Chapter 184 The Transmigrated Boy Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 31) Perhaps...

Perhaps due to his increased combat power, Mo Kaiyang has been having a lot of fun lately. Once he felt that nothing in this world could harm him, he lost the caution he had when he first transmigrated.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing; it shows he has the ability and confidence to handle any unexpected situation, and it also demonstrates his increasing adaptability to the world.

Therefore, faced with the endless stream of scammers, Mo Kaiyang did not deal with them immediately. Instead, he activated a soundproof talisman and a defensive talisman, and then went to sleep wrapped in a blanket.

He and Lin You were staying in two adjacent guest rooms, separated only by a wall. The talisman completely enveloped both rooms, so whether new performers would come outside the door was none of their business.

If you ignore the impromptu performances, Mo Kaiyang's money was well spent; the room was nicely decorated and furnished, and the sheets and blankets were all brand new.

Of course, most importantly, the food here is incredibly diverse; the menus alone are thick, covering almost all local specialties, and you can even order à la carte.

I heard that the chefs were all imperial chefs who came from the palace back then, and even the current imperial chefs in the palace are not as good as them.

Although this was just a rumor, it did confirm the chef's skill level at the restaurant; at least the dishes Lin You and Mo Kaiyang ate were delicious.

Because of this, the two of them decided not to change locations until they had tried all the dishes there.

The next morning, the two of them got up early, which was unusual for them, and wanted to find the restaurant manager to ask him what was going on. However, when the manager saw them, he showed no remorse whatsoever.

They not only greeted us warmly, but also introduced us to some local specialties, including beautiful scenery, delicious food, and even beautiful women.

She looked just like a madam in a brothel in a TV drama.

At first, Mo Kaiyang and Lin You thought it was because he was a good actor, but as he went further and further off track, they realized that something seemed a little off.

Why is it that all the things this guy introduces are about brothels, and they involve both men and women?

Seeing that they hadn't spoken for a while, the shopkeeper emphasized, "Although we do have fewer men here, they are all stunning beauties. Just tell us what type you like, and we'll make sure you're satisfied."

Lin You: …………?

Mo Kaiyang: …………? ?

Finally realizing what was happening, Mo Kaiyang quickly asked, "These... and those from last night, are they all included in the room rate?"

The shopkeeper immediately nodded, revealing a fawning smile, "The two of you have offered the highest price here. You've already booked the entire place. We can take any girl in the building who takes a fancy to you and have her served."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and suddenly a dozen girls and seven or eight boys appeared out of nowhere, winking and waving handkerchiefs in the direction of the two of them.

"...How much did you spend?" Lin You couldn't help but look at Mo Kaiyang. This wasn't a restaurant; it was a brothel.

Mo Kaiyang blinked guiltily, then held up two fingers, "Two thousand taels of silver, for one day."

In a place where a steamed bun cost only one copper coin, this was roughly equivalent to taking one million to a high-end club in modern times and having the owner arrange a day's worth of food, drinks, and entertainment for that amount.

This isn't like modern times where ingredients can be transported from all over the world. At most, you can eat duck tongues, goose feet, and fish bone marrow, but even with these, a table of food would only cost a few dozen taels of silver at most.

The remaining money was naturally used to arrange some entertainment programs.

"So, you arranged everything last night?" Mo Kaiyang rubbed his head. No wonder he felt that the group was too blatant and their performance was too deliberate.

So there really was a script.

"It's alright if you two don't like any of them, we have others. If you have any ideas, just tell us, and we'll make sure you're satisfied~" The shopkeeper drew out a meaningful tone, which made Mo Kaiyang shudder.

Looking at his somewhat lewd smile, Mo Kaiyang suddenly realized that it was one thing for a peerless master who looked very old, but what kind of ghost was this kid!

Does he really look that much like a pervert?!

When he asked that question, the boss explained that the child was actually not young, but he had a small frame and looked much younger.

In this ancient era where eleven or twelve-year-olds could get married and eighteen-year-olds could be mothers of several children, Mo Kaiyang didn't want to argue about such things with anyone.

