23: Ruthless money-making machine

It was noon.

Li Xue凝 pushed open the door, carrying a heavy basket of groceries.

She was about to bend down to change her shoes when she suddenly froze.

Two silver-white instrument cabins had appeared in the living room at some point.

The streamlined cabins gleamed coldly in the dim light, and precise electronic components were vaguely visible under the transparent glass covers.

The highly futuristic design looked completely out of place in this simple home.

Su Lei was squatting beside them, holding an instruction manual and fiddling with the buttons.

Hearing the door open, he turned his head, a smile on his face.

"You're back?"

Li Xue凝 blinked, nodded gently, and after putting down the grocery basket, she walked over curiously: "This is...?"

Su Lei put down the instruction manual and explained: "The latest model of bio-resonance cabin."

"I happened to see it on sale on the way back, so I bought two."

Li Xue凝 placed the grocery basket to the side, gently stroked the surface of the cabin, and then walked around the instrument, her eyes full of wonder.

Su Lei tapped a few times on the control panel, and the screen immediately lit up, displaying several different mode options.

"It has several functions."

"For example, this deep sleep mode, lying in it for two hours can completely relieve fatigue."

"There's also this endocrine regulation... and this one promotes bone and muscle growth..."

Li Xue凝 listened, stunned, and only came back to her senses after a while: "These two instruments... they must be very expensive, right?"

Su Lei shrugged: "Three million combined."

"Three million?!" Li Xue凝's eyes widened abruptly, her voice unconsciously rising, "You... this mission..."

"It went very smoothly. Boss Chen transferred the money to my card immediately."

"But..."

"Yun'er and Qiaoqiao are both of school age. I don't want them to lose at the starting line."

"Don't worry, besides the three million mission reward, I also earned an extra five million this time."

"What? Five million?!"

Li Xue凝's voice trembled slightly, her eyes filled with shock.

She thought she had misheard and asked repeatedly several times.

Su Lei took her hand and sat her on the sofa, then briefly recounted what happened.

Of course, he also omitted some details.

Such as the battle with the Black Scaled Python and the conflict with Wang Xing.

He didn't want his family to worry about it.

After listening to his account, Li Xue凝 still felt somewhat unbelievable, even a little dizzy.

He earned eight million in one day?

Although spending three million at once made her heart ache immensely, the remaining five million was still an unimaginable fortune!

Li Xue凝 was momentarily speechless, feeling as if it were an unreal dream.

It wasn't until Su Lei gently waved his hand in front of her eyes that she finally came back to her senses.

"Woo~ Hubby, you're amazing!"

Before Su Lei could respond, Li Xue凝 suddenly threw herself into his arms, hugging his neck tightly and kissing him passionately.

She only reluctantly let go a minute later when she was almost out of breath.

"I never thought that Miss Lin would be so generous." Li Xue凝's cheeks were flushed, and she said softly, "You really should thank her properly."

Su Lei shook his head helplessly, "Just a spoiled and willful little girl. She almost made me explode with anger."

Li Xue凝's expression suddenly became subtle, and she whispered: "I actually think... she might have fallen for you."

"How could that be?"

"Don't underestimate a woman's intuition, you know."

Su Lei frowned slightly.

He hadn't thought much of it at the time, but now, upon closer reflection, Lin Qianqian's shift in attitude before and after was indeed a bit odd.

However, discussing such things in front of his wife always felt strange.

"Alright, I'll delete her contact information right now."

Su Lei immediately took out his phone, but Li Xue凝 next to him pressed his hand down.

"Since she's good to you and has a military background... let's just forget it."

"Maintain a good relationship with her; who knows, she might be able to help you a lot in the future."

Su Lei couldn't help but be stunned, "Aren't you afraid I'll..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a slender finger gently pressed against his lips.

"Silly." Li Xue凝 leaned her head gently against his chest, smiling gently.

"You've gone to underground boxing matches and taken on commissions for this family..."

"And the children are already so big, so how could I not trust you?"

Looking at his wife's sincere eyes, Su Lei's heart warmed, and he couldn't help but hold her hand tightly.

The two snuggled together, silently feeling each other's breath and heartbeat.

Just as the atmosphere was gradually warming up and Su Lei's hand began to wander restlessly, the crisp sounds of Su Yun and Su Qiaoqiao's laughter suddenly came from outside the door.

"Wow! What's this!"

"Dad, is this our new toy?"

Li Xue凝 quickly sat up straight, anxiously tidying her slightly disheveled skirt.

"Um, I'm going to cook..."

Watching the graceful figure flee into the kitchen, Su Lei shook his head helplessly and waved to the two children.

"Yun'er, Qiaoqiao, this is the most Advanced bio-resonance cabin on the market."

"Come here, Dad will show you how to 'play' with it."

After some coaxing and trickery, he finally got the two into the bio-resonance cabin and then pressed the deep sleep mode button.

"Now no one will disturb us..."

Su Lei chuckled, and in three steps, he rushed into the kitchen.

Amidst his wife's surprised shriek, he scooped her up by the waist and strode towards the bedroom.

...

An hour later,

The intense sounds slowly faded.

Su Lei gently closed the bedroom door, went to the study, and turned on the desktop computer.

Currently, his card balance was 5.3 million.

But there were simply too many places to spend money.

Su Yun and Su Qiaoqiao had to attend the best schools.

Their family should also move from this old house in the urban village to a high-end residential area or a villa.

And taking the bus every day wasn't practical either.

Whether it was meeting clients or carrying out missions in the wilderness, he needed a good car for transportation.

After calculating, the usable money was roughly around one million.

He didn't know how to do business or invest, so rather than keeping it in the card, it was better to use it to improve his strength.

The stronger he was, the more opportunities he would have to earn money.

This time's Hunting Building was a very good example.

After opening the Martial Artist Alliance website, Su Lei entered his eight-digit ID.

On the homepage, he clicked into the mall page.

A dazzling array of goods met his eyes.

Qi and Blood Pills, Cultivation Techniques, weapons and equipment...

Although a bit expensive compared to market prices.

But as an official platform, all these goods were certified genuine and of good quality; there would never be shoddy or counterfeit items.

Su Lei's finger tapped lightly on the mouse, his gaze sweeping quickly.

Unfortunately, after looking for a long time, he still couldn't find what he wanted, and he sighed helplessly.

The browsing permission for a Second-Rank Martial Artist was still too low.

Some good things, let alone buying them, he couldn't even see them.

...

After enjoying a delicious lunch with his family, Su Lei took a bus to the Martial Artist Alliance Center in Jiangnan City.

All Martial Artist-related matters were handled here, so the daily foot traffic was very high.

After patiently waiting for an hour in a seat, his number was finally called over the broadcast.

The Young Miss at the front desk smiled: "Hello, how may I help you?"

"To certify Martial Artist information."

"Alright, please tell me your ID number."

After entering a series of numbers into the computer, the Young Miss at the front desk suddenly frowned.

"I apologize, sir, your Martial Artist certificate was just canceled."
