Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 518 - 404: Welcoming Your King!!!
A cool breeze drifted by, bringing a hint of refreshment.
But Ji Yunjin’s brows were tightly furrowed, her expression dissatisfied.
In this world, both Soul Cultivation and Mecha were Transcendent matters, and every related item was extremely expensive. With price tags often in the hundreds of thousands of credit points, these items were simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.
It was largely thanks to the Mercury Alliance’s youth talent subsidy policy that Ji Yunjin was able to embark on the path of cultivation.
Moreover, "Han Jiuming" had always handled these things. Why not just let him take out a loan like before?!
Having come to this conclusion, Ji Yunjin bit lightly on her fiery red lips, her voice soft and wheedling as she said,
"Jiuning, you know I’ve been without parents since I was little. And as a student in the Mecha combat department, all my regular credit points have to be used to buy ’Azure Spirit Liquid’ to cultivate my Soul Power. Could you take out another loan?"
"Heh, I’ve already maxed out my credit line. If I don’t have one million credit points, I can’t download the numerous models and related papers from the ’Knowledge Web.’ Then our Mecha modeling, sigh~" Hong Yuan spread his hands, feigning helplessness.
Ji Yunjin was definitely going to be the one paying for this.
No matter the world, cultivation always boils down to the ’Path, Wealth, Companions, and Land’ framework.
How can you cultivate without money?
What Mecha can you pilot without money?
Ji Yunjin wanted to say more, but by then Hong Yuan had already lazily reclined in his office chair, closing his eyes.
Feeling the drastic change in "Han Jiuming’s" attitude, Ji Yunjin felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
Yet when she thought about the significance of the "Meta-Universe Mecha+" competition to her, she couldn’t help but sigh.
She had been counting on using this competition as a platform to gain investment from a mega-corporation like the Penguin Group, become one of its senior members, rise in rank, get a salary bump, reach the pinnacle of her life, and live happily ever after...
"One million credit points..." Ji Yunjin’s pretty face turned pale, her hands tightly clasped together.
She let out a shaky breath and nodded. "I’ll arrange the credit points within two days. Make sure there are no mistakes on your end."
Hong Yuan, his eyes still closed, nodded. "Just transfer it into my account."
Ji Yunjin took another look at Hong Yuan, who was reclining in his office chair with his eyes closed, resting. She clenched her teeth, huffed quietly, and then walked towards the exit, the clicking of her high heels on the floor resounding with her steps.
Once she reached the lounge, Ji Yunjin made a video call to her best friend, Jiang Yuyue.
A screen lit up, and a beautiful woman with silver-white hair instantly appeared on it.
"Hello, Yunjin, what’s up?"
Jiang Yuyue was currently sunbathing by the swimming pool of her large villa, her exquisite, alluring curves on full display, looking incredibly hot.
She took a sip of red wine and spoke to Ji Yunjin in a gentle voice.
Ji Yunjin took a deep breath and, through gritted teeth, stated her purpose:
"Yuyue, can you lend me one million credit points? I need to participate in ’Meta-Universe Mecha+.’"
"Han Jiuming is out of money."
"..."
Hearing her best friend’s words, Jiang Yuyue’s brows lifted slightly as she slowly sat up, her ample chest threatening to spill from her attire.
But at this moment, Jiang Yuyue paid no mind to her near wardrobe malfunction; she was quite surprised by the change in "Han Jiuming."
If she remembered correctly, hadn’t Han Jiuming always been pursuing Yunjin, willingly playing the fawning suitor, proactively bearing the cost of Yunjin’s cultivation resources? How could he suddenly start asking Yunjin for credit points?
A fawning suitor, awakened?! This discovery quite astonished Jiang Yuyue!
"Sigh~"
"I really don’t know what’s going on!"
"This Han Jiuming has suddenly adopted a brazen, ’what-can-you-do-to-me’ attitude. Teaming up with him has brought me nothing but bad luck." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"Furthermore, he’s just a poor student. And as a student from an orphanage, what kind of Mecha can he possibly build?"
"If only Ming were still at school. Teaming up with Ming, forget one million credit points, even if it were five million, I’d willingly go broke to support him."
"You don’t know! Just now, Han Jiuming asked me to demonstrate some Mecha piloting techniques, and he knows nothing about me or my capabilities."
"Listen to that! What kind of nonsense is that?"
"Yuyue, Han Jiuming has left me utterly speechless."
"If I have to stick with Han Jiuming any longer, I’ll really be at my breaking point!"
"..."
A stream of complaints and disdain spilled from Ji Yunjin’s mouth, loud enough to carry outside the lounge.
At that moment, Hong Yuan was passing through the corridor outside the lounge, heading towards the restroom. His ears twitched as he caught a portion of Ji Yunjin’s venting.
Hong Yuan’s expression remained unchanged as he continued toward the restroom.
He’d seen too much of people acting one way to someone’s face and another behind their back. It was hardly anything to fuss over.
Moreover, once he mastered the Slave Tao Divine Power, "See Me Causing Division"...
With Ji Yunjin’s soul foundation, she wouldn’t be able to resist this Divine Power at all.
By then, Ji Yunjin would be nothing more than a slave to him!
The current frustration was simply a concession for his Original Body’s sanctification in Dream Tao.
In the face of the pressing task of his Original Body achieving sanctification in Dream Tao, minor frustrations were nothing.
...
DING-DONG!
A notification sound rang out. Hong Yuan slowly opened his eyes to check the credit point balance on his account.
"Your account xxxx2233 has received 1,000,000 credit points..."
Aside from that, there were also several messages from Ji Yunjin. Hong Yuan curled his lip and effortlessly spouted a series of promises to her.
