As soon as I left the police station, I headed straight to the bank. According to what was said on the Underworld show cell phone鈥檚 inbox, everything I had exchanged using my redemption points should have been locked in my personal safe deposit box. Although I didn鈥檛 know what a personal safe deposit box was, I trusted that the underworld show wouldn鈥檛 deceive me in this regard.

Covered in mud and with torn pants, I felt like a refugee fleeing for safety as I arrived at one of the largest banks in Jiangcheng.

鈥淪ir, what kind of business can I help you with?鈥?br>
鈥淚 want to retrieve something from my personal safe deposit box. The card number is 622843鈥︹€?br>
鈥淧ersonal safe deposit box? I鈥檓 sorry, sir, but we don鈥檛 offer that service here. Are you sure you didn鈥檛 make a mistake?鈥?The bank teller鈥檚 tone was polite, but the other people in line waiting to conduct their own business weren鈥檛 as patient.

鈥淲ho does this country bumpkin think he is? Personal safe deposit box? Does he think the bank is his own personal property?鈥?br>
鈥淢aybe you鈥檙e in the wrong place, buddy. The rural credit cooperative is right next door.鈥?br>
鈥淗urry up, hurry up. I鈥檓 running out of time.鈥?br>
As the group of people continued chattering behind me, I had already grown accustomed to them. 鈥淐ould you please check again? My card number is 622843鈥︹€?br>
The bank teller looked troubled, and the security guard at the door started walking over. 鈥淗ow about this? I鈥檒l ask the manager for you. If she doesn鈥檛 know either, then there鈥檚 nothing else I can do.鈥?br>
I believed that this bank teller was a recent college graduate who was interning here. Otherwise, If it were someone else, they would probably have lost their patience by now.

鈥淗ey, our time is valuable.鈥?br>
鈥淗ey you, country bumpkin, step aside.鈥?br>
After a short while, the bank teller hurriedly ran back to the window. She didn鈥檛 say anything, but just placed a sign indicating that their business had been temporarily suspended on the counter.

鈥淲hat does this mean? You鈥檙e neglecting your duties. Watch out, we鈥檒l file a complaint against you!鈥?br>
鈥淵eah, where鈥檚 your branch manager? I want to make a complaint!鈥?br>
After more than ten seconds, not only the window in front of me but also the next three counters behind me all suspended their business. The staff hurriedly ran to the back room.

鈥淲hat鈥檚 going on? Is this some kind of anti-terrorism drill?鈥?br>
I was wondering what was happening when suddenly a sweet voice came from the VIP channel, 鈥淢r. Gao, please come this way!鈥?br>
鈥淭he VIP channel? For transactions of over a million? Just for him?鈥?A group of people stared at me with their eyes wide open, as if they wanted to poke holes through my body. They whispered to each other, while the beautiful branch manager called out again, 鈥淢r. Gao, please come to the VIP lounge.鈥?br>
As I looked around at their surprised looks, I, who usually only had a three-digit balance in my account, was finally able to hold my head up high. 鈥淥h, sure, but I鈥檝e been standing for so long, I鈥檓 a little thirsty.鈥?br>
鈥淚鈥檓 deeply sorry. Do you prefer Longjing or Pu鈥檈r tea?鈥?br>
鈥淒on鈥檛 bother, just bring me a bottle of chilled Coke first.鈥?br>
For my first time entering the VIP lounge, I never thought that there would be such a luxurious reception room inside the bank.

鈥淭his place is nice, and this sofa is made of real leather, right?鈥?br>
鈥淵ou flatter us.鈥?The head manager accompanied me on the side. After more than ten minutes, the young teller came over with a tray in her hands. 鈥淪ir, here are the keys to your safe deposit box.鈥?br>
In the center of the tray was a pure black bank card, whose material and reflection could not be discerned, appearing very modest and low-key.

鈥淵our safe deposit box is located underground. Do you want to go and open it now?鈥?br>
鈥淥f course.鈥?With four staff members accompanying me, I entered the underground vault, swiped my card, inputted my password, and opened the safe before retrieving the item wrapped in black cloth. The entire process felt like a scene out of a movie, and even when I walked out of the bank holding the package, it felt like I was dreaming.

鈥淲ow, this is really something. What kind of organization is the 鈥楿nderworld Show鈥?鈥?I mused, but while opening the package. 鈥淒ing!鈥?A golden object fell out and attracted the attention of countless bystanders.

