Chapter 518: A Great Honor

At 6:30 pm, Ling Pingan sat in a corner and enjoyed his dinner.

There were very few people in the restaurant today.

Most of them seemed to have found a partner and went out on a date.

Therefore, most of the people who came to the restaurant were dejected and listless. They were not in the mood to eat.

Only Ling Pingan ate his dinner with a peace of mind.

As he chewed, he listened to the discussions of the two people not far in front of him.

One of them said, Now that the world is turbulent, Im afraid brother Yang is going to be rich!

The other person replied, Hehe, its just to earn some hard-earned money How can it compare to brother Zhous power Im afraid that the few farms in Northern Zhou this year will be earning a lot of money!

Upon hearing that, the first person laughed, Thank you! Thank you!

Ling Pingan listened and lowered his head.

This was the irony of this world.

Tens of thousands of miles away, there were people rubbing their hands in excitement for the crisis of this world.

However

This was reality!

Ling Pingan could only sigh.

Otherwise, what else could he do?

He could not just debate with others, could he?

What position should he use?

Not in his position, not thinking about his politics.

As a gentleman, it was already good enough for him to manage himself.

He listened to the two people excitedly discussing how much they would earn this year.

After that, the two of them changed the topic and started talking about the legend of Nightmare.

Did you hear that? the first person said, The royal family has officially established the legend of Nightmares customer service department

It seems that the eldest princess is personally the leader

I heard that this matter is very profitable!

Hmm! The other person nodded mysteriously. Its not just profitable? Its simply profiteering!

Moreover this matter isnt as simple as profiteering!

I heard that the matter of the landing pod is almost becoming a symbol now!

Theres a legend in the imperial city

In the social circle, whether theres a landing pod or not will be a watershed

Families without landing pods will be directly excluded

Tsk! The first person sighed, Do you have to be so exaggerated?!

Why cant it be so exaggerated?!

Ling Pingan shook his head. It could only be said that the people of Imperial City really knew how to play.

It was just a game, yet it could actually become a social watershed?

Just as he was thinking, his phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was 400101.

Oh did he just speak of the Devil?

Gradually, he picked up the call and heard a respectful male voice on the other end of the line, h.e.l.lo, Young Master Ling, we are from the Customer Service Department of Legend of Nightmare

OK! Ling Pingan acknowledged.

The person on the other end of the line said, Since youre a special player of legend of Nightmare, after our companys agreement, weve decided to gift you with a unique virtual reality game login pod for Legend of Nightmare

OK, Ling Pingan acknowledged and roughly understood.

This was just like what he had heard when he was playing canyon.

The closed beta players of canyon game had some out-of-print runes and heroes.

Allegedly, these accounts were currently on the trading platform, and even the cheapest one was worth tens of thousands!

He was officially recognized as a gaming genius, and he was the player who was most compatible with legend of Nightmare.

That was why he could receive some preferential treatment.

He heard the other party ask for his opinion in a tone that was close to asking for instructions. Do you want to collect it in person? Or do you want us to deliver it to the designated address for you?

After thinking for a moment, he said, Arent you guys going to hold a press conference in three days?

Ill just come and get it myself then!

Alright! The other party heaved a sigh of relief and uttered softly, Then, I wish you a happy life!

Good! Ling Pingan laughed. I wish you a happy life too!

Putting down his phone, he couldnt help but snap his fingers happily.

For players, the best things were always labeled as collections, limited, or even unique.

It was just like the online games Ling Pingan played in junior high school.

An out-of-print server only had a few pets. If anyone had one, they would immediately be surrounded by countless people and instantly become the prettiest boy.

In addition, those equipment that had a very low drop rate. No matter how bad their attributes were, they could no longer keep up with the version.

But they could still be sold at a sky-high price!

And now, he had obtained a login pod that the officials said was unique.

Then, wouldnt he be the most beautiful boy in the legend of Nightmare?

