Chapter 155 Borrowing some High-Interest Loans (4100) (Thanks to Lakeside Reservoir for the 15,000 Starting Coins Reward)

Donghai County, Anta City, a train station on the outskirts of the city.

On the rectangular platform of about 20 meters, passengers in various clothes were carrying suitcases and quietly waiting for the train to arrive. Until a distant whistle sounded, everyone turned their heads to look.

In the distance, the black and red steam train seemed to breathe, puffing out white steam like clouds. Under the shining sun, it was covered with a layer of brilliance.

As the car body approached, the ground began to tremble slightly. White steam continued to emerge along the rails, and the entire locomotive was surrounded. There was a smell of coal smoke in the steam.

Huh~ The square front of the train was approaching like a meteor.

The door opened, and passengers from other cities to Anta City came down one after another. A black boot stepped on the dark gray platform, and the man with a cold temperament looked up at the sky. Then he squeezed into the crowd and headed towards the city.

After half a month, Kaxiu returned here again.

He came from Donghai City to Anta City. During this time, Kaxiu went to Wenmingda University again and found Professor Tenasi who helped him decipher the ancient text information last time. It was the same as before. With money in hand, everything is easy.

Kaxiu also made a small incentive to speed up.

Probably, the shorter the time, the more money Professor Tenasi can get. Under the temptation of huge profits, Professor Tenasi will definitely be able to achieve the deciphering efficiency that Kaxiu is satisfied with.

Moreover, according to Professor Tenasi himself. The parchment that Kaxiu gave him and the map a few months ago seemed to be antiques from the same era or a similar era. With the foundation of deciphering the map information before, deciphering the parchment will be faster.

After getting off the train station, Kaxiu returned to the house he bought in Anta City, which is one of his bases.

After a short rest and a lunch.

Kaxiu carried a beige suitcase and came to a narrow road in the suburbs of Anta City where few people went.

Next to the path was a pile of weeds and gravel, on which stood a straight and slender bronze column with mottled colors.

He took out the bell and began to shake it as usual.

The world was in a trance, and Kaxiu entered the rainy world of Black Rain Villa. The originally clear sky was replaced by dense dark clouds, and drizzles of rain kept falling from the sky.

A black carriage trampled over the mud.

Kaxiu glanced at the coachman covered in a cloak, took a tentative step towards the carriage, and then got into the carriage.

The two strong black horses in front gradually stepped forward, and the carriage began to move forward, with the wheels turning.

A minute later, Kaxiu in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief. This time, Black Rain Villa did not target him, otherwise he would have to take out the armored carriage prepared last time.

An hour later, the crossbow stream station.

Kaxiu stood in front of the door holding an umbrella, and reached out his hand to knock gently on the wooden door. Someone came over and opened the door immediately.

"Hello...ah, it's Mr. Dusk."

The person who came to open the door was a young man in his twenties with delicate features and golden curly hair. It was Yiri, who had worked with Kaxiu before, and later Kaxiu introduced him to the Crossbow Stream.

"Mr. Dusk, come in quickly."

The young man smiled and stepped aside.

"Yes." Kaxiu nodded slightly and walked in.

He took the key and opened the door. The layout inside had not been touched, but there was not much dust on the ground, which should have been cleaned by someone. Kaxiu made the bed, then took the things he needed to take and walked all the way across the street to the baptismal church.

This time, there were quite a few people in the church hall. They rested for a while and then entered the empty secret rooms.

Kaxiu glanced in the hall, walked past the gorgeous caisson, passed a large black bench, and stood in front of the prayer table. On the table was an old, dark, yellowed scripture.

As if sensing someone approaching, the candlesticks on both sides of the prayer table were suddenly lit, emitting a strong white light. The Night Stranger who was looking over here not far away suddenly couldn't see clearly.

But Kaxiu, who was standing nearby, was not affected by the light.

The scripture in front of him began to turn pages automatically. The yellowed paper slid all the way to the atonement task.

The font of the atonement task turned into a fluid blood red.

Kaxiu had a blank expression on his face and took out a repaired map and a piece of gravel the size of an ear from his arms.

The two items were immediately placed on both sides of the pages of the scripture.

Beep...

The blood-red font began to deform and twist, and finally it passed through the paper like blood, climbing onto the map and the gravel. Finally, it completely wrapped up the two things.

