Being an otaku in the world of American comics

"Just as I guessed, this is Majiazhuang, and it's not far from the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song." At this moment, Liang Yue was walking on a town street with distinct Qing Dynasty characteristics. The town in front of him was not large, but as a stopover for merchants near Zhengzhou, it was quite bustling.

Teahouses, restaurants, tailor shops, gold and silver jewelry stores, pawnshops, snacks, fruit stalls, and so on, it could be said that though the sparrow is small, it has all its vital organs. As his eyes wandered, he even found a money house on one side of the street.

As a modern person, Liang Yue was naturally quite curious about this original ancient imperial street scene, and his eyes kept looking around.

Unfortunately, he was currently "short of money" and couldn't afford to spend. Although the MC world was rich in resources, it didn't produce silver.

Fortunately, as a second-best option, Liang Yue had a lot of gold on him.

Not to mention the gold mines originally from the base world, even just the gold bars scavenged from the banks and jewelry stores in Toko-shi during the Apocalypse world were enough for him to live comfortably.

He casually walked into a gold and silver jewelry store that looked quite large. A clerk with squinting eyes greeted him with a smile, quickly and silently sized him up, and then said.

"Greetings, Daoist priest, what can I do for you at our humble shop?"

Looking at the man's face, which, although smiling, faintly kept people at arm's length, Liang Yue guessed that the other party might have mistaken him for a beggar.

So, without further ado, he flipped his sleeve and took out two gold bars weighing about one kilogram each from his wide sleeve.

According to the exchange rate of the Qing Dynasty, one jin is approximately equal to sixteen taels, so four jin is more than sixty-four taels, and in this era, the exchange rate between gold and silver is probably about one to ten.

Converted, that's about six hundred and forty taels of silver~

For Liang Yue, a single man determined to roam the world and gain experience in this world, this was already a considerable fortune.

Because according to some historical records, during the Kangxi period, one tael of silver was enough to buy one hundred and fifty jin of the best quality rice.

Moreover, the problem is that Liang Yue also has the entire base world as his backing, and he doesn't lack anything to eat or drink…

He casually threw the two gold bars into the arms of the clerk, whose face was already shining with excitement, then Liang Yue sat down on a chair next to him and waved to the clerk.

…

As the saying goes~ Money makes the mare go, this is an unchanging truth that applies to ancient and modern times.

In a short while, seven or eight exquisite snacks were placed on the small table next to Liang Yue, and a pot of tea, infused with unknown leaves, was constantly emitting faint tea fragrance.

Even the incense burner in the corner of the shop had just been lit with sandalwood…

It really allowed Liang Yue to experience firsthand the feeling that the customer is God.

After a while, the clerk with squinting eyes came out from the back hall, and then came forward with an apologetic look, looking at him and said.

"I'm really sorry, Daoist priest, my master happened to have something to do just now and went out to visit a friend, and cannot personally come to receive you for the time being."

"It's okay, just give me back the silver quickly."

Liang Yue didn't think much when he heard this, and replied, holding a cup of tea and looking at the clerk.

"You are very generous, Daoist priest, please wait a moment~"

…

This time, the clerk was gone for a while, a full half an hour, leaving him alone in the front hall, which was really intriguing.

It wasn't until the door of the gold and silver shop was closed from the outside that Liang Yue, who lacked serious Jianghu experience, finally realized what was happening.

"Okay~! I've only been in this world for less than half a day, and I've already encountered two groups of people coming to make trouble. The three little punks before just wanted to rob some money,"

"Now, the situation in this store, they probably want to keep something more."

"The local customs are really simple and honest~"

Just as Liang Yue was sitting there sighing inwardly, the squinting-eyed clerk finally appeared again, still with that emotionless smile on his face.

However, this time, he was followed by four strong men, each holding a wooden stick, staring at him with wide eyes, seemingly trying to create some kind of intimidating power.

Unfortunately, Liang Yue didn't even bother to glance at them at this time, holding a cup of tea in his hand, with a half-smiling expression on his face, waiting to see how the other party would fool him.

"I have really neglected the Daoist priest, but this time I'm afraid I'll have to make you come in vain. A batch of gold bars was lost from our shop a few days ago, exactly the same as the two you gave us today."

"So, for the sake of prudence, this shop cannot exchange the silver for you for the time being. Also, if it is convenient, please cooperate with our shop and go to the government office."

"It just so happens that our boss's brother-in-law is the chief constable of this county. That lord is as wise as a god in solving cases, and is famous in our county. I think he will definitely not wrong the Daoist priest."

"What is your opinion~"

As soon as the squinting-eyed man finished speaking, the four strong men behind him immediately surrounded Liang Yue, with ferocious smiles on their faces.

"Tch~! I thought it would be some kind of reason, but your statement is not very original."

Seeing this, Liang Yue's original smile immediately faded, turning into a cold look, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

With a thought, a sharp straight knife instantly appeared in his hand. Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and swept the four people in front of him!

"Shua~!"

An arc-shaped crescent blade light instantly flashed before his eyes.

The wooden sticks in the hands of the four people on the opposite side were undoubtedly split in two, and at the same time, the sharp edge directly slashed across their chests, leaving deep, bone-deep wounds.

In the blink of an eye, blood soaked the front of their clothes.

One unlucky fellow even had half of his palm directly cut off by this knife!

"Ah~!!"

The four of them immediately screamed in unison, softly falling to the ground, wailing while clutching their wounds, without a trace of their previous ferocity.

Seeing this situation, the squinting-eyed man suddenly showed a look of astonishment, looking at the straight knife that suddenly appeared in Liang Yue's hand, his eyes finally opened, filled with horror.

However, immediately afterwards, a trace of cunning flashed in the depths of this man's eyes, he stepped back and shouted loudly at the same time.

"Come on! There are bandits robbing and killing~ Eh!"

Before the clerk of the gold shop could finish a sentence, Liang Yue had already followed closely, and the straight knife in his hand was used again!

Immediately, the squinting-eyed man's mouth was cut horizontally with a neat gash, and half of his tongue flew out.
