" Renyu has been working incredibly hard these past few days, studying until one or two in the morning every night!"
"If you had studied harder, you wouldn't have gotten a lower score on the college entrance exam than me, and your blood pressure wouldn't be as high!"
Seeing that Ning Chuan's attitude was still the same as before, without any airs of a great person, Father Guo and Mother Guo felt much less reserved and smiled as they spoke.
Guo Renyu blushed and said, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Ning Chuan is still here!"
Wearing an apron, Mother Guo glared at her and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? You've been working very hard these past few days!"
Why are you suddenly working so hard?
Ning Chuan asked seriously, his face no longer showing any teasing.
Guo Renyu pursed his lips, and after a long while, he spoke, saying, "You should know that Master Lou is no ordinary person, right?"
"Um."
" Master Lou taking me as his apprentice is my only chance to escape mediocrity!"
Guo Renyu said in a low voice, "My academic performance is poor, and my martial arts skills are even worse."
"To outsiders, I might just be a carefree young man who'll be idling around for the next few years, doing nothing but eating, drinking, and having fun in this not-so-big city."
"Fortunately, we have a small business at home, so we won't starve!"
"When I turned twenty, my parents urged me to go on blind dates with girls my own age."
"There's a high chance you won't meet a girl you fall in love with at first sight, and there won't be any dramatic love stories. Under pressure from your respective families, as long as you don't dislike each other and feel you can live together, you might end up together."
"After that, I had to rein in my playful nature, turn over a new leaf from my carefree youth, learn to help with the family business, and gradually take over my father's position..."
"I know this is an ordinary yet happy life, the kind of life that many ordinary people in the Federation yearn for and pursue."
My parents feel the same way; they hope I live a peaceful and healthy life, free from illness and disaster, without any troubles!
Guo Renyu clenched his fists and emphasized, "But! I really don't want to live like this! Not at all! I still don't know what kind of person I want to become in the future, but I know one thing for sure: I want to do something big that will shake the Federation!"
"I have been to this world, and left an indelible mark!"
" Master Lou is my only chance to realize my dream. Even if I die suddenly, I will study the Federation Criminal Law and become his disciple!"
Guo Renyu spoke with conviction, but after he finished, he seemed a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he turned his face away from Ning Chuan.
"Come on!"
Ning Chuan smiled slightly, raised his hand, and patted Guo Renyu's shoulder forcefully.
The words I originally wanted to say were left unsaid.
His purpose in coming here was actually to arrange for Guo Renyu to take up a lucrative but vacant position in a company under the Lu Family.
But now it seems unnecessary.
The path the other person wants to take, the things they want to do, and the power of their dreams are all worthy of their attention.
Guo Renyu's eyes widened in surprise. He looked up at Ning Chuan and said with some surprise, "Don't you think I'm a little ridiculous?"
He was also well aware of how far he was from his dream; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it an unrealistic fantasy.
Ning Chuan shook his head and said seriously, "No matter how grand or unattainable a dream is, as long as you dare to fight for it, regardless of whether you can achieve it, you'll at least look cool!"
Guo Renyu instinctively replied, "I know, the process is more important than the result..."
No! That's just chicken soup!
Ning Chuan interrupted Guo Renyu, saying in a deep voice, "Reality is harsh, and the world is cruel! No matter how eloquent the words, the result is always more important than the process!"
The view from the mountaintop is always better than the rugged mountain path!
Ning Chuan looked directly into Guo Renyu's eyes and said, "But at least you tried. No matter the outcome, you won't regret not trying to climb to the top!"
"Good!"
Guo Renyu straightened his chest and declared loudly, "From now on, I'll sleep an hour less every night, and I'll work my ass off so I won't have any regrets!"
Ning Chuan smiled silently.
It's unlikely that he can ever be as youthful and passionate as Guo Renyu again.
The martial arts he practiced automatically improved his strength.
This also accelerated his growth.
In just a few months, he witnessed far too much of the wickedness of human nature.
The Wei Family father and son framed him.
The jealousy of Xia Xi and Jiang Moyu in the training camp.
Those deliberate targetings by high-ranking military officials who wanted to curry favor with the Wang Family...
Ning Chuan can only, and must, mature.
" Renyu, it's good that you're working hard, and I don't object to you becoming Boss Lou's apprentice." Father Guo sighed, his brows furrowing slightly, and said, "However, I spoke with Boss Lou once, and if you become his disciple, he will take you to the Capital Administrative Region."
