Superbase Evolution

Chapter 15 The Key to the Path to Power
Lin Shen stared at Concubine Bai for a long time without saying anything. He didn't quite believe what Concubine Bai said.

If there really was something like that in Hulu Mountain, why would Bai Shenfei give him the chance? Just because he was Bai Shenfei's senior's younger brother?

Even if we take a step back and say that Concubine Bai is really his little fangirl as Lin Xiangdong said, it is impossible for her to give up such an opportunity just because of Lin Xiangdong's entrustment, right?
What's more, the facts are very different from what Lin Xiangdong said. Concubine Bai is definitely not the little fangirl that Lin Xiangdong said.

"You don't believe me?" Concubine Bai understood Lin Shen's strange look.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not." After a pause, Lin Shen said sincerely, "A long time ago, my brothers and I had an agreement that the glory of the Lin family would be carried by them, and I would only be responsible for passing on the bloodline of the Lin family. Compared to becoming the strongest man under the stars, I want to pass on the bloodline of the Lin family, especially in this situation."

"It's too late." Concubine Bai listened to Lin Shen quietly and suddenly sighed.

"What do you mean it's late?" Lin Shen was slightly stunned. He didn't know what Concubine Bai meant by saying this without any context.

"If you had said that before I went to the Qi and Wang families, I could still stay in the base. But it's too late now." Concubine Bai said helplessly.

"Why?" Lin Shen still didn't understand what Concubine Bai meant.

"I have already made an agreement with the Qi and Wang families to take them to Hulu Mountain." said Concubine Bai.

"You took them to Hulu Mountain, what does this have to do with me?" Lin Shen frowned.

"If you had not participated in the recruitment meeting and had not shown such strong abilities, it would naturally have nothing to do with you. But now it is different. Do you think that with all the elites from the Qi and Wang families out, they will keep you in the base?" said Concubine Bai.

Lin Shen's face changed slightly. Just like the Lin family was on guard against the Qi and Wang families, they were also on guard against the Lin family.

With all the elites from the other two families out, it is impossible for them to leave Lin Shen, the fake Lin Xiangdong, at the base. Even if they have to force him, they will definitely take him with them.

Now Lin Shen has no way to explain that he is not Lin Xiangdong. Even if he can make them believe that he is not Lin Xiangdong, he cannot explain how he subdued the speeding gunman with one blow. It will only make the Qi and Wang families more wary, and they may even join forces to control the Lin family first.

If one thinks more darkly, it is very likely that the Qi and Wang families have long known that he is not Lin Xiangdong, and even his impersonation of Lin Xiangdong is a conspiracy set up by the Qi and Wang families.

It was simply an excuse to capture Lin Shen and forcibly take him to Hulu Mountain.

After all, Hulu Mountain was discovered by the Lin family, and the second, third and fourth masters of the Lin family all went to Hulu Mountain. If Lin Shen was plotted against by the Lin family, they could also take Lin Shen as a hostage.

But they didn't expect that Lin Shen would have such terrifying abilities, which made it even more impossible to keep him in the base.

"Senior Sister Bai, if it was really Fourth Brother who asked you to escort me into Hulu Mountain, why did you tell the Qi and Wang families the news about Hulu Mountain?" Lin Shen stared at Concubine Bai and asked.

"This is also Senior Brother Lin's arrangement." Concubine Bai did not seem to intend to explain in detail.

Lin Shen stared at Concubine Bai for a long time, but because of the mosaic, he couldn't see Concubine Bai's expression and eyes at all.

After a long while, Lin Shen sighed and said, "It seems that I have to go this time even if I don't want to. Senior Sister Bai, I just have one last question. Since Hulu Mountain has such an opportunity that can make people become the strongest under the starry sky, why don't you want it?"

"You remembered it wrong. I said the strongest man under the starry sky, not the strongest person under the starry sky. Getting that thing is just a possibility. There is still a big difference between having the possibility of becoming rich and being rich." Concubine Bai's tone was flat, but there was an unquestionable toughness in her voice.

Concubine Bai’s meaning was very clear. Even if Lin Shen obtained the things from Hulu Mountain, he would only have the possibility of becoming the strongest man. However, she, Concubine Bai, was stronger than the strongest man and was the strongest under the starry sky.

"Senior Sister Bai is really confident. If I understand correctly, you already have that thing, right?" Lin Shen said.

"If you don't have confidence, there's no need to embark on this path of evolution." Bai Shenfei said calmly: "Do you plan to go to Hulu Mountain as Lin Xiangdong or Lin Shen?"

"Don't the Qi and Wang families know that fourth brother went to Hulu Mountain?" Lin Shen looked at Concubine Bai with disbelief.

