Chiding and mocking aside, An Wen still needed to bail his friend out.
After explaining to the young ladies and allowing them to enjoy themselves on their own, An Wen left and drove towards the police station.
However, along the way to the station, An Wen received another call.
This time, it was not his childhood friend, Zhou Zhe, who was calling, but instead his friend’s father.
“Xiao An, you don’t need to come over anymore.” Zhou Zhe’s father said.
“Well, Uncle Zhou, don’t be angry.” An Wen replied.
“Hmph… he won’t be forgiven so easily this time. Alright, let’s not talk about him anymore. It’s already very late, you should head home quickly.”
“Alright, I’ll be heading back then.”
“Sure.”
An Wen hung up the call and shrugged helplessly.
“It’s not that I didn’t want to save you, but I couldn’t.”
This time around, it was going to be tough on Zhou Zhe.
Uncle Zhou was unlike An Wen’s father – he was a ‘ruthless’ man.
Coming at an intersection, An Wen made a u-turn and began heading back to his hotel.
…
When An Wen awoke the following day, it was already past 10 a.m.
The young ladies had already left.
Holding up his mobile phone, An Wen realized that there were two missed calls and several WeChat messages.
The missed calls were from his father who called at around 8 a.m. An Wen did not answer the calls, so his father sent a WeChat message to him.
“Call me when you are awake.”
Why is Dad looking for me?
An Wen thought about it, but was not bothered. He would know when he returned the call later.
The rest of the messages were sent by ‘Little Expert in Relieving Worries’.
He was inquiring about the service quality and his satisfaction level with the girls, as well as whether there were any aspects that required improvement.
Just look at that.
What a perfect example of having a high standard of customer service.
“Extremely satisfied.”
After An Wen sent a reply, he got out of bed to wash up, and ordered a breakfast meal in the process.
Finishing his breakfast, he then left the hotel.
As he was driving, An Wen called his father.
“Dad, what’s the matter? … Oh, negotiations for the stone material has concluded, 6.8 million yuan per cubic meter? … Negative air ions… Does our stone material even have such a capability? … Alright, I understand, bye.”
Ending the call, An Wen was overjoyed.
He was already feeling exhilarated after letting off steam the previous night.
Now, to top it off, his stone material business deal had also been closed successfully.
The deal would originally not have been settled that quickly.
However, the other party had taken the stone material to be examined, fearing that it could be harmful to humans.
After all, it would be wise to ensure that the top-tier stone material was flawless in all aspects.
In the end, the examination revealed that the stone material from the other world would release a great number of negative ions into the air when it was under sunlight and its temperature rose.
Such a result from the examination was completely beyond everyone’s expectations.
What was the significance of negative air ions?
It was beneficial to health!
Such stone material was already meant to be sold in the high-end market, and what did the wealthy require most?
Not luxury, but health.
Yet, An Wen’s stone material provided both health benefits and luxury at the same time, so it was unquestionable that it would be sold at an astronomical price.
Now that the stone material was being sold at 6.8 million yuan per cubic meter, it was considered a low price.
When the stone material becomes more popular and well-known in the future, its price would surely rocket.
It was something that Chairman Zhu understood well.
As such, in their first transaction, Chairman Zhu bought 30 cubic meters of the stone material at once, and that amounted to two hundred million yuan.
Well, the remaining four million yuan the total amounted to seemed insignificant in contrast.
“Having Dad’s help truly makes things simpler. If I had been the one negotiating with Chairman Zhu, the deal would certainly have fallen through from the very beginning.”
An Wen was still extremely self-aware.
Other than ability, his main problem was that he was impatient, and also that he felt that it was a troublesome matter.
A round of negotiations could drag longer than half a month, and An Wen would have ran out of his patience well before that.
Now that his father had lent him a helping hand, An Wen merely needed to prepare the stone materials. With the tasks clearly split, it saved both his effort and energy.
An Wen made his way to the warehouse.
“You may send the building modules of the mixed-use complex now… Yes, yes, it’s still the same warehouse, I’m waiting here… Alright… I’ll be waiting.”
An Wen called the construction company and instructed them to deliver the building modules of the mixed-use complex over to the warehouse.
Previously, the components of the mixed-use complex had not been fully completed, so An Wen told them not to deliver anything.
When the monsters’ siege on the city ended, An Wen got lazy and did not feel like laboring.
As a result, the delivery and assembly of the mixed-use complex was delayed.
