Chapter 131: 124, Don’t Treat People as Fools (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
They’re here?
Lu Lin reacted for a moment, then realized Li Na must be referring to Feng Yuanyu and his group, the East Forest Seven Youngsters.
Let them come; Lu Lin wasn’t scared of them.
Seeing Lu Lin sitting there, unaffected, Li Na became anxious. "Young man," she said, "I appreciate your help yesterday, but these people are not to be trifled with. Even if they can’t beat you, they will bully your family members."
"Your parents can’t possibly be as powerful as you, right? Listen to me; as a young man, you should know when to step back. It’s too irrational to confront these people head-on."
Lu Lin thought about it. Li Na’s words are reasonable. He then started eating his steak.
Well, Lu Lin, this unsophisticated fellow, didn’t know how to use a knife and fork. He had ordered a steak and had the chef cut it up for him so he could pick up the pieces with chopsticks.
"Oh, why aren’t you worried..."
Just as Li Na was about to say more, she caught sight of the approaching East Forest Seven Youngsters from the corner of her eye and quickly stopped talking. She stood beside Lu Lin, carefully watching Feng Yuanyu and the others.
Feng Yuanyu approached Lu Lin, a smile on his face. "Oh, Brother Lu, eating alone?"
Although he was smiling, when he saw Lu Lin using chopsticks to pick up the steak, he couldn’t help but reveal a contemptuous look.
"Hmm."
"What, Mr. Feng, no food? Why not sit down and have some?"
Lu Lin spoke casually without even lifting his head.
A flash of anger crossed Feng Yuanyu’s eyes.
He was the great young master of the Feng family, accustomed to a life of luxury, with millions in pocket money every month. How could he be short of food?
"Brother Lu, you joke, hehe."
"By the way, Brother Lu, you helped Xiao Wu out that day, right? To thank you, I’ve prepared a fun game for you. I don’t know if you’d be interested," Feng Yuanyu said.
"A game?"
Lu Lin swallowed the steak in his mouth, then lifted his head to look at Feng Yuanyu.
"Is it fun?"
"Fun? Of course, it’s fun! Once Brother Lu goes, I guarantee you’ll be screaming with excitement and won’t be able to stop."
Feng Yuanyu’s smile grew wider.
As long as Lu Lin follows him, he has plenty of ways to deal with him.
"Then I won’t play."
Lu Lin lowered his head and picked up another piece of steak to eat.
Feng Yuanyu almost choked on Lu Lin’s reply.
Damn it, I told you it was fun, and you’re refusing to go? If I’d known this would happen, why did you even bother asking?
However, Feng Yuanyu quickly realized Lu Lin was just teasing him.
To think that he, the esteemed leader of the East Forest Seven Youngsters, who prided himself on outwitting everyone, had been played by a nobody like Lu Lin!
Feng Yuanyu clenched his teeth. "Brother Lu, this isn’t up to you."
"We’ll be arriving at Alien in about 40 hours. I don’t know if you’ve heard, but the federation there isn’t strict in managing Star Core Warriors. One careless move could lead to death."
"Hmm."
Lu Lin mumbled an ambiguous reply, swallowed his steak, and then said, "Sister Li, can you get me some water? Eating steak dry is quite choking."
Li Na was thoroughly impressed by Lu Lin. How can he chat so casually while being threatened like this?
She agreed and went to buy a bottle of Pepsi Cola for Lu Lin. He saw it was his favorite flavor, picked it up, and tilted his head back.
GLUG, GLUG, GLUG, GLUG, GLUG. He downed the entire bottle of Pepsi Cola.
Afterward, he turned to Feng Yuanyu. "Mr. Feng, what were you saying just now?"
Feng Yuanyu: "..."
Suppressing his anger, Feng Yuanyu said, "Brother Lu, are you sure you don’t want to consider playing a game with me?"
"If you win, it’s one million per game."
SLAM!
Lu Lin suddenly slapped the table, startling Feng Yuanyu.
"Mr. Feng, why didn’t you say so earlier?"
"Let’s go, let’s go! Hurry up! It’s a rare opportunity for Mr. Feng to be so generous to a poor man like me. Opportunity knocks but once!"
Lu Lin slung an arm around Feng Yuanyu’s shoulder and started walking. After a few steps, he turned back to shout to Li Na, "Sister Li, don’t throw away my unfinished steak! I’ll be back to eat it after I play for a while."
