Chapter 528 Current Situation
Steel rolling mill.

It was busy again at the beginning of the month, so Li Kailang took a task and started running.

On the way back, we stopped by Su Daqiang’s secret base.

"Calculating the time, they should be almost done digging, right?"

Last time, Su Daqiang dug the tomb chosen by Li Kailang, and then he dug the tomb chosen by Su Daqiang.

It took ten days or half a month to dig out the tomb, and not long after, they started digging the next one.

Li Kailang came this time to take away the harvest.

Not long after, Li Kailang entered Su Daqiang's secret base.

"It's really a coincidence that I came here today, just when they were all dug out."

There were all kinds of dry antique toys on the floor, and gold, silver and jewelry on the table.

"This time the harvest is quite rich. There are so many things."

Li Kailang sighed, it was just a treasure of yellow value, but he didn't expect the harvest to be so large, totaling more than a dozen items.

The most valuable items are still gold and silver ingots, but the quantity is still small.

As time goes by, Li Kailang now has quite a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in his hands, including the treasure from the tomb that Su Daqiang dug out last time.

There were originally only 7 small silver ingots, but now there are 23.

There were originally only three gold ingots worth five taels, but now there are nine.

Add to that other antiques such as calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, and other antiques, and there are more than 20 items in total.

Since all the things were here, Li Kailang directly calculated the total value, and then kept the corresponding money, as well as food, gunpowder and other supplies.

"Done, time to call it a day!" Li Kailang clapped his hands, packed up the things, and returned to the steel mill.

I glanced at Su Daqiang on the way. He was plowing the fields like Su Xiaoqiang.

Now Su Daqiang has at least three to five hundred yuan in his hand, which can be said to be richer than the village chief, but he still hasn't forgotten his job.

As for the others, they had not forgotten either, and Li Kailang did not care. In this team of five people, the most important one was Su Daqiang.

As long as he can be dealt with, it doesn't matter if the others are replaced. Now Su Daqiang is convinced by him.

Ever since Su Daqiang dug out the tomb he had chosen and saw that the harvest was indeed as Li Kailang said, he was convinced.

Whatever Li Kailang says, we will do it and never object.

As soon as he returned to the steel rolling mill, Master Wang came to see him.

"Xiao Li, it's just right that you're back. Hurry up and give me a hand. There are two things I need to make."

"Okay." Li Kailang immediately machined several parts according to Master Wang's requirements.

"Thank you. I feel much more at ease with you in our transport team. If I need anything, I can just ask you to make it. It's more convenient than asking someone in the workshop."

"You're welcome, Mr. Wang. It was you who taught me this technique." Li said modestly.

"Alas, I didn't teach you anything. It's all thanks to you that you have achieved what you have today. I don't deserve any of that." Master Wang waved his hands and looked at the freshly-made workpiece.

"Have you improved your skills? I see these artifacts are much better than before."

Master Wang has a sharp eye and immediately spotted the difference in the workpieces.

"Master Wang, you have a keen eye. You have discovered this. My skills have indeed improved a little bit."

Hearing this, Master Wang was delighted: "You have made great progress. Congratulations."

"Good luck, good luck." Li Kailang replied with a smile.

Li Kailang was originally only a level 5 fitter, but now he is a level 6 fitter. This promotion happened to be during the final practical assessment, which was a coincidence.

Li Kailang didn't expect that the opportunity for promotion would come during the practical assessment.

"I didn't expect that under such a small amount of pressure, I could actually push myself and get a promotion during the assessment."

On the one hand, this upgrade was a natural outcome, but on the other hand, it was forced by Yan Wanbin.

He stood beside Li Kailang and watched him do it, which forced Li Kailang to be a little restrained. Unexpectedly, this pressure actually led to an upgrade.

Li Kailang didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

Looking at the sixth-level fitter displayed on the panel, "After reaching the sixth level, I can be considered as a senior fitter. The next level will not be easy."

There is still a year and a half left until 62. Li Kailang originally thought that he could be steadily promoted to level worker, but now it seems that this was a bit exaggerated.

But the time has not come yet, there is still a chance.

After careful analysis, it is actually not difficult to become an eighth-level worker.

As long as you have the skills, practice makes perfect and you will succeed. Look, Yi Zhonghai doesn't have a very high academic degree, but he still became an eighth-level worker, although he got there by cheating.

Li Kailang was not lacking in knowledge, and with the help of martial arts and maintenance experts, it was not difficult for him to succeed.

If all else fails, you can always rely on upgrade cards.

Thinking of this, Li Kailang rekindled hope.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go back and fix it. They are rushing me."

