Chapter 151: The River of Time Can Make You Laugh to Death
【While waiting, you asked the promoter a few questions.】
【How much does Du Baihua pay you for a speech?】
【The promoter was taken aback by your question, then answered honestly.】
【For a speech, the base pay is two thousand, plus a commission based on the number of people they attract.】
【If someone shows interest in the mental refinement system and starts practicing it, the promoter gets a commission of one hundred and fifty, with no cap.】
【Before you could chat much longer, a figure dressed in white suddenly appeared in front of you.】
【The moment he appeared, the man in white froze, looking at you with an expression of utter disbelief.】
【You were also a bit surprised; Wealth Shadow, who had died in the previous timeline, was alive in this one?】
【Then, under the shocked gazes of the four warriors, Wealth Shadow knelt on one knee, visibly moved.】
【Subordinate Wealth Shadow, congratulations on your return, God of Martial Arts!】
【As soon as he spoke, the four warriors were hit with intense emotion, their simple minds momentarily overwhelmed by the scene unfolding before them.】
【What’s going on?】
【Is this the God of Martial Arts who fell a few years ago?】
【The God of Martial Arts didn’t die?】
【The God of Martial Arts has been here all along?】
【Did they just offend the deity of all warriors?】
【Most importantly, their boss, the sixth-level warrior Du Baihua, is known to be a die-hard follower of the God of Martial Arts!】
【Even though Du Baihua had publicly criticized the flaws of the martial arts secret medicine system, they knew how deeply their boss revered the God of Martial Arts!】
【Even those critical comments had the strong backing of the God of Martial Arts.】
【As the God of Martial Arts once said, martial arts should be diverse and vibrant, with many schools of thought competing. If only the martial arts secret medicine system existed, what would be the point of martial arts?】
【If you spot flaws or loopholes in the martial arts secret medicine system, speak up—don’t worry about his feelings.】
【What he cares about is the growth and innovation of martial arts!】
【Anything that can give a strong boost to the development of martial arts, even if it’s criticism or insults aimed at him, he welcomes it!】
“Hah!”
Su Wen leaned back in his chair and grinned, saying, “See? That’s how open-minded I am!”
“So that narrator’s comments earlier were definitely slander!”
“What do they mean, small-minded?”
“With a mind this broad, how could I possibly be small-minded?”
Beside him, Yuan Bao nodded in agreement, saying, “Exactly, that narrator was talking nonsense!”
“But speaking of which, after this crossing of time and space, the narrator’s sharp tongue has quieted down a lot. They even used the rare ‘you’ in their earlier address.”
“So, Master, what do you think…”
“Is the narrator someone from the river of time?”
“Not sure.”
“When we’re rich enough to project everything, won’t the narrator be out of a job?”
“Exactly!”
Yuan Bao whispered, “But if we project everything, the river of time might just die laughing.”
“If the narrator really is from the river of time, they’d probably treat him like a king.”
“After all, his sharp tongue has brought in so much income for everyone.”
Su Wen: “…”
True!
Given how sharp the narrator’s tongue is, he shouldn’t spend too much on Time and Space Projection.
Money should be spent where it matters, not wasted.
“God of Martial Arts, what do you think about the Bug Spirit Clan’s situation?”
“They want to join you, and I can help them break their soul contracts.”
“Plus, there are so many Bug Spirits, especially the Evil spirit bug swarm. They’re strong in both corruption and combat. If they side with us, we could train them into a powerful force.”
Suddenly, the Star God’s voice echoed in Su Wen’s mind.
“Yeah, that’s what I was thinking.”
Su Wen replied mentally, “But I’m supposed to be dead, so it’s not really appropriate for me to show up, right?”
The Wealth God’s funeral is tomorrow; showing up now would be weird.
Besides, he can’t fully trust the Bug Spirits yet.
At least, not at this stage.
“I’m just here to give you a heads-up. If you’re thinking this way, it’ll be easier to handle.”
The Star God communicated, “Alright, don’t worry about this. I’ll take care of it.”
Su Wen nodded, “Okay!”
He trusted the Star God to handle things.
The Bug Spirit Clan, if nurtured, could indeed become a powerful force.
If what they said is true—that they followed Fate Bearers in ancient times—then they’re part of the fate system.
Their numbers are huge.
If the fate system has methods to strengthen them, they’d become a force to reckon with.
But he couldn’t shake the feeling that the Bug Spirits weren’t aligning with the Fate Bearers, but with the Wealth God!
Otherwise, why would so many Fate Bearers explore the Bug Spirit Realm every year, only bringing this up when he went there?
Hmm… before this, the Evil spirit bug swarm attacked Huaxia’s defenses.
In that sub-timeline, he probably didn’t go to the Bug Spirit Realm, right?
He hadn’t lived long enough to visit it yet.
【Wealth Shadow looked at you, as if he had a thousand things to say.】
【But he knew this wasn’t the place, so he took you and a few warriors to his secret base in the Imperial Capital.】
【There, you learned why Wealth Shadow had suddenly appeared.】
【Because of your role as the Creator of martial arts, some Path of Wealth Fate Bearers, along with Du Guowei, Du Baihua, and Gu Yang—warriors at the forefront of martial arts—had formed good relationships.】
【Coincidentally, Wealth Shadow had returned home a week ago and stayed in the Imperial Capital for a while.】
【Just moments ago, Du Baihua called him, saying a Fate Bearer had publicly kidnapped several of his subordinates and demanded he come personally, or else he’d be collecting their corpses.】
【Worried for his friend, Wealth Shadow told him not to worry and that he’d handle it.】
【But he never expected the God of Martial Arts to show up. Thankfully, he didn’t act immediately; attacking the God of Martial Arts would’ve been unforgivable.】
【Wealth Shadow even said that if the God of Martial Arts was unhappy, he’d cut ties with Du Baihua and even message other Path of Wealth Fate Bearers to do the same.】
【After all, their friendship with Du Baihua was largely because of your interest in martial arts. Otherwise, with such a big level gap, how could they be friends?】
【Listening to Wealth Shadow, you shook your head.】
【Then you told him to contact Du Baihua and have him come over.】
【You also reminded him to bring the results of his mental refinement system; you wanted to take a look.】
【On the other side of the Imperial Capital, Du Baihua was stunned when he got Wealth Shadow’s message. He quickly gathered his things and rushed to the location Wealth Shadow provided.】
