Surviving in a chaotic world and becoming a saint by adding points

Chapter 20 Harvest

Chen Ran glanced at it only once before walking straight ahead.

Just as I was passing by a few people.

The leader of the group stepped forward with one foot, blocking Chen Ran's path.

"Hey kid, which road do you come from? Don't you know you have to pay me if you see me?"

Several people gathered around.

It's still a classic line from a cannon fodder character in a novel.

Chen Ran thought he wouldn't encounter it, but in reality, there are quite a few brainless people.

Chen Ran looked up.

"Bang bang bang bang!!"

With a series of punches flying from their hands, the group fell asleep immediately.

After doing all this, Chen Ran searched the men and took a little over one tael of silver before leaving.

"Even during the day, we're encountering robberies on the street. Looks like this Rat Street is going to be chaotic for a while longer."

The thought of moving kept swirling in my mind.

These were just minor incidents along the way.

We arrived at the inner courtyard of the Tongbei Boxing Hall.

Chen Ran was somewhat surprised to see his senior brothers and sisters, whom he rarely saw, practicing in pairs.

In the corner, Meng Sheng, who was watching this scene with nothing to do, saw Chen Hou and quickly beckoned him over.

"Junior brother, you've finally arrived. If you hadn't come, I was about to come looking for you."

"Wait a minute, don't go. I'll take you to my house. This time, my dad has brought you lots of good things."

Chen Ran nodded, then looked at the people practicing in the arena.

"What are these?"

"Hey, it's not the martial arts exchange meeting in a few days."

And so, the master called them all back.

There will be a selection process within the martial arts school at that time.

The top three will be selected to attend the exchange meeting.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. Why don't you come to my house now? You still need to move for a while.

"Alright."

Chen Ran nodded and left the boxing gym with Meng Sheng.

Speechless all the way.

Upon arriving at the Meng residence, Meng Sheng led Chen Ran inside.

Inside the reception room, Meng Zhenyue and Meng Fan were discussing something.

Hearing footsteps outside, Meng Zhenyue looked up and smiled.

"Sheng'er, Master Chen, you've arrived."

"Please sit down."

After greeting the two, Meng Zhenyue turned to look at Meng Fan.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Let's not agree to those people's demands yet, and just wait and see."

"Yes, Father."

After saying that, Meng Fan got up and walked out of the hall.

When Meng Fan approached Chen Ran and Meng Sheng, he gave Chen Ran a friendly smile, ignored Meng Sheng, and then quietly left.

"Father, I've brought my junior brother."

Meng Sheng seemed to have gotten used to all of this, and stood up to look at Meng Zhenyue.

"Um."

"Master Chen, the bear meat has been cut up."

Some of them have already been made into jerky.

You contributed the most to this mission.

Thirty percent of the bear's body is at your disposal. If you don't want the bear meat, it can be converted into gold notes, which is ten taels of gold notes. Which do you want?

"There are so many?"

Chen Ran asked, somewhat surprised.

One tael of silver was equal to one thousand copper coins, while one tael of gold notes was equal to ten taels of silver.

Of course, this is the exchange system established by the government.

In other places, one tael of gold notes would be worth at least twelve taels of silver.

Gold notes can be exchanged at the official bank in any city in Great Spirit.

It can be said to be an absolute hard currency.

"Bear meat is very beneficial to martial artists, so its price is naturally higher."

"Then I'll choose five taels of gold notes and half of the bear meat," Chen Ran said.

"Alright, Sheng'er, take Chen Gongfeng down to get it."

"Yes, Father."

After saying that, Meng Sheng led Chen Ran out of the hall.

"Phew~"

As soon as he stepped out of the hall, Meng Sheng let out a long sigh of relief.

"Sigh, every time my older brother and father discuss things, the atmosphere is very tense."

It's so much more comfortable outside.

Chen Ran's lips twitched slightly, finally understanding why this Senior Brother Meng spent all his time at the boxing gym.

She's practically invisible in this family.

However, isn't this also a kind of happiness?

"Senior brother, spar with me later. I'm not very familiar with some parts of Tongbei Quan yet."

