296: Money from the rich

When the first batch of students who had completed their cultivation returned home.

“Daughter, you really broke through? And made such great progress?” Chadel stroked his daughter’s head, disbelieving.

“You think? This wave isn’t a loss. Although the money spent was a bit much, the effect is too good.” Annie put her hands on her hips, looking triumphant.

......

“Son, is it really that miraculous?”

“How could I lie to you? The results are right here.”

“Did your Owner (Master) give you drugs?”

“Dad, what kind of drug can improve Laws?”

“That’s true. Is your martial arts gym still recruiting?”

“What’s wrong, Dad? The next recruitment will be in ten years.”

“Nothing, your dad here also hopes to further his studies. I’ve been at the Star Domain Level for too long. If I break through to Stellar River Level, my lifespan will increase tenfold.”

“That’s true, Dad. Wait, I’ll ask our Master for you.”

.......

The elders of the students were utterly impressed with Lin Ye. Initially, they thought the tuition was a bit expensive, but at this moment, they felt as if they had encountered a living Bodhisattva descended from heaven.

Because the effects brought by ‘ Krypton Gold’ (paying to win) were so remarkable, those parents who had nothing but money eagerly inquired with their children if there was a way for them to also enjoy the treatment of a student.

Not long after, Lin Ye received various related inquiries.

“Your mother wants to cultivate in the Broken Space?” Lin Ye stared at the snake-human girl in front of him, his face full of astonishment.

“Yes, Master, my mother has been stuck at the Star Domain Peak for a long time. If she relies on herself, I’m afraid she won’t be able to break through the bottleneck in this lifetime. If she can enter the Broken Space to cultivate and comprehend higher-level Laws, perhaps she will have a chance to advance to the Stellar River Level.” The girl pleaded with Lin Ye, her eyes brimming with tears.

“But this doesn’t comply with the rules. This place was originally prepared specifically for dojo students.” Lin Ye showed a troubled expression.

“My mother said that paying ten times the fee is not a problem, and she can also donate a sum to our martial arts gym.” The girl unleashed her killer move.

“Ten times? I’ll consider it.” Faced with the small fortune, Lin Ye ultimately hesitated.

“Master, everything is negotiable.” The girl blinked and smiled sweetly.

“Hmm, you go back first.”

Lin Ye had seen countless people like the girl.

How could those who could spend a billion to enroll their children lack money? Faced with the temptation of increased lifespan, no one could resist.

Lin Ye was considering whether to open it up.

........

“Damn it, I missed out on a hundred million!” Someone who failed to get selected as a student exclaimed with deep regret after hearing from a friend who became a student.

That was a divine object that could quickly improve Laws.

“No, no matter what, I must be selected for the next batch of students.”

........

After some consideration, Lin Ye felt that he could indeed do this.

The elders of these students had more abundant funds, and naturally, the more profit he would gain.

As for ‘ A crime of hiding a wall’ (being punished for possessing a treasure), unless Lin Ye completely exposed the Original Universe, a divine artifact that could manifest Laws didn’t seem that outrageous.

After all, every Law Divine Artifact contained a complete Law, and mastering it would naturally make cultivation progress at lightning speed.

And Lin Ye’s Broken Space required the consumption of spiritual materials. Although it allowed for the comprehension of more Laws, overall, it was inferior to a Law Divine Artifact.

“Just do it.”

Lin Ye sent out the notification.

Upon learning of it, the students joyfully relayed the news to their elders.

The elders were extremely excited. Breakthrough was imminent, and the temptation of extended life was too great.

For them, the desire for strength wasn’t that great. They knew their own talent and couldn’t break through to the Master level. Stellar River Level beginner and Stellar River Peak made no difference to them.

But the difference between Star Core beginner and Star Domain Level was huge.

“Praise Lin Ye, donate money, must donate money.”

“I am ninety-five thousand years old, I never thought I would one day be able to extend my life.”

“Hahahaha, I can enjoy myself for hundreds of thousands of years again.”

Throwing money, frantically throwing money. Even the wealthiest people have an infinite desire for longevity.

Of course, there were also Stellar River Level cultivators among them who wanted to improve their strength and pursue the peak.

Lin Ye didn’t expect such an enthusiastic response, and the money came in so fiercely.

A certain minor bigshot threw ten billion, another true bigshot threw a hundred billion. Similar situations were countless.

“Did I develop in the wrong direction? Isn’t it supposed to be that students’ money is the easiest to earn?” Lin Ye felt his values were being challenged.

Women > Children > Elderly > Dogs > Men. And most of the snake-human students were female + students. Their spending power couldn’t compare to a group of old people?

Is this an old people’s hot-blooded anime? Lin Ye thought strangely.

The first wave of donations gave Lin Ye five trillion, and this was still with many parents not even trying.

With the huge amount of funds, Lin Ye waved his hand, allowing this group of elderly people to enter.

The already cramped space became even smaller with their arrival.

“Mom, don’t push me.”

“Girl, why don’t you go out first?”

“Ha? So that’s the kind of mom you are.”

“Mom is old, and the time for breakthrough is limited. You are still young, what’s the hurry?”

That made a lot of sense. A group of young people who hadn’t inherited their family fortunes yet were clearly no match for the old veterans. They quickly tricked their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren out.

Lin Ye had no objection to this. The elders were ten times the price, earning much more than the youngsters.

He even somewhat regretted making the Broken Space so small, but then he thought, scarcity creates value. If it were large enough for everyone to cultivate, wouldn’t it lose its prestige?

This was good too.

When the first elder broke through, everyone was astonished.

“Congratulations, congratulations, ninety thousand years of extended life.”

“Congratulations.”

The breakthrough candidate had already reached his limit, he just hadn’t broken through that membrane yet.

Cultivating in the space, he broke through in just seven days.

“Hahahaha, thank you all, I wish you all success as well.” He walked out of the Broken Space, full of vigor, laughing heartily.

“Donate money, must donate a lot of money.” The breakthrough candidate muttered to himself.

He was a pharmaceutical tycoon, who had dominated the business world his entire life. When his lifespan was less than five thousand years, he finally woke up, but it was too late to try and break through. He never expected Lin Ye to give him such a possibility.

Lin Ye naturally sensed the first breakthrough candidate. Within his Original Universe, nothing could escape him.

Soon, a huge donation arrived.

“What? One trillion?” Lin Ye’s eyes widened. Rich, too rich.

If it weren’t to maintain his image, Lin Ye would have loved to look up to the sky and shout ‘ Old Iron 666’ (a Chinese internet slang for ‘awesome’).

Subsequently, breakthrough candidates came in an endless stream, and Lin Ye received donations until his hands were sore.

The gold coins contributed by this batch of student elders were hundreds of times more than what the students themselves paid.

Exploding with gold coins, it still had to be the old folks.
