Chapter 715: How about we make a bet?

~13 min read 2,595 words

At the Desert Base, it was eight o'clock in the evening.

Lin Feng saw Eunuch Shi again.

I don't know why, but Eunuch Shi had become Shi Yuniang, yet Lin Feng liked to call her Eunuch Shi.

Could it be that I have the potential to be an emperor? Otherwise, why would I want a father-in-law nearby?

Although this father-in-law is fake.

"Eunuch Shi, are you going to the training camp or not?"

Lin Feng asked while sipping tea with Eunuch Shi.

The tea was brewed by Chen Yu.

Behind Eunuch Shi stood Luoyan and Xiuhua.

Eunuch Shi didn't directly answer Lin Feng's question, but said, "This tea isn't Snow Kiln, is it?"

Lin Feng pouted, "If you want to drink it, there isn't any yet!"

Eunuch Shi was relieved now.

Even the tea she used to treasure, "Snow Horn Dragon," she no longer wanted to drink.

Moreover, thinking about it now still makes her feel a bit nauseous.

This shows that Eunuch Shi, both physically and psychologically, acknowledges that she is indeed a woman.

"Dear, do you want me to go or not?"

Eunuch Shi asked with a smile.

Lin Feng also didn't answer directly, but glanced at Eunuch Shi's new residence.

Although she isn't truly the big boss.

But the fish, goose, moon, and flower still acknowledge her status.

Although on the surface everyone says they're sisters, in reality there is still a hierarchy.

Therefore, where she lives naturally cannot be inferior to Bi Yue's.

Taking this into account, Lin Feng specially prepared such a room for her.

"Are you still accustomed to living here?"

Lin Feng lifted his tea cup, took a sip, and asked with a smile.

"Sigh~"

Eunuch Shi sighed, "I've long wanted to go out for a walk; staying here every day is like being in prison."

"That's true, but it's your freedom; I haven't restrained you!"

"Who said there isn't?"

"However, staying underground for a long time is good for the skin; look, your skin has turned white."

"It's pallid, right?"

"No way!"

Luoyan and Xiuhua, standing behind Eunuch Shi, grew increasingly annoyed as they listened.

Listening to these two talk, why do I feel so tired?

Clearly something that could be settled in a sentence or two, yet they insist on dragging in other matters.

Then they use those other matters to allude to the question just raised.

It seems as if answering directly would be somewhat beneath their dignity.

Without a few twists and turns in their thinking, they absolutely couldn't say such things.

The two exchanged a glance.

Finally Luoyan couldn't help but say, "Lin Feng, I and Xiuhua want to go in place of the father-in-law!"

Xiuhua immediately nodded.

Lin Feng sized up the two.

No wonder they're the beauties selected by Eunuch Shi.

In terms of looks, they're only slightly inferior to Qi Yao, Han Xiang, and Yun Luan.

About the same as Liu Huixi.

Of course, at Lin Feng's level, he values outward appearance the most.

Aesthetic taste changes with experience, time, age, and so on.

Eunuch Shi furrowed her brows.

Luoyan saw Eunuch Shi's expression and hurriedly knelt down.

Eunuch Shi's brows furrowed even tighter, and she coldly said, "Why are you kneeling? Get up quickly! Things aren't the same as before."

Then Eunuch Shi smiled and said to Lin Feng, "Since they want to go, let them go."

"Others just won't join in the fun."

"What training camp, all that fighting and killing, basking in the sun every day—it's bad for my skin."

As Eunuch Shi spoke, she raised an orchid finger, pinching a needle at the tip.

Lin Feng shook his head, "It's not about training new recruits; this time you're going to manage, just moving your lips is enough."

Eunuch Shi hesitated, then said, "All right! I agree."

"Whoosh~"

Lin Feng seemed to hear three sighs.

Chen Yu, Luoyan, and Xiuhua all let out a breath at the same time.

Eunuch Shi then said, "You three go out! I want to have a private talk with him."

Chen Yu, Luoyan and and Xiuhua hurriedly left.

After leaving, they also closed the door.

As soon as the three left, Eunuch Shi immediately sat beside Lin Feng, "Dear, whatever you want me to do, I will do it."

"Even if you want to destroy Little Japan, I can personally do it!"

"Then seventy, eighty years ago, where did you go?"

Lin Feng asked curiously.

He thought that if he had time-traveled several decades earlier and possessed his current abilities,

then Little Japan would probably no longer be Little Japan now.

Eunuch Shi said: "In prosperous times antiques, in chaotic times gold. Back then, I did not have such wealth."

"And you know, people are afraid of death!"

"Even if the needle in my hand is extremely sharp, it's not as powerful as a bullet!"

"Back then I hid all my possessions, but they were still discovered, after exhausting all my efforts..."

Eunuch Shi opened up and talked about the past situation.

