Chapter 35: The Second Son Awakens

's not a verbal code, but rather an action or expression, something subtle and hard to notice.""Well, then just nod. If you find yourself suspecting you're in a dream, just secretly nod your head. If..."Actually, their rules are quite simple. Foreign aid is martial arts competition, and disciples within the clan have two choices: one is to also participate in the martial arts competition, and the other is the literary competition, which tests business acumen. Both competitions use a points system."

The first place gets ten points, the second place gets seven, the third place gets five, the fourth place gets three, and the fifth place gets one. Everyone else receives no points. The same applies to the prose competition.

People within their clan generally opt for the literary examinations, as there aren't many martial arts masters in the family. Moreover, those who achieve high rankings in the literary examinations possess considerable intelligence and can better lead the family's development.

"Oh, so that's how it is. This seems quite troublesome!" Wang Lin helplessly rubbed his head.

"No trouble, you're responsible for the martial arts competition. Just need to get the opponent off the stage. Also, pay attention and try to hold back, don't cripple them. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good for Zhou family's reputation."

"Well, how many days will this martial arts training take about"

"Three days, maybe two at most, what's wrong" Wang Erpao looked at Wang Lin with some puzzlement. "Do you have something else going on"

"I'm going to be late for work! It's really hard for me to take time off.

My job requires me to be there every day, and if I'm not, no one can deliver the goods. I might even get fined."

Wang Lin sounded a bit helpless.

"That's something you need to think about yourself. To me, the money they offer is definitely far more than what you earn delivering packages. What's there to be conflicted about" Wang Erpao said nonchalantly.

"Yeah, just three days. I can handle it. If not, I'll hire someone. Why don't you try being the boss first"

"By the way, how come you know so much about the Zhou family's competition rules" Wang Lin looked at Wang Erpao with some suspicion. "Have you participated before"

"Ahem, I participated in one back when I was young," Wang Erpao said somewhat awkwardly. "After that, I haven't gone again."

"Didn't place well People don't look up to you"

"Hey! Do you have to say it out loud! No one thinks you're a mute if you don't speak!" Wang Erpao slammed his fist on the table, sounding rather angry.

"Haha, no more, no more. So you're suggesting I go there, right"

"Yes, it's a good thing to go out and broaden your horizons while you're young."

"Okay, I understand. Have your meal. I'll go first."

Wang Lin stood up, went to the boss to settle the bill, and left. It was enough to understand what happened. He couldn't stand being here chatting with Wang Er Pao, this rough guy. It was much more interesting to chat with Xiaoyue.

Thinking of Xiaoyue, his mood seemed to improve. The "mask" he used to wear on his face was gone, and a happy smile lit up his features.

Back home, Wang Lin lay on the bed and felt the results of his heart energy cultivation. He was immediately shocked, "What's going on Why has my heart energy increased so much!"

Today's energy boost is similar to the past five days. Could it be because of the thing I encountered today, or something else

I didn't do anything today either Could it really be because of that thing If that's the case, then my cultivation would have a shortcut, haha, awesome!

But anticipating this every day, won't that seem a bit masochistic Whatever. As long as it strengthens my abilities, everything is worthwhile.

From now on, call me the destroyer of bad reviews!

"Are you alright, boss!" Lao Er's voice echoed in his mind.

"Haha, Second Brother, you finally woke up!" Hearing Lao Er's voice, Wang Lin became even more excited. "It's so hard for you to wake up once."

"That won't happen again. I was in a deep sleep for a while because I needed to merge with your memories."

"Is the fusion successful now I don't feel anything at all." Wang Lin closed his eyes and felt around, but found no change.

"Well, it worked. It doesn't feel any different though, that's normal, right I merged memories, not souls."

"Oh oh, so you won't have anything to do in my head anymore" Wang Lin was a little worried, afraid that this kid would be idle and cause trouble in his head.

"Yeah, it's fine now. You can go see the world with the big boss!" Lao Er said excitedly.

Wang Lin is really a little worried now. He knows his own character best. For a more stable future, he still needs to arrange something for the second child.

"Alright, you have nothing to do anyway, just learn online through my phone!"

"Huh Boss, I just woke up, and already I have to learn again" The second brother in Wang Lin's mind stared blankly with his eyes wide open, looking at Wang Lin as if he wanted to cry.

"Well, well, take advantage of your youth and learn as much as you can. Choose what you want to learn yourself, but won't you fall into deep sleep again while learning"

"No, I learn just like you used to in class, I won't fall asleep." The second son was a bit helpless. What kind of person is this He just presses down on the poor "newborn."

"Alright then, I usually keep my phone close to me. Just stay inside the phone and learn. Whether we can succeed in being cool later on depends on you!" Wang Lin gave an encouraging look, crossed his arms, and laughed heartily.

"Well, the wicked capitalists!"

The second son looked at Wang Lin with resentment, as if a neglected wife who had been alone for a long time had just seen her husband come home from a business trip, only to leave again shortly after.

Wang Lin smiled wryly and continued to tempt him, "Old Second, you have to think long-term. Imagine everyone else looking up to you with admiration in the future, respecting you deeply. Wouldn't that make you feel invigorated"

"No, don't forget, we are one person, with the same personality and everything!"

"Haha, don't mind the details, just work hard, young man!"

The second brother entered Wang Lin's phone with some helplessness. Wang Lin saw the phone screen start to automatically jump, and he smirked. Having more people around was indeed a good thing!

"Don't you dare look at my chat history with Xiaoyue!"

Seeing the phone screen jump to the chat interface, Wang Lin roared.

"Come on, boss, remember we're a team. I don't need to know everything you guys are talking about." Lao Er said dismissively with no energy.

"Then you can also help me chat with Xiaoyue, right Search online for some nice things to tell her."

Wang Lin was truly surprised this time, he always had no idea what to talk about during their chats. Now that he has this future encyclopedia, there's no way he wouldn't be able to win over Xiaoyue.

"Got it, got it!"

"Haha, Lao Er, you are truly invincible! Sometimes I'm really envious of you!"

"Jealous How about we swap You stay in the phone, and I take over your body"

Upon hearing this, Wang Lin was surprised, "Is that possible"

Of course, as long as you want to, but it will be almost impossible to change back later," Lao Er said intentionally or unintentionally.

"You wouldn't want to take over my body, would you" Wang Lin was a little scared now. If he were taken over, would I still be me

"Hehehe, guess" Lao Er smirked. "Don't want to be possessed by me Then work hard and become stronger!"

Wang Lin was so scared that his hair stood on end. This, this is the power of awakening! It felt like he had awakened a keg of gunpowder.

"Well, let things take their course. There's no point in resisting now anyway."

"Keep studying, I'm going to sleep. I've been so exhausted these past few days, non-stop work."

"Well, alright!"nce footage along the route and finally found some clues this afternoon."After he fled, after wandering around the city for a while, he ended up at an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs. Our people im...
