From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 75 Take action
The resources monopolized by the three factions of Yanyang came partly from trade with other cities, and partly from planting in the outer cities.

Outside the 108 outer cities, in the vast barren mountains, various rare and precious medicinal herbs are planted.

I heard that before the demons attacked the city, many medicinal fields were destroyed and eaten by the two-striped demons.

The two-line demons all have the opportunity to come into contact with the medicine field, which means that the defense force of the medicine field in the outer city is not strong, and I still have a chance to take action.

These medicinal fields are controlled by the three factions of Yanyang.

Even if Jiang Chen didn't attack the Dragon and Tiger Sect's medicinal fields, the Liuguang Sect's medicinal fields alone would be enough for him to make a lot of money and quickly improve his own strength...

He has a great skill called "Tiger Leap", which is not convenient to use when stealing outside as it is easy to expose his identity.

However, if the burst effect of "Tiger Leap" is adjusted to be weakened and the traces of the technique are concealed, it can also increase one's own speed, far exceeding that of warriors of the Iron Bone level.

"Tsk..."

Jiang Chen thought about it and felt that there seemed to be a chance.

"It seems that I have to use my old skills as a beggar..."

Then he opened the panel and looked at the [Theft] line.

After more than half a year of corpse-seeking, Jiang Chen also mastered the skill of "Theft" to the first level.

【Theft: Level 86 (1000/)】

He is familiar with several techniques of "concealing breath" and "hiding the body".

However, if you want to steal in the outer city's medicinal fields without being discovered, it is better to raise [Theft] to the maximum level.

But this brings up new problems.

Where should I go to gain experience points for [Theft]...

Stealing people’s things in Shuiqingfang at night?
Jiang Chen thought about it in his mind and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Don’t let rumors spread in Shuiqingfang about a “mysterious warrior stealing clothes from a sixty-year-old woman.”

"Um……"

Jiang Chen was thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.

At this time.

"Dong dong dong..."

A crisp knock on the door sounded.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chen took a few steps forward and opened the gate.

"you are?"

Standing outside the door was a pretty little girl in plain clothes, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with her hands clenched tightly in front of her, looking a little nervous.

"Sir, my name is Chu Dong. Do you still remember me? You saved me before..."

Jiang Chen thought about it for a while and suddenly remembered.

On the night when demons attacked the city, he seemed to have saved a little girl from the demon's mouth.

It seemed that he had come to thank me before with a small basket of eggs.

However, there were so many people who came to thank him at that time that he could not remember clearly.

"What's the matter with you?"

Chu Dong lowered his head and said carefully: "I want to ask, sir, are you still short of a maid? I can do the laundry and cooking."

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment.

He remembered that night, it seemed that the little girl was the only one with her mother at home, but before he arrived, her mother had been eaten by a demon.

"You have no place to live?"

"...Yes, I couldn't pay the rent, so I was kicked out. The pawnbroker wanted to sell me to a wealthy family as a concubine, but I didn't want to go..."

"So that's what's going on..."

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment.

With his current status and position, it would not be a big deal to find a job for this girl that would provide her with food and clothing. He just needed to tell Kong Ye and it would be done.

Jiang Chen was about to speak when his eyes noticed a worn-out sachet hanging around the girl's waist.

He was stunned for a moment, and his eyes gradually brightened.

If you want to gain experience for [Theft], there's no need to actually steal things...

Chu Dong seemed to be aware of Jiang Chen's gaze. He struggled for a moment on his childish face, but finally spoke carefully: "This is the sachet my mother sewed for me. If you want it, I..."

"No, no, no."

Jiang Chen waved his hand, an idea already popped up in his mind.

"You want to be a maid, right? Okay, come in first."

Having said that, he brought Chu Dong into the yard.

Then Jiang Chen took out a purse, stuffed a tael of silver into it, and weighed it in his hand.

"I will give you one tael of silver a month, but there is one requirement. You must wear this purse around your waist and cannot take it off except when you rest. Is that okay?" "Ah?"

Chu Dong was stunned when he heard Jiang Chen's request.

"Sir, one ounce of silver is too much. I just want to have a meal..."

"Just take it if you're told to."

Jiang Chen directly stuffed the purse into Chu Dong's hand and said, "Remember, you are not allowed to take it off except to rest."

Chu Dong nodded blankly: "Yes."

Then he put the purse on his waist.

Jiang Chen was satisfied: "You will do some laundry and cooking work in the future. You can live in the west wing, but you are not allowed to enter my bedroom. Do you understand?"

Chu Dong bowed his head respectfully: "Yes."

But at this time.

It was as if a breeze was blowing past her side.

"what?"

Chu Dong looked up blankly, only to find that the purse that was just around his waist had returned to Jiang Chen's hands.

[Theft Experience +1]

Sure enough it can.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile, and then stuffed the purse back into Chu Dong's hand.

Chu Dong thought that Jiang Chen regretted giving him so much money the moment before, but the next moment he saw the purse returned to his hand.

"what?"

She looked confused and had no idea why Jiang Chen did this.

Jiang Chen didn't explain, but waved his hand: "Okay, go pack your things and stay in the west wing."

Chu Dong was full of doubts and replied softly: "...Yes."

……

Chu Dong then stayed in the courtyard.

Jiang Chen observed for a few days and was relieved after confirming that the girl was very well-behaved and had no other thoughts.

After coming to this world, he has been doing his own laundry and cooking. Because of his low cultivation level and lack of money, he was reluctant to spend money to hire a maid.

Although I am still short of money now, I can still afford this little bit of money, and it also frees up time to deal with this part of life.

……

A few days later.

Chu Dong gradually adapted to life in this courtyard. The room she lived in was very large. She had never lived in such a big place before.

There was also a lot of food. Lord Jiang never saved on food. He would let her buy vegetables and meat at the market and come back to cook. She could also get some meat.

She had eaten more meat in the past few days than she had in the past decade.

Chu Dong was very glad that when he was kicked out a few days ago, he still mustered up the courage to knock on the adult's door.

Otherwise, she would either end up on the streets or be unable to bear the hunger and have to sell her body...

Chu Dong was naturally very grateful to Lord Jiang.

However, the only thing that made her feel a little strange was that this young warrior seemed to have some special hobbies.

In addition to practicing, the thing that Master Jiang does most every day is,

While Chu Dong was not paying attention, he took the purse from her and then returned it to her.

In a day, this purse can be taken away dozens of times...

Later on, Lord Jiang seemed unsatisfied and hung some more jewelry on her. He would take away the purse from time to time and then return it.

Chu Dong could only regard this as Lord Jiang's quirk and buried it in his heart. In the end, he even gradually got used to it...

……

In the bedroom.

Jiang Chen glanced at his panel.

These days, in addition to his daily practice of "Blood Moving and Breathing Method" and "Sleeping Dragon Power", he also gained experience in "Stealing" through Chu Dong.

Now, I have finally mastered [Theft] to the maximum level.

【Theft: Level 3 (Extreme)】

At this moment, Jiang Chen was like a thief who had honed his stealing skills for a lifetime. He could use all the stealing skills such as concealing his breath, lurking, and having a clever move.

Finally done, it's about time to get started.

Jiang Chen looked up at the sky outside the window.

This damn Liuguang sect has targeted me so many times, it's only reasonable for me to steal some of his medicinal herbs...
