Online Game: You Call Him A Newbie?

Outside Luohe City, two travel-worn men arrived at the city gate and excitedly prepared to enter.

They were Chen Jinyang and Chen Jinwu!

After coming to the level one world for a year, Chen Jinyang had reached the Diamond level, and so had Chen Jinwu, who was now at the Dark Gold level.

Chen Jinyang looked at the tall city walls of Luohe City, still maintaining his elegance despite being a bit disheveled from the journey. He said, "Brother, we're here. Let's join the Hong family, learn formation techniques, and strengthen ourselves. I believe we'll only get stronger from here."

Chen Jinwu was somewhat speechless. "Little brother, do you really have to join someone else? Give me some time, and I promise I can make enough money. When the time comes, whatever you want, I'll buy it for you."

Chen Jinyang shook his head and said, "Brother, you still don't understand. Some things can't be bought, and some treasures from nature are hard to put a price on. How long will it take for you to earn enough for those things?"

"You don't get it," Chen Jinwu said, "This world may have an economic system, but the financial industry isn't well developed. Think about it, if I were in charge of the entire financial company here, wouldn't making money be a breeze?"

Hearing this, Chen Jinyang chuckled and said, "Brother, do you forget what happened when you dabbled in stocks here before? People almost considered you a scammer. Luckily, we ran away in time; otherwise, we would have been beaten to death."

Chen Jinwu excitedly exclaimed, "They just didn't understand finance. Give me some time, and I can definitely make it work."

"Come on, Brother, don't you understand? Without strength, even if we get the money, we won't be able to protect it. Let's strengthen ourselves first." Chen Jinyang shook his head and sighed.

Chen Jinwu sighed and didn't argue further.

Indeed, without strength, even if he earned money, he would still be working for others.

He remembered how he had been full of enthusiasm when he first arrived in this world, having learned about its economic system.

Initially, he did make money, only to have the powerful figure supporting them turn their back on them, leaving them with nothing. Fortunately, they hadn't acted recklessly at the time, or they might not have escaped.

Later, Chen Jinwu had tried his hand at stocks and the financial system, only to be labeled a scammer and nearly beaten to death.

Fortunately, he had become much stronger during that time, or they wouldn't have escaped.

Thinking about these experiences, Chen Jinwu couldn't help but feel bitter.

"All right, little brother, you make a valid point. Join the Hong family, learn well, and I'll figure out how to make some money. When you've become powerful, the two of us can build a business empire together. We can definitely do it!" Chen Jinwu patted Chen Jinyang on the shoulder.

Chen Jinyang frowned and said, "Brother, aren't you joining the Hong family?"

Chen Jinwu shook his head. "No, I won't. I have no interest in leveling up. Reaching the Dark Gold level is good enough for me. I prefer making money."

Chen Jinyang sighed. "Alright, Brother. Let's enter the city first."

The two then headed towards the city gate. When they had to disclose their identities, it attracted some attention.

But they were used to it. The local people seemed to be welcoming toward outsiders like them, but there was still a hint of condescension, as if they were looking at their grandchildren. Even though they knew the two were from a previous era, Chen Jinwu couldn't help but feel resentful.

It was as if their experience was like grandsons looking at their grandfather.

Although he knew that the other party was from the previous era, Chen Jinwu was still a little unconvinced. "Tsk, you're looking down on us. You're a group of country bumpkins and even look down on us. Have you seen a sports car before? Have you drunk champagne? I'm afraid you don't even know what Coke is."

Chen Jinyang patted his shoulder. "Forget it, brother. Are you not used to it yet? Even if you tell them these things, they won't understand."

Chen Jinwu sighed, "All right. Now that we're in the city, where do we go?"

"Let's find a place to stay first and then go check out the disciple assessment," Chen Jinyang suggested.

Chen Jinwu suddenly asked, "By the way, little brother, do you have any money left?"

Chen Jinyang turned around in surprise. "Isn't the money with you?"

Chen Jinwu smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, when I was in the stock market previously, I used all the money to make basic trading. Then, it was all snatched away."

Chen Jinyang's eyes widened, and he almost passed out.

"Little brother, are you okay?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, how did you two end up like this?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded. The two brothers hurriedly looked over and saw a black cat walking over.

"Little Black!" Chen Jinyang's eyes lit up and he immediately pounced forward.

Little Black's cat fur immediately stood up. It suddenly remembered that it had been stroked by the other party back then and hurriedly kicked it.

Chen Jinyang pounced forward and immediately flew out.

"You're… at the epic level?" Chen Jinwu swallowed when he sensed Little Black's aura.

However, Little Black deliberately controlled its aura and did not attract the attention of the surrounding people. Those people were only somewhat puzzled when they saw Chen Jinyang suddenly fly out.

Little Black smiled proudly and said, "Yo, why is the young master like this?"

Chen Jinwu smiled awkwardly. Chen Jinyang hurriedly got up and said excitedly, "Little Black, why are you here? Could it be that Minister Lin is here?"

Little Black nodded. "That's right. Lin Feng asked me to pick you up. Follow me."

The two brothers looked at each other with incomparable excitement in their eyes. They had a big shot to guide them!

The two of them followed Little Black to an inn and saw Lin Feng in a guest room.

Lin Feng had long placed Fang Lan and the other woman elsewhere. Moreover, he was still using the Primordial Avatar as a cover, so he would not be discovered for the time being.

However, at this moment, when he saw the sorry state of Chen Jinyang and his brother, even he could not help but be stunned. "What's going on between the two of you?"

