Chapter 330 - 330 324 Walking on the Ground


330: Chapter 324 Walking on the Ground 330: Chapter 324 Walking on the Ground In the following period, Chen Hai’s days once again settled into tranquility.


Future Information Consulting Co., Ltd., on the other hand, had taken on a few more deals.


These deals were all referrals, brought in through word of mouth.


Compared to the ordinary customers who came in after receiving flyers, these referred clients, having heard of Chen Hai’s abilities, were quite generous with payments, rarely haggling over the price.


In addition to earning several hundred thousand in cash, he also acquired two storefront properties from a lady with the same surname—Chen—related to him by clan.


That lady had consulted him for relationship advice.


After performing a divination for her, Chen Hai wrote down the two characters for ‘Monk Tang’ on a piece of paper and handed them to her.


Just a little over a week later, that lady, guided by the two characters given by Chen Hai, seemed to have found the man of her dreams.


Feeling very pleased, she once again visited Future Information Company’s office, and with a grand gesture, directly gifted Chen Hai the two storefronts.


Having such a company operating there was indeed a good financial avenue for Chen Hai.


In a matter of about ten days, he earned several hundred thousand plus two storefronts without spending much time—just a few trips to the company was all it took.


Black Stone Fisheries, established on the basis of Black Stone Reservoir, had been duly set up by Wei Zhidong.


The forty-nine percent of the shares were already delivered to Chen Hai, along with all related documents and procedures.


However, for the time being, it was certain not to make much money.


After all, during the previous period, the monster had wreaked such havoc in the reservoir that most of the larger fish had disappeared, leaving only the small fish and shrimp surviving within.


Once it was confirmed that the reservoir was safe and sound, Wei Zhidong purchased and released new fry into the water right away.


Nonetheless, it would definitely take some time for these young fish to grow.


In Liuhua Alley, the daily squeals of pigs were starting to become an annoyance to the neighbors.


Apart from the Siheyuan in Liuhua Alley, all that was left for Chen Hai was the large courtyard on West Mountain.


The residents in that area, although not as densely packed as Liuhua Alley, were all either wealthy or noble.


Taking the Hongming Blade there to devour the big fat pigs was even less appropriate.


In the past, Chen Hai was strapped for cash, but after earning a good sum through Future Information Consulting Company, he promptly put buying a pig farm or a slaughterhouse on his agenda.


However, he didn’t take care of this himself, instead delegating it to Tian Mingjian and the recently discharged Bai Xiaohang.


Inside the living room at Liuhua Alley,


Chen Hai’s palms, emanating strands of Thunder Light, slowly retracted from above Uncle Ban’s legs.


Looking at Uncle Ban, whose forehead was dripping with sweat yet he bore the pain without a whimper,


Chen Hai nodded lightly, smiling gently, and said, “Uncle Ban, today is the final treatment I’m giving you.”


“After resting for a bit, you can try, see if you can walk on the ground!”


“Yep!” Hearing Chen Hai say this, Uncle Ban nodded excitedly, his face alight with anticipation.


Just having finished the treatment, his legs were in quite a bit of pain and could definitely use some rest.


For most people, experiencing such leg pain would cause great anxiety, fearing they might have some serious illness.


But for Uncle Ban, who had no feeling in his legs for decades, the sensation of leg pain was an incredibly good sign.


It meant that his legs were still fully his own.


“The power of the thunderbolt creates new life within destruction.”


“The yin qi and dampness had severely eroded your legs, and the veins within were essentially necrotic.”


“Using Thunder Skill, I destroyed the dead veins within your legs, allowing new life to flourish once again.”


“At this stage, it’s inevitable that you feel severe pain in your legs.”


“The new veins are still fragile, and you might feel awkward and somewhat unaccustomed when you first try walking—that’s all normal!”


“After some time, once your legs adapt, you will find the situation much improved!”



Uncle Ban, drenched in cold sweat from pain, presented a sight that made Chen Hai smile and explain.


Ye Qingqing had been coming over less frequently during this time.


Perhaps the sight of the Fierce Blade devouring pigs had made her uncomfortable.


The thought that the blade might eat people, and that Chen Hai always carried it with him, brought a sense of gloom to the bottom of her heart.


In these past days, she had only stayed overnight at Chen Hai’s place twice, and each time she got startled awake in the middle of the night.


As for this, Chen Hai didn’t know how best to comfort her!


Although he was unaware of it, the satellite rocket launched by the USA had been directly destroyed by a strike from the Hongming Blade.