He was about to emphasize that the money was only for accommodation and food expenses, but then he suddenly felt that he might be putting people in a difficult position.

In the end, they had no choice but to explain the situation to the shopkeeper and then hold a three-day banquet in the name of Fuyoumen.

"It was my oversight. I didn't expect that we couldn't even spend two thousand taels of silver here. This is all we can do." After saying that, Mo Kaiyang even sighed in a pretentious manner, which left the shopkeeper stunned.

These days, even the princes and nobles in the capital city wouldn't be so extravagant as to spend two thousand taels of silver a day on food and lodging!

Mo Kaiyang's clothes were produced by the Golden Finger Mall. They looked unremarkable, and if you looked closely, you really couldn't tell where the material came from, but the quality was absolutely top-notch, even surpassing the tribute items.

Lin You was wearing a low-grade spiritual artifact that Ye Zhen had dug out from some secret realm back in the cultivation world. Although it had little offensive or defensive power, it could convert a lot of energy into spiritual energy.

For a cultivator like Lin You who doesn't know what kind of living environment he will be in, it is quite suitable, and the material is naturally not something that ordinary people can tell.

For a moment, the shopkeeper couldn't tell whether he was simply ignorant or if the old man had some other purpose.

Anyway, the money is already in his pocket, so he's the one who pays it; everything else is none of his business.

The banquet was quite effective; within a few days, the local martial arts community knew that the Fuyou Sect had sent a foolish, rich spendthrift.

His previous beggar-like appearance was rather low-key, and his nickname only came out at the banquet. It's unclear whether the people in the martial arts world accepted the style of the Fuyou Sect or if that's really the level they were at, but the nickname remained the same as before, in the style of the zoo: "Golden Retriever".

Upon hearing this, Mo Kaiyang looked at Lin You beside him and said, "Sister, are you really my sister? Is this really not a nickname you gave me?"

The name "Golden Retriever" sounds so modern!

"If I were to get up, I'd probably look like a golden retriever." Lin You shook her head, suppressing a laugh. Seeing that Mo Kaiyang was still a little depressed, she comforted him, "It's not bad, at least it's not a husky."

Mo Kaiyang was depressed for two days, and finally, following the principle of "if you can't beat someone, join them," he created a new alias.

She was dressed in a dazzling array of jewels, shimmering and golden, and even gave herself the nickname "Lucky Cat."

To fit his new persona, Mo Kaiyang acted like a spendthrift, throwing away tens of thousands of taels of silver in just a few days, and even adopted a personality that wouldn't honor his promise to the golden retriever.

Lin You was forced to wear beggar's clothes and fought with him from the south of the city to the north, causing chaos and excitement along the way.

Lin You didn't know if her martial arts skills were amazing, but she certainly spent a lot of money on compensation for the broken things.

On the second floor of an inconspicuous little tavern next to the street, Yan Junke watched the fight between the two outside the window, lost in thought. Xiao Fengming, who was opposite him, also paid more attention to the outside world.

He watched for a while before turning to Yan Junke and asking, "What are these two people's martial arts skills?"

Yan Junke nodded, "No less than you or me."

Some of his movements seemed a bit clumsy, even comical, but every move was just right. He didn't hurt a single passerby from beginning to end, and even caught a child who almost fell down the steps.

"This Fuyou Sect, I don't know where it came from, it's really quite strange." Xiao Fengming poured himself another glass of wine and looked at it with great interest.

The one dressed as a beggar was alright; although he suppressed his true strength, he didn't make many unnecessary movements. It was obvious he was forced to play along.

But the one adorned with jewelry, who was clearly as light as a swallow, deliberately turned around at his doorway to show off, stepping on the support pole above the door to take turns, and even kicked the pole off.

Even though it was his own shop, Xiao Fengming wasn't angry. It was just a bamboo pole, and he could watch such a good show. He wasn't at a loss.

I must say, this fight was much more exciting than any theatrical performance.

"It is said that the leader of the Fuyou Sect is named Mo Kaiyang. I wonder if he is the same person as your young brother?" Yan Junke said casually.

