Chapter 46
The fiery ball of light rising from the horizon colored the sky in shades of orange and yellow.
Lin Fan was going into an obsession. His bloodshot eyes were now staring blankly into space.
“Will I ever succeed?” Lin Fan was at the edge of tearing up out of frustration. I don’t even remember how many times I have committed suicide.
The last time. If I fail again, you should go and die.
Suddenly, an unexpected thing happened.
A sentence appeared on a blank page out of nowhere.
Golden Body Tempering Secret: undying body and expansion of muscles. Experience Points +3
Mortal high-class.
Is he trying to sell me all that iron forcefully because we are friends now?
Nope, I am not going to make a loss from this. I should try to confuse him.
“Senior Brother Huang, what’s up?” Lin Fan asked lazily.
I forgot to kill myself too, and now I am dead tired.
The disciple stepped out, preparing to fight. “Is that how you are supposed to address a senior brother?” He snapped.
Piak!
The disciple was about to scold Lin Fan, but before he could, he was sent flying out of the room.
Hung Fugui stepped forward, grabbing Lin Fan’s hands in his. “Junior Brother Lin,” he said with guilt. “Senior Brother is so sorry for what happened the other time. I hope you can forgive me for that.
“This is my gift to you. Please accept it.” Huang Fugui pointed to the cart.
“It’s fine, Senior Brother. I am not angry at you,” Lin Fan said, dumbfounded. Oh my, I thought he was here to force me into buying them! But am I someone who would take freebies?
Of course, yes. Duh.
But I will have to be polite. That’s the tradition!
“Senior Brother, how can I accept this? I will pay you for it. Scrap iron is costly after all,” Lin Fan lamented.
Hearing that, Huang Fugui nearly broke out into tears.
He never expected his Junior Brother Lin to think of him. To Huang Fugui now, money was nothing compared to his Junior Brother Lin, but he couldn’t reject Lin Fan’s kindness either.
“I’ll follow whatever Junior Brother says.” Huang Fugui patted Lin Fan’s shoulder.
“Ah?”
Oh my god.
This is not going where I want it to.
Why are you actually accepting my courtesy?! You should be rejecting it and offering to give it to me as a gift!
Isn’t that how things work?
Why do people in this world think otherwise? Why are all of you so hard to communicate with?
But there’s no point crying over spilled milk. I would be embarrassed if I suddenly changed my mind.
“In that case, I’ll take it since Junior Brother needs it urgently. As for the cost, Junior Brother hopes that Senior Brother will sell them to me on credit first. I’ll pay you back later,” Lin Fan said. I’m thick-skinned, anyway.
Huang Fugui hoped to earn something from the transaction, but since Lin Fan asked, he agreed to his request. “Of course. I only hope we can put our differences aside.”
Lin Fan smiled and patted Huang Fugui’s shoulder. “Thank you for trusting me. Junior Brother will remember for sure. Senior Brother can be at ease.”
“Okay.” Huang Fugui nodded. He trusted his junior brother a lot.
Of course, the timing is vague.
When’s “later” after all?
I need this iron now though to make my grenades and earn points from beasts.
