Lin Zhan listened to Lin Wu Fa’s words and asked curiously, “Great Grandfather, what level of person is Yu Long Qian Gu?”
Lin Wu Fa rolled his eyes at Lin Zhan. He knew his own grandson too well. Lin Zhan was definitely the type to latch onto whoever was strongest, always picking the biggest thigh to hug.
“Yu Long Qian Gu, the ancestor of the Yu Long clan. He’s from the same era as the Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and Chi You in ancient times. The Dragon Beast he contracted was the Ying Long that once struck terror into ten thousand races in ancient times. He’s also the only one who survived after delivering a surprise blow to Emperor Chi You. His combination with the Ying Long is equivalent to the combination of two Great Emperors.”
As soon as Lin Wu Fa finished speaking, the Fu Long Suo (Dragon Binding Rope) poked its head out of space again and said, “Those two guys aren’t just equivalent to two Great Emperors, they’re the most shameless combination there is. They’re two scoundrels, and they don’t distinguish between friend or foe.”
Lin Zhan looked at the Fu Long Suo, completely bewildered, and said, “Holy crap, Grandpa Suo, how can you talk? You’ve had thoughts all along, so you saw everything I did before, right?”
The Fu Long Suo glanced at Lin Zhan and said, “What’s there to see about your little sprout of a person? Is it strange that I can talk? My previous life was that of a Dragon Clan Great Emperor, but I was killed in battle by the siege of ten thousand races. Yu Long Qian Gu and Ying Long, those two scumbags, refined my dragon corpse into a treasure artifact, then nurtured my dragon soul. I was meant to revive one day. Instead, they turned me into this.”
“Later, I heard Emperor Chi You say that Yu Long Qian Gu and Ying Long were just bragging drunk. But by then, I was already refined, and it was too late to regret it. I hope you, kid, can help me.”
Lin Zhan and the others were completely dumbfounded after hearing this. Was this kind of god-tier operation something a human could do?
“That, Grandpa Suo, what can I do to help you? Just say the word, and we don’t need to be polite with each other.”
The Fu Long Suo nodded and said, “Of course, I can’t be polite with you. From the moment I encountered you, kid, I felt a mysterious force of destiny within you. Your future achievements will surely be considerable. I hope that one day, you can help me reshape my dragon body and restore my soul.”
Lin Zhan patted his chest and promised, “Don’t worry, Grandpa Suo. Although I, Lin Zhan, am not a good person, you, Grandpa Suo, have helped me more than once or twice. If that day comes, I will definitely help you return to your dragon form with all my might.”
Then, Lin Zhan said with a lecherous expression, “Grandpa Suo, look at how great our relationship is. Can you let me off the hook too? My Lin family is on the brink of extinction, and it all depends on me.”
The Fu Long Suo said exasperatedly, “Good person? Besides your looks, what else about you is human? Do you think I’m willing to concern myself with the private life of your little sprout? It’s just that your prime yang is not stable. Contacting yin energy now will damage your foundation and affect your future achievements. Besides, even if I do this, you haven’t been idle, have you? You’ve done that singing, playing, and storytelling thing quite a bit.”
“Forget it, talking too much is annoying. As long as you’re not in danger, I’m too lazy to care about you.” After saying that, the Fu Long Suo once again vanished into the void.
Lin Zhan looked at Zhang Ling Xiu beside him, her face flushed red, and yelled at the disappearing Fu Long Suo, “You old fossil who can’t tell a seductive glance from a normal one, no wonder you died so early.”
Lin Wu Fa shook his head and said to Kong Xiang Ming, “Alas, I’m getting old, and my hearing isn’t what it used to be. Xiang Ming, help me back.”
Kong Xiang Ming helped Lin Wu Fa and shouted loudly, “Second Granduncle, what did you say? I’ve had a sore throat these past few days and can’t hear anything.”
Lin Zhan watched Lin Wu Fa and Kong Xiang Ming walk away and said angrily, “None of these old geezers are good people. One day, I’ll nail you all into your coffins.”
Then, Young Master Lin resumed his sycophantic mode, came to Zhang Ling Xiu’s side, and said naughtily, “Wife, we’ll do what we need to do. Don’t let these old guys disturb our happy and harmonious marital life.”
Zhang Ling Xiu rolled her eyes at Lin Zhan, but didn’t say anything. Instead, she pointed towards the breakfast table.
Lin Zhan followed the direction of his wife’s finger and saw a little fatty still wolfing down food at the table, having completely devoured his untouched breakfast.
The young Taoist Zhang Hao Ming sensed something and looked up at Lin Zhan, saying, “Boss, I saw you were chatting away nicely, and the breakfast got cold, so I ate it all for you. I didn’t hear anything you said just now.”
Lin Zhan looked at the little fatty with a bulging stomach and reluctantly said, “Xiao Ming, after you finish eating, go and gather all the brothers.”
“I’m going now, boss.” The young Taoist ran out upon hearing this.
Lin Zhan called out to Lin Yi, who was standing guard outside, “Lin Yi, go and invite uncles Lin Long and Lin Hu, as well as the weapon experts from the military, the head of the arsenal, and the logistics supervisor. Invite them all to come.”
Zhang Ling Xiu looked at Lin Zhan and asked, “Husband, what are you going to do? Aren’t we going to class today?”
Lin Zhan shook his head and said, “What class? The teacher hasn’t arrived yet. Wife, have someone prepare some tea, snacks, and fruits, and set them up outside. We’ll wait for everyone to arrive.”
After speaking, Lin Zhan walked into the courtyard and found a lounge chair, lying down lazily again.
Before long, the entire China War Team had arrived. The men sat beside Lin Zhan, while the girls went into the villa to chat with Zhang Ling Xiu.
Lin Zhan looked at everyone and said directly, “Our military funds have been secured. The Caesar family is providing them. The two deals we made yesterday earned us 2.4 million, plus the 2 million in military funds provided by the military. I plan to develop a batch of new weapons. Does anyone have any suggestions?”
Everyone thought for a moment. Leng Shan said, “Old Lin, could you get me some of that breeding elixir from last time? When two armies clash, there will always be cannon fodder to consume our firepower. And according to the old tactics of the allied forces of ten thousand races, this cannon fodder is either undead skeletons or beastmen rat-folk. Although it’s a bit of a dog chasing a mouse to meddle, my Leng family’s hunting dogs are the most effective against these two types of cannon fodder.”
Everyone nodded in agreement with Leng Shan’s words.
Lin Zhan looked at Leng Shan and said, “Old Leng, how long does it take for your Leng family to cultivate hunting dogs from Bronze advanced to Silver beginner, and is there a possibility of large-scale breeding?”
Leng Shan nodded and said, “The Leng family’s newly cultivated wolfhounds take about 10 months to mature. After maturation, their average level can reach Bronze peak, with the lead dog reaching Silver high-grade. About 200 dogs form a pack, which is also the main cannon fodder dog breed I’ve chosen to target for the war a year from now.”
“Then there are the Leng family’s mastiffs. They mature in about 20 months, with an average level of Silver high-grade, and the lead dog can reach Golden high-grade. After the Fusang War, I got that breeding elixir from you to cultivate mastiffs, and it’s been over four months now.”
