Eight Hundred Hunyuan to Buy Immortality? Dream On!

In the Solar System, on the high platform of the Platinum Temple, stands a golden dragon throne.

Tang Ping leaned back in his chair, pinching a glistening pink grape between his fingertips, and slowly put it into his mouth.

After a while, he casually raised his eyes and glanced at the kneeling figures in the hall.

This world is truly insane. Countless people are willing to so easily abandon their dignity in order to climb the ladder. But the galaxy is vast, and the ladder of power is endless. How high must one climb to be considered high?

Silence spread through the hall, with only the lingering sounds of string and wind instruments.

Sun Ruowei remained kneeling without moving.

After a long silence, Tang Ping finally spoke lazily, his tone as casual as if he were chatting. "Manager Sun, you're from the Virtual Universe Company. With the backing of one of the six major Human Race powers, who in the entire galaxy would dare to touch you?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Ruowei slowly raised her head, her eyes reddening, her voice trembling with suppressed sobs. "Outsiders naturally wouldn't dare, but those who know best how to hurt others are always our own people."

"Oh?" Tang Ping raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise. "Then you're really in a bad situation, even your colleagues are plotting against you. Look at me, everyone around me is so friendly and kind."

Sun Ruowei:----

Fang Shu, who was standing to the side:----

The atmosphere instantly became awkward. Tang Ping glanced at Fang Shu, who remained expressionless, and raised an eyebrow, asking, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Fang Shu reacted swiftly, immediately bowing and echoing, "Your Majesty is absolutely right! Your countenance is as bright as the sun and the moon, upright and incorruptible, unparalleled in the world. You are truly a model of Immortal God for our Human Race. As juniors, we naturally hold you in the highest esteem, vying to bask in your glory, hoping to receive your guidance, and daring not to show the slightest disrespect."

Tang Ping nodded in satisfaction.

Look, this is my true loyal subject!

"A reward!" He waved his hand generously. "The resources I promised you over two thousand years ago to help you break through to the Domain Lord level. Just contact Little Love to register and claim them."

Fang Shu was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to express his gratitude. "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

Sun Ruowei, completely stunned by what she saw.

A mere flattery can buy the resources to break through to the Domain Lord level? What was the point of her millions of years of diligent work, exhausting herself for the Virtual Universe Company, scheming and plotting, never daring to slack off for a single day, finally gathering enough resources to cultivate to the Domain Lord level?

She raised her head, looking at Tang Ping, who was indulging in pleasure on the dragon throne, with a complicated expression, and said in a deep voice, "King Anle, you are a born genius, able to cultivate to the King Rank with ease. Naturally, you do not understand the struggles of us ordinary people."

"I have known since I was a child that people are divided into different classes. Some people can easily advance to the Domain Lord without putting in any effort from birth, just by eating and drinking."

But what about me? After countless hardships and sweat, I finally managed to squeeze into the Virtual Universe Company, only to find that this is just someone else's Qidian.

"Every investment evaluation, every financing negotiation, I have to rack my brains and go to great lengths to please others, just to win their approval. But those with connections can accomplish in a single word, and their families can achieve what I would have taken hundreds or thousands of years to do."

"King Anle, you stand on the clouds, and you will never know how high or how long the steps beneath our feet are."

Where exactly am I inferior to those people? My performance even surpasses that of many Immortal God! Everyone yearns to join the Virtual Universe Company, but what good does it do? I'm still lingering at the bottom, never even stepping through the gates of the Gods Hall!

Her voice suddenly rose, filled with resentment and indignation. "Is this fair? No! This is so unfair!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Ping nodded noncommittally. "You're right, the world is inherently unfair. But what does that have to do with me helping you?"

He paused, his tone indifferent. "The universe is vast, and there are billions upon billions of living beings, with countless suffering and sorrow. If everyone came to me for help, even if I had Myriad Clones, I wouldn't be able to handle it all."

Sun Ruowei's grievances welled up instantly, and her eyes reddened even more. "King Anle! If it weren't for you, I would never have offended the Boswa Family, let alone been transferred to the Outer Battlefield! You must take responsibility for me!"

