Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 13 Distant Cousin

Shen Ping immediately sat up straight, his eyes fixed on the virtual frame.

Black God Set!

This is a much better item than the SS-level combat suit in terms of defense. Once a War God-level warrior wears it, an ordinary councilor level warrior simply cannot kill him.

He had originally planned to buy a good quality combat suit when he came back, but he didn't expect to receive the Black God Set as a reward. It was a wonderful surprise.

More importantly, Pingwei Materials Company's profits soared, and it was even able to receive industry-specific rewards, which shows that there is more than one way to develop an industry than just expansion.

"Previously, the company's annual profit was only around ten million. Since taking over the sale of weapons from the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, the operating profit has increased, but only by thirty to forty million. This time, after hunting down four high-level beast generals, the profit has soared to the level of two billion..."

Notice the change in the font of the virtual box.

He vaguely grasped something: only when the family prospers will there be rewards, and the rewards will be generous for even a small step towards prosperity, and now for a giant leap. If it is just ordinary prosperity, then the rewards will be very low.

"If that's the case, then the profits from the industry next time will probably exceed 10 billion. In addition, the number of people and offspring, reputation, etc. should also be significantly improved compared to before, in order to have a chance to receive a generous reward."

Shen Ping fell into deep thought.

The family virtual frame is his golden finger; only by fully exploring and utilizing it can he progress more steadily and quickly.

dong dong.

At that moment, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Come in."

He shouted.

Manager Yan walked in, sat down, and said with a smile, "Boss, I have a suggestion regarding the handling of these four high-level beast general-grade materials."

Shen Ping looked up and said, "What suggestion do you have? Speak up."

Manager Yan straightened his tie and said, "Currently, all major forces have a huge demand for high-grade monster materials. Our company is newly established and has a low profile. Most of our connections are made through you, Boss, so our business is just average. If we can use the materials from these four monsters to build some relationships, such as with the weapons manufacturing department of the HR Alliance or the military's procurement department, it will greatly benefit our company's future development."

Shen Ping tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "You mean, proactively lower the price or simply sacrifice one or two customers to cultivate relationships?"

Manager Yan hurriedly replied, "Yes, it doesn't require such a big sacrifice. When I worked at the HR Alliance Mall, I had dealings with the weapons manufacturing department and the military. The value of just half a monster's materials is enough to get things done."

"The important thing is that we can use this to showcase the company's capabilities. Even if we may not be able to obtain such material lists again in the future, we can still promote ourselves and attract more martial artists to sell or buy weapons."

Shen Ping pondered.

For the past year or so, the company has only been operating on a small scale. Before the Lunar New Year, thanks to the team leader's connections, we were able to establish a cooperative relationship with the Huazhong Base City Extreme Martial Arts Hall, which put the company on the right track. If, as the manager said, we can really open up channels, then the company's development will accelerate.

Are you confident?

"Sixty percent."

Hear this.

Shen Ping made a decision, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Also, you can tell them that the company can continue to receive material lists for high-level beast generals."

Manager Yan's face lit up with joy. "Really?"

Shen Ping remained silent.

Manager Yan understood and immediately exclaimed excitedly, "If that's the case, then I have an 80% chance!"

We chatted for a few more minutes.

After Manager Yan left.

A smile appeared on Shen Ping's lips. With his current strength, hunting high-level beast generals would be easy. However, the company could not rely on him alone. Only by forming a virtuous cycle could it eventually develop and catch up with those conglomerates and families.

……

"Honey, I'm home."

When he returned to the base city this time, Li Yuewei did not pick him up at the train station, mainly because she had something to take care of.

Splash!

I heard the sound of water running in the bathroom.

Shen Ping went upstairs to change his clothes. Seeing that his father-in-law and mother-in-law weren't home, and the children weren't there either, he tiptoed to the bathroom door, then suddenly pushed it open. "Hehe, wife, I..."

Just as I was about to pounce.

Then I heard a scream.

He was completely dumbfounded, standing there frozen in place. In front of him was not his wife, but a pale, unfamiliar body.

"Quick, get out of here!"

I came to my senses.

Shen Ping hurriedly ran out, closed the bathroom door again, and apologized embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I... I didn't know there was someone else in the bathroom. I thought it was my wife."

There was no sound from the bathroom.

He then said, "You, you're my wife's distant cousin, right?"

"Yes, it's me."

"I'm so sorry, please continue washing. By the way, where's your cousin?"

"My cousin went to buy groceries, she'll be back soon."

We exchanged a few awkward words.

Shen Ping scratched his head and went upstairs to the martial arts hall. After practicing his swordsmanship for a while, his embarrassment subsided a bit. He opened the virtual window and silently recited "receive".

Soon, a black vest appeared in front of them, along with two bundles of grass and wood hearts.

"Black God Set"

Looking at the black vest, anticipation appeared in his eyes. The form of the Black God Suit is not fixed. Some are gloves, and some are vests. The way to use it is to wear it on the body. The Black God Suit will automatically absorb blood and become part of the skin. When attacked, it can instantly spread all over the body to form a defense.

The two herbs are a thousand-year-old willow heart and a hundred-dew grass. The thousand-year-old willow heart can greatly improve a martial artist's physical fitness in a short period of time, while the hundred-dew grass is mainly used to treat injuries. If Shen Ping takes it now, his severed arm can grow back quickly.

"I still have remnants of the spirit of plants and trees in my body, so there's no rush to use them. As for the Hundred Dew Grass, I can use it later when I can reveal my strength. I'll use the Black God Set first."

While pondering.

He changed into a black vest, and soon felt pain on his skin. This was the Black God Suit drawing blood from him. The process was not intense and it only took a short while before it was absorbed into his skin.

"With this Black God Set, I no longer need to be timid when hunting Lord-level monsters!"

With the combined power of a high-level War God and the Black God Set, Shen Ping was virtually invincible at the level of a councilor. Even when facing councilors who surpassed the War God level, Shen Ping was not afraid. It could be said that at this moment, he had already joined the ranks of the world's strongest.

Go downstairs.

My wife and her parents came back from grocery shopping.

The distant cousin had also finished showering and was sitting on the sofa watching TV. When she saw Shen Ping come down, her youthful and beautiful face couldn't help but turn red.

"Honey, this is my distant cousin, Su Yin, whom I told you about before. She has a good talent for music and just got into Huazhong Academy of Arts last year. We've asked her several times, and she finally agreed to come to our house."

Li Yuewei said with a smile.

Su Yin hurriedly explained, "Cousin, I had a lot of classes and part-time jobs before, so I really didn't have time. I just started my vacation and came here to visit you."

Li Yuewei handed Su Yin an apple. "What kind of part-time job are you looking for? Art students are in high demand now, before their big rebirth. From now on, you can work at your cousin-in-law's company."

Shen Ping casually remarked, "Celebrities make money too; maybe Xiao Yin can become a celebrity."
