walked out quickly. He shouted, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Without the interviewer, the man in a suit could only stop introducing himself. With a hint of doubt, he stuck his head out. After all, there were so many employees in Flower Stem, so the person they were greeting must be very impressive. He could take a look so that he could pay more attention after he started working. In the next moment¡­ The man in the suit froze. He realized that the person who everyone was greeting was actually the man who had taken the initiative to step out of the elevator just now! Chapter 476 - 476 Hiring; Sweet! 476 Hiring; Sweet! Just as the suited man was shocked and trying to guess Lin Fan¡¯s identity¡­ Not far away, there was a sudden burst of brisk footsteps. A woman with a perfect figure and snow-white skin slowly walked over. It was Chu Yunyue, the chairwoman of Flower Stem! Chu Yunyue, who had always been serious in the media, had the appearance of an ice-cold chairwoman. At this moment, however, she was like a shy little woman. She went forward and held Lin Fan¡¯s arm. Her beautiful face was filled with a sweet smile. ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re here!¡± Lin Fan smiled and nodded. ¡°Yeah.¡± Seeing this¡­ Whether it was the man in the suit or the petite woman beside him, their mouths were wide open. They were completely stunned. This¡­ What was going on? This man was the boyfriend of the chairwoman of Flower Stem? Her husband perhaps? At this moment, Lin Fan happened to see the man in the suit poking his head out of the human resources office not far away. He frowned and pointed at him. ¡°Is that person here for an interview? His character isn¡¯t good.¡± Chu Yunyue looked in the direction Lin Fan was pointing, and her face turned cold. The man in the suit could not help but shiver and stammer, ¡°I¡­ I graduated from the University of Science and Technology. In addition, I¡¯ve worked as a manager for Chanel, Dior, and other cosmetics¡­¡± However, before he could finish listing his glorious experience, Chu Yunyue interrupted him, ¡°Get out! Flower Stem doesn¡¯t welcome you!¡± At this moment, the domineering and cold female chairwoman was back! One had to know¡­ The reason why Flower Stem became a top international cosmetics company was because of Lin Fan. Furthermore, Lin Fan was the person Chu Yunyue loved the most. If Lin Fan hated someone, Chu Yunyue would not hesitate to fire the company¡¯s general manager or CEO, let alone an interviewee! Chu Yunyue saw that the man in the suit was still not leaving and asked coldly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you want me to get the security guards to kick you out?¡± In fact, there was no need to call security at all. Many of Flower Stem¡¯s employees had already surrounded the suited man. It looked as if he would be thrown out if he did not leave immediately. This scene¡­ The man in the suit was so frightened that a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He did not dare to say anything more, nor did he dare to stay any longer. He lowered his head and ran out as if he was escaping. After he left, the atmosphere in Flower Stem relaxed a little. At this moment, Lin Fan thought of the petite woman and said, ¡°Oh, right. She¡¯s here for an interview too. She¡¯s a good person.¡± Chu Yunyue regained her sweet and lovely appearance and smiled. ¡°Hello there. I¡¯m Chu Yunyue, the chairwoman of Flower Stem.¡± As she spoke, she took the initiative to extend her slender right hand. The petite woman had long heard the staff of Flower Stem greeting Lin Fan. She also saw Chu Yunyue acting like a little girl holding Lin Fan¡¯s arm. Additionally, because of Lin Fan¡¯s words, Chu Yunyue lost her temper and chased away the man in the suit¡­ This caused her to be completely stunned on the spot. At this moment, the petite woman suddenly saw Chu Yunyue¡¯s warm face. She was also getting a personal greeting and handshake¡­ One had to know¡­ Chu Yunyue was the chairwoman of the most popular and luxurious cosmetics company in the world. This woman was now smiling at her! She personally greeted her too! She even took the initiative to shake her hand!? This series of events made the petite woman feel like she was dreaming. After a while, the petite woman reached out her hand and said excitedly, ¡°Director Chu, hello, hello¡­ My name is Li Rujing.¡± ¡°Ms. Li, which department do you want to join?¡± asked Chu Yunyue. Li Rujing quickly said, ¡°I¡­¡± I graduated from Jiangbei Business University and majored in marketing¡­ I¡¯m quite interested in this field.¡± After a pause, she said, ¡°If¡­ If there are no vacancies, I can go to other departments.¡± Chu Yunyue smiled. ¡°The marketing department of Flower Stem is a very large department. Don¡¯t worry, we have empty positions¡­¡± Then, she turned to a man in his 30s with short hair and gold-rimmed glasses. She said, ¡°Supervisor Yang, take care of her.¡± Many people in the marketing department heard this and cast envious looks at Li Rujing. One had to know¡­ Yang Changlin was the most talented person in Flower Stem. Be it ability or connections, he was very good. More importantly, he was deeply trusted by Chu Yunyue. There were even rumors that he would be promoted to marketing director soon. With Yang Changlin personally taking care of Li Rujing, would her future be any less bright? Li Rujing understood that she had been accepted by Flower Pedicle. ¡°Thank you, Chairwoman Chu!¡± she said excitedly. Then, Li Rujing seemed to have thought of something and bowed to Lin Fan. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Lin!¡± In fact¡­ She came for the interview today without any hope of being accepted by Flower Stem. Flower Stem was very famous now, and their benefits were very good. As far as she knew, many graduates from key universities found it difficult to enter Flower Stem. Jiangbei Business University, where she graduated, was just an ordinary university. The chances of her being accepted were too low. Now, she had been specially recruited by the chairwoman, Chu Yunyue, without even being interviewed. Li Rujing understood that all of this¡­ was because of Lin Fan. Lin Fan said, ¡°Work hard and continue to maintain your attitude. That¡¯s enough.¡± He did not stay for long. He held Chu Yunyue¡¯s hand and went to the chairwoman¡¯s office. The door was gently locked. The curtains closed automatically. The lights in the office immediately dimmed. Perhaps it was because the office had just experienced the sun¡¯s rays or perhaps it was because the office door was tightly shut¡­ The air¡­ gradually became hot and dry. Lin Fan¡¯s and Chu Yunyue¡¯s faces were flushed red. ¡­ In the chairwoman¡¯s office, the football match began to play. Shouts and screams rose and fell one after another. It was very exciting! Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue were also sweating profusely from excitement. About two hours later¡­ The commentator finally shouted, ¡°It¡¯s in!¡± ¡­ Chu Yunyue nestled in Lin Fan¡¯s arms, her face full of happiness as she chatted with him from time to time. ¡°You solved Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis yesterday?¡± Chu Yunyue asked. Even though she did not stay with Lin Fan all the time, she had been paying attention to all the news about Lin Fan. Every time Lin Fan invented a new high-tech product or solved a world problem, she would always be overjoyed. She was happy for Lin Fan. She was happy that she could become his woman. Chapter 477 - 477 Traveling; Confusion! 477 Traveling; Confusion! Lin Fan gently caressed Chu Yunyue¡¯s pretty face and said, ¡°Yes, I did.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you have to go to school?¡± Chu Yunyue asked. ¡°It¡¯s because I solved Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis that I¡¯m not going to school.¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°There¡¯ll be many professors coming to ask me questions, and many reporters wanting to surround me¡­ That¡¯s too troublesome.¡± Chu Yunyue could not help but smile. For most people, they would definitely put up with it. Anyone would feel very proud. If the reporters surrounded them, it would be even more exciting. That was because they could become famous and become the idol of many people. In order to become famous and become an idol, some people did things behind the scenes. However, Lin Fan¡­ Completely avoiding these things. However, it was precisely because of this that Lin Fan had the time to accompany her now, no? The happiness on Chu Yunyue¡¯s pretty face became even stronger when she thought of this. At this moment, she seemed to have thought of something and said, ¡°By the way, I¡¯m going to take the outstanding employees from last season on a trip to the Maldives. Do you want to go with me?¡± The Maldives¡­? Lin Fan blinked his eyes as a strange look appeared on his face. Did he not just get 51% of the shares of the Whitehorse Manor in the Maldives today? Go play in the Maldives? It seemed pretty good! Thinking of this, Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°Alright! When are you going?¡± After hearing Lin Fan¡¯s answer, Chu Yunyue¡¯s face was filled with smiles. ¡°Tomorrow. We¡¯re preparing to go tomorrow!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Fan said. In order to go to the Maldives tomorrow, Chu Yunyue needed to finish all her work, especially the important ones. After spending some time with Lin Fan, she started to work seriously. Meanwhile, Lin Fan was sitting on the sofa in his office, playing with his phone. In the blink of an eye, the sky darkened. They were going to the Maldives together tomorrow. Therefore, Lin Fan stayed at Chu Yunyue¡¯s house. The air was still a little hot in the early summer night. Regarding this¡­ Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue had no choice but to wear cool clothes to relieve themselves from the heat. ¡°We¡¯re going to the Maldives tomorrow. Let¡¯s not sleep tonight.¡± ¡°Then¡­ let¡¯s sleep for half the night.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± ¡­ The next day, the weather was clear and the birds were singing. Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue went straight to Jiangbei International Airport after breakfast. At this moment, Flower Stem¡¯s outstanding employees were already waiting in the distance. When they saw Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue, they waved and greeted them. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± ¡°Hello, Chairwoman Chu.¡± Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue also greeted them back, ¡°Hello.¡± Chu Yunyue added, ¡°We¡¯re not in the company now. Besides, we¡¯re going out to play. Everyone, there¡¯s no need to be so formal, and there¡¯s no need to call me by my title. Just call me Ms. Chu.¡± When everyone heard this, they all smiled. Of course, there was also one person who still seemed a little uncomfortable. That was Li Rujing. Yesterday, she had just gained a little understanding of the office environment of Flower Stem. Now, she was going on a trip to the Maldives with Chu Yunyue, Lin Fan, and a large group of outstanding employees and executives from Flower Stem. This made her feel flattered. It was obvious that Chu Yunyue was taking care of her. After everyone gathered, they walked into the airport together. When they arrived at the airport¡­ Five beautiful and tall air stewardesses were already waiting there. They bowed slightly together and said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Mr Lin.¡± ¡°Mr. Lin, do you want to go to the VIP lounge to rest and eat some food, or do you want to board directly?¡± The air stewardess standing at the front asked. Lin Fan looked at Chu Yunyue. Meanwhile, Chu Yunyue asked the staff behind her, ¡°Do you guys want to eat?¡± The employees shook their heads. ¡°Let¡¯s board the plane, then,¡± Chu Yunyue replied. Lin Fan nodded his head. The air stewardess said, ¡°Alright. Mr. Lin and distinguished guests¡­ this way please.¡± Then¡­ Lin Fan, Chu Yunyue, and a large group of employees from Flower Stem slowly walked forward under the lead of five flight attendants. Li Rujing, who was walking at the back, could not help but whisper, ¡°We haven¡¯t collected the tickets yet, right?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to check in if you¡¯re taking the plane with Mr. Lin,¡± Yang Changlin said with a smile. ¡°N-No need to check tickets?¡± Li Rujing blinked her eyes, still a little puzzled. However, she soon understood the reason. After everyone took the Mercedes-Benz bus, a luxury passenger plane was already waiting there when they arrived. On both sides of a bright red carpet stood two rows of pretty air stewardesses. ¡°Welcome aboard this flight, Mr. Lin. We¡¯ll serve you wholeheartedly.¡± This scene stunned Li Rujing. She had also taken a few flights. When had he ever seen such a scene? Yang Changlin and the outstanding employees of Flower Stem looked calmer. That was because some of them had been to Eagle Country with Lin Fan and had seen such a scene. There were some of them who did not go to Eagle Country back then. However, they had also heard of such things from those who had been there. Two rows of air stewardesses welcomed Lin Fan, who held Chu Yunyue¡¯s slender hand. The two walked down the soft red carpet and slowly boarded the luxurious plane. Even though there were more people going to the Maldives than the Eagle Country, they were sitting in the luxury plane, so it still looked very empty. With a loud noise from the aircraft¡¯s engine, the entire aircraft finally left the ground and soared into the endless sky. They passed through the white clouds that were like cotton candy and continued forward under the blue sky. At this moment, Li Rujing¡¯s stomach growled. In the morning, she did not eat breakfast at all in order to rush over. However, she did not dare to say it just now. Yang Changlin, who was beside him, asked,¡± Are you hungry? There¡¯ll be delicious food soon.¡± ¡°Oh, okay!¡± Li Rujing nodded. She did not doubt it too much. After all, even if it was a domestic flight, food would be provided on the plane. Moreover¡­ This time, it was an international flight. As if to verify Yang Changlin¡¯s words, a sweet-looking air stewardess slowly walked over with a cart of food. She smiled and said, ¡°Today, we have Australian lobster, top-grade big abalone, M9 beef, top-grade caviar, golden fish, high-grade vegetables, shrimp fried rice, lotus seed porridge, bird¡¯s nest¡­¡± The stewardess listed a lot of dishes in a row, and Li Rujing was dumbfounded. Li Rujing even thought that she was hallucinating. Chapter 478 - 478 Beauty; Let Me Drop You Off! 478 Beauty; Let Me Drop You Off! Food was indeed prepared on planes. However, most were cheap foods such as bread, fried rice, and other things. The stewardess, on the other hand, listed out a bunch of dishes that only appeared in high-end restaurants. It was no wonder that Li Rujing would react like this. Yang Changlin saw that Li Rujing had not ordered. He was a little impatient as he said, ¡°Please give me a serving of Australian lobster, big abalone, premium caviar, M9 beef, bird¡¯s nest¡­ And a glass of Lafite.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir. Please wait a moment.¡± Thus, under Li Rujing¡¯s shocked gaze¡­ Australian lobster, plump abalone, black pearl-like caviar, snowflake-like beef, crystal clear bird¡¯s nest¡­ as well as a glass of gorgeous Lafite wine were all brought to Yang Changlin. All the dishes were fragrant, whetting one¡¯s appetite. Yang Changlin hurriedly picked up the abalone and put it into his mouth. After chewing on it for a while, he nodded repeatedly and said, ¡°Delicious!¡± Then, when he saw that Rujing did not seem to move, he could not help but ask, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you eating? Don¡¯t worry, the food here is all free. You can eat as much as you want! So don¡¯t waste this chance!¡± Li Rujing had long been intoxicated by the aroma of food in the air. At this moment, after hearing Yang Changlin¡¯s words, she slowly came back to her senses and said, ¡°Alright¡­Alright.¡± Then, she said to the air stewardess, ¡°Then¡­ Then I¡¯ll have Australian lobster, M9 beef, golden fish, caviar, bird¡¯s nest¡­¡± She looked at the Lafite beside Yang Changlin and hesitated for a moment before saying ,¡±And a glass of Lafite.¡± The name of Lafite was too famous. In many TV shows, the female leads would gently sip on Lafite wine with elegant movements like princesses. Li Rujing liked to watch TV shows. There were many times when she fantasized about tasting Lafite like the female leads. However, Lafite was too expensive. She had never been able to get her wish. Now, she finally had a chance! ¡°Okay, please wait a moment,¡± the air stewardess said with a smile. Soon, a plate of delicious food and a glass of red Lafite wine were placed in front of Li Rujing. After thanking the air stewardess, Li Rujing suppressed the excitement in her heart, picked up the wine glass, and slowly poured the Lafite into her mouth. It tasted sweet and refreshing. Li Rujing¡¯s face was filled with satisfaction. This was the taste of Lafite! Then, she picked up a piece of Australian lobster and put it in her mouth. The meat was bouncy, tender, and full of flavor. ¡°It¡¯s delicious!¡± Li Rujing said from the bottom of her heart.¡± ¡­ Many people were on the plane. In the beginning, looking at the marshmallow-like white clouds and the blue sky was very enjoyable. As time passed, especially on a long-distance flight, they would begin to feel very bored. However, this luxury plane was different. There was top-notch food, wine, interesting books, good videos, and good music here¡­ Everyone was enjoying their time very much. After another burst of loud noise from the engine, the luxury plane finally landed slowly. They looked into the distance and saw rows of light-colored buildings. Rows of signs in English, Chinese, Japanese, and other languages were displayed in front of them. This place¡­ It was the Maldives. ¡­ Just as Lin Fan¡¯s luxury plane landed, another plane landed as well. A man named Huo Qilong was wearing sunglasses and said in Chinese, ¡°Maldives, I¡¯m coming!¡± The Maldives was a very famous seaside tourist city. Generally speaking, it was mostly men who brought women here to play together. This was the only way to elevate the relationship between a man and a woman! The Maldives was a combination of romance and money! However¡­ Huo Qilong did not bring any women with him. He was rich! He believed that as long as he liked a woman, there was nothing he could not get! Since that was the case, why did he have to bring a woman here? Hua Qilong looked around and soon his eyes fell on Chu Yunyue, who had just stepped off the plane. Chu Yunyue¡¯s skin was very fair. In addition, she drank the Spirit Tea given by Lin Fan every day and used the first version of the beauty essence¡­ This made her skin look like a baby¡¯s, fair and tender. Under the sunlight, her skin was smooth, beautiful, and delicate. Coupled with her exquisite face and round, plump figure¡­ Hua Qilong had never seen such a beautiful woman before. He was completely stunned. As Chu Yunyue got closer and closer to him, a intoxicating fragrance entered his nose and mouth. Hao Qilong was completely¡­ intoxicated! He gulped and pretended to just have noticed Chu Yunyue. ¡°Pretty lady, if I¡¯m not mistaken, you¡¯re also Chinese, right?¡± He saw the Dahua phone in Chu Yunyue¡¯s hand. This was a very popular mobile phone in Hua Nation. Chu Yunyue nodded politely and said, ¡°Yes.¡± Hua Qilong gave a smile that he thought made him lok handsome. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to meet a compatriot overseas. What a coincidence!¡± Then, he raised his arm and revealed the Vacheron Constantin diamond watch worth two million yuan on his wrist. ¡°It should be about time. The driver should be here soon.¡± He looked as if he was looking at the time, but intentionally or unintentionally, he sent the sparkling dial into Chu Yunyue¡¯s field of vision. Hua Qilong laughed in his heart, ¡®Which beauty won¡¯t come over to me when they see my Vacheron Constantin diamond watch?¡¯ He had used this kind of casual action to capture the hearts of countless beautiful women before. However¡­ This time, he was clearly going to be disappointed. Chu Yunyue did not seem to have seen his diamond Vacheron Constantin watch. She was not even looking at him. Hua Qilong could not help but wonder if she did not recognize his Vacheron Constantin watch. At this moment, a multi-colored Maybach drove over from afar. Seeing this¡­ The corner of Hua Qilong¡¯s mouth curled up slightly. ¡°My driver is here!¡± Sure enough, the Maybach finally stopped in front of him. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Hua Qilong opened the car door. ¡°Pretty lady, seeing as we¡¯re compatriots, I can get the driver to drop you off.¡± After saying that, the corner of Hua Qilong¡¯s mouth curled up slightly. He thought to himself, ¡®It¡¯s fine if she doesn¡¯t know Vacheron Constantin, but she can¡¯t possibly not know a Mercedes-Benz Maybach, right? ¡®Pretty woman! ¡®Hurry up and get in the car!¡¯ Hua Qilong could already see the sweet scene after Chu Yunyue got into the car. Chapter 479 - 479 Arrival; Enjoy! 479 Arrival; Enjoy! At this moment, another honk sounded not far away. Then¡­ A Rolls-Royce limousine and five ordinary Rolls-Royce cars formed a fleet of top-class luxury cars that drove over from afar. Under the watchful eyes of everyone at the airport, it steadily stopped in front of Chu Yunyue. Then, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes hurriedly walked over. He spoke in fluent Chinese and said respectfully, ¡°Mr. Lin, welcome to the Maldives.¡± He was the chairman of Whitehorse Manor, Grians. Yesterday, Grians had been feeling nervous and called Lin Fan. He wanted to use the opportunity to report to Lin Fan to get closer to him. After all, Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder of Whitehorse Manor. One sentence from him could even make him, the chairman, lose his job immediately. Lin Fan was afraid of trouble and did not listen to Grians¡¯ report. Instead, he directly said that he was going to bring people to the Whitehorse Manor for a vacation tomorrow. This sentence¡­ made Gries both happy and nervous. He was happy that this allowed him to quickly get closer to his new boss. What made him nervous was that if he did not treat his boss and the group well, he would be in danger. After all, he still did not know what his new boss was like. However, Grians agreed immediately and said that he would pick Lin Fan up at the airport. ¡­ Lin Fan looked at Grians and nodded. Then, he said to Huo Qilong, ¡°I don¡¯t need you to drop my girlfriend off.¡± After saying that, Lin Fan held Chu Yunyue¡¯s slender hand and slowly got into the extended Rolls-Royce at the front. It was only then that Huo Qilong seemed to notice a tall and handsome man standing beside Chu Yunyue. The fleet of top-notch luxury cars roared together, leaving behind a pungent exhaust that choked Huo Qilong and made him cough. ¡°Pfft, the woman is pretty but the man is trash.¡± Then, he got into the Maybach. Obviously, he was not intimidated at all by the Rolls-Royce fleet. That was because¡­ This was the Maldives! That man must have just rented the luxury fleet. It was nothing at all. ¡­ Yang Changlin, Li Rujing, and the employees of Flower Stem were sitting in the Rolls-Royce. They felt the ultimate comfort brought by Rolls-Royce and looked at the novel buildings and people with different skin colors outside¡­ They clicked their tongues in wonder. Before long, they arrived in front of the blue sea. Grians was like the most humble waiter as he personally opened the door of the Rolls-Royce for Lin Fan. ¡°This is the pier by the sea,¡± he introduced as he walked. ¡°The luxury seaplanes of the Whitehorse Manor are docked in front.¡± Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing. As expected¡­ Yachts that looked like airplanes were docked by the sea. Under Grians¡¯ arrangement¡­ Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue sat alone in the same plane, enjoying privacy throughout the journey. The rest of the people were ferried over in four other luxury seaplanes. It had to be said that these luxury seaplanes were really good. The seats were all custom-made LV models. They were very comfortable. Coupled with the beautiful scenery of the azure sea, the cool sea breeze, and the wine and delicacies that had been prepared in advance¡­ They were relaxed and happy. It was as if they had arrived in heaven. Cheers and laughter rose and fell! This¡­ was just the beginning of their enjoyment! About 40 minutes later, beautiful islands appeared in their sight. This place¡­ was the Whitehorse Manor! When the five luxury seaplanes slowly docked, Yang Changlin, Li Rujing, and everyone else¡¯s mouths were wide open, their faces full of surprise. They had seen many pictures and videos of the Maldives on the internet before they left and were deeply shocked by what they saw. However, when they arrived at the scene, they were still shocked. The exterior walls of each luxurious villa were light yellow in color, blending with the golden beach. In front of the entrance was a large swimming pool that was hundreds of square meters in size. Ahead, there was a pool of clear water that could be seen with the naked eye. Under the tall coconut trees, there were comfortable reclining chairs. There were also lush green trees and bright flowers around¡­ Paradise on earth! Such words involuntarily appeared in everyone¡¯s minds. ¡°There are six islands in Whitehorse Manor,¡± Grians introduced. ¡°They¡¯re sports island, spa island, food island, two hotel islands, and a luxury island. ¡°Mr. Lin, the place you¡¯re at is the luxury island. This island can give you and your friends the perfect private space. There are a total of four villas for you to stay in¡­ ¡°If you have any requests, such as food, wine, or others, you can tell me anytime through the server or phone¡­ ¡°Mr. Lin and distinguished guests, I wish you a happy holiday!¡± After saying that, he hunched his body and slowly retreated outside. It had to be said that Grians was a person who understood propriety and the human heart. When some people wanted to get closer to others, they would be like mangy dogs, always following by their side. However, Grians had given Lin Fan enough personal space after giving him a grand welcome. It was because he understood¡­ Lin Fan definitely did not come here to listen to his nonsense. Instead, he wanted to enjoy his alone time with the beauty beside him. After Grians left, Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue moved into the easternmost villa. Yang Changlin, Li Rujing, and the other outstanding employees were assigned to the remaining three villas. These villas were very big, so there was definitely enough space for all of them. When Yang Changlin, Li Rujing, and the others walked into the villa, they were immediately stunned by the decorations inside. Everything in here, including towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, shower gel, slippers, bedsheets¡­ They were all custom-made from LV, Guillain, Givenchy, and so on. It could be said that the villas here were simply a large warehouse of luxury goods! Thus, the crowd once again let out a wave of excited screams. ¡­ At this moment, Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue had already entered their villa. The two of them held hands and looked at the blue sea and sky. They enjoyed the refreshing sea breeze that carried a hint of saltiness. It was very comfortable. Chu Yunyue felt Lin Fan¡¯s strong shoulders, and her heart softened. She slowly leaned her head against Lin Fan¡¯s chest. Perhaps Lin Fan¡¯s chest was too hot. Gradually, Chu Yunyue¡¯s pretty face blushed. She slowly lifted her head¡­ Under the sunlight, their shadows completely merged together. The raging waves kept hitting the shore, loud and passionate. Chapter 480 - 480 I Want to Stay Here; Subcontract! 480 I Want to Stay Here; Subcontract! Gradually¡­ The setting sun dyed the sky and the sea red. It was very beautiful. That was because they had been on the plane for almost the entire day and had been shouting for almost the entire day. Therefore, none of them left the luxurious island. Instead, they asked people to send delicious food to each of them. After eating and drinking their fill, Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue sat on the reclining chairs. The sea breeze blew away the fatigue on their bodies. Looking up at the sky, they could see the crescent moon and bright stars. Everything was great. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning. When a ray of bright sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and into the bedroom, Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Chu Yunyue, who was sleeping soundly like a kitten, and a faint smile appeared on his face. When she was in Jiangbei, Chu Yunyue was extremely busy every day with Flower Stem. Now, she had a rare break. At this moment, Chu Yunyue¡¯s long eyelashes trembled slightly. She slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Lin Fan, a blissful smile appeared on her face. ¡°Lin Fan, when did you wake up?¡± ¡°I just woke up,¡± Lin Fan said. When lovers were together, it was as if they had endless things to say to each other. The two of them leaned against each other and kept talking about love. When Chu Yunyue¡¯s stomach growled, the two of them got out of bed. After washing up, Lin Fan went to the beach first. At this moment, a seaplane flew over from afar. A middle-aged man with a beer belly and an oval-faced woman sat inside. ¡°Hubby, are we staying on the luxury island?¡± Hubby? Looking at their age, they could be father and daughter. It had to be said that this was also one of the charms of the Maldives. Age no longer mattered. The man with the beer belly thought for a moment and said, ¡°Look¡­ There are already people staying there. Let¡¯s stay in a villa on the hotel island.¡± However, the oval-faced woman immediately refused. ¡°I don¡¯t care! I want to stay on the luxury island! Besides, hubby, I heard that Chairman Ma used to stay there. ¡°If we stay here, you can become like Chairman Ma in the future!¡± The oval-faced woman continued in a delicate voice, ¡°If we stay on the luxury island, you can call the shots at night¡­¡± The beer-bellied man listened to the oval-faced woman¡¯s words, and he was convinced. He gritted his teeth and finally said, ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll stay on the luxury island.¡± Then, the man with the beer belly shouted at Lin Fan, who was standing on the beach, ¡°Hey, friend!¡± Lin Fan replied, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± When the beer-bellied man heard Lin Fan¡¯s reply, his heart skipped a beat. Chinese! This was easy! The beer-bellied man continued, ¡°Friend, you and your friends must have all chipped in up to book the luxury island, right? How about you discuss it with your friends and give me the island? I¡¯ll give you 500,000 yuan.¡± As he spoke, he puffed out his huge beer belly and looked determined to win. The man with the beer belly knew the price of booking the luxury island. It was 300,000 yuan per night. Many people who came to visit the Whitehorse Manor would share the bill with others and book the luxury island. He was ready to fork out 500,000 yuan, which was an increase of 200,000 yuan on top of the original rate! In other words, if Lin Fan and his friends gave up the island for this sum of money¡­ Not only would they not have spent money on their trip to the Whitehorse Manor, but they would have also earned a sum of money. The beer-bellied man believed that Lin Fan would make a wise choice. ¡°500,000 yuan!¡± The oval-faced woman beside him shouted excitedly. ¡°Hubby, you really love me!¡± After saying that, she leaned her head over. The man with the beer belly felt the softness on his face and smiled. Then, he shouted at Lin Fan, ¡°What do you think?¡± Lin Fan looked at the man like he was a fool and said, ¡°No thanks.¡± After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave. Seeing this¡­ The oval-faced woman could not help but say coquettishly, ¡°Hubby¡­¡± ¡°600,000 yuan!¡± The man with the beer belly hurriedly said. ¡°Subcontract the island to me!¡± The original price was 300,000 yuan, but the subcontracted price became 600,000 yuan! It directly doubled! However, why would Lin Fan care about such a small amount of money? He did not stop at all and continued walking forward. The man with the beer belly shouted again, ¡°800,000 yuan! ¡°One million yuan!¡± Unfortunately, Lin Fan still did not reply. The oval-faced woman pouted and said coquettishly, ¡°Honey, I want to stay on the luxury island!¡± The man with the beer belly heard the words of the oval-faced woman. At the same time, because Lin Fan was ignoring him, he was furious. ¡°Brat, don¡¯t be so shameless!¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Suddenly, Lin Fan turned around and said coldly, ¡°Dog, what did you say?¡± Lin Fan finally realized¡­ Sometimes, being too friendly would make people trample all over one. ¡°What are you scolding me for?!¡± The beer-bellied man shouted angrily. Then, he turned to the pilot and said, ¡°Bring me over!¡± The pilot hesitated. He was an employee of the Whitehorse Manor. If something bad happened on the island, he would have to take responsibility. The man with the beer belly seemed to understand his thoughts. ¡°I know your chairman. I¡¯ll take responsibility for everything!¡± At this moment, another seaplane flew over from afar. There was only a white man in a suit sitting in it. It was Grians, the chairman of the Whitehorse Manor. The beer-bellied man¡¯s expression changed slightly as he shouted, ¡°Mr. Grians!¡± Grians could not help but turn to look, only to find that it was an unfamiliar middle-aged man. However, he still maintained the courtesy of a service worker and smiled. ¡°Hello, may I know who you are?¡± The man with the beer belly had just lied. He did know Grians, the chairman of the Whitehorse Manor. However, they had only met once and were not familiar with each other at all. That day, the beer-bellied man attended a banquet with a man named Yuan Ping¡¯an. Yuan Ping¡¯an had a collaboration with the Whitehorse Manor. Later, he introduced Grians, who was also at the banquet, to the beer-bellied man. At that time, the two of them only chatted casually and drank a glass of wine. Then, they exchanged business cards. Now, from Grians¡¯ tone, it was not difficult to tell that he did not remember the beer-bellied man. The beer-bellied man could not help but feel a little embarrassed. He said, ¡°Hello, Mr. Grians. I¡¯m Qin Changcun. We met at the banquet last time. It was Yuan Ping¡¯an who introduced us.¡± Grians thought for a moment, but he still could not remember who Qin Changcun was. ¡°I see.¡± Chapter 481 - 481 Apologies; Punishment 481 Apologies; Punishment When Qin Changcun heard this, he could not help but reveal a smug smile. ¡®Did you see that? ¡®I know the chairman of the Whitehorse Manor!¡¯ Then, he sneered at Lin Fan. It was as if he was saying, ¡®Kid, weren¡¯t you very arrogant just now? I¡¯ll see how arrogant you are later!¡¯ ¡°Mr. Grians, you have to manage the Whitehorse Manor well.¡± Qin Changcun cleared his throat and said. ¡°I just offered a million yuan out of goodwill to discuss with this young man about subcontracting the luxury island to me. ¡°In the end, this young man actually insulted me. ¡°I don¡¯t think such an uncultured young man is suitable to stay in the Whitehorse Manor. Perhaps he has even maliciously destroyed some of the facilities in the Whitehorse Manor¡­¡± It had to be said that Qin Changcun was quite capable. With just a few words, he had turned himself into an honest person who had been bullied and humiliated. He had painted Lin Fan as a rude and overbearing evil person. At the same time, he also found a good reason for the Whitehorse Manor to chase Lin Fan away. He suspected that Lin Fan had destroyed the facilities of the Whitehorse Manor. In addition, he had a personal relationship with Grians. He had reason to believe that Lin Fan would be chased out of the Whitehorse Manor soon. Grians frowned slightly and looked in the direction Qin Changcun pointed. In the next moment¡­ Grians¡¯ pupils constricted, and his expression changed drastically. He realized that the person Qin Changcun was referring to was Lin Fan! His own boss! Qin Changcun said that his boss was unreasonable? He even wanted to chase away the boss?! What a bastard! Qin Changcun did not notice the change in Grians¡¯ expression. ¡°Mr. Grians, don¡¯t worry. After he leaves, I¡¯ll still spend one million yuan to book the luxury island. I¡­¡± However, before he could finish, Grians shouted angrily, ¡°Shut up! ¡°Now, immediately apologize to Mr. Lin. Otherwise, the Whitehorse Manor will not provide you with any services! We won¡¯t even send you back to the seaside pier!¡± Qin Changcun was stunned by the sudden change in Grians. After a while, he stuttered, ¡°Mr. Grians, Yuan Ping¡¯an and I are friends¡­ Moreover, you¡¯re a seven-star hotel. You need to provide the appropriate service to your guests¡­¡± At this moment, he had already realized that something was wrong. Therefore, he no longer stuck to his previous method. At the same time, he also explained what those in the hotel line should do. ¡°Apologize immediately!¡± Grians shouted angrily. ¡°Otherwise, go swim in the sea! The planes and islands here are all our private property!¡± Qin Changcun was only Yuan Ping¡¯an¡¯s friend. Even if it was Yuan Ping¡¯an himself, so what? One had to know¡­ Yuan Ping¡¯an was just a food supplier of the Whitehorse Manor. In a sense, the Whitehorse Manor was Yuan Ping¡¯an¡¯s sugar daddy! Yuan Ping¡¯an was the one who had to please the Whitehorse Manor. As for what Qin Changcun said about the Whitehorse Manor providing appropriate services to its guests, that was also right. However, that was only under normal circumstances. This was clearly not normal circumstances. That was because the man had a conflict with Lin Fan. He even wanted to chase Lin Fan out of the Whitehorse Manor. This was absolutely unforgivable! Grians knew that if he did not handle this matter well, Lin Fan¡¯s impression of him would plummet to the bottom! ¡­ The pilot slowly stood up after hearing Grians¡¯ words. That appearance¡­ It was as if he would throw Qin Changcun and the woman into the sea if Grians said anything else. Qin Changcun¡¯s and the oval-faced woman¡¯s hearts trembled, and their faces turned pale. Qin Changcun knew that Grians was not joking. That young man probably had a terrifying identity. He could only stutter, ¡°M-Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s my fault¡­¡± Lin Fan said calmly, ¡°Next time, don¡¯t look down on others. Otherwise, just an apology won¡¯t solve it.¡± After saying that, he turned around and walked inside. ¡°Yes, yes, yes,¡± Qin Changcun hurriedly replied. Grians said to the pilot of the seaplane, ¡°Send them back.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± the pilot responded. About 40 minutes later, Qin Changcun and the oval-faced woman returned to the seaside pier. The oval-faced woman said, ¡°Honey, who exactly is that Mr. Lin? How despicable!¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Qin Changcun puffed out his chest and said. ¡°If it was anywhere else, I would have made him pay!¡± The oval-faced woman said, ¡°Wow! Hubby, you¡¯re so awesome!¡± ¡°Of course,¡± Qin Changcun said proudly. The oval-faced woman added, ¡°Why don¡¯t we go to Vela¡¯s private island? It¡¯s also very fun there.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Qin Changcun nodded. Therefore, the oval-faced woman took out her phone and quickly searched for information about Vela¡¯s private island. At this moment, Qin Changcun¡¯s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Yuan Ping¡¯an. Qin Changcun immediately answered the call. ¡°President Yuan, you¡­¡± However, just as Qin Changcun opened his mouth, Yuan Ping¡¯an¡¯s roar sounded from inside. ¡°F*ck you, damn it!¡± ¡°I was kind enough to introduce you to Big Boss whenever I had the chance. I even brought you so much business. Is this how you repay me? Hmm? ¡°Now, the Whitehorse Manor has canceled all cooperation with me. In addition, Mr. Grians has also blacklisted me in the industry! ¡°I¡¯m completely finished! ¡°I¡¯m done for, and you won¡¯t be able to live well either! Let me tell you, not only will I not cooperate with you in the future, but I will also make sure that all the business I introduced to you will end here. ¡°In addition, I also know about your illegal coal mining in the country and your tax evasion¡­ Prepare to receive a report letter!¡± After saying this, Yuan Ping¡¯an hung up the phone. Qin Changcun held the phone, his face pale. Losing the business introduced by Yuan Ping¡¯an, losing the coal mining, and possibly being wanted¡­ It was over! He was completely finished! The oval-faced woman next to him was completely unaware. She smiled and said, ¡°Hubby, let¡¯s go for the best and most expensive villa on Vela¡¯s private island later¡­¡± When Qin Changcun heard this voice, his heart was suddenly filled with anger. It was her! If it was not for this woman who insisted on coming to the Maldives and staying on the luxury island, how could he have offended Mr. Lin? The more Qin Changcun thought about it, the angrier he became. He raised his hand and slapped the oval-faced woman. ¡°B*tch!¡± ¡­ Chapter 482 - 482 A Meal; Consumption! 482 A Meal; Consumption! Lin Fan was completely oblivious to all of this. At this moment, he, Chu Yunyue, Yang Changlin, Li Rujing, and the other employees of Flower Stem had breakfast and arrived at the sports island. There was a beach volleyball court, baseball court, swimming pool, basketball court, and a variety of fitness equipment. There were also many beautiful women in bikinis with hot figures. Laughter and shouts were endless. Some of them rushed into the sea and played with each other. Some chased after the women while laughing non-stop. There were people jumping up and down, constantly cheering. There were people rolling on the beach. These¡­ It was all children¡¯s games. However, in this place, the women were in their twenties and the men were in their thirties or forties. This was one of the charms of the Whitehorse Manor. It had the unique power to make people return to their childlike state. Lin Fan, Chu Yunyue, Yang Changlin, Li Rujing, and the other employees came to the spa island after playing on the sports island. There were top-notch masseuses and beauticians here. Their massage techniques were perfect. They used luxury essential oils from Lancome, Dior, and other brands. Everyone felt extremely comfortable. They looked at the blue sky and the beach, enjoyed the perfect spa treatment, and drank high-end red wine and juice¡­ It was simply a heavenly enjoyment. ¡­ Unknowingly, the sky gradually darkened. ¡°There¡¯s going to be a bonfire party on food island soon,¡± a man said. ¡°Let¡¯s go and have some fun.¡± ¡°Oh!¡± the woman said. ¡°Bonfire party, that¡¯s my favorite!¡± Thus, the two of them held hands and took a seaplane to the island not far away. Many people heard their conversation. Lin Fan saw that Chu Yunyue seemed to be interested, so he said, ¡°I¡¯m a little hungry. Let¡¯s go to the food island too.¡± How could Chu Yunyue not understand that Lin Fan was taking care of her? A sweet smile appeared on her pretty face. She held Lin Fan¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Okay.¡± Therefore, everyone took a luxury seaplane and arrived at the food island. Lin Fan looked into the distance. It was still early, and the bonfire party had not started yet. He then brought everyone to the restaurant LE1947. The decorations here were very fashionable and elegant, giving off a noble aura. Just as Lin Fan and the rest sat down, a tall and thin waiter walked over slowly and said respectfully in English, ¡°Do you need any help?¡± Lin Fan said directly, ¡°Give me whatever¡¯s delicious and your signatures. Just order according to the number of people here.¡± When the tall and thin waiter heard this, he said in Chinese, Alright, distinguished guests, please wait a moment.¡± Even the waiters here had to be proficient in multiple languages. The Chinese language was obviously one of them. Not long after, top-grade foie gras, snails, M9 beef, black pearl caviar, top-grade big abalone, deep-sea sea urchin, heart-shaped eggs, bread crabs, big lobsters¡­ as well as exquisite desserts and pastries were served. Even though everyone was busy at the spa island, they ate whenever they were hungry. However, after seeing these delicacies, they could not help but eat in large mouthfuls, their faces filled with satisfaction. From time to time, they would let out a heartfelt sigh of praise. ¡°It¡¯s so delicious!¡± At this moment, an employee wearing pink glasses accidentally dropped a cup on the ground and broke it into pieces. She had done something wrong and should face her mistake. She quickly lowered her head to clean up the glass shards on the ground. ¡°Don¡¯t pick them up with your hands. Be careful not to cut your fingers,¡± said Chu Yunyue. As she spoke, she waved her hand into the distance and said, ¡°Please help her deal with it.¡± The waiter walked over and took a deep look at the cup on the ground. He said, ¡°Alright.¡± His movements were also very fast. He put on gloves and quickly cleaned up all the fragments. Thus, everyone buried their heads in eating again. When they were done, the waiter walked over again and asked, ¡°Is there anything else you need?¡± ¡°No,¡± said Lin Fan. ¡°Okay, it¡¯s a total of 142,000 USD. Would you like to pay by card or cash?¡± the waiter said. When Lin Fan heard this, he did not have any reaction. However, all the employees of Flower Stem widened their eyes. 142,000 USD! If converted to Chinese currency, that would be close to one million yuan! One million yuan for one meal! This was indeed a little expensive. The waiter seemed to have noticed their disbelief, so he explained, ¡°The dishes and wine you ordered add up to a total of 12,000 dollars. ¡°However, the cup that you broke was a treasured cup from 1990 in Austria. If you break one, the entire set will be invalid. ¡°And that set costs 120,000 USD.¡± Everyone looked at each other. The eyes of the woman with pink glasses who had broken the cup were red. She had accidentally broken something worth nearly one million yuan? Lin Fan said, ¡°Don¡¯t be sad. It¡¯s just a small matter.¡± For many people, one million was a very large number. However, it was nothing to Lin Fan. Moreover, he was the biggest shareholder of the Whitehorse Manor. Smashing things? Even if they tore this place down, there would be no problem. The waiter was worried that everyone would think that he was blackmailing them, so he said, ¡°We have the appraisal certificate here¡­¡± As he spoke, he seemed to be ready to take out the certificate. At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang urgently. Initially, the waiter was not prepared to answer the call. After all, he still had to deal with the matter in front of him. However, when the waiter saw the caller ID, his heart skipped a beat. That was because¡­ he realized that the caller was Chairman Grians. Although the waiter was the lowest level employee of the Whitehorse Manor, he still saved all the phone numbers of the higher-ups. However, the waiter never thought that Chairman Grians would call him one day. This was simply¡­ unbelievable! He pressed the answer button excitedly and said in an excited tone, ¡°Hello, Mr. Chairman.¡± Then, Grians¡¯ loud voice came from the phone. ¡°Listen, the young man sitting in front of you is the new boss of our Whitehorse Manor¡­¡± After hanging up the phone, the waiter bent down and said in a very respectful tone, ¡°Mr. Lin and distinguished guests, I¡¯m sorry to have disturbed you¡­Do you need anything else?¡± Chapter 483 - 483 I Am the Largest Stockholder; Meeting Huo Qilong Again! 483 I Am the Largest Stockholder; Meeting Huo Qilong Again! How smart was Lin Fan? The waiter¡¯s attitude had changed so much. How could he not understand who had called just now? Lin Fan waved his hand. ¡°No, it¡¯s alright. We can go now, right?¡± ¡°Of course,¡± the waiter hurriedly said. ¡°Take care, distinguished guests.¡± The outstanding employees of Flower Stem finally realized what was going on after they walked out of the restaurant. ¡°He¡­ He¡¯s letting us go?¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Yeah.¡± Then, he saw that the woman in pink glasses seemed to be a little worried. ¡°I forgot to tell you that I¡¯m the biggest shareholder of the Whitehorse Manor. It¡¯s just a cup, and the price is not worth much.¡± Therefore, everyone did not need to worry about it. Except for Chu Yunyue, everyone¡¯s mouth was wide open, and they were stunned on the spot. The biggest shareholder of the Whitehorse Manor, which was known as the number one resort in the Maldives, was Lin Fan! Lin Fan paused and said, ¡°Oh right, Grians, the white man who picked us up from the airport yesterday, is the chairman of the Whitehorse Manor. If you need anything, you can call him directly.¡± Now that he had made public his relationship with the Whitehorse Manor, he did not mind saying more. In order to prevent anything from happening again, he would be able to deal with it in time. When everyone heard this, they were stunned again. One had to know¡­ Grians had been bowing and scraping when he picked them up, just like an ordinary waiter. In the end, he turned out to be the chairman of the Whitehorse Manor? ¡­ Lin Fan ignored the shocked crowd. He held Chu Yunyue¡¯s slender hand and continued walking forward. Li Rujing, who was walking behind, could not help but whisper, ¡°Who exactly is Mr. Lin?¡± No wonder she would ask such a question. Lin Fan¡¯s performance was simply too shocking. ¡°Do you still remember the Xia Airlines plane we took?¡± Yang Changlin asked. Li Rujing nodded. ¡°Mr. Lin is also the largest shareholder of Xia Airlines,¡± Yang Changlin said. Li Rujing was stunned again. Xia Airlines! That was the largest state-owned airline! Earlier, Li Rujing thought that the stewardesses were so respectful to Lin Fan because he booked the plane. Now, it seemed that this was not the case at all. The real reason was that Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder of Xia Airlines, the real boss! Yang Changlin gently patted Li Rujing¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°It¡¯s your good fortune that Mr. Lin thinks highly of you. Work hard and your future will definitely be bright!¡± Only then did Li Rujing come back to her senses. She nodded vigorously and said, ¡°Yes!¡± ¡­ Lin Fan led the group on the soft sand, moving forward. They saw¡­ A large bonfire had already been lit in the open space far away. A group of people sat on the ground in front of the bonfire and chatted with each other. Some were singing and dancing around the bonfire. It was very joyous. Lin Fan, Chu Yunyue, Yang Changlin, Li Rujing, and the other outstanding employees of Flower Stem were also affected by the atmosphere. They felt even more relaxed and carefree. Not long after they arrived at the bonfire party, a fashionable man in a colorful shirt and sunglasses walked over. It was Huo Qilong whom they had met at the airport yesterday. Huo Qilong scanned the scene with his squinty eyes. He looked like a hungry wolf looking for prey. Looking for prey? That was right! He was looking for prey. However, most hungry wolves were looking for sheep. He was looking for beautiful women! The next moment, Huo Qilong raised his eyebrows. He had discovered Chu Yunyue! Ever since he saw Chu Yunyue at the airport yesterday¡­ Huo Qilong¡¯s head seemed to be completely filled with her. As a result, he tossed and turned the entire night and could not fall asleep. He did not expect to meet her again today! Indeed, the heavens were looking out for him! However, his gaze soon fell on Lin Fan, who was beside Chu Yunyue. Huo Qilong knew that if he walked over directly, it would be the same as yesterday. There would be no effect at all. He had to do something to attract the other party¡¯s attention. It would be best if he made her eyes light up! Only in this way could he leave a trace of an impression in the other party¡¯s heart! It had to be said that Huo Qilong did have some ability to get a girlfriend. As he pondered, he kept looking around¡­ Soon, his eyes focused on a piano not far away. One had to know¡­ Huo Qilong had received a good education since he was young. He knew how to play the piano and guitar, how to paint, and how to play chess. Among all the skills, he was the most talented in piano. In fact, he was often praised by the teachers. The corner of Huo Qilong¡¯s mouth curled up slightly. He grinned and said, ¡°I got it!¡± As he spoke, he quickly walked toward the piano and slowly sat down. Then, Huo Qilong took a deep breath. His hands began to dance rapidly on the black and white keys. In an instant¡­ A melodious piano tune slowly rippled out. Soon, it attracted the attention of many people at the bonfire party. Some of them even swayed to the rhythm of the piano music and started discussing. ¡°It¡¯s Moonlight Modifications!¡± ¡°Not bad!¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± ¡­ When the piano song was about to end, one of the staff of Flower Stem looked over and said in surprise, ¡°It¡¯s that person!¡± When Chu Yunyue heard it, she looked over curiously. It was also at this moment that the piano piece came to an end. There was a burst of sparse applause. Huo Qilong raised his head with a smile. When he saw that Chu Yunyue was also looking at him, the smile on his face widened. His choice was indeed correct! He had definitely left a good impression on her! As Huo Qilong thought of this, he slowly walked toward Chu Yunyue under the gaze of everyone. Then, like a gentleman, he smiled and said, ¡°Beautiful lady, what a coincidence. We meet again.¡± He was dressed in a ruffian manner, but he forced himself to act like a gentleman¡­ It gave off a nondescript feeling. However, Huo Qilong still felt good about himself. At this moment, he seemed to have noticed Lin Fan standing at the side and said, ¡°Oh, Sir, you¡¯re here too. ¡°I can see that this beauty seems to like piano music very much. I suggest that you play more piano music for her when you have time. This way, she can always maintain a good mood.¡± It had to be said that Huo Qilong was definitely not without brains. On the contrary, he was very smart. He did not goad Lin Fan into playing the piano like most people would. Instead, he suggested that Lin Fan play the piano for his woman when he was free. This way, his provocation was not abrupt. At the same time, he thought that he made a mark on Chu Yunyue¡¯s heart. Chapter 484 - 484 Playing; Feeling Ashamed! 484 Playing; Feeling Ashamed! The first step, which was to leave an impression, had been achieved! Huo Qilong began to formulate the second step of his plan in his mind to deepen her impression of him. Soon, he had an idea. He was about to speak. ¡°Yunyue, do you like to listen to piano music?¡± Lin Fan asked. Chu Yunyue seemed to have thought of something and nodded with a smile. Lin Fan said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll play the piano for you.¡± After saying that, he walked straight to the piano not far away. When Huo Qilong saw this, he was stunned for a moment. Then, a smile appeared on his face as if he was watching a good show. At first, he only wanted to leave an impression in Chu Yunyue¡¯s heart. Who would have thought that Lin Fan would really go play the piano? He could almost see Lin Fan being a mess and getting laughed at. At that time, he would definitely occupy an even more important position in Chu Yunyue¡¯s heart. As for the fact that Lin Fan¡¯s playing was better than his, Huo Qilong did not even consider it. He had won an award for playing the piano back then. Besides, the crowd had given him warm applause and Chu Yunyue had even stared at him when he played the piano. Huo Qilong smiled and said to Chu Yunyue, ¡°So, your name is Yunyue. What a nice name. ¡°Look at me, I haven¡¯t introduced myself to you yet. I¡¯m Huo Qilong. Nice to meet you.¡± After saying that, he took the initiative to extend his right hand. However, Chu Yunyue acted as if she did not see it. She just stared at Lin Fan with her beautiful eyes, her face full of anticipation. She had heard Lin Fan sing before and knew that he had great musical ability. She believed that Lin Fan would definitely be able to play a beautiful piece of music. This was something he was specially playing for her! ¡­ Finally, Lin Fan sat in front of the piano. A wave of discussion broke out around them. ¡°Huh? Someone wants to play the piano again.¡± ¡°I wonder what song he¡¯ll play.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s hear it.¡± ¡­ Lin Fan did not care about Huo Qilong¡¯s thoughts at all, nor did he care about the discussions of the crowd. He slowly closed his eyes and placed his hands on the black and white keys. Instantly¡­ The rapid, light, and gentle notes rippled. The people who were still laughing, discussing, and chatting all stopped what they were doing and focused their attention. They all swayed along with the music. Even though the spot where Lin Fan was was rather dark, in everyone¡¯s eyes, it was as if a dazzling stage light had appeared above his head. It illuminated him to the point of being incomparably gorgeous. As the notes continued to play, Lin Fan¡¯s body seemed to emit starlight. More and more starlight appeared¡­ It circled around Lin Fan. In the end, it formed a strong traction force that carried Lin Fan and the piano into the air. When it reached the night sky, the starlight condensed into a crescent moon, emitting an even more dazzling light. Gorgeous and charming! Everyone had expressions of admiration and enjoyment that were difficult to hide. Finally, the last note fell. The entire bonfire party was still silent. After a long time, there was extremely enthusiastic applause. ¡°The melody was so good!¡± ¡°That¡¯s Moonlight.¡± ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve heard such a beautiful rendition of Moonlight!¡± ¡°It¡¯s even better than symphonies.¡± Exclamations, shouts, and screams echoed throughout the entire venue. Lin Fan did not care too much about it. He left the piano and strolled to Chu Yunyue, who had been staring at him without blinking. Then, he slowly held her slender and fair hand. Under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, Lin Fan¡¯s head kept getting closer and closer to Chu Yunyue. Their lips met. Suddenly, a stage light appeared in the sky and fell on Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue. Dazzling! This talented man matched this beautiful woman perfectly! Once again, the place erupted with extremely enthusiastic cheers and shouts. In fact, when Chu Yunyue arrived at the bonfire party, it was not only Huo Qilong who noticed her. There were also many men who thought they were qualified enough to woo her. Chu Yunyue was simply too beautiful. However, at this moment, they threw this thought aside. They knew that they could not win against Lin Fan. In other words, they felt ashamed in front of Lin Fan. ¡­ After a long time, their lips parted. Lin Fan turned around slowly and looked at Huo Qilong. ¡°You¡¯re right. I have to play the piano more for Yunyue in the future.¡± Huo Qilong¡¯s face turned red. Originally, he wanted to use the piano to step on Lin Fan and at the same time get closer to Chu Yunyue. Now, he had made Lin Fan into a star. He had shot himself in the foot! It hurt! It hurt! Huo Qilong grunted in response, then turned around and walked away. At this moment, loud music sounded at the bonfire party. A group of quick-witted staff members led the crowd to sing and dance, making the atmosphere even more lively. In addition, there were some programs that had been prepared long ago, various interesting games, as well as drinks and barbecued meat that could be ordered at any time¡­ Everyone was having a great time. When Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue returned to the luxury island, it was already midnight. Perhaps she was too tired from playing, Chu Yunyue accidentally fell into the spacious and clear swimming pool in front of the villa. Since she had already fallen into the swimming pool, she might as well enjoy her time in it. She kept splashing water on Lin Fan and laughed. Lin Fan chuckled. ¡°You¡¯re even messing around with me!¡± After saying that, Lin Fan jumped into the swimming pool. ¡°Ah!¡± Thus, the two of them began to chase each other in the swimming pool. Laughter and shouts rose and fell. The two of them played in the swimming pool for about half an hour before they slowly got up. After all, the swimming pool was a little cold at night. After washing up, an alluring fragrance gradually filled the air. When Chu Yunyue came out of the bathroom wrapped in an LV towel, her beautiful eyes fell on Lin Fan. In her mind, she could not help but recall Lin Fan¡¯s elegant and serious movements when he played the piano. Perhaps it was because she had just walked out of the bathroom, a blush gradually appeared on her pretty face. Then, Chu Yunyue could not help but slowly approach Lin Fan. Under the illumination of the light, the two shadows finally merged together. ¡­ At this moment, the TV in the living room suddenly started playing a song. The sea breeze gently blew, and the waves gently swayed¡­ Chapter 485 - 485 Sea Fishing; Its Her! 485 Sea Fishing; It¡¯s Her! For the next two days, Lin Fan, Chu Yunyue, and the other employees of Flower Stem led similar lives every day. They would go to the sports island in the morning, have lunch at LEE1947, a three-star Michelin restaurant, have a massage on the spa island in the afternoon, and play on the beach or attend a bonfire party at night¡­ Although they repeated the same routine, everyone still had blissful smiles on their faces. However, Grians was worried that Lin Fan would not be satisfied. Therefore, he spent a lot of effort to get a large yacht from somewhere else. ¡­ After Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue woke up and ate breakfast, Grians bowed like the most respectful waiter and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, Ms. Chu, good morning.¡± Lin Fan was quite satisfied with Grians. From the initial pick-up to the daily service after arriving at the Whitehorse Manor, to how he dealt with Qin Changcun¡­ he performed very well. Therefore, Lin Fan nodded in response to Grianth¡¯s greeting, ¡°Good morning, Grians.¡± Although it was just a simple greeting, it sounded like heavenly music to Grians¡¯ ears, making him excited. This meant that Lin Fan was satisfied with him. Grians suppressed his joy and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯ve brought in an MJ yacht from another place. I wonder if you and Ms. Chu want to take it out to sea?¡± Lin Fan could not help but look at Grians. One had to know¡­ Lin Fan also owned a top-grade yacht, Solange, which was still docked at the port of Modu. It was because of this that he had specially searched for information about yachts. Even though an MJ yacht was not as luxurious as Solange, its price exceeded 100 million yuan. With Grians¡¯ status, it would probably take some effort to bring over such a large yacht. Grians was really thoughtful! Lin Fan nodded and asked, ¡°Yunyue and the rest¡­ Do you want to go on a yacht to play at sea?¡± In fact, when Grians said that he had brought over a yacht, everyone was shocked. Yang Changlin, Li Rujing, and all the employees of Flower Stem were tempted. Now, hearing Lin Fan¡¯s question, their eyes lit up. This was because taking a yacht to play out on the sea was a scene that only appeared in movies and television dramas. At the same time, it was something that all of them had been yearning for. However, no one responded. Chu Yunyue looked at the crowd, but they did not dare to speak. She could not help but smile and say, ¡°Look at you guys¡­ Let¡¯s go on the yacht, then.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± everyone shouted excitedly. After a while, an extremely fashionable and cool 50-meter-long yacht appeared in everyone¡¯s sight. This¡­ It was an MJ yacht! Flower Stem¡¯s staff members could not help but open their mouths and exclaim. ¡°Wow! This is too big!¡± ¡°So handsome!¡± ¡°So cool!¡± However, what they did not know was that Lin Fan¡¯s Solange which was docked at the Modu pier was much bigger than MJ and was twice as big! ¡­ The tourists who were relaxing on the reclining chairs in the Whitehorse Manor also raised their heads and looked over curiously. ¡­ Lin Fan said, ¡°Then let¡¯s go up.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± everyone hurriedly responded. After boarding the yacht, everyone¡¯s jaws dropped again. A wide deck, a gorgeous restaurant, an exquisite private room, a bar with all kinds of drinks, and a video room¡­ It was as if they had arrived at a mobile club on the sea. As MJ¡¯s yacht let out a soft hum, everyone felt a gust of wind blow over. Then, it continued to move forward toward the endless sea. Instantly, an unprecedented sense of satisfaction filled everyone¡¯s hearts. Laughter and shouts rang out endlessly. MJ cruised at high speed for more than an hour before slowing down. ¡°There are fishing rods here!¡± Yang Changlin said excitedly. Hence, everyone stepped forward and picked one up. Those who liked fishing were naturally enthusiastic. Those who did not also became interested. After all, this was a rare sea fishing. Chu Yunyue smiled. ¡°We can eat fresh fish for lunch today.¡± After a while, Yang Changlin had a fish on the hook. He suddenly pulled, and it turned out to be a ribbonfish the length of an arm. Seeing this, everyone shouted excitedly. ¡°I¡¯ll help roast the fish!¡± Then, someone brought over a barbecue rack, cooking oil, and other things. On the deck, they began to grill the fish. ¡­ When the employees of Flower Stem were fishing on the MJ yacht, there was another large luxury yacht on the sea. A group of men with extraordinary temperaments and branded clothes were drinking and laughing with a group of beautiful women on the deck. Huo Qilong was among them. ¡°Speaking of beauties, I met a beauty at the Whitehorse Manor two days ago. That figure, that face, that skin¡­¡± She¡¯s simply gorgeous! ¡± A fairy! She¡¯s definitely a fairy!¡± Obviously, he was talking about Chu Yunyue. A man in a striped shirt and dyed light red hair said, ¡°Is that so? Is she as divine as you say?¡± A man wearing sunglasses asked, ¡°Are you being for real?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Huo Qilong said seriously. ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you bring her over?¡± a man with an ear stud said. Huo Qilong poured the XO into his mouth and said, ¡°She has a boyfriend.¡± Even though they were all accompanied by beautiful women, they were still talking about other women. The beauties beside them did not seem to care. This was the charm of the Maldives. ¡°She has a boyfriend?¡± The man in sunglasses laughed. ¡°It¡¯s because I wasn¡¯t the one who met her. Otherwise, I would¡¯ve easily won her over!¡± ¡°Of course, I can win her over,¡± Huo Qilong retorted. ¡°Aren¡¯t we here to gather and have fun? I don¡¯t have enough time.¡± The man with an ear stud also took a sip of his drink and said, ¡°I¡¯m already a little interested in this beauty.¡± ¡°Hahaha, I¡¯m interested too! I¡¯ll go to the Whitehorse Manor tomorrow and see if I can meet her,¡± the man in sunglasses said. ¡°Not bad, I¡¯ll go take a look too,¡± the man with an ear stud said. ¡­ ¡°I caught a fish too!¡± Not far away, there was a sudden shout. Huo Qilong, the man wearing sunglasses, the man with an ear stud, and the others all looked in the direction of the voice. Only then did they realize that a large yacht had appeared not far away. This was the MJ yacht that Lin Fan and the others were on. In the next moment¡­ Huo Qilong stood up abruptly, his eyes fixed on the woman in the white dress. He shouted, ¡°It¡¯s her!¡± She was Chu Yunyue! Chapter 486 - 486 Slap Yourself; Greetings, Mr. Lin! 486 Slap Yourself; Greetings, Mr. Lin! The red-haired man beside him muttered, ¡°A MJ yacht? This seems to be William¡¯s family¡¯s ship, right?¡± The man with an ear stud, the man in sunglasses, and the others all looked at Huo Qilong in confusion when they saw his surprise. ¡°Why, do you know him?¡± ¡°Who is it? Why are you so surprised?¡± Huo Qilong raised his finger and said, ¡°The one in the white dress is the beauty I was talking about.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± When everyone heard this, they could not help but cast curious gazes in the direction Huo Qilong was pointing. Huo Qilong had praised her too much just now. Soon, the eyes of the man with an ear stud, the man in sunglasses, the man with light red hair, and the others lit up. Snow-white skin, a voluptuous figure, an exquisite face¡­ Under the illumination of the sun, her body seemed to be shining with silver light. Beautiful! She was so beautiful! The man with an ear stud shouted excitedly, ¡°Beauty, come over and have a drink!¡± As he spoke, he deliberately waved the Lafite in his hand. The man wearing the sunglasses raised his watch and waved at Chu Yunyue. ¡°Beauty, let¡¯s be friends.¡± The man with light red hair shouted, ¡°Beauty, do you like yachts too? Our yacht, Hero, is bigger, more luxurious, and more comfortable. Do you want to come up and play?¡± While the three of them were shouting greetings, they also casually showed off their wine, watch, and yacht. ¡°How is it? Pretty, isn¡¯t it?¡± The man in sunglasses, the man with an ear stud, the man with light red hair, and the others nodded. When Lin Fan heard the voices, he turned around. When he saw that it was Huo Qilong and the others, he raised his eyebrows slightly. The first time that Huo Qilong had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with Chu Yunyue, Lin Fan ignored him. The second time, Lin Fan ignored him as well. This was the third time. Moreover, from what he said, it seemed like he was showing off Chu Yunyue like an object. Huo Qilong and his friends kept teasing Chu Yunyue in front of him. This made Lin Fan furious. It seemed that sometimes¡­ one could not be too kind. Lin Fan said coldly, ¡°All of you kneel down and slap yourself ten times. Do that and I can consider not taking your words to heart.¡± The man with an ear stud, the man in sunglasses, the man with light red hair, and Huo Qilong were stunned. Then, as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world, they all burst into laughter. ¡°Hahaha! What did I hear?¡± ¡°You want us to kneel down and slap ourselves ten times? And then you¡¯ll consider not making a fuss about what we just said?¡± ¡­ One had to know¡­ Which of their families did not have a huge amount of wealth and power? Ever since they were young, they were the only ones who threatened and bullied others. They had never been bullied or threatened before. It was no wonder that they would laugh so loudly. What if Lin Fan had shown off his power the moment he appeared? Perhaps, the man with the ear stud and the others would not be so unscrupulous. However, Lin Fan was only on a medium-sized MJ yacht. The medium-sized MJ yacht, which cost more than 100 million yuan, was considered acceptable. However, in their eyes, it was not enough. Furthermore, the red-haired man had just pointed out that this MJ yacht belonged to the William family. William¡¯s family was in the yacht and car rental business. This meant¡­ the other party did not even have a yacht worth more than 100 million yuan. With such little strength, he still dared to threaten them? What a joke! After a while, the men stopped laughing and shouted, ¡°Kid, I¡¯ll return the words you just said! Now, kneel down and slap yourself ten times! I can consider ignoring what you said just now!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± the man in sunglasses shouted. ¡°Ten slaps?¡± the man with light red hair asked. ¡°No! 100 slaps!¡± ¡°Kneel down and slap yourself a hundred times!¡± Everyone kept shouting. ¡­ At this moment. Not far away on the sea, on a large yacht. Several middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes were sipping champagne and chatting softly. They looked very relaxed. A man wearing silver-rimmed glasses said, ¡°When it comes to educating children, sometimes you can¡¯t force them too hard. ¡°My son used to like to play games. Later, he borrowed 500 million yuan from me and started a gaming team. ¡°I thought that all this money was going down the drain. In the end, his gaming team won the championship last year, which directly increased the value of the team by several times.¡± The man with the buzz cut nodded and said, ¡°I agree. My son likes to watch live broadcasts and tips those internet celebrities tens of millions every day. ¡°I thought that I had given birth to a prodigal son. ¡°In the end, this kid actually used the money from the tips to establish a good relationship with the internet celebrities. Later on, he opened his own live-streaming platform and is now preparing to go public.¡± The man with a cigar in his mouth touched his chin and said, ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s not a bad thing that my son likes to pick up girls?¡± ¡°Yeah, maybe one day he¡¯ll set up a modeling company or a film company!¡± the man with a buzz cut said. ¡°Hahaha! In that case, I can look forward to it a little.¡± The man with the crew cut laughed. Everyone was discussing their sons, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. At this moment, the man with a buzz cut looked at the man wearing gold-rimmed glasses beside him and said in a fawning tone, ¡°Mr. He, I heard that you went to Hua Nation with the chairman of Jiawen Group, Mr. Herrs, the chairman of Datong Group, Mr. Li Jiawei, and the chairmen of many other giant companies?¡± As soon as he said that, the man with the crew cut, the man with the silver-rimmed glasses, and everyone else looked at him curiously. Obviously, they were very curious. The image of a young man gradually appeared in Mr. He¡¯s mind. It was Lin Fan! Thinking of Lin Fan, a hint of respect appeared on Mr. He¡¯s face. He slowly raised his head and was about to say something. The next moment, Mr. He¡¯s pupils constricted slightly as he stood up abruptly. That was because he saw two yachts not far away. Lin Fan was standing on one of the yachts! He was the current sect master of the Qing Hong Sect! Mr. He bowed and called out in a very respectful tone, ¡°Greetings, Mr. Lin.¡± When the man with a crew cut, the man in silver-framed glasses, the man with a buzz cut, the man smoking a cigar, and the others heard this, their hearts skipped a beat. They could not help but look in the direction of Mr. He¡¯s shout. They saw a young man in his 20s, and their hearts skipped a beat. One had to know¡­ Mr. He was the chairman of Rising Sun Group. He was an existence that they would try their best to please! Rising Sun Group was one of the top 500 companies in the world! However, Mr. He actually bowed to a young man and greeted him in such a respectful tone? Who was this young man?! Chapter 487 - 487 Punishment; Apologize! 487 Punishment; Apologize! In the eyes of the public, Mr. He was the leader of Rising Sun Group, Herrs was the leader of Jiawen Group, and Li Jiawei was the leader of Datong Group. Even if these people just stomped their feet, some countries or even the entire world might even be shaken. They possessed extremely terrifying energy. However, only Mr. He and Mr. Heers, and Mr. Li understood that everything they had was given to them by the Qing Hong Sect. At the same time, it could be easily taken away! Lin Fan was the current leader of the Qing Hong Sect, so how could Mr. He not respect him? Although the man with the crew cut, the man with silver-rimmed glasses, the man with a buzz cut, the man smoking a cigar, and the others still did not understand Lin Fan¡¯s identity, they followed suit and said respectfully, ¡°Greetings, Mr. Lin.¡± After all, he was someone who even Chairman He of Rising Sun Group had to treat respectfully. How could they, the leaders of small forces, dare to be disrespectful? Lin Fan turned his head and glanced at Mr. He and the others. He did not take it to heart. Huo Qilong, the man with an ear stud, the man with light red hair, and the man in sunglasses standing on the luxury yacht shouted at the men on the large yacht. ¡°Dad!¡± ¡°Dad!¡± ¡°Dad, what¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Dad!¡± The older men slowly turned around. Only then did they realize that their sons were actually on the yacht beside theirs! That was right! Huo Qilong, the man with light red hair, the man with an ear stud, and the man wearing sunglasses were their sons! Their minds began to work. The yacht their sons were on was so close to Lin Fan¡¯s yacht. Could it be¡­ Did they know each other? Thinking of this, the man with a crew cut was the first to speak. ¡°Mr. Lin, I didn¡¯t expect you to know my son. This is really surprising.¡± ¡°It¡¯s my son¡¯s honor to know you,¡± said the man wearing silver-rimmed glasses. ¡°And my son¡­ Could it be that you¡¯re also interested in games, Mr. Lin?¡± Everyone spoke up, wanting to use their son to get closer to Lin Fan. After all, Lin Fan was someone that even Mr. He had to treat with respect. Lin Fan glanced at everyone and asked, ¡°Them? I guess you can say that we know each other. ¡°After all, they were all teasing my girlfriend just now. Then, they asked me to kneel on the ground and slap myself 100 times.¡± The hearts of the older men began to beat wildly. Their sons had teased the girlfriend of a young man that even Mr. he had to treat with respect? Then, they asked him to kneel on the ground and slap himself 100 times? This¡­ They slowly turned their heads like machines. Mr. He was staring at them with a pair of extremely cold eyes. They were so frightened that they could not help but shiver. ¡°From now on, Rising Sun Group will not cooperate with all of you here!¡± Mr. He said coldly. ¡°I will even spare no effort to make you suffer the greatest punishment!¡± The faces of the older men turned pale. Almost half of their company¡¯s business came from Rising Sun Group. Once they were abandoned by Rising Sun Group, the consequences¡­ Moreover, they would be punished by Rising Sun Group. They could almost imagine¡­ how miserable they would be in the future. The man with the crew cut was the first to react. He shouted at his son, the man with light red hair, ¡°Bastard, kneel down and apologize to Mr. Lin!¡± ¡°Dad, I¡­¡± the red-haired man stuttered. Seeing that his son did not apologize immediately, the man with the crew cut was furious again. ¡°Damn it!¡± He shouted at the captain of the yacht, ¡°Please go to the yacht over there!¡± The man smoking a cigar, the man wearing silver-rimmed glasses, the man with the buzz cut, and the others also shouted. ¡°Quickly apologize to Mr. Lin!¡± ¡°Apologize!¡± Then, they jumped onto the deck of the luxury yacht and walked angrily toward their sons. All of them slapped their sons¡¯ faces. They did not dare to hold back at all. Moreover, they continued to slap. These slaps stunned the young men. Soon, their faces became red and swollen. The fathers all secretly looked at Lin Fan. However, they saw that Lin Fan had no intention of stopping them. Therefore, they shouted at their sons again. ¡°Kneel down!¡± ¡°Unfilial son, kneel down!¡± ¡°Kneel down and apologize!¡± ¡°Hurry!¡± Huo Qilong, the man with an ear stud, the man with the light red hair, the man wearing sunglasses, and the rest now knew that Lin Fan had a powerful background. He was definitely someone they could not afford to offend. Therefore, they all knelt on the ground and stammered, ¡°Yes¡­ I¡¯m sorry, I must¡¯ve been possessed just now¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, please don¡¯t take offense¡­¡± ¡°Please spare us¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Lin Fan said indifferently, ¡°Do you still remember what I just said?¡± The young men suddenly remembered. ¡°All of you kneel down and slap yourself ten times. Do that and I¡¯ll consider not taking your words to heart.¡¯ Although the faces of Huo Qilong and the others were already red and swollen, they did not hesitate and raised their hands to slap themselves. Loud slaps echoed. Soon, the ten slaps were over. However, Lin Fan did not say anything. Thus, Huo Qilong and the others did not dare to stop. As time passed, Huo Qilong and the others had already started to bleed from the corners of their mouths, and their faces were slowly turning into pig heads. Their fathers felt their hearts ache at this scene. After all, they were their sons. However, they did not dare to open their mouths. After Huo Qilong and the others slapped themselves 100 times, Lin Fan finally opened his mouth and said, ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Fan¡¯s thoughts were very simple. At first, he only asked them to slap themselves 10 times. However, they wanted to slap themselves 100 times. Since that was the case, he would grant their wish! At this moment, the faces of Huo Qilong and the others were completely swollen. Lin Fan continued, ¡°I don¡¯t want something like this to happen again.¡± The older men hurriedly said, ¡°It won¡¯t happen. We promise that such a thing will never happen again.¡± Lin Fan did not care much about it. He nodded at Mr. He as a form of greeting. Then, he said to the captain of the MJ Yacht, ¡°Set sail!¡± After a loud rumble, the yacht started to move. Chapter 488 - 488 Return; Chance Encounter! 488 Return; Chance Encounter! After traveling for about an hour, the MJ yacht slowly stopped at Lin Fan¡¯s request. The staff of Flower Stem looked at each other and picked up their fishing rods again. However, the atmosphere at the scene was not as lively as it was at the beginning. Chu Yunyue did not have many other thoughts. On the contrary, her eyes that were looking at Lin Fan shone even brighter. Chu Yunyue had seen Lin Fan when he was focused on making perfume, and she had seen Lin Fan when he was singing¡­ However, she had never seen such a scene today. One sentence made everyone¡¯s mouth twitch. Domineering! ¡°Lin Fan, who were those people just now?¡± Chu Yunyue asked gently after a while. Lin Fan shook his head and said, ¡°I only know that the man with the gold-rimmed glasses is called He Xiong. He¡¯s the chairman of Rising Sun Group.¡± ¡°Rising Sun Group?¡± Chu Yunyue was slightly shocked. ¡°The world¡¯s top 500¡­¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± Silence! The entire MJ yacht was silent! They all knew that Lin Fan had a lot of assets and a lot of wealth. He was the largest shareholder of Xia Airlines, the largest shareholder of the Whitehorse Manor, and so on. Even so, they were still shocked by Lin Fan¡¯s words. That was the chairman of Rising Sun Group! Its market value was close to a trillion! In the end, the chairman had to bow and greet Lin Fan. Lin Fan did not care much. He looked at the grilled fish on the grill and said, ¡°The fish is cooked.¡± Then, the outstanding employees of Flower Stem gathered around. Lin Fan picked up a glass of wine and said, ¡°I wish us a happy trip to the Maldives. Cheers!¡± ¡°Thank you, Mr. Lin. Cheers!¡± Flower Stem¡¯s employees raised their glasses. After a glass of wine, the atmosphere became lively again. Lin Fan, Chu Yunyue, and the employees of Flower Stem spent a few more days at the Whitehorse Manor before they were sent off by Grians¡¯ Rolls-Royce motorcade and boarded the private plane back. When Lin Fan arrived at Jiangbei, it was already afternoon. When Lin Fan drove the Cullinan past Xinyang Road, a beautiful figure caught his attention. Peach blossom eyes, willowy eyebrows, cherry lips, and a full figure¡­ If it was not Su Ningjing, who could it be? Speaking of which, he had not seen her for a long time. Lin Fan turned the steering wheel and parked the Cullinan in a parking space by the roadside. Then, he strode toward her. Lin Fan was just about to open his mouth to greet her when Su Ningjing seemed to have sensed something and slowly turned her head. In the next moment¡­ Her beautiful face was like a blooming flower, extremely brilliant. ¡°Lin Fan!¡± A beautiful voice immediately came out of her cherry mouth. ¡°Did you just go grocery shopping?¡± Lin Fan looked at the groceries in her hands and asked. As he spoke, he reached out to help carry the groceries. ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Su Ningjing nodded vigorously. However, she stepped aside and said, ¡°The bag is dirty. Let me carry it.¡± Lin Fan took the lead and touched the mud in the bag. He smiled and said, ¡°My hands are already dirty, so it doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Then, without waiting for Su Ningjing to say anything, he took the bag. At this moment, a series of crisp footsteps sounded not far away. A woman with a good figure and a cute bag hanging on her waist as well as a face that looked like a typical internet celebrity¡¯s was holding a man in a white shirt as they walked over from afar. When the woman saw Su Ningjing, her expression changed slightly as she said, ¡°Huh, Su Ningjing?¡± Su Ningjing heard this and looked over. However, her pretty face revealed a doubtful expression as she asked, ¡°And you are?¡± ¡°What? You don¡¯t know me anymore after graduating?¡± The woman laughed. ¡°I¡¯m Wang Yunfang!¡± Su Ningjing¡¯s pretty face clearly revealed a hint of surprise. She and Wang Yunfang were indeed classmates, university classmates. However, in her memory, Wang Yunfang seemed to have a square face. Why did she have an oval face now? After a while, Su Ningjing said apologetically, ¡°Sorry, I didn¡¯t recognize you just now.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay.¡± Wang Yunfang waved her hand and said, ¡°Su Ningjing, have you been staying in Jiangbei ever since you graduated from university? What are you doing now?¡± Su Ning said quietly, ¡°I worked at Ai Er Housekeeping previously. Now¡­ I stay at home and take care of Grandma and Sister.¡± When Wang Yunfang heard the words ¡®Ai Er,¡¯ she almost laughed out loud. Was that not a cleaning company? ¡®Su Ningjing, weren¡¯t you the prettiest girl in the class? ¡®Weren¡¯t you very popular with our classmates? ¡®What now? ¡®You¡¯re only a cleaner?¡¯ However, Wang Yunfang still replied, ¡°I see.¡± Then, she seemed to have noticed Lin Fan standing beside her. ¡°This is?¡± ¡°I¡¯m Ningjing¡¯s boyfriend, Lin Fan,¡± Lin Fan said. Wang Yunfang could not help but look at Lin Fan. When she saw his tall and handsome appearance, a hint of jealousy flashed across her face. However, when she saw the groceries in Lin Fan¡¯s hands, a look of disdain flashed across her face. She thought to herself, ¡®What¡¯s the use of being handsome? So what if she¡¯s beautiful? One can only haggle in the market, while the other can only be a cleaner!¡¯ Wang Yunfang said, ¡°So you¡¯re Su Ningjing¡¯s boyfriend. Oh right, this is my fiance, Shu Jiadong.¡± Shu Jiadong said, ¡°Hello. Yunfang and I are getting married this Saturday. If you have time, you can come over and join in the celebration.¡± Speaking of this¡­ The smile on Wang Yunfang¡¯s face widened. She said, ¡°Have you heard of the Imperial Hotel? That¡¯s a landmark building in Jiangbei! It¡¯s the most luxurious hotel in Jiangbei! My husband and I are having our wedding at the Imperial Hotel. It¡¯s easy to find! ¡°If you really can¡¯t find it, you can just take a taxi on the road.¡± ¡°Su Ningjing, Lin Fan, you must come over when the time comes!¡± On the surface, she seemed to be talking about the place where she was getting married. In fact, it was to show how luxurious her wedding venue was. She was showing off! Su Ningjing did not reply immediately. Instead, she looked at Lin Fan who was standing at the side. She could go over. However, she did not know if Lin Fan had the time. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Of course! Saturday, right? We¡¯ll be there.¡± When Su Ningjing heard this, the smile on her pretty face became even wider. This meant that she would be able to meet Lin Fan again on Saturday. Therefore, Su Ningjing also said, ¡°We¡¯ll go over.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Wang Yunfang nodded. ¡°Then it¡¯s a deal!¡± At this moment, the phone in her pocket vibrated slightly. She looked at her phone and said, ¡°I still have something to do. I won¡¯t chat with you guys anymore.¡± After saying that, she held Shu Jiadong¡¯s arm and continued walking forward. Chapter 489 - 489 Solved the Function Question; Second Authors! 489 Solved the Function Question; Second Authors! Lin Fan carried the groceries and chatted with Su Ningjing as they walked toward the Washington Palace. Just as he was about to open the door¡­ The big yellow dog that had been lying inside suddenly barked. ¡°Who is it? Who is it?¡± When the door was completely opened and the big yellow dog saw that it was Su Ningjing, it wagged its tail and rushed up quickly. As for Lin Fan, who was standing at the side, it was glaring at him like a tiger eyeing its prey. It kept whining as if it wanted to chase Lin Fan out. ¡°Big Yellow, don¡¯t be fierce to Lin Fan!¡± Su Ningjing scolded.¡± However, Big Yellow did not budge. It continued to bare its teeth at Lin Fan. After all, it did not understand Su Ningjing¡¯s words at all. Lin Fan laughed, ¡°Big Yellow, do you still remember me? I¡¯m your mistress¡¯ boyfriend! I even celebrated your birthday last time!¡± After Big Yellow heard Lin Fan¡¯s words, it stopped baring its teeth. Its entire dog face was a little stunned. That was because it understood Lin Fan¡¯s words completely. Even it found it unbelievable. After a while, Big Yellow finally let out a cry. ¡°You are also a dog?¡± Lin Fan¡¯s lips twitched. He understood that he shouldn¡¯t reason with dogs. Therefore, he simply ignored it. However¡­ Big Yellow barked at Lin Fan again. ¡°Are you really a dog? ¡°Isn¡¯t that so?¡± Lin Fan was speechless. The old lady who was originally in the room slowly walked out when she heard the voice. She said kindly, ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯re here?¡± ¡°Grandma, you look much better recently. You even have a lot more black hair,¡± Lin Fan said. Lin Fan was not just spouting nonsense. He had the Sun Simiao¡¯s Medical Experience. With just a glance, he could observe the condition of the old lady¡¯s body. Now, the old lady¡¯s body was indeed very healthy. ¡°Thanks to the tea leaves you sent me, I always feel very relaxed after drinking them.¡± Obviously, she was talking about Spirit Tea. Then, Lin Fan accompanied Grandma and Su Ningjing. They started chatting. When the sun set, delicious food was served on the table. At this moment, the door was slowly pushed open. Ah Mei walked in with her school bag. She could not help but exclaim, ¡°How fragrant!¡± When she saw Lin Fan, she jogged over and shouted happily, ¡°Brother Lin!¡± As she spoke, she threw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s embrace. After leaving the mountains for a few months, Ah Mei¡¯s skin was much fairer than before. Her pair of big blinking eyes made her look like a lively little fairy. ¡°Sis, go wash your hands first and get ready to eat!¡± Su Ningjing said. ¡°Alright!¡± Ah Mei replied. In the past, whenever Grandma, Su Ningjing, and Sis ate, they always wanted Lin Fan to eat first. However, after Lin Fan¡¯s repeated reminders, they could finally eat together. The four of them enjoyed the meal. Lin Fan stayed in the Washington Palace until 9 PM before driving the Cullinan toward the Coiling Dragon Villa. After taking a cold shower, he lay down on the soft bed and fell asleep comfortably. ¡­ The night passed in the blink of an eye. When Lin Fan opened his eyes, a ray of sunlight had already fallen on the windowsill. He glanced at his phone. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 37,893,200 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, he casually said, ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! You have successfully signed in. Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten million yuan.] Lin Fan chose to ignore all of this. He lay on the bed for a while before getting up to wash up and eat breakfast. Then, he drove the Cullinan to Jiangbei University. Ever since the report on Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis, Lin Fan had been taking leave. Counting the time, it had been a few days. Logically speaking, most of the troublesome professors and reporters should have left. Since that was the case, he naturally went to school. After all, Lin Fan was also a professor at Jiangbei University and had a few students under him. When Lin Fan drove into Jiangbei University, he could still see his own banner. [Congratulations to Professor Lin Fan for successfully solving Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis!] ¡­ Lin Fan merely glanced at it casually and did not take it to heart. Then, he walked straight to the office. At this moment¡­ Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Hao Zhiwu, Jiang Chaoqun, Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, and the others were lying on the table and studying silently. At that moment, Lil White, who was lying on Hao Zhiwu¡¯s shoulder, squinting its eyes as if it was about to fall asleep, let out a loud cry. Then, it jumped down and rubbed against Lin Fan¡¯s feet. ¡°Master, you¡¯re finally here. ¡°I missed you so much. ¡°Master, can you give me something delicious?¡± Lin Fan smiled and patted the cat¡¯s head. He tore open a bag of premium beef cat food and placed it in front of it. Hao Zhiwu felt the weight on his shoulder lighten and immediately realized something. He said excitedly, ¡°Professor Lin, you¡¯re here! The Riemann Hypothesis report you gave in the auditorium was so cool!¡± Lin Fan said strangely, ¡°You guys didn¡¯t go, right?¡± After all, when he entered the venue that day, he deliberately looked at the audience and did not see his students. ¡°We heard about it from many people!¡± Hao Zhiwu said righteously. Then, he picked up another journal and said a little embarrassed, ¡°Professor Lin, if our names are listed as the second authors of Annual Mathematics like this¡­ Isn¡¯t it inappropriate?¡± Even though he said that, his entire face was filled with smiles. One had to know¡­ Annual Mathematics was the top mathematics journal! In this world, how many names could appear here? Not to mention, he was a student in the biology department. This was definitely an honor, a great honor! Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Xu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, Nie Zhenjiang, and the others heard the conversation between the two people. They raised their heads one after another, and their faces were also full of excitement. Lin Fan said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask you guys to solve a function question last time?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Hao Zhiwu nodded. ¡°Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis is also a function problem, so it¡¯s normal for your names to appear as the second author,¡± Lin Fan said. After all, his mission was to get his students to solve math problems, which was how he got the answer to Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis. After Hao Zhiwu heard Lin Fan¡¯s words, he was at a loss. They solved a function problem, and Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis was also a function problem, so their names could appear as the second authors? However, the function question they answered was a very simple one! What did this have to do with Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis? Chapter 490 - 490 Thank You; Set Questions! 490 Thank You; Set Questions! ¡°Thank you, Professor Lin!¡± Hao Zhiwu said seriously. From his point of view, Lin Fan had put down his name as the second author because he wanted to take care of him. Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis was too important. Even as a second author, it would still bring great benefits to him in the future. Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, and Jiang Chaoqun also said, ¡°Thank you, Professor Lin. Lin Fan waved his hand casually and did not explain further. ¡°Are there any unsolvable problems recently?¡± Hao Zhiwu quickly took out a few pieces of draft paper. ¡­ Lin Fan first spent about an hour answering and explaining all the problems that they had encountered. Then, he lay on the executive chair and leisurely played with his phone. At this moment, there was the sound of brisk footsteps outside. Shen Liang, the chancellor of Jiangbei University, and two middle-aged men in white shirts walked in slowly. ¡°Professor Lin, so you came to the office today?¡± Shen Liang smiled. ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± ¡°Yes, I did.¡± Lin Fan touched his nose and said, ¡°Chancellor Shen, why are you here?¡± Not coming to school often made Lin Fan feel a little embarrassed. ¡°Oh, these two are Director Liu and Director Huang from the Education Research Institute. They have something to say to you,¡± Shen Liang said. ¡°Professor Lin, I¡¯ve heard a lot about you.¡± ¡°Hello, Professor Lin.¡± ¡­ The two directors greeted Lin Fan and extended their right hands to him. Lin Fan also extended his hand and greeted them. At this time, Director Liu said, ¡°Mr. Lin, if it¡¯s convenient, can we find a place to talk?¡± Lin Fan did not mind and said, ¡°Sure.¡± Lin Fan, Shen Liang, and the two directors left the office. ¡°Professor Lin is awesome!¡± Hao Zhiwu exclaimed sincerely. It was no wonder that he would sigh like this. One had to know¡­ Shen Liang was the chancellor of Jiangbei University! He had always been the only one who people reported things to. When had they ever seen him personally come looking for someone? In addition, the Education Research Institute was an incredible institution. Now, two directors had appeared! ¡­ Not long after, Lin Fan and the two directors arrived at the meeting room. Shen Liang understood that these two directors probably had something to discuss with Lin Fan. Therefore, he found an excuse and left first. ¡°Professor Lin, first of all, congratulations on solving Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just solving a problem. Director Liu, you¡¯re too polite.¡± Director Liu was stunned for a moment. It was just a problem? However, this was Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis! Perhaps, in this entire world, only Lin Fan could make this matter sound so light. Director Liu coughed dryly and said, ¡°Although you just solved a problem, it¡¯s a difficult problem that has troubled the world for nearly a hundred years¡­¡± Lin Fan saw that he wanted to continue lamenting and interrupted, ¡°Director Liu, why did you come to look for me?¡± All along, Lin Fan did not like to listen to too much nonsense. It was too boring. Director Liu seemed to have noticed this and continued, ¡°The college entrance examination is about to be held. I wonder if you can help me come up with the final question for each of these four subjects¡ªmathematics, physics, biology, and chemistry?¡± When Lin Fan heard this, he was slightly stunned. When he was in high school, the exam that he looked forward to the most was the college entrance examination. Later, because her sister was seriously ill, he chose to give up on it. He was now asked to set the college entrance examination questions? He could not take the college entrance examination back then, and now, he was the one preparing the questions for others? This¡­ It seemed like a pretty good thing! Director Liu saw that Lin Fan did not reply and could not help but say, ¡°I know that this might be a little too much for you, but if you do this, many high school students in Hua Nation will be very happy. ¡°Because many students look up to you as their role model!¡± Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°Director Liu, you¡¯ve misunderstood. I¡¯m very happy to set the questions for the college entrance examination.¡± When Director Liu and Director Huang heard this, they both revealed a hint of joy. ¡°Really? This is great!¡± ¡°Thank you, Professor Lin.¡± ¡­ Director Liu did not forget to remind him, ¡°Since the college entrance examination is on June 7th, and we still need time to print the test papers¡­ ¡°Professor Lin, if it¡¯s possible, please prepare the questions before May 25th.¡± Lin Fan waved his hand and said, ¡°It won¡¯t take that long. Did you bring a pen and paper?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Director Liu was stunned for a moment and said, ¡°Yes.¡± As he spoke, he handed over a pen and paper. Lin Fan asked, ¡°Do you have any requirements for the four final questions?¡± Director Liu thought for a moment and said, ¡°I don¡¯t have any specific requirements¡­ As long as they can test the students¡¯ learning of the subject in the three years of high school, that¡¯ll be enough.¡± Lin Fan nodded thoughtfully. After thinking for about ten seconds, he picked up the ballpoint pen and started writing quickly on the paper. After a while, the four questions appeared. ¡°These¡­¡± Director Liu was puzzled. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just ask me to prepare the questions for the college entrance examination? Here,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Huh¡­ So fast?¡± Director Liu stuttered. After all, this was the college entrance examination they were talking about. It was a major exam that involved the fate of millions of students! It could also be said that¡­ to be the most important exam in Hua Nation! Lin Fan wrote down the questions just like that? From the time he said he was going to set the college entrance examination questions to the time he wrote them, and there were a total of four questions, had it been a total of three minutes? ¡°It¡¯s just a few questions for high school students,¡± Lin Fan said casually. ¡°I don¡¯t have to think about it for too long.¡± Director Liu opened his mouth and looked at the questions in his hand. He then said helplessly, ¡°Alright¡­Alright then. Although these questions might not necessarily appear on the college entrance examination papers. ¡°But Professor Lin, please keep this matter and these questions a secret.¡± In fact, if it was someone else who set the questions, it would definitely not be as simple as asking for confidentiality. It would require going through a strict process. However, Lin Fan was the one who invented the earthquake prediction device, the carbon-based photolithographic machine, the super battery, and the human islet recovery drug¡­ He had different privileges. Lin Fan said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know the rules.¡± ¡°Is there anything else?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°No,¡± Director Liu thought for a moment and said. Hence, Lin Fan got up and prepared to leave. At this moment, Director Liu could not help but call out to him again. ¡°Professor Lin, do you want to prepare a few more questions as backup?¡± Lin Fan waved his hand and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need. These questions are quite suitable.¡± After saying that, he walked forward without looking back. Director Liu and Director Huang looked at each other and sighed. ¡­ As for the matter of the college entrance exam, Lin Fan was only a little happy when he first found out. After that, he put the matter aside. He had just turned into the corridor when he saw Shen Liang standing in front of him, overlooking the campus scenery below. He casually greeted him, ¡°Chancellor, are you admiring the scenery?¡± When Shen Liang heard this, he slowly turned around and said, ¡°Yes¡­ Yes, Professor Lin, you finished chatting with Director Liu and Director Huang so quickly?¡± ¡°Yes, we just exchanged a few words,¡± Lin Fan said. Chapter 491 - 491 Welcome to the Wedding! 491 Welcome to the Wedding! In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday. After Lin Fan ate breakfast, he drove the Cullinan straight to Washington Palace. He remembered that he had made an appointment with Su Ningjing to attend her former classmate¡¯s wedding banquet together. At this moment, Su Ningjing was already waiting in front of the entrance of Washington Palace. Today, Su Ningjing was wearing a light blue dress and a pair of white shoes. She looked stunning. Under the sunlight, her body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of silver, looking extremely fresh and pure. All the people who passed by the gate looked at her. Su Ningjing ignored the passersby. Her beautiful eyes stared unblinkingly at the road in the distance. When a tall and sturdy Cullinan drove over, a bright smile immediately appeared on Su Ningjing¡¯s pretty face. This Cullinan belonged to Lin Fan! Lin Fan slowly stopped the car and asked, ¡°Ningjing, have you been waiting?¡± Su Ningjing shook her head vigorously and said, ¡°I¡¯ve only just arrived.¡± Lin Fan looked at the beads of sweat on her forehead and said, ¡°Silly girl.¡± After he finished speaking, he lowered the temperature of the air conditioner a little. Then, he stepped on the accelerator. ¡­ The Imperial Hotel was the most luxurious hotel in Jiangbei. Anyone with some assets would choose to hold their wedding here. This was because only in this way could they display their power and make themselves look good. Today, Wang Yunfang and Shu Jiadong¡¯s wedding was held here. Shu Jiadong¡¯s father, Shu Rong, owned a factory with about 50 to 60 employees. He thought that he was a boss too. He was the boss, so his son¡¯s wedding naturally had to be grand enough! Therefore, he paid a huge price to hold the wedding at the Imperial Hotel. At this moment, Shu Rong was wearing a suit. He was standing at the entrance of the banquet hall on the third floor of the Imperial Hotel with Wang Yunfang and Shu Jiadong, welcoming the guests who were attending the wedding. ¡°Boss Ma, hahaha! Welcome!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not late?¡± ¡°No, no! Quick, please come in!¡± ¡°President Liu, thank you for coming.¡± ¡°Boss Shu, your son¡¯s wedding is such a big event. How could I not come? Is this your daughter-in-law? She¡¯s so beautiful!¡± ¡°Thank you for your praise, President Liu¡­¡± Waves of laughter rose and fell. It was extremely lively. ¡°Tsk!¡± Lin Fan parked the Cullinan in the parking lot at the side and walked into the hotel with Su Ningjing. When they arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall on the third floor, Shu Rong could not help but ask, ¡°You are?¡± Coincidentally, Wang Yunfang also looked over and said, ¡°Dad, she¡¯s my former classmate and this is her boyfriend. I¡¯ll just bring them in.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Shu Rong nodded. Thus, Wang Yunfang brought Lin Fan and Su Ningjing to the last table. As Wang Yunfang walked, the gold bracelets on her wrist collided with each other, making a clear sound. She could not help but complain, ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s not good to have too many gold bracelets. They keep making sounds when I walk. They¡¯re too noisy and too heavy.¡± Even though she said that, her face was full of smiles. Too many gold bracelets, too noisy, too heavy¡­ She was just deliberately showing off. Su Ningjing¡¯s thoughts were all on Lin Fan. She did not think too deeply about Wang Yunfang¡¯s words. She handed over a red packet and said, ¡°May you have a blissful marriage.¡± Wang Yunfang opened the red packet with a smile and took out five red notes. ¡°500 yuan? Hehe, sit here.¡± She laughed disdainfully and arranged for Lin Fan and Su Ning to sit at the end. At this moment, there was a commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall. ¡°Chairman Zhang, Chairman Song, Mr. Wang, Director Liu, Director Li¡­¡± Shu Rong shouted in surprise. Why are you here?¡± No wonder he was so surprised. The two men in suits standing at the front were none other than¡­ It was the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale Market, Zhang Zhou, and the chairman of Yinshan Group, Song Zhifeng! Last year, the market value of Xiao Wu Wholesale City and Silver Mountain Group exceeded 10 billion! Now, these two companies had established a partnership with Flower Stem. As a result, the status and market value of Xiao Wu Wholesale City and Silver Mountain Group greatly increased. In Shu Rong¡¯s eyes, Zhang Zhou and Song Zhifeng were definitely giants! Slightly behind them was the general manager of the Imperial Hotel, Wang Fengyi, as well as the higher-ups of Xiao Wu Wholesale City and the Silver Mountain Group. Zhang Zhou smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s a happy occasion for you. How can we not come?¡± Song Zhifeng smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you welcome us?¡± ¡°Yes, we had to attend this wedding banquet,¡± Wang Fengyi said. ¡°Welcome, welcome!¡± Shu Rong hurriedly said. How could he not welcome them? It was really too unexpected. Although Shu Rong considered himself a boss, the few of them had only met twice at some large chambers of commerce and banquets. Therefore, Shu Rong did not dare to invite Zhang Zhou, Song Zhifeng, Wang Fengyi, and the others to his son¡¯s wedding banquet. He understood that he was not qualified. In fact¡­ That was indeed the case. The reason why they came over was because they saw Lin Fan walking into the banquet hall when they were taking the elevator. Who was Lin Fan? He was the biggest shareholder of Silver Mountain Group and Xiao Wu Wholesale City. He was also the owner of the Imperial Hotel! Lin Fan had personally come over. They naturally had to follow him. ¡­. Wang Yunfang saw that so many people had come at once. Moreover, Shu Rong had become happy. There was even a hint of respect on his face. ¡°Hubby, who are those people?¡± she asked curiously. ¡°Don¡¯t you like to shop at Yinshan Group¡¯s malls?¡± Shu Jiadong asked. ¡°Don¡¯t you like to buy things at Xiao Wu Wholesale City? Didn¡¯t you ask to hold the wedding at the Imperial Hotel? ¡°The two in the front are the chairmen of Silver Mountain Group and Xiao Wu Wholesale City! The person behind is the general manager of the Imperial Hotel!¡± When he mentioned the background of these people, his tone could not help but become high-spirited. This was a pride that came from the bottom of his heart! These big shots were here to attend his wedding! When Wang Yunfang heard this, an unconcealable excitement surfaced on her face. The reason why she married Shu Jiadong was because his family owned a factory and he had a good family background. Now, it seemed that her choice¡­ was right! Even the chairmen of Silver Mountain Group and Xiao Wu Wholesale City came to attend the wedding in person. His family¡¯s factory was definitely better than she had imagined! At this time, Shu Jiadong frowned again and said, ¡°We booked the seats according to the number of guests. With so many guests coming at once, I¡¯m afraid there won¡¯t be enough seats.¡± Chapter 492 - 492 Forget It; Give Me A Car! (1) 492 Forget It; Give Me A Car! (1) Not enough seats? When Wang Yunfang heard this, she hurriedly turned around and came to the last seats. ¡°Su Ningjing, Lin Fan, you guys came too late¡­ ¡°I thought you guys weren¡¯t coming today, so I didn¡¯t arrange your seats. ¡°How about this, Su Ningjing? I¡¯ll return the gift money to you. You guys go back first. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal next time.¡± After speaking, she stuffed the 500 yuan into Su Ningjing¡¯s arms. Wang Yunfang¡¯s original intention was to show off her grand wedding. Su Ningjing was already here. She had seen it¡­ Wang Yunfang had achieved her goal. Now that there were not enough seats, there was naturally no reason for Su Ningjing to continue staying. ¡­ Too late? Even now, guests were coming in one after another. This was called too late? Lin Fan was already unhappy with Wang Yunfang. Whenever she spoke, she kept showing off. She even seemed to belittle Su Ningjing. Now, she even returned the gift money and was trying to chase him and Su Ningjing away. At this moment, Lin Fan could no longer bear with it. He stood up and said, ¡°Ningjing, let¡¯s go.¡± Su Ningjing had always listened to Lin Fan¡¯s words. She stood up without hesitation. At this moment, Zhang Zhou, Song Zhifeng, Wang Fengyi, and the others slowly walked over under Shu Rong¡¯s personal lead. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin,¡± Song Zhifeng, Zhang Zhou, and Wang Fengyi said in unison. As soon as they said this, Wang Yunfang¡¯s heart suddenly jumped. What did she hear? The chairman of Yinshan Group, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, and the general manager of the Imperial Hotel all greeted Su Ningjing¡¯s boyfriend? This¡­ What was going on? ¡­ Seeing that Lin Fan was about to leave, Zhang Zhou asked curiously, ¡°Mr. Lin, you¡¯re¡­¡± Lin Fan had already seen Zhang Zhou and the others. At the same time, he understood what they were thinking. ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡± he said calmly. ¡°This bride is my girlfriend¡¯s former classmate. However, she feels that there aren¡¯t enough seats at the banquet. ¡°So, she returned my girlfriend¡¯s gift money and asked us to leave.¡± Return the gift money? Getting Lin Fan and his girlfriend to leave? This¡­ It was simply a humiliation! Zhang Zhou, Song Zhifeng, Wang Fengyi, and the others all had ugly expressions on their faces. ¡°Since there aren¡¯t enough seats, let¡¯s leave too!¡± Zhang Zhou said coldly. ¡°I agree!¡± Song Zhifeng said. ¡°It seems that the hall of our Imeprial Hotel is too small. In that case, Mr. Shu, I think you shouldn¡¯t hold your wedding here,¡± Wang Fengyi said in a deep voice. As they spoke, they followed Lin Fan and were about to walk out together. At this moment, no matter how dumb Shu Rong was, he knew that Lin Fan was definitely an incredible figure. In fact, Zhang Zhou and the others suddenly came to attend the wedding because of Lin Fan! Originally, he had the opportunity to establish a relationship with Zhang Zhou, Song Zhifeng, Wang Fengyi, and other big shots. Now, not only could he not establish a relationship with them, but he had also offended the other party! Wang Yunfang, this bastard woman! Shu Rong glared fiercely at Wang Yunfang and then said anxiously, ¡°Chairman Zhang, Chairman Song, Mr. Wang¡­ Please don¡¯t leave, Mr. Lin. There must¡¯ve been a misunderstanding just now¡­¡± However, Lin Fan and the rest did not care about Shu Rong¡¯s shouts and continued walking out. Shu Rong could not help but shout at Wang Yunfang, ¡°What are you waiting for? Quickly apologize to Mr. Lin and his girlfriend!¡± Wang Yunfang slowly recovered from her shock and said, ¡°L-Lin Fan, Su Ningjing, I was just joking¡­¡± However, Lin Fan, Su Ningjing, Zhang Zhou, and the others did not stop. When Shu Rong saw this, he could not help but shout at Shu Jiadong, ¡°Look, this is the woman you want to marry!¡± Originally, he was not very satisfied with Wang Yunfang. Now, he was even more disgusted! Shu Jiadong opened his mouth and slowly lowered his head. At this moment, at the front of the banquet hall, the large LED display screen that was originally playing the wedding video of Shu Jiadong and Wang Yunfang suddenly jumped, and a 65-slide PowerPoint presentation deck appeared. There were photos of Wang Yunfang before plastic surgery, chat records of her with many people, and all kinds of indecent photos¡­ Seeing this¡­ Everyone¡¯s eyes widened. Shu Rong was so angry that his entire body trembled. Shu Jiadong was stunned. Wang Yunfang¡¯s face was pale, and cold sweat rolled down her forehead. She stuttered, ¡°J-Jiadong, these¡­ These aren¡¯t real¡­¡± It would have been fine if she had not opened her mouth, but the moment she did, it seemed to have completely ignited Shu Jiadong¡¯s anger. ¡°B*tch!¡± Shu Jiadong raised his hand and fiercely slapped Wang Yunfang¡¯s face. ¡°I¡¯m not getting married!¡± Wang Yunfang did not cry even after the slap. However, when she heard Shu Jiadong¡¯s words, she immediately shed hot tears. She could not marry the factory owner¡¯s son anymore. ¡­ Lin Fan did not care about any of this at all. He and Su Ningjing did not leave the Imperial Hotel. Instead, under Wang Fengyi¡¯s arrangement, they went to the VIP room on the 78th floor. The two of them sat in a large private room, admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window and tasting all kinds of delicacies. They were very satisfied. Su Ningjing¡¯s pretty face was full of smiles. It was not because they were in a VIP room, nor was it because of the beautiful scenery, nor was it because of the delicious food. It was because Lin Fan was right beside her. Then, the two of them went to KM Mall. Chapter 493 - 493 Forget It; Give Me A Car! (2) 493 Forget It; Give Me A Car! (2) After all, it was rare to see each other, so they had to take a stroll. When the two of them walked out of KM Mall, they were carrying large and small bags of Chanel, Lancome, Gucci, and other clothes and jewelry. When Lin Fan returned to Coiling Dragon Villa, it was already nighttime. ¡­ A day passed in the blink of an eye. On Sunday, Lin Fan sat on the sofa after breakfast. He played with his phone and drank some Spirit Tea. He felt refreshed and relaxed. At this moment, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID. It was Wang Fugui, the chairman of Yadi Automobile. Lin Fan did not hesitate and answered the call. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin,¡± Wang Fugui said respectfully. Respectful? That was right! Respectful! On one hand, Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder of Yadi Automobile. On the other hand, it was because of Lin Fan¡¯s many inventions¡ªthe earthquake prediction device, the carbon-based photolithographic machine, the super battery¡­ Which one of them did not shock the world? Anyone would treat such a great scientist and scholar with respect. Lin Fan said, ¡°Hello.¡± Then, he asked bluntly, ¡°Chairman Wang, why are you calling?¡± Wang Fugui had interacted with Lin Fan before and knew that he was a straightforward person. Therefore, he said directly, ¡°Mr. Lin, yesterday, we installed the super battery on the first car and passed all the performance tests! ¡°After our tests, we¡¯ve obtained data. The endurance of this pure electric car can reach 3,000 kilometers!¡± When he said this, Wang Fugui¡¯s tone clearly became high-spirited. Pride and excitement surged crazily! It was no wonder that he would be like this. What did 3,000 kilometers mean? That meant that one only needed to charge the car once to drive from the east to the west of Hua Nation! This was already far beyond the capabilities of a gasoline car! People often said that gasoline cars would eventually be eliminated by new energy vehicles. However, no one knew when it would happen. Now, Wang Fugui could clearly tell everyone that it was time for the elimination! He could almost imagine the grand scene of electric cars being driven by countless people! The era that belonged to Yadi Automobile had arrived! Compared to Wang Fugui¡¯s excitement, Lin Fan was much calmer. ¡°Is that so?¡± he said casually. ¡°Not bad, right?¡± One had to know¡­ The super battery was invented by him. Lin Fan already knew the exact numbers. Now, Wang Fugui was only putting it into practice. What was there to be happy about? When Wang Fugui heard Lin Fan¡¯s voice, he snapped back to his senses. He cleared his throat and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯ve already sent the first electric car to you. It should be here today. You can feel the effect when the time comes.¡± ¡°Alright then,¡± Lin Fan said. Then, Wang Fugui started chatting with Lin Fan. However, Lin Fan did not have the intention to chat. He only casually echoed a few words before hanging up the phone. At this moment, a muffled sound came from outside. A tow truck arrived outside Coiling Dragon¡¯s villa. On top of the tow truck was a very cool electric supercar. This¡­ It was the first Yadi super-electric car that Wang Fugui had mentioned. The tow truck driver was very smug along the way. After all, he was transporting a cool super sports car. All the passerby¡¯s attention was drawn to it. However, when he arrived at the villa, the pride in his heart was completely thrown aside. This was because all that could be seen here were luxury cars. Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini¡­ Among them, there were more than ten Rolls-Royce. He even saw a private helicopter! The tow truck driver thought to himself, ¡®The people who live here are really rich!¡¯ Seeing that the tow truck driver did not move, Lin Fan walked out and said, ¡°Did Yadi Automobile ask you to send it over?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± The tow truck driver said. ¡°Mr. Lin, may I ask where you want to leave the car?¡± ¡°Oh, put it wherever you want. The villas here are all mine,¡± Lin Fan said casually. All his? There were nearly ten villas here! Also, these luxury cars and private planes all belonged to Mr. Lin? Being poor really limited his imagination! The tow truck driver was stunned for a moment before he said, ¡°Alright¡­ Alright.¡± When the tow truck driver put down the car, a black Audi slowly stopped at the entrance of the Coiling Dragon Villa. A middle-aged man in a white shirt strode over. It was the director of the Institute of Science, Feng Zhixiang, who had interacted with Lin Fan several times. ¡°Professor Lin, you¡¯re here,¡± Feng Zhixiang said happily.¡± ¡°You bought a sports car again? There are so many cars. Can you drive all of them?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°There are many cars here that I didn¡¯t buy. I didn¡¯t buy this car either. The chairman of Yadi Automobile, Wang Fugui, got someone to give it to me.¡± ¡°Yadi Automobile?¡± Feng Zhixiang said in surprise. He had naturally heard of Yadi Automobile. In the past, Yadi focused on producing low-end fuel cars. In recent years, after the country called for new energy vehicles, it put all its focus on new energy vehicles. However, when did Yadi Automobile produce sports cars? ¡°Doesn¡¯t Yadi Automobile mainly produce new energy vehicles now? Now it¡¯s making sports cars?¡± Feng Zhixiang could not help but say it out loud. ¡°This is a new energy car. Wang Fugui just called to say that it can drive 3,000 kilometers on one charge.¡± ¡°What? 3,000 kilometers!¡± Feng Zhixiang¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. 3,000 kilometers was a terrifying number. Then, Feng Zhixiang seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said, ¡°Is it using the super battery you invented?¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± After receiving Lin Fan¡¯s affirmation, Feng Zhi Xiang¡¯s eyes were still wide open. His face was filled with disbelief. ¡°Endurance of 3,000 kilometers. 3, 000 kilometers¡­ It¡¯s actually done¡­ This¡­ Only the legendary controllable nuclear fusion should be able to do this, right?¡± Feng Zhixiang muttered to himself. When Lin Fan heard this, he was slightly stunned. That was because a crisp notification suddenly sounded in his mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve triggered a mission¡ªbuild a nuclear fusion plant that¡¯s more than 10,000 acres, own a Totamac device, and read Particle Simulation of Plasmas, Manual of Plasma Physics and Formulas, Thermonuron Fusion Plasma Physics, and Controlled Nuclear Fusion. Rewards: Complete version of the controllable nuclear fusion device, as well as related knowledge such as principles and design drawings, +1 upgrade Professor-Level Physics Experience, and one platinum packet.] Building a 10,000-acre nuclear fusion plant would undoubtedly cost a lot of money. However, to Lin Fan, was a problem that could be solved with money a problem? Possessing a Totamac device? Hua Nation did not have one at all. Lin Fan did not know how to design one either. He needed to think of a way. As for flipping through books, that was too simple. Lin Fan looked at the rewards, and his lips curled up. Not a bad mission! Lin Fan was in a good mood. He looked at Feng Zhixiang and said, ¡°Director Feng, why are you here today?¡± After Feng Zhixiang heard Lin Fan¡¯s question, he came back to his senses. He cleared his throat and said somewhat embarrassed, ¡°Professor Lin, you said last time that you have advanced versions of prosthetic limbs¡­¡± When Lin Fan heard this, he immediately understood what he meant. Last time, Feng Zhixiang mentioned that he wanted to let a group of disabled soldiers who were injured during battle use advanced prosthetic limbs to form a special battle team. ¡°Have you gathered all the disabled soldiers?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Yes,¡± Feng Zhixiang quickly said. In fact, he had gathered all of them a long time ago. He did not dare to rush Lin Fan and could only let the soldiers wait silently. However, this wait lasted for more than half a month. The soldiers could not help but feel anxious. Therefore, Feng Zhixiang had no choice but to personally come over to ask. Right now, Lin Fan was in a good mood. After all, he had just triggered a pretty good mission. Moreover, this mission was also partly because of Feng Zhixiang. Therefore, he did not hesitate and said, ¡°I¡¯ll send you the prosthetic limbs in a few days.¡± ¡°Thank you, Professor Lin!¡± Feng Zhixiang said happily. Chapter 494 - 494 Declare; Completion of the Third Problem! 494 Declare; Completion of the Third Problem! Not long ago, Feng Zhixiang had already met Hu Shaodong. He saw with his own eyes¡­ Hu Shaodong, who had put on the advanced version of prosthetic limbs, was so powerful that it was not an exaggeration to call him Superman! It would not be long before the team of disabled soldiers could all be equipped with prosthetic limbs and become a team of superhuman soldiers. How could this not make Feng Zhixiang happy? Lin Fan waved his hand and said, ¡°I¡¯ve already promised you this. You don¡¯t have to be so polite. ¡°Oh, right, did you just say controllable nuclear fusion?¡± Feng Zhixiang smiled and said, ¡°I was just making an analogy¡­ I used to hear academicians say that if controllable nuclear fusion is developed, new energy vehicles can last thousands of kilometers. ¡°Now, with your super battery, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need to rush into controllable nuclear fusion.¡± What he said was to highlight the importance of Lin Fan¡¯s super battery. It was a disguised form of praise for Lin Fan. Generally speaking, people liked to be praised. Feng Zhixiang believed that Lin Fan would be in a good mood after hearing this. However, Lin Fan shook his head and said, ¡°We still have to study controllable nuclear fusion. Maybe there¡¯ll be results soon.¡± After all, as long as he completed the mission, he could master controllable nuclear fusion technology. He was just foreshadowing in advance. ¡°What¡¯s so great about controllable nuclear fusion?¡± Feng Zhixiang asked. ¡°It¡¯s just a little more energy, but if an accident were to happen, it would be a terrible disaster. ¡°Your super battery is the best. It¡¯s safe, reliable, stable, and lasts for a long time!¡± Another praise. Feng Zhixiang felt that Lin Fan would definitely be very happy. His relationship with Lin Fan had taken another big step closer. Lin Fan glanced at Feng Zhixiang and said, ¡°I¡¯m preparing to research controllable nuclear fusion.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Feng Zhixiang was slightly stunned. He had just praised the super battery and belittled the controllable nuclear fusion¡­ Now, Lin Fan wanted to research controllable nuclear fusion? Did he dig a hole for himself? Feng Zhixiang could not help but cough dryly and said, ¡°So, you want to research controllable nuclear fusion¡­ ¡°This is good! Controlled nuclear fusion has a small size, high energy, and increased cleanliness. Once the research is successful, it can directly replace our thermal power generation and completely free up our productivity¡­¡± Once he opened his mouth, Feng Zhixiang could not stop. He kept talking about the advantages of controllable nuclear fusion. It was as if he was not the one who was belittling controllable nuclear fusion just now. Lin Fan could not help but look at Feng Zhixiang. He had a strange expression on his face and said, ¡°So, Director Feng, can you help me apply for the controllable nuclear fusion research and development qualification?¡± Any nuclear research was definitely not something that an individual could casually carry out. Especially since Lin Fan wanted to set up a factory, he needed the approval of the country. Feng Zhixiang was slightly stunned. After a while, he said, ¡°Professor Lin, you want the controllable nuclear fusion factory qualification?¡± Generally speaking, controllable nuclear fusion research only needed to be done in a laboratory. Factory qualifications? Was this not only needed for mass production after the research was successful? Lin Fan naturally understood Feng Zhixiang¡¯s doubts, but he did not explain too much and continued, ¡°Yes, and I need to build a controllable nuclear fusion plant that covers an area of more than 10,000 acres.¡± Feng Zhixiang was stunned again. 10,000 acres of controllable nuclear fusion? This was definitely a large factory. Hua Nation did not even have such a large controllable nuclear fusion plant. So big? ¡°Can¡¯t I?¡± Lin Fan said. Only then did Feng Zhixiang come back to his senses and said, ¡°If it were anyone else, it definitely wouldn¡¯t work!¡± He was absolutely not spouting nonsense. Nuclear power was too dangerous for the country and even the entire world. If the country let just anyone study it, it would definitely be a terrifying thing. He paused for a moment before continuing, ¡°But as for you¡­ I¡¯ll report this matter to the higher-ups. As for whether it¡¯ll work out or not, it¡¯s up to the higher-ups to decide.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°When can we get the news?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll make a trip to the capital later. If everything goes well¡­ about two days,¡± Feng Zhixiang said. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± Feng Zhixiang hesitated. ¡°Professor Lin, actually, if you want to research controllable nuclear fusion, I can help you apply for the project. You¡¯ll be the chief engineer and the person in charge. When the time comes, the factory, equipment, and everything will be ready for you¡­¡± Lin Fan waved his hand. ¡°That¡¯s not necessary. I¡¯ll do my own research.¡± After all, this mission required him to build a controllable nuclear fusion plant of more than 10,000 acres. If the country helped, how could the mission be completed? Seeing Lin Fan¡¯s insistence, Feng Zhixiang did not say anything else. He said helplessly, ¡°Alright then.¡± Then, Feng Zhixiang chatted for a while before leaving slowly. Lin Fan lay on the sofa and continued to play with his phone. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. Lin Fan spent 3,680 yuan and ate breakfast from a two-star Michelin restaurant before heading to Jiangbei University. At this time, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, and Liu Qianqian were already reading quietly in the office. Only Hao Zhiwu¡¯s seat was still empty. Just as Lin Fan was about to sit down in the executive chair to rest¡­ At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside the corridor. Hao Zhiwu slowly walked in with a tired body and a weak expression. This weekend, he was completely immersed in the gaming helmet. Even though one was meant to play with the gaming helmet by lying on the bed with one¡¯s eyes closed, the brain would always be thinking. Thus, one would also be tired. ¡°Good morning, Professor Lin.¡± Hao Zhiwu yawned. When Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, and Liu Qianqian heard this, they raised their heads and greeted, ¡°Good morning, Professor Lin.¡± Lin Fan nodded at everyone and said, ¡°Good morning.¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue quickly took out a bottle of energy drinks from their drawers and handed them to Lin Fan. When they saw Lin Fan drink a mouthful of each bottle, a sweet smile appeared on their faces. However, they did not behave like usual. They immediately returned to their seats and continued to read quietly with their heads lowered. Today, Xia Bing and Xia Xue looked like they wanted to say something but hesitated. Liu Qianqian, who was sitting beside her, could not help but say,¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue have solved the third question.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± When Lin Fan heard this, he could not help but look at Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s computers. Sure enough, their computers had turned into normal desktop displays. This meant that their third problem had been solved! Lin Fan said happily, ¡°Xia Bing, Xia Xue, you guys did well!¡± After all, his students had to win international awards. Only then would he be able to complete the system mission. After solving all three problems, they were undoubtedly one step closer to winning an international award. Chapter 495 - 495 Handwritten Letter; Ordinary Technology Company! 495 Handwritten Letter; Ordinary Technology Company! After Xia Bing and Xia Xue heard Lin Fan¡¯s words, their faces immediately bloomed like flowers. Praise! Lin Fan was praising them! Liu Qianqian looked at Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s happy expressions and could not help but shake her head secretly. She thought to herself, ¡®They¡¯ve completely fallen for him. Is it worth it?¡¯ Then¡­ Liu Qianqian recalled the scene of Lin Fan casually throwing the basketball into the basket. Then, she fixed his gaze on Lin Fan. After a while, Liu Qianqian shook her head vigorously and focused her attention on the question in front of her. Hurry up and study! It would not be long before he could answer the third question! Nie Zhenjiang and Jiang Chaoqun also took the time to read. In the past, they could use the fact that no one had solved the third problem to tell themselves that the problem was too difficult. However, someone had already answered their third problem, and it was two women. This made them feel nervous. ¡­ Lin Fan looked at Hao Zhiwu who was still a little dizzy and said, ¡°Help me find a few books.¡± ¡°Alright, Professor Lin.¡± Hao Zhiwu immediately agreed. For the past two days, he had been staying in the dormitory and playing with the gaming helmet. At this moment, he really needed to walk around a little as exercise. After a while¡­ Particle Simulation of Plasmas, Manual of Plasma Physics and Formulas, Thermonuron Fusion Plasma Physics, and Controlled Nuclear Fusion were placed in front of Lin Fan. Without any hesitation, Lin Fan started flipping through them. One could hear the sound of books being flipped in a hurry in the office. In the end, two were done. Soon, Lin Fan finished reading all five books. All the contents were engraved in his heart. Then, Lin Fan turned his attention to the system mission. [Ding! You¡¯ve triggered a mission¡ªbuild a nuclear fusion plant that¡¯s more than 10,000 acres (0/1), own a Totamac device (0/1), and read Particle Simulation of Plasmas, Manual of Plasma Physics and Formulas, Thermonuron Fusion Plasma Physics, and Controlled Nuclear Fusion (5/5). Rewards: Complete version of the controllable nuclear fusion device, as well as related knowledge such as principles and design drawings, +1 upgrade Professor-Level Physics Experience, and one platinum packet.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up slowly. He had completed one-third of the mission. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was noon. Lin Fan had just finished his lunch when his phone vibrated. 12:00 PM! The red packets were here! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 19,999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 88 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 5% of Handwriting¡¯s shares.] Lin Fan received a total of 47,899 yuan from today¡¯s red packets. Lin Fan naturally did not care about this bit of money. He immediately turned his attention to the 5% of Handwriting shares that he obtained. Handwriting was the world¡¯s largest social media app. Its market value was close to seven trillion yuan, even surpassing Hua Nation¡¯s Penguin Group and Little Tanuki Group! 5% of the shares was about 350 billion yuan. To Lin Fan, money was just a string of numbers. However, when he saw the red packet, he could not help but smile. This was because he had only received some useless money after signing in and receiving red packets for a long time. Now, something different had finally arrived. This meant that his luck was good again. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. It was the director of the Institute of Science, Feng Zhixiang. ¡°Professor Lin, good afternoon,¡± Feng Zhixiang said. Lin Fan, who had just received 5% of the shares, was in a good mood. ¡°Hello, Director Feng.¡± Feng Zhixiang knew that Lin Fan did not like to beat about the bush, so he said directly, ¡°Professor Lin, I¡¯ve already returned from Jingbei. About what you said yesterday¡­ I¡¯ll tell you the details in person. Where are you now?¡± After all, what he wanted to talk to Lin Fan about was controllable nuclear fusion. Anything with a nuclear core was confidential, and no one could eavesdrop on the conversation. Lin Fan understood what Feng Zhixiang was thinking. However, he did not think that anyone in this world could eavesdrop on his conversation. He had a super smart watch. ¡°Then come over,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°I¡¯m at Jiangbei University.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Feng Zhixiang said. Not long after, Feng Zhixiang arrived at the office door. He looked at Hao Zhiwu, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Nie Zhenjiang, and the others who were studying hard and said in a low voice, ¡°Professor Lin, let¡¯s talk in the conference room.¡± Lin Fan nodded. After the two of them arrived at the meeting room¡­ ¡°Professor Lin, Jingbei has agreed to your request,¡± Feng Zhixiang said. ¡°They also asked us to give you the greatest support, including the construction of controllable nuclear fusion engineering teams, machinery, land approval, loans, and so on.¡± Lin Fan said in satisfaction, ¡°Engineering team, mechanical equipment, land approval¡­ I¡¯ll pay for all of these normally. There¡¯s no need for a loan¡­ I can still afford this bit of money.¡± Feng Zhixiang opened his mouth. He wanted to say that building a controllable nuclear fusion plant would probably cost billions! What he was building was a 10,000-acre controllable nuclear fusion plant, which was worth at least tens of billions! A bit of money? However, soon, Feng Zhixiang thought of Lin Fan¡¯s invention of the human islet recovery drug, the super battery, the carbon-based photolithographic machine¡­ All of this seemed to have brought Lin Fan a terrifying amount of wealth. Perhaps tens of billions¡­ was nothing to Lin Fan. Therefore, Feng Zhixiang said, ¡°Alright then.¡± In fact, Feng Zhixiang only guessed half of it. Lin Fan had a lot of money now. Not long ago, Little Tanuki Group, Penguin Group, Dahua Group, Yadi Automobile, Da Mi Group, Hua Zhidi, Sun Pharmaceutical, Liu Pharmaceutical¡­ All of them gave Lin Fan a large sum of money. The current Lin Fan had nearly a hundred billion in cash flow. This was definitely a terrifying number! ¡°Professor Lin, do you have any requirements for the site?¡± Feng Zhixiang asked after a pause. ¡°I need a big territory! It would be best if it¡¯s not too far away from Jiangbei University,¡± Lin Fan said. After all, he was still a professor at Jiangbei University. If it was too far away, it would be too troublesome. Feng Zhixiang nodded in understanding and said,¡± Also, what are you going to name this factory? I can help you register the name.¡± Name? Lin Fan really had not thought about it. He pondered for a moment before saying, ¡°Let¡¯s call it Ordinary Technology.¡± ¡°Ordinary Technology?¡± Feng Zhixiang echoed. ¡°Alright.¡± No one knew that Ordinary Technology, which would resound throughout the world in the future and was destined to be extraordinary, was born in just a few words! Chapter 496 - 496 Request; Award! 496 Request; Award! It had to be said that Feng Zhixiang was very efficient. The next day, Lin Fan received a call from Feng Zhixiang. He said that he had helped him register his company. In addition, he had also helped him find a few plots of land that met his requirements and wanted him to go over and take a look. Lin Fan asked Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Hao Zhiwu, and the others to continue studying in the office. If they encountered questions that they could not answer, they could wait for him to come back. Then, he drove the Cullinan straight to the place Feng Zhixiang had mentioned. About 20 minutes later, Lin Fan arrived at his destination. There were a few dilapidated old factories, a few low hills, and a few small lakes¡­ The place looked rather desolate. However, he was looking to build a controllable nuclear fusion plant, not a financial center. It was not a big deal for the place to be a little desolate. At this moment, a gentle breeze blew over from afar, making people feel refreshed. ¡°This is the closest place to Jiangbei University,¡± Feng Zhixiang said. ¡°The other place is¡­¡± However, before he could finish, Lin Fan said, ¡°This is it.¡± Firstly, this place had mountains, water, and pleasant air. Secondly, it was the closest to Jiangbei University. If he did not choose this place, where should he pick? Feng Zhixiang did not expect Lin Fan to make such a choice. One had to know¡­ He was going to spend tens of billions to build a controllable nuclear fusion plant! Did it take just one minute for Lin Fan to arrive here and make a decision? After a while, Feng Zhixiang stuttered, ¡°Okay¡­ Alright.¡± At this moment, one, two, three¡­ Many SUVs drove over from afar, and men and women wearing white helmets, red helmets, or white shirts stepped out of them. Feng Zhixiang pointed at a middle-aged man who was about 50 years old and said, ¡°Professor Lin, this is Chief Engineer Dai Lide from Hua Construction. You can tell him about the design and requirements of the Ordinary Technology factory.¡± ¡°Hello, Chief Dai,¡± said Lin Fan. Dai Lide did not dare to look down on Lin Fan just because he was a young man. On the contrary, he seemed very excited and respectful. One had to know¡­ Lin Fan was a super genius in the scientific research world. In fact, Dai Lide had always regarded Lin Fan as his role model and idol! He quickly stretched out his hands and held Lin Fan¡¯s right hand tightly. ¡°Hello, Professor Lin! ¡°Professor Lin, if you have any requirements for the factory, you can tell me.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°First, it has to be big! The area had to be more than 10,000 acres!¡± After all, the reason he was building the controllable nuclear fusion plant was to complete the mission. ¡°Second, you need to be fast! You can hire more workers and use more equipment like construction vehicles! You don¡¯t have to worry about money. I¡¯ll give you 20 billion in the early stages! I want to see speed!¡± If a mission had to take three to five years, it would be meaningless. ¡°Third, you must ensure quality, especially safety!¡± He did not want any risks. If he completed the mission, Lin Fan would have the controllable nuclear fusion technology. If the quality was worrying, it would cause a terrible disaster. Dai Lide was like a soldier, standing straight and saying, ¡°Professor Lin, please rest assured!¡± At this point, the factory of Ordinary Technology officially started being built! ¡­ Lin Fan and Dai Lide discussed the details. Then, Lin Fan returned to Jiangbei University. At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from outside the corridor. The dean of the mathematics department, Hu Chuan, walked in quickly. There were beads of sweat on his forehead, and he was panting heavily. Obviously, he ran over. Lin Fan said, ¡°Director Hu, don¡¯t be so anxious. Sit down and rest first.¡± After all, Hu Chuan was already old. If he was not careful and could not catch his breath, it would be troublesome. Hu Chuan did not pay much attention to it. He said excitedly, ¡°Professor Lin, the International Mathematics Center just called. They¡¯ll be presenting you with the Fields Medal!¡± As soon as he said that, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Hao Zhiwu, Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, and Jiang Chaoqun all raised their heads and focused their gazes on Lin Fan. Lin Fan solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, Hodge¡¯s Conjecture, Hail¡¯s Conjecture, and Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis. They knew that Lin Fan would definitely win the Fields Medal. However, after receiving the news, they could not help but reveal an unconcealable excitement. One had to know¡­ This was the Fields Medal that was known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics! It was the highest award in the field of mathematics! Compared to their excitement, Lin Fan was much calmer. He drank a mouthful of Spirit Tea and said unhurriedly, ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll go to Barney to accept the Fields Medal.¡± It was not because Lin Fan was passionate about this award. Firstly, Lin Fan still had to complete his mission of winning an international award. The Fields Medal was obviously an international award. Secondly, Lin Fan knew that Barney had the Totamac device, which was a necessary device for the controllable nuclear fusion mission. A trip to Barney would allow him to complete two missions, so it was naturally worth it. Hu Chuan quickly said, ¡°I¡¯ll go through the relevant procedures and prepare the plane tickets for you now.¡± Lin Fan waved his hand and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to prepare plane tickets for me. I can go there myself.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Hu Chuan said. Then, he ran out in a hurry. Jiangbei University was finally going to have a Fields Medal winner, and this was a rare opportunity to spread the word. One had to know¡­ In all of Hua Nation, even the Capital University and Huaqing University did not have a Fields Medal winner! After Hu Chuan left, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Hao Zhiwu, Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, and Jiang Chaoqun all shouted excitedly, ¡°Professor Lin, congratulations!¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s just an award. If you work hard, you can get it in the future.¡± Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, and the others lowered their heads. They could get it in the future? Although they never thought that they were worse than anyone else, they never thought that they would one day win the Fields Medal. ¡°Professor Lin, can you take us to the Fields Medal ceremony?¡± Hao Zhiwu asked with a smile. ¡°We can also gain some knowledge so that we¡¯ll have more motivation to win the Fields Medal.¡± Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, and the others rolled their eyes. More motivated to win the Fields Medal? Was this something that could be obtained with just motivation? However, a look of anticipation appeared on their faces. Obviously, they were very interested in attending the ceremony. Chapter 497 - 497 Going Forward; A Stumbling Block to Learning! 497 Going Forward; A Stumbling Block to Learning! Lin Fan looked at the expectant faces of everyone and smiled. ¡°Alright, then we can all go together.¡± ¡°Thank you, Professor Lin!¡± everyone shouted excitedly. Since the start of the Fields Medal, it had only been awarded to a few dozen people. None of them had ever thought of winning the award. To them, being able to attend the award ceremony was already very special. Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s beautiful eyes flashed with a faint light. However, they were not happy because they could go to the award ceremony. They were happy because they would have more time to spend with Lin Fan. ¡­ Just as Hu Chuan had expected, it was rare for Jiangbei University to have a Fields Medal winner. This was a rare opportunity for publicity. Almost as soon as he walked into the office, the phone in his pocket rang. ¡°Hu Chuan, I heard that Lin Fan from Jiangbei University¡¯s math department won the Fields Medal. Congratulations¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to be happy about?¡± Hu Chuan asked. ¡°This is Lin Fan¡¯s honor, and he should be congratulated. ¡°However, Huaqing University and Capital University haven¡¯t won the Fields Medal yet. This is the first Fields Medal from Hua Nation, right? I, Jiangbei University, and the mathematics department will benefit from it. Yes, we¡¯ll just benefit from it¡­¡± Although he said that he did not care, the smile on Hu Chuan¡¯s face seemed to be saying that he should be congratulated! ¡­ On Weibo. Almost at the same time as Hu Chuan told Lin Fan about the award¡­ Nation Daily: [Congratulations to Lin Fan of Jiangbei University for winning the Fields Medal.] Rollie: [How many times has the Nation Daily congratulated Professor Lin? Professor Lin is awesome!] Stone Golem: [The fewer words, the bigger the matter!] Fireball: [Fields Medal! F*ck!] Nobody: [So, what¡¯s the Fields Medal? Can you give me a big explanation?] Man-Eating Bug: [The Fields Medal seems to be a mathematics award.] Shadowless Kick: [Isn¡¯t it just a Fields Medal? It¡¯s not like it¡¯s a Nobel Prize. There¡¯s no need to be so excited, right?] Madman: [Don¡¯t be excited? People often say that the average undergraduate acceptance rate is less than 3%, and I¡¯ve seen it for myself now. [Let me give everyone a brief introduction. [There is no Nobel Prize in mathematics! [The Fields Medal is the most prestigious award in the mathematics world, and it¡¯s also known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics! [In addition, Professor Lin is also the first person from Hua Nation to win the Fields Medal!] Mr. Mo: [God Lin is awesome!] Nine Heavens Essence: [God Lin is awesome!] Silent Smile: [God Lin is awesome!] ¡­ Soon, the words ¡®God Lin is awesome¡¯ were pushed to the top of the trending searches. Lin Fan did not care about any of this. For the next few days, he went to school and Coiling Dragon Villa as usual. Today, after eating breakfast, he drove the Cullinan straight to the airport. That was because today was the day they were going to Barney. When Lin Fan arrived at the airport, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, Hao Zhiwu, and the others were already waiting there. ¡°Professor Lin!¡± After greeting each other, everyone boarded the luxury plane of Xia Airlines under Lin Fan¡¯s lead. When Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, Hao Zhiwu, and the others saw a row of beautiful air stewardesses lining up to welcome them and tasted the luxurious delicacies on the luxury plane¡­ They could not help but praise. Liu Qianqian could not help but look at the tall and handsome Lin Fan. He could play basketball, was handsome, and knowledgeable¡­ Moreover, he was so rich! He was simply a perfect male god! No wonder even though Xia Bing and Xia Xue knew that Lin Fan had a girlfriend, they did not care. At this moment, Lin Fan placed a plate of lobsters in front of Xia Bing and Xia Xue and said, ¡°The lobsters taste good. Try them.¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue were like children who had received a reward. Their faces were filled with happy smiles. Seeing this¡­ Liu Qianqian could not help but look envious. Even Liu Qianqian did not realize that she had strongly opposed it at the beginning but was slowly accepting it. Now, she was actually envious. ¡­ When they arrived at Barney, two Rolls-Royce were already waiting at the airport. Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, Hao Zhiwu, and the others enjoyed the luxurious experience brought by Rolls-Royce. Their eyes kept looking at the unique buildings outside, and they sighed from time to time. Soon, they arrived at Barney Shangri-La Hotel. Barney Shangri-La Hotel had a different style compared to the Shangri-La in Hua Nation. Most of the domestic styles were modern, while the ones here were European and American. Unique statues, castle-like outer walls¡­ Under the lead of the attendant, Lin Fan, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, Hao Zhiwu, Liu Qianqian, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, and the others were brought to six luxurious presidential suites. The reason why there were six rooms was because Xia Bing and Xia Xue wanted to stay together. When one pulled open the curtains and looked out, one could see the tall and large Avenue de la Champs-Elysees. After putting down their luggage, Lin Fan brought everyone to LAE, a Michelin 2-star restaurant. Everyone ate the juicy foie gras, the beautiful M9 beef, and the crispy and delicious snacks¡­ After unloading their luggage and tasting the delicious food¡­ Lin Fan brought everyone to the spa. Enjoying the soft massage, everyone almost cried out in pleasure. ¡°I¡¯ll study harder when I get back!¡± Hao Zhiwu said immediately. ¡°You¡¯re not gonna play with the gaming helmet anymore?¡± Jiang Chaoqun asked. ¡°What¡¯s gaming? That¡¯s just a stumbling block that¡¯s stopping me from learning!¡± Hao Zhiwu said seriously. ¡°Why did you suddenly have such thoughts?¡± Nie Zhenjiang asked in confusion. ¡°Because only by studying hard can we have more opportunities to enjoy everything we had today!¡± Lin Fan, who was walking in front, had a weird expression on his face when he heard Hao Zhiwu¡¯s words. He had brought him to eat, drink, and play, but it had aroused his desire to study hard? The sky gradually darkened. Xia Bing and Xia Xue sat quietly on the sofa. Their expressions were a little nervous, and their pretty faces were slightly red. That was because Lin Fan stayed next door. They were only separated by a wall! The first time¡­ This was the first time that they were so close to Lin Fan. They slowly raised their heads and looked at the wall. Then, they quickly lowered their heads. That appearance¡­ It was as if they were peeking at Lin Fan but were worried that they would be discovered. At this time, a crisp doorbell suddenly rang in Xia Bing and Xia Xue¡¯s presidential suite. Chapter 498 - 498 Twins; Change! 498 Twins; Change! The bell of the door scared Xia Bing and Xia Xue, who had just raised their heads. They hurriedly lowered their heads. Their pretty faces were even more flushed. After a while, they slowly got up and walked toward the door. The door slowly opened, and a tall and handsome figure immediately appeared in their field of vision. It was Lin Fan! Their eyes met. Xia Bing and Xia Xue were slightly stunned. Their beautiful eyes were like gemstones, emitting an incomparably gorgeous light. Perhaps it was because they felt the other party¡¯s hot breath, but in the next moment¡­ Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s faces immediately turned red like ripe tomatoes. They hurriedly lowered their heads. Their hearts were beating like drums. Lin Fan looked at their cute faces and could not help but laugh. ¡°Can I come in?¡± Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s hearts beat even more violently. They seemed to have used up all their strength before they could gently nod their little heads. Lin Fan did not stand on ceremony and walked in. Then, Xia Bing and Xia Xue hurriedly closed the door. Just as they closed the door, a beautiful figure appeared. It was Liu Qianqian. Originally, Liu Qianqian wanted to talk to Xia Bing and Xia Xue. After all, they were both women, and it was their first time going abroad. However, when her fingers were about to touch the doorbell, she slowly stopped and muttered, ¡°Did someone come here just now?¡± She thought for a moment, then withdrew her hand and returned to her room. ¡­ At this moment, in the presidential suite. Lin Fan walked up to the tall, bright window and looked at the dazzling Eiffel Tower in the distance. ¡°I¡¯ve long heard of the name of the Eiffel Tower. It looks pretty good with the night view.¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue looked out of the window. Their two pairs of beautiful eyes seemed to be reflected by the light of the Eiffel Tower, and they became extremely bright. At this moment, a gust of cool wind swept over from afar, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers. Xia Bing and Xia Xue could not help but sneeze. When Lin Fan heard this, he slowly closed the window and turned to look at Xia Bing and Xia Xue. Perhaps it was because the windows were closed, but the air in the room suddenly became a little stuffy. Perhaps, Lin Fan¡¯s gaze was too fiery¡­ Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s pretty faces gradually became redder. Lin Fan could not help but use his Eyes of Truth to look at the two of them. [Appearance: 95] [Favorability: 99] [Appearance: 95] ¡°You guys¡­¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue seemed to have thought of something. They hurriedly took out a bottle of energy drink each and handed them to Lin Fan. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan smiled and asked, ¡°Where did you guys buy these?¡± After all, this was Barney, not Hua Nation. Xia Bing and Xia Xue said in unison, ¡°O-Outside.¡± Lin Fan could not help but think back to the time when the two of them had gone out hurriedly after their meal. They had probably gone out to buy the energy drinks. Lin Fan took the two bottles and drank a mouthful of each. Seeing this¡­ A sweet smile immediately appeared on Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s pretty faces. Lin Fan looked at their smiles and could not help but think back to how they insisted on waiting at the basketball court every day. He recalled how they wanted to chat with him but did not dare to send him a message. Therefore, they wrote messages in the chat box every day¡­ He thought of how happy they looked as if they had eaten honey whenever he praised them. He could not help but raise his arm and gently stroke Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s hair. He slowly moved his head toward their beautiful faces. In an instant, the redness on their faces quickly spread to their ears, necks, arms, and legs¡­ It continued to spread. Soon, Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s bodies were completely red. Then, they fell straight onto the sofa. Lin Fan shouted, ¡°Xia Bing! Xia Xue!¡± However, no matter how he shouted, the two of them did not respond. Lin Fan hurriedly placed his hands on Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s hands. He could only feel that the two people¡¯s pulses were beating at a speed of several times per second. Sun Simiao, the King of Medicine, had saved thousands of people in his life! It could be said that Lin Fan had a wealth of medical experience. Lin Fan had Sun Simiao¡¯s Medical Experience, but after taking Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s pulse, he could not help but be surprised. Without any hesitation, he spent 20 million yuan to exchange for two bottles of Medical Water from the system and quickly poured them into their mouths. After the Medical Water was consumed, the fiery red color on Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s bodies slowly faded, and their pulses gradually returned to normal. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief. In the past, patients would wake up very quickly after drinking a bottle of Medical Water. However, this time, Xia Bing and Xia Xue showed no signs of opening their eyes. Lin Fan prepared to carry them to bed to rest. However, when he picked up Xia Bing, who was the closest to him, her entire body turned red again. Lin Fan had no choice but to quickly put her down. He spent another ten million yuan to exchange for a bottle of Medical Water and poured it into Xia Bing¡¯s mouth. Only then did Xia Bing¡¯s body return to normal. Lin Fan understood that he could not hug them anymore. Hence, he took out a blanket and covered the two of them. In order to prevent any accidents, Lin Fan did not leave. He sat on another soft sofa and played with his phone. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. When a few birds flew past outside, the eyelashes of Xia Bing and Xia Xue, who were asleep, fluttered. Then, the two of them slowly opened their eyes. They looked at the spacious living room and were at a loss for what to do. However, when Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s gazes landed on Lin Fan, they immediately recalled the scene of Lin Fan¡¯s head coming close. Their faces instantly turned red. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Last night, Lin Fan did not sleep. However, with his extraordinary physique, he was not affected at all. He was still in high spirits. Xia Bing and Xia Xue buried their heads and nodded hard. They said softly, ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Lin Fan looked at their shy faces. He knew that if he stayed here, they would never be able to adapt. ¡°Then go wash up first. We¡¯ll go downstairs for breakfast later.¡± After saying that, he walked out. Just as Lin Fan opened the door, a beautiful figure appeared at the door. It was Liu Qianqian. Chapter 499 - 499 Strolling Around; Meeting an Acquaintance! 499 Strolling Around; Meeting an Acquaintance! Liu Qianqian looked at Lin Fan in front of her and then at Xia Bing and Xia Xue, who were lying on the sofa with their faces flushed red¡­ Then, she thought of last night. She vaguely saw Lin Fan walk into Xia Bing and Xia Xue¡¯s room. Could it be¡­ Did Lin Fan stay with Xia Bing and Xia Xue for an entire night? Instantly, images unsuitable for children appeared in Liu Qianqian¡¯s mind. A blush appeared on her pretty face. Then, Liu Qianqian ran back to her room without greeting Lin Fan. Lin Fan looked at her back and shut his mouth. He muttered, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Of course, Lin Fan did not care too much. He shrugged and returned to his presidential suite. After taking a refreshing shower, he slowly opened the door. At this moment, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, and Hao Zhiwu were standing in the corridor. As usual, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, and Hao Zhiwu shouted, ¡°Good morning, Professor Lin.¡± Among them, Hao Zhiwu¡¯s voice was the loudest and most excited. After all, this was his first night abroad! He even stayed in the presidential suite of the Shangri-La Hotel and experienced a luxury he had never experienced before. Xia Bing and Xia Xue blushed and buried their small heads. They said softly, ¡°Good morning, Professor Lin.¡± Liu Qianqian¡¯s voice was also very soft, and her face was still blushing. However, her mentality was different from Xia Bing and Xia Xue. She was trying to hide her reaction. Regarding this¡­ Lin Fan did not mind at all. He nodded and said, ¡°Good morning. Let¡¯s have breakfast together.¡± The breakfast at Barney Shangri-La Hotel was also very sumptuous. Exquisite pastries, M5 beef, natural corn, sweet potatoes, seafood noodles, ham, fragrant bread, and toast¡­ Everyone was very satisfied. The Fields Medal ceremony would be held tomorrow. Today was the day for everyone to hang out around Barney. Lin Fan glanced at Hao Zhiwu, Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, and Jiang Chaoqun, who were walking out of the Shangri-La Hotel and looking around curiously. They looked like children who had just learned how to walk. They were filled with curiosity about everything that was unfamiliar to them. However, they were worried that Lin Fan would blame them. Therefore, they could only suppress their curiosity and follow behind Lin Fan quietly. Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°You guys don¡¯t have to follow me around. Just go around. Of course, don¡¯t get lost.¡± Lin Fan had said that they could treat him as a peer when they were outside, and it was indeed a fact, but how could they really? After all, Lin Fan was their teacher, a genius professor who was known throughout the world! Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, Hao Zhiwu, and the others all looked happy when they heard that. They replied, ¡°Alright.¡± Then, everyone walked into the distance. Lin Fan shook his head and started to stroll around this unfamiliar city. Barney was indeed an international metropolis. Perhaps the city looked similar to Jiangbei. However, when one was in Jiangbei, one only had the chance to see luxury brands such as LV, Gucci, Chanel, Cartier, Versace, and so on in some high-end shopping malls. On Barney¡¯s streets, these luxury brands could be seen everywhere. Lin Fan looked at Barney¡¯s unique buildings for a while and then walked on the winding sidewalk for a while. His gaze fell on the luxury stores. He muttered, ¡°I don¡¯t have anything to do anyway. I¡¯ll just buy some things. Consider it a souvenir for the students who came to Barney.¡± As he spoke, he walked straight into the nearest shop. ¡­ Compared to Lin Fan, who was walking calmly, Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, Hao Zhiwu, and the others kept looking around, occasionally letting out gasps of praise. ¡°Wow! Look, that place is so beautiful!¡± ¡°Come, take a photo of me.¡± ¡°I want to take photos too!¡± The few of them took photos as they walked. Not long after, they saw a long row of luxury stores. ¡°LV, Gucci, Versace¡­ A lot of luxury goods stores! ¡°Give me a close-up!¡± ¡­ ¡°Ta Ta Ta!¡± At this moment, a series of dull footsteps sounded not far away. A slightly pungent smell drifted over. ¡°Liu Qianqian?!¡± A woman in high heels as thick as a thumb called out in a slightly ear-piercing voice. She was holding a middle-aged man¡¯s arm. When Liu Qianqian heard this, she slowly turned around and said with uncertainty,¡± You¡¯re¡­ Wan Fei?¡± ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s me!¡± Wan Fei smiled. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here! We haven¡¯t seen each other for five or six years since we were separated into different classes in the first year of high school.¡± ¡°Yes, I am,¡± Liu Qianqian said happily. Even though Liu Qianqian and Wan Fei were not on very good terms in high school, they were still classmates, after all. It was very rare to meet a former classmate in a foreign country. ¡°Right, didn¡¯t I hear that you went to Xia Ke University?¡± Wan Fei asked. ¡°Why are you here in Barney?¡± Liu Qianqian said, ¡°I¡¯m not studying at Jiangbei University. My professor is here to receive an award, so my classmates and I are here to play.¡± Speaking of the professor, Liu Qianqian¡¯s face revealed a complicated expression of admiration, yearning, helplessness, and so on. Then, she introduced, ¡°Right, these are my classmates¡ªXia Bing, Xia Xue, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, and Hao Zhiwu.¡± ¡°Hello, we¡¯re Liu Qianqian¡¯s classmates.¡± Wan Fei nodded casually. ¡°So you¡¯re all students of Jiangbei University. No wonder you look so knowledgeable. ¡°Especially your professor. He must be very impressive to be able to come to Barney to receive an award.¡± Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, and Hao Zhiwu all nodded. Obviously, they all agreed with this statement. Lin Fan was indeed amazing! ¡°Oh right, why are you all standing on the road?¡± Wan Fei asked again. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the shops and buy some things.¡± ¡°When I was studying in the past, I always felt that things like Gucci and LV were all very expensive! Only now did I know that they aren¡¯t expensive at all! ¡°For example, this Chanel bracelet that my husband just bought for me only cost 50,000 yuan, and this LV bag only cost 80,000 yuan¡­ They¡¯re very cheap!¡± As she spoke, she deliberately waved the bracelet on her wrist and the bag on her shoulder. Then, she continued, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s go in and buy something. They¡¯re all so cheap anyway.¡± After saying that, her face revealed a hint of contempt that was difficult to detect. Chapter 500 - 500 Gift; Choice! (1) 500 Gift; Choice! (1) Tens of thousands for a bag? A bracelet? They were gonna go inside and shop themselves? Where would they get so much money? Liu Qianqian was about to speak. ¡°You¡¯re all students from a famous university,¡± Wan Fei said. ¡°You¡¯ll definitely have a high salary in the future. Even if you don¡¯t buy these things, you can take a look first. You can buy them later! ¡°It¡¯s rare to come to Barney, so it would be a pity if you didn¡¯t take a look. ¡°Your professor must have a high salary! If he¡¯s not with you, he might have gone to a luxury store. He might even buy you some luxury gifts¡­ Hehehe.¡± When she finished speaking, her entire body was shaking with laughter. Prestigious university students who would get high salaries after this? When she was studying, Wan Fei did have that opinion. However, after graduating and entering society¡­ She had long thrown this opinion to the back of her mind. Even graduates from famous universities only had a salary of 10,000 yuan. Her husband¡¯s company hired university students for a few thousand yuan a month. University students were completely worthless now. As for saying that their professor had a high salary, had gone shopping in luxury stores, and might even buy them luxury gifts¡­ She was joking! This was because Wan Fei had a certain understanding of the salary of a university professor. It was only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month. How could such a measly salary be enough to buy luxury goods? Not to mention luxury gifts! The reason why Wan Fei said so much and insisted that Liu Qianqian and the others go to the luxury stores with her was just to show off. Back in school, Liu Qianqian relied on her excellent grades and beautiful looks to become a campus belle. Now, Wan Fei wanted to let Liu Qianqian know that good grades were useless, and so was being pretty¡­ In the end, none of them could compare to her! She wanted to enjoy the thrill of stepping on Liu Qianqian. She wanted to see Liu Qianqian look up at her. ¡­ When Liu Qianqian and the others heard Wan Fei¡¯s words, their reactions were different. They all nodded. Their professor had a high salary? Well, that was for sure! For the past two days, they had been on a luxurious private jet and were picked up by a Rolls-Royce motorcade. They were staying in the presidential suites of the Shangri-La Hotel¡­ All of them could verify this point. In addition, they would just be browsing through the luxury stores. It did not seem like much. Wan Fei did not pay much attention to Liu Qianqian¡¯s thoughts. She held her hand and walked toward the Cartier store in front of her. ¡°Welcome to Cartier!¡± The graceful fair-skinned attendant at the door said in fluent English, ¡°May I know what you need?¡± Wan Fei said in broken English, ¡°Can you speak Chinese?¡± ¡°Of course, I can,¡± the attendant said in somewhat awkward Chinese. As Hua Nation became more and more powerful, and Lin Fan made great achievements in mathematics, chemistry, biology, physics, and other fields, the Chinese language had become one of the must-have languages for service staff in many international cities to learn. ¡°I¡¯m looking for a necklace.¡± The fair-skinned attendant sized up Wan Fei¡¯s clothes and could tell at a glance that most of her clothes were from low-end brands. Although the bracelet was from Chanel and the bag was from LV, they were only the lowest-end products of Chanel and LV. The fair-skinned attendant immediately understood Wan Fei¡¯s financial ability. Hence, she brought her to the lower-range products. It had to be said that the fair-skinned attendant had good eyesight. She took out a necklace and said, ¡°The main body of this necklace is made of platinum and inlaid with ten diamonds. It¡¯s very beautiful.¡± ¡°Ten diamonds! Oh, great!¡± Wan Fei asked, ¡°How much?¡± ¡°6,122 euros,¡± the fair-skinned attendant said. Wan Fei immediately praised, ¡°More than 6,000 euros. It¡¯s only about 40,000 yuan when converted. It¡¯s so beautiful and so cheap¡­ I¡¯ll buy it!¡± Then, she rubbed against the middle-aged man beside her and said, ¡°Hubby, help me put it on.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± The middle-aged man felt a little pained, but he still replied agreeably. After Wan Fei put on the necklace, she felt that her entire person was glowing, as if she had become a princess or queen. She felt incomparably noble. ¡°Liu Qianqian, hurry up and buy something too!¡± she said with a smile. ¡°This is a Cartier diamond necklace, and there are ten diamonds inlaid in it! It¡¯s only 40,000 yuan. If it was in Hua Nation, it might be 100,000 yuan! ¡°The more we buy now, the more we earn. Hurry up and buy something!¡± As she spoke, she deliberately showed off her Cartier necklace, Chanel bracelet, and LV bag¡­ Wan Fei wanted to see Liu Qianqian¡¯s envious and admiring gaze! Liu Qianqian was about to speak¡­ At this moment, there was the sound of brisk footsteps outside. A tall and handsome man strolled in. It was Lin Fan. The blonde attendant standing at the door sized Lin Fan up and said in fluent English, ¡°Welcome.¡± That was because the blonde attendant saw Lin Fan holding several Vacheron Constantin watch boxes in his hands. One had to know¡­ Vacheron Constantin was a top luxury watch. Any one of them would cost tens of thousands of euros! Moreover, from the appearance of the boxes that Lin Fan was carrying, they were not low-end models. They were high-end models that cost more than 100,000 euros! Chapter 501 - 501 Gift; Choice (2) 501 Gift; Choice (2) A big client! This was definitely a rare big client! Lin Fan nodded at the blonde attendant as a form of greeting. When he saw Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, and the others, he was slightly stunned and smiled. ¡°Why are you guys here?¡± ¡°Professor Lin!¡± Hao Zhiwu shouted excitedly. Xia Bing and Xia Xue said shyly, ¡°Professor Lin.¡± Wan Fei, who was about to continue showing off, looked at Lin Fan in confusion. ¡°Liu Qianqian, is that someone you know?¡± ¡°He¡¯s our professor,¡± Liu Qianqian explained. ¡°Professor? So young?¡± Wan Fei said in surprise. After all, most university professors were middle-aged and elderly people over the age of 40 or 50. How old was Lin Fan? He was only in his 20s. Lin Fan ignored her shock and said, ¡°It¡¯s rare for us to be overseas, so I bought you some small gifts. Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, and Hao Zhiwu, these are for the three of you.¡± As he spoke, he handed over three Vacheron Constantin watch boxes. ¡°A gift? Thank you, Professor!¡± Hao Zhiwu said excitedly. Then, he quickly opened the box and took out a well-made watch that looked very calm and fashionable. Hao Zhiwu fell in love with it at first glance. ¡°What a cool watch!¡± he praised sincerely. The blonde attendant¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Vacheron Constantin¡¯s Traditionelle! The market price was 150,000 euros! He casually gave away a watch worth 150,000 euros! As expected, this was a great customer! ¡°What a great watch!¡± At this time, Jiang Chaoqun also opened the watch box, revealing a low-key, luxurious watch. The blonde attendant looked over, and his heart skipped a beat. Vacheron Constantin 5370P! The market price was 150,000 euros! Another watch worth 150,000 yuan! ¡°What a beautiful watch!¡± Nie Zhenjiang took out his watch and praised. The blonde attendant looked over, and his heart raced again. Vacheron Constantin Lange 760! The market price was 150,000 euros! Someone with a watch worth 150,000 euros was a big client. What if it was someone who casually gave away three watches worth 150,000 euros? A god-level customer! This was definitely a god-tier customer that he rarely met in a year! The blonde attendant could not help but lower his body even more. The fair-skinned attendant not far away also bent down. It was all out of respect for the god-level customer. Wan Fei only knew LV, Gucci, Chanel¡­ She did not know much about Vacheron Constantin watches. She sneered and said, ¡°I said that your professor would buy gifts for you. Look, he¡¯s giving you a few watches. They look quite nice. They should be worth dozens or hundreds of euros, right?¡± When the fair-skinned and blonde attendants heard this, they all swept their sharp gazes over. Hundreds of euros? Was she mocking a god-level customer? If the god-level customer was unhappy because of this and left the shop, what should they do? One had to know¡­ Cartier stores had performance requirements. Only when the staff and the store achieved a certain level of performance could they get the corresponding commissions. Such a god-level customer would undoubtedly bring a lot of business to the staff and the shop. The middle-aged man hurriedly berated Wan Fei in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. Those watches are from Vacheron Constantin!¡± Obviously, he still had some understanding of watches. He understood that the other party must have extraordinary strength to casually give away three pieces of Vacheron Constantin. He definitely could not be easily offended. The middle-aged man saw that Wan Fei was still a little confused. He said again, ¡°The cheapest watch from Vacheron Constantin costs tens of thousands, or even more than a hundred thousand Chinese dollars!¡± ¡°What?¡± Wan Fei said in surprise. The cheapest watch was worth tens of thousands or even a hundred thousand yuan? He directly gave away three watches¡­ This¡­ However, when Wan Fei saw the LV bag by her waist, the Chanel bracelet on her wrist, and the Cartier necklace on her neck¡­ she slowly recovered. Were they not just three Vacheron Constantin watches? They must be the cheapest models! Her bag, bracelet, necklace¡­ They were all worth tens of thousands of yuan! Lin Fan ignored Wan Fei¡¯s thoughts and continued, ¡°Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Liu Qianqian, I¡¯ll buy your gifts from Cartier. Did you see anything you like?¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue kept their heads buried. Liu Qianqian shook her head gently. She had just learned the price of Cartier from Wan Fei, so she did not dare to like the things here. They were too expensive! Lin Fan turned to the blonde attendant and asked, ¡°Do you have any recommendations?¡± The blonde attendant hurriedly said in Chinese, ¡°Esteemed guest, this way, please.¡± He brought Lin Fan to the high-end area. Then, he took out a necklace. The long chain was inlaid with dense diamonds. Under the light, it was like a galaxy, shining with dazzling light. Coupled with the heart-shaped diamond pendant, it vaguely formed a heart-shaped galaxy. It was very beautiful. With just one glance, Liu Qianqian was stunned. Beautiful! It was too beautiful! ¡°This necklace is called the Heart of the Milky Way,¡± the blonde attendant introduced. ¡°It was made by the famous designer Brewer Kearns. The necklace is made up of 100 diamonds and a two-carat heart-shaped diamond. ¡°It¡¯s like a flowing galaxy. The heart is bright, symbolizing beautiful love¡­¡± ¡°The Heart of the Milky Way is priced at 182,000 euros.¡± Liu Qianqian, who was originally intoxicated by the necklace, immediately woke up when she heard the price. 182,000 euros! If converted, it was close to 1.3 million yuan! It was equivalent to a house! It was simply terrifying! Not only Liu Qianqian, but Hao Zhiwu, Nie Zhenjiang, and Jiang Chaoqun were also shocked by the price. Even Wan Fei, who had been showing off her LV bag and Chanel bracelet, was shocked. Lin Fan did not react at all. He easily noticed that Liu Qianqian liked the necklace and nodded slightly. Then, he pointed at Xia Bing and Xia Xue. He asked, ¡°Do they have any recommendations for them?¡± The blonde attendant looked at where Lin Fan was pointing and praised sincerely, ¡°What beautiful twins.¡± After thinking for a moment, he took out two bracelets from the cabinet. One was made of sapphire, pure and natural. Another was made of ruby, fiery and bright. The two were of the same style but different colors. They were like siblings, each with their own characteristics. ¡°These two bracelets are called the Blue Enchantress,¡± the blonde attendant explained. ¡°One bracelet is made of 19 small natural sapphires and one large natural sapphire, while the other is made of 19 natural rubies and one large natural ruby. All the gemstones have not been carved or modified. They are the most beautiful gifts of nature! ¡°The Blue Enchantress was discovered by the American scientific research team and later created by the Swiss designer, Maitreya. ¡°The blue enchantress flower symbolizes pure and innocent love. It¡¯s exactly the same as the bracelets. In fact, the bracelets even have a touch of unique beauty compared to the flower! ¡°In the past, I always thought that the Blue Enchantress would be sold to a certain customer so that she would display different charms in different clothes! ¡°Now, I feel that¡­ perhaps the Blue Enchantress was made for these two beauties.¡± It was unknown if it was because they had listened to the blonde attendant or because Xia Bing and Xia Xue really liked the bracelets. They looked at the bracelets with their beautiful eyes, and there was a faint light flashing in them. Obviously, they were very interested in the Blue Enchantress. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan nodded his head. At this time, the blonde attendant said, ¡°Because these gemstones are very rare, and they were made by Master Maitreya, the price of these two bracelets is relatively expensive. Each bracelet is priced at 390,000 euros.¡± Hiss! Everyone gasped when they heard this! 390,000 euros! If it was converted, that would be 2.8 million yuan! It would be 5.6 million yuan for two! This was definitely a terrifying number! Lin Fan¡¯s expression remained the same. He nodded again and said, ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll take this necklace and these two bracelets.¡± Lin Fan¡¯s voice was so relaxed and calm. It was as if he was just talking about buying two packets of tissues. He did not care at all. Chapter 502 - 502 Small Gifts; Inhumane! (1) 502 Small Gifts; Inhumane! (1) Lin Fan¡¯s tone was calm and relaxed. However, it made the ears of Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, and Hao Zhiwu buzz. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll pack up this necklace and these two bracelets.¡± Was he going to buy the Heart of the Milky Way which was priced at 182,000 euros and the Blue Enchantress that was priced at 390,000 euros? The total was 962,000 euros, which was close to seven million yuan! The blonde attendant was also slightly stunned. t was too fast! From the moment Lin Fan walked into the Cartier store until now, less than three minutes had passed. In three minutes, he had only briefly introduced the products. Did Lin Fan decide to buy them just like that? The blonde attendant had served many big customers before, but he had never seen a customer make a decision so quickly. After all, this involved nearly a million euros! Wan Fei was the first to react. She sneered and said, ¡°Liu Qianqian, your professor must be very interesting in class, right? He¡¯s making jokes so casually.¡± Obviously, she felt that Lin Fan had no intention of buying the Heart of the Milky Way and the Blue Enchantress. He was just joking. After all, the total value of these three pieces of jewelry was close to seven million yuan. In just a few words, he wanted to buy jewelry worth seven million yuan, and it was for his own students? How was this possible? When Wan Fei opened her mouth to speak, she finally pulled everyone¡¯s thoughts back to reality. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wrap them up for you now!¡± The blonde attendant said excitedly. Lin Fan waved his hand and said, ¡°No need to wrap them up. Just put the jewelry on them.¡± Liu Qianqian quickly said, ¡°Professor Lin, this is¡­ too precious of a gift.¡± Obviously, she did not care about Wan Fei¡¯s joke. Lin Fan said, ¡°Everyone gets a gift. It¡¯s just a little something.¡± The blonde attendant quickly brought the Heart of the Milky Way to Liu Qianqian and put it on her neck. ¡°Beautiful lady, your skin and figure are very good. You match the Heart of the Milky Way very well! It¡¯s perfect on you!¡± He understood that as long as Liu Qianqian agreed, this transaction of nearly one million euros would belong to him! Liu Qianqian wanted to reject him. However, she looked at the Heart of the Milky Way on her neck, which looked like starlight, and could not speak for a moment. The blonde attendant seized the time and put the Blue Enchantress on Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s wrists. He praised again, ¡°The bracelets have found their match!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll pay by card,¡± Lin Fan said directly. As he spoke, he handed over a bank card. ¡°Yes, Sir,¡± the blonde attendant said excitedly. After a soft beep¡­ The bill appeared. The card was successfully swiped! Nearly a million euros! Nearly seven million yuan! The transaction was successful! Instantly, 680 red packets appeared on Lin Fan¡¯s phone. ¡­ Only now did Wan Fei confirm that Lin Fan was not joking. He really did buy Cartier jewelry and give it to his students! ¡­ Lin Fan looked at Xia Bing and Xia Xue and asked, ¡°Do you like the bracelets?¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue nodded hard. ¡°Yes!¡± Even if Lin Fan gave them a piece of paper, they would still like it very much. Moreover, they did think that the bracelets were very beautiful. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°It¡¯s good that you like your gifts. Alright, you guys can continue shopping.¡± After saying that, he walked out. Liu Qianqian only retracted her gaze when Lin Fan completely disappeared from her sight. She turned to Wan Fei and said, ¡°Wan Fei, you were right. Our professor really bought us gifts.¡± As she spoke, Liu Qianqian gently stroked the two-carat heart-shaped diamond on the Heart of the Milky Way. Wan Fei said very unnaturally, ¡°Yes¡­ Yes.¡± Previously, Wan Fei deliberately boasted about her necklace, bracelet, and bag. She just wanted to trample Liu Qianqian under her feet and make her look up to her. In order to achieve her goal, she even said that Liu Qianqian¡¯s teacher would prepare luxurious gifts for the bunch. In the end, Liu Qianqian¡¯s teacher had really prepared gifts! Moreover, he had prepared luxurious gifts that cost more than a million yuan! When Wan Fei raised her head, she happened to see the dazzling Heart of the Milky Way necklace on Liu Qianqian¡¯s neck. Then, she secretly hid her Cartier necklace, Chanel bracelet, and LV bag behind her. After all, the ten items on her added together could not compare to one item of Liu Qianqian¡¯s. It was too embarrassing! ¡°F*ck! My watch is actually a Vacheron Constantin Traditionelle. It costs 1.5 million yuan in Hua Nation!¡± Hao Zhiwu shouted. Then, he said, ¡°I¡¯ll help you check too!¡± Hao Zhiwu shouted again. ¡°Jiang Chaoqun, your watch is a Vacheron Constantin 5370P. The domestic price is 1.58 million yuan! ¡°Nie Zhenjiang, your watch is a Vacheron Constantin Lange 760. The domestic price is 1.81 million yuan!¡± A series of screams shocked everyone. Originally, Jiang Chaoqun and Zhenjiang were just holding their watches casually with one hand. At this moment, they could not help but hug the watches tightly in their arms. Wan Fei, who was standing at the side, wished she could find a hole to hide in. She had just said that these few watches should be worth dozens or hundreds of dollars. In the end, they were each worth more than one million! Wan Fei felt as if her entire face had been slapped a few times. It hurt! It hurt! ¡­ Lin Fan was completely oblivious to all of this. He continued to shop at Chanel, Prada, Hermes, and other stores for a while. He bought some gifts for Hu Tian, Qin Yuxuan, Han Tian, Chu Yunyue, and the others. After spending about 50 million yuan, he returned to the Shangri-La Hotel. Chapter 503 - 503 Small Gifts; Inhumane! (2) 503 Small Gifts; Inhumane! (2) Lin Fan sat on the soft sofa in the presidential suite and took out his phone to browse. Soon after, he turned his attention to the 6,010 red packets. These red packets were the red packets he had received after shopping today. Lin Fan muttered, ¡°6,000 red packets. Let¡¯s see what I can get.¡± [Do you want to open all red packets?] ¡°Yes!] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 1,999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 51% of Shangri-La Group¡¯s shares.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 99 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received two yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 51% of Michelin Group¡¯s shares.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained a one yuan critical hit card.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 88 yuan.] ¡­ Out of the 6,010 red packets, Lin Fan received a total of 210,401 yuan. He chose to ignore this amount of money. Lin Fan had used the one yuan critical hit card several times. He could get 100 million yuan immediately after spending one yuan. It was not bad. 51% of Michelin Group¡¯s shares. Michelin Group¡¯s main business was tires, and its market value was about 140 billion yuan! 51% of the shares meant that he had obtained 70 billion yuan! As for money¡­ Lin Fan did not care anymore. More importantly, Michelin Group was not only famous for tires but also for its Michelin grading system for restaurants. Every Michelin-star restaurant was good, be it the environment or the taste. They were some of Lin Fan¡¯s favorite restaurants. Now, the entire Michelin Group belonged to him? ¡­ Finally, Lin Fan¡¯s attention fell on the 51% shares of Shangri-La Group. The Shangri-La Group¡¯s market value was about 30 billion yuan, and 51% of the shares were about 15 billion yuan. Besides, the place he was staying at right now was the Shangri-La Hotel? After staying for two days, he was given the hotel directly? Lin Fan rubbed his nose and smiled. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. Today, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, Hao Zhiwu, Jiang Chaoqun, and the others all woke up very early. That was because¡­ Today was the day their professor, Lin Fan, would accept the Fields Medal! After washing up, they were all in high spirits. They waited excitedly in front of the door of Lin Fan¡¯s presidential suite. A moment later, Lin Fan finally opened the door slowly. ¡°Good morning, Professor Lin,¡± everyone said in unison. in Fan nodded. ¡°Good morning.¡± Then, they went to the dining area and had a sumptuous breakfast. After that, everyone took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor. It was also at this moment that a large group of men and women in suits and leather shoes walked over quickly. It was not surprising that there were people in suits at the Shangri-La Hotel. After all, this was one of the top hotels in Barney. Hao Zhiwu, Jiang Chaoqun, and the others thought that they were just ordinary guests like him. Therefore, they did not pay too much attention to them. However, this group of people in suits stopped in front of Lin Fan. Then, they greeted him in unison, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin!¡± Their voices were not loud. However, after gathering together, it still formed a rather loud sound which attracted the attention of everyone in the lobby. A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood at the front and said respectfully, ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m Li Hui, the chairman of Shangri-La Group. ¡°Thank you very much for your trust in our Shangri-La Group. I will definitely work hard with all the employees¡­ We¡¯ll be sure to strive to make Shangri-La Group better and better¡­ ¡°Mr. Lin, are you free? I¡¯d like to give you a report on the future development plan of Shangri-La Group and its financial situation over the years.¡± Shangri-La Group was founded by Li Hui. Yesterday, when he found out that 51% of Shangri-La Group¡¯s shares had been suddenly acquired, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He had mixed feelings and could not sleep the entire night. After all, Shangri-La Group was his life¡¯s work. Now, it had become someone else¡¯s. This made him doubt himself. He doubted whether it was right or wrong to expand, raise funds, and go public. However, it had to be said that Li Hui had a good ability to accept it. After a sigh, he quickly accepted reality. Therefore, he took a plane in the early morning and rushed to Barney overnight. He wanted to see the new boss of Shangri-La Group, Lin Fan, as soon as possible. He wanted to use his utmost sincerity to gain Lin Fan¡¯s goodwill and friendship as soon as possible so that Shangri-La Group could continue to develop. After Lin Fan heard Li Hui¡¯s words, he waved his hand and said, ¡°I won¡¯t ask or interfere with the specific matters of Shangri-La Group. You can plan your own development. I¡¯ll only receive dividends according to the shares. ¡°So, you don¡¯t have to report to me.¡± Even though Li Hui had already experienced countless storms and had already reached the point where his emotions were not easily stirred, his face revealed unconcealable excitement after hearing Lin Fan¡¯s words. He would not interfere with the specific matters of Shangri-La Group! He would only wait to receive the dividends! Would this not be¡­ no different from the previous circulating shares? Shangri-La Group¡¯s route would not deviate! After a while, Li Hui tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart and said, ¡°Yes, Mr. Lin!¡± Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s all for now. I have something to do later, so I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± After saying that, he strode forward. Li Hui quickly looked at Lin Fan¡¯s back and said respectfully, ¡°Goodbye, Mr. Lin.¡± After they walked out of the Shangri-La Hotel, Hao Zhiwu could not help but ask, ¡°Professor Lin, is that the chairman of the Shangri-La Hotel?¡± Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been staying here for the past two days, so I got 51% of Shangri-La Group¡¯s shares.¡± His tone was very relaxed and indifferent. However, it sounded like thunder in the ears of Hao Zhiwu, Jiang Chaoqun, Nie Zhenjiang, and Liu Qianqian. What did they hear? He enjoyed his stay here for the past two days, so got 51% of Shangri-La Group¡¯s shares? Although they did not know the exact market value of Shangri-La Group, based on the reputation of the Shangri-La Hotel, it should be at least tens of billions of yuan, right? Lin Fan stayed here for two days and spent tens of billions of yuan to buy half of the group? This¡­ This¡­ It was simply inhumane! Everyone stood rooted to the ground, staring at Lin Fan¡¯s back in a daze. Lin Fan did not explain that he did not spend tens of billions to buy 51% of Shangri-La Group¡¯s shares. Instead, he opened a red packet. Of course, even if he explained, they would not believe him. At this moment, Hao Zhiwu suddenly shouted, ¡°I want to study harder! Gaming? Movies? Music? None of them can stop me from learning! ¡°I want to become like Professor Lin!¡± After saying that, he hurriedly ran forward. After hearing Hao Zhiwu¡¯s words, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, and the others gradually came back to their senses and followed him. ¡­ At this moment, two Rolls-Royce were already waiting at the door. Lin Fan, Xia Bing, and Xia Xue sat in the first Rolls-Royce. As the car door slowly closed, the air immediately became hot. For some reason, Xia Bing and Xia Xue suddenly recalled the day before yesterday when Lin Fan had come to their room. They recalled the atmosphere at that time and the scene of Lin Fan sticking his head in. Therefore, Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s two pretty faces were like ripe tomatoes, completely red. Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, Hao Zhiwu, and Nie Zhenjiang sat in the second Rolls-Royce. Hao Zhiwu looked at the watch on his wrist, and the word ¡®study¡¯ seemed to be jumping in his eyes. He immediately took out his phone and opened the biology question bank. Looking at the complicated questions on it, he muttered, ¡°It¡¯s rare for me to be abroad. I¡¯ll just study hard when I go back. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll do that!¡± After saying that, Hao Zhiwu closed the biology question bank, put on his headphones, and listened to brisk music. Chapter 504 - 504 Award Ceremony; IN Physics Research Institute! (1) 504 Award Ceremony; IN Physics Research Institute! (1) The two Rolls-Royce slowly drove on the wide road, passing by the world-famous Tour de France, the European-style Sacre Coeur, the romantic opera house, and the historical Versailles Palace. Finally, they arrived at Barney University. Whether it was abroad or in Hua Nation, as long as it was a school, it would be filled with a special sense of youth and vitality. Soon, two Rolls-Royce parked in front of Auditorium 1. Only during extremely large-scale and important events would Auditorium 1 be put into use. However, such large-scale events were only held a few times a year. As a result, Auditorium 1 was closed all year round. Obviously, the Fields Medal was an extremely large-scale and important event. Therefore, the doors of Auditorium 1 were opened early in the morning. There were all kinds of bright flowers placed at the door, making it very festive. At this moment, groups of people with different skin colors were chatting as they walked in. ¡°Professor Wyker, I didn¡¯t expect you to come.¡± ¡°Of course! After all, this is the Fields Medal Award Ceremony, the highest honor in the mathematics world! In particular, the award will be given to the person who solved Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis!¡± ¡°Not only that! I remember that the youngest winner so far is 26 years old, right? Professor Lin is breaking that record.¡± ¡°We¡¯re witnessing history today!¡± ¡°Not bad!¡± ¡­ Auditorium 1 had a total of 3,650 seats. Generally speaking, it was difficult to fill it up even if some opera galas were held. At this moment, everyone was seated. Among them were mathematics professors from the University of Oxford, Hemp Rope University, and Princeton University. There were also many big names who had retired from the academic world for many years. It was no exaggeration to say that if everyone present suddenly disappeared, then the entire world of mathematics would go back by at least 30 years! Amidst everyone¡¯s discussion and anticipation, a tall and handsome figure slowly walked in. It was Lin Fan! An old man with silver-rimmed glasses and a head full of flowery hair hurriedly came forward and said in English, ¡°Professor Lin, welcome to Barney University. I¡¯m the principal of Barney University, Wittens.¡± As he spoke, he took the initiative to stretch out his right hand. Lin Fan stretched out his hand and said in Chinese, ¡°Thank you.¡± Even though Wittens had heard that Lin Fan only spoke Chinese, he could not help but feel helpless when he heard it. Then, he could only stutter in awkward Chinese as he had just recently started learning the language, ¡°P-Professor, please¡­¡± As he spoke, he pointed at the stage. Lin Fan understood what he meant and nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± Under the gaze of thousands of people, Lin Fan slowly walked onto the stage. Seeing this¡­ Wittens let out a long sigh of relief and followed him to the stage. He picked up the microphone and said in fluent English, ¡°I¡¯m very happy and honored to host this year¡¯s Fields Medal ceremony! ¡°If mathematics is a mysterious maze, then the Fields Medal is the most dazzling gem buried in the maze! ¡°Therefore, on behalf of all mathematics enthusiasts, please allow me to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Fields! ¡°It was Mr. Fields who gave our mathematics more vitality. He gave us the motivation to explore and strive for it. ¡°Today, according to Mr. Fields¡¯ wishes and the selection of many mathematicians, a very young and excellent mathematician has been selected to win this year¡¯s Fields Medal! ¡°He solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture in just one month. He also solved Hail¡¯s Conjecture and Hodge¡¯s Conjecture in two months! ¡°Not long ago, he solved Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis! ¡°His name is Lin Fan!¡± As soon as Wittens finished speaking, thunderous applause immediately rang out, causing the entire auditorium to shake. Then, Wittens held the certificate and the medal and came in front of Lin Fan. ¡°Congratulations, Lin Fan!¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± Lin Fan said. Most of the people present took out their phones or cameras and took photos and videos of Lin Fan receiving the certificate and medal. They wanted to keep this scene forever. It was a historic scene! They had to treasure this chance well! However, they did not know that no matter if they took photos or videos, they would not be able to keep them. Lin Fan did not want his appearance to be exposed by the media. And he had a super smart watch. After a long time, the sound of people taking photos and the applause slowly stopped. Lin Fan picked up the microphone and said, ¡°Thank you, everyone.¡± Even though Lin Fan was speaking Chinese and most of the people present did not understand, they still raised their heads, looking forward to Lin Fan¡¯s speech. However¡­ The next moment, Lin Fan picked up his certificate and medal and walked off the stage. Seeing this, everyone was stunned. W-What was going on? Wittens hurriedly said in Chinese, ¡°P-Professor Lin, you want to¡­ What do you¡­ What?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already received the award,¡± said Lin Fan. After a pause, he said, ¡°I¡¯m done speaking.¡± Chapter 505 - 505 Award Ceremony; IN Physics Research Institute! (2) 505 Award Ceremony; IN Physics Research Institute! (2) After saying that, he walked out of the auditorium. Only Wittens and the crowd were left, looking at each other in dismay. He left? He received a medal and a certificate¡­ Then, he left? Should he not be emotional and sigh for a while longer? Should he not be giving his blessings to the new mathematicians? Should he not release new conjectures and new problems? This¡­ Lin Fan had left too quickly and too suddenly. For a moment, everyone was unable to react, causing the entire auditorium to fall into a short silence. After a while, someone said hesitantly, ¡°Is it¡­ over?¡± ¡°I¡­ think so?¡± After all, the Fields Medal winner had already left. If this was not the end yet, what was? Everyone present stared at each other. They were at a loss. This was the Fields Medal Award Ceremony! It ended just like that? History¡­ They had witnessed it just like that? Everyone touched their phones and cameras and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s alright¡­ I took photos and videos to record this scene. It wasn¡¯t a wasted trip.¡± When they opened the photos and videos, they were stunned again. That was because there were no more images of Lin Fan! ¡­ In fact. Wittens and the others were not the only ones who were stunned and in disbelief. Hao Zhiwu, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, Liu Qianqian, and the other students were also stunned. They were Chinese, so they naturally understood what Lin Fan said on stage. It was also because of this that they were even more stunned. One had to know¡­ This was the stage for the Fields Medal! A simple thank you and he left? Even when Lin Fan walked out of the auditorium, they had not reacted. ¡­ Lin Fan casually threw the medal and certificate into his pocket and did not even look at them. He did not care about the Fields Medal. Therefore, he was too lazy to say anything. If it was not for the fact that he had to win an international award for his mission, Lin Fan would not even have thought of winning it. [Mission: Win five international awards (2/5). Reward: 5 golden packets.] The last international award was the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Award. This was the Fields Medal. As long as he won three more international awards, he would be able to complete the mission. Lin Fan curled his lips and thought, ¡®It should be soon.¡¯ He was one step closer to completing the mission, and his mood was much better. Lin Fan got into the Rolls-Royce and said, ¡°To the IN Physics Institute.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± the driver said respectfully. He was a full-time driver at the Shangri-La Hotel and only served the distinguished guests who booked the presidential suite. On the first day, the driver was very respectful to Lin Fan. That was because he knew that Lin Fan had booked five presidential suites. He understood that Lin Fan was an absolute existence. Today, the driver found out that Lin Fan had become the biggest shareholder of Shangri-La Group. This made the driver even more respectful toward Lin Fan. The IN Physics Institute was not too far away from Barney University. They drove past the clear Seine and the ancient Cathedral of Notre Dame¡­ Then, they crossed a few streets. Finally, they arrived in front of a huge building in the suburbs. This¡­ It was the IN Physics Research Institute! When the Rolls-Royce stopped at the door, a security guard quickly walked over. ¡°Hello, may I help you?¡± he asked in fluent English. The security guard¡¯s eyes were sharp, and his body was strong. Obviously, he was not like some security guards who just ate and drank. Instead, he had real capabilities. ¡°I have an appointment with Director Jimmy,¡± Lin Fan said. When the security guard heard this, his figure became slightly solemn. He then said in Chinese, ¡°Then please contact Director Jimmy.¡± It had to be said that the IN Physics Research Institute was indeed extraordinary. Even the security guards knew Chinese. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± Then, he dialed Director Jimmy¡¯s number. After a while, the call was connected, and a slightly hoarse voice came from the other end. ¡°H-Hello, Professor Lin.¡± Yesterday, Lin Fan obtained Jimmy¡¯s contact information through his super smart watch. He had also called him and made an appointment to meet him today. This was because the IN Physics Institute had multiple versions of the Totamac device. Obtaining a Totamac device was one of the conditions to complete his mission. In fact, this was also one of the reasons why Lin Fan came to Barney to receive the award. As the director of the IN Physics Research Institute, Jimmy had a very high status in the physics academic world. He was not someone that ordinary people could meet. As for Lin Fan, he was no ordinary person. Physics and mathematics were inseparable. Just Lin Fan¡¯s answers to Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, Hail¡¯s Conjecture, Hodge¡¯s Conjecture, and Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis were enough for Jimmy to take Lin Fan seriously. Moreover¡­ Lin Fan even invented the earthquake prediction device, a high-tech product in the field of physics. ¡°Director Jimmy, I¡¯m already at the entrance of the IN Physics Research Institute.¡± Jimmy was surprised. ¡°Professor Lin, aren¡¯t you receiving the Fields Medal today? It ended so quickly?¡± Physics and mathematics were not separated. If it was not for the fact that he had some matters to attend to in the morning, Jimmy would surely go to witness the grand award ceremony in person. ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan replied. ¡°Please wait a moment,¡± Jimmy said. ¡°I¡¯ll come to the door to pick you up.¡± Just as he hung up, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. 12:00 PM! The red packets were here! In his boredom, he clicked on the red packets. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a random rebate card.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five yuan.] ¡­ This time, Lin Fan received a total of 31,219 yuan. He naturally did not care about this bit of money. His gaze immediately fell on the random rebate card. [Random rebate card: After spending, you¡¯ll receive a random amount of money.] Lin Fan muttered in his heart, ¡®This is similar to the one yuan critical hit card.¡¯ At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz drove out from inside. ¡°Hello, Professor Lin.¡± The bald, fair-skinned middle-aged man took the initiative to extend his hand. ¡°Hello, Director Jimmy.¡± Lin Fan stretched out his hand. ¡± I heard that you were very young, but after seeing you today, I¡¯m still shocked.¡± He was definitely not complimenting him. It was the truth. A scholar¡¯s golden age was 30 to 50 years old. Lin Fan was only in his 20s. His future achievements were unimaginable! ¡°Professor Lin, please come in!¡± Jimmy said. The IN Physics Institute was involved in the nuclear fusion project. Ordinary people were not allowed to enter casually. However, Lin Fan was a mathematician, a great physicist, a great biologist, and a great physicist¡­ He had some special privileges. The two of them crossed the spacious grassland and walked through the winding green path before arriving in front of a tall building. ¡°This is the superconductivity physics section of our IN Physics Institute,¡± Jimmy introduced. ¡°That¡¯s the power research area¡­ ¡°The new materials research area is in front¡­¡± Every time he mentioned a place, Jimmy¡¯s tone was filled with pride. However, Lin Fan was not interested in listening. In fact, he had already lost the intention to continue listening. He interrupted, ¡°I want to buy one of your IN Physics Institute¡¯s Totamac devices.¡± Jimmy was stunned for a moment. After a while, he laughed. ¡°Professor Lin, you sure like to joke. The Totamac device is not for sale.¡± ¡°100 million euros!¡± Lin Fan acted like he did not hear him and said. Even though Jimmy was the director of the IN Physics Institute and even though he had handled a large amount of money, his heart could not help but beat faster when he heard the price of 100 million euros. 100 million euros. This was definitely a terrifying number! Jimmy swallowed hard and said, ¡°To be honest, I¡¯m very tempted, but I¡¯m just a director. I can¡¯t decide to sell the Totamac device¡­¡± Lin Fan acted like he did not hear anything and said calmly, ¡°200 million euros.¡± Chapter 506 - 506 Cooperation; Surprise! 506 Cooperation; Surprise! Jimmy¡¯s body slightly stiffened as he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something. At this moment, Lin Fan said, ¡°300 million euros!¡± Jimmy¡¯s mouth was half open, and he did not know what to say. Lin Fan said again, ¡°500 million euros!¡± ¡°One billion euros!¡± Even though Lin Fan¡¯s voice was extremely calm, it sounded like thunder in Jimmy¡¯s ears. Rumbling sounds continued! One had to know¡­ One billion euros, if converted, was seven billion yuan! This was definitely a terrifying number. It was so terrifying that it was enough to support the IN Physics Research Institute to carry out several large research projects! Lin Fan saw that Jimmy still had not replied. He could not help but frown impatiently. It was this frown that instantly pulled Jimmy back to reality. ¡°Professor Lin, is it really just any Totamac device?¡± he asked hurriedly. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°One billion euros?¡± Jimmy said. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Deal!¡± Jimmy said immediately. ¡°Aren¡¯t you just a director?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Can you decide whether to sell the Totamac device? Why don¡¯t I go to your superiors directly?¡± Jimmy said hurriedly, ¡°Proffesor Lin, you might not know this, but I have a good relationship with the director of the Academy of Sciences. I guarantee that I¡¯ll be able to reach a purchase contract with you very soon.¡± In his opinion, this transaction was extremely profitable and could make great contributions! What if Lin Fan went to find someone else? Then, would the profits and credit not all become someone else¡¯s? Lin Fan did not care about Jimmy¡¯s thoughts at all. As long as he could buy the Totamac device, it would be fine. Jimmy introduced Lin Fan to the two directors of the Academy of Sciences. After a short exchange, both parties successfully signed the contract. Lin Fan then paid seven billion yuan. [Ding! Do you want to use the random rebate card?] Lin Fan¡¯s expression shifted slightly as he thought to himself, ¡®Use it!¡¯ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a 2x rebate.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 14 billion yuan.] Then¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 140,000,000,00 yuan was deposited into your account.] Seeing this¡­ Even Lin Fan could not help but curl his lips up. He spent seven billion and earned 14 billion! However, to Lin Fan, the money had already become a string of numbers. It was just very pleasant to see the number continue to increase. Jimmy and the two directors of the Academy of Sciences were in a good mood when they saw that the contract had been signed and the one billion euros had been transferred to their accounts. That was because they were selling a second-generation Totamac device. One had to know¡­ The IN Physics Institute had already developed the fifth generation of the Totamac device. The second-generation technology was completely outdated and obsolete. There was no need to worry about anyone stealing it. In their eyes, the second generation of the Totamac device was just a pile of useless junk. Now, they had exchanged a pile of junk for one billion euros. This one billion euros could be used to research and perfect the fifth-generation Totamac device. This was definitely a very cost-effective deal. This was a huge contribution! ¡°Professor Lin, do you want to have a meal together later?¡± Jimmy said with a smile. Lin Fan said, ¡°No, I still have something to do. I¡¯ll leave first.¡± After all, he was only here to buy a Totamac device. Now that the purchase was successful, there was no reason for him to continue staying at the IN Physics Research Institute. Lin Fan took a Rolls-Royce and returned to Shangri-La Hotel. Although Lin Fan had already said that he would only take the dividends and he would not manage the specific matters of Shangri-La Group, Chairman Li Hui was still very respectful. He personally waited at the entrance of the hotel and took the initiative to help Lin Fan open the car door. He nodded and bowed, asking about his well-being. How did he look like the chairman? He was simply the humblest servant. He was absolutely respectful to Lin Fan. This made Lin Fan feel completely at ease as he handed over Shangri-La Group to him to build and develop. Although Li Hui knew that Lin Fan could let him develop Shangri-La Group on his own¡­ At the same time, Lin Fan could also completely change the development path of Shangri-La Group with one sentence. Lin Fan could even kick himself out. Lin Fan owned too many shares of Shangri-La Group. Lin Fan did not care about what Li Hui was thinking. Facing Li Hui¡¯s actions like a humble servant, he remained the same. At this moment, Hao Zhiwu, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, and Liu Qianqian walked over from afar. When they saw Lin Fan, their faces were filled with excitement. ¡°Hello, Professor Lin!¡± they shouted in unison. Then, Hao Zhiwu said excitedly, ¡°Professor Lin, why didn¡¯t you stay on the stage of Barney University¡¯s Auditorium 1 and say a few more words? You don¡¯t know how cool you were just now!¡± When he said this, his entire body danced with joy. It was as if the person standing on the stage to receive the award just now was not Lin Fan but him. Then, he sighed and said, ¡°Unfortunately, I forgot to record that scene.¡± In fact, Hao Zhiwu had pressed the camera function at that time. However, under the influence of the super smart watch, all the videos and photos were completely deleted. Hao Zhiwu thought that he had forgotten to record. He had a lot of regrets because of this matter. Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, and Liu Qianqian said, ¡°Professor Lin, congratulations on winning the Fields Medal!¡± Jiang Chaoqun sincerely wished him well. Liu Qianqian¡¯s voice had a different tone to it. Nie Zhenjiang sounded helpless. After all, Lin Fan had once fought with him on the same stage. Now, Lin Fan had won the highest award in the mathematics world, the Fields Medal! He was just an ordinary student. Xia Bing and Xia Xue whispered, ¡°Congratulations, Professor Lin.¡± After they finished speaking, their faces turned red. Li Hui, who had been standing at the side like a servant, was shocked when he heard what everyone said. What did he hear? Lin Fan won the Fields Medal? Although Li Hui was not from the academic world, as the founder and chairman of Shangri-La Group, the knowledge and experience he possessed were far beyond that of ordinary people. Li Hui knew that the Fields Medal was known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics. It was the highest honor in the mathematics world! Lin Fan, his new boss, got it? Who exactly was his new boss?! At this moment, in Li Hui¡¯s heart, Lin Fan¡¯s image suddenly became bigger, more majestic, and more mysterious! Lin Fan did not care about the thoughts and thoughts of the crowd. He only said a few words to the crowd before returning to his presidential suite. Then, his gaze fell on the 700,000 red packets on his phone. Chapter 507 - 507 Return; It’ll Be Successful as Long as It’s Built (1) 507 Return; It¡¯ll Be Successful as Long as It¡¯s Built (1) These 700,000 red packets¡­ Obviously, it was from the seven billion yuan he had spent to purchase the Totamac device. Lin Fan muttered, ¡°700,000 red packets. I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve ever accumulated so many red packets.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see what I can get.¡± At this point, even Lin Fan could not help but reveal a look of anticipation on his face. [Do you wish to open 700,000 red packets?] ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 9,999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a one yuan critical hit card.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the skill Poison Immunity.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a double shares coupon.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a Constitution Enhancement Potion.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a double shares coupon.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received Hearing Enhancement Potion.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 10% of Dahl Group¡¯s shares.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 10% of Dior¡¯s shares.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a double shares coupon.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a random rebate card.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 10% of Peugeot Group¡¯s shares.] ¡­ 700,000 red packets¡­ Lin Fan received a total of 1,940,300 yuan. This bit of money was not even worth what he got from breathing, sleeping, and walking every day, so he naturally did not care. He had obtained a total of four one-yuan critical hit cards. If he spent a total of four yuan, he would immediately receive 400 million yuan. Dahl Group was the largest oil company in the country, with a market value of about 140 billion US dollars, which was close to one trillion yuan. 10% of the shares were 100 billion yuan! Dior was a famous luxury goods company. Its jewelry and cosmetics products were world-famous. Its market value was about 20 billion US dollars, which was close to 140 billion yuan. 10% of the shares were 14 billion yuan! Peugeot Group was the largest car company in the country. At the same time, it was also one of the top ten car companies in the world. Its market value was 22 billion USD, which was about 150 billion yuan. 10% of the shares were 15 billion yuan! Lin Fan had used the random rebate card not long ago. After spending, he would randomly be given a refund. Lin Fan had spent seven billion previously, and he got 14 billion back. This was a pretty good thing. As for the double shares coupon, he could instantly increase his shares in a company one time. Even though money was just a string of numbers to Lin Fan, making the number a little bigger would also feel better. Therefore, he directly used the double shares coupon on Dahl Group. Instantly, Lin Fan owned 20% of Dahl Group¡¯s shares. At this moment, two bottles of potions appeared in front of Lin Fan. One bottle was transparent, while the other was light red. One of the bottles was a Constitution Enhancement Potion. Lin Fan had used it several times and had a good understanding of it. It could greatly increase the speed, constitution, strength, and so on. He did not hesitate too much and directly poured the potion into his mouth. After drinking the potion, his body felt slightly warm. Then, a surge of power surged into his heart. He did not try anything. He picked up the Hearing Enhancement Potion beside him and poured it into his mouth. Instantly, Lin Fan heard a soft sound in his ears. Then, he heard the pedestrians downstairs greeting each other, the sound of the river flowing in the distance, and the sound of sewer workers walking underground¡­ It was very magical. After that, Lin Fan turned his attention to the skill, Poison Immunity. [Poison Immunity: The ability to resist all poisons. Poison Immunity shows unlimited charm!] ¡­ In other words, after spending seven billion yuan, Lin Fan obtained 229 billion yuan worth of company shares, 430 million yuan in cash, a bottle of Constitution Enhancement Potion, a bottle of Hearing Enhancement Potion, and Poison Immunity. A great harvest! It was definitely a great harvest! Even Lin Fan could not help but smile. ¡­ The next day. Under the farewell of Shangri-La¡¯s chairman, Li Hui, and many senior executives and under the welcome of many beautiful air stewardesses of Xia Airlines¡­ Lin Fan, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Liu Qianqian, Hao Zhiwu, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, and the others took the luxury plane back to Jiangbei. In the next few days, Lin Fan went back and forth between the Coiling Dragon Villa and Jiangbei University as usual. On this day, Lin Fan was sitting in his office chair and playing with his phone. At this moment, Hao Zhiwu suddenly stood up. He held a stack of draft paper and excitedly came in front of Lin Fan. ¡°Professor Lin, what do you think of my answer to the third question?¡± ¡­ Lin Fan picked up the draft paper and flipped through it quickly. He nodded and said, ¡°Good answer.¡± It had to be said that Hao Zhiwu was quite capable. Once he put his heart into learning, he would be able to achieve results very quickly. Hao Zhiwu immediately smiled when he heard that. Perhaps because Xia Bing, Xia Xue, and Hao Zhiwu had completed the third question one after another, which caused Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, and the others to feel pressure. Perhaps, they were like Hao Zhiwu. After seeing Lin Fan¡¯s status and wealth, they became motivated. On the same day, Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, and Nie Zhenjiang also solved the third question. ¡°Professor Lin, we¡¯ve all solved the third question.¡± Hao Zhiwu could not help but laugh. ¡°Shall we go to the game world to celebrate?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that games are a stumbling block to your studies?¡± Liu Qianqian pouted. Chapter 508 - 508 Return; It’ll Be Successful as Long as It’s Built (2) 508 Return; It¡¯ll Be Successful as Long as It¡¯s Built (2) ¡°I think that only by balancing work and rest can we improve our learning efficiency!¡± Hao Zhiwu said righteously. Lin Fan listened to their conversation and could not help but laugh. ¡°Alright, go play if you want to.¡± He had never been a strict professor, nor was he a hardworking professor. It was good to balance work and rest. ¡­ At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan¡¯s pocket rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Feng Zhixiang, the director of the Institute of Science. Lin Fan did not hesitate and answered the call. ¡°Good afternoon, Professor Lin!¡± Feng Zhixiang¡¯s respectful voice came from the other end. ¡°Good afternoon, Director Feng,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± He never liked to beat about the bush, so he asked directly. Feng Zhixiang was not too surprised by this. After all, both sides had dealt with each other many times. ¡°I just received news that the Totamac device you purchased has arrived at the port,¡± Feng Zhixiang said. ¡°I¡¯m now preparing to get someone to ship it to Ordinary Technology. Do you want to come over and take a look?¡± It had to be said that the IN Physics Institute was very efficient. In such a short period of time, the item had been transported over. Of course, the main reason was that Lin Fan had given too much money. Lin Fan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. The Totamac device had arrived? One had to know¡­ His mission required him to read five books, own a Totamac machine, and a controllable nuclear fusion plant that covered more than 10,000 acres. He had already read all five books. Although he had purchased the Totamac device, he had not been able to fulfill the mission requirements. Lin Fan suspected that he had to wait for the Totamac device to arrive in Hua Nation before it would be ticked off. Thinking of this, Lin Fan said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go to Ordinary Technology now.¡± After hanging up the call, he asked Hao Zhiwu and the others to continue their self-study. Then, he drove the Cullinan out. The last time he came here, there was only a dilapidated road, a few small mounds, and a few dilapidated factories. At this moment, the road had already been widened by two times. The small mound and the dilapidated factory had long disappeared¡­ In its place were tall factories and the main office building. It could be said that the structure of the controllable nuclear fusion plant was slowly taking shape. Dozens of engineering vehicles and hundreds of workers were seen working very hard. At this moment, two soldiers walked over with their backs straight. ¡°Hello, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Their voices were steady and powerful. His factory was actually guarded by soldiers! Lin Fan was just about to speak¡­ At this moment, an Audi drove over from afar. Behind the Audi was a van. Soon, Feng Zhixiang and a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked down. ¡°Professor Lin, sorry for being late,¡± Feng Zhixiang greeted from afar. Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. I just arrived.¡± The two soldiers stepped aside after hearing this. Feng Zhixiang explained, ¡°For the safety of Ordinary Technology, we arranged for some soldiers to guard it.¡± Lin Fan¡¯s face revealed a strange look. Ordinary Technology was wholly invested by him. Soldiers were sent to guard this place? Feng Zhixiang seemed to have noticed Lin Fan¡¯s confusion and continued, ¡°After all, this is a controllable nuclear fusion company. As long as it involves nuclear energy, we have to be careful.¡± Lin Fan nodded. Then, Feng Zhixiang pointed at the truck and said, ¡°The Totamac device is inside¡­¡± Lin Fan looked in the direction he was pointing at. A crane was lifting a strange-looking machine out of the truck. The middle-aged man wearing the gold-rimmed glasses could not help but say, ¡°Professor Lin, may I ask, why did you spend so much money to buy a second-generation Totamac device from the IN Physics Institute?¡± His words were filled with confusion. There were two main directions for controllable nuclear fusion research. One was a stellarator, and the other was a Totamac device. Among them, the stellarator was a path recognized by most scholars. It was also the main research direction in Hua Nation and was at the forefront of the world. As for the Totamac device, it was much more unpopular. In fact, many scholars believed that it was the wrong path. As a result, Hua Nation chose to give up on researching the Totamac device. On top of the stellarator, Lin Fan should study the Totamac device, or at least buy the third generation of the Totamac device, right? One had to know¡­ The current Totomac device was already in the fifth generation, and it was said that the sixth generation would soon appear soon. Then, what was the use of the second-generation stellarator that Lin Fan had bought? It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was junk, right? Spending so much money to buy a piece of junk! No wonder the middle-aged man was so confused. ¡°Professor Lin, this is Director Wang Dahua from the Institute of Nuclear Physics at Capital University.¡± Lin Fan did not reply immediately. Instead, he focused his attention on the mission system. [Mission: Build a nuclear fusion plant of more than 10,000 acres (0/1), own a Totamac device (1/1), and read Particle Simulation of Plasmas, Manual of Plasma Physics and Formulas, Physics of Thermonuclear Fusion Plasmas, Controlled Nuclear Fusion (5/5). Reward: Complete version of the nuclear fusion device, as well as related knowledge such as principles and design drawings, Professor-Level Physics Experience +1 upgrade, one platinum packet.] As expected, the mission was only confirmed and completed when the Totamac device appeared in front of him. After a while, Lin Fan said, ¡°Because if I buy this Totamac machine, I can successfully develop controllable nuclear fusion.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Feng Zhixiang asked excitedly. ¡°The research is going to be successful?¡± It was no wonder that he would react like this. There were too many things involved in controllable nuclear fusion. The first and second industrial revolutions could both be described as energy revolutions. Once the controllable nuclear fusion was completed, it would be enough to set off the third industrial revolution. At that time, Hua Nation would be able to develop by leaps and bounds! ¡°Professor Lin, is what you said true?¡± Wang Dahua asked in surprise. Lin Fan looked at the two of them and said, ¡°It¡¯s useless to talk about this now. The factory of Ordinary Technology hasn¡¯t been built yet. Let¡¯s build a factory of more than 10,000 acres first. ¡°By then, controllable nuclear fusion will be successful.¡± When Lin Fan said this, he was very sure. The system had never disappointed him. As long as he completed the mission, he would have the technology for controllable nuclear fusion. Lin Fan¡¯s goal today was to personally come and see the Totamac device and complete the mission. Now, everything was done. There was no need for him to stay any longer. After Lin Fan said a few words to Feng Zhixiang, Wang Dahua, and the others, he drove the Cullinan away. After Lin Fan left, Wang Dahua could not help but say, ¡°Director Feng, do you think Professor Lin can really develop controllable nuclear fusion just by relying on the second-generation Totamac device that the IN Physics Institute researched many years ago and has long since eliminated?¡± ¡°How long have those mathematicians been studying Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis?¡± Feng Zhixiang asked. ¡°Did they manage to answer it in the end? How long have those medical experts been studying diabetes? Did they solve it in the end? How long have those physicists been studying earthquakes? Did they invent the earthquake prediction device in the end? How long have those mathematicians been researching batteries? Did they invent the super battery in the end?¡± One question after another, he directly asked Wang Dahua till the latter¡¯s jaw was agape. He was unable to answer at all. ¡°Some people are like that!¡± Feng Zhixiang continued. ¡°To be able to do things that others can¡¯t, I call this kind of person a great man!¡± Feng Zhixiang looked in the direction where Lin Fan had left. Then, he recalled what Lin Fan had said. ¡°There are still too few workers and engineering vehicles here. We have to transfer more over!¡± After all, Lin Fan said that once the construction was completed, the controllable nuclear fusion would be a success! Chapter 509 - 509 Treat; My Mom Is Here! (1) 509 Treat; My Mom Is Here! (1) The setting sun dyed the sky red, bright and beautiful. As it was time to get off work, everyone was rushing home. The traffic was very congested. Lin Fan raised his head. A tall building appeared before his eyes. It was Jiangbei Hotel. When Lin Fan saw this building, he could not help but think of the first time he came here. It was Old Master Qin Weiming who treated him to a meal. Then, he thought of the unique delicacies in Jiangbei Hotel. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s stomach started to growl. He looked at the black mass of cars in front of him, then turned the steering wheel and drove toward Jiangbei Hotel. He had just parked his car when a thin figure in a white T-shirt happened to walk past him. Lin Fan could not help but exclaim, ¡°Cousin?!¡± The man slowly turned around. When he saw Lin Fan, he could not help but shout, ¡°Lin Fan?¡± Lin Fan did not get the wrong person. This was his cousin, Lin Zihao. Lin Fan said, ¡°Cousin, when did you come to Jiangbei?¡± ¡°I came this year,¡± Lin Zihao said. ¡°Have you eaten? Let¡¯s have a meal together,¡± Lin Fan said. Lin Zihao¡¯s stomach growled. ¡°Sure.¡± He nodded. Thus, the two of them walked side by side, chatting as they walked into the Jiangbei Hotel. ¡­ At this moment, a large group of men and women in suits and leather shoes had already arrived at the Jiangbei Hotel. The person in the lead was the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, Zhang Zhou. The people standing beside and behind Zhang Zhou all nodded and bowed, smiling obsequiously. ¡°I heard that the Jiangbei Hotel just airlifted a batch of sea urchins, tuna, abalones, and king crabs this morning¡­¡± ¡°I also heard that a wild boar was shipped in yesterday¡­¡± ¡°Head Chef Liu Wentao used to be a chef at a state banquet. I¡¯ve already told him to cook today¡¯s food.¡± ¡°Chairman Zhang, you came at the right time today!¡± ¡­ Zhang Zhou nodded arrogantly in response to the crowd¡¯s praise. When Zhang Zhou turned his head, he suddenly froze. He saw a tall and handsome figure. It was Lin Fan! Zhang Zhou took a few quick steps and arrived in front of Lin Fan. Then, he bowed and said in an extremely respectful and excited tone, ¡°Mr. Lin, I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here. What a coincidence.¡± One had to know¡­ Lin Fan owned 51% of the shares of Xiao Wu Wholesale City. He could be said to be his boss. In addition, the reason why Xiao Wu Wholesale City had been able to develop so much was all thanks to Lin Fan. Lin Fan had made Xiao Wu Wholesale City the biggest agent for Flower Stem. Flower Stem¡¯s perfume and skincare products were a huge success. It could be said that becoming a major agent of Flower Stem was equivalent to owning a banknote printing factory. Every day, countless people offered money to work with Zhang Zhou. Lin Fan finally noticed Zhang Zhou and said, ¡°Yeah, what a coincidence.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been wanting to treat you to a meal for a long time. I just happened to meet you today. I wonder if you¡¯re free today?¡± Lin Fan did not reply. He turned to Lin Zihao and said, ¡°Cousin, do you want to eat with them?¡± ¡°The more the merrier,¡± Lin Zihao said. He could tell that Zhang Zhou and the people behind him all had extraordinary auras. Even though Lin Zihao knew that Lin Fan seemed to be quite extraordinary now, he did not want Lin Fan to offend anyone over a meal. Moreover, just as he said, the more the merrier. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s eat together.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Zhang Zhou said excitedly. ¡°Mr. Lin and his cousin, this way, please.¡± As he spoke, he bent down again and extended his right hand. That appearance¡­ He was like the most respectful waiter. This scene shocked the men and women in suits standing behind him. One had to know¡­ Zhang Zhou was the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City! Even if they did not cooperate with Flower Stem, Xiao Wu Wholesale City was still a large company with a market value of more than ten billion. After working with Flower Stem, their scale and reputation continued to rise. In the end, Zhang Zhou actually treated a young man who looked to be in his 20s¡­ so respectfully! What was the identity of this young man? Lin Zihao scratched the back of his head and said awkwardly, ¡°This¡­ Mr. Zhang, my name is Lin Zihao. You can just call me by my name.¡± After all, Zhang Zhou was about 40 to 50 years old. Zhang Zhou also felt that Lin Zihao was uncomfortable. He did not insist any longer and said, ¡°Alright.¡± To everyone¡¯s surprise, Zhang Zhou personally led the two to the private room. Lin Fan and Lin Zihao arrived at the luxurious Room No. 8. Zhang Zhou personally pulled out a chair and arranged Lin Fan to sit in the first seat. Lin Zihao sat on Lin Fan¡¯s left and he sat on his right. ¡°I heard that the Jiangbei Hotel just airlifted a batch of sea urchins, tuna, abalones, king crabs, and other seafood this morning,¡± Zhang Zhou said. ¡°In addition, a wild boar arrived yesterday¡­ ¡°Yes! Head Chef Liu Wentao is here. He used to be a chef at a state banquet. I¡¯ve already made an agreement with him. He¡¯ll personally cook today¡¯s delicacies. The taste will definitely be good!¡± Chapter 510 - 510 Treat; My Mom Is Here! (2) 510 Treat; My Mom Is Here! (2) ¡°Mr. Lin, you came at the right time today!¡± As he spoke, he started to dance. The men and women in suits and leather shoes smelled like smoke, and the corners of their mouths could not help but twitch. Earlier, when they were saying these words, Zhang Zhou only nodded lightly and was extremely arrogant. In the end, when he faced these two young people, he started to dance and talk. Why did his attitude change so much? Jiangbei Hotel was very efficient. After a while, delicious dishes were served one after another. Lin Fan picked up some food and put it into his mouth. He nodded slightly and said, ¡°Cousin, try this. It¡¯s not bad.¡± Lin Zihao also picked up a piece with his chopsticks and praised sincerely, ¡°It¡¯s delicious!¡± When Zhang Zhou heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. After all, he had just recommended the dishes here. If they were not delicious, then it would be a little difficult. Then, like a child hearing a teacher¡¯s praise, Zhang Zhou¡¯s entire face immediately curled up into a smile. ¡°Today, we¡¯re honored to be able to have a meal with you two. I suggest¡­ Let¡¯s toast to the two Mr. Lins!¡± After saying that, Zhang Zhou picked up his wine glass and stood up. Everyone present also raised their glasses and stood up. After that, everyone downed the wine in their glasses. At this moment, there was a crisp knock on the door. Then, a man in a white shirt walked in. It was the general manager of Jiangbei Hotel, Zhang Shanfeng. ¡°I just heard from the people below that Mr. Lin is here for a meal, so I specially came to toast you. I hope I didn¡¯t disturb you.¡± As soon as he said this, many people¡¯s hearts jumped wildly. They knew Zhang Shanfeng and knew that he was the general manager of Jiangbei Hotel. It was because of this that they were even more surprised. If it were an ordinary restaurant, it would be fine. However, Jiangbei Hotel had a very deep official background. Even the general manager of Jiangbei Hotel rushed over to toast Lin Fan when he heard that Lin Fan was here. Who exactly was this young man called Lin Fan? Compared to the shock in everyone¡¯s hearts, Lin Fan was still extremely calm. ¡°You¡¯re not disturbing us. We¡¯re just eating.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good¡­¡± Zhang Shanfeng heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Mr. Lin, thank you for coming to our Jiangbei Hotel for your meal. Here¡¯s a toast to you.¡± After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. Then, Zhang Shanfeng poured himself another glass of wine and said, ¡°Thank you for coming to the Jiangbei Hotel. I hope everyone will enjoy the meal.¡± With that, he finished the wine in his glass. Everyone present, including Zhang Zhou, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, quickly raised their glasses and said, ¡°Manager Zhang, you¡¯re too polite.¡± As soon as they finished speaking, they also drank the contents of their glasses in one gulp. ¡°Then I won¡¯t disturb you.¡± This meal¡­ Everyone would occasionally find an opportunity to toast Lin Fan and Lin Zihao, wanting to get closer to them. They understood that this would definitely be of great benefit to them. Lin Fan did not reject any toasts. After all, he had Drinking Gentleman, allowing him to drink a thousand glasses and not get drunk. Lin Zihao¡¯s alcohol tolerance was much lower. Fortunately, everyone did not dare to say much about it. They drank it all themselves, but Lin Zihao only took a small sip. Everyone had a great time during the meal. When Lin Fan returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa, the sky had already turned completely dark. After taking a shower, he lay down on the LV custom-made bed and fell asleep comfortably. ¡­ The night passed in the blink of an eye. The two little birds on the branches gently stamped their feet and made a crisp sound. ¡°How many bugs did you catch today?¡± ¡°One.¡± ¡°Hehe, I got two!¡± ¡°Hmph, we also got two!¡± ¡­ In the past, Lin Fan could hear the conversation of the birds outside the window. And after taking the Hearing Enhancement Potion, these sounds became even clearer. Out of habit, he glanced at his phone. As usual, a text message appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 36,790,201 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, he turned his attention to the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten million yuan.] Lin Fan yawned and lay on the bed for a while before slowly getting up. After eating M9 beef rolls, king crab bread, and a glass of premium milk, he drove the Cullinan to Jiangbei University as usual. ¡­ To Lin Fan, today was a very ordinary day. However, to Lin Zihao, it was exceptionally unusual. While Lin Zihao was still asleep, a sudden ringtone woke him up. He looked at the caller ID and realized that it was his girlfriend, Zhong Jieyu. ¡°Good morning, Jieyu,¡± Lin Zihao said. Zhong Jieyu said anxiously. ¡°Zihao, my mother is in Jiangbei! I told her that you¡¯re a senior executive of the company, a director! However, she insists on going to your company to take a look. What should we do now?¡± His eyes, which were initially still a little sleepy, immediately widened as he sat up on the bed. ¡°You¡­ Your mother is going to my company? Moreover, you even said that I¡¯m the company¡¯s director?¡± Lin Zihao said in surprise. ¡°Yeah, you know that my mother is a little powerful. If I didn¡¯t say that, she wouldn¡¯t have agreed to us being in a relationship at all¡­ Quickly think about what to do now!¡± Zhong Jieyu said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you find a few good colleagues to help you put on an act?¡± Lin Zihao thought for a moment and said, ¡°That should be the only way for now.¡± After hanging up the phone, Lin Zihao hurriedly washed up and changed into his best suit. He hailed a taxi and rushed toward the company. He finally arrived at the company before Zhong Jieyu and her mother. The company¡¯s executives rarely came to the company in the morning. Today was the same. Lin Zihao heaved a sigh of relief. After promising to treat them to a meal, he finally convinced his colleagues to help him act. Following the sound of the elevator, a young woman with a good figure, a middle-aged woman wearing a pearl necklace, and a man in a checkered shirt slowly walked in. They¡­ They were Zhong Jieyu, Zheng Jing, and Liu Wei. When Lin Zihao saw Zhong Jieyu from afar, he strode forward and smiled. ¡°Jieyu, you¡¯re here?¡± Zhong Jieyu nodded uneasily. When she noticed Lin Zihao¡¯s reassuring gaze, she breathed a sigh of relief. She pointed at Zheng Jing and said, ¡°This is my mother.¡± ¡°This is Liu Wei, the son of my mother¡¯s friend.¡± ¡°Hello, Aunt.¡± Zheng Jing nodded her head lightly without much expression. Lin Zihao could not help but feel a little embarrassed. He took the initiative to reach out to Liu Wei and said, ¡°Hello, Liu Wei. I¡¯m Jieyu¡¯s boyfriend.¡± Liu Wei and Lin Zihao shook hands lightly and said their greetings. ¡°I heard from Jieyu that you¡¯re the director of Xuanyuan Trading Comapny,¡± Zheng Jing said. ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be a problem for you to bring us in to take a look, right?¡± ¡°Of course, there¡¯s no problem. Please come in.¡± As soon as he entered the company, a man wearing black-rimmed glasses walked over quickly with a stack of documents. ¡°Director Lin, so you¡¯re here?¡± he hurriedly said to Lin Zihao. ¡°Our company has signed a 20 million yuan contract with Xiao Wu Wholesale City. These documents require your approval. Are you free now?¡± His attitude was very respectful, and there was a hint of pleading in his tone. If Lin Zihao did not know that he was just a small-time employee, he was afraid that he would really think that he was the director. It had to be said that the black-framed glasses man¡¯s acting skills were not bad. He cleared his throat and said, ¡°Okay, put them aside for now. I¡¯ll come over to approve them later.¡± Liu Wei, who was standing at the side, curled his lips slightly and revealed an imperceptible sneer. He said, ¡°A 20 million yuan contract? Can you show us?¡± Chapter 511 - 511 Seen Through; Respectfully! (1) 511 Seen Through; Respectfully! (1) Lin Zihao and Zhong Jieyu froze. They knew that this was not a 20 million contract from Xiao Wu Wholesale City. It was probably just a pile of messy documents. This was all an act. Once they saw the contract, the lie would be instantly exposed. A thin layer of sweat slowly seeped out of Lin Zihao¡¯s forehead. The man wearing black-rimmed glasses was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, ¡°Normally, outsiders are not allowed to see the contract. However, you¡¯re all Director Lin¡¯s family and friends. Of course, there¡¯s no problem.¡± As he spoke, he was about to hand over the contract in his hand. Then, he continued, ¡°However, this contract involves company secrets. Once the contents are leaked, everyone who has seen the contract may be investigated or even sued. After all, this involves an order worth 20 million.¡± Zheng Jing was originally prepared to take a good look at the contract. However, after hearing this, she retracted her hands and said, ¡°Since it¡¯s a confidential document, I won¡¯t read it. I can¡¯t understand it anyway.¡± As she said, she would not be able to understand the contract at all. However, if there was a problem and she was investigated or sued, would she not be causing trouble for no reason? The man with black-rimmed glasses smiled and said, ¡°Alright.¡± It had to be said that he had some acting skills and the ability to improvise. With just a few words, the crisis in front of him was easily resolved. Lin Zihao secretly gave him a thumbs-up and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go in and sit first.¡± His colleagues were all very supportive. When they saw Lin Zihao, they greeted him one after another, ¡°Hello, Director Lin.¡± Lin Zihao smiled and nodded in response. He then said, ¡°Jieyu, Aunt, Liu Wei, you guys sit for a while, I¡¯ll give you some tea.¡± At this moment, Liu Wei, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly clapped lightly. ¡°Not bad, not bad at all!¡± ¡°What¡¯s not bad?¡± Lin Zihao asked. ¡°I mean, you and your colleagues are working well together,¡± Liu Wei said. Lin Zihao¡¯s heart tightened for some reason. He said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t understand?¡± Liu Wei sneered. ¡°Stop acting! I¡¯ve already learned from my uncle that you¡¯re an ordinary employee of the company. ¡°Oh right, my uncle¡¯s name is Liu Liang.¡± Lin Zihao froze completely when he heard this. Of course, he knew Liu Liang. He was the general manager of the company! Liu Wei was actually Liu Liang¡¯s nephew. It was over. He had been completely exposed. What would Zhong Jieyu¡¯s mother think of him? What should he do later? Liu Wei saw Lin Zihao¡¯s ugly expression, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He continued, ¡°An order of 20 million yuan from Xiao Wu Wholesale City? You made it sound like it was true. I almost laughed out loud just now¡­¡± Zheng Jing said in a deep voice, ¡°Jieyu, is this really the boyfriend you found?!¡± Zhong Jieyu did not expect the lie to be exposed so easily. As a result, she did not explain at the first moment. After a while, Zhong Jieyu finally replied, ¡°Mom, Zihao just wishes to satisfy you.¡± ¡°Satisfy? He lied to me to satisfy me?¡± Zheng Jing shouted, ¡°I don¡¯t care what his job is or how much money he has, but he should at least be honest! ¡°Now that he¡¯s lying to me about being a senior executive of the company, he might treat you like a fool and lie to you in the future too! ¡°I don¡¯t approve of your relationship!¡± Zheng Jing shouted. On the surface, she seemed to have a point when she said that¡­ In reality, however, it was just an excuse she came up with. Zheng Jing despised the poor and loved the rich. She just did not want her daughter to marry an ordinary worker who had no money. Zhong Jieyu immediately panicked and said, ¡°Mom, I was the one who thought of this today. If you want to blame someone, blame me¡­ Zihao didn¡¯t mean to lie to you.¡± Zheng Jing was just looking for an excuse to separate her daughter from Lin Zihao. Why would she listen to her explanation? ¡°You don¡¯t have to defend Lin Zihao anymore. I¡¯ve lived in this world longer than you and have more experience! ¡°I can tell at a glance that he¡¯s the kind of person who doesn¡¯t have any ability and likes to lie. You¡¯re being deceived by him now, and you definitely won¡¯t be happy in the future.¡± Zhong Jieyu wanted to say something¡­ Outside the corridor, a series of dull footsteps suddenly sounded. Liu Wei habitually looked in the direction of the voice. The next moment, his face was filled with smiles. That was because the middle-aged man walking in front was his uncle, Liu Liang. ¡°My uncle is here!¡± he said happily. ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re here!¡± When Liu Liang heard this, he could not help but frown slightly and say, ¡°Liu Wei, why are you here?¡± After saying that, he secretly glanced at the few people standing beside him. Seeing that they did not seem to have much reaction, he heaved a sigh of relief. Liu Wei did not notice Liu Liang¡¯s actions at all. He smiled and said, ¡°Uncle, didn¡¯t I ask about an employee named Lin Zihao in your company two days ago? ¡°Today, he actually teamed up with other employees to trick us into saying that he¡¯s the company¡¯s director. Some employees even said that they signed a 20 million contract with Xiao Wu Wholesale City and wanted him to review it. I was nearly dying of laughter¡­¡± Liu Wei seemed to have recalled the previous scene, and his entire person laughed until he was swaying back and forth. Liu Liang frowned. He pointed at the middle-aged man in a suit next to him named Chi Shilei. ¡°Liu Wei, this is the chairman of our company¡­¡± Obviously, he was reminding Liu Wei not to make any noise. Chapter 512 - 512 Seen Through; Respectfully! (2) 512 Seen Through; Respectfully! (2) Liu Wei was also a smart person. He quickly realized this and stopped laughing. Chi Shilei and the man with gold-rimmed glasses standing beside him glanced at Liu Wei, Zhong Jieyu, Zheng Jing, and Lin Zihao. Chi Shilei remained the same. However, the golden-rimmed glasses man¡¯s expression suddenly turned solemn. Him! It was him! Yesterday, the man with gold-rimmed glasses and the other company presidents had spent a lot of effort to organize a meeting and invite Zhang Zhou, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, to have a meal together. In the end, he met two young men with the surname Lin at the Jiangbei Hotel. Zhang Zhou hurriedly went up to the two young men surnamed Lin. The man with gold-rimmed glasses could still clearly remember Zhang Zhou¡¯s servant-like appearance at that time. He knew that these two young men surnamed Lin were definitely extraordinary. He had always wanted to find an opportunity to get to know them. However, there were too many people at the table yesterday. He simply could not find a suitable opportunity. He did not expect to meet one of them today! ¡°Mr. Lin, I didn¡¯t expect you to be here. What a coincidence!¡± the man with gold-rimmed glasses called out respectfully.¡± Chi Shilei, Liu Liang, and the others were stunned. They all knew the identity of the man with gold-rimmed eyes. He was Pan Liebin, the chairman of Yu Feng Company. Yu Feng Company was a huge company with hundreds of millions of assets! Chi Shilei often tried to curry favor with Pan Liebin because he wanted him to give him some orders. In the end, the dignified chairman of Yu Feng Company actually took the initiative to greet his employee. There was even a hint of respect in his tone? Respect? What was going on? Compared to Chi Shilei, Liu Liang, and the others, Lin Zihao was even more surprised. ¡°Are you Mr. Pan?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes! It¡¯s me, it¡¯s me!¡± Pan Liebin said excitedly when he saw that Lin Zihao still remembered him. After all, he was someone that even the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, Zhang Zhou, had to curry favor with. At this moment, Zheng Jing, who was standing at the side, shouted, ¡°Jieyu, as you can see, the real leader has returned. The matter of Lin Zihao impersonating the director has been completely exposed. Let¡¯s go!¡± She wanted to end the matter quickly and make Lin Zihao embarrassed. He would be punished by the company or even fired directly! This would make Lin Zihao hate her and Zhong Jieyu! In the end, the couple would definitely break it off for good! Sometimes, a single thing or a single thought could really cause the corresponding result. As expected, Lin Zihao¡¯s expression instantly turned ugly. Zhong Jieyu called out, ¡°Mom!¡± Meanwhile, Chi Shilei, who had been silent all this while, suddenly had a change in expression. Pretending to be the director? ¡°Who said that Lin Zihao is pretending to be the director? He is the director of our company!¡± Chi Shilei¡¯s thoughts were simple. If even Pan Liebin took the initiative to greet the man and even treated him respectfully, he must have a very high status. Even if he did not, he could just give the man the position of director just to please Pan Liebin. Liu Wei, Zheng Jing, Zhong Jieyu, and the others were all stunned. One had to know¡­ Liu Wei¡¯s uncle, Liu Liang, had just introduced Chi Shilei as the chairman of the company! Even the chairman said that Lin Zihao was the director. How could this be wrong? This was definitely not an act! In fact, Lin Zihao was a little stunned. He¡­ He became a director just like that? Chi Shilei ignored everyone¡¯s surprise. He took two steps forward and smiled. ¡°Zihao, well done!¡± Only then did Lin Zihao come back to his senses and said excitedly, ¡°Thank you, Chairman!¡± Pan Liebin looked at Chi Shilei with envy. Envy? That was right! He was envious! If someone of Lin Zihao¡¯s status was working at Chi Shilei¡¯s company, there was no longer a need to worry about the company¡¯s future. At the thought of this, Pan Liebin¡¯s expression changed slightly. ¡°Chairman Chi, I think our Yu Feng Company can definitely cooperate with you. It would be best if we could sign a strategic cooperation agreement.¡± Chi Shilei¡¯s heart thumped wildly. He could not believe his ears. In the past few months, he had spent a lot of effort to strike a friendship with Pan Liebin. However, Pan Liebin had always refused to cooperate with him, even if it was a small cooperation. What was the situation now? Strategic cooperation! This was the highest level of cooperation agreement! Did that not mean that he was going to have a full cooperation with Yu Feng Company? Good news! This was definitely great news for his company! Pan Liebin saw that Chi Shilei had not said anything, so he could not help but say, ¡°If you have any other concerns, you can bring them up.¡± ¡°No, no, let¡¯s cooperate!¡± Chi Shilei hurriedly replied. ¡°Let¡¯s sign a strategic cooperation agreement!¡± When Pan Liebin heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. His thoughts were simple. Since Lin Zihao was now working in Chi Shilei¡¯s company and had become the director of the company¡­ Then, as long as he reached a cooperation agreement with Chi Shilei¡¯s company, would he not indirectly have a relationship with Lin Zihao? This was definitely something worth doing. At this moment, the phone in Pan Liebin¡¯s pocket rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Zhang Zhou, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City. Pan Liebin answered the call excitedly. ¡°Hello, Mr. Zhang.¡± ¡°Liebin, our contract is about to expire¡­¡± Zhang Zhou said. ¡°In addition, our Xiao Wu Wholesale City has made a unified change to the contract. When the time comes, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to get 20%. You can come over for the details¡­¡± Pan Liebin had heard about this before and had some expectations. Therefore, he only looked a little helpless. However, he was not that much surprised. In fact, the reason why their group of CEOs invited Zhang Zhou to dinner yesterday was also because of the contract. However, it turned out that the man was treating Lin Fan and Lin Zihao to a meal, so he could only put this matter aside for now. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go over when the time comes¡­¡± Zhang Zhou nodded in satisfaction. Pan Liebin seemed to have thought of something and quickly said, ¡°Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment.¡± Zhang Zhou asked in confusion, ¡°Is there anything else?¡± ¡°Mr. Lin from yesterday is beside me now,¡± Pan Liebin said. Zhang Zhou stood up abruptly and said solemnly, ¡°Chairman Pan, can I have a word with Mr. Lin?¡± His tone was no longer high and mighty. Instead, it became one of discussion. Although Pan Liebin had already seen Zhang Zhou¡¯s respectful attitude toward the two Mr. Lins, when he heard the changes in his tone before and after, he could not help but be surprised. ¡°Alright,¡± Pan Liebin said. Then, he handed the phone to Lin Zihao. After Zhang Zhou and Lin Zihao exchanged a few words, the phone returned to Pan Liebin¡¯s hands. Zhang Zhou said, ¡°Chairman Pan, I¡¯ve thought about the contract. I think it¡¯s better to sign it at 20%.¡± ¡°Thank you, Chairman Zhang!¡± Pan Liebin said excitedly. ¡°Help me take good care of Mr. Lin. I¡¯ll be there soon.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Zhang. Don¡¯t worry!¡± Pan Liebin promised. After hanging up the phone, Pan Liebin looked at Lin Zihao with respect. He understood that the reason why Zhang Zhou agreed to sign the contract at 20% was entirely because of Lin Zihao. Lin Zihao¡¯s identity was definitely extraordinary! Then, Pan Liebin felt extremely glad that he had decided to start a strategic partnership with Chi Shilei. Pan Liebin quickly said respectfully, ¡°Mr. Lin, please take a seat. Are you thirsty? I¡¯ll go make tea for you now.¡± ¡°Chairman Chi, where are the best tea leaves in your company?¡± Chi Shilei had also noticed¡­ Pan Liebin seemed to be respectful to Lin Zihao. However, he did not expect Pan Liebin to personally serve tea like a waiter. After a while, Chi Shilei said, ¡°I¡¯ll get my secretary to pour it for us.¡± Pan Liebin waved his hand and said, ¡°I should be the one to brew the tea.¡± Chapter 513 - 513 When Are You Getting Married; The Problem! (1) 513 When Are You Getting Married; The Problem! (1) Pan Liebin ignored the stunned Chi Shilei and the others. He brewed a cup of green tea very seriously and brought it to Lin Zihao. This was the first time Lin Zihao had enjoyed such a service, and he was at a loss for words. He took the green tea and said softly, ¡°Thank you.¡± Then, under everyone¡¯s gaze, he slowly took a sip of green tea. At this moment, a delivery man walked in quickly with a big bag of snacks from a two-star Michelin restaurant. ¡°Mr. Lin, you must be hungry, right?¡± Pan Liebin asked. ¡°Eat something first¡­¡± Lin Zihao could not resist the other party¡¯s enthusiasm. He picked up a piece of snack and put it in his mouth. In the next moment¡­ Lin Zihao¡¯s eyes instantly lit up as he praised sincerely, ¡°It¡¯s delicious! ¡°Jieyu, try it too¡­¡± Zhong Jieyu had long been attracted by the exquisite snacks. At this moment, after hearing Lin Zihao¡¯s words, she could not help but pick up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth. After eating the pastries, Zhong Jieyu¡¯s face was filled with satisfaction. While everyone was eating the pastries, hurried footsteps sounded from outside. A man in a suit and leather shoes walked in quickly. It was Zhang Zhou, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City! When everyone saw him, their bodies all turned solemn. Pan Liebin went up to him excitedly and said, ¡°Chairman Zhang, you¡¯re here!¡± Zhang Zhou only nodded casually. When he saw Lin Zihao, he could not help but quicken his pace. Then, in an extremely respectful tone, he said, ¡°Mr. Lin, good day.¡± As soon as he said that, the scene fell silent. Chi Shilei was the chairman of a company, so he naturally knew Zhang Zhou. He was a celebrity entrepreneur in Jiangbei, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City! He was actually so respectful to Lin Zihao? Who exactly was Lin Zihao? Chi Shilei was both glad and nervous. Fortunately, he had just decisively given Lin Zihao the position of director. In this way, he could be considered to have established a good relationship with him. What made him nervous was that Lin Zihao used to be his employee. If he had accidentally offended him in some way¡­ It would definitely be a disaster! ¡°Hello, Mr. Zhang¡­¡± Lin Zihao hurriedly said. ¡°Mr. Lin, you don¡¯t have to be so polite.¡± He had always wanted to please Lin Fan. However, Lin Fan had always been elusive. Zhang Zhou did not dare to disturb Lin Fan. Ever since he met Lin Zihao yesterday, Zhang Zhou¡¯s mind had become active. Lin Zihao was Lin Fan¡¯s older cousin. If he pleased him, he was indirectly pleasing Lin Fan! He had always been thinking of ways to befriend Lin Zihao¡­ He did not expect that he would have a chance so soon. ¡°Oh right, why are you here today?¡± Zhang Zhou asked. ¡°I work here.¡± ¡°Mr. Lin is the director of our Xuanyuan Trading Company,¡± Chi Shilei added. Zhang Zhou only noticed Chi Shilei after hearing that. He said, ¡°Have we met somewhere before¡­¡± ¡°Yes, I toasted you at the Jiangbei Enterprise Conference last month,¡± Chi Shilei said excitedly. Zhang Zhou nodded and said in realization, ¡°So that¡¯s how it is¡­ Xuanyuan Trading Company? We still have 50 million yuan worth of Flower Stem¡¯s cosmetics in Xiao Wu Wholesale City. Chairman Chi, are you willing to cooperate?¡± 50 million? Flower Stem¡¯s cosmetics? One had to know¡­ Once Flower Stem¡¯s cosmetics entered the market, they would immediately be snatched up. This was simply¡­ handing him money! Chi Shilei felt his heart beating violently like a drum. ¡°Yes, yes!¡± he said hurriedly. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your trust in our Xuanyuan Trading Company!¡± Then, he quickly stretched out his right hand, wanting to shake Zhang Zhou¡¯s hand! However, Zhang Zhou did not seem to see it or hear it. He did not seem to have any intention of extending his right hand. Seeing this¡­ Chi Shilei immediately realized something and said, ¡°Director Lin is the backbone of our Xuanyuan Trading Company. He¡¯s especially capable in all aspects.¡± It had to be said that Chi Shilei¡¯s reflexes were not bad. Soon, he figured out the key to the cooperation. As expected, when Zhang Zhou heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He turned to Lin Zihao and stretched out his hand. ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯ll have to trouble you in the future.¡± Lin Zihao was still in a daze. He stretched out his hand and said, ¡°Alright¡­ Alright.¡± After Zhang Zhou, Chi Shilei, and the others left, Zheng Jing, who had been in a daze, finally opened her mouth and said, ¡°Zihao, when are you going to marry Jieyu?¡± Zhong Jieyu, who was standing at the side, blushed. ¡°Mom, what are you talking about?¡± Zheng Jing had changed too quickly. Not long ago, she was still trying to separate the couple. Now, she was asking him directly when he was going to marry her? Which mother would ask a guy like that? It made her seem so fake. Lin Zihao was also slightly stunned. He did not expect Zheng Jing to suddenly say this. Zheng Jing did not pay much attention to it and continued, ¡°Zihao, you¡¯re sincere and capable¡­ I¡¯m very relieved to leave my daughter in your hands.¡± Lin Zihao¡¯s lips twitched slightly. Sincere? He had the ability? Just now, she said that he did not have the ability and that he liked to lie. When Liu Wei heard this, he could not help but feel a little anxious. ¡°Aunt Zheng, you¡¯d better think about it carefully. There might be some misunderstanding¡­ Sometimes, what one sees might not be true¡­ After all, this has to do with Jieyu¡¯s marriage.¡± Chapter 514 - 514 When Are You Getting Married; A Problem! (2) 514 When Are You Getting Married; A Problem! (2) Liu Wei had been interested in Zhong Jieyu since a long time ago. Now, seeing Zheng Jing trying to matchmake her daughter and Lin Zihao¡­ He was naturally anxious. Liu Wei also knew that Zheng Jing despised the poor and loved the rich. She must have seen Lin Zihao become a director and get another contract worth 50 million, which was why she could not wait to marry her daughter to him. However, he was unwilling! He had to think of a way to stop it! Zheng Jing glanced at Liu Wei indifferently and said, ¡°Of course, I¡¯ve considered my daughter¡¯s marriage carefully. You don¡¯t have to say anything else.¡± She naturally understood what Liu Wei meant. Did he not just want to say that Lin Zihao might have been acting just now? Acting? Then did he get his company¡¯s chairman to act alongside him? He even asked the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City to come and put on a show? How was that possible? That was right! Zheng Jing knew the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City! Rather, she had seen Zhang Zhou before. Not long ago, Zheng Jing happened to see a news interview with Zhang Zhou. If it was someone else who was interviewed, perhaps she would not have had such a deep impression. However, Zhang Zhou was the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City! Zheng Jing loved to buy things from Xiao Wu Wholesale City. Especially after Xiao Wu Wholesale City became a big dealer of Flower Stem this year, Zheng Jing paid more attention to it. Under such circumstances, how could she not pay attention to Zhang Zhou¡¯s interview? One had to know¡­ Xiao Wu Wholesale City was a super large enterprise with a market value of tens of billions! How could its chairman come and put on an act? That was absolutely impossible! Lin Zihao was really the director, and he really held a contract worth 50 million! Lin Zihao might even have a very impressive identity! Perhaps this was the chance for her daughter to join a rich family! Thinking of this, Zheng Jing¡¯s heart was burning with passion. She smiled. ¡°The 2nd of next month is a very good date. Zihao, you and Jieyu can get married on that day. What do you think?¡± Lin Zihao coughed dryly and said, ¡°This¡­ Isn¡¯t it too rushed?¡± ¡°Not at all!¡± Zheng Jing said. ¡°Then it¡¯s settled!¡± Then, she took Zhong Jieyu¡¯s hand and placed it on Lin Zihao¡¯s hand. Lin Zihao felt Zhong Jieyu¡¯s soft hand, and his heart was filled with gratitude toward Lin Fan. He understood the reason why he was able to become the director of Xuanyuan Trading Company, the reason why he was able to be in charge of the contract with Xiao Wu Wholesale City that was worth 50 million, and the reason why he was able to marry Zhong Jieyu so quickly¡­ was all thanks to Lin Fan! ¡­ Lin Fan was completely oblivious to all of this. He did not expect that his casual meal with Lin Zihao would kick up such a fuss. Of course, even if he knew, he would not care. In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend. When a ray of sunlight shone through the curtains and onto the windowsill, Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. He glanced at his phone out of habit, and a message appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 36,890,010 yuan was deposited into your account.] ¡°Let¡¯s see what I can get by signing in today,¡± Lin Fan muttered to himself. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten million yuan.] ¡°Money again?¡± Lin Fan asked. He yawned and played with his phone for a while before slowly getting up. Lin Fan looked at the clear sky outside and muttered, ¡°It seems like it hasn¡¯t rained for a long time¡­¡± Speaking of rain, Lin Fan could not help but think of his girlfriend, Qin Yuxuan. ¡°It seems like I haven¡¯t seen her for a long time. Anyway, I have nothing to do today. I¡¯ll just go to Modu.¡± He did as he said. After Lin Fan had his breakfast, he drove the Cullinan straight to the airport. As it was a last-minute idea, he did not get Xia Airlines to prepare a luxury jet for him. Instead, he simply bought a first-class ticket. About two hours later, Lin Fan arrived in Modu. He called a taxi and went straight to the Global Financial Tower. Compared to a while ago, Fan Yu Investment Company had expanded a little. In the office, it was obvious that there was an additional batch of employees. Moreover, they seemed to be very busy. Clearly, Fan Yu Investment Company was doing very well. Not long after Lin Fan walked in, a medium-sized female employee hurriedly walked over and said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± She could be considered an old employee of the company. Last time, she had seen how intimate Qin Yuxuan and Lin Fan were. There were even rumors in the company that Fan Yu Investment Company belonged to Mr. Lin. How could she be disrespectful? ¡°Hello, is Chairwoman Qin in?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Chairwoman Qin, President Lu, and President Fan went to the Shangri-La Hotel to attend an economics conference today. They might come in the afternoon,¡± the employee said. The three of them were all economics majors, so it was reasonable for them to attend an economics conference. Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave first.¡± After saying that, he turned around and left. That was because Lin Fan had come to Modu to look for Qin Yuxuan. Now, Qin Yuxuan was not in the company. Even Senior Lu and Senior Fan were not around. Lin Fan did not have a single acquaintance in the company. How could he stay? He hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Shangri-La Hotel. At this moment, a very eye-catching poster was erected in the lobby of Shangri-La Hotel¡ª¡¯International Economics Conference, Hall 1, 2nd Floor.¡¯ Lin Fan followed the sign and came to Hall 1. This was indeed an international conference. There were many men and women with different skin colors sitting inside. Most of them were wearing glasses, and they all looked full of wisdom. If it were an ordinary person, it would definitely be very difficult to find someone they were familiar with among this sea of people. However, Lin Fan had the Eyes of True Sight and scanning ability. He easily found the person he was looking for¡­ Qin Yuxuan! At this moment, Qin Yuxuan was sitting in the middle, closer to the front. Sitting beside her were Senior Lu, Senior Fan, and Professor Feng. There were no empty seats around them. Therefore, Lin Fan could only find a random seat at the back and sit down. At this moment, a fair-skinned woman with silver hair and wrinkles on her face was standing on the podium and explaining economics. At this moment, she suddenly changed the topic and said, ¡°Recently, many of my people have been interested in the third economic theorem. It can even be said that they admire it very much. ¡°However, I have to remind everyone that this is not a theorem. It can only be said to be an uncertainty or a formula under specific conditions. ¡°Because I can easily find many loopholes in this formula.¡± As soon as she said this, the scene was in an uproar. As she said, many people respected the third economic theorem. Her words could be said to directly deny this theorem. How could they not be surprised? Qin Yuxuan, who was sitting below, said in a deep voice, ¡°Professor Feng, she must be talking nonsense, right?¡± This was because the third theorem of economics was written by Lin Fan. Then, Qin Yuxuan compiled it and published it as a thesis. Professor Feng frowned. ¡°Kaufman is a very capable mathematician. She said this in front of so many people¡­ I¡¯m afraid¡­¡± ¡°No!¡± Qin Yuxuan said firmly. ¡°Lin Fan wouldn¡¯t have made a mistake!¡± In her eyes, Lin Fan was an omnipotent existence. ¡­ Kaufman, who was on stage, seemed to have expected the situation, so she was not surprised. She picked up the electronic pen and quickly wrote on the touch screen. sin3+a-5¦Ð.. lon11-5mn+7sin3.. ¡­ ¡°If you substitute these equations into the recently popular third theorem of economics, what will happen? ¡°In the end, you¡¯ll realize that the two sides are not equal!¡± As Kaufman spoke, she wrote the third theorem of economics and substituted the specific data into it. When everyone saw this, they were completely stunned. It was true! It was not equal! As a result, the third theorem of economics¡­ No! The economic formula was questionable, or there were specific conditions! Chapter 515 - 515 Unification; Wedding! (1) 515 Unification; Wedding! (1) Kaufman enjoyed everyone¡¯s surprise and disbelief. Especially when she saw Professor Feng sitting in the front seat with a frown, a smile slowly appeared on her wrinkled old face. Kaufman continued, ¡°Professor Lin Fan has great achievements in mathematics. ¡°However, economics isn¡¯t real mathematics. It¡¯s inevitable that there will be some problems.¡± At this moment, Qin Yuxuan stood up and shouted, ¡°Lin Fan didn¡¯t make a mistake.¡± In an instant¡­ In the entire hall, everyone¡¯s gaze fell on Qin Yuxuan in unison. When everyone saw Qin Yuxuan¡¯s young and unfamiliar face, they could not help but whisper. ¡°Who is this person?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°How dare she publicly refute Professor Kaufman? What great courage.¡± ¡°If she doesn¡¯t have enough evidence, I¡¯m afraid she¡¯ll bring some trouble to her mentor.¡± ¡­ In fact, when Qin Yuxuan suddenly stood up, she felt a little regretful. She did not have enough evidence. She did not even know how to refute Kaufman. However, when Qin Yuxuan heard Kaufman directly deny Lin Fan, she could not control herself. Kaufman did not expect anyone to refute her in public. She first sized up Qin Yuxuan a few times before saying, ¡°Lady, do you have a different opinion?¡± Qin Yuxuan was at a loss for words as she faced everyone¡¯s gazes and Kaufman¡¯s question. ¡°I¡­ I¡­¡± At this moment, Lin Fan, who was sitting at the back, stood up. ¡°It¡¯s because there¡¯s a problem with your algorithm,¡± he said in Chinese. ¡°Besides, the third theorem of economics doesn¡¯t say to use it this way.¡± Lin Fan did not really care about other people¡¯s calculations or how his calculations were used. However, if the other party made things difficult for Qin Yuxuan, that would not do! Kaufman saw that someone else had stood up and frowned. After all, she was an internationally renowned mathematician. To be denied in public consecutively and by two young people¡­ it was really not a pretty sight. Kaufman asked in English, ¡°Mister, what¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°Lin Fan!¡± Lin Fan said. After this name was said¡­ The originally quiet scene was in an uproar. The name Lin Fan represented too many things in the academic world. Especially since most of the people at the economics conference were here to discuss the third theorem of economics. Lin Fan was the person who proposed this theorem! When Qin Yuxuan saw Lin Fan, her eyes flashed with excitement. Lin Fan nodded at Qin Yuxuan. Then, he ignored the shocked crowd and walked straight to the stage. Lin Fan did not say anything else. He picked up the pen on the table and quickly wrote on the electronic board. Soon, lines of complicated calculations appeared on the screen. sin3+a-5¦Ð.. lon11-5mn+7sin3.. ¡­ After these calculations appeared, Kaufman¡¯s pupils constricted slightly. The crowd started discussing. ¡°It¡¯s equal!¡± ¡°The calculations are actually equal!¡± ¡°The third theorem of economics is true again!¡± ¡°He hasn¡¯t stopped yet. He¡¯s¡­ It¡¯s as if he¡¯s perfecting the third theorem of economics!¡± ¡­ Just as everyone said, Lin Fan was indeed perfecting the third theorem of economics. When he proposed this theorem, his mathematical ability was still relatively limited. Now, Lin Fan had Great Mathematics Experience! Even if he did not know much about economics, it was enough to improve the theorem he wrote back then. Soon, a clearer and clearer theorem appeared on the screen. ¡°He succeeded!¡± ¡°This is the new third theorem of economics!¡± ¡°If you use this theorem, economics will become very simple!¡± ¡­ Everyone was very excited. However, soon, some people were puzzled. ¡°Didn¡¯t he already write the new third theorem of economics? Why is he still writing?¡± ¡°Yeah¡­¡± ¡°He¡­ The things he wrote seemed to have become a little complicated.¡± Some people frowned, while others were puzzled. Some people¡¯s pupils constricted. ¡°He¡­ It¡¯s as if he¡¯s writing the Grand Unification Theorems of Economics!¡± Hearing this, everyone¡¯s hearts beat faster and their throats became dry. Regardless of whether they could understand what Lin Fan was writing, they were all staring at the screen. [Absolute Focus: You¡¯ve triggered a flash of inspiration!] Just like what everyone said, Lin Fan was indeed writing the Grand Unification Theorems of Economics. Although he did not study economics, after listening to Kaufman¡¯s explanation and writing on the board, he had some knowledge about economics. Now, Lin Fan had accidentally triggered a flash of inspiration. He could not help but start the theory of the Grand Unification Theorems of Economics! Professor Feng, who was sitting next to Qin Yuxuan, praised, ¡°Lin Fan is indeed a genius!¡± Qin Yuxuan nodded her head in agreement. Then, she focused her gaze on Lin Fan. In Qin Yuxuan¡¯s eyes, Lin Fan was not writing an economic equation. Instead, he was on a gorgeous stage, wearing a white suit and sitting in front of a black piano. He was playing a very beautiful piece of music, and the surroundings were slowly filled with starlight. Chapter 516 - 516 Unification; Wedding! (2) 516 Unification; Wedding! (2) Everything was so beautiful. Lin Fan¡¯s writing speed became faster and faster. The music reached its climax, and the starlight became brighter and brighter. Qin Yuxuan¡¯s heart could not help but beat faster and faster¡­ Finally, Lin Fan wrote down the last line and slowly put down his pen. Instantly, in Qin Yuxuan¡¯s eyes, all the starlight¡­ burst out with an incomparably dazzling light, making Lin Fan look as dazzling as the sun. The entire conference hall fell silent. Standing at the side, his mouth was half open¡­ She was completely dumbfounded. At this moment, a middle-aged man whispered, ¡°Professor Jeff, did he succeed?¡± The old man did not answer. He just clapped first. Seeing this¡­ The middle-aged man¡¯s pupils constricted slightly. Applause¡­ It represented his answer! After the applause, the originally quiet conference hall was soon filled with enthusiastic, thunderous applause! Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with unconcealable excitement. They knew that they might have witnessed history. From today onward, economics would take a huge step forward¡ªa brand new step! The Grand Unification Theorems of Economics were established! While clapping, many people hurriedly took out their phones to take photos. They wanted to commemorate this historic moment. Unfortunately, what they did not know was that it was all for naught. Soon, all the images of Lin Fan that they had captured would disappear without a trace. That was because Lin Fan had the super smart watch. The applause gradually died down, and many people quickly came forward to welcome them. ¡°Professor Lin, when did you start researching the Grand Unification Theorems of Economics?¡± ¡°Professor Lin, can you explain the last ten steps in detail?¡± ¡­ Lin Fan randomly picked a few questions to answer, and answered every question in Chinese. Those who could understand Chinese were naturally fine. However, those who did not understand were dumbfounded. Regarding these¡­ Lin Fan did not care at all. He walked past the crowd and went down the stage. He came in front of Qin Yuxuan and held her hand as they walked out. Senior Fan and Senior Lu looked at the backs of the two people as they left and sighed. ¡°Yuxuan really found an outstanding boyfriend.¡± Professor Feng sighed and said, ¡°The more outstanding a man is, the harder it is to monopolize him¡­¡± ¡­ After Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan walked out of the banquet hall, they did not leave the Shangri-La Hotel. Instead, they went straight to the presidential suite on the top floor. Firstly, Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder of the Shangri-La Group, and he was staying in his own hotel. It was convenient. Secondly, it was easier to avoid the people who wanted to surround him and ask him questions. They would never have thought that Lin Fan had never left the Shangri-La Hotel. At this moment, in the spacious and luxurious presidential suite¡­ Qin Yuxuan¡¯s watery eyes were looking at Lin Fan lovingly. Maybe¡­ It was because the weather was too hot that her pretty face was blushing. Then, as if she was attracted by something, she quickly leaned her head toward Lin Fan. In the next moment, the originally clear sky suddenly rumbled with thunder. Bean-sized raindrops kept falling, smashing against the window, making a series of hurried sounds. ¡­ After Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan enjoyed their time together for two days, he returned to Jiangbei. After all, he was still a professor at Jiangbei University, and Qin Yuxuan had her own things to do. In the next few days, Lin Fan was very relaxed. Today, he drove the Cullinan back to Qing City. That was because today was his cousin Lin Zihao¡¯s wedding day. At this moment, in front of the Qingkun Hotel in Qing City, an arch made of colorful balloons was erected. There was a bright red carpet on the ground, and the whole scene looked extremely festive. Today, Zheng Jing had put on heavy makeup and was wearing gorgeous clothes. She was chatting and laughing with her relatives and friends who had come from afar. She was very happy. ¡°Zheng Jing, this hotel is so grand!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Qingkun Hotel is the best hotel in Qing City!¡± ¡°The motorcade just now was all Benzes. The scene was too beautiful!¡± ¡°This wedding probably cost a lot of money!¡± ¡­ Zheng Jing listened to the praises of her relatives and friends, her entire face immediately full of smiles. ¡°It¡¯s a wedding. Everyone does it like this¡­¡± ¡­ ¡°What does Jieyu¡¯s husband do?¡± someone could not help but ask. ¡°He seems to be the director of some company¡­¡± Zheng Jing said. ¡°By the way, do you guys know about Xiao Wu Wholesale City? It¡¯s the company that mainly sells Flower Stem¡¯s cosmetics. He just signed a contract with the other party for 50 million.¡± ¡°A contract worth 50 million?¡± Hiss! The surrounding relatives and friends all cried out in surprise. The way they looked at Zheng Jing became even more different. Zheng Jing enjoyed it very much. At this moment, a hearty voice came from the door. ¡°Mr. Lin, Ms. Zhong, happy marriage. I wish you a hundred years of happiness and a child soon.¡± When Zheng Jing heard the voice, she slowly turned to look and said excitedly, ¡°Look! That¡¯s the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, Zhang Zhou. He¡¯s also here to attend the wedding! The market value of Xiao Wu Wholesale City is now tens of billions of yuan! ¡°This is a distinguished guest. I¡¯ll go and greet him first!¡± As she spoke, Zheng Jing quickly walked up to her. ¡°Chairman Zhang, welcome! You¡¯re so busy, yet you came to attend my daughter and son-in-law¡¯s wedding. I¡¯m really sorry for troubling you.¡± Zhang Zhou had no impression of Zheng Jing at all. However, after hearing what she said, he immediately burst out laughing. ¡°No matter how busy I am, I definitely have to attend Mr. Lin and Ms. Zhong¡¯s wedding!¡± Zhang Zhou said. He was absolutely not spouting nonsense. He had always wanted to get closer to Lin Fan. As Lin Fan¡¯s cousin, Lin Zihao was undoubtedly the best candidate. Then, Zhang Zhou took out an exquisite gift box and handed it to Zheng Jing. ¡°Congratulations!¡± ¡°Thank you, Chairman Zhang,¡± Zheng Jing said with a smile.¡± After Zhang Zhou left, Zheng Jing returned to her friends and family. Many people looked at the gift box curiously. Someone could not help but ask, ¡°I wonder what gift Chairman Zhang gave.¡± Zheng Jing said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem right to open the guest¡¯s gift so quickly¡­ However, since you guys are so curious, I¡¯ll let you guys take a look secretly.¡± She made it sound as if she was doing them a favor. However, what was the truth? Zheng Jing was also very curious about the gift Zhang Zhou had given her daughter and son-in-law. Zhang Zhou was the chairman of a company with a market value of tens of billions. The gift must be very precious! At that time, her relatives and friends would definitely praise her again. Zheng Jing was filled with excitement as she slowly opened the exquisite gift box. After a while, a dazzling diamond necklace appeared in everyone¡¯s sight. ¡°Wow! What a beautiful necklace! ¡°Such a big diamond! I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s at least 100,000 yuan!¡± ¡°A hundred thousand? I think it¡¯s more than a few hundred thousand!¡± ¡­ Zheng Jing listened to the exclamations of her relatives and friends, and her entire face was filled with smiles again. ¡°Alright, you guys have seen it now. Don¡¯t tell others about it.¡± She understood that the more she did not allow it to be said, the easier it would be for it to spread. When that time came, there would definitely be more people who envied her. At this moment, a voice sounded not far away. ¡°Mr. Lin, Ms. Zhong, I wish you two a happy marriage.¡± The woman standing beside Zheng Jing, who was still praising the diamond necklace, looked up and saw the middle-aged man walking over. She exclaimed, ¡°Heavens! That¡¯s Li Wannian!¡± ¡°Who is Li Wannian?¡± someone asked. ¡°Qingkun Hotel, Qingkun Shopping Mall, Qingkun Real Estate¡­ They¡¯re all his! He often appears in the news of Qing City. He¡¯s the richest person in Qing City!¡± the woman shouted. Everyone¡¯s eyes widened when they heard this. Zheng Jing, on the other hand, was full of smiles once again. She took three steps forward and hurriedly went forward to welcome him. ¡°Chairman Li, welcome! Thank you for coming to my daughter and son-in-law¡¯s wedding despite your busy schedule¡­¡± Chapter 517 - 517 College Entrance Examination; Award! (1) 517 College Entrance Examination; Award! (1) Li Wannian naturally did not know Zheng Jing. However, after he heard Zheng Jing¡¯s words, his expression changed slightly. ¡°Mrs. Zheng, congratulations!¡± Then, he handed over an exquisite gift box. Obviously, Li Wannian had done his homework and knew Zheng Jing¡¯s name. After all, Lin Fan had personally called him to help arrange the wedding banquet. ¡­ When Zheng Jing heard Li Wannian call out to her and hand over the gift, her face was full of smiles. ¡°Thank you. Thank you, Chairman Li.¡± ¡°You¡¯re welcome¡­¡± Li Wannian said. ¡°If you have any dissatisfaction regarding the banquet, decorations, wedding ceremony, and other aspects, you must tell me. I¡¯ll immediately ask them to make changes.¡± ¡°I¡¯m satisfied, very satisfied!¡± Zheng Jing said. After the two of them exchanged a few more words, Li Wannian walked inside. Zheng Jing, on the other hand, carried the gift and walked over to her family and friends. All the relatives and friends immediately looked over curiously. ¡°What gift did Chairman Li give?¡± ¡°Open it and let us broaden our horizons!¡± ¡°Yes, yes¡­¡± ¡­ In fact¡­ Not only were her relatives and friends curious, but Zheng Jing was also itching to know. After all, Li Wannian was the richest man in the city. However, Zheng Jing still revealed a troubled expression on her face and said, ¡°Is it alright to open a guest¡¯s gift so quickly? ¡°Sigh, forget it, forget it. Let¡¯s just see what it is.¡± After opening the last gift, she believed that Li Wannian would not give her anything too bad. If the gift was precious, would it not be a good opportunity for her relatives and friends to publicize it? ¡°Don¡¯t tell anyone!¡± Zheng Jing reminded them. After all, the more she did not want the news of it to spread, the easier it would spread. She wanted to have more people become envious of her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡± ¡°We definitely won¡¯t tell! ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Zheng Jing nodded and slowly opened the gift box. Soon, a pair of gold figurines appeared in everyone¡¯s sight. ¡°This¡­ This can¡¯t be pure gold, right?¡± ¡°Of course! This is a gift from the chairman of Qing Kun Group!¡± Hiss! ¡°How much gold is this?¡± ¡­ Zheng Jing looked at the figurines and listened to everyone¡¯s praises. Her entire face bloomed with smiles. ¡­ At this moment, another set of footsteps could be heard not far away. A tall figure strode toward the middle-aged woman. They were Lin Fan and his parents, Lin Tao and Dai Weixue. ¡°Happy wedding!¡± Zheng Jing heard the voice and looked over. However, they did not seem to be people from a great background. Therefore, she did not go up to welcome them immediately. Lin Zihao, on the other hand, hurriedly brought Zhong Jieyu to welcome them. ¡°Uncle, Aunt, Lin Fan, thank you.¡± Lin Zihao¡¯s words of thanks were very serious and solemn! He understood the reason why he could hold such a grand wedding today, the reason why he was able to become a director, and the reason why he could get married at all was because of Lin Fan. Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°Cousin, you look very handsome today!¡± As he spoke, he handed over an exquisite gift box. ¡°Thank you!¡± Lin Zihao said seriously again. When Lin Fan walked into the banquet hall, Li Wannian, the chairman of Qing Kun Group, and Zhang Zhou, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, quickly noticed him. The two of them walked over to Lin Fan at the same time, their faces red. They chatted and laughed from time to time. Zheng Jing, who was not far away, saw this scene. She came to Zhong Jieyu and asked, ¡°Jieyu, who¡¯s that young man?¡± From Zheng Jing¡¯s point of view, someone who could casually chat with the two chairmen must be a very impressive existence. If she knew his background, she could show off in the future. ¡°I think his name is Lin Fan. He¡¯s Zihao¡¯s cousin,¡± Zhong Jieyu said. ¡°Cousin?¡± Zheng Jing murmured. ¡°Then what gift did he give?¡± ¡°Here¡­¡± Zhong Jieyu said. ¡°Let me help you take a look,¡± Zheng Jing said. Then, without waiting for Zhong Jieyu¡¯s reply, she hurriedly tore open the packaging, revealing the Cartier logo. Soon, an incomparably dazzling necklace appeared in their field of vision. ¡°Love of Dawn!¡± Zhong Jieyu cried out in surprise. Her eyes seemed to be illuminated by the necklace, and there was a faint glow in them. ¡°You recognize this necklace?¡± Zheng Jing asked. ¡°Why are you so surprised?¡± ¡°This is Cartier¡¯s latest limited edition necklace, priced at 8.99 million yuan!¡± Zhong Jieyu said excitedly. Most women liked jewelry. Zhong Jieyu was no exception. Moreover, she was working in a jewelry store, so she paid more attention to this aspect. Not long ago, she saw Cartier¡¯s Love at Dawn in a magazine. At that time, Zhong Jieyu was stunned by the gorgeous appearance of the new arrivals. Zhong Jieyu¡¯s dream was to find an opportunity to see this necklace with her own eyes. She never thought that she would have it one day! ¡°8.99 million?!¡± Zheng Jing¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. At this moment, Lin Zihao, who had gone to greet the other guests, walked over. ¡°What are you guys doing here?¡± Lin Zihao asked. Zhong Jieyu stuttered, ¡°Zihao, that Lin Fan¡­ Who is he?¡± When Lin Zihao heard this, he could not help but look at Lin Fan and say, ¡°He¡¯s a very remarkable person! He¡¯s also our benefactor!¡± Chapter 518 - 518 College Entrance Examination, Award! (2) 518 College Entrance Examination, Award! (2) This banquet was a great success. Regardless of whether it was the relatives or the guests, their faces were filled with smiles. Amid the laughter, the wedding gradually came to an end. Meanwhile, Lin Fan had returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa and Jiangbei University. He was back to his leisurely life. A leisurely life would always pass very quickly. A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Today, Lin Fan returned to Qing City. Today, there were many people on the streets of Qing City trying to maintain order. All the taxis had motivational posters stuck on the windows. Today was the day of the college entrance examination. Lin Fan drove the Cullinan and Lin Xiaoyao through a few roads¡­ Finally, they arrived at the gate of Qing City No.1 Middle School. Lin Fan said, ¡°Just treat it as a normal exam. Don¡¯t be nervous.¡± ¡°Brother, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m not nervous at all,¡± Lin Xiaoyao said. ¡°After all, I¡¯m Professor Lin¡¯s sister!¡± She paused for a moment before continuing, ¡°By the way, Brother, if I get into Jiangbei University, can you promise me one thing?¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°No problem!¡± ¡°Yay!¡± Lin Xiaoyao said happily. Then, she quickly ran into Qing City No. 1 Middle School. Lin Fan looked at her back and shook his head. ¡°She doesn¡¯t seem nervous at all.¡± At this moment, a series of crisp footsteps sounded not far away. A slim and elegant girl walked over quickly. ¡°Brother Lin,¡± the girl shouted happily. When Lin Fan heard the voice, he turned around. ¡°Xinyue? Are you also in this examination hall?¡± Lin Fan was shocked. This girl was the daughter of Lin Fan¡¯s former form teacher, Li Yong. Not long ago, Lin Fan had asked the associate hospital¡¯s director, Li Quan, to help remove Li Yong¡¯s tumor. The two of them had met a few times and were quite familiar with each other. ¡°Yes.¡± Li Xinyue nodded vigorously. She looked at Lin Fan with her big, watery eyes. Their eyes met. Perhaps it was because the weather was too hot, but Li Xinyue¡¯s pretty face immediately blushed. ¡°Brother Lin,¡± Li Xinyue said softly, ¡°I want to apply to Jiangbei University.¡± Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°Alright, good luck!¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Li Xinyue nodded vigorously. Then, as if she was worried that she would miss the exam, she turned around and ran quickly toward Qing City No. 1 Middle School. ¡°Brother Lin, wait for me at Jiangbei University!¡± Lin Fan looked at her back and heard her voice. He replied, ¡°Alright!¡± After all, he liked the life of a university professor. He was relaxed and at ease. If everything went as planned, he would continue to stay at Jiangbei University. Two days of exams passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Xiaoyao sat in the Cullinan, pouting her lips in displeasure. Lin Fan could not help but laugh. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Were the questions too difficult and you didn¡¯t do well?¡± In fact, when Lin Xiaoyao came home yesterday, she was pouting. However, Lin Fan did not want her performance in the exam the next day to be affected. Therefore, he did not ask any questions about the exam. Today, the exam was over. He did not mind chatting casually. Lin Xiaoyao said, ¡°The questions at the front were fine, but, the last questions for mathematics, physics, biology, and chemistry were crazy! I couldn¡¯t even understand them. No human will be able to solve them!¡± At this moment, Lin Fan stopped his car in front of their house and asked, ¡°Is it that exaggerated?¡± ¡°Exaggerated?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked. ¡°It¡¯s not an exaggeration at all! Brother, look at what everyone is saying online.¡± As she spoke, Lin Xiaoyao handed her phone over. Chilly Butt: [So, did anyone solve those last questions?] Luminous Bottle: [I won¡¯t be able to solve them even if you give me a lifetime.] Stone: [I can¡¯t even understand them, let alone answer them.] Sleepless: [Not to mention you high school students, even I don¡¯t know how to answer them. Oh, I forgot to mention that I¡¯m a sophomore at a top college.] Fool: [So, which maniac came up with those last questions?] Patrick Star: [I¡¯m relieved to hear that you guys didn¡¯t answer the last questions. That¡¯s because I couldn¡¯t either.] ¡­ After Lin Fan read the comments, he looked curiously at the last questions. When he saw the questions, he could not help but be stunned. These questions were actually set by him. At this moment, Lin Fan suddenly remembered that the director of the Education Research Institute had indeed come to Jiangbei University not long ago and asked him to come up with a few college entrance examination questions. However, based on their expressions at that time, they should not have chosen his questions. In the end, they actually used them? In addition, were these questions that difficult?! Were they not very simple? At this moment, Lin Xiaoyao said, ¡°I wonder which maniac came up with these questions?!¡± Lin Fan coughed lightly and said, ¡°Perhaps he didn¡¯t expect high school students to not know how to solve them?¡± ¡°What? The questions he set were beyond the scope! Originally, I might have been able to get full marks for Mathematics!¡± Lin Xiaoyao shouted. ¡°Actually, there¡¯s nothing beyond the scope. You just need to change the calculations five times¡­ In addition, it¡¯s not good to get full marks so easily¡­ It¡¯s good for you to encounter some setbacks and flaws. From this point of view, the person who set the last questions did a good job,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Brother, why do you keep putting in good words for the person who set the questions? You¡¯re not the one who set the questions.¡± Lin Xiaoyao pouted. Lin Fan said, ¡°What¡­ if I am the one who set the questions?¡± Lin Xiaoyao was speechless. ¡­ After accompanying Lin Xiaoyao for her college entrance examination, Lin Fan returned to Jiangbei. In the blink of an eye, another week passed. On this day, Lin Fan came to his office leisurely as usual. Usually, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Hao Zhiwu, Jiang Chaoqun, Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, and the others would be studying. Today, they were sitting together and discussing something. ¡°The Nobel Prize selection is about to begin. Which Nobel Prize do you think Professor Lin will win?¡± Jiang Chaoqun asked. ¡°Professor Lin invented the human islet recovery drug, so there¡¯s no problem with the Nobel Prize in medicine! After all, diabetes is one of the top ten fatal diseases in the world!¡± Hao Zhiwu was the first to speak. ¡°But Professor Lin also invented the two super batteries!¡± Jiang Chaoqun said. ¡°They completely changed the mobile phone and car industry! I think he has a better chance of winning the Nobel Prize in chemistry. ¡°Look¡­ Many people have similar thoughts! The super batteries can even be called the third industrial revolution! ¡°In the past few years, or in the past ten years, there has never been a better chemical result than Professor Lin¡¯s super batteries!¡± ¡°I think there¡¯s a high possibility that he¡¯ll win the Nobel Prize in physics!¡± Liu Qianqian said. ¡°Because Professor Lin invented the earthquake prediction device! ¡°This has taken a new step in the field of earthquake physics. Or rather, it has reached a new peak! ¡°Look, many people say that Professor Lin¡¯s invention will not only make long-term progress in earthquake physics but also give physics the ability to save the world! ¡°Moreover, Professor Lin also invented the carbon-based photolithographic machine. In a sense, this also involves a lot of physics achievements. ¡°Two great achievements in two different directions in physics, and they both far surpass others! ¡°This is definitely worthy of the Nobel Prize in physics!¡± As Liu Qianqian spoke, she could not help but become excited. She could not hold it in at all. However, Jiang Chaoqun and Hao Zhiwu did not give up their views because of her excitement. ¡°Professor Lin has great achievements in physics, but his medical achievements are not bad either!¡± ¡°Chemistry too¡­¡± At this time, Xia Bing and Xia Xue, who had always been quiet, suddenly said, ¡°Professor Lin can win the Nobel Prize in chemistry, the Nobel Prize in physics, and the Nobel Prize in medicine all at the same time.¡± The office suddenly fell silent. Chapter 519 - 519 Submit; Choose! 519 Submit; Choose! The Nobel Prize in physics, chemistry, and medicine? Lin Fan shook his head and coughed. When Hao Zhiwu, Nie Zhenjiang, and the others heard this, they knew that Lin Fan had come and quickly dispersed. Xia Bing and Xia Xue took out the energy drinks and handed them to Lin Fan. Lin Fan habitually took the energy drinks and drank a mouthful of each. When Xia Bing and Xia Xue saw this, a faint smile appeared on their faces. Lin Fan asked, ¡°Has everyone made any progress recently?¡± No one said anything. Xia Bing and Xia Xue gently opened their mouths, but their mouths seemed to be stuck and could not be opened at all. In the end, they could only slowly lower their heads. Liu Qianqian, who was sitting at the side, shook her head slightly when she saw this. These two women were too shy. ¡°Xia Bing and Xia Xue wrote a paper on computer operations and programming.¡± ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡± Lin Fan asked and turned his gaze back to Xia Bing and Xia Xue. Xia Bing and Xia Xue nodded slightly, and then they hurriedly buried their heads. Lin Fan said, ¡°Can I take a look?¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue nodded again. They returned to their seats and sent a document to Lin Fan¡¯s mailbox. Then, they looked at Lin Fan nervously. As time passed, their hearts started to beat faster and faster. They looked like criminals waiting to be judged. ¡­ Lin Fan did not let them wait for too long. He turned on his computer and quickly flipped through the paper. Regardless of the format, content, or data¡­ everything was handled very well. Obviously, Xia Bing and Xia Xue had made a lot of preparations for this thesis. The thesis had a total of 23 pages and involved a lot of complicated calculations and graphs. Even a computer expert would probably take a long time to finish reading it. However, Lin Fan had the ability to scan, Great Mathematics Experience, Academician-Level Computer Experience, Expert Hacking Skills, and so on. In just a few minutes, he completely understood the entire thesis. ¡°This is good!¡± Lin Fan said. These three simple words seemed to fill Xia Bing¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s hearts with honey. Their pretty faces were full of smiles. After a pause, Lin Fan continued, ¡°Thoughts, composition, application¡­ They¡¯re all ingenious. I¡¯ll help you adjust some of the wrong algorithms and the format. Then, you can try to submit it to CL.¡± As soon as he said that, the scene fell silent. Except for Xia Xue and Xia Bing, none of them were computer science majors. However, they also knew of CL. That was one of the top computer science journals! Submit a thesis directly to a top journal? This was a huge challenge. Once the challenge was successful, it would usher in endless glory. One had to know¡­ In some universities, one could even become a professor if one published a paper in a top journal! Xia Bing and Xia Xue said happily, ¡°Okay, Professor Lin!¡± The reason why they were happy was not because of the possibility of being published in CL. It was because this thesis would be completed by them and Lin Fan. This made them feel like they were working together with Lin Fan to raise a child. It had been a long time since they had this feeling. Last time¡­ It was during the mathematical modeling competition. ¡­ With Xia Bing and Xia Xue¡¯s agreement, Lin Fan did not stay idle. His hands were flying, and without thinking, he quickly modified the abnormal data and content in the thesis. Then, he asked the super smart watch to systematically type the thesis. In fact¡­ This did not take Lin Fan much time. However, Lin Fan still waited until the afternoon before sending the thesis with Xia Bing and Xia Xue as the first authors and himself as the corresponding author to the editorial department of CL. ¡­ It was not just the netizens and Hao Zhiwu and the others who were discussing the winner of this year¡¯s Nobel Prize. The Nobel Prize committee was also having a heated discussion. At this moment, in a meeting room¡­ ¡°In the past few years, our chemistry field has made great progress, especially Professor Lin Fan¡¯s super batteries. They¡¯re amazing. Therefore, there¡¯s no problem with giving this year¡¯s Nobel Prize in chemistry to Professor Lin,¡± a silver-haired elder said. The man sitting opposite him said, ¡°Professor Lin Fan is indeed very accomplished in battery chemistry. ¡°However, firstly, Professor Lin¡¯s chemical battery results have only been seen for a short period of time and have not been tested by the market. ¡°Secondly, Professor Lin is too young. ¡°If the Nobel Prize in chemistry is awarded to him, I¡¯m afraid he¡¯ll directly create a record.¡± The blonde woman sitting next to him immediately agreed. ¡°I think Professor Karl is right¡­ ¡°Professor Lin can definitely be given a second prize. As for the Nobel Prize, we can award it to Professor Hawes. He has made a great discovery in the field of high molecular materials and has a chance of winning a Nobel Prize.¡± ¡°What are you talking about?¡± The silver-haired old man frowned. ¡°First of all, how many discoveries have we made in the field of chemistry? Are scientists only awarded awards after market testing? ¡°You have to understand Mr. Nobel¡¯s purpose in setting up the award! ¡°His goal was to let those who worked hard for science get some rewards so that they wouldn¡¯t be troubled by life. ¡°The things we research and invent only need to be recognized by the academic community. If they¡¯re already fully recognized by the market, why would the winners still be troubled by their lives? ¡°Secondly, Mr. Nobel never said that there was an age limit for the recipient of his inheritance. ¡°When the Fields Medal was awarded, the judges never had such concerns.¡± It had to be said that this silver-haired old man had very clear logic. Very quickly, he explained the problem clearly. However, those who opposed it would not easily give up their views. ¡°Professor Hatton, we don¡¯t deny Professor Lin Fan¡¯s contribution, but we also can¡¯t deny Professor Hawes¡¯ contribution!¡± the blonde woman said. ¡°Professor Lin¡¯s super batteries can be described as outstanding,¡± the silver-haired old man said. ¡°Can the same be said about Professor Hawes¡¯ discovery?¡± ¡°Why not?¡± retorted the woman. The old man in silver-rimmed glasses sitting at the top felt a headache coming on when the argument got louder and louder. He cleared his throat helplessly and said, ¡°Everyone, stop arguing. This is just a discussion meeting, not a voting meeting. ¡°There¡¯s still some time. You can go back and think about it¡­ The real vote will be held at the next voting session.¡± When everyone heard this, they stopped arguing, and the entire meeting room fell silent. It was like the silence after a war. Chapter 520 - 520 Predictions; Internet Discussions! 520 Predictions; Internet Discussions! Almost at the same time, similar arguments were happening in the conference room of the Nobel Committee for medicine and the conference room of the Nobel Committee for physics. It was normal for such arguments to happen. As long as there were people, there would be selfish ones. They would more or less speak in a direction that was beneficial to them. Of course, there were also other conference rooms. At this moment, in the conference room of the Nobel Peace Committee. ¡°The current leader of the United States has only started a war once and is very peace-loving. Let¡¯s give him the Peace Prize.¡± ¡°I agree!¡± ¡°Agreed!¡± ¡°Agreed!¡± They all made their choices quickly. The old man sitting at the top nodded and said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s make the final vote during the next voting session¡­¡± ¡­ Time flowed like water. The Nobel Prize voting was getting closer and closer. At the same time, at the Earthquake Center of Hua Nation. A round-faced staff member drank a cup of tea in satisfaction and hummed a few lyrics. When he put down his teacup, he accidentally saw the tall and thin staff member who was staring at the screen intently. He could not help but smile. ¡°Yang Li, relax. There¡¯s no need to be so nervous.¡± ¡°In the past, earthquakes were unpredictable, but it¡¯s different now. ¡°Now, we have the earthquake prediction device invented by Professor Lin Fan. ¡°This is a divine artifact that can predict the tremors of the world in the next five days! ¡°Once an earthquake is coming, it¡¯ll send out an alarm. ¡°Moreover, it has the ability to predict five days in advance!¡± As soon as he finished speaking¡­ ¡°Beep beep beep!¡± Suddenly, a series of urgent alarms sounded in the empty Earthquake Center. The round-faced worker said, ¡°Look¡­ This is the earthquake detected.¡± Obviously, similar situations often occurred. After all, the earth¡¯s crust was constantly moving. However, most of the time, the magnitude of the earthquake was very low and would not cause too much of an impact. Therefore, the round-faced staff member did not panic too much. ¡°Let me see where the earthquake is coming from.¡± As he spoke, he held the thermos and slowly walked to the earthquake prediction device. ¡­ In the next moment¡­ The round-faced worker¡¯s thermos cup fell to the ground. He widened his eyes in shock. ¡°9¡­ Level 9¡­¡± He had worked in the Earthquake Center for many years and knew very well what an earthquake of this magnitude meant. Then, he hurriedly dialed his superior¡¯s number. ¡­ If it was detected that an earthquake was about to occur in a certain area of Hua Nation, they had to evacuate the area in the shortest time possible. However, the earthquake forecast indicated that a magnitude 9 earthquake would occur in Bear Country. This required a meeting to discuss. After all, the magnitude 9 earthquake was too big. If an emergency evacuation was carried out, the manpower and material resources involved would be too extensive. What if the earthquake prediction device made a mistake? This would be a blow to their credibility and reputation. ¡°In the past six months, the earthquake prediction device predicted 18 earthquakes, and all the predictions matched,¡± the man wearing silver-rimmed glasses said. ¡°Even if all 18 earthquakes match, it¡¯s still very risky to directly inform Bear Country of the prediction results of the magnitude 9 earthquake. If there¡¯s a mistake, our relationship with Bear Country will be affected,¡± the man in the white shirt said. ¡°If we don¡¯t tell the Bear Country, won¡¯t our relationship with Bear Country be affected?¡± someone quickly retorted. ¡°The main thing is that Bear Country¡¯s area is not in the earthquake zone. Normally, there won¡¯t be a major earthquake, let alone a magnitude 9 earthquake. Could it be a machine malfunction?¡± the man in the white shirt said. ¡°I think we should still be careful,¡± someone said. ¡­ The old professor sitting in the main seat listened to everyone¡¯s argument and could not help but frown. After a while, he asked, ¡°Have you asked Professor Lin Fan?¡± ¡°Professor Lin Fan said that the earthquake prediction device won¡¯t make a mistake,¡± the man with silver-rimmed glasses said. ¡­ On Weibo. Earthquake Center: [According to the earthquake prediction device, a magnitude 9.1 earthquake will occur in Bear Country¡¯s Wuka City at 9:00 on June 20th. Please be careful.] Every once in a while, the Earthquake Center would issue an earthquake forecast. It often attracted the attention of some people. Now, there were more people in the comment section. Junzhi ZN: [Am I seeing things? A 9.1 magnitude earthquake?] Fat Monkey: [Isn¡¯t this too scary?!] Luminous Bottle: [Our country hasn¡¯t had such a big earthquake in nearly a hundred years!] Hua Travel Northwest: [I have a relative who seems to be studying in Bear Country. I have to ask him to come back!] Lin Pei: [A 9.1 magnitude earthquake will occur in Wuka City? That should be impossible, right?] Stone Golem: [Impossible? Then you have to see who posted the news! It¡¯s the Earthquake Center! The earthquake prediction device was invented by Professor Lin Fan!] Awesome: [Five days later, a magnitude 9.1 earthquake will happen! Even though it¡¯s Bear Country, I still hope that they can safely pass through this disaster.] ¡­ After Hua Nation¡¯s Earthquake Center sent out the news, other media outlets also reposted and reported on it. BCD Daily: [Hua Nation¡¯s Earthquake Center has predicted that a magnitude 9.1 earthquake will occur in Wuka City in five days.] WW: [How dare you publish such news? Aren¡¯t you afraid of conflict?] JJCK: [Don¡¯t they have any brains? Don¡¯t they know that Wuka City isn¡¯t in the earthquake zone? If you had said it was Gus City, then I might have chosen to believe you.] MAKE: [In the past, I thought that China¡¯s earthquake prediction ability had reached the world¡¯s advanced level. Now it seems that I came to that conclusion too early.] JJJ: [This earthquake prediction device was invented by Professor Lin Fan, right? His reputation will soon be completely ruined!] ¡­ Sakura News: [Hua Nation¡¯s Earthquake Center has predicted that a magnitude 9.1 earthquake will occur in Wuka City in five days!] Mumengjun: [I¡¯m dying of laughter. They actually said that there¡¯ll be a magnitude 9.1 earthquake in Bear Country¡¯s Wuka City. Does Hua Nation not have any common sense?] Matsumoto: [Who¡¯s a fool to believe that?!] Wind Demon: [If there¡¯s no earthquake in Bear Country in five days, I¡¯ll see what Hua Nation will say.] One: [I think they¡¯ll say that there was an operation error or that a temporary worker accidentally moved something¡­ Or, they could bow to Bear Country and apologize.] Yamei¡¯s Father: [The person above is making it sound as if Bear Country would believe it.] Coquettish Sister: [I can¡¯t say for sure. After all, the relationship between the two countries is not bad¡­ Of course, that might not be the case in the future.] ¡­ Chapter 521 - 521 Decision; Execution! 521 Decision; Execution! Bear Country. ¡°Wuka City isn¡¯t even in an earthquake zone. No earthquakes will happen, let alone a magnitude 9.1 earthquake!¡± ¡°9.1 magnitude earthquake? Is this a joke?¡± ¡°There are times when machines fail. We don¡¯t have to pay too much attention to it.¡± ¡°9.1 magnitude earthquake? Wouldn¡¯t that mean that all of the ten million people in Wuka City would have to move away? How much trouble would that bring? He must be joking!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t move!¡± ¡°We should send an earthquake expert to Wuka City to do some research!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± ¡­ At this moment, the man with a buzz cut who had been sitting in the main seat and had not spoken all this while finally opened his mouth. ¡°Quiet down.¡± His voice was not loud. However, the entire meeting room immediately fell silent. Obviously, he had great prestige! The man continued, ¡°Five days. What if a 9.1 magnitude earthquake really happens in five days? Who will be responsible?¡± Everyone in the meeting room opened their mouths, but no one could say anything. Who would be responsible? Who dared to take responsibility? After all, this matter was too big. If it was true, how big of a disaster would it be? Even if they died, they would not be able to bear the consequences. They would become a sinner, a sinner who would be cursed by countless people! ¡°Pass down the message,¡± the man with the buzz cut said. ¡°Make sure that Wuka City is completely evacuated within five days at all costs. Also, make preparations to evacuate Hasi City, Mariku City, and Dengsha City, which are closer to Wuka City!¡± Not only did they have to evacuate Wuka City, but they also had to evacuate the other three cities. In one breath, they had to evacuate four cities! This definitely took great courage! ¡°Yes!¡± Everyone¡¯s hearts turned solemn as they replied in unison. ¡­ It had to be said that Bear Country¡¯s execution was not bad. Soon, a large number of people arrived at Wuka City. When some people who did not pay attention to the internet heard that an earthquake was about to happen, they were completely at a loss. There were also many people who, like those on the internet, expressed their disbelief that a magnitude 9.1 earthquake would occur and refused to leave. There were also some people who were unwilling to leave their homes. These were undoubtedly a hindrance to the operation. However, what Bear Country was best at was overcoming obstacles. They did not care if the residents were at a loss, or if they did not believe them, or if they were unwilling to leave¡­ The officers stuffed everyone into buses, trucks, planes, and other means of transportation before transporting them out of Wuka City. These things were filmed by some people and posted online. Mi Sifang: [The first day in Wuka City upon receiving the news. [In the past, I never believed that the Easterners knew magic, but today, I believe it. [The Easterners said that Wuka City is about to experience a 9.1 magnitude earthquake. [Our Bear Country believed it. [The pursuit of justice while disregarding scientific theories and violently destroying beautiful families one after another¡­ [Cries and shouts ripple on the streets. [My friend told me that some of those who refused even died in accidents. [Their corpses could even fill up several houses! [Photo.jpg, photo.jpg¡­ [Bear Country, please wake up!] Some people quickly had an idea after seeing the post and carried out intentional publicity. Not long after, this post actually appeared in the headlines of major news around the world. This immediately caused countless people to discuss it. When Mi Sifang saw this, he was so happy that he could not control himself. Therefore, he wrote more posts ¡­. Bear Country did not care about any of this. This was because they had already put all their energy into moving the residents of Wuka City, Hasi City, Mariku City, Dengsha City, and other cities. ¡­ Bear Country was not bothered about it, and Lin Fan did not even think about it. As usual, he drove the Cullinan to Jiangbei University. At this moment, Hao Zhiwu and Nie Zhenjiang were discussing intensely. ¡°Will there really be a 9.1 magnitude earthquake in Bear Country¡¯s Wuka City?¡± Nie Zhenjiang was a little confused. ¡°Whether it happens or not, the earthquake prediction device is an amazing invention. It has brought a leap forward in earthquake physics!¡± Liu Qianqian said with certainty. She was a physics major and had some knowledge of earthquake physics. She had read Lin Fan¡¯s thesis. Liu Qianqian knew very well how useful earthquake predictors were for earthquake physics. ¡°The earthquake prediction device has encountered a big issue this time. If it¡¯s wrong, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll have some impact on Professor Lin.¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue, who had always been quiet and did not like to talk, raised their heads and said in a very firm tone, ¡°Professor Lin won¡¯t be wrong!¡± Hao Zhiwu, Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, and Jiang Chaoqun could not help but focus their attention on Xia Bing and Xia Xue. Xia Bing and Xia Xue met the gazes of the four people and were still extremely determined. At this moment, there was the sound of brisk footsteps outside. A tall and handsome figure slowly walked in. It was Lin Fan! Xia Bing and Xia Xue immediately gave up on their firm gazes. They picked up the energy drinks and shyly handed them to Lin Fan. Lin Fan opened them and drank a mouthful of each. ¡°Meow!¡± Then, Lil White, who was lying on Hao Zhiwu¡¯s shoulder, let out a loud cry. ¡°Master, can you give me something delicious to eat?¡± Lil White came to Lin Fan¡¯s feet and rubbed against him. Lin Fan stroked it gently. Then, he tore open the premium beef cat food and poured it in front of it. Everything was as calm and ordinary as usual. It was as if Lin Fan did not know the results of the earthquake prediction device and had not seen the news. ¡°Professor Lin, have you seen the news?¡± Hao Zhiwu asked. ¡°The Earthquake Center seemed to have predicted that there¡¯ll be a 9.1 magnitude earthquake in Bear Country¡¯s Wuka City. ¡°But Wuka City doesn¡¯t seem to be in the earthquake zone. Is this a wrong prediction?¡± Lin Fan patted the cat¡¯s head a few more times before saying, ¡°The earthquake prediction device can¡¯t be wrong.¡± ¡°Really? Then¡­¡± Hao Zhiwu opened his mouth, wanting to say something. Lin Fan did not plan to wait for him to finish his words. He said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you wanted to study the nervous system? Have you written the thesis?¡± Hao Zhiwu coughed lightly and said, ¡°Not yet.¡± Then, he turned on the computer and started typing on the keyboard. ¡­ Five days passed in a flash. There was no one left in the vast city of Wuka City. However, the eyes of everyone in the world were focused on it. Chapter 522 - 522 Waiting; Times Up! 522 Waiting; Time¡¯s Up! There were helicopters and drones flying in the sky, amidst the buildings and forests of Wuka City. They broadcasted all the scenes to all the major video websites around the world in real-time. They showed the same tall buildings and empty streets¡­ Everything was so boring. If it were in the past, no one would stop and watch for a minute. Today¡­ This live broadcast attracted the attention of countless people around the world. Bullet comments filled the screen. Xiu: [In the past, I often wanted to go to Bear Country to play, but my wallet was too thin. Now that I¡¯m watching the live broadcast, it can be considered a dream come true.] MAKE: [The buildings seem a little outdated.] Gesley: [The architecture is a little outdated, but the greenery is indeed not bad! OMG! What was that? Wild bear! I actually saw a wild bear!] Clark: [That bear is so fat!] JJ: [Bear Country actually moved all the residents of Wuka City? In five days, all the residents have been moved away. Who knows how long it¡¯ll take to move them back?] KK: [Without the help of the authorities, it¡¯ll probably take at least a month.] SKE: [Previously, I was still a little skeptical about the news posted on the internet. They said that Bear Country was forcefully evacuating the residents. Now that I¡¯ve seen the live broadcast, I believe it! [Look, many of the doors weren¡¯t closed in time, and the streets are a mess.] Gervais: [With so many doors left open, there¡¯ll probably be a lot of theft cases when the residents are transferred back.] GG: [Hey, there are a few stray dogs over there. They¡¯re eating bones. Perhaps the relocation of residents is a good thing for them. They can eat their fill!] Mike: [Happy stray dogs.] YY: [The stray dogs may become the biggest winner!] Viktor: [I¡¯ve been watching the live broadcast since I woke up. So, what about the earthquake? What about the 9.1 magnitude earthquake?] Fries: [I¡¯ve been watching it since midnight!] Tretus: [Let me tell you something. A magnitude 9 earthquake is equivalent to 477 million tons of TNT. If you don¡¯t know what 477 million tons of TNT means, let me give you another example¡­ This is almost the energy of a million nuclear weapons! Now you know how terrifying it is, right? The special effects of all blockbusters can¡¯t compare to the real thing.] Mark: [After hearing what you guys said, I suddenly look forward to seeing whether Lin Fan¡¯s earthquake prediction device is really accurate. Even though I think it¡¯s impossible.] Tauren: [Didn¡¯t Hua Nation say that the earthquake would start at 9 o¡¯clock? There are only five minutes left before it¡¯s nine o¡¯clock in Hua Nation.] ¡­ Hua Nation. Generally speaking, there should always be people talking, chatting, or constantly clapping in the conference room. However, at this moment¡­ The old man sitting at the head of the table, as well as the men and women in formal attire, all raised their heads and watched the live broadcast silently. They looked at the time that kept jumping, and their faces were filled with solemnity and a faint worry. ¡°Three minutes left,¡± someone muttered. ¡­ Jiangbei University. Hao Zhiwu, Jiang Chaoqun, Liu Qianqian, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, and the others also gathered together to discuss. However, as long as Lin Fan came¡­ They would all immediately separate and quickly enter a learning state. However¡­ Today, there was an unprecedented exception. Even though Lin Fan had already arrived at the office, they were still gathered in front of the computer. Their eyes were burning as they stared at the screen, their faces filled with nervousness. Hao Zhiwu looked at the bullet comments that kept flashing on the screen and could not help but say, ¡°Professor Lin¡­¡± Before he could finish, Lin Fan interrupted, ¡°The earthquake prediction device will never make a mistake.¡± It was not that Lin Fan had foresight and knew what Hao Zhiwu wanted to say. It was because Hao Zhiwu had asked the same question too many times. It was the sixth time today. Lin Fan¡¯s reply was not perfunctory at all. This was the truth! The earthquake prediction device would never make a mistake! This was because this was a product obtained from the system. In addition, Lin Fan also had the most detailed knowledge of earthquake predictors. He knew the functions of earthquake predictors. Hao Zhiwu could not help but feel a little embarrassed. ¡°Alright.¡± Then, he looked at the time on the bottom right corner of the computer and took a deep breath. ¡°Two minutes to nine.¡± ¡­ Bear Country. In the conference room. The man with a buzz cut and the men and women in suits stared at the live broadcast screen without blinking. The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely gloomy. Many people had worried expressions on their faces. This was because they were the ones who decided to evacuate the residents of Wuka City¡­ as well as the residents of the surrounding cities. If the earthquake prediction results were wrong, then they would also bear a lot of responsibility. At this moment, a middle-aged man whispered, ¡°There¡¯s only one minute left before it¡¯s 9:00 in Hua Nation.¡± As soon as he said this¡­ The atmosphere in the already gloomy meeting room instantly became extremely heavy. Many people¡¯s breathing became heavy. Nervousness, uneasiness! ¡­ At this moment, in the live broadcast. The bullet comments were still flooding the screen. Haridas: [The earthquake hasn¡¯t happened yet? I almost dozed off.] Jett: [Yeah, so many people are waiting.] Gedd: [No way. Do you guys really think that Wuka City will have a 9.1 magnitude earthquake?] Meng Shaokandi: [Don¡¯t worry, no one believes it. Everyone is just joining in the fun.] Dr. Yamamoto: [Earthquake forecast will still have to depend on Island Nation! Our Island Nation can accurately predict earthquakes 10 seconds in advance. Ours is the real earthquake prediction device! [The earthquake prediction device in Island Nation has not responded, so the outcome is destined.] Let¡¯s Go: [In the past, Lin Fan even wanted to say that he was Corean. We Coreans were also considering whether it was true or not. Now, it seems like there¡¯s no need to consider it anymore. It¡¯s fake! He¡¯s definitely not Corean!] SKY: [Let me tell everyone that there are still 10 seconds until 9 PM in Hua Nation! We¡¯re about to witness a miracle!] Heavy Rain: [9!] SSSSS: [8!] Emperor Cage: [7!] Flower World: [6!] ¡­ In an instant, the entire screen was completely covered in numbers. That feeling was simply not like watching a live broadcast. Instead, it was like one was watching numbers fly past the screen. Everyone was dazzled. However, they did not get tired of it. At the same time, some people had a faint sense of anticipation in their hearts. There were also some people who had prepared a large amount of mocking words and articles, ready to be sent at any time. Nicholas: [3!] Hunter: [2!] Alexander: [1!] Just as countless ¡®1s¡¯ covered the screen¡­ On the live broadcast screen, the originally incomparably calm skyscrapers, streets, villages, mountains¡­ Suddenly, they trembled violently and emitted an extremely terrifying loud sound. It was like the roar of an abyss beast! It was ear-piercing and terrifying! Chapter 523 - 523 Earthquake; Terrifying! 523 Earthquake; Terrifying! The entire Wuka City was like a small boat in the middle of a storm. It suddenly jolted violently and rolled, as if it would flip over and collapse at any moment! On the flat road, ferocious ravines suddenly appeared. These ravines spread rapidly, forming countless bottomless and terrifying abysses! The towering building collapsed, directly covering the group of stray dogs gnawing on the bones and stirring up dust. The huge mountain collapsed like a bubble. Rocks flew everywhere and instantly crushed the grizzly bear that was crawling. The farmland seemed to have been divided and reclaimed. It suddenly became scattered and rugged. Dust, sand, and stones filled the sky, sweeping up countless hurricanes that rushed straight into the sky. Soon, a large number of drones were smashed into pieces. Even several helicopters were unable to react in time. They were unable to control themselves and fell rapidly. The buildings fell, the earth collapsed, and the world turned upside down! The wails and howls were extremely terrifying! Doomsday had arrived! ¡­ Originally, the live broadcast video with countless bullet comments¡­ At this moment, it was empty. Everyone sitting in front of their computers opened their mouths wide and widened their eyes. Their hearts were beating wildly. This was the first time they had witnessed the terrifying power of nature. It was as agile as a stray dog, as powerful as a grizzly bear, as sturdy as a tall building, and as tall as a huge mountain¡­ Everything in the city was unable to resist the great earthquake and instantly disappeared without a trace! Simply¡­ terrifying! Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the residents of Wuka City who had been forcibly relocated. What if they had not been transferred? What would happen now? Just thinking about it made them shiver uncontrollably. ¡­ Not to mention the ordinary people who were shocked, even the people in the meeting room in Bear Country could not help but open their mouths wide, unable to speak for a long time. They were happy, but they were also afraid and worried. They were glad that they had evacuated the residents from the earthquake zone in time, so there were no casualties. What they were afraid of was that if it was not for Lin Fan¡¯s earthquake prediction device and if they had not believed the results of the earthquake prediction device¡­ Then, what would the consequences have been? It was absolutely terrifying to the extreme! There would not be many casualties this time. However, the aftermath of such a huge calamity was still very troublesome. This was definitely not something that could be recovered in a day. The man with a buzz-cut on the main seat was the first to react. He took a deep breath and said firmly, ¡°After the earthquake¡­ count the casualties and property losses this time. Use all your strength to do the post-disaster reconstruction work!¡± His voice was sonorous and powerful, pulling everyone¡¯s thoughts back to reality. ¡°Yes!¡± Everyone¡¯s figures became solemn as they said in unison. ¡­ In the conference room in Hua Nation. Everyone looked at the live broadcast and heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were extremely shocked and showed a trace of sorrow. This was because they were the ones who reported the news of the earthquake. If the report was wrong, the impact would be huge. The earthquake news was accurate. However, when they saw the earthquake, they were shocked by its terror. This kind of natural disaster was not something that human strength could withstand. It was too terrifying. The scene hit them hard. The eyes of the leaders who were watching the live broadcast flickered. Obviously, they were feeling emotional. After a while, the leaders said, ¡°We¡¯ll immediately start donating and helping!¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± everyone said in unison. ¡­ In an office at Jiangbei University. Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, Hao Zhiwu, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, and the others watched the live broadcast with their mouths agape. They were all shocked by the terrifying earthquake. Tall buildings collapsed, mountains collapsed, and the ground broke! Those comments were not wrong. This scene definitely surpassed the special effects in those blockbusters! After a long time, Hao Zhiwu said in a dry voice, ¡°Professor Lin, your earthquake prediction device is accurate.¡± Although this was the result he had always wanted, when he said this, his tone was very dull without a trace of excitement or joy. The earthquake was simply too terrifying, and it had completely frightened him. Lin Fan stared at the screen and nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡­ When the earthquake gradually stopped, comments appeared on the empty screen. Askuri: [The earthquake was so scary!] Cursed Person: [I¡¯m trembling all over.] Clown: [The power of nature is boundless!] Carl: [I finally understand how weak humans are in front of nature.] Delicious Table: [Doomsday! It was as if I had seen the end of the world with my own eyes!] Edward: [I¡¯ll never forget this live broadcast!] Xia Tian: [I hope there¡¯ll be no more disasters in the world.] Marco Polo: [Thank you Hua Nation; thank you, Professor Lin Fan; thank you, earthquake prediction device.] ¡­ Professor Lin¡¯s Number One Fan: [Who said that Professor Lin¡¯s earthquake prediction device was wrong? Come out!] Mr. Liu: [Who said that Wuka City would never have a major earthquake? Come out!] The Flying Grasshopper: [Who was the one who spread rumors? Come out!] Love You for Ten Thousand Years: [Who was the one who said that Professor Lin¡¯s earthquake prediction device doesn¡¯t work? Come out!] Winter Melon Skin, Watermelon Skin: [Who said that the residents of Wuka City shouldn¡¯t be relocated? Come out!] Stranger¡¯s Call: [Who was the one who said that Bear Country was stupid to listen to the rumors? Come out!] ¡­ Countless questions appeared on the live broadcast screen. However, no one dared to step forward to answer. They were all very guilty. Of course, there were also some other comments. Li Sheng: [I think Professor Lin should be from our country!] Obasanta: [That¡¯s right! Professor Lin is from Corea! Everyone, please thank our Corea!] Takahashi Hyoko: [What a powerful earthquake prediction device. I¡¯m afraid it has already surpassed our Island Nation¡­] What is Happy Planet: [What do you mean by Professor Lin is from your country? Are you shameless?] What is Happy Planet: [Also, the commenter above, the earthquake prediction device in Island Nation can only predict ten seconds in advance, and the accuracy rate is less than 10%! Professor Lin¡¯s earthquake prediction device can predict earthquakes five days in advance! Moreover, the forecast is completely correct. What can your country compare to?] One Man¡¯s World: [Don¡¯t get too agitated. Haven¡¯t they always been like this?] ¡­ Chapter 524 - 524 Thanks; Quarrel Again 524 Thanks; Quarrel Again After Bear Country confirmed that the aftershocks had ended, they arranged for construction vehicles, planes, and other machinery to quickly enter Wuka City. Immediately, clearer images of the earthquake appeared on the internet. The ground was covered in ravines, the city and town were in ruins, and there were a few livestock that had been smashed into meat patties¡­ Although everyone had seen the scene of the earthquake in the live broadcast video¡­ After seeing the scene after the earthquake, everyone could not help but be shocked. They could not imagine that this city, which had been quiet and peaceful a while ago, had turned into nothing in the blink of an eye. The power of nature was unimaginable! Especially the people from Wuka City who were sitting in front of the screen¡­ They felt it the most. Katyusha: [That place seems to be my home. Fortunately, the officers took us away a few days ago. Otherwise, I would¡¯ve died.] Dodgton: [I still remember that it was a shopping mall, and now there¡¯s such a big hole there.] Pace: [My school is gone.] Yuehua Witt: [I¡¯m a resident of Wuka City. I just want to say one thing, thank you for your investigation. Thank you, Professor Lin!] MQL: [Thank you, officers. Thank you, Professor Lin!] Solu: [Thank you, officers. Thank you, Professor Lin!] ¡­ In many videos, the same comment appeared over and over again: ¡®Thank you, officers. Thank you, Professor Lin!¡¯ This comment even rushed to the top of the trending searches of many news media. ¡­ In order to gain traffic and attract attention, some reporters published articles written in advance. In these articles, they wrote about Lin Fan¡¯s inferior invention, the inaccurate prediction, the fact that others listened to him easily, and the consequences of the forced relocation of Wuka City¡¯s residents. Even though the articles were released a few minutes earlier, none of them paid any attention to them. It was because they believed all these things would happen. However, what they did not expect was that an earthquake really happened. BC News: [The earthquake didn¡¯t happen. Professor Lin needs to take responsibility! He ignored science and opposition, acted recklessly, and bewitched the people. He forcibly moved the residents of Wuka City, who used to live and work in peace and contentment, to other places. As a result, countless people¡¯s families are incomplete and they were forced to leave their homes¡­¡± The editor-in-chief and the others were all quietly waiting for the traffic results. They never thought that the earthquake would really happen at 9 o¡¯clock. At 9 o¡¯clock, when the earthquake occurred, they were shocked by the terrifying scene. As a result, they were unable to immediately delete the articles. While countless people were thanking Lin Fan for his prediction, there were also many people who insulted the news. Even though the media had already deleted the articles¡­ Candle in the Wind: [BC News, do you think you¡¯ll be fine after deleting the article? Pah! How dare you insult Professor Lin?!] KP: [The people of BC News are all evil!] MMM: [I just want to say to the person who wrote this article, as well as the editor-in-chief of BC News, rest in peace.] Kun: [Rest in peace? They shouldn¡¯t have a chance to rest in peace!] Jia Dehua: [I¡¯m blacklisting BC News!] Tauren: [Block BC News!] Ortsky: [Block BC News!] ¡­ Originally, the social media account of BC News had close to 60 million followers. In just an hour, it had dropped by 20 million. In addition, the speed of descent did not stop at all. In fact, it was getting faster and faster. The entire BC News fell into panic and despair. With a large fan base, they could still hold on for a few more hours. Some small media outlets that published articles regarding the earthquake in advance could not withstand the backlash. In less than half an hour, the accounts that they had been operating for many years were all banned. This almost made them cry their eyes out. However¡­ they deserved it! ¡­ Pacifying, collecting statistics, and rebuilding Wuka City were the most important matters for Bear Country. After spending nearly half a month calculating¡­ Bear Country finally released the news. Bear Country Daily: [According to incomplete statistics, the earthquake caused 25 deaths and 71 injuries. 391 people are still missing. We¡¯d like to thank Professor Lin for his help.] This message was very brief. However, it stirred the hearts of countless people. 25 people died, 71 were injured, and 391 were missing. If this was a peaceful time, this would definitely be a big deal. However, this was a 9.1 magnitude earthquake! If it were before, it was normal for tens or even millions of people to die. Now, the total number of casualties was less than a hundred! It was reduced by 10,000 times! This was simply¡­ It was a miracle! The person who had created this miracle was Lin Fan! Hence, countless people started commenting. Flowers Withering in the Wind: [I hope everything will get better soon. Also, thank you, Professor Lin Fan.] Yiku: [Thank you, Professor Lin Fan.] YES: [Thank you, Professor Lin Fan.] Edward: [Thank you, Professor Lin Fan.] ¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s name was once again on the trending news list. ¡­ On the other hand, the Nobel Committee had gathered again after the last discussion. In the meeting room for the Nobel Committee for Chemistry. At this moment, they started arguing again. ¡°I have the same opinion as last time,¡± the blonde woman said. ¡°Professor Lin¡¯s chemical battery research is very successful, but Professor Hawes¡¯ research on molecular materials is equally impressive! ¡°But Professor Hawes is more experienced and knowledgeable. Therefore, I think we should award the Nobel Prize in chemistry to Professor Hawes!¡± ¡°Experience?¡± The silver-haired elder asked. ¡°Knowledge? Professor Lin invented two types of chemical batteries. In addition, he has also made great achievements in other fields. Doesn¡¯t that prove that he¡¯s more qualified and knowledgeable?¡± The blonde woman said, ¡°Then let¡¯s talk about Professor Lin¡¯s achievements in other fields. ¡°As far as I know, Professor Lin was nominated for the Nobel Prize in medicine and the Nobel Prize in physics! ¡°If we give him the chemistry award, what if he wins the medicine award and the physics award too?¡± The silver-haired old man glanced at her and said, ¡°Following your logic, the more successful the candidate is, the less likely they¡¯ll win awards.¡± I don¡¯t think Mr. Nobel ever had such thoughts before his death.¡± The blonde woman opened her mouth and wanted to retort, but she could not find a good reason. She glanced at the people in the conference room and gestured for them to refute. However, the rebuttal this time was clearly less loud. Many people were either thinking about something or attracted by something¡­ Some lowered their heads, some frowned, and some fell into deep thought. Chapter 525 - 525 Choice; Manuscript Accepted! 525 Choice; Manuscript Accepted! At this moment, the silver-framed elder sitting in the main seat cleared his throat and said, ¡°Then, according to the rules, we¡¯ll proceed with the final vote. ¡°Currently, there are 10 nominees. They¡¯re Hawes, Lin Fan, Jarviten¡­ ¡°Please pick up the pen and paper on the table and write down your choice. The person with the most votes will win this year¡¯s Nobel Prize in chemistry!¡± Everyone in the conference room exchanged glances. Their expressions were all very solemn. After all, this was the highest award in the chemistry world. Then, everyone slowly picked up their pens and papers. After a crisp sound, everyone raised the white paper in front of them. [Hawes!] [Lin Fan!] [Lin Fan!] [Lin Fan!] ¡­ An overwhelming advantage! There was no suspense! The silver-rimmed glasses elder glanced around and said, ¡°The winner of this year¡¯s Nobel Prize in chemistry is¡­Hua Nation¡¯s Lin Fan!¡± The blonde woman helplessly lowered the paper in her hand. ¡­ On the other hand, similar things were happening in the conference rooms of the Nobel Committee for physics and the Nobel Committee for medicine. Lin Fan had indeed made great achievements in physics and medicine. However, during the discussion meeting a while ago, there was still a huge dispute. It was because some famous scholars had also made great achievements in their own fields. However, today¡¯s voting meeting was not as intense as last time. When some people suggested that Lin Fan should be the winner of this year¡¯s Nobel Prize, those who opposed it all chose to acquiesce. The Nobel Prize in physics was a little better. This was because Lin Fan¡¯s earthquake prediction device had shown its might and prevented an extremely terrifying disaster. As a result, the earthquake prediction device was called a divine weapon! If the creator of the physics world¡¯s divine weapon could not win the Nobel Prize, it might have a huge impact on the credibility of the Nobel Prize. For the sake of the bigger picture, they had to make some concessions. Moreover, with the earthquake prediction device, Lin Fan was qualified to receive this reward. ¡­ In the conference room of the Nobel Prize in medicine, when someone proposed to choose Lin Fan, no one objected. Hua Nation and Bear Country had great influence. At this moment, Hua Nation could be said to have helped Bear Country a lot. How could they not repay him? Of course, the main reason was that Lin Fan had invented the human islet recovery drug that was so effective that it was enough for him to win a Nobel Prize. ¡­ At this moment, in the Nobel Peace Prize Committee conference room¡­ The atmosphere in the conference room was a little depressing. Compared to the arguments in the other conference rooms, the Nobel Peace Prize Committee conference room was peaceful when they first gathered. Moreover, everyone gave their unanimous approval and confirmed the winner of this year¡¯s Peace Prize. Now, however, everyone chose to remain silent. The white-haired old man sitting in the main seat coughed lightly and said, ¡°The leader of the United States only started a war once and indirectly saved many lives. He¡¯s a peace-loving person and is qualified to win the Nobel Peace Prize.¡± After a pause, he continued, ¡°Everyone is paying attention to the earthquake that happened in Bear Country a while ago, right? ¡°That earthquake was very terrifying. Fortunately, it did not cause too many casualties. ¡°It can be said that the credit goes to Professor Lin Fan, who invented the earthquake prediction device. He also has the qualifications to win the Nobel Peace Prize.¡± After saying that, the white-haired old man glanced at everyone in the conference room and saw that they all nodded. Thus, he continued, ¡°In that case, this year¡¯s Nobel Peace Prize will be decided by voting. ¡°There are a total of nine nominees for this year¡¯s Nobel Peace Prize. They are Jalesley, Mike¡­ and Lin Fan!¡± When everyone heard this, they looked at each other. Only then did they slowly write down the candidate they voted for. ¡°Lin Fan!¡± ¡°Lin Fan!¡± ¡°Lin Fan!¡± ¡­ All votes passed! In fact, this was normal. One had to know¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s earthquake prediction device saved millions of lives. If he did not win the Nobel Peace Prize and the award was instead given to the person who started a war¡­ They would be cursed to death. Seeing this¡­ The old man sitting on the main seat heaved a sigh of relief. After all, he was the person in charge of the Nobel Peace Prize. If there was too big of a deviation, he would definitely suffer the most insults. The white-haired old man said, ¡°The winner of this year¡¯s Nobel Peace Prize is¡­ Lin Fan!¡± ¡­ Meanwhile, in the office of Jiangbei University. Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, and the others were studying seriously. At this moment, Hao Zhiwu, who was scrolling the internet, suddenly shouted excitedly, ¡°Professor Lin, you¡¯re on the trending searches again!¡± ¡°Where? Where?¡± Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, and the others quickly surrounded him. Especially Xia Bing and Xia Xue, they were the fastest. As long as they heard good news about Lin Fan, they would be extremely excited and happy. ¡°Number one on the trending searches! Look¡­ Thank you, Professor Lin Fan!¡± ¡°The magnitude 9.1 earthquake only caused less than 100 casualties. We really should thank Professor Lin!¡± Liu Qianqian said seriously. Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Nie Zhenjiang, and the others nodded. Lin Fan gently stroked the cat, Lil White, and rubbed his ears. ¡°Don¡¯t be so agitated.¡± Hao Zhiwu and the others were not in the mood to study these past few days. They continued to pay attention to the news of the earthquake in Wuka City. As soon as they saw the trending searches about Lin Fan, they would let out a wave of excited cries. This shocked Lin Fan so much that his ears hurt. At this moment, an email popped up on Lin Fan¡¯s computer. It turned out to be the editorial department of CL. They had replied to Xia Bing and Xia Xue¡¯s last paper. CT was one of the top journals in the field of computer science. It received countless manuscripts every day. If it were not for the help of the super smart watch, it would have been considered fast to receive a reply in 10 days. Lin Fan said, ¡°Xia Bing, Xia Xue, the thesis you submitted to the journal last time has been accepted. It¡¯ll be published in the next issue of the journal.¡± The manuscript for the journal was accepted! Hao Zhiwu, Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, and Jiang Chaoqun all shouted excitedly. ¡°Xia Bing, Xia Xue, congratulations!¡± ¡°You guys are so powerful! That¡¯s a top computer science journal!¡± ¡°Congratulations!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue were equally happy. They were not happy because their thesis was published in the top journal. It was because they and Lin Fan had created this thesis together. It was like their child had grown up! Looking at how happy everyone was, Lin Fan seemed to have been infected by it as he smiled. At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang. Chapter 526 - 526 Award-Winning; Trending Searches! (1) 526 Award-Winning; Trending Searches! (1) Lin Fan looked at the caller ID and realized that it was an unfamiliar number from overseas. If it was an ordinary person, they would definitely choose to hang up when they saw this kind of unfamiliar number. This was because most of the calls were scams. However, Lin Fan had acquired too many foreign assets, such as LV, Volkswagen, Shangri-La, Gucci, and other companies. He often received similar calls from foreign strangers. This time, he thought it was another call from the chairman of some company. Therefore, he pressed the answer button. ¡°Hello, are you Professor Lin Fan?¡± Fluent English came from the other end of the phone. Lin Fan said in Chinese, ¡°It¡¯s me. Who are you?¡± The voice on the phone paused for a moment. Then, the person stuttered in Chinese. ¡°P-Professor Lin, hello¡­ ¡°I¡¯m Gordochev, the president of the Nobel Committee for chemistry. After our committee¡¯s discussion and voting, I¡¯m informing you that you¡¯ve won this year¡¯s Nobel Prize in chemistry¡­¡± Nobel Prize in chemistry! If an ordinary person heard this news, they would definitely shout and be overjoyed. They would not be able to control themselves at all. However, Lin Fan only replied calmly, ¡°Oh.¡± Oh? Nothing else? The person on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned. After a long while, he continued, ¡°I¡¯d like to congratulate you¡­ Well, goodbye, Mr. Lin.¡± ¡°Goodbye.¡± After Lin Fan finished speaking, he hung up the phone. ¡°Professor Lin, is it the media again?¡± Hao Zhiwu could not help but ask.¡± In the past few days, there were many media outlets that wanted to interview Lin Fan. Without exception, Lin Fan chose to reject all of them. All this while, Lin Fan had never wanted to expose himself. Once exposed, it would completely destroy his leisurely life. He did not want to disguise himself no matter where he went to prevent a group of people from suddenly running out and claiming to be his fans. They would take photos of him crazily with their phones. In addition, the interviews¡­ were troublesome. Lin Fan shook his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s not the media. The president of the Nobel Committee for chemistry called to tell me that I won this year¡¯s Nobel Prize in chemistry.¡± Lin Fan¡¯s tone was very calm. It was as if he was saying that someone was asking him if he had eaten. However, it was like thunder in the ears of everyone in the office. What did they hear? The president of the Nobel Committee for chemistry called to inform Lin Fan that he had won this year¡¯s Nobel Prize in chemistry! Although they had seen many people discussing on the internet that Lin Fan would win this year¡¯s Nobel Prize¡­ And they also felt that Lin Fan could win the Nobel Prize¡­ They were just¡­ After all, it was not the truth. In addition, Lin Fan was too young, and the time he took to achieve those achievements was too short. If Lin Fan did not win the Nobel Prize, no one would be too surprised. In some sense, the academic world was also a circle of people who evaluated seniority. Now, they heard that Lin Fan had won the Nobel Prize in chemistry. How could they not be excited? ¡°Professor Lin, you¡¯re amazing!¡± ¡°Nobel Prize in chemistry! Professor Lin, congratulations!¡± ¡°Congratulations, Professor Lin!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Hao Zhiwu, Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, and the others shouted. Even though they were looking forward to Lin Fan winning the Nobel Prize in medicine and the Nobel Prize in physics, winning the Nobel Prize in chemistry was not bad either! As long as it was a Nobel Prize, it would be enough. It was a big event to be happy about! Looking at how excited they were, Lin Fan could not help but shake his head with a smile. At this moment, his phone rang again. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was still an unfamiliar number from abroad. Lin Fan did not hesitate and answered the call. ¡°Hello, may I ask¡­ if this is Professor Lin Fan?¡± A rather dull voice came from the phone. Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± ¡°Professor Lin, hello, I¡¯m Jeffers, the president of the Nobel Committee for physics. After the voting and recommendation of the Nobel Committee for physics, I hereby inform you that you have won this year¡¯s Nobel Prize in physics¡­¡± He had just received the Nobel Prize in chemistry, and now he was receiving the Nobel Prize in physics? Lin Fan was stunned for a moment. ¡°Alright.¡± The two of them continued chatting for a while before hanging up. ¡°Is it the media?¡± Hao Zhiwu asked again. ¡°The media found out that you won the Nobel Prize so quickly?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the president of the Nobel Committee for physics,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°He told me that I won the Nobel Prize in physics.¡± Silence! The originally noisy office suddenly became silent! Hao Zhiwu, Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, and the others all gaped in shock. What did they just hear? The president of the Nobel Committee for physics called to inform Lin Fan that he had won the Nobel Prize in physics? A minute or two ago, Lin Fan had been notified that he had won the Nobel Prize in chemistry. Now, he was informed that he had won the Nobel Prize in physics. The same person won two Nobel Prizes in the same year! This¡­ This was definitely something that had never happened before. ¡°Another Nobel Prize!¡± ¡°The Nobel Prize in physics!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°Awesome!¡± They danced and shouted. Chapter 527 - 527 Award-Winning; Trending Searches! (2) 527 Award-Winning; Trending Searches! (2) He looked even happier than if he had won the Nobel Prize. While everyone was excited, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar foreign number once again. Just like before, Lin Fan chose to pick up the call. ¡°Hello, Professor Lin Fan. I¡¯m Choba, the chairman of the Nobel Committee for medicine.¡± A slightly hoarse voice sounded from the other end. When Lin Fan heard this, a strange look appeared on his face. The president of the Nobel Committee for medicine? ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°Today, the Nobel Committee for Medicine conducted a rigorous selection and finally elected you as the winner of this year¡¯s Nobel Prize in medicine. Congratulations.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± When Lin Fan received the call, he had already expected it, so he answered even faster. After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan saw Hao Zhiwu and the others looking at him questioningly. ¡°It¡¯s a call from the president of the Nobel Committee for medicine. He told me that I won the Nobel Prize in medicine.¡± Hao Zhiwu immediately jumped up. ¡°As expected! I told you that Professor Lin would definitely win the Nobel Prize in medicine, right?! After all, Professor Lin invented the human islet recovery drug! How big of an achievement is this?¡± The other people in the office were still a little stunned. After hearing Hao Zhiwu¡¯s words, they also shouted excitedly. ¡°Three! Three Nobel Prizes!¡± ¡°Heavens!¡± ¡°Professor Lin, you¡¯re too amazing!¡± ¡°I feel like I¡¯m dreaming¡­¡± ¡°There was a long debate on the internet about which Nobel Prize Professor Lin would win. Who would have thought that Professor Lin would win the Nobel Prize in physics, chemistry, and medicine at the same time?¡± ¡°No! Xia Bing and Xia Xue thought of it!¡± When they mentioned this, they could not help but focus their eyes on Xia Bing and Xia Xue. In the past, if Xia Bing and Xia Xue were stared at by so many people, they would definitely be so shy that they wanted to bury their heads. Now, they raised their heads and looked at Lin Fan with their beautiful eyes. Their faces were filled with smiles and blessings. Lin Fan¡­ won three Nobel Prizes! In the eyes of Xia Bing and Xia Xue, Lin Fan¡¯s body was emitting a dazzling light. His entire person seemed to have transformed into a fiery red sun, extremely dazzling! At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang again. This time, there was no exception. It was also a foreign number. Lin Fan had already received three overseas calls. Now that he received another one, he seemed to have gotten used to it and immediately pressed the answer button. ¡°Hello, are you Professor Lin Fan?¡± A burst of fluent English sounded on the phone. Lin Fan said in Chinese, ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± After a while, a magnetic voice came from the phone again. ¡°Professor Lin, how are you? I¡¯m the assistant of Mr. Marko, the chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee. Mr. Marko said that after a vote by all the members of the Nobel Peace Committee, you¡¯ve been decided as the winner of this year¡¯s Nobel Peace Prize¡­¡± After the Nobel Prize in chemistry, the Nobel Prize in physics, and the Nobel Prize in medicine, he also won the Nobel Peace Prize? The weird look on Lin Fan¡¯s face grew even more intense. ¡°Alright.¡± After that, they chatted for a while more before hanging up. Lin Fan looked at everyone in the office and said, ¡°The president of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee called and said that I won the Peace Prize.¡± Silence. The entire office fell silent again. Hao Zhiwu, Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, and the others had thought that Lin Fan might win the Nobel Prize in medicine, physics, or chemistry¡­ However, they had never thought that Lin Fan would win the Nobel Peace Prize. When Lin Fan said that, everyone was completely taken aback. Hao Zhiwu¡¯s ability to accept things seemed to be far better than others. He was the first to react and shouted, ¡°F*ck! Four! Professor Lin won four Nobel Prizes! Awesome, too awesome!¡± The others finally came back to their senses. ¡°The Nobel Peace Prize. That¡¯s right. Professor Lin invented the earthquake prediction device, which detected the earthquake in advance and saved countless people. He deserves the Nobel Peace Prize!¡± ¡°A single person has won four Nobel Prizes. This is absolutely unprecedented!¡± ¡°How is it unprecedented? In the future, there¡¯ll never be someone like that again!¡± ¡°Oh my god, I¡¯m actually the student of a professor with four Nobel Prizes. Am I dreaming?¡± ¡°This is awesome!¡± ¡­ Even if everyone shouted until their voices broke, even if their throats hurt¡­ They did not care about any of it. They were too excited. After Hao Zhiwu finished shouting, his gaze fell on Lin Fan and his phone. He muttered, ¡°I wonder if the chairman of the Nobel Literature Committee will call.¡± When Lin Fan heard this, his lips twitched. A call from the Nobel Literature Committee¡¯s president? ¡®Do you want me to win another Nobel Prize in Literature?¡¯ A single person monopolizing all the Nobel Prizes this year? It seemed pretty good. Unfortunately, Lin Fan had never published any literature. Naturally, he could not win the Nobel Prize in Literature. ¡­ On Weibo. The trending searches included a certain celebrity¡¯s divorce, some common knowledge about life, the plot of a certain TV show, and so on. These sorts of hot trending searches appeared all year round, and many people were already used to them. However, many people still could not help but click on the title to see what was going on. At this moment, an unusual title appeared at the bottom of the trending searches. Every few seconds, the popularity would increase rapidly, and it would continue to rise to the top of the rankings. [Congratulations to Professor Lin Fan for winning four Nobel Prizes!] When everyone saw the title, they could not help but click on it.

