Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality

Chapter 1485: Chapter 746: Brothers Sharing the Same Pants (Part 2)

The large fields in the outskirts were barren, swarms of locusts flying by, leaving no greenery in their path.

"These locusts are too fierce, their numbers are overwhelming, we simply can’t eradicate them completely in a short time, the people are harvesting nothing. And added to that, the stored grain has been stolen, which is why..."

Chen Jie was full of guilt: "I’m sorry, Brother Lin. I couldn’t complete the task you assigned to me..."

"It’s not your fault."

Lin Beichen frowned slightly, then turned his head.

"The urgent task is to revitalize the city’s economy so the people can eat, avoid more deaths from hunger, that’s the real good deed!"

"But how should we do it?"

Chen Jie’s face was bitter, he clearly had thought about this but couldn’t find a solution.

Lin Beichen exhaled: "Let’s start with these locusts."

"Locusts? What use could they possibly have?"

Lin Beichen gave a slight smile and whispered something in Chen Jie’s ear. Chen Jie’s face changed dramatically.

"Will this work?"

"Why wouldn’t it? What could be worse than starving to death?"

Chen Jie reluctantly nodded and agreed.

The people from the two cities were organized by Chen Jie; his coordination skills were strong, and he quickly arranged for the residents to catch locusts in an orderly manner. The processing and later production of the locusts were almost entirely supervised by Lin Beichen himself.

With Lin Beichen’s clever ideas, the locusts, once hated and avoided by the people, were caught in large numbers. Following Lin Beichen’s method, they were cleaned and fried, then seasoned to create three flavors: original, spicy, and five-spice.

At first, the people thought Lin Beichen was mad.

But once they tasted the delicious locusts, they dug in heartily. Thus, the hunger issue of the people in the two cities was resolved.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the second stage of the Illusion Realm trial, cultivation of benevolence, and completion of two-thirds of the Path of the Heart!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully achieving the Heart of the World achievement, gaining one thousand Faith Value points!"

The two trials given by the system to Lin Beichen were completed, leaving Lin Beichen quite satisfied!

Watching the smiles return to the faces of the city folk, Lin Beichen felt incredibly comfortable inside.

"Ding! The host has successfully completed the two stages of the Illusion Realm cultivation and is about to return to the real world, please prepare!"

"Ding, system transfer preparation in progress, countdown seventy seconds!"

The two more system prompts made Lin Beichen a bit anxious.

He had many unfinished tasks but had to return at this moment.

He quickly turned to look at Chen Jie, informing him of the follow-up plan to sell the locusts as delicious snacks and treats to generate revenue for the two cities, then disappeared in a milk-white glow.

"Huff... huff..."

Lin Beichen panted heavily.

In the morning, he was out jogging.

Since returning from the Illusion Realm to reality, a few days had passed.

Lin Beichen wasn’t in a hurry to do other things but chose to rest at home, watch TV, browse his phone, giving himself a small break.

He initially planned to take a long vacation, at least more than half a month.

However, it was only the third day.

A call came in.

"Hello, who is it? ... Huff... huff..."

Lin Beichen answered the call while panting.

On the other end, hearing Lin Beichen’s voice, couldn’t help but give a mischievous smile.

"Oh, sorry, old classmate, seems like you’re busy with something big early in the morning. Once you’re done, call me back, how long will it take? An hour or two? But with your stamina, it might take two hours."

Lin Beichen stopped in his tracks: "What are you thinking? I’m jogging, so I’m a bit tired. What’s up, just say it."

The caller was an old classmate, Chen Bin.

He didn’t know what prompted Chen Bin to call this time.

Thinking back to the past, the two had joined the special forces together.

At the time, they had a great relationship, like brothers.

But later, Chen Bin got injured on a mission, had to retire.

Later, he heard he went to Yun Province to become a police officer.

He didn’t explain in detail what he did specifically.

After all, he was usually busy "leveling up and fighting monsters", and didn’t like to engage much with the outside world.

