People in America started by developing the Yellow Turban Army.

Finally, of course, we decided to go back to the small town!

Lin Zhiyong's small villa was his private place. Although the little girl Hathaway had an extraordinary name and looked young, she was still an outsider.

Even believers prompted by the system.

Moreover, after spending so many days in Los Angeles, Chen Ping'an has also come to understand some of the underlying dynamics here.

For example, when shopping, avoid crowded places, as you might encounter pickpockets or get robbed.

It's not that people wouldn't dare to rob you in broad daylight; it's just that you haven't been unlucky enough to run into them.

Just like the shooting incident that happened when Chen Ping'an got off the plane and went out for a meal with Lin Zhiyong, eating hot pot, he was both lucky and unlucky.

Luckily, it was a shooting incident, and no one was injured.

Some people are unlucky enough to encounter a shooting incident right after getting off the plane, but this kind of thing isn't actually that common.

In Lin Zhiyong's words, it's just like traffic accidents in China. Every year, tens of thousands of people are killed or injured in traffic accidents, but what are the chances that an ordinary person will see a traffic accident when they walk down the street?

Of course, this is just an example, because the same number of people die in traffic accidents in the United States every year.

Gun violence is a serious issue, with tens of thousands of people dying from shootings every year in the United States, which is why Lin Zhiyong used it as an analogy.

However, if you are robbed, or walking down the street, you can clearly see someone having their things stolen.

I also saw people being robbed.

It was daytime, on the streets of Los Angeles, even though it was relatively remote, but it was daytime!

In Lin Zhiyong's words, this kind of thing is very common in Los Angeles. If you have time to go to the black community, you will see the beautiful scene of black people buying things for free.

But most people don't usually go.

Because Black people can buy things from those shops for free, if they get excited, they might also buy things from you for free, or even you.

This isn't just something said to women; sometimes it's said to men too.

Like this little girl, nobody knows if she'll steal your valuables and run away at night if you take her in.

Or perhaps this is a different kind of spot-checking.

for example?

For example, the mansion of a certain Asian female celebrity in Los Angeles contained over $10 worth of gold jewelry and several watches worth tens of thousands of dollars. It was her hourly cleaner who scouted the place and then had her accomplices steal it.

Besides, this little girl isn't even considered one of his followers yet!

So the three of them drove directly to the abandoned mining town, which had been renamed in the county register and was now called Ping An Town.

The car was still parked in the only old tavern in Ping'an Town that had some rooms cleaned and tidied up.

The largest room is still quite messy and dusty, so we need to hire someone to clean it.

Hiring someone costs money.

Chen Ping'an's current capital doesn't seem to be very abundant. The $1 reward from the system, plus his original savings, doesn't exceed $3 in total.

Lin Zhiyong once gave me an idea.

"There's a common practice here in America: they specifically target undocumented immigrants to come here and work as construction teams doing renovations."

Negotiate the price with them, including labor and materials, and then let them do the work.

When the house was 90% finished and there was only half a day left before the wages were to be settled, someone anonymously reported the matter to the immigration bureau, the Department of Illegal Labor, and all other departments that manage illegal immigrants.

This way, these illegal workers will be arrested, since the materials and tools they bought with their own money belong to the homeowner.

However, this practice is rather unethical!

But it saves money, and you can even make money!

Chen Ping'an looked at his old classmate with some surprise, feeling embarrassed to stare at him.

Lin Zhiyong quickly defended himself, saying, "I've never done that. I was just saying it casually, and there are risks involved."

The United States has more than 50 states, and each state has different laws.

Some states have laws stipulating that if it is found that the homeowner intentionally reported the illegal workers in an attempt to evade their wages, the homeowner is liable.

And we found conclusive evidence to prove it.

In that case, he can't escape a serious crime!

Although this crime is practically meaningless in the United States, because people who want to renege on their debts are usually well-prepared and can easily circumvent this law.

However, every year, some people with only a superficial understanding of this crime are fined heavily or arrested and imprisoned for it.

Chen Ping'an came to America not to save money, but to make money and accumulate merit for cultivating immortality.

Of course, I wouldn't do something so despicable.

However, in Lin Zhiyong's plan...

If the talisman water in Chen Ping'an's hand were sold as wine, it would definitely be a hit. Who could resist the deep intoxication of the grain aroma after tasting it?

This is much better than alcohol, and it doesn't make you drunk or harm your health.

Once the publicity is out there, it will provide Chen Ping'an and Ping'an Town with a steady stream of cash flow.

Therefore, Chen Ping'an was not anxious at this moment.

He's not in a hurry; life is long.

Especially after acquiring the ancient book "Taiping Yaoshu," as long as he doesn't forcefully plot like Zhang Jiao and undermine the foundation of a powerful dynasty, thus incurring a backlash, Chen Ping'an might live for a very long time.

So life is long, and he's not in a hurry.

Get out of the car.

Lin Zhiyong ignored it all and quickly pushed open the door and went inside. He took out two large beer mugs from the cleaned bar counter, then suddenly scratched his head and took out another one.

"Sorry, Hathaway, I almost forgot about yours!"

Before the young girl Hathaway could answer, Lin Zhiyong had already picked up the bottled mineral water next to him and poured it into the beer mugs one by one.

Actually, Americans rarely use draft beer mugs in bars; those are usually used by Germans or people of East Asian descent.

Lin Zhiyong and Chen Pingan are both of East Asian descent, so drinking beer from a draft beer mug is definitely more enjoyable.

So after cleaning up the tavern, I bought a batch of them, and now it's just right.

After filling the three beer mugs with mineral water, Lin Zhiyong quickly looked up at Chen Ping'an.

"Hurry, hurry, I've been busy all day and I'm starving!"

The pizza at noon was unbearably sweet. After getting used to your talisman water, I can't stand eating anything so sweet anymore.

Damn Americans, their food is way too high in sugar!

My cup, I want it with a wheat flavor!

Chen Ping'an ignored Lin Zhiyong's complaints, but he did not refuse Lin's request to make the talisman water himself.

After all, they basically don't eat dinner these days.

Drinking one or two cups of talisman water is enough.

Being able to drink my fill, regain my strength, and even pick and choose my food if I'm in good health is better than the hometown dishes I cook myself with smoke and fire, which are barely palatable?

Chen Pingan threw out three talismans that he lit with a lighter. Along with the burning talismans, rice, wheat, red dates, and goji berries fell into the cup.

However, once the fire goes out and the ashes fall into the water and disappear, the water becomes clear.

Hathaway stared wide-eyed in disbelief. She had arrived late and missed seeing how Chen Ping'an and the other man made holy water for the homeless.

Now that I've seen it, it's a bit hard to accept.

"So, I'm going to drink this... thing?"
