Chapter 37: The Middle-Aged Man's Dealings and Tact

Yan Xu knew very well that under the various constraints of reality, he could not ignore everyone's IQ and the authority of various departments like the male protagonist in the cool novel, and achieve the achievements of Yan half of the city in one year, becoming the richest man in three years, reaping the benefits of the global financial market in five years, and having the final say on who sits in the White House in ten years with an arrogant and unconscious attitude.

It is even more impossible to break the rules at will, make rules arbitrarily, and treat everything in the world as a game.

In fact, this is normal. You are just an insignificant member of this world. Unless you have the ability to rebuild the world, the stronger your strength, the greater the damage you will cause to society.

For example, when you were still a nerd wearing glasses, if someone stepped on your foot and then walked away without looking back, you would at most mutter a few words and curse inwardly that you were unlucky.

But if you had Captain America's physique or internal martial arts skills, you would probably pick up the other person, greet his immediate family members, and then secretly attack him to make him urinate blood.

If you have the power of your motherland, then don't say anything, just start the war, and whoever wins has the final say.

Yan Xu is not an ignorant child, nor is he a young man who is easily impulsive. Although he has obtained a certain honorary status in the orphanage, it does not mean that he has lost his brain.

What's more, he has been enjoying the stability and order brought by the country and society for two lifetimes. Why should he only think about breaking the rules or even getting something for nothing once he gains power?

And with his strength, he can get what he wants to the greatest extent within the rules, and it is reasonable and legal.

So in Yan Xu's eyes, power has a bottom line. Unless you encounter someone who does not follow the rules, it is best not to use it indiscriminately.

Thanks to his thinking from his previous life, he considered more, was not so impulsive, and knew how to weigh the pros and cons.

For example, in his opinion, the first world he traveled to was a small country with weak people. Although there were ghosts and gods, their upper limit was not very high. It was really not of much value and was not worth spending too much time to conquer. After all, he traveled to a new world every year. How could he have the time to waste all his energy on this broken place? Was it just to hear them kneel down and call him master?

The other main reason is how to govern after occupation.

Following King Zhou's words, there is no need for him to fight for supremacy.

If he were to follow Li Shimin's lead, then he would be completely out of his mind.

It has been said that the upper limit of the Japanese world is not high, which will determine that the time he stays here will become less and less, because no matter what, it is just a novice village.

In this case, he knew very well who would benefit from the advanced technology and management methods he left behind and who would be harmed in the future.

It seemed like everything he brought to Japan was carefully considered, even the corn was beaten into stubble and cornmeal, for fear that the seeds would flow out.

Weapons and equipment will eventually be damaged and decay, but seeds will be passed down from generation to generation, not to mention farming and manufacturing techniques, and he had no intention of taking any of them with him.

Yan Xu had no plans to make a big fuss about a world that was destined to be abandoned. Just like a pig farm, he would try to make a small and low-key investment in the early stage and earn as much as he could. When he became stronger, he would go back and cut a few crops of leeks to extract the final surplus value, and finally abandon it directly to avoid any future troubles.

Although doing so would not bring huge profits in the early stage, it was safe and stable enough. It was this middle-aged man's tactfulness and caution that prevented Yan Xu from being suspected by anyone after he replaced his predecessor. Although the first time he traveled through time did not achieve amazing results, it eliminated many hidden dangers and obtained funds for the next step of development, which was enough.

But this does not mean that Yan Xu wants to be a lazy person, otherwise he would not have chosen to travel through time in the first place. Wouldn't it be better to let the bronze door leave?

His plans for the future will change with his own strength and the power he controls. Simply put, when his strength is not high, he will be an unknown person, a pure passerby. That's me. When his strength is strong, it is not impossible to go to another world and become someone's ancestor. After all, people always change.

However, the gains after returning this time were somewhat unexpected. The father and son of the Huo family are simply a treasure. With the Red Blood Pill alone, Yan Xu has obtained a controllable elite force. So when he returns to Japan, he can be bolder and try to absorb more wealth and resources, and then expand the real industry to prepare for the next world.

Even if some things are difficult to realize in the real world, they can definitely play a significant role when traveling to other worlds, because he doesn't have those concerns. At worst, he can swipe the card regularly for a year and never go there again.

There is also the issue of the statue of Emperor Guan. If it is really as he thought, then Japan may have more value in utilization.

In the end, the stubborn bladder successfully interrupted Yan Xu's long thinking, and he finally got up and relieved himself.

After taking a long pee, I felt refreshed and all my laziness disappeared immediately.

Yan Xu felt that the lazy state was not suitable for his current young body, and he had to pick up the exercise habits he developed in the Japanese world again. Otherwise, even if a large truck was placed in front of him, he could only wipe the headlights at most, and he couldn't even start the engine, let alone check the rear anti-collision beam.

Thinking of this, Yan Xu changed into sportswear and began to stretch and warm up in the yard according to the secret instructions.

I have to say that there really was something there in ancient times. Although it wasn't as magical as internal strength, a few movements combined with a special breathing method could make the body warm up. After a whole set of movements, I actually broke out in a light sweat.

You have to know that he is not the wilted middle-aged man in his previous life, but a passionate young man of twenty years old. He has also been training in the Japanese world for a month. His physical fitness is definitely above average among people of the same age. Now it is autumn, and he will definitely not sweat after just a short while of activity. As a result, after a set of movements, his muscles that have been dormant all night are quickly awakened, and his heart and lungs are also in good condition.

However, this set of movements can only be used for warm-up and to reduce the chance of injury. It is not suitable for enhancing physical fitness and strength, so he took out a book on swordsmanship and started to imitate it.

It is not easy to get started with this set of sword techniques. You need to coordinate your chopping with your breathing until you find the right frequency. This way, each chop will feel very smooth, and the key to getting started is to be able to have this feeling with every chop.

For Xiaocheng, he would maintain this state and practice a complete set of sword techniques, and in actual combat he would be able to behead someone or cut through leather armor with one sword.

It is said that Dacheng can chop off a bull's head with one sword, but Yan Xu doesn't believe it. At least he doesn't believe that anyone can do it with a one-handed sword.

This is not a question of strength, but a one-handed sword cannot withstand this kind of pressure and collision.

However, similar boasting can be found in every secret book. Yan Xu doesn't care and is not in a hurry. He slows down his breathing, controls his movements, and takes it slowly. Time will help him develop a habit, and everything will come naturally.
