Qin Xiao drank a glass of juice, somewhat speechless. He had already eaten and drunk his fill and didn't feel like drinking any more alcohol.

After Chen Ning finished speaking, he thought of Qin Xiao and walked over, holding a glass of wine.

"Qin Xiao, I'd like to propose a toast to you."

His attitude was very respectful.

Qin Xiao found it odd and took a sip of juice. "Chen Ning, I remember you didn't attend the Beast Taming Academy?"

Chen Ning's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Qin Xiao, please stop laughing at me. My talent is really just average, there's nothing I can do about it."

Qin Xiao grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds. "So what are you doing now? Did you attend a regular university?"

Chen Ning shook his head and pulled over a single chair to sit down.

"I stopped studying after graduation. After all, I don't have the talent to be a beast tamer, so I might as well save my effort and avoid wasting time."

After I graduated, I started learning how to manage my dad's business with him. Now I'm trying to take on some of the tasks myself, and it's going quite well.

At this point, he glanced at Qin Xiao and gave a somewhat bitter smile.

"Our genius probably can't understand this. In fact, most of the students here have stopped studying. They've all entered the workforce, either to earn money to support their families or to do what they like."

Qin Xiao was a little surprised for a moment, but then he realized what was going on.

Yes, when Beast Tamers were initially selecting talents, many people didn't have any, or only had basic gray-white talents.

There's absolutely no need for further study with this kind of talent, and besides, my family doesn't have the means.

For most people, attending a regular university is not really necessary.

Because the world doesn't really value this aspect, and resources are quite abundant.

Most people are actually doing quite well, so they don't have the idea of ​​getting a diploma as a stepping stone.

In reality, with so many worlds supporting a single city, it's hard to say about high-end resources, but these basic, low-level needs are simply overflowing.

The Gyeongju municipal government could directly give money to everyone.

It's simply for the sake of social stability and maintaining vitality.

Qin Xiao looked at the people around him and realized that most of them no longer showed much naivety.

Emotions have been polluted by the great dye vat of society.

Turning back, she looked at Chen Ning, who seemed hesitant to speak, and said, "Just say what you want to say. Why all this fuss? You're not just planning a class reunion today, are you?"

Qin Xiao spoke with a half-smile, and Chen Ning's face stiffened, giving him a wry smile.

Anyone but an idiot could see through my thoughts.

"Hehe, Qin Xiao, you're successful now. I know we didn't have much of a relationship before, but we were classmates after all, so I won't beat around the bush."

Do you have any money? You can lend it to us for investment, and I can even pay you interest rates that are at least as high as, if not higher than, those of banks!

Upon hearing this, not only Qin Xiao was stunned, but Ye Qinghuan and Zhou Lei were also somewhat taken aback.

Ye Qinghuan and Qin Xiao had similar thoughts, but Zhou Lei was somewhat surprised...

Invest money...

Qin Xiao looked puzzled; the words felt strangely familiar yet distant...

Is he rich?

He has so much money he's practically overflowing...

This is even after he had almost no energy left to make money.

The resources he's eyeing can't be measured in money anymore.

Not to mention the secret realms and demigod-level resources that are frequently mentioned.

The gap and class differences are simply too, too, too huge.

He had previously thought that the other party actually had something to offer him, and he was willing to give his classmate face.

But this thing...

For a moment, he felt listless and somewhat bored.

We're not from the same world anymore.

However, Qin Xiao wasn't the kind of person with an eccentric personality, so he responded.

How much do you want?

Chen Ning pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Twenty...twenty million, I guess. With that twenty million, I'm confident I can win the government's city defense renovation project and reap several times the return!"

Qin Xiao felt a pang of jealousy. "How about this, I'll give you 50 million, and all future profits will be donated to the government's orphanages!"

Chen Ning was somewhat taken aback, then his eyes widened, and he even seemed a little flustered.

Fifty million!

Even if he sold his construction company, he wouldn't have earned this much!

"Brother Qin... Xiao, let me toast you. Thank you for your support. Don't worry, I will work hard. I will have someone specifically responsible for using your earnings for the elderly home."

Qin Xiao nodded. "Yes, just make sure you grasp this point."

Qin Xiao didn't bother with this amount of money.

He believed that unless the other party was a complete idiot, they wouldn't dare to outwardly comply with his demands while inwardly disagreeing.

After taking a sip of wine, Qin Xiao transferred the money to the other party and then stood up.

"Excuse me, I have to go now."

After saying this, Qin Xiao and his companions hurriedly left the entertainment center without waiting for them to stay.

Once outside on the street, Qin Xiao fell silent for a moment.

Liu Feixue watched with great interest. She hadn't gotten close to Qin Xiao earlier, but she had still overheard the conversation.

"Hehe, boss, did you suddenly realize that the world is like a tide, people are like water, and life is as lonely as snow?"

Qin Xiao rolled his eyes. "What nonsense."

After speaking, he said with some melancholy, "I just suddenly realized that I seem to be moving too fast, and I'm almost out of touch with the world. I have a strange sense of emptiness."

Looking at his expression, Ye Qinghuan silently took his hand.

"You still have us with you. Besides, a new place has new scenery, so there's no need to feel regret."

Ye Qinghuan comforted her gently.

Actually, she herself was also somewhat shocked.

As a woman who had never worried about money since childhood, she suddenly realized this.

It turns out that we all live under the same sky, but we have never actually been from the same world.

She still had 100 million yuan transferred to her by Qin Xiao in her bracelet. Yesterday, she bought two sets of underwear with some protective features, spending several million yuan...

This consumerism and value system is suddenly collapsing.

No wonder the world has strangely isolated some economic interactions and communications.

More valuable items cannot even be traded with Huawu coins.

"Forget it, let's go home. It's no fun. Feixue, come pick me up tomorrow. You know where I live. I'm leaving now, Leizi."

After saying this, Qin Xiao led Ye Qinghuan into the crowd and gradually disappeared into the distance.

Liu Feixue also took Liu Piaoxu's hand, "We're leaving too. If you're going tomorrow, meet up with Qin Xiao."

Zhou Lei and Qin Xiao had a good relationship, and Liu Feixue did not look down on him. Besides, he was a Gold Beast Tamer, not a nobody.

Zhou Lei pursed his lips, watching the people leaving on both sides, somewhat speechless.

"What's going on? All the shows I've been looking forward to today have started, ugh..."

He muttered a couple of things and that was it; he then started walking home.

The atmosphere at the class reunion on the fourth floor of the entertainment center behind us was somewhat strange.

Then, with a series of praises and flattery directed at Chen Ning, the atmosphere became lively again.

It was even more harmonious and enthusiastic.

After all, sometimes even if no one says it, everyone already knows.

No matter how close or ingratiating you are with some people, you're never from the same world.

This sense of alienation is there naturally.