So except for specially close friends, no one could really contact him.

"Oh, that’s how it is, seems I misunderstood you."

"Speak, what’s the matter, hurry up and say it, I still need to run another five thousand meters after this."

To Lin Beichen’s words, Chen Bin just laughed.

"Seems you’re still the same after all these years, you kept training, your skills should be even better, right? Haven’t regressed, have you?"

"Of course I haven’t regressed, only got stronger."

However, Lin Beichen cut to the chase directly with these pleasantries.

"What exactly are you looking for me for? Hurry up and say it, or I’ll hang up."

"Alright, alright, let’s get serious."

Chen Bin’s tone suddenly became serious.

"I’m now working as a narcotics officer in Yun Province, recently dismantled a drug trafficking ring, but didn’t expect a few key figures escaped."

Chen Bin narrated his situation to Lin Beichen.

"Later, the wife and daughter of one of our colleagues, along with company employees, went on a team-building trip abroad, only to be held hostage by the local drug traffickers."

"I’ve thought it over, but couldn’t think of a better solution. Because this involves diplomatic issues between two countries.

To try to rescue them is very hard. You know, the police there, during the day they’re officers, but at night they could be accomplices.

So, I thought of you. I believe that if you handle this, you’ll surely succeed in rescuing the hostages."

Back in the day, Lin Beichen broke many records at the Special Forces Academy in terms of achievements.

So, Chen Bin has always greatly admired Lin Beichen’s skills and abilities.

He even felt they were people from two different worlds, as his ability was indeed inferior to Lin Beichen’s.

But fortunately, they were comrades-in-arms, they were friends.

So, encountering such a major hostage situation, Chen Bin thought of Lin Beichen right away.

Thinking that if he could contact him, he might be able to solve this matter well.

After all, now Lin Beichen’s status was vastly different than before.

If he stepped in to solve this, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Moreover, Lin Beichen had already executed many missions, many of which posed no real hardships to him, with cases even more challenging than the current one.

Ultimately, Lin Beichen solved them effortlessly.

So, much of the Special Forces Academy held great respect for Lin Beichen.

"What do you think? Consider what I told you. Of course, if you’re willing to rescue the hostages, that would be best. If not, we won’t force you, as this is merely a personal request of mine."

Such a personal request, strictly speaking, indeed seems a bit inappropriate.

But in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are necessary.

The drug traffickers are specifically targeting this tour group.

It’s meant to inflict greater psychological trauma on the border narcotics officers.

So they want to torment those police officers this way.

But this matter can’t be condoned, can’t be allowed.

After hearing this, Lin Beichen also understood that the matter couldn’t brook delay, time couldn’t be wasted.

Because the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it is for the hostages.

Thus, Lin Beichen didn’t hesitate to express on the phone that he could take on the task.

"Okay, since you called me, what else can I say? I’ll certainly help resolve this matter.

Now, quickly book me a plane ticket. It’s going to cost me quite a bit to come and go.

You know I’m usually very thrifty, so..."

"Alright, alright, I know you’re a ’stingy’ guy. Rest assured, this time, internally we’ll transfer some money over specifically for this hostage rescue. Both ways tickets will also be arranged immediately."

Chen Bin was very happy to know that Lin Beichen was willing to help.

After all, as long as Lin Beichen makes a move, the probability of resolving the matter smoothly is almost certain.

That is, the task will be completed one hundred percent, and will be done beautifully.

So, on his end of the line, Chen Bin sighed a relief.

"Good, good, many thanks to you, brother. After you complete the mission and come back, let’s gather with our old classmates."

"Sure, we have not gathered with old classmates for a long time. Once the task is complete, let’s have the gathering at your place."

After hanging up the call, Lin Beichen’s phone received a text message, notifying him of a flight to Yun Province, an hour later.

Thus, Lin Beichen ended his run, returned home, changed into appropriate clothing, and brought along some necessary gear, then set off towards his destination.

One hour later, he arrived at Yun Province without a hitch.
