Payment

"Ho ho ho! Ha!"

As the patient finished his boxing routine, he exhaled loudly, and his skin, which had been taut and relaxed, was covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans.

After sweating several times, Yu Wanzhuo was soaked through, even though he was indoors, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

Finally, he sat down cross-legged on the spot, and suddenly, as if losing all his strength, his head drooped down.

That looked too much like someone who had collapsed from exhaustion.

But soon, others could hear the faint snoring coming from him, his chest rising and falling rhythmically.

He jumped out of bed and started boxing, then fell fast asleep as soon as he finished.

Although Yu Wanzhuo hadn't uttered a single proper word throughout the entire process, his snoring at this moment was much stronger than when he was lying weakly in bed earlier.

Yu Nanfeng's beautiful eyes glanced around, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

Yu Nanfeng could also manipulate others' actions using his internal energy, but that was like controlling a puppet, and it wouldn't have any training effect on the puppet itself.

Chu Tianshu used the remote sensing achieved by the Vertical and Horizontal Simple Seal to make the patient's mental energy and essence circulate together, and he Storming Shaolin boxing style, which was extremely effective for training.

It can be said that after the treatment, there is an immediate effect on the detoxification of the blood and marrow in the brain.

"After all, the chest injury is still there. Too much of a good thing can be bad. Let's stop here for today and continue tomorrow."

Chu Tianshu concealed his aura and looked out the window at the rainy night.

"To practice this kind of boxing, it's best to find a spacious place, with your feet firmly on the ground, running around and looking around. You need to let him grasp the essence, energy, and spirit of the boxing technique himself; only then will it be most effective."

"If the rain stops tomorrow, let him go out for a walk and see a different place."

Yannian observed Yu Wanzhuo's complexion, reached out and briefly felt his pulse, and nodded, saying, "He originally had a considerable foundation in internal strength, but after being poisoned, his meridians and internal strength were almost completely ruined."

"If we can let him go out and experience the spirit of the martial art on his own, he might be able to pick up his original skills again. At that time, he can detoxify on his own, which is more subtle than any external assistance."

This was the doctor's order, and Yu Nanfeng and the others naturally had no reason not to listen.

"Well."

Yu Nanfeng opened the golden folding fan in his hand, then closed it again, not to fan himself, but to calm his mind.

"The fact that the two of you brought thousands of people to Jinling reflects your trust in the living environment of Jinling."

"However, since you're new here, you probably don't have a good place to stay yet. Our South Wind Building is currently expanding into a new residential area, so please take your people and move in first."

Yu Nanfeng smiled and said, "Please don't find it too simple."

Pan Ting was prepared; she turned and went out, probably carrying a stack of documents directly from the next room.

Yannian took the book and flipped through a few pages; they were all about the planning for this new residential area.

At first glance, it seems to be a very sincere effort, but after Yannian read it, he pondered for several dozen seconds.

He said, "This residential area looks like it was planned a long time ago. There must be a group of long-time residents who have been waiting to be allocated housing here, right?"

"Mr. Yannian, there's no need to worry."

Pan Ting chuckled, "We weren't in a rush to invest manpower in this area before, but now that we've given you this residential area, we'll increase our investment of human and material resources."

"A new residential area will be completed soon. The residents who were originally scheduled to move in can do so without too many complaints."

She made it sound so easy.

However, taking over the residential area that others had worked so hard to obtain right away is completely inconsistent with Yannian's original plan.

If this were done, the newly relocated residents would both deepen the subtle sense of rejection among the masses and become deeply bound to South Wind.

It seems that the South Wind provided some convenience in this process, but it's really hard to say who suffered a loss.

"This gift is too extravagant."

Yannian's face showed a mixture of gratitude and unease. He compromised and said, "We country folk all have some skills in renovating houses, and that makes them the most comfortable to live in."

"How about this: the completed residential areas should be allocated to whoever was originally entitled to them, according to the original plan."

"We only ask that the South Wind provide us with some building materials and indicate which of those desolate areas has suitable foundations."

"We'll build ourselves some houses to live in."

Pan Ting smiled, "Why bother? We..."

"Mr. Yannian is a down-to-earth person. There are very few people as sensible as you in this wasteland. You are truly admirable."

Yu Nanfeng suddenly chimed in, saying, "Then let's do it your way."

"However, you have saved my son's life, and to only provide some building materials would make me, Yu Nanfeng, seem shameless and beneath my dignity."

The beautiful woman paced a few steps. "Hmm, I've got it. Since Jinling has grown increasingly powerful, the arms trade can basically be absorbed within the city, and the channels for selling to outsiders have been tightening year after year."

"Mr. Yannian, you probably don't have enough stock left."

"I'll provide you with a batch of guns and ammunition first, and for the next three years, I'll maintain the same price and never arbitrarily raise prices. How about that?"

Yannian's lips moved, but this time he couldn't utter any words of refusal.

Because this is the real benefit.

One of the biggest reasons they would relocate to Jinling is that they don't have enough weapons.

In today's world, guarding against other humans is one thing, but for those Borderland Species, sufficient firepower is needed to protect them in order to feel at ease.

Although Jinling is the largest megacity in the south, it did not prohibit its residents from hoarding weapons or trading ammunition.

Firstly, it is indeed impossible to completely eradicate it, and secondly, there is an objective need for it.

After all, even the outer defense line couldn't guarantee it would stop all the activities of Borderland Species. If it could stop the majority, it was already a testament to their exceptional dedication.

If the residents were truly cut off from ammunition, the death rate in Jinling would certainly reach new highs year after year.

Yannian clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Then thank you very much, Boss Yu."

Yu Nanfeng chuckled and nodded, then looked at Chu Tianshu: "Tianshu, what kind of compensation would you prefer?"

Without hesitation, Chu Tianshu asked, "Does Boss Yu know where that great disaster first broke out?"

Yu Nanfeng was taken aback.

She has keen insight and versatile methods, and can always quickly offer satisfactory terms to her partners after limited contact.

However, she really hadn't anticipated Chu Tianshu's question.

Since everyone in the world has suffered, no one is really going to dwell on who suffered a few days earlier or who encountered danger a few days later.

After all, apart from the first few years, the biggest problem for everyone later on wasn't the zombies.

Rather, it lies in the environmental changes brought about by the landscape of the Spirit Realm, leading to rampant monsters.

To survive in the wasteland, it's best to be pragmatic and focus on the immediate future.

"I will send someone to try and investigate."

Yu Nanfeng didn't directly say he couldn't answer, but instead smiled and said, "Before we find out the results, we should offer Tianshu some other form of compensation, so as not to be impolite."

Chu Tianshu was a little disappointed.

South Wind is already a top-tier power, but it seems they haven't gathered any intelligence on that aspect at all.

"Currently, I'm more interested in the essence and blood of Borderland Species."

Chu Tianshu stated frankly, "The quantity of each type doesn't need to be too large for now, but please provide as many varieties as possible."

Even though they are both of the Lesser Yang Qi, there must be differences in their attributes.

Just like tonics, there can be countless differences. Some tonics may give people a temporary boost, but in the long run, they may not be a good thing.

Chu Tianshu wanted to first select the part of the Sanqi Weapon Soul that was most suitable for him.
