Let's stabilize the channels first before talking about penetration. One must take things one step at a time... Fortunately, this shouldn't be too difficult. He had noticed earlier that Cheng Gujian wasn't really affected by his abilities, but he was genuinely interested, even to the point of being somewhat fanatical.
However, he also didn't think Xie Qingyan and Jiang Chengcheng were oblivious to these things; they were simply being sarcastic because they were jealous.
You guys are so naive.
"Hmph."
The white-haired little girl grinned smugly and said, "Only I guessed right! Daddy, are you going to give me a reward?"
Xu Shi didn't hold back and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, making the old lady beam with joy.
"...Okay, okay, so how do you plan to negotiate?"
Having their secret thoughts exposed, Jiang Chengcheng and Xie Qingyan both turned their heads away simultaneously—it was just sour grapes...
"Let's try to see if we can become friends."
Xu Shi squinted his eyes. "I've prepared all the gifts."
As they were talking, Xiaomei knocked on the door. "Mr. Xu, I've taken care of the task you asked me to do."
Upon opening the door, the other party directed people to carry in several boxes.
The box was opened, and it was full of gold bars and silver bricks.
"Master, where did you get so much money...?"
The room was instantly filled with a vulgar atmosphere, leaving Pan Ling dumbfounded.
"It's always been there."
Xu Shi chuckled and said, "Isn't this what I brought with me when I boarded the ship?"
That's true. Although Night City abolished physical currency a long time ago and replaced it with credit points as the means of transaction, Xu Shi had considered long ago that other places might not be in the same situation.
Perhaps Night City is an isolated case... So, just to be on the safe side, he had collected a large amount of gold and silver before setting sail—these precious metals were not as valuable as one might imagine in Night City, and were mostly used in industry.
And the result was just as he expected. The Hualan Empire's trading system was still based on the gold and silver standard. Since that was the case, when was a better time to use it?
This is only a small part; there are nearly a hundred more boxes on his command ship...
"And these are the rest, my benefactor, please keep them safe."
Xiaomei handed him several purple cards. "As you instructed, I've stored 50% of it in the magic crystal card. You can take it whenever you need it. I've also moved the rest over."
"Thanks a lot."
Xu Shi took the cards and distributed one to everyone, including the two sisters, Feng and Ling.
"This...isn't necessary?"
The two sisters didn't dare to take it, "We...we have our own pocket money now..."
They were mostly shocked. They knew their master (master's father) was not simple, but they never expected him to be so wealthy and powerful!
But if they are not suitable, it's already a good thing to have them as apprentices; the money shouldn't be taken.
"What are you saying? This is your money to begin with."
Xu Shi's tone left no room for refusal: "Didn't Brother Pan give me some tuition money? I had Xiao Mei deposit it into the card, and you two can each have half."
Hearing him say that, the two of them carefully accepted it.
No wonder he didn't want the money his father gave him back then. Although it certainly wasn't all of Pan Cheng's savings, it was still far less than what they had in their pockets...
Suddenly becoming wealthy, the two sisters felt a sense of unreality, their heads spinning for a moment, unsure of how to spend their money.
"How you spend the money is your business; I have no interest in interfering."
Xu Shi laughed and said, "Eating, drinking, gambling, and loving are all fine, but of course, don't come crying to me about being poor if you really suffer a setback."
"...Thank you, Master (Master's Father)!"
Pan Feng and Pan Ling nodded vigorously; needless to say, they didn't want to get involved in these bad habits.
"My two junior sisters are rich now, shouldn't you treat me to something delicious?"
Xia Ke'an jumped down from Xu Shi's arms, "Whether you agree or not, you have to invite them! I just saw so many..."
"Oh, okay."
Pan Feng did not refuse; she liked this junior sister very much, finding her adorable.
"Master, shall we go now?"
Pan Ling also realized that their master was deliberately trying to get them away...
"Go ahead, go ahead, and have a good celebration for yourselves too."
Xu Shi smiled and waved, then looked at Shen Qin after they had left happily, "You go too, and take care of their safety."
"……yes."
Shen Qin didn't want to do such a thing, but compared to that, she wouldn't refuse to be away from this bastard.
"Oh? What were you planning to do by sending them away?"
Xia Wuyou noticed it too and came over with great interest to ask.
"Instead of asking what I want, you should ask what you want?"
Xu Shijian swiped out his groping hand and shamelessly said...
"...You know that, why do you still ask?"
Xia Xiaomao blushed and asked, "Then what do you think she wants to do?"
The truth is that they were also affected by Xu Shi's abilities. Of course, they weren't afraid; they were instead aroused by a different kind of "negative emotion."
*want.
This scene seemed familiar, because coincidentally, she was also present when Xu Shi tested his abilities last time, and she had ended up kissing him in a daze back then...
To be honest, her current situation is even more serious than last time. She has been teaching her disciples these days, so how could she have time to be with Xu Shi? Not to mention that the bad man on the ship was only interested in Chen Qin... It's no exaggeration to say that she is about to suffocate.
"Am I not included?"
