| ← Ch.252 | Ch.254 → |
'The five billion yuan will be mine for sure!'
Lin Yao had already made up his mind. However, he didn't go out, as it was already getting late.
Accompanied by the sound of cicadas, Lin Yao took out several books that he carried with him all the time and began to study physics and electromagnetism. The progress of Lin Yao's Heavenly Thunder Manipulation had stagnated at LV3 (99%), and he wanted to read more about electromagnetism in order to advance it.
Soon, Lin Yao discovered the beauty and wonder of Cicada Chirp—Clear Sound. The cicada's crisp-sounding chirps made Lin Yao feel as if he had returned to his childhood in his past world. Scenes of a classroom in a rural area, chirps of summer cicadas and children reading aloud appeared in his heart. Soon, he was immersed in a sea of knowledge.
In this soothing, wonderful atmosphere, Lin Yao only felt tired after four hours of reading.
Following that, Lin Yao quickly fell asleep amid the melodious chirps of the cicadas. While he was sleeping, he dreamed of the wonderful things that had happened during his childhood, and the corners of his mouth could not help curling into a smile.
Lin Yao slept through the night till dawn. When he woke up, he felt that his mental strength had been fully invigorated. After scanning his attribute panel, Lin Yao discovered that his mental strength scale had reached 242 after a night of deep slumber, which meant that it had increased by two points during his sleep.
Although the increase was not huge, it could become daily.
'True enough, I made the right choice by signing a contract with a dependent with mental strength attributes. This can increase my learning efficiency and also quickly restore my mental strength. '
Lin Yao felt satisfied but also noticed that the golden cicada looked somewhat sluggish after an entire night of chirping. This was easy to resolve. Since he didn't need to study during the day, the cicada could recover during this time.
"This has been tough on you. Rest well."
Upon finishing his words, Lin Yao pushed open the door of his room and saw that his four... six assistants had already arrived.
In addition to his four personal assistants, Qi Qing, who was representing the military, was also with him during this period. To Lin Yao's surprise, Qin Ya was also present.
When Lin Yao looked over, he saw that Qin Xue had already prepared his food, towel, and other items. His going-out clothes were ready as well. The gentle Qin Ya could be regarded as the personal assistant in charge of all of Lin Yao's daily needs.
While enjoying Qin Xue's service, Lin Yao turned his gaze toward the others.
"Is anything the matter today?"
The assistants glanced at one another. In the end, Qi Qing stepped forward and updated him on the situation of the foundation.
"Mr. Lin Yao, in accordance with your instructions, the foundation has launched its activities at full force. The construction of 30 public welfare schools has started at the same time. We are cooperating with the government, and the schools are built in areas facing a shortage of educational resources, determined based on the official statistics... I'd like to thank you on behalf of the students there."
Now that she had joined the military organization, Qi Qing naturally had the heart to contribute to the country and people. After she discovered that Lin Yao had spent most of his money on public welfare undertakings, her impression of Lin Yao had improved greatly.
"Don't mention it. You should know that I have light talent. I'm doing this for my own sake."
"You have still helped many poor children. You deserve to be thanked."
Lin Yao didn't dwell on this topic with Qi Qing and soon inquired about something he was concerned about.
"How's the progress of the foundation going? Can it finish utilizing 2. 8 billion yuan of funds in one month?"
When they heard this, the expressions of the ladies in the room were somewhat strange. This was the first time that they had encountered someone who was that anxious to spend money, although this was not considered squandering money.
In the end, it was still Qi Qing who stepped forward and answered him.
The foundation's affairs were very important. Originally, apart from Qin Ya, who didn't have the time and energy to manage it, the rest of the ladies had been exposed to this aspect. However, they were still young high school students, after all, and they were unfamiliar with this area. After joining them, Qi Qing had already taken full charge of the operation of the foundation and become Lin Yao's right-hand man. Qin Ya was not considered Lin Yao's assistant, as she was Lin Yao's working partner.
At that moment, Qi Qing restrained the strange feelings in her heart and replied to Lin Yao's question.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Lin Yao. The 2. 8 billion yuan will be spent within a month."
Nodding, Lin Yao suddenly said, "What if we add another 5 billion yuan?"
"Huh?"
Qi Qing obviously didn't understand why Lin Yao had asked this question. Nevertheless, Qin Ya, Yan Yu'er, and Qi Qing, who were more familiar with Lin Yao, seemed to have understood something.
"Ah Yao, don't tell me you have advanced and become a silver warlord?"
"It's still early. Please don't cause yourself trouble for a moment of comfort."
"I don't need you guys to tell me that. If I don't achieve perfection before advancing, the military won't give me the resources."
"Do you plan to get into the top 50 of the Hidden Dragons List then?!"
