Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 14 Is this reasonable?

By the time he came to his senses, the elite monster's corpse had already been taken away by that person, who also picked up quite a few Zerg remains along the way.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"What a powerful rooster! It took down that elite monster so easily."

"Young master, is that handsome young man also a student at the art studio?"

But the young man remained silent, his eyes gleaming, his gaze fixed on the departing rooster knight.

"Chase!"

With that, he sped off at full speed, chasing after the rooster rider.

What he cared about wasn't the materials from the elite monster set, but rather the Rooster Knight himself and the powerful scroll in his hand.

"Which university training team is he from? He's truly a formidable player!"

"There are quite a few universities coming to Yaoyang City for training this year. I wonder which universities' freshmen they are?"

beep-

They kept honking their horns to signal the rooster rider to stop.

Little did they know, the rooster rider was cursing and making a hasty escape.

"Tch~ Just because you're incompetent doesn't mean you can't let others take it, right?"

"Chicken King, let's go that way!"

Chicken King's speed is naturally not as fast as armored vehicles, but Chicken King can adapt to all kinds of treacherous and rugged terrain.

However, the tanks behind could only take detours when faced with complex terrain.

Having successfully shaken off the chariot, Wu Xian was secretly pleased with himself; this trip had been incredibly fruitful.

Unfortunately, their joy was short-lived, as the roar of engines came from behind them again.

"..."

He initially thought the chariot had caught up again, but upon closer inspection, his expression instantly turned strange.

A familiar-looking, dilapidated motorcycle came along, trailing thick smoke. It was none other than the same motorcycle driver from before.
The motorcycle taxi driver quickly caught up with Chicken King. After recognizing Wu Xian, the driver was also taken aback. "Oh~ you little brat, you're still alive?"

"..."

Wu Xian was speechless after hearing what the motorcycle driver said.

"Riding a big rooster on the road, that's pretty cool, kid." The older brother glanced at Wu Xian's rooster and teased, "Want a taxi? Thirty yuan, no problem."

"fifteen."

"Sure, get on!" The motorcycle taxi driver readily accepted the fare.

This left Wu Xian speechless; it seemed he would have to lower the price to ten yuan next time.

After paying and getting on the motorcycle, the driver once again unleashed his speed and passion.

Not long after the two left, the rumbling tank caught up with them, and the tank driver, completely lost, went crazy.

"Wait a minute~ why is that guy running away? Am I that scary?" the young man said, puzzled.

The pretty girl next to him whispered, "Maybe he thinks the young master wants to steal the materials from that elite monster?"

"What's so great about stealing a Tier 2 elite monster?" The young man was speechless.

“It may not be much to you, but for an ordinary family like ours, it’s a considerable income.”

"alright."

The young man sullenly curled his lip, still not quite understanding what that little bit of money could do.
At that moment, a powered skateboard with flames shooting from its tail hovered above the vehicle, making the four beautiful girls' eyes light up.

"Senior Zhou, you're here too?"

The rich young man immediately recognized Zhou Qi on the motorized skateboard and clicked his tongue as he examined the skateboard under Zhou Qi's feet.

It's a pretty good vehicle, but it can't carry cheerleaders. I'll get one later to show off, though.

"I was wondering who brought an armored vehicle to the beginner's dungeon, turns out it was junior Wang," Zhou Qi chuckled. "By the way, did you see anyone carrying a rooster scroll?"

On the way back to the fortress, I vaguely heard a few familiar rooster crows, so I followed the sound.

"A rooster?" Junior Wang was slightly taken aback. "Does the senior know that guy?"

"What, you've seen him before?" Zhou Qi's eyes lit up slightly.

"We're chasing after him, but we lost him," said junior Wang excitedly. "By the way, who's that guy from? He's pretty fierce! And that rooster, senior, do you know which master created it?"

Zhou Qi shook his head and smiled, "I'd like to ask you those same questions."

Then, the two began to talk about their respective experiences.

Zhou Qi was not surprised to learn that Wu Xian had easily defeated a Tier 2 elite monster.

On the other hand, junior Wang reacted with shock, "What the heck? He single-handedly took down the mother nest? Senior, are you sure you're not joking? This...this...is reasonable?" "It's not very reasonable," Zhou Qi said seriously, "but I saw it with my own eyes."

