Chapter 18
The Deal Is On, For One Thousand Taels of Gold

“That depends on what you have. Gold, silver, treasures, rare materials, martial arts manuals, fortune, lifespan, soul, all of these can be used...” Lin Hao said with a smile.

Hearing gold, silver, treasures, rare materials, and martial arts manuals, no one present was surprised. However, when Lin Hao mentioned fortune, lifespan, and soul, everyone's expressions changed.

They understood lifespan, it was simply exchanging their lifespan for what they needed.

But what were fortune and soul? Did such things really exist?

Even if they did exist, how could these invisible and intangible things be pawned?

“Boss, I understand the gold, silver, treasures, rare materials, and martial arts manuals you mentioned earlier.”

“But what are fortune and soul? Do they really exist?” Qiao Feng looked at Lin Hao with a frown, puzzled.

“Of course. Whether you believe it or not, some things are real. And fortune and soul are the most valuable things.”

“If a person loses their fortune, they may just be unlucky. But without a soul, they become a mindless zombie.”

“So, you must think carefully before deciding to pawn those last three things.” Lin Hao nodded.

Everyone fell silent.

They didn't expect that fortune and soul were real.

If they lost their soul for the sake of obtaining something, what would be the point?

Qiao Feng was also troubled.

He had money, but not much, just enough for his drinking.

He didn’t think his drinking money could get him the information. But the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was the core martial art of the Beggar Clan.

He couldn’t teach it privately. The Dog-Beating Stick Technique was also a core martial art of the Beggar Clan, and he couldn’t teach it privately. The Taizu Long Fist was taught to him by his master at Shaolin Temple, and he couldn’t teach it privately.

What to do? Should he really sacrifice his fortune or soul?

“Boss, how much would it cost in money to obtain this information?” Qiao Feng asked after some thought.

“If you use money, it would cost one thousand taels of gold to get this information.” Lin Hao thought for a moment.

Even without the system, he knew this information. One thousand taels of gold was nothing, but the system’s rules couldn’t change.

Otherwise, there would be no rewards.

“What? One thousand taels of gold? Are you robbing us?”

A Beggar Clan disciple was startled, immediately jumping up in anger upon hearing one thousand taels of gold.

“Silence!”

Qiao Feng’s face changed, and he immediately stopped his subordinate.

If he offended Lin Hao, it would be troublesome.

However, Lin Hao didn’t get angry at the Beggar Clan disciple’s words.

Whether it was for the Beggar Clan disciple or for the wealthy, one thousand taels of gold was no small sum.

It was normal for the Beggar Clan disciple to react like this.

“Leader Qiao, don’t be like this. One thousand taels isn’t a small sum. It’s just business, mutual consent.”

“If you don’t want to, you don’t have to do this business.” Lin Hao said calmly.

“Boss, one thousand taels of gold, I can’t afford it. But Qiao must help investigate Brother Ma’s injustice.”

“I cannot teach the martial arts manuals privately. Qiao can only use his fortune for this transaction.” Qiao Feng took a deep breath and said.

As long as he could find out the truth behind Ma Dayuan’s death, what was the point of sacrificing some fortune?

The Beggar Clan disciples were immediately worried upon hearing Qiao Feng’s words.

They didn’t believe in fortune before, but now, seeing how the pawnshop owner valued it, it must be very important.

Their leader was using his own fortune to exchange for this information, this was a big loss.

Bai Zhan Tang didn't expect Qiao Feng to pawn his fortune in exchange for the truth about Ma Dayuan’s death.

This was a bit of a bad deal. After all, fortune was a magical thing.

If he lost his fortune, he would be unlucky for the rest of his life.

Lin Hao hadn’t expected Qiao Feng to pawn his fortune to exchange for the truth behind Ma Dayuan’s death.

This fellow was worthy of being a hero.

He was so dedicated to his brother, but if he knew that the person who killed him was his own close friend, he wondered what his reaction would be.

“Leader Qiao, are you sure you want to pawn your fortune in exchange for this information?” Lin Hao asked, looking at Qiao Feng.

“Yes, Boss. How much fortune do I need to pawn to get this information?” Qiao Feng looked at Lin Hao seriously.