"Mr. Feng, let’s go."
Li Na stared blankly after them. Is Lu Lin incredibly bold, or just clueless? Going with them clearly won’t lead to anything good, but to Lu Lin, it seems as exciting as going out for a drink with friends.
Little did she know.
By this time, Lu Lin had cultivated the Golden Body Sutra to the Second Layer, his strength reaching 6,000 pounds.
Plus, having just eaten his fill, he was brimming with energy and looking for an outlet.
This trip might just be a chance to test the Second Layer of the Golden Body Sutra.
The 1.85-meter-tall Feng Yuanyu, caught in Lu Lin’s arm lock, seemed to shrink in height.
"Mr. Feng, which way are we going?"
"This way... no, that way... turn left... turn right... We’re here..."
Feng Yuanyu, completely transformed into a guide dog, led Lu Lin all the way to the place he had arranged.
Lu Lin looked at the heavy metal door before him, pulled it open, and a wave of heat, noise, and hormones washed over him.
A dimly lit venue, a brightly lit stage.
Pounding music, swaying bodies.
The mingled scents of various alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, cigarettes, and the hormones of countless men and women.
It made Lu Lin a bit dizzy.
Did Feng Yuanyu really bring him to a bar to hang out?
In a place like this, it was hard to hear even the person next to you. So, Lu Lin simply followed Feng Yuanyu’s guidance to a booth, sat down, and ordered drinks.
"Brother Lu, are you comfortable with this place?" Feng Yuanyu asked, lighting a cigarette. He was about to cross his legs but, after a glance from Lu Lin, quietly put them down.
"Just tell me directly, how do we play?"
"I’ve heard that you East Forest Seven Youngsters are quite famous in the East Forest Continent. Nobody would believe you invited me here just for a drink."
CLAP, CLAP, CLAP.
Feng Yuanyu clapped three times, but in Lu Lin’s opinion, it was a far cry from Chow Yun-fat’s expression package.
"Brother Lu is right. My brother Xiao Wu may not have handled things well that day, but you broke three of his ribs with one punch. That was a bit heavy-handed."
"As for me, I’m the type to repay kindness, and I don’t like to let grudges fester overnight."
"Brother Lu, you helped me counsel Xiao Wu, and I’m grateful. I’ll transfer you 500,000 later as thanks."
"But..."
"You injuring my brother Xiao Wu, that went beyond mere counseling. And I’m a very reasonable person."
"Brother Lu, go up there and compete. If you win, I’ll give you one million."
"If you lose," Feng Yuanyu suddenly paused, then laughed, "well, if you lose, you lose. I promise not to bother you again after this. What do you think?"
After saying this, Feng Yuanyu held his cigarette in his right hand and looked at Lu Lin with a smile, waiting to see his choice.
Lu Lin lowered his head, thinking quietly.
But after just a few seconds, Lu Lin looked up at Feng Yuanyu again.
"Your choice is—"
BANG!
Before Feng Yuanyu could finish, Lu Lin punched him in the face. Caught completely off guard, Feng Yuanyu’s face blossomed with bruises.
He clutched his nose, his expression incredulous.
He hadn’t expected Lu Lin to be so reckless. To just throw a punch without a word!ŸŸŸ
Feng Yuanyu had been influential in the East Forest Continent for many years and had never encountered anyone like this.
Clutching his nose, he was speechless for a moment.
Seeing this, Lu Lin chuckled.
"Mr. Feng, you enjoy playing mind games, and that’s fine. It’s good, commendable even."
"But if you want to play mind games, you first need to be able to withstand physical force."
"How does that saying go? ’Study to be able to reason with fools; cultivate so fools will reason with you.’"
"If you want to play, show some sincerity. Constantly treating others like fools only makes you the fool."
"Don’t you agree?"
Lu Lin patted Feng Yuanyu’s cheek.
"Alright, Mr. Feng, I don’t like places like this, so I’ll be heading back first."
"We have 40 hours before landing on Alien. Behave yourself and don’t cause trouble."
After speaking, Lu Lin looked at the young men following Feng Yuanyu, grinned, and showed his eight pearly white teeth.
In the dim light of the place, Lu Lin’s smile, however, looked demonic.
Behind him, Feng Yuanyu’s face alternated between green and red, a colorful and unpredictable display.
