"Brother, can you give him so much money?"
Lin Nujiao was still a little worried. Giving Captain Xu fifty thousand black crystals in one go was too generous. One had to know that Captain Xu's annual salary was only 10,000 Black Crystals, which was equivalent to five years of his salary. Humans were greedy by nature. If he gave so much this time, he would definitely demand an exorbitant price next time.
What's more, he still had the vice-captain and captain above him. If the two of them were to open their mouths, they would definitely ask for more. It would be troublesome if he didn't have the money to send it.
"Don't worry, Sister Lin. I know what to do."
Of course, Du Feng knew that if he gave Captain Xu fifty thousand black crystals, he would definitely ask for more from the Chief Captain. However, this matter had to be looked at from two aspects. As the commander of the city defense, he held a lot of power. He had personally obtained a lot of benefits, so he had to give Du Feng a certain discount on the transaction price.
Because the money from the transaction was collectively owned by the City Defense Department, they also had to give a portion of the money to the City Lord's Mansion. As for the reward given to him, it belonged to him. With a slight discount on the transaction price, Du Feng would be able to earn back the fees he had paid. On the other hand, if the chief captain were to make things difficult for him on the transaction price, or simply refuse to sell it to Du Feng, wouldn't he be dumbfounded?
"Tsk, tsk, tsk … My big brother has the guts to do things. You, little girl, can't do it."
After Hong Waner heard this, he was filled with admiration for Du Feng. He accidentally said the wrong thing.
"What did you say? Are you itching for a beating again?"
Back then, when Hong Waner saw Lin Nujiao, he was so scared that he didn't even dare to enter the weapon shop. Now that he had Du Feng to back him up, his words became more arrogant. In the end, Lin Nujiao glared at him, scaring him into shutting his mouth. No matter what, this woman's strength was still very high. If they really fought, even ten people of Hong Waner's level wouldn't be enough.
"Hahaha …"
Looking at Hong Waner's cowardly appearance, Du Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter. Lin Nujiao's strength was indeed not weak. She was an absolute expert amongst her peers. Otherwise, she would not have been able to become the champion of the Earth Ranking Tournament. However, he also noticed some problems. After months of hard training and the abundant essence energy in Nan City. His cultivation had already risen from Powang Level Six to Level Eight, but Lin Nujiao was still stuck at Level Eight.
She seemed to care too much about making money. She was somewhat addicted to running the shop and had slacked off on practicing martial arts. Weiyang Continent's environment, especially Southern City, gave people a feeling. As long as one had money, everything could be done. Even an Ethereal Transformation Realm martial artist would be polite to a Powang Realm martial artist who had money and power.
For example, now that Du Feng was familiar with Captain Xu of the City Defense Department, the Feathered Transformation Realm warriors in the Southern City did not dare to provoke him. Otherwise, they would be punished by the City Defense Department. Yundu City's Yun Yun City, the Yun Feng, that every, and the Xu, the Yun City's., every, every Yun was. by that, every martial artists, he a, could.
The benefit. that the Ling Yang, could., the stability. on.,., I. I, I, I,. . Yang, I., I the..,.., I, the....,...., I,. They could not give birth for hundreds of years, which caused the Weiyang Continent's population to decline. Fortunately, lower realm martial artists would come up from time to time. Otherwise, the population would decrease even more.
Weiyang Continent's cities were full of essence energy. Martial artists did not need to train hard. They only needed to wait for time. Cultivation would increase. In fact, not cultivating here was much faster than cultivating in the Lower Realms. Lin Nujiao was at Level 1 of Powang Cultivation when she came to Weiyang Continent. She made it to Level 8 by doing business every day. Hence, she did not care much about cultivation.
As long as she managed her shop well, had money to spend, and made some powerful friends, life on Weiyang Continent would be easy. As for cultivation, it was just a matter of eating more medicinal pills to make up for it. Lin Nujiao was not in a hurry to enter Yun City, so she was not in a hurry to cultivate.
But Du Feng was different. He needed to enter Yun City, and he was in a hurry. Only after entering Yun City would he know if what he saw at the realm gate was real, and if his father, Alchemy Sovereign, was calling him in his dream. Only after knowing the truth would he be able to save his father.
The purchase of the shop went smoothly. A three-story building along the street was originally priced at 1.1 million black crystals. It was sold to Du Feng for 800,000 black crystals. He even found an excuse, saying that the weapons he forged provided convenience for the city guards and enhanced their strength. Hence, he was given a special discount.
Tsk tsk tsk … Chief Commander indeed. What a good excuse. Du Feng was a sensible person. Of course, he would not keep the 300,000 Black Crystals for himself. Instead, he gave all of them to Xu Zhiming. He was Captain Xu's uncle. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy to establish a relationship with him. Of course, this 300,000 yuan was secretly given to his uncle through Captain Xu Tao, and no one else would know about it.
To show his respect, Du Feng even picked a few well-aged Fire Lingzhi and asked Xu Tao to bring them over. Chief Commander Xu Zhiming accepted the 300,000 black crystals and the decent Fire Lingzhi with peace of mind. It could be said that Du Feng had basically gained a foothold in the Southern City.
As long as he did not provoke a particularly powerful person, Chief Commander Xu Zhiming could protect him. After all, he was an Ascendant Realm master. Even if he could not beat Gui Gu Lunhai, he could still fight for a while. What's more, there were the stronger Deputy City Lord and City Lord. Gui Gu Lunhai did not dare to run to the Southern City to kill Du Feng.
The opening of the new shop. The first floor was selling weapons, the second floor was selling armor, and the third floor was selling miscellaneous items such as array discs and talismans. The armor was made by the tailor hired by Lin Nujiao, and the materials came from Du Feng's necklace pocket world. He went to the primeval forest a few more times and caught a lot of monsters to raise. After a period of breeding, the number was already very large. Even if he did not go to the primeval forest, he would not lack materials.
The business of the new shop was very good. Both he and Lin Nujiao made a lot of money. Because the profits of the new shop were divided by Chief Commander Xu Zhiming, the relationship with the City Defense Office was getting better and better. When Du Feng walked on the street, the patrolling City Defense Guards would nod and bow when they saw him.
