Chapter 3: Boss, I Want to Improve.
Boom~
A red arc of light erupted from Lin Bei's Tang dao, instantly raising the temperature of the area.
The fiery, arcing slash directly cut the sandbag and wooden stake in front of Lin Bei in half, leaving scorched marks at the points of separation.
As the red arc dissipated, a series of crackling sounds came, and everyone involuntarily looked at the hand Lin Bei held the blade with.
The once-new Tang dao was now not only charred black but also broken into several pieces and scattered on the ground, clearly unable to withstand the power of Sun Breathing.
This unprecedented and unheard-of feat made Gao Jin, Xiahou Wu, and the others' breathing grow heavy.
Lin Bei calmly dropped the hilt of the blade from his hand, wiped his hands with a hot towel Salina handed him, and then scanned the bodyguards below.
"I'm showing you this power to tell you that some anomalies have occurred in this world. Powers that once only existed in legends are gradually surfacing. Your skills are good, but to protect me and your family and friends in this increasingly dangerous world, I'm afraid they are far from enough.
The power I just used is called Sun Breathing. It strengthens oneself with the power of the sun and uses tools to unleash superhuman strength, possessing a natural suppressive force against certain legendary evil entities.
I want to teach you this power, but I don't know if you are willing to learn?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiahou Wu, Feng Yuxiu, and Gao Jin all raised their hands in unison.
Xiahou Wu and Feng Yuxiu were known martial arts fanatics; they naturally wouldn't miss an opportunity for further advancement.
Gao Jin's thoughts were even more straightforward. He was alive today because Lin Bei saved him and spent a lot of money to cure his illness.
He was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. Since he owed Lin Bei a life, he would do everything in his power to protect Lin Bei.
After Gao Jin and the two others expressed their stance, the rest also raised their hands, indicating their willingness to learn.
Aside from witnessing the power of Sun Breathing firsthand, Lin Bei's consistent performance as a 'prophet' was also one of the important reasons.
They were very satisfied with their current lives and did not want them to be disrupted by any external factors.
Seeing that his subordinates all had ambition, Lin Bei nodded with great satisfaction.
He then instructed Salina: "Have Ah Huo prepare the car; I need to go out."
"Yes!"
Salina responded and immediately ran off to prepare.
Given Lin Bei's current status, his entourage for each outing was quite grand, requiring ample time for preparation.
It wasn't that Lin Bei liked to show off, but having reached his current position, he had offended countless people, and he didn't know how many people secretly wanted his life, so strengthening security was a very necessary measure.
Half an hour later, the most luxurious private motorcade in all of Hong Kong departed from the Pan-Asia Group headquarters.
The escort vehicles in front and behind were either Benchi or Cadillac, but the one in the middle was not an old-brand luxury car like a Rolls-Royce or Lincoln, but a uniquely styled Hongqi CA770.
At Lin Bei's position, everything else was secondary; safety was paramount.
This car was a mobile fortress, handcrafted by top engineers from the mainland.
The car even had Gatling guns and miniature missiles installed, possessing ample counter-attack capabilities.
Throughout Hong Kong, even the Governor's car couldn't compare to Lin Bei's Hongqi.
When this car first drove on the streets of Hong Kong, it startled many people and almost caused the garrison to be deployed, as the symbolism of this car was simply too alarming.
After driving on the streets for a while, Lin Bei's luxury motorcade stopped at the entrance of Happy Amusement Park.
As soon as Lin Bei got out of the car, the amusement park owner, who had heard the news, immediately came out to greet him.
Although he was nearly two full cycles older than Lin Bei, the amusement park owner appeared very humble, one might even say fawning.
"Mr. Lin, my surname is Hu, and my given name is Feng. I am the owner of this amusement park. May I ask what brings you here and how I can assist you?"
Lin Bei glanced at Boss Hu and asked indifferently: "I heard you brought two thousand-year-old ancient corpses from the mainland for exhibition?"
Boss Hu replied cautiously: "That is indeed the case. Mr. Lin, are you interested in ancient corpses?"
Lin Bei did not answer, but instead surveyed the amusement park's environment. After a long while, he said: "Name your price; I want to buy your amusement park."
Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement immediately appeared on Boss Hu's face.
Everyone in Hong Kong knew that Lin Bei was a famous big spender; he would acquire anything he set his sights on, no matter how much it cost.
Boss Hu feigned a difficult expression and said: "Mr. Lin, the ownership structure of my amusement park is a bit complicated, plus there are issues with the land. I'm afraid I can't give you an answer right away."
Lin Bei scoffed at this. This amusement park was in a remote location. Although Hong Kong was a place where every inch of land was precious, not all areas were valuable, otherwise, those people in the New Territories would have gotten rich long ago.
He was too lazy to argue with this Mr. Hu and said directly: "One million, for exclusive use of your amusement park for one week."
Boss Hu was stunned. Didn't he just say he wanted to buy it? How did it suddenly become a week-long rental?
Before he could speak, Lin Bei spoke again.
"Nine hundred thousand!"
Damn it, the price is getting lower and lower! Boss Hu was so scared he didn't dare hesitate any longer and quickly replied: "Deal!"
Lin Bei snapped his fingers, and Huo Xixian, who had just been called over, immediately stepped forward to discuss the contract signing and payment with Boss Hu.
Meanwhile, Lin Bei turned to the bespectacled woman who had come with Boss Hu, dressed somewhat unfashionably, and asked: "Are you a staff member of this amusement park?"
The bespectacled woman shook her head and said: "I am Shao Yu, the person in charge of this ancient corpse exhibition. Hello, Mr. Lin!"
Lin Bei raised an eyebrow; he remembered who this woman was.
The history expert in "Ghost Catcher's Shop," the woman who was completely taken in by Yun Qing, who specialized in catching ghosts with technology.
Looking at her flat chest, Lin Bei instantly lost interest and said directly: "Take me to see those two ancient corpses!"
Shao Yu responded with an 'okay' and immediately led Lin Bei to where the ancient corpses were kept, explaining their origins to Lin Bei as they walked.
Lin Bei's reputation in the mainland was even more prominent than in Hong Kong. Shao Yu was just a staff member of a small museum. If it weren't for Boss Hu's sudden whim, somehow learning that their museum housed two ancient corpses, she probably wouldn't have had the chance to come to Hong Kong.
If she could use this opportunity to connect with Lin Bei and secure some sponsorship for her unit, a promotion and raise would definitely not be a dream.
Perhaps it was due to cultivating the Breathing Technique, but even before getting close to the two ancient corpses, from a distance of seven or eight meters, Lin Bei could already sense the strange aura emanating from them.
The signing process is underway. If you are satisfied, please consider investing and vote for recommendations.
