Chapter 41 - 41 Birthday Banquet (Seeking Recommendations, Monthly Passes, and Followers)_1



Sky God International, inside a certain laboratory.

“Are you saying that there was a battle at the seaport tonight?”

“Yes, Mr. Sang. We checked and there was a Silver Grid Ship that arrived in Da Peng City from Dunlin City tonight, and it is suspected that members of the special science department of the Federation Research Institute were involved….”

Inside the nutrient tank, a plain-looking middle-aged man mused, “Whom do you suspect?”

The young man paused for a moment, “The Old Gods Association.”

Mr. Sang narrowed his eyes and said softly, “I also think it’s them. Every time I think about Wuji dying at their hands, it’s very hard for me to take it. Tell me, what should I do?”

“Blood debts must be paid in blood!” the young man said decisively.

Mr. Sang suddenly asked, “Lord Huan Ling reported that he suspected he’d discovered traces of the Old Gods Association. Has he returned?”

“Lord Huan Ling has not yet returned. He said that their counter-surveillance ability is very strong and asked us not to disturb them,” the young man replied respectfully.

Mr. Sang nodded, “Then we’ll wait for his news. Have you found the person I asked you to investigate? When did the Old Gods Association have a new face?”

The young man shook his head, “I’m sorry, Mr. Sang, we still have no leads regarding the Demon King’s identity… It’s as if he appeared out of thin air.”

“So Lan Feng really is a member of the Old Gods Association?”

“Based on the clues at hand, it’s highly likely that Lan Feng is a subordinate member developed by Arrogance. Of course, there’s also a 10% chance that he is Arrogance himself, but Arrogance also only started making public moves two months ago, and information about him is scarce.”

Mr. Sang, upon hearing this, rubbed his temples in irritation.

“We know nothing about the Old Gods Association.”

The young man bowed respectfully, “The resurgence of the Old Gods Association is powerful. I think they must be prepared. Having learned from past experiences, they are now much more cautious than before. Each member is an individual and does not know the others’ identities. Yet, they also function collectively. It is said that their headquarters holds all the members’ identity information, but very few people know these details.”

Mr. Sang snorted coldly, “Da Peng City is not their world!”

The next morning.

After having a hearty meal of Black Blood Beast Meat, Pei Jinye finally restored 1 card of Vitality Value.

“The responsibility is heavy and the road is long,” he sighed.

He went home to pick up the flesh sent from Second Middle School.

To his surprise, Father Pei and Mother Pei had not gone to do business today.

It turned out that relatives had come to the house to collect a debt.

Father Pei and Mother Pei were in a difficult position, including the twenty thousand for Pei Jinye’s renovation funds, the family only had a total of 290,000.

“Old Pei, it’s not that I want to make this difficult for you. My son is getting married this year and really needs the money. Didn’t you borrow 300,000 from me before? I’ll charge you less interest, so 320,000 should be okay, right? We agreed before that no matter whether it’s been a year or not, we’ll charge 10% interest. I’m saving you 10,000, which is as generous as I can be,” said the uncle.

“Uncle San,”

Pei Jinye suddenly called out.

Everyone turned to look.

The other party did not have much to say, nodded his head, and continued to speak to Father Pei and Mother Pei, “I heard that your family is looking for a renovation company, you must have earned some money, right? We’re relatives; you should think of me when you make money. When I lent you the money, your sister didn’t hesitate, right?”

Father Pei nodded, “I know, but I really can’t get that much money right away.”

“How much can you pay?” the middle-aged man pressed on.

Pei Jinye stepped forward, took Father Pei’s arm, who was in a predicament, and said, “Did you bring the IOU?”

The middle-aged man was taken aback, fumbling in his pocket, his expression hesitant.

Seeing this, Pei Jinye said directly, “Go home and get the IOU, and I’ll transfer the money to you.”

“You—” The middle-aged man was suddenly at a loss.

Pei Jinye didn’t give him a chance to inquire further and urged, “If you want the money, don’t ask so much. Hurry up.”

“Alright, but remember, I must get the money today!”

The middle-aged man turned and immediately made a phone call, “Bring the IOU from the drawer… No nonsense, hurry up. I’m at your brother’s place.”

Mother Pei pulled Pei Jinye, a worried look in her eyes.

Pei Jinye smiled and comforted her, “Don’t worry, there’s money. Who else do we owe? Pay them all off. It’s hard for everyone to make money these days; I can understand.”

While speaking, his gaze drifted toward his so-called Uncle San.

The money was borrowed by Aunt San, and Uncle San complained the most at the time.

But after all, they did owe the money, so Pei Jinye didn’t say anything. Although they had received some money before, it was still tight, so Pei Jinye hadn’t brought it up. They had said before they would borrow for a year, so Pei Jinye’s family hadn’t expected the creditors to come so soon.

However, since they had come, everything was to be settled.

“There’s also your little uncle’s family; they borrowed 100,000. Your little aunt’s family is 100,000, and you owe your eldest uncle 200,000,” Father Pei said hesitantly and quietly.

Pei Jinye nodded, “Notify them all to bring the IOUs. Pay them off. You don’t have to work so hard anymore, the two elders. I’ll make more money on my side to make up for it.”

In total, that’s 720,000.

He could afford it.

During the quiet wait of more than ten minutes, the living room was deathly silent.

Soon.

Pei Jinye’s Aunt San brought the IOU. She seemed a bit embarrassed, glaring at her husband before saying she didn’t want the two thousand yuan in interest. However, her husband wouldn’t budge, shouting indignantly, “Why forgo it!”

