"At that time, I should have been under the car, or playing dead as a speed bump! To prevent you all from complaining that I'm in the way..."
"No, I shouldn't be the one in the way..."
"The real obstacles are you all. As long as I can join forces with other members of the Lin family in Xia Country, I can use my legitimate status to strip the Lin Yi branch of their power, and thus seize the assistance of the Lin family in Xia Country, I shall ascend....."
Lin Zhe was carrying a metal box as he stepped out of the car, muttering about how Lin Ying is biased, only caring about the fox and treating him like air, ignorantly. But as he spoke, his expression gradually turned stern.
Even the words from his mouth became poisonous, and his thoughts were filled with opportunism.
Lin Zhe returned to the form he was in when he first came to Xia Country, before he was beaten up by Master Fox. He strolled into the manor, walked up the enclosed spiral staircase to the second floor, looked around, and headed in a direction.
Lin Zhe seemed to be very familiar with this place, disappearing from everyone's sight in just a moment.
Even the surveillance cameras in the control room could not find his trace inside the manor.
The security personnel in the security room, upon noticing Lin Zhe's anomaly, immediately reported it to Lin Bingyun.
"Miss, Lin Zhe has disappeared in the manor..." Lin Bingyun leaned down beside Lin Ying and whispered softly.
"He's gone to do what he should be doing." Lin Ying spoke lightly, not finding Lin Zhe's disappearance unusual.
From the moment Lin Zhe took out the strange metal box, Lin Ying had already guessed that Grandmaster's return to Xia Country had purposes beyond just eliminating traitors, there must be other matters.
Since the control room couldn't find his traces, the only possibility was that the Grandmaster had already entered the interior of the defensive works.
"Master Fox, here you go..."
Sitting in the European dome sunroom, as the sunset slowly cloaked the sky with a red glow, and the bright full moon peeked out from the night sky. Lin Ying, not wanting to worry about trivial matters, picked up soda crackers from the table, rinsed the heavy-salted caviar in a tea strainer, spread it on the crackers, and handed it to Master Fox, smilingly said:
"The meal will take a while, have some appetizers first to whet your appetite!"
There was originally supposed to be soup before the meal, but apparently, Master Fox has never been interested in broths, so they just skipped it and served large portions of appetizers directly.
"Good!"
Master Fox stood up on his hind legs, standing on the chair, tiptoeing, and propping up the edge of the round table with one paw, extending another paw to receive the cracker Lin Ying handed over, munching on it.
"By the way, Lin Ying..."
While eating, Master Fox seemed to have thought of something, looked at Lin Ying, and said: "Can you help me apply for an overseas social media account?"
"Hmm?"
Lin Ying uttered a light exclamation, seemingly very surprised by what Master Fox had said, and replied: "It's not difficult to apply for an account, but as far as I know, overseas social platforms, apart from looking at explicit pictures or arguing with foreigners, seem to have no significance for us."
"Moreover...."
Before Lin Ying could finish, Master Fox already let out a cold snort.
"Being able to scold foreigners is the point; I want to activate my mic and directly curse foreigners."
Master Fox expressed dissatisfaction with a soft hum and said: "I, Master Fox, want to apply for an account just to scold people."
"Although Old Feng doesn't speak, and just keeps accepting the help from those backed by the Longevity Club, in some sense, we're also on the losing end."
"As the saying goes, you can only prevent a thief for a thousand days, but you can't stop a thief every single day! Currently, Ansheng, even though there are no plans of going abroad yet,"
"But upon arriving home at noon, inspired by Ah Qing's genius brain, I thought of a way to kick the Longevity Club's basket."
"I'm planning to stir up some trouble for them, so they won't come to bother me without any reason!" A "hee hee" mischievous grin appeared on Master Fox's small face, looking very adorable.
"Oh?"
Lin Ying showed a surprised smile, seemingly very interested in what Master Fox said.
The Longevity Club is indeed a formidable power.
The combined worth of all its members could reach hundreds of billions of US dollars, which is normal. On the international stage with a theatrical voting system, wealth, after accumulation, can translate into political and military power, controlling the media's voice.
In the Grandmaster's words, the Longevity Club abroad is an existence that can block out the sky with one hand.
Is it possible for Master Fox to borrow their platform and cause trouble in their territory?
"First off!"
Master Fox picked up the teacup, took a sip of the black tea inside to moisten his throat, but the fragrance of flowers and sweetness filled his mouth like roasted sweet potatoes, lingering in his palate.
"Hmm..."
Ansheng smacked his lips, savoring the high-grade black tea taste, and then said: "I am going to authenticate my account, and directly write at the certification: Master Fox, Xia Country Certified [Holy Spirit of Good Fortune], just start with some jargon."