Tang Ping paused, thought carefully for a moment, and then slowly said, "It seems... there is such a thing. Okay, when you go to the Outer Battlefield, I'll talk to the guys there and ask them to keep a close eye on you and try their best to keep you alive."

Sun Ruowei shook her head, hesitated for a moment, as if she had made a huge decision, and gritted her teeth and said, "Senior King Anle, I would like to borrow some money from you."

I want to cultivate in the Initial Universe! I can sign a blood pact with you: if I can break through to the Immortal God, I will repay the debt with interest over countless years to come; if I cannot break through, I will resign from my position at the Virtual Universe Company and serve you like a slave for the rest of my life, at your beck and call!

By the end, her face was full of frustration, but her eyes burned with fierce anger.

She will climb step by step to the very top of power, so that all those who once looked down on her will take a good look and regret it!

"Oh?" Tang Ping became interested, sat up straighter, and carefully examined Sun Ruowei. He had to admit that this woman was excellent in both appearance and figure.

However, beautiful appearances are all the same. What truly interested him was her identity: a high-ranking executive at the World Lord Rank of the Virtual Universe Company, a typical high-level white-collar worker in the interstellar world.

He'd never actually played this type of game before.

Men are always curious about things they haven't tried before.

"How much do you need to borrow?" Tang Ping asked casually, tapping the armrest with his fingertip.

"Eight hundred!" A hint of anticipation flashed in Sun Ruowei's eyes.

"Eight million Universe Coin?" Tang Ping stroked his chin, lost in thought. This amount wasn't outrageous.

"It's eight hundred Hunyuan!" Sun Ruowei added.

"Pfft~" Tang Ping almost spat out the grape he had just put in his mouth. He looked at Sun Ruowei as if she were an idiot, his tone laced with undisguised sarcasm. "You think I'm a sucker?"

"Do you know how many Realm Lords can be cultivated with eight hundred Hunyuan? In several departments under my command, many hardworking young women are willing to accompany me in order to gather enough resources for advancement."

Besides, if you can't even accumulate eight hundred Hunyuan in a million years, why should I believe you can break through to Immortality instead of running away with the money?

Sun Ruowei didn't offer any explanation. Instead, she pulled up a statement of her wealth and assets and projected it in front of Tang Ping. It clearly showed that she had leveraged her investments in Luo Concept Stocks, and at her peak, her wealth was close to one thousand Hunyuan.

Tang Ping glanced at him, and his lips immediately curled into a sneer, "So you're a gambling addict! I'm mortal with gambling! You can get lost now."

Sun Ruowei remained kneeling, looking directly at Tang Ping, her tone firm. "King Anle, I'm worth this price! My network, experience, and financial management skills accumulated over millions of years are intangible assets. Moreover, I have absolute confidence in breaking through to immortality, making this an absolutely profitable investment for you! As for the interest rate, I can offer the greatest concessions!"

Tang Ping scoffed, his sarcasm running high. "You think you're worth it? Do you even understand what 800 Hunyuan means? One Hunyuan is equal to one trillion Universe Coin. 800 Hunyuan —the zeros after that are more than the hairs on your body!"

Without a Sun Ruowei immediately retorted, "I don't have any hair!"

"Huh?" Tang Ping paused for a moment, then stroked his chin with interest. "Interesting. Since you're so confident, how about we play a game?"

A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. "I'll register a brand new blank Virtual Universe account, post a status update with a poll, and then buy 100 million views to promote it. The status update will say: 'A female stranger asked me for 800 trillion Universe Coin, and if she can't pay me back, she'll give herself to me,' along with your best photo."

If most netizens agree, I'll lend it to you; if not, you can go back to where you came from.

Sun Ruowei's face turned deathly pale instantly.

If her colleagues and friends saw that photo, her reputation at Virtual Universe Company would be completely ruined. It would be no different from defecating in public in the company lobby!

But she has no way out now.

A few seconds later, she bit her lower lip hard and squeezed out a single word through gritted teeth. "Okay!"
