Chapter 12: Treating a Good Brother as an ATM, The Surge in Energy!
Translator: 549690339
[Bone Forging Fifth Level, with the strength of tens of thousands of pounds, your power has significantly increased!]
[You attempt to challenge a silver-level instance, your strength overwhelmingly crushes the silver-level boss, easily clearing the stage.]
Su Xing clenched his fists upon seeing this. The fact that he could crush a silver-level boss at the Fifth Level of Bone Forging showed that the potential and practical combat ability of cultivation were far higher than those of ordinary professionals!
You should know that a normal silver-level professional team of five, equipped with roles like tank, warrior, mage, and priest, could barely manage to defeat a silver-level boss.
And yet, he alone could crush them with ease!
“Is this the advantage of simultaneously refining the body and the Qi…”
Su Xing was very satisfied and continued to read on.
[Your business grows larger and larger, with a net worth exceeding ten billion.]
[That year, Wang Qingxuan came to you, offering you the first half of the Changchun Technique, you refused and asked her to help find the latter half for you.]
[Two years later, your sister died, and you attended her funeral.]
[Three years after, your good brother Fatty Yu also died, and you equally couldn’t do anything.]
[In the market fluctuation that occurred a year later, you made a killing, with your net worth exceeding one hundred billion.]
[You found Jin Congxue and wanted to buy those ten Spirit Stones from her.]
[Jin Congxue didn’t ask for money but made a request of you.]
[You took her virginity and were entangled with her for several months.]
[Jin Congxue was called up for duty, and a month later, news of her death came.]
[Four years later, the giant beast that blotted out the sky and sun appeared once again.]
[You flipped it the middle finger, and it swallowed the entire Great Xia Country in one bite.]
[You died at the age of thirty-six!]
[Your talent, “Unyielding Eyes”, activates!]
[You witnessed the human tragedy within the belly of the beast.]
[Ding, this simulation has ended!]
[You may choose one of the following rewards: Fitness Expert (Talent), Bone Forging Fifth Level (Cultivation Level), Qi Refinement Fifth Layer (Cultivation Level), Forty Spirit Stones (Item)]
Su Xing took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and looked at the rewards.
[Fitness Expert]: White talent, priced at 1000 energy points.
[Bone Forging Fifth Level]: Cultivation Level, priced at 4000 energy points.
[Qi Refinement Fifth Layer]: Cultivation Level, priced at 400 energy points.
[Forty Spirit Stones]: Item, priced at 40000 energy points.
Su Xing pondered for a while.
Fitness Expert was obviously a good talent, which could enhance his Body Refinement potential, but it was momentarily useless to him.
Bone Forging Fifth Level was a reward that could immediately enhance his strength, indeed very tempting.
As for Qi Refinement Fifth Layer, Su Xing ignored it outright.
What Su Xing truly wanted to exchange for were those forty Spirit Stones!
With these forty Spirit Stones, Su Xing could use them in subsequent simulations to quickly break through his strength!
Most crucially, the Qingyun Spirit Field instance was closing in less than a month’s time.
If Su Xing didn’t take out the Spirit Stones now, who knows if he would be able to get them again later…
Then Su Xing’s breakthrough would become hopeless indeed.
But having forty meant having countless stones…
Because as long as he refrained from using them, Su Xing’s initial number of Spirit Stones in each simulation would be forty!
And forty Spirit Stones might even suffice for him to cultivate to the Great Perfection of Qi Refinement, or even the Foundation Establishment Realm.
When the time comes to bring his Cultivation Level back from the simulator, wouldn’t that be splendid?
But the only problem was, Su Xing didn’t have enough energy points.
He currently had only 18240 energy points, and even if he sold all his money for white equipment, he could barely reach 2000 energy points.
There was still a gap of nearly half.
“Alas, a lack of money can stump even the bravest of heroes… seems like there’s only one way now!”
Su Xing sighed and then dialed Yu Yan’s mobile number.
“Hello, Fatty, can you hear me?”
