Persistence and Effort (Special thanks to the大神认证 from 牧羊之马, additional update)

"Can you leave already?"

"Give me the pills that enhance foundational strength, and I'll go."

Ye Wangchuan said while rubbing Li Luo's head.

Not bad.

It was quite fun.

"Fine, fine, here you go!"

Li Luo said exasperatedly, pulling out a Low-grade Foundation Building Pill from her pocket.

Ye Wangchuan took it and then said, "One isn't enough."

Li Luo ground her teeth and handed over another one.

She was now deeply regretting why she had approached Ye Wangchuan earlier.

If she had known this would happen, she would have gone to the Li family first.

Ye Wangchuan: "Two isn't enough to compensate. I want five, plus three more."

Li Luo: "I only have two Low-grade Foundation Building Pills!"

Ye Wangchuan: "I don't believe you."

Li Luo: "Believe it or not! I only have two. You can search me if you want!"

Ye Wangchuan: "Then write an IOU for three, to be paid back later. If you delay by a month, add one more pill to the debt."

Li Luo: "Are you crazy or what?"

[Antagonist Emotion Points +20]

[Current Balance: 320 Points.]

Li Luo was about to explode.

This Ye Wangchuan, not too much, not too little, exactly demanded three Low-grade Foundation Building Pills.

She had 300... eh, 320 Antagonist Emotion Points.

One Low-grade Foundation Building Pill cost 90 Antagonist Emotion Points.

Exactly enough to buy three.

What on earth was going on with Ye Wangchuan!

How did he manage to pick that exact number!

"..."

"You bit me, and now you're unwilling to compensate or write an IOU, and you even called me crazy."

"So, you think I'm a nice guy? Easy to bully?"

Ye Wangchuan said with a puzzled expression, grabbing Li Luo by the collar and lifting her up coldly.

"If you don't want to pay with pills, then come to my house and be a servant for half a year."

Ye Wangchuan said this not because he had any particular fetish.

It was just that having Li Luo as a servant in the Ye family would bring significant benefits.

First, he could regularly "milk the cow."

Second, he could withhold her cultivation resources and suppress her cultivation.

This way, he would eliminate one Destiny's Child and gain a cash cow.

"Uh... here you go."

Feeling that Ye Wangchuan wasn't joking, Li Luo pretended to rummage in her pocket and pulled out three Low-grade Foundation Building Pills.

At the same time, a voice echoed in Li Luo's mind.

[Ding, three Low-grade Foundation Building Pills cost 270 Antagonist Emotion Points.]

[Deducted.]

[Current Balance: 50 Points.]

Waaaaaah~

All the Antagonist Emotion Points she had saved for half a day were gone again!!

Biting Ye Wangchuan only gave 80 points!

"Very good."

Seeing her hand over the pills, Ye Wangchuan smiled.

He took the three Low-grade Foundation Building Pills and set Li Luo back on the ground.

Then he turned and left, not staying any longer.

Ye Wangchuan still had to go back and celebrate his 99th step with the old man.

After Ye Wangchuan left.

On the spot, Li Luo angrily stomped her foot on the ground a few times.

"Ye Wangchuan! Ye Wangchuan! Ye Wangchuan!"

"I'm so mad! Nothing good ever happens when I'm with him!"

Just as Li Luo was fuming.

The Li family elder suddenly ran over, smiling.

"Li Luo, come, I'll take you to the Li family right now."

"Didn't you say I have no relation to the Li family?"

Li Luo said exasperatedly.

The elder coughed and awkwardly said,

"So that's why we're taking you to the Li family now? Ahaha."

"Fine, let's go."

Li Luo sighed and obediently followed the elder.

But in her heart, she had already made up her mind.

Since the Li family was just using her, she could also use them.

As long as she survived the newbie period, everything would be fine.

...

...

Ye Family.

Ye Wangchuan strutted back home.

Although he usually returned home like this.

This time, Ye Wangchuan carried a special inexplicable confidence.

It was like someone who had scored over 700 points in the college entrance exam.

And Ye Wangchuan wasn't just over 700 points, but a perfect score!

Those Destiny's Children all relied on innate talent and strength to reach the 90s, too superficial.

But he was different.

He had climbed to the 99th step by gnawing on Marrow Cleansing Fruit! Full of perseverance and hard work!

Ye Wangchuan thought this way as he walked to the main hall.

Then he put away his smile, walking in with a calm expression.

As soon as he entered, Ye Wangchuan saw his father, Ye Zhentian, smiling while writing calligraphy.

Seeing Ye Wangchuan come over, Ye Zhentian immediately put away his smile, putting on an expression of utter calmness.

The two expressionless father and son began to communicate.

"You're back. I knew you could climb to the 99th step. Go back to your room and rest. I'll write some blessings and send out invitations." Ye Zhentian said with an air of having foreseen it all.

"It's just the 99th step, a trivial matter. Make the blessings more domineering." Ye Wangchuan said with a light smile, as if it didn't matter.

"You know that's good. Don't get too proud. Actually, I didn't want to hold a celebration banquet, but I was afraid you'd be disappointed, so I reluctantly decided to hold one." Ye Zhentian seemed uninterested in the banquet.

"Banquet? It's all the same to me. But since the invitations are already sent out, we might as well hold it." Ye Wangchuan said casually, also showing no interest in the banquet.

The two expressionless father and son nodded to each other, and Ye Wangchuan prepared to return to his room.

Before leaving, Ye Zhentian looked at the cloth wrapped around Ye Wangchuan's hand and asked curiously,

"What happened to your hand?"

"It got dirty, so I'm using this cloth to wipe it."

...

After Ye Wangchuan left...

The next second.

"Hahaha! My son has reached the 99th step! Liu Family, Li Family, Zhang Family, Jiang Family, Wang Family... all of you come and see!!!"

Ye Zhentian kept excitedly muttering to himself.

At the same time, with a thought, he condensed a stack of gold-bordered invitations.

"Go!"

With a wave of Ye Zhentian's hand, all the invitations flew out on their own.

...

Ye Wangchuan's Room.

"Hehe, 99 steps aren't enough to shock them. Let me slightly upgrade my cultivation a bit, giving the old man a little system shock."

Ye Wangchuan returned to his room.

With a thought, ten Cultivation Pills and five Low-grade Foundation Building Pills appeared.

Ye Wangchuan immediately began to alternate eating them.

Cultivation Pills provide cultivation progress, allowing for rapid advancement.

Low-grade Foundation Building Pills built a solid foundation, preventing cultivation from being superficial.

The two complemented each other, just like the Marrow Cleansing Fruit, full of perseverance and hard work!

Boom!

After consuming nine Cultivation Pills and three Low-grade Foundation Building Pills, Ye Wangchuan directly broke through to the initial stage of cultivation!

"Oh my system's divine power."

Ye Wangchuan muttered to himself as he looked at his body.

Ordinary people needed three years to go from zero to initial cultivation stage!

And he did it in two minutes!

"Looks like I'll have to milk Li Luo a few more times in the future."

Ye Wangchuan thought as he tossed the remaining Cultivation Pill and two Low-grade Foundation Building Pills into his mouth and ate them.

Hmm...

It's so bitter.
