Doomsday: Start with the strongest talent

Chapter 384 Gold and Silver Gang!
Hunters often need to fight fierce beasts hand-to-hand, and ordinary adults can't do this, let alone children.

Moreover, hunting is still a very professional job, and there must be an old hunter who teaches by example, and the master leads him in, otherwise he will die.

This requires a certain social relationship. Chen Yun is an orphan and cannot rely on anything, so naturally he does not have such social relationships.

So he can only be a herb collector.

The equipment used by the herb pickers is very simple, all they need is a bamboo basket, no matter how poor they are, they still have enough money to buy a bamboo basket.Even if I can’t afford it, there are many bamboos in the mountains, and I can weave one by hand.

The auxin of the elixir is irregular, so the herbal pickers don't talk about skills, some people talk about skills, but it's useless.The skills of the herbal pickers are roughly the same as those of the lottery players. They talk about it in a superficial way, but they can't even win a scratch.

Picking herbs is more about luck.

Many people who have been collecting herbs for a lifetime only collect some common herbs, and they can barely satisfy their hunger through untold hardships.

However, many newcomers to the industry unexpectedly get treasures such as century-old ginseng and make a small fortune.

Make a fortune?
That is impossible!

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes.

Where there is dispute, there is martial arts.

Whether it is a herb picker or a hunter, they will be exploited by the largest local gang, the Gold and Silver Gang. No matter what good things they get, they can only be sold to the Gold and Silver Gang.If someone dares to hide treasures and sell them to the outside world, it is best to pray that he will not be discovered or leaked, otherwise, he will be beaten to death and his body will be hung on the tower for public display.

But if you sell something to the Gold and Silver Gang, you will be exploited by the Gold and Silver Gang.

For example, the herbal medicines of the herb collectors are sold to the Gold and Silver Gang, and the price is only [-]% of the outside price, [-]% to [-]%.

This is not over yet.

After taking [-]% of the money, you have to give half of it to the steward of the Gold and Silver Gang, which is regarded as protection money.If you can choose not to pay the protection fee, you will offend the steward of the Gold and Silver Gang. It is a trivial matter for the Gold and Silver Gang to reject your herbal medicine, and you might lose your life.

So in fact, after layers of exploitation by the Gold and Silver Gang, the herbal pickers can only get 15% of the original reward.For example, things worth ten taels of silver are sold for only three taels of silver, and those that fall into my own hands are even less, only one and a half taels.

But that's the end of the exploitation, any further exploitation would break the rules of the Gold and Silver Gang, and it would be investigated and dealt with by the higher authorities.The reason for this is not that the Gold and Silver Gang is kind-hearted, but that they cannot starve leeks to death!

15% of the herb collectors are exhausted every day and still have food to eat. If they are exploited again, even if they work ten hours a day, they will not have enough to eat.Is the herb picker still willing to work?

The leeks should be cut hard, but the roots should not be dug.

When it comes to sustainable depletion of resources, the Gold and Silver Gang are experts.

Therefore, even if the herb pickers picked good herbs, they would only make a small fortune, and it was impossible for them to make a fortune.

It's not that there is no chance of making a fortune. For example, if you collect a treasure such as the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, even if you sell it to the Gold and Silver Gang, even if you have to make a donation after taking 15%, you can get a few hundred taels. The money is enough to buy land and property and become a well-off self-cultivator.

For the sake of long-term benefits, the Gold and Silver Gang also allowed the herb collectors to get rich after obtaining precious herbs.Anyway, there are very few precious herbs, and there may not be one plant in a year. Allowing such lucky people to make a fortune can mobilize the enthusiasm of all herb collectors.

Otherwise, killing such lucky ones will only make the herb collectors despair, even if they encounter rare elixir, they may not go to pick it.After all, treasures and elixir are located on the cliffs, and picking them requires risk. If there is no benefit, who would take the risk?
Moreover, the hopeless herbal pickers might eat the rare elixir directly or hide it, and the Gold and Silver Gang would get nothing.After all, the members of the Gold and Silver Gang only know martial arts, but they don't know how to read minds, so it's impossible for them to know if others hide it and don't sell it.

If it is sold out, the entire sales channel in Liangzhou is related to the Gold and Silver Gang, and it cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Gold and Silver Gang.Even if he went to other states, he would still be discovered by the Gold and Silver Gang if he traveled so far.

So few people venture outside to sell.

The Gold and Silver Gang's strategy for the herb collectors is that although they can continue to exhaust the fish, they still have to miss some small fry, so that the fish cannot become extinct.Overfishing is overfishing. If the fish are really extinct, then their own industry will collapse.

Compared with herb pickers, although hunters are also exploited, they are treated better.

Because although most hunters don't know martial arts, they have some fighting skills after fighting with ferocious beasts for so many years. Shooting arrows from a distance, low-level warriors are also tired of coping.

Moreover, most of the hunter groups are father and son, mentors and apprentices, and relatives, who are closely related to each other and are very united.Targeting one hunter is tantamount to offending all hunters.

With the strength of the Gold and Silver Gang, these hunters could of course be suppressed, but the management cost would be too high.Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the Gold and Silver Gang allows hunters to get 20%, which is [-]% to [-]%.

Chen Yun has been exploited by the Gold and Silver Gang to make a living since he was a child. His luck is not bad, and it is difficult to have enough food. However, he usually picks some wild fruits, catches some fish, and buys some rice with his Weibo income, which can satisfy his hunger.

He didn't have any real residence either, so he opened a cave in the mountains and lived in the cave.There are not a few such cave-dwelling herb pickers. After all, no matter which world of the heavens and myriad worlds, real estate prospers the country, industry harms the country, and real estate is a sharp knife for cutting leeks. Thinking about buying a house, it is definitely unaffordable.

Chen Yun just lived until he was 16 years old. He was skinny and listless. This was the result of long-term malnutrition and not eating too much salt.

Salt in this world is very expensive, and it's all poor-quality coarse salt. In this way, Chen Yun didn't get enough salt, so he was often listless and lethargic.

He is like a humble ant, living extremely hard in this world, no one cares, but he is inadvertently stepped on by the big shots.

Chen Yun's biggest goal in life is to save money and marry a wife. He doesn't know why he takes this kind of thing as his goal in life, but all the men around him have such a goal in life. Those men who get married are envied by others. Perhaps it is the meaning of life, so I pursue it.

He earns on Weibo, and after so many years, he has saved three or two taels of silver from his teeth.With such a small amount of money, let alone marrying a daughter-in-law, it is not enough to get in the door!
