Chapter 23 Grasp with both hands, both hands must be hard!
The Lin family has been inherited for hundreds of years. In the beginning, it was just a small family in a remote area with only a few dozen people in total.
It was not until 573 years ago, that is, exactly 1,000 years ago, that the world underwent great changes.
Meteorite rain falling from the sky, violent ocean tides sweeping along the coast, volcanic eruptions caused by plate movement...
Many huge disasters are all over this blue planet.
The ancestors of the Lin family thought that the end of the world was coming and wanted to preserve the family bloodline.
But the Lin family was too weak at that time, and the only way they could think of was to hide in a natural cave in the mountains.
Unexpectedly, there is a mystery in the cave, and the Lin family discovers the dragon skeleton.
Human bones and ancient cold weapons are scattered around the dragon carcass.
It turns out that it turned out to be the old place where the accomplished and powerful ancients joined forces to slay the real dragon.
Everyone in the Lin family obtained the skills of a strong practitioner, and unexpectedly found that the skills fit the world environment after drastic changes, and they could actually practice successfully.
And there is a very unique technique that can absorb the terrifying aura of dragon corpse remains.
Absorbing dragon energy and strengthening the body made the Lin family's bloodline strong.
This is how the Lin family, one of the nine largest plutocrats in the federation, came into being.
As the head of the family, Lin Cangyuan only knew a lot more secrets than Lin Youwei. After he determined that Wang Jun could cure Lin Youwei's evolutionary sorrow, he understood Wang Jun's comprehensive value to the Lin family in an instant.
Over the past hundreds of years, only a handful of people in the Lin family have absorbed the energy of dragon bones and developed the energy of dragon chants.
Everyone is a genius who emerges at least every 50 years. However, when the catastrophe of evolution breaks out on them, they are never spared. Either they die or mutate, there is no third possibility.
Once upon a time, Lin Cangyuan had an eldest brother who was more talented and amazing than him. However, when the evolutionary calamity broke out and the entire Lin family devoted all their efforts and invited more than a dozen top evolutionary planners, they were still helpless.
He could only watch helplessly as his elder brother mutated. In the end, before the elder brother became a mutant, Lin Cangyuan personally took his life.
This sad past is deeply etched in his heart. Even after so many years, Lin Cangyuan has never forgotten it for a moment.
Next to the counter, separated by a half-solid shadow wall, Lin Youwei took a deep look at the tablet. She didn't expect her grandfather to be so straightforward.
It was simply putting the news that the Lin family valued Wang Jun clearly on the table.
She really wanted to ask why, but the time was obviously not right now.
The golden red light in the pupil of Sun Buwu's left eye was flowing, like the yin and yang fish in the Tai Chi pattern slowly rotating.
The Sun family is not one of the nine chaebols, but the Sun family has the first person in the world to take charge, so the nine chaebols will treat the Sun family with courtesy.
In addition, Lin Cangyuan and Sun Lutang were competitors in their early years, so the relationship between the Sun family and the Lin family is better than outsiders realize.
Sun Buwu was the only member of the Sun family. He had heard about the Lin family's affairs and was the first to react.
However, at this moment, it was not convenient for him to directly represent Black Front Alley, and his eyes were cold and cold.
Leng Qingning rolled her eyes in a circle, understood, and blinked.
"Of course there is no problem in meeting Wang Jun, but not now."
Lin Cangyuan seemed to have expected it and said without thinking, "With conditions?"
"It's not a condition, it's just that as an awakened person, he treated Lin Youwei and let her break a small bottleneck. I am still quite tired. Regarding the kidnapping ransom and life-saving reward, it is better for the two of us to discuss it first."
Leng Qingning smiled slightly.
"Wait until the details are discussed clearly before contacting him."
Hearing this, Lin Cangyuan turned to look at Lin Youwei, as if there were deep whirlpools hidden in his eyes.
…………
Wang Jun was arranged to stay in a small courtyard in the northeast corner of Heifeng Lane.
The courtyard occupies a small area, with the inner room and the outer wall totaling about 70 to 80 square meters.
The inner room is made of green bamboo, and there is a small pergola outside. Under the shed is a small artificial hot spring pool.
It's night, the best time to take a bath.
Wang Jun did not transform into a body of pure water, but kept his physical body as it was, lying in the hot spring.
The weather in February brought with it a whooshing cool breeze, causing ripples on the water's surface, followed by steaming hot water vapor.
With his head above the water and his whole body soaked in the hot spring from the neck down, Wang Jun enjoyed the sharp contrast between hot and cold.
The fatigue of the body is relieved, and the brain becomes more alert as if there is an electric shock.
