Having just returned home from the wilderness, Yang Wu completely relaxed.
So, he didn't cultivate that night; after buying the manual, he washed up and went 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 lighting in the Mingyue residential area was excellent; if it were his old home in the Lanta residential area, the sunlight probably wouldn't even reach the room.
"This is probably the most peaceful sleep I've had in the past two weeks!"
Yang Wu stretched and muttered to himself.
When resting in the wilderness, even knowing that teammates were on guard, probably no one dared to fully relax. After all, the wilderness was fraught with danger, and peril could arise at any moment.
But home was different. First, it was in the base city, offering a much greater guarantee of safety; second, and most importantly, his family was there, making it different from other places.
Yang Wu washed up and went downstairs, finding his parents and younger brother already waiting for him to eat.
"Second Brother, come and eat! You got up so late today, I'm starving!"
Yang Fan called out as soon as he saw Yang Wu appear at the table.
Normally, Yang Wu would get up just as dawn broke, but today he slept until after six.
"It feels so good to be home!"
Yang Wu smiled when Yang Fan called him, saying nothing more.
But his mother, Liu Yuhua, who was serving rice, wouldn't have it. She smacked Yang Fan's left hand with her chopsticks and scolded, "You child, your brother just came back safely from the wilderness. What's wrong with waiting for him? Are you going to starve?"
"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 I'm not your biological son as soon as Second Brother comes back?"
He quickly hid to the side.
Sure enough, his mother, Liu Yuhua, stopped serving rice and was about to chase after Yang Fan with her chopsticks.
"Well, you little brat, how dare you say you're not my biological son? You're asking for it!"
"Mom, Xiao Fan didn't mean it, please forgive him this time!"
Although Yang Wu knew his mother wouldn't really hit Yang Fan, he still quickly took two steps forward, blocking his mother Liu Yuhua's path.
Since moving into Mingyue Residential Area, the Yang family had been free of financial pressure, and Yang Fan had completely let loose. Aside from his studies and martial arts practice, which he never neglected, he had become much more lively.
Of course, Yang Wu was happy with this; it made the family feel more like a home.
As for the pressure, let him face it alone!
Looking at the tall and strong Yang Wu before her, Liu Yuhua felt both happy and sad.
She was happy that, thanks to Yang Wu's efforts, the family now lived in a detached villa, and their life was many times better than before.
She was saddened by her son's constant need to hunt monsters in the wilderness.
She had experienced the Great Nirvana period in her childhood—how dangerous that was!
Even now, a few days ago, when martial artists returned from Mingyue Residential Area, Liu Yuhua saw one of them severely injured, his entire leg gone.
Seeing the warrior with a missing leg, Liu Yuhua genuinely didn't want Yang Wu to go back to the wilderness, but she knew he would never agree.
Looking at Yang Fan who had run to the side, and then at Yang Wu, who stood before her like an iron tower,
she thought, "Hmm, my son must not have eaten well in the wilderness." So Liu Yuhua decided to eat first.
"Since your second brother pleaded for you today, I'll spare you for now. Come and eat!" Liu Yuhua called out to Yang Fan, then returned to the table to serve rice.
"If it weren't for my second brother, I wouldn't have offended you today!"
Yang Fan could only think this to himself; he dared not say it aloud.
How could Yang Wu let his mother continue? He quickly grabbed the rice scoop and began serving rice to his family.
While serving rice, Yang Wu asked, "Dad, Mom, nothing happened at home while I was away in the wilderness, right?"
"Your dad and I ate and slept well at home, what could have happened?" 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, kept 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 served his mother another bowl of rice and pressed her for details.
Yang Fan's martial arts training was a minor matter; if he really wanted to become a martial artist, Yang Wu could easily ask Wu Tong to help him with instruction.
Liu Yuhua took the rice and handed it to Yang Fan, who was watching her expectantly, and continued, "Also, there's that Boss Wang from your previous 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 while, and then leaves. I asked him if he needed to see you, but he said no."
"In the half month you've been gone, he's come four times already, and the gifts he brings are more and more expensive each time. I had Xiao Fan check online, and the total value is almost over five million. Ah Wu, he's not asking you to do anything immoral, is 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 five million was too much. Moreover, it was just a casual gift from the other party.
Uh…
Yang Wu was somewhat amused and quickly said, "Mom, what are you thinking? It's just a simple gift, how did you bring it up as something immoral?"
"Normal gift exchanges? Ah Wu, don't lie to your mother, that's 5 million!"
Liu Yuhua and Yang Yuande both stood up, looking at Yang Wu seriously.
They were just ordinary people before, their family savings at most amounting to a few hundred thousand. Although their son had now become a martial artist, 5 million was still an extremely large number 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 War General level. You can't look at things with the same perspective as before." "
Take my recent monster-hunting trip to the wilderness, for example. The monster materials our team hunted alone were worth a whopping 5 billion Chinese Yuan. I personally received over 600 million."
To convince his parents, Yang Wu took out his communication watch and showed them the remaining 100 million.
"After I came back last night, I bought some things, and now I have 100 million left."
"600 million Chinese Yuan? Only 100 million left?"
Liu Yuhua and Yang Yuande immediately looked at Yang Wu's communication watch.
When they actually saw Yang Wu's 100 million balance, they were stunned again!
Good heavens!
Even their former employers probably didn't have that much money.
And this astronomical figure was just what their son earned in half a month in the wilderness!
"I must become a martial artist too!" Yang Fan, standing to the side, was first stunned upon seeing Yang Wu's 100 million yuan balance, then shouted excitedly.
This time, however, Yang Yuande and Liu Yuhua didn't say anything to him, as they hadn't yet recovered from the shock.
In fact, the villa Yang Wu's family lived in alone cost over 100 million yuan. However, Liu Yuhua and Yang Yuande knew that their family only had the right to use the villa, not the right to sell it. Therefore, they weren't so surprised.
But this time, with 100 million yuan right before their eyes, how could they not be astonished?
"Dad, Mom!" Yang Wu called softly.
Hearing Yang Wu's call, Liu Yuhua and Yang Yuande finally came to their senses.
Yang Wu continued, "So, Dad, Mom, you don't need to worry at all. The gifts Brother Wang gave us are just normal exchanges. I'll buy him some things when I have time!"
He said this, but Yang Wu also knew that Wang Zijin wasn't expecting anything in return for the many gifts he gave. It must be that the other party found out he had joined the Phantom Squad, which is why they went to so much trouble.
However, Yang Wu wasn't bothered by it at all.
Wang Zijin had been quite good to Yang Wu before, and if he encountered any minor troubles, Yang Wu wouldn't mind helping him out if he could.
"Alright, I'm hungry, let's eat first!"
Yang Wu stopped thinking about anything else, served himself a bowl of porridge, and sat down to eat.
