SRGA **Chapter 200: The Policy Given by the State**
"Honey, you scared me to death," Luo Bingning said, hugging Lin Tian tightly with lingering fear.
Lin Tian held Luo Bingning and kissed her on the lips, knowing that a kiss would be more comforting than any words.
"Mmm—"
Luo Bingning closed her eyes and responded passionately to Lin Tian's kiss.
Lin Tian had just fought against three thousand armed thugs from the Yamaguchi-gumi, and their base even had self-destruct mechanisms. This had scared Luo Bingning greatly.
If she hadn't been so worried, a Legendary Treasure Chest and later a Golden Treasure Chest wouldn't have appeared.
"Honey, please don't take such risks in the future," Luo Bingning said softly after the kiss.
"Okay," Lin Tian nodded with a smile. "After this incident, I don't think anyone will easily provoke me."
Silently, he added to himself that if any power wanted to target him, they would likely aim to eliminate him completely.
"Honey, you being Master Lin must be kept secret. As long as this is hidden, others won't dare to act recklessly," Luo Bingning said.
The Yamaguchi-gumi had sent spies to Lin Tian, who met a tragic end. If they had known he was Master Lin, other forces, even if given the chance, wouldn't dare to kill him. How would they handle Master Lin's revenge?
"Yeah," Lin Tian nodded with a smile.
Things were good as they were now.
If people knew he was Master Lin, he would be constantly in the spotlight, making it inconvenient to go out.
"Honey, let's eat. I've made several of your favorite dishes," Luo Bingning said with a smile.
Lin Tian went to the dining room, where six dishes were laid out on the table. For the two of them, this was a very sumptuous meal.
"Honey, was the volcanic earthquake your doing?" Luo Bingning asked curiously while eating.
Lin Tian replied, "Do you believe it was a coincidence if I say so?"
"What do you think?" Luo Bingning said coquettishly.
Lin Tian chuckled, "Then don't ask. To others, you must insist it was a natural disaster."
Luo Bingning nodded.
"Bingning, what kind of gift would you like? I'll get you something. I made quite a bit of money this time."
Lin Tian took out his phone and showed her a message.
The compensation from the Mitsui family and the Yamaguchi-gumi had been transferred to his account in RMB.
A total of 4.5 billion US dollars.
Converted to RMB, it was over 32 billion.
Luo Bingning was stunned by the long string of numbers.
Even as the daughter of the Luo family, she had never seen so much cash at once, except for the time she married Lin Tian.
Apart from those super corporations, who had so much cash on hand? And this was Lin Tian's personal funds.
The Masked Man account had made a lot, especially with the tips from the recent live stream totaling 200 million.
But compared to this huge sum, that was nothing.
"Honey, why so much?" Luo Bingning asked in disbelief.
Lin Tian smiled, "The Mitsui family compensated 3.5 billion US dollars, and the Yamaguchi-gumi paid 1 billion US dollars."
"The Yamaguchi-gumi will also deliver five tons of gold."
"After paying 45% in taxes, there will still be plenty left. Think about how we should spend it."
Luo Bingning giggled, "Honey, when you pay that much in taxes, the tax office will probably be stunned."
"How will they figure out how to tax you?"
Lin Tian said, "During the annual tax settlement, we'll see how this is taxed. I'm a bit puzzled myself."
"Beep beep!"
At that moment, Lin Tian's phone rang.
The caller ID showed an unknown number.
When he answered, the voice of the Second Elder came through: "Xiao Lin, can you recognize my voice?"
"Second Elder, your voice is recognized by countless people across the country," Lin Tian said with a smile.
The Second Elder asked, "Am I interrupting your meal? I have some time during my lunch break and wanted to discuss something with you."
"Please go ahead, Second Elder," Lin Tian replied promptly.
The Second Elder laughed and said, "The state has a tax exemption policy for certain special individuals. This morning, a few of us held a meeting and decided to extend the same policy to you and Master Lin."
Lin Tian was stunned.
He had just received over 32 billion RMB. Paying 45%
The Second Elder laughed and said, "The state has a tax exemption policy for certain special individuals. This morning, a few of us held a meeting and decided to extend the same policy to you and Master Lin."
Lin Tian was stunned.
He had just received over 32 billion RMB. Paying 45% in taxes would not be a small amount, and there could be more income in the future.
"Second Elder, is this really appropriate?" Lin Tian asked.
The Second Elder replied seriously, "It's very appropriate. The value of what you have provided to Elder Xu is immeasurable. The state cannot neglect such special talents as you."
Lin Tian smiled and said, "I was just discussing this with Bingning. I was a bit worried about how to pay the taxes. Well, I won’t be polite then."
The Second Elder laughed heartily, "That money was earned by Master Lin. This treatment is well-deserved for you. No need to be modest. That’s all I wanted to say. Goodbye."
The Second Elder hung up the phone.
Lin Tian smiled and said, "The Second Elder and his team have decided that I won't have to pay taxes anymore."
Luo Bingning said, "That was to be expected. Such a large sum would require a substantial tax payment. If there wasn't such a policy, other countries would surely try to entice you to join them."
At this, Luo Bingning sighed helplessly.
"Honey, I’m afraid our neighborhood might get new tenants again. Even foreign princesses might move in."
Lin Tian pinched Luo Bingning’s cute face and laughed, "Don’t worry. Even if foreign princesses move in, they won’t affect you."
"Really?" Luo Bingning asked coquettishly.
"Of course," Lin Tian nodded with a smile.
Even without considering emotions, a foreign princess wouldn't be as important to him as Luo Bingning, who could provide him with treasure chests.
"Let's hurry and eat. You need to undergo treatment this afternoon. After this session, you should be able to reach the late stage of the Dark Force level," Lin Tian said with a smile.
Luo Bingning was currently at the mid-stage of the Dark Force level, already possessing some internal energy, albeit weak. Compared to other mid-stage Dark Force fighters, Luo Bingning had an edge—her internal energy had an icy attribute. Once she could fully utilize her power, it would be difficult for fighters of the same level to defeat her.
"Okay," Luo Bingning nodded. "By the way, honey, my uncle called me. He found that piece of spiritual jade. He should be back on the afternoon flight."
Lin Tian's eyes lit up.
The spiritual jade that Luo Bingning had was nearly absorbed. With this new piece, she would undoubtedly reach the peak of the Dark Force level, though becoming a martial arts master would be less certain. With additional spiritual jade, she could definitely become a martial arts master. To completely solve her problems, she needed to become stronger.
Half an hour later, Lin Tian began treating Luo Bingning.
"Bingning, you lie down and cultivate. I’ll be in my room, recovering my internal energy," Lin Tian said after inserting the silver needles.
He touched Luo Bingning's head, feeling the Legendary Treasure Chest there. He didn't collect the other golden treasure chest for now, as managing two at once would be too difficult.
"Ding, Legendary Treasure Chest opened."
"Congratulations to the host, Feng Shui skill upgraded to Divine Level."
The system's voice sounded.
