Fire Monster

Chapter 15 Business Opportunities and Intelligence

Zhao Guanshan pondered for a second and looked around. As a skinny liberal arts student, he was indeed a bit out of place here. This little fat guy had been standing next to him before, and he must have had a similar idea after seeing him lavishly spending a large Taoist coin.

Unfortunately, he didn't have any connections and didn't want to waste too much energy on this.

So tell the truth.

"I understand your thoughts, but I'm sorry, I don't have what you call connections. I bought these energy storage spirit stones today for tomorrow's bounty."

After saying that, Zhao Guanshan walked straight out, and the little fat man was stunned for a moment, but then chased him out relentlessly.

"Brother, do you need a bodyguard to accept the bounty? How about I take you there? It's very dangerous for a liberal arts student to accept the bounty. I will only charge you ten small coins. This way you will be safe and make money."

"Are you short of money?" Zhao Guanshan glanced at this guy and suddenly something happened to him.

"Hey, who doesn't need money? Our military department is different from your liberal arts department. You just need to pass the assessment. Even if we pass the assessment, we still have to fight hard on the Imperial Seal Great Wall. If you don't lay a solid foundation and make sufficient preparations now, you will have no chance in the future." The little fat man sighed, and under his slightly immature face, there was a maturity and sophistication that could make people sigh.

Zhao Guanshan stopped and tossed the Dao Palace coin in his hand. "Let's not talk about tomorrow's reward for now, but I do have some questions I want to ask. Of course, there will be a reward."

The little fat man's eyes suddenly lit up, "One small coin for one question?"

"Don't dream. In the next half cockcrow time, you must tell me everything you know, and then this small coin will be yours."

"You're kidding! I don't have that much time to explain it to you."

The little fat guy was angry. How dare this skinny guy make fun of him!
Zhao Guanshan sneered, "Given your attitude, I doubt the sincerity of what you just said."

"What do you mean? You want to ask me to be your bodyguard! No problem, you ask and I answer. I promise to tell you everything I know." The little fat man immediately became excited again.

"What are the ways to make money here at Wuke?"

Zhao Guanshan asked immediately. He was going to transfer to the military department, so relevant intelligence information naturally needed to be collected in advance so that he could make a plan.

Even if he asked Yang Mao about this matter, he might not get a complete and comprehensive result. Instead, it would easily make Yang Mao angry and embarrassed. He didn't want to hurt his good brother's heart for the second time.

"Very little. Apart from taking on a bounty mission once a month, the rest is just reselling energy storage spirit stones or food to make a little money. It's not enough to make ends meet, otherwise why would I come to you, brother?"

"So, is there anything in Wuke that requires money? I want the most detailed information."

"Where to spend money? There are too many. Brother, are you going to start from here, or are there similar ways?" The fat man said as he looked at Zhao Guanshan, trying to find some clues, but unfortunately, he only saw an expressionless face.

This liberal arts guy is not easy to fool.

But for the sake of tomorrow's bodyguard business, he endured it.

"In the martial arts department, there are three places that are like bottomless pits. The first one is the marrow cleansing spirit liquid. The higher the quality, the better. Only by continuously taking the marrow cleansing spirit liquid can the impurities, hidden injuries, and hidden diseases in the body be continuously removed to strengthen the pure yang energy."

"Unfortunately, the Wuke Department only distributes one 80th-grade marrow cleansing liquid to each person every year. If you want more, you have to buy it yourself."

"The second one is to engrave your natal talisman on your body. There are five types of natal talismans: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Each type has different characteristics and advantages and disadvantages. However, each person can only engrave one, so it is a long process to test which natal talisman is most suitable for you."

"Starting from the second stage, the Taoist temple will give us a free test every year, but one time is not enough. As we age and practice Qigong, there will be deviations and changes, so we have to keep purchasing test materials ourselves."

"Only in this way can we finally determine which natal seal is most suitable for us."

"To be honest, this is giving me a headache right now. I'm about to graduate in half a year, and I haven't chosen my natal rune yet. This is driving me crazy." "Then there is one last expensive part, which is the testing of psychic weapons. There are many kinds of psychic weapons, and every martial arts apprentice has his or her own best attack method, so you can either leave it to fate or go to the training ground to rent psychic weapons to practice."

"Please tell me more about the testing materials for the natal seal."

Zhao Guanshan suddenly asked.

"Wait, brother, why are you asking so many questions? You don't want to transfer to the military department, do you? Haha, then you might be disappointed." The little fat man was a little gloating, but he had to admit that his judgment was quite accurate.

Zhao Guanshan had a blank expression on his face. "Details are important. That's why I can make a Dao Palace coin and you can't. Answer me."

"Okay! You have a point."

The fat boy blinked, looking quite respectful, and immediately stopped talking and began to explain in detail, from the testing materials needed for the five natal runes to the testing of psychic weapons. He talked for nearly an hour, and in the end he was so thirsty that his mouth was dry. Zhao Guanshan nodded with satisfaction and handed over the Taoist coin sincerely.

"My name is Zhao Guanshan. If I ever make a fortune in the future, I will definitely not forget you. By the way, what's your name?"

"Hey, my name is Song Lique, so tomorrow's bodyguard thing..."

"Deal! Meet here tomorrow morning."

Zhao Guanshan changed his mind at this moment, because compared to his good brother Yang Mao, who dreamed of inheriting his legacy, this guy who obviously had a more solid foundation, was more motivated, more mature and stable, and was more reassuring.

Of course, what really impressed him was the fat boy's understanding of military science. It was not rote memorization, but he had a clear understanding of it and was able to explain it systematically.

Regardless of whether he is in the humanities or the military, he should definitely be a top student.

What's more, he already has several plans at the moment, all of which require cooperation with this guy.

Even if I switch to the military science department next, this person can be a good guide + helper, the kind that can be lured with benefits.

If it were Yang Mao, he would only ask Zhao Guanshan when he would die!

"That's great, Brother Zhao, you're a smart man! Leave the bounty tomorrow to me and I'll make sure you return safely." The fat guy was so excited. To be honest, he was ready to be stood up and fleeced by this skinny guy, but he couldn't use force in the Taoist temple.

"Okay then, it's a deal."

Zhao Guanshan nodded and waved goodbye to the fat boy, but it was not until he turned around that a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It's a good deal. Who would have thought that the materials needed to test the compatibility of five natal seals with the body in the martial arts department are all related to the one hundred dangerous materials in the third course of the liberal arts department.

Although they are only semi-finished products and still need to be prepared with other materials, this is huge good news for him.

Because compared to students studying military science, he, as a student studying liberal arts, is already halfway to success.

"So the cooperation with this Fatty Song needs to continue to deepen."

While thinking, Zhao Guanshan also recalled all the contents that the fat boy had just described. Combining it with the knowledge he had learned in liberal arts, he had a more complete and systematic overview in a short time.

Thanks to the fusion of his two souls, his memory has almost reached the level of photographic memory.

To put it bluntly, his current understanding of martial arts may not be as profound as those of martial arts students, but in broader areas, he is definitely much better.