Master Wang took the workpiece and left, and Li Kailang then completed his task and went to various workshops to collect waste materials.

As the autumn harvest was approaching, the steel mill sent a batch of steel to the rural areas in advance to avoid the lack of farm tools during the harvest.

With experience, Li Kailang came to the workshop with ease, checked accounts with the workshop director, and took away the scrap steel.

"Oh, it's really strange that the scrap steel is so light this time." The man carrying the scrap steel couldn't help but say.

"Isn't it better to be light? Are you trying to lift something heavy? Besides, if it's light, doesn't it mean that our workshop has a lower failure rate?"

"That's true. A low failure rate will actually benefit our workshop."

The men carrying the scrap steel were chatting and didn't notice that someone shivered and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He gently wiped off the sweat, lowered his head and worked calmly.

No one noticed anything unusual about him, not even Li Kailang.

The scrap of steel is calculated by quantity, not by weight. A small amount of scrap can be counted one by one, but if the number is large, who can count them?

Besides, if someone did something bad, it is impossible that he did it completely bad. It is possible that he split it into two or three parts.

Someone is making money by exploiting this loophole, and it has not been discovered yet.

"Okay, thanks." Li Kailang handed cigarettes to the people who helped carry the scrap steel, then asked the director to sign, and left.

After delivering the last village, Li Kailang was finally able to take a break.

"Where are you running to, little thief!"

"Lululu~ You can't catch me."

"Humph, you bold little thief, how dare you look down on me, a great hero? I will catch you!"

"I've caught you. Let's see where you dare to run!"

"Sir, please spare my life, Sir, please spare my life!"

"Hahaha~"

Li Kailang watched with great interest as he watched a group of little kids in front of him sneaking out of their busy schedule to play the game of being a hero.

Children can still play before the autumn harvest, but once the harvest begins, they will have no time to play.

"Hey, watch out!" The little thief who had surrendered himself took advantage of the hero and ran away with a kick of dust.

"Cough cough~" The hero was left coughing on the spot.

"You're breaking the rules! How can you play like this!" The hero couldn't sit still anymore.

"I didn't!" Looking at the children playing together, Li Kailang looked at his personal panel with a dazed look.

In the past two months, Li Kailang has made great progress in Kung Fu.

After many transactions with Dalong, Li Kailang now has more than 50 martial arts secrets books in his hands. He selected a few of them to practice his boxing and kicking skills.

The [Qinggong] that he had practiced before has also been mastered to the point where he can fly over eaves and walls and land silently.

Li Kailang used his martial arts skills to evade several police raids on the black market.

The wrestling he learned from "The Story of Wrestling" was also mastered to a proficient level.

In addition to these two, there is also a sword technique called "Ghost Shadow Sword".

As the name suggests, the sword comes out like a ghost, without any visible shadow, killing people invisibly.

It sounds very powerful from the introduction, but in fact Li Kailang has practiced it, and it’s nothing more than wielding the knife in a strange way.

The main point is that the only way to defeat martial arts in the world is speed. As long as the sword is drawn fast enough, you can't see the shadow of the sword.

So you can't see the knife shadow at night, but you can still see it during the day.

Li Kailang originally wanted to stop learning, but since he had been learning for a while, he continued to learn and stopped when he reached a proficient level.

From these skills, Li Kailang felt the improvement of the 'Superman' mode. Although it was not big, it was at least an improvement.

Therefore, Li Kailang determined his future learning path.

"It is enough to practice other skills to this point for now. The main thing is to focus on fists and kicks. Improving to the 'Superman' mode is the right way."

The current Superman mode can sense that the speed of the surroundings has slowed down by more than half. Previously, he could dodge two or three bullets, but now he can at least dodge four or five.

“Maybe if I practice more, I will embark on the path of martial arts, and maybe one day I will be able to break through the void and ascend to heaven in broad daylight.”

Of course, these words are just talk.

"You've been cheated, you little thief, I can't catch you!"

"I don't accept it! You lied to me!"

"Hehe, this is what the village chief taught me. It's called deception in war!"

The children were playing and Li Kailang had rested enough, so he drove back.

After a busy day, I finally get off work and go home.

Today is Tuesday. According to the previous encounters with Dalong and Lao Guantou, we need to meet them and resell some food in exchange for secret books and antiques.

But this matter was suspended last time.

After trading for more than two months, they had sold almost all the antiques they could.

The remaining ones that have not been sold must be more valuable. I don’t want to sell them and plan to keep them.

Secondly, it was close to the autumn harvest. After the most difficult time, they had stored enough food for the autumn harvest and were not trading much.

Seeing this, Li Kailang laid it all out with them last time.

