"Please begin your performance."
The Star God stretched out his right hand, and the little purple clock spun into the air once more.
Su Wen wasted no words. After steadying his breathing, he began demonstrating the Basic Body Tempering Method 2.0.
Su Wen demonstrated the Basic Body Tempering Method at a realm of consummate mastery, every movement brimming with power. It was a visual feast, a delight to watch and hear.
Never mind the 2.0 version of the Basic Body Tempering Method-even a radio calisthenics routine could bring unexpected surprises if performed at a realm of consummate mastery.
"The changes this time are quite extensive."
After Su Wen finished the demonstration, the Star God remarked, "So... is there more?"
With his breadth of experience, he could naturally see what set version 2.0 apart.
It could be said that version 2.0 had brought the tempering of every aspect of the human body to a limit.
He could even discern a hint of the transcendent in the latest version of the Basic Body Tempering Method.
In other words, even those who were not Heavenly Mandate Bearers could gain transcendent power by persisting in these strengthening exercises.
He had only vaguely sensed this possibility in version 1.0 of the Basic Body Tempering Method, but he had not dared to be certain.
With version 2.0 of the Basic Body Tempering Method, however, that feeling was already very strong.
For that very reason, he could not help holding even higher expectations of Su Wen.
Was there more?
At this moment, the surprise the Basic Body Tempering Method brought him was even more intense than that initial feeling of inspiration taking flight.
For within the thirty-six strengthening movements of the Basic Body Tempering Method, he had seen a broad road by which even ordinary people could transcend the mundane!
"No more."
Su Wen spoke. He had already laid out all three versions of the Basic Body Tempering Method.
"All right, I'll send both versions for evaluation."
The Star God said solemnly, "Comrade God of Wealth, thank you for what you've done for the country!"
Compared with ordinary people, Heavenly Mandate Bearers were still far too few.
But if ordinary people could stand shoulder to shoulder with Heavenly Mandate Bearers, Huaxia would possess a force that would draw the eyes of the world in the future.
This was especially true of the military. Once the Basic Body Tempering Method 2.0 reached the armed forces, it was bound to bring about a sweeping transformation throughout the military!
It was no exaggeration to say that Su Wen... had already influenced this era!
As for the God of Wealth's ability, he was now more or less certain of it.
Although he lacked the ability to attack through money, his ability to derive cultivation methods through money that could transform ordinary people stood on a level of scope countless times higher than the former.
One was a means that acted upon individuals; the other was a power that acted upon the collective.
Was there any comparison?
"Hmm... Star God, I've thought carefully about that feeling of inspiration taking flight that you wanted. There may actually be a way to make it happen."
Su Wen thought for a moment before speaking.
"!!!"
The Star God's pupils contracted. He immediately seized Su Wen by both arms and asked excitedly, "How can we make it happen? No, I should ask, how can I help?"
"I'll climb mountains of blades and plunge into seas of fire! No matter how difficult it is, just say the word, and I'll get it done!"
The Star God's grip made Su Wen's arms ache, and he could not help letting out a muffled grunt.
When the Star God noticed, he gave a couple of awkward chuckles and quickly lowered his hands.
"There's no need to be so serious. Just study the Basic Body Tempering Method 2.0 more when you have nothing else to do."
Su Wen said, "As your horizons broaden and your strength improves, the information you know and the things you learn about will surely grow more and more extensive."
"So when you have some free time, take a look at the Basic Body Tempering Method. If you think there's something wrong with it, you can revise it too."
"Maybe if you keep looking at it, that feeling will come to you?"
"Who can say for sure with these things?"
The Star God: "..."
His heart had been racing as he waited expectantly for the God of Wealth to reveal the grand undertaking he had in mind.
And this was it?
Look at the Basic Body Tempering Method when he had nothing to do, and the feeling would come?
Did he really think that feeling of inspiration taking flight was as common as cabbage?
Hmm... if the revamped version of the Basic Body Tempering Method really could bring inspiration, but it was simply hidden deeper, then it was possible.
"Give it a try!"
Su Wen spoke with a smile. He was not joking about this.
If the Star God in the future studied the Basic Body Tempering Method, then when Su Wen went to the future again and brought back the latest version, wouldn't the Star God get that feeling of inspiration taking flight?
Although it sounded a little unreliable, that was how it was. What could he do?
He could only say that the Star God he would meet on his next journey through time would be the one he had hoodwinked.
But hoodwinking the "future" Star God was also for the sake of the present Star God!
For the good of the Star God in the present, the Star God in the future would have to put in a little extra effort.
"All right, I'll study it, then!"
The Star God spoke softly. For the sake of that exhilarating feeling of enlightenment, there was no harm in trying.
The God of Wealth probably had his own grounds for saying so.
Surely he wasn't just teasing him?
"By the way, there's one more thing I need to tell you."
"Go ahead."
The Star God spoke gravely. Ever since he had entered the God of Wealth's office, everything the God of Wealth had said had been a major matter.
Whether it was the three versions of the Basic Body Tempering Method or the mysterious feeling of inspiration taking flight.
The previous two matters had both been major ones, so the next one was certain to be important too.
"I just thought of a way to make money. I think it's sure to be very profitable."
"..."
The Star God froze. Make money?
Why had the conversation suddenly shifted from matters of cultivation that led the transformation of an era and triggered profound enlightenment to making money?
"You don't need to worry about money. The country has your back, so whatever money you need won't be a problem!"
The Star God spoke directly. He felt that the God of Wealth's horizons perhaps still needed broadening.
The God of Wealth had made such a great contribution to the country with the three versions of the Basic Body Tempering Method. How could the country be stingy with money?
Besides, the God of Wealth already needed to spend money to derive cultivation methods. What were you trying to do by not giving him money?
Most importantly, letting the God of Wealth waste his precious time on how to make money would be a tremendous loss to the country!
"The amount I need might be a tiny bit large."
Su Wen said softly, "Besides, I think this way of making money is practically getting it for free. It'd be a waste not to use it."
The Star God beckoned with his right hand and put away the little purple clock.
"How much do you need?"
"In principle, there's no upper limit. The more, the better."
"..."
After a moment's silence, the Star God said, "Our organization receives funding every month. If you need it, I can put you in control of the funds."
"You can draw on them as you please, according to your needs."
"If you need more than our organization's funding, give me a specific figure. I can report it to the higher-ups, and I believe they'll approve it."
Su Wen thought for a moment, then asked, "How much funding does our organization get a month?"
"Ten billion."
"Then can I take all of it right now?"
"..."
After a long while, the Star God's voice rang out in the God of Wealth's office.
"Um... it wouldn't be appropriate to take all of it. We should at least leave the organization some money for its daily expenses, shouldn't we?"
