The Bootlicking Antagonist Wants to Survive,but Female Lead refuse to-Chapter 372: The four doors are now a level that can be pretended

Chapter 372 - 372: The four doors are now a level that can be pretended

Chapter 372: The four doors are now a level that can be pretended

Xu Xuejiao insisted on taking Hua Xuening for a check-up, but Lu Chengwen couldn't be bothered to intervene.

However, it was about time to strengthen his security team a little.

Damn, four invitations to the Upper Four Gates, given out all at once! Wahahaha!

Those four idiots would never have dreamed that he would get such a great opportunity, right?

Rooftop.

In front of a long table, the Four Great Lumps were gathered together, boasting.

Iron Lump King: "A few days ago, I went on an errand with President Xu. I just flattered him a little, and look! He bought me this— a watch worth over a hundred thousand! Shiny, isn't it?"

Bronze Lump King: "That's nothing! A few days ago, Sister Mengyun came by, and I kept calling her 'sister-in-law' with the utmost enthusiasm. She got so happy that she gave me a card! Hahaha! From now on, I can strut around any Xiangyun hotel like I own the place!"

Silver Lump King held a cup of coffee and glanced at an English newspaper with disdain: "New money acting rich."

Bronze Lump King wasn't happy: "What did you just say!?"

Silver Lump King: "At our level, showing off watches and VIP cards doesn't really mean much. What's the most important thing? Taste! Social circles! Connections! I met Erlong the other day— that kid's got potential. Once the golf course opens, I'll take you guys there."

Bronze Lump King: "What's so fun about that? I don't like golf."

Silver Lump King: "I do!" Then he added, "I just enjoy the feeling of showing off! You think I actually understand what's written in this English newspaper?"

Gold Lump King burst out laughing: "I can see it now— all of you have unique talents. Next week's car club meeting is gonna be a pain in the ass. Those Porsche-driving pricks all think they're high and mighty, and they keep dragging me into their high-end business gatherings. It's annoying as hell..."

The group was having a great time boasting and laughing together, except for the Strategist, who stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing into the distance from the rooftop.

Gold Lump King asked, "Strategist, why aren't you bragging? Come join us!"

The Strategist turned around with a smile: "You lot only know how to spend money, enjoy life, and boast... You should really take some time to hone your skills. I have a feeling that President Lu's empire will expand massively in the future. We still have room to grow."

Iron Lump King didn't understand: "It's not big enough already? Dasheng Group owns over a hundred companies, and we handle all of Chengwen District's projects! There's no one busier than us in Snow City."

The Strategist replied, "That's why I say you're all short-sighted. Let me show you something! Hah!"

The four of them were stunned!

Gold Lump King: "You... Strategist, you... you broke through to the Upper Four Gates!?"

The Strategist smiled: "That's right. I made it."

Now, the other four were all envious.

Money? Well, they all had plenty.

They might not be making millions every day, but they were definitely among society's elite.

Driving luxury cars, living in mansions, wearing designer clothes, sporting expensive watches...

But at the end of the day, they were still martial artists, and the pursuit of martial strength was in their very bones.

No matter how expensive a suit was, it wasn't as dazzling as true skill.

The four of them were practically drooling.

They all started asking for guidance on how to level up.

The Strategist began to put on airs:

"Don't talk to me about how expensive your watch is or how rare your gold card is. Martial arts— two words, one horizontal, one vertical. If you lose, you fall."

"For this breakthrough to the Upper Four Gates, I must say, the hardship I endured far exceeded anything you could imagine."

"As you all know, reaching the Upper Four Gates requires not just a strong foundation in martial arts, a spirit of diligence, and unwavering perseverance— it also requires..."

He tapped his temple: "Talent and intelligence."

"And wouldn't you know it? I just happen to possess both."

The others all knew he was showing off, but they had no choice— he had the qualifications to do so now.

One after another, they came up to congratulate him, their envy obvious.

At that moment, Lu Chengwen walked in: "The chef today is pretty good. We're having a feast later. While they're busy in the kitchen, let's have a meeting first."

Lu Chengwen looked at the Strategist, who was still standing there, pretending to be all profound and ethereal: "Why are you standing over there? Sit down and join the meeting!"

"Oh, yes." The Strategist quickly walked over, but instead of sitting, he cupped his fists, bowed, and said:

"President Lu, I have something to report."

"Speak."

"Under your wise leadership, under your brilliant command, with your strong support, and your high level of attention—"

"Cut the crap and get to the point!"

"Yes!" The Strategist continued: "By sheer luck, by pure coincidence, by an accidental stroke of fortune, by complete and utter happenstance..."

Lu Chengwen was barely holding back his patience.

The Strategist grinned at him and said, "I have successfully broken through to the Upper Four Gates!"

The Strategist expected Lu Chengwen to be excited, but Lu Chengwen just looked at him and said, "That's it?"

"Uh... yeah."

The Strategist let out an awkward chuckle: "President Lu, what I mean is— from now on, I am officially an Upper Four Gates expert!"

Lu Chengwen nodded: "Well done. Now, all of you, pay attention! Look at the Strategist— he's the perfect example of staying true to his original aspirations and working hard. A true role model! Everyone, give him a round of applause!"

Everyone clapped together.

Iron Lump King(tie tu wang) lowered his head and started crying uncontrollably.

Lu Chengwen knocked on the table: "Why the hell are you crying in a meeting?"

