Chapter 2: Dispatch the debtor

Xu Kuang opened his eyes and looked at what he had pulled out in surprise.

It turned out to be just a pair of sunglasses, or a pair of old-fashioned toad glasses to be precise.

Xu Kuang originally thought that even if he couldn't draw anything like a tank or armored vehicle, he would at least be able to draw a Gatling emergency response. But it turned out to be a sunglass that even a dog's brain could not imagine.

The corner of Xu Kuang's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but pick up his sunglasses and look at it.

Suddenly, a note button appeared in front of him, and he pressed it without hesitation.

Cuihua's emotionless mechanical electric female voice sounded in his ears again.

"Prop name: Yan Shuangdiao's sunglasses - Xu Kuang prayed to the gods, and the only person who answered him was the great god Yan Shuangdiao holding two guns.

Prop attributes: none

Prop skill: Possession of Yan Shuangdao - Using this skill, you can enter the state of 'half-human, half-ghost and the best gun', which lasts for one minute and has a cooldown time of thirty days. ".

Xu Kuang was confused. He always felt that the name Yan Shuangdiao was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he just couldn't remember it, which made him very confused.

When he saw the "half-man, half-ghost, number one gunman" below, he felt that this person should be very famous, but he just couldn't remember it.

Xu Kuang frowned and began to think carefully about who this Yan Shuangdiao was.

After a while, he finally remembered that Yan Shuangdiao was a character in a very famous TV series in his previous life. .

He began to look forward to the skill of this "half-man, half-ghost, the best gun", and even wanted to try it now.

But at this moment, Xu Kuang's door was knocked.

"Come in.".

Ryan walked in and said to Xu Kuang:

"Master, Victor sent someone here and said he wanted to talk to you about the debt issue."

When Xu Kuang heard these words, he felt that one was bigger than the other. He hadn't even started to generate income yet, but the debts had come first.

He was just about to speak when he heard Cuihua's voice.

"Cuihua reminds you that the mission function has been unlocked.".

"Mission: Default

Your father's death may be related to Victor, and those detective mercenaries are also vaguely connected to Victor. Please keep your eyes open, exercise restraint, and find a way to turn over this debt.

Mission Difficulty: B

Mission reward: Magic Crystal Generator × 1, Number of Draws × 1, Professional Experience × 350."

Xu Kuang was shocked. He wanted to confirm again. He called out the panel and found that there was an additional "Task:" option on it.

Xu Kuang browsed the mission again and confirmed that he had read it correctly.

"Then it seems that this matter is true...".

His face immediately darkened. He didn't expect that the death of his cheap dad was related to his creditor. He recalled the way Victor lent him a loan shark a few months ago, and he immediately understood in his heart that this old guy was... A trap was set up for him to drill into!

Xu Kuang looked at Jenny, with a hint of anger on his face, and he said to Jenny:

"Jenny, go find me a knife. The scarier the shape, the better. By the way, bring me a whetstone."

When Jenny heard this, her face turned pale, and he said to his young master:

"Master, please calm down. If you kill...".

Xu Kuang waved his hand impatiently and said to Jenny:

"I have my own idea, go ahead."

Jenny glanced at Ryan and went to find the knife and whetstone.

Ryan was just about to say something, but he saw Xu Kuang's calm and calm look. The words came to his lips, but nothing came out.

"Forget it, that's it anyway, let's go with the young master."

Not long after, Jenny came with something. The knife was a guillotine used for cutting fodder, and its shape was extremely scary.

Xu Kuang took the knife in his hand, weighed it, and looked at it for a while. He was very satisfied and said to Ryan:

"Let's go, take me to meet that Victor.".

"It's not Victor, it's his messenger.".

"Then take me to see his messenger.".

Ryan was stunned for a moment. He looked at Xu Kuang and rubbed his eyes vigorously, as if he suspected that he had seen something wrong. He understood very well that the previous lord was not so calm and calm, nor was he so confident and calm. , let alone say such words so lightly.

But Ryan soon felt relieved, and he murmured:

"This may be a good thing...".

He immediately said to Xu Kuang:

"Master, follow me."

Xu Kuang nodded and immediately went with Ryan to meet Victor's envoy.

Only when Xu Kuang met this man did he truly understand the meaning of the four words "thief eyebrows and rat eyes". This man had a goatee and a shrewd gleam in his small eyes, and he looked like a rat.

