Chapter 412: Refining Material: Amber Gold

"Why is it you?" Lin Feng frowned.

Lu Bailing had a radiant smile on her face: "Why can't it be me? Lin Feng, thank you for stepping in to save me last night; otherwise, I definitely would have been ruined by that ugly guy."

"Are you here to thank me?" Lin Feng asked.

"Yes." Lu Bailing nodded vigorously.

Lin Feng then said with a smile: "Then how do you want to thank me? Don't talk about giving me money; it's too vulgar, and I'm not short on money. I have no interest in money."

Lu Bailing said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, where did your thoughts go? How could I possibly insult you with money? Don't worry, the thank-you gift I'm giving you is definitely something money can't buy."

As she spoke, Lu Bailing took a very exquisite small box out of the Porsche supercar behind her.

"What is this?" Lin Feng asked.

"Mr. Lin, you'll know in a moment."

The smile on Lu Bailing's face was radiant, and then she opened the box.

Inside the box was a tray, and on the tray were a teapot and six teacups.

So it was a tea set!

Lin Feng had originally had a little expectation, but now that he saw this thing, his curiosity vanished without a trace.

Lin Feng had no interest in drinking tea to begin with; he basically drank tea as if it were plain boiled water, so naturally, he wouldn't care about tea sets or anything of the sort.

It wasn't just Lin Feng; Xiaoxue also frowned and said very unhappily: "Big Sister, you are really too stingy. You're just using a set of cups for drinking tea to thank my daddy?"

"You really don't know quality when you see it!"

Lu Bailing glared fiercely at Xiaoxue, then said to Lin Feng with a face full of smiles: "Mr. Lin, take a good look at this tea set; this tea set is not simple."

"How is it not simple?" Lin Feng asked.

"The material is not simple! This is not something that any purple clay teapot can compare to. The material of this tea set is very special; my sister said this is a new type of material that has never been discovered before."

Perhaps fearing that Lin Feng didn't know who her sister was, Lu Bailing continued: "Although my sister is the same age as me, only eighteen this year, she is already a graduate student and will receive her doctorate soon. Plus, she works at a physics laboratory in our Minle City; she is a proper scientific researcher!"

"Really?"

As Lin Feng spoke, he reached out and picked up the largest teapot on the tray.

He hadn't looked closely just now, so Lin Feng truly hadn't seen anything special about this tea set.

But now, the moment Lin Feng held this teapot in his hand, he realized something was wrong.

First, this teapot was very heavy; the weight was extremely substantial. Lin Feng even felt it was heavier than an equal volume of gold!

Second, under the sunlight, this teapot emitted a golden luster similar to amber, layered and very textured; it was extremely beautiful.

Finally, this material could actually conduct and store True Qi!

Lin Feng circulated the True Qi within his body and injected it into the teapot, only to discover that his True Qi was actually being preserved inside the teapot and did not dissipate immediately.

Thus, Lin Feng was finally able to confirm it.

The material used for this teapot was indeed not simple; it was a material for artifact refining, and a very precious one among them at that, known as Amber Gold!

Lin Feng put the teapot down and picked up the teacups to examine them.

These small, exquisite teacups were also crafted from Amber Gold!

Even the circular tray holding these teacups and the teapot was likewise crafted from Amber Gold!

At this, the expression on Lin Feng's face became very serious.

This tea set was definitely of high value!

But not because of how good its craftsmanship was, nor because of how high its artistic value was, but because the material used to craft this tea set was truly extraordinary!

"Not bad, a very good item indeed; I can make use of it."

"I accept your gesture, and I graciously accept your good intentions."

Lin Feng said with a chuckle, directly snatching the tea set from Lu Bailing's hands.

Seeing that Lin Feng was very satisfied, Lu Bailing immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, in this way, we are square, and I don't owe you anything anymore."

"Mm, you don't owe me anymore," Lin Feng nodded.

Lu Bailing then continued: "Then next, we should talk about something else."

"Something else? What do you mean? You still have something to say?" Lin Feng asked.

Lu Bailing nodded, then said very seriously: "Mr. Lin, to tell you the truth, what happened last night has almost left me with psychological trauma. If you hadn't stepped in to help me in time, I definitely would have been in big trouble; that detestable guy might have raped and then killed me."

"So after thinking it over, I feel I must find an expert to protect me. Only in this way can my personal safety be guaranteed. And you are the expert I have set my sights on!"

"Mr. Lin, can you be my bodyguard?"

After Lu Bailing finished speaking, she looked at Lin Feng with great anticipation.

Lin Feng, however, said irritably: "Last night, I made one phone call and summoned the people from Dragon Soul to Jinshi Bar, and even the highest person in charge and General Captain of the Dragon Soul Branch, Xiao Jian, arrived on the scene. Don't you understand what this implies?"

"I certainly understand. Mr. Lin, you must be one of the high-level figures in Dragon Soul. Asking you to be my bodyguard is indeed making a mountain out of a molehill; it's simply using a butcher's knife to slaughter a chicken," Lu Bailing said.

"Since that's the case, you still dare to make such a request in front of me?" Lin Feng said irritably.

Lu Bailing said with a smile: "But as far as I know, not every high-level figure in Dragon Soul has official business to attend to; some people are actually quite idle. Perhaps Mr. Lin, you are such a person. Since that's the case, Mr. Lin, you might be interested in earning some extra money?"

"Stop with the wild thoughts. Even if I really wanted to earn extra money, my price is not something you could afford," Lin Feng said.

"Thirty million!" Lu Bailing said without hesitation.

"Annual salary?" Lin Feng asked.

"Mm!" Lu Bailing nodded vigorously.

"Too little. Thirty million isn't even enough to fill the gaps in my teeth," Lin Feng shook his head.

"Thirty million isn't enough? Mr. Lin, you are too greedy... Then, then fifty million!" Lu Bailing said again.

"Fifty million is still too little. If you want me to do things for you and want to use money to buy me off, at the very least it would have to be one hundred million, and that one hundred million wouldn't be an annual salary, but a monthly salary," Lin Feng said.

"You damn..."

Lu Bailing shouted in shock, and Lin Feng immediately let out an "mm," his brow furrowing with a *crack* sound.

Lu Bailing hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, and only after a moment did she say, "Mr. Lin, please don't misunderstand, I wasn't scolding you, I was just... just too shocked."

Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "You may go; there is nothing left for me to discuss with you."