He was not completely idle.

Originally his wealth now would have been even richer.

At least half was taken out to support some forces at that time.

But the result was that he raised a pack of white-eyed wolves.

Then Eunuch Shi felt heartbroken and felt very powerless.

So he hid himself during those turbulent times.

Eunuch Shi could not change the overall situation.

Actually, it's because she herself is a person of this historical river.

But Lin Feng is not.

If humanity throughout history were compared to a pool of water, Eunuch Shi is merely a small droplet in it.

Even if he jumps out of the water surface and falls back, he can only cause ripples.

But Lin Feng is not.

He is not the water in that pool, but a stirring stick.

If you want the water clear, it becomes clear; if you want it muddy, it becomes muddy.

"You've really been put through a lot!"

Lin Feng patted Eunuch Shi's hand to show comfort.

In this regard, Eunuch Shi is still worthy of respect.

At least she made an effort, taking out most of her own property.

Eunuch Shi shook his head, "Let's not talk about this; thinking about it now makes my heart ache!"

Lin Feng said with a smile: "Now there is such an opportunity..."

Before Lin Feng finished speaking, Eunuch Shi said: "All right! You'll listen to me! I've figured it all out."

"Really figured it out?"

"Mm-hmm!"

More than an hour later, it was ten o'clock at night.

"This place of yours is really great!"

Bai Ying toured Lin Feng's desert base, full of emotion.

The base's space is huge, with all kinds of facilities complete.

Without exaggeration, even if the outside world became an environment like Mars,

one could live in this base until old age and death.

"It's good! But it cost a lot of money, all burned by money."

Lin Feng also felt emotional.

The base is still under expansion, and the project will be fully completed only by the end of the year.

So far, tens of billions of US dollars have been spent.

However, this is merely a fraction of the value of the incoming gold.

Lin Feng is wealthy, not just ordinary wealth.

His spending of tens of billions of dollars is equivalent to an ordinary person spending a few tens of dollars.

Bai Ying knows Lin Feng is wealthy.

This is just Lin Feng putting on a front by pretending to be 13.

"Right!"

Lin Feng reminded Bai Ying, "The base's affairs also need to be kept secret."

Bai Ying gave Lin Feng a sideways glance, "If I didn't keep it secret for you, you'd already be arrested and cut into pieces."

Of course, Bai Ying was just joking.

If that were true, Lin Feng might have already not been staying at home.

Instead, he would have transferred all his assets out.

The two walked while chatting.

Unknowingly, they walked to the vicinity of Qi Yao's research room.

Lin Chang'e pulled Lin Shiyi as they ran over.

Hello, Bai Yiniang!

Lin Shiyi bowed and paid his respects to Bai Ying.

The little one looked very serious.

Lin Chang'e then threw her arms around Bai Ying's leg and said, "Bai Yiniang, your legs are so long!"

Bai Ying squatted down, patted Shi Yi's head, "Shi Yi, you are really polite!"

Then she looked at Lin Chang'e and said, "Little Chang'e, you're becoming more and more like your dad."

Lin Chang'e laughed, "I'm the one who doesn't look like dad! I only trick girls; everything I say is true, I'm honest."

Bai Yiniang, you are just like Lady Bai from the Legend of the White Snake, so beautiful!

Bai Ying smiled.

Lin Feng pretended to be angry and said, "Lin Chang'e, do you really talk about dad like that?"

Lin Chang'e shrugged, spread her hands and said, "Are you saying I'm telling untruths?"

"Exactly!"

Bai Ying glanced at Lin Feng, "He just knows how to coax girls. As for Shi Yi, Shi Yi, you must never imitate your dad."

Lin Shiyi nodded, "I will remember, Bai Yiniang."

Dad, Bai Yiniang, I still have homework, goodbye!

Having said that, he turned and ran away.

Lin Chang'e did not follow her departure, but held onto Bai Ying tightly.

She came over this time with a purpose.

Because she had heard about the training camp.

How fun that would be!

We must go and take a look!

So, we need to win over Bai Yiniang.

In this, Lin Chang'e has learned Lin Feng's skill.

Bai Ying took Lin Chang'e's little hand, and together with Lin Feng continued touring the Base.

Then they began to talk about manpower.

Lin Feng introduced Eunuch Shi and several of her subordinates.

"I didn't expect them to have lived this long!"

Bai Ying sighed.

Before the Enhancers appeared, if Lin Feng said Eunuch Shi had lived for over two thousand years, Bai Ying would find it hard to believe.

But now, people like Lin Feng, Bai Ying and others have long known that this world is no longer the original one.

Or put it another way.

That is, once one reaches a certain level, one can naturally see things ordinary people cannot.

Qin Shi Huang from more than two thousand years ago, and Emperor Wu of Han.

