Chapter 319 - 319 Lin Tian Consumed with Remorse
319 Lin Tian Consumed with Remorse
An hour later, after Li Chengqian returned to the Divine Dragon Company, he went to the automated farm. Ever since his Stamina Stats reached 100,000+, Li Chengqian had never been to the automated farm again. He was a little unconcerned about the farm.
Because with his current stamina, even nuclear bombs might not be able to kill him.
He came over today to use his Profession skill on the plum tree. He wanted to continue nurturing it.
He wanted to increase the power of the plum’s lifespan extension ability. He would give the plum to his parents after he is satisfied with its quality.
As soon as he arrived under the plum tree, his phone rang.
Li Chengqian was puzzled when he saw that it was Lin Tian calling, but he still answered the call.
“Leader Tian, what’s the matter?”
“Li Chengqian, do you still have the plums you brought me today?” Lin Tian was very calm, but Li Chengqian was very sharp and he detected the slight trembling in his voice.
Li Chengqian glanced at the densely packed fruits on the plum tree behind him and replied without hesitation, “No! The plums were nurtured using special methods. They’re very precious and very difficult to nurture. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I was just asking!” Lin Tian sounded dejected and extremely disappointed. This time, he didn’t even hide it.
Then, Lin Tian was silent for a long time before he spoke. His voice was nervous and filled with anticipation.
“Li Chengqian … how long will it take for you to cultivate one of these plums? Can you give it to me? I can pay.”
“This plum was nurtured by chance. I can’t guarantee how long it will take to nurture a fruit with the same effect next time.”
“I can only say that it depends on luck. If you’re lucky, it’ll be fast. If you’re not, it might never be nurtured.”
“The effect of the fruit might not be the same. Perhaps the effect will be better, or it might not have any effect,” Li Chengqian deliberately emphasized this point. Lin Tian would definitely understand the meaning behind his words.
“I can only… try my best!” Li Chengqian ended the call and shook his head. He smiled and began to use his Skill on the plum tree.
While Li Chengqian was speaking on the phone, the artificial intelligence, Bai Ze, had already briefly updated him on what had happened to Lin Tian.
…
It turned out that after Li Chengqian left, Lin Tian called Wang Kui over to discuss the mission Li Chengqian had given him.
Wang Kui picked up the plum.
Lin Tian didn’t care about the plum. He had always felt that Li Chengqian had lied to him about increasing his lifespan, so he didn’t stop Wang Kui from eating it.
After Wang Kui, who was almost 70 years old, ate the plum, his snow-white hair turned black and full of luster in front of Lin Tian within half an hour.
Thick black hair also appeared on his bald spot.
Wang Kui’s skin, which was full of wrinkles and furrows, also became smooth in half an hour. The black spots on his skin disappeared without a trace.
And his sagging cheeks also reverted to a healthy state.
His yellow eyeballs and listless pupils turned white, and his eyes became lively.
Even the loose muscles on his body had returned to the state they were in when he was young.
Lin Tian was consumed by remorse when he saw Wang Kui revert to his 30-year-old appearance in half an hour. His face fell.
This plum was given to him by Li Chengqian!
Originally, he was the one who could get his youth back!
However, because he didn’t believe Li Chengqian, the plum was eaten by Wang Kui.
As for Wang Kui, he was overjoyed after discovering the changes in his body! Even with his scheming mind, he couldn’t suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Lin Tian’s expression turn ugly, Wang Kui tried his best to hold back his laughter, but he couldn’t hold it in at all.
“Leader Tian, what exactly did I just eat?” Wang Kui couldn’t help but ask.
He very much wanted to know the details of the plum.
Where did this plum come from? Did it have any side effects?
Did he permanently restore his youth, or…
Wang Kui had countless questions in his heart, but Lin Tian was already visibly upset. He didn’t dare to ask further.
Judging from the remorse on Lin Tian’s face, this plum was definitely not simple. It was very likely that Lin Tian didn’t know what was good for him and allowed him to eat it.
“Leader Wang, that’s all for today.”
“It’s getting late. You should go back first.” Lin Tian used his strong willpower to speak calmly, but he was extremely regretful in his heart.
After Wang Kui left, Lin Tian could no longer hold it in. He quickly walked to the box where the plum was placed and rummaged carefully, hoping to find other plums in the box.
After discovering that there were no plums, he was heartbroken. His heart ached so much that he couldn’t breathe.
