"Can't you guys take it easy? Even if it's that good, you can't eat so much at once!"
"I'll make more in the future if you want to eat more. Can you still eat watermelon now?" Wang Xiaoru cut the watermelon Lin Fei brought and placed it on the coffee table, saying, "Lin Fei, the watermelon you brought is really sweet and tastes great, just like the ones we buy in summer."
"If you like it, that's great. Watermelons with this flavor are hard to find in the market now. I was lucky to get the last few." Lin Fei leaned lazily on the sofa.
"Is it really that good? I want to try, uh, never mind, I'll eat it later. I really can't eat anything now." Zhou Yue lay lazily on the sofa.
"Xiaoru, does your gym have a cultivation room?" Lin Fei asked.
"Yes! It was the government that sent people to ask if we wanted to build a cultivation room. Our boss put all his savings into it and built 10 cultivation rooms at once." Wang Xiaoru said.
"Very ambitious. Cultivators will become more and more numerous. Taking the lead now will give you a head start," Lin Fei said admiringly.
"Cultivators! Possessing powers beyond the ordinary, everyone has a superhero dream. Unfortunately, it consumes a lot of resources, and not everyone can continue on this path. For someone like me with average talent, living a peaceful and happy life is the most important thing." Zhou Yue said with her eyes closed.
"Right, happiness is the most important thing." Wang Xiaoru agreed.
"Alright! It's getting late, I'll go home first." Lin Fei checked the time; it was already 8:30, and he only had half an hour left before the agreed transaction time.
"What's the rush? It's only a few o'clock, let's play a bit more." Zhou Yue opened her eyes and turned to Lin Fei.
"Right! It's still early!" Wang Xiaoru said.
"No, I'll come next time. I have an appointment with a friend to do some things." Lin Fei glanced at Zhou Yue, whose chest was more prominent due to her side-lying position, and said.
"Is it a girl? A date?" Zhou Yue asked.
"It's a guy!"
"I knew it! How could a girl have a date with you!" Zhou Yue laughed heartily.
"Hey, that's not fair. If I wanted to date a girl, it would be a piece of cake!" Lin Fei said indignantly.
"Wow! Mr. Lin is so confident. Why don't you make a date right now for me to see? Let me broaden my horizons." Zhou Yue got up and leaned on the sofa, smiling at Lin Fei.
"It's so late, where can I find someone? I'll make a date for you to see another time." Lin Fei said sheepishly: "I'll go now."
Lin Fei got up and walked towards the door.
"Wait a moment, I've packed some pan-fried dumplings for you to take home." Wang Xiaoru went to the kitchen and handed the packed dumplings to Lin Fei.
"Thanks! I'll go now." Lin Fei said.
"Be careful on the way." Wang Xiaoru reminded him.
"Don't go out with other guys and get into bad habits, got it?" Zhou Yue warned him.
"Uh! What are you saying? I'm not that kind of person." Lin Fei turned and glared at Zhou Yue before leaving their home.
Lin Fei left Xing'an Garden and found a secluded place to activate his ability to return home. He first put the dumplings Wang Xiaoru packed for him into the dimensional space, then went to his bedroom to change his clothes. Today he wore a hooded jacket, which could effectively conceal him.
Checking the time on his phone, it was 8:55. Lin Fei activated his ability again and appeared in a park near Old Wang's spirit stone shop. He observed the surroundings and, confirming no one was around, walked out of the woods, left the park, and headed towards Old Wang's spirit stone shop.
The salesgirl at the shop entrance recognized Lin Fei as he approached. After all, it was rare to see someone wearing sunglasses at night, especially with a black baseball cap.
Lin Fei calmly walked into Old Wang's spirit stone shop.
"Sir, you're here! Our boss has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me to the same private room as last time." The salesgirl greeted him warmly.
Lin Fei nodded at her and followed her to the private room.
"Boss, the gentleman has arrived." The salesgirl welcomed Lin Fei into the private room and then turned to leave.
Wang Wu stood up to welcome him: "Sir, you're right on time! I've been waiting for a long time. Please sit down and have some tea. This tea is made from leaves I had a friend specially pick from a spirit tea tree, and it has a unique flavor."
Lin Fei looked around the room. Besides Wang Wu, there were two other men, one around 20 years old and the other around 40. These two had a different relationship with Wang Wu compared to the salesgirl.
Of course, Lin Fei couldn't help but notice the pile of money in the corner, but to avoid appearing too eager, he only glanced at it briefly. Even that brief glance made his heart race.
Wang Wu, seeing Lin Fei look at Wang Zhen and Chen Xiaoliu, introduced them: "This is my son and my good friend. Because the amount of cash needed this time is huge and has to be transferred from multiple banks, I asked them to help me."
Wang Zhen secretly observed Lin Fei, thinking, "His appearance is disguised, most of his face is covered, and his voice is deliberately lowered. However, his skin looks very young, so his actual age should not be over 30."
Lin Fei took a sip of the spirit tea provided by Wang Wu. It was indeed excellent. As soon as the tea entered his mouth, he could feel a faint spiritual energy being absorbed by his body. He nodded: "Good tea, let's start the transaction."
He raised his right hand and swept it over the table, and a large bag of spirit energy ore appeared on the table.
"Please inspect it," Lin Fei said calmly.
Wang Wu opened the bag and took out the spirit energy ore. This time, it was different from last time. Last time, a single piece of spirit energy ore weighed 30 pounds, but this time, the 90 pounds of ore were divided into over twenty pieces.
Wang Wu and the others looked at the goods worth 141 million yuan, feeling extremely excited. Although he had a net worth of several billion, this transaction represented a solid foothold for him in the spirit energy industry. The man in front of him had the potential to become a long-term supplier.
…
Sasa, a gust of autumn wind blew, and the street trees rustled. A cloud drifted from the distance, blocking the bright moon.
Two figures emerged from a dark alley, followed by several dozen men in black.
"Number 10, take half the men to the store on the east side to pick up the goods. I'll take the others to the west side."
"Number 9, have the surveillance cameras on the road been taken care of?"
"Don't worry, they've been handled. Finish the operation within 15 minutes, no delays."
"Understood, Groups 1 to 3, follow me. If there's any resistance, don't hold back."
"Yes…"
