Speaking of which, regarding the cultivation rules of "Zhen Qi", Ling Yao has been studying continuously since he entered the Qi Refining Hall, but he still has not been able to get started. For a while, he will not be able to produce enough force value to compete with Lin Tianyu. But in contrast, now he is going very smoothly in confirming his identity as the villain.
There was no need for him to say any harsh words. He just sat there and glanced at Lin Tianyu casually. Lin Tianyu himself made up his mind that "children from rich families use their power to bully others and do random things" and "treat people like grass and trample on ordinary people casually." personality", "I feel contempt and jealousy for myself as a grassroots fighter, so I try my best to embarrass myself", "I always feel that I stole his limelight, so I feel resentful", "I think I just got lucky and got away" To this point today", "I think that as long as I defeat myself, I will be recognized as a miracle doctor by the world and win the hearts of beautiful women", good guys, slow down your rants, it will let me take a breath, cough... and a series of rich villain psychological activities , looked at Ling Yao with disdain and contempt, as if he had already seen through Ling Yao's mind, and then began to stand on the moral high ground and feel complacent.
But in fact, if Lin Tianyu hadn't always jumped on the edge of the law and medical ethics, he would have always felt like "I'm so pitiful and innocent, and I only punish good and eliminate evil, why do you all want to get in my way," even though he was the one causing trouble? I must teach you a lesson," and then the cycle repeats, causing trouble and causing trouble to Ling Yao. Ling Yao doesn't even want to give him a look.
Seeing the proud expression that Lin Tianyu showed at the end: "Boy, look at my wonderful rejuvenation skills, you will never learn it in your lifetime. But since you insist on provoking me, I will remember you, and you will look good next time", Ling Yao suddenly felt that although the "protagonist" 00 Han in the world of Mang Sheng was also a cheat with excessive self-awareness, but in comparison, Ling Linhan was still so cute?
If Ling Linhan is a kid who grew up in an ivory tower, cannot see the reality clearly but is self-righteous and smart, then Lin Tianyu is like an urban version of Don Quixote, with a left eye of 5.2 and a right eye of 5.1. He had to hold his newly acquired spear and shield, and scream and bark at the big windmill that was spinning on the farm.
It makes people feel absurd and ridiculous, and even a little sad.
But of course, Ling Yao didn't feel sad for Lin Tianyu now. They have a "hostile" relationship, and Ling Yaoshang doesn't have enough strength to pity his opponent.
Although now he is enough to crush Lin Tianyu in terms of wealth, status, and even professional knowledge, there is no need to worry about Lin Tianyu's possible "retaliation". But in fact, his current situation is very embarrassing.
After all, Lin Tianyu's golden finger is not a purely dead thing, but a secret book that allows Lin Tianyu to gradually grow. As long as Lin Tianyu is still the protagonist, it is inevitable that his status will be reversed and crush him in the future. In contrast, Ling Yao has yet to find an opportunity and method to keep up with the opponent's pace in the future.
To use an inappropriate analogy, it’s like if you traveled back in time twenty years ago, your self-conditions are still ordinary, you can’t find development opportunities, and you may still become a mediocre white-collar worker in the future. Although the other party is poor now, he will become one of the few richest people in the country in the future.
And when you know this, you still want to be "hostile" to the other party... Even if you are reasonable, it still takes a lot of courage.
Ling Yao has such courage and has already thought of the worst outcome. But he was still anxious.
At this time, he somewhat understood why the "villains" in various story novels suddenly became evil and acted with the vigor to break everything - this invisible pressure was like the sharp knife on the prisoner's head. , people who are not determined enough can easily be driven crazy.
From the current point of view, the help the Nan family can get here cannot help Ling Yao grow up quickly, and the Nan family is different from Yueyao Peak back then, and they are not completely aligned with him.
Furthermore, if he really devotes himself to studying the "external cultivation" skills in the Qi Lian Tang, although it can achieve temporary results, in the long run, it may completely block his shortcut of catching up with Lin through "internal cultivation". The way to Tianyu.
He must seek more adventurous channels to obtain more resources.
Lin Tianyu himself will definitely not reveal any information to him, but the people and things Lin Tianyu has come into contact with may become key clues. By combing through the text messages of the complainants and combining it with the actual situation, there are only three possibilities: the first is the special forces that secretly contacted Lin Tianyu, the second is the black market where Lin Tianyu collects wealth and treasures and develops private power, and the third is the Wu Jinglong was shocked when he saw Lin Tianyu's medical skills.
No matter how outstanding Ling Yao is, he is still just a small cabbage in the medical field. Unless initial results have been achieved, the chances of him having direct contact with special forces through medical projects are slim.
As for Wu Jinglong, he could only start from Wu Zifan's side, gradually gain his trust, and try to get some information. This kind of thing can only be done step by step, not in a hurry.
And all that's left is...
black market.
black market……
This is an area that Ling Yao has never been involved in in his life, nor has he ever thought about it.
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Ling Yao's previous life experience was far more bizarre, bloody and chaotic than the so-called "big guys" who work in the black market or even the underworld in this world. But perhaps because of this, in this second life that he unexpectedly had, he was both curious and envious of the "stable and peaceful" society.
