Chapter 91: Every Parent is Concerned for their Children

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the Sky Provisions Shop...

“Morning boss,” said Seven Ears smilingly, but he was shocked to see Bella behind Lin Jie. ‘Boss really has amazingly good taste.’

Lin Jie raised his chin. “I’ll introduce you to a new colleague, Bella, she will be working here temporarily. Seven Ear, help by guiding her more.”

Bella was astonished while looking at the shop. ‘As expected, this person is really the Sky Provision Shop’s hidden owner! OMG, I am really working for a financial magnate!’

However, she quickly calmed down, the contract she signed included many secrecy terms. If she dared to leak any information, the consequences would be extremely severe!

“Welcome beautiful.” Seven Ear grinned, such a big beauty working with him, any man would jump for joy.

Lin Jie took out a pink robe from his inventory. “Wear it.”

Bella looked at the robe and gave an inquiry look towards Lin Jie. ‘This guy, didn’t he hire me to let me attract the eyes of the customers?’

“Wear it, from now on, throw all your revealing clothes away,” Lin Jie strictly said, “Starting today, you shall walk on the path of earning money through labor.”

Bella’s eyes suddenly became a little wet, and she nodded her head seriously. “Thank you.”

Lin Jie nodded his head and checked the transactions of the shop. Due to his bribery actions, he had nearly emptied the Sky Provision Shop’s game coins. However, what he did not expect was that in just three days, such a short period of time, it had actually accumulated 45 gold coins.

Seven Ears noticed the expression in Lin Jie’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but puff out his chest. Then, he said as if he was flaunting, “Boss, these are mostly provided to us by the lone wolf players.”

“Lone wolves?” Lin Jie suddenly remembered the batch of Augmenting Gems, which did not produce any economic gains, that was even sold at a loss. But what he did not expect was that it had brought huge popularity for the shop.

“Yes, there are already about 3,000 players helping our shop in gold farming full-time. These people are spread all around Prague City, Sunshine City and the City of Evening Mist... the number of gold coins obtained every day was 20 gold coins! As for their benefits, they could use reward points to exchange for equipment. After their levels surpass the equipment level, they could exchange for a certain amount of reward points again.”

After listening to Seven Ear’s report, Lin Jie could not help but nod his head repeatedly. As the number of players entering the game increased, this measure would become a recruiting method like a perpetual motion machine, having more and more players willingly help farm Gold for Sky Provision Shop.

If the Auction House was opened on top of it, creating teams to gather high-grade equipment, that cycle would then be completely, firmly finalized.

“You’ve done well, looks like you have more talent than me.” Lin Jie laughed heartily, not stingy at all with his words of praises.

Seven Ears was touched, and he said, “Boss, don’t say this. If not for you, I don’t even know where I would be right now.”

Lin Jie patted his shoulder heavily and started to split the profits gained recently.

As the cash exchange system was made open to the public, the Sky Provisions Shop also started to allow cash exchange, of course, the price would be much higher.

Seven Ears looked at the number in his bank card, there were four 0s behind the 2! This was totally unimaginable in the past! Seven Ear’s gratitude towards the boss was as though the unceasing flow of a river! His determination to continue following his boss became even more firm!

Taking out the gold coins that were stored, Lin Jie entered the shop and opened the page.

—’Do you choose to spend 20 gold coins to upgrade the shop?’

“Yes!”

Upgrading the shop needed 10 hours, after upgrading, the shop size would increase, another level would be built and the second level would be a place especially for the life jobs to create potions.

“Keep up the good work,” instructed Lin Jie.

“Yes!” After listening to their conversation, Bella was instantly filled with confidence to the new boss. As long as she worked hard, she believed that he would definitely not mistreat her!

After settling the matters properly, Lin Jie continued farming for the Steel Shemendes Mantle. This time his luck was not bad as a new fragment was dropped.

Taking a look at the time, it was only half an hour away from the system maintenance, so Lin Jie removed his helmet and went offline!

———

After leaving the virtual world, Lin Jie moved around to loosen his muscles. He decided to log onto the official website to check the contents about the “War of Light” since the memory of it in his previous life was quite far away. Lin Jie only had a fuzzy image of it in his mind, so he needed the information to supplement.

Kuang!

It seemed to be the sound of a basin landing on the ground. Lin Jie was shocked, and he rushed out of his room.

He only saw his mother holding a piece of paper in excitement, the basin was twirling on the ground, the sound of it banging the ground could still be heard.

“Mom, what happened?” asked Lin Jie doubtfully.

“Son, come here.” said his mother gently and hugged Lin Jie, carefully caressing his hair. “That’s great, that’s great. I thought you wouldn’t get in, your dad always wore a troubled look and had been worrying about this all day long, but he didn’t want to bother you from working...”

Listening to his mother’s nagging, Lin Jie finally reacted. ‘The notice of acceptance has finally come!’

Lin Jie already knew that he would be admitted into the university, so he did not keep this matter in his mind. But seeing his mother’s reaction now, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

What parents anticipated the most was for their children to be successful in life in the future and in their eyes, studying was the sole road to that success.

“Let’s go, let’s go, go and tell your father about it, let’s go.” His mother could not wait and pulled Lin Jie along, heading towards the construction site.

The time now was in the afternoon where the sun was the hottest, the noises that cicadas generated just made people feel annoyed. Just by walking a few steps, the surface of one’s skin was filled with sweat.

“Yo, Sister-in-law is here!” The foreman smiled as he greeted, “Old Lin is inside there, go over there.”

“Okay, okay,” said Lin Jie’s mother as she smiled.

