Chapter 275: Chapter 273: D Level Promotion Mission “Sea of Lightless”!_1 Chapter 275: Chapter 273: D Level Promotion Mission “Sea of Lightless”!_1 Fifty thousand yuan!

The old dean probably knew Colin’s situation, and he understood that with his average grades and regular job after graduation, he couldn’t possibly have that much spare cash. Once he confirmed the money was indeed sent by Colin, he immediately started cursing.

“You little bastard, have you been scrimping and saving thinking about repaying the orphanage? Listen, there’s no need for it. Our institution isn’t in such a dire financial situation…”

“If you have money, dress yourself up properly, maybe find a wife, and carry on the family line for the Old Ke Family.”

“If you have time, it’s best to visit the orphanage and see those kids; you have several brothers and sisters who think about you every day.”

“…”

The old man, full of vigor, launched into a tirade of criticism. In his opinion, Colin must have pinched pennies miserably and after God knows how long, he managed to scrape together a little money and sent it over.

Colin could barely get a word in edgewise, and all he could do was hold his phone with an expression of bemused frustration.

This voice didn’t seem at all like that of a ninety-year-old person.

After a good while, when the other side finally finished, Colin had a chance to interject, only to see the freshly transferred fifty thousand yuan sent right back to him, minus a bit of handling fee taken by the bank…

“Don’t worry, I just made a bit of money…”

“Made some money? Where’s your girlfriend then? Have her talk to me, I heard you say that if you had money, you’d get a girlfriend…”

“Uh, not at the moment.”

“You don’t have one and you still have the nerve to call me? Who gave you the courage?”

“Uh…”

Colin pursed his lips; this wasn’t quite the scenario he had anticipated.

Wasn’t reality supposed to be him sending over fifty thousand yuan, and the old man calling back full of gratification, saying he had finally grown up and become capable?

How did it turn out to be a scolding instead?

“Actually, if I wanted to find a girlfriend or something, all I’d have to do is put the word out, and the queue of girls would stretch past ten meters…” Colin earnestly explained.

Alas, the old man simply didn’t believe him.

“Heh, you think you’re an emperor or something? Be practical, don’t go into society without having learned anything but how to brag.”

Uh, I am being practical, Colin thought to himself, shaking his head inwardly. To tell the truth, before his identity was revealed it wasn’t easy to say, but after his identity came out, with his current status, not to mention ten meters, a kilometer was possible.

Feeling confident about this, he actually became less anxious about such matters.

“Alright, don’t worry about the money. Xiao Chuan recently made quite a lot from that overseas trade, and in the past little while he’s earned over ten million, clear profit…”

Xiao Chuan was the old man’s second grandson, seven or eight years older than Colin. As a child, he was practically attached to Xiao Chuan’s heels, whether it was following him to construction sites to collect steel bars, hopping neighbors’ walls to pick starfruit and lychee, or going to shady internet cafes…

Their relationship was also quite good. Colin always called him Brother Chuan and respected him deeply in his heart.

After all, when they were caught red-handed by the dean back in the day, it was Brother Chuan who stepped up to take the blame, enduring being hung up and beaten without ratting out any of his younger brothers and sisters.

However…

Ten million plus, Colin narrowed his eyes, knowing that Brother Chuan’s little glass factory making a hundred thousand a year was already fortunate; making ten million out of the blue was almost impossible.

Even if he cut designs into glass, it couldn’t be done…

In almost an instant, he realized that this might be “support” from those official people.

“Alright, alright, I got it. I should ask Brother Chuan to treat me to a taste of that Sea Banquet sometime…”

With a flash of thought, Colin responded with a smile.

“By the way, when are you coming back for a visit? Pay respects to your parents, you haven’t come back at all these past few years.”

“Let me think, sometime recently.”

Colin didn’t deny it; indeed, he hadn’t been back for quite some time.

Adding to that, the welfare home was only a few cities away. Taking the subway and changing a few times, it wouldn’t take long to arrive.

“It seems like ‘Gene Compensation Medicine’ can only be used once you have the corresponding level of authority, otherwise, not to mention the reduced effect, the digestion speed seems to slow down too?”

Colin put down his cell phone, thinking about the occasional coughing and phlegm sound from the old man when he called, and considered giving either the old man or Brother Chuan a shot as well.

There were examples of this; he had heard about people using it for those close to them in the internal group.

However, the effectiveness would drop by more than half, and the medicine’s integration with the body would significantly slow down. Moreover, one must never use it out of their rank, or it would be directly ineffective; there were quite a lot of restrictions.

Colin didn’t know how officials would solve these problems but, after giving it some thought, he decided to wait for the official reports on experiments with Gene Compensation Medicine on ordinary people before considering trying it out.

Then, without giving it much more thought, Colin boredly flipped through the parchment to see if he could dig up some equipment.

After all, with plenty of points and nowhere to spend them, he figured he might as well benefit his colleagues. While they urgently needed money to participate in “Self-selected Trial Events,” he could purchase some props at low prices and elevate the people around him.

Soon, the day passed, and counting from the day before yesterday, it was now the third day.

“Initiate the mission, and then go to my post.”

Colin took out the E level Gene Compensation Medicine he had prepared in advance. This time it was a needleless injector, and he somewhat awkwardly pressed it against his arm and forcefully pushed the plunger.

A faint prickling sensation came from his skin.

Injection of medicine completed…

Since it was the third dose, the effect was not noticeable, and Colin only felt a slight warmth in his body for a minute or two.

Once the warmth subsided, Colin opened the parchment and indeed saw a message.

[You have met the requirements for promotion. Would you like to initiate the “D Level Promotion Event”? To initiate this mission, you must submit one Gold Mission Voucher + 1000 Bonfire Points.]

‘Bless me with a normal mission!’

As Colin silently prayed, he directly chose confirm.

Immediately after, a new mission description popped up.

[Team · Trial Task — “Anomaly Beneath the Sea of Lightless” has been dispatched, please check the mission column for details.]

“Good! It’s not a red name!”

Colin’s heart settled, and without thinking, he directly confirmed acceptance and quickly opened the mission column:
