Chapter 23: Distributing Fliers in Another World
“Scam?” Jiang Taixuan couldn’t help but laugh. “Even though I, Jiang Taixuan, may not have great talent, I would never stoop so low. There must be some misunderstanding.”
“What misunderstanding could there be? You took advantage of my little brother never having been to the Monster Beast Mountains. You deliberately led him around just outside the mountains and then charged a hundred Yuan Coins.”
The woman sneered coldly. “Such tricks have been out of style with the scammers in Clear Moon City for a long time. Your methods are far too crude!”
“Silence! How dare you insult the Field Master?” Li Guang’s eyes turned cold. A powerful aura surged from him. The air around them exploded, and immense pressure enveloped the woman.
Pfft!
Caught off guard, the woman spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Li Guang with shock and terror.
A Foundation Building expert! The person before her was definitely a Foundation Building expert!
“Li Guang.” Jiang Taixuan waved his hand, signaling Li Guang to retract his aura. Calmly, he said, “Young lady, you are certainly mistaken. It must be because you don’t understand this place. Why don’t you come with me for a look?”
The woman frowned, casting a wary glance at Li Guang. She wanted to leave, but after a moment’s thought, she nodded. “Fine. Before I came, many classmates knew I was coming. If anything happens to me or my brother, Clear Moon Academy will not let you off.”
Jiang Taixuan said nothing. Li Guang’s expression grew even colder. If he weren’t holding himself back, he would have erupted right then.
Leading the brother and sister into the Dojo, Jiang Taixuan introduced everything one by one, just like with Wang Mingming. The two were shocked into a daze, their worldviews shattered.
“By the way, Tang Yuelu obtained a Divine Martial Bloodline here. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her for confirmation,” Jiang Taixuan said lightly.
“That man just now… was he a Foundation Building expert?” the woman asked instead of responding.
“Foundation Building Peak, and might as well be invincible within the Foundation Building stage,” Jiang Taixuan declared with a hint of pride and confidence.
The woman drew a sharp breath. A Foundation Building Peak expert could essentially do as he pleased in Clear Moon City. Yet he was holed up in this shabby place!
Chen Chong had already known, but at that moment, he still hadn’t recovered from the shock of seeing those products. He was practically drooling.
“I heard that last time, Wang Mingming could take first place also because of you?” the woman suddenly said. After a pause, she added, “My name is Chen Luo.”
“It was because of himself. He had a thousand Yuan Coins.” Jiang Taixuan squinted his eyes with a smile. “As long as you have enough money, I can get you not just first place in an exam, but make you invincible in Clear Moon City.”
Chen Luo did not argue. Even if Li Guang at Foundation Building Peak wasn’t truly invincible, he could rank in the top three. “I want my brother to be first in tomorrow’s Hunting Competition, with the most kills.”
“That depends on whether your money is sufficient. After all, Li Guang has already been reserved,” Jiang Taixuan said with a laugh.
“Reserved?” Chen Luo was slightly taken aback. “No matter what, my brother must be first. I’ll give you whatever money you ask for.”
“Sis…” Chen Chong was touched.
Jiang Taixuan shook his head again. “Let’s talk about it tomorrow. My business is very busy. I can’t guarantee he’ll be first. After all, you can’t guarantee your wealth is limitless either.”
Chen Luo fell silent. She abruptly turned and strode away.
“Sis, where are you going?”
“To gather money for you!”
Watching the siblings leave, Jiang Taixuan revealed a slight smile. With this, he had at least three customers. He could probably manage three transactions tomorrow.
In the afternoon, Wu Song returned with Ximen the Fatty, having bought over a hundred pieces of paper.
After eating his fill, Jiang Taixuan closed the Dojo’s door and began to wield his brush energetically. On sheet after sheet, he drew maps, wrote detailed notes, marked the location of the Divine Devil Dojo, and detailed the matter of renting Innate Realm and Foundation Building hunters.
After finishing all hundred-plus sheets, he summoned Ximen the Fatty and Li Guang.
“Li Guang, this time you take Ximen the Fatty to Clear Moon City. Go to the Mercenary Guild, the various major families. Also, find a way to sneak into Clear Moon Academy and hand these papers to the disciples of those families and to the students,” Jiang Taixuan instructed.