The [Territory] in Xia Country's academia directly corresponds to [Holy Spirit] in overseas academia, symbolizing people under divinity.
"Hmm....." Lin Ying showed a contemplative expression, unable to grasp Master Fox's intentions.
"Then, I'd also write: Whoever dares to hack the account of Master Fox will face annihilation of their entire family within three days."
"The moment I make a move, I'll rush to the account of that Old Witch's company who put a bounty on me, and start by saying 'rume', and then there's..... oh right, which country does that fast food queen belong to?"
"I remember it's with a humming sound," Lin Ying answered.
"Close her mouth with a plunger, stick it on her big white bald head, push her to the window sill, and crazily greet her rejuvenated body."
Old Master Fuli snorted coldly, "Finally, run to leave a comment under Big Boss America's account, just say that the Longevity Club has been hiding the revival of spiritual power, secretly developing longevity potions. At that time, ask Old Feng for some video evidence to slap them in the face."
"Aren't they rich and free?"
"So much money, so much free time, let them figure out how to shut the mouths of conspiracy theorists."
Although Ansheng has never directly confronted the Longevity Club, he has pounded the club's Beast Hunter and the suspected client, Feina Meredici.
He's also interacted with Li Wenkang and Grandmaster Lin.
Currently on Blue Star, all individuals or forces who know about Spiritual Particles are lying low to develop.
The Longevity Club is no exception.
But the difference is, the members of the Longevity Club are clearly preparing to lie low and achieve Body Sanctification. Once they achieve this, they won't fear angry citizens hanging them up as streetlight decorations by the roadside.
Once things develop to this stage, it will enter what Grandmaster Lin refers to as a capitalist feudal system.
From then on, the new era's landowners will establish a true biological segregation from ordinary people, thoroughly solidifying their class and never falling for all eternity.
But the premise of all of this is that the Longevity Club must be faster than everyone else, advancing first to the [Original] and then, like [Dragon People], taking another step forward.
Before all that arrives, the Longevity Club is nothing more than a group of super wealthy, morally bankrupt people who even need to check their children's behinds before determining gender.
They are just manipulators of privilege who have gained Spirit Beast abilities!
They will also fear, also worry about their ambitions being exposed to sunlight and being settled by angry citizens.
If those things are exposed and spoken out loud, it's truly possible to end up shot eight times in the back, dying from "suicide."
But!
Since they have so much free time, Ansheng plans to give them some trouble, peeking into their basket, and seeing what kind of reckless courage they're storing inside.
Ban my account.
I'll have Old Lin kill your entire family.
Don't ban my account, I'll curse you every day, and occasionally join some conspiracy theory group chats, just to expose something.
"........"
Lin Ying's originally smiling expression gradually turned into a blank stare at Old Master Fuli, with a hint of amazement.
Not to mention, what Old Master Fuli said made quite a bit of sense.
The logic of the whole thing was quite clear, and it was extremely feasible to operate.
But the premise of it all is, it must be Old Master Fuli doing this.
If you want Old Master Fuli to shut his mouth, you'd better treat it like a small-scale war to shut him up. But Old Master Fuli's current IP address is in Xia Country.
Xia Country is aware of the external situation, so it's been hastening the basic research of Spiritual Particles and doesn't wish to get involved in any trifling matters.
Although it doesn't want to get involved in trifling matters, if you bring the fight to its doorstep, hindering Xia Country's research on Spiritual Particles.....
The additional trillions of fiscal funds each year can't just sit idly in the bank, right?
Then... it seems like new free trade is the only option.
Therefore, the path of war is not feasible.
"Pfft... hahahaha." Lin Ying snapped back to reality, letting out bursts of soft laughter, clearly, Old Master Fuli's whimsical ideas had amused Lin Ying.
Now she's really curious.... with the path of war not feasible, how the Longevity Club plans to make Xia Dong's Fuli-brand loudspeaker go silent.
After all.....
They don't want to be hanged either, right?
"Housekeeper Lin, go to the basement and invite Lin Zhe over," Lin Ying said to Lin Bingyun after laughing.
What Old Master Fuli said is by no means what Lin Ying initially thought of as childish tantrums, but rather a suggestion that truly touches on the pain points of the Longevity Club.
For such a big affair, it's essential to have the Grandmaster come and consult.
"I, Old Master Fuli, hold grudges!" Old Master Fuli said triumphantly, "They messed with me and came to Lin Ying's house to cause trouble, so I'm going to mess with them!"
"Now is the age of information, let them experience what it feels like to have their heads buzzing with anger without leaving their homes, even by Old Master Fuli across the ocean!"
"Are you kidding!"
"Did you really think my mouth is just for show? My mouth was made for cursing people!"