“I regret it…”
“My plum, my lifespan, my young body…”
“This plum was sent by Li Chengqian. Since he gave me one, it means that he still has more.” Lin Tian suddenly felt hopeful. He took out his phone and immediately called Li Chengqian.
…
Lin Tian felt better after the phone call.
Through this phone call, he knew that Li Chengqian still had more plums in his hands.
The effect was even better than the one he sent.
Although Li Chengqian didn’t say it explicitly, his meaning was already clear. Lin Tian had to show his sincerity if he wanted the plum.
If Li Chengqian was satisfied with Lin Tian’s sincerity, he would provide him with fruits that were even more effective.
What was the best way to show sincerity?
It was the planetary management system and the nuclear fusion power station!
As long as these two things were done well, Li Chengqian would definitely provide plums that were more effective.
“Looks like I have to speed up the progress!” Lin Tian opened the planetary management system and saw a notification in the system.
“Prompt 1: Deploy the planetary management system client to all civil servants’ phones and computers!”
The planetary management system had already drafted the activation document. It was displayed in a box below the notification. Lin Tian made a special effort to read it. The document written by the system was very concise, the logic was sound and the sentences read well. It was succinct and the template was in order too.
He only needed to disseminate it through the existing official channels to inform all the civil servants.
The planetary management system would then be installed directly on the computers and phones of all civil servants. The civil servants don’t have to do anything.
“Xiaohan, the livestream hasn’t started yet, right? Inform them that I want to do a special livestream.”
“Inform all the military and civil servants in the country to watch this livestream!”
Lin Tian’s original plan was to implement the planetary management system tentatively, just to play safe.
However, he understood Li Chengqian to mean that if he implemented the planetary management system and completed the nuclear fusion plant as soon as possible, he might be able to obtain better plums.
Lin Tian changed his mind.
He wanted to complete Li Chengqian’s instructions in the shortest time possible.
With the magnetic plane and the hundred armed robots provided by Li Chengqian, he can shoot down any objections.
Whoever dared to oppose the progress of social management would be crushed by the wheels of history.
“System, prepare a speech for me! Explain the benefits of using the system. The time limit is 30 minutes.” For the livestream that night, Lin Tian needed a script. He wanted to see if the system was as smart as Li Chengqian had said.
The screen flashed and a sentence appeared.
“Captain Planet, the speech has been completed.”
“Captain Planet? This name is really unpleasant. It’s Li Chengqian’s work.” Lin Tian’s heart trembled a little, and then he complained about Li Chengqian’s horrible naming.
“It’s really fast. I’m just afraid… I can’t use it!” Lin Tian clicked on it curiously. His face suddenly became serious.
“This standard is amazing!” After spending 10 minutes reading the manuscript, be it logic or text, it was top-notch. It was an excellent piece of work!
If he had asked the secretariat to write it, it would at most be at this level, but they would take at least a week to complete.
There were 327 members of the Secretariat.
“With the system, the number of secretaries in the country can be reduced by 100,000! After these people are streamlined, they can go and do some real work.”
After sighing, Lin Tian continued to order, “System, connect the Ministry of Defense’s command system.”
“Connect the weapons command system and logistics support system of the Ministry of Defense.”
“From now on, my direct authorization is required for the use of any weapon and for the mobilization of the army.”
“The system will directly review the orders for normal duty.”
“Any abnormal duty orders would not be allowed and would be blocked.” Lin Tian instructed.
“Captain Planet, the order has been executed!”
“Weapon count completed! The control command of some connected arms has been taken over.”
“Soldier count completed! The individual communication system has been taken over. If necessary, the orders of the Captain Planet can go straight to the ears of the soldiers.”
“Radar data access completed!”
“Territory data imported.”
“Patrol, training, duty… Data import completed.”
“Captain Planet, please complete part of the intelligent modification of the weapons as soon as possible…”
The system completed everything extremely quickly.
Lin Tian opened the military module in disbelief and realized that all the connected weapons had already entered the system’s arsenal. Even missiles could be fired directly through the system, the method of firing was very simple. All he needed to do was enter the destination coordinates.
The system would also provide a prompt on how many missiles could be used to achieve the greatest strategic goal.
“Simply divine! How did Li Chengqian become so clever?” Lin Tian sighed again.
“System, put the magnetic plane and armed robots in combat readiness!” Then, he gave the order again.
