Counterflow 92: Ditching the School Flower at the Start and Building a Trillion Empire

In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.

He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...

Chapter 170 It's easy to enter the mountains, but difficult to leave them.

Good morning, Lin Yifeng!

Good morning, Teacher Lin!

After the two got up, they greeted Lin Yifeng. Judging from their mental state, it seemed...

The two of them were not in a good mental state.

"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Lin Yifeng asked, and Bai Yejin turned to look at Zhou Xuelan but did not reply.

Yes.

Neither of them slept well last night.

Originally, the two of them were almost asleep, but Zhou Xuelan, that brat, suddenly blurted out, "What base is Lin Yifeng on?", which instantly woke Bai Yejin up.

In this era, "reaching base" is a euphemism for a close relationship between two people.

Reaching first base means holding hands and hugging.

Reaching second base means kissing and touching.

Reaching third base means touching private parts.

A home run, on the other hand, refers to a sexual relationship between two people.

Lin Yifeng and Bai Yejin are not yet officially dating, and they have not been seen holding hands or hugging when they go out, but there are still quite a few intimate things between them.

For example, when Bai Yejin is in the car, she will rest her head on Lin Yifeng's shoulder and sleep.

For example, two people book a hotel room and sleep in the same bed.

For example, Lin Yifeng saw everything about himself, including things he should and shouldn't have seen.

And then again...

Bai Yejin ultimately didn't know how far her relationship with Lin Yifeng went. After thinking for a moment, she told Zhou Xuelan that they hadn't reached first base yet.

So, Zhou Xuelan quietly told Bai Yejin that a man as outstanding as Lin Yifeng should be seized as soon as possible, and that she should firmly grasp his heart and stomach, and so on.

Zhou Xuelan, this fierce girl who has never been in love, suddenly transforms into a strategist, actually giving Bai Yejin advice on how to do things.

so...

Bai Yejin, who was about to fall asleep, immediately became wide awake. The two chatted about everything under the sun, including Lin Yifeng. They didn't know how long they talked, but it was probably as dawn was breaking when they finally drifted off to sleep.

"I really didn't sleep well!"

Lin Yifeng glanced at Tiger Girl Zhou Xuelan, who was yawning, and stretched: "Hey, Tiger Girl, did you bully Bai Yejin last night?"

"Teacher Lin, how could I, a girl, bully Sister Xiaojin?"

Zhou Xuelan rolled her eyes. It's normal for boys to bully girls, but it's not normal for girls to bully other girls.

"Hehehe, you probably don't know, girls also..."

Lin Yifeng originally wanted to say that girls could also make tofu, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

The mainland is still too conservative. If I say this out loud, I'll easily get ganged up on by Zhou Xuelan and Bai Yejin!

In Hong Kong, you can say things like that, and there are even lesbians there.

Needless to say, Brokeback Mountain and the like are definitely on the list!

"You guys keep sleeping. The car that's supposed to go take pictures of the rocks is scheduled for 3 PM, and there hasn't been one yet."

"Why don't we eat something first before we sleep? We still have at least five kilometers to walk today!"

Lin Yifeng paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "This isn't an asphalt road, it's a mountain road!"

"We'll have to walk at least five kilometers of mountain trails!"

Yes, to get to Paishitou Village, deep in the mountains, you have to walk at least five kilometers of mountain road.

People born in the 1990s did not have some of the unhealthy lifestyle habits that are common in later generations.

The three of them had a simple breakfast in Shuiyun Town. Lin Yifeng strolled around Shuiyun Town with his hands in his pockets, trying to dig out his impressions of Shuiyun Town from the depths of his memory.

Bai Yejin and Zhou Xuelan went back to their room to catch up on sleep.

When he was not in Makino City, Lin Yifeng was able to relax for a rare moment.

In this era without smartphones or computers, Lin Yifeng pulled a martial arts novel from a urea bag full of books, then found a cool spot in Shuiyun Town and began reading.

The 1990s was a period of decline for martial arts novels. In fact, there were still many excellent martial arts novels from that era, but because the exploration paths of martial arts masters such as Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, and Wen Ruian were cut off, martial arts had reached a point where there was no way forward.

For example, when Jin Yong stopped writing in 1972, he believed that the narrative framework and subject matter of martial arts novels had been explored to their limits. As the culmination of anti-traditional martial arts, "The Deer and the Cauldron" marked the peak of his creative career.

If he continues to create, he may find it difficult to break through existing patterns and may even fall into repetition.

Therefore, Jin Yong stopped writing in 1972, Liang Yusheng stopped writing in 1983, and Gu Long passed away in 1985. Wen Ruian, who was left, did not stop writing, but in this era, he was already showing signs of becoming obsessed. Therefore, the 1990s was also called the era of the decline of martial arts fiction.

But in Lin Yifeng's view, the 1990s were far from the era of the decline of martial arts fiction. It was after the turn of the millennium, especially after 10 years, that was the era of the decline of martial arts fiction.

The rise of online novels and the growing interest in fantasy and xianxia (Chinese fantasy) marked the true decline of wuxia (martial arts) genres.

In later generations, martial arts fiction became a niche genre, and those who wrote martial arts fiction no longer wrote about "chivalry," but rather about leveling up and formulaic stories. Even if some writers had similar tastes, they were all writing martial arts fan fiction, which was really boring.

In contrast, the 1990s, which was said to be a period of decline for martial arts films, still saw the emergence of many excellent martial arts films.

Holding a martial arts novel, Lin Yifeng read with great interest until noon. He closed the book when the aroma of food wafted into his nostrils and went to find Bai Yejin and Zhou Xuelan to have lunch.

After lunch, I took a nap.

After waking up a little after 2 a.m., the three of them began packing their luggage, and at 3:47 p.m., they boarded the bus to the site of the stone-picking event.

The bus was a very dilapidated bus, with paint chips all over its surface. After the three of them sat down, the bus did not depart. Instead, they waited for nearly two hours before it finally started up with a roar around six o'clock.
