Chapter 22: Human Traitors, the Adventists!
Translator: yikaii Editor: yikaii
【It turns out that every member of the Adventists is a traitor to the human race.】
【They believe that humans are unworthy of ruling this planet and are preparing to welcome the “great other races” to completely descend upon this world.】
【You are puzzled; wouldn’t all humans, including the members of the Adventists, die once these other races arrive?】
【However, your status is too low to enter the core circle of the Adventists.】
【You infiltrated the Adventists for a month and gradually understood that to improve your status within the cult, you must demonstrate corresponding strength and complete the tasks assigned by the organization.】
【So, you took on your first task: investigating a silver level Dungeon.】
【You completed it excellently and earned 5 contribution points within the cult.】
【You learned that contribution points can be exchanged for many precious items. The half of the Everlasting Spring Technique that Wang Qingxuan obtained was redeemed with 5000 contribution points.】
【So you tried to take on more tasks, hoping to earn more contribution points.】
【You worked hard for a month and earned 100 contribution points, but this efficiency made you dissatisfied.】
【You understood that your low strength prevented you from taking on higher level tasks, making it difficult to earn contribution points.】
【You learned of another way to earn contribution points: offering precious items to the cult elders could yield a large number of points.】
【You made a bold decision and offered 100 pounds of spiritual rice to an elder.】
【The elder handed over the spiritual rice, was very impressed with you, and gave you 1,000 contribution points.】
【A few days later, another elder from the cult approached you, pressing you to reveal the source of the spiritual rice.】
【You claimed it was a chance find and that you had no more.】
【The elder didn’t believe you and tied you up, imprisoning you in the basement and torturing you for information!】
【You were beaten until your skin was torn and endured many punishments…】
【Eventually, you were tortured to death at the age of 29!】
【Your “Unyielding Gaze” talent activated…】
【You saw an old man enter the basement. The elder appeared very respectful to the old man.】
【They seemed to exchange a few words, but you couldn’t hear them. You resolved to learn lip reading.】
【A day later, the Unyielding Gaze talent deactivated…】
【Ding, this simulation ends!】
【You may choose one of the following rewards: Mr. Strong (Talent), Foundation Building Stage Perfection (Cultivation), Bone Forging Stage Perfection (Cultivation), Five Second-Generation Spiritual Chickens (Pet), 3,000 Pounds of Spiritual Rice (Item)】
【Mr. Strong】: Green Talent, priced at 10,000 energy points.
【Foundation Building Stage Perfection】: Cultivation, priced at 1,000 energy points.
【Bone Forging Stage Perfection】: Cultivation, priced at 10,000 energy points.
【Five Second-Generation Spiritual Chickens】: Pet, priced at 10,000 energy points.
【3,000 Pounds of Spiritual Rice】: Item, priced at 3 million energy points.
Su Xing drooled over the simulation rewards. He wanted both the Mr. Strong green talent and the Bone Forging Stage Perfection cultivation!
“It’s a pity I can only bring back one reward…”
In the end, Su Xing decided to choose the Mr. Strong talent.
After all, talent draws depend on luck, and as long as he had this talent, he would inevitably reach the Bone Forging Stage Perfection level in the next simulation.
What surprised Su Xing the most was that he could actually bring back the spiritual chickens from the simulator!
The spiritual chickens seemed to be classified as pets by the simulator, and each second-generation spiritual chicken was worth 2,000 energy points, even more expensive than a pound of spiritual rice.
This at least indicated that the value of the second-generation spiritual chickens was higher than that of spiritual rice.
“It’s a pity, I only have less than 2000 energy points left, so I can’t redeem any talent…”
Su Xing decided to hurry up and dive into a Dungeon to collect equipment, so he could gather enough energy before the next Dungeon run.
Knock, knock, knock!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Su Xing had a hunch it was Jin Congxue, so he opened the door.
Jin Congxue was holding a few Buddhist scriptures, smiling as she said, “Ah Xing, I just acquired a few rare Buddhist texts. How about we study them together?”
(TL Note: Ah + someone’s name is a more intimate way to address someone)
Su Xing nodded and started discussing with Jin Congxue.
However, throughout the discussion, Su Xing seemed distracted, which made Jin Congxue a bit helpless. She asked, “Ah Xing, do you have something on your mind?”
Su Xing bitterly smiled and nodded, saying, “I’m planning to go back to Beijing. Recently, I’m a bit tight on money, so I need to go back to earn more…”
Jin Congxue showed a hint of surprise and said, “Are you short of money? Why didn’t you say so earlier? How much do you need? I can lend it to you!”
Su Xing was taken aback by Jin Congxue’s generosity. They had known each other for only seven or eight days, and she was willing to lend him money?
Curious, Su Xing asked, “Are you rich?”
Jin Congxue was a bit surprised and said, “Don’t you know about the Jin Family Commercial Chamber? My grandfather founded it…”
Su Xing was stunned. Jin Family Commercial Chamber?
It was one of the top-ranked businesses in the entire Great Xia country, established for hundreds of years with immeasurable assets.
Su Xing, in the simulator, had also been a wealthy businessman with a net worth of several billion.
But compared to Jin Family Commercial Chamber, it was insignificant.
Jin Family Commercial Chamber’s scale couldn’t be measured in hundreds of millions because most of their clients were Awakened, even high level ones.
Clients at the master and heavenly king levels were just regulars.
Su Xing, in the simulator, sold equipment mostly to lower level Awakened like silver and gold ranks, not in the same league at all.
Su Xing suddenly remembered that in one simulation, he was introduced to clients by Jin Congxue, which rapidly increased his net worth to several billion in just a few years.
If Jin Family Commercial Chamber’s resources were involved, it made perfect sense.
Jin Congxue’s voice rang in Su Xing’s ears, “So, how much do you want to borrow?”
Su Xing gritted his teeth and said, “One hundred million, can you lend it to me? I might not be able to repay it in the short term… maybe it will take a year or so…”

Jin Congxue was taken aback by this figure. One hundred million was no small sum.
So Jin Congxue half-jokingly said, “You aren’t trying to scam me, are you? What do you need a hundred million for?”
She then laughed and took out a bank card, handing it to Su Xing, “This card has a hundred million in it. The password is six eights.”
Su Xing didn’t take the bank card immediately. Instead, he took out fifty pounds of spiritual rice from his storage ring and handed it to Jin Congxue, saying, “Consider this spiritual rice as interest. You’re not lending to me for nothing!”
Jin Congxue was stunned, blinking as she said, “Are you sure you want to give me this spiritual rice? Do you know its value?”
“This fifty pounds of spiritual rice is worth at least fifty million Great Xia Coins!”
