The next few days, young master Lin lived like a pig, eating and sleeping, then eating and sleeping again. His biggest exercise each day was to accompany his wife in practicing their verbal sparring.
Finally, one morning, while eating breakfast, young master Lin couldn't stand this life any longer. He asked Zhang Lingxiu, "Wife, how much longer until Gao Wu school starts?"
Zhang Lingxiu, who was drinking milk, heard young master Lin's question. She thought carefully and replied, "About 10 more days. What's wrong, are you bored?"
Lin Zhan nodded and said, "No, if I stay idle any longer, something will happen. We need to stir things up."
After breakfast, young master Lin, with his arm around his wife, took out his communicator and prepared to rally his people, intending to embark on a grand undertaking.
"Hello, Xiao Ming? What are you doing? Ah, you're coming to visit tomorrow? Great, great, brother will wait for you." This rascal Lin Zhan knew the importance of proximity and decided to find his brother-in-law first. If there was something to do, he'd truly get it done.
Next, he had to contact his top enforcer, "Old Xiao, what are you busy with? Ah, you're not even resting during the New Year? You're not short of money."
"Busy, killing people, no time," came the sound of screams from Xiao Hanyi's end.
"Tomorrow, come to the capital. We brothers have work to do."
"Got it."
Young master Lin looked at the disconnected communicator, utterly bewildered. He turned to Zhang Lingxiu and said, "Wife, does he not even respect his big brother as an official?"
"Hey, hey, where's Da Zhuang? What do you mean he's coming to the capital? He's visiting my aunt's house? Perfect, we can start early tomorrow. Alright, I'm hanging up." Lin Da Shao hung up the communicator and immediately reported to his wife like a sycophant.
"Wife, Da Zhuang, that scoundrel, is visiting Anya's house. Shouldn't we go see them?" Su Dan Novel Network
Zhang Lingxiu suddenly seemed to recall something and said, "No wonder my mother left so early. She said she was going to Uncle's. Let's get ready and go too."
"Okay, wife. I'll contact Zhang Haoran and Ying Xuan, those two dimwits, and you can go put on your makeup first."
Young master Lin knew the essentials for a woman's outing. While Zhang Lingxiu was doing her makeup, Lin Da Shao had enough time to call everyone again and take a short nap.
"Hello, Ying the dimwit. Bring your brothers to the capital to gather. We have things to do. What things? Big things!"
"Hello, Zhang the great charlatan. Bring your brothers to the capital to gather. What, you're performing rituals for people? What rituals? How much money can that earn? Let your master do it. Come here and earn big money. I'm telling you, Haoming will be here tomorrow."
"Hello, Old Leng, what are you doing? What, you're breeding dogs? Hurry up and get ready to come to the capital to work. What, no time? You're not the one breeding, so hurry up and come. Bring all your equipment, and bring a few more dogs. Come quickly, and I'll get you some awesome medicine then."
"Hello, Old Zhang, what are you doing? Practicing diving? If you keep practicing diving, you'll end up living in the water. Hurry up and get ready to come to the capital. Yes, that's right, there's a big deal."
"Damn, how could I forget my White Paper Fan, the number one strategist? Hurry up and call Old Jiang!" Lin Zhan counted on his fingers and realized he had forgotten General Advisor Jiang.
"Old Jiang, yes, yes, yes, you understand me best. Alright, come over." Lin Zhan hung up the communicator and sighed, thinking that General Advisor Jiang truly understood his heart.
Master Lin's call summoned all the pillars of his organization. The mountain cat and wild beasts of China's number one gang would also gather in the capital tomorrow, ready to get things done, ready to do big things.
Finally, after young master Lin contacted all the members of the organization, took another nap, showered, and went to the restroom, he took his First Lady's arm and boarded the Lin family's private car, heading towards the An family's ecological park.
The An family's ecological park was located in the Xiangshan area near the capital. It was a botanical drug cultivation base covering an area of two thousand mu, and also a breeding ground for many special plant-based medicinal herbs.
The An, Wen, and Hua families were the three great medical families of China, and three of the four great medical families of humanity.
The An family focused on public health and medical care, with An family members found in every hospital and medical college.
The Wen family focused on military and battlefield medical rescue. It was the Wen family patriarch, Wen Liuhun, who saved Lin Shanhe back then.
The Hua family was more mysterious and had fewer members, but they were all highly skilled in medicine and possessed considerable martial arts prowess. If you saw someone carrying a medical kit while wielding a saber and chasing after people or fierce beasts, it was almost certainly someone from the Hua family.
In the words of an ancestor of the Hua family, doctors made their living with knives anyway. If they could save people, they could also cut people. Who they cut didn't matter, as one knife was enough for both the living and the dead.
The Lin family's private car stopped at the entrance of the An family's main residence. An family servants quickly opened the car door and respectfully said, "Miss Lingxiu, Young Master Lin, you're back. Please come in quickly."
Zhang Lingxiu walked into the main hall with Lin Zhan and greeted the An family patriarch, "Uncle, Aunt."
"Zhan'er and Lingxiu are here. Da Zhuang will be arriving soon too. Zhan'er, come with me to receive him. Lingxiu, you go with Aunt to see Anya," the An family patriarch said to Zhang Lingxiu and Lin Zhan.
Watching their receding figures, Lin Zhan asked his uncle, "Uncle, what is it that requires sending Xiu and Aunt away?"
The An patriarch pondered and said, "Zhan'er, the Human King has won. Tell me honestly, how many casualties did we suffer?"
Lin Zhan thought for a moment and replied, "Uncle, I'll tell you, but please don't spread it further. We didn't suffer any casualties among those above the Human King level. And although these old ancestors are few in number, their strength is immense; each one can overpower two of us."
"However, the situation is much worse for those below the quasi-king level. This time, humanity, the Dragon race, and the Sacred Beast race together lost over 500 quasi-kings. Although the Ten Thousand Races suffered even more losses, it was because my great-grandfather Lin Wufa broke through to King level during the battle. According to the rules, those who break through on the battlefield can continue to participate in the King's battle. Otherwise, I can tell you clearly, including my second and third grand-uncles, the 800 quasi-kings from the three races would likely have been wiped out."
The An patriarch nodded and continued, "I heard that most of these quasi-kings were awakened from tombs, and they are old quasi-kings whose lifespan is nearing its end. Is that correct?"
"That's right, Uncle. Of the 226 quasi-kings who participated in the battle for humanity, 200 were awakened from the King's tomb. They are old quasi-kings with only one battle left in them. In fact, it's not just the quasi-kings; even the lords, humanity's numbers are far fewer than the Ten Thousand Races," Lin Zhan said seriously.
"Then Zhan'er, can you help me invite a few old quasi-kings whose lifespan is nearing its end? Our An family wants to research a life-extending potion to increase human vitality and see if it has any effect on these elders whose lifespans are running out."
Lin Zhan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Uncle, this is a good thing! I'll contact people for you right away."
