Chapter 2342 - 2341: Making Money
Ling Feng was speechless.
He’d seen plenty of hooligans, but it was the first time someone was looking for trouble like this.
Watching the other party charge over, he smirked and said, "Sorry, but you’re the ones asking for a beating!"
Then, without hesitation, Ling Feng threw a punch!
These little thugs weren’t even at the Qi Refining stage, how could they be his match?
In just the blink of an eye, a few guys who charged forward were all knocked down!
Ling Feng walked up to the short, fat one, smirking, "I’ll count to two and give you a chance to run!"
After saying that, he leisurely counted to one.
The fat guy was dumbfounded, just standing there, not moving a muscle.
Ling Feng took over ten seconds to finally reach two, then looked at him, "Sorry, you didn’t run, so I have to beat you up!"
"No!"
The short, fat guy came to his senses, dropping to his knees with a thud, "I was wrong, please don’t hit me!"
"You’re making this hard for me!"
Ling Feng smirked, squatting down to look at him, "You say don’t hit, and I don’t hit? What happens to my dignity then?"
"Boss, I was wrong, I didn’t know you were so strong, I was blind!" the fat guy said.
"Is just begging for mercy enough? Is the boss so cheap?" Ling Feng asked.
The short, fat guy was startled, but quickly understood, searched himself hurriedly, and handed over two gold beans, "Th-this is for you."
Ling Feng chuckled, feeling speechless, "Really, are you that poor? Only two gold beans?"
"..."
The short, fat guy was dumbfounded, thinking where did this naive person come from? Two gold beans were enough for a month’s living here, yet he wasn’t satisfied?
But he really only had that much money on him, seeing Ling Feng dissatisfied, he could only cry out, "Boss, this is all I have. If you’re still not satisfied, then just beat me, I’ve no other way!"
Seeing him like this, Ling Feng knew the kid was out of money, so he shook his head and sighed, "Alright, let’s leave it at that."
After saying this, he couldn’t be bothered with him anymore and stood up to walk away.
The few thugs finally dared to get up from the ground, staring at his back for a moment, then ran off in the opposite direction.
Holding the two gold beans, Ling Feng thought now that he had money, the first thing he needed to do was change his clothes, otherwise, people would still look down on him.
So he walked to a tailor shop not far away.
The shop had a lot of clothes, with dozens hanging right at the entrance.
Ling Feng entered, and the shop owner looked up just about to greet him, but the moment he saw Ling Feng’s clothes, a look of disdain crossed his face, "What now, we don’t serve beggars here!"
"Open your dog eyes, I’m here to spend money!"
Ling Feng took out a gold bean to show him!
The owner’s impatient expression immediately turned into a smile!
That sycophantic grin made Ling Feng shiver.
But the shop owner didn’t feel embarrassed at all, smiling as he asked, "Sir, what kind of clothes would you like? Feel free to pick!"
"Just give me a few pieces, whatever fits the value of this!"
Ling Feng pointed at the gold bean.
"Alright!"
The shop owner, all smiles, quickly helped to take measurements.
He soon packed over a dozen different colored garments into a bundle.
Ling Feng himself also changed into a new outfit.
With the bundle in hand, Ling Feng mused that no matter where you are, money talks. Truly, money can make the devil push the millstone!
Strolling down the street with his parcel, Ling Feng thought he needed to earn more money; otherwise, when would he ever reach the mountain top?
Just as he was pondering this, someone in a hurry bumped straight into him.
Quickly reacting, Ling Feng put his hand on the man’s head, "Hey, where are you rushing off to?"
"Sorry, I was in a rush, didn’t see you!"
Seeing the young man in new clothes, the man immediately apologized.
Seeing his anxious face, Ling Feng asked, "What’s the rush? Is your house on fire?"
"Sort of. My master has fallen gravely ill and might not make it!" the man said.
"Oh?"
Ling Feng chuckled upon hearing this.
He then quickly said, "Are you looking for a doctor? No need, I’m one!"
"Really?"
The man was taken aback, then quickly said, "Great, please come with me then!"
"Lead the way!"
Ling Feng puffed up his chest and confidently said.
The man turned and jogged, with Ling Feng following right behind.
After a few hundred meters, they entered a grand mansion.
Judging by the house’s grandeur, the owner was undoubtedly wealthy, Ling Feng thought to himself, never mind anything else, today I must strike a good bargain!
Following the man to the back courtyard, as soon as they entered, they heard groans of pain from the house, and the sound of women crying.
The person who brought Ling Feng stood at the door, knocked, and said, "Master, the doctor is here!"
"Please come in!" a woman’s voice called out.
The door opened, and Ling Feng stepped inside.
The room’s decor was quite rustic, not much different from ancient Huaxia residences, with a man lying on the bed, face sallow, breathing heavily, and sweating profusely on his forehead.
Beside the bed sat a middle-aged beautiful woman, around thirty years old, with a face full of anxiety and tear marks on her face.
"Doctor, please, you must save him!" the woman said as she got up.
"Don’t worry, let me check his condition first."
Ling Feng sat by the bed, reached out, and took the man’s wrist.
Feeling his pulse, he found that the man had acute appendicitis, no wonder it was so painful!
This illness was no problem for Ling Feng.
But to earn more compensation, he still furrowed his brow.
Seeing his expression, the woman immediately asked, frightened, "Doctor, h-how is he?"
"With such a severe condition, he might lose his life!" Ling Feng said.
"What?"
The woman was dumbstruck, dropping to the floor with a thud.
Then she quickly scrambled up, "Doctor, I beg you, you must save him, I’ll give you whatever you want!"
Ling Feng thought to himself, that’s exactly what I was waiting for!
He then pretended to ponder for a moment, raised his head, and said, "There is a way to save him, but it’ll take a lot of effort."
With that, the woman immediately understood, quickly turning and shouting, "Lai Fu, go get the money, as much as possible!"
"Alright!"
Lai Fu quickly turned and left to fetch the money.
Ling Feng felt at ease and confidently told the woman, "Rest assured, his condition isn’t too serious, it can be treated!"
"Then please proceed quickly!" the woman said.
Ling Feng nodded, first pressing the man’s acupoints, numbing his pain temporarily so that he could be more comfortable.
After that, he didn’t rush to treat him but patiently waited.