He did not care, but many were so excited that they could not control themselves. ¡­ Jiangbei University, the chancellor¡¯s office. Principal Shen Liang looked at the news on Weibo and shouted excitedly, ¡°Good, good, good! That¡¯s great!¡± He picked up his phone and was about to call Lin Fan. However, he quickly put it down and muttered, ¡°No, I have to congratulate him in person!¡± As he spoke, he took skipped toward Lin Fan¡¯s office. That appearance¡­ He was like a child who had just received a certificate. He was extremely happy. It was normal for Shen Liang to be like this. He was an educational worker and a Chinese scholar. It was the most regrettable thing that there was no Chinese Nobel Prize winner in the field of science. Now, this hope had finally been fulfilled! Moreover, Lin Fan won the Nobel Prize in medicine, chemistry, and physics at once. More importantly, this person¡­ was from Jiangbei University! When Shen Liang arrived at the office, the dean of the Mathematics Department, the dean of the Chemistry Department, the dean of the Medical Department, the dean of the Physics Department, and many other professors had already arrived. However, in the office, there were only Hao Zhiwu, Nie Zhenjiang, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, and the other students. Where was Lin Fan? ¡°Professor Lin said that he has something to deal with during this period of time, so he might not come to school for the next few days¡­¡± Hao Zhiwu said. Shen Liang, the deans, and the other professors looked at each other helplessly. It seemed like¡­ they could not congratulate him in person. However, this helplessness came and went quickly. After a while, their faces were filled with excitement again. ¡°Our Chemistry Department is preparing to hold a large-scale report on super batteries¡­¡± ¡°Our Physics Department is preparing for a seminar on earthquake prediction devices¡­¡± ¡­ Shen Liang listened to everyone¡¯s words and nodded repeatedly, ¡°Everyone, work hard together. We must do a good job of promoting Professor Lin Fan. This¡­ This will be the highest priority of Jiangbei University.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± everyone said in unison. ¡­ When Lin Fan saw that he had won the Nobel Prize, the reactions of Hao Zhiwu, Nie Zhenjiang, and the others, as well as the heated discussions on the internet, made Lin Fan realize that things were going to be very troublesome. Lin Fan hated trouble. Thus, he left Jiangbei University and took a few days off. At this moment, Lin Fan had already arrived at the Coiling Dragon Villa. He lay on the soft sofa, swiping his phone while eating the exquisite desserts sent by the two-star Michelin restaurant. He was extremely satisfied. In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. The heavy rain last night made the morning air heavy with a sweet smell. The little caterpillars hiding in the tree holes could not help but crawl out to breathe in the sweet air. While the caterpillars were intoxicated, a ferocious and terrifying giant bird suddenly flew over from afar. It used its terrifying beak to peck down fiercely and directly ate the caterpillars. ¡°I ate another bug!¡± ¡°I also ate a total of bugs!¡± said a little bird beside it. ¡°Let¡¯s continue!¡± Amidst the chirping of the little bird, Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. Out of habit, he glanced at his phone. A message had already appeared on the screen. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 36,790,010 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, Lin Fan turned his attention to the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! You¡¯ve successfully signed in. Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the Time Restaurant.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s expression changed. ¡°Finally, it¡¯s not 10 million.¡± ¡°Time Restaurant? A while ago, I heard Hao Zhiwu say that it¡¯s a restaurant with good food¡­¡± At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s stomach growled. ¡°I don¡¯t have anything to do anyway. I¡¯ll go to Time Restaurant for a meal later. I can also check in on my own restaurant.¡± After saying that, Lin Fan slowly crawled up. After washing up, he picked up the keys to the Cullinan and walked out. He stepped on the gas pedal, and the V12 engine roared like a beast as it sped off into the distance. The security guards standing at the door stood up straight like soldiers being inspected. At this time, it was already past the peak of the morning rush, and every road was relatively empty. About half an hour later, Lin Fan arrived at Time Restaurant. The restaurant had a total of three floors and occupied a large area. The decorations were very warm and comfortable, giving people the feeling of returning home. A round-faced woman about 1.55 meters tall was holding a phone as she walked to the entrance of the Time Restaurant. ¡°Good morning, everyone!¡± she said into her phone. ¡°Recently, I¡¯ve heard a lot of people recommending Time Restaurant in Jiangbei. Today, I¡¯ll try it on behalf of everyone! ¡°Let¡¯s see if the food here is as delicious as everyone has said!¡± The round-faced woman¡¯s name was Li Haiyan, and she was a food streamer with three million fans. Li Haiyan explored restaurants and showed off her good looks. Generally speaking, a round-faced woman who was 1.55 meters tall was not as good-looking. However, her appearance in the live broadcast had strangely changed. She had an oval face, big eyes, and fair skin. Overall, she looked like a beauty who had walked out of a comic. This¡­ This was the magical part of Douyin. It had the magical ability to completely change a person¡¯s appearance. Then, Li Haiyan turned the camera to the entrance of Time Restaurant. Chapter 529 - 529 Food Streamer; Delicious! 529 Food Streamer; Delicious! Soon, a large number of comments appeared like raindrops. Natsuya Kira: [That¡¯s great. I¡¯ve long wanted to try the Time Restaurant.] Shrimp Eyes: [Just looking at the decorations, I think the food is very good.] Xuanyuan Longyi: [Such a big restaurant. It¡¯s over. It¡¯s going to expose Haiyan¡¯s inexperienced appearance again.] Tomb of Heaven and Earth: [Go in quickly.] Trembling BBB: [Let¡¯s donate a little, in case Haiyan can¡¯t afford to eat later.] ¡­ As more and more comments appeared, the number of gifts also increased. Li Haiyan¡¯s small eyes immediately turned into slits as she smiled. However, in the live broadcast room, her eyes turned into crescent moon shapes, which were very beautiful. As a result, more and more gifts were sent. Then, Li Haiyan strolled into Time Restaurant. When she saw the spacious area and the luxurious lamps, her mouth could not help but open wide. Her face was filled with admiration and shock. ¡°Wow! This is too beautiful!¡± Then, she sniffed hard and said, ¡°There¡¯s also a very fragrant smell in the air.¡± No one noticed that there was a faint hint of disdain at the corner of her mouth. The comments in the live broadcast room started rolling again. A Passerby on Earth: [It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. Haiyan is starting to embarrass herself again.] Winter JJ is too cold: [Haiyan, keep a low profile, keep a low profile! You¡¯re in a big restaurant now.] Solitude in the Sea: [Don¡¯t ask too much of Haiyan. After all, she¡¯s just a cute little girl.] ¡­ At this moment, the oval-faced waitress standing at the door smiled and said, ¡°Welcome.¡± Li Haiyan seemed to notice the waitress and praised again, ¡°Is this a high-end restaurant? The waitress is so beautiful and sweet!¡± Although she said that, her face revealed an imperceptible disdain. In the live broadcast room¡­ Prologue Actor: [It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over¡­ Haiyan is hopeless.] Doctor¡¯s Benevolent Heart: [Haiyan, you have to remember that you¡¯re a big food streamer.] ¡­ The waitress blushed. She had never been praised like this before. Li Haiyan seemed to have discovered a new continent and said, ¡°Wow! The beautiful lady blushed. She¡¯s so cute.¡± The oval-faced waitress stuttered, ¡°Do you have an appointment?¡± Li Haiyan said, ¡°No, do I need to make an appointment here? Does that mean I can¡¯t eat here today?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not the case,¡± the oval-faced waitress said. ¡°It¡¯s just that you might not be able to take reserved seats.¡± ¡°As long as I can eat here today.¡± Li Haiyan let out a breath and gently patted her chest. Then, Li Haiyan walked inside under the guidance of the female attendant. When she passed by the small bridge in the middle of the restaurant and the lifelike white crane statue in the middle, she said in surprise, ¡°Wow! There¡¯s actually a small bridge and flowing water in the restaurant. Moreover, there¡¯s a white crane! It¡¯s so beautiful! ¡°I want to take a beautiful photo with the white crane.¡± After saying that, she moved the phone to the white crane and herself, then pressed the shutter button. Finally, Li Haiyan came to a seat by the window. ¡°What would you like to eat, Miss?¡± asked the waitress. ¡°I have to ask my fans first to see if there¡¯s anything delicious.¡± Then, her gaze fell on the live broadcast screen. Nine Elements Infinity: [Beef! Time Restaurant¡¯s M5 steak is their signature dish.] PM: [Get 18 Delicacies, it¡¯s super delicious!] Smile: [10 pounds of lobster!] MMMMM: [Yes, yes, yes, 10 pounds of lobsters and golden fish!] ¡­ Li Haiyan said, ¡°I¡¯ll get M5 steak, 18 Delicacies, 10 pounds of lobster, and golden fish¡­ Hmm, give me a serving of soup too.¡± The waitress could not help but say hesitantly, ¡°Do you have any other friends coming?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m alone,¡± Li Haiyan said. ¡°Then these dishes might be a little too much¡­¡± the waitress reminded her kindly. Long-winded! Li Haiyan looked annoyed. However, she still smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I have a big appetite and eat a lot.¡± Hearing this, the waitress did not say anything more. She said, ¡°Okay, please wait a moment.¡± In the live broadcast room¡­ Bin Bin: [The waitress was actually worried that Haiyan wouldn¡¯t be able to finish her breakfast. She¡¯s really underestimating Haiyan.] MT: [Isn¡¯t that so? Although Haiyan is small, her appetite is not small at all. This is also the reason why I can¡¯t marry Haiyan. I can¡¯t afford to take care of her.] Big Man: [Get lost. You want to marry Haiyan? She¡¯s mine!] Temporary Commenter: [10 pounds of lobster! I really want to see what kind of expression Haiyan will have when she sees a lobster bigger than herself.] ¡­ It had to be said that the efficiency of Time Restaurant was extremely high. Not long after, exquisite delicacies were served. 18 bowls were served for 18 Delicacies, and each bowl was very exquisite and small. This was one of Time Restaurant¡¯s signature dishes, 18 Delicacies. ¡°Wow!¡± Li Haiyan said excitedly. ¡°I can¡¯t even bear to eat such good food.¡± After saying that, she picked up a bowl and put the food into her mouth. ¡°Yes! Delicious!¡± ¡­ In the live broadcast room. Missing: [Why does such a beautiful woman look like she hasn¡¯t eaten?] Path of Asura: [Can¡¯t bear to eat it? I could even see Haiyan drooling from the corner of her mouth.] Mo Wentian: [Saliva? Where? Slurp!] Mermaid Incarnation: [Haiyan, pay attention to your image. You¡¯re a beauty. Why are you licking your fingers?] ¡­ Li Haiyan did not seem to notice the comments and continued to eat seriously. However, without anyone noticing, she quietly threw a few of the bowls into the trash can. At this moment, the M5 steak was served. ¡°Do you wish to pour the sauce on it?¡± the waitress asked. Li Haiyan seemed to be completely attracted by the big, beautiful steak. After a while, she finally reacted and said, ¡°Ah, okay. Pour it, then.¡± After the sauce was poured onto the steak, an alluring fragrance immediately wafted out. Li Haiyan took a deep breath and said, ¡°Wow! It smells so good!¡± Then, she picked up her knife and fork and quickly cut a piece of beef into her mouth. Immediately, Li Haiyan¡¯s eyes widened as she praised, ¡°Delicious!¡± Then, she cut another piece of beef and put it into her mouth. When she picked up the knife and fork again and was about to continue cutting the meat, she felt that it was too slow. Hence, Li Haiyan picked up the entire steak with her hand. ¡°It¡¯s so hot!¡± She yelled twice and stuffed the big piece of beef into her mouth. F*ck! ¡°Delicious! This is awesome!¡± Chapter 530 - 530 Off-Stream; Pay for the Bill?! 530 Off-Stream; Pay for the Bill?! In the live broadcast room, countless comments continued to appear. Little Wen Zi: [Haiyan, you have to remember that you are a girl! You¡¯re a girl!] Misery of Lovesvesickness: [Haiyan actually used her hands to hold the steak and chomp on it. Her face is full of grease, and it even dripped onto her clothes¡­ It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. Her image as a goddess is completely shattered.] Carefree Life: [No way, no way. There are actually people who treat Haiyan as a goddess?] Incarnation of Man and Demon: [The goddess is a goddess, but she¡¯s a psychopath!] ¡­. In the live broadcast, Li Haiyan was completely immersed in the delicious steak and could not extricate herself. In fact¡­ she kept looking for opportunities to quietly throw it into the trash can. Finally, the entire steak was eaten clean. She even looked as if she had not had enough and licked her fingers hard. At this moment, the 10-pound lobster was served. When she saw the arm-long lobster, Li Haiyan¡¯s eyes and mouth widened as she shouted, ¡°Wow! It¡¯s so big! ¡°Do you see that? Such a big lobster! ¡°It¡¯s almost half my height! ¡°Heavens!¡± Li Haiyan could not help but exclaim. Then, she hurriedly picked up the lobster¡¯s pincers and took a big bite. ¡°I¡¯m so satisfied, so satisfied! ¡°Delicious!¡± As she ate, she shouted excitedly as if she was completely immersed in the delicious food. She kept throwing the meat into the trash can where the camera could not see. These delicacies were indeed delicious. However, she was already full when she ate 18 Delicacies. How could she still eat? When Li Haiyan burped, the lobster on the table had been completely devoured by her. She rubbed her stomach and said, ¡°I¡¯m full! Today¡¯s trip to Time Restaurant is over! ¡°See you next time, everyone. ¡°I¡¯m too full. I have to rest now.¡± Mo Wentian: [Haiyan, why don¡¯t you look at how much you¡¯ve eaten?] Wushuang: [Every time I watch Haiyan¡¯s live broadcast, I feel like I can eat two big bowls of rice.] The World Is Mine: [Goodbye, Haiyan.] Unique: [Let¡¯s sponsor her a little so that Haiyan can afford it. I don¡¯t want to see her washing dishes during the next live broadcast.] ¡­ Thus, the live broadcast room received another wave of gifts. Li Haiyan was full of smiles and could not stop thanking the viewers. After a while, she turned off the live-stream. The smile on Li Haiyan¡¯s face instantly disappeared, as if she had suddenly become a different person. At this moment, the oval-faced waitress slowly walked over with a few bags of snacks. She said with a smile, ¡°Hi, these are some snacks prepared by our restaurant. I hope you like them.¡± Li Haiyan glanced at the snacks and said indifferently, ¡°Alright then.¡± She took the snacks and got ready to walk out. The oval-faced waitress was slightly stunned. She saw that Li Haiyan was about to walk out of the restaurant. She could not help but say, ¡°Uhh¡­ Miss, you seem to have forgotten to pay the bill.¡± ¡°The bill?¡± Li Haiyan dragged out her voice and called out. It was as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. ¡°You want me to pay?¡± Li Haiyan said in disbelief. The oval-faced waitress was at a loss. Since she had eaten here, she had to pay the bill. Was this not within reason? Moreover, her meal cost a lot. Thinking of this, she nodded lightly. Seeing this¡­ Li Haiyan was furious and started cursing. ¡°You¡¯re blind! ¡°Do you know who I am? I¡¯m the food streamer, Haiyan! I have more than three million fans on Douyin! ¡°I ate in your restaurant and live-streamed it. How much traffic will this bring you? ¡°I didn¡¯t even ask you for money. How dare you ask me to pay?¡± The oval-faced waitress did not expect the other party to suddenly curse. She did not know what to do. She stammered, ¡°But¡­ Time Restaurant never invited you over¡­¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t invite me? Alright! Do you mean to say that I¡¯m taking advantage of your restaurant¡¯s reputation?! ¡°Call your manager over!¡± Li Haiyan became even angrier. Her voice became very ear-piercing, and her entire face became a little ferocious. Not far away, the general manager in a suit hurriedly walked over when he heard the voices. Even though he did not know what had happened, he still used a very friendly attitude toward Li Haiyan and said, ¡°Miss, I¡¯m sorry for giving you a bad experience. May I ask what happened? I¡¯m Zhang Shiwei, the manager of Time Restaurant.¡± After all, in the service industry, the customer was always right. At this moment, there were still many diners in the restaurant. If this left a bad impression on others, it would definitely be a very bad thing. When Li Haiyan heard that Zhang Shiwei was the manager, she only glanced at him from the corner of her eye. ¡°Manager? You¡¯re here just in time. Do you know that I¡¯m a food streamer with more than three million fans? My name is Haiyan! ¡°I came to visit the restaurant today and broadcasted the entire process to my audience. Do you know how much traffic this will bring to your restaurant? ¡°However, your waitress actually wants me to pay! ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s ridiculous?¡± Zhang Shiwei first smiled apologetically. ¡°I see. I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Then, he whispered to the waitress, ¡°What food did she order?¡± The oval-faced waitress said, ¡°18 Delicacies, M5 steak, soup, and a 10-pound lobster.¡± Zhang Shiwei frowned slightly. If they were ordinary dishes, he would just let it go. However, these dishes were all expensive. The 10-pound lobster cost tens of thousands. Zhang Shiwei stole a glance at Li Haiyan. She looked like she would not give up. He was struggling in his heart. Why not just forget about it? After all, she was a big streamer with three million fans and could not be easily offended. Thinking of this, Zhang Shiwei finally gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Miss Haiyan, I¡¯m sorry. This waiter is a newcomer and doesn¡¯t know the rules¡­¡± However, Li Haiyan continued, ¡°Do you think just saying that she doesn¡¯t know the rules is enough? If the free had been made free earlier, it would¡¯ve been fine! ¡°But she made me unhappy! ¡°Now, everything has to be settled according to the normal rules! ¡°My normal visit to a restaurant costs 200,000 yuan! You just need to pay me 200,000 yuan.¡± Zhang Shiwei¡¯s expression changed slightly. He could still think of a way to exempt the cost of ingredients that amounted to tens of thousands. However, the 200,000 yuan visit fee was definitely not something he could decide directly. Chapter 531 - 531 Threatening; Helping! 531 Threatening; Helping! Zhang Shiwei¡¯s expression changed¡­ After a long while, he said, ¡°Ms. Haiyan, right? I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll have to discuss the cost.¡± Li Haiyan¡¯s face turned cold as she snorted, ¡°A discussion? What was there to discuss? This is the market price! ¡°Although I did a live broadcast and ate a lot of food, I haven¡¯t taken a summary video yet! ¡°If my stomach hurts or something later¡­ I¡¯ll mention it in the summary video too! ¡°When the time comes, all my three million plus fans will be able to see it!¡± A threat! A blatant threat! Zhang Shiwei¡¯s face instantly turned very ugly. The current world was an age of the internet. If a restaurant did not do a good job, the news would spread. Then, the restaurant would definitely suffer a serious blow. It was even possible for it to close down because of this! Zhang Shiwei was the general manager of Time Restaurant. This morning, he had just received news that Time Restaurant had a new owner. Now was the time for him to focus on his performance and satisfy his new boss. If this kind of news was exposed, what would happen to the restaurant¡¯s business? At that time, how would the new boss view him? However, 200,000 yuan for a visit? This¡­ Zhang Shiwei was in a dilemma. The oval-faced waitress standing at the side was completely angered by Li Haiyan¡¯s ugly face. ¡°Manager, we don¡¯t have to care about her!¡± she said angrily. ¡°I don¡¯t believe that she can twist the truth!¡± ¡°Really?¡± Li Haiyan sneered. ¡°Are you sure? Have you considered it?¡± At this moment, a loud voice sounded not far away. ¡°There¡¯s no need to consider!¡± Then, a tall and handsome young man slowly walked over. It was Lin Fan! When Li Haiyan saw Lin Fan, her eyes could not help but shimmer. He was so handsome! Manager Zhang Shiwei¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Was this not the new owner of Time Restaurant? Zhang Shiwei took a few quick steps and hurriedly went up to Lin Fan. He bowed and said in an extremely respectful tone, ¡°Mr. Lin, good day.¡± Lin Fan nodded casually. Then, he said indifferently to Li Haiyan, ¡°First, you have to pay for your meal. Secondly, Time Restaurant won¡¯t give you a single cent for visiting the restaurant.¡± Li Haiyan first broadcasted live in the restaurant, noisily making exclamations while ignoring the others who were eating here. After that, she wasted the food as she pleased. In the end, she even asked for a high fee for visiting the restaurant. This made Lin Fan hate Li Haiyan. Therefore, he did not hold back. ¡­ Li Haiyan¡¯s face darkened slightly. She did not expect a young man to suddenly jump out and say such words to her. She did not answer Lin Fan and turned to Zhang Shiwei. ¡°Manager Zhang, what¡¯s your attitude?¡± ¡°Mr. Lin¡¯s attitude is the same as Time Restaurant¡¯s attitude,¡± said Zhang Shiwei immediately. His tone was clear. Previously, Zhang Shiwei had found it difficult to deal with this matter. Now, Lin Fan was here. He was the boss! It was fine as long as he listened to the boss. Li Haiyan was not angry. ¡°Then let¡¯s see who¡¯ll be the unlucky one in the end!¡± Then, she suddenly bent down and sat on the ground, wailing, ¡°Ahh, my stomach¡­¡± As she spoke, she did not forget to take out her phone and record herself. Li Haiyan pretended to be in great pain and said, ¡°I just ate 18 Delicacies, steak, and lobster from Time Restaurant. Why does it suddenly hurt so much¡­¡± As she spoke, she did not forget to adjust the color of the video, making her entire face look pale as if she was really in pain. It had to be said that Li Haiyan had some skills. Lin Fan said disdainfully, ¡°Stop pretending.¡± However, Li Haiyan did not seem to understand and said, ¡°Pretend¡­ Why should I pretend?¡± She seemed to be in even more pain. She lay on the ground and said, ¡°You¡­ You seem to be the manager and employees of the restaurant, right? Yes¡­ Could you please call an ambulance for me? ¡°Please, I beg of you, please!¡± Then, her phone started shaking violently. Only then did she put away her phone and slowly get up. After all, they were in the restaurant. She did not want too many people to watch, so she just stopped there. What she had just done was enough. Li Haiyan believed that the people in front of her would make the best choice. ¡°What do you think will happen if I upload this footage to my account?¡± After saying that, she slowly raised her neck like a proud white swan waiting for others to look up to her. Lin Fan said, ¡°Really? Then upload it. I really want to know what the result is.¡± Li Haiyan raised her eyebrows and turned to Zhang Shiwei. ¡°Manager Zhang, do you have the same opinion?¡± Zhang Shiwei glanced at Lin Fan and said, ¡°We¡¯ll listen to Mr. Lin.¡± ¡°Fine! Don¡¯t regret it!¡± Li Haiyan said sternly. Then, she edited and edited the video and uploaded it directly to her account. Lin Fan took out his phone and found the number of Alphabet¡¯s chairman, Zhang Daming. He called him directly. A long time ago, Lin Fan signed in and obtained 5% of Alphabet Jump¡¯s shares. Although 5% did not seem like much, it made Lin Fan the third largest shareholder. Alphabet was the parent company of Douyin. Back when he held Ling Rou¡¯s concert, Douyin had helped a lot. After a while, the call was connected, and Zhang Daming¡¯s very respectful voice came from the other end. ¡°Mr. Lin, good afternoon! In the morning, I suddenly heard a magpie chirping. I was wondering what sort of good news was going to bestow me today. It turns out to be a call from you!¡± This was obviously a joke. He even flattered him inadvertently. At the same time, it could also help to close the relationship between the two of them. It had to be said that since Zhang Daming was able to establish a big company like Alphabet, his techniques and abilities were strong. On the other hand, he was also good at dealing with interpersonal relationships! Of course, if it were an ordinary person, Zhang Daming would definitely not be so ingratiating. Firstly, Lin Fan was the third largest shareholder of Alphabet. Secondly, he knew that Lin Fan had been increasing his shares and acquiring Penguin Group and Little Tanuki Group. His shares in those companies amounted to 80% Penguin Group and Little Tanuki Group could be acquired with 80% of the shares. What about Alphabet? Zhang Daming understood that Lin Fan had terrifying strength. He was someone he could not afford to offend. Lin Fan did not care about Zhang Daming¡¯s flattery and said directly, ¡°Mr. Zhang, can you do me a favor?¡± Zhang Daming¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, ¡°Mr. Lin, please go ahead.¡± Chapter 532 - 532 Take Charge; Punishment! (1) 532 Take Charge; Punishment! (1) Zhang Daming was both excited and nervous. He was excited that Lin Fan was asking for his help. This was definitely a good time to get closer to him. What made him nervous was that for a big shot like Lin Fan to personally call for help, it was definitely not a small matter! What if he could not solve it? Then what should we do? Lin Fan said, ¡°There¡¯s a food streamer called Haiyan on your Douyin. She made a fake video to slander my Time Restaurant. Help me ban her video and account.¡± Zhang Daming was slightly stunned. Banning a food streamer? Was it that simple? After a while, Zhang Daming saw that Lin Fan did not continue to speak. He immediately promised, ¡°A food streamer actually dared to shoot a video to frame your restaurant! ¡°I¡¯ll ban her now!¡± ¡°Alright,¡± said Lin Fan. ¡°Also, I¡¯ll send you a video later. Help me promote it.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Lin!¡± Zhang Daming said. Li Haiyan, who was standing at the side, heard all of it. However, she did not care at all. Instead, she sneered and said, ¡°Ban me? Alright, then I suggest you hurry up¡­ ¡°Otherwise, my video is going to be spread all over the internet by my three million fans. Hahaha!¡± At this moment, Li Haiyan¡¯s phone vibrated slightly. She picked up her phone and glanced at it casually. In the next moment¡­ Li Haiyan¡¯s pupils constricted. That was because a message had popped up on her app: [Your account has been permanently banned for violating the relevant regulations. All videos will be removed.] Then, she quickly entered her account. Everything¡­ was blank. Immediately after, a prompt box popped up. [Sorry, your account has been frozen and can¡¯t be used. Please exit.] There was nothing else. Her account was gone! Li Haiyan had invested a lot of money to promote this account and attract popularity. It was not easy to accumulate three million fans, and now there were none? The money invested in the early stage had not been earned back yet and the account was gone?! No! No! She would file a complaint! She did not violate the rules. She hurriedly dialed Douyin¡¯s official number. ¡°Hello, Douyin at your service. May I help you?¡± The call went through, and a very pleasant voice sounded from the other end. Li Haiyan said, ¡°I¡¯m Li Haiyan. My Douyin ID is Haiyan. Why is my account frozen? The videos were all taken down! Do you know how much loss this will bring me? Hurry up and recover them!¡± As soon as she opened her mouth, it was like a barrage of cannonballs that bombarded wildly. The female customer service officer frowned slightly. She really disliked people like her who had no manners. The female customer service officer took a deep breath and suppressed the unhappiness in her heart. Then, her hands moved quickly on the keyboard. Soon, she found information about Haiyan. There was only a single line of comments on it: [Violated relevant regulations, permanently frozen¡ª Zhang Daming.] Seeing this¡­ The female customer service officer¡¯s pupils constricted. Who was Zhang Daming? The chairman of Douyin! He had personally banned this account. Let alone a small streamer with three million fans, even those big streamers with tens of millions of fans would definitely remain banned! In addition, the other party was personally banned by the chairman. It was very likely that she had offended the chairman. At the thought of this, the female customer service officer¡¯s voice became much colder. ¡°Sorry, your account has violated the relevant regulations and has been permanently frozen. Goodbye.¡± After saying that, she hung up. ¡°Hey, hey, hey!¡± Li Haiyan did not expect the customer service officer to hang up the phone directly. After a while, all she got was a hurried busy tone. ¡°How dare you hang up on me?!¡± Then, she dialed Douyin¡¯s official number again. This time, it was a male customer service officer. When he saw Haiyan¡¯s account, his attitude was not much different from the female customer service officer¡¯s. He only said that she had gone against the rules and hung up. Li Haiyan was even angrier after being hung up several times in a row. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to unban me?¡± she asked sternly. ¡°Fine! I¡¯ll register a new account and post all these things!¡± Hence, she quickly registered. However, when she logged in, a video popped up. If it was a normal video, it would have been fine. Li Haiyan would definitely choose to close it. However¡­ This video was of her. ¡°Miss, you seem to have forgotten to pay the bill just now.¡± ¡°The bill? ¡°Are you blind?! ¡°Do you know who I am? I¡¯m the food streamer, Haiyan! I have more than three million fans on Douyin! ¡°I ate in your restaurant and live-streamed it. How much traffic will this bring you? ¡°I haven¡¯t even asked you for money yet. How dare you ask me to pay?¡± ¡­ ¡°Now, everything has to be settled according to the normal rules! ¡°I charge 200,000 yuan for a restaurant visit! You just need to pay me 200,000 yuan.¡± ¡­ ¡°Ah, my stomach¡­ ¡°I just ate 18 Delicacies, steak, and lobster from Time Restaurant. Why does it suddenly hurt so much¡­¡± Below the video, there were already close to 100,000 comments. Cherrim: [I think she¡¯s very suitable to play the villain.] FIL: [This is Haiyan? This flat-faced woman¡­ Heavens! She looks very different in her own videos!] Ordinary Person: [She didn¡¯t pay for the meal and even demanded a visit fee. 200,000? Pah!] Dragon King: [Yeah.] Jun Zhi ZN: [She¡¯s too good at acting.] Chapter 533 - 533 Take Charge; Punishment! (2) 533 Take Charge; Punishment! (2) Masked Man: [No wonder she was banned. She deserved it!] ¡­ Seeing this, Li Haiyan¡¯s eyes widened completely, and thin beads of sweat covered her forehead. Someone had actually taken a video of her. Moreover, so many people had seen it. So many comments¡­ It was over, it was over¡­ Then, Li Haiyan seemed to have thought of something. Her gaze landed on Lin Fan. Just now¡­ it seemed like Lin Fan had made a phone call and said that he wanted to ban her and promote a video. Then, she was banned. In the blink of an eye, this video was commented on by tens of thousands of people. It was him! It was him! It was him! Li Haiyan¡¯s heart trembled. Just a phone call was enough to do this¡­ Who exactly was he? Li Haiyan cried, ¡°M-Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry. It was my fault just now¡­¡± As she spoke, she seemed to want to hug Lin Fan¡¯s arm. ¦Ñ¦Ánd¦Ásn¦Ïv¦Ål.c¦Ïm However, Lin Fan glared at her and said, ¡°Don¡¯t come near me!¡± This glance scared Li Haiyan so much that her heart trembled again, and she immediately stopped in her tracks. Lin Fan continued, ¡°You should pay the price for your actions.¡± ¡°Mr. Lin, I was really wrong. Please, spare me¡­¡± Li Haiyan hurriedly said. Lin Fan seemed to be annoyed by her voice and said coldly, ¡°Leave now. Otherwise, I guarantee that the punishment just now is only the beginning.¡± When Li Haiyan heard this, her heart inexplicably tightened. She opened her mouth but did not dare to say anything else. She was afraid. She was afraid that if she continued to say anything, there would be terrible consequences. The other party definitely had the ability to do make things hard for her! At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps at the door. Two women of medium build were on their phones as they walked in. When one of the women saw Li Haiyan, she could not help but say in surprise, ¡°Look, is that Haiyan?¡± The woman next to her said, ¡°This flat-faced woman¡­ Yes, it¡¯s Haiyan!¡± ¡°After doing such a shameless thing, why is she still in Time Restaurant?¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± As they talked, they turned on their cameras one after another. While they were talking, another person walked in. They said similar things and pointed at Li Haiyang. Li Haiyan¡¯s face turned red when she heard what everyone said. She lowered her head, no longer in the mood to stay. ¡­ To Lin Fan, Li Haiyan¡¯s matter was just a small matter. He wanted to be left alone. Under the arrangement of the manager, Zhang Shiwei, Lin Fan went to a luxurious private room and had a sumptuous lunch. Originally, Zhang Shiwei wanted to report the situation at Time Restaurant. However, Lin Fan stopped him. He said that things would be the same as before and that the restaurant would just operate normally. After eating his fill, Lin Fan drove the Cullinan on the wide road. In front of a red light, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. 12:00 PM! The red packets were here! Taking advantage of his free time, Lin Fan quickly clicked on them. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 9,999 yuan.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 88 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received one billion Sharkstream coins.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained 10% of the shares of Starbucks Coffee.] This time, Lin Fan received a total of 48,991 yuan, one billion Sharkstream coins, and 10% of the shares of Starbucks Coffee. The market value of Starbucks Coffee was close to 800 billion yuan. 10% of the shares meant that Lin Fan had received 80 billion yuan! To Lin Fan, money was just a string of numbers. However, he still nodded in satisfaction and said, ¡°Finally, it¡¯s not all cash.¡± As he spoke, he was about to put down his phone. But at that moment, Lin Fan accidentally tapped the DiDi app. In almost a second, he had accepted an order. Just as Lin Fan was about to cancel the order¡­ The Cullinan¡¯s car door was opened. A woman in a white short skirt with a voluptuous figure and an exquisite face slowly got in. ¡°This car is so big,¡± the woman praised. Obviously, she was the passenger who had placed the order. Lin Fan looked at the destination. It was not far, only about 10 kilometers away. In addition, he had nothing to do now, so he would just treat it as a casual drive. Hence, Lin Fan did not cancel the order and did not ask the woman to go down. He stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped forward like a beast. The woman looked out the window at the rapidly disappearing buildings and praised again, ¡°So fast!¡± Then, she did not forget to look around the car. ¡°What kind of car is this? A BMW?¡± the woman asked. Before Lin Fan could reply, the woman exclaimed, ¡°The starry sky! This is a Rolls-Royce?¡± Then, her beautiful eyes which were as bright as the stars looked at Lin Fan. With one look¡­ The woman¡¯s beautiful eyes lit up even more. He had well-defined facial features and strong arms! He was so handsome! Perhaps it was because she was in the car, but the woman¡¯s face turned red and her heart beat faster. After a while, the woman said, ¡°Hey, uh¡­ What do you think of me?¡± As she spoke, she deliberately straightened her body as if she wanted to free her chest from the shackles of her clothes. Then, the woman introduced herself, ¡°My name is Su Wen. I¡¯m 20 years old this year. I¡¯m 165 centimeters tall, I weigh 45 kg, and my measurements are 88, 61, and 89. ¡°Can I add you on WeChat?¡± Sitting in the driver¡¯s seat, Lin Fan almost choked on his own saliva. What the hell? Did women have to introduce themselves like this before asking to be added on WeChat? This woman even reported her measurements? Lin Fan stepped on the brakes and stopped the car. ¡°We¡¯re here. Also, I have a girlfriend.¡± When Su Wen heard this, she lowered her head and slowly walked out. As soon as she got out of the car, a determined look appeared on her face. ¡°We can still add each other on WeChat first¡­¡± However, what responded to her was the roar of the engine, which sounded like a beast. The Cullinan galloped off into the distance. Seeing this¡­ Su Wen looked at the tail lights of the car from afar and said regretfully, ¡°I should¡¯ve said that earlier.¡± ¡­ That was just a small interlude. Lin Fan drove the Cullinan to Feiyang Building, ready to hang out with Chu Yunyue. Unfortunately, Chu Yunyue was out of town today. Hence, Lin Fan quickly returned downstairs. He accidentally saw Starbucks on the first floor and muttered, ¡°I¡¯ll go in and rest for a while. I¡¯ll try the taste of the coffee too.¡± After all, he was now one of the owners of Starbucks. As soon as he walked in, Lin Fan nodded his head in approval even though he had not drunk his coffee yet. Not to mention the taste of the coffee, just the decorations and the atmosphere inside were enough to attract people. After drinking a mouthful of coffee, Lin Fan muttered, ¡°The taste is rather ordinary¡­¡± He looked at the endless stream of people in the shop and said, ¡°Is it mostly because of the interior?¡± There were people reading books, people using computers to study, and people whispering¡­ Lin Fan did not bring his books or laptop and did not have any acquaintances to chat with. Therefore, he took out his phone and prepared to play with it. At this moment, he happened to see the Sharkstream app. Without much hesitation, he clicked on it. After all, he had just obtained one billion Sharkstream coins not too long ago. He could just leave someone a tip. Lin Fan¡¯s gaze quickly landed on Xiang Xiang¡¯s live stream. At that time, his roommate Zheng Jinbao liked Xiang Xiang very much. Later on, he tipped her a few times. At this moment, Xiang Xiang was singing ¡®Encounter¡¯ in the live broadcast room. ¡°I think, I wait, I look forward to it, but the future can¡¯t be arranged because of this¡­¡± Coincidentally, Lin Fan still remembered the first time he watched Xiang Xiang¡¯s live broadcast. She was also singing this song. However, at that time, the live broadcast room was not popular at all. Now, Xiang Xiang had become a big streamer who had defeated the top three streamers of Sharkstream. However, this did not make her arrogant. Her singing was still as serious and pleasant as ever. Lin Fan could not help but nod his head. At this moment, Xiang Xiang, who was originally singing seriously, suddenly opened her mouth wide. That was because a dazzling golden notification had appeared in the live broadcast room: [Welcome to the live broadcast room, Work Slayer!] Chapter 534 - 534 Education; Meeting the Real Person! 534 Education; Meeting the Real Person! In fact¡­ Xiang Xiang was not the only one who noticed the notification in the live broadcast room. Many of the audience also noticed it. Click here: [F*ck! Am I seeing things? I actually saw the appearance of Work Slayer!] Unique: [Work Slayer has finally appeared!] Words Said in the Wind: [I love him!] Song: [Worki Slayer? Is he famous? Why are there so many people flooding the screen?] Fahai Doesn¡¯t Understand Love: [The person above seems to be a newcomer! He doesn¡¯t even know Work Slayer.] Yu Haitang: [Do you guys have to be so excited?] One, Two, Three Wooden Figures: [Work Slayer is superior! Let¡¯s welcome Work Slayer!] Love You: [Work Slayer is superior! Let¡¯s welcome Work Slayer!] Motherf*cker: [Work Slayer is superior! Let¡¯s welcome Work Slayer!] ¡­ Even though Lin Fan had not come to the live-streaming room for a long time, there were always legends about him being spread. Lin Fan rubbed his nose and tapped on the tip. One. 10. 100. 500. ¡­ In just the blink of an eye, the entire live broadcast room was filled with dense rockets. Little Treasure: [Rocket! So many rockets! Heavens!] Erli: [Work Slayer is starting to tip again!] Zhang Xiaoguang: [Who was the one who questioned who he was just now? Tell me now!] Duoduo¡¯s Falcon: [Work Slayer, you¡¯re awesome!] Beigu Laughter: [Awesome!] Mao Zhixin: [Awesome!] ¡­ It was also at this moment that Xiang Xiang snapped back to her senses from Lin Fan¡¯s sudden appearance. She said happily, ¡°Thank you, Work Slayer.] Work Slayer: [You¡¯re welcome. Please sing ¡®Those Years¡¯ for me.] Lin Fan remembered that the first song he requested from Xiang Xiang was Those Years. Xiang Xiang replied, ¡°Alright, alright.¡± The music started. When Lin Fan first heard Xiang Xiang sing, he could hear the liveliness and serenity in her voice. Now, there was a different kind of longing. The song ended. Work Slayer: [You sang very well.] Hence, he started to tip again. 10! 100! 300! 500! ¡­ There were dense rockets again, covering the entire live broadcast room. Lamp: [Ahhhh! I love you!] Yuwen: [Awesome!] Love You Forever: [Awesome!] Silence: [99,999!] ¡­ The commotion in Xiang Xiang¡¯s live broadcast room quickly attracted the attention of the other streamers. Momo: [Wow! Work Slayer is here!] Xiao Ai: [I¡¯m so happy to see Work Slayer again!] ¡­ If it were anyone else, they would not be so excited. However, they had seen Lin Fan in real life and knew how handsome he was. They also knew how terrifying his strength was. Lin Fan entered Momo¡¯s and Xiao Ai¡¯s streams and gave them 1,000 rockets each. After all, they were friends. ¡°Thank you, Work Slayer!¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± Momo and Xiao Ai shouted excitedly. Just as Lin Fan was done tipping, a middle-aged man wearing silver-rimmed glasses looked over. He saw Lin Fan at the top of the donation list and the streamers thanking him. His eyes moved slightly. The man with silver-rimmed glasses said in a very mature tone, ¡°Young man, how much did you tip this streamer?¡± Lin Fan raised his eyes and said, ¡°One million.¡± The man with silver-rimmed glasses shook his head. ¡°You gave her a million just just to get a word of thanks? ¡°You should add her as a friend, no?¡± Lin Fan nodded. He had indeed added these streamers as friends. The silver-rimmed glasses man revealed an expression as if he had expected it and said, ¡°She should take the initiative to chat with you and call you some sweet nicknames in a very pleasant voice, right? ¡°Just like that, you tipped her one million? ¡°You know what? You shouldn¡¯t assume that her voice is nice and her appearance is good just from the live broadcast. Have you ever seen her in person? Maybe she¡¯s not even a woman.¡± The silver-rimmed glasses man liked to talk to people in such an educational tone. Because if he did that, the other party would quickly lower their head and admit their mistake. He enjoyed this feeling very much. It was a feeling of being pretentious. Lin Fan said calmly, ¡°I¡¯ve seen her in person.¡± This sentence made the silver-rimmed glasses man feel as if he had punched cotton. He went limp. He could not help but clear his throat. ¡°I won¡¯t ask you where you got the money. However, you should calculate how long it would take you to earn one million yuan and see if you should tip that much.¡± Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, ¡°If it¡¯s one million¡­ Well, we¡¯ve talked for so long, so I should have earned it back.¡± Lin Fan was not exaggerating when he said that. One had to know¡­ Now, Lin Fan owned 80% of Penguin Group and Little Tanuki Group¡¯s shares. In addition, he also owned the patents for carbon-based chips and two types of super batteries. In addition, he also had dividends from other large companies¡­ In a month, earning tens of billions was probably not a problem. They had been chatting for a minute, and he had really profited. The silver-framed man almost laughed out loud when he heard this. He was about to speak. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone vibrated. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 5,218,000,000 yuan was deposited into your account. Note: Dahua Group¡¯s May profit dividends.] Seeing this¡­ The silver-rimmed glasses man¡¯s body stiffened slightly. ¦Ñ¦Ánd¦Ás¦­¦Ïv¦Ål ?¦Ïm This was a text message from the official website of Merchant Bank. It was not fake news! 5.2 billion! Dahua Group¡¯s May profit dividends! [Notice from Merchant Bank: 1,200,900,000 yuan was deposited into your account. Note: Yadi Group¡¯s May profit dividends.] The silver-rimmed glasses man¡¯s body stiffened again. 1.2 billion! Yadi Group¡¯s May profit dividends! [Notice from Merchant Bank: 2,091,100,000 yuan was deposited into your account. Note: Flower Stem¡¯s May profit dividends.] The silver-rimmed glasses man¡¯s body froze. Two billion! Flower Stem¡¯s May profit dividends! Heavens! What was the identity of this young man in front of him? What kind of existence was he trying to show off in front of? At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s face broke into a smile as he slowly raised his head. The silver-rimmed glasses man¡¯s face instantly turned red. To him, this was pure mockery! However, the other party did have the right to mock him. Without waiting for Lin Fan to speak, the man with silver-rimmed glasses lowered his head and ran outside. Embarrassing! It was too embarrassing! However, the silver-rimmed glasses man did not know that Lin Fan didn¡¯t mean to mock him. The reason why he smiled was because a clear notification sounded in his mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve completed the hidden mission¡ªhave funds exceeding 100 billion yuan. You¡¯ve received five platinum packets.] Chapter 535 - 535 Semester Ends; Return! 535 Semester Ends; Return! Platinum packets! He had not received any for a long time. Lin Fan did not stay in Starbucks for long. He drove the Cullinan, which was parked outside, straight toward the Coiling Dragon Villa. He could not wait to open the five platinum packets and see what he could get. Lin Fan sat on the soft sofa and placed his attention on the platinum packets. ¡°Open them!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received nine million yuan.] ¡°I haven¡¯t opened a platinum packet for so long. Why did I get such trash?¡± Lin Fan pursed his lips. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a double shares coupon.] ¡°It¡¯s barely okay,¡± Lin Fan mumbled. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five million yuan.] ¡°Money again?¡± Lin Fan said helplessly. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a one yuan critical hit card.] ¡°Spending one yuan to get 100 million? It¡¯s trash again,¡± Lin Fan said. [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received five million yuan.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan said, ¡°It seems like my luck hasn¡¯t been too good recently. Out of five platinum packets, only one is barely passable.¡± As he spoke, he turned his attention to the double shares coupon. ¡°Alphabet seems pretty good.¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve successfully used the double shares coupon on Alphabet Group. You now own 10% of Alphabet Group¡¯s shares.] ¡­ At this moment, Zhang Daming was holding a high-level meeting. A secretary with a good figure whispered into Zhang Daming¡¯s ear. In the next moment¡­ Zhang Daming opened his eyes wide and said, ¡°What?¡± He suddenly stood up, his face full of anxiety. His secretary told him¡­ Lin Fan bought a large amount of Alphabet¡¯s shares until his shares reached 10%! 10%! At this moment, Lin Fan had already become the second-largest shareholder of Alphabet! Zhang Daming was very clear about how terrifying Lin Fan¡¯s strength was. He was a terrifying existence who completely controlled Penguin Group and Little Tanukie Corporation! The other party had done such a thing. How had he offended him? Zhang Daming¡¯s mind spun for a while, and soon, his thoughts fell on the streamer, Haiyan, who had been banned not long ago. Could it be that Lin Fan felt that he had not tried his best to punish her? Was he warning him? That was right! That must be the case! When Zhang Daming thought of this, he said in a hurry, ¡°Increase the traffic of those who criticize the streamer, Haiyan!¡± Although the secretary did not know why the chairman suddenly made such a decision, she responded hurriedly, ¡°Yes.¡± Poor Li Haiyan once again rushed to the trending list. No matter where she went, she would become the object of ridicule. ¡­ Lin Fan did not care about any of this at all. Just like what he said, one had to pay the price of their consequences. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed. Today, Lin Fan headed straight to Jiangbei University after breakfast. After all, it was not good for a teacher to let their students study on their own for a long time. Moreover, today was the last day of the semester. On the last day, he should help the students solve the problems of the semester. At that moment, several bright banners were hung in front of the gate of Jiangbei University. [Congratulations to Professor Lin Fan for winning the Nobel Prize in chemistry!] [Congratulations to Professor Lin Fan for winning the Nobel Prize in physics!] [Congratulations to Professor Lin for winning the Nobel Prize in medicine!] [Congratulations to Professor Lin Fan for winning the Nobel Peace Prize!] ¦Ñ¦Ánd¦Ásn¦Ïv¦Ål.c¦Ïm Many students who were coming in and out of the school stopped and took pictures of the banners and the school gates with their phones. Four Nobel Prizes. It was a very prestigious matter worthy of sending it to their friends. Lin Fan was already used to his name hanging on the banners, so he did not care at all. Just as he walked into the office, Hao Zhiwu, who was pouring tea, noticed him and said excitedly, ¡°Professor Lin, you¡¯re a great man!¡± Jiang Chaoqun, Nie Zhenjiang, Liu Qianqian, and the others turned around and looked at him. Their eyes were filled with admiration. Xia Bing and Xia Xue took out a bottle of energy drink each and handed them out. Lin Fan took them and took a sip out of each. ¡°Are there any questions that you can¡¯t answer recently?¡± ¡°Professor Lin, I wrote a thesis. What do you think?¡± Hao Zhiwu said. As he spoke, he handed over a stack of documents. Lin Fan did not wait any longer and started flipping through the pages. In just a few seconds, he had finished reading the thesis. Hao Zhiwu usually looked like a boisterous person who loved to play games, but he was still a good student. Lin Fan said, ¡°You have a good understanding of the nervous system. However, there are still some flaws. Send me the electronic version. I¡¯ll edit it and then I¡¯ll help you try submitting it to Science.¡± Hao Zhiwu¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and he said excitedly, ¡°Yes, Professor Lin!¡± Science was the top journal of almost all scientific research categories. Only Nature could compare to it. If he could publish a paper in Science, it would definitely be a big deal. When the others heard this, they all cast envious gazes at Hao Zhiwu. At this moment, Liu Qianqian said, ¡°Professor Lin, I¡¯ve also written a thesis¡­¡± ¡°Send me the electronic version,¡± said Lin Fan. After a pause, he said, ¡°The same for the others too. Just send it to me when you¡¯re done.¡± Lin Fan had just sat down when several emails popped up. They were papers from Hao Zhiwu, Liu Qianqian, Jiang Chaoqun, and Nie Zhenjiang. Liu Qianqian and the others were already the top existences among the many students. In addition to the hard work they had put in during this period of time, everyone had improved greatly. Everyone¡¯s thesis was very good. With Lin Fan¡¯s editing and polishing, these theses had the possibility of being published in top journals. ¡­ Like most teachers, Lin Fan did not have a full day of classes on the last day before summer break. They knew that the students¡¯ minds were no longer on school. In addition, there were many students who needed to take the train home. However, Lin Fan decided not to have a full day of class for another reason. He wanted to go home for lunch. As it was noon, it was not the peak hour for work, so there were not many cars on the road. Lin Fan drove the Cullinan across several roads and drove straight onto the highway. Then, like a ferocious beast, he sped toward Qing City. About an hour later, the familiar four streets appeared in his vision. Just as he parked his car and walked out, a familiar figure ran over from afar. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re back!¡± It was Lin Xiaoyao. Lin Xiaoyao shouted from afar and then threw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s arms. Chapter 536 - 536 Obtained; Game! 536 Obtained; Game! ¡°How old are you?¡± Lin Fan scolded. ¡°Why are you still pouncing on me like this?¡± Then, he reached out and pinched Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s fair face. ¡°You¡¯ve lost weight again. Hurry up and eat more. It¡¯s more comfortable to pinch you when you have some meat in your cheeks.¡± Lin Xiaoyao pouted her lips and turned around. ¡°Mom! Look, Brother is saying the same thing again!¡± Dai Weixue walked over from afar and said, ¡°Lil Fan, why didn¡¯t you say you were coming back? I didn¡¯t buy any groceries. You haven¡¯t had lunch yet, right?¡± Lin Fan¡¯s family had a habit. Whenever Lin Fan and Lin Xiaoyao returned home from school or other places, they would prepare a large table of sumptuous dishes for them. Lin Fan naturally knew about this habit. He smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m not picky. I¡¯ll just eat a little.¡± ¡°I think there¡¯s some meat in the fridge,¡± Dai Weixue said. Smoke rose up, and a fragrance that only came from home-cooked food quickly filled the entire house. Not long after, green pepper shredded pork, dried pork, mushroom lean meat soup, fried beef with onions, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and other very ordinary dishes were served on the table. At this moment, Lin Tao also returned. He casually turned on the TV and picked up the bowl and chopsticks, saying, ¡°Lil Fan, you guys should be on summer vacation, right?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan said. As he spoke, Lin Fan picked up a large piece of meat and put it into his mouth, enjoying it very much. When he was in Jiangbei, Lin Fan had abalone and lobsters almost every day. It was extremely luxurious. However, luxurious dishes could never compare to the food made by his mother. ¡°Eat slowly. Don¡¯t choke,¡± Dai Weixue said. Lin Fan said, ¡°I can¡¯t help it. Your dishes are too delicious.¡± Dai Weixue smiled. ¡°Child, you¡¯ve become a sweet-talker after going to university.¡± ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°How was the final exam? You didn¡¯t fail, right?¡± Lin Tao asked. In the eyes of parents, children were forever children. As for the children who were still studying, the topic of studies could never be ignored¡­ Even though Lin Fan had already displayed his extraordinary side, it was still the same. ¡°Oh, I forgot to tell you. I¡¯m no longer a student at Jiangbei University,¡± Lin Fan said. Lin Tao and Dai Weixue could not help but look up. Lin Fan cleared his throat and said, ¡°I¡¯m a professor at Jiangbei University now, so I don¡¯t have to take exams.¡± ¡°Professor?!¡± ¡°Really?¡± Lin Tao¡¯s and Dai Weixue¡¯s voices were raised. A professor was definitely a high and mighty intellectual. It was rare for them to even meet one. Lin Fan nodded his head. ¡°Yes.¡± At this moment, the news report was playing on the television. ¡°Congratulations to Professor Lin Fan of Jiangbei University for winning the Nobel Prize in physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace¡­¡± Lin Tao opened his mouth and said in a trembling voice, ¡°The one they¡¯re talking about is¡­¡± Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯m the Lin Fan the news is talking about.¡± Silence! The entire living room suddenly fell silent! Even though Lin Tao and Dai Weixue had only attended junior high school, they had heard of the Nobel Prize. That was the highest academic award in the world! In the end, their son obtained four! In fact¡­ This news had been broadcasted many times. At that time, they even said that this Nobel Prize winner had the same name as their son. However, Lin Tao and Dai Weixue did not think too much about it. After all, their son was only a student at Jiangbei University. In addition, they also felt that their son would not be able to obtain such awards. In the end, it was true! How could this not surprise them? Lin Xiaoyao was the first to react. She shouted, ¡°F*ck, this is awesome!¡± If it were in the past, Lin Xiaoyao would have been reprimanded for cursing. Today, however, Dai Weixue and Lin Tao did not have such thoughts. ¡°Lil Fan, how did you win so many Nobel Prizes?¡± Dai Weixue asked. Lin Fan said, ¡°I invented some things and won the prizes out of nowhere.¡± If this was heard by some big shots, who knew what they would think? The meal slowly came to an end as Lin Fan enjoyed the delicious food and Lin Tao and Dai Weixue were shocked. After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Fan sat on the sofa and sipped on Spirit Tea, feeling extremely satisfied. Lin Xiaoyao, on the other hand, was holding her tablet and watching a TV show seriously. An hour passed, and she had not changed her posture. Lin Fan could not help but ask, ¡°What show are you watching? Are you that obsessed?¡± As he spoke, he even moved his head closer. He saw many people wearing green clothes. They were either running or fighting. It was very intense. ¡°Tentacle World!¡± Lin Xiaoyao said. ¡°It¡¯s been very popular recently. It¡¯s a very good TV show!¡± In fact, this was also the reason why Lin Xiaoyao did not know that Lin Fan had won the Nobel Prize. For the past few days, she was completely immersed in the TV show called Tentacle World and could not extricate herself. She did not pay attention to any news at all. ¡°Are Corean shows that good?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°I don¡¯t like Corean people either, but this show is indeed very good!¡± Lin Xiaoyao said. ¡°There are all kinds of levels in the game, and they¡¯re very exciting! ¡°I heard that Jiangbei already has the script to remake Tentacle World!¡± Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s eyes sparkled as she spoke. Clearly, she was very passionate about this. Then, Lin Xiaoyao seemed to have thought of something and said, ¡°Brother, I got into Jiangbei University!¡± Lin Fan said happily, ¡°Really? Not bad, not bad!¡± After all, Jiangbei University was the best university in Jiang Province. At the same time, it was also one of the top ten universities in the country. However, with Lin Fan¡¯s current strength, a diploma or something like that was useless. Even so, it was a good thing for his sister to be able to get in and experience the good atmosphere of Jiangbei University. Lin Xiaoyao blinked her big eyes and said, ¡°Brother, do you remember what you said last time? If I get into Jiangbei University, you¡¯ll promise me one thing.¡± ¡°What do you want?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Brother, I want to play Tentacle World!¡± Lin Xiaoyao said with a smile. Lin Fan was stunned. It was not that her request was difficult. After all, Lin Xiaoyao had just mentioned that Jiangbei had come up with a script to produce it. The reason he was stunned was that a clear voice sounded in his mind. [Ding! Mission triggered¡ªhost a large-scale Tentacle World event with more than 500 people and receive more than 80% of positive comments from the participants. Reward: Five golden packets.] After a while, Lin Fan came back to his senses and smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely bring you to have the most fun at Tentacle World.¡± Chapter 537 - 537 Reporting; Registration! 537 Reporting; Registration! The next day. By the time Lin Fan got up from his bed, the sun was already hanging above the treetops, emitting an incomparably dazzling light. Even though the bed at home was not as soft, spacious, and luxurious as the one in the Coiling Dragon Villa, it gave Lin Fan an indescribable sense of comfort and warmth. Lin Fan looked at his phone. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 75,449,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, he placed his attention on the sign-in system. ¡°Sign-in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 10% of the shares of Naifei Corporation.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up. One had to know¡­ Naifei Corporation was a world-renowned film and television company with a market value of nearly two trillion yuan. In other words, he had earned 200 billion from today¡¯s check-in! Of course, money was still a small matter. The most important thing was that this proved that his good luck had come again! In addition, after triggering the mission yesterday, Lin Fan had specially checked that Tentacle World was filmed by Naifei Corporation. He was about to hold the Tentacle World event, so he had to prepare some necessary authorization in advance. Otherwise, it might cause some trouble. Lin Fan hated trouble. Yesterday, he was still thinking of looking for the other party¡¯s contact information. Now, it seemed that he no longer needed to. At this moment, Lin Fan¡¯s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown number from overseas. ¡°Hello, is this Mr. Lin?¡± As soon as the call connected, fluent English sounded. Lin Fan said in Chinese, ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± The voice on the phone stopped abruptly. After a while, a magnetic voice sounded. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. I¡¯m the translator for Mr. Gert, the chairman of Naifei Corporation. Mr. Gert said that he would like to thank you for your trust in Naifei Corporation and for buying a large number of shares in the company and becoming the second-largest shareholder of the company!¡± The magnetic voice became even more respectful when saying this. The second-largest shareholder of the company, he was definitely a big shot! ¡°Mr. Gert says that if you¡¯re free, he¡¯ll give you a detailed report on the future work and financial information of the company¡­¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to report. I believe in his ability. Just continue to develop according to the original path. I¡¯ll only take the dividends.¡± ¡°Mr. Gert thanks you for your trust in him. He won¡¯t let you down and will definitely build the Naifei Corporation into the world¡¯s top audio and video company¡­¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Oh, right. Tell Gert that I¡¯m going to hold a Tentacle World-themed event. Ask him what kind of authorization documents I need.¡± ¡°Mr. Gert said that he would like to thank you for your interest in Tentacle World and that Naifei Corporation will directly release the authorization to you and will strongly support your activities¡­¡± Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Alright.¡± ¡­ In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. On this day, similar news appeared on Weibo, Douyin, UA Browser, Penguin News, and other major communication platforms. [1 Billion Yuan, Please Come Play Tentacle World!] [Shocking: Top Rich Young Master Spends 1 Billion Yuan to Recreate the Set of Tentacle World!] [Let¡¯s Play Tentacle World Together; 1 Billion Yuan Prize Money!] [Play Games And Bring Home 1 Billion Yuan!] [Let¡¯s Play Tentacle World!] [You Can¡¯t Spend It All in One Lifetime! Tentacle World!] ¡­ Countless people were curious and excited. They checked the news and joined the comments. Iceland: [Participating in Tentacle World? One billion yuan? Really?] Cockroach: [Is there any analysis done on this? It¡¯s one billion!] Fanxing: [I think it¡¯s true. This event is jointly sponsored by Little Tanuki Group, Penguin Group, and Alphabet Group. In addition, Naifei Corporation is also helping to promote this. Let me explain, Naifei Corporation is the producer of Tentacle World in our country!] Brother Hua: [It¡¯s a billion-yuan reward for this game. Is this like the TV show where you have to be the last one standing while others are killed off?] Flower in the Wind: [How is that possible? If that¡¯s the case, even if Little Tanuki, Penguin, and Alphabet were given the greatest courage, they wouldn¡¯t dare to publicize it.] Love Me, Love You: [It¡¯s impossible for them to kill! Forget it, I¡¯ll sign up first. What if I really get the reward? That¡¯s one billion!] Farming: [That¡¯s right! I¡¯ll sign up for it!] Booming Fire: [Register!] ¡­ As the news continued to spread, the popularity continued to rise. Some people started mentioning it during celebrity interviews. ¡°Hero, have you ever heard of Tentacle World?¡± The sweet-looking host, who was wearing a suit, asked with a smile. ¡°Of course!¡± The man sitting opposite him said. ¡°This is a very thrilling and exciting TV show. To be honest, I even deliberately skipped two days of work to watch it.¡± As he said this, the man¡¯s face revealed a hint of reminiscence. ¡°Really? I didn¡¯t expect that you would have such a mysterious side to you,¡± the host said in surprise. ¡°In fact, I¡¯m not usually fascinated by other TV shows. Tentacle World is just too good! I couldn¡¯t help but finish watching it in one go! ¡°You know what? When I was watching it, I even forgot to eat and drink.¡± When the man said this, he could not help but become excited, as if he had entered the plot of Tentacle World. ¡°I understand this feeling very well!¡± After a pause, the host continued, ¡°Speaking of the TV show Tentacle World, I recently saw the game event for Tentacle World online. According to the publicity, a total of one billion yuan will be used as prize money for this event!¡± The man said, ¡°Yes, I also saw this event. Moreover, I¡¯ve already signed up to participate in the game¡­ Perhaps the one billion yuan prize is a bit exaggerated, but I think this is definitely a very interesting game.¡± The host said, ¡°Heavens! Even you are participating? It seems that the people who sign up for the event this time not only have the chance to get the prize, but they can also play games with their idol, Hero!¡± The man said, ¡°I also hope to play with everyone. However, the number of people who have signed up has already exceeded a million. However, only 500 people will be selected to participate. Therefore, I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ll be selected in the end.¡± When he said this, there was a hint of helplessness and anticipation in his tone. ¡­ This interview received a lot of attention. As a result, some celebrities joined in similar interviews. There were also some celebrities who posted articles and pictures that they liked about Tentacle World on Weibo. In an instant, Tentacle World became popular all over the Internet. Chapter 538 - 538 Discussion; Game Begins! 538 Discussion; Game Begins! Lin Fan did not care about what was happening on the internet. He directly handed over the specific activities of Tentacle World to the manager of Imperial Hotel, Wang Fengyi, and the CEO of Qingkun Group, Li Wannian. With regards to Wang Fengyi¡¯s abilities, Lin Fan was still rather assured. He was the one in charge of Ling Rou¡¯s concert last time, and it was a great success. Li Wannian owned Qingkun Hotel, Qingkun Real Estate, Qingkun Supermarket, and others. He had a lot of people and land in Qing City. Lin Fan believed that if the two of them worked together, there would not be any problems. He did not have to worry about it. Every day, he ate, drank tea, and strolled around the familiar streets. He was extremely relaxed. Today, as usual, Lin Fan got up very comfortably. He was satisfied¡­ Many people were extremely excited. Among them was Lin Xiaoyao. She had been lying by Lin Fan¡¯s window early in the morning. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re up? If we go over so late¡­ will the Tentacle World event already start?¡± Lin Fan looked at her anxious expression and could not help but laugh. ¡°The event starts at 10 o¡¯clock. It¡¯s still early. Besides, I¡¯m the boss. If the boss doesn¡¯t go, who would dare to start the event?¡± Lin Xiaoyao nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s true. Did you really get the one billion yuan in prize money?¡± At this point, she could not help but feel a little heartache. She had been to the Coiling Dragon Villa the last time she went to Jiangbei and knew that Lin Fan had a lot of money. However, this was a game event with prize money amounting to one billion. She could not bear to see the money spent. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already earned it back after spending it.¡± Lin Fan was definitely not spouting nonsense. This was because through the promotion of the past few days, the popularity of Tentacle World had reached unprecedented heights. As a result, the share price of the company that produced Tentacle World, Naifei Corporation, rose by 1%! One had to know that the market value of Naifei Corporation was close to 200 billion yuan! 1% was 20 billion yuan! Lin Fan owned 10% of the shares of the company, which meant that the value had increased by two billion! In addition, Penguin Group took advantage of the popularity of Tentacle World to announce that they were going to develop a game, which increased their share price by 1%. Penguin Group¡¯s market value was close to five trillion yuan! 1% was 50 billion! Lin Fan owned 80% of Penguin Group¡¯s shares! In other words, his assets had increased by 40 billion! Of course, even if there was not any increase in value, Lin Fan would not care about it. After all, it was only one billion yuan. Lin Fan saw that Lin Xiaoyao was still worried about the one billion yuan and said, ¡°The final winner will receive at least 500 million yuan. Work hard and earn it back.¡± Lin Xiaoyao nodded vigorously and said, ¡°Yes! Brother, I¡¯ll work hard. If both of us earn 500 million, we¡¯ll earn it all back!¡± A look of struggle appeared on her face. Work hard together? Obviously, Lin Fan was going to participate in the Tentacle World event. Originally, he did not plan to participate. However, he could not convince Lin Xiaoyao. Besides, he was fine. He thought of it as playing games with his sister, so he agreed in the end. ¡­ After the two of them had breakfast, they got into the Cullinan and headed to Qing City Stadium. The road today was extremely congested. Looking up into the distance, it was densely packed with vehicles. Some people had been stuck on the road for a long time, so they began to use clever methods to seize the opportunity. However, sometimes, this kind of cleverness made the traffic even worse. Some people were bored and began to discuss and complain. ¡°Why is it so crowded today?¡± ¡°You still don¡¯t know? Today, Qing City Stadium is going to hold an event with prize money amounting to one billion, so many tourists rushed over.¡± ¡°An event with prize money amounting to one billion? Really? What kind of event is it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s Tentacle World, the TV show! On TV, one can get money by clearing the checkpoints, and in the end, one can get a lot of money! I don¡¯t know what this event is like. As for whether it¡¯s real or fake, many people on the internet said it¡¯s real.¡± ¡°No wonder it attracted so many people.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that so?¡± ¡­ Although these conversations were not loud and they were even separated by the car window, none of them could escape Lin Fan¡¯s ears. After all, he had already drunk the Hearing Enhancement Potion. Lin Xiaoyao, who was sitting in the Cullinan, could not help but worry. ¡°Brother, will we be late?¡± Before Lin Fan could reply, the car behind him honked several times. The driver of the car next to Lin Fan¡¯s stuck his head out and shouted, ¡°What are you honking for? Can¡¯t you see that we¡¯re all stuck here? Do you think you can fly over?¡± Fly over? Lin Fan¡¯s expression changed slightly, and he said to Lin Xiaoyao, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll definitely be able to get to the stadium before 10 o¡¯clock.¡± Then, he picked up his phone and made a call. After a while, there was a roar above their heads. Many people raised their heads curiously. Soon, someone exclaimed, ¡°It¡¯s a private jet!¡± ¡°Heavens!¡± ¡°What a cool plane!¡± ¡°There¡¯s actually a private jet in Qing City¡­¡± As the crowd shouted, the luxurious private jet lowered its altitude and lowered a rope ladder. A young man climbed down the rope ladder and came to the Cullinan¡¯s side. He said respectfully, ¡°Mr. Lin, good day.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll leave the car to you.¡± ¡°Mr. Lin, don¡¯t worry,¡± the young man said. Lin Xiaoyao, who was standing at the side, said somewhat stiffly, ¡°Brother, this plane¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t we have to arrive before 10 o¡¯clock? Let¡¯s go,¡± Lin Fan said. After saying that, under the gazes of countless people in the traffic jam, he led Lin Xiaoyao up the rope ladder and kept climbing. Lin Xiaoyao only seemed to come back to her senses after entering the private jet. She looked down through the window of the private jet, and her heart was beating wildly. Her entire face was flushed with excitement as she shouted excitedly, ¡°Brother, I love you!¡± After saying that, she threw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s embrace. Lin Fan corrected her, ¡°We¡¯re siblings!¡± ¡­ As the luxurious private jet rumbled, an incomparably huge red hot air balloon appeared in their field of vision. It looked very festive. This place¡­ was Qing City Stadium! At this moment, there were already many people around the stadium. Looking down from above, the place was densely packed. It was a different scene. Some people with cameras on their shoulders kept squeezing in, trying their best to capture the scene. Some people who were qualified to participate in the event lined up with the QR code and kept moving forward. Lin Xiaoyao leaned against the window and said excitedly, ¡°So many people!¡± After a loud roar, the luxurious private jet finally landed in the stadium. Soon, a staff member walked over. Lin Fan said, ¡°Let¡¯s go and play the games.¡± Lin Xiaoyao nodded vigorously. Chapter 539 - 539 Shocked; Lin Xiaoyao Regrets! 539 Shocked; Lin Xiaoyao Regrets! Amidst the discussion and noise, the 500 selected game participants put on their green sportswear and came to the spacious stadium. They looked at the flashy lights around the stadium and could not help but let out a burst of discussion. ¡°The clothes are exactly the same as in the TV show!¡± ¡°But why don¡¯t I see that big wooden figure?¡± ¡°What is that hot air balloon above us? It¡¯s so big!¡± ¡°I wonder if there¡¯ll be police officers with guns.¡± ¡°Do you guys think that one billion is real?¡± ¡°It¡¯s probably just a gimmick.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s already very good.¡± ¡­ Everyone was discussing non-stop, their faces full of smiles. Obviously, they were all fans of Tentacle World. At this moment, a loud and clear voice sounded from the stadium¡¯s broadcast. ¡°Welcome to Tentacle World!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the red cloth on the huge hot air balloon was slowly removed. In the next moment, a transparent glass cover appeared in everyone¡¯s vision. Inside the glass cover was a mountain of hundred-dollar bills. ¡°Wow!¡± Everyone who participated in the game, the reporters, and the audience outside the stadium exclaimed in unison. ¡°Heavens!¡± ¡°So much money!¡± ¡°How much money is inside?¡± ¡°Could it be that the final winner will really get at least 500 million yuan like the news said?¡± ¡°Is that how much is inside?¡± Everyone was so excited that they could not control themselves. Originally, most people thought that the news promotion of the one billion yuan prize was just a gimmick. Now that they saw so much cash, they understood that perhaps¡­ it was all true! Therefore, those who were not selected came to the staff outside the stadium and shouted. ¡°Hi, can I still register now?¡± ¡°Can I still participate in the Tentacle World event?¡± ¡°May I register?¡± ¡­ Even if there was still a chance, they wanted to try. After all, this was an event with a total prize of one billion. If they won, they would get at least 500 million! 500 million! It could completely change a person¡¯s life! However, they did not have the slightest chance. The staff members looked at the money in the hot air balloon and felt their throats go dry. They gulped and said, ¡°Sorry, it¡¯s already past the event registration time.¡± ¡­ The originally excited participants became even more excited when they saw the money in the hot air balloon. They kept shouting and clenching their fists. They were even more serious about this game. Lin Xiaoyao, who was in the crowd, looked at the mountain of money above her head and said in a daze, ¡°Brother.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Can we cancel the event? It¡¯s so much money!¡± Lin Xiaoyao said. As she spoke, tears seemed to flash in her eyes. Although she already knew about the one billion yuan prize money beforehand, it was just a number then. Now that she could see it with her own eyes, it was an incomparably shocking pile of money! If there was no event, the money would be Lin Fan¡¯s. Lin Fan was her brother. Was a brother¡¯s money not for his sister to spend? This money could have all been hers! Therefore, Lin Xiaoyao regretted it. Lin Fan looked at Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s pitiful face and could not help but smile as he patted her head. ¡°Play hard and earn back the money.¡± Lin Xiaoyao nodded vigorously as if she had been reinvigorated. ¡°Yes!¡± ¡­ At this moment, a loud voice sounded from the broadcast again. ¡°Everyone should have seen it already. There¡¯s 500 million yuan above your heads! It¡¯s also the guaranteed prize money for the winner of this Tentacle World event!¡± As soon as he said that, the scene became even noisier. They had already guessed this outcome. However, after it was confirmed, it was still difficult to calm down. They were extremely excited. Regarding this¡­ The host did not pay much attention to it. ¡°Now, I will introduce the rules of the first game.¡± In an instant, the entire scene fell silent. The game participants in the stadium all pricked up their ears, afraid that they would miss out a word. After all, this was an important event that determined whether or not they could get 500 million yuan in prize money! In fact, it was not just the participants who quieted down. The reporters and spectators standing around the stadium also stopped talking. This was definitely a hot topic for the reporters. The audience, on the other hand, was looking forward to a similar event in the future. In that case, they might have a chance to get a 500 million bonus. ¡­ ¡°The name of the first round is called 1,2,3, Wooden Figure. When the wooden figure turns around, the participants can¡¯t move their bodies. Otherwise, they¡¯ll be eliminated! ¡°Anyone who successfully arrives at the destination from the starting position within the specified time will be considered to have cleared the stage! Those who clear the stage will receive a reward of 200,000 yuan. The losers will receive a reward of 100,000 yuan!¡± The entire place was in an uproar again. If they failed, they would still receive a reward of 100,000 yuan! In other words, anyone who participated in the game could get at least 100,000 yuan! For some people, 100,000 yuan was nothing. Perhaps it was just the price of a bottle of wine. However, for many of these players, it was equivalent to a year¡¯s salary! If they cleared the first round, they could get 200,000 yuan! This was money that the average person would have to work hard for two years to earn! Previously, when many people saw the 500 million in cash above their heads, although they were excited, they still felt that it was just a gimmick and that they would not get the money at all. At this moment, they completely threw this thought to the back of their minds now. This was a game where one could get a lot of bonuses! Thus, they were serious and excited about playing the games. Outside the stadium, those who did not manage to participate were filled with envy. At this moment, the curtain at the front of the stadium fell, and a tall and cute-looking figure appeared in front of them. At the same time, two horizontal lines appeared on the stadium. One was in front of the figure, and the other was in front of the participants. ¡°Game duration, three minutes!¡± As soon as the host finished speaking, a large group of people in red clothes, masks, and weapons walked out from behind the stage. They stared ahead, giving off an invisible sense of oppression. Someone said in a low voice, ¡°These people¡­ Don¡¯t tell me they¡¯re holding real guns?¡± ¡°No, no, no. I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be possible, right?¡± ¡­ When they signed up, they definitely did not believe that firearms would be used. However, they were a little hesitant now. That was because there was too much money on the line! ¡°Countdown, begin!¡± The host¡¯s voice was getting louder and louder. 10! 9! 8! ¡­ Everyone stared unblinkingly at the screen on the stage. The numbers kept jumping, and their heartbeats began to accelerate along with these jumping numbers! Chapter 540 - 540 The First Round, Cleared! 540 The First Round, Cleared! 3! 2! 1! As the clock struck zero, the broadcast started to play a very cheerful tune. ¡°One, two, three¡­ Wooden figure¡­¡± All the competitors ran forward without any hesitation. As long as they ran to the finish line, they would receive 200,000! It had to be said that 500 people in uniform running together made a pretty good scene. At this moment, the music suddenly sped up. ¡°One, two, three¡­ Wooden figure!¡± In the next moment, the figure that was originally facing away from everyone suddenly turned its head. When some people watched the TV show, Tentacle World, they felt that the first stage was very simple. As long as they did not move their body before the figure turned around, they would be able to clear the stage easily. Actually, that was not the case¡­ When the figure turned around, most people could indeed stabilize their bodies. However, there were still a small number of people who were too excited or found it hard because of their physique or stumbled because of inertia¡­ Their bodies shook uncontrollably and they even fell to the ground. If they were to sway and fall to the ground, the people around them would suffer. One person influenced two others, two people influenced four others. Under the wooden figure¡¯s gaze, the dozens of people began to sway. In the distance, men wearing red clothes and masks raised their guns at these people. Immediately, red paint appeared on the bodies of these participants. Eliminated! They looked at the red paint on their bodies and could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were not real guns. However, they sighed again. They could not get the 500 million bonus. The game continued! The wooden figure turned around and continued to face the crowd. ¡°One, two, three¡­ Wooden figure!¡± ¡°One, two, three¡­ Wooden figure!¡± The wooden figure turned around again. With too many people, it was easy to cause chaos. This time, dozens of people shook their bodies. Lin Xiaoyao almost fell to the ground. Lin Fan¡¯s reaction was extremely fast, and he had immense strength. He grabbed Lin Xiaoyao and saved her. She had dodged it, but those dozens of people were not so lucky. The masked men in red shot at them without hesitation, causing a smear of red paint to appear on their green clothes. Eliminated! The game continued. Although the rules of the game were very simple and the music was light and pleasant, due to the running, guns, prize money, and other conditions, it brought a great sense of excitement. Finally, the first batch of people arrived at their destination. As if they had just survived a calamity, they all shouted excitedly. Soon, the second batch of people arrived at their destination. ¡­ Those who passed were naturally happy. Those who did not pass were a little anxious. Since many people were focused on stability, they took very small steps. They were still far from the finish line. However, more than half of the time had passed. This made them anxious. The more anxious they were, the more mistakes they would make! ¡°One, two, three¡­ Wooden figure!¡± This time, when the figure turned around, dozens of people moved again. The game continued. Time continued to move. When there were only 30 seconds left in the game, the remaining participants all panicked. ¡°Brother, what should we do now?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked anxiously. After all, she still wanted to win with Lin Fan. Were they going to be eliminated in the first round? They would be noobs! This one billion was Lin Fan¡¯s own money! Lin Fan said, ¡°We¡¯ll clear it!¡± At this moment, the figure turned around again. ¡°One, two, three¡­ Wooden figure!¡± Lin Fan picked up Lin Xiaoyao and rushed forward. Before the figure could turn around, he had reached the finish line. The other participants seemed to have been influenced by Lin Fan¡¯s actions¡­ They all rushed forward. This round had turned into a 100-meter sprint. Some people were fast and could succeed. Some were destined to fail. At this moment, the figure suddenly turned around. Those who were still running felt their hearts turn cold. Immediately after, the masked men in red started shooting wildly. The first game officially ended! Those who had passed the first round all shouted excitedly. Their faces were full of smiles, as if they had survived a great disaster. ¡°I passed!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Lin Xiaoyao threw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s arms and shouted excitedly, ¡°Brother, we passed the first stage! Thank goodness I have you!¡± ¡­ The first round was spectated by the audience outside the stadium. They all started discussing. ¡°This game is really interesting!¡± ¡°This is what I call 100% replica.¡± ¡°At the end, a guy seemed to have hugged a woman and directly rushed over. He was so fast, right?¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± ¡­ While everyone was discussing, those who had lost the first round walked out dejectedly. When they arrived at the entrance, many spectators rushed over. ¡°How is it? Is the game fun?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that even if you fail, you¡¯ll still be given 100,000 yuan?¡± ¡°Did they pay?¡± One of the losers seemed to have just thought of this. He was about to ask the staff. At this moment, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated slightly. [Notice from Construction Bank: 100,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] ¡°It¡¯s here¡­ 100,000 yuan has been transferred to my account¡­¡± he muttered. In fact, it was not just his phone that vibrated. The phones of all the losers and those who had just finished the game vibrated at the same time. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 200,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] [Notice from Tiantian Bank: 100,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] In the next moment¡­ Everyone shouted excitedly. ¡°It¡¯s in my account!¡± ¡°The bonus has arrived!¡± They were really paid! The audience outside cast envious gazes at the participants. Those who had failed cast envious gazes at the people who had cleared the stage. However, when they saw the text message notification on their phones, a hint of unconcealable joy appeared on their faces. It was not bad to earn 100,000 yuan by playing a game for a few minutes! ¡­ In the stadium, the people who passed the first stage hugged their phones and looked at the text notifications. Their faces almost bloomed with laughter. At this moment, a loud voice sounded from the broadcast again. ¡°The number of people who passed the first game is 349. Congratulations! ¡°Next, let me introduce the second game!¡± Instantly, the entire scene fell silent again. Everyone stopped looking at their phones and perked up their ears. They had cleared the first round and received 200,000 yuan. What if they passed the second round? How much money could they get? What if they became the final winner? That was a guaranteed 500 million bonus! Just thinking about it made everyone¡¯s heart beat faster again, and they listened more carefully to the broadcast. Chapter 541 - 541 Game Continues; Tug-of-War! 541 Game Continues; Tug-of-War! Under everyone¡¯s anticipation, the loud and clear voice finally sounded from the broadcast again. ¡°The second game is folding stars!¡± Many people were stunned when they heard this. Folding stars? According to the TV show, should it not be a game that involved sugar cookies? Why did it become folding stars? How would they know that Lin Fan had specially instructed them to change it? According to the TV show, one had to lick the sugar cookie with their tongue. Lin Fan did not want to do that. The voice on the broadcast did not care about the doubts of the crowd and continued, ¡°Within five minutes, fold as many stars as you can and you can clear the level. For every star that is folded, you¡¯ll receive a reward of 200,000 yuan. The losers will receive a reward of 100,000 yuan.¡± As soon as he said this, the entire venue was instantly ignited with enthusiasm. Everyone completely forgot that the second round did not involve sugar cookies. 200,000 yuan for every star folded! It was simply a good opportunity to get rich! Lin Xiaoyao, in particular, shouted excitedly, ¡°Brother, that¡¯s great. It¡¯s folding stars!¡± That was because she liked to fold stars when she was free at home. She was very skilled at it. Lin Fan smiled and nodded. ¡­ The eyes of the audience outside the stadium turned red. This was pure jealousy. ¡°Oh my god! It¡¯s actually folding stars! I can fold one in two minutes¡­ With five minutes¡­ doesn¡¯t that mean I can earn at least 400,000 yuan?!¡± ¡°When I was studying, I was bored every day and would fold stars!¡± ¡°Why wasn¡¯t I chosen to participate in the game?¡± ¡°I regret not signing up!¡± ¡­ Amidst the crowd¡¯s excitement and discussion, the masked men in red handed the colorful origami paper to the participants. The voice on the broadcast said again, ¡°The countdown for the second game, folding stars, begins now!¡± 10! 9! 8! ¡­ The numbers on the stage screen kept jumping. 2! 1! With a soft sound, the players began to fold stars. Someone once said that time was money. At this moment, they had a deep understanding of it. Those who did not know how to fold stars were standing by the side, secretly learning. Those who knew how to do it would naturally be able to fold it successfully. It looked simple, but when one really tried to do it, it was not that easy. Of course, Lin Fan was not one of them. Lin Fan did not fold the stars. He just watched Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s fingers move quickly. In just a minute, a star was folded. ¡°200,000!¡± she muttered. Then, she hurriedly folded the second star. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan could not help but shake his head. He had never folded stars before, but he had memorized Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s steps by scanning them with his skills. His speed and skill even surpassed Lin Xiaoyao. Lin Fan¡¯s first star only took about 40 seconds. For his second star, the time was shortened to about 30 seconds! Some people could learn it right away, while others could not. It seemed like the steps were the same, but in the end, they realized that the stars were actually knotted. Thus, they had to fold it again. One mistake, two mistakes¡­ Five minutes passed. ¡°Time¡¯s up, stop!¡± A loud voice sounded from the broadcast. Some people did not stop and continued to fold the stars. The masked men in red raised their guns. Immediately, the green clothes of the participants who did not fold even one star and those who did not stop folding even after the round ended had a touch of red paint on them. Eliminated! Nearly a hundred people were eliminated! The losers¡¯ faces were filled with sorrow. The people who passed were filled with joy. Then¡­ The phones in everyone¡¯s pockets vibrated. [Notice from Construction Bank: 200,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] [Notice from Merchant Bank: 400,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] [Notice from Merchant Bank: 100,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] ¡­ When everyone saw the text message, their faces were immediately filled with smiles. After the losers left, the broadcast sounded again. ¡°The number of people who passed the second game is 268. ¡°Next, let me introduce the third game!¡± Instantly, everyone became spirited again. The two consecutive games earned the participants at least 400,000 yuan. This made them realize the reality of the game. No one would complain about having too much money. There was still 500 million in cash hanging above their heads! ¡°The third game is a tug-of-war! ¡°The two people closest to each other will form a tug-of-war team, and then the competition will be randomly assigned. The winners will clear the stage, and each person will receive a prize of 500,000 yuan! The losers will each receive 200,000 yuan.¡± Hearing this, everyone¡¯s hearts began to beat wildly. In other words, they could at least get another 200,000 yuan! Once they won, they would get 500,000 yuan! Everyone hurriedly looked at the person standing beside them. The strong men and weak women¡­ revealed happy and depressed expressions respectively. The masked men in red did not pay much attention to them. They took out blue and red number plates and handed them to everyone. ¡°Brother, can we get through this?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked nervously. After all, she was only a third-year high school student and did not have much strength. She knew that Lin Fan had solved many difficult math problems, invented many amazing things, and even won the Nobel Prize¡­ He was an amazing professor! However, the more it was like this, the more it meant that Lin Fan did not have much time to train. He probably was not strong. How could Lin Fan not understand the meaning behind her words? He smiled and patted her head. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I can pass.¡± One had to know¡­ He had drunk the Constitution Enhancement Potion several times, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that his current strength was superhuman. Playing tug-of-war was a piece of cake for him. Even if the opponent was 20 men, he could still easily win. When Lin Xiaoyao heard this, her initial nervousness immediately disappeared and was replaced with confidence. As long as Lin Fan said so, then it would definitely be the case! The host¡¯s voice rang out again. ¡°The participants of the tug-of-war will compete according to the blue and red numbers.¡± Lin Xiaoyao and Lin Fan had the blue number 33. After a while, a round-faced man and a tall, thin man walked over with a red number 33. The number plate was the same, but the color was different! They were Lin Fan and Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s tug-of-war opponents. The round-faced man and the lanky man also noticed this. They chuckled. ¡°We seem to be quite lucky.¡± ¡°Yes, we are.¡± As they said this, their eyes flickered. It was as if they could already see the victory of the tug-of-war round in their hands. They would successfully obtain 500,000 yuan! Chapter 542 - 542 Last Round; Eliminated! 542 Last Round; Eliminated! It was no wonder the round-faced man and the tall, thin man would have such thoughts. Lin Fan looked more normal, but Lin Xiaoyao appeared very weak. Their advantage was too great! ¡­ The audience outside the stadium started discussing again after hearing the rules and prize money of the tug-of-war game. ¡°As long as you win the tug-of-war, you can get 500,000 yuan! Why wasn¡¯t I chosen?¡± ¡°500,000!¡± ¡°If I was chosen, I¡¯d definitely get 500,000 yuan immediately¡­¡± ¡­ Amidst everyone¡¯s discussion¡­ The host¡¯s voice once again sounded loud and clear. ¡°All participants of the tug-of-war round from Team 1 to Team 10, please step forward!¡± The players holding the respective numbers walked to the area that had already been marked. They picked up the rope in pairs, their eyes filled with determination. They had to win! ¡°The tug-of-war competition begins!¡± The women who had always been soft, the old men who could fall at any time¡­ At this moment, it was as if all of them had endless strength. They pulled the ropes in their hands and kept pulling. After relentless efforts, some people finally won. They shouted excitedly. Some people won, and some people lost. Those who failed were immediately covered in red paint and eliminated! Soon, it was Lin Fan and Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s turn. Lin Xiaoyao stood on the competition field and gripped the rope tightly. Her palms were sweating. Lin Fan looked at her nervous expression and could not help but laugh. ¡°Relax, we¡¯ll win soon.¡± At this moment, the voice from the broadcast sounded again. ¡°The tug-of-war competition begins!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan and Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s opponents did not care if they were prepared or not. They pulled the rope with all their might without hesitation. However, they were surprised to find that the other side was not moving at all. One had to know¡­ At this moment, Lin Fan, who was standing in front, was only using one hand to pull the rope. What was going on? When Lin Fan was pulling the rope with one hand, he even turned around to look at Lin Xiaoyao, who was clenching her teeth and exerting her strength. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan pulled with his right hand. In the next moment¡­ The round-faced man and the tall, thin man seemed to be dragged by a train. They were unable to resist at all and flew forward. The match had ended! The masked men in red standing at the side raised their guns at them. Lin Xiaoyao was a little confused at first, but she quickly reacted. She jumped into Lin Fan¡¯s arms and shouted excitedly, ¡°Brother, we won!¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Yes.¡±¡± The tug-of-war took a relatively long time. When it ended, the entire venue was obviously much more spacious. ¡°The number of people who cleared the third round is 134. ¡°The fourth round is also the last game of this event, Tentacles!¡± When everyone heard this, their bodies all turned solemn. It was the last round, which meant that they were only one step away from the 500 million prize money. At this moment, everyone¡¯s hearts were beating wildly like drums. ¡°Randomly form a group of 13 or 14 people¡­ There¡¯ll be a total of ten groups, and there¡¯ll be a stool in the middle of each group. ¡°After the tune ends, everyone must sit on the stool within one second of the first person sitting down. Otherwise, it¡¯ll be considered a failure. Take note, the first to sit will also fail. ¡°The losers will receive a prize of 300,000 yuan. ¡°For every successful attempt, the winner will receive a prize of 500,000 yuan. ¡°The game will go on until the final victor is decided!¡± This time, there were more instructions than in the previous rounds. Everyone¡¯s hearts beat faster and faster with every word the host said! The masked men in red were very efficient. In a short while, 10 ordinary stools appeared on the field. At the same time, they took out the translucent box meant for drawing lots. According to the lots, Lin Fan was placed in Group 2 and Lin Xiaoyao was placed in Group 5. Without Lin Fan¡¯s company, Lin Xiaoyao felt uneasy. Lin Fan was extremely calm. ¡°Let the countdown for the fourth game begin!¡± 10! 9! ¡­ As the countdown sounded, the participants all discarded their thoughts and focused their gazes on the stool in the middle. They only had one thought in mind, and that was to sit on the stool as soon as possible! 3! 2! 1! Instantly, the lively music from the beginning appeared again. ¡°One, two, three, wooden figure.¡± In an instant, everyone seemed to have transformed into hungry wolves in the cold wind and pounced on the stool. Each group¡¯s stool was quickly filled with people. Lin Fan was one of the players sitting on the stool in Group 2. His body was very stable. Lin Xiaoyao also sat on the stool for Group 5, but her body was a little shaky. As for those who were late or could not sit on the stools, they were greeted with a wave of paint guns. They were eliminated! This time, almost half of the people were eliminated. Hence, the groups merged into five groups. Lin Fan looked at Lin Xiaoyao, who was extremely focused and serious, and wanted to laugh. ¡°One, two, three¡­ Wooden figure!¡± This time, the tune was obviously a little longer. Some were so anxious that they took the lead to sit on the stool, while others were a little behind, causing them to not be able to sit on the stool at all. Lin Fan was one of the people who could not sit on the stool. However, Lin Fan was not slow. After all, there was no one in this world who could surpass him in terms of speed and reaction. If Lin Fan wanted to, he could easily obtain the final victory. However, there was no need. The prize money was only a few hundred million yuan. The reason why Lin Fan joined the game was to play with Lin Xiaoyao. Now, he had played with her for so long. It was enough. The masked men in red picked up their guns and shot out a wave of paint. He was eliminated! Lin Xiaoyao, who was sitting on the stool, quickly noticed the situation on Lin Fan¡¯s side. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll continue to play the game and win the final victory! You can go without worry.¡± Lin Fan looked at her impassioned expression as if she was about to do something big. He could not help but let out a strange smile and said, ¡°Alright, work hard. ¡°But what do you mean by I can go without worry?¡± Lin Xiaoyao did not pay attention to the rest of his words. Her eyes fell on the stool again, and she said seriously, ¡°Alright!¡± At this moment, there was only the game and the stool in her heart. Chapter 543 - 543 School Begins; Registration! (1) 543 School Begins; Registration! (1) ¡°One, two, three¡­ Wooden figure!¡± Everyone rushed toward the stool. Relying on her petite figure, Lin Xiaoyao sat down almost immediately. Some of the larger people were not so lucky. This time, almost half of the people were eliminated. It had to be said that Lin Xiaoyao was very serious about the game. Every time, she would use all her strength and speed to sprint forward. After a few rounds, she had not been eliminated. At this moment, only Lin Xiaoyao and a man who was about 1.75 meters tall were left in the huge scene. They allowed the sweat to flow down their foreheads, but their eyes were fixed on the stool without blinking. The air¡­ seemed to have become heavy. The final victory would be between the two of them! The audience standing outside the stadium also became nervous and began to discuss. ¡°Who do you think will win?¡± ¡°Of course, it¡¯s that man! A man¡¯s speed, reaction time, and endurance are better than a woman¡¯s. Moreover, that lady looks so young. She might even still be in high school, so she can¡¯t compare to a man.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not necessarily true. I saw that girl¡¯s speed just now.¡± ¡°If they win, they can get at least 500 million yuan!¡± ¡°500 million? I think they can get at least 600 million!¡± As everyone said this, they could not help but look at the stadium with even more focus. ¡­ Lin Xiaoyao and the man in the stadium felt their hearts beating wildly. ¡°One, two, three¡­ Wooden figure!¡± Almost at the same time, Lin Xiaoyao and the man sat on the stool together. They were evenly matched! The two of them slowly stood up and looked at the stool again. The round began again! ¡°One, two, three¡­ Wooden figure!¡± This time¡­ Perhaps because the man was too excited, he accidentally tripped. Lin Xiaoyao seized the opportunity and sat on the stool. The victor was decided! ¡°Yay!¡± Lin Xiaoyao shouted happily. In fact, not only was Lin Xiaoyao extremely excited, but the audience outside was also very excited. ¡°She won!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that the young lady stands a chance at winning?¡± ¡°That¡¯s amazing!¡± ¡­ At this moment, a loud voice sounded from the broadcast. ¡°Congratulations to this lady for obtaining the final victory. The prize money is 798,500,000 yuan!¡± As soon as he said this, the entire stadium was in an uproar. Lin Xiaoyao jumped up excitedly. The man lying on the ground was filled with regret. Almost, he almost¡­ won 800 million yuan! After receiving so much prize money, Lin Xiaoyao might have to face reporters. It would be very troublesome if she was surrounded¡­ However, at this moment, a luxurious private jet flew over from afar. It picked up Lin Xiaoyao and Lin Fan and sped off into the distance under everyone¡¯s gaze. On the plane, Lin Xiaoyao was still extremely excited. ¡°Brother, I won! I earned 800 million yuan!¡± When she said this, she could not help but dance. Lin Fan looked at her happy face and smiled. ¡°Yes, you did.¡± Then, Lin Xiaoyao threw herself into Lin Fan¡¯s arms and said, ¡°Brother, thank you!¡± In her opinion, the reason why Lin Fan spent one billion yuan to organize this game event was to make her happy. It was great to have such a brother! Lin Fan said, ¡°What¡¯s there to thank between siblings?¡± At this moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Mission completed¡ªhost a large-scale Tentacle World event with more than 500 people and receive more than 80% positive comments from the participants. You¡¯ve received five golden packets.] Mission accomplished! When Lin Fan heard this, the smile on his face widened. ¡­ After the event ended, the crowd in the stadium slowly dispersed after a long time. On Weibo. Satisfied: [Qing City¡¯s Tentacle World event is really awesome! Just like what was publicized on the internet, the prize money is a billion! I thought it was just a gimmick.] Liked Chuzheng: [Placing 500 million in cash in a hot air balloon is simply too spectacular!] Douban: [1,2,3, Wooden Figure, stacking stars, tug-of-war, Tentacles? As long as you complete any game, you¡¯d receive at least 200,000 yuan! Heavens! Even if you don¡¯t win in the end, you still earned a few hundred thousand!] Great Cool: [I actually forgot to sign up! It feels like I¡¯ve missed out on hundreds of millions!] On Duty: [I don¡¯t want the hundreds of millions in prize money. But I like to play all those games. So, when is the next game?] Dusk and Night: [In the end, a girl actually got 790 million. I¡¯m really envious.] ¡­ As more and more people joined the discussion, the popularity of Tentacle World¡¯s event quickly rose to the top of the hot topic list. Then, the shares of Naifei Corporation rose by two points, and the shares of Penguin Group rose by one point. According to the proportion of shares that Lin Fan held, Lin Fan¡¯s assets had increased by 44 billion! In other words, Lin Fan¡¯s assets had increased by 86 billion after spending one billion on the event! Of course, regarding these¡­ Lin Fan did not care at all. Chapter 544 - 544 School Begins; Registration! (2) 544 School Begins; Registration! (2) After returning home, he placed his attention directly on the golden packets. ¡°I¡¯ll see what I can get from five golden packets.¡± ¡°Open!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 500,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 100,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 900,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a one yuan critical hit card.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the skill¡ªDivine Shooting.] Lin Fan ignored the first four golden packets and focused all his attention on Divine Shooting. A skill! It had been a long time. It had been a long time since he had obtained a skill! [Divine Shooting: You know the specific structure and usage of all firearms. Within the effective range of all firearms, you have a 100% accuracy. The more accurate the shot, the greater the charm!] At the same time, countless complicated firearms knowledge appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. There was a time when he liked to watch gunfight movies. The reason was that he felt that shooting firearms was very cool. Who would not like to shoot? He had also fantasized about becoming a sharpshooter. Unexpectedly, it became a reality today. The only pity was that he did not have a gun and could not shoot at all. ¡­ Time passed. In the blink of an eye, the summer vacation came to an end. Lin Fan had been staying at home for the past two months. This was the longest time Lin Fan had spent with his family ever since he started working. It was extremely heartwarming. Today, Dai Weixue made a table full of dishes. The whole family ate happily and contentedly. Then, under the gaze of Lin Tao and Dai Weixue, Lin Fan drove the Cullinan and Lin Xiaoyao toward Jiangbei University. Tomorrow was the day of the new students¡¯ registration. When she was at home, Lin Xiaoyao looked forward to going to Jiangbei as soon as possible every day to experience the good times of university. The high school teachers had painted a beautiful picture of university. However, when it was time to leave, she looked at the houses and streets outside the car window and felt very reluctant to leave. ¡°I¡¯ll be in Jiangbei,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Lin Xiaoyao nodded vigorously. Perhaps Lin Fan¡¯s words had worked. When the Cullinan drove onto the highway, Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s face was full of smiles again. She looked at the lush green trees outside the window and the sun hanging in the mountains. She said excitedly, ¡°Brother, look¡­ It¡¯s so beautiful!¡± ¡°Yes, it is,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Brother, is university really easy and fun?¡± Lin Xiaoyao asked. Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s really easy. Whether it¡¯s fun or not, I don¡¯t know.¡± Lin Fan was not lying. That was because he had slept in almost every class when he was in university. Moreover, he could skip classes and take leave whenever he wanted. If this was not relaxing, then what was? Lin Xiaoyao said, ¡°So what the teacher said was true.¡± About an hour later, the Cullinan arrived at Jiangbei. Lin Fan first brought Lin Xiaoyao to the supermarket and bought a lot of daily necessities. Then, they went to a two-star Michelin restaurant and had a sumptuous dinner. Lin Xiaoyao almost bit her tongue, exclaiming from time to time. Finally, the two of them arrived at the Coiling Dragon Villa. The last time she came to the Coiling Dragon Villa, Lin Xiaoyao had only taken a look at the exterior. Now that she was living here, she took a good look at the gorgeous decorations and luxurious furniture. It made her feel like she was in a palace, and she became the princess in the story. Tonight, Lin Xiaoyao slept very comfortably. ¡­ The next day, the birds outside the window had already landed on the branches and let out a crisp cry. ¡°I ate a worm today.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten yet¡­¡± Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes and looked at his phone. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 37,899,200 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, he turned his attention to the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten million yuan.] He got up. Lin Xiaoyao was already sitting on the sofa in the living room. When she saw Lin Fan, she smiled and said, ¡°Brother, good morning!¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Morning. How was your sleep yesterday?¡± ¡°It was very comfortable!¡± Lin Xiaoyao said seriously. ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s go out and have some breakfast. Then, we¡¯ll go to school,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Xiaoyao replied. ¡­ It was peak hour. Moreover, today was September 1st, the first day of school! The road was even more congested. Therefore, they could have reached in 20 minutes, but Lin Fan spent close to an hour. Generally speaking, the school gate would be the most prominent place during the new school year. They would hang banners there welcoming the new students. This year, however¡­ There were many other banners hanging in the prominent positions. [Congratulations to Professor Lin Fan for winning the Fields Medal!] [Congratulations to Professor Lin Fan for winning the Nobel Prize in chemistry!] [Congratulations to our school¡¯s Professor Lin for winning the Nobel Prize in medicine!] ¡­ Everyone looked up and saw banners congratulating Professor Lin Fan. There was only a small banner in a corner that was hard to notice that read ¡®Welcome New Students!¡¯ Regarding this¡­ Whether it was the seniors or the freshmen, none of them were unhappy. On the contrary, their faces were filled with excitement and admiration! It was an honor for their school to have a professor like Lin Fan! Lin Xiaoyao exclaimed excitedly, ¡°Brother, you¡¯re too awesome!¡± Lin Fan rubbed his nose and said, ¡°Go in and settle the admission procedures first.¡± Lin Xiaoyao picked up her phone and, like many others, took a few photos of the gate and banners before saying, ¡°Alright.¡± No matter what, Lin Fan had been at Jiangbei University for nearly a year. Besides, he was also a professor at Jiangbei University¡­ Therefore, he was very familiar with the registration location and process. After waiting in line for about ten minutes, it was almost their turn to register. At this moment, a tall and thin man walked over and said with a smile, ¡°Hello. I¡¯m the head of the student council. I have something urgent to deal with later. Can I please cut in line?¡± His tone was full of inquiry. However, he did not even wait for Lin Fan to reply and immediately stood in front of him. Lin Fan did not even lift his eyelids as he said, ¡°No.¡± The tall and thin man was stunned on the spot. He could not believe his ears. In his opinion, as the head of the student council, who would reject him if he asked with such a good attitude? The tall and thin man took a deep breath and said, ¡°I¡¯m the head of the student council. There¡¯s an important matter for the student council to deal with later¡­¡± Lin Fan acted as if he did not hear him and continued walking forward, ¡°Lil Yao, take out the notice.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Xiaoyao replied. Directly ignoring him? The tall and thin man frowned. He was very unhappy, and his face was gloomy. Normally, new students took an hour or two to complete the enrollment process. However, Lin Fan only used 20 minutes to complete all the procedures. Then, he sent Lin Xiaoyao to the entrance of the female dormitory. That was right. Lin Xiaoyao was going to stay in the dormitory. Generally speaking, all university students had to live on campus. With Lin Fan¡¯s special status in the school, he could make special arrangements for her. Even so, Lin Xiaoyao still decided to stay in the dormitory. Lin Fan did not object much. He felt that sometimes living in school was not a bad thing. After all, Lin Xiaoyao had grown up. She had to spend time alone with people from all over the world. After Lin Fan was done with Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s registration, he walked toward his office. After all, he was a professor now. He had not seen his students for two months. What if they encountered a problem? He needed to help solve the problems. At this moment, the student council president who was stopped from cutting the line earlier walked over from afar. He looked at Lin Fan¡¯s figure, and his eyes moved. Seeing that Lin Fan was about to leave, he quickly took out his phone and took a photo of Lin Fan¡¯s back. ¡°You won¡¯t let me cut the queue? Fine then!¡± He sneered. As he spoke, he slowly opened his Moments and Weibo¡­ Chapter 545 - 545 Ask And Answer 545 Ask And Answer Man in the Wind: [On the first day of school, when I walked past the basketball court on the field, I saw a guy pick up a black wallet. After secretly stuffing it into his pocket, he hurriedly left. He wasn¡¯t wearing glasses and was wearing a gray T-shirt. He¡¯s about 180 meters tall. If someone dropped their wallet, get it back from this person. Back.jpg] After Tang Yuan sent the message to his friends, he sent the same message to the class group, the grade group, and the school group, which caused a lot of discussion. Second Brother Song: [Picking up a wallet and stuffing it into your pocket? There¡¯s actually such a person in this world?] Chaos: [Man in the Wind seems to be the head of the student council, Tang Yuan. His words must be true. I¡¯ll keep an eye out for the guy.] King: [I¡¯ll keep an eye out too.] Poor Man: [So, it¡¯s Tang Yuan. Then his words are definitely true. He¡¯s the leader of our student union.] Bear: [As expected of Tang Yuan. He¡¯s brave and full of a sense of justice. He exposes injustice directly when he sees it. Awesome!] One, Two, Three, Wooden Figure: [This guy is really embarrassing Jiangbei University!] Xue: [Embarrassing? This isn¡¯t just embarrassing! It¡¯s already a crime. If there was more than 2,000 yuan in the wallet, he could even be sentenced to theft! Tang Yuan, I suggest you call the police now and have them arrest him!] As more and more people joined the discussion, Tang Yuan looked at everyone¡¯s insults toward Lin Fan and their flattery toward him. He felt like he was on cloud nine. He liked this feeling very much. Tang Yuan sneered in his heart, ¡®Kid, you didn¡¯t want to let me cut queue, huh? Let¡¯s see how doomed you¡¯ll be this time.¡¯ At the same time, Tang Yuan¡¯s mind began to work. Many internet celebrities suddenly became popular because of a certain matter. If this worked, could he also become an internet celebrity? In that case, he would not have to worry about food and clothing in the future. Thinking of this, Tang Yuan¡¯s heart began to beat faster. He opened Weibo and posted the same message online. Then, he went to place an order and hired a group of internet trolls to repost and comment on it. As one of the 10 ten universities in the country, Jiangbei University had a certain level of popularity. After Lin Fan joined Jiangbei University, he solved many math problems and won the Fields Medal. He also invented many high-tech products such as super batteries, the earthquake prediction device, carbon-based chips, and so on. After winning four Nobel Prizes, Jiangbei University became even more famous. The place really attracted the attention and discussion of many people. Later on, under the push of some people, the number of comments on Tang Yuan¡¯s Weibo post went from a few hundred to a few thousand. It later reached tens of thousands! Finally, a headline appeared on Weibo: [The thief from Jiangbei University!] This headline even climbed to the top of the trending searches. Some people berated Lin Fan, some suggested calling the police, and some even came to Jiangbei University to find the man in the gray T-shirt! ¡­ Lin Fan did not care about any of this at all. At this moment, he had already arrived at the office. Most students would not be in the mood to study or read on the first and last day of school. However, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Hao Zhiwu, Nie Zhenjiang, and the others had already buried their heads in learning. ¡°Meow!¡± Lil White, who was on Hao Zhiwu¡¯s shoulder, was the first to notice Lin Fan and let out a loud cry. ¡°Master, you¡¯re finally here! ¡°Master, I missed you so much! ¡°Master, can you give me something delicious? Lil White meowed as it came to Lin Fan¡¯s feet. It kept rubbing against him. To be honest, Lin Fan missed not petting the cat for two months. He bent down and rubbed it from its head to toe a few times. Then, he picked up a bag of premium beef cat food and placed it on the ground. Lil White stuffed its entire head into the cat food and began to eat. It was super delicious! At this moment, Hao Zhiwu felt his cat, Lil White, jump off his shoulder. He looked up and saw Lin Fan. He shouted excitedly, ¡°Professor Lin!¡± Then, everyone raised their heads. ¡°Professor Lin!¡± They had not seen each other for two months. At this moment, everyone was very excited. Firstly, it was because they missed Lin Fan. Secondly, they were grateful to Lin Fan! Gratitude? That was right! That was because before the summer break, all of the theses they wrote had successfully been published in top journals after Lin Fan¡¯s revision. In other words¡­ Each of them was a top-tier author! One had to know¡­ Many university professors did not even have their works published in a single top-tier publication! This was definitely an incredible matter. They understood that it was all Lin Fan¡¯s credit. ¡­ Xia Bing and Xia Xue took out two bottles of energy drink and handed them to Lin Fan. Lin Fan nodded his head at them. Then, he took the energy drinks and drank a mouthful of each. ¡°Did you encounter any problems in the past two months?¡± In fact, he was just asking casually. Usually, summer vacation was a good time for students to rest. However¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s students were obviously not ordinary. ¡°Professor Lin, I¡¯ve done some research on the nervous system, but there are still many things that I don¡¯t quite understand¡­¡± Hao Zhiwu was the first to speak. As he spoke, he took out a stack of draft paper. Every page of draft paper was filled with densely packed figures and characters, and there were also marks of different colors. If it were an ordinary teacher, they would probably have a headache seeing so many draft papers. However, Lin Fan did not care at all. He just looked at Hao Zhiwu with a slightly different expression. Then, he picked up the papers and quickly flipped through the stack. In about two minutes, Lin Fan had read through all the content and understood everything that was involved. ¡°You need to strengthen your neural connections and neurons. Also, there¡¯s a problem with your reaction here¡­¡± ¡°I see. Thank you, Professor!¡± Hao Zhiwu said. At the same time, his admiration for Lin Fan grew. He had only flipped through it a few times and already knew the problem. As expected of a professor! Then, Jiang Chaoqun walked over with a stack of draft paper and asked questions. Then, it was Liu Qianqian and Nie Zhenjiang¡­ Lin Fan spent about ten minutes answering their questions. Then, his gaze fell on Xia Bing and Xia Xue. ¡°Have you encountered any questions that you can¡¯t answer?¡± Xia Bing and Xia Xue¡¯s pretty faces instantly blushed. They nodded lightly and said, ¡°Yes!¡± After saying that, they took out a stack of draft paper. Some people said that geniuses were a result of 99% sweat and 1% inspiration. This sentence¡­ Perhaps it was an exaggeration. However, one thing was right. Geniuses often worked harder than ordinary people. Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Hao Zhiwu, Nie Zhenjiang, and the others were the best proof. They came to the office early every day. Even though it was a leisurely summer vacation, they did not relax. Chapter 546 - 546 They Are Talking Nonsense; Slandering! 546 They Are Talking Nonsense; Slandering! On the first day, Hao Zhiwu, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, and the others asked questions, and Lin Fan kept answering them. As the sun set, Lin Fan returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa after dinner. He sat on the soft sofa, sipping some Spirit Tea while admiring the scenery outside the window. He was extremely satisfied. ¡­ Now, it was the online world. As the topic of ¡®Jiangbei University Thief¡¯ continued to rise in popularity, more and more people joined the crusade team. Distant: [Taking without asking is a thief!] Snowflake: [How can there be such a shameless person who steals someone else¡¯s wallet? Pah!] Poor Man: [He¡¯s actually a student of Jiangbei University. There¡¯s still a long way to go for quality education!] Feng Baobao: [Who¡¯s in Jiangbei University? Hurry up and find him!] Flowers by the Sea: [Jiangbei University, when are you going to expel this student?] Feng: [Only expulsion? That would be too easy for him! he must bear legal responsibility!] ¡­ Tang Yuan¡¯s Weibo followers also began to increase rapidly. From the initial 1,120 followers, it directly increased to 300,000 followers in one day! He looked at the notifications on his phone, and his entire face broke into a smile. He could already see himself becoming a super internet celebrity, driving a luxury car and wearing a luxury watch¡­ No matter where she went, he would be greeted by countless fans screaming and asking him to take photos with them. He did the right thing by posting this! Many people on the internet asked Tang Yuan to call the police and arrest the thief. He replied in a kind tone: [After all, it wasn¡¯t easy for him to get into Jiangbei University. I don¡¯t want to be too harsh. I should give others a chance.] The reason why Tang Yuan replied like this was because he knew that Lin Fan did not steal the wallet. If they were to investigate and intervene, it might be disadvantageous to Tang Yuan if they found out anything. Secondly, it was because he wanted to create a persona. A kind persona was more likable! Sure enough, after he replied, his followers increased again. However, he refused to call the police, so the enthusiastic netizens could not stand it anymore. Someone still called the police in the end. Soon, the Jiangbei Investigation Department announced that they would be investigating the matter. Some ¡®enthusiastic¡¯ netizens even tagged Jiangbei University, wanting to get a reply. Jiangbei University did not want to reply to such a matter and only wanted to conduct a self-examination. However, the issue was too big of a deal. Due to the pressure¡­ they issued an announcement that night, saying that they would conduct a strict investigation and that they would publicly announce the follow-up. ¡­ In the male dormitory. Jiang Chaoqun had been studying the entire day. After taking a cold shower, he sat on the bed and casually scrolled through his phone for a while. When he saw the trending topic of ¡®Jiangbei University Thief,¡¯ he clicked on it out of curiosity. After all, he was now a student at Jiangbei University. ¡°350 million views and 87,000 comments? Why are there so many people discussing it?¡± Jiang Chaoqun said in surprise. ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m afraid our school is going to be completely ruined by this thief.¡± Then, Jiang Chaoqun looked down and his gaze fell on the back of the thief. He frowned and muttered, ¡°This back view and the clothes¡­ It seems¡­¡± Jiang Chaoqun pondered for a moment before opening the Take Off group chat and sending a message. Jiang Chaoqun: [Have you seen the popular post on Weibo?] The group chat consisted of Hao Zhiwu, Jiang Chaoqun, Nie Zhenjiang, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Liu Qianqian¡ªLin Fan¡¯s students. Take Off¡­ To everyone, as long as they could learn from Lin Fan, they would be able to take off one day. Hao Zhiwu: [Weibo? If he had the time to look at that thing, wouldn¡¯t it be nice to game instead?] Nie Zhenjiang: [Is there any special news on Weibo?] Liu Qianqian: [I didn¡¯t expect there to be boys who like to use Weibo. I rarely use it.] Jiang Chaoqun: [No. 1 trending search, Jiangbei University Thief.] Then, he sent the link. Xia Bing: [They¡¯re talking nonsense!] Xia Xue: [They¡¯re talking nonsense!] Xia Bing and Xia Xue recognized at a glance that the man was Lin Fan. They obviously did not believe the insults online. Liu Qianqian: [This back view is of Professor Lin¡­ He would never steal someone else¡¯s wallet!] After Liu Qianqian sent this message, the image of Lin Fan answering the difficult questions and throwing the basketball appeared in her mind. Hao Zhiwu was speechless. These people were definitely slandering Professor Lin! What the f*ck?! Nie Zhenjiang said, ¡°We have to get this student named Tang Yuan to come forward and clarify things. Otherwise, Professor Lin will be affected.¡± They all knew how amazing Lin Fan was. Just the bonus he received was enough to ensure he would not have to worry for a lifetime. Why would he steal someone else¡¯s wallet? How could he be a thief? ¡­ Xia Bing and Xia Xue did not continue to send messages to the Take Off group. They hurriedly turned on the computer and started typing on the keyboard. They wanted to clear Lin Fan¡¯s name! Not long after, dense codes appeared on the computer screen. Then, Tang Yuan¡¯s student status, exam results, school performance, class information, contact information, and so on appeared on the screen. Even with the contact information, Xia Bing and Xia Xue did not directly clarify things. There was no need! Since the other party was slandering Lin Fan, he had to pay the price! Their hands continued to move quickly on the keyboard. Their roommate, Zhao Ni, took a sip of iced Coke and burped. She asked curiously, ¡°Xia Bing, Xia Xue, what are you busy with?¡± Xia Bing, Xia Xue, and Zhao Ni had a good relationship. In the past, as long as Zhao Ni spoke, they would answer. However, today, it was as if they did not hear her. Their fingers were still jumping on the keyboard. Xia Bing and Xia Xue only wanted to clear Lin Fan¡¯s name as soon as possible and punish the slanderer! A moment later, a video appeared on the screen. It was the surveillance footage of Jiangbei University! In the morning, students were registering. The entire campus was filled with students and it was very noisy. Not long after, a tall and handsome figure appeared on the screen. It was Lin Fan! When Xia Bing and Xia Xue saw Lin Fan, their beautiful eyes seemed to flash with light and were extremely gentle. Then, a tall and thin man appeared on the screen. It was Tang Yuan! When Xia Bing and Xia Xue saw him, their beautiful eyes turned slightly cold. Lin Fan walked in front, and the two of them did not have any contact. Lin Fan did not pick up any wallet at all! After Tang Yuan took a photo of Lin Fan, he sneered. It was over! The truth was revealed! This was a false accusation! ¡­ Chapter 547 - 547 The Schools Self-Inspection; Announcement! 547 The School¡¯s Self-Inspection; Announcement! The Song family. Ever since Lin Fan gave the Song family the recipe for the new herbal tea, the sales of Song Herbal Tea started to increase day by day. It had the momentum of becoming the number-one beverage in the country. The entire Song family also began to become busy. They were expanding the market and growth line. Originally, the Song family wanted to wait for Song Jiaxin to graduate and open a random company for her to train. Then, she would come to manage the entire Song Herbal Tea. However, as the Song family became busier and busier¡­The Song family changed their decision. Of course, the most important thing was that Song Jiaxin was Lin Fan¡¯s classmate. Moreover, their relationship was not ordinary. In this situation, they had to give Song Jiaxin the power she needed as soon as possible. As a result, on the first day of school, Song Jiaxin did not report to school as she was dealing with company matters. Today, she dragged her tired body back to the villa at night and took an extremely comfortable hot bath. Then, Song Jiaxin sat in front of the window sill, picked up her phone, and started to browse. It was only at this time of the day that she had a little entertainment time of her own. Tired and fulfilling! Song Jiaxin opened Weibo out of habit. Soon, her gaze fell on the top trending topic¡ªJiangbei University Thief. Song Jiaxin frowned. She was naturally disgusted by thieves. She did not expect such a person to appear in her school. With a hint of anger, she clicked on the topic. In the next moment¡­ Song Jiaxin frowned even more. The back view of the man in the gray T-shirt! With just a glance, she could confirm that this person was Lin Fan. Lin Fan stole someone else¡¯s wallet? How was this possible? Song Jiaxin instantly understood that this was a false accusation! She had seen many similar things. Most of the time, even if it was proven that the person was framed, the slanderers would only receive a little criticism. Meanwhile, the victim would be deeply affected. However, the other party actually dared to frame Lin Fan!? Song Jiaxin¡¯s face instantly turned cold. She opened her contact list, found Black 001, and dialed the number. The internet was one of the most important parts of any enterprise. It involved important information such as accounts, operations, and planning. Therefore, many large enterprises had their own hackers to stop and conquer their enemies. Hacker 001 was Song Herbal Tea¡¯s most powerful hacker. ¡°Hello, Ms. Song.¡± A slightly hoarse voice came from the phone. Song Jiaxin said, ¡°Help me investigate the surveillance cameras of Jiangbei University. I want footage that¡¯s related to the thief in Jiangbei University, as well as other related information!¡± ¡°Yes, please wait a moment,¡± the hoarse voice said. A moment later, a compressed file appeared on her computer desktop. Song Jiaxin quickly felt relieved. It turned out that Tang Yuan and Lin Fan met for the first time at the registration office, and then they met for the second time at the field. That was where Tang Yuan took a photo¡­ Then, Tang Yuan first posted the message on his WeChat Moments before posting it on Weibo to frame Lin Fan. He even hired fake commenters. The more Song Jiaxin read the information, the colder her expression became. ¡°How vicious! Hmph!¡± Then, she dialed the number of the public relations department. ¡°Help me post a video and an article. I want it to enter the top of the trending list in the shortest time possible!¡± ¡°Got it!¡± A solemn tone came from the phone. ¡­ Jiangbei University. Director Huang of the Academic Affairs Office, Professor Wang of the School of Computer Science, Director Liu of the Security Department, and the others were all gathered together. ¡°Director Huang, the school¡¯s surveillance footage is all here.¡± ¡°Thank you for your hard work,¡± said Director Huang. Then, he said to the bald middle-aged man beside him, ¡°Professor Wang, I¡¯m sorry to trouble you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter,¡± said Professor Wang. After saying that, he sat in front of the computer and prepared to copy the surveillance video. At this moment, Professor Wang said, ¡°Huh? The surveillance footage seems to have been hacked.¡± ¡°Someone has hacked in and forced me out.¡± Director Huang frowned slightly. The location of this particular surveillance camera was not a private location. However, it was also troublesome if the hacker was someone with evil intentions. Director Liu obviously realized this and asked, ¡°When was it hacked?¡± ¡°Today, just now¡­¡± Professor Wang said. ¡°However, you don¡¯t have to be too nervous. The other party only hacked into today¡¯s surveillance cameras and only copied the footage.¡± When Director Huang and Director Liu heard this, they both heaved a sigh of relief. If it was just today, it should not have had too much of an impact. Professor Wang did not say anything else. His hands were jumping on the keyboard. Then, he quickly compared the back view of the thief from Jiangbei University with the surveillance footage. It had to be said that knowledge had an extremely magical ability. It would have taken hours to get the information. In less than ten seconds, the front, side, and back of the man in the gray T-shirt and Tang Yuan appeared on the screen. ¡°I¡¯ve already found out,¡± said Professor Wang. Then, the three of them looked at the screen. The next moment, Director Huang, Professor Wang, and Director Liu widened their eyes and shouted, ¡°What?¡± Lin Fan! The thief Tang Yuan was talking about was Lin Fan? ¡°Nonsense!¡± Director Huang was the first to break out of her mouth. ¡°Slander!¡± ¡°The moral values of the world are declining day by day, and the hearts of the people are no longer what they used to be! Does he think he can spout nonsense on the internet? That¡¯s simply unreasonable!¡± ¡°How vicious!¡± Director Liu exclaimed. According to their initial thoughts, after checking the surveillance video, even if they found out that the other party did not secretly pick up a wallet, they would find him and interrogate him in detail. Now, there was no need! It was completely unnecessary! Who was Lin Fan? He was a mathematician who had solved several unsolved mathematical problems, a super scholar who invented the earthquake prediction device, the carbon-based photolithographic machine, the super battery, and the human islet recovery drug! This time, he even won the Fields Medal and four Nobel Prizes! That was right! He was enough to be called a great existence! Now, someone actually said that he was a thief? How was this possible? ¡°Director Huang, I think the school must handle this matter properly. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid a great scholar like Professor Lin will be wronged!¡± Professor Wang said seriously. ¡°I¡¯ll report this to the school now and deal with this matter in the strictest and swiftest way possible. I¡¯ll try my best to reduce the grievances Professor Lin has suffered!¡± Director Huang said solemnly. That night, the chancellor, vice-chancellor, director of academic affairs, director of education, and many other high-ranking officials of Jiangbei University held an emergency meeting. Generally speaking, in order to ensure the accuracy of the information, it would take at least three days of investigation before it was announced. However¡­ Before dawn the next day, Jiangbei University started behaving strangely¡­ They released an investigation notice regarding the thief at Jiangbei University. Chapter 548 - 548 News from All Sides; Results! 548 News from All Sides; Results! On Weibo. The topic of Jiangbei University¡¯s thief was still brewing. More and more people joined the discussion. Everyone¡¯s emotions kept climbing. They kept praising Tang Yuan. There were even signs that the thief would be expelled immediately. At this moment, a trending topic suddenly appeared on Weibo: [Nonsense!] Bing: [Tang Yuan¡¯s talking nonsense! video.mp4] Xue: [Tang Yuan¡¯s talking nonsense! video.mp4] These were Xia Bing and Xia Xue¡¯s newly registered accounts. They were posts by new accounts, so how could they get any popularity? However, their thoughts were that they had to let more people know that Lin Fan had been wronged! Therefore, they used their own network technology to push the topic to the trending list. This attracted a few comments. Chaos: [F*ck! Tang Yuan¡¯s spouting nonsense? He¡¯s framing someone?] Tian: [Framing? Commenter, why don¡¯t you take a look at the situation first? There are only a few comments, but it became a trending topic. Isn¡¯t that strange?] The Charm of Nowhere: [That¡¯s disgusting! The thief must have paid for this post! Moreover, he¡¯s buying traffic! He even used two newly registered accounts to make these posts! Pah! Do you think that this will make everyone deny what you¡¯ve done? Impossible!] Flower: [Thief, I advise you to quickly go to jail and stop resisting!] Comparing Heart: [Shameless thief! You actually blurred your face in the video. Since you¡¯re taking things this far, then show your face! Are you afraid? You have a guilty conscience, huh? Pah!] Did not show his face? That was right! Xia Bing and Xia Xue indeed did not reveal Lin Fan¡¯s face. That was because they had been observing Lin Fan¡¯s information every day. Gradually, Xia Bing and Xia Xue realized that Lin Fan did not like to be exposed on the internet. As a result, even though he had achieved such huge achievements, there was not a single photo of him on the internet. In addition, Xia Bing and Xia Xue did not want to cause Lin Fan any negative effects. What Xia Bing and Xia Xue did not know was that the video could be posted only because they had blurred Lin Fan¡¯s face. Otherwise, their video would not have appeared on the internet. That was because Lin Fan had the super smart watch, Lil White, which was always carrying out Lin Fan¡¯s orders. As long as any videos or photos of him appeared on the internet, they would be deleted immediately. At this moment, the internet was attacking Lin Fan. Even if Xia Bing and Xia Xue pushed the topic to the hot searches and even if there was video evidence, it was useless. However, not long after¡­ Jiangbei News, Weibo News, Daily News, Hot News, and other major media outlets released the news at the same time. [The Slander at Jiangbei University!] The news released the surveillance footage of Lin Fan and Tang Yuan. Then, they analyzed and summarized all the details, including how Tang Yuan had hired commenters. The content was clear and understandable. Initially, after a day since the news broke, the people on the internet were boiling with excitement over the thief at Jiangbei University. When they saw the new update, they immediately felt as if they had been doused with cold water. Everyone calmed down again. Lin Zi: [We seem to have been used?] Huanhuan: [This¡­] Ling Bo Qiu Tang: [What¡¯s the real situation?] Zhou Yan: [Why do I still feel that something is not right? This news article is all analysis and reasoning. In the end, it¡¯s all speculation! If they wanted to report on this, they should also investigate it, right? At the very least, the outcome should be reported by the official department of Jiangbei University, right?] No Sugar in Coffee: [The commenter above is right! The entire thing was strange! I suspect that the thief might have hired these verified accounts! [I¡¯ll analyze it here! [This thief might be a young master of a large consortium. The reason why he did such a thing might be because of some special hobby!] Cheng Cheng Cheng: [That¡¯s impossible, right? These accounts seem to be official accounts.] ¡­ This was done by Song Jiaxin. Even though she could not completely convince everyone, it made some people less radical. ¡­ While everyone was discussing, Jiangbei University¡¯s official website also released an announcement. Jiangbei University: [An announcement regarding the theft case at our school. Our school has attached great importance to this incident. After careful investigation, we¡¯re now responding to the process and results of the incident. [This incident started when Tang Yuan wanted to cut the queue. After the other party refused, Tang Yuan seemed to harbor hatred for the other party. [Therefore, when they met again, Mr. Tang took a photo and took revenge. [Later, because Tang Yuan wanted to use this opportunity to create a hot topic and become famous as an internet celebrity, he deliberately made a big deal out of the incident. [Therefore, this incident has nothing to do with the man in the photo. [The school has decided to give Tang Yuan a major demerit and put him on probation for framing someone. [We hope all students will take this as a warning! [Finally, we would like to thank everyone for paying attention to Jiangbei University.] This announcement quickly attracted the attention and comments of countless people. Fang Yuan: [Terrifying! It¡¯s really a false accusation! Isn¡¯t that too vile?] Dazhuang¡¯s Mother: [I was praising Tang Yuan so much, but he actually framed someone else!] Watermelon: [He took revenge because the other party didn¡¯t let him cut the queue? He¡¯s too evil.] Windy People: [This is too disgusting. Also, I hate it when people cut in line!] Frosty: [Jiangbei University¡¯s investigation is so fast this time, but is it true?] ¡­ Soon after, the Jiangbei Police Department also issued a similar announcement. The Jiangbei Police Department: [After investigation, we can confirm that Tang Yuan did frame someone else. [However, the police were not called for this. [Now, Mr. Tang should publicly apologize to the other party on the internet.] ¡­ Soon, the post received many comments. MMM: [So he really framed another person!] Shallow Smile: [Winning public sympathy and wasting public resources!] Lan Lingling: [If what some people said is true and that the thief is the young master of a big corporation¡­ It¡¯s terrifying to think about it!] Wenwen: [Terrifying!] ¡­ Even though many major media outlets, Jiangbei University, and the Jiangbei Police Department had released news and announcements, they still did not gain everyone¡¯s trust. That was until midnight! The Nation Daily posted on Weibo. Chapter 549 - 549 Meeting Li Xinyue Again; Introduction! 549 Meeting Li Xinyue Again; Introduction! Nation Daily: [Defamation and slander are both crimes! Recently, Tang Yuan from Jiangbei University has been using the internet to slander others. Little did he know that he¡¯s already embarked on the path of crime! I hope everyone will take this as a warning!] This article was not long. However, it made everyone believe that Tang Yuan was framing Lin Fan! This was the Nation Daily! It was the fairest and most loyal news outlet! Li Ruo: [So that¡¯s how it is. I was almost deceived by Tang Yuan.] Chen Niannian: [I hope that this matter can be dealt with seriously to prevent such things from happening again.] Xu Yue: [He took advantage of everyone¡¯s sympathy. This kind of person is very despicable.] Qiankun Tianxia: [I saw someone say something. The person who¡¯s framed is a rich second-generation heir. He¡¯s delusional, right?] The Wind Blows Over: [If he¡¯s committed a crime, the Jiangbei Police Department and Jiangbei University can¡¯t let him off so easily!] Love You for Ten Thousand Years: [Severe punishment!] Wood-Type: [Yeah, severe punishment!] ¡­ It was nighttime. Tang Yuan looked at his increasing number of followers and smiled widely. However, before he could smile for long, he was called to the meeting room by the leaders of Jiangbei University. There, he saw the professor, the director, the dean¡­ Even the chancellor! Tang Yuan had always thought that he would not be ordinary in the future. He would either become a senior official of a listed company or a big internet celebrity! However, when he saw so many leaders, he could not help but be at a loss. It was very stressful to answer questions in front of so many leaders. In addition to the professional and strict review, as well as the concrete evidence¡­ Not long after, Tang Yuan told them everything. Therefore, Jiangbei University punished Tang Yuan that day. According to the chancellor and the others, the impact of this incident was very bad. If Tang Yuan did not admit his mistake, he would be expelled. This was not the end! Tang Yuan had just returned to his dormitory when two police officers rushed over. ¡°Hello, are you Mr. Tang? You¡¯re suspected of slandering others. Please come with us.¡± On the first day of school, Tang Yuan was given a major demerit and was kept on probation. Furthermore, he had to spend the entire night at the police station¡­ He became extremely haggard, and his heart was filled with endless regret. ¡­ Lin Fan was completely oblivious to all of this. Of course, even if he knew, he would not care. The next day, he arrived at Jiangbei University as usual. Last night, Xia Bing and Xia Xue already knew what had happened to Tang Yuan. They were very happy and constantly smiling. They had some involvement in yesterday¡¯s incident. This made them feel like they had helped Lin Fan, so they were very happy. A few days passed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday. During the summer break, Lin Fan stayed at home in Qing City. It was very warm and comfortable. However, it lacked the bustling experience of a big city. After breakfast, Lin Fan went to the financial street of Jiangbei. He looked at the tall buildings on both sides of the road and experienced the bustling city that he had not seen in a long time. ¡­ Today, Wang Tong and Li Xinyue went shopping on the financial street. Originally, Li Xinyue did not want to go out. However, since Wang Tong had invited her again and again, Li Xinyue could not keep refusing. After all, the two of them were roommates, after all. It would not be good if their relationship was too strained. On the second day of school, under Wang Tong¡¯s suggestion, four of them held a dinner party. Wang Tong happened to run into her boyfriend and his two friends. Hence, they decided to eat together. After that, Wang Tong often praised one of the men called Tan Jiayou in front of Li Xinyue. It was said his family¡¯s assets were close to 100 million yuan, he lived in a big villa, drove a supercar, and so on. She even asked Li Xinyue what she thought of him. Li Xinyue was not a child who did not know anything. She naturally understood what Wang Tong meant. The other party wanted to matchmake her and Tan Jiayou. Hence, Li Xinyue said straightforwardly, ¡°I have someone I like.¡± At this point¡­ Wang Tong stopped talking about such topics. Today, after Wang Tong¡¯s invitation, Li Xinyue agreed to go shopping together. She did not expect to meet Tan Jiayou, who was dressed in a suit. It was a coincidence. Two coincidences. How could there be so many coincidences in this world? Li Xinyue was not happy, but she did not want to say anything. However, Tan Jiayou was like a mangy dog, sticking close to her and constantly looking for a topic to talk about. This annoyed Li Xinyue, and she frowned. Just as she was about to find an excuse to leave, she looked up and saw a tall and handsome figure. It was Lin Fan! At this moment, Li Xinyue¡¯s brows instantly relaxed. Her face was very pretty, and now it looked extremely brilliant. When Lin Fan invited Chief Physician Li to treat Li Xinyue¡¯s father who was suffering from a tumor, Li Xinyue¡¯s heart went through many changes. At first, she was grateful. But as time passed, Lin Fan seemed to occupy a bigger position in her heart. When Li Xinyue was alone, the image of Lin Fan chatting with her father would often appear in her mind. The image of Lin Fan smiling, the image of Lin Fan opening the door¡­ Gradually, Li Xinyue knew that she had fallen in love with Lin Fan. She wanted to be with Lin Fan forever. It was this mentality that made Li Xinyue study hard last semester. In the end, she entered Jiangbei University with excellent results. Ever since she came to Jiangbei University, Li Xinyue had been looking forward to meeting him. Today, it finally became a reality! Li Xinyue called out in a trembling voice, ¡°Brother Lin!¡± Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°Xinyue.¡± Then, Li Xinyue ignored Tan Jiayou who was nagging and ran toward Lin Fan. During the college entrance exam, Lin Fan realized that Li Xinyue had already become slim and graceful. After the summer break, Lin Fan realized that Li Xinyue¡¯s face, waist, and thighs had not changed. However, her neck had elongated. ¡°You¡¯re at Jiangbei University?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Li Xinyue nodded her head vigorously. As she spoke, her beautiful eyes shone with a brilliant light. Her entire face was flushed red with excitement. Tan Jiayou¡¯s face darkened when he saw this. Wang Tong, who was beside him, asled, ¡°Xinyue, is this your friend? Why didn¡¯t you introduce us?¡± After a pause, she said, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Wang Tong from Xinyue¡¯s university.¡± ¡°This is my boyfriend¡¯s friend, Tan Jiayou.¡± As she introduced him, her eyes were sizing him up. Lin Fan said, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Lin Fan. I¡¯m Xinyue¡¯s senior from high school.¡± Even though Lin Fan didn¡¯t like this kind of scrutiny, the other party was Li Xinyue¡¯s friend after all. He could not make things too ugly. Chapter 550 - 550 Promotion; Doing Business! 550 Promotion; Doing Business! Wang Tong believed that she had a pair of sharp eyes that could see through men. She could easily discover a man¡¯s financial status. She looked at his watch. Then, she looked at his clothes. Finally, she looked at his shoes. The poor played with cars, the rich played with watches. As long as a man had some money, especially a young man, he would definitely wear a luxury model watch! Not to mention the likes of Patrick Phillippe, Vacheron Constantin, and Rolex¡­ At the very least, it should be a Longines, right? Lin Fan was wearing an electronic watch! How ridiculous! He was not afraid of losing face! Wang Tong did not know that Lin Fan had dozens of watches worth millions of yuan, such as Vacheron Constantin watches and Patek Philippe watches! However, Lin Fan did not wear any of them because those watches could only tell the time. How could it compare to a super smart watch? ¡­ Clothes made the man. Clothes represented a man¡¯s taste. In Wang Tong¡¯s opinion, taste was equivalent to big brands! Rich men should wear LV, Prada, Armani¡­ If it was sportswear, it would at least be Nike or Adidas, right? But what about Lin Fan? He did not wear any branded items. He probably got his outfit from street stalls! How would Wang Tong know that Lin Fan was wearing custom-made clothes made by the famous LV designer, Lawrence Hatton. There was no logo on his clothes, and they were not sold on the market. Naturally, she did not know about it! ¡­ Shoes were a man¡¯s foundation! In Wang Tong¡¯s opinion, any man with a little money had to at least have good shoes! Even if he did not wear Gucci, Hermes, LV¡­ At the very least, he should wear Chanel, right? What about Lin Fan? His shoes were not branded! It was probably another street stall item! Wang Tong did not know that the shoes were also custom-made for him. However, this time, they were designed by Gucci¡¯s famous designer, Harston. After all, Lin Fan was a shareholder of both LV and Gucci! LV had sent a professional designer, so how could Gucci dare to fall behind? ¡­ Wang Tong was completely unaware of all of this. However, in her eyes, she had already seen through everything about Lin Fan. He was a loser! Wang Tong rolled her eyes and laughed disdainfully. ¡°So you¡¯re Xinyue¡¯s senior from high school¡­ ¡°Mr. Lin, are you working in Jiangbei?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°You can say so.¡± This sentence was partly perfunctory and partly true. This was because he had the largest shares in companies such as Xiao Wu Wholesale City and Yinshan Group. Even though he only took the dividends, he was also holding onto the title of director of these companies. It could be considered as working. Li Xinyue looked at Lin Fan curiously. Was Brother Lin not studying at Jiangbei University? Why was he working now? Of course, Li Xinyue did not ask too much. ¡°Then today is a good opportunity!¡± Wang Tong said with a smile. ¡°You might not know, but Mr. Tan Jiayou next to me is the young master of the famous Waffle Corporation. As long as you build a good relationship with him, there¡¯ll definitely be no problem for you to be promoted and get a raise in the future! ¡°Oh right, Jiayou, is your family¡¯s Waffle Corporation going public soon?¡± First, she mentioned the young master, then the listed company, which raised Tan Jiayou to a very high position. Promotion and raise? Li Xinyue blinked her big eyes and remained silent. She knew that Lin Fan had a supercar and that he could easily look for the association director, Li Quan. He even took out a very magical potion that instantly cured her father¡¯s injuries. Everything showed that Lin Fan did not lack money at all. Tan Jiayou raised his head and pretended to be casual. ¡°Three years at the latest. Waffle Corporation is already in the process of an IPO.¡± Wang Tong immediately opened her mouth wide and praised, ¡°This is too amazing!¡± This praise came from Wang Tong¡¯s heart. She knew very well what going public meant. It was also possible for his net worth to increase by a hundred times in an instant! Tan Jiayou still looked like he did not care, but his neck was raised even more. ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t really care about my family¡¯s company. ¡°I want to achieve something with my own abilities. That¡¯s why I joined Maple Leaf Ventures. Now, I have some achievements and is a department manager at Maple Leaf Ventures.¡± ¡°Not only do you have a good family background, but you¡¯re also so capable!¡± Wang Tong praised again. ¡°Jiayou, you¡¯re too amazing!¡± As she spoke, her eyes seemed to flash with light, and she seemed to have transformed into a fangirl. ¡°I¡¯m just a manager. It¡¯s not a big deal. I have to become a partner first.¡± Although Tan Jiayou said that, he could not help but reveal a smug look on his face. He was that powerful! Tan Jiayou was lost in the praises. Perhaps even he had forgotten that his family was only fantasizing about going public in three years. It was still unknown when the company would be listed, or whether it would have a chance to be listed. As for the position of department manager of Maple Leaf Ventures, he did not get it based on his ability at all. It was directly obtained through his family¡¯s connections. After Tan Jiayou was pleased with himself, he seemed to realize that Li Xinyue¡¯s senior, Lin Fan, was still beside him. He glanced at Lin Fan and said, ¡°Mr. Lin, you¡¯re Xinyue¡¯s senior, so you¡¯re my friend. If your work isn¡¯t going well, you can come to my family¡¯s company. I¡¯ll give you twice the salary of your previous company!¡± Double the salary? Lin Fan¡¯s expression turned weird. One had to know¡­ In addition to the dividends from companies such as Xiao Wu Wholesale City and Yinshan Group, these companies also specially prepared tens of millions of yuan for his annual salary. Double the salary? It was probably 100 billion, right? Did Waffle Corporation have an annual profit of 100 million? Tan Jiayou did not wait for Lin Fan¡¯s reply and said, ¡°Of course, if you don¡¯t want to work and want to do business, I can also get Maple Leaf Ventures to get you an investment or something.¡± Lin Fan smiled, ¡°Really? I do want to do business.¡± ¡°No problem! How much investment do you need?¡± Tan Jiayou asked. Lin Fan said, ¡°Let¡¯s test the waters first¡­¡± As he spoke, he extended a finger. Test the waters? How much could this be? 10,000? 100,000? Not to mention the venture capital company, even Tan Jiayou himself could fork out that money. He immediately said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. As long as you want it, I can give you the money immediately!¡± At this moment, a Lamborghini roared like a ferocious beast and sped over from afar. When it passed by Lin Fan, the driver stepped on the brakes and stopped beside him. Then, a man in a checkered shirt quickly got out of the car. He called out in an extremely excited and respectful voice, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, what a coincidence. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here!¡± As soon as he said that, the entire scene suddenly fell silent. Chapter 551 - 551 Hello, Sister Xinyue; Apologize! 551 Hello, Sister Xinyue; Apologize! This man was Liu Yuhang, whom he had not seen for a long time! Back then, after the mountain road race, Liu Yuhang began to get close to Lin Fan. Later on, when he brought Lin Fan to the capital to attend the auction, Lin Fan casually saved Old Master Zhou. Liu Yuhang was shocked by Lin Fan. When Lin Fan used his amazing financial methods to easily earn 400% profit in the stock market in just three days, Liu Yuhang started to worship him even more. Not too long ago, Lin Fan offered to sell the drug to the Liu and Sun families. Liu Yuhang was extremely grateful. In the beginning, he only wanted to be on good terms with Lin Fan. However, later on, Liu Yuhang completely treated himself as Lin Fan¡¯s lackey. How could a lackey not be excited when he saw his big brother? Wang Tong was stunned. Liu Yuhang had walked out of a Lamborghini. He actually knew Lin Fan? His tone was so respectful too! Respectful? A rich young master who drove a Lamborghini was respectful to a loser? What was going on? In contrast to Wang Tong¡¯s confusion, Tan Jiayou¡¯s heart was beating wildly. He knew¡­ Or rather, he had seen Liu Yuhang before! It was at a dinner party not long ago¡­ When Liu Yuhang arrived at the banquet venue, he immediately became the most dazzling presence. Everyone hurriedly went forward to ask about his well-being and smiled apologetically. Tan Jiayou¡¯s father, on the other hand, was so happy that he could not sleep for a few nights because Liu Yuhang had a drink with him. Later, his father told Tan Jiayou that Liu Yuhang was the young master of Liu Pharmaceuticals! What kind of existence was Liu Pharmaceuticals? Before this year, Liu Pharmaceuticals was a giant enterprise in the entire Jiang Province! This year, Liu Pharmaceuticals and Sun Pharmaceuticals obtained the total sales rights of the human islet recovery drug. This led to the expansion of Liu and Sun Pharmaceuticals. They had the potential to become the top pharmaceutical companies in the country. As the young master of Liu Pharmaceuticals, Liu Yuhang was like a person sitting on top of the clouds! Such an existence had actually appeared in front of him. Moreover, he even addressed this ordinary-looking young man as Brother Lin Fan? This¡­ He must have misheard! That was it! Lin Fan was a little surprised. ¡°Yuhang, long time no see. What have you been busy with recently?¡± Liu Yuhang smiled. ¡°Brother Lin Fan, ever since you gave the task of developing the human islet recovery drug to my family and the Sun family, I¡¯ve been helping my family expand the market.¡± Tan Jiayou was shocked! He did not hear wrongly! Liu Yuhang was really calling him Brother Lin Fan! Moreover, from what Liu Yuhang said, the reason why Liu Pharmaceuticals and Sun Pharmaceuticals were able to sell the human islet recovery drug was all because of Lin Fan? Who exactly was this young man? He had just said that he wanted the other party to work in his father¡¯s company and give him double his salary. Also, Li Xinyue seemed to be Lin Fan¡¯s girlfriend. He had also repeatedly expressed his desire for Li Xinyue. This¡­ This¡­ Tan Jiayou¡¯s face turned pale at the thought of this, and a thin layer of sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead. He understood that he had caused trouble. It was a disaster! Lin Fan did not care about Tan Jiayou¡¯s change of heart. He continued to chat and laugh with Liu Yuhang. ¡°You bastard, it seems that you¡¯re blaming me for giving your family and the Sun family the opportunity to sell the drug, which is why you don¡¯t have time to fool around anymore.¡± Liu Yuhang said, ¡°Of course not! I¡¯m so happy! ¡°It¡¯s because you let our family sell the drug that I have the simple task of expanding the market. I completed it quickly, and my family even gave me a lot of bonuses. ¡°With this money, I can make better modifications to my car!¡± Liu Yuhang¡¯s eyes lit up at the mention of car modification. He was extremely excited. He loved cars from the bottom of his heart. Looking at how serious he was, Lin Fan could not help but burst out laughing. Then, Lin Fan introduced, ¡°Oh right. This is my junior, Li Xinyue.¡± What kind of foresight did Liu Yuhang have? He easily noticed that Li Xinyue was exquisite and beautiful. Furthermore, the way she looked at Lin Fan was filled with love. ¡°Sister Xinyue!¡± Liu Yuhang said. ¡°Hello, Xinyue.¡± Liu Yuhang was several years older than Li Xinyue. However, he called her ¡®Sister Xinyue.¡¯ Li Xinyue¡¯s pretty face instantly flushed red. She understood what this title meant. Liu Yuhang had just called Lin Fan ¡®Brother Fan¡¯! Li Xinyue was both shy and happy. Liu Yuhang turned around and opened the trunk to the Lamborghini. He took out a suet jade bracelet and said, ¡°Sister Xinyue, I left in a hurry today and didn¡¯t bring any gifts. I hope you don¡¯t mind this bracelet.¡± Li Xinyue did not like to accept gifts from others. Especially guys. However, this was a gift from Lin Fan¡¯s friend. Moreover, the other party even called her ¡®Sister Xinyue.¡¯ If she did not accept it, would Lin Fan have other thoughts? Li Xinyue hesitated for a while but still reached out and said, ¡°Thank you¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re too kind, Sister Xinyue.¡± Liu Yuhang laughed heartily.¡± It had to be said that Liu Yuhang had good communication skills. With just a few words, he easily got close to Li Xinyue. At this moment, Lin Fan seemed to have thought of something. He turned to Tan Jiayou and said, ¡°By the way, you just said that as long as I want to do business, you can transfer the money to me immediately, right? Then let¡¯s do it. Transfer ten billion first.¡± Ten billion? Even if Tan Jiayu sold the entire Tan family, he would not be able to gather that much money. Tan Jiayou understood that Lin Fan was deliberately making things difficult for him and punishing him. Therefore, he said in a mournful tone, ¡°M-Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry. I was blind earlier. I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°What do you mean? Didn¡¯t you say that your family¡¯s Waffle Corporation is going public soon? Aren¡¯t you a department manager at Maple Leaf Ventures? Didn¡¯t you just agree to loan me money? It¡¯s just ten billion.¡± Tan Jiayou was about to cry. He said in a panic, ¡°Mr. Lin, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry¡­ I won¡¯t pester Li Xinyue anymore. I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Lin Fan grunted. Liu Yuhang was pretty smart. With just a few simple sentences, he easily knew the general process of the matter. Perhaps Tan Jiayou saw Li Xinyue¡¯s beauty and began to show off his strength to win her admiration. He was lusting for Lin Fan¡¯s woman, and it was in front of Lin Fan! What a bastard! Liu Yuhang¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Waffle Corporation? The chairman¡¯s surname is Tan, right? It seems that this company has been developing too smoothly.¡± Tan Jiayou¡¯s body trembled, and he said in panic,¡± Young Master Liu, please have mercy. Mr. Lin, Young Master Liu¡­ I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Chapter 552 - 552 Dinner; Shopping! 552 Dinner; Shopping! Compared to some factories and companies, Waffle Corporation could be considered a large company with a total asset of more than 100 million yuan. However, there was no comparison between Waffle Corporation and Liu Pharmaceuticals! The difference was between heaven and earth! Although Liu Yuhang was normally a joker, he did not put on any airs. However, he was definitely not a soft-hearted person. Liu Yuhang ignored Tan Jiayou¡¯s pleas as if he had not heard them. Lin Fan looked at the passersby around him. They seemed to be looking at him curiously because of Tan Jiayou¡¯s voice. He frowned and said, ¡°It¡¯s almost time for dinner. Let¡¯s go eat something first. ¡°Yuhang, are there any good places?¡± Liu Yuhang immediately said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, you¡¯ve asked the right person! I¡¯ll make the arrangements for lunch. What do you think?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have to worry about it and I can eat delicious food for free. Of course, that¡¯s great!¡± Lin Fan smiled. Liu Yuhang was also very happy. ¡°Then leave it to me!¡± ¡°Brother Lin Fan, there¡¯s only one seat in my car. I¡¯ll arrange for another car to come over.¡± Lin Fan waved his hand. ¡°No need. My car is over there. You can lead the way.¡± As he spoke, he took out his car keys and pressed them lightly. Not far away, the tall and cool Cullinan immediately lit up. Then, Lin Fan said to Li Xinyue, ¡°Xinyue, are you free in the afternoon? Do you want to eat together?¡± Eating with Brother Lin Fan? This was something she had always dreamed of! Li Xinyue did not hesitate and immediately nodded. ¡°I¡¯m free!¡± Wang Tong saw Lin Fan and Liu Yuhang reprimanding Tan Jiayou like he was their grandson. Furthermore, Liu Yuhang was driving a Lamborghini while Lin Fan was driving a Cullinan¡­ At this moment, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that they were both very impressive rich young masters. Wang Tong could not help but say, ¡°Uhh¡­ Can I go with you?¡± As she spoke, she put on a pitiful look, looking like an injured rabbit. Lin Fan did not say anything and looked at Li Xinyue. ¡°No,¡± Li Xinyue said directly. After saying that, she got into Lin Fan¡¯s Cullinan. Li Xinyue and Wang Tong had only been friends for a week. They were not familiar with each other at all. In the dormitory, Wang Tong had been praising Tan Jiayou in front of Li Xinyue, trying to matchmake the two of them. This had already made Li Xinyue a little unhappy. However, she did not show it and just rejected Wang Tong¡¯s request directly. Today, after Li Xinyue rejected her outright, Wang Tong found an excuse to ask her out and even created a chance encounter between her and Tan Jiayou. This made Li Xinyue feel disgusted. In Li Xinyue¡¯s mind, she had already blacklisted Wang Tong. At this moment, how could he agree to let her join them for their meal? Lin Fan heard her reply and did not stop. He stepped on the accelerator and followed the Lamborghini. A super sports car and a top-notch SUV¡­ One after the other, they formed a beautiful scenery on the wide street, attracting the attention of many passersby. Not long after, the three of them arrived at a restaurant called Big Pufferfish. Just as they reached the entrance of the restaurant, an alluring fragrance filled the air, making people feel like their appetite was whetted. Li Xinyue was a little confused. ¡°Pufferfish? Can we eat pufferfish? Isn¡¯t it poisonous?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Pufferfish are indeed poisonous. However, only the ovaries, liver, kidneys, blood, eyes, gills, skin, and other parts of the pufferfish are poisonous. Among them, the ovaries and liver contain fatal poison. ¡°Therefore, when cooking pufferfish, as long as you let an experienced chef completely remove these parts, especially the ovaries and liver, you can eat without worry.¡± His answer was very indifferent. In fact, these¡­ only applied to ordinary people. If it was Lin Fan, even if the ovaries and liver were not removed, it would not matter. That was because Lin Fan was already immune to all poisons. Hearing Lin Fan¡¯s reply, Li Xinyue¡¯s face was filled with infatuation. Erudite and talented! It was as if nothing could stop Brother Lin Fan! He was so handsome! ¡°As expected of Brother Lin Fan!¡± Liu Yuhang exclaimed. ¡°You even know all this! It seems like¡­ you¡¯ve already eaten pufferfish! I thought of letting you have a taste today¡­¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°I only saw this from other places. Today is my first time eating pufferfish.¡± Lin Fan¡¯s words could be said to be half true. This was because his knowledge about pufferfish was not obtained from other sources. It was something he learned from the system when he obtained Master Chef Experience. However, Lin Fan had never eaten pufferfish before. Liu Yuhang laughed and said, ¡°Then it seems that I brought you to the right place.¡± After a while, a large pot of fragrant pufferfish soup was served. As the soup boiled, Liu Yuhang said, ¡°Brother Lin Fan, Sister Xinyue, you can try the soup first. It¡¯s very sweet and delicious.¡± The two of them took a sip of the soup. Li Xinyue¡¯s pretty face revealed a look of enjoyment that was difficult to hide. Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡± Liu Yuhang was even happier. ¡°Try the pufferfish meat,¡± he said. It melted in one¡¯s mouth, fresh and sweet! Li Xinyue could not help but exclaim, ¡°It¡¯s delicious!¡± Lin Fan nodded his head. The three of them were very happy and satisfied with the meal. It was rare for Liu Yuhang to meet Lin Fan, so he really wanted to talk to him. However, he knew that now was not the time. He might even disturb Lin Fan and Li Xinyue¡¯s time together. After lunch, Liu Yuhang found an excuse and left early. ¡°Xinyue, have you been to Jiangbei?¡± Lin Fan asked. ¡°Not yet.¡± Li Xinyue shook her head. In fact, this was also the reason why Wang Tong had asked her out today. Lin Fan said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll bring you around so that you can digest your food better.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Li Xinyue said happily. In her heart, as long as she was with Lin Fan, she was willing to do anything. Lin Fan first brought Li Xinyue to the famous lake in Jiangbei to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Then, he brought her to M Mall. When he passed by the Cartier store, he bought a necklace for Li Xinyue under the recommendation of the salesperson. After all, even Liu Yuhang had given her a gift. How could Lin Fan, her senior, not give her a gift? Today, Li Xinyue had a sweet smile on her face almost all the time. She was extremely happy. It was not because she got to see the beautiful scenery of Jiangbei, nor was it because she could experience the bustling city. It was because she met Lin Fan, had a meal with him, and received a gift from him! Chapter 553 - 553 Punish; Awards (1) 553 Punish; Awards (1) When Li Xinyue returned to Jiangbei University, it was already nine o¡¯clock at night. As soon as she walked into the dormitory, Wang Tong quickly came over and said with a smile, ¡°Xinyue, you¡¯re back¡­ ¡°You must be thirsty, right? I just bought you a cup of milk tea.¡± Obviously, Wang Tong was trying to ease the relationship between the two of them. The strength that Lin Fan had displayed was simply too extraordinary. ¡°Drink it yourself,¡± Li Xinyue said indifferently. ¡°I¡¯m not thirsty.¡± After saying that, she walked away and sat on her bed. Wang Tong raised the milk tea and felt a little awkward. She gritted her teeth and came to Li Xinyue again. ¡°Xinyue, it was my fault earlier¡­ ¡°At that time, I thought that you didn¡¯t have a partner¡­ ¡°After seeing Tan Jiayu¡­ I thought he was a good person, so I wanted to introduce him to you. ¡°Since I wasn¡¯t aware of the situation, can you not be angry? I¡¯m sorry. Let¡¯s still be good friends, okay?¡± After Wang Tong finished speaking, she put on a pitiful look. However, this made Li Xinyue even more annoyed. She was not aware? Did she not tell her that she already had someone she liked? Of course, the most important thing was that Wang Tong had mocked Lin Fan! This was something that Li Xinyue absolutely could not forgive! ¡°You and I have never been friends, let alone good friends!¡± Li Xinyue said coldly. After she finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to Wang Tong. ¡­ Initially, Tan Jiayou had been worried about Liu Yuhang and Lin Fan. However, not long after, he relaxed again. Yes, the Liu family did have a lot of power. Since Liu Yuhang was so respectful to Lin Fan, the other party was definitely not weak either. However, what did this have to do with him? At most, he would not do business with the Liu family and the Lin family in the future and earn less money. Therefore, Tan Jiayou found a clubhouse and spent the afternoon relaxing. At this moment, Tan Jiayou¡¯s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was his father, Tan Yongxing. ¡°Dad, why are you¡­¡± However, before he could finish speaking, Tan Yongxing¡¯s stern voice sounded from the phone. ¡°Tan Jiayou, what the hell did you do?!¡± This angry shout stunned Tan Jiayou. He stuttered, ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t do anything?! Then why did Liu Pharmaceuticals, Sun Pharmaceuticals, Song Herbal Tea, the Duan family, the Zhang family, and Wanfu Group all issue a ban on our company?! ¡°I¡¯m telling you, the goods in Waffle Corporation¡¯s hands can¡¯t be sold anymore. All the previous orders have been canceled¡­ Even Waffle Corporation is under strict scrutiny! ¡°Waffle Corporation could go bankrupt at any time! ¡°Tell me, what did you do?!¡± Tan Yongxing roared. Originally, Liu Yuhang wanted to punish Waffle Corporation alone. However, after he went home to investigate, he found that Waffle Corporation had a certain amount of power. In order to punish it as soon as possible, Liu Yuhang told the Future group chat about how Tan Jiaxing had offended Lin Fan. Therefore, Liu Pharmaceuticals, Sun Pharmaceuticals, Song Herbal Tea, the Duan family, the Zhang family, Wanfu Group, and many other forces launched an attack on Waffle Corporation. Any one of these forces had already far surpassed Waffle Corporation. The combined attack of the six forces could be said to be overwhelming. In just half a day, Waffle Corporation was already on the verge of collapse. Tan Jiayou said in a panic, ¡°I¡­ I¡­ I¡­¡± ¡°What the f*ck?! Quickly speak!¡± Tan Yongxing called out to his son. ¡°I just wanted to pursue the girlfriend of a man named Lin Fan today. I didn¡¯t know his identity at first, but then¡­ Liu Yuhang appeared. He called Lin Fan ¡®Brother Lin Fan¡­''¡± Tan Jiayou stuttered. ¡°Bastard!¡± Tan Yongxing shouted angrily. ¡°Immediately get your ass to the company!¡± ¡°Alright¡­ Alright,¡± Tan Jiayou said. Therefore, Tan Jiayou rushed to Waffle Corporation without stopping. When he arrived at the chairman¡¯s office, Tan Yongxing hung up the phone dejectedly. When he looked up and saw Tan Jiayou, he roared, ¡°Unfilial son!¡± He strode forward and kicked Tan Jiayou to the ground. ¡°The company that I¡¯ve worked so hard for half my life has been destroyed by you just like that!¡± As he spoke, Tan Yongxing punched and kicked Tan Jiayou again. ¡­ Lin Fan was completely oblivious to all of this. For the rest of the day, he was at Coiling Dragon Villa and Jiangbei University as usual. On this day, when Lin Fan walked into the office, it was abnormally noisy. ¡°Xia Bing, Xia Xue, you guys are amazing!¡± ¡°That¡¯s amazing!¡± ¡°Congratulations, congratulations!¡± Lin Fan smiled and asked, ¡°What is it? Tell me so I can be happy.¡± Liu Qianqian said, ¡°Xia Bing and Xia Xue have been selected for the International Computer Creation Award!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up as he said sincerely, ¡°Good job!¡± On the one hand, he was happy that Xia Bing and Xia Xue had won the award. On the other hand, he had never forgotten that his mission was to let his students win three international awards. With this, the mission was completed by one-third! After Xia Bing and Xia Xue heard Lin Fan¡¯s praise, their faces instantly turned red like ripe tomatoes. They became extremely happy and excited. Chapter 554 - 554 Punish; Awards (2) 554 Punish; Awards (2) In their hearts, no award could compare to Lin Fan¡¯s praise. At this moment, Hao Zhiwu shouted excitedly, ¡°Hahaha, I won the award! I won the award!¡± Everyone could not help but look in his direction. ¡°What award did you receive?¡± Liu Qianqian asked. ¡°The International Neuroscience Research Award!¡± Hao Zhiwu said excitedly. When Lin Fan heard that, his eyes lit up. ¡°Not bad!¡± It was another international award. The mission was two-thirds completed! After the news of three people winning international awards, the atmosphere in the office became even more intense. Xia Bing and Xia Xue wanted to work harder and get more awards. This way, Lin Fan would continue to praise them. Liu Qianqian, Nie Zhenjiang, and Jiang Chaoqun felt the pressure because they had not won an award yet. Therefore, they worked even harder. Originally, only Hao Zhiwu was the most relaxed. However, he was affected by the atmosphere in the office and could not help but enter a state of hard work. A day passed in the blink of an eye. When the school bell rang, Lin Fan stood up and was about to announce the end of today¡¯s class. At this moment, Jiang Chaoqun exclaimed excitedly, ¡°I won an award! He won the International Polymers Research Award!¡± ¡°Congratulations!¡± ¡°Our class is celebrating three wins today!¡± ¡°I suggest we celebrate tonight. How about that?¡± ¡­ The office was filled with praise. Liu Qianqian and Nie Zhenjiang congratulated Jiang Chaoqun as well, but the pressure in their hearts increased. They were the only ones who had not won an award. Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up even more. Three! His students had won three international awards in one fell swoop. Once they received the awards, he would be able to complete the mission! Lin Fan said happily, ¡°That¡¯s right! We have three happy occasions to celebrate! Tonight, I¡¯ll bring everyone out for some delicious food.¡± ¡°Hooray!¡± Everyone shouted in unison. Those who won an award were naturally happy. Those who did not win an award wanted to eat delicious food. They instantly threw the annoyance in their hearts to the side. Among them, Xia Bing and Xia Xue were the happiest. That was because they had the chance to eat with Lin Fan again! ¡­ Lin Fan only drove the Cullinan, and seven people could not fit inside. Fortunately, Hao Zhiwu had bought a second-hand Volkswagen not long ago, so they could take two cars. Under Lin Fan¡¯s lead, they soon arrived at Big Pufferfish. The last time Liu Yuhang brought Lin Fan here to eat, Lin Fan remembered the taste of the food. Yesterday, he had wanted to come over for another meal, and he had the chance to do so today. ¡°Pufferfish? Is it delicious?¡± Hao Zhiwu asked. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°You¡¯ll find out later.¡± The pufferfish meal was served relatively slowly. All the pufferfish were killed and processed on the spot. The process was very complicated. The chef absolutely could not be careless about the preparation. About half an hour later, a large pot of pufferfish soup was served. When the waiter opened the lid of the pot, the aroma instantly entered everyone¡¯s nose and mouth. Hao Zhiwu, Nie Zhenjiang, and the others could not help but swallow their saliva. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Why are you still staring? Hurry up and eat it.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± everyone responded. Everyone picked up some pufferfish meat and put it in their mouths. ¡°It¡¯s so delicious!¡± Hao Zhiwu praised sincerely. ¡°I finally know what melt-in-the-mouth means!¡± Everyone was very happy during the meal. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, several days passed. On this day, Lin Fan drove the Cullinan back to Qing City and brought his parents to Jiangbei. Then, he drove Lin Xiaoyao, Lin Tao, and Dai Weixue to Jiangbei International Airport. Lin Tao and Dai Weixue had specially changed into brand new white clothes, appearing very solemn. They were going overseas with Lin Fan to attend the Nobel Prize award ceremony. Compared to Lin Tao and Dai Weixue¡¯s solemnity and nervousness, Lin Xiaoyao was busy looking around, curious about everything. This was her first time taking a plane, and it was her first time at the airport. At this moment, three flight attendants from Xia Airlines walked over. Under the warm welcome of the stewardess, Lin Fan, Lin Xiaoyao, Lin Tao, and Dai Weixue arrived in front of the luxurious plane. ¡°Mr. Lin and family, welcome aboard Xia Airlines!¡± Two rows of long-legged air stewardesses stood on both sides of the red carpet in front of the luxury plane and shouted in unison. Lin Fan was already used to such scenes, so he was not surprised. Lin Tao and Dai Weixue were at a loss. Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s face was filled with excitement and curiosity. After entering the luxurious private jet, Lin Xiaoyao was even more excited when the abalone, lobster, sea cucumber, bird¡¯s nest, Lafite, and other delicacies and wines were served. ¡°Delicious! ¡°This lobster is so big! ¡°Dad, Mom, try this beef¡­ ¡°Brother, there¡¯s so much delicious food on the plane! No wonder everyone likes going on flights.¡± ¡­ Lin Xiaoyao would let out excited cries from time to time, causing the empty plane to become a little more lively. About ten hours later, the luxury plane finally stopped in Potholm, Swede. At this moment, three Audis had already stopped here. A middle-aged man wearing glasses and a white shirt, who looked full of wisdom, strode forward when he saw the plane landing. ¡°Professor Lin, it must¡¯ve been a tiring journey. Welcome to Swede. I am Liu Zihao, an official in Swede.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°It wasn¡¯t tiring. We were resting on the plane. Mr. Liu, you came to pick us up early in the morning. It¡¯s been hard on you.¡± Lin Fan was not being modest or polite when he said this. His words came from the bottom of his heart. That was because the private luxury plane was like a moving castle that could give him the best enjoyment. How could he be tired? On the other hand, Liu Zihao¡¯s forehead was still dripping with sweat. Clearly, he had been waiting quite some time. This was normal. After all, Lin Fan came here on a private plane. He could only estimate the time and could not be sure. This meant that the pick-up person had to arrive early. ¡°Mr. Lin, you¡¯re too kind,¡± said Liu Zihao. He first shook hands with Lin Fan, then shook hands with Lin Tao, Dai Weixue, and Lin Xiaoyao. ¡°Why don¡¯t we get in the car first?¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan said. The doors of this Audi were very thick. Whether it was the softness of the seats or the soundproofing effect, they were far better than an ordinary Audi. Obviously, it had been specially modified. ¡°Before I came, I heard that you were very young,¡± Liu Zihao said. ¡°I was already mentally prepared, but I was still shocked when I saw you. ¡°It¡¯s really hard to imagine that you¡¯ve achieved so much at such a young age! ¡°The Nobel Prize is the most dazzling award in the academic world! ¡°In history, no one has ever won multiple Nobel Prizes at the same time, but you won four! Professor Lin, you¡¯re the pride of Hua Nation!¡± Liu Zihao¡¯s voice was very sincere, without any intention of flattery. When he reached the end of his sentence, there was an unconcealable excitement in his tone. He had been stationed in Swede for several years, and he had always been looking forward to the day when someone from Hua Nation would win the Nobel Prize. Now, it had finally become reality! Moreover, it was a reality that far exceeded his expectations! Even Lin Fan could not help but feel embarrassed when he was praised in front of his parents and sister. He touched his nose and said, ¡°Actually, this is nothing.¡± It was nothing? Even winning one Nobel Prize was already a very impressive feat. Lin Fan had won four of them, but he said that it was nothing. ¡°Professor Lin, you¡¯re too modest,¡± Liu Zihao said. Chapter 555 - 555 Arrival; Visit 555 Arrival; Visit Lin Xiaoyao, Lin Tao, and Dai Weixue listened to Liu Zihao¡¯s praise of Lin Fan. Their hearts were filled with joy and pride. Their family was the pride of Hua Nation! At this moment, Liu Zihao said, ¡°Professor Lin, there¡¯s something else¡­ I wonder if I can negotiate with you?¡± Lin Fan asked, ¡°What is it?¡± Lin Zihao said, ¡°The TV station has sent a group of reporters. They want to broadcast tomorrow¡¯s Nobel Prize ceremony live. They know that you don¡¯t like to be exposed, so they promised not to record you. ¡°So, I came to ask for your opinion.¡± Generally speaking, this kind of live broadcast only needed the approval of the Nobel Prize organizers. Why would they need the consent of the winner? Furthermore, they would not film Lin Fan. However, Liu Zihao received a notice that he had to ask Lin Fan. The media had already been informed that Lin Fan did not like to show his face or be exposed. How glorious was it to win four Nobel Prizes at the same time? It could definitely be called a historic moment! Logically speaking, it had to be recorded and broadcasted live¡­ but because of Lin Fan¡¯s preferences, the rules changed. It had to be said that the TV station had shown Lin Fan the greatest respect. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as they don¡¯t film me.¡± Just as the reporters thought, he really did not like exposure. However, it was not a problem for them to avoid shooting his face. In addition, the reporters¡¯ good attitude also made Lin Fan feel satisfied. When Lin Zihao heard this, a look of joy appeared on his face. A moment later, the three Audis stopped at the Royal Hotel. The Royal Hotel today was much livelier than usual today. There were many cameras at the entrance, and the flashes were constantly going off at the many men and women in suits and leather shoes entering and leaving the hotel. When the reporters saw Liu Zihao and Lin Fan, they could not wait to focus their cameras on them. Dense flashes of light rained down on them. ¡°Are you Professor Lin Fan?¡± ¡°How do you feel about winning four Nobel Prizes?¡± ¡°Which direction will you research in the future?¡± ¡°How do you usually study?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Countless questions flooded in. It caused the entrance of the Royal Hotel to become noisy. Even though Lin Fan had never been exposed in any media before, the reporters recognized Liu Zihao. Moreover, they knew that Liu Zihao would be picking Lin Fan up today. Thus, they could easily determine Lin Fan¡¯s identity. Lin Fan ignored all of these questions. Firstly, he did not like to be interviewed. It was troublesome. Secondly, he never liked to answer English questions. These reporters all asked questions in English. After some time, Liu Zihao finally led Lin Fan, Lin Xiaoyao, and the others through the door and toward the luxurious suite. The reporters were disappointed. However, very soon, they were filled with excitement again. This was because they had obtained photos of the most mysterious genius, Lin Fan! However, when they opened the memory card, they realized that all the photos and videos of Lin Fan had disappeared. Did they forget to store them? The reporters could not help but feel regretful. How would they know that everything was deleted by the super smart watch? ¡­ After Liu Zihao sent Lin Fan, Lin Xiaoyao, and the others into the luxurious suite, he did not stay there for long. He knew that Lin Fan had just taken a ten-hour flight and needed to rest. After Liu Zihao left, Lin Xiaoyao looked at the wide, bright floor-to-ceiling window and the blue sea in the distance. She could not help but shout excitedly. ¡°Wow! Brother, this hotel is amazing!¡± It was so beautiful! ¡°Brother, quickly come and take a few photos for me.¡± Lin Fan smiled and said. ¡°Alright.¡± Soon, Lin Xiaoyao stood up and said, ¡°Brother, what kind of photos did you take for me? Are my legs that short? ¡°Also, I blinked. Why didn¡¯t you say anything?¡± Lin Fan rubbed his nose helplessly. It was so difficult to be an elder brother. After a while, the crisp doorbell rang outside. ¡°Respected Professor Lin, hello. I hope I didn¡¯t disturb your rest.¡± At the door, a blonde blue-eyed middle-aged man spoke in fluent Chinese. Lin Fan said, ¡°Hello, may I know who you are?¡± ¡°I¡¯m Desmartin, the chairman of Des Energy.¡± The middle-aged man continued, ¡°Do I have the chance to invite you to the cafe on the third floor for a cup of coffee?¡± The chairman of Des Energy? If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be shocked when they heard this name. Even if this ¡®ordinary person¡¯ was a Nobel Prize winner! This was because Des Energy was the number one giant in the oil and chemical industry! Des Energy was not listed, and its exact financial report was a secret. However, even Apple, Google, and other companies were nothing in front of it. One could imagine just how terrifying its power was. Lin Fan raised his eyes and said, ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t like coffee. If you have something to say, you can just say it here.¡± Desmartin was slightly stunned. He had probably never invited anyone for coffee before only to get rejected. After a while, he said, ¡°Professor Lin, from the earthquake prediction device, the human islet recovery drug, the carbon-based photolithographic machine, the super batteries, and other high-tech products that you invented¡­ I know that you¡¯re a great scientist who protects the environment and loves peace!¡± Lin Fan frowned and asked, ¡°So, why are you looking for me?¡± Desmartin seemed to sense that Lin Fan was getting impatient. Therefore, he went straight to the point. ¡°We, Desi Energy, have the most chemical and energy materials in the world. We can expand and promote super batteries in the smoothest and fastest way. We can allow the world to use and embrace clean energy faster and make the earth¡¯s environment better as soon as possible¡­ ¡°I wonder if you have any plans to sell the battery patent? We, Des Energy, are willing to spend 500 billion USD to buy the patent.¡± First, he said that it was for the sake of mankind and the environment. Then, he offered a sky-high price of 500 billion USD. Great righteousness and great benefits! It had to be said that Desmartin had good negotiation skills. If it were an ordinary person, they might really be tempted. However, Lin Fan just said calmly, ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t.¡± After saying that, he returned to his room and closed the door. Sell? Firstly, Lin Fan had no intention of selling the patent. He was not short of money. So what if he had an extra 500 billion USD? It would just add a little more to his account. Secondly, even if he were to sell it, he would definitely not sell it overseas. As for the nonsense about the environment and the earth, Lin Fan threw it to the back of his mind. If he loved the environment and the earth so much, would it not be better to shut down all the factories of Des Energy immediately? Chapter 556 - 556 Makeup; Imperfect Romance! 556 Makeup; Imperfect Romance! Desmartin¡¯s visit was only the beginning. Then, the presidents of Tesla, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Asiacom also knocked on Lin Fan¡¯s door and talked about cooperation. Some were like Desmartin, proposing to acquire the patent, while some invited Lin Fan to join their organization. A few invited Lin Fan to take up a position¡­ At the start, Lin Fan rejected and responded to them one by one. However, as the number of people increased, Lin Fan felt that it was too troublesome. Therefore, he hung a ¡®do not disturb¡¯ sign at the door. The entire world finally returned to silence. Today, Lin Fan stayed in the luxurious suite and chatted with his parents and sister. He tasted the dishes that the attendant served and looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window. He was extremely satisfied. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. Of course, when Lin Fan opened the door, he found Liu Zihao waiting for him at the door. Lin Fan said, ¡°I accidentally slept a little longer. You must have waited long.¡± Liu Zihao waved his hand. ¡°Professor Lin, you must be tired from the long journey yesterday. You should have a good rest. Besides, I¡¯ve only been here for a while. ¡°Should I ask the attendant to bring breakfast up, or should we go down together?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already asked the waiter to bring breakfast,¡± Lin Fan said.¡± He knew that if he went downstairs, he would be pestered by some people. It was too troublesome. Liu Zihao nodded. ¡°That¡¯s good. Let¡¯s get the makeup artist to help you confirm your style first.¡± ¡°I still need to get makeup done?¡± Lin Fan was stunned. Liu Zihao said, ¡°After all, it¡¯s an international awards ceremony. Make-up can make one look more energetic and handsome.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°But I¡¯m already handsome enough.¡± Lin Xiaoyao, who was in the luxurious suite, heard the voices and walked over. She smiled and said, ¡°Brother, who would complain about being more handsome?¡± ¡°Why does it feel like you just want to see me with makeup on?¡± Lin Fan asked. The smile on Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s face widened. Obviously, this was the truth. At this moment, Dai Weixue and Lin Tao also walked out. ¡°Lil Fan, just put on makeup. You might even be on TV later,¡± Lin Tao said. ¡°Yeah,¡± Dai Weixue said. Lin Fan really wanted to say that even if he appeared on TV, his front profile would not be shot. However, since his parents had spoken, he naturally had to listen. Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s put on makeup, then.¡± After Liu Zihao heard Lin Fan agree, his face lit up. He said to the beautiful woman beside him, ¡°Sorry to trouble you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright,¡± the beautiful makeup artist said. The beautiful makeup artist and Lin Fan had a simple discussion about makeup. At this moment, the attendant pushed the dining cart over. ¡°Professor Lin, please have your breakfast first,¡± Liu Zihao said. ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied. Nuts, egg rolls, bread, beef slices, chicken cubes, egg tarts, crab rolls¡­ There were many types, but the amount was very small. This made Lin Xiaoyao, who liked to taste fresh food, extremely satisfied. After eating his fill, Lin Fan went to the dressing table. It had to be said that the beautiful makeup artist was quite capable. Light red lips, refreshing hairstyle, and a brand new suit¡­ Lin Fan, who was already handsome, seemed to have turned into the perfect male lead in a youth romance drama. Even Lin Xiaoyao, who had been with him all day long, could not help but open her mouth wide and praise, ¡°Brother! You¡¯re so handsome!¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°When am I not handsome?¡± Lin Xiaoyao did not care much. She quickly took out her phone and gestured with her hands. ¡°Brother, let¡¯s take a group photo! Let¡¯s smile together!¡± In the photo, Lin Fan¡¯s face was calm while Lin Xiaoyao was smiling brightly. Lin Xiaoyao pouted. ¡°One more!¡± Lin Fan replied with a smile. Lin Xiaoyao made a peace sign again. Seeing the photo¡­ Lin Xiaoyao nodded in satisfaction. How would she know that these were the only two photos of Lin Fan in the world in the past two years? ¡°Professor Lin, it¡¯s almost time. Why don¡¯t we go over first?¡± Liu Zihao asked. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Dad, Mom, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Alright, alright,¡± Lin Tao and Dai Weixue responded. At this moment, the three Audis from yesterday were already waiting in the parking lot. ¡­ About ten minutes later¡­ The ancient and towering buildings appeared before his eyes. It was the Golden Hall! The Golden Hall was an ancient building in Swede. It was only open during the Nobel Prize ceremony. At this moment, in front of the Golden Hall Square, there were many foreigners people holding lanterns, singing, or holding banners. The banners read ¡®Congratulations to Professor Lin Fan for winning four Nobel Prizes¡­¡¯ It was extremely lively, just like the Spring Festival. Lin Fan, Lin Xiaoyao, Lin Tao, Dai Weixue, and the rest all looked over curiously. If it was in Hua Nation, it would be fine. However, this was overseas. This surprised everyone. Liu Zihao said, ¡°The Hua Nation students in Swede know that Professor Lin has won four Nobel Prizes. So, they came from all over to celebrate. It seems that they started dancing and beating drums here two days ago.¡± When Lin Fan and the rest heard this, their hearts warmed up for some reason. Even though they were far away from home, they could still feel the touch and warmth brought by the same bloodline. Finally, the Audis slowly stopped at the entrance of the Golden Hall. After showing their identification and going through the relevant security checks, Lin Fan and the rest finally walked in. The exterior of the Golden Hall was very ancient, and the interior was also filled with a sense of history. There were many guests in the Golden Hall today. As far as the eye could see, it was filled densely. Greetings and laughter rang out¡­ The entire Golden Hall became extremely noisy. Due to the long construction time, the designer at that time probably did not expect this building to be the host of a world-renowned top-class event. As a result, the area of the Golden Hall was not too big, making the current banquet hall seem a little crowded. ¡°So many people¡­¡± Lin Xiaoyao could not help but say. ¡°But this place has red walls. Why is it called Golden Hall?¡± Liu Zihao, who was beside her, said, ¡°Someone said that the designer originally planned to design it in gold. However, it seems that due to financial reasons, the project was suspended. So, it looks like this now.¡± Lin Xiaoyao blinked her big eyes and said in disbelief, ¡°So, this is an unfinished building?¡± Liu Zihao was speechless. Unfinished building? The Nobel Prize award ceremony was held in an unfinished building? If others heard this, they would probably be speechless. Liu Zihao coughed dryly and said, ¡°Perhaps we can call it¡­ an imperfect romance.¡± Chapter 557 - 557 The Award Ceremony Begins; I Will Endure It! 557 The Award Ceremony Begins; I Will Endure It! Imperfect romance? Lin Xiaoyao pursed her lips and said, ¡°A cultured person really knows how to lie to himself.¡± Liu Zihao could not help but let out another dry cough. He pretended as if he had not heard Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s words. He did not say anything else. ¡­ When Lin Fan, Lin Xiaoyao, Liu Zihao, and the others walked into the Golden Hall, the host Xiao Bing was standing in front of the camera with a microphone. She smiled and said, ¡°Hello to the audience in front of the TV. I¡¯m the host, Xiao Bing. ¡°Today, I¡¯m honored to be here at the Nobel Prize award ceremony in Swede.¡± ¡°Today, Professor Lin Fan will receive the Nobel Prize in chemistry, medicine, physics, and the Nobel Peace Prize. ¡°I believe that most of the viewers have heard of Professor Lin Fan¡¯s name. However, you may not know much about him. ¡°Let me give you a simple introduction to Professor Lin Fan¡¯s contributions. ¡°Mathematics is the foundation of all scientific research! Professor Lin Fan solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, Hail¡¯s Conjecture, Hodge¡¯s Conjecture, Riemann¡¯s Hypothesis, and many other difficult problems that had plagued the world for hundreds of years. He had even won the Fields Medal! ¡°Physics contains the secrets of the world! Professor Lin Fan developed an earthquake prediction device that allows us to predict geological changes just like how we predict the weather. This greatly reduces the damage that nature does to us! ¡°Chemistry is the magical transformation of everything. Professor Lin Fan invented super batteries and other high-tech products, allowing us to use cleaner and more efficient energy. ¡°Medicine contains the password of the human body! Professor Lin Fan developed the human islet recovery drug, allowing hundreds of millions of diabetes patients to see the dawn of health!¡± Xiao Bing¡¯s voice rose and fell in a high pitch¡­ She was extremely excited, and even her pretty face turned red. In fact¡­ Xiao Bing was not the only one who was excited. The audience sitting in front of the screen was equally excited. Today, all the major video websites were broadcasting the live broadcast. As the audience listened to Xiao Bing¡¯s words and watched the lively scene, their moods surged. Countless bullet comments poured down like rain. Prodigal Son: [Xiao Bing, I love you!] Zhong Bei: [I¡¯m too excited! I can¡¯t believe Professor Lin Fan won four Nobel Prizes! Also, Xiao Bing is mine!] Stone: [Xiao Bing¡¯s introduction is really awesome.] Useless Scholar: [I heard that the parents of the winners can also go to the Nobel Prize award ceremony. From now on, I have to nurture my child well.] Love You Forever: [It¡¯s so lively.] Person in the Mirror: [Where¡¯s Professor Lin Fan? I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve ever seen his photos or videos on the Internet. I wonder if I¡¯ll have the chance today.] Dejected: [I haven¡¯t seen his face either.] Xinghe: [We¡¯ll definitely be able to see him today.] ¡­ At this time, Xiao Bing suddenly said, ¡°That¡¯s Mr. Liu Zihao. The young man beside him¡­ It¡¯s Professor Lin Fan!¡± Then, the camera locked onto Lin Fan¡¯s back. The bullet comments in the live broadcast room instantly filled the entire screen. Heart Like Still Water: [Is this Professor Lin Fan? Although it¡¯s just his back view, he looks so handsome!] NEO: [Didn¡¯t they say that scientists have receding hairlines? But Professor Lin Fan¡¯s hair is so thick!] Fate: [I love you!] Snow Flower: [I¡¯m begging you to show Professor Lin Fan¡¯s face!] One, Two, Three: [He¡¯s so handsome!] ¡­ Lin Fan was completely oblivious to all of this. In fact, there were many other reporters at the scene. They all turned on their cameras to record the scene¡­ They kept sweeping the camera across everyone. All of these cameras, without exception, would have their signals cut off when they landed on Lin Fan. At this moment, a burst of light music sounded in the huge Golden Hall. Then, an old man wearing glasses, who looked extremely gentlemanly and intelligent, slowly walked onto the stage. He cleared his throat and spoke in English, ¡°Thank you very much for coming all the way to the Golden Hall to attend this year¡¯s Nobel Prize award ceremony. I¡¯m Alders, and I¡¯m very honored to be the host of this year¡¯s Nobel Prize.¡± The venue immediately erupted into a round of applause. Many people might not know Alders. However, most of the people who participated in the Nobel Prize were famous scholars or people of high status. They knew that Alders was a great scholar and a member of the royal family of Switzerland. It could be said that he was a person with both knowledge and status. With him as the host, it showed the importance he attached to this year¡¯s Nobel Prize. After a while, Alders said, ¡°Scientific research and literature are long and boring. It¡¯s hard to see results in a short period of time. ¡°Our Mr. Nobel is one of such researchers. He knows these hardships very well. ¡°Therefore, before he died, he selflessly kept all his wealth. ¡°He wanted to let all researchers have the opportunity to research, create, and learn without having to worry about food! ¡°Today, we¡¯ll follow Mr. Nobel¡¯s wishes and award medals to scientific researchers and writers who have made great contributions to physics, chemistry, medicine, peace, literature, and so on!¡± The venue once again erupted into extremely enthusiastic applause. Everyone¡¯s hearts started to beat faster. Lin Xiaoyao, who was standing beside Lin Fan, whispered, ¡°Brother, I¡¯m suddenly so nervous. What should I do? I feel like peeing.¡± Lin Fan rolled his eyes and said, ¡°It¡¯s not like you¡¯re going to receive an award. What are you nervous about? It should be because you drank too much black tea in the morning. The bathroom seems to be in that direction. Go.¡± Lin Xiaoyao shook her head and said, ¡°That won¡¯t do. The award ceremony is about to start! I¡¯ll endure it!¡± Lin Fan smiled and shook his head. ¡­ In front of the camera, Xiao Bing said excitedly, ¡°Everyone, according to the procedure, it should be the official award ceremony next. Please don¡¯t miss it.¡± As she spoke, her entire pretty face became even redder. Rheia: [Finally, it¡¯s time for the awards!] Black and White: [Hurry up, Professor Lin, come on stage!] Invisible: [I¡¯m so excited.] Free as the Wind: [Professor Lin is awesome!] ¡­ After the applause ended, Alders took a deep breath. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, he slowly reached out and flipped open the thick cover page in front of him. ¡°The winner of this year¡¯s Nobel Prize in Physics is¡­¡± Chapter 558 - 558 Congratulations, Professor Lin; Too Miserly! 558 Congratulations, Professor Lin; Too Miserly! Amidst the audience¡¯s anticipation, Alders finally spoke. ¡°The person who won this year¡¯s Nobel Prize in physics is¡­ Hua Nation¡¯s Lin Fan!¡± Immediately, thunderous applause rang out. After a long time, the applause gradually stopped. Usually, after the winner was announced, the winner would go on stage. winners would be announced. This time, however¡­ ¡°The winner of this year¡¯s Nobel Prize in chemistry is¡­ Hua Nation¡¯s Lin Fan!¡± Another round of applause resounded throughout the entire Golden Hall. ¡°The winner of this year¡¯s Nobel Prize in medicine is¡­ Hua Nation¡¯s Lin Fan! ¡°The winner of this year¡¯s Nobel Peace Prize is¡­ Hua Nation¡¯s Lin Fan!¡± Alders¡¯ voice was getting louder and louder. The applause from the audience also became more and more enthusiastic. Xiao Bing, who was in front of the camera, seemed to be infected by the atmosphere and said excitedly, ¡°Hello to the audience in front of the TV! As everyone can see, Professor Lin Fan has won four Nobel Prizes. Let us congratulate him with our sincerest blessings!¡± Time is Merciless: [Congratulations, Professor Lin Fan.] Low Profile: [Congratulations Professor Lin Fan.] Forever: [Congratulations, Professor Lin Fan.] Demon Lord: [Congratulations, Professor Lin Fan.] Chasing Her in the Wind: [Congratulations to Professor Lin Fan.] ¡­ The dense blessings flooded the entire live-stream like a tidal wave. ¡­ After a long time, the applause finally stopped. ¡°Professor Lin Fan from Hua Nation is here to receive the award! ¡°Let¡¯s welcome the king of Swede, King Kasf, to the stage to present the award!¡± The applause at the venue instantly reached its climax. The mysterious Professor Lin Fan was finally going up on stage! The king was personally presenting the award! Finally, under everyone¡¯s anticipation and in front of all the cameras¡­ Lin Fan and the luxuriously dressed King Kasf slowly walked onto the stage. At this moment, the red Golden Hall was directly illuminated by the flashing lights. King Kasf shook hands with Lin Fan and then picked up the Nobel Prizes beside him. ¡°Congratulations.¡± Lin Fan was given the four medals one by one, and a smile appeared on his face. He was not happy because he won the Nobel Prize. It was because a crisp notification sounded out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! Mission completed¡ªobtain five international awards. Reward: Five golden packets.] Lin Fan had received the mission long ago, but he had not been able to complete it. Now, it was finally over. ¡­ Xiao Bing, who was in front of the camera, shouted excitedly, ¡°King Kasf personally awarded Professor Lin Fan the Nobel Prize in physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace! Please remember this historic moment!¡± In the live broadcast room. Qingfeng: [Cameraman, quickly focus the camera on Professor Lin Fan!] Zhang Wenbai: [I¡¯m so anxious. I want to see Professor Lin Fan¡¯s face. I want to see Professor Lin Fan win the Nobel Prize.] Waiter: [Is this cameraman a newcomer?] Bin Bin: [Complaint! I have a complaint! This is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a trashy cameraman.] Shadowless: [Quickly! I want to see Professor Lin Fan.] 123 Wood: [The cameraman¡¯s salary is at stake!] ¡­ Compared to the anxiety in Hua Nation¡¯s live broadcast rooms, the live broadcast rooms of other countries were even more filled with curses. CS: [What the f*ck! What¡¯s wrong with the signal?] AAAA: [It¡¯s time for the award ceremony! I want to watch the award ceremony!] JACK: [FUCK! I told you, those people from the television station are a bunch of idiots who are just waiting to die. Look at what they¡¯ve done! There¡¯s no signal during the award ceremony?] MMM: [Hurry up and fix it!] J: [I¡¯m gonna file a complaint!] Mark: [Don¡¯t tell me that the camera just happened to malfunction.] ¡­ Lin Fan had no idea what was happening on the internet. After he accepted the medals, he returned to his seat. The cameras of the major television stations gradually shifted away from Lin Fan. It was also at this moment that the signal was reconnected. KKKK: [WHAT THE FUCK?! Professor Lin Fan¡¯s segment has ended!] Make: [I¡¯ve been watching the live-stream for a few hours to see Professor Lin Fan. Now¡­ there¡¯s nothing else?] Houston: [Hurry up and fire all these useless reporters.] Feng: [I¡¯ve never seen such rubbish equipment.] ¡­ On the stage, Alders said loudly, ¡°The winner of this year¡¯s Nobel Prize in literature is¡­ Japes¡¯ Yamamoto Chuan! ¡°The winner of this year¡¯s Nobel Prize in economics is¡­ Kathleen from Nashland!¡± Two rounds of applause rang out, but these two rounds were obviously much weaker than the previous rounds. ¡°Congratulations, Nobel Prize laureates!¡± Alders said. ¡°Now, let¡¯s enjoy some champagne and delicious food!¡± Hundreds of champagne bottles were opened at the same time, and the liquid gushed out, making the entire Golden Hall seem to be filled with a sweet scent. Under the guidance of the staff, Lin Fan came to the innermost table and sat down. The dining table was not luxurious. In fact, it could be said to be very simple. However, all the people sitting at the same table had extraordinary identities and were the main characters of this award ceremony. There were the host, Alders, King Kasf, Yamamoto Chuan, who won the Nobel Prize in literature, and Kathleen, who won the Nobel Prize in economics. Soon, all kinds of delicacies were served. ¡­ On the other hand, Lin Xiaoyao, Lin Tao, Dai Weixue, and Liu Zihao also came to the hall to sit down under the guidance of the staff. When the food was served, Lin Xiaoyao did not hesitate and stuffed it into her mouth. When the food in front of her was finished, Lin Xiaoyao said, ¡°The speed is so slow.¡± Liu Zihao, who was next to her, said, ¡°All the dishes have been served.¡± ¡°That¡¯s it?¡± Lin Xiaoyao widened her eyes. ¡°A small piece of beef, a small snack, and a soup¡­ That¡¯s it? Aren¡¯t they too stingy? I¡¯m not full yet.¡± Liu Zihao¡¯s mouth twitched. Stingy? This was probably the first time someone had said that the Nobel Prize banquet was stingy. He really wanted to say that the people who came here to eat would not care about what they ate or whether they were full. More importantly, they would take the opportunity to chat with those at the same table as them. This was because anyone who could eat here had a powerful background. If they were to exchange a few words with the other party, they might receive unimaginable help in the future. Could she not see that there were so many people talking and chatting with each other? Chapter 559 - 559 Discussion; Curses 559 Discussion; Curses The banquet lasted until 9 PM before it slowly came to an end. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m hungry,¡± Lin Xiaoyao said. ¡°I guessed it.¡± Lin Fan smiled and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ve already gotten someone to prepare supper.¡± ¡°Brother, you¡¯re amazing!¡± Lin Xiaoyao said happily and hugged Lin Fan¡¯s arm. ¡­ After a while, they arrived at a restaurant that was decorated very grandly. Just as Lin Fan had said, he had already gotten someone to prepare supper. In just two minutes, hot skewers, roasted meat, and casserole were served. ¡°Delicious!¡± It was so delicious! Lin Xiaoyao could not help but praise. Dai Weixue said, ¡°Eat slowly. Don¡¯t burn yourself.¡± ¡­ Lin Fan spent the next two days with his parents and sister in Potholm. Then, he took a luxurious private jet back to Hua Nation. In the spacious Coiling Dragon Villa, Lin Fan immediately placed his attention on the golden packets. He muttered, ¡°Let¡¯s see what I can get.¡± ¡°Open! [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 500,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a double shares coupon.] [Ding! [Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained ten cubic meters of inner space.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 900,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 100,000 yuan.] Lin Fan did not care about the 1.6 million yuan at all. He immediately focused his attention on the ten cubic meters of inner space. Inner space: [A special space that can instantly store and retrieve objects. It can be used at any time and is extremely fast, adding to its charm.] Instantly, a white space appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. It was extremely mystical. He had a very strange feeling that this space was like his hands and feet, and he could use it easily. Then, Lin Fan turned his gaze to the cup of water beside him. In the next moment¡­ The cup appeared in the white space. With another thought, the cup appeared on the table again. Seeing this¡­ Even Lin Fan could not help but reveal a smile that he could not hide. He grinned and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t waste so much time going to Swede to receive the Nobel Prize.¡± If other scholars heard this, who knew what kind of expression they would have? Wasting time to get the Nobel Prize? In this world, everyone wanted a chance to receive the Nobel Prize. After a while, Lin Fan finally turned his attention back to the double shares coupon. ¡°Let¡¯s go with the Alphabet.¡± [Ding! The coupon was successfully used. You now own a total of 20% of Alphabet Group¡¯s shares.] Then, Lin Fan sat on the sofa and continued to play with his phone leisurely. ¡­ He was relaxed, but some people were extremely nervous. Alphabet Group¡¯s headquarters. Zhang Daming was working hard in his office. At this moment, an email suddenly popped up in the lower right corner of the computer. In the next moment¡­ Zhang Daming¡¯s pupils constricted, and his face was filled with anxiety. ¡°Mr. Lin bought another 10% of the shares, and now he owns 20% of Alphabet! ¡°What should we do?¡± Alphabet Group was founded by Zhang Daming and was his lifeblood. Now, a large number of shares were being bought by another person. How could he not be anxious? Zhang Daming walked around the office a few times. ¡°Could it be that Mr. Lin is still not satisfied with what happened last time? Yes, that must be it!¡± Thinking of this, Zhang Daming quickly made a call. ¡°Send out the mission. Anyone who criticizes the streamer, Hai Yan, will get double the traffic!¡± As a result, after a few weeks, many videos criticizing and mocking Hai Yan appeared on Douyin again. Originally, Li Haiyan thought that the matter had stopped. In the end, as soon as she left the house, she was pointed at by countless people. This made Li Haiyan want to go for plastic surgery. ¡­ On the other hand, the video about the Nobel Prize award ceremony was still being discussed. Moving Brick: [I suddenly realized that it¡¯s good enough we were shown a video of Lin Fan¡¯s back. I went to the internet and searched. When Lin Fan was awarded the Nobel Prize, all the cameras of TV stations from other countries malfunctioned. There are no videos or photos of Lin Fan.] Mo Wen: [Yeah, the reporters are being cursed out by the entire internet.] Ordinary Person: [What¡¯s going on with the current situation? When Lin Fan held his report, he wasn¡¯t caught by the cameras either. Could it be that the cameras were broken? Is it always so coincidental?] Long Long: [This¡­ How did Lin Fan do it?] Free Dream: [Does Lin Fan know magic?] Hong: [Magic? With that kind of brain, would he still need to use magic? I think it should be some kind of high-tech product, such as some kind of special lens sensor?] Sleepless: [I¡¯m getting more and more curious about what Lin Fan looks like.] Skyscraper: [I heard from a teacher at Jiangbei University that Mr. Lin Fan is very handsome. He¡¯s definitely a Prince Charming!] 321 Go: [Is there a need to say that? Just by looking at his back, one can tell that he¡¯s a handsome man who¡¯s 1.8 meters tall!] Ten Thousand Years With a Glance: [Back view? Jiangbei University? Speaking of this¡­ Did you guys notice that his back view seems a little familiar?] Period: [Now that you mention it, it does look a little familiar.] Best Player: [F*ck! I realized that the guy who was accused of theft at Jiangbei University looks very similar to Lin Fan!] Who: [Their backs are exactly the same!] ¡­ When someone mentioned this matter, it immediately attracted the attention of many people. Some experts even compared the two backs and found that their height, body shape, and heads were all exactly the same. Instantly, everyone understood that the man who was slandered back then was Lin Fan! When everyone came to this conclusion, the discussions on the internet became even more heated. East Lake: [F*ck! It¡¯s really the same guy!] Paper Masked Man: So Tang Yuan was slandering Lin Fan?] Head of Department: [I actually said that it was a little too serious for the university to give him a major demerit, place him on probation, and even send him to the police to be arrested and detained. Now, it seems his punishment is too light!] Immortal: [Lin Fan is our pride. Why would he be a thief? Pah!] Simple: [I say that Tang Yuan should be severely punished!] If It Was at That Time: [I strongly recommend that Tang Yuan be severely punished!] Clear Water: [I strongly recommend that Tang Yuan be severely punished!] ¡­ It had been several days since the slander. The internet had no memory. Generally speaking, as long as the matter was over, it would completely be forgotten. Today, however¡­ Tang Yuan¡¯s name reappeared on the list of trending searches. He received even more intense criticism than before. Chapter 560 - 560 Long Way to Go! 560 Long Way to Go! Lin Fan did not care about the discussions on the internet. At this moment, a crisp bell rang outside the door. When Lin Fan heard that, he slowly stood up and opened the door. He saw¡­ The director of the Institute of Science, Feng Zhixiang, was standing at the door with a smile on his face. He cupped his hands and said, ¡°Professor Lin, congratulations on winning the Nobel Prize in physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. You¡¯ve made history in one fell swoop. Congratulations!¡± Perhaps Lin Fan had heard too many similar congratulations. Therefore, Lin Fan appeared very calm and said, ¡°Thank you.¡± Then, he said, ¡°Come in and sit for a while.¡± The smile on Feng Zhixiang¡¯s face widened. ¡°Haha, thanks.¡± At this moment, the coffee table was filled with the rich fragrance of Spirit Tea. It was elegant and refreshing. Feng Zhixiang inhaled lightly, and his entire body seemed to relax a lot. Even though Feng Zhixiang had drunk a lot of good tea, at this moment, he could not help but feel his throat go dry. He swallowed his saliva. Lin Fan said, ¡°If you¡¯re thirsty, there¡¯s a disposable cup in the drawer. You can pour it yourself.¡± Feng Zhixiang did not stand on ceremony and said, ¡°Alright.¡± As he spoke, he could not wait to pour himself a cup of Spirit Tea. After drinking the tea, he instantly felt relaxed and carefree to the extreme. He felt like he had been trapped in the desert but suddenly drank a glass of ice water. Therefore, Feng Zhixiang could not help but pour himself another cup of Spirit Tea. After drinking two cups of Spirit Tea, Feng Zhixiang praised sincerely, ¡°Good tea!¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°So, why are you here today?¡± Feng Zhixiang rubbed his hands and said, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s like this. The controllable nuclear fusion factory should be completed today. The controllable nuclear fusion technology you mentioned last time¡­¡± As he spoke, his face was full of anticipation. When Lin Fan heard Feng Zhixiang¡¯s words, his eyes lit up. He asked in a surprised tone, ¡°Can it be completed today?¡± This was related to his mission. Lin Fan clearly remembered that there were three tasks for this mission. They were to build a 10,000-acre controllable nuclear fusion plant, own a Totamac device, and read four books. Lin Fan had already completed the last two. Now, there was only the 10,000-acre controllable nuclear fusion plant left. It had only been two to three months since the construction of the factory was arranged. The construction was completed so quickly? Feng Zhixiang nodded. ¡°Yes, strictly speaking, all the equipment has been installed. You just need to find an opportunity to cut the ribbon and you can announce the completion!¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t cut corners, right?¡± Although Lin Fan wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible, he definitely did not want to invite trouble by cutting corners just to finish the construction as soon as possible. ¡°Everything was built according to high standards. There¡¯ll definitely be no quality problems!¡± Feng Zhixiang immediately guaranteed. ¡°It¡¯s just that we have more people building it, so the speed is faster.¡± Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction and said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go cut the ribbon!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Feng Zhixiang said. The Audi and the Cullinan continued to drive toward the suburbs. Not long after, a group of tall buildings appeared in front of them. Lin Fan still remembered the first time he came here. There was only a narrow, bumpy road and a few dilapidated factories. It had only been two months, but Youbai Road, which had eight lanes in both directions, and a large nuclear fusion plant that covered more than 10,000 acres now existed here. Some people said that nature had the power of uncanny workmanship. In fact, humans also possessed similar powers. When the security guard at the entrance saw Feng Zhixiang¡¯s and Lin Fan¡¯s cars, he immediately stood up straight and quickly opened the gate. When the vehicles drove into the square of the factory, all the workers gathered together and stood neatly in a square. Obviously, they had already received Feng Zhixiang¡¯s notice. Under the gazes of the workers, Lin Fan and Feng Zhixiang slowly walked onto the stage. ¡°Thanks to the hard work of everyone, the construction of Ordinary Technology Co., Ltd. is officially completed today!¡± Feng Zhixiang said loudly. The venue immediately erupted into a round of applause. This was a congratulatory gesture, and at the same time, it was also an affirmation of their hard work over the past few months. ¡°Next, let¡¯s invite Professor Lin to give a speech and cut the ribbon for the completion of Ordinary Technology Co., Ltd.!¡± Hence, everyone¡¯s gaze was focused on Lin Fan. Lin Fan looked at everyone and said, ¡°Ordinary Technology Co., Ltd. is completed!¡± After saying that, he picked up the scissors and cut the ribbon! All the employees were stunned. Just one sentence and he was done? Feng Zhixiang was the first to react. He raised his hand and clapped hard. Then¡­ All the employees present also clapped. Lin Fan¡¯s face revealed an obvious smile. This was not because he was happy that he had successfully cut the ribbon, signifying the completion of the factory, but because a clear notification had sounded in his mind. [Ding! Mission completed¡ªbuild a nuclear fusion plant of more than 10,000 acres (1/1), own a Totamac device (1/1), and read Particle Simulation of Plasmas, Manual of Plasma Physics and Formulas, Physics of Thermonutal Fusion Plasma, and Controlled Nuclear Fusion (5/5). Reward: Complete version of controllable nuclear fusion device, its related knowledge, physics level +1, 1 platinum packet.] [Ding! Upgrade successful! Congratulations, you¡¯ve gained Top Academician-Level Physics Experience.] Suddenly, a lot of complicated physics knowledge appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. Among them, controllable nuclear fusion knowledge was the most complicated. The applause ended. Feng Zhixiang asked, ¡°Professor Lin, let me show you around.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan said. Hence, Feng Zhixiang brought Lin Fan past the towering chimney, the spacious workshop, the bright office, and the warm dormitory¡­ Even though they were traveling by car, it took them more than half an hour to roughly tour the entire factory. At this moment, Feng Zhixiang¡¯s gaze slowly landed on Lin Fan. He rubbed his hands and smiled. ¡°Professor Lin, the construction of the factory has been completed. What about the controllable nuclear fusion¡­¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°I¡¯ll go back first.¡± Without waiting for Feng Zhixiang to say anything else, he turned around and got into his Cullinan. He stepped on the accelerator and sped off into the distance. Only Feng Zhixiang was left standing on the spot in a daze. What was going on? Was it not said that if the controllable nuclear fusion plant was built, he would have the controllable nuclear fusion technology? Why did he just leave? Feng Zhixiang looked at the taillights that were getting farther and farther away. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he could not say anything. In the end, he could only sigh deeply. ¡°It seems like the controllable nuclear fusion¡­ There¡¯s still a long way to go!¡± Feng Zhixiang said helplessly. Chapter 561 - 561 Equipment Arrived; Power Cut! 561 Equipment Arrived; Power Cut! Lin Fan had no idea about the change in Feng Zhixiang¡¯s mentality. At this moment, Lin Fan had already returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa. His thoughts moved slightly. In the next moment, a giant machine several meters tall appeared in the garden. At the same time, a thick stack of documents appeared on the coffee table. This was the controllable nuclear fusion equipment, as well as manuals, blueprints, and so on. Although it was the first time he saw these things, Lin Fan knew every single component and function of this machine. He sized it up for a while, then sat on the sofa and leisurely drank a few cups of Spirit Tea. He also played with his phone for a while. Only then did she call Feng Zhixiang. After the ringtone rang three times, the call was connected. Just as Lin Fan was about to say something, a commotion sounded from inside. ¡°Director Feng, why is it so noisy over there?¡± he asked.¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯m at the airport. I¡¯m going to Jingbei for a meeting. Professor Lin, is there anything you need?¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°The controllable nuclear fusion equipment has arrived at Coiling Dragon Villa. Since you¡¯re going to Jingbei for a meeting, you can come back next time.¡± ¡­ Feng Zhixiang¡¯s phone fell to the ground. Then, he shouted at the top of his lungs, ¡°Driver, driver! Make a turn! I¡¯m not taking the plane anymore! I want to go to Coiling Dragon Villa!¡± Then, Feng Zhixiang put the phone to his ear and said, ¡°I¡¯ll come over now. Professor Lin, please wait for me.¡± After saying that, he hurriedly hung up the phone. ¡­ Lin Fan heard the busy tone on his phone and chuckled. About ten minutes later, an Audi slammed on the brakes. Feng Zhixiang walked down anxiously. When he saw the huge machine that was several meters tall, his mouth opened wide, and he circled it a few times. Then, he asked in an extremely excited voice, ¡°Professor Lin¡­ This is¡­¡± Lin Fan nodded and said, ¡°This is the controllable nuclear fusion device. I call it Ordinary 1.¡± ¡°Good name, good name!¡± Feng Zhixiang shouted excitedly. As he spoke, he pressed his entire body against the device, as if he wanted to give it a big hug. At this moment, three army helicopters approached from afar and slowly landed. The leader of the soldiers saluted Feng Zhixiang and Lin Fan. Then, he ordered a dozen soldiers to surround the controllable nuclear fusion equipment, as well as the gates and blind spots of the Coiling Dragon Villa. Lin Fan could not help but ask curiously, ¡°Director Feng, why did you bring so many people here?¡± ¡°We just mentioned controllable nuclear fusion on the phone,¡± Feng Zhixiang said seriously. ¡°If someone was eavesdropping, there¡¯d be a certain risk!¡± Lin Fan opened his mouth. He wanted to say that no one in this world could eavesdrop on his phone. However, he looked at Feng Zhixiang¡¯s serious expression. He swallowed his words back into his heart. Forget it, forget it. He could do whatever he wanted. Lin Fan shook his head and continued playing with his phone. Not long after, two green trucks and several large cranes drove into Coiling Dragon Villa. After a series of careful maneuvering, the controllable nuclear fusion device finally landed smoothly on the truck. Seeing this¡­ Feng Zhixiang could not help but nod his head. He turned to Lin Fan and said, ¡°Professor Lin, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Fan was stunned. ¡°Leave? Where are we going?¡± Feng Zhixiang said, ¡°Of course, we¡¯ll test the functions of Ordinary 1. Although I¡¯ve already asked a group of experts to wait at Ordinary Technology Company, we still don¡¯t know how to operate it.¡± Lin Fan nodded helplessly. Hence, Lin Fan drove the Cullinan to the outskirts of the city, where Ordinary Technology Company was. At that moment, a large group of white-haired elders wearing glasses were standing at the entrance. They¡­ They were the experts that Feng Zhixiang had mentioned. ¡°Hello, Department Director Feng,¡± the experts said in unison. Feng Zhixiang nodded. Then, he introduced them to Professor Lin Fan. Everyone¡¯s figures became solemn. Who in the entire academic world had not heard of Lin Fan¡¯s name? He was a great existence who had won four Nobel Prizes at the same time! ¡°Hello, Professor Lin.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Hello.¡± Under Feng Zhixiang and Lin Fan¡¯s instructions, the equipment was finally placed in the workshop in the middle. Finally, a bald expert could not help but ask, ¡°Professor Lin, what kind of equipment is this?¡± Even though Feng Zhixiang had informed them to come over, he did not say what they were here for. Obviously, this was also to prevent the phone from being tapped or the news from being leaked. Lin Fan said, ¡°Oh, this, Ordinary 1¡­¡± Lin Fan thought about it and felt that no one had heard of the name Ordinary 1. ¡°It¡¯s a controllable nuclear fusion device.¡± His answer was very dull However¡­ It sounded like a huge thunder in everyone¡¯s ears, causing the entire workshop to suddenly fall silent. A controllable nuclear fusion device? The thing that only existed in legends? ¡°Everyone should know the rules,¡± Feng Zhixiang said solemnly. ¡°I won¡¯t say much. Later, everyone must sign a confidentiality agreement!¡± Everyone nodded. Then, Feng Zhixiang said in a very nervous and anxious tone, ¡°Professor Lin, what should we do next?¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Have you prepared the deuterated water?¡± ¡°It¡¯s ready!¡± Feng Zhixiang said. Before building Ordinary Technology, Lin Fan had told him that he would be able to use controllable nuclear fusion technology. Therefore, Feng Zhixiang had someone refine tritium early on. The purpose¡­ was to test the controllable nuclear fusion faster. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Although our factory is big, the power consumption is too low. Even the smallest amount of energy is enough to burn all the electrical equipment.¡± ¡°How about this? Contact the electricity department and ask Lake District and Summer District to cut off electricity for two hours.¡± Feng Zhixiang responded like a soldier, ¡°Alright!¡± Then, he quickly made a call. ¡°Leader Jiao, hello. I have an urgent matter here. I need your cooperation¡­¡± Not long after Feng Zhixiang hung up, his phone vibrated slightly. ¡°Professor Lin, Lake District and Summer District is having a power cut,¡± Feng Zhixiang said. Lin Fan pointed at the entrance not far away and said, ¡°Pour a ton of deuterium here.¡± Under Feng Zhixiang¡¯s command, someone quickly injected the tritium into it. Lin Fan said, ¡°Alright, everything is ready. I will start.¡± Hence¡­ Under the watchful eyes of Feng Zhixiang and the experts, Lin Fan fiddled with many complicated buttons on the dashboard. ¡°Activate!¡± After saying that, he pressed the last red button. Chapter 562 - 562 Success; Creating a Sun! 562 Success; Creating a Sun! Ordinary 1 let out a soft sound. Then, the numbers on the screen began to jump rapidly. Two million megavolts! Five million megavolts! Ten million megavolts! 30 million megavolts! When the experts saw these numbers, their eyes widened in disbelief. Someone could not help but exclaim, ¡°How is this possible?!¡± The crowd did not look at him with blame or surprise. They also had the same shock and doubt. One had to know¡­ A medium-sized city would only consume 30 to 50 million megavolts of electricity every day. Now, it could generate 30 million megavolts of electricity with just one ton of hydrogen! Deuterated water was a solution that could be easily extracted from seawater. Seawater occupied more than 70% of the earth¡¯s surface area. Therefore, the supply of it was inexhaustible. It could generate so much electricity. If it was true, then¡­ the entire world would no longer have to worry about energy! At this moment, Feng Zhixiang¡¯s phone suddenly rang. Feng Zhixiang wanted to reject. However, when he saw that it was Jiao Yang, he still picked up. ¡°Director Feng, I¡¯ve already asked someone to turn off the power supply in the Summer and Lake Districts, but for some reason, the Summer and Lake Districts suddenly have electricity again. I¡¯ve already asked someone to check,¡± Jiao Yang asked. The power supply was turned off, but there was electricity! They had succeeded! Ordinary 1¡¯s test was a success! It really generated 30 million megavolts of electricity! ¡°Good, great!¡± Feng Zhixiang exclaimed excitedly. ¡°Hahaha!¡± After a while, he seemed to realize that the call had not been hung up. He quickly said, ¡°Leader Jiao, you just need to maintain the current state.¡± Jiao Yang was still at a loss, so he could only reply, ¡°Alright.¡± Then, the entire workshop was filled with excited exclamations. ¡°Too unbelievable!¡± ¡°Heavens!¡± ¡°A miracle!¡± ¡°I actually witnessed it with my own eyes!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a success! The controllable nuclear fusion is a success!¡± ¡­ When some people called out, hot tears even flowed out of the corners of their eyes. They were experts in controllable nuclear fusion and had been working hard for this technology for most of their lives. They were the group of people who hoped that this technology could be realized as soon as possible. Now, it had finally succeeded! ¡°Professor Lin, thank you!¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± Everyone bowed to Lin Fan and thanked him. Lin Fan suddenly received such big bows from elders many years his senior. He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, ¡°This is just a small matter. You don¡¯t have to do this. ¡°Oh right, these are the manuals, blueprints, and principles of Ordinary 1.¡± As he spoke, Lin Fan handed over a stack of documents. Feng Zhixiang took the information and bowed 90 degrees to Lin Fan. ¡°Professor Lin, thank you! I know that what you¡¯ve done is not something that can be expressed with just thanks¡­ ¡°However, I can¡¯t find any other way for the time being. ¡°Thank you!¡± After saying that, he bowed toward Lin Fan once more. ¡°Also, Professor Lin, don¡¯t worry. This is your technology and patent. When people use it, they¡¯ll pay for it!¡± Clearly, this was for Lin Fan¡¯s benefit. This kind of technology would undoubtedly set off a huge wave in the energy field. Without a doubt¡­ The wind power, firepower, and even the water power stations would pale in comparison to Ordinary 1. He could foresee that in the future¡­ Hua Nation, and even most of the world, would be using controllable nuclear fusion electricity. There would definitely be a bountiful profit from this! ¡°Alright,¡± said Lin Fan. He no longer cared about money. It was just a few more zeros or a few fewer zeros. After a pause, he said, ¡°Alright, you guys can study it slowly. I¡¯ll leave first.¡± After saying that, he did not stay any longer and walked straight out. For the next few days, Lin Fan stayed in the Coiling Dragon Villa to rest quietly. According to past experience, every time he received a reward, many people would come to congratulate him and chat with him. It was very troublesome. Lin Fan hated trouble. Lin Fan rested quietly, but the entire world was in a commotion because of him. The success of controllable nuclear fusion was officially announced. ¡­ On Weibo. Don¡¯t Forget, Don¡¯t Forget! [Controlled nuclear fusion? Am I seeing things? Furthermore, it was invented by God Lin Fan?!] Hero: [I thought it was a work of fiction. I didn¡¯t expect it to turn into reality so quickly! Professor Lin is awesome!] Li Bai: [When my mentor saw this news, he cried on the spot!] Waiter: [It wasn¡¯t easy for me to accept the fact that God Lin Fan solved Zhou¡¯s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, and other mathematical problems. He even invented the earthquake prediction device. [It wasn¡¯t easy for me to accept that God Lin Fan invented the earthquake prediction device. In the end, he invented the super battery. [It wasn¡¯t easy for me to accept that God Lin Fan invented the super battery. In the end, he invented the carbon-based photolithographic machine. [It wasn¡¯t easy for me to accept that God Lin Fan invented the carbon-based photolithographic machine. In the end, he invented the human islet recovery drug. [I finally accepted that God Lin Fan invented the human islet recovery drug, and now he invented the controllable nuclear fusion device?! [Finally, I just want to say that God Lin Fan is awesome!] Sinking: [Didn¡¯t Lin Fan just win four Nobel Prizes? What kind of big event is this?] Confused: [May I ask, what is controllable nuclear fusion?] Gudmore: [This world is constantly reminding me that I came to the human world to make up the numbers.] I Know, I Know: [Why is the difference between people so big?] Firmament: [It seems that there are still people who don¡¯t know what controllable nuclear fusion is. Let me give a simple explanation. [Controlled nuclear fusion is the process of fusing two lighter nuclei into a heavier nucleus and releasing energy. [For example, the sun is able to emit sunlight because it¡¯s undergoing controllable nuclear fusion. [Therefore, controllable nuclear fusion is also known as the Little Sun. [In addition, the main material used in this controllable nuclear fusion was extracted from seawater. It can be said that there¡¯s an endless supply. [Some people said that the main problem that has been plaguing human development is the problem of energy! [And now, our energy problem can be said to have been fundamentally solved!] Flowers Blossoms: [So you¡¯re saying that God Lin Fan created the sun?] Stone Golem: [F*ck, awesome!] Disheartened: [F*ck, awesome!] Awoo: [F*ck, awesome!] ¡­ Chapter 563 - 563 Deathmatch; Good Friends! 563 Deathmatch; Good Friends! The matter on the internet continued to ferment, and it was at the top of the trending list for several days. Lin Fan did not pay any attention to this. Today, Lin Fan, who had nothing to do, took a first-class flight to Modu. In order to prevent Qin Yuxuan from going on a business trip, Lin Fan called her in advance. When Lin Fan arrived at the Global Financial Tower, the employees of Fan Yu Investment Company were all very busy. However, it seemed a little strange that they were so busy today. That was because Lin Fan noticed that many employees would look up at the door from time to time. Their faces were filled with anticipation. At this moment, the beautiful receptionist raised her head with an expectant gaze, just like the other employees. In the next moment¡­ She quickly stood up and respectfully said, ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin.¡± Lin Fan nodded his head, ¡°Is Yuxuan here?¡± ¡°Yes, she¡¯s in the office now,¡± the receptionist said. As she spoke, she was about to walk out of the front desk and lead the way. Lin Fan waved his hand. ¡°No need. I can go over myself.¡± After all, he had been to Fan Yu Investment Company many times. In fact, Lin Fan had even chosen this office when he first came over. He was very familiar with the place! ¡°Please come in.¡± Qin Yuxuan¡¯s crisp voice came from inside. Lin Fan pushed open the door. Qin Yuxuan continued to approve another document before raising her head. When she saw that it was Lin Fan, her pretty face was filled with smiles. She said, ¡°What do you want to drink?¡± ¡°Green tea,¡± Lin Fan said. ¡°Alright,¡± Qin Yuxuan replied. Usually, Qin Yuxuan¡¯s coffee and tea would be served by her secretary. However, she personally brewed tea for Lin Fan. After a while, a faint fragrance filled the entire office. Lin Fan took a sip and asked, ¡°Have you been busy recently?¡± Qin Yuxuan said, ¡°I am busy, but I like this feeling. It is fulfilling and satisfying.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°It¡¯s good to be fulfilled, but you still need to rest.¡± If it was someone else who said this, Qin Yuxuan would definitely not care. She might even think that the other party was long-winded. However, when Lin Fan said it, it made her heart feel sweet. ¡°Alright,¡± Qin Yuxuan said with a smile. Lin Fan took another sip of tea and asked, ¡°By the way, I see that the employees outside seem to be waiting for someone.¡± Initially, he thought that Qin Yuxuan had informed them that he was coming, which was why the employees were waiting. However, judging from the beautiful receptionist¡¯s reaction, it did not seem to be the case. Qin Yuxuan was about to answer. Suddenly, a passionate voice sounded outside. ¡°She¡¯s so beautiful!¡± ¡°She¡¯s even more beautiful than on TV!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t push.¡± ¡°Let me take a photo too.¡± ¡°Can I have your autograph?¡± ¡°I want an autographed photo.¡± ¡­ Qin Yuxuan smiled. ¡°She should be here. Come, let¡¯s go out and take a look. You know her.¡± Know her? Lin Fan nodded his head in confusion. The door opened. The two of them walked forward shoulder to shoulder. The crowded employees quickly made way for the two of them. In the next moment¡­ A voluptuous figure with exquisite facial features appeared in their field of vision. It was Ling Rou. When Lin Fan saw her, he was stunned. Lin Fan remembered that the last time he saw Ling Rou was when she won the Golden Melody Awards. Unexpectedly, the next time they met was at Fan Yu Investment Company! His two women were meeting¡­ Was this considered a battlefield? ¡­ When Ling Rou saw Lin Fan, she was stunned. Obviously, she did not expect to see Lin Fan. Only Qin Yuxuan was very calm. She smiled and said, ¡°Ling Rou, welcome to Fan Yu Investment. I believe that because of your endorsement, our Fan Yu Investment will be known by more people.¡± As she spoke, she stretched out her slender hand. Ling Rou was stunned for a moment before she reached out her hand and said, ¡°Thank you.¡± Qin Yuxuan introduced, ¡°This is the real boss of our company, Lin Fan.¡± Under the gaze of Qin Yuxuan, Ling Rou and Lin Fan reached out their hands to shake hands. Qin Yuxuan smiled. ¡°I¡¯m a fan. Come, let¡¯s go to my office first. How about that?¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Ling Rou looked at Lin Fan and said. Qin Yuxuan, Ling Rou, and Lin Fan slowly walked into the office while surrounded by the employees. Qin Yuxuan locked the door. ¡°Ling Rou, I just brewed this tea. Why don¡¯t you come and have a taste?¡± Ling Rou took a sip. It tasted sweet and refreshing. This was Spirit Tea! Qin Yuxuan said, ¡°Ling Rou, I like your song Galaxy the most. It¡¯s so good! Whether it¡¯s the lyrics or the tune, everything is perfect! There was a period of time where I would listen to it a few times every day¡­¡± Ling Rou looked at Lin Fan and stuttered, ¡°Oh¡­ is that so?¡± Qin Yuxuan said, ¡°Of course. Actually, I also saw the publicity for your first concert, but I was too busy at that time, so I could not make it.¡± Lin Fan picked up the teacup and drank a mouthful of tea. He almost choked. What if Qin Yuxuan had gone to the concert? At that time, Lin Fan had called Huang Ling, Qiu Ziqian, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Han Tian, Hu Tian, and the rest over. If they suddenly met, it would be a deathmatch. Qin Yuxuan patted Lin Fan¡¯s back gently and asked, ¡°Are you alright? Drink slowly. No one¡¯s gonna snatch it from you.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Alright¡­¡± Alright.¡± Qin Yuxuan said to Ling Rou. ¡°Ling Rou, I¡¯m actually from Jiang Province! My hometown is in Qing City, which is very close to Jiangbei! Because I didn¡¯t go to your concert, I regretted it for a long time. ¡°By the way, who¡¯s the lyricist and composer for Galaxy? That person must be very talented, right? Do they have any other songs?¡± Ling Rou looked at Lin Fan again and said, ¡°He¡¯s really talented. Unfortunately, there¡¯s only one song by him for now.¡± Qin Yuxuan sighed and said, ¡°That¡¯s a pity.¡± The two of them held hands and chatted and laughed. That appearance¡­ It was like they were friends who had known each other for many years. They chatted for more than an hour. If they were thirsty, they would drink some Spirit Tea and immediately feel refreshed. Therefore, they did not feel tired at all. At this moment, Qin Yuxuan said, ¡°It¡¯s getting late. I¡¯ve already made a reservation at Li Family Cuisine. Let¡¯s go eat together first.¡± Ling Rou was a little hesitant. ¡°Isn¡¯t it too troublesome?¡± ¡°What trouble?¡± Qin Yuxuan smiled. ¡°The food served at Li Family Cuisine is very delicious. Moreover, you don¡¯t have to worry about being disturbed by others. I specially booked a private room.¡± Then, Qin Yuxuan did not wait for Ling Rou to say anything more. She held her hand and walked out. Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan could only follow behind silently. Chapter 564 - 564 Mission Completed; Good Luck?! (1) 564 Mission Completed; Good Luck?! (1) Li Family Cuisine was a well-known luxurious restaurant in Modu. Whether it was the dishes, the decor, or the style, they were all far superior to ordinary restaurants. Therefore, there were many guests every day. After Qin Yuxuan announced her name, the waiter quickly brought the three of them to a luxurious private room on the third floor. It was luxurious and grand. One could see the empty street outside when one looked up. Even so, it still could not conceal the low atmosphere in the private room. It was Qin Yuxuan who spoke first, making the atmosphere livelier. ¡°Ling Rou, you can try Jingbei smoked meat later. Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s not greasy at all! There¡¯s also shark fin, and the sauce that comes with it is super delicious¡­¡± After listening to Qin Yuxuan¡¯s description, Ling Rou swallowed her saliva as if she had already seen these delicacies. Soon, delicious dishes were served. Qin Yuxuan directly picked up a piece of Jingbei smoked meat and placed it into Qin Yuxuan¡¯s bowl. She said, ¡°Ling Rou, try it quickly.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Ling Rou replied. The smoked meat melted in her mouth. It was very soft and fragrant. ¡°It¡¯s delicious!¡± Ling Rou praised sincerely. ¡°Right?¡± Qin Yuxuan smiled and said, ¡°Try this¡­¡± The atmosphere in the private room became more and more lively as the delicacies entered their stomachs. The two women started chatting and laughing again. Lin Fan was the only one who had been left hanging. Lin Fan was very happy about this. He did not want to see them battle it out. ¡­ The meal lasted until eight o¡¯clock in the evening. Everyone¡¯s stomachs were bulging. At this moment, Qin Yuxuan said, ¡°Ling Rou, let¡¯s go to my house.¡± Before Ling Rou could reply, she held her hand and walked back. In the living room that was nearly 100 square meters, one could see the extremely spacious balcony, the bright French windows, and the rolling river view in the distance. It was as if one were standing between heaven and earth. It was immense enjoyment. ¡°Ling Rou, why are you standing there?¡± Qin Yuxuan asked with a smile. ¡°Sit down.¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Alright,¡± Ling Rou replied. ¡°What do you want to drink?¡± Qin Yuxuan asked. ¡°Anything¡¯s fine as long as it¡¯s chilled,¡± Ling Rou said. ¡°Alright.¡± The three of them sat on the sofa and were silent for a moment. The atmosphere at the scene became dull again. Ling Rou kept scratching her fingers. Lin Fan looked at the sky and the ground as if there was something interesting going on. Only Qin Yuxuan had a smile on her face. Finally, Qin Yuxuan smiled and said, ¡°I have a rough idea of Ling Rou¡¯s situation. Lin Fan, do you have anything else to add to our sister¡¯s story?¡± The air¡­ At that moment, it seemed to have frozen. Sister¡­? Qin Yuxuan knew. In fact¡­ When Ling Rou appeared at the company, Lin Fan had already expected this to happen. However, when it really happened, his heart could not help but beat faster. After a while, Lin Fan said awkwardly, ¡°This¡­ Actually¡­ I was the one who wrote the lyrics and composition for Galaxy.¡± Qin Yuxuan seemed to have expected this and was not too surprised. She nodded and said, ¡°No wonder it sounds so good.¡± ¡°Ling Rou¡¯s concert was also arranged by me.¡± ¡°Mhm, no wonder it¡¯s so grand.¡± ¡°After that, I even accompanied her to the Golden Melody Awards.¡± ¡°This kind of grand prize is deserved.¡± After Qin Yuxuan finished speaking, she held onto Ling Rou¡¯s slender hand once more. At the same time, she also held onto Lin Fan¡¯s hand. Then, the three hands were placed together. ¡°Actually, I already knew¡­ Where are my other sisters? When can we meet?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll call them now,¡± Lin Fan said. As he spoke, he took out his phone. ¡°Silly girl, why are you calling them?¡± Qin Yuxuan asked. ¡°Most of them are from Jiangbei, right?¡± ¡°If I want to see them, I¡¯ll find an opportunity to do so. I¡¯ll go to Jiangbei to see them.¡± Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± Then, Qin Yuxuan looked at Ling Rou and said with a smile, ¡°Ling Rou, we¡¯ll be good sisters from now on.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Ling Rou nodded vigorously. Perhaps it was because the window was not open. The air in the living room began to heat up. The dark clouds covered the sky, and the heavy rain hit the floor-to-ceiling windows, but it did not have much effect. ¡­ For the next few days, Lin Fan accompanied Qin Yuxuan and Ling Rou, either shopping or going to the amusement park. It was very enjoyable. However, happy days were always very short. After rejecting several jobs, Ling Rou was finally forced to go back to work. Qin Yuxuan also had many things to deal with. Therefore, Lin Fan stayed in Modu for four days before returning to Jiangbei. Lin Fan sat on the soft sofa and casually scrolled through his phone for a while. He realized that his popularity was still high. Therefore, he temporarily gave up on his plan to go to school tomorrow. In the blink of an eye, another four days passed. It was Friday. The setting sun in the distance dyed the sky red, making it bright and brilliant. Lin Fan drove Lin Xiaoyao in his Cullinan on the straight highway toward Qing City. When they were at home, they did not think much of it. However, once they were far away, they would miss it dearly. Lin Xiaoyao was like that even though she had just gone to Swede with her parents not long ago. Lin Fan and Lin Xiaoyao arrived at Qing City before the sun set. Chapter 565 - 565 Mission Completed; Good Luck?! (2) 565 Mission Completed; Good Luck?! (2) ¡°Dad, Mom! We¡¯re back!¡± Lin Xiaoyao shouted before she even walked into the house. After pushing open the door, Lin Xiaoyao praised, ¡°Wow! It smells so good!¡± She looked at the large table of dishes. ¡°Braised pork ribs, glutinous rice fish, shredded potatoes, green beans, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, loofah soup¡­ Wow! They¡¯re all my favorite foods! Great!¡± As she spoke, she took a piece of pork rib from the bowl and put it into her mouth. ¡°Delicious!¡± Dai Weixue scolded, ¡°You¡¯re already in university, but you¡¯re still using your hands to eat!¡± ¡°Mom, it¡¯s all because your cooking skills are too good. I can¡¯t help it,¡± Lin Xiaoyao said with a smile. As soon as she finished speaking, she took another piece of pork rib and stuffed it into her mouth. ¡°Your culinary skills are top-notch!¡± Dai Weixue smiled and shook her head. ¡°Go wash your hands and eat.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Xiaoyao said. ¡°Lil Fan, do you want some?¡± Lin Tao asked. ¡°Why are you letting Lil Fan drink? He¡¯s a professor. He can¡¯t drink.¡± Dai Weixue blamed her husband. ¡°Oh, right,¡± said Lin Tao. Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Dad, Mom, professors can drink. It¡¯s fine.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Lin Tao said hesitantly. ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Fan said. As he spoke, he poured himself a glass of wine. ¡°Dad, cheers.¡± ¡°Alright, cheers.¡± After a glass of wine, Lin Tao asked, ¡°I heard that you created a sun? Won¡¯t it be very hot in the future?¡± Lin Fan understood that his father was talking about controllable nuclear fusion. He explained, ¡°It¡¯s just like the sun. It can provide an endless supply of energy. To put it simply, it allows us to use cheaper electricity and ride cheaper cars¡­¡± ¡°Oh, so that¡¯s how it is¡­¡± Lin Tao nodded. Eating together as a family was always so simple and warm. The night gradually deepened. Lin Fan lay on the big bed that had just been basked in the sun. His face was filled with a blissful smile. In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. When the sun rose and the sky was dyed red, Lin Fan opened his eyes. He glanced at his phone out of habit. [Notice from Merchant Bank: 36,892,000 yuan was deposited into your account.] Then, he placed his attention on the sign-in system. ¡°Sign in!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received ten million yuan.] Lin Fan pursed his lips and threw his phone to the side. Then, he slowly got up. After washing up, he went to the breakfast stall with Lin Xiaoyao and ordered a bowl of wontons. Lin Xiaoyao said, ¡°The wontons at home are the most delicious. The ones from Jiangbei don¡¯t taste right.¡± Lin Fan said, ¡°Eat more. That way, your face will be rounder and it¡¯ll feel nicer to pinch.¡± As he spoke, Lin Fan raised his hand and pinched Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s cheek. ¡°Your face is too thin.¡± ¡°Brother!¡± Lin Xiaoyao rebuked. After breakfast, Lin Xiaoyao chose to go home to catch up on her sleep. Lin Fan strolled around the streets. Familiar buildings and familiar streets¡­ Everything was so beautiful. At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated slightly. Lin Fan opened it and saw that it was a WeChat message from Xia Bing and Xia Xue. Xia Bing: [Professor Lin, we just received the International Computer Innovation Award. Certificate.jpg.] Xia Xue: [Professor Lin, we just got the International Computer Innovation Award. Certificate.jpg.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. They had received an international award, which meant¡­ he had completed one-third of his mission as a new teacher! [Mission¡ªbecome a teacher. Teach five students and let them receive three international awards (1/3). Reward: five golden packets and a special skill.] As expected! Lin Fan replied: [Well done!] ¡­ After Xia Bing and Xia Xue sent the message, they held the phones tightly with both hands. They kept staring at them, not daring to think of anything else. Their heartbeats continued to accelerate¡­ The next moment, their phones vibrated slightly. The two of them had smiles more brilliant than blooming flowers. ¡­ Lin Fan continued to stroll around. Not long after, his phone vibrated again. Hao Zhiwu: [Professor Lin, I got the International Neurology Research Award! Certificate.jpg.] Lin Fan replied: [Not bad!] [Hehe, it¡¯s all thanks to you¡­ It¡¯s not just because you taught me knowledge, but also because you¡¯re bold and careful. When I walked up to the podium, I was very nervous and afraid. However, when I thought about how you were very calm when you received the Nobel Prize, I wasn¡¯t afraid or nervous¡­] Hao Zhiwu sent a long message. Luckily, Lin Fan had the scanning ability, so he could read everything in an instant. Lin Fan: [All the best!] Then, Lin Fan put his phone into his pocket and thought to himself, ¡®Now, as long as Jiang Chaoqun¡¯s certificate is in hand, the mission will be completed.¡¯ Xia Bing, Xia Xue, and Hao Zhiwu all got their certificates today. Would Jiang Chaoqun also get it today? If that was the case, he would be able to complete the mission today! However, things¡­ often went against one¡¯s wishes. Even at night, Lin Fan still had not received a message from Jiang Chaoqun. The next day, at 11 AM¡­ Suddenly, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve completed the mission¡ªbecome a teacher: Teach five students and let them receive three international awards (3/3). You¡¯ve received five golden packets and a special skill.] The mission! It was done! [Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the skill Heartbeat.] [Heartbeat: Possesses the special ability to listen to the thoughts of the other party. The more you listen, the more charming you are!] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. Hear the other party¡¯s thoughts? This was definitely a very good skill! It was really worth spending so much time as a professor to teach students. Not bad, not bad! ¡­ On the other hand, Jiang Chaoqun, who had just received his certificate, sent a message to Lin Fan immediately. However, even after waiting for a long time, Lin Fan did not reply. ¡°Maybe the professor is busy with other projects,¡± Jiang Chaoqun muttered. How could he know that Lin Fan was completely immersed in the joy of hearing other people¡¯s inner thoughts? ¡­ After a while, Lin Fan finally stopped feeling happy about the new skill. He then turned his attention to the five golden packets and one platinum packet. The five golden packets were the rewards from this mission. The platinum packet was the reward from the controllable nuclear fusion plant. ¡°I¡¯ll open the golden packets first.¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 100,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 900,000 yuan.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a Dimensional Multiplication Card.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a one yuan critical hit card.] [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received 500,000 yuan.] As for the 1.5 million yuan that he obtained, as well as the one yuan critical hit card¡­ Lin Fan did not care about them. He immediately placed his attention on the Dimensional Multiplication Card. [Dimensional Multiplication Card: After use, the inner space will randomly increase by one to ten times.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up once more. He had personally experienced the magic of the inner space. It was a magical space that could allow objects to instantly enter his body with a slight thought. This space was only ten square meters. Previously, Lin Fan had felt that there was simply too little space. Now, there was finally a chance for growth! ¡°Use it!¡± [Ding! It was used successfully. Congratulations, your inner space has increased by five times!] Your current inner space is 50 square meters.] Lin Fan looked at the inner space that had expanded and revealed a satisfied look. First, he obtained the ability to listen to the thoughts of others. After that, he obtained the Dimensional Multiplication Card. It seemed like¡­ today¡¯s luck was pretty good! Then, Lin Fan¡¯s eyes landed on the last platinum packet with a look of incomparable anticipation. ¡°Open!¡± [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the skill¡ªBeginner Fasting Technique.] Another skill? [Beginner Fasting Technique: After using it, it can greatly reduce the energy consumption of the human body and extract energy from the natural world, so that your body will not be affected even if you do not eat or drink for a month.] Seeing this¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up. Fasting? Was this like the immortal cultivation talked about in legends? In the next moment¡­ The smile on Lin Fan¡¯s face froze as he stood rooted to the spot. That was because another crisp notification sounded in his mind. [Ding! A total of one million red packets have been opened, and a doomsday mission has been unlocked.] Chapter 566 - 566 Doomsday; Countdown! (1) 566 Doomsday; Countdown! (1) [Doomsday mission: The universe is fair. Every world has its initial birth, development, and final destruction. However, after the Earth started suffering from the wanton destruction of mankind, the day of its final destruction was brought forward! [However, the universe is willing to give you a chance to save Earth! [After completing the mission, you¡¯ll receive a large amount of rewards¡­] Doomsday mission? Earth was going to be destroyed? Even though Lin Fan had a pretty good ability to accept things, he was stunned by this mission on the spot. He did not move for a long time. ¡­ It was also at this moment¡­ Everywhere in the world, whether it was a private bedroom, a large flat, a plane without signal, or a dark basement¡­ an emotionless voice sounded. ¡°Countdown to the end of the world. ¡°Next, a Void Gate will randomly appear in the territories of 200 countries around the world. A certain number of human representatives from each country will be randomly selected to enter the Otherworld. ¡°The live broadcast of the human representatives¡¯ activities in the Otherworld will be shown at the various Void Gates. ¡°At the same time, the Void Gates will spew out a terrifying fog of destruction or a magical light of life based on the performance of the human representatives from various countries. ¡°Void Gates, appear! ¡°Choose your representatives! ¡°Three days later, the representatives will enter the Otherworld!¡± ¡°Doomsday is here!¡± The voice stopped. It was also at this moment that in the sky above the bustling city, in the empty fields, and in the desolate mountains¡­ a huge black door appeared. In the middle of the black door, the starlight formed a huge countdown that read ¡¯71:59:59.¡¯ When the voice appeared, many people thought that they had forgotten to turn the speakers off. However, when they saw the Void Gate, everyone¡¯s mouths and eyes were wide open. They were completely stunned. Some people hurriedly took out their phones to take a photo. Some screamed loudly. Others instantly cried. The chaos had officially begun! Weibo, Facebook, BBS, and the rest of the internet¡­ The top ten trending searches on all social media platforms had become the topic of doomsday in just five minutes. Times Have Changed: [Doomsday! Is this true?] Firmament: [That Void Gate is too terrifying.] Waning Moon: [Countdown, countdown¡­ In 72 hours, Earth will be destroyed!] Useless Scholar: [What should we do now? I don¡¯t want to die yet.] Ruthless Time: [Why, why is it suddenly doomsday?] Moon on the Tree: [Hasn¡¯t the energy problem been solved?] Guardian: [Please tell me that this is not true. This is a joke the country is playing on us, right? This must be some high-tech product invented by the country, a three-dimensional projection, right? Professor Lin! Yes, this must be the 3D projection technology invented by Professor Lin!] Magic Attack: [Professor Lin, please step out and answer.] Stone: [Alright, don¡¯t call out to Professor Lin anymore. Now, the one who¡¯s suffering the most¡­ is probably him. It¡¯s better not to disturb him. Professor Lin has invented many high-tech products, so he¡¯s definitely a staunch atheist. [In the end, such a situation occurred. Perhaps there really is a god in this world. [This could be said to have shattered Professor Lin¡¯s worldview!] Ordinary People Far: [This is indeed not a 3D projection technology. As far as I know, just as the voice said, Void Gates have appeared in all countries in the world. [If it was a three-dimensional projection technology, how big would the projector be? [This kind of projector would definitely be easily discovered. [However, so far, there¡¯s no news of the projector. In fact, there¡¯s no light source. [The Void Gates are real! [In addition, the voice from before sounded at the same time. This isn¡¯t something that a projector can do. In fact, it can¡¯t be done with any high-tech equipment!] Half-Human Half-Beast: [So we¡¯re done for? Is the apocalypse really coming?] Mr. Zhang: [Didn¡¯t they say that each country will randomly select some representatives? As long as the representatives perform well, the world won¡¯t be destroyed.] Disheartened: [Nashland has just sent news that a football player has been selected as a representative!] Uncle Wang: [There¡¯s news from Japes that a streetcar driver will become a representative.] Love You Forever: [Say, an investigator from Eagle Country has become a representative.] ¡­ Heart Like Still Water: [So many countries¡¯ representatives have been announced. What about ours? Who¡¯s chosen from our country?] Huhuhu: [Yeah, where¡¯s our country¡¯s representative? I heard that the representatives of the other countries have all been arranged for emergency training and equipment selection¡­ Our country has to hurry up too.] ¡­ In fact, it was not just the netizens who were discussing and panicking. The higher-ups of Hua Nation were holding an emergency meeting. They had a heated discussion. ¡°How many Void Gates have appeared in our country?¡± ¡°A total of 30!¡± ¡°What do you think of this doomsday declaration?¡± ¡°This is not an effect that can be produced by any currently known technology. That¡¯s because the Void Gates can be found all over the world.¡± ¡°In the vast universe, there might really be some unknown entity.¡± At this point, the atmosphere at the scene could not help but become gloomy. It felt like they had suddenly become weak ants. They were extremely helpless. Chapter 567 - 567 Doomsday; Countdown! (2) 567 Doomsday; Countdown! (2) At this moment, the man sitting in the main seat said, ¡°Have you asked Professor Lin?¡± ¡°Professor Lin¡¯s phone is unreachable.¡± The man on the main seat seemed to have thought of something and said, ¡°Then don¡¯t disturb Professor Lin now. He¡¯s very tired.¡± ¡°Have we not announced our representative yet?¡± ¡°Not at the moment.¡± ¡°What are the characteristics of the people chosen from other countries?¡± ¡°They all heard the voice in their minds. At the same time, a golden 72-hour countdown that only they can see appeared on their arms.¡± It had to be said that Hua Nation¡¯s ability was not bad. Not long after all this happened, they had already investigated all this information. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, we can only wait for the chosen ones to take the initiative to report.¡± ¡°Get all the major online platforms to increase the news. Reward the individuals and families of those who have taken the initiative to report that they¡¯ve been selected. Make relevant promises. At the same time, get the local authorities to step up their publicity and search. ¡°In addition, chaos begets chaos in troubled times,¡± the man said after a pause. ¡°Tell all the places to pay attention to maintaining order.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± ¡­ Just as the man had expected, there was chaos in troubled times. Some people could not suppress the fear in their hearts and committed crimes. Fortunately, Hua Nation stopped everything in time. Thus, order was quickly restored. However, it was not so easy for other countries. Snatching, smashing, burning, and killing were rampant. Thick smoke billowed, and wails could be heard. There were still three days before the chosen ones entered the Otherworld, but those countries were already showing signs of doomsday! ¡­ At this moment, Qing City, Fourth Streeth. Lin Xiaoyao slowly walked out and said in a daze, ¡°Brother, I just heard¡­ Doomsday¡­¡± However, before she could finish her sentence, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground and the honks of many cars. These sounds scared Lin Xiaoyao so much that she could not help but shrink back. Lin Fan hurriedly covered her ears and smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the apocalypse won¡¯t come.¡± Although it was just a very plain sentence, after Lin Xiaoyao heard it, she immediately felt that it was the truth. Doomsday¡­ It would definitely not descend! Lin Xiaoyao nodded vigorously and said, ¡°Yes!¡± At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from outside. It was Lin Tao and Dai Weixue. While they were working in the shop, they suddenly heard that emotionless voice. In the beginning, they did not pay much attention to it. However¡­ the noise outside was incessant now. Then, a huge Void Gate appeared in the air. Only then did they know that it was true! Thus, Lin Tao and Dai Weixue did not even close the shop door and returned home as quickly as possible. If the apocalypse was really coming, they would have to stay with their children! ¡°Lil Fan¡­¡± ¡°Dad, Mom, you heard it too, right?¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the apocalypse won¡¯t come.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Dai Weixue asked hesitantly. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s true, Mom. Have you forgotten¡­ I¡¯m a big professor?¡± Lin Fan smiled. ¡°That¡¯s true. My son is a great professor!¡± Dai Weixue said. Lin Tao did not say anything. He just looked at Lin Fan silently. For the next two days, no matter how noisy the streets were or what people talked about¡­ Lin Tao, Dai Weixue, Lin Fan, and Lin Xiaoyao¡¯s family acted as if they had not heard anything. They were no different from usual. They continued to eat, watch TV, and chat every day. It was very warm. On the internet, more and more representatives from different countries were announced, causing countless discussions. Some people even created a Hero Ranking. They called these chosen people heroes who were about to save the world. They created a comprehensive list based on their strength, influence, popularity, and so on. There were no Chinese people on this list! That was because Hua Nation still had not found anyone who had been chosen. ¡­ On Weibo. Love: [What¡¯s going on? Where are the chosen ones from our country?] Feng Huo Huo: [Chosen ones, come out quickly! Don¡¯t be afraid. We¡¯ll definitely train you into the most outstanding people in the shortest time possible.] 123: [Why aren¡¯t you coming out?] Two-Three: [Don¡¯t tell me there are no chosen people in our country?] Who Am I: [We¡¯re done for. If this continues, we¡¯re done for!] ¡­ Jingbei conference room. A group of men in white shirts gathered together. The man sitting at the top asked, ¡°You still haven¡¯t found any chosen ones?¡± ¡°The number of people who said they were chosen online was 51,229. The number of people who claimed to be chosen in reality was 39,881. However, after screening and checking, we found that none of them were chosen.¡± ¡°How¡¯s the investigation going on in the mountain villages without internet and some places that are rarely visited?¡± After all, the internet was filled with discussions about the apocalypse and heroes. It could be said that anyone who had some contact with the internet or had a smartphone would know that Hua Nation was looking for the chosen ones. However, none of the chosen ones had stepped up. Hence, they suspected that they were in a place without access to the internet. Someone answered, ¡°Nearly 10,000 soldiers have been set up for the investigation. In the past two days, they¡¯ve conducted emergency searches in many mountain villages without internet access and remote forests. ¡°However, so far, we haven¡¯t found anything.¡± ¡°What about the people who have passed away recently?¡± The man above pondered. Obviously, he was worried that the chosen ones had gotten into some sort of accident. This was the worst outcome. However, it was also a possibility. ¡°We¡¯ve investigated the people who were critically ill and died in the past two days. For the time being, we haven¡¯t found anything special.¡± When the man above heard this, he could not help but frown. No! No! Still nothing! According to the current pattern¡­ The bigger the country, the stronger the power, and the more people would be selected. Some large countries even had more than ten people! Even the weakest country would have at least one person chosen. However, what was the situation in Hua Nation? Why hadn¡¯t any chosen ones appeared? The man in the white shirt slowly raised his head and looked at the Void Gate. 1:00:59! There was only one hour left before the chosen ones had to enter the Otherworld! ¡­ The scorching sun seemed to have ignited the entire sky. It was restless and scorching! Qing City, Fourth Street. The father and son were in the living room. Lin Tao lit a cigarette and said in a low voice, ¡°You¡¯re going to leave soon.¡± Lin Fan had not told his parents and sister that he was the only chosen one in Hua Nation. However, since father and son were of one mind, Lin Tao could still guess the result. Lin Fan looked at the timer on his wrist and said, ¡°There¡¯s still an hour left.¡± Lin Tao took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, ¡°Be careful.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan said. At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside. Qin Yuxuan, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Hu Tian, Su Ningjing, Han Tian, Ling Rou, Qiu Ziqian, Huang Ling, Chen Xin, Xu Jingrou, and a large group of women appeared at the door. ¡°They¡¯re looking for you, aren¡¯t they?¡± Lin Tao asked. Lin Fan nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Go and say goodbye,¡± Lin Tao took another puff of his cigarette and said. ¡°Alright,¡± Lin Fan replied and walked out slowly. Just as Lin Fan walked out of the door, Lin Xiaoyao and Dai Weixue walked out of the room. Dai Weixue threw herself into Lin Tao¡¯s arms, tears rolling down her cheeks. Lin Xiaoyao let out a hoarse voice from her throat. ¡°Brother¡­¡± Outside the door¡­ Lin Fan¡¯s eyes swept across the women. None of them spoke, as if time had stopped. After some time, Qin Yuxuan took a few steps forward and hugged Lin Fan. After a while, she reluctantly let go. Then, Xia Bing and Xia Xue went forward and hugged Lin Fan. Then, it was Han Tian, Hu Tian, and Su Ningjing¡­ After they hugged each other, the countdown at the Void Gate became 00:00:03! Three seconds left! Therefore, everyone shouted, ¡°Lin Fan, we¡¯ll wait for you!¡± Lin Fan wanted to say something¡­ Swoosh! Time returned to zero! In the next moment, Lin Fan vanished from where he stood. Chapter 568 - 568 Lin Fan; Arrival! 568 Lin Fan; Arrival! At the same time, in the emergency training bases of other countries¡­ When the countdown reached zero, all the chosen people disappeared into thin air. Perhaps some people were still a little confused about the doomsday declaration and the chosen ones. At this moment, they gradually began to believe it. It was also at this moment¡­ A high-definition image suddenly appeared at the dark Void Gates. According to the people¡¯s observations, these images¡­ were a panoramic live broadcast of the chosen ones from various countries! This appearance once again sparked a global debate. Feng: [Look at the long grass. Why does this feel like the wilderness in the movies?] Man of Heaven: [All heroes seem to have suddenly disappeared and then appeared in the wilderness.] Xiaoxiao: [F*ck! I just saw a hero from Eagle Country in the live stream. He actually brought a sniper rifle there.] Culinary God: [What is this? There was a hero from Nashland who had a long sword, a Gatling gun, a sniper rifle, a pistol, and a grenade tied to his body¡­ He had all kinds of weapons!] Wind: [F*ck! That¡¯s awesome! Where are our heroes?] Silly Laughter: [By the way, where¡¯s Hua Nation¡¯s hero? Why aren¡¯t there any images from the Void Gate?] Fallen Leaf: [Yeah! What about the live stream? Could it be that no one from Hua Nation was selected?] Aihua: [What should we do then? Are we all going to die?] Wind: [I don¡¯t want to die yet.] ¡­ While everyone was discussing and feeling terrified, the live stream of Hua Nation¡¯s Void Gate finally began to shake. In the next moment¡­ A patch of barren grassland that was half the height of a person appeared in everyone¡¯s sight. The scene changed slightly to a tall and handsome man. Seeing this¡­ Countless cameras were focused and synchronized to all the major online live broadcast rooms. Love: [Is this the hero of Hua Nation? He looks quite handsome.] Flower: [Handsome? That¡¯s right! He¡¯s indeed very handsome. However, other than being handsome, does he have any other merits? [All of us¡­ even the entire country was looking for him, wanting to give him the best training and the best weapons so that he could perform well in the Otherworld and prevent the arrival of the apocalypse. [But he never appeared!] Family: [Ah, look at his clothes. He definitely wasn¡¯t living in a mountain village without internet!] Seven Lotus Seeds: [Oh no, he seems to be the only hero in our country! Although he¡¯s handsome, this is the Otherworld. He didn¡¯t receive any training and didn¡¯t bring any weapons¡­ It¡¯s over. Our doomsday is coming.] 123 Blockhead: [Why?! Why didn¡¯t he take the initiative to say that he was chosen earlier?] Red: [This kind of person is the most selfish and cowardly!] ¡­ This time, the live broadcast was not only watched by ordinary people but also by everyone in the Jingbei conference room. When the man sitting at the top saw the person in the live stream, his pupils constricted slightly. The people below were discussing in low voices. ¡°Fortunately, there¡¯s someone from China who was chosen¡­¡± ¡°Yes, unfortunately, from the current situation, he¡¯s the only chosen one.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t he tell us?¡± ¡°I hope that this won¡¯t require a show of strength in the Otherworld. Sigh.¡± ¡­ When everyone said this, their faces could not help but reveal a hint of bitterness. Did not require a show of strength? In the unknown wilderness, were there no poisonous insects or ferocious beasts? What if their hero met people from other countries? Almost everyone had firearms in their hands! Wherever there were people, there would be fights. If the other party had some bad intentions, it would definitely be a very terrifying thing. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to investigate the specific information of this hero,¡± someone said. At this moment¡­ The man who had been sitting on the main seat and had not spoken all this time said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to investigate. He¡¯s Professor Lin Fan.¡± Silence. The entire venue fell silent. The chosen one was Professor Lin Fan! ¡­ On the other hand, Hua Nation¡¯s top TV station had already prepared a grand live broadcast venue for this incident. When the scene appeared at the Void Gate, the TV station also began a live broadcast on the internet. As the host of this live broadcast, Xiao Bing smiled and said, ¡°Three days ago, everyone in the world heard the doomsday declaration at the same time. Because of this incident, many of us experienced panic, fear, and other emotions. ¡°However, for the time being, we still don¡¯t know if the apocalypse will really happen. ¡°However, even if the doomsday declaration is completely true, we don¡¯t have to be too afraid. ¡°Because there are still heroes protecting us! ¡°Now, the hero of Hua Nation¡­ has appeared!¡± Xiao Bing¡¯s voice was full of fighting spirit, as if it had the magical power to pull back the people who had fallen into the darkness. In the next moment¡­ Xiao Bing¡¯s mouth was wide open as she cried out in surprise, ¡°How could it be him?!¡± Not long ago, Xiao Bing went to Swede as a representative to broadcast the Nobel Prize awards ceremony live. Even though the cameras did not capture Lin Fan¡¯s face, Xiao Bing had seen Lin Fan with her own eyes! Now, Lin Fan had actually appeared in the live stream. In other words¡­ Lin Fan was the chosen one! He was the great existence who won four Nobel Prizes! Any live stream of videos from the Otherworld would attract the attention of many people. This TV station was an authoritative media outlet, and it was always the center of attention. In addition, Xiao Bing was currently the most famous host. This directly produced a qualitative change and attracted the attention of countless people. After the audience heard Xiao Bing¡¯s surprise, countless people sent out messages. Instantly, the entire live broadcast room was filled with dense bullet comments. Moonrise Willow Head: [Xiao Bing, do you know this chosen person?] Kyushu: [Who is he?] Prince: [Xiao Bing, tell me quickly.] Wan: [Xiao Bing, please speak quickly.] Person in the Wind: [Who is he?] Emperor: [Who is he?] One, Two, Three: [Who is he?] ¡­ Lin Fan was completely oblivious to everyone¡¯s shock, discussion, and doubts. The moment he arrived in the Otherworld, a crisp voice suddenly sounded in his mind. [Ding! You¡¯ve triggered mission¡ªrest for six hours. After entering the Otherworld for the first time and resting for six hours, you can truly feel the air, temperature, and humidity of the Otherworld. This is how you show respect for the environment. Reward: Skill¡ªGravity Control!] Gravity Control? Even though Lin Fan could not see the exact use of this skill, just looking at this name made his eyes light up. After resting for six hours, he could obtain a skill. Not bad! Lin Fan sat down on the ground without any hesitation. He looked at the blue sky, looked into the distance, and listened to the birds and bugs whispering to each other. He did not feel bored. He even felt a different kind of relief. Chapter 569 - 569 Identity; Remarks! 569 Identity; Remarks! After Lin Fan sat down to rest, Xiao Bing finally came back to her senses. She looked at the countless bullet comments asking about Lin Fan. She opened her mouth but did not dare to answer casually. She had received orders from her superiors to not interview or reveal Lin Fan¡¯s identity. At this moment, Xiao Bing¡¯s earpiece rang with the leader¡¯s dull voice. ¡°You can tell everyone Lin Fan¡¯s identity.¡± The leaders all knew that Lin Fan did not like to be exposed in front of the cameras. Therefore, the leaders had been trying their best to facilitate this. However, Lin Fan¡¯s appearance had already been exposed. In fact, he would continue to appear in the live broadcast for a long time. Since that was the case, there was no problem with revealing Lin Fan¡¯s identity. In addition, after it was made public, it might even increase the confidence of the masses. This was a good thing for society. After Xiao Bing received authorization from the higher-ups, she stopped hesitating and said loudly, ¡°Hua Nation¡¯s hero is Professor Lin Fan!¡± As soon as she said that, the entire live broadcast room instantly fell silent. A moment later, there was a barrage of comments. Irene: [F*ck!] Ma Yizheng: [F*ck!] Mid-Air Wilderness: [F*ck!] Happiness: [F*ck!] ¡­ It was no wonder that the audience would react as such. Lin Fan¡¯s name was too famous. He solved many unsolved math problems, invented the earthquake detection device, the human islet recovery drug, two types of super batteries, the carbon-based engraving machine, the gaming helmet, and other high-tech products¡­ Not long ago, he won four Nobel Prizes at the same time! This made Lin Fan the greatest scholar in the world, the pride of all Hua people. Now, everyone realized that Lin Fan was the only person from Hua Nation who had been chosen to enter the Otherworld. How could they not be surprised and excited? Ma Da: [God Lin Fan is the chosen one. We¡¯re saved!] Falling From the Sky: [That¡¯s right! God Lin Fan is omnipotent. He can definitely prevent us from heading toward the apocalypse.] Love, Love, Love: [That¡¯s great!] Eldest Princess: [Lin Fan, good luck! I¡¯ll pray for you.] Youth Is Gone: [Haha! I know why Hua Nation only has one representative! That¡¯s because the person chosen is God Lin Fan! This trip to the Otherworld will definitely be a competition of wisdom. Hua Nation will definitely win!] Servant: [The twists and turns, the twists and turns!] ¡­ As expected, after announcing Lin Fan¡¯s information, many people¡¯s moods improved. They were filled with hope for the future. However, this hope did not last long. It was because they saw¡­ Lin Fan sitting down in the same spot. Moreover, he sat there for several hours. One in Ten Thousand: [What¡¯s wrong with God Lin Fan?] Song Ren: [I don¡¯t know.] Big Wind: [Xiao Bing, tell me what happened to God Lin Fan.] Chaos: [Is God Lin Fan feeling unwell?] Dragon: [Is he thinking about something?] Xiao Bing opened her mouth and found a lame reason after a while. ¡°Maybe Professor Lin is a little unaccustomed to the new world. After all, he suddenly went from Earth to another world.¡± Winter Melon Skin: [I see.] Red Man: [I hope that God Lin Fan can get well soon. Pray for him.] Rich: [Pray for God Lin Fan.] ¡­ Song Family: [There¡¯s a blog post on God Lin Fan¡¯s actions. I¡¯m copying it here for everyone to read.] Ai Jin: [Lin Fan is the greatest scholar in the world! This is his strength, but at the same time, it¡¯s also his weakness. [Because all scholars are firm and confident. [They believe that they can create and change everything. [However, a god that they can¡¯t understand suddenly appeared one day. [In fact, the god even brought them into another world. [Thus, their confidence and their hearts instantly shattered like glass that had been hit hard. [This can explain why Lin Fan didn¡¯t report himself after he became the chosen one. [At the same time, it can also explain why Lin Fan is just sitting there without moving at all. [He has completely given up! [Unfortunately, there¡¯s only one person from Hua Nation who was chosen. [Everyone, please cherish your last moments!] Yellow Man: [I think that his analysis seems to make sense.] Easy: [God Lin Fan, please stand up!] Farewell: [God Lin Fan, don¡¯t be dispirited!] ¡­ The hope that had risen in everyone¡¯s hearts began to fall again after the blog post by Ai Jin appeared. Sitting in front of the computer, Ai Jin looked at the increasing number of visits and comments. His grin almost reached his ears. This was all money! Therefore, he was ready to strike while the iron was hot, and his hands kept jumping on the keyboard. Not long after, he posted another blog post. Ai Jin: [I didn¡¯t want to say too much because I already have a Nashland passport, so I¡¯m no longer a citizen of Hua Nation. [However, seeing that there are too many people who want me to continue speaking, I will say more. [I want to tell you some practical problems. [Actually, even if Lin Fan isn¡¯t dispirited, it won¡¯t be of much use. [He¡¯s a great scholar and inventor on Earth. [However, all this is because Earth has a very good infrastructure, and he received the help of countless scholars. [That¡¯s why he was able to succeed. [Right now, Lin Fan is in a foreign world, in the middle of the wilderness. [There¡¯s no basic equipment there, and no one to help him. His knowledge is useless. [A ferocious beast or a venomous snake could take his life. [Therefore, hot weapons are very important. [But Lin Fan doesn¡¯t seem to have any. [In addition, I have a piece of very bad news to tell everyone. [Just now, Hendry of the Eagle Country encountered a scorpion that was as tall as a man and looked like a monster. [Fortunately, Hendry had grenades and machine guns, which allowed him to kill the scorpion. He then received a mysterious reward. [Light shot out from the Eagle Country¡¯s Void Gate, causing the seawater of the Eagle Country to fall. The country now has an additional large piece of land! [In other words, there are not only ferocious beasts in the Otherworld, but ferocious beasts that are much more terrifying than those on Earth. [At the same time, it also shows that the performance of the heroes in the Otherworld is based on martial strength! [Under such circumstances, how could Lin Fan survive without firearms? How should he perform?] After this blog post was published, the number of visitors to Ai Jin¡¯s post skyrocketed again. Countless comments appeared like raindrops. At the same time, the number of Ai Jin¡¯s followers also began to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye. He laughed his head off. Chapter 570 - 570 First Place in the Kill; Reward! 570 First Place in the Kill; Reward! Hendry, who had a machine gun on his body and several grenades around his waist, kept moving forward in the wilderness. His face was filled with a relaxed expression. He did not panic at all. He would even introduce the place to the audience watching like a tour guide. ¡°Hello, everyone in front of the screen! This is the Otherworld. There¡¯s a faint licorice smell in the air, which is very sweet. ¡°Walking here, I can¡¯t help but think of the spring outing not long ago. My girlfriend and I had a great time in the wilderness.¡± At this point, he seemed to think of his girlfriend, and his face was filled with longing. Then, he sighed and said, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that my girlfriend didn¡¯t become a hero. Otherwise, I think this trip to the Otherworld would¡¯ve been even more perfect!¡± He knew that he was being broadcasted live. Firstly, this could relieve his boredom. Secondly, this was also a good opportunity to attract people. Popularity was money! After the trip to the Otherworld ended, he might even be able to earn a lot of money from his popularity. While Hendry was talking to himself¡­ Whoosh! The ground in front of them suddenly collapsed. In the next moment¡­ A giant black scorpion that was even taller than him suddenly jumped out of the ground. Drops of crystal clear liquid flowed out of the scorpion¡¯s black mouth. Seeing this¡­ Hendry was stunned. He had never seen such a huge black scorpion before. At this moment, the scorpion let out an ear-piercing cry. Then, the scorpion raised its malevolent steel pincers and slashed at Hendry. Hendry hurriedly retreated. He narrowly dodged the steel pincers, and a pit appeared on the ground in front of him. Faintly, Hendry could still feel the cold light coming from the steel pincers. Hendry was terrified. He quickly picked up his machine gun and fired at the scorpion. Green liquid splattered everywhere, and miserable screams rang out. The scorpion kept flapping on the ground, trying to retreat. Hendry seized the opportunity and threw out two grenades. Boom! Boom! Broken limbs flew everywhere. The entire world finally returned to silence. Although it had only been a few minutes from the giant black scorpion¡¯s appearance to its death, Hendry felt like a century had passed. His entire body was covered in sweat. He sat limply on the ground and panted heavily. At this moment, he finally understood that the Otherworld was not as easy as a spring outing. This place¡­ was filled with danger! At this moment, Hendry heard an emotionless voice. ¡°You¡¯re the first person to kill a level one Giant Black Scorpion. You¡¯ve obtained a level-one treasure chest. ¡°You¡¯re the first person to kill a level one Giant Black Scorpion. The Eagle Country¡¯s land area has increased by 10%.¡± As soon as the voice ended, an ancient chest appeared beside the corpse of the giant black scorpion. Hendry panted heavily again before looking at the chest with a doubtful gaze. After a moment of hesitation, he finally stepped forward and slowly opened it. The chest opened, and a ray of light burst out. A ball of light appeared in front of him. Hendry heard the emotionless voice again. ¡°Ten points of Constitution. Do you want to use them?¡± Hendry stammered, ¡°Use¡­ them.¡± The next moment, the ball of light entered Hendry¡¯s body. Hendry felt his body squirm. Soon, he looked at his hands in disbelief and cried out in surprise, ¡°Unbelievable, this is too unbelievable! ¡°Audience, you might not believe it, but when that ball of light entered my body, all the fatigue in my body disappeared. ¡°At the same time, I feel that I have endless strength! ¡°My body is filled with power!¡± As he spoke, he looked around, as if he was looking for something to prove himself. Soon, his gaze fell on a rock the length of an arm not far away. He moved it with force, and the rock flew up. Then, Hendry threw the stone to the side and jumped up from the ground. He was actually jumped two meters away from the ground! ¡­ Eagle Country¡¯s live broadcast room. Voss: [He jumped two meters on the spot! Oh my god! This is simply Superman!] WHAT: [If Hendry returns to Earth and plays in the NBA in the future, he¡¯ll be the new basketball god!] Nilton: [Why wasn¡¯t I chosen? I want to be Superman too!] Moss: [Oh, God! Just now, a golden light suddenly shot out from the Void Gate, causing the seawater to drop significantly! Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, lush green grass and trees grew. It¡¯s simply a miracle!] Make: [The seawater receded, and our land area directly increased by 10%!] Duck: [It¡¯s true, everything is true! Hendry is the true hero of our Eagle Country!] ¡­ On the other hand¡­ Hua Nation¡¯s live broadcast was very stable and quiet, as if it was still. Lin Fan was still sitting on the spot, not moving at all. The bullet comments in the live broadcast room were like a heavy downpour, covering the entire live broadcast room. Man In the Wind: [Did any of you go to the internet and watch the video of Hendry killing the Giant Black Scorpion? It was simply too shocking!] Model: [Yeah! Furthermore, Hendry obtained ten Constitution points and became Superman. In addition, Eagle Country has increased its territory by 10%!] 3,2,1, Wooden Man: [Eagle Country might not be affected by this apocalyptic event. On the contrary, it might even grow substantially!] Red: [I¡¯m so envious!] Moon Decease: [Professor Lin, quickly stand up and go fight the monsters!] Autumn Falling Leaves: [Stop shouting. Professor Lin might really have given up on himself like what Ai Jin said. Sigh, why is Hua Nation so unlucky?] Sister In the Sky: [In the past, I thought that Hua Nation was lucky to have Professor Lin, who gave us a chance to stand at the top of the world. Now, I realized that I was wrong, very wrong! Professor Lin succeeded greatly and is now failing greatly!] Rumble: [Can¡¯t we let Professor Lin see what we¡¯re saying? We have to make Professor Lin work hard to fight monsters.] ¡­ In fact, it was not just the netizens who were extremely anxious. The people in the meeting room in Jingbei were the same. ¡°This is really bad.¡± ¡°Professor Lin seems to have suffered a huge blow.¡± ¡°Eagle Country has already verified the authenticity of the doomsday declaration. Moreover, the performance of the heroes is calculated based on their strength. What should we do?¡± ¡°Sigh¡­¡± ¡­ At this moment, the man sitting at the top said, ¡°I believe in Professor Lin!¡± Everyone¡¯s figures turned solemn as they nodded vigorously. Then, they focused on the live broadcast again. ¡­ Some were worried, some were terrified¡­ However, there was also a group of people who were happy when they saw the live broadcast. Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Hu Tian, Han Tian, Qin Yuxuan, and the others just needed to quietly look at Lin Fan and see that he was safe and sound. Chapter 571 - 571 Completed; Discourage! 571 Completed; Discourage! No matter how the people on Earth talked about it and the kind of thoughts there were in their hearts, Lin Fan sat on the ground the entire time. He sniffed the fresh air and felt the cool breeze blowing against his face. He was extremely satisfied. Six hours passed in a flash. At this moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. [Ding! Mission completed¡ªrest for six hours. After entering the Otherworld for the first time and resting for six hours, you can truly feel the air, temperature, and humidity of the Otherworld. You¡¯ve shown respect for the environment. You¡¯ve acquired the skill, Gravity Control!] Then, Lin Fan focused his attention on Gravity Control. [Gravity Control: Able to control 1,000 times the gravity.] Seeing this, Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. It could control 1,000 times the gravity! This was definitely a very good ability. At this moment, he felt that as long as he had a thought, he could easily change the gravity around him. It was just like his own hands and feet. It was very strange. He quietly doubled the gravity around him. Instantly, the grass beside him bent down. This was simply like the power of a god! Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up. He turned around and picked a direction and walked forward. ¡­ In Hua Nation¡¯s live broadcast room. ¡°Professor Lin is up!¡± Xiao Bing smiled sweetly. ¡°I think he has already acclimatized to the environment. Next, he¡¯ll definitely be able to create miracles in the Otherworld, just like how he invented the earthquake prediction device, the super battery, and the carbon-based photolithographic machine!¡± At the same time, the bullet comments in the live broadcast room kept rolling. The Luxury Car Is a Little Hot: [He¡¯s finally up.] Phone: [I hope it¡¯s as Xiao Bing said, that a miracle can be created.] Little Cold Hands: [You can do it, Professor Lin!] One in Ten Thousand: [Professor Lin, you can do it!] Stranger: [Oh my god! It¡¯s too terrifying! Have you seen the video of the Japes hero Ichiro Higashida?] Red and Swollen: [I¡¯ve seen it. The Otherworld is so scary!] ¡­ Ichiro Higashida was a famous swordsman in Japes. After he learned that he had been chosen to enter the Otherworld, he chose to report to the country like everyone else. However, unlike most people, he did not need to learn emergency combat techniques. He was the king of combat. After receiving some firearms guidance, he only brought his longsword and a pistol into the Otherworld. In the live broadcast room in Japes. Yatian: [With Ichiro Higashida from Japes entering the Otherworld, we will definitely obtain countless benefits!] Masanizu-kun: [That¡¯s right! Ichiro Higashida is an extremely powerful Kendo expert. He¡¯s practically invincible in this foreign world!] Huang: [Mr. Ichiro Higashida, you¡¯re the best!] ¡­ Ichiro Higashida continued to move forward in the wilderness. At this moment, a two-meter-tall patterned leopard suddenly appeared in the distance. The patterned panther leaped forward, revealing its ferocious steel claws as it clawed at Ichiro Higashida. Seeing this¡­ Ichiro Higashida¡¯s pupils constricted. He quickly drew his sword to block the attack. However, there was no effect at all. When the steel claw landed on the longsword, it was as if it had landed on tofu. The longsword instantly broke. The strength of the steel claw did not slow down at all as it continued to land on Ichiro Higashida¡¯s body. In an instant¡­ Ichiro Higashida¡¯s head exploded like a watermelon. Red and white sprayed out. His upper body and lower body fell to the ground as if they were tattered. His intestines and internal organs flowed out continuously. Lord Tianmu: [Ouch!] Sakura: [So scary!] Our Encounter at the Train Station: [Ichiro Higashida died a tragic death¡­] Tanaka Taro: [So bloody, so scary¡­] ¡­ At this moment, in the live broadcast room¡­ In fact, an emotionless voice sounded in the ears of everyone in Japes. ¡°The chosen one, Ichiro Higashida, has died. The lifespan of the people in the country has been reduced by one year.¡± Suddenly, a black mist shot out from the Void Gates in Japes. Then¡­ In the hospital, the heart of a seriously ill patient who had just had a successful operation suddenly stopped beating. An old man suddenly fell to the ground and could not get up. A heart patient suddenly clutched his chest in extreme pain¡­ The entire Japes live broadcast room was filled with wails. ¡­ In Hua Nation¡¯s live broadcast room. Black Yellow: [Ichiro Higashida died too tragically.] 1,2,3 Wooden Man: [It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over¡­ I¡¯m going to be depressed for a few days.] Mushroom Chicken Stew: [Ichiro Higashida is dead. The lifespan of everyone in Japes has been reduced by one year. All of a sudden, many people in Japes died! This has a huge impact.] Moto: [Other countries have more heroes. There¡¯s still a chance for them¡­ What if something happens to Professor Lin in the Otherworld? He¡¯s the only hero in Hua Nation.] Qinshan: [Professor Lin, please don¡¯t walk around anymore. Please stay there and rest for a while. I beg you.] World Hero: [Professor Lin, please rest for a while!] True Person: [Professor Lin, please take a break!] ¡­ The bullet comments in the live broadcast room changed from urging Lin Fan to hurry up to urging him to stop and rest. It had only been two hours. It was very strange. ¡­ Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Hu Tian, Qin Yuxuan, and the others kept their eyes on the live broadcast. Their eyes were filled with worry as they whispered prayers. ¡­ Regarding these¡­ Lin Fan did not know that he was having an easy time. He was still moving forward in the wilderness. A sound came from afar. In the next moment, a patterned leopard jumped out. This scene immediately attracted the attention of everyone in Hua Nation¡¯s live broadcast room. ¡°What a big, scary leopard! Professor Lin, be careful!¡± Xiao Bing shouted in fear. The bullet comments were like a storm that instantly filled the entire live broadcast room. Hong Shan: [F*ck! It¡¯s the leopard that brutally killed Ichiro Higashida!] Forget: [Professor Lin, run!] Crow: [It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over!] Man In the Sky: [Professor Lin, be careful of its claws!] ¡­ Lin Fan stood rooted to the ground, as though he was frightened by the huge patterned panther. The people in the livestream watched as the patterned panther was about to use its ferocious claws to tear Lin Fan into pieces just like how it did to Ichiro Higashida¡­ In the next moment, the patterned leopard suddenly felt a huge mountain crushing down on it. It fell straight to the ground and smashed a huge hole in the ground. [Gravity Control, activated! 1,000 times the gravity!] Rocks flew everywhere, and dust filled the air. Lin Fan was still standing there, not moving. However, an emotionless voice sounded in his ears. ¡°You¡¯re the first to kill a level-two Arrow Leopard. You¡¯ve obtained a level-two treasure chest. ¡°You¡¯re the first to kill a level-two Arrow Leopard. The lifespan of the Hua people has increased by 2 years.¡± Chapter 572 - 572 Obtaining Rewards; Encountering Danger Again! 572 Obtaining Rewards; Encountering Danger Again! The dust slowly dispersed, revealing a bottomless pit and an ancient chest. In the pitch-black hole, the figure of the Arrow Leopard could no longer be seen clearly. Of course, it was just that the audience could not see it in the live broadcast room. Lin Fan had night vision, so he could easily see the situation in the hole. At this moment, the Arrow Leopard had already turned into a meat patty, dead beyond belief. Lin Fan nodded to himself. Obviously, he was very satisfied with Gravity Control. Then, Lin Fan placed his attention on the chest and opened the lid. ¡°You¡¯ve received 20 points of Constitution. Do you want to use them?¡± At the same time, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. ¡°Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet of 200 Constitution points.] When Lin Fan heard that, he did not touch the light orb in the box immediately. Instead, he chose to open the red packet. Instantly, Lin Fan¡¯s muscles and bones all twisted. A surging power surged up like a tide. He roughly calculated that this was equivalent to ten bottles of Constitution Potion. Then, he looked at the 20 points of Constitution on the ground and casually accepted them. After all, no matter how small the pie was, it was still pie. Lin Fan did not stay on the spot and continued walking forward. As he walked forward, he casually patted a tree that was as thick as his thigh. The tree fell. This¡­ This was the power of 200 points of Constitution! ¡­ In Hua Nation¡¯s live broadcast room¡­ The entire screen fell silent. After a while, countless bullet comments started to roll. Just Love You: [Does anyone know what just happened?] Autumn Leaf: [I don¡¯t know. I just saw that the leopard was about to hit Professor Lin, so I closed my eyes and didn¡¯t dare to look¡­ Why did the leopard die in the blink of an eye?] Dusk: [I just saw that there was suddenly a big pit in front of Professor Lin. When the leopard came over, it probably fell into it and died.] Wind: [Fell to its death? Hahaha! Professor Lin is really lucky!] Zhang Sheng Li: [I was almost scared to death just now. It¡¯s alright now¡­ Oh right, Professor Lin had just obtained 20 Constitution points!] Heaven and Earth No. 1: [20 Constitution points! Hendry of Eagle Country only obtained ten points of Constitution, and he could almost be said to be Superman. Then, wouldn¡¯t Professor Lin become an existence that far surpasses Superman?] Mo Wen: [That¡¯s great! We¡¯re saved!] Bracelet: [Professor Lin killed the Arrow Panther and obtained 20 Constitution. In addition, he has also increased the lifespan of all of us in Hua Nation by two years! I just noticed that a golden light seemed to have shot out from the Void Gates. Do you guys feel anything special?] The Wind is Blowing: [I feel like my body is a little warm.] Soul Eater: [I thought it was an illusion. I feel a little warm too.] Morning Jog Enthusiast: [Oh my god! My grandfather was given a notice of critical illness in the morning. But he was suddenly able to walk normally just now, and all the data on his body is normal!] Sweet Love You: [All of our lifespans have been increased by two years!] Send You Away: [I can live another two years? Thank you, Professor Lin!] Huanghun: [Thank you, Professor Lin!] Song: [Thank you, Professor Lin!] ¡­ Xiao Bing held the microphone and shouted excitedly, ¡°Professor Lin has killed a level-two Arrow Leopard and obtained 20 Constitution points. He has also increased our lifespan by two years! Let¡¯s give Professor Lin a round of applause.¡± After saying that, she started to clap her hands. ¡­ In the conference room in Jingbei. Everyone in white shirts stared at the live broadcast room. Even though they had all seen countless big scenes and had the ability to remain calm even if Mount Everest were to collapse in front of them¡­ When they saw an Arrow Leopard suddenly charging out and pouncing toward Lin Fan, they could not help but break out in a cold sweat. ¡°Fortunately, there was a pit in front of Professor Lin.¡± ¡°Yeah, otherwise¡­ the consequences would be unimaginable.¡± ¡°God bless Professor Lin!¡± ¡°This can be considered a blessing in disguise.¡± ¡°I believe that everyone will have more confidence in Professor Lin and his future!¡± ¡­ As everyone spoke, their faces looked as if they had just survived a disaster. The man sitting at the top also heaved a sigh of relief. ¡­ Xia Bing, Xia Xue, Qin Yuxuan, Hu Tian, and the others were watching the live stream. When they saw the Arrow Leopard pouncing toward Lin Fan, their hearts jumped up to their throats. They were extremely frightened. When they saw the Arrow Leopard fall into the hole, they heaved a sigh of relief. It was alright¡­ Lin Fan was fine. In their hearts, they did not care if their lifespan had increased. As long as Lin Fan was safe, nothing else mattered. ¡­ Ai Jin was also watching the live broadcast. When he saw that Lin Fan had obtained 20 points of Constitution, a look of hatred flashed across his face. If Lin Fan died, how good would that be?! His eyes darted around, and his hands began to move rapidly on the keyboard again. Ai Jin: [First of all, congratulations to Professor Lin for killing a level-two Arrow Leopard and successfully obtaining 20 Constitution points. [However, what I want to say is that Professor Lin shouldn¡¯t let his guard down. [After all, he could encounter a deep pit by luck once, but not a second time. [We just saw the monsters from the Otherworld. They¡¯re extremely terrifying. [A level-one Giant Black Scorpion could only be killed with a grenade. [A level-two Arrow Leopard could easily break a longsword. [These are not existences that humans can resist with their bare hands. [Even if he has the ability to jump two meters or even four meters, it¡¯s useless!] ¡­ Ai Jin¡¯s blog post seemed to have poured a bucket of cold water on everyone who had just had a glimmer of hope. Many people were filled with sorrow and joined the discussion. Soon, the number of visitors increased again. ¡­ Lin Fan did not care about any of this at all. He walked aimlessly forward. At this moment, another sound came from not far away. Then, a tiger with half-meter-long teeth and a height of about two meters slowly poked its head out. It let out a dull roar as it stared at Lin Fan with its cold eyes. However, Lin Fan did not seem to have seen it at all. He was extremely calm. The giant tiger seemed to feel provoked. In the next moment¡­ It opened its bloody mouth and pounced toward Lin Fan. Seeing this¡­ Everyone watching the livestream felt their hearts tighten. However¡­ Soon, they were all stunned. When the tiger reached Lin Fan, it fell into a deep pit just like the Arrow Leopard and never got up again. [Gravity Control, activated! 1,000 times the gravity!] Chapter 573 - 573 Kill Again; Eating Broadcast?! 573 Kill Again; Eating Broadcast?! The giant tiger fell into the pit, stirring up another cloud of dust. An emotionless voice sounded at the scene. ¡°You¡¯re the first person to kill a level-two Megalodon Tiger. You¡¯ve obtained a level-two treasure chest. ¡°You¡¯re the first person to kill a level-two Megalodon Tiger. The air quality in Hua Nation has improved by 50%.¡± Then, an ancient chest appeared in front of Lin Fan. He chose to open it. ¡°You¡¯ve obtained 20 points of Constitution. Do you want to use them?¡± At the same time, a crisp notification sounded out in Lin Fan¡¯s mind. ¡°Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet of 200 Constitution points.¡± Instantly, Lin Fan¡¯s muscles and bones started to squirm once more. That feeling of being filled with power kept rippling in his heart. Previously, he could easily break a tree as thick as a thigh with a casual slap. Now, what kind of power did he possess? Lin Fan¡¯s lips curled up slightly as he placed his hand on the orb of light in the chest. He received 20 Constitution points! ¡­ In Hua Nation¡¯s live broadcast room. Lotus: [I was scared to death! This tiger that suddenly appeared is too scary.] Feng Family: [Fortunately, there was another deep pit in front of Professor Lin. Otherwise, I really wouldn¡¯t have known what to do.] Bullhead: [I just read Ai Jin¡¯s blog post and he said that Professor Lin wouldn¡¯t encounter another deep pit. What happened? Is it a slap in the face?] Farewell: [There¡¯s actually someone talking about Ai Jin here?] Poor But Not Poor: [Professor Lin has obtained another 20 Constitution points. It¡¯ll be safer for him now!] One Heart to Her: [Another ray of light shot out from the Void Gates just now¡­ The sky immediately turned a lot bluer.] Song: [It¡¯s not just the sky turning blue! The air is also fresher!] Learn to Refuse: [Professor Lin is amazing!] Peace: [God bless Professor Lin!] ¡­ Xiao Bing shouted into the microphone, ¡°Look! Professor Lin has killed another level-two monster, and his Constitution has increased by another 20 points! At the same time, the air quality of our country has improved by 50%! Professor Lin, thank you!¡± After saying that, she even bowed deeply toward Lin Fan with utmost sincerity. ¡­ Ai Jin did not expect that shortly after posting his blog post, Lin Fan would encounter another level-two monster. This level-two monster even fell into the pit and died like the Arrow Leopard. He had said on his blog that Lin Fan would not be so lucky to meet another trap. In the end, he was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye! Ai Jin looked at the comments, which were all mocking him, and his face turned red. At the same time, he hated Lin Fan even more. Why was Lin Fan always so lucky? ¡­ The sky gradually darkened. Not far away, a long-eared rabbit that was half the height of a human was eating wild grass in front of him. Lin Fan had the skill of Fasting. Even if he did not eat or drink for a month, there would not be any problem. However, when he saw the long-eared rabbit¡¯s plump appearance, he could not help but swallow his saliva and slowly walk toward the long-eared rabbit. Even when Lin Fan grabbed the long-eared rabbit¡¯s ear, it did not react. In fact¡­ How could the long-eared rabbit not react? It was simply unable to react. The long-eared rabbit felt as if a huge mountain had suddenly appeared on its body, and it no longer had the strength to move its fingers. [Skill: Gravity Control!] Then, with a thought, a sharp knife appeared in Lin Fan¡¯s hand. Lin Fan¡¯s wrist shook. A bloody mark appeared on the long-eared rabbit¡¯s neck. Soon, the long-eared rabbit¡¯s skin was completely peeled off. Then, Lin Fan chopped a tree trunk as thick as an arm and skewered the entire rabbit. At the same time, he also found a pile of firewood. Next, Lin Fan willed it once more. Honey, salt, 13 spices, spicy noodles, and other condiments all appeared in front of him from the inner space. Three days before entering the Otherworld, Lin Fan was busy accompanying his family. At the same time, he was not completely idle. Lin Fan bought a large amount of daily necessities and filled up the 50 square meters of inner space. He could even take out an iron pot, let alone condiments and knives. ¡­ As the flames rose, Lin Fan twirled the rod and smeared the seasonings on the long-eared rabbit¡¯s body. Not long after, golden oil dripped down from the long-eared rabbit¡¯s body. The delicious rabbit meat began to turn crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making it very tempting. When the aroma wafted out, Lin Fan finally tore off a large rabbit leg and put it into his mouth. It was very delicious! ¡­ In Hua Nation¡¯s live broadcast room. Xiao Bing looked at the rabbit meat in Lin Fan¡¯s hands and could not help but swallow. She could not help but say, ¡°It looks so good¡­¡± At the same time, there were so many bullet comments. Naive: [How could he eat a rabbit? It¡¯s so cute! Please add more cumin!] Big Ming Is Here: [I clearly had a full dinner. Why am I suddenly hungry again?] Hello: [I just saw Nashland¡¯s Harrison eating leaves on the internet. In the end, he¡¯s eating barbecue here? Everyone went to the Otherworld, so why is Professor Lin so different?] Nine Heavens: [Wait, is this a livestream from the Otherworld? Did I go to the wrong place and come to an eating broadcast room?] Optimus Prime: [Professor Lin¡¯s cooking is pretty good. This rabbit looks delicious.] Eastern Dragon: [Pretty good? I was watching Professor Lin¡¯s actions of killing, peeling, and slicing the rabbit very carefully. Everything was done smoothly. He easily disposed of the innards cleanly. [In addition, Professor Lin was also very particular about the seasoning and barbecue. [To be like Professor Lin, it¡¯d be difficult to achieve without three to five years of hard work! [I forgot to mention that I¡¯m the head chef of a four-star hotel!] Flowers Bloom: [Professor Lin is not only a mathematician but also a great inventor¡­ Furthermore, he¡¯s a chef? Awesome!] On Songhua River: [I see you guys are discussing food, but did you guys notice from where Professor Lin took out honey, salt, cumin, and other seasonings?] Red: [I don¡¯t think I noticed it either¡­] Liu: [This is bad. There seems to be movement in front! Could it be that another monster is here?] After this message appeared, the live broadcast room fell into a short silence. All the viewers stared at the live broadcast screen, feeling very nervous. They prayed silently that it was not a ferocious beast. That was because everyone saw that Lin Fan had already walked around the entire area. There was no deep pit at all. If another ferocious beast appeared, it would definitely be very terrifying. The sound was getting closer and closer¡­ Everyone in front of the screen held their breaths and became even more nervous. As for Lin Fan, who was in the Otherworld, he seemed to be completely oblivious to this. He continued to eat the rabbit meat in a carefree manner. Chapter 574 - 574 Li Xianhao, Die! 574 Li Xianhao, Die! Li Xianhao was a middle-level manager of Two-Star Financial Group. Three days ago, everyone heard the doomsday declaration, and Li Xianhao was no exception¡­ However, he was different from most people. A golden countdown appeared on his arm. That was right. Li Xianhao was the chosen one! During the three days¡­ Many big shots that LI Xianhao looked up to shook hands with him, chatted with him, and promised him countless benefits. Li Xianhao knew that as long as he seized this opportunity in the Otherworld, he would definitely be able to soar to greater heights. Hence¡­ Li Xianhao kept working very hard to receive all kinds of training. Three days passed in a flash. Today, when time returned to zero, Li Xianhao brought all kinds of weapons and arrived in the Otherworld under the watchful eyes of many celebrities and people in the country. At first, he was extremely excited. That was because he had arrived in the Otherworld. Then, the promises that were made to him earlier would become reality! The weapons on his body gave him enough confidence and a sense of security. However, after walking for a day in the wilderness of the Otherworld¡­ Li Xianhao had completely lost his confidence. He did not stay in the wilderness for long before he encountered a grizzly bear that was nearly three meters tall. When he saw the grizzly bear, Li Xianhao was scared silly. Its ferocious teeth and terrifying aura¡­ It was too terrifying! A layer of sweat instantly rolled down Li Xianhao¡¯s forehead. He hurriedly raised the machine gun at his waist and fired wildly at the grizzly bear. The bullets that could penetrate the wall hit the grizzly bear, but they did not cause much damage. In fact, they had only penetrated a little of the skin. However, this completely infuriated the grizzly bear. It opened its bloody mouth and roared at the sky. It raised its sharp claws that were like steel knives and swung them at Li Xianhao. Li Xianhao was terrified and hurriedly dodged to the side. However, the big backpack behind him exploded when the steel claw touched it. The food, water, grenades, and machine guns were all scattered on the ground. These¡­ were all life-saving things. However, Li Xianhao did not dare to pick them up. He scrambled forward. He felt the whistling sound behind him and quickly took out the grenade at his waist before pulling out the fuse. Then, he threw it behind him. There was a loud bang, and dust filled the sky. One grenade exploded very quickly, and the other grenades on the ground were also detonated very quickly¡­ A series of explosions reverberated in the wilderness. The continuous explosions finally caused some damage to the grizzly bear, blocking its path. Li Xianhao seized the opportunity to run faster. After an unknown period of time and confirming that the grizzly bear was no longer behind him¡­ He panted heavily and stopped, his face covered in dust. He had lost his backpack, food, water, and most of his weapons. He had met a terrifying grizzly bear¡­ This made Li Xianhao extremely nervous about his trip to the Otherworld. He spent the whole day looking for food and water. He tried to shoot birds. Unfortunately, he had only received three days of training, so his shooting skills were extremely poor. He could not hit the target at all. He tried to find some fruits to eat, but he did not find anything. For the entire day, he did not drink a single drop of water. His stomach rumbled with hunger, and his entire person became more and more miserable. When night gradually descended¡­ Li Xianhao suddenly smelled the smell of barbecued meat, which immediately made him excited. Hence, he followed the scent and continued forward. Not long after, Li Xianhao saw a fire and a tall, handsome Asian man. It was Lin Fan! Li Xianhao hesitated for a moment but still walked forward. He spoke carefully in English, ¡°Hello, may I ask which country you¡¯re from?¡± Lin Fan raised his eyes and spoke in his native language, ¡°Hua Nation.¡± When Li Xianhao heard Lin Fan¡¯s reply, he was extremely happy. He had been stationed in Hua Nation for a period of time, he knew some simple words. In this way, there would not be too many problems in their communication. Li Xianhao said, ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m Li Xianhao from Corea. Nice to meet you¡­ Please¡­ May I know your name?¡± Lin Fan¡¯s eyes turned cold. He had never had a good impression of Coreans. ¡°Lin Fan.¡± ¡°Hello, Mr. Lin. We¡¯re all heroes chosen by Earth. You have a lot of meat here,¡± Li Xianhao asked. As he spoke, he could not help but swallow. After all, they were all Earthlings, and Li Xianhao¡¯s attitude was not bad. Hence, Lin Fan tore off a piece of meat and handed it over. Li Xianhao took the meat and said excitedly, ¡°Thank you.¡± After saying that, he stuffed the meat into his mouth. The rabbit meat entered his stomach, and his mouth was filled with fragrance. Li Xianhao¡¯s mental state immediately improved. Then, his gaze landed on the huge and juicy rabbit meat, hoping that Lin Fan would give him some more. However, Lin Fan did not have such thoughts or actions. Li Xianhao could not help but frown slightly, and he gradually became unhappy. Some people were like this. After others gave them some benefits and suddenly stopped giving them, they would feel resentment. Li Xianhao¡¯s gaze lingered on the rabbit meat for a while before turning to Lin Fan. He realized that Lin Fan did not have a big backpack beside him. He only had a small knife but no firearms. This made Li Xianhao¡¯s mind start to work. ¡®This Hua guy called Lin Fan doesn¡¯t seem to have placed his weapon beside him. ¡®If I use a gun¡­ It seems that I can make him give me this big fat rabbit and even all his things! ¡®In this way, I won¡¯t have to worry about food for many days, and my safety will be more guaranteed!¡¯ As the chosen one, Li Xianhao did not take the time to pay attention to whether the Hua people had taken the initiative to report their identities. In his opinion, all the selected people would definitely undergo similar training to him. As his thoughts spun, Li Xianhao could not help but gulp again. He could almost see himself holding this fat rabbit and gnawing on it. However, Li Xianhao did not know that his thoughts were completely exposed to Lin Fan. That was because Lin Fan had the skill, Heart Listening, which allowed him to easily hear the thoughts of others. Li Xianhao slowly bent his arm, ready to reach for the pistol hidden at his waist. At this moment, Lin Fan, who was eating rabbit meat, suddenly turned around and slapped Li Xianhao. A terrifying power exploded. In an instant, Li Xianhao was sent flying backward as if he had been hit by a speeding train. He crashed into a tree a dozen meters away. Blood and flesh flew everywhere. It was extremely miserable! The entire wilderness suddenly fell into dead silence! Chapter 575 - 575 Professor Lin, You Still Say Youre Not A God?! (1) 575 professor lin, you still say you¡¯re not a god?! (1) pieces of internal organs flew out! in an instant, li xianhao lost his life. in fact, this was normal. one had to know that lin fan had taken many constitution enhancement potions back on earth. not long ago, he had obtained another 440 points of constitution. this allowed his strength to completely surpass that of ordinary people. he was not much different from superman in movies and television. this was the first time lin fan had killed someone. generally speaking, there would be some discomfort. however, lin fan looked at li xianhao who was lying in the ruins and had stopped breathing. he was extremely calm. it looked as if he had just slaughtered a chicken or duck. his vast amount of knowledge and his strength that surpassed ordinary people seemed to have made his heart different from ordinary people. there was an additional divinity that transcended the secular world! then, lin fan slowly turned his body, acting as if nothing had happened. he lowered his head and continued to eat the rabbit meat. ¡­ at the same time, an emotionless voice sounded in everyone¡¯s ears. [li xianhao has died, and the air quality in corea has dropped by 50%.] then, a black mist shot out from the void gates in corea. instantly, the air there became foggy. in the live broadcast room of corea¡­ countless bullet comments rolled out like torrential rain. tian tian oppa: [murder! this is wanton murder!] li min: [he must be punished!] poor ha: [protest!] jinxiong oppa: [you must punish him!] li tian: [he¡¯s extremely evil! this is a murderous demon!] wind: [this is a dangerous person. hurry up and get all the heroes to destroy him together!] obasan: [after he killed someone, he ate rabbit meat as if nothing had happened. demon, he¡¯s a demon!] li en: [and he made the air in our country so much worse. i just took a breath of air and almost choked.] jincheng: [the air suddenly became bad, causing my grandmother to have asthma. she¡¯s being treated now. if anything happens to her, lin fan would¡¯ve murdered her!] mmm: [the air quality has deteriorated, and so many red spots have appeared on my body. they¡¯re so itchy! lin fan is satan! he¡¯s the destroyer of earth! he must be punished!] ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. autumn won¡¯t come back: [why did professor lin suddenly make a move?] abby: [he sent someone flying with one palm. what terrifying power.] old he: [is li xianhao dead?] qin: [his pupils are lifeless, and he spat out pieces of his liver and spleen. he¡¯s dead. oh, i¡¯m a forensic doctor.] tian tian: [f*ck, is he really dead? wouldn¡¯t professor lin be a murderer? what should we do now?] hongzhong: [i just checked the internet. professor lin did kill li xianhao and caused the air quality in corea to drop by 50%. right now, the people there are denouncing professor lin.] pleasant goat: [i really like professor lin, but why did he kill someone?] xiao bing, who was standing at the live broadcast venue, said firmly, ¡°professor lin must have his reason. i believe him!¡± ¡­ ai jin had been paying attention to the live broadcast, especially hua nation¡¯s live broadcast. when he saw lin fan kill two monsters and gain a total of 40 constitution points, he was furious. why was lin fan so lucky? when lin fan caught a fat rabbit, ai jin immediately complained, ¡°why did he manage to find food? why didn¡¯t he starve to death?¡± when lin fan suddenly slapped li xianhao to death, ai jin¡¯s face turned pale, and he was scared silly. however, when he saw the bullet comments in the corean live broadcast room, his eyes began to roll again. after thinking for a moment, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. his hands quickly jumped on the keyboard. ai jin: [murderer! [throughout history, when a tribe or race faced a crisis, they could only survive the crisis if they were united. [the danger of the apocalypse is a universal problem. [therefore, all of us humans belong to one tribe! [only by helping each other can we overcome the difficulties together! [however, when lin fan met someone from the same tribe¡­ [the other person asked him politely, but he answered coldly. [we can¡¯t hurt others without reason. [relying on strength to kill a comrade is unjust! [his methods are cruel and merciless! [he¡¯s rude, lawless, unkind, and unjust! [murderers should be condemned and punished!] hua nation was a country of etiquette, and most people were very kind. they felt that it was wrong for lin fan to suddenly kill someone. after reading the blog post, they could not help but be even more determined. they all started to share and comment. looking at his skyrocketing traffic, ai jin had a smile on his round face. ¡­ in the conference room in jingbei. many men in white shirts were stunned when they saw the video of lin fan killing someone. ¡°40 points of constitution actually brings such great strength?¡± ¡°why did he suddenly kill someone?¡± ¡°it¡¯s a little too much.¡± ¡°why is professor lin so violent?¡± ¡­ at this moment, the man sitting at the top turned sideways and said to the man beside him who had a straight back and sharp eyebrows, ¡°what do you think?¡± ¡°after li xianhao ate the rabbit meat, a cold expression appeared on his face. he must¡¯ve been planning something bad. ¡°in addition, there was a bulge in his waist area. he must¡¯ve had a pistol. ¡°when he reached out for it, professor lin immediately slapped him.¡± Chapter 576 - 576 Professor Lin, You Still Say Youre Not A God?! (2) 576 professor lin, you still say you¡¯re not a god?! (2) ¡°i don¡¯t think professor lin did anything wrong.¡± everyone in the meeting room turned solemn. there was a pistol at the man¡¯s waist, and he had a bad idea. if he had done something bad to lin fan, it would¡¯ve been terrifying. one had to know¡­ hua nation only had one hero, lin fan. if anything happened to him, the entire country would face an unknown disaster! the man sitting at the top immediately said, ¡°we have to clear the hero¡¯s name!¡± therefore, many psychologists, facial expression specialists, and criminal investigation experts accepted interviews one after another. they conducted a systematic and detailed analysis of li xianhao¡¯s actions, psychological changes, and possible consequences. sweep the universe: [f*ck! i actually thought that professor lin was a little too cruel just now. now, i just want to say, professor lin, you killed the right person!] wish: [the experts have revealed a lot. li xianhao did have a gun on his waist! moreover, he kept smiling sinisterly. he definitely had bad intentions.] chong, chong, chong: [professor lin was kind enough to give him rabbit meat to eat, but he actually wanted to threaten professor lin with a gun. this is really the real-life version of the farmer and the snake! good kill!] song: [isn¡¯t it? after li xianhao ate a large piece of rabbit meat and he had a sour expression when professor lin didn¡¯t immediately give him more, i knew that he wasn¡¯t a good person. because i realized that he was actually giving professor lin a hard time.] one, two, three: [fortunately, professor lin made the first move. otherwise, if li xianhao had pulled out his pistol, the consequences would¡¯ve been terrible!] human center: [professor lin is hua nation¡¯s only hero. fortunately, li xianhao didn¡¯t get his way.] man in the wind: [that ai jin actually said that professor lin is rude, incapable, heartless, and unjust. ptui!] designer: [ai jin has always been crooked.] ling: [the last time i saw professor lin resting in the otherworld, ai jin said that professor lin had given up and was completely dispirited. then, the first time he killed the arrow leopard, ai jin said that professor lin was lucky¡­ [now, he said that professor lin is rude, heartless, and unjust. ai jin is simply a scumbag!] summer in the wind: [ai jin keeps slandering professor lin. please ban him!] winter melon: [ai jin keeps slandering professor lin. please ban him!] joker: [ai jin keeps slandering professor lin. please ban him!] ¡­ the hua people were very reasonable, and this had a lot to do with their 5,000 years of cultural heritage and the spread of education. very quickly, everyone reacted and started to understand lin fan. at the same time, they started to attack ai jin. ¡­ compared to everyone¡¯s discussion and understanding¡­ xia bing, xia xue, qin yuxuan, hu tian, and the others were relieved. that was because they had seen lin fan¡¯s immense strength. with that, lin fan would be much safer in the other world. the stars in the otherworld looked much brighter than when one looked at them from earth. looking up at the starry sky and feeling the breeze on one¡¯s face made one feel extremely comfortable. in the blink of an eye, it was the second day. a fiery red sun slowly rose from the distance, dyeing the entire sky bright red and gorgeous. a breeze blew, and all the weeds swayed. ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. although it was early in the morning, there were already tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room. excited: [it¡¯s so beautiful!] tang dynasty poet: [seeing this scene, i can¡¯t help but think of the wind blowing the grass and seeing the cows and sheep.] legend of the dragon: [i really want to go here. it must be very comfortable.] ¡­ just like that, lin fan continued walking forward aimlessly. in the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon. today, he passed by small hills, bushes, and desolate lands filled with smoke and dust. the viewers in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room continued to watch. wang jinfei: [professor lin has walked for half a day, but he doesn¡¯t seem tired at all. he never stopped to take a breath, nor did he sweat a drop¡­ 40 points of constitution are too amazing.] spring water: [this is very normal. after all, professor lin killed a person with one slap yesterday.] xiu: [but i don¡¯t know if you¡¯ve noticed something. other than not being tired at all, professor lin¡¯s clothes don¡¯t seem to be dirty at all. wasn¡¯t there a lot of dust in the place he passed by just now?] xiaoxiao: [yes! i also realized that his clothes look like they¡¯ve just been taken out of the washing machine. it¡¯s so magical.] army: [this reminds me of the clothes in mythological novels! in addition, i also noticed that professor lin suddenly took out knives and various seasonings yesterday. however, professor lin did not bring his backpack, and his pockets seem very flat. he didn¡¯t bring those things with him, right?

