Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 10: Venture Capital

Lin Yu's voice echoed in Su Ming's mind, "No! Absolutely not! We need to lay low! We must lay low! The nail that sticks out gets hammered down! The bird that takes the lead gets shot first! Have you forgotten the survival principles I taught you?"

"But, Master..." Su Ming silently retorted in his heart, "This is an opportunity."

"An opportunity? This is a fishhook! Dangling delicious bait while hiding a deadly net underwater!" Lin Yu spoke with heartfelt distress, "What kind of place is Qingshi Town? Crowded with people and prying eyes, filled with all sorts of characters! Going there would be like delivering ourselves to the enemy! What if we encounter a sharp-eyed cultivator who sees through my existence? We'd both be instantly refined into a pair of tragic lovebirds with our souls scattered to the winds!"

Su Ming was momentarily stunned by his outburst.

"Then... should we forget about it?"

"Forget about it?" Lin Yu's tone suddenly shifted, becoming conflicted, "Just giving up like that seems... not quite right either."

He fell into an internal struggle.

"Maintaining the status quo keeps risks controllable. Disadvantages: trapped in this dead-end situation, resources drying up, slowly dying. This is called the 'conservative waiting-for-death strategy.'"

"Breaking the stalemate might bring contact with new resources, new information, and obtaining the 'Child Scholar' title as a low-level social identity for camouflage. This is 'risky strategic investment.' Disadvantages: unknown risks multiply dramatically, could lead to instant death."

Lin Yu's soul drifted restlessly within the ring."Damn it, my choice paralysis is acting up."

He suddenly stopped: "I've got it! Our goal isn't to become the most dazzling genius, but to become the 'most reliable, most obedient, most trustworthy' one in Teacher Zhou's eyes! We need to make him feel that choosing you won't bring brilliance, but will absolutely never bring mistakes!"

"Master, what should I do?"

"From now on, you need to show 'eagerness' for this opportunity, but also display 'lack of confidence' in your own abilities." Lin Yu began his directorial career, "You need to work harder than before, but when asking Teacher Zhou questions, focus on the more basic ones. You need to make everyone, including Teacher Zhou, see you as a 'clumsy uncut jade' that needs a master's guidance to shine!"
