I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

Then there's Ursus's "national dish," fermented rice cake. The Ursus people's peculiar love of alcohol makes this cake both sweet and full of alcoholic flavor.

Whether it was beet soup or fermented rice cake, Nian accepted them all without hesitation, though her expression remained somewhat indifferent.

Why doesn't Ursus have spicy food?

After finishing the last bowl of beet soup covered with a thin layer of cream, Nian complained to Li Lin listlessly, "I'm going to die without spicy food!"

Li Lin pulled out a bag of potato chips from somewhere and ate them with relish, mumbling his agreement.

God knows why there are potato chips in Ursus. Although they don't have a wide variety of flavors, they are still very enjoyable to eat.

Li Lin suddenly put the bag of potato chips on the table and looked up, as if he had choked on the chips.

Miss Nian grinned mischievously and secretly slipped her hand into the bag of potato chips.

Li Lin suddenly looked down, and a sneeze landed in the bag.

"Oh, you want potato chips? You should have said so earlier." Li Lin wiped his nose and handed the bag of potato chips to Nian. "Eat up, don't be shy. These potato chips are very precious in Ursus. You should try them."

Miss Nian forced a smile: "No, no, you eat it, I'm full."

"You're such a good person," Li Lin remarked.

At this moment, Andrei rushed over, glanced at Nian with a puzzled look, and looked rather troubled.

Li Lin handed him the potato chips, indicating that he didn't need to worry.

"Thank you, sir." After the 12th mining area was reorganized into the Mutual Aid Association, almost everyone started calling him Chairman, except for Andrei, who still stubbornly called Li Lin "Master Li."

Andrei took the potato chip, took a symbolic bite, and frowned almost imperceptibly.

The taste is a bit strange... but that's not the point.

He lowered his voice: "Sir, the guns you requested have arrived from the other side."

Li Lin looked completely bewildered.

He had long forgotten about it, but thanks to Nian sitting next to him, he didn't immediately have a relapse. Instead, he put on a serious expression to show that he was listening.

This would make Andrei think that it was a problem he himself hadn't explained clearly.

As expected, seeing that Li Lin didn't react, Andrei began to wonder if he had overlooked something. To ease the awkwardness, he ate another potato chip.

This tastes so strange... The thought flashed through Andrei's mind.

Miss Nian, standing to the side, was practically bursting with suppressed laughter.

Andrei reorganized his words: "The other side has requested that we send three people, and they will also send three people, for a negotiation. They have set the time for tomorrow morning, and we will decide the location."

Without hesitation, Li Lin replied in a booming voice, "Let them come to my Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!"

"What?" Andrei looked bewildered, though he instinctively felt it wasn't a good word.

“I mean we’ll build a temporary hut not far from the mine and meet there,” Li Lin quickly adjusted his words.

Andrei nodded repeatedly, then picked up his notebook and potato chips and walked out the door.

—Although the bag of potato chips was likely expired, Andrei still accepted it with great joy as a gift from his master.

On Li Lin's system desktop, Andrei is one of the few people with a unique card face, probably because of his extraordinary loyalty to Li Lin.

As for those participating in the reciprocal agreement tomorrow, excluding Andrei, the intermediary who introduced them, the Mutual Aid Association still needs to send three.

Li Lin counted on his fingers: himself, Miss Nian, and Junjun...

Wait, speaking of regicides...

He looked up and muttered to himself, "Did we forget about the regicide on the roof?"

20. Li Lin's charm lies in the number of words he uses, while Yong Qing's charm lies in his typos (laughs).

Fortunately, the Kingslayer was in a deep coma, and the Terrans were physically strong.

When Li Lin carried her back to his bed, she was generally in a stable condition.

He spent years observing the work of the members of the Mutual Aid Society from the outside.

Although Miss Nian's arrival aroused some doubts among the miners, no one raised any questions directly, thanks to Li Lin's guarantee.

Taking this opportunity, Li Lin chuckled and his gaze, like that of a wild beast, shot towards the unconscious king killer.

He then opened the system, and a dark green desktop unfolded in the void, steadily appearing in front of him, with cards piled up on the flat desktop.