When this man saw Xu Kuang, he immediately raised his head and looked at Xu Kuang with a leering look. He smiled evilly at Xu Kuang and said:

"Lord Xu Kuang, time is coming. Is it time to pay back the eight thousand gold coins you owe us?"

Xu Kuang frowned. He remembered that the system clearly recorded 6,300 gold coins, but when it came to him, it turned out to be 8,000 gold coins.

Xu Kuang walked up to the man unhurriedly, then grabbed the man's goatee fiercely, put the guillotine on the man's shoulder with his other hand, and let the sharp blade of the guillotine move a little bit The ground approached the man's neck, and soon, a series of bright red blood beads appeared on the man's neck.

The man was immediately frightened and started crying like a wolf.

Xu Kuang ignored the man's miserable howl and asked directly:

"I clearly remember that I owed Victor 6,300 gold coins. How come it has become 8,000 gold coins to you? Are you playing with me here?! Tell me carefully, how much do I owe? Otherwise, I will shake my hands. , your head just fell off...".

The man's Adam's apple twitched with difficulty, and he said without hesitation:

"It's six thousand three, it's six thousand three. Master Xu, please let go first. Please let go first."

Xu Kuang asked with a smile:

"You can let me go, but tell me first, what are your adults doing now?"

"this……".

The man looked troubled. He looked at Xu Kuang and said to Xu Kuang:

"Master Xu, you have to understand me. If I tell you everything, my whole family will not end well."

Xu Kuang's face immediately turned ugly. After a moment, he sighed, let go of the man, looked at the man, and said to him in the most serious tone:

"You go back and tell Victor that if you want to ask me for money, just negotiate it yourself. Otherwise, there is no need to discuss anything else."

The man's expression suddenly changed. He didn't expect Xu Kuang to be so tough, and he became at a loss for a moment.

"Do you...do you want to think about it again?"

Xu Kuang looked at this man, the corners of his mouth raised, and he asked with a smile:

"By the way, I haven't had time to ask, what's your name?".

"Ah? My name is Siples, what do you have...".

Siples did not continue speaking because he saw Xu Kuang waving to York standing aside.

York was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant. Ryan stepped forward and kicked York hard on the butt. York was in pain, but he understood what Xu Kuang meant. He grabbed Siples's buttocks. collar and threw him out directly.

Siples got up from the ground in embarrassment. He looked at Xu Kuang and said to Xu Kuang:

"Master Xu, I hope you remember that it was you who took the initiative to challenge the relationship between the two parties.".

Xu Kuang smiled and nodded.

At the same time, Cuihua's mechanical electric female voice also sounded in Xu Kuang's mind.

"Cuihua reminds you that the system space function has been unlocked, and the current capacity of the system space is: 10 cubic meters."

"The task is completed and the reward has been stored in the system space.".

"Is that what he told you?".

In a luxurious castle, Victor was half-lying on a huge seat, enjoying the fruit served by the delicate maid, while squinting at Siples with his peripheral vision. The young man on the side looked at the delicate maid and swallowed a few times in vain.

Siples nodded, his legs were shaking a little, and he understood that if he failed in this matter, he would probably be unlucky.

The boy next to Victor said:

"Father, this Xu Kuang is bullying others too much. Why don't you let me lead a group of soldiers and crush them on Mushroom Ridge!".

Victor shook his head and said:

"Don't worry, this guy is just a bug and can be crushed to death at any time. Your enrollment is a big deal. Your eldest brother sent a letter saying that the Magic Academy in White Birch City is about to enroll students. You should go with me first and follow up there in advance. After making acquaintance with the admissions teacher, it won’t be too late to deal with him when he comes back.”

When the young man heard this, he had a longing look on his face, but he had already forgotten about Xu Kuang.

Victor looked up and saw Siples' frightened face, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Siples couldn't help but tremble when he saw Victor's expression.

Task: Continue to default on debts

Mission content: Victor is a rare local hero. Although he is surprised by your performance, he has not given up his intention to collect the debt. He planned to ask Siples and his second son Audrain to come to ask for it a second time a year later. This time they have no intention of peacefully asking for help, so please be careful with the host.

"Mission Difficulty: B+

Mission rewards: Type 92 infantry gun × 1, 70 high-explosive bombs × 100, C-level base construction drawings × 1, and professional experience × 3500. ".

