Chapter 512: 512 Super Grand Gesture! Taking My Cousin to See the World [2 Updates] Chapter 512: 512 Super Grand Gesture! Taking My Cousin to See the World [2 Updates] “The world’s… richest?”
Lin Wenli was stunned by these six words.
Even the Clan Leaders of the various big families at the Global Center couldn’t possibly be rich to this extent.
It must be… just so sort of exaggerated rhetorical device, right?
“Once you et her, you’ll know,” Ye Wanlan could guess what Lin Wenli was thinking, “She really can claim that title of being number one in the world in this regard.”
Lin Wenli nodded, but his mind was in a whirl.
Could this friend of his cousin really be a person of sound mind?
**
At half past eleven, Aurora Restaurant.
Aurora, aning the northern lights, is the only restaurant rated a full seven stars at the Global Center and is often frequented by Kristin Constans.
Following the private room number given by Kristin, Ye Wanlan led Lin Wenli and opened the door.
Three people were already seated in the room, besides Kristin Constans and Ling Yunzhan, Wen Chaosheng was also there.
“Sister YN, please take a seat!” Wen Chaosheng imdiately pulled out the empty chair on Kristin’s left. “Brother Lin, please sit too.”
The siblings sat down.
Lin Wenli carefully glanced at the only female among the three.
From her appearance, his cousin’s friend seed to be of sound mind.
“Here you are,” Kristin took off her sunglasses and waved them at Ye Wanlan, “Yesterday, I had already arranged the chef’s nu. Their head chef has great taste, which I really like. I don’t know if today’s ingredients will be enough.”
Ling Yunzhan leaned back in his chair, “Wasn’t there a brother who said he wanted to eat Dragon and Phoenix fish?”
“Darian hasn’t arrived yet,” said Kristin, “Leave two for him, let Sister YN and Brother Lin eat first.”
“I don’t have much of an appetite,” Lin Wenli shook his head, “I’m fine with anything.”
“How can that be?” Kristin decisively disagreed, “At your age, like your cousin, it’s ti to grow, and nutrition absolutely cannot be neglected. As for the other one, he’s up in age, what is he competing with young people for?”
Lin Wenli fell silent.
Up in age, does that an… among his cousin’s friends there are those who are sixty or seventy years old?
Ling Yunzhan asked, “By the way, has Darian ever t Sister YN?”
“Not yet,” Ye Wanlan replied calmly, “Although we’ve communicated a few tis, we’ve never t in person.”
“When is he arriving?” Ling Yunzhan’s eyes suddenly lit up with interest, “We’ve all been shocked, this kid can’t escape it, right?”
“Exactly,” Wen Chaosheng responded loudly, “We absolutely can’t let him off, if he doesn’t faint, then I’ll knock him out myself!”
Kristin pushed up her glasses, rarely agreeing with these two seemingly insane humans, “That’s possible.”
Lin Wenli fell silent again.
He still felt that his cousin had entered a circle of abnormal individuals.
“I’ve just finished the last round of etings and ca in a hurry, without a suitable gift,” Kristin turned to ask Lin Wenli, “Brother Lin, what do you like?”
Upon hearing the question, Lin Wenli genuinely pondered for a mont, only to fail in realizing that he didn’t seem to have any particular likes.
He had to admit, the first eighteen years of his life were quite ordinary, living life in an orderly fashion, where every day’s plan included only studying.
After finishing his college entrance exams, Lin Wenli also felt montarily lost.
“Don’t rush, take your ti to think,” Kristin didn’t mind, “It’s alright to like many things.”
She could afford to give anything.
Lin Wenli thought for a long while before hesitantly responding, “Exquisite chanical items?”
Kristin was sowhat surprised. She glanced at Ye Wanlan, “You’re truly worthy of being her cousin.”
She had an idea in mind and sent a ssage to a young Deacon, asking him to bring a sample gift over.
Ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
“Miss Kristin, this is the item you asked to prepare,” the young Deacon respectfully presented a gift box, “If you have no further orders, I shall take my leave.”
Kristin nodded, “You can go down. Prepare a car for later, I have other matters to attend to.”
“Understood,” the young Deacon bowed deeply again, “Your command is my wish.”
He retreated, closing the door very considerately behind him.
As a competent and qualified Deacon, that’s what it ans to obey orders, without asking any questions.
“Here you go,” Christine pushed the box towards Lin Wenli, “Since you like chanics, I thought you might like this.”
