nNews of the Lin Family Young Master treating beggars to food at Drunk Fragrance Pavillion was spread out by passers-by.
nNormal civilians felt that it was unbelievable and too fake.
nIt was impractical.
nHow would the rich families be so nice?
nTheir lives were like ants in the eyes of rich families.
nSeeing the oily mouths of beggars as they walked out of Drunk Fragrance Pavillion in satisfaction, everyone was stunned.
nLike they were looking at ghosts.
nTo the normal civilians, they couldn’t spend like that.
nA normal meal would cost one silver.
nOne silver here was like a thousand dollars.
nDrunk Fragrance Pavillion Treasurer rubbed his hands, and he was a little uneasy. “Young Master Lin, a hundred and three silver, I will just charge you a hundred.”
n“Get the bill.” Lin Fan reached out to tell Gou’zi to pay for it.
nThe treasurer heaved a sigh; it was good that he was willing to pay.
nIf Young Master Lin wasn’t willing, then so what if they were angry, could they quarrel with the Lin Family?
n“Young Master, we didn’t bring enough silver.” Gou’zi said softly.
nA little awkward.
nYoung Master spent too much.
n“Huh?” Lin Fan was stunned; what was going on?
nThey ate a little too much, without such riches, a normal family couldn’t afford it.
nSuch a thing actually occurred?
nWhat a joke!
nNo matter what, he was the son of a large family, to actually say they didn’t bring enough money.
nHow was it befitting of his identity?
nDid he still have face?
nAt that moment, the treasurer’s heart jumped.
nAlthough Gou’zi’s voice was soft, he heard it loud and clear. Not enough silver, were they trying to avoid paying?
n“Take a pen and paper, and I will write an IOU. Ask for it from the Lin Family.” Lin Fan said.
n“Ah.” The treasurer looked towards Lin Fan a little lost, ask from the Lin Family?
nEven if he had ten times more courage, he didn’t dare to.
n“Forget it, follow us back.”
nLin Fan saw that the treasurer wasn’t steely enough, and knew he wouldn’t dare head to the Lin Family.
nWhat he wanted was rage.
nHe ate and drank so much here, so he had to pay money.
nHe couldn’t bully people.
nThis was a little awkward, luckily that fellow left. If he stayed, he would become a joke and lose all his face.
nLin Family Courtyard.
nWhen the Drunk Fragrance Pavillion’s treasurer arrived with Lin Fan, he was a little careful and nervous while following behind Lin Fan.
nHis mind was a mess.
nHe was even thinking that the Lin Family Young Master brought him here to kill him.
n“Gou’zi, bring him to settle the bill.” Lin Fan said.
n“Yes, Young Master.” Gou’zi replied and brought the treasurer off towards another direction.
nLin Fan returned to the courtyard.
nHe stopped caring about anything else.
nIt was just money.
nSince his family is rich, he would spend it all.
nHe thought about it.
nWhile enjoying life, he would gain some rage points.
nTo gain rage and not do anything dangerous, only through his family could he do so.
n“Let’s look at my stats.”
nHe wasn’t too interested in cultivation and felt that it was tiring. Now it was just adding points to his stats, and he was satisfied with such a simple life.
nLin Fan
nPhysique: 10
nInternal Strength: 0
nHeart Cultivation: Nil
nCultivation Technique: Nil
nRage Points: 465
n“Interesting, since rage points can increase my stats, I won’t have to cultivate in the future.”
n“The situation seems good.”
nLin Fan nodded his head in silence.
nHis Physique jumped from ten to eleven.
nHis rage points dropped by a hundred points.
nAt this moment, he felt like his body had become a little stronger.
nLooking in a mirror.
nHe saw his expression was much better than before.
nIf he used other people as examples, these eleven points might be low, but it was a large change to Lin Fan.
nHe continued to add points.
nHis rage points decreased by three hundred, and his Physique rose up to 14.
nPeng!
nThere was a low sound in his body.
nHe ripped open his shirt, and there was a ball of energy which flowed beneath his skin.
nThere were actually muscles slowly forming.
nHis fingers grabbed onto a table. If it was before, he could only move a corner if he used all his strength.
nNow he used all his strength, and the four legs left the ground and rose into the air.
