Chapter 1021: Chapter 63 Obsession_3

…

Hearing this, Lin Xian thought of The Future World, where he hadn’t seen Tem Bank in two dreams.

Could it be…

That Brother Wang’s words turned out to be prophetic?

Was it Rhein Company’s subsequent developmental strategies that interfered with or delayed Tem Bank’s operations, leading to Tem Bank’s disappearance from history once again?

Thinking carefully…

Tem Bank, after all, is a standalone bank with a single business operation; involving itself too much with Rhein Company might indeed not be a wise decision.

After all…

The more responsibility he puts on Rhein Company in the future, the greater the challenges become; the first, second, and third labs are tasked with developing the Time Shuttle Machine, Miniature Nuclear Battery, Neural Electrocution Helmet.

Could it be that he’s bitten off more than he can chew, ultimately burdening Tem Bank that’s under his banner?

“Hmm…”

Lin Xian stroked his chin.

It’s very possible.

Later, he’ll have to take the time to separate Tem Bank from Rhein Company, to ensure it stands alone, clean and unentangled in any affairs.

With this arrangement…

Even if there comes a time when Rhein Company collapses, it won’t affect the operations of Tem Bank.

For Lin Xian, the existence of Rhein Company is undoubtedly important, but over a span of 600 years, he values Tem Bank a bit more.

This morning’s trip…

Sorted out Nangong Mengjie and Brother Wang’s matters; they could contact each other directly in the future, sparing him the role of a go-between.

Back home, he had a simple lunch.

It was still as tasteless as wax.

“It seems yesterday’s banquet at Lee Cheng spoiled my appetite.”

Half a day passed.

Lin Xian remembered the lamb skewer he nearly bit into and still felt regretful:

“Let’s enter the dream early today, get to Lian Village earlier in the day, and perhaps trigger a different story script.”

Brushing teeth.

Rinsing out his mouth.

Changing into pajamas.

Drawing the curtains.

Lin Xian flipped onto the bed and fell into dreamland.

…

…

Sigh…

The familiar summer breeze blew over, with the bright sun beaming down.

Even with eyes closed, he could feel the red-hot sun penetrating his eyelids, painting everything blood-red.

Around him were the loud chirps of cicadas and the twittering sparrows.

Coupled with the scent of soil and rice in his nostrils.

Lin Xian knew.

He had returned to that rice paddy… Smith’s unfortunate rice paddy.

Opening his eyes.

Indeed.

Smith, wearing a large straw hat, looked at Lin Xian in surprise:

“What’s worrying you?”

“Looking at you, what’s it to you?” Lin Xian replied.

“You little rascal… I’m quite a handful, I tell you.” Smith raised his sickle:

“Don’t step on my rice!”

Lin Xian looked down.

Indeed, it was his fault; he had trodden Smith’s rice into a bend:

“Oh, sorry about that.”

He swiftly jumped out onto the firm ground, shaking the mud from his feet:

“Look here, Smith, we could have a nice chat, you know? Why fly off the handle with slang from all over the country? Can’t you learn something different? How come you only pick up unfriendly words… And why don’t you learn Mandarin?”

“I speak mighty fine Mandarin!”

“Got it, you’re truly skilled.”

Lin Xian waved his hand, giving up on communication:

“I’m off, Smith, go harvest your wheat.”

Smith mumbled something under his breath and grunted:

“Get going… farewell then.”

…

It’s really hot.

Walking a little makes you sweat all over.

Eventually, Lin Xian followed the original route to Lian Village, pondering the most efficient and direct way to become a part of Lian Village.

Just don’t go to Er Zhuzi.

That guy just doesn’t vibe with him; apart from that one time in The Fifth Dreamland when he and CC pretended to be a couple, Er Zhuzi never seemed to look at him favorably.

“Better to go directly to Brother Lian.”

Soon, he found Brother Lian in the warehouse.

It seems this crown prince of the village holds a not-so-insignificant position in Lian Village, probably in charge of the warehouse, a cushy job.

Lin Xian conquered Brother Lian with just one sentence:

“A cat is ideology, a face is metaphysics.”

“Damn!”

Big Face Cat immediately grasped Lin Xian’s hands:

“Dude, you’re my soulmate! You know me better than I know my own intestines!”

“Er… you don’t need to be that specific about an organ.”

Lin Xian looked around:

“Why don’t I see your underlings?”

“They’re all busy working around the village. Ah Zhuang is fixing a wooden door in the east, Er Zhuzi is repairing a light bulb at Smith’s, and San Pang is cleaning the pond.”

“Oh~”

Lin Xian understood:

“So, Lian Gang is still set as a property management company, oh wait, hold on!”

Lin Xian squinted at Big Face Cat:

“What did you say Er Zhuzi is doing?”

“He’s fixing a light bulb at Smith’s house!” Big Face Cat looked at Lin Xian as if he were deaf:

“What’s up?”

“Nothing… nothing.”

Lin Xian shook his head.

It’s hard for an official to settle household affairs. Let it be:

“So, Brother Lian, aren’t you going to take me to meet the village chief?”

“The village chief, huh.”

Big Face Cat turned around, gesturing southward:

“The village chief is about to go hunting in the mountains, she’s probably getting ready to leave now. If you want to meet her… better hurry, let’s head to the northern entrance of the village.”

Big Face Cat twisted his body, leading Lin Xian north:

“Tonight in Donghai City, the lord of Li Cheng…”

“I know.” Lin Xian interrupted.

“The village chief wants to present a congratulatory…”

“I know that too.” Lin Xian interrupted.

“Later tonight, I’ll have to drive to…”

“Skip it.”

“Mainly because my daughter…”

“She’ll be fine going to school.” Lin Xian answered quickly.

“…”

Big Face Cat stopped in his tracks, looking impatiently at Lin Xian:

“Dude, are you in a rush to reincarnate or are you about to die or something?”

“What’s your hurry! Let me finish talking! You’re making me look stupid, you know?”