“I can hear you! Damn, I was just about to enter an instance! You startled me… What do you want?”
“Well, uh, I’m a bit strapped for cash lately, lend me some money!”
“How much do you need?”
Su Xing asked brazenly, “Um, a hundred million! Do you have it?”
From the other end of the phone came Fatty Yu’s roar, “Do you freaking think I’m an ATM? A hundred million, why don’t you just dream on?”
Su Xing: “…”
“How much do you have now?”
“I can lend you fifty million at most! Not a penny more!”
“Fine, transfer the money over now!”
“Doot doot doot~”
The sound of the phone hanging up came from the mobile.
Ten minutes later, Su Xing’s bank account received a wire transfer of fifty million.
Su Xing looked at the huge sum of money that appeared in his bank account and was overcome with emotion.
Together with the five million that Yu Yan previously lent to Su Xing, the total loan to Su Xing was now fifty-five million!
Yu Yan might be a prodigy, but his family background was average at best. His main source of income was the reward from school and the money he made from selling equipment achieved in dungeons.
Apart from his own equipment purchases and strength enhancements, this fifty million was probably the most money Fatty Yu could muster.
After all, Yu Yan was likely not a Grandmaster-level professional yet.
Once Su Xing got the fifty million, he did not hesitate and immediately went to Kyoto’s biggest low-level professional equipment trading market to place a large order.
Su Xing ordered a batch of fifty thousand pieces of white-quality equipment.
This definitely counted as a big order, so the equipment market’s boss personally took the order and sold the items to Su Xing at the lowest price of one thousand per item.
However, due to the large quantity, the boss said he needed a week to gather the goods.
Therefore, after paying the deposit, Su Xing received only ten thousand pieces of white equipment right away.
Su Xing converted all these white equipment into energy.
As a result, Su Xing’s energy surged from eighteen thousand to a full seventy thousand points!
“Luckily, I can always claim rewards before the next simulation… otherwise, I really couldn’t save up this much energy at once.”
Without hesitation, Su Xing spent forty thousand points of energy to bring out forty Spirit Stones.
With forty Spirit Stones in hand, Su Xing felt a strong sense of security.
These Spirit Stones were the guarantee for him to make a fortune and improve his strength!
But forty Spirit Stones were still far from enough!
Su Xing narrowed his eyes. He planned to choose Spirit Stone rewards in the next several simulations to build up his initial capital.
After all, so far, the only way Su Xing knew to acquire Spirit Stones was through this one dungeon.
And this dungeon would officially open in a month.
Hence, Su Xing must accumulate as many Spirit Stones as possible before the “Green Cloud Spirit Field” dungeon officially opened.
“Soon… with enough Spirit Stones and the help of the simulator, my cultivation level will soar rapidly!”
Su Xing’s heart thumped excitedly.
But then, Su Xing said to himself:
“No… I can’t get carried away! In the future, Grandmaster-level experts are cannon fodder… The apocalypse is fifteen years away, and I still have a long way to go to change all that!”
Su Xing’s state of mind became even more steady.
Soon, a week passed and the day for another simulation arrived.
During this week, Su Xing diligently took his junior underclassmen into dungeons to level up and hunt for equipment daily.
Only, recently the new underclassmen’s levels had grown higher, so fewer and fewer sought Su Xing out for leveling.
In a week, Su Xing made less than five hundred thousand.
However, it was fortunate that the equipment trading market’s boss delivered the remaining forty thousand pieces of equipment on time.
Su Xing’s energy points soared once more, reaching a full 250,000 points!
For a short period, Su Xing was not worried about a lack of energy.
Su Xing glanced at the date, October 21st, 2023 New Era.
One month exactly until the Green Cloud Spirit Field dungeon opened.
After everything was ready, Su Xing chose to simulate.
“Start simulation!”
[700 points of energy consumed remaining energy 250,107 points, unlimited remaining simulation opportunities.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Extracting white talent costs 100 points of energy, green talent costs 1,000 points of energy, do you wish to extract?]
“Extract green talent”
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the green talent, Longevity.]
