Chapter 57

Lin Yifan isn't a flamboyant, showy type, but that doesn't mean he won't act showy.

If they could now find each other offline, he might still be a bit wary.

After all, two fists can't fight four hands; he is indeed not weak now, but he hasn't reached the point of taking on a hundred alone, and he still has that self-awareness.

If the other side brings a crowd, even if he could escape, he'd likely have to drink a pot.

Unfortunately, now nobody can find each other offline, so what does he have to fear?

As for the day when they can finally find each other...

Thinking of the imminent mosquito swarm disaster and the upcoming rainstorm disaster, who knows when in the year of the monkey and month of the horse they'll be able to meet offline.

Whether they can survive this disaster after another remains unknown!

So Lin Yifan isn't the slightest bit panicked!

And the members of the Heaven and Earth Society were also angered enough by him to be sharp-tongued; even the previously silent Father of God finally couldn't sit still.

He actively took to the chat channel, naming Lin Yifan directly and saying:

"Lin Yifan, with great power comes great responsibility; as a strong one of our district, I don't know if you're the strongest, but I still admire you."

"But as a strong one, you ought to have the responsibility of a strong one; everyone in this district are our fellow countrymen, since you have the ability to help everyone, you should naturally help, not stand by idly, and even fleece us big guys."

"Of course I also know that some brothers in our association hate evil like enemies, and in a moment of indiscretion offended you, but those brothers merely still have a conscience and can't stand your cold-blooded ruthlessness; why would you bear a grudge against all of us?"

"As for your refusal to trade, that's your prerogative, I'm not qualified to judge, but I hope you'll consider the bigger picture a bit more and not be so absolute in your actions."

Lin Yifan saw the Father of God's post and was almost laughing from anger.

Look!

He's cold-blooded and ruthless! He has no conscience!

They just can't stand his actions, so they came out to speak up for justice!

A few offhand words directly nailed Lin Yifan hard to the pillar of shame.

If this were the network-savvy Earth Star, by now he'd probably have become a rat that everyone shouts at online!

But now, what does he have to fear?

However, he had no intention of speaking to mock; he simply replied lightly with a few words:

"I'm just absolute; what can you do about it?"

"I'm putting my words out here today: anyone who joins the Heaven and Earth Society is my enemy."

Afterward, he simply closed the chat channel and gave no further response.

On the other hand, a message from Ruan Qingtian suddenly came through.

"Captain, I have a close female friend I've known for over ten years on Earth Star; she says she has something to discuss with you—do you want to communicate with her? It seems related to the heavenly disaster."

Lin Yifan raised his eyebrows; he really hadn't expected Ruan Qingtian's luck to be this good—even her close friend is in the same district.

Although Lin Yifan currently doesn't want to meet too many people, but since she's Ruan Qingtian's close friend, he ought to give his teammate face, so he readily replied:

"Sure, give me her ID, and I'll private chat her."

Lin Yifan's private chat channel is always 999+: either people send messages to insult him, or to beg him for things, or just want to get something for nothing.

Of course, there are also a very few who want to exchange supplies with him, but that group is small.

When Lin Yifan has free time, he'll skim the private chat; if he sees something he likes, he'll also proactively suggest communication and trade.

But most of the time it's just meaningless chatter, so he's looking at private channel messages less and less.

Fortunately, here one can also search for people by ID.

"Chen Rainuo?"

Lin Yifan saw that name and was momentarily stunned.

Because he once had a classmate with that same name.

She was even a big campus belle!

However, although she was a campus belle, she was also an ambitious woman; in school she was the epitome of excellence, with top-notch grades and conduct.

Back then, Lin Yifan was just an ordinary poor kid from a rural background; although he got into that university by his own ability, he actually didn't quite fit in with the other students.

Because he was poor, he hadn't seen the flashy world, so he couldn't really chat with most classmates.

Naturally, he was also intentionally or unintentionally isolated!

However, this Chen Rainuo was the exception; her family background was good, it's said her family owns a company, assets in the tens of billions, so logically she should be a lofty pampered princess.

But in reality, she could stay gentle with everyone, Lin Yifan included.

Even when Lin Yifan's application for financial aid was blocked, it was Chen Rainuo who spoke up for him, enabling him to successfully obtain the aid and graduate from university.

Although later Lin Yifan expressed his wish to repay Chen Rainuo's kindness, he was directly refused.

After that, the two had no further contact.

That said, Chen Rainuo and he had no interaction; he wanted some connection, but although she was gentle, she actually kept distance from anyone.

The same applied to him: he simply couldn't find an opportunity, and Chen Rainuo was the interaction.

But regardless, for Lin Yifan, Chen Rainuo counts as his benefactor; he's always remembered that favor and wants to repay it if he gets the chance.

But he never imagined that favor still hasn't been repaid!

Earth Star actually just disappeared, and he, together with all humanity, was flung into this Survival Realm.

He originally thought this favor could never be repaid, but he didn't expect to now encounter someone with the exact same name and surname.

He also doesn't know whether these two are the same person.

If it really is Chen Rainuo, then this unresolved karma can be understood, and it could be considered a good thing.

Lin Yifan quickly found Chen Rainuo's ID and then sent her a private chat message:

"Are you the Chen Rainuo from Southern University?"

That Chen Rainuo is also waiting for his message; upon seeing it, she immediately replied:

"It's me, do you know me?"

At this time, Chen Yunuo had contacted several alumni of Southern University, preparing to establish a new union.

However, their strength was weak; basically they could only struggle at the subsistence line, so even if Chen Yunuo was ambitious, she was ultimately helpless.

Then she thought of Lin Yifan; she remembered that name, but wasn't sure if it was the same person.

Unfortunately, she sent many private messages, but Lin Yifan never replied.

One could say he hadn't replied to anyone's private messages!

This left her somewhat helpless, but she didn't expect that her close female friend actually knew Lin Yifan.

This really was an unexpected joy!

And what she liked at this moment was that Lin Yifan actually knew Southern University!

Moreover, he knew her, which was enough to prove that he also came from Southern University; thus, the chance of getting Lin Yifan's help would be even greater!
