Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

Gu Changkong stood there in a daze.

His eyes were filled with resentment.

The conditions proposed by Gu Changlin were indeed good, but if he agreed, then all his efforts in the outer city over the years would be a joke.

Just like the fourth brother among the brothers, he has long followed Gu Changlin's lead. It is conceivable that his daily treatment is also good, and his strength has long reached the master level.

His second brother, who didn't want to be a dog for others and didn't have the strength to compete with Gu Changlin, simply chose to lie down. He spent his days in debauchery and neglected his cultivation. Naturally, his strength was mediocre and he became a laughing stock among many people.

Gu Changkong didn't want to be a dog for others, nor did he want to just lie down, so he came here, hoping to make a career with his own hands and attract the attention of his family.

Jiang Cheng’s appearance gave him hope.

As a result, just when he saw some signs, Gu Changlin called him.

Not to mention, there is also a Gu Changjun watching in secret.

"This doesn't give me any hope of turning things around."

Gu Changkong had a bitter look on his face.

But soon, determination appeared in his eyes.

No matter what, he will give it a try this time.

If he just gave up and agreed to Gu Changlin's words, he would probably regret it for the rest of his life.

Give it a try. Even if you fail, you won’t have any regrets when you look back on it later.

He looked at his phone and made a call.

He had originally planned to make this call in about a month, but current events forced him to move up his plans.

"Beep, beep, beep... Hello?"

A middle-aged man's voice sounded on the phone, with a majestic tone.

"Father, it's me."

Gu Changkong spoke.

"I know it's you, what's the matter?"

"Father, I recently recruited a new person. He is very talented in alchemy. In more than two months, he has been able to use five portions of medicinal materials to refine a furnace of top-grade tranquilizing pills." Gu Changkong said hurriedly.

"Oh?"

The middle-aged man's voice was a little surprised, "That boy's name is Jiang Cheng?"

"Father, do you know everything?"

Gu Changkong opened his mouth slightly.

“It’s not like I know everything.”

The middle-aged man smiled faintly, and his tone was a little softer than before. "Your fifth brother told me about this person. He said he was a rare talent and was very loyal to you. You actually rejected his recruitment, so I have some impression of him."

"That's it."

Gu Changkong felt a little bitter.

It is well known in the family that my father favors my fifth brother.

On the one hand, the Bai family is very strong, even stronger than the Gu family. On the other hand, Gu Changjun looks most like him among the brothers.

But he was much stricter towards them. Now, even his tone changed when he mentioned Gu Changjun.

"You called me just to tell me this, right?"

"No, not really."

Gu Changkong's voice trembled a little.

The words came to my lips, but I couldn't say them.

"Not all. What's the matter? Tell me quickly. I don't have that much time to wait for you." The middle-aged man frowned and his voice became majestic again.

"Yes, yes, father, I want to ask you for some support."

Gu Changkong thought of the call from Gu Changlin before, and finally plucked up the courage to speak out.

"Looking for some support?"

The middle-aged man was a little surprised.

"What support do you want?"

"I want to ask you, father, for an advance of 2 billion yuan for medicinal materials."

"An advance of 2 billion for medicinal materials?"

The middle-aged man's pupils shrank slightly. "What for?" "For Jiang Cheng, practice, practice alchemy."

"Are you kidding me?"

The middle-aged man scolded, "To practice alchemy, you need so many medicinal materials? Two billion, you know what this means without me telling you, right?"

Gu Changkong smiled bitterly.

Two billion.

It was indeed a huge number for him.

For a father like him, any treasure he carries with him would cost more than this amount.

If it was Gu Changjun who asked for it, the latter would have agreed long ago.

But there is no way.

"Father, I know this is not a small amount of money, but I have my reasons. I am sorry to take up a few minutes of your time..."

He recounted Jiang Cheng's method of refining the elixir.

"Is there such a thing?"

The middle-aged man was also surprised after hearing this.

"Yes, father, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it, but Jiang Cheng did it. Whether it was a first-grade nourishing spirit pill or a second-grade tranquilizing spirit pill, he could refine a furnace of top-quality pills.
Now, every day, he can refine pills worth 10 million, which is 300 million a month. I can get back all my previous investment in him, but the investment in the third-grade pill is too huge, and I can't afford it, so I hope that you, father, can lend me more than 100 million or 200 million. "

"You trust him so much?"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly.

"There are many high-level alchemists in our family, but there is not a single one who can improve the skills of making the Awakening Pill to perfection."

"Father, I believe Jiang Cheng can do it!"

Gu Changkong said firmly.

The middle-aged man said nothing.

He had no faith in his heart.

Even if Jiang Cheng is really a genius as Gu Changkong said, the difficulty of making the Awakening Pill is obvious.

"Father, I have never asked you for anything since I was a child, but this time, I beg you to give me a chance."

Gu Changkong pleaded.

The voice also choked.

When the middle-aged man heard this, he felt a little ashamed.

Yes, among his several children, Gu Changkong was not his least favorite one, but he did not like him very much either, although he always knew that the former had been trying his best to perform well and make a career to attract his attention.

"Father."

Gu Changkong said again: "If the 2 billion is not recovered, I am willing to be punished and will not have any complaints."

"Since you said so, I'll give you this chance."

The middle-aged man's voice sounded.

To Gu Changkong's ears, it sounded like the sound of nature.

"Thank you, father. Thank you, father."

He quickly thanked her.

"Remember, only this time."

After he finished speaking, the middle-aged man hung up the phone.

Gu Changkong let out a sigh of relief.

Although it was only this time, he still managed to get it.

"Jiang Cheng will definitely be very excited when he hears this news."

Gu Changkong said in his heart.

I couldn't help but want to call the other party and tell him about this.

But on second thought, to be on the safe side, I should wait for the family to send the herbs first. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if something unexpected happened.

If nothing unexpected happens and the medicinal materials do arrive, he believes that the other party in Jiangcheng will never let him down.

Of course, if he was really disappointed, he could only accept it. Perhaps, this was God's will. (End of this chapter)
