Chapter 107: Chapter 105: I Really Want to Spar with Mr. Li

"Oh, Lin Hao, I’m really sorry, my dad doesn’t mean anything bad."

Lin Hao nodded, signaling his understanding.

After all, after finishing lunch just now...

Being pulled into a discussion about whether ginger, milk, and mugwort should be added to a foot bath, could someone like that have any ill intentions?

Especially after the discussion was over, the two seriously debated whether it was worth paying extra to extend the foot massage beyond eighty minutes at the same price...

He simply doesn’t like Lin Hao.

Lin Hao considered things from a different perspective...

Smack!

Lin Hao didn’t need to consider from another’s perspective; he was destined to become an Immortal Ancestor.

"Marrying and having children" and other mundane worldly concerns were something he wouldn’t involve himself with...

Moreover, twenty-something Lin Hao couldn’t imagine, if in the future he was still youthful hundreds of years later, and a seemingly decrepit "elder" came to him, calling out—

"Welcome back, Ancestor" or "Beseeching Ancestor to save my life"...

Just thinking about that scenario made Lin Hao feel a bit awkward.

The current situation was pretty good.

Leave the problems to his future self.

Just like when he once clenched his teeth and stamped his foot, borrowed a billion, and threw the problem of repayment onto his future self...

Now, with an increase in power, he could obtain more cultivation resources.

The earlier you improve, the earlier you enjoy.

Even in the Cultivation Realm, this principle holds true.

[This magical combat, Lin Hao picked up ’three pieces of lower grade Spirit Stone’ from the wild cultivator]

[This magical combat, Lin Hao picked up ’pure Spiritual Source (lower grade)’ from the wild cultivator]

[This magical combat, Lin Hao picked up ’Wind Element lower grade Pseudo Spirit Root’ from the wild cultivator]

[This magical combat, Lin Hao picked up ’Light Element lower grade Pseudo Spirit Root’ from the wild cultivator]

[This magical combat...]

The log kept updating, Lin Hao knew his incarnation was seriously engaging in magical combat in Valve City.

Meanwhile, he was about to head to the front hall to offer various milk teas from Happy Milk Tea Shop to the upper-class folks of Chenxi District...

Why was he half an hour late compared to the originally scheduled two o’clock in the afternoon?

Because Mr. Li reviewed Li Chuchu’s promotional plan and was generally satisfied, but thought one aspect could still be improved.

The original plan was like so—

Let the upper-class individuals interested in tasting go to the milk tea they wish to try, and there would be someone to spoon out a small cup.

But now it had changed to—

Each type of milk tea was already placed in small gold cups, each with only five milliliters; those who wanted to taste could pick them up anytime... and the cups themselves could be taken anytime.

When Lin Hao heard this plan, for a moment, he really wanted to spar with Mr. Li.

But Lin Hao, he held back.

[Residual Pill Ancestor Lin Hao, neither rejoices in material things nor grieves for personal woes]

[He believed that his cultivation to improve the grade of Ke Chen’s Little World, establish schools, and expand the Immortal Path, relied not on resources nor connections, but on his compassion and kindness toward all beings] 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

[Cultivation isn’t just for mastering supreme magical power; it is also for consistently seeking the way and cultivating the heart]

Lin Hao felt the log perfectly reflected his mindset...

But as Lin Hao watched the staff in Li Family Manor’s attire go out with cup after cup of small gold goblets, he turned his head away, not looking, "neither rejoices in material things nor grieves for personal woes"...

...

Compared to the relaxed atmosphere at Li Family Manor in Chenxi District, Ke Chen City’s City Management Team was a hive of busy tension.

[Investigation Team] leader personally walked to the report stand and said solemnly:

"Gluttonous Legislator, male, age unknown, personality unknown.

Based on information disclosed by neighboring cities and the City Joint Committee, I will only talk about two key matters—

Dice City.

A city with a permanent population of a million, had six blossoming Extraordinaries within the city, publicly condemning the Gluttonous Legislator lineage, and one month later, the Extraordinaries of the Gluttonous Legislator lineage attacked the city.

Saying ’Blood flowed like rivers’ does not describe the carnage."

While speaking, the Investigation Team leader showed a few photos, causing some women Extraordinaries present to close their eyes in fright.

City, a sea of blood red.

The most striking was a child in a basin in the river of blood, looking around in confusion.

"Because of this photo, many cities condemned the Gluttonous Legislator of the Extraordinary Universal School, and facing strong condemnation, the Gluttonous Legislator publicly claimed through a penman:

Any city that dares speak again will become a dead city.

The Dice City incident was considered one of the triggers for the City Joint Committee’s establishment."

At this point, the Investigation Team leader took a deep breath and continued:

"Hill Valley City.

An early City Joint Committee member, but suddenly one day, the city fell under high-pressure management by the Extraordinaries, rendering ordinary people complete slaves to them, yet due to city autonomy, other cities could not intervene.

One day, before the city’s mayor progressed in power, he invited neighboring cities to attend the ceremony, and at the moment of breakthrough, the mayor directly committed suicide in front of attending guests.

After investigation, it was discovered that Hill Valley City’s sudden subjection to high-pressure management was highly likely due to the mayor’s will being directly controlled by the Extraordinaries within the Gluttonous Legislator lineage.

Suicide was at the moment of breakthrough, that fleeting clarity of consciousness...

This action by the Gluttonous Legislator completely defied the intended purpose of the City Joint Committee’s establishment, so an emergency interim meeting was convened to interview the Gluttonous Legislator.

But the day before the meeting, Hill Valley completely went silent, when the City Joint Committee visited the city, they found every person, strictly speaking, every skeletal organism...

All dead."

With that, the Investigation Team leader showed a few more photos, although this photo contained no blood.

But the ground full of white bones, the city’s deathly silence, was portrayed vividly.

"Due to this incident, the City Joint Committee’s interim meeting was not successfully held, and because Extraordinary Universal School’s penman openly declared the school’s self-restraint afterward, for reasons unknown, subsequent meetings were forgotten..."

After the Investigation Team leader finished introducing, the Captain of the City Management Team stepped forward, saying heavily:

"Everyone, now withdraw, there’s still time."

The meeting site remained silent.

Yet Tiezhu stood up first, waving his iron fist:

"Let’s get them!"

"Tiezhu, emotions can’t solve any problems."

Sitting beside Tiezhu, Yadan stood up, patted Tiezhu on the shoulder, signaling him to sit, then seriously addressed the stage:

"Captain, I think we should perform some resource stockpiling now, we need to unite with able-bodied Extraordinaries... even some registered ones who haven’t joined our City Management Team, we also need to seek their strength, for example, Milk Tea Master’s milk tea powder packets, they still have some usefulness for receptacles."

Because of Yadan’s words, many Extraordinaries in the venue began offering suggestions and strategies.

From the last row, Name-Slinging Geezer’s eyes were obscure and indecipherable.

Doused in trembling, he took out a hand tobacco pipe, pulled out some tobacco shavings from the cloth bag, stuffed it in, and lit it up...

He took a few puffs, his tears spurted from the smoke’s irritations...

But in the venue, no one said anything.

Because at this moment, many participants indulged in smoking, some even smoked directly beneath a "No Smoking" sign...
