91: Their own sorrow

"Son, it's time. Your dad has to go back quickly. Your mom is still calling me back for dinner!" Father Lin said anxiously, "You know your mom's personality."

"Go, Dad." Lin Yue said with a smile, showing understanding.

"Alright, Virtuous Brother Lin, stop here. We'll meet again in the martial world; we are destined to reunite!" Father Lin said, cupping his hands in a theatrical manner.

"Brother Lin, have a good journey! May Brother Lin achieve ascension in the martial world!" Lin Yue said, forcing himself to cup his hands despite his discomfort, two black lines appearing on his forehead.

Father Lin nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, then turned around and left, looking very dashing!

Lin Yue watched Father Lin's retreating figure, filled with emotion.

Meanwhile, Father Lin returned to the previous location, but everyone was gone.

"Where did these old guys run off to?" Father Lin wondered, then called out in the guild chat, but no one responded for a long time.

"How strange!" Father Lin shook his head and said, "No, these old guys are too disorganized and undisciplined. There's no future for them. It seems my dream of wandering the martial world will have to start sooner."

He then returned to the camp, and looking up, saw blood everywhere. An alarm blared in Father Lin's heart, and he immediately ducked to the side. He waited for a long time but heard no movement.

He scratched his head, thought for a long time, and finally cautiously entered to check. He searched for a long time but found the entire camp deserted.

"Attacked?" Father Lin was a bit puzzled.

"Never mind, I won't bother with it. My wife is still waiting for me to come home for dinner." Father Lin shook his head and returned to his room, choosing to log out of the game at the residence.

"Phew!" Father Lin opened his eyes, pressed the button, and emerged from the gaming pod.

"It smells so good, wife! What are you making?" Father Lin walked towards the kitchen with a smile.

"Old Lin, you're out! I was just about to call you for dinner. Go wash your hands quickly, it'll be ready soon!" Mother Lin said with a smile.

Father Lin hugged Mother Lin from behind and whispered in her ear, "Wife, what are you making that smells so good?"

"Get off, I'm stir-frying. I made you large intestines." Mother Lin said.

Father Lin's expression changed, then he cautiously asked, "Did you clean them thoroughly?"

"Of course, I cleaned them thoroughly. Don't you believe me? Want to try some?" Mother Lin said with a smile.

Father Lin was speechless for a moment, then asked, "Are there any other dishes?"

"Eat if you want, or make your own if you don't!" Mother Lin rolled her eyes at him.

"Don't be angry, wife. Oh, by the way, guess who I saw in the game just now?" Father Lin quickly changed the subject.

"Looking so pleased with yourself, did you see your old flame?" Mother Lin said, annoyed.

"What are you talking about? I saw our son!" Father Lin said with a smile.

"What?" Mother Lin turned around excitedly, surprised.

Father Lin reached out and turned off the stove, then showed his wife a photo of himself and his son.

"Who is this? Don't try to fool me, our son is much more handsome than this!" Mother Lin said, annoyed, as she scooped the large intestines onto a plate and carried it to the table.

"How can that be?" Father Lin looked at the photo in confusion, "Who is this? I clearly took it with my son!"

He then repeatedly looked at the photo, saying in great puzzlement, "Why does this person look so familiar?"

"Dinner!" Mother Lin called out.

"Wife, really, you have to believe me..."

"Believe you, my foot! I've been fooled by you for half my life, don't try to fool me now, I'm not playing games!"

...Meanwhile, in another villa.

Over forty people stood up almost simultaneously.

"Oh my, you scared me to death! I thought it was a mass reanimation!" The girl with wavy hair patted her chest, clearly very startled.

"Child, what are you saying during the New Year!" The old grandmother next to her gently patted her twice.

"Sigh, let's eat." Kang Yong sighed.

"Grandpa, I'll help you up."

"Sigh..." Everyone sighed. They had suffered heavy losses just now and hadn't expected to lose so badly.

"What's wrong, Dad?" A gray-haired woman asked curiously, "Lost? If you lost, that's fine, come eat. We're waiting for you all!"

"Sigh, let's eat, let's eat." Seeing the scene of his children and grandchildren gathered before him, Kang Yong felt much better and said, "Everyone, go eat. Our Old Kang family has never known the word 'give up'. Hurry and eat, and we'll get revenge after we're full!"

"Alright! Let's eat, let's eat!" Seeing the old master like this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief...

"My Lord, all one hundred and five people, not a single one escaped. This humble general dealt with them all." Liu Sandao said.

"You've worked hard." Lin Yue said with a smile, "Are there any storage bags or heads?"

"No heads, This humble general confiscated fifty storage bags." Liu Sandao said.

"That'll do. Let's return to Black Tiger Stronghold." Lin Yue said.

Currently, the Government only recognizes three ways to earn merit: captives, heads, and storage bags.

Other players who are not first-time deaths, unless captured, simply cannot count as merit.

He also wondered how many people Wang Hu and the others could capture, and if they could gather ten thousand merit points.

The two walked back to the camp, and soon after, Wang Hu, Hou Da, and the others also returned.

"My Lord!"

"How did it go?"

"This humble general did not fail in his mission!" Wang Hu and Hou Da said with a smile.

"With the help of Brother Hou Da, This humble general successfully breached the camp and killed three thousand four hundred enemies!" Wang Hu said with a smile.

"No captives?" Lin Yue asked.

Wang Hu shook his head and said, "Those old guys were very resolute, preferring to fight to the death rather than surrender."

"How many storage bags were seized?"

"Over twelve hundred." Wang Hu said.

Each storage bag is worth ten merit points, plus his own nine thousand-plus merit points, it should be enough.

"Alright, Feng Cai!" Lin Yue called out.

"My Lord, this old man is here." Feng Cai said with a smile.

"I have 9573 merit points, all recorded. Go exchange these storage bags for merit points as well, to gather twenty thousand merit points to exchange for the Intermediate Barracks. As for the remaining storage bags, you can distribute them among the Brothers." Lin Yue said.

Storage bags only have a volume of one cubic meter, which was useless to him.

"Yes, My Lord!" Feng Cai responded.

"Wang Hu, you guessed correctly. There was indeed a team of about a hundred bandits, but San Dao dealt with them."

"Actually, it wasn't This humble general who guessed it, but my subordinates Ergou and Huang Liu." Wang Hu said with a smile, "Then This humble general will go deal with him."

"I'll go with you." Lin Yue said with a smile. He also wanted to see what kind of person could be an undercover agent.

When they arrived, looking at the old man tied with ropes, Huang Liu directly splashed a basin of cold water to wake him up, and the old man groaned and wailed.

Lin Yue found that the undercover agent was indeed unremarkable. If he didn't know, Lin Yue would believe that the old man in front of him was a bun seller.

"Undercover agent?" Huang Liu asked in a cold tone.

"I'm not! I'm just a bun seller!" Old Shen Tou shook his head and said.

Lin Yue was stunned. Was he really a bun seller?

Then he heard Huang Liu say with a smile, "Do you know how I found you?"

Old Shen Tou shook his head, looking bewildered, "I'm really not an undercover agent."

"Still pretending? Every time I go to your place for buns, I get ambushed when I leave!

How could it be such a coincidence?" Huang Liu said with a sinister smile, "Until today, when Brother Ergou and I set up a trap, I didn't expect you to walk right into it!"

Hearing this, Old Shen Tou no longer denied it, only saying, "Can you give me a quick death?"

"You wish!" Huang Liu said, "And all your old buddies, we've slaughtered them all too!"

Old Shen Tou suddenly laughed:

"I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean!

I am an undercover agent, but I'm not targeting you, but everyone in your stronghold!"
