Chapter 230: The Parent Company
The golden light in my eyes snapped out. My conscious mind slammed back into my physical skin with the force of a head-on collision."Ming!" Su Qinghe gasped. She caught my shoulders as I stumbled against the kitchen counter. Her silver eyes were frantic, checking my face, my chest, my hands. "You're back. Your body went completely stiff for three minutes. What happened on the moon?""The lunar station is gone, Qinghe," I said. My throat was dry. I pulled my hand out of my pocket. The skin was completely normal brown again. The gold was hidden deep under my baseline. "Chief Zhang, Director Chen... their whole loop turned to dust. Their credit line was completely fake.""Then why are the sky lines still red?" Long Wu asked, stepping into the kitchen from the back door. He had Li and Yue behind him. He pointed a thick finger through our broken roof. "Look up, Boss. The red text blocks aren't disappearing. They're getting thicker.""Because Chen was just a small branch manager, Long Wu,"
Chapter 229: The Lunar Liquidation
"Ming! The roof is gone!" Su Qinghe screamed. She threw her body over Yue, shielding her from the falling plaster. The purple harvester beam roared right through our ceiling, a freezing mechanical wind that smelled like burnt copper and dead space. "The kids! Get them out!""Dad! The pig is pulling my hands!" Li cried. His small fingers were glued to the translucent white clay. The dense gold light inside the pig was spinning fast, matching the purple beam's rhythm. The raw power of fifty short-sold level-ups was ready to blow."Long Wu! Grab the kids now!" I roared. I didn't step back from the purple light. My right human arm stopped aching. The flesh went completely numb as the massive gold surplus in the room hit my baseline. "Take them down to the root cellar!""I got 'em, Boss!" Long Wu lunged through the dust cloud. His massive arms scooped up Li and Yue. He dragged them toward the back door, his heavy boots smashing through the broken drywall. "Qinghe, move!""Ming, your eyes!"
Chapter 228: The Audit of Fatherhood
The golden sheets in the sky kept scrolling. The red lines moved fast across the clouds. I ran all the way from the bank back to my house. My boots pounded the dirt path. My right human arm was stiff and heavy from the cold air.I burst through the front door. Su Qinghe was standing in the living room, her silver eyes fixed on the ceiling."Ming! You're back!" she cried, rushing over to grab my coat. "The pressure is dropping. The Central Bank ledger is lining up right over our roof. Long Wu told me what happened. Did you clear the ten thousand units from Zhao Kang?""I cleared them, Qinghe," I said, catching my breath. I hung my jacket on the peg. "The sub-lease is closed. But the balance sheet is still running a surplus. Where are the kids?""They're in their bedroom," she whispered, her voice tight. "Yue is trying to sleep. But Li... Li won't close his eyes. He keeps asking about the noise outside."I walked down the narrow hallway, my boots making a quiet thud against the wood. I
Chapter 227: The Vigilante Audit
The streets of Hanhai used to be quiet after midnight. Now, they hummed with unstable celestial code.I leaned against the brick wall of the commercial bank, my left hand deep in my jacket pocket, gripping my black pen. My right arm throbbed from the cold night air. Across the alley, the iron vault doors of the Hanhai Credit Union were already bent completely out of shape, smoke pouring from the hinges."Ming, he’s coming out," Su Qinghe’s voice cracked through the small earpiece wire. She was sitting back at the office with the physical ledger. "The tracker says he just absorbed another ten thousand units of your short-sold XP. He’s moving fast.""I see him, Qinghe," I said.A massive man stepped through the shattered glass of the bank front. It was Zhao Kang. Yesterday, he was just a lazy dock worker who couldn't lift a sack of grain. Tonight, his arms were three times their normal size, glowing with a bright, erratic gold light that bled straight through his torn linen shirt. He ca
Chapter 226: The Anatomy of a Reluctant God
"Ming! Stop it! Force it down!" Su Qinghe’s voice cracked in the quiet schoolyard. She grabbed my wrists, her silver eyes wide with real terror. "The gold light is crawling up your neck! Look at the counter in your eyes!""I'm trying, Qinghe!" I gritted my teeth, my whole body shaking. The skin on my hands burned like hot grease. Inside my skull, a heavy, electronic sound kept chiming.`[LEVEL UP: 25... 38... 50...]`"Boss! Your footprint!" Long Wu shouted from the truck door. He dropped his iron crowbar. It hit the asphalt with a loud clang. "The dirt under your boots is turning into solid marble! The grass is growing five feet high in three seconds!""Get the kids away, Long Wu!" I roared, my voice carrying a weird, metallic echo that made the school windows rattle. "Don't let them touch this perimeter!""Come on, Li! Yue! Inside the cabin now!" Long Wu shoved the kids into the back seat and slammed the door.I looked down at my palms. The gold lines were thick now, pulsing right un
Chapter 225: The Level 0 Speedrun
"Dad! Look at his sword!" Li yelled from behind my leg. He pulled my trousers tight. "The red fire is coming closer!""Stay back, Li. Yue, hold your brother's hand," I said, my voice completely flat. My eyes didn't look at the massive red blade. I looked right at the space between Chief Zhang's boots.The flaming sword cut through the neon-green air, hummed with 16-bit noise."You're dead, Qin Ming!" Chief Zhang shrieked, his purple armor clanking loud as he took a massive step forward. "Your base damage is five! Five! My health pool is nine hundred and fifty thousand! You can't even scratch my baseline boots!""I don't need to scratch your boots, Zhang," I said. I didn't pull a weapon. I took one quick, sharp step to the right, ignoring his massive attack radius entirely."Where are you looking, peasant?" Zhang roared, swinging the flaming sword in a wide arc. "The attack loop is locked onto your coordinates! You can't dodge a level 99 automated strike!""I'm not dodging the strike,
