From Chopper To Cthulhu

Chapter 14: Beacon

   "That's good! The princes and generals, Ning you kind, should be replaced by the big man!"

   Old Dao's voice praised in his ears.

   "I, I···"

   Li Goudan felt that his shame had been reduced a lot, and was about to stammer about something more, only to see the shopkeeper in this teahouse, but walked to his side.

   "This guest officer, it's noon, would you like to order some food?"

   The red that had just faded from Li Goudan's face poured up again.

Yes, he only found out now that he has been sitting in this teahouse for several hours, and it is already noon now, and he, after sitting all morning, only ordered a cup of tea, and that’s it, and he has refilled a few more cups. Second-rate.

   And this shop's Xiaoer seems to be asking himself if he wants to order some food, but in fact the real meaning is one-if you don't order something to eat, just get out of the place...

   But now the story of Wu Lin Zhizun has not been finished, and it seems that the key points have been talked about. At this time, if Li Goudan leaves dingy, he can't do it.

   "Then give me, give me a steamed bun and a pickle..."

   Li Goudan finally took out the few remaining copper coins from his arms.

  Dian Xiaoer frowned, but fortunately he didn't say anything. After receiving the copper, he went to serve steamed buns and pickles.

   "You don't have a penny on you."

   The old knife's voice rang in Li Goudan's ears.

   He even knew more about how much money He Zhen had than Li Goudan.

"Yes···"

   "Go and collect some protection fees."

   Dao Lao's voice was faint, but it exploded in Li Goudan's ears like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

   "Receive a protection fee?"

   Li Goudan repeated with some difficulty.

He understood what the word    meant. After all, he had just watched the "Young and Dangerous Boy" all night last night. He was even moved by the Hongxing spirit and wanted to join it.

   But now, he was suddenly asked to learn to collect protection fees. He was really not prepared for this.

   "There is no protection fee, so you will go begging along the street? Do you still want to be a peerless master, or do you want to find the treasure of the martial arts supreme?"

   The words of Master Dao are plain and cruel: "If you don't want to, the old man doesn't matter. Anyway, the old man is just a kitchen knife."

   He Zhen also couldn't think of other ways that Li Goudan could get money quickly.

Although, according to his mind that he has read many novels, he can pick dozens of ways to make money at his fingertips, such as "copying the four classics", "playing with gunpowder", "inventing penicillin", "making soap", "Burning glass", "selling sanitary napkins" and so on... Which one can't make a lot of money?

   He really even remembers that there was a really amazing traverser who made billions of dollars by selling stockings, and it was before World War I!

Hey, it’s a pity that there are so many methods, it seems that there are not many that can really be used. "Copy the four classics". Sorry, even if you really say it, Li Goudan can’t write a single illiterate one, and you have to write a book. How long, the money is too slow.

"Inventing penicillin", "making soap", "burning glass", etc. Sorry, He Zhen only knows a little bit, even if you know what it is, you want to research it out and sell it for money, then It can't be done in a day or two, and the distance can't be dissolved by the near fire.

  Thinking about it, the way to make money suitable for Li Goudan seems to be a "collection of protection fees."

What? Do you say that you can make money by doing hard work and being a tracker?

   Yes, but can you eat meat? How many pieces of meat can you eat?

  "···Where can I get it?"

   Li Goudan asked carefully.

   "Just put it away from this tea house, and when you finish listening to the storytelling, you will throw the old man in front of the shopkeeper, and then you will put some cruel words..."

   Old Dao pointed out casually.

  ······

   Two hours later.

   Li Goudan stood on the side of the street, staring at the bustling crowd in a daze.

  The storytelling about "Wulin Supreme" has come to an end. At least Mr. Pingshu has left work, so he doesn't need to continue to stay in the teahouse stubbornly.

   But Li Goudan still didn't follow Dao Lao's instructions, and went to the teahouse to collect protection fees.

   As for why he didn't do it... Li Goudan didn't think about it, he felt that he didn't dare, but... he couldn't tell.

   Dao Lao didn't make a sound again.

   "Old Dao...you, are you angry with me?"

   Li Goudan hesitated, and still asked the master kitchen knife in his arms.

   "No, the old man is just a kitchen knife. All he can do is to give you some suggestions. Whether or not to adopt it is your own choice. As for the consequences of your choice, you have to bear it yourself."

   Dao Lao's voice was flat and monotonous, as if he was explaining something completely unrelated to him.

He Zhen has indeed done everything he can. He has tried his best to influence Li Goudan. Even if he has the help of his new talent skill "Demonstration", he has almost reached the limit of normal influence. , The threat of oppressing Li Goudan may make the other party submit for a while, but it will plant a thorn of resistance in Li Goudan's heart. Over time, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive.

   And He Zhen also believes that sooner or later Li Goudan will follow his own words.

Throughout history, it’s not uncommon for a penny to stump a hero. Before UU reading www.uukanshu.com, there was Han Xin Yifan’s favor, and then there was the story of the green-faced beast Yang Zhi selling knives, and Li Goudan, it’s. It is impossible for someone to help him "eat meat", and he does not have any treasures or knives to sell.

   As for other ways to get money quickly, does he have any?

  ···

   Until the sky is slightly drunk, night is approaching.

   Li Goudan walked all over Wu County, not too young, and finally made up his mind.

   "Old Dao, I, and I decided to collect protection fees."

   Li Goudan stood in the street that had been wandering for a long time, touched the old kitchen knife in his arms, and whispered.

In one afternoon, Li Goudan went to see almost all the work he could do in the county town—no culture, writing and reading is nowhere for him. All he can do is hard work, washing dishes, and washing dishes. NS.

   But these jobs, working from 9 to 5 for a day, are at most half full. Does he want to practice martial arts, or to find the treasures of the martial arts supreme?

   And for these hard work, he may not have his turn-a large number of farmers from outside the city and the broken soldiers flocked into the city, also looking for jobs that can make a living...

   Until the night was approaching, Li Goudan finally realized that, it turned out that Old Dao gave him the best path for him?

   At this moment, Li Goudan felt a little regret in his heart, regretting that he didn't listen to Master earlier, and wasted most of his time in vain.

   "Prestige from Li Goudan +500!"

   "The reputation with Li Goudan has reached [Respect]!"

   "Breakthrough in reputation, gained 3 talent points!"

   "Holder: Li Goudan, current reputation: Respect."

   Another long period of soul fluctuations swept the screen in He Zhen's head.
