Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 44 Trivial Matters

Having just returned home from the wilderness, Yang Wu was completely relaxed.

Therefore, Yang Wu did not cultivate that night. After purchasing the manual, he went to wash up and go to bed.

The next morning, Yang Wu was awakened by the sunlight streaming through the window; it was already past six in the morning.

It was the height of summer, and the sun rose early. Moreover, the Mingyue residential area had excellent lighting conditions; in contrast, in the Lanta residential area where Yang Wu's family used to live, the sunlight probably wouldn't have been able to penetrate the rooms at all.

"This is probably the most peaceful sleep I've had in the past two weeks!"

Stretching, Yang Wu muttered to himself.

Even when resting in the wilderness, knowing that teammates are on guard, probably no one dares to fully relax. After all, the wilderness is fraught with danger, and peril can strike at any moment.

But things are different at home. First, this is a base city, so there is a great deal of security. Second, and most importantly, there are family members at home, which is naturally different from other places.

Yang Wu washed up and went downstairs, only to find his parents and younger brother already waiting for him to eat.

"Second brother, come and eat! You got up way too late today, I'm starving!"

Upon seeing Yang Wu appear, Yang Fan, who was sitting at the dinner table, quickly called out.

Normally, Yang Wu would get up just as dawn broke, but today he slept until after six o'clock.

"It feels so good to have a home!"

When Yang Wu heard Yang Fan call his name, he just smiled and didn't say anything more.

But Yang Fan's mother, Liu Yuhua, who was serving rice nearby, objected. She forcefully tapped Yang Fan's left hand with her chopsticks and scolded, "You child, your brother just returned safely from the wilderness. What's wrong with waiting for him? Are you going to starve to death?"

"Mom, I'm your son too!" Yang Fan, afraid his mother would hit him again, pulled his left hand back and said aggrievedly, "Why do I feel like my second brother isn't my biological son anymore as soon as he comes back?"

After saying that, Yang Fan quickly hid to the side.

Sure enough, Liu Yuhua, the mother, stopped serving herself rice and went to chase after Yang Fan with her bamboo chopsticks in hand.

"Well, you little brat, how dare you say you're not my biological son? You're asking for a beating!"

"Mom, Xiaofan didn't do it on purpose, let's forgive him this time!"

Although Yang Wu knew that his mother wouldn't really hit Yang Fan, he still took two quick steps and stood in front of his mother, Liu Yuhua.

Since moving into Mingyue Residential Area, the Yang family has been free from financial pressures, and Yang Fan has completely let loose. Aside from never slacking off on his studies and martial arts practice, he's become much more lively and energetic.

Of course, Yang Wu was happy with this arrangement, as it made him feel more at home.

As for the pressure, let him face it alone!

Looking at the tall and strong Yang Wu in front of her, Liu Yuhua, the mother, felt both happy and sad.

Happily, thanks to Yang Wu's efforts, the family now lives in a detached villa, and their lives are many times better than before.

What's heartbreaking is that my son has to keep going out to the wilderness to hunt monsters.

She experienced the Great Nirvana in her childhood, which was extremely dangerous.

Even now, a few days ago when martial artists returned to Mingyue Community, Liu Yuhua saw one of them who was seriously injured and had lost his entire leg.

When Liu Yuhua saw the martial artist who was missing a leg, she genuinely didn't want Yang Wu to go to the wilderness area again, but she also knew that Yang Wu would never agree.

Looking at Yang Fan who had run to the side, and then at Yang Wu, who stood in front of him like an iron tower.

Well, her son must not have eaten well in the wilderness, so Liu Yuhua decided to eat first.

"Since your second brother is pleading for you today, I'll let you off the hook for now. Come and eat!" Liu Yuhua shouted at Yang Fan, then walked back to the table and started serving rice.

"If it weren't for my second brother, I wouldn't have gotten into trouble with you today!"

Yang Fan could only think these words in his heart; he dared not actually say them aloud.

How could Yang Wu let his mother continue doing it? He quickly grabbed the rice scoop and started serving rice to his family.

While serving rice, Yang Wu asked, "Dad, Mom, nothing happened at home while I was in the wilderness, right?"

