At Mao o'clock on the second day, the Jinhu Gang's boats traveling down the river returned to Jiangcheng.
At the second pier, many people were waiting eagerly. After seeing Niu Cong on the boat, everyone burst into cheers.
Niu Cong put his arm on Liu Mang's shoulder and got off the boat, looking friendly, as if he regarded Liu Mang as a confidant.
"In this heavy escort, Tieniu, you are the biggest contributor! I will report it to the hall master and gang leader exactly as they are, and I will receive no less of the reward I deserve!"
"Thank you Lord Niu for your support."
"No need to thank me, you typed it all yourself."
"You have made great achievements this time. If you have any requests, I will help you!"
"I want to learn Tiger Boxing." Liu Mang was not polite and said it directly. He still lacks one boxing technique and now relies too much on the knife in his hand.
"Okay, I will ask the gang leader for instructions." Niu Cong nodded.
After the two of them finished talking, Mr. Niu ordered around: "I'm going to the helm right away to meet with the gang leader. Brothers, go back and rest first, and we'll meet again tomorrow."
"Go to Fugui Street tomorrow morning and invite Chef Wang! I, Baishui Hall, want to celebrate Tieniu!"
"Okay!" Everyone responded one after another and dispersed.
…
Liu Mang thought for a while, put the stainless steel ax, one of the trophies this time, into the gang, and rushed directly to Liujia Village. I must have been waiting impatiently.
Before taking a few steps, Liu Mang frowned.
He had not felt anything before on the boat, but now he felt tearing pain in many places all over his body. Especially his right arm, the skin was red and swollen.
The all-out blow of the mental movement method is a blow that concentrates almost all the strength of the body, and the requirements for physical strength are particularly high.
Although I have already practiced skin training once, and my physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary people, it is obvious that I have not yet reached the level where I can use my mental skills arbitrarily.
Just after using his ultimate move twice, you can clearly feel that your body has been injured, and it will probably take some time to recover.
Thinking of this, Liu Mang felt irritable. He looked at the attribute column habitually, but made an unexpected discovery.
On the property column, the second column [Lifespan: 17/70] was originally in green font, but now it is covered with a vague light yellow halo, which makes people feel uncomfortable when looking at it.
And behind it, there was a looming plus sign.
What does this plus sign do?
Liu Mang thought of it and tried it. He imagined a force in his mind and pressed the plus sign. He saw the [Lifespan: 17/70] column flashing, and the yellow halo above it disappeared and returned to the normal green color.
At the same time, a wave of heat surged through his body, instantly passing through the torn parts of his muscles.
It's like rain comes after a long drought, like spring breeze blowing on the earth, or like being massaged by a girl. Those parts that were originally painful now feel extremely comfortable. The red and swollen right arm has also returned to its original state in an instant.
But these are not without cost, the energy in the last column is reduced by 10.
[Name: Liu Mang]
【Lifespan:17/70】
[Realm: One-time skin training (outside)]
[Skills: Chizhu Kung Fu (second level 0/100), Sky Eagle Sword Technique (minor success 0/100), Ghost Tracking Step (mastery 15/15)]
【Energy: 48】
No matter what, I only earned 6 energy points by killing a hall leader, but it cost 10 energy points just for treatment.
Liu Mang thought so Versailles in his heart, but couldn't help but smile.
He has another big trump card!
As long as he has enough energy, and as long as he is not killed immediately, he can immediately thrive through autonomy!
Energy energy, he needs more energy! Whether it is to upgrade his martial arts or to save himself, there is never too much energy.
"It's too slow to kill chickens alone. How can I increase the speed of earning energy and open up more channels to earn energy?"
"Looking for cooperation with other butchers? You may not have enough time. After all, you have to go to the gang to check in every day. If you are late, you can miss work."
"Going to carry out a sneak attack on a large chicken farm and pig farm? This kind of place is closely guarded by other gangs, so it is not easy to achieve. Moreover, this kind of behavior is too tasteless, and I don't even bother to do it."
