135 Chapter 135
Lin Fan didn\'t waste any time and didn\'t take things slow like he did with the first cultivation realm.
Since he knew that there would be another player that would be acting against him, the only thing he could do now was build as quickly as possible, especially since he was up against the zergs. The Bug Race were quick to generate new units, so he had to prepare for the possible zerg rush.
Lin Fan made sure to mark the area that he found the zerg in as dangerous while also making sure to create a line with turrets and troops. He had three marines placed with each turret, that way they could stall long enough for the other troops to come, unless it was a full zerg rush.
Once he was done with that, Lin Fan also created another command center which he sent off in the complete opposite direction. For now, he needed to collect resources as quickly as possible, so he also sent half of his SCVs to help build the new base while creating new SCVs at the old base.
When that was all finished, Lin Fan also started researching different tech as well as different units.
He found that setting up this second cultivation realm farm was equal to starting a new game, but at least he was allowed to bring several units along with him which made starting out much easier than last time.
Now that he had prepared everything, the only thing he could do now was wait for everything to finish, so after making sure that everything in his queue was correct, Lin Fan headed back to the shop.
It was a good thing that he did head back because there was currently an incident in the shop.
The morning rush had been going normally, but near the end, there was suddenly someone who started causing trouble in the store.
At first it wasn\'t much, he just kept pacing back and forth in front of the pet food section, but then he suddenly summoned his pet which collapsed on the ground and shouted, "Look at what happened to my pet after it ate your pet food! What are you going to do about this!"
Song Shu who was in charge of things like this while Lin Fan was gone had gone over to mediate, "Sir, can I ask what is the problem here? What do you mean when you say that your pet has collapsed?"
The man pointed at his pet lying on the ground that had froth at the corners of its mouth and came up close to Song Shu to shout in her face, "You want to try telling me that you won\'t claim responsibility for what you did for my pet? What kind of trash shop is this?!"
Song Shu tried to remain calm, but in the face of this screaming man, she couldn\'t help it as tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.
When the people around saw the tears in the corner of Song Shu\'s eyes, there were a few that came over to protect her. They couldn\'t help it when there was a cute little girl crying, it ignited the urge to protect inside them.
"Hey man, how about you calm down? It isn\'t like shouting at this little girl will make it any better?"
"How about we just calm down and talk about this?"
"Song Shu, here\'s a treat for you. How about you come with me and we\'ll have some fun together?"
Of course that last person was dragged away into the crowd and beaten up…
The man didn\'t falter when he was faced with this crowd, rather he started shouting at them, "Why don\'t you all mind your own business!" Then he pointed at Song Shu and said, "The pet food that this little girl\'s store is selling is poisoned and it might have killed my pet, how can I calm down at this! I must report them and get compensation from this store!"
The people around could clearly see that the man\'s pet was in a bad situation, so they weren\'t that keen on interfering. Still, Song Shu\'s cuteness attracted a few people to stand between her and the screaming man.
It was at this time that Lin Fan had appeared.
He walked over to the man and the man couldn\'t help taking a step back in surprise at Lin Fan\'s aura.
Lin Fan came over to the pet and looked it over before looking down at the empty pet food package that had been dropped on the ground. This package looked almost identical to the one that he used, but his sharp eyes could see a few differences.
However, even if he did point out those differences, he knew that people wouldn\'t believe it with how well made this fake was. But of course, he had other ways of dealing with this.
Lin Fan turned to the man and calmly asked, "What happened here?"
The man didn\'t know why he felt a bit of fear towards Lin Fan, but he calmed himself and said, "Are you the owner of this store? Well I fed my pet your food after I finished buying a pack and before I could do anything, my pet suddenly started frothing at the mouth and collapsed! Tell me, what are you planning to do about this?"
Lin Fan just revealed a smile at this, "Are you sure you want to do this? I\'ll give you one last chance to back down."
The man was stunned for a second before he recovered his courage to shout, "Do you hear this everyone? This owner is trying to threaten me into submission! What kind of store is this?!"
Lin Fan just had the same smile as he picked up the empty bag of pet food and picked up a bag of his store\'s pet food.
He lifted them both up as he said, "Well, there\'s a very clear difference between these two bags. I tried giving you a chance to get out of this unscathed, but since you won\'t take the olive branch I offered, I have no choice."
He turned to one of the men protecting Song Shu and said, "Come here and inject your life energy into this bag first." He lifted up the bag that the man had dropped on the ground.
The man was confused, but he still followed Lin Fan\'s directions and came over to inject his life energy into the bag. When he did so, there was nothing that happened.
Lin Fan nodded when he saw this and then he said, "Alright, inject your life energy into this bag." He lifted up the full bag of pet food.
The man was still confused, but he still did it. When he did, there was a symbol that suddenly lit up on the face of the bag. It was a symbol that everyone recognized since it was the symbol that hung outside Lin Fan\'s store.
The screaming man panicked at this, but he calmed down and said, "What can that prove? For all we know, you might have just drawn that on there."
Lin Fan shook his head at this, "I guess you won\'t give up until you see a grave."
Then he turned and said, "Angela."
Angela threw a bucket that she had already prepared over to Lin Fan who skillfully caught it with a single hand.
Lin Fan leaned over the pet on the ground and gently picked it up.
The screaming man said, "What are you doing to my pet? Does everyone see this, he\'s trying to get rid of the evidence!"
Lin Fan just casually stroked the throat of the pet before poking three acupuncture points, making the pet suddenly spit up a round thing into the bucket. Even after spitting it up, the pet still didn\'t move.
Lin Fan however covered his hand in life energy and picked up the pill to let everyone see what it was before saying, "For those of you who have any knowledge of alchemy, you should recognize what this pill is. It\'s the most simple Acting Dead Pill, even the worst Junior Alchemist can make this. This one is clearly decently made, but that doesn\'t mean it\'s a good pill."
Since the Alchemy Tower was in Green Wood city and there was a forest around which made it easy to gather ingredients, alchemy was a major industry in this city. Many of the customers here were actually alchemists who were able to recognize the pill with a single glance.
Lin Fan turned his attention back to the pet and released his aura just to cover the pet alone as he whispered, "I\'ll kill you if you continue acting dead."
The pet\'s eyes suddenly opened wide and it jumped to its feet, running away to hide behind the leg of its master.
When everyone saw this, they immediately glared at the screaming man.
When the screaming man saw this, he knew that he was finished.
