"Eight hundred taels of silver notes...one hundred taels of silver, twenty taels of gold, the total value is one thousand one hundred taels."
"Two hundred kilograms of dried beast meat, worth four hundred taels."
"Two sets of inner armor, worth one hundred taels."
"Three weapons, worth one hundred and fifty taels."
"Three medicinal plants, worth three hundred taels."
"Four secret books of unknown value."
"Some silk and satin."
…
In the evening, after Chen Che transported all the gifts home, he counted them and came up with a rather astonishing number.
The total value of these gifts exceeded two thousand taels!
According to what Zhao Tong said, when Xu Feng was the leader of the hall, he only received gifts worth a little over one hundred taels of silver, which was incomparable with himself.
With these two thousand taels of silver as capital, if I am willing to have more children, I might be able to develop a small family in the future.
Of course, he knew very well that the reason why these people gave so many gifts was mostly for the Jishi Alliance.
Will you join the Jishi Alliance in the future?
He couldn't tell for sure.
But deep down in his heart, he was actually somewhat unwilling.
Jishimeng, the name sounds like it wants to save the world.
He doesn't have the skills.
He just wants to find a good place and live a stable life.
However, this benefit will not come in vain if you don’t take it.
Anyway, people come here with a gambling mentality, and when it comes to gambling, it’s normal to lose and win.
Although two thousand taels is a lot, it is not much if it is spread among dozens of families.
Those families would never trouble themselves for such a small amount of money.
…
"Uncle, take these."
After counting the gifts, Chen Che took out a banknote and gave it to Wang Zhen.
Although his cultivation consumes a lot of money, he is not a person without a plan.
Stepping from the Bronze Skin Realm to the Iron Bone Realm, the difficulty has increased exponentially compared to before.
Many ordinary warriors will never be able to enter the Iron Bone Realm in their lifetime.
Even a talented warrior like Luo Xiong spent several years with ample resources.
He has the Yuan Devouring Bottle with him, so it will probably take him a few months.
If he wants to consume less time, he must turn on the high-pressure state for twelve hours a day.
That's so unrealistic.
Since there is only so much time to come, there is no need to settle accounts at this moment.
During the time he joined the Sirius Gang, he actually made a lot of money, but his family's situation did not improve much.
The furniture was still old furniture that had been moved from the old house, and my mother, uncle, and I didn't even have a few decent sets of clothes.
If he hadn't made up his mind to leave Stone Fire City in the future, he would have liked to buy this house first and then decorate it well.
"This... is too much."
Wang Zhen looked at the fifty taels of silver notes in his hand, feeling a little embarrassed.
Chen Che waved his hand.
"How much is there? Uncle, from now on you should eat and drink, and strive to enter the copper-skin realm as soon as possible, and become a hall master.
Besides, didn’t you collect some silk and satin today?
Let's make some decent sets of clothes tomorrow.
Also, the facilities in this courtyard are too basic. I’ll go get some better ones tomorrow.”
To be honest, if he wasn't worried about his uncle being remembered, he would have wanted to share some of those expensive weapons and armor with his uncle.
"Okay...okay."
Wang Zhen took the banknote and felt a little sad for a moment.
This nephew has grown up too fast, and I don’t know what kind of opportunity he got?
Others don't know it clearly, but he knows it very well in his heart.
My nephew has already entered the copper-skin realm, otherwise how could he have beaten Xu Feng to death?
In addition, many people showed their kindness to him today, and some even wanted to introduce him to his wife.
But he knew very well that those people wanted to get close to his nephew through him.
As the saying goes, the hands that hold others are short and the mouth that eats them is soft.
In order not to cause trouble to his nephew, he hid directly after meeting a few people today.
…
Back in the house, Chen Che first took out the four secret books.
These four secret books are all hand-written manuscripts, namely two books on boxing, one on body skills, and a special secret book called "Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons".
The two boxing techniques are very common, and their uses overlap with those of Pishan Palm. There is no need for him to practice them.
As for body skills, he is currently practicing Shadow Step, so he has to stay back.
What interests him the most is the book "Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons".
This book "Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons" not only introduces various techniques for using hidden weapons, but also records in detail the methods of making some special hidden weapons.
Chen Che turned on the high-pressure state and quickly memorized this hidden weapon secret book in his heart.
By learning hidden weapon techniques, he will gain long-range strike capabilities, which will undoubtedly greatly enhance his overall strength.
Moreover, he has learned concealed weapons, which makes it easier to kill people.
Killing a person at close range will leave traces, but using a concealed weapon will not have such a problem.
…
After reading the secret book, Chen Che took out another set of inner armor and put it on.
Compared with the pigskin inner armor I wore before, the quality of this set of inner armor is much better.
Then, he began to look at several weapons.
It is difficult for ordinary weapons to break through the defense of a bronze-skinned warrior, but these weapons are obviously different.
"This wave is a shotgun exchange for a cannon."
Chen Che was quite happy.
…
late at night.
Chen Che hid in the room, coughing and limping while practicing the Shadow Step. Occasionally, he would flick his swollen wrist and practice his hidden weapon skills.
Only when he was alone in the middle of the night could he practice three secret books at the same time under high pressure.
If it were like this in broad daylight, I'm afraid it would attract countless people to watch.
"From now on, I will sleep during the day and practice at night."
Chen Che silently made a decision in his heart.
After becoming the hall master, he no longer has to watch the scene.
He has complete control over his time during the day.
In order not to attract too much attention, sleeping during the day and practicing at night is undoubtedly the best choice for him.
…
Unknowingly, Chen Che practiced until early in the morning, and all the energy in the Yuan Devouring Bottle was consumed by him.
The family also accumulated some common medicinal materials, but after much thought, he took out a piece of old ginseng given to him by the Lin family.
In the past, he had a fixed prescription for charging the energy-devouring bottle.
The medicines in the prescription are all common medicinal materials that he carefully selected and have the highest cost performance.
He has never tried such precious medicinal materials.
"If the effect of this old wild ginseng is average...then sell it and replace it with ordinary medicinal materials.
Anyway, I’m not really weak, so taking this kind of big tonic won’t be of much use.”
With this idea in mind, Chen Che took out a short knife, cut a small piece of old ginseng, stuffed it into his mouth, and then swallowed it without chewing.
After taking the small piece of old ginseng into his stomach, he didn't feel anything special, as if he hadn't eaten anything.
“Could it be that the old medicine is almost the same as ordinary medicine?”
Chen Che's heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, a weak energy entered the element-devouring bottle.
Sensing this energy, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He had charged the Yuan-devouring Bottle dozens of times, and every time he swallowed the medicine, a white energy was poured into the Yuan-devouring Bottle.
