High Martial Arts Start with Ant Talent Fusion
Chapter 198 The Exorbitantly Priced Laboratory
"My older brother gave this to me; he said it was for my allowance."
Fang Ling had no idea how much money was in the card. Her older brother, Fang Fan, had given it to her casually, saying that she could use it to spend money in the future.
I jokingly said back then that this card might be able to buy a house.
Who knew that her brother was joking with her very seriously, saying that buying ten sets would be enough.
I felt a pang of sadness...
This white card is different from other cards on the market; there's no way to check the balance, so I've kept it on my person and haven't touched it yet.
If Xiaoji hadn't suddenly brought it up, I would have almost forgotten about this card.
"The money inside was probably meant for you by your older brother to buy some snacks."
"How could he have imagined that you, Master, would want to rent a laboratory?"
After hearing Xiao Ji's words, Fang Ling felt that they made sense. Her brother had just joined the Feng Huo Martial Arts School and she didn't even have enough money to spend, so how could he still have spare change for her?
So he put the white card in his pocket, then looked a little worried. His family wasn't well-off, and after he got the small machine, he hadn't thought about making any money. It wasn't until he used it that he realized how precious money was.
"Master, I do have ways to make money, but all of these take time, and the collected materials cannot wait. Once they are past their freshness, their medicinal effects will be greatly reduced."
The small machine was also a bit of a headache. It had considered all the problems, but it hadn't taken money into account.
After all, it's a system, so it doesn't require any money.
"What should we do then?"
"My brother isn't in Jianghai right now, so I can't borrow any money from him!"
Fang Ling never expected that she, a martial artist who was about to break through to the Martial Master level, would be stumped by money!
"If all else fails, I'll join a martial arts school. I refuse to believe that with my skills, they won't offer me generous compensation!"
Fang Ling hasn't joined the martial arts school yet because her strength has improved too quickly, and she's afraid of attracting the attention of some people with ulterior motives, which could lead to unnecessary trouble.
However, once I advance to the Martial Master level, I'll have to think twice about those troubles.
"Master, you have me, what need do you have for a martial arts school?"
"The martial arts school will only hinder your training."
When Xiao Ji's voice rang out, Fang Ling did not refute it. Although Xiao Ji sometimes liked to talk big and was unreliable, it had really played a great role in her cultivation.
It can find the right method for itself the fastest and avoid many mistakes.
Moreover, I already have Master Xie, so I don't need a martial arts school.
"How about we try the blank card my brother gave us?"
Fang Ling decided to go immediately, and if it didn't work, she would think of another way. So she headed towards the place Xiao Ji had indicated.
Soon, a magnificent building appeared before Fang Ling's eyes. The battle in Jianghai City had ended, and things were returning to normal, but there were hardly any people in the entire building.
They probably haven't recovered from the major battle yet.
Upon entering the hall, Fang Ling seemed quite curious about everything, as this was her first time here.
On the way here, Fang Ling had already washed the blood off her body, but her clothes were a bit worn and looked out of place in the bright hall.
"Hello, what do you need?"
A man came and asked a question, and Fang Ling told the woman his purpose.
The daily rent for that laboratory wasn't cheap, and the girl in front of her didn't seem wealthy. Although the woman was somewhat surprised, she still patiently explained.
"Okay, the daily rent for Cheng Jin's lab is 100,000!"
"How many days do you need to rent it for?"
The woman didn't show any disdain. After all, she worked there and knew how to read people, so she wouldn't let her personal feelings show based on a customer's clothing.
Some powerful figures like to play dumb to deceive others; who knows if the girl in front of you is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing?
But when Fang Ling heard the rent, she was shocked. She thought that even if the rent was high, it would only be a few thousand, since her family's living expenses were only a little over a thousand a month.
Who knew that the daily rent for this lab wasn't a thousand, or ten thousand, but a hundred thousand!
She had never seen so much money in her entire life!
Even if she sold her entire household, she probably wouldn't be able to raise 100,000 yuan.
No, even if we sold my brother Fang Fan, we still couldn't raise the money!
I had been holding onto a sliver of hope that the white card my brother gave me would be of some use, but now it seems like it's not even a fraction of what I'd hoped for!
This is just one day's rent. Is she too poor, or is it the life of the rich that she can't even imagine?
Fang Ling was speechless at the price. It was truly a case of the rich feasting while the poor freeze to death on the streets!
The receptionist noticed Fang Ling's shock and realized that the deal was unlikely to be completed, but she still patiently explained.
"The precision instruments in Cheng Jin's laboratory cost tens of millions each. They were developed specifically for high-level monsters. The daily maintenance and upkeep costs for these instruments are astronomical, so this price is not fabricated."
"Okay...okay!"
Fang Ling spoke up, somewhat regretting that she had come here to humiliate herself. It seemed that even if she joined the martial arts school, she wouldn't be able to raise 100,000 in a short time.
Xiao Ji forgot that in his era, technology had developed and laboratories were common, and they weren't as expensive as they are now.
Are you still renting it?
Fang Ling really wanted to say no and turn to leave, but somehow her hand inexplicably reached into her pocket and took out the white card.
"rent!"
Fang Ling and the little machine in her mind were both shocked. Why would they/their master say such a thing?
The receptionist looked at the white card with surprise and confusion. The embarrassment she had seen in the girl's eyes earlier was genuine; she shouldn't be able to afford it.
Moreover, she didn't recognize this white card at all.
She remembered some rare cards very clearly, but she had never seen this white card before.
Was he playing a prank on her?
The receptionist smiled wryly to himself, realizing that he was being bullied by customers here as well as by his colleagues.
If it weren't for the children and elderly people I have to support, I would really want to quit my job and just leave.
However, reality still defeated her; no matter what, she still had to do her job well.
The woman in charge of reception took the white card with both hands and then began operating a machine.
Seeing that the receptionist was still not finished, Fang Ling felt a little embarrassed and tentatively asked a question.
"Is there not enough money in there?"
"Maybe we shouldn't rent it for now!"
The receptionist looked at the information displayed on the screen with disbelief and slowly began to speak.
"What is your password...?"
The receptionist was surprised to find that the white card not only worked, but also required a password!
"Okay, okay, let me think of the password."
Fang Ling thought the receptionist would say there was insufficient balance, but she didn't expect to be asked for her password. But what was the password? When her brother told her the password, she didn't pay attention at all.
