The next day!
Cloud Street .
The townsfolk who queued for scallion pancakes were increasing . Especially now that Lin Fan's fame was getting bigger and bigger, practically everyone in Shanghai knew about the 'Master Lin' shop .
To many people, this Master Lin was a little strange . He already had so much fame but he still only ran a small shop . It was really quite strange .
Moreover, he only sold scallion pancakes and his secondary occupation was fortune-telling .
It could even be said to be exceptionally strange .
…
Fraud Tian sat at the entrance, smoking his cigarette . Looking at the increasing number of people, he felt an aching in his heart . These were all walking dollar bills . They could easily earn money from these people but it couldn't be helped since the kid was so stubborn . He would only sell ten servings of scallion pancakes a day . How much could they possibly earn from that?
But honestly, ever since Fraud Tian had started following that kid, he felt as if his life had become a lot more interesting . It was a huge difference from before .
But even this kid couldn't help him leave his single life . This made him a little disappointed .
It seemed that he would have to work hard on his own regarding that .
Noontime .
Lin Fan had completed all his work . He packed his fishing rod and started his car . He was about to go fishing again .
"Look after the shop for me . I'm going out . " He realized that fishing felt pretty good . It really could allow one to quieten one's heart .
But the slightly f*cked up part was that he hadn't fished up any legendary items yet . All he had been fishing up were strange and random things . That was pretty f*cked up .
Zhao Zhong Yang saw that Lin Fan was going to fish and instantly became excited . Then, he came forward shamelessly . "Brother Lin, bring me along, won't you? My fishing skills are pretty awesome . "
Lin Fan glanced at Zhao Zhong Yang . He definitely couldn't bring this guy along . If he fished up some big monster, it would probably scare this guy to death .
"No way . Just stay here and look after the shop . See ya!"
Then, he immediately left .
Fraud Tian, who was sitting at the entrance, chuckled . "Stop being lazy, kid . Our boss's lifestyle isn't something you can experience . "
Fraud Tian still held a grudge against Zhao Zhong Yang . He still remembered what had happened a while back . Hence, whenever the opportunity came up, he had to insult Zhao Zhong Yang .
"Fraud, are you trying to battle it out with me?" Zhao Zhong Yang had long felt that Fraud Tian had developed ill-intentions towards him .
But he wasn't bothered by it . He was a resourceful person .
As long as he slowly leaked out some information, he could guarantee that Fraud would immediately start sucking up to him .
…
By the river .
This time, Lin Fan chose a better location . There was no one around and no one would come across this place . He could peacefully fish .
He hooked on the bait, cast the rod, and sat there waiting quietly .
The water surface was very calm . He wondered what he would catch this time . At the same time, he was very curious . How did all these strange things come up? It didn't feel right .
Suddenly, he felt a tug on his rod . His face lit up .
It's here! This time, it was really quicker than usual .
I wonder what I'll get this time .
He really wanted to get a medicinal herb . The two types of herbs that he had accumulated were all good ingredients for pill-crafting but he didn't have enough types of herbs to craft the pill he wanted yet .
"It's here . Let me see what you'll give me this time!" Lin Fan was completely focused as he gazed forward, pulling his fishing rod .
"Hey, what's this?" A dark and swarthy object reflected the sunlight in front of him .
It looked like something good but then again, not really .
When the object reached his hands, he frowned . What is this thing?
However, he could feel a sense of power emanating from this pill .
"Dahuan pill . Increases power by 60 years' worth . "
He understood now . He hadn't expected to obtain a godly pill from the Shaolin monasteries of Wuxia films .
If he was completely weak and powerless, he would have been exhilarated but now, he just felt normal . After all, this wouldn't be of much use to him .
He pondered for a moment before deciding to swallow the pill anyway .
A burst of heat circulated around his body . Then, it disappeared like a drop of water entering the sea . It didn't even cause a ripple .
"Meaningless . Completely meaningless . " Lin Fan shook his head before casting his fishing rod again and quietly sitting in wait .
Time passed, minute by minute, second by second . Nothing got hooked .
"Greetings, Master Lin . " At that moment, a voice came from behind .
Lin Fan turned around curiously and saw an old-timer being supported by a lady as they stood before him .
"You are . . . ?" Lin Fan didn't recognize this old man but, seeing some silhouettes in the distance, he already had a rough idea . This old man wasn't simple . He even had bodyguards with him . He seemed to be an important person .
But whether or not he was important meant nothing to Lin Fan .
In Lin Fan's eyes, it was all the same .
"Master Lin, I'm the Chairman of IOA Human Genome Corporation . I'm here today because I'd like to discuss a business deal with Master Lin . " The old-timer's eyes had a fiery gleam to them .
To him, this Master Li was really too mystical . He was so mystical that it made them a little excited .
"IOA?" Lin Fan really didn't know what this corporation was supposed to be . But that gaze from the old man made him a little lost for words . It was as if this old man saw Lin Fan as some kind of treasure .
"IOA is a company which was established overseas . It supports human research . To us, humans are creatures with the most potential in this world . Every cell and every organ is perfectly made . I think, if we unveil the inner treasures of the human body, it would definitely bring about a huge change in human life . "
"For example, immortality…"
Lin Fan looked lifeless . He had been shocked by this old man's words .
To the old-timer, Lin Fan's expression was just what he had expected . Because no one could resist the allure of immortality .
The reason he was here this time was simple . He had developed an interest in Lin Fan's Chinese medical abilities, especially in his mystical pill-crafting . He felt that if he wanted to take his research one step further, he would require Master Lin's help .
At that moment, Lin Fan stood up .
A grin appeared on the old-timer's face . But in an instant, it vanished .
Lin Fan kept his fishing rod and looked at the old man alertly . "Sorry, but I'm not interested in multi-level marketing . You've found the wrong person…"
Then, he dusted off his pants before preparing to leave .
D*mn, that's dangerous . That's way too dangerous .
There are even old men coming out to scam people now . And he even talked about immortality . He must be trying to scam me into joining a criminal group .
