Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Zuo Chang carefully put away the gold coins, then put away the money box and the portrait on the table, and turned to say, "Let's go out. Twenty gold coins are far from enough. I need more molten gold bricks."

Chapter 117 Captain Li's luck has never been good.

The dungeon that produces Shining Gold Bricks is now deserted because it's not profitable at all.

To change the situation, simply post a quest at the Adventurers' Guild, offering to buy Shining Gold Bricks at a high price. Adventurers who find it profitable will immediately return to collect Shining Gold Bricks.

Isn't that seven million cheque that Kumarajiva sent us the one we're using now?

The only problem is...

Qian Wuyi is definitely paying attention to Zuo Chang and Blood Rose's activities.

He may not have sent anyone to follow him, but he is, after all, the city lord. He would definitely receive the news immediately when Zuo Chang went to the association to place a commission.

After a moment's thought, Zuo Chang decided it was better not to go himself and to find someone else to do it.

He looked at Blood Rose and asked, "Have you made any friends in 96511?"

Blood Rose blinked: "I have a good relationship with Kumara. We'll nod to each other if we bump into each other on the street."

“…Except him.”

"General, I don't like socializing. I prefer being alone to being in a crowd."

Every time he sees the seal, memories of his childhood come flooding back to him.

Zuo Chang had no objection.

A few breaths later, a jade-green seal appeared in his palm.

That's true.

Blood Rose stared wide-eyed at the unshaven man before her, her mouth agape.

But there's no rush. The Gold Rush Land dungeon is quite short; a strong adventure team can clear it in six or seven hours. Black Goat doesn't start for another forty-odd hours, so there's plenty of time.

Captain Li, disheartened, recounted the events in detail.

He got straight to the point, saying, "Captain Li, I have a favor to ask of you. Could you help me post a quest at the Adventurers' Guild? I'd like to collect a few kilograms of molten gold bricks, and the reward is already prepared."

Zuo Chang found the address and, led by Blood Rose, arrived at Captain Li's residence.

Quite suddenly, Li Bo sighed heavily!

Li Bo smiled slightly and said, "Don't know what this is? Let me tell you! This is the General's Seal. I am... one of the participants in the Black Goat's Gift Game."

After exchanging drinks, Li Bo mysteriously announced that he had received a windfall and therefore resigned.

"Ugh!"

Li Bo shook his head repeatedly, seemingly wanting to say something but stopping himself.

He asked: "What's wrong?"

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that something had gone wrong.

He went up to the second floor and knocked on the door. A moment later, a dejected Captain Li appeared behind the door.

Captain Li shook his head in distress.

"Ugh."

Without hesitation, Zuo Chang said, "Captain Li, how about... I take the blame for you?"

Zuo Chang really didn't want to stay in such a place any longer.

"I've always had bad luck. But I never imagined it would be this bad!"

Zuo Chang asked, "How come I don't understand?"

An old residential building.

Upon hearing this, Captain Li nodded and said, "That's no problem! I was just about to head out anyway, let's go together."

Young Li Bo looked completely bewildered.

The divine runes emitted a brilliant light, which slowly faded.

Zuo Changping's face suddenly contorted as he stared at the seal, exclaiming in astonishment, "This is—"

Zuo Chang and Xue Qiangwei exchanged a glance, both seeing doubt in each other's eyes.

"It's a bit messy, sorry. Please sit down, make yourself at home!" Li Bo forced a smile. "Zuo Chang, how did your exam go?"

Now is the perfect time to go and take a look.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out the odor was coming from Captain Li!

"How can you do this! It's dangerous!"

His brother was surprised by his arrival and cooked a feast to welcome him.

Zuo Chang remained calm and asked, "Captain Li, what do you plan to do now?"

After Captain Li finished explaining the whole story, he cursed, "I don't know which bastard who gave birth to a son without an anus actually started such a heinous game of bestowing favors!"

He first glanced at the exceptionally beautiful Blood Rose, then looked at Zuo Chang, forcing a smile: "Zuo Chang, you've returned to Heavenly King City?"

