26: Normal situation and second entry into the mine

“Children, you look like you’ve been chased by wolves, all flustered and rushed.”

Lin Chen’s grandmother, Luo Zhiyuan, came down from upstairs. She sensed that the trio’s tension was dissipating and guessed they might have encountered something outside.

“Hello, Grandma Luo.”

Lin Fan and Oriental Red Sleeve politely greeted her.

Luo Zhiyuan nodded to them. She knew they were her grandson’s good friends, so she was very friendly and instructed the servant robots to bring snacks, fruit, and the like.

“Grandma, we’re fine, nothing happened. It’s just that our experience was a bit unusual, a bit unreal.”

“Then can you tell Grandma about it? Grandma can analyze it for you.”

Lin Chen first looked at Lin Fan and Oriental Red Sleeve. Neither of them showed any particular reaction, indicating it was fine to talk about it.

So, Lin Chen told Luo Zhiyuan about their experience in the Mine Dungeon.

“?”

Luo Zhiyuan admitted she was truly ignorant.

To acquire treasures worth 570 billion and return safely, even with a smooth journey, was something she had never encountered.

“Children, Grandma has never encountered your situation either, so I can’t give you any advice. However, your gains can be acquired by the Lin Family, and the Lin Family will give you a satisfactory price.”

Lin Fan and Oriental Red Sleeve didn’t mind. The Lin Family certainly wouldn’t treat them unfairly. With the Lin Family’s most favored third-generation grandson selling items, they would definitely get a high price.

Luo Zhiyuan chatted with the three children for a while longer. She also knew she didn’t have much in common with young people, so she eventually found an excuse to go back upstairs for her beauty sleep, leaving the space to the three young people.

The family’s servant robots took the Pokeballs from Lin Fan’s hand and the storage device containing the fourth-tier ore. After the Lin Family’s appraisers provided the appraisal results and value, the money could be directly transferred, completing the transaction.

This wouldn’t take long; the results would be out today via the express channel, showcasing their extravagance.

“Brother Chen, Grandma Luo is so gentle. My grandma is quite temperamental; she’s either fighting or on her way to fight.”

Oriental Red Sleeve complained, envy in her eyes.

Lin Fan also felt that Luo Zhiyuan was very gentle, a kind and amiable elder. Even though he deeply longed for such family affection, he maintained a normal expression, using calmness to mask his restless inner self.

He was an orphan, raised in a federal public orphanage since he could remember. Family and such were not important, not needed.

Speaking of which, Lin Fan had the most potential among the three.

Putting aside various external factors, Lin Fan’s talent was the highest, and his chance of Ascension to God was the greatest.

“Brother Chen, I’m still a bit nervous. Why don’t you ask those Old Seniors if they have any reasonable explanation?”

“You didn’t mention it, and I forgot. I’ll go ask now.”

“Brother Chen, I have to complain, your organization’s name is truly questionable, so absurd.”

“Hahaha, I think so too.”

After the Star Gate incident, Lin Fan and Oriental Red Sleeve had learned about the Old Deng Alliance’s existence from Lin Chen.

They were nothing but envious. Talent that guaranteed God Rank, plus many powerful companions as backing, was simply a chosen start.

[Old Deng Chat Group 1853]

Lin Chen (Fourth-tier Old Deng): @Everyone

Lin Chen (Fourth-tier Old Deng): Blah blah blah (He described his experience in detail. The covenant restrictions were very strong, so the relationship between allies was even closer than with parents and family.)

Red Thread Lord (Old Geezer Ascended to Godhood): !???

Xingchen Daoren (Old Geezer Ascended to Godhood): !???

Frost (Old Geezer Ascended to Godhood): !???

… … …

September (God Rank Oldie)!????

Qian Duoduo (Ninth-tier Old Deng): !????

Gusu City (Demigod Old Deng): !????

… … … …

South District Number One Handsome (Fourth-tier Old Deng): No, buddy, if you play like this, what am I supposed to live for? Your fourth-tier, my fourth-tier, they’re not the same, not the same!

A string of question marks flooded the screen. They didn’t understand, couldn’t understand, feeling a sense of bewildered inexperience.

It wasn’t until South District Number One Handsome, a group member, spoke up, breaking the formation, that new comments appeared. He had thought his connection was lagging a moment ago.

Lin Chen (Fourth-tier Old Deng): You haven’t encountered this situation? No way, all of you are Old Seniors.

September (God Rank Oldie): Little Old Deng, I happen to be on a business trip in the Northern Continent recently. Wait for me, I’ll give you a loving slap in a moment. Who are you being sarcastic to?

Lin Chen (Fourth-tier Old Deng): Big Shot, I was wrong [Knowing the mistake but not correcting it] jpg

Red Thread Lord (Old Geezer Ascended to Godhood): @Lin Chen, Little Old Deng, when you reach Ascension to God tier, I will kick your butt hard, because your message caused me to be caught up. Gotta go, getting beaten.

Red Thread Lord (Old Geezer Ascended to Godhood): Image jpg

Lin Chen (Fourth-tier Old Deng): Lol jpg

Lin Chen (Fourth-tier Old Deng): So, can any Big Shot come forward and explain if this situation is normal? I’m quite nervous.

