I'm the only player

Chapter 384 [Mission Completed]

The next day, Li Li, who was still asleep, got up in a hurry after receiving a notice from the housekeeper. He didn't even bother to wash up and went to the fish pen.

When he arrived at his destination, he found that the other two managers who were competing with him for the position of shopkeeper appeared side by side. The two of them were talking as they walked, and their conversation reached his ears.

"What happened? Early in the morning, my housekeeper said that the head of our fishing hall suddenly ran to the fish pen in Qingyu Town and said that he had an important announcement."

"Hey, it's more than that. The servant in charge of buying groceries in my house said that he saw our shopkeeper's carriage heading towards the fish market at dawn. Could it be that the shopkeeper's position has been found?"

The two managers walked into the fish pen, talking to each other.

The two of them were competing for the position of shopkeeper, which was a healthy competition, as people tend to move to higher places and water flows to lower places. However, the one with the surname Li was an exception.

It can be said that the entire fish pen dislikes Manager Li. This is because he likes to eat alone and is very harsh to his subordinates. Even the other two managers have been picked on by him when they have not conflicted with him on some matters.

It's like a toad that doesn't bite, but it annoys people.

This is also the reason why Li Li insisted on fighting for the position of shopkeeper.

If either of them comes to power, he will definitely suffer the consequences.

You really can't do without fighting.

"Master Zhang! Shopkeeper Liu!"

The three of them entered the main hall in the backyard of the fish pen, which was where the three managers worked. However, the fishy smell from the fish pen was too strong, so they were unwilling to work here.

The same is true for Shopkeeper Liu, otherwise the other three managers would not dare to work from home easily.

"I am here today to announce something important. From now on, Chief Liu will have to retire early to take care of his parents because they are seriously ill."

Hearing this, the three of them suddenly stopped breathing.

Isn't it the end of the year?

Damn it, if I had known that we would have to raise so much money in advance, I would have sent the collected money to Manager Liu’s house earlier.

"As for the new shopkeeper..."

The three of them held their breath, waiting for the result.

"It will be held by He Sheng from Xiaoyu Village!"

Li Li was stunned for a moment, Master, are you serious?

Congratulations on the victory?

Is that the person I know?

Xiaoyu Village, you can’t go wrong.

The directionality is too obvious.

The next second, He Sheng himself walked out from behind the screen, wearing the iconic clothes that only the leader of the Giant Whale Sect could wear, and bowed to the three managers.

"In the future, I hope the three stewards will have a pleasant cooperation."

Manager Li felt like he was struck by a bolt from the blue and was almost killed on the spot.

"Because He Sheng contributed a lot in offering ice, and because he was born in a fishing village and invented the bronze mirror array fishing method, the sect leader hereby appoints him as the chief of the fish pen in Qingyu Town."

The Giant Whale Sect has many industries, for example, the branch that manages the fish trade is called the Fishing Branch. However, since there is no need to practice martial arts, and because harmony brings wealth, people outside prefer to call the leaders "shopkeepers".

"Lord."

Manager Li watched helplessly as the fishing village boy who he could have strangled to death at will yesterday suddenly climbed over his head and shouted with an unwilling look on his face.

But, he hadn't finished speaking.

The head of the fishing hall suddenly widened his eyes.

In an instant, Li Li felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious tiger. It seemed that as long as he continued to speak, he would suffer a disaster in the next second.

"Who dares to disobey the Sect Master's appointment? Not to mention that you are just a manager, your status is only above the official members of the sect. Even if I am a hall master, if I dare to say anything, do you believe that the people from the Punishment Hall will come to your house and take you away immediately and punish you according to the family law?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Li remained completely silent.

"He Sheng, work hard. I know everything you have done. As the shopkeeper, you will give all the dirty work to the three of them. As for you, practice martial arts well. Once you have mastered martial arts, when I retire in the future, the position of the head of the fishing hall will definitely be yours."

It's no wonder that the head of the fishing hall treated He well, because the saltpeter ice making method brought huge benefits. When he retired from the position of head of the hall, his pension would only increase, not decrease.

How can you not smile at someone who can bring you real money?

Moreover, he felt that the boy from the fishing village was a big shot.

Normal people are aware of the huge profits brought by the saltpeter ice making method. Even if you want to offer it, you have to think carefully about whether you will be killed.

As a result, the young boy dared to take the risk and take it out!
In this case, how can he not be considered a character?

You ask why you are so sure it was donated by the other party?

Isn't it obvious? Wang Xiao has been in the Qingyu Town martial arts hall for many years. If he knew how to make ice with saltpeter, he would have used it long ago. He wouldn't be so miserable, waiting for the leaders of the various halls to become vacant, and then continue to be a teacher in the martial arts hall.

Anyone with a discerning eye would know who invented the saltpeter ice making method. Not only did he know it, but the sect leader and his gang were also aware of it. Otherwise, for a mere extra to be equal to the big boss of the fishing hall, wouldn't that be a foolish dream?

In fact, it was purely a misunderstanding by the head of Yutang.

The man surnamed He was outside the dungeon and knew that the Giant Whale Sect had some unclear relations with the two major cultivators. Otherwise, he would still take the risk, but the risk of silencing him would be greatly increased.

Facts have proved that his choice was correct.

The Giant Whale Sect not only has ties with the two major cultivator forces, but also has close ties with the dignitaries of Sanshui City. Most of the money from making ice is in their pockets, so there is no reason to silence a few people.

"Master, when will Brother Wang take office?"

"Tomorrow, he will have to take up his post at the headquarters."

He Sheng nodded, and the two brothers had to have a drink in the evening.

"???"

Li Li'er was confused. That kid Wang Xiao wanted to go and fight any big boss in the headquarters?
Damn, a big boss of a fish market is not someone he can afford to offend. Even though he is a martial arts master, his actual fighting ability is such that he can defeat any boss in the city, no matter how high his rank is.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to stay in Qingyu Town and be a manager whose status is lower than that of the leader and only above the official disciples.

Here comes another one, Wang Xiao, who can be the big boss in the headquarters. Isn't that a double sword joining forces?

What can he use to stop it?

"I'm leaving now, do your best."

The head of the fishing hall left, and the shopkeeper Liu next to him took the newly appointed head of the fish pen to understand in detail what needed to be done every day, every month, and every year.

It was not until the evening that Manager Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, now that I have explained everything, I can finally go back to Sanshui City to take care of my parents."

Then, he left the fish pen and set off in a carriage without any reluctance.

He Sheng sat in the main seat, and the strong fishy smell at his nose now seemed slightly sweet.

"The shopkeeper's."

Outside the door, the voice of one of the three stewards was heard.

"come in."

As soon as the words came out, three figures slowly entered the room.

"Boss, this is my gift to celebrate your inauguration."

He reached out to take it and took a look, and it turned out to be the title deed to Qingyu Town.

"When the old shopkeeper returned to Sanshui City, the mansion that the town had purchased was bought by our two brothers. In addition, there was another gift."

Then he took out a banknote. "One thousand taels? That's quite generous."

"Of course, of course. We are two brothers. We had thought about it at the beginning and worked together to take the position of shopkeeper. Who would have thought that someone would come to us halfway. "

In response, he just waved his hand and stopped the manager from speaking any further.

Li Li, who was standing aside, had an ugly look on his face.

You two work together?

How strong would it be for me to fight against the two of you alone?
If the silver you take out today is less than the old shopkeeper's + one thousand taels of silver notes, you will be in trouble in the future.

Damn, you two are so disgusting. You didn’t forget to cheat me when you gave me gifts.

"Shopkeeper, I didn't buy the old shopkeeper's mansion in time. But, the gift will definitely not be small." After saying that, he gritted his teeth and took out three silver bills.

Take it, each silver note is five hundred taels.

One thousand five hundred taels!!
The three managers also need to show respect to their superiors, or to show respect to the departed shopkeeper Liu. Li Li was able to take out 1,500 taels, which can be attributed to his current shopkeeper.

Of course, in just over a month, the money earned was definitely not as much as imagined. According to the previous situation, Manager Li was so anxious to make money, and it was estimated that the other party might have sold a lot of property in the afternoon.

After all, the money paid by the other two managers, including the land deeds, was at most 1,200 taels, which was equivalent to 600 taels per person.

You are smart! !
If Manager Li showed any stinginess, he would be prepared to make things difficult for him.

"alright."

Upon hearing this, Manager Li heaved a sigh of relief.

"Everything is normal. By the way, Xiao Li, take good care of my business, otherwise I will break your legs." Yesterday, Manager Li said it was his business, and today the situation has changed and the business has become his again.

"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the shopkeeper's business."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Wait a minute."

"You say."

Manager Li turned back hurriedly and said with a flattering look on his face.

