After the van left the city, it drove for a long distance. When passing a small town, Li Mu asked the driver to drop the three of them off the car.
As soon as he got off the car, Bai Tao said to Li Mu impatiently: "Old Li, let's go get the money first!"
Li Mu said angrily: "You want to charge me 800,000 yuan just for this, don't you feel guilty?"
Bai Tao got anxious when he heard that. He said, "Li Mu, we agreed before that I would take you out of the city and you would give me 800,000. It's a clear price tag, so why do you care what I do? Just tell me whether you got out of the city safely or not?"
"Yes, it's safe, but the car was arranged by Lao Cao, and I paid for the ticket myself."
"Li Mu, what you said, does that mean my consulting service is worthless? If I hadn't given you advice, how would you have known to take our Beggars' Union's bus out of the city? Besides, as for the bus fare, wasn't it because I was afraid that Lao Cao would get suspicious that I asked you to pay first? If you feel you've lost money, you can deduct it from my consulting fee!"
"Forget it, let's put it this way. I can give you the 800,000, but not now. If you can work for me for a full year, I will give you the 800,000 then!" Li Mu said.
"What? Li Mu, we agreed on it in advance, 300,000 a month, and now you actually want to take the 800,000 that originally belonged to me as a year's salary! You are immoral!" Bai Tao was furious.
"Salary is salary, 800,000 is 800,000. I won't give you a penny, and I will pay you the salary every month. How about that?" Li Mu said with a smile.
Of course, he was not stingy with the 800,000 yuan. He was just making trouble on purpose. He had figured out that Bai Tao didn't really want to follow him. If he gave him 800,000 yuan all at once and let him make a small fortune, he might run away one day.
Only by using this 800,000 yuan to keep Bai Tao hanging will Bai Tao have some concerns, and only then can Bai Tao be stabilized.
After hearing what Li Mu said, Bai Tao had to compromise. There was no other way. The money was in Li Mu's hands, and the deal between him and Li Mu was not something that could be put on the table. If Li Mu didn't give it to him, there was really nothing he could do. Besides, didn't you see that Li Mu had an assistant beside him? This was a fourth-class resident assistant. Wouldn't it be like playing to deal with him?
Ning Xin was full of questions at this time. Li Mu obviously had top talent and a bright future ahead of him. He only needed to wait for someone from Wuling City to pick him up. Why did he leave Jianyang City secretly? Could it be that as Li Mu and Bai Tao boasted in Jianyang City, the royal family was afraid of Li Mu's talent and suppressed him?
Next, the three of them found an inn to stay in. Li Mu also wanted to test the energy he absorbed into his body and make plans for the next step.
Li Mu is already qualified to practice martial arts. No matter where he is, strength is always the basis for survival.
It was not something that ordinary people could endure when entering this world in the first place. Now, even if Li Mu found a way to get out, it would still be impossible due to his lack of personal strength. Therefore, the first thing he had to do was to find a way to practice martial arts and bring it to the peak.
The pinnacle of this world, at least from his current understanding, is Wuling City, the imperial capital of the Feiyun Empire, so he has to make this trip no matter what.
"Old Bai, how much do you know about Wuling City?" Li Mu asked Bai Tao.
"Wuling City in this world is like the Haotian Realm of the Qiongzu Universe. It is the center of this world and the gathering place of all the top powerhouses. Even in our Begging Guild, only those veteran powerhouses are qualified to beg in Wuling City. Lao Li, why are you asking these questions?" Bai Tao was suspicious.
"Haha, we will go to Wuling City tomorrow, you make the arrangements." Li Mu said with a faint smile.
"Wuling City is at least 500,000 kilometers away from here. Old Li, you want me to arrange it just by talking? You have to want to give me the money, right?" Bai Tao rolled his eyes. He would not pay for it himself.
"Don't worry, just make the arrangements and give me the bill. This is part of your job."
"Okay, but this time I have to be clear in advance. Don't talk to me about delayed payment. You have to pay when the time comes." Bai Tao said firmly.
"Boss, do I have to go with you?" Ning Xin asked in a low voice.
"Of course. You are my helper. Do you think 300,000 is so easy to get?"
"That's not what I meant, Boss. I'm so happy to be able to go to Wuling City, but Wuling City is about 500,000 kilometers away from here, and the travel expenses for one person alone will be hundreds of thousands."
Li Mu waved his hands after hearing this: "Things that can be solved with money are all trivial. I've already paid you 300,000 a month, and you're still short of travel expenses, right?"
After hearing what Li Mu said, Ning Xin shut her mouth.
Next, the three of them hurriedly ate dinner and went to rest.
…………
Half a month later, Li Mu and his companions appeared in a super city. There were tall buildings everywhere, which was completely different from the style of Jianyang City. Various technological facilities could be seen everywhere, making it look like a science fiction city.
This is the imperial capital of the Feiyun Empire, Wuling City!
Li Mu did not bring Kunpeng and the others on this trip to Wuling City. After all, they would not be of much help. Although Bai Tao was not in good health, he had been in this world for so many years and was considered a super veteran. Ning Xin was a fourth-class citizen. When it was difficult for him and Bai Tao to handle some things, it would be much more convenient to let Ning Xin do it. As for Kunpeng and the others, not only were they weak in health but they also had no experience, so it would be a burden to bring them along.
"Old Li, we have arrived at Wuling City. What are your plans for coming here? Let me make it clear first, this is the capital of the Feiyun Empire, where many masters gather. The various big guys are not comparable to those in Jianyang City. If you cause trouble here, I will not care about you. At that time, the employment relationship between us will be immediately invalidated. Don't accuse me of being unethical." Bai Tao reminded.
In response, he ignored Bai Tao and directly stopped a taxi and got in, saying to the driver: "Let's go to the begging union headquarters."
The driver looked at Li Mu and the others in surprise when he heard what they said. After seeing Bai Tao's outfit, he felt relieved. He started the car and flew into the sky, flying forward rapidly.
"Old Li, are you still not giving up? You want to go find our president, but I advise you to give up this idea. Who is the president? How could he possibly see you?" Bai Tao said helplessly. He had been asking Li Mu why he came to Wuling City, but Li Mu never answered him. Now when he heard that Li Mu was going to beg at the union headquarters, he realized that Li Mu was still determined to get the method to leave this world from the president.
Not to mention whether the president would meet Li Mu, even if the president met him, what could he tell him? The president knew the way out, but he still waited until now? He didn't know how to get out? Who would be willing to stay in this shabby place if they could get out?
