Early on the next morning, accompanied by a cool breeze and thick yellow clouds in the sky that seemed to be pressing down, an off-road vehicle wearing a pink armored skirt suddenly drove into the courtyard of the small hotel. Top 23S.
Fastest update
The potted plant stared at the huge dark circles under her eyes and got out of the car, whining about seeing a ghost. As an intermediate awakener, God knows how long she had to go without a good sleep to survive such a big state.
Dark circles.
Potted Plant opened her teeth and claws and hugged Lin Chou. Unfortunately, her height meant that it was difficult for her to even hug Lin Chou's waist.
"Wow, wow, wow, I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich, my aunt is getting rich, hahaha~ Iron Rooster, do you know how many circulation points your rouge book sold for?"
When Lin Chou heard this tone, he suddenly became a little excited.
You must know that this is Boss Lin's first cross-border attack, which is of great significance. The most important thing is that he does not have to worry about it and still has money.
"How many?"
The potted plant stretched out four fingers mysteriously,
"Forty million, 46.9 million circulation points!! Hahahaha, my aunt is really a genius, hahahaha..."
She couldn't stop laughing wildly, and Lin Chou didn't refute her this time, looking at the potted plants with eyes filled with...
"Hey!" Potted Plant suddenly tightened his collar and raised his head to look at Lin Chou, "My aunt is a prostitute rather than an artist. You have to think carefully before buying it. Returns are not supported."
Because of the way the potted plant hugged his thigh before, and the distance and angle between the two of them, the potted plant's actions were not unreasonable, but damn, Lin Chou was aggrieved. He just wanted to see it, so he had to account for it!
Lin Chou squinted his eyes. He was quite calm and full of sarcasm. Everyone could see what his subtext was.
"Please speak with the facts, Crab."
Potted Plant almost cried out loud, and the circles under his eyes were really red.
"Your surname is Lin! You're a sQ-crazy, controlling pervert, a bastard who's trying to burn bridges, my aunt, I'll fight you!"
He continued to pounce on him with all his teeth and claws, but Lin Chou used his "Secret Technique: Touching the Head with Long Arms to Kill" to pin him down one meter away and struggle in vain.
However, her little eyes suddenly became charming, and there was a hint of coquettishness in her voice that should not appear in her.
"Humph, you damn ghost~ If you look at her body, she will be yours~"
emmmmmmm.
Not to mention, it’s really that interesting. Just thinking about the glorious history of potted plants makes Lin Chou’s goosebumps dance.
"There's nothing. I didn't see anything. It's just a confusing mosaic."
The carefully chosen expressions and gestures of the potted plants were fed to the dogs, and he said angrily,
"Stop talking nonsense. If you marry me, you can watch high-definition and uncensored movies every day."
Lin Chou snorted coldly,
"Stop dreaming."
"Wow, my aunt will fight with you!!"
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble."
The potted plant stopped and angrily threw a card to Lin Chou.
"This is your share."
Although she is very greedy for money, she also keeps her promises. Because of this, others are willing to cooperate with her even if the price is high.
Lin Chou took the card with satisfaction and put it into his pocket, "What the hell?!"
The potted plant was startled, and said with false concern,
"What's wrong?"
His voice dropped, still showing a hint of embarrassment.
"The numbers are correct...we just rounded them up...so excited..."
Lin Chou didn't say "fuck" how his share of 23.45 million was rounded up to 22.99 million, but the system did not confiscate the circulation points!
You must know that on weekdays, the revenue of the small restaurant is entirely handled by the system. When the circulation point is passed to Lin Chou, it will immediately turn into a numerical increase on the attribute panel. The change is also completed by the system. When Lin Chou needs money, it will be processed by the system.
System expenses.
Just like a company has a lot of cash flow on its books, but that kind of "money" cannot be completely called "money".
However, this card still stays in Lin Chou's pocket.
"This, this, this...this is really my own money???"
Bon Zai looked at Lin Chou in a state of excitement, with a strange look in his eyes.
"Don't be so embarrassed. My aunt knows that you are very capable, but you won't act like you've never seen money before, right?"
I have never seen money before!
Lin Chou roared in his heart.
