Chapter 818: After the Drinking Party
Lin Zaishan has just finished his speech, Zhao Weiguo reported that Wang Xiaoya came to visit. Lin Zaishan permitted.
Wang Xiaoya entered the manor with her swaddling clothes in her arms in the eyes of all the guests, and asked, "Captain Lin, can we talk about it privately?" β
"Follow me." Lin Zaishan immediately introduced Wang Xiaoya into his reception room.
The guests who didn't know the truth were all talking, "Is this woman Mr. Lin's secret lover?" "Could the baby in her arms be Mr. Lin's illegitimate child?"
He Annie and Ye Jingying glanced at each other helplessly, both of them knew the bottom of Wang Xiaoya's situation, and the guests' remarks completely wronged Lin Zaishan. He Annie said: "I don't believe that sixth-grade wine can't stop their mouths." He said loudly to all the guests: "Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Mr. Lin and Galaxy Manor, I wish you all good health and all the best!" Cheers to it! β
Everyone immediately raised their glasses in response, and for a while, the banquet was staggered and lively.

In the reception room, Wang Xiaoya begged, "Captain Lin, please help my child." β
"The child has mutated, hasn't it? Show me. Lin Zaishan took Wang Xiaoya's child who was still less than a month old, and held it in his hand to check it carefully. I saw that the child had a pair of long rabbit-like ears, a monkey-like long tail, and a pair of eyes that were so large that they were severely out of proportion.
"Captain Lin, please let the child return to normal!"
"Xiaoya, are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
Lin Zaishan immediately cast his ability. In just a few moments, the child turned into a normal human baby, looking quiet and cute.
Wang Xiaoya happily hugged her in her arms and kept kissing.
"Okay Xiaoya, let's go out."
"I have one more thing to ask of you." Wang Xiaoya's expression suddenly became cowardly, "This child's father ......"
"Chen Gengxin, is it?" This kind of blood connection can't be hidden from Lin Zaishan.
Wang Xiaoya suddenly knelt on the ground, "Captain, please let Chen Gengxin go for the sake of our colleagues and sharing weal and woe." I know he has a lot of problems, but he's the father of this kid. You don't want this kid to be without a father from an early age, do you? β
Lin Zaishan comforted: "Xiaoya, I didn't embarrass Chen Gengxin. He was taken into custody and punished by Midtown for doing something wrong. As long as the period expires, you can regain your freedom. Don't worry, I promise that as long as Chen Gengxin sincerely repents, no one will deliberately embarrass him. β
"That'...... Can I go to the Punishment Factory to see him? β
"It's your right. I'll let Huanchang implement it now. Lin Zaishan immediately called Qin Huanchang in and instructed her to arrange for Wang Xiaoya to take the child to Chen Gengxin to recognize her relatives.
Wang Xiaoya is very grateful.

As soon as Lin Zaishan returned to the banquet, He Annie came over and said, "Shanshan, my father has a small wish, can you fulfill it?" β
"Is there anything your dad asks you to tell me directly?"
"He knows that you are as proud as an emperor penguin, and he is afraid that if you refuse to agree, it will hurt the harmony."
"What the hell is that wish?"
"My dad wants you to call him father-in-law in front of all the guests. That's not too much to ask, isn't it? He Annie's mouth was not too much, but she was still worried in her heart. Lin Zaishan is not a Chinese man who has to listen to his wife at home before the end of the world, he is now a god-like existence, if he doesn't agree, He Annie and his daughter have no temper at all.
"No problem." Lin Zaishan readily agreed, "But I have to level a bowl of water." β
He said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have my own family, and I would like to thank two important people in particular. β
The crowd immediately fell silent, speculating on who would be so glorious.
Lin Zaishan walked up to He Xiaotian and said respectfully: "Father-in-law, thank you for giving birth to such an excellent girl as Anne, and for supporting me at critical moments many times. A toast. β
He Xiaotian's heart was full of joy, and he hurriedly returned the salute: "Son-in-law, I am very satisfied with you!" β
Lin Zaishan walked up to Li Wenxiu again, "Thank you for cultivating Ye Jingying, an angel." I wish you good health, mother-in-law. β
Li Wenxiu also hurriedly responded with a smile.
The crowd applauded in unison. Many people's hearts are full of envy, jealousy, and hatred. Being Lin Zaishan's father-in-law and mother-in-law is absolutely beautiful, and wherever he goes, others must be respectful, not to mention that He Xiaotian and Li Wenxiu themselves are bigwigs in the middle of the city and have strong strength.
Although Lin Zaishan himself doesn't care about identity and relationships, others care a lot. Since today, the global human power map and hierarchical order have begun to solidify after a period of rapid differentiation:
Lin Zaishan is an incomparable super-god-like existence;
Under him, Galaxy Manor is a first-class force, not only He Annie and Ye Jingying are extremely noble in the eyes of others, but even Zhang Sanheng, Billy, Chen Qing, Chen Xiu, Kobayashi Julan, Third Grandma, Zhao Weiguo are also honored, and no one dares to despise Caroline;
Under the Xinghe Manor, Wu Chaoqun, He Xiaotian, Li Wenxiu, Sun Zhenghong, Mei Yingxue, Xiangzhu Jushi, and Ma Youhe are second-class forces, all of whom are superior in their own strength and have a deep relationship with Lin Zaishan and are even deeply respected by the latter;
Huo Qiankun, Diana, Sophia, Schwaronsen, and the leaders of the settlements outside the Midtown, the Doomsday Gamers' Club, the Doomsday Saints' Society, the Knights' Guild, and the Black Diamond Group are the third forces, and they have many supporters, many capable people, and strong group strength;
Zhiyangyang, Qin Huanchang, Zhao Feiyan, Wang Youdao, Song Chanjuan, Du Ziming, Feifeng, etc. are the fourth force, they don't like to form gangs due to personality and other reasons, but they have a very good personal relationship with Lin Zaishan, and they have won his trust, plus they have unique abilities, so they have become characters that no one dares to ignore;
Wang Chengba, Cao Dacheng, Li Yan, Du Lili, Song Chanjuan and other middle-level backbones in Zhongcheng have become the fifth force.
There are also many scattered powerhouses who are outside the Midtown system, constituting the sixth level of power.