as everyone can see, i am currently in the otherworld. ¡°everyone should have seen my strength yesterday. perhaps many people are guessing that i¡¯m a god because of such strength. ¡°however, i have to make it clear that i am not a god. after a pause, he continued, ¡°there isn¡¯t much difference between the otherworld and earth. there¡¯s grass and green trees here. ¡°unfortunately, i like to eat a little fruit every day, and so far, i haven¡¯t found any fruit trees¡­¡± when lin fan said this, he saw an apple tree on a cliff that was tens of meters high. a few big red apples were hanging on it in perfect condition. seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s eyes lit up. then¡­ lin fan jumped up. hendry, who had obtained 10 points of constitution, had the ability to jump two meters high. lin fan had obtained 40 points of constitution. on top of that, he had used many constitution enhancement potions back on earth. he jumped with all his might. it was absolutely terrifying. in the next moment, lin fan appeared under the apple tree on the cliff. [skill: gravity control!] all the apples fell down like raindrops and appeared in his hand. lin fan picked up the apples and placed them on the ground steadily. he opened his mouth and bit into an apple. it was crisp, refreshing, and very delicious. some people might not dare to eat fruits they recognized in the wild. they could not guarantee whether they were poisoned or not. however, lin fan was not worried at all. he already possessed the special ability of being immune to poison. ¡­ from the moment lin fan jumped up to the moment he ate the apple, all of this was shown on hua nation¡¯s live broadcast. the entire live broadcast room was silent for a moment. after that, a barrage of bullet comments exploded. big bear: [professor lin, you still say that you¡¯re not a god?!] stone man: [professor lin, you still say that you¡¯re not a god?!] dumb: [professor lin, you still say that you¡¯re not a god?!] ¡­ nameless: [greetings, professor lin, no! god lin!] five elements lacking money: [greetings, god lin. please bless me to make a lot of money.] mr. huang: [greetings, god lin. please bless me to get into a famous university.]] a wen: [greetings, god lin. please bless me with the lottery!] tianxin: [greetings, god lin. please bless me to give birth to a fat boy!] don¡¯t forget, don¡¯t forget: hua nation has god lin. we don¡¯t have to worry about the apocalypse anymore!] tang song: [that¡¯s great!] was that not so? if lin fan was not a god, how could he jump tens of meters high? if he was not a god, how could he casually make apples fall into his hands? previously, everyone was joking that lin fan was a god. however, at this moment, many people had already taken this matter as a fact. everyone¡¯s mood toward this apocalyptic event¡­ they finally began to relax. Chapter 577 - 577 Beautiful Butterflies; Danger! 577 beautiful butterflies; danger! lin fan had no idea how the audience was reacting. after he ate two apples, his face was full of satisfaction. then, with a slight thought, he instantly placed the remaining apples into his inner space. at this moment, a crisp voice rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! you¡¯ve been in the otherworld for 24 hours. you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ªking¡¯s aura!] lin fan¡¯s expression changed slightly as he focused his attention on king¡¯s aura. [king¡¯s aura: a terrifying aura. with just a raise of your hand, you have the special ability to make people lose their ability to resist. they¡¯ll even prostrate themselves on the ground. even if you don¡¯t move, you can defeat your enemies. your charm will increase.] seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s eyes lit up immediately. according to the introduction, it was almost similar to the domineering aura in an anime! this was definitely a very good skill. at this moment, lin fan felt his body warming up. then, he felt as if he had instantly sublimated into a god-like existence, possessing the magical ability to make all living beings prostrate. this feeling was very good. lin fan was in a good mood as he continued walking forward. ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiongba: [i don¡¯t know why, but professor lin seems to be a little different after eating the apples¡­ i don¡¯t know how to describe it¡­] that¡¯s youth: [i also have this feeling.] people in the jungle: [he seems to be a little different.] 123: [i think professor lin is getting more and more handsome.] moon: [i also think that professor lin is more handsome.]] spring is here: [could it be that apples from the otherworld can be used to enhance looks?] ¡­ naturally, lin fan did not know that after he obtained the king¡¯s aura, many people who were watching the livestream had mistakenly thought that the otherworld¡¯s apples had some sort of beauty effect. as a result, many people yearned for the otherworld even more. ¡­ the chosen hero of ban was a fairy-skinned beauty named ritasha. she was a drawing teacher in ban nation. even though litasha had already undergone three days of emergency training, after arriving in the otherworld, she was still very helpless. last night, she was scared to tears by the chirping of birds. after waking up this morning, her mental state was very bad. this made the ban people very worried about her. ky: [it¡¯s indeed a little too difficult for ritasha to stay in the otherworld.] witten: [so, how are the heroes chosen? there are so many special forces warriors and martial artists in our country. why would they choose such a young and beautiful lady?] jjj: [i don¡¯t expect ritasha to be able to kill monsters anymore. i only hope that she can live peacefully and happily in the otherworld. i just want her to treat this trip to the otherworld as a vacation.] sur: [if it¡¯s a vacation, this place is pretty good.] ¡­ ritasha stumbled past a bush. then, a colorful sea of flowers appeared in front of her. instantly, ritasha¡¯s beautiful eyes lit up. beautiful! it was so beautiful! in ban nation¡¯s live broadcast room. carl: [looks like the otherworld doesn¡¯t have the heart to let beauties suffer too much.] kkkk: [so beautiful! this is what a beauty should experience!] gulu: [this is definitely the most beautiful place i¡¯ve ever seen. i really want to go and play.] ¡­ seeing such beautiful scenery, rita could not help but quicken her steps and run forward. she wanted to get closer and admire this beautiful scenery. she wanted to wander around this sea of flowers. however, just as ritasha approached the sea of flowers, something unexpected happened! the five-colored sea of flowers that swayed with the wind suddenly disappeared¡­ in its place were countless colorful butterflies. this sea of flowers was actually a disguise for these colorful butterflies! the butterflies opened their black mouths and flew toward rita, wrapping her up. about 30 seconds later, the butterflies dispersed, and their colors became brighter. however, ritasha had disappeared. the platinum pendant that was originally hanging around her neck fell to the ground with a dull sound. ritasha was eaten by butterflies! ¡­ the broadcast room of ban nation suddenly fell into a dead silence. for a long time, no one sent any comments. at this moment, an emotionless voice sounded in everyone¡¯s ears. [ritasha, the chosen one, has died. 10% of the country has been desertified.] as soon as it ended, a strange black fog shot out from the void gates. in the next moment¡­ the originally green grass was withering and drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye. in the end, it became a barren desert. as for the hard road and the towering buildings¡­ cracks continuously appeared before they suddenly collapsed and turned into sand that filled the sky. at this moment, on the satellite image, a different orange color appeared in ban nation. it was awe-inspiring and terrifying! ¡­ lin fan was completely oblivious to all of this. he kept moving forward at a constant speed, passing through low hills and decaying shrubs¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. poor people should work harder: [i wonder when god lin will show another miracle.] feng: [yeah, i think watching god lin¡¯s livestream is more enjoyable than watching a fantasy tv show.] my man: [aren¡¯t fantasy shows all special effects? are they even worthy of being compared to god lin?] i¡¯m lin fan: [why do i feel that the path god lin is taking now is a little familiar?]] xiaoxiao: [this is the path that ban nation¡¯s ritasha had just walked!] one in ten thousand: [small hills, bushes¡­ f*ck, this really seems to be the path that ritasha took. i just watched the live broadcast of ban nation.] i have no regrets: [god, you can¡¯t go any farther. there are man-eating butterflies in front.] hello everyone: [i¡¯ve already seen the flowers!] bear: [god lin, don¡¯t go near those flowers. they¡¯re man-eating butterflies in disguise!] homeland: [it¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. god lin is still walking forward. who can remind god lin?!] you¡¯re the same as me: [quick, report it to the officials.] loyalty: [yes, yes! quickly report it! the officials definitely had a way to contact god lin.] ¡­ many countries were against the government. however, hua nation was the complete opposite. the officials and the people were close to each other. hua nation had an excellent ecosystem. in the hearts of many people, there was nothing that the government could not resolve. however, this matter was indeed beyond their ability to resolve. in just half a minute, the officials received more than a million notifications. however, the officials could only sigh. they could not contact lin fan at all. lin fan, on the other hand, did not seem to slow down at all. not long after, a colorful sea of flowers appeared in front of him. Chapter 578 - 578 Escape; Draw a Circle For Home! 578 escape; draw a circle for home! every step lin fan took, it was as though he was stepping on the hearts of countless viewers watching the live broadcast. many people were filled with unease. even though they had been calling lin fan god lin not too long ago, they knew that lin fan was not really a god. the man-eating butterflies were true monsters! they were strange and terrifying! ¡­ some people were worried, while others were happy. when the coreans found out that lin fan was walking toward the man-eating butterflies, most of them were very happy. wanopa: [great! lin fan is finally going to suffer the consequences of his actions! li en: [this is called karma!] obasan: [retribution comes so fast!] two-star employee: [the only pity is that the man-eating butterflies can instantly eat a person clean. his death will come too easily.] li zhen: [i want to record the scene of lin fan¡¯s death to comfort li xianhao¡¯s soul in heaven.] ¡­ after being embarrassed repeatedly, ai jin was getting more and more annoyed with lin fan. looking at lin fan getting closer to the sea of flowers, his face was filled with anticipation. he kept muttering, ¡°walk faster, walk faster! hurry up and be eaten by the man-eating butterflies! ¡°i don¡¯t even think i have enough time to write an article now. ¡°forget it. it¡¯s better for me to just watch the man-eating butterflies eat him! ¡°i¡¯ll post the article later¡­¡± hence, ai jin focused even more on the live broadcast. ¡­ under the watchful eyes of countless people, lin fan was only one step away from the man-eating butterflies. ten meters. nine meters. eight meters. seven meters. ¡­ everyone¡¯s hearts were in their throats. at this moment, the sea of flowers moved. the man-eating butterflies appeared! just when everyone thought lin fan was about to be surrounded by the man-eating butterflies and even be eaten clean, they were stunned. that was because the man-eating butterflies were actually flying in the opposite direction. it was as if a lion had suddenly appeared in front of a group of sheep, causing them to panic and run away. escape? ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiao bing heaved a sigh of relief. then, she said excitedly, ¡°those man-eating butterflies have flown away. professor lin is safe!¡± after she spoke, the bullet comments in the live broadcast room began to increase. qing tian: [uhh¡­ why did the man-eating butterflies suddenly fly away?] truth: [i don¡¯t know.] eraser: [generally speaking, most creatures have territorial awareness. if they suddenly leave the place where they¡¯ve been staying, there are only two situations to explain this. [one, fear. they encountered a terrifying creature that far surpassed them, so they chose to escape. [second, they¡¯re changing homes. they saw more food or a better living environment in other places. p.s. the above is my summary from watching animal world.] message: [no matter what, god lin is fine!] tang song: [it¡¯s fine. this is the best outcome! congratulations to god lin!] bamboo dragonfly: [congratulations to god lin!] send someone off: [congratulations to god lin!] ¡­ hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room was very lively and happy. meanwhile, the coreans¡¯ live broadcast channel was filled with laments. li jinwu: [why? why did that happen? why did those man-eating butterflies suddenly fly away?] oppa: [the heavens are really blind!] li cheng: [good people don¡¯t live long, while bad people live for a thousand years! it¡¯s really unfair.] maha: [don¡¯t be too pessimistic, everyone. lin fan is still walking forward. that¡¯s the nest of the man-eating butterflies. when lin fan reaches the middle, maybe all the butterflies will fly back. [by then, lin fan will be surrounded by man-eating butterflies!] as a result, more and more people started to pay attention to hua nation¡¯s live stream. they were looking forward to it. all of them were looking forward to something happening to lin fan. however, things were often contrary to one¡¯s wishes. even after lin fan walked out of the man-eating butterflies¡¯ territory and continued to walk for a few kilometers, the man-eating butterflies still did not return¡­ the corean audience finally understood¡­ those man-eating butterflies probably would not pose any threat to lin fan. seeing this¡­ the coreans sighed again. ¡­ lin fan had no idea about all of this. he continued to move forward at a constant speed. as the sun set, the sky turned bright red and gorgeous. at this moment, a large bird that looked like an eagle flew across the distance. seeing this¡­ lin fan willed. [skill: gravity control!] in an instant, it was as if a huge mountain had suddenly appeared on the bird¡¯s body. it could not resist at all and fell straight to the ground, losing all consciousness. lin fan walked up slowly and picked it up. then, just like yesterday, he found branches and dead wood. he casually waved his long saber and easily slaughtered the big bird and plucked its feathers. the flames flickered. he spread the seasoning. not long after, the rich fragrance of meat rippled in the wilderness. lin fan stuffed the bird meat into his mouth. the grease from the meat was dripping. it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. it was very delicious. ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. horse face: [god lin is really enjoying himself!] winter¡¯s story: [i suddenly feel that the drumstick in my hand doesn¡¯t taste as good anymore.] confused: [i suddenly want to go to the otherworld to taste the big birds!] 321, scram: [sob!] home: [god lin suddenly took out a knife and so many spices. where did he put them?] ¡­ this bird was simply too big. lin fan had only eaten half of it but was unable to finish it. he burped in satisfaction. looking up at the starry sky, he felt the breeze. the night was silent. the next morning, lin fan stood up, dusted off the dust on his body, and continued forward. at this moment, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! you¡¯ve been in the otherworld for 48 hours. you¡¯ve received a special red packet. skill: draw a circle for home.] [draw a circle for home: after drawing a circle on the ground, you won¡¯t be affected by the wind, rain, noise, and other external environments. in addition, once danger approaches, you¡¯ll be notified immediately.] seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s eyes lit up. these two days, lin fan had been walking during the day and resting at night. however, in fact, he did not manage to sleep at all. this was because sleeping in the wilderness made him feel uneasy. although it would not affect him much if he did not sleep for a few days, it was best to be able to sleep comfortably. now, with this draw a circle for home, he could sleep easily at night. this skill was not a powerful skill. however, this was lin fan¡¯s favorite skill ever since he entered the otherworld. lin fan thought about how he would be able to have a good night¡¯s sleep tonight and could not help but smile. because he was in a good mood, lin fan¡¯s footsteps became lighter. Chapter 579 - 579 Analysis of the Giant Monster in the Lake! (1) 579 analysis of the giant monster in the lake! (1) eagle country¡¯s chosen one, hendry, had increased eagle country¡¯s area by 10% after killing the black giant crab. he had completely become the hero of eagle country. his popularity continued to soar, and the streets and alleys were filled with topics about him. home: [hendry is getting more and more handsome.] mmm: [he¡¯s becoming more and more manly! he¡¯s my type.] mike: [this is what a hero should look like.]] grai: [by the way, who has the latest hero rankings? what¡¯s hendry¡¯s ranking?] wayne: [i do. first place is lin fan from hua nation, second place was william hill from nashland, and third place is weimu from lai nation¡­ hendry is in sixth place¡­] ll: [what? hendry is only ranked sixth? is the hero rankings accurate?] zzzzzz: [there¡¯s a problem with the hero rankings! i know lin fan from hua nation. he was just lucky to kill two level-two monsters and get a total of 40 constitution points.] cha: [if hendry obtained 40 constitution points, he would definitely be much stronger than him!] hero: [hendry now has 10 constitution points. with his muscles, he might not be inferior to lin fan.] deo: [that¡¯s right!] wind: [eagle country is able to gain so much land all because of hendry. he¡¯s a true hero!] ¡­ hendry naturally did not know how the people of the eagle country were talking about him. ever since he killed the giant black scorpion and obtained 10 constitution points, he seemed to have superhuman strength. he was like a nouveau riche who had just received a huge amount of demolition money. he felt like he was floating when he walked. after hendry walked past a small hill, a wide lake appeared in front of him. seeing this¡­ hendry¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. he loved swimming and bathing. ever since he came to the otherworld, all these had become extravagant desires. unexpectedly, his desire could be realized now. without any hesitation, hendry ran toward the lake. he looked at the clear lake water, and his eyes lit up. therefore, he could not wait to take off his clothes and prepare to swim. when hendry touched the lake water, he immediately praised, ¡°the water here is great!¡± however, it was also at this moment that a huge beast that looked like a crocodile but was much larger than a crocodile suddenly jumped out of the lake. it opened its bloody mouth and swallowed hendry without waiting for him to react. blood flowed everywhere, and it was extremely terrifying. the entire scene suddenly turned ghastly and terrifying. eagle country¡¯s live broadcast room fell silent. everyone was stunned in front of the screen. at this moment, an emotionless voice sounded in the ears of everyone in eagle country. [hendry, the chosen one, has died. eagle country¡¯s population has decreased by 5%.] a dense black fog shot out from the void gates in eagle country. some of the people who were undergoing surgery suddenly had their hearts stop beating. they could no longer open their eyes. some old people suddenly fell to the ground and could no longer get up. some of the vehicles suddenly exploded. disasters broke out one after another, and the entire country was completely shrouded in the shadow of death. what happened in eagle country quickly attracted the attention of other countries. all of a sudden, all the countries had a deeper understanding of this apocalypse. the unknown mysterious power was something that humans could not resist at all! as a result, the entire world paid more attention to the actions of the heroes in the other world. they understood that their survival and even the survival of the entire earth depended on them. ¡­ today, lin fan had only strolled around the otherworld for a day. other than passing by the sea of butterflies, he did not discover anything else. the sun was setting. lin fan walked toward a nearby tree, preparing to rest there for the day. at this moment, a large bird flew across the distance. lin fan willed. [skill: gravity control!] in the next moment, the giant bird seemed to have lost its weight and fell straight to the ground. just like yesterday, lin fan took out a knife and quickly removed the bird feathers. he also found many dried branches. ¡°it seems like i haven¡¯t had soup for a long time. let¡¯s make some soup today.¡± as he spoke, lin fan¡¯s mind moved slightly. in the next moment, a clay pot appeared in front of him. this scene was witnessed by hua nation¡¯s live stream. ¡°did anyone see where he took out the clay pot?¡± xiao bing asked in a daze. young master feng: [it seems¡­ that it suddenly appeared.] center: [i can guarantee that there was absolutely no clay pot there just now. moreover, god lin definitely wasn¡¯t carrying a clay pot just now!] emperor of emperors: [i went back and looked at the replay. there was indeed no clay pot there. it just suddenly appeared beside god lin!] qin: [an interspatial ring! this is definitely the work of one of those interspatial rings mentioned in fiction novels.] qing zi: [but god lin doesn¡¯t seem to be wearing a ring.] flower in the wind: [god lin is a god!] ¡­ lin fan did not know about the discussions of the people in the livestream. his mind moved again. then, gourmet powder, chicken essence, wolfberries, ginseng, and other seasonings, as well as a large bottle of mineral water, all appeared in front of him. then, lin fan held the knife in his hand and shook it gently. soon, the bones were removed, and bird meat of uniform size appeared in the clay pot one after another. flames rose. not long after, wisps of fragrance rippled out. lin fan hurriedly filled a big bowl of chicken soup and drank it leisurely. it was warm, comfortable, and extremely sweet. Chapter 580 - 580 Analysis of the Giant Monster in the Lake! (2) 580 analysis of the giant monster in the lake! (2) in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. flower: [god lin is very skilled at cooking.] m: [he¡¯s not just skilled; he¡¯s a chef! his cleaning skills are definitely at the level of a master!] who are you: [god lin is drinking chicken soup. it looks so good.] 27: [please let me know where can i buy the same chicken soup as immortal lin! this is urgent!] heavy rain: [i¡¯m hungry.] jewelry: [compared to chicken soup, i want the bowl that god lin drank from more. if i¡¯m not mistaken, it should be made of the highest quality suet jade. heavens, this is the first time i¡¯ve seen someone use top-grade suet jade to make bowls. it¡¯s too extravagant!] chaos: [top-grade suet jade? perhaps it¡¯s a magic tool. you wouldn¡¯t understand the world of immortals.] ¡­ lin fan was extremely satisfied with this meal. after burping, he slowly got up and drew a circle of about 100 square meters with the tree as the center. [skill: draw a circle as your home!] instantly, lin fan had a strange feeling. the emotions of all the creatures around him appeared in his mind. he was the master of this space. lin fan nodded his head in satisfaction and prepared to return to the tree. just as he took two steps¡­ at this moment, a clear notification sounded in his mind. [ding! you¡¯ve walked 100,000 steps in the otherworld. you¡¯ve obtained 81 sword techniques.] then, countless complicated sword moves appeared in lin fan¡¯s mind. they were profound and vast. lin fan had an extremely peculiar feeling. perhaps he could even block immortals and gods with his skills now! lin fan¡¯s eyes lit up instantly. he had just eaten the delicious bird soup, and now he had obtained such a powerful skill. lin fan could not help but let out a faint smile. then, he moved his will slightly. a sleeping bag appeared in front of him. lin fan did not wait too long and went in. he felt that he would definitely have a good dream today. ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. horse face: [f*ck! a sleeping bag? who dares to say that god lin isn¡¯t a god? where did this sleeping bag come from?] chen zhengyi: [this is the power of god lin!] heaven: [is god lin really going on an adventure? he has a clay pot and a sleeping bag. why does it feel like he¡¯s going camping?] day shift: [isn¡¯t the otherworld a camping site for gods?] pink lover: [i think god lin¡¯s sleeping bag looks good. it must be very comfortable. i wonder if i can buy the same one.] 321, go: [if i¡¯m not wrong, god lin¡¯s sleeping bag should be a custom-made lv model. the price is about 800,000 yuan.] xiaoming: [f*ck! 800,000 yuan for a sleeping bag? he¡¯s not someone you should offend! as expected, god lin is an existence that mortals like us can¡¯t reach.] ¡­ when xia bing, xia xuexue, qin yuxuan, hu tian, and the rest saw the soup and sleeping bag in front of lin fan, they were not too surprised. they all had smiles on their faces. interspatial ring? god? none of them cared about those things. the most important thing was for lin fan to be able to live comfortably in the otherworld. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, the sky was bright. when a ray of sunlight shone through the cracks of the trees and onto lin fan¡¯s face, he slowly opened his eyes. just as lin fan had expected, he slept very comfortably last night and had a good dream. after resting on the spot for a while, he set foot on the road again. in the past, lin fan would go forward every day to kill a few more beasts and obtain some rewards. at the same time, he wanted to make hua nation better and better. now, lin fan felt that it was not a bad idea to walk around more every day. after all, after walking 100,000 steps, he obtained a pretty good reward. there might be more in the future. this filled him with anticipation. lin fan walked past the withered grass and bushes¡­ at this moment, a clear notification sounded in his mind. [ding! you¡¯ve been in the otherworld for 72 hours. you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ªstar meteorite sword!] the next moment, a black sword appeared in lin fan¡¯s hand. seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s expression changed slightly. he casually pulled it out. a cold light flashed, and the withered grass in front of him broke. ¡°this is a good sword!¡± lin fan praised sincerely. yesterday, he had obtained 81 sword techniques. they allowed him to possess incomparably powerful sword skills. however, lin fan did not have a sword. he did not expect to obtain a sword in the blink of an eye. moreover, it was a peerless sword! how could lin fan not be happy? ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. hong: [eh? when did god lin have a sword in his hand?] i like you every day: [what¡¯s so strange about having a sword? yesterday, god lin produced a clay pot and a lv sleeping bag, but we didn¡¯t say anything. [in short, we mortals don¡¯t understand the world of gods!] 321, wooden man: [this sword is really not bad. it¡¯s indeed a good sword.] order: [divine swords? aren¡¯t they just nonsense?] steam: [do you think god lin knows swordsmanship?] middle or west: [swordsmanship? he must have godly techniques!] ¡­ dragon¡¯s world: [this is bad! the hill in front of god lin was where hendry from eagle country passed by. up ahead is a large lake with a terrifying monster in it!] triumph: [f*ck! it really is! will god lin also go to the lake?] return of the king: [what¡¯s wrong with going to the lake? with his magical ability, god lin shouldn¡¯t be afraid of the monster in the lake, right?] heart: [that¡¯s right, god lin definitely won¡¯t be afraid.] arithmetic: [however, it¡¯s best not to go, lest he fail miserably.] ¡­ xia bing, xia xue, qin yuxuan, and the rest noticed the direction that lin fan was heading toward. they could not help but feel worried. ¡­. as long as ai jin was free, he would watch the live broadcast. many people watched the live broadcast because they were worried about the future of earth and because they liked to watch the adventures in the otherworld¡­ however, the reason why ai jin was watching the live broadcast closely was to find a hot topic that would attract traffic. traffic was money! when ai jin saw lin fan come to the hill that hendry had walked past, his expression changed. he had found something to write about! his eyes kept moving as his fingers quickly jumped on the keyboard. after reading through the content he had written, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. he directly clicked on publish. ai jin: [is professor lin really a god? [recently, i¡¯ve been paying attention to hua nation¡¯s live broadcast. [i saw professor lin kill a ferocious beast. [i saw professor lin jump up the mountainside to pick apples. [i saw professor lin walk into the sea of flowers and chase the man-eating butterflies fly away¡­ [i saw professor lin take out a clay pot, a sleeping bag, and so on. [therefore, some people say that professor lin is a god. [therefore, he won¡¯t be afraid of the monster that devoured hendry and is hiding in the lake. [however, allow me to dampen everyone¡¯s spirits with a scientific analysis. [the first two ferocious beasts were defeated by pure luck, and it had nothing to do with professor lin¡¯s power. [as far as i know, after hendry obtained 10 constitution points, he jumped a full two meters with a casual jump. [this was just a casual jump, and it was very likely that it was not his full strength. [someone with 10 constitution points have the ability to do so. [professor lin was lucky enough to obtain 40 constitution points for killing ferocious beasts. therefore, i wasn¡¯t too surprised that he was able to jump up the cliff and pick apples. [as for the butterflies flying away, it could only be said that it happened at the right time. [this involves the habits of the cannibal butterflies, which are very complicated. [the clay pot, sleeping bag, and other things that appeared out of thin air, in my opinion, are not the work of an interspatial ring like those in novels or movies. [we need to analyze it from a scientific perspective. [this is most likely the result of professor lin¡¯s latest invention, a space-folding technology! [i believe professor lin, who invented the earthquake prediction device, two types of super batteries, the carbon-based imprinting machine, advanced artificial limbs, and other ultra-modern technologies definitely has this ability. [unfortunately, professor lin didn¡¯t seem to promote this technology. [finally, i¡¯ll talk about the crocodile-like monster under the lake. [hendry was unable to resist at all and was directly eaten by the monster. [hendry had obtained 10 constitution points, while professor lin has 40 constitution points. [even if professor lin is four times better than hendry, judging from how the monster ate hendry, i don¡¯t think professor lin is a match for the monster. [if professor lin goes to the lake, it¡¯ll be very dangerous!] Chapter 581 - 581 Kill!!! 581 kill!!! originally, many people had faith in lin fan. they thought that he was the hope of hua nation and that he was an omnipotent god. however, when everyone saw the blog post posted by ai jin, they were shocked. they started to lose confidence and started to doubt lin fan. many people joined the comments on ai jin¡¯s blog, and fear and panic grew in their hearts. ai jin did not care about the change in the mentality of ordinary people. he looked at the increasing number of readers and fans, his face was full of smiles. it was all money! ¡­ lin fan did not know what was happening on earth. at this moment, he had already gone past the hill. after walking forward for a while, a wide and clear lake gradually appeared in the distance. in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. quiker: [it¡¯s the lake that hendry encountered!] water: [it¡¯s over, it¡¯s over!] selling kidney: [i hope god lin doesn¡¯t go into the water. yes, god lin definitely won¡¯t go into the water. his clothes and face need to be kept very clean.] men also need to be hurt: [with god lin¡¯s strength, it¡¯s not a problem even if he goes into the water.] world: [didn¡¯t you see ai jin¡¯s analysis?] fool: [although i hate ai jin, his analysis does make some sense. sigh, i only hope that god lin doesn¡¯t go near the lake.] steamed or braised: [that lake is so terrifying. it¡¯s like an abyss. god lin will sense the danger and won¡¯t go over.] ¡­ however¡­ things often went against one¡¯s wishes. lin fan felt as though his soul had been seduced by the lake as he continued walking forward at a steady pace. ten meters. nine meters. eight meters. ¡­ soon, he arrived at the lake. lin fan looked at the reflection on the calm lake. then, he raised his head and looked at the other side of the lake. at this moment, a monster that looked like a crocodile but was ten meters long suddenly jumped out of the water. it was the crocodile monster that had eaten hendry. an extremely terrifying and ferocious aura surged over like a tide. at that moment, the entire world seemed to darken, and the air froze. lin fan seemed to be completely shocked. he stood on the spot and did not move. ¡­ this scene was shown on hua nation¡¯s live broadcast. ¡°professor lin, run! it¡¯s dangerous!¡± xiao bing shouted anxiously.¡± countless bullet comments instantly filled the entire live broadcast room. world ghost: [god lin, don¡¯t just stand there! run!] galaxy: [the monster that killed hendry!] the nine heavens primordial essence: [it¡¯s so terrifying.] half body: [run!] fly with the dream: [run!] suiyuan: [run!] ¡­ the dense bullet comments telling lin fan to run seemed to have turned into a storm, completely covering the entire livestream room. ¡­ the hearts of xia bing, xia xue, hu tian, qin yuxuan, and the others instantly rose to their throats. they were extremely worried. the crocodile monster was too big and looked so terrifying. ¡®please don¡¯t let anything happen to lin fan.¡¯ ¡­ lin fan got closer and closer to the lake, his eyes lighting up. when the crocodile monster jumped out of the water and appeared in front of lin fan, his face was filled with excitement. ai jin¡¯s eyes moved as his hands jumped quickly on the keyboard. he posted another blog post. ai jin: [it¡¯s not that professor lin doesn¡¯t want to run, but he¡¯s too scared to move. this is the instinctive reaction of weak creatures to powerful creatures.] ¡­ at this moment, the crocodile monster opened its huge mouth and gave off a terrifying aura as it bit at lin fan. everyone had no doubt that lin fan would be turned into a puddle of blood just like hendry in the next second. some people even closed their eyes in fear. however¡­ when the crocodile monster¡¯s mouth was only a meter away from lin fan, everyone was stunned. lin fan moved! lin fan did not even lift his eyelids. he used his thumb to push the star meteorite sword in his hand.

[ding! you¡¯ve been in the otherworld for 120 hours. congratulations, you¡¯ve received 300 constitution points.] lin fan¡¯s body squirmed slightly as his strength increased once again. the sun slowly set. just as lin fan was about to find a place to rest¡­ not far away, a three-meter-tall grizzly bear slowly poked its head out of the woods. roar! the grizzly bear roared toward the sky, and the entire mountain forest shook with it. it was extremely terrifying. when the grizzly bear saw lin fan, its lantern-like eyes turned scarlet. then, it opened its mouth wide and rushed toward lin fan like a speeding truck. it wanted to crush lin fan into meat paste. lin fan¡¯s expression did not change at all. he just stood there calmly. just as he was considering whether or not to draw his sword, the heavenly hound behind him suddenly let out a wild bark. then, his body suddenly grew to three meters tall. he arrived in front of lin fan in an instant. then, he swung his claw. its sharp claws slashed through the air. when the heavenly hound¡¯s claws touched the giant bear¡¯s body, it was as if it had touched a piece of tofu. the bear instantly exploded, and hot blood spurted out crazily! the giant bear, which had been so imposing earlier, fell to the ground stiffly. it lost all its vitality.

