Chapter 756: The First +5 Little Monster

Chu Xia, who knew her best friend’s personality well, knew that she was definitely up to no good, so she wanted to break free and escape.

However, her best friend knew Chu Xia better than anyone else, which was why she had locked onto Chu Xia’s neck to prevent her from escaping.

After “coaxing” Chu Xia back to their neighborhood, her best friend said, “Be honest and tell me how did you hook up with Su Yang? When did you manage to hook up with such an eligible bachelor?”

Chu Xia said excitedly, “What do you mean by hook up?! We’re in a normal relationship, okay?!”

Her best friend said, “Okay… Okay. Fine, It’s a normal relationship. So tell me, how did you two meet?”

Chu Xia’s head was locked under her armpit by her best friend. She said helplessly, “I told you before. We were classmates. Then, on the first day of school, he asked me if I needed help. After that, I became the group secretary and helped him skip classes from time to time. After a while, we became close.

“After that, he discovered my secret and got closer to me. In the end… we ended up together.”

Her best friend said, “That simple?”

Chu Xia nodded hard. “That simple, really.”

Her best friend was a little upset as she said, “Oh my God! Am I only one strange condition away from becoming the female lead myself?”

She thought about it and muttered to herself at the same time, “Now that I think of it… It seems like every female lead in every TV series has the same character setup as well! They also have all kinds of flaws!

“Gosh! Is it that hard for a normal girl to become the female lead?”

After lamenting, her best friend lowered her head and whispered into Chu Xia’s ear, “By the way, I saw that every news report predicted that Su Yang’s net worth is over 20 billion yuan. Is that true?”

Chu Xia quickly covered her best friend’s mouth. “Don’t run your mouth away. If Su Yang hears you saying that, he’ll buy off your entire house.”

When she heard this, Chu Xia’s best friend was speechless.

‘This girl is so arrogant!’

With that thought in mind, her best friend began to tickle Chu Xia while holding her down.

Thus, the two bickered until they reached Chu Xia’s best friend’s house before it finally ended. Throughout the whole journey, it was filled with laughter.

Before she left, her best friend finally stopped fooling around and called out to Chu Xia seriously, “Chu Xia.”

“Yes?” Chu Xia looked at her.

Her best friend said seriously, “In the past, I was ignorant and always bullied you. Now, I’ve seen how rich your boyfriend is. Can we be best friends again?”

Chu Xia was speechless.

She knew that she had been played again, hence she cried out in anger and threw herself at her best friend as they began a new round of play fighting…

…

After helping Chu Xia “testify” and regain her “sovereignty”, Su Yang returned to the villa.

Perhaps it was because Su Yang had driven home that time, there was a sound caused by the car along the way. Hence, the moment Su Yang stopped the car, Pan Zhaodi walked through the garden to the garage.

When he saw Pan Zhaodi, Su Yang asked as he locked the car, “What’s the matter, Sister Zhaodi? Is something wrong?”

Pan Zhaodi nodded and said, “I have some matters to attend to these few days.”

Su Yang waved at her. “Let’s talk in the villa.”

Then, the two of them walked into the villa with Su Yang in the front.

When she sat down in the living room of the villa, Pan Zhaodi took out a stack of documents and placed them in front of Su Yang. “Assistant Jia has been coming to the villa to look for you everyday, but you weren’t around. So, he left behind a lot of documents.

“I’ve taken a look at it, and most of them are invitations from the media. They wanted to know your thoughts about the technology you showed at the press conference, and if there’s anything else you could reveal.

“Other than that, the relevant departments have also sent people to ask about the situation. In fact, several big shots in Shanghai would like to meet you.”

As Su Yang took off his suit, he asked, “Are they all people within Shanghai?”

Pan Zhaodi flipped through a few pages of information, then nodded and said, “Yes, they’re all from Shanghai.”

She continued to explain, “Here’s Assistant Jia’s analysis. She thinks that this is just the first step, so it will only be people within the country who would contact you to understand the situation. It’s only after this that the country will take the next step. Furthermore, Shanghai’s standards aren’t that low actually.”

‘That makes sense.’

As Su Yang hung up his suit, he said, “I won’t reply for now. We’ll talk more about it after I make a phone call to understand the situation.”

“Understood.” Pan Zhaodi took out a pen and wrote it down before continuing to explain the company’s other matters.

Overall, in the two days that Su Yang had disappeared, there were many people who wanted to contact him, AT, one of the two big shots within the country, was only one of them. Apart from them, there were various technology companies, media companies, relevant departments, and even foreign companies, as well as government officials, had sent him invitations as well.

As for Jiadian Group, because Zhao Licheng was in charge of the internal affairs of the corporation, there were a few people leading the team. Hence, the situation at the company was stable. Furthermore, Su Yang’s press conference had boosted their morale.