鈥淭he color鈥?the shape鈥?that dazzling feeling鈥︹€?br>
鈥淥h my god, it鈥檚 a gold bar!鈥?I picked it up and didn鈥檛 even look back, rushing to a taxi. 鈥淒river, step on it!鈥?br>
Sitting in the passenger seat, I secretly put the gold bar in my pocket and flipped through the General Outline of Inner Eye practice manual. 鈥淥ne point can be exchanged for a whole gold bar. This General Outline of Inner Eye practice manual cost me three points; it鈥檚 definitely not ordinary.鈥?br>
My eyes shone as if I were opening Pandora鈥檚 box. 鈥淴-ray vision, my god, I鈥檓 actually a bit excited just thinking about it.鈥?br>
The book was bound in thread and looked quite ancient. As I turned to the first page, a few grandiose characters caught my eye: 鈥淪parkling drops of clear and bright insight, with five sharp senses, merge the realms of both light and night. Sight and sound can reach a million miles, and in the universe we are but a small boat amidst its vast exiles.鈥?br>
鈥淕reat writing; profound and extensive. The author has depicted the essence of humanity in a precise and insightful way!鈥?br>
I was so excited that I almost stood up and applauded, but when I turned to the second page, I exclaimed, 鈥淏lank page?鈥?br>
The second page was completely blank, without a single word.

鈥淭his might be a printing error. Everyone makes mistakes; well let鈥檚 just try to understand the other pages then.鈥?br>
However, an ominous feeling began to build up in my heart as I continued flipping through the pages, only to find more and more blank pages.

With frustration building up, I slammed my fist onto the seat, startling the bewildered driver. I frantically flipped through the pages, only to realize that the entire book, except for the first page, was completely blank.

鈥淗ey man, buying a pirated book shouldn鈥檛 lead to this kind of situation, don鈥檛 you think?鈥?The taxi driver voiced his bewilderment.

鈥淧irated book?鈥?Three gold bars worth almost 70,000 yuan鈥攃an your pirated book sell for that price?

I forcefully resisted the urge to tear it apart and re-wrapped it with the packaging. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 know if the underworld show gives refunds or not鈥︹€?br>
After a day and a night without much sleep, I finally made it back to my small shop, exhausted and worn out. 鈥淚 can finally get a good night鈥檚 sleep now, right?鈥?br>
As I got out of the taxi, I soon realized that I was too naive. Three people were already waiting for me outside the small 鈥淧eak of Happiness鈥?store, one standing, one sitting, and one squatting.

鈥淲hat the hell? Are you waiting for a windfall? Is this just one more stroke of bad luck like when it rains on a leaking roof?鈥?br>
One of them leaned against a BMW X1, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a sharp suit and holding a red letter.

The other looked to be in his mid-forties, but still sturdy and strong, with a tall and lean figure. His eyes were covered with a layer of black cloth, and he held a carrying pole with a fierce expression, squatting outside the adult store.

As for the third person, she was much cuter, holding a school bag and timidly sitting on the side, occasionally glancing over at the other two.

鈥淗ow did these three come together?鈥?I actually knew all of them. The one wearing a suit and driving a BMW was the secretary of the general manager of Jiangjin Real Estate Company. He was quite well-known in Jiangcheng.

The one holding a carrying pole with a fierce look on his face was Blind Liu. Judging from his hostile expression, I guess the matter involving the thunder talisman has been exposed. As for the cute and shy high school girl, she was Xia Qingzhi, who was worried about her brother鈥檚 safety.

鈥淗ehe, the arrival of you three really brightens up my small shop. However, due to my current physical condition, I won鈥檛 be open for business today. So, excuse me鈥︹€?br>
As I turned around, a gust of wind brushed past my cheek, and I heard a loud 鈥渂ang鈥? Blind Liu鈥檚 seven-foot pole had landed just an inch away from my feet, and the pavement聽tiles beneath it had even cracked a little.

My throat tightened as I realized the gravity of the situation. Never mind the other two, but Blind Liu had definitely come looking for a fight with me today.

鈥淥ld Liu, what are you doing? This is a society governed by the rule of laws. We can talk things out without resorting to violence,鈥?I said with a bitter expression on my face as I pulled out my keys.

鈥淓veryone, let鈥檚 not stand outside. It doesn鈥檛 look good. Let鈥檚 go inside and talk.鈥?br>
鈥淚 won鈥檛 bother you any further,鈥?said the man in the suit, pushing his glasses up with a professional smile on his face. 鈥淭his is an invitation to young master Jiang and Miss Ye Bing鈥檚 wedding. We hope you can make it despite your busy schedule. Not just Miss Ye Bing, but young master Jiang also wants to meet you.鈥?br>
鈥淢eet me?鈥?That guy, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, wanted to meet a poor guy like me at his wedding nonetheless? This maneuver was probably just to step on my face and show Ye Bing who the most suitable candidate was.

I could already predict what would happen at the wedding. A group of sycophants would surely mock me, flatter Jiang Chen, and try to make me look bad. But I couldn鈥檛 back down now. I had promised Ye Bing that I would attend.

鈥淲hat a petty man,鈥?I muttered to myself. 鈥淏ut it doesn鈥檛 matter. I promised Ye Bing that I would be there.鈥?There were some things I had to say to her face.

鈥淰ery well, we鈥檒l be waiting for your arrival,鈥?said the man in the suit as he handed me the gilded invitation and drove away in his BMW.

鈥淥ne down, two more to go,鈥?I said as I opened the door to my shop and hung the 鈥渃losed鈥?sign. I then invited Blind Liu and Xia Qingzhi inside.