[lin fan represents the future of hua nation! [he shouldn¡¯t be so careless!] it had to be said that yuan yuan was indeed a writer. with just a few words, people agreed with her. at the same time, many people started to worry for nothing. they even started to blame lin fan. yuan yuan was very happy about this. ¡­ soon, the entire bear was eaten clean. of course, lin fan only ate a small portion of it. the rest were all eaten by the heavenly hound. this was not because lin fan¡¯s food had been snatched away by the heavenly hound. the bear was simply too big. even a small portion of it was enough for lin fan to eat his fill. lin fan looked at the heavenly hound that was wagging its tail and reached out to stroke its head. generally speaking, a powerful beast like the heavenly hound would not let people get close to it easily, let alone let someone touch its head. however, when lin fan touched the head of the heavenly hound, it did not dodge or get angry. instead, it stood on the spot with a look of enjoyment. at this moment, an emotionless voice rang out in lin fan¡¯s ears. [you¡¯re the first person to establish a friendship with a level-six heavenly hound. you¡¯ve received a level-six treasure chest.] [you¡¯re the first person to establish a friendship with a level-six heavenly hound. the lifespan of hua people will increase by ten years.] at the same time, bright lights shot out from hua nation¡¯s void gates. some of the old men who had fallen to the ground stood up very steadily. some people who had heart attacks suddenly recovered. some people who had been paralyzed by a stroke were suddenly able to walk upright. ¡­ miracles appeared in every corner of hua nation. in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiao bing exclaimed, ¡°our lifespan has increased by ten years?¡± the bullet comments were like rain, covering the entire live broadcast room. brother qiang: [f*ck!] zhang: [f*ck!] almost done: [f*ck!] ¡­ first, the entire screen was filled with exclamations. after a while, other comments appeared. pure: [thank you, god lin, for letting me live another ten years!] abandoned: [thank you, god lin, for giving me ten extra years!] fantasy: awesome! the heavenly hound is actually a level-six beast!] fei: [demon king! this is a proper demon king!] blue vest: [no wonder the heavenly hound could kill the giant bear with one paw!] air: [god lin has established a friendship with the heavenly hound. this is too awesome!] honor: [it seems that god lin only gave the heavenly hound some food. oh, he even gave it the beginner fire control technique, and he became friends with the heavenly hound. as expected, people should still adore pets.] flower in the wind: [i thought it was a loss to give the beginner fire control technique to the heavenly hound, but now it seems that it¡¯s not bad a choice!] man¡¯s heart: [a friendship with a level-six heavenly hound. doesn¡¯t that mean that god lin can do whatever he wants in the other world in the future?] ku ku: [there¡¯s nothing wrong with that. god lin can do whatever he wants!] ¡­ it was not easy for yuan yuan to make the public dissatisfied with lin fan and start to panic. in the end, the situation changed again in the blink of an eye. there were even some people who questioned her and asked why she was slandering lin fan. the most important thing was that the lifespan of the hua people had increased by ten years! she was no longer a citizen of hua nation! she could not enjoy this benefit! this made yuan yuan even more unhappy. hence, yuan yuan posted on weibo again. yuan yuan: [look back on history! [history has taught us that friendships between two people are not reliable. [this can also be said for humans and animals. [i even think that the friendship between humans and animals is even weaker than that between humans. [lin fan has temporarily established a friendship with the heavenly hound. [the advantage is that it can light firewood. [but in exchange, he lost a fire control skill? [this isn¡¯t worth it. [in fact, in my opinion, let alone fire control skills, even meat shouldn¡¯t be given to the heavenly hound. [because, at crucial times, meat is survival! [lin fan is still too arrogant, immature, and irresponsible! [i¡¯m worried about the future.] Chapter 587 - 587 Unfortunately, There Are No Ifs! 587 unfortunately, there are no ifs! yuan yuan relied on her influence and quickly attracted the attention of many people. some people who were originally happy because they had increased their lifespan by ten years began to feel worried again. many people joined in the discussion. don¡¯t forget, don¡¯t forget: [that¡¯s right. it¡¯s better to master such technique on your own.] farewell: [sigh, he¡¯s still too young.] ¡­ lin fan was completely oblivious to the comments of the people in the real world. he immediately placed his attention on the ancient chest beside him and casually opened it. [100 points of spiritual energy. do you want to use them?] at the same time, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ª1,000 points of spiritual energy.] instantly, lin fan¡¯s mind became relaxed and clear. then, everything that had happened a long time ago echoed in his mind like a movie. it was clear. this was a special experience that he had never experienced before. lin fan muttered in his heart, ¡®is this the feeling of having an increase in your spiritual energy? it feels pretty good. after a while, lin fan slowly raised his head and looked at the heavenly hound beside him. he realized that it was staring at the orb in the box without blinking. its entire face was filled with desire. lin fan could not help but laugh, ¡°if you want this spiritual energy, then go and touch it.¡± after all, the reason why lin fan was able to obtain 1,000 points of spiritual energy was also because of the heavenly hound. in addition, the bond he had established with the heavenly hound was also considered a friendship. friends should share things with each other. after hearing lin fan¡¯s words, the heavenly hound did not hesitate anymore. it stretched out its paw and touched the light orb. the heavenly hound¡¯s pupils flashed slightly, becoming even brighter. ¡­ the night gradually deepened. as usual, lin fan used his skill¡ªdraw a circle for home. then, he took out his sleeping bag and fell asleep. two days ago, when it was sleeping, the heavenly hound would choose to put some distance between itself and lin fan. humans were afraid of beasts when they slept. when beasts slept, how could they not be afraid of humans? however, today, the heavenly hound lay quietly beside lin fan. both of them were sleeping in the forest. it was very quiet and peaceful, forming an extremely warm picture. at the same time, it also became the new screensaver picture for the viewers. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, it was the second day. as usual, lin fan put the sleeping bag into his internal space and started his aimless journey with the heavenly hound. when he arrived near a small hill, a crisp voice rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve been in the otherworld for 144 hours. you¡¯ve received 200 points of spiritual energy.] lin fan felt a cool sensation in his head, and his entire body felt even more comfortable and relaxed. at this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the surrounding hills. the sound was very soft. if it were someone else, they probably would not have heard anything. lin fan was not an ordinary person, though. however, he was very calm, as if he had not heard anything. in contrast to lin fan¡¯s calmness, the heavenly hound beside him was starting to feel uneasy. its head kept looking around, and it kept turning in circles. the next moment, a black ant the size of a mouse emerged from the hill. then, two, three¡­ in the end, countless black ants crawled out of the hill. hill? no! as the black ants crawled out, the hill collapsed and turned into dust. wherever the black ants passed, the trees, grass, and rocks all disappeared like bubbles. the dense black ants circled around lin fan and the heavenly hound in a fan shape. they kept moving their mouths and antennae. looking from afar, it made one¡¯s scalp tingle. seeing this¡­ the heavenly hound grew more and more anxious. it kept circling around as if it wanted to leave. however, when it saw lin fan, who had not moved at all, it stopped in its tracks. ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. ¡°so many scary ants!¡± xiao bing exclaimed. late: [are these ants?!] people of the world: [in terms of appearance, they¡¯re indeed ants. they¡¯re just bigger. oh right, i¡¯m a biology professor.] who are you: [f*ck! these giant ants are so scary.] wind: [moreover, they easily gnawed on trees and rocks. they¡¯re simply super man-eating ants! god lin, leave quickly!] qingchun: god lin, hurry up and leave!] heaven: [escape!!!] ¡­ everyone knew that lin fan was extremely powerful. he could even kill giant pythons and crocodiles with a single strike! however, the problem was that there were too many ants in front. they were too terrifying. no one could guarantee that he would be able to kill all of them. even the level-six heavenly hound was feeling uneasy! ¡­ when xia bing, xia xue, qin yuxuan, hu tian, and the others saw this scene, their breathing stopped slightly. they all became extremely nervous. it was as if they were surrounded by countless ants together with lin fan. ¡­ naturally, lin fan did not know the reaction of the people in the real world. he remained standing calmly on the spot, not moving at all. suddenly, the group of ants moved. they were like sharp arrows that shot toward lin fan and the heavenly hound. the heavenly hound¡¯s eyes narrowed. it opened its mouth and spat out a fireball. smoke filled the air, and the ants were quickly reduced to ashes. perhaps the flames had a deterrent effect, but for a moment, no ants dared to continue forward. ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. qing pingle: [these ants seem afraid of fire.] mixed power: the heavenly hound can breathe fire. that¡¯s great. god lin is saved.] hope: [ants fear fire!] celebration: [heavenly hound, continue to breathe fire!] ¡­ when yuan yuan saw that lin fan was surrounded by the ants, a smile appeared on his face. good! that was great! lin fan was finally in trouble. if he died, hua nation would suffer a terrible punishment. sure enough, her decision to become a citizen of nashland was the right one. however, before yuan yuan could celebrate for long, the heavenly hound suddenly shot out flames to stop the ants. this made yuan yuan a little annoyed. in her heart, she shouted, ¡®ants, don¡¯t be afraid! hurry up and charge!¡¯ unfortunately, the ants would not listen to her. yuan yuan looked at the bullet comments in the live broadcast room, and her expression changed. her hands quickly jumped on the keyboard as she made use of the time to make another weibo post. yuan yuan: [unfortunately, there are no ifs! [if lin fan wasn¡¯t proud and complacent, then the person with the ability to control fire now would be lin fan himself! [lin fan could then use his fire control ability to resolve this crisis and help hua nation survive the apocalypse. [now, he could only place his hopes on a dog. [unfortunately, there are no ifs!] Chapter 588 - 588 Words Are Laws; Support! 588 words are laws; support! yuan yuan¡¯s weibo post quickly resonated with many people. more and more people began to criticize lin fan. they were filled with pessimism about the future. ¡­ the dense black ants surrounded lin fan and the heavenly hound for a long time. perhaps, they had already forgotten how terrifying the flames were. at this moment¡­ their antennae suddenly shook violently and made creaking sounds. then, four groups of ants surrounded lin fan and the heavenly hound from four directions. the heavenly hound hurriedly opened its mouth and spat out four fireballs. black smoke billowed and burned the four groups of ants. this action¡­ seemed to anger the ants. the ants moved out together, forming a tide of ants. they hissed and surrounded lin fan and the heavenly hound. the heavenly hound let out a roar and spat out flames. the flames were fierce, but there were more ants. finally, many ants gradually passed through the flames of the heavenly hound and quickly moved forward, as if they were going to devour the two of them at any time. the situation was extremely dangerous! the heavenly hound¡¯s forehead was sweating profusely. everyone in the live broadcast room also felt their hearts beating violently. at this moment, lin fan, who had not moved at all, patted the head of the heavenly hound and said casually, ¡°let me do it.¡± for some reason, the heavenly hound had calmed down after hearing lin fan¡¯s words. lin fan looked around and said softly, ¡°burn!¡± in an instant¡­ the bodies of all the black ants were burning with raging flames. they were scorching hot! ¡°destroy!¡± lin fan said softly. as soon as he finished speaking, the flames were completely extinguished. the black mass of ants had disappeared without a trace. there was only faint black ash on the ground, which seemed to prove that they had once appeared here. at this moment, an emotionless voice rang out in lin fan¡¯s ears. [first to kill a group of level-two armored black ants. you¡¯ve obtained a level-five treasure chest.] [first to kill a group of level-two armored black ants. hua nation¡¯s greenery will increase by 10%.] ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiao bing looked at the screen, her mouth half open. she was completely stunned. some of the audience members had a stronger ability to accept it. ice-cold: [f*ck, god lin is too awesome!]] crayfish: your word is law! today, i finally understand what it means to follow the law!] okamoto: [mom, come out and see the gods!] air: [too awesome!] fei: [with god lin in hua nation, why should we be afraid of the apocalypse?] wen jing: [no wonder god lin gave the beginner fire control technique to the heavenly hound. with such power, why would he need the beginner fire control technique?] rong zai: [earlier, that author, yuan yuan, said that god lin was too young, too proud, and too complacent to give the beginner fire control technique to the heavenly hound. i wanna see what else she¡¯ll say now! damn it!] man: [i also saw yuan yuan¡¯s weibo post. moreover, i even scolded yuan yuan in the comments below, but she blocked me.] invisible wings: [what?

why¡­ did lin fan overcome another crisis? why was hua nation getting better and better? she looked at the praises everyone was giving lin fan and felt even more furious. yuan yuan opened her weibo and was about to post something to extinguish the joy in everyone¡¯s hearts. at this moment, she realized that her weibo had been banned. yuan yuan could not help but snort, ¡°you¡¯re not letting me post on weibo? then i¡¯ll go to another place!¡± therefore, yuan yuan opened her weixin account, blog, and zhihu¡­ however, she realized that all of these platforms had blocked her accounts without exception. ¡°f*ck!¡± yuan yuan shouted ferociously. ¡°you can only report me and block my accounts! if you have the ability, send me in! but you can¡¯t do it! because i¡¯m in nashland!¡± in fact, this was also the reason why yuan yuan dared to slander lin fan on the internet after finding out that ai jin had been sent to prison. her water meter would not be checked in nashland. at this moment, a crisp bell rang outside. yuan yuan looked through the peephole and saw two fair-skinned men in suits. she could not help but slowly open the door. then, she changed from her previous malevolence to an extremely gentle and warm smile. ¡°may i ask what you need?¡± in her heart, even talking to fair-skinned people was a great thing. among them, the man who looked stronger handed over his id and said, ¡°hello, we¡¯re from the fbi. we found out that you¡¯re slandering someone online. please come with us.¡± yuan yuan was stunned for a moment and said, ¡°this¡­ i¡­ i only said some bad things about lin fan and didn¡¯t slander anyone. did you guys misunderstand?¡± ¡°there¡¯s no misunderstanding! it¡¯s because you slandered lin fan that we¡¯re arresting you,¡± the muscular man said. ¡°but he¡¯s from hua nation. you must be mistaken¡­¡± yuan yuan said. as she spoke, she seemed a little agitated and accidentally knocked over the vase beside her. the two men immediately pulled out their pistols and shouted in unison, ¡°you¡¯re assaulting the police force!¡± then, they pressed yuan yuan onto the ground so hard that she could not move at all. soon, yuan yuan was taken away. at this moment, a man of a different ethnicity walked over from afar and said to a fair-skinned man in an investigation uniform, ¡°well done! our qing hong sect will support you.¡± ¡°thank you!¡± the fair-skinned man said excitedly. ¡­ Chapter 589 - 589 Promotion; Repaid Wages 589 promotion; repaid wages lin fan had no idea what was going on in the real world. at this moment, he placed his attention on the ancient chest in front of him and casually opened it. a ball of light appeared. then, an emotionless voice sounded in his ear. [300 points of constitution. do you want to use them?] at the same time, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ª3,000 constitution points.] instantly, lin fan¡¯s muscles and bones seemed to have been inflated. they instantly became thicker, and his skin shone with a faint metallic luster. soon, his muscles and bones began to compress and condense, slowly returning to their original state. his skin became fairer and purer. lin fan clenched his fists gently. a feeling of power that he had never felt before circulated between his fingers. he had a very real feeling that a casual punch of his could blow up a tall building. after a while, lin fan slowly turned his head and looked at the stunned heavenly hound. earlier, he was suddenly surrounded by a dense group of armored black ants. immediately after, the armored black ants suddenly burst into flames again¡­ the huge ups and downs seemed to make it difficult for the heavenly hound to digest. lin fan thought back to the scene of the armored black ants charging at him and the heavenly hound not abandoning him, resisting with all its might. he nodded his head slightly and said, ¡°heavenly hound, you can go and use these 300 points of constitution.¡± the heavenly hound looked at lin fan before walking forward hesitantly. the ball of light entered the body of the heavenly hound, and its claws became even thicker. then, an emotionless voice sounded in lin fan¡¯s ears. [first to help a level-six heavenly hound reach level seven. you¡¯ve received a level-three treasure chest.] [first to help a level-six heavenly hound reach level seven. the air quality in hua nation has improved by 10%.] unsurprisingly, an ancient chest appeared in front of lin fan. [50 points of constitution. do you want to use them?] following that, lin fan¡¯s mind rang out with a crisp notification. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ª500 constitution points.] instantly, the muscles in lin fan¡¯s body started to squirm as his strength increased once more. therefore, he allowed the heavenly hound to obtain 350 points of constitution. in the end, he got 3,500 points of constitution? not bad! then, lin fan said to the heavenly hound, ¡°use these 50 points of constitution.¡± the heavenly hound had already experienced the benefits of having a strong physique. after receiving lin fan¡¯s affirmation, it did not hesitate anymore and stretched out its paw to touch the ball of light. after everything was over, lin fan and the heavenly hound continued their journey forward. ¡­ on the other hand, in qing city, hua nation. lin tao, dai weixue, and lin xiaoyao¡¯s family were getting nervous as lin fan encountered one terrifying monster after another. when lin fan killed these monsters and displayed his incredible strength, they were filled with joy. at this moment, there was a light knock on the door. after opening the door, two men in white shirts walked in with gifts in their hands and smiles on their faces. lin tao was a little hesitant. ¡°factory manager huang and chief engineer liu?¡± the two men said happily, ¡°haha, lin tao, i didn¡¯t expect you to remember us. however, calling us factory manager huang and chief engineer liu is too formal. you can just call us old huang and old liu.¡± the two of them were lin tao and dai weixue¡¯s former factory manager and chief engineer. ¡°factory manager huang, chief engineer liu, come in and take a seat,¡± dai weixue hurriedly said. ¡°then we¡¯ll have to trouble you.¡± the two of them laughed. after entering, they first reminisced about what had happened in the factory back then. ¡°you were the top workers and the benchmark in the factory!¡± manager huang said. ¡°although you¡¯ve already left the factory, in fact, the factory had already planned to promote you to managers at that time. in fact, we¡¯ve even kept your positions¡­ ¡°we¡¯re here this time to pay you your salaries for the past few years. in the future, your monthly salary will be paid to your accounts on time.¡± lin tao and dai weixue were obviously stunned. they had never expected that the factory manager and chief engineer would come to their house to give them their salary. ¡°manager huang, we¡¯ve opened a clothing store now. i¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t go to the factory anymore, so¡­¡± lin tao said. manager huang smiled and waved his hand. ¡°it¡¯s okay. it¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t go to the factory. of course, it¡¯s better if you have time to come and take a look around. many old friends miss you very much!¡± after another round of small talk and under the insistence of factory manager huang and chief engineer liu, it was decided that the salaries would still be paid. lin tao and dai weixue looked at the two people who were getting farther and farther away, then looked at the bank cards in their hands. they were still at a loss. however, this was only the beginning. the principals of lin fan¡¯s high school, middle school, and even primary school came to visit. in the end, even the leaders of qing city came to visit the family personally. lin tao and dai weixue understood that this was all because of their son. this was because his son was a mathematician who had solved many unsolved mathematical problems. he was a professor who had invented high-tech technologies such as the earthquake prediction device, the carbon-based photolithographic machine, and artificial limbs. he had even won the nobel prize! in addition, their son was the only chosen hero in hua nation! in the past, these people did not know about these things. however, the moment lin fan entered the otherworld, he was completely exposed! lin tao and dai weixue had left their jobs for more than ten years. why would the factory manager and chief engineer still come and look for them with a promotion and bank cards? as for being model workers and the benchmark, that was completely impossible. one had to know¡­ lin tao was often criticized for being lazy in the past. lin tao and dai weixue did not care about money or fame. at this moment, the only thing they hoped for was for lin fan to return safely. ¡­ five days passed in a flash¡­ in these five days, lin fan did not encounter any other beasts. he brought the heavenly hound around every day and ate roasted meat. it was extremely comfortable. it felt as if they were not adventuring in the otherworld at all. they were just camping. in these five days, lin fan had already walked more than 200,000 steps and obtained two special red packets. in addition to the five special red packets, lin fan¡¯s now had 1,100 constitution points and 600 points of spiritual energy. today, the sun was slowly rising. as usual, lin fan placed the sleeping bag into his internal space and began his stroll. after walking for a while, a clear notification sounded in his mind. [ding! you¡¯ve been in the otherworld for 264 hours. you¡¯ve received an advanced ice control spell.] instantly, lin fan felt his body cool down. at the same time, in lin fan¡¯s field of vision, there were many unique ice elements in the air. lin fan had a very real feeling. as long as he willed it, the ice element would gather quickly. he could form icicles, ice cubes, ice balls, or other ice objects with his mind. it was very magical. with this feeling, lin fan¡¯s lips curled up into a smile. then, his footsteps unconsciously became much lighter. Chapter 590 - 590 Arriving at the Lakeside Again; Frozen 590 arriving at the lakeside again; frozen nashland had more than ten people who were selected. phillus was one of them. he was a retired soldier with good physical fitness and shooting ability. after entering the other world, many of the chosen ones relied on compressed biscuits and licorice to survive. in just a few days, most of them had become sallow and emaciated. they were in a very sorry state. however, phillus relied on his survival skills in the wild, his good physical fitness, and his excellent shooting ability to hunt big rabbits. although he was not as satisfied as lin fan¡­ at least he could ensure that there was meat to eat every day and he would not be too miserable. after a night¡¯s rest, phillus carried his luggage and guns. he maintained his vigilance and kept moving forward. after entering the otherworld, he once encountered a huge gorilla. it had taken him a lot of effort to successfully escape. this made phillus understand that the otherworld was not safe. therefore, he was very careful at every minute. at this moment, a lake appeared in the distance. it was clear and spacious. phillus could not help but swallow his saliva. the rabbits in the otherworld were slightly larger than those on earth. however, even though phillus tried his best to eat sparingly every day, he had already run out of rabbits to hunt. in addition, the drinking water he carried with him was almost exhausted. the lake in front of him was a huge supply station for him. in fact, if he settled down on the lake¡­ he felt that he could live on forever. first of all, he did not have to worry about drinking water. in addition, there would definitely be fish in such a large lake. this was an inexhaustible source of food! phillus first looked around. after making sure that there was no danger, he held the handle of the gun and slowly approached the lake. however, when he was about ten meters away from the lake, phillus suddenly stopped. he suddenly remembered that he was the otherworld. in the unknown depths of the water, there was a high possibility of danger. thus, phillus slowly retreated. however, it was also at this time¡­ a huge tentacle as thick as a tree trunk suddenly stretched out from the calm bottom of the lake and shot toward phillus. phillus¡¯ heart thumped wildly, and he quickly pulled the trigger. blood splattered on the surface of the tentacle, but it did not stop moving forward. in the end, the tentacle wrapped around phillus and dragged him into the lake. no matter how phillus slapped, struggled, or fired, it was useless. after a few bubbles appeared on the surface of the lake, everything returned to calm. immediately after, an emotionless voice sounded in the ears of the nashland people. [phillus, the chosen one, has died. the air quality in nashland has dropped by 20%.] ¡­ in nashland¡¯s live broadcast room. k: [oh my god! what kind of monster is that?] hong: [phillus is dead.] yy: [the air is getting murky!] mike: [the otherworld is too dangerous.] ww: [so scary!] ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. cockroach: [watching god lin¡¯s live broadcast, i feel that the otherworld is very interesting.] i¡¯m afraid of ghosts: [yeah, there¡¯s so much delicious food and such beautiful scenery.] chaos: [if i drive an rv there, i think i can play there for a year!] those years: [don¡¯t think that the otherworld is so beautiful. the retired american soldier just died.] little light: [i saw it too. it was so strange.] cyan: [f*ck! the location that god lin is heading to seems to be the place where the retired american soldier just walked past!] little bridge running water: [that¡¯s true. god lin, you¡¯d better not go any farther.] man in the wind: [god lin went to the lake once and met a giant crocodile. he probably won¡¯t go again this time, right?] ¡­ lin fan did not see everyone¡¯s reminders at all. he walked forward unhurriedly. after passing through a patch of withered grass, a lake appeared in front of him. silence! deadly silence! the heavenly hound sniffed. as if it had sensed something, its eyes became stern. however, lin fan did not stop there. he continued walking forward, getting closer and closer to the surface of the lake. 100 meters. 90 meters. 80 meters. ¡­ lin fan kept taking steps forward. every step he took felt like he was stepping on the hearts of the live audience. when he was only ten meters away from the lake¡­ a thick tentacle suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the lake. its target¡­ was lin fan and the heavenly hound! the heavenly hound barked. its body instantly became three meters tall. at the same time, it extended its sharp claws that were like steel knives and slapped fiercely. the thick tentacle was like a sausage, directly cutting into several pieces as fresh blood splattered everywhere. suddenly, a roar sounded from the lake. then, a dozen thick tentacles shot toward lin fan and the heavenly hound. the heavenly hound either waved its claws or bit down, trying its best to resist. it snapped the tentacles to the ground. the roars of the monster in the lake became even more ear-piercing. at the same time, the surface of the vast lake churned violently. the water level rose continuously, forming a tsunami that was more than a hundred meters tall, like a towering wall of water. there was a roar. the tsunami swept out with terrifying power and slammed toward the heavenly hound and lin fan. seeing this¡­ the heavenly hound¡¯s pupils contracted slightly. even the heavenly hound felt a trace of fear from such a terrifying tsunami. in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiao bing shouted, ¡°god lin, run!¡± my people: [hurry up and leave!] tiny teenager: [run!] boxer: [run! it¡¯s dangerous!] ¡­ xia bing, xia xue, qin yuxuan, and the others clenched their fists tightly and prayed in their hearts, ¡®lin fan, you have to be safe!¡¯ ¡­ perhaps the crowd¡¯s call had worked. lin fan, who had not moved at all, finally opened his eyes. just as the terrifying tsunami was about to hit him, lin fan opened his mouth and spat out a word, ¡°freeze!¡± a gust of cold air spread rapidly. the tsunami that was about to strike down instantly solidified and froze! no! not only did the tsunami freeze, but the entire lake had also turned into a thick layer of ice! inside the ice, one could vaguely see a huge octopus monster and many small fish¡­ none of them could move. at this moment, it was as if space itself had been frozen. it was extremely strange. lin fan pulled out the star meteorite sword from his waist and waved it out casually. [skill: sword 2!] in the next moment, the octopus monster trapped in the ice layer was directly cut into countless pieces. the thick tentacles that were originally wrapped around the heavenly hound also fell to the ground. at the same time, an emotionless voice rang out in lin fan¡¯s ears.

[you¡¯ve obtained beginner water control technique. do you want to use it?] at the same time, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packed¡ªadvanced water control technique.] lin fan¡¯s body felt cool. then, in his vision, there were many water elements in the air. as long as lin fan wanted to, he could gather all the water elements in an instant, forming a torrential rain or even a long river in the air. lin fan had already experienced similar skills before, so he was able to digest this information. then, he turned to the heavenly hound and said, ¡°go and use this beginner water control technique.¡± the heavenly hound was also shocked by the ice that had suddenly condensed in the air. after a while, it reacted and touched the ball of light with its claws. the ball of light entered its body. the heavenly hound¡¯s eyes flashed with a bright light, and its entire body became even more refreshed. after everything was over, lin fan and the heavenly hound did not stay any longer and continued walking forward. not long after lin fan left, the ice melted into water. then, not a single drop was left behind as everything returned to the lake. it was extremely magical. ¡­ taro yamamoto was one of the chosen ones from japes. taro yamamoto had been extremely rebellious since he was young and liked to bully young children. when he grew up, he drank all day long and became a street bully. everyone stayed away from him. after the doomsday declaration appeared, taro yamamoto became the chosen one and became the hero of japes. most of the chosen ones who entered the otherworld would try to get as much food, water, and weapons as possible. taro yamamoto, on the other hand, stuffed a lot of wine into his backpack. this caused taro yamamoto to often get drunk in the otherworld. taro yamamoto poured some wine into his mouth and cursed, ¡°why did i come to such a place? ¡°hurry up and let me go back!¡± at this moment, a pitch-black cave suddenly appeared in front of him. taro yamamoto cursed, ¡°bah! stop it!¡± as he spoke, he raised his machine gun and fired at the cave. flames spewed out, and bullet shells flew everywhere! suddenly, a deafening roar sounded from the cave. taro yamamoto did not show any fear. he continued to shout, ¡°scaring me again!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he took out several grenades from his waist and threw them all inside. there was a loud bang, and dust filled the sky. the entire cave collapsed. then, taro yamamoto heard an emotionless voice. [the first to kill a level-two iron-clawed giant rat. you¡¯ve obtained a level-two treasure chest.] [the first to kill a level-two iron-clawed giant rat. the area of japes has increased by 10%.] then, an ancient chest appeared at the entrance of the collapsed cave. seeing this¡­ taro yamamoto¡¯s eyes lit up. he instinctively felt that this was something good. it might be an antique from the otherworld! it could be worth a lot of money! therefore, taro yamamoto quickened his pace and opened the chest impatiently. [you¡¯ve obtained a body petrification spell. do you want to use it?] ¡°what¡¯s this?¡± taro yamamoto asked. ¡°use it!¡± the light ball in the box directly entered his body. taro yamamoto blinked his eyes. in the next moment, his right hand turned into a stone, and he punched the tree in front of him. the tree shook violently, and its bark shattered. taro yamamoto looked at his right hand in disbelief and laughed maniacally. amidst the laughter, his right hand gradually returned to its original state. ¡­ the japes¡¯ live broadcast room was in an uproar. dong yijun: [taro yamamoto casually threw a few grenades and killed a level-two beast!] moximoxi: [moreover, he got a body petrification spell from the treasure chest. he¡¯s a real superman!] takeda: [indeed, god¡¯s will is on our side.] masaki-kun: [with this, japes definitely doesn¡¯t have to worry about the apocalypse anymore.] getting water up and down: [body petrification¡­ who can stop it?

slaughter it and eat roasted meat!¡± he seemed to think of the taste of roasted meat and could not help but swallow his saliva. lin fan¡¯s face had a weird look on it. slaughter the heavenly hound? eat its meat? ¡°heavenly hound, he wants to eat you,¡± lin fan said. the heavenly hound did not know what taro yamamoto was talking about. however, it understood lin fan¡¯s words. instantly, the heavenly hound bared its teeth in a ferocious manner. ¡°oh?¡± taro yamamoto laughed without fear. ¡°the little guy seems quite fierce! ¡°i like those that resist!¡± as he spoke, he took out the pistol at his waist and slowly approached the heavenly hound. if the distance was too far, taro yamamoto could not guarantee that he could hit it. if the heavenly hound escaped, he would not be able to eat meat. ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. terence: [can someone translate what this japes man is saying?] fish: [oh my god! he actually wants to eat the heavenly hound!] ruthless: [f*ck! he really wants to eat the heavenly hound. he even pulled out his gun.] little thief in the forest: [eat the heavenly hound?

[taro yamamoto, the chosen one, has died. the pollution of japes has increased by 20%.] ¡­ in the live broadcast room of japes. wind chimes: [no!] kudo: [yamamoto is dead.] sand gathering: [pollution! so many impurities! the tap just let out stinky water.] ¡­ in the blink of an eye, two days had passed. over the past two days, lin fan had relied on his life in the otherworld to obtain two special red packets. he had obtained 400 points of constitution and 300 points of spiritual energy. the sun was high in the sky, and a gentle breeze was blowing. lin fan and the heavenly hound continued to roam the wilderness as usual. in the distance, there was a tall forest that appeared very quiet. at this moment, the birds that were originally perched on the trees seemed to have been frightened. they spread their wings and fled in unison, stirring up a pile of fallen leaves. then, a muffled sound came from the forest. in the next moment¡­ a brownish-skinned foreign man wearing a white shirt and carrying a large backpack ran out of the forest in an extremely sorry state. behind him was a lion that was three meters tall and had a pair of sharp teeth that were two meters long. its aura was extremely terrifying. the brown-skinned man saw lin fan and shouted, ¡°go! go! go!¡± clearly, this was to remind lin fan to run. when lin fan heard this, his impression of the brown-skinned man could not help but increase. however, lin fan did not do as he was told. instead, he continued to move forward at a steady pace. as the lion got closer and closer to the brown-skinned man, it was about to slap him to the ground with its claws in the next moment¡­ lin fan pulled out the star meteorite sword from his waist. [sword 1: heaven slaying sword!] a stream of light flashed. the giant lion¡¯s claws, and even the upper half of its body, were neatly slashed from the middle. the giant lion that had been split into two fell straight to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust. boiling hot blood spurted out wantonly. the brown-skinned man was dumbfounded by this scene. at that moment, an emotionless voice rang out. [first to kill a level-two megalodon lion. you¡¯ve obtained a level-two treasure chest.] [first to kill a level-two megalodon lion. hua nation¡¯s pollution has been reduced by 10%.] lin fan did not care about the brown-skinned man who was in a daze. he opened the treasure chest. [30 points of constitution. do you want to use them?] lin fan did not care about these points and gestured for the heavenly hound to use them. that was because a clear notification sounded in his mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ª300 constitution points.] ¡­ after the heavenly hound used 30 points of constitution, the brown-skinned man regained his senses. he quickly wiped away the blood that the giant lion had sprayed on his face and turned around to speak in english, ¡°are you from earth?¡± lin fan said in chinese, ¡°i¡¯m from hua nation.¡± the brown-skinned man became even more excited. he stammered in the hua language, ¡°hua nation?! ¡°so you¡¯re hua, hohoho! ¡°did you use kung fu just now? ¡°i knew that hua nation definitely had amazing martial arts! ¡°that¡¯s amazing!¡± as he spoke, he held the sword in his hand, waving and jumping around. lin fan looked at his comical face and could not help but want to laugh. at this moment, the brown-skinned man suddenly knelt on the ground and said, ¡°my name is sam gilbeven, and i like hua nation¡¯s kung fu the most. please take me as your disciple.¡± his tone was very sincere and serious. however, it was this action that stunned lin fan. lin fan did not know whether to laugh or cry. ¡°i haven¡¯t considered taking a disciple yet.¡± ¡°master, i can endure hardships very well. i beg you, take me in as your disciple.¡± as sam spoke, he knocked his head on the ground, causing his forehead to be covered in dust. lin fan shook his head. ¡°i really don¡¯t want to take in a disciple. also, you don¡¯t have to call me master. just call me by my name. i¡¯m lin fan.¡± at this moment, sam seemed to have thought of the plot of some hua martial arts tv shows and hurriedly said, ¡°i¡­ i¡­ master, if you don¡¯t agree, i won¡¯t get up¡­¡± Chapter 593 - 593 Master; Immortal Technique! (1) 593 master; immortal technique! (1) lin fan looked at sam deeply. ¡°are you going to keep kneeling?¡± ¡°yes!¡± sam said seriously. lin fan said, ¡°then you can kneel. i¡¯m leaving.¡± after saying that, he walked straight ahead. sam knelt on the ground and looked at lin fan¡¯s back as he walked away. he could not help but shout, ¡°master¡­¡± however, it was as if lin fan did not hear him at all. he did not even turn his head back as he continued to move forward. at this moment, a ferocious beast¡¯s roar sounded in the distant wilderness. sam was so scared that his whole body trembled and he shouted, ¡°master, please wait for me.¡± after saying that, sam almost rolled and crawled as he quickly chased after him. ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. ¡°professor lin is still so powerful!¡± xiao bing said excitedly. ¡°he killed a ferocious beast with a casual swing of his sword! moreover, it has also reduced the pollution in hua nation by 10%.¡± pardon: [one slash!] zhao dahai: [hua kung fu! sam is so funny.] are you happy: [that¡¯s right! sam, hua kung fu is just that powerful!] you¡¯ll be cold without my embrace: [want to take god lin as your master? you¡¯re still far from it.] clear as day: [sam, aren¡¯t you going to keep kneeling? hahaha!] ¡­ in a luxurious manor in bai nation. the gilbeven family was sitting in the luxurious living room, staring at the screen without blinking. when sam gilbeven was drenched in sweat, the whole family was heartbroken. when sam accidentally fell to the ground, the whole family felt the same way and almost cried. when sam was being chased by the megalodon lion, the whole family burst into tears. it was as if they had been eaten by the megalodon. ¡°why does our sam have to suffer so much?¡± ¡°why was he chosen?¡± ¡°god, what did we do wrong?¡± ¡°please god, don¡¯t let anything happen to him.¡± ¡­ it was not until lin fan appeared and killed the megalodon lion that the gilbeven family stopped crying and started shouting excitedly. ¡°that¡¯s great!¡± ¡°thank you, hua nation¡¯s lin!¡± ¡°thank you, hua nation¡¯s lin!¡± ¡°hua nation! i have to go to hua nation now to thank lin¡¯s family.¡± ¡°sam will be lin¡¯s disciple in the future. let¡¯s go visit his family!¡± the gilbeven family left immediately. they took a luxury plane and flew straight to hua nation. on the same day, the news of the richest family in bai nation heading to hua nation made the headlines of international financial news. when they arrived at jiangbei international airport, they were immediately interviewed by many media outlets. however, the gilbevens did not have any intention of being interviewed. they boarded the rolls-royce motorcade and headed straight for qing city. at this moment, lin tao, dai weixue, and lin xiaoyao were sitting in front of the television as usual, watching the live broadcast seriously. at this moment, there was a light knock on the door. dai weixue replied, ¡°coming!¡± when the door opened, there were many foreigners in white clothes with brown skin. this made dai weixue a little confused. what was going on? why were there so many foreigners here? at this moment, a bearded gilbeven family member said excitedly, ¡°you¡¯re¡­ grandma, right?¡± grandma? dai weixue¡¯s forehead creased. grandma? did she look that old? ¡°hello, grandma,¡± the person from earlier said seriously. then, everyone said in unison, ¡°hello, grandma.¡± dai weixue¡¯s forehead creased even more. lin tao, who was watching the live broadcast in the living room, heard the sound at the door and asked, ¡°what happened?¡± as he spoke, he slowly left the sofa and came to the door. ¡°hello, grandpa!¡± then, everyone shouted in unison, ¡°hello, grandpa!¡± dai weixue¡¯s and lin tao¡¯s faces darkened. lin xiaoyao, who was originally focused on watching the live broadcast, walked out of curiosity. ¡°hello, aunt!¡± dai weixue, lin tao, and lin xiaoyao were all speechless. were they that old? after a while, lin tao suppressed the urge to hit them and asked, ¡°my foreign friends, are you mistaken?¡± ¡°you¡¯re god lin¡¯s father, aren¡¯t you?¡± lin tao nodded. ¡°that¡¯s right!¡± dean gilbeven said happily. ¡°i¡¯m sam gilbeven¡¯s father. this is his mother¡­¡± dean gilbeven introduced them one by one. then, he said, ¡°we and sam want to worship god lin as our master. so, from now on, you¡¯re our grandpa, grandma, and aunt!¡± when lin tao, dai weixue, and lin xiaoyao heard this, their mouths twitched. when they watched the live broadcast earlier, they thought that sam was very interesting, and they thought that his family must be very interesting too. now, it seemed that this had nothing to do with being interesting! at this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside. then, a middle-aged man in a white shirt strode over. when he saw the gilbeven family, he smiled and said, ¡°welcome to qing city, gilbeven family. i¡¯m the leader of qing city, zhao jiaqi.¡± earlier, dean gilbeven had been speaking in a servile manner. at this moment, he straightened his back and said, ¡°oh, it¡¯s the big leader. hello.¡± Chapter 594 - 594 Master; Immortal Technique! (2) 594 master; immortal technique! (2) ¡°qing city is a good place. it raised my master, lin fan, and my grandfather, grandmother, and aunt. i¡¯m willing to invest 100 billion yuan in qing city.¡± when they heard the first half of the sentence, the foreheads of lin tao, dai weixue, and lin xiaoyao creased again. when they heard the second half of the sentence, their hearts skipped a beat. 100 billion yuan investment? who was this simple-looking foreigner in front of them? ¡°thank you,¡± zhao jiaqi said excitedly. ¡°i thank you on behalf of all the citizens of qing city. thank you, gilbeven gamily!¡± dean gilbeven waved his hand. ¡°no need to thank me. if you want to thank someone, thank my master, lin fan.¡± ¡°yes, yes, yes. thank you, lin fan! thank you, lin fan!¡± zhao jiaqi said. he was absolutely sincere in saying thank you. firstly, a few months ago, lin fan had already pulled in many big projects for qing city, including the airport. secondly, lin fan solved a few math problems and invented the earthquake prediction device, carbon-based photolithographic machine, super batteries, artificial limbs, and controllable nuclear fusion. he had also won four nobel prizes. thirdly, lin fan was hua nation¡¯s hope, hua nation¡¯s hero! and now, because of lin fan, qing city was going to receive 100 billion from bai nation¡¯s gilbeven family! how could he not thank him? at this moment, lin xiaoyao could not help but say, ¡°uhh¡­ what does your family do? is it very profitable?¡± dean gilbeven immediately put on a humble smile and said, ¡°my family owns an oil company, a few hotels, a supermarket, and a few real estate companies in bai nation. we can earn tens of billions of yuan a year.¡± lin xiaoyao¡¯s mouth immediately turned into an ¡®o¡¯ shape. ¡­ naturally, lin fan did not know that he had caused a small commotion in reality after saving a foreigner. of course, even if he knew, he probably would not care. 100 billion yuan investment¡­ in the eyes of others, that may be a lot. earning tens of billions every year was even more unimaginable. however, 100 billion was nothing to lin fan. the money that lin fan was earning every month was probably more than tens of billions. at this moment, lin fan, the heavenly hound, and sam were moving forward in the wilderness. the sun slowly set, exerting all its strength to release its last rays of light. lin fan looked at the forest not far away and said, ¡°let¡¯s rest there today.¡± ¡°yes, master!¡± sam replied. lin fan shook his head. he had told him many times not to call him master. however, sam continued to call him that. now, lin fan could not be bothered to correct him. after a while, they arrived under a big tree. sam quickly opened his empty backpack and took out a can of beef. ¡°master, please eat.¡± seeing this¡­ lin fan nodded in his heart. one had to know that they were not on earth now, but in a desolate and uninhabited foreign world. lin fan did not lack food. however, for sam, a can of beef was definitely the most precious thing on him. this could save lives! however, lin fan did not say anything. the heavenly hound did not make any noise either. it lowered its head and walked into the distance. it did not take long for a giant rabbit to be brought back. lin fan took out a knife and started to cut. the heavenly hound was very familiar with the process, and it brought over a bunch of dead wood from afar. seeing this¡­ sam was stunned. if he had not brought a lot of compressed biscuits and canned food, sam would have already starved to death. he had also thought of capturing rabbits and birds from the otherworld to eat meat. however, he had never succeeded. what was the situation now? an animal that looked like a dog or a wolf had actually brought back a one-meter-tall rabbit. moreover, he was still eating firewood? this¡­ it was hard to understand. was he dreaming again? at this moment, lin fan said, ¡°do you want to eat meat later?¡± sam nodded reflexively. lin fan said, ¡°then let¡¯s go with the heavenly hound and get some firewood.¡± ¡°oh, oh¡­ alright,¡± sam said. although the heavenly hound was powerful, its size was not suitable for picking up firewood. sam was the exact opposite. helping each other in pairs could have a miraculous effect. soon, a large pile of firewood was placed beside the big tree. lin fan skewered the meat and smeared all sorts of seasonings on it. ¡°fire!¡± lin fan said. the heavenly hound spat out a ball of flames, and the withered branches immediately burst into flames. seeing this¡­ sam¡¯s eyes widened in shock. the heavenly hound¡­ could spit fire? however, his shock did not last for long before he was attracted by the rich fragrance of meat. sam¡¯s saliva involuntarily flowed down the corner of his mouth. how long? how long had it been since he last smelled this fragrance? lin fan looked at the golden skin and said, ¡°it¡¯s almost done.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he gave the heavenly hound a large piece of meat. the heavenly hound did not hold back at all. it immediately began to eat heartily, its tail wagging non-stop. then, lin fan tore another piece of meat and handed it to sam. ¡°eat.¡± sam swallowed his saliva and said excitedly, ¡°thank you, master.¡± then, he could not wait any longer and stuffed the meat into his mouth. lin fan looked at the heavenly hound and then at sam. he smiled and shook his head. with two people eating beside him, it seemed that it was easy to affect his appetite. today, lin fan ate more than usual. after eating his fill, sam¡¯s face was filled with satisfaction. then, he took out a woolen blanket from his bag and handed it to lin fan. ¡°master, here¡¯s your blanket.¡± lin fan nodded his head. however, he still waved his hand and said, ¡°use it yourself.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, his mind moved slightly. two sleeping bags appeared in front of him. ¡°use this sleeping bag at night.¡± seeing this¡­ sam was stunned again. a sleeping bag? he had been with lin fan the whole time and was very sure that lin fan did not have a big backpack. he did not even have a small backpack, let alone a big one. where did these two sleeping bags come from? then, sam seemed to have thought of something and said excitedly, ¡°master, is this hua nation¡¯s immortal technique? is that right? ¡°hua nation¡¯s immortal technique!¡± as he spoke, sam stood up and started dancing again. lin fan¡¯s lips twitched. he respected his master and had a good heart. unfortunately, his brain was not very good. lin fan shook his head. he got up and prepared to draw a circle around him as his sleeping spot. however, just as lin fan took two steps¡­ a clear notification rang out in his mind. [ding! you¡¯ve taken 300,000 steps in the otherworld. you¡¯ve obtained the eye of disaster luck.] seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s expression changed slightly as he placed his attention on the eye of disaster luck. [eye of disaster luck: you can see the disaster or luck of the other party. black, purple, gray, white, yellow, red, and gold represent the level of the other party¡¯s disaster and luck. among them, black is the disaster of death, and gold is the luck of miracles. you can easily see the other party¡¯s disasters and luck, and you can display even more charm.] instantly, lin fan felt his eyes go cold. it was a very comfortable feeling. then, lin fan raised his head and looked at sam who was beside him. he saw that there was a ball of red light above his head. it seemed like¡­ the other party¡¯s luck was pretty good in the future. then, lin fan looked at the heavenly hound that was lying on the ground. he also saw a red glow on its head. it seemed like¡­ the heavenly hound¡¯s luck was pretty good too. the eye of disaster luck was not a bad ability. lin fan¡¯s lips curled up, and his mood became even better. then, he drew a circle of about 200 square meters around him. [skill: draw a circle as your home!] instantly, the cool breeze in the mountain forest at night and the noisy cries of beasts in the distance disappeared without a trace. sam had not been sleeping well recently. firstly, it was because the place was empty and cold. secondly, it was because of the noise. at this moment, all these unfavorable factors disappeared? ¡°i¡¯m not cold anymore!¡± sam said excitedly. ¡°there¡¯s no noise! ¡°it¡¯s so comfortable!¡± he quickly attributed this strange change to lin fan and said excitedly, ¡°master, it¡¯s you. you used an immortal technique again, right? ¡°master, you¡¯re amazing!¡± thus, sam started dancing again. Chapter 595 - 595 Singing; Making a Move! 595 singing; making a move! for the next few days, lin fan continued to walk and look at the scenery. at night, he ate meat and slept. his days were very relaxed. this kind of life even made the originally thin sam¡¯s face gradually round in the wilderness of the otherworld. it was really different. ¡­ there were more than ten chosen ones in nashland, and augustus was one of them. augustus was a veteran outdoor explorer. after many people entered the otherworld, they would start to starve after they finished their food. however, augustus used his extraordinary outdoor exploration ability to lead a comfortable life. not long ago, when he encountered a level-two armored rhinoceros, he even made use of the terrain¡­it was cleverly killed, which increased the air quality in nashland by 10%. as for himself, he received 20 points of constitution. augustus felt a little smug. augustus believed that he was chosen because of god¡¯s approval. today, augustus was as usual. after he woke up, he continued to move forward into the unknown. as he walked forward, he kept making introductions and sighing from time to time. ¡°look¡­ this tree is simply too thick and too long! if it was on earth, this kind of tree would probably only be seen in the amazon forest. however, it can be seen everywhere here! this is unbelievable! ¡°what did i just see? this flower is so big, huh? it¡¯s very fragrant and even has a hint of sweetness.¡± ¡­ augustus knew that his life in the otherworld would be broadcasted live on earth. this was a good opportunity to show off. he might even gain countless fans. as a veteran outdoor explorer, he knew very well that fans represented endless benefits. ¡­ augustus¡¯s prediction was not wrong. with his explanation and his wonderful performance in the otherworld, he seemed to be marching toward being the most popular hero in nashland. every day, countless people would come to watch his live broadcast. at this moment, nashland was broadcasting live. the tall and thin host held the microphone and said excitedly, ¡°look! our hero augustus has begun his adventure again. let¡¯s see what he¡¯ll encounter in the other world today.] jani: [augustus is still so powerful!] kukenvito: [others treat the otherworld as hell, but our augustus is like an amusement park!] tn: [augustus is a true hero and earth¡¯s greatest hope!] ssssss: [augustus, charge!] ffff: [not only is he powerful, but he¡¯s also very gentle¡­ augustus, i love you!] ¡­ just as augustus was silently introducing, a dull voice suddenly sounded in the distance. in the next moment¡­ a three-meter-tall rhinoceros with sharp horns slowly poked its head out from the forest in the distance. a cold light flickered in the rhinoceros¡¯ eyes, and it emitted a terrifying aura. if it was an ordinary earthling, they would have been so scared that their legs would have gone weak and they would have turned around and fled without hesitation. however, augustus¡¯ eyes lit up. he was not afraid and said, ¡°look, what did i see?¡± another rhinoceros monster! ¡°last time, because the cliff was too high, i couldn¡¯t eat meat. this time, my physique has increased, so there shouldn¡¯t be any problems! ¡°the size of this rhinoceros monster is probably enough for me to eat for a month¡­ i¡¯ll tell everyone how it tastes after i taste it.¡± the rhinoceros seemed to have been provoked by augustus¡¯ words and roared at the sky. then, it exerted strength in its four limbs and rushed toward him. fierce! it looked like a speeding truck, extremely terrifying. augustus¡¯ heart skipped a beat. obviously, he did not expect the rhinoceros to have such speed. however, after using 20 points of constitution, his speed and strength had been greatly improved. it was not a problem for him to dodge the impact. ¡­ in nashland¡¯s live broadcast room. ¡°what did we just see?¡± the lanky host asked excitedly. ¡°augustus has encountered another rhinoceros monster! haha! let¡¯s look forward to his exciting performance!¡± jj: [great, augustus has finally encountered another monster!] ken rene: [i still remember the battle between augustus and the armored rhinoceros clearly. it was so exciting!] mmm: [augustus, you can do it!] home: [this rhino is unlucky to have met augustus.] h: [go, go, go!] ¡­ augustus was indeed charging forward. the speed of the rhinoceros was beyond his imagination, and it almost hit him several times. gradually, augustus¡¯ forehead was covered in sweat. ¡­ at this moment, lin fan, the heavenly hound, and sam were still strolling in the wilderness. ¡°master, are you bored?¡± sam asked. ¡°why don¡¯t i sing a song for you to relieve your boredom?¡± ¡°you can sing?¡± lin fan was surprised. ¡°yes!¡± sam said seriously. ¡°my singing teacher said that i have a talent for singing. oh right, i can also sing hua songs.¡± lin fan nodded and said, ¡°alright, then you can sing.¡± sam happily said, ¡°okay!¡± ¡°two lions, two lions, running fast, running fast, one has no eyes, one has no tail, how strange, how strange¡­¡± this was originally a lively children¡¯s song, but he used a very bold voice. at the same time, he was extremely serious and iron-blooded. it was as if he was singing a battle song on the battlefield, and it looked very out of place. ¡°master, how was my singing?¡± sam asked. as he spoke, he fixed his gaze on lin fan. his eyes were filled with anticipation. lin fan looked at him and said, ¡°you sang very well. don¡¯t sing again in the future.¡± ¡°huh?¡± sam was stunned. he was about to ask. why did he tell him not to sing anymore if he sang well? at this moment, a loud sound came from afar, attracting their attention. in the next moment¡­ a huge horned rhinoceros appeared in their field of vision. in front of the rhinoceros was a white-skinned man who was constantly fleeing. it was augustus! ¡°master, there¡¯s someone being chased by a rhinoceros over there. it¡¯s about to catch up!¡± sam hurriedly said. in fact, even without sam saying anything, lin fan had already noticed it. moreover, he could also calculate that according to that man¡¯s current state, in one minute¡­ augustus was about to be sent flying by the rhinoceros. at this moment, augustus accidentally kicked a rock, and his entire body seemed to be on the verge of falling down. the rhino seized the opportunity and charged at him. seeing this¡­ lin fan pulled out his sword. [sword 1: draw the sword and slash the heavens!] with a flash of light, the head of the rhinoceros fell heavily to the ground like a huge rock, making a muffled sound. fresh blood spurted out! Chapter 596 - 596 Blame; Wolf-Hearted 596 blame; wolf-hearted the entire space was instantly filled with the thick smell of blood. then, an emotionless voice rang out. [first to kill a level-two unicorn rhinoceros. you¡¯ve been rewarded with a level-two treasure chest.] [first to kill a level-two unicorn rhinoceros. air quality in hua nation has improved by 10%.] ¡°kung fu!¡± sam shouted excitedly. ¡°hua kung fu!¡± sam held the hilt of his sword and kept making sword movements. he also made sound effects with his mouth, which was very funny. ¡°master, what move is this? it¡¯s too powerful! ¡°can i learn this move? ¡°how long will it take to do what you did? ¡°master, when did you start practicing?¡± ¡°master¡­¡± sam was so excited that he asked a few questions. initially, lin fan had wanted to reply. in the end, he chose to give up. lin fan did not know if sam would ask more questions after he answered one. that would be too noisy. lin fan opened the treasure chest. ¡°20 points of constitution. do you want to use them?¡± at the same time, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ª200 constitution points.] lin fan¡¯s muscles moved slightly, and his strength increased slightly. he then glanced at sam and said, ¡°put your hand on this ball of light.¡± 20 points of constitution was useless to lin fan, and they were not very useful to the heavenly hound either. he might as well give them to sam. this way, his efficiency of collecting firewood at night should be much faster. sam had no idea what 20 constitution points were. he could not watch the live broadcast and had never killed a ferocious beast before. however, he had always listened to lin fan. therefore, without any hesitation, he reached out and touched the ball of light. instantly, sam¡¯s power skyrocketed. he looked at his muscles, which had clearly become thicker, and his face was filled with disbelief. then, sam said excitedly, ¡°strength imparting? this is strength imparting, right? ¡°thank you, master! ¡°master, you¡¯re finally willing to take me as your disciple.¡± after saying that, he directly knelt on the ground. lin fan looked at his excited expression and suddenly wondered if he had made a mistake by giving sam 20 constitution points. lin fan sighed. ¡°this isn¡¯t imparting strength, nor am i taking you in as a disciple. this is just a reward for killing a beast in the otherworld.¡± ¡°get up first.¡± sam acted as if he did not hear the words and just said, ¡°yes, master.¡± at this moment, augustus, who had almost fallen to the ground, finally came back to his senses after panting heavily. he wiped the sweat off his forehead and thought back to his previous sorry state. it must have been broadcasted live. no! he had to think of a way to turn things around. otherwise, his image would plummet and he would lose a large number of fans. thinking of this, augustus shouted at lin fan in english, ¡°who told you to attack? mind your own business!¡± lin fan¡¯s brows twitched slightly as a cold look flashed across his face. sam immediately shouted back in english, ¡°what did you say? my master saw that you were being chased, so he saved you. instead of thanking him properly, you actually insulted my master? who gave you the guts?¡± ¡°save me?¡± augustus did not back down. ¡°who needed him to save me? i was just playing with this rhinoceros, just like a cat playing with a mouse! ¡°if i wanted to kill it, i could have done it easily! ¡°the reward for killing him should belong to me! ¡°the air quality in my country should be improved by 10%!¡± augustus¡¯ tone became even more arrogant. these words were originally meant to deceive the audience watching the live broadcast. however, at this moment, it was as if he had chosen to believe them himself. lin fan¡¯s face turned even colder. a cat playing with a mouse? ridiculous! at this moment, lin fan suddenly realized that augustus¡¯ head was completely enveloped by a black aura. death was about to descend! the rage and anger in lin fan¡¯s heart dissipated instantly. after all, there was no need for him to be angry at someone who was about to die. so, lin fan said to the heavenly hound and sam, ¡°let¡¯s go.¡± as he spoke, he walked forward. seeing that lin fan was about to leave, sam did not say anything else and quickly followed. augustus clamored. ¡°what? you¡¯re leaving after snatching someone else¡¯s things?¡± when lin fan heard that, he slowly stopped. his cold eyes swept over. if he said one more word, lin fan would not mind bringing his misfortune forward! for some reason¡­ at this moment¡­ augustus felt as if he had fallen into an abyss. his entire body trembled, and he was so scared that he did not dare to say anything else. seeing this¡­ lin fan slowly turned around and continued walking forward. after lin fan had walked far away, augustus heaved out a sigh of relief. at this moment, he realized that his entire body was completely soaked in sweat. augustus muttered in his heart, ¡®he¡­ who is he?¡¯ ¡­ in nashland¡¯s live broadcast room. carl: [so augustus was toying with the unicorn rhinoceros. i knew it.] fendi gaia: [augustus is simply an excellent actor. he¡¯s my idol!] yy: [augustus is right! the reward for this unicorn rhinoceros should¡¯ve belonged to him. the air quality in our country should¡¯ve been improved by 10%! damn it!] mi ke lan: [that person seems to be lin fan. he¡¯s called god lin.] red: [what god lin? he only relied on luck to kill two ferocious beasts and accumulate strength in the early stages. how could he be as powerful as augustus?!] xiongya: [if augustus had killed the beast this time and obtained 20 constitution points, he would definitely not be inferior to lin fan! damn it!] gene: [lin fan¡¯s a thief!] michit: [that¡¯s right! thief!] ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. ¡°what?!¡± xiao bing said angrily. ¡°god lin saved him, but he¡¯s blaming professor lin instead!¡± as a host, she should not bring in her personal emotions. however, at this moment, xiao bing was a little unable to control herself. the bullet comments in the live broadcast room covered the entire screen like a heavy downpour. water: [f*ck! that fair-skinned person is so inhuman!] men don¡¯t cry: [damn it, he was clearly about to be hit by the rhinoceros before god lin attacked. yet he still said he was just playing around. don¡¯t be shameless!]] grace: [shameless!] mr. huang: [ahhh! i¡¯m so angry! i just went to take a look at nashland¡¯s live broadcast room. many of them said that god lin is a thief!] great fortune: [thief? f*ck! don¡¯t they have any shame?] no fragrance: [are they blind? didn¡¯t you see that fair-skinned man in such a sorry state?] heart cultivation: [such a heartless person will definitely not have a good ending. just watch!] Chapter 597 - 597 Bad Luck 597 bad luck hua nation, qing city. at first, sam did not know what 20 constitution points meant. however, the gilbeven family knew everything. when they saw that sam had gained 20 constitution points, they all shouted excitedly. ¡°superman! sam has also become superman!¡± ¡°god bless us!¡± ¡°thank you, master!¡± ¡°master isn¡¯t on earth,¡± dean gilbeven said. ¡°let¡¯s go thank grandpa, grandma, and aunt!¡± thus, the gilbevan family went to lin fan¡¯s house and called lin tao, dai weixue, and lin xiaoyao, grandpa, grandma, and aunt respectively non-stop. ¡­ just as lin fan had expected, after sam obtained 20 points of constitution, his efficiency in picking up branches had indeed increased. they had barbecue earlier than usual today. in the blink of an eye, it was the next day. the breeze was gentle, and the sky was clear. lin fan, the heavenly hound, and sam stepped onto the road ahead. not long after, lin fan heard a clear notification in his mind. [ding! you¡¯ve spent 312 hours in the otherworld. you¡¯ve received 300 points of spiritual energy.] lin fan felt his head clear up. he was used to this feeling. therefore, he did not reveal a strange expression and continued to move forward unhurriedly. ¡­ on the other hand¡­ augustus came to a forest. there were shrubs, tall trees, and vines¡­ this was a primeval forest. he sighed as he walked. ¡°oh! this tree trunk is so thick!¡± ¡°there are also vines. they¡¯re so sturdy! i dare to guarantee that this is definitely comparable to the iron chains on earth. it¡¯s really hard to imagine how they grew. ¡°looking at these vines, i suddenly think of king kong from the movies! ¡°just like this¡­¡± as augustus spoke, he grabbed a vine and swung forward, directly reaching another vine¡­ he swung from one vine to another, moving forward continuously. in nashland¡¯s live broadcast room. ¡°look at what our hero augustus is doing!¡± the host exclaimed excitedly. ¡°it¡¯s so amazing! he¡¯s simply a real-life version of a superhero!¡± ya: [the two vines are so far apart, but augustus can actually move freely!] make: [augustus is indeed a superhero. he¡¯s so handsome!] julie: [augustus, you¡¯re the best. i love you!] ¡­ augustus¡¯ popularity increased once again. mcjay: [hey you guys, look. isn¡¯t there something in front?] carol: [it seems¡­ like it.] ¡­ in the otherworld. in the forest, a large group of birds seemed to be frightened and fled into the distance. in the next moment¡­ a giant gorilla that was about five meters tall and the size of a mountain appeared in augustus¡¯ field of vision. the gorilla was grabbing the vines and moving forward at an extremely fast speed. it would occasionally let out a loud roar. augustus instinctively felt his heart palpitate. he hurriedly turned around and fled into the distance. however, the gorilla was too fast on the vines. in just an instant, it had already caught up. the gorilla reached out with its huge claws and easily grabbed augustus in its hand as if it was pinching a bug. augustus used all his strength to struggle, but it was as if he was being held by an iron hoop. it was useless. he looked at the gorilla¡¯s sharp teeth. terror and fear engulfed his entire body. he was completely soaked in sweat. his body and even his soul started to tremble. ¡°help! ¡°someone save me!¡± perhaps augustus¡¯ call for help had worked. not far away, a tall figure, a dog, and a brown-skinned man slowly walked over. it was lin fan, the heavenly hound, and sam! augustus thought back to how lin fan had killed the unicorn rhinoceros not too long ago. it was as if he had seen his savior as he shouted, ¡°help! ¡± i¡¯ve been captured. come and save me. ¡°save me.¡± he was afraid that lin fan did not understand. in the end, he even used very bad hua language to call out, ¡°save¡­ save¡­ me¡­¡± sam felt the terrifying aura of the gorilla, and his heart palpitated. he was a little surprised. ¡°master, it¡¯s that person from yesterday.¡± in fact, he was not the only one surprised. lin fan was surprised as well. lin fan had already seen the black aura above augustus¡¯ head yesterday. he knew that augustus would have a fatal misfortune. however, he did not expect that this misfortune would appear right in front of him. lin fan did not seem to see or hear anything. his footsteps did not slow down or speed up. augustus shouted again, ¡°please, save me!¡± perhaps augustus¡¯ voice had disturbed the gorilla. it frowned in displeasure. then, he clenched his fist. ¡°ah!¡± the terrifying power broke augustus¡¯ bones, and his body felt like it was about to explode. the pain was extreme. explosion? that was right! it was an explosion! the gorilla exerted force again. in the next moment, augustus exploded like a watermelon. blood and minced meat flew everywhere. then, the gorilla stuffed the remaining flesh in its hand into its mouth. it was ferocious and terrifying. lin fan¡¯s spiritual energy had long been raised to a terrifying state. he did not care about this. sam¡¯s face turned pale, and he almost vomited. after the gorilla ate augustus, it seemed to think that the taste was not bad. a pair of scarlet eyes landed on lin fan and sam. a ferocious expression appeared on the gorilla¡¯s dark face. then, like a speeding truck, it rushed toward lin fan and sam. it was as if it wanted to knock the two of them away in one go. as the gorilla ran, the entire forest seemed to jump. lin fan continued walking forward as if he did not see or hear anything. 100 meters. 90 meters. 80 meters. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, the gorilla was only ten meters away from lin fan. ten meters seemed very far. however, one had to know¡­ the gorilla was five meters tall! it was not an exaggeration to say that this distance was close. lin fan could even feel the wild wind that the gorilla created as it ran. sam was so scared that he collapsed to the ground. this was not because he was timid, but because it was an instinctive reaction. at this moment, lin fan made his move! he slowly waved his right hand and pulled out the star meteorite sword. [sword 1¡ªdraw the sword and slash the sky!] the dazzling sword light drew a beautiful arc in the air. the gorilla, which was originally running at high speed, suddenly stopped as if it had braked. the next moment, the gorilla¡¯s huge body was split into two from the middle. the two halves of his body fell to the ground like a huge rock, stirring up dust. blood spurted out like a fountain! Chapter 598 - 598 Killer; Strange Mangroves! 598 killer; strange mangroves! the entire forest was dead silent! at the same time, several emotionless voices rang out in the forest. [augustus, the chosen one, has died. nashland¡¯s desert area has increased by 50%.] [first to kill a level-five king kong. you¡¯ve obtained a level-five treasure chest.] [first to kill a level-five king kong. hua nation¡¯s mines have increased by 50%.] ¡­ in nashland¡¯s live broadcast room. the host looked at the live broadcast with his mouth half open. he was completely stunned. the death of augustus was simply too tragic. after a long while, the host let out a sound of disbelief. ¡°oh¡­ augustus is dead¡­¡± as the host¡¯s voice fell, bullet comments finally appeared in the silent live broadcast room. neil: [no! this is not true!] colombus: [how could augustus die?!] morris: [fake! this is fake! clint: [heavens! suddenly, a wisp of black gas was emitted from the void gate above the city. then, the entire city turned into a desert!] austin: [desert¡­ it¡¯s true. augustus is really dead.] francois: [that lin fan could have saved augustus, but he didn¡¯t do anything. he¡¯s a murderer! a detestable murderer!] davidson: [yes! murderer!] hubert: [we must punish lin fan severely.] jax: [punish the murderer lin fan!] ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiao bing was also shocked by augustus¡¯s miserable state. however, she was soon happy because hua nation¡¯s mines had increased by 50%. ¡°thank you, professor lin.¡± xiao bing said. ¡°you killed another ferocious beast and increased hua nation¡¯s mines by 50%! thank you!¡± sorrow: [god lin is awesome!] shadowless: [awesome sword skill! in anime, there¡¯s a one-punch man. any enemy would be killed with a single punch. god lin is one-sword superman. no matter how powerful a ferocious beast was, it¡¯ll be killed with a single sword move!] attempting to redeem: [god lin is so awesome!] unrivaled world: [the mines in our country has increased by 50%. in the future, our country is destined to become more and more powerful!] flower in the wind: [the people from nashland seem to be saying that they¡¯ll punish god lin severely. they even said that god lin is a murderer.] ryoko redaka: [murderer? punish? pah!] motoboy: [what do they mean god lin didn¡¯t save him? putting aside the fact that god lin wouldn¡¯t be able to save him in time, even if god lin did save him, augustus would probably say, ¡°who told you to save me? i was just playing with the king kong, like a cat playing with a mouse.] han: [if you ask me, augustus deserved it!] new: [god lin did the right thing!] feng family: [murderer? did god lin kill him? what a joke!] i like you every day: [there are more and more people scolding god lin in nashland¡¯s live broadcast room. is there anyone who wants to go there and scold them back with me?] 321: [yes!] hong tian: [count me in!] nothing is difficult in the world: [me too.] ¡­ naturally, lin fan did not know that such a small matter had caused a huge war. of course, even if he knew, he would not care too much. he immediately focused his attention on the level-five treasure chest and casually opened it. [you¡¯ve obtained beginner lightning control technique. do you want to use it?] at the same time, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ªadvanced lightning control technique.] lin fan¡¯s body went numb. then, he felt that his power could be easily converted into lightning. no! it was not just power that could be converted into lightning. he even had a very strange feeling. it was as if as long as he willed it, endless divine lightning could descend from the nine heavens! it was extremely strange. lin fan experienced this special feeling, and his lips curled up. clearly, he was in a good mood. he looked at sam, who was still lying on the ground. then, his gaze landed on the heavenly hound. he said, ¡°heavenly hound, take this beginner lightning control technique.¡± when the heavenly hound heard this, it slowly stepped forward and placed its paw on the ball of light. instantly, the heavenly hound¡¯s eyes seemed to flash with lightning, and they became even more stern. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, five days had passed. in these five days, lin fan did not encounter any more ferocious beasts. however, he had relied on his time in the otherworld to obtain a total of 600 constitution points and 800 spiritual energy. he had become even stronger. today, lin fan, the dog, and sam were still walking in the wilderness. in the live broadcast room, xiao bing would occasionally explain the environment of the otherworld. the audience in the live broadcast room was as large as usual. from time to time, they would let out a wave of yearning toward the otherworld and praise lin fan. however, very soon, there were some different discussions. flowers bloom: [have you heard? nashland, eagle country, japes, bear country, jia country¡­ many heroes from different countries suddenly lost their way and lost their strength when they entered a mangrove forest. then, something terrible happened.] asians: [something scary? i¡¯ll go to the external website to take a look. one in ten thousand: [it¡¯s indeed terrifying! there were many human-faced monsters in the mangrove forest. they liked eating the flesh of the heroes alive.] lover: [what?!] asians: [ugh! it¡¯s so terrifying! i just went to the internet to take a look¡­ i probably won¡¯t be able to eat lunch.] youth won¡¯t come: [after these heroes died, the air quality in many countries declined and pollution increased¡­] ai debi: [why are there such terrifying creatures in the ptherworld?] send you away: [the mangrove forest you mentioned¡­ could it be the one in front?] 123 wooden man: [what? god lin is about to go there? don¡¯t go! that forest is very strange!] ¡­ xia bing, xia xue, qin yuxuan, hu tian, and the others were all watching the live broadcast attentively. at the same time, they also learned about the situation in the mangroves. the women could only pray silently, ¡°lin fan, please be fine.¡± ¡­ at this moment, lin fan, the heavenly hound, and sam were still moving forward. sam ate a piece of leftover bird leg meat from last night and said with satisfaction, ¡°how delicious!¡± just as he threw away the bone, he found a mangrove forest not far away. he said in surprise, ¡°master, there¡¯s a mangrove forest over there. are those maple leaves? i don¡¯t think so. moreover, it doesn¡¯t seem to be autumn now. ¡°red leaves? or flowers?¡± ¡°but they¡¯re so beautiful!¡± sam scratched his head. ¡°it would be great if we could have a few beauties beside us. we¡¯d definitely be able to have a wonderful night.¡± at this point, sam seemed to have already imagined that scene, and his face was full of yearning. ¡°master, are we going to the mangroves?¡± sam asked. lin fan said, ¡°since we¡¯re passing by, let¡¯s go take a look.¡±¡± at this moment, the heavenly hound, which rarely barked, suddenly roared toward the sky. Chapter 599 - 599 Thunder Calamity; Descent! 599 thunder calamity; descent! sam looked at the heavenly hound curiously. he naturally could not understand what the heavenly hound was saying. however, lin fan understood everything. ¡°there¡¯s the smell of blood!¡± the heavenly hound would not have cared if it smelled like blood. after all, the wilderness of the otherworld was filled with slaughter all the time. the smell of blood here was probably very strong. this was the heavenly hound¡¯s warning. there might be danger inside! danger? lin fan did not care at all. there was even a hint of anticipation. this meant that there might be powerful monsters inside. killing monsters would allow him to gain strength and even skills. hence, lin fan continued walking forward at a steady pace. very soon¡­ he was about to enter the mangroves. in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiao bing said nervously, ¡°professor lin, be careful!¡± spicy rabbit head: [god lin, don¡¯t go in.] bin bin: [god lin, it¡¯s dangerous!] dejected: [be careful!] ¡­ xia bing, xia xue, qin yuxuan, and the others clenched their hands tightly, and their pretty faces became even more nervous. ¡­ finally, lin fan, sam, and the heavenly hound slowly walked into the mangroves under the watchful eyes of countless people. the ground of the mangroves was very soft. walking on it was like stepping on a spring cushion. ¡°this path is so comfortable,¡± sam said happily. lin fan frowned. when he walked into the mangroves, the power in his body seemed to be absorbed by something and was constantly flowing away. of course, the speed was very slow. however, lin fan had an extremely strong recovery ability, hence the draining effect was canceled out. at the same time, he noticed that a dense cluster of red trees had suddenly appeared behind him. one had to know¡­ lin fan had just walked in. how could there be so many red trees behind him? lin fan muttered in his heart, ¡°this seems interesting.¡± thus, he continued walking forward. in the beginning, sam would praise the place from time to time, thinking that it was very beautiful. he was very excited. however, slowly, sam became like a patient with a high fever. he became very dispirited and swayed, and he was about to fall to the ground at any time. when a rock appeared in front of him, sam fell to the ground and could not get up. lin fan and the heavenly hound stopped in their tracks. it was also at this moment that a red three-eyed human-faced monster slowly emerged from behind a red tree. no! it was not just one! following that, red monsters with three eyes appeared on the left, right, and front. the four monsters formed a rectangular shape and surrounded lin fan, the heavenly hound, and sam. their eyes were filled with scarlet light, and they were extremely terrifying. the next moment, the four monsters opened their mouths and stretched out their claws that were as sharp as steel blades. they charged toward lin fan, the heavenly hound, and sam. lin fan did not move at all, but the heavenly hound charged forward. with a few soft sounds, the four monsters were all broken at the waist, and blood splattered everywhere. then, lin fan continued walking forward. the heavenly hound held sam, who had fainted, in its mouth and followed behind. in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. ¡°it seems like these monsters can¡¯t harm professor lin.¡± red: [even god lin doesn¡¯t need to do anything. the heavenly hound can deal with them. man in the wind: [invincible god lin!] commentator: [they¡¯re just monsters. there¡¯s no need for god lin to take action! he¡¯s that invincible!] ¡­ lin fan kept moving forward. every time he walked, a few monsters would appear. however, they were all killed by the heavenly hound easily and did not pose any obstruction to lin fan. about an hour later, the mangroves became denser and denser. the entire world seemed to be completely enveloped in scarlet. ghastly and terrifying! at this moment, a tall mountain suddenly appeared in front of them. there were many caves around the mountain. a large number of red monsters gathered in front of the cave. in front of these monsters were people of all ethnicities. they¡­ they were all heroes chosen by the various countries. these heroes had either been cut open or their heads were shattered. they were unrecognizable¡­ all of them had lost all signs of life, and fresh blood flowed freely. it was extremely miserable. among the red monsters, there were some who hugged the heroes¡¯ thigh and gnawed on them, some who used their sharp claws to reach into their stomachs to eat their internal organs, and some who grabbed the brain and stuffed it into their mouths¡­ the air was filled with the nauseating smell of blood. the entire scene was extremely terrifying! lin fan¡¯s originally calm face turned cold instantly. a ball of raging anger burned wildly. even though none of them were hua people, and it was even possible that some of these heroes were from hostile countries¡­ however, they were all humans! a red monster was just about to eat the thigh of the hero in front of it when it was slapped to the side by another red monster. the red monster seemed to be a little dazed from the beating and shook its head. it suddenly realized that there was a tall and handsome figure, a dog, and an unconscious man not far away. instantly, the monster¡¯s eyes turned red. it opened its mouth and drooled. it was as if¡­ it could already see the beautiful scene of it eating flesh and blood. the red monster¡¯s actions quickly attracted the attention of the other monsters. they raised their heads one after another. Chapter 600 - 600 Thunder Calamity; Descent (2) 600 thunder calamity; descent (2) instantly, all the monsters stared at lin fan with their scarlet eyes. from afar, they looked like ghost lights in the dark night. they were extremely terrifying! moreover, as time passed, the number of ghost lights continued to increase! the heavenly hound opened its mouth and let out a bark. all the fur on its body stood up. it was ready to attack at any moment. lin fan¡¯s expression changed from the initial rage to indifference and calmness. it was the omen of a storm! finally, lin fan opened his mouth wide and said, ¡°looks like this is a forest of demons. ¡°this demon forest should be punished!¡± as the sound of lin fan¡¯s voice faded, a huge bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the originally clear sky. the ferocious lightning seemed to have torn countless cracks in the sky. suddenly, a strong wind blew. the branches shook violently, and countless scarlet leaves fell. clouds gathered rapidly, covering the sky. the sky darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye. this change surprised the red monsters. they raised their heads and looked around. their ferocious faces were filled with confusion. another burst of terrifying lightning, like countless lightning snakes swimming in the air, completely illuminated the faces of the monsters. it dyed them pale! then, the entire sky suddenly fell silent again. the wind and trees stopped rustling. ¡°punish!¡± lin fan hollered out. his voice was like the words of a god. it was empty, holy, and rippling through the heaven and earth. in an instant, it was like a huge thunder that split the sky and earth, exploding everyone¡¯s ears. countless lightning pillars as thick as buckets rained down on the mangroves. heavenly punishment descended! the monsters¡¯ scarlet eyes shrank slightly as they hurriedly dodged to the side. however, it was futile. thunderclaps continued, shaking the earth and mountains. the trees fell, the soil shattered, and the entire world turned pale. a moment later, the lightning slowly dissipated, adding a touch of color to the pale world. threads of tiny lightning snakes were still jumping in the forest. the dense red forest had already disappeared. what replaced it was a small forest that was covered in black smoke. the red monsters all disappeared, as if they had never existed in this world. meanwhile, lin fan, the heavenly hound, and sam were standing perfectly fine within the charred forest. the entire world was dead silent! a breeze blew from afar, blowing two charred trees that had lost their vitality to the ground. at this moment, an emotionless voice rang out in lin fan¡¯s ears. [the first to destroy a level-five forbidden area. you¡¯ve obtained a level-five treasure chest.] [the first to destroy a level-five forbidden area. hua nation descends into a forbidden area.] ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiao bing looked at the sky full of lightning in the live broadcast room, as well as the charred mangroves in the end. she said in a daze, ¡°just¡­ what just happened?¡± as xiao bing¡¯s voice fell, the originally silent live broadcast room instantly erupted. forgive: [f*ck!] only you: [f*ck!] the only person: [f*ck!] qingchuan calendar hanyang tree: [f*ck!] ¡­ the entire screen was filled with countless exclamations. then, different bullet comments appeared. names are nothing but floating clouds: [god lin first said that it was a demon forest and should be punished. then, he sent lightning down and destroyed the entire forest!!!] answer: [i don¡¯t know what words to use to describe god lin. i can only say, he¡¯s f*cking awesome!!!] ruffian hero: [first, he can jump dozens of meters. then, he killed someone with a slap. later, he released sword energy and froze a tsunami¡­ now, he released lightning. god lin, you still say that you¡¯re not a god?!] past is memories: [god lin, you¡¯re awesome!]] speechless ending: [those monsters actually killed so many people. god lin, good job!] tearful fish: [good job!] abyss: [god lin is right. that was indeed a demon forest!] wind: [he destroyed the demons with one word! awesome!] ¡­ in fact, it was not just the hua people who were cheering. many foreigners were also cheering. that was because the heroes of their country were among the people who were brutally killed by the monsters in the mangroves. they had long hated the red monsters to the core. now, lin fan had helped them take revenge. ¡­ xia bing, xia xue, qin yuxuan, and the others all heaved a sigh of relief. then, a smile appeared on all the women¡¯s faces. not only was lin fan fine, but he had also displayed even greater strength. he was even safer now. ¡­ while the audience was discussing, lin fan placed his attention in front of him. the mysterious treasure chest was flashing with a strange light. then, he slowly opened it. [you¡¯ve obtained beginner light of life. do you want to use it?] at the same time, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ªadvanced light of life.] lin fan¡¯s body warmed up. then, many life particles appeared in his vision. lin fan had a feeling that as long as he willed it, these life particles would be able to gather and heal the injuries of himself or others. lin fan raised his head slowly and said to the heavenly hound, ¡°go and use the beginner light of life.¡± the heavenly hound had long been envious. when it heard lin fan¡¯s words, it did not hesitate any longer and moved its claws over. instantly, a faint light wrapped around the heavenly hound like a veil and quickly entered its body. the heavenly hound¡¯s eyes lit up even more. lin fan was not too bothered by this and turned his gaze to sam. he was just about to condense the light of life. at this moment, the heavenly hound stretched out its paw and placed it on sam¡¯s body. a warm light immediately shot out from the hound¡¯s paw and entered sam¡¯s body. sam¡¯s body was covered in light, faintly emitting a holy aura. when the light disappeared, he opened his eyes. sam looked at the charred forest in front of him, which was smoking. he could not help but ask, ¡°m-master, where are we?¡± then, he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said, ¡°master, where are those monsters? where are the red-skinned monsters?!¡± as he spoke, he suddenly jumped up. he clenched his hands into fists and scanned his surroundings. it was as if he was on guard against the sudden appearance of a monster. clearly, he had completely recovered. lin fan said calmly, ¡°it¡¯s fine now. let¡¯s go.¡± as he spoke, he slowly walked forward. ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. jenny turtle: [beginner light of life, what a magical thing.] come back: [the light of life. it¡¯s like a priest in the game. sam woke up in an instant.] say you love me: [priest? i think it should be a bishop.] everyone, rest early: [with this light of life, will it be easy to treat illnesses in the future? cancer, high blood pressure¡­ does that mean we don¡¯t have to be afraid anymore?] qing tian: what forbidden land did god lin destroy just now? what does it mean? oh right, hua nation has also descended a forbidden area. what is that?] glory: [yes, everyone, check if there are any changes near your city.] boundless sea and sky: [the forbidden area might be like what we see in the movies and novels. there¡¯ll be many benefits.] illusion: [yes! quick, take a look!] windstorm: [f*ck! a large forest suddenly appeared in the suburbs of yang city in jiang province. it¡¯s a mangroves forest!] ruthless: [what? mangroves!] ¡­ when countless viewers saw this comment, they could not help but shiver. they had already seen how terrifying the mangroves were. could those monsters be in the mangroves in yang city? would the monsters come out? this was definitely a very terrifying thing. Chapter 601 - 601 One Month; Golden Treasure Chest! 601 one month; golden treasure chest! as the red forest descended, many people even hurriedly fled yang city. they were afraid that the red monsters would come out. the government had even hurriedly mobilized armed soldiers, animal and plant experts, and other scholars to gather in front of the red forest. they did not find any terrifying red monsters during their careful exploration. on the contrary, they found that the air in the red forest was very fresh. after breathing in it for a period of time, the pain in their bodies gradually disappeared. the longer they breathed in the air in the red forest, the stronger their bodies became. it was extremely strange. ¡­ lin fan had no idea what was happening in the real world. in the blink of an eye, another five days passed. in these five days, lin fan did not encounter any beasts or monsters. by relying on living in the otherworld, lin fan gained a total of 800 constitution points and 600 spiritual energy points. today, lin fan, the heavenly hound, and sam continued to move forward in the wilderness. at this moment, an emotionless voice sounded in the ears of everyone in the otherworld. ¡°you¡¯ve been in the otherworld for 30 days. you¡¯ve obtained a golden treasure chest.¡± then, in front of lin fan and sam, a chest shining with golden light appeared. lin fan had seen too many chests like this. therefore, with a calm expression, he reached out and opened it. [you¡¯ve obtained beginner earth manipulation technique. do you want to use it?] at the same time, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ªadvanced earth manipulation technique.] instantly, lin fan lowered his head and looked over. the originally hard ground was suddenly filled with countless tiny particles. lin fan could clearly feel that as long as he willed it, these particles could gather with his thoughts and transform into different forms. when lin fan raised his head, he realized that sam was staring at the golden treasure chest in front of him. if he had never used the things in the box before, it would have been fine. however, lin fan had let him use it before. sam also knew that these chests contained very strange power. lin fan said, ¡°this is the reward from the otherworld. use it and see what you can get.¡± when sam heard this, he hurriedly replied, ¡°yes, master!¡± then, he opened the chest impatiently. [you¡¯ve obtained beginner gigantization technique. do you want to use it?] sam looked at the ball of light in the golden treasure chest and blinked. then, he looked at lin fan again. lin fan said, ¡°this is your skill. use it.¡± then, lin fan said to the heavenly hound, ¡°use this beginner earth manipulation technique.¡± thus, sam and the heavenly hound both touched the balls of light in front of them. the balls of light circled around them and then entered their bodies. very soon, both of their faces revealed a hint of joy. lin fan did not really care about the beginner earth manipulation technique. that was because he himself had the advanced earth manipulation technique. lin fan asked sam, ¡°what abilities does your beginner gigantization technique have?¡± ¡°i can enlarge any part of my body!¡± sam said excitedly. as he spoke, his fist was like a balloon, constantly expanding. soon, it became a meter-long giant fist. ¡°master, look! it¡¯s a fist bigger than a clay pot!¡± sam said. lin fan¡¯s lips twitched as a weird look appeared on his face. ¡­ lin fan and sam knew that there were good things in the treasure chests. however, those who had never successfully killed a ferocious beast did not know. after living in the otherworld for a month, the other heroes were all sallow and emaciated. therefore, when a chest appeared in front of them, they did not open it immediately but hurriedly avoided it. they did not know if there would be any danger. of course, there were also some bold and curious people who picked up wooden sticks and pried open the box from afar, thus obtaining different abilities. ¡­ in nashland¡¯s live broadcast room. the host picked up the microphone and said excitedly, ¡°look! what happened? all six of our current heroes have obtained treasure chests. let¡¯s see what kind of power they can obtain!¡± originally, there were more than ten heroes from nashland who had entered the otherworld. at this moment, there were only six people left. some of these heroes were killed by ferocious beasts, while others starved to death¡­ there was even one person who walked into the mangroves and was eaten by the red monsters. fredo: [six treasure chests! it seems that no country has ever obtained so many treasure chests!] irwin: [as expected, our country¡¯s luck is strong!] mmm: [why aren¡¯t you opening the treasure chest? don¡¯t hesitate!] one: [william has opened it. oh my god, it¡¯s 300 points of constitution. ten points of constitution is enough to make one like superman. 300 points of constitution¡­ what kind of power will that have?] wy: [jani has also opened a treasure chest. let me see¡­ lycanthropy! could it be that he can transform into a werewolf? wolverine! amazing!] hero: [kate is about to open it¡­ heavens! it¡¯s the fog controlling spell! it sounds very powerful!] ¡­ eagle country¡¯s live broadcast room. uu: [andrew has opened the treasure chest! is it a physical weapon? heavens! his body can actually turn into a sharp blade. he¡¯s so strong now!] henry: [if that¡¯s the case, who can be his opponent in the future?] mark: [i knew it. andrew must be the strongest.] ¡­ in fray¡¯s live broadcast room. k: [qiao yashu obtained 400 constitution points!] Chapter 602 - 602 One Month; Golden Treasure Chest!

[entering level-eight forbidden area.] [countdown, 10.] [9!] [8!] ¡­ when everyone heard this, they were at a loss. none of them knew what the forbidden area was. meanwhile, the hearts of the audience in front of the screen tightened. this was because everything was either broadcasted live or reported in the news. most of them knew that there were extremely terrifying dangers in forbidden areas. however, no matter what they thought, they could not stop the countdown. [2!] [1!] as the last number fell, lin fan, the heavenly hound, sam¡­ as well as all the heroes in the otherworld, suddenly disappeared from where they were. in the next moment, they appeared in a relatively dark place. lin fan removed his hand from the heavenly hound¡¯s head and muttered, ¡°sure enough, i can bring the heavenly hound in. is this a level-eight forbidden area?¡± he first silently sensed the changes in his body. he realized that this level-eight forbidden area was not like the mangroves that constantly absorbed the energy in his body. it was as if he had just changed his environment, and there was no other difference. ¡°amazing!¡± sam said excitedly. ¡°master, we suddenly came here! it was just like when he came from earth. ¡°master, is this the legendary heaven and earth great shift?!¡± the heaven and earth great shift? lin fan¡¯s mouth twitched, but he did not explain anything. he randomly found a direction and said, ¡°let¡¯s go.¡± there might be many terrifying beasts and monsters in the forbidden area. however, lin fan did not care at all. in other words, he was looking forward to it. that was because this meant that he could obtain more treasure chests and red packets. lin fan, the heavenly hound, and sam did not walk for long before they heard a sound from the forest not far away. sam immediately became alert. he clenched his fists and stood in front of lin fan. clearly, he was prepared to help lin fan fend off any danger. even though his actions were useless, lin fan still nodded his head silently. in the next moment¡­ a man with a face covered in dust and wearing tattered clothes walked out of the forest. when sam saw that it was a human, he heaved a sigh of relief and said in english, ¡°hello, i¡¯m sam from bai nation. who are you?¡± the bearded man stuttered in english, ¡°i am hashimoto musashi from japes.¡± then, he started to look at sam and lin fan. when hashimoto musashi saw the backpack behind sam and the exposed roasted meat, his turbid eyes immediately lit up. in the live broadcast room in japes. feng xingzi: [is this the forbidden area? it¡¯s so dark. it looks so scary.] ikeda: [that¡¯s¡­ lin fan! hashimoto has met lin fan from hua nation!] natsuki: [hashimoto, don¡¯t make lin fan your enemy¡­] tanabe: [don¡¯t worry too much. hashimoto has obtained copper skin iron bones. even lin fan shouldn¡¯t be able to cause too much damage to hashimoto. furthermore, hashimoto might not even fight lin fan.] moriguchi: [hashimotoseems to be touching a gun!] as soon as he said that, the comments suddenly stopped. everyone was focused on the live broadcast. ¡­ as the japes audience expected, hashimoto musashi was indeed touching his gun. ¡°don¡¯t move!¡± hashimoto musashi revealed his yellow teeth and pointed his gun at sam and lin fan. ¡°don¡¯t move! now, slowly put the bag behind you on the ground.¡± sam had obtained 20 constitution points and a gigantization skill. he had become a superhuman existence. however, when he saw the black muzzle, a thin layer of sweat could not help but appear on his forehead. terrifying! this was definitely the most terrifying thing he had faced! thus, sam did as he was told and slowly placed the backpack on the ground. hashimoto musashi nodded in satisfaction. such a big bag of meat was enough for him to eat for a long time! then, he accidentally discovered that there was an animal that looked like a wolf or a dog at the side. his eyes lit up again. ¡°i didn¡¯t expect there to be a living animal! this way, i won¡¯t have to worry about food for a month!¡± as he spoke, he could not help but swallow. lin fan acted as if he did not see the gun pointed at him. his expression remained the same. he looked down at the heavenly hound beside him and said, ¡°that person wants to eat you.¡± when the heavenly hound heard this, it roared toward the sky, revealing its ferocious appearance. then, it rushed toward hashimoto musashi. it was so fast! it was so fierce! hashimoto musashi was shocked and hurriedly fired. however, there was no effect. when he saw the sharp claws of the heavenly hound coming at him, he hurriedly turned his skin bronze. [skill: copper skin iron bones!] Chapter 603 - 603 No Regrets; Strange Jar! 603 no regrets; strange jar! the heavenly hound did not seem to notice the change in hashimoto musashi, and its sharp claws continued to strike down without any pause. a loud sound like metal clashing echoed throughout the scene. then, hashimoto musashi felt himself falling. he saw his bronze skin and the metal bones in his body¡­ his upper body was actually neatly separated from his lower body! in the next moment, hashimoto musashi¡¯s two halves landed heavily on the ground with a dull thud. hashimoto musashi had always wanted to see what his bones had become after he obtained copper skin iron bones. now, it had finally become reality. he¡­ he could have no regrets! it was also at this moment that hashimoto musashi¡¯s skill disappeared and his body returned to its original state. hot blood spurted out like a fountain. fortunately, the heavenly hound was fast, so its fur was not stained by the blood. at this moment, an emotionless voice sounded in the ears of everyone in japes. [hashimoto musashi has died. the area of japes has been reduced by 10%.] ¡­ earth. the void gate floating in the sky above japes suddenly emitted wisps of black gas. a huge wave crashed over from afar, instantly drowning the land that had been added not long ago. at the same time, it also swallowed some of the buildings by the sea and the people who were playing. in the live broadcast room. the originally quiet livestream room began to become noisy after the sound in their ears. kitaoka: [hashimoto is dead¡­] taro oban: [this¡­ this is not true.] cheese: [no!] ¡­ this video was quickly sent to corea. originally, they were full of confidence in the corean hero, li jinxuan. they were looking forward to him meeting a ferocious beast or lin fan. from there, he could kill beasts and obtain more treasure chests or kill lin fan to avenge li xianhao. however, at this moment, all the coreans fell silent. they prayed silently in their hearts that li jinxuan would not encounter a ferocious beast, let alone lin fan. the other party¡­ was simply too powerful. perhaps the prayers of the people from corea had an effect. li jinxuan indeed did not meet lin fan or any ferocious beasts. however, he encountered many ceramic jars. after li jinxuan arrived at the forbidden area, he appeared very calm. he had obtained 500 constitution points, so he felt that he was filled with endless strength. it was as if he had become superman! at this moment, li jinxuan felt that even if he faced a ferocious beast, he did not have to be afraid at all. he first looked around and found that there were tall trees around him. there was nothing different. therefore, li jinxuan casually found a direction and strode forward. he walked past the big trees and through the grass¡­ many ancient ceramic jars with human faces engraved on them appeared in front of him. ¡°what are these things?¡± li jinxuan said lightly. ¡°could there be something inside?¡± li jinxuan¡¯s mind began to work. he had once seen some movies where there would be some treasures in jars. in fact, the jars themselves were treasures. even though he was currently in the otherworld¡­ li jinxuan felt that he would return to earth one day. at that time, these jars¡­ and the things inside¡­ thinking of this, li jinxuan walked forward to the mouth of a jar and prepared to investigate. just as he approached¡­ a crack appeared on one of the jars. then, black mucus flew out like an arrow and wrapped around li jinxuan. li jinxuan was shocked and hurriedly struggled. however, the amount of black mucus was increasing. soon, it completely enveloped li jinxuan. suddenly, the audience only saw a black thing that kept twisting. a moment later, the black sticky liquid flew back into the jar. however, li jinxuan had disappeared. he¡­ melted! at the same time, an emotionless voice sounded in everyone¡¯s ears. [li jinxuan¡¯s death will reduce the lifespan of coreans by one year.] a ball of black gas spread out from the void gate. suddenly, a driver¡¯s heart stopped, causing an accident. a lecturer suddenly fell from the podium and stopped breathing. the person who was drinking suddenly choked and spat out a large mouthful of blood. ¡­ in the live broadcast room of corea. li oppa: [what exactly is that thing?] xuan fan: [no! li jinxuan won¡¯t die.] seunmida: [it¡¯s too scary.] fans: [no!] ¡­ hashimoto musashi¡¯s death was just a small matter to lin fan. as for li jinxuan¡¯s death, lin fan had no idea at all. as usual, he walked forward unhurriedly. ¡­ abraham, one of the heroes of bear country, was also in the forest of the level-eight forbidden area. after opening the golden treasure chest, he had obtained 400 constitution points, which gave him tyrannical strength. at this moment, a three-meter-tall golden-furred bear stood in front of abraham. abraham was nearly 1.9 meters tall. however, he was still like a dwarf in front of the giant bear. even so, abraham was not afraid. on the contrary, he seemed very happy and said in his native language, ¡°yo! bear! my country is called bear country! it¡¯s the country that gets along the best with bears! ¡°however, most of the bears in our world are gray.¡± the giant bear did not understand abraham¡¯s words at all. it looked up and roared. then, it waved its ferocious claws and slapped down on abraham. abraham¡¯s expression changed slightly, and he quickly flashed behind a big tree. the terrifying power of the giant golden bear even caused the entire tree to tremble. however, abraham was not afraid. ¡°you attacked just now. now, it¡¯s my turn!¡± he laughed excitedly. as soon as he finished speaking, abraham jumped up, raised his fist, gathered his strength, and smashed it toward the giant golden bear¡¯s chest. the sound of something breaking through the air rang out. the giant golden bear¡¯s huge body was sent flying several meters away. the strength of 400 constitution points was so tyrannical. however, this did not cause fatal damage to the giant golden bear. it only broke a few of its bones. a trace of blood seeped out from the corner of the giant golden bear¡¯s mouth. it was injured! it was injured by a weak worm! the giant golden bear was completely enraged. it roared at the sky and rushed toward abraham like a speeding truck. it waved its claws and slapped abraham again. abraham dodged to the side again. the big tree in front of him fell down. the giant golden bear¡¯s angry claws were so powerful! Chapter 604 - 604 Choice; Skill Replication! 604 choice; skill replication! ¡°it¡¯s my turn!¡± abraham shouted and jumped up to punch the golden bear. however, the giant golden bear seemed to have expected this. before abraham¡¯s fist could hit him, it slapped him with its claws again. abraham¡¯s pupils constricted. he forcefully twisted his body in the air to avoid being sent flying by the giant golden bear. even so, the giant golden bear¡¯s sharp claws left a few scarlet scratch marks on abraham¡¯s back. blood slowly fell to the ground. abraham panted heavily. ¡°that¡¯s impressive. i can¡¯t fall behind!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he punched the giant golden bear. a few more bones of the giant golden bear broke. then, the giant golden bear waved its claws again. abraham hurriedly dodged, but a few more scratches appeared on his body. just like that, the two of them attacked each other. it could be said that every punch hit the flesh. it was very tough. in the end, abraham punched the golden bear¡¯s head. the skull was broken, and the giant golden bear fell to the ground, quickly losing all its vitality. at this moment, abraham¡¯s entire body was covered in no less than 20 scratch marks. his entire body seemed to be soaked in blood, and he looked extremely miserable. however, abraham¡¯s face was full of smiles. he had won. then, an emotionless voice sounded in his ears. [the first to kill a level-four golden bear. you¡¯ve obtained a level-four treasure chest.] [the first to kill a level-four golden bear. the lifespan of bear country citizens has increased by one year.] then, an ancient chest appeared in front of him. abraham had already opened such chests before and knew that there was something good inside them. therefore, he did not hesitate to open it. [you¡¯ve obtained beginner sound wave technique. do you want to use it?] ¡°of course, i do!¡± abraham said. the ball of light in the box instantly entered his body. abraham¡¯s throat moved, and a strange power surged up and down his mind. before he could try it out, he heard brisk footsteps not far away. a tall and handsome man, a dog, and a brown-skinned man slowly appeared in his field of vision. it was lin fan, the heavenly hound, and sam. sam hurriedly stood in front of lin fan and said in english, ¡°who are you?¡± not long ago, he had already experienced being threatened by hashimoto musashi. he was on guard with all new people. moreover, abraham was covered in blood, which made him look dangerous. naturally, he had to be more careful. when abraham saw lin fan and sam, he was not as wary. he seemed very happy and said in english, ¡°i¡¯m abraham from bear country! i finally met the people from earth. who are you?¡± ¡°i¡¯m sam from bai country,¡± sam said. ¡°i¡¯m lin fan from hua nation,¡± lin fan said. lin fan¡¯s impression of bear country was not bad. in addition, abraham did not show any hostility. hence, lin fan¡¯s tone of introduction was rather polite. abraham became even happier. ¡°so it¡¯s bai country and hua nation!¡± ¡°i often buy things in hua nation. they¡¯re very practical and beautiful!¡± after a few words, their relationship became much closer. lin fan said, ¡°you seem to have a lot of injuries. do you need treatment?¡± ¡°they¡¯re just small injuries.¡± abraham waved his hand. ¡°they¡¯ll heal very quickly.¡± in fact, that was exactly the case. that was because he had 400 constitution points. not only did they increase his strength, but they also increased his speed and recovery ability. lin fan nodded his head. ¡°we¡¯re all earthlings,¡± abraham said. ¡°we should be traveling together in the otherworld. it¡¯ll be safer if we can take care of each other. ¡°however, i feel that we should face danger alone in the otherworld. only then can we continue to grow. ¡°so, i won¡¯t be with you guys anymore. ¡°in fact, i think it¡¯s best for the two of you to leave separately.¡± ¡°i want to be with master all the time,¡± sam said immediately. abraham nodded thoughtfully and said, ¡°teacher and student?¡± he felt his wounds gradually scab over and said, ¡°it¡¯s about time. i¡¯ll be leaving first. lin fan, sam, goodbye.¡± abraham waved his hand and strode forward. lin fan and sam said, ¡°goodbye.¡±¡± this scene appeared in bear country¡¯s live broadcast room. abraham had killed a level-four golden bear and obtained beginner sound wave technique. at the same time, the lifespan of the citizens of bear country also increased by one year. this was undoubtedly¡­ something that made the people of bear country very happy. however, at this moment, in bear country¡¯s live broadcast room, the comments were full of accusations against abraham. mavis: [heavens! abraham actually rejected lin fan!] basil bo: [what a great opportunity!] bunian: [alone? grow? god, abraham, do you know what you¡¯ve lost?] dean: [one year of lifespan? what¡¯s the use of one year of lifespan? why didn¡¯t you follow lin fan?] armand: [he¡¯s gone, and he¡¯s walking so fast.] bodley: [lin fan even asked him if he needed treatment. lin fan¡­ even that heavenly hound could heal abraham very quickly, and he still said they were just small injuries.] adolf: [that¡¯s right. even if you want to leave, you should at least let lin fan treat you before you leave.] nanni: [he¡¯ll never know how wrong his choice was.] ¡­ naturally, lin fan did not know the reaction of the people from bear country. since abraham did not want to follow him, lin fan did not want to force him to stay. he looked at abraham¡¯s back and chose another direction. not long after lin fan left, a crisp notification sounded out in his mind. [ding! you¡¯ve walked 1,000,000 steps in the otherworld. you¡¯ve obtained skill replication.] replication? lin fan was curious and focused his attention. [skill replication: able to copy the abilities of others at will. you can easily learn other people¡¯s abilities and even obtain stronger abilities, thus displaying your unique charm.] seeing this, lin fan¡¯s eyes lit up. if he had obtained skill replication before the appearance of the otherworld, lin fan would not have felt that it would be of much use. after all, his driving, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and other skills were far superior to ordinary people. however, after the appearance of the otherworld, such a skill had its uses. this was because after killing a ferocious beast in the otherworld, one could open a treasure chest and obtain power or different abilities. not long ago, after surviving for 30 days, everyone opened a treasure chest and obtained abilities. lin fan should be able to find abilities worth replicating. then, lin fan turned his body and looked at sam. he had an ability¡­ beginner gigantization technique. [skill replication: beginner gigantization technique!] Chapter 605 - 605 Level-Eight Hellwater, Killed! 605 level-eight hellwater, killed! lin fan felt his body warming up. then, he began to understand. as long as he willed it, he could gather energy and make his body thicker and bigger. it was very magical. the corners of lin fan¡¯s lips curled up slightly, and his footsteps became lighter. in the distance, a gust of chilly wind suddenly blew over. sam could not help but shiver and say, ¡°why did it suddenly become cold?¡± in the next moment¡­ ceramic jars appeared in front of them. the sight was eerie and strange. ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiao bing said, ¡°ceramic jars suddenly appeared.¡± qingchuan calendar hanyang tree: [ceramic jars? are there humans in the otherworld?] spring won¡¯t come back: [are these ceramic jars antiques?] 123 wooden man: [god lin is rich.] flower: [does god lin lack money?] i love the sun: [the man-eating ceramic jars!] mary: [yes! they¡¯re man-eating ceramic jars! not long ago, one had eaten li jinxuan from corea!] waiting for you in the wind: [god lin, be careful.] ¡­ the heavenly hound sniffed and called out softly. lin fan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. he could understand the words of the heavenly hound. ¡°there¡¯s something in the jars.¡± however, lin fan did not care too much about it. there was something in the jars? what could it be? could it be a monster? lin fan was curious. perhaps, it was the heavenly hound¡¯s bark that had disturbed the jars. a jar nearby suddenly cracked. in the next moment¡­ a stream of black sticky liquid flew toward the heavenly hound. the heavenly hound was slightly shocked. it waved its sharp claws and instantly shattered the black sticky liquid. following that, several jars beside cracked. several strands of black sticky liquid flew toward the heavenly hound. the heavenly hound either dodged quickly or attacked with its claws, constantly shattering the sticky liquid. the number of cracked jars increased, and the volume and quantity of the black viscous liquid also increased. finally, the heavenly hound started to panic. however, the heavenly hound was not to be trifled with. it roared toward the sky and spat out a huge fireball, dispersing and melting the black liquid. perhaps it was because the flames had burned the jars or the heavenly hound had completely enraged the black liquid¡­ all of the ceramic jars suddenly cracked, and endless black liquid spread out. it covered the sky and the sun. the place vaguely turned into a black ocean that filled the sky. it was terrifying! then¡­ the rolling black liquid suddenly gathered and condensed. it formed a giant monster that was about ten meters tall, with scarlet eyes and sharp fangs. the monster roared, stirring up a gust of wind. the wind blew the trees and leaves. it was extremely terrifying. even the heavenly hound could not help but feel its fur stand on end when it faced this monster, and its expression turned grim. sam¡¯s legs gave way, and he fell to the ground. this was the natural reaction of the weak when they saw the strong. lin fan¡¯s face was filled with curiosity. ¡°a monster transformed from the black liquid? ¡°it seems quite interesting. ¡°right, it seems to be afraid of fire.¡± as the sound of lin fan¡¯s voice faded, a sea of fire rose up around him. the sea of fire quickly condensed into a ten-meter-long flaming sword. lin fan spat out one word, ¡°slash!¡± [skill: sword 3!] the flames and sword light intertwined. the entire space seemed to have been sucked into a vacuum in an instant. it was silent. in the distance, a gust of wind suddenly blew. the surface of the huge monster was like a piece of ceramic that had been baked for too long, and fiery red cracks appeared on its surface. in the next moment, the monster shattered into countless tiny black hard objects that fell to the ground with a dull sound. the trees within a radius of hundreds of meters shattered like bubbles, turning into dust that filled the sky. then, an emotionless voice rang out in lin fan¡¯s ears. [first to kill level-eight hellwater. you¡¯ve obtained a level-eight treasure chest.] [first to kill level-eight hellwater. hua nation¡¯s oil has increased by 50%.] lin fan did not wait any longer and opened the treasure chest in front of him. [500 constitution points. do you want to use them?] at the same time, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ª5,000 constitution points.] the surging power was like a tidal wave that surged within lin fan¡¯s body, causing his muscles and bones to start squirming. lin fan looked at sam, who was lying on the ground, and said, ¡°go and use your 500 constitution points.¡± they had spent the past few days together. even though lin fan had never thought of taking sam as his disciple, he had a good impression of him. every time a stronger monster appeared, sam would instinctively be frightened. it was not a good sight. therefore, it was necessary to give him 500 constitution points. sam was still in a daze. as a result, he did not even hear lin fan. seeing this¡­ lin fan waved his hand, and the light ball entered sam¡¯s body. in an instant, sam¡¯s muscles grew rapidly, and the surging energy pulled him back to reality. sam looked at his hands in disbelief. ¡°this¡­ this¡­¡± ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. ¡°professor lin is amazing!¡± xiao bing said excitedly. feng clan: [i knew that god lin was the strongest!] god: [awesome!] hongda: [the black liquid in those porcelain jars can actually fuse! level-eight hellwater. it¡¯s a bit like poison.] cold air comes: [i told you, god lin is a one-hit superman!] he killed level-eight hellwater with a single strike. moreover, he used a flaming sword. it was so cool!] pfft: [hua nation¡¯s oil production has increased by 50%! now, we don¡¯t have to worry about energy anymore. thank you, god lin.] bai yang: [thank you, god lin.] messy: [thank you, god lin.] ¡­ in reality, it was not just the hua people who were thanking lin fan. some people in bai country were also thanking lin fan. when gilbevan¡¯s family saw sam encounter the ceramic jars, especially when they saw the endless black liquid coming out of the jars, they were so scared that their faces turned pale. when they saw lin fan kill the level-eight hellwater and give the 500 constitution points to sam, the entire family jumped up in joy. ¡°sam has obtained 500 constitution points!¡± ¡°sam has become even stronger than superman!¡± ¡°thank you, master!¡± ¡°thank you, master!¡± ¡°master isn¡¯t at home. we have to thank grandpa, grandma, and aunt!¡± ¡°that¡¯s right!¡± thus, gilbevan¡¯s family rushed to lin fan¡¯s house and called lin tao, dai weixue, lin xiaoyao, ¡°grandpa,¡± ¡°grandma,¡± and ¡°aunt¡± respectively non-stop. lin tao, dai weixue, and lin xiaoyao opened their mouths, wanting to stop them. in the end, they could only sigh. Chapter 606 - 606 Granny Tree Demon; Nie Xiaoqian? 606 granny tree demon; nie xiaoqian? sam felt the endless energy in his body and was at a loss. ¡°thank you, master!¡± he said excitedly after a while. lin fan did not reply. instead, he looked ahead. perhaps, it was because killing the level-eight hellwater had caused too much of a commotion. ten monsters that were about two meters tall, wearing bronze armor and holding long halberds, rushed over from afar. their eyes were scarlet, and their bodies were filled with a murderous aura. it was awe-inspiring and terrifying. lin fan muttered, ¡°there are jars and armored warriors? there should have been people living in the otherworld before, right?¡± as soon as he finished speaking, lin fan¡¯s palm shook gently. the flaming longsword that had yet to dissipate transformed into a beautiful sword flower in the air. the bronze-armored warriors that were charging at them shattered like bubbles. only the smoke and dust in the air proved that they had appeared not long ago. at this moment, an emotionless voice sounded. [the first to kill a level-six armored battle team. you¡¯ve obtained a level-six treasure chest.] [the first to kill a level-six armored battle team. an energy mine has appeared in hua nation.] lin fan opened the treasure chest in front of him. [you¡¯ve obtained 600 points of spiritual energy. do you want to use them?] at the same time, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ª6,000 points of spiritual energy.] lin fan¡¯s entire body felt refreshed, and his thoughts were extremely clear. then, he said to the heavenly hound, ¡°use these 600 points of spiritual energy.¡± the heavenly hound placed its paw on the ball of light. the ball of light circled around the heavenly hound once before entering its body. instantly, the heavenly hound¡¯s eyes flashed with a faint light. it was also at this moment that another emotionless voice appeared at the scene. [first to help a level-seven heavenly hound reach level eight. you¡¯ve obtained a level-four treasure chest.] [first to help a level-seven heavenly hound reach level eight. hua nation¡¯s pollution has reduced by 10%.] lin fan did not expect to get another treasure chest. he opened it casually. [you¡¯ve obtained 200 constitution points. do you want to use them?] instantly, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ª2,000 constitution points.] his strength rose again. lin fan said to the heavenly hound, ¡°use these 200 constitution points.¡± after all, he had already obtained 2,000 constitution points because of the heavenly hound. these 200 constitution points would be the heavenly hound¡¯s reward. the heavenly hound did not hesitate and placed its paw on the ball of light. its white fur shook, and its strength increased. the enemies in front had been wiped out. lin fan did not have any intention of staying there. the two people and the dog walked forward at a brisk pace. the sky gradually darkened. at this moment, a large bird flew over the treetops above their heads. lin fan willed. [skill: gravity control!] the giant bird fell to the ground as if it had been crushed by a mountain. sam had seen similar situations several times. therefore, he was not surprised. he seized the time to gather firewood and prepare to roast the meat. in the past, there were many dead trees on the ground. however, today, sam searched for a long time but could not find a single dead tree. while sam was trying to find the dead wood, he did not notice that a branch behind him suddenly shook. no! it was not just one branch, but all the branches shook. then, the branches surrounded sam like tentacles. the heavenly hound in the distance barked. then, it charged forward and cut off all the branches with his sharp claws. lin fan heard the noise and walked over. at this moment, all the surrounding trees seemed to have come alive. they kept shaking, and their branches danced wildly. in fact¡­ not only did the branches around lin fan shake, but when night fell, all the trees in the forbidden area came alive. sam had the heavenly hound block the branches. they did not dare to act rashly. the others who were also in the forbidden area were not so lucky. some people were hung in the air by tree branches. someone was wrapped up like a dumpling. some people were chased by the branches and fled quickly. ¡­ in nashland¡¯s live broadcast room. ¡°oh, my god!¡± the host exclaimed in surprise. ¡°what happened? this mustn¡¯t be true! i actually saw all the trees move.¡± mike: [host, you¡¯re not mistaken. the big trees are indeed moving.] allen: [this is too strange!] henry fett: [oh, no! our hero is entangled by a tree branch, and he can¡¯t break free!] mmm: [someone save him!] ¡­ eagle country¡¯s live broadcast room. phoebus: [what is this place?] ff: [those trees are like terrifying monsters.] 8888: [no! he was caught!] ¡­ compared to the shock and uneasiness of the other countries, the scene in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room was very different. whose youth is not lost: [tree demons? are they all tree demons?] shan ye: [there are so many tree demons. could there be a granny tree demon?] wind: [granny tree demon? wouldn¡¯t that mean that nie xiaoqian might be involved?] flower: [i wonder if nie xiaoqian from the otherworld is good-looking.] ¡­ who would have thought that the hua audience would not be nervous or worried at all in such a critical moment? instead, they were concerned about nie xiaoqian. it was because they believed in lin fan¡¯s strength. they believed that he would not be in danger. the truth was just as everyone had expected. lin fan looked at the swaying trees and muttered, ¡°during the day, these trees don¡¯t move¡­ do they only move at night?¡± just as lin fan was muttering to himself, the surrounding branches turned into tentacles once more and pounced toward lin fan. ¡°are you in such a hurry?¡± lin fan hollered and pulled out his sword. [sword 1: draw the sword and slash the heavens!] several rays of light flashed, and the branches that flew over were all broken. the surrounding trees were almost all bald. however, the surface of these bald branches emitted a ray of light, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, dense branches grew out. at the same time, the energy in lin fan, sam, and the heavenly hound¡¯s bodies suddenly decreased. lin fan said, ¡°so it can absorb the energy of others to replenish itself? ¡°looks like¡­ we need to end this quickly. ¡°fire is more suitable for restraining trees.¡± as the sound of his voice faded, lin fan¡¯s entire body was engulfed in flames, lighting up the dark sky. lin fan picked up the star meteorite sword and waved it in the air. in the next moment, all the flames suddenly gathered and condensed, turning into countless fire swords hovering in the air. ¡°go!¡± lin fan said softly. [sword 9: 10,000 swords strike together!] Chapter 607 - 607 Destroyed; Envy! 607 destroyed; envy! lin fan¡¯s voice was not loud. however, it was like the voice of a god, ethereal and vast. it rippled through the entire forest. in the next moment, the countless fire swords that were hovering in the air shot out in all directions. wherever the fire sword passed by, the tree trunks and branches broke and burned rapidly, turning into ashes in an instant. no! not only were the trees attacked, but many bronze-armored warriors and all kinds of ferocious beasts in the forbidden area were also attacked and turned into ashes. as for those that were wrapped in branches, those who were chased by branches, and those who were entangled by branches¡­ all of them landed on the ground safely. they looked at the flaming longswords flying in front of them and were stunned. a moment later, the fire swords disappeared and the trees dissipated. the entire forbidden area became bare. there were no longer any trees, only flying smoke and dust. at this moment, a series of emotionless voices rang out in lin fan¡¯s ears. [the first to kill a level-six black python. you¡¯ve obtained a level-five treasure chest.] [the first to kill a level-six black python. hua nation¡¯s air quality has increased by 10%.] [the first to kill a level-seven tigerhawk. you¡¯ve obtained a level-six treasure chest.] [the first to kill a level-seven tigerhawk. hua nation¡¯s pollution has reduced by 10%.] [the first to kill a level-eight iron lion. you¡¯ve obtained a level-seven treasure chest.] [the first to kill a level-eight iron lion. hua nation¡¯s greenery has increased by 10%.] ¡­ [the first to destroy a level-eight forbidden area. you¡¯ve obtained a level-eight treasure chest.] [the first to destroy a level-eight forbidden area. a forbidden area has descended hua nation.] in the next moment¡­ lin fan, the heavenly hound, sam, and all the other heroes who were still in a daze disappeared from the level-eight forbidden area. then, they returned to the location where they had opened the 30-day golden treasure chest. in front of lin fan, a few treasure chests appeared. lin fan did not hesitate as he opened the chests one by one. [300 constitution points. do you want to use them?] [200 points of spiritual energy. do you want to use them?] [400 constitution points. do you want to use them?] ¡­ at the same time, lin fan¡¯s mind was filled with the crisp sound of notifications.

[you¡¯ve obtained beginner wood controlling technique. do you want to use it?] a clear notification sounded in his mind again. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ªadvanced wood controlling technique.] instantly, within lin fan¡¯s vision, the ground, rocks, and various other places were all filled with dense wood attribute particles. lin fan had a very vivid feeling that as long as he willed it, these wood attribute particles would quickly gather together and grow into a lush green field of grass and towering trees. incredibly marvelous! lin fan¡¯s lips curled up. clearly, he was in a good mood. then, he said to the heavenly hound, ¡°use these things.¡± the heavenly hound called out softly. it wagged its tail and touched the balls of light with its claws. as the orbs of light entered the heavenly hound¡¯s body, its aura became even more tyrannical. lin fan looked at the bird in his hand and said, ¡°go and get some firewood.¡± when the heavenly hound and sam heard this, they hurriedly brought over a large pile of firewood. the fire was lit after the seasonings were applied to the meat. soon, a fragrance filled the air. ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiao bing praised sincerely, ¡°he¡¯s so powerful!¡± protect the world flame: [this is the power of martial arts! there were so many swords!] love you: [such a large group of tree demons was actually killed in an instant.] other people¡¯s children: [too awesome!] green grassland: [god lin, you still say that you¡¯re not a god?] donut: the heavenly hound has gotten so many good things at once. it¡¯s another day of envying a dog.] hello: [another day of envying a dog.] born human: [another day of envying a dog.] coming is city man: [another day of envying a dog.] ¡­ the entire screen was soon filled with comments about people envying the heavenly hound. shadowless: [there seemed to be some special discoveries in the forbidden area that descended in hua nation last time. now, another forbidden area has appeared again. does anyone know where it appeared?] comparing: [f*ck! a large forest suddenly appeared in the center of quan city. moreover, it¡¯s the same forest as the level-eight forbidden area!] stay aloof from the world: [a big tree suddenly appeared in my house and scared me!] wan: [oh my god¡­ so many trees! however, the air smells good and refreshing! heavens! my shortsightedness seems to be gone!] shanchuan: [me too, i¡¯m suddenly not short-sighted anymore!] sun: [is the forbidden area that powerful? i¡¯ve been nearsighted for many years. i¡¯m going to quan city now!] blockhead: [i¡¯ll go too!] ¡­ many people set off for quan city. some people wanted to be treated for shortsightedness like the people in quan city. some people wanted to see if they could treat other illnesses. after all, if one could recover from vision-related ailments, one might be able to recover from other illnesses as well. there were also some people who were curious. however, when these people arrived at quan city, they were stopped by a large group of investigators and soldiers. from now on, quan city would be strictly managed. ¡­ in nashland¡¯s live broadcast room. the host jumped up excitedly and shouted, ¡°oh my god! what did i just see? a bunch of flaming longswords flew over from the sky? they burned down all the trees! ¡°i know, god must have saved them!¡± jack: [the heroes are fine. that¡¯s great!] fred: [just now¡­ what exactly happened?] galen: [amazing!] abbott: [the flaming longswords remind me of a mage.] job: [it¡¯s lin fan. it¡¯s hua nation¡¯s lin fan. he¡¯s the man who¡¯s called a god! he shot out countless flaming swords and destroyed the entire level-eight forbidden area. it¡¯s simply unbelievable.] forrest: [lin fan has the power of a god!] ebota: [lin fan has killed so many monsters. hua nation¡¯s energy, greenery, air quality, and human lifespan¡­ all of them has increased and improved! i heard that the air in hua nation is filled with a sweet smell!] klaus: [is it too late to join hua nation now?] this sentence seemed to resonate with many people. therefore, on that day, many people came to hua nation to become hua citizens. unfortunately, they were destined to make a wasted trip. that was because the hua household registration was not something that could be obtained just because one wanted to. Chapter 608 - 608 Attacked; Goodbye! 608 attacked; goodbye! lin fan had no idea what was going on in the real world. after he was full, he drew a circle of 200 square meters, took out his sleeping bag, and went to sleep comfortably. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, it was the second day. just like usual. lin fan, the heavenly hound, and sam found a direction and started walking. not long after, lin fan heard a notification in his mind. [ding! you¡¯ve been in the otherworld for 744 hours. you¡¯ve obtained beginner time spell.] instantly, countless flowing time particles appeared in lin fan¡¯s vision. lin fan willed the time particles to freeze. the leaves that were about to fall, the big bird that was flying in the air, the small snake that was crawling in the distance, and sam, who had just taken a step¡­the space seemed to have been frozen, and everything instantly stopped moving. no! it was not only this space, but the same thing occurred on earth. lin fan picked up a leaf in the air and tossed it casually. the fallen leaf seemed to have frozen in the air again. lin fan¡¯s lips curled up. not a bad ability! then, his mind moved slightly. in the next moment, the time particles resumed flowing. the leaves slowly fell, the big bird in the sky continued to fly, the little snake kept slithering, and sam took a firm step forward¡­ everything returned to normal. the people watching the live broadcast on earth were still eating and sending comments¡­ no one noticed anything unusual. in the blink of an eye, five days had passed. in the past few days, lin fan had encountered a few ferocious beasts. however, he did not even need to make a move. all of them were taken care of by the heavenly hound. in addition, lin fan had obtained 800 constitution points and 600 spiritual energy points from the system. ¡­ the hero of li country was called eugene giles. he was a sniper from a dark organization. after eugene giles was selected, he prepared two sniper rifles and a large bag of bullets. most of the heroes who arrived in the otherworld were in a sorry state. when they encountered ferocious beasts, they would either be eaten or flee in panic. at the same time, they prayed silently in their hearts that they would not encounter any more ferocious beasts. eugene giles was completely different. after he arrived in the otherworld, he found a high vantage point and used his superb shooting ability to shoot the eye of a giant lion with a snake tail. he obtained 20 points of spiritual energy. immediately, eugene giles¡¯ perception and shooting ability were greatly improved. this allowed eugene giles to experience the benefits of hunting. therefore, he began to actively hunt fierce beasts. later on, not only did he hunt ferocious beasts, he also chose to kill people when he met them. this was because most humans had resources on them. in a month, eugene giles had killed four beasts and five humans. today, as usual, he found a hidden spot. then, like a wooden stake, he stood there motionless. ¡­ in li country¡¯s live broadcast room. barry: [i wonder if eugene giles will encounter a ferocious beast today.] huston: [it¡¯s just that¡­ eugene giles likes to kill people. he¡¯s a little scary.] norton: [scary? this is the law of the jungle! survival of the fittest!] job: [that¡¯s right! in addition, i like seeing him kill people. one shot! bang! he¡¯s so handsome!] klaus: [eugene giles, you¡¯re the best! you are our hero!] hero? that was right! eugene giles was indeed a hero. after he killed the four beasts, li nation¡¯s land area, oil, ores, and air quality had all increased. at this moment, eugene giles, who was originally motionless, suddenly curled his lips. ¡°there¡¯s another prey,¡± he whispered. a tall and handsome figure, a brownish-skinned man, and an animal that looked like a wolf or dog appeared in his scope. they were lin fan, sam, and the heavenly hound. ¡°not bad!¡± eugene giles said. ¡°there¡¯s a lot of food in the guy¡¯s backpack. there¡¯s even a dog. it seems¡­ i can eat my fill for a long time.¡± ¡­ in li country¡¯s live broadcast room. the originally excited atmosphere immediately changed. xiu mu: [it¡¯s lin fan!] making: [wait, eugene giles, what are you doing?] john: [eugene giles, don¡¯t! don¡¯t shoot!] armstrong: [don¡¯t shoot!] ¡­ the entire screen was filled with warnings. that was because they all knew just how powerful and terrifying lin fan was. he was a true god. guns would probably be useless on him. once eugene angered the other party, the consequences would definitely be terrifying. ¡­ all these attempts to stop and persuade eugene were obviously useless. eugene¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°goodbye!¡± he pulled the trigger three times. three golden bullets pierced through the air and shot toward the heads of lin fan, the heavenly hound, and sam. when the bullets were only half a meter away from them, lin fan suddenly raised his head. it was also at this moment that the three bullets froze in the air. no! it was not just the bullets that stopped in the air. the heavenly hound that took a step forward, the leaves above its head, and the big bird that was flying in the air¡­ all stopped in the air. [skill: beginner time spell!] lin fan looked at eugene giles and said, ¡°killing people with guns?¡± as soon as he finished speaking, lin fan slowly turned the bullets in the air. it was also at this moment¡­ the front leg of the heavenly hound continued to move forward, the fallen leaves slowly drifted down, and the big bird continued to fly¡­ the golden bullets flew back to where they came from. three soft sounds were heard. three bullets simultaneously pierced through eugene giles¡¯ head, who was hiding in the distance. his entire head instantly exploded. red and white shot out, making it extremely bloody. ¡°master, there seems to be gunshots. is there a battle?¡± sam asked. as he spoke, he kept looking around. lin fan smiled. ¡°you heard wrong. let¡¯s go.¡± he did not stop and walked ahead leisurely. the heavenly hound looked at the spot where eugene giles had fallen and followed behind lin fan. ¡°did i hear wrong?¡± sam scratched his head. then, he caught up to lin fan. ¡­ on the other hand, an emotionless voice sounded in everyone¡¯s ears. [eugene giles has died. li country¡¯s desert area has increased by 20%.] suddenly, a wisp of dense black gas spread out from the void gate. in an instant, a city in li country turned into a desert. countless buildings collapsed like broken shadows. some people who lived in the city stood in the scorching desert with blank expressions. a gust of wind blew many people into a mouthful of sand. some were even buried in the boundless desert. awe-inspiring, terrifying! despair! Chapter 609 - 609 Level-Nine Forbidden Area; Desert Army Locust! 609 level-nine forbidden area; desert army locust! li country¡¯s live broadcast room was in a hubbub. carl: [no!] myrens: [eugene giles, why did you shoot?] josh: [why?!] bevan: [ga city has become a desert!] darrell: [didn¡¯t eugene giles shoot? why is lin fan and the others fine, but eugene giles¡¯ head was blown up? who can tell me what happened?] scale: [our country is finished!] ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiao bing said, ¡°the scenery in the otherworld is really good.¡± broadsky: [i think i heard gunshots too.] omen: [they¡¯re gunshots! eugene giles from li country just shot at god lin! however, god lin is fine, but eugene giles had his head blown off.] zhao hai: [f*ck! i just saw the live broadcast of li country. eugene giles died so tragically, but it feels good!] 1314: [hahaha! he even dared to shoot god lin. he probably didn¡¯t even know how he died, right?] ¡­ naturally, lin fan had no idea about the reactions of hua nation and li country. killing eugene giles was just a small matter. he did not take it to heart at all. lin fan, the heavenly hound, sam, and the rest had just left when an emotionless voice suddenly sounded in their ears. [entering level-nine forbidden area, countdown!] [10!] [9!] [8!] ¡­ the same voice rang in the ears of everyone in the otherworld. most of the people had a look of fear on their faces. this was because they still clearly remembered how terrifying the level-eight forbidden area was. in fact, many had almost died inside. what would the level-nine forbidden area be like this time? no matter what they thought, it was obviously useless. [2!] [1!] as the emotionless voice fell, lin fan, the heavenly hound, sam, and all the heroes from the other countries disappeared from where they were. in the next moment, everyone appeared in the vast desert. a dazzling sun hung in the air like a fireball. hot sweat dripped down their faces. ¡°it¡¯s so hot,¡± sam said. ¡°is the level-nine forbidden area in the desert? there are also cacti there, a huge number of them! ¡°but what danger can there be in the desert?¡± as soon as sam finished speaking, the distance suddenly became foggy. then, it covered the sky and the sun. ¡°sandstorm!¡± sam¡¯s pupils constricted as he shouted. ¡°master, there¡¯s a sandstorm ahead!¡± after saying that, he hurriedly looked around as if he was looking for a place to hide. however, he soon realized that he was surrounded by yellow sand and there was no way to seek shelter. ¡°master, what should we do?¡± sam asked anxiously. ¡°it¡¯s such a huge sandstorm. we might be buried alive!¡± ¡°this isn¡¯t a sandstorm,¡± lin fan said. ¡°not a sandstorm?¡± sam was stunned. then, he looked forward again. soon, he frowned and said, ¡°it¡¯s a sandstorm¡­ ah! no! ¡°bugs, so many bugs!¡± black carapace with sharp antennae¡­ that was right! there was an uncountable number of bugs. it was not a sandstorm! ¡°why are there so many bugs? they¡¯re flying toward us!¡± sam shouted. at this moment, the dense swarm of bugs was getting closer and closer to lin fan and the others. when they passed by the cacti, the number of cacti decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye. soon, there was nothing left. these bugs actually possessed terrifying destructive power! ¡°master, what should we do?¡± sam shouted in horror. ¡°it¡¯s fine,¡± lin fan said casually. the insects flew extremely fast. 100 meters. 90 meters. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, the dense swarm of bugs had reached ten meters away. seeing this¡­ sam¡¯s forehead was covered in sweat. firstly, it was from the heat. secondly, it was from fear. there were simply too many bugs. just their numbers alone were enough to make one¡¯s scalp tingle. moreover, they had terrifying destructive power. at this moment, the densely packed insects suddenly lit up with raging flames. however, these flames did not cause much damage to the bugs. they continued flapping their wings and turned into fireballs that filled the sky as they continued to fly toward lin fan and the others. lin fan was slightly surprised, ¡°oh? resistant to fire?¡± then, he said thoughtfully, ¡°could it be because they¡¯ve been living in the desert for a long time? ¡°if you¡¯re not afraid of fire, what about ice?¡± lin fan willed the ice particles to condense. a thick layer of ice immediately formed on the bugs that were originally burning with flames. then, the bugs that filled the sky turned into huge ice cubes and fell to the desert with a dull sound. this scene stunned sam. his mouth was half open, and he could not speak for a long time. after a while, an emotionless voice rang out. [first to kill a level-six desert army locust. you¡¯ve obtained a level-six treasure chest.] [first to kill a level-six desert army locust. the number of endangered creatures in hua nation has increased by 50%.] ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiao bing was stunned. ¡°it¡¯s hailing in the desert.¡± whose fault i¡¯m lonely: [f*ck! when those bugs appeared, they almost scared me to death! fortunately, they were frozen in the blink of an eye!] without a trace: [was this also done by god lin?] warm wine: [of course, this was done by god lin! other than him, who else could make a miracle like this, having hail appear in the desert? god lin is so awesome!] boiling water: [endangered creatures have increased by 50%. if god lin gets this reward a few more times, won¡¯t every family be able to raise a panda in the future?!] gulugulu: [i want to raise elk!] flowing water on the mountain: [i want to raise a tiger!] ¡­ gradually, the comments in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room turned into people saying what kind of animals they would like to raise. it was as though they were in an animal-related live broadcast. ¡­ lin fan was completely oblivious to all of this. he immediately focused his attention on the level-six treasure chest in front of him and slowly opened it. [you¡¯ve obtained 400 constitution points. do you want to use them?] then, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ª4,000 constitution points.] the surging energy flowed within lin fan¡¯s body. his strength increased once again. lin fan looked at sam and said, ¡°use these 400 constitution points.¡± without waiting for sam to respond, lin fan waved his hand and the ball of light entered sam¡¯s body. sam felt the power in his body skyrocketing and came back to his senses. he said excitedly, ¡°thank you, master!¡± lin fan waved his hand and continued walking forward. Chapter 610 - 610 Attack; Regrow Limbs! 610 attack; regrow limbs! when many people first saw the desert, they found it very novel. however, as time passed, it became dull and boring. this was because other than the yellow sand that filled the sky, it was very difficult to see any other animals or plants. people in the desert would get tired easily. dehydration and heatstroke occurred from time to time in the desert. fortunately, the heroes selected from each country had all obtained at least one treasure chest. some of them had spiritual power, some had physical strength that far surpassed superman, and some had special abilities. this also allowed them to last longer in the desert. abraham was one of the heroes of bear country. a gust of wind swept over the sand. abraham did not have time to cover his mouth and nose with his hand. ¡°damn it, it¡¯s all sand!¡± he spat. then, he looked into the distance and said, ¡°when can we leave this place?¡± abraham could only lower his head and continue walking forward. ¡­ in bear country¡¯s live broadcast room. the host sighed and said, ¡°i hope abraham can walk out of the desert as soon as possible.¡± alison: [god bless!] dodge: [the temperature in the desert is high during the day, and it¡¯ll usually be very cold at night. i hope abraham can persevere. i¡¯ll pray for him.] hunter: [sigh, if only abraham followed lin fan last time.] heiss: [yeah. i just saw hua nation¡¯s live broadcast. lin fan created large hail in the desert. if you follow lin fan, you won¡¯t feel hot in the desert at all.] abbott: [desert hail? heavens! that¡¯s so amazing! is lin fan really a god?] marlin: [i think even god isn¡¯t as powerful as him.] girukos: [now, i only beg abraham not to encounter any terrifying monsters.] ¡­ however, sometimes, the more one worried about something, the easier it was for it to happen. at this moment, a giant scorpion that was about five meters tall and covered in gold suddenly jumped out of the sand in front of abraham. a terrifying baleful aura surged out, stirring up the yellow sand that filled the sky. then, the giant scorpion raised its steel pincers and smashed them at abraham. abraham¡¯s expression changed drastically, and he quickly dodged to the side. finally, he managed to dodge. sand and stones flew everywhere, and the entire scene immediately turned gray. after missing its first attack, the giant scorpion raised its steel pincers and smashed down again. abraham dodged again. although the giant scorpion was big and heavy, it was still a giant scorpion. however, its speed was not slow at all. after dodging a few times, abraham¡¯s reaction slowed down. so much so that¡­ when the giant scorpion smashed down with its steel pincers again, the sharp steel pincers hit abraham¡¯s right leg. his right leg fell neatly onto the desert. blood spurted out, and a miserable howl spread out. the giant scorpion did not care about abraham¡¯s screams at all. it raised its steel pincers and was about to hit abraham¡¯s head. at this moment, a dazzling light shot over from afar. the next moment, the giant scorpion¡¯s steel pincers broke and fell to the ground. just as the giant scorpion was in a daze and was at a loss, its body split into two from the middle and fell to the ground with a dull sound. then, a tall and handsome figure, an animal that looked like a dog or wolf, and a man with brown skin strode over. it was lin fan, the heavenly hound, and sam. when abraham saw them, he endured the pain of his broken leg and said, ¡°t¡¯s you¡­¡± with a wave of his hand, a golden light shot out. the golden light circled around abraham. then, his severed right leg grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye. in just a dozen seconds, he actually grew a new leg. [skill: advanced radiance of life!] abraham looked at his newly grown right leg and was slightly stunned. then, he stood up in disbelief. he jumped a few times on the spot. finally, he confirmed that his leg had really recovered. ¡°my leg!¡± abraham shouted excitedly. ¡°my leg grew back! ¡°that¡¯s great! ¡°that¡¯s great!¡± soon, he thought of lin fan¡¯s actions and said, ¡°it was you. you helped me, right? ¡°it must be you! ¡°thank you. thank you so much, lin fan.¡± lin fan smiled. ¡°you¡¯re welcome.¡± be it bear country or abraham himself, lin fan had a good impression of them. saving him was just a piece of cake. at this moment, an emotionless voice sounded. [first to kill a level-six desert golden scorpion. you¡¯ve obtained a level-six treasure chest.] [first to kill a level-six desert golden scorpion. hua nation¡¯s mineral resources have increased by 10%.] ¡­ in bear country¡¯s live broadcast room. ¡°thank you, lin fan!¡± the host said. allen: [who knows how the desert golden scorpion died?] marvin: [it¡¯s lin fan! it was killed by lin fan with a single strike! he¡¯s so powerful!] maria: [he killed the desert golden scorpion with one strike and easily let abraham grow a leg. he¡¯s so handsome! lin fan, i love you!] hill: [lin fan, i want to marry you!] aberke: [lin fan, i want to hug you to sleep!] it had to be said that foreigners were more open-minded when it came to expressing their emotions than hua people. ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. ¡°regrowing limbs?¡± xiao bing was stunned. active person: [f*ck! that¡¯s a divine technique! it¡¯s another divine technique!] unnamed hero: [invincible! he¡¯s simply invincible!] warm wine: [no wonder god lin gave the beginner radiance of life to the heavenly hound. he probably didn¡¯t even like that thing.] stone man: [he can jump dozens of meters high, freeze the desert, summon divine lightning¡­ and now, he can even regrow limbs! god lin is awesome!] kite: [i used to wonder how someone could solve several math problems and invent high-tech gadgets in various fields! now, i finally understand. it¡¯s because he¡¯s not human but a god!] water: god lin, when are you coming back to earth? please accept me as your disciple, master lin!] want to chase someone: [please accept me as your disciple!] w: [please accept me as your disciple!] ¡­ naturally, lin fan did not know that many women in bear country had started to covet his body. he also did not know that hua people wanted him to take them as his disciples. he looked at the level-six treasure chest in front of him and chose to open it. [you¡¯ve obtained 400 points of spiritual energy. do you want to use them?] at the same time, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ª4,000 points of spiritual energy.] then, lin fan said to sam, ¡°use them.¡± with a wave of his hand, the light orb in the treasure chest instantly entered sam¡¯s body. in an instant, sam¡¯s mind became extremely clear, and his entire person seemed to have been sublimated. Chapter 611 - 611 Master; Magic? 611 master; magic? after sam used 400 points of spiritual energy¡­ originally, many people wanted to take lin fan as their master. at this moment, the number had multiplied. someone even created an online discipleship forum, and the number of members reached millions in a day. moreover, as time passed, the number continued to grow. on the other hand, when sam gilbevan¡¯s family saw that their son had obtained 400 points of spiritual power, they rushed to lin fan¡¯s house and thanked lin tao, dai weixue, and lin xiaoyao. regarding these¡­ lin fan had no idea. he looked at abraham, and his eyes moved slightly. [skill replication: beginner sound wave technique] lin fan felt his throat itch. then, he felt that as long as he moved his mind, he could produce a powerful sound wave. in fact¡­ it was also because abraham had the begginer sound wave technique that he let out a loud cry when his leg was broken that lin fan heard it and rushed over. abraham said, ¡°lin fan, can i come with you?¡± previously, he felt that he could face all kinds of dangers by himself. then, he continued to become stronger. however, after experiencing what had just happened, abraham understood that he might not be able to withstand the danger. lin fan had a good impression of him. otherwise, he would not have saved him. in addition, sam was already beside him, so it was fine to add another person. thus, he nodded and said, ¡°sure.¡± ¡°thank you!¡± abraham said happily. the three of them and the dog once again set foot on the road ahead. beads of sweat rolled down abraham¡¯s forehead. his lips were dry and cracked, and his head was a little dizzy. he looked at sam and lin fan. he asked, ¡°you¡­ do you guys want to pee?¡± lin fan shook his head. sam said, ¡°if you want to pee, you can pee directly. it won¡¯t be broadcasted live.¡±¡± abraham said, ¡°no¡­ no, i¡¯m just a little thirsty.¡± sam and lin fan were stunned. therefore, he asked them if they wanted to pee because he wanted to¡­ drink it? lin fan coughed dryly and said, ¡°actually, we have water.¡± then, he waved his hand and a bottle of mineral water appeared in his hand. lin fan had prepared a lot of water in his internal space. he did not have to worry about drinking at all. of course, it did not matter even if they finished it. lin fan had a advanced water control technique. he could easily condense the water particles in the air and form an endless amount of water. abraham looked at the mineral water in front of him, and his throat became even more dry. however, he did not immediately grab it. instead, he said with difficulty, ¡°you¡­ you guys drink first.¡± it had to be said that abraham was a good person. even though he was thirsty, he wanted others to drink first. lin fan said, ¡°it¡¯s okay. you can drink. we still have a lot.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, his mind moved again. then, two new bottles of mineral water appeared in his hands. abraham was dumbfounded. what was going on? magic? he did not care too much about it. he picked up the mineral water and gulped it down to his heart¡¯s content. only then did he say, ¡°l-lin fan, do you know magic?¡± lin fan smiled and shook his head. he did not explain further. as time passed, the scorching sun finally seemed to have burned out the last of its fuel and began to turn yellow and dim. the sky gradually darkened. abraham took out some minced meat from his dirty backpack and said, ¡°lin fan, sam, eat something.¡± even if it was just a bit of minced meat, for people who were walking in the desert, it could save their lives. at this moment, a large bird that was half the height of a person flew past in the distance with a long shadow. ¡°the food is here,¡± lin fan said. as if to confirm lin fan¡¯s words, the bird fell from the sky, unable to move anymore. sam was already used to this kind of situation. therefore, he appeared very calm. ¡°a bird!¡± abraham said excitedly. ¡°a big bird fell from the sky! ¡°we¡¯re so lucky! ¡°unfortunately, there¡¯s no firewood here. i¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll have to eat it raw.¡± even though he was talking about eating it raw, abraham could not help but swallow his saliva. as long as he could fill his stomach, eating raw meat was not a problem. lin fan picked up the bird and grabbed it. a knife appeared in his hand. soon, the bird¡¯s fur was gone. then, lin fan willed all sorts of seasonings to appear before him. he smeared them all over the bird meat. in the next moment, flames appeared out of thin air under the big bird that had been smeared with seasoning. seeing this¡­ abraham¡¯s eyes widened, and he stammered, ¡°fire¡­flames¡­ flames are burning in the air!¡± then, he said in disbelief, ¡°lin fan, you really know magic!¡± sam could not stand it anymore and laughed. ¡°this isn¡¯t magic, it¡¯s kung fu! hua kung fu!¡± ¡°hua kung fu?¡± abraham was stunned. ¡°yes!¡± sam nodded vigorously. ¡°besides, this is nothing to master. you¡¯ll know in the future!¡± as he spoke, sam could not help but look fascinated. at this moment, a rich fragrance spread out from the big bird¡¯s body, and it was very tempting. abraham looked at the big golden bird and could not help but swallow. lin fan took the knife and cut a few times before saying, ¡°yes, almost.¡± he first cut a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. he muttered, ¡°sure enough, it¡¯s better to roast meat with firewood for that smoky smell.¡± in fact, this was also the reason why lin fan had sam and the heavenly hound collect firewood every day. then, lin fan said, ¡°you guys eat too.¡± ¡°yes, master,¡± sam said. as he spoke, he stepped forward and tore a piece of meat. the heavenly hound bit off one of the bird¡¯s legs. seeing that everyone was eating, abraham did not hesitate. the roasted bird entered abraham¡¯s mouth, and his mouth was filled with the delicious taste. he sighed sincerely. ¡°it¡¯s so delicious!¡± then, he took two big bites. he sighed again. ¡°i can guarantee it! even the chefs in the top restaurants in bear country would never be able to cook such delicious meat! ¡°it¡¯s so delicious!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he took another bite of the roasted meat. the grease and juice spurted out. ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiao bing said, ¡°it¡¯s time for the daily eating broadcast again.¡± i¡¯m in a daze with you: [looking at the white rice in my bowl, i want to say, why wasn¡¯t i chosen? i don¡¯t want constitution or spiritual energy points. i just want to eat god lin roasted meat!] crescent moon: [it looks so good!] little painter: [master, can i eat your roasted meat just once in the future?] punch: [silently drooling.] ¡­ as more and more people pined for lin fan¡¯s roasted meat, someone seemed to have detected a business opportunity. they hurriedly registered the trademark for the names god lin barbecue, lin fan barbecue, and so on. Chapter 612 - 612 Building; Little Thunderclap Monastery! 612 building; little thunderclap monastery! naturally, lin fan did not know that his name was already affiliated to roasted meat. after a full meal, the sky turned completely dark. the hotter the desert was during the day, the colder it would be at night. in the vast desert, a gust of wind blew, and they trembled. ¡°there doesn¡¯t seem to be any cover nearby,¡± abraham said. ¡°lin fan, you sleep first. i¡¯ll keep watch.¡± sleeping in the desert was very dangerous. especially the forbidden desert. no one knew if there would be a sudden sandstorm. if that happened, all those who were sleeping would probably be buried alive. no one knew if a terrifying monster would suddenly appear. in that case, everyone who slept might directly become food. therefore, generally speaking, night watch was very necessary. while others slept, the night watchers had to stay awake in the cold desert. there was no doubt that the night watchers had a hard time. however, abraham took the initiative to embrace it. ¡°there¡¯s no need to keep watch,¡± said lin fan. then, he stood up and drew a 300-square-meter circle around him. [skill: draw a circle as your home!] instantly, the cold wind in the desert seemed to have stopped. the temperature started to rise. just as abraham was confused, lin fan took out three sleeping bags. ¡°go to sleep.¡± abraham widened his eyes again and said in disbelief, ¡°these are¡­ sleeping bags? ¡°oh my god! ¡°where did you get them? ¡°your magic tricks are amazing!¡± ¡°this is kung fu!¡± sam corrected. ¡°hua kung fu!¡± lin fan did not explain further and went into his sleeping bag. tonight, he slept very soundly. the sleeping bag was warm and comfortable, and the desert made the sleeping bag even softer. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, it was the second day. the sun seemed to have been fueled up, and soon, the entire desert became extremely hot. the air¡­ started to twist again. lin fan, the heavenly hound, sam, and abraham headed into the unknown. at this moment, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! you¡¯ve been in the otherworld for 864 hours. you¡¯ve obtained 600 constitution points.] his strength increased once again. three people and a dog walked around during the day, ate meat, and slept at night. they lived a very comfortable life. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, five days had passed. in these five days, they had encountered three monsters and lin fan had killed them all easily. he had gained 10,000 constitution points and 6,000 points of spiritual energy. every single day, lin fan¡¯s strength would skyrocket. ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. candle in the wind: [although i¡¯ve been looking at the desert for a few days, i don¡¯t feel sick of it at all. it¡¯s still so beautiful!] qingchun: [i think it¡¯s beautiful too.] tian tian: [but the desert is so dangerous.] shangshan ruoshui: [it¡¯s really dangerous! i just watched other broadcasts. a few heroes from country f, country m, and country a have been eaten by monsters in the desert. it¡¯s too terrifying.] future: [in the desert, there is nothing but sand¡­ it¡¯s too easy for monsters to hide.] 123: [f*ck! the hero of franks nation has just seen a building in the desert. however, before he could enter, he was eaten by a snake.] just love you: [i saw it too!] chunchun: [could it be a mirage?] feng: [are you talking about the one in front?] sweating: [f*ck! god lin has also encountered that building!] ¡­ sam, who was walking in the desert, shouted, ¡°master, there seems to be a building ahead!¡± in fact, he did not need to say anything. lin fan had seen it long ago. however, he did not pay too much attention to it. not only did he see it, but he also saw that¡­ the shape of this building was a little like a temple. ¡°there are buildings in the desert?¡± abraham was surprised.¡± ¡°could it be a mirage?¡± ¡°however, isn¡¯t this the otherworld? there shouldn¡¯t be a mirage of such a building, right?¡± at this moment, the heavenly hound suddenly let out a loud cry. lin fan understood what it meant. ¡°there¡¯s something up ahead!¡± in the next moment, a giant golden python that was several meters thick dashed out. a terrifying baleful aura spread out, causing one¡¯s heart to tremble. then, the snake opened its ferocious teeth and pounced on everyone, as if it wanted to swallow everyone in one fell swoop. regarding this¡­ lin fan did not even lift his eyelids as he pulled out his sword. a crescent-shaped sword light shot out. in the next moment¡­ the head of the golden python fell on the desert with a dull thud like a boulder rolling down a mountain. blood spurted out! no matter how strong a demon was, it would not be able to block any of lin fan¡¯s attacks. then, an emotionless voice sounded. [the first to kill a level-seven golden python. you¡¯ve obtained a level-seven treasure chest.] [the first to kill a level-seven golden python. you¡¯ve reduced hua nation¡¯s pollution by 10%.] lin fan opened the treasure chest. [600 points of spiritual energy. do you want to use them?] a pleasant notification immediately sounded in his mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received 6,000 points of spiritual energy.] lin fan casually threw the ball of light into the heavenly hound¡¯s body. then, the group continued to walk forward. after a while, they arrived in front of an ancient and dilapidated building. the building had a shadow. it was not a mirage! it was a building that really existed in the desert! it was simply unbelievable! lin fan raised his head slowly. the next moment, he was slightly stunned. that was because there was an ancient plaque hanging above the building. on the plaque, there were a few traditional hua characters: [little thunderclap monastery!] ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiao bing covered her mouth and said, ¡°little thunderclap monastery? what¡¯s going on?¡± the comments in the live broadcast room were like a torrential rain that completely filled the entire screen. cold salad: [f*ck!] misaka mikoto: [f*ck!] shangguan ming: [f*ck!] speed examiner: [f*ck!] ¡­ after a while, other comments appeared on the screen. jiang chen: [aren¡¯t god lin and the others in the forbidden area of the otherworld? why are there hua characters?] wind¡¯s worry, cloud¡¯s worry: [little thunderclap monastery? wasn¡¯t this the temple in journey to the west?] red swelling: [could it be that the otherworld is the world of the west?] world unification: [hiss! those mythological stories are about the otherworld?] human beings were originally good: [f*ck! if the otherworld is journey to the west, then does that mean we weren¡¯t reading fairy tales but historical records?] faint tea fragrance: [if that¡¯s the case, do all the people in the myths and legends also exist? there¡¯s the grand supreme elder? the jade emperor? even sun wukong?] hello tomorrow: [my blood is suddenly boiling!]] rice noodle: [do you think god lin will meet buddha in little thunderclap monastery later?] honest: [this¡­ that shouldn¡¯t be possible, right? moreover, little thunderclap monastery seemed to be a calamity and trap in journey to the west.] Chapter 613 - 613 Alive; How Dare?! 613 alive; how dare?! abraham noticed the change in lin fan¡¯s expression and asked, ¡°you¡­ do you recognize the words on it?¡± ¡°little thunderclap monastery,¡± lin fan said. ji erku¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard that. ¡°monastery? a monastery? the martial arts of the world came from a monastery! master, are there many powerful martial arts manuals in here?¡± sam shouted excitedly. lin fan¡¯s lips twitched. did sam use to watch martial arts dramas every day? lin fan shook his head and walked forward. he was also filled with curiosity toward this little thunderclap monastery. generally speaking, a monastery was a place to worship buddha. it should be majestic and grand. however, the moment everyone entered the little thunderclap monastery, they felt a gust of cold wind assaulting them, causing them to involuntarily shiver. the light inside was extremely dim, and if the few of them were far away, they would not even be able to see each other¡¯s figures clearly. the few of them kept moving forward¡­ abraham frowned. ¡°there seems to be something ahead.¡± everyone continued to walk forward with doubts. in the next moment, a ten-meter-tall, malevolent-looking statue with ten snake tails appeared in front of them. there was no buddha statue in the temple, but there was a statue of a monster. how strange was that? when he saw the statue, abraham¡¯s heart trembled inexplicably. his hair stood on end. ¡°i don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on, but my heart is suddenly palpitating,¡± he said in a low voice. ¡°i¡­¡± sam said in a trembling voice. ¡°me too.¡± at this moment, a dull voice suddenly sounded in the darkness. sam said in fear, ¡°what¡­ what¡¯s that sound?¡± the heavenly hound barked into the darkness. however, lin fan¡¯s expression remained calm. others could not see the situation in the darkness, but he could. this was because he possessed night vision. in the next moment, a skinny man slowly appeared in front of everyone. he was a fair-skinned person. in this dark space, he looked extremely awe-inspiring and strange. ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. 123 wooden man: [isn¡¯t this the hero of franks nation, anthony lawson? he died not long ago!] flying kite in the sky: [that¡¯s right! it¡¯s anthony lawson! he¡¯s a painter, and i¡¯ve seen his interviews before.] heart: [wasn¡¯t he eaten by a snake? why is he here again?] forced by life: [could the snake have just swallowed him but didn¡¯t digest him?] great great great: [how is that possible? i saw him get his head bitten by a snake! his limbs were all bitten off! it was very bloody!] clear sky: [this¡­ could it be a ghost?] as soon as that person commented that, the comments in the live broadcast room suddenly stopped. ¡­ when sam saw that it was a man, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief and said in english, ¡°hello, i¡¯m sam from bai country. who are you?¡± the man grinned, revealing a set of thick teeth. the next moment, his mouth opened wide¡­ his entire mouth actually became several meters in size, and behind it, a snake body that was several meters thick stretched out! it was actually a giant python! the python rushed toward sam, lin fan, abraham, and the heavenly hound. that appearance¡­ it was as if it wanted to swallow them all in one gulp. it was ferocious and terrifying! sam, abraham, and the others all turned pale. lin fan pulled out his sword calmly. a sword light flashed. the thick silver snake body was split into two from the middle. lin fan slashed it with his sword! fresh blood flowed freely. an emotionless voice rang out at the scene. [the first to kill a level-seven silver python. you¡¯ve obtained a level-seven treasure chest.] [the first to kill a level-seven silver python. the number of endangered animals in hua nation has increased by 50%.] ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiao bing patted her chest lightly and said, ¡°that scared me to death.¡± above the mountains: [f*ck! that person is actually silver python!] wind: [no wonder. i said before that the guy looked like the hero of franks nation. so it turns out this is the case.] life essence: [fortunately, god lin¡¯s reaction was fast enough.] sky lifting pillar: [god lin is invincible!] swaying trees: [hehe, the number of endangered animals has increased by 50% again! does that mean that i might be able to raise pandas soon? god lin, keep it up!] ¡­ lin fan opened the treasure chest in front of him. [you¡¯ve obtained 500 points of spiritual energy. do you want to use them?] at the same time, a clear notification sounded in his mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ª5,000 points of spiritual energy.] lin fan turned around and said, ¡°heavenly hound, use these 500 points of spiritual energy.¡± the heavenly hound wagged its tail and went forward to touch the ball of light with its paw. when lin fan opened the treasure chest and the heavenly hound accepted the 500 points of spiritual energy, no one noticed that the stone floor was like a sponge that quickly sucked in the python¡¯s blood. soon, there was nothing left. on the other hand, the black eyes of the huge statue not far away shook slightly. it was very strange. then, cracks appeared on the surface of the statue, and dust fell on sam¡¯s head. he rubbed his head and muttered, ¡°there¡¯s so much dust.¡± the heavenly hound, which had just used its spiritual power, suddenly opened its mouth and let out a loud cry. at the same time, all the fur on its body stood up. it was ready to fight at any time! ¡°what¡¯s wrong, heavenly hound?¡± sam asked. at this moment, the cracking sound became louder and louder. the stones on the surface of the statue fell down one after another, smashing into the ground with a loud sound. ¡°master, this place seems to be collapsing!¡± sam cried out in fear. however, lin fan did not seem to hear him at all. he just raised his head and looked ahead. sam could not help but raise his head. in the next moment, sam¡¯s eyes and mouth opened wide. he was completely stunned. that was because he saw that the giant monster statue in front of them had actually come alive. after the rocks fell off the surface, the monster revealed its golden skin. ten thick snake tails were twisting and turning. on its ferocious head, its sharp eyes were filled with a scarlet light. its awe-inspiring and extremely terrifying aura made the air turn cold. at this moment¡­ even the entire space seemed to have been frozen by this terrifying aura. nothing was able to move at all. at this moment, the giant monster let out a loud voice. ¡°how dare you?!¡± its voice was like thunder, exploding everyone¡¯s ears. the entire small thunderclap monastery started shaking. the monster was actually speaking human language! moreover, it was speaking hua language! Chapter 614 - 614 Resurrected from the Dead; Undying! 614 resurrected from the dead; undying! in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiao bing¡¯s eyes widened, and her pretty face was filled with disbelief. as a result, she did not even explain it immediately. void heart: [f*ck! that statue is actually alive!] midnight: [also, it can speak chinese! what¡¯s going on?] dongfanghong: [little thunderclap monastery, journey to the west¡­ is the otherworld really journey to the west? journey to the west is a historical record of the otherworld!] zi mei: [how scary! that monster is so terrifying! even through the screen, i¡¯m trembling in fear.] demon scorpion: [this is definitely not an ordinary monster. i hope god lin can defeat it!]] ¡­ xia bing, xia xue, hu tian, and the others watched the live broadcast without blinking. they clenched their small fists and said seriously, ¡°lin fan can definitely defeat it!¡± obviously, they were also shocked by the giant monster¡¯s aura and felt its terror. ¡­ in the otherworld. ¡°you are the first batch of humans to come before me. it¡¯s very rare.¡± ¡°i haven¡¯t spoken to humans for a long time. logically speaking, i should have a good chat with you guys to relieve my boredom. ¡°after all, i¡¯ve been here for too long. it¡¯s too boring. ¡°but you actually killed little gold and little silver¡­how dare you?!¡± a terrifying gust of cold wind shot out, blowing away all the falling rocks on the ground and smashing them into the wall in the distance. this directly turned them into powder. at this moment, lin fan, who had not spoken for a long time, finally opened his mouth and said indifferently, ¡°have you heard of this saying? ¡°villains die from talking too much!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, lin fan pulled out his star meteorite sword. [sword 1: draw the sword and slash the sky!] a sharp sword light shot out from the sky and slashed at the monster¡¯s body. the sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the scene. the terrifying sword energy caused the little thunderclap monastery to crack, as if it would collapse at any moment. a huge wound appeared on the monster¡¯s golden skin, and blood splashed everywhere. however, it did not fall. instead, it let out a crazy roar. ¡°how dare you hurt me?!¡± the deafening roar caused the entire palace to tremble. this was the first time lin fan had failed to kill an enemy with a single strike. then, the ten snake heads behind the monster opened their mouths and gave off a terrifying aura as they bit at lin fan. their speed was extremely fast and terrifying! it was ambush from all sides! lin fan¡¯s expression did not change at all, and he did not have any intention of dodging. dodge? no! he directly faced them head-on! lin fan took a step forward and brandished his star meteorite sword. a mountain-like snake head fell heavily to the ground. blood splattered! lin fan took another step forward. another snake head fell to the ground. one step to kill one, ten steps to wipe them out! at this moment, lin fan appeared right in front of the monster. he raised the star meteorite sword again and said, ¡°slash!¡± [skill: sword 8!] a dazzling sword light gushed out and instantly split the monster in half! no! it was not only the monster but even the entire land was split into two from the middle! little thunderclap monastery¡­ collapsed! a deep ravine appeared in the earth! his strength was truly terrifying! ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiao bing¡¯s mouth was wide open, completely stunned. countless comments poured down like a storm. sorrow after habit: [f*ck!] newcomer: [f*ck!] silky whisper: [f*ck!] ¡­ countless exclamations filled the entire live broadcast room. after a long time, other comments began to appear. banxia weiyang: [god lin is so awesome! god lin! that¡¯s right! god lin must be the sword god!] frost battle wolf: [i don¡¯t even know what words to use to describe god lin. i just want to say, he¡¯s f*cking awesome!] everyone: [my blood is boiling! no game, movie, or anime can recreate that scene using special effects! awesome!] grand: [god lin is invincible!] ¡­ the entire screen was filled with praises for lin fan. xia bing, xia xue, hu tian, and the others stared at the screen. they thought back to lin fan¡¯s sword movement, and their breathing started to quicken. their faces turned red. this was the person they liked! amazing! ¡­ among the countless excited comments, there was an inconspicuous comment that was quickly wiped out. hmm: [strange, why hasn¡¯t a treasure chest appeared yet?] ¡­ in the otherworld¡­ the monster¡¯s body was cut in half, and blood flowed out. at this moment, a strange scene appeared. the sand in the distance seemed to be attracted and flew to the middle of the monster¡¯s broken body. then, the two halves of the monster¡¯s body were dragged together and merged. furthermore, the monster quickly healed all of its wounds. the crack in the middle disappeared, and the ten snake heads returned to the monster¡¯s body. it came back to life! the monster¡¯s eyes were bloodshot as it said coldly, ¡°you actually killed me once. very good!¡± lin fan said calmly, ¡°what¡¯s the use of living?¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he swung his sword again. the dazzling sword light once again split the monster into two from the middle. but soon, the sand moved again, as if it wanted to glue and repair the monster like before. lin fan squinted his eyes as the star meteorite sword danced in the air. in the next moment, countless dazzling sword rays condensed in the air. [sword 9: 10,000 swords strike together!] ¡°go!¡± lin fan shouted. the sword rays that filled the sky were like a storm, shooting toward the two halves of the monster¡¯s body. with loud bangs, the monster¡¯s body was cut into countless pieces. only then did the entire world fall silent. however, this silence did not last long. the sand quickly moved. gradually, it reassembled the broken monster¡¯s body. not long after, a complete monster appeared in front of lin fan. ¡°you want to kill me?¡± the monster laughed loudly. ¡°what a joke! ¡°do you know that my body is made of sand? ¡°as long as there¡¯s sand, i can revive! ¡°this level-nine forbidden area is made entirely of sand, so i can¡¯t die here!¡± it was not worried that lin fan would find out about its secret. it was fearless! lin fan¡¯s expression did not change at all. ¡°you can be resurrected as long as there¡¯s sand? since that¡¯s the case, i¡¯ll make the sand disappear.¡± Chapter 615 - 615 Kill; Harvest! 615 kill; harvest! the ancient and majestic little thunderclap monastery had long since collapsed completely from the battle between lin fan and the monster, turning into a pile of ruins. sam, abraham, and the heavenly hound stood quietly at the side without moving. sam and abraham were shocked by the monster¡¯s terrifying aura. the heavenly hound received lin fan¡¯s signal that it did not need its help. the sun shot out a dazzling light, making the entire forbidden area seem like a huge furnace. it was extremely hot. a gust of wind blew, stirring up the hot sand. ¡°make the sand disappear?¡± the monster laughed. ¡°hahaha!¡± it was as if it had heard the funniest joke in the world, and its entire body began to sway. lin fan said calmly, ¡°that¡¯s right!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, the originally cloudless sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds. a thunderclap sounded, forming countless ferocious lightning snakes that swam crazily in the air. it was as if they wanted to tear the sky into countless pieces. then, bean-sized raindrops fell. the heroes of the various countries were thirsty to begin with. this sudden rainstorm was simply a life-saving thing for them. the heroes opened their mouths and drank to their satisfaction. in the next moment, the soft sand under their feet gradually solidified and hardened! from golden yellow, it gradually turned gray! the heroes were surprised to find that all the sand had turned into normal soil! while they were still in shock, the gray surface began to move at a speed visible to the naked eye. emerald grass and thick trees grew! there were endless grasslands and overlapping forests! everyone was stunned. the lifeless desert was like a forest! a miracle! in fact, it was not just the heroes of the various countries who were stunned. the heavenly hound¡­ and even the huge monster was stunned. their faces were filled with disbelief. after a while, the monster shouted, ¡°where¡¯s the desert?¡± where is my desert? ¡°no! ¡°no, it can¡¯t be! this must be an illusion! ¡°yes, it¡¯s an illusion!¡± the desert was the root of its life! if the desert was gone¡­ then it¡­ lin fan said, ¡°whether it¡¯s an illusion or not, you¡¯ll know once you experience it.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, lin fan raised the star meteorite sword up high and brought it down. [skill: sword 8!] a vast sword light swept out with a terrifying aura. this sword light completely illuminated the monster¡¯s eyes. for the first time, fear appeared on its ferocious face. the monster hurriedly moved its body, wanting to dodge the sword light. however, the speed of the sword light was too fast, and it could not react in time at all. ¡°no!¡± the sword light descended! the monster¡¯s body and the solid ground were split into two. hot blood sprayed into the bottomless ravine. for a long time, not a single grain of sand flew to the monster. the monster¡¯s body could no longer be closed or repaired. in fact, this was normal. one had to know¡­ lin fan had advanced earth manipulation technique that could easily change the nature of the land. for example, turning the desert into soil, turning soil into rocks, and so on. however, this forbidden area was too big. n addition, lin fan wanted to be on the safe side. he also used the advanced lightning control technique and advanced water control technique to make the sky rain heavily. then, he used advanced earth manipulation technique to grow a dense forest on the ground. rain could grow trees, trees could gather soil, and soil could change sand! these abilities stacked together and finally turned the entire forbidden area into an oasis! changing the world was nothing more than this! at this moment, an emotionless voice sounded. [the first to kill a level-ten sand python king. you¡¯ve obtained a level-ten treasure chest.] [the first to kill a level-ten sand python king. hua nation has gained a large mineral vein.] [the first to destroy a level-nine forbidden area. you¡¯ve obtained a level-nine mysterious treasure chest.] [the first to destroy a level-nine forbidden area. a forbidden area has descended hua nation.] ¡­ then, lin fan waved his hand and opened the level-ten treasure chest. [you¡¯ve received 1,000 constitution points. do you want to use them?] then, he opened the level-nine mystery treasure chest. [you¡¯ve received beginner metal manipulation technique. do you want to use it?] at the same time, two crisp notifications rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ª10,000 constitution points.] [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ªadvanced metal manipulation technique.] instantly, lin fan¡¯s strength surged. then, countless metallic particles appeared in his vision. lin fan had a very clear feeling that as long as he willed it, these metal particles would quickly gather together, forming a huge metal block or even a towering metal mountain. he could even change its shape at will. ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiao bing¡¯s eyes were wide open, and she forgot to close her mouth. she was unable to say a word. the comments in the live broadcast room were like a storm. broadsky: [who can tell me what happened just now?] [illusion: [god lin killed the sand python king! moreover, he turned the desert into an oasis!] sunny day: [lightning, rain, earth, trees! god lin is awesome!] liang keqi: [god lin is the best!] rider: [i¡¯m dumbfounded!] the wind rises: [when the sand python king said that as long as there¡¯s sand, it won¡¯t die, i really broke out in a cold sweat for god lin.] choice: [this live broadcast is so enjoyable!] bad boy: [god lin is awesome!] ¡­ heartache 2009: [oh right, didn¡¯t another forbidden area descend? where is it this time?] sell: [it¡¯s my place! yong city! a golden desert suddenly appeared in the south of yong city!] life is like this: [desert? did any special changes happen to you?] basketball fire: [i¡¯m from yong city south district! i suddenly felt my body become filled with power!] reborn: [me too! i just casually jumped and easily touched the basketball basket!] big shot: [i just ran to the fifth floor and didn¡¯t have to catch my breath!] step 1: [f*ck! touching the basket! i¡¯m going to the south of yong city now.] smoketasty: [i want to go too.] 800 million: [i¡¯m going too!] ¡­ hence, many people began to head to the south of yong city. however, most of them were destined to return empty-handed. when they arrived at the south of yong city, all the intersections had been surrounded by soldiers and no one was allowed to enter. ¡­ lin fan was completely oblivious to all of this. of course, he would not mind. he could feel the increase in power in his body and the wonderful advanced metal manipulation technique. the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. ¡°heavenly hound, use these 1,000 constitution points and beginner metal manipulation skill.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and the two balls of light entered the heavenly hound¡¯s body. instantly, the entire body of the heavenly hound was filled with a surging aura. Chapter 616 - 616 Beast-Swapping Physique; Forbidden Area! 616 beast-swapping physique; forbidden area! lin fan, the heavenly hound, sam, abraham, and the heroes of the various countries disappeared from the level-nine forbidden area. in the next moment, they appeared where they were before the countdown began. lin fan, the heavenly hound, and sam were still together. abraham appeared alone in a forest. ¡­ in hua natin¡¯s live broadcast room. ¡°oh my god!¡± the host shouted. ¡°can someone tell me what happened in the level-nine forbidden area? why did such a large desert suddenly become an oasis?¡± potter: [i¡­ i don¡¯t know either.] hasda: [this is unbelievable!] marlous: [it¡¯s lin fan. it¡¯s hua nation¡¯s lin fan! he killed the most powerful sand python king in the level-nine forbidden area. in order to prevent the sand python king from reviving, he turned the entire desert into an oasis!] milo: [that¡¯s right! it¡¯s lin fan. he¡¯s amazing!] alan: [the desert turned into an oasis¡­ is he really a god?] lyson: [perhaps he has done something gods have never done.] ¡­ after many countries found out what had happened, they were all extremely shocked. some countries chose to start watching hua nation¡¯s broadcast. in an instant, the popularity of hua nation¡¯s live streaming channels soared. ¡­ in the otherworld. compared to the shock of the crowd, lin fan did not take what happened in the level-nine forbidden area to heart at all. the sky gradually darkened. the heavenly hound brought a big rabbit over. then, as usual, lin fan roasted the rabbit meat and slept. he was extremely satisfied. four days passed in a flash. these four days, lin fan lived very peacefully. he did not encounter any beasts. in these four days, he had gained 300 constitution points and 800 points of spiritual energy. when lin fan, the heavenly hound, and sam walked into a bush¡­ in the distance, a dull sound suddenly sounded. in the next moment, a figure with a tall nose appeared in front of them. it was abraham, whom they had met several times. at this moment, a two-headed lion that was five meters tall was chasing abraham, roaring from time to time. originally, abraham¡¯s face was filled with despair. however, when he raised his head and looked into the distance, he suddenly saw lin fan and the others. he immediately became extremely excited. he had seen lin fan¡¯s strength and knew how strong he was. as long as lin fan was around, abraham felt that he was absolutely safe in the otherworld! thus, after abraham came out of the level-nine forbidden ground, he had been looking for lin fan. it was also because of this that he unintentionally provoked this two-headed lion. while abraham was excited, he paused for a moment. this pause¡­ the two-headed lion behind him suddenly caught up. it raised its paw and slapped abraham¡¯s head. abraham could even feel the cold light coming from his claws, and all the hair on his body instantly stood on end. a strong sense of death surged into abraham¡¯s heart like a tide. however, the claws did not touch abraham¡¯s head for a long time. instead, the two heads of the lion and its claws fell to the ground. blood spurted out! when abraham slowly raised his head, he saw that lin fan had already pulled out the star meteorite sword. lin fan had saved him! soon, abraham¡¯s guess was confirmed. an emotionless voice rang out at the scene. [the first to kill a level-six two-headed lion. you¡¯ve obtained a level-six treasure chest.] [the first to kill a level-six two-headed lion. 60 kinds of lost animals and plants have been revived.] then, an ancient chest appeared in front of them. lin fan stepped forward and waved his hand. the chest opened. [you¡¯ve received 500 constitution points. do you want to use them?] at the same time, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ª5,000 constitution points.] his strength had increased! lin fan thought for a moment and said, ¡°abraham, you use these 500 points of constitution.¡± after all, the reason why he was able to obtain 5,000 constitution points was also because of abraham. giving him these points was nothing. lin fan did not wait for abraham to speak. he waved his hand, and the ball of light entered abraham¡¯s body. abraham felt the growing power in his body and finally recovered from the death crisis. he said sincerely, ¡°thank you, lin fan!¡± ¡°not only did you save me again, but you also gave me 500 constitution points. i¡¯m really¡­ i really don¡¯t know what to do. i can only say thank you again!¡± lin fan waved his hand. ¡°you¡¯re welcome.¡± ¡°why do i feel like every time i see you, you¡¯re fighting a ferocious beast? do you have a beast-swapping physique?¡± huh? abraham was the one being chased by ferocious beasts every time, no? abraham¡¯s old face was a little red, and he said, ¡°that¡­ that¡¯s just a coincidence.¡± after a pause, he said, ¡°uh¡­ can i continue to follow you?¡± lin fan did not mind. ¡°sure.¡± abraham became even happier when he heard this. safety, food, water¡­ everything was guaranteed! as for becoming stronger? no matter how strong he was, could he be stronger than lin fan? how was that possible? furthermore, as long as lin fan gave away some trash that he did not want, he would probably be able to become stronger even faster than if he were to continue adventuring in the otherworld alone. it was just like the 500 constitution points that lin fan had given him. everyone once again set foot on the road ahead. a few days ago, lin fan and his group did not encounter any ferocious beasts at all. however, this afternoon, they encountered three of them in a row. after killing three beasts, lin fan obtained 7,000 constitution points and 4,000 points of spiritual energy. hua nation¡¯s pollution had decreased by 20%, the number of endangered animals had increased by 10%. the harvest in one day far exceeded the past few days. lin fan looked at abraham with a weird gaze and said, ¡°you really don¡¯t have the beast-swapping physique?¡± abraham stammered, ¡°i-it¡¯s just a coincidence.¡± ¡°oh.¡± lin fan nodded his head noncommittally. abraham felt that lin fan did not believe him. ¡°it¡¯s really just a coincidence,¡± he hurriedly explained. ¡°we definitely won¡¯t encounter any ferocious beasts later.¡± however¡­ at this moment, an emotionless voice sounded in everyone¡¯s ears. [entering level-ten forbidden area.] [countdown, 10!] [9!] [8!] ¡­ when lin fan heard that, he looked at abraham with a weird gaze. he did not speak. however, his expression seemed to be saying, ¡®and you still say that you don¡¯t have a beast-swapping physique? now, he even brought them to a level-ten forbidden area.¡¯ abraham had a feeling that he could not explain himself. then, there was another wave of worry. the forbidden area¡­ represented danger! terrifying unknown danger! Chapter 617 - 617 On the Island; Humans Are Worse Than Dogs! 617 on the island; humans are worse than dogs! abraham was not the only one who was worried. all the heroes of the various countries revealed a hint of fear on their faces. however, no matter how they felt, they could not stop the countdown from continuing. [3!] [2!] [1!] in the next moment¡­ lin fan, sam, abraham, the heavenly hound¡­ all the heroes of the various countries disappeared on the spot. then, they appeared on a strange rocky island. the island was only about the size of a few football fields, and it was surrounded by endless blue sea water. the rolling waves kept hitting the rocks, making a dull sound. the heroes of the various countries stood on the island and looked around. they looked at each other¡­ they were at a loss. soon, someone began to talk in a low voice. ¡°hello, are you from earth?¡± ¡°i¡¯m shi titian from song country.¡± ¡°i¡¯m irvanya from the state of na.¡± ¡­ meeting an earthling in another world was like meeting a fellow countryman. however, everyone was not as excited as they usually were. on the contrary, they still had some precautions. they understood that the otherworld was very dangerous. the humans in the otherworld might be even more dangerous. some people had formed grudges in the otherworld. ¡°it¡¯s you!¡± a fair-skinned man shouted. as soon as he finished speaking, he clenched his fist and smashed it at the brown-skinned man not far away. the brown-skinned man was not afraid at all and went up to meet him head-on. they had all opened treasure chests and obtained great strength. they were like ferocious beasts, incomparably powerful. not long after, bloodstains appeared on their bodies. they were extremely miserable. this was not the only instance of it. it was normal for such a situation to occur. after all, everyone had limited supplies. and the otherworld lacked resources. in order to survive, they could only fight for it from others. in fact, lin fan had faced numerous assassination attempts because of resources. however, the other parties were instantly killed. after a while, the few of them lay on the ground, unable to get up. the island finally regained its peace. everyone subconsciously distanced themselves from the people around them to avoid danger. regarding these¡­ lin fan did not care about any of them. he only glanced at everyone indifferently. 57 people. in other words, there were only 57 people left¡­ one had to know¡­ there were 200 countries in the world, and each country had at least one person selected. for big countries like nashland, bear country, and eagle country, the number of people chosen was usually several, and there were even more than ten! in other words, more than half of them had died in just over a month. it was tragic. abraham quickly ran to lin fan. beside him was a woman with a high nose. although the woman¡¯s body was tattered and she was in an extremely sorry state, just from her face and figure, it was not difficult to tell that she was definitely a beauty. ¡°this is mordmohan,¡± abraham introduced. ¡°this is lin fan from hua nation. he¡¯s very powerful!¡± at this point, abraham¡¯s tone could not help but become high and worshipful. mordmohan was surprised. she knew abraham¡¯s personality. he was a very confident and self-reliant man. he actually worshipped another man? this¡­ it was unbelievable. mordmohan sized lin fan up before extending her right hand and speaking in a somewhat stiff hua language. ¡°hello, i am mordmohan.¡± lin fan smiled and nodded. ¡°hello, i¡¯m lin fan.¡± then, he reached out his right hand and shook it gently. at this moment, someone whispered, ¡°this island seems to be full of rocks. there aren¡¯t even any trees. how are we going to live?¡± as soon as he said that, everyone could not help but pull away from the people around them. if there was no food, then the little food they had might make them the prey of others. while they were on guard, time slowly passed. as the sun set, it dyed the sky and the sea red, forming a picture of a demon from hell. it was incomparably ferocious and terrifying! the atmosphere was extremely gloomy. lin fan, on the other hand, was extremely relaxed. he found a random rock and sat down. at this moment, a large bird flapped its wings and flew across the sky. in the next moment, the giant bird felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on it. it fell straight down. ¡°pa!¡± lin fan picked up the bird and took out a knife to remove its feathers. then, he applied all kinds of seasonings. then, the big bird¡¯s body automatically burst into flames. after a while, a rich fragrance filled the entire island. the heroes of the various countries all turned their gazes over. they looked at the roasted meat that was dripping with oil and could not help but swallow their saliva. some of them even had red eyes. they had already been in the otherworld for more than a month. the food that they had brought with them had already been eaten up after entering the otherworld for a few days. later on, some people were lucky enough to encounter wild fruits and weeds, which allowed them to survive. some people did not even encounter wild fruits or weeds. they had been living on tree bark and roots. as for barbecued meat¡­ they could only dream of such delicious roasted meat. but now, it had appeared before their eyes. how could they not be excited? lin fan did not care much. he tore off three pieces of meat and handed them to sam, abraham, and mordmohan. sam and abraham did not hesitate at all and started eating. mordmohan was puzzled. ¡°this¡­ you actually brought seasonings?¡± ¡°mr. lin is omnipotent!¡± abraham said. ¡°hurry up and eat. it won¡¯t taste good if it gets cold.¡± mordmohan also put the meat into her mouth and ate happily. at this moment, a fair-skinned man slowly walked over and said in english, ¡°give me something to eat too.¡± he was not discussing it at all. it was a statement, an affirmation, and an order! in fact, he almost took the meat with his own hands. ¡°scram!¡± lin fan said indifferently. as soon as he finished speaking, lin fan tore off a thick thigh and handed it to the heavenly hound. the heavenly hound wagged its tail and ate the meat happily. the man¡¯s expression instantly turned extremely ugly. lin fan would rather give it to a dog than himself. was he saying that he was worse than a dog? ¡°f*ck!¡± the man said coldly. as soon as he finished speaking, he reached out to snatch the roasted meat. lin fan¡¯s face was cold as he shouted, ¡°scram!¡± a terrifying aura suddenly erupted. the man seemed to have hit an invisible truck. he flew backward and crashed into a pile of rocks in the distance. blood flowed everywhere, and he could not get up. Chapter 618 - 618 Instigator; Attack! 618 instigator; attack! ¡®if i take the initiative to give it, even if it¡¯s a treasure, you can take it. ¡®i didn¡¯t give it to you, yet you reached out to take it? then i¡¯ll break your hands!¡¯ as for the fair-skinned man, he felt that he was worse than a dog¡­ in fact, he was not as good as the heavenly hound. of course, lin fan did not use such an analogy. ¡­ in canna¡¯s live broadcast room¡­ ¡°oh my god!¡± the host exclaimed. ¡°look at what govindo is doing. he actually wants to snatch lin fan¡¯s food!¡± andros: [govindo, stop messing around!] menlo: [govindo, what do you want?] mond: [god! i actually worshiped govindo before this. was i crazy? i actually admired a person who likes to do stupid things.] archies: [luckily, lin fan held back.] ¡­ held back? that was right! this was what everyone in canna thought. that was because they had already seen the video of lin fan displaying his divine power through live streams or recordings. he was well-deserved of his title as a god! he was number one in the world! if god lin had not held back, govindo would have turned into ashes long ago! ¡­ compared to the sighs of the people from canna, the other countries were praying silently. they prayed that their heroes would not do anything stupid and provoke lin fan! ¡­ govindo lay on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. however, he was not frightened by this. on the contrary, he became even more ferocious and vicious. ¡°what are you guys waiting for?¡± govindo shouted. ¡°this is an abandoned island. it¡¯s full of rocks, and there¡¯s no food! ¡°he has so much roasted meat in his hands. don¡¯t you want to eat it? how long has it been since you guys ate meat? ¡°in the future, there won¡¯t be any of it! ¡°moreover, he has a dog beside him. dog meat is also very delicious! ¡°this is a rock island. there¡¯s no food here! ¡°perhaps this will be our only source of food for a period of time! ¡°he¡¯s very strong, but there are so many of us. or will you let all the food end up in his hands? ¡°do you want to starve to death?¡± these words resonated with everyone. that was right! there would not be such barbecued meat in the future. lin fan was very strong, but if they did not defeat him now, they might not have another chance in the future. thus, many people looked at each other as if they had made a choice. at this moment, lin fan swallowed a piece of meat and spat out two words, ¡°so noisy!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, lin fan slapped the air. like a falling mountain, a palm-shaped hole appeared where govindo was. govindo¡¯s body exploded into a pile of minced meat. lin fan had given him a chance to live. if he did not want it, then so be it! the entire scene was deathly silent! the aroma of meat in the air was completely covered by the thick smell of blood. everyone present had already opened treasure chests and obtained powerful strength. they felt that they had become superhumans. however, after seeing this scene, they could not help but be terrified. especially those who had other ideas, a thin layer of sweat appeared on their foreheads. if they had made the first move, what would have happened? at this moment, an emotionless voice sounded. [govindo of canna has died. the lifespan of the people of canna has been reduced by five years.] suddenly, the void gate where the country of canna was located released a dense black gas. then¡­ some people who were walking on the road suddenly fell to the ground and did not get up again. the miners who were mining suddenly disappeared underground after the cave collapsed. some drunk people crawled to the window and vomited before falling down. ¡­ in the live broadcast room of canna¡­ ¡°no!¡± the host exclaimed. allen: [why? why did govindo say something like that?] mcgee: [it¡¯s over, everything is over!] murphy: [govindo, why did you drag us down even if you wanted to die?] ¡­ mordmohan was also shocked by lin fan¡¯s strength. she stuttered, ¡°abraham¡­ just how strong is he?¡± ¡°he¡¯s powerful!¡± abraham said in admiration. ¡°his power is unpredictable!¡± the night gradually darkened. lin fan did not take out his sleeping bag to sleep today. instead, he sat on a rock and looked up at the starry night sky. he was extremely satisfied. in the blink of an eye, the next day arrived. yesterday, many people did not have any food on them. after starving for an entire day, their stomachs were a little flat. therefore, when the sky was completely bright, they could not hold it in any longer. they first searched the rock island. after confirming that there was no food, they looked at the endless sea. some people went to the seaside to look for traces of fish. unfortunately, the waves were too fast and the water was too deep. they did not find anything at all. therefore, some people simply jumped into the sea, hoping to catch fish in the sea with their speed and strength that far exceeded ordinary people. not long after, a man popped his head out, holding an arm-long fish in his hand. his entire face was full of smiles as he slowly swam toward the shore. right at this moment¡­ a pitch-black python suddenly appeared behind him. it opened its bloody mouth and swallowed him. blood soon dyed the beach red. it was terrifying! there were actually monsters in the sea! an emotionless voice rang out at the scene. [the chosen one of luo country, alexander menlo, has died. the area of luo country has been reduced by 10%!] some of the people standing by the sea hurriedly ran toward the middle of the rock island. they were all frightened by the monster in the sea. the black python that was hiding in the sea seemed to be addicted to eating. it popped its head out again and opened its bloody mouth to bite the nearest brown-skinned man. ¡°master!¡± sam shouted. lin fan did not even bat an eyelid as he pulled out the star meteorite sword from his waist. a sharp sword light shot out and instantly sliced through the black python¡¯s head. in the next moment, it was as though a huge rock had fallen on the black python¡¯s entire head. it was smashed heavily onto the ground, making a muffled sound. the black python¡¯s corpse fell straight into the sea. the blood dyed a large area of seawater red. at the same time, an emotionless voice sounded at the scene. [the first to kill a level-seven sea python. you¡¯ve obtained a level-seven treasure chest.] [the first to kill a level-seven sea python. the number of endangered animals in hua nation has increased by 10%.] then, a level-seven treasure chest appeared in front of lin fan. with a wave of his hand, the treasure chest opened. [you¡¯ve obtained 500 constitution points. do you want to use them?] then, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ª5,000 constitution points.] the power continued to surge. his strength increased once again! Chapter 619 - 619 Settling It Once and For All; Breaking the Sea and Slaying the Heavens! 619 settling it once and for all; breaking the sea and slaying the heavens! silence¡­. the entire place was silent again. everyone heard it. it was a level-seven sea python. almost all of them had fought with wild beasts and monsters before, so they knew very well how powerful and terrifying a level-seven monster was. in the end, it was killed in the blink of an eye? instantly, everyone had a deeper understanding of lin fan¡¯s strength. if it were in the past, everyone would definitely be envious of 500 constitution points. they might even have some thoughts about the points. now, no one had such thoughts. what happened to govindo and the sea python was the best example. however, lin fan did not touch the ball of light. instead, he said, ¡°heavenly hound, go and use these 500 constitution points.¡± the heavenly hound stepped forward and placed its paw on the ball of light. seeing this¡­ everyone was jealous. 500 constitution points were given to a dog? why not give the points to them? mordmohan could not help but say, ¡°¡­a dog? wouldn¡¯t it be too wasteful? why didn¡¯t he use the points himself?¡± abraham said, ¡°this bit of constitution points probably won¡¯t be of much use to lin fan. in the past, lin fan had given the heavenly hound constitution points, spiritual energy points, and even some special abilities.¡± when modmohan heard this, her mouth was wide open, and her beautiful face was filled with disbelief. constitution and spiritual energy points were a little easier to accept. however, special abilities¡­ those were equivalent to a superpower or a technique! lin fan directly gave them to a dog? ¡­ while everyone was shocked and sighing, the blood of the sea python had already begun to spread. at this moment, the surface of the flowing sea suddenly seemed to boil as it kept bubbling. however¡­ everyone¡¯s attention was focused on lin fan. no one noticed this change. in the next moment¡­ a giant red crab suddenly popped its head out and raised a towering wave. it opened its ferocious mouth and bit the body of the python. no! it was not just a red crab. there were four crimson giant crabs! the four red crabs divided the body of the giant python and ate it! they were attracted by the smell of blood. however, it was obvious that they were not the only ones who liked the smell of blood. soon, three giant white sharks followed suit. then, there were three giant golden prawns. then, there were two giant dragons with crowns on their heads¡­ just the number of monsters that had surfaced on the surface of the sea alone exceeded ten! moreover, each monster was extremely huge and exuded an extremely terrifying aura. in a short while, the body of the giant python, which was several meters thick and dozens of meters long, was eaten clean. however, these monsters did not disperse. instead, they focused their scarlet eyes on the heroes of the various countries and slowly approached the rock island. seeing this¡­ the faces of the heroes from all over the world turned slightly pale. any one of these monsters was tough to fight against. now, more than ten of them had appeared! what should they do? it was a disaster! a terrifying disaster! then, they looked up at lin fan. at this moment, lin fan was probably the only one who could resolve this crisis. lin fan did not disappoint them either. lin fan waved his sword and shot out sharp sword lights. the red giant crab closest to the front was cut in half, and blood flowed out. next, it was the other three red crabs beside it. then, the three giant white sharks were dealt with. after that, it was the three giant golden prawns. finally, it was the two giant dragons with crowns on their heads¡­ every sword strike took the life of a beast or monster without exception. it was as easy as cutting tofu. soon, the blue sea turned dark red. at this moment, an emotionless voice sounded.

Chapter 620 - 620 Noisy; Really Noisy! 620 noisy; really noisy! in fact¡­ it was not just the heroes on the rock island who had their mouths and eyes wide open from shock. on earth, almost everyone watching the live broadcast had the same expression. lin fan¡¯s sword was simply too powerful and terrifying. it was completely beyond everyone¡¯s imagination. ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiao bing stood rooted to the ground, her eyes unblinking. she did not even know that the microphone in her hand had fallen to the ground. the entire live broadcast room was very quiet for a long time. it was as though everyone was blocked from posting comments. after a long time¡­ finally, there were some comments. i¡¯m your other half: [awesome!] zhang wenbai: [awesome!] world flame guardian: [awesome!] fish: [awesome!] ¡­ after these comments appeared, a commotion was kicked up. countless praises filled the entire live broadcast room for a very long time! time and circumstances have changed: [lin fan¡¯s sword could break the sea and slash the sky! f*ck, this is awesome!] moon bay: [slash! mom, he¡¯s so handsome!] shura: [a god! even among all the gods, god lin is definitely the strongest!] carefree heart: [f*ck, awesome!] kite: [sword!] people who like red: [god lin is the greatest!] ¡­. many people sent comments while shouting and jumping. in an instant, the city and even the entire country¡­ no, the entire world became noisy. water: [our hua nation has so many resources. moreover, our lifespan has also increased by several years! thank you, god lin!] mr. huang: [thank you, god lin!] time magician: [thank you, god lin!] ¡­ after a moment of excitement, the comments were filled with gratitude. ¡­ lin fan was completely oblivious to all of this. after slashing out with his sword, the sea finally stopped swarming with monsters. hence, lin fan waved his hand casually. treasure chests opened one after another. [you¡¯ve obtained 500 constitution points. do you want to use them?] [you¡¯ve obtained 500 points of spiritual energy. do you want to use them?] [you¡¯ve obtained 500 constitution points. do you want to use them?] [you¡¯ve obtained 500 constitution points. do you want to use them?] ¡­ [you¡¯ve obtained beginner illusion technique. do you want to use it?] ¡­ [you¡¯ve obtained beginner curse spell. do you want to use it?] ¡­ at the same time, lin fan¡¯s mind rang out with a crisp notification.

are there any abnormal situations in any of the cities?] wind: [same question, same question!] after the first few times a forbidden area descended, there would be some changes in a certain area of a certain city. moreover, according to the research and analysis over the past few days, these changes were all beneficial. some people who had 800 degrees of short-sightedness would have perfect vistion again after entering a forbidden area. someone¡¯s rheumatism had disappeared. someone instantly gained a strong physique. there were even rumors that someone could spit out flames¡­ all of this showed that the forbidden areas had great benefits. moreover, a layer of mystery enshrouded these forbidden areas. ordinary people would only have a short while to enter when the forbidden areas appeared. this was because soon after, the scouts and soldiers would completely surround the forbidden areas, forbidding anyone from entering. unfortunately, no matter how many people asked in the live broadcast room, no one answered. this feeling¡­ it was as if¡­ this time, the forbidden area did not descend in hua nation at all. everyone asked a lot of questions, but no one answered. as a result, other comments gradually appeared. water: [that treasure chest opened a beginner space technique. could it be the legendary spatial power?

lin fan thought to himself, ¡®is this a forbidden area or something?¡¯ thinking of this, lin fan turned around and said to sam and abraham, ¡°wait here for a moment.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, a black hole appeared in front of lin fan. he stepped in. the heavenly hound at the side leaped lightly and followed closely behind. Chapter 622 - 622 Lava; Giant! 622 lava; giant! the reason why lin fan asked sam and abraham to wait there was not because they could not enter the space tunnel. instead¡­ if that independent space was a forbidden area, then even if sam and abraham went, they would not be able to help much. they would be useless. lin fan could deal with it himself. if it was some other special place, it would be convenient for him to go and take a look first. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, lin fan and the heavenly hound appeared in the dim yellow space. lin fan looked up into the distance and saw volcanoes spewing black smoke. the air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur. he lowered his head and looked at the ground. the dry ground cracked continuously, and one could even vaguely see boiling lava flowing. there were no animals or plants in the surroundings, and there was no sign of life. this¡­ was probably what hell looked like. at this moment, the heavenly hound, which was standing at the side, barked at the crack in the distance. ¡°danger!¡± lin fan looked in the direction where the heavenly hound was barking. in the next moment, a giant turtle with boiling lava on its back suddenly crawled out of the crack. with its appearance, the space became even hotter. the scene in front of them kept twisting. the giant turtle raised its head and shrieked. it was like the sound of glass being scratched. it was extremely ear-piercing. if lin fan did not have a strong physique, that shriek would have caused him to bleed from all seven of his orifices and die on the spot. lin fan frowned. ¡°so noisy.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, lin fan pulled out the star meteorite sword in his hand. [sword 1: draw the sword and slash the heavens!] a sharp sword ray surged out and pierced through the giant turtle¡¯s body. then¡­ the giant turtle fell to the ground like a mountain that had been split in half. instantly, lava surged out of the giant turtle¡¯s body. it was not flowing with blood but lava! it was simply unbelievable! at this moment, an emotionless voice rang out beside lin fan¡¯s ears. [the first to kill a level-nine lava turtle. you¡¯ve obtained a level-nine treasure chest.] [the first to kill a level-nine lava turtle. hua nation¡¯s endangered animals and plants have increased by 10%.] the next moment, a treasure chest appeared in front of lin fan. with a wave of his hand, the treasure chest opened.

[ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a special red packet¡ª5,000 constitution points.] his strength increased! then, lin fan said to the heavenly hound, ¡°use this light ball.¡± the heavenly hound placed its paw on the ball of light. ¡­ in hua nation¡¯s live broadcast room. xiao bing said in fear, ¡°this¡­ is this hell? it¡¯s so scary.¡± caz: [he walked into that dark rumbling hole and then appeared here. could it be¡­ did god lin just walk through the spatial passageway?] fiery man: [so god lin can already form a spatial passageway. no wonder he gave the beginner space technique to the heavenly hound.] waiting: [is there anything that god lin doesn¡¯t know?] auspicious dragon: [giant lava turtle? lava was flowing inside its body! this is unbelievable!] midnight: [if this giant turtle appears on earth, even if we successfully kill it, it¡¯ll probably cause an extremely terrifying disaster.] unexperienced: [however, it was still killed by god lin with a single sword strike.] xiongya: [fortunately, we have god lin.] fair and aquare: [the number of endangered animals and plants has increased by another 10%. i feel that i¡¯m one step closer to raising pandas at home!] ¡­ lin fan did not bother looking at the corpse of the lava turtle. he found a direction and walked forward. however, before he could walk for long, two dragons with raging flames around their bodies and antennae on their heads darted out of the ground. their eyes were like two huge fireballs, emitting a tyrannical might. in the next moment¡­ the two dragons flew toward lin fan from the left and right as if they wanted to turn him into ashes. seeing this¡­ lin fan waved the star meteorite sword in his hand casually. in the blink of an eye, the two dragons were cut into two pieces and fell to the ground, splashing lava. at this moment, another emotionless voice rang out in lin fan¡¯s ears. [the first to kill a level-nine flame dragon. you¡¯ve obtained a level-nine treasure chest.] [the first to kill a level-nine flame dragon. hua nation has gained 20 species.] lin fan opened the treasure chest casually. there were 500 points of spiritual energy inside, and he gave them to the heavenly hound. lin fan¡¯s special red packet had increased his spiritual energy by 5,000 points. suddenly, the ground in front of him shook violently, as if something terrifying was about to drill out of the ground. it was extremely terrifying. not only in front but also behind, left, and right¡­ it was the same in all directions. the ground suddenly caved in, and rolling lava spewed out. lin fan¡¯s brows twitched as he pulled the heavenly hound and flew into the sky. he was in the air as if he was on flat ground. gravity had no effect on him. in the next moment¡­ an ancient and mysterious altar suddenly emerged from the collapsed ground. lava flowed down from the edge of the altar like water. in the middle of the altar, there was a golden throne. a giant with charred skin and burning hair was sitting on the throne. he was about five meters tall and had the word ¡®king¡¯ on his forehead. the giant raised his head slowly and looked at lin fan with a pair of eyes that were like flowing lava. he let out a rumbling sound and said, ¡°who are you? how dare you trespass into my fire domain?! in fact, what punishment shall i sentence you for the crime of killing my subordinate?!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, the entire world shook violently. all the volcanoes erupted with raging flames. he seemed to be the only king in this world! when a king was enraged, the world would change! lin fan was completely unbothered by the giant¡¯s words. kill his subordinate? it was natural to be killed if one was weak. the strong preyed on the weak. lin fan swept his gaze over the changes in his surroundings and came to a realization. ¡°so that¡¯s how it is. this might be another forbidden area. ¡°and this giant is perhaps the most powerful monster in the forbidden area, or perhaps a paragon. ¡°looks like¡­ the forbidden area and the otherworld are in different spaces. no wonder it¡¯s difficult for everyone to enter the forbidden area by themselves. we needed to be teleported.¡± lin fan¡¯s face revealed a look of realization. below, the giant sitting on the golden throne saw that lin fan was completely ignoring him. it was as if he had suffered a huge insult and was completely furious! ¡°brat, you¡¯re courting death!¡± the giant shouted. if the king was enraged again, the sky would collapse and the earth would split! Chapter 623 - 623 Discovered; Unknown Changes! 623 discovered; unknown changes! all the volcanoes spewed lava at the same time. black smoke billowed, the sky collapsed, and the earth cracked. the ghost wails and wolf howls that rang out were extremely terrifying. the lava continued to gather, forming a sea of lava on the ground. the temperature of the entire world rose rapidly. black smoke rose from the ground and rocks. they were about to burst into flames at any moment, or even turn into lava. in the next moment, the lava suddenly condensed into a giant lava dragon that covered the sky. it was dozens of meters thick. the lava dragon roared at the sky. countless rocks and the ground cracked and collapsed at the same time. the creature¡¯s aura was unparalleled! after circling in the air, it flew directly under the giant. then, the giant rode on the lava dragon and brought forth a terrifying heat wave. baring his fangs and brandishing his claws, he flew toward lin fan. that appearance¡­ it was as though he wanted to tear lin fan into pieces and turn him into ashes! if someone else saw this scene¡­ they would probably be so scared that their legs would go weak and they would fall to the ground. however, lin fan¡¯s expression remained the same. he said calmly, ¡°what will the flames look like when they freeze?¡± as the sound of lin fan¡¯s voice faded, the sea of lava on the ground suddenly froze, turning into fiery red ice crystals. the ice crystals continued to spread, and soon, the entire sea of lava froze. then, there was the roaring lava dragon and the giant standing on its head. in the end, the entire world turned into fiery red ice crystals! red¡­ it should have been a warm color. at this moment, a bone-piercing chill permeated the air. lin fan glanced at the fiery red ice and nodded his head gently. ¡°freezing flames produces quite a beautiful sight. i should end it now that i¡¯m done admiring the scenery.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, lin fan pulled out the star meteorite sword from his waist and waved it casually. the sword energy that filled the sky surged rapidly. instantly, all the ice crystals shattered and turned into fine powder in an instant. they formed falling ice sand, giving this world a different kind of scenery. at this moment, an emotionless voice rang out beside lin fan¡¯s ears.

[ding! you¡¯ve survived in the otherworld for 8,760,000 hours. you¡¯ve obtained 500 constitution points.] a weak energy flowed into his body. lin fan muttered, ¡°8,760,000 hours? a thousand years have passed? i¡¯ve been absorbing energy for such a long time.¡± even though a thousand years had allowed lin fan to obtain an unimaginable amount of power, lin fan still felt a little regretful. if he had known earlier, he would not have touched the ball of light with his hands. he had missed out on too many things. parents, family, lovers¡­ they were probably all gone, right? lin fan sighed and said, ¡°it¡¯s time to go back and take a look.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he directly disappeared into the void. in the next moment, he appeared on earth, in qing city. in the past, qing city was just a small city attached to the provincial capital of jiangbei. there were only a few decent high-rise buildings and a two-way six-lane roads in the entire urban area. the urban area area was also very small. there was even a joke at that time that one only needed to spend 20 yuan to take a taxi across the city however, the current qing city had completely changed. looking up, one could see dense skyscrapers, countless dragon-like two-way eight-lane roads and viaducts, as well as many hovering cars. bionic robots were walking on the sidewalk. there was a special fragrance in the air, and it smelled very good. technology¡­ there was no doubt that a huge change had occurred. lin fan was not too surprised by this. after all, 1,000 years had passed. in other words, lin fan would only be surprised if nothing had changed. lin fan looked in a direction. that¡­ used to be his home. unfortunately, there was no trace of home¡­ in fact, the entire street and area¡­ looked nothing like what he remembered. in its place was a very high-end, luxurious residential building. however, lin fan understood that this was where his home used to be. lin fan¡¯s mind moved, and his mind power spread out like a tide. he did not find any traces of his family in this high-end house. although he had already expected it, he could not help but feel a little disappointed. then, lin fan stepped out. in the next moment, he appeared in front of jiangbei university in jiangbei city. this place¡­ it was still jiangbei university. however, compared to before, both the area and the scale were more than twice as large. the school gate was also more than twice as large as before. it was extremely imposing. many men and women who were full of youth and vitality kept coming in and out. they were full of vigor and vitality. a wave of spiritual energy spread out, but it was quickly retracted. that was because lin fan still did not sense any familiar aura. a thousand years had passed, and everything had changed. lin fan seemed to be a little disappointed as he slowly raised his head to look at the blue sky. it was deep and vast. it was as if he had seen through the void and saw an unknown region that was endless. at this moment, a very clear and sweet voice sounded behind him. ¡°is there anything up there?¡± when lin fan heard that, he turned around slowly. in the next moment¡­ even after experiencing countless major events and even after a thousand years¡­ lin fan¡¯s heart raced as he froze on the spot. in front of him was a lady with a porcelain doll face, skin as white as snow and sparkling like jade, as well as a voluptuous figure. it was xia xue. after a thousand years, he saw his lover again! how could lin fan not be excited? ¡°xia xue!¡± after saying that, lin fan wanted to give her a big hug. xia xue reacted very quickly and directly dodged to the side. she said angrily, ¡°what are you doing? also, how do you know my name?!¡± lin fan was stunned once again. xia xue¡­ did not recognize him? how could this be? xia xue warned, ¡°let me tell you, this is jiangbei. there¡¯s surveillance everywhere! if you dare to act recklessly again, i¡¯ll inform the police!¡± when lin fan heard her voice, he came back to his senses. then, he quietly looked at xia xue. very quickly, lin fan noticed something different. although this lady did have xia xue¡¯s appearance, she seemed to be a little taller than xia xue. in addition, her temperament seemed to be different. then, lin fan used the eyes of true sight to look at xia xue. [favorability: 30] [appearance: 95] in the past, xia xue¡¯s favorability of him was 99! in addition, xia bing and xia xue always appeared at the same time. now, there was only one person. then, lin fan used the skill¡ªheartbeat. xia xue was thinking, ¡®this person¡¯s clothes are so strange. he even wanted to hug me. is he a pervert?¡¯ however, he¡¯s really handsome! a pervert shouldn¡¯t be so handsome, right?¡¯ lin fan¡¯s lips twitched. was a lady¡¯s mind so jumpy? after a while, lin fan cleared his throat and said, ¡°i¡¯m sorry, i just got the wrong person¡­¡± xia xue thought in her heart, ¡®he¡¯s so polite, and his voice is so nice!¡¯ as a result, xia xue¡¯s favorability toward lin fan rose sharply and instantly reached 60. lin fan¡¯s lips twitched again. she believed him with just one sentence? were women that trusting? xia xue nodded and said, ¡°i see¡­¡± ¡­ Chapter 626 - 626 Worship; Interested! 626 worship; interested! xia xue asked, ¡°right, are you a student of jiangbei university?¡± lin fan thought about it and said, ¡°you can say so.¡± strictly speaking, lin fan was indeed one. in the past, because he had solved zhou¡¯s conjecture, he had made an exception and became a student at jiangbei university. he was later promoted to a professor at jiangbei university. however, lin fan did not even get a diploma from jiangbei university. if he did not have a diploma, was he still considered a student of jiangbei university, then? the vigilance on xia xue¡¯s face disappeared in an instant and was replaced by a shallow smile. students were always synonymous with innocence. ¡°so, you¡¯re a freshman at jiangbei university this year!¡± she said with a smile. ¡°you must have come to the school to take a look before you registered, right? do you need me to bring you in to take a look?¡± in fact, even without xia xue, lin fan wanted to go in and take a look. what was more, xia xue appeared! he could not wait to spend more time with her. lin fan said, ¡°that¡¯s troublesome.¡± xia xue waved her hand. ¡°no trouble, no trouble. it¡¯s just a small matter.¡± nowadays, universities generally prohibited people from entering and leaving. firstly, it was not safe. secondly, it would affect the academic atmosphere. it was the same for jiangbei university. however, with xia xue leading the way, it could obviously reduce some trouble. when they came to the front door, a light curtain fell on xia xue¡¯s face, and the automatic door in front of her opened directly. the two of them strode in. in the past, jiangbei university had new skyscrapers and many old flat floors. the first thing that entered his eyes when he walked in now was a field of colorful flowers and green trees. the air was filled with a refreshing fragrance. looking up into the distance, lin fan saw tall, brand-new buildings. they were even more imposing than the central business district from a thousand years ago. xia xue said, ¡°our jiangbei university is the best school in the entire xia alliance, or even the world. if you can be admitted, your college entrance examination results must be very good, right? could you be the top scorer of some district?¡± xia alliance? district? had jiangbei university become the best university in the world? it seemed that the world had changed a lot in the past thousand years. lin fan smiled and shook his head. xia xue said, ¡°it doesn¡¯t matter if you¡¯re not the top scorer. after all, top scorers are everywhere in jiangbei university. it doesn¡¯t mean much.¡± suddenly, lin fan was attracted by a statue erected in front of a teaching building. xia xue looked in the direction of lin fan and smiled. ¡°you admire professor lin too? ¡°it¡¯s normal! there are probably very few students who don¡¯t admire him. ¡°it¡¯s really hard to imagine that someone from 1,000 years ago could solve zhou¡¯s conjecture, the twin prime number conjecture, hail¡¯s conjecture, hodge¡¯s conjecture, riemann¡¯s hypothesis, and so on. i still can¡¯t understand most of the steps to solve the problem. ¡°there¡¯s also earthquake prediction device in the physics field. until now, scientists have been unable to replicate it. his controlled nuclear fusion has also solved the energy problem in one fell swoop. ¡°he also invented two types of super batteries in the chemistry field. ¡°the human islet recovery drug. ¡°the gaming helmet too! i heard that the gaming helmet we use today are based on the models he built. ¡°amazing!¡± as xia xue spoke, her beautiful eyes became bright. it felt like a fan talking about their idol¡¯s achievements. lin fan rubbed his nose. to be praised like this to his face, it was really¡­ he felt a little embarrassed. then, xia xue said, ¡°in addition, there are legends about him¡­ back when the apocalypse had first appeared on earth, the xia alliance was formed by dozens of countries. each country had selected a few heroes to enter the otherworld to fight for earth¡¯s survival. ¡°the person chosen by hua nation was professor lin! ¡°it was also because of professor lin¡¯s powerful strength that he was able to dominate the otherworld in exchange for the peace on earth. ¡°he possessed endless knowledge, and at the same time, endless power! professor lin was an absolute god! a perfect god!¡± however, speaking of this¡­ xia xue smiled. ¡°however, many people say that professor lin didn¡¯t exist at all. or, even if he did exist, he didn¡¯t have that many achievements. it¡¯s just that later on, people attached a lot of things to him to create a better impression.¡± lin fan frowned. in ancient times, such a situation had indeed occurred. after all, history could only be written in ancient times, and it was easy to tamper with it. however, 1,000 years ago, the world already had film and television technology. in addition, if he remembered correctly, the actions in the otherworld were broadcasted live, right? since there was a live broadcast, there would definitely be recordings. those were irrefutable evidence! why would there be such suspicions 1,000 years later? at this time, xia xue said, ¡°after all, other countries have videos of heroes from the otherworld, but there are no videos of professor lin. in addition, there are no photos of professor lin on the internet.¡± no videos or photos? lin fan¡¯s expression changed slightly as a guess slowly formed in his heart. the super smart watch! yes, that was it! before entering the other world, lin fan had left the super smart watch on earth. the super smart watch knew that lin fan did not like to be exposed online. it was probably the only one who could do such a thing. xia xue seemed to have thought of something and said, ¡°oh right, i forgot to ask. what¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°i¡¯m lin fan,¡± lin fan said. xia xue could not help but be stunned. she sized lin fan up and then laughed. ¡°it seems that not only do you admire professor lin, but your parents also admire him! ¡°they actually named you after professor lin¡¯s name. ¡°however, it¡¯s normal to hope for your son to become a dragon and your daughter to become a phoenix. ¡°all the best, young man!¡± after that, xia xue continued to walk forward. ¡°it¡¯s said that professor lin used to work in that office. the book says that he was a workaholic and lived in the office almost every day. moreover, he¡¯d stay in the office for a long time. ¡°by the way, do you see the flower bed in front? according to the book, there was once a student who broke his leg there. professor lin looked at him limping and felt very sad. ¡°so, he locked himself in his office for a whole month. then, he invented an advanced prosthetic leg and successfully made that student stand up.¡± ¡­ xia xue felt that¡­ lin fan seemed to be very interested in professor lin. therefore, she specifically picked out professor lin¡¯s deeds to talk about. however, when lin fan heard all of this, his lips twitched uncontrollably. what was all this? Chapter 627 - 627 Rankings; The Worlds Richest! 627 rankings; the world¡¯s richest! lin fan cursed in his heart, ¡®when was i ever a workaholic?¡¯ living in the office almost every day? was the big bed in the coiling dragon villa not good enough? and¡­ when did a student break his leg and he felt heartache? why did he not know about it? was he that great? then, lin fan suddenly thought of the fables of some great people. he muttered in his heart, ¡®could it be that most fables are fake too?¡¯ lin fan shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. when lin fan and xia xue were strolling around the campus, the satellite in space suddenly turned around and the camera captured lin fan. then, in the quiet underground of jiangbei university, a strangely shaped black watch shot out a ray of light and made a cheerful sound. ¡°master is back!¡± then, the eyes of the bio-robot that was cleaning up the cafeteria of jiangbei university lit up. it immediately put down its work and strode out. ¡­ at this time, lin fan and xia xue were still strolling around. xia xue was very familiar with jiangbei university. she knew almost every place and introduced them one by one. when it came to professor lin¡¯s legends, she would especially emphasize them. unfortunately, she did not know that most of the legends were just made up by later generations. ¡°do you see that pine tree? legend had it that professor lin had solved many difficult problems under that tree. therefore, that tree is also known as the path-understanding tree. ¡°this is xuehai building. legend has it that professor lin once conducted tens of thousands of experiments here and invented the earthquake prediction device, the carbon-based photolithographic machine, the super batteries, and other products. ¡°do you see the place where there are so many pieces of paper? it¡¯s actually been cleaned up many times. that¡¯s because that was where professor lin often studied, and it has a very magical power. in the beginning, whenever there¡¯s an exam, many people would come to professor lin to pray that they could pass every exam. later on, for some reason, it became a place to make wishes. whether it¡¯s to have children or to overcome unforeseen circumstances at home, everyone would come to pray and make wishes¡­¡± when lin fan heard this, his face turned weird. had he become a temple? at this moment, a golden stream of light streaked across the sky. in today¡¯s highly civilized world, this did not attract much attention. in the next moment¡­ the golden stream of light suddenly exploded, causing the entire world to tremble slightly as it burst out with ten thousand dazzling golden lights. this time, it finally attracted the attention of many people. xia xue looked up in confusion. lin fan raised his head and squinted his eyes. at this moment¡­ the golden light spread out and gradually formed a golden scroll that covered the sky. it was dazzling. in a tall building that pierced through the clouds, a middle-aged man with slightly white sideburns slowly raised his head and asked in confusion, ¡°what kind of new technology is this? or is it the special power of a certain aptitude user? ¡°unbelievable!¡± unbelievable? that was right! even in today¡¯s highly renowned world, this was still an inconceivable thing. ¡­ at this moment, the golden scroll slowly unfolded. on it, three scorching hot words that were as dazzling as the sun appeared¡ª¡¯wealth rankings¡¯! [10th place: wang yao.] [reward: ten years of added lifespan, 10,000 constitution points.] ¡­ seeing this¡­ everyone exclaimed. ¡°10,000 constitution points! heavens!¡± ¡°this can¡¯t be true, right?¡± ¡°in addition, he has ten extra years of lifespan!¡± ¡°what exactly is this wealth rankings?¡± ¡°who¡¯s wang yao? i don¡¯t think i¡¯ve heard of him.¡± ¡°you don¡¯t know wang yao? then you should have heard of world car, right? the biggest shareholder is xier group, and wang yao is the boss of xier group. ¡°the market value of world car has exceeded eight trillion world coins! in addition. xier group has also invested in hundreds of large companies! i always thought that wang yao was the richest man in the world! the wealthy rankings is fake, right?¡± ¡°wang yao has gained 10,000 constitution points and ten years of lifespan. with this, xier group will definitely develop even better.¡± ¡­ at this moment, in a luxurious villa. wang yao, who had white hair, had a gleam in his turbid eyes. he felt very relaxed. he gently clenched his fist, feeling that it was filled with endless power. he looked up at the sky and said in a low voice, ¡°it¡¯s actually true!¡± ¡­ amidst the countless discussions, a few more lines of words appeared on the golden scroll. [9th place: chen yuxuan.] [reward: ten years of added lifespan, 10,000 constitution points, 10,000 points of spiritual energy, and the ability to cure all illnesses.] countless people once again joined in the discussion. ¡°oh my god, the ninth place actually won 10,000 points of spiritual energy! 10,000 points of spiritual energy! and he can cure all illnesses!¡± ¡°with 10,000 spiritual energy points, learning knowledge is definitely very easy. in fact, he can even solidify his spiritual energy!¡± ¡°chen yuxuan? could this be the chairman of yiwei group, chen yuxuan?¡± ¡°yiwei group has a large number of giant companies with a market value of trillions of world coins. i always thought he was the richest man in the world!¡± ¡­ on a skyscraper, chen yuxuan, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, stood up abruptly. all these years, chen yuxuan had been working day and night to develop his career. Chapter 628 - 628 Rankings; The Worlds Richest! (2) 628 rankings; the world¡¯s richest! (2) it was also because of this that his body was always in a state of overload. after many years, he finally became ill from overwork¡­ even with today¡¯s medical technology, it was difficult to completely recover. however, at this moment, his entire body was relaxed and full of strength. his mind had also become abnormally active. chen yuxuan raised his head and looked at the golden scroll in the sky. he rubbed his chin and said, ¡°it turns out that wealth can really be exchanged for health and time.¡± ¡­ [eighth place: zhang kang.] [reward: ten years of added lifespan, 10,000 constitution points, 10,000 points of spiritual energy, the ability to cure all illnesses, and level one aquamancer.] ¡°f*ck! a special ability! moreover, it¡¯s a very rare water control technique! oh my god!¡± ¡°zhang kang, which big shot is this?

he¡¯s not the richest man? who¡¯s the first?¡± ¡­ in a serene room¡­ zhang kang was sitting cross-legged. many people liked to indulge in debauchery after they had money. however, zhang kang was different. he was becoming more and more fond of meditation and health. he thought that his career was successful enough, so he should slow down his life and recuperate. at this moment, he suddenly stood up. he looked at his hands in disbelief. when zhang kang looked up, he happened to see the teacup not far away. his eyes turned slightly, and he gently hooked his finger. the next moment, the tea in the cup was like a transparent snake, spiraling out and circling around zhang kang. then, zhang kang moved his mind and let the water fall into his mouth. seeing this¡­ zhang kang could not help but reveal a hint of joy. he looked up at the golden scroll in the sky and said, ¡°perhaps the most important thing is to develop your career.¡± after saying that, zhang kang strode out. ¡­ [seventh place: liu fengbo] [reward: 20 years of added lifespan, 20,000 constitution points, 20,000 points of spiritual energy, the ability to cure all illnesses, and level one fire control.] ¡°oh my god! the increase in lifespan, constitution, and spiritual energy for the seventh place has all doubled! moreover, he also obtained a rare level one fire control!¡± ¡°damn it! who said that money was useless in the past?

