Chapter 72 Flirting Back
The person who came was also taken aback when he saw Lu Lin carrying the box.
"Lu Lin?"
Lu Xishan was somewhat surprised.
What are you doing here?
Lu Lin smiled. "I was just talking to someone about something. What are you rushing off to?"
"I finally managed to get in touch with Chief Hong of the Fierce Tiger Gang, but he didn't even have a sip of wine when he arrived. He left after hearing some news. That's why I came along to see if there's anything I can help with."
Lu Lin understands.
Lu Xishan was in charge of appeasing the gangs, which explains why he had dealings with Hong Tao of the Fierce Tiger Gang.
He smiled and pointed behind him, "What a coincidence! I just saw Chief Hong; he really needs help."
"Oh, really? Thank you so much! I'll head over now, guys."
Lu Xishan and Chong Lulin cupped their hands in greeting and led several yamen runners away quickly.
Lu Lin walked slowly all the way to Yingjiafang.
After all that fuss, he was hungry and wanted to find something to eat.
As soon as I arrived at the alley entrance, I saw that all the shops, regardless of size, had already opened their doors and started doing business.
"The Tiger Gang is pretty efficient."
Lu Lin felt quite pleased with himself.
Lu Lin went to the same noodle shop as before, ate two bowls of large meat noodles, and took out a silver ingot from the wooden box to pay the bill.
Some petty thieves, oblivious to the danger, were watching Lu Lin from outside the door.
Before they could do anything, several members of the Fierce Tiger Gang came over and took the two thieves away.
Lu Lin vaguely heard them say—
"You fucking want to die? That's Master Lu. You all better watch your eyes from now on."
"Huh? Bro, who's Master Lu? I've never heard of him before..."
Lu Lin smiled. The Tiger Gang's propaganda policy was good, and its execution was also quite strong. Hong Tao came from the army and was able to build such a large Tiger Gang from scratch. It seems that he is quite capable.
A stroll around Yingjiafang reveals a peaceful and prosperous atmosphere.
Lu Lin was very satisfied. He carried his suitcase to the money exchange and exchanged it for silver notes.
Back at the camp, Lu Lin intended to report to Master Yao, but couldn't find him. Instead, he happened to run into Wang Chong.
"Commander Wang, I was in charge of the Yingjiafang matter, and it's been resolved now."
"Oh, okay, so fast. Your name is Lu Lin, right?"
Wang Chong was only in his early twenties, and there was no generation gap between him and Lu Lin and the other young people. He spoke to them like a friend.
"No wonder they wanted to find you scholars from the academy to help. We went door to door to ask, but the merchants were all afraid and dared not do business. Don't worry, Lu Lin, I will definitely praise you in front of Master Yao."
"Thank you, Commander Wang. I'll go back to cultivate now."
Wang Chong smiled and saw Lu Lin off, then ordered his guards to check on the situation at Yingjiafang.
Before long, the guards returned and informed Wang Chong that Yingjiafang had indeed become lively and prosperous.
Wang Chong stroked his chin, unable to understand how Lu Lin had done it.
Back in the dormitory, while the other students were busy outside, Lu Lin was happy to have some peace and quiet by himself.
Lu Lin took out the three ancient sword-forging manuals and crushed the first one.
"The third move, counter-flirting? I already have that."
Continue disassembling the second book.
"I've got the first one too. This feels like opening a blind box."
Then open the third book.
"Sixth move, Dust Sweep! Haha, this is a hidden move, even the academy hasn't collected it."
Lu Lin carefully read Dang Chen's text once and put it away before starting his cultivation.
He intended to go to the courtyard to find some wood to chop, but just then he saw several carts of livestock being delivered to the army camp's mess hall.
The army's food was certainly not comparable to that of the academy, but the soldiers needed to train hard and definitely needed a lot of meat to supplement their diet.
Lu Lin followed the truck carrying livestock to the canteen and volunteered to help slaughter the animals.
The head chef in the cafeteria stared at Lu Lin curiously for a long time, unable to understand why a proper student from the academy would choose to do this instead of studying and writing.
However, the head chef was happy to have some free time. It was perfect timing, as he also wanted to see how the students at the academy butchered livestock. Maybe he could use that as a topic of conversation when drinking with others in the future.
Lu Lin happily got the hang of it.
He already had experience in the academy's dining hall, but he had only handled monsters; this was his first time dealing with ordinary livestock.
But once you understand the principle, you can quickly become familiar with it after just one try.
He was very skilled at bleeding and skinning, but when it came to cutting the meat, Lu Lin slowed down.
Cut the meat off piece by piece, along the skin and tendons.
The chefs standing nearby were stunned.
The students of this academy are indeed quite skilled.
The first pig was of above-average quality.
With his second pig, Lu Lin's skill level was already comparable to that of an ordinary master chef.
By the time the meat was divided into three pieces, the master chef watching from the sidelines couldn't bear to watch anymore. He realized that Lu Lin's meat-dividing skills were even better than his own.
The news that the students of the academy were distributing meat in the canteen spread like wildfire, and many canteen cooks came out of curiosity.
"Wow, that was a brilliant cut! It cut off without even drawing blood."
"Good heavens, is this even fair? This person has high cultivation, is good at studying, and also has excellent meat-cutting and butchering skills."
Lu Lin was also very happy to see so many people watching.
The speed increased, and the technique became more and more skillful.
Later on, some people volunteered to bleed and skin the animals, just so they could watch Lu Lin cut the meat.
Two hours later, Lu Lin had received more than a dozen pigs and two sheep.
People came and went in waves, arriving with curiosity but leaving with admiration.
What made Lu Lin even happier was that in just one afternoon, his proficiency with the first move of the Nine-Spinning Slash increased by nearly two thousand.
In another four days, once he has perfected the first move, he can begin practicing the third move, the Counter-Flirting.
When Lu Lin was having dinner with his classmates that evening, many soldiers, captains, and officers came to greet him, leaving the others bewildered and wondering what had happened.
The second day, the third day.
For several days in a row, Lu Lin's meat-distributing performance in the canteen became the star attraction of the city guard camp, even drawing the attention of the four commanders.
However, Lu Lin did not come on the fifth day.
Many people were disappointed, but unexpectedly, Lu Lin did not go to the back field to distribute the meat, but instead ran to the front field.
"Do me a favor, throw what you need to cut over here, and I'll try to cut it in mid-air."
what?
What kind of new way to play is this?
The canteen cooks were all surprised, but they were willing to cooperate.
With a whoosh, a potato flew over, and Lu Lin sliced it in half with a single upward motion.
But when Lu Lin squatted down to take a look, he shook his head.
This can only be called cutting, but he was thinking of cutting it in half from the middle. But now one side is bigger than the other, so he obviously still needs to practice.
Hearing that Lu Lin had a new show, many people came to watch.
But seeing his incomprehensible swordsmanship, many people shook their heads and left.
However, those with good swordsmanship had already realized that Lu Lin was practicing his swordsmanship.
Although the method is a bit strange, it should... work.
Even worse, there are those who love to teach others, pointing fingers and offering unsolicited advice, saying things like the knife was struck too early, too forcefully, or at the wrong angle, and they keep talking on and on.
Lu Lin wasn't annoyed and continued to make adjustments as they suggested.
