Chapter 129: 119 Turning Danger into Safety (Seeking monthly tickets, recommendations, and subscriptions)_1
The supplies provided by the Investigation Team for one month of cultivation were probably not going to last even ten to fifteen days at the rate he was using them; he would still have to rely on his own money to exchange for enough cultivation supplies.
Counting the ways he could earn money now…
One was Tang Huoyang’s uncle.
Now, each treatment costs three hundred thousand, and it won’t be long before it’s over.
He had never thought of being so heartless as to delay the symptoms intentionally.
One could be cold-blooded, but not so malicious.
Furthermore, if the illness couldn’t be cured continuously, Tang Yulou would probably just settle for that, as a monthly expenditure of tens of millions is not something his wealth could sustain for long.
After all, this legendary character of the Tang Family had not skimped on spending money for his treatments in the past two years.
The other big source was Boss Cai from the business firm, with a monthly filial fee of two million.
The cultivation resources from No.2 Middle School of Da Peng City had been cut off, and Principal Wang had moved the school’s finances under pressure originally to help Pei Jinye pass the elite assessment.
There was no reason for him to continue doing so now.
Fortunately, the money Pei Jinye himself made each month was completely sufficient.
“Cultivation burns through money; I’ve truly come to understand that,” Pei Jinye sighed.
Previously, his family would wake up early and stay up late just for a few hundred dollars to pay the rent.
Whereas now, the cost of materials for just one session of Pei Jinye’s cultivation amounted to hundreds of thousands or even more.
A month ago, he wouldn’t even dare to think about it.
“No wonder those people are so eager to control more gangs.”
Above his head was the Blood Lotus; Pei Jinye’s blood energy was continuously gathering all over his body as the mental method circulated.
He wanted to seize the time to become stronger as quickly as possible.
Because he still did not know the true purpose of that black-clothed elder (Faceless elder) arriving in Da Peng City.
After devouring the man with the white mask last night, Pei Jinye knew he came from Nagano, this time on orders from the headquarters to Da Peng City.
His downfall was due to being betrayed by an insider, which led to this covert operation being compromised from the very beginning.
In the memories of the man with the white mask, even he had not expected that the black-clothed elder would appear in person.
The other party’s purpose, or even when he came, was unclear to him.
Having devoured his memories, Pei Jinye was naturally also unclear.
“What a pity, I thought he was a somewhat useful ‘meaty dish’, but he turned out to be an useless ‘little sweet treat’…” Pei Jinye narrowed his eyes.
The second Blood Lotus was still rapidly progressing.
Now it was 20% complete.
The speed was over three times faster than the first Blood Lotus.
The “Spring” character formula’s divine-level assistance was indispensable.
Three rounds of cultivation were completed.
Pei Jinye slowly opened his eyes.
His spiritual power had reached a high overload state, with a faint tingling in his brain, and his muscles all over his body started to feel as though they had been pricked by ten thousand needles under the swelling of his blood energy.
“Hiss!”
Pei Jinye just woke up and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
He couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.
He was still being too tough.
He had cultivated too many times in one go, nearly costing him his life.
Using Telekinesis.
A package not far away shakily flew over and landed in front of him.
Pei Jinye didn’t dare to move.
His eyes fixed on a small compartment in the package, he suppressed the tearing sensation in his body as a restorative agent awkwardly flew in front of Pei Jinye.
“Chaotically!” Pei Jinye cursed under his breath.
The bottle was so hard to open.
With his emotions fluctuating, the tearing sensation on his body intensified, and blood even started oozing out faintly.
With a “bang”, the bottle cap opened.
Pei Jinye, holding his head up slightly,
Gradually, the tearing sensation on his body faded, and his vitality and spiritual power began to recover.
Pei Jinye, drenched in sweat and blood, quickly made his way to the washroom on one side.
His cell phone vibrated on the table.
But Pei Jinye didn’t hear it as he was in the shower.
Five minutes later when he came out,
He noticed a missed call.
Pei Jinye, wrapped in a white towel, dialed back.
Sun Ruofan cautiously said, “Student Pei, is it convenient for you over there?”
“It’s convenient, what’s up?” Pei Jinye asked indifferently.
Sun Ruofan hesitated for a long time, “I… do you have time? I want to ask you for help…”
Ever since the incident on the light rail, she had a feeling that her schoolmate was quite a powerful expert.
Moreover, with the situation arising suddenly, she didn’t dare to inform her father for fear of attracting unnecessary trouble.
Otherwise, given her father’s temperament, he would definitely investigate her two friends’ identities at the earliest opportunity, and perhaps even the secrets of their Long-term Association would be exposed.
“What’s the matter?” Pei Jinye frowned.
He had a feeling that trouble was on its way.
“I have two friends…”
Upon hearing this, Pei Jinye’s senses sharpened immediately, fearing the girl might blab everything over the phone.
He hurriedly interrupted.
“Let’s talk in person.”
Sun Ruofan was stunned, “Ah? Okay, okay, I’m at…”
Pei Jinye hung up the phone.
His gaze became firm.
He silently activated the Heavenly Calculation ability.
And quickly pinpointed the young man codenamed [Return to Origin].
Return to Origin was pale, hurrying down the busy street, pressing down the brim of his hat and occasionally looking back. Suddenly, two black-clothed bodyguards ran out of a corner about thirty meters away.
Return to Origin quickly ducked and hid behind a breakfast cart, then evaded the pursuers’ line of sight and hurried into an alley.
“Sister Cat, are they here yet? I can’t shake them off yet.”
