Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Military Advisor

Lin Shen saw a girl in a tracksuit talking to a clerk inside a counter, presumably a customer looking to buy Base Mutation Eggs.

From the back, although she wore loose-fitting sportswear that hid her figure and curves, her legs were undeniably long, and her black, dense hair, tied in a ponytail, made her look very healthy.

Overall, the girl exuded a robust aura as if she were the type to have her monthly periods arrive punctually and copiously.

“She looks highly suitable for having children,” Lin Shen withdrew his gaze, for now, he was here to buy Fire Seeds, and the matter of finding a woman to have children with could be put on hold.

Lin Shen, accompanied by Wei Wufu, walked to the counter and pointed to the Base Mutation Eggs on the shelves behind it, asking, “How are those sold?”

Before the clerk could answer, Lin Shen suddenly heard a familiar voice exclaiming in surprise, “Lin Shen? What are you doing here?”

Lin Shen turned his head to look at the girl who had spoken, and after seeing her clearly, he frowned and said, “Ye Yuzhen, what are you doing here?”

Not only did Lin Shen know this girl, but he would probably never forget her in his lifetime.

Love Strategist Ye Yuzhen, as she called herself, was Lu Qing’s half-sister and best friend; however, Lin Shen thought the title Love Warhound suited her better.

Lin Shen’s breakup with Lu Qing had Ye Yuzhen’s significant contribution. Without Ye Yuzhen’s tireless efforts, Lin Shen and Lu Qing wouldn’t have parted ways so quickly.

“I heard big sister had an accident; you’re here at Yashen Base for sister’s sake, right?” Ye Yuzhen said.

“That’s a family matter of mine, no need for you to worry,” Lin Shen replied coldly, then turned back to the clerk and asked, “How are those Base Mutation Eggs sold?”

The clerk smiled and said, “The Base Mutation Eggs on the shelf, Steel Eggs from the first and second rows start at a thousand, Alloy Eggs from the third and fourth rows start at thirty thousand, each egg individually priced. Whatever you fancy, the price is clearly marked, fair to young and old alike. Since you are Miss Ye’s friend, we could offer you a 30% discount.”

“Do I look like someone who needs a discount?” Lin Shen pointed to a Steel Egg and said, “I’ll take that one, wrap it up for me, how much in total?”

“All right, sir, that Spiral Snail Egg at Steel Level is priced at 999, today’s special offer,” the clerk continued with a smile.

“Here’s a thousand,” Lin Shen flamboyantly placed a thousand-yuan bill on the counter, then added, “Don’t forget the change.”

Lin Shen wouldn’t let the Lu Family or Ye Yuzhen take advantage of him, but he certainly wouldn’t let them advantage of him even by a single penny either.

The clerk quickly wrapped up the Spiral Snail Egg Lin Shen had requested and handed it over with the one yuan change.

Lin Shen grabbed his purchase and turned to leave; he had nothing to say to Ye Yuzhen, not even the need for a greeting.

“Lin Shen, big sister’s matter is quite troublesome, if you’re here to ask Lu Qing for help, I can contact her for you,” Ye Yuzhen said.

“No need,” Lin Shen didn’t want to engage in useless chatter and left the With You shop directly.

Ye Yuzhen watched Lin Shen’s retreating figure, her gaze somewhat complex.

Only after Lin Shen’s figure had completely disappeared did Ye Yuzhen retract her gaze and, after pondering for a while, also left the shop.

“Coming to Yashen Base was indeed the right decision,” Lin Shen, having obtained the Base Mutation Egg embedded with a Fire Seed, was in a very good mood.

Having reaped rewards, Lin Shen decided to make the most of it and tour all the shops in one go. If he could find a few more Fire Seeds, the trip would truly be worthwhile.

Unfortunately, after visiting every shop, Lin Shen didn’t find any more Base Mutation Eggs with Fire Seeds, which left him somewhat disappointed.

“This place has so many more Base Mutation Eggs than Dark Bird Base, so why is there only one Fire Seed?” Lin Shen couldn’t fathom the pattern behind the appearance of Fire Seeds.

However, obtaining one Fire Seed was already good, and now Lin Shen couldn’t wait to find a place to sleep with the Base Mutation Egg and see what kind of Fire Seed powers he would gain.

“Someone’s following us,” Wei Wufu said.

“Let them follow,” Lin Shen replied indifferently.

He knew the Xu Family was certainly monitoring them all along, but he was here to thoroughly resolve the issue because if the Xu Family went to Dark Bird Base for retaliation, he couldn’t yet protect the entire Lin Family.

It was always better to have a battle in someone else’s home, which was why Lin Shen had come.

