Surviving in a chaotic world and becoming a saint by adding points

Chapter 14 Ning Wanqiu

"Poison? Dozens of bottles of poison? What else is there to say? Awesome."

Looking at the table full of bottles and jars, labeled poisons, and a letter, Chen Ran was somewhat bewildered.

After opening the envelope and reading the entire letter, Chen Ran learned about Wu Heng's family and the reason for his visit.

The Wu family was a family that specialized in making poisons for the Dingzhou Army's Demon Hunting Division.

Six months ago, the Dingzhou Army's Demon Hunting Division discovered a molting insect demon in Cangwu Mountain. Just as they were preparing to send troops to hunt it down, the insect demon transformed into countless insect shadows that devoured the entire Dingzhou Army.

Not satisfied with devouring the Dingzhou army, the insect demon headed towards the nearest Changhe County.

The Wu Heng family happened to be in Changhe County, and they barely escaped from that hellish place after a near-death experience.

After that, he suffered a brain injury and came to Qinghe County.

"What a twist of fate! I don't need a poison that works on demons for the time being."

However, it would probably be good for self-defense as well.

Are all the powerful demons in this world that strong? How do these people even survive?

He shook his head. These things were too far removed from his life. He hadn't even solved his basic needs for food and clothing, let alone learn about such things.

After selecting a few bottles of poison that were effective against humans, Chen Ran packed the rest into a hidden compartment.

Now, he's already thinking about moving.

Although Rat Street is better than other places, there are still all sorts of chaotic gang fights every day.

Staying here isn't just about safety; I also have nowhere to put my belongings.

"I still don't have any money."

Everything has come full circle.

Without money, it's really hard to get by.

The aroma of rice filled Chen Ran's nostrils.

"Gurgle~ gurgle~"

My stomach started growling, much to my dismay.

"Never mind, let's eat first. I've never eaten refined rice before."

Today's dishes are plentiful: a large bowl of braised pork bones, a plate of Mapo Tofu, and a dish of pickled vegetables.

It looks, smells, and tastes delicious, making one's appetite very strong.

After breaking through his limits, his strength increased, but Chen Ran's appetite also increased significantly.

Fortunately, the accumulation of blue stamps is not affected by one's own breakthroughs.

The blue energy bar continued to accumulate as he absorbed energy.

"Knock knock knock!!"

Halfway through the meal, the knocking on the door sounded again.

"Hello, I'm from the Fierce Tiger Gang..."

In one afternoon, Chen Ran received six or seven people from various factions who wanted him to take up a temporary post.

There were newly formed small gangs, and there were taverns and restaurants.

The most surprising thing was the invitation from the Grand Canal Gang.

The person who came here was the manager of the Cao Gang. From him, Chen Ran learned that the Cao Gang was the overlord of the Southern District, with dozens of martial artists who had broken through the limits, and even a few who had broken through to the second level of blood.

Chen Ran was given the position of a minor leader, with a monthly salary of sixty taels of silver and a allowance of thirty catties of crystal venison.

His duties included going to the docks with several other leaders to oversee operations on the fifteenth of each month, as well as carrying out escort missions.

The rest of the time is quite free.

This made Chen Ran very interested.

As for the offers from other forces, they were similar to those from the previous North German Restaurant, and they didn't include any monster meat, so Chen Ran politely declined.

Right now, the most important thing is that Senior Brother Meng from the martial arts school hasn't made a bid yet, and Chen Ran wants to hear what he has to say.

………….

Nanming Street.

On the dilapidated street, several people, like walking corpses, were wandering around.

The stench of decay, urine, and feces permeated the entire street.

"Clatter~"

Suddenly, a piece of rotten meat was thrown in the middle of Nanming Street.

The eyes of the several figures, who were originally in a daze and half-dead state, became terrifying.

"Mine!!! This is mine!!!!"

"I got it first, it's mine!!!"

"Damn it!!! You all go to hell!!! Go to hell!!!"

For a piece of rotten flesh, people fight like wild dogs, snatching food and killing each other on the ground.

Even worse, some people picked up stones from the side and smashed them at the people next to them who were trying to take food from them.

For a moment, the whole scene was filled with intense bloodshed and brutality.

Here, people are no longer people.

"Hahaha, this is funny, really funny!"

On the rooftop, a man with a face covered in tattoos watched this scene with excitement.

As he watched, he began to gesticulate wildly.

"Lord Shadow, the leader requests your presence."

Behind the shadow, a man completely shrouded in black appeared.

"Tch, I know."

Upon hearing this, Shadow shook his head.

He pulled out several hidden weapons from his pocket and casually waved them.

The people who were just fighting over food died instantly.

After they died, pairs of green eyes shone brightly in the darkness.

Following the man in black, Shadow entered a secret room.

"Boss, I heard you were looking for me?"

"Yao Xiao, who previously collaborated with us on Rat Street, has also been crippled."

"What do you mean?"

"Kill him and find the person who sabotaged our deal."

"I'm not very good at investigations, so I'll have to pay more."

………….

The next morning, Chen Ran left home early.

After buying a few meat buns, Chen Ran quickly arrived at the Tongbei Boxing Gym.

"Senior Brother Chen."

"Senior Brother Chen."

As they passed through the outer courtyard, the outer courtyard disciples who had previously looked down on Chen Ran addressed him respectfully, their faces showing a hint of awe.

Chen Ran nodded slightly and headed towards the inner courtyard.

Upon arriving at the inner courtyard, Chen Ran discovered that it was completely deserted.

Just as he was feeling a bit strange.

"Junior Brother."

"Senior Brother Meng."

"After seeing who it is," Chen Ran replied.

"Come quick! Master Ning from the Qingfeng Martial Arts Academy in the inner city has brought his daughter today. You didn't see it, but Master Ning's daughter's figure and face are simply stunning. She's my dream girl!"

At this point, Meng Sheng looked like a lecherous man.

"Why would a martial arts school from the inner city come here?"

"Hey, isn't it because Master Ning recently took in some martial arts prodigy and brought his daughter and disciple over to show off?"

Look, that's Ning Baichuan, the master of Qingfeng Martial Arts School. To his left is his genius disciple Ke Sheng, and to his right is Ning Wanqiu.

"If I could marry him, I wouldn't care about being the head of the Meng family anymore."

Standing at the very back of the crowd, Meng Sheng shook his head and sighed.

Chen Ran chuckled and looked at Ning Wanqiu.

She had fair skin, wore no makeup, had exquisite features, and wore an aloof expression that kept people at a distance.

She was dressed in a white short-sleeved top, making herself look very capable.

They possess the competence of children from martial arts schools.

After just one glance, Chen Ran slowly turned his gaze to Ke Sheng, who was standing on the other side of Ning Baichuan.

Ke Sheng was a man with a large head, a pockmarked face, and a burly build. He had an arrogant expression and his eyes would occasionally glance at Ning Wanqiu.

"Alright, Lao Zhou, that's enough for today. I hope to see your outstanding students' abilities at the martial arts exchange meeting in a month."

"Late Autumn, Sheng'er, let's go."

Zhou Changfeng got up and saw them to the door.

Meng Sheng pulled Chen Ran forward, intending to watch for a while longer, but Chen Ran refused.

Soon, Meng Sheng returned, looking reluctant to leave.

"Senior brother, I have some questions I'd like to ask you."
