Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 231

Mo Ziyuan didn't really understand the new terms she used, such as superpowers, leveling up, and crystal cores, which he had never heard of or seen before, but he understood the problem that Lin Xin was struggling with.

"Why do you insist on leveling all your... special abilities to the same level?" Mo Ziyuan didn't answer her question directly, but instead asked about something he didn't understand.

In his opinion, no one in this world can do everything perfectly, so he couldn't understand Lin Xin's current thoughts.

"Of course it's for..." Lin Xin stammered after saying these words.

Yes, why is it necessary to upgrade everything?
She was already incredibly lucky to have her soul immortalized after death and travel to this unknown time and space in history, along with the superpowers that came with her. The upgrade of her wood-type superpower was also a completely unexpected surprise. Why would she be so greedy and want to upgrade all her superpowers to their ultimate potential?
Once she understood, Lin Xin suddenly realized that all her previous struggles were a joke. She looked up at Mo Ziyuan, and from her angle, she could see her own clear reflection in his dark pupils.

"I was too attached to it. Improving one's abilities is not something that can be done easily. I shouldn't have been too demanding."

"Xin'er, you're already very good. You don't need to do any better, otherwise it would make me seem even more useless." Mo Ziyuan pulled her into his arms, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said in a low voice.

After resolving her own problems, Lin Xin quickly noticed Mo Ziyuan's low spirits and his unspoken inferiority complex. She turned her head to look at the person who was lying on her shoulder like a lost puppy, and gently patted his lean waist. "Ziyuan, Mo Ziyuan."

"Let me hold you for a little while, just a little while." Mo Ziyuan stubbornly refused to look up or let go of her arms.

"Okay, you can hold me." Lin Xin obediently changed to a slightly more comfortable position and leaned against Mo Ziyuan's chest. Her little hands, pressed tightly against his chest, could feel his heart pounding like a drum. She felt both warm and a little amused.

After hugging for a while, Mo Ziyuan finally let go of Lin Xin's arms, looking a little embarrassed as he avoided her gaze, and said, "It's good that you've figured it out. You should rest well. I'll go out now."

Lin Xin grabbed his wrist and, as he turned to look at her, squinted at him and asked, "Are you planning to keep avoiding me like this from now on? Will our engagement be null and void after the war ends and we return to the capital?"

Mo Ziyuan was shocked and quickly turned around. "I wasn't hiding from you, I just... I just..."

He hesitated for a long time without saying anything, then finally sat down on the stool in a dejected tone and said, "I just feel like I'm so useless, a little unworthy of you."

"Idiot!" Lin Xin poked him on the head with a finger. "I'm asking you, is there any rule in this world that says only men can be capable in a family, and women can only be parasites dependent on men? Or do you actually look down on me from the bottom of your heart, think I shouldn't have the ability to be on par with you, and want to suppress me? Hmm?"

As one black pot after another was dumped on his head, Mo Ziyuan panicked and stood up to defend himself: "How could that be? I never thought you should depend on me for a living, and I never thought of suppressing you. I just felt that I was not good enough for you. Don't wrong me!" By the end, his eyes were red with anxiety.

"That had to be! If I find out you're lying, you know what I'm capable of. I could easily kill you without a sound!" Lin Xin threatened, clenching her small fists. Looking at her like this, Mo Ziyuan felt a warm current slowly flowing through his heart. Yes, he knew Xin'er was capable from the very beginning, and after spending so much time together, he understood what kind of person she was. Why did he feel like he was being outshone by Lin Xin?

Thinking of the soldiers' hushed conversation that he had overheard, Mo Ziyuan's eyes darkened. It seemed that this camp was still not clean enough!
"I know I was wrong, Xin'er, please forgive me?" Before dealing with external threats, internal stability must be maintained. Mo Ziyuan temporarily put those soldiers out of his mind, hugged Lin Xin in his arms, and began to apologize.

"Hmph! If you do it again, see how I deal with you!" Lin Xin looked at him arrogantly, raising her chin.

"Yes, my Xin'er is the most magnanimous woman, she certainly won't hold it against me, right?" Since he was just trying to appease his wife, Mo Ziyuan didn't care about his image at all.

"Pfft!" Lin Xin couldn't help but laugh at his unprecedented antics. She stopped pretending to be serious and instead cupped his face in her hands, looking intently into his eyes, and said, "Mo Ziyuan, I don't like you like this."

"I know, it won't happen again," Mo Ziyuan assured him earnestly.

"Then I'll believe you this time."

After letting go of the burden of upgrading her superpowers, Lin Xin felt much more relaxed than before. She learned from her previous mistakes and began to discuss with Mo Ziyuan how to actively find ways to defeat their enemies.

The Western Rong region is located on the grasslands, which is a good place to raise horses. Therefore, the Western Rong cavalry are extremely fierce and have explosive combat power. Lin Xin thought of starting from this aspect. After all, cavalry without warhorses is like a tiger without teeth. No matter how powerful they look, they are actually as fragile as paper.

"What are you planning to do? Just make all the grass on the grassland wither and die?" Mo Ziyuan was a little curious about how she would do it. Ever since he resolved his inner conflict, he had begun to spare no effort in exploring the various uses of Lin Xin's superpower, and he enjoyed it immensely, which annoyed Lin Xin to no end. She even began to regret why she had said anything back then. She should have just let him feel inferior for a while longer!

"We definitely can't do that. If all the grass on the grassland withers and dies overnight, that would be too miraculous. I want to live a carefree life!" Lin Xin rolled her eyes at him and said. Such a thing would be too big and would definitely spread like wildfire. At that time, public opinion would be hard to control, and who knows what would happen? She was determined to be a lazy bum and absolutely could not leave such a hidden danger.

If Mo Ziyuan knew what she was thinking, he would definitely scoff. She wanted to be a lazy bum? Look at all the things she's done, none of them could achieve that goal. She's not destined to be a lazy bum!
Unaware that Mo Ziyuan was secretly cursing himself, Lin Xin thought carefully and then said to him, "I think we should put some poisonous plants in the grassland where they usually raise horses. That way, even if the warhorses are poisoned to death, it won't cause too much of a commotion."

Mo Ziyuan: "..."

He looked at Lin Xin with an expression that said, "You're really wasting her talent," and felt that he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Those were warhorses of the Western Rong. They had to steal them even if they wanted to buy them with silver. And she actually wanted to poison them!

"What's wrong? Is this method not working?" Lin Xin asked curiously, thinking her method was excellent!
