Chapter 75: Chapter 75 - Ghost Bomber Gang?

After tidying up for more than half an hour, more than a dozen flags with the words ‘Lin Clan’ written on them were created.

“Finally completed!”

Zhang Bao’er heaved a sigh of relief and casually threw the large ‘firestick’ to the side and wiped the sweat off her face.

“Not bad, you’ve practiced well.” Lin Ye took a look.

On the flag was the two characters ‘Lin Clan’. The characters were written in one smooth stroke in a bold yet elegant manner.

Even though he did not know much about calligraphy, he could tell that Zhang Bao’er was definitely not bad at it.

“I’m still far from good.”

Zhang Bao’er shook her head humbly as if she had thought of something. She sighed softly and said, “I learned my calligraphy from grandfather. He was the president of the Calligraphy Association of the largest Song House in China. He taught me all kinds of calligraphy since I was young. I’ve practiced for more than twenty years, but I’ve only gotten a basic grasp of it. I’ve truly let my grandfather down.”

“Your grandfather descended as well?” Lin Ye asked as if he had sensed something.

“No, he didn’t.”

Zhang Bao’er looked up with a bitter expression. “Half a year before the descend, my grandfather died of cancer. Now, only my mother, brother, and I are left on the family channel.”

“What about your father?” Dong Wei, who was also resting, interjected.

“Father… is dead. He died on the first day of his descent…”

At this point, Zhang Bao’er looked a little down.

“…”

The others quickly shut up and Lin Ye gave Dong Wei a meaningful look.

“Sister Bao’er, don’t mind him. Look, compared to him, you’re a little luckier. At least you still have your mother and brother. Old Wang and I are miles away from that.”

Dong Wei had a good attitude as he chuckled lightly. “The two of us are orphans. Someone bothered to give birth to us but couldn’t be bothered to take care of us. We don’t even know our parents’ surnames.”

“Bullshit. You’re the real orphan.”

At this moment, Wang Qiang interrupted and cursed, “I have parents. It’s just that I don’t know them.”

“You have parents? That wasn’t what you said the day before yesterday!” Dong Wei widened his eyes in disbelief.

The two were roommates and had known each other for a long time.

When they first found out that they were both orphans, he was a little touched. The two of them could talk about anything and they hit it off very well.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he had no alcohol and didn’t get drunk, they might have become sworn brothers that night.

Now, the other party suddenly stepped out to say that he wasn’t an orphan and that he had parents.

This was no different from a clap of thunder exploding in Dong Wei’s ears.

“Nonsense. If I don’t have parents, are you expecting me to jump out from a crack in a rock,” Wang Qiang rolled his eyes. “I’m serious. The two people in my family channel, no, I should say four. The two older ones should be my biological parents. The remaining two younger ones are most likely my younger brother and sister.”

“Your family is really capable of giving birth.” Zhang Bao’er opened her mouth and spoke in a sly manner.

Furthermore, after hearing about the matter with Dong Wei and Wang Qiang, she came to a realization.

In this day and age, if goods had to always be compared, they would be thrown away. For humans to compare with each other, it was incredibly repulsive and tiring.

There was no such thing as the worst, only worse. Compared to them, what happened to her was indeed a small matter.

“Maybe that’s why I was given away.”

Wang Qiang sighed. Perhaps because he was used to it, his tone and expression did not show much sadness.

He leaned back against the drum, grabbed a piece of wood, and threw it into the bonfire that had just been lit.

Then, he said in a carefree manner, “In any case, I won’t acknowledge them. Over the past few decades, I’ve been through this alone. It’s not like I can’t live without them. Rather than it being awkward when acknowledged, it’s better to not know them at all.”

“It’s better than nothing. It’s an extra person to miss I guess,” Dong Wei advised.

“Bullsh*t, I’ve already blacklisted them. They shouldn’t only remember that they have a son like me when they’re in trouble.”

Wang Qiang pouted and turned to Lin Ye. He immediately smiled mischievously and said, “My lord, I’ve sold my life to you. I don’t ask for anything else. I don’t have any other abilities but if there’s an excavator or something in the future, my skill in operating excavators is among the top ten in the entire factory.”

“You’ve seen television dramas using excavators to open the cap of beer bottles, right? That was developed by my master and me. If you want to dig for anything, just say the word and I’ll immediately go dig for it.”

“Forget about the excavator. It’s not up to standard.” Lin Ye shook his head. Seeing Wang Qiang’s disappointed gaze, he chuckled and said, “Are you interested in aircraft or tanks? I’ve seen the technology blueprint for them sealed in the Reputation Shop. It should be able to get it once we are upgraded to a certain era.”

“Aircraft, tanks…” Wang Qiang swallowed. His originally gloomy gaze suddenly became passionate.

How could a man who could operate an excavator not be courageous?

In China, he was at a huge disadvantage right from his birth. Adopted by a welfare institute since he was young, he did not have the money or resources to apply for military school.

Which was why he had to settle for learning how to use an excavator instead.

To be honest, this could be considered his dream. A dream that he dared to think of but did not dare to chase.

He originally thought that he would never have a chance in this life, but who would have thought that there would always be a silver lining.

After being rejected by the lord for an excavator job opening, he instead flew straight up and touched his dream.

“Can… can I do that? I only know very little about planes and tanks,” Wang Qiang said nervously.

Apart from his own reasons and excitement, he was more afraid of disappointing his lord.

“Even if you can’t do it, you have to. How can someone from my Lin Clan say that it’s impossible?”

Lin Ye patted Wang Qiang’s shoulder assuringly. “Be firm and confident. If there’s an extra slot for the Elevation Hall at midnight, everyone will have a share. I’ve received information that as long as you are determined to pass the trial and clear your thoughts, the profession which you will get will greatly lean towards your ideal profession.”

“When the time comes, if you can obtain classes like a pilot, flight captain, or tank operator, you can quickly learn them even if you don’t have a foundation.”

“Yes, my lord, don’t worry. I will definitely be able to do it!” Wang Qiang stood up excitedly and replied loudly.

“This is what a young man should be like. Be a little energetic, don’t carry a depressed aura with you all day.” Lin Ye nodded his head.

“F*ck, turns out that I’m an orphan again,” Dong Wei said sourly.

“What orphan? Our Lin Clan is a big family. We are all like biological siblings. In the future, if any of you lack fatherly love, you can look for me or Lin One’s father. If you really can’t, Lin Dachui’s father can be an option as well. We can directly take you in as our godson. Wouldn’t that solve everything?” Tru spoke loudly.

“Scram! Don’t try to take advantage of me,” Dong Wei scolded with a smile. “Just you wait. One day, I’ll go find your biological father and become his sworn brother. I don’t have any other wishes in this life. I want to be a part of your father’s generation.”

“How dare you! Watch out or I’ll get Xu Que to beat you up in the middle of the night!” Tru glared at him threateningly.

“Don’t worry, Commander Tru. Playing dirty is our forte. Recently, I’ve decided to name the thousand-man team under me the Ghost Bomber Gang. If anyone has any private work, feel free to look for me. Be it sneak attacks, bombing Haunted Houses, or zombie killing, we brothers will always be here for you.”

Xu Que said brazenly.

He also officially announced the establishment of the ‘Ghost Bombing Gang’.

As soon as he finished speaking, the thousands of people present roared with laughter.
