Chapter 44 Void Spirit Root
Chapter 44 Void Spirit Root
noon.
Beyond the university, it's still the same café where we had our last family conversation. The wooden furnishings are paired with wrought iron elements, creating a retro decor style.
Because Wang Qing had already defaulted on payments and his credit score was damaged, he tried to use the same platform again, but the credit limit was reduced, and he only managed to get 250,000 yuan in total.
Why... do all the loan dates on all platforms show today?
Wang Meng personally examined his broken-screen LingPhone phone and discovered a vulnerability.
"This is a little trick to boost your credit limit and restore your credit score. I borrowed money from a classmate to tide me over, paid it all back, and then used the money to pay my classmate back. This makes the lender's backend data think that at least my social circle is capable of repaying the debt."
In Wang Meng's mind, she had no source of income, and if she was going to put on an act, she had to go all the way.
"Didn't I tell you I'd pay the money back today?"
"I forgot, I've been very busy with studies these past few days."
"Um……"
Wang Meng stared intently at Wang Qing for several seconds, trying to find a flaw, but he just maintained a polite smile. Something about him was off, but it was strangely unsettling, like something out of a horror movie. He adopted the demeanor of a guardian, his face stern, and said, "Alright, I'll transfer the money to you now, a total of 256,000. After you pay it back, uninstall all the apps immediately!"
When the debt collection calls came to Wang Meng, she felt like the sky was falling!
The parents worked diligently their whole lives, and the eldest brother, Wang Jin, serves as a cautionary tale, bringing lasting pain and trauma to this family.
Unable to withstand any more setbacks, her parents, who were also on labor dispatch jobs at other levels, lived a high-pressure life like a military camp or prison, barely managing to afford the school fees for her two siblings. Fortunately, she went to university and was able to earn some money by working part-time while studying.
Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
It involves bank card transfer, so no confirmation is required. As Wang Meng said, I will uninstall the app immediately after repaying all the money on all platforms.
Wang Meng finally felt relieved. She slumped onto the coffee table, completely exhausted. Her light blonde hair, dyed from her part-time modeling job, was scattered on the table.
Wang Qing only got one cup of coffee; they have to be frugal these days, and this large sum of money was borrowed from a classmate.
"Where did you get the money? I'm so worried about you, sis."
Wang Qing sipped his coffee and chatted casually.
In the original owner's memories, her parents sent back 60,000 yuan every quarter, which was 20,000 yuan a month.
Wang Meng applied for an exorbitantly expensive student loan while studying at Gray University, which will likely take decades to repay. Wang Qing has also already paid off his college tuition, making it a desperate gamble that has emptied his family's savings, leaving him with no ability to withstand risks.
He only respects the strong.
The original owner had been recognized by the Demon Lord. Logically speaking, the demonic path in this place was like an underground party, with liaisons and matchmakers, a kind of retro spy drama. However, the original owner was self-taught and could match the codes on the dark web.
It's this [strong Emoji]
Wang Meng looked up and saw him carelessly chewing on the straw, and she was furious. "How else could I have earned it? I earned it by working in the sex industry!"
"Oh, this..."
Wang Qing was greatly shocked. Wang Meng's part-time job was already quite suspicious, and it was still unknown whether it was a joke.
"I borrowed it from my classmate, but don't feel pressured. Although the college entrance exam doesn't emphasize cultivation level, the comprehensive cultivation test, which accounts for 200 points, is a practical test with mechanical puppets. Anyone who isn't at the mid-stage of Qi Refining simply can't survive it. The puppets will get stronger and stronger within a minute, and a cultivation level of three is not enough to withstand it. You have to last at least a minute."
Wang Meng, having been through it all, knew exactly how monstrous those damned mechanical dolls were.
"Is she the kind of classmate I'm thinking of?"
Wang Qing asked.
"What are you thinking? It's my best friend."
Wang Meng said irritably.
Because teenagers are often rebellious, those who take out loans behind their family's backs are likely to have strong self-esteem, be unwilling to accept criticism, and be burdened with negative energy. They worry that money issues will cause unnecessary rifts and disputes between family members. To help Wang Meng get through this difficult time, Qin Fei stayed by her side.
However, Qin Fei didn't want to show her face, so she didn't go into the coffee shop. Instead, she sat across the street smoking cigarettes as she waited.
Wang Qing remained skeptical, trying to allay his younger brother's concerns.
"He's standing right outside, the one in the leather jacket."
Wang Meng waved to Qin Fei, beckoning her to come in, but Qin Fei was lost in thought and didn't notice.
Following Wang Meng's gaze, I looked over there.
Wang Qing's forehead creased with annoyance: "..."
He's a heavy internet surfer, so typical of this woman: mullet, earrings, deliberately thickened eyebrows with sharper lines to make her look slightly masculine. Wow, she's got striking features, quite tall, wearing a leather jacket, a high-necked thin knit top, and wide-leg jeans. She looks like she knows how to handle a fire.
"How about it? Pretty cool, right?"
Wang Meng seemed to be seeking Wang Qing's opinion, but Qin Fei, preoccupied with her own thoughts, could only send her a message inviting her in.
Be careful... don't fall for a scam.
Wang Qing had lived for nine hundred years; what kind of battle hadn't he seen?
Qin Fei received the message and thought that the matter had been resolved, which was good. Wang Meng was a soft-hearted person and sometimes couldn't bring herself to do it. She still needed to be lectured about taking out a loan behind her family's back. Wang Meng's matter was also her own matter.
