The village chief patted Qin Qi on the shoulder, gave him a long and earnest lecture, and then left.
As the village chief, he had fulfilled his duties, and the rest was up to Qin Qi. He had done enough to take care of things.
"Thank you, village chief."
Qin Qi escorted the village chief to the entrance of Notting Academy, intending to continue escorting him, but the village chief stopped him.
"Don't bother seeing me off. If you go too far, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back on your own, and I'll have to bring you back."
The village chief spoke first.
"Hmm...that makes sense. I won't see you off then."
Qin Qi nodded. Nottingham City was quite large, and since it was his first time entering the city, he might actually get lost.
After seeing the village chief off, Qin Qi prepared to go to his dormitory. He was in Dormitory 7, where all the work-study students, regardless of age, were assigned.
Qin Qigang walked to the dormitory door, pushed it open, and then saw Chang Wei—no, it was Wang Sheng—beating someone.
"Another newbie has arrived. Are you planning to let me beat him up, or just acknowledge me as your boss?"
Wang Sheng stretched his limbs and walked towards Qin Qi with a sinister grin. He was broad and fat, and possessed a beast spirit.
With everyone currently lacking spirit rings, he has a significant advantage in fights.
"What did you say?"
Qin Qi pretended not to have heard clearly and leaned closer to Wang Sheng with his ear turned towards him.
"I said you're planning to just acknowledge me as... Ah!!!"
Wang Sheng, seeing Qin Qi's honest demeanor, was completely unprepared and genuinely believed that Qin Qi hadn't heard clearly.
He walked towards Qin Qi, wanting to get closer to talk, but as soon as he got close, Qin Qi immediately delivered a groin kick.
"Oh, I heard you right this time, but I'm not going to choose the answer you gave me."
"I'm going to beat you up and then rob you of your money."
Qin Qi still wore an honest smile on his face, even though he had never learned Qi cultivation before.
But after all, he grew up in the Tang Clan and had learned some fighting techniques.
It's no good against experts, but beating up a little kid is a piece of cake.
"I...I refuse to accept this!"
Wang Sheng knelt on the ground, covering his genitals with both hands, clenching his teeth, his eyes bulging out of their sockets.
"What do I care if you're not happy? Pay up, or I'll beat you up again."
Qin Qi had already held back; otherwise, if he had really used force, Wang Sheng wouldn't have had a chance to speak.
"without……"
Qin Qi raised his foot, ready to strike Wang Sheng again.
"Yes, it's over by my bed!"
Wang Sheng immediately chickened out. He was almost fainting from the pain, and he definitely couldn't take another hit.
"You're smart enough to pay me protection money, everyone else. Otherwise, I'll give each of you a beating."
Qin Qi glared fiercely at the remaining people in the room and spoke.
"You, you can't do this! This is against the rules!"
Someone spoke up.
"I can't even afford to eat, what are you talking to me about rules? Eating is the most important thing in the world!"
"If you don't give me the money, I'll beat you up until you give me the money!"
Qin Qi couldn't worry about that now; he not only needed to cultivate, but he also needed to eat.
There's no one to freeload at the college anymore; the college cafeteria charges a fee, though it's not much, but he doesn't have the money.
Unlike Tang San, who had a cheap father, Qin Qi was a complete orphan in this world, and he survived to this day thanks to the simple and honest folk customs of the village.
He's truly destitute and lacks ambition now.
The students exchanged glances, then looked at Wang Sheng lying on the ground, and they chickened out.
She took out the little money she had saved from working at the college and handed it all over to Qin Qi.
"Is there any left?"
Qin Qi took the money and put it in his pocket, then looked at the people and asked.
"That's all, I've given it all to you."
Everyone spoke in unison.
"Give me all of them, let me search them."
Qin Qi searched the room but couldn't find it. He looked at the students.
"These are for you to eat, the rest are mine."
Qin Qi took out some of the stolen money and left it for them to eat. He said that robbing was acceptable, but he couldn't let people starve to death.
Qin Qi left the money on the table and left, which was a bit like burying his head in the sand, but it was better than nothing.
"Boss Wang Sheng, are you alright?!"
After Qin Qi left, everyone rushed forward to help Wang Sheng up and asked him with concern.
"No, it's nothing, let me catch my breath!"
Wang Sheng sat on the bed for a long time before he recovered. His first words after recovering were:
"We have to get him! Nobody sleeps tonight. When he gets back, we'll cover him with a blanket and give him a good beating!"
"Boss Wang Sheng, let's not go for it. I think this guy..."
The man felt that Qin Qi was quite troublesome and didn't want to provoke him, but Wang Sheng glared at him at that moment.
"I'll do whatever you say, you're the boss."
The man immediately changed his tune.
............................................................
At this moment, Qin Qi left the school gate, wandered around outside, and finally found a pharmacy.
"Oh, this amount of money is really too little. If I hadn't picked some medicinal herbs myself, this amount of money wouldn't be enough at all."
"Fortunately, the Tang Clan has both rich and poor methods of poison making."
Qin Qi sighed, feeling for the first time grateful that the Tang Clan had been extremely poor in its early years.
If it weren't for the fact that the Tang Clan was poor, they wouldn't have researched how to make poison with the least amount of money.
"Alas, money isn't everything, but you can't do anything without it."
Qin Qi sighed, took the last few medicinal herbs back to the academy, found a quiet spot, and then entered the study space.
"Second Grandfather, I've found the medicine. Let's start making the poison!"
Qin Qi was somewhat excited when he said this; he was finally about to begin formally learning the techniques!
After learning about Qi Poison, he now has a little bit of self-defense power in the Douluo World!
Chapter 5 As everyone knows, the Golden Light Mantra of Longhu Mountain is extremely fragile!
In the systematic learning space.
Tang Jiaren carefully examined all the medicinal herbs that Qin Qi had collected and purchased.
"It's alright. The quality of the medicinal herbs is so-so, but it's fine for beginners."
Tang Jiaren nodded. People in the Tang Clan are skilled in concocting poisons and are also proficient in pharmacology.
At 73 years old, Tang Jiaren can tell the quality of medicinal herbs with just a glance.
"Second Grandfather, let's begin."
Qin Qi was eager to try it out. He was finally going to learn the first technique, and he couldn't contain his excitement.
"Don't rush, these medicinal herbs still need to be processed, and there are no suitable tools in this space."
"You need to find a stone mortar and pestle for grinding medicinal herbs, and a soup pot for boiling medicine."
Seeing Qin Qi's excited expression, Tang Jiaren smiled and spoke slowly.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Qin Qi hurriedly exited the learning space, which could be accessed at any time after it was opened.
The second time you enter, it will not consume a new number of attempts, but will consume any unused time from the previous attempt.
Qin Qi returned to the real world. He had no money to buy anything, but that didn't matter; there were ways to live even when you were poor.
He found two suitable stones, one concave and one convex, and cleaned them. This became a mortar.
I just grabbed whatever container I could hold water, and then gathered some firewood—that was my cooking pot.
After putting the items into the learning space, Qin Qi also entered the learning space.
....................................
"Second Grandfather, the items aren't very good, but I really can't find anything better right now, so let's just make do with them."
Qin Qi spoke up.
"Okay, I'll teach you from the side, you grind the medicine."
Tang Jiaren was still all smiles. He had seen it all in those days of scarcity.
He even ate tree bark during the disaster years ago, so Qin Qi's current problems are nothing.
"Should I do it? Am I capable?"
Qin Qi stared at the medicinal herbs for a moment, thinking that his second grandfather would take care of them for him.
"Okay, I think you're capable. Alright, enough talk, let's get started."
