I Use My Secondary Job To Add Talents

Chapter 31: Bountiful Harvest

Song Fulu was actually somewhat surprised by the nighttime attack.

In Passing River City, although Passing River Association was a local gang, both in terms of the number of experts and the territory they occupied, they were no match for the Crimson Tiger Gang.

But unexpectedly, it was Passing River Association who launched the first attack on the enemy headquarters.

This move by Passing River Association completely tore apart the relationship between the two sides, leaving no room for compromise.

According to Song Fulu's understanding, Crimson Tiger Gang had not yet sent anyone to attack Passing River Association's headquarters.

The battle at Crimson Tiger Gang's headquarters lasted until around six in the morning before finally coming to a halt. Lu Dagen cautiously left his residence to investigate the situation around Crimson Tiger Gang's headquarters.

Although Lu Lixi and Lu Dagen lived in Crimson Tiger Gang's house, because they were not at the gang's headquarters, the people living here were just peripheral apprentices and not of much importance. Therefore, there were no people from Passing River Association who came to attack them last night.

If it weren't for this, Song Fulu and the others would have already found another place to hide.

Half an hour later, Lu Dagen returned and told Song Fulu that half of Crimson Tiger Gang's headquarters had been burned down, but the attacking Passing River Association martial artists had also suffered heavy casualties.

Although Crimson Tiger Gang had indeed suffered losses, Passing River Association had suffered even greater losses. Both sides could be said to be equally wounded.

What made Song Fulu happy was that not many of the top ten masters in the Pharmacy Department had died. Ma Qingshan had also survived. The main reason for this was that Song Fulu had personally poisoned and killed more than ten elite members of Passing River Association who had attacked the Pharmacy Department. In particular, he had severely injured Chen Zhan, an Earth Gate Martial Artist from the Python River Hall, causing his strength to plummet. This gave the Pharmacy Department a chance to catch their breath.

If they had faced Chen Zhan at his peak, along with the additional ten-plus Interior Refinement Martial Artists, the Pharmacy Department would have suffered heavy losses, even if they weren't completely wiped out.

It was precisely because of Song Fulu's actions that the Pharmacy Department had a chance to survive.

Lu Dagen had just returned, and Ma Qingshan, who had fought all night, couldn't care less about his exhaustion. He brought several high-ranking members of the gang to see him. "Xiaofu, are you alright? I heard that you were hit by Chen Zhan's palm. I brought some healing medicine for you."

As he spoke, Ma Qingshan placed several bottles of high-grade healing medicine at Song Fulu's side. Song Fulu pretended to be weak as he got up. "Thank you for your concern, Manager Ma. Although I was hit by Chen Zhan's palm last night, there was a lake between us, so the injury wasn't serious. I just need some time to recuperate."

"That's good. Lie down and don't get up. Good things happen to good people. After repelling the attack from Passing River Association last night, I immediately had people look for you. It wasn't until now that Lu Dagen brought good news that I found out you're okay." Ma Qingshan said worriedly, his concern evident on his face, not just for show.

After confirming that Song Fulu was unharmed, Ma Qingshan finally felt relieved. He quickly had people carry Song Fulu away, and he had already arranged a room for him in the medical clinic at Crimson Tiger Gang's headquarters.

Song Fulu did not refuse. Compared to the place where the apprentices lived, the medical clinic at Crimson Tiger Gang's headquarters was safer.

And if the Passing River Association were to find out that the three masters of the Crimson Tiger Gang's Pharmacy Department are here, they would definitely send people to attack and kill them. It's better to leave early.

On the way, Ma Qingshan told Song Fulu some good news. Because of his great contributions this time, the Pharmacy Department and the gang rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold, plus a large amount of gang contribution, which is equivalent to several years' worth of tasks for Song Fulu.

Song Fulu was also very happy about this. With this gold and gang contribution, along with the several thousand taels of gold he had previously obtained, he could exchange for most of the things he needed from the Golden Classics Tower, and still have some left to exchange for the treasures and resources he wanted.

Currently, what attracts Song Fulu the most at the Golden Classics Tower are the precious prescriptions and formulas for cultivating rare medicinal materials and treasures. As for the high-level books of various secondary professions at the Mortal Level, Song Fulu had already exchanged for all of them. Without this, it would not have been possible for him to make breakthroughs one after another in such a short period of time.

As for other resources and treasures, Song Fulu wants even more. The medicinal materials needed to refine Blood Essence Pills, various rare treasures that accelerate cultivation, precious self-defense items... It's unknown how much gold and gang contribution would be needed to exchange for all of them.

Although last night's attack destroyed half of the Crimson Tiger Gang's headquarters, it didn't affect the clinic much.

Song Fulu was arranged to recuperate in a delicate courtyard in the clinic, and a maid was assigned to take care of him. The treatment was on par with the managers of various departments in the Golden Toad Hall.

It was also because of Song Fulu's great contributions this time that he saved the extremely important Pharmacy Department, which led to such treatment.

Zhao Chihu, the leader of the gang, specially came to see Song Fulu and instructed him to take good care of his injuries and speak up if he needed anything.

Zhao Chihu was tall and mighty, standing at a height of two meters. He was a top expert at the Earth Gate Perfection level, only one step away from advancing to the next layer. His strength was consistently ranked in the top three in Passing River City.

As the youngest Middle Level pharmacist in the Pharmacy Department and a genius in alchemy who was most likely to advance to the High Level pharmacist in the future, Song Fulu naturally had many people who wanted to befriend him. It was said that Song Fulu was injured for the sake of the Pharmacy Department, and his future prospects were limitless. In the past few days, high-level members from various gangs came to visit one after another, and Song Fulu took the opportunity to receive many good things.

The maid Yun'er who served Song Fulu became even more attentive and diligent, not daring to be negligent. In her eyes, Song Fulu was obviously a top figure in the Crimson Tiger Gang.

Yun'er was extremely beautiful, comparable to a celebrity on Earth in her previous life. Her skin and figure were even better, after all, this world was nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and could cultivate. The overall quality of women far surpassed that of Earth.

However, Song Fulu was focused on cultivation and didn't want too many distractions. He didn't pay much attention to it and treated Yun'er normally, without any crossing of boundaries, although Yun'er might have some ulterior motives.

Taking advantage of the break, Song Fulu used the gang contribution and a large amount of gold to obtain many good things from the gang, such as precious prescriptions for poisons, cultivation techniques for rare medicinal materials, protective armor, special resources and treasures... All the gang contribution was used up by Song Fulu.

During this period, the battle between the Crimson Tiger Gang and the Passing River Association became even more intense. In order to encourage the gang members to quickly increase their strength, the Crimson Tiger Gang took out their savings from many years. Many precious resources and treasures could be exchanged at half price, especially various books, which could even be exchanged for only a fraction of the original contribution.

Faced with such a good opportunity, how could Song Fulu miss it? Naturally, he used up all the gang contribution and gold he had, not leaving a single bit, even the several thousand taels of gold were all spent.

Such a rare opportunity only comes once in decades. As long as there are gang contribution and gold, no gang member would want to miss it, and Song Fulu is no exception.
