How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 169: An Expedition Team, None of Them Are Simple

Chapter 169: Chapter 169: An Expedition Team, None of Them Are Simple

Lin Xiaosu smiled.

This girl was very shy, always keeping her head down and even walking with her head lowered, causing her to bump into the glass door this time.

When he looked up and smiled, the girl’s cheeks instantly turned red, almost turning around to run away, but she still pushed open the glass door and stepped onto the platform.

"Hello!" Lin Xiaosu greeted her.

"Hello..." the girl also replied.

"We have met on the high-speed train."

"Yes, it’s a bit of a coincidence huh..." The girl walked over, still with her head down.

"This is what they call fate bringing people together from miles apart!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Have a seat, let me treat you to a cup of tea."

"This..."

Lin Xiaosu raised his hand slightly and gestured to a Tibetan girl ten meters away, "Two green teas, thanks!"

The girl’s cheeks turned red, she tried to protest a bit, but since the handsome guy had already ordered the tea, she gave up resisting.

She took a seat next to the tea table.

"Sir, would you like some sunflower seeds and fruits?" The Tibetan girl, holding two cups of green tea, came to the tea table.

"Please bring some."

"Okay!" Soon, several snacks were served on the tea table.

Lin Xiaosu picked up his tea cup: "Are you all from Nanjiang University?"

"Yes!"

"I heard you talking about going into the mountains?"

"Yes... You? Are you here for a trip?" The girl finally asked her first question.

"I am also planning to enter the mountains."

The girl was a bit surprised: "You’re going into the mountains alone?"

"Yes."

"That’s not safe; it’s too risky. You should form a team to enter the mountains; it can be dangerous in there."

"Can I join your team then?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

The girl hesitated for a moment and then gently shook her head: "I’m afraid not, we are here on a research mission, it’s not suitable to team up with outsiders... Why must you go into the mountains?"

"This... let me be honest, my girlfriend has been afflicted with a mysterious toxin, and I am seeking the legendary ’jietai fruit’."

The girl said, "Stricken by a mysterious toxin? Can’t modern medicine treat her?"

"If there was a way with modern medicine, why would I need to take the risk to enter the mountains? I’ve been studying these mountain ranges for half a year now, and from the information that has come out, there are at least three things that could work against my girlfriend’s toxin—jietai fruit, Holy Branch Dew, and Water Spirit Ice Heart; Holy Branch Dew and Water Spirit Ice Heart are far away above the glaciers, but jietai fruit might appear in the temple."

"You even know about the temple?" The girl’s eyes sparkled.

"Yes, I know there are three pathways to enter the temple, the most accessible one has three barriers, and none are easy. If I were to go alone, it would indeed be perilous, although I once told little Ye I could die for her, if I actually died, what would she do?"

The girl slowly looked up: "Your girlfriend is called little Ye?"

"Yes, despite being afflicted by a mysterious toxin and plunged into an eternal night, she is still the brightest lamp in my sky..."

The romantic charm in her eyes seemed to flutter, evidently touched by this romantic sentiment.

Finally she exhaled softly: "Can I discuss this with the professor?"

"Thank you!"

The girl stood up, went into a room on the second floor, and consulted with Professor Yin.

As soon as she started to speak, Professor Yin frowned, instinctively wanting to reject the idea.

However, when the girl relayed everything Lin Xiaosu had said, the professor was silent for a long time: "He has actually studied these mountains for half a year and knows so much?"

"Yes, a man deeply in love, willing to endure any hardship to save his beloved," the girl dreamily responded.

"Agree to it then. He can come along, but he must follow our arrangements throughout the journey."

With the professor’s words, the girl’s heart bloomed.

She was different from the professor.

The professor was concerned about whether an additional person would help or hinder their objectives.

While her thoughts were on whether there was a way to help this infatuated man achieve his purpose.

His story of romance was too beautiful, so beautiful that no woman could remain unmoved; the girlfriend stricken with a toxin plunged into eternal night, and he, ready to sacrifice his life to pluck a star for her from the vast night sky... ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Such a devoted man, she wondered if she would ever encounter one in her lifetime.

But to contribute to such a beautiful love story was something she was willing to do.

What she absolutely could not foresee, was that Lin Xiaosu had fabricated the entire story...

The story’s sweetness was quite high.

In fact, the sweetness was just an appearance.

What it truly contained was not just sugar.

More so, it was high-level information, psychology, and even strategic skills...

Indeed, stepping onto this path, Lin Xiaosu strategically began to gamble, competing with unseen opponents...

Kun Cang was mysterious.

Blindly stepping into the forbidden lands of Kun Cang was dangerous.

So, if he’s got a brain, he’d better not think about entering Miyan Road alone, otherwise, he would be like a fly entering the invisible net of the opponent, bumping around under the eyes of the opponent, and within their predictions.