At the same time, as if a strong wind was blowing, the scripture began to turn pages crazily. The paper flipped back and forth, and the last few pages suddenly broke away and suddenly burned in mid-air.

The flames rolled in the air, and finally black embers fell.

Kaxiu felt a chill on the back of his right hand, and when he looked up, he found that the shield mark had returned to normal, and the spear that pierced the shield disappeared. He was considered to have successfully redeemed his sins.

Hualala... hualala... hualala...

On the prayer table, the scriptures were turning pages frantically. This situation made people feel that the villa was extremely uneasy at the moment.

Kaxiu's eyes were calm and he turned around decisively.

He didn't care about anything the villa did next after learning the address of the ruins, because the villa itself might be difficult to protect in a while. Moreover, this was just a historical review.

In the eyes of some people, Cassius walked out of the baptismal church.

His next move is naturally...to borrow money from usury.

Card Xiu estimated that if everything went well, people from the northern secret martial arts community would come soon, and he would have to let them see the effect of the secret power. He doesn't have any dark source of energy now, all of it was consumed before going to find the ruins.

It's too troublesome to accept the mission now, so it's better to "borrow" it.

After walking out of the baptismal church, Card Xiu did not return to the Crossbow Station, but went to the eastern area of ​​Black Rain Villa first.

There is a very famous place here, the Iron Blood Bar.

The inside of the bar was still lively, with some people sipping drinks and others bragging loudly.

Ka Xiu randomly picked a remote table and ordered a glass of wine. His eyes swept across the bar, waiting for the news dealer to appear.

Only five or six minutes later, a thin, short, red-haired man walked in, and there seemed to be a customer next to him. The two of them chose a seat while chatting.

Not long after he sat down, Ka Xiu stood up and walked over.

The little man turned around and took a look, and realized it was Ka Xiu, and he understood immediately. The two of them walked towards the remote alleyway to the back door.

"Have there been any changes to the five borrowing channels you gave me last time?" Card Xiu glanced at the alleyway and asked slowly.

"There is indeed one." The little man recalled for a moment.

"The Arthropod Group, a branch of the Dark Flow, may have stopped doing business recently. They seem to be organizing a large-scale group mission and have no time to deal with lending services." The little man is a professional information dealer and can get well-informed first-hand information. .

"Aren't you going to do it?" Card Xiu was slightly disappointed.

"Yes, it is true that the Arthropod Group has stopped doing it. But..."

Ka Xiu handed over a stack of federal banknotes expressionlessly.

"Hehe." The little red-haired man smiled, with an inexplicably wretched expression: "I have another channel here, which is a branch of the Dark Flow, the Ghost Face Club. They have also recently started to provide lending services. This is the transaction address and business hours. ”

He handed over a piece of paper with writing on it.

Ka Xiu put his hand into his arms.

"By the way, don't blame me for not reminding you. The people in the Grimace Club are all seriously ill, and the sequelae of dark surgery are very serious. They sometimes become delirious, and their debt collection methods may be bloody and brutal. It is recommended to borrow from them. It’s time to think carefully…”

The little man reminded.

Card Xiu smiled: "They will thank you."

"ah?"

"nothing."

Ka Xiu patted the little man on the shoulder: "Please."

After saying that, he turned and left the alley.

"Why are those lunatics from the Grimace Club thanking me for bringing them a new customer?" The little red-haired man shrugged indifferently and took a banknote from his shoulder.

He flicked it with his hand and whistled.

"Whatever, let's go drink..."

Half an hour later.

To the east of Black Rain Villa, the Black Wolf Club is stationed.

"How much can a single person borrow here?" Card Xiu was chatting with a middle-aged man with freckles on his face across from him.

"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows: "Is it urgent?"

"It's urgently needed." Card Xiu said randomly. Anyway, he couldn't return this dark source of matter, so he could just borrow it.

"Then... okay. Let's go to the back of the room and talk in detail."

The man stood up and led the way in front of Ka Xiu.

Ten minutes later, Death Eye stronghold.

A tall man in black walked in from outside the lobby. His first sentence was to give me a luxury loan package.

To the south of Black Rain Villa, there is Dark Flow and Ghostface's stronghold.

Ka Xiu looked at a piece of paper posted on the edge of the table, which contained detailed instructions on loan interest. Ten days, 20%; 20 days, 3rd floor; 30 days, 40%... There are also usury calculated in this way.