Of course, Lin Shen was a pacifist by nature; it was best not to resort to violence if possible. It all hinged on the Xu Family’s leader’s choices.

To Lin Shen’s surprise, the Xu Family really could keep their cool. He had been at Yashen Base for three or four hours now, yet the Xu Family hadn’t approached him.

“Since they’re not coming to me, I’ll continue with my own business,” Lin Shen said after leaving the marketplace; he then went to a marriage agency.

After a full round at Yashen Base, Lin Shen noticed there were quite a few young and beautiful women there, definitely many more than at Dark Bird Base.

Dark Bird Base was just a tiny place, full of old households who all knew each other’s background very well. It wasn’t easy to find someone like Lin Shen there, so he thought it would be easier to look at Yashen Base.

He was from a moderately wealthy family after all, and he wasn’t bad-looking either. Finding someone who met his criteria shouldn’t be too difficult.

With no time to do it himself, Lin Shen opted for the most time-saving strategy: he signed up for a Super VIP at a marriage agency.

The plump proprietress of the agency was smiling so much that her mouth wouldn’t close, practically tripping over herself to serve him tea and wanting to give him a shoulder massage.

“My requirements are simple, a good family background, good looks, and must be able to carry children well,” Lin Shen said as he sipped tea.

“Don’t worry, I’ll arrange it for you. These are the best quality candidates I have, you’ll be satisfied,” the plump proprietress said as she scurried back with a stack of profiles and photographs.

“Handsome, take a look at this one, the Alloy Valkyrie. She’s got family status, strength, marry her and you won’t have to do anything but count money…” the plump proprietress said, laughing at her own words.

“A bit short,” Lin Shen commented as he looked at the photograph.

“How about this one then? She might only be Steel Level, but she’s beautiful, has a gentle personality, very obedient and well-behaved…” The proprietress, without hesitation, picked another one.

“A bit skinny,” Lin Shen glanced at the photograph and frowned.

“No problem, we have plenty of high-quality girls. What about this one? She’s got the looks, the figure, the level, the career…”

“Why does it say in the profile that she has a child?” Lin Shen thought the photo was fine, but upon closer inspection of the profile, there was a child.

“It’s just a girl, it’s no big deal.” The proprietress awkwardly took the profile back and picked out another one.

They compared candidates for a while, but neither this one nor that one pleased him; they went through a pile and still didn’t pick anyone.

“Handsome, I understand now,” the proprietress was surprisingly patient, not showing any sign of annoyance, but instead smiled knowingly.

“What do you understand?” Lin Shen asked with a smile.

“What you want,” she said with a sly grin, “is actually just one word.”

“Which word?” Lin Shen asked curiously.

“Big,” the proprietress said directly.

“Big?” Lin Shen blinked.

“Yes, big,” the proprietress confirmed.

“Big, huh?” Amusement rippled in Lin Shen’s eyes.

“Big.” The proprietress’s eyes met Lin Shen’s, as if they shared a secret understanding, and they both burst into laughter.

“Alright, let’s go for ‘big’ then,” Lin Shen agreed, nodding.

“Definitely big, you’ll be satisfied. Forget about these, I’ll set something up for you tonight, wait for my good news,” she said with confidence.

Lin Shen left the marriage agency and wandered the nearby area. After dining with Wei Wufu, he returned to the hotel he had booked and settled in.

That evening, the proprietress sent a message, telling Lin Shen to meet someone at a tea house; she had already made the appointment and urged Lin Shen to ask no questions, promising a surprise at the meeting.

Lin Shen, accompanied by Wei Wufu, went to the tea house. Such matters were generally best handled alone, but Lin Shen felt uneasy without Wei Wufu by his side, in case the Xu Family posed an unexpected threat.

Upon entering the second floor of the establishment, Lin Shen saw a woman sitting by the window, clad in a black figure-hugging dress, her legs impossibly long, her wavy hair cascading down her back.

Lin Shen could only see her profile but had to admit that the proprietress did have a point; the woman really was “big.”

At first glance, Lin Shen thought she was exactly what he was looking for, definitely fertile, the kind who could have two babies in three years, and the kids wouldn’t go hungry.

“I guess, you must be waiting for me, right?” Lin Shen approached, picking up the agreed-upon token on the table, a blue rose, and smiled at her.

Their eyes met, and Lin Shen suddenly froze, the rose dropping from his hand to the floor automatically.

“Why is it you?” Both exclaimed at almost the same time.

The woman was none other than the love strategist Ye Yuzhen; Lin Shen almost didn’t recognize her.

Normally, this woman was always dressed in loose sportswear, who would have thought she was so impressive.
