"Now that things have come to this, let's eat first."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt hungry.

But...

"Senior Dugu, I don't think I have the local currency?"

emm...

Ye Susu's face turned a little red.

He was, after all, the head of the Ye family. Even Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent had to give him some face. But now? It seemed he didn't even have money for food.

"Don't worry, leave the meals to me. I'm a millionaire now, after all."

He Dugu Bo! He currently has over 20,000 Credits.

Of course, this is what's left after exchanging for basic cultivation techniques and elixirs.

Wei Xi gave him 50,000 yuan.

Whenever Shui Wuyue heard this, her mouth would water. You see, it took the whole city working hard to earn just over 20,000 yuan.

The exchange rate is ridiculously high.

Even Wei Lin, upon seeing this, had to secretly call him a shrewd businessman.

(Ningguang: Hmm? It seems our little baby is still a bit unconvinced. We need to discipline him a bit more.)

Stepping out of the gate, you'll find yourself in a bustling market.

All sorts of unfamiliar delicacies were neatly arranged on both sides of the road.

When they asked how much it cost, they learned that the food on display was free to enjoy during the Tianshu Celebration.

This saved them a huge sum of money.

Later, I found out that the people here can receive more than 6,000 Credits per month, and suddenly the delicious food in my hand didn't taste so good anymore.

"Sigh, it's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy."

Who can argue with that?

Ye Susu held a string of candied hawthorns and leaned against the small wooden bridge.

On the high platform, the ceremony of the Tianshu Grand Ceremony was being played, with teams of terrifyingly powerful troops marching past the Tianshu Tower.

They all had the same idea in their hearts.

If Tianshu really wanted to, they could probably conquer Douluo Continent with ease.

These country folk probably wouldn't last three days.

The celebration is still ongoing.

Dugu Bo and the others were quietly drinking their tea.

Everything around them seemed so out of place; even a random food vendor possessed the strength of Six-Ring Soul Emperor.

This place is terrifyingly strong.

Fortunately, they arrived here ahead of time.

One step ahead leads to continuous progress.

"Everyone says that being born into the right family is a skill, and I used to scoff at that, but now..."

Dugu Bo downed a glass of wine, his voice brimming with helplessness and self-deprecation.

"What others start is our finish line, at the very least."

Ye Susu was even worse off than Dugu Bo. Inside Tian Heng Department Store, she saw more than one way to lift the curse on her family, as if... it were commonplace.

"At least we have a goal now."

She's all ready. When she gets back, she'll call her family to come here and work as bricklayers to earn Credits.

They may not be able to support themselves, but they can certainly support a child.

If we could have the opportunity to obtain household registration, that would be even better.

It is said that Tianshu is preparing to increase the number of citizenship slots; anyone with 10,000 merit points can receive one slot.

For the first time, Ye Susu directly experienced the benefits brought by healing-type Soul Master.

Because doctors are so precious.

For the foreseeable future, Ye Susu will definitely be a nuclear-powered ox or horse.

When there is hope, people have something to look forward to.

As the celebration came to an end, Tianshu returned to its usual state.

Just go about your business as usual; at least for the next three years, there shouldn't be any problems.

Tianshu Tower -- Heavenly Palace on the Clouds.

Wei Lin slumped onto the sofa, completely exhausted.

Around him were the companions he had painstakingly drawn.

Five stars: Star, Firefly, Bell, Keqing, Columbina, Sandrone, Odette, Odette, Escoffier Ganyu, Sangonomiya Kokomi.

There were exactly ten people.

As for that certain blue lunatic and his possessions, I wonder where they're on their honeymoon.

He swept all the four-star characters in Genshin Impact.

I don't know if it's because Honkai: Star Rail's rank is too high or for some other reason, but I haven't pulled a single four-star Honkai: Star Rail 3rd.

It's only been half a year, and I've developed to this point, all thanks to my hard work.

Everyone: Huh~~~

Just when Wei Lin was about to give up, our Ningguang sister, wouldn't let our Traveler be idle.

"There's a Gengxin City in the Douluo Continent, which is currently the largest mining area on the Douluo Continent. I plan to take it over."

Is the Lou Gao?

When the topic turned to business, Wei Lin straightened up slightly.

"As one of the three great craftsmen of the Douluo Continent, if I can bring him over, it will definitely be a great help. His obsession with forging will allow him to create weapons and equipment even better."

Of course, our Tianshu's master craftsmen are no less skilled, but who would complain about having too many?

Ningguang was just offering a suggestion; frankly, given the industrial level of Tianshu, Lou Gao is really unnecessary.

The reason we're bringing up the Lou Gao now is just to give Wei Lin something to do. After all, Wei Lin is still too young to eat and is easily electrocuted.

But... having such a big piece of meat in front of me is really tempting.

For some reason, I feel like I'm about to get goosebumps.

"Okay, I'll go."

He actually understood that he had become quite lazy, spending all his time indoors.

The main problem is that his strength has improved too quickly; in the blink of an eye, he can now take on the entire continent single-handedly.

There's a saying that goes, "If you have a sharp blade in your heart, the desire to kill will naturally arise."

Of course, although he had no intention of killing, his personality had become completely lazy.

Although there may not be many, once the signs appear, things can easily go wrong.

Wei Lin was well aware that he had been an ordinary citizen in his previous life, and for the first ten years or so after arriving here, he had struggled to make ends meet.

Although he kept saying he was tired and sleepy, he didn't miss a single thing that needed to be done or learned.

If you don't know how, then learn.

If there's a problem with your attitude, then change it.

He lived for a total of only thirty-odd years across his two lifetimes, and both times he was at the bottom of society.

Knowledge and ability cannot be changed overnight.

Although the system said that all of this could be treated as a game, but... when he shouted the words "comrades," he was no longer an ordinary person.

He is Wei Lin, the city lord of Tianshu, the heir to the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State), and the universally acknowledged Crown Prince.

They trust me, respect me, and love me.

How could I possibly let them down?

I'll say it again.

No, I'll learn.

Weaknesses, correct them.

"Ugh~ I guess I've somehow ended up on top of the high-speed train myself, especially since... I'm the one being pushed along."

Seeing that Wei Lin had perked up again, everyone laughed.

Yes, Old Wei has many flaws. He likes to slack off, likes to run away, and likes to sneak around watching them, but... that's just who he is.

It has many shortcomings, but also many advantages.

(Wei Lin: Nonsense! What do you mean by sneaking around? I was clearly looking openly and honestly.)

People say Liu Shan was mediocre, but his strength was that he knew he was mediocre.

Wei Lin knew this all too well. He could just learn it, learn it to the bone.

Unlike Liu Shan, his father (or mother) was just "born".
