Swallowed Star: Start with Family Revitalization

Chapter 4 Generous Rewards
"real?!"

"Can I lie to you about this?"

"Great!"

Shen Ping was very surprised and hugged his wife and kissed her.

Li Yuewei pushed Shen Ping away and said half-jokingly, "Be gentle, be gentle, don't touch the child."

"Yep."

Shen Ping suddenly became cautious. He stretched out his hand and placed it on his wife's belly, pressing his ear against it. He seemed to be able to feel the blood inside that was connected to his own flesh and blood. An excited smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Having a child not only meant that he would have more ties in the world of Devouring the Stars, but also meant that his family was beginning to prosper.

Looking at Shen Ping like this.

Li Yuewei couldn't help laughing, "I just tested it today, you can still hear the sound, all right, you go to the martial arts hall, I'll go back to the room and lie down for a while, I have to go to the mall to work in the evening."

Upon hearing this.

Shen Ping immediately said, "Wife, you should stop going to work now that you are pregnant. What if you get hurt and the baby in your belly gets hurt? You should just quit your job."

Li Yuewei rolled her eyes. "I'm not that delicate. Besides, I'm just pregnant. As long as I don't do strenuous exercise, I'll be fine. I'll apply for maternity leave in a few months."

Seeing that his wife did not mention resignation.

Shen Ping did not continue this topic. He changed into his training clothes and went to the martial arts training hall on the second floor.

Calm down your excitement.

Then he began to practice swordsmanship.

During this period of time, he had already mastered the burst of the third level of the Nine-Layer Thunder Blade, and he also became accustomed to holding the blade with his left hand. He could perfectly display his body coordination by coordinating with his body movements. After practicing the blade, he continued to practice the Nine-Layer Hunyuan Guiding Technique.

The cells that quickly consume energy eagerly absorb the free energy from the universe to nourish every part of the body.

At night.

He drove his wife to the HR Alliance Mall Building. His wife had been working the night shift these days, and he followed his wife's schedule to go to and from get off work at Pingwei Materials Company.

Come to the company.

The night shift receptionist saluted hastily.

Shen Ping nodded and walked straight to his office. The company currently did not have many employees, but they were still divided into day shift and night shift. Because the time for warriors to leave the wilderness area and return to the base city was not fixed, the company had to remain open 24 hours a day.

Sitting at the desk.

I opened my notebook and looked at today's sales, and there was not a single completed order.

In this regard.

He didn't care too much about it. He established the company mainly to obtain family rewards, so it would be fine as long as there was no serious loss.

"After my wife gives birth, I have to go to the wilderness area to hone my skills. On the one hand, it can speed up the improvement of my physical fitness, and on the other hand, it can also give me an excuse for my sudden increase in strength."

Turning around and looking at the night view outside the window, Shen Ping fell into deep thought.

If you want to develop a family in this world of Devouring the Stars, strong personal strength is essential, and even has to be put first. After all, without sufficient military deterrence, no matter how many industrial resources the family expands, it will only be a wedding dress for others.

As a warrior with a broken right arm, if his strength suddenly increased, it would inevitably arouse suspicion and covetousness, so it was necessary for him to go to the wilderness area.

There are precedents for people who fight monsters in the wilderness every day and suddenly have an epiphany that improves their swordsmanship and their physical fitness.

……

Early August.

The hot pot restaurant has been renovated and officially opened on a good day.

On the opening day, there were many customers due to discounts and promotions, and business was booming. Shen Ping, Li Qi, his wife and parents were so busy that even Li Qi's girlfriend didn't have time to talk to Shen Ping.

Until closing time at night.

Only a few people have time to rest.

"Brother-in-law, it looks like the store needs to recruit more employees."

Li Qi suggested.

Shen Ping pondered for a moment and said, "It's normal to have a lot of people when the store just opened. After the discount is over, things will return to normal. However, there are only two or three waiters in the store, which is indeed too few. You should hire two more."

Li Qi quickly said, "My girlfriend Su Tong has two or three best friends who haven't found a job yet. How about asking them to come over?"

"Okay, you make the decision." Shen Ping would not care about such a small matter. After returning to the community, he opened the virtual box and a line of text appeared on it.

[Your family has added a new industry, taking a step towards prosperity]

[Reward: The Second Level of the Nine-Layer Thunder Blade]

See this.

Shen Ping frowned. His swordsmanship had already reached the third level, but now he was rewarded with the second level, which was completely useless.

"Is it that the rewards for developing the family industry are random? Or are the rewards affected by the overall profits and growth potential of the industry?"

After careful consideration.

He felt the second option was most likely.

For a materials company, its development prospects are far better than that of a hot pot restaurant, so the rewards will increase. If this is true, then his idea of ​​developing the industry by renting shops will undoubtedly fail.

"The money in hand is still too little. If it is a large hot pot chain, or other industries related to people's livelihood, the reward should be higher... But once the number of industries increases, it is inevitable that there will be competition with the consortiums in the base city."

The consortium headed by the Zheng family in Central China Base City would not care about minor fights between individual warriors, but if their interests were affected, they would definitely intervene.

Shen Ping knew this very well, so his original idea was to open a few small shops first and continue to receive rewards to improve himself, but now it seems that this approach is not feasible.

"Don't be impatient. My strength is low, so it's safest to accumulate step by step."

He took several deep breaths and calmed himself down.

Has a family golden finger.

He need not be impatient.

In the following months, Shen Ping no longer considered opening a store. Instead, he ran the materials company honestly and accompanied his wife. His life was dull and boring.

late at night.

Starlight shines through the window onto the bed.

Li Yuewei tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

Shen Ping asked with concern.

Li Yuewei hesitated and said, "Husband, it must be very hard for you to endure it during this period. The doctor said that you can do that in the second trimester of pregnancy. Otherwise, you can be gentler."

Shen Ping thought it was something else, but it turned out to be this. He smiled and said, "Wife, I'm fine. You have a big belly now, so you have to be more careful."

Li Yuewei added: "Well, if it really doesn't work, go find someone outside to take care of it, and don't bring it home."

Shen Ping immediately became alert. His wife was not usually so generous and was sometimes jealous. Why would she take the initiative to ask him to find other girls to solve his physical problems? This must be a test.

"Wife, what are you talking about? You are the only one in my heart. I won't touch any other girl."

Li Yuewei was touched when she heard this, "Hubby, you are so good to me."

Shen Ping secretly thought that he was quick to react, otherwise he would have been in trouble. "Go to sleep quickly, don't let your mind wander."

After this little episode tonight.

He took even better care of his wife, and in mid-April of the following year, his wife finally gave birth to his child in the hospital.

"Congratulations, Mr. Shen, it's a son."

Looking at the child brought over by the doctor.

Shen Ping's face was full of excitement. He walked to the bedside and asked his wife to look at their son.

"It's white and plump, I'm sure I can eat it in the future."

"Just call him Shen Yu."

After preparing several names, Li Yuewei finally chose Shen Yu.

While his wife's parents were holding their child and watching, Shen Ping opened the virtual frame, and there was indeed an extra line of text on it.

[Your family has its first bloodline, a small step towards prosperity]

[Reward: a portion of dragon blood, the fourth level of the Nine-Layer Thunder Blade, and artistic conception-level body skills. ]
