My 320th Chapter, a Snap of the Fingers

A few minutes later, at home.

Lin Fan asked Zhou Na to leave temporarily, but Old Chen and Zhou Xiaoran did not, because Wu Guodong had specifically mentioned that someone wanted to see her.

Old Chen just happened to need to 'get an ID card', right? And Old Chen's change also made them even more aware of his methods!

As for Zhou Na...

It's not that I treat her like an outsider, but rather that I should always have a backup plan.

It may be exposed sooner or later, but at least for now, it's always good to keep something in reserve.

Zhou Na has now reached the pinnacle of ' Martial Arts ', and the next step will be the Foundation Establishment Stage combat power, which is already not to be underestimated.

Knock knock knock.

A knock came at the door.

Lin Fan was about to open the door when Zhou Xiaoran stepped forward first and opened the door...

Outside the door, Liu Gang, dressed in Zhongshan Suit, and his teammates, all in similar attire, looked around the room with serious expressions.

At this moment, they were no longer carrying cloth bags, but instead all carrying a black umbrella.

"Oh?"

"The same style worn by Wong Fei-hung?"

Lin Fan was delighted.

He could clearly tell from his perception that it was not an umbrella!

Okay, it can also be used as an umbrella.

However, the umbrella handle can be pulled out to reveal a sword, with the sharp end capable of spitting out "peanuts," and the umbrella ribs can also be fired directly, its power estimated to be comparable to a composite crossbow!

"The mission requires..."

Liu Gang said seriously, "We need to check..."

I don't think it's necessary.

Lin Fan smiled and gestured for Zhou Xiaoran to step back and stand behind him. He then said, "You all seem quite capable, but there's no need for that here."

"If I want to make a move, you..."

Snap!

The guy snapped his fingers.

Then, the black umbrellas in their hands were suddenly pulled away by a tremendous force and flew out of their grasp!

Liu Gang held on very tightly, but in the end, he was also thrown several meters away before finally slipping out of his grasp.

Then, more than a dozen black umbrellas flew to Lin Fan's side and began to transform.

Just a few seconds...

The black umbrellas, made of high-strength alloy, were all twisted into braids and then turned into small balls.

It was as if an unseen hand had first twisted the black umbrella into a pretzel, and then rolled it into a ball.

This scene caused Liu Gang and the others to change their expressions drastically.

A strange light flashed in Zhou Xiaoran's eyes, as if she had thought of many things in an instant.

Old Chen was curious...

This old man... or at least he used to be an old man, but now he's just too curious about cultivators!

Many Daoist practitioners often say, "If I seek the Tao in the morning, I can die content in the evening."

Old Chen is that kind of person.

However, he used to study Quantum Mechanics, but now he is studying something related to cultivating immortality.

Seeing Lin Fan's methods for the first time naturally piqued their curiosity.

"See?"

Lin Fan still smiled, "If I have any ill intentions, neither you nor the things you brought will matter..."

Smack

With another snap of the fingers, the 'black umbrellas' that had turned into black spheres all flew back, hovering in front of their original owners, returning them to their rightful place.

"So whether you search or not, whether you inspect or not, it's all the same."

Demonstration!

Lin Fan is demonstrating!

Now that such a big shot has come in person, it's obvious that the other party is quite sincere, which is a good thing for Lin Fan.

By directly bypassing the stage of 'talking up layer by layer', a lot of time and energy can be saved.

However, this also means that Lin Fan must secure enough benefits for himself, or rather, gain enough say in this meeting!

How does one gain a voice?

Of course it's... strength!

What could be more direct than showing off your skills?

"This guy..."

Liu Gang was deeply shocked, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead again...

All of his teammates were like that!

Who are they?

They are already among the top-tier fighters. Although the weapon they carry looks like an ordinary black umbrella, the same one used by Wong Fei-hung, it is actually more expensive to make than the one that emits blue flames!

Its strength is also extremely high.

But Lin Fan proved so utterly ineffective; how could they not be alarmed and terrified?

"Seventh Vice Minister..."

Liu Gang whispered, "I don't think this person is suitable to be contacted. His fighting ability is beyond comprehension, and your safety cannot be guaranteed."

Although his voice was soft through the headset, that wasn't a problem.

"Hehe."

Lin Fan shook his head and chuckled, "You said you wanted to see me and Xiaoran, and now we're standing right here, but you've disappeared?"

"Of course!"

As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, a hearty laugh rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a man in his fifties, full of vigor, strode over, followed by Wu Guodong ...

"Resident Happiness Living Department - Seventh Deputy Minister - Huang Shi".

He leaped over Liu Gang, stepped into the room, faced Lin Fan, and reached out his hand.

"Seventh Vice Minister?!"

Liu Gang was terrified.

"Don't worry."

The Seventh Vice Minister smiled and said, "I believe Mister Lin won't act recklessly. After all, if he wanted to take action, he could have done so already."

"Seventh Vice Minister, this is Lin Fan."

Lin Fan chuckled and gently shook hands with him, "Please!"

A moment later, inside the room...

Lin Fan and his two companions sat opposite the Seventh Vice Minister.

Behind the Seventh Vice Minister were Wu Guodong and Liu Gang and their entourage.

How would you like to talk?

Lin Fan took the initiative to speak...

