This Side Effect is Awesome

   Chapter 16 Warehouse Theft

   In just half a month or so, Song Ankang's strength was like riding a rocket. Hurricane hurricane broke through several realms in a row from an ordinary person, and was promoted to the first level of internal refining, and he was qualified to be called a second-rate master.

   To be able to improve so fast, the Fate-Defying Book of Heaven certainly played a huge role, but the medicinal materials obtained from the warehouse also made great contributions, but the consumption was even greater.

  The full three-month monthly salary, plus Liu Yuanqing's three-month monthly salary, combined to exchange for only enough medicinal materials for Song Ankang to use for half a month.

   As the owner of Chaoyun Grange, his monthly salary is the highest here, and the medicinal materials that can be exchanged are considerable.

  These herbs have been used by ordinary warriors for one or two years, but when they arrived at Song Ankang, they were used up in half a month.

  Although he is the owner of Chaoyun Grange, it is not bad to be able to pay three months' monthly salary in advance, but if you need to pay in advance, it will not work.

   Without the help of medicinal herbs, Song Ankang had only one way to improve at a high speed, and that was to practice more injury and dirty fists.

   smiled helplessly, Song Ankang reminded Qiu Shi, and then he came to the practice room, locked the door, and started to cast the dirty fist.

   "Boom..."

  “Ow…”

  …

With one punch, Song Ankang cried out in pain. Compared with the pain caused by the injury to the flesh and bones, the pain caused by the damaged heart is much more terrifying. Just one punch made Song Ankang a little unbearable. .

   "You cast the Seven Wounds Devil Sutra, you are affected by the side effects of the Seven Wounds Devil Scripture, and your heart is damaged... The Fate-Defying Book is functioning, absorbing external energy, and the side effects are about to be transformed, please wait!"

  …

Song Ankang collapsed to the ground in pain, waiting for the feedback of side effects. The martial arts diverted attention, but it still hurt badly.

   If it weren't for the painstaking practice of the Seven Injured Devil Sutras in the past two weeks, and the absorption of side effects has increased his mental will a lot, Song Ankang would have fainted in pain.

  Unfortunately, the practice in the inner refining realm requires special care, and Song Ankang did not dare to faint, otherwise he would have to hit two sad punches in a row.

   "The Book of Destiny has accumulated enough energy to start working... Your injuries are healed, your qi and blood are improving, and your heart is strengthening!"

  I don't know how long it took, but the feedback of the side effects finally arrived. Feeling like a heart soaked in a hot spring, Song Ankang felt at ease.

  Unfortunately, the feedback of the side effects only lasted for a few minutes, so Song Ankang didn't even have time to reminisce. Fortunately, the tempering of the heart has improved a lot.

   Leaving the practice room to eat something, although there is no medicinal food, but there is still beast meat to enjoy, and the energy inside is also good, barely enough for Song Ankang to practice the ten-minute Seven Injury Devil Sutra.

After    practiced the method, Song Ankang hesitated for a moment, but with a bitter face, he threw another wound and dirty fist, and then fell to the ground and twitched.

  Under the hard training without fear of pain, Song Ankang's tempering speed of the five internal organs is quite impressive, at least dozens of times faster than that of monks of the same level.

   However, if there are enough medicinal herbs to assist, the speed of improvement will be faster, and the practice of the Seven Injury Magic Sutra can effectively improve the spiritual will.

  So while practicing hard, Song Ankang was also looking for a suitable way to make money. After rummaging through the memory of the original owner, and borrowing some modern ways of making money, he had a way in his heart.

   However, this road still needs to be perfected and cannot be taken out immediately.

After having dinner that night, Song Ankang was about to go back to his bedroom to practice the Seven Injury Magic Sutra when he heard the noises coming from outside. The bigger it is, it has not stopped for a long time.

  Song Ankang frowned and walked towards the warehouse where the noise came from with Qiu Shi and Jiang Yunhe, who were also unable to sleep, and found that most of the people in the entire Zhuangzi were gathered there, noisily not knowing what they were doing.

   After getting close, Song Ankang understood the reason from the noise of the crowd.

   "Hao Jiyong, hurry up and admit it. Who else would steal those precious medicinal herbs besides you? If you admit it now, it will end well. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude and killing you directly."

"The weather is severe this year, and the cost of income is not good. We all rely on some precious medicinal materials left over from last year to tide over the difficulties. Now that you have stolen several precious medicinal materials, how can we still pay the tax? You are trying to force everyone to death. what."

"Steward Liu also said that you used the key of the warehouse ten days ago, and then the warehouse began to be stolen. We did not find any traces of monsters and monsters in the warehouse after careful inspection, which means that the warehouse theft must have been Man-made, who else but you."

"Yes, a few days ago, someone saw you taking a ten-year-old ginseng to sell in Tongxin Town. Among the precious medicinal materials that were lost in our warehouse, there was a ten-year ginseng plant, and some people also found that your brother was infected with it again. You are addicted to gambling, you owe a lot of money to the casino, you must be doing this kind of crazy thing to pay your brother's debt."

  …

  The warehouse was stolen, and all the doubts pointed to a warehouse worker named Hao Jiyong. Hearing the voices of everyone's crusade, Hao Jiyong was also a little anxious.

   "I never stole those precious medicinal materials. I, Hao Jiyong, acted openly and honestly. I have never stolen anything from others, let alone the precious medicinal materials in the warehouse. I did not do this."

"I used the warehouse key ten days ago, but instead of secretly taking it to get a new key, I went to get food for you, not to mention that not only did I use the warehouse key ten days ago, but others also used it. , why did you say I stole things from the warehouse?"

"My brother did owe a lot of money to the casino these days, and our family was unable to pay it back, so every night I would venture to the surrounding woods to look for medicinal herbs, and I wanted to sell him the money to pay off the debt. That ten-year ginseng plant is in What we found in the red leaf forest was not in our warehouse."

   "If you don't believe me, you can ask my mother-in-law and children. They all know about this and have been persuading me not to take risks."

  …

   But not many people believe Hao Jiyong's defense.

   "If you say you are upright, you will be upright. I also said that I am a first-class expert, but who would believe it."

   "No one else has the motive for stealing the keys and stealing the precious medicinal materials, only you have this motive."

   "Your daughter-in-law and children must have one heart with you. How could they expose you? Hao Jiyong, just admit it. There is no one else but you in this matter."

   "Even if you didn't do this, it must have something to do with you. Maybe it's your brother who did it, and you're just an accomplice."

  …

  Because Hao Jiyong had many doubts and the evidence he presented was not too strong, it made more people think that he did it.

But Hao Jiyong never admitted it. Seeing him being so stubborn, Liu Yuanqing, the warehouse manager, was a little annoyed. He stepped forward and pointed at Hao Jiyong: "Since he refuses to admit it, we will take him to the dungeon and clean it up. He paused to see if he dared to be so stubborn."
