A Leisurely Life After Striking It Rich
The Wind-Thunder Secret Realm.
A fierce wind howled, and purple lightning flashed like dragons, yet the Cultivation Palace remained utterly silent.
Tang Ping flicked his finger, and Hong's mocking messages were still flashing in the virtual chat box. He snorted coldly and began to reply, each word resounding and forceful. "Hong! I hope this is the last time you say such a thing! As young Human Race of the new era, even if we are of humble status, we should take the prosperity of Human Race as our responsibility!"
Now, surrounded by Alien Race, they lurk with predatory intent, seeking to devour our Human Race territory. We, the youth, are facing an unprecedented life-or-death challenge! At this critical moment, instead of thinking of serving our country, you indulge in heretical practices, attempting to erode the steely will of our Human Race. How are you any different from beasts? I urge you to wake up and act accordingly!
Flood:???
Tang Ping typed out the message with righteous indignation and sent it, then closed the chat window without hesitation.
His cultivation level skyrocketed, his wealth became immeasurable—all that effort over eight hundred years was for this moment of complete freedom.
"Reward time is over!"
Tang Ping rubbed his hands together and opened the Universe Mall. A dazzling array of goods instantly filled the virtual panel.

Huh? A Supreme Treasure is prominently displayed in the mall's recommended section: the He Shi Bi from the Qin Dynasty of Huaxia! The seal script characters on the jade disc, "By the mandate of Heaven, may your life be long and prosperous," are clearly visible, exuding the noble spirit of the ancient people.
Tang Ping's eyes lit up. This was a treasure of civilization; he wouldn't want to miss it! Buy, buy, buy!
GG's gaze swept over a starship, "Pinghai Technology's latest D3-Class Tourist Starship."
The interior space is enormous, with a classic Chinese garden layout that can accommodate tens of thousands of people for banquets and entertainment; it features top-of-the-line Cultivation Chamber, an entertainment venue, and a holographic cinema; and the details are meticulously crafted to the extreme.
The washbasin is precisely ergonomically designed, the bathroom is a luxurious size for multiple people to bathe together, the balcony has a huge floor-to-ceiling window with a vast starry sky above; the ceiling is inlaid with a high-definition mirror, the kitchen is covered with a non-slip Spirit Pattern Mat, and the bathroom is equipped with handrails. It can be said to be a full-map battlefield mode, ready to start a battle at any time!
"Year-end mega sale! Guaranteed by the Luo Family's reputation, members get an 88% discount, only 38.8 billion Black Dragon Coin!"
Tang Ping didn't even blink, and lightly tapped his finger. "Buy!"
A thousand pieces of gold can't buy my happiness!
In just half a day, Tang Ping's spending bills rolled around like crazy, totaling hundreds of millions of Ganwu Coin. The mall's customer service was terrified, thinking that a spendthrift immortal tycoon had arrived.
After squandering his money, Tang Ping leaned back in his Grandmaster Chair, suddenly feeling a little lost.
So boring! Having money but nowhere to spend it feels so empty!
He casually opened a cosmic online group he'd joined out of boredom, changed his username to "My Little Carp," and posted a rant. "Sigh, on a whim, I spent hundreds of billions of Black Dragon Coin on a D3 starship. I was going to write something about it, but after typing a few hundred words, I deleted it. All I can say is that money can't buy what I like. Please be gentle, everyone."
The moment the message was sent, the group chat exploded.
Yongheng: "??? Brother, you spent hundreds of billions of Black Dragon Coin in a moment of impulsiveness, while I could only afford cold medicine in the same moment!"
Waaaaah, this darn wealth gap! Why are all the people in this group so rich?!
Zhu Yan: "Tears soaked my braised pork trotter rice! I swear I'll earn a million!"
Tang Ping raised an eyebrow, flicked his finger, and sent out a huge red envelope containing 10,000 Ganwu Coin.
Yongheng's hand speed is ridiculously fast; he snatched it up in a second.
The next second, his frantic shout popped up in the group chat, "Holy crap! A thousand Ganwu Coin! Carp Boss! No wonder you're rich! Long live the king!"
Zhu Yan followed closely behind, instantly transforming into a sycophant. "Daddy! Papa Daddy! Please send me another one, sir!"
Tang Ping looked completely bewildered. "???"
Good heavens! Poverty really does limit the imagination of these people! They get taken advantage of just for sending a red envelope, and to make matters worse, they're cursed to only live to be ten thousand? Isn't that a veiled curse?
I'm shivering and freezing!
Tang Ping snorted coldly and decisively closed the group chat, preferring to ignore it rather than bother him.
Bored? Then go hang out with your good buddy Liu Hui!
