30: Chapter 30 The Utter Fall, The Merciful Magician
【Evacuation Countdown: 00:03:02】
Looking down at the dense crowd of various people, Lin Fang smiled and stopped hiding his intentions, then said:
"In mythology, Icarus fell into the sea as his wings melted while chasing the sun. Does anyone know what his outcome was?"
"Death!"
A young man wearing glasses in the crowd answered the question.
"Very good,"
Lin Fang clapped in praise and continued: "Icarus died because he fell from too high. Will it be the same for us if we fall from the deck of this aircraft carrier, 16 meters above the sea?"
The hoarse, weathered voice spread across the deck of the aircraft carrier Senvancal via the headset microphone.
The crowd paused for a moment, then a girl waved her hand and laughed:
"What? Mr. Magician, are you going to throw us off the deck one by one? That will keep you busy."
"I suspect this con artist wants us to jump ourselves."
"How interesting, I can't wait. Start already!"
"This life jacket is so ugly. I hope to see an interesting magic show..."
Facing the noisy crowd, Lin Fang paced slowly on the box. A moment later, he waved his hand and grinned, "No, no, no, you are all wrong. My magic show is to make this aircraft carrier disappear. Let us enjoy the fall together!"
"..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole crowd burst into laughter.
Alvin, who was below, clapped and said: "Mr. Murray Hawthorne, and you say you aren't a comedian."
"Perhaps,"
At this moment, the white man standing on the box waved his hand, his smile turning cold, "Then no more nonsense. The performance begins, let us start the countdown."
"5,"
"4,"
"3,"
The crowd quieted down. They suddenly had a bad premonition because, with the countdown, the man's expression was now too terrifying, like a demon wearing human skin.
The photographer's fingers trembled as he looked at the figure in the lens. How could this be? It must be a bluff.
"1,"
As the evacuation countdown hit zero, Lin Fang smiled at the crowd below and spat out the last number.
"Good luck."
The white man on the stage suddenly spread his arms and fell backward.
Simultaneously, the aircraft carrier Senvancal beneath everyone's feet suddenly vanished!
Those watching, those steering, those operating, those on lookout, those mating... nearly 6,000 personnel on the entire aircraft carrier suddenly appeared naked in mid-air!
Was it a hallucination? The crowd blinked.
Then, an unprecedented scream of terror erupted among them.
"Ahhhhh—"
Alvin screamed as he fell toward the sea. The microphone he was holding was gone.
The sea surface was getting closer and closer. The seawater was bone-chillingly cold!

【Evacuation of Venom Dimension successful, obtained supplies: Nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Senvancal】
【Venom Dimension weight increased, current weight: 17%】
In the room, Lin Fang sipped milk, looking at the information on the Black Watch with a joyful face. After this evacuation, the Venom Dimension weight had actually increased by 10%!
No wonder. Except for the life jackets, he hadn't left a single hair behind. The most important thing next was how many plunder points this aircraft carrier was worth.
【Black Star at your service】
【Please confirm the transaction. Selling the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Senvancal will grant 648 plunder points】
Hmm...
A nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is only worth 648?
But having had the Black Watch for so long, this was the first time Lin Fang had seen such a high price.
Keep or sell?
Manifesting it was impossible. Not to mention where to put it, if even a whisper of news got out, agents from all over the world would come knocking to reward him.
Lin Fang chose to sell.
"Little Black, how is it on Xu Anqing's side?"
Finally receiving a payment, Lin Fang felt much happier.
【Boss, no anomalies. All of Xu Anqing's actions are under surveillance】
Lin Fang raised an eyebrow: "I'm asking about the company's development."
Why would he monitor his employees?
...
Looking at the photos of the company that had taken on a new look over the past few days, Lin Fang nodded in satisfaction. Not bad, this fresh and bright decoration style suited his taste.
Looking at the talent recruitment plan Xu Anqing sent him, for the company's first team, Xu Anqing planned to establish only four departments: Customer Service, Technology, HR, and Finance. Early promotion and planning were handled by the Technology Department.
Adding up to less than 30 people, with Customer Service making up the bulk.
Lin Fang replied to her message: "Well done, thank you for your hard work."
In a small office building on the outskirts of Coastal Sea, the sign "Third-Party Biotechnology" was hung in the most prominent place.
Xu Anqing, whose fair, oval face looked quite haggard, was busy hacking into the databases of major headhunting firms. When she saw that avatar pop up on her phone, she almost burst into tears.
Who has ever seen a boss who doesn't reply to messages for days? She had now. She even thought her boss had been taken away by National Security.
Having prepared herself to be arrested as an accomplice, Xu Anqing hurriedly dialed the phone.
The first month's salary hadn't even been paid; she couldn't let him run away.
"..."
"Add a 10,000 yuan bonus this month. For subsequent hiring, I have only one requirement: character. Our company is a company that develops healthily; we do not accept people with poor character."
"Okay," Xu Anqing recorded this sentence emphatically in her workbook. For some reason, she felt a bit guilty.
This must be an illusion.

After hanging up, Lin Fang pondered in front of the computer and finally typed the words "Application for Suspension of Schooling" on a blank document.
According to the date, he was supposed to return to school tomorrow, but he didn't have that much time to waste at school. Suspension was imperative. In the traditional education of the Central Continent, this was considered deviant.
The school had to be responsible for its students, so the reason for the application had to be legitimate and reasonable. Lin Fang smiled and continued typing on the document.
The school couldn't possibly stop me from chasing my dreams.
