Surviving in a chaotic world and becoming a saint by adding points

Chapter 12 Sneak Attack

"To be reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, where there is no more worry."

"To be reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, where there is no more worry."

"Ding ding~"

A series of footsteps echoed through Rat Street.

Chen Ran, who was practicing the Limit Breaking Technique, slowly opened his eyes.

Through the window, he saw a group of cultists dressed in white Lingluo sect robes, their faces deathly pale, leading a group of people out of Rat Street.

Among them were emaciated refugees who were barely clothed, and others who were well-dressed and appeared wealthy.

He was following at the back of the group with a face full of fervor.

"Isn't anyone going to do anything about this 'Purifying Fire' cult?"

Chen Ran shook his head.

With the world in such chaos, it's natural that many evil spirits and monsters will emerge.

The Pure Fire Cult is one of them.

According to those who have joined, they can not only eat their fill of food there, but also get to eat meat.

Chen Ran was different from this group of ignorant refugees.

In an era when everyone was starving, eating meat was a luxury.

Even those who learn martial arts at the school may not be able to eat meat every day, let alone those at the very bottom of society.

Watching the large group of people walk away, Chen Ran put on his night clothes and walked towards the door.

Since they had come to cause trouble for him time and time again, Chen Ran naturally wouldn't let this Poison Scorpion Gang get away with it.

After breaking through the limits, Chen Ran could clearly sense the rustling of the wind and the movement of grass around him as he walked on the dark streets.

With his enhanced five senses, Chen Ran felt as if he were in an uninhabited place in the darkness.

Soon, he arrived at the Poison Scorpion Gang's base.

This is a large courtyard near the civilian area. At the entrance, several Poison Scorpion Gang members are drowsy and guarding the gate.

Reaching the corner of the wall, Chen Ran flipped over and entered the inner courtyard.

The courtyard is not very spacious, with only a few rooms.

Chen Ran easily found his way to the room of the Poison Scorpion Gang leader.

Taking out the sleeping powder he had prepared beforehand, Chen Ran blew it into the room.

After waiting a while and realizing that the person inside the room was not responding, Chen Ran climbed in through the window.

Inside the room, on a large bed, Chen Ran saw two pale, fleshy bodies entwined in passion.

He remained in the same position before he lost consciousness.

"Knows how to have fun."

One person struck each of them, knocking them both unconscious. Then, they took out lime and smeared it all over their eyes to prevent them from waking up later.

He then drew his long staff and broke both legs of the Poison Scorpion Gang leader.

Throughout the process, the other party did not react in the slightest.

After doing all this, Chen Ran carefully searched Yao Xiao's room for money.

Finally, Chen Ran found a large bag of silver in a hidden compartment under his pillow.

A rough estimate would be around fifty taels.

"So rich, damn it."

Packing his bags, Chen Ran climbed over the wall and escaped.

As night fell, Chen Ran quickly headed towards his home.

There were no major incidents during this period.

Back home, Chen Ran lit an oil lamp and took out his harvest.

He counted it; it was a full sixty taels of silver, more than he had imagined.

"Robbing the rich to help the poor is still the fastest way to make money."

Chen Ran placed the box in the hidden compartment, took off his clothes, and went to sleep peacefully.

In addition to the twenty taels that were returned.

Eighty taels of silver should be enough to buy some monster meat.

………….

"Aaaaaah!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the entire Scorpion Gang.

The Scorpion Gang members, who were fast asleep, were startled awake by this piercing scream.

Some even clutched their crotches, their faces filled with tears.

"Which son of a bitch is yelling like that?!"

"I was so scared I almost peed my pants."

"Why are you still screaming like that?!"

"Boss, that sound seems to be coming from the gang leader's room."

On the bed, someone suddenly said this.

The crowd, who had been cursing incessantly, immediately shut up and listened attentively.

"Holy crap, it really seems to be true. Let's go check it out."

"Let's go, let's go."

Inside the Scorpion Gang leader's room, Yao Xiao, his face covered in lime, was crawling on the floor.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

"Boss."

"Boss."

"Shut up! Can't you see my leg is broken? Call a doctor right now!!!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Who touched me?!"

In an instant, the scene descended into chaos.

………….

The next morning, Chen Ran got dressed and got up early.

Instead of going to the martial arts school, Chen Ran carried the large sum of money and headed towards the butcher shop.

"Old Zhang, do you have any monster meat here?"

"Oh, it's Chen Ran. I don't sell monster meat here. If you're asking where you can find it, the black market controlled by the Canal Gang might have it."

The Caobang has many martial artists, so they consume a lot of this stuff.

"My family is small and poor; we can't even sell all the meat we buy from hunters and livestock farmers."

After buying meat from Butcher Zhang several times, Chen Ran became quite familiar with him.

Butcher Zhang is an honest man. When you buy meat from him, you get the exact weight and he won't cheat you.

He's a rare good person.

Thank you.

"Want some wild boar meat again today? I specially saved a wild boar head for you today, how about it?"

"No, two catties of wild boar meat will do."

"Okay."

Carrying two catties of wild boar meat, Chen Ran went to the rice and noodle shop to buy some daily necessities.

As soon as Chen Ran arrived near the rice shop, he saw a group of people gathered in front of the shop.

"Two hundred and fifty coins? I bought some last week for only two hundred coins. Is your rice shop robbing us?"

"This year there's been a severe drought and an insect infestation, resulting in a complete crop failure. If you don't want to buy, you can leave, but don't block the way for the people behind you."

"What do you mean?!?"

"If you don't have money, then get lost."

At the very front, the rice shop owner was arguing with a man who looked like a laborer.

In his agitation, the laborer tried to fight, but was immediately pulled down by the rice shop owner's men.

"You dare to lay a hand on me? Beat them up!"

"Bang bang bang bang!!!"

Under the onslaught of fists and kicks, the laborer simply couldn't hold on.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I don't want it anymore, I don't want it anymore."

"Those who want to buy, come and buy; those who can't afford it, get out of here."

The crowd was emaciated and numb, and with the rice shop owner's smug face and the laborers' weak pleas for mercy, no one dared to cause trouble anymore.

The laborer was thrown out by the rice shop thugs, lying on the roadside, barely alive, like a dead dog.

The crowd passed by him without a second glance, instead taking out their stained copper coins to buy rice that would keep them alive.

After buying ten kilograms of refined rice and some everyday seasonings, Chen Ran slowly left.

Brown rice has no nutritional value and can actually hinder the flow of qi and blood in the body, so you should only buy refined rice.

As Chen Ran passed through an alley, several figures blocked his way.

"Hand over the rice and meat!!!"

The leader was a dark-skinned man, tanned to the point of being skin and bones. He had a fierce look in his eyes, which were bloodshot, and he stared at the rice and meat in Chen Ran's hand with longing on his face.

"Wu Heng?"

A surprised exclamation came from Chen Ran's mouth.

Wu Heng was stunned. He looked up at Chen Ran, his greed vanished, and his eyes filled with tears.

"Chen, Brother Chen."
