Looking at her sister squatting there, repeatedly examining the vase, Yukino sighed softly.
Her lips moved, about to explain the situation.
But then, Yuno directly put down the vase, grabbed Yukino's hand and pulled her out.
“Let’s go home!”
Regardless of the truth of the matter, with her younger sister seemingly obtaining extraordinary power.
This had become a matter of paramount importance for the entire family.
Pulled by her sister, Yukino didn't resist.
Glancing at her sister with a rare serious expression, she asked in confusion, “Sister, aren't you curious about what happened to me?”
“Of course I am,” Yuno smiled at her, “Although I'm curious, I think Yukino's experience must be very complicated.
“Anyway, we'll have to explain it to Mother back home.
“I don't have to wait long, so there's no need for Yukino to repeat the same complex story twice.”
Yukino looked at her, nodded, and said nothing more.
Half an hour later, they returned to the Yuki-no-shi-ta family's ancestral home in Chiba.
“Yuno, Yukino, what's this…”
Her younger daughter had taken leave from school yesterday and didn't go to school today, and numerous calls had failed to reach her.
Mrs. Yuki-no-shi-ta was naturally worried about her younger daughter's safety.
Seeing her eldest daughter bring her younger daughter back home safely, Mrs. Yuki-no-shi-ta secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But seeing her two daughters' hurried steps, especially the serious expression on her eldest daughter's face.
Mrs. Yuki-no-shi-ta couldn't help but ask again.
Yuno glanced at her sister, took a deep breath, and then looked at her mother with a serious expression, saying:
“Mother, something may have happened to our little Yukino that could change the entire landscape of Japan.”
“…”
Mrs. Yuki-no-shi-ta was stunned for a moment, then her face darkened, and she coldly rebuked, “Yuno, when did you start talking nonsense?”
“I'm telling the truth.”
Yuno looked around and saw that there were no servants nearby, so she said to her sister, “Yukino, come and prove it to Mother.”
Yukino saw her sister and mother looking at her.
She nodded, her eyes scanning the surrounding area.
Finally, she fixated on the rockery in the courtyard.
Then, under the confused gaze of Yuno and Mrs. Yuki-no-shi-ta, she raised her right hand, gently slapped the rockery with her palm.
Before Yuno and Mrs. Yuki-no-shi-ta could ask their questions, they heard a loud 'boom' beside them.
Following the sound, they saw that the rockery that Yukino had slapped with her palm had vanished, leaving behind a pit several meters in diameter.
“This…” Mrs. Yuki-no-shi-ta was completely stunned.
Yuno, who had personally witnessed 'extraordinary power' once, was no better. She was also dumbfounded, staring at the deep pit left after the rockery vanished.
“Yukino… did, did you do this?”
Although she had already guessed, Yuno still seemed a little uncertain when she asked this question.
Could this really be something a human could do?
A palm strike from a distance directly obliterating a rockery, leaving behind a pit several meters in diameter.
Even the legendary ninjas and onmyoji of Japan didn't seem to possess such power, did they?
However, in the face of her sister's incredulous inquiry, Yukino calmly nodded.
This was just the result of her restraining most of her power, nothing to make a fuss about.
The conversation between the sisters awakened Mrs. Yuki-no-shi-ta's stunned consciousness.
“Yuno, Yukino, what's going on?”
“I joined a chat group, a chat group that connects many worlds, with members from different worlds…”
Yuki-no-shi-ta Yukino looked up at her mother and recounted her experience.
The Tianren-level power she obtained without using any of the family's resources gave her some confidence in facing her once feared mother.
After listening to her account, Mrs. Yuki-no-shi-ta and Yuki-no-shi-ta Yuno both fell silent.
If they hadn't witnessed their younger daughter (sister) smashing a rockery with a palm strike from a distance.
If the deep pit left behind after the rockery vanished wasn't there to remind them to respect the facts.
They would have suspected that Yukino had developed a case of middle school syndrome and was having some unrealistic fantasy.
A chat group existing in one's mind?
Invited members from different worlds?
As long as there are enough points, one can obtain extraordinary power and even a long lifespan?