He is indeed a lunatic who often has problems with his brain, and his method of calculating interest is also lunatic. However, they borrowed quite a lot of dark essence, so they probably weren't afraid that others wouldn't return it...

After thinking for a moment, Ka Xiu raised his head.

"Give me the maximum amount I can borrow for a shield level..."

At dusk, he visited all five loan sharking channels. The dark source of energy in hand is unprecedentedly abundant, and the resources obtained by fighting alone are still not as many as those of a group.

With a bunch of mission credentials, he returned to the Crossbow Stream.

It is impossible for Ka Xiu to borrow so much dark source matter without using it. It is just a joke to experience the fun of harvesting wool. When the joint representatives of the northern secret martial arts world enter Black Rain Villa, these dark source materials will be useful. Ka Xiu's use of the power of the secret soul by himself still lacks some convincing, so he has to get a group of Eye monsters to also use the power of the secret soul to compare the effect.

July 8th, 107th year of the Hongli Federation calendar.

He left Black Rain Villa and headed to Donghai City.

Kaxiu and Mian made an agreement to meet at the famous Flower Fountain Square in Donghai City. So he rented a house opposite the Blossoming Fountain Square and near Li Lun Senior Apartment.

When I live here on weekdays, I have to pass through the square when I go out.

If Mian and the others come, Ka Xiu will be the first to see them. Moreover, it is not far from Wenmingda University.

He can occasionally check on the professor's work progress.

More than 500 meters away on the west side of Blossom Fountain Square, there is an iron fist martial arts gym, which is a medium-sized venue.

It was afternoon and the entire venue was booked.

In the venue, a strong man with his upper body naked put his fists together on his chest. His whole body was muscular, and his skin had a marble-like hardness, as if he was wearing armor.

The sun shone in from the window, and the surface of his body was shining with a rock-white light. Kaxiu glanced around lightly.

"Use your greatest strength, don't hold back."

Next to him, seven or eight strong men with equally impressive muscles looked at each other. They immediately raised their sticks and rushed over, hitting Kaxiu with a violent storm.

"Okay, use more strength! Try harder."

Kaxiu stood there as steady as a mountain, allowing them to hit him. He even kept speaking to encourage a few people.

"Is that all the strength you have?! You are as soft as a woman! How can you deserve so many federal coins!"

The strong man in the Iron Fist Martial Arts School was so excited that he immediately hit harder, and the hot sweat that poured out instantly soaked his vest.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."

The sound of hammering like raindrops continued to echo on the field.

Crack!

A strong arm swung over and directly broke three wooden sticks that were thrown at him. Kaxiu patted his chest in dissatisfaction.

"It doesn't work... Don't use fragile wooden sticks, use steel pipes. If you are strong, you can use the hammer over there."

"If you hit me well, everyone will get a tip."

He clasped his hands in front of his chest and watched the strong men of the Iron Fist Martial Arts School throw away their sticks and take steel pipes and hammers.

"Come on!"

Kaxiu's whole body shook, and his muscle contours bulged again.

The hammer banged, the steel pipe banged, and the sound of hammering continued.

"Ah~ Very good, that's it! I feel it."

"It has to be this level to be strong enough, comfortable..."

At dusk, at the edge of the field of the Iron Fist Martial Arts School.

A strong man in the martial arts school swung the steel pipe with all his strength for the last time, and with a bang, the steel pipe was bent. The strong man took two steps back and looked back. The ground was full of bent steel pipes. There were three or four fellow apprentices lying on the ground gasping for breath.

The white vests they were wearing were completely soaked, and the whole person looked like he had just been fished out of the water. The strong man stretched out his trembling hand and wiped the sweat on his face and eyelids that was about to affect his vision. He turned his head and looked at the center of the venue.

The muscular man named Huanghun still had no expression on his face. He held his hands in front of his chest, like a majestic mountain.

The hammer and steel pipe swung with all his strength could not hurt him at all.

It is said that this man practiced a hard qigong.

He had heard of hard qigong.

But this was the first time he had seen such a hard one!

The strong man moved a step to the left, and his legs softened immediately, and he sat down. There was only Kaxiu standing on the entire venue.

Kaxiu glanced at the upper right corner, and his expression did not change.

"Let's stop here for today. Inform the next group of people and ask them to be ready at 3 pm tomorrow..."
