Chu Tian asked this question, and even he himself found it hard to believe.
However, Cheng Xin Di Yi Ling Ling Qi directly nodded.
Chu Tian was almost so shocked his jaw dropped.
"Mao Shi, this kid is amazing! I'll give him a raise when I get back!"
Chu Tian beamed with joy.
"What did you say?" Cheng Xin Di Yi Ling Ling Qi asked.
Because Chu Tian had muttered his words softly.
He hadn't heard clearly.
"Uh... nothing, well... let's leave it at that! Get the gold coin acquisition done as soon as possible."
After Chu Tian finished speaking, Cheng Xin Di Yi Ling Ling Qi nodded strangely.
But he didn't press further.
After hanging up the video call.
Chu Tian began to laugh unrestrainedly.
Taking in Mao Shi back then was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Mao Shi was his enemy in his previous life.
When he met him, Mao Shi was at his lowest point.
Chu Tian truly never expected that this one decision would change Mao Shi's life trajectory.
It even made Mao Shi completely loyal to him.
Moreover, being a hands-off boss like him was incredibly comfortable.
In a year and a half, Mao Shi's achievements far surpassed his previous life.
He never expected this fellow to reach the level of God-Tier Engineering.
You must know that he was a hidden profession, and his engineering was Demonized Engineering.
Furthermore, this fellow had also expanded his shop.
Originally, under Huang Xue Yi, he was just making a living in the Northern War Zone.
He hadn't even reached God-Tier Engineering.
After five years, he would only be at Expert level.
But even Expert level was considered rare.
Now, not only had he opened Chu Tian's shops across Dragon Country.
He had also reached God-Tier in his own crafting.
Although Chu Tian was no longer worried about money.
But who would complain about having too much money?
After laughing wildly for a while.
The system voice prompted.
[Ding... System notification: You have received an email in your mailbox!]
Chu Tian was now standing next to the auction house entrance, where there was a mailbox.
However, too many people were buying items in the auction house.
Everyone would retrieve their items from this mailbox.
Thus, the popularity was naturally immense.
Chu Tian had been standing here for half a day.
He had long since pushed his way to the mailbox.
Once he got here, he stood still.
Just waiting for this email.
He knew it was from Cheng Xin Di Yi Ling Ling Qi.
It should be the first installment, over two million gold coins.
However, he had been standing here for half a day, and many people couldn't push through, leading to complaints from those behind him.
But there was nothing they could do if Chu Tian didn't move.
At most, they could complain a few times, and even insults would get them caught in the safety zone.
As long as the other party called the guards, those who insulted would be confined for several hours.
All would be considered disturbing public order.
Finally receiving the email and opening it.
Chu Tian looked at the golden gold coins.
2.78 million...
It was more than Chu Tian had expected.
Taking the gold coins into his possession, he checked the gold coins in his backpack yesterday.
2,788,123!
He had 8123 gold coins in his own backpack.
With these gold coins, he first turned and left the crowd.
He directly entered the auction house.
With so much money, he had to splurge a little.
After entering the auction house, he didn't look at the equipment auctions.
Instead, he directly opened the materials tab.
Various ores, various materials.
A dazzling array, far more than the monotonous goods in the early days of the Heavenly Dao world a year and a half ago.
He opened it, looked, and thought for a moment.
He first bought some ores he was familiar with.
Then he turned and walked out.
Because the equipment he was currently wearing.
Although the level and quality were not high.
The skill attributes they carried were what he desired.
These items were all carefully selected by him.
Suitable for combat and for handling feel.
So Chu Tian didn't plan to replace his equipment directly.
Instead, he intended to upgrade these pieces.
In the Heavenly Dao world, if an item had excellent attributes, you could choose to upgrade it, but the upgrade cost would definitely be far higher than buying a new piece of equipment.
Chu Tian believed that his current equipment carried functional attributes.
These were attributes that ranked high in his previous life.
However, he didn't have a clear idea of how many materials would be needed to upgrade these items.
He hadn't thought about this after buying some things just now.
He planned to go to the forging room first.
But as he ambled towards the forging room.
He suddenly remembered that his clone was a God-Tier Blacksmith!
However, he didn't know how far his clone's blacksmithing level had progressed after being offline for so long.
In the past, his clone was always controlled by Dao Tian. He didn't know if Dao Tian had used the clone during this time.
With this thought, he directly opened the clone system.
He checked the location of his clone and found it was in a map he didn't recognize.
The map displayed the Palace of Mystery.
Moreover, the clone was still moving.
"Huh? Dao Tian... is that you?"
Chu Tian was somewhat surprised. He hadn't communicated with Dao Tian in a long time.
Seeing the clone moving, it must be controlled by Dao Tian.
"Yo... you finally remembered to log in! Don't bother me, I'll find you after I finish my quest!"
Dao Tian gave him such a response.
However, Chu Tian smiled.
A sense of familiarity arose from the bottom of his heart.
The old fellow's voice was still as annoying as ever.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. By the way, what's your blacksmithing level? I want to upgrade my equipment!"
Chu Tian lazily asked Dao Tian again.
"I know... I'll give you a surprise when I finish my quest!"
He replied mysteriously.
"Alright, how long will it take?"
