Exploding God
Chapter 40 [The Second World]
"What?! Borrow money?! I..."
Liang Bo was still on the phone when he suddenly jumped up, but then became speechless.
The commotion wasn't huge, but it was enough to attract a lot of attention. For example, more than ten first-year high school students nearby couldn't help but cast disdainful glances at the commotion after hearing it.
Even if you don't want to lend money, it doesn't have to be this exaggerated. There was also a chubby guy who earnestly told his good friend something like, "Look at me, even if I didn't want to lend you money, I wouldn't jump up like this. I would only reason with you."
"It was my oversight. It's alright, you can go back now." Looking at the projection on the wristband, Lu Ze raised an eyebrow. He then realized that in this senior year of high school, it seemed that Liang Bo, this rich young master, had not yet achieved financial freedom, so it was time to activate Plan B?
"What did you say!" Liang Bo swallowed the words that were in his throat and said angrily.
"Brother, I'm so excited... We've been through thick and thin together for six years! You finally spoke to me, hahaha." Liang Bo's neck was flushed with excitement.
Liang Bo finally got his usefulness.
"By the way, how much do you want to borrow? I still have 17800 in my savings account. If it's not enough, I'll ask my mom for more." Young Master Liang said it with a clear conscience, since he was the only son in the family. After saying that, he tapped his bracelet a few times, looked up, and chuckled, "I'll transfer it to you first."
He didn't even mention the purpose of the money or the repayment schedule. This amount, which is a huge sum for a high school student, was no different from a piece of paper on the street in Liang's words.
"Hmm...that's enough." Lu Ze really wanted to say that 10,000 yuan was about right, but since things were like this now, what he said next was: "I need this money to do some business. Here are two options, think about them."
"What kind of plan is this? You're looking down on your brother! Do you think I, Liang Bo, am the kind of person who would ask my brother to pay me back?!" Liang Bo's breathing became heavy as soon as he heard this, and he was about to lose his temper.
"In the first option, I'll return the money to you in ten days, and I'll also give you a fun little gadget."
"The second option is to set up a company. We won't return your money; instead, we'll invest 20% of your shares. After the college entrance exam, you'll need to participate in a series of trial production and distribution processes."
Lu Ze ignored Liang Bo's interruption and seriously stated the two plans, his eyes filled with a smile.
"Start a company?"
Liang Bo paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he clapped his hands excitedly. "This is interesting! This little bit of money isn't enough to start a company. I'll go ask my mom for more! Hahaha, what 20% ratio? It sounds so convincing. As long as I can get a position, that's fine, hahaha."
As for making money and the product, Liang didn't even think about it. Does that matter?
He was even certain that Lu Ze would lose money, but failure is the mother of success. Without experiencing such setbacks, how could their relationship grow stronger over time?
Brotherhood is built on mutual sabotage!
Anyway, he'll always have his mother's help. If he's short of money, he'll just ask for it. As long as he doesn't starve, he's sure he'll rise to prominence in the future.
Wait a minute, that's a bit too far ahead.
Liang Bo suddenly raised his head and stared intently at the calm-looking boy in the projection.
"Oh, right..."
"What? Do you have any thoughts or suggestions?"
"no."
"That is..." Lu Ze found that he couldn't keep up with this guy with abnormal brain circuits, and for the first time, his words carried a hint of doubt.
"You actually made it out of the principal's office alive! That's awesome!" Liang Bo slapped his thigh.
Lu Ze: "..."
For the first time, he had serious doubts about his friend's intelligence. What exactly did the eldest daughter of the Silver Moon Clan see in this guy in her past life?
However, another century-old mystery seems to have been solved: the fact that this idiot died with his wife in his previous life was definitely related to his low intelligence.
"Everything is fine. I'll send you an encrypted communication software later. You can contact me via the bracelet before the college entrance exam."
"Damn, you're leaving already? Men really are all heartless. Let's chat for another five bucks." Liang tried his best to persuade him to stay.
"goodbye."