[appearance: 95] [favorability: 70] although it was only a short interaction, xia xue¡¯s favorability of lin fan had increased a lot. seeing this¡­ the smile on lin fan¡¯s face grew wider. when xia xue¡¯s figure completely disappeared from lin fan¡¯s sight, he slowly turned around and looked at the bionic robot next to him. ¡°master, i¡¯m so happy to see you!¡± the android spread its arms and threw itself into lin fan¡¯s embrace. lin fan looked at the strange gazes around him and coughed lightly. ¡°let¡¯s find a quiet place and talk slowly.¡± ¡°yes, master!¡± the android said. after a while, they arrived at a very cozy private room. lin fan asked, ¡°little white, have you turned your body into this?¡± ¡°no,¡± the robot said. ¡°my body is still a super smart watch. this robot is just under my control.¡± lin fan nodded his head and said, ¡°first, you should compile the main events that happened after the forbidden area appeared 1,000 years ago into a document for me to go through.¡± ¡°yes, master,¡± the android said. then, the eyes of the android projected dense text. how many things had happened in 1,000 years? if all the events were made into a book, there would definitely be dozens of them. it would take at least a month for an ordinary person to finish reading all of them. however, lin fan had the scanning skill. in just ten minutes, he had finished reading all the information. it turned out that after lin fan touched the ball of light, he was burned to ashes in the live broadcast. immediately after, a thick white fog appeared in the entire hua nation. at first, everyone thought that this was the punishment for lin fan¡¯s death. some people thought that the white fog was poisonous and that they would die if they inhaled too much of it. however, everyone soon realized that this was wrong. this white fog was a special energy that had the effect of increasing strength and spiritual energy. some people had immense strength after inhaling the white fog. some people could control water and fire after inhaling the white fog. some people even gained the ability to fly after inhaling the white fog. after xia bing and xia xue inhaled the white fog, they became god-like existences in one go. they flew in the sky and arrived corea. they used their great strength to kill many people who insulted lin fan. later on, they even attracted the attention of the immortal sects. they congratulated them on becoming immortals. however, xia bing and xia xue chose to give up the opportunity. after turning into two huge balls of light, they never appeared again. ¡­ right now, lin fan¡¯s spiritual energy had reached a terrifying level. the stronger one¡¯s mental power was, the broader one¡¯s heart would be. generally speaking, there was nothing that could cause his heart to fluctuate too much. at this moment, he slowly raised his head and sighed. ¡°they didn¡¯t choose to become immortals and instead chose to wait for my return.¡± then, he said in an extremely firm tone, ¡°xia bing, xia xue, i won¡¯t let you wait in vain.¡± Chapter 630 - 630 Heading to the Imperial Hotel! 630 heading to the imperial hotel! as more and more people inhaled the white fog, the constitution of the hua people also continued to strengthen. adding on the fact that lin fan had killed monsters in the otherworld, hua nation¡¯s energy, environment, and other aspects had all improved tremendously. it was the complete opposite overseas. gradually, hua nation became the center of attention. most of the countries in xia attached themselves to hua nation, forming the current xia alliance. in addition, the reason why there were no pictures or videos of lin fan on the internet was just as lin fan had expected. all of them had been deleted and blocked by the super smart watch. ¡­ lin fan did not care too much about history. after a while, he asked, ¡°what about my parents, lil yao, hu tian, han tian, song jiaxin, su ningjing, ling rou, qiu ziqian, huang ling, chen xin, and xu jingrou?¡± ¡°i don¡¯t know either¡­¡± the android said. ¡°you don¡¯t know?¡± lin fan frowned. one had to know¡­ the reason why he did not take the super smart watch with him was to let it help his family and girlfriends on earth. but now, it actually said that it did not know. how could this satisfy lin fan? the android quickly said, ¡°because on the second day after xia bing and xia xue became immortals, your parents, lin xiaoyao, and your girlfriends suddenly gathered together. then, all of them suddenly disappeared.¡± ¡°disappeared?¡± lin fan was stunned. then, he revealed a thoughtful expression. ¡°spatial power?¡± the unhappiness on lin fan¡¯s face slowly faded away. lil white indeed possessed extremely advanced technology, enough to monitor the entire world. however, if it involved the power of space, it was powerless. lin fan said, ¡°i understand.¡± the android heaved a sigh of relief. as long as lin fan was not angry, it was good enough. following that, lin fan focused his attention on the system in his mind and locked onto the advanced space technique. in these 1,000 years, other than the advanced space technique and beginner time control skill¡­ his other abilities had all become perfect. now, he had the chance to make his advanced space technique perfect. [ding! congratulations, advanced space technique has been upgraded to perfect space technique.] instantly, the space around lin fan rippled like water. he raised his hand gently. in the next moment, lin fan¡¯s palm reached out from the wall in front of him. it was extremely strange and magical! lin fan muttered, ¡°so it can be used like this.¡± bionic robots and super smart watches were all machines in a strict sense. they would not have any emotional fluctuations at all. however, when the android saw this scene, it could not help but gape in shock. ¡°master¡­ master, just now¡­¡± lin fan said, ¡°this is the power of space. you can think of it as me being able to pass through the fourth dimension or even more dimensions.¡± ¡°as expected of master!¡± the android immediately praised him. lin fan waved his hand, ¡°oh right, why did i become the richest man in the world?¡± ¡°you used to hold shares in penguin group, little tanuki group, dahua group, and other companies,¡± the android said. ¡°you brought in a considerable amount of income every year. later on, these companies continued to develop, merge, and reorganize, bringing in a lot of wealth. ¡°in addition, your patents on super batteries, the carbon-based photolithographic machine, the human islet recovery drugs, prosthetics, controllable nuclear fusion, and so on have also brought you a lot of wealth¡­ ¡°and the wealth brought by the qing hong sect¡­ ¡°later, i invested a portion of the money and developed it. slowly, it became what it is now. ¡°now, all these companies belong to you.¡± as the android spoke, the projection showed a list of tens of thousands of companies. seeing this¡­ even lin fan could not help but be speechless. no wonder he became the richest man in the world. he actually had so many companies. ¡­ lin fan and the android stayed in the room until 5 pm. lin fan looked at the setting sun in the distance and said, ¡°it¡¯s almost time for dinner. let¡¯s go eat something first. ¡°what is the food like 1,000 years later?¡± as lin fan spoke, a look of anticipation appeared on his face. ¡°lil white, are there any good places to eat?¡± ¡°imperial hotel!¡± ¡°oh? is it the old imperial hotel?¡± lin fan¡¯s face revealed a look of surprise. ¡°it is the old imperial hotel, but it has been rebuilt 15 times.¡± ¡°the imperial hotel now has a total of 365 floors and is one of the five nine-star hotels in the xia alliance. it has the world¡¯s most precious ingredients and the best chefs. it can give you the best enjoyment. ¡°in addition, the imperial hotel still belongs to you, and the general manager of the imperial hotel is the descendant of wang fengyi.¡± lin fan¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°not bad! then let¡¯s go to the imperial hotel.¡± the most precious ingredients, the most outstanding chef, and wang fengyi¡¯s descendant were all attractive points to lin fan. when lin fan and the android arrived at the entrance of jiangbei university, an extremely luxurious and cool hover car was already parked in front of them. when the passersby saw this hover car, they all gave it a sidelong glance. many people even took out their phones to take pictures. it turned out that no matter which era people were from, they would be very envious of luxury cars. the space inside the hover car was much larger than lin fan had imagined. lying flat on the ground and walking in it were no problem at all. the air was filled with a pleasant fragrance. as the car drove, there was no sign of any hesitation or shaking. there was a naked-eye 3d projection in front of lin fan, so he could easily handle meetings and calls. lin fan nodded his head in satisfaction and said, ¡°what kind of car is this?¡± ¡°this is one car produced by lx cars that lv and da mi group invested in. there are only ten of them in the world, and the price is 200 million world coins. ¡°according to the purchasing power of 1,000 years ago, it¡¯s about one billion yuan,¡± the android said. one billion yuan? a car worth one billion? no wonder there were so many people taking photos. lin fan nodded. one drove past the winding road. not long after, an extremely fashionable and imposing skyscraper that pierced through the clouds slowly appeared in their field of vision. this¡­ was the imperial hotel. after lin fan got out of the car, he sized up the hotel and was about to walk in. at this moment, an extremely surprised voice suddenly sounded from behind. ¡°lin fan?¡± lin fan heard this and turned around slowly. soon, his face revealed a hint of surprise. ¡°xia xue?¡± at this time, xia xue was wearing a blue dress. she had the same cute face, the same sweet voice, and the same full figure¡­ at this moment, lin fan felt as though he had returned to 1,000 years ago. Chapter 631 - 631 Visiting; I Made a Reservation! 631 visiting; i made a reservation! at this moment¡­ lin fan felt as though all the pedestrians in the distance, the tall buildings in front of him, and the road beneath his feet¡­ disappeared. in his eyes, there was only a beautiful figure¡ªxia xue. time¡­ it was as if it had been frozen. everyone was in a state of stillness. xia xue was stared at by lin fan. her pretty face blushed as she said, ¡°why are you looking at me like that?¡± only then did lin fan react. ¡°this outfit suits you very well. you look very beautiful.¡± ¡°is that so?¡± xia xue became more and more shy. then, she tried her best to change the topic and said, ¡°by the way, have you had dinner?¡± lin fan shook his head. ¡°not yet.¡± xia xue said, ¡°then you¡¯re lucky today!¡± ¡°do you see that? it¡¯s the nine-star imperial hotel! other than being a student at jiangbei university, i¡¯m also a live streamer for sea shark! ¡°today, i¡¯m going to the nine-star imperial hotel for a live broadcast! as long as you get your android to help me hold the camera, you can eat the delicacies of the imperial hotel for free later. ¡°how is it? isn¡¯t it very cost-effective?¡± as xia xue spoke, there was a touch of expectation on her pretty face. lin fan was stunned. xia xue was a famous streamer in this world? after a while, lin fan nodded. ¡°of course.¡± ¡°alright, get ready for the live broadcast!¡± xia xue said happily. as soon as she finished speaking, she took out a foldable monitor from her pocket. very soon, an extremely clear image appeared on the screen. the live broadcast¡­ began! xia xue¡¯s voice was very sweet. she had a charming appearance and was very good at choosing the theme¡­ after a few times, she gained quite a bit of popularity on sea shark. not long after she started streaming, someone started leaving comments. zhu xuan: [ah! our lil xue is starting her live broadcast!] qingchun won¡¯t come: [imperial hotel! xia xue is really trustworthy. she really came to the imperial hotel!] student xiaoming: [i¡¯ve long heard of the imperial hotel¡¯s name. today, i can finally take a good look.] newcomer: [looking forward to xia xue¡¯s live broadcast.] wind: [huh? why is there someone standing next to xia xue? from his back, he looks quite tall and a little handsome.] flower: [handsome? according to my many years of experience, this is definitely a handsome man! he¡¯s super handsome!] ¡­ in the screen of the live broadcast room, xia xue was seen walking forward with a brisk pace. it had to be said that the imperial hotel was indeed extraordinary. the hall was ten meters high, with diamond chandeliers, gold-inlaid floors, and white jade carvings¡­ the luxury of the hotel was revealed everywhere. although xia xue was already mentally prepared, after seeing this scene, she could not help but be stunned. at this moment, a waiter in a suit walked over with a smile and said respectfully, ¡°welcome to the imperial hotel. how can i help you?¡± when xia xue heard it, she came back to her senses and said, ¡°uhh¡­ hello, i want to eat here.¡± ¡°do you have a reservation?¡± asked the waiter. ¡°no, i don¡¯t,¡± xia xue said. ¡°i¡¯m very sorry,¡± the waiter said apologetically. ¡°all the tables in our imperial hotel have been reserved for the next 15 days. if you want to eat here, you can reserve a table for after 15 days.¡± xia xue was somewhat incredulous. ¡°have all the tables been reserved?¡± one had to know¡­ the imperial hotel was 365 stories high. even though many of them were rooms and banquet halls¡­ the dining area would definitely take up a lot of space. in the end, the place was fully booked for 15 days? ¡°yes.¡± the waiter apologized again. xia xue was a little disappointed. she had already promised her fans that she would visit the imperial hotel. in addition, she had heard of the imperial hotel a long time ago. her dream was to come in and taste the delicacies. her promises and expectations were about to turn into bubbles. lin fan also saw the disappointment in xia xue¡¯s heart and said, ¡°don¡¯t worry, i¡¯ve already booked a table.¡± xia xue could not help blinking her eyes, her pretty face full of doubts. ¡°i¡¯m lin fan,¡± lin fan said to the waiter. ¡°mr. lin, please wait a moment.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he quickly took out the folding screen and searched. but soon, the waiter hesitated and said, ¡°mr. lin, i¡¯m sorry. i don¡¯t seem to have found any information about your reservation in the system. of course, there might be some loopholes in the system. ¡°excuse me, do you have your reservation information? if it¡¯s convenient, can i take a look?¡± it had to be said that the imperial hotel was indeed a nine-star hotel. just the service of the waiters was far from what ordinary restaurants could compare to. lin fan waved his hand and said, ¡°i don¡¯t have any reservation information. you can call your general manager, wang you. he knows.¡± no reservation information? moreover, he had to ask the general manager himself? the waiter could not help but hesitate. after all, he could not just call the general manager for no reason. if the general manager was not satisfied, the consequences would be very serious. however, the waiter could feel the extraordinary aura coming from lin fan. he gritted his teeth and said, ¡°mr. lin, please wait a moment.¡± after saying that, he walked to the side and took out his phone. after hesitating for a moment, he made a call. if he called, he might just make the general manager unhappy. however, if he neglected a possible vip, it would definitely make the general manager furious. ¡­ xia xue quietly pulled the corner of lin fan¡¯s clothes and said, ¡°he¡¯s going to call the general manager now. what should we do later?¡± obviously, xia xue did not think that lin fan had already booked a table. how could he have booked a table with the general manager. xia xue felt that lin fan was just deliberately bluffing the waiter and taking the opportunity to get a table. it was no wonder xia xue would think so. the imperial hotel was one of the top five nine-star hotels in xia alliance! the general manager of the imperial hotel was definitely a very important person. lin fan was just a freshman at jiangbei university. how could he possibly get a table from the general manager? lin fan naturally understood xia xue¡¯s thoughts and smiled. ¡°don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s not a problem.¡± at this moment, the waiter had already put down his phone and walked over quickly. ¡°hello, mr. lin. this way, please.¡± the waiter bowed and spoke in a much more respectful tone than before. the words of the general manager, wang you, seemed to still echo in his ears. ¡°mr. lin is the most distinguished guest of our imperial hotel! i¡¯m on my way there now. before that, you have to ensure that mr. lin receives excellent service! ¡°after this, i will give you the highest reward!¡± the waiter had never heard the general manager speak in such a serious tone. he understood that mr. lin was definitely an extraordinary existence. the waiter was secretly glad that he had called the general manager. Chapter 632 - 632 Delicious Food; Not Showing Respect?! 632 delicious food; not showing respect?! xia xue almost could not believe her eyes and ears. the waiter was so respectful to lin fan? did he just confirm it with the general manager? did lin fan really book a spot with the general manager? lin fan saw that xia xue was stunned and did not move. he could not help but say, ¡°why are you standing there? aren¡¯t we going in for dinner?¡± ¡°oh¡­ oh¡­ alright,¡± xia xue responded. under the guidance of the waiter, the three of them and the android entered the vip exclusive luxury elevator. one could only see the numbers on the elevator jumping rapidly, but one could not feel any shaking or weightlessness. when the number jumped to 365, a crisp sound came from the elevator. ¡°this way, please,¡± the waiter said respectfully. they passed through a spacious and luxurious corridor. the waiter pushed open the heavy door of the private room. when xia xue walked into this private room, she could not help but open her mouth wide. her beautiful eyes flashed faintly, and her pretty face was full of amazement. this private room was extremely spacious and gorgeous. there was a resplendent crystal chandelier, a soft and bright wool carpet, a table and chairs embedded with diamonds, and white jade tableware¡­ more importantly, the three walls of this private room were made of high-brightness full-length glass. at the top of the 365-story building, there were already many clouds gathered outside. this made this luxurious private room seem like it was in the sky, like a paradise! lin fan saw that xia xue liked it so much and nodded with satisfaction. ¡°mr. lin, this is our menu.¡± then, a 3d projection of the dishes appeared on the table. lin fan turned to xia xue and said, ¡°take a look. is there anything you like?¡± after xia xue heard the question, she slowly recovered her thoughts and said, ¡°ah¡­ ah¡­ i-i¡¯m not picky. you choose the dishes.¡± lin fan nodded and quickly ordered a few dishes. ¡°do you have any recommendations?¡± he asked the waiter. the waiter said respectfully, ¡°not long ago, our imperial hotel imported a batch of deep sea golden gall, giant scorpion, and armored shrimp from the pacific forbidden area. the meat is very delicious. coupled with the cooking skills of our special chef, the taste is surely very good.¡± as he spoke, he could not help but gulp. obviously, the taste of the food was indeed very good. lin fan nodded, ¡°alright, then serve all the dishes you mentioned.¡± then, lin fan ordered a few more dishes and two bottles of wine. ¡°that¡¯s all for now.¡±¡± ¡°alright, mr. lin. please wait a moment.¡± after saying that, he slowly left the private room. soon, only xia xue, lin fan, and the android were left in the room. xia xue looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window and suddenly remembered that she was still broadcasting. she quickly picked up the folding screen. at this moment, the number of people online in the live broadcast room had reached 310,000! bullet comments appeared. man¡¯s youth: [oh my god! i thought lin fan was just bluffing the waiter. in the end, it¡¯s actually true? did he book a table with the general manager of the imperial hotel? isn¡¯t this too awesome?] lucky: [it¡¯s not just awesome, it¡¯s simply divine, okay? he directly booked a room on the 365th floor! oh my god!] don¡¯t cry: [it¡¯s like a fairy tale.] life is precious: [who exactly is this mr. lin?] phoenix: [xia xue, could it be that you scripted this?] moon in the wind: [if it¡¯s a script, it¡¯s too exaggerated!] ¡­ xia xue saw this and quickly said, ¡°this isn¡¯t scripted. however, i¡¯m not too sure about the specific situation.¡± then, she asked, ¡°lin fan, are you very close to the general manager of the imperial hotel?¡± lin fan shook his head, ¡°i haven¡¯t seen him.¡± ¡°huh?¡± xia xue could not help but be stunned. they were not familiar with each other? yet he just said that he booked a table with the general manager. then, the waiter ran over to make a call before bringing them to the top floor private room. this¡­ this¡­ could it be that the waiter was scared and did not make the call at all? or was there some misunderstanding? there was really a vip who made a reservation with the general manager, but the waiter got the wrong person. what should they do? lin fan seemed to see the worry in xia xue¡¯s heart and could not help but smile. ¡°don¡¯t worry, just eat in peace.¡± ¡­ three chefs were pushing the deep sea golden gall, giant scorpion, armored shrimp, and other ingredients toward the work elevator. at this moment, a man in a checkered shirt walked over with a gorgeous woman on his arm. the gorgeous woman said in a delicate voice, ¡°the deep sea golden gall can improve one¡¯s looks. brother jie, i want to eat the deep sea golden gall later.¡± ¡°if my baby wants to eat it, of course, there¡¯s no problem!¡± the man in the checkered shirt immediately said. then, he stopped the three chefs and said, ¡°later, send a serving of deep sea golden gall to spring room on the 288th floor. hmm, that giant scorpion is not bad either.¡± ¡°brother jie, you¡¯re really great,¡± the gorgeous woman said happily. as she spoke, she did not forget to rub herself against the man in the checkered shirt. ¡°of course!¡± the man in the checkered shirt laughed. the chef standing at the front could not help but say apologetically, ¡°i¡¯m sorry, sir. our imperial hotel only has one serving of deep sea golden gall and giant scorpion today.¡± ¡°only one?¡± asked the man in the checkered shirt. ¡°isn¡¯t that just nice? send them to my private room.¡± ¡°but they¡¯ve already been ordered,¡± the chef said apologetically. ¡°brother jie, i want to eat the deep sea golden gall,¡± the gorgeous woman said aggrievedly. the man in the checkered shirt patted her shoulder gently and said, ¡°don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll definitely be able to eat it.¡± then, he said to the chef, ¡°it¡¯s not like they¡¯ve already eaten it. tell the person who ordered it that i, fang wenjie, am willing to pay twice the price to buy the deep sea golden gall from him! ¡°now, send the deep sea golden gall to my private room.¡± the chef hesitated and said, ¡°this¡­ i¡¯m afraid i can¡¯t make such a decision.¡± the man in the checkered shirt raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°alright, i won¡¯t make things difficult for you. tell me, which private room is he in? i¡¯ll go and tell him personally!¡± the chef was a little hesitant and did not answer immediately. the man in the checkered shirt was finally angry. he said in a deep voice, ¡°what¡¯s wrong? you won¡¯t even show me, fang wenjie, this bit of respect? do you look down on my dafang group that much? do you look down on my fang family so much?¡± when the chefs heard this, their hearts beat wildly. the fang family of the dafang group was definitely a tycoon family. they were a terrifying existence that could easily crush them with a finger. the chef who had been speaking said in a panic, ¡°uhh¡­ the guest is in a private room on the 365th floor.¡± ¡°alright, i got it,¡± fang wenjie said calmly. Chapter 633 - 633 Changing Rooms; Noisy! 633 changing rooms; noisy! the imperial hotel had been very famous since a thousand years ago. large corporations, families, and even officials¡­ all of them would choose to hold banquets and entertain guests at the imperial hotel. every head of the wang family was the general manager of the imperial hotel. it was also because of this that the wang family was able to accumulate wealth, and it also allowed them to obtain many connections and possess an extremely high status. wang you, the current head of the wang family, had been groomed by the family since he was young. his temper, personality, and ability far exceeded ordinary people. in the past, no matter what he dealt with, he was always as calm as water and easily resolved every problem. however¡­ today, he seemed very anxious. after he put down his phone, he did not care about the custom-made exotic beast leather shoes that cost 100,000 world coins on his feet. he jogged all the way to the small garden. the servants on the way bowed and greeted him. however, wang you did not even have the time to respond. in the small garden, an old man wearing a tang suit named wang qianjin frowned slightly and said, ¡°wang you, didn¡¯t i teach you this before? as the head of the family, the first thing you have to do is to remain calm!¡± wang you took a deep breath before calming himself down. after a while, he said, ¡°yes, dad.¡± ¡°what happened?¡± wang qianjin asked lightly. ¡°mr. lin is here!¡± wang you said. wang qianjin was stunned for a moment and said, ¡°mr. lin?¡± ¡°mr. lin fan,¡± wang you said again. ¡°what? are you talking about mr. lin fan from 1,000 years ago? boss lin?¡± wang qianjin¡¯s pupils constricted slightly as he said excitedly. ¡°yes.¡± wang you continued, ¡°it¡¯s a message from the mysterious account left behind by our ancestor.¡± ¡°mr. lin is back, mr. lin is back!¡± wang qianjin shouted excitedly again. ¡°where is mr. lin now?¡± ¡°he¡¯s on the 365th floor of the imperial hotel,¡± wang you said. ¡°good, good, good!¡± wang qianjin shouted. ¡°quickly gather all the direct descendants of the wang family. also, come with me to see the old master, and then we¡¯ll meet mr. lin together!¡± then, the entire wang family became noisy. wang qianjin, who had been calm and indifferent just now, was in a frenzy. the old man and the middle-aged man were like children as they continued to advance in the wang family manor like a competition. after a while, the two of them arrived in front of a green bamboo forest. a white-haired wang zhihai was practicing tai chi in the bamboo forest. after he heard what wang qianjin and wang you said, a rare flush gradually appeared on his originally thin old face. ¡°get ready to open hibernation chamber 0,¡± wang zhihai said. wang qianjin and wang you turned solemn. they knew very well what was inside hibernation chamber 0. ¡°now, let¡¯s go and meet mr. lin.¡± ¡°yes,¡± wang qianjin and wang you said in unison. ¡­ meanwhile, at the imperial hotel. xia xue was facing the camera and interacting with the audience in the live broadcast room. ¡°where else do you want to see? ¡°later, i¡¯ll taste the delicacies of the imperial hotel and tell everyone how they taste.¡± ¡­ at this moment, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open. then, fang wenjie and the gorgeous woman walked in. the gorgeous woman¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw the gorgeous decorations in the private room and the fairy-like clouds outside the french window. ¡°brother wenjie, this private room is so beautiful,¡± she said coquettishly. ¡°if i eat here, my appetite will definitely be very good.¡± as she spoke, she started rubbing against fang wenjie¡¯s body again. ¡°alright, then we¡¯ll eat here.¡± fang wenjie smiled. then, he said to lin fan, ¡°bro, i¡¯ll take out twice the money to buy the deep sea golden gall and giant scorpion that you ordered. also, i¡¯ll take out another 100,000 world coins to get your private room. how about that?¡± fang wenjie¡¯s tone did not contain a trace of inquiry or discussion at all. he said his words like he was giving out an order. he was high and mighty, looking down on everything! since xia xue walked into the imperial hotel, the number of people in her live broadcast room had been rising. at this moment, it had already reached 400,000 people. after hearing fang wenjie¡¯s words, the entire live broadcast room was flooded with comments. big ka: [f*ck, this person is so arrogant!] chong yang: [but he has the capital to be arrogant! if i¡¯m not mistaken, he should be the fang family¡¯s young master, fang wenjie.] hanada cuo: [fang family? the fang family of dafang group?] little painter: [that¡¯s right! it¡¯s the dafang group! last time, i even saw some gossip about him online. is the person beside him xiao xiaoyu? she has more than 20 million fans!] happy family: [i really don¡¯t want xia xue to give the private room to fang wenjie, but he¡¯s offering 100,000 world coins, after all. besides, the fang family is so scary¡­ sigh.] fool: [xia xue should not force herself considering she¡¯s up against such a vicious young master.] ¡­ everyone understood that in front of absolute power, one had to lower one¡¯s head. xia xue had never encountered such a situation, and she could not help but be nervous and flustered. lin fan gently patted xia xue¡¯s shoulder and gave her a reassuring look. then, he slowly opened his mouth and spat out two words. ¡°get out!¡± he did not seem to have used too much strength. however, his voice reverberated in the private room. fang wenjie¡¯s face instantly turned ugly. ¡°what did you say?¡± ¡°scram!¡± lin fan said again. his voice was like thunder, causing fang wenjie and the gorgeous woman¡¯s ears to buzz. instantly, fang wenjie¡¯s face sank. no one had ever dared to speak to him like this. he was completely enraged! ¡°brat, how dare you?!¡± lin fan raised his brows and said solemnly, ¡°how noisy!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand casually. fang wenjie¡¯s entire body seemed to have been hit by a car. he flew out and smashed into the wall outside, unable to get up again. ¡°ah!¡± the gorgeous woman was so frightened that she screamed loudly. then, she hurriedly ran to fang wenjie¡¯s side and said, ¡°brother wenjia, are you okay?¡± at this moment, hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor. the waiter seemed to have heard the abnormality in the private room and ran over in a hurry. he first used a very apologetic tone and said, ¡°mr. lin, i¡¯m sorry for disturbing your meal.¡± then, the waiter looked at fang wenjie, who was lying on the ground and unable to get up. he could not help but say in surprise, ¡°young master fang?¡± the fang family had great power, and fang wenjie was a regular customer of the imperial hotel. the waiter obviously knew him. ¡°you came just in time. this kid actually dared to attack me. hurry up! hurry up and get someone to arrest him!¡± fang wenjie used all his strength to scream hysterically. Chapter 634 - 634 Hello, Mr. Lin; How Should We Deal With This?! 634 hello, mr. lin; how should we deal with this?! the originally quiet and peaceful 365th floor of the imperial hotel quickly became noisy. the atmosphere was so tense that one could cut it with a knife. the waiter did not expect this to happen. when he heard fang wenjie¡¯s words, his face turned pale and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. fang wenjie was the young master of the fang family, and his status was very impressive. lin fan was the most distinguished guest that general manager wang you had personally instructed him to serve well. neither side could be easily offended. ¡­ in the live broadcast room. big guai: [f*ck! awesome! he actually made a move!] ruyan of the past: [he was sent flying with a casual palm strike. could the guy be a special ability user? moreover, he¡¯s a very powerful special ability user!] m: [it¡¯s over. mr. lin is finished. xia xue is finished too!] special ability users are indeed powerful, but the fang family has them too!] 123 wooden man: [the fang family¡¯s power is unimaginable. this young man¡­ is a little impulsive.] four seasons like spring: [i want to say that he did a good job! however, my rationality tells me that he shouldn¡¯t have picked a fight.] menlo: [xia xue, be careful.] pi: [even the fang family can¡¯t attack people casually, right?] m: [yes, they can¡¯t make a move casually, but as long as they find a good enough reason, it¡¯ll be easy.] ¡­ xia xue was also scared by the atmosphere of the scene. her pretty face gradually turned pale, and she did not know what to do. lin fan patted xia xue¡¯s shoulder and smiled. ¡°don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll be fine.¡± these words seemed to have a magical power that made her feel extremely relaxed. at this moment, the vip elevator not far away rang softly. then, a large group of men and women in suits and white shirts walked over quickly. they were from the wang family. when everyone arrived at the private room and saw lin fan¡­ they bowed in unison and said in an extremely sincere and excited voice, ¡°greetings, mr. lin.¡± this scene shocked the waiter and xia xue. the waiter had seen many members of the wang family. in addition, not long ago, he had learned from wang you¡¯s phone call that lin fan was a very distinguished guest. however, he did not expect wang you to bring over all the core members of the wang family¡­ among them, even wang qianjin and wang zhihai had rushed over. they bowed to lin fan and greeted him. they were wang qianjin and wang zhihai! this was simply unbelievable! xia xue, on the other hand, was at a loss. although she did not know anyone from the wang family, just from their temperament, she could feel that they were all extraordinary. there were so many people, including many elders¡­ they bowed toward lin fan. lin fan¡­ was still so young. what was his identity? ¡­ in the live broadcast room. little ming: [can someone tell me what happened here?] song: [this¡­ why are there suddenly so many people here?] in my imagination: [f*ck! that seems to be wang you! wang you is the general manager of the imperial hotel! he actually bowed to mr. lin? heavens! who is he?] feng zhong: [it¡¯s not just wang you! do you see the two old men in front of him? if i¡¯m not wrong, they should be the previous heads of the wang family, wang qianjin and wang zhihai. at the same time, they¡¯re also the former general managers of the imperial hotel!] super dreamer: [does anyone know who this young man is?] love you for ten thousand years: [i don¡¯t know why, but i feel like i met a big shot today!] ¡­ in fact, not only the waiter and xia xue were shocked. fang wenjie, who was lying on the ground, was also stunned. he had never seen wang zhihai and wang qianjin, but he had seen wang dakai, who was standing at the back, and wang you, the general manager of the imperial hotel. they all bowed and greeted lin fan? who exactly was lin fan? at this moment, the gorgeous woman standing at the side said, ¡°brother wenjie, are your injuries serious? that person is detestable! ¡°you¡¯re the young master of the fang family. he actually dared to hit you directly. ¡°brother wenjie, you must teach him a lesson.¡± then, she looked at the wang family members who were still bowing at lin fan and said, ¡°brother wenjie, there are so many of them. should we call the fang family now?¡± the gorgeous woman obviously did not know wang you and the others. she just thought that they were lin fan¡¯s subordinates. however, she was not afraid. for a gorgeous woman to have more than 20 million fans, she could be considered to have experienced some things. at the same time, she was also very clear about how powerful the fang family was. otherwise, she would not have spent so much effort to hook up with fang wenjie. in the eyes of the gorgeous woman, no matter how many people lin fan had in front of him, it was useless. they could not compare to the fang family at all. after fang wenjie heard the gorgeous woman¡¯s words, he slowly recovered from the shock in his heart. that was right. lin fan was the one who made the first move. even if he really did have some background, he would still have the advantage. moreover, his fang family might not be afraid of the other party. in addition, if he did not do anything, the other party would probably think that he was afraid. besides, he had a woman beside him. no matter what, he could not lose face in front of a woman. thinking of this, fang wenjie¡¯s tone became high again. he shouted at the top of his voice, ¡°general manager wang, i was beaten up at your hotel. shouldn¡¯t you give me an explanation first?¡± lin fan looked at fang wenjie with interest. everyone from the wang family seemed to have sensed lin fan¡¯s gaze. hence, they all turned to look at fang wenjie, who was lying on the ground. ¡°who are you?¡± wang you asked with a frown. ¡°why are you here?¡± that was because he had already instructed the staff to clear all 365 floors to entertain lin fan. faced with so many gazes, fang wenjie felt inexplicably nervous. he gritted his teeth and replied, ¡°i¡¯m fang wenjie. my father is the chairman of dafang group, fang zhong.¡± fang zhong¡¯s name seemed to bring fang wenjie endless strength, making him feel much more relaxed. fang wenjie continued, ¡°my girlfriend and i want to eat deep sea golden gall and giant scorpion, but your hotel only has one serving of them left. moreover, they were reserved by this young man. ¡°therefore, i went upstairs to buy the deep sea golden gall and the giant scorpion at twice the price. ¡°also, i offered 100,000 world coins for his private room. ¡°i think i was being reasonable. ¡°in the end, he didn¡¯t agree. he even asked me to get lost. after that, he beat me up with a palm strike. ¡°general manager wang, how should your hotel handle this matter?!¡± Chapter 635 - 635 Fight; Unbelievable! 635 fight; unbelievable! fang wenjie first mentioned his identity. then, he used what he thought was a clever method to push all the responsibility to the hotel and to lin fan! he believed that the imperial hotel would definitely make the best choice. in fact, fang wenjie was already imagining the scene of lin fan being captured and then being brutally beaten up by him. gradually, a cruel smile appeared on fang wenjie¡¯s face. ¡­ however, fang wenjie¡¯s words had a completely different effect to the people present. offering twice the price to buy the dishes lin fan had ordered?! also, he wanted to use 100,000 world coins to get lin fan¡¯s private room?! the fang family? dafang group? what guts! wang you, wang qianjin, wang zhihai, and the other family heads of the wang family all had extremely ugly expressions. wang zhihai, who was wearing a white training suit, said coldly, ¡°explanation? you deserve a beating!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, wang zhihai took a step forward. he was seemingly slow but actually fast. in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of fang wenjie and kicked twice. fang wenjie¡¯s legs broke with a crisp sound. at the same time, a blood-curdling scream echoed on the 365th floor of the imperial hotel. ¡­ in the live broadcast room. fallen leaves: [did he make a move?] forget: [that¡¯s the young master of dafang group. from the looks of it¡­ his legs are broken?] shura: [this old man seems to be the grandfather of the current general manager of the imperial hotel, wang you. he¡¯s actually a powerful special ability user.] everyone¡¯s hobbies: [not only was the young master of the dafang group beaten up at the imperial hotel, but his legs were also broken by the old master of the wang family. now, the fang family and the wang family are in trouble.] song ren: [old master wang actually beat up fang wenjie because of that young man. who exactly is that young man?] ¡­ countless comments kept rolling. everyone was shocked. ¡­ wang zhihai was completely unaware of the situation in the live broadcast room. he used his indifferent eyes to glance at the gorgeous woman standing beside fang wenjia. she was so frightened that her face instantly turned pale and she fell to the ground weakly. cold sweat rolled down her face as her entire body trembled. it was terrifying. wang zhihai did not attack her. instead, he turned around and walked back. he bowed and continued to speak in an extremely respectful tone, ¡°mr. lin, i¡¯m sorry to disturb you.¡± lin fan waved his hand and said, ¡°it¡¯s fine. it¡¯s just the barking of a mad dog. just throw him out.¡± ¡°yes,¡± wang zhihai said. under the watchful eyes of everyone in the live broadcast room, several members of the wang family dragged fang wenjie, who was still screaming miserably, into the elevator by his limbs. the 365th floor of the imperial hotel quickly quieted down. ¡°is our food almost ready?¡± lin fan asked as if nothing had happened. wang zhihai did not say anything and turned to look at the waiter beside him. the waiter was already shocked by what had happened in front of him. after a while, he noticed wang zhihai¡¯s gaze and hurriedly said, ¡°it should be done soon. i¡¯ll help you urge the chefs.¡± as he spoke, he quickly walked to the side and picked up his phone to make a call. after a while, three chefs quickly walked over with fresh ingredients. very soon, the colorful and fragrant delicacies were served on the table one after another. lin fan took a whiff of the fragrance and nodded. ¡°it looks pretty good.¡± then, he said to xia xue, ¡°xia xue, try it.¡± ¡°ah¡­ alright, alright,¡± xia xue stuttered. she slowly picked up her chopsticks and put the red meat into her mouth. soon, xia xue¡¯s beautiful eyes lit up as she sincerely praised, ¡°delicious!¡± lin fan looked at how happy she was and was extremely happy as well. he picked up a piece of meat and golden sea urchin. ¡°this tastes good too.¡± xia xue ate the sea urchin as well. the two of them ate for nearly an hour, and their stomachs became round. at this time, the sky was gradually darkening. through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could easily take in the night view of jiangbei. after eating and drinking to their fill, they looked at the beautiful scenery. it was truly a great enjoyment. when lin fan pushed open the door, wang zhihai, wang qianjin, wang you, and the other core members of the wang family were all waiting outside like loyal servants. when they saw lin fan, they bowed and greeted him respectfully. lin fan nodded. ¡°help me prepare a room. i¡¯m going to take a shower and rest.¡± strictly speaking, it had been over a thousand years since lin fan had bathed and slept in a bed. his body was not dirty. sleeping was just a method to get rid of the waste in the human body and recover the human body¡¯s skills, and with lin fan¡¯s physique, he did not even need to sleep to achieve those things. however, lin fan still wanted to take a shower and sleep on the bed. it was the experience that mattered. then, lin fan asked, ¡°xia xue, do you want to stay here together?¡± xia xue¡¯s pretty face flushed as she stuttered, ¡°i¡­ i still have something to do back at school, so i won¡¯t be staying.¡± lin fan nodded. ¡°okay, send xia xue to jiangbei university.¡± ¡°yes,¡± wang haizhi said excitedly. excited? that was right! excitement! to wang zhi hai, being able to do something for lin fan was an extremely glorious thing. this was the wang family¡¯s ancestral teachings! when xia xue came downstairs to the imperial hotel, a super luxury hover car was already waiting at the door. the waiter opened the door for xia xue and said respectfully, ¡°miss xia, please.¡± xia xue was amazed by the appearance of the hover car. after a while, she came back to her senses and said, ¡°ah¡­ alright, alright.¡± the exterior was stunning, and the interior was unbelievably luxurious. it was spacious, with soft and comfortable leather seats, soft lighting, high-end drinks, as well as desserts¡­ it was like a moving castle. how fascinating! the car sped all the way. xia xue did not feel any acceleration, deceleration, or bumps. when the car door opened again, xia xue found that she had appeared in front of the gate of jiangbei university. this feeling was as if she had just traveled through space. it was extremely magical. xia xue was stunned for a moment, and then she said to the driver, ¡°thank you.¡± ¡°it¡¯s my honor,¡± the driver said respectfully. after the super luxury car drove off, xia xue remembered that she was still broadcasting. she quickly picked up the foldable monitor. the next moment, she was completely stunned. in this live broadcast, xia xue was completely different from before. usually, she was always interacting and communicating with her fans. she even showed her talents. hence, xia xue was already prepared for her popularity to drop after this. however, at this moment, the number of people online in the live broadcast room had actually reached 2.1 million! it was simply unbelievable! Chapter 636 - 636 Anger; Revenge! 636 anger; revenge! even for some super internet celebrities, 2.2 million online users was a very impressive number. what was more, xia xue was not a super internet celebrity. in fact, she was not even a professional streamer. she only broadcasted in her free time after school and holidays. under such circumstances, getting 2.2 million viewers was even more impressive. at this moment, countless comments filled the live broadcast room. the person in my heart: [i¡¯ve learned a lot today.] i¡¯m at home: [imperial hotel is the greatest of all time.] yours is mine: [so, has anyone found out who that young man is?] clenching fist: [ah, xia xue finally turned the camera over.] nothing is difficult in the world: [xia xue, you¡¯re so beautiful.]] ¡­ seeing this, xia xue smiled and said, ¡°thank you for your praise.¡± after the audience heard xia xue¡¯s voice, there were even more comments. low-key not bro: [xia xue, you finally spoke. why didn¡¯t you stay at the imperial hotel just now?] ???: [i like xiao xue very much, but this time, i also think that xiao xue should¡¯ve stayed.] zhao xx: [xiao xue, do you know how much that meal just cost? at least 100,000 world coins!] guardian: [100,000 world coins? that car just now cost 30 million world coins!] long-legged beauty: [xia xue missed a chance to turn into a princess. moreover, that guy is so handsome!] lang lang: [what a pity, what a pity.] words from the roadside: [xia xue, how do you know that young master? please introduce me!] who am i: [yeah, who is that young master? introduce him to me. i¡¯ve never seen such a handsome person.] ¡­ xia xue looked at the comments and was slightly stunned. then, she coughed lightly and said, ¡°uhh¡­ it¡¯s getting late. today¡¯s live broadcast ends here. thank you for your time. see you next time.¡± qing tian: [don¡¯t go offline!] song: [xia xue, please continue the live broadcast.] lights of ten thousand families: [tell me who that young man is before you go offline.] ¡­ however, xia xue did not seem to see the comments and directly closed the live broadcast room. she turned around and looked at the straight road. lin fan¡¯s tall and handsome figure appeared in her mind. yes, he was very handsome. after a while, xia xue shook her head hard. she finally withdrew her thoughts and walked toward jiangbei university. ¡­. in jiangbei, there was a european-style castle that occupied an area of about 80,000 square meters. ordinary people were not allowed to approach at all. they did not know who built this castle and thought it was an unopened scenic spot. however, some of the upper echelons knew that this castle belonged to the wang family. it was said that the wang family had a history of nearly a thousand years. they had endless wealth and were one of the few families that controlled mines. everyone in this castle, be it servants or masters¡­ their lives were comfortable and leisurely. this was the power that a powerful foundation and strength gave them. however, today, the entire castle was filled with a different kind of urgency. at this moment, the current head of the wang family, wang hao, the previous heads, wang ziyun, wang yue, wang qi, and many other core members of the wang family were gathered. there were six generations of the family present! a thousand years ago, it was very rare for four generations to live under the same roof. however, after a thousand years, both the environment and medical technology had greatly improved, which greatly increased the lifespan of people. now, four generations living together had become a common phenomenon, and five generations living together was also considered normal. as for the wang family, which had endless wealth and power, they had reached the point where six generations were under the same roof. wang qi said in a slightly hoarse voice, ¡°is everyone here?¡± wang hao, who was at the side, hunched over and said, ¡°everyone is here.¡± ¡°remember, when you see mr. lin tomorrow, we must be respectful!¡± wang qi glanced around and said. ¡°yes, sir!¡± everyone said in unison. at this moment, wang hao¡¯s phone rang. ¡°grandpa, mr. lin seems to have appeared on a live broadcast,¡± wang hao said anxiously. ¡°live broadcast?¡± wang qi was puzzled. ¡°let¡¯s take a look.¡± ¡°alright,¡± wang hao said. then, a high-definition 3d projection appeared in the spacious hall. ¡°i¡¯ll take out twice the money to buy the deep sea golden gall and the giant scorpion you ordered. in addition, i¡¯ll offer another 100,000 world coins for your private room. how about it?¡± ¡­ ¡°brat, how dare you?!¡± ¡­ ¡°general manager wang, how will your hotel handle this matter?!¡± ¡­ seeing this¡­ wang qi, who had always been calm and collected, suddenly showed a cold gaze as he said sternly, ¡°impudent!¡± his voice was not loud. however, it made everyone present shiver in fear. the temperature of the entire hall seemed to drop to freezing point in an instant. ¡°he insulted mr. lin and deserves to be exterminated!¡± ¡­ almost at the same time, the direct descendants of the ancient zhang family, the ancient ran family, and the ancient ma family were also gathered together. they watched the same live broadcast. ¡­ on the other hand, in the fang family. fang wenjie lay on lifelessly, unable to move at all. li weiwen, who had heavy makeup on, looked at his pitiful appearance and shouted, ¡°who is it? son, who beat you up like this?¡± fang wenjie said with difficulty, ¡°it¡¯s the wang family.¡± at this moment, patriarch fang lei walked in. ¡°fang lei, what are you still doing here?¡± li weiwen immediately cried. ¡°why aren¡¯t you taking revenge for your son? look at how badly he¡¯s been beaten!¡± at this moment, fang lei¡¯s expression was extremely ugly. firstly, fang lei only had one son. he usually doted on fang wenjie very much and had never been willing to hit him. but now, his legs had been broken! secondly, he knew what had happened. his son had already reported his name, but in the end, his legs were still broken. this was twice the humiliation, and it even happened in public. how hateful! ¡°don¡¯t worry, i¡¯ll definitely make them pay the heaviest price!¡± fang lei said. ¡°the imperial hotel? humph!¡± as he spoke, he picked up his foldable phone and dialed a number. however, no one picked up the phone after a long time. fang lei could not help but frown. at this moment, the call was returned. before fang lei could speak, an extremely urgent voice sounded from inside. ¡°president fang, bad news. dafang group¡¯s shares have suddenly been sold off in large quantities. the share price has already plunged by 20%! ¡°in addition, shunli express, wanjia group, hengfeng group¡­ all of them have severed their cooperative relations with us. ¡°just now¡­ the world bank informed us that they¡¯ll stop lending us money. ¡°the xia alliance also wants to investigate our taxes. president fang, think of a solution! i¡¯ll hang up first.¡± Chapter 637 - 637 Meeting Wang Fengyi; Unsealing! 637 meeting wang fengyi; unsealing! the share price plunged by 20%! shunli express, wanjia group, hengfeng group¡­ these were all very large enterprises, and many of them had close cooperative relations with dafang group. now, they had all canceled their cooperation? this was definitely not a small loss for the dafang group. in fact, the loss was much greater than what it appeared to be on the surface. with so many big companies breaking off their cooperation at the same time, it might cause some kind of chain reaction. this was the most terrifying thing. the world bank had also stopped lending them money! although dafang group had a huge business, its cash flow was still relatively limited. most of the raw materials, labor, bases, and so on were all dependent on the world bank¡¯s huge loans. now, the world bank had suddenly stopped lending them money. it was as if the dafang group had been strangled by the neck, making them completely unable to breathe. the company¡¯s taxes would also be investigated. a thorough investigation of taxes was a very normal thing to do. this was the law that all companies should abide by. there would be a review at least once a year. in the past, fang lei did not pay much attention to it. but today, he was extremely flustered. this was because there was indeed a problem with his taxes, a deeply hidden problem. fang lei had a very bad feeling. perhaps, they would find something wrong after checking. and once the problem was discovered, then¡­ a thin layer of sweat gradually appeared on fang lei¡¯s forehead. then, he quickly made another call. a moment later, the call was finally connected. ¡°boss he¡­¡± fang lei said. however, before he could finish, a low voice sounded from the other end. ¡°fang lei, what have you done?¡± ¡°damn it! now, the wang family, the ancient zhang family, the richest ma family, and the giant ran family¡­ have all issued a ban on you! ¡°in this kind of situation, you still called me! are you trying to drag me down with you?¡± after saying that, he abruptly hung up the phone. a hurried busy tone echoed in fang lei¡¯s ears. he was completely stunned. the wang family, the zhang family, the ma family, and the ran family¡­ which one of them was not a terrifying existence like a giant? they were all targets that he looked up to. in the end, they all issued a ban on him? fang lei¡¯s face turned pale. he was panicking and terrified to the extreme. it was over! dafang group was finished! the fang family was finished! but why?! at this moment, li weiwen shouted, ¡°what¡¯s going on? say something! when will you avenge your son? you¡¯ve been standing there like a fool!¡± revenge for his son? son? imperial hotel? that young man? at this moment, fang lei suddenly connected everything together. it was him! it was him! all of this was caused by him! fang lei¡¯s entire body was burning with rage at the thought of this. ¡°what are you shouting for?¡± fang lei shouted sternly. ¡°it¡¯s all your fault for spoiling him like this!¡± then, he kicked fang wenjie in the stomach and shouted, ¡°bastard!¡± ¡°ah!¡± immediately, a series of miserable howls rang out in the luxurious villa. ¡­ lin fan was completely oblivious to all of this. at this moment, he had already arrived at the luxurious presidential suite of the imperial hotel. taking advantage of the time when the bathtub was filling up with hot water, he moved his mind slightly and the space shook. in the next moment, lin fan appeared at jiangbei university. at this moment, a black watch was shining. when lin fan appeared, the black watch let out a cheerful sound. ¡°master, i finally get to see you again.¡± it was the super smart watch little white. ¡°sorry for the long wait,¡± said lin fan. as soon as he finished speaking, lin fan picked up little white and put it back on his wrist. then, the surrounding space shook slightly. in the next moment, lin fan returned to the luxurious presidential suite of the imperial hotel. at this moment¡­ the spacious bathtub was filled with water. the air was filled with a pleasant fragrance. lin fan took off his clothes and lay in the bathtub. his face revealed a relaxed and content expression that had not been seen in a long time. most people would only stay in the bathtub for half an hour at most. after half an hour, their skin would wrinkle or the hot water would turn cold. however, lin fan¡¯s physique was far superior to normal people. naturally, he was not worried about his skin getting wrinkled. moreover, he also had perfect water control technique. there was no need to worry about the hot water becoming cold either. that was because lin fan had perfect fire control technique. with a single thought, he could heat the water to any temperature. lin fan stayed in the bathtub for a full two hours before he slowly climbed out. then, he lay down on the soft bed that he had not seen for a long time and fell asleep. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, it was the second day. when lin fan pushed open the door of the luxurious suite, there was already a waiter waiting at the door. ¡°mr. lin, do you wish to have breakfast now?¡± he asked respectfully.¡± ¡°yes,¡± lin fan said. ¡°got it,¡± the waiter said. not long after, flying gold sparrow bun, pan-fried red beef, golden pancake, pearl meat, and silky soup were served¡­ all the food was made from exotic beasts and plants. coupled with the meticulous cooking of top-notch chefs, every dish was incomparably delicious. after eating, lin fan nodded his head in satisfaction and said, ¡°not bad.¡± at this moment, someone knocked on the door. ¡°come in,¡± lin fan said. then, wang zhihai, wang qianjin, wang you, and the others all bowed and walked in respectfully.

(2) ¡°hello, mr. lin.¡± lin fan nodded. ¡°yes, hello.¡± ¡°are you satisfied with this place?¡± wang zhihai asked. ¡°the food, the environment, and the decorations are all good,¡± lin fan said. wang zhihai, as the old head of the wang family, had heard countless flattering words in his life. but now, after hearing lin fan, who looked like a young man in his 20s, give a few simple words of praise, his entire face turned red. ¡°mr. lin, thank you for your praise,¡± wang zhihai said excitedly. ¡°our wang family has always adhered to the teachings of our ancestors and worked hard to build the imperial hotel into a more popular and high-end hotel¡­ in this way, we could welcome your return with a better appearance. ¡°now that i have your approval, it¡¯s really, really great!¡± wang zhihai¡¯s words were very sincere. it could even be said that they came from the bottom of his heart. lin fan nodded his head. then, the two of them had a short conversation about the situation at the imperial hotel. at this moment, wang zhihai seemed to have thought of something and said, ¡°the reason why our imperial hotel could reach its current state was entirely due to your trust in our wang family, as well as the planning and implementation of our ancestor, wang fengyi¡­ ¡°wang fengyi was always worried about you. when his life was about to end, he sealed himself in a hibernation chamber and left a will. only when you appeared could the hibernation chamber be opened¡­ i wonder, are you willing to meet wang fengyi?¡± ¡­ speaking of wang fengyi, lin fan could not help but think of that man who was always smiling, capable, and efficient. frozen in a hibernation chamber? from a certain perspective, wang fengyi was the first old friend he had heard of after a thousand years. lin fan nodded. ¡°alright, let¡¯s go and meet him.¡± ¡°thank you, mr. lin,¡± wang haizhi said happily. when lin fan arrived at the entrance of the imperial hotel, there was a long line of luxurious hover cars waiting outside. the passersby in the distance all stopped and looked at him, sighing from time to time. lin fan boarded the hover car at the front. the car drove through a winding road, a beautiful path lined with greenery, and a clear bridge over the river. finally, he arrived in front of an extremely spacious manor with beautiful scenery. this was the wang family¡¯s courtyard. under the introduction of wang zhihai, wang qianjin, wang you, and the others, lin fan moved forward. a moment later, lin fan arrived at a steel laboratory underneath the courtyard. in front of the laboratory door, there were a few big words¡ª¡¯hibernation chamber 0¡ä. yesterday, lin fan had learned from the super smart watch that 50 years after he touched the ball of light, a scientist named felian had invented a machine called the hibernation chamber. this kind of machine had the special ability to freeze a person and could suspend all life activities in the human body. obviously, wang zhihai had chosen this method. however, later research found that this method of freezing had a huge side effect. that was, once the human was thawed, the organs and body of the human body would not be able to withstand it. the individual would die in a very short period of time. because of this flaw, the hibernation chamber technology was later banned from use worldwide. at this moment, two medical staff in protective clothing were standing in front of the door. when they saw wang haizhi and the others, they greeted them one after another, ¡°hello, mr. wang.¡± it was very simple to greet the wang family. they directly addressed all of them as mr. wang. the women were directly addressed as madam wang. they could not go wrong by doing this. ¡°open it.¡± wang haizhi nodded. ¡°yes,¡± the two of them responded. the door slowly opened, and a bone-piercing chill spread out, making people involuntarily shiver. at this moment, an old man with white hair, age spots all over his face, and no teeth in his mouth was frozen in a transparent container without moving. even though he was already very old, lin fan could still recognize him easily. that was wang fengyi. when wang haizhi saw wang fengyi, his face could not help but reveal a hint of excitement. this was his ancestor, the great existence who had led the wang family to glory. everyone in the wang family had grown up listening to his deeds, and there was almost no one who did not admire him. now, he could see the man with his own eyes. they might even be able to exchange a few words. how could wang haizhi not be excited? after a while, wang haizhi suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked respectfully, ¡°mr. lin, what do you think of the idea of unfreezing him now?¡± when he said this, wang haizhi¡¯s face revealed a touch of sorrow. it was because once wang fengyi was unfrozen, he would soon die for good. ¡°okay, let¡¯s do it.¡± lin fan nodded. his expression and tone were very calm. it was as if he did not know the consequences of unfreezing wang fengyi. with a soft sound, the frozen container began to melt quickly. after about 30 minutes, it turned into a green solution. then, wang fengyi, who had a head full of white hair, suddenly opened his eyes and popped his head out of the solution. he lay beside the container and panted heavily, as if he could die at any moment. about a minute later, wang fengyi finally caught his breath. he used his turbid eyes to scan his surroundings. soon, his gaze landed on lin fan. instantly, wang fengyi became extremely excited and shouted, ¡°m-mr. lin, you¡¯re back! ¡°i knew it. i knew you¡¯d definitely come back.¡± perhaps it was because he was too excited or because of the hibernation chamber¡¯s side effects, wang fengyi suddenly could not breathe. his entire face was deathly pale, as if he would faint at any moment. seeing this¡­ ¡°doctor!¡± wang haizhi shouted anxiously. ¡°doctor, hurry up!¡± lin fan said, ¡°don¡¯t worry.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, lin fan waved his hand casually. a gentle green light spread out and instantly enveloped wang fengyi. [skill: perfect radiance of life.] soon, wang fengyi regained his breathing. his originally sallow face had an additional tinge of red. then, wang fengyi¡¯s white hair started to turn black. immediately after, his skinny body plumped up. when wang fengyi entered the hibernation chamber, he was already a 110-year-old man. however, at this moment, he looked like a young man in his 40s. wang haizhi, who was beside him, saw everything. his eyes widened in disbelief. with just a raise of lin fan¡¯s hand, lin fan could heal the person who walked out of the hibernation chamber and make him return to his youth! this¡­ what kind of power was this? it was a miracle! in the past, wang haizhi had often heard of lin fan¡¯s legends. however, there were no videos or images of lin fan. therefore, wang haizhi only treated them as legends and did not take them to heart. at this moment, he suddenly felt¡­ perhaps, those were not legends at all but things that really happened! ¡­ as for lin fan, his expression was still as calm as ever. wang fengyi looked at his hands that had become stronger and said excitedly, ¡°thank you, mr. lin. thank you!¡± clearly, he knew that this was lin fan¡¯s doing. only lin fan could possess such a powerful ability. lin fan waved his hand and said, ¡°it¡¯s rare to see a friend from back then. i¡¯m just helping out a little. ¡°this is definitely a small favor in your eyes, but it saved my life!¡± wang fengyi said. ¡°i don¡¯t know how to thank you, but i¡¯ll definitely serve you well like i did back then!¡± his tone was extremely serious and sincere. obviously, those were his true thoughts. however, lin fan did not care too much about it. he said, ¡°oh right, this is wang haizhi, the grandfather of the current general manager of the imperial hotel.¡± when wang haizhi heard lin fan¡¯s words, he finally recovered from his shock. ¡°wang haizhi, kneel down and kowtow to your ancestor!¡± he said excitedly. a white-haired old man kowtowed to a middle-aged man with black hair and called him his ancestor¡­ this scene was really strange. however, everyone present felt that it was only natural. Chapter 639 - 639 With Lin Fan as the Master; Xia Xue Does a Live Broadcast Again! 639 with lin fan as the master; xia xue does a live broadcast again! in the wang family¡¯s history, wang fengyi was the creator of the wang family¡¯s glory and the one who paved the future! he was the soul of the entire wang family! at this moment¡­ wang fengyi was also sizing up wang zhihai. he nodded slightly and said, ¡°what era is it now?¡± ¡°ancestor, today is august 27th, 3020,¡± wang zhihai hurriedly said. ¡°year 3020. in the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed.¡± ¡°wang zhihai, you have to remember this!¡± wang fengyi said solemnly. ¡°the imperial hotel and the entire wang family were able to develop to their current state because of mr. lin! ¡°everything in the wang family belongs to mr. lin. all members of the wang family must obey mr. lin¡¯s orders and serve mr. lin as their master!¡± ¡°yes!¡± wang zhihai replied respectfully. lin fan did not mind the wang family¡¯s words at all. as for the order, he did not take it to heart. that was because with lin fan¡¯s strength and power, he could easily get whatever he wanted. today, the entire wang manor was decorated with lanterns and streamers. it was filled with joy. an incomparably luxurious banquet was held, and the atmosphere was extremely warm. it was because lin fan, the head of the wang family, and wang fengyi, the ancestor of the wang family, were all present! ¡­ in the blink of an eye, it was the second day. after returning from the imperial hotel the day before yesterday, lin fan¡¯s figure kept appearing in xia xue¡¯s mind for some reason. lin fan¡¯s handsome face, his strong body, every word he said, and every action he made¡­ as a result, xia xue tossed and turned all night. she was unable to sleep. the next day, she lay in bed for an entire day before she regained some of her energy. after xia xue had breakfast, she casually strolled around. after crossing the wide road and luxurious streets, she arrived at the downtown area. neon lights flashed, and laughter resounded. the place was filled with the smell of fireworks. when xia xue gently sniffed, she suddenly smelled a tempting fragrance. she looked ahead and saw a warm and trendy shop not far away¡ªyuesse snow tea. in front of the shop, there was a long line of nearly a hundred people. even though the queue was long, no one chose to leave. in fact, there was even an endless stream of people coming to join the queue. this was the charm of yuesse snow tea¡¯s unique taste! in today¡¯s world, many things such as food and tea could be produced by machines and androids. however, there were also a few unique products that required manual production. yuesse snow tea was one of them. xia xue murmured, ¡°how did i come here? it seems that there are quite a number of people who want to drink yuesse snow tea. i¡¯ll film myself drinking it for them.¡± while talking, xia xue also joined the queue. after thinking for a moment, she took out the foldable display and turned on the camera. after a while, xia xue¡¯s delicate face appeared in the live broadcast room. the number of viewers rose rapidly, and the comments kept appearing. divine weapon descends: [xia xue is finally streaming again.] flower: [xia xue is still as beautiful as before!] high spirits: [xia xue, tell me who mr. lin is.] moon in water: [xia xue, do you know? dafang group had already collapsed. was this done by mr. lin¡¯s family? is he that strong?] han: [f*ck! dafang group collapsed?] my heart: [what dafang group? what mr. lin? also, xia xue, how did you suddenly become so popular? did i miss something?] ¡­ in fact, it was not just the audience who were surprised but xia xue too. her beautiful eyes were wide open, and her face was filled with disbelief. she was studying at jiangbei university, so she had naturally heard of dafang group. it was a large group that focused on electronics, tourism, chemicals, culture, entertainment, and many other industries. its market value even exceeded ten billion world coins! in the end, it collapsed? in just two short days, it collapsed? if this was really lin fan¡¯s doing, then¡­ then what was his identity? suddenly, lin fan¡¯s handsome figure appeared very clearly in xia xue¡¯s mind. moreover, lin fan¡¯s figure was getting bigger and bigger! it bloomed with an incomparably dazzling light! at this time, a slightly impatient voice came from behind xia xue. ¡°those in front, hurry up and walk!¡± it turned out that xia xue had been in a daze for too long, and there was already a big gap between her and the person in front. xia xue reacted and said, ¡°i-i¡¯m sorry.¡± she quickly took a few steps forward and said to the camera, ¡°welcome to xia xue¡¯s live broadcast room. ¡°last time, i tried the delicacies of the imperial hotel on behalf of everyone. ¡°i have to say, the imperial hotel is indeed a world-renowned nine-star hotel. the interior is naturally high-end and luxurious to the extreme¡­ ¡°the private room on the 365th floor makes people feel like they¡¯re in a palace in the clouds. standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, you can easily take in the beautiful scenery of jiangbei! ¡°as for the delicacies of the imperial hotel, every dish tastes excellent and distinct. the food¡¯s so delicious that i almost bit my own tongue¡­¡± xia xue could not help but swallow her saliva as she spoke. obviously, she was thinking about the delicious food at the imperial hotel again. at this moment, a different voice sounded behind her. ¡°ha! trying the delicacies of the imperial hotel in a private room on the 365th floor? you make it sound like it¡¯s real. there should be a limit to bragging.¡± ¡­ in the live broadcast room¡­ deep love: [who¡¯s talking?] wind: [how annoying.] da xiong: [he was so fierce just now, and now he¡¯s saying such things! how infuriating!] crescent moon: [how rude! besides, what does it have to do with him whether others went to eat there or not?] who are you:[ i haven¡¯t encountered this kind of person. otherwise, i would¡¯ve taught him a lesson!] ¡­ not only was the audience unhappy, but xia xue was also a little unhappy. she slowly turned around and said in a somewhat impolite tone, ¡°i¡¯m just talking about the imperial hotel. i shouldn¡¯t have disturbed you, right?¡± it was a man with a pointy mouth and ape-like cheeks. he wore a checkered shirt. when he saw xia xue¡¯s face, his already small eyes narrowed into a thin line. the monkey-faced man chuckled. ¡°actually, if you really want to go to the imperial hotel, i can take you there. ¡°by the way, i forgot to introduce myself. my name is xiong kai. my father is xiong anqing, the department manager of the imperial hotel. ¡°don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s absolutely easy for me to bring you in. it¡¯s not even difficult to eat inside.¡± as xiong kai spoke, he could not help but raise his neck. it was as if he had revealed his identity as the crown prince. now, he was just waiting for xia xue to have stars in her eyes and start to worship him. Chapter 640 - 640 Staff Delivers Tea; Apologizes! 640 staff delivers tea; apologizes! some people were just like that. they often thought that they were superior. little did the man know that his actions were just a joke in the eyes of many people. xia xue frowned slightly. ¡°it has nothing to do with you whether i¡¯ve been to the imperial hotel or not. in addition, if i want to go, i¡¯ll go myself!¡± ¡°don¡¯t be so quick to reject me so.¡± xiong kai chuckled and said, ¡°why don¡¯t exchange contact information first and get to know each other better in the future?¡± after that, xiong kai reached out to take xia xue¡¯s phone. ¡°what are you doing?¡± xia xue shouted. as soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and swatted xiong kai¡¯s arm away, which made a clear sound. ¡°if you continue acting like this, i¡¯ll call the police!¡± xiong kai¡¯s expression turned extremely ugly. she hit his arm and even said she was going to call the police? he seemed to feel that he had been greatly provoked and mocked her, ¡°you said you went to the 365th floor of the imperial hotel for dinner? who do you think you are? ever since the establishment of the imperial hotel, it has never entertained anyone on the 365th floor! ¡°and if you really went to the 365th floor of the imperial hotel to eat, why would you be lining up here to buy yuesse snow tea? the employees will send the drinks directly to you!¡± after that, xiong kai sneered at xia xue. he knew that xia xue seemed to be broadcasting live. now, there should be some audience members. xiong kai wanted to expose xia xue in public! since he could not get her, she had to be punished! at this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded from the side. ¡°you¡¯re right. yuesse snow tea should send the drinks over.¡± xiong kai and xia xue heard this and turned to look. they saw a tall and handsome figure appear beside them. it was lin fan! for some reason, xia xue, who was originally a little angry, felt her anger instantly dissipate when she saw lin fan. what replaced it was happiness, joy, and excitement! lin fan smiled at xia xue and asked, ¡°xia xue, what drink do you want to get?¡± xia xue was a little stunned. ¡°uh¡­ ice¡­ ice queen.¡± then, lin fan raised his super smart watch and said, ¡°get me two cups of ice queen.¡± ¡°yes, master!¡± the super smart watch made a crisp sound. 1,000 years ago, lin fan never took the initiative to talk to the super smart watch in front of others. however, 1,000 years later, not to mention smart watches, even robots could be seen everywhere. naturally, there was no need to hide from others. after a while, three slender women wearing the custom-made uniforms of yuesse snow tea walked over with brisk steps. when they arrived in front of lin fan, they all bowed and said respectfully, ¡°hello, mr. lin. here are two cups of ice queen for you.¡± this scene made xia xue and xiong kai, as well as everyone in the queue, open their mouths wide in disbelief. one had to know that this was yuesse snow tea! even some bosses with a net worth of more than ten million had to queue up in advance if they wanted to have a sip of a drink from yuesse snow tea. when had they ever seen yuesse snow tea¡¯s staff personally deliver the drinks to them? furthermore, three employees carried the drinks over and served them to a person with such respectful attitudes. lin fan did not mind at all. he took a cup and said, ¡°the other cup is for this lady.¡± thus, the staff of yuesse snow tea handed the other cup to xia xue. xia xue was stunned for a while before she slowly reached out and said, ¡°thank¡­ thank you.¡± the staff of yuesse snow tea, who were standing at the front, said, ¡°you¡¯re welcome. it¡¯s our honor to make drinks for you.¡± honor? that was right! it was an honor! because they had just received a call from the headquarters and knew that this young mr. lin was the real boss of yuesse snow tea! if this beauty was with mr. lin, even if they were just ordinary friends, it was definitely worth it for them to curry favor with her. if she was mr. lin¡¯s girlfriend¡­ thinking of this, the staff became even more respectful. then, lin fan looked at xiong kai again and said, ¡°your father is xiong anqing, a manager of the imperial hotel?¡± xiong kai opened his mouth, but no words came out. lin fan did not ask him any more questions. he raised his super smart watch and said, ¡°verify the information.¡± the super smart watch did not take long at all and said directly, ¡°yes, his father, xiong anqing, was promoted to a manager of the imperial hotel two months ago.¡± ¡°fire him,¡± lin fan said. ¡°yes, master,¡± the super smart watch said. xiong kai seemed to have finally reacted and said, ¡°you¡­ you¡¯re joking, right?¡± at this moment, xiong kai¡¯s phone suddenly rang. he looked at the caller id. for some reason, he suddenly had a very bad feeling. he hesitated for a long time before he finally reached out with trembling fingers and pressed the answer button. the next moment, a 3d projection of a bald man in a white shirt appeared in front of him. the bald man said hysterically, ¡°xiong kai, tell me, what the hell did you do?¡± xiong kai stammered, ¡°i¡­ i didn¡¯t do anything.¡± ¡°you didn¡¯t do anything?¡± the bald man shouted. ¡°i¡¯m telling you, the general manager just called me personally to tell me that i¡¯m fired! ¡°that¡¯s the general manager of the imperial hotel! i¡¯ve only seen him from afar a few times! ¡°in the end, he called me personally! ¡°do you know how much i paid to become a department manager?!¡± the bald man sputtered out saliva while talking, his entire face red with anger. obviously, he was extremely angry. ¡°i¡¯ll deal with you later, you bastard!¡± after saying this, the bald man hung up the phone. xiong kai¡¯s face was deathly pale. his father¡¯s job at the imperial hotel was gone! the reason why he was able to live so comfortably was entirely because of his father¡¯s high salary. what should he do in the future? he still had a mortgage, a car loan, and a credit card¡­ in addition, his father was going to teach him a lesson later¡­ he would definitely be very miserable¡­ thinking of this, xiong kai¡¯s face turned even paler. then, he seemed to have thought of something and turned his gaze to lin fan. xiong kai bent his legs and knelt on the ground. he kowtowed to lin fan and shouted, ¡°i¡¯m sorry, i¡¯m sorry¡­ i was blind just now. i beg you, please forgive me¡­ please, let me go¡­ ¡°my father can¡¯t give up his job at the imperial hotel¡­¡± however, no matter how xiong kai kowtowed and apologized, lin fan¡¯s expression did not change at all. then, xiong kai kowtowed to xia xue. ¡°i beg you, let me go. i¡¯ll kowtow to you, i¡¯ll kowtow to you¡­¡± Chapter 641 - 641 Xia Xue; Banquet! 641 xia xue; banquet! xiong kai¡¯s face was covered in snot and tears. he looked extremely miserable and pitiful. he was even banging his head on the ground. seeing this¡­ xia xue could not help but be at a loss. she had never encountered such a thing and quickly looked at lin fan for help. lin fan gently patted xia xue¡¯s slender shoulder and said, ¡°i¡¯ve bought the milk tea. let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°ah¡­ ah¡­ alright,¡± xia xue replied. xiong kai heard this and hurriedly said, ¡°i beg you, please spare me¡­¡± as he spoke, he moved to hug lin fan¡¯s and xia xue¡¯s feet. at this moment, lin fan swept his gaze over coldly. this sweep seemed to have completely frozen xiong kai, making him not dare to move at all. he even stopped breathing. therefore, lin fan and xia xue continued to walk forward. ¡­ in the live broadcast room¡­. the dense barrage of comments kept rolling. world¡¯s best: [so cool!] rain continues: [he¡¯s right. yuesse snow tea should indeed send the drinks over! he even got someone fired! he¡¯s so handsome, just like the male lead in those movies!] blooming flowers: [not only is he handsome, but he¡¯s also domineering! prince charming! my prince charming!] ai si: [did you see the way he glanced at xiong kai? it scared xiong kai silly. it¡¯s so awesome!] xue feng: [it¡¯s understandable that the imperial hotel fired xiong anqing because the general manager of the imperial hotel and the direct descendants of the wang family are all very respectful to lin fan. perhaps the imperial hotel is indebted to lin fan¡¯s family or they have shares in the imperial hotel. [but why did the staff of yuesse snow tea bring over two cups of ice queen? [could it be that yuesse snow tea is also indebted to lin fan¡¯s family? or do they have shares?] flourish but not substantial: [owns shares of imperial hotel and yuesse snow tea at the same time? that shouldn¡¯t be possible, right?] ¡­ impossible? how would they know that lin fan did not just own the shares of imperial hotel and yuesse snow tea? the entire imperial hotel and yuesse snow tea belonged to lin fan! needless to say, the imperial hotel had belonged to lin fan a thousand years ago. as for yuesse snow tea, it was formed by the reorganization of two beverage companies, cha yue and snow tea. lin fan had obtained 51% of cha yue¡¯s shares a long time ago. over the years, under the operation of the super smart watch, he directly obtained all the shares. later on, snow tea was acquired. that was how yuesse snow tea was established and became famous around the world. ¡­ at this moment, lin fan and xia xue were walking on the winding road. perhaps it was because the sun was too hot or lin fan¡¯s masculine aura was too strong, xia xue¡¯s entire pretty face was still red. at this moment, lin fan said, ¡°if you don¡¯t drink it now, it won¡¯t taste good anymore.¡± xia xue seemed to just remember that she still had a drink in her hand. she quickly picked it up. she looked at the little snowman on top of the drink and the snowflakes that were slowly melting like butter. she praised sincerely, ¡°it¡¯s so beautiful!¡± as she spoke, xia xue¡¯s beautiful eyes became bright. ¡°you like snow?¡± lin fan asked. xia xue said, ¡°yes, it¡¯s so pretty when the snowflakes are falling slowly. moreover, we can have snowball fights and build snowmen when it snows. it¡¯s so fun!¡± when xia xue spoke, the corner of her mouth could not help but rise slightly, as if she was recalling the happy times when it snowed. however, soon, xia xue said, ¡°unfortunately, it hasn¡¯t snowed in jiangbei for many years.¡± as soon as she finished speaking, she slowly put the straw into the cup and sucked gently. she praised, ¡°delicious!¡± at this moment, the scorching weather suddenly turned gloomy. the temperature suddenly dropped. then, snowflakes that looked like goose feathers started to fall. this scene shocked everyone in jiangbei. xia xue was stunned for a moment, and then she shouted excitedly, ¡°it¡¯s snowing! ¡°it¡¯s snowing! it¡¯s really snowing!¡± as she spoke, she was like a child who had just eaten candy. she jumped and danced, spinning around. more and more snowflakes fell on the ground, the cars by the roadside, the roofs in the distance, as well as the surrounding trees¡­ soon, everything was wrapped in a layer of white. it was very beautiful. xia xue hurriedly bent down and quickly made a beautiful snowman on the spot. she looked at the adorable snowman and smiled. ¡­ in the live broadcast room. countless bullet comments were rolling rapidly. beggar: [f*ck! am i seeing things? is it snowing? is it snowing in jiangbei? furthermore, it¡¯s snowing in august?] nameless person: [cany anyone from jiangbei say something? could this be edited?] chen xiao: [it¡¯s true! it¡¯s really snowing in jiangbei! it¡¯s snowing heavily! i¡¯m going to build a snowman. i¡¯ve never seen such heavy snow in jiangbei. it¡¯s so cool!] prosperity: [this doesn¡¯t make sense! it doesn¡¯t adhere to science!] keeping a dream: [science? what¡¯s science¡¯s place in this world? don¡¯t you know about special ability users?] the person in my heart: [do you think the heavy snow in jiangbei is caused by a special ability user? besides, xia xue had just said that she liked snow, and it immediately snowed. could it be that mr. lin¡¯s doing?] listen to jun: [stop joking! this time, the snow in jiangbei covers the entire city! if it was really done by a special ability user, then how strong are they? alright, even if there was such a powerful person, they should at least be 40 years old. otherwise, how could they have accumulated such a powerful ability?] stone man: [i agree that this isn¡¯t the work of a special ability user. this should just be an abnormal phenomenon. however, we should wait for the official announcement.] Chapter 642 - 642 Xia Xue; Banquet!

(2) ¡­ how would they know that this was lin fan¡¯s doing? one had to know¡­ right now, lin fan possessed perfect ice manipulation skill and perfect water manipulation skill, as well as a massive amount of energy. it was not difficult for lin fan to make the entire world snow, let alone jiangbei alone. ¡­ on the other hand, the xia officials had also noticed the heavy snow in jiangbei. they held a small emergency meeting. several men and women with extraordinary auras gathered. among them, the man sitting at the front let out a muffled sound. ¡°what¡¯s with the heavy snow in jiangbei?¡± sitting in the middle was a woman wearing red-rimmed glasses. her hands were jumping rapidly on the keyboard. soon, she said, ¡°a large area of cold air suddenly condensed at the location of the rain clouds, forming heavy snow.¡± as she spoke, a 3d projection of a simulated snowfall appeared on the scene. ¡°if it¡¯s a special ability user, what level will it take to do it?¡± asked the man in the front seat. the woman pushed her red-rimmed glasses up her nose bridge and said, ¡°sss-rank!¡± ¡°were there any sss-rank special ability users in jiangbei at that time?¡± the man asked. ¡°all the known sss-rank aptitude users weren¡¯t in jiangbei at that time,¡± the woman replied. the man thought for a moment and said, ¡°send out an announcement. the snow in jiangbei is a rare natural phenomenon.¡± the heavy snow in the north of the yangtze river had settled down! not long after, xia daily published a piece of news. [today, a rare phenomenon occurred in jiangbei city. in the heat of august, snow fell. it¡¯s very strange. [please be reminded that when enjoying the snow scenery and playing with the snow, you should also take precautions such as keeping warm to avoid fever and catching a cold. snow scenery.jpg, snow scenery.jpg, snow scenery.jpg] then, some experts followed suit and discussed the phenomenon, conditions, and probability of cold air gathering. they even mentioned the specific reason for the cold air gathering in jiangbei. it had to be said that these people really spewed some stuff just to gain traffic and attention. the effect was also quite good. although many people did not quite understand what they meant, they just thought that the experts were knowledgeable and capable! therefore, they all paid attention and supported them. ¡­ lin fan did not care about these things at all. he just silently watched xia xue play with the snow and build a snowman. he was also very happy. at this moment, a magnetic voice suddenly sounded not far away. ¡°xia xue, are you playing with the snow here?¡± after xia xue heard the voice, she turned around and looked over. a silver-white hover car was parked beside them, and inside it sat an oval-faced woman in a long gauze dress. xia xue smiled. ¡°it¡¯s rare for snow to fall in jiangbei.¡± ¡°i don¡¯t like snow. it¡¯s too cold!¡± what was going on today? it was august, but it was snowing so heavily. ¡°aren¡¯t you going to change? it won¡¯t be long before the banquet begins.¡± xia xue was slightly stunned. banquet? that was right! there was a grand banquet for the student council officers at jiangbei university today. she had actually forgotten about it. ¡°by the way, have you found a male partner? if not, why don¡¯t we let chen minghe join us? ¡°he¡¯s handsome and quite capable¡­¡± xia xue quickly interrupted, ¡°weiya, thank you for your kindness. but i¡¯ve already found a partner. ¡°let me introduce you. this is lin fan.¡± then, xia xue threw a pleading look at lin fan. xia xue had a good impression of lin fan. firstly, he was handsome. in addition, for some reason, he gave xia xue a very special sense of security. as for chen ming, she had a bad impression of him. he was cunning and had ulterior motives about her. ¡­ xia xue did not need to beg lin fan to be her companion for a banquet. lin fan was extremely happy. he smiled and said, ¡°hello, weiya. i¡¯m lin fan, xia xue¡¯s dance partner tonight.¡± dai weiya sized lin fan up. her first impression was that he was so handsome and tall! a hint of jealousy crept into her heart. after a while, she said, ¡°xia xue, since you¡¯ve found a dance partner, then i won¡¯t say much. see you at the banquet!¡± as soon as she finished speaking, the hover car set off a gust of wind and quickly drove into the distance. at this point, only lin fan and xia xue were left. even though they were on a wide street, the air suddenly became a little heavy for some reason. after a while, xia xue stuttered, ¡°uhh¡­ thank you for helping me out¡­ i¡¯ll go back to school first.¡± lin fan looked at xia xue¡¯s confused appearance and could not help but find her very cute. he smiled and said, ¡°it¡¯s getting late. let¡¯s go to school together. we still have to attend the banquet later.¡± xia xue was slightly shy, and she stuttered, ¡°alright¡­alright.¡± then, the two of them walked forward side by side. from afar¡­ they were like a sweet couple. in the live broadcast room¡­ first affection card: [lin fan and xia xue are so sweet!] xiao fei: [this¡­ did i enter the wrong live broadcast doesn¡¯t xia xue usually visit shops and restricted areas? what¡¯s with the pda?] forest: [is this the feeling of being in love? it¡¯s really, really enviable!] jie rou: [xiao xue is so cute. lin fan is so handsome! i¡¯m in favor of this couple!] action is worse than excitement: [do you think xia xue forgot to turn off the live broadcast?] rainy season: [it seems¡­ she did.] sprout: [i¡¯m looking forward to the live broadcast of the banquet later.] ¡­ lin fan and xia xue walked on the snow-covered road, constantly making squeaking sounds. it was very interesting. after passing through two small paths covered in snow¡­ finally, a tall and majestic building appeared in his sight. it was jiangbei university! their entries were successful upon getting their faces scanned! lin fan and xia xue continued forward. not long after, they arrived in front of an oval-shaped building. this place¡­ was the venue of tonight¡¯s banquet. at this moment, the energetic students were either chatting or laughing as they slowly walked in. xia xue thought about it and said, ¡°actually, it¡¯s fine to just eat at the banquet later. later, you can eat whatever you want.¡± lin fan looked at her embarrassed expression and could not help but laugh. ¡°alright.¡± thus, the two of them walked in. as xia xue said, the banquet was centered on eating. as soon as they walked in, they could see a circle of food. the air was filled with the aroma of food. students were chatting and picking up food from the plates. the atmosphere was very relaxed. it had to be said that the world a thousand years later was indeed a little different from a thousand years ago. a thousand years ago, even though jiangbei university was a top university and the students had good resources, things would definitely not be like this. it was just a student dinner, yet there was no lack of abalone, lobster, sea cucumber, m9 beef, crab, red wine, and other delicacies and drinks. lin fan placed two pieces of beef into his mouth and commented in his heart, ¡®the meat quality is not bad. unfortunately, the taste is rather ordinary. moreover, regardless of whether the meat is salty, spicy, sweet, or even thin¡­ they¡¯re all exactly the same! ¡°the meat is clean-tasting and uniform, but it¡¯s easy to get tired of. the food must¡¯ve been cooked by a machine.¡± and the truth was just as lin fan had guessed. at this moment, a slightly ear-piercing voice sounded not far away. ¡°xia xue, your speed is so fast! ¡°by the way, why didn¡¯t you change into an evening gown?¡± xia xue and lin fan heard the voice and turned to look. the person who spoke was none other than dai weiya, whom they had met not long ago. there was a man in a tuxedo beside dai weiya. when the man in the tuxedo saw xia xue, a smile appeared on his face. but when he saw lin fan, his face sank. Chapter 643 - 643 Drink; Play the Piano! 643 drink; play the piano! the man in the tuxedo was chen ming. he had always harbored other thoughts about xia xue. before coming, dai weiya had already told chen ming that xia xue had found a companion for tonight. however, after seeing the man in the flesh, chen ming was still unhappy. even so, chen ming quickly suppressed his thoughts and smiled. ¡°xia xue, long time no see.¡± xia xue hated chen ming very much, but she could not make it too obvious. she had to say perfunctorily, ¡°yeah, long time no see.¡± chen ming did not seem to notice xia xue¡¯s perfunctory tone and said, ¡°the last time we met, it was at a gathering organized by president zuo. ¡°president zuo was still asking who should be the next head of the public relations department yesterday, and i even recommended you. ¡°xia xue, with your ability, there¡¯ll be no problem!¡± after a pause, he said, ¡°right, at the last gathering, you also said that you wanted to have a drink together next time. today is a very good opportunity. let¡¯s have a drink.¡± as he spoke, he strode forward and picked up two glasses of red wine. it had to be said that chen ming really had good abilities and methods. it seemed to just be a simple chat, but it was more than that. first, he recalled the past between the two of them, then he pointed out the other party¡¯s promise. then, he talked about the favors he had done for the other party. ordinary people could not refuse his toast. however, there was an extraordinary person standing next to xia xue¡ªlin fan! lin fan took a step forward and stood in front of xia xue. he took the red wine from chen ming and said, ¡°i¡¯m xia xue¡¯s companion for today. i¡¯ll be drinking on her behalf today. otherwise, won¡¯t i be too incompetent as her companion?¡± as he spoke, he gently swirled the wine glass in his hand, allowing the red wine to ripple back and forth. it was bright and gorgeous, like a red rose that had come alive. it was simply mesmerizing. then, lin fan raised his wine glass and sniffed it. he looked like a gentleman sniffing a flower that had just bloomed. he appeared very elegant. finally, lin fan poured the red wine into his mouth. his throat moved slightly as he downed the glass. lin fan commented, ¡°the taste is slightly sweet. also, there are many grapes mixed together, affecting the taste of the wine.¡± [skill: drinking gentleman!] xia xue witnessed this scene with her own eyes. in her eyes, lin fan was like a prince in a palace, introducing to her the red wine that he had personally brewed. it was so mesmerizing. chen ming¡¯s face turned even uglier. he had spent so much effort in the past before he had the opportunity to let xia xue drink with him. and the result? in the end, this guy in front of him directly snatched away his opportunity to drink with xia xue! now, xia xue was looking at lin fan with her beautiful eyes. a faint light was flashing in them. damn it! chen ming quietly took a breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. he said in a slightly surprised tone, ¡°xia xue, you found a companion for tonight?¡± that tone and that expression¡­ it was as if he had no idea about this beforehand. it had to be said that chen ming had some acting skills. then, chen ming smiled. ¡°you¡¯re xia xue¡¯s friend, so you¡¯re also my friend. oh, look, i haven¡¯t introduced myself. ¡°i¡¯m chen ming, the vice president of the jiangbei university student union.¡± after saying that, chen ming took the initiative to extend his right hand. he created a friendly attitude. at the same time, he pointed out his identity. when an ordinary person heard that he was the vice president of the student council, they would definitely be shocked. however, lin fan acted as if he did not hear him and said calmly, ¡°lin fan.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and gently clenched chen ming¡¯s hand. chen ming saw that lin fan¡¯s attitude toward him did not change at all. an unhappy expression flashed across his face. in his opinion, he had already revealed his identity as the vice president. in that case, lin fan should treat him respectfully like a commoner meeting a prince. chen ming¡¯s eyes kept moving as if he was thinking about how to deal with lin fan. soon, his gaze fell on the two pianos on both sides of the stage. his eyes moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up. ¡°today is a rare banquet for the student council. many people will dance together, but how can there be no music when dancing? lin fan, let¡¯s play a few piano songs for everyone. what do you think?¡± after a pause, he said, ¡°xia xue likes to listen to piano music very much. you should have no problem with that, right?¡± if chen ming did not say that last sentence, lin fan would not have paid him any mind. after all, why should he play the piano when others were the ones who wanted to dance? however, with the last sentence, the situation was completely different. xia xue quickly said, ¡°there¡¯s dance music prepared for this banquet. it¡¯s more convenient and simple to play the music directly later.¡± she did not say that she did not like piano music. ¡°playing dance music isn¡¯t as interesting as playing music live,¡± chen ming said with a smile. ¡°what¡¯s wrong? are you lacking confidence in me or lin fan?¡± as he spoke, he could not help but raise his head. chen ming had great confidence in his piano skills. that was because he had entered jiangbei university through the arts selection. among his peers, he was best at playing the piano. he was even praised by several famous pianists. in fact, even if lin fan had not appeared, chen ming had planned to play the piano at the banquet tonight. first, as he said, xia xue liked piano music. he could show her his charm. secondly, it would allow him to gain more attention and recognition from the student council. lin fan gave xia xue a reassuring look and said, ¡°then let¡¯s go play. but what song should we play?¡± chen ming said, ¡°let¡¯s play dance in the wind first. this song is lively and enthusiastic. it¡¯s suitable for our banquet tonight.¡± lin fan frowned. ¡°i don¡¯t think i¡¯ve heard this song before.¡±¡± even though lin fan had used his scanning ability to look at many music scores when he had nothing to do, a thousand years had passed. it was not surprising that many new scores had appeared. after a pause, lin fan said, ¡°it¡¯s okay. you play first. i¡¯ll play after you.¡± with his scanning ability and his extraordinary spiritual power, it was a very simple matter for him to play a piano song after listening to it once. however, to chen ming, it was as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. anyone who had a deeper understanding of the piano, even if they had never practiced the dance in the wind, would definitely have heard it before. however, lin fan had not. moreover, he wanted him to play it once first, and then he would play after him. who did he think he was? the god of duplication? chen ming nearly collapsed from laughing. afraid that lin fan would go back on his word, chen ming hurriedly said, ¡°alright then, i¡¯ll play first and you follow up! it¡¯s getting late. let¡¯s go up now.¡± after saying that, the corners of his mouth curled up again. he seemed to have imagined the scene of lin fan¡¯s messy playing later. it would cause everyone to laugh and xia xue to be completely disappointed in lin fan. Chapter 644 - 644 Stop Warming Up; Praise! 644 stop warming up; praise! at this moment, there were already dozens of people present. each of them was dressed up and eating delicacies while chatting and occasionally laughing. the overall atmosphere was very good. chen ming ignored the greetings from the people around him and walked quickly to the stage. then, he picked up the microphone beside him and said, ¡°today is the grand banquet of the student union! our mission is to eat well, drink well, and play well! ¡°next, i will be playing the piano with lin fan. i hope everyone will like it!¡± instantly, everyone¡¯s eyes turned to him. seeing this¡­ the smile on chen ming¡¯s face widened. he enjoyed the feeling of being noticed. then, he raised his hands and started playing on the keys a lively song soon resonated. many people could not help but sway along with the music. when the song ended, the audience immediately burst into enthusiastic applause and cheers. ¡°you played so well!¡± ¡°as expected of the vice president!¡± ¡°that¡¯s great!¡± ¡°when can i play so well?¡± ¡­ if it was in the past, xia xue might applaud out of politeness. however, today, she was not in the mood to applaud at all. she looked at lin fan with a worried expression. if lin fan made a fool of himself later, he would definitely be laughed at by many people. he was just a freshman, so it was very likely that he would cause a huge impact! lin fan seemed to feel xia xue¡¯s worry and gave her a reassuring look. then, he slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath. finally, he placed his hands on the piano keys. they were both playing dance in the wind, but lin fan and chen ming were completely different. if the score was compared to a script¡­ chen ming was a new actor who had no acting skills. he was inexperienced, fake, and failed to build an impression at all. lin fan was a competent actor. he was simply a feast for the eyes! xia xue looked at lin fan¡¯s action of playing the piano and listened to the music. she was a little stunned. the song ended, and the entire place fell silent. after a long while, there was a sudden round of applause. ¡°heavens! that was so good!¡± ¡°that was definitely better than a live concert!¡± ¡°i can guarantee that that¡¯s definitely the best piano piece i¡¯ve ever heard!¡± ¡°it¡¯s wonderful!¡± ¡°does anyone know his name?¡± ¡°please introduce me!¡± ¡­ chen ming was also shocked by lin fan¡¯s piano piece. however, when he listened to everyone¡¯s praise and looked at xia xue¡¯s fascinated look, his whole face was soon filled with resentment. he gritted his teeth and sat back on the piano bench. ¡°lin fan, how about we play the sound of the sea next?¡± sound of the sea was a level higher than dance in the wind. from chen ming¡¯s point of view, lin fan must have practiced dance in the wind for a long time. that was why he could play dance in the wind so beautifully. if it was any other song, especially the more difficult sound of the sea, lin fan would definitely not be able to compare to him. lin fan said, ¡°i haven¡¯t heard sound of the sea before. it¡¯s the same as before. you play it once and i¡¯ll follow.¡± chen ming glanced at lin fan. he had already chosen to ignore these words. he had not heard of the song? earlier, lin fan had also said that he had never listened to dance in the wind. what was the result in the end? he played it so skillfully! now, lin fan said such words again. did he think that chen ming would still believe it? lin fan was probably just laying the foundation for his terrible performance in the future. did he think it would be fine if he did that? this guy was rotten! when chen ming thought of this, a mocking expression appeared on his face. then, he placed his hands on the piano keys again. the rhythm of sound of the sea was obviously much faster than dance in the wind. chen ming¡¯s entire body kept moving along with the changes in his hands. the last note fell. applause rang out. ¡°it sounds good!¡± ¡°i like this song very much.¡± ¡°it¡¯s so good!¡± ¡­ after all, chen ming was the vice president, so there were still many people who flattered him. however, even more people were looking at lin fan. lin fan did not hesitate at all. the moment the applause stopped, his hands were also on the piano keys. if chen ming¡¯s sound of the sea was described as small waves surging on the beach, lin fan¡¯s sound of the sea was like a gigantic tsunami that was over a hundred meters tall! it was extremely shocking! the song ended. loud applause immediately erupted from the venue. ¡°oh my god, that was so good!¡± ¡°how did he play it like that?¡± ¡°i feel like all the blood in my body is boiling!¡± ¡°that was so satisfying!¡± ¡°ah! i can¡¯t take it anymore!¡± ¡­ all the praises came from the bottom of their hearts! xia xue looked at lin fan with her beautiful eyes which kept flashing with a gorgeous light. chen ming saw the changes in everyone present. in his heart, there was a ferocious tiger roaring wildly. damn it! this was originally a good opportunity for him to show off! it was originally a good opportunity for xia xue to like him! that damned lin fan! he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. after that, chen ming did not seem to be angry at all. in fact, he appeared to be impressed by lin fan. he smiled and said, ¡°it looks like¡­ lin fan¡¯s piano skills aren¡¯t bad! ¡°then let¡¯s not continue the warm up anymore. let¡¯s play something more difficult. ¡°next song, youth!¡± youth was definitely a song that far surpassed dance in the wind and sound of the sea. in fact, it was the song a champion of an international competition had once played. one could imagine how difficult it was. chen ming was not fully confident that he could play it. however, in order to establish his image and make xia xue like him, he chose to put up a fight. chen ming first recalled the song youth in his mind before placing his hand on the piano keys. the melody of this piano piece was light, rapid, and fierce! chen ming seemed to be beating a drum with a mallet. his entire body shook violently, and it was very tiring. when the last note fell, a few drops of sweat rolled down chen ming¡¯s forehead. playing youth also required a certain amount of physical strength. however, chen ming did not show any signs of fatigue. on the contrary, the corners of his mouth curled up. it was because he had finished playing youth! it was a perfect performance! at least, that was what chen ming thought. Chapter 645 - 645 Modifications; Thanks! 645 modifications; thanks! after chen ming pressed the last note, the audience applauded. some people echoed with praise. ¡°well played!¡± ¡°it sounded good!¡± ¡°that was great!¡± however, almost everyone¡¯s attention was focused on lin fan. everyone had heard lin fan¡¯s piano performance earlier and was looking forward to his next performance. finally, lin fan placed his hands on the piano keys. instantly¡­ cheerful, high-spirited, and intense music surged out like waves. almost everyone was moving their bodies to the rhythm of the music. this was an instinctive reaction! soul resonance! as the piano music continued, a young man and a young woman seemed to appear in everyone¡¯s field of vision. they ran against the wind, went into the sea to catch fish, and finally, flew into the sky¡­ they sweated freely and without restraint. this was youth! passion, high spirits, freedom! everyone¡¯s faces were filled with yearning. finally, the music stopped. everyone could not help but clap. it was a thunderous applause. this was a recognition of the performance, and at the same time, it was a reminiscence of their youth! this included dai weiya, xia xue, and even chen ming. however, chen ming quickly reacted. he suppressed the shock in his heart and rolled his eyes. ¡°lin fan, when you play the piano, you have to pay more attention to your foundation. ¡°youth was composed by our school¡¯s professor chen zuzhi. professor chen zuzhi even won first prize for an international piano competition because of it. ¡°the rhythm of the whole song is fast, light, and perfect. your second and third notes have two differences. although the overall flow was considered smooth¡­ if professor chen zuzhi heard you playing like this, he¡¯d probably be angry.¡± chen ming was like an elder, commenting on lin fan¡¯s piano performance. most people thought that lin fan played very well. however, after hearing chen ming¡¯s words, they could not help but hesitate and agree. at this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from outside. then, a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a white shirt walked in quickly. ¡°who?¡± he asked excitedly. ¡°who was the one who played youth?¡± when everyone heard this, they could not help but look toward the door. soon, someone exclaimed, ¡°professor chen zuzhi?!¡± this person was the creator of youth, chen zuzhi! ¡°hello, professor chen!¡± however, chen zuzhi did not seem to hear everyone¡¯s greetings. he spoke again, ¡°who was the one who played youth just now?¡± instantly, everyone¡¯s gaze landed on lin fan. ¡°can i trouble you to play it again?¡± chen zuzhi asked excitedly. lin fan nodded. ¡°sure.¡± it was equally cheerful. it was equally high-spirited. it was equally intense. it was also like the waves of the sea, surging continuously. in this song, chen zuzhi saw his own pursuit of knowledge, fighting spirit, and youth! the song ended. chen zuzhi clapped hard and shouted, ¡°good! that was great! this is the true youth! thank you for perfecting the flaws that have always existed.¡± silence! the entire scene was silent! who was chen zuzhi? he was a music professor at jiangbei university! he had even won the first prize in an international piano competition! what did they hear? chen zuzhi was actually thanking lin fan for helping to perfect youth! he did something that even chen zuzhi could not do! immediately after, everyone recalled what chen ming had said. ¡®your second and third notes have two differences. although the overall flow was considered smooth¡­ if professor chen zuzhi heard you playing like this, he¡¯d probably be angry.¡¯ therefore, everyone could not help but look at chen ming. chen ming seemed to have sensed the strange gazes from everyone, and his entire face suddenly turned red. it was too much of a slap in the face. he did not expect professor chen to suddenly appear here and even give lin fan such a high evaluation. chen zuzhi ignored everyone and asked, ¡°my name is chen zuzhi. may i know your name?¡± ¡°i¡¯m lin fan,¡± lin fan said. ¡°may i ask how you discovered the problem with youth and made adjustments, mr. lin?¡± ¡°musical intuition,¡± lin fan said. ¡°i see.¡± chen zuzhi nodded. musical intuition was a very mysterious and real thing. to put it simply, it was talent! then, chen zuzhi seemed to have thought of something and said, ¡°mr. lin, have you heard of my to the future?¡± lin fan shook his head. ¡°never heard of it.¡± although youth had won the first prize at an international piano competition, the popularity of to the future was not lower than it. it might even be higher. lin fan directly said that he had never heard of to the future. from a certain perspective, it was extremely impolite. however, chen zuzhi was not angry. ¡°then i¡¯ll play it for you on the spot. what do you think?¡± lin fan looked at the people around him and said, ¡°if they agree, then of course. after all, this is a banquet for the student council.¡± just as chen zuzhi was about to ask again, president zuo of the student union, who was far away, quickly said, ¡°this banquet needs music. since professor chen is willing to play, it¡¯s a great chance for us to enjoy it. we can¡¯t wait. how could we disagree?¡± ¡°then i¡¯ll borrow the place to play a tune.¡± chen zuzhi smiled. as he spoke, he looked at chen ming, who was sitting in front of another piano. chen ming was stunned for a moment before he said, ¡°professor chen, if you don¡¯t mind, you can use this piano here.¡± ¡°then i won¡¯t stand on ceremony,¡± said chen zuzhi. after saying that, he strode forward. it had to be said that chen zuzhi was indeed a piano master who had obtained many awards. whether it was the movements or the rhythm of the music, everything was great. everyone listened attentively. this was chen zuzhi! under normal circumstances, everyone would only have the chance to listen from afar during a concert. how could they listen at such a close distance like now? the music finally stopped. chen zuzhi raised his head slowly and looked at lin fan. lin fan said, ¡°you want to ask about the fourth part and the fifth part, right?¡± chen zuzhi¡¯s eyes lit up as he said excitedly, ¡°yes! mr. lin, do you have any thoughts on changing these parts?¡± Chapter 646 - 646 Teacher and Student Exchange Roles; Classmates! 646 teacher and student exchange roles; classmates! chen zuzhi¡¯s face was filled with anticipation and surprise. he did not even dare to blink. in fact, his breathing even stopped for a moment. lin fan placed his hands on the piano keys and started to play. the melodious and gentle music continued to ripple. as the music continued, chen zuzhi¡¯s eyes lit up. when lin fan stopped playing, chen zuzhi started shouting excitedly. ¡°good, good, good!¡± this showed how happy he was at the moment. ¡°so that¡¯s how it is! ¡°mr. lin, thank you!¡± after saying that, chen zuzhi bowed deeply toward lin fan. this scene once again stunned everyone present. lin fan was a student, and chen zuzhi was a professor. at this moment, their identities seemed to be completely reversed. how could this not be surprising? everyone could not help but think of chen ming¡¯s words. ¡°lin fan, when you play the piano, you have to pay more attention to your foundation.¡± pay attention to his foundation? if even chen zuzhi regarded lin fan as a teacher and he still needed to pay more attention to his foundation¡­ then who in this world did not need to pay attention to their foundation? chen ming seemed to have thought of this as well, and his entire face became redder and redder. ¡­ in the live broadcast room. countless comments appeared. shi lei: [lin fan¡¯s piano skills are so good.] no woman in my heart: [i¡¯ve never heard such a nice piano piece before.] bingxue: [the general managers of the imperial hotel are so respectful to lin fan. lin fan can even get the employees of yuesse snow tea to send drinks to him with a single sentence¡­now, he played such a beautiful piano piece, and he¡¯s so handsome! heavens! he¡¯s simply the perfect prince charming!] summoning: [i like him!] sea of stars: [heavens! professor chen zuzhi bowed to him. this¡­ this is unbelievable!] quick guest: [that chen ming still wanted to make things difficult for lin fan. what a joke. he dug a grave for himself, didn¡¯t he?] snowy: [he¡¯s asking for humiliation!] ¡­ the banquet lasted until 9 pm before it slowly ended. today was supposed to be a joyous gathering for the student union committee members. later on, it turned into a piano lesson for chen zuzhi. however, the crowd was not annoyed by this. on the contrary, everyone¡¯s faces were filled with enjoyment. it was not until the end of the banquet that xia xue found that she had been broadcasting live. even though she did not speak in the broadcast, she had climbed to the top of the livestream popularity rankings! this directly shocked xia xue. who are you: [xia xue finally appears in front of the camera!] king: [xiao xue, can you let mr. lin play a few more songs?] coming right up: [mr. lin is a piano genius!] wan jiajia: [although i really can¡¯t bear to part with xia xue, if the other party is lin fan, it¡¯s alright with me!] conflict: [xia xue, you¡¯re so lucky.] ¡­ xia xue looked at the bullet screen in the live broadcast room, and her entire pretty face suddenly blushed. after a while, she stammered, ¡°thank you¡­ thank you, everyone, for your support. today¡¯s live broadcast will end here.] after saying that, she immediately ended the live broadcast. xia xue walked on the long forest path. lin fan¡¯s figure involuntarily appeared in her mind. as time passed, it became taller, bigger, and brighter. xia xue shook her head hard. only then did she regain some consciousness and continue to walk forward. ¡­ a few days passed in a flash. today was the first day of school at jiangbei university. the new students entered the school, and the older students started classes. the entire school was very lively, full of vitality and vitality. at this moment, in classroom 2011. since the bell had not rung, the students sat very casually. in twos and threes, their arms were around each other¡¯s shoulders as they chatted about interesting things that took place during the holidays. ¡°i finally passed the tenth level of sprinting rush during the summer vacation. it¡¯s so exciting!¡± ¡°f*ck, you¡¯re that awesome? i can¡¯t even pass the sixth level.¡± ¡°i¡¯ve passed the ninth level. let¡¯s team up next time!¡± ¡­ ¡°when we entered the school, we didn¡¯t know anything. many beautiful girls and handsome guys were snatched away by our seniors. i wonder if there¡¯ll be any handsome guys or beautiful girls entering this year.¡± ¡°hehe, after class, we¡¯ll go help our juniors with some small things.¡± ¡­ ¡°i heard that there¡¯s a very good restaurant on grain street. how about going there when we¡¯re free?¡± ¡°alright!¡± ¡­ some people were chatting, while others were quietly organizing their books. for example, xia xue. even though it was the first day of school, she did not slack off at all. she was still seriously flipping through the books that had just been distributed. at this moment, the bell rang in jiangbei university. the students, who had their arms around each other¡¯s shoulders, could not help but disperse and return to their seats. not long after, a dull sound of footsteps could be heard from outside the corridor. following that, a middle-aged man dressed in a white shirt called qin chuan, who looked very capable, strode in. ¡°long time no see, my fellow students!¡± he said with a smile.¡± as he spoke, he glanced at everyone in the classroom and nodded slightly. ¡°very good. not a single person is missing this year.¡± a thousand years ago, if a teacher wanted to know if a student had come to the classroom, they had to count or do a roll call. however, a thousand years later, some teachers had special abilities or strong spiritual power. with just a glance, they could tell the situation of the people in the classroom. this saved them a lot of trouble. at the same time, it also made skipping classes a thing of the past. ¡°actually, not only is there no one missing, but from this semester onward, our class will have one more student.¡± then, he said to the door, ¡°lin fan, come in.¡± originally, xia xue, who was still flipping through the book, could not help but prick up her ears. for some reason, her heart suddenly beat faster, and she could not help but raise her head. in the next moment¡­ a tall and handsome figure appeared on the podium. it was lin fan! xia xue¡¯s heart beat faster again. ¡®it¡¯s him! it¡¯s him! it¡¯s really him!¡¯ xia xue almost couldn¡¯t believe her eyes. since the end of the banquet, xia xue had never seen lin fan again. she had also thought about sending a message to lin fan. however, after a few moments of hesitation, she could not send it out. in the past few days, xia xue had been thinking about when she would see lin fan again. however, she never thought that it would be today, in the classroom! was lin fan not a new student? how did he become her classmate? classmates? for some reason, xia xue thought of this word, and her heartbeat sped up again. Chapter 647 - 647 System; Protagonist? 647 system; protagonist? in fact¡­ not only did xia xue¡¯s heartbeat speed up, but many female students in the class also had their eyes lit up slightly. their heartbeats kept speeding up. ¡°so handsome!¡± ¡°our class finally has a handsome guy.¡± ¡± lin fan, what a nice name!¡± ¡°hello, handsome!¡± ¡­ with lin fan¡¯s hearing ability, he easily heard everyone¡¯s words. however, he did not care at all. he looked straight at xia xue¡¯s position. ¡°hello, everyone. my name is lin fan.¡± qin chuan nodded and said, ¡°lin fan, find an empty seat and sit down.¡± ¡°alright,¡± said lin fan. lin fan strode forward. the hearts of the ladies sitting far away kept racing. but soon, lin fan stopped and stopped beside xia xue. he smiled and said, ¡°can i sit here?¡± xia xue stuttered, ¡°s-sure.¡± lin fan sat down. when the ladies nearby saw this, they sighed in their hearts. they regretted not sitting in the front today. perhaps, lin fan would have sat at the same table as them. qin chuan did not care where lin fan sat. he cleared his throat and said, ¡°since all the students are here, i¡¯ll reveal the school¡¯s announcement.¡± after saying that, he clicked on the whiteboard behind him. then, a paragraph of bold text immediately appeared on the whiteboard. [notice: in order to promote the students¡¯ spirit of exploration of the forbidden area, stimulate and develop their special abilities, and enhance their overall quality, all second-year students will enter the forbidden area for a week of exploration.] the classroom was soon filled with discussions. ¡°we¡¯re going to explore the forbidden area so soon?¡± ¡°i wonder if i can activate my special ability.¡± ¡°i wish i could have the special ability to fly. that feeling is great.¡± ¡°fly? that¡¯s too difficult.¡± ¡­ ¡°this is the situation,¡± qin chuan pressed his hands together and said. ¡°everyone can go back and pack your luggage now. just come to the classroom at 9 am tomorrow. ¡°does anyone have any questions? or are you unable to participate due to special reasons such as illness or injury? you can raise your hand.¡± the students looked at each other, but none of them raised their hands. after all, this was a chance to enter the forbidden area. no one wanted to miss it easily. ¡°alright, that¡¯s it, then. school¡¯s over.¡± qin chuan was very decisive. after saying that, he strode out. the students were worried, happy, afraid, and excited¡­they had different thoughts. after a while, they slowly left the classroom. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, it was the second day. all the students carried huge backpacks and arrived at the classroom early. ¡°i heard that there¡¯s a very powerful fruit in the forbidden area. eating one can increase one¡¯s strength by a few hundred pounds¡¯ worth.¡± ¡°a few hundred pounds¡¯ worth of strength is nothing. i heard that there¡¯s another type of water there. drinking a drop of it can directly turn you into an a-class expert!¡± ¡°i¡¯m not too interested in becoming stronger. i only hope to find perfect gold! it seemed like one piece can fetch a price of tens of millions of world coins!¡± ¡­ the more the students discussed, the more their eyes lit up. it was as if those special fruits, liquids, and perfect gold were all in front of them. they could easily obtain them with a casual raise of their hands. xia xue just sat quietly in her seat, but her beautiful eyes were faintly looking at the door. it was as if she was looking forward to something. at this moment, crisp footsteps sounded from outside the corridor. then, a tall and handsome figure slowly walked in. it was lin fan! lin fan did not hesitate at all and sat down next to xia xue. xia xue¡¯s pretty face could not help but blush slightly. lin fan sat beside her again. some of the women around sighed. a crisp bell rang in jiangbei university. soon, qin chuan, who was wearing a white shirt, walked in like yesterday. he looked around at everyone and said, ¡°not bad, everyone is here on time. then, let¡¯s set off now!¡± at this moment, there were many hover buses parked on the wide field. groups of second-year students lined up under the teacher¡¯s instructions and walked toward the buses. it had to be said that the buses from a thousand years later was indeed not bad. the seats were wrapped in leather, there was a huge high-definition display screen, and cool ambiance lights¡­ the one-hour drive did not make them feel tired at all. on the contrary, it made the students feel better. when the bus opened its doors, they saw a tall iron net. inside the iron net was an endless huge forest. a man dressed in black strode over. qin chuan nodded at him and handed him a card. the machine in the black-clothed man¡¯s hand let out a soft sound. ¡°verification successful, qin chuan.¡± ¡°there are a total of 23 people from class 2011 who will be entering forbidden area no. 31 this time,¡± qin chuan said. ¡°alright,¡± the man in black said. he clicked on the foldable display screen in his hand and opened the iron gate behind him. ¡°students, let me remind you again. the outer perimeter of the forbidden area refers to the area within 100 kilometers of the forbidden area! don¡¯t enter the central region 100 kilometers away. it¡¯s very dangerous there. your mission is to live in the outer region for seven days! ¡°all of your phones have emergency buttons. if you encounter danger, press it quickly. we will get someone to rush to you as soon as possible.¡± Chapter 648 - 648 System; Protagonist?

(2) ¡°let¡¯s cut the crap and set off!¡± ¡°yes, teacher!¡± all the students said in unison. then, the students walked inside together. qin chuan and the black-robed man quietly watched them leave. after everyone had entered, the man in black said, ¡°do you think someone will enter e-class this time?¡± ¡°of course!¡± qin chuan replied. ¡°oh?¡± the man in black was surprised. ¡°how many?¡± qin chuan smiled. ¡°i just said that because it¡¯d be too boring otherwise. why don¡¯t we bet on something?¡± ¡°you¡¯ve already lost 10,000 world coins to me, but you haven¡¯t given the money to me yet,¡± the man in black said. ¡°it¡¯s only 10,000 world coins. we¡¯ll bet 20,000 world coins this time. as long as i win, you only need to give me 10,000 world coins.¡± the black-clothed man¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. he said, ¡°you said the same thing when you owed me 5,000 world coins.¡± ¡°did i?¡± qin chuan smiled. ¡°there¡¯s no need to care about these details. then let¡¯s make a deal. this time, i¡¯ll bet 20,000 world coins on five or more entering e-class!¡± ¡°five?¡± the man in black was a little surprised. one had to know¡­ according to past experience, only one or two students would enter e-class when they entered the forbidden area. five were definitely rare. ¡°how about it? do you dare to bet?¡± qin chuan asked. ¡°since you want to give me money, why would i refuse?¡± the man in black laughed. ¡­ the forest was like a huge ice cellar. as soon as he walked in, the heat from before disappeared instantly, and the temperature seemed to have dropped by more than ten degrees. when a gentle breeze blew, some people could not help but shiver. all the students looked around curiously, and from time to time, they would let out a discussion. xia xue, who was walking farther back, slowly took out the folding screen and opened the live broadcast platform. it had to be said that xia xue had become very popular. not long after the broadcast started, the number of viewers reached more than 100,000. many comments kept appearing. promise of the gods: [xia xue has started her live broadcast again!] everyone: [where is this place? a forest? is xia xue traveling?] idiot: [so many people.] waiting for ta in my heart: [wow! i saw lin fan! so handsome!] ¡­ xia xue whispered, ¡°hello everyone. i¡¯m very happy to meet you again. ¡°today, the sophomore year at jiangbei university will be exploring the forbidden area for a week. right now, everyone in our class is in forbidden area no. 31.¡± ¡­ in the live broadcast room. tired: [forbidden area! the legendary forbidden area!] beggar: [jiangbei university is awesome! students can enter the forbidden area.] the weather is really cold: [my biggest dream is to go to a forbidden area!] carefree dream: [sure enough, the resources of a good university are excellent!] repairman: [from today onward, be a person who loves to learn. read books, do homework, and recite texts!] mysterious flower: [what did xia xue just say? everyone in her class? so, lin fan and xia xue are classmates?] grace: [did lin fan change classes to be xia xue¡¯s classmate in order to chase after her? heavens! it¡¯s as if i¡¯m looking at a 200,000-word romance novel!] ¡­ when xia xue read the comments, she was stunned for a moment. lin fan had specially transferred classes to be her classmate? was that so? otherwise, why would he come to her class? otherwise, why would he be her deskmate? also, he had sat beside her on the bus just now. was he really pursuing her? thinking of this, xia xue¡¯s entire face instantly turned red. she raised her head and looked at lin fan. at this moment, lin fan looked over. they looked at each other. in an instant, xia xue¡¯s face was red as a tomato, and she quickly turned her head to the side. in the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. at first, everyone felt that the forest was very cold. however, at this moment, they were all drenched in sweat. the path in the forest was too difficult to walk on. in addition, everyone was carrying a big bag on their backs, which was very exhausting. a short and thin man accidentally tripped on a rock and fell to the ground. the round-faced man beside him was quick to react. he hurriedly supported him so that he did not fall. even so, the short and thin man was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. ¡°thank you, li dongqiang,¡± he hurriedly said to the round-faced man. as soon as he said this, a crisp notification sounded in li dongqiang¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received a gratitude token. it can be used for the lucky draw.] lucky draw! [ding! congratulations, your strength has increased by five pounds¡¯ worth.] suddenly, li dongqiang felt his entire body become much lighter. an increase in strength! li dongqiang thought excitedly, ¡®is this the legendary system? helping someone can earn you gratitude tokens and then power? i¡¯m simply the protagonist of the legends! if this continues, how strong will i become?¡¯ he was so happy that his eyes turned into slits. he waved his hands and said, ¡°you¡¯re welcome. it¡¯s just a small matter.¡± but soon, li dongqiang said, ¡°actually, it doesn¡¯t matter if you thank me more.¡± the short and thin man was slightly stunned. ¡®thank you more? ¡®what the hell?¡¯ he looked at li dongqiang¡¯s serious expression and could not help but say again, ¡°thank¡­ thank you.¡± however, this time, there was no notification in li dongqiang¡¯s mind. this made li dongqiang somewhat puzzled. ¡­ lin fan, who was not too far away, saw everything. li dongqiang thought that no one could hear the system voice in his head and no one knew what he was thinking. actually, all of this could not escape lin fan¡¯s ears. lin fan¡¯s face was filled with curiosity. system? this person called li dongqiang also had a system? were there many systems after a thousand years? gratitude tokens, they seemed quite interesting. ¡­ after li dongqiang received a gratitude token from the short and thin man, it was as if he had found the password to become stronger. along the way, he carefully observed the figures of his classmates. if anyone accidentally tripped, he would immediately go forward to help them. however, after half an hour, no one tripped again. this made li dongqiang a little disappointed. at this moment, a man named zhang fen, who was walking closer to the front and wearing silver-rimmed glasses, said, ¡°it¡¯s almost time. i suggest that everyone eat lunch here and then take a break. what do you think?¡± zhang fen was the class monitor. he had a certain amount of prestige in the class. in addition, the students were indeed hungry. hence, they all agreed. ¡°alright.¡± ¡°yes, we¡¯ll rest here.¡± ¡°let¡¯s eat something.¡± ¡­ in today¡¯s life, the vast majority of things could be handed over to the androids. androids could cook delicious food and clean the house very well. gradually, many people got used to a clean and tidy environment. in fact, they even had mysophobia. in the past, as long as there was something dirty on the chair, some students might not sit on it. however, at this moment, they were sitting on branches and rocks that were covered in dirt. sometimes, it was not that people could not accept it, it was just that they were pretentious. along the way, lin fan always followed xia xue. now that they were resting, it was the same. he reached into his backpack as if he was taking something out of it. with a thought, he placed the things in his inner space into his hand. following that, lin fan brought out the delicacies one by one. lin fan said, ¡°xia xue, you must be hungry too. come and eat.¡± when they were eating at the imperial hotel, lin fan had specially observed xia xue and knew what she liked to eat. sure enough, when lin fan took out the delicacies, xia xue could not move her eyes away. she seemed to recall the deliciousness of the food and could not help but swallow her saliva. Chapter 649 - 649 Anticipation; Barbecue! 649 anticipation; barbecue! finally, xia xue took the food and put it into her mouth. the food was so delicious, and she was extremely satisfied. the students sitting not far away seemed to smell the fragrance and looked at xia xue. soon, everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on her. they were taking in nutrient fluids and eating compressed biscuits and bread¡­ they even thought that the taste was pretty good. however, at this moment, they suddenly felt that the things they had were not good at all. ¡­ in the live broadcast room. stupid child: [the difference between people is really big.] who first saw the moon: [the students¡¯ eyes are a little red.] beggar: [having a boyfriend is good.] flower in the heart: [i suddenly want to date again.] ¡­ xia xue had just finished eating a delicious meal. she casually glanced at the live broadcast room, and her entire pretty face instantly blushed. boyfriend? she stole a glance at lin fan before lowering her head. ¡­ after resting for about 20 minutes, the students stood up and set off again. along the way, there were tall trees and jagged rocks¡­ at this moment, a long green snake suddenly fell from the tree and landed on a woman with coiled hair. ¡°help!¡± the woman shouted in panic. li dongqiang¡¯s reaction was extremely fast. he stepped forward and pinched the seven-inch snake. then, he pulled out the dagger at his waist and slashed down. blood splattered as the snake¡¯s head fell to the ground. li dongqiang had good skills, and he had gained five pounds of strength previously. catching the snake and slashing the snake were easy for him. the woman with her hair tied up froze on the spot for a while. after a long time, she came back to her senses and said sincerely, ¡°thank you, li dongqiang. thank you.¡± as she spoke, her eyes were misty. obviously, she was indeed frightened. li dongqiang smiled. ¡°yes, yes. just say thank you. it¡¯s best to say it a few more times.¡± that was because a crisp notification sounded in his mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve received two gratitude tokens. you can use them for the lucky draw.] two gratitude tokens! that was right! she said thank you twice! not long ago, li dongqiang had already used a gratitude token to obtain 5 pounds¡¯ worth of strength. naturally, the more gratitude tokens he received, the better. the woman, who was originally extremely afraid and grateful, burst out laughing. the fear and gratitude from before had faded a lot. ¡°thank you,¡± the woman said. however, li dongqiang did not receive any gratitude tokens this time. this made li dongqiang a little disappointed. then, he turned his attention to the gratitude tokens. ¡®use them!¡¯ [ding! it¡¯s a pity that you didn¡¯t get anything.] the corner of li dongqiang¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. so, there was a chance to not get anything? [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve gained three pounds¡¯ worth of strength.] three pounds worth of strength? although it was less than five pounds, it was still not bad. a smile appeared on li dongqiang¡¯s face. ¡°there are many snakes, insects, rats, ants, ferocious beasts, and even mutated beasts in the forbidden area! everyone, pay attention to your safety.¡± ¡­ the students continued to move forward. li dongqiang was not only paying attention to whether anyone would fall down, but he was also paying attention to whether any snakes, insects, rats, or ants would suddenly appear. opportunity was always given to those who were prepared. in the following period of time, two bumblebees and a snake appeared. all of them were taken care of by li dongqiang. as a result, li dongqiang received the gratitude of four people and successfully received four gratitude tokens. these four gratitude tokens increased li dongqiang¡¯s strength by 12 pounds¡¯ worth. in other words, in just one day, li dongqiang¡¯s strength had increased by 20 pounds¡¯ worth! even after walking in the forest for an entire day, li dongqiang was still full of energy. the setting sun dyed the distant sky bright red. ¡°the forbidden area isn¡¯t safe at night,¡± zhang fen said. ¡°let¡¯s rest here.¡± at this moment, everyone was already exhausted. they sat down and sighed. ¡°i¡¯m so tired.¡± ¡°my legs are a little weak.¡± ¡°my legs feel like jelly.¡± ¡°sigh, there are still six days left.¡± ¡­ in the beginning, everyone was full of ambition. they wanted to find the legendary treasures in the forbidden area and fly to higher places. however, after a day, they no longer had any hope. the students complained as they took out water and food to replenish their strength. just like in the afternoon, lin fan took out another set of delicious food. ¡°xia xue, come and eat,¡± lin fan said. a thousand years ago, every time xia xue and xia bing met, they prepared an energy drink for lin fan. a thousand years later, it was lin fan who prepared food for xia xue! xia xue smelled these delicacies, and her stomach immediately made a rumbling sound. she could not help but say, ¡°okay¡­ alright.¡± after eating the delicious food, she felt that the fatigue in her entire body seemed to have dissipated a lot. actually, this was the truth. because when xia xue was eating, lin fan secretly injected her with life energy. after xia xue had a full meal, her entire pretty face was full of satisfaction. a man with a buzz cut called zheng cong asked in confusion, ¡°lin fan, i¡¯m afraid the food you brought won¡¯t be able to last long. what will you do for the next few days?¡± at this moment, a large bird about a meter long flew over the treetops. then, as if the bird was tired of flying or had a heart attack, it fell straight from the sky and made a dull sound. then, it was completely silent. Chapter 650 - 650 Anticipation; Barbecue (2) 650 anticipation; barbecue (2) lin fan bent down and picked up the bird. ¡°i don¡¯t think i need to worry about food.¡± the crew-cut man was stunned on the spot. he could not help but look up at the sky, as if he wanted to see if he could pick up a bird. unfortunately, he did not have such luck. the sky gradually darkened. all the students took out their sleeping bags and looked for a suitable place to sleep. ¡°do you think there¡¯ll be snakes at night?¡± ¡°what if there are suddenly mutated beasts?¡± ¡°i don¡¯t think so.¡± ¡­ the more they talked, the more worried they became. their eyes could not help but look around. class monitor zhang fen said, ¡°let¡¯s take turns to go on duty. it¡¯ll be three people in a group. we¡¯ll start at 12 o¡¯clock and be on duty for four hours. then, we¡¯ll change to another group. what do you think?¡± everyone nodded in agreement. being on duty was indeed a lot more reassuring. ¡°alright, then it¡¯s settled. to be fair, i¡¯ll use a random name generator.¡± then, he took out the foldable display and randomly picked the names. soon, the name list appeared. the first night (first half): lin fan, xia xue, li dongqiang. the first night (second half): zhang fen, liu zhihao, song li. the second night (first half): ¡­ the night gradually deepened. in today¡¯s world, there were countless forms of entertainment. 12 o¡¯clock was very early. however, today, many people had already entered their sleeping bags. soon, some even started snoring. today was too tiring for them. lin fan, xia xue, and li dongqiang sat in front of the fire, drinking hot tea and coffee. they were quite satisfied. everyone was young, and after chatting for a while, they quickly became familiar with each other. at this moment, li dongqiang suddenly saw the big bird beside him and could not help but ask, ¡°lin fan, what are you planning to do with it?¡± ¡°i want to roast its meat,¡± lin fan said. ¡°barbecue meat? not bad. unfortunately, we don¡¯t have any seasonings. otherwise, it would be very good for us to eat barbecued meat while on duty,¡± li dongqiang said. xia xue said, ¡°i don¡¯t know if anyone brought seasonings.¡± as she spoke, she looked at the backpacks in front of the sleeping bags. obviously, she was looking for seasonings. lin fan smiled and said, ¡°i brought seasonings.¡± after a thousand years of accumulation and gains, the volume of lin fan¡¯s internal space had already reached over a million cubic meters. two days ago, when lin fan had nothing to do, he had bought all the items he needed and placed them into his internal dimension. lin fan put his hand into his backpack, looking for some spices. in fact, he was just using his mind, and all kinds of condiments appeared in his hand from the internal space. lin fan took out bottle after bottle of condiments and placed them on the ground. ¡°let me see,¡± li dongqiang said excitedly. ¡°oil, pepper, chili pepper¡­ lin fan, you have a complete set! good job!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he could not help but give a thumbs-up. li dongqiang continued, ¡°the condiments are complete!¡± lin fan, just you watch. i¡¯ll show you what i can do!¡± then, he quickly plucked the bird¡¯s feathers. this was a relatively large task. after all, there were too many feathers. ¡°it¡¯s a pity that there¡¯s no lake here,¡± li dongqiang said. ¡°otherwise, it¡¯ll be easy to pluck the feathers if we boil some hot water.¡± ¡°let me do it,¡± said lin fan. he saw that xia xue was looking forward to the roast bird meat. if he allowed li dongqiang to pluck the feathers slowly and then slowly roast it¡­ he was afraid that xia xue would not be able to eat the meat today. lin fan took out a fruit knife and waved it. bird feathers fell like snow. in just ten seconds, the entire bird became bald. li dongqiang gave a thumbs-up again and said, ¡°f*ck! it¡¯s done just like that? that¡¯s so awesome! ¡°lin fan, do you sell chicken?¡± sell chicken? he asked if the richest man in the world sold chicken? the greatest existence in a thousand years sold chicken? if these words were heard by some insiders, who knew what they would think? lin fan smiled, ¡°i don¡¯t sell chicken, but i used to eat this often. after making it a few times, i gained some experience.¡± lin fan did not say those words carelessly. a thousand years ago, when he was in the forbidden area, he did eat a lot. then, lin fan picked up a thicker branch and ran it through the bird¡¯s stomach. then, he would occasionally brush oil and sprinkle seasonings¡­ not long after, the bird¡¯s appearance began to turn golden. drops of grease slowly dripped down, emitting an extremely alluring fragrance. xia xue and li dongqiang, who were sitting next to the fire, kept their eyes on the big bird. they could not help but swallow. in fact¡­ they were not the only ones gulping. the audience who were watching the live broadcast silently in front of the screen also gulped. little painter: [i can smell the fragrance even through the screen.] time like water: [such a big bird must taste good!] mysterious man: [so much grease! all of it dripped onto the ground¡­ what a waste!] water: [isn¡¯t this a live broadcast in the forbidden area? why did it become a late-night supper show?] quiker: [i just laid down and suddenly felt hungry after seeing this video. who can tell me where i can eat the same type of barbecue?] fate: [lin fan was able to make the general manager of the imperial hotel serve him with the greatest care and make the staff of yuesse snow tea personally deliver him drinks. he¡¯s tall and handsome. now, he even knows how to barbecue! the perfect prince charming is definitely lin fan!] my heart: [if my husband is even one-tenth as good as lin fan, that would be perfect.] nothing is difficult in this world: [if my boyfriend is one percent as good as lin fan, then i¡¯d be happy.] ¡­ lin fan did not know that he had become the standard. that was, anyone who was a fraction of lin fan was a qualified boyfriend or husband. ¡­ lin fan used a fruit knife to gently cut open the bird¡¯s skin, revealing the tender meat inside. the alluring fragrance became even stronger. lin fan nodded. ¡°we can eat now.¡± then, he cut a piece of meat and handed it to xia xue. ¡°try it. how does it taste?¡± xia xue could not bear it anymore and replied, ¡°alright.¡± as soon as she finished speaking, she stuffed the meat into her mouth. after she ate the meat, xia xue¡¯s beautiful eyes instantly lit up. she praised, ¡°delicious!¡± li dongqiang did not wait for lin fan to speak and said, ¡°is that so? then i¡¯ll try it too.¡± then, he picked up the fruit knife and cut a piece of meat. li dongqiang did not care how hot the meat was and hurriedly put it into his mouth. ¡°it¡¯s so delicious!¡± li dongqiang exclaimed excitedly. in just a few seconds, the meat in his hand was eaten clean. hence, he quickly cut another large piece of meat. lin fan also cut another piece of meat and handed it to xia xue. ¡°don¡¯t worry, there¡¯s still a lot.¡± ¡°delicious!¡± li dongqiang praised again. perhaps they were eating too loudly and had woken up their sleeping classmates. perhaps the aroma of the roasted meat was too strong and it pulled the sleeping students back from their dreams. the long-haired beauty sleeping in the middle slowly opened her eyes. she sniffed hard and muttered, ¡°what¡¯s that smell? it smells so good!¡± as she spoke, she slowly sat up and turned to look in the direction of the fragrance. soon, the long-haired beauty¡¯s gaze fell on the roasted meat on the fire. ¡°barbecued meat?¡± the long-haired beauty said in surprise. she could not help but gulp. she got up and walked forward slowly. the first person had already woken up. soon, the rest followed. not long after, everyone climbed out of their sleeping bags and came to the fire. their eyes were burning as they looked at the brightly colored roasted meat on the fire. they could not help but swallow their saliva. Chapter 651 - 651 Chance Encounter; Stop Fighting! 651 chance encounter; stop fighting! gradually¡­ a very strange scene appeared at the scene. in the dead of the night. a large group of sleepy-looking people in pajamas stared at the fire without blinking. xia xue had just swallowed a piece of meat and seemed to feel the abnormality. she could not help but slowly turn around. the next moment, xia xue was stunned. she stammered, ¡°w-why are you guys awake?¡± the woman with her hair tied up did not answer. instead, she asked, ¡°xia xue, you are¡­ what are you doing?¡± after saying that, she could not help but swallow her saliva. xia xue said, ¡°we roasted meat?¡± the woman asked again, ¡°is it delicious?¡± ¡°it is!¡± xia xue¡¯s answer this time was very certain. everyone could not help but swallow their saliva. xia xue seemed to be aware that her classmates wanted to eat the meat and were just waiting for an invitation. however, she soon realized that the roasted meat did not belong to her. xia xue turned to look at lin fan. lin fan smiled. ¡°there¡¯s still a lot of roasted meat here. everyone, sit down and eat.¡± when the students heard this, their eyes lit up. ¡°then we won¡¯t stand on ceremony.¡± ¡°thank you.¡± ¡°thank you.¡± ¡­ all the students quickly stepped forward, cut off a piece of roasted meat, and quickly stuffed it into their mouths. their mouths were full of grease as they praised continuously. ¡°it¡¯s so delicious!¡± ¡°it¡¯s delicious!¡± ¡°i¡¯ve never eaten such delicious barbecued meat before!¡± ¡­ there was no trace of pretentiousness in their tone, or rather, they were expressing their feelings as usual. this was normal. they had been on the road for an entire day, and there was nothing in their stomachs at all. lin fan had already mastered professional cooking skills a thousand years ago. in the past thousand years, his abilities in all aspects had been further developed. how could it not taste good when he barbecued the meat himself? ¡­ in the live broadcast room¡­ windcloud loose cultivator: [that¡­ that looks so delicious!] who¡¯s nobler: [i want to eat it too.] farewell: [i can¡¯t take it anymore! i want to get up and eat meat!] likes spicy girls: [my saliva has already flowed all over the pillow.] ¡­ in just a few minutes, the huge roasted meat was finished. class monitor zhang fen said, ¡°lin fan, your roast meat is so good. i think you can definitely become a star chef in the future.¡± as soon as these words were said, it immediately attracted the agreement of many people. ¡°that¡¯s right! you can be a star chef!¡± ¡°i heard that the salary of a star chef can be more than 50,000 world coins per month.¡± ¡°some powerful star chefs, especially handsome star chefs, can even host chef programs! lin fan is so handsome. he can definitely do it!¡± ¡°host a show? that would be amazing!¡± ¡­ everyone spoke one after another, and their faces gradually showed a hint of yearning and envy. this was normal. according to the purchasing power of today¡¯s currency, 10,000 world coins was about 100,000 dollars a thousand years ago. 50,000 world coins was 500,000 yuan! a monthly salary of 500,000! even for a graduate of jiangbei university, it was definitely a very high income. they thought so, but the people in the live broadcast room did not think so at all. ¡­ final: [let lin fan be a star chef?] blazing beauty: [50,000 world coins? just how much do you look down on lin fan?] dapeng: [they have no idea who they are talking to.] ¡­ in the blink of an eye, the next day arrived. sunlight shone through the cracks of the trees like stars and fell on the faces of lin fan, xia xue, li dongqiang, and the others. at this moment, a gentle breeze blew over and gently brushed past everyone¡¯s faces. everyone seemed to have sensed something and slowly opened their eyes. last night, everyone had eaten delicious food. in addition, the air in the forest was much fresher than in the city. this made everyone sleep very comfortably and contentedly. they had a good mental state. after packing up, they set off again. not long after, a sound suddenly sounded in the distance. ¡°there seems to be something in front of us. everyone, be careful!¡± the class monitor, zhang fen, quickly shouted in a low voice. as soon as he said that, everyone became vigilant. after all, this was a forbidden area. although it was only the outer region, there were still many dangers. not long after, a few figures popped their heads out. after zhang song saw that they were people, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief. of course, he was not completely relieved. ¡°we are students from class 2011 of jiangbei university,¡± he said. ¡°i¡¯m the class monitor, zhang fen. the school organized an expedition into forbidden area no. 31. may i know who you are?¡± at this moment, someone shouted from behind. ¡°senior wanhao?¡± ¡°vice president chen ming?¡± ¡­ the people opposite were also observing zhang fen and the others. after they heard zhang song¡¯s words, their expressions became different. chen ming¡¯s eyes lit up. it was because he saw xia xue! chen ming smiled. ¡°so you¡¯re from class 2011. we¡¯re members of the student union. we¡¯re here to do something according to the school¡¯s requirements. i¡¯m the vice president of the student union, chen ming.¡± immediately, the crowd was filled with discussions and praises. ¡°so, it¡¯s the vice president of the student union.¡± ¡°the vice president can actually go to the forbidden area to do things. that¡¯s great.¡± ¡°if i had known earlier, i would¡¯ve joined the student union.¡± ¡­ chen ming listened to everyone¡¯s praises and envious gazes. the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly. he was very proud. he liked this feeling very much. Chapter 652 - 652 Chance Encounter; Stop Fighting! (2) 652 chance encounter; stop fighting! (2) then, chen ming showed a smile that he thought was handsome and said to xia xue, ¡°xia xue, what a coincidence. we meet again. ¡°do you like the forbidden area? when you become the department head in the future, i can bring you in too.¡± it had to be said that chen ming was really good at grasping people¡¯s hearts. first, he spoke warmly and acted like a gentleman. then, he mentioned benefits that ordinary people could not refuse. if it were someone else, they would definitely be easily played with. however, xia xue was different. she frowned slightly and suppressed the annoyance in her heart. ¡°is that so? however, i don¡¯t like the student union. i¡¯ll quit after a while. there are still a few members of the student union in our class. you can consider making them the department heads and then bring them to the forbidden area to do things.¡± after saying that, xia xue could not help but secretly look at lin fan. seeing that he did not show any expression, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief. chen ming was stunned. he did not expect xia xue to quit the student union. soon, his attention fell on lin fan beside xia xue. chen ming¡¯s eyes moved slightly, and he seemed to have some guesses in his heart. perhaps, lin fan wanted xia xue to withdraw from the student union thinking of this, chen ming¡¯s eyes flashed with anger. however, his face was still very warm as he said, ¡°xia xue, don¡¯t be in a hurry to withdraw from the student union. think about it again.¡± then, chen ming said, ¡°huh, lin fan?¡± there was a hint of surprise in his tone. it was as though he had just seen lin fan. ¡°isn¡¯t forbidden area no. 31 the place that class 2011 is exploring?¡± chen ming asked after a pause. ¡°why is lin fan here?¡± this sentence could not be said to have no ulterior motives. because chen ming had seen the list of xia xue¡¯s classmates a long time ago. there was no one called lin fan. lin fan did not belong to class 2011, but now he was with xia xue! one had to know¡­ every year, jiangbei university would organize students to explore the forbidden areas so that they could have the opportunity to master special abilities. however, generally speaking, they would enter the forbidden areas in units of classes. in addition, jiangbei university also strictly forbade anyone from entering the forbidden areas. once discovered, they would be severely punished. ¡°because i¡¯m in class 2011,¡± lin fan said casually. ¡°you¡¯re in class 2011?¡± chen ming¡¯s voice was filled with distrust as he cast a questioning gaze at zhang fen. ¡°lin fan transferred to our class this semester,¡± explained zhang fen. chen ming¡¯s heart grew colder. he was transferred to xia xue¡¯s class and was also xia xue¡¯s banquet companion. now, xia xue wanted to withdraw from the student union because of him. the more chen ming thought about it, the angrier he became. however, his face was full of smiles as he said, ¡°i see. class 2011 has xia xue, zheng zicong, and many of the student union members. they may become department heads or even the president of the student union in the future! ¡°i¡¯ve always felt that class 2011 has a very good environment to foster talents. you can also join the student union. perhaps, you¡¯ll have the chance to become a department head or the president of the student union. ¡°in this way, it will be easier to enter the forbidden area or find a job after graduation.¡± after he finished speaking, he could not help but raise his head like a superior, quietly waiting for his subordinates to flatter him. generally speaking, the vast majority of students either wanted to enter the forbidden areas and obtain strength that surpassed ordinary people or they wanted to graduate and find a good job so that they could earn a good income. chen ming directly brought up both benefits. to many people, it was definitely a great temptation. unfortunately, the person he met was lin fan. ¡°the student union has so many benefits?¡± lin fan asked. ¡°but i won¡¯t join the student union.¡± when chen ming heard the first half of the sentence, the smugness on his face became even stronger. he thought that lin fan was going to suck up to him. however, the second half of lin fan¡¯s sentence had him choking on his words. with so many benefits, why did he not want to join? chen ming coughed lightly and said, ¡°you don¡¯t have to reject me so quickly. there¡¯s no harm in considering it.¡± ¡­ in the live broadcast room¡­ rich wealth: [hahaha! i almost died laughing!] within shooting range: [i didn¡¯t expect lin fan to have such a humorous side.] happiness: [there¡¯ll be a chance to enter the forbidden areas if you join the student union? it would be easier to find a job? hey, hey, hey! the core members of the wang family of the imperial hotel can enter forbidden area no. 23. the wang family¡¯s family heads are so respectful to lin fan. how can he not enter? [as for work? the wang family is so respectful to lin fan. the employees of yuesse snow tea personally brought him drinks. why would he worry about work?] ten points: [student union president? those who don¡¯t know better would think that it was equal to the governor of some state.] ¡­ after chen ming was defeated by lin fan, he started talking to the class monitor, zhang fen. now, chen ming¡¯s matter had been settled, and there was nothing else to do. if he stayed in the forbidden area for a while longer, he might even encounter some opportunities. in addition, with his own ability and understanding of the forbidden area, he might be able to establish a better impression of himself in xia xue¡¯s heart. therefore, chen ming suggested that the student union officers return to school first while he explored the place with class 2011. regarding this, zhang fen naturally welcomed him extremely. this was because according to zhang fen¡¯s understanding, the vice president and president of the current student union possessed extraordinary strength or extraordinary abilities¡­ all in all, they were people with special abilities! in addition, chen ming was able to come to forbidden area no. 31 to do things, which meant that he knew this place very well. from these two points, not only would it ensure class 2011¡¯s safety, but it would also give them more opportunities to obtain the benefits of the forbidden area. sure enough, with the addition of chen ming, everyone¡¯s sense of security increased. chen ming was the first to discover the poisonous snake in just a few hours. in addition, he chased away a wild boar. the students who were almost injured thanked chen ming and praised him. gradually, chen ming became the most eye-catching person in class 2011. chen ming¡¯s chin kept rising. he was very satisfied with the students¡¯ reactions. he glanced at xia xue from time to time. there were a few times when chen ming had an illusion that xia xue often looked at him with admiration. chen ming could not help but feel even happier. he was extremely glad that he had decided to stay and explore with the students of class 2011. he rejoiced, but some people secretly gritted their teeth. one of them was li dongqiang. along the way, li dongqiang kept paying attention to his surroundings, just like yesterday. he also found traces of the poisonous snake and the wild boar, but his reaction speed was half a beat slower than chen ming. this led to chen ming solving the problems before him, which allowed him to receive a lot of thanks. that gratitude should have belonged to him, and he would have received a lot of gratitude tokens. gratitude represented gratitude tokens, and gratitude tokens represented strength! destroying a person¡¯s strength represented hatred, a great hatred! a person who was not from class 2011 had come to make enemies with him! li dongqiang was furious. night fell¡­ just like yesterday, all the students were lying in their sleeping bags. li dongqiang, lin fan, and xia xue were on duty last night, so they naturally did not need to be on duty today. chen ming had just joined the team today. moreover, he was somewhat considered a guest and did not need to be on duty. like most of the students, he was lying in his sleeping bags perhaps it was because he had eaten something bad during the day, chen ming had just laid down for a while when his stomach started to feel uncomfortable. he slowly got up, held his stomach, and quickly ran into the dark forest. at this moment, li dongqiang, who had his eyes closed and seemed to be in a deep sleep, suddenly opened his eyes. then, he quickly followed chen ming. not long after, there was a dull knocking sound and a low roar in the dark forest. ¡°who is it?¡± ¡°stop hitting! shit! i¡¯m gonna end up sitting on shit!¡± ¡°stop fighting!¡± ¡°ah!¡± ¡°we¡¯re done for!¡± the sounds¡­ gradually faded. the woods were silent. Chapter 653 - 653 Kind-Hearted; Regretful! 653 kind-hearted; regretful! the three students on duty seemed to have heard the sound and turned to look into the woods. however, it was early in the morning and the forest was dark. how could they see anything? the three of them looked at each other with puzzled expressions. after a moment of hesitation, the man in the black t-shirt said, ¡°should we go and take a look?¡± ¡°let¡¯s see,¡± the man in the checkered shirt on the left said hesitantly. ¡°then let¡¯s be careful,¡± the man on the right wearing silver-rimmed glasses said. thus, the three of them tiptoed forward slowly. however, after walking for a while, they did not find anything. ¡°there doesn¡¯t seem to be anything unusual,¡± said the man in the black t-shirt. ¡°it stinks. what¡¯s that?¡± the man with silver-rimmed glasses said. ¡°shit! f*ck! who pooped here? moreover, it¡¯s all over the place! it¡¯s as if they had rolled around in shit!¡± ¡°go, go quickly!¡± the man in the checkered shirt resisted the urge to vomit and shouted. compared to the caution and vigilance they had when they came here, where they had to look three times with every step they took, the three of them were sprinting now. they were eager to leave in the shortest time possible. at this moment, chen ming was hiding behind a big tree. he only heaved a sigh of relief when the three of them were far away. he looked at the yellow stains on his hand and could not help but retch. he said angrily, ¡°pray that i never find out who you are!¡± then, chen ming looked at the yellow stains on his clothes and retched again. ¡°my body is full of shit now. i can¡¯t let xia xue see me like this. i have to go back to the city to take a shower and change my clothes!¡± after saying that, he quickly turned around and ran into the forest. on the other hand, li dongqiang had quietly returned to his sleeping bag. he thought to himself, ¡®cutting off a person¡¯s future is like killing one¡¯s parents. i only beat him up and let him get smeared with a little shit. as expected, i¡¯m still very kind, hehe.¡¯ the corners of li dongqiang¡¯s mouth curled up slightly as he slowly entered a beautiful dream. he thought that what he did was very secretive and no one knew. in fact¡­ everything that had happened and even his thoughts were all seen and heard by lin fan. lin fan laughed in his heart, ¡®this li dongqiang is really interesting, hahaha!¡¯ instantly, lin fan¡¯s good impression of li dongqiang rose rapidly. li dongqiang still did not know how much benefit this good impression would bring him in the future. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, the next day arrived. after the students got out of their sleeping bags, they were as energetic as yesterday morning. they chatted with each other and laughed from time to time, looking very relaxed. ¡°our class 2011 is really lucky to have met vice president chen ming.¡± ¡°with vice president chen ming leading the way, our trip to the forbidden area will definitely be very safe. we might really be able to obtain some benefits.¡± as they spoke, they looked at chen ming¡¯s sleeping bag. however, they soon became confused. ¡°huh? where¡¯s vice president chen ming?¡± ¡°did he wake up so early?¡± ¡°i woke up very early and didn¡¯t see vice president chen ming.¡± ¡°what¡¯s wrong?¡± gradually, more and more people were puzzled. following that, someone suggested organizing students to look for chen ming. after all, it was definitely a big deal for someone to disappear for no reason. moreover, the person who disappeared was the vice president of the student union. at this moment, lin fan said, ¡°there¡¯s no need to look for him.¡± everyone looked at him in confusion. lin fan said, ¡°he left last night.¡± as he spoke, a 3d projection appeared in front of him. in the projection, there was an extremely disheveled man. it was chen ming. at this moment, chen ming¡¯s body was covered in yellow stains. then, he whispered, ¡°my body is full of shit now. i can¡¯t let xia xue see me like this. i have to go back to the city to take a shower and change my clothes!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, the entire scene fell silent. many of them were trembling, their faces were flushed red. they were on the verge of laughing out loud. in fact, when everyone saw the yellow stains on chen ming¡¯s body, they had some guesses in their hearts. however, after chen ming admitted it himself, the situation was obviously different. at this moment, the man in the checkered shirt whispered, ¡°yesterday, i figured someone had stepped on shit. so it was chen ming¡­¡± as his voice fell, the silence was finally broken. ¡°hahaha!¡± ¡°he was covered in shit.¡± ¡°hahahaha!¡± ¡°chen ming is so careless.¡± the few of them could not help but laugh out loud. their laughter seemed to have ignited the scene. gradually, everyone started laughing. after a while, zhang fen cleared his throat. he tried his best to suppress the urge to laugh and said, ¡°it¡¯s getting late. let¡¯s continue on our way.¡± without chen ming¡­ li dongqiang dealt with two snakes in the morning and received four words of thanks from his classmates, thus earning him four gratitude tokens. then, he used four gratitude tokens to draw the lottery and obtained 15 pounds worth of strength. li dongqiang felt the power growing in his body and could not help but feel that it was definitely the right thing to do to chase chen ming away. in the blink of an eye, a few days passed. in the past few days, li dongqiang had driven away two wild boars and two poisonous snakes. in addition, he had helped three female students carry their bags and helped a student on duty. as a result, he received 13 gratitude tokens. these 13 gratitude tokens had increased li dongqiang¡¯s strength by 40 pounds worth. they were still in the forest. all the students had a bit of dirt on their faces, except xia xue. even xia xue herself felt puzzled. why was it that after walking in the forbidden area for a few days, she did not feel tired at all and there was not a trace of dirt on her body? it was as if she had just arrived at the forbidden area. however, she did not feel too happy because of this. a look of faint regret hung on her beautiful face. lin fan could sense this and asked, ¡°xia xue, why do you seem a little unhappy? are you tired?¡± xia xue shook her head. ¡°i¡¯m not tired.¡± after a pause, she continued, ¡°it¡¯s just that¡­ i heard that there¡¯s a chance to become a special ability user in the forbidden area. there are only two days left before we leave the forbidden area, but we haven¡¯t found anything special yet. i¡¯m afraid we wasted this opportunity to enter the forbidden area.¡± after that, xia xue sighed secretly. a chance to become a special ability user? lin fan¡¯s eyes flickered. lin fan took in a deep breath. in the next moment, a hurricane suddenly appeared at the scene. then, a white energy that was visible to the naked eye rushed over and enveloped everyone. with every breath, everyone¡¯s strength would increase rapidly! everyone¡¯s hearts were beating like drums, filled with tyrannical power. Chapter 654 - 654 All Possess Special Abilities; Initial Fog! 654 all possess special abilities; initial fog! some people¡¯s veins were throbbing, and their muscles were bulging. water gathered above someone¡¯s head. someone was surrounded by flames. ¡­ these were all the marks of a special ability user. moreover, as time passed, the changes in the students became more and more obvious. among them, xia xue¡¯s change was the most significant. xia xue seemed to have a strong suction force and absorbed the white fog crazily. it even formed several visible whirlpools. gradually, xia xue¡¯s body burst out a gorgeous golden light¡ªpure and dazzling. a moment later, the white fog dissipated. all the students looked at each other, their faces blank. immediately after, there was unconcealable excitement. someone waved his hand casually and condensed a few drops of water in front of him. someone opened his mouth and spat out a wisp of flame. someone threw a punch, and the tree in front of him shook violently. ¡­ ¡°water attribute power!¡± ¡°fire attribute power!¡± ¡°i have great strength!¡± ¡°i have a special ability!¡± ¡°that¡¯s great!¡± everyone shouted excitedly and jumped around like children. xia xue rushed into lin fan¡¯s arms and said excitedly, ¡°i¡¯ve become a special ability user!¡± but soon, her face turned red and she quickly dodged to the side. lin fan looked at her shy face, and his lips curled up. he did not expect that such a thing could happen after gathering some energy. ¡­ in the live broadcast room¡­ countless comments kept rolling. youth never comes: [f*ck! what happened just now? all of them have special abilities?] sword wielding: [fire ability, water ability, earth ability, strength! i want to go to the forbidden area too. i want to become a special ability user too!] time traveler: [may i ask what exactly was that white fog?] heartthrob like the sea: [i want to get into jiangbei university! i want to study hard! if a friend wants to play games with me, i¡¯ll block them! if a beauty wants to watch a movie with me, i¡¯ll tell her to get lost!] song: [xia xue, what ability do you have?] emperor of emperors: [heavens! i¡¯m not envious at all. i just want to say, well done!] hello everyone: [my goal is to get into jiangbei university! i want to become a special ability user too!] ¡­ the purpose of class 2011 entering the forbidden area this time was for training. the second was to obtain special abilities. now, the students had already stayed in the forbidden area for several days. they had suffered some hardships and obtained some training. all of them had obtained special abilities too. it could be said that this trip to the forbidden area was complete. perhaps it was because they had obtained special abilities, but the fatigue on everyone¡¯s faces disappeared without a trace. in the next two days, the students chatted as they walked. they occasionally experienced their special abilities. the atmosphere was extremely relaxed. most of them were smiling¡ªexcept for li dongqiang. li dongqiang also inhaled the white fog and obtained a special ability. however, he had no chance to help his classmates anymore. if he could not help his classmates, he would not be able to get gratitude tokens. this scenario made him look like he wanted to laugh and sigh at the same time. ¡­ two days passed in a flash. a week of exploration in the forbidden area came to an end. at this moment, the form teacher, qin chuan, and the man in black were standing at the entrance of the forbidden area while chatting. ¡°how many people do you think will reach e-class from my class?¡± qin chuan asked. ¡°two people?¡± the man in black laughed. ¡°one person? maybe not even one.¡± ¡°how much did we say we would bet?¡± asked qin chuan. ¡°100 world coins? or 50 world coins?¡± the man in black laughed so hard that he almost choked. ¡°it¡¯s 20,000 world coins!¡± ¡°20,000?¡± qin chuan¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. he wanted to say something. suddenly, some sounds came from the forest not far away. ¡°they¡¯re back!¡± the man in black said. after a pause, he reminded him again, ¡°don¡¯t even think about going back on your word!¡± then, a large group of students gradually appeared. qin chuan quickly put away the frustration in his heart and swept his gaze over the students. seeing that not a single one of them was missing and that they did not seem to have suffered any injuries, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief. jiangbei university allowed some casualties in the forbidden area. however, regardless of whether it was because he was worried about trouble or because he cared about his students, qin chuan did not wish for such a thing to happen. when qin chuan saw the students, the students also saw him and quickened their pace. they ran toward qin chuan. then, all the students started shouting excitedly. ¡°teacher, i have a special ability!¡± ¡°teacher, i¡¯ve mastered the fire ability!¡± ¡°i can control soil!¡± ¡°i can condense water!¡± ¡­ the students shouted as they used their corresponding abilities. instantly, qin chuan and the black-robed man¡¯s mouths were agape. their faces were filled with shock. under normal circumstances, just like what the man in black said, at most, two or three people would become e-class special ability users. qin chuan said that there would be more than five of them, which was definitely a rare sight. as for how difficult it was, in the past ten years, no class had ever achieved that. therefore, even though qin chuan owed the men in black 10,000 world coins, the black-robed man still agreed to continue betting with qin chuan. after all, it was a bargain to get 20,000 world coins just like that. in the end, what was the situation now? everyone in the class had become a special ability user! they could even vaguely sense that a small number of students were not only the lowest e-class special ability users but had also become d-class or even c-class! what was going on? after a long while, qin chuan finally reacted and stuttered, ¡°ah¡­ not bad.¡± not bad? how could this be considered not bad? it was simply a miracle! ¡°how did you guys obtain these special abilities?¡± asked qin chuan. hence, zhang feng explained the general situation. when he mentioned the sudden appearance of the white fog, the pupils of qin chuan and the black-robed man constricted. they exclaimed in surprise, ¡°initial fog!¡± ¡°teacher, what¡¯s the initial fog?¡± many students pricked up their ears. clearly, they were also filled with curiosity. qin chuan thought for a moment and said, ¡°it¡¯s said that a thousand years ago, the great lin fan encountered a mysterious white ball and suffered a terrifying attack. he died on the spot. ¡°it was also at that time that a thick white fog suddenly appeared in hua nation. ¡°it was this white fog that gave many people special abilities. there are even legends that two people became immortals because they inhaled a lot of white fog!¡± at this point, qin chuan¡¯s eyes revealed a look of admiration and admiration. then, he continued, ¡°this white fog is known as the initial fog!¡± Chapter 655 - 655 Discussion; Questioning! 655 discussion; questioning! the initial fog had given many people special abilities. it had even allowed two of them to become immortals! the students¡¯ faces were filled with yearning and excitement. now that they had also inhaled the initial fog, would they also have the chance to become immortals? if only they had inhaled a little more just now. ¡°lin fan? i suddenly remember that you have the same name as that great man,¡± li dongqiang said. the surrounding people could not help but cast a strange look. however, everyone¡¯s expressions quickly returned to normal. after all, the name lin fan was too ordinary. there were at least 8,000 people with the same name in the world. it could not be that the lin fan in front of them was the great man from a thousand years ago, right? obviously, this was impossible. however, they did not know that what they thought was impossible was the truth. qin chuan cleared his throat and said, ¡°your one-week trip to the forbidden area is now over. now, take the hover bus back to jiangbei university.¡± ¡°yes, teacher!¡± all the students responded in unison. the hover bus made a soft sound and moved forward quickly along the winding road. qin chuan and the man in black looked at each other after watching the hover bus leave. then, the two of them turned into afterimages and rushed into the depths of the forbidden area. about half an hour later, the two of them finally arrived at the area where the white fog had appeared. ¡°what pure energy.¡± the man in black looked around and frowned slightly. ¡°but it doesn¡¯t make sense. this place has long been explored, but there were no spiritual veins or spiritual objects in the surroundings. why did the fog appear?¡± qin chuan also looked around. however, he did not think as hard as the man in black. instead, he laughed out loud and said, ¡°perhaps it¡¯s a moving spirit vein, or perhaps it was spiritual energy that descended from the sky¡­ there are many unexplainable things in this world, so why bother?¡± ¡°so¡­ our bet is 100,000 world coins, right?¡± as qin chuan spoke, he could not help but rub his hands together. ¡°what 100,000 world coins?¡± the man in black said angrily. ¡°it¡¯s 20,000 world coins!¡± ¡°really?¡± qin chuan asked. ¡°only 20,000?¡± the man in black looked at his suspicious gaze and wanted to punch him. he was the one wanted to go back on their word and asked if it was 100 world coins or 50 world coins. now that he won, he said it was 100,000 world coins? qin chuan seemed to have sensed the unfriendly gaze of the black-robed man. he waved his hand and said, ¡°alright, alright. 20,000 world coins it is. transfer it! you won¡¯t go back on your word, will you?¡± the man in black did not say anything and transferred 20,000 world coins to him. ¡°many thanks!¡± qin chuan smiled. after saying that, he turned into an afterimage and headed straight out of the forbidden area. at this moment, the man in black suddenly thought of something and shouted, ¡°qin chuan, you still owe me 10,000 world coins!¡± however, qin chuan was nowhere to be seen. ¡°qin chuan, don¡¯t run!¡± the man in black shouted. as soon as he finished speaking, he also ran out of the forbidden area. ¡­ the news that everyone in class 2011 had become special ability users spread like wildfire throughout the entire jiangbei university. ¡°have you heard? class 2011 all have special abilities!¡± ¡°of course, i heard it! also, i know that the reason why the students of class 2011 all have special abilities is because they met the legendary god!¡± ¡°they encountered a god? but why did i hear that it was because of a spirit mine?¡± ¡°how can it be a spirit mine?! that was a rumor spread by others! there are also some spirit mines in this world, but have you ever heard of anyone who got special abilities after encountering a spirit mine? i don¡¯t think so!¡± ¡°that¡¯s true¡­¡± ¡°so they must¡¯ve met a god!¡± ¡­ at first, all the students of jiangbei university were envious. soon, they began to discuss the reason why the students of class 2011 became special ability users. some said that they had encountered spirit mines, some said that they had encountered immortals, and some said that they had encountered spirit fruits¡­ all kinds of explanations sounded reasonable in their ears. it was as if they had seen it happen with their own eyes. it had to be said that a person¡¯s imagination and ability to make up stories were really rich. following that, many people began to apply to the school to enter forbidden area no. 31. because, no matter what the reason was, they thought they could obtain special abilities too since everyone in class 2011 made it happen! of course, all of this was in vain. ¡­ today, chen ming wore a white shirt. he had already thrown his clothes in the forbidden area into the trash can. chen ming was gently tasting the green tea in his hand. at this moment, liu wei from class 2011 walked over slowly. when he saw chen ming, he seemed to have recalled the scene of chen ming being covered in poop and could not help but laugh. when chen ming saw this, he could not help but frown slightly. he said in a deep voice, ¡°liu wei, you¡¯ve been doing a good job in the student union. now that you¡¯ve become a special ability user, you have a high chance of becoming a high-ranking member of the student union in the future.¡± when liu wei heard this, his heart could not help but beat faster. he had indeed become a special ability user. however, he was only the most ordinary strength ability user. moreover, his strength did not increase much. in this way, becoming a high-ranking member of the student union was extremely attractive to him. ¡°thank you for your appreciation, vice president chen!¡± liu wei said excitedly. an unhappy expression flashed across chen ming¡¯s face. vice president chen? if it were in the past, he would have told liu wei to get lost. but now, he still had things to understand. chen ming pretended to be indifferent. ¡°i heard that everyone in class 2011 has a special ability? can you tell me what happened?¡± therefore, liu wei told him everything that had happened from beginning to end. chen ming could not help but fall into deep thought. initial fog! he had heard this name before. this was something that only existed in legends. he did not expect to appear in forbidden area no. 31! if he had not been plotted against, he could have also absorbed the initial fog and increase the level of his special ability! damn it, damn it! when chen ming thought of this, he could not help but clench his fists. he swore in his heart that he would definitely teach the person who ambushed him an unforgettable lesson. ¡°also, uhh¡­¡± liu wei secretly looked at chen ming and stammered. ¡°just say it directly,¡± chen ming said lightly. ¡°we, the student union officials, don¡¯t like to hide things.¡± when liu wei heard this, he said, ¡°when we were in the forbidden area, lin fan played a 3d projection video in front of everyone. in the video¡­¡± speaking up to this point, liu wei secretly glanced at chen ming. this time, he continued, ¡°in the video, you were hiding behind a small hill in a very sorry state. moreover, your body seemed to be¡­ covered in a lot of dirty things.¡± chen ming¡¯s head suddenly exploded. a 3d projection was played in public! ¡®lin fan, you¡¯re courting death!¡¯ chen ming¡¯s anger erupted! Chapter 656 - 656 Help; Answer the Question! 656 help; answer the question! dozens of people in class 2011, including xia xue, saw the scene of his body being covered in shit! chen ming could almost imagine how many people would laugh at him in the future. liu wei seemed to feel the different atmosphere and could not help but shiver. he said nervously, ¡°vice president chen, uh¡­ if there¡¯s nothing else, i¡¯ll go back first.¡± chen ming only nodded indifferently. liu wei did not dare to say anything more and hurriedly turned around to leave. then, chen ming took out his phone and made a call. ¡°uncle jiahua, help me kill someone¡­¡± ¡­ in the blink of an eye, it was the second day. on the first day of school, qin chuan only casually said a few words on the podium before starting the week-long trip to the forbidden area. therefore, strictly speaking¡­ this was the first time lin fan was going to class after a thousand years. the first class was a current affairs class. it mainly explained the major events that had happened recently. the teacher systematically analyzed and explained them. this kind of model was not bad. it allowed the students to not study too hard. the second period was advanced mathematics. although there were some formulas added to higher mathematics, there was still not much improvement. lin fan listened for a while and shook his head, looking a little disappointed. after all, it had been a thousand years. it was a pity that mathematics, the most basic subject, had not developed much. standing on the podium, the teacher wearing silver-rimmed glasses. he noticed lin fan¡¯s expression. he still wanted to understand the new student¡¯s mathematics comprehension, so he said, ¡°lin fan, use what i just said to answer this question.¡± the teacher with the silver-rimmed glasses casually pointed, and a 3d projection question appeared on lin fan¡¯s desk. it had to be said that with 3d projection technology, many things were indeed more convenient. xia xue¡¯s heart tightened slightly and she looked at lin fan worriedly. clearly, she was afraid that lin fan would not know how to answer. lin fan smiled and gave her a reassuring look. then, he quickly wrote on the 3d projection. d/dx[f£¨x£©dx]=f£¨x)¡­ lim£¨a+c)+lim(b+c)¡­ lin fan did not even need to think about it and easily answered the question. the teacher with silver-rimmed glasses standing on the podium nodded in satisfaction and said, ¡°lin fan, your answer is not bad. it seems like you¡¯ve already understood everything i explained¡­¡± lin fan said, ¡°actually, this answer is a little troublesome. there are other simpler algorithms.¡± ¡°oh?¡± the teacher with silver-rimmed glasses said with interest, ¡°explain it to me.¡± lin fan did not hesitate and continued writing on the 3d projection. d/dx[f£¨x£©dx]=f£¨x)¡­ at first, the teacher with the silver-rimmed glasses had a very calm expression. during this time, he even drank a mouthful of tea. but gradually, he began to frown. even after lin fan used a new method to solve the question, his brows did not relax. after a while, he said, ¡°you used method a for the fifth step, right? ¡°it¡¯s not bad to learn extra-cursory knowledge. however, method a hasn¡¯t been proven yet, so it can¡¯t be directly used as a theorem. therefore, your algorithm is strictly wrong. ¡°of course, you¡¯re not bad either. you deserve encouragement. continue to work hard!¡± after the teacher with the silver-rimmed glasses finished speaking, he looked at lin fan with admiration. ¡°method a? a+b..?¡± ¡°yes.¡± the teacher with silver-rimmed glasses nodded. however, his face revealed a touch of doubt. from lin fan¡¯s tone, could it be that he did not know about method a? then why did he use this formula directly? it was strange. lin fan muttered, ¡°this formula hasn¡¯t been proven yet?¡± he shook his head slightly and continued writing on the 3d projection. a+b+c+d¡­ sina+cosb+¡­ the teacher with the silver-rimmed glasses looked at lin fan writing the calculations again and could not help but reveal a puzzled expression. but soon, he seemed to have thought of something. the teacher with the silver-rimmed glasses quickly took out a folding display screen and searched. in the next moment, his pupils constricted slightly. then, he looked at lin fan in shock. the students of class 2011 looked at their teacher¡¯s serious expression. they did not know what lin fan was writing. however, they all turned their attention to lin fan. unknowingly, the atmosphere in the classroom became tense. suddenly, lin fan stopped writing. the teacher¡¯s pupils constricted. he could not help but say, ¡°this¡­ was it confirmed? method a has been verified?¡± he looked at the incomparably complicated 3d projection algorithm from beginning to end but realized that it was not something that he could easily verify. he hurriedly said, ¡°everyone, don¡¯t move!¡± most of the time, chaos was a cause of concern. however, the 3d projection in the classroom had already been automatically saved. what did it matter whether the students moved or not? then, the teacher with silver-rimmed glasses quickly made a call. soon, an old man with slightly white hair appeared in front of him. ¡°chu zhi, what¡¯s the matter?¡± the old man asked. ¡°professor huang, are you free now?¡± chu zhi asked. ¡°i have to attend a meeting in ten minutes,¡± professor huang said. ¡°professor huang, someone has proven method a.¡± ¡°who? where was it published?¡± professor huang hurriedly asked. obviously, he was very concerned about method a. ¡°it hasn¡¯t been published yet. he just wrote it down in the classroom.¡± after saying that, he turned the camera. instantly, the proof process of method a written by lin fan appeared in professor huang¡¯s video. ¡°chu zhi, bring it closer!¡± professor huang quickly shouted. ¡°forget it, forget it. where are you? i¡¯ll come over now!¡± ¡°i¡¯m in the classroom of class 2011,¡± chu zhi said hurriedly. ¡°alright,¡± professor huang said. then, he hung up the phone. a moment later, professor huang ran out. a young man walked over with a stack of documents and said, ¡°professor huang, i¡¯ve prepared the materials. shall we go to the conference room now?¡± ¡°you can attend this meeting in my place,¡± professor huang said. ¡°what? then you¡­¡± the young man was surprised. ¡°i have more important things to do!¡± after professor huang finished speaking, he quickly ran into the distance. ¡­ not long after, professor huang arrived at class 2011¡¯s classroom. he did not even look at chu zhi or the students in the classroom. instead, he focused all his attention on method a. he did not make any sound, as if he was worried that the sound would shatter the 3d projection. seeing him like this, the students could not help but become cautious. they did not even dare to make a sound when they swallowed their saliva. about half an hour later, professor huang suddenly shouted excitedly, ¡°good, that¡¯s great!¡± Chapter 657 - 657 Mecha; Discovered! 657 mecha; discovered! professor huang¡¯s voice was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, setting off waves. ¡°really?¡± chu zhi asked. ¡°has it been proven?¡± ¡°at least, i didn¡¯t find any major problems,¡± professor huang said. ¡°of course, the specific steps and details still need to be checked.¡± ¡°oh right, who is it? who wrote the proof of method a?¡± ¡°he¡¯s a student from our class, lin fan,¡± said chu zhi. after saying that, he looked up at lin fan. in fact¡­ not only was chu zhi looking at lin fan, but everyone in the class was also looking at him. professor huang looked over. when he saw lin fan¡¯s young and handsome appearance, he said, ¡°good, good, good!¡± three ¡®good¡¯s in a row were enough to express the excitement in his heart. firstly, it was because lin fan was a student at jiangbei university. secondly, lin fan was young! this meant that jiangbei university had produced a very promising math genius! professor huang said, ¡°student lin fan, are you interested in becoming my graduate student?¡± as soon as he said this, everyone present had a look of envy on their faces. among them¡­ this included their teacher, chu zhi. this was because professor huang from jiangbei university was the most important person in the entire mathematics world! all these years, he had never taught any students. now, he wanted lin fan to be his graduate student. if lin fan wanted to develop in the mathematics world in the future, then it could be said that he would reach the heavens in a single step. however, lin fan said calmly, ¡°i¡¯m sorry. i think it¡¯s good enough for me to be in class 2011.¡± professor huang¡¯s student? what a joke! professor huang might be quite famous in the mathematics world. however, so what? he could not even prove the simple method a. besides, professor huang was a mathematics professor at jiangbei university. in a sense, he could be considered lin fan¡¯s own student. what was more, the reason why lin fan came to jiangbei university was entirely because he wanted to be classmates with xia xue. the students and chu zhi were all stunned. they did not expect lin fan to reject them. this was professor huang! professor huang, on the other hand, did not have much of a reaction. he nodded slightly. ¡°it¡¯s indeed a little unfair to be my student. in the future, we¡¯ll be like friends. we¡¯ll discuss and communicate. what do you think?¡± lin fan said, ¡°if i¡¯m not busy, sure.¡±¡± after all, professor huang was his student. it did not matter if he helped him when he was free. however, these words gave everyone a different feeling. lin fan was a little too¡­ proud. professor huang did not take it to heart. he smiled and said, ¡°then it¡¯s a deal!¡± then, he made a copy of the proof process of method a and prepared to go back and check it carefully. the math class was a small interlude. next was the mecha class. in today¡¯s world, technology was advanced, and there were people with special abilities¡­ however, it was not as peaceful as it seemed. there were powerful beasts that ran out of the forbidden area, terrifying special ability users, technological criminals, and at the same time, there was war! this made everyone need to have a certain degree of self-protection ability. hence, mecha classes came into being. at this moment, everyone in class 2011 had arrived at the incomparably empty field. the teacher with the buzz cut and a strong body named hawkins said, ¡°today is the mecha shooting class! everyone, get into your mechas!¡± following that, a red mechas about three meters tall appeared in front of everyone. seeing this¡­ lin fan could not help but reveal an expression of interest. it was cool and tall. any mecha, if it was a thousand years ago, would definitely be the gundam that was loved by many people! now, real mechas were all neatly arranged in front of him. at this moment, the hatch in front of the mechas opened, and the students stepped forward. lin fan followed suit and walked in. the temperature inside the mecha was moderate and very comfortable. a halo appeared above his head. this was a mental connection device similar to a gaming helmet. this would allow the mechas to move freely like their own limbs. at this moment, a row of targets appeared in the middle of the field. ¡°no. 1, shoot!¡± ¡°bang!¡± a hole immediately appeared on the third circle of the target. ¡°no. 2, shoot!¡± ¡°no. 3, shoot!¡± ¡­ as hawkins shouted, holes appeared on the targets. soon, it was lin fan¡¯s turn. ¡°no. 12, shoot!¡± the super smart watch on lin fan¡¯s wrist made a crisp sound. ¡°master, do you need me to lock onto the bullseye?¡± lin fan said, ¡°no need, i¡¯ll shoot.¡± then, he slightly focused his attention. the shot hit the bullseye! hawkins could not help but look at lin fan a few more times and nodded his head. ¡°no. 13, shoot!¡± ¡­ a day of classes passed in the blink of an eye. in the past, lin fan only felt that the teachers¡¯ lectures were like a lullaby that could make him fall asleep easily. the curriculum of the current world gave lin fan a fresh feeling. the setting sun dyed the distant sky scarlet. it was ferocious and terrifying! lin fan walked alone on the long path, maintaining a constant speed. a gentle breeze blew past, causing the branches to sway gently. the leaves kept falling. the next moment, lin fan turned around and looked at a forest not too far away. in the forest, a man who was hiding in a silver mecha and observing lin fan quietly. he was slightly shocked. he had been spotted? attack! then, the man no longer hesitated. with a slight thought, he fired the bullet. ¡°hmm? what happened?¡± the bullet did not fire as smoothly as he had expected. just as the man was feeling puzzled, lin fan, who was originally a few hundred meters away, suddenly appeared in front of him. lin fan sized up the mecha. he looked like he was looking at a large toy. lin fan nodded, ¡°it looks good.¡± ¡°i wanted to take it apart during class. i wanted to buy one, but now i can save that bit of money.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, lin fan stretched out his hand and grabbed at the entrance. the steel door suddenly shattered like a bubble. under the man¡¯s shocked gaze, lin fan pulled him out and threw him on the ground. then, lin fan ignored the man. instead, he began to disassemble the mecha. not long after, the tall and cool mecha was reduced to a pile of broken parts. at this moment, lin fan remembered that the man who wanted to kill him was still beside him. ¡°who sent you here?¡± he asked. his voice was very calm. however, it made the man feel the temperature drop. he could not help but shiver. Chapter 658 - 658 Revenge Must Be Taken; The Heavenly Hound Appears! 658 revenge must be taken; the heavenly hound appears! the setting sun was like fire, but it made the man feel like he was in the middle of winter. awe-inspiring and cold¡­ his entire body trembled. even though lin fan was just a young man, in the man¡¯s eyes, he was like a bloodthirsty god of death. he opened his mouth and stammered, ¡°you¡­ you¡¯ve misunderstood¡­¡± lin fan did not say anything else and snapped his fingers. the man was like a balloon, instantly bursting into a bloody mist. the man did not say anything. however, he already knew the answer in his heart. ¡®what kind of terrifying existence did boss chen ask me to kill? what should we do now?¡¯ those who killed would be killed! lin fan naturally would not hold back. at this moment, the phone on the ground vibrated. lin fan tapped it, and a low voice rang out. ¡°has it been resolved?¡± lin fan said, ¡°i¡¯m afraid i¡¯ll have to disappoint you.¡± ¡°who are you?¡± the voice on the phone suddenly turned cold. ¡°lin fan,¡± lin fan said. ¡°you¡¯re actually capable of killing my people. who are you?¡± the voice on the phone was extremely low. lin fan said, ¡°you¡¯ll see me soon.¡± ¡°is that so? then i¡¯ll wait for you!¡± after saying that, he hung up the phone. lin fan looked at the super smart watch on his wrist and said, ¡°little white!¡± ¡°master, i¡¯ve already locked onto his identity and location.¡± the super smart watch flickered slightly and made a very clear sound. then, a 3d projection appeared in front of lin fan. it contained all kinds of information about boss chen, including his family, company, projects, and so on. for an ordinary person, even if they wanted to finish reading all this information, they would probably have to spend a very long time. however, lin fan took a single glance and memorized all the information. ¡°chen ming?¡± lin fan said, ¡°is the mastermind chen ming?¡± he had interacted with chen ming twice. the first time was at the student union¡¯s gala, where the two of them played the piano. the second time was in forbidden area no. 31. chen ming stayed behind to explore with class 2011. later, when chen ming was taking a dump, he was beaten up by someone, causing him to be covered in shit. lin fan recorded everything down. in a sense, chen ming also had a grudge against li dongqiang. however, lin fan did not really care about that. he only looked at the results. chen ming wanted to kill him! lin fan did not like chen ming to begin with. now, he had attacked him. in that case, he definitely could not let it go. then, lin fan stepped out. his entire person instantly disappeared from where he was. ¡­ at this moment, in a slightly dark basement. chen weiqiang frowned and said, ¡°who exactly did chen ming offend?¡± the next moment, a tall and handsome young man suddenly appeared in front of him. it was lin fan! ¡°why are you here?¡± chen weiqiang asked in surprise. lin fan said indifferently, ¡°is your memory bad? i just said that we¡¯d meet soon.¡± then, he snapped his fingers again. chen weiqiang exploded instantly, turning into wisps of blood mist. following that, lin fan¡¯s body flashed once more. ¡­ at this moment, in fenghua club. chen ming walked into the private room with a voluptuous woman in his arms. without a word, he violently pressed down on the woman¡¯s head. he had been like this for the past few days. he needed to vent all the humiliation he endured in the forbidden area. ¡°lin fan, are you dead?¡± chen ming said sternly. ¡°you must¡¯ve died a horrible death!¡± ¡°unfortunately, i¡¯ve disappointed you.¡± an indifferent voice suddenly sounded behind him. when chen ming heard this, he could not help but shiver. ¡°why are you here?¡± he asked in surprise. lin fan could not help but say, ¡°your chen family doesn¡¯t seem to be much. unfortunately, it won¡¯t end well for you.¡± chen ming¡¯s body suddenly exploded, and blood spurted out. the gorgeous woman, who was originally puzzled, could not help but let out an ear-piercing scream when she saw this. however, this cry only reverberated within half a meter of her. it was as if her entire body was isolated in an invisible thick glass. lin fan pointed out casually, and the gorgeous woman fainted. with that, lin fan took a step forward and disappeared from where he was. when the gorgeous woman woke up, she had completely forgotten what had happened. she muttered to herself in a daze, ¡°why am i here?¡± ¡­ lin fan did not continue his killing spree. after all, no one else had provoked him yet. in the blink of an eye, it was the second day. today, the heavenly hound tattoo on lin fan¡¯s arm started to squirm. in the next moment, a large dog about two meters long appeared in front of him. it was the heavenly hound. when the heavenly hound saw lin fan, it could not help but wag its tail happily. obviously, it was very happy. this was normal. one had to know¡­ a thousand years ago, the heavenly hound had established a contract with lin fan. during these 1,000 years, lin fan had been absorbing the energy of the orb of light. the heavenly hound had been by his side the entire time. in other words, lin fan and the heavenly hound had been together for a thousand years. a thousand-year-old friendship surpassed everything! when lin fan caught sight of the heavenly hound, he smiled and said, ¡°heavenly hound, you¡¯re finally awake.¡± ¡°master, i missed you so much.¡± after signing the contract, lin fan was the owner of the heavenly hound! as soon as he finished speaking, the heavenly hound stuck out its tongue and was about to lick lin fan. lin fan dodged to the side and said, ¡°this is earth, which is also where i live. shrink yourself to this size, and then behave yourself.¡± the place where master lived? the heavenly hound¡¯s eyes lit up. it shrunk its body and looked around curiously. lin fan patted its head and said, ¡°alright, let¡¯s go.¡± today, jiangbei university was as lively as usual. lin fan walked through the green path and walked past the basketball court. he went straight to the classroom of class 2011. at this moment, a man with a ponytail called qiao kai was walking into the classroom with a four-eyed dog that was half the height of a person. a thousand years ago, animals were generally not allowed to enter the classroom. however, there was no such rule in the current world. this was because animals were no longer just pets. they were partners and comrades! the classroom was immediately filled with gasps of admiration. ¡°it¡¯s a four-eyed hell hound!¡± ¡°that¡¯s so cool!¡± ¡°this is my first time seeing a four-eyed hell hound in real life!¡± ¡­ qiao kai heard everyone¡¯s praises and felt extremely happy in his heart. ¡°qiao kai, where did you get this four-eyed hell hound?¡± someone asked. ¡°my dad gave it to me after he found out that i became a special ability user in forbidden area no. 31,¡± qiao kai said with a smile. ¡°you obtained the earth attribute ability,¡± someone beside him said. ¡°with the addition of the four-eyed hell hound, your strength will definitely increase by several times!¡± Chapter 659 - 659 Beast Tide; Strength Rankings! 659 beast tide; strength rankings! while many students were praising him, a strange voice sounded. ¡°is this four-eyed hell hound really that powerful?¡± as li dongqiang spoke, he sized up the four-eyed hell hound from top to bottom, from left to right. qiao kai raised his head and said, ¡°it¡¯s not too powerful. it¡¯s only at the level of a d-class special ability user.¡± although it was not too impressive, the smugness in his tone was obvious. ¡°really?¡± li dongqiang touched his chin and said. at this moment, a series of brisk footsteps sounded from outside the corridor. xia xue, who was standing by the door, casually glanced at the door. her beautiful eyes lit up. that was because a tall and handsome figure appeared in front of him. it was lin fan! beside lin fan¡¯s feet was a small white dog. xia xue¡¯s beautiful eyes brightened a little, and she said with a smile, ¡°what a cute puppy.¡± as she spoke, she lowered her head and wanted to stroke the heavenly hound¡¯s head. one had to know¡­ a thousand years ago, the heavenly hound was already a level-eight exotic beast. over the past thousand years, lin fan had been absorbing the energy of the orb of light. the heavenly hound had been by his side, and it had also benefited greatly. the current heavenly hound could even become a king and emperor without any problems. how could it be touched by ordinary people? it was about to refuse. at this moment, lin fan¡¯s voice rang out in the heavenly hound¡¯s mind. ¡°let her touch you.¡± the aura around the heavenly hound suddenly withdrew, allowing xia xue to stroke it. ¡°lin fan, is this your dog?¡± li dongqiang asked curiously. ¡°is it a mutated beast or an ordinary dog?¡± lin fan said, ¡°i don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°what a coincidence,¡± li dongqiang said to himself. ¡°you and qiao kai both brought dogs today.¡± the heavenly hound looked in the direction that li dongqiang was pointing at, and its face was full of disdain. it was this glance that scared the four-eyed hell hound so much that its limbs went limp and it fell to the ground. this was normal¡­ the four-eyed hell hound was only a d-class exotic beast, much weaker than the heavenly hound when it was young. furthermore, the heavenly hound could call itself a king or an emperor. an emperor¡¯s gaze was as heavy as a mountain! li dongqiang also noticed this and smiled. ¡°qiao kai, why is your four-eyed hell hound crawling on the ground? could it be that it has diarrhea, so it has lost its strength? is it really a four-eyed hell hound?¡± qiao kai also felt a little embarrassed and shouted, ¡°big black, big black, quickly get up!¡± however, no matter how he shouted and dragged it, the four-eyed hell hound did not get up. after the bell rang, the math teacher strode in. he first gave lin fan a warm smile and then started today¡¯s lesson. the day¡¯s lessons passed in the blink of an eye. the sun gradually set, dyeing the entire sky red. at this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from outside the corridor. then, qin chuan, walked in quickly. he glanced at the students in the class and said, ¡°according to the news, a large number of exotic beasts have been gathering in jiangbei since last night! ¡°this is an extremely rare and terrifying beast tide! of course, we don¡¯t have to worry too much because the xia alliance has already sent out special ability teams to defend. they¡¯ll definitely be able to stop the beast tide outside the city. ¡°however, there¡¯s still a possibility that a small number of exotic beasts have slipped through the net and entered jiangbei. it¡¯s very dangerous! therefore, jiangbei has activated the emergency plan. ¡°from now on, unless absolutely necessary, try not to leave the school.¡± hearing this, everyone in the class could not help but feel their hearts beating faster. some people were excited, but more people were afraid. qin chuan seemed to have something to deal with, so he left the classroom after he finished speaking. only the students in the classroom were left looking at each other. then, they carefully walked out. jiangbei university, third floor of block 8, the male dormitory. a thousand years ago, most of the student dormitories had four people in a room. the current student dormitory had become a luxurious smart suite with two bedrooms and one living room. as soon as lin fan entered the dormitory, a sweet-looking android came over and said in an extremely clear voice, ¡°welcome home. would you like something to drink?¡± ¡°no need,¡± lin fan said. zhang wenzhuo, who had returned to the dormitory first, said, ¡°lin fan, you¡¯re finally back in the dormitory. ¡°you don¡¯t know how lonely i¡¯ve been in the dormitory these past few days!¡± as he spoke, he was about to give lin fan a big bear hug. however, lin fan¡¯s body turned slightly to the side. zhang wenzhuo could not help but feel a little embarrassed. he quickly turned his attention to the heavenly hound and said, ¡°when i was in class, i wanted to touch it. now, i finally have the chance, hehe!¡± zhang wenzhuo bent down and reached out to stroke the heavenly hound¡¯s head. the reason why xia xue could touch the heavenly hound was because of lin fan¡¯s instructions. zhang wenzhuo did not have such good treatment. the heavenly hound twisted its body and easily dodged to the side. ¡°little dog, i have a lot of delicious food here. come over to me¡­¡± zhang wenzhuo said. however, the heavenly hound just stood in the distance and watched him perform as if he was a monkey. it did not move at all. zhang wenzhuo could not help but feel helpless. so, he straightened his back and said, ¡°lin fan, jiangbei was just fine before. why is there a beast tide all of a sudden?¡± ¡°didn¡¯t this happen in jiangbei before?¡± asked lin fan. zhang wenzhuo thought for a moment and said, ¡°i don¡¯t think so. at least, i don¡¯t have any impression of it, and i haven¡¯t seen any similar news.¡± lin fan nodded his head and looked out of the dark window into the distance. ¡­ at this moment, many men and women wearing black cloaks who were emitting extraordinary auras gathered together. the middle-aged man in the red cloak, qin zhong, said, ¡°dahai, where¡¯s the tide of mutated beasts? how many are there?¡± li dahai, who was also wearing a red cloak, stood next to him. a dazzling golden light shot out from his forehead. instantly, the exotic beasts in the mountains, fields, and rivers all appeared in his field of vision. after a while, the golden glow between li dahai¡¯s eyebrows slowly dissipated. he said in a deep voice, ¡°the beast tide is only about 30 kilometers away from here. it¡¯s probably close to 100,000! moreover, it¡¯s still increasing!¡± as soon as he said that, the atmosphere immediately became gloomy. everyone knew what this data meant. ¡°no matter what, we must defend!¡± qin zhong took a deep breath and said. ¡°in addition, i¡¯ve already transferred 100 super laser weapons and a large number of reinforcements. they¡¯re already on their way!¡± at this moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in the originally dark night. these golden lights continuously condensed and twisted¡­ gradually, they turned into three large golden words¡ª¡¯strength rankings¡¯! Chapter 660 - 660 Appearance; Anticipation! 660 appearance; anticipation! these three golden words were like three suns hanging in the sky. they were absolutely dazzling. this quickly attracted the attention of many people. they all began to discuss. ¡°strength rankings? is this a 3d projection, or something similar to the previous wealthy rankings?¡± ¡°the last ranking allowed the top ten tycoons to increase their lifespan and obtain special abilities. i wonder how they¡¯ll be ranked this time and what they¡¯ll obtain.¡± ¡°strength rankings! this is even more interesting than the wealth rankings. i wonder who will be on the rankings?¡± ¡°i¡¯m looking forward to the reveal.¡± ¡­ finally, the golden light gathered again and turned into lines of words. [tenth place: sun shan.] [reward: ten years of lifespan, and 10% increase in special abilities.] ¡­ at this moment, in a very artistic training room¡­ an old man with long snow-white hair suddenly opened his eyes. at the same time, a terrifying aura surged out like a tsunami. then, the old man¡¯s snow-white hair gradually turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye. the old man raised his hand and waved, forming a ferocious dragon head from wind. the dragon roared, and the three sandbags in the distance shattered like bubbles. a huge hole appeared in the wall behind them. the old man looked at his hands in surprise and said happily,¡±this feeling is really not bad!¡± when the guards outside heard the sound, they hurriedly ran over. ¡°old master, are you alright?¡± they said nervously. at the same time, they kept looking around, trying to find traces of the enemy. ¡°there¡¯s no need to look,¡± the old man said. ¡°there are no enemies.¡± at this moment, the middle-aged man who was standing at the front said in surprise, ¡°old master, your hair¡­¡± ¡°i¡¯ve become younger and stronger,¡± the old man said. then, he looked out of the window and focused his gaze on the strength rankings in the air. ¡­ many people raised their heads to look at the sky and began to discuss. ¡°the tenth place on the strength rankings is out!¡± ¡°sun shan? could this be the founder of the gate of limits? heavens, he¡¯s still alive?¡± ¡°a few decades ago, sun shan could knock down a tall building with one punch. now, after so many years, he has even seen a 10% increase of his special abilities. how strong is he now?¡± ¡­ [ninth place: lei sen.] [reward: 20 years of lifespan, 10% increase in special abilities, and 10,000 points increase in physique.] ¡­ on a spacious training ground¡­ two groups of men and women in black and white training suits attacked each other to their heart¡¯s content. at this moment, lei sen, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly emitted a powerful aura. he roared toward the sky, and the entire training ground seemed to shake. everyone could not help but look at lei sen. then, they shouted in unison, ¡°congratulations, master lei!¡± lei sen laughed heartily and said, ¡°today, the spirit energy room will be available for use for free of charge.¡± ¡°thank you, master lei!¡± everyone shouted happily. lei sen nodded, and then looked at the sky outside the window. ¡­ countless people exclaimed. ¡°lei sen! i knew he would definitely be on the rankings! however, why is he only ranked ninth? he¡¯s the master of the thunderbolt fist dojo!¡± ¡°dojo master lei once killed an sss-class exotic beast with two punches. he might be able to kill it with one punch now!¡± ¡°master lei, you¡¯re the strongest!¡± ¡­ [eighth place: fu xuantian.] [reward: 20 years of lifespan, 10% increase in special energy, and 50,000 points increase in physique.] meanwhile, in the southern region of the xia alliance. fu xuantian was leading a large group of warriors with special abilities, heading toward the north of the river. the next moment, he suddenly stopped. that was because fu xuantian¡¯s strength had suddenly increased. the soldiers with special abilities behind him also stopped in their tracks. ¡°chief, the rankings¡­¡± someone asked. ¡°it¡¯s true.¡± fu xuantian nodded slightly. everyone revealed a look of joy. as fu xuantian¡¯s subordinates, they admired him the most. now, fu xuantian had entered the eighth place on the global strength rankings, and his strength had increased by a large margin. this was definitely a form of encouragement for them. ¡°now is not the time to be happy. everyone, speed up!¡± ¡°yes, sir!¡± the warriors with special abilities shouted in unison. ¡­ discussions were ablaze. ¡°the eighth place is out. it¡¯s fu xuantian!¡± ¡°fu xuantian?

¡°as long as we hold on, it¡¯ll be a victory!¡± the moment he said that, all the warriors with special abilities became solemn. they were extremely excited. firstly, it was because they knew fu xuantian¡¯s strength and saw hope in defeating the beast tide. secondly, it was because they admired fu xuantian. in a sense, they were fighting alongside fu xuantian by resisting the beast tide! this honor that made them proud! at this moment, the ground suddenly shook. everyone looked into the distance and saw countless exotic beasts rushing over like a flood. they bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they roared toward the sky. the sound was deafening. even though the warriors with special abilities had extraordinary strength, their faces could not help but turn slightly pale. qin zhong was also shocked by this scene. however, he quickly reacted and shouted, ¡°everyone, prepare for battle!¡± the super laser cannons hidden in the distance shot out beams of light like meteors. the 100 super laser cannons were extremely powerful. if they were to face hundreds or even thousands of exotic beasts, they would have the ability to annihilate them. however, at this moment, the laser cannons were not enough to face 100,000 of mutated beasts. smoke and dust flew everywhere as the beasts roared wildly, forming a powerful sound wave that shook the mountains. it was extremely terrifying. qin zhong, li dahai, and the other warriors with special abilities were shocked. they gathered their courage and prepared for battle. at this moment, a loud and clear voice suddenly sounded. ¡°it¡¯s so noisy!¡± Chapter 662 - 662 Killing in One Move; Heated Discussion!

the soldiers with special abilities had no choice but to cover their eyes with their hands. after a long time, the thunder stopped and the white light dissipated. only then did everyone slowly open their eyes. in the next moment¡­ all the warriors with special abilities were stunned. that was because the hundreds of thousands of exotic beasts nearby had all disappeared without a trace. in their place¡­ were only wisps of black dust and slowly dancing electric arcs. the beast tide was instantly resolved! they were all dead! this¡­ this was too unbelievable! ¡­ the scene was transmitted to the xia alliance¡¯s headquarters. hu yixiao said in surprise,¡± just now¡­ what happened?¡± liu qi did not answer immediately. his hands were jumping on the keyboard. instantly, the scene that had been slowed down by 100 times appeared on the screen. liu qi and xue zhan both frowned. hu yixiao cried out in surprise again, ¡°why did so many lightning bolts suddenly descend?¡± ¡°also, there¡¯s no lack of b-class, a-class, and even some s-class exotic beasts in this beast tide. lightning shouldn¡¯t be able to cause too much damage to them.¡± ¡°what¡¯s going on?!¡± hu yixiao was one of the chiefs of xia alliance. he was not as steady as liu qi, nor was he as silent as xue zhan. however, with his extraordinary knowledge, there were very few things that surprised him. now, he let out several shocked cries in succession. ¡°xue zhan, did you see anyone?¡± liu qi asked. xue zhan shook his head. liu qi said, ¡°the terrifying lightning struck from a long distance. this person¡¯s strength¡­ is immeasurable!¡± xue zhan nodded seriously. ¡°do you know who he is?¡± hu yixiao asked anxiously. ¡°quickly tell me!¡± ¡°didn¡¯t i just show you some of his information?¡± liu qi raised his eyelids and said. ¡°information?¡± hu yixiao was stunned. ¡°you mean¡­ lin fan?¡± ¡­ fu xuantian, who was leading the special ability team, finally arrived at the border of jiangbei. fu xuantian sniffed the burnt smell in the air and looked at the stunned warriors with special abilities. he frowned and asked, ¡°what about the beast tide? what happened here?¡± qin zhong and the other warriors finally came back to their senses. therefore, qin zhong quickly recounted everything he had seen and heard. then, he opened the live recording. fu xuantian looked at the spot where the beast tide had disappeared. finally, he looked at the strength rankings in the sky and locked his gaze on the words¡ª[first place: lin fan.] ¡°is it him?¡± he muttered. ¡­ what happened at the jiangbei border was soon spread on the internet. the heated discussions rose and fell, quickly reaching the top of the trending topics on various social media sites. wind, flower, snow and moon: [why did such scary lightning suddenly fall at the border of jiangbei?] victory: s[o many mutated beasts died in the blink of an eye?] tang song poet: [f*ck, that¡¯s awesome!] no life, no demon: [heavenly punishment!

