Returning to the mountain village, starting with mushroom picking to get rich

"Incredible."

"That's so cool!"

Upon hearing Yang Lin's admission, Bianchi suddenly stood up excitedly from his seat and cast a look of admiration at Yang Lin.

Yang Lin smiled faintly, offering no further explanation.

"Perhaps you don't know, but I have a deep longing for those mysterious powers..." Bianchi began to speak at length.

Although revolutions have occurred in various European countries since the 20th century, and the various privileges of the nobility have been gradually abolished, many nobles have lost their political monopoly and become mere figureheads with only symbolic significance.

However, even so, Bianchi, who was born into nobility, had advantages that many people could not achieve in their entire lives.

Growing up, he never had to worry about material things, but gradually turned his interest to the occult.

He was the largest philanthropist and fundraiser at the Alba Church.

The local bishop treated him like a brother, and the surrounding pastors often prayed for him.

His footprints can be found in almost every famous and mysterious place in Europe.

As the saying goes, distance makes the heart grow fonder, and a stranger in the woods can chant the sutras better.

Unfortunately, this was an era in which materialism prevailed.

After a long period of contact and a deep enough understanding, Bianchi felt disillusioned and disappointed with the content of Western local occultism.

In the distant East, there lies an ancient civilization whose heritage has never been interrupted and has continued for thousands of years, naturally shrouded in mystery.

Especially after the rise of some kung fu movies.

That extraordinary power called Kung Fu has become a unique impression of China for many Westerners.

Upon suddenly spotting Yang Lin, who might be skilled in martial arts, Bianchi could not contain his excitement.

"Mr. Yang, I wonder where you learned your martial arts. If possible, I would like to visit the Dragon Kingdom."

"Sir, it is very rude of you to pry into other people's secrets. I cannot answer this question."

As he spoke, Yang Lin's gaze sharpened, and he stared directly at Bianchi.

At the same time, just as Yang Lin was staring at Bianchi, the dormant mycelium that had been lurking on Bianchi's body when the two shook hands earlier immediately began to move.

It was active on Bianchi for a fleeting moment.

So, the moment Bianchi's gaze met Yang Lin's, his heart suddenly trembled and his body involuntarily shook.

Even breathing seemed to slow down.

"I'm sorry, please forgive my rudeness just now. That question was indeed too abrupt." Upon hearing Yang Lin's refusal, Bianchi quickly apologized.

Their respectful attitude was completely unexpected by Yang Lin.

If the video from the streets of Rome only made him suspect that the Chinese businessman in front of him might have mastered the legendary kung fu...

Now, all of Bianchi's doubts have turned into certainty.

What a terrifying look that was.

Just one glance at him and his life seemed to flicker like a candle in the wind.

"No need to be so nervous, Mr. Baron," Yang Lin smiled and continued.

"The world is always changing, isn't it?"

"Although this question is currently taboo, perhaps one day when the time is right, you can ask me, and I can tell you—the answer to kung fu, or give you the possibility of mastering kung fu."

"If that's the case, then that's wonderful, Mr. Yang, you're a godsend for me," Bianchi said, still shaken.

Even now, he hasn't recovered from the shock he just experienced.

Before he knew it, Bianchi's back was already soaked with sweat.

The housekeeper brought over a bottle of wine at the right moment, and Yang Lin raised his glass and smiled in acknowledgment.

The fine-tuning of the controls is quite demanding.

To achieve this effect, the activity level and toxin production of each mycelium must be controlled within an extremely delicate range.

Fortunately, Bianchi is not the first guinea pig.

Before he appeared, Yang Lin was already quite experienced in "poisonous skills".

It allows for appropriate retaliation without going too far.

His ability wasn't exactly martial arts.

However, creating the poison attack effect found in martial arts is not a difficult task.

It is even more terrifying and has greater potential than the poison-based techniques in the martial arts system.

When Yang Lin offered a toast, Bianqi quickly raised his glass in return.

This is a bottle of Sassicaia, the premier Italian wine and one of the most expensive wines in the world.

It is also a treasure from one of his wine banks.

This one cup alone is worth over 100,000 yuan.

However, compared to the opportunity to come into contact with mysterious forces, even the most precious wine is not worth much.

The dark red wine eased the atmosphere at the banquet considerably after being consumed.

Bianchi has fully recovered, but he is still somewhat unwilling to give up:

"Since Mr. Yang says that I also have a chance to master kung fu in the future, please allow me to ask if there is any news from your side? How long will it take before the time is right for the electric shock you mentioned?"

"There's an old saying in our Dragon Kingdom: 'To test jade, it must be burned for three days; to discern talent, it must be waited for seven years,'" Yang Lin said. "I hope you understand that this will be a long process."

"Before the time is right, I think we should cooperate more so that I can get to know the Baron from various specific matters and judge whether he is trustworthy and can be taught secret skills."

Upon hearing this, Bianchi's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope: "You're right, we should indeed cooperate, and I should also demonstrate my reliability."

"As you know, my public identity is that of an edible fungus merchant, so our initial cooperation will focus on the edible fungus sector," Yang Lin said.

He has numerous sources of edible fungi in Longguo, including but not limited to matsutake mushrooms.

While the domestic market for edible fungi is certainly large enough, the more channels for the dissemination of the fungi created by Yang Lin, the better.

If Bianqi, this local tyrant, is willing to do things for him.

He wouldn't mind giving the other party some benefits someday in the future.

After all, for him, the idea of ​​using mycelium to enhance the human body is also a very good direction.

Kung Fu can be a good form of expression.

"If Mr. Yang can provide test reports for his mushrooms and they are exported to Europe through legal channels, I can offer him the most generous price," Bianchi said firmly.

Although the reason given was to organize the international matsutake mushroom exhibition and auction, in order to demonstrate basic impartiality, Bianchi preferred to sit in his office, chatting and laughing with other businessmen, revealing some inside information, and receiving benefits from them, without actually participating in the transactions.

However, with his influence, there are virtually no obstacles to entering the European edible mushroom market.

……

"Cheers to the future, and best wishes for a pleasant collaboration."

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely not let you down."

After agreeing on the direction and framework of the cooperation, the banquet finally returned to normal.

During this time, Yang Lin learned that Bian had not yet started operating and was not in competition with Xianglong Company. He then asked Bian who came up with the idea of ​​targeting Xianglong Company at the exhibition.

Bianchi hesitated for a moment, thinking of Yang Lin's terrifying power and how he needed to rely on him to learn real kung fu.

He then revealed that Morgan and several other businessmen had bribed him to reveal what he was doing regarding Yang Lin.
