The process of deification began with the discovery of hidden information in divine objects.

"Boss, are we just going to let them go like this?"

After leaving Su Ziye's house, the baseball player's tone was clearly filled with dissatisfaction.

"That kid has undergone a divine baptism."

"So what? I can beat him!"

The baseball player confidently swung his bat; his fighting experience far surpassed that of a high school student.

"Ali, how did it feel to fight him just now?"

Huang Long didn't answer the baseball player, but instead asked the burly man in a vest standing to the side.

"He's very strong, and his reactions are quick and decisive. How should I put it... he's even more direct than some of the thugs who hang out in the streets."

He recalled for a moment, a hint of apprehension in his eyes.

"If it really comes down to a fight, I might not be able to beat him, boss. You know speed isn't my strength."

Huang Long nodded.

"This kid's got talent. In all my years of collecting debts, this is the first time I've seen someone threaten to die with me."

"Even people like us who risk our lives don't have this kind of ruthlessness. He's bound to succeed in the future."

"Whether it succeeds or not is none of our business. That's in the future. What are we afraid of? At worst, the whole family will kill someone and bury them somewhere!"

The baseball player said fiercely.

"He has already undergone a divine baptism, and he is probably a top student at their school. He must be highly valued by the school authorities. Killing him would cause more trouble."

"Who's afraid of who!"

"I'm not afraid, but dealing with these troubles will probably cost more than 500,000. And if the higher-ups get involved, we'll be punished. Can't you think things through before you act and consider the pros and cons? Don't just shout for violence at the drop of a hat."

Huang Long said, somewhat speechless.

"Is it worth making a big deal out of this little bit of money? It's only a few thousand dollars. If you're short on sales, you can just find someone else to make up for it."

"Boss, I think you've got your eye on that braised pork, it tastes just like Mom's!"

Huang Long's face darkened.

"I think you're asking for trouble? But... that braised pork was really good."

"Yeah, and this kid is quite similar to you, boss. Both have gambling fathers and both ran away after owing money to loan sharks."

The baseball player nodded seriously.

But Huang Long remained silent at this moment.

Same fate, completely different results.

Su Ziye had his mother and younger brother by his side, but when he returned home, all he saw were his mother and younger sister who had committed suicide by poisoning themselves.

If I had Su Ziye's abilities back then... could I have prevented the tragedy from happening...?

"There are plenty of people like me, how could I possibly give everyone a chance? I just don't want to make a big deal out of it."

"Yes, yes, yes, you're just saying that, but you don't mean it."

"You brat...get out of here."

Huang Long kicked the baseball player in the butt, but the player dodged to the side.

"However... Su Ziye, his future is something to look forward to."

Huanglong looked up at the sky, which was shrouded in mist, as if covered by a layer of water vapor.

At home, the three of them sat down at the dining table again for a meal, but the atmosphere was somewhat somber for a moment.

"I'm sorry, Ziye, Zilin, I didn't mean to lie to you. I was planning to tell you after I found a job, but I didn't expect... things haven't been going well these past few days."

Qin Lan's tone was full of guilt.

"It's okay, Mom, it's not your fault. I'll figure out how to solve the money problem."

After finishing the last grain of rice in his bowl, Su Ziye wiped his lips with a lingering sense of satisfaction.

After undergoing the Thunder Body Refinement, his appetite increased significantly. Now, pure carbohydrates can only provide him with very limited nutrition. He needs to eat meat, lots of meat, fish, shrimp, and beef to meet his body's strength requirements.

"Just focus on your studies, Mom will figure out the money."

Qin Lan quickly stopped her.

"When you say 'find a way,' do you mean borrowing money?"

Qin Lan remained silent.

"When that guy ran away, he owed 50 yuan in high-interest loans. We did try to borrow money from relatives and friends, but was there anyone willing to lend us any?"

Su Ziye countered with a question.

"On the contrary, they cut off all contact with us after that. I don't blame them. In this world, everyone has their own difficulties, and they really have no obligation to help us."

"But similarly, we have no obligation to help them if something happens in the future."

"Leave the money to me, I'll figure something out."

Su Ziye said firmly.

It's normal for Qin Lan to be laid off by the factory because she's getting old; older people are slower and less efficient.

Why doesn't the factory hire those quick and efficient young people? There's no shortage of people for social services majors.

It's very difficult for her to find a job at her age, especially earning 10,000 yuan a month, which is practically a pipe dream.

"This... sigh... okay."

"Midnight, don't push yourself."

"If all else fails, I'll go and beg your grandparents. No matter what... I'm still their daughter..."

"Mom, I'm an adult now. I think a mature man should do three things: by the time he's 25, he should make his parents stand tall and proud."

"At thirty-five, make your wife realize that she has a good husband; at forty-five, make your children realize that they have a good father."

"My father couldn't do any of the three things, but I won't be like him."

"I can definitely handle the money issue, don't worry... Your son has now received a divine blessing and is already a key student at the school."

Su Ziye comforted her.

"Midnight...you've really grown up."

Qin Lan was filled with relief. If it weren't for her two children, she really wouldn't have been able to endure these seemingly endless days.

"Brother, you are the most amazing brother in the world."

"I want to be a responsible man like you."

Su Zilin's eyes lit up. His father had missed out on his childhood, and his older brother was like a father to him. In his eyes, his brother was the role model for his growth, and his biggest dream was to follow in his brother's footsteps and become an adult like his brother.

The next day, Su Ziye went to school early, running as fast as he could, as light as a swallow.

The benefits of the Thunder Baptism were not only that it directly improved his physical strength, but also that it broke through his physical limitations, giving him even greater room for improvement.

During lunch break between classes.

"Fengmian, is your dad's mine still short of workers?"

Su Ziye turned around and asked.

Zhang Fengmian paused for a moment, then put down the spicy strip in his hand.

"What's wrong? What do you want to do?"

"Yeah, I'm really short on money lately."

Zhang Fengmian was somewhat taken aback, as he rarely heard Su Ziye use the word "very".

"If it's not much, I can lend it to you; I have some pocket money."

"It's okay, as long as there's work, that's fine. Are you short-staffed?"

"There is a shortage, there has always been a shortage, but you know how tiring and high-risk the work is in the mines. And the college entrance exam is just around the corner. The school is giving you a rare opportunity to explore, and it would be a waste to waste your time on this."

"It's okay, I can handle it."

"Midnight, you're made of iron..."

Seeing that his friend was determined to do so, Zhang Fengmian sighed.

"Okay, I'll tell my dad, you can just come over this weekend."

Just then.

Outside the classroom, the appearance of a figure attracted the attention of most people.

"Su Ziye, come out for a moment."

A crisp sound rang out, and Xu Jingwen's eyes reddened slightly as she looked at Su Ziye by the window.

"Damn...they've even come knocking on our door..."

Su Ziye was speechless. Was Xu Jingwen a ghost?

Why are they so persistent in their pursuit?

"Midnight, your opportunity has arrived. Hook up with a rich woman, and your problems will be solved effortlessly, without you having to work anymore."

Zhang Fengmian smiled and nudged Su Ziye's arm.

"Why aren't you seizing the opportunity and hitting the bullseye in one shot!"
