Chapter 648

~6 min read 1,182 words

Zhang Lin said this also to give everyone a heads-up, a mental preparation in advance.

At the same time, he wanted to lay some groundwork for Zhao Lusi.

He knew that if his instructions were followed, Yang Lusi should have at least a fifty or sixty percent chance of breaking through this mechanism.

Zhang Lin deliberately said thirty percent just to stir up the emotions of everyone present.

Once the officials heard his words, if Yang Lusi solved the mechanism, her standing would be correspondingly elevated.

For this junior sister who always called him senior brother, Zhang Lin would still help wherever he could.

Besides, this sort of thing works subtly and doesn't require much effort.

The concept of a thirty percent chance quickly made its way back to the archaeological team.

And upon hearing the information coming through the walkie-talkie, everyone's expression turned very ugly.

Especially Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi.

They had come this far, not to mention how much they had given, but since this checkpoint was right before their eyes, like a gate leading to a new world—

They were standing right at the gate, yet they could only look at this door knowing there was merely a thirty percent chance of opening it.

Anyone in their place would be unwilling to accept it, but they had no one to blame—after all, it was their own lack of ability.

No one thought Zhang Lin was merely a simple storyteller—except for himself.

But no one would bring up such a question either; everyone understood that without all kinds of experiences, one could never tell a story so vividly.

Yang Lusi looked at everyone's disappointed faces and couldn't help saying at this moment: "Don't hang your heads. So what if it's only a thirty percent chance? As long as there's hope, even a ten percent chance, we have to try."

Wang Kai shook his head and said: "Team Leader Yang, the reasoning is sound, but isn't Mr. Zhang thinking too highly of us?"

At this moment, Hu Ba slapped the back of Wang Kai's head again and rebuked him sharply: "That thirty percent chance was definitely Mr. Zhang talking about Team Leader Yang. How could people like you and me ever make such an attempt?"

This time Wang Kai didn't get angry; instead, he nodded.

He thought Hu Ba was probably right. Among the Second Archaeological Team, whoever was the most capable, whoever was the most respected, it was absolutely the current head of the Banzhang—!

The team leader this time, Yang Lusi!

When Zhang Lin said that thirty percent chance, he should have already taken everything into consideration.

Yang Lusi had no mood to dwell on this topic; she knew that even Zhang Lin hadn't spoken in absolutes, only saying a seventy or eighty percent chance.

So she felt that the thirty percent chance her senior brother gave her was really too high.

Especially after she had already become aware of the gap between herself and him.

Moreover, regarding what Zhang Lin had just said, Yang Lusi had an One Layer Deeper understanding—to be precise, a worry.

What Yang Lusi feared now was this: was the reason Zhang Lin phrased it that way because there was a limit to the number of attempts?

They couldn't try again and again, so the difficulty was therefore increased?

But no matter what she thought of, Yang Lusi felt that as team leader, at this critical juncture, the most important thing was not to worry.

But to Try Every Possible Way to encourage everyone!

Besides, regardless of whether Zhang Lin's thirty percent chance was meant for her, Yang Lusi had to shoulder this responsibility.

If they failed, then she would calmly accept the result.

Having thought this through, the corner of Yang Lusi's mouth curled into a slight smile as she looked at Wang Kai and said: "Wang Kai, weren't you just saying you wanted a drink of water? Not thirsty anymore?"

At these words, everyone in the archaeological team burst out laughing.

For a moment, Wang Kai didn't feel embarrassed anymore.

The reason Yang Lusi suddenly said this was, on one hand, to change the subject and pull everyone out of the tense atmosphere.

On the other hand, she also wanted to use this way to tell Wang Kai that the past was the past; it was just a small matter, and she hadn't even minded things like what happened before.

【Sigh….. that's why they say she's the head of the Banzhang, look at that bearing.】

【Looks and temperament in one, beauty and wisdom shining together.】

【Just look at my wife's bearing, hehehe!】

【Get lost, you shameless thing! Don't show that face you use to flirt with streamers.】

【What kind of person do you think is worthy of Boss Yang?】

【Need you ask? It absolutely has to be someone who reaches heaven and earth, brimful of learning, a dragon among men……】

【I suddenly thought of someone…..】

【Me too, want to type it out together?】

【Watch the formation, Boss Yang's name in front, that person's in back.】

【Right, put a heart in the middle.】

Shipping CP is never strange, and the same goes for livestream rooms.

No one knew about that layer of relationship between Zhang Lin and Yang Lusi; they only thought the two were talking across the air through official channels in two different livestream rooms, connected by the New Moon Restaurant as a medium.

But at this moment, the barrage was full of wild words, the formation unusually neat.

Inside the New Moon Restaurant, the audience's attention was drawn there at once; even when Zhang Lin picked up his water glass again, no one noticed.

Transit group 371729119

Fearing imagination, suddenly, most people's faces broke into an auntie smile.

Zhang Lin was just about to speak, glanced at those expressions, and froze on the spot, thinking, did you all eat something dirty?

Inside the second-floor office, if Sheng Sheng Man hadn't reacted quickly, that newly bought tablet would probably have been wrecked on the spot.

This bit of money meant nothing to Yin Nanfeng; she could afford to smash a hundred, a thousand of them.

The key was that if the commotion here was too loud, it could be heard outside.

Especially at such a juncture, who knew what kind of rumors might spread.

Never underestimate fans' ability to imagine.

Sheng Sheng Man held the tablet, shook her head helplessly, and said: "Boss, shipping CP is very common."

"Who told you I'm angry?!"

Sheng Sheng Sheng Man froze for a beat, then said, "I didn't say you were angry."

Yin Nanfeng: "..."

Ow-woo!

Before Zhang Lin even had time to glance at the livestream feed below, a wail rang out from inside the Crescent Moon Restaurant.

Zhang Lin looked over in surprise—it was that young Miss studying medicine.

"I disagree!" he heard her shout the very next moment.

Zhang Lin shook his head helplessly and said, "This book-friend, if something's come up at home, you can step out and deal with it—don't disturb the others listening to the book, thanks."