“It’s hard to make money these days, and it’s also hard to make energy!”
Liu Mang was thinking about something on his mind and came to Liujia Village without knowing it.
"Good morning, Tieniu!" an aunt who was cleaning the house greeted him.
"Good morning, Aunt Tian." Liu Mang nodded towards her, but he didn't notice that the other party looked at him a little strangely.
Liu Mang's mind suddenly popped up with that dangerous thought: "Aunt Tian is probably worth less than 1 energy."
He was so frightened that he hurriedly shook his head to force this thought away.
Next, he met several villagers, each of whom greeted Liu Mang enthusiastically. Liu Mang nodded towards them, but he couldn't help but analyze how much energy these neighbors were worth.
The strength of the Ax Gang's men is generally between 0.8 and 1.2, so they...
Stop, stop, stop!
Liu Mang stopped not far from home and did not continue walking.
"No, I'm a bit obsessed!" Liu Mang shook his head crazily and roared, scaring a wild dog on the roadside and running away.
"Is this the sequelae of murder?" Liu Mang thought expressionlessly.
Take a deep breath, take a deep breath.
He stood still and tried to restore his brain to an ethereal state.
You have to set a schedule for yourself, otherwise you will go crazy sooner or later if you continue like this.
"Don't kill innocent people, only kill enemies."
"Kill as many animals as you can."
"I am a human being, not a demon. If I fall into evil ways, even if I am invincible, will I still be me at that time?"
"Energy cannot be forced, let it take its course and accumulate slowly."
Liu Mang thought silently in his mind several times before completely getting rid of distracting thoughts.
But he knew that this situation would probably stay with him for some time.
People always want to take shortcuts, and restraining desires is the hardest thing.
Liu Mang shook his head and walked towards home.
Liu's mother picked up leeks at the door of her house as usual, but she would look outside the door from time to time. Ever since Liu Mang joined the gang, she didn't sleep as well as before, and she was still worried.
"Tieniu, you're back, have you eaten?" When Liu's mother raised her head to look out the door, she unexpectedly spotted Liu Mang approaching and said happily.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Eat on the boat."
"How about this time? Is it dangerous?"
"It's nothing, I even picked up a bag."
Liu Mang sat on the bench, placed the black sachet from Wang Zhi, the leader of the Ax Gang, on the table and opened it directly.
There were a lot of people on the boat talking, and it was only now that he had time to look at them.
There are not many things in the bag, there are three items in total.
Two banknotes, textured like paper but not paper, each with a face value of five hundred taels, stamped with the red seal of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce.
Six gold leaves, each weighing about one or two taels, are probably worth more than one hundred taels of silver according to the current gold and silver exchange ratio.
A black token from the Ax Gang.
I was worried before that I didn't have enough money to buy the medicinal materials for practicing external martial arts, but now the money has come, and I still have more than a thousand taels.
I remember that he worked as a coolie at the dock before, earning only ten coins a day and less than four taels of silver a year. Compared to now, it can be said to be a world of difference.
However, the Sihai Chamber of Commerce does not have a branch in the outer city, so we need to take time to go to the inner city.
"Mom, keep this."
"Where did you get so many gold leaves? You can use it yourself, and do more good relations with the gang so as not to offend others."
"I still have it myself, just take it."
Liu Mang gave Liu's mother four gold leaves and put everything else back into the bag.
He listened carefully and found that there was no sound coming from the next door. He probably went to the Black Bear Forest to dig wild vegetables.
With nothing to do, Liu Mang filled the water tank at home and went to help Uncle Wang's house to fetch water.
Uncle Wang's complexion is visibly worse than the past few days, and even taking medicine has no effect. Liu Mang shook his head, birth, old age, illness and death are normal in the world, and Uncle Wang doesn't know how long he can live.
From this, he thought about the fact that he only had a lifespan of seventy years shown on the property column, and he felt a little irritated.
