20 Chapter 17: Drawing a Tiger but Ending Up with a Cat, The Bully Returns_3

Translator: 549690339

A mu of good land producing 1,500 jin of corn is considered a very good yield.

Converted into silver money, it’s only worth about 1.5 taels of silver.

If one mu of land needs ten baskets of fertilizer, costing fifty wen apiece, that’s a total of five hundred wen!

After subtracting the laborer’s wages, the cost of seeds, there’s hardly any profit left.

Wang Furen asked about it twice but didn’t make a purchase, and that was exactly the reason.

There was nothing else, it was just too expensive.

There’s hardly any profit to be made.

Qin Niu had now obtained a bear skin, so selling or not selling the fertilizer didn’t really matter to him.

Working in the field was merely a ruse to deceive others.

He planned to set off with the bear skin before dawn tomorrow to sell it for a good price in the city, then return with some cultivation materials.

He hadn’t been busy for long when he heard someone calling him.

“Ah Niu, get your ass over here!”

A thunderous roar erupted from not too far away.

Qin Niu stood up straight and looked outside the corn field, only to see Wang Haikun’s robust figure appearing on the road not far off.

Seeing this person pay an unexpected visit, Qin Niu felt a slight heaviness in his heart.

Damn it, it seemed that the village bully had heard the news and was coming to plunder again.

Wang Haikun had gotten a big windfall by easily snatching that wolf skin last time.

That wolf skin could be sold for at least 1.5 taels of silver, equivalent to half a year’s salary for an ordinary person.

How could Wang Haikun not be eager?

“Master Kun, what brings you here?”

Qin Niu steadied his spirit and went to meet him with a hoe on his shoulder.

He decided to start with small talk first.

This time he had learned his lesson from the previous time, and it was impossible for others to find out.

At most, they might suspect something because of his frequent trips into the mountain late at night. He had to keep his cool.

“Cut the crap and hand over the game right now!”

Wang Haikun’s face darkened, his eyes shining with a fierce light as he stared intently at him.

Upon hearing this, Qin Niu knew it was virtually as he had surmised. Wang Haikun was asking for the game to be handed over, not the bear carcass.

Additionally, even though Wang Haikun seemed fierce in tone and ferocious in expression, it was just the usual tactics he used to intimidate common folks.

There was cunning hiding in the depths of his eyes.

He was trying to trick Qin Niu.

Qin Niu’s strength had improved greatly since a month ago. His Blade Technique had reached a level of minor achievement, with a 10% chance of unleashing a Critical Chop.

Even before drinking bear blood, his cultivation had already reached Onfold 37.6/100.

Now he would only be stronger.

Should he actually fight Wang Haikun, his chances of winning were at least seventy percent.

If he could catch Wang Haikun by surprise with a sneak attack, it was almost a sure win.

So at this moment, faced with the number one bully of the village, Qin Niu actually felt quite calm inside. This was the confidence and self-possession that came with having great strength.

With knowledge as your inner treasure, you exude an elegant demeanor.

Having power naturally brings fearlessness and composure.

However, Qin Niu still put on a facade of timidness and subservience on the surface.

“Master Kun, please come to my house and see what I eat every day! Where would I get game from?”

Qin Niu was well-prepared, confident he could deceive Wang Haikun.

His response was natural, without a hint of a crack.

“Hmph, stop bullshitting me here. Someone saw you going in and out of the mountain last night, surely you’ve got some game and don’t want others to know. Be smart and hand it over, or don’t blame my Black Tiger Fist for being merciless.”

Wang Haikun glared, his eyes as big as copper bells, and clenched his fists so hard they crackled ominously.
