Chapter 45: Charging into Fire and Water, Unflinching!

How much?!

Each White Quality Item can be worth five hundred yuan?!

That figure made Zhao Gang feel a bit dizzy.

The instinct of a financial analyst let him finish the profit calculation in less than 0.1 seconds!

Crazy!

This goddamn thing is literally crazy!

In today's world, what does the altar's arrival mean for the lower strata?

It means three chances a day to overturn fate!

Precisely because of that, many people go bankrupt just to buy expensive items to gamble!

But for his fellow patients...

All share the same illness, are at a dead end, let alone buying costly altar offerings!

Every day they scavenge unwanted trash to sacrifice, taking a guaranteed White Quality Item.

Use it if useful; if not, set it aside.

And if he acts as a middleman, buying from them...

If it's two hundred each, net profit three hundred!

One day! One person! He could earn nine hundred!

What about ten people?!

What about a hundred people?!

This... this isn't making money!

This is printing money with junk!

"Gurgle..."

Zhao Gang struggled to swallow his saliva, his Adam's apple bobbing.

That brain, long numbed and near‑stagnant from despair, was now racing wildly.

No!

Something's wrong!

Under heaven, there is absolutely no such boon!

This young man... this Boss Su... what does he want?!

The world bustles, all for profit.

The world teems, all heading toward profit.

In other words...

Those things others overlook for him...

Are most likely valuable!

Cold sweat instantly soaked Zhao Gang's back.

His guess is basically never wrong!

This differs from those flashy scams promising huge returns!

Because... he's so poor nothing can be swindled from him!

"Su... Boss Su..."

Zhao Gang's voice was hoarsely severe.

"You... you must have your own demands for doing this, right?"

He isn't a fool; he won't press further.

But he knows clearly that behind sky‑high profit lies equal—if not harsher—conditions!

"Hehe."

Su Ming smiled.

Dealing with smart people is just easier.

"Zhao Shu... I'm giving you a chance!"

He walked to the window, watching the occasional pedestrians below, his voice flat.

"My demand is simple."

"First."

Su Ming extended a finger.

"No matter what price you sell fragments or buy items at!"

"Throughout, you must not mention me!"

"From start to finish, I must not exist!"

"What I want you to do is build a trading circle of your own! Do you understand?"

Zhao Gang's heart sank sharply.

He can understand!

This is a seal clause!

It's the highest‑level confidentiality agreement!

Boss Su wants to hide himself completely behind the scenes!

In other words...

The secret in his hands could be large enough to invite a death‑bringing calamity!

And I myself am the white glove pushed onto the stage! Firewall!

These huge profits…

Want to take them?

You have to pay the risk!

"Second."

Su Ming's eyes were completely fixed on Zhao Gang.

"I have my own way to discern the authenticity of the items."

"If you receive counterfeit goods, you bear the consequences yourself!"

"So, Zhao Shu, when you choose a collaborator, keep your eyes sharp."

"Decide for yourself what kind of person is suitable for a deal and what kind is prone to getting burned."

"What I want is efficiency, stability, and a constant flow!"

Su Ming shifted his tone, a curve lifting the corner of his mouth.

"Of course, you can also choose not to act."

"I'll spend a thousand yuan to buy these two items!"

"Then our interaction ends here."

"The path, you choose yourself."

Dead silence.

In the room, only Zhao Gang's heavy, cow‑like breathing remained.

This young man…

The aura and pressure of the superior were too strong.

But that only further shows the ability of the person before me.

Working with him offers a way out!

Zhao Gang's mind wavered between two choices.

Choosing the former is walking a tightrope.

Choosing the latter is temporary stability.

But…

He truly doesn't want to return to that desperate cycle of begging for a few hundred yuan of medicine!

Only by dancing on the abyss can his daughter see hope!

"I'll do it!"

Zhao Gang jerked his head up; his blood‑veined eyes were filled with the madness of betting everything!

"Boss Su! Rest assured!"

"Although I'm down and out, I, Zhao Gang, once managed hundreds at a company—what monsters haven't I seen?!"

"I know what to do!"

"As long as… as long as you're willing to give me this chance!"

"I'll plunge into fire and water without hesitation!"

Zhao Gang's body trembled slightly.

It wasn't fear, but excitement!

He had a premonition…

This might be his Unique chance to turn the tables!

"Very good."

Su Ming nodded with satisfaction.

He walked over and placed the two white items into his dual‑shoulder backpack.

From start to finish, he never employed dimensional space in front of Zhao Gang.

Although they say "do not employ those you suspect, and do not doubt those you employ."

But a guard against others cannot be absent!

"Deal with that fragment as soon as possible."

"When the work is mostly done, contact me again."

After Su Ming finished speaking, he opened the door, and his figure vanished into the dim hallway.

Some words need not be said at length.

After stepping out, Su Ming walked straight toward the residential complex where his home is.

He suddenly realized…

His mindset had completely changed, though he didn't know when.

At least before, he would never have given away a twenty‑thousand‑yuan item for free!

But now…

Just a mere twenty thousand!

If Zhao Gang can't resist even this small temptation and runs away for such a trivial gain,

It only proves he misjudged the person.

Such a clown doesn't deserve to be the first link of his "Garbage Recycling Network"!

Or, Zhao Gang takes the fragment out and is directly deceived and robbed…

That likewise proves he lacks the ability to wield this wealth, and cannot stand in this cannibalistic world!

Soon, Su Ming returned to his residential complex and entered his parents' bedroom.

After slipping the couple's photo album into his backpack, he stepped out again.

"Hmm?"

But the moment he stepped outside, a very strange feeling surged up.

It was as if… an invisible pair of eyes were secretly watching him.

Since his body has been repeatedly reinforced by Source Blood, his five senses have become extremely acute.

Coupled with the unfathomable sensation from the Fate Pocketwatch…

It's definitely not baseless!

"Interesting!"

Su Ming kept his composure and, following his original plan, walked straight into a large shopping mall.

It was a little past seven p. m.

The supermarket was bustling with people coming and going, at the peak of its liveliness.

Lights shone brightly, and the noise was clamorous.

This place was the best spot for testing.

It was fine… time for a crazy shopping spree!

"I, Su, swear that tomorrow I will absolutely not eat instant noodles!"
