CHAPTER 178: CHAPTER 154 BILLION DOLLAR ASSETS! (THREE IN ONE, 5/5)_3

Right, a day has passed. I wonder if the items I want have been restocked.

Chen Mo put away his membership card and looked toward the receptionist.

"Miss Zhao, many new items were added yesterday. Please, have a look."

Seeing that Chen Mo was ready to spend again, the receptionist immediately and enthusiastically came forward to assist him.

Their auction house wouldn’t charge a commission for receiving items, but they could easily earn one from transactions between customers.

Chen Mo took the tablet and scrolled through it. Although many new items had been added in just one day, he didn’t see what he needed.

It seems that getting Legendary Level materials isn’t easy.

Chen Mo sighed in disappointment. Perhaps Myriad Heaven in their town isn’t high-end enough.

Maybe I should go to the high-level merchant association in the city.

He still hadn’t checked on his grandfather’s condition after the qualifying exam. Chen Mo decided to visit his grandfather and, while he was at it, check out the large merchant guild in Fengze City Center.

Perhaps they’ll have what I’m looking for up for auction. It’s worth a shot.

Before leaving the auction house, Chen Mo exchanged all the money on his membership card for eternal gold coins at the front desk and deposited them into the Heavenly Path System.

Actually, he didn’t need to go through so much trouble.

If he had used his real identity to link to a Heavenly Path System account, he could have transferred the revenue remotely from a thousand miles away.

But Chen Mo didn’t want to link his two identities, so he chose this slightly more troublesome method.

After leaving the auction house, Chen Mo wandered around town as usual. He then found a quiet place to revert to his original appearance before returning home.

Chen Mo planned to see if Sister Yiyi needed him to bring anything.

He called her directly.

"Hello, Mo, have you finished your qualifying exam yet?"

As soon as the call connected, Liu Yiyi’s gentle voice came through.

"Yeah, I finished, and I even got very high bonus points. I’m at home now, preparing to head over to your place. Do you need me to bring you anything?"

"Not really, I’ve bought new clothes here. You can just come by yourself. But the college entrance exam is soon after the qualifying exam, right? You won’t be delayed, will you?"

"No, don’t you remember I can fly? Flying is very fast."

"Okay then."

After hanging up, Chen Mo flew directly out of his bedroom window and headed towards Yinchuan County in Fengze City.

Flying at full speed, he quickly arrived at the hospital.

It had been over ten days, and relatives had been visiting his grandfather for the past couple of days. As Chen Mo reached the corridor, he saw a few familiar faces.

These few were from his second granduncle’s branch of the family.

Chen Mo’s grandfather, Liu Yuanzong, had three brothers, making him the third of four.

Although the family was large, their luck didn’t seem very good. Among the four brothers, surprisingly, only the youngest had awakened a combat profession; the other three all had lifestyle professions.

And the next generation hadn’t improved much either.

Liu Yiyi had a lifestyle profession. So did the sons of the eldest brother, Liu Yuankui, and the second brother, Liu Yuansheng. Even the daughter of the youngest brother, Liu Yuanxi, had a lifestyle profession.

It was quite a grim situation.

However, the generation after that seemed to experience a sudden turn of fortune.

Liu Yiyi had remained single and adopted Chen Mo, who had a combat profession.

And Liu Yuankui’s grandson, Liu Yuansheng’s granddaughter, and Liu Yuanxi’s grandson now all possess combat professions.

Moreover, their combat professions weren’t bad: two three-stars and one two-star.

Including Chen Mo, that made two two-stars and two three-stars.

Only then did this family begin to harbor some hope.

Otherwise, just like before, the entire family would have had no one to rely on for income.

Aside from Liu Yuanxi, who could earn a decent income to support his grandson’s development, the other two branches of the family were like Liu Yuanzong’s: the money they had was barely enough to support themselves, let alone nurture the next generation.

Just then, Chen Mo encountered Liu Yunfei—the son of his second granduncle, Liu Yuansheng—and Liu Yunfei’s own son, Liu Yiming. They were a father-son pair.

"Mo, what are you doing here? Weren’t you supposed to be taking the qualifying exam?"

Liu Yunfei greeted Chen Mo enthusiastically upon seeing him.

His own son isn’t very capable; he didn’t even get a spot for the qualifying exam. This adopted kid, on the other hand, is promising.

"Hello, Uncle. I’ve finished the exam and came to visit Grandpa." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Although Liu Yunfei was the son of Chen Mo’s second granduncle, he was the eldest among his cousins in that generation. Liu Yuanxi’s daughter was the second eldest, Liu Yuankui’s son was third, and Liu Yiyi was the youngest.

"Really? Quick, tell your uncle, how did your exam go?" Liu Yunfei said, smiling, as he put his arm around Chen Mo’s shoulder, walking with him toward the hospital room.

"Not bad. I got 500 bonus points."

Chen Mo spoke casually, but both Liu Yunfei and Liu Yiming were stunned.

"Five hundred?!" Liu Yiming exclaimed in disbelief. "That has to be the maximum bonus points, right?"

Liu Yunfei also asked in awe, "You can only get five hundred bonus points if you rank near the top in a five-star difficulty survival instance, right? How long did you survive?"

"30 days."

"What?!"

This time, Liu Yunfei and Liu Yiming were completely petrified.

Thirty days? They wondered if there was something wrong with their ears.

Their exclamations startled the people in the hospital room, and someone immediately opened the door and came out.
