I am the Immortal Emperor, and I am VIP 50.

"What are these spirit-gathering elixirs and body-tempering potions...?"

My childhood friend on the phone said, "Huh? What? What?"

"It's nothing, I'll hang up now."

"Huh? When is the banquet?"

"...I meant hanging up the phone."

After saying that, Zhou Yu hung up the phone, got up from the dining table, sat on the sofa, and glanced at the words in his field of vision.

It can enhance spiritual energy and physical constitution? Is there really such a good thing?

Isn't the normal way to cultivate immortality all about breathing in and out the spiritual energy in the air, circulating it within the body, and tempering one's body in order to increase the amount of spiritual energy and the strength of the body?

Is this... self-administering medication?

Can it work?

With a skeptical mindset, Zhou Yu tried buying a body-strengthening potion from the store.

Purchase successful

The next second, Zhou Yu felt as if he had been pricked with a needle in his arm, and then some kind of cool liquid was injected into his blood vessels, flowing through his blood and meridians to his whole body!

An unprecedented sensation spread from the spot where the needle prick had originated. Zhou Yu took a deep breath, and the sensation of pain and stimulation exploded in his brain at the same time.

"Mom!" Zhou Wanwan suddenly called out at the dinner table, "My brother's spitting out foam!"

When Zhou's mother turned around, she saw Zhou Yu's eyes roll back, and he was already lying on the sofa, blowing bubbles like a crab.

"Ah?" Zhou's mother exclaimed in surprise. She quickly came to Zhou Yu's side, patted his face, and said, "Son? Are you alright?"

Zhou Zaozao exclaimed in surprise, took out her phone, snapped a picture of Zhou Yu, and posted it on her WeChat Moments with the caption: "This is what happens when you eat my mom's breakfast."

Within minutes of posting it, all the relatives in the family liked it, and some even commented below.

"Sigh, the existence of spiritual energy is really harmful. Your mother is such a good person, and now she's driven to despair over her son's lack of ambition."

Zhou's mother slapped Zhou Yu several times, finally waking him up. He opened his eyes, grabbed the next slap his mother was about to deliver, and spoke with a serious expression.

"%……&￥"

Zhou's mother: "? What is that?"

Rubbing his face, Zhou Yu shouted, "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I've confessed everything! Just ask me what you want me to confess to!"

"No...it's alright..." Zhou's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief. "You child, you scared me to death! You were perfectly fine this morning, why did you start spitting out foam?"

Zhou Wanwan ran to the dining table, took a pack of tissues, came to Zhou Yu, took one out, and wiped the drool from the corner of Zhou Yu's mouth.

This body-strengthening agent is incredibly potent!

Zhou Yu's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and the pain and pleasure were intertwined, almost making him lose his mind.

"No, it's nothing. I'm just feeling a little unwell. I'll be fine after a rest."

Zhou's mother: "Are you sure we don't need to go to the hospital to get checked out?"

Zhou Yu shook his head repeatedly, "No need, no need, you all go about your business."

Seeing that Zhou Yu insisted he was fine no matter how much she tried to persuade him, and that he did seem to be alright now, Zhou's mother decided to observe him for a while.

If there's a next time, even if it's just a call for an ambulance, Zhou Yu should be taken to the hospital for a checkup.

Getting up, Zhou's mother returned to the dining table, and the adrenaline surge she had felt earlier due to nervousness immediately lost its effect.

A sharp pain made Zhou's mother frown.

She raised the arm from which the pain had come; it was the wrist that Zhou Yu had just grabbed.

There's a ring of redness around my wrist, and it's throbbing slightly; it's probably a bone injury.

"Did you hurt yourself while cooking?" Zhou's mother was puzzled. She didn't think she had done anything too strenuous, so how could she have hurt her wrist?

"Wanwan."

Hearing the sound, Zhou Wanwan stuffed a steamed bun into her mouth, her cheeks puffed out, and went to her mother, "%&*￥……&!"

"Eat first, then we can talk," Zhou's mother patted her head. "Could you get me the safflower oil from the drawer? I think I hurt my hand."

"Um!"

Zhou Yu, who was on the sofa, turned his attention back to the words in his field of vision.

The text in the shop has changed somewhat.

The two most obvious examples are the two places.

[Body Strengthening Agent (1/2): A body strengthening agent with considerable effects. After injection, it can improve physical fitness to a certain extent. Each bottle costs 200 yuan.]

[Shop Upgrade Progress: 200/5000]

The former is quite obvious: this body-strengthening potion is limited to two bottles per day, while the upgrade progress below... should refer to your spending in the store.

Once spending reaches 5000, the store can be upgraded, which should increase purchases and make new products available for purchase.

but……

"How exactly did I pay for this thing? I didn't see any payment instructions in these documents."

At this time.

buzz-

Zhou Yu's phone suddenly rang, it sounded like someone was sending him a message on WeChat.

He picked up his phone and glanced at the message.

WeChat Pay, 200 yuan.

Ok?

When did I buy anything on my phone?

He clicked into WeChat Pay and took a look.

Zhou Yu's Mysterious Shop, -200 yuan.

"..."

Zhou Yu suddenly realized what kind of money he had spent to buy this body-strengthening agent.

What the hell!

Isn't this my own money?

How did you link it to my WeChat Pay account?

Zhou Yu quickly opened his WeChat Wallet, and sure enough, 200 yuan was missing, leaving only a pitiful 0.73 yuan.

Thankfully, it was just right, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to buy it.

"Holy crap..." Zhou Yu's face turned pale. Who would have thought that this thing would deduct money from his real life?

As a student, I don't have much money to begin with, why did I have to pull this stunt?

and many more……

In other words, as long as you have money, you can improve your spiritual energy and physical constitution?

Zhou Yu suddenly calmed down.

For most people, the opportunity to awaken spiritual energy is something that money can't buy.

Many wealthy people have tried to use money to help their children awaken their spiritual energy, but to no avail. In the end, they can only start a new character with their wives or lovers.

Money is an external thing, and it is meant to be spent, but how to spend it meaningfully is the real question.

Now, the problem facing Zhou Yu is quite obvious.

Krypton Gold!

You can become stronger by spending money!

As long as you're willing to spend a fortune on in-game purchases, you can become the strongest in the world!

Awakening to spiritual energy is probably not a problem at all!

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu jumped up from the sofa and went to his mother.

"mom."

Zhou's mother, who was applying safflower oil to her wrist, looked up at him and said, "Let go."

Zhou Yu frowned and said, "I want six hundred yuan."

Zhou's mother: "Take away the young master?"

Zhou Yu: "Six hundred."

"What do you need six hundred dollars for?"

"Use it to awaken spiritual energy!"

Zhou Yu wasn't lying, because he really could become stronger by spending money, but his mother thought that was just nonsense.

"Awakening spiritual energy for six hundred yuan? What about all those international billionaires and aristocratic families? Tell me! Are you going to go online again? What kind of internet costs six hundred yuan?"

Damn it, why don't you believe me?

Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, then revealed a hearty, world-weary smile.

Actually, I want to go out for a foot massage.

boom!

Zhou Zaozao took out her phone and filmed Zhou Yu being kicked away by her mother, then posted the video on her WeChat Moments.

Caption: "What a beautiful day, except for my brother."
