Chapter 8: Someone I Want to Protect with a Sword
The fourth day of the Lunar New Year, evening.
Xijin City is still as lively as yesterday.
Lin En returned to the Third Uncle's Local Cuisine Restaurant through the space wormhole of Fantong. He returned to the second floor with ease, and then looked at his third uncle and his partner who were still sleeping, feeling slightly relieved, and then sat down to think about what to do next.
"Tong Fan, where is my sign-in reward? Why is it not there? Did you swallow it?"
"How could that be, host? Didn't I send them all to you?"
"what?"
"Shut back and forth! Otherwise, do you think this system is working for you in vain?"
"........."
Lin En didn't get angry. After all, he was the one who took advantage of a loophole in the system. It made sense that it was not so easy to get system stuff for free.
"Fan Tong, can I still use [Sign In] like this in the future?"
“(. ? ? ?.) Ahem, let this system take a look, maybe it’s possible.”
"........."
At nine o'clock in the evening, the lights come on and the neon lights flicker.
In the center of Xijin City, there stands a luxurious building that reaches high into the sky. On the top floor of the building, a man in a fine suit is sitting leisurely in a comfortable massage chair. This is the most proud and enjoyable moment of his day.
Through the huge transparent glass windows, he could take in the beautiful scenery of the entire city. The brightly lit streets, the bustling crowds, and the high-rise buildings lined up one after another were all like a colorful painting unfolding before his eyes.
Looking at the bustling and noisy scene below, the man felt a strong sense of pride:
"This city belongs to me!"
He knew that the power and wealth he possessed made him the undisputed ruler of the city. Here, he could call the shots and decide the fate of countless people. This feeling of being in control of everything intoxicated him and made him unable to extricate himself.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. After getting the consent of the man in the suit, the door was slowly opened.
A sexy girl holding a bottle of red wine walked towards him slowly with a smile. The man in the suit knew that today was destined to be a sleepless night.
So he took the red wine handed over by the girl, drank it all, and then opened his legs wide and prepared...
But to his surprise, the sexy girl was not as impatient as usual.
"Is it a new trick?" The man in the suit was secretly happy and was looking forward to it.
Finally, the girl spoke.
"Guangshen Baili Group, Xijin Branch, General Manager Baili Tu, Baili Xin's nephew, came to Xijin City a year ago. With the assistance of the head office and some mysterious power, he became the uncrowned king of both the black and white worlds. Am I right?"
"You are not Lina! Assassin? Cop? Sent by Baili Jing? Who are you!" Baili Tu quickly came to his senses and glared at the girl, while his hand slowly groped behind his back.
"Swish!", a flying knife accurately pierced into the back of Baili Tu's hand.
"Aaaaaaaaaa..."
At the moment he screamed, another flying knife once again pierced deeply into the back of Baili Tu's other restless hand.
"Go ahead and scream. No one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out!" the girl said calmly.
"What do you want?" Baili Tu knew that the killer would not say much, and the person in front of him must want something from him.
"I want everything from you."
The girl's appearance began to change, and in an instant, she transformed into a man in a windbreaker with a gray and white bird beak, who was Lin En.
"Everything of mine, huh, you have a big appetite. Do you know that as the general manager of Xijin Baili Group, I..."
"Don't delay any longer. After you drink that glass of wine, your body no longer belongs to you. Now, the game has just begun. Mr. Baili Tu, you have to hold back!"
Lynn gracefully adjusted the single-frame glasses on his bird-beak mask, and then reached into his windbreaker, where there were many strange little gadgets.
"Let me feel it... It's not this one... It's not this one either..."
"Found it!" (Excited)
He held a syringe in his right hand and with a slight press of his thumb, the medicine inside spurted out.
"No...no!" Baili Tu tried to move his body, but he found it was completely useless. He could only watch the bird's beak getting closer and closer to him.
Epidemic doctor, Lin Sijiu is very serious!
.........
Three years later, [2012].
"Xiao En, don't get up yet. The sun is already burning your butt." On the second floor of the Sanjiu Flavor Local Food Restaurant, a young man was pulling the quilt on the bed with force.
"Ah hoo~"
"Brother Zhou Ping, today is Saturday, can't you let me sleep a little longer?" Eight-year-old Lin En rubbed the tears from the corners of his eyes, still looking sleepy.
Suddenly, a loud voice came from downstairs:
"Xiaoping, there are so many people here at noon today, come down and help!"
"Third uncle is here! Xiao En...you should wash up quickly, so you can wake up soon." After saying that, Zhou Ping quickly ran downstairs to help.
Lin En sighed lightly. It seemed impossible to stay in bed any longer, so she tidied up a little and went downstairs.
On the first floor.
The local restaurant is not big, with only six tables in total, but it is packed with people at the moment.
"Uncle San, table 3, give us a plate of fried tomatoes!"
"Uncle San, table 6, we want the special dish, fried potatoes with shredded ginger!"
"Uncle, why didn't you see my sister-in-law today?"
"It's because Tang is here! She went to help out at the Sunshine Welfare Home. You know she has deep feelings for those children!"
.........
"Tread! Tread! Tread!"
Lynn, wearing social Peppa Pig slippers, walked down slowly.
Ever since he "gently" shared his ideals with Baili Tu three years ago, he decided to follow Lin En wholeheartedly.
Baili Tu: (;′??Д??`) What can I do? He really is so sincere to me!
Zhou Ping has lived with Lin En for the past three years. The future swordsman has obviously become much more cheerful, at least... at least he is not so socially anxious in front of acquaintances.
As for his parents, Lin En called Baili Tu, who immediately went to do the job, and finally, Baili Tu's younger brother's younger brother's younger brother, Brother Long, greeted the two of them warmly every day and found them a good job of sweeping toilets all night.
"Sure enough, the original decision was the right one!" Lin En's mouth corners slightly raised.
Wealth, along with a higher vision, comes with a variety of resources. This was what Lin En lacked the most at the time, so he decided to talk to Baili Tu about his ideals, not because he knew the plot and wanted to get a piece of the pie from Baili Group and then become the richest man or something like that...
“??(???*)Hehehe…Hehehehehehehehe!”
"Xiao En, why are you grinning like an idiot? Your saliva is about to flow down." Zhou Ping suddenly appeared and asked Lin En.
"It's okay, Brother Zhou Ping, you go do your thing, I'll just take a stroll!"
"You...ah." Zhou Ping was speechless and felt helpless towards this mysterious younger brother.
Lin En found a seat at the counter, picked up the same old cadre teacup as his third uncle, and enjoyed it leisurely.
at the same time.
On the border of Daxia, on the turbulent sea, there were Yewu sailboats drifting with the waves.
There was an old man with a white beard inside. His breathing was disordered and black blood was constantly flowing from the corners of his eyes.
"Ahem, is that so..."
"In my life, there are people I want to protect with my sword..."
This was Wang Shang who had just used the [Eye of Time]. He closed his eyes tightly, fumbled for his cell phone from his pocket, and dialed an emergency number with one click.
After a short ring, a calm female voice sounded:
"Hey?!"
"Is Ye Fan with you? Ask him to help me..."
