In fact.
Smart people in this world are always a minority.
Especially in this Three Sides Slope.
Those who can rise to the top, need ability, cunning, and means, all of them are indispensable.
Even the brutish Dazigo, has some cunning in his heart.
For example, when he collects debts, he collects debts, but he will never beat someone to death.
After all, if the person is dead, who will pay the money?
And the people Chen Tai has met.
Whether it's the Fourth Master.
Or Uncle Cai.
Even the dead Wu Hai Shan.
The supervisor, Gan Ting.
They all have some cunning in their hearts to a greater or lesser extent.
But besides them.
Looking at the entire Three Sides Slope area.
There are indeed few people who have cunning in their hearts.
Even the current Wumeng who clings to Chen Tai and acts cute.
It was only after she practiced the spell that she slowly became enlightened.
At night.
Chen Tai had already returned to Xiaomo Nong.
As the saying goes, work and rest should be combined.
That Soul Refining Banner, or Soul Refining Cloth, although successfully refined, is not yet fully complete. After all, the Hai Shan Mine is only a part of the Mo Mine Mountain, and it is even considered a relatively ‘young’ mine in Mo Mine Mountain.
Chen Tai set up a formation and left the Soul Refining Cloth in place, to continuously attract the wandering souls on the entire mountain.
He stayed at Mo Mine Mountain for a few days, and his cultivation has fallen behind.
Now is the time to make up for it.
“Master~” Wumeng’s Longguo language skills have improved rapidly.
Even with only two words, but her voice goes down and then up, soft and melodious, combined with her actions, the meaning of being coquettish is even stronger.
Chen Tai looked up.
Wumeng, a mixed-blood native from this area.
Among these women, she was the one who changed roles the fastest and most thoroughly.
Whether it was raising poisonous creatures, or pulling radishes, she learned everything extremely quickly.
Her originally darker skin, also because of practicing the "Five Poison Sect" techniques, using the essence of the five poisons to cultivate.
She has become increasingly fair-skinned.
Her height is also developing, shooting up a bit.
She has gained a lot of weight, and she looks increasingly plump.
“Master~”
Wumeng's hands rested on Chen Tai's shoulders.
Her lips and tongue rubbed against Chen Tai's ears, making him feel numb.
“Let my brother also come work for Dazigo, okay~”
There is an idiom called "being greedy after one has gained."
This woman, although she has cultivated some true qi, Chen Tai did not teach her any fighting skills.
He only gave her a few puppet talismans, allowing her to control a few strong men.
But she seized every opportunity, while Chen Tai was away, she took people back to Daban and snatched her brother from her parents.
“My brother is still young, he hasn't been exposed to those things.”
However, Chen Tai has seen her brother.
And not just once.
Although he hasn’t been addicted to drugs.
But all sorts of bad habits developed from being neglected.
Ganging up.
Oppressing the good.
Stealing and petty thievery.
He has it all.
Just like when Chen Tai first met Shen Xing.
The group of teenagers surrounding him were the same.
Highly representative of the local people’s unique “simplicity.”
However.
It’s not impossible to change.
Although Chen Tai didn’t hear about the Three Sides Slope in his previous life.
But he still understands some geography.
This place is located in the no-man’s land between Chan Kingdom, Siam, and Laos.
If it had a different name, he would have heard of it.
The Golden Triangle.
Although Chen Tai doesn’t know why the Golden Triangle became the Three Sides Slope.
But in his first life, he was from 2024.
He knows all about how the Golden Triangle region was reformed.
“Substitution planting,” right?
Led by the “ancestor” Longguo in the north.
The four sides joined forces to deal a devastating blow to the flour merchants hiding in the local mountains.
Then, they promoted corn, sugarcane, tea, rubber, rice, mango, lychee, coffee, lemon, banana, macadamia nuts, and other substitute planting crops.
Of course, the current time period is still several years away from that thunderous strike.
Chen Tai can’t wait that long.
Even if it's to continue to improve his strength.
He also desperately needs a stable base.
To provide him with a constant supply of five poison plants and animals.
