Chapter 385: Chapter 385
Lin Yi, who was on the side, found it very amusing as well.
This bunch of guys meeting someone like Li Huiqun was truly their bad luck.
But before Lin Yi could say anything, his phone rang again.
Looking at the number, a playful smile appeared on Lin Yi’s lips. He then extended his hand to show the number to Li Huiqun and said:
"Look, it’s those guys who want to send people to the sun at night, still not giving up on cooperating with us. But cooperation isn’t impossible; just the conditions suitable for others won’t apply to them."
The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously tried to suppress their laughter. Obviously, they had the same idea. Taking advantage of these Koreans without making them pay wouldn’t be justifiable, would it?
Just as Lin Yi was about to pick up the call, a notification suddenly sounded in his mind:
[Ding, it has been detected that the host’s group amassed USD 10 billion in foreign currency wealth from countries outside Huaxia by its own strength! The system determines that the host’s fifth task has been completed!
From the task release date, it took one month and seventeen days to complete. The system determines the completion rate at 135%.
The system specially recognizes the host’s excess completion, awarding a 35% reduction in the difficulty of the fifth task.
Task cumulative completion rate: 5/10. Would the host like to release the sixth system task?
Additionally, a special reminder...
If the sixth task fails, the system will automatically downgrade to level one and will close upgrading tasks permanently, remaining at level one forever.
Furthermore, the opportunity for daily decomposition and recombination will be reduced to once per quarter.
Please make your decision within three minutes. Exceeding three minutes will mean the system automatically regards the host as having forfeited the task, downgrading to level one and permanently staying at level one.]
This voice clearly rang in Lin Yi’s mind, instantly freezing him in place.
The phone in his hand wasn’t even picked up in time.
Seeing Lin Yi’s stunned state, Li Huiqun didn’t know what had happened, so he hurriedly asked.
However, Lin Yi couldn’t respond to Li Huiqun’s inquiry in time.
He just tossed the phone into Li Huiqun’s arms, saying, "Handle it yourself for now. I have urgent matters to take care of, so don’t disturb me."
After saying this, he didn’t bother with Li Huiqun anymore, quickly opened the door, and sprinted back to his room.
With a bang, he slammed the door shut and, without even sitting down, he shouted in his mind:
"System, system, what was your notification just now? I didn’t hear it clearly! Tell me again!!"
Indeed, the earlier event was too sudden, and before Lin Yi could react, the system’s voice had already ended.
Even as the system was speaking the latter half, Li Huiqun was calling him on the side, distracting him.
Of course, he didn’t completely miss it; he only heard that the fifth system task was apparently completed.
But every word in the system tasks is crucial, and missing a single word could lead to significant misunderstandings.
This concerns his future fate—it’s crucial for Lin Yi to treat it with caution.
The system, being quite helpful, immediately replayed the notification in his mind at Lin Yi’s request:
[Ding, detecting the host’s group as having...
Remaining countdown: 46 seconds.]
With the system’s repeated explanation, Lin Yi finally understood this time, though he almost cursed.
Darn it! Never mind what the sixth task is, just having only 46 seconds left to decide is enough to give someone a headache.
With this brief moment of thinking, there’s probably less than half a minute left by now.
There’s just no time given to hesitate!
Thinking of this, Lin Yi didn’t have time to ponder any further, so he straightforwardly said, "Accept the task."
After all, having come this far in the tasks, Lin Yi certainly wouldn’t give up.
Even if the system had given him time to consider, Lin Yi would never give up.
No matter how brutal this sixth task might be, it wouldn’t affect Lin Yi’s decision.
After all, Huaxia has a motivational saying: "Death comes to all, not living means tens of thousands of years!"
Whatever it takes, just do it!
[Ding~ Detected the host’s strong willingness to initiate the task, now publishing the sixth system task: The rise and fall of the nation concerns every citizen.
Currently, the host has already made a contribution to national rejuvenation while remembering history at heart.
But there’s an old saying passed down through the ages: The rise and fall of the nation concerns every citizen.
As a fine son of Huaxia, one must strive for Huaxia’s rise!
Task content: The rise and fall of the nation concerns every citizen. Within a year, by your own efforts, help Huaxia elevate three originally average national defense technologies to world number one!
Detected system difficulty reduced by 35%, originally three technologies have been automatically reduced to two!
If the task is not completed within a year, the system will automatically downgrade to level one, and will close upgrading tasks permanently, remaining at level one forever. Furthermore, the opportunity for daily decomposition and recombination will be reduced to once per quarter.
Task completion rate: 0.]
The system’s opening line almost made Lin Yi choke in annoyance.
Oh, a strong willingness to initiate the task, my foot! If it weren’t for you not giving me time to consider, would I be so rushed??
But let’s not dwell on that, let’s talk about this system task first.
Honestly, he was quite surprised by it.
Compared to previous tasks, this sixth task is practically a give-away.
Not to mention the several super world-class equipment he has on hand—just handing them over to Ouyang Lei would complete the task! ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel-fire.ɴet
Simply having the system, Lin Yi thought to himself, such tasks can be accepted as much as there are!
If he had known earlier that the task would be , Lin Yi wouldn’t have hesitated.
Of course, before any task is released, Lin Yi would never know the task content in advance.
And based on past experiences, the difficulty of the system tasks has no pattern to it.
This makes the tasks full of mystery.
"Phew~ System, you’re really something with this task!"
Since this task cannot be rushed and can only be continued after returning to the country, Lin Yi relaxed instead.
But after relaxing, Lin Yi suddenly became puzzled.
This late at night, who transferred a hundred million USD to him??
Logically speaking, the Nuclear Construction Corporation shouldn’t have such transactions??
But suddenly, a person appeared in his mind.
At the same time, he recalled that before accepting the task, he seemed to have received a call from Park Touzhu on his phone.
And now that guy is chatting with Li Huiqun, maybe he’s the one who sent the money.
Thinking this way, he didn’t bother about the sixth system task anymore and walked towards the door.
When he arrived at Li Huiqun’s door, he opened it just a crack and heard Li Huiqun’s loud voice:
"Right, right, everything was invented by you Koreans! We actually don’t have any inventions worth showing, especially ’inventing’ the Korean people, it’s even more unpresentable!"
Uh... Oh, great, those two are still having a big mouth fight? It seems like I’ve been out for quite a while now.
But looking at Li Huiqun, it was clear that he’d won the argument.
Lin Yi still found it quite amusing, no one would have imagined the seemingly meticulous President Li of the Nuclear Construction Corporation could be such a contrarian...
Seeing Lin Yi enter, Li Huiqun glanced at him with a question in his eyes if Lin Yi wanted to take the call.
Lin Yi waved his hand, indicating for him to continue.
And thus, for the following time, Li Huiqun and the other party had a nice discussion on the origins of the name "Korea" and other profound topics.
"President Li, I think we should discuss this topic another day. We’ve just transferred a hundred million USD to your company account according to the same model as your cooperation with other companies. Could you please...
Don’t worry, everyone, tomorrow we’ll conclude this storyline, and Lin Yi will return to the country.
