I Can Share Others' Opportunities

Chapter 12: Chapter 11: Self-Help Guide, [Guiding Breathing Method]!

Did he satisfy the upgrade conditions for his Heaven-Stealing superpower because he bound Lou Yuchen, a future Martial Saint with immense potential? Or was it because his strength had advanced significantly, not only officially stepping into the Martial Dao but also breaking through to the peak of the Copper Skin realm in one fell swoop?

Liu Zimo pondered over these possibilities.

Regardless of the reason, the expansion of his superpower’s binding quota was a massive surprise to him.

Every extra binding slot meant he could leech off the fortuitous encounters and benefits of another ”good brother.”

If he could bind a few more Martial Saint ”brothers” like Lou Yuchen, wouldn’t he be able to walk unhindered in the Post-Apocalypse?

As soon as this thought surfaced, Liu Zimo’s heart began to pound uncontrollably.

With a month of time left, there was still time for everything!

In the Post-Apocalypse, the Federation’s three Martial Saints and ten Grandmasters were basically all from Great Xia. He could absolutely take advantage of the time before these people fully rose to power to bind them one by one, turning them all into his ”good brothers”!

”Mr. Liu? Mr. Liu?!”

Lou Yuchen looked rather strangely at the young man who had specifically asked to see him. Why had he suddenly spaced out for no reason?

”Oh!” Liu Zimo snapped back to reality. ”Manager Lou, I apologize. I suddenly thought of some business matters and got distracted.”

He found that only he and Lou Yuchen were left in the reception area. Group Leader Sun, who had just come over to poach him, had left at some unknown point.

Refocusing his gaze on Lou Yuchen, Liu Zimo cut straight to the chase. ”I came to see you this time, Manager Lou, to entrust you with purchasing a batch of premium ham. Jinhua ham would be best, but well, Spanish ham can make do.”

”No problem!” Lou Yuchen nodded immediately. ”Our company specializes in all kinds of food trade, which includes Jinhua ham. How much do you need, Mr. Liu, and do you have any specific requirements for the delivery time?”

”Twenty tons. Delivery within half a month. Is that a problem?”

Twenty tons?!

Hearing this, Lou Yuchen’s eyes lit up, and his breathing involuntarily grew slightly heavier.

Twenty tons of Jinhua ham was worth between eight and ten million.

A massive deal!

Even if he only got a three-percent commission, that would still be over two hundred thousand! This was absolutely the largest deal he had encountered since entering the industry.

At this moment, Lou Yuchen felt as if a windfall had just dropped from the sky right into his lap. He couldn’t believe it. It felt like a dream—so incredibly surreal.

It wasn’t until over ten minutes later, when Liu Zimo swiftly signed the contract with him and paid a two-million advance on the spot, that Lou Yuchen finally relaxed.

With the contract signed, Liu Zimo didn’t linger and immediately took his leave.

Afterward, he visited grain and oil stores, grocery stores, clothing boutiques, pharmacies, and many other places.

Over the course of the afternoon, he successively ordered a massive amount of rice, flour, oil, salt, candles, purified water, anti-inflammatory drugs, clothing, shoes, socks, and other daily necessities. This was to ensure that after the calamity struck, his family wouldn’t have to worry about food or clothing for three to five years.

He had people temporarily store all the supplies in a newly rented warehouse in the East Suburb, not far from the villa district. He would transfer these supplies over one by one once the villa’s underground storage was renovated.

After doing all this, Liu Zimo bought a wide-brimmed hat to conceal his face. He randomly found a nearby internet cafe and, claiming he forgot his ID card, paid the owner an extra fifty yuan to open a computer for him.

Then, he took out his flash drive and copied a pre-edited document titled ”November 11th, Doomsday is Coming, Self-Help Guide!” posting it across major portal websites.

The document’s content was a practical survival manual he had summarized based on his own survival experience in the Post-Apocalypse. It contained detailed introductions to the traits and weaknesses of some common Demon Beasts, as well as specific methods for ordinary people to evade, save themselves, and even fight back when encountering a Demon Beast attack.

At the end of the document, Liu Zimo also attached the most common Guiding Breathing Method of the future generations. This could help ordinary people who had never come into contact with the Martial Dao to absorb Spiritual Energy and enhance their physiques.

He didn’t know how many people would see this manuscript, nor how many would be willing to believe it if they did. But this was the only warning method he could currently think of to leak the news of the impending Demon Calamity without exposing his identity.

He only hoped that when the disaster truly struck, those who had seen his manuscript would remember parts of it and use the self-help methods introduced within to survive. Even if it only saved one person, it would mean he hadn’t written this manuscript in vain.

Having done all this, Liu Zimo unplugged the flash drive, restarted the computer, erased all traces of his operations, and quietly departed.

What he didn’t know was that as soon as his manuscript was published, it caught the attention of a certain live-streaming influencer. Finding it very interesting, this influencer read the entire manuscript aloud in his stream.

”Family, did you see this?

”It’s already 2033, and there are actually still people preaching about some post-apocalyptic crisis theory!

”TSK, TSK, TSK! Spiritual Power revival, Exotic Beasts descending from the sky to infect the Earth, turning the globe into an apocalypse overnight!

”Please! Similar fantasy novels were written to death over a decade ago, okay?

”I really don’t know what mindset the author of this article has. Could it be some washed-up fantasy writer promoting their new book?

”Yeah, it’s not impossible. Today’s web novelists will really do anything to promote their new books!

”However, with that said, although this article is written terribly and has no readability, the breathing technique attached at the end is quite interesting!

”As you all know, your streamer here is an orthodox inheritor of the Eight Trigrams Palm, so I have some research into Martial Dao breathing techniques.

”Just now, I tried adjusting my breathing according to this Guiding Breathing Method, and I have to say, it’s really effective! It doesn’t feel inferior to my family’s ancestral breathing technique!

”If you guys have nothing to do, you can try it out, too. I suspect the author discovered this set of breathing techniques in some ancient tome. The rhythm is simple, and it’s extremely easy to pick up. Even an ordinary person with zero Martial Dao foundation can easily learn it!

”Family, absolutely do not underestimate these subtle adjustments and changes in breathing rhythm. You must understand that the five elements of the human body are all maintained and circulated by qi.

”A reasonable breathing rhythm can make the aura in our bodies smoother and more peaceful. Smooth qi leads to a calm mind, a calm mind gives rise to spirit, and a rising spirit naturally wards off all illnesses!

”Now, let’s take this Guiding Breathing Method as an example and try to change our own breathing rhythms...”

This influencer already had quite a bit of traffic. Coupled with the fact that the Guiding Breathing Method was indeed extremely easy to learn, and that practicing it yielded immediate effects of clearing the mind and clarifying qi, it could help people recover a portion of their energy in a short time.

Therefore, the live stream quickly attracted tens of thousands of people to come in, listen, and learn, causing its popularity to surge instantly.

Seeing this, other streamers on the same platform began to follow suit, digging out the article titled ”November 11th, Doomsday is Coming, Self-Help Guide!” from the forums. Like him, they first mercilessly criticized the author’s cliché post-apocalyptic theories before focusing their attention on the Guiding Breathing Method at the end of the article.

In just half an hour, almost everyone across the entire video platform was discussing the Guiding Breathing Method and trying to adjust their breathing rhythms.

On the contrary, the preceding self-help guide didn’t receive much attention or recitation.

That evening.

When Liu Zimo returned to his uncle’s home from outside, he was shocked to find that his father, uncle, and younger brother were all gathered in the living room. They were watching a live video stream while constantly adjusting their breathing, practicing the very Guiding Breathing Method he had just published!
