Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 839: Chapter 840 Construction Base

Secretary Zhang excitedly took Lin Chen’s hand: ”Doctor Lin, thank you so much, you really are a Divine Doctor!”

Watching the old man, who was just trembling, now striding energetically, the clinic fell silent.

Zhang Lan was both shocked and delighted, seeing how young Lin Chen looked, she had originally thought Lin Chen was just a quack, but he actually cured her father’s illness.

Elder Mu stood with a dazed expression; he had already diagnosed Secretary Zhang and had been utterly at a loss, never expecting Lin Chen could truly cure the elder.

The contest between the two parties had come to a clear conclusion, with Lin Chen as the complete victor.

Elder Mu sighed: ”Truly, the new waves push the old waves ahead; I admit my defeat.”

Lin Chen smiled faintly: ”Then you must give me your thousand-year ginseng.”

”Alright, since I have lost, I will certainly honor the bet.” Elder Mu said earnestly.

Just as Lin Chen was about to leave, suddenly a young man with delicate features knelt before him with a plop.

Seeing the newcomer, Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly: ”This guy is none other than Li Meng.”

Li Meng, now, no longer carried the proud demeanor he once had; his face was ashen, his body shaking violently.

”Mr. Lin, I beg you to remove the needles, I was wrong, I won’t dare to provoke you again,” Li Meng said earnestly.

Lin Chen smiled faintly: ”Consultations come with a fee, but your visit might be a bit more expensive.”

”Whatever the price, I am willing to pay,” said Li Meng, who was tormented by the silver needles Lin Chen had inserted into his body to the point of wishing for death.

Those few silver needles caused him constant agony, making his whole body shake; he was about to collapse.

Lin Chen pondered for a moment and said lightly: ”Ten million.”

”Ten million!” Li Meng’s face showed an expression of agony.

To think that all the wealth he had accumulated over the years would go to Lin Chen in one fell swoop.

Just then, intense pain surged through his entire body once again, and he could no longer bear it.

”Fine, ten million it is,” Li Meng said, shivering all over.

Lin Chen smiled and gave his bank account information to Li Meng.

With trembling hands, Li Meng transferred ten million into Lin Chen’s account.

Lin Chen nodded, lightly patted Li Meng, and the silver needles that had been stuck in his body zipped out with a whoosh.

”Remember, this is a lesson for you; I hope you won’t provoke me again,” Lin Chen said coldly.

Li Meng saw the silver needles being removed from his body and finally took a deep breath.

He glared resentfully at Lin Chen, full of anger in his heart, yet he dared not show it.

At this moment, Elder Mu’s disciple came out holding a box, presenting the thousand-year ginseng to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen accepted the ginseng, and with a faint smile said to the two: ”Actually, I very much welcome you to challenge me or seek a contest with me, next time I’ll give you a 20% discount.”

Both Elder Mu and Li Meng wore very strange expressions on their faces, staring bitterly at Lin Chen.

Secretary Zhang then said with a smile: ”Young man, I’m so grateful for you saving me, do you have time tonight? I’d like to treat you to a casual meal.”

Lin Chen smiled faintly: ”No need for dinner, a healer is here to treat people, and since I’ve encountered this, there is no gift of not saving.”

Hearing Lin Chen’s words, Secretary Zhang gave an awkward smile; he had never been refused by someone he invited to dinner, and Lin Chen was the first to turn him down.

Hearing Lin Chen actually declined Secretary Zhang’s dinner invitation, both Zhang Lan and the head of the health bureau wore incredibly odd expressions on their faces.

To know that others can only dream of dining with Secretary Zhang, yet Lin Chen actually declined Secretary Zhang’s proactive invitation.

Secretary Zhang took out a business card and handed it to Lin Chen: ”Mr. Lin, this is my card, please feel free to call me anytime if you need anything.”

Lin Chen accepted the business card and also shared his phone number with Secretary Zhang: ”If you ever need anything in the future, just give me a call.”

Secretary Zhang carefully noted down the phone number, for in his heart, he had already placed Lin Chen among the ranks of revered hermits.

Through this medical visit, Lin Chen could be said to have fought a magnificent battle on behalf of Bai Cao Tang, retrieving many lost clients back to Bai Cao Tang.

In the office, Yue Qun slammed the desk angrily upon hearing the elder Mu describe what had happened.

”Lin Chen, even if you saved Bai Cao Tang, so what? I will make sure your Xingchen Group goes bankrupt.”

After saying goodbye to the Mu father and son, Lin Chen drove to the Xingchen base.

The entire Xingchen base had completely changed; the Xingchen Hospital building was completed, and behind the hospital was a large planting area, with private villas not far away also nearing completion.

What satisfied Lin Chen the most was that the planting area was now fully operational.

This piece of land covered several hundred acres, but the soil was mostly saline-alkaline.

For such a large expanse of land, Lin Chen could only activate the Spirit Gathering Array with Formation to transform this useless saline-alkaline land into fertile soil.

However, activating the Spirit Gathering Array required a large amount of Spiritual Energy, but where to find so much material containing Spiritual Energy?

Lin Chen soon thought of jade, which has been buried underground for years, absorbing the essence of the earth, and is one of the things most imbued with Spiritual Power on the planet.

With the idea in mind, Lin Chen decided to gamble on stones.

Having the special ability to see through objects, it would be a waste not to use it for stone gambling.

Lin Chen dialed Wang Zixuan’s cellphone: ”Zixuan, is there a large stone gambling place in Zhonghai City?”

”You want to gamble stones? Lin Chen, stone gambling can be very risky; many have become addicted and even ended with broken families and lost lives,” Wang Zixuan said.

Lin Chen gave a faint smile: ”Don’t worry, I know my limits.”

”There are two major stone gambling venues in Zhonghai. One is owned by our Wang family, and the other is our competitor—the Peng family’s Jinyu Stone Gambling Venue. How about this, if you want to gamble stones, you can try our own venue, I can give you a discount,” Wang Zixuan suggested with a laugh.

Lin Chen replied: ”No need for that, I’ll go to that of our competitor.”

After all, with Lin Chen’s ability to see through objects, gambling stones would be like having a cheat; he does not like to swindle his own people.

”Alright then, let me know when you’re going, I’ll accompany you to prevent you from losing money,” Wang Zixuan joked with a laugh.

Losing money? Lin Chen smiled faintly, guessing the Peng family would likely be crying this time.

The two agreed on a time, and Lin Chen drove straight to the Jinyu Department Store.

This jade department store specialized in jade wares. The first floor sold various accessories, while the second floor was dedicated to jade stones.

Lin Chen headed straight for the second floor, where Wang Zixuan was already at the door, waving at him.

Wang Zixuan looked at Lin Chen in puzzlement and asked: ”How did you think of gambling stones?”

Lin Chen answered indifferently: ”I need a large batch of jade stones, so I came to try my luck.”

”Try your luck? Lin Chen, I advise you to forget it; relying on luck is not going to work with stone gambling,” Wang Zixuan cautioned.

”Haha, my luck has always been good, don’t worry!” With a faint smile, Lin Chen walked into the raw stone hall.

They had just taken a few steps out when a cold and sneering voice rang out: ”Oh, isn’t this Miss Wang? What brings you to our Jinyu Department Store?”
