Superbase Evolution

Chapter 104 Midnight Terror
"What are you thinking? What I mean is that we can only use our parents' reputation to ask someone to help mediate." Lin Miao said thoughtfully: "I remember that when Instructor Mu from Cape Base was killed, he stayed in our house for a long time to recuperate. The fourth child was able to enter the training camp at Cape Base because of his help. I will go find him, it should be possible."

"Will it work?" Lin Shen felt that this might not be that easy.

"It will definitely work. Instructor Mu is a nice guy with a strong personality. The fourth child has been in the training camp at Cape Base for so many years and has been taken care of by him. He will definitely not watch us being bullied by the Zheng family." Lin Miao thought for a while and said, "I will prepare a batch of goods tomorrow and take them to Cape Base. Then I will ask Instructor Mu to help us think of a solution."

"Will people be interested in things from our small place? If we are going to give gifts, we should give them something good so that they won't say we are stingy." Lin Shen thought this was a good idea.

Lin Miao went to the Cape Base. No matter whether the plan could be accomplished or not, the round trip would take at least one or two months. If it could be accomplished, that would be the best. If not, he would just go away and hide.

"What are you thinking? I brought the goods to the Cape Base to sell them and make money. I will use the money to buy some gifts to visit Instructor Mu. When I come back, I will bring another batch of goods back to sell. In this way, I will earn back the money I spent on the gifts."

"You are too good at calculating." Lin Shen said in amazement.

Lin Miao stretched out her finger and tapped Lin Shen's forehead, then scolded him with a smile, "You are such a spendthrift. If I don't make more money, how can I save enough for you to marry a wife?"

"It must be you, elder sister, who is kind to me." Lin Shen immediately turned into a little fan.

After the brother and sister had discussed it, Lin Shen finally had time to go back to sleep.

Now he is looking forward to what kind of surprises the fire on the ascension egg can bring him.

All the die-hard fans at the alloy level can give him an imperfect spark.

The fire on the Ascension Egg can't be worse than the alloy-grade dead powder, right? Maybe it's a perfect super-base evolution fire.

With beautiful expectations for the future, Lin Shen fell into a deep sleep soon.

In the middle of the night, Lin Shen felt a little uncomfortable. He usually could sleep until dawn, but for the first time in his life, he woke up in the middle of the night.

I sat up and was about to put on my shoes and go to the bathroom when I suddenly saw a figure sitting on the bay window.

Lin Shen was so frightened that he shuddered. It was the middle of the night, and there was a person sitting quietly in his bedroom. It would have been the same for anyone else. It was lucky that he was not frightened to the point of insanity.

Lin Shen used his base transformation power almost reflexively, and at the same time grabbed the dead powder wrapped around him, staring at the figure and shouted, "Who is it?"

The man seemed very calm. He sat on the bay window without saying a word, and drank from the teapot and cup by himself.

Only then did Lin Shen see that the man had actually used his teapot to make tea, and he probably took the tea leaves from him as well.

"You are a thief, and it's ok that you came into my house to steal things, but you also used my teapot and tea leaves to make tea, and then drank it by the window under the moon. This is not the way to pretend to be cool." Lin Shen was so angry that he was about to call Wei Wufu over, but he saw the man turn around and look at him with a smile.

The sharp-edged face, with nothing but handsomeness, immediately stunned Lin Shen.

"Fourth Brother!" Lin Shen was extremely happy. He rushed over and snatched the teapot and tea from his hand. "Don't you know that I got this tea with great difficulty? I only have a few ounces. Why did you make all of it for me? Do you know how to drink tea? This is not how you make tea."

"Xiao Wu, I remember that I bought this tea with the money I gave you." Lin Xiangdong's words left Lin Shen speechless.

"Ahem, it's not about money. That's not how you drink tea." Lin Shen looked around and said something else: "When did you come back? Why didn't you call me? Have you seen my elder sister?"