"Comfortable!" Wang Jun couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
Next to it, there is a laptop placed on the edge of the hot spring.
This is what Wang Jun specially requested to come earlier. It is not only in line with his status as a researcher, but also helps to understand the overall picture of the current world.
At this time, the computer screen was broadcasting the entire negotiation process between Heifeng Alley and the Lin family.
In the picture-in-picture in the lower right corner of the screen, the cute panda cubs imitate the same, simulating a more luxurious hot spring scene.
It lay on its back, spread out its limbs, and laughed while swimming on its back:
"How's it going? Uncle Qi is very powerful, isn't he? He can broadcast the entire transaction between Black Front Alley and the Lin family for you, and search for it all over the federation. There is absolutely no one else who can do it."
"Yeah, awesome." Wang Jun smiled slightly and gave a thumbs up.
In the broadcast, the issue discussed by both parties in the negotiation was the specific amount of money he could get.
One party bids 50 million, and the other party counterbids 5 million.
After going back and forth for a long time, it finally got stuck between 25 million and 30 million.
In the current world, an ordinary civilian smartphone costs about 3,000-5,000 federal coins. If it is more expensive, it can reach 8,000-10,000 federal coins, which is not much different from the soft-sister coins in the previous life.
However, the daily food expenses of ordinary people require about 200 federal dollars, which is enough to have enough food and clothing, not even enough to eat fried chicken.
According to the memory fragments in Wang Jun's mind, the purchasing power of 100 federal coins is approximately equivalent to 30 soft sister coins in the previous life.
The price reduction of smartphones is simply due to the improvement of technology and the introduction of new materials and technologies.
After hearing this, some people may think that chaebols are quite conscientious.
However, this is just a money-making strategy of the major chaebols.
On smartphones, there are endless and various apps that are the best way to drain people's pockets.
What the chaebol wants is not only money, but also time, allowing most people to indulge in a variety of immersive experiences such as games, videos, virtual link technology, etc.
Only in this way will the people at the bottom have no energy to cause trouble and will not threaten the status of the chaebol.
Not long after, the broadcast screen on the laptop was suddenly cut off.
Zooming in on the picture, Qi grinned at Wang Jun and said:
"Xiao Junjun, a huge sum of money is going to hit your head soon. Are you very excited now?"
"Why did it suddenly stop broadcasting?" Wang Jun asked without answering.
Qi scratched his belly and yawned:
"There has to be some suspense. The specific amount should be discussed over there soon. When they are sure, they will contact you and you will naturally know by then."
"However, that amount must be an astronomical figure to you now. Have you ever thought about how to use it?"
Wang Jun muttered: "The most urgent task is to improve yourself."
"How to improve?" Qi tilted her head.
Wang Jun squinted his eyes and slowly sank his head into the water.
His mouth made a vague sound in the water: "Let me think about it."
After saying this, the water surface was no more than his hair, and he sank into the water without any suffocation at all.
Wang Jun still maintains a normal human body, but his breathing is extremely smooth, and every molecule of the water sends out a signal of closeness.
The hot water in the hot spring blocked his ears. He did not activate the water creatures and did not use the water to sense his surroundings.
At this moment, he needs to think quietly.
The three forces of Red Umbrella Company, Lin Family, and Black Front Alley are all behemoths. No matter which party takes action against him, it will be a disaster.
These are only the opponents who can be seen on the card table. Wang Jun doesn't know how many organizations and forces there are secretly.
But one thing is clear to him: a weakling without strength will never have allies.
Whether it is an individual or an organization, strength is always the basis for communication.
A professor in his previous life once said something that Wang Jun particularly liked and even regarded as a guide:
"Dignity lies only on the edge of the sword, and truth lies only within the range of the cannon."
This is true for a country, this is true for a nation, and it is even more true for a person.
Without strength as the foundation, connections are just a joke.
Wang Jun asked himself that he was just an awakened person now. Any of the three major forces on the surface had multiple lv3 extraordinary people, and a lv3 extraordinary person could easily kill him. There was basically no possibility of fighting back.
sex.
Improving self-worth requires a two-step process.
The first is to improve one's combat strength, which is to increase the level of transcendent.
The second is to play the role of evolutionary planner conscientiously.
The information Wang Jun searched on the Internet showed that evolutionary planners are more rare than extraordinary ones.
If a transcendent is one out of a thousand ordinary people, then an evolutionary planner is one out of ten thousand extraordinarys.
Most evolutionary planners have a unique inheritance or are supported by huge forces. They have the experience of their predecessors, so they have a specific evolutionary path.
Wang Jun sank into the water, slowly crossed his legs, and touched his left eyeball with his right hand.
Through recent events, he has understood that the chip being pursued by all the major forces is probably inside.
