World’s Best Martial Artist
chapter-709

709 Chapter 707-sleepless night

At the same time.

On earth.

The capital.

Zhang Tao received the call and frowned slightly. Even in the middle of the night, the Ministry of Education was still brightly lit and did not get off work.

“You didn’t suffer any losses, did you?”

“No, they killed a rank-7 martial artist. Li Changsheng brought his men and retreated.”

On the other end of the phone, someone reported the news. After a moment of hesitation, he said,””Minister, is it really appropriate to hand over Magic City catacombs to mcmau? The few of them from mcmau were extremely battle-hungry.

In today’s battle, although they had killed a rank-7 martial artist, Dean li and the others were almost held back.

If anything happens …”

The person who reported the news was somewhat helpless.

“Humans are not as strong as the catacombs. It’s not a good thing to be too warlike.

Just like tonight’s battle, it should not have happened.

A meaningless battle!

He did kill a rank-7 from the other side, but it was still extremely dangerous.

If the catacombs powerhouses were a little faster in coming to their aid, li Changsheng could very well fall into their trap.

He had only caught the other party off guard. Otherwise, if there was another rank-9 invasion on Wu kuishan’s side, he would not be able to come to support them, and it would be even more dangerous.

“I’ll talk to them later. It’s time for li Changsheng to suffer,”Zhang Tao muttered.

“……”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Tao frowned again and said,””What are you doing? Don’t use your spiritual power to probe, don’t you know how to respect your privacy?”

“……”

Li Zhen was stunned for a long time. He couldn’t help but curse in a low voice,”Talk about yourself! I have something to discuss with you. What’s going on in Shanghai? “If mcmau is always like this, fighting these unnecessary battles, then I’ll have to consider whether I should allow mcmau to guard Magic City catacombs!

These bastards … Can’t they be more at ease?

“Zhang Tao, you have to correct the atmosphere of martial arts universities!

Right now, China doesn’t have the strength to initiate a war. The situation is already bad, and if they still initiate a war, wouldn’t they be adding to our burden?”

Li Zhen felt very helpless!

Li Changsheng used to be rather down-to-earth. What was going on?

The battle today was indeed meaningless.

It was said that they were only here to snatch the sunflower seeds!

When Li Zhen received the news, he almost died from depression.

A group of bandits?

The key point was that they were not as strong as others. Were they not afraid of being beaten to death as bandits?

Zhang Tao chuckled and said,”it’s good to have a fight. It’s not a big deal!” However, the defense area would have to change! “If mcmau is in charge of Magic City catacombs, Magic City catacombs will have to arrange for a Paragon to be in charge!

This time, when battle King’s injuries recovered, he would let battle King stay in seven Southern Territory.

As for the nine Southern Territory … Nan yunyue will go and oversee it. ”

“Is there a need?” Li Zhen asked. With Wei zu overseeing the six Southern Territory, the seven Southern Territory …”

“There’s a bit of a problem here in Magic City. If mcmau’s here to suppress them, this kind of battle will happen frequently, but we can’t just leave mcmau unused. That would be too wasteful.

It was necessary to let the battle King take charge.

If we don’t make it in time, the true king might make a move and kill li Changsheng and the others. ”

Zhang Tao’s words made Li Zhen feel very helpless.

This really made sense!

After some thought, Li Zhen said,”it’s a good thing that Fang ping is in closed-door cultivation. Otherwise, if this guy knew that mcmau was robbing him, he might not be able to resist making a move. That would be even worse!”

What you said makes sense. Seven Southern Territory should still be guarded by powerhouses. ”

Zhang Tao didn’t say anything. What Did you know?

If it was not for Fang Ping’s instructions, li Changsheng would not have launched this battle if he had nothing better to do.

Fang ping was in closed-door cultivation, possibly in the catacombs.

Li Zhen didn’t continue on this topic and said,””Yesterday and today, the number of people who signed up to join the army exceeded 500000! Zhang Tao, how do you think we should handle this?

Also, the other countries are also putting pressure on us.

Some small countries were already in turmoil.

“They don’t have enough resources for the masses to cultivate. Previously, you seized a section of the mineral vein, and this time, you took down the Forbidden City’s underground cave …

All the countries felt that since China had taken the initiative to disclose the news, they had to bear the responsibility.

We must share our resources …”

“Share my ass!”

