Chapter 25 - Compensation
Zhang Yitian's words stunned everyone. Five minutes? Even if this Sun Erlong was rich, he wouldn't be able to get fifty thousand dollars in five minutes. If he couldn't get it, he would double the amount.
Lin Muru frowned, but she did not say a word, and slowly hid in the crowd. She knew that the situation was completely under Zhang Yitian's control, and even if he wanted to extort some money, it was only natural, not to mention someone like Sun Erlong, he should be teaching him a lesson.
Right now, the one suffering the most was definitely Sun Erlong. He had over ten thousand, but where did he get the fifty thousand? Even if he were to borrow money from his uncle, five minutes wouldn't be enough.
Five minutes passed quickly, but Sun Erlong was holding onto the twenty thousand yuan that he had gathered with great effort.
”Sun, you decide!” Zhang Yitian took the twenty thousand gold, ”As for the rest, let's make a promissory note!”
Sun Erlong had no choice, he could only submit now, the pain on his body was still telling him that Zhang Yitian was not someone to be trifled with.
Sun Erlong very quickly wrote an IOU of 80,000, this time without Zhang Yitian's nagging, he himself had taken the initiative to double the sudden debt.
”Scram!” Don't let me see you again in Shanghe Village! ” Zhang Yitian accepted the money and prepared to leave.
Looking at Zhang Yitian's back figure, Sun Erlong gnashed his teeth. He had never suffered such humiliation before.
Sun Erlong sneered in his heart: Little bastard, just you wait, I swear I'll make you kneel in front of me before long!
The group left, and the surrounding villagers left as well. However, Zhang Yitian however, the village was really on fire, not only did he rely on a bag of powder to revive the garden, it shocked everyone, even the matter of him going against Sun Erlong's group of ten or so disciples was getting more and more outrageous.
However, Zhang Yitian was not in the mood to care about it. He understood in his heart that if he provoked this hooligan, Sun Erlong, he would definitely be in endless trouble in the future.
After returning home, Zhang Yitian acted like he was completely exhausted. He handed over the twenty thousand to his mother and fell asleep on his bed.
Li Xiaoling had never seen this much money before, she looked at his son in shock. But just as she was about to ask, Zhang Yitian had already started snoring.
Very quickly, Zhang Yitian entered his subconscious state once again within his dreams. The majestic ”Divine Nong Holy Grimoire” slowly opened before his eyes.
Zhang Yitian was completely convinced now, and he immediately kneeled down and kowtowed, ”Master, this disciple doesn't know what's good for herself, please punish me …”
Shennong's figure floated out again. His tone was dignified and cold. ”Stinky brat. Now you want to take me as your master? I haven't even thought about taking you in yet!”
Zhang Yitian was a little embarrassed from what he said. He scratched his head and laughed foolishly: ”In the beginning, I did indeed act a little disrespectfully and offended my master, but now, I know how noble my master is …”
Zhang Yitian said a bunch of flattering words. Actually, he had some impure intentions, and thought that this old man better not get angry and chase him out.
Moreover, he had finally found an opportunity to change his fate, and he wouldn't easily give it up.
He had offended Sun Erlong, Zhang Wenzhong, and these people were all not kind people, they would definitely take revenge on him, and the road in the future would become more and more difficult.
Zhang Yitian made up his mind. He must acknowledge someone as his master. Even if he couldn't become a deity, being a competent mortal wouldn't be bad.
”Alright, alright...” Shennong was a bit impatient. He reckoned that no one had talked to him like this for thousands of years. ”In order to punish you for being so disrespectful towards me, I won't accept you as my disciple now.”
One sentence completely made Zhang Yitian panic. He thought to himself, if you don't take me in as your disciple, won't I be hacked to death by those people?
Shennong continued. ”But that is unless you are able to accomplish the mission I've given you!”
There's a door! Zhang Yitian was overjoyed in his heart. Forget about a mission, even if Shen Nong said a few more words, he would still agree to it easily.
”Master, tell me, what task is it!”
”I am Shen Nong, the Supreme God of Shennong. You wish to be my disciple? Clearly, your current status is not enough.”
”Then Master, what do you mean?” Zhang Yitian asked in confusion.
”Since you're a farmer, you should do well...” Shen Nong's figure gradually floated back into the < Divine Nong Holy Grimoire >. Then, a powerful force pushed Zhang Yitian out of the space of consciousness.
Zhang Yitian seemed to have a nightmare as he suddenly sat up from the bed.
Since you're a farmer, you should do well? What did that mean? Could it be that Shennong's mission for him was to be an outstanding farmer?
This confused Zhang Yitian, but after pondering for a long time, he finally understood what was going on.
Since Shennong was Shennong's Sovereign, then as his disciple, his current state was somewhat inconsistent with Shennong's.
Zhang Yitian smiled inwardly, thinking that with the Hyperplasia and the great cure, it would not be far for him to become one of the best farmers.
Just as Zhang Yitian was deep in thought, Li Xiaoling pushed his wheelchair in. Seeing that his son was finally awake, she felt at ease.
”Son, how did you get the money...” Li Xiaoling hurriedly asked.
Zhang Yitian laughed, and then told his mother the whole story.
Hearing that his son had offended the tyrant Sun Erlong, Li Xiaoling couldn't help but be worried.
Seeing her worry, Zhang Yitian comforted her with confidence, ”Mom, don't worry. I promise, from today onwards, no one will bully us like they used to. Our lives will get better and better.”
