"call···"

Looking at the information displayed on the panel, Chen Qiye let out a long sigh.

After dealing with the matters of the Bai family and the Inspection Institute, he had more time to practice martial arts.

If it wasn't necessary, he would basically spend most of his time every day improving his skill levels. After a month of hard work, although his strength was still in the seventh-grade range, Chen Qiye also roughly estimated the time for his breakthrough during this month.

It may take about a year to break through to the ninth rank. As for the ninth rank or even the grandmaster, judging from the current situation, if there is no superior technique, it is estimated that even if the Xingyun Gong is practiced to the maximum level, it cannot be achieved.

The Xingyun Gong may only be able to last up to the ninth level. Maybe you can break through it by practicing slowly, but it will take a lot more time.

Because the strength-enhancing effect brought by the cheat code is only effective when the skills can be upgraded.

Without upgrade space, it is equivalent to having no golden finger bonus. If there is no other skill blessing, even if you practice Xingyun Gong to perfection, you will most likely not reach the grandmaster level.

Moreover, more and more experience will be required later. Even if the upper limit of the level of Xingyun Gong is increased, the experience increase provided by Xingyun Gong is not enough when it reaches a high level.

It seems that he has to start planning how to obtain the temple skills.

But at least one has to become a ninth-rank archer to go to Kyoto.

With the various skills of his golden finger, Chen Qiye believed that when he broke through to the ninth rank, he should not be worse than Yan Xiaoyi, the only ninth rank archer in the world, and might even be stronger. That is, there would be nothing to be afraid of as long as the grandmaster did not take action.

From this perspective, it seems to be possible.

Although it is a bit risky, but as the saying goes, fortune and wealth are sought in danger. Without trying, how can I become a grandmaster and be the best in the world?

If you really work hard, maybe you reach the grandmaster after reaching 40, 50, 60 or 70 years, then it seems like there is no point in that.

By this calculation, one year later would be the time to officially enter Kyoto.

Chen Qiye thought about it carefully for a few days and still felt that he should make some preparations in advance, so as not to go to Kyoto rashly and then wander around in confusion, not knowing where to start.

He suddenly thought of someone, that was Ye Dan, a side branch relative of the Ye family whom he had accepted as his younger brother.

Although this person has no relationship with the Ye family, he has been in Kyoto after all, and it is said that he has been doing a good job under Ye Renxin recently. This relationship should be able to be utilized.

So Chen Qiye asked someone to notify Ye Dan and ask him to come to his house.

The living room of the Chen Mansion.

Chen Qiye drank quietly and waited for Ye Dan to arrive.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Dan, dressed in plain clothes, finally arrived, exhausted.

He raised his hand and saluted respectfully, "Brother Chen."

Chen Qiye raised his hand: "Please sit down. You look like you are doing something. Did I bother you by asking you to come over?" Ye Dan walked over and sat down, shaking his head to indicate that it was okay.

"I was indeed doing some work for Lord Ye just now, but they were all unimportant chores. Lord Ye knew that it was you, Brother Chen, who was looking for me, so he took the initiative to ask me to come over."

"Brother Chen's reputation has been well-known recently. Lord Ye originally wanted me to help him win over Brother Chen, but now Lord Ye can no longer make the decision, because Brother Chen's current reputation is not something that ordinary people can afford."

"It's been two months, and you haven't looked for me. I thought you had forgotten me. When I heard that you were looking for me today, I wanted to fly over here."

Ye Dan became more and more excited as he spoke.

He was extremely grateful for his action in the beginning and worshipped this young man who was seven or eight years younger than him as his elder brother. Only two months had passed, and the Chen family had transformed into the largest family in Lezhou under the leadership of Chen Qiye. Moreover, Chen Qiye himself was a seventh-rank archer and a well-known warrior in the world. How could he not be excited to bet on such a person in advance?

Chen Qiye never looked for him, and he was sad for a long time, thinking that the other party didn't like him at all.

Unexpectedly, good news came out of the blue today. His elder brother needed him and sent someone to tell him that he had something to discuss with him. When Ye Dan got the news, he was extremely excited.

"Don't get excited yet, drink some tea and calm down."

Chen Qiye looked at him with a helpless look and pointed at the tea on the table.

"Good good."

Ye Dan poured himself a cup of tea and drank it to calm his excitement.

After a while, Chen Qiye said, "Xiao Dan, if I ask you to help me do something, but I may have to leave Lezhou, are you willing?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Dan patted his chest without a second thought and said, "Brother Chen has given my orders. I will go through fire and water..."

"Stop, stop, stop, it's not that serious."

This guy is also a funny guy, Chen Qiye discovered.

"Ahem, I heard that you stayed in Kyoto for a while. Do you have any connections in Kyoto?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Dan scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Well... that... Haha, Brother Chen, to be honest, if someone else asked me this question, I could still brag about it."

"But I feel embarrassed to brag to you, Brother Chen."

"I did stay in Kyoto for a while, but I just spent some time there to make a living. I don't have any connections to speak of. I just met some like-minded friends, or to put it bluntly, they were just bad friends."

Chen Qiye nodded: "That's enough, as long as there's someone I know."

He had never expected Ye Dan to have any connections. As long as he was familiar with Kyoto and had some friends who loved eating, drinking, gambling and whoring in Kyoto, that would be enough.

Chen Qiye took out two thousand taels of silver and placed them on the table and knocked on them.

"What I want you to do is very simple. Just leave for Kyoto in the next few days and develop relationships. There is no specific level you must achieve. Just do your best."

"I'll tell you in detail what direction it will develop in later."

"These two thousand taels are your start-up capital. I will also go to Kyoto in a year. Letting you go is to lay a good foundation for me before I go to Kyoto."

"If you are willing to do this for me, you can take this banknote."

"Of course, I won't force you to do it if you don't want to, and I won't think too much about it. If you have a family in Lezhou, it's really not good to be away from home for too long."

Ye Dan immediately stood up, took the banknote, then bowed solemnly.

"Don't worry, big brother. I will never let you down."

"Don't you want to consider it?"

"No need. It is my honor to work for you, big brother. I am so happy that I have no time to think about it. Besides, big brother trusts me. I will give you two thousand taels immediately. Just because of this trust, I cannot refuse."

This Brother Chen has directly become the big brother. Chen Qiye didn't expect that giving some start-up capital could move people.
