Chapter 93: Chapter 85: Township
Su Lin felt a bit parched and got up to pour a cup of tea for himself and his second uncle. He took a sip, furrowing his brows slightly.
"If even a Tier One chanism Blueprint can’t impress the Shunfeng Travel Group, what price must Song Yiren have paid?"
Song Yiren’s dealings with the Shunfeng Travel Group would be irrelevant if they had nothing to do with them.
But since the Snakehead Ground Daisy is essential, this relationship must be scrutinized.
And the more you ponder, the more obvious the peculiarity becos.
"It’s too much of a coincidence." Su Qi frowned deeply, unconsciously tapping his fingers on the table.
"That’s right."
Su Lin nodded, his thoughts growing clearer:
"The Shunfeng Travel Group ca to our village with a clear aim, bringing Song Yiren here like a hot potato, while she conveniently has the Snakehead Ground Daisy that can cure Grandpa’s poison... This all seems deliberately targeted at our Su Family."
"Yes." Su Qi’s eyes flashed with appreciation; his nephew’s analysis coincided with his own thoughts.
Having soone to ponder with is indeed good.
The old man and the big brother, in the past, were all single-minded, discussing these things with them would only shift the burden onto him.
They would even say with a virtuous na: "Such sneaky stuff is perfect for you, we’ll just handle the fights!"
Ha!
The wisdom of mortals.
Talking about information and plans with them is like casting pearls before swine.
"But what are they scheming against our Su Family?" Su Qi fell into contemplation.
Su Lin was also swiftly searching through his mind.
Suddenly, Old Liu’s earlier assessnt of Grandpa flashed by.
A thought erged, Su Lin tentatively spoke:
"If it’s about what’s most valuable and distinct in our family after Grandpa lost his influence... It would most likely be Grandpa’s reputation and renown in the village, wouldn’t it?"
"The old man’s reputation?"
Su Qi first froze, then it was as if struck by lightning; he suddenly understood!
"Could it be that Song Yiren wants to use our Su Family as a stepping stone to re-enter the township-level camp?!"
Su Qi’s voice carried a hint of surprise and realization.
Su Lin also instantly comprehended:
"She wants to beco our family’s tenant and then wait for the village to upgrade to township! Once successful, with the old man’s integrity, they could pre-negotiate the cost of the Snakehead Ground Daisy, enabling her to legally enter the township field once extricated from tenant status!"
Su Qi slamd the table:
"Right! If she genuinely has designs on us, this might be the only reasonable explanation. The old man’s reputation and integrity indeed count as a premium banner at the base level camps."
Su Lin let out a long breath, relaxing his tense nerves sowhat.
Though it was rely speculative, they managed to pinpoint an aspect that might be ’exploitable’, which was still better than being oblivious to everything.
Coupled with Song Yiyi’s disdainful and disrespectful attitude towards village camps, the guess becos even more plausible.
Despite being uncertain how the Song Sisters descended from an upper-level camp, people at lower-level camps almost exclusively relied on hitched camps that are being promoted to move upwards.
Song Yiren conveniently holds the Snakehead Ground Daisy, urgently needed by the Su Family, while possibly being aware of the old man’s reputation.
Thus, she paid so price, allowing the Shunfeng Travel Group to escort her and Song Yiyi to Wuyin Village, with direct intentions towards the Su Family.
"Thinking about it this way, it makes Song Yiren seem even less simple,"
Su Lin frowned slightly, finding it a bit tricky:
"Spending efforts and paying a price, solely to utilize the Su Family as a route to the township? What exactly is her sche? Her actual strength should not be that high; it can’t just be for that elusive sense of identity and pride, right?"
Having conjectured Song Yiren’s intentions, Su Lin instead felt overwheld.
"We can only take it one step at a ti."
Su Qi shook his head helplessly, then his gaze sharpened as he decisively declared:
"But no matter what, the Snakehead Ground Daisy must not be let go! Even if we have to give up the Tier One chanism Blueprint, we must secure this lifesaving herb!"
Su Lin’s expression turned solemn, nodding vigorously.
Once the old man recovers, coupled with the support from the Smoked at Room, the future of the Su Family would be shining brightly!
...
After discussing strategies with his second uncle, Su Lin felt sowhat relieved.
Regardless of anything, finding hope for treating Grandpa is always a monuntal good thing.
However, this also ans the burden on his shoulders has grown heavier.
Once Grandpa’s poison is resolved, he must quickly upgrade the safe house to level 4 and establish the Smoked at Room.
The Smoked at Room can process two pieces of at simultaneously, each needing two weeks to smoke.
As long as a piece of Level 2 Treasure at is successfully smoked, the old man can use it to advance to the realm of First-Transford Martial Artist!
By then, places like Black Scale Village and Zhong Wubin would be nothing but re chickens and dogs before absolute strength!
Thinking of this, a powerful motivation gushed within Su Lin.
"By tomorrow or the day after, I should be able to unlock the Tendon Lock, then I’ll see what new entry refreshes after my strength increases. If there’s another golden entry..."
Su Lin’s eyes glead with expectancy:
"Then a level 4 safe house would be as good as done!"
The golden entry effect from Big Buy Special is simply too astonishing, filling him with confidence in golden entries.
Of course, continuously drawing gold entries is sothing he rely imagined, not daring to hope for.
Even in the previous life’s mobile ga, such luck was absent.
The most prudent hope is to refresh an entry that increases the power of all chanisms.
The current ’King of the Garbage Can’ has nearly reached its maximum on chanism power enhancents.
For the ti being, no suitable tenant can be found; thus, Su Lin urgently needs a more potent chanism to guard the second door of the level 4 safe house.
His second uncle once recomnded the family’s automatic crossbow, but that thing’s construction only involves lower-grade materials, making it unable to benefit from ’King of the Garbage Can’, and thus its power remains at normal levels.
And normally powered chanisms are at most on par with his current chanisms, whether they exist or not feels quite indifferent.
...
While pondering along the way back ho, Su Lin’s gaze inadvertently swept past a familiar figure.
Oh!
Isn’t this such a coincidence!
He didn’t deliberately retract his gaze using ’Hidden’, and that slender figure imdiately sensed the eyes, whipping her head around sharply—it was none other than the bruised and battered Song Yiyi!
Once she recognized it was Su Lin, that little demon, Song Yiyi’s face instantly turned pale!
"You!..."
She gasped, staggering two steps back, her gaze flusteredly scanning around, instinctively wanting to flee.
At the mont, Song Yiyi was utterly timid, like a rabbit encountering an eagle, even her slender and alluring waist couldn’t help but tremble slightly like willow branches swaying in the wind.
Aside from that bold audaciousness, purely speaking of her looks, Song Yiyi indeed stood out quite remarkably.
Su Lin intriguingly touched his chin, beckoning her with his finger:
"Co here, I’ve got a question for you."
Song Yiyi’s face changed again, both fearfully yet unable to refuse.
She had no choice but to move cautiously like a docile wife, inching her way toward Su Lin, her eyes full of grievance and vigilance.
Su Lin led her towards an abandoned bus beside the village road, kicked open the door with a "bang