That's right, it's already chapter 20, how can we not check the data?

In the upper left corner of the dark green tabletop is a card symbolizing Li Lin himself, its edges subtly outlined by a golden-red light, maintaining a detached distance from everything around it.

When Li Lin poured his spiritual energy into it, the neat attribute bar began to refresh.

Abraham Lillin

[Occupation: Guild Master, Key Hunter (Former)]

[Nature and Appearance: Cast.]

[Characteristics: Infected by Oripathy (increased casting speed, reduced lifespan), nearing the end (each spell cast reduces maximum lifespan).]

【Health: 1】

【Intelligence: 3】

[Anchored World: Awakening World (Cult Simulator)]

[Current World: Arknights]

[Current remaining travel attempts: 0 (Cooldown is in progress; returning to the anchor world does not consume attempts).]

The conditions for regression have been met!

[Possesses the following secret techniques: Exclusive Level 0 Pseudo-Canon Secret Technique - Fire in Stone (Forging, Flint), Level 2 Fragment Secret Technique - Mottled Mimicry (Moth), Level 2 Fragment Secret Technique - Ashes (Winter)]

[Exclusive Secret Technique Upgrade Progress: 2/9]

[Current season: A time of burgeoning ambition.]

Closest to him was the card symbolizing Miss Nian, the one who forged the immortal. Smoke and firelight swirled on the card's surface, and the abstract features of the immortal flickered in and out.

【Heavenly Craftsmanship - Year】

[Forged for Immortality]

Heaven has its furnace, earth produces its five metals; their brilliance shines through the cold, smelting and tempering, illuminating the clear clouds.

Below is the Casting Order's Support Association, with an orange-red background.

When Li Lin infuses his spirituality, a vortex will appear in the upper left corner of the desktop. Placing the cult card into it will automatically open the cult affairs panel, allowing for easy and quick handling of cult affairs.

On the other side of the table are three Secret Cards: [Fire in Stone], [Mottled Mimicry], and [Smoke and Ash], two Influence Cards of the Forged Form, and a bunch of Mystic Auras.

As the organization's affairs proceeded, the mystical atmosphere continued to slowly emerge and dissipate.

Since the establishment of the Order, the production of Mystic Aura cards has become more consistent.

In addition, there are some special people who, because they had close contact with Li Lin, became "acquaintances" in a sense and were recruited into the organization by Li Lin, thus being able to have their own cards on the table.

Of course, even among these development targets, there are different levels.

For example, Andrei's card is terrible. Even the card art is just an extremely abstract and exaggerated round profile, and the description is only two sentences long. He is a classic extra template.

[The Worshipper - Andre]

Sometimes, even ordinary people, driven by enthusiasm, will embark on rather unusual obligations.

In contrast, the cards for the Kingslayer are much more detailed.

It was still a hooded profile, with rough lines like knife marks, yet it miraculously outlined all the characteristics of a regicide.

[Acquaintance Lyudmila]

【Sexual Characteristics: Winter, Blade】

As winter descends, shrouded in smoke, and shadowy figures lurk in the shadows, Lyudmila always strives to bring peace to every target.

So, was it because the corresponding aspect hadn't been awakened yet that Talulah couldn't be developed into an adult...?

Li Lin squinted and realized that he had actually compiled all the data.

Fortunately, just before he was about to rewrite those thousand words, the voice of the King Killer sounded eerily, stopping Li Lin's insane act.

"You're infected too...?"

She propped herself up on her elbows, gazing at Li Lin with a complicated expression.

In this way, Li Lin's seemingly incomprehensible behavior can be reasonably explained.

It turns out that he came to this place so that the infected people could live a normal life.

It turns out that he enacted those regulations so that infected people could work with dignity.

It turns out that his every move was fraught with such great risk... So when this man saw the miner lying on the ground dying, was his heart bleeding?

Lyudmila's expression remained as calm as still water, but her slightly trembling fingers said it all.

The king killer got out of bed, slowly walked to the door, and placed his hand on the doorknob.

But instead of opening the door and leaving immediately, she stared at Li Lin, who remained silent.