When Chen Jinyang saw Lin Feng, he almost cried. "Minister Lin, you're really here. That's great! I finally have someone to rely on. Minister Lin, please take me to new heights!"

Lin Feng did not know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Chen Jinwu again and Chen Jinwu smiled bitterly. "It's a long story about our situation…"

After hearing about their experiences, Lin Feng could not help but laugh.

"You're saying that you want to start a financial system in this world?"

Chen Jinwu nodded. "That's right. Although the basic economy of this world is alright, it's not very developed after all. If I'm the first person to eat crabs, I can completely open up a huge business empire and conquer this world with my economy!"

Lin Feng was stunned. He had really not thought of this. After all, he was not very good at finance. Although he had read a lot of books in Landry, they were all about the Great Dao. He really did not know much about this.

"You said that you can rely on economics to conquer this world, but what if the other party directly snatches you?"

Chen Jinwu sighed and said, "This is the contradiction. On the Blue Planet, because of the system established by the country, it's not a problem to deal with finance as long as we don't monopolize it. However, here, finance is not understood by others. Moreover, it might change the economic foundation of this world. This will shake the superstructure and will definitely attract the counterattack of those experts. Therefore, it's very troublesome."

Lin Feng could roughly understand a little. In any case, he was just doing it casually. Others would think that he was scamming money. Once he made it big, he would attract experts again.

However, what Chen Jinwu suggested about using economics to conquer the world did give Lin Feng a new perspective.

"How about this, I'll support you. You can start, but don't go too overboard at the beginning; I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it. First, make some money, and then we can plan step by step," Lin Feng suggested.

After all, after the fusion of the divine realm with reality, there would eventually be a battle for dominance across different eras. It might be a good idea to plant a seed now; it could yield surprising results later.

Chen Jinwu appreciated what he heard. He smiled and said, "Minister Lin, rest assured. I understand. Slow and steady wins the race. After experiencing several failures, I've already developed a comprehensive plan. Minister Lin, just wait and see."

Lin Feng also nodded with a smile. As for the repeated failures that Chen Jinwu mentioned, he pretended not to hear them.

Chen Jinyang, on the other hand, widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Minister, are you really letting him do this? This is Luohe City, and the Hong Family has divine-level experts!"

Lin Feng chuckled, "No worries. I can handle most god-tier experts. Just don't attract the attention of the deities; otherwise, we'll have to run."

Both brothers were astonished. This was a true master. He could even handle god-tier experts!

Chen Jinwu's eyes lit up at the thought of the promising future with Lin Feng's support.

With Lin Feng backing them, many of their ideas could be boldly attempted!

Lin Feng said, "You two should settle here for now. I also want to check out the Hong Family's disciple assessment. I'll head back first."

Chen Jinyang was surprised, "Minister, are you also joining the Hong Family?"

Lin Feng shook his head, "I'm not joining; I just want to borrow something from the Hong Family."

Naturally, what he wanted to borrow was the Hong Family's secret realm.

Chen Jinwu asked, "Minister, have you also learned formations? Are you confident about the assessment?"

Little Black smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Does Feng Lin know? That's this kid in disguise."

Chen Jinyang and his brother were stunned. Almost everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty and the Great Yan Dynasty had heard of Feng Lin's name. An avatar had defeated the Seventh Prince and many other divine level experts. Moreover, his attainments in array formations were extremely high.

They had always found the name suspicious—Feng Lin, which was just Lin Feng spelled backward.

But they never expected it to be the real Lin Feng!

However, according to the rumors, Lin Feng's formations could contend with god-tier experts. Going to the assessment in this disguise, weren't they bullying the younger generation?

Chen Jinwu didn't dwell on these thoughts; instead, his eyes lit up, and he said, "So, Minister is also participating incognito?"

Lin Feng nodded. "Of course."

Chen Jinwu chuckled, "With Minister's support, we might just have a chance to make our first fortune. Minister, do you have money now? Can you lend me some? I promise to return it to you tenfold, no, a hundredfold!"

Lin Feng was stunned. He had an idea just like that?

Lin Feng was momentarily surprised by this sudden request. However, since he had chosen to support Chen Jinwu, he didn't hesitate. Besides, money was no longer a concern for him.

He tossed a storage pouch to Chen Jinwu and said, "Take a look first. If it's not enough, I can get more."

These funds came from the equipment that Du Jinlong had sold during their previous expedition. He had only sold a third of it at the time, and Lin Feng hadn't bothered to count the exact amount.

Chen Jinwu glanced at the money in the storage pouch, and tears welled up in his eyes.

This sum of money was more than he had seen in the past year!

He excitedly exclaimed, "Minister, rest assured, I will make the best use of this money and guarantee returns tenfold or even a hundredfold!"

Lin Feng smiled and nodded, "No problem. Use it first, and if it's not enough, we can discuss more later."

Chen Jinwu nodded repeatedly, then eagerly explained his plan to Lin Feng.

After hearing it, Lin Feng couldn't help but be impressed by Chen Jinwu's talent for making money.

On the designated day, Lin Feng, along with Fang Lan and others, headed to the location of the Hong Family to participate in the disciples' assessment.

Meanwhile, the Chen brothers also made their preparations to set off.

Lin Feng left Du Jinlong and the others with Chen Jinwu, who would be overseeing their activities. Of course, Du Jinlong and his companions had altered their appearances slightly. After all, Fang Lan and the others still knew them.

When the two groups met at the square in front of the Hong Family's gate, they pretended not to recognize each other and went straight to the assessment.

Chen Jinwu, on the other hand, set up a stall with his two companions in front of the assessment area, with a sign that read 'Insurance'!