"I have to go soon, so I won't go to my elder sister's place, lest she keeps talking to me endlessly." Lin Xiangdong said while drinking tea.

"Are you leaving so soon? Where's your third brother? Has he come back?" Lin Shen asked with a frown.

"The third brother hasn't come back." Lin Xiangdong looked a little strange. "Third brother... won't he be in trouble..." Lin Shen's heart trembled.

"Nothing happened, I just got stuck on something, and it's hard to come back without a result." Lin Xiangdong looked at Lin Shen with a smile and said, "I know everything about you. Ershizu is a good name. I think it suits you well."

"What do you mean they are a good match for me? I have always relied on myself, okay? How can I be a second-generation rich kid?" Lin Shen curled his lips.

"I know about Zheng Guyuan's matter. You don't have to worry about the Zheng family's affairs. Just do what you should do in the future. But don't say anything to your eldest sister. Let her go to the Cape Base to find Instructor Mu." Lin Xiangdong said again.

"You were eavesdropping on my conversation with my eldest sister. Where have you and third brother been all this time? What are you doing?" Lin Shen was a little angry. They are brothers, so there is nothing they can't say directly.

Lin Xiangdong said with a smile: "Your third brother and I have been collecting debts for some time."

"Debt collection? What debt? Who should I collect the debt from?" Lin Shen looked confused.

"I can't explain it." Seeing that Lin Shen was about to get angry again, Lin Xiangdong spoke first, "There are too many creditors, and it's not easy to collect this debt. We have to take our time. Don't ask. We agreed before that we will take care of the outside affairs, and you will be responsible for the family. We will solve our own problems."

"Okay, I don't care about the matter, but I have the right to know." Lin Shen still refused to give up.

"Xiao Wu, do you remember one year when a few of us went to the ancient city to see the pear blossoms?" Lin Xiangdong suddenly asked.

Lin Shen was stunned for a moment, and actually remembered that this seemed to be the case.

Before the ancient city was submerged by plants, they and their siblings went to the ancient city together to see the pear blossoms.

At that time, there were many pear blossoms planted inside and outside the ancient city. When a few people went there, the pear blossoms were in full bloom. A gust of wind blew, and the white pear petals fell like snow.

Lin Shen was too young at that time and didn't remember it very clearly. He only remembered that there seemed to be an eldest sister, a third brother and a fourth brother. He couldn't remember whether there was a second brother. It seemed that his eldest sister was holding him at that time.

He seemed to remember that flower petals fell on the candied haws in his hand. When his elder sister tried to remove the petals, she accidentally dropped his candied haws, causing him to burst into tears.

The fourth brother was very mean. Not only did he not come to coax him, he also deliberately ate candied haws in front of him, pretending that they were delicious, but he just didn't give any to him, which made him cry even harder.

He couldn't quite remember what happened afterwards. It seemed that the eldest sister gave the fourth brother a lesson, but Lin Shen couldn't remember clearly whether this happened or not, after all, he was too young at that time.

"I'm asking you something serious, don't change the subject." Lin Shen was almost led astray and quickly brought the subject back.

"Do you want to see it again?" Lin Xiangdong said with a smile.

Maybe he was just too handsome, the best-looking among his brothers, so no matter what excessive things he did, as long as he smiled, all his anger would disappear.

"It's only been a few months, where do the pear blossoms come from? Besides, the ancient city is gone now, let alone the pear blossoms. Why are you talking to me about this?" Lin Shen felt inexplicably irritated.

"Yes, look over there." Lin Xiangdong pointed his finger out the window.

Lin Shen looked in the direction his finger was pointing, but saw nothing.

It was a dark and windy night outside. Apart from the steel buildings, not even a star could be seen. There was only a hazy, hairy moon. There were no pear blossoms.

He turned around angrily to settle the score with Lin Xiangdong, but there was no figure on the bay window. If it weren't for the steam still coming out of the teacup, Lin Shen would have suspected that he was dreaming.
