That is… only needing one cent of electricity to run an air conditioner for 24 hours.
After hearing the Boss’s words,
The young man smiled slightly, then explained, “Boss, it indeed only takes one cent, but it’s not for electricity, it’s a direct nuclear energy fuel cost paid to our company.”
“Right, right, I remember now, they’re promoting it everywhere, nuclear… new energy, I heard that in a while, it will replace most household appliances, and even cars…”
Fatty Boss slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing.
At this moment,
A little boy came running and stopped abruptly in front of Fatty Boss.
“Dad, give me a hundred dollars. I want to buy some beef to practice cultivation.”
Upon hearing this,
The Fatty Boss stopped talking to the workers and turned to look at his son, then said with puzzlement:
“Xuan Xuan, didn’t I just give you a hundred yesterday? How did you use it up so quickly?”
“Hmph, I’m going to the Taoist temple to break through to Qi Introduction today. My teacher said that since I’m young, relying solely on absorbing spiritual Qi would affect my growth, so he asked me to eat more beef jerky.” Zhao Xuan gave his dad a glance, looking proud and coquettish.
At the rebellious age of a teenager, with the grasp of ‘supernatural’ powers, his heart was full of pride.
“Alright, alright, take it. I really don’t know what the hell your school is doing, they canceled English class and added this so-called cultivation class.”
Fatty Boss said helplessly.
Nevertheless, he took out a hundred dollars from his pocket and handed it to his son.
As the saying goes, half-grown children will bankrupt their fathers. Ever since his son’s school introduced a cultivation class, his appetite had increased several times, demanding beef from time to time.
“Wait for a couple of days, when the wholesale beef jerky I ordered arrives, you can eat ours instead of benefiting others,” Fatty Boss exhorted.
“Got it, Dad.” Zhao Xuan nodded repeatedly, took the money, and ran away like a gust of wind.
Seeing this scene,
Several air conditioner installers couldn’t help but say, “Boss, your son is really spirited, not like my kid who’s always so dull.”
Upon hearing this,
Fatty Boss proudly said, “Haha, this kid isn’t good at academics, but he indeed has a knack for this.”
At this moment,
The younger air conditioner installer spoke up, “Times have changed, academic performance is no longer the only thing.”
“Yeah, as long as your cultivation rank is high and your talent for cultivation is good, you can get into any university easily. In society, as long as your cultivation rank is high, you can join any top 500 company.”
Another young man said enviously.
In fact,
He often went to the Taoist temple to burn incense and even tried to be a cultivator, but his cultivation talent was too poor. After practicing for a while, he didn’t make any progress. Due to the pressure of life, he gave up the idea of cultivating.
“Hahaha, I appreciate your good wishes…” Fatty Boss laughed heartily.
While Fatty Boss and the air conditioner installers were chatting, his son, Zhao Xuan, fell into a crisis.
In a remote alley,
Several white-haired young men with dyed yellow and white hair, pierced ears, and monster tattoos on their arms… surrounded Zhao Xuan.
“Kid, are you Zhao Xuan?”
“Wha… what do you want to do?” Zhao Xuan shrank his neck, his pupils filled with fear.
After all, he was just a college student, facing these street hooligans and gangsters, he couldn’t help but feel fear from the bottom of his heart.
“I heard from my junior brother that you’ve been harassing my girlfriend at school. Are you asking for death?” The white-haired youth leading the group had a fierce expression on his face.
Then,
He waved his hand at his junior brother behind him.
Understanding, the junior brother immediately took out a machete from his pocket and handed it to the white-haired boss.
For these street hooligans, they would normally carry a few machetes, not to actually use them to attack others, but to intimidate people. After all, in a society governed by the rule of law, if they really used them… they would be in big trouble.
Seeing the machete in the white-haired youth’s hand,
Zhao Xuan was very frightened, and tears gushed out uncontrollably. With a sob, he asked:
“Bi… big brother, I… I didn’t harass your girlfriend. I don’t even know who you are…”
“Humph-”
White-haired snorted coldly, raising the machete in his hand, lightly tapping the opponent’s cheek with the back of the blade, and said coldly:
“Tsk, Zhang Li from your class, is my girlfriend, and you fucking dare to write love letters? Kneel for me… Kneel!”
By the last two words, White-haired had raised his volume, almost roaring it out.
“Woo-”
Zhao Xuan’s heart suddenly jumped, the icy touch of the machete on his cheek left him stupefied, and upon hearing the word “kneel”, his legs instantly went weak and he really kneeled down.
Seeing that.
“Hahaha-”
A number of gangsters burst into hearty laughters, looking at Zhao Xuan who is kneeling on the ground with an upward gaze.
White-haired’s face also gave off smug satisfaction.
He had plenty of experience dealing with these little kids and used to extort protection fees a lot.
However, in the past two years, the crackdown has been more severe. Since he had turned eighteen, he had stopped his reprehensible criminal activities like robbery because they would be imprisoned now.
“Kid, I see you’re a first-time offender, today I will dismember one of your legs, as a small lesson for you. If you do it again, I’ll just kill you!”
White-haired left a threatening message, and once again raised his machete.
This time.
Instead of using the back of the blade, he used the sharp edge, slashing towards Zhao Xuan’s thigh as he knelt on the ground.
Of course…he held back his strength, ensuring to only draw blood but not to the extent of injuring tendons and bones.
White-haired was also very experienced in controlling his ‘strength’; even if caught, it would only leave light injuries.
However.
When Zhao Xuan heard that his leg was going to be amputated and the shiny machete was really slashing towards him,
He instinctively blocked it with his hand.
Clang-
Zhao Xuan was stunned.
White-haired and his gang were also stunned, the guys behind him even more so.
They looked at Zhao Xuan who was kneeling on the ground, wearing short sleeves showing bare arms, with no protection whatsoever, yet he managed to withstand a slash without any injury?
Did he use the back of the knife just now?
White-haired snapped out of it, reconfirmed the machete in his hand, and then slashed at the opponent’s arm again.
Clang-
The blade., was blocked again.
Zhao Xuan stared blankly at the machete on his arm, finally understanding how he managed to block the opponent’s attacks.
It turns out,
In the face of such danger, he subconsciously mobilized the negligible mana in his body and attached it to his arm.
And moreover.
Blocking two slashes only consumed about a tenth of his body’s mana, which means…he could still withstand about twenty slashes from his opponent.
Of course, what he didn’t know was that it only consumed a tenth of the mana because White-haired was afraid of causing severe injuries and hadn’t dared to exert much force.
With that thought in mind.
Zhao Xuan suddenly felt that White-haired wasn’t that scary and the fear in his heart dissipated, instead, a strong anger surged in his heart.
“Fucking hell, you only know how to bully me, so what if I like Zhang Li, today I will kill you.” Zhao Xuan roared angrily, stood up, and rushed over with his fists raised.
“What the fuck-”
White-haired was shocked; he lost his grip on the machete, dropping it on the ground.
Clang…
The metal made a crisp sound as it hit the ground.
White-haired and Zhao Xuan stared at each other for a moment, then both squatted down simultaneously, trying to pick up the machete.
Alas.
Even the worst cultivators, whose bodies were nourished by vital energy, could not be compared to ordinary gangsters.
Zhao Xuan got the knife.
Splat-
White blade in… red blade out!
