Lin Dong had never doubted that it was easy for capable people to make money.
Because he belonged to the category of capable people.
Gambling on stones and picking up scraps.
For ordinary people, it was almost impossible. People in this line of work were all very cunning. But for cultivators, it was just a matter of stretching out their hands. In fact, it was even easier than that … If Lin Dong was willing, he could casually take out a small thing from his storage ring, and it would probably be enough for him to eat for the rest of his life. But Lin Dong was reluctant. Using money to exchange for the treasures in his hands? No way. Those were the cornerstones of the Great Way leading to the world of cultivators. They were the bridge of happiness for him to continue his relationship with Fairy Piaomiao. Not a single one could be missing!
"Eh?" Before lunch, Lin Dong, who was about to take a bus to Jade Street to pick up scraps, found a few sneaky guys at the bus stop at the intersection.
Some pretended to get on the bus.
Some kept squeezing.
Some used umbrellas and newspapers to cover for them.
In the short time that he squeezed into the bus, a short guy with extremely fast hands succeeded repeatedly and gained quite a lot. When he cut open the trouser pocket of a balding uncle and took everything inside, he also cut off the golden necklace of the fat mistress next to him.
His movements were extremely fast.
Other than his companions, no one else noticed it.
There were gangs of thieves everywhere. In the past, Lin Dong had mustered up the courage to catch them twice. Later, he found that these guys came out faster than him. He really couldn't control them, and in the end, he could only pretend to be blind. But today was different. Because today, Lin Dong was a little poor. Moreover, those guys actually glared at him angrily, full of warning.
F * ck!
Do you still think that I'm the weakling who was so nervous that my heart was pounding when I caught a little thief back then?
"There's a friendship between friends. I'm very poor today, and I haven't had lunch yet. I'm also too lazy to walk far. So, just borrow some money to spend!" Lin Dong remembered that in the first year of his transmigration, people often borrowed money from him on the road, saying that there was a friendship between friends.
At that time, Lin Dong was very bitter.
He had no choice but to borrow money.
This kind of predicament only improved in the third year of his transmigration. Sometimes, when people borrowed money from Lin Dong, Lin Dong could turn around and borrow money from them. By the fifth or sixth year, no one would borrow money from Lin Dong anymore. Under normal circumstances, it would be Lin Dong who would borrow money from others. By the eighth and ninth years, some of the smaller sects, especially the ones that didn't have a big backer behind them, had also established this kind of friendship with Lin Dong. As long as Lin Dong asked for it, no one would refuse.
The only exception was Fairy Piaomiao.
In the beginning, Lin Dong thought that she was just a junior sister. Relying on his identity as the eldest senior brother, he was prepared to borrow some energy from her. Who would have thought that she would send him flying thousands of miles away with a single palm strike?
Perhaps it was due to the kindness of his ancestors, but later on, Lin Dong coincidentally met her a few times. After careful observation, Lin Dong discovered that although this girl's battle prowess was off the charts and her status in the cultivation world was frighteningly high, her personality was not bad. It was just that she liked to be quiet too much. Usually, she was always alone, which made Lin Dong's heart ache for her. Lin Dong felt that if he could have a dao companion like this in his life, then he would have nothing else to ask for in life.
In order to catch up to the girl in his heart as soon as possible, Lin Dong decided to abandon his past of idling around and work hard to become a good cultivator who could fly together with the girl.
On the day he transmigrated back, he mustered up his courage and sneaked into the Nine Hell Forbidden Area to secretly learn Fairy Piaomiao's family's secret manual.
Who would have thought that after he succeeded, he would be too excited.
When he sneaked away, he went in the wrong direction.
The girl was bathing under the waterfall.
Ah, no, she was cultivating … So, he was instantly killed by her with a palm strike. This matter was truly unjust!
"Looking for trouble? Why are you pretending to be a hero on Dong Mountain? Do you want to die? " When those guys saw that someone had stepped out, regardless of whether they were in the car or standing in front to help cover, they all rushed over and surrounded Lin Dong. Their eyes were like hyenas that had seen flesh and blood.
"I'm a very easy-going person. If you have money, I'll lend you more. If you don't have thirty or fifty thousand, that's fine. If you really can't, I'll lend you ten or twenty thousand." Lin Dong expressed that his requirements were not high.
He also knew that these trash didn't have much money on hand.
Money had to be handed over.
However, his kindness was not rewarded. A burly man who was probably a spectator rushed up from behind the platform and punched him with a fist as big as a pot. "I'll borrow your mother!" This was not a martial artist, but his fist was very big and powerful. If it was the previous Lin Dong, he might not even be able to withstand a single punch. Unfortunately, sneak attacks were useless against cultivators. It was the same even for Lin Dong who had just recovered his cultivation and lost it.
No one present saw Lin Dong's movements clearly. They only felt their vision blur. When they could see clearly, they found that the burly man was kneeling on the ground on all fours for some reason.
And Lin Dong was standing behind him, one foot stepping on the back of the burly man's knee, the other knee pressed against the unlucky guy's spine.
He bent down, reached out his hand, and pressed it against the big head.
His movements were simple and swift.
Incomparably elegant.
