The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 92 (Patreon)

Chapter 92

Before Green Grass had a falling out with Chengtian Merchant Guild, she did contact Zheng Mingjie privately. Zheng Mingjie didn't outright refuse, speaking ambiguously, which seemed to give her the impression that they welcomed her. She couldn't wait to leave Chengtian Merchant Guild with her group of followers.

"Yi Ning, she might come looking for you today. I've arranged for the guild management to guard the door, making sure they don't have an easy time. If she seeks you out, remember not to entertain her."

"Okay," Ling Chunann nodded.

"In that case, you get busy, I'll take off first."

098: "This person usually seems quite honest. Why so shrewd now?"

Ling Chunann: "No matter what, he's still a businessman."

Less than three hours after Zheng Mingjie and Ling Chunann discussed this, Green Grass showed up at the guild's entrance.

"Hello, who are you here to see?" The guild guard stopped Green Grass and her group at the door.

Green Grass, leading her entourage of trusted allies, was unexpectedly stopped at the door. Her face naturally soured a bit, but she quickly regained her smile and said politely, "I made an appointment with Ming Ri Tianya."

Green Grass was attractive, and her smile was charming, causing the young guard's face to blush slightly, looking somewhat embarrassed. "I'm sorry, the vice president just left for an urgent mission, and I can't reach him either."

"What does he mean? I just contacted him yesterday, and he said we were welcome to come anytime." Green Grass's expression grew increasingly unpleasant.

"Well, how about this? I'll take you for a tour of our guild while we wait for the vice president to return?" the guard suggested.

"Host, the management is taking Green Grass and her group to tour the guild." 098 remarked. The guard he portrayed was quite convincing, playing the sycophant role perfectly, clearly a product of Zheng Mingjie's influence.

Green Grass seemed to be touring Starfire Guild with the perspective of a future guild member, occasionally commenting critically. Her tone was condescending, but the manager remained unbothered, not showing the slightest impatience, instead flattering the group endlessly until the tour was over.

Finally, the manager escorted them to the door. "That concludes today's tour. Thank you for visiting."

As the door closed with a bang, the group exchanged puzzled looks.

Finally, Green Grass regained her composure, her expression contorting. "They played me!"

Although Green Grass was a renowned beauty on the leaderboard, she was ultimately weak and vulnerable. Aside from the formidable Blade Edge Cold, who ranked first in the Combat Power List, even the vice president, Zheng Mingjie, who had little combat power, could thwart her plans. Moreover, they were still being pursued by Qin Xuyang.

Trapped between a rock and a hard place accurately described their current situation.

"Host, Green Grass was killed by the male lead's men once, then she went to seek refuge with Purple Rose, breaking ties with the male lead's guild." 098 was organizing recent information. "Due to their fallout in the game, Green Grass and Purple Rose have also severed ties in real life."

"How's Murong Xue been recently?" Ling Chunann suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question.

098 quickly provided an answer, "Murong Xue hasn't been very happy lately, but she hasn't mentioned the reason to her family."

"Got it."

Just then, Ling Chunann's message bar lit up. "Yining, have you checked the forum? There's a player meetup recently. Are you going? I remember you're from Haicheng, and the meetup is in Haicheng. My brother and I are coming, so you and Uncle must come too!"

After completing tasks together before, the siblings Murong Xue and Ling Chunann occasionally went out to run instances. Although they were no longer in the same guild, whenever there was an event, Murong Xue would always find Ling Chunann.

"What a coincidence," Ling Chunann exclaimed, "this girl and I are totally in sync." As he said this, he agreed to the invitation.

098: "..." Host, you still have Feng Buyu to worry about. Be careful not to make him jealous.

Speaking of which, Ling Chunann's romantic fortunes in this world were particularly good. Although no one had confessed to him because of Feng Buyu, 098 could tell that at least five people liked Ling Chunann, both men and women. Among them, two were even from the male lead's original harem, and the other two were the male lead's minions. Although Feng Buyu never mentioned it, given his jealous nature, 098 couldn't imagine what would happen if Ling Chunann showed favor to someone else.

The player meetup was scheduled for half a month later.

After some consideration, Ling Chunann found Zheng Mingjie. "Spread the word that our guild is hosting an event. All items will be discounted by 20% for ten days."

"Okay." Without objection, Zheng Mingjie responded quickly, then took out an abacus and began calculating rapidly. "In that case, our inventory of medicinal products won't be enough. We'll need to increase it by at least fifty percent."

"No problem, just go to my warehouse and get them." Ling Chunann nodded.

"It seems like you really want to crush Chengtian." Zheng Mingjie's expression was filled with excitement. "I promise to shut down their guild within ten days! I'll go now!"

