Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 386: 145, what a surprise! Lin Mo and Chen Shanhe met in the elevator! _8

[The money is concentrated in my hands so that I can build schools, run businesses, solve employment issues, and seek welfare for the people. Haven’t I done enough good in Rakshasa City over these years?]

On this matter, he hadn’t lied; a considerable part of Chen Shanhe’s income went to charity, and he had never defaulted on a cent of taxes.

Lin Mo’s lips curled with cold laughter, no longer wanting to listen to Chen Shanhe’s twisted arguments: [Elder Mr. Chen, you truly are one of a kind. I’ll repeat it once more, the Abyss does not like friends like you, and there is no possibility of reconciliation between us.]

[You’d better enjoy your remaining days, however few they are. Who knows when they might come to an end.]

Chen Shanhe retorted, [Mr. Abyss, I could say the same to you. Who knows, maybe you will end up in hell sooner than this old man.]

Lin Mo did not pick up on that remark.

He simply hung up the phone.

He and Chen Shanhe were locked in a life and death struggle; exchanging such verbal jabs over the phone was meaningless.

“Competing with me…”

“I have the system, do you?”

Lin Mo smiled playfully, his gaze fixed on the world outside the window.

With the system, Lin Mo was like a player with cheats enabled. Even if you were a formidable pay-to-win gamer, facing the hacks that could break the rules, defeat was inevitable!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“But…”

“Judging by the old man’s tone, he seems not the slightest bit flustered and even appears confident.”

“A true old fox indeed. It seems things really aren’t that simple…”

Lin Mo frowned slightly.

Meanwhile, just above Lin Mo’s head, Chen Shanhe also stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, gazing into the distance.

Both were unaware of each other.

A moment later, Lin Mo glanced at the time; it was already 11 PM and his plane ticket was for nine o’clock the next morning.

“Phew…”

“Tonight, I’ll sleep well. Tomorrow morning, I still need to buy a duck egg for my daughter!”

“It’s just that I don’t know if the Intelligence System will be able to provide Chen Shanhe’s exact location tonight. If it could…”

“Forget it, I’ll talk about it when I really get it.”

Lin Mo stretched lazily, snuffed out the little that was left of his cigarette, and then turned to enter his room.

Li Jinwen hadn’t slept yet and asked from the bed as she saw him, “All done?”

“Yeah, I’m going to take a shower,” Lin Mo said and walked into the bathroom.

About half an hour later, Lin Mo, now in pajamas, lay down on the comfortable big bed.

Li Jinwen rested her head on his arm and asked softly, “Were you nervous during the live broadcast today, husband?”

“I’ll tell you, I was almost nervous to death; over a hundred million people, eh? I have never seen so many bullet comments; they were so dense, I couldn’t even see the screen clearly.”

“Of course, I was nervous. You didn’t see how my hands were trembling, it was really scary. If only we could use this popularity to sell products, that would be just great.” Lin Mo’s nervousness wasn’t about how many people would flood into the live stream, but whether it would achieve the anticipated results.

Lin Mo was jesting; with his current abilities, plus the Intelligence System, he didn’t value the money from product endorsements.

Taking a deep breath full of anticipation, Li Jinwen said, “Husband, once this is all over, what do you most want to do?”

With a smile, Lin Mo replied, “Have kids, several more of them.”

“What?” Li Jinwen’s face was covered in black lines.

“Haha, just joking, having Xiaoxiao and Lin Xi is enough.” Lin Mo rested one hand behind his head, staring at the ceiling, and indulged in future plans.

For the past six months, he had been constantly engaged in a battle of wits and bravery against Chen Shanhe; how could he have had any time to think about the future?

Even though he had earned a lot of money, countless money, more money than he could ever spend, he didn’t feel too joyous about it.

Because every time he felt he could relax a bit, Chen Shanhe would appear like maggots at the bottom of one’s feet.

After thinking for a while, Lin Mo shook his head with a mix of helplessness, “I really don’t know what to do in the future.”

“When I was poor, I thought about earning more money every day; later, it was all about how to bring down Chen Shanhe.”

“If Chen Shanhe really does fall one day, and we don’t lack money, what should we do then?”

Lin Mo had always found the talk of the rich about emptiness, loneliness, and coldness to be pretentious, but now that it was his turn, it seemed quite lonely indeed.

Life had lost its pursuit.

Turning the question back, Lin Mo asked, “What about you, wife, what do you want to do in the future?”

“Me?” Li Jinwen had a clear plan, counting on her fingers, “I want to travel the world, see sceneries I’ve never seen before, play from Antarctica to the Arctic, and take lots and lots of pictures.”

“I also want to spend more time with Xiaoxiao and Lin Xi, watching them grow up, little by little, into adults.”

“Moreover, I heard while abroad that there are now travel projects to outer space. I want my daughter to be able to fulfill her dreams in the future.”

“After all, we lied to her half a year ago, saying that participating in a program could take her to the International Space Station after one year.”

“And also…”

Li Jinwen listed her future plans one by one.

Lin Mo didn’t speak and just quietly rested his head, listening to his wife tell each one.

Suddenly, he felt that his future was not going to be idle; completing his wife’s dreams alone might take a lifetime.

[Ding.]

Just as Li Jinwen was speaking and on the verge of falling asleep, the pleasant notification tone of the system rang out.

[Today’s intelligence has been refreshed.]