The potted plant snorted,
"Auntie, I'm going to look at the menu, hehehe, Brother Chou, I've made such a big fortune for you, right..."
Lin Chou waved his hand, "Don't even think about it!"
The potted plant bites a mouth of silver teeth like braided shells,
"Iron Rooster, do you know that you will be punished?"
"Hahaha, if you don't make money, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"
The potted plant murmured, "Isn't this my mantra, auntie?"
Lin Chou was about to walk into the house when he was suddenly stopped by someone calling him.
"Mr. Lin? Boss Lin!!"
Lin Chou looked over,
"Huh? Wu Ke, your annual leave is over? Are these..."
Wu Ke looked happy, and the two dog-legged bodyguards nodded repeatedly and clasped their fists to indicate,
"Yes, it's over. I have applied for the monitoring task for the new year... Originally, the big boss wanted to replace him with someone else. Hey, undergraduate researchers don't rarely go back to the base city now. There are so many people here.
Comfortable, hahaha, cough, what you just heard was all talk in your sleep. How can an undergraduate researcher trust those newbies to take over my job in a wilderness monitoring mission with difficult and extremely dangerous conditions? So I second
I came here without any hesitation."
This guy is addicted to eating here even with the subsidy from the scientific research institute.
Wu Ke pointed to the person behind him and introduced,
"These are all inspectors under orders from three parties at the same time. They... have something to ask you."
One of the young men came forward and said,
"Mr. Lin, I am the chief inspector of the Property Management Committee. You can just call me Xiao Wu. These are all my colleagues. Can we ask you a few questions?"
"Well,"
Lin Chouxin said: What the hell is the Property Management Committee?
"Just ask."
Inspector Wu's face straightened, "Everyone is waiting, please retreat."
Several other inspectors quietly formed a small circle and looked at Wu Ke and the two bodyguards with stern eyes.
Obviously, these three people now suddenly belong to the "miscellaneous people".
Wu Ke's face turned blue with anger,
"Mmp, the scientific researchers are so mean-spirited that they don't recognize people when they fall out."
Several inspectors heard this, and their expressions did not change. They just waved their hands and a thin layer of mist formed into a ball, covering Lin Chou and Inspector Wu.
As soon as this thin spherical shield appears, external sounds immediately disappear and everything becomes silent.
"Huh?"
Lin Chou reached out and poked it, it was as pliable as a gummy candy.
Inspector Wu smiled,
"It's just a small trick. It can only isolate the sound and has no other use."
"oh..."
Inspector Wu coughed slightly,
"Mr. Lin, I am asking you a few questions under the orders of the three parties. I hope you can actively cooperate."
"..."
"Mr. Lin, it's like this. When you and three academicians were on a maritime mission a few years ago, were you the first to discover the 'abnormality' on the island?"
"Oh, it's me."
Inspector Wu nodded,
"So, have you disclosed the situation on the island to others?"
Lin Chou twitched the corner of his mouth, "Does this need to be revealed? Qin Wuyong has already broadcast everything that should be broadcast, right?"
"No."
Inspector Wu said,
"Very good, then according to the relevant regulations of the base city on this situation, you enjoy the highest level of 'discovery and information rights' regarding the island. In exchange, you cannot disclose any information about the incident to the outside world at will. I hope you will
understand."
Lin Chou looked innocent,
"Damn it, the discovery of the right to know is really true!!"
Inspector Wu smiled bitterly,
"It's business, please forgive me."
Waving his hands to disperse the shield,
"Then, my work is over, goodbye."
"..."
"That's it? No need to sign a confidentiality agreement or anything like that?"
Inspector Wu gave Lin Chou a meaningful look.
"Of course, we are just civil servants and we only have the obligation to inform. If someone violates it...it won't be us who show up next time."
Perhaps because he remembered something, Inspector Wu added another sentence,
"Of course this is not against you. With your status, you will not deal with such a trivial matter... Ahem, I'll leave first."
"..."
Regarding this so-called right to know about discoveries, Lin Chou had heard about it from the mouths of evolutionaries.
It was simply a scolding, and the only thing that could be linked to it was the word "expropriation."