Stable supply.
That is, large-scale artificial breeding.
Not like now.
With Sister Ma’s Fourth Master and Daban’s Uncle Cai.
They each spend money to get some natives, risking being blown up by landmines, to catch them in the mountains.
Chen Tai needs his own strength.
His own territory.
His own people.
But to achieve all this.
The big and small forces in the Three Sides Slope.
Whether it’s the flour merchants hiding in the mountains.
The militia groups of Ban Long and Sang Kang, who are stationed nearby and fight each other all day.
Or Uncle Cai, who runs the water business.
Or Luan Bason, who runs the gambling business.
The Xiang Long Merchant Guild, which is ostensibly a legitimate business, but secretly engages in smuggling and cross-border brides.
And Ai Suo, who is nominally the security officer of Ma Niu Town, but actually backed by Ban Long, controlling a region.
As well as the Fourth Master, who engages in border trade.
They are all objects that Chen Tai needs to eliminate or clean up.
Either submit.
Or die!
Chen Tai pulled Wumeng's hand.
The woman immediately prostrated herself at Chen Tai's feet.
She hugged his leg and kept acting cute.
Her black hair, her lips moving slightly, she looked up at Chen Tai with a pitiful expression.
“Master~, my brother, he has nowhere to go.”
Chen Tai patted her hair.
“Let him go to Longguo to study first.”
“Study agricultural planting.”
“I’m going to find a place to open a plantation, and let him come back to manage it.”
Wumeng’s face was full of surprise.
“Really?”
This is far beyond her expectations.
You know, in her understanding.
To have her brother grow up and go his own way, leaving Dazigo behind, would already be a great fortune.
How could she have imagined going to school and coming back to manage a plantation?
In her impression, these are things that only those well-dressed and powerful people are qualified to do.
“Master~”
Wumeng’s eyes were filled with charm.
She didn’t even care about Su Su’s disgusted and nauseous look.
To convince Chen Tai to take in her brother.
She was eloquent.
…
While Chen Tai was immersed in the embrace of a soft life.
Mao Pan, who received orders from Chairman Chen to take over the Mo Mine Mountain.
Experienced an encounter that he will never forget in his lifetime.
“Don’t! Don’t come closer!”
“What are you, anyway?!”
“Get out of my way!”
“Mom! Mom! Save me! I want to go home!”
Just a quarter of an hour ago.
Mao Pan, with a few thugs, arrogantly stormed into the Hai Shan Mine.
“Ghosts?”
“Do you think I’m scared of this?”
“Stop messing around, will you go down or not?”
But to his surprise.
Even with threats and coercion, those miners just stared at him woodenly.
As if they were looking at a dead man.
There was no other way.
Mao Pan had to lead by example.
He took his men down the mine, to see what this so-called "ghost" was all about.
He didn’t believe in this stuff.
If there were really ghosts in the world.
With the things he has done, would he still be alive today?
And still be so active and comfortable?
“What’s there to be afraid of?”
“I’m more ferocious than a ghost!”
But was that really the case?
Only a quarter of an hour later.
Mao Pan was rolling and crawling in the mine.
His subordinates were faster than him.
Only he was left.
He experienced flickering lights.
He experienced a large group of black shadows chasing him from behind.
Leading the charge was Ma San, who had a face full of flesh and a large chunk missing from his head, exposing the tissue.
This ghost seemed to be intentionally torturing him, like a vicious wolf, circling around Mao Pan relentlessly.
It scared the spoiled boy, making him cross-eyed and incontinent.
After a while.
This ghost suddenly rushed forward.
It directly entered Mao Pan’s body.
A moment later.
Mao Pan slowly opened his eyes.
“Interesting…”
He looked back.
A sneer crossed his lips.
“Luo Yang…”
Then he limped towards the mine entrance.
…
Chen Tai never imagined.
Even with ghosts, someone would still dare to come down.
But luckily, his artifact wasn’t lost.
As for whether this is a blessing or a curse, and what kind of impact it will have?
To be continued.
