Chapter 59: Then Consider It a Return of the Favor
Lin Yifan's words were very clear; he is willing to support the establishment of a new gang.
But his purpose is also straightforward: to use it against the "Heaven and Earth Society."
He offered no concealment, no deception, and was completely open, which surprised Chen Yunuo a bit.
Of course, since Lin Yifan is willing to help her set up a gang, he naturally has no reason to refuse.
Both aim to deal with the "Heaven and Earth Society," so their goals are essentially the same.
However, Chen Yunuo is somewhat self‑aware; having her start a guild on her own makes her feel rather insecure.
So she couldn't help but try to persuade, saying:
"Lin Yifan, why go through all this trouble? If you become the Leader of this union yourself, you can keep all the guild's power in your hands. Why risk supporting someone else's guild?"
"Even if it were me, I can't promise that once the guild is up, I will always put your interests first!"
"I didn't need you to guarantee my interests in the first place." Lin Yifan remained calm, sending a message:
"Anyway, stop saying so much; just answer me—do you really dare?"
"If you dare, we'll cooperate; if you don't, let's pretend this was never mentioned, and you'll remain my senior."
"Considering you helped me back in school, if you ever need anything, I will still help you."
This is a perfect opportunity!
Chen Yunuo is ambitious and naturally knows how to seize chances.
After thinking carefully, she still couldn't bear to let a good chance slip away, so she firmly replied:
"Fine! I'll establish the guild. If it can grow strong under your support, I promise that any items you need or tasks you require, as long as they don't disrupt the guild's operation, I will do my utmost for you."
"Your words are enough!" Lin Yifan replied with a message, then added:
"The rest is up to you; if you need any reasonable support, let me know, and if I can manage it, I'll try to fulfill it."
Chen Yunuo didn't hesitate and immediately began to calculate what support she needed now.
After thinking it over, she sent a message:
"I do need some Basic Supplies support, but since we're partners, I can't just take yours for free. I have a special Blueprint that needs appraisal to confirm its details."
"I want to trade this Blueprint for a portion of the Strong Mosquito Repellent, to attract new members. Would you agree?"
At the same time, Chen Yunuo also sent an item notice.
【Special Blueprint】 (requires an appraiser or an Appraisal Card to identify the item information)
Item grade: currently unknown (at least Superior or above)
Since it's at least a Superior‑grade Blueprint, it is indeed a good thing.
Lin Yifan was a bit surprised; he hadn't expected Chen Yunuo's luck to be so good that she could obtain such an item.
However, he is not an appraiser and doesn't have an Appraisal Card, so he doesn't know when he could get this Special Blueprint identified.
Nevertheless, a Superior‑grade item is valuable for them, fresh newcomers to the Survival Realm.
And Strong Mosquito Repellent is also a good item, but once the mosquito swarm crisis passes, it loses its value.
Chen Yunuo's willingness to trade the Special Blueprint for Strong Mosquito Repellent clearly aims to lock in this moment and run a promotional push for the guild to attract members.
So Lin Yifan wasn't stingy; he checked his remaining Strong Mosquito Repellent and saw he still had four to five hundred units.
He simply took out 100 units to trade with Chen Yunuo and messaged:
"These 100 units of Strong Mosquito Repellent are for the Blueprint trade; besides that, I have about 360 more that I can authorize you to sell."
"For the authorized Strong Mosquito Repellent, you may set any price; I only want special items such as Ceramic, cement, Glass, or various Blueprints, spirit crystals."
"You can give me those later at your pace; no rush. Of course, if you can't sell them, that's fine—just return the leftovers to me, and I'll handle them myself. So, will you dare to make this deal?"
Chen Yunuo stared at his words and was completely stunned.
She knows her own affairs; her Special Blueprint does have value, but would it really be worth 100 units of Strong Mosquito Repellent?
Of course not!
Especially at this stall now, although the mosquito swarm disaster hasn't arrived yet, since it's said to occur in three days, it will certainly happen tonight.
At this moment, Strong Mosquito Repellent's value far exceeds anything else!
Yet Lin Yifan offered her 100 units and authorized the remaining 360 for her to sell, a generosity she found hard to imagine.
After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but message:
"Hundreds of units of Strong Mosquito Repellent, and you're willing to hand them to me to handle? Aren't you afraid I'd hoard them?"
Lin Yifan said, "There's nothing to fear; it's just some supplies. If they're gone, I might lose a little, but it won't cost my life."
"And using these things to see a person's true nature is worthwhile. Of course you needn't worry; if you really want to hoard them, go ahead."
"Consider it repayment for the favor I owed you when we were in school, but from now on we're strangers. If you don't cross me, that's fine; if you cross me directly, don't blame me for not remembering old favors."
Lin Yifan is a person who remembers favors; anyone who helped him, he will remember and repay.
But that doesn't mean a favor can bind him for life; once he feels he has settled it, the rest are strangers.
Even if Chen Yunuo is the campus beauty, it's the same!
Chen Yunuo, upon seeing Lin Yifan's words, was momentarily dazed.
Actually, she didn't have a strong impression of Lin Yifan; the reason she intervened in his stolen scholarship back then was simply because the thief was her enemy.
She hadn't expected that after two or three years, Lin Yifan would still remember that favor.
He even was willing to put out such a large amount of supplies to repay that favor.
But now it's clear that Lin Yifan's favor is far more important than this batch of Strong Mosquito Repellent; she naturally couldn't pick the sesame and drop the watermelon.
So she seriously sent a message, saying:
"I won't embezzle these supplies; I will use them properly to build the guild we want."
"Watch me! I won't disappoint you!"
Lin Yifan: "Then I'll be watching with anticipation!"
After the deal was finished, Lin Yifan didn't say much more to Chen Yunuo, because he suddenly remembered something.
He actually forgot Golden Eagle Mao Mao!
