Chapter 212 – Of course, he was definitely a good boss! If Wang Jinghao hadn't done what he did, even after the world fusion in five years when those guild contracts become void, with Xing Sen's loyal nature, he would still have followed Wang Jinghao. Wang Jinghao would have gained a powerful subordinate. Unfortunately, he coveted someone else's sister's beauty and couldn't control himself, leading Xing Sen to sever ties with him. It's said that after the world fusion, Wang Jinghao regretted it so much that his intestines turned green, but regret was useless. After the world fusion, the first thing Xing Sen did was to try to kill Wang Jinghao. At that time, Xing Sen was already a peak Divine Transformation Realm expert, just a step away from Enlightenment. His strength was formidable, and he almost killed Wang Jinghao. Fortunately, Wang Jinghao had also gathered many top experts as his subordinates, which saved his life. Xing Sen, however, was outnumbered and later died in an ambush by several top experts. It could be said he died a very aggrieved death. Lin Jichen looked at Xing Sen, who still had no idea about Wang Jinghao's true nature, and couldn't help but ask, "Which hospital is your sister staying at?" He thought that if her sister was nearby, he might be able to help and possibly change her fate. But this question made Xing Sen wary. He suspiciously asked, "Why do you want to know?" Lin Jichen was speechless. Goodness, now he seemed like the bad guy? He quickly tried to smooth things over, "Don't misunderstand, I know a very good hospital that might be able to help you." Xing Sen reluctantly believed him but still politely declined, "No need, my sister's condition is stable now, and she should be discharged soon. But thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it." Lin Jichen shrugged helplessly and said, "That's good. I wish your sister a speedy recovery." "Thank you." Xing Sen fell silent after speaking, clearly still wary of Lin Jichen. Lin Jichen smiled bitterly in his heart. Was it so hard to be a good person? But he couldn't blame Xing Sen. This guy was simple-minded; whoever treated him well, he would treat well in return, making him easy to deceive. At least on the surface, Wang Jinghao treated him very well, spending thirty million to buy him equipment. With that kind of gesture, it would be strange if Xing Sen didn't pledge his loyalty. At this moment, Wang Jinghao finished his call and returned, so Lin Jichen stopped paying attention to Xing Sen. After the meal, Lin Jichen bid farewell to Wang Jinghao and went to his shop in the city. It was still bustling with people coming and going. Zhao Baige looked dejected. Lin Jichen didn't mind. He walked over and sat on another cushion, looking at the furnace emitting black smoke, filled with thick black residue. It was clear this was the result of many failed attempts. He joked, "With so much residue, if I docked your pay, you might owe me money instead." Zhao Baige's face fell immediately, and she pleaded, "Boss, I don't have any money..." Lin Jichen laughed and asked, "Do you enjoy alchemy?" Zhao Baige nodded vigorously, "I love it! The more I practice, the more I love it!" "Why?" Lin Jichen was curious, "Is it for the money?" "No, money is only a small part of it. I genuinely love alchemy. I find the alchemy in this game fascinating. It feels connected to ancient Chinese medicine, and the more I practice, the more I resonate with it. I truly feel it, boss, I'm not making it up," Zhao Baige answered earnestly. Lin Jichen smiled knowingly. This was probably why Zhao Baige could become an elixir king. Most people practiced alchemy for money or to enhance their in-game strength. But Zhao Baige's motivation was entirely different. She seemed to have an almost obsessive passion for alchemy. Such a person was destined to become an elixir king in the future. "Then keep at it. I told you, don't worry about my losses. As long as you improve your alchemy skills, you'll become an outstanding alchemy master. Some high-quality elixirs are worth a fortune each. I'm waiting for you to make me rich in the future, so don't worry about the current losses. Keep going," Lin Jichen encouraged her with a pat on the shoulder. Zhao Baige felt a warmth in her heart. Lin Jichen's unconditional trust made her feel cherished. This young man, a few years younger than herself, seemed genuinely convinced that she could achieve great things in alchemy. What seemed like childish and absurd dreams to others appeared entirely different in his eyes. "I'll do my best! Boss! I'll make any elixir you need in the future!" "Then I'll be waiting." Lin Jichen smiled. He could tell that Zhao Baige had the same simple and kind nature as Xing Sen. Such talents were most afraid of encountering a bad master, wasting their loyalty and passion on the wrong person. Of course, he was definitely a good boss! A boss who cared deeply for his employees!
