106: Luo Hua's request

Jiangnan Base City, Yangzhou, Mingyue Residential Area.

After returning home, Qiao Yu first took a nice hot bath, then went to the Luo family's house to greet Father and Luo Mother.

Luo Feng had returned once half a month ago, but a few days ago, he headed back to the Wilderness Area with the Fire Hammer Squad.

Luo Hua, on the other hand, was surprisingly not out on a date with Zhen Nan; he seemed quite depressed.

Qiao Yu clearly remembered that since his legs had recovered, he enjoyed going out more, and Father and Luo Mother were happy to see their younger son becoming more cheerful.

Why was he back to this state now?

After asking Luo Hongguo, Qiao Yu learned that although Luo Hua's legs had recovered, he still didn't seem to be well-received by Zhen Nan's parents. Zhen Nan's family seemed quite wealthy, so it was normal for them to have high standards.

Qiao Yu understood this; as the saying goes, first impressions are lifelong impressions, unless there is a massive shock to change them.

Before such a shock occurred, Zhen Nan's parents were still reluctant to see their precious daughter associating with Luo Hua. They continued to obstruct them in every way; even though Luo Hua's older brother, Luo Feng, was a Martial Artist, Luo Hua himself was not.

Zhen Nan's parents preferred their daughter to marry a Martial Artist rather than a leech who relied on his brother. Even though Luo Hua had already displayed his Heaven-Defying Business Talent to them, his capital wasn't much. The money he was currently making was just a drop in the bucket compared to their assets.

Zhen Nan's parents had also interacted with relatives who were High-level Martial Artists, which made them realize that in this world, Martial Artists were supreme. No matter how much money a person had, their life could not compare to a Martial Artist's and would eventually fade away. If a commoner had a conflict with a Martial Artist, even if they were killed, it would be difficult to seek justice.

They wanted blood descendants who could become Martial Artists. Naturally, the probability of a child born to their daughter and a Martial Artist becoming one was much higher than with a commoner like Luo Hua.

In the original work, it wasn't until Luo Feng grew into a towering tree that Zhen Nan's parents dared not object.

But now... it seemed Luo Hua still had to endure the pain he was meant to endure.

Qiao Yu thought to himself.

"Brother Yu, why do you think two people who love each other can't be together? Why are there so many obstacles? First, it was because of my physical condition, which I could understand. After all, no one wants their daughter to marry a cripple."

"But why, even though I've clearly become a normal person, do I still not have their approval? Brother Yu, what should I do?"

Luo Hua asked despondently, looking somewhat dejected. His eyes were filled with melancholy, as if all the beauty in the world were interconnected but had nothing to do with him.

Qiao Yu patted Luo Hua's shoulder and said earnestly.

"Luo Hua, this is just how the world is. Great expectations are placed on men. In the past, the expectation was for every man to become a dragon, earn lots of money, and have a high social status. If you aren't successful, others see it as you being incompetent. It's all about the results."

"But sometimes, a person's success depends more on talent, luck, Bloodline, and influence than on hard work... All roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome. Who can you complain to about that?"

"Many successful people attribute their success to their own hard work, but there are millions who work harder than them. How many of those actually succeed?"

"Take me for example. You know me; I was stuck at the Student Level since I was a child. No matter how much effort I put in, I could never take a step further. Aside from relatives, family, and friends, who would understand you? Who would care?"

"I didn't become a Martial Artist because of how hard I worked, but because I awakened my talent as a Psycher Master, allowing me to constantly break through the shackles of my Physical Body and become a Martial Artist, even reaching..."

Qiao Yu stopped mid-sentence and suddenly froze.

"Wait, why am I still a High-level Wargod? I should have raised my strength to the War God Level in the Wilderness Area before leaving!"

Qiao Yu lightly tapped his head, feeling a bit speechless with himself. Forget it, he would upgrade after the spirit of grass and wood sent by The Organization arrived.

Luo Hua was listening intently when he saw Qiao Yu suddenly hit himself. He was completely baffled.

"Brother Yu, you..."

Qiao Yu waved his hand and smiled.

"It's nothing."

"You're smart; you should understand what I'm trying to say."

Luo Hua nodded thoughtfully, but even with this guidance, his troubles remained unresolved.

"Brother Yu, I understand everything you've said. Based on what you're saying, I might never get Zhen Nan's parents' approval. I don't seem to have the talent to become a Martial Artist."

"I've also tried to constantly train myself during this time, but other than making myself exhausted and covered in bruises, there's been no effect."

Luo Hua rolled up his sleeves and pant legs, revealing the bruises on his arms and thighs as he complained.

"What? You want to become a Martial Artist that badly?"

Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow. He naturally knew that Luo Hua had no talent for the path of a Martial Artist. In the Late Stage, Luo Feng purely used resources to force him into becoming a powerhouse just so he could live longer.

"Brother Yu, actually, I don't want to be a Martial Artist. I love finance; I can feel the joy of financial data dancing at my fingertips. But I really want to be with Zhen Nan."

Luo Hua wasn't lying to Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu was quite relieved by this; it seemed Luo Hua was still very honest with him.

He could understand why Luo Hua was so obsessed with love. After all, Luo Hua was just a sixteen-year-old boy who saw love as more important than anything else. He didn't want to persuade him further.

Qiao Yu patted Luo Hua's head, but Luo Hua remained just as gloomy. Suddenly, Luo Hua seemed to think of something. His eyes lit up, and he excitedly said to Qiao Yu.

"Brother Yu, I heard before that there's a type of Potion in the Martial Artist circles that can directly turn a commoner into a Martial Artist, but the cost is that they can never progress further. Is that true?"

Qiao Yu blinked and nodded.

"There is such a Potion. Its value is roughly between tens of millions and a hundred million. I'm not sure about the exact price."

After receiving a positive answer, Luo Hua seemed even more excited.

"Brother Yu, could I ask you to help me buy a bottle? I have money! I want to use this to become a Martial Artist!"

Qiao Yu pursed his lips and thought for a moment before responding.

"I can buy a bottle for you, but have you considered the consequences?"

"With your girlfriend's family background, they are perfectly capable of buying this Potion to become Martial Artists themselves. Do they really need a Martial Artist with no future?"

"If you become a Martial Artist with no potential for advancement through this Potion, do you think they will look at you with new respect?"
