Repaying the debt

Name: Technique - Sixfold Force (S-Class)

Description: Layered power, Sixfold Force intense attack, redeemable by weight.

Points: 300/800/3000/10000/30000

2-level force 300, 3-level force 800, 4-level force 3000... Shen Heng's gaze lingered on the only S-Class combat skill in this combat skill for a while before finally turning his attention to another combat skill that had caught his eye.

Name: Shield Defense (A-Class)

Introduction: You bastard, when you asked me to fill out the combat skill information, you didn't clearly tell me that the name couldn't be changed! Don't look at the name! This combat skill doesn't require a shield; you can train it with your bare hands. It strengthens physical defense. You can click to see the details!

Points: 150,000

Upon seeing this introduction, Shen Heng couldn't help but smile slightly.

This combat skill seems to be the first one that was passed down. Apart from this one, all the others are clearly marked as requiring a weapon. Skill types are uniformly not required to use a weapon, while others marked as spear techniques, whip techniques, etc., are combat skills for specific weapons.

"But alas, they're all things I can't afford to replace..."

Shen Heng reluctantly shifted his gaze and searched for his target.

Name: Basic Knife Techniques

Introduction: Basic and practical knife skills instruction (six months)

Points: 30

Upon seeing the number 30, Shen Heng's lips twitched involuntarily.

65 + 30, that's 95 points. Is the team leader really that meticulous? He said it wouldn't reach 100 points, and it really won't!

"Only 30 points in half a year, and if 1 point can be exchanged for 100 yuan, that's only 3000 yuan, so cheap!"

"Hmm... Items are actually much cheaper in Martial World Easy Exchange. For example, the Lung Crystal of the Firmament Breath Beast would be worth at least several million if it were sold elsewhere, but it only costs 3,000 points in Martial World Easy Exchange, which is equivalent to 300,000 in cash."

Shen Heng pressed the redemption button on the screen, and a pop-up window appeared.

Please select the time of the week!

Shen Heng raised his finger and started clicking on the screen.

"Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday..."

Hmm? Can't I click on Sunday?... Shen Heng raised his finger again and clicked on the circle representing Sunday a few more times.

A new pop-up window appears.

"To protect the physical and mental health of our instructors, we strictly prohibit seven-day-a-week continuous study sessions. Please arrange your study time reasonably!"

Shen Heng's lips twitched slightly. After considering it, he chose Sunday to Friday.

Please select your daily teaching time. We will notify the instructor to arrive at the Linhai City Supervision Bureau at the designated time. (Teaching time: 2 hours/day)

Hmm... As I just said, we need to care about the physical and mental health of our instructors, so let's choose breakfast here... Shen Heng raised his hand and swiped on the screen.

19:30-21:30

Please select a start date (at least 3 days later)!

5.4

Please confirm...

"Confirm"

"Confirm"

"Confirm"

"Your instruction request has been submitted. We will arrange for a knife skills instructor to arrive at the Linhai City Supervision Bureau at 7:30 PM on May 4th to conduct the instruction."

Wishing you all the best in your mission!

"Goodbye!"

Having finished everything he needed to do, Shen Heng slowly put down his phone and began to think about another matter.

Huang Shaohua's debt is due in a few days, but now my own money...

Shen Heng slowly opened his phone and checked his account balance.

54,676.9 yuan!

In April, I reached First Tier, so I received a salary of 50,000 last month.

Then in March, when I had just transmigrated, I was still at Tier 0 and had only been a member for a week, so I earned 2500.

Adding the money left over from the original owner that hadn't been spent, that's what we have now.

"But Huang Shaohua wants 60,000, we're still short 6,000..."

"Six thousand..."

Shen Heng pondered where to raise the six thousand yuan.

Should I borrow from other loan sharks to pay it off? Or borrow from someone else in the Supervision Bureau? Or perhaps exchange points for money?

Hmm... I'll put points for cash out of the question first. It's not much, but who knows, maybe that'll be all I'll need in the end, and then I'll have two more left...

One is losing some money, the other is owing favors...

Why don't you ask the team leader if you can get an advance on your salary?

Although Shen Heng felt it might not work, after all, his own situation...

Just as Shen Heng was pondering, the front door of his house was opened.

Shen Heng looked towards the door with some surprise. He had assumed it was Shen Shuning returning, but unexpectedly...

"Mom, why are you back? Don't you have to go to work today?"

"Mom took the day off at noon today!" Xu Yuqin said with a smile to Shen Heng.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Shen Heng asked with concern.

"No." Xu Yuqin shook her head and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

"What's wrong?" Shen Heng looked at Xu Yuqin with some concern. Whether based on the original owner's memories or his own, Xu Yuqin today was quite abnormal.

Xu Yuqin didn't reply, but instead looked down and fiddled with her phone.

"Mom transferred 20,000 yuan to you, please check your phone!"

"Huh?" Shen Heng was slightly taken aback. "Why are you suddenly transferring money to me? And where did you get so much money?"

Xu Yuqin said, "Isn't that loan shark loan you borrowed due in the next few days? So I asked the breakfast shop owner for an advance on six months' salary!"

"Did Shen Shuning say that?" Shen Heng pondered.