Chu Tian pressed.
"If you don't bother me, it'll be very quick. Just wait, it could be as fast as half an hour, or as slow as three or four hours!"
After saying this, Dao Tian fell silent.
Chu Tian rolled his eyes.
Three or four hours... what should he do?
He was a bit unaccustomed to logging into the Heavenly Dao world this time.
With money in his hands, he didn't even want to go treasure hunting.
Moreover, his current equipment was truly too shabby.
He couldn't do anything he wanted.
Gao Kai and the others weren't online either.
He really didn't know what to do.
With this thought, worry surfaced in his mind again.
Just as he was about to find Mao Shi, he believed the kid would be very surprised by his appearance.
However, as soon as this thought arose, the system notification sounded.
[Ding... System notification: Someone is approaching from outside!]
"Huh?"
Chu Tian was stunned and quickly opened the all-round surveillance.
As soon as he opened it, he first saw the dark tin houses surrounding him.
However, his virtual pod was a high-end item.
It came with thermal infrared.
He saw several people climbing the stairs to the rooftop.
Looking around, there were a total of six.
One of them was at the very back, supporting his waist and legs.
He seemed to be out of breath.
The people in front were standing there waiting for him.
"What are these people coming up for?"
Chu Tian was unsure of their intentions, but since they were climbing to the rooftop, they would naturally see his dilapidated house.
Besides this dilapidated house, there was nothing else on the entire rooftop.
So they must be coming for this place.
With this thought, he immediately went offline.
He pushed open the door of the virtual pod and walked out of the tin house.
He happened to see the group of people coming up.
The one who came up last was naturally the person Chu Tian had seen on the infrared thermal system.
This fellow was not tall, but he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes.
The other six people were also dressed well.
However, it couldn't hide their sense of inferiority.
On both sides of the stairs, three people each stood in position.
As if to welcome the short man behind them.
After the fellow came up, he fanned his face with his hand.
"What kind of dump is this, it's so high and tiring!"
In fact, the rooftop was only six stories high, yet this fellow was exhausted like a dog.
"Are you alright?" Chu Tian asked them indifferently.
"Huh... someone's here?"
When the fellow saw Chu Tian, his expression showed no surprise.
But he spoke such words.
Anyone could tell he was faking it.
He probably knew someone was up here, which was why he came.
Chu Tian felt disgusted. Such a hypocritical person, dressed in a refined manner.
Yet exuding a hooligan's aura.
"Since you knew someone was here, why are you acting like a big shot?"
Chu Tian didn't give him any face and retorted.
"Huh?" The fellow was stunned for a moment.
The other six people all glared at Chu Tian angrily.
The next moment.
The short fellow, his face changed by Chu Tian's words.
"Damn it, do you know who you're talking to?"
Chu Tian curled his lips even further.
"Are people like this supposed to communicate the same way?"
"You idiot, who are you calling an idiot?" Facing people like this, Chu Tian's hooligan nature kicked in.
"An idiot is calling you!" The fellow blurted out.
"Oh... I see!"
As Chu Tian said this, the fellow also realized.
His face immediately turned the color of an eggplant.
"You dare to play tricks on me! I just came up to have some fun, I heard someone lives on the rooftop, and I wanted to see what kind of broke bum it was! But, I'm telling you... you're not walking off here intact today!"
The fellow revealed the reason for his ascent.
However, upon hearing this, a scene flashed through Chu Tian's mind.
Suddenly, he remembered that this sentence seemed very familiar.
He thought carefully.
Yes... it should be around this time. In his previous life, this fellow had come here too.
But he had only arrived not long before then.
And his legs had been amputated, and he was lying in that tin house.
He had only heard this sentence, and later Zhao Lei had dealt with this fellow.
He hadn't been involved at all.
Thinking about it now... it should be around this time.
Unexpectedly, he had come again in this life.
It seemed that although he had changed the life trajectories of many people, and even the timeline,
Many things had not changed because of him.
"Heh heh!"
Chu Tian smiled after hearing what he said.
"Just because of them?"
Chu Tian pointed at the six people beside him.
"Beat him to a pulp. He's just a homeless guy who can't even break a tin plate. It doesn't matter if he's beaten to death!"
The fellow, seeing Chu Tian's arrogance, gave orders to his subordinates.
And they were death orders.
Hearing this, Chu Tian's eyes narrowed.
His divine sense, which he had put away long ago, was instantly released.
After sleeping here for a night, he had originally wanted to live as an ordinary person for a few days.
He didn't expect to encounter this fellow.
As his divine sense spread out, the world became clear.
A faint trace of blood appeared on the bodies of those big men, accompanied by a gray radiance, and the short fellow was even enveloped in gray light.
"It seems you owe a lot of blood debts. Today, I shall act on behalf of heaven!"
He could see things on these people that he couldn't see before.
After the trial in the Divine Sea Palace, his divine soul power had grown during the baptism.
Upon returning, he found that he could see the aura emanating from some people.
Everyone's aura was different. The blood-red and gray interwoven aura of these people before him.
Was the negative energy left by those they had harmed, whose hands had been stained with blood.
People enveloped by such an aura would inevitably encounter accidents sooner or later.
When the concentration reached its peak, they might die a violent death in the streets.