With that, he thought about the matter that the two of them had mentioned earlier.

Therefore, he couldnt help but think, If I sell my gaming pod, how much can it be sold for?

Didnt the son of the former richest man say on the internet that a gaming pod cost 10 million?

Selling it for a few hundred million yuan was a piece of cake for him.

I see he thought of it happily. Am I not realizing my freedom of wealth just by lying down?!

He felt that his life creed was indeed correct.

As long as he laid down properly, he could eat comfortably and wait for death.

However, he would never sell a game cabin.

The reason was simple.

What was money?

Was it comparable to the dignity and glory of a gamer?

A real gamer would always treat money as dirt.

Chiba Michiko paced back and forth in front of the cafeteria.

Occasionally, she would look at ling-san, who was eating in a corner of the cafeteria.

She felt extremely conflicted.

If I casually ask Ling-san for help, Im afraid that he will find me annoying? At the end of the day, the courage that she had worked so hard to muster faded like a tide.

What replaced it was boundless cowardice.

How could she not be afraid?

In her eyes, Ling-san was the sage of the world.

The sage of the bamboo forest who lived in seclusion in the busy city.

Therefore, she didnt dare to trouble him!

However, she thought of the request of His Highness Ligongs adopted son, the two scenes described by Dangkang, and her parents fear of the Feathered Fox.

As hundreds of ghosts traveled in the night, they turned the city and the countryside into a ghost town.

The man-eating demons ran amok, and the entire society was out of control.

Fusangs land was crying, and the people were bleeding.

His Highness Taige was the king of demons that was hundreds of times more terrifying than the Feathered Fox!

If he was born, Fusang would have become Lu Chen!

While he was hesitating, Ling-san stood up in the restaurant.

His cat immediately followed, after which Chiba Michiko walked out nervously.

He seemed to have noticed Chiba Michiko. He turned his head to look at the little fox demon and laughed.

Chiba Michiko was like a frightened deer. With a cry, she ran away with all her might.

She still didnt have the courage!

Ling Pingan looked at Chiba Michiko in bafflement. She jumped and ran away like a frightened little animal.

Whats wrong with Chiba? He scratched his head in confusion.

Well, I must go and ask!

In the imperial capital, he didnt know many people.

Other than his aunt, Chu Weiwei, and Hu Nuonuo, Chiba Michiko was his only friend.

What if Chiba Michiko was in trouble?

As a friend, how could he just stand by and watch?

Hence, he quickly chased after her.

Wen Fengming put down the phone and took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

But his body had already betrayed his heart.

According to Young Master X he said in his heart.

While his fingers were trembling, his heart was beating violently.

What was going on?

He understood that as long as this matter was handled well, he would not be the new Luo amba.s.sador to Xia, but the new Luo Prime Minister next year!

He would be in control of the power of a country!

He could even go one step further and seek the t.i.tle of n.o.bility from the Great Xia!

Although Xinluo was not a country of the Great Xia, the Great Xia Empire still had an honorary t.i.tle specially bestowed to friendly people from Xinluo.

For example, Dong Hai Bo, Dong Lai Gong, Xiang Shan Hou

If one could obtain a t.i.tle bestowed by the Great Xias son of Heaven, it would be akin to obtaining an honorable t.i.tle!

With that, one could be buried as an official of the son of heaven after ones death.

Undoubtedly, this would bring glory to the ancestors!

One could even leave their name in the annals of history, which would be pa.s.sed down through the ages!

The Wen family could even use this opportunity to squeeze into the two cla.s.ses, becoming a true family of scholars and officials, and a family of people above others!

Thinking of this, Wen Fengming tightly grabbed the leather on both sides of his chair and dug his nails deep into it.

Calm down! he told himself, You must calm down!

This matter must be hidden from the country first!

This was something that had to be done.

Otherwise, if the country knew that his work had made such progress, his father-in-law would not be able to protect him.

