Chapter 88

Lin Xiao has a grand goal. An individual's power is limited, but when a group's strength is combined, it becomes like chopsticks—unity is strength.

For this test, Lin Xiao has made all the necessary preparations. His goal is far-reaching; he has never lacked money, but what he lacks is energy.

How can one obtain energy? This is the problem. It's impossible to always have luck on one's side, so Lin Xiao came up with a plan.

He wants to achieve his goal by selling rare flowers and plants. However, just selling them is not enough; no one would believe him.

People's first reaction to unknown or supernatural things is to reject them. Although everyone knows society is unfair, they still have the enthusiasm to strive within the rules.

Lin Xiao has been testing the waters, but he hasn't truly decided to do this. Telling He Pingji and Ye Ding was just an initial idea, hoping they could use their extensive experience to advise him.

The biggest reason is that the rare flowers and plants Lin Xiao has can only be sold in a few varieties.

...

"Brother, don't fool us, how is this possible?" Ye Ding was the first to recover from his shock and said.

"I'm not fooling you. Wait a moment, I'll bring it for you to see." Lin Xiao pretended to go upstairs, returned to his room, locked the door, and ran into the space to take out the already mature Yanghuo Fruit.

"This is the Yanghuo Fruit I mentioned. As long as someone is not dead and still has a breath, they can be saved, and they can live for an additional five years." Lin Xiao held out the Yanghuo Fruit.

He Pingji and Ye Ding's eyes were immediately drawn to it, carefully examining the Yanghuo Fruit.

The Yanghuo Fruit looks like an orange, but its golden exterior distinguishes it from ordinary oranges.

The most crucial point is the fruit's fragrance, a scent they had never smelled before.

He Pingji and Ye Ding took a deep breath, instantly feeling refreshed and invigorated, more comfortable than after taking drugs.

He Pingji and Ye Ding exchanged a shocked glance, confirming that the feeling was not an illusion.

Ye Ding was a bit more composed, struggling to pull his gaze away from the Yanghuo Fruit and said to Lin Xiao, "Brother, I won't ask where this thing comes from. Seeing it in person and feeling it just now, I can say without hesitation that it's a priceless treasure."

"Most importantly, Brother, you trust us so much, aren't you afraid we'll spread the word?" He Pingji, hearing Ye Ding's words, also came to his senses and asked.

"Not afraid. Since I've taken it out, I'm not afraid of it being exposed. Even if it is exposed, others will think it's a joke, and how many will take it seriously?" Lin Xiao smiled.

"Speak up, since you've taken out such a thing, what's your plan?" Ye Ding had a rough idea of Lin Xiao's thoughts but was unsure, so he asked.

"I want to organize a super-small auction. The number of participants doesn't need to be large, and the items for sale will be quite rare." Lin Xiao finally spoke his mind.

"To be honest, this is a bit difficult. If you want to auction something like this, the first thing is that you need to be very wealthy, and second, it will attract the attention of people with ill intentions. Brother, do you want your life to be more colorful?" Ye Ding expressed his concerns, and He Pingji nodded in agreement.

Lin Xiao thought about those days of intrigue and shuddered, immediately shaking his head.

"Moreover, if you release something like this, the relevant authorities will take notice, and you'll be invited for a 'chat.' This is not an ordinary thing." Ye Ding continued.

A scene flashed through Lin Xiao's mind: a small, confined space, a scorching white light shining on his face, bloodshot eyes, and a listless spirit. Several people in front of him continuously bombarded his ears with words. He shuddered again.

"It seems I thought too simply." Lin Xiao sighed after calming down.

"The main issue is that the item is too shocking." Ye Ding concluded.

"Actually, there might be a way." He Pingji suddenly said.

"How? Do you have a way to avoid those people?" Ye Ding asked in surprise.

Lin Xiao also looked at He Pingji, eager to hear his thoughts. Seeing that both Lin Xiao and Ye Ding were focused on him, He Pingji began to explain his idea: "If it's just a super-small auction, the two of us should have the ability to help you find buyers, and there won't be any leaks. The relevant authorities won't pay attention to you unless you do something to harm the country, which would draw their attention."

Ye Ding carefully considered He Pingji's suggestion and thought it was feasible.

"This can work. If it's a super-small auction, the number of participants won't exceed 10 people. He Pingji and I together have more than enough true friends. They trust us, which will be beneficial for the first auction, which can also be considered a gathering." Ye Ding added.

"Even if He Pingji and I trust you, the prerequisite is that you can show something to make our friends trust you. This is the condition for organizing this super-small auction." He Pingji advised.

Ye Ding agreed, "This is the most critical point."

Lin Xiao felt his head was about to explode. He just wanted to organize a simple auction to collect meteorites and energy in the future, with no other intentions. But after He Pingji and Ye Ding's analysis, it seemed really difficult.

Moreover, how can one prove it? Rare flowers and plants are one less with each use. Unless they are special types that can bear fruit, they can be repeatedly cultivated.

Currently, the only things in Lin Xiao's space that can be repeatedly cultivated are the Yanghuo Fruit from the Yinyuan Flower and the fruit from an unknown plant that strengthens the body. He couldn't bear to use or sell the others; that would be foolish.

Lin Xiao sighed, "This won't work, that's not right. It seems my idea can't be realized."

"Ha ha ha, I have an idea, I'm a genius." Lin Xiao suddenly jumped up, laughing loudly. He had been in a depressed state, but in an instant, he became like this, scaring He Pingji and Ye Ding. They glared at Lin Xiao.
