Chapter 21 - Zhang Ergou

After sulking for a while, Yang Yue suddenly remembered that she had humiliated Liu Jiang ruthlessly the day before yesterday and had pushed him away with her scolding. Liu Jiang was peeved.

After a moment of awkwardness, she adjusted her way of thinking and looked at Liu Jiang. She realized that he was very handsome.

At the thought that such a handsome and promising Liu Jiang would become her man, she could not help but be happy.

Joy from Yang Yue, +1530, +…

Liu Jiang looked at Yang Yue in surprise.

Is she so emotional?

The fourth energy fruit was almost ripe.

What a good person, Liu Jiang thought.

"Alright, let's get to work," Li Jun said loudly, sounding like a henchman.

The few of them quickly left.

Liu Jiang smiled and turned to enter his captain's office. He realized that it was indeed quite clean.

Liu Jiang sat on a soft animal skin chair and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction as he hummed a tune.

Liu Jiang realized that being a leader was really good.

He did not have to do anything. He just had to talk his way through the missions and he could do whatever he wanted.

After drinking his tea happily, Liu Jiang began to refine the energy fruit.

In less than five minutes, three energy fruits were completely refined and absorbed.

His cultivation level had increased to the peak of the nine-star Black Iron.

He looked at the Treasure Tree.

This morning, he had spent more than 20,000 points on fear. The soul-controlling fruit still needed 8,532,250 fear points to mature.

In addition, there was a meridian-opening fruit and two epiphany fruits.

Gritting his teeth, Liu Jiang began to refine the meridian-opening fruit.

Three minutes later, Liu Jiang, who was covered in sweat, was trembling slightly.

The meridian-opening fruit had been completely refined.

Then Liu Jiang entered a state of enlightenment and comprehended the Lightning Inducing Technique.

After using the two fruits, Liu Jiang's understanding of the Lightning Inducing Technique deepened.

He would probably need 69 epiphany fruits to get started.

After refining the fruits, Liu Jiang could not sit still anymore. He walked to the training ground and waved at Li Jun, who was cultivating.

Li Jun immediately put down his saber and greeted him obsequiously. "Captain, what's the matter?"

Liu Jiang instructed, "I have something to do. I'm going out for a while. If there's a mission, tell them that I have something to do. Then come straight to the streets to look for me."

"I know." Li Jun nodded repeatedly.

On the streets, Liu Jiang obtained some loose change and found the nearest beggar.

When he saw Liu Jiang, the beggar's eyes lit up.

Joy from Ouyang Erdan, +888, +290!

Liu Jiang stepped forward happily and threw five copper coins into the bowl.

Joy from Ouyang Erdan, +652, +150!

"The power of emotions is not as strong as the day before yesterday," Liu Jiang muttered to himself.

And then another five coins.

And then another five coins.

Towards the end, although the beggar was very happy, the emotional power that Liu Jiang gathered was decreasing.

And it was less than the first time.

But overall, it was not bad.

He had collected more than 5,000 points of joy.

After that, Liu Jiang spent an hour farming 13 beggars from three streets in Black Clouds Town, earning a total of 65,000 points of joy.

On the Treasure Tree, seven red energy fruits had already condensed.

It took nine energy fruits to get to the peak of the nine-star Black Iron. However, to go from the peak of the nine-star Iron level to the Bronze level, Liu Jiang felt that it would take more than seven energy fruits.

After all, going from the Iron level to the Bronze level was a considerable cultivation burden.

Countless people had been stuck here their entire lives, unable to succeed no matter how hard they tried. Some died of depression, some even developed mental demons, and some simply switched to evil cultivation techniques and became big devils.

From the peak of the Black Iron level to the Bronze level was much more difficult than from one to two stars.

Liu Jiang thought for a moment and felt that it would take at least 30 to 40 energy fruits.

Next, Liu Jiang continued to wander the streets to collect emotional energy.

He also studied how to generate more emotional forces.

He realized that the emotional power he obtained from ordinary people was much lower than that of immortal cultivators.

The higher the cultivation level of an immortal cultivator, the more emotional power he would generate.

The more agitated he was, the more emotional he would be.

For example, when helping someone, the more one could satisfy the other party's needs, the more joy one would receive.

For example, giving a bun to a stray dog that was about to starve to death was a way to save its life. It could gather more than 1,000 emotions.

He gave the beggar a steamed bun, but the beggar wanted money more. His urgent needs were not satisfied, so he only felt a little happy.

Two hours later, Liu Jiang collected another 20,000 points of joy and successfully condensed two fruits.

All in all, not bad.

Nine energy fruits had ripened.

After drinking two bowls of tea, Liu Jiang rewarded the boss with two copper coins, earned more than 500 points of emotional strength, and continued strolling.

As he walked, he heard a commotion not far away. Liu Jiang frowned.

He strode forward.

On the street, five hooligans with disheveled clothes and bare chests were surrounding a little girl, and taking liberties with her unscrupulously.

A group of people watched, but they did not dare to say anything.

These hooligans were famous for being scoundrels on this street. They often bullied poor people, although they were often arrested and sent to prison.

However, the person in the lead was Zhang Ergou. His brother-in-law was Yang Cheng, the deputy captain of the first patrol team. Team 1 happened to be in charge of this street, so in just a few days, Zhang Ergou came out of the Inspection Bureau unscathed.

And after he came out, he was as unscrupulous as ever.

Now that he was drunk, no one dared to provoke him.

"Little lady, there's a little rabbit at my house that knows how to flip back and forth. Let's go take a look together," said the fierce-looking Zhang Ergou, who was in the lead.

"I'm not going." The little girl blushed and wanted to run away, but the hooligans stretched their arms and stopped her.

Zhang Ergou grabbed the little girl's wrist and revealed his yellow teeth. His eyes were filled with lust. "Little lady, don't be afraid. You won't die after seeing a rabbit."

The little girl's eyes were filled with fear as she instinctively retracted her hand. But she was not as strong as the bald man.

Her wrist was red from being grabbed and she could not free her hand at all. The little girl was crying from anxiety and kept shaking her head. "I'm not going. I'm not going."

"Why, are you looking down on me? I'll sleep with you tonight and give your darn father a betrothal gift tomorrow. If he dares to disagree, I'll kill his precious son," the burly man with a fierce face said coldly.

"No." Wang Xiaoyu had never experienced such a situation. Tears streamed down her face as she pulled her hand away.

At this moment, one of the neighbors could not stand it anymore. A thin middle-aged man shouted, "Zhang Ergou, you f*cking drank some horse urine. Don't you know your surname?

You're snatching a young lady in broad daylight. Do you still want to save some face for yourself?"

The thin middle-aged man was furious. He couldn't care less about anything else. No one could stop him.

The fierce-looking man was instantly intoxicated. He dragged the little girl forward, raised his hand, and slapped the thin middle-aged man's face. The thin middle-aged man spun on the spot three times, then kicked him far away.

The surrounding people immediately stopped talking. They were angry but did not dare to say anything.

Zhang Ergou was still not appeased. He picked up a stick from the ground and hit the thin middle-aged man's head with it.

But at this moment, Zhang Ergou's fat body was sent flying. A handsome scholar in green appeared where Wang Ergou was just now.

"What the f*ck? What's going on?"

"Where did this handsome scholar come from?"

"How amazing."

Wang Xiaoyu looked at Liu Jiang with reddened eyes.

The fear in her heart instantly dissipated.
