Chapter 45 Genius Exclusive, Crowdfunded Martial Arts!

The thought of three million arriving in my account fills me with joy.

Ji Jingqiu arrived at the Security Bureau headquarters without stopping, following the navigation.

Compared to the Public Security Bureau, this place is quieter and more somber, with fewer people coming and going, adding to its solemnity.

After Ji Jingqiu went inside, she saw Luo Xi’s older brother, Luo Nanshan.

They had met once before. During the last terrorist attack, when the Security Bureau forcibly took him away, this man stepped forward to ask for a face from the man surnamed Wang. When the latter refused, this man, without saying a word, directly replaced him with the unreasonable Zhang Xingyi.

Luo Nanshan smiled and said, ” Jingqiu, Commissioner Zhang has been waiting for you for a long time.”

Following Luo Nanshan, Ji Jingqiu arrived at a large office deep inside. Before entering, Ji Jingqiu saw a sign on the door that read “Deputy Director’s Office”.

Good grief, they’ve taken over the deputy director’s office.

Upon entering, Ji Jingqiu didn’t know where to put her feet.

Various paper documents and books were piled up everywhere on the ground.

” Eighth Brother, what are you doing?” Ji Jingqiu asked curiously.

“Brother’s here, have a seat.” Zhang Chongba rubbed his temples.

After a week apart, his dark circles had gotten much worse. He sighed. Dao, “I’ve been working overtime lately checking some documents, so just make room for me anywhere.”

Ji Jingqiu picked up a book at random; the title was “The Secret History of the Founding of the Federation”.

After they sat down, Zhang Chongba got straight to the point: “The subsidy that A-dao and I jointly applied for for you has been issued. Because of the special circumstances this time, the subsidy amount is twice what we promised you before.”

Six million!

Happiness came so suddenly that Ji Jingqiu was at a loss for words.

“The enhancement and modification potions, as well as the nutritional supplements, have been delivered. Take them back later and leave them at the martial arts gym. These things need to be stored at a low temperature. We’ll wait for you…”

Ji Jingqiu interrupted suspiciously: “What potion? Wasn’t it six million?”

Zhang Chongba was taken aback, scratching his head: “Didn’t your second uncle tell you?”

Ji Jingqiu shook her head blankly.

Zhang Chongba shrugs:

“Isn’t your goal the Five Limits of Celestial Humans?”

So, following my second uncle’s advice, I used internal channels and paid some merit points to exchange your six million for a batch of potions, which you ‘ll need once you open the Gate of Celestial Human.

This batch of medicine would be worth at least double on the market, and you’d need connections to get it. It’s like spending six million to do something worth twelve million. We’re brothers, no need to thank me!

Zhang Chongba is very easygoing.

Ji Jingqiu paused for a moment, then asked Dao quietly, “…Is breaking limits after unlocking the Gate of Celestial Human very expensive?”

Zhang Chongba asked in surprise, “You don’t know what Dao is?”

Seeing that Ji Jingqiu seemed completely unaware of the Dao Dao, Zhang Chongba touched his bald head, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.

He smacked his lips:

“To put it simply, each breakthrough is a deep exploration of life’s potential, and the deficit needs to be replenished in the shortest possible time afterward in order to continue breaking through the next limit.”

This level of deficit, if addressed by ordinary martial arts secret medicines, would take about a month to recover if relying solely on recuperation.

But Five Limits of Celestial Humans don’t give you a month to waste.

This led to the development of a series of different life forms of the drug.

This time, I’ve redeemed Life Type 5 for you, the latest model. One dose is enough to replenish your losses; it’s said to have the fastest effect in the shortest time!

After saying that, he raised a thumb, indicating that he could describe it in just one word.

–fierce!

How much does this thing cost?

“The market price is three million, but I used an insider channel, which is about half the price. I redeemed four for you, which is just enough for you to use up your Five Limits.”

Ji Jingqiu’s heart was bleeding, but she forced herself to remain calm: “What about the other medicines? Won’t they all be used up now?”

“There are also fifty nutritional supplements, one for two days, enough for you for a hundred days. I swallowed my pride and asked them to give them to me as a free gift.”

“What’s left are some basic gene-modifying agents, which nobody wants if they’re just sitting there. But considering your special circumstances, Physique, I’ve packed them up and gotten them for you.”

Ji Jingqiu paused for a moment: ” Isn’t 12 million enough to open a Gate of Celestial Human?”

Is this what they mean by “poor scholars, rich warriors”?

Zhang Chongba sighed. Dao:

“This is nothing; these are just the basics.”

Brother, you know Dao How do people of the same age in the Central Area practice martial arts?

“To put it simply, the deep sleep that can only be entered autonomously by entering Samadhi can be achieved with a sleep pod in the Central Area, and the basic model of this thing costs 20 million.”

“The latest sleep capsule models are so rare that they’re practically priceless; even the Martial Artist series from Tianren has to fight over them.”

“Technology can strengthen our military, brother!”

“And these days, the more genius a Martial Artist is, the more money they spend. Do you know why?”

“Because the more genius one is, the more one wants to climb to the top and take the last few steps, such as Five Limits of Celestial Humans, Innate Reversal.”

