Cosmic Trading System

Inside a luxurious private room in Wangxian Tower.

Lin Yun was conversing with Boss Wang and his group.

Everyone in Boss Wang's group was very polite towards Lin Yun, even somewhat respectful.

Through the conversation, Lin Yun found out that Boss Wang's name was Wang Zhan.

"I never imagined that the vegetables we have been sourcing for Wangxian Tower recently were supplied by your family, Boss Lin…" Wang Zhan exclaimed.

He did not expect that Lin Yun, such an important figure, would come from a small county town like Immortal Origin County, and that Lin Yun's parents were still selling vegetables for a living.

However, he didn't look down on Lin Yun at all.

Heros don't ask about their origins. The fact that someone like Lin Yun, with such humble beginnings, could reach his current status demonstrates that he is no ordinary person.

The background behind Lin Yun could be more than just his family. It could also be a network that Lin Yun built single-handedly.

Such super-rich second generations are even more worth associating with.

At this point, he knew the whole truth about the incident, feeling a sense of relief as well as irritation.

The relief came from the fact that he had established a relationship with Lin Yun through this.

The irritation was because Wangxian Tower almost offended Lin Yun.

If he had not been here today and Lin Yun held a grudge against Wangxian Tower or even him as the boss, he wouldn't even have a place to cry.

With these thoughts in mind, he turned his eyes to Waiter Leader Zhao, who was trembling nearby, and said coldly, "Your name is Zhao Hong, right? Later, go to accounting to collect your salary. Don't come back to work!"

"Boss, please don't fire me, I was wrong, I know I was wrong..." Zhao Hong knelt down with a thud and wept bitterly.

He really didn't want to lose the glamorous life he had now. The reason he felt so superior in front of his family and friends was entirely due to his current status.

If his family and friends found out that he was fired from Wangxian Tower, they would most likely look down on him and make fun of him.

Thinking of this outcome, Zhao Hong was slightly terrified, which made him discard his dignity and plead with Wang Zhan.

At this moment, he deeply regretted everything.

If he knew earlier, why would he have come today to curry favor with Secretary Zhu's group?

Even if he did curry favor with them, why did he have to provoke Lin Yun and his group?

Unfortunately, there are no do-overs in life. It was too late for him to regret it now.

How could Wang Zhan care about him?

SSZhao Hong's behavior only caused him to look down on him even more.

Soon, two people were asked to drag Zhao Hong away.

At the same time, he instructed someone to inform the purchaser in the kitchen that he also wouldn't need to return to work after collecting his salary.

"Are you a chef at our Wangxian Tower? If you plan to continue working here, I can give you the treatment of a head chef. How does that sound?" Then, Wang Zhan turned to Liu Ming, who was standing next to Lin Yun, and asked jovially.

"I... I... I am willing to continue working in Wangxian Tower, but isn't the treatment too high..." Liu Ming stuttered, his face turning red.

In his eyes, their boss was a super-wealthy individual with nearly a billion dollars to his name. He was high and above, so how could he not be excited when he was talking to a small fry like him?

At the same time, he understood that their boss was treating him this way entirely because of Lin Yun.

He also didn't expect Lin Yun, who had been outside for a few years, to have become this influential. Liu Ming's admiration for Lin Yun grew even more.

However, he was self-aware, he didn't have the skills of a head chef, and he felt unworthy of the head chef's treatment.

"Haha, this is the first time I've ever seen an employee who thinks their treatment is too high." Wang Zhan laughed.

"First, you start learning culinary skills from our head chef at Wangxian Tower, and I will arrange for this to happen. Your culinary skills will improve in the future. As for your current high treatment... it's just right; the current purchaser no longer works, so the position's duties are passed on to you.

Since you have two responsibilities now, it's natural for your treatment to be higher." Wang Zhan paused before saying joyfully.

All the while, he kept watching Lin Yun's reactions; noticing that Lin Yun did not object, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Truthfully, he was very happy for this man to continue working in Wangxian Tower.

The compensation of a head chef did not concern him at all.

If he could befriend Lin Yun through this man, it would be completely worth it.

As long as this man stayed in Wangxian Tower, there would be a connection between him and Lin Yun.

"Thank you, Boss, thank you very much!" Liu Ming nodded repeatedly, full of excitement.

The opportunity was given to him; if he didn't seize it now, he would be a real fool.

Wang Zhan made all these arrangements in front of Lin Yun; Lin Yun slightly nodded in his heart. Even though he didn't have deep ties with Liu Ming, which was why he didn't stop Wang Zhan from recruiting Liu Ming, Liu Ming had helped his family in the past, and he remembered this act of kindness.

"As investors, what we fear most is encountering issues with local officials. Thus, before investing in a place, we typically will do a preliminary assessment for a while. The Wangxian Tower is a vanguard, and it also gives us a chance to observe the higher-ups in Immortal Origin County. It's a spot for exchanging ideas among friends..."

"The smaller the place is, the more likely there are problems with the officials. Speaking frankly, it's hard to judge the situation in Immortal Origin County..."

"We noticed the ban in Immortal Origin County on tricycles. Hmm... it certainly tramples on human rights. Because of that, we have some concerns. So many local people's rights are compromised like this. If we outsiders invest here and the authorities present any kinds of problems, it'd be like crying out to the heavens and receiving no answer, calling to the earth and getting no response..."

At this moment, Wang Zhan said to Lin Yun.

"Now, we probably don't have to consider investing in Immortal Origin County anymore..."

Pausing for a moment, Wang Zhan laughed.

"The generosity each and every one of you showed, I'll remember it. If you believe in me, perhaps you could put your investments on hold for now. Give it some time and we can discuss it later..." Lin Yun said with a slight smile.

The strengths of these people were not low, particularly, their experiences in various fields were remarkably rich. He did not mind developing these people into his partners, but that would need careful and long-term consideration.

"Of course, we believe in Boss Lin..."

"Postponing for a little while should be no problem..."

"Thank you, Boss Lin..."

Hearing Lin Yun's words, Wang Zhan and his colleagues showed amazed expressions and hastily replied.

With Lin Yun's guarantee, their earlier stand doesn't make them fall foul with Immortal Origin County officials for nothing.

...

Not long after arriving at Wangxian Tower, Lin Yun and Zhao Gang left.

"Who would have thought, Boss, you've actually done so well for yourself in the few years you've been gone," Zhao Gang remarked on the road.

"It was just in the past two months that such major changes happened. Two months ago, I was set up and almost lost everything," Lin Yun shook his head and replied.

Zhao Gang nodded, completely believing Lin Yun's words.

In his view, Lin Yun must have experienced many challenging things to accumulate such substantial assets.

In any case, there's no such thing as a pie falling from the sky. The greater the reward, the greater the effort and risk. The sacrifices Lin Yun made these past few years were undoubtedly unimaginable for an ordinary person.

"So, what do you think? Will you come and help me?" Lin Yun looked at Zhao Gang and asked with a smile.

"With the size of your thigh, boss, I'd be a fool not to latch onto it!" Zhao Gang replied, chuckling.

"Stop it! Your thigh is the thick one!" Lin Yun threw a playful kick his way, rolled his eyes and said.

Zhao Gang didn't let Lin Yun's wealth cause distance and restraint between them, which greatly relieved Lin Yun.

"Ha, ha..."

The two frolicked for a while.

"That girlfriend of yours, do you really not consider getting her back?" Lin Yun suddenly asked.

Zhao Gang paused.

He knew that with Lin Yun's current wealth, helping him win his girlfriend back probably wouldn't be too difficult.

The problem between him and his girlfriend wasn't a matter of feelings.

But now, it had become more than just a pragmatic issue.

"Boss, give me some time to think about it," Zhao Gang said after a long silence, exhaling slightly.

"Fine. Here's a card with ten million in it, take it. Consider it your salary in advance. If there's anything you need to spend money on, feel free to use it." Lin Yun nodded, taking a gold bank card out of his pocket and giving it to Zhao Gang.

"A salary of ten million, Boss, you're too generous... I don't think I could ever earn this much in my lifetime..." Zhao Gang didn't take the bank card, giving Lin Yun a bitter smile.

"A lifetime is a very long time," Lin Yun said with a faint smile.

"Alright, take it. You should know that at this point, ten million is nothing to me." Lin Yun laughed, patting the bank card into Zhao Gang's hand.

"Fine, I'll take the bank card. Let me make this clear, though: I'm all yours for life," Zhao Gang thought for a while, then nodded seriously.

"Then you'll find out just how much of a loss you've taken," Lin Yun laughed.

Does a lifetime only last a few decades?

After acquiring the Cosmic Trading System, he knew that wasn't the case.

In the universe, countless civilizations existed. Humans in some advanced civilizations could easily live for thousands, even tens of thousands of years.

Legend had it that all Super Warriors had eternal life spans.

Once he had Earth's civilization pretty much under control, he intended to pass down the methods of cultivation. Then, the lifespan of an Earthling would be much longer than a hundred or so years.
