Chapter 21: Crushed Hope

Initially, Hong Jun thought he would just offer him some money, to get Fu Jinlong agreed.

But Fu Jinlong's blatant response made them dumbfounded.

Fu Jinlong needed money so he agreed immediately. He loved to earn some easy money.

"Brother. You shouldn't be so shameless, you know. You didn't even try to hide your greedy heart," Lang Kun said with an aggrieved expression.

Fu Jinlong explained, "It's not greed, It's called profit. A businessman's every action should be the cause of profit." He gave them his speech like a business Idol.

Lang Kun's mouth opened wide upon listening to his speech.

"Oh. My. God! Where did this business tycoon come from? Oh, come on. This guy wearing cheap clothes is sharing his knowledge like a tycoon," Lang Kun exaggerated in his mind.

By his side, Hong Jun's expression was not exaggerated like him, he was just slightly surprised.

"Alright, Mr. business mentor, shall we start?" Hong Jun asked as he picked the business book and then glanced at Fu Jinlong.

"Sure.." Fu Jinlong agreed.

After hearing Fu Jinlong's affirmation Hong Jun began to flip the pages of the book and ask questions one after another.

"Which economic system is currently Huaxia following?"

"Capitalism."

"What type of commitment do the Huaxia citizens prefer?

"Long term."

....

Hong Jun asked a lot of questions and Fu Jinlong answered them one by one correctly without any flaws.

After the Q&A session, both Hong Jun and Lang Kun were dumbstruck.

"Wow! Brother Fu, I am really convinced now. You do have a super mind. My understanding of the world has crumbled upon seeing your performance," Lang Kun praised him to the high heavens. He had become Fu Jinlong's fan as his tone became respectful.

Looking at his overreaction Fu Jinlong looked down on him with disdain.

"Hah! Only by seeing these simple things, this guy's mind gone nuts. What would he do if he knew that higher beings can destroy planets and stars with just a flick of their finger?"

"Yes, that's right. Divine Lords can destroy any mortal world with just a flick of the finger. Normally higher beings can't descend at the lower plane, as they are restricted by the laws of the Great Dao. But there are always some loopholes.

Hong Jun noticed his disdain and frowned in confusion.

"After receiving the praises, this guy had no joy in his face instead he was looking down on us. As if what he did is nothing in his eyes."

At that time Hong Jun felt like Fu Jinlong was filled with a lot of secrets. Now he really wanted to know his secret.

"Hey, Brother. How did you do it?" Hong Jun asked enthusiastically, hiding his true motives.

Fu Jinlong obviously understood his hidden motives. But he wasn't worried at all. "What can they do to him?"

Fu Jinlong replied, "Oh. that.. It's nothing special. I have received this ability from a mighty daoist master," Fu Jinlong lied.

Actually it was not a lie though, he really received it from a mighty figure, but he was much more mightier than daoist master. Fu Jinlong obviously would not tell his secret about his inheritance to outsiders.

"Really?" Hong Jun was a little suspicious. "This greedy guy told his secrets so easily. Something is definitely off."

Lang Kun became more astounded upon hearing about daoist master.

"So daoist masters really exist, ha? I thought it was just an ancient legend," Lang Kun thought in his mind.

"Can I learn it, brother?" Hong Jun asked shamelessly.

He continued, "Brother Fu, please help me. I can't remember the contents of the books for a long time. And My college entrance exam is coming soon. I need to get good grades in the exam, otherwise I will lose my bank card. If that happens my life will be miserable."

Brother Fu, Please teach me, please. I can give you a lot of money and I will forever be grateful to you." Hong Jun said, as he was almost about kowtow to Fu Jinlong.

"If he could learn it, he would be able to get good grades in the upcoming entrance exam and his position as the family head will be secured." That's what Hong Jun thought.

By his side Lang Kun understood his friend's situation. So, he was just quietly sitting on the chair.

"Hey. Let go of my hand first." Annoyed, Fu Jinlong tried to pull his hand from Hong Jun.

But Hong Jun kept holding it like a snake.

"No, Brother Fu. I Won't let go until you promise me to teach it," He began to throw tantrums like a kid.

"I am sorry, man.You can't learn it. It's my special ability."

Fu Jinlong shattered Hong Jun's expectations with that one sentence.

Fu Jinlong's words felt like a bomb on Hong Jun. Hong Jun's face sank and all of his hopes crashed. He had a crestfallen expression plastered on his face. Lang Kun was also downhearted upon noticing his friend's dejected expression.

Noticing Hong Jun's crestfallen look, Fu Jinlong wanted to help him a little and he was greedy for that money as well.

Suddenly he recalled a pill formula from his inheritance memories. It was called Soul strengthening pill. He can try to create a dilute version of the soul strengthening pill. With that pill, Hong Jun's soul will be strengthened and his problem will be solved. It was easy for him.

"Don't be dejected, man. I can help you another way." Fu Jinlong said.
