Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 156: Throwing out money

In the end, I said with a nod, "Alright, I’ll teach you the ways of the true prodigal!"

Wang Jian’s eyes lit up when he heard this before he said with a determined nod, "Yes!"

I waved for him to come over and I leaned in to say, "The first lesson is to not care about what those other people say about you."

Wang Jian trembled when he heard before looking up at the people around them. There was this look in his eyes that made it clear that my advice had a big effect on him, but there was also a small part of him that seemed to be hesitating still.

So I said, "What do they matter to you? It’s your money, not theirs."

Wang Jian was even more surprised when he heard this, but there was a look of slow realization that appeared in his eyes. At the same time, as he looked at me, it was as if there was some kind of resonance with me that appeared in him.

I wasn’t surprised by this.

After all, I was certain that before this, he most likely had never met a single person who was like him.

Though one really couldn’t say that we were alike in the first place.

There was a large difference between the two of us.

It wasn’t a difference in terms of anything material, it was a difference when it came to personalities.

I was completely confident in my actions as a prodigal, but he was hesitating over the things that he did. He would never be able to act the way of a true prodigal with the way that he kept doubting himself and thinking about what others thought of him.

Being a prodigal was all about self indulgence in the first place after all.

One couldn’t be a true prodigal by caring about what others thought.

After a long silence, Wang Jian gave a nod as if he had suddenly realized something before taking out a bag and presenting it to me.

"Brother, thank you for your guidance. I hope you won’t mind this small token of appreciation."

I looked at the bag that he was presenting me with a faint smile that held a trace of bitterness.

For the first time in both of my lives, this was the first time that someone else was giving me a tip.

This really was not something that I had experienced before, but I didn’t take this money in the end. After all, this was a matter of prodigal pride for me.

I pushed that bag back which made Wang Jian worried, but then that worried look disappeared when I said, "What is money between brothers?"

Wang Jian’s eyes lit up when he heard this before he gave a firm nod and said, "Brother, I was too rash. I hope that you won’t mind."

I just patted him on the shoulder before saying, "As prodigals, we should do our best to waste our parents’ money. They work hard to earn it after all."

Wang Jian quickly nodded in agreement to this.

My eyes went from him to the people that were around us before saying, "Since those people have been so kind to gather around us, let’s make use of them."

Wang Jian was surprised to hear this as he looked at the people around us.

There was a look of doubt in his eyes as if he wasn’t sure that we should do something like this, but he gave a nod in the end.

Even though he hadn’t known me for long, it seemed like he had developed a sense of trust in me.

Still, it didn’t hurt to give him a bit of assurance.

I patted him on the shoulder and said, "We might waste money as prodigals, but that doesn’t mean that we will waste our money for nothing. The money can sometimes be seen as an investment when used the right way."

Wang Jian still had a look of doubt when he heard this, but he did look a bit better.

I raised my voice and said, "Everyone, to celebrate this meeting between me and Brother Wang, I want to give everyone a gift."

Everyone had a confused look at first until they saw what I had pulled out. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

I just casually waved my hand and there were a bunch of stones that fell to the ground, but their eyes had been following the stones the entire time. They looked up at me as if they were wondering what I would do, but I just stood there with a calm look on my face.

Seeing that I didn’t do anything, they slowly moved forward and started picking up the stones from the ground.

That was because I had thrown a bunch of High Grade Spirit Stones on the ground.

In the face of these spirit stones, they didn’t hesitate at all to pick them off the ground. They didn’t care how this would make them look as they just picked them up one by one.

When it was over, they all looked up at me and said, "Junior brother, do you have any more?"

They didn’t even thank me for them, they just expected me to give them more like it was natural.

Wang Jian knitted his brows when he saw this and he wanted to say something, but I just waved my hand and threw even more High Grade Spirit Stones on the ground without a word.

Then without caring for anything else, I turned to leave.

They didn’t seem to care as they kept picking up the spirit stones.

As we walked off, Wang Jian also opened up the bag in his hand and tossed the content onto the ground.

I was surprised to see that it was a hundred Mid Grade Spirit Stones.

While he wasn’t as rich as me, it was clear that he wasn’t stingy.

This was a sign of a good prodigal.

It seemed that I could be friends with him.
