Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 7 Income
Timeline!
Ji Fuyou seized the time to recall.

The earliest dream I had dates back four years!
However, the dream from four years ago was too bizarre, and the time was fragmented, making it far less clear than the recent records.

He vaguely remembered a colossal, star-devouring monster so large it blotted out the sky...

It devoured the entire world!?

"Did the world end at that moment?"

His thoughts paused.

K.

Or perhaps not.

The concept of the world is so vast, how could his perspective encompass the entire cosmos?

A colossal beast, ten kilometers in size, descended from the sky, enough to blot out the sky for ordinary people.

The scene he saw was more likely a visual illusion.

What's more...

"I remember, there was a figure... a swordsman! His sword cleaved through the heavens and earth, facing that monster."

Compared to the monster, his memory of the swordsman was much clearer.

He couldn't see the swordsman's face clearly, but the power of his sword that cleaved the sky was deeply imprinted in his memory.

With a single sword strike, the atmosphere was shattered, and the sun and stars appeared in broad daylight!
This created a vast, seemingly endless abyss-like gap in the sky!
How incredibly powerful is this!?
What immense power this is!
He had fantasized more than once that if he possessed such swordsmanship, what fear would he have of mere dream monsters!
Kill one by one!
Come two and kill a pair!
Sword devours the world, sweeping across the eight wastelands!
Even the world's forbidden nuclear weapons are utterly insignificant in the face of such overwhelming power!
and so……

He watched fighting videos to improve his physical fitness and health.

As a result, his experience at the foot of Mount Fulong shocked him, revealing that what he had dreamt of was real!
"Isn't this a modern urban society where materialism and money reign supreme?"

Ji Fuyou's mind was churning with thoughts.

An inexplicable sense of exhilaration welled up inside me.

"In the future, will there truly be an unparalleled swordsman, capable of cleaving the heavens and the abyss with his sword?! A human being who can rival gods and demons?!"

Ji Fuyou felt a surge of heat throughout his body, and his heart was filled with longing.

He originally thought that in this world of rigid social classes, his future life might just be like this.

After graduating from university, I find a job, work like a slave at my workplace, and drift through life aimlessly.

They might not even live to a ripe old age, succumbing to nightmares and dying suddenly.

but now……

The scenes from his dream kept flashing through his mind!
Orcs, spider monsters, giant scorpions, blood bats, skeletons, corpse demons...

There are monsters!

There are also humans who can fight against monsters!
These humans refine source crystals in the process of fighting monsters, constantly becoming stronger and growing stronger!
finally……

It gave birth to a peerless swordsman who could cleave the heavens with a single sword and dominate the world!
"I……"

Ji Fuyou's chest heaved as he breathed heavily.

He wanted to say something.

but……

It seems that nothing is really meaningful once it's said.

Only through practice.

Practical action will prove everything.

"future!"

Ji Fuyou reached out his hand, making a grasping motion as if he had grasped something.

But he had nothing in his hands.

But as he clenched his fist and closed his palm, he suddenly calmed down.

Thoughts flowed gently through my heart like a tranquil stream.

An unprecedented sense of fulfillment filled my heart.

At that moment, he found the meaning of his existence.

"Cultivation! Transcendence!"

Live up to the future, live a worthwhile life.

……

A dreamless night.

Ji Fuyou opened his eyes in bed.

Somewhat surprised.

Yet it also felt reasonable.

He himself couldn't explain why he felt it was reasonable.

That's the feeling.

"The Association of Mental Abilities has described that some people are born with strong mental power, so they have keen senses, can better detect danger, and can even make the right judgment based on instinct when making some critical choices."

He was reborn and merged with another soul, so it's not an exaggeration to say he had innate spiritual power.

Ji Fuyou was in a great mood, as he was unusually free from nightmares.

He didn't stay in bed too long.

After washing up, I went downstairs and started exercising in the community.

but……

When he tried to warm up by running as usual, he found that this intensity of exercise made it difficult to even warm up.

So he sped up.

As a result, he ran several hundred meters in one go without getting red in the face or out of breath, and without feeling tired at all.

"It's a Source Crystal!" he thought to himself.