And compared to trying to make ends meet in the gray mud, using all the tricks, and playing with people's hearts, surviving as an "ordinary person" in this world may make him find it more interesting, more novel, and more challenging.
He also tried his best to maintain such a life, tried his best to curb his unstable thoughts and overly "radical" methods, and lived a regular life within the framework of society.
He even "overcorrected" a bit, so much so that a stubborn and stubborn person like Yu Huisheng once taught him that the things praised by the mainstream of the current society-whether it is law or morality-sometimes insist too much on them. , but it may bring disaster to yourself. Sometimes in the face of human nature, even if the other person is wrong, you must learn to be tolerant, otherwise it will be easy to be too strong and you will have endless troubles.
God knows how embarrassed Ling Yao felt when he listened to this old man who was almost older than himself, giving him advice and teaching him how to behave. If it weren't for the fear of being regarded as a chuunibyou, Ling Yao would have said: "Please, I've killed more people than you have eaten." (Although this may not necessarily be regarded as a chuunibyou, he may also be arrested directly. )
Doesn't he know that no matter what kind of world or society it is, as long as there are people, there will always be a dark and dirty side?
Doesn't he know that sometimes if he lowers his head and turns a blind eye, life will become easier?
Doesn't he know that those glorious moral standards can actually only bind himself, but not others?
Of course he knows. He knows everything. He never thought how good the world was, but how good the world was. In this new life, he experienced a brand new way of living, a stable way of living under the constraints of morality and law. Then, he would never take a step into those gray areas unless necessary.
The major aristocratic families represented by the Nan family, as well as the mixed black market, are all in those gray fogs.
Now, it's time for him to make a choice:
Should we wander and test outside the fog, waiting for opportunities that may or may not come to us? Or should we hope that the giant beast in the fog will never lead to darkness? Or should we actively step into the fog and find ways to deal with the giant beast? The spear and shield?
…
One night passed, and the commotion at the Zhou family's birthday banquet quickly spread throughout the circle. Those who originally intended to marry the Zhou family gradually gave up their thoughts; the aristocratic families who wanted to help the Zhou family to earn favors now have more worries because of Lin Tianyu's "accident", not to mention those who were originally waiting to see whether the Zhou family could borrow the money. The small family that was trying to make a comeback soon fell apart.
Among these various forms, the Nan family is naturally included. Nan Bohong stayed in his study that night and revised several plans. Ling Yao didn't need to look at them to know that they were all plans related to the Zhou family.
This is how the friendship between aristocratic families is - everything depends on money. Even if it is "giving help in times of need", it is also "repaying kindness", which is very practical.
If they were like Ling Yao and knew that the Zhou family who tied up Lin Tianyu would be prosperous in the future, their attitude would definitely turn 180 degrees, and they would instantly transform into licking dogs who don't want a house, desperately trying to get rid of the Zhou family. Get some resources and benefits from yourself.
Ling Yao is different. For people like Lin Tianyu, before he became famous, he was: "tui!"
After his meteoric rise, he was: "He——tui!"
Oh, he is really a person who never changes his original intention. Um.
So he still won't tell the truth to these people who follow the trend.
"You want to go to the black market? There's no need for such a trivial matter... Ah, that's right. You usually don't understand the Nan family's business, and you don't know the ways and rules of the black market... OK. I'll send someone to take you."
Nan Guozhong turned the walnuts in his hand and responded casually,
"Now that I'm back, even if I don't care about anything, I should gain some experience. Let the third brother find two boys from the Qi Refining Hall to join him. With a new face like you, there are not many good people around, let alone learn something. , it’s considered a good thing if it hasn’t been stripped naked and beaten out.
"Let me know at Qi Lian Tang. If you come across supplies you want to buy, please charge them to my account. By the way, call your second brother over before you go out. I'll see him if I have anything to do."
Under Nan Guozhong's casual arrangements, Ling Yao inexplicably got a black card in his hand, and then he was inexplicably accompanied by three or five rookies from the Qi Lian Hall, and finally ended up in the so-called underground black market in Fengcheng.
Although he wanted to save trouble and directly asked Nan Guozhong about the black market, this is what he imagined visiting the black market:
Wearing a trench coat and sunglasses, with only one or two elite subordinates, he pretended to be a mysterious boss and sneaked into the market. He was unpredictable, pretentious, and made insinuations to gather information.
But the reality has become like this:
Wearing gold and silver, surrounded by a group of people in black, he looked around like a village idiot entering the city. He asked questions about this and that. His eyes lingered on a certain place, and the bodyguard next to him helped him clear the entire stall without saying a word. After talking to the baby, he looked like a rich second-generation young man who didn't understand anything, was forced by his family to gain knowledge, and thought he was here to go shopping.
Why do you feel like something's not quite right? How did he become this persona?
It's all the fault of these guys from Qi Lian Tang!
Fortunately, he persisted in his last stubbornness and did not take off his sunglasses. He also asked his aunt to put on makeup that even his own mother would not recognize. Otherwise, he felt that his wise image in this life would be ruined.
