The next day!

Cloud Street.

The townsfolk who queued for scallion pancakes were increasing. Especially now that Lin Fan’s fame was getting bigger and bigger, practically everyone in Shanghai knew about the ‘Master Lin’ shop.

To many people, this Master Lin was a little strange. He already had so much fame but he still only ran a small shop. It was really quite strange.

Moreover, he only sold scallion pancakes and his secondary occupation was fortune-telling.

It could even be said to be exceptionally strange.

Fraud Tian sat at the entrance, smoking his cigarette. Looking at the increasing number of people, he felt an aching in his heart. These were all walking dollar bills. They could easily earn money from these people but it couldn’t be helped since the kid was so stubborn. He would only sell ten servings of scallion pancakes a day. How much could they possibly earn from that?

But honestly, ever since Fraud Tian had started following that kid, he felt as if his life had become a lot more interesting. It was a huge difference from before.

But even this kid couldn’t help him leave his single life. This made him a little disappointed.

It seemed that he would have to work hard on his own regarding that.

Noontime.

Lin Fan had completed all his work. He packed his fishing rod and started his car. He was about to go fishing again.

“Look after the shop for me. I’m going out.” He realized that fishing felt pretty good. It really could allow one to quieten one’s heart.

But the slightly f*cked up part was that he hadn’t fished up any legendary items yet. All he had been fishing up were strange and random things. That was pretty f*cked up.

Zhao Zhong Yang saw that Lin Fan was going to fish and instantly became excited. Then, he came forward shamelessly. “Brother Lin, bring me along, won’t you? My fishing skills are pretty awesome.”

Lin Fan glanced at Zhao Zhong Yang. He definitely couldn’t bring this guy along. If he fished up some big monster, it would probably scare this guy to death.

“No way. Just stay here and look after the shop. See ya!”

Then, he immediately left.

Fraud Tian, who was sitting at the entrance, chuckled. “Stop being lazy, kid. Our boss’s lifestyle isn’t something you can experience.”

Fraud Tian still held a grudge against Zhao Zhong Yang. He still remembered what had happened a while back. Hence, whenever the opportunity came up, he had to insult Zhao Zhong Yang.

“Fraud, are you trying to battle it out with me?” Zhao Zhong Yang had long felt that Fraud Tian had developed ill-intentions towards him.

But he wasn’t bothered by it. He was a resourceful person.

As long as he slowly leaked out some information, he could guarantee that Fraud would immediately start sucking up to him.

By the river.

This time, Lin Fan chose a better location. There was no one around and no one would come across this place. He could peacefully fish.

He hooked on the bait, cast the rod, and sat there waiting quietly.

The water surface was very calm. He wondered what he would catch this time. At the same time, he was very curious. How did all these strange things come up? It didn’t feel right.

Suddenly, he felt a tug on his rod. His face lit up.

It’s here! This time, it was really quicker than usual.

I wonder what I’ll get this time.

He really wanted to get a medicinal herb. The two types of herbs that he had accumulated were all good ingredients for pill-crafting but he didn’t have enough types of herbs to craft the pill he wanted yet.

“It’s here. Let me see what you’ll give me this time!” Lin Fan was completely focused as he gazed forward, pulling his fishing rod.

“Hey, what’s this?” A dark and swarthy object reflected the sunlight in front of him.

It looked like something good but then again, not really.

When the object reached his hands, he frowned. What is this thing?

However, he could feel a sense of power emanating from this pill.

“Dahuan pill. Increases power by 60 years’ worth.”

He understood now. He hadn’t expected to obtain a godly pill from the Shaolin monasteries of Wuxia films.

If he was completely weak and powerless, he would have been exhilarated but now, he just felt normal. After all, this wouldn’t be of much use to him.

He pondered for a moment before deciding to swallow the pill anyway.

A burst of heat circulated around his body. Then, it disappeared like a drop of water entering the sea. It didn’t even cause a ripple.

“Meaningless. Completely meaningless.” Lin Fan shook his head before casting his fishing rod again and quietly sitting in wait.

Time passed, minute by minute, second by second. Nothing got hooked.

“Greetings, Master Lin.” At that moment, a voice came from behind.

Lin Fan turned around curiously and saw an old-timer being supported by a lady as they stood before him.

“You are…?” Lin Fan didn’t recognize this old man but, seeing some silhouettes in the distance, he already had a rough idea. This old man wasn’t simple. He even had bodyguards with him. He seemed to be an important person.

But whether or not he was important meant nothing to Lin Fan.

In Lin Fan’s eyes, it was all the same.

“Master Lin, I’m the Chairman of IOA Human Genome Corporation. I’m here today because I’d like to discuss a business deal with Master Lin.” The old-timer’s eyes had a fiery gleam to them.

To him, this Master Li was really too mystical. He was so mystical that it made them a little excited.

“IOA?” Lin Fan really didn’t know what this corporation was supposed to be. But that gaze from the old man made him a little lost for words. It was as if this old man saw Lin Fan as some kind of treasure.

“IOA is a company which was established overseas. It supports human research. To us, humans are creatures with the most potential in this world. Every cell and every organ is perfectly made. I think, if we unveil the inner treasures of the human body, it would definitely bring about a huge change in human life.”

“For example, immortality…”

Lin Fan looked lifeless. He had been shocked by this old man’s words.

To the old-timer, Lin Fan’s expression was just what he had expected. Because no one could resist the allure of immortality.

The reason he was here this time was simple. He had developed an interest in Lin Fan’s Chinese medical abilities, especially in his mystical pill-crafting. He felt that if he wanted to take his research one step further, he would require Master Lin’s help.

At that moment, Lin Fan stood up.

A grin appeared on the old-timer’s face. But in an instant, it vanished.

Lin Fan kept his fishing rod and looked at the old man alertly. “Sorry, but I’m not interested in multi-level marketing. You’ve found the wrong person…”

Then, he dusted off his pants before preparing to leave.

D*mn, that’s dangerous. That’s way too dangerous.

There are even old men coming out to scam people now. And he even talked about immortality. He must be trying to scam me into joining a criminal group.
