Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 33 Family's Shock

Passing through the underground passage under the arena and following the members' private passage, Lin Feng quickly exited the Thunder Martial Arts Hall.

"Gao Hai, I'm here."

In a corner, Lin Feng took out his phone and contacted Gao Hai.

He didn't go through the main entrance, but instead used a special passage, because there were quite a few people gathered at the main entrance of the Thunder Martial Arts Hall at that time.

These people were cursing and swearing, and their eyes were hostile. From their words, one could vaguely hear the words "high school students," so it was clear that they had come to cause trouble for Lin Feng.

These gamblers, blinded by their losses, needed to vent their anger, but they were quickly dispersed by the dojo's security guards. However, they did not go far and continued to search for targets in the crowd.

"Let's go." After meeting up with Gao Hai, the two quickly left.

"Brother Feng, how much did you make?"

Gao Hai looked excited and couldn't wait to ask as soon as he appeared.

"21"

Lin Feng looked around; he had just received a message from the bank on his phone.

"How come it's only 21? That's so little?" Gao Hai asked in confusion.

"The maximum number of bronze cards is 10,000."

"Oh right, I forgot. What a pity, it would have been great if we had ten thousand in bets."

Gao Hai suddenly realized what was happening and said with some regret.

This was Lin Feng's first time at the martial arts gym, which is why he was able to play dumb to outsmart everyone. He won't have such an opportunity again.

"You have half of this money, but I have some plans that require it, so I'll give it to you later."

Lin Feng put his arm around Gao Hai's shoulder and said.

"Hehe, you don't need that many, just give me some."

Gao Hai's chubby little face was flushed with excitement. He chuckled and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I didn't do anything, how could I ask for so much?"

Like Lin Feng, Gao Hai came from a very ordinary family; you could say that everyone living in the riverside community was poor.

Besides Gao Hai, there is also a younger brother in Gao Hai's family. He is in the first year of junior high school and is chubby like Gao Hai.

Both brothers are in school, and Gao Hai wanted to do his part to help his parents with their hard work, which is why he didn't refuse.

"Hehe, don't get excited, it's just a small amount of money."

Seeing Gao Hai so excited, even somewhat anxious, Lin Feng smiled and said.

Gao Hai had no answer to this, so he could only chuckle and neither refute nor accept any rebuttal from anyone.

At this moment, he absolutely admired Lin Feng. He earned 21 yuan in just one afternoon. What else was impossible?

"It's almost six o'clock. I made some money today, so I should celebrate. Let's go to Juehaowei and get some takeout to pick up my sister after get off work."

Lin Feng said that Gao Hai naturally had no objections.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at Juehaowei. It was lunchtime, and the restaurant was already packed. After ordering a few dishes, Gao Hai waited in the lobby while Lin Feng went to the kitchen to find the older sister and ask when she could get off work.

At the kitchen door.

Lin Feng stood still and did not enter the kitchen.

Through the curtain, he watched his older sister's figure, who was constantly busy like a tireless robot. Even so, she was still urged by the chef and her colleagues from time to time. With her good temper, she could only respond loudly and then speed up again. Her face was slightly red and she looked extremely disheveled with sweat all over her head.

"Brother Feng, the food here is a bit expensive, it's really too extravagant!"

Gao Hai came looking for Lin Feng, carrying two large bags in his hands as he walked over, sighing.

These two large bags of food cost nearly a thousand yuan, enough for their family's food expenses for a month.

If they hadn't made a profit, they really wouldn't have been able to afford it.

"Has Sister Ke Rou not gotten off work yet?"

After Gao Hai finished sighing, he noticed that Lin Feng was still motionless and asked with some confusion.

Lin Feng didn't answer, but shook his head. Soon, Gao Hai also noticed the familiar figure and fell silent as well.

"Sister Ke Rou works so hard!"

Gao Hai was silent for a moment before speaking.

This is Lin Kerou's new job. She has been working there for three months and earns 4200 yuan a month, including two meals. The salary is not low; it is 1,000 yuan more than her previous job in a garment factory.

But high wages obviously come at a price.

This was the first time the two of them had seen Lin Kerou's new job.

It was the first time I had ever seen her so exhausted and disheveled.

This kind of work is so oppressive that it's hard to breathe, and almost all of the older sister's colleagues are older women, some even in their fifties or sixties.

"Let's go."

Lin Feng said something, turned around and left, without entering the kitchen or daring to let his older sister see him.

Nobody wants others to see them in such a disheveled state, not even their family.

At that moment, Lin Feng made a decision.

Seeing how hard his older sister was working, all of Lin Feng's hesitation vanished.

He just wanted to change all of this as soon as possible.

After waiting for half an hour, until the food had gone cold, Lin Feng finally called his older sister to tell her that he would come pick her up from get off work later.