Tomorrows body would be found in the emba.s.sy.

The cause of death would definitely be depression!

If so, the country would quickly send a real double cla.s.s disciple to pick peaches!

It might even be one of his brothers-in-law.

In the face of power, not to mention a visiting son-in-law, the two cla.s.ses dignitaries would not even care about the relations.h.i.+p between father and Son!

Therefore, he had to hide it from the country and not let those vultures smell anything.

I must win Yin Mingxiu over!

As long as Yin Mingxiu believed in him and agreed with him.

Then, he would be invincible.

With this chip, he could make a deal with the country.

At least, he could make his father-in-law think highly of him.

Thinking of this, he immediately began to act.

Picking up the phone, he used a trembling voice to call a big shot he knew in the capital.

The Deputy Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was Zheng Mingrui.

He wanted to get a leg up first!

The Zheng family was indeed excellent!

Chiba! Ling Pingan caught up with Chiba Michiko.

The girl from Fusang didnt run far before she realized that he had caught up with her. Then, like a child who had done something wrong, she stood there foolishly.

Ling-san! Chiba Michiko bowed weakly. Long time no see! She looked at him uneasily.

Um Ling Pingan looked at the little girl. Whats wrong? Are you in trouble?

Upon hearing Ling Sans concern, Chiba Michiko became even more nervous, so she carefully raised her head and looked at the man in front of her.

As she shook her head, she answered, N-Nothing

Her personality made it difficult for her to have the courage to make excessive requests.

Yes..

In her heart, asking for help from this sage was a very excessive thing because she didnt have anything to repay this person.

Their relations.h.i.+p was completely unequal.

She was afraid of being rejected.

She was even more afraid of being promised.

If she was rejected, it would be difficult to meet her in the future.

Even if Ling-san didnt care, she would still care.

Who are you?

Im just a n.o.body

What right do you have to expect Ling-sans help?

Hehe!

Why dont you look at yourself in the mirror?

And if she agreed

That would be even scarier for Chiba Michiko!

What a joke, Vixen!

She actually relied on Ling-sans magnanimity to make such an unreasonable request!

Youre just a devil!

Even the Feathered Fox is not as bad as you!

Therefore, she grabbed the corner of her skirt and emphasized very seriously, Ling-san, Im really fine!

Ling Pingan stared at the little girl in front of him who refused to admit it and still pretended to be fine.

He could not help but laugh because he knew something was not right.

Apparently, the young girl in front of him had an anxious and nervous look on her face, for she must be hiding something

Could it be that I was ostracized by others in the capital? Ling Pingan thought.

This was a very common thing.

Where there were people, there would be battlefield.

A few years ago, the city had been in an uproar. It was very clear that there were conflicts in any circle.

Naturally, the chef circle would not be spared.

Most likely, only the online literature circle would be cleaner. What bad thoughts could a group of otaku men and women who stayed at home writing novels have?

Thinking of this, Ling Pingan had an idea.

With a smile, he said, Thousand night sauce! I want to eat your delicious Fusang food!

Ah! Chiba Michiko raised her head, her eyes filled with surprise. Really?

To her, being able to appreciate the food she made was the greatest affirmation and happiness.

Of course! Ling Pingan said with a smile, You are the best!

Besides him, it was the second best.

When Chiba Michiko was praised, she immediately panicked. She bowed deeply and said, Its my greatest honor to serve Ling San!

Indeed!

It was a great honor to be praised by a sage like Ling-san.

What a great honor!

What had the vixen done?

She could actually cook for such a person!

If not for the request of Ligong and the others, Chiba Michiko would have been eager to cook for Ling-san.

Ling Pingan had a plan in his mind.

As expected, Michiko must have been defeated!

Young people were like that. It was quite easy for them to deny themselves.

Therefore, he smiled and answered, Then, please prepare it for me!

Chiba Michiko replied gratefully, Of course, its my honor!
