Chapter 23: Froststone
PS: There's something that's really confusing, today a reader friend actually mixed the cultivation realm and technique into one. Here, Shaofeng wants to clarify that realms belong to realms, techniques belong to techniques, these are two different things. The seven major realms of cultivation can't be completed by relying on just one technique, otherwise the main character would only be able to cultivate one technique from start to finish, which would be too boring! Realms are achieved through cultivating different techniques, please remember this clearly, haha!
Yanjing City Hospital, single room on the fifth floor.
Huang Changtang lay on the hospital bed, staring at the rising and falling numbers on TV, feeling extremely anxious, and kept shouting: "Rise, you'd better rise for me... Ah, I've lost another 100,000!"
The door of the ward was pushed open, and Chu Zifeng walked in with a basket of fruit and a bouquet of flowers. Seeing Huang Shuang, he seemed to be fine, not injured or hit by a car, and asked: "Sister Shuang, you're okay, why did you say you were hit by a car?"
"Close the door, Zifeng's brother, hurry up and close the door, if others find out, my sick leave will be ruined!"
Dizzy, it turned out that Huang Chao was pretending to be ill to get a sick leave. Chu Zifeng still thought that he had misseen the previous night, and Huang Chao was indeed severely shocked.
"Sister Ya, you're really something, pretending to be ill like this - can't your colleagues see through it?"
Chu Zi Feng walked up to the bedside and asked.
"They're all idiots, I said I was hit by a car and they believed me, it's not my fault."
Huang Chuan carelessly pulled Chu Zifeng onto the bed, blew a breath into his ear, and the enticing fragrance instead made Chu Zifeng feel a chill. He immediately sat up and said: "Sister Huang, what kind of hobby is this?"
"Haha, Zifeng little brother, didn't expect you to be so shy!"
"That's it, I'm still a virgin!"
"Want me to help you take down that guy?"
"Alright, I'm scared of you. Since you're fine, I'll head back to school first."
"Wait a minute."
"Sister Xiang, is there anything else?"
"Little brother, actually sister came to find you today, is to ask for your help."
Huang Chang's words made Chu Zifeng's heart skip a beat. Could it be that he had discovered what happened that night?
Although Chu Zi Feng was very sure that Huang Chang and the others were all unconscious before picking up the box, the work unit where Huang Chang was located was not simple. Tian Long Team is what kind of existence Chu Zi Feng doesn't know, but at such a young age, Huang Chang can become a lieutenant colonel, plus that night with Huang Chang together those people also have a military commander, this military commander is not any soldier has the qualifications to be called, that is the title of Major General!
Could it be that they've found out about me tailing Huang Zong and taking that box?
Chu Zi Wind asked tentatively: "Sister Yu, I'm just a college student, how can I help you? You're a lieutenant colonel in the Yanjing Military Region!"
Huang Xiang smiled and said, "Zi Feng, little brother, you really think your sister is too powerful. It's true that I'm currently in the Yanjing Military Region and hold the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, but our organization doesn't belong to the Yanjing Military Region. The people from the Yanjing Military Region have never seen us before. We directly report to the Central Military Commission."
Chu Zi's face was covered in sweat, what kind of person had he just met? The Central Military Commission, that was countless times more powerful than the Yanjing Military Region. All military forces and regions across the country were under its command!
"Sister Xiang, I'm a timid person, don't scare me! I haven't done anything wrong either!"
"Who says you've done something wrong? Even if you really did do something wrong, it's not like we're in charge of you. The things we're in charge of are beyond your imagination. However, if you have any trouble, no matter how big or small, just give your sister a call and with my abilities, I can still help you solve the problem."
After hearing Huang Chang's words, Chu Zifeng finally felt at ease, at least she didn't know that she had been following her that night.
After a pause, Huang Xiang said: "However, Brother Zi Feng, you have to help your sister first today."
Since it wasn't about that night, Chu Zi Feng didn't have much to worry about and directly asked: "Sister Yu, what do you need my help with? As long as I can do it, I'll definitely help you."
"It's actually no big deal, I just recently played the stock market with others and ended up losing a lot. So, I was thinking of asking Brother Zi Feng to help me earn back the money."