“Brother Xuan, we just bought this paper. Isn’t it a waste to just throw it away?” Ximen the Fatty said, feeling rather pained.
“What do you know? This is called a Flyer. How could a local like you possibly understand?” Jiang Taixuan scoffed disdainfully and handed the papers to Li Guang.
“Guang will definitely complete the task,” Li Guang assured with a cupped fist salute. Grabbing Ximen the Fatty, he sped away.
That day, quite a few students and family disciples had Flyers shoved into their hands by Ximen the Fatty. Among them were several female Martial Artists. If not for Li Guang’s presence, he probably would have been beaten to a pulp by their protectors.
“Rent an Innate Realm or Foundation Building expert? That’s too fake. How could such a thing be possible?”
“And a live map of the Monster Beast Mountains’ outer areas? Right near the Hunting Competition? Nonsense! That’s Clear Moon Academy’s territory. Even the Mercenary Guild is forbidden from entering. How dare they claim to have a live map?”
The Martial Artists glanced at the Flyers in their hands, and a chorus of disdainful voices rose. Many tore the Flyers to shreds on the spot. They simply did not believe it.
“If we could rent a Foundation Building expert, first place in the Hunting Competition would be easily secured? But would an Innate Realm or Foundation Building expert stoop to this for money?” Others also harbored doubts.
“The Hunting Competition… The reward for first place is extremely generous. Perhaps it could catch the eye of a powerful patron and shoot you straight to the top!”
“Even if they lowered their dignity, the price for an Innate Realm or Foundation Building expert would be ridiculously high. No, regardless of whether it’s true or false, I need to gather money. What if it’s real?” These were the ones holding onto a sliver of hope. Regardless of truth, they could go check it out. If it was fake, these young masters from wealthy families wouldn’t mind trashing the other party’s shop. If it was real, there was hope for the Hunting Competition.
Some family disciples, clinging to that bit of hope, clutched their Flyers and rushed back to their families. Academy students also thought of various ways to gather money.
Inside the academy, Wang Mingming held a Flyer with a miserable look. “Cangtian! Why did you have to announce the Hunting Competition now, after I’ve already spent all my money?”
“Jiang Taixuan, you actually set your sights on the Hunting Competition. You’re breaking the rules,” Tang Yuelu murmured softly, looking at the Flyer.
Jiang Taixuan’s action greatly increased his name recognition, but it also meant he would face the anger of certain people. This move disrupted the Hunting Competition and infringed on some people’s interests.
Just like with the exams, the Hunting Competition was meant to select the strong and the talented. But Jiang Taixuan interfering like this completely broke the rules, making it impossible to determine who was truly strong or weak.
Chen Luo also received one of the Flyers. The brother and sister stared at each other, wide-eyed. “This guy actually dares to promote this openly? Isn’t he afraid someone will cause trouble for him?”
“With a Foundation Building Peak expert by his side, who in Clear Moon City should he fear?” Chen Chong shrugged. After a pause, he added, “Besides, renting Innate Realm or Foundation Building experts… who would believe it without seeing it with their own eyes?”
“No, the money we have isn’t enough. Now everyone knows. There will definitely be a lot of bidding. Come with me, let’s go home and ask our parents for money!” Chen Luo immediately pulled her brother and hurried towards the Chen Family.
“Fatty, is all this for real?” A young man holding a Flyer blocked the path of Ximen the Fatty and Li Guang.
Ximen the Fatty glanced at Li Guang and said arrogantly, “See? This is a Foundation Building expert. As long as you have money, you can rent him.”
The young man scanned Li Guang, unable to gauge his depth. Just as he was about to test him, a powerful aura surged forth. The terrifying pressure made him struggle to breathe.
Fortunately, the aura was released and retracted immediately. Otherwise, the young man likely would have been seriously injured.
The young man gave Li Guang a deep look. Instead of fear, joy showed on his face. “Good! I’ll go back and gather money. I’ll come find you tomorrow, Senior.”
Where there was one, there was a second. Soon, the fact that Li Guang was a Foundation Building expert reached quite a few ears.
The Flyers were distributed. Now it was just a matter of waiting for customers to arrive tomorrow. With the satisfaction of a completed mission, Li Guang led Ximen the Fatty back to the Divine Devil Dojo.