"Go ahead."

"Oh, by the way, Yining." Walking to the door, Zheng Mingjie suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Ling Chunann looked up. "What is it?"

Looking into Ling Chunann's eyes, Zheng Mingjie suddenly became somewhat awkward. He hesitated for a moment, as if making a decision. "I..."

"Babe, I'm back." Just then, Feng Buyu's voice came in, conveniently interrupting Zheng Mingjie. He nodded at Zheng Mingjie, then hugged Ling Chunann, "Missed me?"

This time Feng Buyu had been away on a business trip for two days in reality, equivalent to twelve days in the game. Ling Chunann obediently nodded, "I did."

Zheng Mingjie stood still for a while, his expression stiff, then silently left, his footsteps sounding somewhat heavy.

098: "Host, I think something's off with him."

Ling Chunann: "Maybe he was about to confess to me just now."

"...” That would be too tragic; just as he was about to confess, he ran into the main character. 098 cast a sympathetic glance at Zheng Mingjie's departing figure.

Ling Chunann didn't think much about it, pulling Feng Buyu offline and immediately tearing off his clothes, diving in for a bite.

The consequence of this action was that he didn't get out of bed for eight days straight.

On the morning of the ninth day, as Ling Chunann opened his eyes, he saw Feng Buyu standing by the window. Seeing Ling Chunann wake up, he hung up the phone, turned around, and gave him a kiss. "Sorry, baby, did I wake you up?"

"No, I woke up on my own." Ling Chunann sat up with the force of Feng Buyu. "What's the matter?" Knowing Feng Buyu well, he wouldn't answer a call during his sleep unless it was important.

"Baby, I have good news to tell you." Feng Buyu's face lit up with a smile. "The project you asked my laboratory to research has succeeded."

"Really?" Ling Chunann confirmed once again, not surprised. Given the scientific and technological level of this world, he had expected the ocean purification technology to take at least three years to research, until "Spirit Realm" became the second world completely. It had only been a little over a year, three times faster than expected.

"Of course, it was Dr. Cheng's call just now." Feng Buyu pointed to the phone on the bedside.

"I want to go see." Ling Chunann tried to prop himself up but suddenly paused, looking down at the area he had pressed on. This guy had gotten hard again.

098 discreetly disappeared, wishing the host good luck.

The next afternoon, Ling Chunann arrived at the laboratory feeling somewhat drowsy.

As the project's main person in charge, Dr. Cheng had been waiting outside the door upon hearing they were coming. When their car stopped, he immediately came forward to greet them.

In the laboratory, Dr. Cheng pointed to the beautiful blue potion on the experimental platform. "President Feng, Mr. Luo, this is the finished product. We named it the Purification Potion. With just one vial, it can purify a hundred miles of ocean."

Seeing the finished potion, Ling Chunann became fully awake. He looked at the sky-blue liquid in the test tube and then turned to Dr. Cheng. "How many vials of this potion can be produced within a year?"

Hearing this question, Dr. Cheng subconsciously looked at Feng Buyu and then quickly replied, "The production of this potion is very fast, but because of the special materials required, mass production is almost..." Dr. Cheng's words were cut off by Feng Buyu, who looked casually at him and then rubbed Ling Chunann's head. "Don't worry, darling, we'll have as much material as we need."

Dr. Cheng smiled awkwardly. "Sorry, Mr. Luo, I spoke too fast. How many vials do you need?"

Ling Chunann asked, "How many bottles do you have now?"

Dr. Cheng glanced at Feng Buyu again and then held out his hand, spreading it open. "We made six bottles this time, used one for testing, so we have five left."

"Give them all to me, it's enough. No need to make more in the future." Ling Chunann also glanced at Feng Buyu.

"Okay." Upon hearing Ling Chunann's decision, Dr. Cheng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "I'll go get a box to pack them for you."

"Darling, are you sure it's enough?" Feng Buyu still seemed a bit worried.

"Of course, it's not enough," Ling Chunann glanced at him, "but this stuff isn't urgently needed. We'll have them make more when I need them."

"Okay, just let me know when you need them," Feng Buyu said.

On the way back, seeing Ling Chunann dozing off, 098, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up, "Host, why didn't you let them continue producing the potion? Isn't it better to have more of it? Just five bottles won't be enough to purify such a large ocean."

"098, when did you become so nosy?" Ling Chunann said, "Focus on getting the second plot down. That's what's important after completing the tasks."

"Okay, host, there's been a response from above recently. The second plot should be available soon," 098 replied, "Incomplete plot situations like this will definitely increase energy points after you complete the task."
