Song Xu is a top student at White Dragon High School.

He was also the "boss" Mo Tianyi mentioned, and the founder of the Poor People Genius Alliance.

At the same time, their family also comes from the Song Family, one of the Sixteen Great Clans in Songyang City.

But Song Xu didn't see any contradiction between the two; after all, who said that someone with the Song Family blood couldn't be poor?

For example, in each generation of the Song Family, many people were laid off and had to work to pay off their debts. After several generations, their descendants naturally became poor.

It is said that Song Xu's great-grandfather could still kneel before the main members of the Song Family, but by his generation, he didn't even have any friends like Song Hailong.

To most outsiders, they didn't even know that Song Xu's ancestors were from the powerful Song Family; they just thought they shared the same surname.

Fortunately, their family ultimately understood the power of blood ties, with each generation investing their parents' gold coins to themselves and bravely climb to the peak of Immortal Dao.

Just like a famous saying from a senior member of the Song Family, instead of complaining about the environment, complain about your family.

Song Xu's grandfather had been a role model for his elders, earning gold coins along the way, getting into university, becoming a company employee, supporting his entire family single-handedly, and becoming a role model in Song Xu's eyes.

Song Xu's father was a little short. Although he also spent a lot of his parents' gold coins, he didn't invest in himself. Instead, he gambled away all the power of the Lineage bond in one go.

When he learned that his grandfather's pension had been completely depleted, his father had sold off the family house, and all their assets had been gambled away...

Song Xu felt like he was on a giant slide, but his father, who was sliding down in front of him, had a huge blob of diarrhea, while Song Xu could only watch in despair as he slid down.

The only saving grace was that, just as his father was about to mortgage Song Xu to unleash another wave of bond power, Song Xu preemptively mortgaged his father to the main branch of the Song Family, earning his first pot of gold.

Then Song Xu sold off the last remaining inheritance left by his grandfather.

"Grandpa, there's no time to wait for the Cemetery and your body to appreciate in value."

"Now I need you to contribute your last bit of energy."

"Please bless your grandson from heaven, and wish me good fortune in my journey to Immortal Dao, so that I may be able to make great progress and get into a good university."

Excavation Palm! Level 3 propulsion! Grandpa! Unearth me!

After selling his grandfather's Cemetery and body, Song Xu earned his second fortune.

Unfortunately, this is the last piece of Cemetery and the last body left in their family's grave.

No matter how careful Song Xu was with his money, he knew he wouldn't have enough to last until he graduated high school.

Fortunately, he then encountered an opportunity that would change his life.

He encountered a being known as the Evil God.

In the Spirit Realm, Asking Dao Hall.

Song Xu, who was hiding his identity, came here this time because of Zhang Yu's matter.

"If there really is an Evil God behind Zhang Yu, then by hunting him down, I can further enhance my potential..."

"Then getting into one of the top ten universities in the future is a sure thing."

As the thought flashed through Song Xu's mind, he heard Mo Tianyi ask, "Boss, what's the purpose of finding Zhang Yu this time?"

Song Xu explained calmly, "According to my investigation, the rapid growth of these two people in the past six months is due to a certain reason."

"If I can understand this reason, I will be much more confident in getting into one of the top ten universities next year."

Hearing this, Mo Tianyi nodded secretly. Since it concerned whether his boss could get into the top ten, he would naturally do his best to help. Even if he didn't get overtime pay and worked Unpaid Overtime at the Asking Dao Hall, even if the company found out that he had leaked customer information, he would still accompany him to the end.

Song Xu continued watching the images sent by Mo Tianyi.

The security guards and a large number of workers engaged in a fierce battle. Yu Xinghan was caught in the middle of it all, feeling as insignificant as a drop of water in the ocean.

Fists, clubs, knives, and spears came from all directions, and his Martial Dao skills could only barely keep him from falling.

However, the Heavenly Martial Heart Refinement Art operated even more smoothly in this environment of constant battles and fierce fighting.

At the same time, an announcement came from the factory gate.

A woman's voice shouted, "Give it your all! Whether you kill or injure, the factory will pay for it! They'll cover all medical expenses!"

Upon hearing these words, Yu Xinghan felt a surge of joy. He activated the mental cultivation technique in his mind and unleashed the moves of the Heavenly Martial Heart Refinement Art, defeating several workers in succession.

"There's no need to hold back."

"There's no need to consider compensation."

"There's no need to worry about medical expenses... just fight to your heart's content!"

At this moment, Yu Xinghan felt his mind and spirit surging, his fighting spirit soaring to the sky, and the power in his body was constantly surging out. He was becoming more and more like a fish in water on this battlefield.

Mo Tianyi explained, "The Illusion Realm allows them to temporarily forget everything in the real world and immerse themselves completely in the current situation. The more their thoughts align with the mental cultivation method, the stronger the method's effect will be."

"For example, Yu Xinghan's High Cultivator the Heavenly Martial Heart Refinement Art on the battlefield to enhance his Dao Heart is many times more effective than cultivation in reality..."

Song Xu nodded casually and asked, "What about the other two?"