Lin Jiawu was honest in his work, and he never dawdled his working time. Every day, he could always spend all his strength on the construction site. The foreman saw this and also secretly raised his salary, but he was rejected by the stubborn father with a serious face. He even left a grand statement of, “How much work I did is how much money I’ll take, I won’t accept more, you can’t give me less either.” That had left the foreman dumbfounded, unsure whether to cry or to laugh.

Lin Jiawu was wearing his helmet and a dirty uniform on his body, doing his best at shoveling cement.

A lump came into Lin Jie’s throat. Having a friend that was born with a silver spoon, he should have had a better life, but his father insisted on not accepting others’ repayment. He even instructed Lin Jie again and again that him helping Zheng Ziliang originally was only natural and that he could not make use of the gratitude and think that he was entitled to some compensation.

When Lin Jie earned money in the game, he also wanted to take it out to help improve his family’s life, but he could not do that! What he wanted was not only being affluent, not worrying about food and clothes. He wanted even more! Only then, could his family be safe.

In his bank card, he had only saved $40,000. That was the available funds that Brotherhood, Sky Provisions Shop and himself had saved up till now. The rest of the money had other uses so it could not be touched for the time being.

Lin Jiawu stood up, the dust flying all around the construction site carved wrinkles on his face. Still keeping a straight face, he asked, “What are the both of you doing here?”

Lin Jie’s mother ignored his long face that was there for tens of years and said in a joyous tone, “Look what is this?”

The eyes of Lin Jiawu were glued on the notice of acceptance, unable to shift them anymore. He stared at it for quite a while before a smile appeared on his dry face. He moved closer to Lin Jie step by step and stretched out his hand that was full of dust to rub his hair, making it until it was like a bird’s nest. Three words were blurted out from his father’s mouth, “Good! Very good!”

Lin Jie raised his head and grinned.

“Your dirty hand...” Lin Jie’s mother hurriedly hit away her husband’s hand and grumbled.

Lin Jiawu was in a great mood and laughed heartily. “So what? This brat was my seed, hahaha.”

“Old Lin, how come your old face is full of smiles today?” asked the foreman.

“My son got accepted into university!” he replied showing the notice of acceptance in his hand as cheerfully as a kid. He patted his son and wife and then smiled. “Let’s go, it’s your father’s treat, I’ll bring you all to eat out at a restaurant.”

Normally, Lin Jiawu had to work till seven before he would rest, so him leaving like that made many workers shout in curiosity.

“Old Lin, where are you going?”

“My son got accepted into university, going out to eat!”

“Old Lin, leaving so early today?”

“Yeah, my son got accepted into university.”

All the way, Lin Jie could hear that same sentence ‘My son got accepted into university.’ His father, who kept a straight face all year round, finally had a smiling face as he removed his helmet today. He stuffed it into the hands of the foreman and laughed heartily as he said, “Old Zhou, I’ll end work today first, my son...”

“I know, your son got accepted into university. Even from such a distance, I could hear you.” The foreman laughed. He took out $300 from his pocket and took a red packet to pack it in, stuffing it to Lin Jie. “Jie, you did not let your parents down, come, this is a small reward uncle is giving you, accept it.”

Lin Jie shook his head. “Thank you uncle, but I can’t take it.”

“Give what money?” Lin Jiawu started to keep a straight face again.

Looking at that pair of old and young stubborn donkeys, the foreman could only keep his red packet while smiling bitterly. “You brat, your temper is the same as your father. Go, go, have a good celebration.”

——————

Outside the gate of Jiang City’s No. 1 Senior High School, Lin Jie’s family of three was standing there waiting to fetch Xiaoxue from school.

As it was nearing the college entrance examinations, Xiaoxue had to go to school every day for remedial. However, Lin Jie’s sister gladly endured this hardship. She understood, the more hardworking she was, the lesser the burden of the family.

“Ding— Ding—”

The peculiar bell of Jiang City No. 1 Senior High School rang, and the originally quiet school instantly became restless, bustling with students as they could not wait to rush towards the school gate, leaving the school as if escaping from something. While they threw their bags ruthlessly onto the seats of their parents’ cars, they complained about doing several examination papers today again and how much homework the teacher gave...

Lin Jiawu looked at the students who entered the cars and said softly, “My daughter would never complain like that.”

His wife teased him and said, “Yes, your daughter is amazing, it is all because of you.”

“You played a part too,” he replied laughingly.

The first batch of students had already left, and the three of them were still waiting at the gate.

Lin Jiawu said again, “My daughter would not leave so early, she must still be revising in the classroom.”

Lin Jie and his mother looked at each other and laughed.

As time passed, the scorching sun also slowly withdrew its arrogant flames, the sky even darkened a little.

Finally, Lin Xiaoxue’s figure appeared below the school building, she carried her backpack and walked towards the gate.

Lin Jie was about to wave his hand to say hello, but a guy ran out from behind and kept on pestering Xiaoyue, circling around her.

That person had quite a handsome face, a small portion of his hair was dyed yellow, and his jeans had quite the number of holes, not sure if it was something decorative or just not sewed for a long time.

“Wu Jun, stop pestering me!” Xiaoxue was so angry that she stomped her foot.

“Xiaoxue, it is very dangerous for you to go home this late, you can sit in my car...” Wu Jun ignored Lin Xiaoxue’s impatience, his eyes scanning Xiaoxue’s developing body.

A girl in puberty was as though a flower waiting to bloom, some of the places were already slightly bulging. Her temperament like the flower that was still a bud made people even more touched.

Dong—

Wu Jun’s body came to an abrupt stop, in front of him stood a person with a dark face and cold eyes.

“Scram!” Lin Jie said this one word.
