Chapter 299 Lin Fan, an Ordinary Person, Enjoys a Leisurely Day
The world has been turned upside down because of him.
The old hegemony has collapsed. A new order is being established.
Countless politicians, generals, and tycoons racked their brains and lost sleep over the "rules" he casually set.
Lin Fan, the instigator of all this, is currently doing something completely unrelated to this magnificent era.
He was there, feeding the birds.
Under the locust tree in the courtyard, Lin Fan lay on his familiar rocking chair, holding a small bag of grains in his hand, and slowly scattering them on the ground.
A few bold sparrows landed not far away, tilting their heads and looking at him curiously, chirping and chattering, but not daring to approach easily.
In the courtyard, the old radio was still playing its creaking tune.
"I was originally a carefree man from Wolonggang, relying on the principles of Yin and Yang to stabilize the world..."
Leisurely and comfortable.
It was as if everything outside was merely the background music to this Peking Opera performance.
He just finished checking in for today.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in at the 'Qi Yun Courtyard'!]
[Reward received: "The Great Array of the Celestial Stars" (Fragment 1)!]
A vast and profound array of information flooded into his mind. It was a supreme method that used stars as a foundation, drew upon the power of the universe, and constructed an unparalleled killing array.
Even if it is a fragment, the mysteries it contains are enough to make any master of formations ecstatic.
But Lin Fan simply silently absorbed this insight into the depths of his mind, without immediately delving into it.
Not in a hurry.
You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to go step by step.
What he enjoys now is this ordinary, leisurely life.
"Xiao Fan! Xiao Fan! Have you read the newspaper?"
The courtyard gate was pushed open, and Grandpa Wang from next door rushed in excitedly, holding a copy of the Beijing Evening News.
His face was flushed, and he was as excited as a child.
"Look, look! It's on the front page! The Americans apologized! That Secretary of State, right here in Beijing, bowed and admitted his mistake to the whole world! Wow, I've lived for over seventy years and I've never seen anything so exciting!"
Grandpa Wang shoved the newspaper into Lin Fan's hand, pointed to the large photo of Blinken bowing, and began to speak animatedly.
"The newspapers say it's all because of our country's 'National Body Strengthening Technique,' it's so powerful! It scared the Americans half to death! Isn't that amazing? The things our ancestors passed down are truly incredible!"
Lin Fan looked at the newspaper and smiled.
"Really? That's wonderful news." He put down his newspaper, pointed to the teapot on the stone table, and said, "Uncle Wang, don't just talk, come and have some tea. It's freshly brewed pre-Qingming Longjing tea."
"Okay, sure!"
Grandpa Wang didn't stand on ceremony. He plopped down, poured himself a large glass, and gulped it down in one go.
"Ah! That feels so good!"
He wiped his mouth and started talking again about the everyday life of people in the alley.
"By the way, Xiao Fan, have you heard? Old Li's wife over there on the east side, she had a herniated disc a couple of days ago and couldn't get out of bed, right? So she practiced that body-refining technique she saw on TV for three days, and guess what? This morning, I saw her, and she was able to go downstairs for a walk all by herself!"
"And another thing, Grandma Zhang's old tabby cat over there on the west side, it's been listless lately and hasn't been catching mice anymore. So every day, Grandma Zhang grinds up that 'spiritual rice' that our Divine Chef's Temple sells and feeds it some. Hey! You know what, now that cat's up to no good, climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles, it's even more mischievous than when it was young!"
Lin Fan listened to Grandpa Wang's ramblings, a gentle smile always on his face.
He liked this feeling.
The world is vast.
There are battles between gods and demons, interstellar wars, and the rise and fall of civilizations.
But the world is also very small.
On a small scale, it's just a small corner of this courtyard house, a cup of tea, and a few words of casual conversation between neighbors.
He is the mastermind behind the scenes who stirred up the storm.
Lin Fan, an ordinary person, is also enjoying the peaceful and serene life.
He enjoyed it.
"By the way, Xiao Fan, our neighborhood is holding a chess tournament next week. Are you going to participate? Let me tell you, my chess skills are second to none in this area!" Grandpa Wang challenged him with a smug look on his face.
"Sure," Lin Fan agreed with a smile. "I'll definitely learn a few tricks from you then."
After seeing off the satisfied Grandpa Wang, Lin Fan lay back down in the rocking chair.
He stretched, feeling a pleasant, soft cracking sound emanating from every bone in his body.
He was silently making plans in his heart.
"The Americans have already bowed their heads. Those opportunists in Europe will probably follow soon. The framework of Kunlun and the Divine Chef's Hall has been set up. The merit system has also begun to operate globally."
"On Fang Qingxue's side, the rules of the game in the Sky Dome Martial Alliance, under Jian Wuchen's 'enforcement,' have initially begun to get on the right track."
"Earth Online, version 1.0 'The Establishment of a New Order' is basically complete."
"Next, it's time to update to version 2.0."
Lin Fan raised his gaze slightly, as if piercing through the locust tree in the courtyard, piercing through the atmosphere above the capital, and seeing that deep and boundless universe.
"We've almost finished the quests in the newbie village. We need to find some decent monsters for these players who just got their 'newbie gear' to grind for levels."
He could sense that deep within the universe, some malicious eyes were peering at this vibrant blue planet.
That battle with the Zerg underground in Antarctica was nothing more than a trivial appetizer.
The real feast has not yet begun.
We need to put some pressure on them.
Lin Fan closed his eyes, and his consciousness sank into that endless sea of stars.
"It's time to let the world know what a 'world event' really is."
He was talking to himself in his heart.
"The first global PvE event..."
"Let's call it 'Natural Disaster Invasion'."
A subtle, almost imperceptible curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It's as if a mischievous planner is preparing to add new challenges to his game.
"I hope my dear players can bring me a little surprise."