“I…” Lin Wenli didn’t take it but instead looked towards Ye Wanlan.
“If it’s for you, then keep it,” Ye Wanlan said with a smile. “I really owe a favor now, I’ll repay it.”
Hearing this, Wen Chaosheng couldn’t help boasting, “A favor from YN Sister, Rich Sister spent ten billion to buy one, Brother Lin, your cousin is really sothing.”
It was then that Lin Wenli finally opened the box, inside was a very small disc, about the size of a palm.
It was completely black, very simple and low-key, and seed no different from a roadside rock.
However, Ling Yunzhan only glanced at it once, and his eyes widened instantly, “This thing… was it bought by Rich Sister?”
“What thing?” Wen Chaosheng leaned in curiously. “I can’t tell what it is.”
Ye Wanlan’s eyes narrowed as she picked up the disc.
Her hand twisted sowhere on the disc, and with a “click-click” of chanical sounds, the disc actually transford into a weapon in just a second.
Then, after another series of “click-clicks,” the weapon turned back into a jet pack that could be stepped on underfoot.
“Quite a big gesture,” Ye Wanlan restored the disc to its original state and handed it back to Lin Wenli, “I tried it out, it can change into at least seven different chanical tools, very convenient.”
“Yes, this is a new kind of weapon invented by the International Strategic Studies Institute this year,” said Ling Yunzhan, regaining his composure. “It’s said there were only two; I knew the Si Family took one for their daughter’s self-protection. I didn’t expect there was another one with Rich Sister.”
“A little trinket, I bought it on a whim,” shrugged Christine.
Lin Wenli obviously liked the disc very much. After playing with it for a while, he suddenly rembered a crucial matter, “Can I use this?”
“You naturally can’t use it in Shenzhou,” said Ye Wanlan, raising an eyebrow. “But once you pass the written test of Shenzhou University and get into Shenzhou University, you can apply for a permit, then you’ll be allowed to use it.”
Touching his chin, Ling Yunzhan comnted, “With this item, Brother Lin’s safety is much more assured, and I’m sure nobody undeserving will co to provoke him.”
Weapons produced by the International Strategic Studies Institute aren’t sothing that just anyone can buy—they’re for the rich and titled.
“Thank you—” Lin Wenli began to speak, wanting to thank Christine, but realized he didn’t know what to call her.
Christine’s eyes and brows were indifferent, “Just call Rich Sister.”
She liked this nickna.
Lin Wenli hesitated awkwardly before managing to spit out the title with great difficulty, “Thank you, Rich Sister.”
At this mont, the door of the private room was pushed open again, and Yeh Xingli and Darian appeared, both of their faces showing exhaustion, clearly from overworking.
“I’m dead tired,” Darian plopped down on a chair. “Quick, I want dragon and phoenix fish, I want ten of them!”
“Who’s this, so rude?” Wen Chaosheng kicked him. “According to group rules, you should first greet YN Sister and Rich Sister.”
Darian ca to his senses, “Rich Sister, and Y—”
The mont his gaze landed on Ye Wanlan, it suddenly froze.
Three seconds later, Darian’s eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
There was a loud “thud.”
“…”
There was a mont of silence inside the private room.
“Good,” Christine nodded, “Now we don’t have to knock him out ourselves.”
Ling Yunzhan sighed as if in pity, “His ntal fortitude is too weak.”
“In that case, let’s divide up his dragon and phoenix fish!” Yeh Xingli declared righteously. “Once we’re finished, he’ll wake up, saving us a bit of dical expenses.”
Ye Wanlan agreed, “Not bad.”
Lin Wenli: “…”
Indeed, it was a paradise for lunatics.

It was nearly 4:40 in the afternoon when Kang Lejia erged from the interview hall.
“Le Jia, how was it?” Old Master Kang asked anxiously, “Are you confident about passing?”
Kang Lejia looked tired, “The interview questions at Shenzhou University are all tricky, and there were a few I couldn’t answer, but passing shouldn’t be an issue.”
“That’s great,” said Old Master Kang, very reassured. “If Le Jia can get into Shenzhou University, that would truly honor our ancestors!”
“Grandfather, let’s not hurry to leave; the results will be announced at six o’clock,” said Kang Lejia. “Let’s wait here.”
As she spoke, a glint flashed in her eyes.
The public announcent of results would allow her to see just how poor Lin Wenli’s performance was.
She would tell Ye Wanlan that getting an interview slot didn’t guarantee entry into Shenzhou University!