some people were surprised, some sighed, and some were excited. the majority of people did not believe it¡­ a thousand years was too long. they did not believe that anyone could live that long. furthermore, there were only some words and legends about lin fan in this world. there was no video of him at all. after so many years, many people felt that the hero of a thousand years ago, lin fan, was just a legend that was made up by others. top physicist, top biologist, top mathematician, top physicist, top computer scientist, top expert¡­ in their hearts, how could there be such a perfect person in this world? ¡­ lin fan did not care about what was happening on the internet or what other people were thinking. as for exterminating the beast tide, it was just a casual act of his. zhang wenzhuo said, ¡°lin fan, do you think the beast tide is about to enter jiangbei? can jiangbei defend against it?¡± the heavenly hound, who was sitting on the ground, raised its eyelids and looked at him as if it was looking at an idiot. it was as if it was saying, ¡°you fool, what nonsense are you asking?¡± zhang wenzhuo seemed to read the words on the heavenly hound¡¯s face and said, ¡°doggo, why are you looking at me?¡± lin fan smiled. ¡°don¡¯t worry, we can defend it.¡± ¡°then, will a small number of exotic beasts rush into the city and harm ordinary people?¡± zhang wenzhuo asked again. ¡°do you think we should help kill the exotic beasts? after all, we¡¯re all special ability users now.¡± speaking of this, zhang wenzhuo became nervous and excited. he had only killed exotic beasts in games. he had never killed an exotic beast in reality. there was excitement amidst danger! lin fan smiled. ¡°probably not.¡± zhang wenzhuo did not seem to hear lin fan¡¯s words and muttered to himself, ¡°no, i have to prepare my battle equipment first. however, isn¡¯t it too late to buy equipment now?¡± after saying that, he began to rummage through the dormitory. seeing this¡­ lin fan could not help but smile and shake his head. he turned around and lay on the bed in the dormitory that he had not seen for a long time. he closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep. it had been a long time since he slept in the student dormitory, but it gave him a different kind of comfort. tonight, lin fan slept very soundly. Chapter 663 - 663 Joint Examination; Worry! 663 joint examination; worry! in the blink of an eye, the next day arrived. lin fan had yet to enter the classroom when he heard a heated discussion. ¡°have you guys seen the news?¡± ¡°are you talking about the killing of the beast tide? of course, i have! it¡¯s so awesome. so much lightning fell from the sky, instantly killing hundreds of thousands of powerful exotic beasts!¡± ¡°i heard that it¡¯s the doing of the hero from a thousand years ago, lin fan!¡± ¡°from today onward, lin fan is my idol!¡± ¡°it¡¯d be great if i could be one-tenth as strong as him in the future!¡± ¡­ when lin fan heard these words, he smiled and did not mind them too much. zhang wenzhuo looked to the left and right. he looked a little nervous. lin fan could not help but ask, ¡°what¡¯s wrong?¡± after all, he was his roommate now. if the other party encountered any trouble, lin fan did not mind helping him settle it. ¡°do you know who sent down the terrifying lightning yesterday and instantly killed the beast tide?¡± zhang wenzhuo lowered his voice and asked. lin fan nodded. ¡°lin fan.¡± he said this with absolute certainty. it was because he was the one who did it. zhang wenzhuo nodded. ¡°that¡¯s right. it¡¯s lin fan. the lin fan from 1,000 years ago! his name is the same as yours!¡± then, he looked to his left and right nervously. ¡°i received a message from lin fan this morning. don¡¯t tell anyone.¡± then, he quietly opened the folding display in his pocket. [hello, i¡¯m lin fan. as i¡¯ve used up too much energy to kill the beast tide, i¡¯m now weak and powerless. i¡¯m trapped underground and urgently need 1,000 world coins to buy nutritional supplements. after i recover my energy, i¡¯ll pay you back a hundredfold! also, i¡¯ll teach you a supreme combat skill! [card number: 6287*******] zhang wenzhuo said, ¡°i transferred 1,000 world coins to him early in the morning. lin fan should be able to eat the supplements soon. i didn¡¯t expect that i would be able to help such a big shot one day, hehe!¡± at this point, zhang wenzhuo could not help but reveal a blissful and smug smile. happiness? proud? that was right! that was it! that was because, like many others, he had already regarded lin fan as his idol. how could he not be happy when he managed to help his idol? moreover, his idol would teach him a supreme combat skill! lin fan, who was standing at the side, had a weird look on his face. such fake advertisements had existed since a thousand years ago. however, very few people were deceived at that time. he did not expect that there were similar advertisements nowadays. in the end, someone around him was deceived? how did zhang wenzhuo get into jiangbei university? zhang wenzhuo was still proud. ¡°lin fan, don¡¯t worry. after lin fan teaches me a combat skill, i¡¯ll mention you to him. you¡¯re both named lin fan. maybe he¡¯ll teach you something.¡± ¡°then¡­ i¡¯ll have to trouble you.¡± lin fan patted zhang wenzhuo¡¯s shoulder earnestly. ¡°it¡¯s a small matter!¡± zhang wenzhuo waved his hand and smiled. ¡­ at this moment, the school bell rang. then, qin chuan strode in. he first swept his gaze across the class and easily knew that no one was missing. he nodded in satisfaction and said, ¡°i believe everyone has already seen the news. the beast tide crisis has been resolved! everyone can enter and leave the campus as usual. ¡°of course, you still have to pay attention to your safety. after all, mutated beasts aren¡¯t the only dangerous things in this world! ¡°in addition, jiangbei university, xia university, and the western university are planning to hold a joint exam in jiangbei. the exam will be divided into two categories: mecha and arena. ¡°this assessment will be personally hosted by chief hu yixiao. those who perform well and obtain good results will receive awards and energy stones from the school, the xia alliance, and the world alliance.¡± as soon as he said this, the students cried out in excitement. jiangbei university, xia university, and western university were the top three universities in the world. the joint examination of the three schools was an extremely rare event. furthermore, this joint examination was hosted by the high and mighty hu yixiao. the outstanding ones would be rewarded with many rewards. this assessment was taking place after they became special ability users. this was definitely an opportunity for them, a very good opportunity! qin chuan took in everyone¡¯s expressions and nodded his head slightly. then, he continued, ¡°the joint examination of the three schools will be held in three days. the whole school will be on holiday for the next two days. everyone, go back and adjust your condition to prepare for the joint examination!¡± ¡°yes, teacher!¡± the students shouted in unison. it had to be said that the world a thousand years later was indeed not bad. one had to know¡­ the other two universities were thousands of kilometers away from jiangbei. if it was a thousand years ago, the competition would have been arranged at least a week later. this was because they would need two to three days to travel. in addition, they needed some time to get over the jet lag. now, they could reach jiangbei in half a day by supersonic plane. as for jet lag, a pill could solve it. ¡­ after qin chuan left, lin fan saw that xia xue¡¯s pretty face was a little red. he asked, ¡°are you nervous?¡± ¡°a little.¡± after xia xue heard lin fan¡¯s voice, her pretty face turned even redder. lin fan said, ¡°it¡¯s just a normal exam. just relax. you¡¯ll be fine.¡± for some reason, after xia xue heard his words, she felt a lot more at ease. ¡°alright,¡± she said with a smile. the two of them chatted as they walked. they separated at a fork in the road. when lin fan turned his head, he happened to see his roommate, zhang wenzhuo. most of the students were excited when they found out that they were going to take the joint examination. however, zhang wenzhuo¡¯s face was filled with worry. ¡°zhang wenzhuo, what¡¯s wrong?¡± lin fan asked curiously. when zhang wenzhuo saw that it was lin fan, he could not help but become spirited. he first looked around before saying in a low voice, ¡°do you think that hero from a thousand years ago, lin fan, will teach me that powerful combat skill in the next two days? ¡°if he teaches it to me in the next two days, i¡¯ll definitely get good results in the joint examination! ¡°perhaps, chief hu yixiao might even take a fancy to me!¡± at this point, zhang wenzhuo was so excited that his face turned red. it was as if he could already see himself defeating one student after another, becoming the final one standing. however, zhang wenzhuo quickly frowned and said, ¡°but will hu yixiao ask me where i got the combat skill? ¡°how should i answer him, then? if i tell the truth, i wonder if the lin fan from a thousand years ago would mind.¡± lin fan looked at his serious expression and almost laughed out loud. this fellow was thinking a little too far ahead. Chapter 664 - 664 Rich Woman; Fate! 664 rich woman; fate! after a long time, zhang wenzhuo collected some of his thoughts. he opened his mouth and seemed to be hesitant. after a while, he said, ¡°i don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because of luck. lin fan, have you heard of buying a child?¡± ¡°huh?¡± lin fan blinked his eyes as if he had thought of something. the strange look on his face grew even more intense. zhang wenzhuo looked around again and said, ¡°this morning, i received a message from a rich and beautiful woman who¡¯s a surrogate mom. ¡°this woman has a perfect figure and face! as long as she gave birth to a child, she¡¯ll receive ten million world coins. ¡°i bought a new gaming helmet when school started. two days ago, i gave 1,000 world coins to lin fan from 1,000 years ago. i¡¯m a little short of money now¡­ but isn¡¯t it bad to become a tool for reproduction?¡± when zhang wenzhuo said this, he could not help but feel a little embarrassed. it was as if he was struggling between ten million world coins and letting a woman become a tool for reproduction. lin fan looked at his serious expression and almost laughed out loud. he thought to himself, ¡®sure enough, everything has its origin. however, why do these scammers always find the same person? can¡¯t they branch out?¡¯ lin fan patted zhang wenzhuo¡¯s shoulder and said earnestly, ¡°that¡¯s up to you to decide. ¡°if you encounter any trouble in the future, you can call me. perhaps i can help you.¡± ¡°we¡¯re classmates and roommates!¡± zhang wenzhuo said seriously. ¡°when i become a powerful special ability user or a rich man, i¡¯ll also help you!¡± ¡­ as the news of the joint exam spread, the whole of jiangbei became lively. discussions about the joint examination could be heard everywhere. when they looked up, they could see advertisements and promotional videos about the joint examination of the three schools¡­ everyone was looking forward to the wonderful performance of the three schools¡¯ proud students. for this reason, many people specially rushed over from other places. all of a sudden, jiangbei became one of the most popular tourist cities. ¡­ lin fan did not care about any of this at all. jiangbei university had lifted their dismissal order. hence, lin fan did not continue sleeping in the dormitory. instead, he went to the luxurious presidential suite of the imperial hotel. that was because when he stayed in the school dormitory, it was easy for lin fan to think of things that happened a thousand years ago. unfortunately, things were different now, so it was better to choose a quiet and comfortable place to stay. lin fan stood in front of the full-view window and asked, ¡°lil white, have you found any traces of my parents, sister, hu tian, han tian, and the others?¡± lil white apologized, ¡°i¡¯m sorry, master. a thousand years ago, they seemed to have disappeared into thin air. ¡°the only thing that can be confirmed is that xia xue and xia bing should¡¯ve seen them in the end.¡± lin fan nodded his head and looked into the distance. it was as if he could see the entire world. ¡­ three days passed in a flash. after lin fan finished his breakfast, he strolled to jiangbei university. when he came to the corner of the classroom, he happened to see zhang wenzhuo with dark eye bags under his eyes. he could not help but ask, ¡°you don¡¯t seem to be in a good mental state.¡± when zhang wenzhuo saw that it was lin fan, he forcefully perked up. then, he looked around and whispered, ¡°lin fan, do you still remember the lin fan from a thousand years ago who sent me a message?¡± lin fan nodded. ¡°he¡¯s a fake!¡± zhang wenzhuo said. lin fan¡¯s expression did not change at all. that was because he was the lin fan from a thousand years ago that the other party was talking about. the other lin fan was naturally fake. ¡°the one who wants to buy a child is the real one,¡± zhang wenzhuo continued. when lin fan heard this, his calm face finally revealed a strange expression. buy a child? really? ¡°so, your dark circles¡­¡± ¡°i didn¡¯t go to see her the day before yesterday!¡± zhang wenzhuo hurriedly said. ¡± i know,¡± lin fan said. ¡°the teacher will be here soon. let¡¯s go back to the classroom first.¡± zhang wenzhuo seemed to be afraid of being heard and quickly walked into the classroom. lin fan looked at the way his legs went limp as he walked and could not help but want to laugh. since class had not started yet, the classroom was a little noisy. there was constant discussion. ¡°you must perform well in the joint examination of the three schools this time!¡± ¡°of course! chief hu yixiao is personally hosting it! if he takes a fancy to you, you might even become a high-ranking official in the future!¡± ¡°a high-ranking official! my dream in this life is to be an official!¡± ¡°i heard that the reason why the joint examination is suddenly held in jiangbei was because the higher-ups think that the lin fan from a thousand years ago is in jiangbei!¡± ¡°he might even watch the examination! if lin fan takes a fancy to anyone, it¡¯s possible for them to become an immortal or even a god!¡± ¡°fortunately, we have all become special ability users!¡± ¡°we must perform well!¡± ¡­ when lin fan heard that, he was stunned. they had their own reasons for the joint examination of the three schools, huh? of course, he did not take it to heart. at this time, xia xue was already sitting in her seat. today¡¯s xia xue was more heroic than usual. lin fan knew the reason. in the past three days, many people had gone through emergency training for the joint examination. xia xue was also one of them. however, when xia xue saw lin fan, her heroic spirit completely disappeared. what replaced it was a faint shyness. lin fan smiled and said, ¡°xia xue, good morning.¡± ¡°good morning¡­ good morning,¡± xia xue stuttered. at this moment, the crisp sound of the bell rang throughout jiangbei university. not long after, qin chuan, who was wearing a white shirt, strode up to the podium. he glanced at the students and said, ¡°there are a total of 99,011 people in the joint examination. they¡¯re divided into 99 groups, and each group has nearly 1,000 people! now, i¡¯ll announce the names in our class!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, qin chuan waved his hand. a 3d projection appeared in front of him. ¡°i¡¯m in group 51!¡± ¡°i¡¯m in group 3!¡± ¡°i¡¯m in group 8!¡± ¡­ soon, loud noises rang out in the class. many people in the class were divided into different groups. lin fan, xia xue, and li dongqiang were in group 7. qin chuan gestured for everyone to be quiet before saying, ¡°i¡¯ve already sent the location of the competition to everyone¡¯s communication number. after checking it, you can go to the competition venue on your own.¡± the students quickly took out their foldable monitors to check and then walked out. li dongqiang rubbed his nose and chuckled. ¡°last time, the three of us were on night watch together. i didn¡¯t expect the three of us to be in the same group this time. it¡¯s really fate!¡± fate? xia xue did not know why, but after hearing this word, she could not help but secretly look at lin fan. her pretty face immediately blushed. Chapter 665 - 665 Information; Stand Out! 665 information; stand out! even though the area of jiangbei university had expanded by more than three times compared to a thousand years ago, reaching nearly 700 million square meters, it was still crowded today. looking up, one could see many people everywhere. of course, there were students from jiangbei university, xia university, and western university. in addition, there were also many spectators who had specially come to watch the joint examination. lin fan, xia xue, and li dongqiang chatted as they walked. not long after, they arrived at the plaza. this was the competition area of their group 7. the referees were either closing their eyes to rest, discussing in low voices, or observing carefully¡­ everyone was determined to achieve excellent results in this joint examination. therefore, even though there were hundreds of people present, there was no liveliness. on the contrary, it was very dull. at this moment, a round-faced man walked over and said with a smile, ¡°are you li dongqiang, xia xue, and lin fan from jiangbei university?¡± ¡°you know us?¡± li dongqiang asked in confusion. the round-faced man pushed his black-rimmed glasses up the bridge of his nose and said, ¡°to be exact, i know you all, or rather, i know everyone from the three major schools. this is because i have the information of everyone there.¡± ¡°i forgot to introduce myself. i¡¯m tian zhiwu from xia university.¡± when li dongqiang heard this, his eyes moved slightly as he asked, ¡°do you really have everyone¡¯s information?¡± after all, the joint examination was a competition of strength. if he knew about other people¡¯s information, it would definitely be very beneficial to him. ¡°of course!¡± tian zhiwu replied. then, he took out the foldable display screen and clicked on it. after a while, a 3d projection appeared in front of him. the page contained li dongqiang¡¯s basic information. [li dongqiang: male] [school: sophomore at jiangbei university] [mech rating: c] [special ability level: d] [remarks: extraordinary endurance, strength, willingness to help others¡­] then, he displayed xia xue¡¯s basic information. [xia xue: female] [school: sophomore at jiangbei university] [mech rating: c] [special ability level: d+] [remarks: special flying ability, allowing her to be invincible at the beginning of the battle¡­] tian zhiwu and li dongqiang could not help but look at xia xue. d+ and flying ability. these were very rare among ordinary students. finally, lin fan¡¯s information appeared on the 3d projection. [lin fan: male] [school: sophomore at jiangbei university] [mech ability: c] [special ability level: d] [remarks: balance of strength, stability, and sustainable development¡­] ¡°how about it? do you want me to check anyone¡¯s information? a piece of information only cost 200 world coins. isn¡¯t that a good deal? in addition, as long as you purchase more than three people¡¯s information, you¡¯ll be given a list of all the participants in group 7.¡± tian zhiwu chuckled. lin fan¡¯s lips twitched. people from a thousand years later did not seem to be as simple-minded as zhang wenzhuo. li dongqiang thought for a moment and said, ¡°then give me the information of the three strongest people in the group 7. remember, you have to exclude the three of us.¡± ¡°alright!¡± tian zhiwu said happily. then, the information of three people appeared in front of him. [song kai: male] [school: third year student of western university] [mech ability: b] [special ability level: d+] [remarks: his mecha abilities far exceed his peers, making him invincible¡­] ¡­ [qin zifeng: male] [school: fourth year student of jiangbei university] [mech ability: c+] [special ability level: c] [remarks: mecha and special ability levels put him among the best among his peers¡­] ¡­ [lei hu: male] [school: junior year student of xia university] [mech ability: c-] [special ability level: b+] [remarks: breaking all techniques with strength, a rare genius¡­] ¡­ ¡°lei hu¡¯s special ability is b+!¡± li dongqiang was surprised. among the other students who did not even have a b grade, a b+ grade was too eye-catching. ¡°yes!¡± tian zhiwu said. ¡°he¡¯s the number one genius of our university! let me remind you, his father is lei sen!¡± ¡°the master of the thunderbolt fist dojo?¡± li dongqiang¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°that¡¯s right!¡± tian zhiwu. ¡°hiss!¡± li dongqiang could not help but gasp. this was truly too shocking. lei sen was already extremely famous. not long ago, he appeared on the strength rankings, which made his reputation reach its peak. they were actually competing on the same stage as lei sen¡¯s son! a low voice sounded behind him. ¡°don¡¯t you have eyes?¡± a man with long bangs looked at tian zhiwu from the corner of his eyes. as soon as he finished speaking, he raised his thick arm and was about to push tian zhiwu to the side. tian zhiwu seemed to have noticed this from the corner of his eye, and his body tilted slightly. unfortunately, he was still a step too late. a huge force struck and directly flipped tian zhiwu onto the ground. ¡°what are you doing?¡± tian zhiwu said angrily. however, when he saw the appearance of the man with long bangs, he was slightly stunned. it was as if he had seen a ferocious beast and could not help but take half a step back. ¡°what? you have a problem with that?¡± the man with long bangs frowned. before tian zhiwu could reply, li dongqiang took a step forward and said, ¡°what right do you have to push him? apologize to him now!¡± ¡°you want to stand up for him?¡± asked the man with long bangs. ¡°apologize!¡± li dongqiang said directly. the man with long bangs snorted and pushed li dongqiang again. li dongqiang had already seen his opponent¡¯s move. he knew that his strength was far beyond that of ordinary people and that he could not be defeated. hence, he quickly dodged to the side. however, even though he dodged the man¡¯s arm, he still suffered an invisible force. li dongqiang was like a kite with a broken string. he somersaulted in the air before slowly stabilizing his body. tian zhiwu hurriedly walked up and said with concern, ¡°are you alright?¡± after all, li dongqiang was only trying to stand up for him. ¡°he¡¯s zhao ting, a student of xia university. his ability is air manipulation. his level is c-! he has a fiery temper. we¡¯d better not provoke him.¡± li dongqiang was slightly shocked. his grade was c-, and he could control the air! although this person called zhao ting was domineering, he was really strong! li dongqiang¡¯s expression changed, as if he was hesitating and considering something. xia xue, who was next to him, said angrily to zhao ting, ¡°you suddenly knocked someone away, and you¡¯re still quibbling? hurry up and apologize!¡± lin fan did not say anything. he just took half a step forward and vaguely protected xia xue behind him. in fact, with his strength, even if he was thousands of kilometers away from xia xue, it was impossible for xia xue to get hurt. it was unnecessary for him to be concerned. Chapter 666 - 666 Mecha Battle; Regret! 666 mecha battle; regret! li dongqiang, zhao ting, and the others¡¯ noise attracted the attention of many people. they all looked over. however, no one tried to stop anything from happening. instead, they all revealed an expression of watching a good show. zhao ting¡¯s cold eyes swept across lin fan, xia xue, li dongqiang, and tian zhiwu. just as he was about to speak¡­ at this moment, a loud voice suddenly sounded. ¡°members of group 7 of the joint examination, gather here!¡± when everyone heard this, they all looked in the direction of the voice. there stood a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. he exuded a stern aura. when many people saw him, they were surprised and started discussing. ¡°captain li ke!¡± ¡°heavens, our invigilator is actually captain li ke!¡± ¡°he¡¯s an s-class special ability user. moreover, he¡¯s at the top of the s-class!¡± ¡°later, we must perform well. if captain li ke takes a fancy to us, that¡¯ll be a very good thing!¡± ¡°as expected, the joint examination is very important!¡± ¡­ as they spoke, they quickened their pace and approached li ke. zhao ting glanced at lin fan, xia xue, li dongqiang, and tian zhiwu again. he said sternly, ¡°see you on the field!¡± tian zhiwu looked at his departing back and heaved a long sigh of relief. ¡°fortunately, he left¡­¡± then, he said to lin fan, xia xue, and li dongqiang, ¡°this is just how zhao ting is. actually, i could¡¯ve just stepped aside just now. but thank you.¡± ¡°i was pushed too,¡± li dongqiang said. ¡°it¡¯s not too much to thank me a few times, right?¡± ¡°huh?¡± tian zhiqu was stunned and said, ¡°thank¡­ thank you.¡± li dongqiang pursed his lips and thought, ¡®there¡¯s only one gratitude token again.¡¯ lin fan, xia xue, li dongqiang, and tian zhiwu followed the crowd to where li ke was. li ke glanced at the bustling students and said loudly, ¡°i think your teacher has already explained the contents of the competition. mecha and the arena! ¡°you¡¯ll be provided with standardized mechas by the world alliance. ¡°the rules are simple. fight! ¡°the mecha assessment time is two hours. all mechas have an energy core. breaking an energy core will give you one point. those who leave the assessment area will fail. ¡°if there are no more questions, everyone can collect your mechas and enter the building of group 7 for the examination.¡± as he spoke, li ke pointed at the mechas and the tall building beside him. some of the students from jiangbei university started to whisper among themselves. ¡°i was wondering why the school suddenly built so many new buildings. so it¡¯s for competitions.¡± ¡°there¡¯s a thick layer of foam below the building, so i¡¯m not worried about getting injured from falling.¡± ¡°let¡¯s go. hurry up and get into the mechas.¡± ¡­ at this moment, lin fan, xia xue, li dongqiang, and tian zhiwu found their mechas. all the mechas were red in color, with numbers written on their left arms and an eye-catching energy core at the bottom of their necks. lin fan casually operated his mecha and started to compare. this mecha¡¯s operation and performance were similar to the school¡¯s, so it could be considered somewhat handy. thousands of red mechas walked towardsthe tall building in batches, forming a scene of a future battlefield. after everyone operated their mechas into the building, they first observed the environment and kept their distance from the people around them. that was because everyone was an enemy now. anyone could suddenly attack them. ¡°the assessment begins!¡± at this moment, a loud and clear voice sounded from the tall building. at the same time, a projection of the time and the number of people appeared. [time: 119:59] [number of people: 1,000] almost as soon as the voice fell, a series of loud noises immediately sounded from the tall building. the entire building shook. [time: 119:30] [number of people: 990] in 30 seconds, the energy cores of ten people were directly shattered! chaos unfolded. suddenly, loud noises rang out throughout the entire building. dust filled the air, and gravel flew everywhere. the towering skyscraper looked as if it would collapse at any moment. lin fan, who was standing in his mecha, did not care about the battle around him. he did not take the initiative to attack anyone. in his eyes, these battles were like children fighting, and he was completely uninterested. he went straight to a mecha near the corner. when the mecha saw someone approaching, it immediately became alert. ¡°it¡¯s me!¡± lin fan said. the standard mecha was the initial data. it was not connected to other equipment. generally speaking, communication could only be made if both parties agreed. lin fan¡¯s voice appeared in xia xue¡¯s mind. xia xue looked at the left shoulder of lin fan¡¯s mecha and quickly saw his number. she could not help but feel relieved. at this moment, she received a communication request. ¡°lin fan, have you seen li dongqiang?¡± after all, li dongqiang was their classmate. there was strength in numbers, and it was always safer to be together. ¡°li dongqiang is in the east.¡± then, the two of them piloted their mecha and headed east. at this moment, li dongqiang was holding his long knife high and slashing it at the energy core of the mecha in front of him. the mecha immediately lost its ability to move. li dongqiang could not help but smile. he had scored! in the next moment, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly turned around to escape. he suddenly saw two mechas charging toward him. li dongqiang felt that he had good strength. Chapter 667 - 667 Mecha Battle; Regret! (2) 667 mecha battle; regret! (2) however, he had just used up his stamina to defeat a mecha. now, he was facing two more mechas. he would definitely not be able to take it. at this moment, lin fan¡¯s voice floated into his mind. ¡°it¡¯s me and xia xue.¡± li dongqiang¡¯s footsteps paused slightly. then, he received a communication request. ¡°it¡¯s really you!¡± li dongqiang said happily. alone, it was easy to be attacked. however, if the three of them formed a group, very few people would dare to provoke them. xia xue looked up at the count. [time: 99:51] [number of people: 910] ¡°there are only 99 minutes left,¡± xia xue said. lin fan knew that xia xue also cared about this competition. otherwise, she would not have specially trained during the three days of the holiday. thus, lin fan said, ¡°it¡¯s almost time for us to earn points.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, lin fan controlled his mecha to take a step forward. in an instant, he blocked a mecha and slammed down with his palm. the energy core shattered, earning him a point! ¡°good job!¡± li dongqiang laughed. ¡°watch me!¡± then, he stopped another person. however, li dongqiang was not as fast as lin fan. in fact, he almost flipped the mecha over. thanks to lin fan¡¯s timely help, li dongqiang was able to shatter the energy core. at this time, xia xue also stopped a mecha. lin fan and li dongqiang turned around to help. the ending was self-evident. xia xue quickly got one point. with the three of them working together, especially with lin fan, who was ranked number one in terms of strength, they could naturally kill everyone and everything! lin fan, xia xue, and li dongqiang¡¯s scores kept rising. ¡­ in front of group 7¡¯s building. there was a huge 3d projection in front of li ke, displaying the battle scene in the entire building. the audience in the distance gasped in admiration from time to time. ¡°as expected of students from the three major universities!¡± ¡°that¡¯s amazing!¡± ¡°i can barely operate the mecha to run.¡± ¡°this is too exciting!¡± ¡­ li ke¡¯s stern eyes swept through the battles as he silently analyzed them. when he saw the small group of three mechas, his gaze could not help but linger for a few more seconds. ¡­ [time: 23:33] [number of people: 589] as time passed, some people discovered the great benefits of being in small groups. therefore, they intentionally looked for people who they were familiar with, were from the same grade, or were from the same school to form groups. not long after, several large groups of dozens or even 20 to 30 people appeared. after the individual players were dealt with, some of the larger groups turned their attention to the smaller groups. in the distance, there was a sudden burst of violent footsteps. a large group of 18 people rushed toward lin fan, xia xue, and li dongqiang. they looked like a pack of hungry wolves who had just seen three fat sheep. among them, the mecha that was running at the front turned on the external sound system and said, ¡°i found you!¡± it was zhao ting, who had clashed with li dongqiang and the others earlier. li dongqiang frowned when he heard the voice. li dongqiang had wanted to find trouble with zhao ting earlier, but the invigilator arrived. now, they finally met. however, the other party was in a group of 18 people. ¡°what should we do now?¡± li dongqiang asked in a low voice. lin fan smiled. ¡°someone is delivering points to us again. can¡¯t we just accept them?¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and rushed forward. he was completely fearless! perhaps lin fan¡¯s actions had touched li dongqiang. ¡°alright!¡± he added. xia xue did not speak. she followed closely behind lin fan. thus, a very strange scene appeared. the three lone mechas that looked like little sheep charged straight at the 18 mechas that looked like hungry wolves. lin fan, who was controlling his mecha, suddenly changed his stance and slashed down. a mecha¡¯s energy core shattered. then, lin fan punched the back of another mecha, causing it to stagger and fall toward li dongqiang. li dongqiang seized the opportunity and threw a shot. score! lin fan kicked out, and the mecha beside him fell to the ground. xia xue quickly waved her knife. score! ¡­. in front of group 7¡¯s building. li ke¡¯s gaze once again fell on the small group of three mechas. he muttered in his heart, ¡°these three people¡­¡± he raised his hand and tapped lightly, and the information of the three people immediately jumped out in front of him. ¡°xia xue, li dongqiang, and lin fan?¡± ¡°lin fan? he has the same name as the hero from a thousand years ago.¡± then, li ke sighed and said, ¡°is that hero also watching this examination?¡± ¡­ how could he know that the hero was not just watching it? he was directly involved in it. ¡­ even though lin fan did not use his own strength and was just operating the mecha like a normal student, his skills were still not something that ordinary people could compare to. soon, zhao ting was the only one left standing in the group of 18. he looked around at lin fan, xia xue, and li dongqiang. finally, he shouted, ¡°die!¡± he charged toward lin fan with all his might. in his opinion, lin fan had been attacking all this while he was definitely exhausted now. unfortunately, zhao ting was destined to be disappointed. lin fan¡¯s body shook, and he smashed zhao ting onto the ground. ¡°li dongqiang, i¡¯ll leave it to you.¡± ¡°thanks!¡± li dongqiang said. he slashed at zhao ting¡¯s energy core. this battle of three against 18 was a complete victory! the following time became even more intense. everyone wanted to get more points at the last moment. one after another, large groups erupted into battle. it was extremely tragic. the small group of three formed by lin fan, xia xue, and li dongqiang was not attacked at all. lin fan, xia xue, and li dongqiang were not attacked, and they were too lazy to take the initiative to find trouble. hence, a strange scene appeared in group 7¡¯s building. sparks flew in all directions from the large groups. however, there were three lonely mechas standing at the side like spectators. at this moment, a loud and clear voice sounded in group 7¡¯s building. ¡°the match is over! everyone stop fighting and come out of the building!¡± as soon as that was said, there were people who heaved a sigh of relief, some felt helpless, and others who were excited¡­ their expressions were all different. following that, everyone piloted their slightly damaged mechas and returned to the square. li ke¡¯s sharp eyes swept across the crowd. when he saw lin fan, xia xue, and li dongqiang, he could not help but pause for a few more seconds. after a while, he said, ¡°the first round of the mecha competition ends here!¡± ¡°now, let¡¯s announce the scores!¡± immediately, a clear 3d projection appeared in the air. [lin fan: 39 points] [xia xue: 33 points] [li dongqiang: 31 points] [qiao hun: 26 points] [zhu chaoqun: 19 points] ¡­ the top three were taken by lin fan, xia xue, and li dongqiang. among them, lin fan had the highest score. in reality, lin fan was not interested in the number of points he got and whether he was first or not. many times, he would beat the enemy to the point of being half-crippled so that xia xue and li dongqiang could make the last move. xia xue and li dongqiang also knew that in the small group of three, lin fan had the greatest contribution. therefore, there were a few times when they kicked the enemy back in front of lin fan. that was why lin fan had gotten the highest score. ¡­ ¡°the morning exam ends here. the arena competition will begin at 2 pm!¡± li ke said. after saying that, he did not stop at all. he turned around and walked into the distance. as soon as he left, the scene immediately erupted into a clamor of discussion. ¡°so, mecha battles are actually like this. if i had known earlier, i would¡¯ve formed a group when i entered.¡± ¡°standard mechas are too difficult to operate. it would¡¯ve been better if i used my own mecha.¡± ¡°i actually got zero points.¡± ¡°hey!¡± ¡­ the round-faced tian zhiwu squeezed through the crowd and said, ¡°lin fan, xia xue, li dongqiang, aren¡¯t your mecha piloting skills too amazing? ¡°especially lin fan. your mecha skills are way above the data. i¡¯m afraid you¡¯re already a b+! if i had known earlier, i would¡¯ve gone in and stayed with you. otherwise, i wouldn¡¯t have been eliminated after only staying in the building for two minutes.¡± as he said this, tian zhiwu¡¯s features were scrunched up. he was extremely regretful. Chapter 668 - 668 Encountering Zhao Ting; Victory! 668 encountering zhao ting; victory! in the first 20 minutes of the mecha assessment, the battles were the most intense and chaotic. many people¡¯s energy cores were shattered within these 20 minutes. tian zhiwu was one of them. losing the energy core in two minutes had caused him to end up with zero points in the mecha assessment. if he followed lin fan and the others, he might have been able to rank in the top few. how could he not regret it? at this moment, a series of dull footsteps sounded not far away. zhao ting, who had long bangs, walked over with a cold expression. ¡°in the afternoon, you¡¯d better pray that you don¡¯t meet me! otherwise, i¡¯ll teach you a lesson. hmph!¡± after saying that, he walked straight ahead. zhao ting also knew that his mecha abilities were rather average. however, he believed that he had extraordinary abilities! zhao ting believed that as long as he met lin fan and the others, he would be able to defeat them and take revenge. ¡­ at noon¡­ lin fan, xia xue, li dongqiang, and tian zhiwu chose to eat at the cafeteria. the cafeteria was much more crowded than usual. there was an endless stream of students walking in. fortunately, jiangbei university had made ample preparations in advance so that the students would not have to queue for too long or miss lunch. after lunch, li dongqiang, xia xue, and lin fan took tian zhiwu to stroll around the campus. after all, tian zhiwu came from xia university. he was a guest and needed to be treated as such. tian zhiwu pointed at the statue in the distance and said, ¡°is this the hero from a thousand years ago, professor lin fan?¡± ¡°yes,¡± li dongqiang said with certainty. ¡°it¡¯s said that professor lin used to think under that tree and solve difficult problems. now, it has become a path-understanding tree¡­ and there, it¡¯s said that someone broke his leg. in order to let the person stand up, professor lin invented advanced prosthetic limbs¡­¡± although lin fan had already heard all kinds of legends and stories about himself from xia xue, when he heard them again, he could not help but rub his nose awkwardly. the few of them chatted as they strolled. time flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, it was two o¡¯clock. at this moment, the students from group 7 who were taking the assessment had returned to the plaza. the originally flat plaza now had 50 more arenas. it had to be said that the world a thousand years later was truly amazing. with just a few hours of rest at noon, they could quickly build 50 sturdy large arenas. li ke, who was standing at the front, glanced at the students and said, ¡°the group arena is randomly divided into ten teams. the battle time is 30 minutes. as long as the opponent is knocked out of the arena or the opponent admits defeat, you¡¯ll receive one point. at the same time, you¡¯ll receive all the points your opponent has. ¡°of course, the premise is that weapons are not allowed, and intentional killing is not allowed! ¡°now, let¡¯s announce the groups!¡± as soon as li ke finished speaking, a huge 3d projection immediately appeared on the scene. on it was the list of candidates in group 7. [xia xue: team 30] [li dongqiang: team 33] [tian zhiwu: team 10] [lin fan: team 61] ¡­ ¡°we¡¯re not on the same team,¡± sighed li dongqiang. tian zhiwu said, ¡°you should be glad that we¡¯re not in the same team. it¡¯s ten people in a team. if we were all in the same team, each person would only get one point on average. in fact, when the game starts, the other 6 people might join forces to attack us. then we¡¯ll be in danger.¡± ¡°huh? that seems to be the case.¡± li dongqiang said. ¡­ ¡°students in the first 50 teams, please enter the arenas!¡± li ke announced loudly. when the students heard this, they all walked toward their own arena. the other students swept their gazes across the arena one after another. they discussed in low voices, wondering who would get a good result. meanwhile, lin fan focused his gaze on ring 30. ¡­ at this moment, there were three women and seven men standing on ring 30. one of the women was xia xue. the three women instinctively gathered together and looked warily at the seven guys in the distance. the atmosphere was a little heavy. at this moment, li ke, who was standing below the arena, said, ¡°the group arena begins!¡± the seven guys in ring 30 did not choose to deal with the women first. they attacked each other, and in a short while, four people were knocked off the stage. the remaining three guys had wounds on their bodies. they all felt that the other party was troublesome to deal with and did not attack easily. instead, their eyes fell on xia xue and the other women. ¡°what should we do?¡± the round-faced woman asked in a low voice. ¡°it seems like they are going to deal with us.¡± ¡°we can¡¯t just sit and wait for death!¡± said the oval-faced woman. ¡°we have to take the initiative to attack!¡± ¡°alright!¡± then, the three women charged at the three guys. in many people¡¯s minds, women were mostly weak. however, those were just ordinary women. xia xue and the others were not ordinary at all. the oval-faced woman had a rapid ability, the round-faced woman had far more power than ordinary people, and xia xue¡¯s speed and strength were not weak. three against three. one side was full of energy, while the other was exhausted. the ending was self-evident. after some effort, the three guys were knocked out of the ring. seeing this, the three women all revealed a hint of joy. at this moment, the oval-faced woman and the round-faced woman secretly looked at each other. a fierce look appeared in their eyes. then, they suddenly attacked xia xue together. they actually knew each other and had already made plans! seeing this¡­ lin fan, who was standing below the stage, raised his eyebrows and prepared to help. Chapter 669 - 669 Encountering Zhao Ting; Victory (2) 669 encountering zhao ting; victory (2) as for whether this would break the rules of the competition or affect the progress of the competition, lin fan did not consider it at all. the only thing lin fan thought about was that he could not let xia xue suffer any harm. however, before lin fan could make a move, xia xue suddenly jumped up and directly dodged the attacks of the round-faced woman and the oval-faced woman. the round-faced woman and the oval-faced woman looked up at xia xue who was flying in the air, their faces showing a touch of surprise. no, they were not the only ones surprised. many people outside the arena looked over and exclaimed. ¡°there¡¯s actually someone flying in arena 30!¡± ¡°heavens! a special ability to fly!¡± ¡°isn¡¯t this too amazing?¡± ¡­ flying was an amazing thing no matter which era it was. after li ke heard the voice, he also cast a strange look at xia xue. ¡­ xia xue, who was flying in the air, had a cold expression on her face. ¡°you guys are too sinister!¡± the oval-faced woman did not mind and said, ¡°in the group arena, it¡¯s either you win or lose. how is there anything sinister about it?¡± at this moment, she had already recovered from her shock. so what if xia xue could fly? at most, she would not attack her. the other party consisted of two people, so xia xue did not have the ability to attack them. with this thought, the oval-faced woman and the round-faced woman both relaxed. xia xue said coldly, ¡°either you win or you lose? since that¡¯s the case, then you guys lose!¡± as soon as she finished speaking, xia xue jumped down. she was as fast as lightning. in the blink of an eye, she arrived behind the oval-faced woman. the oval-faced woman wanted to dodge, but it was too late. with a punch, the oval-faced woman was knocked off the arena. then, xia xue jumped and quickly arrived in front of the round-faced woman. she suddenly kicked. the round-faced woman also fell off the stage. complete victory! ¡­ at this point, only xia xue was the only one left in the entire arena 30! she had obtained nine points by herself! xia xue looked at the other arenas and then slowly walked down. lin fan smiled. ¡°not bad!¡± in fact, it was normal for xia xue to do this. when they were in the forbidden area, lin fan had specially conditioned xia xue¡¯s body and secretly let her absorb a lot of energy. how could it be difficult for her to deal with two ordinary students? after xia xue heard lin fan¡¯s praise, her pretty face blushed slightly. she was very happy. even when she defeated the two women and obtained nine points, she was not this happy. ¡°thank you.¡± at this moment, tian zhiwu slowly walked over. there were some injuries on his body, and his entire face was extremely ugly. ¡°sigh, i¡¯m participating in this joint examination in vain.¡± tian zhiwu sighed. ¡°zero again!¡± lin fan smiled. ¡°the most important thing is your participation!¡± ¡°i can only think of it this way,¡± tian zhiwu said. ¡°what do you mean by that?¡± behind him, li dongqiang¡¯s carefree voice sounded. tian zhiwu said, ¡°the most important thing is participation¡­ by the way, how was your group arena?¡± ¡°it¡¯s alright. i only scored four points,¡± li dongqiang said proudly. this was indeed something to be proud of. one had to know that there were only ten people in each arena, so there was a total of nine points to be won. 4 points was already almost half of the points! tian zhiwu immediately gave him a thumbs-up and said, ¡°awesome!¡± li dongqiang waved his hand. ¡°group 51 to 100, get onto the arenas!¡± li ke shouted. tian zhiwu said, ¡°lin fan, you can do it!¡± ¡°you can do it!¡± li dongqiang said. xia xue whispered, ¡°good luck¡­¡± after a pause, she said, ¡°be careful.¡± lin fan smiled. ¡°alright.¡± why would lin fan need to pay attention to his safety? with his physique, even if he stood on the spot and let others hit him, it was impossible for anyone to cause him any harm. the referees walked up to the respective arenas. lin fan had just walked onto arena 61 when he felt a cold gaze on him. he raised his head and saw zhao ting with long bangs. zhao ting grinned. ¡°lin fan, what a coincidence. we meet again.¡± it was as if he could already see lin fan getting beaten up by him. lin fan¡¯s expression remained indifferent. after all, a small ant was baring its teeth at a human. how could the human take it to heart? ¡­ tian zhiwu¡¯s expression changed slightly. ¡°oh no! why is lin fan on the same arena as zhao ting? zhao ting¡¯s air control is very difficult to deal with. moreover, his special ability has reached c-! ¡°this time, lin fan is in danger!¡± li dongqiang¡¯s expression was also a little solemn as he said, ¡°lin fan¡­ he has to be careful.¡± li dongqiang and zhao ting had a short fight before. it was because of this that he knew very well how difficult it was to go against a user with air control and how powerful zhao ting was. xia xue said seriously, ¡°lin fan will be fine.¡± her beautiful eyes were fixed on arena 61 without blinking. at this moment, a loud and clear voice sounded from the scene. ¡°the match begins!¡± instantly, everyone in the arenas started moving. zhao ting, who was in arena 61, charged straight at lin fan. he wanted to rub lin fan¡¯s face on the ground to vent the anger in his heart. ¡°fall!¡± zhao ting punched out at lin fan. however, when he was only a few centimeters away from lin fan, his fist could not move any farther. this feeling¡­ it was as if there was an invisible wall in front of him. then, lin fan followed up with a punch. this punch landed heavily on zhao ting¡¯s face. suddenly, zhao ting¡¯s entire body seemed to have been hit by a speeding car. his entire body flew out and smashed fiercely under the arena, stirring up a cloud of dust. score! this scene shocked group 61 and the others. everything had changed too quickly. lin fan¡¯s attack was way too powerful. in arena 61, the eight people who were originally wary of each other suddenly gathered together. then, they looked at lin fan warily. this was the instinctive behavior of the weak when they encountered the strong. ¡°let¡¯s finish him off together first!¡± someone whispered. ¡°alright!¡± the remaining people responded. then, the eight of them used their special abilities and attacked lin fan from different angles. it was difficult for one to against eight. however, it was only difficult for ordinary people. lin fan was obviously not ordinary! his figure was like an illusion, constantly flashing among the eight people. a series of muffled sounds could be heard from arena 61. following that, all eight of them were like sandbags as they flew backward and landed below the arena. the match in arena 61 ended. lin fan scored nine points! this scene was witnessed by everyone outside the arena. many people exclaimed in admiration and discussion. ¡°just¡­ just now, what exactly happened in arena 61?¡± ¡°why did they suddenly fly out?¡± ¡°one minute? did the match in arena 61 last more than a minute?¡± ¡°this¡­ it¡¯s too fast!¡± ¡­ li ke turned his gaze to lin fan. he muttered in his heart, ¡®lin fan? is this a¡­ coincidence?¡¯ ¡­ lin fan did not care about the praises and questions of the crowd. after he jumped off the arena, he walked straight ahead. ¡°lin fan, wait no!¡± tian zhiwu exclaimed. ¡°mr. lin! what is the level of your special ability? oh my god! all nine of them were defeated by you in the blink of an eye! ¡°zhao ting was also among them. he¡¯s a c-class special ability user! ¡°could it be that you¡¯ve reached b+ like lei hu?! heavens! why re all the people called lin fan so awesome?¡± lin fan smiled. ¡°i don¡¯t know what level i am.¡± he was not spouting nonsense. this was because he did not know how special abilities were classified in the current world. naturally, he did not know what level he was at. li dongqiang gave him a thumbs-up. xia xue said excitedly, ¡°lin fan, i knew you could do it.¡± Chapter 670 - 670 Ranking; Forbidden Area No. 2 670 ranking; forbidden area no. 2 at this moment, li ke, who was deep in thought, suddenly had his phone ring in his pocket. he looked at the caller id, and his expression suddenly became serious. he quickly pressed the answer button. ¡°yes, sir! ¡°yes, sir! ¡°understood!¡± li ke answered a few times before hanging up. after hanging up the phone, his expression was no longer as relaxed as before. he looked very anxious. in fact, similar things did not only happen to li ke. almost at the same time, the same thing happened to all the examiners of the joint examination. some people seemed to have noticed something. however, the majority was still immersed in the exciting arena competition. ¡­ the group arena only lasted for 30 minutes. amidst the discussions of the crowd, the curtains quickly came to an end. at this moment, most of the students in group 7 were in a sorry state. this was normal. after all, the group arena required the students to face each other head-on. it was very intense. li ke, who was standing at the front, said bluntly, ¡°everyone we have your scores for the mecha competition in the morning and the group arena in the afternoon.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, a huge 3d projection immediately appeared on the scene, with names and scores. [lin fan: 57] [xia xue: 51] [li dongqiang: 39] ¡­ about a minute later, li ke said again, ¡°now, the overall ranking of the three schools will be announced!¡± as soon as he said this, the students began to discuss. ¡°overall ranking? is it going to be announced directly?¡± ¡°but our group 7 didn¡¯t compete with the other groups?¡± ¡°the joint examination of the three schools is about to end?¡± ¡­ the entire scene became a little chaotic. it was no wonder it was like this. after all, the joint examination of the three schools was an extremely grand event. it attracted the attention of almost everyone in the world. was it going to end in just one day? this was indeed unexpected. however, li ke did not pay attention to everyone¡¯s discussion. he casually waved his hand¡­ instantly, a new 3d projection appeared in the air. [lin fan: 57] [xia xue: 51] [song bin: 49] [sun daqiang: 40] [li dongqiang: 39] ¡­ even in the overall ranking, lin fan was still ranked first. when the people in group 7 saw his ranking, they were not too surprised. however, the students from the other groups started discussing again. ¡°first place, lin fan?¡± ¡°this¡­ could it be the hero from a thousand years ago, professor lin?¡± ¡°professor lin is also participating in the joint examination of the three schools?¡± ¡°heavens! this is unbelievable!¡± ¡­ in fact, it was not just the students who were surprised. the examiners were also stunned. some of the people who were familiar with li ke even sent a message asking about it. ¡­ at this moment, a loud voice suddenly rang out in the huge jiangbei university. ¡°hello everyone, i¡¯m hu yixiao!¡± the entire jiangbei university fell silent. everyone¡¯s hearts began to beat faster. hu yixiao! the current chief! he was a super expert ranked sixth on the strength rankings! he was an existence that countless people worshipped! now, he actually wanted to talk to them! hu yixiao said, ¡°i¡¯ve already watched everyone¡¯s mecha battle and group arena. to be honest, i¡¯m very disappointed! ¡°you lot are immature and full of flaws! ¡°the current world has given you the best environment and the best resources, yet this is all you can do? ¡°i¡¯m very disappointed!¡± everyone¡¯s ears buzzed, and endless guilt rose in their hearts. hu yixiao said after a while, ¡°you don¡¯t know this, but many people are unable to step out of the forbidden area for the rest of their lives in order to stop the forbidden area from expanding! ¡°you don¡¯t know that countless people die in the mouths of mutated beasts every year! ¡°perhaps we¡¯ve been protecting you too well.¡± hu yixiao let out a long sigh. ¡°but it¡¯s not too late yet! ¡°now, we have a chance! a chance to grow quickly and protect others! ¡°there¡¯s a mutated beast riot in forbidden area no. 2. i¡¯ll lead the way to provide support. do you dare to go with me?!¡± jiangbei university immediately gave a loud and clear response. ¡°we¡¯ll go!¡± ¡°you¡¯ll have to face the terrifying beasts alone there,¡± hu yixiao said again. ¡°are you afraid?¡± ¡°we¡¯re not afraid!¡± ¡°good!¡± hu yixiao shouted loudly, ¡°the top 500 students will gather at the school gate. the rest of you disperse because you don¡¯t have the qualifications to participate!¡± hu yixiao¡¯s voice stopped abruptly. the examiners quickly organized the top 500 students and headed for the school gate. the students who were ranked below 500 lowered their heads, feeling helpless, bitter, and depressed. ¡°it¡¯s great that we can go to forbidden area no. 2!¡± li dongqiang said excitedly. ¡°it¡¯s said that this is the forbidden area that the heroes had experienced a thousand years ago!¡± lin fan¡¯s face flashed with a strange expression. however, he did not say anything. li dongqiang patted tian zhiwu, who looked a little dejected. he said, ¡°don¡¯t look so bitter! although you can¡¯t go, i¡¯ll help you kill a few more exotic beasts. it¡¯ll be considered as you going!¡± tian zhiwu said, ¡°okay¡­?¡± li dongqiang said, ¡°look, i¡¯m already helping you. aren¡¯t you going to thank me?¡± the corner of tian zhiwu¡¯s mouth twitched slightly, but he said, ¡°alright, thank you.¡± ¡°you¡¯re not sincere at all,¡± li dongqiang said. lin fan could not help but laugh and shake his head when he heard the two of them arguing. he turned to xia xue and said, ¡°don¡¯t worry. there¡¯ll be no danger.¡± xia xue, who was still worried, heard this sentence, and the worry in her heart was instantly swept away. ¡°yes, yes!¡± she nodded vigorously. everyone talked as they walked. after a while, they arrived at the school gate. at this moment, a large luxury spacecraft had already stopped in front of them. when the students saw this, they all exclaimed in admiration. ¡°it¡¯s the m5 spacecraft!¡± ¡°heavens, this is the first time i¡¯ve seen the real thing!¡± ¡°so cool!¡± ¡­ when the top 500 students of the three schools were sitting in the m5 aircraft, the xia alliance¡¯s headquarters called for an emergency meeting. ¡°how¡¯s the situation in forbidden area no. 2?¡± ¡°the energy fluctuations in the core area are getting stronger and stronger. all the exotic beasts are going berserk. among them, more than a hundred sss-class exotic beasts appeared!¡± as soon as he said that, the atmosphere in the entire meeting room became extremely gloomy. a million exotic beasts, a hundred sss-class exotic beasts! it was very terrifying. the beasts were all gathered together. just thinking about it made one feel despair. Chapter 671 - 671 Entering the Forbidden Area; Confidence! 671 entering the forbidden area; confidence! the higher-ups of the xia alliance could already see the scene of the mutated beasts rampaging and causing a terrifying disaster. the entire conference room was silent. ¡°aren¡¯t we being a bit too hasty in letting the top 500 students from jiangbei, xia, and west universities into forbidden area no. 2?¡± ¡°after all, they¡¯re the future of earth. if they all die there, it¡¯ll be a huge loss for earth.¡± some people nodded in agreement. xue zhan, who was sitting at the top, said, ¡°how can you grow without going through the wind and rain? this is training for them. ¡°in addition, hu yixiao, liu qi, and my master, yu feng, have all gone to forbidden area no. 2. they will try their best to protect the students.¡± everyone nodded when they heard this. hu yixiao, liu qi, and yu feng¡­ the first two were the chiefs of the xia alliance, while the last one was the master of the three chiefs¡ªa legendary figure! the three of them were ranked sixth, fourth, and second respectively on the strength rankings. since they were protecting the students, the danger level would naturally be much lower. however, xue zhan¡¯s expression did not relax at all. he was an expert ranked third on the strength rankings. he knew very well how terrifying forbidden area no. 2 was. he silently prayed in his heart that everyone would be able to get through this crisis. ¡­ the m5 aircraft drew a beautiful arc in the air. about half an hour later, it slowly descended. the students got off the flying vehicle and saw a red forest in the distance. it was scarlet and strange! it made people flinch. some students even had the intention to retreat. at this moment, a tall and imposing figure suddenly appeared in front of the students with a strong gust of wind. it was hu yixiao, one of the chiefs of the xia alliance. when the students saw him, their hearts could not help but race. then, they bowed in unison and said, ¡°greetings, chief!¡± hu yixiao ignored the students. he stared at the red forest with his sharp eyes. after a while, he said, ¡°qin feiyu, wang qiang, liu baohua¡­ follow me into forbidden area no. 2. the rest of you will lead the students and follow behind.¡± ¡°yes, sir!¡± everyone said in unison. then, hu yixiao took the lead and entered forbidden area no. 2. li ke and the rest of the invigilators said loudly, ¡°everyone, keep up. don¡¯t run around, don¡¯t fall behind, and don¡¯t touch anything in the forbidden area¡ªincluding trees!¡± ¡°yes, sir!¡± the students said. the students were curious and nervous. finally, everyone slowly walked into forbidden area no. 2. outside, everyone could not sense anything unusual about the forbidden area at all. however, the moment they stepped into the forbidden area, they wre greeted by a wave of heat. as they breathed in, their blood began to boil. ¡°my strength seems to be increasing.¡± ¡°my special ability seems to be about to break through.¡± ¡°it¡¯s so hot, ah!¡± ¡°my strength is constantly increasing!¡± ¡­ everyone discussed and praised in low voices as they slowly moved forward. at this moment, a tree branch kept swaying above the head of a student in a black t-shirt, making him a little annoyed. he raised his hand and tried to break it. suddenly, the tree seemed to come alive as its branches grew. in the blink of an eye, the student in the black t-shirt was wrapped up like a dumpling. he kept struggling in the tree branch, but it was useless. he could only shout, ¡°help! teacher, help!¡± an examiner with a buzz cut jumped up, drew the flexible sword at his waist, and swung it several times. after a while, the student in the black t-shirt emerged safely from the branch. however, this action seemed to have completely infuriated the red trees. the surrounding red trees shook violently, and branches grew crazily, as if they wanted to surround and kill everyone here. another examiner quickly played the music. it was gentle and ethereal. soon, the red trees stopped shaking and slowly regained their calm. seeing this¡­ everyone heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°didn¡¯t i tell you not to touch anything in the forbidden area?!¡± the chief examiner shouted. the student in the black t-shirt lowered his head and did not dare to speak. ¡°alright, since no one is injured, let¡¯s continue,¡± an examiner said. the group continued to move forward. on the way, the students learned their lesson and did not dare to touch anything. however, there were many holes on the ground and the corpses of mutated beasts. it was extremely bloody. clearly, a battle had occurred here not long ago. many centipedes with scarlet eyes suddenly emerged from the ground. they were ferocious and terrifying! ¡°all students, prepare for battle. kill the armored centipedes!¡± the examiner standing at the front said. as soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and swung his saber. one of the armored centipedes broke into two. even so, it was still twisting its body with all its might. when the students heard this, they also began to attack the centipedes. these armored centipedes were clearly not very powerful. in the beginning, some students were almost injured. however, after a while, they found the rhythm of the battle. under the joint efforts of the few of them, they quickly killed one armored centipede after another. at this moment, a ten-meter-long giant centipede suddenly emerged from the ground. its legs were as sharp as steel blades. when it saw the students, it was as if it had seen the enemy who had killed its own descendants or as if it had seen a group of fat sheep. it opened its ferocious mouth and shot at the students. the three examiners standing at the front reacted extremely quickly. one of them turned his arm into a huge rock and punched out. one of them spat out scorching flames. one of them raised his saber and slashed down. in the blink of an eye, the giant centipede was broken into several pieces and fell to the ground, emitting black smoke. the students were both scared and excited at the same time. this was the strength of the examiners! when could they become so powerful? lin fan asked xia xue, ¡°are you okay?¡± ¡°i¡¯m fine,¡± xia xue said. ¡°the examiners are awesome!¡± li dongqiang said. ¡°lin fan, xia xue, when do you think we can become like them?¡± lin fan said, ¡°become like them? i don¡¯t think it¡¯s possible.¡± lin fan was not lying. that was because his current strength had long surpassed theirs. how could he become like them? li dongqiang thought that lin fan was not confident. he put his hand on his shoulder and said, ¡°don¡¯t be discouraged. as long as we work hard, there will definitely be no problem!¡± at this moment, a loud sound suddenly erupted from the depths of the mangroves. the mangroves jumped up and down. a gust of wind blew across, and everyone¡¯s clothes and hair rustled. li ke and the other examiners turned around and looked into the depths of the mangrove forest. their faces were filled with solemnity and horror. Chapter 672 - 672 Who Is He? 672 who is he? in front of him, a two-headed snake that was more than ten meters thick stood upright like a pillar that supported the sky. a golden-haired gorilla nearly a hundred meters tall pounded its chest and roared. a huge black eagle that covered the sky was circling around. a giant golden scorpion waved its steel pincers. ¡­ ¡°so many sss-class exotic beasts!¡± one of the examiners said in a hoarse voice. he was the squadron leader of a special ability squadron and had seen quite a few big scenes. however, at this moment, he could not help but be stunned. as soon as he said this, the students began to discuss. ¡°sss-class exotic beast? all of them?¡± ¡°there are so many sss-class monsters. what should we do now?¡± ¡°we¡¯re finished. we¡¯re all finished.¡± ¡­ the students¡¯ voices were filled with fear and even despair. lin fan said to xia xue, whose face was a little pale, ¡°don¡¯t worry, i¡¯ll be by your side to protect you.¡± his identity, at least in xia xue¡¯s eyes right now, was very ordinary and plain. however, his words made xia xue feel at ease immediately. she nodded vigorously and said, ¡°yes!¡± ¡­ at this moment, three figures that were not particularly tall suddenly appeared in front of the sss-class exotic beasts. they were hu yixiao, liu qi, and yu feng. the three of them swung their fists, kicked, and drew their sabers. the strong wind whistled, and the aura was terrifying. following that, one huge exotic beast after another was sent flying, beheaded, or exploded like a balloon¡­ this scene stunned everyone, and they kept gasping in admiration. ¡°that¡¯s chief hu and chief liu. who¡¯s the other person?¡± ¡°this is too amazing!¡± ¡°one move, one kill! those are sss-class exotic beasts!¡± ¡°the last one is elder yu!¡± ¡°as expected of the first chief. he¡¯s too strong!¡± ¡°idol, they¡¯re all my idols!¡± ¡­ as sss-class exotic beasts were dealt with one after another, the students¡¯ initial worry and fear turned into excitement. they were excited, but hu yixiao, liu qi, and yu feng, who were standing at the front, had ugly expressions on their faces. although they had dealt with sss-class exotic beasts with one move and it seemed very simple, they were using their full strength for each move. even they would not be able to take it anymore if they were to continuously use their full strength to attack. at this moment, in their field of vision, countless exotic beasts appeared in the distance. among them were hundreds of sss-class exotic beasts. hu yixiao panted heavily. ¡°what¡¯s going on in forbidden area no. 2? why are all the mutated beasts going berserk?¡± ¡°if you want to know the reason, i¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll have to go to the depths of the forbidden area,¡± said liu qi. hu yixiao shrugged. ¡°based on the performance of these exotic beasts, wouldn¡¯t they tear me apart?¡± ¡°master, what should we do now? the exotic beasts seem to be about to charge out again.¡± yu feng stared into the distance and said, ¡°replenish your strength and hold on!¡± after saying that, he took out a nutrient pack and poured it into his mouth. this was a special nutrient serum. one was enough to make an ordinary person not eat for a day. however, yu feng, who was ranked second on the strength rankings, had only recovered a little bit of his strength. of course, it was better than nothing. hu yixiao and liu qi also drank a few nutrient serum packs. at this moment, a large group of exotic beasts suddenly rushed over from afar, and the entire ground trembled again. ¡°again!¡± hu yixiao sighed. as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly threw a punch. a large number of low-level exotic beasts were directly turned into meat pies. liu qi and yu feng also attacked. low-level exotic beasts could not pose any threat to them at all, so it was easy to deal with them. however, at this moment, more than ten enormous sss-class exotic beasts rushed out from underground and in the distance. this caught them off guard. ¡°f*ck!¡± hu yixiao shouted and punched with all his might. two sss-class exotic beasts were killed on the spot. when he threw out his third punch, his strength was a little difficult to sustain. it was actually blocked by the giant lizard. the giant lizard seized the opportunity and opened its bloody mouth to bite hu yixiao. at this moment, yu feng suddenly turned around and cut off the lizard¡¯s head with his saber. blood splattered everywhere. ¡°pay attention to controlling your strength!¡± ¡°yes, sir!¡± hu yixiao heaved a sigh of relief at first, but then he spoke nervously like a new student. hu yixiao, liu qi, and yu feng attacked the exotic beasts again. after eliminating this wave of exotic beasts, they were even more tired. however, they had no intention of backing down. this was because this place was close to the exit of the forbidden area. if they backed down and allowed the exotic beasts to charge out of the forbidden area, it would definitely bring an incomparably terrifying disaster. they had barely taken a few breaths of rest when the entire forbidden area suddenly shook again. moreover, the magnitude of the tremors this time was far greater than before. cracks appeared on the ground, and the red trees also tilted and fell. in the next moment¡­ countless exotic beasts rushed over like a flood. hu yixiao, liu qi¡­ even yu feng¡¯s expression changed drastically. ¡°hurry!¡± yu feng shouted. the three of them hurriedly attacked. however, the three of them were already exhausted. how could they deal with so many exotic beasts? especially since there were dozens of sss-class exotic beasts! the three of them used all their strength, but it was still difficult for them to resist. the students in the distance seemed to have noticed something unusual. they felt the terrifying pressure emitted by the mutated beast, and their bodies trembled. ¡°s-so terrifying¡­¡± ¡°can the first chief and the others defeat them?¡± ¡°yes¡­ it should be possible¡­¡± ¡­ lin fan just stood beside xia xue and looked ahead silently. he suddenly frowned and said softly, ¡°xia xue, wait for me here for a while.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared. hu yixiao had just used all his strength to send a giant golden python flying. before he could catch his breath, he suddenly felt a chill behind him. a fiery-red scorpion was flying toward his head with its sharp stinger. hu yixiao wanted to dodge, but it was too late. meanwhile, yu feng and liu qi were dealing with the other sss-class exotic beasts. hu yixiao felt despair in his heart. ¡°it¡¯s over!¡± at this moment, a tall and handsome figure suddenly appeared in front of him. it was lin fan! lin fan pointed at the scorpion that was flying over. its sharp and sturdy stinger shattered like a bubble! no! it was not just the stinger that shattered. the huge fiery red scorpion turned into nothingness like a bubble. this scene stunned hu yixiao. at this moment, hu yixiao only had one thought in his mind, ¡®who was he?¡¯ Chapter 673 - 673 Annihilation; Finally Meeting! 673 annihilation; finally meeting! lin fan ignored hu yixiao completely as he pointed at the mutated beast in front of him. another exotic beast turned into a bubble and disappeared. following that, lin fan pointed at a few more mutated beasts. with each point, a strange beast disappeared completely. mysterious and tyrannical! hu yixiao¡¯s jaw dropped in shock. when could sss-class exotic beasts be dealt with so easily? however, lin fan was frowning. he still felt that it was too slow. lin fan suddenly stretched out his hands. in an instant, the exotic beasts that were roaring crazily and waving their claws ferociously all stopped moving as if they had been immobilized. then, lin fan spat out a single word, ¡°destroy!¡± after a soft sound, all the exotic beasts, including dozens of sss-class exotic beasts, all shattered like bubbles and disappeared without a trace. the entire world fell silent! everyone¡¯s mouth was wide open as they stared at lin fan in shock. hu yixiao stammered, ¡°you¡­ you are¡­¡± ¡°lin fan.¡± after lin fan spat out these two words, he took a step forward and instantly came to xia xue¡¯s side. xia xue could not help but ask, ¡°are you professor lin from a thousand years ago?¡± everyone around pricked up their ears. obviously, they were also very curious about this. lin fan nodded. ¡°yes.¡± he did not want to tell any lies to xia xue. furthermore, this matter was nothing to lin fan. although everyone had already expected this, they were still shocked after hearing lin fan admit it. professor lin! that great man! he had lived for more than 1,000 years! in xia xue¡¯s mind, she could not help but think of the scene of her meeting with lin fan. no wonder the imperial hotel treated lin fan so politely. no wonder lin fan had such a weird expression when she was introducing jiangbei university to him, especially when she was introducing lin fan¡¯s achievements. no wonder he could solve the math problem so easily. ¡­ no wonder she felt so at ease when she was by his side. thinking of this, xia xue¡¯s pretty face could not help but blush. she stole a glance at lin fan and realized that he was also looking at her. xia xue was even more shy, and she wanted to bury her head somewhere. ¡°boom!¡± at this moment, an unprecedented loud noise appeared in the depths of the forbidden land. the powerful energy storm raised a cloud of dust. cracks appeared on the ground. moreover, the cracks were growing and expanding. following that, countless exotic beasts fled from the depths of the forbidden land. this time, whether it was the number of exotic beasts, the aura they emitted, or the degree of violence, they all surpassed the previous few tides. this feeling was as if there was something extremely terrifying behind them. the students were so scared that their faces turned slightly pale. then, they all looked at lin fan. lin fan frowned. ¡°the depths of the forbidden area, this aura¡­ they all seem familiar. what is it?¡± as he spoke, he waved his hand. the beasts that were running away disappeared. it felt as if the previous beast tide was just an illusion. an earth-shattering sound rang out in the depths of the forbidden area. the vigorous energy surged like a tide. lin fan¡¯s eyes moved as he said in shock, ¡°this feeling is¡­ it¡¯s them!¡± then, he was about to step out. but soon, he thought of xia xue next to him. so, he said, ¡°xia xue, let¡¯s go inside the forbidden area together.¡± inside the forbidden area? that place was absolutely terrifying and dangerous. xia xue did not hesitate at all and nodded directly. ¡°alright.¡± as long as she was with lin fan, she would feel at ease. instantly, the two of them disappeared from where they were. the next moment, lin fan and xia xue appeared in the depths of the forbidden land. this place was filled with dense white fog, making it impossible for people to see the scenery in front of them. of course, this was only a problem ordinary people faced. lin fan was not an ordinary person! he stared straight ahead, his body trembling slightly. he was excited! that was because there was a huge pit under the white fog. inside the hole was an energy barrier. there were many people lying inside the light barrier. these people were all lin fan¡¯s family and loved ones from a thousand years ago! his grandpa, lin liqiang, his grandma, zhang guidan, his dad, lin tao, his mom, dai weixue, his sister, lin xiaoyao¡­ his lovers, xia bing, hu tian, han tian, song jiaxin, su ningjing, ling rou, qiu ziqian, huang ling, chen xin, xu jingrou¡­ all of them were here! lin fan had missed them dearly during this period. now, they had finally appeared in front of him. moreover, looking at their condition, their bodies were still full of vitality. all of them were still alive! how could lin fan not be excited? at this moment, the energy barrier in the hole suddenly shattered. lin fan was worried that something unexpected might happen. hence, he hurriedly poured vigorous life force into everyone¡¯s bodies. after a while, lin tao, dai weixue, lin xiaoyao, han tian, hu tian, and the others opened their eyes. at first, they were still at a loss. but soon, their gazes landed on lin fan. ¡°lin fan!¡± ¡°lin fan, is that really you?¡± ¡°this is great!¡± everyone shouted happily. hu tian, han tian, song jiaxin, su ningjing, and the rest rushed toward lin fan. then, they either held his hands tightly or hugged him¡­ they had not seen each other for many years, and their feelings for each other were deep. lin fan said softly, ¡°it¡¯s been hard on you all these years.¡± ¡°we didn¡¯t suffer at all. we were just sleeping. when we woke up, we saw you,¡± song jiaxin said. ¡°yes.¡± the women nodded. lin fan said, ¡°right, why were you guys lying here?¡± ¡°it was xia xue and xia bing who helped us. that day, they said that you didn¡¯t die. if we slept together, maybe we could see you again,¡± song jiaxin said happily. lin fan nodded his head in realization. from the super smart watch, he already knew that xia xue and xia bing had absorbed a lot of energy and thus had powerful strength. therefore, it was a reasonable explanation. at this moment, he seemed to have thought of something and was about to turn around to ask. xia bing, who was the only one lying on the ground, suddenly opened her eyes. at the same time, the rolling white fog penetrated xia xue¡¯s body. it howled wildly, sending sand and stones flying everywhere. the blue sky suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light. the golden light continued to spread out and gradually formed a huge golden door with four golden words¡ª¡¯congratulations on becoming an immortal!¡¯ Chapter 674 - 674 Wedding; Blessing! 674 wedding; blessing! everyone, including the people in forbidden area no. 2, the people in the xia alliance, and even the people from all over the world¡­ all of them looked up at the sky and started discussing. ¡°what¡¯s that?¡± ¡°is this a 3d projection?¡± ¡°congratulations on becoming an immortal! someone is about to become an immortal? are there really immortals in this world?¡± ¡°a thousand years ago, this scene also appeared!¡± ¡°heavens!¡± ¡­ at this time, the white fog of forbidden area no. 2 had completely disappeared into xia xue¡¯s body. suddenly, xia xue looked at lin fan with a completely different expression. gentle as water, hot as fire! she could not help but walk forward and say in a coquettish voice, ¡°lin fan!¡± almost at the same time, xia bing also walked over and said, ¡°lin fan!¡± when lin fan heard these two voices, he knew that xia xue had recovered her memories from a thousand years ago. however, he still could not help but ask, ¡°xia xue, how did you lose your memory before?¡± xia xue whispered, ¡°a thousand years ago, after obtaining the power, we had a special ability to calculate. we knew that you would come back in almost 1,000 years, so we decided to seal everyone here. ¡°but i was worried that you wouldn¡¯t see us and would go somewhere else in search of us. ¡°therefore, after nearly a thousand years, i forcefully woke up from the seal. i was afraid that it would affect the seal, so i used a special ability to ensure that the seal would operate normally at the cost of my memories and power.¡± lin fan said, ¡°thank you.¡± ¡°it¡¯s nothing.¡± xia xue and xia bing shook their heads gently, their faces full of happy smiles. at this time, two pillars of light suddenly appeared from the golden door in the air and fell on xia xue and xia bing. a strong suction force appeared, as if it wanted to pull them in. lin fan¡¯s eyes shone with a golden light as he looked at the golden door and said, ¡°we still have things to do. let¡¯s go in next time. break!¡± the pillar of light, the golden door, and the golden words¡­ shattered and disappeared. it was as if these things were just mirages. then, lin fan said, ¡°let¡¯s go home.¡± instantly, lin fan, lin liqiang, zhang guidan, lin tao, dai weixue, lin xiaoyao, xia bing, xia xue, hu tian, han tian, song jiaxin¡­ all disappeared on the spot. in the next moment, they appeared in the coiling dragon villa. that was right! this was the coiling dragon villa from a thousand years ago. however, the location was the same, but the buildings and area were completely different. the coiling dragon villa had expanded by more than ten times. it even included the entire lake. on top of the artistic foundation of the villas¡¯ architecture, new technology was added. the trees were lush, and the flowers were blooming. this place¡­ was simply a paradise. after everyone came here, they all liked this place. a month passed in the blink of an eye. on this day, the entire coiling dragon villa was surrounded by countless red roses. bright red lanterns and banners could be seen everywhere. it was extremely festive. today, lin fan was going to marry his lovers forever. lin xiaoyao looked at the tall man in a suit in front of her and praised, ¡°brother, you¡¯re so handsome!¡± lin fan smiled. ¡°of course!¡± at this moment, a large group of women in white wedding dresses slowly walked over from afar. they were xia xue, xia bing, hu tian, han tian, song jiaxin, su ningjing, ling rou, qiu ziqian, huang ling, chen xin, and xu jingrou¡­ everyone had a sweet smile on their faces. no guests were invited to this wedding. it was carried out quietly under the witness of his parents. even so, everyone still felt happy. a year passed in the blink of an eye. lin fan reclaimed a piece of land in the coiling dragon villa. at this moment, he was planting soybeans with hu tian, song jiaxin, su ningjing, and the others. they were also watering carrots. they were extremely satisfied and relaxed. ¡°jiaxin, your face is a little dirty,¡± lin fan said. hence, he reached out to wipe the dirt off song jiaxin¡¯s face. however, he had been planting vegetables all this time, and there was more soil on his hands than on song jiaxin¡¯s face. this wipe made song jiaxin¡¯s face even dirtier. ¡°jiaxin, your face looks very unique now,¡± hu tian chuckled. song jiaxin quickly realized something and rebuked, ¡°ah! lin fan, you have to help me clean it up.¡± ¡°alright, alright, alright,¡± lin fan said. hence, he wiped song jiaxin¡¯s face with his hands. with this wipe, song jiaxin¡¯s face completely turned black. immediately, laughter rang out in the fields. as the sun gradually set, everyone sat around to eat, relaxed and satisfied. after dinner, they gathered to watch a movie. a day passed in the blink of an eye. the next day, lin fan woke up and stood in the courtyard to take a breath of fresh air. at this moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the blue sky. in the clear sky, a dazzling golden light appeared again. the golden light continued to gather, gradually forming a huge golden door in the air. xia xue and xia bing instantly appeared beside lin fan. lin liqiang, zhang guidan, lin tao, dai weixue, lin xiaoyao, hu tian, han tian, song jiaxin, su ningjing, ling rou, qiu ziqian, huang ling, and the others seemed to have sensed something different. they walked out and looked into the sky. in fact, they were not the only ones who noticed this change. everyone in the world also noticed it and started discussing again. ¡°this golden door again.¡± ¡°what is it?¡± ¡°can someone explain?¡± ¡­. lin fan smiled. ¡°grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, lil yao, and everyone, don¡¯t worry. i¡¯ll go up and take a look. i should be back soon.¡± ¡°don¡¯t worry about us, lil fan,¡± lin tao said. ¡°just do what you should do.¡± ¡°lil fan, you must be careful!¡± dai weixue said. ¡°alright,¡± said lin fan. then, lin fan spent a few moments with hu tian, han tian, song jiaxin, su ningjing, ling rou, qiu ziqian, huang ling, chen xin, and xu jingrou¡­ then, he looked at xia xue and xia bing. the three of them nodded. in the next moment, lin fan, xia xue, and xia bing turned into three streaks of light, gold, blue, and red. they shot into the sky and entered the golden door. after the three of them entered, the golden door gradually closed and disappeared. meanwhile, lin tao, dai weixue, lin xiaoyao, hu tian, han tian, song jiaxin, su ningjing, ling rou, qiu ziqian, huang ling, and the others were still staring at the blue sky. they did not speak for a long time. their hearts were filled with prayers. ¡®lin fan, you have to come back safely.¡¯ Chapter 675 - 675 Success; No Trust! 675 success; no trust! inside the door was a boundless void passage. lin fan, xia xue, and xia bing were like three colorful lights that flew forward. at this moment, a ferocious golden dragon claw suddenly appeared in the void and shot toward the three of them. lin fan raised his brows and hurriedly brought xia xue and xia bing to jump through space to dodge. space was unpredictable and had the magical power to isolate everything. however, even though lin fan had entered the space, the golden dragon claw was still following closely behind him. no! not only did it follow behind, but its speed also increased and entered lin fan¡¯s body. xia xue and xia bing panicked. ¡°lin fan, are you okay?¡± lin fan felt the changes in his body and said, ¡°i¡¯m fine.¡± he clenched his fists and said, ¡°it¡¯s strange. i seem to have gained a lot of strength.¡± ¡°are you really alright?¡± xia xue and xia bing were still a little worried. the power and might that the golden dragon claw emitted earlier was too powerful and terrifying. when they saw it suddenly fly into lin fan¡¯s body, how could they not be worried? lin fan shook his head. ¡°don¡¯t worry, i¡¯m fine. moreover, this golden dragon claw gives me a particularly familiar feeling.¡± ¡°familiar?¡± xia xue and xia bing were puzzled. ¡°yes, this feeling¡­ it¡¯s as if this dragon claw has always belonged to me,¡± lin fan said. at this moment, another golden dragon claw flew over. although the dragon claw did give him a familiar feeling, lin fan did not dare to let it fly into his body. after all, he did not know if it would bring about some unknown changes. the power of space could not stop the dragon claw. he would use the power of time, then! lin fan used all of his time power to stop the golden dragon claw. generally speaking, under the effect of such a powerful time force, it was impossible for anything to survive. everything in the surroundings would be fixed and unable to move. however¡­ the golden dragon claw was not affected at all. no, that was not accurate. its speed had suddenly increased. it felt like the golden dragon claw had absorbed the power of time. lin fan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°what?¡± the golden dragon claw sank into lin fan¡¯s body once more. ¡°lin fan¡­¡± xia xue and xia bing said anxiously. lin fan did not reply. instead, he muttered to himself, ¡°so that¡¯s how it is¡­¡± at this moment, another golden dragon claw flew over. this time, lin fan did not choose to dodge or resist. instead, he allowed it to enter his body. instantly, lin fan¡¯s arm shone with a dazzling golden light. upon closer inspection, he discovered that they were actually golden scales. lin fan said, ¡°as expected, the fourth claw!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, another dragon claw flew over. ¡°the fifth claw!¡± after the fifth dragon claw entered lin fan¡¯s body, golden scales started to appear on his limbs. ¡°torso! ¡°head!¡± the body and the head of a dragon flew over together and quickly entered lin fan¡¯s body. in an instant, an extremely powerful aura erupted, forming a violent hurricane in the spatial passageway. at the same time, lin fan¡¯s body was covered in golden scales that were emitting an incomparably dazzling golden radiance. from afar, he looked like a golden sun. he was so dazzling. a dragon¡¯s roar suddenly sounded in the void. the space shook violently and shook continuously. xia xue and xia bing looked up. their beautiful eyes were full of surprise and worry. ¡°lin fan¡­¡± at this moment, a loud and clear voice suddenly sounded in the endless sky. ¡°chaos dragon god, i didn¡¯t expect you to succeed.¡± then, a huge red shadow whose face could not be seen clearly appeared in the distance. ¡°a short thousand years. unbelievable.¡± another loud burst of time rippled back and forth. a huge green shadow slowly appeared. ¡°i¡¯ve thought of many possibilities, but i never thought that the chaos dragon god would succeed,¡± a huge blue shadow said. ¡°this is too surprising,¡± the enormous gray shadow said. ¡°it¡¯s so unexpected that i don¡¯t know what to say.¡±the huge purple figure whose face could not be seen said. instantly, the entire space was filled with red, green, blue, gray, purple, and gold. it was a colorful sight that contained a unique beauty. at this moment, lin fan¡¯s figure slowly emerged from the boundless golden light. at this moment, his entire body was covered in golden scales, as if he was wearing a set of golden armor. it was very strange. lin fan first gave xia xue and xia bing a reassuring look and said, ¡°don¡¯t worry, i¡¯m fine.¡± after xia xue and xia bing heard lin fan¡¯s voice, they both heaved a sigh of relief. then, lin fan raised his head and looked at the red, green, blue, gray, and purple figures in front of him. ¡°but i succeeded.¡± ¡°yeah, it worked! this meant that there might still be hope for this world.¡± the huge red figure said, ¡°in that case, let¡¯s do as we said back then and give him our power.¡± ¡°black, you come out too.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, an extremely cold aura spread over. this feeling¡­ it was as if it wanted to completely freeze a person¡¯s flesh and blood, even their soul. ¡°give it to him? why?!¡± an earth-shattering sound reverberated through the heavens and earth. ¡°the chaos dragon god is just a sleepyhead. he¡¯s greedy for money and playful¡­ he¡¯s just a guy who only knows how to enjoy himself! ¡°the reason why he was able to succeed this time was entirely due to luck! ¡°he was lucky this time. next time, will he be able to help our world survive the crisis? ¡°why should i give him my power? ¡°i don¡¯t believe in him!¡± his voice was like a thunderbolt that caused everyone¡¯s ears to buzz. the space was like glass that had been hit hard, and cracks appeared. lin fan was not affected at all. he raised his head slowly and looked straight into the dark void. ¡°you don¡¯t believe me? then i¡¯ll make you believe me!¡± ¡°is that so? keke!¡± a cold laugh came from the darkness. a giant pitch-black shadow slowly walked out. every step he took was like the beating of a drum. loud sounds rang out continuously, and they burst out with incomparably strong power, causing the space to collapse crazily. in the next moment, the endless darkness was like a long spear as it shot toward lin fan. it was sharp and terrifying! however, lin fan did not seem to notice it at all. he just stood there without moving. when the black spear was only a centimeter away from lin fan, it was blocked by the golden light around lin fan¡¯s body. a loud sound of metal colliding could be heard. a tyrannical energy storm shot out, blowing xia xue and xia bing¡¯s hair and clothes. they could not help but use their hands to block it. Chapter 676 - 676 Strength; Crisis! 676 strength; crisis! one had to know¡­ xia xue and xia bing now had extraordinary power. however, just the aftermath of the battle was difficult for the two of them to resist. the strength of lin fan and black was evident. the red, green, blue, gray, and purple shadows in the air only watched from afar. they did not speak or interfere. clearly, they wanted to see how strong lin fan was right now and if he was worthy of them giving him their power. the first attack had failed. in the darkness, countless black spears shot out once again. like a rain of arrows, they shot toward lin fan. the spears collided with the golden light on lin fan¡¯s body. the loud sound continued, but it did not cause any damage to lin fan at all. seeing this¡­ the huge black shadow formed a huge claw and slapped at lin fan. at this moment, the golden glow on lin fan¡¯s body also formed a huge claw. one black and one gold, the two claws collided in the air. they erupted with terrifying power. the wind whistled, and the space cracked and collapsed. it was extremely terrifying. both sides were equally strong. at this moment, the golden glow around lin fan¡¯s body suddenly condensed into a golden claw. the golden claw swung fiercely, tearing the black claw in front of it into pieces. then, lin fan said casually, ¡°my turn.¡± in an instant¡­ the golden arrow rain that filled the sky shot out crazily. all of them disappeared into the endless darkness. the giant shadow in the darkness seemed to have the power to devour everything. it was deep and vast. but soon, a dash of gold appeared on the surface of the giant shadow in the darkness. ¡°what?¡± in the darkness, a shocked voice came. the golden arrow rain did not stop. on the contrary, it became even more violent. in the next moment¡­ lin fan raised his hand. boundless golden light suddenly condensed and turned into a huge golden sword that soared into the sky. ¡°slash!¡± the golden longsword swept with the power to destroy the world as it descended. there was no sound. the entire world seemed to have been muted. at this moment¡­ space and time completely stopped. only a golden longsword slowly descended. the giant black shadow split into two, and a dazzling golden light spread out from the two halves. following that, extremely violent astral winds surged wantonly. they almost sent xia xue and xia bing flying. after a long time, the strong winds gradually stopped. ¡°what do you think?¡± lin fan said calmly. the giant black shadow that had been split into two slightly wiggled its huge body. ¡°you won,¡± he said sadly. the giant red shadow in the air said to itself, ¡°looking back on those days, black liked to attack, green liked to defend, gray liked to destroy, purple liked to charm, and i liked to create. chaos dragon god, you like treasures and sleep. it¡¯s not bad for us to do what we like to do. ¡°who knew that cracks would appear in the world and it could shatter at any time? ¡°therefore, all of us tried to repair the world. however, after tens of thousands of years, we couldn¡¯t do anything. ¡°later on, we accidentally discovered the world-core. we even discovered that our powers all came from the world-core. as long as all the energies were combined, we could repair the world. ¡°unfortunately, no matter what, we couldn¡¯t get close to it, let alone devour it. ¡°after that, green and i speculated that only by reincarnating as a new human would it be possible to devour it. ¡°because humanity can be said to be completely nurtured by the world-core. humans are its children. ¡°the few of us hesitated and didn¡¯t dare to take the risk. ¡°however, you, chaos dragon god, found it too boring and wanted to experience the life of a human being. therefore, you chose to descend into the world. ¡°at first, we didn¡¯t pay much attention to this matter because you, chaos dragon god, like to indulge yourself. ¡°you even created a system so that you¡¯d have endless wealth as a new human¡­¡± the giant red figure¡¯s voice paused for a moment, as if it had fallen into some kind of memory. after a while, he continued, ¡°but who would have thought that you would come into contact with the world-core in just 20 years? ¡°then, in a mere thousand years, you completely fused with it. ¡°chaos god dragon¡­¡± at this moment, lin fan, who had been silent all this while, suddenly interrupted, ¡°my name is lin fan now.¡± the giant red shadow was stunned for a moment before saying, ¡°alright. lin fan¡­ are you ready to repair the world?¡± the moment he said that, lin fan recalled his father, mother, sister, hu tian, han tian, qiu ziqian, huang ling, and his other family members and lovers. then, he said seriously, ¡°i¡¯m ready.¡± ¡°then receive the power!¡± the giant red shadow said. a red pillar of light that was filled with pure energy flew into lin fan¡¯s body. ¡°and mine!¡± ¡°mine too!¡± ¡°lin fan, you have to repair this world!¡± ¡°i¡¯ll leave the world to you!¡± the huge shadows shouted out one after another and shot out pure energy. it all flew toward lin fan. the giant black shadow that had been split into two did not speak. however, he did not hesitate and shot out black energy. instantly, lin fan¡¯s entire body was enveloped by all sorts of energy. the sight was multi-colored and gorgeous. it made one look up to lin fan. lin fan¡¯s figure grew taller and taller. in contrast, the red, green, blue, gray, purple, and black shadows kept shrinking. at this moment, a loud dragon¡¯s roar sounded in the void, shaking the surroundings. then, a five-colored dragon soared into the sky, emitting an endless and terrifying pressure. the red shadow was a little tired. ¡°lin fan, why didn¡¯t you take all the energy?¡± the five-colored dragon slowly condensed into the figure of lin fan, who was emitting a golden light. he said, ¡°if i take any more, you won¡¯t be able to live. my current energy is enough to repair the world.¡± ¡°but¡­¡± the red shadow seemed to want to say something else. ¡°don¡¯t worry,¡± said lin fan. then, he said to xia xue and xia bing, ¡°do you want to go to the horizon with me?¡± xia xue and xia bing nodded in unison. in their hearts, as long as they were with lin fan, it was enough. instantly, the three of them disappeared from where they were. in the next moment, they appeared at the edge of the wall of the world. the wall of the world was the protective layer of the world and the basic condition for the formation of the world. at this moment, countless cracks had appeared on the surface of the wall of the world, as if it would shatter at any moment. once it shattered, the entire world would be instantly attacked by the chaotic astral winds. it would turn into dust. it was a world crisis. Chapter 677 - 677 Repairing the Door! 677 repairing the door! lin fan did not attack right away. instead, he started to observe them carefully, as though he was trying to find some sort of pattern from these cracks. xia xue could not help but ask, ¡°lin fan, how did these cracks come about? are they easy to repair?¡± lin fan said, ¡°the first possibility is that the world might have been attacked. if that¡¯s the case, it¡¯ll be easier to fix the cracks. ¡°the second possibility is that the world¡¯s lifespan is coming to an end. if that¡¯s the case, it¡¯ll be more troublesome.¡± ¡°then how should we repair it?¡± xia bing asked. ¡°the world is weaved by the net of laws, and so is the wall of the world. as long as you find the thread of the net, then inject the power of laws along the thread, you can continue weaving and repairing it,¡± lin fan said. as he spoke, his eyes flashed with golden light. he quickly locked onto the crack on the left. then, he waved his hand. ¡°whoosh!¡± a long line of rule force wriggled out. lin fan seized the time to pour in the power of rule force and weaved it continuously. one, two, three¡­ many of the cracks were being stitched up and repaired. the entire wall of the world was gradually developing in a rounded direction. lin fan¡¯s forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat. obviously, repairing the cracks was also quite difficult for him. after an unknown period of time, the last crack was finally repaired. seeing this¡­ lin fan heaved a sigh of relief. however, before he could rejoice, another crack spread out. lin fan¡¯s brows raised. ¡°what?¡± even if the world was old, it was impossible for cracks to appear immediately after it was repaired. lin fan¡¯s eyes were like two suns, dazzling and eye-catching as he stared at the crack. there seemed to be a deep passage in the crack. at the end of the passage was an ancient door covered in cracks. on the door was a traditional hua character that said ¡®qian¡¯. lin fan was shocked. ¡°what is this?¡± he released a wisp of spiritual power and came to the front of the ancient door. he felt the heavy pressure spreading from it and did not dare to touch it for a moment. lin fan pondered for a moment before bringing xia xue and xia bing back into the void. at this moment, the red, green, blue, gray, purple, and black shadows had already recovered some of their strength. when they saw lin fan, they quickly asked. ¡°how is it? did you successfully repair the cracks in the wall of the world?¡± ¡°how¡¯s the situation?¡± they had been working hard for the rift for tens of thousands of years, and now, they had lost most of their power. they were extremely looking forward to the result of success. lin fan said, ¡°the cracks have been repaired.¡± as soon as he said this, all the shadows let out a hearty laugh. ¡°good!¡± ¡°that¡¯s great!¡± ¡°finally, we succeeded!¡± this had been their wish for many years, and it had finally been fulfilled. their efforts and sacrifices were not in vain! at this moment, lin fan said, ¡°don¡¯t be happy too early.¡± ¡°i just finished repairing the cracks, but another crack immediately appeared. in addition, i saw an ancient door that was about to shatter in the crack.¡± the shadows immediately started discussing. ¡°how did this happen?¡± ¡°why did the crack suddenly appear again after the repairs?¡± ¡°lin fan, did you not repair the cracks properly?¡± ¡­ the joy from before immediately turned into endless sadness. this was simply throwing them from the sky to the ground. it was no wonder that they would be like this. at this moment, the red shadow hurriedly asked, ¡°is there a word on the door? does it say ¡®qian¡¯?¡± this time, it was lin fan¡¯s turn to be shocked. ¡°how did you know?¡± ¡°it¡¯s true,¡± muttered the red shadow. ¡°the legend is true.¡± ¡°what legend?¡± lin fan asked. the other shadows also cast questioning looks at him. ¡°red, what do you know?¡± ¡°hurry up and tell us.¡± ¡°why is there a door in the crack?¡± ¡­ ¡°bring me to the door first,¡± said the red shadow.¡± lin fan nodded his head. the next moment, lin fan, xia xue, xia bing, red, green, blue, gray, purple, and black appeared in front of the door. ¡°this¡­ what a powerful pressure.¡± ¡°when did this door appear in the crack?¡± ¡°what is it that left so many cracks on this door?¡± ¡­ as everyone discussed, their gazes fell on the red shadow. the red shadow did not speak. he just stared at the door. after a while, he said, ¡°as expected, the legend is true. ¡°it¡¯s rumored that there¡¯s a world lord in our world. he¡¯s called qian sheng, and he has endless power. ¡°when qian sheng came to this world, it was still barren. therefore, he used his supreme power to create mountains, rivers, animals, and plants¡­ after countless years of reproduction, this world came to be what it¡¯s like now. ¡°later on, the world was destroyed by an unknown force, and a huge hole appeared. ¡°in order to prevent the world from shattering, he refined the qian door to repair it, allowing the world to regain its peace. ¡°in the past, i thought that this was just a legend¡­ ¡°if he¡¯s so powerful, why are there so many cracks on the door now?¡± the blue shadow asked. ¡°also, where did he go?¡± ¡°i don¡¯t know either.¡± the red shadow shook its head. at this moment, the entire door suddenly emitted a loud sound. the door that was already covered in cracks immediately showed more cracks. it was one step closer to being completely shattered. ¡°what?¡± everyone exclaimed in unison. ¡°something is hitting the door!¡± ¡°what should we do now?¡± ¡°i¡¯m afraid the door won¡¯t be able to hold on for long.¡± their tone was extremely solemn. they all knew that once the door was broken, a huge hole would appear in the wall of the world in a short period of time. moreover, the existence that was crashing into the door was probably extremely powerful. it was very likely that they were enemies and not friends! without a doubt, this was a huge crisis. lin fan said, ¡°let¡¯s go back and think of a way.¡± everyone looked deeply at the door and said, ¡°alright.¡± lin fan, xia xue, and xia bing returned to the coiling dragon villa in jiangbei. when lin tao, dai weixue, lin xiaoyao, hu tian, song jiaxin, and the others saw them, they were all overjoyed. ¡°lin fan, you guys are back!¡± ¡°are you hungry? do you want to eat something?¡± ¡°are you thirsty?¡± everyone spoke up one after another, asking about their well-being. it was very warm. ten days passed in a flash. these few days, lin fan had been spending time with his family. he looked at his family¡¯s happy faces and felt happy but also a little heavy. that was because he thought of the door and the crack¡­ once the door was broken and the enemy appeared, this happiness might turn into nothingness. he did not want that to happen. lin fan started to think about how to stop this from happening. the only way was to become stronger. only when one was strong enough could one not fear the enemy. he could be like the legendary qian sheng who could stop the wall of the world from breaking. Chapter 678 - 678 Becoming Stronger; Ways to Stop It! 678 becoming stronger; ways to stop it! lin fan sat in the courtyard and started to think about how he should improve. the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth had all reached the perfect level. the five elements alone already possessed extraordinary power. if the five elements combined, how strong would that be? thinking up to this point, lin fan secretly circulated the power of the five elements. the five elements were five completely different forces. they complemented and countered each other, repelling each other. how difficult would it be to merge them into one? when the five types of energy combined, they suddenly twisted and expanded violently. a terrifying explosion instantly occurred. the entire ground shook. xia xue, xia bing, hu tian, song jiaxin, and the others hurriedly ran over, their faces full of worry. lin fan said, ¡°i¡¯m researching something. don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s fine.¡± hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. and so, lin fan started his research again. after that, similar explosions occurred frequently. at first, everyone was very worried. however, seeing that lin fan was safe and sound, they slowly relaxed. ¡­ a month passed in the blink of an eye. metal, wood, water, fire, and earth still showed no signs of fusing. lin fan suddenly had a thought. maybe he had not injected enough energy. hence, lin fan increased the amount of five-element power he poured in, forming a huge five-colored energy ball in the air. this five-colored energy ball kept twisting and shaking. just as lin fan thought that there was a chance of fusing¡­ it suddenly exploded! this explosion caused the earth to tremble and the mountains to shake. a strong wind howled and dust filled the air. if not for lin fan¡¯s timely release of the spatial seal, the area within a few dozen miles might have been razed to the ground. he had failed again! however, lin fan was not depressed. that was because, at the moment of the explosion, he vaguely felt the opportunity to merge the five elements into one. hence, lin fan hurriedly gathered the power of the five elements and fused them together. soon, another five-colored energy ball appeared in the sky. the next moment, the five-colored energy ball suddenly exploded, bursting out an even more terrifying storm. lin fan had been staring at the five-colored energy ball the entire time. the moment the explosion appeared, the five types of energy finally fused together. it was a perfect fusion! lin fan¡¯s eyes lit up and he said excitedly, ¡°i see!¡± then, he shot out the five-element energy again and instantly completed the compression and fusion! lin fan looked at the energy ball in his hand and said happily, ¡°it¡¯s a success!¡± then, he mobilized all the five elements in his body and quickly fused them together. his strength increased greatly! at this moment, lin fan had a very real feeling that his current strength was more than twice as strong as before the five elements fused into one! he took a step forward. in the next moment, lin fan appeared in front of the door. at this moment, there were more cracks on the door than when he first saw it. there were even faint signs of chaotic squalls about to shoot in through the cracks. lin fan could feel the pressure coming from the door. then, he used his hand to caress the door gently. at this moment, another loud sound came from the door, and more cracks appeared. lin fan judged in his heart. the current him¡­ was probably still inferior to the experts behind the door. in addition, even if he could really defeat the experts behind the door, how could he resist the chaotic astral winds invading the world when the door shattered? frowning slightly, he turned around and returned to jiangbei. ¡­ just as lin fan was leaving, a gigantic monster that was the size of the moon was floating in the primordial chaos outside the door. ¡°what good luck!¡± it grinned. ¡°i actually found a perfect world! ¡°soon! as long as i work harder, i¡¯ll be able to break this seal. at that time, this world will be mine! ¡°it must taste good! my strength will increase greatly very soon! ¡°maybe i can enter the second rank!¡± after a burst of maniacal laughter, it gathered its strength and once again slammed its steel-like head against the door. a loud sound rippled, and energy scattered. ¡­ even though lin fan knew that the entire world was in an extremely dangerous state, he still chose to live, eat, and relax with his family. this was because cultivation was not something that could be accomplished overnight. not to mention, lin fan did not have any better methods to raise his strength right now, nor did he have any way to resolve the cracks in the wall of the world and the door. today, lin xiaoyao, hu tian, song jiaxin, huang ling, and lin fan¡¯s family and loved ones had set up a grill on the wide lawn. a cloud of smoke rose, and in a short while, fragrant skewers were out of the grill. ¡°yes! they smell so good!¡± ¡°as expected, kebabs are still the best!¡± ¡°add more chillies. hehe, it¡¯s delicious!¡± ¡°ah, it¡¯s burnt.¡± ¡­ even though there were many delicacies in the world today, they still couldn¡¯t forget about kebabs. everyone ate the kebabs and chatted casually. they were very satisfied and happy. in the blink of an eye, two weeks had passed. on this day, the wind howled and dark clouds covered the sky. huang ling, qiu ziqian, su ningjing, and the others hurriedly ran into the villa. at this moment, a rock flew over and smashed into the glass. a hole immediately appeared in the glass, and the surrounding area cracked continuously. ¡°damn, the glass is broken!¡± hu tian said. ¡°it¡¯s going to rain soon. there¡¯s no time to change the glass now. we have to quickly block it with something and get someone to change the glass tomorrow.¡± ¡°alright!¡± lin xiaoyao replied. then, the two of them quickly got busy. lin fan, who was sitting in the living room, did not move. hu tian¡¯s words kept echoing in his mind. there was no time left. they had to change the glass¡­ the next moment, lin fan stood up abruptly and hugged hu tian. he gave her a big kiss and said excitedly, ¡°hu tian, you¡¯re amazing!¡± lin xiaoyao blushed and said, ¡°brother, i¡¯m still beside you!¡± lin fan acted as if he did not hear her and laughed heartily. ¡°hahaha! i know what to do now!¡± yes! he knew how to stop the destruction of the world! since the destruction of the door would destroy the world, it would be fine as long as the door remained intact or returned to its original state! time! as long as the door was still intact, the world would not be affected at all! right now, his time control technique was only at the beginner level, and he could stop time. according to lin fan¡¯s guess, as long as he reached the advanced level, he would be able to turn back time! at that time, all the dangers would be resolved! Chapter 679 - 679 The Door; Broken! 679 the door; broken! even though lin fan already knew how to stop the destruction of the world, he could not think of a way to improve his time control technique. after all, time was very mysterious and complicated. in his previous life, when lin fan was still a chaos dragon god, he had only managed to comprehend a tiny bit of the time control technique. however, after so many years, there was no improvement. to improve quickly was easier said than done. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, two months had passed. sometimes, the more urgent the matter, the more difficult it was to handle. it was like that for lin fan. in these two months, lin fan had practically spent all of his time in seclusion. however, there was not much of an effect. on this day¡­ when lin xiaoyao walked over, lin fan opened his eyes. ¡°brother, do you want to have dinner together today?¡± lin xiaoyao asked. lin fan nodded. ¡°alright.¡± in the past two months, he rarely had time to accompany his family. since he was unable to grasp a deeper level of time control, it was good to spend more time with his family. ¡°really?¡± lin xiaoyao said happily. ¡°i¡¯ll tell my sisters-in-law now!¡± hence, the entire coiling dragon villa quickly became lively. smoke rose, and the fragrance filled the air. not long after, the table was filled with all kinds of dishes. they looked, smelled, and tasted delicious. one could not help but swallow when one smelled the food. ¡°lin fan, come, have some beef.¡± ¡°this is the pork ribs i cooked!¡± ¡°i steamed the fish.¡± ¡°this is the lobster i prepared.¡± ¡­ lin fan¡¯s plate was soon filled with all sorts of dishes. he could not help but laugh. ¡°if you guys give me more food, my plate won¡¯t be able to hold it all.¡± when everyone heard this, they stopped. at this moment, lin xiaoyao suddenly shouted excitedly, ¡°wow! it¡¯s snowing!¡± everyone looked out of the tall french windows. snowflakes that looked like goose feathers slowly drifted down from the sky. ¡°so beautiful!¡± hu tian praised. ¡°it¡¯s been a long time since i¡¯ve seen such heavy snow,¡± han tian said. it was very heartwarming to watch the snow while eating. lin fan was also looking at the snow. he looked at the snow quietly and seemed to have caught something. however, there seemed to be something missing. he could not figure it out at the moment. it was new year¡¯s eve. lin fan¡¯s family maintained the customs from a thousand years ago. they had new year¡¯s eve dinner, set off firecrackers, and fireworks¡­ it was noisy, gorgeous, and filled with laughter. ¡°so beautiful!¡± su ning said quietly. ¡°as expected, we still have to set off fireworks during the new year!¡± song jiaxin said. ¡°this is good, this is good!¡± huang ling said. ¡°light up the sky lanterns!¡± lin xiaoyao said. as she spoke, she lit up a lantern. then, the lantern began to rise. ¡°it¡¯s flying!¡± lin xiaoyao shouted excitedly. ¡°it flew! i have to make a wish.¡± as she spoke, she put her palms together and silently said something. with lin fan¡¯s strength, not to mention letting a small lantern fly up into the sky, even a castle would not be a problem. however, at this moment, he also raised his head and looked at the lantern silently. he was very focused and curious. a cold wind blew. then, a large amount of snowflakes fell. ¡°it¡¯s snowing!¡± lin xiaoyao shouted excitedly. ¡°it¡¯s snowing again!¡± as she spoke, she spun around in circles. she was very happy. lin fan¡¯s eyes lit up. in the next moment, all the snow in the sky seemed to be attracted by something as they flew toward lin fan and revolved around him. it was extremely mysterious. seeing this¡­ lin xiaoyao, xia xue, xia bing, hu tian, han tian, and the others did not disturb them. that was because they knew that lin fan had been cultivating hard recently. now, perhaps he had discovered something. they consciously retreated to a very far position and looked at the huge snowball that was hundreds of thousands of meters tall from afar. the sun rose, and the moon set. this huge snowball had been standing in the coiling dragon villa all this time. it did not change at all with the change of the weather. in the blink of an eye, it was the 15th day of the first lunar month. lin xiaoyao, who was wearing a down jacket, said worriedly, ¡°is my brother alright?¡± xia xue and xia bing said in unison, ¡°he¡¯s fine.¡± hu tian, song jiaxin, huang ling, qiu ziqian, and the others did not speak. however, from the determination in their beautiful eyes, they clearly agreed with xia xue and xia bing. at this moment, the huge snowball suddenly shrunk. meanwhile, snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky. furthermore, the snowflakes were becoming larger and larger as the snowball got smaller. when the snowball grew bigger again, the snowflakes in the sky suddenly disappeared. this magical scene shocked everyone present with their mouths wide open. the huge snowball disappeared completely, and the snowflakes in the sky suddenly became denser. in the next moment, a tall and handsome figure appeared in front of everyone. it was lin fan. ¡°brother!¡± lin xiaoyao shouted. xia xue and xia bing said in unison, ¡°lin fan!¡± ¡°lin fan, are you alright?¡± ¡°lin fan, how are you?¡± ¡­ everyone started asking him questions, their faces full of worry. lin fan smiled. ¡°don¡¯t worry, i¡¯m fine.¡± at this moment, a loud sound came from the void, and the entire world began to tremble violently. the sea churned, the ground shook violently, and the rocks collapsed! it was like the end of the world. then, cracks appeared in the sky, as if the sky was about to shatter. it was extremely terrifying. many people raised their heads, their eyes filled with fear as they discussed. ¡°what¡¯s going on in the sky?¡± ¡°it can¡¯t be that it¡¯s about to break, right?¡± ¡°this is too scary!¡± ¡­ lin fan, who had always been calm, raised his brows. ¡°you guys rest at home. i¡¯ll be right back!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and disappeared from where he was. hearing this, everyone began to pray silently. they knew that lin fan was going to do something big,. it was something that could save the world! ¡­ red, green, blue, gray, purple, and black shadows all stood in front of the ancient door. at this moment, the cracks on the door had already become as dense as a spider web. they could even see the outside world through these cracks with their naked eye. when lin fan arrived, the gray shadow said, ¡°the door is about to break! do you have a solution?¡± lin fan did not reply immediately. instead, he stared at the door with a burning gaze. the first time he saw the door, lin fan could feel the pressure from it. he felt like an ant. the second time he saw the door, lin fan finally had the ability to look straight at it. now, this was the third time lin fan was seeing the door. he felt that there was still a gap between him and the creator of the door. however, the gap was small! ¡°it¡¯s broken!¡± lin fan said. as if to verify lin fan¡¯s words, the ancient door shattered. the terrifying shards turned into a rain of arrows that filled the sky and flew wildly. it was extremely terrifying. Chapter 680 - 680 Repair; Crisis Eliminated! 680 repair; crisis eliminated! at the same time, the fierce chaotic winds whistled continuously like a blade. the door fragments and chaotic winds shot out at the same time. they were swift and awe-inspiring, making people feel despair. at this moment, lin fan¡¯s entire body burst out with a dazzling golden light, forming a golden wall that blocked everything outside. the sound waves rippled, and energy surged. the momentum was incomparably terrifying. ¡°it¡¯s finally broken!¡± an earth-shaking voice swept over with terrifying sound waves. then, a huge monster that ordinary people could not see clearly appeared in front of them. its head was like a tiger, its body was like a cheetah, and its two forked tails were like two twisting pythons. ¡°keke, life! so much life force! i¡¯m really lucky this time! ¡°huh, how many humans are here? is this an original planet life form? then i¡¯ll take you guys as an appetizer!¡± as soon as it finished speaking, it opened its mouth and produced a powerful suction force. it was as if it wanted to swallow lin fan, as well as the red, green, blue, gray, purple, and black shadows, into its stomach. the red, green, blue, gray, purple, and black shadows had lost most of their power and were unable to resist the suction force. naturally, lin fan was not afraid. he snorted lightly, and the red, green, blue, gray, purple, and black shadows immediately stabilized their bodies. lin fan said indifferently, ¡°appetizers? i¡¯m afraid that i¡¯ll burst your stomach!¡± he raised his hand, and the star meteorite sword appeared. ¡°sword one, draw the sword and slash the sky!¡± pulling out his sword, a sharp sword light shot out. it was swift and fierce! the sword ray collided with the monster, producing a terrifying explosion. sword energy flew everywhere, and it was chaos. when the sword light dissipated, a finger-sized wound appeared on the monster¡¯s stomach. one sword attack had injured the monster! the monster seemed to have been insulted and shouted crazily. ¡°damn it, damn it, damn it! ¡°a mere primitive resident actually dares to injure me!¡± as soon as the words were uttered, the surroundings seemed to have lost all life force. there was no color, and everything turned gray. lin fan¡¯s expression did not change at all. he quickly shook his wrist. ¡°ten swords!¡± ¡°twenty swords!¡± ¡°thirty swords!¡± ¡­ one after another, sharp sword lights attacked the monster like lightning. loud booms continued, and the world shook. gradually, countless sword marks appeared on the monster¡¯s body. to the naked eye, it looked extremely miserable, as if it had been tortured. the monster roared at the sky, and the sound waves surged. he was actually injured by a small native. this was a great humiliation! ¡°destroy! destroy them all!¡± the monster shouted. as soon as he finished speaking, the monster¡¯s mouth suddenly grew bigger and bigger. it shook the sky and covered the sun. it was pitch-black like a huge black hole that wanted to swallow lin fan and the earth into its mouth. a powerful suction force came rushing over. lin fan¡¯s brows twitched as the power of the five elements revolved within his body, causing his entire body to turn five-colored and extremely dazzling. at the same time, the pause button seemed to have been pressed as the entire world completely stopped moving. only lin fan slowly raised his sword and said, ¡°sixty-six swords!¡± as the sword fell, a five-colored pillar of light that seemed to split the sky and earth shot out. it completely illuminated the entire world. then, it suddenly slashed down from the monster¡¯s head. the huge monster and the entire chaotic space were split into two, like a piece of paper that had been torn in the middle. in the next moment, a strong gust of wind blew toward lin fan¡¯s face, causing his clothes and the tall red, green, blue, gray, purple, and black shadows to sway. the monster that was cut in half instantly lost its vitality. then, the monster¡¯s corpse turned into two towering mountains and fell straight into the tunnel. it died just like that! the red, green, blue, gray, purple, and black shadows could not help but stare blankly at this scene. such a powerful existence had died so easily? they still could not accept it. however, the mountain-like halves of the corpse, as well as the surging energy that was constantly being absorbed by the earth, seemed to be telling them that this was the truth. at this moment, a powerful wind whistled over and directly cut off some of the red shadow¡¯s body. it could not help but say anxiously, ¡°lin fan, the door is broken now. the chaotic winds are coming straight at us. i¡¯m afraid that earth won¡¯t be able to hold on for much longer. what should we do now?¡± lin fan did not reply immediately. instead, he stared at the broken door with his sharp eyes. after a while, he said, ¡°then let the door recover!¡± lin fan raised his hand and gave off an extremely mysterious aura. it was the power of time! then, a very magical scene appeared. the door that had shattered into pieces flew back. in the end, it turned into an intact door without a single crack. the red, green, blue, gray, purple, and black shadows were stunned by this scene. their mouths were wide open, and their faces were filled with disbelief. the red shadow stammered, ¡°this¡­ this¡­ is the door fixed?¡± lin fan nodded. ¡°the crisis is over!¡± then, he looked at the huge monster on the ground and said, ¡°after earth absorbs the energy of the monster, it should enter a higher level. you guys can also recover faster.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and disappeared. only the red, green, blue, gray, purple, and black shadows were left. they looked at each other in awe. ¡­ on the other hand, in the endless starry sky. an old man with flowery hair suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out dazzling rays of light like two rotating suns. ¡°let me see who broke the door i left behind,¡± the old man said in a low voice. as soon as he finished speaking, he slowly turned around and looked into the endless void. it was deep and bright. even though he was far away from the starry sky, it could not block his vision at all. ¡°a low-level chaos beast? ¡°huh?¡± soon, the old man let out a surprised voice. ¡°the door has been restored? ¡°using the power of time? ¡°interesting,¡± the old man said with a smile. ¡°i didn¡¯t expect that there would be someone who could control the power of time on that small planet. that person should be trained.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he prepared to take a step forward. at this moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded in the distance. ¡°tao qian, so you¡¯re here. let¡¯s see where you can run to this time!¡± a sharp saber light shot over. the old man raised his eyebrows and quickly disappeared. Chapter 681 - 681 Chasing; Spatial Turbulence! 681 chasing; spatial turbulence! in the endless primordial chaos, two streaks of light, one white and one gold, pierced through the void and flew forward. meteorites, planets, buildings¡­ nothing could stop them. at this moment, the golden stream of light suddenly accelerated and stopped in front of the white stream of light. it gradually condensed into a muscular middle-aged man holding a large saber. ¡°tao qian, you can¡¯t escape!¡± upon hearing this, the white stream of light stopped and slowly condensed into a white-haired old man. ¡°hey, didn¡¯t i just take a few billion crystals from you and kill two of your guardians and two of your sons? is there a need to chase after me like this?¡± spirit crystals were extremely pure energy crystals in the chaosverse. generally speaking, a world could only produce one crystal in a year. however, tao qian had taken billions of spirit crystals! the middle-aged man had a total of six guardians and five sons. tao qian had killed two guardians and two sons, so he had killed almost half of them! in the end, tao qian said it so casually and indifferently. the middle-aged man clenched the hilt of his saber tightly. the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano. ¡°die!¡± he drew his saber and swung it, shooting out boundless saber light. tao qian¡¯s figure flashed and easily moved to the side. not far away, an orange planet suffered an unexpected disaster and exploded like fireworks. ¡°hey, you¡¯re quite cool!¡± tao qian said. a single slash had shattered a planet! his strength¡­ was so tyrannical! some of the people hidden in the primal chaos knew that they could not provoke the other party at all, so they quickly retreated like birds frightened by the twang of a bow. ¡­ after an unknown amount of time, tao qian, with a head full of flowery hair, appeared in the void. ¡°i finally got rid of him. ¡°now, it¡¯s time to see that little fellow who has mastered the power of time.¡± tao qian muttered to himself as he closed his eyes to search for the location of earth. after a while, he frowned. ¡°the space is in chaos? what¡¯s going on?¡± ¡­ on the other hand, lin fan had already returned to earth. even though lin fan had used the power of time to repair the door¡­ earth was still attacked by some chaotic squalls. earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes¡­ a series of disasters caused many roads and houses to collapse and crack to varying degrees. when lin fan returned to the coiling dragon villa, xia xue, xia bing, hu tian, huang ling, qiu ziqian, and the others quickly surrounded him. ¡°lin fan, are you alright?¡± they asked worriedly. lin fan smiled. ¡°don¡¯t worry, i¡¯m fine.¡± hearing lin fan¡¯s relaxed tone, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. then, lin fan explained the general situation. when they heard about the monster, everyone¡¯s hearts jumped to their throats. when they heard that lin fan had killed the huge monster, their faces were filled with smiles and pride. this was lin fan, their lover! he could even kill terrifying monsters! after that, the few of them ate and chatted together, laughing and laughing from time to time. they were very relaxed and happy. however, this life did not last long before the entire world suddenly shook violently again. the ground cracked and the rocks collapsed¡­ it was extremely terrifying. lin fan raised his brows. ¡°i¡¯ll go take a look.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from where he was. in the next moment, he appeared in front of the ancient door. lin fan¡¯s eyes were like lightning as he stared at the door. instantly, the thick door turned transparent in his eyes. the scene outside the door fell into his eyes. at this moment, two huge monsters had appeared outside the door. their eyes were like the sun as they stared at the door. their eyes were filled with greed. ¡°what dense life force!¡± ¡°this is definitely a world with countless lives. keke, my luck is not bad!¡± ¡°it must taste wonderful!¡± ¡­ as the two monsters spoke, they could not help but swallow their saliva. while they were talking, another monster flew over. ¡°what a wonderful smell!¡± ¡°however, it seems to have an extraordinary defensive power. let¡¯s attack together and then devour it in pieces. what do you think?¡± the other two monsters had already felt the powerful defense of the door. they understood that it would be very difficult for them to break the door by themselves. ¡°alright!¡± ¡°agreed!¡± then, the three monsters either shot out energy beams, waved their claws, or rammed into the door. immediately, the entire earth shook violently again. ¡­ when lin fan saw this, his face turned serious. that was because he could vaguely see other monsters rushing over from the depths of the endless chaos. if this continued¡­ even this ancient door would find it difficult to resist. just as lin fan was thinking of a plan, another three monsters arrived at the door. at this moment, a hearty voice sounded in the endless void. ¡°hahaha! so many chaos beasts!¡± a sharp arrow shot out, sweeping up a terrifying spatial storm. it crushed all the monsters into pieces, leaving only a few light beads shining in the chaos. at the same time, a huge spatial turbulence formed in the void, instantly engulfing the gateway and the entire earth. a moment later, a tall man wearing golden armor and holding a bow appeared. with a wave of his hand, all the light beads in the air entered his hand. ¡°my luck is pretty good. i killed so many chaos beasts at once! ¡°there¡¯s a good chance of winning this time!¡± he sniffed and said, ¡°there seemed to be a very pure life force here just now. is it a world? forget it, it¡¯s useless. the competition is more important!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and flew forward. ¡­ on the other hand, the door in the chaotic space was constantly being attacked. gradually, cracks appeared on the surface of the door. the spatial turbulence was truly too terrifying. at the same time, the entire earth shook continuously. mountains collapsed, the ground caved in, tsunamis came flooding¡­ countless disasters followed. screams and wails could be heard without end. ¡­ lin fan looked at the door. the cracks on it were getting denser and denser, as though the door was about to shatter at any moment. his face turned solemn. not long ago, lin fan had used the power of time once. he had yet to fully recover. he no longer had enough power to reverse time. however, he still used everything he had to mobilize his strength. he was prepared to forcefully reverse time again. at this moment, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the chaotic space. the ancient door and the entire earth flew out through the crack. at this point¡­ the spatial turbulence finally disappeared, and earth finally regained its peace. Chapter 682 - 682 Leaving; Four Seasons Cosmos! 682 leaving; four seasons cosmos! at the same time, the cracks on the surface of the ancient door that had been washed by the spatial turbulence continued to spread. in the end, the door turned into countless fragments and scattered casually. after the door shattered previously, endless chaotic winds flowed through the shattered area and poured into earth, wantonly destroying it. but now, it was very peaceful. lin fan walked out of the broken area and sensed the calm outside world. he muttered in his heart, ¡®there seems to be no primal chaos astral winds here.¡¯ he looked around carefully before returning to earth. at this moment, the tall buildings and the winding viaduct that were originally visible¡­ disappeared. what replaced it were dense rocks and endless ruins. wails, sighs, cries¡­ they were endless. seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s expression turned solemn. soon, he returned to the coiling dragon villa in jiangbei. ¡°lin fan!¡± hu tian, xia xue, xia bing, huang ling, and the others shouted happily when they saw that he was fine. lin fan said, ¡°i¡¯m fine.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he could not help but frown slightly. this time, he was fine. what about the next time? after experiencing everything that had happened in this period of time, lin fan realized that the dangers of this world were much greater than he had imagined. he could deal with a monster. but what about three of them? or six? what if he met the archer? although he did not want to admit it, lin fan had to acknowledge that with his current strength, it would be difficult for him to deal with the dangers that might appear in the future. at that time, how would he protect his family and loved ones? how could this rare happiness continue to exist? in his previous life, lin fan was a chaos dragon god. he ate, drank, and slept every day. he had never thought of increasing his strength. in this life, lin fan was a student and a professor. every day, he would receive red packets, and his life was very comfortable. at this moment, an urgent thought of improving his strength surged into his mind like a tide. for the next few days, lin fan spent all his time with his lovers and family. coiling dragon villa was filled with happiness. one day, after breakfast, lin fan said, ¡°i¡¯m preparing to go out and take a look.¡± silence! the entire coiling dragon villa immediately fell silent. even though lin fan did not say where he was going, everyone seemed to have guessed the place. outside earth, in the chaos! ¡°when are you planning to go out?¡± hu tian asked after a while. lin fan said, ¡°later.¡± he knew that the longer it dragged on, the harder it would be for him to leave. in addition, he did not know¡­ when earth would face another crisis. the earlier he went out, the earlier he could obtain more power and better protect earth. the women opened their mouths as if they wanted to say something, but no words came out. hu tian pursed her red lips and said, ¡°then be careful.¡± lin fan nodded. ¡°i will be careful.¡± then, he looked at everyone and said, ¡°everyone¡­goodbye.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and instantly disappeared from where he was. seeing this¡­ the women could not hold it in any longer and shouted. ¡°lin fan, you must be careful!¡± ¡°lin fan, come back early!¡± ¡°we¡¯ll wait for you at home!¡± ¡­ at this moment, lin fan followed the broken door and arrived in the void outside of earth. after creating a series of camouflage spells at the broken spot, he found a direction and kept moving forward through space jumps. with each leap, lin fan could travel tens of thousands of kilometers. after a thousand jumps, the void in the distance suddenly fluctuated. then, a two-meter-tall man gradually appeared. the man¡¯s aura was very unstable. when he saw lin fan, he was very alert. when lin fan caught sight of him, his eyes lit up, and he charged toward him. the man¡¯s heart tightened. he wanted to dodge, but his body found it difficult to support himself. ¡°what business do you have?¡± he asked from afar. when lin fan heard that, his eyes lit up. that was because the other party was speaking hua language! thus, lin fan said, ¡°you seem to be injured. i happen to know some healing methods.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he did not wait for the other party to reply and directly shot out a ray of light of life. the middle-aged man¡¯s aura quickly stabilized. at the same time, his expression softened. the middle-aged man cupped his fists and said, ¡°thank you for your help. i am tian yang. may i know who you are?¡± ¡°i am lin fan,¡± lin fan said. ¡°so, your name is lin fan¡­¡± tian yang nodded. his tone was calm. however, there was still a hint of vigilance on his face. lin fan was not too bothered by this. it was not easy for him to encounter a human, so he had to seize the opportunity to ask. lin fan said, ¡°tian yang, may i know which region this is?¡± ¡°lin fan, have you never been here before?¡± tian yang asked. ¡°this is the spring domain of the four seasons cosmos. ¡°to be honest, my planet is completely sealed off. this is the first time i¡¯ve come out of a planet,¡± lin fan said. ¡°so that¡¯s how it is!¡± tian yang said in realization. ¡°then, lin fan, you must take a good look around the four seasons cosmos. this place is much bigger and livelier than a planet!¡± lin fan nodded. ¡°i think so too.¡± tian yang looked at lin fan and said, ¡°i think that you¡¯re still very young. have you considered going to the heavenly wind world?¡± ¡°heavenly wind world?¡± lin fan asked curiously. tian yang saw that he was not pretending at all. thus, he continued, ¡°the heavenly wind world is a very strange place. it opens once every 10,000 years. there are many opportunities inside. only people below 10,000 years old can enter. of course, it¡¯s also very dangerous.¡± lin fan said, ¡°thank you for your guidance, tian yang.¡± the two of them chatted for a while more, then tian yang said that he had something to do and had to leave. lin fan did not force him to stay. after all, they did not have much of a relationship. staying would only make him more wary. as for lin fan, he followed the direction pointed out by tian yang and continued forward. after lin fan jumped through space a few hundred times, a faint green planet appeared not too far away. lin fan leaped up and flew over. this was a planet densely covered with green plants. high-rise buildings, bent roads, and aircraft could be seen everywhere. obviously, this was a planet with a high level of civilization. lin fan had just appeared when a man in black flew to the side. he bowed and respectfully said, ¡°greetings, your excellency.¡± ¡°oh?¡± lin fan asked curiously. ¡°you knew i was here?¡± ¡°we have a heavenly protection system on our planet,¡± the man said. ¡°it can detect experts who have entered the planet¡­ ¡°after the star lord knew that you were here, he first asked me to receive you. then, he asked me to ask if we should arrange a grand welcoming ceremony?¡± after he finished speaking, he lowered his head even more. he was very cautious and careful. Chapter 683 - 683 Introduction; Banquet! 683 introduction; banquet! the man was very clear about the rules of the world. the strong were respected! according to the heavenly protection system, lin fan was a supreme expert who could cross the chaosverse. he had to treat him respectfully. otherwise, if he made the other party unhappy, lin fan could just casually blow on him and he would probably turn into ashes. he would even punish his relatives and friends to appease the other party¡¯s anger. lin fan nodded. ¡°what¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°jack,¡± the man said respectfully. ¡°jack, why don¡¯t you introduce your star lord to me?¡± lin fan asked. ¡°yes,¡± jack replied. it turned out that the star lord of this planet was called qing song, a star traveller level warrior. he was also the only star traveller level warrior on the planet. being able to walk through the chaosverse with a physical body was one of the signs of a star traveller. lin fan was at least at this level. planet qing was located in the eastern part of the spring region. it was a planet that focused on technology. then, jack drove the flying vehicle and brought lin fan around. the architectural style of planet qing was similar to that of earth. lin fan did not have any thoughts of admiring it. not far away, a dozen flying vehicles stopped in front of a towering building like birds. at this moment, a silver-white aircraft arrived in front of jack. then, a woman in a white dress walked down and said with a smile, ¡°uncle jack, i didn¡¯t expect you to come over to celebrate my birthday.¡± jack looked at lin fan carefully and said, ¡°sir, this is my niece. she doesn¡¯t know that i¡¯m receiving you. i¡¯ll let her leave now.¡± lin fan waved his hand. ¡°no worries. there aren¡¯t many birthdays in life. it¡¯s better not to miss them. let¡¯s go and take a look together.¡± ¡°ah¡­ this¡­¡± jack was stunned. he wanted to refuse. however, he was worried that rejecting him would make lin fan unhappy. therefore, he could only bite the bullet and say, ¡°yes.¡± then, he slowly opened the door of the aircraft and said, ¡°today is your birthday. of course, i have to come.¡± ¡°uncle is the best!¡± the woman said happily. at this moment, she noticed lin fan in the flying vehicle and could not help but size him up curiously. ¡°uncle, is this young man your subordinate?¡± as soon as he said this, a thin layer of sweat immediately appeared on jack¡¯s forehead, and his legs were trembling. subordinate? this was simply disrespectful! this would probably make the lord angry. it was over! jack was about to scold the woman. lin fan said, ¡°i¡¯m jack¡¯s friend.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he cast a reassuring look at jack. when jack saw this, he heaved a sigh of relief. at the same time, he knew that he could ont expose lin fan¡¯s identity. the woman sized lin fan up and said, ¡°friends? but he¡¯s so young.¡± then, she smiled and said, ¡°hello, my name is jerry.¡± ¡°lin fan,¡± lin fan said. the three of them talked as they walked toward the tall building. of course, it was mainly jerry who spoke. jack looked very uncomfortable. as for lin fan, he was not familiar with this place and just listened quietly. after a while, the three of them arrived at the tall building. this was a place similar to a hotel on earth. it was towering and majestic. the banquet hall on the third floor was filled with many beautiful flowers. many guests were chatting, drinking, and eating inside. when they saw jerry, they all greeted her. ¡°isn¡¯t this our birthday girl today?¡± ¡°jerry, you¡¯re so beautiful today!¡± ¡°she¡¯s like a princess!¡± ¡­ hearing everyone¡¯s praise, jerry was also very happy. her pretty face was like a flower, extremely radiant. ¡°thank you, everyone! thank you for coming to my birthday party.¡± at this moment, a tall woman walked over and said, ¡°jerry, happy birthday.¡± as soon as she finished speaking, she handed over the beautifully wrapped gift box in her hand. ¡°thank you, minmin!¡± jerry said. then, she opened the gift box. inside was a soft dress. ¡°wow!¡± jerry said. ¡°what a beautiful dress. minmin, thank you!¡± the others also handed out their gifts. ¡°happy birthday, jerry.¡± ¡°happy birthday.¡± there were communicators, game consoles, toys¡­ the smile on jerry¡¯s pretty face grew wider. at this moment, a middle-sized young man walked over and said seriously, ¡°jerry, happy birthday.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he handed over a very luxurious gift box. jerry hesitated for a moment but still accepted the gift and opened it. suddenly, a dazzling gem appeared in front of her. the crowd immediately burst into gasps of praise. ¡°what a beautiful gem!¡± ¡°bora star stone! what a huge bora star stone!¡± ¡°this is at least a million universe dollars!¡± ¡­ jerry¡¯s eyes were lit up by the gemstone. however, she quickly handed the gem over and said, ¡°this¡­ this is too expensive. i can¡¯t take it.¡± ¡°there¡¯s no such thing as an expensive birthday present,¡± the young man said. ¡°the important thing is that you like it.¡± jerry turned around hesitantly and looked at jack. after all, jack was her elder and had a lot of knowledge. his opinion was very important. however, in the eyes of the young man, it was a completely different situation. he liked jerry. he had been observing jerry from afar and realized that she had walked in with lin fan. moreover, they were talking and laughing. the young man had seen all of jerry¡¯s relatives, and he was sure that lin fan was not one of them. thus, from the start, he was filled with hostility toward lin fan. before jerry accepted his gift, she even had to ask lin fan for his opinion. this made the young man even more hostile. he took a deep breath and said, ¡°my name is kevin. hey, you over there¡­ you look a little unfamiliar.¡± lin fan could feel the hostility from the other party. however, he did not pay too much attention to it and said, ¡°i¡¯m lin fan.¡± kevin nodded. ¡°today is jerry¡¯s birthday. i wonder what present you¡¯ve prepared for her?¡± he firmly believed that his gift was definitely the most expensive present. he wanted to make lin fan understand just how big the gap between them was. he wanted to make lin fan retreat! how could jack not understand kevin¡¯s thoughts? his heart trembled. one had to know that lin fan was at least on the same level as the star lord! this kind of expert had always been temperamental. if he was displeased, it would definitely be a huge disaster! at that time, not only kevin, but himself and even everyone present would suffer an incomparably terrifying disaster! jack opened his mouth, wanting to stop him. however, he did not dare to speak carelessly. lin fan willed it and took out a crystal clear spirit stone from his internal space. this was the product of the spirit stone mine after the forbidden land merged with earth a thousand years ago. it was considered a rare treasure for ordinary people. ¡°jerry, happy birthday.¡± Chapter 684 - 684 The Arrival of the Star Lord! 684 the arrival of the star lord! the spirit stone was crystal clear and emitted pure energy. instantly, the entire hall seemed to be filled with warmth. seeing this¡­ everyone present turned their gazes over in unison, and a hint of horror appeared on their faces. after a while, someone exclaimed, ¡°a spirit stone!¡± ¡°moreover, it¡¯s at least a medium-grade spirit stone!¡± ¡°heavens! such pure energy.¡± ¡°my blood is boiling.¡± ¡­ ¡°this¡­ it¡¯s too expensive. i can¡¯t take it.¡± it was so precious! it was extremely valuable. that was because one elementary-grade spirit stone was worth one million universe dollars. the value of a medium-grade spirit stone was ten million universe dollars. as for high-grade spirit stones, they were worth as much as 100 million universe dollars! moreover, all the spirit stones were priceless! this was because no one would sell spirit stones for money. after all¡­ spirit stones were mysterious treasures that could change one¡¯s body. lin fan could tell from everyone¡¯s expressions that spirit stones were much more valuable than he had imagined in this world. however, he did not care too much about it and said, ¡°it¡¯s just a spirit stone. it¡¯s nothing.¡± ¡°this¡­¡± jerry really wanted it. however, she was a little hesitant. jerry slowly looked at jack beside her. jack also came back to his senses and said, ¡°jerry, since mr. lin¡­ is giving it as a gift for you, just accept it.¡± when jerry heard this, she said, ¡°okay¡­ alright¡­¡± she took the spirit stone and felt the pure energy that pervaded it. she could not help but gently stroke it with her hand, her entire beautiful face filled with excitement. when kevin saw this, his animosity toward lin fan intensified. kevin thought that lin fan had specially prepared an expensive gift to deepen jerry¡¯s impression of him. kevin rolled his eyes and said, ¡°lin fan, your spirit stone doesn¡¯t seem to have a serial number. where did you get it?¡± as soon as he said that, the scene fell silent. in the qing planet, spring region, and even the entire four seasons universe, spirit stones were strictly controlled and had specific numbers. kevin was obviously saying that lin fan¡¯s spirit stone came from a shady source. if this was investigated, it would definitely be very troublesome. how could jack not understand what kevin meant? he was so angry that he trembled. doubting lin fan¡¯s spirit stone? spirit stones were strictly controlled, but only for ordinary people. lin fan was obviously not ordinary! he was at least a super expert on the same level as the star lord. kevin was actually questioning lin fan and making things difficult for him! he simply did not know what death was! ¡°shut your mouth, kevin!¡± jack shouted sternly. then, he felt that his voice was too loud. he might have offended lin fan. a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. he said in fear, ¡°mr. lin, i¡¯m sorry¡­¡± lin fan waved his hand. ¡°no worries.¡± at this moment, cheerful music sounded in the hall. then, a huge cake was slowly pushed in. jerry¡¯s beautiful eyes lit up. it was unknown if it was because lin fan had given her a spirit stone, or because lin fan was jack¡¯s friend, or because lin fan was too tall and handsome. ¡°mr. lin, can you cut the cake for me?¡± jerry asked softly. ¡°there should be more than 80 guests here. it¡¯s best if everyone can get a share.¡± lin fan glanced at the crowd and easily knew the exact number of people. there were 85 people. ¡°sure.¡± he nodded. lin fan waved his hand casually. the huge cake was instantly divided into 85 portions. then, all the cakes suddenly appeared in everyone¡¯s hands. this scene left everyone dumbstruck. a cultivator! moreover, he was definitely a cultivator with decent strength! no wonder he had spirit stones! many people started to guess lin fan¡¯s identity. at this moment, a hearty voice sounded in the hall. ¡°your control over space is truly admirable!¡± then, a two-meter-tall middle-aged man with a full beard appeared in the middle of the hall. at the same time, the aura of a superior spread out. when everyone saw him, their pupils constricted and their hearts beat wildly. ¡°greetings, star lord!¡±¡± he was star lord qing song. at this moment, only lin fan and qing song were standing in the hall. they looked at each other, very relaxed and indifferent. lin fan said, ¡°it¡¯s just a little trick.¡± qing song sighed. ¡°space and time are the most mysterious things. few people can control them so precisely. if this can only be considered a small trick, then what is called a great ability? you¡¯re really too humble.¡± lin fan did not bother to explain further. ¡°are you interested in coming to my place?¡± qing song asked. lin fan nodded. ¡°sure.¡± then, the two of them turned into streams of light and flew away. after they left, the atmosphere at the scene relaxed slightly. everyone heaved a sigh of relief. one had to know¡­ that was the star lord, the noblest and most powerful existence on the entire qing planet. they had only seen him in videos and photos. they never thought that they would have the chance to meet him in person one day. everyone¡¯s faces were filled with excitement and pride, except kevin. that was because the star lord addressed lin fan so respectfully. if that was the case, lin fan¡¯s status and strength would probably be on par with the star lord. yet, kevin had actually despised and made things difficult for the other party time and again. if the other party pursued this matter, what should he do? kevin¡¯s forehead was covered in sweat when he thought of this, and his entire face turned pale. ¡°uncle, who¡¯s mr. lin?¡± jerry asked excitedly. everyone present pricked up their ears. obviously, they were also very concerned about this. ¡°he¡¯s a super expert who crossed the chaosverse.¡± after all, the star lord had already arrived. there was no need to keep lin fan¡¯s identity a secret anymore. as soon as he said this, the scene was in a commotion. he had crossed the chaosverse! everyone knew very well what this meant. he was definitely an existence on the same level as the star lord. no wonder the star lord addressed him in that manner. ¡°oh my god!¡± jerry said excitedly. ¡°he¡¯s such a powerful man, but he¡¯s actually celebrating my birthday with me! i¡¯m so happy!¡± as she spoke, she hugged the spirit stone tightly in her arms as if it was her most precious treasure. beside, kevin¡¯s legs went weak as he fell to the ground. he was thinking, ¡®i¡¯m done for, i¡¯m done for!¡¯ ¡­. Chapter 685 - 685 Abyss; Bug Queen! 685 abyss; bug queen! the qing hall occupied an extremely wide area. there were mountains, rivers, green trees, flowers¡­ the scenery was beautiful and charming. at this moment, lin fan and qing song had arrived at the grand hall. they were drinking spirit tea and chatting non-stop. from the casual chat, lin fan gained a deeper understanding of the four seasons universe and the levels of cultivators. the cultivation levels were¡ªkill ten, annihilate 100, enemy 1,000, transcendent, soul formation, and above that was the planet level. the planet level could be further divided into nine levels. at this moment, qing song said, ¡°although it¡¯s a little presumptuous, i wonder if you can help me?¡± ¡°oh?¡± lin fan was puzzled. qing song said, ¡°a mystic abyss realm has appeared on our qing planet. every once in a while, a group of mutated beasts at the levels of kill ten, annihilate 100, and even enemy 1,000 will come out. although they¡¯re weak, they¡¯re also very troublesome. ¡°therefore, i want to enter the mystic abyss realm and solve this hidden danger in one fell swoop. ¡°however, i don¡¯t know what¡¯s there in the realm. there might be some treasures and some dangers. therefore, i¡¯ve also invited star lord feng yue of the spirit planet and star lord ma zheng of the hong planet to go together. ¡°if there are any treasures, we¡¯ll distribute them according to contribution. in addition, i¡¯ll give you another ten spirit crystals as a reward. ¡°i wonder if you¡¯re interested?¡± lin fan¡¯s expression changed slightly. this was definitely an opportunity for him to gain a deeper understanding of the chaosverse. ¡°sure.¡± he nodded. perhaps there was some danger in the secret realm. however, danger was sometimes an opportunity. this was something he had to face on the road to becoming stronger. ¡°that¡¯s great!¡± qing song said happily. ¡°with you joining us, we¡¯ll have a greater chance of resolving the crisis in the mystic abyss realm.¡± at this moment, two streaks of light shot over from afar. then, an oval-faced woman in a purple muslin dress and a man with a long sword hanging from his waist appeared in the hall. ¡°feng yue, ma zheng, you¡¯re here!¡± qing song laughed heartily. then, he introduced, ¡°this is lin fan.¡± feng yue and ma zheng could not help but size lin fan up curiously. ¡°should we rest for a while or go straight to the mystic abyss realm?¡± qing song asked. ¡°let¡¯s go over directly,¡± ma zheng said. feng yue nodded. lin fan said, ¡°i¡¯ve already rested.¡± ¡°alright! then let¡¯s go over,¡± qing song said. as soon as he finished speaking, he leaped and flew out. lin fan, feng yue, and ma zheng followed closely behind. in the beginning, feng yue and ma zheng underestimated lin fan. however, looking at how relaxed lin fan was as he flew, they quickly threw this thought to the back of their minds. a moment later, they stopped. in front of them was a huge crack that looked like a black hole. it was extremely terrifying. two soldiers ran over and said respectfully, ¡°greetings, star lord!¡± ¡°when did the mutated beasts last come out?¡± qing song asked. ¡°three days ago,¡± the soldier said. ¡°i understand,¡± qing song said. ¡°do you guys see anything?¡± he asked. feng yue shook her head. ¡°we can¡¯t see anything from the outside. we have to go in.¡± ¡°let¡¯s go in,¡± ma zheng said. lin fan nodded as well. ¡°alright,¡± qing song said. the four of them took a step forward and flew into the abyss. after entering the abyss, a cold aura assaulted their faces. at this moment, a huge bird that was dozens of meters long stretched out its sharp claws and whistled toward them, as if it wanted to tear them into pieces. qing song raised his hand and waved, shooting out a sharp gust of wind that instantly cut it in half. following the death of the giant bird, more exotic beasts appeared one after another. however, without any surprises, they were all easily dealt with by qing song. the four of them together were unstoppable. a few hours later, lin fan, qing song, feng yue and ma zheng finally landed at the bottom of the abyss. it was dark here. the ground was very rugged, and there were holes everywhere. lin fan looked around curiously. it was his first time entering the abyss. the ground not far away suddenly shook. in the next moment, a large group of exotic beasts quickly rushed over. the four of them attacked together and dealt with all the mutated beasts easily. the rugged ground was immediately dyed red. the four of them moved forward. along the way, they encountered a few more groups of exotic beasts. ¡°why do these mutated beasts feel a little strange?¡± ma zheng frowned. feng yue said, ¡°it is a little strange. it¡¯s like they¡¯re running away. is there something in front?¡± qing song said, ¡°i have a bad feeling. there might be some danger ahead. you guys have to be careful.¡± the few of them nodded and became even more careful. at this moment, a vast and mysterious energy surged over from afar. the four of them looked up, and their pupils constricted slightly. dense golden bugs were moving in unison, surrounding the ancient altar and making rustling sounds. ¡°chaos locusts!¡± ¡°why are there chaos locusts here?¡± ¡°there are spirit crystals around the altar! this is bad! it¡¯s the altar of the bug queen!¡± ¡°we must not let the bug queen be teleported out. otherwise, qing planet and even the surrounding planets will all become nourishment for the bug queen!¡± ¡°hurry!¡± at this moment, they finally understood why the exotic beast had run out of the abyss. that was because the mutated beasts were also afraid of the chaos locusts, and they were even more afraid of the bug queen! the four of them dashed forward, trying to destroy the altar as fast as they could. their movements quickly attracted the attention of the chaos locusts. four chaos locusts that were dozens of meters tall and covered in golden armor blocked their path. ¡°they¡¯re chaos locust generals!¡± ma zheng said solemnly. ¡°star traveller, everyone, be careful!¡± the four chaos locust generals waved their claws and slashed at lin fan and the rest. they were swift and tyrannical! lin fan and the others took out their weapons to block, creating a series of rapid collisions. then, a few balls of light flashed in the air. energy surged, and a series of loud sounds continuously sounded. these four chaos locusts were all at the star traveller level. they could not be dealt with in a short period of time. the only thing that lin fan could do was to use the mysterious space technique to leave some wounds on the chaos locusts. at this moment, the spirit crystals around the ancient altar suddenly emitted a dazzling light. circles of mysterious formation talismans rippled in all directions. then, a huge door appeared above the altar. seeing this¡­ the chaos locusts around the altar moved up and down as if they were kowtowing. the rustling sounds from their mouths became louder and louder. in the next moment, a crack appeared on the door, and there were faint signs of it opening. qing song cried out in shock, ¡°lin fan, you have a spatial technique, so you¡¯re the fastest. quickly stop the bug queen from descending. i¡¯ll help you with the chaos locust generals!¡± lin fan did not argue and said directly, ¡°aright!¡± Chapter 686 - 686 System Upgrade; Congratulations 686 system upgrade; congratulations lin fan could sense a palpitating aura from the ancient altar. he knew that if he did not stop it, he might be in danger. stepping out, lin fan vanished from where he stood. the bug general in front of him wanted to attack but was stopped by qing song. at this moment, lin fan had already arrived in front of the altar. just as he was about to attack the altar, two more bug generals appeared in front of him. the two generals waved their claws and shot out strong gales toward lin fan. lin fan had no choice but to dodge. the two generals did not give up and continued to chase. they kept colliding in the air, forming light shadows. at this moment, the spirit crystals around the altar shone brighter and brighter, and the circles of spell formations became more complicated and mysterious. the door finally opened a small crack. in an instant, an inky aura rushed out from the gap of the door. the violent wind blew everyone¡¯s clothes. a shadow of a pitch-black claw slowly appeared on the altar. the terrifying baleful aura was like thunder, jumping around the claw phantom. after a while, another shadow of a claw floated above the altar. then, two legs, a body, and a head appeared¡­ finally, a pitch-black hundred-meter-tall giant bug with strange patterns all over its body appeared. the bug queen had descended! the dense baleful aura was so strong that even breathing in it would cause one to feel a stinging pain. a loud cry shook the entire abyss. all chaos locusts, even the generals who were still fighting qing song and the others, prostrated on the ground to express their respect for the bug queen. qing song, ma zheng, and feng yue turned pale. ¡°we¡¯re done for!¡± ¡°the bug queen has descended!¡± ¡°what should we do now?¡± ¡­ at this moment, the hundred-meter-tall bug queen opened her scarlet eyes that were like the cold moon. the entire abyss instantly turned into a blood-red color, making one¡¯s hair stand on end. the space was frozen, making it impossible to even move one¡¯s eyelids. looking at those eyes, lin fan¡¯s heart tightened. unrivaled! lin fan had a very clear feeling in his heart. if the other party made a move, he would instantly turn into dust. he could not let her make the first move! lin fan circulated the power of time with all his might and surrounded the bug queen with it. instantly, the bug queen¡¯s tall body that had just condensed began to become illusory. she could not help but look at lin fan with a pair of cold eyes. ¡°how dare you?!¡± her voice was like thunder, causing people¡¯s heads to buzz. a vast aura turned into thousands of sharp blades that shot toward lin fan. another wave of time power appeared, and the sharp blade that was rushing over disappeared like dust. following that, lin fan increased the power of time once more. the bug queen¡¯s claws disappeared, and so did her limbs and torso¡­ gradually, the huge body disappeared without a trace. only a cold voice was left, echoing in the abyss. ¡°human, i will remember you!¡± finally, the door closed and the talisman disappeared. peace returned. the chaos locusts were all confused. why had their queen disappeared? as for lin fan, he did not give them any chance to react. he needed to take advantage of this situation to save his life! lin fan brandished the star meteorite sword with all his might. sword energy surged out like a cold wind. the three-headed bug general and the endless chaos locusts were all sliced into pieces. feng yue, ma zheng, and qing song also reacted quickly and attacked the generals together. blood flowed, energy surged, and strong winds howled. a moment later, all the chaos locusts were killed. at this moment, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! system upgrade successful!] system upgrade? lin fan was stunned. before he could come back to his senses, a crisp notification sounded in his mind again. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve completed the hidden mission to disrupt the arrival of the bug queen. reward: 100,000 experience points.] [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve reached star traveller level 2.] [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve reached star traveller level 3.] instantly, lin fan¡¯s body felt warm. a majestic energy rippled in his limbs and bones. it really was the system! then, lin fan willed it, and a clear interface appeared in his mind.

[ding! you¡¯ve completed the hidden mission. congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained flame armor and top-notch spatial law talent.] [flame armor: emperor-grade armor with powerful defense and rebound attack power.] [top-notch spatial law talent: a powerful talent that can quickly comprehend spatial law.] looking at the fiery red armor in his mind, lin fan¡¯s eyes lit up. with this armor, safety in this vast universe should be guaranteed. after that, he placed his attention on top-notch spatial law talent. lin fan felt the space around him and wanted to jump into it. it was really amazing. he understood that it would be very easy to cultivate spatial power in the future. when qing song saw that lin fan had accepted the spirit crystals, he heaved out a sigh of relief. then, he turned to feng yue and ma zheng and said, ¡°this is your reward, friends.¡± after saying that, he took out a total of 20 spirit crystals. then, the few of them started chatting in the hall. they first lamented about the abyss mystic realm and the bug queen. then, they talked about some of the things that happened in the spring region. as they spoke, they were paying attention to lin fan¡¯s changes. when they saw that lin fan¡¯s expression did not change at all, they finally calmed down. lin fan¡¯s face was calm, but he was actually listening intently to the conversation between the three of them. from the conversation between the three of them, he learned more about the universe. it turned out that above the star traveller level was the planet level, and above that was the domain lord level and universe level. lin fan could not help but think of his flame armor. it was of the emperor level. what level was the equipment? ¡°the heavenly wind world will open in a while,¡± ma zheng said. ¡°friends, do you have any thoughts of entering it?¡± as he said this, his eyes were fixed on lin fan. this was because the heavenly wind world was only limited to people below 10,000 years old. qing song was already more than 30,000 years old. feng yue was slightly younger, but she was also more than 10,000 years old. obviously, none of them could enter. only ma zheng, who was 9,200 years old, was qualified. he was also considered a genius. he wanted to enter the heavenly wind world to roam around. [ding! mission: enter the heavenly wind world. rewards: one emperor-grade equipment, one emperor-grade cultivation technique, one epiphany of heaven and earth.] lin fan said, ¡°i¡¯ll go with you to the heavenly wind world.¡± ¡°it¡¯s great to be able to go with senior!¡± ma zheng said in surprise and joy. the reason why he suddenly mentioned the heavenly wind world was because he had thought that lin fan might not have lived for so long. that was because lin fan looked way too young. however, after hearing his words, it was inevitable that they would be shocked. he possessed such unimaginable power and was so young. genius! he was definitely a rare genius! when qing song and feng yue heard this, they were also shocked. they did not look down on lin fan just because he was young. on the contrary, they looked at lin fan with even more respect. that was because the younger he was, the more terrifying his future would be. in fact, he might even have an extraordinary background. at this moment, a few crisp notifications rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! qing song¡¯s favorability toward you has increased to two stars.] [ding! feng yue¡¯s favorability toward you has increased to two stars.] [ding! ma zheng¡¯s favorability toward you has increased to three stars.] lin fan and ma zheng stayed on qing planet for a few more days before boarding the interstellar ship and heading toward the direction of the heavenly wind world. they could indeed fly through the primordial chaos. however, since he could lie down and rest, why would he waste his energy? the interior of the star-class spaceship was extremely spacious. lin fan stood in front of the gigantic protective shield and looked at the chaotic universe. the space around him was constantly distorting as he was entranced. slowly, the space around lin fan started to twist and turn like a liquid. a mysterious and majestic aura appeared on the interstellar spaceship. it even rippled outside the interstellar spaceship. in the next moment¡­ the speed of the interstellar spaceship suddenly soared. after the spaceship pilot noticed the change, he said in panic, ¡°this is bad. a terrifying unknown power has appeared in the spaceship! everyone, be careful!¡± ¡°our speed has increased by more than ten times! moreover, it¡¯s still increasing!¡± ¡°what exactly happened?¡± ¡°we¡¯re done for!¡± ¡­ the entire spaceship was in a mess. ma zheng, who was also in the interstellar spaceship, hurried over to lin fan¡¯s side. when he sensed the thick space energy around lin fan, his face was filled with shock. as expected of senior lin! his usage of spatial power had actually reached such a level! moreover, the spatial power was still increasing! there was also the aura that pervaded senior lin¡¯s body¡­ was senior lin cultivating? at the thought of this, ma zheng hurriedly turned around and told everyone in the spaceship not to panic. they were not allowed to make any noise or do anything to disturb lin fan. Chapter 688 - 688 Space Level Upgrade; Curse Spell! 688 space level upgrade; curse spell! cultivation was timeless. by the time lin fan opened his eyes, the ship had already stopped on revelation planet. it was a planet that could enter the heavenly wind world. lin fan retracted his aura, and the space power dissipated. then, he turned his attention to the system. [host: lin fan] [cultivation: star traveller level 3 (20,000/100,000)] [skill: sword 81] [equipment: star meteorite sword] [laws: time (elementary), space (intermediate), metal (elementary), wood (elementary), water (elementary), fire (elementary), earth (elementary)] [character relationship] [lin tao: father. favorability: ten stars] [dai weixue: mom. favorability: ten stars] [lin xiaoyao: sister: favorability: ten stars] [xia xue: dao companion: favorability ten stars] [xia bing: dao companion: favorability: ten stars¡­] his spatial laws had reached the intermediate level! seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s lips curled up. indeed, after obtaining top-notch spatial law talent, his comprehension ability had increased by quite a bit. at this moment, a commotion suddenly came from outside. ¡°ma zheng, this is a public parking space. isn¡¯t it a little presumptuous of you to occupy it?¡± a middle-aged man with a mustache shouted. his voice attracted the attention of many people. ¡°occupy?¡± ma zheng¡¯s face darkened. ¡°i pay the parking fee on time every day, so how am i occupying it?¡± the middle-aged man with a mustache was called qin dachuan, and he was also a member of hong planet. he had once fought with ma zheng for the position of star lord of hong planet, but unfortunately, he lost. later on, he drifted around the universe. now, he had become a manager in revelation planet. in fact, ma zheng also wanted to leave the public parking space as soon as possible. however, the moment the ship arrived at the port, it was restricted by the space energy that lin fan was cultivating, making it difficult to move forward. ma zheng was worried that forcefully activating it would disturb lin fan, who was cultivating. therefore, he decided to stop here and guard the side at all times. ¡°so what if you pay the parking fee? the public parking lot is only a temporary parking spot. what, do you still think this is hong planet? you still think of yourself as the lord of the planet?¡± qin dachuan shouted, ¡°now, maneuver the spaceship away immediately!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, the group of warriors behind him emitted a dense aura. the surrounding people all looked at him with expressions of anticipation. ma zheng¡¯s expression turned even uglier. at this moment, a figure landed beside ma zheng. when ma zheng saw him, he hurriedly said respectfully, ¡°senior lin.¡± lin fan nodded. ¡°what happened here?¡±¡± thus, ma zheng explained the general situation. lin fan said, ¡°it¡¯s been hard on you.¡± qin dachuan had been carefully sizing lin fan up. at this moment, he also spoke up. ¡°senior, it¡¯s not that i¡¯m making things difficult for him. it¡¯s just that there are too many flying ships coming and going from revolution planet. especially since the heavenly wind world is about to open, the number of flying ships has increased exponentially. ¡°therefore, all the public berths are only for temporary parking, but ma zheng has been parked here for more than ten days.¡± qin dachuan¡¯s and ma zheng¡¯s cultivation levels were similar. ma zheng was so respectful to lin fan that he had to be careful. that was because qin dachuan deeply understood that the strong were respected in this world. if lin fan was really strong, then he would be in danger. lin fan said calmly, ¡°since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s leave.¡± he did not want to make a big fuss over a small matter. ¡°yes, senior,¡± ma zheng replied respectfully. with a loud rumble, the interstellar spaceship arrived at the parking bay of xiuli hotel. lin fan stood in front of the tall floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the scenery outside. he felt very peaceful. in the blink of an eye, two days had passed. ¡­ in a spacious villa. qin dachuan said to the communicator in front of him, ¡°have you found anything?¡± ¡°that person¡¯s name is lin fan. not long ago, he dealt with the abyss mystic realm on the qing planet with the star lord of the qing planet, qing song, the star lord of the spirit planet, feng yue, and the star lord of the hong planet, qin dachuan¡­¡± after qin dachuan turned off the communicator, a look of disdain appeared on his face. ¡°hmph! i was almost scared by him. so, he¡¯s only at the planet level. no wonder he left after saying a few words! ¡°since they came to revelation star, they should be entering the heavenly wind world. hmph! they¡¯d better not let me run into them again.¡± ¡­ at this moment, lin fan, who was resting in xiuli hotel, suddenly heard a clear notification in his mind. [ding! qin dachuan¡¯s hatred toward you has reached two stars.] when lin fan heard this, he could not help but frown. why did this guy suddenly hate him? hence, he placed his attention on qin dachuan¡¯s name. [qin dachuan: star traveller level 2. because you and ma zheng passed by and he misunderstood you as a mighty figure, he felt humiliated and hates you now.] did he treat him as an enemy just like that? lin fan took it to heart. since they were enemies, he had to be vigilant at all times. otherwise, that man might suddenly give him a fatal blow one day. at this moment, the doorbell rang. lin fan saw that it was ma zheng through the video phone. he waved his hand, and the door opened automatically. ¡°senior lin, there¡¯s a trading convention on daluo street today. do you want to go and take a look?¡± ma zheng asked. ¡°trading convention?¡± lin fan was puzzled. ¡°yes. everyone knows that there are great opportunities and great dangers in the heavenly wind world. therefore, they¡¯d hold a trading convention before the opening of the heavenly wind world. there¡¯ll be medicinal pills, weapons, and others. this way, it¡¯ll be safer in the heavenly wind world,¡± ma zheng said. when lin fan heard that, his interest was piqued. this was definitely a way to gain a deeper understanding of this universe. ¡°alright, let¡¯s go and take a look,¡± lin fan said. revelation planet forbade flying. lin fan and ma zheng took a luxurious mechanical car to daluo street. it was called a street, but in fact, it was a city. it was very spacious and lively. when lin fan stepped into daluo street, a crisp notification sounded in his mind.

[curse: an emperor-level skill that possesses powerful curse power. it can cause the cursed person to be plagued by bad luck. it¡¯s extremely evil.] seeing this, lin fan¡¯s eyes lit up. emperor-level skill! moreover, this ability seemed to be quite good. Chapter 689 - 689 Buy; Curse! 689 buy; curse! lin fan and ma zheng walked on daluo street. there were many stalls and shops here. there were all kinds of weapons, armors, high-tech weapons that had the advantage in battles, and pills that emitted a strange fragrance¡­ there were even powerful cultivator slaves and graceful women for sale. it could be said that daluo street had everything that anyone needed. at this moment, ma zheng suddenly stopped in his tracks. his gaze fell on a slightly old spear in a stall not far away. the short and thin old man sitting in front of the stall also noticed this. he glanced at ma zheng from the corner of his eye and said leisurely, ¡°this gun was once the weapon of a planet level warrior. although it has suffered some wear and tear, it¡¯s still very sharp and tough. it only costs 30 stones.¡± ¡°can i take a look?¡± ma zheng asked after pondering for a moment. ¡°sure,¡± the short and skinny old man said. lin fan looked at the spear and then looked around curiously. at this moment, a crisp notification suddenly sounded in his mind. [ding! heavenly soul pearl detected.] [heavenly soul pearl: an emperor-level treasure. it has the special power to continuously nurture and protect the soul.] then, lin fan¡¯s gaze landed on a broken stone in the stall. however, he quickly looked at the other items. he understood that the more he expressed his desire to buy, the higher the price would be. therefore, he casually asked about the price of a few items. finally, he casually asked the heavenly soul pearl on the ground. ¡°a stone found underground, one spirit crystal,¡± the short and thin old man said casually. lin fan nodded. ¡°alright, i¡¯ll buy it.¡± the short and thin old man was a little bewildered. could it be that this stone was a treasure? did he underbid? the short and thin elder sized up the heavenly soul pearl carefully, but he did not discover anything unusual at all. thus, he could only nod. ¡°wait!¡± not far away, an ear-piercing sound suddenly sounded. then, qin dachuan, who had a mustache, walked over. ¡°i¡¯m willing to pay five spirit crystals for this stone!¡± then, he grinned and said, ¡°friend, i¡¯m sorry, but i also think this stone is quite good! ¡°this spear is not bad as well. i¡¯m willing to pay 35 stones.¡± then, he said to the short and thin old man, ¡°you haven¡¯t made a deal yet, right? there shouldn¡¯t be a problem with my bid, right?¡± how could the short and thin old man not understand that qin dachuan might have a grudge against the two people in front of him and was deliberately here to bicker? however, what did that have to do with him? as long as he could sell the items for a better price. he could not be happier! ¡°of course not!¡± the short and thin old man immediately smiled. ma zheng¡¯s expression turned extremely ugly. he liked this weapon very much. if he wanted to buy it now, he would probably have to pay more. lin fan frowned and said, ¡°six spirit crystals.¡± ¡°eight spirit crystals,¡± qin dachuan said with a smile. ¡°i¡¯m sorry. i really like this stone.¡± ¡°ten stones,¡± lin fan said. ¡°twelve stones,¡± qin dachuan said. ¡°fifteen stones,¡± lin fan said. ¡°since you like it so much, then i won¡¯t snatch it away from you.¡± qin dachuan sneered. then, he said to ma zheng, ¡°thirty-five spirit crystals. if you don¡¯t offer a higher price, i¡¯ll take this weapon!¡± ¡°forty spirit crystals!¡± ma zheng said in a deep voice. qin dachuan laughed and said, ¡°i¡¯ll let you have it!¡± then, he walked into the distance in a carefree manner. lin fan looked at qin dachuan¡¯s back and narrowed his eyes. ¡°senior lin, fighting is forbidden on daluo street,¡± ma zheng hurriedly said. ¡°i understand.¡± lin fan nodded. after lin fan paid the 15 spirit crystals, a crisp notification sounded out in his mind. [ding! you¡¯ve spent more than ten spirit crystals. congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained emperor-level sword nurturing technique.] [emperor-level sword nurturing technique: an emperor-level skill. continue to infuse power into the sword to nourish it. when it kills the enemy, it¡¯ll instantly release power, producing endless terrifying power.] seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s expression changed slightly. the accumulated power exploded instantly! this was definitely a good skill to catch the enemy off guard and kill them. then, the two of them continued to stroll around. in the meantime, lin fan found an emperor-level broken sword, a flame crystal, and a life cleansing bottle, which cost him a total of 60 spirit crystals. at the same time, he gained a better understanding of the universe. after lin fan returned to the hotel suite, he first picked up the rusty broken sword and unsealed it according to the system¡¯s instructions. then, he gently touched the stone table in front of him. the stone table broke into two like tofu. seeing this¡­ lin fan could not help but exclaim, ¡°this is an emperor-level weapon? amazing!¡± then, he looked at the life cleansing bottle and released the restriction according to the system notification. he saw a pool of white liquid with extremely strong life force inside. lin fan took in a deep breath, and his entire body felt extremely relaxed. all the pores on his body opened up. ¡°as long as i¡¯m still alive, i¡¯ll probably be able to recover to my peak state immediately after drinking a drop!¡± lin fan praised. lin fan then took out the flame crystal. it was a dark red stone. lin fan followed the system notification¡¯s instructions and slowly unsealed it. he had only undid it a little when the temperature of the entire suite shot up. the air suddenly distorted and smoke gradually rose. seeing this¡­ lin fan hurriedly sealed it once more. ¡°what a terrifying temperature!¡± he exclaimed in shock. ¡°what pure flame energy! when i find a new place to unseal it tomorrow, it¡¯ll definitely be able to greatly increase the power of fire in my five elements!¡± as lin fan said this, he became extremely excited. now, he had some understanding of the spirit crystals and treasures in the universe. regardless of whether it was the life cleansing bottle, the broken emperor-level sword, or the flame crystal, any of them could be sold for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of spirit crystals. he only spent 50 stones! the system was truly amazing! finally, lin fan took out the heavenly soul pearl. after unsealing it, he immediately let it recognize him as its master. instantly, lin fan¡¯s soul had an additional sturdy protective shield. at the same time, his soul was also nourished by a mysterious force. it was constantly condensing and becoming stronger. it was very comfortable. after doing all of this, qin dachuan¡¯s figure appeared in lin fan¡¯s mind. the heavenly soul pearl was definitely a very good treasure. originally, the heavenly soul pearl only cost one spirit crystal. in the end, qin dachuan had to spend 15 spirit crystals. more importantly, if qin dachuan had caused trouble and attracted the attention of others, such a wondrous heavenly soul pearl might not have even reached his hands. at the thought of this, lin fan¡¯s face turned cold as he focused his attention on curse. [do you want to use spirit crystals to curse qin dachuan?] ¡°yes!¡± in the next moment, a spirit crystal in lin fan¡¯s hand shattered into dust and disappeared. Chapter 690 - 690 Heavenly Wind World; Opening! 690 heavenly wind world; opening! today, qin dachuan drank in the restaurant until late at night before he staggered back home. when he was in hong planet, qin dachuan had always been suppressed by ma zheng. he had never felt so carefree as now. whenever qin dachuan recalled ma zheng¡¯s aggrieved look, he could not help but want to laugh out loud. he lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. he started dreaming. qin dachuan was walking in a gloomy forest. in the next moment, a malevolent hand bone suddenly drilled out of the ground and grabbed qin dachuan¡¯s calf, scaring qin dachuan into retreating. soon after, the entire ground was densely packed with countless hand bones. it was a terrifying sea of bones! qin dachuan kept struggling in the sea of bones, but he was unable to break free. gradually, his entire body was devoured by the sea of bones, and he suffered terrible pain. qin dachuan suddenly woke up from his dream. his entire body was covered in sweat as he panted heavily. ¡°so it was a dream¡­¡± after drinking a whole bottle of water, he lay on the bed and fell asleep again. this time, he did not dream of skeletons, but he dreamed of being tied up and eaten alive by savages. qin dachuan woke up from his dream again. ¡°it¡¯s so scary! ¡°why do i keep having nightmares?!¡± this situation lasted for several days. qin dachuan became extremely dispirited, and his eyes were bloodshot. now, he did not dare to sleep anymore. once he fell asleep, he would enter a nightmare. even taking medicine was useless. fortunately, qin dachuan was a powerful cultivator. otherwise, he would probably have a mental breakdown long ago. ¡­ [ding! your enemy, qin dachuan, is mentally deranged because of your curse.] lin fan smiled. curse was a pretty good skill. lin fan found ma zheng and said, ¡°do you know where i can cultivate?¡± ma zheng thought for a moment and said, ¡°there¡¯s a cultivation room in the hundred feet building. it has dense spiritual energy inside. ¡°in addition, the materials of each cultivation room are very special. they have extremely strong defensive and soundproof effects. they can ensure safety and avoid disturbances as much as possible.¡± lin fan nodded. ¡°alright.¡± not long after, lin fan arrived at the hundred feet building. after paying ten spirit crystals, he went straight into a cultivation room that was about 100 square meters. the layout of the cultivation room was very simple. there was a cushion and a clear spring. lin fan sat down cross-legged and unsealed the flame crystal according to the method taught by the system. the temperature soared! the entire cultivation room instantly turned fiery red. lin fan felt around and realized that there were no signs of fire or damage. he could not help but nod his head and say, ¡°as expected of a cultivation ground. the materials in this space are indeed special.¡± then, he closed his eyes and silently absorbed the power of fire on the flame crystal. pure fire element¡­ at first, it was like stars that flew into lin fan¡¯s body. then, they turned into a tornado that entered lin fan¡¯s body. as more and more fire elements were absorbed by lin fan, his skin started to turn fiery red as well. he was like a fire god that had descended into the world! after an unknown period of time¡­ the energy was exhausted and shattered. the size of the flame crystal kept decreasing. in the end, it completely disappeared. lin fan¡¯s skin and the temperature of the cultivation room also gradually returned to normal. finally, lin fan opened his eyes. at the same time, a clear notification sounded in his mind. [ding! fire element law upgraded to intermediate.] lin fan could feel the fire power surging within his body, and a satisfied look appeared on his face. then, he slowly took a step forward and walked out. lin fan had just arrived outside when he saw ma zheng waiting anxiously at the door. when ma zheng saw lin fan, he hurriedly walked over and said excitedly, ¡°senior lin, you¡¯re out.¡± lin fan nodded. ¡°what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°the heavenly wind world is about to open,¡± ma zheng said. when lin fan heard this, he could not help but reveal an awkward look. after all, ma zheng was very concerned about this trip to the heavenly wind world. if he missed the time to enter because of him, he would really feel bad. ¡°let¡¯s go,¡± lin fan said. ¡°alright, senior lin,¡± ma zheng said. ¡­ at this moment, a large square was filled with flying devices. groups of men and women with powerful auras were chatting in low voices with serious expressions. some were filled with anticipation¡­ all of them looked at a towering stone wall in the east. that was because that was one of the places in the heavenly wind world. an aircraft landed in a hurry. lin fan and ma zheng walked down. ¡°thank goodness we made it,¡± ma zheng zhang said with a sigh of relief. lin fan glanced around and said, ¡°there are so many people here.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right,¡± ma zheng said. ¡°after all, the heavenly wind world only opens once every 10,000 years. moreover, there are too many opportunities inside. no one wants to miss this chance. ¡°i heard that someone ate a fruit inside and became a star lord! ¡°someone picked up an invincible technique, and in a short few thousand years, he became a universe-level overlord! ¡°someone else obtained an incomparably terrifying weapon! ¡°one person even picked up a storage ring. there was actually a star lord expert living inside!¡± ¡­ the more ma zheng spoke, the more excited he became. it was as if he would also obtain these treasures if he entered the heavenly wind world. when lin fan heard that, a weird look appeared on his face. an old man lived in the ring? at this moment, an ear-piercing sound came from behind. ¡°are you two going in too?¡± qin dachuan said. ¡°it¡¯s none of your business whether we go in or not.¡± ma zheng frowned. qin dachuan grinned and said, ¡°yes, it¡¯s unrelated now, but that might not be the case once we enter! fighting and killing are not prohibited inside!¡± his threat was obvious! after saying that, he walked into the distance arrogantly and bowed to a man in a black robe. ¡°greetings, senior liu.¡± when ma zheng saw this, his expression immediately turned ugly. ¡°senior lin, i¡¯m afraid we¡¯re in trouble this time,¡± he said in a low voice. ¡°it seems that qin dachuan will be entering the heavenly wind world with a high-level planet martial artist.¡± lin fan nodded his head noncommittally. however, his mind was focused on the system. [qin dachuan. hatred points: two stars. your curse caused him mental disorder, but he was later cured by a strong person.] lin fan thought, ¡®no wonder he doesn¡¯t seem to be affected.¡¯ at this moment, a vast aura rippled over. then, the ordinary-looking stone wall in the east emitted a dazzling light, like a scorching sun that had fallen on the ground. it illuminated the entire world. the heavenly wind world was opened! Chapter 691 - 691 Entering; Spiritual Pearl! 691 entering; spiritual pearl! everyone in the square was enveloped in light. then, they rushed toward the light screen. the moment they entered the light screen, everyone disappeared like water drops into the sea. it was very mysterious. ¡°senior lin, let¡¯s go in too,¡± ma zheng hurriedly said. ¡°alright.¡± lin fan nodded. the two of them took a step forward and walked straight into the light screen. lin fan felt the space around him twist and distort, creating a strong suction force that pulled him and everyone else into different directions. lin fan circulated his space power to keep ma zheng close to him. after an unknown amount of time, lin fan and ma zheng finally landed on the ground. at this moment, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! mission completed: enter the heavenly wind world. reward: true dragon sword x1, cosmos sword technique x1, heaven and earth enlightenment x1.] instantly, an extremely profound and powerful sword technique appeared in lin fan¡¯s mind, as well as a golden longsword that looked like a coiling dragon. he had a feeling that as long as he used this sword, coupled with the cosmos sword technique, it would be nothing difficult for him to destroy the world. it was extremely powerful. after a while, lin fan finally suppressed the joy in his heart. he looked into the distance. in front of him was a dark forest with jagged rocks. the area was surrounded by a thin layer of mist. ¡°senior lin, i can only see the environment within 300 meters,¡± ma zheng said in shock. one had to know¡­ ma zheng was a star traveller-level warrior. it was nothing for him to see everything at a glance. however, the layer of white mist was like a thick wall, completely blocking his line of sight. lin fan looked into the distance. his vision was also blocked by the white mist. however, he had the eyes of true sight, so the obstruction was obviously reduced by a lot. he could see everything within ten kilometers. lin fan said, ¡°my vision is also obstructed.¡± he did not say how far he could see. after all, the two of them had not reached the point of being honest about anything. lin fan asked, ¡°what should we do now? turn around?¡± even though he had been at revelation planet for a period of time, because he was busy absorbing the flame crystal, he did not have the time to search for information about the heavenly wind world. this was also one of the reasons why he let ma zheng follow by his side. ma zheng thought for a moment and said, ¡°we should be at the outer area of the heavenly wind world. we only need to search for ten spiritual pearls in ten years to enter the core area from the east. it¡¯s said that there are many opportunities in the core area.¡± at this point, ma zheng¡¯s tone became heated. ¡°of course, there are many unimaginable treasures even in the periphery.¡± lin fan nodded. ma zheng seemed to have thought of something and said, ¡°i wonder where qin dachuan is. i hope i don¡¯t run into him.¡± as he spoke, he could not help but look around as if he was worried that qin dachuan would suddenly appear and attack him. when lin fan heard qin dachuan¡¯s name, a hint of displeasure surfaced in his heart. he clearly remembered that qin dachuan had two stars of hatred points toward him. in addition, before entering the heavenly wind world, the other party had threatened him. lin fan understood that if he met qin dachuan in the heavenly wind world, he would definitely be at a disadvantage. since that was the case, he would strike first. hence, lin fan took out two spirit crystals and focused his attention on curse. [do you wish to curse qin dachuan?] ¡°yes!¡± the two spirit stones instantly shattered and turned into powder. at this moment, a sound came from the forest not far away. then, a giant spider suddenly jumped out. it waved its steel-like claws, and the trees beside it were broken like grass. a powerful aura swept over with a strong wind, causing lin fan¡¯s and ma zheng¡¯s clothes to flutter. ma zheng said in a panic, ¡°it¡¯s a planet-level beast! moreover, it¡¯s very likely to be equivalent to a mid-level planet warrior!¡± the star traveller-level was divided into nine levels. the first, second, and third levels were the primary levels. the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels were the intermediate levels. the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels reached the high-level planet realm. ma zheng was only at the second level. he was no match for the giant spider. lin fan looked at the giant spider and raised his hand. the shining true dragon sword appeared in his hand, and a dragon roar sounded out. lin fan pulled out the true dragon sword and swung it at the giant spider. ¡°sword of heaven and earth!¡± the mighty sword energy was like a swift and violent thunder as it rushed out and pierced through the giant spider¡¯s body, forming a long gully on the ground. the giant spider broke into two halves and fell to the ground, losing all its vitality. blood splattered everywhere. the air was filled with the thick smell of blood. ma zheng stuttered, ¡°s-senior lin, you¡¯re so powerful!¡± back in the mystic realm, ma zheng already knew that lin fan was extremely strong. however, he did not expect that lin fan could kill a mid-level planet beast as easily as cutting tofu. it was unimaginable. lin fan did not care about ma zheng¡¯s words. he had placed his attention on the system. [ding! you¡¯ve killed a level-four planet exotic beast. you¡¯ve obtained 40,000 experience points.] energy surged in his body. his strength increased! [cultivation: star traveller level 4 (60,000/200,000)] killing the exotic beasts here could actually increase his experience and cultivation! this was simply like fighting monsters to level up! this was the best way to improve! lin fan was extremely happy. after a while, he suppressed the joy in his heart. when he looked down at the spider on the ground, he saw a silver-white pearl the size of a fist on the spider¡¯s abdomen. lin fan raised his hand, and the pearl flew in front of him. ¡°what is this?¡± he felt a very strange energy from the bead. ¡°spiritual pearl!¡± ma zheng said excitedly. ¡°oh? this is a spiritual pearl? it¡¯s in the body of a mutated beast?¡± lin fan was surprised. ¡°spiritual pearls are scattered all over the periphery,¡± ma zheng said. ¡°some would be accidentally swallowed by mutated beasts.¡± lin fan nodded. ¡°since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s continue killing beasts.¡± after all, killing exotic beasts could not only gain experience points, but they also had a chance of obtaining spiritual pearls. why not? he did as he said. lin fan walked forward quickly. after a while, he saw another exotic beast. it was a python that was coiled around a thick tree trunk, almost blending into the tree. as long as anyone passed by, it would suddenly swoop down and swallow that figure into its stomach. lin fan swung his sword from afar. without waiting for the python to react, he cut it and the tree into two. a rumbling sound rang out. [ding! you¡¯ve killed a level-four planet exotic beast. you¡¯ve obtained 40,000 experience.] unfortunately, there were no spiritual pearls in the body of this mutated beast. however, it was not bad to gain experience. Chapter 692 - 692 The Five Masters of Gray Planet; A Threat 692 the five masters of gray planet; a threat the heavenly wind world also had day and night. in the blink of an eye, two months had passed. in the past two months, lin fan had brought ma zheng through the forest, killing beasts one after another. at this moment, lin fan had already obtained 35 spiritual pearls! he directly gave ma zheng ten spiritual pearls. after all, from a certain perspective, ma zheng had given lin fan some help. furthermore, it was useless for lin fan to ask for too many spiritual pearls. but for ma zheng, it was completely different. he had entered the heavenly wind world only to look for opportunities in the outer regions. he had never dreamed of entering the core region. in the end, in just half a month, he had the qualifications to enter the core area! to ma zheng, this was simply like a dream. at the same time, he had a deeper understanding of lin fan¡¯s strength. no matter if it was a low-level, mid-level, or even high-level star traveller beast, lin fan killed them all with a single slash. there were no exceptions. gradually, ma zheng had a guess in his heart¡­ perhaps, lin fan¡¯s cultivation state had already reached the planet level! a planet level genius below 10,000 years old! unimaginable! ¡­. lin fan did not care about what ma zheng was thinking. he focused his attention on the system. [host: lin fan] [cultivation: star traveller level 7 (900,000/2,000,000)] [skills: sword 81 (mortal), curse (emperor), sword nurturing technique (emperor), cosmos sword technique (emperor)] [equipment: star meteorite sword (ordinary rank), flame armor (emperor rank), heavenly soul pearl (emperor rank), true dragon sword (emperor rank)] [laws: time (elementary), space (intermediate), metal (elementary), wood (elementary), water (elementary), fire (intermediate), earth (elementary)] [character relationship:] [lin tao: daddy; favorability: ten stars] [dai weixue: mom; favorability:ten stars] [lin xiaoyao: sister; favorability: ten stars] [xia xue: dao companion; favorability: ten stars] [xia bing, dao companion; favorability: ten stars] [qin dachuan: enemy; hatred points: 3 stars.] lin fan felt the energy surging in his body and was extremely happy. at this moment, a loud noise came from afar. tens of kilometers away, qin dachuan, the black-robed man, and several men in armor were being chased by dozens of powerful exotic beasts. they were in a sorry state, and their faces were filled with panic and fatigue. ¡°damn it! why did another mutated beast appear?¡± ¡°why is the heavenly wind world so dangerous?¡± dangerous? that was right! it was dangerous! ever since they entered the heavenly wind world, they had encountered an endless stream of strange beasts. at first, they did not think much of it. they were even a little happy. that was because after killing a mutated beast, they actually found a spiritual pearl inside. if they could obtain a spiritual pearl for every exotic beast killed, would they not be able to enter the core area very quickly. but gradually, they did not think so. that was because the number of exotic beasts attacking them was increasing, making it impossible for them to resist at all. they could only run. in fact, as time passed, it became very difficult to escape. as early as ten days ago, there were already casualties. however, the number of mutated beasts was still increasing. it was as if they would not stop until they devoured them completely. ¡°the previous heavenly wind world definitely wasn¡¯t this dangerous!¡± ¡°why does it feel like a curse?¡± ¡°damn it!¡± they did not take it to heart, though. they did not know that this was the truth. a man in armor was accidentally torn into pieces by a giant mantis, and blood splattered everywhere. ¡°this is bad, they¡¯re surrounding us!¡± ¡°no!¡± soon, qin dachuan and his group were completely engulfed by the monsters. they screamed incessantly. ¡°i¡¯ll fight it out with you!¡± the black-robed man took out an energy crystal the size of a basketball. in an instant, a terrifying energy suddenly erupted. the surrounding trees and stones instantly turned into nothingness. peace returned. it was also at this moment¡­ a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! your enemy, qin dachuan, died due to the explosion of the energy crystal.] a moment later, lin fan and ma zheng arrived at the scene of the explosion. a huge pit appeared on the ground. some exotic beasts with broken limbs were still struggling to crawl in the holes. lin fan picked up the true dragon sword and waved it around. [ding! you¡¯ve killed a level-three planet level exotic beast. you¡¯ve obtained 30,000 experience points.] [ding! you¡¯ve killed a level-five planet level exotic beast. you¡¯ve obtained 50,000 experience points.] [ding! you¡¯ve killed a level-four planet level exotic beast. you¡¯ve obtained 40,000 experience points.] ¡­ lin fan had killed 15 beasts easily, earning a total of 600,000 experience points. the surging energy kept rippling in his body. then, with a casual wave of his hand, the 11 spiritual pearls hidden in the bodies of the mutated beasts appeared in his hand. lin fan could feel the increase in energy within his body. he then looked at the spiritual pearls in his hand and had a strange look on his face. his enemy helped him earn 600,000 experience points and 11 spiritual pearls? that was actually reasonable. after all, if lin fan were to find and kill these beasts by himself, he would definitely have to spend a certain amount of time. ¡°tsk tsk, kid, hand over all the spiritual pearls! i can spare your life!¡± not far away, an ear-piercing sound came. lin fan and ma zheng looked over. five white-robed men emerged from the darkness. they were staring at lin fan and ma zheng with their cold eyes. they looked like hungry wolves staring at two fat sheep. they were extremely unscrupulous. when ma zheng saw the clothes of the five people, especially the moon symbol on their arms, his pupils constricted slightly. he said in shock, ¡°the five masters of gray planet!¡± ¡°you know them?¡± lin fan asked. ¡°the five masters of gray planet are all disciples of star lord cang,¡± ma zheng said in a low voice. ¡°they¡¯re all mid-level planet geniuses younger than 10,000 years old! their strength is extremely terrifying, and their attacks are also extremely decisive!¡± the man standing in the middle grinned and said, ¡°so, you know us. that¡¯s good! i hope we don¡¯t waste our time, because time¡­ is life!¡± when he said the word ¡®life¡¯, his body emitted a killing intent that was almost tangible. the threat was obvious. ma zheng was only an initial-stage planet cultivator, so how could he withstand such an aura? he could not help but shiver. a threat? regardless of whether it was when lin fan was a chaos dragon god or when he was living on earth, the thing he hated the most was threats. lin fan looked at the five of them coldly as if he was looking at five cold corpses. ¡°is that so? i don¡¯t like wasting time either, so you can all go to hell.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, lin fan pulled out the true dragon sword. a deafening dragon roar resounded in all directions. a sharp sword light turned into a galloping dragon and passed through the white-robed man standing in the middle. Chapter 693 - 693 Benefits; Greatest Benefactor! 693 benefits; greatest benefactor! the sudden change was completely unexpected for the five masters of the gray planet. ¡°li kai!¡± they cried out in shock. however, li kai, who had been cut in half, was clearly unable to respond. lin fan¡¯s movements did not stop at all. he swung his sword again. another sword light shot out, instantly cutting the man on the left into two. ¡°lin en!¡± the remaining three were all terrified and furious. ¡°brat, how dare you?!¡± ¡°bastard!¡± ¡°let¡¯s join forces to kill him!¡± ¡°i must kill him!¡± the three of them took out their weapons and gathered their energy before flying toward lin fan. it was as though he wanted to turn lin fan into ashes on the spot. however, sometimes, even if one was prepared, even if one was angry, even if one used all their strength¡­ it was completely useless. lin fan waved the true dragon sword twice in a row. two dazzling sword lights were like heavenly punishment as they swallowed the two men completely. when the last man saw this, he was scared out of his wits and no longer had any thoughts of revenge or resistance. when he looked at lin fan, it was like he was looking at the most terrifying demon in the world. he was terrified. he hurriedly turned around and transformed into a stream of light as he fled into the unknown forest. however, in front of absolute strength, escaping was just an extravagant hope. lin fan slashed out once more. a huge head rolled to the ground like a football. blood splattered! silence! the entire scene was silent! even though they had said so much, it had only been a few seconds since lin fan pulled out his sword. in a few seconds, five star traveller fighters were dead! the famous five masters of the gray planet lost their lives just like that! ma zheng could not help but swallow his saliva. his entire heart was shocked to the extreme. when lin fan faced star traveller beasts, he killed them all easily. against star travellers, it was the same! earlier, ma zheng had already guessed that lin fan¡¯s cultivation state had reached the planet level. now, this conjecture was confirmed. at this moment, lin fan¡¯s heart was not calm either. a series of notifications had sounded in his mind. [ding! you¡¯ve killed a level-six planet cultivator. you¡¯ve obtained 60,000 experience points.] [ding! you¡¯ve killed a level-four planet cultivator. you¡¯ve obtained 40,000 experience points.] [ding! you¡¯ve killed a level-five planet cultivator. you¡¯ve obtained 50,000 experience points.] [ding! you¡¯ve killed a level-five planet cultivator. you¡¯ve obtained 50,000 experience points.] [ding! you¡¯ve killed a level-five planet cultivator. you¡¯ve obtained 50,000 experience points.] killing cultivators was the same as killing beasts, and he could also gain experience points! energy surged into his heart. however, lin fan¡¯s emotions were getting a little complicated. after all, cultivators were humans. however, killing humans could increase one¡¯s cultivation. this could easily lead one to become bewitched and go astray. however, lin fan¡¯s gaze turned resolute once more. if people did not provoke him, he would not provoke them. if someone tried to threaten him, he would just kill them? killing enemies and increasing cultivation, why not? then, lin fan waved his hand, and a bronze ring flew out from the finger of the first dead man. [spatial ring: do you want to spend 100 high-grade spirit stones to open it?] in fact¡­ this was also the reason why lin fan had killed this man first. lin fan did not know if there were any terrifying things within the space ring. ¡°activate!¡± the 100 spirit stones that were stored in lin fan¡¯s internal space shattered instantly, turning into a stream of light and disappearing. the interspatial ring in front of him let out a soft sound. with a thought, lin fan took out all the items he had stored in his storage ring. swords, spears, spears, shields, and other weapons, as well as mountains of top-grade spirit stones and spirit crystals, various pills, and 11 spiritual pearls, all appeared on the ground. these things all contained extraordinary auras and could be called treasures. however, lin fan only glanced at them casually and did not take them to heart. that was because lin fan had already obtained even more precious treasures from the system. looking at these things, they naturally seemed very ordinary. he raised his hand, and the golden spear flew into his hand. ¡°this is for you.¡± then, the spear flew in front of ma zheng. ma zheng was slightly stunned. then, he said excitedly, ¡°thank you, senior lin.¡± when he touched the spear and felt the powerful aura emitted from it, he became even more excited. ¡°this¡­ this is too valuable!¡± ma zheng was an expert in using spears. he knew very well how precious this spear was. lin fan said, ¡°it¡¯s just a small item. take it.¡± lin fan was definitely not spouting nonsense. that was because this spear was indeed a small toy compared to the true dragon sword and other emperor-level weapons. ma zheng did not dare to reject lin fan anymore. then, the two of them set foot on the road again. ¡­ two days passed in the blink of an eye. when lin fan and ma zheng arrived at a green forest, a strong fragrance filled the air. ¡°it smells so good,¡± ma zheng could not help but say. after a while, his gaze fell on a golden tree not far away. the tree was covered with fruits that looked like dragons. ¡°dragon development fruit!¡± a large lion with a pair of vertical pupils and a height of more than ten meters walked out with its teeth bared. it took a step forward with its thick claws, and the entire space seemed to collapse. a terrifying aura pressed down like a huge mountain. ma zheng was so scared that his face turned pale. he could not help but take two steps back. his body trembled as he stuttered, ¡°this¡­ this aura¡­ it¡¯s a high-level planet beast¡­¡± as the sound of his voice faded, lin fan slashed out with his sword. a hideous wound immediately appeared on the neck of the huge lion. hot blood surged out like spring water. the giant lion had no strength to resist at all. its body fell to the ground like a mountain, losing all signs of life. ¡®as expected of senior lin.¡¯ ma zheng praised in his heart. [ding! you¡¯ve killed a level-nine planet exotic beast. you¡¯ve obtained 90,000 experience points.] in the next moment, the dragon development fruit hanging on the tree and the spiritual pearl within the lion¡¯s body all flew up in front of lin fan. lin fan passed one of the dragon development fruits over to ma zheng. as for the rest, he placed them into his internal space. ¡°senior lin, thank you!¡± ma zheng said excitedly. after entering the heavenly wind world, not only did he obtain ten spiritual pearls and the opportunity to enter the core region, but he also obtained a high-grade spear and a dragon development fruit. it was definitely a great harvest! ma zheng understood that all of this was because of lin fan. in his heart, he had already treated lin fan as his benefactor¡ªthe greatest benefactor in his life! Chapter 694 - 694 Breakthrough; Planet Level! 694 breakthrough; planet level! for the rest of the time, lin fan and ma zhong did not bring the spiritual pearls toward the east where they could enter the core region of the heavenly wind world. instead, they continued to kill exotic beasts in the outer area. ¡­ time flowed like water. in the blink of an eye, lin fan had been in the heavenly wind world for almost a year. a dazzling sword light swept across the sky and instantly cut a cheetah that was more than ten meters tall in the distance into two halves. then, a tall and handsome figure slowly walked out. it was lin fan. [ding! you¡¯ve killed a level-four planet beast. you¡¯ve obtained 40,000 experience points.] then, he turned his attention to the system. [host: lin fan] [cultivation: star traveller level 9 (8.96 million/10 million)] [skills: sword 81 (mortal), curse (emperor), sword nurturing technique (emperor), cosmos sword technique (emperor)] [equipment: star meteorite sword (ordinary rank), flame armor (emperor rank), heavenly soul pearl (emperor rank), true dragon sword (emperor rank)] [laws: time (elementary), space (intermediate), metal (elementary), wood (elementary), water (elementary), fire (intermediate), earth (elementary)] [character relationship: [lin tao: daddy; favorability: ten stars] [dai weixue: mom; favorability:ten stars] [lin xiaoyao: sister; favorability: ten stars] [xia xue: dao companion; favorability: ten stars] [xia bing, dao companion; favorability: ten stars] seeing this¡­ lin fan muttered in his heart, ¡®i haven¡¯t broken through to the planet level yet. this is slower than i thought.¡¯ slow? if others knew about lin fan¡¯s situation, they would definitely be shocked. one had to know¡­ every time a star traveller broke through a small realm, it would take at least a few hundred years. lin fan¡¯s speed was simply unbelievable! at this moment, lin fan heard another notification in his mind. [ding! you¡¯ve obtained the advanced system for one year. reward: 1,000,000 experience points, thunder battle axe (emperor) x1, 18 thunder axe (emperor) x1, beginner rule upgrade gem x1.] seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s expression changed slightly. advanced system? could it be the upgraded system? he had possessed it for a year and received a reward. would he receive a reward every year in the future? at the thought of this, lin fan¡¯s eyes burned with passion. whether it was experience points, weapons, cultivation techniques, or leveling gems, they were all very good things. if he could obtain these treasures every year, why would he have to worry about not being able to protect earth and his family? not far away, a beast¡¯s roar sounded. lin fan did not even look and just waved his sword. a ferocious wolf fell to the ground. [ding! you¡¯ve killed a level-five star traveller mutated beast. you¡¯ve obtained 50,000 experience points.] [ding! your cultivation level has increased to the first level of the planet realm (1/5000).] [ding! you¡¯ve completed the hidden mission. your cultivation has increased to the planet level. you¡¯ve obtained beginner rule upgrade gem x1, defense array (emperor), flame spear art (emperor), and soul communication (emperor).] a surge of energy spread out from lin fan¡¯s body, forming a strong hurricane around him. the trees rustled, and the leaves flew everywhere. at the same time, a complicated formation, a powerful spear technique, and a mysterious soul technique rippled in his mind. ma zheng, who was at the side, could feel lin fan¡¯s powerful aura and could not help but gulp. he was secretly shocked. just how strong was senior lin? [ding! ma zheng¡¯s favorability toward you has increased to six stars.] in this one year, ma zheng had been admiring lin fan, and his impression of him kept increasing. lin fan casually glanced at ma zheng and said, ¡°let¡¯s go to the front and rest for a while.¡± ¡°alright¡­ alright,¡± ma zheng hurriedly said. lin fan sat down under the tree and closed his eyes to rest. his attention was focused on the two beginner rule upgrade gem. he wanted to choose the time and metal laws. however, the time law was still in a gray state, and the metal law was flickering. [hint: the time law is a special law. it can only be upgraded after more than ten laws have been upgraded to intermediate or above.] [do you want to use the beginner rule upgrade gems for the gold and wood laws?] ¡°yes!¡± the two streams of light revolved around lin fan and entered his body. lin fan immediately felt that he had a deep understanding and closeness towards the metal and wood elements. creating metal and trees out of thin air was a piece of cake. following that, lin fan focused his attention on soul communication. [soul communication: a magical power that allows you to easily communicate with people you¡¯ve seen or come into contact with across distance and space.] seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s eyes lit up immediately. this was simply an interstellar phone! he hurriedly established a soul communication with lin tao. soon, lin tao¡¯s consciousness appeared in a dark space. ¡°what is this place?¡± he asked, somewhat confused. ¡°could it be a dream?¡± then, lin fan appeared. ¡°dad!¡± ¡°could it be that i haven¡¯t seen lil fan for too long?¡± lin tao muttered. lin fan smiled. ¡°dad, you¡¯re not dreaming. this is an ability i just learned. i can ignore space and talk to you directly.¡± ¡°really?¡± lin tao said in surprise. ¡°yes.¡± lin fan nodded. ¡°how are you guys doing on earth?¡± ¡°good, good! we¡¯re all fine!¡± lin tao said excitedly. clearly, he believed lin fan¡¯s words. then, lin fan told lin tao about the recent events. then, he communicated with dai weixue, lin xiaoyao, xia xue, xia bing, hu tian, han tian, su ningjing, and all his loved ones. although they could not meet each other, everyone felt much more relaxed after chatting. after communicating, lin fan¡¯s desire to increase his cultivation grew even more fervent. only with enough strength could he better protect his beautiful life. hence, lin fan brought ma zheng along and started hunting beasts. in the blink of an eye, five years had passed. in the past five years, lin fan had received a reward from the system every year. he had received 37 million experience points, as well as heaven flipping palm (emperor), heaven stabbing finger (emperor), black jade whip (emperor), heaven breaking whip (emperor), heaven climbing pine (emperor), and many other treasures. in the past five years, lin fan had lost count of how many strange beasts he had killed. he had also killed some foes. finally, his cultivation state had reached level-three planet. on this day, lin fan stood at the peak of the mountain and looked down at the layers of trees below. ¡°there are still four years left. it¡¯s about time to go to the core area to take a look.¡± then, he said to ma zheng, ¡°let¡¯s go to the east.¡± ¡°you mean¡­¡± ma zheng¡¯s heart moved slightly. ¡°we¡¯re going to the core area,¡± lin fan said. ¡°yes, sir!¡± ma zheng said excitedly. all these years, ma zheng had relied on lin fan and obtained many benefits. at the same time, he had a deep understanding of how invincible lin fan was. ma zheng believed that as long as they entered the core region, lin fan would definitely be able to obtain more opportunities. he would also benefit from it. Chapter 695 - 695 Core Area; Enlightenment Tablet! 695 core area; enlightenment tablet! in the dense forest of the heavenly wind world, a few figures discussed in low voices. ¡°didn¡¯t the elders say that there are many strange beasts in the heavenly wind world that have spiritual pearls? why haven¡¯t we killed any of them?¡± ¡°the thing is that there are too few mutated beasts here. i haven¡¯t seen one in months.¡± ¡°there are many opportunities in the core area. i have to think of a way to enter.¡± ¡°the strong prey on the weak. we should use some special methods! go to the east and lay in ambush!¡± ¡°alright!¡± ¡­ similar discussions rose and fell in the outer region of the heavenly wind world. therefore, more and more people headed east even though they had not gathered ten spiritual pearls. ¡­ as a result, lin fan and ma zheng encountered a few waves of robbers on their way to the core region. they were all easily taken care of by lin fan. in fact, lin fan had even taken all of their belongings. when lin fan found out the reason for the robbery, his expression turned weird. of course, these things were just a small interlude to him. a month later, lin fan and ma zheng arrived in front of a huge door. it was heavy and dignified. lin fan and ma zheng each held ten spiritual pearls in their hands and came to the door. the ten spiritual pearls turned into streams of light that revolved around the two of them. then, the two of them directly passed through the door. in the next moment, they arrived at a stone forest. not far away, loud bangs rang out. ¡°put down the planet-level sword and i can spare your life!¡± the short man said. ¡°not dead? hahaha! what a joke. you?¡± the tall man with a full beard said. ¡°the treasured sword is mine!¡± someone else shouted. ¡°those who are not afraid of death, come!¡± the bearded man said. the heavenly wind world only allowed cultivators who were younger than 10,000 years old to enter. planet-level treasures were attractive to them. several figures either chased or attacked each other¡­ the wind howled, and rocks flew everywhere. after a while, the bearded man rushed toward lin fan. ¡°get lost!¡± he yelled. as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly swung his saber. a sharp and swift blade light shot toward lin fan. ma zheng¡¯s entire body went numb, and the aura of death surged into his heart. unblockable! lin fan¡¯s expression remained calm as he lifted his eyelids slightly. then, he pulled out the true dragon sword. he swung his sword, and a dragon¡¯s roar sounded. the saber in the bearded man¡¯s hand broke. ¡°how is that possible?¡± he asked in shock. then, his entire body was cut in half. he fell to the ground stiffly and lost all his vitality. [ding! you¡¯ve killed a level-six planet cultivator. you¡¯ve gained 60,000 experience.] when the people chasing after the bearded man saw this, their bodies all froze, and their faces were filled with horror. ¡°another planet-level weapon? no! perhaps it¡¯s a legendary emperor-level weapon!¡± ¡°what a powerful force!¡± lin fan raised his eyelids slightly. it turned out that an emperor-level weapon was one level higher than a planet-level weapon. he did not stay where he was for long and strode forward. the few people in the distance quickly retreated to the side. ma zheng followed behind lin fan the entire time. his admiration for lin fan only grew stronger. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, a year had passed. there were indeed more opportunities in the core region than in the outer region. lin fan obtained three domain lord-level weapons and one planet-level weapon. he also obtained a few special fruits. this was definitely a great harvest for ordinary people. however, lin fan¡¯s interest was lacking. this was because these treasures were nothing compared to the things he had obtained from the system. in fact, lin fan was starting to miss the outer region. at the very least, there were more exotic beasts in the outer region. after killing them, he could obtain experience points. lin fan did not search around the core region. instead, he continued to move forward, heading toward the depths. not long after, a hundred-meter-tall stone tablet appeared in his vision. many people were sitting cross-legged around the stone tablet. energy circulated around their bodies, and a very special aura pervaded the air. ¡°it¡¯s the enlightenment tablet!¡± ma zheng said excitedly. ¡°oh?¡± lin fan was puzzled. ¡°this is a stone tablet left behind by a super expert. it contains his comprehension of cultivation and the power of many laws. as long as you cultivate around this stone tablet, you can enter a deep state of cultivation. you even have the chance to enter a state of enlightenment and continuously break through!¡± at this point, ma zheng became extremely excited. it was as if he could see himself breaking through to the realm he had always dreamed of. ¡°also, there¡¯s an unwritten rule in the enlightenment tablet that forbids fighting. violators will be attacked.¡± he could not be blamed for reminding lin fan. this was what lin fan had been doing all these years. if there was a disagreement, he would directly kill the enemy. he was cold-blooded and powerful! however, there were so many cultivators here. ma zheng was worried that even lin fan would be in danger. lin fan nodded. ¡°alright, let¡¯s find a place to cultivate.¡± ¡°alright,¡± ma zheng said. there were indeed many people around the stone tablet, but fortunately, the stone tablet was big enough, and there were still many empty seats. lin fan and ma zheng sat cross-legged in the upper left corner. their beings soon became very ethereal. when they circulated their cultivation techniques or the power of laws, it was as if a guiding force had appeared in the unseen world. it allowed them to cultivate far more efficiently than before. ma zheng was pleasantly surprised. he felt that as long as he cultivated here for a few years, it was possible for him to break through one or even two minor realms. as expected of the enlightenment tablet! lin fan frowned. although it was somewhat helpful for cultivation, he help was too limited. enlightenment? lin fan quickly thought of the enlightenment he had obtained after entering the heavenly wind world and completing the system mission. it was cultivation anyway, so he might as well use it now. if he wanted to do it, he would do it. ¡®use heaven and earth enlightenment!¡¯ lin fan thought to himself. instantly, lin fan¡¯s surroundings were filled with an extremely mysterious aura. then, wisps of white energy visible to the naked eye appeared in the air. the white energy seemed to be attracted by lin fan as it revolved around him, wrapping him up like a huge cocoon. a gust of wind blew across the entire enlightenment tablet area, making everyone feel relaxed and happy. at the same time, many people stopped cultivating and looked around carefully and curiously. when they saw lin fan, who was surrounded by the white energy, everyone¡¯s eyes widened as they cried out in shock. ¡°someone actually had an epiphany?!¡± Chapter 696 - 696 Return; Missing! 696 return; missing! an epiphany! this was a word that only existed in legends. more and more people cast curious gazes over. some people¡¯s eyes flickered as if they were thinking about something. however, after seeing the people around the enlightenment tablet, they gradually calmed down. some people were envious, while others wanted to befriend lin fan¡­ however, no one spent too much time on lin fan. this was because this was the only chance in their life to reach the enlightenment tablet. they could not miss it. time flew by like water. four years passed in a flash. lin fan had finally escaped from the state of heaven and earth enlightenment. the white energy around him slowly dissipated. at the same time, lin fan¡¯s body emitted a vast aura. it was as if he was looking down as the only ruler of the world, making people feel like worshipping him. at this moment, a series of notifications rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! it¡¯s been seven years since you¡¯ve obtained the advanced system. reward: 100,000,000 experience points, epiphany of heaven and earth x1, elementary rule upgrade gem x1.] [ding! it¡¯s been eight years since you¡¯ve obtained the advanced system. reward: 200,000,000 experience points, path-understanding tree x1.] [ding! it¡¯s been nine years since you¡¯ve obtained the advanced system. reward: 300 million experience points, immortal rice seeds x10.] [ding! it¡¯s been ten years since you¡¯ve obtained the advanced system. reward: 400 million experience points, movie viewing skill.] the advanced system was obviously very intelligent. it knew that lin fan was in a state of enlightenment and could not be disturbed. therefore, it did not give out any rewards. then, a series of notifications rang out in his mind. [ding! your cultivation level increased to level-four planet (980 million/100 million)] [ding! your cultivation level increased to level-five planet (880 million/200 million)] [ding! your cultivation level increased to level-six planet (680 million/500 million)] [ding! your cultivation level increased to level-seven planet (180 million/1 billion)] instantly, lin fan¡¯s entire body seemed to have turned into a sun that hung high up in the sky, emitting an endless amount of dazzling light. it was majestic and vast! the violent storm spread out with lin fan at the center, causing the clothes of everyone around the enlightenment tablet to rustle. in fact, they could not help but take a few steps back. lin fan let out a breath of air and retracted his aura. only then did the scene return to normal. however, everyone still looked at lin fan in fear, unable to speak for a long time. at this moment, a stream of light appeared around everyone. the stream of light revolved around them continuously. the space flowed at a high speed and produced a powerful suction force, pulling everyone in. with lin fan¡¯s current control over space, he could completely break free from the pull of space. however, he did not do so. that was because he had sensed it and knew that the other side of this spatial passageway was revelation planet. lin fan understood that it was time for the heavenly wind world to close. in the next moment¡­ lin fan, ma zheng, and everyone else who had entered the heavenly wind world returned to the square where they had entered. after returning to the square, everyone could not help but look around. they quietly pulled away from the people around them. this was because they had more or less obtained some opportunities in the heavenly wind world. wealth moved people¡¯s hearts, no matter where it was. ¡°master!¡± ¡°master!¡± ¡°ancestor!¡± some people quickly noticed the people in the distance who were emitting powerful auras and shouted excitedly. then, they rushed over. among them, an old man with a youthful face and white hair used his sharp eyes to scan the crowd. ¡°none of the five of them are here? how is this possible?¡± this old man was called chu xiong, the famous star lord of gray planet. soon, his eyes locked onto ma zheng. strictly speaking, it was locked onto the spear in ma zheng¡¯s hand. chu xiong took a step forward and shot toward ma zheng like a sharp arrow. he stretched out his hand and formed a claw, sweeping with a tyrannical force as he slapped at ma zheng. the space shattered and the wind howled. this claw was enough to tear ma zheng into pieces. at this moment, lin fan raised his hand and pointed out. a sharp finger sword shot out, piercing through chu xiong¡¯s claws and his entire body, crushing him into nothingness. silence! the entire scene was deathly silent! lin fan had attacked without holding back. that was because he noticed that chu xiong had attacked in anger after seeing ma zheng¡¯s spear. the spear came from the hands of the five masters of the gray planet. lin fan knew who this person was with just a thought. he must be the star lord of gray planet. he had killed five of his disciples, so he would not rest until one of them died. since that was the case, the right choice was to strike first. very quickly, the people present verified lin fan¡¯s guess. ¡°that was¡­ the star lord of gray planet, chu xiong?¡± ¡°why did he suddenly disappear?¡± ¡°what exactly happened?¡± ¡­ ma zheng, who was standing beside lin fan, could not help but swallow his saliva. others were far away and might not have been able to see clearly. however, ma zheng, who was right in front, saw everything very clearly. one finger! lin fan had killed chu xiong with a single finger! that was chu xiong! ten thousand years ago, he was already a planet level super warrior! in the end, he was killed by lin fan with a single finger! just how strong was lin fan? ma zheng looked at lin fan with respect. ¡°t-thank you, senior lin.¡± [ding! ma zheng¡¯s favorability toward you has increased to seven stars.] ¡°it¡¯s just a small matter,¡± lin fan said. he looked around and said, ¡°let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°yes,¡± ma zheng said respectfully. lin fan did not stay on revelation planet for too long. he took an interstellar flying device and went around the many planets in the spring region before jumping into the universe and teleporting away. compared to when he first came out from earth, the speed and distance of lin fan¡¯s teleportation was clearly much faster. half a month later, a blue planet appeared in his vision. it was earth. lin fan¡¯s figure flashed and he arrived at the coiling dragon villa. ¡°lil fan!¡± ¡°brother!¡± ¡°lin fan!¡± ¡°honey!¡± in the coiling dragon villa, shouts immediately rang out one after another. then, xia xue, xia bing, hu tian, qiu ziqian, su ningjing, and a large group of people ran out quickly. even though it had been ten years since lin fan left earth, none of their faces had changed. on the contrary, their skin became fairer, and their faces became smoother and more beautiful. this was because the earth now had a huge amount of spiritual energy. their lifespan and health had all been greatly improved. other than that, lin fan had also left behind a large amount of beauty potions, spirit stones, and spirit fruits¡­forget about a mere ten years, even if it was tens or hundreds of years, hu tian, qiu ziqian, su ningjing, and the others would definitely not age. ¡°i missed you so much.¡± qiu ziqian, su ningjing, xia xue, xia bing, and the others all spoke at once. their voices were filled with tenderness. lin fan¡¯s heart melted instantly. ¡°i missed you guys too.¡± Chapter 697 - 697 Ten Months Pregnancy; River of Time 697 ten months pregnancy; river of time everyone hugged each other. after a long time, they slowly separated. lin fan said, ¡°if nothing special happens, i won¡¯t leave.¡± this was the decision he had made before he returned. lin fan had left earth previously because he wanted to obtain more power to protect earth. now, although he was not the strongest, he was still very strong. he also possessed the ability to continuously become stronger even on earth¡­ that was the advanced system! other than that, lin fan also had a formation that could protect earth from being harmed. now, he was confident that he could protect earth and his family! ¡­ when everyone heard this, their beautiful eyes lit up. ten years had long made them suffer from lovesickness. now, there was finally no need for that. lin fan ate a sumptuous meal with them. it was warm and cozy. then, lin fan took out many spirit crystals and arranged them in a special way. then, he used a special method to write countless mysterious runes in the spirit crystals and the void. these talismans spread and rippled in circles. gradually, they enveloped the entire earth. the entire earth turned dark. after a while, it returned to normal. at the same time, a sense of security and heaviness that they had never felt before rose in the hearts of everyone on earth. ¡°the protective array formation has been successfully set up!¡± lin fan heaved a sigh of relief. this defensive array was an emperor-grade defensive array obtained from the advanced system. it had the powerful function of concealing aura, reducing size, and even blocking the attacks of emperor-grade experts. in the universe, the earth had already become the size of a rock. people who traveled across the universe could not discover it at all. right now, lin fan knew that the emperor level was a level higher than the planet level. with this formation, at least for a short period of time, the safety of earth was guaranteed. this was also the main reason why lin fan returned to earth. then, lin fan set up a small defensive formation around the coiling dragon villa. he planted the path-understanding tree, immortal rice seeds, heaven climbing pine, and other plants in the villa. in an instant, the entire villa was filled with a sea of spiritual energy. with a breath, he felt as if he had become a few years younger. he felt comfortable and relaxed to the extreme. following that, lin fan called lin tao, lin xiaoyao, xia xue, xia bing, qiu ziqian and the rest to the path-understanding tree. he brought them to comprehend the five elements, space, time and other laws. he also taught them various cultivation techniques. although earth¡­ especially the coiling dragon villa, had enough spiritual energy to prolong one¡¯s life¡­ the lifespan of humans was still very limited. cultivation, on the other hand, could continuously increase one¡¯s lifespan. everyone understood this principle, so they cultivated very seriously. ¡­ time flowed like water. in the blink of an eye, another ten years had passed. in the past ten years, lin fan had been receiving rewards from the system every year. all kinds of rewards, coupled with his continuous cultivation, allowed his cultivation to increase greatly in the past ten years. [host: lin fan] [cultivation: level-nine planet (3.5 billion/10 billion) [skills: sword 81 (ordinary), curse spell (emperor), sword nurturing technique (emperor), cosmos sword technique (emperor)¡­] [equipment: star meteorite sword (ordinary), flame armor (emperor), heavenly soul pearl (emperor), true dragon sword (emperor)¡­] [laws: time (elementary), space (intermediate), metal (intermediate), wood (intermediate), water (intermediate), fire (intermediate), earth (intermediate), life (elementary), death (elementary)] [character relationship:] [lin tao: daddy; favorability: ten stars] [dai weixue: mom; favorability:ten stars] [lin xiaoyao: sister; favorability: ten stars] [xia xue: dao companion; favorability: ten stars] [xia bing, dao companion; favorability: ten stars] seeing this, lin fan muttered, ¡°in these ten years, i will grasp the laws of life and death. then, i will grasp two more laws and raise them to the intermediate level. after that, i¡¯ll be able to raise the time law.¡± time was the most important thing in the world, and lin fan had an inexplicable obsession with it. ¡°next, what laws should i comprehend?¡± the sky that was originally filled with the scorching sun suddenly darkened. a gust of cold wind whistled from afar. lin tao walked out and said, ¡°it was still sunny just now, but now it¡¯s overcast¡­ it¡¯s going to rain.¡± lin fan¡¯s eyes twitched as he muttered, ¡°yin? yang?¡± but soon, he frowned again. yin and yang were undoubtedly two extremely powerful laws. however, how should he cultivate them? for a moment, he was a little confused. a thunderclap sounded. the lightning bolt twisted crazily, as if it had torn countless cracks in the sky. heavy rain fell. with lin fan¡¯s abilities and skills in formations, he could totally block the rain and the wind from the coiling dragon villa. however, he did not do that. sometimes, experiencing the changes of the four seasons and nature was also beneficial. lin fan returned to his room and was still thinking about the yin and yang laws. at this moment, the door was slowly pushed open. hu tian walked in. at this moment, hu tian was wearing a red cheongsam. time had not left a single mark on hu tian¡¯s fair and beautiful face. she had a curvaceous figure and a slender, smooth waist without an inch of fat. under her perky buttocks was a pair of long, beautiful legs. Chapter 698 - 698 Ten Months Pregnancy; River of Time (2) 698 ten months pregnancy; river of time (2) she looked like a piece of art, so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her. when hu tian¡¯s beautiful eyes met lin fan¡¯s, her pretty face flushed red. then, she slowly opened her cherry-like mouth and exhaled a mouthful of sweet hot air. ¡°lin fan, let¡¯s have a child.¡± lin fan was stunned. in his mind, the image of a baby being born, growing up, and calling him father suddenly appeared. for a moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation. thus, he nodded lightly and said, ¡°alright.¡± when hu tian heard this, her pretty face turned even redder. she leaned toward lin fan. a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the two of them. ¡­ after an unknown period of time, hu tian slowly walked out. a moment later, han tian walked in. she whispered, ¡°i¡­ i also want a child.¡± ¡­ such days lasted for a year. on this day, lin fan suddenly felt life fluctuations in hu tian¡¯s and chu yunyue¡¯s stomachs. his heart raced. at the same time, he suddenly had some enlightenment. the combination of yin and yang, the creation of life and death! instantly, a black energy and a white energy emanated from lin fan¡¯s body. with lin fan as the center, these two energies revolved around him like two small fish swimming around. gradually, they formed an eight trigrams formation. the eight trigrams formation continued to expand. after a while, the entire sky turned black and white. it was extremely strange! everyone looked up, took out their phones to take photos, or discussed. at this moment, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve comprehended yin laws (elementary).] [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve comprehended yang laws (elementary).] [ding! congratulations. you¡¯ve obtained ten types of nomological great dao, 1,000,000,000 exp, basic nomological upgrade gem x1, heaven and earth enlightenment x1, river of time entrance x1.] lin fan could feel the two mysterious powers within his body, as well as the energy that was constantly increasing. a faint smile appeared on his face. he restrained his aura, and the black and white colors on his body and the black screen disappeared without a trace. everything returned to normal. at this moment, hu tian and qiu ziqian jogged over. they said excitedly, ¡°lin fan, we seem to have conceived!¡± it was difficult for ordinary people to notice even if they were pregnant. however, after more than ten years of cultivation, the two women were no longer ordinary people. they could easily feel the changes in their bodies. ¡°yes, we¡¯re going to be parents soon!¡± lin fan said. at this point, a smile appeared on his face. han tian, su ningjing, huang ling, xia xue, xia bing, and the others followed. they were happy about this, but at the same time, they were a little disappointed. why had they not conceived? on this day, the entire coiling dragon villa was filled with laughter. in the following period of time, lin fan was just like many other fathers who were about to become fathers. he took care of hu tian and qiu ziqian very carefully. in the blink of an eye, nine months had passed. as the old saying went, pregnancy took ten months. however, this was not a complete sentence. to put it simply, a woman would be pregnant for at most ten months. this was because most people would give birth after nine months of pregnancy. at most, they would give birth after ten months of pregnancy. however, nine months had passed, and hu tian¡¯s and qiu ziqian¡¯s stomachs did not show any signs of getting bigger, let alone giving birth. this made everyone feel very surprised. if it were not for the fact that there were still two lives beating in their stomachs, everyone would probably think that they were not pregnant at all. ¡°good things take time!¡± dai weixue comforted. ¡°perhaps the children want to stay with their mothers¡¯ wombs for a while longer, so they¡¯re not in a hurry.¡± everyone could only nod in agreement. gradually, 24 months passed. hu tian¡¯s and qiu ziqian¡¯s stomachs did not change much. at first, hu tian and qiu ziqian were not in a hurry. they only focused on their pregnancy. however, as time passed, they became a little anxious. they began to eat spiritual fruits and cultivate diligently. this was because they were worried that the children in their stomachs might not have enough nutrition. perhaps that was why they could not grow up. or perhaps their children was like what was described in those novels. they had inherited the powerful bloodline of their parents and needed to grow in their mothers¡¯ stomachs for thousands of years before they could be born. if it was the second case, they would at least be able to live for a few more thousand years, right? otherwise, they would die of old age before the children were born. what should they do then? originally, han tian, su ningjing, huang ling, song jiaxin, and the others also wanted to work harder and get pregnant as soon as possible. however, with hu tian and qiu ziqian as examples, they began to take a break and cultivate even harder. only with a higher cultivation and a longer lifespan could they successfully give birth to children. all of a sudden, the entire cultivation atmosphere in the coiling dragon villa was unprecedentedly intense. lin fan looked at the group of people who were training hard and had a weird look on his face. then, he slowly focused his attention on the beginner rule upgrade gem and the life law (elementary). [do you want to use the beginner rule upgrade gem on the life law (elementary)?] ¡°yes!¡± instantly, lin fan¡¯s entire body was filled with a life force that was as vigorous as the ocean. even though the courtyard he was in was filled with stone slabs, in the blink of an eye, an emerald green plant grew on the rock at a speed visible to the naked eye. a gorgeous flower bloomed. the fragrance was overflowing, and it was beautiful! this scene quickly attracted the attention of everyone who was cultivating hard. ¡°it smells so good!¡± they exclaimed. ¡°so beautiful!¡± ¡°it¡¯s so beautiful!¡± ¡­ ¡°lin fan, did you break through again?¡± hu tian asked. lin fan said, ¡°there¡¯s a breakthrough in the power of laws.¡± when everyone heard that, they were even happier. their eyes that were looking at lin fan became even more heated. this was the man they liked! it was nighttime, and the wind howled again. rain fell on the window, making a sound. in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. on this day, lin fan sat alone in his bedroom and placed his attention on the river of time. [ding! enter the river of time?] a white hole appeared in lin fan¡¯s mind. he had a very feeling that as long as he willed it, he could reach the unknown world. lin fan muttered, ¡°what¡¯s the river of time?¡± [the river of time is an extremely mysterious river. walking in it can increase one¡¯s comprehension of various laws, cultivation techniques, array formations, and speed up cultivation.] lin fan was stunned. the system¡­ actually knew how to answer questions? ¡°is it dangerous to enter the river of time?¡± lin fan asked hurriedly. [there¡¯s a certain degree of danger.] ¡°will i die?¡± [no.] ¡°then what kind of danger will i face?¡± [you need to spend 100 spirit stones for the answer.] lin fan did not even think. ¡°i want the answer!¡± now, he was on earth. spirit crystals might be very difficult to obtain. however, it was not difficult to obtain spirit stones¡­ this was because there were many spirit stone mines on earth. instantly, the 100 spirit stones in lin fan¡¯s internal space turned into a beam of light and disappeared. [if you encounter an expert who¡¯s also walking in the river of time, there¡¯s a possibility of being attacked. the river of time allows one¡¯s soul to enter it. normally, one¡¯s soul will be damaged if one is defeated. however, after entering the river of time, the system has a special power to protect the host¡¯s soul. therefore, the soul will not be affected.] when lin fan heard this, he finally calmed down. then, his gaze landed on the entrance of the river of time again. with a slight thought¡­ in the next moment, he felt as if his entire body was being pulled in by a powerful suction force. Chapter 699 - 699 Ant; Born! 699 ant; born! the world spun. the next moment, lin fan appeared in a vast expanse of white space. wisps of mysterious energy revolved around him. lin fan looked around curiously. then, he took a step forward. instantly, the ground beneath his feet began to move up and down violently, and a green path that was several meters wide appeared. it extended into the endless distance. lin fan¡¯s wood laws surged up quickly and were extremely active. the moment lin fan took another step forward, the wood laws became even more active. as he continued to move forward along the green path, lin fan had a feeling that with every step he took, his control over the wood laws would increase by a little. correspondingly, lin fan¡¯s footsteps became heavier and heavier. after walking for 100 meters, he could no longer move forward. however, even so, lin fan¡¯s wood laws had received a significant boost. helpless, lin fan could only take a step to the side and walk out of the green path. instantly, a transparent path that extended into the distance appeared before lin fan. in an instant, his water laws began to become active. just like before, lin fan walked along the transparent path. when he reached the point where he could no longer move forward, he changed to another path. there were the sword path, the earth path, the metal path, the spear path, the life path, the death path, the ying path, and the yang path. when he arrived on the path of the fire element, lin fan did not go far. a loud voice sounded from behind. ¡°you have an ant-like cultivation base, yet you still want to waste time cultivating many laws and cultivation techniques. hmph!¡± a muffled groan rang out like a thunderclap. lin fan could only see a man in fiery red armor flashing past from afar. then, lin fan¡¯s entire body fell out of the river of time. lin fan could not help but heave a sigh of relief. ¡°who is it?¡± [zhu yan. cultivation: unknown. the lord of the fire god palace. because your cultivation is low but you¡¯re cultivating many laws and cultivation techniques, he thinks you¡¯re greedy. he has a bad impression of you. current hatred points: one star.] seeing this¡­ lin fan was shocked at first. his cultivation level was unknown. obviously, this man was very powerful. looking at how the other party thought that he was too greedy and hated him, lin fan¡¯s lips twitched. he could cultivate as many laws and cultivation techniques as he wanted. what did it have to do with him? was he a police officer here? after a while, lin fan finally put this matter aside. he silently felt the vigorous power of laws in his body, as well as the surging energy. a smile that could not be hidden appeared on his face. [host: lin fan] [cultivation: level-nine planet (6.5 billion/10 billion) his experience points had increased by billions. the river of time was indeed impressive! lin fan slowly pushed open the door. han tian, xia xue, xia bing, su ningjing, and the others were all waiting at the door. when they saw lin fan, they said happily, ¡°lin fan, you¡¯re out of seclusion?!¡± seclusion? lin fan was stunned. he seemed to have only walked a few steps in the river of time. it did not take long, right? how did it become seclusion? wait, the river of time? lin fan could not help but ask, ¡°how long has it been?¡± ¡°it¡¯s been half a year,¡± han tian said. lin fan was shocked. as expected of something related to time. he could not feel the flow of time at all. at this moment, chu yunyue walked over and said, ¡°lin fan, you¡¯re out? hurry, hu tian is about to give birth!¡± ¡°really?¡± lin fan said excitedly. then, his spiritual power instantly covered the entire coiling dragon villa. soon, he saw hu tian lying on the bed with a big belly and her face covered in sweat. the life force in hu tian¡¯s stomach was very strong. lin fan could even see the baby¡¯s small hands and calves through his mental power. the child was really about to be born! lin fan did not think too much about why hu tian¡¯s stomach had not changed at all in the past few years. now, after a few months, her belly suddenly grew so big! his figure flashed and arrived beside hu tian. dai weixue was shocked. ¡°lin fan, why did you come in?¡± get out, get out!¡± lin fan held hu tian¡¯s hand and said, ¡°don¡¯t worry. i¡¯m always here.¡± after many years of cultivation, hu tian¡¯s body was no longer ordinary. giving birth was not difficult for her. at this moment, when she saw lin fan¡¯s arrival, hu tian¡¯s pretty face became even more relaxed. ¡°alright!¡± she said with a smile. at this moment, hu tian¡¯s stomach shook. lin fan knew that the child was about to be born. ¡°i¡¯ll wait for you outside.¡±¡± ¡°alright.¡± hu tian maintained her smile. as expected, lin fan had only left the room for a short while when the sound of a baby crying came from inside. ¡°wahhh!¡± the voice was crisp and powerful. the door opened, and dai weixue walked out with a baby in her arms. she said with a smile, ¡°it¡¯s a boy! a very beautiful boy! i¡¯ve never seen such a beautiful boy!¡± beautiful? that was right! the child was beautiful! dai weixue was not exaggerating. this was because this baby was as sparkling as jade. he had big, black, and beautiful eyes, fair skin, and exquisite lips¡­ every part of his body seemed to have been carefully carved by the heavens. dai weixue continued, ¡°furthermore, he started crying the moment he was born. listen, his voice is so loud!¡± ¡°let me carry him, mom,¡± lin xiaoyao said excitedly. ¡°why would it be you?¡± dai weixue said. ¡°let lin fan carry him first.¡± as soon as she finished speaking, she slowly handed the baby in front of lin fan. lin fan carried the baby in his arms. looking at his delicate figure, his face was full of smiles. ¡®i have a son! ¡®i¡¯ve become a father!¡¯ it was a very strange feeling. ¡°call me daddy,¡± lin fan said. ¡°d-daddy.¡± the baby made a very clear sound. ¡°oh my god!¡± dai weixue exclaimed in surprise. ¡®he actually knows how to call you ¡®daddy¡¯! this is so amazing! he¡¯s just born and he¡¯s already saying ¡®daddy¡¯!¡± ¡°prodigy! this is definitely a child prodigy!¡± ¡°hehehe!¡± the baby seemed to know that dai weixue was complimenting him, and his entire face broke into a smile. lin xiaoyao said, ¡°brother, you¡¯ve been carrying him for a while. now it¡¯s my turn. come on, let me carry him.¡± ¡°alright,¡± said lin fan. ¡°be careful, don¡¯t drop the child!¡± dai weixue said seriously. lin xiaoyao was already a cultivator. her control of strength and reaction speed far surpassed that of ordinary people. how could she hurt the child? dai weixue¡¯s concern made her confused. lin xiaoyao looked at the adorable baby and said, ¡°call me ¡®aunt¡¯. be good and call me ¡®aunt¡¯. ¡°don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t recognize me? ¡°come, learn from me. say ¡®aunt¡¯¡­ ¡°aunt¡­¡± however, no matter how lin xiaoyao taught him, the baby only looked at her with a pair of big black eyes and did not say anything. Chapter 700 - 700 Advancement; Domain Lord! 700 advancement; domain lord! time flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed. a delicate and cute little boy was staggering on the ground. he was lin fan¡¯s son, lin chengzhen. his name meant that as long as it was his dream, it could come true. this name undoubtedly showed how much lin fan, hu tian, and the others loved him. lin xiaoyao bent down and picked lin chengzhen up. ¡°chengzhen, be good and call me ¡®aunt¡¯!¡± however, lin chengzhen only looked at lin xiaoyao quietly with his big black eyes, still not speaking. ¡°aunt!¡± lin xiaoyao said tirelessly. ¡°aunt¡­¡± no matter how lin xiaoyao taught him, lin chengzhen never spoke. ¡°what¡¯s going on?¡± lin xiaoyao murmured. ¡°he can greet all the others but why can¡¯t he call me ¡®aunt¡¯?¡± ¡­ in the blink of an eye, another two years passed. on this day, lin fan¡¯s will flickered as he entered the river of time once more. after several years of research, he already knew how to find the laws and cultivation techniques of the river of time. lin fan walked on the death path for another 130 meters before he felt as though there was a huge mountain on his body. he could no longer move forward. ¡°let me try the life path again!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he took a step to the side and quickly moved forward on the main road of the life system. when he walked 112 meters, his footsteps began to slow down. at this moment, a crisp and pleasant voice came from behind. ¡°huh? a planet-level cultivator actually came to the river of time and grasped the laws of life!¡± when lin fan heard that, he turned around. he saw a woman whose face was covered in light behind him. even so, just based on her perfect figure and outstanding temperament, it was enough to judge that she was definitely a beauty. she was a super beauty! ¡°you don¡¯t seem to have lived long!¡± the woman said. ¡°to be exact, you should be younger than 5,000 years old. not bad!¡± after she finished speaking, she continued walking forward. [ding! kathleen has a favorable impression of you. favorability: one star.] [kathleen: goddess of the temple of life. cultivation: unknown. due to your innate talent in the life laws, she have a favorable impression of you. current favorability is one star.] lin fan muttered in his heart, ¡®another unknown cultivation state.¡¯ he raised his head and looked ahead, only to find that kathleen had already disappeared. lin fan did not take it to heart as he continued walking forward along the life path. when he reached 132 meters, lin fan felt like he could not take another step. hence, he switched to the fire-type path. at this moment, another set of footsteps sounded behind him. ¡°it¡¯s you again, you little fellow who¡¯s too ambitious. hmph!¡± the man in red armor grunted and released a sea of fire that engulfed lin fan. lin fan, who was lying on the bed in the coiling dragon villa, opened his eyes suddenly. ¡°it¡¯s the lord of the fire god palace again,¡± he said angrily. after a while, lin fan finally calmed down. he opened the attribute panel. [host: lin fan] [cultivation: level-nine planet (9.9 billion/10 billion) ¡°domain lord level, today!¡± lin fan took out a few spirit crystals and placed them in specific positions around his body. at the same time, lin fan continued to draw talismans in the void, giving off an extremely mysterious aura. on the other hand, the spirit crystals emitted dense spiritual energy. soon, the entire room was covered in a dense fog of spiritual energy. the spirit gathering formation was complete! over the past few years, lin fan had obtained the outline of formations from the system. coupled with his long period of comprehension, he had already possessed an extraordinary ability to create formations. ¡°suck!¡± lin fan took in a deep breath. the surging spiritual energy surged into his body like a tidal wave. two days later, a vast and boundless aura spread out from lin fan. the terrifying pressure was like a tall mountain that floated up into the hearts of all the living beings on earth. then, a golden light shot into the sky, forming a huge cloud tornado in the sky. [ding! congratulations on reaching the domain lord level. you¡¯ve obtained: transcendence golden body, saint stone x1, nine heavens black robe x1.] [transcendence golden body: possesses the same power as the main body. it can fuse with the main body and suddenly gain double the power. after the transcendence golden body dissipates, it will take a day to reform.] merging into the main body and obtaining double the strength? this was definitely a super cultivation technique that could help disguise himself as someone weaker to take down someone strong. [saint stone: a mysterious stone that has the special power to change fate and give birth to powerful creatures.] change fate? it could make him lucky? nurturing creatures? would something jump out of the stone? [nine heavens black robe: an emperor-grade robe. it has a defense that emperor-grade experts cannot break through.] above the universe level was the emperor level! since even a king-level expert could not break through it, lin fan immediately felt a sense of security. with a thought, a white stone, a long robe with a dragon emblem, and a man who looked exactly like lin fan appeared in front of him. lin fan put on the nine heavens black robe and touched it gently. although it had a strong defense, it was still very soft and comfortable to the touch. lin fan and the transcendence golden body nodded at each other before lin fan walked out. xia bing, xia xue, hu tian, su ningjing, huang ling, and the others were all standing at the door. lin fan said, ¡°don¡¯t worry. i just broke through.¡± hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief and was filled with joy. at this moment, lin fan felt something tugging at his pants. he lowered his head and saw that it was his son, lin chengzhen. ¡°daddy¡­ hug¡­¡± lin fan bent down and hugged lin chengzhen in his arms. he smiled and said, ¡°let me see how heavy you¡¯ve gotten now. ¡°ah, you¡¯re very heavy! ¡°but it¡¯s not enough. you have to eat more.¡± ¡°alright,¡± lin chengzhen said. ¡°have you been obedient recently?¡± lin fan asked. ¡°very obedient,¡± lin chengzhen said. not far away, a different voice sounded. ¡°obedient? how is he obedient? he¡¯s so rude. he doesn¡¯t even call me ¡®aunt¡¯!¡± lin xiaoyao said angrily. lin chengzhen said timidly, ¡°a-aunt.¡± when lin xiaoyao heard this, her face immediately bloomed like a flower. ¡°that¡¯s a good boy!¡± she said happily. ¡°wait for me. i¡¯ll prepare something delicious and fun for you later!¡± lin fan smiled. ¡°hurry up and thank aunt.¡± ¡°thank you, aunt,¡± lin chengzhen said. with the addition of a child, the atmosphere in the coiling dragon villa became even more relaxed and blissful. qiu ziqian could not help but touch her flat stomach that still carried a life inside. ¡°ziqian, don¡¯t worry,¡± huang ling comforted her. ¡°you¡¯ll definitely be like hu tian in the future. your belly will get bigger soon, and you¡¯ll give birth to a healthy and cute child.¡± qiu ziqian nodded vigorously. Chapter 701 - 701 Lin Chengzhen Goes to School; Heavenly Eye! 701 lin chengzhen goes to school; heavenly eye! after a few days of happiness, the family came to the path-understanding tree. under lin fan¡¯s explanation of the laws, skills, and cultivation methods, lin xiaoyao, xia xue, xia bing, hu tian, and the others¡¯ cultivation levels were all rising rapidly. xia bing and xia xue had already entered the incarnation realm and had at least tens of thousands of years of lifespan. lin xiaoyao, hu tian, qiu ziqian, huang ling, and the others had all entered the transcendent realm and could live for at least several thousand years. moreover, their cultivation was still steadily increasing. in the short term, they did not have to worry about their lifespan. however, they did not slack off in their cultivation because of this. they understood that only by working hard could they keep up with lin fan¡¯s footsteps. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, another three years had passed. lin fan relied on his continuous cultivation and comprehension to obtain a large amount of experience points. even though he had yet to break through to level-two of the domain lord, he had also taken a big step forward. in these three years, the system had rewarded lin fan with the protection pearl (emperor), heaven and earth enlightenment x2, shifting shadow saint technique (emperor grade), xuanhuang breathing technique¡­ today, lin fan, xia xue, xia bing, qiu ziqian, and everyone else stopped cultivating and ate a sumptuous family banquet. today was the day lin chengzhen officially went to school. with lin fan¡¯s current strength and influence, he could easily invite the best teachers in the world. however, he still decided to let lin chengzhen go to school and make friends like a normal child. lin fan felt that this was something that children had to experience. otherwise, there would be regrets in life. ¡°chengzhen, don¡¯t be afraid in school,¡± lin xiaoyao said. ¡°if anyone bullies you, tell me! i¡¯ll definitely teach them a lesson!¡± ¡°it¡¯s a little difficult for others to bully chengzhen,¡± said chu yunyue with a smile. chu yunyue was absolutely not spouting nonsense. one had to know¡­ lin chengzhen had lived in the coiling dragon villa, which was filled with spiritual energy, since he was young. moreover, he was often personally guided by lin fan. now, his cultivation had reached the hundred destruction realm. on earth, there were very few people who were his match. furthermore, lin fan had also given the protection pearl to lin chengzhen. it was no exaggeration to say that even if the earth shattered, lin chengzhen would not be hurt at all. under such circumstances, how could anyone bully lin chengzhen? furthermore, lin fan¡¯s spiritual power could easily cover the entire earth. that was why lin chengzhen would not get bullied. chu yunyue bent over and smiled. ¡°lil chengzhen, don¡¯t bully others. of course, if someone provokes you, don¡¯t hold back.¡± ¡°lil chengzhen, be careful.¡± xia xue said, ¡°lil chengzhen, good luck!¡± ¡°lil chengzhen, you can do it!¡± xia bing said. ¡­ lin chengzhen¡¯s bright black eyes stared at lin fan, hu tian, chu yunyue, lin xiaoyao, and everyone else for two seconds before he said in a strong and serious tone, ¡°daddy, mommy, second mother, third mother, fourth mother¡­ aunt, don¡¯t worry, i¡¯ll be careful!¡± then, he turned around and boarded the aircraft, heading straight for the school dozens of kilometers away. although everyone knew that lin chengzhen would definitely not be in danger, they still could not help but look at the flying device¡¯s shadow as it left. it was lin fan who said, ¡°don¡¯t worry, i¡¯ll take care of him.¡± when everyone heard this, they retracted their gazes. ¡­ jiangbei first primary school. when the children arrived at the classroom, they chattered non-stop like sparrows, looking very excited. lin chengzhen was silent. he quietly took out a pen and paper and prepared for class. at this moment, a little boy with a buzz cut walked in from outside and jumped onto the podium, stirring up a strong wind. this action shocked all the students in the classroom. the little boy did not care at all. he put his hands in his pockets, glanced at the students, and said coolly, ¡°my name is li hao. from today onward, i¡¯m your boss!¡± the students blinked, still at a loss. li hao said again, ¡°in the future¡­ if anyone is in trouble, you can look for me!¡± then, he jumped off the podium, not caring whether the students understood him or not. however, li hao soon faced his nightmare. ¡°boss, i didn¡¯t bring toilet paper!¡± ¡°boss, i don¡¯t know how to do my homework.¡± ¡°boss, help me with my homework.¡± ¡°boss, my dad hit me!¡± ¡­ ¡°from today onward, i¡¯m not the boss anymore. don¡¯t look for me in the future!¡± ¡­ in the blink of an eye, several years passed. on this day, a powerful aura burst forth from lin fan¡¯s body. he let out a long sigh. ¡°finally, i¡¯ve reached level-three domain lord.¡± at this moment, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, it¡¯s been 30 years since you¡¯ve obtained the advanced system. you¡¯re rewarded with the eye of heaven, transcendence golden body x1, immortal crystal x1.] [eye of heaven: able to see other people¡¯s attacks and weaknesses in advance. it¡¯s a very magical skill.] seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s eyes lit up as he praised sincerely, ¡°as expected of the eye of heaven. it¡¯s simply a cheat! but i like it.¡± his eyes flickered with a faint golden light, as if he had the power to see through everything. then, a transcendence golden body that looked exactly like him appeared in front of lin fan. the two of them nodded at each other. finally, lin fan willed it out, and a white immortal crystal appeared before him. an extremely dense and pure energy that he had never experienced before instantly swept through the entire room. lin fan used the xuanhuang breathing technique to take in a deep breath. instantly, a large amount of energy surged within his body. this breath actually exceeded the energy he had gained from circulating the breathing technique a dozen times before! lin fan could not help but praise, ¡°there¡¯s such pure spiritual energy in the immortal crystal!¡± he was more confident in protecting his family and living a long and happy life with them in the future. however, before lin fan could celebrate for too long, the earth, which had been peaceful for a long time, suddenly let out a huge sound. at the same time, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! domain lord level detected.] [xing yu: level-two domain lord. a core disciple of the sky thunder sect. he accidentally discovered the stone sized earth and thought it was a rare treasure, hence his greed.] lin fan raised his head slowly and saw a two-meter-tall man wielding a huge blade. he was looking at earth greedily. then, he raised his saber again and slashed at the earth. there was another loud noise. xia bing, xia xue, hu tian, su ningjing, and the others, who were cultivating peacefully, stopped and looked around with worried eyes. lin fan said, ¡°don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll return to normal soon.¡± after saying that, he leaped and turned into a stream of light, instantly breaking through the clouds. Chapter 702 - 702 Killing the Enemy With a Single Finger; Curse 702 killing the enemy with a single finger; curse xing yu¡¯s body froze as he looked at lin fan warily. after all, lin fan had suddenly appeared in the chaosverse. this meant that he was at least in the planet level. this needed to be handled carefully. otherwise, it would be very easy to fail miserably. ¡°i¡¯m xing yu, a disciple of the sky thunder sect. how should i address you?¡± xing yu asked. ¡°lin fan,¡± lin fan said. xing yu frowned. lin fan¡¯s self-introduction was too short. it was a little disrespectful. [ding! xing yu¡¯s hatred toward you is one star.] lin fan raised his brows and looked at xing yu with an even more hostile gaze. attacking earth and even generating hatred points toward him¡­ this guy was walking on a narrow path. xing yu said, ¡°i wonder why you¡¯re here, lin fan?¡± lin fan said, ¡°xing yu, let¡¯s not beat about the bush. the rock you just attacked was the planet i was on. ¡°it¡¯s just that i used a special technique to shrink and defend it. don¡¯t attack anymore, or you¡¯ll be an enemy of my planet.¡± xing yu said in a doubtful tone, ¡°is that a planet?¡± he had never seen or heard of a planet that could shrink and possess such powerful defense. lin fan nodded. ¡°that¡¯s right.¡± xing yu¡¯s eyes darted around. ¡°so, it¡¯s your planet. i didn¡¯t know about it before, so i was rude.¡± after a pause, he said in a very friendly tone, ¡°lin fan, i wonder if i can visit your planet?¡± he did not believe that this rock with a strong defense was a planet. in his opinion, this was very likely a mysterious forbidden land or a magic treasure with spatial power. of course, even if it was really a planet, it would definitely have a huge secret and a huge opportunity! xing yu¡¯s idea was simple. as long as he entered, he would be able to take it for himself. lin fan shook his head. ¡°our planet is weak. that¡¯s why we¡¯ve always been in a sealed state. we don¡¯t allow outsiders to enter.¡± xing yu frowned and said, ¡°lin fan, are you looking down on me?¡± at the same time, he was more and more certain that there was a big secret in this stone. the greed in his eyes when he looked at earth grew even more intense. the way he looked at lin fan became even more unfriendly. xing yu thought to himself, ¡®if this rock is really lin fan¡¯s planet, then if i kill him or capture him, will i be able to enter it?¡± once this thought appeared, it was like burning gasoline. it burned more and more vigorously. from the moment he saw lin fan, he had been sizing up lin fan¡¯s cultivation. by now, xing yu was certain that lin fan¡¯s cultivation state was about the same as his. he had many tricks up his sleeves and was confident that he could defeat or even kill lin fan. [ding! xing yu¡¯s hatred toward you has increased to five stars.] lin fan raised his brows and did not say anything else. he stared at xing yu with his eye of heaven. in an instant¡­ all of xing yu¡¯s attacks, weaknesses, defense, treasures, and even his life-saving techniques appeared in lin fan¡¯s mind. lin fan raised his hand and pointed. golden light burst forth from his finger, and thousands of terrifying energy forces burst forth like a tidal wave, drowning xing yu in an instant. in the blink of an eye, xing yu and everything within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers were reduced to nothingness. ¡°heaven piercing finger!¡± [ding! your enemy, xing yu, is dead.] with one finger, he instantly killed a domain lord! this was the lin fan of today. this was how strong he was! [ding! you¡¯ve killed a level-one domain lord cultivator. you¡¯ve gained ten million experience.] [ding! congratulations, you¡¯re the first to kill a domain lord cultivator. you¡¯ve received a transcendence golden body x1 and top grade fire cultivation talent.] lin fan could feel a pure energy surging into his limbs. following that, his affinity with the fire laws became even greater. lin fan and the transcendence golden body that had just formed looked at each other and smiled. in other words, while earth was in trouble, he had gained a lot of benefits. lin fan was in a good mood as he leaped up and returned to earth. he said to hu tian, xia bing, xia xue, su ningjing, han tian, and the others who were standing in the coiling dragon villa, ¡°it¡¯s fine now.¡± hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. then, they began to cultivate even more attentively. they believed that lin fan was strong enough, and they admired and liked him. however, they did not want lin fan to be the one to solve every problem. they wanted to help lin fan. ¡­ on a distant planet. in a towering building filled with spiritual energy, a man with sword-like eyebrows suddenly opened his eyes. his entire face was filled with endless anger. ¡°what? xing yu is dead?¡± ¡°who? who killed him?!¡± this man was xing baokun, the peak master of sky thunder sect¡¯s flying peak and xing yu¡¯s father. xing baokun had doted on xing yu since he was young. when he discovered xing yu¡¯s talent in cultivation, he spent a great deal of effort on him. but now¡­ xing yu was dead! how could this not anger xing baokun? ¡°investigate! investigate xing yu¡¯s whereabouts and the people who have a grudge against him! i want to know who killed him!¡± his voice reverberated around the mountain, causing the entire mountain to shake. at the same time, all the disciples of the sect were shocked. all the disciples knew how much xing baokun loved xing yu. the sky had collapsed! ¡­ at this moment, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! xing baokun¡¯s hatred toward you is seven stars.] when lin fan heard this, his brows twitched. seven-star hatred, this was definitely a huge enemy. [xing baokun: level-two universe cultivator. the peak master of sky thunder sect¡¯s flying peak. because you killed his son and disciple xing yu, he has developed a great hatred for you.] so it was xing yu¡¯s father. no wonder. level-two universe cultivator! even though lin fan had the eye of heaven and many other powerful skills, he still felt that he was no match for him. the difference in cultivation between the two was simply too great. he had to think of a way to save himself. lin fan quickly turned his attention back to curse. [do you want to use 10,000 spirit stones to curse xing baokun?] ¡°yes!¡± however, there was no notification of xing baokun being cursed in lin fan¡¯s mind. perhaps the other party was too powerful. hence, lin fan was prepared to curse xing baokun even harder. however, at this moment, a notification sounded in his mind. [curse can only be used once a day.] seeing this¡­ lin fan could only give up for now. from now on, he was prepared to curse xing baokun every day until he died. death was the best ending for the enemy. Chapter 703 - 703 Constantly Cursing; Demonic Sense 703 constantly cursing; demonic sense time flowed like water. in the blink of an eye, a year had passed. lin fan had just spent 10,000 spirit stones to curse xing baokun for the day. at this moment, a crisp notification suddenly sounded in his mind. [ding! your enemy, xing baokun, has demonic thoughts because of your curse.] when lin fan heard that, he smiled and said, ¡°it¡¯s finally working. i didn¡¯t curse him for an entire year in vain. however, he only has demonic thoughts. i still have to work harder!¡± ¡­ on a distant planet, on the flying peak of the sky thunder sect¡­ xing baokun, who had been in a state of cultivation, suddenly burst out with a cold and fierce force. like a ferocious beast, he directly tore the servant beside him into pieces. bright red blood splattered everywhere. xing baokun opened his eyes, and they were bloodshot. after taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down and said, ¡°what exactly happened? why did i suddenly become so irritable? ¡°is there a problem with the cultivation technique?¡± he thought for a moment and began to change his cultivation technique. however, not long after, a sharp force burst out of his body and pierced a huge hole in the roof. the commotion here attracted the attention of many people on the flying peak. they hurried in. ¡°master, what happened?¡± ¡°master, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡­ everyone asked. xing baokun completely ignored the crowd as he leaped out of the hole and directly arrived in front of the sky thunder sect¡¯s master, lu qinghong. he told him about his situation. when lu qinghong heard this, he stretched out his hand to sense xing baokun¡¯s physical condition. soon, he frowned. ¡°your aura is so restless¡­¡± he thought for a moment and said, ¡°let¡¯s go and consult the grand elder.¡± thus, the two of them turned into streams of light and arrived at a tall tower. ¡°greetings, grand elder.¡± the white-haired grand elder, who had been resting with his eyes closed, did not even lift his eyelids. he said, ¡°what is it?¡± xing baokun explained his situation again. when the grand elder heard this, he first sensed it. then, his hands continued to pinch. ¡°have you made any enemies with anyone recently?¡± xing baokun thought for a moment and said, ¡°not in a hundred years.¡± he had killed many servants and ordinary people in the past hundred years. however, in xing baokun¡¯s opinion, this was not a grudge. this was because servants and ordinary people were not considered humans at all. the grand elder said, ¡°you¡¯ve been cursed. moreover, it¡¯s a relatively powerful curse. if you want to solve it, you have to find the person who cursed you. before that, you have to use your own energy to resist the curse.¡± after xing baokun returned to the flying peak, he sorted out all his enemies in his mind. he realized that his enemies were either dead or did not know how to curse. who was cursing him? strange! xing baokun was confused. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, three years had passed. ¡°master, the last time senior brother xing yu was seen was at 14567-23412, southeast of the spring region. also, according to our intelligence, someone saw a terrifying battle nearby.¡± a loud voice sounded outside the mountain. xing baokun¡¯s eyes shot out a scarlet light, and he let out a deep, beast-like voice. ¡°xing yu! it must be the person who killed xing yu! he¡¯s the one cursing me!¡± xing baokun had already entered a state of madness. anyone who had a grudge against him, he felt that the other party was cursing him. because of this, he had caused millions of killings in the past three years. this time, he did not know that he had accidentally guessed it right and found the root of the problem. ¡­ on the other hand, on earth. [host: lin fan] [cultivation: level-six domain lord (8.9 billion/1 trillion)] [skills: sword 81 (ordinary), curse spell (emperor), sword nurturing technique (emperor), cosmos sword technique (emperor)¡­] [equipment: star meteorite sword (ordinary), flame armor (emperor), heavenly soul bead (emperor), true dragon sword (emperor)¡­] [laws: time (elementary), space (intermediate), metal (intermediate), wood (intermediate), water (intermediate), fire (intermediate), earth (intermediate), life (intermediate), death (elementary), yin (elementary), yang (elementary), wind (elementary)] [character relationship:] [lin tao: daddy; favorability: ten stars] [dai weixue: mom; favorability:ten stars] [lin xiaoyao: sister; favorability: ten stars] [xia xue: dao companion; favorability: ten stars] [xia bing, dao companion; favorability: ten stars] lin fan looked at his status panel and sighed. ¡°in three years, my cultivation has only increased by three small realms. it¡¯s too slow.¡± slow? if others knew about this, who knew what kind of expression they would have. one had to know¡­ lin fan¡¯s increase of three small realms was not the small realm of kill hundred or fight 1,000. it was the domain lord level! which domain lord-level warrior would not need thousands of years to break through a small realm? lin fan had only used three years and he thought that it was too slow? [ding! congratulations, it¡¯s been 34 years since you¡¯ve owned the advanced system. you¡¯ve received one immortal crystal, one basic rule upgrade gem, and one transcendence golden body.] lin fan looked at the immortal crystal that was filled with dense spirit energy and the transcendence golden body that looked just like him. the corners of his mouth curled up as he said, ¡°with another immortal crystal, my cultivation speed should be able to increase a little more.¡± in the past three years, lin fan had already obtained two immortal crystals, causing the spiritual energy in the coiling dragon villa to reach an unimaginable level. this was also one of the reasons why he had successfully broken through three minor realms in a short three years. then, lin fan placed his attention on the beginner rule upgrade gem. [do you want to use the beginner rule upgrade gem on death laws?] ¡°yes!¡± instantly, lin fan¡¯s body was surrounded by a black aura. after a while, the black gas dissipated. lin fan had a deeper understanding of death laws now. he walked out of the room in a good mood. ¡°lin fan, the spiritual energy seems to have increased again?¡± ¡°yes,¡± lin fan said. when the women heard this, they became even happier. with the increase in spiritual energy, their cultivation speed would also increase. now, xia bing¡¯s and xia xue¡¯s cultivation had already reached the first level of the planet realm. the rest of them had all reached the incarnation realm! their strength could already compete with many planets directly. they could be said to be powerful. lin fan said, ¡°today, i¡¯ll talk about death laws.¡± death was extremely cold and terrifying. at the same time, it was also a very powerful power of laws. lin fan explained from the beginning to the end. the women listened very seriously. a week later, all the women had their own understanding of death laws. just as lin fan was about to go deeper, a crisp notification sounded out in his mind. [ding! level-two universe cultivator detected.] Chapter 704 - 704 Annihilation; Mythical Defense Array 704 annihilation; mythical defense array lin fan¡¯s lecture on the death laws suddenly stopped. as his cultivation state increased, lin fan gained a deeper understanding of higher states. the second-level universe realm was an extremely terrifying realm. [xing baokun: universe level 2 cultivator, sky thunder sect¡¯s flying peak master. because you killed his son and disciple xing yu, he has a huge hatred towards you. current hatred points: 8 stars.] seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s heart skipped a beat,¡±so it¡¯s him.¡±¡± all these years, lin fan had been cursing him almost every single day. not only had he given birth to a demonic thought, but he had also caused his soul to be on the verge of collapse. lin fan raised his head slowly and used his heaven¡¯s eye to look at the thick clouds. at this moment, a group of cultivators was flying not far from earth. the person in the lead had slightly messy hair and emitted an evil aura. he¡­ it was xing baokun! under the observation of the eyes of heaven, xing baokun¡¯s attacks, weaknesses, and other data all appeared in lin fan¡¯s mind. very quickly, lin fan retracted his gaze, revealing a strange look on his face. because, according to the observation of the eye of heaven. one move! right now, he only needed one move to kill xing baokun. it was as easy as slaughtering a chicken. ¡­. xing baokun, who was standing in the air, said sternly,¡±yu ¡®er went missing around here?¡± ¡°sir, i did see xing yu around here. later, a terrifying battle broke out here, and i was almost caught up in it.¡±a short and thin man said in panic. xing baokun looked around, but he did not find anything. he was furious. he waved his palms wildly in all directions. it covered the sky and covered the sun, and the world was in turmoil. the few planets in the distance exploded like fireworks after being hit. hundreds of thousands of kilometers in radius turned into nothingness in an instant. except¡­a stone. ¡°phew!¡± ¡°damn it!¡± xing yu shouted after waving his palm.¡± then, he turned to leave. in the next moment, he suddenly noticed that there was still a stone left in the void after being attacked by him. he frowned slightly and said,¡±what is this?¡± one had to know¡­ xing baokun was a universe level 2 super warrior. how vast was his attack? with his full strength, he could easily turn hundreds of thousands of miles into nothingness. however, the stone in front of him was still intact. something was strange! xing baokun used his spiritual power to wrap around the rock, but it was blocked by a layer of strong membrane on the surface. this attracted xing baokun¡¯s attention once again. with a slight thought, he took out a large golden blade and slashed at the stone. the mighty saber aura was like a world-destroying storm that smashed the stone¡­as well as tens of thousands of kilometers around the stone, it was completely submerged. a moment later, the blade energy dissipated, but the stone was still intact. ¡­. ¡°rumble!¡± after the earth suffered two attacks, there was a loud noise and many places had slight earthquakes. lin fan knew that he couldn¡¯t wait any longer. ¡°i¡¯ll go settle it.¡± after saying that, he disappeared from the coiling dragon villa. in the next moment, he appeared in front of xing baokun. without waiting for xing baokun to speak, lin fan pointed out with his finger. a golden finger that looked like the sun appeared in the air. the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as the intense power of death, were mixed and burned in the golden finger, and they crushed toward xing baokun. xing baokun and everyone around him were crushed into nothingness like ants. it was as if they had never been here before. it was a killing move! that was because lin fan knew very well that there was no possibility of reconciliation between him and xing baokun. since that was the case, why waste so much effort? as for the others¡­since he had chosen to be with xing baokun, he had to bear the consequences of his choice. lin fan was not in the mood to choose whether they would help xing baokun or whether they would leak information about him and earth. dead people were the safest. [ding! killed universe level 2 cultivator, obtained 200 million experience points.] [ding! killed a planet realm sixth layer cultivator. obtained 60,000 experience points.] [ding! killed stellar level 5 cultivator. obtained 500,000 experience points.] ¡­. [ding! congratulations, you have killed the first universe-level cultivator. you have received a top-notch metal-type talent, mystic spirit protection array (emperor level), transcendence golden body x1.] the surging energy kept surging. lin fan¡¯s entire being had a deeper affinity with the laws of metal. at the same time, an extremely wondrous defensive array technique appeared in his mind. seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s lips curled up,¡± it can raise the earth¡¯s defense again. not bad!¡±¡± his figure flashed and he returned to the coiling dragon villa. first, he said to han tian, su ningjing, and the others,¡±it¡¯s fine now.¡± then, he took out spiritual crystals, spiritual stones, and many other treasures. he arranged them in a specific way and kept writing and carving in the void. after a full five days, the mythical defense array was successfully set up! ¡°buzz!¡± at this moment, all the living beings on earth felt a sense of security. ¡­. jiangbei city. ¡°lin cheng zhen, do you know about the forbidden area?¡± li hao asked.¡± ¡°i know.¡± lin chengzhen nodded.¡± ¡°i found a very special forbidden area. how about we go in and explore it together?¡±li hao said. ¡°not interested,¡± lin chengzhen replied. his words were very decisive. that was because he did know about the forbidden area. there was sufficient spiritual energy inside, as well as some spiritual stones, spiritual fruits, and mutated beasts. this was very attractive to ordinary people. however, to lin chengzhen, it was like a billionaire knowing that there might be a few cents in the garbage dump. he was not interested at all. that¡¯s right! that was it! that was because lin chengzhen¡¯s home was in the coiling dragon villa. the spiritual energy there was countless times more than in the forbidden area. as for spirit stones and spirit fruits, they were piled up like mountains in the coiling dragon villa. as for the mutated beasts¡­in the coiling dragon villa, there was the most powerful exotic beast¡­heavenly hound! li hao didn¡¯t expect lin cheng to reject him so quickly. he was slightly stunned. ¡°don¡¯t!¡± ¡°lin chengzhen, do you want to live like this for the rest of your life?¡± ¡°don¡¯t you want to be everyone¡¯s hero?¡± ¡°don¡¯t you want to hug your beautiful sister to sleep when you grow up?¡± ¡°don¡¯t you want dad and mom to be proud of us?¡± although li hao was only a ten-year-old child. however, it had to be said that his ability to draw a pie was really good. however, what about becoming a hero and hugging a beautiful sister to sleep¡­lin chengzhen was not interested at all. lin chengzhen¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he heard that his parents were proud of him. all these years, wasn¡¯t what he wanted to see the most the approval of his parents? p.s. welcome to my final book, super red envelope immortals. Chapter 705 - 705 Life Path; Second Baby! 705 life path; second baby! lin chengzhen pondered for a moment. ¡°is that forbidden area really special?¡± li hao knew that lin chengzhen was interested and immediately said, ¡°i can guarantee it! it¡¯s definitely special!¡± after saying that, he put his hand on lin chengzhen¡¯s shoulder and strode away. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. in the coiling dragon villa. suddenly, someone knocked on the door. when lin fan heard that, he opened his eyes and saw hu tian outside. he could not help but feel puzzled. ¡®they wouldn¡¯t disturb me when i¡¯m cultivating. ¡®did something happen?¡¯ lin fan¡¯s figure flashed and appeared in front of hu tian. he asked, ¡°did something happen?¡± ¡°chengzhen is gone,¡± hu tian said. her voice was filled with worry. hu tian did not want to disturb lin fan¡¯s cultivation. however, lin chengzhen had not gone to school or come home for half a month. he was not answering his calls, and they could not locate it. it was as if he had disappeared. how could hu tian not be anxious? when lin fan heard this, his mind power that was like a tidal wave immediately covered the entire earth. soon, he saw two teenagers being chased by thousands of strange beasts in a cave. one of the youths was lin chengzhen! ¡°is this the special secret realm you mentioned?¡± lin chengzhen asked. li hao stammered, ¡°this¡­ there are so many exotic beasts. isn¡¯t this special? see if you can find another place with so many exotic beasts to train at?¡± when he relaxed, a wolf-like exotic beast almost grabbed his back. he was so scared that he sped up again. ¡°run!¡± ¡­ seeing this, lin fan retracted his spirit energy slowly. ¡°don¡¯t worry, chengzhen is fine. he¡¯ll be back in a few days.¡± with lin fan¡¯s current strength, all he needed to do was to blow out a single breath and he would be able to turn those thousands of beasts into ashes. however, he did not do that. that was because lin chengzhen had the heavenly protection pearl on him. on the entire earth, other than lin fan, no one else could hurt lin chengzhen. not to mention thousands of exotic beasts. he could use these thousands of exotic beasts to train lin chengzhen a little. when hu tian heard lin fan¡¯s answer, she immediately felt at ease. as long as lin fan said it, lin chengzhen would definitely be fine. ¡­ summer region, sky thunder star¡¯s life tablet hall. many important disciples, elders, and others used special methods to refine memorial tablets here. once a memorial tablet broke, it meant that the other party was dead. a crisp sound rang out in the originally calm life tablet hall. a disciple hurried over. when he saw that the broken memorial tablet contained xing baokun¡¯s name, his pupils constricted as he quickly ran out. this matter very quickly alarmed the entire sky thunder sect. the sky thunder sect was without a doubt the most powerful faction on the sky thunder planet. in fact, it was also a famous major faction in the entire summer region. the universe level was extremely precious to the sect. a few years ago, when xing baokun was cursed, sect master lu qinghong had predicted this outcome. now that his memorial tablet was broken, it was within expectations. lu qinghong held a grand funeral for xing baokun. at the same time, he publicly announced that he would investigate xing baokun¡¯s death at all costs and avenge him. however, there was not a single mission to investigate xing baokun¡¯s death in the mission hall of the sky thunder sect. all of a sudden, the discussion regarding xing baokun¡¯s death was in full swing in the sky thunder sect. there were very few people who actually investigated. this was also the result that lu qinghong wanted to see. that was because he did not know how powerful the person who killed and cursed xing baokun was, nor did he know how powerful the force behind that person was. after all, that was a curse that even the grand elder was helpless against. ¡­ time flowed like water. in the blink of an eye, ten years had passed. in the past ten years, lin fan had obtained a total of six immortal crystals from the system. he also received top-notch water law talent, two beginner rule upgrade gems, two transcendence golden bodies, and three emperor-grade equipment. with these treasures and his hard work, his cultivation level had reached level-nine domain lord, just a step away from the universe level. at the same time, his yin laws and yang laws had both reached the intermediate level. lin fan willed himself and entered the river of time once more. he walked on the yin path, yang path, space path, and other paths, comprehending them for a while. then, he switched to the life path. right now, lin fan¡¯s speed on the path of the life element was clearly much easier. when he reached 200 meters, lin fan was already struggling. ¡°huh? you can walk that far?¡± a crisp voice rang out behind him. when lin fan heard that, he turned around. it was kathleen, whom he had met on the life path previously. lin fan did not know if it was because of the increase in his cultivation state or because he had obtained heavenly eye, but he could now see kathleen¡¯s face clearly. it was an exquisite and flawless face. with just a glance, he was unable to extricate himself. ¡°you have a pretty good innate talent in the life element. what¡¯s your name?¡± kathleen asked. ¡°lin fan.¡± lin fan did not hide his name. there was no need. ¡°lin fan?¡± kathleen repeated. ¡°i have some ways to use the laws of life here. you can practice them.¡± she pointed at lin fan. lin fan wanted to dodge, but it was too late. in an instant, all sorts of cultivation techniques related to the life laws appeared in lin fan¡¯s mind. it was extremely mystical. lin fan said, ¡°thank you.¡± ¡°it¡¯s just a casual act,¡± kathleen said. ¡°i look forward to your achievements in the life laws.¡± after saying that, she continued walking forward. after lin fan had comprehended the life attribute skill, the pressure around him had decreased by quite a bit. thus, he continued to walk forward for another ten meters and retreated from the river of time. lin fan heaved out a sigh of relief. the energy in his body had increased again. at this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door. huang ling, su ningjing, and the others ran over anxiously. lin fan¡¯s face was filled with doubt. with a flash, he appeared right in front of them and asked, ¡°what happened?¡± as he spoke, he raised his head¡­ he used heavenly eye to look up into the sky, but he did not find anything unusual. ¡°ziqian is going to give birth!¡± huang ling said. she was going to give birth! hu tian took three years to give birth to lin chengzhen. although qiu ziqian was pregnant, her stomach had not grown. in the past ten years, everyone had often comforted her. now, she was finally going to give birth. lin fan¡¯s mind power surged out like a tide. soon, he locked onto a bedroom in a villa at the back. at this moment, qiu ziqian was lying on the bed with a round belly. she was really going to give birth! lin fan¡¯s body flashed and he appeared beside qiu ziqian. when qiu ziqian saw him, a blissful smile appeared on her face. she said softly, ¡°lin fan, our baby is about to be born.¡± lin fan said, ¡°it¡¯s been hard on you.¡± Chapter 706 - 706 Reincarnation of the Immortal Phoenix; Abandon Mission! 706 reincarnation of the immortal phoenix; abandon mission! ¡°lin fan, when did you come in?¡± dai weixue scolded. ¡°get out, get out!¡± as she spoke, she kept pushing lin fan out. lin fan bent down and kissed qiu ziqian¡¯s forehead. ¡°i¡¯ll wait for you outside.¡± ¡°alright,¡± qiu ziqian replied. not long after lin fan arrived outside¡­ thick clouds suddenly gathered from afar. they covered the sky. the entire world instantly darkened. it was like nighttime. in the next moment¡­ a huge hole appeared in the clouds, as if the sky had broken. dazzling golden light shot down from the hole, illuminating the entire villa in a golden and bright color. it emitted a holy and auspicious aura. a melodious phoenix cry could be heard from the golden light. [ding! immortal phoenix reincarnation detected.] [immortal phoenix. cultivation: unknown. because they were attacked by an enemy, they had no choice but to choose a wisp of their soul to escape. they have chosen to reincarnate.] when lin fan heard that, he raised his brows and said hurriedly, ¡°can i stop him from reincarnating?¡± [it costs 10,000 spirit stones. do you wish to proceed?] ¡°can i ask a question?¡± [yes!] ¡°will the child be affected after we stop it?¡± [the child will die.] lin fan could not help but hesitate. for more than ten years, qiu ziqian had been looking forward to the birth of her child. if she gave birth to a dead baby, how sad would she be? lin fan continued, ¡°after the child is born, will he have the memories of the immortal phoenix? or will the child be influenced by the immortal phoenix?¡± [the answer costs 10,000 spirit stones. do you wish to proceed?] ¡°yes!¡± [before the child¡¯s cultivation reaches the emperor level, they will not have the memories of the immortal phoenix, nor will they be affected.] only when the child reached the emperor level would their past memories awaken! as expected, the immortal phoenix was very strong. when lin fan heard that, he heaved a sigh of relief. for the time being, the child would be fine. at this moment, a loud baby¡¯s cry came from the villa, echoing in the entire villa. then, dai weixue carried a cute and nimble little girl who was as clear as jade and walked out quickly. the rhythm of her breathing was very strange. the surrounding spiritual energy formed a spiral and quickly surged into her body. this was a mysterious breathing technique. then, the little girl grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. the little girl only stopped growing when she was close to a meter tall. this change surprised everyone around. dai weixue stuttered a little and said, ¡°this¡­ this¡­¡± lin fan smiled and said, ¡°seems like we don¡¯t have to worry much in the future.¡± dai weixue saw lin fan¡¯s relaxed tone and felt relieved. ¡°yulian, call me ¡®grandma¡¯,¡± she said kindly. ¡°g-grandma¡­¡± lin yulian blinked her big eyes and then let out a crisp and pleasant voice. when dai weixue heard this, she immediately broke into a smile. ¡°hehehe, our yulian is so obedient!¡± she only asked tentatively, but she did not expect lin yulian to really call her that. ¡°yulian, call me ¡®aunt¡¯!¡± lin xiaoyao hurriedly said. ¡°aunt!¡± lin yulian¡¯s voice was even louder and clearer. ¡°good child!¡± lin xiaoyao said happily. ¡°yulian is so obedient! you¡¯re much better than your brother! if you want something fun or delicious, just say it! i¡¯ll buy it all for you.¡± ¡°call me ¡®daddy¡¯,¡± lin fan said. ¡°daddy!¡± lin yulian said. ¡°good girl.¡± lin fan smiled and patted her head. then, hu tian, xia xue, xia bing, su ningjing¡­ also asked lin yulian to call out to them. lin yulian kept shouting, making everyone extremely happy. the entire coiling dragon villa was enveloped in joy. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, three years had passed. ¡°yulian, it¡¯s time to eat!¡± ¡°coming!¡± a little girl about 1.4 meters tall jogged over. it was lin yulian. at the age of three, she was already 1.4 meters tall. she already had a slim and elegant appearance. lin fan, hu tian, xia bing, xia xue, su ningjing, and the rest of the family were all gathered together. it was extremely warm. after she ate her fill, a little bird flew over the treetops, attracting lin yulian¡¯s attention. ¡°yulian, do you want to fly like a bird?¡± lin chengzhen asked. lin yulian¡¯s big eyes immediately shone like gems. ¡°yes!¡± she said excitedly. lin chengzhen finally found his purpose as her brother and said happily, ¡°alright, i¡¯ll teach you. ¡°let me teach you a flying technique first¡­ ¡°according to the qi method, inject energy into your legs. after which, slowly rise¡­¡± as he spoke, he circulated his energy, and his entire body soared. ¡°yulian, you see¡­¡± however, before lin chengzhen could finish, his eyes widened. lin yulian was already flying in the air. she was moving up, down, left, and right in the air. she was light and agile. then, she sped up and shot into the distance, raising a gust of wind that made lin chengzhen¡¯s clothes and hair rustle. ¡°like this, brother?¡± lin yulian asked happily. ¡°it¡¯s so fun! i¡¯m flying so fast!¡± a layer of cold sweat appeared on lin chengzhen¡¯s forehead as he stuttered, ¡°yes¡­ just like that¡­¡± although he had been practicing flying movement techniques for some time, he was still unable to do it as easily and freely as lin yulian. in other words, his sister had surpassed him as soon as she started cultivating. as an elder brother, he really could not bear to face the others. not far away, lin fan, hu tian, su ningjing, xia bing, xia xue, and the others looked at lin yulian¡¯s happy appearance and lin chengzhen¡¯s embarrassed appearance. they laughed out loud. at this moment, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! mission: enter the bloodbath world. reward: transcendence golden body x1, god-slaying sword (emperor), immortal crystal x1, ten billion experience points.] lin fan chose to ignore it. he had entered secret realms before, such as the heavenly wind world. lin fan had obtained some spiritual fruits and equipment in the heavenly wind world. to an ordinary person, this was considered a bountiful harvest. to lin fan, however, it was nothing. furthermore, lin fan had never heard of the bloodbath world before. if he entered it, he might have to spend quite some time inside. with this time, lin fan might as well stay at home and cultivate. ¡­ time passed like water, and two years passed in a flash. on this day, lin fan heard another crisp notification in his mind. [ding! you¡¯ve chosen to abandon the mission¡ªenter the bloodbath world. you¡¯ve obtained transcendence golden body x1, immortal crystal x1, fire spirit crystal x1, ten billion experience points.] the energy surged into lin fan¡¯s body. lin fan looked at the transcendence golden body in front of him, the immortal crystals that were filled with pure energy, and the fire spirit crystal that was emitting a scorching heat. his face revealed a strange look. in other words¡­ even if he did not complete the mission, he could still receive rewards? moreover, the rewards were no worse than the rewards for completing the mission! Chapter 707 - 707 Great Dao Fragments; Stone Spirit Transformation 707 great dao fragments; stone spirit transformation lin fan had never thought that he could get rewards if he gave up a mission. these gains were simply free. it was the happiest thing to pick up something for free. lin fan smiled faintly. then, he turned his attention to the fire spirit crystal. [fire spirit crystal: a crystal that contains a huge amount of fire attribute energy.] lin fan took out his spirit stones and spirit crystals. then, he carved out a formation around him and started to absorb the energy within the fire spirit crystal. suddenly, his entire body seemed to be burning with raging flames. his body continued to grow and emitted an incomparably powerful aura. it was as if he had become a vast and sacred fire god king, making people feel like prostrating themselves in worship. in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. the fire spirit crystal let out a soft sound, and its surface exploded. then, like a bubble, it turned into nothingness. at the same time, a terrifying aura that was like a tsunami spread out from lin fan¡¯s body. every corner of the earth was stirred up by the storm. day turned into night, and the stars shone brightly. night turned into day, and the sun and moon were in the sky. they kept rotating, and it was extremely magical. this scene immediately caused many people to discuss. at this moment, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, your cultivation has reached level-one universe.] [ding! congratulations on breaking through to the universe level. you¡¯ve obtained golden dragon body protection armor (emeperor), emperor-level equipment upgrade gem x1, universe in the palm (emperor), great dao fragment.] [golden dragon body protection armor: emperor-tier equipment. it has powerful defense and can block all attacks below the emperor-tier.] lin fan picked up the armor with the golden dragon and slowly put it on. immediately, his body emitted an incomparably dazzling golden light. the golden light continued to gather, turning into a giant golden dragon that roared into the sky. [king-level equipment upgrade gem: a magical gem that can upgrade king-level equipment to emperor-level.] lin fan thought for a moment before taking out the true dragon sword. [ding! true dragon sword upgraded successfully!] a loud dragon roar came from the true dragon sword. a vast aura surged in all directions. [universe in the palm: emperor-level cultivation technique. a powerful and mysterious cultivation technique. the palm is like the universe, possessing the power to trap and crush everything.] lin fan raised his right hand slowly. the sky, which had just regained its brightness, turned dark again. starlight flowed, incomparably resplendent. lin fan had a very strong feeling that if he wanted to, he could just move his finger. earth, and even the planets around earth, would be crushed into pieces. [great dao fragment: a fragment of the great dao. it¡¯s mysterious and unfathomable. it has a special treasure that can increase the aptitude of a world¡¯s living beings.] seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s eyes flickered. increase the aptitude of a world¡¯s living beings? global cultivation? everyone would be able to cultivate? this was definitely a very good treasure. although it was called a fragment, it was actually as tall as a small mountain. lin fan raised his hand and placed it beside the path-understanding tree. in an instant, everyone in the world, including the small fish in the water and the animals in the forest¡­ they all had a very strange feeling. they were ethereal and relaxed. their eyes became bright, their strength began to increase, and their reaction became more sensitive¡­ hu tian felt the energy circulating smoothly in her body and could not help but ask, ¡°lin fan, you broke through again?¡± lin fan smiled and nodded. ¡°yes.¡± when everyone heard that, their gazes toward lin fan became brighter and brighter. ¡­ it was also at this moment¡­ in a temple filled with incense. an old couple with white hair supported each other as they slowly walked forward. at this moment, the old man suddenly clutched his chest and fell to the ground with cold sweat on his head. the old woman next to him said in panic, ¡°my husband, my husband!¡± however, no matter how she shouted, the old man could not respond. the old woman panicked and quickly noticed the statue in front of her. therefore, she hurriedly knelt on the ground, her forehead touching the ground as she continuously wailed. ¡°please, please save my husband!¡± her head hit the ground with a loud thud. it was very miserable and sorrowful. it was as if her actions had aroused the pity of the statue. the old man¡¯s body suddenly emitted wisps of light, which were very mysterious. the next moment, he stood up with a flushed face. this change immediately attracted the attention of many people around him, and they all let out gasps of praise. ¡°the god has appeared!¡± ¡°greetings!¡± ¡°greetings!¡± everyone at the scene kowtowed and shouted. soon, this temple became famous, and the smell of incense became even stronger. similar things happened. some people could suddenly fly, some could control the weather, and some could turn into water¡­ few people knew that the great dao fragment had increased their talent. ¡­ time flowed like water. in the blink of an eye, five years had passed. under lin fan¡¯s relentless cultivation, his cultivation state had finally reached level-two universe. on this day, the saint stone placed next to the great dao fragment suddenly emitted a brilliant light like the sun. then, like an egg, cracks appeared on its surface. in the end, it shattered. when the light slowly disappeared, a one-meter-tall boy appeared. [ding! innate saint stone spirit detected.] [innate saint stone spirit: a living being nurtured by a saint stone and favored by heaven and earth.] when everyone saw him, they all revealed puzzled and curious expressions. at this moment, lin fan¡¯s body flashed and appeared before the innate saint stone spirit. the innate saint stone spirit bowed slightly. even though he had always been in stone form, he also had his own consciousness. lin fan nodded. ¡°do you have a name?¡± ¡°no, i don¡¯t,¡± the innate saint stone spirit said. ¡°then you shall be called lil stone,¡± lin fan said. ¡°yes, master,¡± lil stone said. then, lin fan briefly explained the origins of lil stone. when everyone heard this, they all revealed surprised expressions. a stone could turn into a human? could the legend of sun wukong in journey to the west be true? everyone surrounded lil stone and asked questions. thus, the huge coiling dragon villa was filled with laughter and joy as another child had appeared. ¡­ the central region of the four seasons universe, heaven palace. many men and women who were emitting powerful auras gathered together. they either greeted each other or discussed in low voices. at this moment, a 30,000-meter-tall figure shrouded in golden light appeared at the top. when he appeared, the entire hall immediately fell silent. the atmosphere became extremely solemn. then, everyone present bowed in unison and said respectfully, ¡°greetings, celestial thearch!¡± the figure shrouded in golden light nodded slightly and said, ¡°everyone, please rise.¡± his voice was extremely loud, majestic, and vast, making people feel even more respectful. Chapter 708 - 708 Universe Competition; Sparring! 708 universe competition; sparring! the man known as the heavenly emperor swept his gaze across the crowd with a pair of eyes that were as bright as the sun. everyone he saw felt their hearts beating faster. after a while, the celestial thearch continued, ¡°the universe competition will begin in a hundred years. this time, the universe competition will receive the attention of all the saint lords. let the geniuses of the various worlds prepare and perform well.¡± ¡°yes, sir!¡± everyone said in unison. then, countless pieces of news quickly arrived in many worlds like meteors. all the worlds were in an uproar. the cultivation craze continued to surge. that was because they knew very well¡­ what it meant for the saint lords to pay attention? if they were lucky enough to be chosen by the saint lords, it would definitely be a matter of reaching the heavens in a single step. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, several years passed. [ding! congratulations, it¡¯s been 42 years since you¡¯ve received the advanced system. reward: beginner rule upgrade gem, 100 million exp, immortal crystal x1.] after another immortal crystal appeared, the spiritual energy in the coiling dragon villa became even denser. ¡°finally, i got another beginner rule upgrade gem.¡± lin fan sighed. then, he focused his attention on the time laws. a long time ago, lin fan had wanted to level up his time laws. unfortunately, the condition to upgrade the time laws was to have ten laws reach the intermediate level. now, his space, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, life, death, yin, and yang had all reached the intermediate level. he finally had the chance to upgrade his time laws. [do you want to use the beginner rule upgrade gem on the time laws?] ¡°yes!¡± [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve successfully leveled up.] instantly, a mysterious and unfathomable feeling surged into lin fan¡¯s mind. he slowly raised his hand, and the solid wood table in front of him became full of vitality in the blink of an eye, turning into a towering tree. he touched the thick skin of the tree and the fresh leaves, finding it very strange. then, with a wave of his hand, the towering tree turned into a solid wood table again. this was not an illusion, nor was it the power of the wood element. it was the true power of time. time reversed, time accelerated¡­ it could be done casually! at this moment, a loud voice sounded throughout the entire earth. [planet lord, i¡¯m qin qiuliang of the dragon tiger sect. i have no ill intentions. i¡¯m looking for an invincible path to spar!] ¡­ immediately, everyone on earth started discussing and looking around. ¡°what was that sound just now?¡± ¡°what¡¯s a planet lord?¡± ¡°dragon tiger sect? is there such a sect?¡± ¡°where is he talking from?¡± ¡­ lin fan frowned and looked up into the sky. he saw¡­ a white-robed man with a golden longsword in his hand stood in the air, looking down at earth. at the same time, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [qin qiuliang: level-nine domain lord. a core disciple of the dragon tiger sect. in order to find the path of invincibility, he challenges one powerhouse after another. he has an invincible heart.] lin fan could not help but ask, ¡°isn¡¯t the formation hiding earth? why can he see earth?¡± [do you want to spend 10,000 spirit stones to inquire?] ¡°yes!¡± instantly, the 10,000 spirit stones in lin fan¡¯s internal space shattered like bubbles. [due to the great dao fragment, a special aura permeated the earth, causing the array formation to lose its concealment effect.] lin fan could not help but look at the small mountain that was the great dao fragment in the distance and frown. at this moment, qin qiuliang spoke again, ¡°are you looking down on me, qin qiuliang?¡± his voice was like thunder, forming a rumbling sound. the entire earth was also stirred up. he seemed to be a little angry. it was as if a divine king was enraged. lin fan still did not move. he used his heavenly eye to look at qin qiuliang again. even though his cultivation was only level-nine domain lord, what if it was extremely powerful? after all, in some novels, most of the people who walked the path of invincibility had the ability to kill people of a higher level. however, lin fan¡¯s expression turned weird very quickly. that was because, under the observation of the heavenly eye, qin qiuliang¡¯s entire body was filled with weaknesses. he could easily defeat him with a casual attack. this was a genius? just this? ¡­ qin qiuliang was completely furious when no one responded. ¡°you¡¯ve gone too far!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, the aura around his body continued to rise, as if he had transformed into a giant that was even taller than the sky. he would strike a terrifying blow at any time. it would be a divine punishment that would completely destroy the earth. it was also at this moment that lin fan appeared out of nowhere in the void. qin qiuliang retracted his aura slightly and said, ¡°are you the master of this planet?¡± lin fan said, ¡°maybe.¡± he had lived in the universe for a period of time and knew the rules of this world. the strong were respected! generally speaking, the strongest person on a planet was the master of the planet. lin fan was without a doubt the strongest person on earth. ¡°i think you heard what i said just now, right?¡± qin qiuliang said. ¡°don¡¯t worry, we¡¯re just sparring. it won¡¯t hurt our lives, and there won¡¯t be any grudges. ¡°make your move!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he stood with his hands behind his back, extremely arrogant. the weird look on lin fan¡¯s face grew even more intense. ¡°you really want me to make the first move?¡± ¡°yeah,¡± qin qiuliang said. lin fan nodded and waved his hand at qin qiuliang. terrifying gales surged out like a storm that could obliterate everything. a thin layer of sweat immediately appeared on qin qiuliang¡¯s forehead. he wanted to dodge, but he realized that the surrounding space was like a swamp. the more he struggled, the more he could not move. in the next moment¡­ qin qiuliang was blown away like dust. seeing this, lin fan stepped out and returned to the coiling dragon villa. he looked at the mountain-like great dao fragment not far away. for a moment, he hesitated. the fragment of the great dao made it impossible for earth to hide. should he abandon them? when lin fan saw hu tian, qiu ziqian, su ningjing, xia bing, xia xue, and the others whose cultivation levels were increasing, he put this thought aside. he could not lose them! in fact, hu tian and the others were not the only ones who were affected by the great dao fragment and seeing rapid increase in their cultivation. the reason why lin fan was able to reach level-two universe in such a short period of time was because of the fragment as well. he was not far from breaking through to level-three universe, and it was also due to the great dao fragment. the best defense was to become stronger in the shortest time possible. at this moment, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! qin qiuliang has a favorable impression of you. current favorability is three stars.] lin fan blinked his eyes. what was going on? did he not just send the guy flying? not only did he not hate him, but he even had a good impression of him? did he like to be abused? Chapter 709 - 709 Another Challenge; Revenge! 709 another challenge; revenge! time flowed like water. in the blink of an eye, seven years had passed. in the past seven years, the system had rewarded lin fan with a total of five immortal crystals, two pieces of emperor-level equipment, three transcendence golden bodies, top-notch wood law talent, and king-level skill upgrade gems. on top of that, lin fan was cultivating even harder than before, causing his cultivation state to break through to level-three universe. he was heading toward level-four universe. that was because lin fan knew that earth had been exposed to the universe. there could be danger at any time. since that was the case, he had to first make himself stronger. only in this way could he better protect his family and the earth. at this moment, a loud voice sounded in every corner of the earth. ¡°planet lord, i¡¯m tang zeyuan of the dragon tiger sect. i am here to spar with you!¡± ¡­ this voice immediately caused many people on earth to start discussing. ¡°a few years ago, someone seemed to have shouted for the planet master.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right! it was also someone from the dragon tiger sect, but he seemed to be called qin something.¡± ¡°who¡¯s the planet lord?¡± ¡°does our earth really have a lord? is it the jade emperor?¡± ¡°it must be buddha. a few years ago, guanyin appeared.¡± ¡°did they spar last time? who won?¡± ¡­ when lin fan heard the voice, he looked up into the sky. [tang zeyuan: level-one universe cultivator. he¡¯s a core disciple of the dragon tiger sect and a genius. because qin qiuliang was boasting about your strength, he developed an interest in you. he specially came to challenge you. current favorability: two stars.] lin fan¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°that fellow¡­¡± then, he used the heavenly eye to observe carefully. very soon, lin fan shook his head. was this also a genius? why was his entire body filled with weaknesses? geniuses in novels were not like this. lin fan first said to hu tian and the others, ¡°i¡¯ll be back soon.¡± then, he took a step forward and instantly appeared in the void. when tang zeyuan saw lin fan, his eyes that seemed to be filled with stars lit up. he said, ¡°are you the lord of this planet? may i ask what this planet is called?¡± ¡°earth,¡± lin fan said. after all, tang zeyuan had a good impression of him. in addition, there was no problem with just saying his name. ¡°earth?¡± tang zeyuan asked. ¡°how domineering!¡± then, he cupped his fists and said seriously, ¡°i¡¯m tang zeyuan of the dragon tiger sect.¡± ¡°i¡¯m lin fan form earth.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly whistled between the two of them, blowing their clothes and hair gently. in the next moment¡­ tang zeyuan took a step forward and charged toward lin fan. lin fan casually slapped out. the overwhelming energy instantly turned into billions of sword energies. all the sword energy quickly gathered and turned into a huge sword that was comparable to the sun. the long sword flew out, sweeping with endless terrifying pressure. it suddenly crushed toward tang zeyuan. ¡°what?¡± tang zeyuan¡¯s pupils constricted, and a sense of despair that he had never felt before appeared in his heart. ¡°i¡¯m finished!¡± just as tang zeyuan thought he was about to die, the energy sword suddenly stopped a few centimeters away from him. even so, the terrifying wind still blew his clothes and hair straight. tang zeyuan panted heavily, as if his strength had been instantly sucked dry. his entire body went limp. with a wave of his hand, the energy sword dissipated instantly. ¡°let¡¯s end the spar here.¡± after saying that, lin fan took a step out and disappeared into the void. ¡°i¡¯ll become stronger and challenge you again!¡± tang zeyuan gritted his teeth and said. his voice was like a great flood, rippling across the earth. at the same time, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! tang zeyuan¡¯s favorability toward you has increased to four stars.] when lin fan heard this, a strange look appeared on his face. could it be that all so-called geniuses liked to be abused? lin fan shook his head and tossed this matter to the back of his mind. then, he turned his attention to the system interface.