Mo Tianyi apologized, "The owner of this Illusion Realm is Yu Xinghan, so I can't adjust the perspective at will." "However, as long as you keep watching, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen will definitely appear."

Meanwhile, a major battle within the Illusion Realm temporarily ended.

Yu Xinghan hurried back to the factory to rest, only to find the boss personally coming to them to offer his condolences.

Bai Zhenzhen squeezed Yu Xinghan's hand and said, "Well done, you'll get a raise next month."

"Come, come with me to inspect the factory."

"Many workers in the factory are outwardly compliant but inwardly resentful. Help me teach them a lesson later."

Seeing this, Song Xu asked curiously, "Is this Bai Zhenzhen the boss? What kind of cultivation method does she practice?"

Mo Tianyi replied, "She registered the Frost Soul Ice Heart Art, a cultivation method very suitable for investors."

"Being able to detach from distractions, stabilize one's mind, remain calm and composed at all times, and calculate gains and losses with a detached and detached perspective."

"Many stock market investors practice this mental technique to aid their investment decisions."

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

"It seems they want her, as the boss, to maintain a pure heart amidst various internal and external pressures, in order to enhance her understanding of the Frost Soul Ice Heart Art and strengthen her Dao Heart..."

Song Xu nodded slightly as he listened, but he also knew that when this Frost Soul Ice Heart Art was first created, it wasn't for any kind of investment or stock market.

"This is a mental cultivation method purely for combat, especially for assassination."

"The key is to maintain a clear mind and composure before and after taking action, ignoring all external distractions and focusing all your attention on the battle at hand, calculating the gains and losses from an outsider's perspective."

"However, compared to combat and assassination, running a factory involves a lot of mystery, deception, pressure from all sides, emotional stress from changing circumstances, and calculating gains and losses... all of which are far more complex than combat."

"If one can maintain a pure heart in such a complex environment and still calmly calculate gains and losses, then one's understanding of the Frost Soul Ice Heart Art will inevitably be deeper, and the tempering of Dao Heart will be exceptionally effective."

Song Xu knew that the deeper a cultivator's understanding of the mental cultivation method and the more compatible their thoughts were with it, the more effective the method would be, and the faster their Dao Heart would improve.

"Hmm, this training setting is just right."

Meanwhile, Bai Zhenzhen, along with Yu Xinghan, was already Fourth Office the factory, suppressing any disobedient employees.

On the factory assembly line.

Zhang Yu was pale and weak, and was working listlessly on the assembly line.

Due to years of working on the assembly line, he not only became physically weak but also developed lung disease, experiencing excruciating pain with every breath.

With the activation of the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra, the physical pain was somewhat masked, but it was still not enough...

Why?

"Who am I...? Why do I work here?"

"I remember now, it was for wages, to earn money for medical treatment..."

Thinking of this glimmer of hope, a glimmer of light seemed to gradually appear in Zhang Yu's eyes, and the operation of the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra" became more and more intense, gradually suppressing the pain in his body.

But just then, a female voice announced, "The company is not doing well, and this is precisely the time when everyone needs to stick with the company through thick and thin. Starting this month, salaries will be reduced by 20%..."

Zhang Yu turned his head and saw that the one speaking was none other than the aloof boss Bai Zhenzhen.

With the notification of the salary reduction, Zhang Yu felt the hope that had just risen in his heart gradually fade away, and the injuries that had just been suppressed started to hurt again.

"Think... think about what other options there are?"

"At least let me rest for a few days to recover, please, take a few days off..."

Just as Zhang Yu was thinking this, an employee next to him said to Bai Zhenzhen, "Boss, it's almost Chinese New Year, and I haven't been home to see my parents for several years. Could I ask for a few days off...?"

Bai Zhenzhen's face was as cold as ice, her eyes seemingly devoid of any emotion. In her calm mind, there was only the calculation of various profits, data, and returns.

She patted the employee who had asked for leave on the shoulder and said, "Your parents want to see you during the Chinese New Year? No problem, just call them and invite them over. They can work overtime at the factory together during the holiday."

Another employee said, "Boss, a relative of mine has passed away..."

Bai Zhenzhen said calmly, "Even if someone dies in the family, let it linger for now. Get your work arranged first, then deal with your personal matters."

Zhang Yu's heart sank, and he wondered if he could get some of his salary in advance.

Another employee nearby said, "Boss, our salaries have been delayed for months. Will we be able to pay them this month?"

Bai Zhenzhen smiled, but her eyes were icy as she said, "The factory has indeed encountered some trouble lately, making it difficult to pay wages on time."

"However, as your boss, I understand that it's not easy for you to work."

"So I specifically used your ID cards to borrow some money. I'll definitely get my salary on time this month. Just remember to repay the loan on time."

Zhang Yu's heart sank again. The hope within him seemed to be constantly on the verge of extinction, causing the pain that had been suppressed by the mental technique to intensify throughout his body.

Bai Zhenzhen's mind became increasingly clear. Stripped of all emotions, she calmly calculated all the gains and losses, squeezing out every bit of benefit she could get. She felt that the Frost Soul Ice Heart Art was operating more and more smoothly.
