Chapter 798: Chapter 14 Good Things Come in Pairs (Extra for Alliance Leader Big Dumb Clock Courier!)_3 Chapter 798: Chapter 14 Good Things Come in Pairs (Extra for Alliance Leader Big Dumb Clock Courier!)_3 “The only resource that could really lead to contention…
has to be the [ancient items] excavated from the ground.
Those are the true non-renewable, non-manufacturable resources and have been the main source of knowledge since our civilization lost continuity.”
“This is also probably why Lian Village is so adamant about opening the safe.
The village’s development owes everything to Big Face Cat’s father’s guidance.
Big Face Cat’s father was really into archaeology and liked to collect various ancient books.
So, he knew a lot, perhaps even more than the village elder, Grandma Zheng Xiangyue.”
“After the old village chief became sick and passed away, his son, Big Face Cat, took over the management of Lian Village.
Grandma Zheng Xiangyue has said that under the leadership of Big Face Cat, the village has always adhered to the principle of ‘I will not attack unless I am attacked’.
As long as no one provokes them, they won’t become enemies with anyone.”
…
Lin Xian listened to CC’s story.
He let out a long, ‘Oh’.
From this viewpoint, Big Face Cat of The Fifth Dreamland seemed okay, not bad; you could say he’s a neutral character.

And no wonder he chased after CC with his gang…
After all, CC was a thief, he was at fault first.
The only thing Lin Xian felt regret about—
How did Big Face Cat’s father die too!
Why did he have to die so young!
Sigh.
Heaven envies the talented.
Lin Xian couldn’t help but lament, when would he finally meet this extraordinary genius, to have a chat?
Maybe he could even directly unravel the mystery and finally understand the cosmic constant 42.
But…
Since Big Face Cat’s father in The Fifth Dreamland was so learned,
Would he have left behind any manuscripts?
Given how run-down Earth is now, it’s unlikely that the Genius Club would exist anymore, and if it did, it’d probably be on Mars.
It’s really necessary to infiltrate Lian Village and conduct a thorough investigation.
He gave the binoculars back to Old Mister Wei Shengjin and then looked at CC, saying,
“Then let’s act as undercovers, confidently join Lian Village, and become one of its members!”
“Ah?”
CC was shocked by Lin Xian’s way of thinking:
“Can we really do that?
We’re enemies, you know.”
“No, no, no.”
Lin Xian waved his hand dismissively:
“This version of you hasn’t even started stealing from Lian Village yet, how can you be enemies?
Didn’t you say that Lian Village follows the ‘I will not attack unless I am attacked’ principle?
We haven’t offended them yet.
Even though we’re not friends, we’re definitely not enemies like you said!”
CC was still hesitant:
“Joining Lian Village…I’ve never even thought of such a plan, but can we really pull it off?
How are you going to join them?
I feel like Er Zhuzi’s perceptive eyes could easily see through our ruse.”
“Pah, you’re overestimating that guy.”
Lin Xian snorted coldly:
“As soon as he sees his sister-in-law, he takes a critical hit, his IQ resets to zero, his loyalty resets to zero; his brain just follows his sister-in-law.”
CC was puzzled.
Although he had memories of Big Face Cat and the three lackeys in his memory fragments, he had absolutely no knowledge of “Er Zhuzi and sister-in-law”.
“So, what should we do?”
CC asked blankly:
“Where are we going to find a sister-in-law for Er Zhuzi in this godforsaken forest?”
“Sister-in-law works too,” Lin Xian added:
“Any wife will do.”
CC chuckled lightly:
“Can’t find a sister-in-law, though.
Where would we look?”
Suddenly.
She realized that Lin Xian and Wei Shengjin’s gazes were fixed on her face.
“Me…
me?”
She pointed at herself, blinking incredulously at Lin Xian:
“You can’t be serious?”
CC quickly figured it out:
“You’re not thinking of having me pretend to be your wife to win over Er Zhuzi, are you?”
Lin Xian smiled slightly:
“That’s right.
Otherwise, why would I say that’s Er Zhuzi’s biggest weakness?”
“Listen, if I’m not mistaken, Lian Village should still be operating on a democratic voting system.
If we really want to join Lian Village as official members, we’ll inevitably meet Big Face Cat and then go through the three lackeys’ vote.”
“Ah Zhuang is just plain silly, San Pang is like a fence-sitter with no real conviction, so the key decision really rests with Er Zhuzi!
As long as Er Zhuzi agrees to have us join Lian Village, then everything is as good as settled.”
“So, do you get it?
If we can handle Er Zhuzi, it’s like getting at Big Face Cat, getting at everything!”
“And you should have some confidence in your appearance.”
Lin Xian began the backhanded compliments:
“In a certain world, you managed to join Lian Gang with unanimous votes.
The simple-minded Ah Zhuang even started reciting classical poetry when he saw you, and San Pang learned how to buzz in.
Only Er Zhuzi remained indifferent…
because I had denied your identity as a sister-in-law.”
“Heh!”
CC laughed dismissively:
“How come I didn’t know I was so charming?”
She really didn’t want to wade into this mess, but weighing it up, what Lin Xian said did seem like a good way to legitimately blend into Lian Gang:
“Lin Xian, it’s not that I don’t want to help you.
It’s just that I really don’t have any experience.”
CC spread her hands helplessly:
“I’m so young, I’ve never been in a relationship…
How do you expect me to act as your wife?
I have no clue at all.
𝑛𝗈𝘃𝗴𝘰.co
I have absolutely no idea what a wife is supposed to do.”
Afterward, she looked at Lin Xian with a puzzled expression and questioned:
“Have you ever been in a relationship?”
“…”
Lin Xian was speechless.
Defensively, he said:
“Even if I haven’t eaten pork before, haven’t I seen pigs run?
What’s so hard to act out?”
“Look.”
CC pointed at him:
“If you had the experience, it would be fine, you could lead me through the act.
Now, I have no experience in love, and neither have you ever been in a relationship.
For both of us, playing a married couple is simply an impossible mission.”