With a slight twist of his hands, there was a crisp "crack" sound from his neck. The burly man's eyes rolled back, and like a felled tree, he fell to the ground with a thud and no longer made a sound …
"You killed him? Ah! "The few bandits who rushed over to help were all frozen in place.
They were all scared to the point of going crazy.
Big brother, we're just thieves. We're just stealing a wallet. You don't have to kill us, right? Furthermore, you're too skilled!
Lin Dong saw that things were not going well. The surrounding rabbit people were about to misunderstand. He hurriedly laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm used to it. Actually, I've always wanted to change. For example, I'll be a good person every day. Don't worry, his neck is actually fine. In three months at most, it will return to its original state. I promise. "
After saying that, he took out what he thought was his most elegant and amiable smile. But when the other party saw it, they were scared out of their wits.
They almost peed their pants.
No matter what, they still had to borrow the money.
"Are you kidding me? Why is it so little? Is this worthy of our deep friendship? " Lin Dong was very dissatisfied now. He criticized them seriously, "You're too lazy. You have such a good job, but you don't do it properly. How can the economy improve?"
He gathered the money in the hands of those who were about to cry.
He skillfully put it into his pocket.
He saw the short man's expression when he saw that they were about to cry.
Lin Dong felt that sometimes it was not good to be too strict. One should be tolerant to friends. He pointed out their mistakes, but at the same time, it was appropriate to give them a little encouragement.
Therefore, he reached out and patted the shoulder of the short man who was quick with his hands. "I know that it's not easy for you. It's hard work, but that's how society is now. There's a lot of competition in every industry. If you don't work hard, you'll definitely be eliminated. But don't be too discouraged. After all, you're still young. There are still opportunities. Work hard! "
After saying that, he took out a pair of sunglasses from the pocket of another guy's jacket and coolly put it on the bridge of his nose.
Whistling, he leisurely walked away.
What he left to the onlookers was an extremely elegant back view.
"What happened?" The burly man who was lying on the ground suddenly sat up. His expression was very confused.
"Are, are you okay?" The short man mustered up his courage to ask. The burly man looked normal on the outside, except for his head which was crooked.
"I'm fine." The burly man whose head was crooked to his right shoulder touched his head. "My mind is a little confused now. What happened just now? Why did I fall to the ground? "
"Doesn't your head hurt?" The short man and his companion looked at each other. How could he be fine with his head crooked like that? That didn't make sense.
"No! What's wrong? "The burly man didn't remember what had happened at all.
When he said that.
Even the onlookers from afar felt horrified.
The culprit who caused all this, Lin Dong, whistled unconsciously as he sat in a taxi heading for Jade Street. He didn't get much today. Lin Dong felt that he should continue to work hard and go to Jade Street to see which boss he liked. Then, with their deep friendship, he would borrow some money.
The taxi driver was the kind of person who could stand together and talk even when they peed.
He was very talkative.
Especially the generous Lin Dong. He immediately handed over the old man's head. With the help of the money buff, he said everything he knew.
"The most famous one is, of course, the century-old shop 'Xiang Qi'. Xiang Qi is ranked second in Dong Mountain City. No one dares to say that they are first. Jade? The stone in their lobby is said to be worth 100 million. It's the treasure of the shop. You'll know once you enter. It's huge. There are only a few of them in the country. But they are all finished products. They go to Stone Street in Gaoping District. They open it there and sell it here. It has always been like this to share the risk. You have to be careful when doing business. You want to buy a jade to coax your girlfriend, right? You can't go like this. You have to find someone you know. There are many ways to deal with jade. If you're not careful, you'll be cheated. I have a friend who used to be a multi-millionaire. He's very arrogant, and he talks like Bill Gates. However, he only got cheated once. It wasn't much, really not much. It was all over. He lost his house, car, and everything else. Now, I heard that his kid can't even pay for tuition fees. Isn't it miserable? " The driver was beaming with joy. It seemed that seeing others suffer was a joy in life.
"I'm just going to take a look." Lin Dong pretended to be listening to him.
"Take a look. Don't rush. You have to figure out the knack. It's fine if you go alone. But if you bring your girlfriend with you, she will hold you up. If you fall into a trap, just come to me! "The driver advised Lin Dong enthusiastically.
"Brother, you have an acquaintance?" Lin Dong laughed.
"Of course I have an acquaintance. In our line of business, we have a lot of friends. If you want to buy a piece of jade, you can make your own decision. If it's not worth a million yuan, you can't ask for help. There are rules in this line of business. If you're not a friend, you can't help others. If you want to buy a good one, you have to find an acquaintance to help you. That way, you can be sure. If it's less than ten thousand yuan, it's better to look for it yourself. If it's more than one million yuan, you can ask him for help … "The driver patted his chest. If Lin Dong wanted to buy a top-grade jade, he could ask him for help.
"Thank you, brother." The hypocritical Lin Dong expressed that he had learned something today.
"I'll leave you a business card. If you need anything, just come to me." The driver's service attitude was very good. Unfortunately, he was not the mayor of Dong Mountain. Otherwise, it would be even better.
After getting off the car at Yuqi Street, Lin Dong looked up at the sky.
The sky was clear.
The sun was shining.
Today's weather was good. Well, it was a good weather to talk about friendship.
