A Valiant Life

“Multi-level marketing?” When the lady next to the old-timer heard what Lin Fan said, she was upset. She hadn’t thought that such a noble cause would be mistaken for multi-level marketing.

To her, this was a kind of humiliation.

“Master Lin, please mind your words,” the young lady warned angrily. It was as if she would go to war with Lin Fan if he said another wrong word.

“Alright, alright, I’ll mind my words. But I’m really not interested. Your goal is too ambitious. Really, I won’t be able to help. Why don’t you find someone else?” said Lin Fan.

He felt that these people had to either be crazy or mentally ill.

Immortality? Dream on.

Of course, it wasn’t impossible. Because he had the Encyclopedia, there might be a Xianxia class of knowledge that allowed one to gain immortality.

As for what these people in front of him were saying, he didn’t believe it one bit. Even if they were to beat him to death, he wouldn’t believe it.

…

The old-timer hurriedly stopped Lin Fan from leaving. “Master Lin, please listen to me. It might be an impossible thing to you but to me, it isn’t completely impossible. I just wish for you to cooperate with us.

Lin Fan waved his hand. He wasn’t one bit interested. “I’m very sorry but I’m not interested at all. Please excuse me.”

The old-timer shook his head. He wouldn’t give up yet. He had been noticing all the rising talents of the world. Whenever a top-class biologist and geneticist appeared, he would offer great benefits to hire them and get them to join his research.

Of course, many people would believe it was impossible at first. They would feel that he had to be dreaming.

But after being hired, those people wouldn’t have to immerse in their work for long before they stopped doubting him. Thereafter, they would completely immerse themselves in their work because they realized that immortality was possible.

Even if the old-timer tried to fire them, they would lament and be unwilling to leave. They were unwilling to lose the chance for a contribution towards such a great cause. Even if they weren’t paid, they would still carry on the research using their own funds. All of this was for the fruition of immortality.

Right now, he understood that Master Lin’s rejection was completely normal but he believed that as long as Master Lin would just dabble in the research, he would understand the marvel of their project.

The lady next to him said, “Teacher, I think he doesn’t understand at all just how mystical what we’re researching is.”

The old-timer looked over at her. “Don’t say that. That’s because Master Lin has never personally seen our research. It’s normal to have suspicions.” Then, he turned his gaze to Lin Fan again. “Master Lin, if possible, please come with us to America. Once you’re there, you’ll understand just how mystical our research is.”

Lin Fan frowned. F*ck, this guy is really crazy. Then, he didn’t want to stay any longer. He felt that he had just encountered a really strange occurrence.

“Not interested.”

The old-timer looking at Lin Fan as he walked away and couldn’t help but sigh.Looks like this Master Lin really can’t understand how mystical our research is after all.

“Sigh, there’s no hurry. Master Lin hasn’t understood our idea yet. But I believe that when he does, he will definitely become a part of our team. This is research that will change the human race,” said the old-timer.

The lady next to him nodded. Her expression suddenly brightened up. “I believe that this research will definitely be successful.”

Lin Fan was cursing maniacally in his heart. Where do these people come from? Why does it feel like they’re crazy? Especially that old-timer, he’s frighteningly crazy.

I won’t be able to continue my fishing today.

But it doesn’t matter. There’s no hurry. As long as I fish a few times a day, I will eventually get something good.

The next day!

Lin Fan arrived at Cloud Street. He was planning to have a good rest, so he didn’t rush at all.

“Master Lin…”

At that moment, that old-timer from yesterday appeared again.

When Lin Fan saw him. He was stunned. His expression turned strange. “I’m really not interested. Please do not come looking for me.”

Fraud Tian looked at that old man, wondering what he wanted. But judging by his appearance, he wasn’t an average person. He looked like a tycoon.

The old man walked into the shop and sat in front of Lin Fan. “Master Lin, please believe me. I’ve seen news about you on the Internet and discovered your medical ability. It’s truly stunning. You’re the kind of talent that we’re lacking, so I came all this way just to invite you to join us.”

“Believe me, you definitely won’t regret it.”

Fraud Tian was curious. He still didn’t know what the heck was going on. “What’s this about? Join what?”

Before Lin Fan could speak, the old man started speaking confidently, “We’re inviting Master Lin to join us in researching the key to immortality for humans. This is a sacred topic of research. If it succeeds, it will completely change the world. And our names will be remembered by the human race forever.

“What?” When Fraud Tian heard that, he was stupefied.

Immortality? Is this old man crazy?

Then, he looked at Lin Fan strangely, as if to ask what they should do. He started to draw numbers with his finger to suggest to Lin Fan if they should call 110 or whether they should call the mental hospital to tell them to take this patient back.

After all, the gates of mental hospitals were often not locked. Many patients would escape and start causing harm to the public.

The old man looked at Fraud Tian. “That’s right. I came back from overseas this time because I sincerely want to invite Master Lin to join us.” Then, he looked back at Lin Fan. “Master Lin, your talent shouldn’t be wasted. You should use it on something purposeful. Believe me, we won’t disappoint you.”

Lin Fan sighed. He was really helpless. He didn’t even know what to say anymore.

He had been doing perfectly fine, why did this person have to start targeting him?

“Master Lin, please seriously consider this. I’ll be back tomorrow.” The old man smiled calmly before getting up to leave.

Lin Fan was stunned. You’re still coming tomorrow? You’re crazy!

Wu You Lan came to Lin Fan’s side as she looked at the old man in the distance. “Brother Lin, why do I feel as if this is multi-level marketing?”

Lin Fan shrugged. “How should I know? All I know is that it isn’t anything good.”

Zhao Zhong Yang said, “If this old man comes again tomorrow, does it mean that he’ll keep bothering us?”

Lin Fan was frustrated. “I don’t know. I don’t even know who I offended to have to get involved in this. What the heck is this?”

He really didn’t understand. He had been fishing happily. Why did this matter have to pop up? Moreover, it was clear that this old man had done his research about him and his patience was a little scary. If Lin Fan were to reject him, he might not let Lin Fan go so easily.

It seems that I’ll have to do something in order to save myself some suffering.

Otherwise, if he comes every day, I’ll be tormented to death.
