Chapter 230: This Feature Has Finally Activated!

Lin Muxue immediately looked at Zhang Lin with a serious expression. "Can you not be so reckless? Don't you see where we are? A tourist could pass by at any moment."

"Senior Sister, does that mean it's okay if there are no tourists around?" Zhang Lin teased.

Lin Muxue huffed, "Isn't that the bare minimum? Anyway, don't even think about me joining in your foolishness."

"But what if there's a very private place where no one can find us, and it's exciting? Wouldn't you want to try it, Senior Sister?" Zhang Lin smiled and coaxed.

"???" Lin Muxue looked at him with confusion.

Zhang Lin took Lin Muxue's hand and walked in the opposite direction of the other senior disciples.

The Eight Trigram Array had many hidden places, not just the areas with mechanisms.

Only the employees recruited by the game system could enter those areas!

Even if you excluded these places, a slight adjustment to the Eight Trigram Array could reveal a very secret and even large space, completely enclosed and independent, where no one could enter.

This place was known as the Array Eye.

Even the employees recruited by the game system didn't know about it, let alone enter it.

In fact, only Zhang Lin knew about it.

"You're not really planning to do this here, are you?" Lin Muxue was getting anxious.

"I promise no one will find us. Don't you trust me, Senior Sister?" Zhang Lin continued to coax. "You know how many people have tried and failed to crack this Eight Trigram Array. They can't even go deep, let alone find the place we're going. That's the Array Eye. Even if they had ten years, they wouldn't find it."

"You're something else!" Lin Muxue, seeing his determination, felt a mix of frustration and a strange desire to try it.

At her age, nearly thirty, she hadn't expected to feel a bit excited about the idea of something thrilling.

Was she going crazy?

But it had something to do with the Eight Trigram Array's power!

After all, the sense of security it provided was immense, especially the Array Eye.

Even though she didn't understand array formations, she had seen movies and knew that the most powerful and secret part of any array was the Array Eye.

Zhang Lin led her through the Eight Trigram Array, pressing hidden mechanisms, causing walls to slide and new passages to appear.

He guided her through these new passages, and Lin Muxue was thoroughly disoriented.

She had never seen the Eight Trigram Array with so many variations!

A single passage could suddenly turn into four, which made her feel sorry for those who tried to crack it.

How could they possibly succeed?

Even if they found a viable path, a slight change in the array would render their efforts useless.

Moreover, he saw the potential for the array to be reused!

With so many paths, even if one was cracked, a simple change would make it useless again.

So, the Eight Trigram Array could be used repeatedly!

This complex and ever-changing form made her realize that finding a place no one could enter was indeed very easy!

But, wouldn't there be birds, beasts, and insects in such a place?

This...

But soon, she didn't have time to think about it as she was being pulled along, and the distance was quite far. Before long, she felt tired.

"How much further? I can't walk anymore!" Lin Muxue's voice carried a hint of petulance.

Zhang Lin smiled and squatted in front of her. "Get on, I'll carry you."

"You're finally showing some consideration." Lin Muxue climbed onto his back and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Zhang Lin carried her and continued toward the center of the Eight Trigram Array.

To seek this thrill, he was really going all out.

Finally, as Zhang Lin opened another passage and led her inside, he closed it behind them.

A spacious area appeared before their eyes.

This space was filled with various flowers, like a small sea of blooms.

In the middle of the flower sea, there were paths and stone tables and benches at the intersections.

Lin Muxue was set down, her face filled with amazement. "There's such a beautiful place inside the Eight Trigram Array?"

"Yes, the environment here is great, and no one will disturb us!" Zhang Lin walked behind her and wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Senior Sister, what do you think of this place?"

As he spoke, he leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "Can I use you here?"

"This is still the outdoors. I said I won't join in your foolishness," Lin Muxue replied with a petulant tone.

"Where is this the outdoors? It's a large, enclosed room where no one can see inside. What happens here won't be discovered by anyone outside," Zhang Lin said, already reaching out with his hands, ready to explore.

Lin Muxue tried to resist, but his advances were too strong!

Soon, her defenses crumbled.

There was no way to resist when he attacked her most vulnerable spots, leaving her completely powerless.

"Damn it..." Lin Muxue cursed, her voice mingling with the sound of the defenses being stripped away and tossed aside onto the stone table.

