The Demon Lord of the Outside World

Chapter 30: Collecting money and collecting poisons, outsiders don’t know

A week had passed in a flash, and the flow of people in the market did not show any sign of slowing down, but became even more lively. During this week, various merchants and vendors continued to come to the market, and basically brought new resources and items every day.

"This one, this one, and that one, all were solved on the spot."

In the Three Star Cave, Xu Wang raised his hand and named three stubborn stones, and then ordered them to be solved.

"Yes, then the young master is still the same as before..."

"Yes, not bad, put it in the account."

At the same time, in the Xu family's territory, in Xu Ziran's mansion, Xu Ziran squinted his eyes and looked at the briefing just delivered by the family servant. One of the conspicuous items was Xu Wang's daily expenses in the market in recent days.

Xu Ziran gave Xu Wang the jade card, and naturally also mastered the details of the other party's resource intake. As a Gu Master, all his combat power is on Gu worms. Knowing what Gu worms the other party has obtained is basically equivalent to knowing how to target Xu Wang.

"Master, this is what has happened in recent days. That Xu Wang has been paying almost all his expenses in the market on credit with the jade token you gave him, and he never settles the accounts. He is also addicted to gambling on stones. Although he loses nine out of ten times, he sells all the poisonous insects he gets at a fair price and then pockets the Yuanshi. He is..."

The servant next to him hunched over and spoke carefully, while Xu Ziran just picked up the teapot on the wooden table and sipped it slightly, without any reaction.

"How could he do this!"

Xu Wenshuo, who was sitting next to him, was displeased and raised his hand to slap the table.

"Wine, sex, money and anger are the root of the worst evil. His talent is not the best, and now he is attracted by gambling on stones?"

Xu Wenshuo said this with anger on his face. Seeing this, the servant who was originally bent over quickly bent down lower, and Xu Ziran slowly put down the teapot and waved his hand to indicate that the servant should go down.

After the servants left the room as if they had been pardoned, Xu Ziran spoke slowly.

"What kind of person do you think Xu Wang is?"

"Xu Wang? He is two-faced, seemingly polite, but actually cunning."

"Since you have said that he is two-faced and cunning, why do you think he is just addicted to gambling?"

After hearing what Xu Ziran said, Xu Wenshuo also lowered his head silently. How could he not know that Xu Wang was not as he seemed on the surface? But he just didn't want to accept it.

Since he was born, Xu Wenshuo has been a star-studded existence in the clan. After he became enlightened, he was even praised as a genius. He was strong by nature, and because of his arrogance, he didn't want to take anyone seriously.

However, when he started practicing, Xu Yichen was superior to him in talent and speed of refining poisonous insects. Even so, he did not regard the other party as a real opponent, but only planned to strive for the title of the first to be promoted to the middle level. Xu Wang, who seemed to be only able to practice hard, was not even considered by Xu Wenshuo as someone worthy of his memory. He just thought that this person seemed modest but was actually eccentric.

However, reality gave him a blow. This guy, whose talent and family were far inferior to his, actually got promoted to the middle level before him. If it was just that, it would be fine. Xu Wang actually gave this title to himself. In Xu Wenshuo's view, this was like alms!

So in the future, Xu Wenshuo regarded Xu Wang more seriously than Xu Yichen. He did not regard him as an opponent, but as an object that needed to be stepped on hard. The family competition was his chance to completely suppress and defeat him, and then completely forget about it!

At the beginning of the competition, Xu Wang was only a late stage, and even the Gu worm was just a patchwork of common Gu worms. This situation made Xu Wenshuo even think that he had no need to defeat Xu Wang, and he could not even come to him.

As a result, Xu Wang slapped him in the face with his actual actions. With his cultivation of the first stage and several common Gu insects, he defeated many good players in the group competition, and even solved Xu Hou, who he thought might be a little tricky. At this point, Xu Wenshuo finally regarded him as someone worth defeating, but what Xu Wang showed next was more than that!

Four-element Gu formation, defeated Xu Yichen.

Even Xu Wenshuo himself did not dare to say that he could do such a record. Even the appearance of the Four-element Gu formation made Xu Wenshuo feel suppressed by it. Just when he was nervous, his great-grandfather Xu Ziran suddenly said, Xu Wang is going to give the first place to him again?

Who does he think he is! A beggar on the side of the road? I, Xu Wenshuo, need your charity? !

So he was ruthless in the last big competition. After several attempts, he fought with Xu Wang without dodging, determined to defeat him head-on.

However, in the end, Xu Wenshuo defeated him only after being reminded by his great-grandfather Xu Ziran. Although he won, this move inevitably made Xu Wenshuo feel a little unhappy. After that, Xu Wenshuo might not have the opportunity to fight with Xu Wang like this again. Xu Ziran had already pulled Xu Wang into his own lineage. So far, his relationship with Xu Wang has become that of a superior and a subordinate. How could he fight with all his strength again?

But even so, seeing the person he used to regard as an opponent indulge in gambling on stones, Xu Wenshuo would still be indignant.

"He was naturally unhappy to be forced into the camp by me, but in just a few days, he restrained this unhappiness and seized the opportunity of this market. He used the power I gave him to enrich his background as much as possible, and he used gambling on stones as a way."

"This boy chose to gamble on stones. Half of it was revenge, and the other half was to clean up the money and turn the invisible power into Yuanshi in his hands. It is rare for him to have such ideas and plans at this age."

Speaking of this, Xu Ziran suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly gloomily.

"But although this boy has many ideas, he is not a chess player. After all, he is just a chess piece. No matter how he runs around, he can't escape the chessboard plan!"

The sun is setting in the west. On the second floor of Sanxing Cave in the market, Xu Wang only gambled on stones on the first floor for the first few days. Although he lost more than he won, according to the Gu worms he opened, he didn't lose too much Yuanshi.

However, in the past two days, Xu Wang started to gamble on stones on the second floor, and he still bought a lot of stubborn stones. Unlike the first floor, where a stubborn stone is at most 20 Yuanshi, each stubborn stone in the second floor gambling stone field is at least 50 Yuanshi, and an average of 100 Yuanshi is required for a stubborn stone.

However, in just two days, Xu Wang spent no less than 4,000 Yuanshi, and these Yuanshi were recorded by the jade card. Xu Wang sold all the Gu worms at a fair price for Yuanshi, and put them all in his pocket, earning about 3,000 Yuanshi.

Just when Xu Wang chose another stubborn stone, the servant suddenly ran over in a hurry and whispered in Xu Wang's ear.

"My lord, your jade card can no longer be used for credit. If you still want to buy stubborn stones, I'm afraid you have to pay directly with Yuanshi."