Pei Jinye didn’t waste words, took the IOU, confirmed it was correct, and transferred the money immediately.

The account’s 500,000 shrank by 320,000.

But there was no need to worry, there was still over a million on Huan Ling’s side.

Uncle San, seeing how direct Pei Jinye was, began to hesitate. Had he gone too far? He hinted around, “Xiao Ye, have you had an awakening? Even if you have, you shouldn’t have earned so much money. Don’t go down the wrong path; there are unscrupulous businessmen in Da Peng City who specialize in deceiving you young kids with little worldly experience.”

Pei Jinye lifted his gaze and swept it over him, “None of your damn business.”

“You!” Uncle San was instantly furious, insulted to his face by a junior.

Aunt San, embarrassed, quickly pulled him away and left.

Uncle Three descended the stairs and, seeing the money had arrived, the expression on his face finally showed quite a bit of joy as he muttered under his breath, “What exactly have you been up to, my little nephew, to have so much money?”

Upstairs.

Father Pei and Mother Pei both looked over: “Little Ye, this money…”

Pei Jinye smiled, “Didn’t I say I joined a Cultivation Pavilion? I’m training there now, being a sparring partner for others, ten thousand a day.”

Father Pei, Mother Pei looked at each other.

Pei Jinye spoke of truth mixed with fiction: “The people inside are either rich or prestigious. Just like that senior of mine, last time she brought me out for tea, a cup cost twenty-eight thousand…and there’s the Blood Spirit Fruit, a high-end fruit that replenishes Vitality.”

Father Pei nodded, “I’ve heard of it, seems very expensive?”

He looked over uncertainly.

Pei Jinye nodded, “Yes, fifty thousand for one, I ate two of them, they really are good. I’ll buy some and bring them home next time. To them, that amount of money is like a few dollars in your eyes.”

“We don’t need it.” Father Pei, Mother Pei rejected it immediately.

After saying that, Father Pei couldn’t help but express his amazement, “So much money. You must apply yourself.”

“Don’t worry.”

Pei Jinye smiled.

Definitely applying himself.

With the blood-replenishing medicinal materials in tow, he headed for the Bronze Association, which had facilities dedicated to brewing medicine.

Pei Jinye prepared the medicinal brew and then went to the martial training field to practice.

Two hours later, after finishing the Medicinal Soup, his Vitality Value recovered by another 0.8 card.

Although he was still some distance from his peak, at least everything was progressing in the right direction.

“I’ll take out some money tonight…”

It wasn’t long before Pei Jinye received a call from Tang Huoyang.

“Old Pei, where are you? I’ll have my driver pick you up.”

“No need for that trouble.”

“It’s fine, are you at the pavilion? I guessed you’d be there, my driver’s already on his way, will arrive in ten minutes.”

Pei Jinye hung up the phone with a cry and a laugh.

Heading to the restroom at the pavilion to take a hot shower and then putting on a set of clean clothes, Pei Jinye took the gift he had prepared that morning to the entrance of the pavilion.

“Mr. Pei, Young master asked me to collect you.”

The driver was a man in his thirties, shrewd in appearance, and spoke very politely and cautiously, taking the initiative to open the car door for Pei Jinye.

Pei Jinye, not putting on airs, expressed his thanks and swiftly got into the car.

Ten minutes later.

Swan Lake Hotel.

The driver led Pei Jinye to the entrance of the private room, then said politely, “Mr. Pei, please go in. I will not enter.”

“Thanks.”

“You’re too polite.”

At that moment, the door opened and a short-haired young man was surprised to see Pei Jinye.

Just then, Tang Huoyang’s call came from behind the door: “Old Pei!”

He came over to greet him.

“Didn’t I tell you not to bring a gift, but you brought one anyway?”

Pei Jinye shook his head, “Just don’t look down on it.”

“How could I.” Tang Huoyang happily accepted the gift, then, wrapping his arm around Pei Jinye, introduced him to the young men and women sitting around the big round table, “My brother, Pei Jinye. Those we have here today are all our own. Let me warn you all in advance, Pei has a good relationship with Sister Xiao Yong. Whoever ends up offending Sister Xiao Yong later on had better kneel and ask for forgiveness on their own. Don’t come to me for help.”

Hearing that this unfamiliar young man was connected to Li Xiaoyin, everyone’s attitude changed a bit.

“Li Ao here, call me Old Li or Six, either is fine.”

“Wang Chong.”

“You’re not Sister Xiao Yong’s little boyfriend, are you?” the girl beside him asked curiously, her big eyes blinking.

“She’s my senior.”

“Hello, I’m Lan Ranran.”

After making the rounds, everyone was quite curious about Pei Jinye.

These young men and women, similar in family background to Tang Huoyang, though Pei Jinye could sense that some were ordinary people who hadn’t awakened yet.

But because they had all grown up together, the friendship among them was strong.

“Old Pei, which school are you from?”

Pei Jinye turned to the girl who had asked, her name was Lan… “Second Middle School.”

“Then do you know Sun Ruofan? I attended drawing classes with her before,” the curly-haired girl leaned in to ask.

A faint scent of perfume wafted over to him.

Without a change in expression, Pei Jinye shifted his seating posture: “I’ve seen her a few times.”

The curly-haired girl seemed thoughtful.

Nobody asked about awakening, after all, there were quite a few ordinary people present and nobody wanted to hurt anyone’s pride by bringing it up.

“Bang!”

The door to the private room was suddenly slammed open.
