Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 67 Zhou Zixiu’s Investigation Results
Xiao Pang wasn't a melodramatic person, and with the opportunity to change his fate right in front of his eyes, he only did one thing—he called home.
Soon, a speeding car pulled up beside them on the roadside.
The driver's side door opened, and a middle-aged man with a strong resemblance to Xiao Pang hurried towards them. He looked at Qin Chuan, "You must be Qin Chuan? Xiaoxian often talks about you with his mom and me."
"Hello, Uncle Li," Qin Chuan politely nodded his head.
Li Father, named Li Youde, scanned the surroundings then took out a briefcase.
"I've heard about it from Xiaoxian," Li Youde opened the briefcase to reveal bundles of cash that were particularly striking. "Here is two hundred thousand."
"Um..." Qin Chuan blinked, "Uncle, did you hear wrong? I told Li Xian it was one hundred thousand."
"I know," Li Youde nodded, then firmly said, "You and Xiaoxian are friends, and friends don't just take advantage of each other."
"I've already heard about the Earth Attribute Experience Fruit incident from Xiaoxian."
"If you still consider my foolish son a friend, please accept this money." Li Youde spoke earnestly, his face breaking into a smile, "Our family has modest means, and this is all we can afford. I know it's not enough; the remaining amount Xiaoxian will repay himself when he makes it."
"Dad…" Xiao Pang's eyes instantly moistened, and he muttered while clenching his teeth, "Don't worry, I will definitely make something of myself!"
"Uncle Li…" Hearing Li Youde's words, Qin Chuan felt somewhat choked up, and after a moment of silence, he closed and lifted the briefcase. "Alright, I'll accept this money."
"Deposit it in a bank." Li Youde smiled and patted Qin Chuan's shoulder, "Even though Transcendents are powerful, for money, it's still best to keep it in a bank for peace of mind."
"It's almost lunchtime. I had your aunt cook quite a few of her specialties. She's primarily responsible for fattening the two of us up. How about we have a meal together after you deposit the money?"
Qin Chuan looked at Xiao Pang who was wiping his tears and making faces, and a radiant smile appeared on his face.
"That sounds good."
As Li Youde had mentioned, Xiao Pang's mother was indeed a superb cook.
So much so, that Qin Chuan ate an extra bowl of rice compared to usual.
When Qin Chuan was leaving, Li Youde, who was drinking alone at the table, slightly drunk, patted Xiao Pang's shoulder.
"This friend of yours is no ordinary person, cherish this friendship."
Xiao Pang fell silent for a moment, then nodded vigorously, biting his teeth, "Yes!"

"How did the practical assessment at Changxing City Secondary School go?"
In the office of the Special Affairs Group, Zhou Zixiu, holding a cup of water, glanced at a woman who looked like a clerk, "There weren't any casualties or accidents, right?"
"No casualties," the woman paused briefly, "but there was an unexpected incident."
"Um?" Zhou Zixiu put down his water cup and quickly walked behind the woman, looking at the screen in front of her, "What happened?"
"During a mission by the tenth group of the senior year, a Demon Beast advanced."
Zhou Zixiu's expression instantly turned solemn, "The tenth group... the safety officer is Tang Qiuyi, that kid, right? He has just advanced; can he handle an Advanced Demon Beast?"
Demon Beasts differ from Spiritual Beasts; they don't possess Transcendent powers but rely solely on their abnormal physical strength to fight against Transcendents.
This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
Advanced Demon Beasts possess very high defense and not insignificant resistance against Transcendent abilities.
Newly Advanced Transcendents were not necessarily a match for it.
"In fact... Tang Qiuyi didn't get a chance to make a move." The woman's expression was slightly strange, "You should see for yourself."
Saying so, she brought up the footage captured by the cameras.
Watching the video of Qin Chuan fighting alone against the Demon Rat King and reducing it to a skeleton in just a few seconds, Zhou Zixiu's eyes widened and he sharply inhaled a breath of cold air.
"Qin Chuan broke through?!"
"Mhm." The woman nodded, "This student named Qin Chuan was the first to spot the Demon Rat King hidden among the rat pack, he forced it out and fought it, eventually managing to kill it. The jury believes him..."
The woman hadn't finished her sentence when she turned around only to find that Zhou Zixiu, who had been there moments ago, had disappeared without a trace.
"This guy, always popping up and vanishing unexpectedly."
A few minutes later, outside the office door of Lan Cheng, the head of the Special Affairs Group in Changxing City, there came a series of urgent knocks.
Without waiting for Lan Cheng inside to say "come in," a figure had already pushed open the door and walked in.
Seeing the familiar figure in front of him, Lan Cheng, holding a cup of tea, twitched his lips slightly, "You never visit without reason; what is it this time?"
"Chief." Zhou Zixiu sat down in front of Lan Cheng and looked at him calmly, "I remember our Special Affairs Group's cooperation agreement still has places available, right?"
"Yes." Lan Cheng looked at Zhou Zixiu and slowly set down his teacup, "But most of the spots are already targeted, just not finalized yet."
"Remove one, I want to sign someone." Zhou Zixiu's tone was as calm as if he was ordering in a restaurant, telling the waiter to take away a dish and replace it with another.
Hearing this, Lan Cheng couldn't help but laugh, "How about I give you the position of head of the Special Affairs Group, and whatever you say goes?"
Zhou Zixiu ignored Lan Cheng's sarcastic tone and pulled out a file, pushing it across to Lan Cheng.
As Lan Cheng opened and flipped through it, Zhou Zixiu spoke up.
"Qin Chuan, male, 18 years old, parents died in a car accident at 14 where both parties were at fault, leading to a court-ordered compensation of 50,000 yuan from the other family."
"Without any other relatives in Changxing City, Qin Chuan has been living alone with the compensation money, currently attending his senior year at Changxing City's Second High School."
"Seventeen days ago, Qin Chuan assisted the Special Affairs Group in the critical moment of apprehending the fugitive Zhang Zhe, acting bravely and justly."
Hearing this, Lan Cheng looked up at Zhou Zixiu.
If he remembered correctly, he had indeed instructed Zhou Zixiu to investigate the situation without disturbing the other party, and now it seemed Zhou Zixiu had acquired the information about him.
Looking back at the file in his hands, he wondered what else Zhou Zixiu intended to say.
"On the day of the Blue Star version 2.2 update during a physical examination, it was confirmed that Qin Chuan's Contracted Spiritual Beast Rank was Juvenile Stage Lv10."
Zhou Zixiu paused briefly, glanced at Lan Cheng, and then delivered the decisive information.
"In today's practical exam, Qin Chuan demonstrated the strength of an Official Level Player by killing an Advanced Demon Beast within one minute."
Lan Cheng's pupils contracted, surprised, "Today? Official Level?"
He fully understood what that implied.
To date, the Ranking List had only been updated weekly once, and to become an Official Level Player, advancing a Spiritual Beast required three Low-level Resources.
This meant that Qin Chuan was likely one of the top ten players on the Spiritual Beast List in the gaming district, and his ranking on the Achievement Leaderboard was also high!
Only such a player could possibly gather the necessary resources for advancement through ranking rewards and exchanges at the Achievement Store in one weekly update.