Chen Ran said.

"no problem."

Meng Sheng said generously.

After passing through a central hall, the two arrived at a courtyard.

The entire courtyard was empty, with the ground paved with stone slabs.

In the courtyard, a team of ten guards was patrolling.

Upon seeing that the person who arrived was Meng Sheng, the guards did not stop him but continued their patrol.

"Third Young Master, Master Chen, you've arrived."

Chen Ran and his companion hadn't even reached the halfway point yet.

A figure immediately walked out from the middle room.

Chen Ran raised an eyebrow; it was someone he knew.

"Manager Wang? I don't recall you being on duty in the warehouse today."

Meng Sheng looked at Steward Wang in front of him with some doubt.

"Hehe, well, Old Li had something to do today, so I'm covering for him for the day."

Manager Wang, his mouth dry and feeling somewhat guilty, looked at Meng Sheng and Chen Ran.

"I see. Give my junior brother fifty catties of bear meat and five taels of gold notes. That's what my father said."

Meng Sheng had no doubts and said.

"Yes, you two come with me."

Manager Wang quickly led the two inside.

Inside the storeroom, two people were playing chess on a heated brick bed.

Sensing a faint sense of threat emanating from the two individuals, Chen Ran was certain that both of them were martial artists who had broken through their limits.

They glanced at it casually and then continued playing their game.

"Third Young Master, Master Chen, please have a seat. The things will be here shortly."

After giving the greetings, Butler Wang immediately went into the storeroom to retrieve the items.

Soon, a large bag of processed bear meat and a box were placed in front of Chen Ran.

"Master Chen, here are fifty catties of bear meat and five taels of gold notes. Please take a look."

Upon opening the box, a five-tael gold note from Datong Money Exchange appeared before Chen Ran.

"Is this the gold ticket?"

"Yes, what's the problem, Junior Brother?"

"It's nothing, I've just never held a gold note before, so I don't understand it."

Chen Ran spoke frankly, directly admitting his ignorance.

"Datong Money Shop is the largest money shop in Daling, and it can be found in any city."

Anyone who takes this gold note to Datong Money Shop can exchange it for an equivalent amount of gold.

So, junior brother, you'd better be careful.

As he was about to say the last sentence, Meng Sheng reminded him.

"Thank you for the reminder, senior. I will pay attention."

After confirming that everything was correct, the two headed towards the door.

Before leaving, Steward Wang secretly slipped Chen Ran a silver note.

Chen Ran glanced over and found that the other person was looking at him with a fawning expression.

Chen Ran accepted it without making a sound.

………….

"Bang bang bang!!!"

Inside the arena, the two were frequently exchanging blows.

The sound of fists colliding echoed.

After a while, the two parted ways.

"I lost."

After calming his internal energy, Chen Ran spoke, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.

Just now, both of them used Tongbei Quan (a style of Chinese martial arts).

Whether it's skill or sheer strength in a head-on confrontation, she is no match for Meng Sheng.

This Senior Brother Meng has always kept a low profile; I never expected him to be so strong.

As for using barbarian skin?

This is a bit beyond the norm.

"Tongbei Quan is known for its fierce and powerful style. Its characteristics are speed and strength."

The Tongbei Fist of the Lesser Mastery corresponds to one blood, the Greater Mastery to two blood, and the Three Bloods to perfection.

Only by combining specific secret medicines and demon beast meat can the Tongbei Fist be honed to its peak.

"Junior brother, you've only just broken through your limits. You're still a long way from reaching the peak of first blood. Take your time to hone your skills."

Meng Sheng explained while encouraging Chen Ran.

Of course, if he didn't have that smug smile on his face, he really would be a good senior brother.

"Alright, that's enough for today's practice. Come on, let's go to Zuilanfang for drinks today."

That was the most luxurious restaurant in the entire Qinghe County.

The medicinal dishes inside are all made from the meat of demonic beasts.

Seeing that Chen Ran wanted to refuse, Meng Sheng directly offered a reason that Chen Ran couldn't refuse.

"Senior Brother Meng has gone to great lengths."