"Chop up all of Gao Yuba's former subordinates from Xiaoyu Village and feed them to the fish."

He has not forgotten the original owner's deep hatred.

At that time, the fishing tyrant did not deal with them immediately because of a lack of manpower. Now that I have climbed to the position of the big boss of the fishing hall, it is time for those people to die.

"Chop it carefully, I'll check it."

"Yes, yes, don't worry. I will do it with absolute care and make sure they die in agony." Manager Li was hoping that He would assign him more tasks so that he could do them beautifully and improve his image.

"Well, you can leave now."

"You're busy."

The remaining two managers stood there and watched the show.

I have to say it, I felt so happy in my heart.

"What exactly is the cause of the conflict between the three of you?"

"To the shopkeeper, Li Li is a man who is arrogant because of his talent. He relies on his martial arts skills and looks down on the two of us who are powerless. From the initial verbal dispute, it has all the way to the fight for the position of shopkeeper.

In the name of heaven and earth, shopkeeper, please judge for yourself. In our fishing hall, apart from the master who needs to practice martial arts, which of the remaining shopkeepers and managers needs to practice martial arts?
Yes, he is really good at martial arts, we admit that. But the problem is, he is a martial artist, but he was assigned by the Giant Whale Sect to be the manager of the fish pen. His martial arts skills are only at the level of a 3-legged cat at best, so why should he look down on others? "

Hearing this, He Sheng nodded.

Those who practice martial arts in the Giant Whale Sect are indeed superior to others.

Although the fishing troupe makes a lot of money, its status is lower than that of the troupes in the city.

"I don't care how you three fight, but you must not disrupt our business. We in the Giant Whale Sect have strict rules and harsh family laws. If the Punishment Court comes to your door because of your fight, don't say I won't protect you."

In the past month, Wang Xiao had told him a lot about the deeds of the Giant Whale Sect, which made him very wary of the Punishment Hall, which was independent of all other sects.

Logically speaking, the hall master is a very high-level figure, and even if he makes a mistake, he will be dealt with appropriately. At most, he will be fined three cups of wine.

However, unless the hall masters of all generations had particularly strong connections, every one of them would be taken away by the Punishment Hall and would never be seen again. It was no different from being missing.

Many people were discussing this secretly, and most people thought it was a secret execution. They killed the people and threw them into the sea. In a few days, there would be nothing but a pile of bones left.

If you happen to come across a sea fish with good teeth, not even a bone will be left.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper. We will never fight to that extent."

The three of them still had a tacit understanding and never thought of fighting to the death and attracting the evil stars from the Punishment Hall.

"I won't keep you two here. You'll stay at the fish farm for the night. Tomorrow, I have to go buy some furniture and other things."

"Boss, you can rest assured. Give us two brothers a day to make sure your mansion is decorated beautifully, with housekeepers, servants, maids, cooks, and everything else."

"Yes, yes, yes. Li Li gave us 1,500 taels. The gift we two brothers presented seems a bit meager. Why don't you give us a chance to show off our skills?"

He Sheng personally is very confident about his subordinates who want to improve.

"Okay, I can't stop you from making progress."

The two looked at each other and thought that the word "progress" was very well used.

When everyone left and he was the only one left in the room, he hurriedly checked the rewards for completing the task.

[Task ①, join the Giant Whale Sect. Completed! ]

【Reward: Extract???】

【Would you like to draw a random item? 】

【whether. 】

He looked at it carefully and sucked his teeth.

Wow, a round disc came into view, divided into several colors, each color occupied a different proportion. Gray sundries, worthless prizes occupied a full half.

The most valuable color, if you don't look closely, you can't even see the color on it. The slightly inferior gold, you can only see an almost imperceptible golden line.

"."

It’s really yours!

"I worked hard to complete the task, why shouldn't I draw?"

"May the Jade Emperor, the Three Pure Ones and the Four Heavenly Kings bless me and I will definitely draw something good."

He muttered to himself and recited a long string of names, all of which were well-known gods and immortals.

Then, I saw the pointer on the disk start to spin rapidly.

It turned slower and slower, and when the pointer stopped, he looked at the winning area.

"No, which area did it stop in?"

If you look closely, it seems to be the area with the golden thin line. If you open your eyes wider, it seems to be next to the golden thin line. Anyway, I am so anxious.

[Congratulations to the player, you won the Qianhuan (seven colors)!! ]

The two words "Qianhuan" sparkled with colorful and brilliant light.

"I copied it. Is it my luck?"