And various emperors throughout the ages, such clever people!

Why did they single‑mindedly pursue immortality, even ingesting poisonous elixirs?

Perhaps they truly witnessed something.

Unfortunately, they were all deceived.

Those who truly possess the art of immortality could never appear before everyone's eyes.

Bai Ying came this time to demand people.

At home, it is already the 31st, the last day of October.

If by the day after tomorrow Lin Feng still has no result, it will be a big trouble.

After witnessing Bi Yue's ability, Bai Ying became very interested in Eunuch Shi, Chen Yu, Luoyan and Xiuhua.

After touring the Base, the matters were settled.

Bai Ying checked the time, "I must go back immediately; in half an hour I will become a missing person and be investigated."

"Is it that strict now?"

Lin Feng frowned.

Bai Ying said helplessly, "It is a critical period now, nothing can be done."

Lin Feng understood Bai Ying's meaning.

She now has to take those four people back to report.

There are still matters to brief the four on the way.

Because Boss Lin's affairs here must be kept secret, they must not be blabbed by any of them.

Seeing Bai Yiniang about to leave, Lin Chang'e finally couldn't hold back and said, "Bai Yiniang, take me with you, okay? I'm also very capable!"

"Is that so?"

Bai Ying looked at Lin Chang'e, smiled, and said, "But you are still young, this is an adult matter."

Moreover, even if I wanted to take you to see, the rules wouldn't allow it!"

"Alas~"

Lin Chang'e sighed helplessly.

Being young has this drawback.

Adults look down from lofty heights, thinking we are inadequate.

"Bai Yiniang, how about this!"

Lin Chang'e's eyes shifted as she said, "I can spar with your team members; if I defeat them all, you promise to let me join, okay?"

Bai Ying shook her head and said, "This isn't a matter of ability, but of age."

Lin Chang'e finally gave up.

But she wouldn't give up.

"Dad, Bai Yiniang, I'm going to go play with Lin Shiyi, bye!"

Lin Chang'e waved at Lin Feng and Bai Ying, then ran off.

Seeing Lin Chang'e run off, Bai Ying smiled and said, "Your daughter is like a little adult."

Lin Feng shook his head with a smile and said, "She's the one who causes the most trouble; don't think she's given up—looks like she's planning something..."

Lin Feng recalled the previous time when Lin Chang'e pretended to be injured, dragging the Bei family twins, Bei Shuying and Bei Qingqian, to hijack the Moli No. 1,

and then blew up the newly repaired signature building of Japan.

This incident caused a huge uproar; once would have been enough, but it was blown up twice!

Too bad the Japanese side investigated thoroughly but found no culprit.

However, they already had a suspicion: it must have been done by an Enhancer.

Now that building has been repaired again, and they've assigned Enhancers to protect it 24/7.

Bai Ying listened to Lin Feng recount Lin Chang'e's glorious deeds, her eyes wide open.

She never expected that such a huge incident was actually caused by Lin Chang'e.

Not to mention Earthlings; even Martians wouldn't think such a tiny girl could have done it.

"Then you'd better keep an eye on her—make sure nothing happens."

Bai Ying reminded Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry! I'll keep an eye on her!"

Bai Ying saw the strange smile on Lin Feng's face and knew his words amounted to nothing.

Bai Ying didn't bring it up again.

Following behind Lin Feng, they went to see Eunuch Shi and the others.

In the room beside the laboratory that belongs to Lin Shiyi.

"Remember to knock before entering next time; you're the older sister, so you should know better."

Seeing Lin Chang'e push the door open and enter, Lin Shiyi frowned and said.

Lin Chang'e said, "Qi Yao Yiniang isn't here, so you don't have to be so strict, okay?"

"You look like a homeroom teacher right now."

Lin Shiyi remained silent.

He knew he must never argue with Lin Chang'e.

Once you start arguing, it never ends.

Women are just so troublesome!

Lin Chang'e walked up to Lin Shiyi and whispered, "You know about the training camp, right? Want to go check out the excitement?"

Lin Shiyi directly shook his head and said, "Not interested! If you want to go, go by yourself."

"Lin Shiyi, good eleven, come on! Let's go together!"

Lin Chang'e shook Lin Shiyi's arm, throwing a tantrum.

Lin Shiyi chuckled and said, "Lin Chang'e, you're dragging me along because something happened and someone took the blame for you, right?"

"Look at those brothers and sisters—you can only rely on me."

"Who says you can only rely on me?"

Lin Chang'e objected.

Lin Shiyi chuckled.

Lin Chang'e said, "You say I can only rely on you—how about we make a bet? I'll find someone else; if you lose, we'll go watch the excitement together, okay?"

Lin Shiyi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's bet then!"

He knew that if he didn't bet with Lin Chang'e, today—no, from now on—he'd never have peace.
