Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen finally confronted his parents, taking out his phone to show them his bank balance.

Otherwise, they would never dare to act freely.

"I know you're trying to save money, but we're not short of cash now, so you don't need to worry about money all the time. To be honest, that car outside is mine too!"

Ye's parents stared blankly at the long string of zeros on Ye Chen's phone screen, feeling somewhat dizzy.

Compared to these numbers, what do the cars outside even matter?

Mother Ye rubbed her eyes and carefully counted: "Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, millions, tens of millions..."

When the number reached tens of millions, Ye's mother opened her mouth wide in astonishment, her face filled with disbelief.

Ye's father wasn't much better off; he counted it again, and it was indeed ten million, with a 5 at the beginning.

5000 million! Mr. and Mrs. Ye exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

After the initial shock, Ye's mother was more worried:

"Chen, we can't do things that break the law, you know?!"

Mr. Ye took a deep breath: "We should only spend what we can afford, and we shouldn't take what we shouldn't!"

Ye Chen immediately realized that his parents had misunderstood.

That's true, how could they not know what their own dog son looks like?

The dog son suddenly became rich, with 5000 million yuan in one go. How could the parents not overthink it?

Ye Chen retorted irritably, "Mom and Dad, what are you thinking? This money came from a perfectly legitimate source; I won the lottery. I just haven't told anyone!"

Ye Chen had no choice but to resort to the excuse of winning the lottery again.

We can't exactly say it was money from Old Zhou and the others, because that would complicate things and require a lot of explanation.

After all, the favors given as gifts must be reciprocated; this is called "reciprocity."

His parents will worry that he owes too many favors and won't be able to repay them!

Therefore, Ye Chen could only tell another white lie to simplify the matter.

"Really?" Ye's mother asked hesitantly.

Ye Chen nodded: "It couldn't be more true. Besides, you've all started cultivating now, you're already at the first level of Qi Refining. You need to broaden your horizons. If you can accept something as heaven-defying as cultivation, shouldn't you be even more accepting of worldly wealth and gold?"

"With my current abilities, making money would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it? So all the money is clean, you can spend it without worry!"

Ye Chen reassured his parents.

When Ye Chen said this, Ye's parents thought it made sense.

If you can accept something as unbelievable as cultivation, then what else can't you accept?

It's just 5000 million, isn't it?

Oh, 5000 million? That's still a bit hard to accept...

Seeing that the two elders were still somewhat stunned, Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Dad, buy whatever car you want. I see your screensaver is a Wrangler, so why not just get one this time!"

"Mom, give Dad 50 to buy a car, don't restrict him anymore. I'll give you another 50 for working capital. You can help collect some old, unsold goods in the future, and you can also replenish your own supplies."

"Since you don't have anything else to do, just focus on your cultivation. I have a surprise for you when you reach the third level of Qi Refining!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen pulled out another card: "The password is the same as mine, my birthday. There's also 50 in it. You and Dad each get 50. I'm treating everyone equally!"

Ye's mother took the bank card from Ye Chen in a daze, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Finally, Mr. Ye grinned and said, "Hehe, my son has made something of himself!"

Ye Chen could tell that his father seemed to have been relieved of a burden, and his whole body seemed a little lighter!

"Since it's a son's way of showing filial piety, then I'll accept the money. You're right, we've even cultivated ourselves, so what are these mere material possessions? We should be more open-minded. I'll order a Jeep Wrangler online later. I've lived most of my life, so I should also benefit from my son's generosity!"

At this moment, Ye's father smiled very happily.

Ye's mother finally stopped saying anything, but her eyes were a little red and she had a smile on her lips.

Seeing my parents so happy, perhaps this is the meaning of working hard and making money.

Of course, Ye Chen's cheat code is much easier than that of ordinary people.

After giving his instructions, Ye Chen handed each of the two elders a protective jade talisman: "These two talismans were specially made for you. Keep them with you at all times; they can protect you from a calamity!"

Ye Chen was relieved after personally watching the two elders put them on!

After explaining a few more things, Ye Chen got into the car with Da Huang.

This time, Big Yellow couldn't open the door by itself; the car was a bit high, and its legs weren't long enough...

On the bus, Da Huang didn't waste a single second diligently learning to recognize characters, and the joy of learning was fully reflected in its actions.

Ye Chen thought to himself that if he had had that kind of study drive back then, he probably would have gotten into Peking University.

The more ambitious Gouzi was, the more gratified Ye Chen became.

The phone wasn't a waste of money for Dahuang, although... well...

Ye Chen arrived at the Longjin residential area in Lucheng at 11 a.m.

Ah Long was cleaning the yard when he saw Ye Chen return and hurriedly came out to greet him: "Brother Ye, you're finally back!"

Ye Chen nodded: "How's things going at the traditional Chinese medicine clinic?"

Ah Long goes to the Chinese medicine clinic every day, so asking him questions is the right thing to do.

"I've observed them, and those guys definitely don't seem like good people. I was thinking of going to investigate them yesterday, but Old Li told me not to alert them, so I didn't make a move!"

Ye Chen nodded.

With Ah Long's current skills, he should have no problem finding the enemy, but it was right not to alert them.

"Have Wenlong come over to our house, let's have a meal and talk about this!"

"Okay!" Ah Long went to the side to make a phone call.

About half an hour later, Li Wenlong arrived. Ye Chen noticed he was wearing a mask and had his head down, so he frowned slightly. "Take off your mask and look up!"

Li Wenlong was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare disobey Ye Chen's words, so he could only take off his mask and raise his head to reveal his panda eyes.

Li Wenlong's cheek was swollen on one side and his eye socket was bruised, clearly indicating that he had been severely beaten.

"Old Li, you, you, how did you become like this?" Ah Long's eyes widened.

"What's going on?" Ye Chen's voice turned cold.

Li Wenlong lowered his head again: "Master, it's all my fault for not being skilled enough. Last night after get off work, I was ambushed and sacked. If it were just two or three people facing me head-on, I wouldn't be afraid, but there were seven or eight of them..."

"Did they just hit you? Did they say anything?" Ye Chen's voice returned to calm.

"Yes, they said we should be sensible and close down, otherwise... otherwise they wouldn't mind sending us to the hospital for ten days to half a month. They even smashed the signboard of our TCM clinic!"

Li Wenlong's voice weakened as he spoke.

"These bastards are going too far!" Ah Long gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
