Ten thousand yuan!
According to Luo Yunyang's estimation, he knew his financial prospects were definitely more than just ten thousand yuan. However, after touching the five large bills in his pocket, he still felt somewhat excited.
His mother had lost her job. Although he had become a martial artist, he had not gone out to hunt, and making money seemed not so easy.
Now, this problem was suddenly solved.
Zhu Yan had really helped him out of a tight spot.
However, compared to the ten thousand yuan, what Luo Yunyang cared about most was the body-strengthening potion.
Relying on food and cultivation to improve his strength was now a bit slow, and in three days, Zhu Yan would take him to a major exam.
This major exam was a rare opportunity. Luo Yunyang wanted to soar to new heights and make his mother and sister move to the city, which required even greater strength.
"Take it out!"
After receiving Luo Yunyang's confirmation, the suit-clad manager quickly swiped Luo Yunyang's card on a small box. The information on the screen shocked the manager even more.
This was not an ordinary elite card; above the elite card was the emblem of the Xinglong Army.
This unremarkable-looking young man was actually a recruit of the Xinglong Army!
In an instant, countless thoughts arose in the manager's mind: This young man would surely become a great talent in the future. This opportunity has come, and if he could latch onto this young man, he would definitely benefit in the future.
Thinking of this, the manager became even more respectful. He loudly instructed the staff around him, "What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and bring this gentleman a cup of tea!"
As he spoke, he politely asked Luo Yunyang, "Sir, please provide your birth certificate number!"
This question stumped Luo Yunyang. He had never used his birth certificate number before and didn't know it. He frowned, and the manager, who was good at reading people, quickly realized this and said, "Sir, don't worry. I can look it up. Just tell me where you go to school and your name."
The women behind the bank counters looked as if they had seen a ghost. As the small box kept flashing, the manager quickly worked on a screen. Luo Yunyang finally had the chance to look around the bank.
The black marble floor tiles, the crystal-clear glass, everything seemed to exude elegance and nobility.
The women behind the counters, though not all stunning beauties, were delicate and refined.
When Luo Yunyang looked at these women, a couple of them, who looked to be around twenty, gave him fiery glances.
Such direct eye contact made Luo Yunyang blush and his heart race.
Although he wasn't attracted to these women, as a young man, he couldn't resist such flirtation.
"You have pretty good working conditions here!" Thinking of his mother's hard work, Luo Yunyang couldn't help but marvel.
"Mr. Luo, we are short of a staff member here. The salary isn't high, just five hundred yuan a month. If you know someone who needs a job, please introduce them to us," the manager said, taking the opportunity to flatter Luo Yunyang.
Introduce someone? That works!
Luo Yunyang was taken aback for a moment but quickly understood the manager's intentions. He admired the manager's social skills but replied casually, "Sure, that would be a bother, but I'll do it."
"No bother, no bother. My name is Fang Zhongyuan. Please take care of me in the future," the manager said.
As he spoke, Fang Zhongyuan took out a notification from a drawer and handed it to Luo Yunyang, saying, "This is the employment letter from our bank. The person you introduce can start work tomorrow."
He continued, "Mr. Luo, everything is done. I'll have someone fetch the body-strengthening potion for you!"
Luo Yunyang took the employment letter and saw that everything was in order, except for the name.
"Thank you, Manager Fang. By the way, please withdraw fifty thousand yuan for me."
"Sure!" Fang Zhongyuan was quick and efficient. In no time, he personally brought out a tube of green potion and fifty thousand yuan.
The fifty thousand yuan was in a large stack, and Fang Zhongyuan also handed Luo Yunyang a beautiful small handbag, saying, "This is a gift from our bank. Please use it for now."
Luo Yunyang nodded, understanding Fang Zhongyuan's kindness. He took the handbag and bid farewell to Fang Zhongyuan.
"Mr. Luo, I heard that using the body-strengthening potion is extremely painful, but the longer you endure, the better the effects. Please try to hold on as long as you can," Fang Zhongyuan said in a low voice as Luo Yunyang was about to leave the bank.
Luo Yunyang nodded. He had heard about the body-strengthening potion and knew it came with instructions.
"By the way, Mr. Luo, I think you need a computer!" Fang Zhongyuan clapped his hands, as if suddenly remembering something.
A computer? Luo Yunyang didn't have much impression of computers. In Donglu Town, most people struggled to eat and drink, let alone have electricity, so no one had heard of computers.
"This thing costs about ten thousand yuan. If you need it, I can help you buy a portable one in the city. You can charge it at our bank."
"As for internet access, your elite card will do."
After Luo Yunyang left, Fang Zhongyuan clenched his fist, more excited than if he had made a big deal.
"Manager Fang, it's just a kid. Do you really need to be so polite?" A beautiful woman asked, puzzled.
This woman was one of the most beautiful in Donglu Town, which made her a bit proud.
Usually, Fang Zhongyuan was polite to her, but he didn't flatter her as much as other men did.
Seeing Fang Zhongyuan fawning over a young man, she was a bit curious.
Fang Zhongyuan sneered, "Remember, he's an elite. Understand? Even though he's just a G-level elite, youth is capital."
"Whenever Mr. Luo comes, you must treat him well."
Luo Yunyang, of course, didn't know about the bank staff's discussion. He was walking happily, filled with joy.
Although he had anticipated this day after becoming an elite, holding fifty thousand yuan in his hands felt different.
"Grumble, grumble, grumble!"
Hungry, he decided to eat something, then visit Luoshang, and have someone buy a better house in town.
