Chapter 484: Can You Afford to Look Up to Me?

Beep——

With the end of the communication, the room quieted down again.

After a moment, Sima Yurao slowly spoke.

"Contact a legal-type High-tier Intelligent Life."

"In my name, investigate the assets left behind by Ma Huainan."

"See if we can recover some assets from those loan companies."

"Yes, Master," the Intelligent Life responded.

Sima Yurao looked out the window and continued to add:

"The recovered assets… transfer all of them to Ma Huainan's parents."

"In addition, take a portion of the funds from there to hire a demigod from the security company in their Star Domain."

"Protect the safety of the two of them."

The Intelligent Life noticeably paused for a split second, as if it didn't expect its master to make such a decision.

…

At night, Sima Yurao stood by the window, looking at the brilliant starry sky.

After a long while, she opened flychat.

She found a contact and sent a message.

"I want a male model."

"Requirement… looks like my ex-husband."

Not long after the message was sent, the other party replied quickly.

"Young Miss Sima, I wonder what level of strength is needed?"

"We have God-level ones here."

Sima Yurao looked at the message and replied calmly:

"Demigod, Gods are too expensive."

The other party replied almost in a second.

"Understood! Young Miss Sima, rest assured."

"Arranging it immediately."

…

The fall of a Peerless Prodigy-tier Human Race Genius quickly spread through the Five Great Families.

Although quite a few Sima Family Gods were somewhat unhappy about this, most Gods just shook their heads and didn't care too much.

Divine Kingdom War was inherently this cruel.

So what if you were a Peerless Prodigy?

When the cost of a war had already exceeded the value one could bring, death was still unavoidable.

A Genius was ultimately just a Genius.

Before growing up, they would die just the same.

In contrast, the other several Families were filled with more shock and curiosity.

After this battle, one person's name had completely spread through the Five Great Families.

Even those high-and-mighty High-tier Gods had heard this name.

Lu Mingshi!

A shut-in who stayed at home all day and was supported by his parents.

A mama's boy who seemed to have no prospects in the eyes of the outside world.

No one expected that this seemingly unremarkable man on usual days hid so deeply.

With his own strength, he forcefully beat over a dozen Tier 3 Gods into continuous retreat.

Such terrifying strength naturally made everyone look at him with sidelong glances.

It also made countless people begin to re-examine this Lu Family Young Master whom they had once ignored for the first time.

…

Lu Family territory.

At this moment, Lu Mingshi was leisurely staying in his own room.

However, his flychat suddenly vibrated crazily.

"Beep, beep, beep…"

"Beep, beep, beep…"

In just a short moment, his friend requests had actually exceeded a thousand!

Lu Mingshi's mouth twitched slightly, "Are these people crazy?"

He casually opened the friend request list.

Sure enough, there were all sorts of people in it.

"Young Master Lu, I heard that you walk the Corpse Cultivator path. Our company's main business is Corpse Flowers, rotten bone grass, and other Corpse Cultivator spiritual materials."

"Our company's chairman believes that your Divine Kingdom development direction highly aligns with our company's corporate culture, and hopes to have an in-depth communication with you."

"The position of the company's deputy general manager has always been vacant, with a monthly salary of ten thousand Divinity Points. Young Master Lu, what do you think…"

…

"President Lu, the immortal army soul stele doesn't seem to have much use for your Divine Kingdom. I wonder if you have any intention of selling it?"

"The price is definitely fair, and will never let President Lu suffer a loss!"

…

"Young Master Lu, I am the HR Director of Yuandan Co., Ltd. …"

…

"Big Brother Lu, I am a person from the Qin Family."

"I heard that Big Brother Lu is still single nowadays, and I wonder if there is a chance to meet…"

…

Message after message crazily refreshed the screen.

Even after being filtered by the Intelligent Life, leaving only the most important batch, it still gave Lu Mingshi a headache.

"Reject!"

"Reject all of them for me!"

Lu Mingshi directly selected all with one click.

Afterward, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Offering such a low price, and you have the nerve to invite me?"

"When my mom used to come to your door asking for help to arrange a job, you said one moment that it was unsuitable, and another moment that the position was full."

"What? Now you remember me, Lu Mingshi?"

Lu Mingshi sneered.

"Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river!"

"Can you afford to look up to me now?"

As for those messages actively seeking to go on blind dates with him, they filled Lu Mingshi with even more disgust.

"Still want a blind date? Just a gold-digger!"

"When my mom used to help me arrange blind dates before, which one of them wasn't putting on an arrogant and bossy attitude?"

"Every single one of them thought walking the Corpse Cultivator path had no future, saying things like it only has input and no output."

"Now that they think I am awesome, every single one of them has jumped out!"

"Do you have any shame?"

The more Lu Mingshi spoke, the more excited he became.

In the end, he directly selected all with one click and rejected them all!

As the friend requests disappeared one by one.

Lu Mingshi only felt refreshed.

"Ah, comfortable. That's more like it."

Right at this moment, the voice of the Intelligent Life suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Master, Yang Corporation does not have work arrangements."

"Would you consider choosing a high-paying part-time job?"

"After all, the development of the Divine Kingdom requires consuming a massive amount of resources."

Hearing this, Lu Mingshi waved his hand.

"Unnecessary. How it was developed before is how it will be developed now."

"Besides, five hundred thousand Divinity Points a month."

"When using Mom's intimate payment, I'm afraid there wasn't even a fraction of this number, right?"

Thinking of this, the smile on Lu Mingshi's face became even brighter.

"A person must know how to be content."

"Any job requires paying a value that matches the income."

"If you don't have that capability yourself, don't force it."

"Besides, how great is it to work at Yang Corporation?"

"I don't have to do anything; I just need to take the blame."

Speaking of this, Lu Mingshi was even somewhat proud.

"Anyway, I have minimal contact with the outside world usually."

"Even if someone really wants to deduce my Divine Kingdom coordinates, I'm afraid they can't even gather my basic information completely."

"This kind of job is simply tailored for me."

Lu Mingshi patted his own chest.

"I, Lu Mingshi, was born to eat this bowl of rice!"

After saying these words, he couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth no matter how hard he tried.

This scapegoat he took on not only didn't cause him a loss, but instead found him a long-term meal ticket!

Without Mom's intimate payment, he gained an even more stable and generous source of income instead.

A blessing in disguise.

Right at this moment, the Intelligent Life suddenly spoke.

"Master, your mother sent a message."

"She said the birthday banquet requires your personal attendance."

Hearing this, Lu Mingshi's brows instantly furrowed.

"Just say I am preparing for a new round of Divine Kingdom War and have no time to bother with these trivial matters. Help me reject it."

Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something else.

"Oh right, please have Mother transfer all the gift money received to me."

"I won't look at those gift lists; let Father keep them himself to return gifts."

"Consider it as me getting married, and he completed a son."

"…"

The Intelligent Life was silent for a moment.

"Master, do you really want to send such a message?"
