Seeing the happy smile on his wife's face as she held their daughter, Shen Ping suppressed the thought. The most important thing right now was to be with his wife; he could think about having an affair later.
It was afternoon.
Relatives had come to visit, and the hospital room was suddenly crowded.
Shen Ping wasn't comfortable with the bustling atmosphere, so he made an excuse to go for a walk downstairs. As he walked out of the hospital, he bumped into Su Yin.
"Cousin-in-law."
Su Yin's sweet voice rang out as she hurried over to Shen Ping.
He saw she was carrying fruit.
Shen Ping casually asked, "Why are you here? Don't you have classes?"
"School's letting out soon, so there aren't many classes. I was planning to come to the hospital to look after my cousin these past few days, but something came up. Where's my cousin's room, brother-in-law?"
"I'll take you."
While they were in the elevator.
He stood beside Su Yin, and his peripheral vision couldn't help but notice the full curves of her chest. He couldn't help but recall the sight he'd seen in the bathroom, wondering how such a petite frame could grow so large, and what she ate.
Back in the hospital room.
He was once again surrounded by his wife's relatives, who peppered him with questions, mostly about the company and the hot pot restaurant. Their implication was that they wanted him to arrange jobs for some people.
Shen Ping wasn't a stingy man. If his wife or mother-in-law had asked, he wouldn't have refused. But these relatives wanted to arrange for others, and he wasn't running a charity. So, he politely brushed them off with a few pleasantries.
It was finally quiet in the evening.
"Honey, why don't you go back? I'm fine. I'll be discharged in a couple of days. Besides, Mom and Su Yin are here to take care of me."
Li Yuewei saw that Shen Ping was a bit uncomfortable with her relatives. If he stayed, he'd be pestered again tomorrow.
Shen Ping nodded, kissed his wife on the forehead, and left the hospital.
Back at the villa in the residential area.
He changed into his training clothes, received his rewards, and began practicing his blade techniques. After mastering the techniques, his movements became extremely smooth, as if they were an extension of his own arm. Combined with his footwork, it was like a work of art, flowing as smoothly as clouds and water.
He practiced for over an hour without feeling any fatigue.
Late at night.
The moonlight was as cool as water.
Shen Ping sat on the rooftop after finishing his cultivation, gazing at the stars. His heart gradually calmed. In another month, it would be 2051. Counting the time, he had just over nine years until the appearance of the Golden Horned Beast. During this time, he absolutely had to break through to Planet Level, perhaps even Star Level. Only then could he protect himself and his family during the Earth's apocalypse.
Once the effects of the Thousand-Year Willow Heart are completely absorbed, my physical attributes should reach a level of 200,000. Combined with the Ninefold Thunderblade, I can unleash nearly a million units of impact force. At the God of War level, I'd be absolutely invincible. However, breaking through to Planet Level will likely be difficult!
The jump from God of War to Planet Level was a leap in life's genetic structure. This step was a significant hurdle for many Gods of War. Despite his rapid advancement after starting the new chapter for his family, it would take an unknown amount of time if he were to rely on his own strength to break through.
Therefore, he could only rely on external assistance, and the only thing on Earth that could easily help a God of War breakthrough to Planet Level was the Wood Ya Crystal.
Based on the rules of the rewards, the family's prosperity must experience a significant improvement for the rewards to be substantial. Raising the number of offspring can't be done in a short amount of time. I'm left with the family's reputation and family businesses. The easiest route is the latter.
Next, my main focus will be on the operation of Pingwei Materials Company. But I also need to reveal some of my own strength, gradually building up my reputation... The plan to break through to Planet Level within five years, two years have already passed. I must strive to achieve it as soon as possible!
Five days later.
Pingwei Materials Company.
Inside the office.
Manager Yan took out a contract and handed it to Shen Ping.
"Boss, Director Feng, who's in charge of material acquisition, has agreed to our previous requests. This is the contract after the negotiations. I had the company's legal counsel review it, and there are no issues. Please take a look. If you agree, this matter is settled. However, Director Feng wants you to go there in person to sign it."
Manager Yan smiled. "I reckon he wants to get in touch with the God of War behind you."
Any God of War is an object of competition for various forces and financial groups.
After all, there are only a little over three thousand in the world. The God of War Reserve Camp of the Limit Martial Arts School alone has quite a few, and the rest are mostly in the five major powers.
Shen Ping twitched the corners of his mouth. He didn't have any God of War backing him. But there was no need to refuse either, so he could just be perfunctory. Anyway, the Lord Level materials were real.
He scanned the contract.
He nodded and said, "Alright, arrange it. Let me know when we're meeting."
Manager Yan quickly replied, "It's already arranged. This afternoon at three o'clock."
"Okay."
At three o'clock.
Shen Ping, accompanied by Manager Yan, arrived at the director's office in the HR Alliance Mall. Compared to the director at the Extreme Martial Arts Center, this Director Feng certainly knew how to enjoy himself. The office was 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 then stood to the side. "The director will be here shortly. Please, let me know if you need anything."
"Thank you."
Not long after,
Director Feng, a middle-aged man with a slightly plump build, walked in. "Sorry, sorry, for keeping you two waiting."
He sat down on the sofa and instructed his secretary to bring out the good liquor.
"I'll take a drink as a penalty."
With that,
Director Feng downed a glass of wine. Then, he poured a glass for Shen Ping and Manager Yan. He didn't mention the materials contract, instead, he started talking about warriors and monsters. After drinking two or three glasses and the atmosphere became lively, he said with a smile, "General Shen, I've always admired a God of War strong enough to kill a Lord Level monster. I wonder what your relationship is with this God of War."
Shen Ping replied, "It's not really a relationship. We just happened to meet in the wilderness area. Perhaps we had similar personalities, which is why I was able to get the monster materials that the senior God of War hunted."
Director Feng didn't believe this explanation and continued probing under the influence of alcohol. Unfortunately, Shen Ping was tight-lipped and wouldn't reveal the name of the God of War behind the scenes.
Seeing this.
He didn't push it any further, and readily signed his name alongside Shen Ping.
"Pleasure doing business."
The two men shook hands, signifying the deal for a hundred billion in orders each year. Although the actual profit from that hundred billion was less than ten billion, it still excited Shen Ping and Manager Yan. After all, many small amounts add up, and with this hundred billion, the company could continue to expand, and its reputation would gradually spread.
Two Lord Level monsters per year is easy for me. Once this news gets out, I can use this opportunity to reveal some of my strength.
There were many things globally that could enhance physical fitness. Gene potions and dragon blood could be seen online, while others relied on connections. The cooperative relationship with the HR Alliance represented just that – connections.
The end of the month.
As the news spread.
The Wild Wind Squad all called to offer their congratulations.
"Old Shen, not bad! I didn't expect you to be working with the HR Alliance Mall on such a big scale. We'll be back in the base city in a few days, you're buying us a feast then, right? We're going to bleed you dry!"
"Haha, no problem."