But suddenly a voice changed by a voice changer came through the earpiece, “If you want to live, do as I say. There’s a door at three o’clock, enter it, move along the corridor on the second floor and head left.”
As Guiyi heard that voice, cold sweat burst out instantly.
“Who… who are you?” he asked nervously.
That voice was clearly not from the Silver Gradual Layer.
He had been infiltrated.
“Damn it!”
Guiyi’s heart skipped a beat.
However, the person in the earpiece said coldly, “You have ten seconds to decide whether to surrender or to listen to me.”
Guiyi was tense all over.
Glancing back, he saw Sister Cat looking toward the street from a corner.
The two black-suited bodyguards, one fat and one skinny, were closing in.
With gritted teeth and no time to consider anything else, Guiyi ran quickly towards the door at three o’clock, following the instructions from the person in his earpiece.
He burst through.
The sudden darkness was like the gaping maw of a monster.
Although Guiyi was afraid, he feared being caught by those following him even more.
He ran quickly along the corridor.
He was the only one in the entire hallway, the motion lights seemed to have broken long ago, leaving only the sound of his heavy breathing and the crisp sound of footsteps.
At the end of the hallway.
Guiyi stood in front of the red iron door, and just as he was about to push it open and burst out, he stopped, “You’re not going to harm me, right?”
But there was no answer in his earpiece.
Guiyi took a deep breath.
After exiting through the iron door and descending the stairs, he was greeted by Silver Gradual Layer appearing on a motorbike at the bottom of the stairs.
“Sister Cat?”
Silver Gradual Layer was also somewhat surprised, “I thought you’d be waiting at the entrance for me.”
She passed him a helmet.
Guiyi quickly put it on, got on the bike, and whispered, “Senior, are you still there?”
Still, there was no reply from the earpiece.
“What did you say?” Sister Cat asked, puzzled.
“It’s nothing, nothing. Sister Cat, let’s leave this place; there are still two guys from Heaven God behind us.” Guiyi suppressed his doubts and urged in a low voice.
Seeing this, Sister Cat didn’t say anything more.
She revved the engine.
The next moment, on the deserted path, a motorcycle sped away.
Approximately three minutes later, the two black-suited bodyguards, one fat and one skinny, arrived at the scene.
They looked around but saw no trace of anyone.
They dialed a number.
“We’ve lost the target.”
Pei Jinye sat inside the dormitory.
As expected, it wasn’t long before.
Sun Ruofan called again, “Student Pei, don’t trouble yourself anymore, my friend is fine. I’m really sorry for disturbing you.”
Pei Jinye’s gaze remained unchanged as he sipped on the freshly made watermelon juice, “It’s okay, but are you sure you don’t need my help anymore?”
“Really, no need, I also didn’t expect them to act so fast…” The girl realized she had said too much and quickly changed the subject, “Student Pei, I really appreciate your help. If it’s convenient for you, I’d like to treat you to a meal tonight or tomorrow.”
“No need for a meal, I’m currently practicing and might not have time.”
“Alright then… just take care of yourself.”
“…I will.”
“Well, if there’s nothing else, I won’t disturb you any further, goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
“Beep…”
The call ended.
Pei Jinye calmly put down his phone.
He wasn’t concerned about Sun Ruofan’s thanks.
But he was rather intrigued by the fact that people from Sky God International were trying to capture a hacker named Guiyi.
Only, at the moment, he had no useful information.
As noon approached.
Pei Jinye left the dormitory, heading for the cafeteria.
Passing by a small grove.
The barking of some dogs caught Pei Jinye’s attention.
He thought of the Big Black Dog and followed the sound.
Seeing a black figure, Pei Jinye’s face immediately darkened.
It was indeed that troublemaker!
Three beautiful horses tethered by their reins looked uncertainly at the Big Black Dog that had suddenly come to challenge them.
Whether it was insulting them too rudely or its dialect was too strong, the horses were too scared to approach and stamped anxiously on the spot.
The Big Black Dog still had a chain around its neck.
With a shake of its neck.
The chain swung in mid-air and fell to the ground with a thud, scaring the horses into a low whinny.
A slap came down.
The Big Black Dog jumped in fright, twisted its head to bite back, but upon seeing that familiar face, it immediately started rubbing against Pei Jinye’s legs with its tail between its legs, displaying as much enthusiasm as possible.
“So even such a thick chain can’t restrain you, huh? Where do you get so much vitality every day; maybe castrating you is the only way?”
Pei Jinye picked up the iron chain from the ground, its broken end showing obvious bite marks.
God knows what the Big Black Dog ate to grow so strong, its bite force was incredible.
“Haven’t you mutated?”
Pei Jinye suspiciously looked at the Big Black Dog.
The Big Black Dog didn’t understand what he meant and affectionately nuzzled closer.
“Come back with me first, I’ll run some checks on you later.” Pei Jinye led the dog back to the logistics area, and Old Zhang, sweating profusely and spotting the Big Black Dog, wished he could smack it with the shovel in his hands.
“That damned dog, running out after breaking the chain while I wasn’t watching. If it ran into some leaders with a bad temper, it would surely lose its life.”
The Big Black Dog looked at him nonchalantly, then clung to Pei Jinye, the chain winding around Pei Jinye’s leg. With annoyance, he gave the dog another slap, and it whined pitifully.
“Shut up.”
Pei Jinye glared at it.
The Big Black Dog really did stop barking and began to fawn over him.
The old man with the shovel stood by, his eyes wide with disbelief.
“Has this dog turned into a spirit?”
“Hurry and neuter it, lest it cause big trouble!”
