"Why?" Lin Wen asked.

An Desi whispered, "Master Lin, I've wanted to quit for a long time. I pretended to be sick three times and got kicked out each time. The Council has control over my family. If you publicly execute me, they will know that I haven't betrayed or run away. Maybe, just maybe, my family, my children, my parents, can still survive."

Lin Wen's eyes flickered as he stared at his aura. When an ordinary person lies, their aura will fluctuate noticeably. Even if they have been trained, it doesn't matter, unless they are one of the few people that Lin Wen cannot see the aura of.

This person wasn't lying.

So.

Is there any value in using him?

Lin Wen glanced at his single-digit Yuan Shen and the pile of affairs in Changshan County. It was impossible for him to rashly save his family.

So, he could only do as he said.

But, the benefits of doing so were very low, and given the extent of the Council's darkness and cruelty, even if they knew he was dead, they might still clean up his family to silence them.

This was a last resort.

There must be a better way.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Wen suddenly thought of a classic scene from the movie "Count of the Gay Mountain".

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "An Desi, you should know that even so, the chances of your family surviving are not high."

An Desi's expression dimmed. "Of course, but there is no other way."

"No."

Lin Wen smiled as if he were facing a god.

"There is another way."

An Desi looked up at him, his expression lacking any brilliance, clearly not believing him.

Yun Zhixing's eyes lit up with obvious excitement as he whispered, "He's here, he's here!"

"You."

Lin Wen pointed at him.

"Go back to the Council alone, kill all the blackmailers, rescue your family, and bring them to Changshan County."

"I."

Lin Wen pointed at himself.

"Will negotiate with the Council as your hostage, creating conditions for your revenge."

Due to the restart of the steel plant, the voltage in Changshan County often dropped, causing the dungeon's lights to dim, shrouding Lin Wen's smile in shadows.

"The rest is up to fate, life and death are determined by destiny."

Yun Zhixing, being Qin Luoshuang's deputy, was also extremely intelligent. In an instant, he understood Lin Wen's intentions and clapped his hands excitedly. "Brilliant! This is absolutely brilliant!"

"Create the illusion of your kidnapping, negotiate with the Council. In the Council's eyes, you are a top spy who can disappear once released into the sea. Your value will not be lost."

"As long as you still have value, the Council will not kill your family. Sheriff Lin will negotiate with the Council, while you secretly return to your hometown and rescue your family when they least expect it."

"This plan is simply ingenious. I can't imagine how many details are involved!"

"Alright."

Lin Wen interrupted discontentedly, "You don't need to explain anymore. You've lowered my level of sophistication."

An Desi lowered his head and pondered for a while, finally understanding.

Sheriff Lin wasn't afraid of him running away at all. As long as he saved his family, it meant he officially rebelled against the Council. At that time, his only way out was to bring his family to Changshan County, the only place that could resist the Council's infiltration.

If he chose to run away and betray, Sheriff Lin would directly expose their conspiracy, and the Council would immediately know that An Desi had rebelled. His family would also die.

The most crucial point of this plan was that he had to leave behind enough evidence to prove that he was really kidnapped, while also proving that he was truly cooperating with Sheriff Lin.

This would serve as the basis for negotiation and also as the shackles that controlled him.

Even if he immediately betrayed the Council and revealed everything, it would be difficult for the Council to believe a person with a criminal record who had repeatedly switched sides.

And all of this was hidden behind the mask of reasonable demands, making it difficult for someone with slightly slower thinking to understand the deeper meaning.

Sure enough, Sheriff Lin said, "Now, record ten videos and leave behind key evidence that can prove your identity, so that we can prove that we have captured you."

"Then, Yun Zhixing, immediately contact the Council and negotiate with them. You must appear in person for the first time."

An Desi truly admired the young and incredible Sheriff. How could he come up with such a perfect plan in such a short time? It took him a while to fully understand.

But he didn't hold any grudges in his heart.

He stood up and respectfully bowed to the person who was less than half his age.

"I will follow your orders."

A flame burned in his heart.

The dormant blood in him boiled.

The Council, huh?

You've controlled me for so many years, but you never expected me to rebel.

He stood up, and his frail and stooped figure suddenly seemed tall and towering. He looked north, his gaze seeming to penetrate walls and soil, shooting towards the unseen Council.

He didn't say a word, but his spirit was roaring.

Council!

Your retribution has come!

——

For Lin Wen, he had many incredibly beautiful visions.

One of them was to turn Changshan County into a fully automated karma ATM.

Allowing him to lie down and watch karma move on its own every day.Of course, it would be best to be able to directly transfer, but now there is no perfect opportunity for reincarnation, and there are too many evil connections, so reincarnation is not possible. It is also unclear how much good connections can be transformed into luck and opportunity. It is also unknown how much luck the big shots in the cultivation world have, and how much luck he needs.

The last point is the most worrying. After Lin Wen finished his cultivation in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but ask.

Originally, he just wanted to see how much spiritual energy this question would consume. In his imagination, it would not take much spiritual energy to answer this question.

