"What, what?!"
Not just Tang Lingyu.
At this moment.
Almost everyone on the scene was stunned!
The way they looked at Lin Lang was as if they were gazing at an indescribable existence.
It was simply unfathomable!
What kind of man was he? How could he, at such a critical moment, say such—
A blunt truth to a woman! "Pfft!"
Ning Shuangyu was the first to crack, bursting into laughter.
Then Gu Fei also covered her mouth.
Lü Suran, however, seemed a bit at a loss, her habit of feeling embarrassed for others kicking in again.
Under the gaze of everyone.
Tang Lingyu stood frozen, her face shifting from red to white, then from white to red.
Until it turned ashen!
The dazzling gemstone brooch in her hand, at that moment, became a joke along with its owner.
And Lin Lang merely looked at her coldly.
Is it worth a fortune just to buy a woman's smile? Puffing oneself up to look good?
Does he really think I'm a three-year-old child? There are many ways to showcase one's strength; why must he choose one that harms himself while benefiting others?
No matter how many resources he gives away, Lin Lang didn't care.
Because he wasn't lacking in resources.
But if he gave away resources and still got called a fool?
Then he would truly be a fool!
Being nice to Gu Fei and the other two at least earned him loyalty and increased the return rate.
What could he gain by being nice to Tang Lingyu? Nothing at all!
At this moment.
Shen Chuchu took the opportunity to walk over to Tang Lingyu's side, fanning the flames:
"See, Lin Lang is just that kind of bastard."
"In his eyes, all women are merely tools!"
"I'm a victim, you're a victim, and so are the three of them!"
Tang Lingyu listened.
She bit her lip.
But didn't say a word.
Only stared intently at Lin Lang and his group, her beautiful eyes reflecting a different kind of light: 'Is it really like this?'
That would be wonderful! A capable man should be like this, right?
Unfettered by romantic entanglements, solely focused on his career! This young man actually has such a mindset?
Had she really misjudged him?
...
"Lin Lang!"
At this moment.
Someone called out to Lin Lang: "I have a Superpower Fruit here, can I trade it for some resources?"
"Superpower Fruit?!"
Hearing those three words, the noisy crowd around them fell silent, all attention drawn to this spot.
The person took out a purple fruit from their pocket.
Translucent and glistening, surrounded by a mist, it was undoubtedly a Superpower Fruit! "Purple?"
Lin Lang recalled that someone had mentioned this purple Superpower Fruit in the group chat before.
It seemed to correspond to the ability of flight? Lin Lang pondered and asked, "What resources do you want?"
The person tentatively replied: "Fifty bottles of purified water, is that okay?"
Lin Lang said: "Thirty."
"Deal!"
After the price was settled.
Lin Lang turned to look at Ning Shuangyu.
Ning Shuangyu, looking helpless, reached into her pocket and indeed pulled out 30 bottles of purified water in one go! This scene left Gu Fei and Lü Suran stunned!
"Is Shuangyu sister performing magic?"
The person received the purified water, handed over the purple Superpower Fruit to Lin Lang, and hurriedly left.
Water is the source of life.
Especially in this apocalypse, it had become more precious than gold!
Having so much water all at once felt like someone had suddenly become rich overnight!
It was hard to guarantee that no one would set their sights on him!
As it turned out, this was indeed the case; the crowd looked at the person's departing figure, their gazes filled with heat:
"Thirty bottles of purified water! Is this Superpower Fruit really that valuable?"
"Of course! Eating it grants you Superpower; who wouldn't be tempted?"
"Then why doesn't that person eat it themselves?"
"Because they're a smart person! In this apocalypse, resources are the most important! Without resources, what good is awakening Superpower? You'd still starve!"
That said.
In reality, most people, upon finding a Superpower Fruit, would instinctively eat it!
Rather than trading it for resources.
After all, the temptation of Superpower was simply too great! Shen Chuchu looked at the purple fruit in Lin Lang's hand, unable to resist licking her lips, her gaze turning greedy:
"Is that the Superpower Fruit? Eating it grants Superpower?"
She recalled that night—
She and her mother, Wang Cuihua, had escaped from the Black Dragon Society to the Happiness Residential Complex.
Only to encounter a Ferocious Beast in the community! To survive.