The family had no idea about Shen Heng's high-interest loan; it seemed that only Shen Shuning knew about it because Huang Yong had come to their door earlier.

"And then there's the part I'm missing. I figured you'd be home today since it's your day off, so I took a break at noon. I was thinking of asking you to teach me how to borrow money online so I could use that to make up for the shortfall!"

Xu Yuqin looked at Shen Heng tenderly.

"If we borrow this time, let's see if we can borrow an extra 5,000 yuan, otherwise Mom might not have enough money to earn by working as a waitress at a hotel."

Shen Heng opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

His gaze unconsciously drifted to Xu Yuqin's face, where he saw a weariness that was hard to conceal on her weathered face, yet she was still smiling at him.

Seeing that Shen Heng didn't reply, Xu Yuqin looked a little nervous and said cautiously, "Is it not possible? If you can't borrow that much, just tell me, and Mom will think of another way!"

Shen Heng slowly shook his head and said, "You don't need to worry about this. I'll handle it myself. Keep your money for Shen Shuning's tuition!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuqin's eyes widened slightly, and she said anxiously:

"Shuning told me that she's currently tutoring and will save up her tuition fees herself. But this loan sharking is different from the money you borrowed online before. If you don't pay it back, they might try to drive you to your death!"

"I know, I mean I'll pay it back myself!" Shen Heng nodded.

"You'll pay it back yourself? How are you going to pay it back? You can't borrow money online anymore!"

"I get paid!" Shen Heng said.

"How much do you earn? It's less than the interest on those loan sharks!"

Shen Heng opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then handed over the phone after opening the balance page.

"Take a look."

Xu Yuqin took the phone and looked at the five-digit number on the screen. Unlike Shen Heng, Shen Heng had expected her to be happy or shocked, she looked at him with concern.

"Xiao Heng, your job isn't involved in anything illegal, is it?"

"..." Shen Heng replied, "No, I have a regular job!"

"Who can earn this much in a regular job?" Xu Yuqin stared intently at Shen Heng, her eyes full of suspicion.

It wasn't that she didn't want to believe it, but rather that she couldn't find a reason to believe it. What kind of kid could earn tens of thousands of yuan in their first month after dropping out of high school?

"Yeah, you know what live-streaming e-commerce is?" Shen Heng brought up a reason he had come up with earlier.

Given his current status as someone who hasn't even graduated high school yet, coupled with the fact that he works night shifts, this is the only job he can think of.

"Live-streaming e-commerce?" Xu Yuqin frowned slightly. "Like the old-fashioned TV shopping?"

"Yes, that's it!" Shen Heng nodded.

"Is TV shopping really that profitable?" Xu Yuqin asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Just think of it as a shop. If a shop always has dozens of customers, wouldn't that shop be very profitable?" Shen Heng said.

Xu Yuqin hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"But there are actually a few dozen people who aren't doing very well in the live streams. My company's live streams have a much larger audience, consistently in the thousands, which is why we can earn so much money each month!"

"This..."

Xu Yuqin opened her mouth, and seeing how confidently Shen Heng spoke, she felt a little relieved, but...

"Is what you did really not illegal?"

"It's really not illegal." Shen Heng nodded. "It just depends on the situation. If things aren't going well, I might only be able to do it for a few months. If things are going well, I could do it for several years!"

"As long as it's not illegal!"

Xu Yuqin breathed a sigh of relief and glanced down at her phone, which was still on.

"You don't have enough money right now, so how about Mom transfers you another 10,000?"

Shen Heng thought for a moment. He'd already seen how much money he had, and if he didn't ask for it back, Xu Yuqin would probably think he was going to borrow money from somewhere... He could pay it back when he got his salary later...

"I don't need that much, six thousand will do. I'll keep a few hundred on me!"

"8000, please. You're working outside now, you need to learn how to handle interpersonal relationships. You can't do without money!" Xu Yuqin raised the price.

"Okay!" Shen Heng nodded.

He took his phone back, then returned the 20,000 yuan, and Xu Yuqin transferred another 8,000 yuan to him.

With everything over, Xu Yuqin leaned back on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief.

We've finally solved Xiao Heng's high-interest loan problem, but...

The thought that Shen Heng earned over 50,000 yuan in a month still felt unreal to her...

"Oh, right, Mom!"

"What's wrong?" Xu Yuqin turned her head to look at her, somewhat puzzled.

"I will never borrow money again!" Shen Heng said earnestly.

Xu Yuqin smiled gently.

"Yes, I already know that!"

Night, underground casino.

Yellow Hair stood behind a gambler, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the other gamblers one by one. Some were rubbing their hands excitedly, while others had their brows furrowed tightly.

Yellow Hair pondered the cards in the other people's hands, then his gaze fell on the cards in the hand of the person in front of him.

"Hey, this dealer has a pretty strong hand. I wonder how the others are doing," the Yellow Hair guy muttered to himself.

Round after round went by, the chips on the poker table swirled around, and the gamblers cheered or sighed.

As time went on, Yellow Hair gradually lost interest. He rubbed his eyes, turned his head casually, and glanced to the side.

In the dim light of the smoke, Huang Shaohua sat on a sofa in the distance, staring at his phone with a gloomy expression.
