Chapter 5 1 Million Spirit Coins!
If Zhang Hengxing hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it!
Advancing from a mid-tier quasi-warrior to a high-tier quasi-warrior in just 20 days—what kind of astounding talent does that require?
“Damn it! Keep cultivating? Cultivate my foot!” Zhang Hengxing angrily threw the water bottle in his hand to the ground.
Clearly, he was deeply impacted, thoroughly provoked by Su Xiaobai.
He had thought that through hard work, leveraging his family’s resources, and relying on his own cultivation aptitude, he could stage a stunning turnaround. Yet someone else had silently crushed that dream in its infancy!
“But... a genius like this, since I’ve discovered him, I can’t let other families beat me to it!”
Zhang Hengxing took several deep breaths, finally managing to calm down a bit. “If I can forge a connection with him and gain his assistance, perhaps my Zhang family can secure a place in Base No. 18 in the future!”
Base No. 18 had a population of five million.
Although the Zhang family could be considered wealthy, their influence and power were, in reality, pitifully small.
Otherwise, why would he come to the Warrior Hall’s training room to cultivate?
Wouldn’t it be far more convenient to simply build an expensive training room at home?
In this era, talent and elite individuals were the ultimate assets.
Attracting enough talented elites could add bricks to the family’s foundation and prepare for future prosperity!
Thus, whenever a family discovered a genius, they would spare no expense to recruit them immediately.
“Su Xiaobai!”
With this thought, Zhang Hengxing no longer hesitated. He decisively chased after Su Xiaobai and called out to him.
“Huh?”
Su Xiaobai turned around to see Zhang Hengxing. At first, he felt a bit unfamiliar, but soon information about Zhang Hengxing popped into his mind.
A classmate.
One of the first in their class to advance to a beginner quasi-warrior.
At the same time, personal information about Zhang Hengxing appeared in Su Xiaobai’s mind:
Human: Zhang Hengxing
Realm Level: Beginner quasi-warrior
Strength Level: Beginner quasi-warrior
Endurance Level: Intermediate quasi-warrior
Agility Level: Beginner quasi-warrior
Zhang Hengxing had noticed his rapid progress, assumed he had exceptional talent, and wanted to recruit him early.
That made sense. If Su Xiaobai were in Zhang Hengxing’s shoes, he’d likely do the same.
“Well... I’m not currently interested in joining any family or faction,” Su Xiaobai said.
Zhang Hengxing’s hopeful expression visibly dimmed.
“But... if your Zhang family can offer enough sincerity, I might consider it!”
Hearing this, Zhang Hengxing’s eyes lit up again. “What do you want? Just say the word, as long as the Zhang family can provide it!”
“I don’t want much. How about this: give me one million spirit coins, and I’ll become your family’s guest. How does that sound?” Su Xiaobai tested.
He hadn’t planned on joining any family.
But seeing the money offered to him on a silver platter, why refuse?
He initially thought of asking for 200,000 coins.
But then he figured, if he could name a price, why not ask for more?
After all, he needed 200,000 to unlock the system and upgrade his cultivation space.
“One million spirit coins?”
“Deal!” Zhang Hengxing agreed instantly, his face full of excitement.
What?!
So straightforward?!
Wow! I undersold myself!
Su Xiaobai regretted his decision.
If he’d known Zhang Hengxing would agree so readily, he would’ve asked for five million!
“Forget it. It’s a small loss. At least with this million, I won’t need to struggle to scrape together the funds.”
Without Zhang Hengxing’s invitation, Su Xiaobai would have had to join a hunting team after becoming a warrior, venture outside the base to hunt beasts, and sell their corpses.
That would take several months, and there was always the risk of injury—or worse, death.
Zhang Hengxing’s arrival had saved him a great deal of trouble!
“Honored guest, this is a Warrior Hall bank card with a one-million-coin balance. The password is six zeros!”
Zhang Hengxing respectfully handed a bank card to Su Xiaobai.
Although they were peers, this was the proper etiquette for treating an esteemed guest.
Looking at the card with a one-million-coin balance, Su Xiaobai’s eyes lit up!
