Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents

Chapter 238: Fish, Encounter, Together, Surplus



"Mr. Huang, why do you suddenly want to get along with Lu Lin?"

Wang Jianfang asked curiously.

Since Lu Lin returned from the Exotic Battlefield, he had been living in a very regular manner. Wang Jianfang watched for a while, then got busy with the Equipment Division's new laboratory construction.

Although this matter was led by the federation and the Equipment Division, as the principal of Iron Blood University, it was impossible to be unaware of the project's progress.

Unexpectedly, Lu Lin had just calmed down for a few days, but he got involved with Mr. Huang again.

Mr. Huang explained to Wang Jianfang and Yang Jun about its assistance in Lu Lin's training in movement techniques and evasion, and only then did the two understand.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Yang, don't just stand there, help me think of a way, how should I make friends with Lu Lin."

Mr. Huang said while sipping tea.

"Making friends, there are several modes of interaction among humans."

"First is nodding acquaintances, indicating that the two have just met or have a basic impression of each other."

"Second is being mutually familiar, indicating that the two know each other's names, personalities, preferences, and other basic information."

"Third is friendship, indicating that the two share interests, hobbies, and aspirations."

"Fourth is being kindred spirits, which is a step deeper than friendship, where the two can talk about anything, appreciate, and tolerate each other."

"Fifth is a life-and-death bond, where their friendship is stronger than gold, and no misunderstanding, coincidence, or event would cause a problem in their friendship. They can give their life for each other at any time."

Mr. Huang's eyes lit up upon hearing life-and-death bond, "That's what I want, I want to have a life-and-death bond with Lu Lin."

"Don't rush."

Wang Jianfang waved his hand and said: "There's an even higher level, which is a gentlemanly bond."

"A gentlemanly bond?" Mr. Huang tilted his head, not understanding what gentlemanly meant.

"A gentlemanly bond is like water, meaning real friends, regardless of status, race, beliefs, or whether the two have shared hobbies or habits, or if they've met or know each other's names, will be the first person to come to mind when the other needs help, and likewise you will dare to help as soon as you know their situation."

"This is a gentlemanly bond."

Wang Jianfang said with his hands behind his back, "It is said that during the Tang Dynasty Zhenguan Era, before General Xue Rengui rose to prominence, he often relied on his friend Wang Maosheng for support. Later, he..."

As Wang Jianfang was speaking, Mr. Huang suddenly gulped down all the tea in the cat bowl and dashed off.

This...

Wang Jianfang was at a loss for words and just shook his head with a smile.

Mr. Huang, who ran out of the principal's office, complained to Yang Jun, "Mr. Yang, do you think Mr. Wang is going through some kind of menopause or something? Why is he so long-winded? He wasn't like this before."

"By the way, I want to form a gentlemanly bond with Lu Lin. How do I do that?"

Yang Jun smiled, gave it some advice, and Mr. Huang kept nodding as he listened.

"Great, Mr. Yang, you are indeed reliable. When things work out between Lu Lin and me, I'll thank you right away."

"Gotta go."

Mr. Huang said as he hung up the communication.

However, Mr. Yang said that friendships start with exchanging gifts.

So, what kind of gift should it give to Lu Lin?

Mr. Huang focused his mind into his Storage Ring, rummaging through it.

This... not suitable.

That... also not suitable.

After searching for quite some time, Mr. Huang still couldn't find a satisfactory gift.

Ah, the weather has cooled down a bit, let's take a nap first.

Mr. Huang flashed to the rooftop of the training building, lay down, yawned, and closed his eyes for a nap.

Suddenly, it saw the Qingming Lake of Iron Blood University, shimmering under the moonlight.

Hey?!

Got it!

It knew what gift to give Lu Lin.

...

Early the next morning, Lu Lin washed up and went to school with Zhou Ziqiang.

He didn't plan to train dodgeball for the next couple of days.

Studying his Star Martial is the main priority.

Ten Steps Kill, Inch Step, he hasn't cultivated them to a profound level. If he were a regular Martial Artist, by the time he reached the fifth or sixth level, his Star Martial would be as proficient as possible.

How could anyone be like Lu Lin, who advanced to the sixth level in less than three months?

This cultivation speed is much faster than the "Rocket Youth" of those years.

In fact, to prevent people from being amazed, Lu Lin always kept his cultivation hidden from others.

Yes.

On the third day after returning to the federation, Lu Lin had already found Yang Jun to guide him once on the Star Skill.

In the past half month, Lu Lin guided many at the Leakless Cottage, oh no, it should be called the Titled King Division now.

In the half month, Lu Lin guided many of the Titled King Division's Level 9 Martial Artists, but only two managed to break through successfully. The rest, like Yang Jun before, only comprehended a half-step Star Skill and did not achieve a breakthrough.

After learning of this, Lv Susu and others investigated the situation, and later, Lv Susu conducted a personal simulation before stating the answer.

For Lu Lin to help Level 9 Martial Artists advance, it requires consuming a mysterious material within his body.

This material has never been heard of or seen before by anyone in the federation, and even though Lv Susu deduced its existence in Lu Lin's body, she couldn't be sure how it was generated, used, or consumed.

