1 Million Spirit Coins! [Please Send Flowers, Bookmark, Rate!]

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Hengxing would never have believed it was real!

In just twenty days, he had advanced from an Intermediate Quasi-Warrior to a Senior Quasi-Warrior.

How high did that Cultivation Aptitude have to be?!

"Damn it, cultivate my ass!"

Zhang Hengxing viciously smashed the bottle of mineral water in his hand onto the floor!

Clearly, he had suffered a severe blow and had been utterly provoked by Su Xiaobai.

He had thought he could work even harder and, with his family's resources plus his own Cultivation Aptitude, pull off a magnificent reversal...

Yet before he even made a sound, someone else had already strangled him in the cradle!

"However... since I've discovered such a genius, I can't let another family beat me to the punch!"

Zhang Hengxing took several deep breaths and finally calmed down a little. "If I can befriend him and gain his help, perhaps my Zhang Family will one day have a place in Base No. 18 as well!"

Base No. 18 had a population of ten million.

The Zhang Family could be considered wealthy, but when it came to actual power and status, they had pitifully little.

Otherwise, why would he need to cultivate in the Cultivation Rooms at Warrior Hall?

Wouldn't it be much more convenient to spend a fortune building a Cultivation Room at home?

In this day and age...

Talented elites were king.

If a family recruited enough talented elites, they could add bricks and tiles to its foundation and prepare for its future rise to power!

Therefore, whenever the various families discovered a genius, they would immediately throw out huge sums of money to recruit them!

"Su Xiaobai!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Hengxing no longer hesitated. He decisively chased after Su Xiaobai and called out to stop him.

"Hm?"

Su Xiaobai turned around. When he saw Zhang Hengxing, he found him somewhat unfamiliar at first, but information about Zhang Hengxing quickly popped into his mind.

They were classmates.

He was also one of the people in their class who had advanced to Junior Quasi-Warrior early on.

At the same time, details of Zhang Hengxing's background appeared in Su Xiaobai's eyes.

Human: Zhang Hengxing

Realm Level: Junior Quasi-Warrior

Strength Level: Junior Quasi-Warrior

Stamina Level: Intermediate Quasi-Warrior

Agility Level: Junior Quasi-Warrior

Cultivation Aptitude: Low Grade

Techniques Mastered: Moon Ghost Spear (Junior), Tiger King Technique (Junior)

"His realm is Junior Quasi-Warrior, yet his Stamina Level has reached Intermediate Quasi-Warrior?"

"He's a talent!"

Su Xiaobai silently sized him up.

However, compared to Su Xiaobai's entirely Senior Quasi-Warrior-level attributes, Zhang Hengxing was clearly more than one tier behind.

"Zhang Hengxing, did you need something from me?"

Su Xiaobai asked.

"Su Xiaobai, have... have you already reached Senior Quasi-Warrior?"

Zhang Hengxing hesitated for a moment before asking.

"?!"

Su Xiaobai raised an eyebrow, and vigilance immediately flashed in his eyes.

In a society where strength reigned supreme, strength might earn respect, but it also invited envy!

Some powerful families and factions, in order to secure their own positions, would silently assassinate any genius they discovered who threatened their status!

This was the cruelest dark side of this world.

Su Xiaobai knew this, which was why he had never acted too high-profile...

Yet he had never expected to be discovered anyway!

"Don't misunderstand, I don't mean anything else by it, and I didn't deliberately investigate you... it's just that every time you came to Warrior Hall to collect your subsidies recently, I happened to see you!"

Zhang Hengxing hurriedly explained.

Damn!

I forgot about that!

Su Xiaobai suddenly realized.

He should have collected them separately. He had come three times in a row within a single month; anyone even slightly observant could have noticed!

But there was no helping it... he had already burned through all the money from before. If he did not collect the subsidies, he would have had to go out and find work!

Working was impossible. Working was absolutely impossible in this lifetime.

"Then what did you want from me?"

Su Xiaobai said.

"I want to invite you to join my Zhang Family!"

Zhang Hengxing said seriously, "Before school let out, you hadn't even become a Quasi-Warrior. Yet only two months into the break, you've already reached Senior Quasi-Warrior... your Cultivation Aptitude must be extremely high!"

"I can fully represent the Zhang Family in extending this invitation. As long as you become a Guest Elder of our Zhang Family, we guarantee that we will treat you with the highest courtesy!"

Now Su Xiaobai understood.

So the other party had seen how quickly he had advanced, assumed his Cultivation Aptitude was exceptionally high, decided he was a genius, and wanted to recruit him in advance.

Then again, it made sense. If it were him, he would have thought the same thing and could not have resisted extending an olive branch either!

"Well... for the time being, I have no intention of joining any family or faction."

As soon as Su Xiaobai said this, the hope in Zhang Hengxing's eyes visibly dimmed. "However... if your Zhang Family can show enough sincerity, I can consider it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hengxing's eyes immediately lit up again. "What do you want? Just say it. As long as my Zhang Family can provide it!"

"I don't actually want much. How about this? Give me one million Ten Thousand Spirit Coins, and I'll become a Guest Elder of your Zhang Family. What do you think?"

Su Xiaobai asked tentatively.

Originally, he truly had not wanted to join any family.

But when he thought about money being delivered right to his door, why should he refuse it?

He had to unlock the system's functions first, no matter what!

And he had initially wanted to ask for one hundred thousand.

But then he thought, since he could name his price, why not ask for more?

After all, besides the one million needed to unlock and activate the One-Click Training Space, he also needed money to upgrade the One-Click Cultivation Space!

"One million Ten Thousand Spirit Coins?"

"Alright! No problem!"

Zhang Hengxing agreed without hesitation, his face brimming with excitement.

Holy shit! He agreed that quickly?!

Damn! I lowballed myself!

Su Xiaobai regretted it inwardly.

If he had known Zhang Hengxing would agree so readily, he should have asked for two million outright!

Forget it... I'll just count it as taking a small loss. With one million, I won't have to risk my life scraping money together anymore!

If Zhang Hengxing had not made this invitation, Su Xiaobai would have waited until he became a Warrior, joined a Hunting Squad, then gone outside the base to hunt Fierce Beasts and sell their corpses...

He would have continued until he had gathered the one million needed to unlock the One-Click Training Space.

That would have taken at least several months.

And fighting in the wilderness could easily lead to unexpected accidents. Getting injured was a minor matter; dying on the spot was nothing unusual... Zhang Hengxing's arrival had saved Su Xiaobai a great deal of effort!

"Guest Elder, this is a Warrior Hall bank card. It has a balance of one million Ten Thousand Spirit Coins, and the password is six zeroes!"

Zhang Hengxing respectfully handed a bank card to Su Xiaobai.

Although they were of the same generation, this was the proper etiquette for a Guest Elder.

Su Xiaobai stared at the bank card with its balance of one million Ten Thousand Spirit Coins, his eyes shining brightly.
