Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

Chapter 30: Chapter 27 The Second Shuttle

Lin Hao’s guess was not wrong.

Mr. Liao truly came to find Lin Yuan.

As for the purpose, it naturally involved more than just congratulations.

Lin Hao, who had keen insight, upon hearing that Mr. Liao had important matters to discuss with Lin Yuan,

immediately stood up and led the others out, leaving only Lin Yuan and Mr. Liao in the private room to talk.

As the secretary to the head of the bureau, not even Huo Yanming’s identity as a senior colonel could suppress him in the slightest.

...
As for the others, naturally, they did not dare to have other opinions and all left the private room one after another.

Inside the private room.

Lin Yuan and Mr. Liao sat facing each other

“Mr. Lin, I have come to you this time because I have a favor to ask,”

Mr. Liao said directly, without beating around the bush.

“Please speak, Mr. Liao,”

Lin Yuan replied formally.

He could guess the intentions of the people from the Chu Family and the Huo Family,

but Mr. Liao… Lin Yuan was somewhat at a loss.

First off, as the president of the Evolver’s Association, his citizen level was also at Second Layer, and even if his evolver strength tier wasn’t as high as Lin Yuan’s, it wasn’t far behind.

Such a person, what could he possibly have to ask of Lin Yuan?

“In one more year, it will be time for Canglan Star’s tournament, and I would like to invite Mr. Lin to participate on behalf of Dongning City,”

Mr. Liao said solemnly.

“Tournament?”

Lin Yuan was slightly startled.

He then swiftly came to realize.

The tournament was an event that was extremely popular on Canglan Star and even throughout the entire Cosmic Human Alliance.

On the tournament stage, two evolvers would compete for the championship through combat, with the whole process broadcast live. It was incredibly action-packed and thrilling, and it was deeply loved by the citizens.

“Why choose me?”

Lin Yuan asked nonchalantly.

“Because Mr. Lin is a citizen of Dongning City and your age is lower than a hundred years, meeting the criteria for the star-level tournament,”

“Most importantly, Mr. Lin’s strength is extremely close to Second Layer.”

“You are among the strongest in Dongning City. If I didn’t choose Mr. Lin, would you have me pick those evolvers who are much weaker than you?”

Mr. Liao answered truthfully.

The tournament on Canglan Star was about selecting evolvers from various major cities to spar with each other and determine the strong from the weak.

“Not to hide it from Mr. Lin, our Dongning City’s rankings in the past few tournaments have not looked good. If this tournament turns out like the previous ones, I, as the president of the Evolver’s Association, could simply resign from my position,”

Mr. Liao’s face showed a hint of bitterness.

The Evolver’s Association is responsible for the management and training of all local evolvers.

Dongning City’s evolvers were weak, and if they did not perform well in the tournament, he, as the president of the association, would naturally have to take primary responsibility.

This was also one of the methods employed by the Cosmic Human Alliance to stimulate the potential of evolvers and guide the birth of more powerful ones.

Of course, if one could achieve good rankings in the tournament, such as making it into the top three thousand, they would receive official rewards.

“So that’s the case,”

Lin Yuan immediately understood.

“Mr. Lin, rest assured, if you can make it into the top five thousand in this tournament, our Evolver’s Association will provide a reward of fifty million civilization coins,”

Mr. Liao immediately promised, fearing that Lin Yuan would not agree.

According to past tournaments, roughly ten thousand evolvers would participate.

Among ten thousand evolvers, to achieve a rank within the top five thousand would be considered average.

The main thing is that in the previous tournaments, the rankings were always at the bottom. Mr. Liao had become scared of losing. For this tournament, he did not seek to push into the top three thousand for the official rewards but just to maintain within five thousand to avoid punishment.

“Fifty million?”

Lin Yuan’s heart stirred slightly upon hearing this.

No one would say no to more money, especially when Lin Yuan was in dire need of it.

