Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 18 Happy Cooperation

Seeing the happy smile on his wife's face as she hugged their daughter, Shen Ping quickly suppressed the thought. The most important thing now was to spend time with his wife; he could consider having a mistress later.

It was afternoon.

Relatives from the family all came to visit, and the ward suddenly became crowded.

Shen Ping wasn't comfortable in such a lively setting, so he made an excuse to go downstairs for a walk. He ran into Su Yin as soon as he stepped out of the hospital building.

"Brother-in-law."

Su Yin's sweet voice rang out as she quickly walked up to Shen Ping.

I noticed she was carrying fruit.

Shen Ping casually asked, "What brings you here? Don't you have classes at school?"

"School is about to let out for break, and there are very few classes. I was planning to come to the hospital to keep my cousin company these past few days, but something came up and I couldn't make it. Cousin-in-law, where is my cousin's room?"

"I'll take you there."

When taking the elevator.

He stood beside Su Yin, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the rounded outline of her chest. He couldn't help but recall the scene he had seen in the bathroom that time. How could such a small body grow so big? He wondered what she ate all the time.

Back in the ward.

He was then pulled aside by his wife's relatives, who asked him all sorts of questions, mostly about the company and the hot pot restaurant, implying that they wanted him to arrange for a few people to help.

Shen Ping wasn't a stingy person. If his wife or mother-in-law had asked, he wouldn't have refused. But these relatives wanted to arrange things for other people, and he wasn't doing charity work, so he naturally brushed them off with a few polite words.

It finally got a bit quieter at night.

"Honey, why don't you go back? I'm fine, I can be discharged after two or three days of rest. Besides, my mom and Xiaoyin can take care of me."

Li Yuewei could tell that Shen Ping was a little uncomfortable because of his relatives. If he stayed here, he would inevitably be bothered again tomorrow.

Shen Ping nodded, kissed his wife on the forehead, and left the hospital.

Back at the villa in the community.

After changing into his training clothes and receiving his reward, he began practicing his swordsmanship. Once he mastered the swordsmanship, his sword-wielding movements became extremely fluid, as if they were his own arms. Moreover, when combined with his body movements, they flowed like a work of art.

He practiced for more than an hour, and his body did not feel tired at all.

late at night.

The moonlight was cool and refreshing.

After finishing his cultivation, Shen Ping sat on the rooftop, gazing at the stars. His heart gradually calmed down. In another month, it would be 2051. Calculating the time, there were still more than nine years left until the appearance of the Golden Horned Beast. During this period, he had to break through to the Planetary level, or even the Constant level. Only in this way could he protect himself and his family during the time of Earth's apocalypse.

"Once I've fully absorbed the medicinal effects of the thousand-year-old willow heartwood, my physical attributes should reach a level of 200,000. Combined with the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade, I can unleash an impact force of nearly one million. At the War God level, that's absolutely invincible. However, breaking through to the Planetary level will probably be very difficult!"

The leap from War God to Planetary level is a leap in life genes. This step is a significant hurdle for many War Gods. Although they may improve rapidly after opening a new chapter in their family's history, it would take them a very long time to break through on their own.

Therefore, they can only rely on external objects, and the only thing on Earth that allows the God of War to easily break through to the planetary level is Muya Crystal.

"According to the rules of rewarding, a family must take a big step forward to become prosperous before the reward will be generous. Nowadays, it is impossible to achieve this in a short period of time. The only remaining directions are family reputation and family business. The easiest is still the business."

"From now on, we'll focus our main efforts on running Pingwei Materials Company. However, we also need to reveal some of our strengths and gradually build our reputation... We've already completed two years of our five-year plan to reach planetary-level status, so let's strive to achieve that goal as soon as possible!"

……

Five days later.

Pingwei Materials Company.

Inside the office.

Manager Yan took out the contract and handed it to Shen Ping.

"Boss, Manager Feng, who is in charge of material procurement, has agreed to our previous request. This is the contract after negotiation. I had the company's legal counsel review it. There are no problems with the contract. Please take a look. If you agree, the matter is settled. However, Manager Feng would like you to come over and sign it in person."

Manager Yan smiled and said, "I guess he wants to get in touch with the war god behind you."

Any war god is someone that various forces and conglomerates strive to befriend.

After all, there are only over three thousand in the world, and among them, there are quite a few War God training camps of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy alone, and most of the rest are in the five major powers.

Shen Ping twitched the corner of his mouth. He didn't have any war god behind him, but he didn't need to refuse. He could just give a few perfunctory words when the time came. Anyway, the lord-level materials were real.

I scanned through the contract.

He nodded and said, "Okay, you can make the arrangements and see when we can meet."

Manager Yan hurriedly replied, "It's already arranged, 3 PM today."

"it is good."

It was three o'clock.

Shen Ping led Manager Yan to the director's office at the HR Alliance Mall. Compared to the director of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, this Director Feng knew how to enjoy life; his office was even more luxurious than the top suite in a five-star hotel.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Yan, please have a seat."

The office secretary poured them each a cup of tea and waited to the side. "The supervisor will be here soon. If you need anything, just let me know."

"Thanks."

It didn't take long.

Manager Feng, a middle-aged man with a slightly overweight build, walked in. "Sorry to keep you both waiting."

He sat on the sofa and instructed his secretary to bring out the fine wine.

"I'll punish myself with a drink."

talking.

Manager Feng drank a glass of wine, then poured a glass for Shen Ping and Manager Yan. He didn't mention the materials contract, but instead talked about martial artists and monsters. After drinking two or three glasses and the atmosphere became lively, he smiled and said, "President Shen, I have always admired those who can kill War God level experts. I wonder what your relationship is with this War God?"

Shen Ping replied, "We can't really call it a relationship. We just happened to meet in the wilderness. Maybe we're compatible, which is how we were able to get the monster materials that the War God senior hunted."

Manager Feng didn't believe this explanation and continued to probe under the influence of alcohol. Unfortunately, Shen Ping kept his mouth shut and never revealed the name of the war god behind him.

See here.

He didn't insist any further and readily signed his name with Shen Ping.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

The two shook hands, signifying the completion of orders worth tens of billions annually. Although the actual profit from these tens of billions was less than one billion, it still excited Shen Ping and Manager Yan. After all, small gains add up, and with these tens of billions, the company could continue to expand, and its reputation would gradually spread.

"Two Lord-level monsters a year is easy for me. Once this news gets out, I can take this opportunity to reveal some of my strength."

There are many things around the world that can improve physical fitness. Gene drugs and dragon blood can be found online. Others rely on connections, and the HR Alliance's partnerships represent connections.

end of the month.

As the news spread.

The Gale Squad called to congratulate them.

"Old Shen, impressive! I never expected you to have such a big partnership with the HR Alliance Mall, all without saying a word. We're going back to the base city in a few days, you'll have to treat us to a big meal!"

"Haha, no problem."
