Chapter XII: Collection of Protection Fees
Boss Liu is the bald head who was beaten by Xiao Ke the day before yesterday.
Since that beating, Xiao Ke has become his nightmare, quite a sense of being bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope.
As the saying goes, those who are horizontal are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of dying.
Boss Liu is just a gangster who has a mysterious distant cousin behind him, at best, he is a horizontal person, and he has been rampant in the miscellaneous activity center for many years, so he can only intimidate those little rookies who have no knowledge and courage.
He originally thought that Xiao Ke was also a rookie, at best, a little rooster who would always crow, so he dared to go to the second mountain gate to make trouble.
It's just that he didn't expect that Xiao Ke was a wolf in sheep's clothing, docile on the outside, and ruthless on the inside, the beating the day before yesterday, he now recalled it, and his back was cold.
"Whew!"
"What a plague god!"
Boss Liu let out a sigh of relief, wiped his face after muttering to himself, took out a money bag from his arms with a smile, walked to Xiao Ke's face, put it down, and said flatteringly: "Big brother, I've been busy these days, I forgot, you spend this money first, and then say hello when it's not enough." ”
Xiao Ke glanced at the money bag with his spare eyes, and ate his noodles without saying a word.
Boss Liu was at a loss, embarrassed for a while, stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, accepted the money, and didn't speak, what does this mean?
Boss Liu scratched his head, turned around and found the unlucky brother duo who were still clubbing listlessly at the door, and knew what the problem was.
Attached to Xiao Ke's ear, he whispered: "Big brother, these two ......."
Boss Liu's words don't need to be finished, Xiao Ke knows what he means, as long as he nods his head, these two unlucky ghosts either have broken hands or broken feet, and they want people's hands and feet at every turn, take people's lives, and insult people's things Xiao disdains to do, and even more disdains to borrow other people's hands to do it.
He knew that Boss Liu had misunderstood the meaning of not speaking, and Boss Liu thought that he didn't speak because the unlucky brother duo hired Boss Liu to seek revenge, but in fact, he didn't speak purely because he didn't want to speak, he was hungry, he had to eat, and he had to talk about it.
But the scene in front of him was very embarrassing by Liu Guangtou, and if he didn't take care of it clearly, this meal must be unstable.
It's just that how to cook it appropriately, Xiao Ke's temper must be the simplest and best.
immediately interrupted Liu Laodao: "Let them go, and you guys will roll together." ”
After listening, Boss Liu was a little stunned, this matter is over, the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, it shouldn't be.
I just don't understand, what can I do if I don't understand, everyone else has opened Chrysostom and let me go, do I still have to stay here and find it uncomfortable.
"Big brother, if you have something to do in the future, just tell me!"
With a few words, he beckoned his brothers and two unlucky employers to run out of the store, and walked a mile in one breath before squatting in a corner to rest.
"Big brother, why are you running, we have more than a dozen people up and down, can't we beat that little thin man?
A junior brother was very dissatisfied.
Boss Liu patted his bald head, squinted his eyes and scolded: "Are you a pig, I don't have a little bit in my heart, just our three-legged cat's fighting level is not enough for people to slap in the face, and labor and management have a hunch, that kid's strength seems to have grown a lot, and it seems that he has succeeded in refining qi." ”
"Ah??!!! I succeeded in refining qi?!! big brother, don't scare me, my feet are weak." ”
The younger brothers were taken aback, the unlucky brother duo almost urinated again, what is the concept of successful qi refining, not only can they become outer disciples to practice martial arts and combat skills, but most importantly, others are already regarded as stepping into the immortal path with one toe, and they are mortals who are no longer creatures of the same level at all.
"Nonsense, labor and management condensed a sense of qi a few days ago, I smelled the same smell in him as those outer disciples who drank with us, it can't be wrong, it is definitely the smell of aura, alas, what a good life this kid is, why don't labor and management have it. ”
Different from his younger brothers, Boss Liu is a person with great ambitions, he not only hates Xiao Ke, but also has envy, jealousy and hatred for Xiao Ke who succeeded in refining qi so quickly.
"Then, shouldn't we settle this revenge?"
There is a little brother who is very self-aware, since he can't win anymore, then forget it.
"No! Absolutely not!"
"Big brother, this kid is too arrogant, in time, there will be no place for us to live, or else, please ask our cousin to come out?
The younger brother was very strong and cautiously proposed.
Boss Liu wiped the sweat on his face, and said helplessly: "Wait a little longer, I have already asked someone to go to the outer gate to find my cousin, and by the way, I also sent a hundred taels of gold, no matter what I say this time, my cousin will go down the mountain, this kid is a grasshopper after the autumn, and he won't be able to jump for a few days." ”
"Hahaha, our cousin really gives face!"
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm going to make that kid kneel on the ground and beg me"
Hearing that there were outer disciples who were going down the mountain to clean up Xiao Ke, the faces of the dozen or so people squatting in the corner of the wall were obviously much better, and the panic about the Qi Refining Stage cultivator just now was gone.
