Telling His Parents

"Mom! Sis! I'm back!"

The moment he entered, Chen Mo shouted.

Before his voice had even faded, Chen Wan'er came running out of her room on her little short legs.

"Brother!"

"Don't run, Sis!"

Chen Mo immediately set the shopping bag in his hand on the floor. In a flash, he appeared before Chen Wan'er and scooped her up in his arms.

"Heeheehee..."

Held in Chen Mo's arms, Chen Wan'er quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and giggled.

"Brother! I missed you!"

Hearing his sister's words, the scolding Chen Mo had been about to give her was immediately swallowed back down.

"I really don't know what to do with you!"

Chen Mo shifted Chen Wan'er to his left arm, holding her with one hand while freeing his right. He walked over to the shopping bag he had just placed on the floor, bent down, and picked it up.

Chen Wan'er naturally looked to see what Chen Mo had bought. Spotting a gray object poking out of the bag, she pointed at it and asked.

"Brother, what's that?"

"That's a little bear. It's a gift Brother bought for you."

"A gift? Really?"

Chen Wan'er was overjoyed. She hurriedly hugged Chen Mo's neck and kissed him on the cheek. "Brother, thank you!"

Carrying Chen Wan'er and the shopping bag, Chen Mo walked into the living room. He placed the bag on the coffee table, sat down on the sofa, and set Chen Wan'er beside him.

He leaned over and took the little bear, sealed in a transparent plastic bag, out of the shopping bag. "Here, this is your gift."

"But don't open the packaging yet. I'll wash it clean later before letting you play with it!"

Chen Wan'er was frail and often sick. Who knew how long the toy had been sitting in the supermarket, or how much bacteria had stuck to it? Only after disinfecting it would Chen Mo feel at ease letting her play with it.

"Mhm, mhm!" Holding the little bear, Chen Wan'er lowered her head to examine it carefully. Obediently, she did not open the packaging.

At that moment, Mother Chen came out as well. Seeing that Chen Mo had bought so many things, and especially seeing the price on the Fierce Beast Meat, her heart ached.

"Little Mo, why did you buy so much?"

"Mom, it's nothing. I made money today, so I bought some things to celebrate."

"Even if you made money, you didn't have to spend it all at once, did you?" Everything on the coffee table added up to nearly two thousand.

Mother Chen felt sorry for the money, but she also felt sorry for how hard her son had worked to earn it, only to spend it all away.

"It's fine, Mom. I've already passed the sparring partner test at Wuji Martial Arts Gym. I earn five hundred an hour, so making money is much easier now."

"If I spend it today, I can earn it back another day. Besides, didn't I tell you yesterday? My Basic Saber Technique has reached the Perfection Realm."

"Someone at my level is relatively rare. I can also make money teaching others. Today, I met a rich person who paid me ten thousand an hour for guidance."

He had originally wanted to tell her about the hundred-thousand-yuan guidance fee, but he was afraid his mother would not believe him, so Chen Mo could only lower the figure a little.

There was another reason as well. That hundred thousand had been transferred through his friend list, not sent as a tip through the Wuji Martial Arts Gym app, so it would be hard to explain where the money had come from.

If he said it was a guidance fee, his mother might not believe him.

Who would pay a hundred thousand yuan in guidance fees? Your father's annual salary wasn't even a hundred thousand.

Even so, Mother Chen was utterly shocked.

"What? Ten thousand an hour?"

Mother Chen hurried over to Chen Mo and reached out to tug at his clothes. Chen Mo quickly dodged. "Mom, what are you doing?"

"Little Mo, are you hurt anywhere?"

"No, Mom. You don't think I ran into a scammer, do you? Mom, you're worrying too much. I work at Wuji Martial Arts Gym—who would dare scam me?"

"One report to the gym, and he'd be unable to bear the consequences!"

Chen Mo did not know whether to laugh or cry. To reassure his mother, he took out his phone, opened the Wuji Martial Arts Gym app, found the sparring partner profile he had registered, and showed it to her.

"Mom, look. This is my information at Wuji Martial Arts Gym."

Mother Chen took the phone and examined it carefully. His name, ID number, phone number, cultivation realm, martial skill realm, and other information were all listed there.

When she saw that his Basic Saber Technique was at the Perfection Realm, she was stunned for a moment.

She rubbed her eyes and looked again. Nothing had changed. By then, she believed more than half of it.

To confirm whether it was real, she exited the profile page and browsed the app's homepage. Then she completely closed the app and checked its icon, only relaxing after confirming it was not a pirated app.

At that point, she completely believed that her son had been telling the truth. Her son's Basic Saber Technique had reached the Perfection Realm!

Naturally, she knew how rare the Perfection Realm of the Basic Saber Technique was. Earning ten thousand yuan an hour was indeed possible.

"If only Little Mo's Dantian..."

Thinking of her son's Dantian, Mother Chen's heart was filled with boundless grief.

Her son had been the one with the greatest hope of becoming a Martial Artist!

However, she quickly adjusted her emotions, returned the phone to Chen Mo, and smiled.

"Little Mo, Mom believes you! Your Basic Saber Technique has reached the Perfection Realm. Charging ten thousand an hour to guide people is what you deserve."

"But now that you're earning money, use it to improve your own strength. You don't need to spend it on us."

"Mom, making money is easy for me. Spending a little on you and Dad is nothing." Chen Mo understood his mother's thoughts, but he did not heed her advice.

"You and Dad worked so hard to raise me. Now that I can earn money, I naturally have to let you live better lives."

"Then wait until you have more money! You've only just started earning. There's no need to spend money like water."

"Mom, I know!" Chen Mo did not want to keep dwelling on the subject, so he changed the topic. "Mom, the Fierce Beast Meat we bought is still fresh. Take it and cook it."

"Mhm. Your father should be back soon. I'll go make dinner."

Mother Chen took the Fierce Beast Meat to the kitchen to cook, while Chen Mo played with Chen Wan'er.

When Father Chen came home that evening, he too only fully believed that Chen Mo's Basic Saber Technique had reached the Perfection Realm after looking at the information on Chen Mo's phone.

Hearing that Chen Mo could make money so easily, he could not help but sigh in amazement.

In the end, Chen Mo persuaded his father not to take odd jobs anymore. Father Chen agreed verbally.

The family happily ate dinner, then watched television together.

Tonight, Chen Mo's parents were especially happy. Their child could earn money now.

They were also comforted. Even if their son could not become a Martial Artist, with the Basic Saber Technique at the Perfection Realm alone, he would never be unable to find work or earn money.

Moreover, Chen Mo was also a sparring partner at Wuji Martial Arts Gym.

That night, so as not to disturb their son, Father Chen and Mother Chen brought their daughter into their own room, letting Chen Mo sleep alone.

But Chen Mo had no time to sleep.

After returning to his room, he used books to make a target and practiced the Flying Toothpick.

Chen Mo compared two methods—flicking it out with his fingers and throwing it with a swing of his hand. Considering that he would need to injure enemies in the future, he chose the latter method.

This method could bring the power of his entire body into play, giving it the greatest killing force.

It could be effective at any realm.

After getting ready, Chen Mo did not immediately begin throwing needles. Instead, he searched online for instructional videos on throwing needles and Flying Daggers.

After looking around, he found that they were all paid videos, so Chen Mo had no choice but to give up.

"I'll have to figure it out myself. Anyway, I have the Diligent Heaven Rewards talent."