After the reception at Xinghe Manor, Lin Zaishan invited Wu Chaoqun, Sun Zhenghong, Qin Huanchang, Zhiyangyang, Caroline, Mei Yingxue, Schwaronsen, and Xu Yuxin to stay and talk secretly.
Lin Zaishan led everyone into the secret room subspace, and used the code to tightly seal the information.
Wu Chaoqun saw his solemn appearance and asked, "Xiaolin, what is the matter, so confidential?" β
Lin Zaishan replied with a serious expression: "It is a major matter related to the life and death of mankind. β
"Oh?" Everyone was amazed. Sun Zhenghong asked: "Captain, didn't you just say at the cocktail party that we are safe now, and you can fix it with a snap of your fingers if there is any disaster?" β
"That's just for a short period of time in the future. In fact, in the long run, we still face three devastating crises. β
"Which three?" Schwarronsen couldn't sit still, either, "Zha Lin, don't tell me that the Zerg are going to resurrect and the Star Soul Shepherd is going to make waves. β
"The first is the Doomsday Judgment of the High Plane." Lin Zaishan reminded: "Don't think that we have passed the end times, according to my speculation, the true judgment of the higher plane has not yet come. β
"What form might a real judgment take?"
"I don't know if it's a stellar or even galaxy-level celestial catastrophe, or it could be the arrival of an being whose strength can absolutely crush us all. In short, it is countless times more powerful than meteorites, zombies, zergs, etc. β
"Xiaolin, why are you so sure of it? Maybe the higher planes have already spared us Earth. After all, if they wanted to exterminate us, they would have done it a long time ago, so why wait for us to evolve until now? Mei Yingxue questioned.
"You must understand that the logic of the higher planes is different from ours. At first, we unanimously speculated on the higher planes based on the logic of the earthlings, thinking that their doomsday judgment on us was just for the sake of 'legitimate' harvesting of star souls, but recently, after my realm was raised, I found that this was just a faΓ§ade. The most important thing for the advanced planes is not the star soul, but other things. β
"What's that?"
"The power of cause and effect." Lin Zaishan replied with certainty.
Everyone looked at each other, except for Mei Yingxue, the rest of the people were not familiar with this term.
Lin Zaishan explained: "The so-called cause is the effect, and the effect must have a cause. The power of cause and effect is the root that drives the existence, occurrence and change of things, and it is also the direct manifestation of the power of the origin of the galaxy universe. Our seven emotions and six desires, thoughts and feelings, and actions all touch cause and effect. These causal powers may be collected and used by the higher planes to do all sorts of world-changing things. β
Xu Yuxin asked, "Sounds so troublesome. Using the power of the star soul can also change the heavens and the earth, and it is more direct, so why bother yourself and use the power of cause and effect? β
"You're asking a good question, and that's the question. For example, if I want to have a healthy, intelligent son, all I need to do is snap my fingers, why do I need to love men and women, conceive in October, and work hard to raise them? β
Zhiyangyang interjected: "Yes, if we can design better things ourselves, why do we have to buy other people's products?" β
Lin Zaishan said: "If everything we do is a one-time transaction, it is naturally a simple and refreshing means; But if every thing we do is documented by some mysterious, omniscient system, just as every time we design or buy something, we have to be recorded - in this case, we buy someone else's product compared to our own design product, and for various reasons, the latter causes more movement than the former, causing more unintended consequences - then I ask you: how do you choose? β
"This ......," everyone began to ponder.
Schwarronsen was taken aback, "Zarin, do you mean that there is a powerful presence that knows everything and is tirelessly monitoring and recording our every move, day and night?" β
"It can be understood so that way; Of course, this doesn't have to be a personified being. β
"I'll go! I don't like to be monitored, unless it's a stunning beauty. Schwarronsen couldn't help but complain. Before the end of the world, he lived in a country known for its well-developed secret services, and was highly sensitive to surveillance.
Lin Zaishan continued: "Assuming that we are all being monitored by an omniscient being, what we do will not only be recorded, but also judged and even dealt with accordingly. In this case, it is clear that we will do more and do less wrong, and the safest thing we can do is to reduce unnecessary actions so as not to incur more karmic debts. Therefore, it is more reasonable to work hard to have a child than to snap your fingers to create a child. β
Sun Zhenghong asked: "According to this logic, isn't it best for us to do nothing and sit and wait for death?" β
"Doing nothing is doing it." Mei Yingxue replied for Lin Zaishan, "To do or not to do, to do and not to do is dialectical." β
"It's not to do, it's not to do it, so what should I do?"
Mei Yingxue then replied: "The key is not to do it or not, but to master the rules. Do what conforms to the rules, don't do what violates the rules. β
"Makes sense!" The crowd praised in unison.
"Fairy Mei's knowledge is really extraordinary." Lin Zaishan nodded, "I've been working on studying the rules of the high-level plane recently. β