To be fair, the wilderness, the Black Sea, Zushan, including the Southern Living Corpse Territory, do not belong to any single individual, not even to Mingguang. Everything outside Mingguang City belongs to the discoverers and those who have the confidence to go out to hunt.
Everything they bring back is the spoils of these people, and no one has the right to take it away.
But there is an exception. Once it is confirmed that a certain discovery in the wilderness has some value for the long-term development of Base City, the three big bosses of Base City will not hesitate to take the discovery as their own. Anyone who dares to block it will be the first to do so.
Time is ground into powder.
Of course, this kind of expropriation requires unanimous approval by the three parties with voting rights, and it does not happen casually.
In exchange, the three parties will give the first discoverer certain conveniences, which is the so-called "right to know about discovery."
All information about this "discovery" will be notified to this great pioneer without a dog leash as soon as possible. As for whether this first-hand information can be exchanged for matching benefits, it is a matter of opinion.
, these have nothing to do with the eggs of the three-party bosses.
Although he was a little unhappy, Lin Chou actually had no feelings at all.
Except for those tens of millions of tons of things that looked gorgeous but were actually just ordinary crystals, he was only interested in the toads in the river and the ducks by the river, and there was nothing worth pitying.
What's more, except for Lin Chou who went in once and brought out a toad, the researchers still haven't figured out how that place works.
The potted plant looked at Lin Chou suspiciously,
"How come you are related to these inspectors? They are all cannibals. You...ah! They won't want to steal your cooking, will they?"
Lin Chou staggered and said speechlessly,
"I cook here every day, what can you do if you take me back?"
The potted plant's eyes were shining brightly, and he clasped his fingers and said,
"No, no, it's different, look..."
"First, if we take you back to the base city, we can print tens of millions less source crystal notes every month. It will be okay to suppress inflation a little, right?"
"Second, at the very least, the Research Institute of the Base City Development Committee can get a lot more dragon-tiger fight quotas, so that they don't have to be wasted on those families, and they can cultivate a few more capable combatants."
"Third, I don't know if you have discovered it. In fact, the forces in the garrison have entered a period of ambiguity. As idle forces, the strength of the family and hunter teams is increasing significantly, and your presence has intensified the situation.
After all, the leaders of the three parties must consider this phenomenon as a whole, and cannot be like hunters and families trying to send you money. They can't even popularize a salt chicken for military use. If things continue like this, tsk tsk."
When Lin Chou heard this, he frowned. He had never thought about this, but...he really had such a problem now...
Bonzai chuckled and said,
"Perhaps you don't even realize it, but you have become a 'wind vane'. Whichever way you point, the momentum will tilt in that direction."
Lin Chou smacked his lips,
"It's impossible. There are tens of millions of people in the base city, and I'm just a little cook..."
Potted Plant looked at Lin Chou and said in a mysterious tone,
"A population of tens of millions? You may have forgotten that in the entire Mingguang, there are only more than 100,000 evolved people! In addition to the people from the garrison committee, how many hunters do you receive in the wilderness every day?"
Lin Chou was startled,
"But people from the Scientific Research Institute and the garrison will also come..."
The potted plant shakes its head,
"It's very simple. Worrying about inequality instead of scarcity is unfair in the eyes of the people at the bottom of the three parties."
Lin Chou understood the meaning of potted plants after a moment's thought.
Since ancient times, the "salary" received by civil servants has not been much, and there have been various restrictions. Although there are various welfare systems as supplements, that was before Lin Chou made his debut.
What Mingguang values most is, in the final analysis, strength.
Lin Chou's food became known to most people within a few months, and even the production committee issued a tax exemption order specifically for him.
Those people watch others getting stronger while they are still standing still. In the long run, their social status will inevitably decline.
Who would?
Bonsai says,
"Let's see, within a few months, there will definitely be calls from the three parties to introduce your food into the system as a benefit. Of course, this will be a big profit for you."
"Finally, can you understand the difference between a personal chef and a canteen chef?"
"..."
Lin Chou grunted, and his eyes changed when he looked at the potted plants.
"Say, how do you see all this?"
The potted plant pointed at the head,
"A brain is a good thing, and I hope you have one too."