This is the biggest taboo in playing a game against a mysterious opponent.

The best way is to form a team.

Using others to draw Kun Cang’s attention, while he, as an observer, slowly peels off Kun Cang’s outer layer...

This is a display of strategic skills.

What about the high-end information?

It’s embodied in the few words he just said.

Jietai fruit, Holy Branch Dew, Water Spirit Ice Heart, temple, three passages, three checkpoints...

These include folk legends and Qianlong Information.

As long as he throws these out, his statement about researching this mountain area for half a year is fully corroborated — he is a "Miyan expert"!

So, where does psychology come into play?

He believes that as long as he throws out these things, Professor Yin will agree to let him join the expedition.

Because everyone knows that entering the mountain is dangerous.

Having someone who has researched these mountains to this extent join the adventure team is a good thing.

Indeed, when the girl stepped onto the platform again, she told him, "The professor agreed!"

Lin Xiaosu smiled, "What is your name?"

"My name is Dawa."

"Are you from the Tibetan clan?" Dawa, in Tibetan, means moon, a name many women like to use.

"Mm, and you? What’s your name?"

"Just call me Brother Su."

"I feel... I feel like you might not be older than me... It’s just that I have a small frame, actually I’m not young, really."

The two started to get familiar with each other...

Lin Xiaosu asked about their goal for entering the mountain.

Dawa told him.

Since now they were sure they would form a team to enter the mountain, there was no need to conceal their objective from him.

Their target was also the temple.

But, unlike what Lin Xiaosu wanted to obtain, what they needed was a peculiar flower called "Bodhi Beyond," which once appeared in Southern Border and some petals of which had ended up in the laboratory of Nanjiang University.

Professor Yin tested it and was amazed to find that the flower contained a legendary gene of Reverse Growth.

This kind of gene was unheard of, and if deciphered, would revolutionize human life sciences.

Unfortunately, it was only a petal, and the gene within it was incomplete.

Therefore, he brought his four graduate students into the mountains, hoping to obtain a complete Bodhi Beyond.

"Four graduate students?" Lin Xiaosu frowned slightly, "It seems like there are five of you."

"That Mr. Hu is not a graduate student; he is the guide."

"A guide? A Mr. Hu? Which one?"

"That one!" Dawa lightly pointed in a direction with her mouth.

Lin Xiaosu lifted his eyes and saw the pretty handsome man, who was currently at the edge of the platform, having an animated conversation with a female tourist, with bits of conversation reaching his ears, leaving Lin Xiaosu somewhat speechless.

Because this Mr. Hu was already discussing with the female tourist the question of whether one should expect a romantic encounter when traveling.

His attitude was very clear: In this life, one only has a dozen or so years to indulge in desires freely, why suppress oneself? Embracing nature is true liberty, how about it? Shall we delve deep into life tonight?

The female tourist giggled without committing one way or the other...

"This guide sure can boast. He actively involved himself and said that as long as he was part of it, Eternal Heaven would protect the team, and I don’t know why the professor believed his nonsense and really agreed to have him as a guide. I think he actually came for Li Sisi..." Dawa looked disapprovingly at Little Hu.

The Li Sisi she mentioned is another beauty in the team, elegantly beautiful, walking a different path from hers...

This kind of beauty can indeed attract flies.

Guide Hu is probably such a fly.

Just like his style of seizing opportunities to discuss life with female tourists, very typical.

However, all this, in Lin Xiaosu’s view, wasn’t so simple.

Every person in this team was extraordinary!

Eventually, Little Hu exchanged contact information with the female tourist and went back to his room excitedly, but when Lin Xiaosu and Dawa were having their second cup of tea, he came out and came straight to Lin Xiaosu.

"Hi!" He slapped Lin Xiaosu on the shoulder, "Buddy, are we teammates now?"

Lin Xiaosu looked up at this relatively handsome face and nodded lightly, "It seems so."

"What’s the point in drinking this bland tea? Let me treat you to a drink!" He sat down on a chair nearby, pulling out a big sheepskin bag, which based on its appearance, seemed like a family heirloom, and was somehow related to his grandfather.

Dawa frowned a bit and moved her chair quietly slightly away from Little Hu...

Lin Xiaosu said, "Why the offer to drink?"

"Two reasons. The first is, I’m the handsomest in the team, and you’re the second. When the handsomest and second handsomest meet, we should drink one as a testament that the handsome way is not lonely," said Little Hu.

Lin Xiaosu couldn’t help but smile, "And the second reason?"

"The second reason is... how did you manage to talk with Dawa for so long? The whole team knows Dawa’s words never exceed one syllable, apart from ’Oh’, ’Mm’, ’Okay’, ’No’, she has nothing else. And now she’s actually chatting with you lively, this seduction skill, I have to learn from you."