At that moment, Qi Qing had a sudden realization about the source of Lin Yao's five billion yuan. She wanted to say something but eventually held her tongue. Obviously, she didn't feel optimistic about Lin Yao challenging the top 50 people on the Hidden Dragons List.
Besides her, the rest of the ladies felt the same way.
Qin Xue even tried to persuade Lin Yao."Ah Yao, you don't need to be so anxious. You are still young, so you can take your time..."
Although the others didn't say it, they had the same expression. Just as Lin Yao smiled and was about to speak, Qin Ya said, "The 50th-in-rank genius is located in Tianfu City. I don't recommend going there, as it's too far. If you want to challenge someone, you can challenge the one ranked 47th or 49th. Both of them are in Shanghai... I suggest you challenge King Kong—Yuan Hao—who is ranked 47th. He's a combat fanatic who loves fighting. He won't turn down your challenge."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yao felt somewhat surprised.
"Why aren't you stopping me?"
"Why should I? It's not a bad thing to spar with a powerhouse. You'll gain some experience even if you fail."
Upon hearing Qin Ya's words, the other ladies realized that Lin Yao was not going to participate in a life-and-death duel but an arena match with referees. This kind of battle was not life-threatening regardless of who won or lost.
"Ah Yao, go for it."
"We trust you completely."
"Even if you lose, it isn't a big deal. Ah Yao, you're the best!"
Since there was no life-threatening danger, the ladies naturally would not stop Lin Yao from doing it. They cheered for Lin Yao, and upon seeing Lin Yao nod, Qin Ya immediately contacted King Kong Yuan Hao. At the same time, she also gathered information on the battles of King Kong Yuan Hao.
The competent Qin Ya was very qualified to be an assistant. Unfortunately, she was not willing to be just an assistant.
After securing the challenge, Qin Ya asked Lin Yao, "Do you need to publicize this news on Weibo to make a name for yourself?"
After pondering it for a while, Lin Yao shook his head."I don't see the need to do this anymore."
Lin Yao wanted to be famous, as he wanted to use his fame to get in touch with rich businessmen and obtain financial sponsorships. However, this was no longer necessary now that he was a military officer.
In order to keep the military personnel honest and prevent them from becoming the private soldiers of rich businessmen, the country had very strict regulations. Therefore, Lin Yao would not be able to accept large amounts of investments even if he was famous.
In fact, Lin Yao even suspected that his few personal assistants could remain by his side because their families were not powerful enough to influence him, someone who was slated to be a legion commander.
However, Qin Ya had a different idea.
"Mr. Lin Yao, your reputation is still very important. You are someone who will become a legion commander in the future. You need to have enough prestige in order to make your team members obey you."
"Alright. You can figure out what to do. What else do we need to do today?"
"You are supposed to gain new knowledge in the morning until 9:30 a. m and then spend half an hour traveling to the University of Monster Science and Technology to undergo electric current development. After the development, while you're resting, you can go to the Heaven and Earth Dojo to learn a combat skill. At 5:00 p. m, you'll return to the university for a second electric current development, in conjunction with brain development. After resting for some time and taking Moon Essence, you could go through brain development again. At 10:00 p. m, you'll return to the apartment and study until 2. 00 a. m. before you go to sleep. Is there anything that you would like to add?"
"No..."
Qin Ya's words had clearly explained the arrangements and schedule made for Lin Yao. Soon, the teachers she had contacted started teaching Lin Yao long-distance.
While Lin Yao was busy adhering to the schedule arranged by Qin Ya, Qin Ya looked at Yan Yu'er and the other ladies with contempt in her eyes. She had already finished everything that needed to be done. This was her retaliation for what had happened yesterday.
The competition between the ladies didn't affect Lin Yao, who was studying attentively. However, there was something Qin Ya hadn't expected. He was learning too fast. His photogenic memory, swift mind, occasional Light-Bulb Moments, as well as the Cicada Chirp—Clear Sound were four wisdom talents that enabled Lin Yao to read ten lines at a glance.
Although there were some complexities, Lin Yao still had an ultimate move—lifting his brain restrictions. With thrice the normal thinking speed and his super arithmetic ability, Lin Yao had no problems with most of them, not to mention that he had a professor guiding him from the other end of the line.
However, his fast learning speed also enabled Lin Yao to finish learning one week's worth of the professor's teaching content in just one hour.
The professor's eyes shone when he observed his learning talent."Student Lin Yao, are you interested in working for my research institute? Your wisdom should be used for research."
"Thank you for the invitation. I'd prefer to advance my martial arts."
One morning of studying had increased Lin Yao's knowledge reserve greatly. Furthermore, he had studied magnetic fields this time. Thanks to this studying session, Lin Yao felt that his understanding of the magnetic field had increased and Heavenly Thunder LV4 was already in sight.
'Three days. It will take at most three days for Heavenly Thunder to reach LV4. I wonder what abilities Heavenly Thunder Manipulation LV4 will give me. '
