Chapter 589 - 589 Promotion; Repaid Wages
589 Promotion; Repaid Wages
Lin Fan had no idea what was going on in the real world.
At this moment, he placed his attention on the ancient chest in front of him and casually opened it.
A ball of light appeared.
Then, an emotionless voice sounded in his ear.
[300 points of Constitution. Do you want to use them?]
At the same time, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan’s mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received a special red packet—3,000 Constitution points.]
Instantly, Lin Fan’s muscles and bones seemed to have been inflated. They instantly became thicker, and his skin shone with a faint metallic luster.
Soon, his muscles and bones began to compress and condense, slowly returning to their original state. His skin became fairer and purer.
Lin Fan clenched his fists gently. A feeling of power that he had never felt before circulated between his fingers.
He had a very real feeling that a casual punch of his could blow up a tall building.
After a while, Lin Fan slowly turned his head and looked at the stunned Heavenly Hound.
Earlier, he was suddenly surrounded by a dense group of Armored Black Ants.
Immediately after, the Armored Black Ants suddenly burst into flames again…
The huge ups and downs seemed to make it difficult for the Heavenly Hound to digest.
Lin Fan thought back to the scene of the Armored Black Ants charging at him and the Heavenly Hound not abandoning him, resisting with all its might. He nodded his head slightly and said, “Heavenly Hound, you can go and use these 300 points of Constitution.”
The Heavenly Hound looked at Lin Fan before walking forward hesitantly.
The ball of light entered the body of the Heavenly Hound, and its claws became even thicker.
Then, an emotionless voice sounded in Lin Fan’s ears.
[First to help a level-six Heavenly Hound reach level seven. You’ve received a level-three treasure chest.]
[First to help a level-six Heavenly Hound reach level seven. The air quality in Hua Nation has improved by 10%.]
Unsurprisingly, an ancient chest appeared in front of Lin Fan.
[50 points of Constitution. Do you want to use them?]
Following that, Lin Fan’s mind rang out with a crisp notification.
[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received a special red packet—500 Constitution points.]
Instantly, the muscles in Lin Fan’s body started to squirm as his strength increased once more.
Therefore, he allowed the Heavenly Hound to obtain 350 points of Constitution.
In the end, he got 3,500 points of Constitution?
Not bad!
Then, Lin Fan said to the Heavenly Hound, “Use these 50 points of Constitution.”
The Heavenly Hound had already experienced the benefits of having a strong physique. After receiving Lin Fan’s affirmation, it did not hesitate anymore and stretched out its paw to touch the ball of light.
After everything was over, Lin Fan and the Heavenly Hound continued their journey forward.
…
On the other hand, in Qing City, Hua Nation.
Lin Tao, Dai Weixue, and Lin Xiaoyao’s family were getting nervous as Lin Fan encountered one terrifying monster after another.
When Lin Fan killed these monsters and displayed his incredible strength, they were filled with joy.
At this moment, there was a light knock on the door.
After opening the door, two men in white shirts walked in with gifts in their hands and smiles on their faces.
Lin Tao was a little hesitant. “Factory Manager Huang and Chief Engineer Liu?”
The two men said happily, “Haha, Lin Tao, I didn’t expect you to remember us. However, calling us Factory Manager Huang and Chief Engineer Liu is too formal. You can just call us Old Huang and Old Liu.”
The two of them were Lin Tao and Dai Weixue’s former factory manager and chief engineer.
“Factory Manager Huang, Chief Engineer Liu, come in and take a seat,” Dai Weixue hurriedly said.
“Then we’ll have to trouble you.” The two of them laughed.
After entering, they first reminisced about what had happened in the factory back then.
“You were the top workers and the benchmark in the factory!” Manager Huang said. “Although you’ve already left the factory, in fact, the factory had already planned to promote you to managers at that time. In fact, we’ve even kept your positions…
“We’re here this time to pay you your salaries for the past few years. In the future, your monthly salary will be paid to your accounts on time.”
Lin Tao and Dai Weixue were obviously stunned.
They had never expected that the factory manager and chief engineer would come to their house to give them their salary.
“Manager Huang, we’ve opened a clothing store now. I’m afraid we can’t go to the factory anymore, so…” Lin Tao said.
Manager Huang smiled and waved his hand. “It’s okay. It’s okay if you don’t go to the factory. Of course, it’s better if you have time to come and take a look around. Many old friends miss you very much!”
After another round of small talk and under the insistence of Factory Manager Huang and Chief Engineer Liu, it was decided that the salaries would still be paid.
Lin Tao and Dai Weixue looked at the two people who were getting farther and farther away, then looked at the bank cards in their hands. They were still at a loss.
However, this was only the beginning.
The principals of Lin Fan’s high school, middle school, and even primary school came to visit.
In the end, even the leaders of Qing City came to visit the family personally.
Lin Tao and Dai Weixue understood that this was all because of their son.
This was because his son was a mathematician who had solved many unsolved mathematical problems. He was a professor who had invented high-tech technologies such as the earthquake prediction device, the carbon-based photolithographic machine, and artificial limbs. He had even won the Nobel Prize!
In addition, their son was the only chosen hero in Hua Nation!
In the past, these people did not know about these things.
However, the moment Lin Fan entered the Otherworld, he was completely exposed!
Lin Tao and Dai Weixue had left their jobs for more than ten years. Why would the factory manager and chief engineer still come and look for them with a promotion and bank cards?
As for being model workers and the benchmark, that was completely impossible.
One had to know…
Lin Tao was often criticized for being lazy in the past.
Lin Tao and Dai Weixue did not care about money or fame.
At this moment, the only thing they hoped for was for Lin Fan to return safely.
…
Five days passed in a flash…
In these five days, Lin Fan did not encounter any other beasts. He brought the Heavenly Hound around every day and ate roasted meat. It was extremely comfortable.
It felt as if they were not adventuring in the Otherworld at all. They were just camping.
In these five days, Lin Fan had already walked more than 200,000 steps and obtained two special red packets. In addition to the five special red packets, Lin Fan’s now had 1,100 Constitution points and 600 points of spiritual energy.
Today, the sun was slowly rising.
As usual, Lin Fan placed the sleeping bag into his internal space and began his stroll.
After walking for a while, a clear notification sounded in his mind.
[Ding! You’ve been in the Otherworld for 264 hours. You’ve received an Advanced Ice Control Spell.]
Instantly, Lin Fan felt his body cool down.
At the same time, in Lin Fan’s field of vision, there were many unique ice elements in the air.
Lin Fan had a very real feeling. As long as he willed it, the ice element would gather quickly. He could form icicles, ice cubes, ice balls, or other ice objects with his mind. It was very magical.
With this feeling, Lin Fan’s lips curled up into a smile.
Then, his footsteps unconsciously became much lighter.
