After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1063: Money Flies Away

After finishing his sentence, Ancestral Master raised his chin high, waiting for Zhouzhou’s admiring gaze.

One minute passed, but Zhouzhou’s expression remained unchanged, and she continued to wait for him to elaborate.

Two minutes passed, and Zhouzhou’s eyes started to show signs of confusion.

Five minutes passed, and Zhouzhou’s expression turned clearer.

Ten minutes passed, and Zhouzhou yawned, standing up from the ground and preparing to leave.

Ancestral Master quickly grabbed her and pressed her back down on the cushion. He sat cross-legged next to her, his statue standing tall behind him.

He poked Zhouzhou’s arm and smugly said, "Didn’t expect that, did you? You must be jealous of my intelligence."

Zhouzhou thought for a moment, then shook her head and replied honestly, "I’m not jealous of Ancestral Master’s intelligence, but I admire your confidence."

She stared at him with a serious expression and earnestly asked, "Ancestral Master, how did you make even a useless sentence sound so impressive?"

He had made such a big mystery out of something so simple, and she thought he was going to say something important, but in the end, was it just this?

Wasn’t that just nonsense?

Doing big things earns more Merits; doing small things earns fewer Merits.

It’s a very normal thing.

Even a three-year-old would understand this principle.

She didn’t know why he thought it was so impressive. He had made it sound like some kind of secret, but it was actually obvious. She had learned her lesson — don’t expect too much from Ancestral Master!

Zhouzhou shook her head and sighed deeply, looking at him with pity in her eyes.

It was over. Ancestral Master had gone mad over Merits.

Seeing that she didn’t give him the reaction he expected, Ancestral Master was stunned for a moment. Then he noticed her little expression, and his face darkened. "No, no, think about what I said again," he urged.

"Look, when you do good deeds, like helping elders cross the road, the Merits you earn are almost negligible."

"And when you exchange the money you earned for Merits, it doesn’t really amount to much."

"And the Merits you earn from casually saving someone are different from the one you earn when saving Qiu Guoliang. Have you ever wondered why?"

Zhouzhou thought carefully for a moment before replying, "Is it because the earlier ones were embezzled by Ancestral Master?"

Ancestral Master: "..."

Unfilial disciple!

Seeing that he was enraged, Zhouzhou chuckled mischievously and quickly smoothed things over, "Ancestral Master, you want to say that different things and different people earn different amounts of Merits, right?"

Hearing this, Ancestral Master’s expression softened, and he nodded, "Yes."

That was what he meant. The little girl had clearly understood it already, but she was just messing with him on purpose.

This little rascal!

Thinking this, he couldn’t help but glare at Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou innocently smiled at him. Who told him to bully her first? She was just a bit petty. A little teasing wasn’t too much, right?

However, there was some truth in what Ancestral Master had said.

She thought back to when she saved the Heart Treasure and the time she treated the plague in the southwest. Both had earned a lot of Merits from the Merits Rain.

Also, dealing with big bad guys had earned her quite a bit too.

For example, this time dealing with Brian had given her a decent reward.

But wait — they hadn’t just dealt with Brian this time.

Suddenly, something clicked in her mind. Her eyes brightened. "So, it’s because of my Master Uncle?"

Ye Lingfeng had already acknowledged Qiu Guoliang as his master, so Zhouzhou should refer to him as Master Uncle.

"Exactly!" Ancestral Master snapped his fingers. "Every person has one life, but the value they create with that life is different. For people like Qiu Guoliang, who have made great contributions and impacted the world, they’ve benefited many, so the Merits you earn from helping them are greater."

"If you were just an ordinary person, the Merits you earn might be so small that they’re practically invisible. You’d need to accumulate quite a bit just to get a little gold dot."

Zhouzhou nodded thoughtfully, understanding his point.

Ancestral Master looked at the Merits on himself and, with a glint in his eyes, added in a somewhat enticing tone, "Zhouzhou, don’t you want to get rid of your bad luck with money as soon as possible?"

Zhouzhou nodded seriously, "Of course I do!"

"But there aren’t many people like Master Uncle. There’s only my dad. He’s fine and doesn’t need me to save him."

Plus, if she had to trade her dad’s safety for Merits, she wouldn’t do it.

She wanted to make money to help them live well, but she couldn’t make a trade-off like that.

Ancestral Master understood this, and he didn’t want Ye Lingfeng to get into trouble either, or else Zhouzhou would go crazy.

But he wasn’t talking about her father.

"There aren’t many great people like that, but there are plenty of big bad guys. They do great harm, and taking them down is also a big source of Merits. It’s a win-win situation."

Zhouzhou nodded, "That’s true, but where do I find so many big bad guys?"

Ancestral Master: "You don’t need to look. Aren’t there some already available?"

As he spoke, he winked and gave her a meaningful look.

Zhouzhou almost instantly understood who he was referring to.

Who else could be more suitable than the notorious criminals on the wanted list?

Eliminating them would bring in both money and Merits — double the benefit.

But...

"My dad won’t let me go after them. He won’t even let me go online!" Zhouzhou pouted.

When she mentioned this, her cheeks puffed up in frustration.

It was too much. It was really too much!

"Ancestral Master, do you know how to use a computer?" Zhouzhou asked.

Hearing this, Ancestral Master looked down at his beard, squinted at her, and scoffed, "Do you think I’m someone who knows how to use these modern gadgets?"

He was an old man! How could he possibly know how to use something as fashionable as a computer?

Zhouzhou glared at him, "Then what are you talking about? You’re useless!"

They didn’t even know the list, and even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to find any information about those criminals.

It was just like knowing that there was money in the bank but not being able to take it out.

Even if they knew, it would be useless.

With that thought, she cupped her cheeks and sighed deeply.

She wanted to get rid of her bad luck with money too, but what could she do?

Ancestral Master, with a mysterious air, said, "Who said there’s no way?"

Hearing this, Zhouzhou immediately turned her head and perked up her ears. "What way?"

Ancestral Master said, "Do you remember when your dad and the others had a meeting on the island?"

Of course she remembered. It was the meeting where they discussed making her training plan.

The next day, when she saw her father’s strange expression, she felt something was off, but he wouldn’t tell her.

"Did something happen?" Zhouzhou asked. If there was nothing important, Ancestral Master wouldn’t have said this at this time.

Ancestral Master replied, "Zhao Xinghua suggested that you should go out and practice, and the targets are the criminals on the wanted list."

Zhouzhou’s eyes immediately brightened. If she was given a mission, she wouldn’t have to worry about researching information. She could just focus on fighting.

She’d get to fight, make money, and earn Merits — three birds with one stone!

But then Ancestral Master added, "Don’t get your hopes up. Your dad rejected it. He doesn’t agree."

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s heart instantly sank, as if her money and Merits had flown away.

She touched her chest, her face scrunched in pain.

Looking at her dramatic expression, Ancestral Master couldn’t help but laugh.

"Stop acting in front of me. If you have any talent, go act in front of your dad."