...Speaking of which, does he really still have an image in the upper class society? Damn it.
But pretending to be a fool also has its advantages. Although he received a lot of contempt and supercilious looks, and there were many Nan family members watching, making it difficult for him to move, the people he talked to also relaxed their vigilance and were less covert about him, allowing him to spy on a lot. Hidden intelligence.
For example, illegal drugs are circulating in the East District of the black market, and people from the Chen family and the Huo family are mainly controlling the market; another example is this year's auction, it is said that there will be many treasures favored by Qi practitioners, and it has also attracted many practitioners. The big guys came to bid.
Another example is the last "idiot" like him who was shopping at a stall in the Central District and filled the entire stall with a bag. He was "Tian Yu" who was known as Gem Eye in the black market. It's just that as soon as he was laughed at, the next second he pulled out an antique bronze tripod from a pile of rubbish that the boss paid a million dollars for.
The reason why this person is called "Jewel Eye" is because he is a good player in the stone gambling area. The wise eye can open up stones and hit the target with a hundred shots. At the beginning, he was directly promoted from being penniless to a rich man with tens of millions of imperial green. What's more important is that he was able to save this piece of jade on the black market, and it really fell into his own hands - this is called a skill.
Ling Yao had a fake smile on his face: ...even if you hide your fucking last name, I still know that you are the protagonist Lin Tianyu!
As for skills... As for the black market, being able to fight is the greatest skill. Although Lin Tianyu has just started the journey of upgrading Long Aotian, it is more than enough to fight with a few small minions. At that time, he acted coquettishly on the spot and put on an unpredictable posture, which made the boss behind the scenes think that he had a deep background, and naturally they would not touch him again.
Then he talked about several ways to make money, and frankly said that he wanted to cooperate with big bosses to do business. The boss took a look: Wow, not only are you not afraid of me, but you dare to trade with me on an equal footing, you must be someone you can't afford to offend. And once you get the benefits, it's not too late to test the other party. So the protagonist puts on a fake skin and starts to prosper in the black market.
It's a good life in this world.
Seeing Ling Yao's curious and disdainful expression, the chatty stall owner immediately speculated that this was a real rich second generation who was just curious about the legendary experience of "Jewel Eyes". But when it comes to wealth, a piece of jade valued at tens of millions of dollars is just a piece of cake for him, and he will definitely look down upon it. After thinking about it like this, the other party's expression quickly became more attentive:
"This thing is just a matter of luck. When it comes to treasures, as long as you have money to spend, no matter how good the jade is, you can find it sooner or later. Since you are curious, do you want to try it too? Maybe you can see that There’s a jewel-eyed person!”
Ling Yao rolled his eyes and asked deliberately:
"If you recruit me so enthusiastically, you won't get a commission, right?"
Those who dare to wander around in the black market are more sophisticated than the others. Even if you have any questions, why would you ask them so straightforwardly? But Ling Yao asked such a careless question, which confirmed the identity of the rich young man who was ignorant of the world and had no shortage of money. The smile on his face became wider, he rubbed his hands and said:
"Oh... you want to have fun, and I can also make a living..."
"Come on, do you think I'm short of this little money? Let's go! I still want to see that 'Jewel Eye'!"
Ling Yao waved his hand, put his hands in his pockets, and followed the other person deeper into the area without loving anyone. The middle-aged bodyguard Qin Bai appointed by Nan Guoxian had a natural expression, but the other young people all looked at each other bitterly and shook their heads, obviously very dissatisfied with Ling Yao's behavior as a "young master" regardless of the occasion.
"Brother Bo, he's so... A new batch of goods just arrived at the stone quarry today, and it's very chaotic now. With just a few of us, can we... should we persuade him to change places, the auction house?" It’s pretty good…”
Xia Ming, the leader of the young men, turned sideways and muttered.
Qin Bai secretly glanced at him and whispered:
"We are all the masters of the Nan family. How can we have any say? As for the stone gambling den, if the eldest young master and the second young master can go there, he can go there too. You don't need to make the decision. Do your duty!"
He only said this to Ling Yao, but naturally the others heard it and became more and more dejected.
"It's so good, why do you need us to accompany such a second-generation ancestor..."
"I heard that he only recognized him in the past two years. No wonder he feels like a nouveau riche..."
"That is to say...this guy clearly had no sense of existence at first, so why did the head of the family suddenly change his attitude..."
As for these gossips, Qin Bai never stopped them - anyway, just don't let yourself and outsiders hear them.
After all, although he had to fulfill his duties, he also had doubts in his heart.
Even if Nan Guoxian said that no matter how talented this person was, Nan Botu was still in his twenties. If you start practicing at this time, you won’t have any particularly outstanding results in the future. In addition, not only is he not close to the Nan family, he is also a doctor. He knows nothing about the affairs of the Nan family and has no training value at all. Why did the Nan family suddenly pay attention to such a junior at this time, and even let him come to the black market to "gain knowledge"?
Is it really just because the Nan family is in desperate need of Qi refiners?
Or……
He wanted to see what kind of person this was.
