I'm also desperate.

Chapter 136 Have One for Breakfast (Minimum Guarantee)

What valuable information?

Fang Yue's interest was piqued. Since Lin Ling brought it up, it was probably related to the second-rate level mental cultivation method he had mentioned for the day after tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Fang Yue couldn't help but ask, "What information?"

Lin Ling didn't waste any time and said plainly.

"An Shenyi told me that when he was invited by Lord Han and left Mo Village, he happened to run into a merchant caravan heading towards Mo Village."

"They even asked An Shenyi for directions and confirmed that they were going to Mo Village."

"When a merchant caravan arrives at a village, they will stay there for at least a few days to sell their goods."

"It's possible that this merchant caravan has the rare fruits that increase cultivation that I want, or the second-rate level mental cultivation method manual you want."

"But you have to act fast. Who knows when the merchant caravan will leave Mo Village, because the length of time these merchant caravans stay in a village is never fixed. It depends on how well their goods are selling. If they encounter any strange attacks, they'll flee even faster."

"So you better pray that Mo Village is peaceful these few days and that their goods sell well enough for them to stay until you arrive."

"Also, if the merchant caravan is selling medicinal herbs or natural treasures that increase cultivation, buy them for me, and I'll reimburse you when you get back."

Fang Yue understood.

Lin Ling was informing me of this news as a side note; his real intention was to get me to buy things for him.

No wonder this guy, who was clearly angry, suddenly became so kind, introducing the situation and revealing information to me.

But… reimbursement?

Fang Yue looked at Lin Ling with a suspicious expression.

"Brother Lin, can you afford it? Didn't you say that these merchant caravans are all black-hearted merchants who charge exorbitant prices? Can you… really reimburse me?"

Hearing this, Lin Ling's face immediately turned red, and his voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.

"Why do you care so much! I'm the head of the village guard; would I really cheat you out of money? Besides, it'll take you several days to go to Mo Village and back. I'll definitely have the money ready for you during that time. Just buy whatever you need!"

Guilty, that reaction is definitely a sign of guilt!

Don't tell me this guy is really going to cheat me; I'll definitely be devastated.

But… if there really are good things, I might not even have the money to buy them…

"Brother Lin, to be honest, if there really are good things in the Mo Village merchant caravan, I might not have the capital to buy them…"

"Oh right, you're a poor ghost too, always asking me for 1g of black embers."

The way he said that… he's clearly just as poor as me!

Actually, Fang Yue and Lin Ling both have regular silver taels, but outside, merchant caravans and such price everything in black embers. Silver taels can only circulate among ordinary people, used to buy common supplies, such as horses, ordinary weapons, or储备粮食reserve food.

According to Lin Ling, if they're lucky, when the merchant caravans don't have much silver taels on hand, they'll open a window for selling things with silver taels, but the probability is relatively low, depending on whether you can get lucky and run into it.

Misery loves company.

Both of them were at a loss.

Lin Ling could only tell Fang Yue to do his best. He also said that he would try to scrape together some money. If Fang Yue could really buy back good things, he would definitely not mistreat him.

The so-called trying to scrape together money actually meant using silver taels to buy black embers from the villagers at a high premium.

Of course, this would have to be done during the day. Right now, Lin Ling had to go to the guard station to arrange the personnel for An Shenyi's guard team.

Fang Yue watched Lin Ling leave, his mind also thinking about how to get money.

He didn't have Lin Ling's capital, so it was impossible to use silver taels to砸 smash things.

The only thing he could think of was to wait until he escorted An Shenyi and kill more strange creatures along the way…

It has to be said, after thinking carefully, Fang Yue felt that this way of making money was actually a bit feasible.

Because there were a hundred or so people in the guard team, with so many deputy captains and team members helping, if they killed weak strange creatures, they would be safe and guaranteed to succeed.

The only thing to fear was encountering strange creatures that weren't weak, but terrifying beings with clear eyes. That would be the end of the whole team.

So Fang Yue's beautiful fantasy could only remain a fantasy.

"Strange creatures, strange creatures! Come on, strange creature!"

Fang Yue continued his night patrol, muttering to himself, but unfortunately, the night passed without encountering any strange creatures.

Gu Yue Village was terrifyingly peaceful!

Fang Yue shivered as he received the basic reward of 2 days of yang life for patrolling at night.

He opened his attributes.

"Name: Ye Se Liming."

"Realm: Third-rate Postnatal."

"State: Ordinary."

"Health: 200/200."

"Internal Force: 300/300."

"Control: 16.2 [Base: 36.2] [State/Bonus: -20]."

"Defense: 15.9 [Base: 35.9] [State/Bonus: -20]."

"Talent: Night Breathing [Human Grade High]."

"Skills: Analysis Eyes [Human Grade Low], Starlight Saber Art 1st Layer [Third-rate Postnatal], Starlight Mental Cultivation Method 3rd Layer [Third-rate Postnatal/Max Level]."

"Lifespan: 1 month 14 days."

Naturally, one day was lost, so the reward of 2 days of yang life was actually a discount.

Exiting the game, Fang Yue greeted Sister Yuan, who had just returned home, with surprise, and then went downstairs to quickly solve the breakfast problem.

"What?! You're going on a date?!"

As soon as he came back, Fang Yue saw Sister Yuan's eyes shining as she stared at him. Next to Sister Yuan was Bai Xiaoya, who had just gotten up to make boiled eggs.

She saw the breakfast that Fang Yue had bought and then looked at the extra eggs in the pot, and fell silent for a moment.

"Mr. Fang, let me prepare breakfast at home from now on, so you don't have to go downstairs to buy breakfast, which is so troublesome."

"Uh… okay."

Someone was preparing breakfast. No matter what Bai Xiaoya's purpose was, Fang Yue agreed with both hands. He was too happy to have any objections.

As for Sister Yuan, her work schedule was so messed up that she would never prepare breakfast for anyone.

Seeing that the two of them were ignoring her question, Sister Yuan couldn't help but raise her voice: "Tell me quickly, how far have you progressed? What exactly happened that night? I feel like your relationship has become so much closer all of a sudden!"

Sister Yuan's eyes were shining, her brain filled with romance.

Fang Yue was about to awkwardly explain when Bai Xiaoya interjected, "Nothing happened between Mr. Fang and me, Sister Yuan, you've misunderstood."

"How could that be! You're going on a date! And in a helicopter! I want to ride too! I've never ridden in a helicopter in my life!"

"I'm just feeling restless and want to go to the temple to pray for peace. Anyway, Mr. Fang has nothing to do, he just stays in his room all day, so I asked him to accompany me."

"I have nothing to do either!"

"… Then, Sister Yuan, would you like to come too?"

Hearing Bai Xiaoya's invitation, Sister Yuan was stunned for a moment and hesitated.

"Well, wouldn't it be bad to disturb your date? Never mind, I'll just go back to my窩 bed and cry myself to sleep."
