Chapter 67

Nothing can stump you

Money makes the world go round.

This statement also applies to the world of high-level martial arts.

Money circulates in the world and, as a general equivalent, can be exchanged for resources that countless extraordinary martial artists dream of.

Whether it's cultivation techniques, spiritual skills, divine weapons, magical treasures, or elixirs and precious medicines.

Apart from those truly precious and rare priceless treasures, everything else can be bought with money.

The Lu family is one of the four major families along the eastern coast, and Lu Zhiyao is the eldest daughter of the Lu family, so she naturally receives far more resources than ordinary extraordinary martial artists.

He stuffed a bunch of magic pills into his mouth, not caring whether he felt weak or not.

In any case, the realm has been broken through.

I'm asking you, do you accept it or not?

"Hmph, I'm not the same person I used to be."

Lu Zhiyao was like a proud peacock, showing off on the stage.

During the initial exams, she was the first S-level freshman to be eliminated, and because she was eliminated early, she didn't even make it into the top ten of the points leaderboard.

It can be said to be a disgrace to the S-class.

Now, she is on par with Song Haitang.

Although we didn't win, we didn't lose either.

That's enough to prove their strength.

"Is it something to brag about for a second-tier martial artist to fight to a draw with a first-tier martial artist?"

Luo Chuan, watching from the audience, was speechless.

Take himself as an example. After breaking through to the second-tier martial artist, Lin Du's full-force attack couldn't even break through his defense.

However, Lu Zhiyao's use of money to build a second-tier level did remind Luo Chuan.

Luo Chuan currently has no cultivation bottlenecks to speak of.

The only thing preventing him from advancing in his cultivation level was the accumulation of spiritual power.

The higher the level of the cultivation technique, the faster the spiritual energy is accumulated.

But ultimately, it still needs time to settle.

Of course, there are shortcuts.

The simplest approach is to follow Lu Zhiyao's example and replace grinding with spending money to buy elixirs.

Regrettably.

Luo Chuan has no money.

Although he is not the protagonist of destiny, and there is no background setting of him being an orphan who lost both parents.

As an illegitimate child, unloved by both his father and mother, he had no choice but to rely on himself.

For extraordinary martial artists who want to make money, besides looking at the methods recorded in the criminal law, the most common way is to register as a demon hunter and hunt down demons to earn commissions.

[Ding! The gears of fate begin to turn at this moment.]

The long-awaited system notification sound rang out, instantly lifting Luo Chuan's spirits.

You finally realize that to become the ultimate villain, you need to gradually accumulate resources, build your own organization and power, and ultimately become an invisible empire that secretly controls the world!

[Objective: A towering building rises from the ground! Establish the initial framework of your own power base and earn your first pot of gold as start-up capital and funding for subsequent operations.]

[Reward: 50 Destiny Points.]

[900 years to regain a heartbeat, 90 years to regain consciousness, 9 years to regain power, 9 days to regain the world. —Mr. A who loves to sleep]

……

Luo Chuan quickly took action.

Unfortunately, progress was not smooth.

Since the right path was blocked, he immediately thought of going through Ms. Kobayashi's back door.

"Ms. Kobayashi, can't you ask the school to make an exception?"

Even if you say that, I can't make an exception...

Ms. Kobayashi sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

She picked up Luo Chuan's application form and flicked it with her finger.

"I understand that students from advanced martial arts academies need the school's approval and certification to register as hunters."

"I can understand if an individual submits an application and it is rejected by the school."

"So I can understand your plan to follow others and establish a hunter club, submitting the application as a team."

"But I don't understand why you want to start a club that's just one person."

Ms. Lin put down the application form, crossed her legs, crossed her arms over her chest, and stared intently at Luo Chuan.

"Why not just join a club? You can just be a registered member anyway."

"Ms. Kobayashi, you don't understand. I'm just being prepared."

Luo Chuan lowered his voice and adopted a mysterious and inscrutable demeanor.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. Don't be fooled by the fact that I'm the only one in the club right now; it's because we haven't found the right members yet."

"No one can predict the future. Once I find the right members, our club might grow into a behemoth."

"And you, my teacher and advisor, just imagine, you will become the Secretary-General, second only to the Emperor."

"Well……"

Teacher Xiaolin pondered for a moment, a thought stirring in her mind.

A scene flashed through her mind.

I dream of one day wearing a business suit, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the city's tallest building, proudly overlooking the entire city's night view.

By serving only Luo Chuan, one can control the entire city...

It seems pretty fun.

but.

"How is that even possible?"

Teacher Xiaolin rolled her eyes at Luo Chuan.

This is pure wishful thinking; it's something that's completely impossible to achieve.

She didn't believe a single word of it.

"Besides, even if I wanted to help you, your solo club is too outrageous; it's impossible for it to pass."

Ms. Lin shook her head and glanced at Luo Chuan.

"I think you're just used to being free and don't want to be constrained by others."

"Is it really not going to work?"

Luo Chuan moved closer to Teacher Lin and gazed deeply into her eyes.

His eyes revealed his sincerity and earnestness.

[Luo Tian's "Clear-cut Love and Hate" personality trait is now active.]

"Ms. Kobayashi, you know I've always believed in you, believed in your abilities, and thought that nothing could stump you."

"Well... it's not like there's no way."

Ms. Kobayashi tilted her head back slightly, her eyes trembled slightly, and her wandering gaze involuntarily glanced to the side.

"If you don't want to be listed in someone else's club, you can try a different approach. For example, you could have someone else list their name with you."

"Oh? Does Ms. Kobayashi have a list of people who can be listed as names?"

"If you need it, of course we have it."

Ms. Kobayashi adjusted her glasses.

The mirror reflects the light from the incandescent bulb.

"Many upperclassmen are often active off-campus and have basically left the school. Getting them to join your club to meet the requirement of having five members, with at least one registered hunter, shouldn't be too difficult."

"Then I can rest assured and leave this matter to you, Ms. Kobayashi."

"Sigh, after all, I promised to take care of you."

……

Luo Chuan trusted Teacher Lin with everything he did.

A few days later, Ms. Kobayashi brought the good news that Luo Chuan's club had been approved and officially established.

The club's advisor is naturally Ms. Kobayashi.

Besides Luo Chuan, the leader of the club, there were four other nominal members who were ignored by everyone.

As for the club's name...

"Why is it called the Dark Moon Sword?"

Teacher Xiaolin asked Luo Chuan curiously.

"Given your innate abilities, wouldn't 'Sword of Aether' be a more fitting name?"

"Uh... anyway, we're just going out on patrols all over the world hunting down criminals, so don't worry about these trivial details..."

Luo Chuanqian smiled and wiped away his cold sweat.

[50% of the target progress!]

[You've finally built your own power base and gained an invisible, intangible army, becoming the adorable and charming leader of the Darkmoon Sword Guild, pfft...]

"..."

That wretched Hakimi system is puffing up air again.

"Oh, right."

At this moment, Ms. Lin handed Luo Chuan a work ID.

"I've also processed your Witcher registration. Here's your Witcher ID; you can import it to your phone via NFC. Also, to accept bounty quests, you can log in directly to the Hunter App..."

Teacher Xiaolin guided Luo Chuan step by step through all the remaining process steps.

Luo Chuan was immediately astonished, thinking him an extraordinary being.

This is a top-notch nanny!
