It turned out that every member of the Advent Sect was a traitor to humanity.

They Believed humanity was unworthy of ruling this planet and planned to welcome the "great Alien Race" to descend upon it completely.

You were puzzled. Once those Alien Races descended, wouldn't all humans die? Including the Advent Sect.

But your status was too low, and you simply could not enter the Advent Sect's inner circle.

You infiltrated the Advent Sect for a month and gradually came to understand that if you wanted to raise your standing within the sect, you had to display the corresponding strength and complete the tasks assigned by the organization.

So you accepted your first task: investigating a Silver Rank Dungeon.

You completed it brilliantly and received 5 Cult Contribution Points.

You learned that Contribution Points could be exchanged for many precious items. That Half Evergreen Cultivation Technique from before had been exchanged by Wang Qingxuan for 5,000 Cult Contribution Points.

So you tried taking on more tasks, hoping to earn more Contribution Points.

You worked hard for a month and gained 100 Contribution Points, but you found this efficiency unsatisfactory.

You understood that your strength was too low, preventing you from taking higher-level tasks and making it difficult to earn Contribution Points.

You learned of another way to obtain Contribution Points: contributing precious items to the sect's Elders could earn you a large number of Contribution Points.

You gritted your teeth and contributed 100 jin of Spirit Rice to an Elder.

The Elder handed over the Spirit Rice. He thought highly of you and gave you 1,000 Contribution Points.

A few days later, The Other One Elder in the sect came looking for you and demanded to know where the Spirit Rice had come from.

You said you had merely obtained it by chance and that there was no more.

That Elder did not believe you. He tied you up, locked you in a basement, and brutally tortured you for a confession!

Your flesh was torn open by the beatings as you endured countless punishments...

Finally Still, you were tortured to death at the age of 29!

Your Die With Grievance Talent activated...

You saw an old man enter the basement. That Elder appeared extremely respectful toward him.

They seemed to exchange a few words, but you could not hear them at all. You Made Up His Mind to learn Lip Reading.

A day later, the Die With Grievance Talent expired...

Ding, this simulation has ended!

You may choose one of the following rewards: Mr. Great Strength (Talent), Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection (Cultivation), Bone Forging Great Perfection (Cultivation), five Second Generation Spirit Chickens (Pets), 3,000 jin of Spirit Rice (Item) Mr. Great Strength: Green Talent, priced at 10,000 Energy Points. Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection: Cultivation, priced at 1,000 Energy Points. Bone Forging Realm Great Completion: Cultivation, priced at 10,000 Energy Points. Five Second Generation Spirit Chickens: Pets, priced at 10,000 Energy Points. 3,000 jin of Spirit Rice: Item, priced at 3 million Energy Points.

Su Xing stared greedily at the simulation rewards. Whether it was the Green Talent Mr. Great Strength or the Bone Forging Realm Great Completion cultivation, he wanted them both!

"Unfortunately, I can only bring back one reward..."

Finally Still, Su Xing decided to choose the Talent Mr. Great Strength.

After all, drawing Talents depended on luck. As long as he had this Talent, he would definitely be able to cultivate to the Bone Forging Realm Great Completion in the next simulation as well.

The only thing that surprised Su Xing was that he could actually bring Spirit Chickens back from the Simulator!

These Spirit Chickens seemed to have been classified as pets by the Simulator. Moreover, each Second Generation Spirit Chicken was worth 2,000 Energy Points, Even More Than a jin of Spirit Rice by quite a bit.

At the very least, this showed that Second Generation Spirit Chickens were more valuable than Spirit Rice.

"Too bad... I have fewer than 2,000 Energy Points left, so I can't exchange for a Talent at all..."

Su Xing planned to hurry and go Dungeon Crawling for equipment, so that he could save up enough Energy Points before entering a Dungeon for the second time.

Knock, knock, knock!

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Su Xing's heart stirred, and he knew that Jin Congxue had probably arrived. He opened the door.

Jin Congxue held several Buddhist Sutras in her hands and said with a smile:

"Ah Xing, I just acquired several rare copies of Buddhist Sutras. How about we study them together?"

Su Xing nodded, and he began discussing them with Jin Congxue.

However, Su Xing seemed distracted throughout the entire process. Jin Congxue was somewhat helpless and asked:

"Ah Xing, is something on your mind?"

Su Xing gave a bitter smile and nodded.

"I'm planning to return to the Capital. I've been a little short on cash lately, so I'm going back to make more money..."

A flash of surprise crossed Jin Congxue's face.

"You're short of money? You should have said so sooner! How much do you need? I can lend it to you!"

Su Xing was stunned by Jin Congxue's forthright manner. They had only known each other for seven or eight days, yet Jin Congxue was willing to lend him money?

So Su Xing asked curiously:

"Are you very rich?"

Jin Congxue looked somewhat surprised.

"You don't know the Jin Clan Merchant Group? My grandfather owns it..."

Su Xing was stunned. The Jin Clan Merchant Group?

This was one of the top merchant groups in all of Great Xia. It had been established for several centuries, and its assets were impossible to count.

Su Xing had also been a rather famous wealthy merchant in the Simulator before, with a net worth of several tens of billions.

But compared with the Jin Clan Merchant Group, it was simply far too little.

The Jin Clan Merchant Group's scale could no longer be measured in hundreds of millions, because the vast majority of its clients were Professionals, even high-level Professionals.

Clients at the Grandmaster Level and Heavenly King Level were merely regular customers.

Meanwhile, most of the Professionals Su Xing had sold equipment to in the Simulator were low-level Professionals such as Silver Rank and Gold Rank. They were not even in the same league.

Su Xing suddenly remembered that in one of his simulations, Jin Congxue had seemingly recommended clients to him. After that, his net worth had reached several tens of billions in only a few short years.

If it was the Jin Clan Merchant Group's resources, then it made perfect sense.

Jin Congxue's voice sounded beside Su Xing's ear:

"So, how much do you want to borrow?"

Su Xing clenched his teeth.

"One hundred million. Can you lend it to me? I might not be able to repay it in the short term... It may take a year or half a year..."

Jin Congxue was also stunned upon hearing that figure. One hundred million was no small amount.

So Jin Congxue said half-jokingly:

"You brat, you're not trying to pull some honey-trap scam on me, are you? What could you possibly need one hundred million for?"

With that, Jin Congxue chuckled, took out a bank card, and handed it to Su Xing.

"There's one hundred million in this card. The password is six eights."

Su Xing did not immediately take the bank card. Instead, he took Fifty Jin of Spirit Rice from his Storage Ring and gave it to Jin Congxue.

"Consider this Spirit Rice the interest for you. That way, you won't be lending it to me for nothing!"

Jin Congxue was stunned for a moment, blinking as she said:

"Are you sure you want to give me this Spirit Rice? Do you know how much it's worth?"

"These Fifty Jin of Spirit Rice are worth at least fifty million Great Xia Coin!"
