Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 196 - 195 Sheep Raising Wealth Guide

"Can anyone actually believe this?"

As this thought popped into Xiao Pei’s mind, she was already waving downstairs and saying, "Zhou Bai! I’ll lend to you! I have something for collateral!" After speaking, she abruptly covered her mouth: ’Why would I do this? It’s clearly a clumsy lie; why would I agree to lend to him? Could it be that I... can’t bear to see him go hungry?’

Her expression changed instantly as she looked at Zhou Bai.

At the same time, the teachers in front of Zhou Bai—or rather, the Heavenly Demon infiltrators—had already started queuing up to hand over their point cards to Zhou Bai.

"Don’t rush, everyone! One at a time," Zhou Bai controlled the scene and said, "There is money to lend to everyone; don’t worry!"

From behind the small garden in the distance, Qian Wangsun, accompanied by Zuo Dao, stealthily observed the commotion at Zhou Bai’s location. Because they were too far away, they couldn’t hear the content of the conversation. However, they could clearly see the sight of the teachers continuously stuffing their point cards into Zhou Bai’s hands.

Zuo Dao frowned and said, "What are they doing?"

"This is Zhou Bai blatantly abusing his own powers," Qian Wangsun angrily said, "This is a vicious cycle of borrowing money!"

Zuo Dao was puzzled: "What kind of nonsense is that?"

"What do you know?" Qian Wangsun quickly retorted, "It’s because Zhou Bai is too handsome, so people can’t refuse his requests. Once he starts asking to borrow money, everyone agrees because of his good looks."

Zuo Dao: "???"

"Don’t look at me like that," Qian Wangsun said, "I didn’t believe it at first either. But after observing for over a month, I’ve found that the kid really borrowed money without using any Taoist arts or deceptions, taking from everyone regardless of gender, and he didn’t even spare Xiao Pei."

With a serious expression, Qian Wangsun continued, "After eliminating all other possibilities, the most incredible answer is the only one we must accept."

"Nutcase," Zuo Dao couldn’t be bothered with Qian Wangsun and started to walk away.

However, Qian Wangsun hadn’t forgotten why he had brought Zuo Dao here, and quickly followed him saying, "You’re just going to leave? Aren’t you curious how many points Zhou Bai has borrowed? I counted at least 12 teachers; imagine how many points that amounts to?"

"With so many points potentially exchanged for supernatural food and cultivation materials, do you think you can still catch up with Zhou Bai, Zuo Dao?"

Zuo Dao’s expression shifted slightly, and he halted his steps.

Qian Wangsun whispered next to him, "Aren’t you considering opening your family’s secret cache now?"

Zuo Dao snorted and quickened his pace away, "Stop thinking about my family’s secrets. I won’t open the cache until I reach the fifth realm."

Qian Wangsun sighed, about to persuade him further, when suddenly his face changed, he shouted a warning, and sprinted to Zuo Dao’s side, pushing him aside.

Boom!

A blast of Primordial Spirit power descended from the sky, piercing right through where Qian Wangsun and Zuo Dao had just been standing.

With a sharp crack, the ground beneath their feet shattered layer by layer.

A cold voice reached their ears.

"A first realm Gong Tu actually managed to react? You’re quite good."

Zuo Dao’s gaze darkened as he looked at the man who had just appeared.

It was a man with short hair, looking somewhat similar to him but more mature and tall.

The first thing Qian Wangsun did was turn to Zuo Dao and ask, "Is this your relative? I thought your whole family was gone?"

Upon hearing this, Zuo Dao glared fiercely at Qian Wangsun, then continued to address the man, "His name is Zuo Lu; he used to be my brother."

"Brother?" Qian Wangsun was surprised, then realized and asked, "What do you mean ’used to be’?"

The young man named Zuo Lu smiled and said to them, "Because I was kicked out of the family. As for why, it’s because they thought I betrayed them to the Heavenly Court and gave all the family’s trivial spirit refinement stuff to the Heavenly Court, that I was a lackey to the immortals, so they unequivocally banished me."

Zuo Dao sneered, "You sacrificed honor for wealth, for training resources, willing to be a lackey for the diagrams provided by the Heavenly Court; the Zuo family has no use for someone like you."

Zuo Lu looked at Zuo Dao with disdain, "Naive. What do you know? Humans are no match for the Heavenly Demons. To survive this war, our only path is to rely on the immortals.

Only by relying on the immortals to help us fight the Heavenly Demons can humanity continue to survive."

With a disappointed shake of his head, Zuo Lu continued, "It seems you and those stubborn old men share the same rotten thoughts. This world is no longer human-centered.

Ever since the possibility of joining the ranks of immortals was cut off, there has been an insurmountable gap between immortals and humans, and we humans can never catch up to the immortals no matter how hard we try or how willing we are to sacrifice our lives."

"Do you understand?" Zuo Lu earnestly said, "Everything I do is to better preserve human strength."

"Lackey," Zuo Dao scoffed, "So you oppress humans to curry favor with the immortals?"

Zuo Lu exhaled and shook his head, "You’re even more stubborn than the old man, nothing good can come from talking to you." He extended his hand, his gaze icy as he stared at Zuo Dao, "Where is the key to the secret cache? Give it to me."

Zuo Dao replied, "That belongs to the Zuo family, it has nothing to do with you."

Qian Wangsun walked to Zuo Dao’s side and looked at the man in front of them, "Hey, big brother, this is Dao School. Do you really want to continue this here?"

Zuo Lu’s eyes narrowed, and a frosty light seemed to flash within them.

Just then, a voice rang out, "What’s going on? What’s everybody doing?"

It was Zhou Bai coming over, followed by a bunch of teachers still trying to stuff their point cards into his hands. At the moment, the crowd behind him made them appear numerous and powerful, which even made Zuo Lu frown slightly.

Zhou Bai brushed off a female teacher’s hand, "What are you doing? I’ll borrow in a bit; I told you there’s no rush."

With that, he looked up at Zuo Lu, "Who might this be?"

"I’m Zuo Lu, just got back from Central City, now working for the Night Army," Zuo Lu responded with a smile, "You must be Zhou Bai, right? My brother owes a lot to you."

While speaking, he glanced at Zhou Bai and the teachers behind him, then looked at Qian Wangsun and the displeased Zuo Dao, and said with a slight smile, "As for the family’s secret cache, I have no intention of giving it up. It should belong to me by rights."

Zuo Lu turned to leave, but had not taken many steps when he heard a voice.

"Brother, why not lend me 100 points?"

Zuo Lu turned around forcefully, his muscles trembling and veins bulging on his face as if he was struggling with something.
