Kai also recalled the black book in the system shop. He then hurriedly opened the system and went to the shop to search for the word 'system' again. As he scrolled down, he saw a book titled 'Build a Virtual Wallet App System' for 1,000 gems. When he looked at the price, the 1,000 gems were replaced by 'free'. It was a reward for exceeding the limit of the BodyBuilding Stage. He purchased it without a second thought, leaving only 1 free knowledge book for him to use later.
Ding! You have purchased the 'Build a Virtual Wallet App System'.
The item will be sent to your inventory.
He went to the inventory and saw the black book with strange codes covering the pages. Without delay, he used it.
The knowledge inside the book flowed into his mind.
'So it was not like the system I got, but an online mobile wallet application,' Kai thought.
Of course, he's not disappointed because he realized that this application can help him create his mobile app. If he could create this kind of app, he could see that it would benefit all the consumers. He could already visualize it in his mind. He just needs to finish all the tasks he needs, and his very first company will raise its banner soon. Of course, he also plans to build his own restaurant.
And to make this a reality, he needs someone who's good in these fields and one of them is now standing in front of him.
"Lin Wentian, right? You're in! Welcome to the crew," Kai said with a huge grin on his face.
He was pumped for the future now that he had a programmer to help him create and maintain the app. All that was left was to find someone with good business skills to run the company while he's studying, and he already had someone in mind.
"Thank you, Senior Brother! As expected of a man who has the aura of a ruler. You are different from those imbecilic creatures who can't see my awesomeness!" Lin Wentian exclaimed, his nose growing longer with each word.
They also felt the Aura Kai emitted at that time, so they think of him as a ruler, as their instincts told them. This belief was also influenced by the effect of the Little Conqueror's aura, which instilled an urge to submit.
"What about me, Senior Brother?" Jun Xie chimed in.
Kai's hair stood on end as he realized Jun Xie was already right beside him. He almost punched him by accident, but thankfully, he remembered that there was another guy with them.
"Damn, Little Brother! You scared the crap out of me! Don't sneak up like that again!" Kai scolded.
He almost turned him into meat paste!
But then a light bulb flickered above Kai's head. "Hold on... I didn't even notice him until he was right next to me?" he thought, staring intently at Jun Xie. To his surprise, Jun Xie's presence was incredibly dim. If he didn't focus, he would think no one was there.
"Doesn't this guy have some assassin skills? If I let my guard down, he could've stabbed me earlier if he wanted," Kai pondered.
Seeing Kai's intense gaze, Jun Moxie blushed and lowered his face in embarrassment for getting scolded.
"Sorry, Senior Brother. I always feel like I'm forgotten if I don't make myself noticeable," Jun Xie apologized.
"Well, you've got a point. I almost forgot about you again," Kai admitted, scratching his head.
"See! That's why I always get picked on. They get freaked out by me, beat me up, and then forget about me. It's so unfair," Jun Xie complained, his tone filled with deep hurt.
"Um... Yeah, sorry. I almost beat you up too," Kai said, feeling genuinely apologetic.
Hearing this, Jun Xie's face fell, feeling a mix of disappointment and dejection. But just as his spirits were sinking, Kai's next words brought a ray of hope that brightened his non-existent presence. "As an apology, I'll accept you too."
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Jun Xie dropped to his knees and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother! They always used to say that I looked like a shadow, blending into the background with my lack of presence. But when I found your dazzling brightness yesterday, something changed within me. I accepted myself as a shadow, realizing that a shadow becomes darker when the light is stronger. And in doing so, it brings out the white of the light, making it shine even brighter. As your shadow, I vow to support you to become the light that rules from above, while being revered by all others!"
Kai was dumbfounded, astonished by the fire and passion in Jun Xie's words. To his surprise, even Lin Wentian and Xia Chen joined in, kneeling down on one knee.
"Senior Brother. No, Boss! We pledge our unwavering loyalty to you!" The three of them shouted in unison.
Outside the room, Uncle Hao observed the scene, his lips curling upwards as he adjusted his glasses with the grace of a mastermind schemer.
"A real gem on a rough road has the power to influence and elevate the ordinary rocks around it, making them shine brighter. It seems that their talents have awakened, simply by being in his presence. It reminds me of two years ago, but compared to that phenomenon, their souls seem to be connected by a profound fate. Just as I expected from the disciple of that person," Uncle Hao mumbled to himself.
In that moment, his mind traveled back to his own youthful days, full of vigor, dreams, and camaraderie with his friends and brothers. A mighty figure had emerged before them, commanding their respect and loyalty as they eagerly followed the towering figure's footsteps.
Together, they had weathered storms, faced hardships, undergone rigorous training, braved battles, mourned fallen comrades, and finally, brought about a time of peace and tranquility for future generations. Uncle Hao couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for the journey they had undertaken, determined to achieve the long-awaited peace they had yearned for.
And now, the person they had followed all this time had finally found a worthy successor, who was building his own crew and would someday stand at the forefront, conquering and ruling the world.
Lost in his memories, Uncle Hao whispered to himself, "I suddenly feel like taking on a disciple."
As if in response to his musings, the door swung open, and Kai's voice filled the air.
"Then why not take Wentian as your disciple?"
