Wait for the Flower to Bloom, Soak Your Feet

Everyone was shocked.

Little Rob suddenly woke up. He had shown compassion earlier.

However, at that moment, his head was full of cold sweat as he had evil thoughts.

He had a house, a car, and even money. However, why did he still feel so greedy earlier?

"Oh my God, if it were me, if the cactus bloomed, I would eat it without any hesitation."

"Aren't you afraid that you'll be in debt for the rest of your life?"

"That... that's not possible. Look, that old man is very benevolent."

The internet exploded.

At that moment, Carter came back to his senses and said excitedly, "Are you guys really blinded by material things? I told you, if Augustus blooms and one consumes its juice, it can have that kind of effect. This is a fact. However, it has to be done in a special way. There is a specific process to do it and the method has long been lost."

Little Rob could not help but send a comment. He asked, "Then what if someone really can't help but to eat the cactus?"

"Then there's no hope. I forgot to tell you guys earlier. If Augustus was eaten raw, it would be highly toxic. And its toxicity is not something that the current science can explain. In other words, if you eat the cactus raw, you will die in less than ten minutes."

Little Rob smiled bitterly and mumbled, "As expected, greed is the original sin of humans. If Adam or Eve did not eat the fruits of good and evil in the garden, I'm afraid there would not have been so many sins in the world."

After saying that, Little Rob drew a cross on his chest.

There was no one in the room.

However, the camera was still rolling. Everyone in the room could see everything clearly.

Time passed by whilst the moon hung high in the sky. 

Although they were outside, the small courtyard was unusually refreshing.

Everyone's enthusiasm did not decrease.

Was that Augustus?

Not only was it a cactus that was almost extinct, but it was also a precious medicinal herb?

The two botanists, who were thousands of miles away, were each more excited than the other.

Ordinary people would never be able to see Augustus bloom in their entire lives.

The comments also quieted down.

Almost everyone was holding their breaths.

The night was long, and Lynn could not sleep either. He soon walked outside. 

He saw the program team outside in the courtyard. There were more than ten people waiting outside the door.

Lynn asked, "Why aren't you sleeping? Are you like me, having insomnia when you're older?"

"Uh..."

Kaki walked to Lynn and said respectfully, "We're waiting. Augustus is blooming."

Lynn was stunned and said, "Then why aren't you waiting in the room?"

Kaki smiled awkwardly and said, "Senior, where are you going? It's so late and you're not going to bed."

"Ah, old, old, always insomnia, I'm going to soak my feet," replied Lynn.

"Foot bath?"

It is well known that soaking feet helps a person to sleep.

"There is nothing to see when a cactus blooms. Come and soak your feet with me. The cactus blooms once for exactly seven hours before it withers in the morning."

"What? This Augustus only blooms once for seven hours, while a normal Augustus takes a week to bloom before it withers. Could there be a connection?"

Carter typed on the public screen, "Senior Lynn, may I ask, how does it work?"

Kaki quickly showed it to Lynn.

"Oh, how would I know? I'm not a botanist. Anyway, this cactus blooms every midnight and withers in the morning at around seven. I also sleep late at night, and I realize that this thing actually blooms once in a while."

Everyone was a little speechless.

In order to ease the awkwardness, Kaki said, "Then let's not wait anymore. Let's go and soak our feet with the old man."

"Ah, okay, okay, let's go soak our feet."

Megan and Master Bei approached Lynn and said, "Senior Lynn, we'll go get the basin to soak our feet. Just tell us where it is."

Lynn did not stand on ceremony and directly told them the location of the basin.

Not long after, the two of them returned.

They looked confused. 

Master Morey, however, was excited. He said, "Senior Lynn, you... you... you actually used a wooden basin made of agarwood to soak your feet? Is this wooden basin made of the same material as the bed in the house?"

"Yes, this thing is nothing strange. It's just that when I use this wooden basin to soak my feet, it doesn't smell, so I didn't throw it away."

"Hahaha, is the old man really from Versailles?"

"I'm now certain that this must be the most expensive foot-soaking basin in the world."

After a day, everyone had been shocked enough.

After being shocked so many times, they became a little numb.

"Using 1000-year-old agarwood as a foot-soaking basin..."

Megan had a smile on her face. She walked to Lynn and said, "Senior Lynn, let me pour you some water."

Lynn was stunned.

How many years had it been since he heard such a gentle voice?

He was a little touched. The woman in front of him was very beautiful.

Although she said something normal, it touched Lynn's heart. After all, the little boy who was Arnold's descendant was only a child.

He was not allowed to do many tasks.

"Master, what's wrong?" asked the little boy.

"Nothing, nothing," said Lynn.

"Do you guys think that the way the old man looks at Megan, the great beauty, is a little strange?"

"Yes, I feel it. But if the old man opens his mouth, do you guys think that Megan will follow him into bed?"

"Ah, don't say that, my heart is broken. Why am I poor? Why am I not a big star? My Megan..."

The netizens were screaming. In the middle of the night, they watched a few celebrities soak their feet in the yard with Lynn.

Lynn was moved not because of one sentence from Megan. Instead, it was because he had sensed Megan's intentions. 

There was no utility in her intentions. She genuinely wanted to serve him. 

He was not a fool who had lived for hundreds of millions of years. He did not even know his specific age.

He had already existed when there were no humans around. At that time, there was no unit of time such as the 'year'.

Therefore, he could tell that while the people in front of him enjoyed fame, they were also passionate people.

Jaime liked to take advantage of people but he was still very kind.

Master Bei had a strong heart. He always thought of others. 

Megan was naturally kind and flirtatious, but not too flirtatious. Although she was a beautiful star loved by the nation, he could tell that she was a female star who was very restrained in her daily life. She knew what she should do and what she should not do.

As for Little Rob, although he had desires, he was able to restrain himself, which was very rare.

Within a radius of 100,000, or even 10,000 miles, was there anything that could escape Lynn's detection?

Naturally, Lynn was also very clear about Little Rob's greed for the cactus.

They all poured water into their individual basins. 

The few of them sat together and placed their feet into the hot water.

"It's so comfortable!"
