Mushroom Man

Since Wu Liang inherited the Silver Water of the Black Horn Tribe and acquired the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom from Bai Lai, he has not lacked Silver Water for a long time.

He originally had 70,000 to 80,000 silver coins, which would have been enough for him to use until the fourth level.

Unfortunately, although his trip to the Dragon Palace brought him a lot of mushrooms, it also cost him a large sum of silver.

And this is all the Golden Dragon King's fault, for insisting on creating a mirage.

Once the mirage appeared, during that period, whether it was stimulating the mushrooms or refining them, a large amount of silver water was required.

Even with Wu Liang's considerable wealth, he couldn't withstand such a drastic setback.

Moreover, he wasn't the only one consuming the silver.

His transactions with Xiao Chusheng, Yan Zhaodi's mushroom refining, and Gu Zhenren's qi extraction all cost him a fortune.

After going back and forth, Wu Liang now only has about 10,000 silver coins left.

This even includes the Tianyuan Lingzhi Mushroom, which replaced part of the silver water consumption.

Without the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom, Wu Liang's effect on the Silver Water would probably have been even more terrifying.

This amount of silver seems like a lot, but it's actually only enough to buy one level 4 mushroom.

For Wu Liang, this was a drop in the ocean.

Fortunately, Wu Liang obtained a large amount of resources from the Dragon Palace, which can be exchanged for a considerable amount of silver.

However, many of these resources are still very useful to him. For example, those resources of the universe cannot be sold at will. He can only sell resources that he does not need.

But this way...

Although they could reap a considerable amount of silver, it was still somewhat beyond their capabilities to collect all the mushrooms and mushroom materials that Wu Liang wanted to gather.

Therefore, Wu Liang needed to think of other ways to earn a large amount of silver to squander.

"Um……"

Wu Liang squinted, his gaze deep and unfathomable, as he scanned the numerous advertisements on the bulletin board.

He pondered for only a moment and came up with four ways to earn silver.

First and foremost, gambling on jade stones is naturally the most prominent activity.

If you come to Chaotic Star Island and don't gamble on some stones, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?
He has a lucky charm, so he might just be able to gamble on a good stone and make a fortune.

Secondly, gambling, fighting, and tournaments!
This approach avoids many luck factors and relies purely on hard skills to earn silver.

With his abilities, he should be able to earn enough silver coins this way.

In addition, it will allow him to hone his skills, quickly digest the resources obtained from the Dragon Palace, and become a true Yu Dao Mushroom Master.

However, choosing this path is quite risky; if you perform too well, you are likely to attract the attention of others.

Therefore, if he chooses to engage in gambling or fighting, he must be careful to maintain a proper balance.

Third, they borrowed money on a large scale!

Wu Liang has mastered the art of human appearances being unpredictable, so he could try to see if he could take advantage of the Star Palace.

At worst, they could borrow enough money, find a way to crack the channel, change their identity, and run away with the money.

Fourth, rob the rich to help the poor!
The wealth of the calamity star palace is used to alleviate one's own poverty.

He has an ever-changing face and an unpredictable mind; if one is careful and cautious, it is not impossible to steal the Star Palace's wealth without anyone noticing.

This move would be extremely profitable; if the plan goes smoothly, the gains might rival those of the Dragon Palace.

However, as one can imagine, the risks are also frighteningly high.

If they were accidentally discovered by the Star River Elder, or if they caused any disturbance and exposed themselves, it would easily lead to big trouble.

However, for Wu Liang, this risk seems worth trying...

As the saying goes, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.

Without risk, how can there be tremendous gains?
Wu Liang nodded slightly, his face showing hesitation, as if he was struggling with how to choose.

After a moment, he slowly exhaled, clearly having made up his mind.

"Ha, I was being a bit too hesitant and overthinking things." "Since every path can be profitable, why choose only one? Why not pursue both simultaneously?"

"Only children make choices; I want all four paths!"

Wu Liang sneered, a flash of arrogance disappearing in an instant.

For others, choosing a particular path might require a significant investment of effort.

But for him, pursuing four paths simultaneously was nothing special.

You can gamble on stones anytime; it doesn't take much time.

As for lending and robbing the rich to help the poor, needless to say, these two can be completely combined into one.

While robbing the rich to help the poor, they also conveniently lent money to others.

However, before taking out a loan, he still needs to carefully investigate whether he can break through the channel's means.

Otherwise, if he doesn't have the ability to break the communication channels and suffers an unexpected setback, he would become a laughing stock.

"Let's find a silver shop to browse around first..."

Thinking of this, Wu Liang turned his gaze to the notice board, to the newly opened silver water shop.

Of all the silver water shops on Chaotic Star Island, this one was the one that attracted his attention the most.

The reason is simple: the owner of this silver water shop is a Taoist mushroom master surnamed Yan.

"Yan Bixing, this name... I wonder if it's related to the Yan family?"

"It's one thing to have the surname Yan, but to be a Taoist mushroom master is just too much of a coincidence."

"However, I heard from Yan Zhaodi that their Yan family had migrated to the Western Regions, so there shouldn't be any family members left behind."

"Forget it, let's go and take a look, and we'll find out everything."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, without any hesitation.

On a whim, he followed the directions given on the notice board and headed toward Yan Bixing's silver shop.

Along the way, he stopped frequently and, with the help of the eavesdropping mushrooms, learned a great deal about Chaotic Star Island, gaining more detailed and comprehensive information.

On this chaotic star island, the only overlord is the Star Palace.

Beneath the Star Palace, there are actually two forces that should not be easily provoked.

One is the Chaotic Star Gambling House, and the other is the Precious Dragon Caravan.

The Chaotic Star Gambling House controls the economic lifeline of Chaotic Star Island. It owns businesses related to gambling and is backed by the Star Palace.

The Zhenlong Caravan monopolized all trade with the outside world from Luanxing Island.

Even the Star Palace Mushroom Masters dared not offend the Zhenlong Merchant Caravan.

Wu Liang kept this information in mind, and after walking for a short while, he passed by the Chaotic Star Gambling House.

Perhaps because he wasn't exactly flush with cash at the moment, he only glanced inside.

But that one glance made him frown.

"Weird..."

"Why does this Chaotic Star Gambling House look so familiar to me?"

Wu Liang was somewhat surprised and puzzled by this.

He looked at the various gambling stone stalls inside the Chaotic Star Gambling House and recalled them carefully.

Soon, his eyes flickered, as if he had remembered something.

"That's right, it's that all-knowing scholar!"

"When I used the Formless Decree to manipulate the deception and observe the successor of the Formless, I seemed to have seen this Chaotic Star Gambling House before!"

"If I remember correctly, doesn't that mean that another successor of the Formless lineage, Bai Xiaosheng, is very likely here as well?" (End of Chapter)