Feeling rejuvenated, An Wen finally decided to begin building the mixed-use complex.
“I shall move the stone over from the other world first.”
While waiting for the delivery, An Wen decided to stock up on stone material in the warehouse.
He could not possibly rush over to the other world to transport stone to the real world he had an order – not only would it be troublesome, doing so could also expose the existence of the other world.
As such, by storing a stockpile of stone material in the warehouse, he could simply instruct the other party to receive the stone directly at the warehouse.
After half an hour…
An Wen had stacked 50 cubic meters of the stone material in a corner of the warehouse. It was a sufficient amount to last over a long period of time.
It was past three o’clock in the afternoon.
All of the building modules of the mixed-use complex had been delivered to the warehouse.
After confirming that the building modules were faultless, An Wen directly transferred the remaining 30% of the cost to the company, clearing the balance he had to pay.
Upon doing so, the boss of the company called him personally, hoping to be able to continue working together in the future.
After all, clients like An Wen who were so forthcoming in making payments were few and far between.
For the next three days, An Wen got busy with assembling the mixed-use complex.
The mixed-use complex was the most complicated out of the three buildings he had ordered. It housed the most rooms inside out of any of the buildings, making it extremely troublesome to connect the internal structures of the complex.
Fortunately for An Wen, he was assembling the complex in the game world with the ‘support’ of the game settings, thereby saving him from a great amount of work he would have to do otherwise.
If he was assembling the building on Earth, he might not have even been able to complete it alone after 30 days, let alone three days.
Click!
An Wen installed the main door, which was the final unit of the mixed-use complex.
In an instant, a faint yellow shine flashed over the entire mixed-use complex, then disappeared.
Without even looking at its attributes, An Wen could already tell from the special effect that the mixed-use complex would similarly be an ‘outstanding’ building.
“Building: Multi-functional, Mixed-use Complex”
“Grade: Outstanding”
“Attributes: Speed of Science Research and Development +60%, Speed of Scientific Analysis +55%, Rate of Enhancement of Sketch Quality +50%, Success Rate of Weapon Upgrades +55%, Integrated Engineering Efficiency +55%”
“Special Effects: Research Upgrades List Activated, Control Automation List Activated, Weapon Upgrades List Activated, Knowledge Tree Storage and Consolidation List Activated”
“Income: 350,000 Survival Points / Hour”
Gulp…
When An Wen finished reading the attributes of the mixed-use complex, he forcefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
A total of four lists were activated – it was absolutely amazing!
Firstly, An Wen opened the Research Upgrades List.
“Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Materials, Engineering, and Energy.”
Seven different list branches appeared.
He tapped to open the Mathematics List and the two large words ‘Fundamental Operations’ were shown.
Under Fundamental Operations was a long trail of other skills, none of which could be lit up without first lighting up and activating Fundamental Operations.
However, after looking more closely, An Wen discovered that the number of items he could see in the list was limited.
He could only access ‘Level 1’ contents.
He could not see any of the contents of the higher levels, and neither could he see how many levels there were in total.
“What does ‘Level 1’ mean?”
An Wen pondered the reasoning for a short while – based on the game settings, ‘Level 1’ should only be a scope.
For example, when the wise players of the game Stellaris wanted to upgrade their technology, they had to light up and activate tier T1 first, before tier T2 was made available.
Could this ‘Level 1’ be similar to the tiers in Stellaris?
An Wen could only speculate.
“Whatever, let me light up all the Mathematics skills first before thinking about the rest.”
As a fundamental subject in learning, the skills in Mathematics would likely have to be lighted up and activated before any skills in Physics would be made available.
An Wen lighted up and activated Fundamental Operations.
However, this time, he did not acquire any knowledge.
At the same time, although the corresponding icon lit up, a progress bar and a countdown timer also appeared above.
“3:57 / 4:00”
The times signified that there was a ‘preparation period’ before the skill could be activated.
“Eh… What does this lightning icon do?”
An Wen suddenly noticed a virtual lightning icon at the side.
“Use 500 Survival Points to light up the skill icon immediately.”
An Wen was in a state of folly!
He wanted to exclaim aloud: Stop hiding, I know it’s you, Tencent QQ.
For heaven’s sake…
What a sly tactic!
It only cost 100 Survival Points to light up the skill icon, but to light it up immediately, 500 Survival Points were required – that was a fivefold increase!
An Wen was no stranger to such a sly tactic.
For he frequently yielded to it.
