On the second day, Lin Zhen did not return to the martial arts hall. Instead, he first ordered a bottle of Chi-assist medicine online.

Entering the warrior phase is a crucial step, and Lin Zhen had long understood what kind of Chi-assist medicine he needed.

The price of a bottle of Chi-assist medicine is 100 million, and Lin Zhen chose private customization, which added another 100 million, so the remaining 900 million instantly became 700 million. Lin Zhen could describe his spending like water.

After communicating with the technology department and paying the deposit, Lin Zhen bought some virtual chip helmets, preparing to start selling things.

Merely spending money without earning it was no good. What he wanted to sell was the first layer of the Nine Layers Spear River.

Nine Layers Spear River was an ancient scripture. Ordinary people did not know its origin, but Lin Zhen did.

After the arrival of the meteor shower in the Leo constellation, the Earth’s environment changed dramatically, creating some dangerous places.

The environment in these places was harsh, the mutated beasts were fierce, and some even formed their own spaces. However, there were also great opportunities there, and once one entered and came out, they usually gained a lot.

These places were called Ancient God’s Relics, and the secrets of the Nine Layers Spear River came from those places.

The second and third layers had already been created, but because of the lack of the first layer, the price has always been low. However, there were many people in the world who studied spear techniques, and it could be imagined that once the first layer appeared, it would surely trigger a sales frenzy.

Lin Zhen was now beginning to try to cultivate the third layer, named Waterfall. Once the third layer was fully developed, he could compete with ordinary War God powerhouses. However, Lin Zhen did not have the secrets of the fourth laver

He knew that the secrets of the first and fourth layers were in the hands of a person in Ice City. Before long, that person would put the secrets of the first layer online and make a fortune.

What Lin Zhen had to do was to release the first layer before that person, not only to make some money but also to spread the word that he would release the fourth layer in the future. This would surely prompt that person to put the fourth layer on the market ahead of time, and Lin Zhen would be able to obtain the secrets.

After purchasing a hundred sets of helmet chips, costing about 50 million, Lin Zhen spent the next few days working on this project.

Most of the time he was inputting the contents of the secrets, occasionally taking a break to walk downstairs in his community, or dining and chatting with his parents. Life was leisurely and fulfilling.

On the internet, however, the matter of the Russian challengers was still ongoing. One martial arts hall after another was defeated, and their reputation was plummeting.

On the contrary, Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall leveraged the situation to gain fame, and although many people despised their behavior, many still joined Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall, making it stand on top of the other three major martial arts halls.

Lin Zhen didn’t pay much attention to the online events and focused on his helmet chips.

By the fifth day, Lin Zhen had finally finished his work. The content of the secrets had been input into a hundred helmet chips, ready to be sold online.

Lin Zhen spent another 10 million to register an online store called Neighbor’s Shop, which only offered one product: a set of helmet chips.

“Nine Layers Spear River, First Layer: Gale!”

With such a simple title, Lin Zhen believed it was enough to attract people. He planned to trade on the time difference and make as much money as possible before the person released the first layer.

Lin Zhen set the price for the first layer at 10 million, prepared photos and videos, then connected with the network supervision department, and his shop was ready.

Having done all this, Lin Zhen stretched his body; after several days of work, the project was finally completed. Although he couldn’t make too much money from it, it would provide him with some startup funds.

As he was just about to stand up and stretch, his phone rang again.

“Hello, Brother Zhao.”

Lin Zhen answered the phone, and on the other end was Zhao Liang’s voice, “Lin Zhen, have you seen the video online?”

“What happened?”

“The Russian trio from the Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall made a move again. This time, they challenged Dragon-slaying Academy. Lei Ming was injured by

Nelov, and Dragon-slaying Academy was defeated.”

“Oh! Dragon Slayer failed?” Lin Zhen rubbed his chin.

“Yeah, and Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall even announced that they would challenge us, Gale, in three days. Now, in the entire Ice City Base City, only we,

Gale, and Changfeng have not been challenged yet.”