[liero: bug queen. level-five universe. because you destroyed her plan on qing planet, she became angry out of embarrassment and developed hatred toward you. current hatred points: five stars.] seeing this¡­ lin fan frowned. liero was obviously the bug queen. in the past, lin fan did not pay too much attention to his relationships with people. as a result, he did not know that he had a five-star enemy. now, even though liero had yet to find trouble with him, that was only because he did not know where lin fan was. lin fan knew that one day, he would find him. since that was the case, why not make the first move? lin fan¡¯s gaze turned cold. then, his gaze fell on curse and the king-level technique upgrade gem. [do you want to upgrade curse?] ¡°yes!¡± [ding! upgrade successful. curse is now at the king-level.] [do you wish to spend 100,000 spirit stones to curse liero?] ¡°yes!¡± instantly, the 100,000 spirit stones that had been stored in the inner space shattered into pieces and disappeared into a stream of light. ¡­ on the other hand¡­ a giant monster swept out with a terrifying aura as it charged forward wantonly, emitting a series of rumbling sounds. ¡°ma zheng, there¡¯s no need to hide. you can¡¯t escape!¡± that pair of scarlet eyes were like the cold moon as they swaying in the void. a terrifying energy continuously surged in all directions. in the next moment, the monster suddenly caught sight of a figure moving on a meteorite in the distance. hence, it grinned and said, ¡°i found you.¡± the terrifying aura formed a huge scarlet energy pillar and shot out, directly blasting the meteorite into pieces. an extremely disheveled figure appeared from the fragment. it was ma zheng. ¡°i told you, you can¡¯t escape.¡± a terrifying pressure pressed down, causing ma zheng¡¯s entire body to tremble. he could not think of escaping at all. it was over. beads of sweat kept rolling down. there was only one thought in ma zheng¡¯s mind. he was dead! at this moment¡­ a black aura suddenly spread out from liero¡¯s body. her huge body began to twist. ¡°what¡¯s going on?¡±¡± she quickly scanned her surroundings but found nothing. the next moment, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and her entire face turned pale. then, as if she had been frightened, she did not have the mood to pay attention to ma zheng at all. she broke through the space and fled rapidly into an unknown distance. this scene stunned ma zheng. he slowed down for a while before finding a direction and running away again. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. for the past month, lin fan would curse liero every day before he started cultivating. it was the same today. the 100,000 spirit stones in lin fan¡¯s internal space were instantly turned into bubbles. a crisp voice sounded in his mind. [ding! because of your curse, liero¡¯s inner demons have greatly increased, her cultivation has greatly decreased, and she¡¯s heavily injured.] seeing this¡­ lin fan did not pay any more attention to it and started another day of cultivation. for the next ten days, he kept cursing. on this day¡­ [ding! because of your curse, liero has completely perished.] [ding! you¡¯ve killed a level-five universe beast. you¡¯ve obtained 500 million experience points.] lin fan could not help but heave a sigh of relief. however, at this moment, a clear notification sounded in his mind. [ding! you¡¯ve incurred hatred from liege. current hatred points: five stars.] [liege: level-three king expert. lord of the bug realm. because you have killed his daughter, he has developed hatred toward you. current hatred points: five stars.] lin fan frowned. was this the legendary saying of beating up the young and then the old? if this continued, when could he kill them all? level-three king! this was the first time that lin fan had met someone with a known cultivation state that was at the king level. moreover, he had five stars of hatred toward him. it was truly troublesome. lin fan said in a low voice, ¡°liege already knows that i killed his daughter?¡± [do you want to spend 10,000 spirit stones to inquire?] ¡°yes!¡± [i don¡¯t know.] lin fan continued, ¡°does he have a way to find out the source of the curse?¡± [the curse is protected by the system. no living being can know the source unless the host is exposed.] when lin fan heard that, he heaved a sigh of relief. after that, he began his cultivation for the day. the next day, he started cursing again. today, the target of his curse had become liege. ¡­ bug realm. liege, who was like a mountain range, suddenly opened his eyes. a terrifying green murderous aura spread out, causing all the plants within a hundred miles to wither and wither. ¡°curse?¡± he said in a rumbling voice. ¡°humph!¡± with a muffled groan, the black gas that had just spread out was directly dispersed. after that, silence returned. however, he did not know that this was only the beginning. ten days. one month. half a year. one year! two years! every day, liege would be cursed. he could easily resist the curse once, but after so many days of continuous cursing, it was finally difficult for him to resist. ¡°humph!¡± with a muffled groan, two streams of blood flowed out of liege¡¯s black nostrils like spring water. ¡°curse! another curse! who is it?¡± ¡°flame king? ¡°wind king? ¡°pine tree king? ¡°damn it!¡± the powerful red wind churned wildly, turning everything within a radius of hundreds of kilometers into nothingness. ¡­ [ding! your enemy, lige, has been cursed by you. his mind has been damaged, and his heart is in turmoil.] ¡­ four years later, the curse remained. black blood flowed out of liege¡¯s nose, eyes, mouth, and ears. his huge body seemed to have gone crazy, and his aura became weak. ¡­ [ding! your enemy, liege, has been cursed by you. he¡¯s heavily injured, and his cultivation has decreased.] ¡­ ten years later, the curse continued. ¡°with my soul, i curse my enemies.¡± liege shouted crazily, his voice reverberating in the universe. in the next moment¡­ liege¡¯s entire body exploded like a balloon, illuminating the entire universe. terrifying energy waves spread wildly, instantly turning several planets nearby into nothingness. at this moment, people from countless planets looked at liege with curiosity, doubt, and horror. at this moment, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! you¡¯ve killed a level-three king cultivator. you¡¯ve obtained three billion experience points.] [ding! congratulations, you¡¯ve killed a king cultivator for the first time. you¡¯ve obtained ethereal breathing technique (emperor), top-notch time laws talent, and dark yellow protection pearl (emperor).] Chapter 711 - 711 Opportunity; Crisis? 711 opportunity; crisis? the surging energy continued to surge toward his limbs. then, lin fan used ethereal breathing technique that had just appeared in his mind and took a deep breath. boundless spiritual energy gushed into lin fan¡¯s body like a huge river. his cultivation increased rapidly! golden light shone from the dark yellow protection pearl around his body. it was as warm and safe as the sun. at the same time, lin fan had gained many new insights and ways to use time laws. ¡­ meanwhile, in jiangbei city. ¡°chengzhen, i discovered a very mysterious forbidden area!¡± li hao said. ¡°i have a feeling that there¡¯s a great opportunity inside!¡± ¡°you said something similar before, but what happened in the end?¡± lin chengzhen pursed his lips. he still could not forget the scene of being chased by thousands of mutated beasts after entering the mystic realm. sometimes, he would even be woken up by a fright. it was simply a nightmare. li hao was a little embarrassed to be exposed. ¡°that was an accident¡­ besides, nothing happened to us in the forbidden area. moreover, he grew quite a bit in the forbidden area.¡± lin chengzhen did not refute his words. although it was a little embarrassing that time, at least he had gained a lot of combat experience and wilderness survival skills. li hao seemed to have noticed that lin chengzhen was tempted. ¡°chengzhen, don¡¯t you want to obtain a great opportunity and become stronger so that you can better protect your sister and family in the future?¡±¡± younger sister? family? at the mention of them, lin chengzhen¡¯s originally calm heart immediately rippled as if a huge stone had been thrown into it. when his sister, lin yulian, was born, lin chengzhen¡¯s only thought was to teach her well, take care of her, and protect her. the result? in the end, when lin yulian was five years old, her cultivation had completely surpassed his. now, it had reached a height that he could not compare to. that was fine. later, a boy jumped out of the holy spirit stone, lil stone. even though lin chengzhen was not related to him by blood, he still treated him like his younger brother. if he could not take care of his sister, he could at least take care of his brother, right? the result? lil stone¡¯s cultivation increased rapidly every day. not long after, he also surpassed him. his younger brother and sister would become dragons and phoenixes. they would not be bullied by anyone. this was a very happy thing. however, lin chengzhen felt helpless. there was no sense of accomplishment from being an older brother. perhaps he could really become stronger quickly by going to the forbidden area? then, he could experience what it felt like to be an older brother. thinking of this, lin chengzhen replied, ¡°alright.¡± ¡°you agree?¡± li hao said happily. ¡°yes.¡± lin chengzhen nodded. ¡°that¡¯s great! we¡¯ll set off now!¡± li hao did not say anything else. he grabbed lin chengzhen¡¯s arm and rushed into the distance. it was obvious that he was worried that lin chengzhen would suddenly go back on his word. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, three months had passed. li hao and lin chengzhen kept moving forward in the dark and rugged forbidden area. the dark and damp smell was nauseating. ¡°li hao, is this the mystic realm you mentioned that has great opportunities?¡± lin chengzhen frowned. last time, he could at least encounter a large group of exotic beasts. it could also be considered to increase his combat experience. however, what about this mystic realm? there were no spiritual fruits or strange beasts, only a rugged road with no clear edge. li hao laughed dryly and said, ¡°uhh¡­ the better the opportunity, the more time needed to find it.¡± ¡°but we¡¯ve been searching for three months,¡± lin chengzhen said. li hao said, ¡°good things take time¡­ if we persevere, we will definitely reap great rewards.¡± thus, the two of them once again set foot on the road ahead. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, another three months had passed. ¡°i¡¯ll walk for another three days. if i don¡¯t find anything, i¡¯ll be going back.¡± ¡°¡­alright then.¡± li hao also had the intention of retreating. after walking for half a year, he also suspected that there might really be no treasures in this mystic realm. ¡°huh, what¡¯s that?¡± lin chengzhen was puzzled. li hao looked in that direction. in the next moment¡­ his eyes lit up. it was a wide square. there were nine incomparably thick stone pillars erected around the square. every stone pillar was engraved with extremely complicated and mysterious talismans, and they were suffused with an extremely mysterious aura. li hao quickened his pace and ran over. he said excitedly, ¡°chengzhen, what did i say? what did i say? there must be an opportunity in this mystic realm! a great opportunity!¡± lin chengzhen also carefully observed the stone pillar and asked, ¡°what kind of opportunity is this stone pillar?¡± ¡°it might be a weapon!¡± li hao stroked it gently. ¡°a very powerful weapon! just like sun wukong¡¯s golden cudgel!¡± ¡°sun wukong¡¯s golden cudgel?¡± lin chengzhen said. ¡°it¡¯s just an analogy!¡± li hao said. then, he began to observe the stone pillar even more attentively. about an hour later, lin chengzhen spoke again, ¡°this seems to be an ordinary stone pillar with a special talisman engraved on it.¡± ¡°how is that possible? perhaps we have to pull it out!¡± li hao said. he did as he said. he hugged the stone pillar with both hands, injected energy, and exerted force. however, the stone pillar in front of him seemed to be rooted into the ground and could not move at all. ¡°chengzhen, come and help me.¡± the two of them exerted their strength together, but the stone pillar still did not move. thus, they went to hug the other stone pillars. after hugging the eighth pillar, lin chengzhen said, ¡°i think this might be some kind of special formation that we can¡¯t move at all.¡± ¡°this is the last one. how do we know if we don¡¯t try?¡± li hao said. ¡°come, quick!¡± lin chengzhen nodded and hugged the last stone pillar. they had just exerted their strength when¡­ instantly, the stone pillars burst forth with a terrifying energy. the energy continued to condense, turning the area where the nine stone pillars were located into a huge black energy box. in the black energy box, lightning bolts were jumping around, looking fierce and terrifying. ¡°what¡¯s this?¡± lin chengzhen asked. li hao said. ¡°could it be an opportunity?¡± at this moment, a pair of scarlet and cold eyes appeared above the black energy box. it was as if they wanted to devour all living beings in the world. a sense of danger rose from the depths of lin chengzhen¡¯s soul. ¡°this is bad!¡± he shouted. he pulled li hao and was about to rush out. however¡­ at the bottom of the black energy box, a powerful suction force suddenly appeared. it was like a black hole that could not be resisted at all. lin chengzhen and li hao instantly fell into it and disappeared as if they were swallowed. the black energy box continued to throb and emit a soft sound of electricity. after a long time, the black energy slowly dissipated. strangely, the nine thick stone pillars also disappeared without a trace. Chapter 712 - 712 Killing Bosses? 712 killing bosses? in the blink of an eye, another half a year passed. lin fan¡¯s entire body was glowing with a bright light, giving off a holy and vast aura. he was like a god in the heavens, causing people to feel a sense of respect and worship. lin fan took in a deep breath. the surrounding spiritual energy surged into his body in a visible whirlpool. then, he turned his attention to the system. [host: lin fan] [cultivation: level-five universe] [skills: sword 81 (emperor), curse (emperor), sword nurturing technique (emperor), universe sword technique (emperor)¡­] [equipment: star meteorite sword (ordinary), flame armor (emperor), heavenly soul bead (emperor), true dragon sword (emperor)¡­] [laws: time (intermediate), space (intermediate), metal (intermediate), wood (intermediate), water (intermediate), fire (intermediate), earth (intermediate), life (intermediate), death (intermediate), yin (intermediate), yang (intermediate), wind (intermediate), lightning (elementary), strength (elementary)] [character relationship:] [lin tao: dad; favorability: ten stars] [dai weixue: mom; favorability: ten stars] [lin xiaoyao: sister; favorability: ten stars] [xia xue: dao companion; favorability: ten stars] [xia bing, dao companion; favorability: ten stars] even though lin fan had been cursing others all these years, he had not neglected his cultivation. in fact, he had been working even harder. coupled with the ever-increasing amount of immortal crystals and his top-notch cultivation talent, his cultivation level had reached the fifth level of universe! at this moment, a loud sound rang out between heaven and earth. ¡°fenghua sect¡¯s liu sanpao is here to challenge the master of earth, lin fan!¡± ¡°true martial sect¡¯s hu yuanyang is here to challenge the master of earth, lin fan!¡± ¡°occult sect¡¯s song hao is here to challenge the master of earth, lin fan!¡± ¡­ these voices reverberated throughout the entire earth and immediately caused many people to discuss. ¡°why are there so many people challenging this time?¡± ¡°i don¡¯t think i¡¯ve heard of these sects before. how did they spread their names so far?¡± ¡°the master of earth? lin fan? does our earth really have a master?¡± ¡°lin fan? it seems to be a name from the xia alliance.¡± ¡°i think i¡¯ve heard of the name lin fan.¡± ¡­ when lin fan heard that, he frowned and looked up into the sky. in the air, there were dozens of men and women. their auras surged, and their gazes were sharp. all of them possessed extraordinary strength. challenge? another challenge! damn, did they think he was a boss? lin fan¡¯s eyes gleamed as he used his heavenly eye to scan over. very soon, lin fan started shaking his head. that was because, under the observation of his heavenly eye, their bodies were filled with weaknesses. he could easily defeat them. even if he was a boss, these people challenging him should have some strength, no? he would end this farce as soon as possible. lin fan stretched out his index finger. ¡°whoosh!¡± immediately, his index finger shot out an endless golden light. the golden light quickly gathered and condensed into dozens of golden swords. they swept out with a majestic aura. in the blink of an eye, he arrived in the void. the target¡­ the dozens of men and women in the air. their pupils constricted slightly. some of them did not even have time to react before they were directly sent flying tens of thousands of miles by the golden swords. someone reacted quickly and dodged to the side. however, the golden swords seemed to have a life of their own. they suddenly changed their direction and struck them again. just like that¡­ these dozens of people came and left in a hurry. in the blink of an eye, they all disappeared without a trace. only dozens of sword marks were left in the air, which seemed to prove that they had been here before. lin fan treated this matter as a small matter and did not take it to heart at all. however, he still said to his family in the coiling dragon villa, ¡°it¡¯s fine now.¡± hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. hu tian, who was sitting under the path-understanding tree, hesitated for a moment before slowly walking over. ¡°teacher tiantian, what¡¯s the matter?¡± asked lin fan. even now, lin fan still addressed hu tian as teacher tiantian. it was nostalgic and also a kind of fun. hu tian said, ¡°lin fan, chengzhen seems to have disappeared again.¡± ¡°how long has it been?¡± lin fan asked. ¡°more than a year,¡± hu tian said worriedly. lin fan comforted her, ¡°he has a king-level protection treasure. as long as he¡¯s on earth, he won¡¯t be in danger. i will see where he is first.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, a tidal wave of spiritual energy instantly covered the entire earth. ¡°huh?¡± lin fan frowned. ¡°what¡¯s wrong?¡± hu tian said nervously. ¡°i don¡¯t think i saw chengzhen. that¡¯s strange,¡± lin fan said. ¡°you didn¡¯t see him?¡± hu tian became even more nervous. lin fan thought about it and said, ¡°maybe i didn¡¯t see it too clearly. i¡¯ll check it out.¡± following that, his spiritual energy became even more vigorous as he searched the earth inch by inch. unfortunately, there was still no trace of lin chengzhen. hence, lin fan used the power of time to search for him. finally, one year and three months ago, he found lin chengzhen. he learned that lin chengzhen and li hao had entered the mystic realm and encountered the mysterious stone pillars. a moment later, lin fan retracted his spiritual energy. then, he used the power of soul communication. lin fan called out a few times before lin chengzhen finally responded. ¡°daddy?¡± ¡°it¡¯s me. where are you and li hao now?¡± ¡°we don¡¯t know where we are either, but dad, you and mom don¡¯t have to worry about me. i¡¯m very safe now. that lord only asked us to cultivate, and i¡¯ve already broken through to the planet level!¡± when lin chengzhen said this, there was unconcealable excitement in his tone. ever since his younger sister and brother were born, he had always wanted to become stronger. unfortunately, becoming stronger was not something he could do just because he wanted to. now, his goal was finally realized. when lin fan heard this, he was shocked as well. he clearly remembered that lin chengzhen was only in the transcendent realm not long ago, and there was still a long way to go before he broke through to the star traveller realm. in just a year, he had become a star traveller? lin fan asked, ¡°how are you cultivating?¡± ¡°the spiritual energy here is very dense. in addition, magical spiritual fruits and spiritual liquids are sent over every week. oh right, that lord also taught us a powerful cultivation technique. dad, let me tell you about this cultivation technique,¡± lin chengzhen said. lin fan thought for a moment and said, ¡°alright.¡± thus, lin chengzhen told him everything about the cultivation technique. the cultivation technique was very complicated. it was only said once, and ordinary people would not be able to remember it. however, lin fan was not an ordinary person. lin fan said, ¡°cheng zhen, do you know the name of the lord you¡¯re talking about?¡± ¡°i heard someone call him moses,¡± lin chengzhen said. Chapter 713 - 713 Dark Universe; Kneel Down! 713 dark universe; kneel down! in the dark universe, the wind howled and black water filled the air. the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood, and from time to time, terrifying screams could be heard. the entire world was like hell, incomparably terrifying. lin chengzhen and li hao were here! however, they were completely different from a year ago. their bodies were in tatters, and there were several hideous wounds on their bodies that were so deep that their bones could be seen. there was a long golden rope around their waists that kept twisting like a dragon¡¯s tendon. their bodies emitted a terrifying baleful aura. ¡°what the hell is this place?¡± li hao muttered. ¡°my dad just contacted me,¡± lin chengzhen said. ¡°your dad?¡± li hao was surprised. ¡°he¡¯s here too?¡± as he spoke, he kept looking around, but he did not find anything. ¡°it¡¯s my father¡¯s special ability. he can ignore space and distance and communicate with anyone.¡± lin chengzhen shook his head. ¡°f*ck! is your father that powerful?¡± li hao shouted. ¡°my father is indeed very powerful,¡± lin chengzhen said. ¡°i heard that he once went to the universe beyond earth. my mother said that my father is the strongest person.¡± li haoyan¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. ¡°he¡¯s been to the universe! f*ck! is your father a god? the jade emperor?¡± many characters from myths and legends immediately appeared in his mind. ¡°by the way, did your father give you that pearl?¡± li hao said. ¡°my father gave me the pearl, but he¡¯s not the jade emperor,¡± lin chengzhen said. ¡°then did you tell your father about our situation?¡± li hao asked. ¡°will we be saved soon?¡± before entering the mystic realm, he had always wanted to become stronger. for this, no matter how great the price, no matter how hard it was, he would not hesitate. however, in the past half a year, he had become a little afraid. this place was simply too dangerous and terrifying. despair¡­ ¡°i didn¡¯t tell my dad.¡± lin chengzhen shook his head. ¡°although he is very powerful, you also know the situation in this world. there¡¯s also that terrifying moses¡­ i don¡¯t want dad to take the risk.¡± ¡°also, don¡¯t you think this place is really suitable for cultivation?¡± lin chengzhen asked after a pause. ¡°in such a short period of time, our cultivation has increased so much. if we continue, we will definitely become stronger!¡± li hao¡¯s gaze also became firm as he said, ¡°then let¡¯s continue adventuring!¡± at this moment, countless ripples suddenly appeared in the endless black water, and a pungent smell pervaded the air. one by one, spiders with human faces bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they popped their heads out. ¡°more monsters are coming out!¡± li hao shouted. ¡°be careful!¡± ¡­ earth, coiling dragon villa. ¡°have you found cheng zhen?¡± hu tian asked anxiously. lin fan nodded his head. ¡°found him. he entered a very mysterious secret realm and is currently in seclusion. we don¡¯t have to worry.¡± when hu tian heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°i see.¡± she hugged lin fan gently. after a moment of warmth, she slowly left. meanwhile, lin fan focused his attention on the system. ¡°may i know where lin chengzhen is?¡± [this requires 100,000 spirit stones. do you wish to inquire?] ¡°yes!¡± [dark universe. a universe that¡¯s hidden in the endless darkness.] ¡°can i enter the dark universe?¡± [yes, with the host¡¯s current strength, it will take 10,000 years.] lin fan frowned. 10,000 years¡­ one had to know that even if one counted the thousand years of slumber, lin fan had only lived for a little over 1,000 years. 10,000 years was indeed a long time. if he rushed over and then rushed back, what would happent o earth and his family? furthermore, lin fan did not know if he could find lin chengzhen and bring him back. lin fan sighed and said, ¡°i have to be stronger.¡± at this moment, a clear notification sounded in his mind. [ding! it¡¯s been 60 years since you¡¯ve obtained the advanced system. you¡¯re rewarded with true flame stone, immortal crystal x1, transcendence golden body x1.] [true flame stone: a stone with rich fire energy. after absorbing it, you can quickly increase your fire energy.] lin fan set up a formation around the area and started to absorb the true flame stone. after a while, the entire space was completely enveloped by the scorching flames. as for lin fan himself, he seemed to have transformed into a gigantic fire dragon as he roared out maniacally with an aura that shook the heavens. if not for the protection of the array formation, the surrounding tens of thousands of kilometers¡­ in fact, the entire earth might have turned into a fireball in an instant. after a long while, lin fan heaved a sigh of relief. the surrounding flames suddenly stopped. at the same time, a clear notification sounded in his mind. [ding! congratulations, your fire laws has advanced to advanced.] advanced! this was the first advanced law that lin fan had grasped. he slowly raised his hand, and his entire arm and even his entire body turned into a ball of flames. he possessed a tyrannical power that could melt and devour everything. lin fan said, ¡°this feeling is really amazing. i wonder how far i can walk on the fire path in the river of time.¡± he left just like that. lin fan willed it and entered the river of time. he took a step forward and walked on the fire path, continuing to move forward. 100 meters. 200 meters. 500 meters. 1,000 meters. 2,000 meters. 5,000 meters! lin fan finally felt a little strained. however, he continued to move forward. at this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded behind him. ¡°hmm?¡± then, a man in fiery red armor appeared beside him. it was zhu yan. ¡°it¡¯s you, little fellow,¡± zhu yan said in surprise. the first time zhu yan met lin fan, he realized that he was cultivating many laws at the same time and had a bad impression of him. he felt that lin fan was too greedy and would never achieve anything. now that he saw lin fan walking so far down the path of fire, it was inevitable that he would be shocked. one had to know¡­ it had only been a few decades since the first time he had met lin fan. in just a few decades, he had made such great progress! monster! [ding! zhu yan has developed hatred toward you due to your extraordinary talent in fire laws. his hatred has increased to three stars.] when lin fan heard this, he frowned. ¡°little fellow, you¡¯re not bad. kneel down and be my disciple.¡± he raised his head and maintained a superior attitude. it was as if letting lin fan become his disciple was a great blessing. regarding this¡­ lin fan said calmly, ¡°i never said i wanted to be your disciple.¡± Chapter 714 - 714 Obtaining Another Great Dao Fragment; Mu Jun! 714 obtaining another great dao fragment; mu jun! zhu yan had not expected that lin fan would reject him. his face turned cold. ¡°little guy, do you know who i am?¡± he asked in a deep voice. ¡°i¡¯m the palace master of fire god palace!¡± lin fan said, ¡°what does this have to do with me?¡± the scorching heat wave turned into a huge mountain of flames that came crashing down on lin fan. ¡°little brat, what did you say?¡± zhu yan said sternly. [ding! zhu yan¡¯s hatred toward you has increased to four stars.] since the other party constantly hated him, he was his enemy. did he have to talk nicely to his enemy? lin fan said, ¡°your mother!¡± ¡°bastard!¡± zhu yan shouted. the terrifying aura was like a cannonball that sent lin fan flying. in the next moment¡­ lin fan, who was in the coiling dragon villa, opened his eyes. his face was filled with hatred. then, he looked at the system again. [zhu yan. cultivation: unknown. the palace master of the fire god palace. he hates you because you have monstrous cultivation talent, rejected his wish to take you in as a disciple, and insulted him. current hatred points: 5 stars.] five stars! good fellow! kill! lin fan thought of curse. however, he did not use it immediately. it was because if he cursed him now, zhu yan would easily guess that he was the one who did it. although zhu yan did not know where he was at the moment, what if he found out? after all, he was the palace master of fire god palace, a powerful existence whose cultivation base was unknown. lin fan would wait a few years. ¡­ time flew by like water. these few years, lin fan had been cultivating silently. as earth¡¯s concealment array failed, more and more people in the universe came to challenge lin fan. lin chengzhen entered the dark universe, and lin fan¡¯s enemy, zhu yan, appeared¡­ tthis made lin fan even more eager to raise his cultivation state. on this day, lin fan suddenly realized that there were many cars and many people around the coiling dragon villa. he could not help but use his spiritual power to cover the area, wanting to know the reason. soon, everyone¡¯s conversation fell into their ears. ¡°did the golden light really appear here last time?¡± ¡°the satellite had already taken photos. how can it be fake? besides, don¡¯t you feel that this place is very special?¡± ¡°i heard that the great man from a thousand years ago, lin fan, also lives here¡­ do you think he¡¯s the master of earth?¡± ¡°does that great man really exist?¡± ¡°it¡¯s really hard to say.¡± ¡­ when lin fan heard this, he had a look of understanding on his face. it seemed like¡­ when he defeated those challengers a few years ago, some people noticed the abnormality. lin fan did not take this to heart. instead, he turned his attention to curse. he muttered in his heart, ¡®a few years have already passed.¡¯ [ding! do you wish to use 100,000 spirit stones to curse zhu yan?] ¡°yes!¡± ¡­ on a distant planet. in the extremely imposing fire god palace. zhu yan, who was a thousand feet tall, frowned slightly and said, ¡°someone cursed me? you overestimate yourself!¡± with a slight thought, the curse instantly dissipated. ¡­ ten years passed in the blink of an eye. in the past ten years, lin fan had obtained six immortal crystals, five transcendence golden bodies, and two pieces of emperor-level equipment from the system. his cultivation had reached level-six universe. on this day, a crisp notification sounded in his mind again. [ding! congratulations, it¡¯s been 70 years since you¡¯ve received the advanced system. reward: great dao fragment x1, transcendence golden body x1, immortal crystal x1.] seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°finally, another great dao fragment.¡± he still remembered clearly that the great dao fragment had the magical effect of increasing the aptitude of living beings. with a thought, he placed the mountain-like great dao fragment beside the path-understanding tree. instantly, everyone in the world¡ªespecially those in the coiling dragon villa¡ªfelt extremely relaxed. they felt like fish in water in regards to their cultivation, which was increasing rapidly. lin fan circulated his ethereal breathing technique and took a deep breath. his cultivation speed had increased by at least three times! lin fan praised, ¡°indeed, the great dao fragment is extraordinary.¡± ¡­ on the other hand. on earth, some people who were moving bricks at the construction site suddenly became as light as swallows. it was as if they had endless strength as they moved bricks one after another into the distance. some people who were fighting in the arena suddenly broke through and possessed tyrannical strength, making the battle even more exciting. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, five years had passed. lin fan¡¯s cultivation state had broken through once again, reaching level-seven universe. hu tian, su ningjing, huang ling, and the others had entered the planet realm. they were not far from breaking through to the star traveller state. among them, xia bing and xia xue had reached level-eight star traveller. on this day, everyone was cultivating hard as usual. a spaceship flew over and stopped tens of thousands of miles away from earth. then, a man in a white robe appeared in front of the spaceship. he used his eyes that were filled with golden light to scan earth. in his field of vision, earth was wrapped in dense spiritual fog, and there was even countless roaring spiritual dragons. the white-robed man was surprised. ¡°unbelievable.¡± ¡°no wonder this planet called earth would have a star lord like lin fan. ¡°there¡¯s such a scenery outside the planet, so what¡¯s the interior like?¡± at this point, his figure flashed, and he was ready to enter earth. however, he was soon blocked by an invisible wall. it was indestructible. the white-robed man was surprised again. a protective array? a large-scale protective magic circle that protected the entire planet? could it be that it was also from star lord lin fan? ¡°not only does he have extraordinary strength, but he also has a powerful array formation? unbelievable!¡± after a long while, he opened his mouth and said, ¡°lin fan, master of earth, i¡¯m mujun qinxian, a subordinate of the master of the spring region. may i meet you?¡± ¡­ in truth, lin fan had already known about the white-robed man¡¯s arrival the moment he arrived outside of earth. that was because a clear notification sounded in his mind. [ding! level-nine universecultivator, qin xian, detected.] [qin xian: level-nine universe cultivator. a wood lord under the master of the spring region. he¡¯s trusted by the master of the spring region and has good abilities.] level-nine universe! this was definitely a powerhouse. lin fan immediately used his heavenly eye to observe him. he found more than ten weaknesses. he had six to seven ways to instantly kill him. thus, he felt at ease. he was just observing qin xian silently on earth, wanting to see what he was up to. at this moment, when lin fan heard qin xian¡¯s voice, he did not hesitate too much. stepping out, the surrounding space rippled like a curtain of water. in the next moment, lin fan¡¯s figure appeared in the void. ¡°hello, star lord lin.¡± Chapter 715 - 715 Upgrade Curse; Strengthening! 715 upgrade curse; strengthening! as the saying went, one should not hit a smiling face. even in the universe, this saying was still useful. ¡°greetings, mujun,¡± lin fan said. ¡°i wonder why you¡¯ve come to my place?¡± ¡°lin fan, you should know about the universe competition in 40 years, right?¡± lin fan was puzzled. ¡°universe competition?¡± ¡°you don¡¯t know?¡± qinxian mujun asked curiously. after all, this was a very grand competition. generally speaking, as long as one had a slight understanding of the universe, one should have heard of the universe competition. lin fan shook his head. ¡°then i¡¯ll explain it briefly. the universe competition is a grand competition that¡¯s held once every million years. the contestants are all geniuses from different universes. ¡°those who can achieve outstanding results in the competition will receive the attention of various large factions. their names will spread throughout countless universes, and they¡¯ll obtain great opportunities! ¡°in particular, this time¡¯s universe competition has attracted the attention of all the saint lords!¡± when he mentioned the saint lords, qinxian mujun¡¯s expression clearly became respectful and excited. when lin fan heard this, he had a thoughtful look on his face. could this be the reason why those sects kept challenging him? at this moment, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! mission¡ªtake part in the universe competition.] reward: great dao fragment, immortal crystals x5, advanced rule upgrade gem x1.] when lin fan heard this, his heart skipped a beat. great dao fragment, five immortal crystals, and an advanced rule upgrade gem! the rewards for this mission were quite generous. lin fan wanted to agree immediately. qinxian mujun continued, ¡°for the sake of this universe competition, the master of the spring region is preparing to select some strong people and nurture them in advance. i wonder if you¡¯re interested?¡± concentrate on training? was this not the same as being recruited into the national team and being forced to train? this was definitely a very good thing for ordinary people. this was because this was equivalent to performing in front of the master of the spring region before participating in the competition and obtaining a large amount of resources. once they obtained good results in the competition because of these resources, they would be able to obtain the favor of the saint lords. it was definitely something that would make them soar into the sky in one go. there were generous rewards from missions, and then there was the favor of the master of the spring region and even the saint lords. if it was someone else, they would not hesitate at all and immediately agree. however, lin fan shook his head lightly. ¡°i¡¯m sorry, i don¡¯t have any intention of participating in the universe competition.¡± he had the experience of entering a mystic realm before and had even stayed there for a full ten years. as for the universe competition, which was a large-scale competition that happened once every million years, just by listening to it, he could tell that it would definitely take a long time. in addition, following the master of the spring region would require 40 years of forced training. in total, it would take an unknown amount of time. if he had the time, he would rather stay on earth to cultivate, accompany his family, and protect the planet. moreover, the universe¡¯s hegemony involved huge benefits. the greater the benefits, the fiercer the battle. even though lin fan was confident that he had decent strength now, if an accident happened during the battle, or if he was plotted against by some experts, then there would always be an accident. since that was the case, he might as well stay on earth. ¡­ when qinxian mujun heard that, he could not help being stunned for a moment. he did not expect lin fan to reject him. he stammered, ¡°lin fan, the universe competition is very rare. you¡­ won¡¯t you consider it?¡± ¡°no thanks,¡± lin fan said decisively. qinxian mujun was stunned. ¡°alright then.¡± the two of them continued to chat for a while before qinxian mujun boarded the flying ship and flew away. after all, he could not force it. meanwhile, lin fan returned to earth and started cultivating again. time flowed like water. ten years passed in the blink of an eye. lin fan¡¯s cultivation state had broken through to level-eight universe. on this day, just like in previous years, a clear notification sounded in his mind. [ding! it¡¯s been 80 years since you¡¯ve obtained the advanced system. you¡¯re rewarded with emperor-level cultivation technique upgrade gem x1, immortal crystal x1, and intermediate rule upgrade gem x1.] [emperor-level cultivation technique upgrade gem: a mysterious gem that can upgrade an emperor-level cultivation technique to a saint-level cultivation technique.] [intermediate rule upgrade gem: a mysterious gem that can upgrade an intermediate law to an advanced law.] seeing this, lin fan¡¯s eyes lit up. these were good treasures! lin fan muttered to himself for a moment before turning his gaze onto curse. curse was a good way to kill people without them noticing. however, the efficiency was too low. for the past ten years, lin fan had been cursing zhu yan every single day. however, he had never received any notification that zhu yan was affected. it was necessary to upgrade it. [ding! do you wish to use the emperor-level cultivation technique upgrade gem on curse (emperor)?] ¡°yes!¡± [ding! curse has leveled up successfully. curse has leveled up to saint realm.] [do you wish to spend one million spirit stones to curse zhu yan?] if it was in the past, it would be very difficult to take out even one million spirit stones. but now, many forbidden lands had descended on earth, bringing along many spirit veins. on top of that, lin fan had brought over some spirit crystals from the universe. there were also the immortal crystals that he had obtained from the system. the dense spiritual energy that was emitted from them had caused countless new spirit veins to appear on earth. spirit stones¡­ naturally, there was no lack of it. lin fan said without hesitation, ¡°yes!¡± in the inner space, a large number of spirit stones shattered and turned into streaks of light, disappearing without a trace. ¡­ on a planet far away. fire god palace. zhu yan was sitting cross-legged in a purple flame, silently absorbing and refining the fire attribute energy. in the next moment, zhu yan¡¯s body was suffused with wisps of black gas. the purple flames that were originally calm as water kept rolling. zhu yan¡¯s face turned pale. ¡°curse! curse again!¡± moreover, the power of the curse has actually increased by so much. ¡°who is it? who is cursing me?¡± many people with extraordinary strength and status who had grudges or conflicting interests with him appeared in zhu yan¡¯s mind. ¡°the palace lord of water god palace?¡± ¡°the sect master of the 10,000 demons sect?¡± ¡°the sect master of the lightning sect?¡± ¡­ ¡°he kept cursing me more than ten years ago. why did he increase the power of the curse now? he seems to be in a hurry¡­ ¡°the universe competition?¡± as zhu yan said this, a look of realization appeared on his face. ¡°so, you want to mess up my plans for the universe! ¡°since you want chaos, then let this world be completely chaotic!¡± zhu yan¡¯s face was filled with a ferocious aura. his appearance¡­ it was as if he had instantly transformed into a ferocious and hungry wolf, wanting to tear everything into pieces. Chapter 716 - 716 Alliance; Chaos! 716 alliance; chaos! zhu yan¡¯s curse today was only the beginning. after that, he suffered a stronger curse every day. five years later, zhu yan became extremely crazy and violent. he had the urge to destroy everything. not long after, the fire god palace and the demon sect joined forces and launched a fierce attack on the water god palace, the 10,000 demons sect, and the thunder sect. the scope of the battle affected several universes. chaos and blood continued to spread. ¡­ lin fan was completely oblivious to all of this. however, a clear notification sounded in his mind. [ding! your enemy¡¯s demonic will has exploded because of your curse, and his temperament has changed drastically.] when lin fan heard this, his eyes lit up. ¡°after spending so many spirit stones, there¡¯s finally some effect.¡± so many spirit stones? if lin fan¡¯s words were heard by others, who knew what kind of expression they would have. one had to know¡­ in the universe, spirit stones were the lowest and most common cultivation items. generally speaking, one spirit crystal could be exchanged for 100 million spirit stones. this was only the public exchange price. in fact, very few people would exchange for it like this. this was because the pure energy contained in spirit crystals was far beyond that of spirit stones. generally speaking, only 150 million spirit stones or even 200 million spirit stones for one spirit crystal would be considered. ever since he started cursing zhu yan, lin fan had not spent a total of 100 million spirit crystals. as for zhu yan, he was the palace master of the fire god palace. his cultivation base had reached at least the emperor level! such a small price had caused a powerhouse at least at the emperor level to develop a demonic nature. it had to be said that the power of the saint-level curse was truly shocking. lin fan was still complaining? in order to appease the dissatisfaction in his heart, lin fan cursed zhu yan. ¡­ on the other hand, in the distant starry sky. the higher-ups of the water god palace, the 10,000 demons sect, and the thunder sect gathered together. ¡°120 planets of our 10,000 demons sect have already been attacked.¡± ¡°48 planets of our thunder sect has been destroyed.¡± ¡°forget about the demon sect, have all the people from the fire god palace gone crazy?¡± ¡°do they really think they can take down all three of us? who gave them the confidence?¡± ¡°i propose to form an alliance of the water god palace, the 10,000 demons sect, and the thunder sect to fight against the fire god palace and the demon sect.¡± ¡°agreed!¡± ¡°agreed!¡± ¡­ an even more intense chaos continued to spread. ¡­ ten years passed in a flash. in the past ten years, lin fan had obtained five immortal crystals, four transcendence golden bodies, three king-level equipment, and two emperor-level equipment from the system. lin fan frowned. ¡°it¡¯s been so long. i¡¯m still so close to breaking through to level-nine universe. that¡¯s too slow.¡± too slow? if others heard this, who knew what kind of expression they would have? one had to know¡­ a few decades ago, lin fan was just an ordinary star traveller-level cultivator. such a cultivation speed was simply faster than sitting on a rocket. at this moment, a clear notification sounded in his mind. [ding! it¡¯s been 95 years since you¡¯ve obtained the advanced system. rewards: intermediate rule upgrade gem x 1, immortal crystal x 1, transcendence golden body x 1.] when lin fan saw the intermediate rule upgrade gem, his heart skipped a beat. he suddenly remembered that he had also obtained one more than ten years ago. however, he had always forgotten to use it. now, they could be used together. he slowly focused his attention on life laws and death laws. [ding, upgrade successful!] instantly, lin fan had a deeper understanding of life and death. with a wave of his hand, a white energy filled with vitality and a black energy filled with death appeared in front of him. the white energy kept condensing and transforming. small, nimble people appeared. the black energy kept twisting, turning into a hideous demon. it was very strange. ¡°whoosh!¡± lin fan waved his hand once more, and the white energy and black energy dissipated. then, with a slight thought, he directly entered the river of time. he took a step forward and walked on the path of death. 100 meters. 500 meters. 100 meters. 3,000 meters. 5,000 meters. ¡­ as he walked farther away, the pressure on lin fan¡¯s body started to increase. at 7,200 meters, he finally stopped. then, he took a step to the left and walked on the life path. 100 meters. 500 meters. 1,000 meters. 3,000 meters. 5,000 meters. 6,000 meters. just as lin fan was starting to feel a little tired, a crisp voice suddenly sounded behind him. ¡°huh? your comprehension of life laws has actually reached such a level?¡± when lin fan heard the voice, he turned around slowly. he saw a woman with a graceful figure, snow-white skin, and exquisite facial features beside him. it was kathleen from the temple of life. ¡°a super genius who¡¯s less than 2,000 years old¡­¡± kathleen used her beautiful eyes to size up lin fan. after a while, she said, ¡°lin fan, are you willing to join the temple of life? with your talent, you can definitely become the disciple of the temple master.¡± lin fan shook his head. ¡°i¡¯m sorry, i don¡¯t have any plans to take anyone as my master.¡± many people wanted to take a master because they wanted to obtain cultivation techniques, legacies, resources, and so on. however, lin fan did not lack these. on the contrary, becoming a disciple would also cause him to lose his freedom. since that was the case, lin fan naturally would not choose to take a master. ¡°lin fan, don¡¯t be so quick to reject me. you might not know much about the temple of life. the temple master is an emperor-level powerhouse! ¡°now, the fire god palace and the demon sect have joined forces to attack the water god palace, the 10,000 demons sect, and the thunder sect. this has caused many universes to fall into chaos, but the temple of life has not been affected at all. ¡°because the founder of the temple of life is a high and mighty saint lord! ¡°if you join the temple of life, it¡¯ll be easier for you to attract the attention of the saint lords.¡± obviously, kathleen thought highly of lin fan. otherwise, she would not have explained so much. lin fan could feel kathleen¡¯s anticipation. however, he still shook his head and said, ¡°sorry, i prefer to be free.¡± saint lord¡­ it was undoubtedly an extremely powerful existence. the stronger they were, the more they would restrict others. furthermore, lin fan was confident that he could reach the level of a saint lord as well. why should he be restricted by others? kathleen seemed to have noticed lin fan¡¯s confidence and could not help but take another look at him. after a moment, she said, ¡°since that¡¯s the case, i¡¯ll teach you some comprehension and cultivation techniques of life laws. i hope you can walk farther and farther on the path of life.¡± after saying that, she stretched out her slender finger and tapped lin fan¡¯s forehead lightly. instantly, lin fan¡¯s mind was filled with many complicated and profound life attribute insights. at the same time, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! kathleen¡¯s favorability toward you has increased to five stars.] when lin fan heard the voice, he came back to his senses. ¡°see you next time,¡± kathleen said with a smile. as soon as she finished speaking, she quickly walked away along the life path. Chapter 717 - 717 Zhu Yans Death; Curse! 717 zhu yan¡¯s death; curse! lin fan looked at kathleen¡¯s back as she left, and a strange look appeared on his face. back then, when he rejected zhu yan, the other party directly generated five stars of hatred toward him. now, he had also rejected kathleen, but she had developed a five-star favorability of him? lin fan touched his nose and thought, ¡°indeed, handsome men are more popular with women.¡± then, he walked forward as well. after getting kathleen¡¯s help, lin fan¡¯s journey on the life path was much easier. when he reached 8,100 meters, he had no choice but to stop because of the pressure. following that, he walked on the paths of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, yin, yang, and so on. he had a deeper understanding of all the laws. ¡°phew!¡± after lin fan left the river of time, he let out a breath of air, causing the entire earth to be filled with a refreshing breeze. it was extremely comfortable. his cultivation had increased greatly again. then, he turned his attention back to curse and zhu yan. [do you want to spend one million spirit stones to curse zhu yan?] ¡°yes!¡± in the inner space, one million spirit stones were directly turned into ashes. ¡­ on the other hand¡­ in the endless starry sky. zhu yan, the demon sect¡¯s sect master, the water god palace¡¯s palace master, the 10,000 demon sect¡¯s sect master, and the thunder sect¡¯s sect master were fighting fiercely together. the space shattered, and the wind howled. the terrifying aftershock of the battle turned the area within hundreds of thousands of miles into nothingness. it had to be said that zhu yan and the demon sect¡¯s master¡¯s strength was indeed extraordinary. it was two against three, but they were not at a disadvantage. in fact, they even suppressed the other party. just as zhu yan was about to use his ultimate move to heavily injure the palace master of water god palace¡­ at this moment, zhu yan¡¯s body suddenly emitted a terrifying black aura. this black gas was like a devil that tightly wrapped around him, causing his face to turn black and white. he could not help but let out a painful howl. in a battle between experts, even the slightest mistake could lead to great danger. the palace master of water god palace naturally would not miss this opportunity. he mobilized his energy and shot out several water columns that were tens of thousands of meters thick from the dimensional space. like laser beams, they bombarded zhu yan from all directions. zhu yan spat out a mouthful of blood. the armor on his body cracked and shattered. he was like a deflated ball, completely dispirited. when the demon sect¡¯s sect master saw this, his body froze slightly. the sect masters of 10,000 demons sect and the thunder sect seized the opportunity and attacked him together. the sect master of the demon sect had no choice but to dodge in a panic. his figure flashed as he directly arrived beside zhu yan. he shouted in a low voice, ¡°let¡¯s go!¡± the two of them leaped up and disappeared into the endless void. although they had won, the palace master of water god palace and the sect masters of the 10,000 demons sect and the thunder sect did not look too happy. the three of them looked at each other and started discussing. ¡°did you see that just now?¡± ¡°zhu yan seems to have been cursed.¡± ¡°possessing the power to curse zhu yan¡­ who exactly is it?¡± the three of them fell into a short silence. although they did not want to admit it, zhu yan was indeed stronger than them. if that person could curse zhu yan, then they could also curse them. an existence that hid in the dark and possessed powerful curse power was very terrifying. ¡­ at this moment, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! your enemy, zhu yan, was greatly affected by your curse and was attacked by an expert. he¡¯s seriously injured.] when lin fan heard that, his lips curled up. ¡°he¡¯s finally seriously injured. i have to continue working hard!¡± the next day, he cursed zhu yan as scheduled. on the third day, he continued to curse him. ¡­ in the blink of an eye, a year had passed. in the endless starry sky, in fire god palace. zhu yan¡¯s body was suddenly filled with endless black gas, and his entire body kept twisting. he was like a ferocious beast, roaring crazily. ¡°ah! ¡°who is it? who¡¯s the one cursing?! ¡°sect master of the demon sect!¡± zhu yan seemed to have figured everything out. that was right! it must be him! he cursed him, forcing him to form an alliance with him and attack the water god palace, the 10,000 demons sect, and the thunder sect. no wonder the sect master of the demon sect agreed to his request so easily! zhu yan shouted crazily, ¡°he cursed me, causing me to have demonic thoughts in my heart and my soul to shatter! i¡¯ll use all my life and energy as the price to curse the master of the demon sect!¡± his voice spread wildly, rippling through the entire universe, attracting the attention of countless people. then, zhu yan turned into a huge fireball and rushed up. in the end, he exploded in the air like a huge firework. dazzling, resplendent, and flowing lights shot in all directions. countless planets shook crazily. seeing this¡­ all the fire god palace disciples knelt on the ground dejectedly. then, someone shouted loudly. ¡°i¡¯m irreconcilable with the demon sect!¡± ¡°we must kill the members of the demon sect!¡± ¡°kill the demon sect!¡± ¡­ in fact, zhu yan¡¯s voice not only aroused the hatred of the fire god palace disciples. it had also caused the water god palace, the 10,000 demons sect, the thunder sect, and many other large factions to target the demon sect. firstly, the water god palace, the 10,000 demons sect, and the thunder sect had a grudge against the demon sect. secondly, since the demon sect could curse zhu yan to death, they could definitely curse them to death too. this unknown and terrifying power must be killed! hence, the demon sect, which was already ostracized by many factions, directly became the target of everyone. branches were destroyed one after another, and planets would be occupied one by one¡­ for a moment, the demon sect seemed to have become a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone. this change caught the demon sect off guard. many higher-ups were forced to hold an emergency meeting. ¡°nearly a third of our demon sect¡¯s base has been destroyed. we¡¯ve suffered heavy losses!¡± ¡°right now, it¡¯s very difficult for our demon sect to recruit new disciples.¡± ¡°recruit new disciples? recently, a large number of old disciples are about to leave the sect.¡± ¡­ when the people from the demon sect said this, they all frowned. this was definitely the greatest crisis the demon sect had faced in countless years. ¡°sect master, have you really mastered the powerful curse?¡± someone suddenly asked. when everyone heard this, they all looked at the tall sect master, whose facial features were hidden in the black fog. ¡°no.¡± the sect master sighed. he was also very helpless. back then, it was zhu yan who had taken the initiative to look for him. he wanted to join forces with him to deal with the water god palace, the 10,000 demons sect, and the thunder sect. the demon sect had a great hatred for these sects to begin with. therefore, he did not hesitate at all and agreed immediately. in the beginning, the master of the demon sect was also on guard. he was worried that zhu yan was pretending to cooperate. however, as time passed, he realized that zhu yan really wanted to deal with the water god palace, the 10,000 demons sect, and the thunder sect. in fact, his actions were quite similar to the demon sect. hence, the master of the demon sect gradually relaxed. who would have thought that zhu yan would actually do such a thing before he died? Chapter 718 - 718 First to Kill an Emperor-Level Expert; Lin Yulians Dream 718 first to kill an emperor-level expert; lin yulian¡¯s dream the master of the demon sect felt that he had been tricked miserably. it felt as if he had gotten the hot potato. when the people from the demon sect heard this, they sighed. if their sect master really had such a powerful curse technique, they would not think much of it even if the demon sect was in such a great crisis. this was because his power would be enough to eliminate all dangers. ¡­ earth, coiling dragon villa. lin fan, who was in the middle of his cultivation, suddenly heard a crisp notification in his mind. [ding! your enemy, zhu yan, died because of your curse.] [ding! congratulations on being the first to kill an emperor-level expert. you¡¯ve received the rainbow immortal robe x1, transcendence golden body x1, and immortal crystal x1.] [rainbow immortal robe: emperor-level equipment. it has a powerful defense that can withstand attacks below the emperor-level.] seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s eyes lit up. it was another emperor-level equipment. at this moment, there was a knock on the door. lin fan sensed it and knew that it was his daughter, lin yulian. therefore, he opened his mouth and said, ¡°come in.¡± lin yulian walked in. lin yulian had become a graceful beauty. she had a slender and tall figure and a ruddy face that was somewhat similar to hu tian¡¯s. she was very beautiful and cute. ¡°yulian, why are you here?¡± lin fan asked dotingly. ¡°i haven¡¯t seen you in a long time. i miss you.¡± lin yulian giggled. after saying that, she wrapped her arms around lin fan¡¯s neck. the father-daughter pair chatted for a while, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. ¡°dad, i¡¯ve been having a dream recently,¡± lin yulian said. lin fan¡¯s heart skipped a beat, but his expression did not change. he asked, ¡°oh? what kind of dream?¡± ¡°in the dream, it seems like i¡¯m supposed to find something. it seems to be quite important,¡± lin yulian said. ¡°i searched for a long time, but i couldn¡¯t find it.¡± at this point, lin yulian could not help but frown slightly, as if she was still troubled because she had not found it. lin fan said, ¡°it¡¯s just a dream. don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± ¡°yes, yes.¡± lin yulian nodded. after lin yulian left, lin fan whispered, ¡°system, what¡¯s wrong with yulian?¡± [the answer requires one million spirit stones. do you wish to inquire?] ¡°yes!¡± [the trump card left behind by the immortal phoenix before it reincarnated can allow it to possess strength that surpasses its previous life and its enemies.] ¡°what¡¯s the trump card?¡± [unknown.] lin fan could not help but frown. he could only put this matter aside for now. in the blink of an eye, a year had passed. on this day, lin yulian knocked on lin fan¡¯s door once again. lin yulian¡¯s originally rosy face was now slightly pale, and her mental state was extremely poor. lin fan walked in front of lin yulian and asked, ¡°yulian, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°dad, i keep having the same dream about looking for something again. moreover, i often have difficulty breathing, and my energy is chaotic because i can¡¯t find it¡­¡± lin yulian said weakly. as she spoke, her body went limp, and she fell to the ground. lin fan hurriedly stretched out his hand and transferred a large amount of life force. after a while, lin yulian slowly opened her eyes. ¡°yulian, are you alright?¡± lin fan asked with concern. lin yulian shook her head. then, she looked up at the blue sky and said, ¡°dad, i think i can feel where the thing i¡¯m looking for is.¡± she quietly looked up at the sky, her beautiful eyes filled with yearning. lin fan did not say anything immediately. instead, he asked the system in his heart. ¡®if yulian doesn¡¯t go and find that thing, will it affect her?¡¯ [the answer requires one million spirit stones. do you wish to inquire?] ¡°yes!¡± [if her energy becomes more chaotic, she¡¯ll eventually die! the treasure left behind by the immortal phoenix contains a wisp of her true yang soul. if she doesn¡¯t fuse with it, she¡¯ll die without her true yang.] when lin fan heard this, his face sank. ¡°dad, can i go look for that thing?¡± lin yulian asked. lin fan was silent. qiu ziqian walked over from afar. looking at lin fan¡¯s silent expression, she understood immediately. she said, ¡°lin fan, it¡¯s not convenient for you to leave earth. let yulian and i go search for it.¡± for the past year, qiu ziqian had seen her daughter suffering from nightmares every day. she was anxious. lin fan thought for a moment and said, ¡°you guys should take ownership of these things and use your souls to contact me.¡± he really could not leave earth. this was because earth was like a huge treasure trove. once he left, it would be extremely dangerous if a powerful enemy attacked. after saying that, lin fan handed over the rainbow immortal robe, true qilin armor, and myriad dawn boots. the rainbow immortal robe and the true qilin armor could both block attacks below the emperor level. as for the myriad dawn boots, they could allow the wearer¡¯s speed to reach the emperor level. with these three treasures, they should be enough to ensure their safety. qiu ziqian and lin yulian sensed the mysterious aura from the three treasures and knew that they were extraordinary treasures. they did not decline. this was because they knew that they might encounter some danger this time. if something happened to them, lin fan would be very sad. the next day, after everyone in the coiling dragon villa gathered for a sumptuous lunch, qiu ziqian and lin yulian soared into the sky and instantly turned into light spots, flying straight into the vast universe. right now, qiu ziqian and lin yulian had already reached the star traveller level. traveling in space was not a difficult thing for them. xia bing, xia xue, su ningjing, lin xiaoyao, and the others originally wanted to go with qiu ziqian and lin yulian. however, qiu ziqian and lin yulian politely rejected him. this was because they did not know how long they would be gone for. in addition, they did not want to bring more people into danger. therefore, at this moment, xia bing, xia xue, su ningjing, lin xiaoyao, and the others could only quietly watch qiu ziqian¡¯s and lin yulian¡¯s departing figures from the coiling dragon villa. at the same time, they silently prayed for them in their hearts. five years passed in a flash. in the past five years, lin fan had focused even more on cultivation. he wanted to have stronger power as soon as possible so that he could better protect his family and the earth. just like five years ago¡­ in lin fan¡¯s opinion, if he had enough strength, he could teleport to where the immortal phoenix was hiding. why would he need qiu ziqian and lin yulian to risk their lives in the universe? just like decades ago¡­ if lin fan had enough power, he could easily bring lin chengzhen back. on this day¡­ a gust of wind suddenly appeared on the originally peaceful earth, causing all the trees to sway left and right. the clothes of countless people rustled. in the next moment¡­ in the east, a golden light that was like the sun continued to rise and spread, enveloping the entire sky and the entire world in golden light. in the next moment, a boundless aura that made people want to kneel and worship spread across the entire earth. lin fan, who was at the center of the golden light, let out a muffled groan. ¡°breakthrough!¡± Chapter 719 - 719 Advancement; Saint-Level Defense Array! 719 advancement; saint-level defense array! the golden light that filled the sky kept twisting and gathering. gradually, it turned into the shadow of lin fan, who was over 10,000 feet tall and high up in the sky. a powerful aura like that of a god, an immortal, and a king rolled down. all of the living beings could not help but kneel down on the ground as a sense of respect toward lin fan welled up in their hearts. lin fan had broken through to the king level! at the same time, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations on breaking through to the king level. you¡¯ve obtained nine revolutions defense array, transcendence golden body x 5, saint crystal x 1.] lin fan looked at the five transcendence golden bodies in front of him and nodded. then, his gaze fell on the saint crystal. [saint crystal: a mysterious crystal that contains surging pure energy. after absorbing it, it can increase the cultivation aptitude of living beings and quickly increase their cultivation.] all lin fan could see were countless gigantic white spirit dragons that were soaring high up in the air. they were swimming and circling around the saint crystal, giving off an endless amount of energy. lin fan could sense that the energy contained within this saint crystal was over 10,000 times that of an immortal crystal. the purity of the energy was even higher than that of an immortal crystal! with this saint crystal, lin fan believed that he would be able to cultivate even faster. then, he placed his attention on the nine revolutions defense array. [nine revolutions defense array: a saint-level array. it has a defensive array that can defend against the attacks of a saint lord.] seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s eyes lit up. soon, the universe competition would officially begin. this was a large-scale competition that had attracted the attention of the saint lords. there was no doubt that the formation would be extremely terrifying. it might even trigger a battle between the saint lords. a while ago, lin fan was really worried about this. now, he could finally relax a little. following that, lin fan took out a few million spirit stones, a few thousand spirit crystals, ten immortal crystals, and the only saint crystal according to the nine revolutions defense formation in his mind. he placed them in every corner of the earth in a specific location and method. then, he quickly drew out extremely complicated talismans. in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. on this day, circles of mysterious talismans rippled and spread across the entire earth, causing countless people to exclaim and take pictures. in the end, the talismans all disappeared. at the same time, all the living beings felt an unprecedented sense of security. nine revolutions defense array, complete! lin fan slowly opened the door, and a refreshing breeze blew out. hu tian, su ningjing, xia bing, xia xue, and the others walked over. ¡°lin fan, you¡¯ve broken through?¡± lin fan smiled and nodded. ¡°that¡¯s right. i¡¯ve broken through a realm.¡± when everyone heard this, they all revealed looks of joy. the person they liked was getting stronger and stronger. then, everyone had a sumptuous lunch and a happy and relaxed night. the next day, lin fan returned to his room and sat down cross-legged. however, he did not immediately enter the state of cultivation. instead, he opened the system interface. [host: lin fan] [cultivation: level-one king] [skills: sword 81 (emperor), curse (saint), sword nurturing technique (emperor), universe sword technique (emperor)¡­] [equipment: star meteorite sword (emperor), flame armor (emperor), heavenly soul pearl (emperor), true dragon sword (emperor)¡­] [laws: time (intermediate), space (intermediate), metal (intermediate), wood (intermediate), water (intermediate), fire (advanced), earth (intermediate), life (advanced), death (advanced), yin (intermediate), yang (intermediate), wind (intermediate)] [character relationship:] [lin tao: dad; favorability: ten stars] [dai weixue: mom; favorability: ten stars] [lin xiaoyao: sister; favorability: ten stars] [xia xue: dao companion; favorability: ten stars] [xia bing: dao companion; favorability: ten stars] when lin fan¡¯s gaze landed on his relationship, he suddenly realized that lin chengzhen¡¯s name was faintly discernible. seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s heart tightened. based on his past experience, lin fan knew that lin chengzhen was in danger. however, lin fan did not use his soul to communicate with lin chengzhen immediately. he just looked at his name silently. that was because lin fan did not know if he would affect lin chengzhen if he used his soul to communicate with him now, putting him in an even more dangerous situation. a day later, lin chengzhen¡¯s name finally stabilized. another day passed, and lin chengzhen¡¯s name did not change. hence, lin fan used his soul connection. ¡°chengzhen,¡± lin fan called out softly. after a while, lin chengzhen began to respond. ¡°dad!¡± his voice was very loud. lin fan asked, ¡°chengzhen, how have you been in the dark universe recently?¡±¡± ¡°it¡¯s pretty good!¡± lin chengzhen said. then, he said happily, ¡°dad, do you know? i¡¯m already at the fifth level of the star traveller realm! moreover, it won¡¯t be long before i can break through to the sixth level!¡± one had to know¡­ before lin chengzhen left earth, he had not reached the star traveller level. right now, he was already at the fifth level. it had to be said that his improvement was truly astonishing. ¡°not bad,¡± lin fan said. ¡°if there¡¯s anything, feel free to tell me.¡± ¡°okay, dad,¡± lin chengzhen said. ¡°i¡¯ll teach you some cultivation techniques now,¡± lin fan said. hence, lin fan passed on the two king-level techniques he had obtained from the system a while ago, the primordial fist and the god slaying spear, to lin chengchen. it was not that lin fan was not willing to impart more and stronger skills to lin chengzhen. it was because lin chengzhen was too weak now. other cultivation techniques were not suitable for him. moreover, he could not learn them. lin chengzhen even had a hard time learning these two techniques. lin fan said, ¡°do you remember it?¡± ¡°i do!¡± lin chengzhen said happily. ¡°alright, train well in the dark universe and be careful,¡± lin fan said. ¡°okay, dad,¡± lin chengzhen said. the soul communication ended here. ¡­ in the dark universe. on a jagged cliff. ¡°chengzhen, you¡¯re finally awake. what happened to you just now?¡± li hao asked. ¡°my dad was just communicating with me,¡± lin chengzhen said. the two of them were now more than twice as tall as they were on earth. their bodies were full of muscles that were like iron lumps. lin chengzhen¡¯s originally black hair had turned scarlet, and coupled with the ferocious knife marks, he looked a little terrifying. ¡°my dad taught me two very powerful cultivation techniques. i think they¡¯re at least at the universe level!¡± ¡°universe-level cultivation techniques?¡± li hao was shocked. ¡°f*ck! cheng zhen, where did your dad get such powerful cultivation techniques? ¡°could it be that he¡¯s already a universe-level warrior?¡± at this point, li hao¡¯s tone became even more excited. they had been living in the dark universe for decades, so they were very clear what the universe level represented. ¡°i don¡¯t know.¡± lin chengzhen shook his head. Chapter 720 - 720 Teaching; Setting Up! 720 teaching; setting up! ¡°did your dad say when he¡¯ll come and save us?¡± li hao asked. ¡°i didn¡¯t tell dad about our current situation,¡± lin chengzhen said. pausing, he continued, ¡°even if my dad is really a universe-level warrior, this is the dark universe¡­ you know as well that we used a one-time one-way teleportation array at that time. if dad wants to come from earth, i¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll take at least 10,000 years.¡± ¡°also, even if dad really comes over, that moses is a level-nine universe master. besides, moses has a king-level giant behind him.¡± level-nine universe, king-level giant! these existences were like mountains pressing down on them, making them unable to breathe. hearing this, li hao sighed slightly and said, ¡°that¡¯s true. ¡°chengzhen, you were right not to tell your dad.¡± ¡°let¡¯s practice the cultivation method that my dad taught first.¡± lin chengzhen nodded. ¡°even though the dark universe is dangerous, the spiritual energy is extremely pure and abundant. with these techniques, we might be able to break through to the domain lord level very quickly!¡± ¡°alright!¡± li hao said. speaking of the domain lord level, li hao¡¯s entire body became excited and filled with anticipation. ¡­ earth, coiling dragon villa. after hearing lin chengzhen¡¯s words, lin fan did not feel at ease. on the contrary, the worry on his face became even more intense. this was because his son was only reporting the good news and not the bad news. he was probably afraid that he would worry. the more it was like this, the worse the situation was. he had to think of a way to help his son. lin fan shifted his eyes. after a while, he turned his attention to ma zheng. ma zheng was the star lord of hong planet. back then, under the invitation of star lord qing song, ma zheng and lin fan entered the secret realm together to resolve the bug queen crisis. later on, the two of them entered the heavenly wind world together and obtained great benefits. after that, ma zheng was attacked by the bug queen and saved by lin fan. from that, he had a good impression of lin fan. after that, lin fan never contacted ma zheng again. now, perhaps he could try a few times and make some arrangements. hence, lin fan used his soul to communicate with ma zheng. ¡°ma zheng.¡± ¡­ in a spacious cultivation room, ma zheng suddenly opened his eyes. his face was filled with excitement as he called out, ¡°senior lin?¡± ¡°it¡¯s me. how¡¯s your cultivation recently?¡± lin fan asked. ¡°thanks to your help, i¡¯ve already reached the fifth level of the planet realm!¡± ma zheng said excitedly. one had to know¡­ when he first entered the heavenly wind world, ma zheng was only at the first level of the planet realm. in just a few decades, he had already reached the fifth level of the planet realm! the speed of his breakthrough could not be considered slow. no wonder he was so excited. lin fan said, ¡°level-five planet? you¡¯re too weak. i¡¯ll teach you a king-level cultivation technique now. hopefully, that¡¯ll speed up your breakthrough.¡± king-level cultivation technique? even though lin fan was not in front of him. however, ma zheng still knelt on the ground and said in an extremely serious tone, ¡°senior lin, from today onward, you¡¯re my master. i¡¯m willing to serve you with no regrets even if i die!¡± ma zheng was a very smart person. no merit, no reward. as for a legendary thing like a king-level cultivation technique, he was simply unable to take out something that matched it. he could only sacrifice himself! ¡°alright!¡± lin fan said. ¡°i¡¯ll give you a mission now. join a large faction and continuously obtain greater power!¡± ¡°yes, sir!¡± ma zheng said respectfully. ¡°yes, the cultivation technique i¡¯m teaching you is called the primordial fist,¡± lin fan said. after a series of explanation and teaching, ma zheng finally remembered the primordial fist in his heart. the soul communication ended here. ma zheng, who was sitting in the cultivation room, slowly opened his eyes. his face revealed unconcealable joy. it was not just because he had obtained a king-level skill, but it was also because he had become lin fan¡¯s man. back then, when ma zheng and lin fan entered the heavenly wind world together, he already knew that lin fan was extremely powerful. later on, ma zheng was chased by the bug queen. however, she died not long after. later on, the father of the bug queen, the king of the bug realm, also died suddenly. although ma zheng did not know how the bug queen and her father died, he had a feeling that these two things were related to lin fan. to be able to kill two super powerful beings across space, just how strong was lin fan? in ma zheng¡¯s heart, lin fan was already a supreme existence that had transcended the world. it was his destiny to work for such an existence. that was right! it was an opportunity! ¡­ after lin fan ended his conversation with ma zheng, he entered his cultivation state once again. three years passed in a flash. in the past three years, lin fan had obtained three immortal crystals, two transcendence golden bodies, and one emperor-level skill from the system. at the same time, his cultivation had also increased to a certain extent. on this day, lin fan heaved a sigh of relief. then, he glanced at the system¡¯s interpersonal relationships. this was something that lin fan had been doing for the past few years. he wanted to know the situation of his family. everything was normal. just as lin fan was about to retract his gaze, he suddenly saw qiu ziqian¡¯s and lin yulian¡¯s names flashing. they had encountered danger! lin fan¡¯s face turned cold as he stared at their names. fortunately¡­ their names only flashed for a few minutes before returning to normal. however, lin fan still had to wait for an entire day before he could communicate with them. ¡°ziqian, yulian, what happened yesterday?¡± lin fan asked. ¡°a few days ago, we were accidentally seen by someone,¡± qiu ziqian said. ¡°then, we were intercepted. fortunately, we managed to get rid of them for the time being.¡± lin fan said, ¡°do you know who intercepted you?¡± ¡°i heard them say that their master seems to be called lord kadin,¡± qiu ziqian said. lin fan nodded his head and said, ¡°how is yulian¡¯s health now?¡± ¡°dad, i only have that dream occasionally now. my body is much better than before. in addition, my cultivation has also started to increase!¡± lin yulian said happily. lin fan said, ¡°that¡¯s good¡­¡± the family of three chatted for a while more before ending their soul communication. lin fan turned to the system and said, ¡°can i curse kadin, who intercepted qiu ziqian and lin yulian?¡± [the answer requires 10,000 spirit stones. do you wish to inquire?] ¡°yes!¡± [you can curse him.] [kadin: level-five universe cultivator. he¡¯s the sect master of the thunderbolt sect. because his subordinate discovered that qiu ziqian and lin yulian had treasures, he has the intention of snatching them and killing them.] snatching treasures? killing them? seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s face turned cold. [do you wish to use 1,000,000 spirit stones to curse kadin?] ¡°yes!¡± lin fan said without hesitation. instantly, a large number of spirit stones stored in the inner space shattered and turned into streams of light that disappeared. Chapter 721 - 721 Powerful Curse; Master! 721 powerful curse; master! thunderbolt sect. the tall kadin was lying on his side on a beast leather chair, hugging a beautiful woman and drinking fine wine. he would occasionally let out a carefree laugh. when kadin drank another glass of fine wine, his body suddenly suffused with dense black gas. kadin¡¯s entire body kept twisting, and then he let out a beast-like roar, bursting out with a powerful force. the beauty beside him burst like a bubble, turning into a bloody mist that filled the sky. the changes here quickly attracted the attention of the people from the thunderbolt sect. when they saw kadin¡¯s pained expression, they could not help but exclaim in horror, ¡°sect master, what¡¯s wrong?¡± however, kadin was not in the mood to answer. his eyes were bloodshot as he kept turning his head. then, he kept swinging his fists and palms in all directions. one after another, the disciples of the thunderbolt sect were blasted into nothingness. they were so frightened that they kept running and screaming from time to time. ¡°sect master has gone crazy!¡± ¡°the sect master has gone mad!¡± ¡°everyone, be careful!¡± their running and shouting seemed to have aroused kadin¡¯s interest in killing. kadin kept swinging his saber, bursting out with a mighty gale. he formed ferocious ravines on the ground. a moment later, kadin seemed to have used up all his strength, and his figure suddenly stopped. then, like a deflated balloon, he fell straight to the ground and lost all his vitality. kadin was dead! the entire thunderbolt sect was completely destroyed. qiu ziqian¡¯s and lin yulian¡¯s crisis was resolved. ¡­ earth, coiling dragon villa. a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! kadin has been cursed by you and has five-star hatred toward you.] [ding! kadin was cursed by you and died because of his inner demons and broken soul.] [ding! you got the first kill of a level-five universe cultivator. you¡¯ve obtained 5,000,000 experience points.] when lin fan heard that, he was stunned for a moment. then, he revealed a smile. he had only cursed for a day. he did not expect kadin to die just like that. in fact, this was normal. one had to know¡­ the current curse was at the saint level. even saint lords could be cursed. kadin was only a level-five universe cultivator, so how could he possibly resist? from now on, would he curse his enemies every time? lin fan frowned. after all, curse could only be used once a day. the number of his enemies¡­ was unknown. he slowly raised his head and looked outside the coiling dragon villa. the coiling dragon villa had displayed miracles several times in a row, and many rumors had already formed on earth. it was said that immortals lived in the coiling dragon villa. it was said that there was a saint in the coiling dragon villa. there were also people who said that the coiling dragon villa was the residence of the great man, lin fan. ¡­ it was precisely because of these rumors that more and more people came to the coiling dragon villa. some of them had encountered difficulties and wanted to ask lin fan for help. some were curious¡­ lin fan had long since known about this. however, he never paid any attention to it. but now, his thoughts had changed. perhaps he could recruit some people and form his own force to better protect his family and the earth. after all these years of research and development, lin fan had gained a certain level of understanding of heavenly eyes. now, not only could heavenly eyes see the weaknesses of his enemies, but he could also use the safest and fastest way to deal with them. in addition, he could also see the talent of others in various laws. lin fan swept his gaze over. not long after, he discovered a man with a soaring sword energy hidden within his body and a man with a raging flame suppressed in his heart. both of them were extremely talented in sword and fire laws. even lin fan¡¯s eyes lit up when he caught sight of them. ¡°how did i fail to discover them in the past¡­ if they¡¯re properly nurtured, perhaps they might really have some effect.¡± at this moment, these two men were just like many people who wanted lin fan to show his spirit. they knelt down quietly on the ground. after kowtowing for a long time, there was no response. some people gradually became suspicious and discussed from time to time. ¡°are there any immortals in this coiling dragon villa?¡± ¡°is it any use for us to kneel down like this?¡± ¡°i¡¯ll leave after kneeling for another afternoon.¡± ¡°it¡¯s better to rely on ourselves than others. let¡¯s go!¡± ¡­ some people began to have doubts about the coiling dragon villa because of everyone¡¯s discussion. they slowly stood up and walked into the distance. a short and thin man said, ¡°li ke, we¡¯ve been kneeling for more than half a month, but there¡¯s no response at all. let¡¯s go back.¡± li ke shook his head and said, ¡°you can go back. i can only obtain a chance at cultivating with him¡­ if he really exists.¡± the short and thin man looked at li ke¡¯s serious expression and knew that it was useless to persuade him. he sighed and said, ¡°alright, then i¡¯ll go back first.¡± ¡­ on the other hand, the medium-sized qin menghu heard the discussions of the people around him and had the idea of leaving. just as he was hesitating whether to get up¡­ a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in the sky. dazzling and resplendent, it was like a golden sun that had suddenly appeared in the sky. it was lin fan. when everyone saw him, the entire scene fell silent. after a while, the people started kowtowing again. ¡°please help me.¡± ¡°please accept me as your disciple.¡± ¡°i beg you¡­¡± lin fan looked at li ke and qin menghu, who were kowtowing like most people, and said, ¡°come in.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and tapped lightly. li ke and qin menghu flew into the air like balloons and quickly headed toward the coiling dragon villa. this scene attracted the attention of many people. the divine being in the coiling dragon villa had appeared! suddenly, more and more people from all over the world gathered. they wanted to use their sincerity to move lin fan. they wanted him to help them fulfill their wishes so that they could go to greater heights. regarding these¡­ lin fan did not care at all. after he brought li ke and qin menghu into the coiling dragon villa, he taught them a few simple cultivation methods. then, he said to lil stone, ¡°when you have time, guide them.¡± lil stone agreed. after lin fan left, li ke and qin menghu could no longer hide their joy. their faces were all smiles. they felt that in the coiling dragon villa, they were constantly getting stronger with every breath they took. in addition to the cultivation method that lin fan had taught them, they were confident that they could reach a height that they could never reach before. lil stone looked at the two happy people and coughed lightly. he said, ¡°you two, come with me.¡± Chapter 722 - 722 Big Brother; Mission Failed! 722 big brother; mission failed! all along, little rock had been treated like a child. now that two new people had arrived, he felt like he had become an adult. little rock brought li ke and qin menghu to the path-understanding tree and sat down. when they approached the path-understanding tree, their bodies immediately became ethereal and comfortable. the energy in his body surged like a river and continued to grow. their faces were filled with surprise and fanaticism. cultivation¡­ if he cultivated here, he would definitely¡­ he could definitely become unimaginably powerful at an unimaginable speed! little rock saw the changes in their expressions and wanted to laugh in his heart. then, he said,¡±you guys can cultivate here. in the future, if you encounter any problems, just call me big brother. then, ask.¡±¡± in the past, whenever he wanted to ask lin yulian about it, she would ask him to call her big sister. all along, little rock had been looking forward to someone asking him questions so that he could be the big brother. now, there was finally hope. li ke and qin menghu were still overjoyed by the rapid increase in energy in their bodies and did not notice this detail at all. ¡°oh right, how should we eat?¡± qin menghu asked.¡± little rock¡¯s face turned stiff.¡± ¡°ah¡­ big¡­big brother.¡± qin menghu said obediently. when little rock heard this, he immediately smiled and said,¡±¡±there are many mutated beasts in the coiling dragon villa. there are many spiritual fruits, spiritual trees, spiritual tea, and spiritual rice that can be eaten.¡± monsters? spiritual fruit? spiritual rice? qin menghu and li ke were shocked again. ¡­. time flew by like water. on this day, lin fan, who was in the midst of his cultivation, suddenly heard a crisp notification in his mind. [ding! [you have chosen to give up the mission: obtained great dao fragment x1, saint crystal x1, transcendence golden body x5, imperial level cultivation technique upgrade gem x1.] when lin fan heard this, he broke out into a smile. ¡°as expected, giving up the mission can also be rewarded. moreover, the reward is quite good.¡± back when the universe competition mission appeared, lin fan was still a little hesitant. the main reason was that the mission rewards were too generous. from the looks of it, giving up wasn¡¯t a bad idea. lin fan nodded towards the five transcendence golden bodies. then, he moved the saint crystals and great dao fragments to the path-understanding tree. ¡°boom!¡± with a soft sound, the ground shook. the pure energy surged like a tsunami. li ke and qin menghu, who were in a state of cultivation, opened their eyes at the same time. their faces revealed a touch of surprise. because, just now¡­they had all absorbed incomparably pure and enormous energy, allowing their cultivation to advance in one fell swoop. ¡°big brother, what happened?¡±qin menghu and li ke said excitedly. ¡°look at your good-for-nothings!¡± little rock said. needless to say, master had broken through!¡± when li ke and qin menghu heard that, they couldn¡¯t help but turn around and look at where lin fan was. their eyes were filled with respect. ¡­. after lin fan woke up from his cultivation state, he did not cultivate again. instead, he placed his attention outside the coiling dragon villa. now, hundreds of thousands of people had gathered around the coiling dragon villa. moreover, the crowd continued to increase as time passed. ever since lin fan appeared and brought li ke and qin menghu into the coiling dragon villa, this place had become a true holy land. regarding this¡­ lin fan was happy to see this happen. he used his heavenly eye to scan the area and soon, his gaze landed on two men and a woman. they had decent death, metal, and life talents respectively. with a flash of his body, lin fan appeared in the air. a powerful aura spread in all directions, as if a king had descended. everyone present knelt on the ground in excitement. with a wave of his hand, lin fan sent the two men and one woman who were kneeling on the ground with the others into the air. ¡°are you willing to follow me?¡± ¡°i¡¯m willing!¡± the three of them spoke in unison, incomparably excited. the current earth had long become a world where the strong were respected. as for lin fan¡­without a doubt, he was the strongest person on earth. following lin fan was something they had always wanted to do. now that it could become reality, how could he refuse? lin fan nodded. with a flash, he brought the three of them into the coiling dragon villa. only hundreds of thousands of people were left, still kowtowing. ¡°little rock, i¡¯ll leave them to you to guide.¡±lin fan said. ¡°yes, master!¡± little rock replied happily.¡± lin fan nodded and returned to his room. the two men and one woman didn¡¯t hear lin fan and little rock¡¯s words clearly. that was because they were all shocked by the dense spiritual energy in the coiling dragon villa. ¡°what are you three standing there for?¡± little rock raised his head. by the way, what are your names?¡± only then did the three of them react. ¡°my name is zheng cong.¡± ¡°my name is song wenxuan.¡± ¡°my name is riemann.¡± little rock nodded.¡± alright, i¡¯ll remember you. i¡¯ll teach you a few simple cultivation methods first. if you don¡¯t understand anything, feel free to ask me!¡± remember to call me big brother!¡± big brother? the three of them looked at each other with strange expressions. however, they still nodded in agreement. ¡­. after lin fan returned to his room, he started to check the character relationships on the system interface. he wanted to know his family¡¯s situation at all times. lin fan¡¯s face turned cold. that was because qiu ziqian and lin yulian¡¯s names were flashing non-stop. they¡­ he had encountered danger again. moreover, it was extremely dangerous! this time, the flickering lasted for a full week before it slowly calmed down. lin fan stared at their names for a week. he waited for another two days before using soul communication on qiu ziqian and lin yulian. ¡°ziqian, yulian, how are you guys doing?¡±lin fan asked. when qiu ziqian and lin yulian heard lin fan¡¯s voice, they were extremely excited. ¡°lin fan!¡± ¡°dad!¡± all these years, the two of them had been following lin yulian¡¯s guidance in her dream and had been on their way. originally, it was considered smooth. however, when she arrived at the destination in her dream, lin yulian realized that the item was gone. therefore, she went to the building to buy information. who knew¡­not long after she asked, she was chased by many demon beasts. if not for the emperor grade equipment that lin fan had given them, they would have probably died long ago. when lin fan heard that, he immediately made a judgment. this was probably done by the enemy of the immortal phoenix in lin yulian¡¯s previous life. after comforting the two for a while, they ended the soul communication. then, lin fan said,¡± system, can i curse the person behind qiu ziqian and lin yulian?¡±¡± [requires 1 million spirit stones. do you wish to inquire?] one million spirit stones? the person behind the scenes was indeed extraordinary. ¡°ask!¡± lin fan said. Chapter 723 - 723 Growing Black Pot; Increasing Favorability! 723 growing black pot; increasing favorability! [too handsome. level 5 martial monarch realm cultivator, myriad demon sect master. lin yulian was the enemy of the immortal phoenix in her previous life. she knew that the immortal phoenix had a backup plan, so she had already planned to wait for the reincarnation of the immortal phoenix to come. now, she suspected that lin yulian was the reincarnation of the immortal phoenix, so she attacked her.] emperor level 5! after zhu yan, this was the second emperor level being who had interacted with lin fan. ever since lin fan became a king level being, he could now check the levels of king and emperor level beings. [do you wish to use one million spirit stones to curse taijun?] lin fan had already cursed zhu yan, who was a monarch level being, to death. now that he was going to curse another one, he would not feel any burden at all. ¡°yes, sir!¡± suddenly, a large number of spirit stones in the inner space shattered and turned into flowing lights that filled the sky and disappeared. ¡­. at this moment, in the thearch palace of the demon region. tai jun sat on the bench, quietly listening to his subordinate¡¯s report. at this moment, a wisp of black gas suddenly spread out from tai jun¡¯s body. he raised his eyebrows and forcefully suppressed the black gas. although the time was very short. however, it also attracted the attention of many people. ¡°i¡¯ve been cursed!¡± tai jun¡¯s expression was ugly as he said.¡± as soon as he said this, the entire hall immediately fell silent. curse! this was definitely the most terrifying thing that had happened. that was because the fire god palace¡¯s palace master, zhu yan, had died due to the curse not long ago. it was also because of the curse that the fire god palace had fallen from a top-tier faction to a second-tier faction. ¡°right now, attacking the demon sect is the top priority!¡± tai jun said in a deep voice.¡± clearly, he thought that the person who cursed him was from the demonic sect. it was no wonder that he would think so. after all, before zhu yan died, he had already announced to the world that the demon sect master had cursed him. such a terrifying curse must have come from the same person. in addition, the ten thousand fey sect had indeed been killing the fiend sects in the past few years. the demon sect master had a reason to deal with him. ¡°yes!¡± the members of the ten thousand demon sect said in unison.¡± therefore, the myriad demon sect launched the most intense encirclement and suppression against the demonic sect. there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. the news of tai jun being cursed by the demon sect master quickly spread. after the water god palace¡¯s palace lord and the lightning sect¡¯s sect master learned of this, they also began to increase their attacks on the fiend sects. that was because unknown and powerful forces were the most terrifying. they were also worried that they would also be cursed by the demon sect master. after the demon sect received the news, they felt like they were eating coptis root in silence. no matter how they explained, no one believed them. the black pot was getting bigger and bigger. ¡­. lin fan didn¡¯t care about any of this at all. he always maintained the rhythm of being too handsome whenever he had free time. five years passed in a flash. ¡°roar!¡± tai jun roared at the sky, bursting out with a powerful gale that sent everyone in the palace flying. his entire person became like a demon king, incomparably ferocious. ¡°kill, kill, kill!¡± ¡°i want to kill everything!¡± ¡­. at this moment, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! [your enemy is too handsome. due to your curse, his inner demons have greatly increased.]] lin fan said softly,¡± finally, the heart demon has grown?¡± as a celebration, let¡¯s have a curse set meal.¡± ¡°whoosh!¡± the one million spiritual stones in the inner space shattered and turned into a stream of light that disappeared. then, lin fan used his soul to communicate with ma zheng. after all, ma zheng was now his subordinate. it was not good to not contact each other for too long. ¡°ma zheng.¡± ¡­. ma zheng, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes. even though he didn¡¯t see lin fan, he still knelt on the ground and said respectfully,¡±¡±master!¡± lin fan said,¡± how¡¯s the situation recently?¡± ¡°i¡¯ve already joined the raincloud altar, a subsidiary force of the water god palace. furthermore, i¡¯ve become a team leader of the raincloud altar¡­¡± ma zheng replied. it had to be said that ma zheng was indeed quite capable. no matter what, the raincloud sanctum was a rather famous faction. it was not easy to achieve such an achievement in just a few years. the reason why ma zheng was so respectful to lin fan was because he had joined the raincloud sanctum. this was because the raincloud sanctum had its own intelligence network. ma zheng heard that the insect emperor and the king of the insect realm had both died from a curse. in addition, the fire god palace lord and the myriad demon sect¡¯s sect master were also subjected to a terrifying curse. among them, the fire god palace lord was dead, and the myriad demon sect¡¯s sect master had become a demon. now, the various universes were saying that this was all done by the demon king. however, ma zheng had a feeling that perhaps¡­this was done by lin fan. if that was the case, how strong would lin fan be? every time ma zheng thought about it, his heart would be filled with endless admiration for lin fan. he understood that he had followed a truly important person! this was also the reason why ma zheng was so respectful to lin fan. lin fan was satisfied,¡± not bad!¡± what realm are you at now?¡± ¡°master, i¡¯m currently at the 6th level of the planet realm.¡±ma zheng said. in a few years, his cultivation had increased by one level. the speed was not bad. lin fan muttered,¡± it¡¯s still a little slow. how about this? i¡¯ll teach you a breathing technique.¡±¡± hence, lin fan imparted the xuanhuang breathing technique to him. after ending the soul communication, ma zheng inhaled and exhaled according to the breathing technique. ¡°whoosh!¡± the spiritual energy in the air surged into his body like a tidal wave. ma zheng suddenly realized that one breath of his was comparable to several days of bitter cultivation! if this continued, how fast would his cultivation speed be? this was definitely an amazing breathing technique! ma zheng, who had just stood up, knelt on the ground again and said firmly,¡±thank you, master! thank you, master!¡± ¡­. [ding! ma zheng¡¯s favorability towards you has increased to 8 stars.] when lin fan heard this, his face revealed a look of satisfaction. he had not taught her the breathing technique in vain. then, lin fan looked up at xia bing, xia xue, hu tian, and huang ling who were cultivating hard. as well as little rock, li ke, and qin menghu. their cultivation had all increased greatly, and it was still increasing at every moment. however, it was still not enough. moreover, some people seemed to have deviated from the norm. hence, lin fan took a step forward and appeared before everyone. when hu tian, xia xue, xia bing, su ningjing, and the others saw lin fan, their faces immediately bloomed like flowers. ¡°lin fan!¡± they said happily. little rock, li ke, qin menghu, zheng cong, song wenxuan, riemann, and the others bowed and said in a respectful and excited tone,¡±¡±greetings, master!¡± master? that¡¯s right! it was master. at first, li ke, qin menghu, zheng cong, song wenxuan, and riemann wanted to be lin fan¡¯s disciples. but now, they no longer had such thoughts. because they felt that they were not worthy. didn¡¯t they see that their big brother, little rock, also called lin fan master? lin fan nodded at everyone and said,¡± today, we will solve the problems you have encountered in your cultivation.¡± p.s. welcome to my final book, super red envelope immortals. Chapter 724 - 724 Pursuit Again; Revenge! 724 pursuit again; revenge! when everyone heard this, they all revealed a hint of joy. over the years, hu tian, xia xue, xia bing, su ningjing, and the others had been cultivating hard. in the beginning, they felt a little bored. however, as time passed, they all liked the feeling of cultivation. gradually, they began to compete with each other. now that lin fan was able to help them solve their cultivation problems, wouldn¡¯t that allow them to have a faster cultivation speed? of course they would be happy. as for li ke, qin menghu, zheng cong, song wenxuan, and riemann, there was no need to mention them. the thing that they had been looking forward to was to meet lin fan and receive his guidance. now, it could finally become reality. hu tian was the first to raise a question, and lin xiaoyao followed closely behind. then, it was huang ling, su ningjing, han tian¡­ the lecture lasted for a full month before it came to an end. hu tian, xia xue, xia bing, su ningjing, and everyone else had a look of understanding on their faces. some people even directly broke through to a minor realm. ¡­. time flew by like water. in the blink of an eye, a year had passed. lin fan had just woken up from his cultivation and gave tai jun a curse as usual. ¡­. ten thousand demon sect. ¡°roar!¡± tai jun roared at the sky. the entire palace shook violently as if it would collapse at any moment. his eyes were scarlet red, and black gas surged like a fountain. his entire body fluctuated between large and small, and he was constantly distorted as if he was about to explode at any moment. he leaped and arrived before a tall stone statue. he bowed and said,¡±¡±ancestor, i¡¯m cursed. please save me!¡± ¡°roar!¡± tai jun roared again, causing the stone statue to shake. in the next moment¡­ the stone statue suddenly blinked its eyes, and then, it emitted a dazzling golden light. ¡°hmm? curse?¡± the surging energy quickly surged into tai jun¡¯s body. not long after, he calmed down. ¡°this item can help you resist the curse.¡± then, a fist-sized pearl landed in front of tai jun. ¡°thank you, old ancestor!¡± tai jun hurriedly said. ¡°whoosh!¡± the golden light around the stone statue faded, and everything returned to normal. tai jun held the bead with a smile on his face. ¡­. three years passed in the blink of an eye. on this day, lin fan first checked his character relationships. he realized that no one¡¯s name was flashing or that they were in danger. his heart calmed down a little. then, he used soul communication with qiu ziqian and lin yulian. ¡°lin fan!¡± ¡°daddy!¡± they were both very happy. when lin fan heard their voices, he felt a sense of familiarity. ¡°dad, i¡¯m already at the stellar level 9!¡±lin yulian said excitedly. he looked like a child who had achieved good results and was waiting for his parents to praise him. lin fan praised,¡± really?¡± good job!¡± ¡°hehe!¡± lin yulian said. lin fan continued,¡± you haven¡¯t encountered any trouble recently, right?¡± ¡°sigh, don¡¯t mention it! i don¡¯t know what went wrong with the ten thousand demon sect in the past two years, but they¡¯ve been hunting us down again. mom and i only came to a safe place two days ago¡­¡± lin yulian sighed. when lin fan heard that, his heart tightened and he asked,¡±¡±pursue you again? are you injured?¡± qiu ziqian could hear lin fan¡¯s worry and quickly said,¡±¡±don¡¯t worry, we¡¯re fine¡­¡± the family chatted for a while more before ending their soul communication. lin fan asked the system,¡± why are qiu ziqian and lin yulian being chased by the ten thousand demon sect again?¡± also, i¡¯ve cursed taijun for so long. why hasn¡¯t he died yet?¡± after all, he had once cursed zhu yan, who was also a martial monarch realm expert, to death. it had only been ten years. however, it had been almost 10 years since the curse had been cast. other than the system notification a few years ago that tai jun¡¯s inner demon had increased greatly, there had been no other news. [requires 10 million spirit stones. do you wish to inquire?] when lin fan heard this, he raised his brows. one question, 10 million spirit stones? this was definitely the most expensive problem at the moment. however, he did not hesitate and said,¡±¡±inquire!¡± [taijun obtained the help of his ancestor, holy master taixu, and gave him a defensive magic treasure to resist a certain amount of the curse power.] lin fan frowned,¡±great void?¡± did it block a certain curse? then i¡¯d like to see how much it can block!¡± thus, lin fan gave tai jun a curse set once again. ¡°thump! thump!¡± as soon as he finished cursing, there was a knock on the door. lin fan looked up and saw that it was li ke. he said,¡±¡±come in.¡± ¡°creak!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, the door opened automatically. after li ke walked in, he knelt on the ground and said,¡±greetings, master.¡± lin fan nodded,¡± what is it?¡± li ke hesitated for a moment before saying,¡±¡±master, i want to go out for a while. i want revenge for killing my parents!¡± when he said this, his face revealed a thick hatred. in fact, this was also the reason why he had come to the coiling dragon villa back then. he had to take revenge for his parents! lin fan could feel the hatred as well,¡±¡±go ahead.¡± ¡°thank you, master!¡± li ke kowtowed to the ground and slowly retreated. then, his figure flashed and appeared directly outside the coiling dragon villa without attracting anyone¡¯s attention. li ke looked back at coiling dragon villa, his eyes full of respect. then, he turned around and looked towards the north. his eyes were filled with endless anger. there¡­it was in the direction of the enemy. ¡°whoosh!¡± he leaped up like a rocket and soared into the sky. ¡­. in a slightly old courtyard. the emaciated little girl was locked in the cage like an animal. she could not help but tremble and sob,¡±daddy, where are you? xiao qin was so cold and hungry¡­wuuu¡­¡± the woman in high heels and black leather shoes grinned and said,¡±are you still thinking about that damned father? let me tell you, he died a long time ago! otherwise, he would have given her a good name! li ke? haha! curse father, curse mother, curse the whole family! hahaha!¡± ¡°yo yo yo! hungry? alright! there are some rotten buns prepared to feed the dogs. eat them to your heart¡¯s content!¡± after saying that, she opened the cage and poured a large pile of rotten steamed buns into it. the pungent smell made one feel nauseous. ¡°whoosh!¡± unbeknownst to the woman, a man suddenly descended from the sky and appeared behind her. he was li ke. this house used to be li ke¡¯s home. before li ke took revenge, he came over to take a look, but he heard a little girl being locked in a cage. it was not difficult to see a pair of big black eyes and a high nose bridge on the little girl¡¯s gray face. li ke realized that her appearance seemed to be somewhat similar to his. just as li ke was puzzled, the woman said,¡±¡±are you still thinking about that damned father? let me tell you, he died a long time ago! or should he say that his name was good, li ke? haha! curse father, curse mother, curse the whole family! hahaha!¡± li ke? this girl was¡­his own child?

why are you here?¡± the old woman was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground. she stretched out her fat finger and poked at li ke¡¯s face. ¡°humph!¡± li ke grunted and broke the old woman¡¯s fingers. ¡°ah!¡± instantly, the entire scene was filled with screams that sounded like pigs being slaughtered. bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down the old woman¡¯s forehead. ¡°you¡¯re done for! i¡¯m telling you, you¡¯re done for!¡± she shouted ferociously. no matter who you are, how dare you break my fingers? you¡¯re finished for life!¡± ¡°really?¡± li ke said coldly. do you know who i am? my name is li ke.¡± the old woman¡¯s bean-sized eyes suddenly shrank as she cried out in fear,¡±¡±li ke? no, no, no. impossible, didn¡¯t you die a long time ago?¡± ¡°i¡¯m sorry to disappoint you, but i¡¯m still alive!¡±li ke said indifferently. at this moment, the little girl in the cage called out softly,¡±daddy¡­¡± then, his body went limp and he fainted. ¡°xiao qin!¡± li ke panicked. this evil woman! his heart was filled with endless anger towards the old woman in front of him, and he slapped her hard on the head. ¡°bang!¡± instantly, the old woman¡¯s head exploded like a watermelon, and blood spurted out. then, li ke pulled hard with his palm. the heavy cage was like a bubble, directly deformed and shattered. li ke carefully held xiao qin in his arms and continued to transfer life energy. after a while, xiao qin opened her eyes. she said softly,¡±dad¡­¡± father.¡± ¡°i¡¯m here, i¡¯m here!¡± li ke hurriedly said. ¡°xiao qin, i¡¯m so hungry.¡± the girl said. ¡°daddy will take you to eat now.¡±li ke said. he took a step forward and moved forward like a gust of wind. a moment later, they arrived at a luxurious restaurant. ¡°waiter, bring me all the good food and drinks here!¡± li ke said anxiously.¡± the waiter was stunned for a moment. however, he soon felt the terrifying aura coming from li ke¡¯s body. hence, he stammered,¡±yes, yes¡­¡± then, he hurriedly asked the chef to prepare the dishes. the restaurant was very efficient. in less than ten minutes, delicious dishes were served one after another. xiao qin looked at the food and her small eyes were a little stunned. she could not help but swallow her saliva. however, she did not dare to pick up her chopsticks. ¡°xiao qin, why aren¡¯t you eating?¡± li ke asked.¡± xiao qin said,¡±but¡­ can i eat it?¡± ¡°of course. eat quickly and eat as much as you want.¡±after li ke finished speaking, he took the initiative to put the food into xiao qin¡¯s bowl. xiao qin finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore and stuffed the food into her mouth. ¡°baji, baji!¡± ¡°gulp, gulp!¡± she ate in big mouthfuls, her small mouth bulging. li ke said,¡±eat slowly, don¡¯t be anxious¡­¡± have some soup first.¡± xiao qin was very satisfied with the meal, and her stomach became round. li ke had been watching xiao qin silently from the beginning to the end. he looked at xiao qin¡¯s small mouth, her eyebrows, and her chin¡­ the more li ke looked at it, the more he felt that it resembled himself and hu yufang. hu yufang was his girlfriend back then. that¡¯s right! xiao qin must be her and hu yufang¡¯s child! where was hu yufang? why wasn¡¯t she with xiao qin? why didn¡¯t you protect xiao qin? ¡°where¡¯s your mother, qin?¡± li ke asked.¡± ¡°mommy¡­¡± xiao qin suddenly thought of something and said anxiously,¡± mommy is in danger. daddy, go and save mommy!¡± ¡°do you know where your mother is?¡± li ke¡¯s heart tightened.¡± ¡°i¡­ i don¡¯t know¡­¡± xiao qin said. thus, li ke carried xiao qin and soared into the sky. then, with li ke as the center, surging mentality spread out in all directions like a tide. soon, his attention was locked onto a private room in a bar. there¡­a woman with a voluptuous figure was standing shakily in front of a man. he found it! li ke turned into a stream of light and moved forward rapidly. ¡­. in the private room of the bar. the man in the checkered shirt sized up hu yufang in front of him and grinned.¡±you want to save your daughter? alright! as long as you serve me well today, i can let her go tomorrow.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he reached out to touch hu yufang¡¯s voluptuous figure. hu yufang instinctively dodged to the side. ¡°hide?¡± the man¡¯s face darkened. good!¡± ¡°i won¡¯t move today! move yourself! otherwise, i can guarantee that your daughter will be very miserable!¡± hu yufang shuddered. she unbuttoned one of her buttons with trembling hands, revealing her plump figure. the man¡¯s breathing began to become heavy. ¡°whoosh!¡± at this moment, li ke suddenly appeared in the private room with xiao qin in his arms. hu yufang looked over and said excitedly,¡±xiao qin!¡± then, he said in surprise,¡±you are¡­¡± li ke?¡± ¡°yes, it¡¯s me.¡± li ke nodded. ¡°you¡­ aren¡¯t you¡­¡± hu yufang said in a trembling voice. ¡°i¡¯m not dead. you¡¯ve worked hard all these years.¡±li ke comforted her. as he spoke, he slowly pulled hu yufang into his arms. ¡°mommy¡­¡± xiao qin said. the family of three hugged each other, feeling extremely warm. at this moment, a discordant voice sounded in the private room. ¡°humph! isn¡¯t it too early for you to be happy?¡± li ke, hu yufang, and xiao qin all looked at the man. hu yufang and xiao qin¡¯s faces were filled with fear. li ke was icy cold. ¡°li ke, i didn¡¯t expect you to be alive. that¡¯s good!¡± the man said sternly. later, watch me exercise with your wife first, and then die again!¡± li ke¡¯s expression was cold as he raised his hand and grabbed the man¡¯s neck. the man wanted to break free, but he seemed to have lost all his strength. his face revealed a hint of fear. ¡°what kind of special ability is this?¡±the man said in shock. li ke¡¯s face revealed a look of disdain. special ability? he was already a cultivator! li ke did not intend to answer. he turned to hu yufang and said,¡±¡±lisa, carry xiao qin out first. leave this to me.¡± he didn¡¯t want them to see a bloody scene. hu yufang held xiao qin in her arms and hesitated. ¡°don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll be fine. i promise that no one in this world will ever hurt you again.¡±¡± hu yufang nodded and slowly left. Chapter 726 - 726 Secret Path; Challenge Again! 726 secret path; challenge again! ¡°creak!¡± the door closed. li ke¡¯s eyes were cold and sharp like arrows. the man couldn¡¯t help but shiver. however, he quickly thought of something and shouted ferociously again,¡±i¡¯m qin an! song shijie¡¯s cousin! li ke, if you don¡¯t want your wife and daughter to die with you, let me go immediately!¡± song shijie¡¯s cousin? he would let himself, his wife, and his children die a horrible death!? one had to know¡­ back then, li ke¡¯s entire family was exterminated by the song family. among them, song shijie even personally killed li ke¡¯s father! anger burned in an instant. unforgivable! ¡°whoosh!¡± li ke grabbed qin an¡¯s left hand and twisted it gently. ¡°kacha!¡± qin an¡¯s left hand twisted into a strange ball like a fried dough twist. ¡°ah!¡± screams like pigs being slaughtered echoed in the private room. then, it was his right hand, left leg, and right leg. very quickly, qin an¡¯s entire body was crumpled into a meatball, and blood flowed out. finally, li ke swung his palm down. ¡°bang!¡± qin an was like a ripe watermelon, completely exploding. flesh and meat flew everywhere, looking extremely miserable. at this point, li ke walked out of the room. he held hu yufang¡¯s hand and said,¡±it¡¯s okay.¡±¡± ¡°yes, yes!¡± hu yufang nodded vigorously, tears flashing in her eyes. after comforting the mother and daughter for a while, li ke took advantage of the darkness and jumped out. it was night. the originally bright moon had turned into a scarlet sphere floating in the air, ferocious and terrifying. a man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes suddenly appeared in the luxurious song family manor. ¡°who is it?¡± someone shouted. ¡°whoosh!¡± what responded to him was a sharp sword light. blood splattered everywhere as the corpse fell to the ground. ¡°enemies!¡± someone exclaimed in the distance. then, one by one, the song family members fell to the ground like ears of wheat. tonight, li ke had covered the entire song family in scarlet, and corpses were strewn everywhere. it was extremely terrifying! however, the strange thing was that li ke did not see his main enemy, song shijie, or the higher-ups of the song family. just as li ke was about to leave the song family with doubts, he accidentally discovered a tunnel under the fake mountain in the song family¡¯s manor. after a moment of hesitation, he directly entered. this tunnel was extremely long, as if it was bottomless. just as li ke was thinking about whether he should return¡­ ¡°whoosh!¡± a powerful suction force suddenly pulled him in. the next moment, li ke appeared on an altar. at this moment, he was not the only one on the altar. song shijie and the other higher-ups of the song clan were also present. ¡°li ke!¡± song shijie shouted. when enemies met, their eyes turned red. li ke narrowed his eyes and said coldly,¡±i¡¯ve finally found you.¡±¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he used his palm as a sword and kept waving it. the tyrannical sword energy danced wantonly. ¡°puchi!¡± the two higher-ups of the song family were cut into pieces like paper. when another sword energy was about to land on the third person, a man in a long robe shouted,¡±how dare you!¡± he leaped up and shattered the sword intent with a palm strike. he was actually a cultivator! then, li ke and he attacked each other, sending out strong gusts of wind. while they were fighting, the altar emitted rays of light. ¡°it¡¯s opened!¡± song shijie said. ¡°whoosh!¡± in the next moment¡­ everyone on the altar turned into lightning and disappeared without a trace. ¡­. ten years passed in the blink of an eye. in the past ten years, lin fan had obtained five transcendence golden bodies, four immortal crystals, and two king level skills from the system. lin fan¡¯s cultivation state had finally reached king level 2. ¡°phew!¡± lin fan heaved a sigh of relief and muttered,¡±¡±it¡¯s been more than ten years, and i¡¯ve only broken through one level.¡± he only broke through one level after more than ten years? if others heard this, they would definitely be envious. king level experts, who didn¡¯t accumulate for tens of thousands of years before they had the hope of breaking through one level? lin fan said,¡± breaking through so slowly. curse taijun to vent his anger!¡±¡± ¡°kacha!¡± one million spiritual stones turned into ashes. ¡°whoosh!¡± at this moment, a loud voice spread throughout the entire earth. ¡°star lord lin fan, please come out and spar!¡± when lin fan heard the voice, he raised his head and looked up into the void. he saw¡­ the person who spoke was wearing a white robe and holding a golden sword. he had an imposing appearance. he¡­ it was qin qiuliang who had challenged lin fan before. lin fan realized that qin qiuliang had already reached universe level 3. the speed of his improvement could not be considered slow. however, just this¡­he also came to challenge him? looking over with the heavenly eye, qin qiuliang¡¯s entire body was covered in countless weaknesses. lin fan had a weird look on his face as he stepped out and arrived in the void. when qin qiuliang saw lin fan, he was extremely happy. ¡°star lord lin, you¡¯re here!¡± then, he said,¡± star lord lin, ever since i was defeated by you, i participated in the universe competition. through continuous battles and the rewards i obtained from the competition, my cultivation and battle experience have increased greatly!¡± ¡°right now, my cultivation has already reached the third level of the universe.¡± when he said this, a hint of arrogance appeared on his face. of course, this was something he was proud of. ¡°don¡¯t worry, i¡¯ll try my best to hold back when we fight later. i won¡¯t hurt you.¡±¡± when lin fan heard this, the weird look on his face grew even more intense. universe level 3, going easy on him? however, he still nodded and said,¡±alright.¡±¡± then, lin fan pointed. ¡°whoosh!¡± a terrifying pillar of light that seemed to be able to penetrate the universe swept through an endless and terrifying aura and shot toward qin qiuliang rapidly. qin qiuliang¡¯s pupils constricted. he couldn¡¯t even muster the strength to move or escape. die! he was going to die! ¡°no!¡± he cried out in horror. ¡°tsk!¡± with a wave of his hand, the pillar of light stopped just a meter away from qin qiuliang. ¡°drip!¡± qin qiuliang could feel the destructive aura contained in the golden pillar of light. beads of sweat fell from his forehead like raindrops. he swallowed hard and felt that he was still alive. after a long while, he said with difficulty,¡±this¡­¡± this¡­ it¡¯s not suitable for us to compete now¡­¡± ¡°is that so?¡± lin fan chuckled out. the golden pillar of light shattered like a bubble and disappeared without a trace. ¡°since it¡¯s not suitable, i¡¯ll leave first.¡± as the sound of his voice faded, lin fan vanished into the void. ¡°hu hu hu!¡± qin qiuliang took a few deep breaths. it was as if he had walked through hell and sat in the void dejectedly. he looked at the blue planet in front of him, and his gaze gradually became determined. ¡°star lord lin, i will become stronger and challenge you again!¡± after saying that, he leaped and flew toward the endless starry sky. Chapter 727 - 727 Li Kes Chance; Universe Competition! 727 li ke¡¯s chance; universe competition! challenge¡­ to lin fan, it was just a small matter that happened after a meal. it would be over with a smile. after lin fan returned to the coiling dragon villa, his consciousness entered the river of time. he was prepared to test and master the power of laws that he had grasped over the years. in the white river of time. lin fan took a step forward. life, death, yin, yang¡­ on the main paths of the various elements, he walked for more than 30,000 meters. then, he changed to the paths of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth that symbolized the five elements¡­ on these roads, he met many people. however, lin fan turned a blind eye to all of them. he kept walking forward, leaving behind a carefree and admiring back view. however, when he walked onto the fire path, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. that was because he accidentally saw someone. a familiar person. ¡°li ke?¡± lin fan said. at this moment, li ke seemed very confused. when he heard lin fan¡¯s voice, he turned around and said in surprise, ¡°master!¡± lin fan said, ¡°why are you here?¡± he remembered that li ke had a very good fire talent, and qin menghu had a very good sword talent. however, they were still very weak. therefore, lin fan didn¡¯t teach them fire and sword skills. it was just to let little rock quickly increase their cultivation. also, didn¡¯t li ke go out to avenge his parents a few years ago? why was he in the river of time now? he could do it with his own ability? was his talent that powerful? ¡°master, i think¡­¡± li ke said. ¡°i transmigrated!¡± transmigration? lin fan¡¯s face revealed a look of surprise. then, li ke roughly told him about the revenge ten years ago. lin fan nodded his head and said, ¡°which universe are you in now?¡± ¡°mero cosmos, flame domain burning star,¡± li ke said. ¡°this place is under the jurisdiction of the fire god palace. however, the fire god palace¡¯s palace master seemed to have died not too long ago, causing the fire god palace to suffer a huge blow. ¡°in order to recover their vitality, the fire god palace has been searching for fire attribute geniuses to nurture over the years. they allowed me to become a substitute for the fire god palace¡¯s holy son and even gave me a lot of resources to nurture. then, they used a special method to let me enter the river of time. ¡°but don¡¯t worry, master. i¡¯m still yours, and that will never change!¡± when lin fan heard this, his face turned weird. he killed the palace master of the fire god palace. the fire god palace was using huge resources to nurture his disciple? lin fan nodded his head. ¡°alright. cultivate well. after that, work hard to get a higher status in fire god palace.¡± ¡°yes, master!¡± li ke said. then, lin fan continued to walk along the fire dao. after lin fan¡¯s soul returned, he asked quietly, ¡°system, is what li ke said true?¡± [requires 100,000 spirit stones. do you wish to inquire?] ¡°inquire!¡± [it¡¯s true.] at this moment, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! li ke¡¯s favorability towards you has increased to 7 stars.] when lin fan heard this, he broke out into a smile. he turned his eyes slightly and used soul communication with li ke. ¡°li ke!¡± ¡­ mero cosmos, flame domain burning star. li ke thought back to how lin fan was walking in the river of time and couldn¡¯t help but praise,¡±¡±as expected of master! he¡¯s too powerful!¡± suddenly, he heard lin fan¡¯s voice and was stunned. then, he revealed a respectful expression that was difficult to hide. ¡°hello, master.¡± lin fan said,¡± i¡¯ll teach you a skill now. i hope you cultivate it well. it¡¯s called true flame skill.¡±¡± ¡°yes, sir!¡± li ke said. when the soul connection ended, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! li ke¡¯s favorability towards you has increased to 8 stars.] when lin fan heard that, his lips curled up,¡± it wasn¡¯t in vain for me to teach you.¡±¡± ¡­. four seasons universe. summer region, maple leaf planet. people were singing and dancing, shopping and strolling. everyone was very relaxed and at ease. at this moment, a huge starship suddenly appeared in the sky. everyone raised their heads in confusion and discussed in low voices. ¡°what is this?¡± ¡°why did he suddenly appear in the air?¡± ¡°is it some big shot who came to our planet?¡± ¡°should we line up to welcome him?¡± ¡­. what responded to them were countless terrifying energy cannons. ¡°boom!¡± ¡°boom!¡± the earth shook violently, and dust flew everywhere. ¡°enemy attack!¡± ¡°run!¡± ¡°star lord, save me!¡± ¡­. cries and screams resounded throughout the entire planet. maple leaf star master heard this and soared into the sky, about to launch an attack on the starship. however¡­ ¡°whoosh!¡± a dazzling pillar of light instantly drowned his figure and turned him into ashes. the maple leaf planet had fallen. ¡­. in fact, it was not just maple leaf planet. the pine star, sandalwood star, green star, and other planets of the summer territory were all under fierce attack at almost the same time. the entire summer territory was falling at a rate visible to the naked eye. the ruler of the summer territory was furious when he heard the news. he personally led the army to counterattack. however, this was clearly a premeditated attack. how could they let the ruler of the summer territory get what he wanted? as soon as the ruler of the summer territory set off, he was attacked fiercely. ¡± how dare you!¡± he shouted.¡± ocean universe, how dare you! do you want to start a universe war?¡±¡± the tall man with a shark head grinned and said,¡±the war has already begun, idiot!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying energy burst out from his body and vaguely formed a giant white shark that was tens of thousands of square kilometers in the sky. the white shark opened its ferocious mouth and swept out a tyrannical aura. it tore through space and fiercely bit into the summer territory. the summer territory¡¯s ruler¡¯s expression changed slightly as he hurriedly blocked the attack. ¡°boom!¡± a terrifying energy wave spread rapidly like a wave. at this moment, a man with a seal head appeared not far away. he said coldly,¡±hasn¡¯t it been resolved yet? too slow.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have transformed into a golden light and instantly arrived in front of the ruler of the summer territory. ¡°boom!¡± with a wave of his hand, he sent the ruler of the summer territory flying and spat out a large mouthful of blood. the man with the seal head didn¡¯t stop and continued flying forward. the ruler of the summer territory knew that he was unable to resist. therefore, he quickly activated the talisman hidden in his body. ¡°whoosh!¡± space swirled, and the ruler of the summer territory instantly disappeared without a trace. ¡°a teleportation talisman? forget it, so be it. our mission was to conquer the summer territory anyway, and we¡¯ve succeeded.¡± p.s. welcome to my final book, super red envelope immortals. Chapter 728 - 728 Danger of the Four Seasons Universe; Trouble! 728 danger of the four seasons universe; trouble! news of what had happened in the summer territory quickly spread throughout the four seasons universe, and discussions surged like a tide. ¡°have you heard? the entire summer territory has been attacked!¡± ¡°i heard that too. it seems to be done by the ocean universe!¡± ¡°how dare the ocean universe? aren¡¯t they afraid of our four seasons universe retaliating?¡± ¡°counterattack! we, the four seasons universe masters, will definitely stop the army from retaliating against them!¡± ¡°that¡¯s right! let the ocean universe know how powerful we are!¡± ¡°revenge!¡± ¡­. at this moment, many higher-ups of the four seasons universe gathered in the universe palace. among them was the lord of the summer territory, who looked extremely disheveled. when the higher-ups saw him, they all asked. ¡°master of the summer territory, what is the situation now?¡± ¡± how strong is the ocean universe?¡± ¡­. ¡± this attack was too sudden,¡± sighed the ruler of the summer territory.¡± they definitely planned it beforehand. i was caught off guard. now, the summer territory¡­i¡¯m afraid it¡¯s about to completely fall!¡± although everyone had already guessed this outcome. however, after hearing the words of the ruler of the summer territory, he could not help but feel shocked. ¡± let¡¯s go see the universe master,¡± said summer territory master.¡± at this time, the universe palace¡¯s door slowly opened. a masked man holding a golden scepter walked out. when everyone saw him, they all bowed and said,¡±greetings, grand elder.¡± ¡± the universe master isn¡¯t in the palace,¡± the great elder said.¡± there was a slight silence. everyone had a bad feeling. the universe master wasn¡¯t here. then, the four seasons universe was attacked by the ocean universe. this¡­ this was definitely a premeditated war! could it be that the universe master had already¡­ when everyone thought of this, their hearts could not help but accelerate. universe masters were the pillars of the universes. if anything happened to him, the entire universe would be like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. ¡± don¡¯t worry,¡± the great elder said.¡± the universe master is still alive. at least, his life tablet is still intact. he¡¯s just trapped somewhere.¡±¡± hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. this was not bad news. ¡°now, let¡¯s discuss how to organize an army to resist the ocean universe.¡± ¡°yes, sir!¡± a grand cosmic war began. war represented chaos and slaughter. it was even more so in space wars. it was bloody and terrifying to the extreme. countless planets were reduced to hell, and some even turned into ashes. trillions of humans lost their lives. ¡­. in the blink of an eye, 50 years had passed. for cultivators, 50 years was just the blink of an eye. to the four seasons universe, these 50 years felt like an entire era. the power of the ocean universe had exceeded the four seasons universe¡¯s estimation, causing the four seasons universe to retreat. finally, the ocean universe stabilized the summer region and took the initiative to attack the spring region. although the spring field was also resisting. however, the effect was like an ant shaking a tree. it was completely useless. every day, a large number of planets were occupied by the ocean universe. ¡­. at this moment, at the edge of the spring field, on earth. ¡°phew!¡± lin fan heaved a sigh of relief. a cool breeze caressed the entire earth. in 50 years, lin fan had obtained 35 transcendence golden bodies, 21 immortal crystals, 12 king grade equipment, 7 cultivation techniques, 6 emperor grade equipment, and 2 great dao fragments from the system. these treasures allowed lin fan¡¯s cultivation speed to grow faster and faster, allowing him to reach king level 5! lin fan muttered,¡± on average, it takes 12 years to break through. that¡¯s still a little slow.¡±¡± he was dissatisfied, so he could not help but curse taijun. one million spiritual stones instantly turned into ashes. cultivating for a long time was sometimes boring. stepping out, lin fan came before the path-understanding tree. when everyone saw him, they all shouted happily. ¡°lin fan!¡± ¡°hubby!¡± ¡°brother!¡± ¡°master!¡± ¡­. lin fan nodded,¡± not bad. your cultivation is increasing very quickly.¡±¡± now, xia bing and xia xue¡¯s cultivation had already reached domain lord level 7. hu tian, su ningjing, huang ling and the rest also broke through to domain lord level. qin menghu, zheng cong, song wenxuan, and riemann had all reached the star-grade. such a breakthrough speed was truly astonishing. when everyone heard lin fan¡¯s praise, their faces broke into smiles. lin fan said,¡± if you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask now.¡±¡± everyone scrambled to ask questions. over the past 50 years, lin fan had helped them solve their cultivation problems. each time, their cultivation path became smoother and smoother, allowing them to quickly increase their cultivation. ¡­. just as lin fan was answering everyone¡¯s questions¡­ a huge starship was approaching from afar. inside the starship, the man with the crab head stared at the huge display screen and said,¡±¡±oh? they found another planet. it was blue and looked like a gem! it was too beautiful! it should belong to our ocean universe!¡± ¡°it belongs to the ocean universe!¡± cheers were heard in the starship. obviously, they all liked this blue planet very much. then, the man with the crab head suddenly pressed the red button in front of him. ¡°whoosh!¡± immediately, a dazzling laser beam shot towards the blue planet. however, before the laser beam could reach the blue planet, it was blocked by an invisible protective shield. ¡­. ¡°boom!¡± with a loud bang, the earth shook. lin fan, who was still explaining the problems of cultivation to everyone, suddenly stopped. then, he slowly raised his head and looked at the endless void. he easily saw the situation outside. all these years, lin fan had never left earth. however, he also knew the situation outside. this was because he would also interact with ma zheng when he was free. lin fan knew that this ship was an invasion ship from the ocean universe. now, the invading ships of the ocean universe were as terrifying as demons in the four seasons universe. everyone was terrified. however, lin fan¡¯s face did not show any fear at all. in lin fan¡¯s vision, everyone on the starship was covered in countless weaknesses. he could take them all out with a casual strike. ¡°you guys sit here for a while. i¡¯ll be right back.¡±¡± as soon as he finished speaking, lin fan¡¯s body flashed and he disappeared from where he was. hu tian, su ningjing, huang ling, and the others did not know what had happened. however, they were all smart people and quickly guessed that earth was in trouble again. every time there was trouble, lin fan would solve it. they couldn¡¯t help but clench their fists, thinking,¡¯i have to become stronger and help lin fan share the burden!¡¯ Chapter 729 - 729 Solved; Ambition! 729 solved; ambition! at this moment, in the void. the man with the crab head was staring at the screen. ¡°protective shield? this planet had such a powerful defense system? interesting.¡± ¡°however, if i block one attack, then i can block two or three high-energy attacks¡­ or even 100 hits?¡± ¡°tsk tsk, let me test the quality of your defense!¡± the man with the crab brain grinned. he twisted the knob at the side and pressed the red button again. ¡°whoosh!¡± another dazzling laser beam shot toward earth. however, this time, before the laser beam could reach the protective shield, it was blocked by a tall and handsome man. it was lin fan! he saw¡­ lin fan raised his finger lightly. it was as if there were stars revolving around it, instantly devouring the laser beam. the crab man and everyone else on the starship widened their eyes in shock. then, they all shouted. ¡°the s-grade high-energy laser cannon was devoured?¡± ¡°how is this possible!¡± ¡°what kind of monster is that?¡± ¡°isn¡¯t this an ordinary asteroid? why is there such an existence?¡± ¡­. it was no wonder that they were like this. one had to know¡­ the s grade high energy laser cannon could already cause damage to universe level warriors. generally speaking, even a king class expert would not dare to use his body to take on an s-grade laser cannon. but what was the situation in front of him? a young man blocked the s-grade high-energy laser cannon with a single finger. who was this young man? how could an ordinary asteroid have such a powerful existence? ¡°he must have some special method. there must be a limit to the number of times he can use it!¡± the crab man said viciously.¡± in this world, there were many treasures with powerful defense or powerful attack¡­ however, most of the things that did not belong to one¡¯s own ability had a limit. once the number of times was used up, it would be like waste paper and lose all its abilities. the crab man pressed the red button again as if to verify his thoughts. ¡°whoosh!¡± it was the same as before. lin fan raised his hand and absorbed it again. the crab man did not give up and pressed the red button continuously. ¡°xiu! whoosh! whoosh!¡± laser beams shot out continuously. without exception, they were all blocked by lin fan¡¯s finger. these laser beams couldn¡¯t cause any harm to lin fan. however, the constant attacks also made him a little annoyed. he saw¡­ lin fan waved his hand in the air. a huge sword energy immediately appeared behind him. ¡°whoosh!¡± the sword energy tore through the void, bursting forth with an endless and fierce aura as it flew forward rapidly. in the eyes of the people on the warship, it was as if they saw a huge and terrifying sword shadow that was as big as the sun, arriving in front of them in an instant. even if the warship had powerful automatic dodging and automatic defense capabilities. however, in front of this sun sword shadow, there was no time to react at all. ¡°no!¡± everyone¡¯s pupils constricted as they shouted in unison. ¡°boom!¡± there was a loud bang. in the void, it was as if a brilliant firework had bloomed. after the fireworks dissipated, lin fan returned to the coiling dragon villa. lin fan smiled,¡± let¡¯s continue with the cultivation problem.¡± his tone was so relaxed and indifferent. who would have thought that he had just taken care of a powerful ocean starship? everyone understood that lin fan had solved the problem, so they asked even more questions and cultivated even more. ¡­. ocean universe, second brigade. ¡± c102 reporting, spring field, coordinates 1289, 321, 564, planet discovered¡­¡± ¡± c102 reporting, spring field, coordinates 1289, 321, 456 planet has been successfully occupied¡­¡± ¡­. ¡± c231 reporting. spring field, coordinates 2109, 111, 899. planet found¡­¡± ¡± c231 reporting, spring field, coordinates 2109,111,899 planet has been successfully occupied¡­¡± ¡­. one report after another was sent back. everyone in the conference room looked satisfied. they continued to attack with unstoppable momentum! this was the ocean universe, invincible under the heavens! as long as he successfully annexed the four seasons universe, the strength of the ocean universe would definitely soar. everyone seemed to have already seen the invincible power of the ocean universe in the future. at this moment, another report was sent back. ¡± c108 reporting, spring field, coordinates 5901, 234, 199, planet discovered¡­¡± ¡°beep! c108 warship signal lost.¡± ¡°beep! c108 warship signal lost.¡± everyone in the meeting room frowned when they heard that. the universe was vast, and once they got lost, it was a very terrifying thing. therefore, all warships would have advanced signal devices to ensure that they could contact the outside world and determine their location at any time. ¡°what¡¯s with c108?¡± someone asked. try to contact him.¡± ¡°beep! the c108 warship has failed to contact.¡± ¡°calling the c108 commander.¡±¡± ¡°beep! call failed.¡± ¡°calling the deputy commander of the c108 warship.¡± ¡°beep! call failed.¡± ¡­. everyone tried for a while and finally confirmed that c108 was completely lost. ¡± let¡¯s go.¡± the man sitting in the upper seat muttered,¡± send the three warships x201, x301, and x401 to coordinate 5901, 234, and 199 to investigate the situation and capture the planet.¡±¡± when everyone heard this, they all revealed a hint of surprise. although the disappearance of the c108 warship was probably due to an enemy. however, wasn¡¯t it a little too much to send three x-series warships to investigate at once? one had to know¡­ the 2nd battalion only had 10 x-series battleships. each x grade battleship had the terrifying power to destroy universe level warriors! ¡± second captain,¡± someone couldn¡¯t help but ask,¡± could the c108 warship have encountered an unknown disaster?¡± wouldn¡¯t it be better to let an x-series warship investigate the situation first?¡± the man in the upper position glanced at him and said,¡±the c108 battleship didn¡¯t even send out a distress signal. is this something an unknown disaster can do?¡± the man opened his mouth, but no words came out. ¡°also, don¡¯t you think that the spring region is too easy to capture? he did not encounter any powerful force at all.¡± ¡°i suspect that the spring field has gathered their experts and is ready to launch a surprise attack on our four seasons universe!¡± when everyone heard this, their bodies suddenly became solemn and they said in unison,¡±second captain is wise!¡± ¡­. four seasons universe, palace. all the higher-ups gathered. ¡°the ocean universe¡¯s attacks on the spring region are getting more and more violent!¡± ¡°the spring field has already lost one-third of its territory.¡± ¡°are we really going to give up on the spring field like this?¡± their faces were filled with anger. the first elder wearing a golden mask said,¡±¡±giving up is only temporary. we are only concentrating our strength to carry out a better defense!¡± ¡°when the universe master returns, we¡¯ll get back everything we¡¯ve lost!¡± ¡°everyone, you must believe in yourself and believe in our lord!¡± in response, many of the higher-ups let out a long sigh. Chapter 730 - 730 Situation; Energy Tsunami! 730 situation; energy tsunami! the cultivation lecture at the coiling dragon villa lasted for half a month before it slowly came to an end. hu tian, su ningjing, xia bing, xia xue, qin menghu, zheng cong, song wenxuan, and riemann all looked enlightened. the aura around them was obviously stronger than half a month ago. lin fan ate a sumptuous meal with everyone before returning to his room. he did not immediately enter a state of cultivation. instead, he used the soul communication technique on ma zheng. ¡°ma zheng!¡± after a while, ma zheng said respectfully,¡±¡±greetings, master.¡± ¡°how are you now?¡± lin fan asked. ¡°master, i recently became an elder of the raincloud altar.¡±ma zheng said. the person with the highest status in the raincloud sanctum was undoubtedly the sanctum leader, followed by the deputy sanctum leader, the first elder, and the second elder. there were also many ordinary elders. in other words, ma zheng was now one of the true upper echelons of the raincloud sanctum. this only took a short hundred years. it had to be said that this rate of advancement was truly astonishing. lin fan nodded,¡± not bad.¡± when ma zheng heard this, a hint of joy appeared on his face. if his master praised him, that would be the greatest reward for him. lin fan asked,¡± how¡¯s the battle between the ocean universe and the four seasons universe?¡± ¡± the ocean universe has completely occupied the summer region,¡± ma zheng said.¡± now, they are attacking the spring region. it is said that a small part of the spring region has already been conquered.¡± ¡± in addition, some people say that four seasons universe wants to give up on spring territory and focus more power on defending autumn territory and winter territory. then, they¡¯ll quietly wait for the return of four seasons universe master.¡± ¡°there are also people who say that the four seasons universe is preparing to gather a powerful force somewhere in the spring field to launch a surprise attack on the ocean universe.¡± ¡°but no matter what, the spring region is in great danger. thus, our raincloud sanctum withdrew from the spring region.¡± when ma zheng said this, his tone could not help but have a deep sigh. he was a member of the four seasons universe. all along, he had thought that the four seasons universe was the strongest and most stable, and would never be attacked. however, the world was unpredictable. lin fan nodded. then, he guided ma zheng on his cultivation. this was one of the reasons why ma zheng was able to raise his status in the raincloud sanctum so quickly. this was because this was a world where the strong reigned supreme. after ending the soul connection, lin fan entered his cultivation state. as for what kind of attack the ocean universe would launch against the four seasons universe, he wasn¡¯t too concerned. after all, he was not from the four seasons universe. as long as the other party did not provoke him, it would be fine. however, things always went against his wishes. lin fan had only cultivated for a few days¡­ ¡°boom!¡± there was a dull sound. the entire earth shook. lin fan opened his eyes slowly and looked up into the void. he saw¡­ three pitch-black battleships the size of miniature moons appeared in the void. a scarlet ¡®x¡¯ was drawn on the bottom of the three warships, which looked very hideous and creepy. this¡­ they were the three x-series battleships of the ocean universe. under the observation of the eyes of heaven, the x-series warship and everyone in it were full of weaknesses. when lin fan saw this, he took a step forward. ¡­. at this moment, inside the x201 warship. the shark-headed man said viciously,¡± this planet isn¡¯t simple. it actually blocked one of my energy cannons!¡± the energy cannons on the x-series warships could easily destroy a star. but now, it did not cause any damage to a planet. this was definitely abnormal. inside the x301 warship. the man with the octopus head said,¡± there is no data of an unknown disaster detected around this planet. c108 should have been destroyed by the creatures on the planet. report the situation back first.¡±¡± as soon as it finished speaking, its several tentacles quickly jumped on the keyboard. after a while, a document with pictures and text was sent out. inside the x401 warship. the man with the sea lion head said,¡±an energy cannon is useless?¡± where are the storm energy bullets?¡± he did as he was told. he pressed many buttons with both hands. ¡°xiu! whoosh! whoosh!¡± in the next moment¡­ dense energy bombs bombarded earth from all directions like a storm. ¡°whoosh!¡± it was also at this moment that a tall and handsome figure appeared in the void. it was lin fan. he saw¡­ lin fan raised his palm as starlight surrounded him. then, a huge palm that covered the sky appeared in the sky. ¡± universe in a palm!¡± in an instant, all the energy cannons sank into the huge palm and seemed to transform into starlight, emitting a dazzling light. ¡°impossible!¡± everyone in the x201, x301, and x401 warships screamed in horror. one had to know¡­ storm energy bombs, there were a lot of them, each of them could threaten domain lord level warriors. however, the person in front of him¡­however, with a flip of his hand, he easily blocked all the energy bombs. just how strong was he? the three men with the heads of a shark, an octopus, and a sea lion said solemnly,¡±¡± an unknown expert has been discovered. he might be the one who destroyed starship c108. be careful!¡± ¡± entering level one combat readiness!¡± ¡°beep!¡± the three battleships let out a soft sound. clearly, they were all extremely wary of lin fan. when the octopus-headed man gave the order, several claws jumped on the keyboard again. after giving the order, he sent a document to the captain. ¡°prepare the triple tsunami energy cannon!¡± the shark-headed man said. ¡°agreed!¡± the man with the octopus head said. ¡°agreed!¡± the sea lion head man said. the three x-series warships suddenly stacked together, turning into a huge triangular warship. then, the three battleships continuously gathered their energy toward the center, forming countless twisting electric snakes. these electric snakes quickly condensed and turned into an energy ball that was as dazzling as the sun. ¡°fire!¡± instantly, the energy ball started to churn. it was like a tsunami of energy that could destroy the world as it headed towards lin fan. the tsunami energy cannon was the most powerful attack of an x-series warship. an x-series battleship¡¯s tsunami energy cannon could kill universe level warriors. the triple tsunami energy cannon was an energy cannon fired by three x-series warships. even a king class expert would be heavily injured if hit head-on. ¡°roar!¡± the terrifying energy tsunami vaguely emitted the roar of an ancient beast, causing the entire space to tremble violently. it had endless power. regarding this¡­ lin fan just waved his palm. ¡± universe in a palm!¡± it covered the sky. no matter how strong and big the ancient beast was, it was still a living being in the universe. it could never destroy the universe or break free from it. the palm landed and instantly covered the energy tsunami, turning it into wisps of starlight and disappearing in an instant. ¡°what?¡± everyone in the three x-series warships let out a cry of horror again. and this¡­it was their last voice. Chapter 731 - 731 It Works; Conspiracy! 731 it works; conspiracy! the palm that blotted out the sky instantly wrapped around the three warships. ¡°whoosh!¡± instantly, the three battleships emitted strands of starlight. in the end, it dissipated into nothingness. at this point, the void returned to peace. lin fan turned around and returned to the coiling dragon villa. ¡­. the second brigade. ¡± c2018 reporting, spring field, coordinates 7981, 135, 189, planet discovered¡­¡± ¡± c2018 reporting, spring field, coordinates 7981, 135, 189 planet has been successfully occupied¡­¡± ¡­. one report after another was sent in and tabulated. at this moment, an urgent report was sent back. ¡°beep! the x201, x301, and x401 battleships had successfully arrived at coordinates 5901, 234, and 199.¡± after the notification sounded, everyone in the second brigade focused their attention. because not long ago, a warship had been destroyed in this position. now, three x-series warships were dispatched to deal with the situation. they were all looking forward to the next change. ¡°beep! the captain of the x301 warship sent back a document and found a suspected target.¡± ¡°beep! the x301 warship¡¯s captain sent back a document. the target was extremely dangerous.¡± in the next moment¡­ ¡°beep! the signals of the x201, x301, and x401 warships were lost.¡± ¡°beep! the signals of the x201, x301, and x401 warships were lost.¡± one voice after another echoed in the stadium. soon, a clamor broke out at the scene. ¡°what is it? three x-series warships lost their signals? this is impossible!¡± ¡°those are three x-series warships. how can they all lose their signals?¡± ¡°hurry up and call!¡± ¡°there must be a problem!¡± ¡­. hence, the second brigade took the initiative to search and call out. however, there was no reaction at all. after a long time, everyone finally admitted that the x201, x301, and x401 battleships had all been destroyed! everyone¡¯s faces were filled with disbelief. at this moment, the captain sitting in the upper seat said,¡±¡±before attacking the spring region, our ocean universe had already made a prediction. the four seasons universe might withdraw from the spring region and guard against the autumn region and the winter region.¡± ¡°or perhaps, we can gather a powerful force somewhere in the spring domain to counterattack.¡± ¡°from the looks of it, coordinates 5901, 234, 199 are very likely to be one of the counterattacks of the spring territory.¡± ¡± this is not something that the second team can solve. report it to the ocean universe center!¡± ¡­. in fact, during the attack, the ocean universe also encountered other counterattacks. they would all be dealt with by the great beings sent by the center of the ocean universe, and it would take a certain amount of time. this meant that earth would not be disturbed for a short period of time. time flew by like water. in the blink of an eye, five years had passed. in the past five years, lin fan had obtained three transcendence golden bodies, two immortal crystals, one king grade equipment, and one heaven and earth enlightenment from the system. under the effects of the massive amount of pure spirit qi, coupled with the aid of the heaven and earth enlightenment, lin fan¡¯s cultivation state had reached king level 6. he was extremely powerful. however, he was still dissatisfied. he had to vent his dissatisfaction. and so, lin fan cursed tai jun once more. as soon as he finished cursing, a crisp notification sounded in his mind. [ding! your enemy, tai jun, has been greatly affected by your curse. he is seriously injured and is in danger.] when lin fan heard this, he broke out into a smile. ¡°is the curse finally working? my persistence every day was not in vain.¡± ¡­. in the distant starry sky, in the myriad demon sect. tai jun had never left the palace all these years. he said to the outside world that he was in seclusion to comprehend the cultivation technique. in reality, he had been resisting the power of the curse. even though the sage had given him a magic treasure. however, as time passed. tai jun realized that the power of the curse was getting stronger and stronger, and in contrast, the effect of the magic treasure was getting smaller and smaller. he was fighting against the curse every day. if he relaxed a little, he would fall into eternal damnation. tai jun blamed all of this on the demonic sect. therefore, over the years, he had been constantly increasing his encirclement and suppression of the demonic sects. he wanted to force the demon sect master out and kill him. only by solving the problem from the source could he be free. however, the demon sect master was like a coward and did not show his face. this made tai jun extremely helpless. and today¡­ ¡°kacha!¡± cracks suddenly appeared on the magic treasure he was using to resist the curse. in the end, it shattered like a bubble. ¡°whoosh!¡± the pitch-black power of the curse instantly covered tai jun¡¯s entire body like a tidal wave. ¡°puff!¡± then, tai jun¡¯s mouth, nose, eyes, ears¡­blood spurted out like a pillar, and they became extremely ferocious and terrifying. ¡°roar!¡± tai jun roared into the sky, his voice shaking thousands of miles, scaring countless living beings into trembling and spitting out a large mouthful of blood. instantly, his entire body deflated like a balloon, becoming extremely dispirited. his bloody face was filled with madness and ruthlessness. ¡°from now on, my ten thousand demon sect and the demon sect will not rest until one of us dies!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, tai jun suddenly soared into the sky. his entire person was like a balloon in the sky that suddenly exploded. in an instant, the area within a million kilometers was dyed red. it was extremely terrifying. tai jun, die! the disciples of the thousand demons sect were stunned. then, they all knelt on the ground. ¡°greetings, sect master!¡± ¡°i¡¯m irreconcilable with the demon sect!¡± ¡°demon slayer sect, demon slayer master!¡± ¡°kill the demon sect!¡± ¡­. shouts of battle resounded throughout the world. all the myriad demon sect disciples ¡®eyes turned red. as long as the demon sect appeared, they would immediately kill them. in fact, it wasn¡¯t just the ten thousand demons sect. the water god palace, lightning sect, and other large factions also increased their attacks on the demonic sects. this was because in such a short period of time, the fire god palace lord and the myriad demon sect¡¯s sect master had both died, making them feel fear. this power was too terrifying. especially¡­ this kind of power was still in the hands of the enemy. all of a sudden, the days of the fiend sects became more and more difficult. ¡­. the demonic sect hidden in the darkness. all the higher-ups gathered together, and the atmosphere was a little gloomy. ¡°in the past few days, nearly a quarter of the hidden forces of our demon sect have been uprooted. ¡°now, all the factions that have a trace of ties with the demon sect have taken the initiative to stand up and draw a clear line with us.¡± as soon as he said this, the atmosphere became even more depressing. ¡°demon sect, do you really not know how to curse?¡± everyone¡¯s gazes focused on the demon sect master. the fire god palace lord and the myriad demon sect¡¯s sect master both insisted that the demon sect master had cursed them to death. how could this not be suspicious? ¡°i really don¡¯t know how to curse. at the very least, there was absolutely no curse that could kill an emperor-level powerhouse.¡± he also wanted to possess such power. if there was, why would the demon sect be afraid of enemies? those who did not submit to him would all be cursed to death! who exactly was it? why did they pin this matter on him? the demon sect master vaguely felt that a huge conspiracy was slowly unfolding towards him. Chapter 732 - 732 Happy News; Predicament! 732 happy news; predicament! the more the demon sect master thought about it, the more flustered he became. it was as if a huge palm was floating above his head and would fall at any moment to crush him into pieces. no, he had to think of a way to save himself. ¡°i have something to do and need to leave.¡± the demon sect master said anxiously.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed and he directly disappeared. only the higher-ups of the demonic sect were left looking at each other. ¡­. outside the thirty-three levels of heaven. a man who was surrounded by brilliant light suddenly opened his eyes. the sun and moon moved in his eyes, and his face could not be seen. ¡°taijun is dead? how dare you!¡± with a light shout, the surrounding space rippled like water. it was extremely shocking. his hands kept moving as if he was calculating something. however, all he got was nothingness. the man had no choice but to put down his hands and let out a muffled groan. ¡­. earth, coiling dragon villa. not long after lin fan finished cursing, a series of notifications rang out in his mind. [ding! your enemy taijun¡¯s soul was destroyed by your curse and his body died.] [ding! [congratulations, you have killed a level 5 martial monarch realm cultivator. you have received 50 billion experience points.]] a surge of pure energy flowed into lin fan¡¯s body. he only felt his body warm up and extremely comfortable. ¡°i thought we would have to wait a few more days. i didn¡¯t expect him to die just like that.¡± lin fan smiled. just as lin fan revealed a smile, another notification rang out in his mind. [ding! [tyranny has generated hatred towards you. current hatred level: 5 stars.]] tyrannical? who was this? [tai ba: tai jun¡¯s ancestor, cultivation unknown. because you cursed his junior, tai jun, to death, he developed hatred for you.] lin fan¡¯s face was filled with helplessness. it was really like beating up the little one, and now the old one came. this was truly endless. cultivation unknown? now, he could check the cultivation level of an emperor level expert. unknown? that was above the monarch level, the legendary holy master? this was probably the person who gave taijun the magic treasure. however, too overbearing? this name was really simple and crude. lin fan thought about it and said,¡± system, does tai ba know that i cursed tai jun to death?¡± [requires 10 million spirit stones. do you wish to inquire?] ¡°yes, sir!¡± [tyrannical doesn¡¯t know.] even though lin fan had already expected this outcome. however, after obtaining this result, he felt slightly relieved. ¡°thump! thump!¡± at this moment, there was a knock on the door. lin fan looked up. it was han tian. ¡°come in,¡± he said. when han ting heard this, she pushed the door open and walked in. ¡°han tian, what¡¯s the matter?¡± lin fan asked.¡± ¡°i want a child.¡± as han tian spoke, she threw herself into lin fan¡¯s embrace. a sweet fragrance entered lin fan¡¯s mouth. a month later, lin fan¡¯s door slowly opened. han tian walked out with a flushed face. half a year later, su ningjing walked in. ¡­. they had never wanted children all these years. to a large extent, he was worried that he would not have enough lifespan to give birth to a child. however, now that they had all reached the domain lord level, they had millions of years of lifespan. they didn¡¯t have to worry about lifespan at all. this gave them the idea of having children. however, sometimes, having a child was not something that could be done immediately. especially now that lin fan had become a king level expert, their cultivation had also reached domain lord level. that was even more troublesome. this was because when one¡¯s cultivation reached a certain level, one¡¯s life level would also increase. the higher the level of life, the harder it was for them to produce offspring. under such circumstances, he could only trouble lin fan. day and night, without rest. the sun shines on the incense burner and produces purple smoke. from a distance, i can see the waterfall hanging in front of the river. the stream flowed down three thousand feet, and it was suspected that the milky way fell from the nine heavens. ¡­. in the blink of an eye, another ten years passed. lin fan didn¡¯t cultivate. instead, he was working hard. however, the strange thing was that his cultivation speed did not decrease. on the contrary, it became even faster. right now, lin fan had already entered king level 7. at the same time, his constant toil finally had an effect. there were signs of life in huang ling¡¯s stomach. as a result, the entire coiling dragon villa was filled with a special atmosphere of joy besides the cultivation craze. if he was happy, then he should celebrate. hence, lin fan turned his attention to the curse technique and tyrant. [do you want to spend 10 million spirit stones to curse tai ba?] ¡°yes, sir!¡± lin fan said. instantly, the 10 million spirit stones in the inner space shattered and turned into nothingness. ¡­. 33 heavens. tai ba felt something and suddenly opened his eyes. ¡°curse power! how dare you!¡± with a slight thought, he instantly dispelled all the curses. then, his hands moved quickly to find the source. after a while, he slowly stopped. ¡°saint-level curse technique! no wonder he could curse tai jun to death. it turned out that a holy lord level expert had made a move.¡± ¡°but who is it?¡± first kill tai jun, then curse himself. was this a warning, or¡­declaring war? one figure after another appeared in tai ba¡¯s mind. his expression changed as he thought of something. ¡­. on the other hand, in the dark universe. killing and bloodshed were synonymous with this place. the air was filled with a nauseating smell. lin cheng zhen and li hao killed the enemies in front of them one after another. they were decisive and merciless. their bodies were covered in scarlet blood, some from their own blood, and some from their enemies. they were like demons from hell, ferocious and terrifying. now, judging from the aura emitted from their bodies. lin cheng zhen and li hao had both reached domain lord level. he had reached such a realm in such a short period of time just by cultivating on his own. this kind of advancement speed was truly astonishing. ¡°whoosh!¡± at this moment, countless monsters suddenly appeared from all directions. the leader had three heads and was about ten meters tall. he said sternly,¡± where are you running to?!¡± ¡°break their heads!¡± ¡°dig out their eyes!¡± ¡°i want to eat their hearts and livers!¡± ¡­. roars sounded from the surroundings. ¡°cheng zhen, we seem to be surrounded. the game is about to end.¡± li hao smiled bitterly.¡± ¡°i¡¯m sorry, we were supposed to hunt for treasures together and increase our cultivation.¡±¡± ¡°it¡¯s still too early to talk about this!¡± lin chengzhen said.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he took out a pitch-black talisman. he gritted his teeth and shouted,¡±activate!¡± ¡°whoosh!¡± a black hole suddenly appeared in front of him, sucking him and li hao in and disappearing in an instant. the three-headed monster in the distance said sternly,¡±what?¡± then, he rushed over. however, lin chengzhen and li hao were nowhere to be seen. Chapter 733 - 733 Annihilation in One Move; Anger! 733 annihilation in one move; anger! ten years passed in the blink of an eye. lin chengzhen and li hao returned to the dark universe continent that was filled with a stench. compared to ten years ago, their appearances now had a few more hints of evilness. they had a few obviously strange talismans on their bodies, a scarlet vertical pupil between their eyebrows, and a string of small skull-like pendants hanging around their necks. they charged forward and easily tore the monsters not far away into pieces. from the aura they gave off, they were actually domain lord level 9! in fact, he was only a step away from breaking through to the universe level! such a breakthrough speed was simply shocking. ¡°cheng zhen, how is it?¡± li hao asked excitedly. didn¡¯t i say that you can quickly become stronger after entering the mystic realm?¡± lin chengzhen smiled and shook his head. he still vaguely remembered li hao apologizing to him ten years ago. however, just as li hao said, he had become stronger! he had become very strong! ¡°let¡¯s go and take revenge!¡± li hao said.¡± ¡°good!¡± lin chengzhen said. before long, they encountered three monsters. ten years ago, lin chengzhen and li hao could only run away when they met him. but now, he was beaten until he kept coughing up blood. ¡°how did you suddenly become so powerful?¡± the three-headed monster asked in shock.¡± what responded to him was li hao¡¯s saber that was dozens of meters long. blood splattered everywhere. ¡­. on the other hand, earth. in these 10 years, lin fan was the same as the past few years. whenever he was free, he would work hard. he worked very hard. unfortunately, the result was not satisfactory. other than huang ling, there were still no signs of life in the stomachs of the others. after 10 years of careful recuperation. other than obvious signs of life, huang ling¡¯s stomach did not bulge at all. huang ling was already mentally prepared for this, so she wasn¡¯t too worried. in the past ten years, lin fan had obtained five transcendence golden bodies, four immortal crystals, two emperor grade equipment, and some treasures to cultivate the power of laws from the system. lin fan¡¯s cultivation state had risen once again, reaching king level 8. ¡­. on this day, lin fan had just finished working hard. he suddenly raised his eyebrows. that was because a crisp notification sounded out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! level 1 king stage cultivator detected.] [ding! level 2 king stage cultivator detected.] [ding! level 3 king stage cultivator detected.] ¡­. lin fan raised his head slowly and looked out into the endless void. a huge golden battleship appeared in the sky above earth. there was a huge z at the bottom of the warship. inside the battleship, there were a man with a seal head, a man with a whale head, a man with a sea snake head, and a powerful aura around him. they were a group of experts sent by the center of the ocean universe to deal with the hidden enemies of the four seasons universe. if an ordinary person saw them, they would definitely be scared out of their wits. however, lin fan¡¯s face remained calm. that was because, under the observation of the heavenly eye, all the people on the warship were covered in weaknesses, and they could be destroyed with a flip of their hands. he took a step forward and disappeared from the coiling dragon villa. ¡­. at this moment, in the golden warship. men with powerful auras stared at the blue planet in front of them with sharp eyes. ¡°5901, 234, 199, this is it.¡± ¡°isn¡¯t it just an ordinary planet?¡± ¡°hmm? something didn¡¯t seem right. why did this planet have such dense spiritual energy?¡± ¡°what astonishing spiritual energy!¡± ¡°not only spiritual energy, but many spiritual dragons have also appeared!¡± ¡°there is definitely a big secret on this planet!¡± as they spoke, their gazes towards earth gradually became incomparably greedy. ¡°break the protective shield first!¡± a thick energy ray that was like a pillar that reached the sky poured down. ¡°whoosh!¡± almost at the same time as the energy beam fell, a light sword ten times the size of the energy beam came straight at him. the entire universe was covered in white light. in the golden battleship, the eyes of the man with the seal head, the man with the whale head, the man with the sea snake head, and everyone else narrowed as they shouted in fear,¡±¡±not good!¡± their hair instantly stood on end. they wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. ¡°boom!¡± an earth-shattering explosion sounded. the golden battleship exploded in an instant. it was dazzling and resplendent. annihilate the enemy in one move! lin fan used his golden eyes to scan for two seconds. after confirming that he had killed all the enemies, he turned around and returned to earth. lin fan would never show any mercy to those who wanted to harm earth. ¡­. at the center of the ocean universe. one after another, mail after mail came from all the universes. countless murlocs quickly gathered and analyzed the information and issued orders. everything was handled in an orderly manner. ¡°beep beep beep!¡± at this moment, an urgent alarm suddenly sounded at the scene. all the mermen looked over. the next moment, all the mermen widened their eyes in unison. ¡°we lost contact with the z010 gold warship?!¡± ¡°quickly try calling!¡± ¡­. ¡°beep toot!¡± however, no matter how much they called, all they got was a busy tone. ¡°what is the mission of the z010 gold warship?¡± ¡°dealing with the powerful enemies in the four seasons universe¡¯s spring region, coordinates 6521, 111, 134; 2131,322,141.. 5901,234,199.not long ago, the z010 golden warship sent back news that it had successfully solved the problem of coordinates 5210, 132, 099. the location where the z010 golden warship lost its signal was 5901, 234, 199!¡± ¡°quick, report the situation!¡± ¡°yes, sir!¡± this news kept being uploaded. before long, it appeared in the hands of ocean universe master. ocean universe master was a nine-headed flood dragon, and his body was filled with endless terrifying power. with just a glance, he could tear any living being into pieces. ¡°the destruction of the z010 gold warship is a provocation to the ocean universe!¡± his voice was like thunder, causing the entire palace to tremble. it had to be said that this nine-headed flood dragon was truly domineering. he let people invade other people¡¯s territory. when others resisted, he said that they were provoking him. after a while, the nine-headed flood dragon spoke again,¡±¡±zach, i appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the crusade. you will lead the z001, z002, z003, z004, z005, z006, z007, z008, and z009 battleships to completely destroy the spring field coordinates 5901, 234, and 199 planets.¡± ¡°i want you to make a name for yourself in the ocean universe!¡± when everyone in the hall heard this, they could not help but be shocked. one had to know that zach had already reached the ninth layer of the king level hundreds of thousands of years ago. some people said that he had already broken through to the imperial level. some even said that he had already defeated an emperor-ranked powerhouse! however, no matter what, his strength was publicly acknowledged. with him as the commander, he would lead nine gold z-series warships. this was enough to show how much importance and rage ocean universe master placed on coordinates 5901, 234, 199! below, a man with a flood dragon head said respectfully,¡±¡±yes, sir!¡± with a flash, he disappeared from the hall. the entire palace regained its peace. Chapter 734 - 734 Arrival; Annihilation! (2) 734 arrival; annihilation! (2) the nine z-series golden warships were like nine suns that were advancing rapidly in the void. they were incomparably dazzling and eye-catching. the baleful aura was oppressive, and wherever it passed, all living beings retreated. at the center of the battleship z001. zach crossed his arms and stared at the endless void with his sharp eyes. at this moment, a message popped up from the z001 system. [hint: a planet has appeared in the predetermined orbit. it is expected to collide with it in 30 minutes. do you want to enter the alternative orbit?]] ¡°no!¡± zach said lightly. as soon as he finished speaking, he raised his finger slightly. ¡°whoosh!¡± in an instant, a dazzling energy pillar shot out. ¡°boom!¡± a moment later, a planet in the distance exploded, turning into fireworks that filled the sky. dazzling and resplendent. ¡­. in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. for the past half a year, other than cultivating, lin fan had been working hard. his strength had been steadily improving. on this day, lin fan had just finished cultivating. a series of clear notifications suddenly sounded in his mind. [ding! level 1 king stage cultivator detected.] [ding! level 2 king stage cultivator detected.] [ding! level 3 king stage cultivator detected.] [ding! level 4 king stage cultivator detected.] ¡­. [ding! level 1 martial monarch realm cultivator detected.] when lin fan heard this, his brows twitched. emperor level expert! even though lin fan had already killed two emperor level beings. however, they were all curses. lin fan had never even met them before. therefore¡­ strictly speaking, this was the first time he was so close to a monarch. emperor level! lin fan¡¯s heart raced. he slowly raised his head and looked into the void with his pair of heavenly eyes. but soon, lin fan¡¯s face turned weird. because, in his vision, everyone was filled with countless weaknesses, including the strongest among them. emperor-ranked? just this? lin fan shook his head slightly. stepping out, he disappeared from where he was. ¡­. at this moment, nine golden warships were floating in the air in a fan-shaped formation. in the z001 golden warship. zach¡¯s sharp eyes swept over the earth in front of him. invisible, it formed a gust of wind in the void that was like a calm lake, quickly rippling in all directions. ¡°buzz!¡± before the strong wind reached earth, it was completely blocked by a transparent energy barrier and did not affect earth at all. zach raised his eyebrows.¡± his eyes shone with golden light, as if there was a giant dragon circling around him, staring at the earth. ¡°a small planet actually has such dense spiritual energy! there were some secrets. perhaps, he should go in and investigate.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and condensed an energy light spot. the light spot quickly grew larger, and in an instant, it became the size of a football, the size of a pot lid¡­in the end, it became the size of a football field. ¡°whoosh!¡± then, the energy ball the size of a football field flew toward earth at high speed. in zach¡¯s eyes, the protective shield on the surface of the earth would shatter like a bubble in the next moment. perhaps, more than half of the entire earth would be destroyed, or even completely destroyed. zach didn¡¯t care about this at all. however, the next moment, zach¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly. that was because, just as the energy ball was about to reach earth, a figure suddenly appeared in front of it. it was lin fan! he saw¡­lin fan raised his hand slowly. ¡± universe in a palm!¡± a huge palm phantom appeared in the air, surrounded by starlight, dazzling and eye-catching. when the energy ball came into contact with his palm, it was like a drop of water merging into the sea. it did not set off any waves and disappeared in an instant. ¡°hmm?¡± in the z001 golden warship, zach raised his eyebrows and a touch of surprise appeared on his face. with a flash, he appeared in the void. zach stared at lin fan with his sharp eyes and said,¡±¡±you¡¯re the one who destroyed the z010 warship, right? i don¡¯t think i have any information on you. who are you? what is your position in the four seasons universe?¡± he stood with his hands behind his back and looked down at lin fan. it exuded the contempt of an expert. lin fan said,¡± who are you?¡± lin fan could already tell from the eye of heaven that zach and the rest could be killed with a flip of his hand. therefore, he was not in a hurry. using this opportunity to ask about the situation in the ocean universe was also a good thing. after all, after killing them, the ocean universe might send even stronger people. only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. ¡± i¡¯m heavenly king zach of the ocean universe,¡± zach said proudly.¡± i¡¯m the special marshal of the ocean universe master!¡±¡± lin fan nodded his head,¡± can your strength in the ocean universe be ranked in the top 10?¡±¡± ¡°are you trying to find out about the strength of my ocean universe? how ridiculous! you¡¯d better be a muddle-headed ghost!¡± zach shouted. as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly swung his saber. the mighty saber energy seemed to have split the entire universe. the reason why zach was chatting with lin fan was to prepare this killer move. he wanted to destroy lin fan and earth. the strength that lin fan had displayed earlier was simply too shocking and terrifying. even zach felt that it would be a tough battle. there was even a possibility of capsizing. zach, on the other hand, liked to kill all possibilities in the cradle. the mighty blade energy shone brightly on lin fan¡¯s face. however, lin fan¡¯s expression did not change at all. he shook his head slightly and said,¡±why are you in such a hurry to attack?¡±¡± as soon as he finished speaking, a majestic transcendence golden body suddenly appeared behind lin fan. the transcendence golden body instantly merged into his body. ¡°whoosh!¡± instantly, lin fan¡¯s entire body shone with a dazzling golden light. the golden light gathered crazily towards his fist, forming a huge golden fist shadow in the air. he threw a punch. a terrifying power surged out like a tsunami. ¡°boom!¡± the mighty saber energy shattered like a bubble. zach¡¯s pupils constricted, and his entire face turned pale. he cried out in horror,¡±impossible!¡± this was his last voice. as for z001, z002, z003¡­the people in the battleship did not even make a sound. they only made a stunned expression. ¡°boom!¡± fist shadows covered the area. zach, z001, z002, z003, and the rest of the battleships, as well as everyone on the battleships, all turned into nothingness, completely disappearing from this world. after a long time, the fist shadow slowly disappeared. what replaced it was a huge black hole in the void. at this moment, a series of notifications rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind.