……

Wu Xian took a taxi back to the North District and went straight to the materials store he had previously worked with.

"Boss, what you're doing..."

Before I could even open my mouth, the owner anticipated my words, saying, "Yes, we have everything you could want."

"Uh, I'm here to ship a goods."

The owner switched quickly, saying, "We buy everything, and the prices are fair and reasonable."

Looking at the owner sitting leisurely behind the counter, Wu Xian thought to himself that this owner was also an interesting person.

A moment later, looking at the mountain of Zerg remains, the shopkeeper was slightly disappointed. "Zerg goods, you know the situation with Zerg goods, I'm afraid I can't offer a good price."

“It’s alright, just go for the market price.” Wu Xian said understandingly. “Also, I have a special Zerg corpse here, how much would you be willing to pay for it?”

As he spoke, he pulled out the corpse of the second-tier elite insect monster.

"Hmm?!" The shopkeeper immediately perked up. "A second-tier elite insect monster, lad, you're pretty good!"

"I got lucky and benefited from someone else's advantage."

"The damage is a bit severe, but it is still material from an elite monster," the shopkeeper examined the condition and estimated a rough price. "If sold separately, it would probably be around 30,000. How about a fixed price of 30,000?"

"can."

Afterwards, the boss instructed the staff to take inventory, which, along with other insectoid materials, totaled 54382 spirit yuan.

"By the way, do you have any rare materials here?" Wu Xian asked casually.

"Yes, but only for levels four and below," the boss said without hesitation. "And there aren't many in stock. If you have a specific need, I can arrange for you to order more."

"Uh, I don't need it for now, I was just asking." Wu Xian quickly waved his hand to say goodbye.

"Welcome back next time, young man."

After leaving the materials store, I went to the nearest pharmacy.

He spent a whopping 18,000 to get a box of [Spirit Gathering Amplification Liquid], a spiritual potion used to improve the efficiency of spiritual power cultivation, something only the wealthy could afford.

The problem with the scroll has now been resolved, but one's own spiritual cultivation must also catch up.

After cultivating spiritual power to level two, further improvement becomes significantly more difficult.

It's important to understand that the gap between the wealthy and ordinary people is multifaceted.

To keep up with your peers, investing in cultivation resources is essential.

Back to the shantytown.

Since the old man began to recall some of his memories, his behavior has become much stranger.

Here he is, having somehow acquired some fitness equipment, and he's lifting weights inside the house.

"Come on, Xian'er, come with Grandpa!" The old man, lifting a dumbbell with one hand, beckoned to Wu Xian. "A real man needs muscles; a strong physique is the foundation of all battles."

"..."

Although Wu Xian was somewhat amused and exasperated, he didn't spoil the fun and joined the old man in practicing.

"Hey~ try not to use spiritual power, otherwise it won't be effective." The old man corrected Wu Xian's posture while reminding him, "I've been thinking about some combat techniques and physical training methods from the army these past few days. I'll teach them to you later. You'll need them when you fight with others."

Wu Xian nodded obediently, unable to refuse his grandfather's good intentions.

"Oh, by the way, that little girl from the Tang family just came looking for you. Call her back in a bit."

"Ok."

After continuing to accompany the old man in his training session, I returned to my own little house and called Tang Tiaotiao back.

"Sister Tiao came to see me? What happened?"

"Isn't this our first time doing a dungeon raid for inspiration? I was thinking of inviting you to join the raid group, right?" Tang Tiaotiao said cheerfully. "It's a pity you weren't here today, so you didn't get to see my little Jade Rabbit's charm. He was so handsome!"

Wu Xian was speechless. "Remember to tell me in advance next time."

Free tickets are readily available, so why not take advantage of it?

"By the way, what scroll did you buy? Is it useful?" Tang Tiaotiao asked curiously, "I'm also planning to acquire some other scrolls to improve my combat power."

"You'll find out when the time comes," Wu Xian said mysteriously.

"Tch~" Tang Tiaotiao said dismissively, "What kind of amazing scroll can be worth less than two million?"

Wu Xian smiled but remained silent.
