Chapter 292 Spiritual Holy Water

"This is too expensive!" Gao Fei was angry and amused. "With these 648 RMB, I might as well spend a few bucks in the game. If I'm lucky, I can get an SSR and enjoy the whole day without any spiritual practice."

"Xiao Fei! You're about to graduate from college, why are you still addicted to games? I advise you to open up your mind and think more about your life after graduation. Start a business as soon as possible!"

The cousin taught Gao Fei a lesson in the tone of an elder.

"No matter how useless I am, I can't follow you to sell fake medicine... That's a really bleak future." Gao Fei said angrily.

"What do you mean by fake medicine? I sell traditional elixirs imported from India. More importantly, they have been blessed by masters and have infinite magical effects!"

"Come on! Where in the world are there any elixirs that can cure all diseases? You believe this nonsense! And that spiritual master is probably a charlatan. Don't be fooled by him and count money for others."

Gao Fei's painstaking warning did not work.

The cousin still kept selling spiritual holy water to him, saying that he could earn a lot of commission for every bottle sold. If the buyer resold it to others, he could also take a commission. This cycle would continue and it would be a huge source of wealth!

"Xiao Fei, I'm giving you a chance to achieve financial freedom. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

Gao Fei was so angry that he laughed when he heard his nonsense.

"Stop, stop! Dapeng, I finally figured it out. What the hell is this spiritual holy water? It turns out your kid is doing pyramid selling!"

"What pyramid selling? Don't talk nonsense! I'm doing a legal business. If you don't believe me, come with me to Longquan Villa tomorrow to attend classes and listen to Master Amadea's teachings. I guarantee you'll be enlightened on the spot!"

"You're still taking classes? Isn't this a classic pyramid selling routine? I think you've been brainwashed by that master!"

Gao Fei said unhappily.

"Xiao Fei, words are not enough. I'll send you a video of the master's lecture. This is our internal teaching material. Delete it after you finish watching it. Don't spread it around!"

"I know." Gao Fei patiently prevaricated.

"Okay, I'll send you the video. If you get inspired after watching it and become interested in our spiritual business, call me anytime!"

After my cousin hung up the phone, a video came in soon.

The format of the video is quite weird. You need to download a special decoder to open it.

Gao Fei knew from a young age that his cousin was not in tune with reality. He did everything except work! He really didn't want to deal with him, so he saved the video and was not interested in playing it for the time being.

Recalling the enthusiastic tone of his cousin when he was selling "spiritual holy water", Gao Fei was a little worried, so he called his mother to find out what his cousin was doing recently.

If he really did illegal business as he worried, he should not implicate relatives and friends.

"Xiao Fei, did Yue Peng call you to borrow money?" Gao's mother asked.

"No, my cousin sold me some 'spiritual holy water' and said he would take me to do business and make a fortune together."

"Don't believe his lies!" Gao's mother said angrily, "Yue Peng has not been a good student since he was a child. Recently, he has become addicted to pyramid schemes. He has been blacklisted by relatives and friends. He can't make it in his hometown, so he actually went to the provincial capital to cheat children. He is really black-hearted!"

The mother scolded her cousin and Gao Fei's father answered the phone, reminding his son not to deal with pyramid schemes.

"If Yue Peng bothers you again, don't talk nonsense with him, just call the police!"

Gao Fei hung up the phone, feeling uneasy.

Cousin Yue Peng is three years older than him. He has been the king of children in the town since he was a child. After graduating from high school, he didn't get into college, so he just hung around in society, worked part-time, and did small business, but he didn't do anything for long.

Gao Fei always felt that his cousin was not bad at heart, but was eager to prove his ability and impatient to learn a craft. He always wanted to get rich overnight so that his relatives and friends would look up to him. It was really pitiful that he ended up in a situation where his grandmother and uncle didn't love him.

In fact, looking back, his cousin really had the opportunity to get rich overnight.

For example, last year, he mortgaged his house in his hometown and borrowed money everywhere, including Gao Fei's 3,000 yuan, to raise funds and went to a southwestern province to invest in a mine with a group of friends and speculate in Bitcoin.

All the money was invested, but due to various factors, the currency market plummeted, and there were rumors that the government was going to ban virtual currency transactions. The cousin couldn't bear the mental pressure, so he reluctantly sold all the mining machines and coins, and lost everything.

However, not long after, the currency market rebounded and the price of Bitcoin soared, but he was out of the game and could only watch his former partners make a fortune and regret it.

After this blow, my cousin was like a gambler who had lost all his money. He was thinking about what business to do to make money quickly. As Gao Fei's mother said, he was "crazy".

Although in the eyes of the elders, my cousin was a typical prodigal son, but after all, he was a relative of his family. Gao Fei couldn't just watch him jump into the fire pit of pyramid selling.

Sighing, Gao Fei turned on his mobile phone, downloaded the decoder, and played the "teaching" video sent by his cousin.

The video was a compilation of four small clips, which added up to only ten minutes. The picture was blurry and swayed from time to time, which made people dizzy.

Gao Fei watched it patiently.

The place in the video seems to be a courtyard. Hundreds of people are wearing white robes and sitting cross-legged on yoga mats. There is a soundtrack similar to chanting Buddhist scriptures in the background. The weird atmosphere reminds Gao Fei of a cult ritual.

A podium was set up in the center of the sutra courtyard, and a man in a white robe sat on it.

He looked to be in his thirties, but his long hair and thick beard were as white as snow, which gave him a youthful look. He must be the famous spiritual master Amartya Feng whom my cousin admired very much.

Master Feng was preaching his spiritual experience to the believers. Gao Fei listened to a few words and found it very boring. It was just some clichéd chicken soup words.

The so-called "success masters" and wild Rinpoches in the last century relied on this kind of rhetoric to cheat people for food and drink. This Master Feng also used this trick. Gao Fei couldn't help but worry about his cousin's IQ when the scam routine was so old that people could still fall for it.

The screen flashed and the video jumped to the next clip. Master Feng was no longer satisfied with just sitting and talking, so he stepped down from the podium and performed miracles in front of his followers.

He walked up to a disabled man lying on a stretcher and whispered a few words to the patient, as if to encourage him to overcome his illness with his spirit. As long as he was sincere, he could stand up.

Gao Fei found it funny, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore.
