Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 20's reaction was so strong

Taihang Mountains.

On a rooftop in the nearby city.

Shen Ping looked at the text displayed in the virtual box and a smile appeared on his lips. He had gone to the military supply base twice to sell materials of medium-level beast general-level monsters. As the news spread, he had indeed won a reward in terms of family reputation, just as he had predicted, and it was even a small step.

Receive.

As you silently recite in your heart.

A box containing the spirits of plants and trees immediately floated before his eyes, and at the same time, his mind was filled with a large amount of sword technique insights and experience, as well as the essence of the seventh level of the Ninefold Thunder Blade.

Put the box away.

He took out his binoculars and looked at the roaring Ironback Stegosaurus in the distance, muttering, "Since I'm going to hunt lord-level monsters anyway, I'll use you to practice my newly acquired swordsmanship!"

call out.

With a leap, he darted between the city buildings, and with each flash, a loud roar like that of an airplane echoed through the air—a sonic boom from supersonic speed.

Ironback Sword Dragon's cold eyes turned, and just as it saw Shen Ping's figure, the blade light slashed at its body. The seventh level of the Nine-fold Thunder Blade had a force explosion of 5.6 times. Combined with its physical attributes, this strike had an impact force exceeding one million kilograms.

Even the massive lord-level monster couldn't withstand it, its body being shaken backward.

Roar!

The Ironback Sword Dragon roared, its huge and heavy tail sweeping fiercely towards Shen Ping. The tail was very fast, but unfortunately, it couldn't touch Shen Ping at all when facing a movement technique at the peak of the Intent level.

Because he needed to practice his swordsmanship, Shen Ping wasn't in a hurry to kill this lord-level beast. Instead, he relied on his speed and agility to fight it back and forth.

It has to be said that fighting monsters is much more efficient than simply training in the villa's martial arts hall to become familiar with swordsmanship. In just one morning, he had mastered about 70-80% of it.

After spending another ten days in the Taihang Mountains, where he killed four or five high-level beast general-level monsters, he had completely mastered the sword technique he was rewarded with.

On the train back to the base city.

Shen Ping's Black God Suit disguised his combat backpack as a bulge, which the other martial artists around him were not surprised by. Although the military supply base could also process monster materials, most martial artists would return to the base city to sell some of the more valuable materials.

"I can now be called an invincible war god, but I still have to reveal my strength step by step and not rush it."

Get off the train.

He went straight to the company and put the monster materials in the rented warehouse.

Employee Xiao Jiang took stock and reported to his supervisor: "Boss, the value of the materials this time is around 45 billion RMB. In addition, the company has acquired monster materials worth over 10 billion RMB in the past month. The total value of all materials in the warehouse is now 55 billion RMB."

Shen Ping was surprised: "A big order?"

Xiao Jiang hurriedly replied, "It was the two new managers who each purchased about 300 million worth of materials. The rest was purchased by Manager Yan and other employees of the company."

Hear this.

Shen Ping's face showed satisfaction. "Not bad. The company's reputation has been established, and we'll get more and more orders like this in the future."

Previously, Pingwei Materials Company was considered to have good performance if it acquired monster materials worth tens of millions a month. Now, it has a transaction volume of over 100 million. Although the actual profit is not much, this undoubtedly shows that the company has developed.

After returning to the office.

My wife, Li Yuewei, and Secretary Lin were both away. I heard from the manager that there was a problem with a batch of weapons, and they went to deal with it.

He called to ask and found out there was nothing seriously wrong, which put his mind at ease.

"Based on previous speculation, when the company's annual profit reaches 10 billion, there may be a significant increase in family rewards. So far this year, including this harvest, the total profit has reached 5 billion RMB. Another 5 billion might be enough for an industry reward."

Looking at the accounts on the laptop on my desk.

Shen Ping pondered for a moment. He planned to stay at home for three months before heading to the wilderness area, where he would make a profit of 5 billion yuan from materials in one trip.

In fact, as an invincible war god, earning tens of billions every year is not much. A high-level lord-level monster is worth nearly tens of billions. Hunting two a year would earn more than tens of billions. If it is a councilor-level monster, the earnings would be even more. However, at the councilor level, they basically don't care about money anymore. What they pursue are natural treasures such as plant spirits and wood crystals.

It was a little after 8 p.m.

Shen Ping and Li Yuewei had just finished get off work.

After taking a shower back at the villa, the two of them lay down on the bed.

I held it in for a month.

Like dry tinder ready to ignite, and having been married for three years, they were already intimately familiar with each other's bodies. After sparks flew, they plunged into each other's arms.

Finished exercising.

Li Yuewei got down to business, "Honey, an investment company recently approached us, wanting to invest some money to help the company grow rapidly. Should we get in touch?"

"An investment company?"

Shen Ping was taken aback. In the early days of the Great Nirvana, the situation was unstable and daily life was under military control. However, with the opening of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy and the Thunder Martial Arts Academy, and the gradual stabilization of the situation by the five major powers, the domestic economic environment began to recover. The fastest-growing sectors were weapons and materials, while investment companies have become active again in the last three or four years.

It's quite normal that they've set their sights on Pingwei Materials Company.

"The company is currently expanding and is not short of funds, so there's no need to make contact now; we can discuss it later."

He hesitated for a moment before replying.

Li Yuewei nodded and continued, "There's something else. A few days ago, the Zheng family sent someone over, saying they wanted to see you."

After saying that, she said worriedly, "The Zheng family is a large conglomerate in Huazhong Base City with a deep foundation. They are involved in nearly one-fifth of the various industries in the base city. Could this meeting be because they want to acquire our company?"

Shen Ping chuckled, "Don't worry, the Zheng family wouldn't dare to be so greedy. I'll have Secretary Lin go and ask them tomorrow, and we'll arrange a time for me to meet with them. I guess they're trying to win us over."

Pingwei Materials Company is developing rapidly, especially after cooperating with the HR Alliance, which has brought it into the sights of many forces in the base city. It is not surprising that the Zheng family invited them to meet, although their main purpose was to find the mid-level War God behind him.

To be honest, the Zheng family doesn't care much about the company's profits.

The matter was settled.

Nestled in Shen Ping's arms, Li Yuewei's hands slipped under the covers and began to wander. As she moved around, she said, "Xiaoyin's school will be out for summer vacation in May. Honey, do you think we should let her come and stay for a while? Last year when she was at home, I could tell you were quite uncomfortable."

Shen Ping's anger gradually rose.

He turned over and said, "Wife, it's up to you. I don't care."

Li Yuewei slid her tongue across her lips, staring at Shen Ping with a smile, and said, "They say a man's mouth is a liar's mouth. Husband, you probably wish Xiaoyin would come over, right? Just now when I mentioned her, you reacted so strongly... Ah, look, so strong."

soon.

His wife was speechless.

Only the most primal sounds echoed throughout the master bedroom.
