Chapter 183: Human Player!

Chapter 183: Human Player!

Zhang Lin had never seen such a large eel before. It was practically the size of a snake! If he hadn't known it was an eel, he would have mistaken it for a snake at first glance.

However, the eel had already been killed and was soaking in a medicinal solution. The fresh cut on its flesh indicated that it had only recently died.

Special Ancient Eel: This eel seemed to have lived for an unknown number of years in the forest. It was just discovered and captured by a tanned old farmer and is now soaking in a special medicinal solution. It is a highly nourishing delicacy. Price: 2,000,000 RMB/1 eel (Limited to 1/1).

Zhang Lin read the description and couldn't help but think, "Impressive, tanned old farmer!"

Previously, the special medicinal ginseng was also discovered by a tanned old farmer.

And now, this eel was discovered by the same farmer.

What kind of extraordinary person is this tanned old farmer? If this weren't a background NPC in the game, Zhang Lin would have wanted to meet such a farmer.

But, 2,000,000 RMB for an eel? Isn't that a bit too expensive?

Is it supposed to be a century-old eel spirit?

Despite his doubts, Zhang Lin quickly spent 2,000,000 RMB and clicked to purchase the eel. From past experience, he knew that the more expensive an item was in the game, the more extraordinary it would be.

No matter the price, it would always be worth it.

After all, the eel had lived in the forest for an unknown number of years, possibly even a century.

Of course, this was just his imagination. If it really had become a spirit, that would be something else entirely.

Congratulations, you have spent 2,000,000 RMB to purchase a special ancient eel!

"Your account... spent 2,000,000.00 RMB, remaining balance: 1,204,525.44 RMB."

He used his personal card to buy the eel. In such cases, if he went through the farm's accounts, the financial department would have a hard time explaining a 2,000,000 RMB eel.

It was better to avoid the hassle altogether.

Earlier, he had received a dividend of 5,000,000 RMB, but after corporate income tax of over 1,000,000 RMB and another 750,000 RMB in taxes, he was left with just over 3,000,000 RMB. Now, he only had a little over 1,000,000 RMB left.

This was why so many people tried to evade taxes.

Thinking about it, it was almost time for Lishui Farm to pay its quarterly taxes. The entrance fee tax was 13%, and while crops received subsidies, the farm still had to pay 9% in taxes. Other profit points were taxed at 25%, which meant the total tax for the quarter could exceed 10,000,000 RMB.

If he wanted to take these funds as dividends, he would have to pay taxes again.

The highest tax-paying company in Youcheng paid around 40,000,000 RMB in a year.

So, at next year's Youcheng Business Summit, he might not be sitting in the second row but could very well be in the front row, possibly even at the head of the table.

However, looking at the meager 1,000,000 RMB in his account, he planned to withdraw another 20,000,000 RMB next month.

A man always needed some money in his pocket.

Zhang Lin got up from his desk and headed straight to the core area's warehouse, eager to see the properties of the 2,000,000 RMB eel.

When he arrived at the warehouse, he saw the eel soaking in a glass bottle with floating medicinal herbs.

He picked it up and read the description:

Special Ancient Eel: Quality 1

This is a special ancient eel that has lived for an unknown number of years, seemingly containing a unique essence. Special Effects: 1. Renal Strengthening +1. 2. Blood Tonifying and Beauty Enhancement +1. 3. Muscle and Bone Strengthening +1! 4. Brain Nourishment and Intelligence Boost.

Note: The effects of this ancient eel may interact with other medications, so do not consume it with other herbs!

After reading the description, Zhang Lin understood why the eel was so expensive. For many people, 2,000,000 RMB was absolutely worth it.

Just the Muscle and Bone Strengthening +1 and Brain Nourishment and Intelligence Boost +1 would be worth 2,000,000 RMB to the wealthy.

The Blood Tonifying and Beauty Enhancement +1 would be irresistible to a rich and beautiful woman.

And the Renal Strengthening +1? Any man with the means would not hesitate to spend the money.

So, in a way, it was worth 2,000,000 RMB.

But, since he didn't have a girlfriend, was it a bit too much to consume such a powerful supplement?

After a moment's thought, he decided to eat it.

After all, it was about becoming stronger, not just a supplement.

Currently single, but will I have a girlfriend in the future?

To make his future girlfriend stronger, isn't that a reasonable goal?

With that thought in mind, he walked toward the office center, holding a jar. Just as he arrived, he saw his mom.

Lin Yan looked at the eel in his hands, surprised. "Xiao Lin, is this a snake or an eel?"

"Eel!" Zhang Lin explained.

"It's so big, this is a good thing. Let's take it home for lunch, and I'll cook it for you!" Lin Yan said with a smile. "Eating this will ensure you have a son for your first child!"

She said this with a hint of excitement.

"..." Zhang Lin didn't know how to respond to that, as it was a bit too far-fetched.

However, taking it home to cook was the right thing to do.

So, he placed the jar directly in the Mercedes S-Class, planning to drive it back home later.

As noon approached, his mom called him.

He left the office and got into the Mercedes S-Class with his mom.

But as soon as they got in, she took out her phone and made a call. "Yaoyao, Auntie is going to cook something special for lunch. Please come over, and I'll have Xiao Lin pick you up!"

"..." Zhang Lin was taken aback.

After hanging up, Lin Yan said, "This eel is good for both men and women. Such a large one is rare, so I invited Fu Yao to share it. I told her you'd pick her up, and she said you know where to find her."

Zhang Lin naturally knew where to find her, at the high school.

The car quickly reached the neighborhood parking lot, and the Mercedes S-Class with the LY888 license plate caught the attention of the residents.

