Chapter 161: Cooperation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After taking off the gaming helt, Lin Jie scanned his surroundings. The new house had brought many things for his family. After they moved, his father and mother went back to the old place often. They had feelings for that place after staying there for so long, and they were used to that environnt, which was sothing hard for them to change.
Through his sister, Lin Jie knew that their parents went back to their old place and did nothing but visiting the neighbors and they visited the bad-tempered landlord once. They would spend lots of ti there and only co back to cook when it was almost ti to eat.
Lin Jie understood them and took out so money and rent a shop near the old house and the place where his father worked. They started a fruit stall and other than having so custors, they were chatting with the old neighbors most of the ti. They had been busy throughout their life, now they had nothing to do and felt uncomfortable about it.
His sister Lin Xiaoxue had nothing to worry about. She could concentrate on Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts. In addition, she was living in the teacher’s district together with her forr teacher, Zhou Guohong. Wu Jun, the wastrel, could not find the opportunity to bother her.
Lin Jie tidied up his clothes and took a look at the ti. It was 5pm His mother had co back from the fruit stall, humming an old song while making nutritional dinner for his sister.
“Mom, I’m eating outside today.”
His mother smiled and asked, “With a girl?”
“Erm... guy.”
“Permission not granted!”
Lin Jie rolled his eyes. “It is Baili Changcheng, the guy who helped us in the hotel.”
“Oh, fine. It’d better be a girl next ti.”
Lin Jie stared and quickly left after putting on his clothes. When he was in high school, the two of them would always complain about he liking a girl as though it was so sort of disaster. But now, they wished he was dating a girl.
It was hard to understand what the older generation was thinking...
His phone rang.
“Hey. Fu Sheng?”
“Yes.”
Baili Changcheng said in a feeble voice. “Where are you?”
“No.1 Senior High School.”
“On my way.”
Toot... Hung up!
It was dismissal ti for No. 1 Senior High School. The silent school compound exploded the mont the bell rang. Countless students rushed out of school.
At the sa ti, a heavy SUV drove slowly and stopped in front of Lin Jie. The window rolled down slowly and revealed the handso face of Baili Changcheng.
Lin Jie looked at the car. It was a Teana 2.6. A super common SUV at a price of 300,000. It was a cheap car, indeed. Lin Jie would not believe that Jiang City’s Outstanding One, the successor of the energy company, would be in the car until he saw Baili Changcheng.
Baili took off his sunglasses and smiled. “Nice place.”
Lin Jie smiled and said, “Well, if you think it was good, then co down.”
“Sure.” Baili opened the door. He was wearing a smart black leather short sleeves and a casual pair of jeans. He was tall and fashionable. This guy satisfied all the characteristics of campus beau: tall, rich, handso!
The mont he appeared, he had caught the attention of many female students. The face like an idol was a killer to these teenage girls!
Lin Jie was in a very awkward situation...
“Bro!”
Lin Xiaoxue run into Lin Jie’s arm with her bag on her shoulder. “Are you here to pick up?”
Lin Jie rubbed her on the head and said, “I’m busy with sothing, you go ho first.”
“Oh...” Xiaoxue blinked her eyes and stared at Baili Changcheng. She shook her head and said, “Too handso, very insecure.”
Baili Changcheng was speechless...
“I’m leaving!” Xiaoxue waved her hands and ran back ho.
Baili coughed and picked up a leather bag and walked into the school with Lin Jie.
How long would it take for a high school that was in an uproar to settle down? Less than 10 minutes.
In just 10 minutes, 90% of the students had left the school compound. The school was silent again. Lin Jie and Baili walked around the lake in the school, and both of them were quite. They ca to the basketball court.
Several boys were having a basketball match. Lin Jie pointed at the spectator seat and sat down. Baili took down his bag and unzipped it. A jet of frost gushed out of the bag.
“Here.” He took out an iced beer.
Lin Jie took it and shook his head in shock. The rich person was indeed different from the others, even a school bag was like a freezer.
“Erm... I forgot to bring the opener,” said Baili Changcheng awkwardly as he took out his beer.
Lin Jie took the bottle over and opened it with his teeth. They hit the bottles and gulped down a mouthful and burped at the sa ti.
