Do you dare to bet?
Feng Lin asked directly.
The Head Butler instinctively wanted to retort, but when the words came out of his mouth, he forcefully suppressed the impulse and fell into deep thought.
Feng Lin's sharp senses detected his reaction and sighed silently.
This Head Butler was really a sly old fox. It was too difficult to trick him. Unfortunately, he was so close to succeeding.
Was it a bet?
The Head Butler fell into deep thought, his heart stirred.
But he felt something was wrong.
How difficult was it to get into Interstellar University?
Every Interstellar University recruited students from all interstellar humans in the universe. There were only so many places, a few thousand at most. And how many students there were in the entire universe every year? There were probably trillions, and the competition was fierce. The admission rate was one in ten thousand, one in a million … or even one in a hundred million?
Feng Lin's vitality was 1.5, and he was just an apprentice. He was still far from becoming a real cultivator. How could he get into Interstellar University?
In the history of the Feng family, no one could rely on them, let alone a low-grade clansman.
Although there were still seven to eight months until the college entrance exam, it was impossible for him to cross such a huge gap from an apprentice to a real cultivator in such a short time, let alone get into the Interstellar University!
In the end, didn't he still return to work obediently?
The Head Butler didn't think that a mere low-grade clansman could break the family's record and get into Interstellar University.
He finally felt that something was wrong.
No, something was wrong!
He was almost tricked by this kid!
If he agreed, he would gain freedom if he won. If he lost, he could delay his internship at the factory for half a year. He wouldn't lose anything.
Unknowingly, as the person in charge of the family's rules, he would also violate the rules. If everyone imitated him, wouldn't they go against the heavens in the end?!
My goodness, what a good plan!
No, he definitely couldn't say that.
Looking at Feng Lin's calm expression, the Head Butler secretly sighed in his heart. Although this kid was young and had a demonic temperament, he was still too inexperienced!
A mocking and cold smile appeared on his face. Praise was praise, but don't even think about taking advantage of the loophole in the family's rules!
The family rules couldn't be violated! No one could!
"What a joke. It's your duty to fulfill your duty. You can't shirk it. What qualifications do you have to gamble with it? As a member of the clan, you should obediently abide by the clan's rules. Don't daydream. The clan won't make a bet with you! "The Head Butler coldly spoke. Although he was smiling, his words were cold and emotionless, causing Feng Lin to sink to the bottom of the valley.
Feng Lin furrowed his brows. He didn't expect that the Head Butler wouldn't even give him a chance to bet.
He said in a low voice, "Don't tell me that as the steward of the clan, the Head Steward doesn't even have this little bit of courage! How could a small worker in a factory be of any help to the family? If you won, I'd go back to work obediently. If you lost, the family would obtain an interstellar university student. Wasn't this the greatest benefit? Why not? “
"What a joke!" The butler did not hide the disdain on his face. "Don't play tricks with me! Goading won't work on me. If you could get into Interstellar University, wouldn't the countless seniors and geniuses of the Feng Clan become useless? If they can't do it, can you? At the end of the day, this was just an excuse to skip the internship! Let me tell you, this is impossible! The clan's rules aren't something you can challenge. If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame the clan for punishing you! "
It was a complete threat, giving Feng Lin an ultimatum.
Feng Lin's expression was as solemn as water. He felt pressure from the bottom of his heart.
This rotten clan had a strict hierarchy that made it hard for people to breathe. The rules were like chains that wrapped around one's body. There was no freedom at all. It made people want to escape immediately.
But now, this Head Butler didn't even give him a chance to bet. He was clearly forcing him to a dead end!
The Head Butler looked at Feng Lin's helpless and hopeless face with satisfaction. Everything was under his control.
"It's not that I don't want to give you a chance! It's very simple if you want to get rid of the internship! " His eyes flashed and he spoke with interest. He was looking forward to Feng Lin's next reaction. Would it be despair? Despair? Or despair?
"What should I do?" Feng Lin asked in a low voice. He didn't believe that this Head Butler would be so kind. The conditions were definitely hard to come by.
But for his own future, no matter how difficult it was, he had to try.