……

The Lin family of five sat around the dining table, which was laden with an enticing array of dishes—six dishes and a soup—a simple meal, even for the Lunar New Year.

Although they were very hungry, no one touched their chopsticks; instead, they all turned their attention to Lin Feng.

"Alright, everyone's here. What good news do you have to announce?"

Lin Fang looked at Lin Feng with a helpless yet anxious expression.

Yesterday, because Lin Feng's awakening failed, Lin Fang was worried that her son would be traumatized and didn't sleep all night. After working all day, she dragged her tired body home and was just about to cook dinner when she was startled to see a table full of delicious food.

How much will this cost?

This was clearly the work of Lin Feng and Lin Kerou, who had returned home early. She asked them but received no answer. Her daughter even said mysteriously that she had good news to announce when the family returned.

"Brother, did you win the lottery?"

Ma Lele exclaimed excitedly, swallowing hard. She had never eaten so many delicious foods before. She touched her stomach and felt that it had become flat.

"This meal must have cost close to a thousand, right? Did you really win the lottery?" Old Ma asked curiously.

This meal alone is worth a third of his salary.

"Ke Rou, what are you laughing at? Do you know something?"

Old Ma asked, because Lin Kerou kept smiling, as if she knew something?
Faced with Lao Ma's doubts, Lin Kerou smiled but remained silent.

Although she was physically exhausted after a day's work, she was extremely excited.

Life suddenly became full of hope.

She is proud to have such a younger brother!
When she first heard the news, she was shocked and incredulous, and she was curious to see what kind of expression she would have.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Feng smiled and said, "This afternoon I went to the Thunder Martial Arts Hall to challenge the arena and earned 21."

"how is this possible?"

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Lin Fang said in disbelief.

Although she is not a martial artist and does not follow martial arts, she is no stranger to martial arts dojos.

She knew that betting was allowed at the martial arts gym, but how could a high school student with a seventh-level physical training skill possibly earn so much money?
Lin Feng did not explain his mother's doubts, but continued, "Actually, I did not fail to refine on the day of awakening."

"what?"

Even Lao Ma exclaimed in surprise this time.

They were still heartbroken yesterday over Lin Feng's failed awakening, and his wife, Lin Fang, even tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.

In addition, Lin Feng looked depressed, weak and sleepless in the morning, which made them very worried about him and afraid that he would be stimulated.

If there was no failure, does that mean it was a success?

"Actually, I could have refined a ninth-tier demon spirit, or even a demon spirit ranked on the Earth Ranking, but I was unlucky and didn't find one that suited me, so I gave up."

Lin Fang and Lao Ma were both a little dazed, but Ma Lele quickly recovered after a slight surprise and screamed loudly:

"I knew my brother was the best."

Ma Lele waved her little hands and jumped around excitedly.

After a long while, Lin Fang finally came to her senses: "Then why didn't you say so yesterday?"

"I said it!"

Lin Feng said helplessly, "I told Lele that those demon spirits were too low-level and we couldn't find any suitable ones."

At this moment, Lin Fang and Lao Ma realized that Lin Feng had indeed said that yesterday.

They thought Lin Feng was just trying to protect his brother's image or was making excuses to comfort Lele, but they never expected it to be true.

Upon learning that Lin Feng's martial arts talent was equally outstanding, Lin Fang and Lao Ma were not happy, but rather afraid.

Some suspected that Lin Feng had suffered a mental breakdown due to the failure of Awakening Day, or that it was a prank.

Martial arts genius?

How do I refine the Earthly Ranking Demon Spirit?
This feels like listening to the news.

This news was from yesterday, and the protagonist of the news is named Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu, a first-grade martial artist with exceptional talent, is only eighteen years old and has refined the Thorn Demon Dragon, which ranks 17th on the Earth Ranking. Isn't he such a genius?

Even his own son?
A genius like Ye Qiu?

"Then why are you."

The dinner lasted for more than an hour. Even though Lin Feng explained a lot, Lin Fang and Lao Ma still couldn't believe it.

The dinner was very lavish, but apart from Lin Kerou and Ma Lele, Lin Fang and Lao Ma ate rather listlessly.

Their original expectation for Lin Feng was that he could get into one of the nine elite joint schools, and after graduation, the whole family could move into the inner city.

But now, all of this seems so close, even far beyond our reach, it feels so unreal.

"You don't need to look at me like that."

Seeing his mother staring at him, Lin Feng gave a wry smile and shook his head helplessly.

He knew the news was too exaggerated and hard to believe.

Lin Feng originally didn't plan to let his family know so soon. He intended to refine the Nightmare and get into one of the three major hero academies before telling them.

In that case, the facts will give it credibility and make it easier for family members to accept.

However, plans can't keep up with changes. Due to the conflict at school and his older sister's situation, Lin Feng had to tell her earlier than expected.

Starting tomorrow, everything will change.