"Dad, don't worry unnecessarily!"
Guo Renyu waved his hand dismissively, saying, "The capital is so big, how could they possibly run into me? Even if they did, they wouldn't recognize me!"
Ning Chuan didn't understand and asked curiously, "Who are you referring to as 'they'?"
"Another branch of the Guo Dynasty."
Guo Renyu casually remarked, "Those people are better off than my family. They're doing quite well in the capital. My dad's worried they're still searching for the whereabouts of the Ancient Dragon Elephant Scripture."
"It's been over a thousand years, those people aren't crazy, they must have given up long ago!"
Guo Renyu pursed his lips.
Father Guo looked worried, concerned for his son's safety, and said, "I'm afraid something might happen."
"Fine."
Ning Chuan glanced at Father Guo and said with a faint smile, " Galaxy University is in the Northern Territory Region, not far from the capital. If Renyu encounters difficulties, I can get there quickly."
His mindset is mature beyond his peers, but he is not shrewd or cunning; he still retains the pure side of a young man.
Be clear about your gratitude and grievances.
The Guo Family gifted him the Ancient Dragon Elephant Scripture, which was of great help to him.
The Ancient Dragon Elephant Scripture played a crucial role in his achievements today; the Eternal Night King Physique and the Mecha Talent both stemmed from it.
When I left the Guo Family, the city lights were already on.
On a hot summer night, the streets were bustling with activity. Open-air food stalls lined both sides, and the clinking of ingredients against scorching hot woks created a vibrant atmosphere of urban life.
The streets were bustling with pedestrians.
The children ran and played.
The couple cuddled and laughed intimately...
The noise surged in like waves, as if he were in a heatwave. Ning Chuan looked at the scene on the street, and a feeling that was both familiar and strange welled up in his heart.
He hadn't experienced this peaceful life in a long time.
It's unlikely to be that easy in the future.
Galaxy University is a gathering place for geniuses and prodigies, making the competition incredibly fierce.
Of course, Ning Chuan knew in his heart that he could live such a life immediately if he wanted to.
But he didn't want to!
Since we have chosen the path to the summit, no matter how much wind and snow or how little sunshine we receive, we must forge ahead!
Ning Chuan took out a mask, put it on, and after confirming that it covered him properly, stepped into the crowd.
When he went to the Guo Family, he already realized just how famous his face was in Qingshan City.
From kindergarten children to elderly people in nursing homes.
Everyone knows him.
"Um?"
Ning Chuan raised an eyebrow and noticed that he had subconsciously walked to the old neighborhood where he used to rent a place.
However, it is not old now.
The roads are brand new and clean, and the walls have been freshly painted.
At the main gate of the residential area stands a huge plaque with the four large characters " Ning Chuan's Former Residence " printed on it. The calligraphy is strong and elegant, and it is clear that it was written by a master calligrapher.
Several heavily armed police officers stood guard outside the door.
"Is this the residence of God Ning, the Federation's number one genius? It's so simple!"
"What do you know? The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold; it is precisely these hardships that forge their God Ning greatness!"
"Son, I've made up my mind. When we get back, I'll sell our family's estate and rent you a studio apartment here!"
Even though it was past 10 p. m., tourists were still flocking to the site.
A long queue formed at the main entrance.
"This..."
Ning Chuan gave a wry smile.
When he returned to Qingshan City last time, the municipal government did discuss this matter with him.
I didn't expect them to act so quickly.
"I remember the city government promised me 70% of the ticket revenue."
Ning Chuan flipped his hand over and took out his phone to check.
The municipal government sent a message.
The " Ning Chuan's Former Residence " officially opened on August 1st, with revenue sharing settled monthly. However, since it hasn't been a full month yet, the transfers haven't been completed.
However, the income statements have all been sent over.
Ning Chuan glanced at it briefly, his eyes gleaming slightly.
He can get ten to twenty million every day.
A month's income is enough for Thunder Sovereign to fully recharge.
Moreover, this is a continuous, long-term source of income.
As his fame grows, his income will certainly increase accordingly.
boom!
In an instant, a thunderous roar swept across the night sky.
A radial sonic boom cloud appeared in an instant!
Breaking the sound barrier was a dark green streak of Force, over ten feet long, which shot towards Ning Chuan below!
Like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, it is swift and powerful, sweeping across with an awe-inspiring force!