The chip records all the information about the Lingyun Ecology project, and Lingyun Ecology is the key to deciphering extraordinary evolution.
After these clues are matched, it becomes a matter of course to be able to see the evolutionary trees of oneself and others.
"The becoming stronger of extraordinary people is evolution. After evolution, there will be more qualitative changes in the application of extraordinary abilities and the improvement of physical fitness."
Wang Jun's mind flashed back to what he saw and heard in the sewer.
Li Xuanchen controls the treacherousness and changeability of the shadows, while Kuisi wears the fierceness and ferocity of the light.
The aftermath of the battle is not something ordinary humans can bear.
The battle between the two of them is more like a duel between two Gundams than a battle between humans.
Extraordinary, worthy of his name!
In comparison, Awakened Ones and Level 1 Extraordinary People feel to Wang Jun that they are not worthy of the word "extraordinary".
He spread his hands and closed his fingers slowly and forcefully.
"Extraordinary people, evolutionary planners, no matter which path you take, you can't escape from improving your extraordinary level."
Wang Jun shook his head slightly, and the binary stream of 010101 flashed under his left eye.
The next second, a tree diagram and matching text appeared in his mind.
[Current status: Being close to a water source, if you are not exposed to a large amount of clean water for a long time, you will be weak]
[Solution: Pay 5 points of life aura, and you can query it once]
【Extraordinary ability】
Water creature——
Branch skill 1: Control of water flow. Description: Control the water flow within a radius of 10 meters of the body. The maximum weight is 1 ton. The more impurities there are, the more mental power and life aura it consumes.
Branch skill 2: Pure water body. Description: The body is transformed into pure water, which can also transform some non-living substances. The weight limit is 5 kilograms.
【Evolutionary Path】
Path 1: Accelerate evolution. Description: Swallow pure water crystals to increase the degree of evolution completion. Each pure water crystal increases the degree of evolution by 10%. Only 1 pure water crystal can be consumed per day.
Path 2: Origin of ice shaping. Description: Water flow and ice transform into each other, and have the ability to shape ice. Materials required: 3 ice crystal lotus, 1 heart of a frost tree demon, 100 grams of dark blue frozen soil.
After reading it carefully, Wang Jun suddenly had an idea in his mind: "To improve the extraordinary level requires extraordinary materials, and to play the role of evolutionary planner also requires extraordinary materials..."
Wow~~~~
Breaking the surface of the water, he shook his head, and his shiny black hair shook out crystal water droplets.
On the computer screen, Qi rubbed her eyes and said, "Have you thought of it?"
Wang Jun nodded, "No matter how big the amount is, it will all be replaced with extraordinary materials."
Qi: "Extraordinary materials are very valuable, and most of them are small in size. They are indeed a good choice."
Wang Jun: "Aqi, how do you disguise yourself as an evolutionary planner?"
"It's not Ah Qi, it's Uncle Qi." Qi rolled her eyes and raised her middle finger, "Also, you don't have to pretend to be an evolutionary planner."
Question marks appeared in Wang Jun's eyes.
Qi smacked her lips, "You are the evolutionary planner, there is no need to pretend."
Wang Jun took a deep look at Qi, and Qi looked directly at him, and the two became silent in tacit agreement.
Dududu~~~dududu~~~
A phone call came from the room, and Wang Jun raised his fingers.
A slender stream of water flew up from the hot spring, spanning a distance of several meters, and flew into the bamboo house.
Immediately afterwards, the water flowed like a rope, and the smartphone was tied to his palm.
After the call was connected, a cold voice came: "Someone in the Lin family wants to meet you. After meeting you, you can get the reward Lin Youwei promised and the ransom she paid."
Wang Jun watched nearly 95% of the broadcast scenes and was not surprised by this.
He pondered for two seconds, pretended to react for a while, and then said: "How much is the total?"
"15 million treatment fee, 5 million thank you fee, and 10 million ransom. There is a commission on the ransom, originally it was 20 million..."
"Okay, that's understandable." Wang Jun stopped Leng Qingning from continuing to explain.
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned, as if he didn't expect Wang Jun's cheerfulness.
There was an imperceptible softness in Leng Qingning's voice:
"The person you want to meet is the old man of the Lin family, the current head of the Lin family. Please make some preparations."
"Do I need to go there?" Wang Jun asked.
Leng Qingning said: "That's not necessary, just make a video call."
Wang Jun said: "You don't have to go there, I have nothing to prepare. Just get through."
"Okay." Leng Qingning agreed.
[The author has something to say]
The evolutionary tree panel has been slightly improved, which does not affect the context, but is just for the convenience of reading by book lovers.
