The mention of the Christmas tree seemed to hit Teppei Uehara's sore spot. He subconsciously changed the subject: "Are you short of money for food? I can lend you some, although I don't have much money."
"I still have enough money for room and board."
"Then why do you want money so much, just to have that surgery?" Teppei Uehara looked in disbelief, "I thought you were joking with me."
"I'm so serious, how could I be joking." Yuanye said seriously.
"Okay." Teppei Uehara nodded, "I will give you the contact information of the middleman, so how are you going to collect the money?"
"I have some talent in swordsmanship." Yuanye thought for a while and said, "But I haven't thought about the details yet. Maybe I will make money as a mercenary?"
"I'm going to Shibuya after school. Do you want to come with me?"
"My sister had an accident during her performance yesterday. She fell off the lift and broke a leg." Teppei Uehara rejected Genya, "I want to see her after school."
Yuanye couldn't say anything else, so he could only immerse himself in the curry rice.
After school in the afternoon, Genya and Yagyu Sakura confirmed that their part-time job as a sparring partner only started at four o'clock every day. Seeing that they still had free time, they took a bus to Shibuya and came to Sato's shop again.
"You're here again." Sato sat behind the counter, adjusting a prosthetic arm. "What did you do this time? Did you get involved in the Yakuza again?"
Genya did have some conflicts with the Yakuza recently, but Sakata was considered a member of the Black Dragon Society after all, and told Sato that he didn't know what would happen yet, but it would be bad if a flood washed away the Dragon King Temple.
"I'm here to ask Mr. Sato if there are any channels through which I can make money with my swordsmanship." Genya told the truth. He really didn't know how to earn this money through honest channels.
"You want money? Isn't the ten million you won from Uesugi enough for you to spend?" Sato knew what happened to Genya in the arena. In his opinion, this amount of money is not enough for a high school student. It's a small amount of money, but it's definitely enough to spend.
"I want to try to get into New Imperial University, but the money is really not enough." Yuanye replied.
"The ambition is very ambitious, but unfortunately, in a school like New Imperial University, the moment you come out of your mother's womb, it has already been decided whether you can pass the exam." Sato said sarcastically, "You don't have the brainpower at all now. I might support you in getting admitted to New Imperial University, otherwise you would have been recruited by those private colleges named by chaebol companies when you were in middle school."
"It is true that I have not been genetically modified, and my innate genes do not support the development of my carbon-based brain far beyond that of ordinary people, so I still need surgery to stimulate the secondary development of the carbon-based brain."
"I'm not going to ask where you heard about this kind of surgery that controls information on ordinary people like you." Sato stopped what he was doing. "Since you know about this surgery, you should also know that the price of this surgery is not yours at all. Affordable.”
"Indeed." Yuanye nodded, "So I need money."
"Why do you want to pass the New Imperial University?"
"Because I don't want to be an ordinary person." Yuan Ye said his answer decisively.
Although Yuanye's golden finger can add points, he can only rely on his own lifespan to add points before he gets additional psychic energy.
Now Yuanye still has eighty-two years left to use, but upgrading his swordsmanship skills to LV.7 requires 25,550 spiritual energy points, which is a life span of seventy years. Adding the physical quality related to life span increase to 16 requires 2,200 points. , six years of life; adding to 17 requires ten years of life, 18 of thirty years of life, 19 of fifty years, and the real physical quality of 20 that is added to the carbon-based limit requires 36,500 points of psychic energy - a full hundred years of life.
Not to mention that Yuan Ye's lifespan is simply not enough. Even if his physical fitness is raised to the carbon-based limit, it is still unknown how long his lifespan can be extended. But even if we only refer to the public news, the life span of the carbon-based bodies of the upper class in this world has exceeded 150 years. If they are willing to replace the mechanical prostheses and put their brains in a special culture chamber for maintenance, even theoretically It is possible to live over three hundred years before the inevitable death of brain cells occurs.
Whether he doesn’t want to live a barren life, desires a longer lifespan, or wants to fulfill his promise to destroy the Black Dragon Society, before Genya finds extra spiritual energy to make money, he is currently admitted to the New Emperor University and then joins the chaebol group. The most feasible way is to say that it is impossible to really expect a rich woman to support him.
"What a straightforward and irrefutable answer." Sato looked at Yuanye, "I have met many young people like you, and I know very well what you are thinking."
"I don't want to die in obscurity, but to become an eternal legend." Yuan Ye changed his tone and said this sentence word for word.
Before time travel, Yuanye would not have chosen such a risky path. At that time, he might have chosen to attend an ordinary university and then live a passable life. The biggest use of his golden finger was probably to allow him to work part-time as a kendo instructor. To support the family, and finally die an ordinary death.
But at the moment when he realized the time travel, some kind of change must have occurred in Yuanye's heart that he was still unclear about. This change made him hate the ordinary self in the past. Since his past self was willing to be ordinary because of fear of failure, So after time travel, even this life was picked up for nothing. Now, why don't you dare to put everything on the gambling table and play a big game?
"I saw the fire burning in your eyes." Sato took out a card from his close-fitting wallet and threw it to Genya, "For a person like you, even if you are rejected by me, you will never give up. , it’s better for me to simply show you the way, which will save your time.”
"There is a QR code on it. You can download a communication software through it." Sato explained the usage of the card to Genya, "The card itself is a physical authentication. You can use it to contact [Unknown] using that software. Man-Machine], a notorious intelligence dealer in the underground world."
"Of course, being notorious in the underground world also means that he is a person with great supernatural powers." Sato said calmly, "He may have something you need."
"That's it." Sato ended the conversation with Yuanye, "Don't come to my place again."
"Thank you very much." Yuan Ye said solemnly.
Sato said nothing more, just waved his hand and asked Yuanye to leave quickly.
Looking at the closed door, Sato suddenly remembered that he forgot to ask Genya not to tell Teppei Uehara about this.
"Even if he doesn't tell Zheping, what's the point." Sato thought of this and suddenly laughed, "It is a very normal need to pursue a better life. If Zheping really doesn't want to live an ordinary life, then no matter how hard he stops, Can’t stop him.”
"If you want to blame me, I am the grandfather who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He keeps all the money for himself to extend his life." Sato laughed dumbly. "Who am I, a cold-blooded person, to blame him?"
Sato took out a tube of programmed medical nanorobots and injected 100 million yen into his body.
