Chapter 181
Chapter 181
In the bedroom, Jiang Cheng yawned and slowly woke up.
Last night, he had changed into a uniform and successfully infiltrated the Four Seasons Garden Community, also locating the two households.
The outcome, of course, goes without saying.
On his way back, he was extra cautious, even when returning to his own community, he climbed over the wall.
Before taking action, he also tried to extort as much money as possible from them.
After all, the money from those two people was ill-gotten, and he didn't feel any pressure in taking it.
It was just a little unexpected.
In Gao Songbai's safe, there was less than 200,000 yuan.
At first glance, it seemed very incompatible with his identity.
But after careful thought, it was very likely that he had spent all the ill-gotten gains on cultivation, and as a fellow Primordial Energy Warrior, Jiang Cheng could understand this.
Wan Yuliang's family indeed had a significant amount of money.
The two safes combined had nearly 1.5 million yuan!
If you also counted the briefcase they brought, it exceeded 2 million yuan! In other words, he now had over 2.8 million yuan in cash, and if you included gold and silver jewelry, it would undoubtedly surpass 3 million yuan.
When he returned, he took advantage of his family's deep sleep to put the money in a bag and hide it in a sofa in the living room. He placed the other bags containing some valuable items, including the Visualization Chart, in his room.
He did this for two reasons: firstly, there was too much money, and he couldn't explain it if Chen Sao and the others saw it; secondly, he was afraid that someone with ill intentions might search his room, and he didn't want to take any risks.
After doing all this, he secretly sighed to himself that if he wanted to earn this much money on a mission, it would take at least 10 missions.
And that's assuming each mission goes as smoothly as the first one.
But Bing Li had mentioned that it was a special arrangement for him as a newcomer, and if he wanted more lucrative missions in the future, he could tell from Nightingales's performance that earning 700,000 yuan from a single mission was already a huge sum for her.
However, when it came to those with ill-gotten gains in the city, they could obtain two to three million yuan in just one night.
The gap between them was undoubtedly significant.
But so were the risks.
The incident in Ruo Luozi Lane, if nothing unexpected happened, would soon spread throughout the outer city.
Needless to say, the Law Enforcement Bureau would spare no effort in their investigation, and the consequences of being caught by them were unimaginable.
The Dawn Society also needed to be watched closely.
This money couldn't be directly deposited into the society's account, although it would be convenient to buy as many potions and secret martial arts as they wanted. Doing so would be like advertising their wealth, making it difficult to avoid suspicion.
It could only be spent in the black market.
Jiang Cheng checked the calendar on his phone and frowned.
There was still about a week until the middle of the month.
"It's a bit too long."
He scratched his head.
Fortunately, he could take some Spirit Soothing Pills to help him break through to the third layer.
According to Shi Yan, after reaching the third layer, he would be ready to go. His father's tragedy was mainly due to bad luck.
The location of the black market was no secret to those who held bid tokens, but without money, one couldn't buy anything.
So many people had ill intentions and specifically targeted others near the black market entrance for robbery.
If one lacked confidence in their abilities, they would choose to go in the afternoon when there were more people on the road, making it less likely for the robbers to act recklessly.
Going early was also fine; one could exchange items with others, including secret martial arts, although judging their authenticity was challenging. Even if one was scammed, the black market organizers wouldn't care.
Once the time was right, the auction would begin.
The so-called "token" is actually a bidding number.
Everyone who goes to the black market agrees with this method.
Because if it's a free trade, who knows if the secret martial arts being sold are real or fake? Maybe even the money used to buy things is counterfeit.
By conducting an auction, everyone trusts that the black market provides genuine goods, and no one dares to use fake money for purchases. If someone has something they want to sell, they can also entrust it to the black market, which, as the organizer, earns money and naturally is willing to maintain its reputation. It will also put effort into ensuring safety.
For example, the teleportation array.
With the black market at its center, the teleportation array can reach anywhere within a 500-meter radius.
After completing the transaction, customers can use the teleportation array to teleport to any location according to their preferences.
In this case, the probability of being blocked is very low.
But if you frequently walk by the river, you're bound to get wet. If you're unlucky enough to encounter trouble, then it's up to your own luck.
Out of caution, it's best to go when you're stronger.
At the third rank, you might still be timid.
But at the sixth rank, you'll have more confidence.
If you're at the ninth rank, you should be able to walk through the black market without a care.
However, the three million in his hands is a bit hot, and if he doesn't spend it, it will always just be a pile of paper.
Jiang Cheng was in a dilemma.
On the one hand, he wanted to reach the third rank and then immediately go to the black market to buy a large number of Spirit Soothing Pills and practice the Visualization Technique to a proficient level.
At that time, his cultivation speed would definitely be faster.
But on the other hand, he felt it was better to play it safe. After all, even if he encountered those people and had a gun, the outcome would still be hard to predict. It would be better to spend more time and cultivate the Crystal Shattering Technique to the Perfection Level, raising his strength to the fifth rank. Then, he could also improve his newly acquired Seven Star Palm. At that point, his true strength might reach the sixth or even seventh rank, and then he could go to the black market with much more assurance.
Moreover, after returning, he could go back to the slums and settle an old grudge.
A mere second or third-rank Force Knight would be no match for him; he could kill them with a single slap.
If that Pavilion Master didn't know his place, he could also kill him with a single slap.
But doing this would take a considerable amount of time.
"Knock, knock."
Knocking sounds came from outside the door.
"Xiao Cheng, are you up? Breakfast is ready."
Chen Sao's voice sounded from outside.
"Coming."
Jiang Cheng hid the bag of money...
Let's eat first.
After breakfast, Jiang Cheng headed to the headquarters.
As soon as he got off the elevator and started walking, he heard people discussing around him.
"Did you hear? Many people from the East City Enforcement Bureau died last night."
"I heard about it. They say they were trying to capture a murderer, deployed over ten vehicles and thirty to forty people, but they were all wiped out. Hehehe."
"It's good that those useless people died. They never do anything proper and only bully ordinary folks."
Some people were gleeful at the misfortune, some sneered repeatedly, and some remained unmoved, clearly having no favorable impression of the Enforcement Bureau.
"How did they die?"
Someone who was unaware asked curiously.
"I heard they were shot. The murderer's marksmanship was excellent, almost every shot was a headshot, and even their bulletproof vests were useless."
"What do you mean? Was the murderer alone?"
"Seems like it."
"Wow, one person killed over thirty? And every shot was a headshot? What kind of marksmanship is that?"
"I feel like that guy's marksmanship could rival the Sea of Stars."
Just then, Jiang Cheng walked over.
Everyone froze for a moment, and then someone joked, "Sea of Stars, that thing last night, it wasn't you, was it?"
