Chapter 25: Money Moves People’s Hearts

After dragging the fat man's body into the Taiyan boat and simply cleaning up the blood on the ground, Li Fan returned to the house as if nothing had happened.

"It's really confusing." Li Fan commented.

This fat man obviously hasn't figured out the situation yet. Relying on his little cleverness, he found that Li Fan might have sneaked in under an assumed name, so he came over impatiently to threaten him, probably to gain some benefits from Li Fan.

But he didn't think about it. It's true that Li Fan sneaked into this Liuli Island. But didn't they, the group of people from the outer world, also get the household registration by pretending to be disaster victims?

What is the essential difference between them and him, Li Fan?

Once they get the household registration of Liuli Island, they really regard themselves as natives.

Li Fan saw it very clearly. The immortal master who covered his face and came to meet him before, and the Tianbao Tower where Sun Zhang was, acted very cautiously, for fear of being known by others.

It is obvious that the identity of mortals in their exile is not open to the public.

Because of this, Li Fan killed the fat man who came to threaten him without knowing whether to live or die.

He didn't believe that Tianbao Tower and Lijie would investigate this in a big way.

Besides, even if they found out that the fat man had come to Li Fan before he disappeared, they couldn't even find the body now. As long as Li Fan insisted that he had never seen him, they couldn't do anything to Li Fan.

After all, if the matter got out of hand, it would not be good for both parties.

And if Li Fan hesitated and didn't dare to take action, leaving the fat man alive might cause all kinds of troubles.

So Li Fan decisively chose to nip the potential threat in the bud.

...

As Li Fan expected, a few days passed, and except for Su Changyu who came to ask about it, the fat man's inexplicable disappearance did not attract the attention of anyone else.

This incident was just a small episode in Li Fan's life on the island, and he soon put it behind him.

These days, while Li Fan was inquiring about various affairs on the island, he was planning how to reasonably use the treasures in the Taiyan Boat.

Gradually, Li Fan had a general understanding of the Liuli Island where he was now.

This sea area is called Congyun Sea.

Congyun Sea is vast and boundless, with tens of thousands of islands of various sizes scattered around.

Liuli Island is located in the south of the central sea area of ​​Congyun, and its size is medium.

Because the sea area around the island is rich in a kind of delicious Liuli fish, it is named Liuli Island.

Liuli fish is not only very popular among mortals on the surrounding islands, but even some immortal masters use Liuli beads that occasionally appear in the body of Liuli fish in their elixirs.

Therefore, there are immortal masters in Liuli Island, and a certain number of Liuli beads are collected every year.

Immortal masters generally do not ask about worldly affairs, and ordinary people can hardly see them. Liuli Island's affairs, big and small, are generally governed by the Liuli Mansion established by the owner of Liuli Island.

Residents on the island can get a job in Liuli Mansion. The higher the risk factor of the job, the higher the remuneration.

Among them, fishing for Liuli fish is the most popular.

Not only is there no big risk, but the reward is also good.

More importantly, only 70% of the glass fish caught need to be handed over, and 30% can be kept for sale.

So this fishing job is really popular.

Unfortunately, it takes a big ship to go out to sea, and the glass fish school is erratic. Finding it requires a special spiritual guide made on the island.

The spiritual guide will only be issued by the Liuli Mansion when going out to sea, and it will be taken back after returning.

Fishing privately is impossible. And once caught, they will be executed directly.

So this fishing of glass fish can only be carried out with the permission of the Liuli Mansion.

And those who can go out to sea to fish are the envy of the residents on the island.

A few days ago, a fleet that went out to sea, in addition to catching a lot of glass fish, also encountered a shipwreck.

It is said that this ship was for the whole family to escape from the storm, so it carried more than a dozen boxes of gold, silver and jewelry!

At this moment, all of them are cheap for the fleet.

Regarding the items salvaged from the shipwreck, the rules on the island are the same as those for the glass fish, and you can keep 30% of them!

So, when the fleet returned to the port, half of the island was in an uproar.

Even the island's treasurer, Manager Qian, came to check it out in person.

Seeing the fleet members almost grinning, many people on the island were jealous.

They began to look for connections in private, hoping to get a qualification for the next sea voyage.

...

In Li Fan's opinion, he could use the same operation to slowly whitewash the countless treasures on the Taiyan Boat, and the risk was relatively small.

The only difficulty was how to get the qualification to go to sea alone.

The existence of the Taiyan Boat must not be exposed.

There were too many people on the island who wanted to join the fleet. After asking around, Li Fan found out the key.

The three confidants under the Liuli Island Lord, Manager Zhao was responsible for personnel on the island, Manager Qian was responsible for property, and Manager Zhou was responsible for public security.

Most of the quotas for the fleet to go to sea were in the hands of Manager Qian. Manager Zhao and Manager Zhou have always wanted to intervene, but they were always firmly controlled by Manager Qian. They only got one or two fleets.

Where there are people, there is struggle.

Li Fan remembered the reaction of Manager Zhao when he saw him on the day of naturalization, and thought that maybe he could meet this Manager Zhao.

But Manager Zhao is not someone that Li Fan can meet just because he wants to.

Li Fan decided to follow the path of Sun Zhang of Tianbao Tower.

After finding out the location, Li Fan came to the door of Tianbao Tower and wanted to meet Sun Zhang.

But he was turned away.

"Go away, what is the status of our Elder Sun? You can see him whenever you want? Go away!" Several big men in black at the door looked at Li Fan with ill intentions, as if they were going to fight if they disagreed.

Seeing this, Li Fan had no choice but to leave first.

He felt a little strange in his heart. Tianbao Tower was open for business after all. How could they drive people out without seeing them?

Moreover, these big men in black made the decision without asking for instructions, as if they had known who Li Fan was for a long time...

"They must have received instructions and deliberately refused to see me." Coming to the conclusion, Li Fan guessed that something happened to the people in the Lijie, causing Sun Zhang to turn his face and refuse to recognize him.

After some inquiries, Li Fan knew what happened.

It turned out that Su Changyu resolutely chose to become the immortal master's experimental subject in order to get rid of the miasma in his body as soon as possible.

Before leaving, Su Changyu signed his name on the remaining contract.

Since then, the three contracts have been completed and the contract has completely dissipated.

There is no connection between Lijie and Tianbao Tower anymore.

"No wonder they suddenly turned against each other and deliberately avoided us. I just didn't expect Su Changyu to be so decisive." Li Fan sighed.

"Hey, we all advised him not to be so anxious. But he was not willing to listen!" Li Fan also knew the person who said this. It was Xiao Heng who claimed to be the son of the King of Zhennan in the cave of Tianbao Tower.

Xiao Heng seemed to have a very good relationship with Su Changyu. At this moment, he was extremely depressed: "If it weren't for saving his terminally ill sister, Brother Su wouldn't have tried so hard."

Li Fan listened to this and thought about it.