Thinking back to how I stayed up until 2 a.m. last night and was still full of energy...

He realized that the enhancement of the Source Crystal was not as simple as he had imagined.

After practicing for an hour as usual, Ji Fuyou returned home, put on his watch, went downstairs, and walked towards a high-end luxury goods recycling store 300 meters away.

"Longyuan Trading Company".

Ji Fuyou glanced at the signboard.

He checked online and found that the store had a good reputation in Xingguang City.

Of course, in this day and age, anything can be fake, and reputation is no exception.

Therefore, Ji Fuyou remained on high alert and made thorough preparations beforehand.

Fortunately, the process went relatively smoothly.

The disagreement arose over the price.

……

"9?"

"Since you cannot provide invoices, proof of purchase, or other necessary documents, we can only offer a buyback price of up to 65% of the original price, as we also bear significant risks..."

The staff patiently explained.

9 million.

This is also a significant additional gain for Ji Fuyou.

However, this is 10 less than my original expectation of 1...

This is equivalent to the income he would have earned from tutoring for a hundred afternoons in his spare time.

"Sir, Longyuan's reputation is guaranteed throughout Chuzhou. We're not deliberately trying to lower the price; it's just the market rate. This watch is relatively unpopular in the New Century series..."

The staff were very patient.

Just as Ji Fuyou was pondering whether to ask in other places, a voice came from inside.

"Just do as this guy said, 10."

Immediately afterwards, a man who looked to be in his late twenties and wearing a suit walked out from inside.

"boss."

Several staff members in the store greeted them at the same time.

"The Piaget New Century Tactical Watch is bought by people who work in the martial arts and combat industries, or even professional martial artists."

The man smiled and asked Ji Fuyou, "Young man, are you having some trouble?"

Professional martial artist?
This somewhat obscure term sparked an idea in Ji Fuyou's mind.

"We're short of money."

He said something, then added in a casual tone, "Besides, I mainly follow the mental ability system, so I'm taking this watch out to exchange for some money."

"A psychic?"

The man clearly knew the inside story, and his eyes lit up slightly.

He stared intently into Ji Fuyou's eyes for a moment, and saw that although his complexion had not yet recovered, his eyes were bright and piercing.

This……

This was clearly a sign of years of meditation and spiritual cultivation, and that he had achieved some success.

"Young man, you have such talent, my apologies."

As he spoke, the man proactively handed over his business card: "I am Jiang Yubai, the vice president of the Xinghui Road branch of the Longyuan Chamber of Commerce. May I ask your name, sir?"

"Ji Fuyou, a student."

Ji Fuyou said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I don't have a business card."

"Haha, I understand. Could you please leave your contact number, Brother Ji? I'm also very interested in meditation and spiritual cultivation, but unfortunately I've never been able to enter a meditative state. I hope I can ask you for guidance sometime."

Jiang Yubai chuckled as he spoke, then added, "Paying is fine too."

A Level 1 psychic is equivalent to a top hypnotist.

Such talented individuals naturally have very valuable time.

"of course."

Ji Fuyou took out his phone.

The two added each other as friends using StarNet, the most popular social networking app today.

“The number of professional martial artists has been rising rapidly recently. Everyone is pursuing the idea of ​​perfecting their essence and qi, refining qi into spirit, and cultivating spiritual power. Tactical watches for martial artists are very popular. Your watch looks to be 90% new. Selling it for 110,000 would not be difficult. Since we are friends, I can't make money off my friends. Let's go with the price of 110,000.”

Jiang Yubai said with a smile.

They clearly don't care about a price difference of ten or twenty thousand.

"11 million..."

Ji Fuyou was indeed short of money, and his use of the concept of "spiritual powerhouse" to bluff his way to a higher price for the watch was just a ploy, so he didn't refuse: "Thank you."

"Haha, don't be so polite with me."

Jiang Yubai clearly understood the principle that too much of a good thing can be bad: "I have something to do, so I'll have to go first. I'll ask Brother Ji for advice again when I have the chance."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

After Jiang Yubai left, the staff helped Ji Fuyou with the formalities.

A few minutes later, Ji Fuyou received a text message on his phone.
