However, now that this is clear, it is not too late, and Wu Qi thought of this, and his mood calmed down again. At the same time, his gaze became firm, and he secretly made up his mind that he must rely on his own ability to survive here, rather than leave again.

"Boss, what are you going to do? We can't do odd jobs in the city now, what else can we do to make money?" Xiao Bai thought of the crux of the question and asked.

Wuqi didn't rush to answer, thought for a while, and then said, "It's not okay to do odd jobs, we can try to open our own store." ”

"But, we don't have any money!" Xiao Bai listened, nodded slightly, full of anticipation for Wuqi's new idea, but after taking a closer look, he remembered that his hands were very tight now, and he was a little embarrassed, and said.

"We can borrow no money. Wuqi smiled slightly, but didn't worry much, and replied confidently.

Seeing that his boss was reinvigorated, Xiaobai was very happy in his heart, and all his worries and worries were thrown out of the clouds in an instant, and it itself became more and more confident, because it believed in Wuqi's ability.

On the second day, as expected, Wuqi borrowed money as soon as he came forward, although the amount was very small. But after borrowing a few more times, he still made up enough money to open a small shop, spent all the money, and Xiaobai opened with Wuqi on the same day.

Due to his lack of experience and having only done rough and heavy work before, Wu Qi could think of a very simple project, which was to provide zero-hour short-term work for each store, but this project encountered huge resistance at the beginning, and it was not very smooth.

First of all. In terms of manpower, it is difficult to find the right people. Those who are willing to do short-term jobs think that the wages are too small, and the shop owners who are willing to ask him for short-term jobs think that these short-term workers are not good-tempered enough, do not work hard enough, and the time is too short. I didn't have a good impression of the strange store at first.

It's been a long time. After taking a few more deals and unsuccessfully. Naturally, Wuqi's fledgling shop had to end in a tragic closure.

Such a result was unexpected, and he always thought that he could start with small transactions with his own ability, so that he could slowly gain a foothold here. But the cruel reality taught him another lesson, without any experience, it is really a naΓ―ve joke to think that he can succeed just by thinking.

"Boss, we can't go on like this! The store has been closed, but there is no income, and in the long run, the money we borrowed will soon be spent! Moreover, we can't pay it at all! I think let's just show our real skills and secretly go to some store to grab some money and use it, so that we can find another buddy and reopen the business! We can even give the workers more wages!"

Xiaobai also sensed that something was wrong, and said his heartfelt words to Wuqi.

As soon as Wu Qi heard it, he understood what the real ability Xiao Bai was referring to, that is, the skill of a cultivator, but the boy who scattered wealth had already warned himself that if he wanted to improve his realm and obtain an essential breakthrough in strength, he couldn't use the skill of a cultivator, if he used it, then his journey of cultivating his mind would be tantamount to giving up halfway, what else could he talk about experiencing the life of a normal person?

Thinking of this, Wuqi hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I have to live here in the way of ordinary people, instead of relying on the skills of cultivators. ”

"But, boss, we have no choice! It's not okay to find a job and work part-time, and it's not okay to open your own shop, do you have any other way to make money? If we continue like this, within three days, those customers who lent us money will come to the door! At that time, how are you going to repay that money?" Hearing this, Xiaobai disagreed with Wuqi's idea and seriously refuted it.

"This ...... That's a problem. ”

Wuqi nodded, affirming what Xiaobai meant, but at the same time, he didn't deny himself, and began to think seriously, wanting to see if there was a way to do both.

However, the reality is very cruel, and in the end, my contemplation did not get anything I wanted, and the only thing I got was a greater loss.

As a result, Xiao Bai's body swelled up, and the aura belonging to the cultivator also diffused out in an instant, seeing that Xiao Bai's figure flashed, and he was about to leave here, Wuqi's eyes flashed with surprise, and he hurriedly spoke, stopped Xiao Bai for the first time, and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Boss!" Xiaobai didn't look back, but he stopped and said, "I'll help you rob it!" Since the fortune boy said that you want you to experience the life of ordinary people, then you don't want to go, I'll go alone.

Boss, you just wait here for me, it won't take long to go to the palace at my speed and come back, what we lack most now is money, as long as we have money, everything can be done......"

"Leave me !!"

Hearing this, Wuqi immediately became angry, did not give Xiao Bai a chance to leave, suddenly interrupted Xiao Bai, sighed, and a hideous green tendon appeared on his forehead, and said angrily: "What is the difference between you going to help me and me robbing it myself? If I use the money you robbed from the palace, then can I still live the life that an ordinary person should live?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiaobai was speechless, and these words made it understand its mistake at once, and lowered its head apologetically.