Concubine Bai did not tell the Qi and Wang families that the third and fourth brothers had gone to Hulu Mountain. How could they possibly send all their elites to follow Concubine Bai to Hulu Mountain?

"I only know that Senior Brother Lin and your third brother went to Hulu Mountain, and I told them the same thing. I don't know anything else." Concubine Bai seemed to have something else in her words.

After a brief thought, Lin Shen understood the deeper meaning of her words.

The Qi and Wang families already knew that Lin Xiangdong had gone to Hulu Mountain, but they didn't know whether Lin Xiangdong had returned, so theoretically they couldn't be sure whether the person who attended the recruitment meeting was Lin Xiangdong, unless they knew early on that Lin Shen was impersonating Lin Xiangdong.

"Then I will go as the fourth brother, and ask Senior Sister Bai to help me cover up a little." Lin Shen thought for a while and said. Hearing this, Concubine Bai laughed: "You want to test Lao Ye?"

"Senior Sister Bai, you're worrying too much." Lin Shen neither admitted nor denied it.

"This is your own business. I am only responsible for escorting you into Hulu Mountain." Concubine Bai didn't say anything else.

"Then I'm sorry to inconvenience you, Senior Sister Bai. When in front of others, I can only call you Junior Sister." Lin Shen said.

"It's just a title, it doesn't matter. You should get ready. I have already made an agreement with the Qi and Wang families. We will set off for Hulu Mountain the day after tomorrow morning." After saying this, Concubine Bai stood up and left.

"I don't know who got angry immediately after hearing the name of Little Concubine." Lin Shen secretly complained in his heart, but said, "What is in Hulu Mountain? How could the Qi and Wang families believe it so easily?"

"It's not that they don't trust me. Even if I'm not there, they would still go as long as they know the news. It's just that now they are afraid that I will go first, so they have to cooperate with me. As for the things in Hulu Mountain, you will know what they are only after you see them. The things in each base mutation point are different. It will be confirmed early. That thing is the key to the road to strength. With it, you will have the opportunity to become a truly strong person." After saying this, Concubine Bai walked out of the room and disappeared in a flash, like a ghost.

"The day after tomorrow? I hope it's still in time." Lin Shen glanced at the incubation chamber. The three genetically modified eggs whose fire had been sucked away were still motionless.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Shen came to the study, took out paper and pen and wrote a letter.

Dear Sister,
In the twenty-one years since I was born, although I have not been able to enjoy the company of my parents, I have never felt a moment of loss or insecurity. You have given me all the most beautiful fantasies about my mother and sister, so much so that even I feel that I am overly spoiled.

God has been too good to me. I'm afraid that I have spent all my kindness for ten lifetimes to be born as your brother in this life.

I think my second, third and fourth brothers have had the same idea: being your younger brother is the proudest thing in our lives.

But as a younger brother, I am still very dissatisfied with you.

You gave us all the best, but left nothing for yourself. In order to take care of us, you are still alone. Do you want us to be denounced as the "brother-supporting demon" by everyone?

Sister, you are too kind, but also too selfish. You are so selfish that you won’t even give us a chance to give. Your younger brothers have grown up, and they also want to taste the beauty of giving for their loved ones.

My three brothers can use me as a test subject, so who else can I use as a test subject?
I heard from my fourth brother that there was once an outstanding man who wanted to walk hand in hand with you, but in the end, he couldn't let us go and we parted ways.

This is where you are wrong, sister. Do you think your brother is so incompetent that he can't even take care of himself?
If there is an afterlife, I hope I won’t be your younger brother again, because I am no longer worthy of receiving any more kindness from you.

If there is an afterlife, I hope I can be your brother in the next life, and I will return all the love and affection you have given me tenfold.

Sister, by the time you see this letter, I should have left already.

Don’t be anxious or sad, give me some time to find some connections down there so that we can become brother and sister in the next life.

Promise me that you will live for yourself in the rest of your life and don’t let me owe you more, otherwise I won’t be able to pay it back in my next life.

If you still like that man, go find him, don't give your brother face and sleep with him.

Sister, I will wait for you in the next life - your most beloved brother Lin Shen.

The written letter was placed in an envelope and put into an iron biscuit box. In the past, the eldest sister would always put Lin Shen’s favorite things in this iron box.

If Lin Shen can't come back this time, the eldest sister should be able to find the letter after returning to the base.

If he could come back, he would destroy the letter immediately, leaving no trace.

Deep down, Lin Shen was not really opposed to going on an adventure to Hulu Mountain. It was just because of the original agreement that he was unwilling to leave the base and take risks.

But there was still a certain impulse in his body. It would be absolutely self-deception to say that he was not tempted by the things in Hulu Mountain.

After putting the iron box back to its original place, Lin Shen was still in a daze when he suddenly heard a strange clicking sound coming from the incubator.