After joking around, Lin Chen got serious. The Old Seniors were always knowledgeable, and perhaps they knew what was going on.

Red Thread Lord (Old Geezer Ascended to Godhood), who was getting beaten: Eat well, prepare to lie flat.

South District Number One Handsome (Fourth-tier Old Deng): @Lin Chen, take me with you. I’ve been stuck at the fourth-tier for a hundred years. I also want to break through.

… … … …

September (God Rank Oldie): Little Old Deng, I’m here to check your body. It might hurt a bit.

There were no serious replies, because everyone knew that Big Shot September was near Lin Chen. If there were any problems, Big Shot September would solve them. They just needed to be entertained.

In the Lin Family Villa living room, Lin Chen felt a chill down his spine after seeing Big Shot September’s message.

His vision blurred, and he found himself in the starry sky.

“Slap!”

Lin Chen’s butt suffered a heavy blow, and he shot out dozens of meters like a firecracker, then landed with a thud, performing a perfect “Wild Goose Landing on Flat Sand” move.

“Little Fanzi, Dongfang, come help me up. I’m numb, can’t get up.”

Lin Fan and Oriental Red Sleeve could barely suppress their smiles. They clearly saw a blurry figure appear, kick Lin Chen, and then Lin Chen flew out.

As for whether they were on Lin Chen’s side, that could be discussed later. If a God kicked you, you must have a problem. Otherwise, why would a God kick you and no one else?

Lin Fan and Oriental Red Sleeve, covering their mouths, helped Lin Chen up.

“Big Shot, didn’t you say a loving slap? Why did it change to a kick?”

“If I gave you a loving slap, that would be a reward for you, so I can’t let you take advantage.”

“...You’re right.”

“Hehe, Little Old Deng, you’re slightly perverted.”

September took a step back in disgust, but Lin Chen’s lips curled into a smile, his mood quite good.

On the other side, Lin Fan and Oriental Red Sleeve consciously took a step back, looked up at the sky, indicating that they were completely unfamiliar with Lin Chen, just passersby, don’t involve them.

“Big Shot, please examine our bodies to see if anything is wrong.”

September fell silent. After a while, she spoke.

“You have no problems at all. You could say you’re a prime example of surviving a great disaster and having future blessings. It’s just that your luck is slightly too prosperous. Once your luck is consumed to a certain extent, the current situation won’t appear anymore.”

With the Big Shot’s explanation, the three breathed a sigh of relief. No problems meant good news.

“Big Shot, can our luck still support one more smooth adventure?”

“Yes! Get lost, you detestable Children of Luck!”

September got angry, answering the question through gritted teeth.

She didn’t want to see these three lucky dogs and sent them back to where they came from. They were truly an eyesore. When she thought of her own journey, she just wanted to cry.

Back in the living room, the three looked at each other, completely disillusioned with Gods. Gods were also people, powerful people, and their personalities seemed no different from ordinary people.

“Brother Chen, let’s go to the Mine Dungeon again tomorrow.”

“Definitely. Our luck is prosperous, so we should seize the opportunity to easily make money while we can, otherwise, who knows what hardships await us in the future.”

“Dongfang is right. When things reach an extreme, they reverse. After we make this wave of money, we’ll go into seclusion and cultivate, not going anywhere.”

“Dongfang is right. That’s what we should do.”

After discussing some details, Lin Fan and Oriental Red Sleeve bid farewell and left. As for profit sharing, they would discuss it after coming out of the dungeon. By then, with hundreds of billions in hand, they could spend it however they wanted.

Finally, Lin Chen also shared the good news of picking up money again in the group, directly becoming another person who, after Red Thread Lord, must be beaten upon sight, nicknamed the Lucky Dog.

In the Old Deng group, there were almost no Children of Luck. Everyone had cultivated step by step, only advancing tiers when the time was right. Great Accomplishment Late Bloomer was truly late blooming.

East of Blood City, in front of the Mine Dungeon portal.

Lin Chen and the other two exchanged glances and entered without hesitation, fearing they might be a step too slow.

Seven days later, the three walked out of the portal.

Although their dusty appearance wasn’t pretty, they were smiling happily.

“Retreat, my unease is almost overflowing.”

“I have that feeling too, we must run immediately.”

“My bloodline is warning me.”

The three of them had more or less some kind of premonition.

Three and a half hours later, the spaceship landed in Feng City.

A message popped up simultaneously on their wristwatches.

The Mine Dungeon collapsed three hours ago. Fortunately, no casualties were reported. Before the dungeon collapsed, all adventurers who had entered were teleported out.

The three exchanged glances, filled with relief.

If they had been greedy and stayed for another half an hour, they would probably have been buried in the dungeon, directly trapped deep underground.

The dungeon, whose actual name was the Underworld, was located unknown kilometers deep underground. The reason it was discovered was simply because Blue Star naturally manifested a Star Gate connecting the underground and the surface, allowing mutual exchange.

The distance between them was very far, and wanting to access the dungeon in real space was something only Gods could easily do. Below Gods, it was as difficult as Ascension to God.
