Chapter 5 New Paths to Wealth



The group wanted to give chase, but after only a few steps, they could no longer see the person.

"Brother Li" slammed his fist into a tree, his eyes blazing as he glared at Tang Jianyuan. "Is this the kind of sure-fire, risk-free business you were talking about?"

Tang Jianyuan looked in the direction where Yun Jian disappeared, scratching his head and muttering to himself, "Goodness, how could she be so fast?"

"I'm asking you a question, you surnamed Tang!"

Li Ge was furious and grabbed Tang Jianyuan by the collar. "She took my flint too, what do you say to that?"

Tang Jianyuan's eyes widened in surprise: "A flint? That thing costs ten points!"

Even though it wasn't his, Tang Jianyuan was heartbroken. Before he could think of a reply, Lao Gao came over and slapped him across the face.

"And my animal traps, if you hadn't said that woman was easy to deal with, would we have suffered so many losses?"

Tang Jianyuan covered his face, feeling angry but not daring to vent it. He could only mutter gloomily: "Now you're blaming me? I didn't know who it was back then. I heard it was a woman, and she ran away faster than anyone else!"

"You're still not convinced?" Old Gao punched Tang Jianyuan a few more times, then threw him on the ground like trash before going to discuss it with Brother Li.

Tang Jianyuan didn't know what they were saying, but he knew that the way they looked at him had changed and was now full of malice.

On the other side, Yun Jian inspected the spoils she had just acquired and then put them into her system inventory, feeling quite pleased with herself.

She roughly estimated that she should have earned more than ten points from this.

Robbery is definitely the fastest way to make money!

Seeing her calculating look in the comments made me tremble a little.

Is this woman addicted to robbing?

[I have a feeling she's found the path to wealth.]

[But really, nobody was amazed by her speed? I think I know why she didn't invest in Strength and Agility; Strength is worthless in the face of absolute speed!]

As they were talking, Yun Jian had already returned to the stream.

[Here it comes, the crocodile hunt is about to begin.]

Just as everyone was wondering how Yun Jian would hunt the crocodile, they saw Yun Jian roll up his sleeves and pick up cattails by the stream!

Moreover, she plucked a whole bunch of cattails, cut off the cattail stalks, threw them all into her system inventory, and then cut off the cattail roots and washed them clean in the stream.

Afterwards, Yunjian wandered around the stream, found a large rock with a depression in the middle, threw the cattail root into the depression, and smashed it all.

Perhaps it was because Yun Jianlu's previous move was so amazing that people were always observing her, both openly and secretly.

Seeing her do this now, I was reminded of the juice she had taken out when she poisoned the fish...

Got it!

So while Yun was still dealing with the cattail roots, he saw several other people go over and pull up the cattails.

Yun Jian was a little confused. Could it be that she wasn't the only one who had been unlucky enough to trigger the hard mode?

The comments section was filled with speculation about Yun Jian's intentions.

[Last one was used to poison fish, is this one going to be used to poison crocodiles?]

I've learned my lesson; I just looked it up. Cattails can be used in medicine, but they don't poison plants or animals, so cattails won't kill crocodiles.

Why was she picking cattails? I always felt her purpose in picking them wasn't simple.

Yun Jian added some water to the smashed cattail roots and began to wander around the shore.

A hand suddenly blocked her way. Yun Jian's eyes narrowed slightly, and she instantly became alert. She looked up and saw a lean man.

The man was slightly hunched over, his lips were pale, but his cheeks were flushed an unnatural red, and his eyes were filled with tears. It was clear at a glance that something was wrong with him.

Seeing her tense expression, the man smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just wanted to remind you not to go any further. There are crocodiles in those waters, it's very dangerous!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Jian's lips curled into a smile.

Isn't that a coincidence?

Before he could speak, a slightly familiar voice rang out again, "Xiao Song wasn't lying to you. Just recently, my brother and I saw that crocodile bite a wolf and drag it into the water!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the person who spoke parted the bushes and appeared. Yun Jian curled the corners of her mouth. Sure enough, it was the big guy who had helped her push Tang Jianyuan aside earlier.

"Oh, little girl, it's you again!"

The burly man's face lit up with joy, but then turned serious. "Little girl, why are you back again? You've caught so many fish, you've become a fat sheep in some people's eyes. You'd better run!"

Yun Jian didn't respond to that question, but instead looked at the lean man. "What's wrong with him?"

The big man paused, then sighed, "My name is Liang Shan, and this is my younger brother, Liang Song. We arrived here yesterday, but it started raining as soon as we got here. We didn't have time to set up camp, so we got soaked. That's how it is today."

Liang Song coughed softly twice and gave Liang Shan a reproachful look, "Why say such things? It's not honorable."

Then, he looked at Yun Jian and said, "Young lady, you'd better get away from here. People here have no bottom line when it comes to survival; they'll do anything."

Yun Jian nodded and said, "Thank you."

She returned to the spot where she had previously smashed the cattail roots, scooped out the water with her hands, revealing the white substance underneath.

As the camera zoomed in, viewers gasped in surprise when they saw what the white things were.

I was completely shocked. If this stuff underneath is dried further, won't it turn into flour?

[This is amazing! Is she planning to make her own dumpling wrappers? 12 points earned!]

[This woman is really something! She has points but doesn't use them, she doesn't buy materials, she makes them herself, she doesn't buy tools, she just steals them from others! She's a modern-day Scrooge!]

Lin Yongqi was drinking juice when she saw this scene and her eyes widened in surprise.

She felt like she had... unearthed some treasure.

Although the task of hunting crocodiles seemed absurd, she had a feeling that Yun Jian could do it.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yongqi opened the chat box in the lower right corner.

Immediately, two small speaker lights appeared on the screen:

[It's Yongqi, not the Fifth Prince, who bet 5000 Whale Coins, believing player Yunjian cannot complete the side quest!]

[It's Yongqi, not the Fifth Prince, who bets on Whale Coins, believing that player Yunjian cannot complete the main quest!]

She won the bet, so she just considered it as a mistake in judging the person, and she didn't lose anything.

If you lose the bet, consider it as giving Yunjian some points.

Other users, upon seeing the two small loudspeakers, couldn't help but marvel at how wealthy and powerful this person was.

One RMB can only be exchanged for one Whale Coin, and this is a whopping 15,000! Does this big shot need any leg ornaments?

Lin Yongqi ignored the comments and just stared intently at Yun Jian on the screen.

While waiting for the flour to dry, Yunjian chose a stone to sharpen his knife.

After sharpening the knife, she found a flexible branch and used vines to connect the two ends, making a simple bow.