"To be honest."

The Seventh Vice Minister didn't hold back either. "We want to know a lot of things, after all... there are too many unknowns about you for us and for the whole world."

"Actually, I don't understand."

"I believe in the existence of people like you; after all, you are a living example. But why, after all these years, have you never appeared in public before..."

The Seventh Vice Minister expressed their confusion, but their eyes remained fixed on Lin Fan's open gaze.

No wonder he's the Seventh Vice Minister!

Lin Fan had a better understanding of the situation.

The other party's statement clearly indicates that they know I'm doing this on purpose, and judging from my current attitude, they definitely want to discuss something with me...

This is an implication!

but...

Lin Fan felt quite annoyed.

These big shots are great in every way, except they often speak in riddles that you have to decipher yourself, which is a headache!

"Just as the Seventh Vice Minister thought."

He responded, but too lazy to play riddles for the Seventh Vice Minister to guess, and directly put the topic out in the open. "I want to talk to you."

"Hold on..."

The Seventh Vice Minister spoke first.

Although Liu Gang and the others were somewhat worried, they still left, taking Wu Guodong with them. Then, the group of people surrounded the small house.

then...

Liu Gang then saw a kingfisher with a tuft of Dull Hair on its head standing on the wall.

The worst part is that the kingfisher seemed to be mocking itself, tilting its head and twitching its head!

Liu Gang was already unhappy, and now he was even more frustrated, so he threw the black ball in his hand directly.

I wanted to scare the bird away.

But the result was...

Snap!

With a flap of its wings, the kingfisher sent the black ball flying back in an instant, and at an even faster speed!

Liu Gang's expression changed, and he reached out to catch it, but the force was too great!

Snap!

The black ball flew out of his hand, traveling more than ten meters before landing, and his hand was dislocated and fractured!

"Snort!"

With a muffled groan, Liu Gang broke out in a cold sweat, but he managed not to utter a sound.

But the fear in my heart was beyond words...

That's a kingfisher?!

At that moment, he felt the kingfisher's mockery intensify...

inside the house.

The Seventh Vice Minister gave Lin Fan and his two companions a deep look before asking, "And who are these two?"

"Zhou Xiaoran, the one you want to see."

Lin Fan pointed at Zhou Xiaoran, then at Old Chen: "Old Chen, you should all have seen my information, right? I'm my teacher, the Old Chen who's a pillar of the physics world."

"..."

Even though the Seventh Vice Minister was very composed, he was starting to lose his composure.

The changes are too great!

The Seventh Vice Minister did indeed review the documents before they arrived.

I looked at Zhou Xiaoran's photos very carefully!

He'd seen Old Chen's photos a few times; in fact, he'd met Old Chen a few years ago and even shaken his hand. But now...?

Is this definitely not someone else?!

The Seventh Vice Minister wanted to ask this question, but he knew that Lin Fan had no reason to lie to him.

In other words...

Although the changes are so drastic, they are like completely different people, but these two are Zhou Xiaoran and Old Chen!

"The changes... are really huge."

He spoke, waiting for Lin Fan's reaction.

As it turned out, Lin Fan didn't intend for them to keep quiet, so the Seventh Vice Minister knew that Lin Fan planned to talk in front of the two of them, and said, "What do you want?"

"Cooperate!"

Lin Fan spoke up, "Mutual benefit."

"How can I trust you?" the Seventh Vice Minister retorted.

"With the Dragon Vein severed, spiritual energy depleted, and cultivators becoming increasingly rare in the world, it is too difficult for me to achieve immortality on my own."

"And I think that almost none of you, or rather all of you, can refuse immortality, can do so?"

Lin Fan didn't hide anything; he even openly admitted that he needed help.

He wasn't afraid of being threatened by the Seventh Vice Minister or the authorities on this point, because he was the only one!

Zhou Xiaoran, Old Chen, and Zhou Na?

We're all on the same side!

Besides, even if they 'betrayed' them, they couldn't have done it without the knowledge of the Cultivation World.

"Immortality..."

The Seventh Vice Minister's gaze was deep and unfathomable. "Even if we help you as you say, even with spiritual energy, not everyone can become an immortal, right?"

"That's natural, but even ordinary people can live to around two hundred years old without any accidents. You, Seventh Vice Minister, should understand the benefits of that better than I do."

After listening to Lin Fan's words, the Seventh Vice Minister pondered for a moment.

"The benefits are great, but the drawbacks are equally significant, and there are many problems... You should understand these things."

"That's something you'll have to weigh the options for."

Lin Fan smiled. A question?

Yes, there will be many problems, because this thing... let alone cultivating immortality, even in ancient times, it was considered a matter of chivalry breaking the law with martial arts.

This is just one of the problems!

If we think about it further, given the current lifespan of humans, the Earth's population has already "exploded," reaching two hundred years old?

Can the Earth withstand that?

Over time, won't the ecological environment become unbalanced?

Besides these, there are far too many other issues that need to be considered and resolved...

However, these are not things that Lin Fan needs to solve.

"I am only responsible for proposing cooperation plans; whether or not to cooperate is up to you."

This collaboration will definitely lead to a reasonable solution, so everyone can rest assured.

And then... please give me some monthly tickets, please, my wives~!