"There are two ways! One is to become a true interstellar cultivator before you start your internship. At that time, the clan will fully support you to take the college entrance exam and enter the Interstellar University. The other is to compensate the clan for raising you. One million star coins. Then you can leave the clan and gain your freedom! "The Head Butler smiled with ill intentions.
"What?" Feng Lin's gaze turned gloomy. There were only three weeks left before the internship. It was impossible to become an interstellar cultivator in such a short period of time. The other option was to ask for one million star coins. Where did he have so much money? Wasn't this robbery?
Moreover, he was a low-grade clansman. Since he was young, what did the clan provide him with? Low-grade nutrient fluids, low-grade nutrient fluids, and low-grade nutrient fluids!
One million star coins?
This was the biggest joke in the world!
Seeing that Feng Lin didn't speak for a long time, the Head Butler's smile turned cold. "No cultivation! No money? Then what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me? Do you think the clan is a charity? We raised you painstakingly, yet you want to be an ingrate and avoid responsibility! You only have two choices now. Either you obediently take up the position or you pay the child support fees. Otherwise, don't mention anything! "
He laughed coldly, admiring Feng Lin's unwilling yet helpless expression of despair.
Feng Lin pursed his lips, unwilling to give up just like this.
He knew that he couldn't back down. Otherwise, he would never have a chance to turn things around.
"I refuse!" Although he knew that the consequences would be unimaginable, Feng Lin still gave his answer.
Because at this stage, he had no other way out.
"What?" Feng Lang, who was at the side, was truly stunned. This fellow was courting death. The Head Butler had clearly told him that it was impossible, yet he didn't back down. How could the Head Butler let him off?
Feng Lang seemed to have seen Feng Lin's miserable ending.
Reality was developing as he had expected.
"Say that again?" The Head Butler's expression immediately turned gloomy when he heard that. A dense aura rose from his body, condensing into a corporeal form and pressing down.
That mountain-like pressure from before descended once again. If it was said to be a small mountain before, now it was as heavy as Mount Tai pressing down on him.
Feng Lin tried his best to straighten his spine, unwilling to bend his waist.
Creak, creak.
His spine couldn't bear the pressure and creaked as if it was going to break.
A man's spine couldn't be broken. Once it was broken, he would never be able to straighten it again.
Feng Lin's face was filled with grievance. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails piercing into his palms and fresh blood dripping down.
This so-called power couldn't suppress him!
Was this the power of an interstellar cultivator? How much was his vitality? 10? 20？ Or even …
He had never felt so weak before. He had an incomparable thirst to become stronger.
It was a pity that he still lacked the time and opportunity. Before he could truly become stronger, the pressure of fate was already right before his eyes.
Otherwise, why would he have to suffer such humiliation? He would have long turned the world upside down with his fists!
Seeing that he still refused to admit defeat, the Head Butler finally lost his patience.
He casually waved his hand and a strong gust of wind swept over. Feng Lin's body was like a sandbag, flying out without any ability to resist. He slammed heavily into the metal wall and fell to the ground.
"Men! Feng Lin has violated the clan's rules. He will be punished to be locked up for a week. If he commits another offense, he will be forcefully escorted to the clan's factory! " The Head Butler coldly said. Although he felt that Feng Lin was guilty, his crime didn't warrant death. He gave him the most severe punishment!
The door opened without a sound, and three strong men in black walked in aggressively, their expressions unfriendly.
This was the clan's law enforcement team. Everyone's vitality was above 3.0 and had a ferocious aura. They coldly smiled as they surrounded Feng Lin.
Feng Lin stood up shakily and let out a deep bellow. He broke free from their arms. "There's no need for you guys. I can walk by myself!"
After saying that, he threw a disdainful glance at the Head Butler and left with his head held high. He didn't bend his back at all!
Feng Lang, who was at the side, was stunned.
Good fellow, he was really a man!
The Head Butler coldly stared at Feng Lin's departing figure. His face was expressionless as if he was looking at a dead object.
He hadn't become an interstellar cultivator and wanted to go against the clan's rules? Dream on!
He slowly rubbed his palms and clenched his fingers. It was as if this was the Five Finger Mountain of Buddha.
Feng Lin was like a monkey in his palm. No matter how much he jumped …