Lin Zhen thought for a moment: “According to our reputation, Gale is the top martial arts hall. Why didn’t they go challenge Changfeng first?”

“They originally planned to challenge Changfeng. However, Chen Jingchou,

Changfeng Martial Arts Hall’s warrior-level ace, hasn’t returned from the Wilderness Area, so Changfeng chooses not to fight. They said they won’t accept any challenge until Chen Jingchou comes back. So it’s our turn, Gale.”

“Challenge or not, what’s the big deal? Is Gale afraid of challenges? Isn’t the destiny of a martial artist to fight?” Lin Zhen said indifferently.

“Hey, Lin, the great master, why don’t you see the seriousness of the situation? Now that Changfeng has backed down, Ice City only has us, Gale, left to support it. We cannot afford to lose! Not only is our master personally presiding over the hall, but the mayor of the base city has also come.”

“The mayor? Lu Ming?”

“Yes, the very Lu Ming, one of the four kings of Base City. He’s not only the mayor, but he’s also a level eight War God and a good friend of our master. He personally announced that whoever can defeat the Russian trio from Blue Sky will be rewarded by Base City.”

“What are the rewards?”

“A cash prize of one billion, and the title of Honorary Citizen of Ice City, granting access to all public facilities for free.”

Lin Zhen remained silent. These rewards were not light, offering not only huge prizes but also honor, which was quite attractive to martial artists.

After all, practicing martial arts is all about making money and gaining respect from others, right?

However, this was not what Lin Zhen needed. Although one billion was not a small amount, Lin Zhen believed that even one of his ideas could earn this much or even more. For example, with the Nine Layers Spear River, he was confident he could sell 200 helmets.

Besides, he was a Spiritual Mind Master, well-received in the Wilderness Area, making small amounts of money would not be a problem.

What he needed was the buying and selling rights for meteorites. He wanted to do business with the Tech Department, as that was the true path to making money and quickly increasing his strength.

It seemed that Lu Ming hadn’t realized the gravity of the situation. Neither Fu Chengya nor Shen Yuhua were a match for Ivan, and they were even inferior to Nelov and Eva.

Only Chen Jingchou was the true first genius of Ice City. He had narrowly defeated Ivan in his past life, achieving a glorious future.

How could he make the best move and ensure that his interests were maximized? Lin Zhen pondered in silence.

On the other side of the phone, Zhao Liang kept talking: “Lin Zhen, you better come quickly. The master said that if you can defeat one of the Russians, you can choose any item from the martial arts store. If you defeat all three, you get three items. Fu Chengya and Shen Yuhua are almost fighting over who will go first. Meng Dong is eager to try too. If you don’t come, I’m afraid you won’t even get a sip of soup.”

“Brother Zhao, you didn’t tell anyone about me being a spiritual mind master, did you?” Lin Zhen asked.

“Of course not! Brother Zhao is not someone who can’t keep his mouth shut.

We didn’t mention anything about your performance in Yi Lan, including how we got separated. We only said that you were alive but separated from us in Yi Lan. If we had told them, the master would have gone and brought you out of

Yi Lan himself.”

“That’s good. Brother Zhao, I won’t go to the martial arts hall for now. Isn’t the challenge three days away? I’ll definitely rush over by then.”

Zhao Liang was silent for a moment: “Alright, brother. We’ll do it your way. I know you always have a plan. Brother Zhao believes in you!”

“Hehe! Don’t worry, Brother Zhao. I, Lin Zhen, am not the kind of coward who will let foreigners rampage on our land. It’s just that I still need some practice in these few days to ensure that I can defeat those foreigners. If someone asks about my situation, just tell them I went out to train again and will be back in a few days.”

“Okay! Then, big brother, I’ll be waiting for your news. Brother, fight hard. We really can’t afford to lose!”

After hanging up the call with Zhao Liang, Lin Zhen logged into the martial artists’ forum again.

He was searching for a piece of news, news about Changfeng’s Chen Jingchou.

To ensure his interests were maximized, he first had to solve one problem: preventing Chen Jingchou from taking action in this battle!
