Hahaha…
All the villagers burst out laughing. They knew Zhang Bin had done it on purpose, deliberately tossing the man onto the car's roof.
"What a Big Bad Egg, damaging someone else's car. If he makes you pay for it, I'd like to see what you do then."
Xiao Fang saw it through the window and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Son, are you alright?" Mother Teng rushed over in a panic, shaking him as she spoke.
"I'm fine." Teng Xiaofeng came to his senses and climbed down from the car. He stared at Zhang Bin with a sinister expression. "Country bumpkin, you're a pretty good fighter. I'll pay you one hundred thousand a month to be my bodyguard. What do you say?"
Teng Xiaofeng was rather cunning. Otherwise, his family would have never amassed so much wealth. Seeing that he was no match for Zhang Bin, he immediately changed tactics and tried to lure him with money.
He had just heard from Mother Cheng that Zhang Bin's family was very poor, so he was one hundred percent certain he could tempt him. After all, it's one hundred thousand a month! A country bumpkin like him has probably never seen so much money in his entire life, right? He'll jump at the chance to accept!
And if Zhang Bin agrees to be my bodyguard, what choice will Xiao Fang have? It's a no-brainer!
The villagers were all shocked and cried out in amazement.
"My god, one hundred thousand a month! Xiao Bin has struck it rich!"
"This young man is seriously wealthy. He must be a tycoon, no wonder he drives a Mercedes."
"Xiao Fang isn't just a great beauty, she's also incredibly lucky..."
It wasn't just them; even Mother Zhang was a little tempted. Their family was desperate for money, and they still hadn't figured out how to repay the 20,000 yuan they owed Zhang Bin's aunt.
Everyone's envious gazes fell upon Zhang Bin.
A mocking expression appeared on Mother Teng's face. My son is so brilliant, she admired silently. He can twist any situation to his advantage.
"Buddy, a piece of trash like you isn't even fit to carry my shoes. Scram, and don't let me see you again. Otherwise, I'll beat you every single time," Zhang Bin said, his face turning ice-cold. He wasn't a fool; he could clearly see the man's malicious intentions.
"What? Xiao Bin refused? And he insulted him so badly?" All the villagers looked on in shock, unable to believe their ears.
That's my man! Xiao Fang cheered silently.
"I'm not fit to carry *your* shoes?" A mocking sneer appeared on Teng Xiaofeng's face. "Your family is dirt poor and you don't have a penny to your name. My family is worth hundreds of millions. I gave you a chance to get rich and you didn't take it. You deserve to be a pauper for the rest of your life."
"You're not as tall as me, not as handsome as me, and you can't beat me in a fight. Making money? You're no match for me there, either. In a few years, you'll see that *you're* not even fit to carry *my* shoes," Zhang Bin said. "Now, you can scram."
"Fine, fine, fine! I'll be waiting! Let's see what you amount to in a few years!" Teng Xiaofeng was so furious he could have spit blood. He'd lost too much face to stay any longer. He pulled his mother into the car and sped off down the road.
Mother Teng stuck her head out of the window and yelled contemptuously, "A woman would have to be blind to choose you!"
"Old hag! Do you know why your son is so old and still can't find a wife? Because women aren't blind!" Zhang Bin retorted.
"You...!" Mother Teng was so enraged she almost spat blood.
Teng Xiaofeng was so furious he nearly drove the car into a ditch.
"Hahaha!" The villagers were doubled over, roaring with laughter.
Mother Cheng stared at Zhang Bin, her expression gloomy. That little rascal sure has a sharp tongue, she thought. He's the one who ruined Xiao Fang's perfect marriage prospects.
"Xiao Bin, that was well done! You're definitely going to make it big one day. I always knew you were no ordinary person," an old man with a completely white beard said, patting Zhang Bin on the shoulder.
"That's right. Zhang Bin only started showing his true abilities after taking that old Daoist as his master. He's bound to be successful in the future. Madam Village Chief, why don't you just agree to let Xiao Bin and Xiao Fang be together?" Widow Liu Xingjiao said with a charming smile.
"If you like him so much, you can marry Xiao Bin yourself," Mother Cheng said, her face devoid of expression.
"I'd love to, but Xiao Bin doesn't have eyes for me," Liu Xin replied, giving Zhang Bin a resentful look, as if to say, *You philanderer, you peeked at me while I was bathing and confessed your feelings, yet now you're chasing after Xiao Fang!*
Completely embarrassed, Zhang Bin beat a hasty retreat.
Just then, he received a call from Gao Si. Gao Si told him he had sent over numerous medical books, Pill Recipes, and detailed information about the "Qingmu Longevity Technique." Everything was saved on his phone, and Gao Si explained how to access it all for study.
Zhang Bin was both shocked and overjoyed. He fiddled with his phone for a moment, and a list of titles appeared on the screen: "Qingmu Longevity Technique," "Compendium of Medicinal Materials," "Complete Collection of Pill Recipes," "Foundation of Alchemy," and "Fundamental Elements of Longevity Qi Treatment." It was a truly dazzling collection.
With a look of delight, he began to study them. To make real money, I have to rely on this information from another planet, Zhang Bin thought, knowing this with perfect clarity.
Even though he had taken a Wisdom Pill and now possessed a photographic memory, the sheer volume of information was overwhelming. It was as vast as a sea, easily a hundred times the length of *Journey to the West*. There was no way he could study it all in a short period.
He did indeed see many miraculous medicinal formulas and Pill Recipes that could cure many of Earth's currently incurable diseases. However, some of the required ingredients didn't exist on Earth, rendering most of the formulas incomplete. If he wanted to concoct these special medicines, he would need to find substitute ingredients.
However, finding substitutes would not be easy. It would require careful study and experimentation.
"Huh?" Zhang Bin suddenly exclaimed, his face breaking into a look of pure ecstasy. He had found a miraculous, usable formula, and he had seen its ingredients deep in the mountains!
It was a special medicinal solution for treating myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and other eye conditions. It was called Bright Eye Liquid. Just two drops in each eye, followed by half an hour of rest, and a person's vision would be completely restored. Even people with perfect vision could use it to enhance their eyesight.
I'm going to be rich! I'm definitely going to be rich! Zhang Bin cried out ecstatically in his mind.
He knew that the Bright Eye Liquid would make him an absolute fortune. These days, hardly anyone had perfect eyesight. Even elementary school children wore glasses for myopia, a condition that was often hereditary.
And how many elderly people didn't suffer from presbyopia or hyperopia?
Wearing glasses is so inconvenient.
With Earth's current medical technology, there was no good solution for these vision problems. Even the most advanced laser treatments came with significant drawbacks, with a high risk of damaging the eyes. It wasn't even impossible for them to cause blindness.
So, once I create this miraculous potion, it will take the world by storm, and the money will come rolling in!
But where in the mountains did I see that Mingqing Tree? he wondered. "Never mind, I'll go look for it now." Zhang Bin leaped to his feet, grabbed his phone, and headed straight for the mountains, his face a mask of eager anticipation.
