Free Web NovelChapter 260: Chapter 194: The Red Thread of Fate’s Specialty Products!
"You, you, you! I’m doing this for your own good, yet you spit at me, such a disgrace!"
The procurement minister fled, covering his face, from the steam attack of the [Budget Consultant].
For a moment, only Li Chuchu and Lin Hao were left in the budget consultant’s exclusive office area, surrounded by the sound of abacus clattering.
At first, when she came in, Li Chuchu felt these abacuses were noisy, but now, with only herself and Lin Hao left, she felt a growing inner heat, with a blush emerging on her face.
#Secret Room#
#Being Alone#
#Beautiful Boss#
#...#
Some dirty thoughts suddenly emerged in Li Chuchu’s mind. She glanced at Lin Hao, thinking that if she pounced on Lin Hao for a kiss right now, he probably wouldn’t refuse?
As she contemplated this, a faint red glow appeared deep within Li Chuchu’s eyes.
...Men chasing women is like climbing a mountain; women chasing men is like removing a veil. Today, I’m tearing this veil away!
The faint red glow seemed to stir the deepest desires within Li Chuchu.
...I’m so attractive, my skin so smooth, and you’re ignoring me for a contained object?
Red light like threads emerged from Li Chuchu’s eyes, making her breathing heavier.
...No matter, the brave enjoy the world first!
Just as Li Chuchu was about to pounce on Lin Hao, the [Budget Consultant] unleashed a burst of steam directly onto Li Chuchu’s face.
This steam, however, didn’t cause any discomforting burn, instead directly extracting the red glow from Li Chuchu’s eyes, making her instantly lucid with clear eyes.
The slightly crazy thoughts she just had made Li Chuchu’s face turn red instantly, her brain seeming to steam as she fled like the procurement minister, covering her face.
The red glow extracted from Li Chuchu’s body was invisible to the naked eye, slowly dimming in the air surrounded by the steam of the [Budget Consultant].
But before disappearing, the red glow shot straight toward Lin Hao.
Lin Hao instinctively exerted his magical power, isolating the red glow outside his body.
"What is this?"
Lin Hao frowned slightly; how the red glow appeared in Li Chuchu’s body was completely unknown to him.
It’s worth noting that since entering this secret room, Lin Hao hadn’t restrained his divine thought.
However, this red glow seemed harmless, circling around Lin Hao before dispersing in his palm against the magical power.
Meanwhile, the log updated before Lin Hao’s eyes—
[A fragment of North Road God’s abacus sprayed resentful energy on True Monarch Yuehua’s Red Thread of Fate (tangled state)]
[Red Thread of Fate (tangled state) couldn’t withstand the abacus fragment freshly aided by Residual Pill Ancestor, retreated]
[Red Thread of Fate (tangled state) scratched Residual Pill Ancestor Lin Hao’s palm before retreating]
[Red Thread of Fate (tangled state) presented Residual Pill Ancestor Lin Hao with a local specialty]
The next moment, Lin Hao’s phone in his pocket vibrated constantly; upon checking, there were numerous messages—
"Dear Mr. Lin Hao, congratulations on becoming a black gold VIP at Dynasty Emperor Leisure Club, with a balance of 100,000 yuan on your card..."
"Dear Mr. Lin Hao, congratulations on becoming a five-star VIP at Blue Heaven Club, with a balance of 100,000 yuan on your card..."
"Dear Mr. Lin Hao, congratulations on becoming a Grand Admiral VIP at Haorou Foot Bath, with a balance of 100,000 yuan on your card..."
"..."
Soon, Lin Hao’s message badge showed 99+.
It’s easy to deduce that these messages were closely related to the earlier red glow, supposedly the "local specialty" indicated by the log.
Wow, the local specialty is membership cards to clubs and foot bath places?
This seems quite fitting with River Debris City’s local customs.
However, isn’t the Red Thread of Fate supposed to be a magical artifact controlling the romantic fate of men and women by the matchmaker?
The current scenario feels somewhat odd.
Also, these "local specialties" aren’t something Lin Hao can utilize!
Lin Hao, as a dignified Residual Pill Ancestor and prestigious cultivator, had long abandoned ordinary mortal desires.
Clubs and foot bath places not included in health insurance are not legit; he won’t go.
However, the money in these cards shouldn’t be wasted...
"Hello, I have a deposit at your place, my card still has..."
After making a few calls and negotiating several times, Lin Hao realized that the money on these cards couldn’t be refunded!
As Lin Hao detests waste, he could only find some time to go...
and spend it?
Of course, the primary goal was to explore if "Red Thread of Fate" had any deeper meaning.
Since Red Thread of Fate now offers membership cards instead of matchmaking, it should be related to the "tangled state" noted in the log?
"Ooh~~"
As Lin Hao pondered, the [Budget Consultant] emitted a steam whistle, with the steam lingering around Lin Hao before slowly dissipating—
[Residual Pill Ancestor Lin Hao received "North Road God’s blessing"]
[North Road God’s blessing: Developing business activities in the northern area of a city facilitates prosperity and wealth accumulation]
Guided by the log’s hint, Lin Hao intuitively felt that opening a bubble tea shop in the northern part of River Debris City, even if selling hand-brewed instant coffee, would thrive.
Moreover, it seemed like something was telling him—
"Ignore the dishonest Red Thread of Fate! What does it know about what a successful man needs?
A successful man needs a career that continuously climbs upwards!"
Faced with the [Budget Consultant]’s goodwill, Lin Hao naturally couldn’t keep his attention on his phone, pocketing it, and thanked the [Budget Consultant]:
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Casually reciprocating, Lin Hao passed some merits to the [Budget Consultant].
Invisible golden light roamed on the surface of the [Budget Consultant] and seeped within, gradually quieting the sound of the abacus in the room until the space returned to tranquility.
"Asleep?"
"Hey?"
Seeing no response from the [Budget Consultant], Lin Hao quietly left the area.
After passing multiple reviews, Lin Hao returned to his original location.
Li Chuchu, who had left first, had adjusted her mindset but still bore an unusual look when seeing Lin Hao, not daring to meet his gaze. freewebnoveℓ.com
"Boss, where’s the procurement minister?" frёewebηovel.cѳm
Faced with Lin Hao’s inquiry, Li Chuchu composed herself and gently shook her head.
"When I came out, he was gone."
The conversation wasn’t finished, so why did he disappear?
Lin Hao released his divine thought. Through sensing, the procurement minister was in an office on the top floor, clutching a thick stack of materials from who knows where, nodding and bowing while reporting:
"Captain, I’m confessing, this is last year’s procurement budget. I wasn’t honest in budgeting, miscalculated!
I overestimated some depreciation costs, pleading for the leader’s forgiveness..."
Residual [Budget Consultant] power lingered on the procurement minister, somewhat affecting his mind, making him unable to stop divulging issues with the "accounts."
The man referred to as "Captain" sat formally behind his desk.
This captain, with a stiff upper body, was impressively dignified, but why was he wearing a mini skirt on the lower body?
And standing on platform heels?
What kind of appearance is this?
His attire was shocking to Lin Hao but understandable.
Long live dress freedom!
Soon, Lin Hao’s attention was drawn to the captain’s hands, each adorned with tattoos resembling door panels.
The intricate designs displayed the tattoo artist’s impressive skills.
"This River Debris City, tattoos can even earn a position?"
Of course, these tattoos attracted Lin Hao primarily due to the traces of the Red Thread of Fate’s power upon them.
In his divine sensing, it seemed to be seeking Lin Hao’s assistance!
Having just received local specialties, Lin Hao naturally wouldn’t disregard them once his pants are up.
However, helping should be within one’s capacity.
After all, the opponent was the captain of River Debris City Urban Management Team, nominally the strongest extraordinary!
Li Chuchu and his bubble tea shop were relying on the captain’s endorsement!
Just as Lin Hao intended to continue sensing, the River Debris City Urban Management Team captain seemed to detect something, a bizarre and profound red glow flashed in his eyes, abruptly raising his head:
"Who!"