After Su Yang understood the situation, he asked Pan Zhaodi to stay for supper before returning to his room.

When Su Yang returned to his room and looked at the time, he realized that it was only 11pm.

‘Then again… Jiang Yan’s a night owl who frequently goes to nightclubs, so she shouldn’t be asleep yet.’ At that thought, Su Yang picked up his phone and called her.

“Du… Du… Du…”

After the call connected, Jiang Yan’s cold voice came from the other end. “Hello.”

Su Yang said, “Young Master Jiang, how’s the matter progressing?”

Jiang Yan let off a grunt in acknowledgement, causing Su Yang to… Not know how to reply.

Jiang Yan was a cold person to begin with. However, a few days ago, before Su Yang disappeared, he gave her another call to threaten her. Thus, this made Jiang Yan become even colder towards Su Yang.

Actually, Su Yang did not actually threaten her that much. Basically, the gist of the conversation was that the entire world was watching Jiadian Group, so Su Yang could not bear the pressure and needed Jiang Yan to share the burden. Hence, Su Yang’s preposition was that he would deal with overseas matters. Apart from that, he would also deal with the domestic matters from behind the scenes, but the Jiangs would have to hold the fort on the surface.

Initially, Jiang Yan rejected Su Yang’s preposition. After all, she had watched the press conference and knew how big the impact of Su Yang’s incident had caused. Hence, she knew that the country would definitely step in, which she could not defend against.

However, Su Yang did not give Jiang Yan a chance to reject him and told her directly that if the country came looking for him, he would say that he was just the Jiangs’s proxy and that everything was done by them. After that, he would escape with his technology. After all, the Jiangs had some shares within Jiadian Group, so there was no way they would be in the clear.

Hence, Jiang Yan was shocked by Su Yang’s shamelessness.

In fact, she even wanted to fight it out with Su Yang.

However, after Su Yang’s “threat”… He came around and gave Jiang Yan an enticement.

He said that as long as they could survive this wave, his company would be able to develop at a huge rate. When that happens, not only would they be able to reap their harvest from investors around the world, they would be able to earn the common people’s money on a global scale as well. After that, they would be able to lead the country to prosperity.

As Jiang Yan thought about Apple’s current market value. With USD 1 trillion, it would be no problem for Jiadian Technology to compete against Apple’s market value. By then, her 2% share would be worth over 20 billion yuan.

Furthermore, because the Jiangs would have supported such an impressive company. They would have greatly contributed to the country, which would cause their authority in the country to increase greatly.

Because of this, Jiang Yan finally agreed.

In fact, that was the very day that Jiang Yan had spoken the most since they first met…

Perhaps it was because she talked too much that day, Jiang Yan only said one word to Su Yang today.

However, Su Yang did not get angry. After all, the Jiangs were standing in front to shield him from the oncoming calamity. Since he had gotten a bargain, he should pretend to be obedient.

Hence, Su Yang hung up the phone after sending Jiang Yan his “pleasantries”.

On top of that, Su Yang was relieved after hearing Jiang Yan’s confirmation.

‘Now then, there’s no need to worry about the relevant departments now. I’ll send Zhao Licheng to talk to the big shots tomorrow and see what they want then.

‘What I need to do now is to increase the production rate of my glass phones as much as possible. I need to save up more stocks before I sell them off.

‘After all, only by selling the glass phones will I be able to spread my “virtual space locations” across the world, allowing me to navigate my way across the world.

‘Moreover, only by selling it can I earn coins and influence more people.’

Actually, Su Yang had already triggered his fifth Gold Mission.

As expected, his mission objective at that time was to influence 10 million people.

With every Gold Mission triggered, the number of people Su Yang would have to influence would increase by an order of magnitude. Hence, Su Yang felt that sooner or later, not only would he have to affect the 7.3 billion people around the world, he would also have to influence these 7.3 billion to give birth to 2.7 billion children. Subsequently, he would have to influence these children in order for him to complete his mission…

‘From the looks of it, I’m going to be the one who will push for higher birth rates, and even become a babycare specialist for that matter.’

While complaining, Su Yang entered the virtual space.

In the virtual space, all the other little monsters were asleep. Only Janet was still waiting for Su Yang in the living room.

Seeing Su Yang coming over, Janet quickly got up and knelt down on one knee. “Master.”

Su Yang waved his hand. “Stand up, you don’t have to be so polite, we’re family after all.”

“Understood.” Janet stood up and walked over to Su Yang.

Su Yang then patted him and got him to sit on the sofa while Su Yang sat opposite him.

After sitting down, Su Yang looked at Janet and asked, “Janet, when you were +3, you said that you hoped that I would be the first to give you +4. However, I end up not doing it at the time, so do you blame me for it?”

