Chapter 2596: Chapter 2588: Rhythm Control

The conversation between Feng Jun and Beauty Lin was being watched by many, but not many could actually understand it.

In fact, no one understood Feng Jun better than Beauty Lin, who had spent seven years studying him intensely, supported by a vast team that helped in analyzing and profiling him. If she didn’t understand Feng Jun, then truly no one else could.

Feng Jun also knew that Beauty Lin had a full grasp of his various thought processes and behavioral patterns, analyzed thoroughly and accurately. However... these traits were innate, and he couldn’t control them, could he?

So he could only sigh that the team behind Beauty Lin was too powerful, analyzing everything so clearly that he felt powerless to resist.

But in doing so, didn’t life lose some of its fun?

Anyway, he really didn’t like this feeling, even though he greatly admired the profiling group.

But others truly couldn’t understand, and so someone even asked in the public channel, "What do you mean by ’the timing is almost right’?"

Beauty Lin did not bring any electronic devices into Luohua—because Feng Jun couldn’t tolerate them. So she didn’t know there was such a discussion going on in the public channel.

Of course, such discussions couldn’t be kept from Feng Jun; within the Luohua community, there were Yang Yuxin and Yu Qingzhu. If they couldn’t even catch wind of such discussions, it would truly be dereliction of duty.

But in real-time situations, Yang Yuxin and Yu Qingzhu couldn’t respond promptly either—though they had some connections and their capabilities were sufficient, there was a time delay in the transmission of information.

However, Beauty Lin could fully understand Feng Jun’s intentions, and she could even fathom what her puzzled colleagues were pondering over as they listened in.

She was under no obligation to clarify their doubts, yet she knew that without demonstrating enough capability, even if she wasn’t reassigned this time, she would likely not escape the next reshuffling.

So she straightforwardly said, "In fact, you hold a lot of knowledge, isn’t that correct?"

"Everyone thinks they hold a lot of knowledge," Feng Jun chuckled, "What you said is indeed not wrong."

"Alright, I won’t beat around the bush with you," Beauty Lin cut straight to the point, speaking slowly, "You have a lot of knowledge, but you release it to the outside world rather slowly. I think you’re deliberately controlling the pace; do you admit to this?"

Feng Jun spread his hands and replied with a smile, "Isn’t this normal? I believe everything should have a development plan, ranging from national and global issues to personal career development and procedures handling tasks... doing anything without a plan doesn’t work."

"I understand," Beauty Lin nodded, then continued to speak slowly—she wanted the drone to record her words clearly, lest anyone accuse her of inaction again, "So the pace at which you’re releasing things is part of your personal plan, is that right?"

Feng Jun realized what she was doing, didn’t bother to talk, just simply nodded and casually pulled out a cigarette to light.

Beauty Lin continued talking, "But your plan is just yours, and it might not align with Huaxia’s expectations."

"Whether it aligns or not, that’s not for you to say," Feng Jun’s face darkened, confronting not just her but all the cameras, "As the owner of these things, it is reasonable when I say it is... I’ve provided so much fundamental research, how much have you fully understood by now?"

Speaking of this, Beauty Lin felt a bit embarrassed, but she wasn’t without reasons, "Basic materials research is a prolonged process. Even if you give us the answers, we can’t just copy them, right? Besides, the technology is also a major hurdle."

Feng Jun waved his hand, exhaling two smoke rings, "I’m not interested in these explanations, though I understand you can’t become fat with one bite and persistence is needed. Now I’m just wondering, you can’t even digest these things, yet you want more?"

Then he smiled and spoke in a deep voice, "Regarding this pace, I have my own considerations and judgments, and I don’t need your suggestions or interference; you guys only need to accept it passively."

"I recall having said something you also recognized," Beauty Lin continued trying to reason as she spoke slowly, "An individual’s perspective is short; your personal assessment can’t match the wisdom of the collective."

"Isn’t this the same old cliché?" Feng Jun waved his hand impatiently and stated, "The difficulties I encountered, you don’t understand... yet you wish to understand... but I can only say that it’s inconvenient... is there any point in saying this repeatedly?"

"In any case, the timing being right or not is merely your perception," Beauty Lin finally clarified the term "timing," "However, the things you hold are very important, like this Life-Extension Elixir."

"That’s right, I am very aware the Life-Extension Elixir is essential," Feng Jun nodded, "Even acquiring a few was not easy for me, now that things are slightly more relaxed, I can give you five sets, but it’s still far from the timing for large-scale promotion."

Beauty Lin stated seriously, "But some people can barely wait for the timing."