An iced beer in the sumr was a great pleasure.
“I’m very unhappy.” Baili Changcheng took out another bottle and tried to open it like Lin Jie but failed. He handed the drink awkwardly to Lin Jie and drank another mouthful. “I was scolded by that guy again.”
Lin Jie blinked. “Who?”
“He is my uncle. I told you before, he taught much stuff. But he would always scold and call nas in a calm voice when he was unhappy since my childhood.”
Lin Jie was shocked. What kind of man was that? Just think about it. How creepy it was for a normal man to use a normal tone to swear and curse. It was just terrifying.
“But I have so information,” said Baili. “He entered the ga indeed, and he has so sort of connections with so guilds. I am working on the information of these guilds.”
Lin Jie’s eyes blinked his eyes and asked, “What’s his na?”
“Baili Xuanyuan.”
Lin Jie was shocked and took a deep breath before continuing. “He had the sa na in the ga?”
“Yea.” Baili Changcheng nodded. “It’s our tradition to not change our na in whatever we do. Kind of pedantic, but we really follow it.”
Lin Jie understood. It ant that the “old guy who just refused to invest any money from the family to the ga” was Baili Xuanyuan for sure. That being said, he realized he was the reason Baili Changcheng was scolded this ti.
No wonder Baili Xuanyuan did not make a fuss in the ga. He had his stress released sowhere else.
“I can tell you part of the information.” Lin Jie thought about it and said in a calm voice. “Baili Xuanyuan, level 18. Nah, he should be level 17 now. He had a set of very expensive equipnt, probably even comparable to you. He was in charge of the Mage Heavens. This is a guild that is more powerful than you thought. If I’m correct, Mage Heavens has connections with Kingdom of Glory and Dark-Robed Knights and wants to form a terrifying alliance with the three of them!”
Baili Changcheng was taken aback. “That is not possible! He was the one that strongly against the investnt in the ga! For what reason would he do that?”
Lin Jie’s eyes blinked and said seriously, “Baili, how could you not know the influential power of The New Age? Let’s put other things aside if your rival companies got benefits from The New Age, would you stand aside and watch? It’s just a matter of ti before you jumped right into it!
“Since it’s just a matter of ti, then your company would need a guide, or to be more specific, a guild or power that’s worth their investnt. Is there anything better than his own people?”
“So what you are saying is...” Baili Changcheng swallowed and looked at Lin Jie in shock.
Lin Jie nodded and said, “He needs to build a powerful force so that he can have control over the money that the company invests in the ga.”
Baili Changcheng’s pupils constricted, and he took a drink. The chilling alcohol ran through his body, and his mind was quickly cald down. A mont later, he closed his eyes and said, “Yes, that is the kind of man he is! I have to stop him!”
“Stop?” asked Lin Jie.
“Yes, stop. He is just my uncle instead of my family. The company can be decentralized, but never the opposite! If he were to rule The New Age, when he invested enough money, he would have ruled in real life too!” Baili Changcheng stood up out of sudden and said, “I have to stop him!
“Brother! You will help , right? Tell , you will!” Baili Changcheng’s eyes were glaring with emotion as he looked at Lin Jie. “You created Brotherhood, and I can help you in whatever way I can. And you’ll just have to stand up for when I need you! There is no need for a contract between us, just this pact we made. What do you say?”
Lin Jie was having mixed feelings and started to think. This was unlike working with Zheng Ziliang. Baili Changcheng was the one that ruined his family in his previous life. What about now?
After a while, Lin Jie nodded. “Sure! I’ll gladly help you if you need Brotherhood.”
“Hahaha, great! Then I’ll be in Savage Blade officially. I believe the team needs a handso and skillful Elental Sword Artist like . I’ll buy part of the shares using 3 million dollars. Just give a Legend position.”
Lin Jie raised his beer bottle and said, “Nice working with you!”
“Sa here!” Baili Changcheng raised his bottle too.
The alliance was made!
Kuang!
The bottles were shattered because of the powerful toast they gave each other. Their smiling faces were reflected on the shards...
...
After a few minutes, Lin Jie and Baili Changcheng escaped the basketball court. A cleaning aunty was chasing them with a broom. “Don’t you dare litter again! I’ll report you two to the discipline master!”
