It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

Chapter 1014 Notification!

“Is the world going to change?” Ling Xiao’s gazed deeply towards the window. Suddenly, his expression steeled and he contacted Ling Lan’s communicator. action

Ling Xiao knew that no matter where Ling Lan was, she would have the ability to not expose herself. Although Ling Lan continued to tell him that she had awakened talents of a hacker, Ling Xiao could tell that it was not the case. However, his daughter was older now and had her own secrets so he just pretended to not know. He would wait for the day when his daughter would willingly tell him or perhaps never tell him in this lifetime.

Soon, Ling Lan picked the call on her communicator. Ling Lan showed her scar-filled face on it which made Ling Xiao’s expression darken.

“Dad, you’re looking for me?” Ling Lan didn’t care about that part of her face and was not saddened by it in the least.

Ling Xiao knew that it wasn’t part of the disguise, but rather because Ling Lan didn’t care about it. He sighed once again. He raised his daughter poorly. Girls should put their looks first. Perhaps for Ling Lan, it was the most unimportant feature for her.

Seeing Ling Xiao sigh, Ling Lan knew that it was because of the scar on her face. She couldn’t explain to him that her face was going to return to normal soon.

That was because after a few days, Planet Juhao’s local products and resources would be publicly auctioned off by the Federation. The representatives of the three chemical product corporations that she had told Little Four to develop in the past few years were sent to the auction. In order to confuse others, these three corporations were planning on buying all of the local product from Planet Juhao.

Of course, Nuwa agent’s main component must be acquired. After thinking about this, Ling Lan didn’t know what Little Four was thinking in the beginning. This Little Four just randomly created three corporations who dealt with the same products. He also made these three corporations compete to the death which caused them all to become enemies with each other. All three of them wanted to destroy the competitor and didn’t know that their boss was actually the same person.

However, it was because of this that Ling Lan was able to arrange everything perfectly. If the plant wasn’t paid any attention by others, she would arrange for a smaller company to buy it secretly. If it drew the attention of other companies, the three large corporations would make a move. This would create competition between enemies, with neither of them willing to give in. In turn, causing the price to rise up exponentially and scare off others who want to take the product.

This way, no matter which of the three corporations brought the components, she wouldn’t worry about obtaining Nuwa agents.

Of course, Ling Lan had already thought of the reason to explain why she needed large amounts of that plant. Her military doctor, Li Shiyu, had long discovered that the useless bits left from experiments could still be used. By adding in some standard ingredients, the bits could be used to create a top of the line skin care products that could help women stay young and age slower.

In this world, the money of women and children were the easiest to acquire! Even in this intergalactic era, these wise words from Ling Lan’s previous life still rang true.

Ling Lan didn’t want her father to continue to worry about her face that was going to recover soon. She thought for a moment and then decided to tell him everything, “Dad, don’t worry. My body’s recoverability is increasing. It will disappear after a while.”

The earnest look on Ling Lan’s face made Ling Xiao know that she wasn’t lying to him. Having been worried about Ling Lan’s scars for a long time, Ling Xiao finally had a large smile on his face.

Seeing Ling Xiao’s expression become less worried, Ling Lan smirked slightly.

As expected, her decision was right!

Despite telling Ling Xiao everything honestly would increase the risk of her secret and Li Shiyu’s research becoming exposed, she still believed that it was worth the risk to comfort her father, who blamed himself for her injuries.

Ling Xiao didn’t ask Ling Lan how she was going to recover. He only told Ling Lan to be more careful and not be injured again. Ling Xiao was afraid that if she were to injure herself again, she would become a vegetable in the end.

Ling Xiao knew very well that there was definitely a special reason for a person who had lost their recoverability to regain it.

However, since his daughter didn’t want to tell him, why should he ask? Plus, he didn’t want to receive the method of recovering for the injuries from operating above one’s level... Ling Xiao knew very well that this was a Pandora’s box. Once it opened, there would be many troubles coming their way.

Ling Xiao continued to ask Ling Lan why she had the thought that one of the three marshals hid their level. Ling Lan then told him what she had discovered, along with how the Flying Dragon Special Forces had moved out to investigate Magic Ace Mecha Clan from 15 years ago. She also included the mineral veins in her explanation.

Ling Lan probably couldn’t hide the fact of existence of the mineral veins anymore since the Flying Dragon Special Forces had been sent here. Ling Lan sighed in her mind and thought it was unfortunate. She then decided to tell her father about the mineral veins.

Back then, that person wanted to put the mineral veins into the public after discovering he couldn’t take control of Liu Furong. But, he suddenly changed his mind and didn’t want others to acquire the secrets of the mineral veins anymore. He would rather destroy it than to let others have it.

Instead of the Flying Dragon Special Forces finding out that the mineral veins were taken by her and misunderstand as Ling Xiao and her wanting to take it for themselves, it would be much better if she handed it over willingly and let her father ask the military for the merits they rightfully deserved.

It wasn’t because Ling Lan didn’t trust Liu Furong. Instead, it was because there were too many people who knew about it. She had to hand over the mineral veins since she couldn’t kill off everyone who knew about it.

Luckily, there was still the Soul Society. Ling Lan originally thought the materials at the Soul Society were no longer important. She didn’t think that after going around in a circle, she still needed to go to the Soul Society for resolving the issues with Little Four and the instructors’ bodies.

What she rejoiced was that she still had Xia Qingyi as a backup.

Ling Lan thought frustratingly. If the mineral veins did not need to be handed over, she would just mine out a bit and resolve the issue of Little Four, Little Blossom and the instructors’ materials for building their bodies. However now, she needed to start from scratch again.

“So, you’re in Mai’er Fa.” After hearing Ling Lan explain the information regarding the mineral veins, Ling Xiao instantly understood where Ling Lan was situated at currently.

“Yes. I just want to know whether Liu Furong’s words are true or fake. ” Ling Lan, of course, wouldn’t tell her father than she wanted to secretly mine the vein...

Ling Lan, who usually held a stern expression on her face, now couldn’t help but blush for a moment. Luckily, there were many scars on her face. The slight redness was not obvious among the red scars.

“Lan’er, you’re too impulsive.” Ling Xiao’s thoughts were focused on the danger his daughter was in and didn’t see that Ling Lan was embarrassed. He frowned and said, “Even the Federation don’t dare to provoke Mailer Fa... These mineral veins have been preserved on Mai’er Fa and not excavated is probably because of this reason.”

“I even suspect that Mai’er Fa knows about the mineral veins. That’s why they opened the casino city there.” Ling Xiao didn’t believe that Mai’er Fa’s faction wouldn’t first investigate this planet before building their gambling hub.

“They are probably afraid it will be discovered by other nations and cause them to be attacked because of the immense profits there, so it’s better for them to pretend to not know anything, secretly hide the mineral veins and slowly excavate it,” Ling Lan said while in deep thought.