Seeing this scene, Wu Qi knew that Xiao Bai would not leave him without permission anymore, his expression finally eased, he calmly touched Xiao Bai's head, and comforted: "Xiao Bai, I know that you are doing this for my good." However, you have to understand that what we really lack now is not money, but the right way to make money.

Trust me! Give me one night and I'll figure it out, and I won't let you down. ”

"Boss ......" Xiaobai's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he looked at Wuqi in disbelief, he didn't expect Wuqi to maintain such a strong self-confidence at this time.

Wuqi nodded, and hurriedly smiled and gave Xiaobai an affirmative look. Xiaobai's heart calmed down, completely settled, stopped thinking nonsense, returned to his resting place, and rested.

It wasn't until he saw Xiaobai asleep that the smile and confidence that Wuqi had always maintained on his face disappeared and was replaced by seriousness and contemplation.

After a whole night, I only heard a ......clear rooster crow outside the house, and suddenly there was a clear rooster cry in the air, and Wuqi's expression that had lasted all night finally changed, and he clapped his hands excitedly. Said: "There is!"

"Boss. What is the solution?" Xiao Bai happened to wake up at this time, and when he heard Wuqi's words, he saw Wuqi's eyes shining again. I guessed it in an instant. He asked expectantly.

"Sell paintings. Wuqi nodded with a bright smile.

"Selling paintings?" Xiaobai doesn't know what Wuqi means. There was a look of doubt.

"That's right. Wuqi confidently explained: "It's to sell my own paintings." Since no one wants me to work part-time, I can't open my own shop. Then I'll just sell the paintings. My paintings are not the boss I boast about, they are definitely better than the best painters in the city, and if they can be sold, then our living expenses will be settled.

In addition, you don't need to rent any shops, just set up a stall on the street. In doing so, I won't make the owners of those shops hate me, anyway, there is no one selling paintings on this street, I am the first, we can give it a try. ”

"I see!"

After hearing this, Xiaobai finally became confident, opened his mouth, and let out a hearty laugh.

Three days later, on the street where Wuqi lived, there was a strange scene, a narrow three-way intersection, full of people, whenever someone passed by, they would almost curiously come over and glance at it to see why there were so many people here.

Unless the sun goes down and it's time to have to go home, these people will be like seeing some shocking rare treasure, and they won't even want to take half a step away, and their mouths will let out "Wow!" and "Oh my God!" from time to time.

The reason for such a situation is naturally not caused by others, it is not surprising. Wuqi is now under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people, standing quietly in front of his stall, painting for everyone on the spot, while Xiaobai has changed into a cat form, responsible for collecting money for Wuqi.

In three days, Wuqi gained a lot, obtained a lot of silver taels, and the sales of his paintings were very good, because he was serious enough to paint, each one was the best, and received the appreciation of many dignitaries and nobles in the city, so it was only three days, and Wuqi's popularity in this street is now high to the point that everyone knows it.

Such a result was expected by Wuqi a long time ago, because, because of the cultivation of spells, his painting skills have long exceeded those of ordinary people, not to mention what kind of master he is, I am afraid that even if a painting master comes from the palace now, he is definitely not his opponent, and Wuqi has this confidence in himself.

But is this really the case? No one can say clearly, only the real comparison can know the way, and people are full of expectations.

Unconsciously, as the days passed, Wuqi lived very comfortably for a long time in the future, but as the rumors of his extraordinary painting skills spread farther and farther, soon, such a comfortable life was broken, and just recently, a master of Chinese painting came to the palace and wanted to challenge himself.

"Boy, I am the royal painter of the Lonely Goose Country, specializing in painting for His Majesty the King, a few days ago I heard that your painting skills are a must on this street, the old man wants to compare with you, I don't know if you dare to compare?"

This master of Chinese painting is not small, and his expression is also very arrogant, he looks like Lao Tzu is the first in the world, no one is my opponent, and the tone of his speech to Wuqi is not very polite.

Wuqi nodded, smiled and replied, "Of course I dare to compare! I just don't know if you dare to compare with the master of Chinese painting?"

As soon as these words came out, the master of Chinese painting, who looked like a master outside the world, immediately became angry, and his eyebrows and beard were all cocked, but after only a moment, he laughed again, held back the unhappiness in his heart, and said to Wu Qipi without smiling: "The old man is the highest painter in his country's painting attainments, how can he be afraid of you? What a joke! Come on, bring a pen!"

Then, the master of Chinese painting took over a delicate and luxurious paintbrush from the hand of a disciple brought by him, and almost without saying a word, dipped it in the ink specially prepared for ink painting on the Wuqi stall, and moved forward, squeezing away the somewhat unprepared Wuqi, and directly on an unfolded white paper, the big strokes danced like a fly.
