Wandering in the world of martial arts

Chapter 169 Smearing and Fighting Back

"I want to use a piece of information to exchange you for 30 catties of meat!"

After the young man ensured his safety, he opened his mouth to Wu Chen.

"Oh? So, you are here to sell information, I thought..."

Wu Chen pursed his lips, "Tell me, what information is it?"

"You promise me first that you will give me 30 catties of meat before I will say it!" said the young man.

"As long as your information is valuable enough, let alone 30 catties, I'll give you 50 catties, but if you dare to fool me with some spam, then I won't give you even a catty!" Wu Chen said lightly.

"My information is absolutely valuable. Let me tell you that someone is maliciously spreading rumors about you in the settlement! I only found out about it by accident!" the young man said in a low voice.

"Someone spreading rumors about me?"

Wu Chen's heart skipped a beat.

In the past few days, the remarks to discredit him in the settlement have continued.

He thought it was the result of him having the corpse carried in a parade, so he didn't care.

But now it seems that things are different.

"Then tell me, who spread it maliciously?" Wu Chen asked.

"You must promise me that you must not reveal that I told you, and you must honor the meat first." The young man said.

"Don't worry, I won't tell you, my friend." Wu Chen readily gave him 30 catties of dried meat.

"It's the person from Qingniu who is in charge. I don't know who it is." After the young man said this, he picked up the dried meat and was about to leave.

"Remember, if you have any valuable information in the future, come to me again, and I will give you a good price." Wu Chen said this while looking at his back.

"Got it." The young man paused and left.

Wu Chen was lost in thought.

He robbed monsters and robbed Tingyu.

The person who listened to the rain must not know that he did it, otherwise he would have come to him long ago.

He has never offended this Qingniu person at all.

Then why, behind the scenes, they sent someone to discredit him?

wrong!

Not without offense!

That day, he rejected the invitation from the three major guilds!
In his opinion, whether to join the guild or not is a matter of mutual consent.

But in the eyes of the three major guilds, this is not the case.
A small hunter dared to refuse their invitation in front of so many people. Isn't this equivalent to slapping the three major guilds in the face?
It's quite possible.

Even if individual guilds don't have this idea, but now that he has been deliberately discredited and stands on the opposite side of ordinary people in the settlement, it is even more impossible for the three major guilds to offer him an olive branch.

He is isolated.

Is this the purpose of the people behind the scenes?
……

the next day.

"Angkor, I'm really depressed today."

While eating lunch, Liu Tong said helplessly.

"What's wrong?" Wu Chen asked her.

"Didn't you tell me to pay attention to what skill books there are on the market? Today I saw someone selling a 'Primitive Skill - Skinning' in the market. It's a hunter's skill book, so I immediately wanted to talk to that person.

As a result, that person knew that I belonged to you, so he didn't want to give me a chance to talk.

The last book was bought by the people from the Blue Ox Guild who rushed over. "

"Is that so?" Wu Chen frowned.

It seems that his reputation of being maliciously spread rumors still has some side effects.

Although this skinning doesn't seem very important, what about in the future?
If there is a good skill book, won't he suffer a lot if he delays the purchase because of this reputation?

"Liu Tong, I have a mission for you."

Wu Chen ordered, "You go to a porridge shop, I will give you 30 contribution points every day, you use it to buy rice for porridge, as long as you are unemployed, you can come and drink a bowl every day.

Remember, you must spread the word that I assigned you to do this. "

"Giving porridge?" Liu Tong's eyes lit up and said, "Do you want to improve your reputation by doing charity?"

"Yeah." Wu Chen nodded.

In many cases, the defense will become more and more black, so it is not a good idea.

On the contrary, charity is different.

Just like in modern times, many people who became famous through disgraceful means would choose to do charity to whitewash themselves.

Charity is a sharp weapon for the rich to launder their reputation.

Of course, it is also very good for the poor, it is a win-win situation for both parties.

"But in this case, there will be a hidden danger.

That is to say, if we don't do anything someday, I'm afraid the beggars in the settlements will take revenge on us. At that time, these operations may be in vain.

But if you keep doing it, spending 30 contribution points every day, it will accumulate over time...it's really a lot. "Liu Tong said with some heartache.

"It doesn't matter, in modern times, you really have to worry about whether the beggars will smash the shop, but here they dare not mess around.

As for the question of contribution value, it's okay, 30 points of contribution every day, for me, there is no pressure. "Wu Chen shook his head.

"Okay, then I'll do it, but after the reputation is cleared, we'd better find a way to close the porridge shop as soon as possible." Liu Tong still looked a little bit reluctant.

"Let's talk about it. I'm going to go out tomorrow. I may not come back in a day or two. I'll transfer the contribution value to you first. In addition to the porridge, you can also buy some good skill books from people in the settlement."

Wu Chen said.

Immediately transferred 500 to contribute to Liu Tong.

Liu Tong's heart was filled with the feeling of being trusted.

500 contributions!

Such a huge sum of money, Angkor actually transferred it to himself without hesitation?
How much trust is this?
In the afternoon, the porridge shop was finished.

For the location of the porridge shop, Liu Tong chose a location that was relatively close.

The cooking utensil is a large pot bought from a blacksmith.

She wasn't worried that someone would steal the pot, which would cause public outrage.

When word spread about the porridge-giving incident, people in the settlement were dubious.

That devil who kills without batting an eye actually kindly gives away gruel for free?
How can this be?

They immediately went to watch.

"Everyone come one by one, don't worry.

In addition, this store was specially opened by Brother Wu Chen to help players who have difficulties in life.

So professionals are not welcome, please forgive me! "

Liu Tong shouted enthusiastically while taking out a bowl of porridge from the cauldron.

The person who received the rice porridge immediately put it aside and ate it excitedly, probably because he was too hungry, he finished it in a few mouthfuls.

He immediately ran to Liu Tong and said, "Sister, can I have another bowl?"

"No, each person can only get one bowl at a time, otherwise, this porridge shop may not be able to continue!" Liu Tong immediately refused.

Seeing is believing, and only then did the people in the settlement believe that the porridge handout was real.

"Hmph, why are you pretending to be a good person! You didn't see the scene of Wu Chen killing people!"

"If I can't bet for three days, this porridge shop will have to be closed!"

But there are also many people who are ridiculed.

Wu Chen didn't care about these things.

He is ready to go out.
