Xue Ying's handful of soil contained a rich breath of life; this wasn't saline-alkaline soil at all but rather fertile farmland.
However, Xue Ying was no longer surprised by Lin Chen's thods, after all, he had created too many miracles. In her heart, Lin Chen was nothing short of a freak of nature.
Although this piece of land was good, the dicinal herbs still needed ti to mature, and distant waters couldn't quench the imdiate thirst!
Lin Chen smiled lightly, "Who says distant waters can't quench imdiate thirst? Just have your people plant the seeds. After three days, send soone to harvest the herbs."
"Alright!" Xue Ying had always had unshakeable faith in Lin Chen's words. Although it sounded incredible, she knew Lin Chen had the ability to create miracles.
After agreeing on a ti to pick up the goods, Xue Ying left the base.
At this mont, Lin Chen's phone rang; it was a call from Anna.
"What's up? Are you missing ?" Lin Chen joked.
"Who would miss you, you jerk. I need your help with sothing."
"What is it?" Lin Chen asked.
"Zhao Bin has a daughter in China, and he hopes soone can bring her over. However, this daughter of his has a strange personality, and she refused to co even though we sent many Dragon Group mbers," Anna said, sounding a bit vexed.
"Others couldn't get her to co, and it would be the sa if I called. You could send so handso guys over. Maybe then she'll agree," Lin Chen suggested.
"I've tried that, but she didn't agree. She keeps explicitly asking for you by na," Anna insisted.
"She wants
to go?" Lin Chen was speechless, feeling like he didn't know her at all!
"Anyway, Zhao Bin's daughter said she will only co if you go," Anna stated.
"Sorry, I'm very busy and don't have ti to entertain her," Lin Chen replied nonchalantly.
"Lin Chen, I hope you can do
this favor. See it as granting
face," Anna pleaded earnestly.
Zhao Bin, as a returned overseas Chinese, made many sacrifices in order to co back to his holand. The doctors said he only had half a year left, and his only wish was to spend ti with his only daughter.
Lin Chen laughed, "I was just joking just now. How could I disobey an order from little Anna? I'll go pick her up, but no guarantees on whether I can bring her back!"
Anna nodded, "I know you can do it."
Lin Chen looked at her curiously, "You have that much faith in ?"
Anna nodded with a commanding expression, "Of course, you're the man I've chosen."
Lin Chen was speechless, finding the sentint sweet but feeling a bit strange about it.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen headed straight to Zhongjiang City by car.
Zhongjiang was only a two-hour drive from Zhonghai, and soon Lin Chen arrived at his destination, Zhongjiang University.
Zhongjiang University was a second-tier institution, both its heritage and scale falling short of Zhonghai University.
As Lin Chen arrived at the entrance of Zhongjiang University, a mber from the Dragon Group approached him.
"Advisor Lin, you've arrived," a Dragon Group mber said, hurrying over upon seeing Lin Chen.
Lin Chen nodded, "Where is she?"
"She's in the basketball gym. Zhongjiang University has a basketball ga against Dongli University today. It seems to be the finals."
"The finals? Is Zhao Ying a mber of the won's basketball team?" Lin Chen inquired curiously.
"Yes, she is the captain of the Zhongjiang won's basketball team," the Dragon Group mber continued briefing Lin Chen.
"This is really interesting, I'm going to et this captain now," said Lin Chen as she walked into the basketball gym.
The ga hasn't started yet, but the Zhongjiang University basketball gym is already packed with people.
Zhongjiang University's won's basketball team has always been a re participant, usually eliminated after the group stage, but this ti, under the leadership of Zhao Ying, they miraculously made it to the finals. Their opponent, however, is the formidable Dongli University team that made it to the national top eight last year.
The two teams had faced each other in the group stage, with Zhongjiang's won's basketball team losing by a large margin of 85 to 138. Despite this, the ga still attracted many viewers, mainly because of the attention centered on the captain of Zhongjiang won's basketball team, Zhao Ying.
Zhongjiang won's basketball team's success this ti owes a lot to their captain Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying is not only outstanding in basketball skills, but she is also incredibly beautiful, being the dream lover of many as the number one beauty of Zhonghai University.
Many of these people have co to watch not so much the ga but rather Zhao Ying herself.
Lin Chen quickly located Zhao Ying, who was warming up as she walked into the basketball gym.
Zhao Ying looked sowhat tense; to make it to the national competition this ti, the entire basketball team has put in an imnse amount of effort. Even though they were full of confidence at first, facing the strong rival Dongli won's basketball team shattered their morale.
At that mont, Zhao Ying missed a shot and the ball flew straight towards Lin Chen.
Lin Chen caught the basketball, and without even looking, she casually threw it, and the ball went straight into the net.
Zhao Ying was stunned by the shot that went in. This person is incredibly accurate!
Then Lin Chen walked straight up to Zhao Ying, smiling, and said, "Hello, are you Zhao Ying?"
Zhao Ying nodded and replied, "Yes, what's the matter?"
Lin Chen said indifferently, "I am from the Dragon Team, sent to take you to see your father."
Zhao Ying glanced at Lin Chen: "You are Lin Chen, right!"
Lin Chen nodded: "That's right, didn't you specifically ask for
to co and get you?"
Zhao Ying smiled lightly, "I will go with you if you can help us defeat Dongli won's basketball team, then I will go back with you."
Lin Chen frowned, "That man is your father!"
"Father? Where was he when my mother brought
back from the United States? When I was feverish and sick, and Mom carried
to the hospital in the middle of the night, where was he?" Zhao Ying said coldly.
Lin Chen was rendered speechless by the question, it seed Zhao Ying had deep-seated grudges against her father!
"Whether I can help you defeat the opponent or not, I need to see your ga before I'll know. I am human, not a god, there's nothing I can do if your team is too weak," Lin Chen said.
"Good, we'll give it our all in the first quarter and show you our true strength," Zhao Ying said.
Lin Chen nodded and sat down on a chair to rest.
The ga officially started, and the gap in strength between the two teams was evident from the very beginning.
Despite Zhongjiang won's basketball team fighting hard, they had no answer for the evidently stronger Dongli won's basketball team.
By the end of the first quarter, the score quickly beca 12 to 23.
At the end of the first quarter, Zhao Ying, sweating, ca off the court and looked at Lin Chen, "Do you think we have a chance to beat the opponent?"
Lin Chen, looking at the sweaty Zhao Ying, thought for a while: "There is a way, but you all must play according to my strategy."
"Can you really turn defeat into victory?" Zhao Ying asked in shock.
She was just trying to make Lin Chen back off, not expecting any real hope, and was even less expecting Lin Chen to agree straight away.