Taking another step up from a hundred-foot pole is more difficult than taking the previous hundred feet combined.

“Some Geniuses” Martial Artists even have an entire team of martial arts experts supporting them, covering everything from daily life and healthcare to future planning for martial arts Fellows and Daoists, with daily real-time data monitoring. You know, Daoists support a whole team…

Ji Jingqiu resolutely raised her hand: “Stop talking, I have no money!”

He suddenly understood what his grandfather meant by “a place where you don’t spend money? Then it seems you’re not practicing very well.”

“It’s okay if you don’t have money.”

Zhang Chongba happily accepted it, seemingly having been waiting for those words. He chuckled.

There’s a saying in the Federation: every exceptionally talented young Martial Artist is a high-quality initial public offering (IPO) worth investing heavily in.

“What’s the meaning?”

“It means that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have money, as long as you have talent, there are plenty of people willing to lend you money.”

“Lend me?” Ji Jingqiu immediately became wary. “You’re not talking about taking out a loan to practice martial arts, are you?”

My grandfather’s example serves as a stark warning!

“Don’t touch loans, you have to pay them back.” Zhang Chongba shook his head. “I’m talking about crowdfunding.”

“…Crowdfunding martial arts training?” Ji Jingqiu’s eyes widened. “Are people so easy to swindle money these days?”

Zhang Chongba immediately spoke earnestly:

“Easy to fool? Bro, you may be short of money, but there are plenty of people who aren’t. You may think you’ve cheated them out of their money, but they’ve cheated you out of your character.”

For example, if their company or family ran into big trouble one day and needed thugs, would you help them after being paid so much money?

Ji Jingqiu asked in confusion: “Is it really that simple?”

Investing so much just for one big move?

That’s such a great deal!

In his current understanding and worldview, since the other party has invested so much, it’s impossible that the two sides have no connection. Even if they didn’t have a connection before, they should have developed one by now.

If a friend is in trouble, what’s wrong with helping them out?

“Simple?” Zhang Chongba shook his head and sighed. Dao, “You’re after other people’s money, but they want your life.”

You think it’s just a simple fight? A friendly sparring match in the ring, then it’s time to go home and take a bath?

hehe.

More than a hundred years ago, a military officer emerged from the Federal Western Region. Pride of the Sun has been unstoppable in its journey.

Even the Central Area, teeming with talent, was overshadowed by him, earning him the reputation of dominating an entire era.

In the process of Forging the Body and True Seed Realm, this Senior reportedly spent billions of Federal Credits, along with numerous scarce resources that Wu Fa ( the martial arts world) valued in monetary terms, in order to create the strongest Foundation and power.

The expenses on his subsequent cultivation journey were countless, and he was burning money every day!

As a result, countless people were willing to be his angel investors back then.

There are five major corporations at the oligopoly level alone, and then there’s an even more significant one—a certain ancient, long-established family.

Upon hearing this, Ji Jingqiu couldn’t help but gasp. After all, global warming doesn’t exist in this world anyway.

There are only six families in the Federation that can be called ancient clans with a history of ten thousand years!

Zhang Chongba continued speaking about Dao:

“This Senior did not disappoint, climbing all the way up to become the youngest Great Master in the history of the Federation.”

Just as he was riding high and preparing to venture into Sky Road to raise money to repay his debts, his angel investors waved their hands, saying that they were all on the same side and there was no need to repay the money. They said that they had some conflicts with some people recently and asked him to help them out.

Do you know who certain people on Dao are?

Ji Jingqiu shook his head.

Little did he know what extraordinary geniuses Dao had a hundred years ago.

Zhang Chongba uttered an unbelievable term:

“federal.”

“…?”

Ji Jingqiu stared at him in disbelief.

He picked at his ears; they weren’t blocked.

How could you have misheard?

Zhang ChongbaheheDao:​

“You heard me right, it’s the Federation, the Federation right beneath our feet!”

Those lunatics started a war that was treasonous!

Ji Jingqiu looked completely bewildered, having no idea how Dao should comment on the matter, and could only press Dao for an answer:

“And then what?” Ji Jingqiu Senior died in battle?

Zhang Chongba laughed heartily: “No, he ran away! He ran all night, and he didn’t reappear until fifty years later.”

Ji Jingqiu asked, puzzled: “Why haven’t I seen this part in history?”

“If you can see this in history, then the Federal Education Bureau is in trouble.”

Zhang Chongba clicked his tongue,

“To put it simply, you can’t find this information anywhere; it’s been blocked long ago.”

The situation was complex back then, and few people could explain it clearly. Even the reason for the war was unknown; all that was known was that the battle at Dao’s was ultimately averted, with both sides making concessions. However, the conflict was not completely resolved; it was merely temporarily suppressed.

“Of course, this is just a special case, but it can serve as a reminder to you.”

“Crowdfunding isn’t as good as you think. What people are giving isn’t money, but a ’cause,’ and nobody knows what kind of ‘effect’ it will produce in the future. “

“So, brother, now I have to ask you a serious question: do you want to go down this path?”
