Game Lord's Cultivation System

"Halt, this place is the Central District and is restricted to those without status." The guard raised their hand as they prevented Jiang Ming from entering.

Jiang Ming didn't even bother replying to the guard as he retrieved his gold card and waved it around.

When the guard realized the card that Jiang Ming was holding, they were a little bit suspicious but in the end, they moved aside.

'Better safe than sorry. Who knows how many hidden experts are lurking in the shadows?' One of the guards said inwardly as he wasn't willing to risk his life and confront a possibly powerful background person.

"My mistakes, I didn't know you had a gold card." The guard smiled awkwardly as he moved aside and let Jiang Ming enter.

'Oi, this guard is pretty smart and uses his brain well.'

Jiang Ming chuckled inwardly as he asked, "What's your name?"

"Haha, my name is Chen Zhiqiang," Chen Zhiqiang laughed as he introduced himself.

"Chen Zhiqiang huh, you made a pretty smart decision today," Jiang Ming smiled briefly as he entered the Central District.

Madam Yang was in disbelief when she saw how easy it was for Jiang Ming to enter the Central District without any obstruction.

However, she didn't have time to ponder as Hong Ling tugged her shoulder to tell her to hurry up since Jiang Ming didn't plan on waiting.

"Hong Ling, you have been here before with Little Ren right?" Jiang Ming turned around to look at Hong Ling and asked softly.

Hong Ling nodded her head and said, "Yes, Alchemist Ren would occasionally take me along here to buy some herbs and do some business in the pharmacy shop."

"Pharmacy shop?"

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrow in surprise. If he recalled correctly, a pharmacy shop is a lower level compared to an alchemy guild because the pills sold in the pharmacy are common and are negligible.

Hong Ling saw his expression as she hurriedly explained, "T-The pharmacy shop may not be superior when compared to the alchemist guild but they are still useful when an alchemist wants to distribute his pills to be sold."

Jiang Ming's eyes flickered in excitement when he remembered what he used to do to gain money before becoming a top player.

"Seems like just having a relationship with the alchemist guild is not enough. Maybe I should try to gain a pharmacy shop as well and increase my influence." Jiang Ming mumbled softly, causing more confusion to Madam Yang who heard his plan.

"J-Jiang Ming, may I ask how you were able to bypass the guard's checkpoint." Madam Yang can no longer hold her curiosity as she asked Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming didn't expect her to question him this quickly as he placed his hand on her shoulder and whispered softly, "I will explain everything to you once we get a house here. Currently, there is too many eyesight in here so it's not suitable to talk about secrets here."

Afterward, Jiang Ming smiled and glanced at Hong Ling before telling her to find a merchant place to seek a house for living.

"Maste- Jiang Ming, there's a merchant business right across the corner that deals with these kinds of things. We can go to them and they will look for a house for us but their price is extremely expensive because we're in the Central District." Hong Ling informed everything she knew but warned Jiang Ming about the prices.

However, Jiang Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "Wealth is meant to be used and not to be safe keep. Since we decided to leave our old house, we obviously have to live a better and more grand life than before. Otherwise, how can the others know what a terrible mistake they made to force us to leave."

Jiang Ming held an evil expression as he couldn't wait to see the show in the future.

'Jiang Ming is truly a different person.' Madam Yang who saw everything occurring in front of her finally accepted reality. A reality where the previous Jiang Ming is gone and replaced by it is a better and self-confident Jiang Ming.

'Sister, if you see this heaven, I'm sure you would be proud to see your Jiang Ming growing up and becoming more handsome.' Madam Yang said inwardly as some tears started dripping in her eyes.

Jiang Ming noticed a change in Madam Yang's emotion as he quickly dashed toward her and asked, "What's wrong, mother?"

"Nothing, I'm just happy that you are grown up now." Madam Yang smiled blissfully as she shook her head and touched his chin softly.

"Hong Ling, take this gold card and inform a person in the merchant's place to quickly find a house for us. Remember, price is not a matter since we can put it in the tab with that card."

Jiang Ming instructed Hong Ling who quickly nodded her head as she took the gold card and ran toward the merchant place.

Once Hong Ling could no longer be seen, Jiang Ming held Madam Yang's hand and said, "It sure has been hard for you, aunt."

Madam Yang widened her eyes in disbelief as she stared at Jiang Ming.

"W-What did you just call me?" Madam Yang stuttered as she almost lost balance but Jiang Ming held her tightly, keeping her in balance as he went toward a nearby stone chair and sat down with her.

Afterward, Jiang Ming placed both his hands behind his head as he glanced at Madam Yang who held a frightened expression.

"You don't have to pretend anymore, aunt. Ever since I woke up from that injury and you touched my forehead, I was able to sense our bloodline is different, indicating that we may be blood-related but not the mother and son kind." Jiang Ming said slowly and continued.

"Although I don't know what your relationship is with the Ming family and why Kong Ming called me son when we have no blood relationship, I'm sure you'll have an explanation."

Madam Yang looked deeply into Jiang Ming's eye before giving off a soft sigh.

"Seems like that injury really changed you completely. Never did I think that the injury would be a blessing in disguise as it made you smarter to even detect our bloodline."