Iron Lump King(Tie tuo wang), still sobbing, said: "I've been training for so many years, but my talent is just too limited... I know my own limits. I'll probably never reach the threshold of the Upper Four Gates in this lifetime. Seeing the Strategist reach such heights— on one hand, I'm happy for him, but on the other... I feel like my future is bleak, and the sorrow just overwhelmed me."

"Hey, you..."

Lu Chengwen hadn't even finished speaking when Tongtuo Wang also started crying.

"I feel the same way!" Tongtuo Wang struggled to hold back his tears. "Even if I drive luxury cars and wear designer brands, just thinking about how my martial arts realm will forever remain at the level of Middle Four Gates still makes me sad... The strategist is truly amazing, able to break through to Upper Four Gates on his own! Wuwuwu..."

Lu Chengwen looked irritably at Yintuo Wang and Jintuo Wang. "You two aren't crying?"

Yintuo Wang cupped his fists and said, "President Lu! I think if you give me three more years, no, two and a half years, I should also be able to break through to Upper Four Gates!"

Jintuo Wang said, "I'd probably need about two years, sigh."

Lu Chengwen nodded. "I see. The strategist successfully broke through to Upper Four Gates, making you all feel a bit envious and also a bit disheartened. Is that right?"

No one spoke. Only the strategist looked very pleased with himself.

Lu Chengwen said, "I was just about to talk to you about this. I thought about it, and you all have followed me for quite some time and have been very loyal, so I've decided to reward you."

The group wasn't too excited.

A reward? At most, it would be a car, or some money.

Maybe a small promotion?

Their memories as martial artists had already been restored, so their excitement for money and a luxurious life had faded...

Now, thinking about how they, as ancient martial artists, were doomed to remain at this level for life made them deeply sad.

Lu Chengwen said, "I've decided to promote you all to Upper Four Gates and make all four of you masters of that realm."

The group looked at Lu Chengwen, glancing at each other.

Did he think he was appointing a Chief Financial Officer or a Front Hall Manager? Did he think Upper Four Gates was something he could just hand out?

This was a martial arts rank, President Lu!

Such things required a solid foundation, talent, fortuitous encounters, and effort. Money couldn't help; this was something that couldn't be solved with wealth!

Lu Chengwen smiled. "Alright, Jintuo Wang, let's start with you!"

Jintuo Wang forced a smile. "Thank you, President Lu! Ah, I think I'm really improving! I think I've reached Upper Four Gates! Ah, I'm so amazing, and President Lu is so powerful..."

Lu Chengwen was displeased. "Are you joking with me?"

Jintuo Wang looked miserable. "President Lu, this kind of thing... It's not something that can just be given because you say so. We still have to—sigh, please don't rush me, just give me two years. Just two years, I promise..."

Lu Chengwen said, "Shut up!"

He pulled up the system interface and took out an Upper Four Gates Invitation Letter.

Internally, he was crying: If only I could use this thing too.

He flicked it toward Jintuo Wang.

Jintuo Wang suddenly felt a surge of immense power rushing into his body.

His limbs and meridians transformed in an instant. His breathing grew rapid, his dantian surged, and his heart was filled with indescribable shock!

Moments later, Jintuo Wang stared at his own hands in astonishment, then looked up at Lu Chengwen in disbelief.

"President Lu... I... I..."

Lu Chengwen smiled. "What's wrong?"

Jintuo Wang felt as if Lu Chengwen were a deity!

What else could he be if not a god!? Even those at the peak of martial arts, even the Five Elders, needed a process to help a martial artist break through to Upper Four Gates, right? ƒгeewёbnovel.com

They'd need to expend some true qi and use unique techniques, wouldn't they!?

But President Lu could do it with just a wave of his hand!?

Everyone was curious, staring intently. Even Jiang Xiaohou, in the corner, tilted his head to watch.

Jintuo Wang was so overwhelmed with emotion that he didn't know what to say. "I... I've become a master of Upper Four Gates!"

Yin, Tong, and Tie looked at each other, thinking Jintuo Wang had lost his mind.

Until Jintuo Wang tensed his muscles and released his true qi perception—hummm—!

A wave of pure Upper Four Gates true qi swept across the room, flipping the documents on the table and making everyone's hair flutter.

The room exploded in shock!

The other three immediately jumped to their feet!

That was Upper Four Gates true qi!

Real, genuine Upper Four Gates true qi!

What the hell!? Was President Lu a deity!?

When they looked at Lu Chengwen again, it was as if they were looking at God.

Lu Chengwen picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee. "How is it? Getting used to it?"

Jintuo Wang was so moved that he started crying and immediately knelt on one knee. "This subordinate thanks President Lu for this rebirth! President Lu's divine power is beyond comprehension! It contains the mysteries of the universe and seizes the fortune of heaven and earth! This subordinate has never seen someone as deeply hidden yet so capable of controlling the cosmos as President Lu... No! President Lu, you are a god! You truly are a god! Please accept the worship of this humble mortal, Jintuo Wang!"

Lu Chengwen chuckled. "No need for all the fuss. Keep your voice down, or the foreigners next door might think we can't afford to promote someone to Upper Four Gates."

The other three dropped to their knees with a loud thud, swearing eternal loyalty and begging Lu Chengwen to "cast his spell" on them as well so they could also become masters of Upper Four Gates.

Jiang Xiaohou, in the corner, was completely stunned.

This was possible!?

This was real!?