"I addressed this issue last time," Feng Jun responded indifferently, "One must have a plan to achieve perfection in whatever they do. If some people can’t wait... well, that’s a necessary pain, and we can’t let individual personal demands affect the overall situation."

"Oh gosh!" Someone among those following the conversation was so agitated their teeth were grinding, "What the heck necessary pain... who do you think you are to talk about the big picture?"

Beauty Lin sighed softly, "Whatever the case, those are lives."

"The reason I control the pace is exactly to consider more lives," Feng Jun answered lazily, "Once again, I advise you not to comment when you don’t know the facts; disrupting my pace would cost all of humanity."

Beauty Lin was about to speak when she suddenly saw someone waving at the gate, so she smiled apologetically, "Wait a moment. It seems something’s up... I’ll be right back."

She returned promptly after saying a few words.

She didn’t hide it and directly stated, "I’ve been asked to inquire if, with regard to the cultivation your Luohua members are undergoing, could it potentially be promoted across all of Huaxia when the timing is right? Only when you personally consider it’s the right timing... with us not interfering."

Feng Jun didn’t hesitate to shake his head, "A full-scale promotion is unlikely, in fact, cultivation is not difficult, the main point lies in resources..."

"I can barely acquire some resources for a few apprentices, which is already not easy. Now you want me to secure resources for over a billion people in Huaxia? Isn’t that expecting a bit too much from me?"

"Some allowance from what slips through your fingers, that’s plenty, isn’t it?" Beauty Lin looked at him pleadingly, bringing her hands together, "Don’t say you can’t do it, many cultivators have benefited from you."

Feng Jun responded casually, "That’s because I’m willing to give, anyway it’s my stuff, is there a problem?"

Beauty Lin’s eyes flickered, directly launching the topic he liked most, "I promise most of it would be used for the warriors."

Hearing this, Feng Jun was somewhat tempted, he smiled slightly, "Why only ’most’?"

Beauty Lin chuckled helplessly, "You already know the answer, why bother asking me? Many eyes are watching."

Feng Jun was just teasing her a bit; in fact, he had plans regarding this matter too, "Regarding this issue, I can consider it, though it’s a drop in the bucket, it’s still better than nothing, but currently, the timing isn’t mature yet."

"No problem if the timing isn’t right, we can wait," Beauty Lin laughed, a dazzling smile brightening her face.

Seeing her so happy, Feng Jun couldn’t resist teasing her again, "But this matter may go unaddressed since once you’re reassigned, our contacts will be downgraded, but for such matters, I’m the only one in Luohua who can make the call."

"I won’t be reassigned," Beauty Lin shook her head and asked in surprise, "Couldn’t you hear from such a close distance?"

Feng Jun answered solemnly, "I understand the principle of not seeing or listening to any inappropriate things."

Only a fool would believe that! Beauty Lin had long gotten acquainted with Boss Feng’s Earth Listening Technique, but this was his ability, even if she wished to block it, there wasn’t a good method.

Just as Feng Jun was wary of electronic devices, Beauty Lin’s people were also very cautious of his ubiquitous perception abilities, usually discussing serious matters far away from Zhengyang, and even possibly retreating to Beijing—after all, Boss Feng had an aversion to Beijing.

So she continued the previous topic, "May I ask, when will the timing be mature... approximately how long?"

Feng Jun pondered that both Yu Qingzhu and Yun Buyao had reached the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, and once they advanced to the Transcendent stage, along with Zhang Caixin, he would have three Transcendent cultivators under his command, essentially allowing dual management.

So he gave an answer, "Around ten years, maybe sooner, maybe later, either way, you’ll see it in your lifetime."

Beauty Lin’s eyes twinkled, "Then can we start gathering warriors for preliminary selection now?"

"Don’t ask me about this," Feng Jun straightforwardly gestured, "It’s not something I should get involved with. Don’t expect to drag me into this; how you operate, I definitely won’t interfere, just ensure ’most’ resources are allocated to the right people."

A light ’humph’ came from the public channel, "At least he hasn’t lost his head, knowing what to touch and what not to."

Beauty Lin actually understood Feng Jun’s temperament, and the previous question was meant to ease others’ vigilance, seeing Feng Jun responding aptly, she laughed, "You’ve already deployed the fleet, is it that easy to distance yourself?"

"I’m just passing things around, there’s no issue of distancing," Feng Jun replied indifferently, seeing her words getting increasingly risky, he coughed lightly, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"There’s one more thing," Beauty Lin spoke earnestly, "If it’s true as you say that resources are crucial, then... could you let us have some cultivation techniques in advance, so we can familiarize ourselves?"
