Chapter 20 - Such a Strong Reaction

Taihang Mountains.

On a rooftop near the city.

Shen Ping looked at the text displayed in the virtual frame, a smile playing on his lips. After selling intermediate Beast General Level monster materials at the Military Supply Base twice, the news had fermented. As he'd predicted, he was rewarded in terms of family reputation, and it was a small step up.

Receive.

As he silently thought it.

A box containing the Essence of Plants and Trees immediately floated in front of him. At the same time, a large amount of insights and experience regarding swordsmanship flooded his mind, along with the core essence of the Ninefold Thunderblade's seventh level.

He put away the box.

Taking out his binoculars and looking at the roaring Iron-Backed Sword Dragon in the distance, Shen Ping muttered, "I have to hunt a Lord Level monster anyway, so I'll use you to practice my newly acquired blade skill!"

Whoosh.

With a leap, his body flashed, traversing the buildings of the city. Each flash of Shen Ping's body created a massive sonic boom, like the roar of an airplane.

The Iron-Backed Sword Dragon's cold eyes turned. Just as it saw Shen Ping's figure, a blade of light slashed across its body. The seventh level of the Ninefold Thunderblade had a 5.6-fold force burst. Combined with his physical abilities, this single slash exceeded a million kilograms of impact.

Even this massive Lord Level monster couldn't withstand it, its body being pushed back.

ROAR!

The Iron-Backed Sword Dragon roared, its huge and heavy tail sweeping towards Shen Ping. The tail was fast, but unfortunately, facing his mastery of the Conceptual Realm movement technique, it couldn't touch him.

Because he wanted to master his blade skill, Shen Ping wasn't in a hurry to kill this Lord Level monster. Relying on his speed, he engaged in a back-and-forth battle.

He had to admit that fighting a monster was much more effective than practicing in the villa's training hall. In just one morning, he had mastered the blade skill about seventy or eighty percent.

After spending another ten days in the Taihang Mountains, he had completely mastered the rewarded sword technique after consecutively killing four or five high-level Beast General Level monsters.

On the train back to the Base City.

Shen Ping's Black God Suit, disguised as a tactical backpack, was bulging, and the other martial artists nearby were used to it. 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 ones.

I can now be considered an Invincible War God, but revealing my strength still has to be done step by step. I can't rush.

Exiting the train.

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

The employee, Xiao Jiang, did an inventory and reported, "Boss, the value of these materials is around 4.5 billion Chinese Yuan. In addition, the company has acquired over 1 billion worth of monster materials this month, bringing the total value of all materials in the warehouse to 5.5 billion Chinese Yuan."

Shen Ping was surprised. "There's a big order?"

Xiao Jiang hurriedly said, "It's the two new managers. Each of them bought about three hundred million worth of materials. The rest was purchased by Manager Yan and the company's employees."

Hearing this.

Shen Ping's face showed satisfaction. "Not bad. Now that the company's reputation is out there, we'll get more orders like this in the future."

Previously, if Pingwei Materials Company could acquire tens of millions worth of monster materials in a month, it was considered good performance. Now, the transaction volume was in the hundreds of millions. Although the profit wasn't actually much, this undoubtedly showed that the company was developing.

Back in the office.

His wife, Li Yuewei, and Secretary Lin weren't there. The manager said that there was a problem with a batch of weapons, and they had gone to handle it.

He made a call and found out there wasn't a major issue, which put his mind at ease.

"According to previous estimations, if the company's annual profit reaches ten billion, there might be a significant family reward. As of this year, including this harvest, the total profit has reached five billion Chinese Yuan. Another five billion might get us an industry reward."

He looked at the accounts on the laptop on his desk.

Shen Ping started to think. He planned to stay home for three months before heading to the Wilderness Area. He could then complete a profit of fifty billion in materials in one trip.

In fact, as an Invincible War God, earning over a hundred billion annually was considered a small amount. A single high-level Lord Level monster was worth nearly a hundred billion. Hunting two in a year would earn more than a hundred billion. If one reached the Senator level, they would earn even more. However, at the Senator level, they generally didn't care about money anymore. They pursued treasures like the Essence of Plants and Trees and Wood Bud Crystals.

It was past eight in the evening.

Shen Ping and Li Yuewei finally finished work.

After showering in their villa, the two of them lay down on the bed.

They had been holding back for a month.

Like dry wood and a raging fire, they ignited at the slightest touch. Having been married for three years, they were already intimately familiar with each other's bodies and dove right in after the sparks flew.

After the workout.

Li Yuewei brought up the main topic, "Honey, recently some investment companies have approached us, wanting to inject capital to help the company grow rapidly. Should we consider it?"

"Investment companies?"

Shen Ping was taken aback. In the initial period after the Great Nirvana, the situation was unstable, and daily life was under military control. However, with the establishment of the Extreme Martial Arts School and the Thunder Martial Arts School, and the five major powers gradually stabilizing the situation, the domestic economic environment began to recover. The fastest development was in weapons, materials, and other areas. Investment companies had only become active again in the last three or four years.

It was also normal that they would be interested in Pingwei Materials Company.

"The company is just expanding, and we don't lack funds at the moment. Let's not engage with them for now, and we'll talk about it later."

He pondered for a moment and replied.

Li Yuewei nodded and continued, "There's another thing. A few days ago, the Zheng Family sent someone over, saying they wanted to meet you."

After saying this, she looked worried. "The Zheng Family is a major financial group in the Central China Base City, with a deep foundation. They are involved in nearly one-fifth of the various industries in the Base City. This meeting, could it be that they want to acquire our company?"

Shen Ping chuckled. "Don't worry, the Zheng Family wouldn't dare to have such a big appetite. I'll have Secretary Lin go over tomorrow and arrange a meeting. I'll meet with the Zheng Family. They probably want to rope us in."

Pingwei Materials Company's development had been rapid, especially after partnering with the HR Alliance. It had caught the attention of several powers within the Base City. The Zheng Family's request for a meeting wasn't unexpected. Of course, their primary goal was him, and the intermediate War God backing him.

As for the company's profits, honestly, the Zheng Family wouldn't be interested.

The matter was settled.

Li Yuewei, nestled in Shen Ping's arms, started to get restless, her hand reaching under the covers. She wriggled around and said, "In May, Xiao Yin's school will be on holiday. Honey, do you think we should let her come and stay for a while? Last year, when she was here, I saw that you were quite uncomfortable."

Shen Ping's blood began to boil.

He turned over and said, "You decide, dear. I don't mind either way."

Li Yuewei's tongue flicked across her lips as she stared at Shen Ping with a smile. "They say a man's words are just lies, honey. You probably can't wait for Xiao Yin to come over, right? The moment I mentioned her, your reaction was so strong... Ah, look, it's so strong."

Soon.

His wife couldn't even speak anymore.

Only the most primal sounds echoed in the master bedroom.