"Ah! Sister Xiang, you're not joking, are you? You're Dongxie, and yet you also lost money on stocks!"
Chu Zi Feng couldn't believe it. With Huang Chang's level of expertise as a hacker, although he was ranked below himself, these simple stocks shouldn't have been a problem for her, so why did she end up losing money?
"Zi Feng, little brother, have you forgotten the rules of our Wu Jue? We can't maliciously attack any company, or else why would I have lost so much money!"
"But you can't attack those companies, I couldn't either, otherwise, Xi Du and them will blame me for it."
"Who told you to attack those companies? Xiao Feng, little brother, I know your math is good, your hacking skills are among the top five in our group, and you're also a genius in economics. How about this, you help me with stock trading, if we make money, I'll give you half of it."
Actually, Chu Zi Feng had thought of using stocks to make money before, but when he was in the orphanage, he didn't even have any capital. Every day, he only had a few yuan in pocket money, let alone speculate in stocks, even buying a bowl of fried rice was a problem.
Now Chu Zi Feng has tens of millions on him, and he's short of money himself, why not use that ill-gotten wealth to play the stock market?!
Two hundred thousand seems a bit less, either make a big profit or don't make any!
At this thought, Chu Zifeng said: "Sister Yu, you want me to help you speculate in stocks is not a problem, but if we win money I don't want a single cent."
"Little brother, what do you want? Whatever you want, sister will give it to you."
"I just heard you say outside that you lost 100,000 yuan. It seems like you're still a young rich woman. How about this: if you believe me, lend me 100,000 yuan and put another 100,000 yuan with me, for a total of 200,000 yuan. One month later, I guarantee to give you 500,000 yuan."
Huang Chang wrote out a check without hesitation and said, "Zi Feng, little brother, don't say anything about borrowing or not. Here's 500,000 yuan, take it and do whatever you want with it. Just let me know when you've made more money."
Chu Zi's heart was filled with great joy, he had secured 5 million yuan in funding, adding to his own 2 million, and now it was time to let the money roll in. After all these years of learning, aside from that painting competition four years ago, it was time for something new.
With a glance, Chu Zifeng looked at the necklace worn by Huang Chang, which was a white crystal stone in a triangular shape. This made Chu Zifeng somewhat surprised - how did this crystal stone resemble one of the raw materials recorded in the "Refining Treasure Classic"?
Chu Zi Feng involuntarily asked: "Sister Yu, is what you're wearing on your neck 'Hanying Stone'?"
Huang Chang said: "Yes! ... Zi Feng little brother, how did you know this is 'Ice Stone'?"
"Uh, I saw it in a miscellaneous book."
"Is it? Even in the ordinary world, there are books that have written about 'Bing Xue Shi'. Strange, I didn't know!"
"Sister Ling, is your 'Ice Stone' useful? If it's useless, can you give it to me?"
According to the "Refining Treasure Classic", the "Ice Stone" is produced at the top of the Great Snow Mountain, extremely rare and rarely seen. If carried on the body in an ordinary environment, there will be no change, but if the temperature reaches thirty degrees or higher, the "Ice Stone" will produce a slight cold air, making the wearer feel as if they are in a cool autumn, without feeling any heat at all.
"Zi Feng, little brother, you also know the wonderful use of 'Hàn Bīng Shí'! Hehe, okay, since you're willing to help your sister make a lot of money, I'll give this 'Hàn Bīng Shí' to you."
After finishing speaking, Huang Xiang took off the necklace and gave it to Chu Zifeng.
Chu Zi's heart was overjoyed once again, with this "Ice Stone", if he could find a few more original materials, then he would be able to refine a magical weapon!
"By the way, Xiangjie, do you know where there are antique shops in Yanjing?"
"It seems like there's one near this hospital, are you going to buy antiques?"
"No, I can't afford it now either. I'm just interested in antiques and want to take a look... Alright, Xiang Jie, you continue pretending to be ill here, I'll leave first."
"Hey, Xiao Feng, little brother, don't forget to help me make a fortune!"
Chu Zi Feng made an OK gesture, meaning "Don't worry, I won't let you lose".