But the result is:

Consumption: 20% spiritual energy.

Lin Wen looked at his just recovered 10% spiritual energy and couldn't help but use it.

Spiritual energy returned to zero again.

【The limit of luck and opportunity is 49, and the highest has 48】

Lin Wen instantly understood that the Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Manifestation is forty-nine, leaving a glimmer of hope. Therefore, the limit of luck and opportunity is 49.

In this case, the +3 opportunity and +3 luck of the "Savior Star" are explosive existences, and when combined with the "Duty Keeper", they have +5 opportunity and +5 luck as soon as they are reincarnated, while others who have been cultivating for many years only have 48.

The importance of a perfect reincarnation start is even more important than Lin Wen thought.

And trash reincarnation is absolutely not allowed. Every bit of luck that is lacking may take thousands of years to make up for.

Therefore, it is necessary to have a perfect reincarnation start, and death is absolutely not allowed outside of a perfect reincarnation.

Lin Wen once again reaffirmed his belief that nothing can replace it.

The next day, when Lin Wen woke up, his spiritual energy had recovered to 11%. Now he can recover 18-21% of his spiritual energy every day, depending on the duration and efficiency of his meditation.

He put on his shoes and completed his morning routine outside the house. Lin Wen now prefers to go back to his house in Changle Town to rest. His dilapidated house with leaking light everywhere has a sense of cultivation, which allows him to recover more spiritual energy.

Afterwards, Lin Wen went to the cafeteria in Changle Town for breakfast. Although Changle Town has been canceled and merged into the new town, Lin Wen still calls it that out of habit.

Along the way, he met many familiar people and greeted them. When he was having breakfast, he met Little Li again. Little Li shouted and brought over steamed buns, porridge, and pickles, sitting opposite Lin Wen and eating while bragging about his heroic deeds as the deputy mayor of the new town.

Lin Wen's breakfast is his favorite classic set meal, dried radish, vegetables with porridge. This is the breakfast with the most cultivation atmosphere.

So, a sheriff and a deputy mayor were eating a simple breakfast that officials from other regions wouldn't even touch on an ordinary thick wooden table in this shabby cafeteria, chatting casually.

Lin Wen mainly listened and occasionally asked questions, while Little Li used his expertise to arrange everything in an orderly manner without affecting his bragging.

After breakfast, Lin Wen also got a general idea. He picked up his bowl and went to the river to wash himself. It was quite pitiful. As the sheriff of a county with 5,000 secretaries and assistants, he still had to wash his own dishes.

Bai Xiuyu is now busy with the affairs of the Women's Federation and the Neighborhood Committee and has no time to take care of him.

After cleaning the dishes and chopsticks, Lin Wen's thoughts had already taken shape.

He called the driver and got in the car, and they set off.

At this moment, he finally looked a bit like a senior imperial official.

The new-Huai highway from the new town to Huai town has been completed. It is 11 kilometers long, with a smooth road and no bumps. He can no longer enjoy the thrilling feeling of running on a night road like before.

There are two-meter-high anti-collision slopes on both sides of the road, and workers are planting flowers and grass on them. Driving under the slopes gives a sense of security.

Soon, the car arrived at the ghostly and destructive Tianmo Pit. As a passenger, Lin Wen intuitively felt the magnificence of the steel and stone bridge and the horror of the big pit.

The pit is 300 meters long, nearly 700 meters wide, and over 600 meters deep. What concept is this? The area of the pit is as large as 30 football fields, as high as 200 floors. The 23-meter-wide steel and stone bridge on it is like a thin thread, and the car on the thread is not even as big as an ant, at most a flea.

Driving here is like driving in the void. Looking down, there is a deep pit, and the dark sunlight cannot reach the bottom. It seems that the earth has opened a big mouth to devour people.

Here, one can intuitively feel their insignificance in front of nature.

This natural wonder is far more magnificent than Lin Wen initially imagined. The surrounding scenic spots are under construction, including the Golden and Silver Platform that extends out and hangs in mid-air.

Chief Engineer Yang has turned the entire pit into an artwork. He even invited many sculptors, architects, horticulturists, painters, and art experts with his old face.

When Lin Wen passed by the pit, he saw several guys on the shore who were very artistic and were arguing fiercely. They started fighting while arguing. Although they were men, they didn't fight like men at all. They were tearing clothes and pulling hair. In a short while, they turned into a few fruit boys wrestling.

Tsk, it's really an eyesore.

The 11-kilometer journey took Lin Wen only 9 minutes to complete. Lin Wen vividly remembered that when he first took Little Li's old car to the town for a meeting, it took more than an hour to drive on the mountain road. He can no longer enjoy the thrilling feeling of that time.

However, the reason why there are almost no cars on this road now is also because of this.But it's okay.

Having witnessed the birth and development of a miracle once, Lin Wen was certain.

On this path, where cars are overcrowded, and driving is slower than pedestrians walking uphill.

That day won't be too far away.
