[Reward: 223.5 Simoleons.]

"You've struck it rich!"

Upon seeing the content displayed on the simulator interface, Fang Rui, rubbing his neck, showed a surprised expression.

Although I had anticipated that the simulation would be very fruitful, I was still quite surprised when I actually saw the results.

The hundreds or thousands of simulated coins I earned in previous simulations are worlds apart from the more than two million simulated coins I earned this time!

The most crucial thing is...

With ample funds, he can empty the stock in his shopping cart.

Thinking this, Fang Rui switched the interface to the simulated shopping mall, found the items he wanted to buy, and purchased them one by one.

Get your tech gift pack!

Tens of thousands of futuristic technologies—you deserve to own them!

System function plugin upgrade...

Logout button – an indispensable feature for fully stealth games!

Fang Rui applauded the decision that there was no need to use the old-fashioned logout method anymore.

Seven Treasures Tree Bark...

The afforestation program has made groundbreaking progress!

…………

After some time, the shopping trip ended.

At this point, Fang Rui's wallet had shrunk to 98.56 virtual coins, but he didn't feel any heartache at all. On the contrary, he felt that the money was well spent.

"The full stealth technology... is to be given to Feng Zhenghao after the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. As for whether to contact the authorities..."

Fang Rui rubbed his cheek and thought for a moment before slowly shaking his head: "There's no need for now."

According to his plan, he will continue to release various future technologies. Under such circumstances, the authorities will come to him sooner or later, so there is no need for him to rush to find the authorities.

"Now... let's focus on planting trees and creating forests!"

Thinking this, Fang Rui turned his gaze to the window. The dark night sky was twinkling with tiny stars, and the soft moonlight spilled into the courtyard like a thin veil. The sweltering heat that lingered in the house was a specialty of summer. The cool breeze from the mountains blew into the room through the open window, carrying away the sweltering heat.

"Go to sleep!"

Although I'm very excited, it's my rest time, so it's best not to do anything that might disturb the neighbors.

…………

The next day, early in the morning.

A thin mist lingered in the forest, and the clear chirping of birds drifted into Fang Rui's room.

Fang Rui slowly opened his eyes, stared blankly at the ceiling for a while, then suddenly sat up, straightened his clothes, and took his toiletries to the courtyard.

It was still early, and the courtyard was deserted. He found the slightly dilapidated washbasin, turned on the tap, and started running water to check for rust in the water.

A little while later, on his way back to his room after washing up, Fang Rui happened to hear a little noise coming from one of the rooms.

Following the sound, Ma Xianhong, looking exhausted as if he hadn't slept all night, pushed open the door and came out.

"Didn't get enough rest?"

Fang Rui stopped, looked Ma Xianhong up and down for a while, and said thoughtfully, "Or rather, you... didn't sleep all night."

"Yes." Ma Xianhong readily admitted that he was used to staying up late, and when inspiration struck, he didn't care about rest!

"If you don't sleep, what do you do at night?"

Although he already had a guess in mind, Fang Rui felt it would be better to ask.

“Study the blueprints to see if there are any areas for improvement.”

"So, did you find it?"

"Of course I found it~" Ma Xianhong's tone was slightly excited, and his tired expression was somewhat dispelled by that excitement.

"Is that so..." Fang Rui pushed open the door and walked into the room while asking Ma Xianhong, "I'm going to visit the Old Celestial Master later, do you want to come with me?"

“No, I need to have a prosthetic limb made, so I won’t go,” Ma Xianhong refused.

“Okay.” Fang Rui didn’t try to persuade him further, and then left his residence to head to the canteen at Longhu Mountain.

Although Longhushan offers a meal delivery service, it requires advance reservation.

The Zhengyi School's canteen was very ordinary; it was just a slightly larger Chinese-style bungalow. The spacious room was divided in two by a central line. On the left was a kitchen with various vegetables and hanging cured meats and sausages, while on the right were several square tables.

The current breakfast consists of clear soup noodles, steamed buns, porridge, pickled vegetables, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables.

"A bowl of noodles, with two fried eggs."

After ordering, Fang Rui sat down at a square table by the window, his gaze sweeping towards the kitchen, where water was bubbling away in a large iron pot, with white steam rising directly above it.

Next to him was a chef stretching a dough into increasingly thinner pieces, showcasing his extraordinary skill.

"How did you sleep last night?"

Suddenly, a question came from the other side, instantly snapping Fang Rui out of his reverie. He looked toward the source of the voice and saw the spirited old master pushing a wheelchair slowly toward him, with his junior brother Tian Jinzhong sitting in the wheelchair.

The visit was cancelled, but the dinner plan was implemented...

Let's eat and talk!

As he watched the two sitting opposite him, Fang Rui silently thought to himself.

After Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong finished ordering, Fang Rui said in a normal voice, "If a more advanced plan were presented to you, and there were no dangers involved, would you be willing to give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei stared at Fang Rui for a moment, and having already guessed what was going on, he asked bluntly, "...Will I owe someone a favor?"

"Of course you'll owe favors. It's normal for friends to help each other. There's no need to worry about being blackmailed by favors."

The only thing separating us from a complete showdown is a name.

“Is that so…” Zhang Zhiwei nodded slightly, having already made up his mind, and said softly, “Then… I will seize the opportunity.”

"Wise choice."

Fang Rui resisted the urge to snap his fingers, placed the tips of his right index and middle fingers on his brow, copied the memory of a relatively advanced cultivation technique, and then flicked his sword finger, sending out a ball of blue-white light that flew straight into Zhang Zhiwei's brow.

A strange memory surfaced in Zhang Zhiwei's mind. He silently examined those memories and then said, "It's a remarkable cultivation technique."

Compared to the cultivation method he is currently practicing, the cultivation method Fang Rui gave him has a lower lower limit and a higher upper limit, and its level of refinement is also different.

In this way... it's not just a step further, it's practically speeding along a highway.

I thought it was just a small favor I owed, but it turned out to be an enormous one...

If such a generous gift is given, then... what is the purpose?

Zhang Zhiwei closed his eyes slightly, suddenly realizing that his previous decision had been somewhat hasty. As the breakfast for the three of them was served, he said, "Young friend Fang, would you be interested in showing me around?"

"Of course there is. The Celestial Master personally serving as a tour guide is a privilege that not everyone can enjoy."

Chapter 150 Back Mountain Transformation Plan

Half an hour later, Fang Rui, Zhang Zhiwei, and Tian Jinzhong left the canteen together and slowly walked along the path in the woods.

When the three of them reached a secluded spot, Zhang Zhiwei thought the current environment was suitable for discussing some private matters, so he prepared to ask Fang Rui some trivial questions. However, he did not directly ask Fang Rui what his purpose was or what he wanted to do.

Instead, they discussed various matters centered around "cultivation techniques."

"Young friend Fang, why did you give me a cultivation technique?"

There's no particular reason, I just find you pleasing to the eye.

Fang Rui's answer was unexpected, which surprised Zhang Zhiwei. His emotions became disjointed, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Tian Jinzhong's expression was also somewhat surprised. Although he didn't know how precious the cultivation technique Fang Rui had given him was, he knew the attitude of extraordinary people towards magic. Even when passing it on to a disciple, they would still need to test him, let alone a stranger...

It seems that there are indeed extraordinary individuals who impart their skills to someone simply because they find them agreeable.

After thinking for a while, Tian Jinzhong recalled a few people he had met in his early years who would pass on their cultivation techniques to whoever wanted them for all sorts of ridiculous reasons.

As Tian Jinzhong reminisced about the past, Zhang Zhiwei's somewhat chaotic emotions had subsided. He wore an expression that said, "I'm a scholar, don't try to fool me": "You gave me such a precious cultivation technique just because you like me? Don't joke around, be serious!"

"I'm not joking."

Fang Rui spoke earnestly, then added in a calm tone, "It's just a cultivation technique. It may be very precious to you, but it's not that precious to me."

After all, he was a legendary thief who earned the title of "Millennial Thief" in the Fox Spirit World and almost achieved the feat of "emptying the treasury of all forces in the Fox Spirit World".

With thousands of spells at his disposal, he speaks with confidence.

They completely disregarded a cultivation technique that could be considered advanced even in the world of fox spirits.

Zhang Zhiwei: "…………"

Why does this sound so familiar? I feel like I've heard it somewhere before...

After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhiwei found the source of the familiarity: a certain online video.

Immediately afterwards, he banished the random thoughts from his mind. There was no need to dwell on those trivial matters; the current issue was more important.

Based on his extensive experience, Zhang Zhiwei could tell from Fang Rui's tone that he wasn't lying; his casual attitude showed that he genuinely didn't care about the cultivation manual.

Therefore, he was surprised for a while.

However, he still didn't believe Fang Rui's reason for giving him the cultivation technique. It wasn't because the reason was ridiculous, but because he had a gut feeling that Fang Rui had ulterior motives for giving him the cultivation technique.

But intuition is very vague and not necessarily accurate.

Gathering his scattered thoughts, Zhang Zhiwei recalled something Fang Rui had said to him earlier. He closed his eyes slightly and said softly, "Let me make this clear beforehand: if anything crosses my bottom line, there's no way I'll help you."

The weathered sound drifted away on the wind, and the rustling of branches and leaves echoed through the forest.

"I know."

Fang Rui's reply also drifted away in the wind: "I told you this from the very beginning."

The entire conversation seemed to have said something, yet it also seemed to have said nothing at all.
