Ascending through the ranks requires resources.

Whether it's piling up unlimited resources or optimizing progress with limited resources, the costs involved are considerable.

Blood serum costing millions or even tens of millions of yuan per vial is not something ordinary people can afford, nor can they simply buy it whenever they want.

There are many intricacies involved.

For example, Zuo Teng and his group's harvest on this trip amounted to two to three million, but when converted into blood potions, it was only about two doses.

This was the result of nearly three months of effort by Zuo Teng.

Although Zuo Teng will be able to lead a team independently in the future and will gain more benefits as he becomes more familiar with the Qin Meng environment, it will undoubtedly take years to exchange for dozens of blood potions.

As the third and fourth generation of Western Capital, their qualifications are another matter, but what they rely on most is their personal connections and the wealth of their families.

But when compared side-by-side, they are undoubtedly inferior.

This even made Zhu Shengnan and others question their existence, finding it difficult to distinguish between those from wealthy families and those from humble backgrounds.

"Professor Zhou is always very stingy, how could she be willing to give you five vials of blood serum on credit?" Zhu Shengnan asked in a low voice.

Professor Luo Hui is stingy, but Zhou Yueyan is even stingier.

Even Zhu Shengnan was extremely envious of the chance to get blood serum, or even a large quantity of blood serum, from these two incredibly stingy people.

She was even willing to put aside the matter of that tiny, broken satellite and instead genuinely seek advice on how to achieve it.

"Professor Luo was very generous. He thought I was beautiful and gave me twenty cigarettes on credit. He only came to collect half the debt a few days ago after I made some money," Zhang Xuezhou said casually. "Professor Zhou also praised my good looks and admired me very much!"

"Really?" Zhu Shengnan asked doubtfully.

"You can't find out anything about Professor Zhou, but you can ask Gao Gao about Professor Luo Hui Luo Hui and see if he thinks I'm beautiful!"

"Gao Gao?"

"I don't know, I don't know anything!"

Luo Gaogao shook his head vigorously.

Professor Luo Hui is clearly no pushover, capable of secretly competing with Ren Yisheng's team and even ousting Wang Haoran.

If her grandfather thought Zhang Xuezhou was beautiful, he would allow her to buy things on credit. Luo Gaogao thought that this was only possible if her grandfather suffered a brain hemorrhage and became mentally disabled.

"You're not being sincere," Zhu Shengnan said, dissatisfied. "I'm sincerely asking for your advice!"

"If you don't believe me, I'll send a message to Professor Luo Hui!"

The debtor is the boss, and Zhang Xuezhou wasn't worried that Professor Luo Hui would ignore him. He casually sent Professor Luo Hui a message that read, "Professor, do you think I'm pretty?"

He showed it to Zhu Shengnan for a few seconds, and when a short "beautiful" replied on the communication screen, Zhu Shengnan was speechless.

The fact that Professor Luo Hui cooperated so readily suggests that Zhang Xuezhou and Professor Luo Hui definitely had a relationship.

She envied this kind of relationship, but she couldn't achieve such intimacy.

"He's handsome, so we can only dream about him!"

As Zhen Mei massaged Jiang Feng's temples, she casually remarked something, which Zhu Shengnan could only nod in agreement.

Their relationships were limited to Lineage, peers, or those in similar social strata, but Zhang Xuezhou clearly broke through this level; the other party even had a very close connection with Zhou Yueyan.

This is the kind of connection they admire, but it's also the kind of connection they struggle to achieve; even imitation falls short of their ability.

Zhang Xuezhou's response was perfunctory yet practical; a short communication was enough for Zhu Shengnan to fully understand the situation.

"Zuo Teng has always had a competitive mentality. If he knew about these things, he would probably be so angry that he wouldn't be able to sleep for several days and would have to get up in the middle of the night to practice martial arts," Zhu Shengnan said, shaking her head.

"The day after he came back, he went to the farmers' market and saw with his own eyes Zhang Xuezhou make money using the psychology of alien beasts," Luo Gaogao said helplessly. "Zhou Tianhao said that Zuo Teng hasn't slept much for several days and has been sparring with him every day. Zhou Tianhao's body can't take it anymore, and he even wanted to ask me to go and help him out!"

"Look how ambitious they are, while you're just messing around with satellites," Zhu Shengnan complained. "Don't let everyone else be in the Fifth Sequence or Sixth Sequence while you're still dawdling in the Fourth Sequence. You know, once you start doing something distracting, you might fall behind in every step!"

"These things always have to be done by someone," Luo Gaogao said. "Even if what I'm doing now is insignificant, one day we will grow stronger until we accomplish everything. What does it matter if I pay a little personal price?"