n“My strength increased, not bad.”
n“I told you, coming to a rich family, I have to enjoy life. How can I focus so much on cultivation? This golden finger allows me to avoid all difficulties perfectly.”
n14 points in Physique, how big was the change from before?
nHe had no idea.
nHowever, he knew that in the future when he was free, adding points to have some self-protection ability would not be bad.
nHowever, he had to find a long term source for rage points.
nJust at that moment.
n“Rage 50.”
n“Rage 100.”
n“Rage 200.”
n350 points in rage.
n“What was going on? I am in my room and didn’t offend anyone, so who sent the 350 points over?” Lin Fan pondered.
nHe had no idea.
nLin Family Hall.
n“Old Master, Young Master invited many beggars to eat at Drunk Fragrance Pavillion and paid 100 silver. The silver has been given to the Drunk Fragrance Pavillion Treasurer.” An old man said as he stood at the side.
nThe one who spoke was the Lin Family Head Accountant Old Wu.
nHe was as old as Lin Wanyi and spent 60 years in the Lin Family.
nHe didn’t expect the young master to actually spend so much in Drunk Fragrance Pavillion.
nIn the past, the young master didn’t like to train, but at least he didn’t waste money.
nHowever, he actually learnt how to do so.
nThat was something he didn’t expect.
nLin Wanyi listened to the report, his face was cold and his chest rose up and down. Rage burned within him as he grit his teeth.
n“What an unfilial child, what an unfilial child!”
nHe was too angry.
nHis body was shaking.
nOld Wu sighed. The Old Master didn’t like to read and didn’t know how to use words.
nHe had followed beside him for so long.
nThe two words he heard the most was an unfilial child.
n“Call this unfilial child over to see me!” Lin Wanyi roared.
nHe had always worried about him.
nIn the courtyard, Lin Fan laid on a bamboo chair with an umbrella over his head. In his hands was an ice cube which he slowly ate.
nGou’zi stood at the side, holding a fan and waving slowly.
n“The weather is a little hot.” Lin Fan said.
n“Young Master, it is a little hot, it hasn’t rained in a long time.” Gou’zi said.
nLin Fan loved to increase his stats and the rage points he got were used right away.
nPhysique: 18.
nIn a blink of an eye, it increased by 4.
nHe felt like he could kill a cow with a fist.
n“Gou’zi, take out that blade technique and let me look at it.” He didn’t look at it carefully in the past and just glanced at it. He was free now so he just took a look.
nGou’zi hurriedly took out the Vengeful Tiger Blade Technique. It would be great if Young Master is willing to cultivate.
nLin Fan read page by page.
nIt wasn’t a top cultivation technique.
nIt was a book teaching one how to use blades.
nIt was uninteresting.
nGou’zi looked and served his young master at the side.
nAfter a while, Lin Fan handed the book over to Gou’zi.
nThe stats had some change.
nIn the cultivation technique column, there were changes.
nCultivation Technique: Vengeful Tiger Blade Technique (Basics not yet learnt)
nHe tried to add his remaining points to it, but there was no reaction.
nAt that moment, footsteps could be heard.
nGou’zi knelt on the ground and said respectfully, “Old Wu.”
nLin Fan turned his head and saw that the person who came was the Lin Family accountant who grew up with Lin Wanyi. He had a high position in the Lin Family.
nHe wasn’t as young as Lin Wanyi, his face had marks left by time. He had white hair and his back was arced.
nHe smiled.
n“Young Master, Old Master called you over.” Old Wu said.
n“Understood.” Lin Fan replied.
nThe huge Lin Family.
nOnly his cheap old father could give him so many rage points.
nGou’zi wanted to follow but was stopped by Old Wu. Old Master was angry and for a servant to follow, he might be dragged down.
nLin Fan agreed.
nHe was that fellow’s son, but Gou’zi wasn’t.
nHe got a helper with much difficulty, and he didn’t want him to die just like that.
n“Young Master, don’t make him angry.” Old Wu said. “This Lin Family needs you to lead it later so it can continue on.”
nLin Fan smiled, “Understood ”
nOld Wu looked at the young master’s fake smile.
nHe felt totally speechless.
