People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon

Chapter 981: Chapter 122 Hu Niu’s Change of Heart

The matter of studying talismans was settled, with lessons taking place at Liu Wenxuan’s house every evening.

Zhao Yu suddenly found himself with nothing to do during the day.

“I need to find a way to continuously gather energy…”

Zhao Yu was somewhat troubled, as most people in Shushan were eager to cultivate and had no time for idle chatter. The ones he could approach for such needs were only from big families like Mo Cai’er’s.

After a few days of inquiring, Zhao Yu learned of a way to gather a substantial amount of energy.

It was through the frequent gatherings held by the children of various families, with various pretexts for these gatherings. The purpose wasn’t very clear, but anyone was allowed to attend, and all kinds of drinks and food were provided.

Therefore, Zhao Yu went to a few and found the effect to be quite good.

These gatherings were generally divided into two areas, an inner field and an outer field.

The inner field was for those with invitations, respected by the host, or rather a gathering of peers.

The outer field, on the other hand, was for show. Most of the time, it was not fully seated, and people were even paid to go there at times, all to boost the host’s prestige and liven up the place.

…

“Are you sure you can help me win over Tiger Girl?”

A man over two meters tall, brawny and broad, looked at Zhao Linger with a hint of hope in his eyes.

“I already have a plan…”

With the confidence of holding a winning hand, Zhao Linger began, “Tiger Girl hasn’t seen much of the world, and she currently has a childhood sweetheart named Simpleton…”

“Until she gives up on Simpleton, it’ll be hard for you to win her heart…”

“But, I’ve recently learned that Simpleton often attends gatherings, freeloads in the outer field…”

A smile crept over Zhao Linger’s lips as she continued, “My idea is to first take Tiger Girl to a few gatherings. We’ll stay in the inner field and let her see Simpleton in the outer field…”

“The purpose of this is to make her see reality, to understand the benefits of being with you…”

“After a few gatherings, once she understands the class distinction, you can then invite her to join a gathering, make it special, and have her as the guest of honor, turning all the past main characters of the gatherings into her supporting cast…”

“After several times, her heart will inevitably change, and she will understand the advantages of being with you. By then, Simpleton will really become a fool…”

Upon hearing this, King Kong hesitated slightly, “Isn’t this inappropriate? I don’t really want to scheme against Tiger Girl…”

“Senior brother, you can’t be soft-hearted in matters like this, unless you don’t want Tiger Girl!” Zhao Linger urged upon hearing his concerns.

After hesitating for a moment, King Kong eventually agreed, preferring to obtain Tiger Girl over scheming against her.

“Senior brother, leave this matter to me…” Zhao Linger patted her chest, reluctantly leaving.

It wasn’t until she walked out of the high-end district where King Kong resided that she reined in her emotions and sighed deeply.

Her meeting with King Kong today was initiated by her, ostensibly to help him pursue Tiger Girl.

In truth, for this meeting, Zhao Linger had spent hours dressing up meticulously and even sprayed perfume, even donning the sexy Daoist robe she had been unwilling to wear before.

But King Kong was oblivious to such attire, focused solely on Tiger Girl.

This left her slightly disappointed.

“Really, even someone like Tiger Girl has admirers…”

Zhao Linger felt somewhat dejected, wishing so much that it was her King Kong fancied, which would make her future much easier.

In the eyes of the Zhao family’s servants, she, Zhao Linger, was the high and mighty second young mistress.

But she was well aware that in Shushan, the Zhao family was nothing, just one of countless small clans.

And although she was the second young mistress, in reality, she had little access to resources.

Ostensibly, their Zhao family had a Golden Core ancestor, but that ancestor had been cultivating for a long time and was from over three hundred years ago, barely maintaining a connection with the Zhao family.

Were it not for the shared bloodline, that ancestor would probably not even want to bear the Zhao name.

Compared to families that placed great importance on bloodlines, their Zhao family was no more than borrowing the tiger’s fierceness – the family’s affairs were known to themselves.

“It’s a pity that my grandfather has too many descendants, leaving hardly any resources for me…”

Zhao Linger sighed again, her father lacking talent; he had left Shushan stagnating at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.

Although she was the second young mistress back home, in Shushan, she was inferior to those whose parents stayed in Shushan.

Add to that her grandfather’s numerous descendants, the resources allocated to her were even less, only slightly better than those children of humble backgrounds without any connections.

“However, this thing with Tiger Girl might be an opportunity. If she prospers, and I follow her, I might be able to reach Foundation Establishment… or even…”

…

On this day, Zhao Yu came to another gathering, hosted by a family scion who had advanced to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.

This gathering was of a higher tier compared to those Zhao Yu had previously attended, likewise separated into inside and outside areas.

But the inside area actually used array formations for separation, meaning those inside could see and speak to the outer area, but those in the outer area couldn’t see what was going on inside.

However, Zhao Yu didn’t care about any of this.

He wasn’t there to network but simply to gather energy, and incidentally enjoy a good meal.

After all, being a gathering, the food and drinks were certainly better than the free meals provided at the cafeteria.