Although his goal was to move his mother and sister to the city, he still wanted to improve their living conditions.
"Hey, you, stop right there!"
A loud shout echoed in Luo Yunyang's ears. He looked up and saw Luoshang running towards him in a panic.
Behind her, a fat, greasy-looking man was chasing her.
In his forties, with a protruding belly, he was still running fast.
"Luoshang, what's wrong?" Luo Yunyang felt a sense of duty towards this classmate who had supported him in his darkest times.
"It's none of your business, just go!" Luoshang gave Luo Yunyang a meaningful look and then said to the fat man, "Dad, slow down."
Luoshang was trying to tell Luo Yunyang that she wasn't in danger.
However, Luo Yunyang sensed that her situation might be related to the energy bar he had eaten.
"You brat, do you know how hard I work to earn money? Five hundred yuan, you...!" The fat man slowed down but started yelling.
Luoshang's face turned red when she heard her father's scolding.
She didn't want Luo Yunyang to see her like this!
Luoshang had just reached Luo Yunyang when she found herself blocked by him.
"Who are you?" The fat man, sensing something from his daughter's expression, was unfriendly towards Luo Yunyang.
"I'm Luo Yunyang, Uncle Luo. Hello," Luo Yunyang smiled politely.
The fat man's face turned from red to fierce. He pointed at Luo Yunyang with his sausage-like fingers and said, "You... you little punk, you dare to seduce my daughter. I'll beat you to death!"
As he spoke, the fat man lunged forward.
Luo Yunyang wasn't afraid of an ordinary person who wasn't even a martial artist, but this was Luoshang's father, and he didn't want to hurt him.
"What are you doing? Why are you hitting my son!" Just as Luo Yunyang was about to dodge, his mother, Shen Yunying, rushed out.
Usually timid, Shen Yunying now looked like a roaring lion.
The fat man recognized Shen Yunying. Pointing at her, he said, "Wife of the Lao Chen family, not only did your son seduce my daughter, but he also made her buy him an energy bar. What kind of logic is that?"
"Tell me, who does such things?"
The fat man's pursuit of his beloved daughter had already attracted a crowd. Now, hearing his words, they were eager to watch the drama.
Shen Yunying glanced at Luo Yunyang and then said seriously, "This is a matter between two children. I don't want to say who's right or wrong."
"But I will definitely make up for the money."
Shen Yunying's attitude made the fat man's face a bit better. He grunted but didn't say anything more.
However, someone else grunted, "Shen Yunying, you've been fired. I tell you, no one in Donglu Town will hire you."
"For ruining someone's mink coat and not admitting it, you're disgracing us!"
The speaker was Cheng Daren, who looked indignant.
The crowd was buzzing, and Shen Yunying, not a confrontational person, felt embarrassed by the neighbors' gossip.
"Slap!" A loud slap landed on Cheng Daren's face, sending him flying.
"You... you... dare to hit me!"
Cheng Daren spat out a mouthful of blood and teeth, his face contorted with anger.
"I'll hit you again if you keep talking nonsense. I'll kill you!" Luo Yunyang shouted angrily.
"Chief Li, you heard him, he said he would kill me!" Cheng Daren saw a police officer approaching and cried out pitifully.
"Chief Li, you must teach this troublemaker a lesson!"
Chief Li, who was in charge of the area, saw the crowd and sighed for Luo Yunyang.
Chief Li and Cheng Daren were good friends.
Chief Li looked at Luo Yunyang, paused, and then smiled, "You... are Mr. Luo Yunyang?"
"I am Luo Yunyang!" Luo Yunyang nodded, understanding the situation.
"Slap!" Without a word, Chief Li slapped Cheng Daren again. "Cheng Daren, you dared to threaten an elite. Do you know that this alone is enough to get you detained for a hundred days?"
"Get down and apologize!"
Elite? Shen Yunying looked at her beloved son with pride.
"I'm telling you, Mr. Luo Yunyang has mastered the Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram and has been evaluated by the Xinglong Army. He is now an elite of our Great Federation."
Chief Li continued, "This is the second elite to appear in Donglu Town in nearly twenty years."
Luoshang, her father, and almost everyone else were stunned.
Elite, Luo Yunyang!
Luo Yunyang opened his handbag and took out five thousand yuan, handing it to Luoshang's father. "Luoshang has been very kind to me. She even spent money on me yesterday. Please take this money, Uncle."
Five thousand yuan! This amount was a fortune in Donglu Town. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Luoshang's father.
"Mom, this is the employment form from the bank. Fill it out and start work tomorrow. I've already arranged it," Luo Yunyang handed the form to his mother.
No one doubted Luo Yunyang's words. They knew that with his elite status, his mother's treatment was entirely reasonable.
The bank was the most enviable place in Donglu Town.
In the eyes of the residents, working at the bank was a high-status job. Now, Luo Yunyang's mother had entered the bank just after he became an elite.
Shen Yunying held the bank's notification, feeling overwhelmed with happiness.
Cheng Daren watched all this, his eyes filled with fear. He never imagined that the insignificant Luo Yunyang would become a formidable elite!
"As for Cheng Daren, since he can be detained for a hundred days, let's do it. I'm not a forgiving person!"
Luo Yunyang looked at Chief Li with a half-smile.
"Mr. Luo, rest assured, I will take good care of Mr. Cheng," Chief Li smiled and respectfully agreed.
Luo Yunyang watched as Chief Li took Cheng Daren away, his desire for power growing even stronger.
He must reach the pinnacle of power!
