Chapter 12
"Brother, you... aren't going to think it over again?"
Li Liquan was a little dumbfounded. How had this been rejected just like that? The others also began trying to persuade him.
"Personal reasons." Lin Fan slowly shook his head. He couldn't exactly say that he might transmigrate again, and that the one controlling his body then would be a Saintess from a super sect in a cultivation world, could he?
Besides, the more he analyzed it, the firmer he became in his decision to refuse.
For instance, if he transmigrated again, would that Tigress cooperate with them to make him an internet celebrity? No way in hell...
"This..."
The twenty-odd bosses were all rather stunned.
They didn't think this venture would succeed with one hundred percent certainty, but the odds had to be at least ninety-nine percent, right?
Didn't young people nowadays all want to become internet celebrities and make big money?
Yet now... they had happened to run into that one percent!
What they didn't know was that they hadn't encountered the one percent at all, but something like one in countless hundreds of millions.
How could one transmigrator possibly appear among a hundred people?
They tried persuading him for quite a while, but Lin Fan's attitude remained firm. Though they felt somewhat displeased, they didn't lash out at him. In the end, they could only go their separate ways.
"Brother."
Li Liquan was the last to leave. "I've already paid the bill. I don't know what concerns you have, but everyone has their own choices. I just hope you won't regret yours in the future."
"I'm leaving too. Still, thanks for choosing to rob the roast duck from my place, haha."
"You're joking."
Lin Fan smiled and waved him goodbye.
After leaving the hotel and confirming the location, Lin Fan immediately got on a bus and headed back to the dorm!
It was dozens, even nearly a hundred kilometers away!
And from what he had learned at the Police Station, she had run the whole way here without taking any transportation at all...
"That Tigress really knew how to stir up trouble."
Sitting on the bus, Lin Fan had a splitting headache. Just getting back to his dorm required several transfers.
"No wonder my whole body aches... This was clearly overexertion!"
"My physical condition was pretty decent, at least. If it had been some elderly man or woman, wouldn't they have been shaken to pieces?"
After grumbling helplessly to himself, he slumped in his seat and began pondering.
He had to prepare for the next transmigration!
Though he didn't know whether he would truly transmigrate again, it was undoubtedly best to prepare for a rainy day. That was something every Hua Nation citizen liked to do.
Some people said that without a plan, there could be no failure, but Lin Fan believed having a plan was always better than having none.
Besides, Lin Fan himself felt there was a high chance he would transmigrate again.
Otherwise...
A three-day experience card for transmigrating into a Saintess??
Not even novels had ever written a "package deal" like this!
So he began making plans based on the assumption that he would transmigrate again.
"First, I need to change where I live."
Everything had to be done in order of priority, and a place to live was undoubtedly an important part of it.
For the past three days, that Tigress had controlled his body and run everywhere, with no fixed place to stay. She had even run off one of his shoes and had to rob food everywhere. That naturally couldn't happen again.
So Lin Fan decided that he would stay in his residence when the time came.
Then came the problem. His current place was a Graduate Student dorm. Though it was a double room, there was still someone familiar with him living there. If he stayed there, it would be far too easy to expose himself!
So he needed to rent a place and live alone.
"Then what's the second step?"
Lin Fan thought for a moment. "I need to find a way to establish communication or contact with her, so she won't run wild..."
Change perspectives!
Lin Fan put himself in that Tigress's shoes. If it were him, what would he do after transmigrating into a completely unfamiliar modern world?
He wouldn't understand anything. He might not even know that money was money or understand mobile payments. If he got hungry, it really did seem like robbing food was his only option.
After all, expecting an ancient person to figure out everything about the modern world on their own in a short time was somewhat unrealistic.
"This can be solved too..."
Lin Fan thought about it and came up with a plan.
"I can record videos on my phone and gradually tell her about the things that are closely related to daily life and important."
"Around the approximate time before the transmigration, I'll set my phone to stay on, open the video without playing it, place it in front of my eyes, and write in clear black and white that she should tap the play button on the screen..."
"That way, if she isn't stupid, there's a good chance she'll see the video."
This was the simplest and most feasible plan Lin Fan could think of.
Why not keep the video playing the whole time?
The reason was simple. He didn't know the exact time of the transmigration. What if the first part of the video had already played before she saw it?
To ensure the video was complete, the best method was to let her press play herself.
"Mm, that settles it. Time to prepare for the move..."
After thinking it over all the way back, he finally returned to the school. Once inside the dorm, he began packing.
Fortunately, Lin Fan didn't have much stuff to begin with. One Large Account suitcase and two handbags were pretty much everything.
His roommate wasn't there. While charging his phone, Lin Fan started looking for suitable listings on rental websites.
What counted as suitable?
First, cheap!
Second, still cheap.
As for third... probably somewhere a bit out of the way.
But those didn't conflict.
Houses in remote locations were relatively cheaper, weren't they? As for why he wanted somewhere remote, it was naturally to keep that Tigress from coming into contact with too many people right away...
The reason he wanted something cheap was even simpler: he was poor!
Lin Fan's parents were honest-to-goodness farmers. They hadn't given him much spending money to begin with. The five or six thousand yuan left in his account had all been saved through frugality and earned through part-time jobs.
Rent a nice place? He couldn't afford one!
Fortunately, C City University Town itself was rather remote. To the east—the direction that Tigress had gone before—it became increasingly bustling, all the way to the city center.
To the west were electronics factories and small towns.
So Lin Fan set his sights on those small towns.
"I heard that most houses in these small towns are rented to college couples. My old dream was to find a little wife and rent a place together, but unfortunately, now I can only go by myself."
After searching for quite a while, he finally found a decent one. Lin Fan didn't hesitate. He immediately called the landlord, arranged a time, and hurried over without stopping for breath.
He couldn't afford to dawdle!
Based on the previous pattern, he had at most three days. There were too many things he needed to do in those three days, so he had to get them done as soon as possible.
Before setting off, Lin Fan sent his roommate Wang Dong a message, briefly telling him that he was moving out. The other man replied quickly.
"Damn it, we agreed to be happy single dogs together, but you found yourself a partner and went to rent a place together? That's too much!"
"Jealous, are you, you dead handsome guy?"
After casually replying, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
What the hell did he mean, renting a place with a partner? Whether what had happened to him was good or bad was still impossible to say!
