However, Silver Tiger was notorious in Zhiyue City. Uncle Ah Bang could not feel at ease even with Zhang Feng’s words.

“Aiya, don’t say that I didn’t warn you. When Silver Tiger comes, you have to prepare the money, understand?” Uncle Ah Bang sighed and left the shop while shaking his head.

Zhang Feng crossed his legs and waited for the opening hours to end. When it was 10 pm, he closed the shop on time.

It was really miserable. His income today was still zero dollars, and he even gave Xia He a weapon.

Xia He and Xia Xi were regular customers, but they had also gone to the training ground. Fortunately, Zhang Feng still had a chance to draw.

When it was time to close for business, Zhang Feng summoned the system. “Is the system here? I want to redeem the lottery that you gave me today!”

This time, the system did not say much. Instead, it directly placed the lottery draw in front of Zhang Feng. “Then you can draw.”

After a few rounds of lottery draws, Zhang Feng had figured out a trick. When he was pulling the stick, he should not pull it down too hard. He had to pull it slowly then he could get something good.

Of course, this was just what Zhang Feng thought… After Zhang Feng pulled the stick, the screen of the lottery draw began to spin again. Finally, it stopped at a Skill Stone*3.

This was something new again. Zhang Feng had never heard of a Skill Stone before.

Zhang Feng’s eyes widened when he saw the new item, he could tell by just looking at the name, that it must be something pretty good.

Furthermore, based on the personality of the system, this was definitely a type of crystallization of a skill, right? However, these were even rarer than crystals refined from training. Zhang Feng was probably going to be rich!

The system said, “The reward has been selected and is beginning to be distributed. Please check.”

When Zhang Feng heard the system’s words again, he took the initiative to extend his hand. Then, three rocks the size of quail eggs appeared.

These stones were translucent.

These were for skills from three main attributes, and the attributes were Earth, Wind, and Thunder. These three attributes were more suitable for a Mage. It could also be used if you put it on a Warrior’s weapon, but the effect was not as strong as a Mage’s.

The attributes and usage techniques of the Skill Stones appeared in Zhang Feng’s mind.

“That’s right, these are the Skill Crystals I had imagined!” Zhang Feng exclaimed. According to the rules of the character, as long as these three Skill Stones were sold, the system would not be able to participate in the commission. All the money were to be kept by Zhang Feng himself.

This way, Zhang Feng would again earn back a huge sum of money! Furthermore, the attributes of these skills were obviously not weak. If they were sold, Zhang Feng would be rich.

“Not bad, not bad. I’m in a very good mood. Hahaha, I’ll definitely sleep very soundly tonight!”

To him, he was still too low-leveled to use these Skill Stones. Hence, he could only sell them to the higher-leveled ones. And naturally, the higher-leveled ones would not lack money. Just thinking of this made Zhang Feng snicker in his bed.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Feng had only slept for two or three hours when there was a commotion outside. Zhang Feng woke him up. He rubbed his eyes and put on his shoes before walking over to take a look.

It turned out to be Silver Tiger’s subordinates, Blackiron Cat and Brass Dog. They were holding some pendulum hammers. It was obvious that they wanted to smash Zhang Feng’s shop.

Alright, although the intelligence of Zhiyue City was still very complicated, as expected, the mercenaries still had one eye open and one eye closed when it came to shops that they had no impression of.

Therefore, Silver Tiger and his gang took advantage of these inconspicuous shops. If each shop gave them some money every month, it was enough for them to live on.

“How arrogant. I didn’t expect there to be a shop that wouldn’t pay our management fees. Looks like the people here are really bold!” Blackiron Cat swung the pendulum in his hand as he looked at the shop in front of him.

After Zhang Feng’s shop was upgraded, it looked much more pleasing to the eye. Therefore, to Blackiron Cat and Brass Dog, it looked like Zhang Feng’s shop had earned quite a lot of mone and just didn’t want to give them management fees.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve trashed a shop like this. Today is a good time for us to warm up our muscles!”

“Looks like our Violent Beast Gang is being looked down upon by others. That’s why they’re so arrogant, isn’t it?” Brass Dog looked left and right, and found that the mercenaries had already knocked off. He then exchanged glances with Blackiron Cat.

Blackiron Cat said to Brass Dog, “This is the one. You go first!”

Brass Dog started swinging his hammer at Zhang Feng’s shop. Now even though they were named after cats and dogs, their muscles were actually as terrifying as silver-backed gorillas.

However, only a loud thud was heard. “Dong…”

Not only was Zhang Feng’s shop completely fine, but the hammers in their hands had also fallen to the ground. Their hands were trembling, and the web between their thumb and index finger was hurting from holding the hammers.

“This, this, what’s going on?!” Brass Dog’s eyes widened. That’s impossible, right? It was a glass window that they were trying to smash just now! Even if the glass was bulletproof, it couldn’t possibly withstand the hammer!

“Did you not sleep at night recently and did something else more exciting with your hands? Is that why your body is weak?” Blackiron Cat mocked Brass Dog.

Brass Dog was not happy. “If you are more capable, then you do it!” Even if he did some embarrassing things every day, his body was not a joke. There must be something fishy about this shop.

Blackiron Cat heard him, swung the hammer in his hand, and slammed it viciously against the glass window.

It was the same sound as before. However, the impact this time made him take two or three steps back, and the hammer in his hand hit his shoulder blade.

“So painful!” Blackiron Cat looked at the glass window in front of him in disbelief. More than the pain on his body, he was embarrassed to show that his body was so weak as well in front of his brother.

The two of them looked at each other again and said, “I don’t believe it. Let’s do it together!” They picked up their pendulum hammers fiercely again, preparing to smash the shop again.