"I see you have stored enough food. How about this? We don't have to come here to trade each other. It will save you trouble and it will also save me trouble."

"Let's stop this transaction for now. I'll come over to take a look when I have time, but I probably won't be here in the short term."

Dalong nodded: "Okay, since you said so, I will do as you say. Do you have a fixed time? It will be troublesome if I can't find you when something urgent happens."

In order to prepare for a rainy day, Dalong decided to ask a question in case he couldn't find Li Kailang if something went wrong in the future.

Li Kailang thought for a moment and said, "Let's set it for the first Saturday of the month. Is this time okay?"

Li Kailang didn't care much about it. He would go and take a look when he had time, and forget about it if he didn't have time.

"Okay, this time is good." Dalong nodded.

After the discussion, Dalong and the others did not bring any secret books, so everyone left.

After several transactions, the team that originally had only Dalong has gradually grown to nearly twenty people.

Most of these people only come to exchange food when they are short of food. They will not come if they are not short of food. They have no plans to expand this circle, and it seems that they want to keep this matter firmly in their own hands.

Li Kailang didn't meddle in this matter, after all, he was busy going to school at that time.

"Anyway, there's still a lot of time left, so take your time. If it doesn't work out this year, you can continue next year. I don't believe you're the only ones who want to do this."

"Oh, it's much easier now that I'm done. I can finally give myself a break."

Li Kailang felt relieved, but he didn't know that Dalong happened to have some problems and was looking for him urgently, but Li Kailang didn't go last Saturday.

He was so anxious that he was dizzy and waited for Li Kailang to come for a long time. Now he regretted quitting so early.

According to the old rules, after trading with Dalong and the others, Li Kailang would go to the Baoju Game to play a few rounds to improve his gambling skills.

Not anymore.

"I've been playing in the treasure bureau for so long and spent so much money, isn't it just for today?"

Li Kailang looked at the word "Mastery" clearly written on the gambling skill panel. He spent a lot of money to advance from the original mastery to mastery.

Li Kailang no longer dares to go to the Baoju Bureau. Every time he goes there, he will become the focus of the whole audience.

"Hey, isn't this our rich man? Why don't you play a few rounds today when you have time?"

"Mr. Rich, I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please come this way!" The person in charge of the treasure bureau warmly entertained Li Kailang.

The people on the side looked at Li Kailang greedily, wishing they could eat his flesh alive.

Everyone gathered around him, and wherever he went, they followed him, like a sniffle that couldn't be shaken off.

Only newcomers were confused by Li Kailang's popularity.

"Hey, why are they surrounding him? What's so great about this guy?"

He glanced at the newcomer beside him and said, "You don't know this, do you? This is a famous benefactor in our city!"

"My great benefactor has spent a lot of money in the treasure bureau in the past two months, at least three thousand yuan. Many people have made money from him. I heard that those who followed him made at least a few dozen yuan."

"It's hundreds of dollars more. How can he not be popular? Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I won't make any money if I go too late!"

After saying that, he hurriedly followed, squeezing out the people in front of him, wanting to get close to Li Kailang to make money. If he went too late, he would be left standing.

"Hey hey hey~" Instead of squeezing in, people were squeezed instead.

"How can this be called a great benefactor? Isn't this a pure victim? I'm going to go even if I lose 3 yuan!"

By losing money, Li Kailang earned himself the reputation of a great benefactor and became well-known in several gambling venues.

Every time people come, they want to ask if Li Kailang is there. As long as he is there, they can make some money from him.

Li Kailang spent not just 3 yuan but 1 yuan on several gambling games.

The minimum bet in several gambling games was 2 yuan, and the maximum was 4 yuan. Otherwise, how could it be possible to reach the mastery level of gambling skills in just two months.

It's all bought experience.

Although it cost him 1 yuan, Li Kailang didn't feel bad about it. He thought, why not take such a good shortcut by spending money to improve his skills?

Besides, the total value of his money is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, and it's just spending 1 yuan, which is nothing but a drop in the bucket. There's no need to feel bad about it.

There were people who had bad intentions towards Li Kailang because he spent money lavishly, but these people were either stopped by the Bao Bureau or...

Or maybe he was just thinking about making money slowly and didn't want to harm Li Kailang.

Anyone who wanted to harm him was shot dead.

Ever since he reached the master level of gambling skills, Li Kailang has not gone to the Baoju Game again. He has seen all those cheating methods and they are not interesting at all.

Dozens or even hundreds of people in the treasure bureau looked at the door eagerly every day, waiting for Li Kailang to come and deliver the money.

But Li Kailang didn't want to be called a victim anymore.
