Section 122

"[Hahaha... He couldn't possibly pull a ballpoint pen out of his pocket and insist it's a scythe, right? Hahaha...]"

"Pfft——————"

The tea in Director Chu Yun's mouth exploded outward.

It even spanned directly across the stage!

Spraying scattered tea leaves onto the face of General Mike opposite him!

This force! This range was enough to show just how shocked he was.

Because he really broke down!

He never expected that... Lin Xian... he actually! Pulled a ballpoint pen out of his pocket!

Then, with a calm and lighthearted smile, he said: "This is what I invented—the [Portable Laser Scythe]!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Seeing what Lin Xian pulled out of his pocket... the online livestream chat exploded.

What the hell!? Wasn't the product name supposed to be a scythe!? Why did he bring out a ballpoint pen instead!?

Everyone couldn't believe their eyes... and hurriedly leaned their faces toward their phone screens to watch closely!

There was no mistake... the thing in Lin Xian's hand... the shape was exactly like a [ballpoint pen]!

It was only as thick as a finger. As for the length, it was about the same as a standard ballpoint pen or fountain pen.

The most critical feature was—at one end of this small cylindrical object... there was a button with a structure very similar to that of a ballpoint pen!

It was as if you pressed this side... and a pen tip would extend from the other!

This scene was truly too unexpected for everyone... The comments in the livestream instantly flew by:

"This... this, are you telling me this is a scythe!? This is a scythe!? May I ask... when have you ever seen such a scythe? This size... it's exactly the same size as the ballpoint pen in my pencil case! And that button on the top... this is completely just a ballpoint pen! Lin Xian... why would he hold a ballpoint pen and insist it's a scythe? Is this some kind of halftime dad joke?"

"Hiss... I have to say, Lin Xian is playing with something very new... something that none of us can understand! I've already lost count... of how many times I've been this shocked tonight! It's like... no matter what Lin Xian releases, no matter how much mental preparation I make... but! The moment Lin Xian unveils the product... I still can't help but scream in shock!"

"This... this... this is going a bit too far! Even if you called the King of Heaven himself... what Lin Xian is holding is still a ballpoint pen, it absolutely cannot be a scythe. I'm even starting to doubt if the scythe Lin Xian mentioned... is really the kind that farmers use! May I ask... can such a small ballpoint pen... really be used to harvest wheat!?"

Cough! Cough! With his secretary patting his back... Director Chu Yun, who had choked on his tea, finally recovered.

He took the handkerchief his secretary handed him and wiped his mouth, ignoring General Mike opposite him—who was wiping his face while stealing glances of protest—and looked up instead.

With a dull expression and his face twitching uncontrollably, he looked at Lin Xian on the big screen. He was beyond tears!

"Lin... Lin Xian!"

"Is it so hard to just honestly manufacture some farm equipment?"

"[If you really don't want to inherit this farm machinery factory... you can just say so! Why do you have to torture each other in this way TT...]"

This is a scythe!? This is a Lightsaber, are you trying to do Star Wars!?

Director Chu Yun was truly beyond tears!

He even started to suspect... maybe Lin Xian didn't want to inherit this farm machinery factory at all! It was only because his father was in the hospital... that he had no choice!

Otherwise... why was it so hard to hope he would honestly produce some farm machinery? Wouldn't making tractors be better? Wouldn't making harvesters work? Scythes, hoes, pesticide sprayers, irrigation machines... there were clearly so many normal farm products to choose from!

But look at what Lin Xian was making? An Artificial Rainfall Bomb with a range of 20,000 kilometers! Flying mechs for rice planting! Laser Drones that could instantly kill tens of thousands of targets! A Genetic Potion that lets people transform three times!

He had thought... this time Lin Xian could finally be honest and properly manufacture a scythe! Director Chu Yun had confidently thought at the time... the structure of a scythe is so simple, how much could you possibly modify it?

But he never expected! Lin Xian was someone who never played by the rules.

Instead of making a proper scythe, he actually made a ballpoint pen and insisted it was a scythe.

This directly made Director Chu Yun break down! The mood that had just relaxed... suddenly became tense again!

At the United Nations conference site, the representatives from various countries in the audience were also shocked by this sudden and unexpected [ballpoint pen]! They discussed among themselves:

"What is going on here? Is this some new kind of dad joke? Or is it... that the Dragon Kingdom's scythes are just this small, this delicate, and this mini? But putting that aside! Just such a small thing... can it really be used to harvest wheat? There isn't even a place to hold it! It doesn't even have a blade."

"Is there a possibility that the thing in Lin Xian's hand is really just a ballpoint pen? Perhaps Lin Xian is really just joking with us! After all, he's been shocking us and scaring the pee out of us all night... he's got to have some halftime entertainment to liven up the atmosphere, right..."

"Things have suddenly become interesting! At this point, I've given up! Anyway, no matter how perverted the weaponry Lin Xian invents... ah, no! I mean... no matter how powerful the farm equipment Lin Xian invents... we won't be able to get our hands on it anyway! Might as well just relax and be a spectator!"

"If this [ballpoint pen]-like thing... really is the [Portable Laser Scythe] that Lin Xian claims it is! Then I have a strong premonition! Director Chu Yun might have to face another bitter battle! If a scythe can be hidden inside such a small thing... then wouldn't it be very easy to pass through security as an assassination weapon? It might even be that while someone is just pulling a ballpoint pen out of their pocket... your head has already been cut off by the scythe!"

Various guesses! Various doubts! No one could guess what the ballpoint pen in Lin Xian's hand really was!

And just at this moment! Lin Xian's voice came from the big screen:
