The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

The top leader has left, and the person in charge of the press conference still said the same thing: they are not considering including non-Dongda citizens in the cultivation program for the time being.

Several reporters exchanged glances, thinking that they could avoid being punished because of their numbers, and thus banded together to cause trouble.

They wouldn't dare cause trouble for anything else, not even matters of national security, since it's a matter for the country, not for them. But now, cultivation concerns their health and lifespan, so they're willing to take the risk.

However, the reality was very disheartening for them, which made Ruan Mianmian laugh out loud.

As several reporters gathered to prepare for a protest, the person in charge swept them away with a flick of his sleeve!

The reporters sat on the ground, completely bewildered, and after the bewilderment came shock.

The person in charge remained polite as he looked at the reporters who were trying to cause trouble, but his words were anything but gentle: "Disrupting the press conference will result in being blacklisted by any press conference."

All the reporters were stunned, and the troublemakers looked as if they had lost their parents.

This press conference was like a global tsunami, sweeping everything away.

Ruan Mianmian learned from Leader Liu that ten minutes after the press conference ended, many countries called to express their desire to visit Beijing.

"The government shouldn't just refuse outright, right?" Ruan Mianmian asked.

"There was no refusal. The initial plan is to make some exchanges of benefits," Leader Liu said with a smile.

Since the test showed that those without Dongda bloodline cannot cultivate, the country began planning to exploit this information gap to make a lot of money.

As for being criticized by various countries, that's not a big deal at all.

We didn't know beforehand. We generously share cultivation methods that can strengthen the body and even prolong life. It's just that you don't have the spiritual roots to cultivate them.

If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for not being born to enjoy good fortune.

The opportunity was given to you, but you were all useless!

An hour after the press conference ended, the cultivation app was launched, opening up cultivation applications by province and city.

If you don't want to download the app, you can directly log in to the virtual real-world platform to apply.

Almost as soon as it opened, people from all over the country flocked to apply, afraid of falling behind.

This is cultivation! It's a once-in-a-millennium opportunity to become powerful, to fly and escape into the earth, and to extend one's lifespan!

Everyone went into a frenzy!

With a feverish look in his eyes, Su Jingchen rewatched the video of Ruan Mianmian demonstrating her cultivation abilities, muttering to himself, "You do care about me, don't you? You don't want me to be ugly from now on, so you gave me the opportunity to cultivate, right? I will definitely cultivate hard and use my spiritual power to heal the scars on my face. You wait for me!"

As they were talking, the alarm clock for applying for cultivation techniques rang. Su Jingchen quickly tapped the app to download and submit his application.

However, it failed.

The system popped up a notification saying that he had a criminal history and was therefore ineligible to apply.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" His hopes dashed, Su Jingchen was going crazy. He slammed his phone to the ground and went to log into the virtual reality app.

But just like countless times before, he simply couldn't log in.

Although he was granted medical parole and spared imprisonment due to the disfigurement of his face by sulfuric acid, his criminal record still remains on his file.

He doesn't get to enjoy any of the new welfare benefits the government has introduced.

Su Jingchen lost his mind; he went berserk and smashed everything in the room.

Finally, as he continued smashing the object, he covered his scarred and grotesque face, and broke down in tears, crying out, "I apologize to you, please let me go? Please let me go! It was my fault, it was my fault, please let me go..."

Zhou Yan'an's family also had a hard time, and their lives became increasingly impoverished.

They were completely abandoned by their former circle. Not only were they not ridiculed by people from that circle, they didn't even have the chance to run into that circle again.

Although they had considerable savings and real estate, they were used to spending money lavishly in the past, always using the best of everything. After falling on hard times, they couldn't change their ways immediately. It wasn't until they ran out of money that they panicked and started to save.

But it was too late; they had even reached the point where they were careful with their money when it came to eating better food and buying better clothes.

They had no choice but to go out and find work.

But they all have the temperament of young masters and misses, they are used to speaking in a superior manner, and they are used to being fawned over. How can they adapt to being treated like beasts of burden?

Living in poverty day after day, they deeply regretted their actions.

They regretted more than once what would have happened if they had treated Ruan Mianmian better.

Zhou Yan'an started urging his wife to call Ruan Mianmian.

Mrs. Zhou initially refused, but looking at her increasingly rough and aged hands, she eventually gave in.

Unfortunately, when she tried to call, Ruan Mianmian refused to answer—she had blocked all of the Zhou family's phone numbers the moment things fell apart.

Once Zhou Yan'an and his wife took that step of abandoning their dignity, they truly discarded all pretense of face, and they kept changing their phone numbers when calling Ruan Mianmian.

However, after receiving one phone call, Ruan Mianmian stopped answering calls from unknown numbers, and they were unable to contact her again.

When things didn't work out with his daughter, Zhou Yan'an decided to try his mother.

Even if he has made a thousand mistakes, he is still his mother's son. His mother raised him with great difficulty, so she can't just abandon him, can she?

Let's assume that everything before was to teach him a lesson. He already knows he was wrong, so now he's asking his mother for help. Surely his mother wouldn't refuse to lend a hand and just watch her only son go hungry?

The old lady really couldn't do it, so she introduced a job to Zhou Yan'an's whole family—working in a small private company with a monthly salary of 4000!

4000 yuan, not even enough for their expenses in a single day!

Zhou Yan'an felt this was an insult to his family. He was so angry that he went to the old lady's house to argue with her and ask her if she really didn't want him as her son anymore.

The old woman looked at him calmly: "It's true." It was this son in front of her who, with his indifference, had exhausted the last bit of maternal love in her when she was sick.

So today, when her son came over and made a scene, trying to say the most hurtful things to her, she realized that she really didn't care anymore.

"How could you do this to me?" Zhou Yan'an met the old lady's gaze, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave, chilled to the bone, and could only utter this one sentence in the end.

The old lady looked at Zhou Yan'an calmly and said, "I can only say that I will not let you starve to death, but I will not give you any more than that." Looking at the disbelief and despair in Zhou Yan'an's eyes, she explained calmly, "My indifference to you today is the same as the indifference you showed me when I was sick."

Zhou Yan'an returned home with his entire family, dejected and disheartened, and began to endure the days.

When the government held a press conference to announce that it was possible to cultivate immortality, they, who were already mired in difficulties, felt that this was an opportunity.

However, when they went to apply, they discovered that they were not eligible!

Zhou Yan'an's entire family was devastated.

Zhou Yihan clenched her fists: "It must be Ruan Mianmian, it must be her, she's deliberately targeting us!"