In their eyes, a miscellaneous servant who has just succeeded in refining qi is indeed something they are not capable of provoking, but in the face of an outer disciple, even if he is beaten with iron, he is just a naughty, and it is impossible to compare with the outer disciple who has mastered a few immortal methods.
Their eyes lit up, and before the outer disciples and Xiao Ke fought, they had already seen that Xiao Ke was repaired very miserably by the outer disciples, kneeling on the ground with a handful of snot and tears and calling grandpa to call his father to beg for mercy.
Boss Liu's group of people are hilarious, of course Xiao Ke doesn't know, and he is not interested in knowing, he is obsessed with one thing in front of him, that is, hanging accounts.
After eating and drinking enough in the store, he was stunned and asked for back the silver that Boss Liu had thrown on the counter, and then hung the money for this meal on Elder Bai's account.
In his words, he is an employee of Elder Bai, and it doesn't matter if the leader doesn't pay his salary, he must have food and shelter.
He was full of wine and food, and he felt that now that he had succeeded in refining qi, he also had to be equipped with a good sword to plan for the future flight of the imperial sword.
Therefore, he hung up the account of a fine iron sword again, and the reason was employee welfare.
With a sword, how can there be no scabbard? What, you said that the matching gift, a wooden sleeve, Xiao Ke does not want it, and must hang a noble model inlaid with gems to be worthy of a fine iron sword.
After some operation, Elder Bai's account had an extra expenditure of more than 1,000 taels of silver, in this regard, Xiao Ke had already thought of Elder Bai's expression of blowing his beard and glaring after learning the facts, he felt that it was very cool, a boss dared not to pay wages to employees, and he had to be cured.
Back at the book club, the third floor was still in ruins and was blown up by him.
Can't go, without hesitation, Shook went to the second floor.
He was going to find a few elementary books on pharmacology, alchemy, refining tools, and talisman making to read, the Holy Spirit Continent was very large, and the monk was a money-burning profession, so he felt that it was necessary to master one or two side jobs to make some mistakes.
Moreover, having a side business skill is the standard for almost every monk, such as alchemy, refining, and talisman making, these side jobs are not only meager, but also very helpful to their own growth.
Take the side business of an alchemist as an example, the income obtained from refining a pill is more than ten times that of the raw materials, and the income of some rare pills can even reach a hundred times and a thousand times.
To paraphrase a saying about exchanging antiques, it will not open for three years, and it will be open for three years.
This sentence is almost also applicable to those top alchemists, they are all easy not to open the furnace for alchemy, once the road is opened for alchemy, the news leaks out, and the threshold of the family will be trampled by those who ask for pills.
In addition to the income, this pill must be able to be taken by yourself, although the disciples of the outer sect of the Qingcheng Sect have three Gathering Spirit Pills a month, one pill is indeed worth ten days of penance for ordinary qualified disciples, but if you take a bite, you will not have one pill for one night, and three pills will be eaten for three days at most, and after eating, you can only sit and meditate and practice, which is better than those disciples who can refine the pill and eat the pill as a meal every day.
When I came to the second floor of the book club, I found that the entrance door was closed, and there were still two door gods like black towers standing at the door.
The two of them wore black uniforms, with iron swords hanging around their waists, and the waist tag was not the same wooden sign as the miscellaneous disciples, but an iron sign with black and red letters.
"Outer disciple?"
Xiao Ke's outfit is unique to the outer disciples, but I'm not afraid, but I wonder in my heart, the outer disciples run the track miscellaneous activity center, and there are two, two of them watch the door together, there should be a lot of characters in this door?
There is nothing to be afraid of, Xiao Ke thought that he was going to a legal place to read books legally, what about the outer disciples, did they dare to beat people indiscriminately and at will.
Besides, although he is a miscellaneous servant, he has the iron waist card of the bookclub manager given by Elder Bai on his waist, which is equivalent to the owner of the bookclub, when will he go back to his home with fear?
"Ahem!"
In order to avoid embarrassment, Xiao Ke coughed twice before walking straight to the door.
"Stop!"
"Wait or retreat!"
Before he reached the door, the two outer disciples in front of the door greeted him from left and right, each stretching out a hand to block Xiao Ke.
"It's a bit rushed, are the outer disciples all like this?"
Xiao Ke was not happy, the young man's temper came up at once, he didn't want anything, he lifted the waist card on his body and shook it, and replied: "Get out of the way, I'm the administrator!"
"Administrator?"
The two outer disciples glanced at each other, and after exchanging glances, one of them obviously changed his attitude and said with a smile: "What is your relationship with Elder Bai, he is always on duty at his old man on weekdays, if it is convenient, we two brothers want to take a look at your waist card, no problem, right?"
It seems to be a question, but it is actually an order, and an outer disciple has quietly walked behind Xiao Ke, waiting for an opportunity to act, it seems that as long as Xiao Ke dares to disobey, his sword will cut off Xiao Ke's neck.
