Chapter 154: Entering the Shop?

The more doubts people once held in their hearts, the more shock they feel now.

Some even doubted that this wasn't the opponent's limit yet.

Because Jiang Cheng's expression was so calm, it looked as if he had done something trivial.

"Stop arguing!"

Feng Lai shouted.

"I bought the course first; if you want to learn, line up behind me!"

After speaking, they looked at Jiang Cheng with a friendly face and said, "Master, shall we talk in detail?"

"No need to call me Master; just call me Cang Hai."

Jiang Cheng was equally indifferent.

After all, this is reality.

With strength, others naturally respect you.

"Damn!"

Seeing Feng Lai like that, everyone silently raised a middle finger in their hearts.

You weren't like this before.

But the smart ones have already opened their phones to place orders.

Unconsciously, an hour passed.

Feng Lai took a deep breath, feeling greatly benefited.

"Cang Hai, little brother, your course is 2000 per hour, right? I'll buy another hour."

He, still eager, said, "I feel that after your guidance, many things that were confusing and insurmountable are now crystal clear."

"Actually, I've already said everything that needed to be said."

Jiang Cheng shook his head.

"The rest you must practice yourself, so you can gradually digest it and eventually make it your own."

He is still too kind.

In one hour, he poured out all his insights and experiences.

Another hour would be rehashing, and the key is that they're a Level 4 Original Force Warrior—can't afford to provoke them.

"Hmm, that's the point."

Feng Lai laughed heartily, "Not bad, little brother, your Gunmanship is so good; want to go hunting in the wild with us?"

"You?"

Jiang Cheng heard this and showed a curious expression.

"Yes, we have a small squad of three or four people, planning to go to the wilderness in two days to hunt Exotic Beasts. If we're lucky and catch one, each of us can earn tens of thousands. Your Gunmanship is that accurate; as long as an Exotic Beast appears, we can definitely take it down. So, why not join us?"

"This one."

Jiang Cheng forced a wry smile.

"I would like to go with you, but my strength is too weak; I'm only Level One."

"Right."

Feng Lai slapped his forehead, recalling that he originally bought the course because he couldn't stand a Level One Force Warrior charging so much.

"What a pity."

He showed a look of regret.

"Level One strength is indeed too weak; at least Level Three, preferably Level Four or Level Five, since it's dangerous there—one slip and you could lose your life. But you shouldn't underestimate yourself."

He turned around and said, "For a newcomer just entering the guild, having Level One strength is already decent; many newcomers have been here for years and are still ordinary. Moreover, your Gunmanship is so accurate—once your strength improves, you'll definitely become the team's prized asset."

"I appreciate the elder brother's kind words."

"Hehe, fine, let's stop here for now. Keep it up."

Feng Lai waved at Jiang Cheng, then refocused on practicing Gunmanship.

He felt that after this learning session, his progress should be significant.

Jiang Cheng took a few steps forward, and many people immediately gathered around.

"Little brother, I placed an order an hour ago; give me some guidance, will you?"

"Yes, little brother, I also placed an order."

"I also ordered!" "Sorry, sorry."

Jiang Cheng pulled out his phone and saw, as expected, a string of messages on the screen.

He roughly counted; at least twenty people had placed orders, including some for two hours.

If we count a minimum of one hour per person, that's twenty hours, amounting to 40,000 yuan!

Of course, compared with the 1.5 million needed to raise Visualization Method to Proficient level, this is less than one‑thirtieth.

But if used to purchase Secret Medicine or Cultivation Method, it's much more worthwhile.

After all, a Human Weapon tops out at only 100,000 yuan.

In most cases, Human Weapons can train together; already opened Acupoints, though they won't be opened again, can be reinforced, increasing the amount of Force they absorb and strengthening the physique.

Moreover, his current strength is weak; he can't go to gangs for money nor hunt, so this income source is still relatively decent.

The only drawback is that it consumes too much time.

One person needs one hour.

With twenty people ordering, at least twenty hours must be spent.

The speed of opening Acupoints will naturally slow down.

"If it slows down, so be it; let's seize the time to earn some money—maybe after we leave this village, this shop will be gone."

Jiang Cheng quickly made a decision and, following the order of the requests, gave directions.

At the same time, Jiang Cheng's reputation spread thoroughly; although people didn't know him, most knew that a newcomer had arrived at headquarters and his Gunmanship was formidable.

By six o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Cheng really couldn't hold on any longer.

It wasn't that his stamina was exhausted, but that his mouth was dry from speaking.

In the end, this was also hard‑earned money, and it couldn't be compared with those who teach Secret Martial Arts and charge ten to twenty thousand per hour.

Jiang Cheng did think about it.

But that would have to be after the Broken Jade Fist Great Completion, even after its perfection, and it also depended on whether others were also practicing that Secret Martial Arts.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Jiang Cheng left the headquarters directly; when he got home, it was just in time for dinner.

Four people gathered around the table; the dishes were fairly plentiful, at least there was meat, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Jiang Cheng also enjoyed this rare warmth.

He planned to go back to continue refining the original force after the meal.

Ten hours; each day he must spend ten hours on this, otherwise it's a waste of the original force!

Xiao Cheng.

At that moment, Chen Sao showed a hesitant expression, "Sister‑in‑law has something I want to discuss with you."

"What is it, speak up."

Jiang Cheng smiled.

"It's like this: these past two days I've asked around and learned there's a clothing factory nearby that's constantly hiring."

Chen Sao looked at Lin Yue, then said, "Xiao Yue and I could go in and work for a while; I heard the salary is quite good."

Jiang Cheng heard this and frowned.

At his time, entering a factory was a very harsh thing; a person was not a person, but an emotionless machine, with body and mind constantly tormented.

Here, it would probably be even worse.

He set down his bowl and chopsticks and asked, "How good is the salary, exactly?"

"Five thousand a month."

Chen Sao laughed, "That's much higher than our income in the Poor District; Xiao Yue and I together could earn ten thousand a month!"

"Mm hm!"

Lin Yue nodded repeatedly.

Both eyes were shining.

She also felt that she couldn't keep taking advantage of Jiang Cheng forever.

Having a job is good enough, and each person can get five thousand a month; when she and her mother were in the Poor District, the two of them together couldn't even earn that much in a month.

No wonder it's the Outer City District.

So many people from the Poor District are crowding their brains trying to get in.
