Chapter 42
The Wang Brothers
"Thanks," Chen Changqing said earnestly.
At this moment, Wang Daqiang, who was standing to the side, also said with a smile, "I'm not in a hurry to pay back my money."
Wang Daqiang is also mentally strong; the rise of his friends is indeed disheartening.
Just now, he didn't even want to play with Chen Changqing anymore.
But that's the reality. What's the point of being envious, jealous, and hateful all the time?
It would be better to cultivate a good relationship with Chen Changqing; perhaps we can gain some benefits in the future.
"Yes, thank you." Chen Changqing thanked him sincerely again.
A world of cultivation.
It's about everyday family matters and interpersonal relationships.
You also need neighbors and friends.
They also need help.
You shouldn't look down on the people around you just because you have a promising future.
Maintaining good relationships with those around you can not only bring you benefits, but also reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Moreover, he will become stronger in the future.
He needs someone to do chores for him.
Wang Datou chuckled and said, "We're neighbors and colleagues, as close as brothers. Why be so polite?"
Wang Datou, thick-skinned as ever, has already started trying to build relationships.
Chen Changqing laughed and said, "I won't stand on ceremony with you. After the banquet, lend me three thousand copper coins, with a three percent interest rate. I'll pay you back in a month."
"Okay, no problem. But forget about the interest. Just take it and use it first, then pay it back slowly." Wang Datou patted his chest and then said with a smile, "If you need it, I can lend you five thousand, interest-free."
Since we've decided to cultivate a relationship with Chen Changqing, we might as well invest more.
Talisman masters are few and far between, and every single one of them is incredibly wealthy.
Now, while Chen Changqing is still short of money, we should befriend him completely and prepare for the future.
"My family can still come up with five hundred copper coins," Wang Daqiang chimed in. Although his younger brother was ugly, he was quite smart.
You can't go wrong by following your younger brother's lead.
"Thank you both so much. I'll come to your house tonight to borrow money, and I'll be able to pay you back next month," Chen Changqing said again.
See, here comes the benefit.
With 5,500 copper coins, after paying back Zhao Yanchang and Zhang Jinlong tomorrow, I will still have more than 3,000 copper coins left.
Buy a heavier weighted vest for the little black tiger, and a weighted vest for yourself, and you'll still have plenty of money left over.
"No rush, no rush," the two brothers said politely, waving their hands repeatedly.
Chen Changqing thought for a moment and realized that there were quite a few beast-taming immortals in Dayang County.
Besides the beast-taming immortals of the three major immortal clans, there are many other beast-taming immortals without any background.
These beast-taming immortals include talisman masters, alchemists, and hunters.
They possessed elixirs, talismans, and spiritual herbs, but none of them dared to trade openly.
Because legitimate transactions would result in the three immortal clans extracting a large amount of immortal taxes.
Therefore, many beast-taming immortals would trade in private.
Bartering.
The prices are much, much cheaper than those in the shops of the three great immortal clans.
Chen Changqing looked at the two brothers. Although their fighting ability was average, they were both good at interpersonal relationships and were quite talented.
He'll need someone to help him exchange fireball talismans for cultivation resources later, and these two brothers are good candidates.
Chen Changqing thought for a moment, then looked at the two of them: "In the future, I may need someone to help me exchange fireball talismans for some resources. I don't have that much time, I wonder if you two..."
Upon hearing this, the Wang brothers' eyes lit up immediately.
They were secretly pleased with themselves, praising their own cleverness.
If you curry favor with a good talisman master, won't the benefits come naturally?
In exchange for resources, Chen Changqing would have to give them some benefits in return.
Although the benefits they receive now are minimal and they won't even notice them.
However, as time went by and Chen Changqing's cultivation level increased, his talisman skills also improved.
The benefits will only increase.
What they need to do now is to show Chen Changqing their capabilities.
To ensure that Chen Changqing would continue to use them from now on.
As if afraid of being overheard, Wang Datou whispered, "Using fireball talismans to trade for things, my brother and I are quite good at that."
We often played in Dayang County and got to know many, many beast tamers.
They all possessed valuable items, such as various talismans and elixirs.
The Fireball Talisman is a relatively useful low-level talisman; it can be exchanged for quite a few things you need.
Chen Changqing nodded: "Okay, we'll discuss this later."
The three of them went to Zhao Erhu's house together.
They were still chatting and laughing.
Wang Datou and Wang Daqiang wanted to befriend Chen Changqing.
Chen Changqing wanted to find someone to do things for him.
The three hit it off immediately, and the atmosphere of their conversation became increasingly harmonious.
The atmosphere was completely different from when we went to Chen Changming's banquet three days ago.
The atmosphere that day was cheerful.
The atmosphere today is harmonious.
We arrived at Zhao Erxiong's house.
During the banquet, Chen Changqing did not notice Zhao Erhu.
Zhao Erhu still owes him a lot of money.
He was about to ask for it.
Chen Changqing overheard people talking that Zhao Erhu had already gone to Liangshui Town, saying he was busy with official business.
But anyone with eyes could see that Zhao Erhu was too ashamed to stay at home and dared not see anyone.
She took her younger brother to gather herbs in the deep mountains, but they encountered danger. She abandoned her brother and fled for her life, which resulted in her brother's death in the mountains.
How to face family members?
How should I face my clansmen?
How to deal with relatives?
How to deal with friends?
Zhao Erhu clearly didn't want to see the looks in the eyes of his family, relatives, and friends.
I might as well just leave and not see it, so I won't be bothered.
"We'll owe Zhao Erhu that money for now and collect it later."
We have attended the banquet.
After buying the meat and giving it to Xiao Hei, they arrived at Wang Datou's house.
Although Wang Datou's house was not luxurious, it was very tastefully decorated. The furniture was made of high-quality mahogany with exquisite carvings and a glossy finish, making it look exceptionally grand.
In the center of the living room sits a large eight-immortal table, on which are placed several exquisite porcelain pieces. Several landscape paintings hang on the wall, giving it a refined and scholarly atmosphere.
"Changqing, make yourself at home," Wang Datou greeted him with a smile, showing great hospitality.
Chen Changqing nodded and sat down on a carved wooden chair. The wood felt warm and smooth to the touch, clearly of high quality.
He looked around and sighed inwardly. Although Wang Datou wasn't very strong, his family background was indeed quite good.
Just then, the curtain to the inner room was gently lifted, and a young and beautiful girl came out.
She is Zhang Cuicui, the wife Wang Datou married ten days ago.
Her face was fair and delicate, and she wore a light green long dress with an embroidered belt around her waist, which accentuated her graceful figure.
Wang Datou is ugly, but he is both a beast tamer and a patrolman, making him quite popular in the town.
After the fox spirit was seriously injured and left, someone proposed marriage to Wang Datou.
Wang Datou chose the prettiest one and married her.
"Changqing is here," Zhang Cuicui said softly, her voice as melodious as a clear spring.
The look in her eyes as she gazed at Chen Changqing held a hint of fear.
Because she had heard that Chen Changqing was an extremely promiscuous man who specifically seduced married women.
Chen Changqing bowed slightly and said, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Ten days ago, Wang Datou got married, and he came to give a gift and met his wife.
Zhang Cuicui brought over a pot of hot tea, poured a cup for Chen Changqing, then quietly took her leave and returned to the inner room.
