194: Wang Qingxuan's Little Thoughts

Lin Yu: "..."

Three business days?

By then, it will be too late.

He even had an absurd thought: Should he call the Old Ghost and ask him to figure something out?

A dignified Black Market Alchemist, with connections reaching the heavens, getting a tiny library card shouldn't be hard, right?

Or Li Mo?

But maybe not... In the end, who would even care about this thing?!

How about just snatching it back?

...It wasn't impossible, but it would sound incredibly low-class if word got out.

Just then.

A fair hand reached out from the side and gently pushed him away.

"Boss, step aside, let me handle this."

Wang Qingxuan walked forward, a confident smile on her face.

She pulled a card out of her exquisite small handbag.

The card was jet black, possessing an exceptional texture. The front displayed a dazzling starry sky pattern, and the back featured a small character reading "Wang."

She handed the card to the administrator auntie.

The administrator auntie had been about to say something, but the moment she saw the card, she froze.

She picked up the card and placed it on the scanner.

"Beep!"

A crisp confirmation sound rang out.

The administrator auntie's attitude underwent a complete 180-degree change.

She immediately stood up, her face beaming with a kind smile, even carrying a hint of deference.

"So it is Miss Wang. You are our library's highest-level honorary member. According to regulations, you may borrow one hundred books at once, including some non-public collection materials, with no return deadline."

Wang Qingxuan lifted her chin, like a proud peacock.

She glanced back at Lin Yu and mouthed two words silently.

"Professional."

Then, she turned her head back and waved her hand casually at the mountain of books.

"I'll borrow all of these."

The subsequent process was incredibly smooth.

The administrator auntie even personally came out from behind the counter to help find several large reusable bags and packed all the books one by one.

When the two walked out of the library entrance, they were carrying four or five heavy large bags.

The sky outside was already somewhat dim.

Lin Yu looked at the triumphant Wang Qingxuan beside him, feeling genuinely surprised.

"You like reading books very much?"

He asked the question that had been bothering him the entire way.

"Huh?" Wang Qingxuan looked as if she had heard the world's biggest joke. "Me? Reading? Boss, don't kid around. Anything with too many words gives me a headache."

"Then your card..."

"Oh, this?" Wang Qingxuan shook the black card in her hand. "They practically forced it on my dad when he donated the building. He said he had no use for it, so he just tossed it to me."

Lin Yu: "..."

What a casual way to say "tossed it to her."

"But you don't need to carry it around all the time."

Lin Yu asked casually.

Wang Qingxuan looked awkward and glossed over it with the excuse that it was "universal."

This card was mostly used for things like foot massages, beauty treatments, and entertainment clubs. The library was truly a first.

"However, I've recently changed my mind."

She looked at Lin Yu, her bright eyes flashing with undisguised ambition and desire.

"As long as it helps me become stronger, even boring things like reading books, I can tolerate it!"

She spoke with absolute certainty.

This woman's craving for power had reached a level of obsession.

And precisely because of this, she was exceptionally useful.

Just then.

The phone in Lin Yu's pocket vibrated softly.

He took out his phone. The screen displayed a new message from Lin Yao.

"Bro, the party is almost over. Get ready to pick me up."

Lin Yu put away his phone, his movements unhurried.

Wang Qingxuan immediately leaned in. She had temporarily placed the pile of books at her feet, showing not a hint of a pampered young lady's airs.

"Boss, new instructions?"

She asked extremely naturally, as if she had been an assistant for ten years.

Lin Yu glanced at her, shifted the several large bags of books into one hand, leaving the other hand free.

"That's finished. I'm going to pick someone up."

"Who are you picking up?" Wang Qingxuan's curiosity was piqued. "Do you need my help? For example... clearing the venue or something?"

She was clearly still immersed in the simple, crude logic of the Black Market.

Lin Yu found it slightly amusing.

"Picking up my younger sister, Lin Yao."

"Lin Yao?"

Wang Qingxuan repeated the name, not registering it at first.

But the next second, she looked as if she had been struck by an electric current.

Lin Yao!

Lin Yu's younger sister! The girl who was the same age as her and had also awakened a Mythical-grade profession!

A thought instantly exploded in her mind.

Last time, her father Wang Han said he was going to prepare gifts for the Lin Yu siblings, but because of the sudden incident at the Black Market, the matter was spoiled, and the gifts hadn't even materialized.

Wasn't this the perfect opportunity to make amends!

Wang Qingxuan's mind raced.

Lin Yu himself was powerful, mysterious, and unfathomable. Trying to get close to him directly was too difficult, practically starting on Hell Mode. Her little schemes would likely be completely transparent to him.

Forcing herself to curry favor might backfire.

But his younger sister was different!

She could tell from the previous phone call that Lin Yu truly doted on his younger sister.

In that case, the strategy was clear.

Winning over his younger sister was equivalent to indirectly winning him over!

This was simply a broad road leading straight to Rome!

Wang Qingxuan's thoughts became animated, almost undisguised.

She looked at Lin Yu, her face instantly filled with a smile even brighter and more genuine than the one she had shown the library administrator earlier.

"Boss! I'll drive you!"

She patted her chest, volunteering immediately.

Lin Yu didn't speak, just looked at her calmly.

Wang Qingxuan's little calculations couldn't fool him at all.

Even without the Eye of Analysis, this mixture of ambition, shrewdness, and eagerness, which was practically written on her face, was too obvious.

However... this was quite good.

He had no reason to refuse.

"Let's go."

Lin Yu uttered two words, signifying his agreement.

"Alright!"

Wang Qingxuan instantly beamed with joy and eagerly tried to help Lin Yu carry the bags of books, but seeing Lin Yu single-handedly lifting dozens of pounds as if they were bags of cotton, she wisely retracted her hand.

This time, Wang Qingxuan didn't call a driver but headed directly to the underground parking garage.

A fiery red, sleek, and aggressively styled four-seater sports car was parked quietly in the spot.

Just looking at it, one could feel the exorbitant price.

Lin Yu clicked his tongue internally. Wang Qingxuan hadn't known they were coming to the library beforehand. Could this young lady possibly have one of these things stashed in every major underground parking garage in Linzhou City?

Wang Qingxuan pressed the key, the car lights flashed, and an pleasant chirp sounded.

She pulled open the car door, but instead of immediately letting Lin Yu get in, she sat down in the driver's seat first and then made a phone call right in front of him.

Young girls' hearts are always spring; this wasn't referring to Wang Qingxuan, but Lin Yao.

Since they were roughly the same age, Wang Qingxuan asked herself what kind of gift she would want, and that's the kind of gift she would give Lin Yao.

Furthermore, it had to be something Lin Yu couldn't provide.

Wang Qingxuan glanced at Lin Yu in the back seat through the rearview mirror, and a plan formed in her mind.