...

Time passed.

Above the bamboo maze, birds chirped and some even perched on the surrounding bamboo stalks. They seemed to have witnessed an intense battle and now watched curiously as the two people, now defenseless, hurriedly re-equipped their defenses.

"Help me, I have no strength left!" Lin Muxue murmured, her voice tinged with satisfaction.

"Senior Sister, your physical fitness needs improvement. You should exercise more," Zhang Lin teased.

"You're not human, you're like a beast!" Lin Muxue retorted, though her words carried a hint of joy.

After all, the stronger something was, the better her experience with it!

Zhang Lin was naturally even more satisfied; the special medicinal wine had an incredibly effective training effect.

After that, he checked his phone and found several missed calls.

They were all from his senior brothers, who had clearly given up on finding him and called instead.

"Let's go out too!" Zhang Lin said with a smile to his senior sister.

"Carry me, my legs are weak, I can't walk at all," Lin Muxue said, opening her arms to him.

Zhang Lin laughed and had no choice but to carry her as they walked out.

They passed through one dark tunnel after another and eventually made it outside the bamboo maze, exiting through the safety door.

"Put me down quickly!" Lin Muxue hurriedly said. Outside, she didn't want others to know about her relationship with Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin smiled and set her down.

Lin Muxue glared at him and walked forward on her own, though her legs were still weak and unsteady.

This made her secretly resolve never to fool around with this guy again. And if she wanted to use him, it would only be when she decided.

Zhang Lin didn't know what Lin Muxue was thinking. As they reached the entrance, he heard the complaints of the people from the brain-training group.

"You must have remembered the path wrong. Why are the last few routes all incorrect?"

"It can't be me remembering it wrong. You must have taken the wrong path."

"If he took the wrong path, what about us? The path is definitely wrong, you must have remembered it wrong."

"..."

Hearing this, Zhang Lin subconsciously quickened his pace to leave with his senior sister. It was likely because he had messed with the path.

As they approached the office center, he called a few of his senior brothers. They had returned to the campsite to rest after failing to find him.

The next day arrived quickly.

The senior brothers woke up early again. When Zhang Lin arrived at the farm, he saw a transport convoy, including special vehicles from the airport.

He understood; the senior brothers must have called for the transport of the golden-threaded nanmu.

Sure enough, soon the golden-threaded nanmu was loaded and taken away. Besides Senior Brothers Zhu and Gu, the others left with it, rushing back to handle the company's affairs, despite their age.

Naturally, this was what Senior Brothers Zhu and Gu had said, their faces beaming with pride.

In the days that followed, Senior Brothers Zhu and Gu visited Zhang Lin's office every day, sat down, and enjoyed tea as if they were on vacation at the farm.

Naturally, County Chief Liu also visited the farm every day, chatting with the senior brothers and trying to get closer to them. Finally, his efforts paid off, and the two senior brothers agreed to invest in a factory in Youcheng.

As for what kind of factory, Zhang Lin didn't ask. County Chief Liu was very satisfied and even thanked him specifically.

The agreed-upon 10 days passed quickly.

Zhang Lin arrived at the office early in the morning. As soon as he sat down, Senior Brothers Zhu and Gu came to see him.

"Little junior brother, it's been 10 days. Has the golden-threaded nanmu arrived?"

"It should have, right?"

No wonder they were anxious. The original piece of golden-threaded nanmu had already been made into various items and beads, and each of them had received some, which they had shown off to their old friends.

In that group, many were envious.

The golden-threaded nanmu was indeed hard to obtain, and now they were about to get another piece.

"Senior Brothers, I was just about to tell you. It will be here soon," Zhang Lin said, taking the opportunity to spend 100 million from his private account to purchase the golden-threaded nanmu through the game system.

It felt great to have enough money in his private account.

This way, he could buy things through the game system without using the company account or going through complicated procedures.

As he made the purchase, transport vehicles appeared on the game map, just like before, transporting the golden-threaded nanmu.

Hearing his words, Senior Brothers Zhu and Gu's eyes lit up. After waiting for so many days, the other piece of golden-threaded nanmu was finally on its way.

As they were happy, Zhang Lin suddenly looked at the game screen in his mind, surprised by two sudden notifications.

This was too coincidental.

Moreover, after the function was upgraded, it had finally triggered once.