This material has a limitation, it can only be filled once every seven days. After release, it can help humans or exotic beasts promote their levels.

Additionally, this material can be stored, but it can only store three times the amount.

Therefore, Zhao Lei discussed with everyone and arranged for Martial Artists of the Titled King Division to line up in order to receive Star Skill Guidance from Lu Lin.

This week's Level 9 Martial Artists have already been guided, which is why Lu Lin is so free now.

"Mr. Lu, tomorrow is Friday. I need to pick up Xiao Ru. Will you be going?"

"Yes, I must go this time."

Lu Lin opened the door and saw a paper bag placed on the doormat, with three crooked words written on it.

"For Lu Lin"

"Huh, what's this, Ziqiang, wait a second."

Lu Lin squatted down, the Perceive Star Skill activated, a fish?

Who sent me a fish early in the morning? Don't they know I have to go to school?

Lu Lin picked up the bag and held the fish in his hand. It was a crucian carp filled with rich Star Power, and it seemed to be a wild crucian carp.

Though not large, it would be enough for three or four grown men to have a delicious grilled fish.

"Ziqiang, keep it in the fridge, and we'll eat it together tonight."

"I don't know who's so kind to send me a fish in the early morning."

"Eat?"

Zhou Ziqiang took the fish cautiously and asked, "Mr. Lu, there isn't any poison on this fish, right?"

"No, I perceive... I don't feel any. It's safe to eat."

Zhou Ziqiang agreed and put the Star Power crucian carp in the fridge.

After getting in the car, Lu Lin suddenly remembered the previous topic.

"I definitely need to go pick up Xiao Ru this time. After being back for so many days, I only saw her briefly in the first week, last weekend I wasn't home because I had stuff to deal with."

"Xiao Ru hasn't seen me for so long, she must miss me badly. Ziqiang, do you think I should buy Xiao Ru a gift to apologize?"

"Mr. Lu, no need, you're spoiling her. These days, the first thing Xiao Ru asks when she gets back isn't about me but 'where's my Lu Lin brother?'

"Mr. Lu, don't you actually plan to elope with my little sister? Let's go."

Zhou Ziqiang suddenly recalled the situation.

Previously, when Xiao Ru mentioned marrying Lu Lin, he thought it was just a joke.

But now, Xiao Ru is at school hatching eggs for Lu Lin every day, and Lu Lin came back with plans on buying gifts and apologizing to her.

This is clearly like the way a couple interacts.

Even though Zhou Ziqiang is single, he's seen enough romance movies.

"What are you thinking."

Lu Lin started the car and slapped Zhou Ziqiang's head.

"I just see Xiao Ru as a little sister. Stop imagining things. If I were looking for a partner, Guan Yue is already there waiting, and even if Guan Yue isn't interested, I have two little maids."

"Don't look at me like that. I haven't touched either of my little maids. Never mind, why are we even talking about this."

"Watch the road, I'm heading to QingShan Network to buy some small gifts for Xiao Ru. Ah, it's going to be another contribution to General Pei."

Lu Lin sighed and said, opening the Internet to search for keywords like little girl gifts, girl gifts, and was immediately greeted by a large variety of dolls, handbags, blind boxes, anime figures, Ye Luoli cards, and Frozen cosplay costumes.

Among them, the Frozen costumes were the most purchased.

Lu Lin took a look at the buyers' display, and once those little kids wore them, it was simply unbearable to watch.

The difference between buyers' show and sellers' show was too big.

No, I can't buy such cheap things for Xiao Ru to wear.

Lu Lin found an official Frozen flagship store and spent 1988 on a complete Elsa Princess cosplay outfit.

The seller assured Lu Lin that it would be delivered the next morning.

Arriving at school, Lu Lin studied diligently all day and returned home with Zhou Ziqiang in the evening.

The next morning, when Lu Lin opened the door, he found another paper bag on the doormat containing a carp filled with Star Power.

"Hey, this is a nice surprise! Who is sending me fish two days in a row?"

Lu Lin exclaimed and handed the carp to Zhou Ziqiang again, asking him to make soup that evening.

"Haha, Mr. Lu, do you think someone might like you and is sending you fish because of it?"

"Like me?"

Lu Lin smiled, "Don't be silly. If someone liked me, wouldn't sending me love letters, flowers, fruits, chocolates, or cake be more appealing than fish?!"

"Haha, what kind of liking is this? I'm not a cat."

Lu Lin defended.

Zhou Ziqiang's eyes twinkled and he suddenly said, "Mr. Lu, do you think these fish could have some meaning? Like, being happy to meet you, wanting to be with you, having you for the rest of my life..."

"Alright, alright, cut it out. Are you doing a comedy bit with me? One of Master Guo's disciples?"

"Enough, let's not waste time, let's get going."

On their way, Zhou Ziqiang kept thinking of various phrases or jokes sounding similar to "fish" in his head, noting them down mentally.

By tomorrow, we'll install a camera at the front door to see who's been bringing fish to Lu Lin every day.

Arriving at the school, Lu Lin just entered the teaching building when he saw Feng Yuanyu and over a dozen students standing there waiting for him.

"Oh, isn't this Young Master Feng? May I ask what business you have with me?"