But the thought that this blade was born from the same furnace as the legendary Xuanyuan Sword meant that no matter how defiant the blade was, he would never be willing to simply discard it.


If Ye Qingqing were here at this moment and saw how much Uncle Ban was suffering, she would definitely have massaged him and offered some comforting words.


Such a task, if undertaken by Chen Hai, would undoubtedly be inappropriate.


All he could do was casually chat to help Uncle Ban distract himself from the pain.


It wasn’t until nearly an hour had passed that the severe pain in Uncle Ban’s legs began to ease somewhat.


“Uncle Ban, you should be feeling a bit better now.


Come, let me help you take a few steps!”


Chen Hai, who had been closely watching Uncle Ban, saw his complexion relax somewhat and smiled as he stood up.


Cautiously, he helped Uncle Ban up from the sofa.


One step, two steps, three steps…


Initially, when he first set his feet on the ground, Uncle Ban’s legs seemed somewhat disobedient.


Chen Hai, who was supporting him, felt it was extremely challenging.


It was only after they had walked more than a dozen steps that Uncle Ban’s gait began to smooth out.


“I can walk?


Can I really walk?


Chen Hai, thank you…”


Although it was with Chen Hai’s full support that Uncle Ban managed to take those steps, he was still so excited that he could hardly contain himself.


Murmuring to himself, tears uncontrollably welled up in his eyes.


For most people, walking is an innate ability.


But for someone like Uncle Ban, who had been sitting in a wheelchair for twenty or thirty years, walking normally on the ground was nothing short of a pipe dream.


Especially after undergoing countless treatments and seeing hope shattered into despair time and time again.


The overwhelming excitement in his heart at finally being able to walk was beyond description.


“Zhang, Li, go get my walking cane!”


Under Chen Hai’s support, Uncle Ban walked from the living room to the courtyard outside, his face full of excitement as if he had rediscovered a sensation.


He shouted energetically towards the two anxious black-clad bodyguards nearby, who were fearful he might suddenly fall.


“Understood, Chief, just a moment!” The two black-clad bodyguards exchanged looks.


After respectfully saluting Uncle Ban and responding, one stayed while the other ran towards the car parked not far from the courtyard.


Ever since hearing from Chen Hai that after three cycles of seven-twenty-one days of treatment, it was very likely he could stand and walk, Uncle Ban had prepared the walking cane, keeping it in the car so he could use it anytime.


In less than a minute, the bodyguard known as Zhang, holding a pair of simply designed canes, had rushed back to Uncle Ban’s side.


“Chen Hai, you don’t need to keep supporting me.


I’ll try walking a few steps with my canes.”


Taking the canes from Zhang, Uncle Ban tucked them under his armpits.


With a look of profound gratitude, he gave Chen Hai several warm glances, laughed lightly, and spoke.


“Alright!


Uncle Ban, please be careful,” Chen Hai nodded and replied.


No one knew the condition of Uncle Ban’s legs better than Chen Hai.


In his view, it might be difficult for Uncle Ban to walk as effortlessly as an ordinary person after his treatment with the Little Five Thunder Skill.


However, if he were merely walking slowly with the support of canes, there should be no problem at all.


As Chen Hai slowly let go of Uncle Ban’s supporting arm, the two personal bodyguards, Zhang and Li, were even more on edge than the two people involved.


They stood on either side of Uncle Ban at a close distance, with heightened alertness, ready to react immediately if anything unexpected happened.


But the situation was clearly improving, and without Chen Hai’s help, Uncle Ban was still standing steady with the aid of the canes.


After taking a few deep breaths, he used the canes under his armpits to tentatively step forward, step by step.


After moving about twenty or thirty steps, Uncle Ban, full of energy, even threw away one of the canes and continued to try moving forward slowly with just one.


Compared to before, Uncle Ban’s steps might have seemed more faltering and slower, but at least he did not fall.


It was only after he had walked more than a full circle around the courtyard that he felt tired and let Zhang and Li help him back into the wheelchair.


“Chen Hai, thank you…” Uncle Ban expressed his thanks to Chen Hai with profound seriousness.


“You’re an elder, and since I have the ability and can help you walk, it’s simply what I should do!” Chen Hai replied politely, smiling and nodding.


The first time he met Uncle Ban, he only knew that he was Ye Qingqing’s relative but was not aware of Uncle Ban’s true identity.


But after such a long time, how could he not be clear about Uncle Ban’s background!


Maintaining a good relationship with Uncle Ban, whether needed or not, was essential for Chen Hai!