Janet quickly shook his head “No, I don’t.”

[Eye of Origins] judged it as. [Sincere].

Su Yang then asked, “Why?”

Janet got up and knelt down on one knee again. Then, he raised his head and looked at Su Yang with a firm gaze as he said, “I’m grateful for whatever you do.

“I am your subject, so everything I have and am now is all thanks to you.”

Su Yang looked at Janet and did not speak for a long time.

After a while, he laughed. “Haha, I really should have Little Hus neutralize this personality of yours.”

Then, Su Yang coughed. “I really forgot about it at that time. So, I’ll compensate you this time by making you the first one to be +5.”

Hearing this, Janet seemed pleasantly surprised as he looked at Su Yang.

When he saw the smile on Su Yang’s face, he could no longer hold it in and thanked him. “Thank you, Master! Thank you!”

Hence, Su Yang stood up and helped him up on his feet. “Let’s go outside. I’m worried that the castle will explode.”

“Okay.” Janet stood up and followed Su Yang out of the castle.

The two of them walked through the pastures, which had completely covered up the virtual space.

After walking for a while, Su Yang said to Janet, “Janet.”

“Yes, Master.”

Su Yang replied, “I remember that you awakened your innate talent and wanted to lead your race on the path of evolution, am I right?”

Janet nodded. “Yes. My instincts make me want to lead all the sharks on Earth to grow.”

Su Yang looked at the moon in the sky. As he walked, he said, “After you’ve received this point, you’re free to go ahead.”

Janet was shocked. “Master?!”

Su Yang raised his hand and stopped him. He then said earnestly, “I didn’t let you go previously because I really needed someone to protect me at the time, and you’re the most important person to me in terms of your strength.

“So, I had no choice but to keep you with me selfishly.

“Now, we have more and more family members. Spirit Building has been guarding the virtual space all this time, able to support whenever needed. Aside from that, I’ve also gained the ability to protect myself.”

As he said that, Su Yang raised both of his hands, palms facing inwards. Instantly, blue electric currents appeared between his fingers.

There were dozens of electric currents, each as thick as a wire. They crackled between his fingers.

Janet looked at Su Yang’s palm in surprise.

Then… Su Yang raised his hand. Boom! A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm fell from the sky and hit the top of a fruit tree!

With a crack, the fruit tree was split in half from the middle, emitting black smoke.

Su Yang lowered his hand. Under the moonlight, his clothes fluttered like an immortal.

Janet was stunned when he saw this.

Su Yang turned to look at him and smiled. “That was the Thunder Palm. What do you think?”

Janet’s face was filled with excitement. “Your skills are unparalleled, Master! You’re the Supreme One across the entire Jianghu!”

Su Yang was rendered speechless.

‘Oi, oi… You’ve gone overboard already!

‘I was just bragging!

‘Aren’t you being too supportive already?!

‘Furthermore, the Supreme One across the entire Jianghu? You’ve been reading too many Xianxia novels already!’

Su Yang coughed and waved his hand, trying to hide his embarrassment. “Let’s go. Time to give you a point.”

On the way, even a cold person like Janet could not help but be curious. He opened his mouth several times, but in the end, he closed it.

Although Su Yang walked in front, he clearly knew Janet’s curiosity like the back of his hand. Therefore, he explained, “I obtained the [Lightning Battery] not long ago and have been carrying it with. So, I can control lightning and electricity.

“I’m using most of it to produce glass phones, leaving only one battery with me for self defense.

“With this battery, a normal person won’t be able to get close to me.

“So, after you’ve received this point, you can go ahead and search for your race without any worries.”

Hearing this, Janet knelt on one knee again. “Thank you for granting me my wish, Master!”

Su Yang sighed and turned around to help him up. “I’ve told you many times that we’re family, so you don’t have to kneel to me.

“Other than not having to worry about me, you don’t have to miss home.”

Then, Su Yang could tell that Janet was not able to understand what he had just said due to the latter’s simple-mindedness.

Hence, Su Yang patted his pants pocket. “Now that everyone has a glass phone, you can come home anytime when you’re tired.

“Find a hidden corner to hide the phone away and come home to rest. Once you’ve rested enough, you can exit through the phone and continue again. A perfect cycle.

Su Yang’s words finally dispelled Janet’s last bit of worry. He nodded his head vigorously, and his eyes turned moist. “Yes, Master!”

After comforting his subordinate, Su Yang brought him to the beach.

Since he did not know how shocking the scene would be when he became +5, Su Yang could only try his best to keep Janet away from the castle.

Arriving at the reef by the beach, Su Yang gave Janet a few more instructions before having him sit down cross-legged. After that, Su Yang turned on the system and prepared to add the fifth point for Janet.