He really was a brother. That very night, while Li Bo was fast asleep and drunk, this guy not only stole the Iron Gallbladder, but also swept away all of Li Bo's savings and fled far away with his family overnight!

Li Bo turned to look at him.

Captain Li is indeed...

The air in the room was stuffy and had a faint odor. The room was extremely messy, practically a complete mess, with not even a clean place to step.

When Zuo Chang parted ways with Captain Li in Qushui Town, Captain Li gave him an address and invited him to visit.

It was a bright and sunny afternoon when his father handed the general's seal to Li Bo and solemnly admonished him, "Bo, your brother is not talented enough, so this general's seal can only be passed on to you... Your talent may not be enough either, but you must pass the seal down from generation to generation until our descendants establish a great community."

Time has passed, and my father's judgment was correct.

Blood Rose's brow twitched, and a hint of hostility crept into her gaze as she looked at Captain Li.

"I have no idea……"

Overwhelmed with grief, he slumped into a chair and said inexplicably, "It really proves the old saying, 'Wealth has always been a powerful motivator!'"

Zuo Chang nodded: "I've been back for a few days. I had some free time today, so I came to visit."

Captain Li Bo.

No talent.

Captain Li opened the door and invited Zuo Chang and Xue Qiangwei in.

His face was filled with confusion as he said, "It's hard for me to accept giving up the General's Seal. After all, it's a family heirloom, how can I let it be lost in my hands? But I'm only at the third realm, how can I survive in the Black Goat? My opponents are all the strongest in this world at the seventh realm!"

He looked at Zuo Chang and said, "We're all family, why is it like this? He's my own brother, how could I abandon him? Even if he asked me to share half with him, I wouldn't have refused... Why did you flee in the middle of the night!"

As he spoke, tears welled up in Li Bo's eyes, and he sighed again.

Ok.

Not only do they lack talent, but they may also face utter destruction!

He could only say, "Every cloud has a silver lining. Spending millions to see through someone is a bit of a price to pay, but at least it's not a complete loss, is it?"

This man was unshaven and looked very different from the last time we met; I wonder how long it had been since he'd had a bath.

Zuo Chang continued, "Give me the general's seal first, and I'll go to the 'Black Goat' in your place. If I survive, the general's seal will be returned to its rightful owner; if I die, it's just fate, and I won't blame you."

Li Bo raised his hand, and a divine mark slowly appeared on the back of his hand.

After parting ways with Zuo Chang and Li Zhi that day, Li Bo went to Tianwang City to stay with his relative—his older brother.

"..."

Zuo Chang frowned as soon as he entered the door.

"Oh... welcome, welcome."

He asked, "Captain Li, what's bothering you? You don't seem to be doing well."

"The exam went smoothly, and I received the certificate."

"You don't understand! Zuo Chang, you don't understand!"

Zuo Chang didn't know what to say.

His father placed the seal in his hand and said, "Whether the Li family prospers depends on you!"

Zuo Chang thought for a moment and then thought of someone—

At this moment, Zuo Chang finally understood why Captain Li looked so dejected!

Li Bo possesses a general's seal that has been passed down through generations.

His brother was just an ordinary citizen who earned only 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a year. When had he ever seen a rare treasure worth millions?

He had no reservations in front of his older brother, not only recounting the whole story in detail but also showing his brother the iron will—

Captain Li handed the general's seal to Zuo Chang.

With a solemn expression, he said, "Zuo Chang, if you come back alive, you must return the general's seal to me. This is our agreement."

"……certainly."

Zuo Chang looked at the general's seal that was forcibly shoved into his hand, feeling slightly uneasy.

Chapter 118 The Heavenly Gift Technique and the Saintess of Time

The fact that Zuo Chang obtained the last general's seal so easily was something he hadn't expected.

Kumo Lie said he was going to the Giant Shield Escort to find someone, and it turned out he was looking for Captain Li!

On the other side, Captain Li also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was completely overwhelmed and had no idea what to do.

Before Zuo Chang arrived, he was planning to go to the city lord's mansion to try to offer the general's seal to Qian Wuyi and see if he could get some benefits in return.

He understood it in his heart.