"Look at this stubborn little brat who's gotten agitated!"

After some fruitless inquiries, Zhu Shengnan quickly got to the purpose of her trip.

She teased Luo Gaogao a few times before asking for help.

"I've already contributed 500,000," Zhang Xuezhou complained. "I've only sent a few thousand messages in my entire life, there's no way I'll break even!"

"Think about it! Think about it carefully!"

Zhu Shengnan looked at Zhang Xuezhou with hopeful eyes, constantly giving him Zhang Xuezhou.

"The benefits of developing satellite technology go far beyond this," Zhu Shengnan said.

"I really can't think of any other benefits?"

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head repeatedly.

He felt a little uneasy.

His taming of the strange beasts at the farmers' market was undoubtedly done in public, but only a few people knew that he went to Zhu Liangping's strange beast factory to tame them.

Clearly, this minority group also includes Zhu Shengnan.

The woman before him was undoubtedly there to beg for alms and money.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't tame many exotic beasts at Zhu Liangping's factory; in two days, he only managed to tame about twenty. At 200,000 yuan per beast, the total value was just over five million yuan.

This included the purchase of some frozen alien beast blood and some crude extracts.

He didn't have much money left after the purchase, less than three million, but that couldn't keep up with how quickly he made his money.

In just a few days, Zhang Xuezhou has already made tens of millions of yuan using this skill.

Not to mention Zuo Teng was so angry that he couldn't sleep for days, even Zhu Shengnan, who had a relatively stable harvest in the Qin-Meng ruins, couldn't withstand such stimulation.

Zhang Xuezhou can't do this kind of thing every day; he has to wait a month before he can go to the alien beast market again. Not every laboratory needs alien beasts that can be raised. They don't hunt alien beasts in Qinmeng every day either. In fact, they have various expenses and all kinds of high risks that are hard to guard against.

After comparing the options, Zhu Shengnan and the others decided to ask Zhang Xuezhou for more money.

Although Zhang Xuezhou's Lineage is not a wealthy family in Western Capital, their money-making skills are sustainable, and their wealth is endless. Their coming to seek money is not considered cutting off their roots.

"This matter... your family must have quite a few trade secrets," Zhu Shengnan reminded her. "Each of your secrets might be worth millions. The satellites we control can help you completely conceal these trade secrets and prevent anyone from eavesdropping on them!"

"That's right, the Zuo Household has started a new live streaming platform called Feiyu. They're the kind of people who play it safe and are most likely to come up with crooked ideas to compete," Zhen Mei chimed in. "You only need to make a small investment now, and you'll be set for life!"

"But we don't have any trade secrets," Zhang Xuezhou said in surprise. "We welcome others to follow suit and develop live streaming. Some of them want to quit, and we've even tried our best to persuade them to stay and encourage them to persevere. If you don't believe me, give me your contact information, and I'll send them some messages about their efforts in developing live streaming. If they ask how to improve their live streaming, I can even recommend that they talk to my mom."

Ah~

Zhang Xuezhou was absolutely right. Following the trend of developing live streaming is extremely beneficial for mass promotion, and they welcome the emergence of various live streaming software.

As for some live-streaming apps that were losing money, Wang Li couldn't help but kick them while they were down, hoping they could hold on a little longer. After all, the longer they held on, the more they would lose, and he was happy to see these people who were trying to make money by following the trend suffer losses.

That's the gist of the matter, but the way Zhang Xuezhou put it was different.

At least Zhu Shengnan didn't understand why the Zhang Household operated in this way.

In Western Capital, no Lineage is without its share of exclusion when it comes to working in any industry; the attitude is, "If I'm in this industry, you can't interfere."

This even included specific laws for protection, and only powerful Lineage in Western Capital could control most of the electricity, communications, energy, tap water, salt, aerospace, steel, and military industries, as well as many related protective policies adapted to local conditions.

Few Lineage would allow others to interfere, let alone welcome it.

Having grown accustomed to the development models of many industries over a long period, Zhu Shengnan found it difficult to understand the Zhang Household's development.

This further reduced her already limited reasons by a third.

They came to beg for alms and money, using their silver tongues to persuade Zhang Xuezhou to spend more money, rather than to rob him.

How to persuade Zhang Xuezhou has undoubtedly become a major problem.

Zhu Shengnan was at her wits' end, while Zhang Xuezhou watched the four-person group who had come to visit with great interest.

He had previously communicated with Wang Li that the network environment required for live streaming is extremely demanding, and there are huge communication needs. It would be best if they had some connection with the Jiang family and other Lineage.

Before Zhang Xuezhou could even try to find a way to get to know them, these people came to his door on their own initiative.
