Volume 1, Chapter 29: Four Thousand Earned

After confirming the time with President Qian, Ye Cheng hung up the phone.

Old Man Li, who walked with a limp, took a glance and said, "Five minutes, two yuan and fifty cents."

Ye Cheng reached into his pocket and paid the amount. Having arrived only a few days ago, he was still not quite used to paying in cash. As he was about to leave, Old Man Li spoke up again. "Number Two, you managed to get so many mud crabs? Have you been out foraging at sea?"

Ye Cheng knew the man had overheard his conversation. There was no helping it; not having a mobile phone was truly inconvenient.

"Yes, I managed to get a few."

"Eighty crabs—you call that 'a few'? You're being far too modest." Old Man Li paused. "But didn't the village chief divide the areas? You didn't go and poach from someone else's territory, did you?"

"No, it was just the area the chief assigned to..."

Meanwhile, due to Qin He's appearance, Gu He and his group had been delayed here for quite some time.

The person my mother is talking about right now is none other than me. She actually wants to kick me out to make room for Meng Shuwei and Zhou Mingchuan. Faced with such a heartless mother, I truly lack the energy even to hate her.

A massive volley of black giant arrows struck Lin Chi's body, yet they caused him absolutely no harm.

Gu Hengzhou felt his arm, which had just been held, go slightly numb. "Come back in a quarter of an hour," he commanded in a hoarse voice, then immediately turned and used his light-body technique to depart.

"I thought you were already a shameless old pro." The remnant spirit of the Sacred White Tiger expressed surprise at Dai Mubai's thoughts.

The summer moonlight was quite bright, casting dappled light and shadows upon the young man through the dense leaves, a scene so tranquil and beautiful that one could not bear to disturb it.

At this moment, Lin Xian'er suddenly closed her eyes, making her intentions perfectly clear.

Tang Feng discovered that these entry-level skills were actually quite excellent in terms of cooldown and energy consumption; they were a perfect match when used together. As long as he timed things well, he could easily take down the black panther without losing a single drop of health.

In his previous life, when Shen Bo met Chu Yingtian, Chu had lost a leg and an eye and possessed a very eccentric personality. Shen Bo had little interaction with him then, which was why he failed to recognize him now.

"Fine, I'm coming over now. You better fucking wait for me!" Meng Shuwei was acting like a foul-mouthed delinquent, with every sentence containing an insult to the other party's mother.

Hearing these repeated requests, Chu Xuan did not decline. Watching the mount about to trample his face, he simply swung his palm out.

Before them rose a towering snow-capped peak. Above it, the aurora gathered, shimmering like colorful jellyfish, shifting like glazed glass, resembling ribbons and mirages.

They could not conceive of a reasonable explanation for why the Demon Queen would demand the suppression of the First Great Heavenly Demon Emperor, so they could only attribute it to her playing some kind of trick.

Besides, Meng Zhuihun's strength was quite formidable; if they had truly met before, it was unlikely they would have forgotten.

It was not a very eye-catching tea house, and the interior decoration appeared quite rough, entirely mismatched with Huo Lingfeng's status. Some of the plaster on the walls had clearly begun to crack.

Take the Tianwu Sect, for example: nearly thirty percent of martial artists who tested negative for Dragon Lord aptitude on the Heaven-Stealing Stone would choose not to enter the Dragon Nether Secret Realm.

The Sword Sect leader shook his head. Compared to the other factions, the foundation of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect was far too shallow; they possessed only the art of sword control.

Upon reaching the ninth tier of the Qingling Technique, one's strength could reach ten thousand catties. Like a human cannonball, one could leap over twenty meters in a single stride, moving like lightning, plucking leaves to fell flowers, and killing without a trace.

"Everything now depends on whether the Human Emperor can grasp the pulse of this era and attain the title of Emperor. I hope he does not disappoint us," said Sovereign Wuwei.

At this moment, all eight Supremes radiated light that pierced the heavens. The aura of the Emperor rank emerged, shaking the universe as they erupted in unison.

The situation on the field then reached a fever pitch, with Lü Yikong's offense becoming increasingly fierce as he returned a shot in kind.

Although he did not demand overtime as frequently as other game companies, he could not afford to waste resources like this.

"If you don't want to die, hand over the storage bag in your hand," that cold, clear voice rang out once more.

Deep inside, a rebellious voice whispered: Is it not allowed? Does he not even have the right to be angry?

However, the increase was mostly among city children; there were still too few rural college students. The foundations were just not the same.

Then, they took a boat to Malani, originally intending to make their fortunes in this hot land.

A team consisted of six beasts: four horses and two oxen. The horses that had previously picked up the educated youths were borrowed, and the two oxen were with Old Man Xu.

Especially Jiang Jingcheng, who was practically going crazy after missing several opportunities to practice in his physical education classes.

Due to their schedules, Jiang Qingci and his team spent less and less time at the studio, frequently away for roadshows or endorsement deals.

Xu Ruquan, on the other hand, remained as reticent as ever, seemingly unaffected by any of it.

Lin Xi naturally remembered this scene, as it had happened only a short while ago. To confirm, he turned to look at Hao Yang, who was silently drinking his coffee, though his eyes held a smile and his shoulders trembled slightly, as if he wanted to laugh but dared not.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sawamura Eriri snorted at the same time and turned their heads away coldly. Seeing this, Wang Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Xian nodded. He had eaten the Flat Peaches brought from the Journey to the West world, and they were indeed inferior to those previously rewarded by the Jade Emperor, so he guessed that this banquet was likely of a lower grade as well.

Lin Yi felt his blood boiling, his heart in his throat, waiting for the President's reply without daring to breathe.

The demon pressed a finger with long, sharp nails against his temple and said, "I have detected the soul signature of Yin Jue. The target data has been sent to you." After a moment, he added, "Understood." He then lowered his finger, and his crimson, monstrous body suddenly vanished from the spot.

This was an opportunity. Deep within, a voice was telling Liu Tuo that he must agree; only by agreeing would various possibilities open up.

The Azure Phoenix was a divine beast even more powerful than the Lu Wu he had encountered before, yet it had been subdued by someone. One could only imagine the strength of that individual; they were certainly no ordinary person.

It had to be said that although the captain had lost his memory, his aura of intimidation remained, and he could still slit a throat with a single sword stroke. Anyone trying to take advantage of Chen Xuanwu's amnesia was digging their own grave.

Previously, Lin Xi had assumed that the Supreme Human primarily used weapons like Purple Light Stones to fight, but this time, the opponent used their bare fists, and the skin was so hard that the Niyuan Sword couldn't even leave a scratch.

"I don't know. I was walking at the back. Both of them were visiting the morgue for the first time, and as soon as the word to leave was given, they walked straight out... Perhaps I was the only one who looked back..." The head nurse took the cup of water Wang Xi had poured and held it tightly in her hands as she spoke.

However, the moment Ru Ruoming turned and dodged, Yadong suddenly lunged from the water ahead, wrapping his arms tightly around the body Ru Ruoming had just moved away from. Ru Ruoming's beautiful face flashed with shock, but when she looked behind her, she realized the shadow was merely a palm formed of water, not the real Yadong.
