Chapter 830 - So Difficult to Make Money



Chapter 830: So Difficult to Make Money

“What bad luck!”

The people cursed and walked towards the small town.

At first glance, the small town was not much different from ancient Huaxia. Tang Hao thought that he had arrived at a film set.

The people dressed in ancient clothes looked like background extras.

“Right! If we want to shoot a movie next time, we can come here! The location and props are perfect!” Tang Hao muttered.

Walking into the small town, Tang Hao looked around and found everything to be interesting.

The townspeople were dressed plainly, as though they did not care about their appearance. Tang Hao thought that all of them looked like farmers and laborers. Most of them were cultivators in the State of Qi Channeling, though there were a few Perfected Persons in the State of Foundation Establishment.

There were stalls and stores on both sides of the road. They sold animal parts as well as all types of pills.

Of course, there were also people selling wine, clothes, and even pawn shops.

Along the way, Zhao Liu introduced the stores to him.

“Brother Ri... No, Brother Tang, look at that shop. They sell fake medicine. Don’t buy from them. Last time, I bought a Rejuvenation Pill. F*ck! It was adulterated. It almost killed me.

“That store is another unscrupulous one. They mix their liquor with water, so it’s no fun to drink...

“That one, and that one over there... they’re all profiteers. You have to be careful!”

Tang Hao had a strange expression on his face when he heard that.

The town was quite big. After walking around, Tang Hao had a preliminary understanding of the situation.

The local currency was small crystals. They were actually spirit stones precisely cut into the size of fingernails.

The town was close to the forest, and most people relied on hunting animals and gathering herbs for a living.

For example, Zhao Liu often went into the mountains to hunt. If he was lucky, he could earn a few tens of crystals in a day. If he was unlucky, he could only return empty-handed. In a month, he usually made about four to five hundred crystals.

When he talked about it, Zhao Liu sighed and lamented that he was poor.

“Sigh! I’m so poor! I must be the poorest Perfected Person in the world. Look at those profiteers. They make a lot of money. Why am I so poor?”

He sighed.

Tang Hao was speechless.

If Zhao Liu was poor, then what was he? He did not even own a single crystal!

He asked Zhao Liu about the cultivation world outside, but Zhao Liu was not sure either. He was an unaffiliated cultivator, and he only managed to reach the State of Foundation Establishment because he had a fortuitous encounter.

All he said was that the world was very big, as though it had no boundaries.

Tang Hao was not surprised by that.

Earth was very small compared to the entire universe. The Sun itself is already a million times bigger than Earth, and there were too many celestial bodies that surpassed the Sun.

The largest celestial body in the Milky Way known to date was a trillion times the size of Earth. Tang Hao could not imagine how big it was.

After walking around, Zhao Liu said, “Let’s go and have a drink.”

They sat in a restaurant and were served a jar of liquor. Tang Hao took a sip and almost spat it out.

‘Damn! That was terrible!’

“What’s wrong, Brother Tang? Is it too strong? This is the most famous liquor here!” Zhao Liu said.

“It’s nothing. I drank it too quickly!” Tang Hao said hurriedly.

Tang Hao frowned after drinking a few mouthfuls. The liquor was far worse than divine liquor. After drinking divine liquor, he could not stomach other types of liquor at all.

‘This is a business opportunity!’ Tang Hao thought to himself.

However, this world was different from Huaxia. There was no law, and it was only survival of the fittest. He could not show off his goods that easily.

The jar of liquor cost one crystal. Zhao Liu seemed reluctant when he paid for it.

After they parted ways, Tang Hao walked around the town and saw many interesting things. They were all rare medicinal herbs that he had never seen on Earth before.

He wanted to buy everything, but he was so poor that he could not even afford a single leaf.

“Sigh, I’m so poor!”

Tang Hao looked up at the sky and sighed.

It had been a long time since he had experienced the feeling of being poor. He felt as though he had returned to his old poor self.

“What are you looking at, kid? Aren’t you ashamed that you’re not buying anything?”

“You have no money? Get lost if you don’t have money! Why are you still standing here?”

The shopkeepers glared at him and shouted impatiently.

“Your type is the worst. Why are you shopping if you can’t afford anything? Someone kick him out!”

Tang Hao left the store, feeling indignant.

He memorized the name of the store before he left.

‘Liu’s Pharmacy!’

The store not only sold medicinal herbs but also medicine.

“F*ck! You dare look down on the poor? I’ll bankrupt you sooner or later!” Tang Hao said angrily.

The desire to make money became stronger and stronger.

Money was a necessity no matter where he went. Without money, he could not do anything.

“But... how do I make money?”

Tang Hao was baffled.

After thinking for a long time, Tang Hao decided to go to the forest to take a look. He could make some money by hunting animals and picking herbs. If he had money, he could buy some medicinal herbs to make medicine.

He met many strange-looking wild beasts in the forest. They were very similar to Earth’s prehistoric creatures.

However, they were all exaggeratedly big.

Take iguanas for example. The iguanas on Earth were usually one to two meters long. Here, they were at least six meters long and looked especially ferocious.

Those were considered the smaller types. It was said that the large ones were dozens or even hundreds of meters long.

Furthermore, those were ordinary wild beasts. They were not considered spiritual monsters or exotic beasts. None of them had intelligence.

The qi in the atmosphere was relatively thick, and it had affected the growth of the wild beasts. Even mundane beasts were as strong as cultivators.

“Hey! Don’t run!”

Tang Hao was chasing a rabbit.

However, the so-called “rabbit” was as big as a pony, and it was extremely fast.

Tang Hao chased it for a long time, almost breaking his legs as he did so. He was cursing the rabbit to hell as he chased it.

He would have found something easier to do if not for the fact that he was poor and did not want to let go of any chance of making money.

He gritted his teeth and persevered. After chasing it for a full half an hour, he finally caught up with the rabbit and ruthlessly killed it.

“That’s for running away! I’m eating roast rabbit tonight!”

Tang Hao slaughtered it on the spot and roasted a rabbit leg. His mouth was full of grease after eating it.

The meat was not only fresh and tender, but it also nourished his qi. Of course, it could not be compared to the monsters he had eaten before.

After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, he saw that it was getting late. He dragged his catch for the day and returned to town.

“Hmm... I’ll give you five crystals for the three small iguanas. Is that OK?”

At the entrance of an animal parts store, the shopkeeper pointed at the five-meter-long lizards and said that.

“Only five crystals?” Tang Hao was surprised.

“How much more do you want? The meat is not delicious, and I can only sell the skin. How much do you think it’s worth? Five crystals is a lot. You can fetch four crystals at most at other places,” the shopkeeper muttered.

“OK! Five crystals it is!”

“The rabbit is not bad. It’s quite hard to catch. How about five crystals for that, for a total of ten crystals. Is that OK?” The shopkeeper pointed at the rabbit and said.

“OK!”

After receiving the money, Tang Hao left.