Until Qin Fei sat down next to the two of them.
Wang Qing always maintained a stern demeanor. "Girl, over 200,000 yuan sounds easy, but it's not a small amount in mainstream society. Even though my crappy low-rent apartment is crappy, it's still a place, and I can rent it for 20 years. Most classmates wouldn't lend it to me."
"This is my younger brother, Wang Qing. Isn't he cute?" Seeing Wang Qing's poker face, "Well... not really cute. He was so cute when he was little."
Wang Meng frowned. The child is getting older and harder to manage.
This amused Wang Qing greatly. He sighed, "It's like a fleeting moment, a spark in a stone, a dream within a dream. I never imagined that one day I would be dominated by an older single woman."
For the original identities they wanted to maintain, these two were indeed older single women, which was quite frightening.
"I am your sister's classmate, Qin Fei."
Qin Fei took the initiative to extend her hand and examined Wang Qing. There was no wound on his face, which was good. What she was most worried about was that something even more terrible than online loans would happen, like 714 getting involved with gangs again. There were far too many people in Cangzhou who had fallen into the abyss like this.
Wang Qing ignored her.
His cultivation level is quite high, at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
This is the most outstanding student Wang Qing has ever encountered so far. Since they are classmates, they must be in their second year of university. Even in the old cultivation world, people like this are rare. Twenty years old? They have already crossed the threshold of becoming geniuses.
"Wang Qing, be polite."
Wang Meng spoke with a stern face.
Being dominated by an older single woman, Wang Qing could only shake her hand.
Ok?
Wang Qing discovered an unusual phenomenon in the makeshift hospital a long time ago: the people here did not have the concept of innate Dao bodies, but only the concept of spiritual roots.
Spiritual roots are naturally very useful, but from a modern perspective, they only increase the speed of leveling up and don't significantly increase combat power at the same level.
In battle, those with an innate Daoist body have a significantly higher physical constitution than others, in addition to their cultivation level, methods, talismans, and magical treasures.
Without divine consciousness, it is difficult to determine a special constitution, unless one has mastered the art of creation.
Wang Qing's achievements were clearly extraordinary.
Although this woman does not have a special physique, she has surpassed the aptitude rating range of the Heavenly Court. She is an extremely rare person with no attribute spiritual root, also known as an empty spiritual root. She can exert the effects of a heavenly spiritual root on all spiritual elements within the five elements.
This kind of spiritual root is extremely difficult to detect. Even experts who are proficient in this field can make mistakes and are often hastily judged as having a heavenly spiritual root, but they cannot hide it from Wang Qing.
There are too many mysteries inside the makeshift hospital. Is it because it is extremely difficult to detect and the judgment factors are extremely stringent that it escaped disaster?
A ding sound.
[Wei Feng from Mercury Group: Bro, where are you? I'll come pick you up.]
"I have something urgent to attend to, I have to go now."
Just then, Wang Qing didn't want to be dominated by older single women, so this "firefighter" was definitely there to play the bad cop and give a lecture.
"That brat!"
Wang Meng stood up, wanting to lash out. How rude!
"Since it's urgent, go ahead and take care of it. But I need to leave you my contact information so I can keep an eye on you and make sure you don't go down the wrong path."
Qin Fei sensed from his elder's tone that Wang Qing was not a good student, and more than that, he exuded an extremely dangerous aura.
She has a very strong intuition, and this instinctive sense of danger is almost exaggerated.
"Alright."
Wang Qing also wanted to explore the mystery of the makeshift hospital. Was it really a case of oversight, or was Qin Fei the answer to this mystery? A classmate being able to lend out more than 200,000 yuan was no ordinary act.
I added a Fetion contact.
"Aren't you going to say thank you?"
Wang Meng explained that this was borrowed from Qin Fei, and that it was impossible to get past this hurdle without it.
"Thanks."
"Who should I thank?"
"Thank you, Qin Fei."
Wang Qing spoke in a very serious tone.
Wang Meng was almost laughing in exasperation. "Call me 'sister'!"
"Let him be. If he has something to do, he should go quickly."
Qin Fei didn't care; she was only concerned about Wang Meng.
Wang Qing also disappeared in a flash.
"They've really grown up..."
Wang Meng was completely speechless. His parents were also working on the other side of the building and wouldn't come back for the New Year. He was the only relative left on the 21st floor. He wanted all the other relatives to get as far away as possible.
"Why didn't you order a drink?"
Seeing this, Qin Fei quickly scanned the QR code on the table and ordered two coffees online.
"Don't order anymore. I've already borrowed so much from you, don't spend any more money."
Wang wanted to stop her, but she had already placed the order.
"What happened to your hand?"
Qin Fei held Wang Meng's hand in her arms. Her manicure was slightly scratched, but she naturally didn't want to spend the money on it. She had it done that morning when she was taking photos with the modeling agency.
"It's nothing..."
Wang Meng didn't want to answer, for an embarrassing reason: she was afraid of making Qin Fei laugh at her.
But Qin Fei had a rough idea. When she added Wang Qingfei on WeChat, she found that his phone screen was cracked, probably from a minor scratch.
Wang Qing's attitude towards me was rather unfriendly. Was my first impression really that bad? It didn't look good in the long run. I might as well buy him a new phone.
At that moment, Wang Meng's phone received a message.
[DOKIX3: Beware of neodymium copper.]
"That brat!"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing much."
Wang Meng quickly turned off her phone screen so Qin Fei wouldn't see it.
