192: Chapter 192 Tonight, Chrysanthemums Will Take Your Surname!

Ye Xiao was completely stunned.

He looked down at the crystal core still sparking with arcs of electricity at his feet.

In that moment, he understood.

He completely understood!

This was a compliance test!

Was his thick-browed, big-eyed appearance really that tempting?!

"If you perform well, there will be a reward"?

Brother Ming was too wicked!

To think he would use this method to hint at me!

First, he let me see him relieving his loneliness, then he threw over a priceless Tier 6 Peak crystal core, and even deliberately let me fail to catch it, letting it fall to the ground...

Isn't this the legendary... picking up the soap?!

Ye Xiao's breathing grew rapid.

He had originally only wanted to siphon off some of the energy leaking from the crystal core to impact the threshold of Tier 4 Gold.

But what lay before him now was a complete, intact, Tier 6 Peak Thunder Beast crystal core!

If this thing were released, let alone Tier 4 or Tier 5, even Tier 6 Awakened with Thunder Affinity would fight tooth and nail for it!

It was enough to make all Bottlenecks for a Thunder Affinity talent before Tier 6 non-existent!

Using this to test a straight man, which straight man could withstand such a test?!

What to do?

Pick it up, or not?

Ye Xiao's heart was struggling frantically, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

If he picked it up, he might lose something precious tonight.

If he didn't, he would seem ungrateful, wasting his big brother's "good intentions," and how would he hug this thigh in the future?

"Go for it!"

After struggling in his mind for three seconds, Ye Xiao made a decision that defied his ancestors.

Isn't it just a chrysanthemum!

It's yours!

Don't ask why.

If you have to ask, it's because the payoff is just too great!

Ye Xiao slowly turned around, his back to Su Ming.

He had no idea what pose to strike, relying entirely on a reckless, death-defying drive to hold himself up.

Then, he bent over and stuck his butt out.

The bath towel was precarious in this position.

Looking back between his legs at the puzzled Su Ming, he tried his best to squeeze out what he considered his most charming, most moving smile.

Using all the courage of his lifetime, he squeezed out two words...

"Daddy...!"

"..."

Su Ming looked as if he had been struck by lightning.

A man who could stand in a Thunder Horn Rhino [Sky-Breaking Thunder Pillar] for ten seconds without changing his expression, his pupils shook violently at this moment.

The next second.

"I'll fuck your grandfather!"

With a roar.

Su Ming's figure moved so fast he became a blur, and a crisp, clean whip kick landed with pinpoint accuracy on Ye Xiao's protruding rear.

"Bang!"

Ye Xiao flew out like a cannonball.

He passed through the living room.

He smashed through the solid wood door opposite.

The door panel shattered into countless fragments.

Ye Xiao hit the inner bedroom wall with a "splat."

The bath towel had long since flown away.

He remained embedded in the wall in an extremely indecent star shape, sliding down only after two seconds.

His eyes rolled back, and he was foaming at the mouth.

In the hotel corridor, alarms blared.

Su Ming stood on the spot, goosebumps still not having faded.

In this life... no, in both lives combined, he had never seen a scene more painful to the eyes!

The human sense of touch he had just regained.

The human sensory experience he had just regained.

All of it had been polluted by this kid.

"If today's scene makes me have nightmares," Su Ming gritted his teeth, "I will dig up your ancestral grave!"

One hour later.

Ye Xiao limped back into Su Ming's room.

The bath towel was wrapped back on.

His left eye was swollen like a walnut, and dried blood still hung from the corner of his mouth.

But at least he was still alive...

Su Ming sat on the sofa with a dark face, holding a cup of 82-year-old iced cola to calm his nerves.

He looked at Ye Xiao, his eyes filled with Killing Intent.

"If you dare to scare me again, I will break all three of your legs!"

Ye Xiao subconsciously squeezed his legs together.

No matter how thick-skinned he was, he knew by now that he had misunderstood.

Holding his still-aching face, he wanted to cry but had no tears, speaking with a sobbing tone.

"Foster father..."

"Get out!"

Su Ming felt his blood pressure rising again.

Ye Xiao shivered, not daring to be cheeky anymore, and hurriedly picked up the Thunder Beast crystal core from the floor, respectfully presenting it to Su Ming.

"Brother Ming, this... this is too valuable, I can't take it."

He was truly afraid now; this thing was too hot to handle and had almost cost him his life.

"Take it." Su Ming waved his hand impatiently. "I'm not giving it to you for free."

Ye Xiao jumped, immediately standing straight.

"First." Su Ming held up a finger.

"Doesn't your Family run a mining transport business in the Magic City? From today on, use all your Family channels to help me acquire all kinds of meteorites, iron, and other high-density exotic Ores. Buy as much as you can, at 20% above market price. Don't worry about the cost."

Su Ming, the big capitalist, was ready to exert his influence.

He still had over nine hundred million Federation credits in the System, and if that wasn't enough, he could just go into the Source Abyss and take more.

It was no big deal.

"Ore?"

Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment, then slapped his chest, making his ribs rattle.

"Brother Ming, don't worry! Leave this to me! Forget about 20% above market price, I'll buy them for you even if I have to pay out of my own pocket!

From now on, my Ye Family's mines are your mines!"

"Second." Su Ming couldn't be bothered to argue, holding up a second finger.

"After you use this crystal core to Breakthrough to Tier 4 Gold, I want to put you through devilish special training."

"At least three sparring sessions a week. You must use your full strength to unleash your Thunder Affinity Source Energy attacks on me. No holding back."

Back at the unfinished building, when Ye Xiao was at the Early Stage of Tier 3 Silver, he had punched him after being provoked, contributing nearly a thousand mass points.

Once he reached Tier 4 Gold, and with a Tier 6 Peak crystal core for his Breakthrough, the quality and quantity of his Thunder Affinity Source Energy would surely skyrocket, right?

Taking three to five punches at a time, squeezing him three to five times a week...

Isn't this just a sustainable, exclusive power bank?

Su Ming gave himself a mental thumbs-up.

This is what you call population economics.

Cultivate a lackey into a power bank, then extract energy on a fixed schedule.

Invest one crystal core, produce one perpetual motion machine.

I really am a natural-born businessman!

As for Ye Xiao, after hearing the second condition, he was almost stupid with joy.

He had been terrified, fearing Su Ming would propose some difficult condition.

And the result?

One, help his big brother handle his Family's business.

The other, act as his sparring partner and personally guide his Cultivate!

Is there such a good thing in the world?

For a cultivation fanatic like him, having an unfathomably strong expert as a sparring partner is an immense Opportunity that no amount of money could buy!

And he could logically hug the big shot's thigh!

"Big brother!" Ye Xiao's eyes were red with excitement.

"I'm willing! I am! Don't say three times a week, if you don't mind, three times a day is fine!"

Su Ming narrowed his eyes.

Every day?

If it's every day...

Wouldn't the monthly mass points directly exceed four hundred thousand?

"Deal." Su Ming reached out with satisfaction.

The two hands slapped together.

Ye Xiao grinned, and Su Ming grinned too.

Both of them felt they had made a huge profit and the other had suffered a huge loss!

One thought: Big brother is personally sparring with me, and even gave me a Tier 6 crystal core for free; my ancestral grave must be smoking with good fortune!

The other thought: Invest one crystal core, produce one perpetual motion machine. Warren Buffett himself would have to kneel at this return on investment.

The room's atmosphere was harmonious!

Just at this moment,

"Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz..."

Su Ming's mobile terminal suddenly vibrated.

He looked down at the screen, his eyebrows lifting slightly.

Caller ID...

Teacher Lin Qinyin!