"Your father and I are eating and sleeping well at home, what could possibly happen?" Liu Yuhua took the porridge Yang Wu served her and handed it to Yang Yuande, continuing, "It's just that your younger brother, Yang Fan, keeps going to the martial arts school building to practice his swordsmanship with people, constantly disturbing them! And..."

Liu Yuhua hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"What else?" Yang Wu ladled out another bowl of rice and handed it to his mother, asking as he pressed for an answer.

Yang Fan's martial arts training is a minor matter. If he really wants to become a martial artist, Yang Wu can ask Wu Tong to help teach him.

Liu Yuhua took the meal and handed it to Yang Fan, who was watching her expectantly. She continued, "And then there's that Boss Wang from your old workplace. He's been coming to our house a lot lately. Every time he comes, he brings a bunch of gifts, leaves them, chats for a bit, and then leaves. I asked him if he needed to see you, but he said no."

"In the two weeks you've been gone, he's already come four times, bringing gifts that are more expensive each time. I had Xiao Fan check online, and the total value is almost five million. A-Wu, he wouldn't be asking you to do something heinous, would he?"

Five million!

Liu Yuhua was just an ordinary supermarket saleswoman before; she had never seen so much money. Even after moving to Mingyue Community and learning that her family was wealthy, she still felt that 500 million was too much. Besides, it was just a gift that the other party had given her casually.

amount……

Yang Wu was somewhat amused and exasperated, and quickly said, "Mom, what are you thinking? It's just a simple gift, why are you bringing up something immoral?"

"Normal gift exchanges? Ah Wu, don't lie to your mother, that's 500 million!"

Liu Yuhua and Yang Yuande both stood up and looked at Yang Wu intently.

They were just ordinary people before, with a maximum savings of only a few hundred thousand. Although their son has now become a martial artist, 500 million is still an extremely large sum for them.

Yang Fan was also stunned. Although he might have more experience than his parents, he was still just a junior high school student with very limited knowledge.

"Dad, Mom!" Yang Wu helped his parents sit down and said, "Now I've become a martial artist, and my strength has reached the level of a battle general. You can't look at things with the same perspective you had before."

"Take my recent monster-hunting trip to the wilderness, for example. The monster materials from the monsters our team hunted alone were worth as much as 5 billion Chinese yuan. I personally received more than 600 million yuan."

To convince his parents, Yang Wu even took out his communication watch and showed them the remaining balance of 100 million yuan.

"After I got back last night, I bought some things, and now I have 100 million left."

"Six hundred million Chinese yuan? One hundred million left?"

Liu Yuhua and Yang Yuande quickly looked at Yang Wu's communication watch.

When they actually saw Yang Wu's balance of 100 million Chinese yuan, the two were stunned once again!

God!

Even the bosses of the places where the two of them used to work probably didn't have that much money.

Such an astronomical figure is just the money his son earned in half a month in the wilderness!

"I must become a martial artist too!" Yang Fan, who was standing to the side, was stunned when he saw Yang Wu's balance of one hundred million, and then shouted excitedly.

This time, however, Yang Yuande and Liu Yuhua did not say anything to him, because they had not yet recovered from the incident.

In fact, the villa where Yang Wu's family lives alone is worth over 100 million Chinese yuan. However, both Liu Yuhua and Yang Yuande know that they only have the right to use the villa, not the right to sell it. Therefore, they weren't that surprised.

But this time, with 100 million Chinese yuan right in front of them, how could they not be surprised?

"Dad, Mom!" Yang Wu called softly.

Hearing Yang Wu's shout, Liu Yuhua and the other woman finally came to their senses.

Yang Wu continued, "So, Dad, Mom, you don't need to worry at all. The gifts Brother Wang sent us are just normal exchanges. I'll just buy him some things and send them to him when I have time!"

That's what they said, but Yang Wu also knew that Wang Zijin wasn't expecting a return gift from him after sending so many gifts. It was clear that Wang Zijin knew he had joined the Phantom Squad, which was why he went to such lengths.

However, Yang Wu was not at all averse to such things.

Wang Zijin had treated Yang Wu quite well before. If he encountered any minor troubles, Yang Wu would not mind helping him out if he could resolve them.

"Alright, I'm starving. Let's eat first!"

Yang Wu stopped thinking about other things, poured himself a bowl of porridge, and sat down to eat.