"Eat me in one pot!!"
"Hahaha... This is called basic skills. There is a great businessman in ancient times who said: antiques in troubled times, golden times, and prosperous times. This is the simplest truth. If you don't have the vision to see the situation clearly, you will never be a successful businessman."
Lin Chou suddenly asked,
"Then what do you think a successful businessman should look like?"
The potted plant's eyes flashed,
"Those who cultivate the fields will make a profit of ten, those who sell pearls and jade will make a hundred, and those who sell the country will make an immeasurable profit."
"A rare commodity can live in Lu Buwei, and he can abolish the idea of establishing an emperor with a single word. If he hadn't been tricked by his pig teammates, where would the First Emperor come from to unify the six kingdoms and end up with two people? History would have changed a long time ago. Even so, Lu Buwei can be regarded as a good role model in our industry.
"
Lin Chou blinked,
"Oh, I can't tell. I'm sorry. You have a lolita body and a queen's heart."
Bonzai rolled his eyes,
"I hate the word loli."
"Also, this is just raising chestnuts, do you know how to cut them?"
"It's okay for Lizi to mess with you. Even if Lu Buwei owns a country, he has already broken away from the definition of a businessman. That can't be called 'making money'."
Bonsai Wonder Road,
"Do you have any misunderstanding about the definition of a businessman? Businessmen pursue profits. They are all interests, so do they need to be treated differently? Isn't it the same for you?"
Lin Chou shook his head,
"I just want to 'cook' and 'make money' on the side. I don't want to be a successful businessman. I'm not a businessman either."
I glanced at the potted plant,
"Like you, a role model in the industry, I think that in this world, starting from business is not as realistic as punching it out with one punch, and the possibility is higher."
Potted Plant had been holding it in for a long time, and his face turned red.
"These are two different things."
Lin Chou spread his hands,
"Well, I'm too lazy to tell you... tell me, you're so kind to give me such an educational lesson. What on earth do you want to do?"
Lin Chou felt like a mirror in her heart. Although he didn't know the purpose of the potted plants, she allowed herself to see something clearly, and due gratitude was still necessary.
The potted plant raised its lips and said in surprise,
"So you're not stupid?"
"Do you believe I can make you look like a fool right now?"
Potted plant curls its lips,
"Then do you want to know who used pots as weapons before the Cataclysm?"
"Go away! Tell me or not!"
The potted plant smiled delicately,
"You owe me a favor."
Lin Chou breathed out, "Okay."
Wu Ke seems to have discovered some great gossip,
"Wow wow wow, sister Chi, come and see, the boss has made an indescribable deal with a little loli behind your back!!"
"..."
Lin Chou believed that his facial muscles must be distorted at this moment.
Unexpectedly, the big-breasted lady’s eyes swept across the top of the potted plant.
"Ah!"
Just such a look and sound had completely ignited Bonzai's anger system.
Immediately explode the nest and explode!
Then......
"pia~!"
With a backhand, the big-breasted lady pressed her face onto the table.
The busty lady grabbed a rag with her other hand and wiped the table, while wiping her face on the potted plant.
"Wow! My aunt...wu...wuwu!!"
There was some incredible emotion in Wu Ke's eyes,
"Wow, is this the natural instinctive hostility between Lolita and Royal Sister? It's really desirable."
Lin Chou pointed to the rag in the potted plant's mouth,
"Classmate Wu, do you know that potted plants hold grudges?"
Wu Ke blinked and suddenly realized,
"You mean, she will take revenge on Sister Chi?"
"No, I'm talking about you."
"..."
At this time, Huang Dasheng staggered into the dining room with sleepy eyes.
"It's so early in the morning, so noisy, rolling your mother... eh? That cactus-like thing, what kind of inexplicable game are you and the big-breasted sister playing?"
Wu Ke probably wanted to win over an ally to ensure safety, so he retorted,
"You're done. Bonzai is very vindictive, and she hates you too!"
Master Shan, "Hey!"
Lin Chou looked at Wu Ke like a silly boy.
Wu Ke is a bit clever,
"What, what happened?"
Lin Chou patted him on the shoulder,
"Well, I'm in a good mood today. I'm going to analyze the case...situation for you."
