Chapter 123 Players' Mentality
Sure enough, the next day the Yang family received a letter, which was wrapped in a stone and thrown in from outside the wall.
Yang Weizheng was about to rush out and catch the person who delivered the letter, but was kicked down by the strong and vigorous Yang Zhenze.
"I can spoil you normally, but this matter concerns the life and death of your own nephew, so you can't do anything reckless." Yang Zhenze said with a cold face.
Yang Weizheng also knew that it was useless to catch a messenger, but he just couldn't bear it. However, reality forced him to bow his head, so he could only sit on the ground and sulk.
"Delin, tomorrow you take Wei Chen and start selling off the valuables at home. Don't make too much noise and don't hide it intentionally. Then exchange them for the goldfish. Three days later, I will ask a few of my disciples to go with Wei Chen and bring money to exchange for the great-grandson. Don't be nosy during this period and bring the person back alive." Yang Zhenze carefully instructed his son and eldest grandson.
Since the other party came to the door, he must have some knowledge of the Yang family's financial situation. Therefore, Yang Zhenze had to act to let the other party know that the Yang family had been emptied of its assets and suffered heavy losses.
If you take out the money without hesitation, nine times out of ten you will get the money but not the person back.
The other party is breaking the rules by doing this and may make more money, so who cares about the rules?
Therefore, the Yang family had to act in a way that let the other party know that there was nothing left to gain and that they could quit while they were ahead.
Yang Zhenze didn’t know whether it would succeed or not. If the other party was greedy, he might have to sell this ancestral home.
Three days later, Yang Weichen came back with the child in his arms, looking relieved.
Yan Xu, who had been staying at Yang's house for the past few days without any movement, suddenly stood up and prepared to leave.
"Xiao Xu, if the noise is too loud, the people upstairs won't be able to sit still." Yang Zhenze handed his docile great-grandson, who had fallen asleep after working hard, to his granddaughter-in-law, then turned around and said to Yan Xu who had already walked to the door.
"Got it. I won't come over during this period of time." Yan Xu didn't know if it was because he hadn't spoken for too long or for some other reason, but his voice was a little dry. It made the sensitive Yang Weizheng shiver all over, and his hands and feet shook uncontrollably.
"Grandpa, where is my uncle going?!" After Yan Xu left, Yang Weizheng, who had noticed something, became excited and his face flushed. He grabbed Yang Zhenze's arm eagerly and said that he couldn't do anything these days and was almost going crazy.
"No matter what you do, you have to stay at home obediently. Unless I allow you, you are not allowed to step out of the house." Yang Zhenze slapped Yang Weizheng on the back of the head, making the troublesome grandson stagger, and then said in a firm tone.
Everyone present here is not stupid. Once they think about it, they will know why the old man said that.
"Dad, what about Xiaoxu?" Yang Delin, the son and senior brother of Yan Xu, said after a moment of hesitation.
"Don't worry about Xiaoxu's affairs and don't say anything." Yang Zhenze waved his hand decisively.
Others might think that Yan Xu was not a decent person as he just sat there these days, not helping or saying much, but Yang Zhenze could feel the growing murderous aura from him. His ferocity was so great that even he, who was well-informed, felt terrified. That was why he couldn't help but say this when Yan Xu left. He was really afraid that this disciple would make a big fuss.
During this period of time, Yang Zhenze already knew about the conflict between Yan Xu and the Qing Gang, and knew that this disciple was indeed worthy of being a general's son. He would kill people at will without even saying a word.
Yan Xu returned to his own courtyard. The lawyer was looking through the account book. He looked up and saw the master and hurried over to greet him. "Master, the business of the concession shops is really making a fortune, but the goods are selling too fast. I don't know if we can make it to the end of the month." The lawyer was speaking with his hands clasped together, but suddenly saw that the master's face was not right, so he immediately shut up.
"Corn Snake has gathered some good players recently." Yan Xu took off his windbreaker and sat in the main seat. The master immediately found the feeling and hurriedly said.
"Most of them are low-class street thugs. The only ones who can be considered good are seven swordsmen from the north, known as the Seven Wolves of the Desert. I have seen them before, and they are ruthless guys who have killed people. Therefore, Rape Snake has no chance to subdue them. He just thinks they are a fool, so he eats and drinks what they eat. Maybe they will just leave one day." The master looked down on Rape Snake. When he was still the master of the Green Gang, such people didn't even have the qualifications to speak to him.
However, the master had just arrived and did not even have a runner to do odd jobs, so the lawyer had to bear it with it. However, when it was time to slap him in the face, he still gave him a hard time.
"Let him call people over. I can be of use." Yan Xu said calmly, then burned incense to the statue of Guandi, and then picked up the Mo Dao to maintain it.
The previous Mo Dao could no longer meet Yan Xu's needs, so Master Jiang and Master Huo spent a lot of effort to forge it a second time.
The newly forged Mo Dao was seven feet long and weighed forty kilograms. It had a long blade and a short handle, and was very wide and thick. Therefore, its chopping power was extremely great. It could cut a pig in half just by its inertia, which showed how sharp it was.
When Yan Xu held the knife, his blood boiled, murderous aura surged, his eyes began to turn red, and he always wanted to cut something.
His condition has improved, but it doesn't mean it has disappeared. It's fine in the safe and relaxing modern world, but once he comes to other worlds, he always has the urge to release all the evil thoughts in his heart without restraint.
There is a beast and a devil in everyone's heart, but it is suppressed by morality and the rule of law, and the latter comes from a peaceful and stable social environment. Once it is unrestrained, the evil of human nature will be beyond everyone's imagination, including one's own.
This phenomenon is particularly serious in Yan Xu because he is so special.
The first world is the Warring States Period in Japan, a time of chaos and disorder, with demons running rampant and nobles controlling everything, including life and death.
Although it helped him adapt well to the dangers that he would inevitably encounter when traveling through the heavens, it also magnified his inner desires.
As soon as he arrived in the second world, he was involved in the escalating conflicts, which made him deeply feel the dark and cruel side of the world, and at the same time he was forced to get used to killing.
All of these can still be salvaged. In fact, Yan Xu's biggest problem is that he can go to more than one world. That is to say, even if he completely ruins one world, there will be more worlds to choose from.
It's like a child picking up shells on the beach. With countless choices in front of him, he doesn't care whether the shells under his feet are crushed. He may even deliberately step on them just to hear the crisp sound of them breaking.
To put it bluntly, it is the player's mentality. When he treats every world as a copy, that is when he becomes an alien demon.
Although Yan Xu has not yet truly realized the seriousness of the matter, the steady mentality and mature outlook on life brought from his previous life allow him to instinctively restrain himself and find solutions and channels to vent.
After receiving the notice from the master, Ragdoll hurriedly got out of the arms of the new woman, put on his clothes in a hurry, and went to find a few new recruits, intending to let the master see his abilities.
