Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: 040 Can your body withstand it? (2/2)

The next morning when Gu Yang woke up, he was surprised to see Ling Ling looking at him differently.

Although she usually didn’t express it clearly, she occasionally showed a hint of contempt. That was the attitude a martial artist has towards those weaker than them.

But now, he could clearly feel her gaze had turned solemn.

Gu Yang knew that she definitely had discovered the abrupt increase in his strengths.

That was something he couldn’t hide.

Ling Ling wasn’t like Su Qingzhen, her abilities were still superior to his, and she could easily notice anything unusual.

Pretending to be ignorant as usual, Gu Yang finished breakfast and set off with her.

In ‘Simulated Life’, he had lived and died with Ling Ling so many times. Most of the time, she was inseparable from him.

He had some degree of trust in her.

On the way, Gu Yang suddenly asked a question, “Once we’re back in Pingjun

City, what can we do to make money?”

Ling Ling casually replied, “Find a trading house. As long as you are willing to protect them, they will naturally reward you with silver.”

“One can only earn about one or two thousand taels per year this way. Isn’t there any other way to make more money?”

“How much do you want?”

“The more the better.”

“What do you need so much money for? Do you know that money is the most useless thing in this world?”

To me, money is the most useful thing.

He didn’t express the last sentence. That was his biggest secret.

He continued to ponder.

As the saying goes, one can only become rich through windfall profits. The deal with Su Qingzhen was like this, and so was the treasure map.

If not, finding a corrupt businessman like when he was in Tianshui City and extorting him could be a good choice too. It wouldn’t be dangerous.

Ling Ling suddenly said, “In fact, if you can win over Cao Yiyi, even getting mountains of gold and oceans of silver wouldn’t be difficult.”

“That crazy woman? Maybe not.”

Gu Yang didn’t feel he was that desperate yet.

It’s better to keep a distance from a woman who is sweet one second and then stabs you in the heart the next.

He decided not to beat around the bush anymore, “Do you have money? Can you lend me 100,000 taels? I will pay you back 150,000 after one year.”

Ling Ling was taken aback, she hadn’t expected such an odd request from him. She shook her head, “I only have seventeen taels and three coins of silver on me, and you were the one who gave them to me.”

Hearing her words which didn’t sound like evasion, Gu Yang gave up this idea.

“Or, should we borrow from Qingxuan Sect?”

Subsequently, he turned his mind to Qingxuan Sect.

The Qingxuan Sect was a significant influence in Pingjun City and should be able to come up with tens of thousands of taels.

That night, Gu Yang and Co. returned to Pingjun City, which saved them an entire day’s journey compared to the time it took to get there.

With his tremendous increase in strength, his speed naturally improved quite a bit.

Zhang Xiao Hai had rented a courtyard, cleaned inside and out, purchased all the necessary items, and made it readily habitable.

Having lived in a thatched house for two years since crossing over, living conditions were quite poor. But now, they could finally live in a decent house.

Gu Yang bathed and changed into a new set of clothes, then returned to his room and sat down on his bed.