Xiao Fengming immediately understood his meaning, "So that's why you insisted on participating in this sword competition, and dragged me along too. It turns out your old man kicked you out to find some wine."

He said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Brother Mo's wine is no ordinary product. Even if there is any left, there probably isn't much left. I wonder how long it will last the old man to squander it."

This old man from the Yan family never listens to reason when it comes to alcohol.

Yan Junke didn't want to deal with this troublesome friend, but he really needed to mediate this matter, so he changed the subject and said, "Although the Fuyou Sect does things in a somewhat unconventional way, its original intention is good. If we are destined, I would really like to get to know this Sect Master Mo."

"Although Kaiyang's swordsmanship is superb, he is not one to compete for fame and fortune. I can't guarantee he'll come here to join the fun."

Yan Junke glanced at the bustling street below, then thought about the recently rising Fuyou Gate, silently poured himself a cup of tea, and refrained from commenting on his friend's thoughts.

The two were talking in a low voice and in a relatively secluded location, but Mo Kaiyang was, after all, a cultivator. Recently, in order to improve his cultivation efficiency and achieve sword flight as soon as possible, he had specially activated his divine sense projection.

Naturally, they noticed the commotion and realized that the two were discussing someone else—themselves.

Just as Xiao Fengming was discussing with Yan Junke where this young brother Mo might go to join in the fun, there was a sudden knock on the door of their private room.

A subordinate came to report that the "lucky cat" who was fighting had broken a support pole at the entrance of the restaurant, had to pay ten taels of silver in compensation, and had to apologize to the owner in person.

"Then please come up, and bring over another table of fine wine and dishes," Xiao Fengming instructed, as if this person had sensed something.

No sooner had his subordinate left than a figure darted over, faster than the two of them. Yan Junke immediately became alert, and Xiao Fengming gripped his sword tightly.

Then he heard a familiar voice, "Brother Xiao, did you catch any fish?"

Xiao Fengming looked at the dazzling "lucky cat" dressed up in front of him, hesitated for a long time before speaking: "...Kaiyang?"

Mo Kaiyang nodded happily, removed his makeup, and took off his outermost coat, which was embroidered with gold thread and inlaid with gemstones. He then took off all the pearls and agates hanging on his hands, arms, and neck, rolled them up in the coat, and put them away, thus restoring himself to his original appearance.

Yan Junke: ………

This was the first time he had ever met someone who ignored him so completely.

Moreover, such a change of appearance should be a very private matter, right? Is it really okay to be so uninhibited in front of a stranger?

Lin You had already concealed herself when Xiao Fengming appeared. This was the person Mo Kaiyang had the most contact with in this world besides Wan Jun, and also the first friend he recognized.

Although he has been in this world for almost a year, Mo Kaiyang still doesn't feel a sense of belonging. Fortunately, he has friends to keep him company, so he won't be too bored after he leaves.

Having learned from her previous experience, Lin You didn't plan to have too much contact with Mo Kaiyang's friends, lest she have to fake her death again.

Even if she's been dead for a long time, she doesn't want to hear the wailing at a funeral a second time.

Although Xiao Fengming doesn't seem like the type to cry, it would be exhausting if everyone thought he was dead and felt sorry for Mo Kaiyang every time he was mentioned. He knew the truth but still had to pretend he was really dead.

As for how Lin You found out about this, she had to thank the customer service representative, Apiao, who was slacking off at work. Apiao not only took many pictures of Song Yu's expressions, but also edited them into a short video and sent it to Lin You.

Song Yu, an award-winning actor, always has a toothache expression on his face at this point, so let's not let Mo Kaiyang repeat the same mistake.

However, this behind-the-scenes work is easy. It doesn't require any physical labor or brainpower. You just need to take a look every now and then. Fortunately, the salary and benefits are not as good as his own, otherwise Lin You would really feel a bit unbalanced.

Hearing her say that, A Piao secretly rolled her eyes. Did she think all newbie systems were as weird as her?
