What do you mean by "the game editor has also traveled through time"?

"Lord Xu, I was forced by circumstances to go astray and ended up helping the Five Poisons Gang do some wrong things. I was blind to your greatness before and offended you."

"I am willing to offer fifty—no, sixty taels of silver to your gang."

Xu Shimo: "What does your gang mean by this?"

Wang Chang immediately gave a knowing look and replied very sensibly:

"Don't worry, I've never seen anyone from the Black Wind Gang, nor do I know anything about their return."

After saying that, he raised his head with a smug look on his face.

Xu Shimo was speechless. He had been inexplicably branded with the Black Wind Gang, and the brand was getting deeper and deeper.

Most importantly, he had never received any benefits from the Black Wind Gang.

However, he was too lazy to explain, and with his hand resting on the blade, he asked:

"What did you do for the Five Poisons Gang?"

Wang Chang: "I am quite familiar with Li Shou. He is the head of the pharmacy, so he can help me with many things, mostly related to the casino."

But as he spoke, he suddenly began to sob, "Sir, the Five Poisons Gang is truly despicable! They not only lend money in casinos, but also take people's hands and feet, even their spleens, and they even perform human sacrifices! It was better when the Black Wind Gang was around..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

How did we end up back here again...? Xu Shimo couldn't help but rub his forehead.

At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder, what's the deal with that Magistrate Huang?

In the novel "Asking the Throne", the folk sacrifices are mostly performed by minor demons, but they are mostly kind-hearted demons. In return for the favors they receive, the other party will also send some good things.

There are also malicious ones, such as those who demand human sacrifices.

But Chihe County is not a place that does not submit to the king's rule. Human sacrifice is definitely forbidden, but it seems that human sacrifice has been performed in Chihe County in private many times. Does Magistrate Huang really know nothing about it?

Xu Shimo doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the men right now, nor does he have the ability to do so.

Let's focus on what's in front of us first.

"Come, give me the silver, and I'll teach you the palm technique," he said, standing up.

"what?"

Wang Chang was stunned. You're really going to teach me?

To his surprise, Xu Shimo seemed to actually have some talent.

Wang Chang had certainly learned about the seemingly ordinary Black Wind Palm, and had even practiced it, but from Xu Shimo's casual words, he seemed to have gained a deeper understanding of it.

"Wow, you've got some nerve. You've been trained, huh?"

"That's too dull. There's no need to build up your strength or obsess over achieving a certain palm speed."

"Come on, exert your strength... Tuck your buttocks in, let your strength flow with your blood and qi, and carefully feel the surrounding energy, using this as a supplement."

"Don't understand what I mean? Let me demonstrate."

Snapped!

Xu Shimo moved with lightning speed, raising his palm and immediately causing several cracks to appear in the wood of the cabinet.

hiss~

Is this still the Black Wind Palm?

Wang Chang was stunned, thinking to himself, "How come I didn't see him exert any force?"

"continue!"

"Still don't know how?"

"Forget it, forget it, you're as stupid as a pig."

"..." Wang Chang's face turned awkward.

Seven days later.

That is, the 16th day of the 12th month of the 22nd year of Yongchang.

Although it didn't snow, it got a bit colder, and the pear blossoms that had bloomed out of season in the yard a few days ago had all shrunk back due to the cold.

Outside the courtyard wall, two furtive little beggars were slowly approaching.

"Is this it?"

"It should be. It used to be Master Yu's residence. Later, Master Yu was killed by Master Mo, and now Master Mo lives here."

One of the taller men looked nervous: "I've heard that this Master Mo is cruel and has a penchant for eating human heads. Brother, what should we do..."

"Don't talk nonsense. Although Master Mo is a top-notch expert, I've never heard of him killing people indiscriminately. Besides, those vendors all respect him very much. He's just delivering a message; he won't do anything to us."

"If you're too scared, I'll do it!" With that, the dark-skinned, slightly shorter beggar snatched the note tied with pebbles from the other's hand.

Take a deep breath.

He threw it into the yard and ran away.

The note landed precisely in Xu Shimo's hand.

"Am I that scary...?" Xu Shimo thought to himself as he tore open the note.

See you at midnight tonight.

Those five seemingly random words sounded more like a provocation.

Does this mean they're coming to my house tonight, and this note is considered a visiting card?

You're quite polite.

The problem is, who would send out a visiting card in this form?

Xu Shimo's gaze fell on the signature, and he was speechless once again.

The Black Wind Gang has really made a comeback. Does this mean they've started to consider themselves one of their own, or do they think they're worth winning over?

A series of footsteps sounded, and Zhao San walked in.

"Taxi driver, I just saw two little beggars outside the door, and they looked a bit suspicious. Maybe..."

"No need," Xu Shimo raised her hand, "I know what I'm doing."

Zhao San paused for a moment, then spoke:

"It might be difficult to open a new fishing ground there, and the expenses would be quite high. As for investing, Boss Wu of Bailang Fishing Ground has made an exception. He said that out of respect for you, he can arrange for you to invest half a percent and receive dividends every six months."

"Can't we get monthly dividends?" Xu Shimo asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhao San was taken aback, seemingly surprised that Xu Shimo's first question wasn't about how much silver was needed for half a percent.

"The taxi driver must have ripped someone off again. Now that he's got money to burn, he doesn't even bother asking about this anymore..." he thought to himself, but replied aloud:

"Boss Wu said that fishing is greatly affected by the seasons and the business is complicated, so it's impossible to settle accounts monthly."

"stop!"

Xu Shimo sighed and asked, "How much silver do we need to invest in this half-yield, and how much will we get in return?"

Zhao San had clearly asked all the questions and answered promptly:

"Three hundred taels for investment—but to save face for you, two hundred taels will suffice. You'll receive fifty to sixty taels in the first half of the year, and less in the second half, around forty taels."

That's the benefit of fame; people everywhere are willing to give you face.

but……

And they even scored a goal!

Xu Shimo immediately gave up, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh, "The county town is so big, it's not easy to live here."

Chihe County is indeed a riverside city, but it has long passed the stage of unbridled growth. Now, given his status and position, he could forcibly take over, but it wouldn't be worth it.

In fact, anyone else would have accepted it long ago.

Who is Ke Xu Shi Mo?

Unparalleled genius!

At this rate, it will take about two years to break even and start making a profit.

But given his extraordinary talent and hard work, it's hard to say what the situation will be like in two years, but this amount of money is definitely not worth his attention.

It seems that doing business is not suitable for me... Xu Shimo thought to himself, but where can he get the money?

Yes, Xu Da Cha Tou has once again fallen into a huge economic crisis.

The silver had been converted into strength.

In these seven days, he has perfected both the "Red Water Fist" and the "Wind-Stabilizing Saber Technique".

It must be said that Lin Chatou's "Feng Ding Feng Dao Fa" is truly extraordinary.

Having reached this level of skill, where the blade can summon wind with a single strike and suppress it upon landing, one is likely already capable of competing with martial artists who have entered the Dao realm.

At the same time, one can begin preparing to open the Zique acupoint and enter the Dao.

But opening acupoints also costs money.

The methods and pills for opening the mind are extremely expensive, and often there is no market for them even if there is a price.

But at that moment, someone who could solve this problem quietly arrived outside the courtyard.