The communication screen went black instantly, and Lu Ze chose to act swiftly and decisively.
A few seconds later, Lu looked up at the azure sky and watched the fighter jets patrolling and passing by in the clear sky, a smile playing on his lips.
Some feelings, even after a century, have never faded.
One life, two brothers!
……
……
Lu Ze didn't go home, and it wasn't time to pick up Lu Ming from school yet, so he found a nearby internet cafe and booked a single room with good soundproofing. It was a bit pricey, costing 25 yuan an hour.
Not counting the money Liang Dashao just invested, with his current savings of less than 500 yuan, he could only afford to surf the internet for less than 20 hours.
After putting on the VR headset and pairing the host with his wristband account, Lu Ze logged into "Second World".
Philosopher Berkeley once proposed a well-known view in his book "The Principles of Human Knowledge": to be is to be perceived.
Therefore, human cognition of things and the external world is merely a combination of various perceptions of things; humans themselves are actually unable to know the things themselves.
When a person's senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch are simulated in a game, it can be said that a person truly exists in the game.
【Second World】 is a massive, globally connected social networking application that utilizes the most mature virtual reality technology currently available. It is a product that truly puts this concept into practice; it is neither a simple chat tool nor a game.
To be precise, Second World is a high-tech platform built under the joint leadership of five major global alliances, and also a business framework with unlimited potential.
The five alliances provide technical support and solutions.
For those in various industries, this platform offers endless creative ideas, allowing them to build their own functional stores.
For example, game companies can build various holographic sub-worlds with game functions within "Second World," architects can establish a holographic design firm, journalists can create their own exclusive channels or even virtual news agencies, shooting clubs can use holographic sports equipment to replicate their real-world businesses and various firearms, fishing clubs can use holographic technology to allow viewers to enjoy the sense of accomplishment of catching a shark with a fishing rod, and biological institutions can use the powerful computing power of Second World to provide an excellent experimental platform for medical and biological workers, and so on.
The Second World and the Red Mist Anomaly occurred at the same time.
The transformation of the crimson mist changed an era.
The Second World, on the other hand, ushered in a new era.
Therefore, Lu Ze naturally arranged the important task of meeting Qi Yuan here.
As for why he wanted to meet with Qi Yuan, the star sniper of the Shanglan University Hibiscus Squad, that has to do with Lu Ze's primary objective at this stage.
You asked what the primary objective is?
Lu Ze spent 10 seconds pondering this question that morning, and finally settled on a more rigorous answer: "How to earn 100 million in 30 days?"
This is not a trivial question, but a very pressing one facing Lu Ze.
The primary reason for this problem, of course, is to address the issue of those nanobots for my brother's upcoming surgery.
However, the deeper reason is related to Lu Ze's longer-term plan.
The so-called four essential elements of spiritual practice—Dharma, wealth, companions, and environment—have already been explained by wise men in ancient texts.
Especially after Lu Ze experienced the turmoil of the galaxy over the next hundred years, he felt the impact of this statement even more deeply.
The Zhong Lü Chuan Dao Ji states: "There are five ranks of immortals and three vehicles of Dharma." This statement needs no further explanation. At any time, Dharma is the most essential element for strengthening oneself. Even the great cultivators of various races who traverse the starry river that we will encounter in the future will all be based on this.
With the Star Origin Clock and the Crimson Phoenix Scripture, and with over a hundred techniques for cultivating Star Origin power etched into his mind, Lu Ze has a natural advantage in this regard.
However, there is another saying that has been passed down to this day.
"Before hearing the Way, the difficulty lies in the Dharma; having heard the Way, the difficulty lies in wealth."
Lu Ze's current situation matches exactly that.
He will need money for a long time, both now and in the future.
Now that we've returned to before the opening of the Mist Tower, failing to plan ahead will only amplify our weaknesses in the future.
How could Lu Ze allow such a basic mistake to happen?
Therefore, considering all of the above...
Liang Bo became the key to unlocking the door to wealth, while Qi Yuan became that door...
The lock on top.