[ding! killed a level 1 martial monarch realm cultivator. obtained 10 billion experience points.] Chapter 735 - 735 What Kind of Place Is This! 735 what kind of place is this! the energy surged into lin fan¡¯s body. lin fan felt his body warm up. he took a step forward and disappeared. ¡­. at the center of the ocean universe. countless pieces of information flowed like water as they gathered. the mermen gathered and analyzed in an orderly manner. ¡°beep! heavenly king zach led his army to coordinates 5901, 234, 199.¡± after this email appeared, the fishmen¡¯s figures could not help but pause slightly and look in the direction of the email. ¡°keep an eye on heavenly king zach¡¯s news,¡± said the merman in the upper position.¡± ¡°yes, sir!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, an urgent alarm suddenly sounded at the scene. ¡°beep beep beep!¡± ¡°z001,z002,z003.. z009 signal lost.¡± ¡°thump! thump!¡± the hearts of all the murlocs present suddenly beat faster. all nine golden warships had lost their signals? how was this possible? the merman in the upper position suddenly stood up and said,¡±there must be an unknown magnetic field nearby. now, call for king zach at all frequencies.¡± after all, there were nine golden warships! there was even heavenly king zach. if something happened to all of them, it would definitely be a huge earthquake in the universe! tsunami! ¡°yes, sir!¡± all the mermen responded in unison, and then quickly called zach. ¡°heavenly king zach, please reply.¡± ¡°this is the center of the ocean universe, calling heavenly king zach.¡± ¡°heavenly king zach¡­¡± the only response they got was a busy tone. a moment later, the superior murloc fell back into his seat with a dejected expression. he was terrified of the future of himself and the entire ocean universe. after a while, he picked up the communicator and reported the specific situation. ¡­. ocean universe palace. ¡°what?!¡± the nine-headed flood dragon looked at the report in front of it and shouted sternly. ¡°boom!¡± in the clear sky, thunder suddenly exploded. countless lightning snakes instantly tore the sky apart. ¡°spring field 5901, 234, 199!¡±the nine-headed flood dragon shouted,¡± 5901 killed my heavenly king zach and annihilated my elites! he is the greatest enemy of our ocean universe! a year later, i will personally lead the army to destroy them and take revenge for zach and the marine universe warriors! raise the prestige of our ocean universe!¡± ¡°as ordered!¡± below, everyone kowtowed in unison, and their faces were still filled with horror. zach was dead, nine golden warships were destroyed, and the ocean universe master was fighting personally! every piece of news was shocking. now, they were all gathered together! something big¡­ rise! ¡­. as soon as the denunciation was issued, countless worlds began to discuss. ¡°kill zach and destroy nine golden warships! oh my god, 5901, what is this place?¡± ¡°zach, that¡¯s a monarch level expert!¡± ¡°that must be where the four seasons universe¡¯s experts gather!¡± ¡°i told you, our four seasons universe will definitely fight back!¡± ¡°that¡¯s great!¡± ¡­. four seasons universe center, palace. all the higher-ups gathered. they had also heard the news about 5901 and were shocked. ¡°isn¡¯t our plan to temporarily give up on the spring and summer regions and focus our forces on protecting the autumn and winter regions? who was the power of 5901?¡± ¡°this power was actually able to kill zach and destroy 10 golden warships. it¡¯s terrifyingly powerful!¡± ¡°is this the hidden power of our four seasons universe?¡± ¡°maybe it¡¯s a backup plan for us universe masters?¡± everyone spoke one after another, causing the originally dull palace to gradually become lively. everyone¡¯s faces were filled with anticipation. his expectations for the future. ¡°ta ta!¡± at this moment, the first elder slowly walked over. everyone suddenly stopped talking and looked at the first elder with questioning eyes. ¡± i know what you¡¯re thinking,¡± the great elder sighed.¡± unfortunately, 5901 isn¡¯t a backup plan for universe masters. our policy has always been to temporarily retreat to the autumn and winter regions. we didn¡¯t hide this power¡­¡± ¡°i don¡¯t even know what this power is!¡± ¡°this is an unfamiliar and powerful faction. the only thing worth rejoicing about is that it seems to be helping our four seasons universe.¡± when everyone heard this, they all revealed a bitter expression. the great elder turned to look at the spring territory master and said,¡±¡±do you know 5901?¡± ¡°i don¡¯t know.¡± the lord of spring shook his head.¡± at this moment, mu jun qin xian opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but no words came out. the lord of spring noticed this and asked,¡±mu jun, what¡¯s the matter?¡± mu jun was one of his most trusted subordinates. many things in the spring field were handled by him, and he could be considered the chief butler of the spring field. ¡°zone leader, do you still remember the time when you asked me to recruit talents from all over the world to participate in the cosmic contest?¡± the lord of spring could not help but frown. in the past, the struggle for hegemony in the universe was indeed a very important matter. however, couldn¡¯t he tell what was going on? the spring field was about to be completely conquered, and the entire four seasons universe might be completely destroyed! qin xian also saw the change in the lord of spring¡¯s expression. he could not help but complain in his heart. however, if he didn¡¯t finish his sentence halfway, it would be even worse. therefore, qin xian could only brace himself and continue,¡±¡±before the universe contest, i went to 5901.¡± ¡°buzz!¡± instantly, everyone in the palace gathered their gazes. although qin xian and the lord of spring were chatting softly. however, how profound were the cultivation levels of the people present? he easily heard their conversation. qin xian felt as if he was being crushed by a huge mountain under everyone¡¯s gaze. he felt extremely heavy, and sweat rolled down his forehead. ¡°you¡¯re the wood lord of the spring field, right?¡± ¡°you just said that you went to 5901?¡± seeing that qin xian was still in a daze, the spring territory master couldn¡¯t help but shout in a low voice,¡±¡±mu jun, why aren¡¯t you answering the great elder¡¯s question?¡± only then did qin xian react and hurriedly said,¡±first elder, i did go to 5901, probably a few decades ago.¡± when the great elder heard this, a golden light flashed in his eyes that were hidden behind the mask. he said,¡±oh? what kind of planet was 5901?¡± ¡°i didn¡¯t enter the planet¡­¡± qin xian said. everyone frowned when they heard that. ¡± i only came to the outside of planet 5901 because there was a powerful array on the surface of the planet that blocked me. however, just from the outside, i saw countless spirit dragons on this planet!¡± qin xian said hurriedly.¡± everyone¡¯s expression changed slightly. spirit dragon! this was a special image that would only be produced when the spiritual energy was extremely dense. planet 5901 was indeed extraordinary! ¡°also, i met the leader of planet 5901.¡± ¡°buzz!¡± when everyone heard this, they all used even more focused gazes to gather on qin xian. Chapter 736 - 736 Decided; As Worthy of You! 736 decided; as worthy of you! according to everyone¡¯s speculation, star lord 5901 was very likely to be closely related to the person who killed zach and destroyed the 10 golden warships. in fact, it might even be him! it was no wonder that everyone was so concerned about it. qin xian¡¯s back felt a little heavy after being stared at by so many important figures. after a while, he said with much difficulty,¡± that planet is called earth, and its owner is called lin fan.¡± earth? lin fan? everyone silently memorized these two names in their hearts. qin xian continued,¡± lin fan is extremely handsome. according to the core disciples of dragon tiger sect, fenghua sect, true martial sect, and the others, lin fan is extremely strong and bottomless! defeating these core disciples was just a single move.¡± ¡°thus, i went to invite him to participate in the universe contest and explained the benefits.¡± ¡°but lin fan didn¡¯t seem to mind at all and rejected him directly.¡± hearing this, everyone began to analyze quickly in their hearts. the longhu sect, fenghua sect, and true martial sect were all sects that were slightly famous. lin fan¡¯s strength was not simple to defeat these core disciples in one move. and the universe competition was a grand event that happened once every million years. especially this time, with the attention of the sacred lord, it was even more important. in the end, the other party rejected him without hesitation? this explained many things. perhaps the other party had many opportunities and didn¡¯t care about the rewards of the universe competition. in fact, there was already a sacred lord behind him! when everyone thought of this, their impression of earth and lin fan¡¯s rankings deepened and became even more serious. at this moment, the great elder said,¡± no matter what, lin fan is helping us to defend against the ocean universe. the stronger he is, the greater our chances.¡± after pausing for a moment, he continued,¡± one year from now, the ocean universe master will come to 5901 personally. i plan to lead the army to help lin fan. is anyone willing to go with me?¡±¡± when everyone heard this, they were all stunned. however, they soon revealed a look of realization. but now, lin fan was so domineering. it was very likely that there was a sacred lord standing behind him. if he were to form a relationship with lin fan and the sacred master behind him because of this¡­ then, the crisis of the four seasons universe would be resolved. taking a step back, even if lin fan didn¡¯t have a sacred master behind him¡­ however, lin fan had the power to kill zach and destroy 10 golden battleships. he was worth recruiting. in fact, if lin fan could hold off the ocean universe master, the four seasons universe could even use this chance to crush the ocean universe¡¯s attack in one fell swoop. in a sense, this was definitely an opportunity. thinking of this, the lord of spring was the first to say,¡±¡±i¡¯m the master of the spring region. it¡¯s my duty to protect the spring region!¡± then, everyone chimed in. ¡°i¡¯m willing to go with you!¡± ¡°me too!¡± ¡°i¡¯ll go too!¡± ¡°i¡¯m willing to go!¡± ¡­. many voices echoed in the palace. it looked like it was going to have a life and death battle with the ocean universe. ¡­. dragon tiger sect. ever since the spring field was attacked by the ocean universe, the once powerful dragon tiger sect had become very miserable. ¡°where is the ocean universe army?¡± ¡°it stopped! the ocean universe army stopped advancing!¡± ¡°really?¡± ¡°that¡¯s great!¡± the heated discussions rose and fell. many people went to check on the situation. when they received confirmation, everyone was delighted. ¡°what is going on?¡± ¡°yeah, why did the ocean universe stop?¡± ¡± quickly look at the cosmic news!¡± ¡± something big has happened in the universe news!¡± everyone took out their communicators. ¡°the ocean universe issued a declaration against 5901?¡± ¡°5901 killed zach? destroyed 10 golden warships?¡± ¡°this is definitely the counterattack of our four seasons universe!¡± ¡°that¡¯s great!¡± ¡­. qin qiuliang, who was in the crowd, picked up his communicator. in the next moment, his pupils constricted. because he saw planet 5901 on the news. it was earth. in that case, the person who killed zach and destroyed the golden battleship could very well be lin fan! qin qiuliang praised,¡±as expected of you!¡±¡± ¡­. earth. lin fan was completely oblivious to all of this. after merging and linking up his cultivation techniques, he cursed sacred lord tyrannical out of boredom. then, he looked at his character relationships and found that all the familiar people were in their normal states. he felt a little relieved. then, lin fan placed his attention on ma zheng and used his soul to communicate with him. ¡°ma zheng!¡± ¡­. in a spacious meeting hall. originally, ma zheng was discussing something with a group of people. when he heard this voice, his expression suddenly turned solemn. then, he said to everyone,¡±you guys can leave first.¡±¡± everyone was slightly stunned. didn¡¯t he want to make a decision as soon as possible? why was he asking him to retreat now? ma zheng saw that everyone was still in a daze and could not help but shout,¡±hurry up and retreat!¡± ¡°yes, sir!¡± the crowd no longer dared to hesitate and left. after the door closed, ma zheng hurriedly knelt on the ground and said respectfully,¡±greetings, master!¡± even though lin fan wasn¡¯t there. however, ma zheng did not dare to neglect his etiquette. ¡°master, i¡¯m sorry to have kept you waiting. i was in the middle of a meeting with the upper echelons of the raincloud sanctum.¡±ma zheng said. lin fan said,¡± it¡¯s fine. what¡¯s your status in the raincloud sanctum now?¡±¡± ¡°i¡¯m now the vice altar master of raincloud sanctum.¡± ma zheng said. ¡°that¡¯s right!¡± lin fan said. these words could be said to be lin fan¡¯s heartfelt words. one had to know¡­ not long ago, ma zheng was just an ordinary elder. in fact, he had only joined the raincloud altar for less than a hundred years. this speed of advancement was truly astonishing. ¡°all of this is thanks to master¡¯s nurturing!¡± ma zheng said respectfully.¡± these words were also ma zheng¡¯s heartfelt words. he believed that he was capable. however, in this world, the strong were always respected. without enough power, no matter how strong one¡¯s ability was, it would be useless. and lin fan had given him such power. ¡± master,¡± ma zheng said,¡± i heard that the master of the ocean universe has issued a declaration of war against earth. he¡¯s preparing to personally lead his army to launch an attack in a year¡¯s time. is there anything i can help you with?¡±¡± lin fan raised his brows. the ocean master was personally leading the army? this formation was definitely not small. however, lin fan¡¯s tone was still very calm as he said,¡±¡±you don¡¯t have to worry about this matter. ¡°the only thing you have to do now is to continue to become stronger and obtain greater power.¡± through this matter, lin fan felt that having power was an extremely important thing. if he had a powerful enough force, the ocean lord would have turned into ashes without him knowing as soon as he issued such a declaration. ¡°i¡¯ll teach you a cultivation technique now. cultivate well.¡±lin fan said. ¡°thank you, master.¡± ma zheng said excitedly. Chapter 737 - 737 Defense; Expedition! 737 defense; expedition! lin fan spent three days to teach ma zhong a king level skill. only then did the soul communication end. then, he turned his attention to the system. ¡°system, can earth¡¯s defensive array block the ocean universe?¡± [requires 1 million spirit stones. do you wish to inquire?] ¡°yes.¡± lin fan said without hesitation. [sure.] when lin fan heard that, he heaved a sigh of relief. then, he asked,¡±what kind of power can earth¡¯s current defensive array withstand?¡±¡± [requires 10 million spirit stones. do you wish to inquire?] ¡°yes.¡± lin fan said. [able to resist 10 holy lords, all of them attacking with their full strength for 100 years.] lin fan¡¯s heart tightened. it could only withstand 10 sacred lords ¡®full-power attacks for 100 years. what if 20 of them came? what if they attacked 1000 years? there was still danger! it had to be reinforced! and so, lin fan placed a lot of spirit stones and immortal crystals around the world in a specific way. then, he quickly drew a talisman. in the following period of time, a very strange scene appeared on the entire earth. rings of strange talismans spread out in all directions. when they covered the entire sky, they seemed to melt and disappear in an instant. at first, many people were surprised. some people took photos as mementos, some posted on their moments, and weibo was the top trending topic for a long time. however, as time passed, everyone became accustomed to it. in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. lin fan finally stopped. he looked at the 15 overlapping protective barriers on the surface and revealed a satisfied expression. ¡°15 defensive arrays. even if 10 sacred lords come, it will take 1500 years to break through. after 1500 years, i should be at the sacred lord realm. at that time, killing a few sacred lords won¡¯t be difficult.¡± lin fan¡¯s words were so casual. if 10 sacred lords really came, who would continue attacking after their attacks were ineffective? furthermore, it was 1500 years ago! even if the other party really had such perseverance, it was impossible for him to have the ability to continue erupting. to reach the holy lord state in 1500 years, lin fan was probably the only one who would dare to say such a thing. one had to know¡­ lin fan was only a king level 8 cultivator. if he wanted to become a holy lord, there was still a small realm of the king realm and a whole realm of the emperor realm. not to mention the huge gap between the king level and the emperor level, countless people could not cross it in their lifetime. just talking about it, if an emperor level expert wanted to break through a minor realm, it would take tens of millions of years. as for breaking through to the saint lord realm, that was not something nian yue could calculate. however, lin fan wanted to use 1500 years to reach the holy lord state. if others knew about this, they would definitely say that lin fan was bragging. sometimes, the truth would shut everyone¡¯s mouth. ¡­. on this day. a star-like, sci-fi looking spaceship appeared in the center of the ocean universe. a large group of uniformed soldiers stood neatly in front of the spaceship. from afar, they looked like dense ants. at this moment, a dazzling golden light landed in the sky. in the golden light, a nine-headed flood dragon wearing a royal robe slowly appeared. all the warriors knelt down and said loudly,¡±¡± greetings, universe master!¡± the nine-headed flood dragon¡¯s sharp eyes swept across the warriors and said,¡±¡±the ocean universe is vast and boundless, invincible!¡± ¡°of course, there are people who killed my heavenly king and destroyed my elites. what do you think we should do?¡± ¡°kill!¡± the soldiers shouted in unison. the momentum was vast and shook the heavens and the earth. the nine-headed flood dragon nodded in satisfaction and said,¡±that¡¯s right, kill!¡± we will flatten 5901 and conquer the spring field, spreading the name of our ocean universe!¡± ¡°we will flatten 5901, conquer the spring field, and spread the name of our ocean universe!¡±all the warriors said in unison. ¡°let¡¯s go!¡± the nine-headed flood dragon said. ¡°ta ta ta!¡± the soldiers walked towards the spaceship in unison. the spaceship started, and golden light shone brightly. it was like a star that streaked across the sky, attracting the attention of countless people. the ocean universe master¡¯s personal expedition had officially begun! ¡­. now, lin fan had prepared everything that he needed to. he seemed very calm. today, he had gathered with everyone in the coiling dragon villa. they were having a barbecue and chatting at the same time. it was extremely comfortable. at this moment, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! level 1 king realm cultivator detected.] [ding! level two king stage cultivator detected.] [ding! level 3 king stage cultivator detected.] ¡­. [ding! level 9 king realm cultivator detected.] [ding! level 4 martial monarch realm cultivator detected.] when lin fan heard this, his brows twitched as he stood up abruptly. could it be that the marine universe army had arrived? he quickly raised his head and looked up into the sky with his heavenly eye. lin fan had come into contact with the ocean universe twice before and knew that they were all fish heads and human bodies. but now, why was the person in the sky with a human head and a human body? lin fan frowned. the only fortunate thing was that under the observation of the heaven¡¯s eye, other than the cultivators at the fourth level of the imperial level who only had a dozen fatal weaknesses, the rest of the people were covered in countless weaknesses that he could easily resolve. hu tian, su ningjing, and the others also sensed lin fan¡¯s abnormality. they asked,¡± lin fan, what¡¯s wrong?¡± lin fan smiled and said,¡± it¡¯s nothing. we just had some guests.¡±¡± at this moment, a loud and clear voice reverberated throughout the entire earth. ¡± star master lin fan, i¡¯m the four seasons universe¡¯s great elder. i have something to discuss with you. can i have a chat with you?¡±¡± lin fan heard that and smiled,¡± look, there are guests, right?¡± i¡¯ll go over and have a chat first.¡± as he spoke, he cast a reassuring look at everyone. then, he took a step forward and instantly disappeared. ¡­. in the void. dozens of battleships gathered together. a large group of men and women with powerful auras stood in the air, looking at the earth from afar, and occasionally let out a burst of discussion. ¡°is this 5901? as expected, it contained a large amount of spiritual energy!¡± ¡°i¡¯ve never seen so many spirit dragons in my life!¡± ¡°i really don¡¯t know what the situation on this planet is like.¡± ¡°unbelievable!¡± ¡­. in fact, not only were the experts who had come to earth for the first time astonished, the wood lord qin xian was also astonished. this was because the earth today had undergone a huge change compared to a few decades ago. the spiritual energy was even denser. generally speaking, the spiritual energy on a planet was fixed, and the number of cultivators was constantly increasing. this caused the spiritual energy on the planet to decrease over time. however, the number of planets was increasing in violation of the law? what was going on? the first elder, who had been silently observing earth, said,¡±¡±someone is coming.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, ripples suddenly appeared in the distant space like water. then, a tall and handsome figure slowly appeared. it was¡­ lin fan! Chapter 738 - 738 Help; Arrival! 738 help; arrival! lin fan¡¯s gaze swept across everyone. finally, it fell on qin xian. ¡°mu jun, may i know why you came here this time?¡± originally, qin xian only wanted to be invisible. who would have thought that lin fan would ask him? he saw many big shots looking at him. hence, he could only bite the bullet and say,¡± star master lin, this is the great elder of the four seasons universe. this is the master of the spring territory. these are the higher-ups and experts of the four seasons universe. we came here to help you.¡± ¡°oh? help me?¡± when lin fan heard that, he couldn¡¯t help but take a look at the masked man. lin fan had some understanding of the positions in the four seasons universe. the great elder was an existence whose status was only lower than that of the four seasons universe master. no wonder his cultivation had reached emperor level 4. ¡°star master lin, thank you for continuously defeating the marine universe army and protecting the spring zone.¡± lin fan said,¡± i¡¯m sorry, i don¡¯t have any plans to protect the spring field. it¡¯s just that someone attacked earth and i was just defending.¡±¡± the great elder had obviously expected this answer. therefore, he was not too surprised. he continued,¡± no matter what, the invasion of the ocean universe is because star lord lin has already encountered a huge obstacle. he has even come to a standstill.¡± ¡± maybe star master lin doesn¡¯t know,¡± he said after a pause.¡± it¡¯s precisely because of this obstruction that ocean universe master is completely enraged.¡± ¡± according to the news from four seasons universe, ocean universe master is leading an army and preparing to launch a terrifying attack on the spring zone, especially earth!¡± as he said this, his tone became heavy. ¡°after we received the news, we immediately rushed over so that we could work together with star lord lin to resist the ocean universe.¡± lin fan nodded and didn¡¯t say anything else. the great elder continued,¡± i have a battle plan here. i wonder what star lord lin thinks.¡±¡± ¡± we came here secretly this time, so the marine universe masters probably didn¡¯t get the news. if we hide on earth and suddenly attack the marine universe army at the critical moment, we¡¯re very confident that we can catch them off guard and even defeat them in one fell swoop!¡± when he said this, his tone became extremely high-pitched. it was as if they had already seen the grand scene of defeating the ocean universe. lin fan glanced at the great elder and said,¡± thank you so much for coming to help. however, it¡¯s fine if you enter earth. we don¡¯t like outsiders.¡±¡± even though lin fan could easily take care of everyone here. however, if they were allowed to enter earth and destroy it, it would be extremely troublesome. lin fan didn¡¯t want that to happen. as for the threat of the ocean universe, lin fan was not afraid at all. after all, he had already gotten the answer from the system. the ocean universe was unable to break through earth¡¯s first layer of defense array. now, earth had 15 layers of protective arrays! ¡°as for the battle plan, i don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need to make it. when you want to help, just help.¡± as the sound of his voice faded, a series of notifications rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! ricka has aggro towards you, 3 stars.] [ding! hong kai has hatred towards you, hatred points: 1 star.] [ding! li jianhu has hatred towards you, hatred points: 1 star.] [ding! kai zhen has hatred towards you, hatred points: 1 star.] ¡­. when lin fan heard this, his brows twitched. good heavens, these people¡¯s hearts were really smaller than a needle¡¯s eye. one sentence and they all hated him? fortunately, they were not allowed to enter earth. then, lin fan placed his attention on rika, who had 3 stars of hatred points. [rika: level 4 overlord. the great elder of the four seasons universe hates you because you refused to let him enter earth.] refusing to enter earth would result in 3 stars of hatred? first elder, the road is too narrow! lin fan took a deep look at the grand elder before disappearing into the void like a phantom. everyone looked at each other. then, there was a burst of discussion. ¡°isn¡¯t this lin fan a little too condescending?¡± ¡°we came over to help out of goodwill, but he actually said that!¡± ¡°i¡¯m so angry!¡± ¡°is killing zach so great? he didn¡¯t know if he killed them alone or if many people killed them together!¡± ¡°let him fend for himself!¡± ¡­. the first elder frowned. he stared at the earth and the countless roaring spirit dragons. after a while, his brows relaxed and he said with a smile,¡±it¡¯s normal for experts to have some pride.¡± ¡°we only have one goal, and that is to protect the four seasons universe!¡± ¡°since we can¡¯t enter earth, we¡¯ll hide further away. at the critical moment, we can still catch them off guard!¡± hearing this, everyone could only nod in agreement. ¡­. coiling dragon villa. lin fan continued to eat barbecued meat with hu tian, su ningjing, xia bing, xia xue, and the others. he was very relaxed and at ease. after eating his fill, lin fan returned to his bedroom and started cultivating. the reason why his cultivation had improved so quickly was partly because of the system and the dense spiritual energy. on the other hand, it was because he had worked hard enough. time flowed like water in cultivation. ¡°phew!¡± ¡°suck!¡± lin fan continued to use the ethereal breathing technique to gather a large amount of spirit qi. soon, his entire body was enveloped by spiritual energy. sword shadows gradually appeared in the spiritual energy. fist energy condensed, and metal, wood, water, fire, and earth floated in the air¡­it was extremely mystical. lin fan¡¯s cultivation state was increasing at a rapid rate. at the same time, he enjoyed it. ¡°phew!¡± lin fan circulated all of the skills once before letting out a long breath. a cool breeze immediately swept across the entire earth. the trees swayed and the clothes rustled. ¡°boom!¡± at this moment, a dull sound suddenly appeared on earth, and it began to shake slightly. at the same time, a series of notifications rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! level 1 king stage cultivator detected.] [ding! level 2 king stage cultivator detected.] [ding! level 3 king stage cultivator detected.] ¡­. [ding! level 2 martial monarch realm cultivator detected.] [ding! level 3 martial monarch realm cultivator detected.] [ding! level 4 martial monarch realm cultivator detected.] [ding! level 5 martial monarch realm cultivator detected.] when lin fan heard this, he opened his eyes wide, shooting out a dazzling light that was like the sun. then, he slowly raised his head and looked up into the sky with his pair of heavenly eyes. suddenly, a sci-fi spaceship that was comparable to a moving planet appeared in the void. the ocean universe army had arrived! Chapter 739 - 739 Nine-Headed Flood Dragon; Attack! 739 nine-headed flood dragon; attack! in reality, lin fan wasn¡¯t the only one who noticed this sci-fi looking spaceship. the four seasons universe first elder and the others who were hiding in the void were also observing the flying ship and discussing it from time to time. ¡°he¡¯s here!¡± ¡± what a terrifying aura. is the ocean universe master inside too?¡± ¡°i wonder which experts they brought over.¡± ¡°is there still that star lord lin on earth who can withstand it?¡± ¡°when do we make our move?¡± ¡­. from their conversation, it was not difficult to see their fear of the ocean universe. this was normal¡­ after all, the ocean universe was an extremely famous and powerful universe. in addition, over the years, the ocean universe had continuously eroded the four seasons universe, making them feel invincible and unstoppable. ¡°everyone, don¡¯t worry. we¡¯re a special force! only when the ocean universe and earth are evenly matched can we launch a surprise attack and defeat the ocean universe in one fell swoop.¡± ¡°if we can¡¯t do it, then we have to make other plans. after all, we are concerned with the entire four seasons universe!¡± ¡°now, let¡¯s just wait quietly.¡± hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, and their hearts calmed down a little. ¡­. at this moment, in the universe ship. the nine-headed flood dragon¡¯s nine pairs of eyes were staring intently at earth. in his field of vision, he only felt that the surface of the earth was covered by a thick spiritual energy that was as thick as a wall, and it condensed into countless roaring spiritual dragons. ¡°a small planet actually has such spiritual energy,¡± the nine-headed flood dragon said. was there a protective array on the surface? then destroy it first!¡± his eyes swept to the side and said,¡± fire the m1+ energy cannon.¡± ¡°yes!¡± the murloc not far away said respectfully.¡± immediately, a thick cannon barrel slowly appeared from below the spaceship. the muzzle of the cannon continued to gather energy, and then a dazzling energy wave flew out. ¡°boom!¡± the m1+ energy cannon that had always been successful bombarded the protective magic circle, but it did not cause a single ripple. it disappeared without a trace in an instant. ¡°oh?¡± the nine-headed flood dragon said in surprise,¡± this defensive array¡­interesting.¡± ¡± use the s1+ energy cannon.¡± ¡°yes, sir!¡± the murloc said respectfully again. ¡°tsk!¡± another thick cannon appeared. this time, it condensed into a ball of purple energy wave. this energy wave was like the light of hell as it poured down. ¡°boom!¡± however, the energy shield on earth¡¯s surface still showed no signs of being damaged. ¡°hmm?¡± the nine-headed flood dragon raised its eyebrows. all the high-ranking officers in the spaceship were shocked. one had to know that the s1+ energy cannon was a powerful weapon that could break through the defense of an overlord-tier powerhouse. with a single blast, even an emperor would have to retreat. but now, he could not break the protective array of a planet. ¡°continue!¡± the nine-headed flood dragon said in a deep voice.¡± ¡°boom!¡± another purple energy cannon shot out. ¡°continuous attacks! break it open!¡± ¡°yes, sir!¡± when he condensed the s1+ energy cannon again, a tall and handsome figure suddenly appeared in the void. he was lin fan. he saw¡­ lin fan raised his hand and pointed. a sharp sword energy shot out and instantly slashed at the s1 cannon. even if the s1+ energy cannon continued to attack for 100 years, it would definitely not be able to break through the earth¡¯s protective array. however, there would be noise on earth from time to time if they were attacked like this. lin fan hated noise. therefore, he stepped forward. ¡°little thief, how dare you destroy my turret! universe master! i¡¯m willing to go and behead him!¡± a man with a shark head said. ¡°correct!¡± the nine-headed flood dragon said. ¡°yes, sir!¡± the shark-headed man leaped out. in the next moment, he appeared in the void a few thousand meters away from lin fan. a scarlet energy spread rapidly from the shark-headed man¡¯s body, quickly dyeing the entire void blood red. the blood-red energy quickly gathered and vaguely formed countless ferocious blood sharks. these blood sharks roared in unison, causing the void to tremble. their might was tyrannical. then, like a sky full of sharp blood shark arrows, they shot towards lin fan with a powerful aura. it was as though he wanted to tear lin fan and the earth behind him into pieces. regarding this¡­ lin fan raised his hand and formed an energy sword. he suddenly swung his sword. ¡°whoosh!¡± instantly, tens of thousands of miles of space was covered by dense energy swords, and they all flew towards the blood sharks that filled the sky. ¡°tsk!¡± the long sword was successful in every way. it pierced through the blood sharks that filled the sky and instantly turned them into nothingness. then, like a torrential rain, they all smashed towards the shark-headed man. ¡°puchi!¡± the blood bloomed and dissipated in an instant, leaving no trace behind! the shark-headed man was dead! at the same time, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! killed a king stage level 8 cultivator. obtained 8 billion experience points.] even though he said so much, in the eyes of everyone in the universe ship, it was just a blink of an eye. in the blink of an eye, an expert at the eighth level of the king level had fallen! ¡± what?!¡± many people cried out in horror. they looked at lin fan cautiously. the strength that lin fan had displayed was simply too shocking. they had a guess in their hearts. perhaps, lin fan was the one who killed zach and the 10 golden battleships. if that was the case, then he had to be even more careful. the nine-headed flood dragon stared at lin fan and said,¡±¡±follow me to flatten 5901!¡± the nine-headed flood dragon could sense how powerful lin fan was. he understood that he had to do it personally. moreover, he had to end the battle quickly. otherwise, it was very likely to bring unnecessary losses to the ocean universe. ¡°yes!¡± everyone shouted in unison.¡± in the next moment, the nine-headed flood dragon and countless murlocs appeared in the void. the nine-headed flood dragon stared at lin fan coldly and said,¡±¡±you were the one who killed my heavenly king zach? do you still have 10 gold warships?¡± lin fan knew that the nine-headed flood dragon before him was the ocean universe master. however, he was not afraid. that was because, when he had used the eyes of heaven, lin fan had already found out a few of the nine headed flood dragon¡¯s weaknesses. although he couldn¡¯t kill them instantly like he did with the others. however, it would only take a little time. ¡°not bad.¡± lin fan said calmly. when lin fan killed the king level 8 expert, everyone had their own guesses. at this moment, after hearing lin fan admit it, everyone couldn¡¯t help but be shocked. ¡°good, very good!¡± the nine heads of the flood dragon did not expect lin fan to agree to it. the surrounding void continued to crack and collapse. when the emperor was angry, the world would collapse. the entire void and the entire universe seemed to be enveloped by nine huge flood dragon heads in an instant. it was ferocious and terrifying to the extreme. p.s. welcome to my final book, super red envelope immortals. Chapter 740 - 740 Emperor Slayer; Surrender! 740 emperor slayer; surrender! the army behind the nine-headed flood dragon also emitted a stern aura. the terrifying aura continued to gather and rushed towards lin fan. ¡°hualala!¡± lin fan¡¯s clothes and hair were blown left and right. his expression remained unchanged. ¡°roar!¡± in the next moment¡­ in the void, a flood dragon head was like the sun, shining with a blinding light as it charged towards lin fan. wherever it passed, the void was like a broken shadow, shattering. it was tyrannical and terrifying to the extreme. lin fan willed it and a red tassel spear appeared in his hand. this¡­ it was the supreme spear that he had obtained from the system, an overlord-tier weapon. he saw¡­ lin fan poked at the head of the flood dragon. ¡°god slayer!¡± in the void, a fiery red energy storm that spanned millions of miles immediately covered the sun-shaped flood dragon head, twisting and tearing it apart! ¡°boom!¡± a flood dragon¡¯s head cracked. ¡°humph!¡± nine-headed flood dragon, no! at this moment, the eight-headed flood dragon let out a muffled groan, and all of its faces were filled with ruthlessness. in the first exchange, he was actually at a disadvantage. moreover, he had suffered quite a bit. he was furious! ¡°roar!¡± in the air, the remaining eight giant flood dragon heads roared at the same time. they released different colors, such as gold, green, white, gray, and purple. they shot out different energies, such as gold, wood, water, ice, earth, and lightning. the energy continued to explode and expand, turning the entire void colorful. in the next moment, the eight flood dragon heads flew towards lin fan from all directions. at this moment, lin fan felt as though he was in a patch of darkness, alone and weak. however, there was no fear on his face. in fact, he was still very calm. he saw¡­ lin fan stretched out his right hand. ¡± universe in a palm!¡± starlight flashed, and the darkness instantly dissipated, revealing eight ferocious flood dragon heads flying toward him. suddenly, 30 transcendence golden bodies appeared behind lin fan. these transcendence golden bodies were like a small stream that flowed into the sea, entering lin fan¡¯s body. ¡°buzz!¡± instantly, lin fan¡¯s entire body expanded by tens of times and emitted a dazzling golden light. lin fan clenched his right hand and the true dragon sword appeared. ¡°sword nurturing technique!¡± ¡°four nine swords!¡± ¡°whoosh!¡± the mighty sword qi rushed 90,000 miles and instantly cut off the head of the flood dragon at the front. ¡°fifty swords!¡± another sword qi shot out and chopped off the flood dragon¡¯s head on the left. ¡°five swords!¡± ¡°sword 52!¡± one sword was stronger than the other, chopping the flood dragon¡¯s head like cutting vegetables! in fact, this was normal. every transcendence golden body contained the same energy as lin fan. thirty transcendence golden bodies merged into one. its power was unimaginable! the true dragon sword had long since become a treasured sword of the imperial level. sword 81 was a powerful monarch level cultivation technique. in addition, there was also the emperor-grade sword nurturing technique! after a few layers, it could be said to be infinitely powerful. ¡­. in the distant void. the first elder and the other members of the four seasons universe had been paying attention to the battle. when they saw that lin fan had killed a king level 8 expert, they all exclaimed in shock. ¡°just how strong is this lin fan?¡± ¡°that¡¯s an expert at level 8 of the king class!¡± ¡°could it be that he has already reached the emperor level?¡± ¡­. when lin fan chopped off one of the heads of the nine headed flood dragon, cheers erupted out. ¡°heavens! ocean universe master had been beheaded!¡± ¡°that¡¯s great. perhaps we really have a chance to defeat the ocean universe!¡± ¡°too strong!¡± ¡­. in contrast to the cheers of the crowd, the first elder only watched silently with an extremely cold gaze. when lin fan chopped off the heads of the nine flood dragons one after another, the first elder finally opened his mouth and said,¡±¡±now! let¡¯s attack together and defeat the ocean universe army!¡± ¡°yes, sir!¡± everyone shouted in unison. their voices were filled with excitement! because they saw hope. everyone leaped out like meteors streaking across the sky and arrived at the battlefield in an instant. at this moment, only two heads were left of the nine-headed flood dragon. it became even more ferocious and terrifying. the great elder said to lin fan,¡± star lord lin, we¡¯re here to help you!¡±¡± lin fan just glanced at him and didn¡¯t say anything. he raised the true dragon sword again and slashed at the head of the nine-headed flood dragon. at this moment, the first elder behind lin fan suddenly took out a long blade and slashed at lin fan¡¯s back. ¡°boom!¡± however, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared around lin fan and blocked it easily. lin fan was completely oblivious to this. he continued to swing his sword and chopped off another head of the nine-headed flood dragon. ¡°you finally made your move?¡±¡± ¡°you knew i was going to deal with you?¡± the long-faced man said with an ugly expression. lin fan smiled but didn¡¯t say anything. how could he not know? when he rejected the great elder from entering earth, he already had 3 stars of hatred towards lin fan. after lin fan had chopped off a few heads, the first elder¡¯s hatred towards lin fan had reached 6 stars. the upper echelons of the four seasons universe looked at the great elder in confusion. ¡°first elder, you are¡­¡± ¡°what happened?¡± ¡°great elder, why is this?¡± ¡­. the first elder¡¯s expression changed, but he did not answer. lin fan smiled,¡± you guys can¡¯t tell?¡± your great elder is in cahoots with the ocean universe!¡± he saw¡­ lin fan¡¯s eyes shone with a golden light. another 20 transcendence golden bodies appeared beside him and quickly fused into lin fan¡¯s body. ¡°sword five five!¡± with a swing of his sword, the sword qi that filled the sky surged down like a tsunami. the first elder¡¯s pupils constricted as he hurriedly dodged. however, this sword qi seemed to be endless. he could not dodge it even if he wanted to. the first elder was extremely shocked. he quickly formed a seal and formed a thick golden energy barrier in front of him. however, the golden energy cloak was like paper, unable to block the mighty sword qi at all. ¡°tsk!¡± the golden energy shield and the first elder cracked and shattered. the great elder was dead! at the same time, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! killed a level 4 martial monarch realm cultivator. obtained 40 billion experience points.] the surging energy kept surging. however, lin fan did not have any intentions of comprehending it. he turned around and looked at the nine-headed flood dragon with a pair of cold eyes. having eight heads chopped off consecutively, the nine flood dragons were already terrified of lin fan. now, seeing him kill the fourth level martial monarch realm first elder with one move, he was even more frightened. ¡°yes¡­ i¡¯m sorry, i surrender. i¡¯m willing to serve you as my master¡­ please don¡¯t kill me¡­¡± what responded to him was only a sharp sword qi. ¡°tsk!¡± Chapter 741 - 741 Breakthrough; Another Enemy! 741 breakthrough; another enemy! blood splattered everywhere, and his aura dissipated. surrender? sorry, no need! lin fan understood the logic of letting the tiger return to the mountain. he didn¡¯t want any trouble to follow. since they wanted to attack him and the earth, they had to be careful. then, death was the best ending! at the same time, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! killed a level 5 martial monarch realm cultivator. obtained 50 billion experience points.] energy surged into his body. following that, lin fan raised his head slowly and looked over at the dense and uncountable ocean universe army. this gaze was like the eyes of the grim reaper, cold and awe-inspiring. the warriors of the ocean universe couldn¡¯t help but shiver. then, there was a commotion. ¡± the universe master is dead!¡± ¡± lord universe master!¡± ¡°run!¡± ¡°run!¡± everyone was like a swarm of ants as they turned around and ran into the planet-like spaceship. however, all of this was just an illusion. he saw¡­ lin fan raised the true dragon sword slowly. ¡°ang!¡± in the void, a huge golden dragon that broke through the universe suddenly appeared. the golden dragon roared, and the space shattered. the sword descended. ¡°ang!¡± the giant golden dragon bared its fangs and brandished its claws. it swept out an endless and terrifying aura as it roared toward the sea world army and the spaceship. it was like a giant meat grinder. anyone who approached an ocean universe would be instantly vaporized. in the end, the giant dragon head opened its mouth and bit down on the spaceship. ¡°boom!¡± an earth-shattering explosion shook the entire universe. a terrifying energy wave spread out like a wave. the entire void was lit up. after a long time, the light slowly disappeared. at this moment, how could there still be an ocean universe army in the void? what spaceship? there was only a deathly silent black hole that was tens of thousands of miles wide. an aura that made one¡¯s scalp tingle spread in all directions. at the same time, a series of notifications rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! killed king stage level 1 cultivator. obtained 1 billion experience points.] [ding! killed king stage level 2 cultivator. obtained 2 billion experience points.] [ding! killed a king stage level 3 cultivator. obtained 3 billion experience points.] [ding! killed a king stage level 4 cultivator. obtained 4 billion experience points.] ¡­. a tsunami of energy surged into lin fan¡¯s body. he felt extremely comfortable, warm, and full of strength. not long after, lin fan¡¯s mind rang out with a notification. [ding! [congratulations, your cultivation has reached king level 9.]] with lin fan as the center, a vast aura spread out in all directions, forming a strong gale in the void. murder¡­ had he broken through? this feeling was not bad! lin fan¡¯s lips curled up. he looked around. this glance was very calm. however, the powerful beings who had come along with the grand elder to help lin fan deal with the ocean universe army were all trembling in fear. the power that lin fan had displayed was simply too powerful and terrifying. when they faced lin fan, they felt like ants. terrifying! this was a fear that came from the bottom of his heart. if lin fan wanted to attack them, they wouldn¡¯t be able to resist or escape. however, lin fan didn¡¯t have such thoughts. at this moment, a series of notifications kept ringing in his mind. [ding! qin xian has a favorable impression of you. favorability is 6 stars.] [ding! [you have gained a favorable impression of mckai. favorability is 5 stars.]] [ding! [liu zhengdong has a favorable impression of you. favorability is 5 stars.]] [ding! [mai wu has developed a favorable impression of you. favorability is 5 stars.]] ¡­. everyone had a good impression of lin fan. furthermore, they were here to help. therefore, lin fan did not make things difficult for them. stepping out, he disappeared from where he was. ¡°phew!¡± seeing this¡­ the four seasons universe experts all heaved a long sigh of relief. at this moment, they realized that their bodies were drenched in sweat. it was as if he had walked around hell. they looked at each other and muttered,¡±we¡­ survived?¡± ¡°alive.¡± ¡°this¡­¡± ¡°what exactly¡­¡± their language became a little lacking. when their gazes fell on the giant black hole in front of them again, their scalps went numb, and they could not help but swallow their saliva. then, like a frightened bird, he fled into the distant void. ¡­. at this moment, lin fan had already returned to the coiling dragon villa on earth. hu tian, su ningjing, xia bing, xia xue, and the others looked over with concern. obviously, they had also felt the attack on earth. lin fan smiled,¡± don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s fine.¡±¡± when everyone heard lin fan¡¯s voice, they heaved a sigh of relief and asked. ¡°lin fan, what happened outside just now?¡± lin fan said,¡± it¡¯s just some weak people who have designs on earth. however, i have already taught them a lesson. they won¡¯t come again.¡±¡± some weak people? the many marine universe armies, and even the marine universe masters, were considered weak? as for not coming back? of course not. after all, they had all turned into ashes. when the girls heard this, they secretly decided that they must cultivate well. in the future, he would be able to fend off troubles with lin fan. at this moment, lin fan¡¯s smile suddenly stopped. that was because another notification sounded in his mind. [ding! bo han has hatred towards you, hatred points: 5 stars.] 5 stars of aggro? lin fan frowned. [bo han: cultivation unknown. because you killed the ocean universe master and annihilated the ocean universe army, hatred has been generated against you. current hatred points: 5 stars.] lin fan frowned even harder. cultivation unknown? that was very likely to be a holy lord! this was really hitting the small one, and the old one came? he still had sacred lord tai ba to deal with, and now there was another sacred lord bo han? after killing so many enemies, lin fan¡¯s cultivation state had increased by another level. this gave lin fan the urge to relax for a while. at this moment, he directly threw this thought to the back of his mind. cultivation! he had to seize the time to cultivate! otherwise, if tai ba and bo han each called eight or ten saint sovereigns over and attacked earth for a few hundred years, wouldn¡¯t he be unable to defend? hence, after lin fan gave hu tian, xia bing, xia xue and the rest some instructions, he returned to his room and prepared to enter the state of cultivation. and before he started cultivating, lin fan tried to soothe his anxious mood by giving tai ba a set of curses. as for bo han, he had to wait. otherwise, lin fan was worried that the matter of him cursing someone would be known by others. Chapter 742 - 742 15 Years Have Passed; He’s at the Overlord Level! 742 15 years have passed; he¡¯s at the overlord level! news of what happened at coordinate 5901 quickly spread throughout the universe, and many people started a heated discussion. ¡± ocean universe master is dead!¡± ¡°that¡¯s impossible, right? isn¡¯t he an emperor level expert?¡± ¡°impossible? let me tell you, not only is the master of the ocean universe dead, but most of the great beings above king level and the main force of the ocean universe have all died!¡± ¡°oh my god!¡± ¡°this¡­ could it be that the holy master has made a move?¡± ¡°it¡¯s the mysterious master of 5901!¡± ¡­. dragon tiger sect. all the disciples were very busy setting up array formations and refining weapons. they were very focused. that was because they had learned from the universe news that the ocean universe master had personally led an army to attack the spring field. although they had already left the spring region not long ago and came to the autumn region. however, they felt that the peace in the autumn territory was only temporary. when the ocean universe completely occupied the spring region, the autumn region might be next. ¡°whoosh!¡± at this moment, a stream of light flew over from afar. a skinny man shouted,¡±¡± the ocean universe master is dead, and the ocean universe army has been destroyed. don¡¯t worry!¡± ¡± the ocean universe master is dead, and the ocean universe army has been destroyed. don¡¯t worry!¡± ¡± the ocean universe master is dead, and the ocean universe army has been destroyed. don¡¯t worry!¡± he kept shouting, clearly extremely excited. hearing this, everyone looked up. ¡± eldest senior brother?!¡± originally, they thought that someone was shouting for fun. however, when they saw the skinny man¡¯s face, they all cried out in surprise. one had to know that eldest senior brother had always been a serious person. now, he shouted like this¡­ could it be¡­ thinking of this possibility, many people¡¯s hearts began to beat wildly. at this moment, someone shouted into the communicator,¡±¡±look, look at the universe news!¡± ¡± ocean universe master is really dead!¡± ¡°it was star lord 5901 who killed him!¡± ¡°too strong!¡± ¡°that¡¯s great.¡± ¡°star lord 5901 is too powerful!¡± ¡°he is the guardian of our four seasons universe!¡± ¡­. qin qiuliang¡¯s eyes were fixed on the cosmic news. he said excitedly,¡±¡±star lord lin, as expected of you!¡± ¡­. at the watercloud altar. ma zheng was cultivating hard. ¡°whoosh!¡± at this moment, a puff of smoke flew in and condensed into a man in black tight-fitting clothes. he knelt on the ground respectfully and said,¡±¡±greetings, vice altar leader!¡± ¡°what¡¯s the matter?¡± ma zheng asked. ¡°important news regarding the ocean universe.¡±the man in the black tights said. ma zheng had already instructed him to report to him as soon as anything related to planet 5901 happened. that was because he knew that his master, lin fan, was the star master of 5901! ma zheng¡¯s expression changed slightly. he waved his hand and a scroll appeared in his hand. the man in the black tight-fitting suit turned into smoke and disappeared again. in the next moment¡­ ma zheng suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground. he said respectfully,¡±master is invincible!¡± after a long time, he slowly stood up. originally, ma zheng was still considering staying in the position of deputy altar master for a while, waiting for the time to be ripe before making his next move. now, he felt that¡­perhaps, he had to take another step forward as soon as possible. otherwise, he would be getting further and further away from lin fan. he would be completely useless. ¡°ah da, ah er, ah san!¡± ¡°whoosh!¡± three balls of colorful light appeared below. ¡­. fire god palace. li ke sat in the sanctum of sages, staring intently at his communicator. his eyes flashed with excitement. ¡°master is the strongest!¡± ¡°i can¡¯t embarrass master!¡± then, he closed his eyes and began to cultivate seriously. ¡­. lin fan had no idea what was happening in the outside world. in the blink of an eye, 15 years had passed. on this day¡­ ¡°phew!¡± a strong gust of wind spread rapidly from the coiling dragon villa in all directions and quickly swept across the entire earth. ¡°whoosh!¡± then, a golden pillar of light shot into the sky, as if it had covered the sky¡­ even the entire universe was penetrated in an instant. the golden pillar of light continued to twist and condense. gradually, it turned into a huge golden dragon that bared its fangs and brandished its claws, covering the entire universe. at this moment, countless living beings in the universe looked up at the golden dragon with great surprise and horror. ¡°phew!¡± another strong gust of wind spread rapidly from the coiling dragon villa. this time, it spread to the entire universe. it was at this moment that lin fan, who was in a state of cultivation, heard a crisp notification in his mind. [ding! his cultivation level has increased to the martial monarch realm.] [ding! [congratulations, you have completed the hidden mission and your cultivation has broken through to the martial monarch realm.] obtained transcendence golden body x10, saint crystal x5, great dao fragment x2, saint weapon gemstone x2, saint skill gemstone x2.] he felt the surging energy in his body and listened to the notification sound in his mind. the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. this was definitely a great harvest! after a while, he sighed again,¡± it took 15 years to break through. it¡¯s a little too slow.¡±¡± too slow? if other people knew about lin fan¡¯s words, who knew what kind of expression they would have. how many people have been unable to break through a level of cultivation for hundreds of thousands of years? how many people were unable to break through to the monarch level even after they died? 15 years, and you still think it¡¯s too slow? in order to express his dissatisfaction, lin fan cursed bo han who had 5 stars of hatred towards him. then, he used saint-tier gemstones on the true dragon sword and the nine mystical robe respectively, allowing his attack and defense to reach a new level. after that, he used a saint-tier cultivation technique gem on the universe in the palm and sword 81, and his combat strength soared. after doing this, he took the great dao fragments and saint crystals and jumped out. in the blink of an eye, lin fan arrived at the bottom of the path-understanding tree. at this moment, hu tian, su ningjing, xia bing, xia xue, and the others all stopped cultivating and focused their gazes on the villa where lin fan was. clearly, they were all attracted by the commotion caused by lin fan¡¯s breakthrough. ¡°lin fan!¡± ¡°hubby!¡± shouts rose and fell. lin fan smiled and said,¡± i¡¯ve made a breakthrough in my cultivation.¡±¡± when the girls heard this, they all smiled. the person they liked had broken through. they were even happier than them. after cultivating for 15 years, lin fan decided to relax with hu tian and the rest. hence, he decided to do it. today, a grand bonfire party was held in the coiling dragon villa. roasted meat, fine wine, fragrant fragrance, and laughter could be heard from time to time. after the party, hu tian, su ningjing, xia bing, and xia xue went to look for lin fan. a month of hard work, a month of happiness. lin fan returned to the villa and prepared to cultivate again. Chapter 743 - 743 Meeting Kathleen Again; Secret Realm! 743 meeting kathleen again; secret realm! before cultivating, lin fan did not forget to curse tai ba. after all, after breaking through, he had been cursing bo han, but he hadn¡¯t cursed him for being too overbearing and not favoring one over the other. following that, lin fan willed himself into the river of time. he was in metal, wood, water, fire, earth¡­ he continued to move forward on the great dao of the various elements. it had to be said that lin fan was really strong right now. he was like an illusion on the paths of the various elements, advancing at high speed. he walked for 500,000 meters without feeling too much pressure. on the main path of life, when lin fan reached 80,000 meters, his body suddenly stopped. because he saw a beauty with fair skin. it was kathleen. at this moment, kailin also noticed lin fan. her beautiful eyes were filled with unconcealable surprise. ¡°lin fan?¡± ¡°it¡¯s me.¡± lin fan smiled. ¡°this¡­ you actually walked all the way here?¡± kathleen was still in disbelief. the first time he saw lin fan was decades ago. a few decades was just a blink of an eye for a king level expert like kathleen. in the blink of an eye, lin fan had gone from a thousand meters to 80,000 meters? this¡­ this was simply like a dream. ¡± lin fan,¡± kathleen couldn¡¯t help but say,¡± did you only show off your weak power on purpose?¡±¡± it was no wonder that she had such thoughts. lin fan¡¯s improvement was simply too fast. lin fan smiled,¡± you guess?¡± ¡°you gave me two opportunities, so i¡¯ll return one to you now.¡± after saying that, he raised his hand and gently pointed at kathleen¡¯s glabella. ¡°whoosh!¡± a ray of golden light entered kathleen¡¯s body. suddenly, an extremely mysterious life cultivation technique surged into kathleen¡¯s mind. this¡­ this was the imperial skill that lin fan had obtained from the system, revival. after an unknown period of time, kathleen slowly opened her eyes. however, where was lin fan¡¯s figure on the great dao of life? she could only say in her heart, thank you.¡± at this moment, lin fan had already returned to the coiling dragon villa. [ding! [kathleen¡¯s favorability towards you has increased to 8 stars.]] seeing this, lin fan nodded his head and thought,¡± not only was this woman beautiful, but she also knew how to be grateful. not bad. then, he closed his eyes and entered his bitter cultivation. after advancing to emperor level, lin fan had obtained 2 great dao fragments and 5 saint crystals from the system. this had allowed the spirit qi on earth to reach a new peak. at the same time, it had also increased the comprehension of all living beings towards the great dao. this caused lin fan¡¯s cultivation state to grow even faster. ¡­. on the other hand. 33 heavens. tai ba, who was originally sitting cross-legged, suddenly emitted a faint black aura. ¡°humph!¡± tai ba grunted, his expression turning extremely ugly. ¡°the curse has become stronger!¡± ¡°damn it! who is the one cursing!¡± his pupils moved slightly, and figures appeared in his mind. then, his figure flashed and he disappeared from where he was. ¡­. time passed in cultivation. in the blink of an eye, 100 years had passed. in these 100 years, the four seasons cosmos had taken back the spring region and summer region, and it was developing in a good direction. as for the once prosperous ocean universe, it became extremely chaotic and was invaded and divided by a large number of people. in fact, it no longer had the name of the ocean universe. i have to say, it¡¯s fate. ¡­. at this moment, in front of an ancient stone wall. a large group of men and women with powerful auras gathered together, but they were wary of each other. if lin fan was here, two of them would definitely kneel down in excitement. because they were ma zheng and li ke. however, the two of them did not know each other, so they did not have the intention to greet each other. ¡°whoosh!¡± in the next moment, a seven-colored light suddenly appeared on the ancient stone wall. everyone¡¯s expression turned solemn as they rushed in. this was the ancient mystic realm! someone had once become a king or emperor in a day here. someone had once obtained a powerful weapon. someone had once obtained a heaven-defying cultivation technique¡­ this place¡­it contained countless monstrous opportunities. after everyone entered, the ancient stone wall returned to its original appearance. it was at this moment that lin fan, who was in the midst of his cultivation, heard a crisp notification in his mind. [ding! mission failed, entering the ancient mystic realm. obtained great dao fragment x1, saint king level cultivation technique upgrade gem x1, transcendence golden body x5.] lin fan opened his eyes slowly with a weird look on his face. mission? when did the mission appear? he didn¡¯t seem to know. the reward after failure seemed pretty good! he placed his attention on the saint king grade cultivation method upgrade gem. [saint king level cultivation technique upgrade gem: after use, it can upgrade a holy lord level cultivation technique to a saint king level cultivation technique.] seeing this, lin fan¡¯s eyes lit up. saint king grade cultivation technique! he didn¡¯t have any saint king level cultivation techniques. this was definitely a good treasure! above the saint lord-level cultivation technique was the saint king-level cultivation technique. in other words, saint kings were above the holy lord realm? lin fan¡¯s face revealed a thoughtful look. after a while, lin fan turned his attention back to the curse technique. in his opinion, curses were the most useful cultivation techniques. even if he stayed on earth, he could still kill his enemies without anyone knowing. [do you want to use the saint king level cultivation technique upgrade gem on the curse spell?] ¡°yes, sir!¡± [ding! upgrade successful. current curse skill: saint king level. the number of curses increased to 10 per day.] the number of curses had increased! finally, it wasn¡¯t once a day! seeing this¡­ lin fan smiled. if he was happy, he naturally had to celebrate! hence, he decided to do it. lin fan cursed tai ba x10. then, lin fan turned his attention to the system panel. [host: lin fan] [cultivation: level 4 emperor-tier] [skills: sword 81 (emperor-level), curse technique (saint king-level), sword nurturing technique (holy lord-level), universe sword technique (emperor-level)¡­] [equipment: star meteorite sword (overlord-tier), flame armor (sacred lord-tier), heavenly soul bead (overlord-tier), true dragon sword (sacred lord-tier)¡­] [laws: time (intermediate), space (advanced), metal (advanced), wood (advanced), water (advanced), fire (advanced), earth (advanced), life (advanced), death (advanced), yin (advanced), yang (advanced), wind (advanced)] [character relationship: lin tao, daddy, favorability: 10 stars; [dai weixue: mom, favorability rating of 10 stars.] lin xiaoyao, sister, favorability: 10 stars; xia xue: dao companion, favorability 10 stars; [xia bing: dao companion, favorability: 10 stars¡­] level 4 martial monarch realm cultivation! in a hundred years, he had broken through from the first level of the imperial level to the fourth level of the imperial level. this speed of advancement was truly shocking! however, lin fan wasn¡¯t too excited about this speed. he immediately turned his attention to kathleen. at this moment, kathleen¡¯s name kept flashing. this meant that she was in danger! Chapter 744 - 744 Tyrant; Bodhi Fruit! 744 tyrant; bodhi fruit! lin fan had a good impression of kathleen. she was beautiful and kind-hearted, just like a fairy. seeing that she was in danger, lin fan¡¯s gaze could not help but stop. in the blink of an eye, two days had passed. one day ago, kathleen¡¯s name finally stopped flashing. she had survived the crisis. however, lin fan still had to wait for another day before using his soul to communicate with her. ¡°kathleen.¡± kathleen was obviously stunned for a moment. after a while, she said,¡± you are¡­lin fan?¡± lin fan said,¡± it¡¯s me.¡± ¡°is this a voice transmission technique? are you near my temple of life?¡± there was an inexplicable fluctuation in kathleen¡¯s tone. it was surprise and joy! lin fan replied,¡± from a certain perspective, this is indeed a voice transmission technique. however, i¡¯m not near the temple of life. i¡¯m in the four seasons universe.¡±¡± four seasons universe? kathleen was shocked. she naturally knew about the four seasons universe, especially in the past hundred years. there was an endless stream of news about the four seasons universe. however, wasn¡¯t the four seasons universe three universes away from the temple of life? lin fan¡¯s voice transmission crossed three universes and penetrated through the array formation of the temple of life? this¡­ this¡­ then, she thought of lin fan¡¯s figure that was moving forward in the river of time. she thought of the powerful skill that lin fan had imparted to her, and the voice transmission that she had just received¡­ just what realm had lin fan¡¯s cultivation state reached? lin fan said,¡± you encountered danger earlier?¡±¡± after hearing this, kathleen finally came back to her senses. she sighed and said,¡±yes, i was injured by another saintess.¡±¡± it turned out that there were a total of 19 holy sons and saintesses in the temple of life. most holy sons and saintesses liked to put on a good show and wanted to become the shrine master of the life shrine. on the other hand, kathleen was an ordinary saintess who didn¡¯t have any thoughts about the temple master of the temple of life. because of this, many holy sons and holy maidens had a good relationship with her. however, 100 years ago, lin fan had taught kailin revival, which had allowed her cultivation and life force to soar by leaps and bounds. this had attracted the attention of the hall master and many of the grand elders. this change caused the holy sons and holy maidens who had a good relationship with her to distance themselves from her. they even began to be jealous of her, hate her, and suppress her. not long ago, in the secret realm of the temple of life, kathleen was besieged by several saints and saintesses, causing her to be seriously injured. after lin fan found out about this, he couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±¡±i didn¡¯t expect that teaching you a cultivation technique would actually bring you so much trouble.¡± ¡± no,¡± kathleen said,¡± it¡¯s not because of you. i trusted them too much in the past.¡± even if you don¡¯t teach me the cultivation technique, if there¡¯s a conflict of interest with them in the future, similar things will happen.¡± ¡°moreover, i can¡¯t thank you enough for imparting such a powerful cultivation technique to me.¡± at this point, kathleen stopped talking. ¡°are you the star lord of 5901?¡±¡± lin fan said,¡± if 5901 is earth, then it should be me.¡±¡± kathleen was just probing. after all, lin fan and star lord 5901 were both extremely powerful. furthermore, they happened to be in the four seasons cosmos. however, kathleen didn¡¯t expect it to really be him! kathleen¡¯s heartbeat quickened. right now, the person who was the most discussed in the entire universe was undoubtedly star lord 5901. some people said that he was the strongest expert below the sacred master. there were even people who said that he was the holy master. however, no matter what, his strength was publicly acknowledged. as for him¡­he was actually transmitting a message to him? he had actually guided him in his cultivation in the past? thinking of this, kathleen blushed. at this moment, lin fan said,¡± human hearts are hard to predict. if he didn¡¯t want to stay in the temple of life anymore, he could consider coming to earth.¡± after saying that, lin fan ended the soul communication. lin fan¡¯s figure appeared in her mind. if he couldn¡¯t stay any longer, he would go to earth? to lin fan¡¯s side? for some reason, kathleen¡¯s heart beat faster. ¡­. on the other side, outside the 33 heavens. tai ba, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly emitted a dense curse black gas. his expression suddenly changed, and he relied on his powerful strength to continuously block it. however, the power of the curse was too strong. gradually, tai ba¡¯s face started to twist. in the next moment, a trickle of blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth. ¡°do you really think that i¡¯m so easy to bully? bastard!¡± tai ba roared towards the sky, causing the thirty-three levels of heaven to continuously flip. then, tai ba leaped up and his figure covered the sky, turning the entire world into darkness. before long, tai ba appeared in the sky above the buddha realm. he saw¡­ he waved his hand and released a terrifying seven-colored light. ¡°hualala!¡± below him, the densely packed buddhas instantly vaporized and turned into a wisp of green smoke. ¡°enemy attack!¡± ¡°namo amitabha!¡± shouts rose and fell. however, this had no effect on tai ba. instead, it made him even crazier. it released an even more majestic seven-colored flowing light, turning even more buddhas, mountains, and towers into nothingness. ¡°whoosh!¡± however, it was also because of this that a giant buddha as tall as the sky appeared in the air. his eyes were like the sun as he stared at tai ba and said,¡±¡±tai ba, why did you kill my disciple and destroy my sect?¡± ¡°why?¡± tai ba asked sternly. bodhi fruit, you insidious baldy, you know what you¡¯ve done!¡± clearly, he thought that the bodhi fruit was cursing him. no wonder tai ba would think this way. the bodhi fruit was a karmic sage. however, karma and curses went hand in hand. among all the holy masters, the one with the strongest curse was undoubtedly the bodhi fruit. in addition, tai ba clearly remembered that bodhi guo had always hated the monster race. before becoming a holy lord, pu guo was even known as demon subduing buddha lord. later on, in a mystic realm, tai ba had even fought with him. even though it had been hundreds of thousands of years. however, tai ba still believed that the curse was caused by the bodhi fruit. as for why there was no curse in the past, it was definitely because the bodhi fruit wanted to numb him, or because he had not fully mastered the curse technique. bodhi guo¡¯s face sank slightly as he said,¡±tyrant, you¡¯ve gone too far.¡±¡± a vigorous energy materialized and spread in all directions. obviously, he was really angry. this was normal¡­ after all, everyone had a temper. moreover, pu guo was a high and mighty holy master. many of his disciples had just been killed, his mountain gate had been destroyed, and he himself had been humiliated in public. how could he not be angry? tai ba was in a state of madness and was not moved at all. ¡°too much?¡± he shouted fiercely. you haven¡¯t even experienced what¡¯s even worse!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and formed a claw, causing the space within a radius of 10,000 kilometers to instantly shatter like a shadow. the entire world became dense. then, he slapped the bodhi fruit. ¡°boom!¡± Chapter 745 - 745 Heavenly General; Lil Stone! 745 heavenly general; lil stone! on this day¡­ outside the 33 heavens, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked. the sun and moon lost their light as if the end of the world had arrived. it was terrifying beyond compare. later on, it attracted the attention of many holy lords. tai ba and pu guo were worried that others would benefit from it, so they were forced to stop fighting. all that was left was the broken 33 heavens and the howling of the strong winds. and this¡­it was just the beginning. following that, a great battle broke out between the buddha realm and the demon realm. blood flowed everywhere and it was extremely miserable. ¡­. lin fan had no idea about all of this at the moment. however, a clear voice sounded in his mind. [ding! [your enemy tai ba has been cursed by you and has a heart demon.]] when lin fan heard that, his eyes lit up,¡±¡±finally, a heart demon has appeared. holy master is truly tenacious.¡± after saying that, he slowly closed his eyes again. ¡­. on the other hand, in the dark universe. after more than a hundred years of cultivation and fighting, lin chengzhen and li hao had grown extremely tall. their bodies were covered with crisscrossing scars, making them look ferocious, terrifying, and powerful. as the two of them walked on the street, greetings kept ringing out around them. ¡°hello, general lin tian.¡± ¡°greetings, heavenly general li.¡± the dark universe was already extremely chaotic. in the recent hundred years, it had been affected by the news of the ocean universe, becoming even more chaotic. wars broke out almost every day. lin cheng zhen and li hao chose to join a force called dark court. they had fought for the dark court and had a great reputation in the dark court. they passed through many streets and returned to their own general duo residence. ¡°cheng zhen, how does it feel to be a heavenly general?¡± li hao asked.¡± ¡°it¡¯s alright,¡± lin chengzhen said. ¡°what do you mean by alright? that¡¯s great!¡± li hao said excitedly,¡± say, if we return to earth now, do you think we can be compared to those gods and devils in myths and legends?¡± he seemed to have already imagined the scene of earthlings prostrating, worshipping, and praising him. his face was filled with anticipation. ¡°tell me, how strong is my dad?¡± lin chengzhen asked.¡± li hao¡¯s face stiffened when he heard this. that¡¯s right. how strong? he did not know either! every once in a while, lin fan would use his soul to communicate with lin cheng zhen and impart his cultivation techniques to him. this was also the main reason why lin cheng zhen and li hao were able to advance their cultivation by leaps and bounds in just a hundred years and establish great achievements in the dark court. there were super strong beings like lin fan hiding on earth. how many more were there? if he returned to earth, could he really be compared to the existences in the myths and legends? ¡°whoosh!¡± at this moment, a black fog appeared below. gradually, it condensed into a short figure. he knelt on one knee and said,¡± greetings, heavenly general lin and heavenly general li. the sovereign lord has invited the two of you to the main hall. he has something to discuss.¡±¡± ¡°alright, we¡¯ll go over now.¡± lin chengzhen said. ¡­. twenty years passed in a flash. for the past 20 years, lin fan had been in a state of cultivation. the rewards of cultivating hard were also very good. his cultivation level had already reached level 5 of the imperial level. he was not too far away from level 6. and in these 20 years, lin fan had obtained 8 immortal crystals, 3 saint crystals, 3 emperor grade equipment and 1 holy lord grade treasure, provincial grade gem from the system¡­ all of this was increasing lin fan¡¯s strength. lin fan was quite satisfied with this. if he was satisfied, then he should celebrate. hence, lin fan chose to curse bo han 10 times. ¡°dong dong dong!¡± at this moment, there was a knock on the door. lin fan raised his head and realized that it was little rock. lin fan¡¯s feelings for little rock were relatively special. even though little rock wasn¡¯t born by himself, he was a life form that was born from the holy stone he obtained from the system and he called lin fan his master. however, lin fan had never treated him as a servant. he had treated him as his own child. however, this child seemed to be a little afraid of him and had never taken the initiative to look for him. today was a little special. ¡± come in,¡± lin fan said. as soon as he finished speaking, the door opened automatically. little rock slowly walked in with a perturbed heart. ¡°greetings, master.¡± little rock said nervously. lin fan nodded,¡± what is it?¡± ¡°ever since master used his great power to change the spiritual energy on earth, there have been more and more cultivators on earth. gradually, some talented ones have appeared. after learning of their master¡¯s fame, these people gathered outside the coiling dragon villa. it would be a waste to just let them wait. he wondered if his master had any thoughts of taking them in and teaching them.¡±little rock said carefully. lin fan looked at him as he tried his best to act like he was knowledgeable and polite. he couldn¡¯t help but want to laugh. however, in order to maintain the image of the master, he held it back. ¡°yes!¡± ¡°from today onwards, you can freely enter and leave the coiling dragon villa. you can choose those you think are talented to train, and you can bring no more than 20 of them to the coiling dragon villa.¡± ¡°thank you, master!¡± little rock said excitedly.¡± ¡± there are so many talented people around the mansion. i don¡¯t think i can handle them alone. can i bring zheng cong, song wenxuan, and riemann?¡±¡± he became even more cautious. clearly, he was worried that lin fan would reject him or even scold him. ¡°sure,¡± lin fan said. ¡°thank you, master. master has been invincible in the world for thousands of years!¡±little rock said excitedly. when lin fan heard this, his lips twitched. little rock slowly retreated. as soon as he left, he immediately straightened his back. zheng cong, song wenxuan, and riemann rushed over. ¡°big brother, what did master say?¡± ¡°did master agree?¡± ¡°big brother¡­¡± little rock felt very comfortable calling him big brother. he raised his head and said,¡±what do you think?¡±¡± the three of them opened their mouths, their eyes filled with anticipation. ¡°master has already agreed. we can go out and teach some talented people.¡±¡± ¡°really?¡± ¡°that¡¯s great!¡± ¡°haha!¡± the three of them shouted happily. all these years, they had been cultivating hard, and their cultivation had improved greatly. now, they were all star level warriors. they enjoyed the feeling of constantly increasing their strength. however, after a hundred years of bitter cultivation, they also felt a sense of dullness. they hoped to go out for a walk, but they never dared to ask. now that he finally had this opportunity, how could he not be happy? ¡°of course!¡± little rock said proudly.¡± then, he took the lead and walked out. zheng cong, song wenxuan, and riemann followed behind him. ¡­. when lin fan saw this scene, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud. ¡°i didn¡¯t realize that little rock had such a funny side.¡± ¡°wouldn¡¯t it be fun if the array formation around the coiling dragon villa is tightly sealed later?¡± Chapter 746 - 746 Chaos; Sorrow! 746 chaos; sorrow! even though he had such thoughts, lin fan didn¡¯t do it in the end. little rock, zheng cong, song wenxuan, and riemann walked out of the coiling dragon villa happily. when they saw the lively scene outside, their eyes lit up. they looked here and touched there. their faces were full of curiosity, as if they were granny liu entering the grand view garden. this was normal. zheng cong, song wenxuan, and riemann hadn¡¯t left the coiling dragon villa for hundreds of years. little rock had never left the house ever since he was born. they first spent a year on earth. then, they began to select geniuses and prepare to nurture them. initially, no one paid attention to the four of them. however, when they displayed their powerful strength, it immediately caused a sensation around the world. many people regarded them as immortals and worshipped them. the name of the coiling dragon villa once again resounded throughout the world. ¡­. on the other hand. after tai ba and pu guo fought, the buddha realm and the demon realm were completely severed. the flames of war quickly swept through dozens of universes. in just a few years, countless planets had turned into ashes. it was extremely terrifying. in the distant starry sky. the white-robed tao qian kept fiddling with his fingers as he muttered,¡±where did earth go? i can¡¯t calculate it at all. strange.¡± ¡°a good seedling who has mastered the power of time. this is definitely a rare good disciple.¡± tao qian was extremely annoyed. ¡°ang!¡± at this moment, a gust of demonic wind and a mysterious buddhist voice suddenly rose in the sky. it turned out to be a battle between a great buddha and a great demon. the sun and moon lost their color, and the space shattered. it was extremely terrifying. ¡°boom!¡± a beam of energy shot out, instantly blasting a planet not far away into pieces. it was like fireworks blooming, incomparably gorgeous. seeing this¡­ tao qian¡¯s pupils contracted slightly. he seemed to have thought of something and shouted angrily,¡±buddha realm, demon realm, you must have destroyed earth and killed my good disciple. you deserve to die!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, tao qian raised his hand and a long sword appeared in the air. he suddenly swung it. ¡°puchi!¡± sword energy whistled. the buddha and the great demon were neatly split in the middle. in the end, it was blown away by the wind like a bubble. even so, tao qian still couldn¡¯t vent his anger. he said angrily,¡±¡±they killed my good disciple. i can¡¯t let this go!¡± ¡°don¡¯t they want to fight? alright, then let them fight to their heart¡¯s content!¡± in the next moment¡­ with tao qian as the center, countless people of different heights, sizes, and appearances suddenly appeared. they leaped in all directions, turning into phantoms and disappearing without a trace. not long after¡­ many rumors began to spread in the cosmos. first, the heart of the saint monster king had appeared in the demon realm. after using it, one could become a saint king in one fell swoop. some people had even described the origin, appearance, and aura of the heart of a saint king to perfection. second, the saint buddha king¡¯s sarira had appeared in the buddha realm. it could possess all of the saint buddha king¡¯s dharmic powers as well as an all-round defense. once it recognized a master, the holy master would not be able to harm it at all. 3. after devouring demons, one¡¯s cultivation can increase by a large amount. their bones and skin can be used to make weapons. fourth, refining the buddha could prevent qi deviation, increase one¡¯s cultivation, increase one¡¯s lifespan, and speed up one¡¯s breakthrough¡­ ¡­. countless rumors swept through the universe like a storm. there were many different kinds of rumors. the same thing was that they all pointed to the demons and the buddha. in the beginning, no one believed these rumors. after all, there were too many rumors. however, he didn¡¯t believe it the first time, the second time, the third time¡­ when this rumor appeared in their ears countless times, many people began to waver. in addition, the demon realm and the buddha realm had been fighting non-stop recently. there were often heavily injured buddhas and demons appearing in front of them. some people started to think. when they found out that some of the rumors were true through experiments, they immediately became interested in the buddha and the demons. gradually, they started to secretly hunt the weaker demons and buddhas instead of the injured ones. in the end, many black markets even had missions to hunt demons and buddhas. for a moment¡­ the buddha and the demons became the targets of everyone¡¯s hunt. from star traveller level to star level, domain lord level, universe level, king level, emperor level¡­ after that, several sacred lords joined the battle. an unprecedented chaos unfolded. ¡­. the temple of life, which had always maintained a neutral stance, didn¡¯t stay out of this. on one hand, it was because the battle between the great demon and the great buddha had affected the temple of life. on the other hand, the temple master of the temple of life and even the sacred lord of life were interested in the treasures of the buddha realm and the demon realm. thus, the temple of life had the holy sons and holy maidens enter secret realms and planets to secretly rob and kill the buddhas and demons. on this day, kathleen, lisa, els, mike, the two holy maidens, and the two holy sons each brought 1000 disciples of the temple of life to a planet called red medicine. walking on the soft ground, kathleen couldn¡¯t help but glance at the slender figure in the east. it was lisa. she and kathleen used to be best sisters. they ate together, showered together, played together¡­they knew each other better than he did. however, everything changed after she received the powerful skill from lin fan. this was because lisa was naturally talented. her wish was to become the next temple master of the temple of life, and she had been working hard for it. however, on that day, after kathleen used the life combat technique, she became the brightest star of the temple of life, surpassing all the saints and saintesses. although kathleen had explained that this powerful cultivation technique was taught to her by an expert in the river of time, she was still able to use it. but lisa didn¡¯t believe it. she felt that kathleen had been hiding her true self so that she would let her guard down and step on her. what cultivation technique taught by an expert in the river of time? simply ridiculous! cultivation techniques were the most important thing for everyone. how could he give it to others so easily? moreover, it was such a powerful life cultivation technique. in this world, other than the temple of life, there was no other place. kathleen must have obtained a cultivation technique from a secret realm in the temple of life and secretly cultivated it for countless years. it was laughable that she still treated her as her best sister. the more lisa thought about it, the more she hated kathleen. the two of them gradually became strangers, and even their eyes were red with envy. kathleen looked at lisa¡¯s cold back and recalled many things about the two of them. in the end, it turned into a long sigh. ¡°rumble!¡± at this moment, the entire ground shook violently like an earthquake. everyone became alert. Chapter 747 - 747 Heartbroken Kathleen; Chance! 747 heartbroken kathleen; chance! in the next moment, countless demons appeared in a radius of hundreds of miles. they bared their fangs and brandished their claws, and their murderous aura surged into the sky, causing people¡¯s hearts to tremble. the saint and saintess of the temple of life shouted,¡±¡±not good, there¡¯s an ambush!¡± ambush! when the temple of life and the various factions hunted the demons and buddhas, the demons and buddhas wouldn¡¯t sit still and wait for death. they would launch a series of counterattacks. this time was an example. the demons bared their fangs and brandished their claws. they roared nonstop and tore at the disciples of the temple of life. the saint and saintess hurriedly led their disciples to resist. the people from the temple of life were powerful, but there were too many demons and they were extremely ferocious. gradually, the members of the temple of life began to show signs of decline. disciples were killed one after another. the light of life around kailin was like spring water that surged continuously. while killing the demons, she was also healing the disciples. all the disciples felt her power and gathered towards her one after another, showing signs of respecting her. when lisa, els, and mike saw this, their gazes became extremely cold. the three of them looked at each other as if they had made a decision. then, they quietly approached kathleen. in the next moment¡­ the three of them suddenly attacked together and slapped kathleen¡¯s body. ¡°boom!¡± ¡°boom!¡± ¡°boom!¡± after three strikes, kathleen felt as if her entire body was about to explode, and she spat out a large mouthful of blood. she looked dispirited and looked at lisa, els, and mike in disbelief. these three people were once her good friends. although their relationship had indeed changed drastically in recent years. however, kathleen never thought that the other party would attack her. moreover, he was so decisive and ruthless! his body and mind shattered! lisa, els, and mike did not think too much about it. they attacked again, ready to give kathleen a fatal blow. ¡°tsk!¡± at this moment, kathleen¡¯s body suddenly melted and disappeared in an instant, causing the three of them to hit nothing. the three of them said in horror,¡±shifting talisman!¡± ¡°why does she have this?¡± ¡°damn it!¡± it was definitely a serious crime to injure a fellow disciple. if word got out, the three of them would be severely punished. lisa, els, and mike did not immediately chase after him. instead, they coldly swept their eyes across the scene. ¡°kill them!¡± the three of them quickly attacked and killed everyone on the scene with lightning speed. the entire planet was dyed red. it was ferocious and terrifying. then, the three of them quickly spread the news that kathleen had betrayed the temple of life. he even took out a variety of ¡®evidence.¡¯ obviously, they had already made ample preparations. this sneak attack was premeditated! originally, kathleen wanted to return to the temple of life to recuperate. however, before he could enter the temple of life, he was surrounded. she had no choice but to run away in a sorry state. kathleen dragged her tired body and walked aimlessly in the vast universe alone. a sense of loneliness and helplessness surged into her heart like a tide. betrayed by a good friend, hunted down by the sect. the entire world turned dark. just as kathleen was in despair, a ray of light suddenly appeared in her world. the light gradually turned into a tall and handsome figure. it was lin fan. kailin could not help but think back to what lin fan had said about him in the four seasons universe. after a moment of hesitation, she left. ¡­. on the other hand. 33 heavens. bo han¡¯s face twisted as black smoke surrounded him. ¡°roar!¡± he faced the sky and roared, erupting with monstrous hostility. the entire world shook violently. in the recent years, the curse that bo han had suffered was getting stronger and stronger. helpless, he could only put down everything and resist with all his might. he could still hold on for a short period of time, but after a long time, he finally exploded. his entire person was extremely deranged as he shouted sternly,¡±bodhi fruit, you¡¯re really going too far!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up and flew into the endless sky. clearly, han bo had placed the curse on the bodhi fruit. this was something that couldn¡¯t be helped. everyone knew that the bodhi fruit was a karma sainthood! and the only one who could curse a sacred master was a sacred master! therefore, the demon realm and the sea realm formed an alliance and began to fight against the buddha realm together. an even greater chaos spread out rapidly. ¡­. on the other hand, in the ancient mystic realm. ¡°ta ta!¡± li ke walked forward carefully, one step at a time. these years of exploration made him understand that there were many opportunities and dangers in the ancient mystic realm. he had to be careful. a moment later, li ke¡¯s attention was drawn to a wide, charred cave not far away. he could not help but think to himself,¡¯what a dense fire attribute power¡­ could there be a fire-type treasure inside?¡± after hesitating for a moment, li ke decided to go in and take a look. perhaps there would be danger. however, there might also be powerful opportunities. the moment he stepped into the secret realm, li ke¡¯s blood boiled and his heart pounded. it had such an effect just outside! there was definitely an extraordinary opportunity inside! li ke couldn¡¯t help but quicken his pace. ¡°roar!¡± in the next moment, a fire qilin that was dozens of meters tall suddenly rushed toward li ke with a hot airwave. it opened its bloody mouth and bit at li ke. li ke¡¯s expression changed slightly. the flames around his body surged and instantly turned into a fire dragon. he entangled with the fire qilin. explosions kept coming, and the cave shook as if it would collapse at any time. ¡°puff!¡± after fighting for a long time, li ke finally killed the fire qilin at the cost of serious injuries. li ke hugged the fire qilin¡¯s neck and continued to absorb its golden blood. ¡°phew!¡± ¡°suck!¡± the pure fire-attribute energy surged through li ke¡¯s body like a tsunami, causing mysterious golden flame runes to appear on his body. this might be the opportunity in the cave! when li ke was about to leave, he suddenly found a fiery red bead in the depths of the cave. as long as he got close, the fire attribute energy would increase by a bit. treasure, this was definitely a rare treasure! this was probably the reason why the fire qilin was so powerful! li ke reached out and took the bead in his hand. ¡°boom!¡± suddenly, a monstrous flame soared into the sky with li ke as the center and condensed into a huge fire dragon. the entire sky was burned red by the fire dragon, as if doomsday had arrived. it was extremely terrifying. everyone in the ancient mystic realm raised their heads and looked in the direction of the fire dragon. shock was written on their faces as they discussed. ¡°what¡¯s that?¡± ¡°what a terrifying aura!¡± ¡°the great opportunity of the ancient mystic realm has been discovered!¡± ¡°although it is of the fire attribute, it is still worth a look!¡± ¡­. countless people gathered in the direction of the fire dragon, wanting to fight for the opportunity for the last time. however, their actions were clearly just false. because everything was already done. Chapter 748 - 748 Higher-ups; Harmony! 748 higher-ups; harmony! after obtaining the orb, li ke¡¯s strength had reached a peak. no one could resist him at all. after killing several people in a row, it produced an incomparably powerful deterrence, scaring everyone into retreating. in the next few years, li ke quietly absorbed the kylin¡¯s blood and studied the pearl. no one dared to disturb him. ¡°whoosh!¡± on this day, a huge door appeared in the sky of the ancient mystic realm. this¡­ it was the exit of the mystic realm. the trip to the ancient mystic realm ended here. li ke didn¡¯t hesitate and flew into the door. when the people of fire god palace found out that li ke had obtained it in the ancient mystic realm, they were all ecstatic. originally, li ke could only be considered average among the holy sons. now, he had directly become the number one holy son. he was even appointed as the acting palace master by many grand elders and elders. furthermore, he was unanimously recognized as the person with the greatest hope of restoring the glory of the fire god palace. the entire fire god palace was filled with joy. however, if they knew that their palace master was cursed to death by li ke¡¯s master, who knew what their expressions would be. ¡­. on the other hand. ma zheng also walked out of the ancient mystic realm. even though he did not receive a huge opportunity like li ke. however, his gains were not bad either. after returning to the raincloud altar, he went into seclusion to consolidate his strength. not long after, ma zheng was specially recruited into the water god palace and became an elder of the water god palace. at this point¡­ out of lin fan¡¯s two servants, one of them had become the fire god palace¡¯s acting palace master while the other had become an elder of the water god palace. both of them were in the upper echelons! ¡­. lin fan was completely oblivious to all of this. time flew by. in the blink of an eye, 20 years had passed. ¡°phew!¡± ¡°suck!¡± lin fan used his breathing technique to absorb large amounts of pure spirit qi into his body and condense them. almost every minute and every second, his aura was growing, and his strength was constantly increasing. that was why lin fan¡¯s cultivation state had increased by another level in the past 20 years. he was now at emperor level 6 and was only one step away from emperor level 7. at this moment, a clear and ethereal voice echoed throughout the entire earth. ¡°dao friend lin fan, can i come out and meet you?¡± every few hundred years, a name called lin fan would appear on earth. in the beginning, the people on earth were puzzled and puzzled. who was lin fan and where did the voice come from? now, when the people on earth heard this, their bodies became solemn, and their faces were filled with piety and respect. after 20 years of development, little rock, zheng cong, song wenxuan, and riemann had spread the name of coiling dragon villa and lin fan across the entire world. right now, almost everyone on earth treated the coiling dragon villa as a holy land, and lin fan as the master of the world. how could they not be pious when they suddenly heard someone calling the name of the master of the world? disrespectful? ¡­. coiling dragon villa. lin fan opened his eyes slowly and looked up into the void. soon, a fair-skinned woman with a graceful figure appeared in his field of vision. she¡­it was kathleen. when lin fan saw her, his black eyes sparkled. then, he took a step forward and disappeared from the spot. hu tian, su ningjing, xia bing, xia xue, and the others, who were also in the coiling dragon villa, stopped cultivating and started discussing. ¡°don¡¯t you guys think that this time, they don¡¯t seem to be enemies?¡±su ning said quietly. ¡°she has a nice voice, and she must be pretty too,¡± huang ling said.¡± ¡°maybe we¡¯ll have another sister soon.¡±hu tian said with a smile. ¡°that¡¯s great.¡± su ning said quietly. xia bing and xia xue nodded. ¡­. at this moment, in the void. kailin was like a fairy from a fairy tale. her body was filled with multicolored light, and she was extremely holy. her beautiful eyes seemed to be surrounded by stars as she looked at the huge black hole behind her. then, he looked at the sapphire-like planet in front of him-earth. ¡°it¡¯s so beautiful!¡± he praised sincerely. ¡°whoosh!¡± the next moment, the void rippled slightly. a tall and handsome figure appeared in front of them. it was lin fan. strictly speaking, this was the first time lin fan and kailin had met. when kailin¡¯s gaze landed on lin fan, her heart beat faster. an inexplicable emotion rose in his heart. she didn¡¯t know if it was because she was excited to see a strong person or for some other reason. lin fan smiled and said,¡±welcome, kailin!¡±¡± hearing this, kailin¡¯s jade-like face blushed. she said softly,¡±¡±thank you.¡± ¡°is this blue planet the legendary 5901?¡±kathleen asked. ¡°according to what the outside world says, that¡¯s true. however, i prefer to call it earth, the land of land.¡±lin fan said. ¡°earth? what a beautiful name.¡± kathleen said. ¡°i can guarantee that the scenery inside is even more beautiful than the name! do you want to go in and take a look?¡± lin fan said. ¡°that¡¯s great.¡± kathleen said with a smile. then, lin fan and kathleen turned into a stream of light and flew towards earth. if it were anyone else, they would have been blocked by dozens of invisible energy cloaks before reaching earth. however, when lin fan and kailin entered, these energy barriers melted like water ripples, allowing them to pass through. not long after, the blue sea, the dense forest, and the gorgeous flowers¡­they appeared in their sights one after another. kathleen couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath, feeling refreshed. originally, she felt extremely heartbroken because of lisa, els, and mike¡¯s ruthlessness. now, he felt like he was suddenly enlightened and very relaxed. lin fan brought kailin to play on earth for a month. their relationship grew rapidly and they started to interact at a negative distance. at the same time, kathleen fell in love with earth even more. on this day, kathleen carefully tidied up her clothes and makeup. because lin fan said that he would bring her to see his wife later. she knew what this meant. lin fan smiled,¡± don¡¯t worry, they are all good people.¡±¡± ¡°yes, yes.¡± kathleen nodded vigorously.¡± then, the two of them streaked across the sky like meteors and arrived at the coiling dragon villa in the blink of an eye. hu tian, su ningjing, xia bing, xia xue, and the others quickly gathered. ¡°you must be kathleen? it¡¯s so beautiful!¡± hu tian said. ¡°lin fan only said that you¡¯re pretty. in my opinion, you¡¯re not pretty at all. you¡¯re practically a fairy!¡±huang ling said. ¡°he¡¯s too immortal!¡± su ningjing added,¡± seeing kailin reminds me of the seven fairies from earth¡¯s myths!¡± ¡°kathleen, if anyone bullies you in the future, tell us. we¡¯ll definitely help you vent your anger!¡± ¡­. the girls surrounded kathleen and praised her. their faces were full of smiles, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. Chapter 749 - 749 The Aura of Life; Self-Defeating 749 the aura of life; self-defeating originally, kailin was worried about meeting hu tian, huang ling, xia bing, and xia xue. at this moment, his heart was completely at ease. relaxed and happy. this was even more heartwarming than his life in the temple of life. in the following time, lin fan, kailin, hu tian, su ningjing, xia bing, xia xue, and the others all lived together. the air seemed to be filled with happiness. in the blink of an eye, five years had passed. on this day, huang ling¡¯s stomach, which had not moved for a long time, suddenly bulged slightly. this change immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention. especially kathleen, who was the most curious. her gorgeous eyes flickered with a faint light as she muttered,¡±¡±is this life? how strange.¡± in order to experience this strange feeling, she came to lin fan¡¯s room every day for the next month. tirelessly. he worked very hard. however, sometimes hard work didn¡¯t mean results. no life appeared in her stomach. ¡­. on the other hand, the battle between the sea realm, the demon realm, and the buddha realm was getting more and more intense. planets were destroyed almost every day. the buddha realm was vast and powerful. however, the prolonged war with the sea realm and the demon realm was also unbearable for them. on this day, the buddha realm was finally forced to hold a top-level meeting to discuss countermeasures. buddhas with golden light all over their bodies gathered together and let out a buzzing sound like a mosquito. ¡°the sea realm and the demon realm are vile to our buddha realm. what should we do?¡± ¡°evil does not suppress good, it should be suppressed.¡± ¡°the sea realm and the demon realm are too powerful.¡± ¡°now, the operation of my buddha realm has already been greatly affected. we have to think of a way.¡± ¡°humph! they were just a bunch of evil demons, what was there to be afraid of?¡± at this moment, a buddha that was 10,000 feet tall said,¡±buddha, may i ask if there is a way to suppress sea saint and demon saint?¡± as soon as he said that, the entire scene immediately fell silent. this buddha was pu guo¡¯s senior brother and had an extremely high status in the buddha realm. only he could ask such a question. apparently, the news of bo han and tyrant being cursed by the bodhi fruit had already spread. the buddhas also agreed with this. after all, only sacred lords could curse sacred lords. the bodhi fruit was a karmic saint and possessed the strongest curse power in the world. if it wasn¡¯t him, who else could it be? bodhi guo understood what the buddhas were thinking. he sighed inwardly and said,¡±i never cursed tai ba and bo han.¡± there was a moment of silence. the bodhi fruit also sank into deep thought. if he wasn¡¯t the one who became a saint through karma, he would have doubted himself. but if it wasn¡¯t him, then who was it? the bodhi fruit inexplicably felt as if there was an invisible hand that enveloped him within. it was incomparably terrifying. at the thought of this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. after a while, bodhi guo said,¡± now, let¡¯s first discuss how to deal with the sea realm and the demon realm, as well as how the outside world knows about the holy buddha king¡¯s sarira.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he used a pair of eyes that were as dazzling as the sun to scan the scene. the holy buddha king¡¯s relic was a secret of the buddha realm. only a few higher-ups knew the inside story. now, it was spreading like wildfire. pu guo obviously suspected that there was a mole in the buddha realm. if there really was a mole, it was definitely someone present. unfortunately, the bodhi fruit looked at it for a long time and could not see any clues. ¡°the holy buddha king¡¯s sarira is a secret of the buddha realm. it indeed needs to be investigated thoroughly. ¡°in addition, as far as i know, because of the relic, there are already several holy lords who have designs on our buddha realm. we have to be wary.¡± as soon as he said this, the atmosphere at the scene became somewhat solemn. several saint sovereigns. this was definitely a terrifying matter. ¡°i¡¯m already aware of this matter.¡± however, they only had this idea because the holy buddha king¡¯s relic possessed all the magic power and powerful defense he had before.¡± ¡°if they knew that the holy buddha king sarira no longer has any energy or defense, there wouldn¡¯t be any problems.¡± two days later, the true effect of the holy buddha king¡¯s relic was announced. according to pu guo, as long as the holy master knew about it, there would be no problem. however, pu guo did not know that this had caused some of the holy masters who did not believe that the buddha realm had the buddha saint king¡¯s sarira to pay even more attention to the buddha realm. the demon realm also had the same concern as the buddha realm. since the buddha realm really had the mysterious buddha saint king¡¯s sarira, did the demon realm really have the heart of the saint demon king? after consuming the heart of the demon saint king, one could become a saint king in one fell swoop. this was obviously more tempting. because of the matter regarding the heart of the demon sage king, the demon realm had no choice but to hold a high-level meeting. although tai ba was cursed, he could only forcefully suppress himself and come to the scene. at this moment, the entire venue was clamoring. ¡°the buddha realm is too arrogant!¡± ¡°hmph, a bunch of bald donkeys. all of you bit your heads to pieces!¡± ¡°that¡¯s right!¡± ¡­. tai ba was already a little crazy and frustrated because of the curse. at this moment, hearing such a commotion, he could not help but shout,¡±i didn¡¯t call you here to make a scene!¡± ¡°buzz!¡± a terrifying aura pressed down like a mountain. all the demons found it difficult to breathe. the entire scene stopped abruptly. ¡°i¡¯m here to ask who leaked the news of the demon saint king¡¯s heart!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he glanced around coldly. tai ba¡¯s aura was already extremely terrifying. coupled with this blade-like gaze, finally¡­a slightly weaker demon fell to the ground. however, this made tai ba, who was in a state of madness, feel that the other party was guilty. he directly stretched out his hand into a claw and tore the demon into pieces. blood mist filled the air. when the demons saw this, they were as silent as cicadas in winter. ¡°da da!¡± tyrant¡¯s sharp claws kept jumping on the chair, making a dull sound. after a moment, tai ba said,¡± announce that the demon saint king¡¯s heart has no energy, and it¡¯s impossible for it to have the effect of breaking through to the saint king realm!¡± his voice reverberated throughout the entire venue. the words about tai ba quickly spread throughout countless universes. tai ba originally wanted everyone to give up on their pursuit of the demon sage king¡¯s heart. however, he didn¡¯t expect that this would arouse the desire of all living beings. that was because everyone only heard one sentence. the demons really had the heart of the demon sage king! perhaps, after eating it, he could become an invincible saint king! even if he couldn¡¯t become a saint king, becoming a saint lord wouldn¡¯t be a problem. ¡­. therefore, after the buddhist realm and the demon realm announced their plans, more and more living beings joined the battle. even some sacred lords who were originally ignorant of the world began to take action. countless undercurrents surged in the universe. gradually, the entire world seemed to fall into unprecedented chaos. slaughter and bloodshed erupted. Chapter 750 - Chapter 750 Coincidence; Becoming a Father Again! chapter 750 coincidence; becoming a father again! on an ordinary planet. tao qian, who was wearing a long robe, was drinking fine wine and humming a tune. he was extremely relaxed. at this moment, a stream of light entered his body. in the next moment¡­ he was stunned. this was because this stream of light was the information gathered by his many clones. from the information, he learned about the battle situation in the buddha realm and the demon realm, as well as the announcement of the buddha saint king¡¯s sarira and the demon saint king¡¯s heart. one had to know that the buddha saint king¡¯s relic and the demon saint king¡¯s heart were just information that tao qian had randomly fabricated. in the end, it was actually true? could it be that the relic and the heart of the demon saint king really had such miraculous effects? tao qian rubbed his chin. then, he shook his head repeatedly. what was he thinking? this was just something he made up. in this world, how could there be any equipment that could withstand all defenses? how could there be anything that could make a person become a saint king in one step? then, tao qian silently drank the fine wine with an intoxicated expression. even tao qian, the initiator of this, was almost interested in the buddha saint king¡¯s relic and the demon saint king¡¯s heart. there was no need to talk about those holy masters who were kept in the dark. almost all the sacred lords placed their attention on the buddha realm and the demon realm. it was no wonder that this was the case. the temptation of these two things was too great. ¡­. on the other hand. fire god palace. all the members were gathered here. their expressions were solemn and excited. because today, they officially had a new palace master, li ke! even though li ke did not have extremely powerful strength. however, his talent, his progress, and his ability were obvious to everyone. everyone believed that li ke could lead the fire god palace to become one of the most powerful forces in the world! ¡°whoosh!¡± at this moment, a fiery red light flashed past the hall and landed steadily on the main seat at the top. it gradually condensed into a robust figure. he was li ke! everyone from the fire god palace knelt on the ground and called out respectfully,¡±¡±greetings, palace master!¡± li ke looked around and felt that there were all black heads. he said,¡±stand up!¡± ¡°thank you, palace master!¡± all the disciples said in unison. an old man with slightly white hair took a step forward and said,¡±¡±palace master, now that the buddha realm, the demon realm, the ocean realm, and other great worlds are fighting, in addition to the legends of the buddha saint king¡¯s sarira and the demon saint king¡¯s heart, how should our fire god palace deal with them?¡± li ke naturally knew about these things. he wasn¡¯t too interested in war. however, the buddha saint king¡¯s relic and the demon saint king¡¯s heart made him think of something. however, he didn¡¯t want to get them himself. he wanted to give them to lin fan. that was because in li ke¡¯s heart, lin fan had the highest status. his cultivation was unfathomable and at the same time, he had given him a new lease of life. although li ke now had considerable power and strength. but in his eyes, he was still far from lin fan. all these years, li ke had always wanted to repay lin fan. unfortunately, there was nothing suitable. the buddha saint king¡¯s relic and the demon saint king¡¯s heart were not bad. therefore, li ke said,¡± the battle between the demon realm, the ocean realm, and the buddha realm is extremely dangerous, but sometimes, danger is also an opportunity! once we seize this opportunity, it¡¯s not impossible for our fire god palace to regain its glory and even surpass the past!¡± his voice was loud and infectious, causing everyone¡¯s emotions to surge. it was as if he could already see the scene of the fire god palace obtaining a great opportunity and standing at the top of the world. ¡­. water god palace. many of the elders who were originally leisurely received the palace master¡¯s mission to lead a team out to pay attention to the movements of the demon realm and the buddha realm. a round-faced elder named rika sighed.¡±¡±i don¡¯t know when it will end.¡± during this period of time, he had been running around every day. not only that, but he also frequently encountered attacks from the demons and the great buddha. he was almost injured several times. he didn¡¯t like this kind of life where he was on tenterhooks. ¡°there will be a day when it ends,¡± ma zheng said with a smile.¡± ¡°there will always be, but i don¡¯t know if i can see it,¡± lika said helplessly.¡± after a pause, he continued,¡± others would rather not lead the team. elder ma, you¡¯re a newly promoted elder. you can reject it. why are you here?¡±¡± ma zheng smiled.¡± because i don¡¯t think this is a bad thing. in times of peace, we might not be able to contribute much even after thousands of years. now, we¡¯re gaining something almost every day.¡± these words could barely be considered ma zheng¡¯s sincere words. this was because he had joined raincloud sanctum in the beginning, then became an altar master, and now he was an elder. he had gained his position step by step through battles. however, there was one thing that ma zheng did not mention. the reason why he wanted to join in and pay attention to the movements of the demon realm and the buddha realm was because he wanted to know the location of the buddha saint king¡¯s sarira and the heart of the demon saint king. the best way was to obtain them and hand them over to his master, lin fan! ma zheng and li ke¡¯s thoughts actually coincided. ¡°elder ma, you¡¯re the one who¡¯s open-minded.¡±lika shook his head. ¡­. lin fan had no idea what was happening in the outside world. at this moment, he was cultivating in seclusion in the coiling dragon villa. ¡°phew!¡± ¡°suck!¡± he quickly circulated the ethereal breathing technique and continuously increased his cultivation. 50 years passed in a flash. in these 50 years, lin fan had obtained 35 transcendence golden bodies, 10 imperial weapons, 20 king weapons, 5 saint weapon upgrade gems, and 5 saint skill upgrade gems from the system. his strength had increased in all aspects. for the past 50 years, lin fan had spent most of his time cultivating. he was extremely hardworking. his strength had also increased greatly because of this hard work, reaching the eighth level of the imperial level. lin fan¡¯s initial plan was to enter the holy lord state within a thousand years. now, in less than 200 years, he had already reached level eight of the imperial level. this speed was really shocking, even exceeding his expectations. this made lin fan even more confident in protecting earth and his family. ¡°dong dong dong!¡± on this day, there was a sudden knock on the door of the coiling dragon villa. lin fan slowly opened his eyes. a dazzling golden light flashed like the sun. he saw¡­ outside the door, hu tian, su ningjing, xia bing, xia xue, kailin, and the others were all extremely anxious. thus, he took a step forward and appeared in front of them. without waiting for lin fan to speak, kailin said,¡±¡±the yellow spirit is about to give birth.¡± kathleen had always been curious and envious about having children. now that someone was finally going to give birth, she was more excited than anyone else. when lin fan heard that, his spirit spread out quickly and locked onto huang ling who was in a villa not far away. as expected, her stomach turned into a ball, and a life form full of vitality was about to appear. he¡­ he was going to be a father again! Chapter 751 - Chapter 751 Lin Changle; Brother Lin! chapter 751 lin changle; brother lin! ¡°phew!¡± at this moment, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, instantly turning the entire earth into darkness. ¡°rumble!¡± the terrifying lightning produced a deafening sound and seemed to tear the entire sky into countless ravines. it was ferocious and terrifying. the wind blew, and the branches swayed. ¡°boom!¡± in the next moment, the entire world was filled with even more powerful thunderbolts, causing the earth to tremble. dazzling lightning illuminated the earth and quickly gathered in the air. gradually, it formed a five-clawed golden dragon that bared its fangs and brandished its claws, soaring into the sky. ¡°ang!¡± at this moment, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! dragon king¡¯s soul detected.] [dragon king¡¯s soul: the soul of the ancient dragon king, reincarnated.] lin fan squinted his eyes and said to the system,¡±¡±after he reincarnates, how will it affect my son?¡± [requires 1 million spirit stones. do you wish to inquire?] ¡°yes, sir!¡± [your son will have extremely high cultivation talent.] ¡°will he affect my son¡¯s memory and control him?¡± [no.] when lin fan heard that, he heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°ang!¡± at this moment, the golden dragon in the sky roared at the sky, and the entire world shook again. then, it rushed down toward the coiling dragon villa and entered huang ling¡¯s body. not long after, the sound of a baby crying could be heard in the coiling dragon villa. then, dai weixue walked out with a baby in her arms and a smile on her face. ¡°xiaofan, look at this nose. it looks so much like yours.¡± ¡°this skin is too tender.¡± ¡°hehe, he¡¯s still laughing when you praise him.¡± although dai weixue had already hugged two grandchildren. however, she was also very happy to have another one. ¡°mom, give me a hug, give me a hug,¡± lin xiaoyao said.¡± ¡°why are you in such a hurry?¡± dai weixue asked.¡± ¡°if you¡¯re really in a hurry, you should give birth to one quickly.¡± lin xiaoyao was speechless. in the past, she also yearned for love, marriage, and children. however, when there was a handsome man like lin fan beside her, she was shocked. she suddenly lost interest in other boys. how could they get married and have children? beside him, kathleen, whose beautiful eyes seemed to be shining with starlight, couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±can i hug you?¡± ¡°of course,¡± dai weixue smiled.¡± as he spoke, he handed the baby to kathleen. at the same time, he did not forget to say,¡±look, how cute is this baby? you¡¯re so beautiful. you¡¯ll definitely have a cute child in the future.¡± dai weixue was looking at the bowl and thinking about the pot. kathleen carefully held the baby, and her beautiful face bloomed like a flower. after a long time, she reluctantly gave the baby to lin fan. ¡°lele, smile.¡± lele was obviously the child¡¯s name. his full name is lin changle. this was a name that lin fan had come up with long ago. his idea was simple. as long as the child was happy, it was fine. with lin changle in the coiling dragon villa, everyone was filled with joy. if he was happy, he naturally had to celebrate. hence, lin fan gave tai ba a curse set that day. that night, kailin came to lin fan¡¯s room again. ¡°i want to have children too.¡± he worked hard and did not speak for a night. ¡­. on the other hand, in the demon realm. the black power of the curse around tai ba¡¯s body suddenly surged, and he could not help but spit out a large mouthful of blood. ¡°puff!¡± due to the intense war between the demon realm and the buddha realm in recent years, as well as the fact that more and more factions and experts coveted the heart of the demon saint king, the demon realm suffered heavy casualties and the situation worsened day by day. sometimes, tai ba wondered if he should continue fighting. however, as the curse fell, he became extremely deranged again. ¡°pu guo, didn¡¯t you want to fight?¡± he shouted ferociously. then let¡¯s fight to our heart¡¯s content!¡± then, tai ba¡¯s voice spread for a million miles,¡±¡±from today onwards, i will kill buddha without mercy!¡± a blood-red murderous aura surged wildly, causing the eyes of countless demons to turn red as they bit at the bald man in the distance. an even more tragic war began! ¡­. in the dark universe. li hao had always dressed casually, but today, he had changed into a set of very clean and tidy clothes. because he had already gotten married yesterday. he had married a beauty from another world. he drank a big bowl of wine and said cheerfully,¡±so comfortable!¡± then, he said to lin chengzhen,¡±¡±cheng zhen, we¡¯ve been in the dark universe for hundreds of years, right? i say, why don¡¯t you find a woman? could it be that he wanted to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?¡± lin chengzhen took a sip of wine and did not answer. ¡°brother, you¡­¡± li hao said again. don¡¯t tell me you like men?¡± as she spoke, she couldn¡¯t help but put some distance between them. ¡°go to hell, you¡¯re the one who likes men,¡± lin chengzhen said.¡± ¡°i just want to find a suitable one.¡±¡± ¡°alright, drink it yourself. i¡¯ll walk around.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and disappeared from where he was. after a long time, lin cheng appeared on a busy street. he went to a random restaurant and ordered two side dishes and a pot of wine. he drank alone and looked at the crowd outside the window with indifference. at this moment, a beautiful woman in a long blue dress walked over from afar. everywhere he passed, he would look at him and exclaim. in the next moment, two men hidden in the crowd seemed to have a grudge against the beauty as they attacked her with sharp blades. this slash was meant to split the beauty in half, causing blood to splatter on the spot. ¡°whoosh!¡± however, this did not happen. because a tall man was blocking the way. he¡­ it was lin cheng zhen. with a sweep of his leg, he sent the two men flying, heavily injured and vomiting blood. the reason why lin chengzhen attacked was partly because the woman was beautiful. on the other hand, he couldn¡¯t stand such behavior. ¡°are you alright?¡± lin chengzhen turned around and asked.¡± the current lin cheng zhen was already somewhat similar to lin fan. even so, he was still very handsome. the beauty was stunned. ¡°i¡¯m fine,¡± she said after a while.¡± ¡°thank you for saving me just now. otherwise, i don¡¯t know what would have happened.¡±¡± how was it? in fact, she had already noticed the two of them. moreover, he did not take it to heart at all. that was because she had pretty good strength to begin with. moreover, she had extremely powerful protective equipment and escape talismans on her. there was no need to worry at all. ¡°my name is ke xin. what¡¯s your name, benefactor?¡±¡± ¡°my name is lin chengzhen. you don¡¯t have to call me benefactor. it¡¯s just a small matter.¡±lin chengzhen said. ¡°how can that do?¡± kexin asked. ¡°however, benefactor is indeed not very nice to hear. if you don¡¯t mind, i¡¯ll call you brother lin. is that okay?¡±¡± Chapter 752 - Chapter 752 Not Worthy; Comprehension! chapter 752 not worthy; comprehension! in the following period of time, ke xin followed lin chengzhen with the excuse of repaying his kindness. gradually, their feelings for each other continued to heat up. they began to hold hands and hug each other¡­they became true lovers. they did all the things that lovers should do together. 24 hours a day, they were almost never apart, and they were extremely happy. lin chengzhen finally felt the sweetness of love. ¡­. at this moment, in the dark universe, in the majestic building known as the central palace. a man wearing a python robe and emitting a powerful aura let out a rumbling sound. ¡°have you found princess kexin?¡± below, a man in a red and black robe knelt on the ground and said respectfully,¡±venerable sovereign, the princess is in the three eastern regions.¡± ¡°also, we found out that the princess seems to have feelings for a man.¡±¡± ¡°hmm?¡± the man in the python robe¡¯s tone suddenly sank. a terrifying aura surged out like a tide, making people feel suffocated. ¡°who is he? give me the detailed information.¡± ¡°yes,¡± the red-robed man said nervously.¡± then, a streak of red light flew toward the man. the next moment, the man in the python robe shouted,¡±a domain lord level brat actually dares to covet my daughter, really¡­how dare he not take a look at his identity! is he worthy?¡± ¡°go, bring princess ke xin back!¡± ¡°yes, sir!¡± the red-robed man hurriedly said. ¡­. at this moment, lin chengzhen and ke xin were strolling along a bustling street, holding hands. lin chengzhen maintained his smile. this period of time was the happiest and most blissful time since he left earth. ke xin¡¯s face had a hint of worry. because, not long ago, she accidentally discovered her father¡¯s subordinate. this made her feel uneasy. ke xin knew her father very well. he was a domineering, high-status man who valued family status. he would never allow himself to be with lin chengzhen. lin chengzhen seemed to have sensed the change in kexin and could not help but ask,¡±¡±kexin, what¡¯s wrong? are you feeling unwell?¡± ¡°cheng zhen, i want to tell you something.¡± ¡°tell me.¡± lin chengzhen said. ¡°whoosh!¡± at this moment¡­ the originally clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds. strong winds howled and thunder roared. in the next moment¡­ the sky above his head seemed to have been torn apart by a huge thunder, and a long ravine appeared. and inside the ravine¡­a man in golden armor walked out. with a wave of his hand, a terrifying energy that was like a tidal wave instantly turned all the people on the street into ashes. this was a terrifying power that attacked indiscriminately. fortunately, kexin blocked in front of lin chengzhen in time, so he was not attacked. lin chengzhen felt a suffocating aura from the man in golden armor. however, he was not afraid. instead, he puffed out his chest and vaguely protected ke xin behind him. he said warily,¡±who are you?¡± ¡°me?¡± the golden-armored man seemed to have heard the best joke in the world. he grinned and said,¡± a mere ant is worthy of asking my name?!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind seemed to be about to blow lin chengzhen away at any moment. when the golden-armored man was about to make another move, ke xin, who was beside him, said,¡± enough!¡± ¡°brother ji wei, don¡¯t continue!¡± the golden-armored man¡¯s aura suddenly turned cold as he said,¡±¡±since kexin has spoken, then forget it.¡± ¡°kexin, the venerable sovereign wants you to go back. let¡¯s not make him wait for too long, right?¡± ¡°otherwise, the venerable sovereign might get angry.¡± ke xin didn¡¯t answer immediately. he turned to lin chengzhen and said,¡±¡±chengzhen, i¡¯m sorry. i have to go home.¡± ¡°i¡¯ll go back with you,¡± lin chengzhen said.¡± ke xin shook his head.¡± not yet. don¡¯t come looking for me. wait for me to come to you.¡± trust me, it won¡¯t take long.¡± then, she said to the man in golden armor,¡±¡±brother ji wei, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°alright.¡± the golden-armored man replied. the two of them walked towards the crack in the sky. lin chengzhen hurriedly chased after him and said,¡±karma!¡±¡± ¡°brat, how can you covet heart-crushing princess? get lost!¡± ¡± die!¡± the golden-armored man roared and formed countless blades that shot toward lin chengzhen. he was sent flying and spat out a mouthful of blood. ¡°ji wei!¡± ke xin shouted. ¡°sister wang, i¡¯m doing this for your own good,¡± said the golden-armored man.¡± this was the last sound. the sky gradually returned to normal. only lin chengzhen was left on the spot, extremely dispirited. he kept muttering,¡±karma¡­it¡¯s heartbreaking¡­¡± ¡­. earth. coiling dragon villa. lin fan didn¡¯t know about his eldest son, lin chengzhen. he played with his youngest son and grew up together¡­ then, he began to cultivate bitterly. time passed in cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed. 70 years ago, lin fan¡¯s cultivation state had already reached emperor level 9. in the next 50 years, the energy in his body kept growing and condensing. however, there were no signs of a breakthrough. however, 20 years ago, his energy and condensing speed had both dropped to a low point. it was as if he had reached a bottleneck and was unable to make any progress. lin fan decided not to increase his energy and turned to study cultivation techniques. over the years, he had already mastered all the cultivation techniques and could easily circulate them to the extreme, greatly increasing his strength. then, lin fan set his sights on the great dao. thus, he entered the river of time and continued walking, comprehending the great dao. gradually, other than the path of time, the paths of space, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, sword, saber, spear, and so on were all one million meters away. on the long road, lin fan was the only one walking alone. dao had finally reached its limit. however, he still did not feel like he was about to break through. on this day, lin fan walked in the courtyard of the coiling dragon villa. he looked at the swaying flowers around him, looked at the floating clouds in the sky, and listened to the chirping of the birds on the branches¡­everything was so easy and natural. for a moment, lin fan felt as though he had broken through a thin layer. however, this thin film quickly disappeared. this caused lin fan to sink into deep thought. holy master? it transcended the world and originated from the world. all these years, he had been staying in the coiling dragon villa and had completely lost the opportunity to experience the world. perhaps he had to go out for a walk to have an opportunity to break through. if he wanted to do it, he would do it. lin fan didn¡¯t tell hu tian and the others about this. instead, he took a step forward alone and instantly appeared on the streets of earth¡¯s city. as a result, coiling dragon villa lost a powerhouse with monstrous strength. there was an ordinary pedestrian in the city. Chapter 753 - Chapter 753 Changes in Times; Familiar! chapter 753 changes in times; familiar! the current earth was different from what lin fan remembered. there were many changes. skyscrapers that had a great visual impact, flying motorcycles that only existed in movies and cartoons, and all kinds of people who were surrounded by flames, ice armor, or wings¡­ they walked freely on the streets. this feeling was like coming to a game world. initially, lin fan was curious. after some interaction, he finally knew¡­ it turned out that the current earth was affected by spiritual energy and the fragments of the great dao, allowing many people to possess special abilities. these people with special abilities were different from the rest and possessed great strength. gradually, it became a trend. therefore, those who had special abilities liked to display their special abilities on the surface of their bodies to show their strength. as for those without special abilities, they bought decorations to achieve the effect of special abilities to satisfy their vanity. lin fan couldn¡¯t help but sigh,¡¯times change too quickly.¡¯ as lin fan walked, he tasted the delicacies of earth and commented on them from time to time. ¡°the meat is soft, fat but not greasy.¡± ¡°it melts in your mouth, leaving an endless aftertaste.¡± ¡°chewy, not bad!¡± ¡­. ¡°although people have changed a lot about fashion, their pursuit of food is still the same as before.¡± lin fan nodded his head in satisfaction. when lin fan arrived before a hundred meter tall statue, he could not help but stop. ¡°do you also want to obtain power from the sovereign lord?¡± the middle-aged man beside him asked.¡± ¡°sovereign lord?¡± lin fan was puzzled. when the middle-aged man heard that, his expression became even more confused than lin fan¡¯s. ¡°you don¡¯t know sovereign lord?¡± lin fan nodded. the middle-aged man said,¡±it¡¯s rare for there to be people on earth who don¡¯t know about the sovereign lord. could it be¡­¡± don¡¯t you watch the news?¡± lin fan said,¡± the place i¡¯m staying at is special. there¡¯s no internet.¡±¡± lin fan was lying. coiling dragon villa had internet, and the signal was especially good. however, he rarely used it. when he was still an ordinary person, he liked to play games and watch anime¡­ however, after possessing a powerful cultivation base, these things were all less attractive to him. after all, anime and games were just the imagination of ordinary people. what lin fan had experienced and possessed far surpassed these fantasies. how could this be attractive to him? ¡°on a deserted island?¡± the middle-aged man asked curiously.¡± as he said this, he sized up lin fan again. however, he couldn¡¯t sense any aura of someone who had returned from the wilderness from him. ¡°are there still undiscovered islands?¡± in the past, there were indeed many deserted islands on earth. that was because these islands were located on the vast sea, and it was difficult for planes and ships to find and reach them. however, with today¡¯s technology and many people with special abilities, was there still an island that had not been discovered? the middle-aged man didn¡¯t probe further and continued,¡±¡±the sovereign lord is the lord of our earth, lord lin fan!¡± when he said this, his face revealed an unconcealable look of admiration. it was a kind of respect that came from the bottom of his heart. ¡± lord lin fan has an omnipotent power. the reason why we are able to survive in this vast universe is all thanks to lord lin fan. he is the savior of earth!¡± ¡°you know what? according to incomplete statistics, earth had encountered more than 10000 crises, including 7900 meteorite crises and 1200 alien attacks. as for other disasters on earth, such as plagues, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and so on, there were countless of them!¡± ¡°if it wasn¡¯t for the overlord, our earth would have been destroyed countless times. in fact, everyone might have been captured and enslaved.¡± ¡°the overlord is the savior of our earth!¡± when the middle-aged man said this, he could not help but dance with excitement. ¡°in addition, many people who don¡¯t have special abilities or who only have very weak special abilities have the chance to obtain powerful special abilities bestowed by the overlord as long as they believe in him!¡± when lin fan heard this, his face turned weird. he had indeed saved earth a few times. however, it was still far from ten thousand times, right? and¡­ when did he bestow any special abilities? then, lin fan thought of little rock, zheng cong, song wenxuan, and riemann. could it be that when they recruited geniuses, they displayed some strength? then, it slowly spread like this? the middle-aged man saw that lin fan seemed to have been influenced by his words and continued,¡±¡±how is it? isn¡¯t the sovereign lord great?¡± should he say that he was great? how could he do that? lin fan rubbed his nose. ¡± i don¡¯t know why,¡± the middle-aged man said.¡± i keep feeling that you look familiar. have we met somewhere before?¡±¡± ¡°don¡¯t misunderstand. i didn¡¯t mean to get close to you.¡± ¡°young man, can you tell me your name? by the way, my name is huang tao.¡± ¡°lin fan.¡± lin fan said. after he finished speaking, he stepped forward. his speed seemed slow, but it was actually fast. in a few breaths, it disappeared. only the middle-aged man was left muttering. ¡°lin fan? why does this name sound like¡­¡± in the next moment, he suddenly thought of something. he suddenly raised his head and looked at the statue that was more than a hundred meters tall in front of him. his eyes widened. ¡­. lin fan had lived alone on earth for a few years. he was relaxed and contented. his entire heart had become abnormally calm. in the beginning, he still had a playful attitude. they just ate, drank, and enjoyed the scenery. gradually, he seemed to fuse with the ordinary people. or rather, he was just an ordinary person. lin fan bought a house in the small town and even found a job. he worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. it reached a state of integration between heaven and man. however, he was still far from a breakthrough. on this day, lin fan raised his head slowly and looked up at the endless starry sky. he felt that if he wanted to break through, he would have to go out and take a look. this was the intuition of a cultivator. he began to recall the current defense of earth. it had a defense that could withstand the attacks of 100 sacred lords for 1500 years. then, he calculated his own methods. he had equipment that could defend against the simultaneous attacks of 20 sacred lords, 10 ultra-long-distance teleportation talismans, and 10 pairs of sacred lord-level speed-increasing boots. in this way, there was no need to worry about the safety of earth. as for him, even if he encountered a sacred lord, he should be able to protect himself if he was no match for him. with these thoughts in mind, lin fan finally took a step forward and disappeared from the face of earth like a beam of light. ¡­. Chapter 754 - Chapter 754 Arriving at the Dark Universe! chapter 754 arriving at the dark universe! the next moment, lin fan appeared in a soft world. he took a deep breath. the air was filled with a sweet smell. lin fan looked around and realized that the trees, houses, mountains¡­they were all made of candy. this¡­ it was actually a world made of candy. ¡°woo!¡± at this moment, a train that looked like thomas roared and drove over from afar. there was also a group of short people wearing colorful clothes. when lin fan saw them, they also saw lin fan. they stuck their heads out of the car window and started chattering. lin fan could not help but smile at this. ¡°whoosh!¡± at this moment, a bearded man dressed in red drove a flying motorboat and stopped in front of lin fan. ¡°respected expert, hello. welcome to candy planet. i am the governor of candy planet, clay.¡± lin fan nodded,¡± hello, my name is lin fan.¡±¡± this expert actually told him his name? klein became extremely excited and said respectfully,¡±¡±lord lin, our candy planet has all kinds of candies, as well as many special scenery and games. if you are interested, i can bring you around and play.¡± lin fan nodded,¡± alright.¡± this candy planet was like a world in an anime. it was colorful and incomparably sweet. if you wanted to eat candy, you could just open your mouth and eat all kinds of candy. lin fan stayed here for half a year before leaving. next, he went to a world full of seawater and saw the legendary mermaids there. he went to the flame world and saw the earth¡¯s core man there. they went to the snow world, where snow was everywhere and snowmen were everywhere. he went to the world in the sky and saw many angels with wings there. all kinds of scenery, all kinds of customs¡­it caused lin fan¡¯s state of mind and comprehension to increase by different degrees. the layer of membrane that had been broken through gradually became clearer and clearer. lin fan had a feeling that it wouldn¡¯t be long before he could truly break through. on this day, lin fan stood on a mountain peak, allowing the gentle breeze to caress his clothes. he felt extremely relaxed and comfortable. he looked down at the beautiful scenery for a while, then turned his attention to the system panel.

Chapter 755 - Chapter 755 Find Lin Chengzhen; Go! chapter 755 find lin chengzhen; go! lin fan looked around. the withered trees and writhing snakes were extremely desolate and decaying. then, he began to use soul communication with lin chengzhen. ¡°true!¡± after a long while, a hoarse reply came. ¡°dad?¡± when lin fan heard his voice, he heaved a sigh of relief. then, his heart ached again. what had his son experienced to make him sound so tired?

this was definitely a very dangerous thing. li hao hurriedly turned around and jumped back several meters to maintain a safe distance. however, lin fan didn¡¯t really care too much about this. he immediately turned his gaze to lin chengzhen. at this moment, lin chengzhen¡¯s appearance was unkempt, and his face was sickly. there were many wounds on his body, especially the wound on his abdomen. it hurt his foundation, not only making it impossible for him to circulate his energy, but also causing him to constantly endure great pain. lin cheng didn¡¯t seem to be in any pain. lin fan¡¯s face turned ugly. who was it that dared to injure cheng zhen to such an extent? he raised his hand and waved. the surging light of life surged into lin cheng zhen¡¯s body like spring water. lin chengzhen felt his body warm up. then, the injuries on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. after a dozen breaths, he had completely returned to his original state, and his entire person became extremely relaxed. ¡°thank you, dad,¡± lin chengzhen said in surprise.¡± lin fan waved his hand and said,¡± why are you being so polite with me?¡± ¡°tell me, how did you get your injuries?¡± especially the one in the abdomen.¡± when lin chengzhen heard this, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became dejected again. lin fan noticed this as well and frowned. li hao, who was at the side, had his mouth wide open from lin fan¡¯s actions. at this moment, he finally came back to his senses. ¡°uncle lin, aren¡¯t you too amazing?¡± ¡°uncle lin, is this the legendary light of life? he had actually completely cured cheng cheng in such a short period of time. it was too magical!¡± ¡°uncle lin, can you treat me too? here¡­ this place¡­everyone here is injured.¡± li hao kept pointing at the wounds on his body and even pulled his pants. lin fan knew that li hao was a good friend of lin chengzhen. hence, he casually threw out a ray of light. ¡°whoosh!¡± the next moment, li hao jumped up. ¡°alright, everything¡¯s fine! he¡¯s too powerful!¡± when he turned his head, he happened to see lin chengzhen, who was still in a daze. he couldn¡¯t help but fall silent. ¡°uncle lin, please persuade cheng zhen too. don¡¯t let him hang himself on a tree.¡±¡± ¡°what do you mean?¡± lin fan asked. hence, li hao roughly explained what had happened. so¡­ although ke xin had told lin chengzhen not to look for him. however, lin chengzhen still couldn¡¯t stop missing her and spared no effort to find her. heaven did not disappoint those who put in the effort. lin chengzhen finally knew where kexin came from. she was the youngest daughter of the lord of the dashi dynasty, klett, one of the four dynasties of the dark universe. after learning about his background, lin chengzhen rushed to the dashi dynasty as fast as he could. this action made klett angry. he claimed that he was not worthy! prince ji wei had even severely injured lin cheng zhen with a single finger. if it wasn¡¯t for kexin¡¯s death, lin chengzhen might have already died. when lin fan heard this, his face turned extremely ugly. he said in a deep voice,¡±¡±there is no woman in this world that my son is not worthy of!¡± ¡°cheng zhen, i¡¯ll go to the great dynasty with you!¡± in fact, after lin chengzhen¡¯s injuries had completely recovered, he had really thought of looking for kexin again. however, when he heard lin fan¡¯s words, he started to hesitate. it didn¡¯t matter if he was injured, humiliated, or even killed. however, he did not want to implicate his father. lin fan said,¡± a man, why are you being so wishy-washy?¡± what, you don¡¯t like that kexin anymore?¡± ¡°no, i like her!¡± lin chengzhen said,¡± but¡­¡± ¡°as long as you like it!¡± lin fan said,¡± let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°uncle lin, can you bring me along?¡± li hao asked.¡± li hao and lin cheng were really good brothers who had gone through life and death together. back then, if he knew that lin cheng had really gone to the dashi dynasty to find his lover¡­ he must have followed them. all these years, li hao had been in a terrible mood when he saw lin cheng zhen¡¯s dejected appearance. he wanted to help his good brother. even if the helper might be injured or even die. lin fan could tell that li hao was serious. he nodded and said,¡±¡±do you know the way?¡± ¡°i know him!¡± li hao said. ¡°alright, show me the way.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, lin fan, lin cheng zhen, and li hao disappeared from where they were.

it must be noted that even the fastest starship would take at least a year! also, what kind of power did lin fan use just now? there were so many experts, and they all fell down with a roar? ¡°whoosh!¡± while lin cheng zhen and li hao were in shock¡­ ¡°ang!¡± a golden luck dragon representing the great era dynasty soared into the sky and instantly lit up the sky. then, countless armored warriors flew up and flew in his direction at high speed. these armored warriors were at least at the planetary state. each of them had a tyrannical aura. when these people stood together, they formed a military formation that was comparable to the might of heaven. the terrifying aura was like a mountain that could topple and overturn the seas as it crushed towards lin fan, lin cheng zhen, and li hao. ¡°buzz!¡± however, it was blocked by a transparent protective barrier on their surface and did not affect them at all. the army that filled the sky stopped tens of kilometers away from lin fan, lin chengzhen, and li hao. they split up a path that was hundreds of meters wide in the middle. ¡°ang!¡± ten huge golden dragons pulled a golden carriage out of the middle of the road and stopped steadily in front of the army. the curtain of the carriage slowly opened, revealing keribo, who was wearing a python robe. ¡°who are you, fellow daoist?¡± he asked.¡± ¡°you don¡¯t deserve to know my name.¡±lin fan said calmly. lin fan was returning the favor by saying that lin chengzhen wasn¡¯t worthy of marrying his daughter. however, lin fan wasn¡¯t boasting. that was because lin fan already knew about keribo¡¯s cultivation base through the system. he was only at emperor level 6. under the observation of the eye of heaven, his entire body was densely packed with weaknesses. lin fan could kill it with a single strike. in this world, the strong were respected. how could a weakling like keribo know the name of an expert like lin fan? keribo¡¯s expression instantly turned ugly. ¡°fellow daoist, aren¡¯t you being too condescending?¡± he asked in a deep voice.¡± the generals behind him shouted loudly. ¡°your majesty, please allow me to capture this person!¡± ¡°your majesty, please allow me to capture this thief!¡± ¡°how dare you!¡± ¡­. lin fan dug his ears and said,¡± it¡¯s too noisy.¡± ¡°kneel down!¡± ¡°hualala!¡± the million warriors who were originally valiant and spirited suddenly felt as if a mountain had appeared on their shoulders. their legs instantly bent and they knelt in the void. only keribo seemed to be relying on a special piece of equipment to support himself in the void with great difficulty. sweat¡­it kept rolling off his forehead. as soon as he said that, a million warriors knelt down! it was simply terrifying! this scene made lin chengzhen and li hao, who were standing behind him, gape again. they were completely stunned on the spot. Chapter 757 - Chapter 757 Revenge; Gold Mountain! chapter 757 revenge; gold mountain! one had to know that this was not a million ordinary people. instead, they were all warriors above the star traveller level. with just one sentence, he could suppress a million experts! such a scene was simply unheard of. lin fan glanced at keribo indifferently. he did not continue to exert force to make him kneel. after all, the other party might even be his in-law in the future. he couldn¡¯t make it too ugly. lin fan said,¡± keribo, is my son worthy of your daughter?¡±¡± keribo smiled bitterly in his heart. all along, he had wanted his children to merge with the big forces. who would have thought that he would actually reject the greatest force? the biggest force? that¡¯s right! this was what keribo was thinking. because in this world, the strong were respected. lin fan suppressed a million soldiers with a single sentence. at the same time, he suppressed himself so much that he couldn¡¯t even raise his head. he himself was the greatest force! keribo took a few deep breaths to stabilize himself. he said with difficulty,¡±before¡­¡± senior, i was blindfolded. please forgive me.¡± lin fan said,¡± let the children decide for themselves. how about that?¡±¡± ¡°senior is right.¡± keribo hurriedly said. ¡°alright, let them meet first.¡±lin fan said. as soon as he finished speaking, his aura suddenly withdrew. keribo felt his entire body relax, and he almost fell to the ground. ¡°senior, please.¡± he bowed and said respectfully. lin fan, lin cheng zhen, and li hao were led by keribo into the palace. ¡­. at this moment, in the green phoenix hall. after lin fan¡¯s voice spread throughout the entire great era dynasty, ke xin and the eldest princess raised their heads and looked up into the sky. when ke xin saw lin chengzhen in the air, he danced with joy. however, after seeing countless experts flying towards lin chengzhen, she became extremely nervous. when he learned that his father was going to lead an army to attack lin chengzhen, kexin was even more worried. if the eldest princess hadn¡¯t stopped her, she would have already run to lin chengzhen¡¯s side. however, what happened next shocked ke xin and the eldest princess. his father and a million soldiers had been suppressed with a single sentence? moreover, that person was actually lin chengzhen¡¯s father? after a long while, ke xin came back to his senses. ¡°cheng zhen, cheng zhen is coming!¡± she shouted excitedly.¡± ¡°big sister, cheng zhen is coming!¡± after the eldest princess heard kexin¡¯s words, she slowly came back to her senses. she stammered,¡±yes¡­¡± that¡¯s right.¡± then, he asked,¡±kexin, lin chengzhen, he¡­¡± who was it? who is his father?¡± at this moment, ke xin was completely immersed in joy. how could she be in the mood to think about this? she said perfunctorily,¡±i don¡¯t know.¡± then, he said,¡±big sister, look at my clothes. what do you think?¡±¡± ¡°should i comb my hair again?¡± the eldest princess was about to speak¡­ ¡°whoosh!¡± a golden light appeared in front of him and slowly condensed into a few figures. they were lin fan, lin cheng zhen, li hao, and keribo. ¡°it¡¯s true!¡± ke xin said excitedly. almost at the same time, lin chengzhen shouted,¡±¡±kexin!¡± then, the two couldn¡¯t help but run towards each other and hug each other tightly. the pain of longing was released at this moment. if it was before, keribo would definitely tremble in anger when he saw this scene. at this moment, his face was full of smiles. they were still in love. perhaps, he could become in-laws with this expert in front of him. lin fan saw everything and said,¡±¡±chengzhen, it¡¯s your choice to fall in love. i can only guarantee that when you fall in love, you won¡¯t be stopped because of your family background¡­do you agree, keribo?¡± ¡°absolutely not!¡±¡± lin fan said,¡± also, i heard that a person called ji wei injured my son?¡±¡± keribo¡¯s expression changed slightly. he quickly raised his hand and waved it, forming a claw in the air. as if he was grabbing a chick, he instantly grabbed ji wei, who was wearing armor. ji wei had also seen the scene of lin fan suppressing an army of a million with just a single sentence. he had already panicked to the extreme. at this moment, when keribo grabbed her, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. lin fan raised his hand and pointed at ji wei¡¯s stomach. ¡°boom!¡± a terrifying force instantly sent him flying, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood. his entire person became dispirited. lin fan then said,¡± you hurt my son and i hurt you. i won¡¯t pursue it.¡± as for the grudge between you and my son, wait until my son reaches the same cultivation level as you before he decides how to deal with you.¡± ¡°thank you, daddy.¡± lin chengzhen said. then, lin fan¡¯s gaze landed on ke xin. ¡°i already know about what happened between the two of you. i believe that you will live a happy life.¡± ¡°thank you,¡± ke xin said seriously. ¡°i¡¯m going to pick up your mother and sister before returning to earth. this is a teleportation talisman.¡±lin fan said to lin chengzhen. ¡°okay, dad.¡± lin chengzhen said. lin fan did not stay in the dark universe for long. he took a step forward and followed the interstellar map, heading toward the demon forces at high speed. after lin fan left, the atmosphere in the cyan phoenix palace became much more relaxed. the strength that lin fan had displayed was simply too strong. this made everyone, and even the entire space, seem to have become heavy. ¡°cheng zhen, who is your father?¡± ke xin couldn¡¯t help but ask. why haven¡¯t i heard you mention it in detail before?¡± hearing this, not only did keribo, but the royal princess and li hao also pricked up their ears. clearly, they were all curious about lin fan¡¯s identity. ¡± i was able to reach my current level of cultivation before i was even 200 years old,¡± lin chengzhen said.¡± a large part of the reason is because of my father.¡± as for his identity and how strong he is, i¡¯m not too sure.¡± when everyone heard this¡­ li hao¡¯s expression did not change. keribo, ke xin, the eldest princess, ji wei, and the others all widened their eyes. one had to know¡­ lin cheng zhen was a domain lord now. a two-hundred-year-old domain lord, this talent¡­simply monstrous! originally, ji wei thought that his cultivation level was far from lin chengzhen¡¯s. lin chengzhen could forget about taking revenge on him in this lifetime. now, he was panicking. ¡°cheng zhen, you¡¯re only two hundred years old?¡± ke xin covered his mouth.¡± ¡°yes,¡± lin chengzhen nodded. ¡°why didn¡¯t you tell me before?¡± ke xin said. ¡°you didn¡¯t ask.¡± lin chengzhen said. ¡°but¡­however, i¡¯m over 20,000 years old this year¡­so much older than you¡­¡± ke xin said in a dilemma. lin chengzhen smiled.¡± it¡¯s fine. in our world, there¡¯s a saying that goes,¡¯when a woman grows up, she¡¯ll carry a gold brick.¡¯ you¡¯re 20,000 years older. i¡¯m carrying a mountain of gold.¡± Chapter 758 - Chapter 758 Head to the Demon Realm and Find an Opportunity! chapter 758 head to the demon realm and find an opportunity! due to the war between the demon realm, the ocean realm, and the buddha realm, many universes had become extremely chaotic. the new moon cosmos, as the headquarters of the demon realm, was even more chaotic. roaring demonic dragons, bared tiger demons, whistling bird demons, wandering fish demons¡­ almost every place was filled with an aura that made people tremble. it was no wonder that they were like this. this was because as the war between the demons and the buddhas reached its climax, many great demons entered the buddha realm to massacre. the buddhas were unwilling to be bullied, so they quietly infiltrated the demon world and carried out large-scale download enlightenment. all free and unlocked chapters not long ago, there was a huge incident where all the living beings on more than ten planets were converted into buddhas. ¡­. snow moon hotel. a group of armored demon beasts with beast faces and human bodies walked in. a powerful aura surged out like a wave. the manager quickly came up and said respectfully,¡±greetings, milord.¡± the demon beast standing at the front raised its head and pointed its black nostrils at the waiter.¡±have any monks come to your shop

room in the hotel. immediately, the rooms were filled with the sound of chickens and dogs jumping. it was very chaotic. when the manager saw this, he could only sigh helplessly. on the surface, he became even more respectful as he entertained the demon beasts. in a room deep in the hotel. qiu ziqian and lin yulian were extremely nervous. although they were not from the buddha realm. however, they were also people that the demon realm wanted to capture. however, due to the recent incident in the buddha realm, the capture efforts had decreased a little. ¡°don¡¯t be nervous, it¡¯ll be fine,¡± qiu ziqian whispered.¡± lin yulian nodded vigorously. ¡°whoosh!¡± at this moment, a ball of black gas rushed in. gradually, it condensed into a demonic beast with a tiger head and a human body. its cold eyes swept across the room. when it saw qiu ziqian and lin yulian, it only glanced at them. this was because they all had very long hair and did not have any buddhist aura. they were not from the buddhist realm. there was no one else in the room. thus, the tiger-headed demonic beast prepared to return. it was also at this moment that it caught a glimpse of lin yulian from the corner of its eye. it paused in its steps. it suddenly realized that it seemed to have seen her somewhere before. after a while, a wanted person overlapped with lin yulian and qiu ziqian in the mind of the tiger-headed demonic beast. ¡°it¡¯s you!¡± it shouted sternly. as soon as it finished speaking, it pulled out the long saber at its waist and slashed at the two of them. ¡°boom!¡± a huge ravine was formed on the ground where the blade energy passed. qiu ziqian and lin yulian used all their strength to dodge to the side. ¡°whoosh!¡± the demon beasts who were originally checking the other rooms thought that they had encountered the buddhist people and rushed over. soon, qiu ziqian and lin yulian were surrounded by five demon beasts. one of the demon beasts with a wolf head and human body said,¡±sixth brother, what¡¯s going on?¡± it clearly felt that qiu ziqian and lin yulian were not buddhist people. then, why did the tiger-headed demonic beast attack? ¡°they are the targets of the second level mission,¡± the tiger-headed demonic beast said.¡± ¡± level 2 mission?!¡± all the demon beasts were shocked. the shifters had a mission hall with missions ranging from level 10 to level 1. level 1 was the highest level mission. level 2 was definitely a big quest! once it was completed, the reward would definitely be very generous! instantly, the demons looked at qiu ziqian and lin yulian with greed in their eyes. it was as if he had seen two treasure chests. lin yulian couldn¡¯t help but shiver. qiu ziqian suppressed the fear in her heart and said,¡±¡±yulian, don¡¯t be afraid. we¡¯ll be fine.¡± ¡°are you alright?¡± the tiger-headed demonic beast grinned and said,¡± it¡¯s indeed fine now. however, if you resist, that might not be the case.¡± ¡°get on the ground, or else!¡± it directly raised the long saber in its hand and emitted an extremely terrifying cold air. at this moment, a loud and clear voice suddenly sounded from behind. ¡°otherwise, what?¡± the demons turned around to look at the voice. he only saw¡­a tall and handsome man appeared in his field of vision. he¡­ it was lin fan. ¡°lin fan!¡± qiu ziqian said excitedly. lin fan¡¯s figure flashed and appeared right in front of her. ¡°dad!¡± lin yulian said. lin fan said,¡± you guys have suffered.¡± the tiger-headed demon said,¡±it seems that you are not willing to be captured without a fight. then¡­¡± die!¡± as soon as it finished speaking, it raised its saber and slashed again. ¡°tsk!¡± lin fan¡¯s eyes didn¡¯t even move as he waved his hand. ¡°whoosh!¡± a vast sword light whistled out and instantly covered the area. it fell from the head of the tiger-headed demon. ¡°plop!¡± in the next moment, the tiger-headed demon was split into two from the middle and fell to the ground, completely losing its vitality. the remaining demons ¡®pupils constricted. ¡°what?¡± ¡°everyone, be careful!¡± all the demons drew their weapons as if they were facing a great enemy. however, some things didn¡¯t have great effects just because one was prepared. he saw¡­ lin fan¡¯s palm swept out. ¡°whoosh!¡± a sharp force swept out. the entire space seemed to have been frozen, and all the demons stopped their movements. in the next moment¡­ the bodies of the demons split apart smoothly from the middle and landed heavily on the ground, making a muffled sound. his life force had completely dissipated! ¡± zi qian, yu lian, it¡¯s fine,¡± lin fan said.¡± qiu ziqian and lin yulian were stunned for a few seconds before nodding vigorously. then, lin fan said,¡± yulian, let¡¯s go get the thing you need.¡±¡± lin yulian¡¯s beautiful eyes lit up when she heard this. then, he said worriedly,¡±that thing is in the demon king palace¡­¡± why don¡¯t we look for another opportunity first¡­¡± lin yulian had come from earth to find the things she needed in her dream. that thing was extremely important to her, even related to her life. however, when she came to the demon realm, she became less anxious. on the one hand, it seemed that the distance was close, so even if he did not get it, it would not be as painful as on earth. on the other hand, lin yulian knew how powerful and terrifying the demons were. even though lin yulian had seen lin fan¡¯s strength just now. however, this place¡­after all, they were demons. who knew how many experts there were in the demon palace. what kind of eyesight did lin fan have? he could easily see the worry in lin yulian¡¯s heart. he smiled and patted her head.¡±¡±don¡¯t worry, i¡¯m just taking some things from the demon palace. there won¡¯t be any danger.¡± Chapter 759 - Chapter 759 Breakthrough; Birth of a Saint! chapter 759 breakthrough; birth of a saint! demon palace. a large group of powerful demons stood in line in front. with their protection, even a fly would find it difficult to fly in. however, lin fan, qiu ziqian, and lin yulian appeared in front of the door and walked in. ¡°dad, be careful of these big demons. they are very powerful and might know me.¡±lin yulian said carefully. ¡°be careful¡­¡± at first, qiu ziqian and lin yulian were very worried. but soon, their mouths were wide open. that was because lin fan brought them through the door. however, the demons at the door did not seem to see it. they continued to stand quietly on both sides. even after the three of them walked in completely, they did not encounter any big demons blocking them. in fact. this was normal. this was because lin fan had obtained the sun moon spirit technique from the system. this was a technique that could conceal one¡¯s figure. however, in the beginning, it was only a king level cultivation technique. after that, lin fan had forcefully upgraded it into a holy lord level skill. for lin fan to cast the sun moon spirit skill of the holy lord level, unless one¡¯s cultivation state was close to his or the holy lord himself, there was no way that one would be able to discover it. when the three of them reached the depths of the demon palace, lin yulian finally couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±¡±dad, they can¡¯t see us?¡± lin fan smiled,¡± yes.¡± ¡°this¡­ he¡¯s too powerful.¡± lin yulian said sincerely. ¡°can you feel where it is?¡±lin fan asked. ¡°in front!¡± lin yulian pointed ahead excitedly. lin yulian¡¯s blood started to boil as she advanced. this was a tremor that came from the soul. the three of them could not help but quicken their pace. a moment later, they appeared in front of a tall, heavy metal door. at the top of the door, there were three big words written in a flamboyant manner: treasure vault. two powerful demons stood on both sides, making people feel intimidated. lin yulian tried her best to suppress her excitement and said,¡±¡±dad, the thing is inside.¡± lin fan nodded,¡± alright, let¡¯s go in.¡±¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he walked forward again. ¡°dong dong dong!¡± as the three of them got closer and closer. lin yulian¡¯s heart began to beat wildly, as if it would jump out of her throat at any moment. on the one hand, he was excited. soon, he might be able to obtain what he had been thinking about day and night. on the other hand, he was nervous and afraid. after all, this was the demon palace¡¯s treasure vault, and the defense was definitely very tight. ¡°plop!¡± when they got close to the metal door, the eyelids of the demons standing on both sides suddenly sank, and they fell straight to the ground with a dull sound. then, the metal door let out a crisp sound and opened wide. ¡°phew!¡± the dense spiritual energy was like a tidal wave, whistling toward the faces of the three of them. at the same time, all kinds of treasures appeared in front of the three of them. lin yulian¡¯s gaze fell directly on a pearl that was shining with a fiery red light in the middle. she said excitedly,¡±dad, over there!¡± lin fan raised his hand and the pearl flew into his hand. then, he handed it to lin yulian. ¡°whoosh!¡± the moment the orb touched lin yulian, it turned into a stream of light and quickly entered her body. seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s hands were drawing in the void as a series of strange talismans shot out and entered lin yulian¡¯s body. lin fan had long since learned from the system that lin yulian would obtain the memories of the immortal phoenix after coming into contact with the pearl. what he was doing now was to seal the immortal phoenix¡¯s memories so that his daughter would not be affected in any way. after a long time, lin yulian slowly opened her eyes. golden light flickered in her eyes. ¡°phew!¡± at the same time, a powerful aura spread out from her body. ¡°yulian, how are you?¡± qiu ziqian asked.¡± ¡°mom, it¡¯s fine now. i¡¯m fine now!¡± lin yulian said happily. furthermore, my cultivation level has broken through to the universe level!¡± ¡°really?¡± qiu ziqian asked excitedly. that¡¯s great!¡± ¡°yulian, ziqian, shall we go back now?¡± lin fan asked.¡± ¡°alright.¡± the two of them said in unison. with a wave of his hand, everything in the treasure vault entered his internal dimension. even though the items in the treasury were of no use to him. however, bringing it back to earth for xia bing, xia xue, hu tian, or other people on earth was still useful. after all, it was just a casual matter. ¡°whoosh!¡± in the next moment, lin fan, qiu ziqian and lin yulian arrived on earth. hu tian, xia bing, xia xue, su ningjing, and the others shouted happily when they saw them. ¡°lin fan!¡± ¡°zi qian!¡± ¡°lin fan!¡± ¡°zi qian!¡± ¡°yu lian!¡± a series of calls rose and fell. today, the coiling dragon villa, which had been silent for a long time, became lively again. lin fan spent a few blissful days with his loved ones. on this day, he came to his room. lin fan took in a deep breath and said,¡±¡±it¡¯s about time to break through.¡± breakthrough! that¡¯s right! the experience of life during this period of time had already allowed his cultivation to reach a complete realm. the layer of membrane that he had broken through was within reach! ¡°phew!¡± lin fan exhaled out gently, causing the entire earth to be swept up by a cool breeze. in the next moment¡­ lin fan¡¯s body suddenly shot out a golden light. this golden light was not dazzling, but very gentle. it illuminated earth, the spring region, the four seasons universe, and many other worlds, making them extremely warm. all the living beings that were illuminated by the golden light began to have more vitality in their bodies. the man with high nearsightedness suddenly regained his vision. the woman with the inconvenient legs suddenly stood up. the old man, whose heart had just stopped beating, suddenly resumed breathing. ¡­. countless people started discussing. ¡°what¡¯s that?¡± ¡°why is there suddenly a golden light?¡± ¡°could it be that an immortal is about to appear?¡± ¡°quickly take a photo and post it on your wechat moments.¡± ¡­. in the universe. ¡°what kind of light is this? my cultivation suddenly became smoother.¡± ¡°my mind is so clear.¡± ¡°this golden light actually covers such a far distance.¡± ¡­. some ancient existences that had been sleeping for countless years opened their eyes one after another. ¡°could this be¡­¡± ¡°holy light!¡± ¡°that¡¯s right, it¡¯s holy light!¡± ¡± someone is about to advance to the holy lord level!¡± ¡°which fellow daoist is it?¡± ¡°i originally thought that the path to becoming a holy master had been cut off, but now i see hope again!¡± obviously, the knowledge of these ancient existences far exceeded that of ordinary people. ¡­. at this moment, lin fan¡¯s figure continued to rise and rise on earth. ¡°break!¡± ¡°whoosh!¡± billions of rays of light shot into the clouds and traversed the universe. at the same time, a tall figure appeared in countless worlds, and a melodious, melodious music that struck the heart sounded. the birth of a saint was a joyous occasion for heaven and earth! Chapter 760 - Chapter 760 The Fall of the Holy Master; the Heavens and Earth Mourn Together! chapter 760 the fall of the holy master; the heavens and earth mourn together! at this moment. almost all the living beings raised their heads to look at the tall figure. their eyes were filled with yearning, excitement, and speculation¡­ as the owner of this figure, lin fan was currently floating in the void above earth. he took a light breath, and the spiritual qi that permeated the void automatically gathered and entered his body like a river entering the sea. lin fan clenched his fists gently. he felt as though he could control countless living beings with just a raise of his hand. mysterious and powerful to the extreme. then, lin fan turned his attention to the system panel. [host: lin fan] [cultivation: early stage holy lord] [skills: sword 81 (sacred lord-level), curse technique (sacred king-level), sword nurturing technique (sacred lord-level), universe sword technique (sacred lord-level)¡­] [equipment: star meteorite sword (holy lord), flame armor (holy lord), heavenly soul bead (holy lord), true dragon sword (holy lord)¡­] [laws: time (intermediate), space (advanced), metal (advanced), wood (advanced), water (advanced), fire (advanced), earth (advanced), life (advanced), death (advanced), yin (advanced), yang (advanced), wind (advanced)¡­] [character relationship: lin tao, daddy, favorability: 10 stars; [dai weixue: mom, favorability rating of 10 stars.] lin xiaoyao, sister, favorability: 10 stars; xia xue: dao companion, favorability 10 stars; [xia bing: dao companion, favorability: 10 stars¡­] he had finally reached the holy lord level. lin fan¡¯s lips curled up. he was in a good mood. if they were in a good mood, they should celebrate. hence, lin fan shifted his attention to curse arts and tyrant. [do you want to spend 100 million spirit stones to curse tai ba?] ¡°yes, sir!¡± [do you want to spend 100 million spirit stones to curse tai ba?] ¡°yes, sir!¡± [do you want to spend 100 million spirit stones to curse tai ba?] ¡°yes, sir!¡± ¡­. the curse only ended after ten times. lin fan¡¯s face was filled with satisfaction. ¡­. on the other hand. demon palace. ¡°treasure¡­the treasure vault has been stolen!¡± ¡°the treasure vault has been stolen!¡± ¡°someone come!¡± ¡°someone come quickly!¡± shouts resounded throughout the entire demon palace. the investigation and interrogation proceeded quickly. however, there was no effect. this made all the demons anxious. one had to know that this treasure vault stored many of the most precious treasures of the demon race. among them, there were even things that even sacred lords cared about. it was one of the demon race¡¯s foundations. now, they had all disappeared without a trace? this was definitely a major event. a major event that had never happened before in the demon race! the current leader of the demon race admitted that he could not bear such a responsibility. after thinking about it again and again, he resolutely reported the matter to the demon ancestor¡­ tyrannical! recently, tai ba had been suppressing the power of the curse with all his might. he had just stabilized a little when he received a report from the demon clan leader. originally, he didn¡¯t want to pay attention to it. however, when he found out that his treasures had also been stolen. he felt as if he had been slapped in the face and was a little angry. thus, tai ba still came to the demon palace from outside the 33 heavens. ¡°welcome, demon ancestor!¡± all the demons said in unison. their tone was filled with respect, excitement, and fear. tai ba did not respond at all. he leaped and directly arrived at the treasure vault. ¡°when the inspectors arrived, the two king-level demons guarding the door had already fallen asleep,¡± the demon lord hurriedly said.¡± tai ba¡¯s cold eyes swept over the two king level demons. ¡°what did you see?¡± the two king-level demons said in a very mechanical voice,¡±¡±we didn¡¯t see anything.¡± tai ba was using a special control technique that allowed him to know the true situation from the depths of his soul. and they still gave the same answer. clearly, they really didn¡¯t know. tai ba frowned and took a step forward, entering the treasure vault. the treasure vault was now empty. there was nothing left. his eyes emitted golden light as he used a secret technique to investigate. instantly, time quickly reversed in his vision. back to when the treasure was still there. while tai ba was silently watching, all the treasures suddenly evaporated. even he couldn¡¯t figure it out. this was normal. one had to know that lin fan¡¯s mastery of the power of time had already reached an extremely deep level. perhaps only sacred lords who specialized in time could see through it. and tai ba only knew a little bit of it. naturally, he couldn¡¯t see lin fan. on top of that, lin fan had even set up a holy master level formation on the surface. this had added to the disturbance. tai ba¡¯s expression turned ugly. he actually couldn¡¯t see it! this explained many problems. this was the attack of a holy lord! instantly, figures appeared in his mind. he was about to say something. ¡°whoosh!¡± at this moment, tai ba¡¯s body suddenly emitted a dense black aura of curse. ¡°puff!¡± he spat out a large mouthful of blood. then, a violent and brutal aura erupted like a volcano. ¡°roar!¡± tai ba let out a maniacal roar and shot out a circle of tyrannical energy, directly turning the treasure vault that was densely covered in protective power into dust. the demon lord and the other demons were all attacked indiscriminately by tai ba. they spat out a mouthful of blood and looked very dispirited. ¡°demon ancestor, what happened?¡± the demon lord said in horror. tai ba was not in the mood to answer. he would laugh maniacally at times, cry at times, be angry at times, and be happy at times¡­his entire face became distorted. at the same time, the power of the curse around him continued to rise. ¡°roar!¡± tai ba roared towards the sky once again, shooting out an incomparably powerful energy in all directions. ¡°puff!¡± with this roar, at least half of the demon palace had died. the demon lord who was closer to him also fell to the ground and found it difficult to get up. it was also this roar that gave tai ba an additional strand of consciousness. he sensed his own condition, and his expression was extremely ugly. this was because he realized that the curse had already covered his entire core. moreover, it was continuously melting and destroying his core. and he was simply unable to stop it! tai ba became extremely crazy. he swept up a terrifying energy and rushed into the void. he roared,¡±the bodhi fruit of the buddhist sect has mastered the great dao of curse. it destroyed my dao foundation and damaged my core. today, i shall use all my life force and strength to curse the bodhi fruit!¡± ¡°roar!¡± tai ba roared again in the void. ¡°boom!¡± then, his entire body exploded like the universe. billions of dazzling lights shot out, illuminating countless worlds. at the same time, a series of wails sounded between heaven and earth. everyone felt an inexplicable sense of sadness. the death of the holy master was a tragedy for the world! Chapter 761 - Chapter 761 Change in Situation; Celebration! chapter 761 change in situation; celebration! the leader of the demon race and the other demons cried like rain. part of the reason was due to the influence of heaven and earth. the most important reason was that he was too domineering¡­this demon ancestor had died! the demon race had been a powerful race for countless years. that was because they had a rich foundation. this was because they had the holy lord patriarch. now, his foundation had been stolen. the ancestor died. what should the future of the monster race be like? countless images flashed in the minds of the demons. her tears became even more intense. the demons felt that the future was bleak. ¡­. compared to the demons ¡®frustration. the holy lords were terrified. that was because, in their impression, the holy master was invincible and could never die. however, this impression had been shattered. a sacred lord was dead! furthermore, it was an extremely powerful fey sacred lord! the holy lords could not help but look towards the location of the buddha realm. during this period of time, they also knew that bodhi guo had been cursing tyrant. now, he was cursed to death? just how strong was the bodhi fruit? if he could curse tai ba to death, could he also curse himself to death? worry and a ferocious aura spread around the saint lords. especially the sacred lord of the sea, bo han! all along, he had been suffering from the bodhi fruit¡¯s curse. for this reason, they had no choice but to start a war with the buddha realm. both sides could be said to be fighting to the death. what should he do now? bo han¡¯s expression kept changing, no one knew what he was thinking. ¡­. buddha realm. the buddha realm, which was always filled with buddhist voices, was now silent. the buddhas raised their heads and looked at the bodhi fruit with complicated expressions. bodhi guo was the buddha realm¡¯s holy lord, the ancestor of all buddhas, and an existence revered by all the great buddhas. at this moment, the eyes of the buddhas that were looking at the bodhi fruit were filled with fear and terror. that was because the bodhi fruit had actually ¡®killed¡¯ a sacred master! this represented too many things. what would the other holy masters think? more importantly, did the sacred lord bodhi fruit really possess such power? finally, a buddha could not help but say,¡±did you just kill tai ba?¡± all the buddhas pricked up their ears. they were all filled with anticipation and curiosity. ¡°no.¡± bodhi guo shook his head. he was also very helpless. why did everyone think that he was the one who had been cursing or even killing tai ba? how many times had he explained to tai ba? why didn¡¯t he believe it? he even roared before he died. this was great. what would the other holy masters think of him? bodhi guo put himself in his shoes. if he had known that there was such a person who could curse and kill him, he would definitely not have let him exist in the world. thinking of this, the bodhi fruit could not help but feel a chill. his strength could be ranked at the forefront among the many sacred lords. however, the key was that it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands. if they attacked together, how could he resist? bodhi fruit expressed that he was very square. ¡­. earth. lin fan took a step out after comprehending his current strength and returned to the coiling dragon villa. hu tian, qiu ziqian, xia xue, xia bing, and the others were shocked by what happened earlier. now that they saw lin fan, they all ran over. ¡°lin fan!¡± ¡°are you alright?¡± their faces were filled with worry. lin fan said,¡± don¡¯t worry, i¡¯m fine.¡±¡± hearing lin fan¡¯s relaxed tone, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. hu tian said,¡±lin fan, you seem to be¡­¡± you became stronger again?¡± ¡°yes, i made some breakthroughs.¡± lin fan said,¡± now, we can relax for a long time.¡± when everyone heard this, the smiles on their faces widened. on that day, the coiling dragon villa held a very sumptuous bonfire party. there were skewers and fine wine. the fragrance assailed the nostrils and it was very lively. everyone ate happily. the night gradually deepened. lin fan, xia bing, xia xue, su ningjing, kailin and the rest walked into the room. ¡­. time flowed like water. in the blink of an eye, 100 years had passed. just as lin fan said, they could relax for a long time. in the past 100 years, they did not deliberately spend a long time cultivating. every day, they lived a life where they only envied mandarin ducks and not immortals. however, even so, lin fan¡¯s cultivation state was still increasing by relying on the ethereal breathing technique that had been upgraded to saint king grade. in addition, he had also obtained saint grade spirit stones, great dao fragments, and other treasures from the system over the past hundred years. in just a hundred years, lin fan had already entered the intermediate stage of the holy lord realm. in fact, he had even walked a long distance to the middle stage of the sacred lord realm. ¡­. in the outside world, it was completely different from the peaceful time in the coiling dragon villa. due to tai ba¡¯s fall, the demons lost their protective umbrella, and many enemies began to take revenge. for a moment, the demons became the meat in everyone¡¯s eyes. as for the buddha realm, without the attack of the demons, it was relatively peaceful for the first few decades. however, sometimes, calmness was the sign of a storm. 70 years later, the ocean world, the divine world, the other world, the demon world, and many other worlds attacked the buddha world together. even the powerful buddha realm could not resist such a grand attack. they could only retreat and hide. bodhi fruit had paid a huge price and finally reached an agreement with the many, promising to avoid the battle. when bodhi guo returned to the buddha realm, he only felt physically and mentally exhausted. he had been too tired all these years. ¡­. it was also today¡­ under lin fan¡¯s hard work, a trace of life force suddenly appeared in kailin¡¯s stomach. ¡°heavens! kathleen, you¡¯re pregnant!¡± ¡°there really is!¡± ¡°that¡¯s great. it won¡¯t be long before our coiling dragon villa has a new member!¡± the coiling dragon villa was filled with jubilation. everyone was silent in joy. among them, kailin was the most outstanding. she gently caressed her belly and felt the life force that was emitting from it. her entire face was like a blooming flower, extremely brilliant. ¡°is this the feeling of giving birth to life? really¡­ this is amazing.¡± lin fan was very happy that he was about to have another child. if he was happy, he had to celebrate. he suddenly remembered that he still had an enemy who hadn¡¯t died, and that was bo han. since that was the case, he would curse him and celebrate. [do you want to spend 100 million spiritual stones to curse bo han?] ¡°yes, sir!¡± [do you want to spend 100 million spiritual stones to curse bo han?] ¡°yes, sir!¡± [do you want to spend 100 million spiritual stones to curse bo han?] ¡°yes, sir!¡± ¡­. another 10 curses. only then did it end. at this moment, in the ocean world. bo han sat on the main seat and closed the door. he muttered in his heart,¡¯i¡¯ve finally reached an agreement with the bodhi fruit. the power of the curse has been decreasing over the past hundred years. it shouldn¡¯t be long before it completely dissipates.''¡± then, he sighed again. when had he, the dignified holy lord of the ocean, ever treated others as if they were snakes? however, tai ba¡¯s death had a huge impact on him. it made him afraid. this was why when many forces were dealing with the buddha realm, they took the initiative to show goodwill to the bodhi fruit and urged the final ceasefire. otherwise, how could the war in the buddha realm end so quickly? Chapter 762 - 762 Holy Master Has Fallen Again; Help! 762 holy master has fallen again; help! bo han heaved a sigh of relief. a powerful tsunami-like curse power surged over. ¡°puff!¡± bo han¡¯s heart skipped a beat, his face flushed red as he spat out a mouthful of blood. he was dispirited at first. then, he became extremely deranged. his body would occasionally become bigger and smaller, constantly twisting. then, he could not help but roar. ¡°roar!¡± his voice shook the nine heavens, and his might was unparalleled! countless living beings turned into a bloody mist under this roar. it was extremely terrifying. this roar finally allowed bo han to regain some of his consciousness. his eyes were bloodshot and filled with anger. in the next moment¡­ bo han soared into the sky like a shooting star, sweeping with endless terrifying power. his speed was extremely fast. wherever it passed, it attracted the attention of countless people. if someone was careful, they would be able to discover the location he was heading to¡­ it was the buddha realm! hurry up! hurry up! faster! the extreme speed produced a dazzling light like the sun. in just a moment, the buddha realm appeared in bo han¡¯s vision. seeing this¡­ bo han¡¯s speed didn¡¯t slow down at all. on the contrary, he sped up! before the enemy arrives, the situation will reach the enemy first! the terrifying aura caused trees to fall to the ground, mountains to collapse, and the ground to crack! ¡°pu guo went back on his word and cursed me to death. i will use my life as the price to curse pu guo!¡± bo han shouted madly.¡± ¡°boom!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, bo han crashed into the buddha realm like a comet crashing into the earth, shooting out flames that almost covered half of the buddha realm. a small portion of the buddha realm turned into nothingness, and nearly a quarter of the buddha turned into ashes. the originally magnificent buddha realm became a place of misery and charred black. at this moment, a sorrowful whimper sounded between heaven and earth. this sorrowful voice made the buddha realm, which had suffered a destructive blow, even more sorrowful. the death of a saint was a tragedy for the world! inside the golden thunderclap monastery, bodhi guo looked at the destroyed buddha realm and listened to the chilling voice in his ears. he was completely stunned. there was only one voice in his heart. it was over, it was over, it was completely over! in fact, it was just as he had expected. he was indeed finished. the enemies of the buddha realm took advantage of the chaos to attack when they saw the tragic state of the buddha realm. as for the sacred lords, they once again launched a war against the buddha realm. because they were afraid. tyrant, who had previously been his enemy, was cursed to death by the bodhi fruit. later, bo han, who was his friend, was cursed to death by the bodhi fruit. they were worried that the next person to be cursed to death would be them. the buddha realm had fallen into an unprecedented crisis. ¡­. tao qian was completely stunned when he learned about this. ¡°tai ba and bo han, these two old brats, died just like that?¡± he muttered. isn¡¯t that a little too fast?¡± ¡°whoosh!¡± at this moment, an armored man appeared in the distance. he swung his saber at tao qian. the saber aura soared into the sky, its might shaking the heavens. tao qian hurriedly dodged to the side and said helplessly,¡±¡±i say, now that two saint lords have fallen, why are you still chasing after me? hurry up and join in the fun!¡± what responded to him was another sharp saber energy. ¡­. lin fan was completely oblivious to all of this. his days were still very relaxed. every day, he would accompany hu tian, su ningjing, xia bing, xia xue, and the others for walks and meals. at night, he would work hard and wait quietly for the life in kailin¡¯s stomach to come. in the blink of an eye, another 100 years passed. even though lin fan didn¡¯t spend any time to cultivate. however, his cultivation had increased once again and reached the late-stage sacred lord realm. even if lin fan did not use his curse arts, he was invincible in this world. on this day, lin fan felt the life force in kailin¡¯s stomach. with nothing to do, he focused on interpersonal relationships. then, he used soul communication on ma zheng. after all, he was still his subordinate. after so many years, he did not care at all. it really did not make sense. ¡­. water god palace. ma zhenggang had just returned to his residence after attending a high-level meeting with the elders. at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his mind. ¡°ma zheng!¡± it was master! ma zheng¡¯s heart raced as he hurriedly knelt on the ground and spoke in an extremely respectful and excited voice. ¡°master!¡± ¡°has anything happened recently?¡± lin fan asked. ¡°the biggest thing recently is the demon race¡¯s holy lord tai ba and the ocean holy lord bo han. he has suffered a powerful curse and died one after another. he also stated that the person who cursed him was the buddha world¡¯s holy lord, pu guo¡­¡± when he said this, he became very careful. according to ma zheng¡¯s initial guess, lin fan had an extremely powerful curse. he was the mastermind behind all the curses and murders. however, after tai ba and bo han were cursed to death, ma zheng started to doubt his previous guess. it was no wonder that he would be like this. yes, lin fan was indeed very strong. however, there was a limit, right? how could he curse and kill two holy masters? although he had this suspicion. however, ma zheng¡¯s respectful attitude towards lin fan didn¡¯t change. ¡°later on, the divine world, the demon world, the other world, and many other major worlds joined forces to attack the buddha world and completely shattered it. as for the buddha lord, bodhi fruit, he escaped¡­¡± when lin fan heard that, he was stunned. so, he had a scapegoat for killing the holy lord? no wonder no one had come looking for him. lin fan let out a weird smile. his tone was calm as he said,¡±¡±alright, i understand.¡± ¡°how¡¯s your cultivation?¡±¡± ¡°thanks to master, my current cultivation level has reached domain lord level 9.¡±ma zheng hurriedly said. lin fan nodded,¡± domain lord level 9, barely not bad. however, it¡¯s still a little weak. how about this, i¡¯ll help you raise your cultivation.¡±¡± as soon as he finished speaking, lin fan waved his hand. a spatial rift suddenly appeared above ma zheng¡¯s head. following that, energy as rich as spring water surged into ma zheng¡¯s body. ma zheng only felt his entire body warm up. he was so comfortable that he wanted to cry out. ¡°pow!¡± in just a moment, a soft sound came from ma zheng¡¯s body. he, had actually broken through to the universe level! even so, the energy in the spatial rift did not disappear and continued to flow into ma zheng¡¯s body. it was only when his cultivation reached universe level 2 that the crack slowly closed. in such a short period of time, he actually had such a breakthrough! ma zheng directly prostrated on the ground and shouted excitedly,¡±thank you, master! thank you, master!¡± lin fan said,¡± continue working hard.¡± after saying that, he ended the soul communication. ¡°yes!¡± ma zheng hurriedly replied. his attitude towards lin fan became even more respectful. initially, ma zheng was still suspecting if lin fan was the mastermind behind the curse. now, he believed it again. and lin fan was the mastermind behind the curse. he had cursed tai ba and holy lord bo han to death. how strong was he? thinking of this, ma zheng knelt on the ground again and said seriously,¡±greetings, master!¡± Chapter 763 - 763 Another Holy Lord; Hatred From Mythological Characters! 763 another holy lord; hatred from mythological characters! following that, lin fan communicated with li ke¡¯s soul and raised his cultivation state to universe level 5. he also imparted the fire attribute cultivation technique of the holy lord level to him. the rapid growth of his cultivation, coupled with his superb talent, made li ke¡¯s position in the fire god palace even more stable. lin fan had only casually done these things. he didn¡¯t take them to heart at all. he continued his leisurely life. ¡­. lin fan was relaxed, but some people were like stray dogs, extremely pitiful. in the distant starry sky, the bodhi fruit had paid a huge price to travel through space several thousand times in a row to arrive at the unknown territory. he took a few deep breaths before recovering some strength. ¡°i finally got rid of him.¡± ¡°but, what exactly is going on?¡± ¡°tai ba and bo han were both cursed to death! cursing them involved huge karma. was he not afraid of karma backlash?¡± the bodhi fruit was the karma dao. just as everyone had expected, he indeed possessed extremely powerful curses. however, it could only slightly affect a holy lord. in fact, the bodhi fruit did not dare to curse casually. this was because the world was fair. once he cursed someone, heaven and earth would double the backlash. to be able to curse and kill two holy lords, and at the same time, be able to withstand the backlash of heaven and earth¡­ who was the other party? just how strong was he? why did he put the blame on her? bodhi guo¡¯s expression changed. then, as if he had thought of something, his pupils constricted slightly. he suddenly raised his head and looked into the endless sky. after hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and soared into the sky. above the 49th heaven. in a snow-white space. a huge golden buddha statue that was comparable to heaven and earth stood in the air. bodhi guo knelt down and said respectfully,¡±greetings, sacred ancestor bodhi.¡±¡± ¡°buzz!¡± the huge golden buddha statue slowly opened its eyes, shooting out endless dazzling golden light. the originally white space seemed to be dyed with a layer of gold under the golden light. ¡°what is it?¡± the golden buddha statue gently opened its mouth and let out a deafening sound. bodhi guo said in panic,¡±divine ancestor, the buddha realm¡­¡± it¡¯s gone.¡± ¡°boom!¡± a terrifying pressure of heaven and earth suddenly descended, directly crushing the bodhi fruit onto the ground and spitting out a large mouthful of golden blood. just his aura alone was enough to injure a holy lord expert until he spat out blood. how powerful! ¡°bodhi fruit, back then, you swore that you would spread the buddha realm throughout the myriad worlds. that was why i allowed you to become the lord of the buddha realm and allowed you to reach the realm of the holy master. hmm?¡± the giant golden buddha said sternly. an even more terrifying aura whizzed down. ¡°puff!¡± the bodhi fruit spat out another mouthful of golden blood. ¡°holy ancestor, please calm down. holy ancestor, please calm down¡­¡± he said in fear. ¡°i was framed¡­¡± ¡°originally, i managed the buddha world very well. this is the power of virtue over the years¡­¡± as soon as he finished speaking, a thick golden dragon of virtue soared into the sky, its voice shaking the nine heavens. when the giant golden buddha saw this, its aura eased slightly. thus, bodhi guo seized the opportunity to speak.¡± the lord of the monster race, tai ba, and the lord of the ocean, bo han, were cursed to death one after another. then, everyone said that it was my doing. especially bo han. before he was cursed to death, he even launched a self-destruction attack on my buddha realm. at the same time, he cursed me at the cost of his life.¡± ¡°i¡¯m already cursed.¡± ¡°i suspect that there might be a saint king behind this. the other party wants to completely destroy our buddha realm!¡± upon hearing this, the giant golden buddha slowly raised its mountain-like fingers and quickly pinched them. after a while, he put down his finger. he was actually unable to calculate the culprit of the lower realm. it must be understood that subhuti was also a karmic dao user. his divination skills were definitely top-notch among the saint kings. in the end, even he could not figure out the culprit. this could explain many problems. subhuti began to analyze the situation in his heart. who could possibly have done such a thing? a few names appeared in his mind. he was furious. as far as subhuti was concerned, this was a provocation, a declaration of war! unforgivable! a moment later, subhuti finally spoke.¡± ¡°take this treasure and you won¡¯t be afraid of any holy master. after that, you will descend to the lower realm with pu xin and rebuild the buddha realm!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he casually waved his hand, and a golden pearl appeared in front of the bodhi fruit. the bodhi fruit sensed the tyrannical power contained within the golden pearl and said excitedly,¡±thank you, divine ancestor!¡± then, a short and thin middle-aged man appeared beside him. his body was suffused with holy light. this was the pu xin that subhuti had spoken of. another sacred lord! ¡°go!¡± subhuti said. ¡°yes, divine ancestor!¡± pu guo and pu xin said in unison. ¡­. thus, the bodhi fruit that had disappeared for a long time reappeared in the 33rd layer of heaven. as soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of many holy lords. presently, all the saint sovereigns had already regarded pu guo as someone they must kill. since he had to kill them, he had to kill them as soon as possible. otherwise, it would be too late for regrets! in the past, bodhi guo would always try to escape as soon as possible when he was surrounded. now, he was calmly waiting at his original spot. ¡°boom!¡± ¡°boom!¡± the tyrannical attack landed on bodhi guo¡¯s body, but it did not cause any effect on him. that was because a golden protective barrier had appeared on the surface of the bodhi fruit, blocking all attacks. seeing this, the corners of pu guo¡¯s mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile. then, he put his palms together and said, amitabha.¡± ¡°patrons, i have something to say!¡± ¡°…d!¡± at the same time, pu xin who was beside him also opened her mouth and said,¡±¡±…d!¡± the two golden swastikas were like two suns as they crushed toward the two people at the front. ¡°what?¡± the holy masters were shocked. ¡°another holy master!¡± they still had a sliver of confidence in killing a sacred lord. however, it was impossible to kill two sacred lords. moreover, the bodhi fruit had displayed an extremely powerful defensive equipment earlier¡­ under such circumstances, wanting to surround and kill him was simply a fantasy. thus, a sacred master said,¡± daoist bodhi fruit, perhaps there¡¯s a misunderstanding.¡± bodhi guo responded with a smile. the crisis was instantly resolved. ¡­. on the other hand. earth, coiling dragon villa. as usual, lin fan accompanied hu tian, su ningjing, xia bing, xia xue, and the others to stroll in the garden after eating their fill. he was extremely relaxed and at ease. a flock of birds flew over their heads, and everyone smiled when they saw it. at this moment, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! [bodhi has generated hatred towards you. current hatred points: 2 stars.]] when lin fan heard this, his brows twitched. subhuti? this was the first name that appeared in his mind. however, it was a name that resounded in his ears like thunder. this was because this name often appeared in myths and legends on earth. as for him¡­it actually existed? moreover, he even generated hatred points towards him? Chapter 764 - 764 Change; Devour! 764 change; devour! lin fan quickly turned his attention to the system panel. [subhuti: cultivation base unknown. because you cursed tai ba and bo han to death, and then shifted the blame to pu guo, from then on, hatred was generated towards you. current hatred points: 2 stars.] seeing this¡­ lin fan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. cultivation unknown! as expected of a character from a fairy tale. so, the holy master wasn¡¯t the cultivator with the highest cultivation? lin fan¡¯s heart skipped a beat,¡¯does subhuti know that i¡¯m the one who did this?¡± [requires 1 billion spirit stones. do you want to ask?] one billion spiritual stones! to many people, this was an astronomical figure. however, to lin fan, it was nothing. this was because after several hundred years of accumulation, his spirit stones, immortal crystals, and even saint crystals had become extremely abundant. one billion spirit stones was just a drop in the ocean for lin fan. therefore, lin fan did not hesitate at all and said,¡±¡±inquire!¡± [subhuti only hates everyone behind the scenes. he doesn¡¯t know that the host is the mastermind.] when lin fan heard that, he heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°if i were to fight subhuti head-on, how long could i last?¡± [requires 1 billion spirit stones. do you wish to inquire?] ¡°yes, sir!¡± lin fan said. [1 year.] lin fan was even more flustered. one year, he could only resist the bodhi fruit for one year. this was simply too terrifying. danger! a huge sense of danger surged up like a tide. hu tian also noticed the change in lin fan and couldn¡¯t help but ask,¡±¡± lin fan, what¡¯s wrong?¡± lin fan said,¡± next, i might need to go into seclusion for a period of time. you guys can take a look around first.¡±¡± time waits for no man. after saying that, lin fan¡¯s body flashed and he flew straight into the cultivation room. he quickly entered his cultivation state. only hu tian, su ningjing, xia bing, xia xue, and the others were left looking at each other. not long after, they also began to cultivate. even though lin fan didn¡¯t say much. however, they knew that something must have happened. the only thing they could do was to keep up with lin fan. this way, when something happened, he could lend lin fan a helping hand. at the very least, he couldn¡¯t be a burden. ¡­. cultivation was timeless. in the blink of an eye, 50 years had passed. during these 50 years, the various universes were very peaceful and quiet. however, those who were observant could vaguely smell something unusual from it. it was like the calm before the storm. ¡°boom!¡± ¡°boom!¡± on this day, loud noises suddenly sounded on many planets. then, a huge lotus flower appeared in the air. then, everyone on the planet sat cross-legged and chanted the name of buddha. not long after, black demonic qi appeared on many planets. all the living beings became extremely crazy and turned into demons. some planets were suddenly covered by seawater, and countless creatures grew fish scales and fish tails. there were also some planets that had flames on the surface, turning into fireballs. ¡­. the structure of the universe was rapidly changing. the weak forces ¡®territories were constantly decreasing or even completely disappearing. the big fish ate the small fish, and the small fish ate the shrimp. as one of the small fish, the longhu sect was in a predicament like many small forces. ¡°buddha, demon, fire, sea, and other worlds are all expanding crazily.¡± ¡°the buddha realm has already expressed their interest in us a while ago.¡± ¡°it¡¯s not just the buddha realm. the demon realm, fire realm, and ocean realm have long sent people over.¡± ¡°sigh¡­¡± sighs rose and fell in the longhu sect. qin qiuliang clenched his fists, his heart filled with anger. he grew up in the dragon gate sect and wanted to become a powerhouse so that he could lead the dragon tiger sect to greater heights. in the end, he had not become strong enough. now, the dragon tiger sect was threatened by many forces. moreover, this was the second time! the first attack came from the ocean universe. now, it was being devoured by many worlds. these¡­ he actually couldn¡¯t stop it. if only he could be stronger¡­ if only he could be like lin fan¡­ then, the dragon tiger sect would definitely not be like this. as qin qiuliang thought of this, the blood in his body began to boil violently. he did not notice that the jade pendant hanging around his neck had turned red and bright. then, a powerful suction force was produced, directly sucking him into an unknown space. ten years later, qin qiuliang finally appeared in the longhu sect. a dark-skinned middle-aged man appeared beside him. their bodies were all filled with incomparably powerful auras. qin qiuliang pulled a man who was walking in a hurry and said,¡±¡±hu tao!¡± the man named hu tao paused in his steps. when he saw who it was, he replied,¡±qiu liang? why are you still here?¡± ten years ago, qin qiuliang¡¯s sudden disappearance did not attract too much attention. because, in the eyes of cultivators, 10 years was just the blink of an eye. qin qiuliang didn¡¯t explain anything and said,¡±¡±how is the sect? did something happen?¡± ¡°someone from the ocean world has come. they said that if we don¡¯t surrender today, the dragon tiger sect will disappear completely.¡±hu tao sighed.¡± right now, the sect master and elders are about to hold a disciple meeting.¡± when qin qiuliang heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice,¡±¡±if you don¡¯t surrender, you want the dragon tiger sect to disappear? what an arrogant tone!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he and the dark-skinned man beside him disappeared together. hu tao called out twice, but there was no response. he could only mutter to himself, where has qiu liang been during this period of time? there seems to be a strong sense of oppression on his body¡­¡± ¡°also, who is the person beside him? i don¡¯t think i¡¯ve seen him before.¡± ¡­. qin qiuliang was completely unaware of hu tao¡¯s doubts. if he knew, he wouldn¡¯t have explained anything. of course, he would not tell them that he had entered the ancient desolate space for the past 10 years. one day there was equivalent to 100 years in the outside world. in other words, he had stayed in the ancient desolate space for 360,000 years! the ancient desolate space contained extremely pure energy and countless opportunities. now, qin qiuliang¡¯s cultivation had already stepped into the holy lord realm. moreover, he was an expert among the holy lords and had become a legendary great existence in this universe. not only him, but the dark-skinned man beside him was also a holy lord! two sacred lords could solve many problems. ¡°whoosh!¡± in the next moment, qin qiuliang and the dark-skinned man appeared at the disciples ¡®meeting together. their appearance did not attract too much attention. it was also at this moment that the old sect master, who was sitting at the top, slowly opened his mouth. ¡°the longhu sect has been established for a million years. it has been glorious, depressed, and fallen¡­¡± his pale eyes scanned the scene, and his voice was hoarse and reluctant. Chapter 765 - 765 Changes in the Wind and Cloud; Increase in Strength! 765 changes in the wind and cloud; increase in strength! he, li tianyao, had sacrificed his entire life for the dragon tiger sect. in his heart, the longhu sect was more important than his own life. however, perhaps it would not be long before the longhu sect ceased to exist. this was worse than killing him. however, he had no choice. that was because he did not want the disciples of the longhu sect to suffer more than death. at this moment, a blue energy flew over from afar and condensed into a large group of men and women with fish heads and human bodies. they¡­ they were people from the sea world. ¡°sect master li, have you finished your instructions?¡± asked the shark-headed man. ¡°then, from now on, the dragon tiger sect belongs to my ocean world!¡± hundreds of years ago, the people of the sea world had such an experience. now that he was doing it, it could be said that he was familiar with it. li tianyao opened his mouth, but it could only turn into a silent sigh. at this moment, a loud voice rang out among the disciples. ¡°belong to the ocean universe? what an arrogant tone!¡± ¡°who is it?¡± the shark-headed man looked in the direction of the voice and shouted. ¡°whoosh!¡± an invisible force shot out and instantly sent the shark-headed man flying. ¡°how dare you!¡± ¡°who is it?¡± a series of roars resounded throughout the location of the ocean universe world. what responded to them was a terrifying aura that was as vast as a mountain. ¡°boom!¡± ¡°boom!¡± ¡°boom!¡± the fish heads fell to the ground like radishes, unable to move their fingers. this scene shocked everyone from the dragon tiger sect. their mouths were wide open, and their faces were filled with disbelief. then, everyone looked at the person who had spoken earlier. it was a man wearing a green robe with a long sword hanging from his waist. ¡°qiu liang?¡± li tianyao said in an uncertain tone. li tianyao was qin qiuliang¡¯s master and knew him very well. it was precisely because of this that he was even more uncertain. because li tianyao knew that qin qiuliang had good talent. his cultivation had already reached the middle level of the domain lord. but what was the situation now? among the people in the ocean universe, there was no lack of universe level, king level and even emperor level warriors. they¡­ all of them were suppressed by qin qiuliang¡¯s words? this¡­ am i dreaming? ¡°master,¡± said qin qiuliang. li tianyao was still a little uncertain.¡±¡±your cultivation¡­¡± ¡°master, i had some fortuitous encounters. in short, from now on, our dragon tiger sect will no longer be afraid of any force!¡±qin qiuliang said. his tone was extremely serious. this was the confidence gained from the accumulation of more than 300,000 years in the ancient desolate world. of course, it was not just confidence. his strength was indeed enough to protect the dragon tiger sect. even though a sacred lord had descended to the lower realm of the ocean universe. ¡­. on the other hand. fire god palace. a man who was burning like the sun flew above the hall. everyone from fire god palace knelt on the ground and said,¡±¡±greetings, holy lord zhu sen.¡± holy master! that¡¯s right! this was a sacred lord. after zhu yan¡¯s death, the fire god palace fell into a period of depression. however, they did not expect that the fire god palace still had a sacred master in the higher sky! this caused the fire god palace, which was at its lowest point, to rise up rapidly. its influence had surpassed zhu yan¡¯s era in one fell swoop. zhu sen, who was flying in the air, nodded slowly. then, he said to li ke,¡±¡±come with me.¡± zhu sen acknowledged li ke and gave him a lot of treasures and techniques. today, he was even more prepared to head to the mystic realm. li ke learned from zhu sen that this secret realm had the opportunity to become a holy lord. he sat in the room and clenched his fists slightly. he felt the rapidly increasing strength in his body and muttered in his heart,¡±master, i¡¯ve become stronger again. perhaps i can help you in the future.¡± even though li ke had obtained many benefits from zhu sen. however, his heart was still with lin fan. ¡­. time flowed like water. in the blink of an eye, another 50 years passed. for the past 100 years, lin fan had been training hard. there was a limit to the growth of his cultivation. he had reached a critical point, the peak of sacred lord. however, his strength had increased substantially. right now, lin fan had four saint king grade skills and two saint king grade weapons. in addition, earth had a defensive formation that could reach the level of a saint king. ¡°system, how long can i resist bodhi?¡±lin fan asked. [requires 1 billion spirit stones. do you wish to inquire?] lin fan said,¡± didn¡¯t i use it last time?¡±¡± however, the system did not respond. thus, lin fan could only say,¡± consume, consume.¡±¡± [100 years.] when lin fan heard that, he heaved a sigh of relief. then, he focused his attention on the system interface. [host: lin fan] [cultivation: peak holy lord] [skills: sword 81 (saint king level), curse technique (saint king level), sword nurturing technique (saint king level), cosmos sword technique (holy lord level)¡­] [equipment: star meteorite sword (sacred lord-grade), flame armor (sacred lord-grade), heavenly soul pearl (saint king-grade), true dragon sword (saint king-grade)¡­] [laws: time (intermediate), space (advanced), metal (advanced), wood (advanced), water (advanced), fire (advanced), earth (advanced), life (advanced), death (advanced), yin (advanced), yang (advanced), wind (advanced)¡­] [character relationship: lin tao, daddy, favorability: 10 stars; [dai weixue: mom, favorability rating of 10 stars.] lin xiaoyao, sister, favorability: 10 stars; xia xue: dao companion, favorability 10 stars; [xia bing: dao companion, favorability: 10 stars¡­] lin fan could no longer improve his skills. his gaze landed on the time law. currently, he only had time law at middle-grade. the rest had all reached high-grade. some laws were comprehended by oneself. some of them relied on magical gems to level up. however, so far, there were no gems that could upgrade the time law. it seemed to be a little special. lin fan had a feeling that if he could raise his time law to the advanced level, he might be able to take a huge step forward. he thought for a moment and directly entered the river of time. lin fan took a step forward and a thick river appeared in front of him. he walked forward quickly. in his field of vision, many scenes of the past appeared on both sides. it was like a movie that made people reminisce. there were scenes of him not being able to afford food when he was young, scenes of him being late for school, scenes of him fighting with others¡­ just as lin fan was moving forward, the path ahead of him suddenly rippled. then, a scholarly man in a long robe appeared. he looked around and soon, his gaze landed on lin fan. however, the man didn¡¯t pay too much attention to it. he walked into the distance. Chapter 766 - 766 Everyones Harvest; The World Annihilating Golden Lotus! 766 everyone¡¯s harvest; the world annihilating golden lotus! the man in the long robe didn¡¯t care about lin fan at all. after all, although time laws were rare. however, it wasn¡¯t like there weren¡¯t any. however, as he continued to advance, a hint of surprise gradually appeared on the long-robed man¡¯s originally calm face. because he realized that the young man behind him had been following him all along. moreover, his expression was extremely relaxed. he looked like he was taking a walk in the forest. one had to know¡­ now, they were already 10,000 meters away from the great dao of time! such talent was simply¡­rare! the long-robed man was surprised as he continued to move forward. when he reached 20,000 meters, he found that the young man behind him was still the same. finally, he couldn¡¯t help but stop and say,¡±¡±dao youhao.¡± in fact, when the long robed man noticed lin fan. lin fan was also paying attention to him. at this moment, when he heard the other party¡¯s greeting, he also said,¡±dao youhao.¡± ¡°my name is tao qian. may i know who you are?¡± the long-robed man smiled.¡± tao qian! he was the one who left the door on earth. ¡°lin fan.¡± lin fan said. tao qian said,¡± it¡¯s been a long time since i¡¯ve met someone who walked so far in the dao of time. lin fan, shall we go together?¡± and discuss it?¡± ¡°alright.¡± lin fan said. thus, the two of them chatted as they walked. the two of them had a deep understanding of the great path of time and had many common topics. the two of them talked about their understanding of time, their methods, and their insights. as they chatted, the two of them made progress in the passage of time. before they knew it, they had arrived at the 300,000-meter mark. at this moment, lin fan and tao qian both felt the pressure. their bodies were trembling slightly. they did not force their way forward. instead, they looked at each other and smiled. ¡°fellow daoist, see you next time!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, the two of them turned into streams of light and disappeared. then, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind.

[tao qian has a favorable impression of you. current favorable impression rating: 4 stars.]] when lin fan heard this, he muttered,¡± to think that there would be someone who could walk so far on the path of the time laws.¡±¡± whether it was the mythical stories of his childhood or the fact that the system had yet to produce a gemstone that could allow the temporal law to reach a high level, all of them showed how powerful and special the temporal law was. and tao qian was able to go so far¡­it was enough to prove that he was extraordinary. lin fan said,¡± i just met a random person and he could go so far. i have to work harder.¡±¡± and so, lin fan entered a deeper state of cultivation. ¡­. deep in the universe. tao qian slowly opened his eyes.¡± his tone was filled with joy. it was the feeling of meeting a confidant. ¡°i¡¯ve gained a lot this time. i¡¯ll digest it first. next time, i¡¯ll discuss it properly.¡± ¡­. on the other hand, the major factions were devouring the smaller factions, and the speed at which they occupied territory was increasing. gradually, friction appeared between the major factions and a battle erupted. sea world, demon world, fire god palace¡­ in just a hundred years, countless planets had turned into dust and countless members of factions had become corpses. it was unknown when it started, but the major factions started to fight for real. the king and emperor levels all entered the battlefield. later on, the holy lord level also entered the battlefield. planets exploded, star fields were destroyed, and even a universe was reduced to nothingness. the people were plunged into misery and misery. especially the buddha realm. yes, it was! especially the buddha realm. even though the bodhi fruit possessed a powerful defensive pearl. even though the buddha realm had two holy lords, pu guo and pu xin. it was also because of this that they showed the strongest attitude. guns always liked to shoot the bird that stuck out. in addition, some large factions, such as the fire god palace, the ocean world, and the demon realm, had enmity with the buddha realm. therefore, on that day, nearly 10 holy lords joined forces and launched a terrifying attack on the buddha realm. half of the buddha realm was destroyed, the bodhi heart was dead, and the bodhi fruit fled in panic. the power that the buddha realm had just re-established over a hundred years ago was destroyed again. the other forces seized the time to divide it up. it was this action that caused subhuti to fly into a rage from the distant 49th heavenly layer. ¡°if that¡¯s the case, there¡¯s no need for the world to exist!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, subhuti waved his hand. a giant golden lotus that blotted out the sky slowly descended. ¡°rumble!¡± wherever it passed, space collapsed and planets shattered. soon, shocked cries came from the void. ¡°the world-destroying golden lotus?¡± ¡°subhuti, have you gone mad?¡± ¡°stop!¡± subhuti laughed coldly. no! i¡¯m doing this for the good of this world. the world has completely decayed, and it¡¯s time for it to be reborn.¡± ¡°subhuti, aren¡¯t you afraid that you¡¯ll be bound by karma by doing this? that¡¯s countless living beings and universes!¡± a furious roar came from the void. ¡°as the saying goes, if i don¡¯t enter hell, who will? amitabha.¡± then, several tall figures appeared on the 49th heaven. just as they were about to approach¡­ ¡°buzz!¡± an enormous golden barrier spread out with subhuti at the center, blocking out all of them. then, subhuti pressed his palms together and said,¡± amitabha. i¡¯m going to transcend my karma. please don¡¯t disturb me.¡±¡± then, mysterious runes spread out around the golden light barrier, making it impossible for the figures to see the situation inside the golden barrier. the faces of the figures changed. in the end, they let out a muffled groan and scattered in all directions. ¡­. it was at this moment that lin fan, who was in the midst of his cultivation, suddenly heard a crisp notification in his mind. [ding! the appearance of the world-destroying golden lotus has been detected. 1. absorb the world-destroying golden lotus. you will obtain the power of destruction, 10 saint king crystals, and 5 great dao fragments. 2. if you don¡¯t care, you will receive 10 saint king crystals and 5 great dao fragments.] lin fan was stunned. ¡°the world-destroying golden lotus?¡± what¡¯s that?¡± [world-destroying golden lotus: a terrifying magic treasure that can destroy all universes and restart them.] when lin fan heard that, his pupils constricted,¡±¡±then wouldn¡¯t our earth be destroyed as well?¡± [requires 10 billion spirit stones. do you want to ask?] ¡°inquire!¡± lin fan said hurriedly. [other than the coiling dragon villa, earth will suffer serious damage.] serious injury? what else could he say? he had to stop it! lin fan said,¡± how should i stop it?¡±¡± [you can absorb it when you approach the world-destroying golden lotus.] that simple? lin fan was stunned. ¡°will my life be in danger?¡± [no.] since that was the case, was there still a need to consider? lin fan asked,¡± where is the world destroying golden lotus?¡± [you need to find it yourself.] when lin fan heard that, he pondered for a moment before turning his attention to ma zheng. then, he used soul communication on ma zheng. p.s. welcome to my final book, super red envelope immortals. Chapter 767 - 767 The Power of Destruction; Harvest! 767 the power of destruction; harvest! water god palace. ma zheng sat cross-legged and tried his best to enter a state of cultivation. however, his expression was extremely flustered and he was unable to meditate. too many things had happened during this period of time, filling his heart with fear and unease. ¡°ma zheng!¡± at this moment, a deep voice sounded in his mind. ma zheng was stunned. then, his face revealed an unconcealable excitement. he hurriedly knelt on the ground respectfully and said,¡±master!¡± when people were in danger, they usually liked to look for someone to rely on. and lin fan was undoubtedly ma zheng¡¯s greatest support. lin fan asked,¡± do you know anything about the world-destroying golden lotus?¡± when ma zheng heard this, his face turned slightly pale. he had heard of it before! in fact, it was because he had heard of the world-destroying golden lotus that he had been so flustered recently. it was a terrifying magical treasure that could destroy the world, destroy all the universes, and make all living beings disappear. during this period of time, ma zheng felt like a prisoner waiting for the death penalty. he was in extreme despair. ¡°i know about the world-destroying golden lotus. it is currently in the 29th heaven and is constantly descending. however, i don¡¯t know when it will destroy the entire world.¡±ma zheng said in a trembling voice. ¡°alright, i understand.¡± lin fan said.¡± after saying that, he directly ended the soul communication. then, lin fan scanned hu tian, qiu ziqian, xia bing, xia xue and the rest with his consciousness and took a step forward. ¡°whoosh!¡± in the next moment, he appeared in the 29th heaven. this was a vast starry sky. there were many people standing in the sky. their bodies were filled with a tyrannical aura. they looked up at the starry sky with extremely solemn expressions and occasionally let out a discussion. ¡°what exactly is that golden lotus?¡± ¡°the aura is too terrifying.¡± ¡°it contains endless energy.¡± ¡°he¡¯s here!¡± ¡­. ¡°whoosh!¡± in an instant, the entire world turned golden. everyone was blinded at this moment. there was only a golden lotus floating in the air. this¡­ it was the world-destroying golden lotus. ¡°rumble!¡± wherever the golden lotus passed, space shattered and planets exploded. everything turned into nothingness. it was extremely terrifying. an extreme fear surged into everyone¡¯s hearts like a tidal wave. at this moment, a tall and handsome figure stepped under the golden lotus. he¡­ it was lin fan. he saw¡­ lin fan raised his hand slowly. ¡°whoosh!¡± the golden lotus, which was originally powerful enough to destroy the entire world, suddenly shrank. in the end, it turned into a golden light and entered lin fan¡¯s body. seeing this¡­ lin fan took another step forward and disappeared from the spot. and the crisis of the apocalypse was over. the world returned to normal. the people floating in the air gasped for breath. when they saw the golden lotus disappear, they looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. ¡­. above the 49th heaven. subhuti, who had been sitting quietly in the lotus position, suddenly opened his eyes. his hands kept fiddling with it, and his eyes were wide open as he cried out in horror,¡±the world-destroying golden lotus actually cut off all contact with me and completely disappeared!¡± ¡°how is this possible!¡± ¡°whoosh!¡± subhuti suddenly rose to his feet. he had not left the 49th layer of heaven for tens of thousands of years, but now, it was rare for him to leave. in just a moment, he had arrived at the 29th heaven. subhuti stared at the void that had been destroyed by the world-destroying golden lotus. the world-destroying golden lotus was nowhere to be seen, and his face was extremely ugly to behold. ¡­. the news of the disappearance of the world-destroying golden lotus swept across the world like a storm. countless people rejoiced, and some even cried tears of joy. this was normal. after all, he had survived a calamity. water god palace. when ma zheng learned that the world annihilating golden lotus had disappeared, he was stunned. happiness, shock, and other emotions instantly filled his entire body. he was happy because he did not have to die. was it because he had told lin fan about the golden lotus of annihilation? was the crisis of the golden lotus of annihilation resolved? could it be¡­was this lin fan¡¯s doing? the more he thought about it, the more shocked ma zheng became. at the same time, lin fan became even more majestic and majestic in his heart. ¡­. at this moment, lin fan had already returned to earth. as soon as he sat down, a crisp notification sounded in his mind. [ding! bodhi¡¯s hatred towards you has increased to 6 stars.] lin fan raised his brows. 6 stars! good heavens, was he going to fight to the death with him? although he was a legendary figure, his path had been narrowed! [ding! ma zheng¡¯s favorability towards you has increased to 10 stars.] 10 stars of favorability? lin fan¡¯s face revealed a strange look. up until now, only his dao partners and relatives had such a high affinity for him. now, ma zheng was also 10 stars? perhaps he should be rewarded? at the thought of this, lin fan used his soul connection with ma zheng once more. ¡°master!¡± when ma zheng heard lin fan¡¯s voice, he quickly crawled on the ground. lin fan said,¡± you¡¯ve been cultivating water attribute skills, right?¡±¡± ¡°yes, master.¡± ma zheng said. in the past, he had a certain talent for the water attribute. however, it wasn¡¯t his main cultivation. after that, he joined the raincloud altar and the water god palace. gradually, it changed to his main cultivation. lin fan said,¡± alright, i¡¯ll teach you a skill.¡±¡± hence, lin fan passed on a holy lord level skill that he had obtained from the system to ma zheng. ma zheng had spent a long time before he finally grasped a little of it. however, even so, it still allowed his cultivation to increase by a large margin. in addition, ma zheng had a very real feeling that as long as he continued to cultivate according to the cultivation technique, his future would definitely be limitless! he had easily given him such a cultivation technique. the more ma zheng thought about it, the more he felt that lin fan was the one who had dealt with the world-destroying golden lotus. therefore, ma zheng kowtowed to the ground again and said excitedly,¡±thank you, master, for your divine technique!¡± lin fan nodded in satisfaction,¡± cultivate well.¡±¡± after saying that, he ended the soul communication. following that, lin fan placed his attention on a golden lotus flower floating within his body. ¡°tsk!¡± at this moment, the golden lotus flower quickly melted and turned into streaks of golden light in his body. these golden lights quickly gathered and turned into a dazzling golden pearl. it was at this moment that lin fan heard another notification in his mind. [ding! you have completed the mission. absorb the world destroying golden lotus and obtain the power of destruction. you have obtained 10 saint king crystals and 5 great dao fragments.] [power of destruction: possesses the special power to destroy the world once.] when lin fan heard this, his heart skipped a beat. destroy the world¡­such power was simply terrifying. then, he looked at the saint king crystal that contained endless pure energy and the great dao fragment that was filled with a special aura, and a faint smile appeared on his face. the harvest this time was not bad. Chapter 768 - 768 Orb; Search! 768 orb; search! not bad? not bad? the power of destruction, the saint king crystal, the great dao fragment¡­which item wasn¡¯t a supreme treasure? if it was someone else, they would definitely be overjoyed. lin fan took another look at the golden pearl that had been fused with the world-destroying golden lotus within his body before entering a state of cultivation. he wanted to make a breakthrough as quickly as possible, so that he could completely escape the danger that subhuti might face. however, hard work didn¡¯t always lead to results. especially when his cultivation reached a certain peak. this situation was the most obvious. in the blink of an eye, 50 years had passed. in these 50 years, lin fan¡¯s cultivation state had indeed improved. however, there were no signs of a breakthrough. lin fan could not help but feel a little helpless. at this moment, a crisp notification rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. [ding! congratulations, you have possessed the advanced system for 500 years. you have obtained the green lotus pearl x1, the great dao fragment x5, the saint king spiritual crystal x10, and the saint king cultivation technique upgrade gem x1.] when lin fan heard this, he could not help but feel a little disappointed. it had been 500 years? after such a long time, he still hadn¡¯t become the strongest. in fact, he hadn¡¯t even reached the highest level. what a failure! the strongest? the highest level? too much of a failure? if a holy lord heard this, who knew what kind of expression he would have. 500 years? wasn¡¯t that just time for a nap? just this¡­he still wanted to become the strongest? right now, lin fan could be said to be the number one holy master. in the end, he still failed? how could the other holy masters live? after a while, lin fan finally shifted his attention to the green lotus pearl. [green lotus pearl: a mysterious pearl that comes from the same vein as the golden lotus pearl that the host has. after gathering seven pearls, you will obtain incomparably powerful and mysterious power, as well as unexpected changes.] 7 orbs? why did it look like a dragon pearl? now that he had two of them, could he summon a divine dragon with seven of them? lin fan could not help but ponder. now that he did not have a good way to increase his cultivation, perhaps he could try to collect it? thinking of this, lin fan said,¡± system, can i find out where the remaining 5 orbs are?¡± [after spending 100 billion spirit stones, the location of the pearl can be detected within 5,000 kilometers. do you want to use it?] 100 billion spiritual stones? this was even more than the total amount of spirit stones that lin fan had used up so far. however, the more this was the case, the more it showed how extraordinary the orb was. hence, lin fan hesitated for a moment before replying,¡±yes!¡± ¡°whoosh!¡± instantly, the spirit stones hidden in the inner space, which formed countless mountains, turned into streams of light and disappeared without a trace. at the same time, lin fan¡¯s mind seemed to have gained some sort of enlightenment. among them, there were two spots of light that flickered slightly around his body. this was obviously the pearl. as for the other pearls, they were clearly not within the range of ten thousand miles. then, lin fan turned his attention to li ke and used soul communication with him. ¡­. fire god palace. a golden mark that looked like a volcano appeared on li ke¡¯s forehead. his entire body was filled with a tyrannical aura. ¡°li ke!¡± li ke, who was sitting in the main seat and meditating, suddenly changed his expression. he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said,¡±master!¡± even though li ke was already the fire god palace¡¯s palace master and his cultivation had been forcefully raised to the imperial level. even though he had immense power now. however, he still had the highest respect for lin fan. ¡± i¡¯m looking for these 5 orbs. keep an eye out.¡± lin fan said. as soon as he finished speaking, he sent over the forms and characteristics of the five pearls. at the same time, he also taught li ke a way to contact lin fan. this was the reverse communication method that lin fan had obtained from the system a hundred years ago. ¡°yes, sir!¡± li ke said excitedly. excited? that¡¯s right! excitement! to li ke, it was an honor to be able to work for lin fan! it was a great honor! furthermore, lin fan had even taught him the way to contact him! this was too delightful! then, lin fan communicated with ma zheng¡¯s soul and repeated the same words. ¡°thump! thump!¡± at this moment, there was a dull knock on the door. lin fan looked up. it was little rock standing outside the door. his expression was a little nervous. lin fan wasn¡¯t too bothered by this. he waved his hand and the door opened. ¡°yes, master!¡± little rock bent his back and slowly walked in. ¡°what is it?¡± lin fan asked. ¡°master¡­ master, many of the geniuses on earth have reached the planetary state and have the ability to cross the void. if they were to stay on earth, it might be a waste of their talents. ¡°therefore, i was thinking, why don¡¯t we let them go out and make a living? at the same time, we can spread the reputation of our coiling dragon villa?¡± when little rock said this, he stuttered from time to time. obviously, he was really nervous. when lin fan heard that, he hesitated for a moment before saying,¡± alright, you can leave.¡± ¡°also, ask them to help me find the five orbs after we get out.¡± after saying that, lin fan sent the characteristics and shapes of the five orbs into little rock¡¯s mind. when little rock heard this, he was so happy that he almost jumped up. agreed, master agreed! he took a few deep breaths before recovering. after leaving the room, zheng cong, song wenxuan, and riemann quickly surrounded him. ¡°big brother, what did master say?¡± ¡°big brother, did master agree?¡± ¡°big brother¡­¡± even though zheng cong, song wenxuan, and riemann had been calling little rock ¡®big brother¡¯. however, every time little rock heard the word ¡®big brother¡¯, he could not help but smile. ¡°don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll talk as we walk.¡± little rock cleared his throat. then, he walked forward, followed by zheng cong, song wenxuan, and riemann. however, after walking for a while, little rock still did not speak. this made the three of them extremely anxious. ¡°master has already agreed,¡± little rock looked at them and the corners of his mouth curled up again. zheng cong, song wenxuan, and riemann jumped up. ¡°really?¡± ¡°that¡¯s great!¡± ¡°haha!¡± ¡°not only did he agree, master even gave us a mission to find the orb!¡± said little rock. ¡°can we work for master now?¡± ¡°good!¡± ¡°that¡¯s great!¡± the three of them were excited again. they had the same thoughts as li ke. to be able to work for lin fan was an honor! then, the four of them set off together and quickly gathered all the geniuses on earth. then, he flew into the void. lin fan had taken in the conversation between the little rocks and their reactions. lin fan just smiled and didn¡¯t care too much about it. Chapter 769 - 769 Fire Spirit Mystic Realm; Heavenly Soul Pearl! 769 fire spirit mystic realm; heavenly soul pearl! ten years passed in the blink of an eye. the current fire god palace and water god palace could be said to be quite powerful. they were like two super machines. once they were activated, even a needle in the ocean could detect the relevant information. on this day, lin fan, who was in the midst of his cultivation, suddenly heard a shout in his mind. ¡°master!¡± lin fan sensed it and knew that it was li ke calling him. thus, he initiated soul communication with it. ¡°master, i¡¯ve found some information about the orb,¡± said li ke respectfully. ¡°oh?¡± lin fan¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°according to a star level kid, he saw a red orb in the fire spirit secret realm of fenglai star in the clear spring region of the heavenly wind universe a hundred years ago,¡± li ke said. star level? little guy? in the world of cultivators, the strong were respected. as the fire god palace¡¯s palace master, li ke indeed had the right to address him as such. lin fan said,¡± not bad!¡± although it was only a short compliment, li ke was ecstatic. finally, he had done something for his master and received praise! lin fan asked,¡± li ke, what¡¯s your cultivation level now?¡± ¡°master, i¡¯m now at emperor level 5.¡± li ke hurriedly said. emperor level 5! in just a few hundred years, he had reached the fifth level of the imperial level. this kind of speed could not be said to not be fast! one of the reasons for this was because lin fan had imparted him with a profound cultivation technique. in addition, zhu sen, who was a sacred lord, had given him a lot of help. he had been able to stay in a secret realm where time flowed a thousand times faster than the outside world for a hundred years! lin fan nodded,¡± i will explain the comprehension of the fire attribute skills. listen carefully.¡± ¡°yes, master!¡± li ke said excitedly. this lecture lasted for half a month. every time lin fan explained, li ke was enlightened. this time was no exception. not long ago, li ke had reached a bottleneck. now, it was all clear. li ke had a very real feeling that as long as he absorbed enough energy, perhaps it would not be long before he could break through again! ¡± thank you, master!¡± li ke knelt on the ground and said respectfully. lin fan said,¡± continue working hard.¡± after saying that, he ended the soul communication. lin fan looked at hu tian, su ningjing, xia bing, xia xue, and the others who were cultivating quietly in the coiling dragon villa. he didn¡¯t disturb them. following that, he took a step forward according to the universe map in his memory. ¡°whoosh!¡± with a single step, it was the cang ocean cang tian. in the next moment, lin fan appeared in the void that was extremely far away. ¡°whoosh!¡± stepping out once more, the surrounding meteorites rushed forward. with a slight thought, the meteorites turned into ashes. ¡°whoosh!¡± he took another step forward, and above his head was a scorching star that could melt steel in an instant. ¡­. in the blink of an eye, five days had passed. lin fan finally stopped. in front of him was a planet with clear water and blue sky. it was a rather poetic planet. this¡­ it was fenglai planet. the car sped along the road. in the sky, the flying devices crisscrossed. lin fan guessed that the technology here should be behind earth. lin fan found a restaurant. as he savored the delicacies, he spread out a huge amount of his mental power. instantly, the discussions of countless people and the entire fenglai planet appeared in lin fan¡¯s mind. ¡°i won 10 million!¡± ¡± i¡¯ve finally broken through!¡± ¡°don¡¯t use so much strength. ah, it hurts. slow down, slow down¡­¡± ¡­. countless pieces of information were being filtered through lin fan¡¯s mind. after a while, he heard what he wanted. ¡°have you heard? there was an earthquake on fire spirit mountain yesterday. many rocks rolled down and killed many people.¡± ¡°another earthquake? that¡¯s really not a good place.¡± ¡°who says so! it¡¯s best not to go there in the future.¡± ¡­. ¡°according to my speculation, the fire spirit mystic realm will open soon.¡± ¡°this time, i must gain something!¡± ¡°i heard that someone directly became a star level warrior last time!¡± ¡­. when lin fan heard this, he gathered his mental power and ate some more food before stepping out. ¡°whoosh!¡± in the next moment, he appeared in front of a continuous mountain range. according to the information obtained by his spiritual power, this was the entrance to the fire spirit mystic realm. not too far away, a man dressed in green robes noticed lin fan and called out,¡± fellow daoist, do you want to enter the fire spirit secret realm too?¡± lin fan nodded,¡± not bad.¡± ¡°then i¡¯m afraid you¡¯re a little early. there was a slight earthquake here yesterday, and the spiritual energy didn¡¯t spread too much. according to past experience, it will take at least half a month to open.¡± the green-robed man said. lin fan did a quick calculation and knew that he was right. however, lin fan didn¡¯t want to wait. he smiled,¡± sometimes, there are exceptions.¡± as soon as he finished speaking. ¡°rumble!¡± the continuous mountain peaks suddenly shook violently. in the next moment, the mountain peak in the middle cracked open, revealing a dazzling white crack. surging spiritual energy rolled out from the crack, forming a powerful spiritual energy tide. it blew against the man¡¯s clothes, causing them to rustle. the surrounding trees and flowers kept swaying. lin fan said,¡± look, an exception has appeared, right?¡± after saying that, he turned into a stream of light and flew straight into the fire spirit mystic realm. ¡°fellow daoist, wait for me!¡± the green-robed man was stunned for a moment. as soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly followed. this place¡­it was a dense forest with vines and venomous snakes. lin fan scanned his surroundings. there was no trace of the pearl within ten thousand miles. he understood that the pearl should not be in the secret realm. the green robed man saw that lin fan didn¡¯t move. he said,¡± my name is kaien. may i know who you are?¡± ¡°lin fan.¡± lin fan said. kaien said,¡± fellow daoist lin, i¡¯ve been to the fire spirit secret realm twice. i¡¯m quite familiar with this place. why don¡¯t we explore it together?¡± ¡± don¡¯t worry, i¡¯m only here to find the heavenly soul fruit. i can give you the rest of the treasures.¡± lin fan could tell that kaien wasn¡¯t lying and was extremely sincere. lin fan thought about how he had spent a few days rushing over. now that there was nothing much to do, it was not bad to take a stroll and admire the scenery of the other world. ¡°alright,¡± he nodded. the two of them walked forward. along the way, all the ferocious beasts they encountered were killed by kane. as for the traps that were hidden in the dark, they were all obliterated by lin fan. therefore, this trip to the fire spirit mystic realm could be said to be very easy. and just like what he said, kaien gave all the treasures to lin fan. as time passed, a look of disappointment gradually appeared on kane¡¯s face. that was because he had never found the heavenly soul fruit that he needed. Chapter 770 - 770 Help; Heal! 770 help; heal! to lin fan, these treasures were of no use at all. however, lin fan kept them all. at the same time, he had a better impression of kane. lin fan saw kaien¡¯s anxiety and decided to help him. thus, a massive amount of spiritual energy spread out in all directions again. not long after, he focused his attention on a purple fruit that was suffused with traces of soul energy. under lin fan¡¯s silent guidance, the two of them soon arrived in front of the fruit. ¡°soul fruit!¡± kaien exclaimed in surprise. he hurried forward and plucked the soul fruit. then, he said apologetically,¡± fellow daoist lin, what i need is the heavenly soul fruit. however, this soul fruit might be of some use to me. so, can i take it?¡± after all, he had initially said that he only wanted the heavenly soul fruit. now, he wanted the soul fruit, he went back on his word. this was the fruit that lin fan had guided him over. naturally, he wouldn¡¯t care about it. however, he had thought that this was the heaven soul fruit. who would have thought that it was the soul fruit? ¡°of course, i¡¯ve already taken a lot of things.¡± ¡°thank you,¡± kaien said. the two of them continued to move forward in the mystic realm. along the way, they encountered a few ferocious beast attacks and obtained a few treasures. however, kaien never found the heavenly soul fruit. this made kane¡¯s face filled with disappointment. until¡­ the mystic realm ended. lin fan asked,¡± pardon me for asking. what do you need the heaven soul fruit for?¡± kaien sighed.¡± my wife¡¯s heavenly soul is incomplete. she needs the heavenly soul fruit to recover. otherwise, she might keep fainting.¡± ¡°but now that i have the soul fruit, it might be of some use.¡± as he said this, his gaze became firm. she didn¡¯t know if he was comforting her or if he was really confident. lin fan asked,¡± is the heaven soul damaged? i have some experience in the soul. perhaps i can help you a little.¡± ¡°really? that¡¯s great!¡± kaien said excitedly. kane was obviously very concerned about his wife¡¯s health. after coming out of the secret ground, he brought lin fan and headed towards planet hengtong, which was tens of millions of kilometers away. his wife was resting there. when kaien and lin fan arrived at an elegant manor, a large group of men in black who gave off a ferocious aura surrounded the manor. seeing this¡­ ¡°bastard!¡± kaien shouted. he shot forward like a sharp arrow, killing rows of men in black. ¡°didn¡¯t you go to the fire spirit mystic realm?¡± the black-robed man closest to the door asked in shock. why did you come back so quickly?¡± obviously, kane¡¯s whereabouts had long been known. under normal circumstances, the fire spirit secret realm would only open after a month. in other words, kane would only be able to return after at least a month. however, what they had not expected was that lin fan had opened the fire spirit secret realm ahead of time. ¡°bang!¡± ¡°bang!¡± a dull sound was heard. all the black-robed men present were beheaded. kane seized the time and jumped into the room. when he saw his wife lying calmly on the bed, he heaved a sigh of relief. before cain left, he set up some protective magic circles around the bed. in addition, he had rushed back in time. therefore, everything was still under control. ¡± lina,¡± kaien said.¡± i found the soul fruit. you¡¯ll recover soon.¡± as he spoke, he turned the soul fruit into a ball of purple gas and flew into lina¡¯s mouth. ¡°phew!¡± ¡°suck!¡± kaien was extremely nervous, and his breathing became rapid. he saw¡­ lina¡¯s eyelids twitched slightly, and she opened her mouth slightly. he was awake! lina woke up! ¡°it¡¯s me, i¡¯m here!¡± kane said excitedly. i¡¯m here!¡± lina opened her mouth but soon fell asleep again. ¡°lena! lena!¡± kane shouted anxiously. however, no matter how he called out, lina did not respond. lin fan, who was standing behind him, said,¡± his heavenly soul is severely damaged. the soul fruit just now only activated a little bit of his heavenly soul.¡± ¡°fellow daoist lin, do you have a way to save lina?¡± kaien asked. his eyes were filled with anticipation and hope. lin fan said,¡± there shouldn¡¯t be any problems.¡± in fact, it was not just no problem. this was a piece of cake for lin fan. ¡°then i¡¯ll have to trouble fellow daoist lin,¡± kaien said. lin fan nodded. he raised his hand and pointed at lina. a vigorous light of life quickly entered lina¡¯s body like spring water. suddenly, golden light surrounded lina. after a while, she opened her eyes. ¡°kane¡­¡± ¡°it¡¯s me, i¡¯m here!¡± kaien said. lina threw herself into kane¡¯s arms. ¡°that¡¯s great, you¡¯re fine!¡± kaien said excitedly. after they separated, kaien said to lin fan,¡± fellow daoist lin, thank you. thank you so much!¡± lin fan waved his hand,¡± it¡¯s nothing. you don¡¯t have to be so polite.¡± ¡°you two have a good reunion. i¡¯m going to do something,¡± she said after a pause. ¡°work? on hengtong planet?¡± kane asked. ¡°yes.¡± lin fan nodded. that¡¯s right! it was to do things on hengtong planet. that was because when lin fan arrived at the hengtong planet, he suddenly realized that there was actually a pearl on this planet. perhaps this was the good karma. ¡± i¡¯m on planet hengtong,¡± kaien said.¡± i have some abilities. i¡¯ll go with you.¡± lin fan had saved his wife. kaien was already thinking about how to report this. now, perhaps, it was an opportunity. what kind of cultivation state was lin fan at? why would he need help when he was working on a planet? however, he could see kane¡¯s sincerity. if he refused, kane would probably be bothered for a long time. ¡± okay!¡± lin fan replied. kane helped lina adjust her breathing for a moment to make sure she was fine. then, he set up a defensive array around the house. only then did he head south with lin fan. at first, kane¡¯s expression was very relaxed. however, as they continued to move forward, kane¡¯s face gradually became serious and nervous. when he saw lin fan preparing to walk towards a tall mountain gate, kaien couldn¡¯t help but ask,¡± fellow daoist lin, are you going to sea sky pavilion?¡± lin fan said,¡± are you talking about the sect in front?¡± that should be it.¡± kaien hurriedly said,¡± fellow daoist lin, you might not know this, but the sea sky pavilion looks righteous on the surface, but it¡¯s actually extremely sinister. their pavilion master has a very powerful force in the pavilion. they were the ones who wanted to hurt my wife just now.¡± Chapter 771 - 771 The Pearl; Its Location! 771 the pearl; its location! when kaien said this, his eyes were fixed on lin fan. there was a hint of worry and anxiety in his tone. that was because he didn¡¯t know what kind of relationship lin fan had with the sea sky pavilion. he wondered why lin fan had come to the sea sky pavilion. lin fan knew what kaien was thinking with a single glance. ¡°don¡¯t worry. i have nothing to do with the sea sky pavilion. it¡¯s just that there¡¯s something i want inside.¡± ¡°as for their pavilion master, there¡¯s no need to worry. he relied on the formation of the sea sky pavilion to obtain some power that doesn¡¯t belong to him.¡± as he spoke, lin fan had already arrived in front of the doors of the sea sky pavilion. ¡± who¡¯s there?!¡± the two disciples at the door shouted. lin fan¡¯s reply was to casually point. ¡°plop!¡± ¡°plop!¡± the two disciples fell to the ground, unable to get up. the commotion here quickly attracted the attention of the others in the sea sky pavilion. a powerful aura gushed out from within. a large group of people shot out like sharp arrows. ¡°kane!¡± ¡°it¡¯s kane!¡± ¡°kill them!¡± ¡± you actually dare to come to my sea sky pavilion? how audacious!¡± ¡°kill him!¡± shouts of battle rose and fell. initially, lin fan only wanted to take the pearl and didn¡¯t want to kill anyone. however, at this moment, facing the shouts of others, he could no longer hold back. even though the other party¡¯s main target was not him. ¡°whoosh!¡± he saw¡­ lin fan waved his hand casually, and the shouts and shouts stopped abruptly. they fell to the ground like big radishes. there was no vitality left! at this moment, a loud voice came from the sea sky pavilion. ¡°bastard!¡± then, the huge sea sky pavilion seemed to have transformed into a primordial beast, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. then, he charged towards lin fan. in response, lin fan pointed out casually. a terrifying energy pillar poured down. ¡°whoosh!¡± instantly, the entire world turned white. everyone lost their sight. after an unknown period of time, the world returned to normal. the next moment, kaien, who was standing beside lin fan, opened his mouth wide. he was completely stunned. because the huge sea sky pavilion had already disappeared. if not for the fact that the surrounding mountains were still there. kaien almost thought that he was no longer in the sea sky pavilion. so, lin fan had destroyed the sea sky pavilion with just a wave of his hand? in fact, it was just as kane had expected. because lin fan didn¡¯t like trouble. now that he had become enemies with the sea sky pavilion, he might as well settle it once and for all. he didn¡¯t like the endless drama of beating up the younger one and bringing up the older one. lin fan grabbed at the air and a fiery red pearl appeared in his hand. he had obtained another one! ¡°i¡¯ve got what i wanted, so i¡¯ll be leaving first,¡± he said to kane. as soon as he finished speaking, lin fan took a step forward and disappeared without a trace. kane was left in a daze. there was only one thought in his mind. who exactly was lin fan? what realm had his cultivation reached? ¡­. lin fan had done this casually. he didn¡¯t care about how kaien would react after that. he took a step forward and crossed space. a few days later, he returned to earth. then, he entered a state of cultivation. lin fan willed it and came to the river of time. he took a step forward and directly arrived on the time great dao. walking on the path of time, he was surrounded by memories of the past that were like movies. ¡°whoosh!¡± at this moment, light swirled not far away and gradually condensed into a human figure. the figure turned his body and looked over. soon, he revealed a smile. ¡°fellow daoist lin!¡± this person was tao qian, whom he had met not long ago. ¡°fellow daoist tao.¡± lin fan replied. lin fan had a pretty good impression of this dao friend tao. last time, the other party had exchanged time comprehension with him without holding back, allowing him to have a certain improvement in the great dao of time. ¡°fellow daoist lin, i have some new insights this time¡­¡± tao qian said. lin fan smiled,¡± i have an idea too.¡± the two of them looked at each other and smiled. as they walked, they exchanged their understanding of time. unknowingly, the two of them walked further and further on the path of time, and their gains became richer and richer. they only stopped when they reached 350,000 meters. ¡°see you next time, fellow daoist lin,¡± tao qian said with a smile. ¡°see you next time.¡± lin fan said. when lin fan retracted his consciousness, a crisp notification rang out in his mind. [ding! [tao qian¡¯s favorability towards you has increased to 6 stars.] when lin fan heard that, he rubbed his chin. tao qian was willing to give him a favorable impression of 6 stars. ¡­. in the blink of an eye, 50 years had passed. with each passing day, lin fan¡¯s aura grew stronger. however, he did not show any signs of breaking through. on this day, a voice rang out in lin fan¡¯s mind. ¡°master.¡± lin fan¡¯s mind moved slightly and he knew that this voice came from ma zheng. thus, he used soul communication with ma zheng. ¡°greetings, master!¡± ma zheng said respectfully. ¡°what¡¯s the matter?¡± lin fan asked. ¡°master asked me to find the orb. i got some information.¡± ma zheng said. ¡°oh?¡± lin fan¡¯s expression changed slightly. ¡± about 300 years ago, someone from the ocean forest star in the western region of the divine astral universe saw the orb,¡± ma zheng said hurriedly.¡± but, not long ago, i went to the ocean hidden star and didn¡¯t find the orb¡­¡± ¡± i¡¯m sorry, master.¡± he knelt on the ground again.¡± i didn¡¯t do my job well. please punish me, master.¡± lin fan smiled,¡± you¡¯ve already done well. why should i punish you?¡± not bad! you can continue to pay attention to the other orbs.¡± master, you¡¯re already saying that you¡¯re not bad! ¡°yes, master!¡± ma zheng said excitedly. after ending the soul connection, lin fan leaped out. his target was the divine astral universe. a few days later, a green planet appeared in the sky. this was the ocean forest planet. the size of this planet was about 10 times that of earth. it was very huge. lin fan couldn¡¯t help but think that if earth was so big, there probably wouldn¡¯t be so many people traveling around the world in the past, right? he shook his head slightly and threw this thought aside. then, it flashed across the entire ocean forest planet. after a while, lin fan stopped in his tracks. that was because he had already explored the entire ocean forest planet, but he did not find any traces of the orb. however, this was also within his expectations. therefore, he did not show any displeasure. after all, 300 years had passed since the news of the orb. since the orb had not been discovered on planet hailin, there was no need to stay any longer. lin fan took a step forward and flew towards a nearby planet. perhaps the orb was on a nearby planet? in a short 10 days, lin fan had scouted the surrounding 100 planets, but he still found nothing. just as lin fan was about to give up, his expression changed slightly. that was because he had suddenly discovered traces of the orb! Chapter 772 - 772 Thank You For Helping! 772 thank you for helping! on a mountain road. the group of people fled in panic, their faces filled with panic. ¡°run!¡± ¡°hurry up!¡± the woman with a better figure kept panting,¡±i¡­¡± i can¡¯t take it anymore. you guys run first.¡± ¡°what nonsense are you talking about? hurry up and run!¡± ¡°let me help you!¡± ¡°i¡¯ll help too!¡± as the few people beside him spoke, they picked up the woman and continued running forward. however, just as they were talking, a group of men in black had already caught up to them. ¡°die!¡± they said viciously. as soon as he finished speaking, long sabers swept through sharp astral winds and slashed at the few of them. even though the saber had not yet landed, the few of them could already feel a bone-piercing chill that made them feel despair. the few of them had no doubt¡­ in the next moment, he would be cut in half and his head would be separated from his body. the few of them could not help but close their eyes. however, they did not feel any pain for a long time. they could not help but slowly open their eyes. only then did he realize that the group of men in black had all fallen to the ground at some point in time. it was unknown if they were dead or alive. however, there was a tall and handsome man in front of them. he¡­ it was lin fan. ¡°it¡¯s fine now.¡± lin fan said. ¡± thank you, young master.¡± the few of them came back to their senses and bowed respectfully.¡± thank you for saving me.¡± lin fan said,¡± no need to thank me. i didn¡¯t save you for nothing. i need a pearl from you.¡± he spoke very directly without beating around the bush. otherwise, even if he saw someone being chased, he wouldn¡¯t have casually attacked. after all, there were too many grudges in this world. if he were to take care of everything, wouldn¡¯t he die of exhaustion? the few of them were stunned. ¡°young hero, do you want this bead?¡± the woman with the better figure asked. as she spoke, she took out a gray bead. lin fan nodded,¡± that¡¯s right, that¡¯s it.¡± the woman handed it over without hesitation. even though this pearl was very important to her. lin fan willed the pearl into his body. thus, he had gathered four orbs. the woman hesitated for a moment and said,¡±this¡­¡± young hero, can you take us back to the capital? at that time, i will send you a generous reward.¡± rich reward? even if he were to give this planet to lin fan, he wouldn¡¯t mind at all. however, the other party had just given him a pearl, so it was fine to help him. ¡°sure,¡± lin fan said. ¡°thank you, young hero!¡± the woman said happily. along the way, she had suffered too many snipers and dangers. she had already experienced the moment when she was almost killed by the men in black several times. every time, they used their lives to fill the gap. as a result, they were originally a team of 100 people. now, there were only a few of them left. originally, she had already given up on the idea of returning to the capital alive. however, lin fan¡¯s appearance gave her hope again. now that he had obtained the pearl, lin fan was not in a hurry. he strolled along with the others and could be considered to be admiring the scenery of the other world. after a long conversation, lin fan found out that the woman with a good figure was called jiang xiaoyue. she was the daughter of the boss of hao lai on aierxing. good again was the largest trading company on planet hailin. it was no joke that its wealth could rival that of a country. there was a tradition in hao lai, which was to let their children, who were 16 years old, take a certain amount of start-up funds to go out and make a living. with three years as a cycle, they would be evaluated and ranked based on the wealth they earned. those with a higher ranking would receive preferential resources from hao zai lai, and the most outstanding ones would have the chance to inherit hao zai lai. this was a method of cultivating gu. at the same time, it was also the reason why hao zai lai continued to develop and grow. not long after, it was the time for a cycle of assessment. jiang xiaoyue¡¯s performance in the past three years was extremely outstanding, which made her other brothers and sisters jealous. of course, if it was just these brothers and sisters, it would not be too dangerous. this was because haozai forbade anyone from hurting each other. once they were found out, they would be severely punished. the important thing was that the boss of hao zai had died of a serious illness not long ago. some of the enemies of good again took the opportunity to make trouble, which led to the crisis. lin fan had read about such grudges in novels before, so he wasn¡¯t too surprised. he only chatted with jiang xiaoyue casually, his eyes constantly moving on the scenery of the other world. what kind of eyesight did jiang xiaoyue have? she could easily tell that lin fan¡¯s thoughts weren¡¯t on her but she wasn¡¯t angry. on the contrary, he would prepare drinking water for lin fan and roast meat for him. he was like a servant. half a month later, the imperial capital appeared before everyone. jiang xiaoyue and the others all smiled. ¡± young hero lin, please come back and take a rest. i will thank you later.¡± lin fan said,¡± it¡¯s fine if you want to thank me. i¡¯ll help you again.¡± help? jiang xiaoyue and the others looked puzzled. they had already arrived at the capital, so they could come back to the base camp. why would he need help? ¡°ta!¡± as if in response to lin fan, a large group of men with sharp blades rushed out and surrounded everyone, including lin fan. ¡°second miss jiang, long time no see.¡± the leader, a man in a green robe, laughed sinisterly. when jiang xiaoyue saw him and the two men beside him, her pupils constricted slightly. ¡± green-faced king, deadly twin beasts!¡± there was a heaven list on el planet, which recorded the top 100 experts. every expert here possessed incomparably terrifying strength. the green-faced king and the deadly twin beasts were the powerhouses on the heaven roll! especially the green-faced king, who was ranked top 20 on the heaven list! any one of these three people could make people afraid, but now, a total of three had appeared! it was simply despair! a person¡¯s name, a tree¡¯s shadow. when the three people¡¯s names were mentioned, the people around jiang xiaoyue could not help but take a few steps back. jiang xiaoyue said to lin fan,¡± young hero lin, you have nothing to do with us. let¡¯s go.¡± it had to be said that this jiang xiaoyue still had some loyalty. at this moment, the first person he thought of was lin fan. lin fan shook his head,¡± you haven¡¯t thanked me. i can¡¯t leave yet.¡± jiang xiaoyue was stunned for a moment and was about to speak again. ¡± alright,¡± the green-faced king said from a distance.¡± there¡¯s no need to say anymore. none of you will be leaving today.¡± ¡°kill them!¡± ¡± die!¡± he shouted, emitting an extremely ferocious aura. the men in black behind him raised their blades and slashed at jiang xiaoyue, lin fan, and the others. regarding this¡­ lin fan only let out a light snort. ¡°humph!¡± a powerful sound wave spread out with lin fan as the center. ¡°puff!¡± ¡°puff!¡± instantly, the men in black who were rushing over were sent flying as if they had been hit by a speeding car. they spat out a large mouthful of blood in the air and fell to the ground, completely unable to move. Chapter 773 - 773 System; Powerful! 773 system; powerful! the green-faced king and the deadly twin beasts raised their eyebrows and quickly pulled out their weapons, ready to attack at any time. ¡°bang!¡± ¡°bang!¡± however, before they could make their next move, the three of them were sent flying like the men in black earlier. they spat out a large mouthful of blood and were completely silent. silence. the entire place fell silent. jiang xiaoyue and the others opened their mouths wide, looking a little stunned. those were the green-faced king and the deadly twin beasts on the heaven rankings! in the blink of an eye, he was defeated? who was this young hero lin? how high was his cultivation? lin fan didn¡¯t care about the shocked people and said,¡± let¡¯s go.¡± when jiang xiaoyue heard this, she came back to her senses and stammered,¡±ah¡­¡± ah¡­ alright.¡± the group continued to move forward. when they arrived at the entrance of the hao zai trading company, another group of men in black rushed out. ¡°hualala!¡± however, before these men in black could do anything, some of them even couldn¡¯t run out completely before they all vomited blood and fell to the ground dispiritedly. this scene shocked jiang xiaoyue and the others. lin fan said,¡± i¡¯ve sent you all here safely. how are you going to thank me?¡± originally, jiang xiaoyue was prepared to give him a very profound cultivation technique. but now that he saw how powerful lin fan was, he felt that the skill might not be of much use to him. she opened her mouth but couldn¡¯t say anything. lin fan smiled,¡± what? you don¡¯t want to thank me?¡± ¡°thank you, thank you. young hero jiang, please wait for me for a moment.¡± jiang xiaoyue hurriedly said. after saying that, she rushed into the hao zai lai trading company. after a while, she took out a sword with a cold light and an ancient book. lin fan took it and said,¡± you gave me two gifts. i¡¯ll return one to you.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he casually waved his hand, and a golden stream of light directly entered jiang xiaoyue¡¯s body. suddenly, a clear notification sounded in jiang xiaoyue¡¯s mind. [ding! [the paywall system has been successfully bound.] jiang xiaoyue was stunned. a paywall system? [the paywall system. a system that can become stronger after spending money.] you can become stronger just by spending money? there was such a thing in the world? when jiang xiaoyue raised her head and wanted to ask lin fan, he had already disappeared. then, jiang xiaoyue bought some things with the intention of giving it a try. the next moment, her eyes widened. that was because her strength had indeed increased! the system was actually real! ¡­. of course it was true. all these years, lin fan had created quite a few systems out of boredom. this spending money to become stronger system was just one of them. furthermore, it could only be considered a very ordinary one, the upper limit could only reach the universe level. at this moment, lin fan¡¯s body flashed and he appeared on a planet billions of kilometers away. the environment of this planet was similar to that of earth, and it had a lot of water resources. lin fan couldn¡¯t help but be curious as he used his spirit to scan the area. sweeping around, lin fan found a familiar face. it was little rock. at this moment, there was a delicate and pretty girl beside little rock. they looked at each other with shy expressions. this was¡­ the stone bloomed? lin fan¡¯s face revealed a strange look. he leaped and flew toward little rock. ¡­. little rock and the girl came to a jewelry shop and prepared to go in and take a look. at this moment, a tall middle-aged man happened to walk over. ¡°xiao qin!¡± the middle-aged man said in a deep voice. ¡°father,¡± the girl said nervously. ¡°why are you still with him?!¡± the middle-aged man asked sternly. ¡°father, he treats me very well¡­¡± xiao qin said. ¡°good? what¡¯s the use? he¡¯s not worthy of you at all!¡± the middle-aged man said. ¡± he¡¯s very talented,¡± xiao qin said.¡± he¡¯ll definitely become a strong person in the future.¡± the middle-aged man sneered.¡± there are many talented people in this world. he¡¯s nothing. don¡¯t be fooled by him. come here quickly!¡± as he spoke, he reached out to pull xiao qin over. little rock quickly took a step forward and vaguely protected little qin behind him. ¡± what?¡± the middle-aged man¡¯s face turned stiff.¡± you want to have a fight with me?¡± xiao qin tugged at little rock¡¯s clothes and shook her head slightly. obviously, she didn¡¯t want little rock and his father to be unhappy. ¡°whoosh!¡± at this moment, a tall and handsome figure suddenly appeared beside him. ¡°greetings, master.¡± little rock bowed respectfully when he saw him. the middle-aged man¡¯s face turned even uglier when he heard that.¡± did you see that, xiao qin?¡± he asked in a deep voice. he was just a servant! hurry up and come over!¡± he looked as if he would lose face if little rock and little qin stayed any longer. ¡°rumble!¡± at this moment, a huge spaceship that covered the sky suddenly appeared in the sky. below the spaceship was a terrifying blood-red skull. a terrifying aura surged down like a tsunami. ¡± bloody skeleton pirate!¡± the middle-aged man exclaimed in shock. ¡± xiao qin, hurry up and leave. the blood skeletons have universe levels, and even king level warriors!¡± universe level, king level! this was definitely a disaster that could not be resisted by ordinary planets. ¡°it¡¯s space pirates! also, they are blood skeleton space pirates!¡± ¡°heavens!¡± ¡°help!¡± ¡°run!¡± ¡°hurry up and ask for help!¡± the entire planet was filled with screams. it was obvious that the blood skeleton pirate was very famous. many people had heard of his terror. the entire planet fell into chaos. at this moment, a deep voice sounded from the spaceship. ¡°now, i want you to gather 100 billion crystals in one day! for every 100 million crystals that we lose, i, the blood skeleton, will kill 1% of the creatures!¡± 100 billion crystals! it had to be said that this was definitely an exorbitant demand. it would take at least 100,000 years to accumulate 100 billion crystals for a planet. this was only a possibility. if there were any more losses, they might not be able to gather them even if they sold the entire planet. and bamboo star was obviously a planet that had been damaged. massacre was inevitable! the entire planet wailed again. everyone was panicking to the extreme. lin fan frowned,¡± so noisy!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, he raised his finger and pointed at the air. ¡°whoosh!¡± a dazzling energy beam shot into the sky. in an instant, the massive blood skeleton ship shattered like a bubble. a wave of energy spread out in all directions, causing a violent wind to blow across the entire bamboo planet. his clothes and the trees shook and rustled. everyone¡¯s mouth was wide open, and their expressions were stunned. among them, the middle-aged man and xiao qin, who were standing beside lin fan, had the worst expressions. destroy the spaceship with a single finger! he¡­ who was it? p.s. welcome to my complete book,¡± red envelope chat group.¡± Chapter 774 - 774 Shock; Support! 774 shock; support! one had to know¡­ the blood skeleton¡¯s universe ships were all s grade! even if a king level, no, even a monarch level expert wanted to destroy it, it would take some effort. in the end, it was a finger! lin fan just pointed casually! the entire spaceship and everyone in it turned into nothingness. this was simply unimaginable! ¡°phew!¡± a breeze blew past. lin fan¡¯s expression was still calm. this was normal¡­ after all, with lin fan¡¯s current strength, not to mention a flying ship. even if it was a star area, if one wanted to destroy it, it would only take a moment. lin fan turned his body slightly and said to the middle-aged man,¡± you said that little stone isn¡¯t worthy of marrying your daughter?¡± the middle-aged man felt his throat go dry. this¡­¡± he stuttered for a long time but could not say a word. the strength that lin fan had displayed was simply too terrifying. little rock was lin fan¡¯s man. even if he was just a servant, he was definitely not someone she could provoke. lin fan frowned. seeing this¡­ ¡°yes, yes!¡± the middle-aged man hurriedly said. my daughter is climbing up the social ladder! my daughter has climbed up the social ladder!¡± even though he was afraid. but at the same time, it was also his sincere words. this was because this was a world where the strong reigned supreme. since little rock had lin fan as his master, it could be said that little rock had an unimaginable backer. ¡± little stone, you didn¡¯t tell them your real age, right?¡± lin fan asked. ¡°i told them i¡¯m 50,000 years old,¡± little rock shook his head. ¡°aren¡¯t you 50,000 years old?¡± xiao qin asked. ¡± i¡¯ve told you before,¡± little rock said.¡± i¡¯m a creature born from a rock. however, it¡¯s only been 500 years since i came out of the rock.¡± 500 years! xiao qin and the middle-aged man beside her widened their eyes in disbelief. that was because they all knew that little rock¡¯s current strength was at the star advanced level. a 50,000-year-old star advanced level could indeed be considered quite talented. however, a 500-year-old advanced stellar-level was not just talented. he was simply a monster, a monster that he had never heard of before! after a pause, little rock continued,¡± little qin, i¡¯m sorry. i didn¡¯t mean to hide it from you. i¡¯ve been hiding my age all these years in the outside world.¡± ¡± after that, you said you didn¡¯t like a relationship between a brother and a sister. that¡¯s why i said 50,000 years ago.¡± ¡°i understand,¡± xiao qin said. understand? yes, she understood too well. a 500-year-old star level, if this news were to spread, it would definitely shock the entire planet. the middle-aged man beside him also had a helpless expression on his face. if he had known that little rock was only 500 years old, why would he stop his daughter from being with him? he couldn¡¯t be happier. the middle-aged man couldn¡¯t help but look at lin fan. he opened his mouth but didn¡¯t dare to say anything. little stone seemed to know what the middle-aged man wanted to say. he snorted and said,¡± the reason why i have the strength i have today is all because of master!¡± in addition, master also has tens of thousands of servants who far surpass my talent!¡± little rock was obviously referring to those talented people on earth. of course, his words were a little exaggerated. that was because little rock was the leader and the strongest among all the people who had come from earth. he was also born from the holy stone, so his talent was naturally outstanding. at first, the middle-aged man felt that he was overestimating lin fan¡¯s identity. however, after hearing little rock¡¯s words, the middle-aged man felt that he had still underestimated him. tens of thousands of geniuses who far surpassed little rock¡­ what kind of talent and power did lin fan have? thinking of this, the middle-aged man¡¯s throat could not help but feel a little dry. lin fan knew that little rock was trying to improve himself, but he didn¡¯t care too much. ¡°little rock, didn¡¯t you bring them out back then? why are you alone now?¡± lin fan asked. ¡°not long after we came out, we saw a huge black hole. we couldn¡¯t help but stop curiously for a while. in the end, the black hole suddenly appeared with a powerful suction force and directly sucked us in¡­¡± little rock sighed. ¡°i don¡¯t know why i ended up here.¡± lin fan thought for a moment and knew where the black hole that little rock was talking about was. that was probably caused by his battle. he just didn¡¯t expect it to produce a suction force. lin fan nodded,¡± i¡¯m going to the black hole to look. are you going to stay here or come with me?¡± don¡¯t be in a hurry to answer. you should discuss it with your little girlfriend first.¡± little rock turned around and said,¡±little qin, you¡­¡± ¡°i¡¯ll be with you!¡± xiao qin said without hesitation. as she spoke, she held little rock¡¯s hand tightly. ¡°master, i¡¯ll go with you to the black hole to find them,¡± said little rock. lin fan looked at the middle-aged man. ¡± you can go wherever you want,¡± the middle-aged man said.¡± i¡¯ll support you!¡± now that he knew about little rock¡¯s talent, he couldn¡¯t wait for his daughter to marry little rock immediately. why would he object? lin fan nodded,¡± since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s go.¡± as soon as he finished speaking. lin fan, little rock, and little qin turned into light spots and disappeared. only the middle-aged man was left standing on the spot, exclaiming in amazement,¡±so fast!¡± ¡­. lin fan brought along little rock and little qin as they jumped around in the void. five days later, a blue planet appeared in their field of vision. this¡­ it was earth. little rock, who had been away from home for decades, had a faint glint in his eyes when he saw earth. xiao qin, who was beside him, was also attracted by the appearance of earth. she couldn¡¯t help but exclaim,¡±it¡¯s so beautiful!¡± ¡± this is earth,¡± little rock said.¡± it¡¯s my and master¡¯s hometown.¡± ¡°little stone, your hometown is awesome!¡± xiao qin praised again. ¡°phew!¡± at this moment, a powerful suction force suddenly appeared from the black hole not far away. if one¡¯s cultivation was slightly weaker, they would be directly sucked into the black hole if they were not careful. of course, this suction force was nothing to lin fan. he saw¡­ lin fan¡¯s eyes shone with a golden light. however, he was unable to see through this black hole completely. this piqued lin fan¡¯s interest. however, he did not enter immediately. instead, he asked the system in his heart, will it be dangerous for me to enter the black hole? even though there were very few things in this world that could threaten lin fan anymore. however, it was never wrong to be a little careful. [requires 1 billion spirit stones. do you wish to inquire?] based on lin fan¡¯s many years of experience, the more spirit stones he consumed, the greater the danger and experts involved. one billion, obviously wouldn¡¯t involve too strong an existence. under normal circumstances, there wouldn¡¯t be any danger. however, lin fan still chose to ask. [there won¡¯t be any danger.] lin fan heard that and said,¡± little rock, little qin, let¡¯s go in and take a look.¡± ¡°alright,¡± said little rock. he had always been very concerned about those people back then. now that he had the opportunity to find them, he naturally would not miss it.
