Chapter 298: Physics and Reason
Because Yan Xu did not have an official identity, he asked for cash and specified small-denomination bills, no more than fifty, and preferably five or twenty.

Yang Pu raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He knew that Yan Xu either did not have an official identity or was unwilling to reveal his identity.

As for why he didn't suspect that Yan Xu had sneaked in, he was not blind. The other party's outfit was worth at least five figures, and his spirit and temperament were not like Yan Xu. This was also the reason why he didn't call the police to steal something. He was afraid of getting into trouble, so he nodded, but it would take some time.

Yan Xu left the ginseng behind and would come back to get the money later. As for whether the other party would turn against him and deny it, he had developed this skill precisely for this purpose.

As long as you are strong enough, people will like to talk to you about reason rather than physics.

Similarly, as long as you are strong enough, you often prefer to talk about physics rather than reason.

As for why Yan Xu asked the other party to pay with small-denomination banknotes, which was so troublesome, it was mainly because the national conditions of the Lighthouse Country were somewhat special. For some reason, people here generally believed that large-denomination banknotes were related to illegal crimes.

So in the East you can show off by taking out a stack of RMB, but here, if you take out big bills, even if you are wearing famous brands and driving a luxury car, as long as you are not in a high-end consumption place, you will easily attract vigilant eyes.

This is mainly because the Beacon Country has long been accustomed to using credit cards and small checks, which makes it easier to calculate taxes. Only transactions that cannot be seen by others will be conducted using large-denomination banknotes.

This means that if you do not have legal and reasonable proof, carrying a large amount of cash out is likely to be confiscated. Even with reasonable proof, it may sometimes be confiscated, and there is no way to reason with it, and it is impossible to get it back. This is why Yan Xu wants to get a legal identity first, otherwise it will be inconvenient to do anything.

As for how to get a legal identity certificate, first of all, you must not go to the official department, because that is no different from delivering it to your door.

You can't look for small advertisements on the street either, because those things can only allow you to enter a bar and have a couple of drinks before you reach adulthood, and the bar doorman has to pretend to be dazzled.

But snakes have their ways, and rats have their ways. Most local gangs of a certain size have the connections and abilities to obtain a few legal identities.

This kind of legal identification actually cannot withstand scrutiny, but this is a business. Even if they know there is a problem, they cannot make it clear, otherwise they will commit suicide that night by being shot in the back.

The only problem is how to make the other party help you willingly instead of taking advantage of you.

"Manhan Restaurant." Yan Xu looked up at the ancient restaurant in front of him and the two muscular men in suits in front of the door, and walked inside.

"Master, wait a moment. Do you have an appointment?" Although Yan Xu was of extraordinary appearance, the man in a suit at the door still stopped him politely.

"May you be blessed with infinite happiness. I am not here to eat, but to see Wang Longtou about something." Yan Xu bowed, his tone as calm as if he was here to get a bus card.

"Master, please wait a moment. I will go and ask if Longtou is in the restaurant." The man in the suit said after hesitating for a moment.

Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Yan Xu's dress and demeanor are such that no one can ignore him wherever he goes. So even if the man in the suit had no impression of him, he did not dare to refuse directly, but found an excuse to go in and report.

Wang Yibo is the leader of a local Chinese gang. This Manhan Building is his base camp, where he usually handles business and formulates the next stage of development. Gang leaders like Wang Yibo have long since left the level of collecting protection fees and leading fights on the streets. In fact, he not only has his own industry, but also has a good status. Managing a gang is more like managing a company, so he is not so leisurely on weekdays.

"A Taoist priest specifically wants to see me?" Wang Yi Bo put down the pen in his hand. He was not angry when his work was interrupted, because he knew that ordinary matters would not be reported to him.

"Baode, go and take a look. If there is a chance, invite him over." Wang Yi Bo said to the bald man with such strong muscles that his suit was about to be torn apart.

Baode nodded and walked out the door. His sturdy body was surprisingly light and there was no sound of footsteps.

Wang Yi Bo was not at all surprised by this. This confidant of his was no ordinary person, but a legitimate martial monk. If he had not committed a crime and could not return, it would have been his turn to take him in.

Baode is worthy of him. He has helped Wang Yibo solve many problems over the years, so he has won his trust.

As soon as he came out of the Manhan Building, Baode knew that the other party was not an ordinary person.

Ordinary people might be confused by Yan Xu's appearance and dress, but Baode is different. This guy is extremely talented. Even though he stayed in the Lighthouse Country, he did not neglect his martial arts. On the contrary, because of a lot of actual combat, his strength improved by leaps and bounds. Therefore, when he saw Yan Xu, his whole body froze. This was his instinct reminding him.

"Greetings, Taoist priest. My name is Baode, and I'm Longtou's personal assistant. Longtou is waiting for him upstairs now. Please move aside, Taoist priest." Baode's respectful look startled the two men in suits at the door. They quickly stepped aside and bowed. At the same time, they were glad that they didn't chase him away directly, otherwise they would not be as simple as just a slap in the face.

"I didn't expect to see a martial monk here. His kung fu is pretty good." Yan Xu looked at Baode. Although he didn't know how the martial arts realms in this world were divided, judging from his qi, blood, and bones, his strength should not be bad.

"Master, thank you for your praise. I have long since returned to secular life and now follow the leader." Baode said with a smile, touching the scar on his head. Then he stood at the stairs and stretched out his hand to let Yan Xu go first.

"That's a pity." Yan Xu shook his head and said, no matter which world the Buddhist practice is from, there are certain requirements on the mind and Buddhist practice, so no matter how hard Baode practices, his future achievements will be limited, unless he is gifted enough to achieve great enlightenment.

When he came upstairs, Yan Xu saw Wang Yi Bo and Wang Long Tou who were making tea.

Wang Yi Bo is not very old, just over 50 years old. Because he takes good care of himself, he looks like a middle-aged man in his 40s. He also does not look fierce in appearance or temperament. Rather than being the leader of a gang, he looks more like a successful person with a successful career.

"I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person, so I can only offer you tea to make amends. Taoist priest, please have a taste of it. This is the tea sent by an old friend from China. It's quite good." From Baode's attitude, Wang Yi Bo knew that he was no ordinary person, so he invited him warmly.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, this is a rare and delicious tea." Yan Xu was not polite. He sat down, took a sip of tea, and then explained his purpose.

"Legal identity? No big deal, I'll get someone to do it right away." Wang Yi Bo readily agreed without mentioning the money at all.

Yan Xu didn't intend to owe anyone a favor for such a small matter, so he placed a talisman on the left and three small yellow croakers on the right.