Many in the neighborhood knew about this Mercedes S-Class, and the well-informed knew it was associated with Liyuan Farm. Those less informed were curious about the owner.

As Lin Yan got out of the car, she took the jar with the eel and urged Zhang Lin to pick up Fu Yao.

"Mom, don't add any other herbs to the eel. It's expensive, and adding other herbs would be a waste," Zhang Lin reminded her, recalling the system's notes. He didn't want to waste the 2 million he had spent.

"Got it, go pick up Fu Yao," Lin Yan urged again.

Zhang Lin headed to the high school, sending a message to the girl when he reached the school gate.

Soon, he saw her in her high school uniform running out and quickly approaching the car. She got into the passenger seat.

As soon as she saw Zhang Lin, she asked with a joyful smile, "Uncle, what did Auntie cook?"

"Something good, it can beautify and nourish the skin!" Zhang Lin said with a smile.

"Really? Then take me home to change first," Fu Yao said, looking at her school uniform. She didn't want to be recognized in it.

"Okay!" Zhang Lin nodded and drove to the Triangle Square, where he couldn't enter with the car due to the crowd. Fu Yao got out and ran home.

A short while later, she returned wearing a pure white dress, looking like a blooming flower in spring. Her youthful charm was quite captivating, and many onlookers couldn't help but be drawn to her.

After she got back in the car, Zhang Lin drove back to the neighborhood.

When they arrived home, he could smell a delicious aroma.

"Uncle, it smells so good!" Fu Yao said, surprised.

"Fu Yao's here?" Lin Yan heard Fu Yao's voice and came out of the kitchen with a smile. "The eel is already stewing. It will be ready soon, just wait a moment."

Lin Yan had prepared many delicious dishes for lunch, and naturally, the eel was the main attraction. Fu Yao was surprised when she saw it. "Is this an eel? It's so big!"

"Yes, it's a good thing. Fu Yao, eat more of it!" Lin Yan said with a smile, serving her a bowl.

Zhang Lin had already started eating, filling a large bowl and enjoying the taste. He knew how delicious this eel was.

This large eel was enough for the three of them, even if he ate his fill.

With the first bite, he found the eel tasted great, with a special aroma from the stewing process. The meat was infused with a subtle herbal scent, making it even more delicious.

He couldn't help but eat hurriedly.

"Auntie, Uncle, this eel is so delicious!" Fu Yao said after a few bites, unable to resist praising it.

"Have more, there's plenty. This can beautify and nourish the skin, and it ensures you have a son," Lin Yan said with a smile.

"Ah..." Fu Yao's face turned red with embarrassment. How did the conversation turn to having children? She looked at Zhang Lin with a pleading gaze.

Zhang Lin smiled and said, "Mom, for having a boy, the man needs to eat more, right?"

"Women need to eat too!" Lin Yan said, adding more to Fu Yao's bowl.

Fu Yao could only lower her head like an ostrich, completely unable to participate in the conversation. However, while eating the eel, she couldn't help but sneak a glance at Zhang Lin.

After all, she really admired this uncle. He was handsome and capable! The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. How did eating eel make her think about this?

Zhang Lin quickly finished his first bowl of eel and immediately got a second.

It was so delicious.

As he ate the eel, he felt a warm current flow from his stomach to his waist, and it felt very comfortable. He realized it must be the special effect of the eel. His entire body felt great, and he knew it was the effect of the "Strengthen Kidneys +1" and "Strengthen Bones +1" kicking in.

This feeling was really pleasant, and the benefits were clearly noticeable.

He wondered when the dark-skinned old farmer in the game would catch another one, so he could buy it.

"Uncle, I feel a tingling sensation on my face, like someone is giving me a massage!" Fu Yao said, clearly surprised. The beauty and nourishing effects of the eel were already showing.

However, such a noticeable effect made her wonder if the eel was really enchanted. But that didn't make sense; if it were truly enchanted, it wouldn't have been caught by an old farmer.

Zhang Lin was thinking when his expression suddenly turned grim. The warm current was still there, but it seemed to have an additional destination, flowing to his lower abdomen. Something was off, and he felt a change in his body.

His lower abdomen was uncomfortably swollen.

What the hell was going on?

At that moment, a game notification appeared:

[You seemed to have forgotten the warning. Using the special eel along with the medicinal wine, which was steeped with special herbs, caused a special reaction. This reaction seems to enhance a certain ability, but it has led to an awkward situation. You will need to find a way to resolve this issue yourself, or it might lead to an even worse outcome...]



[Please remember to read the warnings next time!]



Zhang Lin was stunned by the game notification.

He had seen the warning about not adding other herbs and had specifically told his mother to avoid any mishaps. Who knew the medicinal wine counted as a herb?

He drank the medicinal wine every morning, and it had been so long, how could it still cause a conflict? The medicinal wine had an attribute that could make women beg for mercy.

Could this be a similar attribute, causing a special reaction? Was this just a cruel joke?

Moreover, the situation was awkward, and it hurt.

"Xiao Lin, what's wrong?" Lin Yan noticed her son's discomfort and asked, seeing the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Uncle, are you feeling unwell?" Fu Yao asked, her face filled with concern.

"No... nothing!" Zhang Lin quickly got up and ran to his room.

What the hell was happening?

This scene left Fu Yao and Lin Yan puzzled. At first, they didn't pay much attention, but after a moment, Lin Yan hurriedly said to Fu Yao, "Yao Yao, go check on him."

Fu Yao nodded, worried, and followed him into the room. As soon as she entered, she saw Uncle taking off his pants and witnessed something she shouldn't have.

"Ahh..." Fu Yao gasped, her face turning bright red.

Just as Zhang Lin was speechless, another urgent notification appeared in his mind.

"Damn it."
