Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall, third floor, manager's office.
On the table.
It was filled with breakfast: freshly baked fierce beast meat buns, big bone soup, Vicious Beast milk, boiled beast eggs, and even large fried steaks that looked to be two or three catties.
"Eating this for breakfast?"
Qin Mu was truly surprised after seeing it.
Smiling slightly, Guo Youwei said:
"Martial Artists mainly train punching power; what they train is Divine Power. The most important way to consume energy is eating ".
"To Cultivate well, you must first eat well."
Hiss!
Of course, Qin Mu knew he had to eat well, but this was eating *too* well.
First thing in the morning, consume three catties of fierce beast meat; then dozens of beast eggs, followed by chugging several catties of beast milk.
Goodness gracious.
This meal alone would cost several thousand credit points!
No joke.
And that's if you only purchase low-tier Vicious Beast products. If it were high-tier, sorry, a single meal could cost tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
Excessive poverty really did restrict Qin Mu's imagination.
Guo Youwei glanced at Gao Xiaoliang approvingly.
Finally, something useful was done by this guy.
Qin Mu came from the tenement buildings, was poor and a child at the bottom, and did not even know what Martial Artists Cultivate!
Such a young man.
Let him be awed first, and then it would be easier talking to him.
However,
Ling Qianxue smiled with a hint of disdain: "Second-tier Vicious Beast beef and milk. Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall's food is just average. Hmm, only these eggs are decent, from a third-tier Fire-Tailed Bird."
Speaking of this,
Qin Mu still knew about it.
Vicious Beasts are classified somewhat differently from Martial Artists.
Martial artists are classified, starting from apprentice, one to nine levels.
Then there are Martial Artist Ninth Rank, Martial General Ninth Rank, Ninth-Rank Grandmaster, and finally Great Grandmaster.
Vicious Beasts do not have an apprentice level.
First to third-tier correspond to Martial Artists, fourth to sixth-tier correspond to Martial Generals, seventh to ninth-tier correspond to Grandmasters, and Super-Tier Fierce Beasts correspond to Great Grandmasters.
A third-tier Fire-Tailed Bird already possesses the power of a Martial Artist Ninth Rank. If it is a leader, then its strength could Breakthrough to fourth-tier. Heh!
She means business!
Guo Youwei had seen through the Young Miss's impure intentions at the Martial Arts Hall entrance, and now she wasn't even pretending anymore.
Clearly trying to poach him, right?
"Qin Mu, is this your classmate?"
Without waiting for Qin Mu to answer, Ling Qianxue said calmly, "Lingwu Group, Ling Qianxue!"
Oh!
No wonder.
Guo Youwei understood immediately and laughed: "So it is the second Young Miss of the Ling family. You are classmates with Qin Mu? Enrolling in Jiangcheng No. 2 High School? Haha, one of the twelve leading Groups of the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance, and I never thought that the Lingwu Group could be so friendly."
Pfft!
Seriously?
Qin Mu looked at Ling Qianxue in astonishment.
If it had another name, he may not have known it.
But the Lingwu Group is one of Jiangcheng's three major Group companies.
And the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance is a super trade Alliance covering the whole Dragon Star, arguably one of Dragon Star's strongest forces.
At least a third of all the commercial business on Dragon Star goes through the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance!
Rich second generation?
No!
That should be super rich second generation.
Jiangcheng No.2 High School is only an ordinary martial arts school, not a school for the second generation of rich people to attend.
It's not even a school where the children of Martial Artists should go.
Guo Youwei was right, it was Ling Qianxue who had been hiding her strength!
Alas! Ling Qianxue saw Qin Mu's eyes and knew that Guo Youwei's single sentence had shattered her image into dust. She was clearly trying to help out of good intentions, and recruit him at the same time, but now it seemed like she was deliberately showing favoritism.
"Qin Mu."
"Attending No. 2 High School was a family requirement, and personally, I thought it was quite good. As for recruiting you, I just was afraid that you'd sign a slave contract again without understanding."
Ling Qianxue said frankly:
"Your Cultivation surged yesterday, five levels in one night; it's highly likely that you've Awakened Mental power."
"I'm guessing, I don't have a definite grasp."
"If you really were a Mentalist, the contract of Lingwu Group absolutely would be the most cost-effective."
"Even if you're not a Mentalist, it doesn't matter. I will secure the most favorable contract for you. We are classmates after all, and I do not want to involve too many other things."
Holy cow!
Qin Mu had thought about hiding his Mentalist abilities yesterday.
But in just one day, everyone already knew it.
Something's not right!
The people here seem hard to fool.
Guo Youwei saw Qin Mu wasn't speaking and followed up unhurriedly: "Since Young Miss Ling has spoken, there's no need for me to hide it either."
"Qin Mu."
"You might not even know it yet. Just concentrate your mind now and try to control this dining knife, then you'll know if you're a Mentalist."
Damn it!
Nonsense, of course, I know!
Qin Mu still had to act.
It was a test of his acting skills, no doubt.
Now, it seemed there was no other way to explain gaining five levels overnight, except by being a Mentalist.
"Alright, I'll try my best. If it doesn't work, don't blame me."
Qin Mu finished speaking.
He focused his mind immediately, frowning deeply, and stretched out his hand in the air toward the dinner knife, even managing to squeeze a few drops of cold sweat out of his forehead.
Clink-clank ~
The dining knife on the porcelain plate quivered a little and gave out several crisp sounds.
"Indeed!"
Ling Qianxue and Guo Youwei were expressing confirmation at this moment.
Clang!
Suddenly, the dining knife vibrated and flew into Qin Mu's palm.
"Mentalist?!"
"I'm a Mentalist!?"
Qin Mu couldn't help but inwardly give himself a thumbs up; he acted really well.
"That's right, possessing Mental power means you're a Mentalist!" Guo Youwei exclaimed joyfully: "The specific level can't be tested here, but with your talent of five levels in one night, you can at least be evaluated as an S-Class Genius!"
Hmm.
Ling Qianxue nodded:
"S-Class Genius, S-Class contract."
We have divided contracts into two types: core members and peripheral members.
"I recommend that you sign the core one. In this way, the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance can provide you with 50 million credit points in initial start-up capital, 10 million credit points per month for Cultivation expenses, and you will also get a 30% discount on all products within the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance!"
"If you are a peripheral member, you will only get 5 million in initial capital and 1 million in monthly support; there are no other benefits, only requirements for Vicious Beast sales."
"Unlike the Martial Arts Hall, there is no middleman markup in the sales of the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance. For Martial Artists, whatever you sell for is what you buy for.
Guo Youwei knew that one sentence wouldn't completely sever Qin Mu's relationship with Ling Qianxue.
After all, they were classmates and Ling Qianxue was a super beautiful Young Miss; the destructive power of such a beautiful Young Miss on the young man wasn't ordinary.
"In terms of financial resources, except for Starbreaker (Martial Arts School/Group), there's no one who can match the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance."
Guo Youwei stopped.
"However, the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance is after all a commercial Alliance. Their talent development is good, but can't compare to a Martial Arts Hall."
"After all, Martial Arts Halls are for training Martial Artists." "The Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall's S-Class contract offers 20 million in initial capital. Moreover, I can apply for a further 10 million increase for you, plus 2 million in monthly Cultivation funds. The 30% discount at the mall is the same." "The difference is, as an S-Class Genius contract, everything related to Cultivation equipment in the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall can be utilized to its fullest by you, including all high-tier Cultivation rooms which only super members have access to.
