Chapter 2: 002 Apology

“The key is still to earn more money.”

After calming down, Gu Yang thought about the most crucial point.

This system, like those games from his previous life, requires money at every turn.

Only with money could he continue to simulate life.

However, now that he was a warrior and had the power, earning money would be much more comfortable than before; no longer a struggle.

He had to stalk in the mountains for several days just for that mink.

Gu Yang thought to himself, “It’s time to leave Liu Family village.”

Just then, a strapping figure walked over, “Gu Yang, are you alright? I heard some noise, I thought your house had collapsed.”

The visitor was none other than Liu Shitou, who had taken him in initially.

Gu Yang’s house was also built with his help. It was right next to his house.

Gu Yang said, “It’s nothing. I was just practicing.”

Liu Shitou’s gaze fell upon the hole on the doorframe showing a look of astonishment, “Is this… are you…?”

Gu Yang knew what he wanted to ask. He did not hide it and nodded, “Yes, I have cultivated true Qi.”

The cultivation of true Qi is a sign of entering a rank.

Liu Shitou was so shocked that he couldn’t speak.

The martial art his family passed down was, indeed, inferior. His father and grandfather had practiced their whole lives but could never cultivate true Qi.

In this life, Liu Shitou did not have any significant aspirations. After many years of practicing martial arts, he also longed to enter a ranked martial art level.

Now, Gu Yang had done it.

He sincerely felt happy for Gu Yang.

…

“Brother Gu.”

Suddenly, a middle-aged man came from outside. It was the merchant who had bought things from Gu Yang, “Brother Liu is also here, that’s perfect.”

Seeing him, Gu Yang was somewhat surprised, “Old Gao, what brings you here?”

“There is indeed something I want to discuss with you.” Old Gao laughed.

“Let’s talk inside.” Gu Yang invited him into the house.

Old Gao expressed his purpose directly, “This is the situation: we are planning to go to Wang Family ditch, and we would like to hire you to be our guide.”

Upon hearing the name ‘Wang Family Ditch’, Liu Shitou, who was standing by, turned pale.

Gu Yang was somewhat curious, “How do you know that I can find the way to Wang Family ditch?”

Wang Family Ditch, a swamp more than dozens of miles away, was filled with poisonous mist and miasma year-round, with many poisonous insects infesting, it was a dangerous place.

What’s strange is that there’s a village near there, where all the villagers’ surnames are Wang. This was the origin of the name ‘Wang Family Ditch’.

The village was very alienating to outsiders and barely had contact with the surrounding villages. It was very peculiar.

Old Gao laughed, “The mink fur you sold me belongs to the purple mink that is unique to Wang Family Ditch.”

Gu Yang said, “Wang Family Ditch is dangerous.”

Old Gao said, “If brother Gu is willing to be this guide, we are willing to pay two taels of silver as a reward.”

“In the whole Liu Family village, only he and I know how to get to Wang Family Ditch.” Gu Yang showed his white teeth, “You need to pay more.”

“How much do you want?”

“Twenty taels.”

“Impossible.” Old Gao almost jumped up.

This was plain robbery.

Gu Yang laughed, stretched out his finger, and poked a hole straight through the table.

A warrior?!

Upon seeing this, Old Gao couldn’t help but gasp. He couldn’t believe his eyes when he looked at Gu Yang, shaking his head in disbelief.

“I’ve been blind and offended you. I beg your pardon.”

He deeply bowed to Gu Yang, his tone reaching the utmost respect.
