It was a little after 4 p.m.

System upgrade complete.

Gao Yan made four choices, which resulted in eight more top-tier draws and 120 free attribute points.

There were still 3 top-tier draws left.

Therefore, Gao Yan merged the ten top-level draws into two super draws, bringing the total number of super draws to nine.

Suddenly, Gao Yan had an idea and asked, "System, can the Super Lottery be merged?"

System: The Super Lottery can only be merged after the system reaches level 50.

The system is currently at level 44, and level 50 is not far away.

Gao Yan decided that if he could gather 300 billion experience points, he could directly level up to level 50.

There is a difference of 54 points in physical and mental condition.

Therefore, Gao Yan added 120 free attribute points to his spirit, causing his spirit power to break through 400 and reach 424 points.

After breaking through 400 points in spirit, it becomes increasingly refined, easily able to lift objects weighing over a thousand kilograms, and naturally, its perception and range of perception also increase significantly.

That evening, Zhuo Jinsen appeared exceptionally excited.

Jiang Tianqin seemed to sense something and asked, "Has everything been settled?"

Zhuo Jinsen nodded emphatically: "Yes, it's settled. After the New Year, I will be transferred to Pingyang City next door to serve as the deputy mayor."

"Uncle, congratulations! I'd like to offer you a toast."

Gao Yan quickly raised his glass and said.

"Hey, there's nothing to congratulate me on, I just...!"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Tianqin interrupted him, saying, "Don't speak in official jargon at home."

"Haha, my bad, thank you Xiao Gao, let's have a drink!" Zhuo Jinsen slapped his forehead, then remembered that everyone present was a friend, and raised his glass with a smile.

"Uncle, what will your main job be in Pingyang City?"

Gao Yan asked.

A city may have many deputy mayors, each with different responsibilities.

Zhuo Jinsen said, "Pingyang City's economy has never been able to develop. The organization saw that I did a good job in the textile factory matter, so they transferred me to Pingyang City to be mainly responsible for investment promotion and tourism!"

Gao Yan said, "Uncle, do you need my help? I have some spare money, but I haven't decided what project to do with it yet. If you go to Pingyang to take up a post, I can send someone there to investigate and see if there are any projects that can be done!"

He has earned hundreds of billions just from selling spirit stones, and in addition, the system's reserve funds have reached more than 8 trillion.

Since it's an investment anyway, might as well support my father-in-law!

"this?"

Zhuo Jinsen hesitated, not because he was worried that Gao Yan had ulterior motives, but simply because he felt embarrassed, since Gao Yan had helped him resolve the textile factory issue last time!

"Uncle, please think about it!"

Gao Yan smiled and did not press Zhuo Jinsen.

Jiang Tianqin retorted irritably, "What are you hesitating about? Don't you know what kind of place Pingyang is? Xiao Gao is rich; he can invest anywhere else than in Pingyang."

"Tianqin, you've misunderstood."

Zhuo Jinsen quickly explained, "I've been researching Pingyang City recently, and it really doesn't have any special features. I'm just worried about losing money on my investment!"

"It's okay, Uncle. No investment can guarantee a 100% profit. Even if you lose money, I won't blame you!"

Gao Yan added with a smile.

"Alright, Xiao Gao, thank you for your support!"

"We're family, we don't need to exchange more than a few words, Uncle, I still want to toast you!"

"Yes, we're all one family!"

Although Zhuo Jinsen was in a good mood tonight, he wasn't drunk, just slightly tipsy.

And after the meal.

Gao Yan secretly instructed Hong Huang to investigate the situation in Pingyang City and see if there were any suitable investment projects.

Chaoyang Sect.

After agonizing over it for several hours.

Tu Changyang arrived at the residence of Elder Shen Changsheng.

"Fourth Junior Brother, what brings you here? Is something the matter?"

Shen Changsheng asked in a kind tone.

"Senior Brother, I was wrong!"

Tu Changyang knelt down with a thud, looking guilty.

Seeing this, Shen Changsheng frowned slightly: "Get up first and tell me what happened!"

After a slight hesitation, Tu Changyang stood up and told Vice Sect Master Dugu Ming about Gao Yan's possible possession of a spirit stone mine, as well as Dugu Ming's story of going out to seize the spirit stone mine!

"You!"

After hearing this, Shen Changsheng's face suddenly darkened: "How could you be so foolish!"

Tu Changyang began to complain: "Senior Brother, as you know, I lack talent. Only by having more spirit stones can I break through to the peak of the Grandmaster. That's why I had my eye on the spirit stone mine. Now that the Vice Sect Master has not returned for a long time, I strongly suspect that something has happened to him!"

Dugu Ming was encouraged to go out, and if something happens, Tu Changyang will definitely be held accountable by the sect leader.

Shen Changsheng's brows furrowed even deeper: "Logically speaking, with the Vice Sect Master's Celestial Realm cultivation, it's impossible for him to be in trouble. But Qingzhu has once again completed a deal with Gao Yan, which means that he failed to seize the spirit stone mine from Gao Yan!"

"Yes, that's my analysis too. So what should we do?"

Tu Changyang asked, having already placed his hopes on Shen Changsheng.

"In that case, I'll send someone to contact the affiliated families first. After all, the deputy sect leader hasn't left the cave for many years, and if he wants to find Gao Yan, he'll have to rely on the power of the affiliated family heads!"

"But what if something happens to the Deputy Sect Master?"

Tu Changyang asked nervously.

"Hmph, just wait and see what punishment you get!"

Shen Changsheng said irritably.

"Senior Brother, you must save me! I was bewitched!" Tu Changyang knelt down once again, causing the sect's celestial being to perish. This punishment would definitely not be light!