Xu Kuang looked at the difficulty level of B+ and his face fell.

At this time, Cuihua’s electric female voice sounded again:

"Mission: Farming

Mission goal: Double food production based on the existing population.

Mission Difficulty: C

Mission reward: ZB-26 Czech light machine gun ×2, 792 Mauser rifle ammunition ×2000, professional experience ×1000. ".

Xu Kuang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly had a plan in his mind.

He said to everyone:

"Don't go patrolling for the time being. Winter is coming soon. They won't attack for the time being. Grandpa Ryan, go and gather everyone. I have a meeting."

Everyone was used to Xu Kuang's turmoil.

Ryan didn't say anything, just turned around and did it.

Not long after, all the subjects of Mushroom Ridge appeared in front of Xu Kuang.

Xu Kuang couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the ragged appearance of these people.

At this moment, Cuihua’s voice sounded again:

Mission: Recruitment

Mission content: To defend against the next wave of enemy attacks, you must have an army of more than fifty people. From now on, you need to recruit fifty people, regardless of gender.

Mission Difficulty: D+

Mission reward: D-level river × 1, telescope × 3, soldier basic training manual × 1, professional experience × 250. ".

Xu Kuang looked at the D-level river in the mission reward. Although he was curious, he also understood that now was not the time to delve into the mission reward.

He must now give the group of people in front of him some reassurance.

Xu Kuang climbed to the roof, looked down at the group of people, and spoke slowly:

"Have you figured out how to spend this winter?".

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone looked embarrassed.

Just seeing the expressions of these people, Xu Kuang knew that without him this winter, many people might have died.

"It seems that none of you are ready for this...".

Xu Kuang looked at the numb people below, sighed, and said:

"I still have some gold coins here. I will ask Butler Ryan to take people to several surrounding towns to buy food. After the food is bought, it will not be a big problem for us to survive this winter."

Ryan raised his head suddenly, but he looked at his young master standing on the roof and sighed again.

He was shocked to find that he could no longer see through the child he had grown up watching.

The crowd suddenly became quiet. Although they were numb and ignorant, they were not stupid. They understood that there was no such thing as a free lunch. Whether the rent would be increased next year or a prostitute would be procured, it all depended on the young man's mouth.

Sure enough, Xu Kuang's next sentence was:

"But this food is not free, you have to work to have food to eat!".

Everyone looked calm. This result was much easier to accept than a rent increase.

Xu Kuang said:

"We'll tell you what I want you to do specifically after we buy the food. I don't like writing bad checks, so let's just let it go!"

The crowd dispersed.

Xu Kuang climbed down from the roof and turned around to find Ryan standing in front of him, which shocked him.

"What are you doing?"

Ryan sighed and asked:

"Master, do you know how many gold coins we have left?".

"I still need 169 gold coins, I know it very well."

Ryan looked at Xu Kuang in surprise, and the doubt on his face became more intense.

Xu Kuang smiled and said:

"You must be curious, we only have so few gold coins, why should I make this decision?"

Ryan nodded.

Xu Kuang smiled and said:

"If this group of people starve to death, then the gold coins in our hands will be our last property, do you understand?".

Ryan took a deep breath, he already understood what Xu Kuang meant.

"Just buy a hundred gold coins of grain. Just buy the cheapest grain that can keep people alive. You can take out one gold coin and buy two sheep. Then buy some cows, horses, pigs, lambs, and then..." .

After Xu Kuang rambled for a while, he said to Ryan:

"Go ahead and ask York to bring a few stronger men to accompany you. Be careful on the road."

The food was quickly bought.

The residents of Mushroom Ridge were quickly summoned.

Xu Kuang set up two large pots in front of the Baron's Mansion. The pots were filled with mushroom and mutton soup, and asked Jenny to lead people to bake a lot of flatbreads, enough to feed two hundred households and thousands of people.

The aroma of the mushroom and mutton soup came out, making many people shed tears of emotion. Everyone's eyes were staring directly at the two big pots, which were glowing with a faint green light.

Xu Kuang walked between the two pots, turned to Jenny and York and said loudly:

"Remember later, people who don't line up, because people who line up and fight, no matter what the reason, don't have food to eat!".

Xu Kuang turned around and found that the team had formed two teams.
