90: Handsome and kind-hearted

Near Black Tiger Stronghold.

"San Dao, I'll lead that person away in a moment. Once you see me go far enough, deal with the rest of them. Be careful." Lin Yue whispered to Liu Sandao.

"Understood!" Liu Sandao replied.

Then, as if making a huge decision, Lin Yue stood up and walked towards the Zang Ai Family.

"Who's there!" The leading strongman suddenly asked!

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue steeled himself and walked forward step by step.

"Just strolling around?" Lin Yue asked.

"My boy!" The muscular man exclaimed in surprise, quickly jogging over!

"It really is your boy!" The strongman was overjoyed, then shouted to the hundred or so people behind him: "Come quickly, look at my Lin Jiahui's wonderful son!"

Liu Sandao, hidden in the bushes, saw many bandits surrounding his lord. He couldn't help but grip his great saber, but remembering his lord's words, he forced himself to hold back.

"Come, these are all your uncles." Father Lin introduced, "This is my son, Lin Yue. Handsome, isn't he!"

"Hello, uncles." Lin Yue greeted them with a smile.

"Ah, Zihui, your son takes after you. He's quite a looker!"

"Zihui, this child has a full forehead and a square jaw! He looks like he'll be successful!"

"Zihui, I have a granddaughter..."

"Old Cai, shut up. Your granddaughter looks eighty percent like you, and everyone in the guild knows her temper. How could she be worthy of Zihui's son?" An old man interrupted him, and everyone burst into laughter.

"Old Yi, I'll fight you!"

"Haha, exactly, exactly. This child clearly has a kind heart. Keep your granddaughter to torment someone else."

Everyone laughed together, while Lin Yue felt a bit awkward.

Kind-hearted?

This old man is really good at recognizing people!

"Of course! My son has been handsome and kind-hearted since he was little! So many young girls liked him. I remember when he was in middle school..." Father Lin said with a smile.

"Dad, let's go talk by ourselves for a bit. I haven't seen you in a long time!" Lin Yue quickly interrupted Father Lin.

Father Lin thought about it and agreed, saying to everyone, "You all go ahead. My son works in S City and hasn't been back in a year. I'll spend some time with him."

Then Father Lin ignored them and directly led Lin Yue to a nearby area.

Lin Yue secretly glanced at the bushes, then asked Father Lin, "Dad, why are you here?"

"Just playing, you know. Dad was a rogue in another county, then I met the guild's hall master. He insisted on inviting Dad, and I couldn't refuse him, so I came here with him." Father Lin said with a smile.

"Then why did you change like this?" Lin Yue asked, poking Father Lin's thick arm with his finger.

"You don't even know who your Dad is!" Father Lin laughed heartily, striking a flamboyant pose!

"Speak like a normal person." Lin Yue said, a bit speechless. If he didn't know that this game didn't allow character customization, he would suspect Father Lin had stayed up for several nights to transform himself into a muscular man!

"Hehe, 5418!" Father Lin said.

"What?"

"5418, I was the 5418th player to enter the game, and I received the 'Heavenly Strength' reward!" Father Lin said with a laugh.

"What Heavenly Strength?" Lin Yue deliberately asked.

Father Lin looked left and right, saw a large willow tree nearby, and walked over without a word.

"Dad, where are you going?" Lin Yue asked.

"Watch closely, son. Dad will only show you once!" Father Lin smiled, then took a deep breath, squatted down, and embraced the large willow tree!

Lin Yue felt a bit surreal at this moment. One was his chubby dad who always happily played games with him since he was a child, and the other was a muscular, second-spring-blooming dad who could uproot a willow tree!

He seriously wondered if he was hallucinating!

At this time, Father Lin's forehead was covered in sweat, and his face was a bit red. Then he used all his strength and shouted, "Rise!"

The willow tree burst out of the ground, its roots bringing up some damp soil!

A willow tree that would take two Lin Yues to barely embrace was pulled up by Father Lin!

"Amazing!" Lin Yue was dumbfounded.

Father Lin was very satisfied to see Lin Yue like this. He threw the willow tree aside, and the ground trembled slightly.

Then Father Lin dusted himself off and walked over.