Not to mention anything else, just the high-grade nutrient solution alone was something Lin Yuan had a great need for.

The first time he traveled back, Lin Yuan had used up a total of twenty-one bottles of high-grade nutrient solution to recover his full strength.

How many more bottles would he need for the next shuttle? And when his strength became even greater, high-grade nutrient solution alone probably wouldn’t be enough, and he might need even more restrictive resources.

And all of this,

required money.

If he could have an income of fifty million, Lin Yuan’s financial pressure should diminish considerably in the coming years.

“Okay,”

“I will consider it,”

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and nodded.

“No problem,”

Mr. Liao said, unconcerned.

Anyway, there was still a year before the arena battle, so there was plenty of time, and Mr. Liao was not in a hurry for Lin Yuan to give an immediate response.

…

Outside the private room.

A large crowd was anxiously guessing and waiting.

“Shoucheng, your son’s future achievements are boundless…”

Lin Hao looked at Lin Shoucheng, who was visibly agitated and couldn’t help but sigh.

As soon as these words were spoken,

the faces of the surrounding relatives showed complex expressions.

Originally, many of them harbored feelings of jealousy towards Lin Yuan.

But now, such emotions had long since vanished.

When the gap between two parties becomes insurmountable, all jealousy and resentment struggle to surface.

And now, Lin Yuan was a concrete example of this.

Even the esteemed President of the Evolver’s Association personally sought him out for discussion—a fact that anyone with common sense could interpret the significance of.

“You good-for-nothing.”

“Do you even have the face to stand here?”

Lin Hao glanced at his son and felt a surge of irritation.

If it hadn’t been for his son, Lin Yan’s last few words, the very act of intending to transfer the department’s quota to Lin Yuan, would have definitely gained him considerable favor.

But now, because of Lin Yan, even if that favor still existed, it was likely to be greatly diminished.

“Dad….”

Lin Yan hung his head in shame.

He had no idea that Lin Yuan possessed such influence, that people from the business sector, the military district, and even the President of the Evolver’s Association, such major figures, would personally come to visit.

At this moment, Lin Yan’s heart was still trembling, especially when Mr. Liao from the Evolver’s Association had expressly stated he was there to meet Lin Yuan—that had made his legs go weak.

…

Half an hour later.

Lin Yuan and Mr. Liao walked out of the private room.

After Mr. Liao took his leave, the Chu Family and the Huo Family also successively asked to be excused.

After all, this was someone else’s family banquet. As an outsider, now that their visit with Lin Yuan was completed, it didn’t seem right to stay any longer.

Once these people had left,

the Lin Family banquet continued.

But at this time, no one was in the mood to participate in the feast.

Their hearts were filled with extreme shock and complexity, their gazes towards Lin Yuan were filled with incomprehension and awe.

…

An hour later.

The Lin Family banquet came to an end.

Countless relatives hesitated, wanting to draw closer to Lin Yuan.

But they lacked the courage to do so.

“Xiaoyuan, what exactly is going on?”

Once they returned home, Lu Qiong couldn’t help but ask.

The family banquet had seen Lin Yuan becoming the center of attention, but afterwards, Lu Qiong was somewhat frightened.

“Mom, don’t worry.”

“When I registered as an evolver last time, I was classified as Second Layer, Level Twelve,” Lin Yuan said nonchalantly.

“Second Layer, Level Twelve?”

Lu Qiong almost thought she was dreaming.

She had hardly seen a few unranked evolvers, let alone a Second Layer, Level Twelve evolver.

“My son is a Level Twelve evolver?”

Lin Shoucheng was stunned.

…

Thus,

time slowly passed.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed.

Shuiyue Residential Complex, Number Thirty-Two.

The underground training ground.

Lin Yuan was seated with his legs crossed.

Suddenly,

he seemed to sense something.

Lin Yuan immediately focused his consciousness deep within his mind.

There, the massive, majestic, and imposing Door to the Myriad Realms, had its edges completely illuminated.