All this sounded like a story from a storybook, but it was actually happening before their eyes.
After a long silence, Mrs. Yuki-no-shi-ta sighed softly.
“Yukino… Yuno, come with me.”
She stood up and walked towards the inner residence, Yukino and Yuno exchanged glances and followed behind her.
A moment later, Mrs. Yuki-no-shi-ta brought her two daughters into a basement.
The moment the lights turned on, all three were momentarily blinded by a burst of golden light.
The Yuki-no-shi-ta sisters looked towards the source of the golden light and saw a pile of gold bars neatly stacked.
“Mother?”
Yukino looked at her mother in confusion, having never known that there were such things in the house.
“This, is gold that has been accumulated by the family over generations.
“It was meant to be used in case the family fell into decline, so that future generations could use it to overcome the crisis and rise again.
“But since you got such an opportunity with the chat group, this naturally needs to be used for you.
“There are a total of five tons of gold here, which can be exchanged for one thousand points.
“We will try our best to buy another twenty tons of gold for you, so that you can purchase higher-level martial arts, without affecting the basic operation of the business.
“More than that, we can't afford it.”
Japan has severe class solidification.
The Yuki-no-shi-ta family is the top-tier noble house in Chiba, but it's still incredibly difficult to rise further.
Yukino getting such an opportunity with the chat group is a chance for the entire family.
She would naturally provide the greatest possible support without endangering the family's survival.
However, even if all of the Yuki-no-shi-ta family's assets were combined, it would only amount to four or five hundred billion yen.
Being able to dedicate nearly half of her wealth to support her younger daughter was already the limit of what she could do.
After hearing her mother's words, Yuki-no-shi-ta Yukino wanted to refuse.
However, before she could speak, she heard Yuno suddenly speak beside her, "Perhaps… we can choose to cooperate with other families?
“The temptation of longevity and extraordinary power is something that any living being who possesses wealth and power cannot refuse.
“Little Yukino can purchase pills from the chat group that allow people to rapidly grow stronger, and she also possesses Tianren-level martial arts.
“Not to mention pills, even just the Tianren-level martial arts that can make people live for three hundred years.
“If we sell a copy for ten tons of gold, there should be plenty of people willing to buy, right?
“As for the pills, we can easily increase the price ten to twenty times and still sell them.
“With the wealth of all the major families in Japan supporting Yukino.
“It shouldn't take long for Yukino to accumulate enough points to buy the entire 'Martial Arts Classic’.”
Mrs. Yuki-no-shi-ta was a little tempted after hearing her eldest daughter's suggestion.
But before she could speak, she heard her younger daughter resolutely refusing, "No."
“Hm?” Yuno looked at her sister, puzzled, “Why?”
Yuki-no-shi-ta Yukino said seriously,
“There are three other members who joined the chat group with me.
“Those three are all Chinese, one of them is the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty.
“Most importantly, judging from the name and language habits of the group leader, he should also be a Chinese Xian Shen.”
Mrs. Yuki-no-shi-ta and Yuki-no-shi-ta Yuno immediately understood.
“In that case… martial arts and pills, it’s really not suitable to cooperate with those Japanese families.
“Even if we’re not in the same world, even if those members in the group and that mysterious group leader don't mind.
“We can't take it lightly, and we can't ignore this taboo.”
Yuki-no-shi-ta Yuno nodded in agreement, then changed the subject.
“However… although we can't cooperate with the Japanese financial tycoons, we can cooperate with China.
“Directly contact the Chinese government and open all the products in the chat group mall to them for a certain profit.
“Then, the Chinese government can step forward and protect us, facing the world.
“We can sell products that are one level, two levels, or even several levels lower than the highest level in the chat group to various countries at ten times, twenty times, or even dozens of times the price, and we can split the profits.
“In this way, we can both cooperate and win, right?
“Even if we don't make a profit margin on the products purchased by China, we still make a profit.
“After all, the only way to buy anything from the chat group is through Yukino.
“For knowledge-based things like martial arts, once they are purchased, Yukino can learn them directly.”