"This is Heavenly Strength. Come, son, didn't you always like me to lift you high when you were little? Dad has strength now!" Father Lin made to lift Lin Yue, who couldn't stop backing away. Only when Lin Yue shook his head like a rattle did Father Lin sigh and give up.

Lin Yue was really curious, so he used the Art of Recognizing People on Father Lin.

[name: Lin Jiahui

Martial Power: 58

Intelligence: 34

Command: 23

Politics: 26

Charm: 78]

Peak Initial-stage Martial General!

Lin Yue suddenly understood. If the Martial Power of a typical Martial General was a combination of strength, cultivation, and martial arts, then Father Lin's was simply off-the-charts strength!

Although he was a bit specialized and at a disadvantage in cultivation and techniques, overwhelming force could overcome many skills. Once Father Lin hit someone, they would either die or be crippled!

"Dad, where's Mom? Has she seen you like this?" Lin Yue asked. Father Lin in his memory had always been chubby, but photos of Father Lin when he was young showed him to be very handsome and dashing. Presumably, Mom would be very happy to see this.

"Sigh, your mom just won't play, no matter how much I persuade her. I sent her screenshots, and she even said I Photoshopped them. I don't get it!" Father Lin shook his head.

"Oh, right, when I go back, I'll tell your mom that I met you in the game. That way, your mom can play with me too!" Father Lin said, then laughed.

"Oh, right, son, what are you doing here?" Father Lin suddenly asked.

"Just strolling!" Lin Yue said with a smile.

He certainly wouldn't dare tell Father Lin that he was secretly waiting here to ambush him. Wouldn't that be turning the tables completely!

"Oh, then come back with me. Those old geezers can call for people as soon as they're hit, but I'm all alone." Father Lin's tone was a bit lonely, then he changed the subject: "When are you going to give me ten or eight grandchildren?"

"Dad, those are children, not pigs, to have ten or eight." Lin Yue smiled helplessly, "Besides, I don't even have a girlfriend yet."

"That's true." Father Lin nodded, then asked, "What about that girl from the Fang family?"

"She's a celebrity now, and we're just friends."

"What's wrong with being a celebrity? Isn't my son more handsome than celebrities? They're all just slick-haired pretty boys." Father Lin said, unconvinced.

"Dad, I see that you're all old men here. Have you thought about where you're going after this?" Lin Yue quickly changed the subject. Otherwise, Father Lin wouldn't stop, because every parent, no matter what they say to others, believes in their heart that their child is the best in the world.

"After this ambush—no, after this, Dad is going to wander the world! This place really has no future." Father Lin said, his face full of longing.

"Dad, here, take this." Lin Yue took out a xuan yuan pill and handed it to Father Lin.

"This one increases aptitude, this one is for healing, and this one is for when you're seriously injured." Lin Yue handed the pills one by one to Father Lin, then asked, "Dad, what level is your cultivation technique?"

"That's enough, son, these are plenty." Father Lin popped the xuan yuan pill into his mouth like a candy and chewed it, then smiled, "It tastes pretty good."

"Dad, what else do you need?" Lin Yue asked.

"Enough, son, what you've given me is enough." Father Lin smiled and put away the few pills, his face full of contentment: "Dad is here to wander the pugilistic world. If you give Dad a max-level account, what's the fun in playing?"

"Dad can tell you don't want to come with me.

Everyone has secrets. You're grown up now, so I won't interfere." Father Lin said with a smile.

"Mhm, mhm." Lin Yue nodded, not knowing what to say.

"Remember, son, if you're unhappy or encounter trouble, come home. It's just a game, nothing major.

The reason Dad has the idea of wandering the pugilistic world is because I know that no matter what I do, your mom will be waiting for me at home.

You're the same." Father Lin said.

"I know." Lin Yue nodded, feeling a strange surge of confidence in his heart.

"Oh, right, son, let's take a picture, you and me! So your mom will believe me." Father Lin said with a smile, selecting the in-game photo function.

"Cheese!"

Father Lin grinned, his left arm around Lin Yue's shoulder, his right hand flexing his muscles, while Lin Yue forced a smile.