Liu Hui has long since advanced to Universe Level powerhouse and holds a prominent position in the Luo Family. Apart from those immortal guest elders, he is one of the few with real power, wielding the authority of governor over more than two hundred star systems. He is a diligent and hardworking man who is often extremely busy.
In the Virtual Universe, Tang Ping, carrying two jars of ancient, aged Starry Sky Fine Wine, teleported to Liu Hui's Governor's Mansion.
The two had barely sat down at the open-air barbecue stall, the Starry Sky Beast meat sizzling on the grill, when Liu Hui's Communicator started ringing incessantly. Video calls, encrypted messages, urgent emails—various meeting notifications, investment reports, and news of interstellar conflicts poured in.
During the barbecue, Liu Hui received hundreds of messages, so busy that he didn't even have time to clink glasses. The resentment in his eyes when he looked at Tang Ping was almost tangible.
That despicable, hands-off boss!
Tang Ping guiltily touched his nose, and while Liu Hui was on the phone, he secretly sent his niece a huge red envelope containing 1 million Ganwu Coin. Then he slipped away and made a quick getaway!
After sneaking back to the Wind-Thunder Secret Realm, Tang Ping couldn't stay still, so he wandered over to Luo Xiaoyu's Cultivation Room.
The two sat down for a long talk, discussing everything from the Water Law to the origin of life. Though they were not old friends, they had a deep conversation and found themselves quite compatible. As they talked, they began to exchange ideas, and Tang Ping personally experienced the gentle warmth and vastness of the Water Origin Laws, as well as the bone-chilling cold that penetrated to his very bones.
Half a month later, he moved to Huo Wu's Cultivation Room, where he experienced the heat, violence, and domineering power of the Fire Origin Laws in the raging flames.
A month later, Tang Ping emerged from the Cultivation Room of the two goddesses, his previously restless heart finally at peace.
He suddenly realized, "Perhaps this is the meaning of marriage."
Relatives have their own families to manage, friends have their own careers to pursue, and online friends are scattered all over the world. As time goes by, everyone has their own life trajectory, meeting less and less, and the distance between them grows ever wider.
Only a loved one, or a teacher or student who imparts knowledge and skills, can accompany you day and night for a long time.
But then I thought, even a realm lord's lifespan is only ten million years!
Tang Ping was a man who wanted to be with these two girls forever, until the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled! How could he let his lifespan become an obstacle?
Tang Ping's eyes narrowed, and without saying a word, he placed an order on the Universe Mall for two sets of top-tier cultivation materials that could allow cultivators to quickly break through to the Peak Realm Lord Level. From the Origin Force Liquid to the Law Comprehension Fruit, they were all priceless Supreme Treasure.
The two sets together only amount to 50 Hunyuan Unit, which is nothing to Tang Ping, who possesses over two million Hunyuan assets!
In this way, Luo Xiaoyu and Huo Wu won't have to waste time painstakingly accumulating Origin Force. They can just focus on comprehending the laws, and their lifespan will naturally increase accordingly!
Less than ten minutes after placing the order, the two girls received a transfer notification from Interstellar Express on their Communicator, with delivery expected in six months.
Immediately afterwards, a barrage of message pop-ups appeared on the screen.
Luo Xiaoyu: "Ping, I've recently made a new breakthrough in the Ice Law, let's fight!"
Tang Ping shuddered and felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the words "Frozen Breakthrough".
"I'll definitely do it next time!" He replied almost instantly, then retracted the message three times at lightning speed before feeling safe.
Huo Wu's message followed closely behind, laced with a sweet and coquettish tone. "Mwah mwah mwah mwah~ Honey! Come and try the new dish I prepared for you: Secret Mouth-Watering Chicken ~"
Huo Wu's charming and beautiful face, and the terrifying power of her "secret" dishes, Tang Ping felt a deep sense of respect.
However, having just left two goddesses, going back to them would be a bit unfair to his brother (and his own stomach), so he decisively refused.
After rejecting the two beauties, Tang Ping stroked his chin and gazed toward the Heavenly Sound Pavilion deep within the secret realm.
In the last century, a group of Elf Race employees from the Heavenly Sound Pavilion were specially recruited by the Cosmic Galaxy Milky Way Group. Now, a new batch of Elf girls has taken their place, each one as beautiful as a flower and with an ethereal voice.
"Foreign languages are always a good thing; mastering more is helpful for survival in space!"
Tang Ping muttered to himself in a serious tone, but his steps were already moving very quickly.
Go to the Heavenly Sound Pavilion, meet some new Elf friends, learn some elegant Elvish Language, and incidentally—experience the charm of Alien Race culture.
Sigh, it's really tough on him! But there's nothing we can do, he loves studying so much.