Pointing to the two girls on the table,
"Technically speaking, well, the green-haired one is classified as a lolita. Is there anything wrong with her?"
"There seems to be nothing wrong..."
"Well, the one who looks forward to attacking is classified into..."
Shan Ye quickly added, "Barbarian King!"
"puff!"
Lin Chou coughed several times and glared at Huang Dashan angrily.
"Just think of her as Sister Yu, right?"
Wu Ke, "Ah, yes."
"Then do you know what category Shan Ye belongs to?"
"..."
Wu Ke said cautiously,
"Mammoth?"
Mr. Shan laughed loudly and patted his chest majestically, "You have a good sense, Mr. Shan, my muscles are as strong as a mammoth."
Lin Chou shook his head,
"Winter's Wrath."
"?"
"??"
Both faces were confused.
Wu Ke pondered for a long time and suddenly said,
"Ah ah ah, I understand. Are you talking about the Sejuani before the Cataclysm?"
Wu Ke said excitedly,
"How can Mr. Shan be classified as a girl?"
"I'm talking about the one riding below."
Wu Ke's face was twitching.
Lin Chou glanced at Shan Ye, who was still confused.
"Of course, the mountain man himself is not important. There is a queen riding on top of him."
"Your Majesty the Queen, all loli ladies are just paper tigers."
"puff!"
Wu Ke squirted.
Shan Ye said resentfully,
"Although I don't understand what you are talking about, I always feel like I have been wronged."
Then he tried his best to round his eyes,
"Also! What you said is wrong! I'm the one riding on it!"
Lin Chou's eyes were bright.
Wu Ke's eyes were bright.
Master Shan scratched his head, his tone was a bit weak,
"Well...actually...she...occasionally...really occasionally...fuck you guys, are you going to fall out with me again!!"
As a unit of measurement, does it really matter whether it is one animal or one head, riding or being ridden?
Lin Chou clicked his tongue,
"Obviously you are the one who was kidnapped, why do I always feel that the Queen of Night has suffered a big loss..."
Shan Ye glared angrily.
Lin Chou asked,
"By the way, who did Luanshan send this time?"
Shanye scratched his head,
"The people who went there before were the people brought by grandma."
Lin Chou bulged his eyes,
"Nanny has returned to Mingguang??"
Huang Dashan said,
"Well, I'm going to Mingguang."
Lin Chou hiccuped, Damn it, it turns out that too much words lead to mistakes.
Haha,
"Why is the Queen of the Night so rest assured that she won't be afraid of Mingguang, your family member, when you come back?"
Master Shan laughed dryly,
"This...hehehe...it's been solved, it's hard to say, it's hard to say."
The white dome head suddenly appeared,
"Tsk, it's so irritating that people are more popular than each other. This guy is such a coward, and he can hug me from left to right and there are people queuing up. Tsk, tsk, there is actually a queen in Qi Ren Zhi Fu."
Shanye scratched his neck,
"What's wrong with the Queen? Technically speaking, the Queen is also a profession and it does not represent her personally."
"Hey~who are you speaking for?"
"hey-hey."
Master Shan scratched his head, "What about that? Can we change the topic?"
Bai Qiongshou roared,
"Of course not! What the hell are you talking about with me? Are you possessed by a ghost? What are the people from Luanshan thinking about coming to Mingguang?!"
Master Shan coughed,
"It's really nothing...I can guarantee...people from Luanshan have this intention. The specific situation is a bit complicated and I won't be able to explain it for a while..."
"I'm still the mountain master who opened mountains and drained them of water. I'm still the one...do you still remember that holy object? The guy in my mind was ruined by it."
Bai Qiongshou said worriedly,
"Integrated? It doesn't look like it...does coming back have any impact on you?"
Shanye scratched his head,
"It doesn't have any impact, it's just that... it feels a bit strange... In short, under the sacred objects of Luan Mountain, you are not allowed to break your oath, and even the thought of it will be completely erased without knowing it. Anyway, it is all kinds of mysterious and mysterious sayings.
"
"Ahem, as for the brainless one in my head, I guess I can't have any 'ideas' at all now..."
