Chapter 1846 — Striking Again

The speed at which they earned money made even Uncle Qing click his tongue. Had he not known Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu so well, he would have thought they had taken up some disreputable trade. After all, two young women, while covering Wei Zhao's medical expenses, could still put aside five thousand to ten thousand yuan a day — what kind of work could possibly pay that?
It would be one thing if they were white-collar workers at a big company, but they had neither social experience nor a university degree. What company would pay them such a salary?
But since Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu said nothing, Uncle Qing did not ask, for he knew that Yaoyao and Xiaoshu were not the sort to be frivolous or loose.
"Today's earnings are about enough — nearly twenty thousand yuan!" Gu Mengyao was grinning from ear to ear. In the past, earning twenty thousand yuan might not have stirred even a flicker of emotion in her; after all, the Gu Group raked in gold by the day, and twenty thousand yuan was nothing at all.
But now she exulted over those twenty thousand yuan, because it was the money that would save Wei Zhao's life and her father's.
"Mm, I'm so happy! Heavenly Thunder Pig, you're amazing. From now on I'll have Brother Arrow upgrade you first, so you level up before Mighty General!" Promises cost nothing, so Shen Yushu was hardly stingy about making them to the Heavenly Thunder Pig.
Even so, that alone was enough to delight the Heavenly Thunder Pig. Mighty General, by contrast, was rather glum: clearly I am the senior brother and you are the junior brother, yet now the senior brother levels up more slowly than the junior brother!
"Chirp chirp!" The Heavenly Thunder Pig cast a smug glance at Mighty General and wiggled its little body in front of him as if showing off.
Next, after Wei Zhao concentrated the fire poison from his heart meridian and his head into his right palm, he was astonished to find that his long-lost connection with the outside world had actually returned. Though he still could not wake, he could clearly sense the scene beyond his body!
Wei Zhao was not surprised by this. He had previously relied on the perception of his heart meridian and his head to connect with the outside world; with the fire poison removed from those two places, the connection was naturally restored.
It was an unfamiliar room, shabbily furnished — one might even say entirely unfurnished. He himself lay on a very old iron folding bed, and beside it stood a somewhat worn table on which a few clothes and women's belongings were casually piled. At a glance Wei Zhao could tell that they belonged to Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu!
Beside the folding bed was a floor bed — that is, bedding and a quilt spread on the ground so a person could sleep there.
Presumably this was where Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu slept. Wei Zhao did not understand why he was sleeping in such a shabby place. Though it had been swept very clean — spotless, one might say — it was truly too run-down, not even the equal of Xixing Mountain Village.
Wei Zhao could hardly find anything like it in his memory.
Before long, just as Wei Zhao was puzzling over this, footsteps came from outside the room, along with the cheerful voices of Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.