She had pushed Wang Cuihua to the ground, feeding her to the Ferocious Beast to buy herself time.
After that.
Tang Lingyu had suddenly appeared, grabbed her hand, and teleported her inside…
That was the power of a superpowered individual!
She couldn't help but fantasize.
If she also obtained such a fruit and awakened Superpower, what would happen?
Would Lin Lang beg her to be with him?
And by then! She could monopolize all of Lin Lang's resources and keep him by her side like a dog, playing with him at will!
Thinking of this.
A sinister smile gradually appeared on her face! Tang Lingyu stared at the fruit, her expression shifting between dark and light.
She had also eaten a similar purple fruit to awaken her teleportation ability!
That was one of her sources of pride!
And now, Lin Lang actually had such a fruit too! Didn't that mean her advantage was about to disappear?
...
Lin Lang did not directly eat the Superpower Fruit.
Instead, he first took a bottle of purified water from Ning Shuangyu and washed the fruit clean.
Watching the purified water flow onto the ground.
People couldn't help but swallow hard—
Oh my God!
This is outrageous!
We're all parched, and this guy is washing a fruit?!
It was hard to tell whether to call him meticulous or wasteful! They practically wished they could rush over and catch it with their mouths!
After Lin Lang washed the fruit clean, he didn't eat it himself but casually handed it to Lü Suran beside him: "You eat it."
Now, Gu Fei had already eaten the Intuition fruit and the Wood fruit.
Ning Shuangyu had also eaten the Physical Fruit and the Intuition fruit.
They both possessed two types of Superpower at the same time.
And just as Ning Shuangyu had said before—having more Superpower wasn't necessarily better; a mix could hinder progress.
Therefore.
Lin Lang chose to give this fruit to Lü Suran.
Lü Suran held the fruit but felt a bit nervous, glancing at Gu Fei and Ning Shuangyu:
"Me? Isn't that inappropriate…"
Gu Fei and Ning Shuangyu smiled and urged:
"Be good, eat it."
Seeing this scene.
Everyone was dumbfounded:
"Such a precious fruit, just given away so casually?"
"Lin Lang is actually this good to his women?!"
"Isn't that obvious! Look at those three goddesses, which one isn't pampered and delicate? Doesn't that say it all?"
"I thought he was so rude to Tang Lingyu; I assumed he treated all women like that!"
"Looks like the boss is only nice to his own women!"
"I'm so envious! Boss, do you need a man? I can be both aggressive and submissive!"
...
And Shen Chuchu, watching all of this from the side.
Felt as if the sky was falling!
That was a Superpower Fruit!
Eating it could awaken Superpower! Why wouldn't Lin Lang eat it himself but give it to someone else?! Could it be!
He really had fallen for those women?!
Even willing to give them such a precious thing?
No! This can't be!
Lin Lang can only love me! Even if he wants to give, it should be to me! Shen Chuchu gritted her teeth, clenching her fists tightly!
Clearly, everything Lin Lang had now should belong to her! But for some reason! Lin Lang just wouldn't admit his mistakes, wouldn't come back to her! What was the problem?
She was extremely troubled! "Is this what you call Lin Lang treating them as tools?"
At this moment.
Tang Lingyu, standing nearby, let out a cold laugh.
Shen Chuchu stubbornly retorted:
"He's just putting on a show!"
But what terrified her was! The next moment! Tang Lingyu actually walked straight towards Lin Lang! She approached Lin Lang, lowered her head obediently, and spoke softly:
"I'm sorry, I was too ungrateful before."
"Do I still have a chance for the all-inclusive offer you mentioned earlier?"
"I'm willing to follow you for a lifetime, to listen to you."
Hiss—
The crowd on the scene.
Had already lost count of how many times they had gasped in shock today! But there was nothing they could do! What had happened today was simply too astonishing!
They had thought! Since Lin Lang had been so rude to Tang Lingyu, there would be no possibility between them anymore!
After all!
As long as Tang Lingyu had a shred of dignity, she wouldn't submit to a man who had humiliated her! But unexpectedly!
At this moment!
Tang Lingyu took the initiative to approach him!
"This! Is this the method of the boss Lin Lang?!"
"Masterfully manipulating human emotions!"
"Everything is in his grasp!"
"Come with me!"
"Paying respects to the ancestor!!!"