Zhang Tao cursed and said in a bad mood,””Who told you that? Who said that? don’t you know that you should kill him with a sword? How did we get our resources? we fought for them!

“In the past two years, how many high-ranked martial artists have Sino nation lost in battle?

Tell them to cut the crap!

“If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll lead the elites of Sino nation to join the catacombs. I’d like to see who will die in the end!

All of you are not putting in any effort and are living for me?

Is it really my responsibility alone?

“Those useless things, if they still don’t put in any effort, they might as well let the catacombs break through earth. Forget about other things in China, if we join forces with Heavenly King Zhen, it won’t be difficult to save some people’s lives!

We have the capital, but do they?

All of you still dare to clamor at me all day long. Don’t provoke me, I’ve been extremely impatient these years!

Tell the other five sacred lands to start a war soon!

If they were really lacking in strength, China could send some people to help, but they had to be the main force. If they obtained resources, they would split the profits 30 – 70. China wanted 30%, which was not too much!

“Also, give them a warning. If they continue to play dead, I’ll let Fang ping go and harm them. Do you believe I won’t do that?”

“……”

Li Zhen was stunned for a long time. These words … Had a deep meaning. How to harm?

As if he knew what he was thinking, Zhang Tao smiled and said,””It’s such a simple matter. Let that kid go around the catacombs, hide his aura, and blow up one or two imperial cities. These people can beat up their brains out!

Don’t force me, I don’t want them to participate in the battle, so I’ve been too lazy to care about them.

But now, he actually dared to ask for the sharing of resources … Did he really think that he was someone to be trifled with?

“Tell them my exact words. I can’t be bothered with them. They can do whatever they want. If they can ‘t, just make them surrender. I want to see if the catacombs will accept it and kill them!

If they surrender, I’ll go to the catacombs and fight guerrilla warfare. At most, I’ll go to the boundary or the forbidden Sea. Can you really kill me?”

“Your temper …”

Li Zhen was speechless. He said helplessly,”don’t be so irritable. They didn’t mean it that way. However, now that the news has been made public, China is still fine. The other places are indeed a little chaotic.

Everyone seeks strength to protect themselves, but the resources are severely lacking. ”

“It’s difficult for them, but it’s also difficult for us! All these years, he had only saved up some good things in the past two years, but they were also exchanged with his life. Could he give them to them? If you have the ability, then take it for yourself. It’s impossible for us to give it to them!”

“Then, the mineral veins in mcmau …”

“Don’t be silly! “You’re eyeing mcmau’s mineral veins, and the guys in mcmau are happy to do so? Would Fang ping be happy to do so? These guys are not doing it anymore. Do you have to Rob them in the future? Before these guys reached the peak, they were all living bandits. They could at least grab some and share some …

Don’t you understand the principle of killing a chicken but not taking its eggs?

‘Don’t worry, there will be more income later. Fang ping, that kid, can’t stay idle. Sooner or later, he’ll have to go out and make a fortune. Once he makes a fortune, something will definitely happen. ‘

If anything happens, charge him a protection fee …”

Li Zhen’s head ached and he said angrily, “We’re not an underground society!”

Zhang Tao’s mouth was full of black words, and he thought that he was from the underworld.

What “make a fortune,” what “protection fees,” are these words appropriate to come out of your mouth?

“No wonder martial arts universities have changed so much in recent years!

It’s all because of Zhang Tao, that old bastard!

“You can say whatever you want, aren’t you capable?” Zhang Tao said indifferently. There are still quite a few ore veins at Mount Yu Hai. Find some time and bring a few back. ”

“That’s the thousand Goblin Royal Court’s territory. You want to start a war with them?”

“Then I can’t do anything. You can’t get anything good on your own, and now you’re complaining that you don’t have enough resources. Other than training some bandits, what else could they do?

The military is almost like cats because of you. They’re Tigers, be more wild!

“If you have the chance, fight a few rounds and find some small ore veins for people to dig. There’s nothing you can do about the deaths of some people.”

Li Zhen was silent for a while and didn’t say anything.

Zhang Tao thought for a while and said,”don’t withdraw from Magic city’s military department. We’ll just put it under mcmau’s name and call it the mcmau Army!” “There are tens of thousands of people. They’ll belong to mcmau in the future. We’ll recruit another 50000 soldiers this year to make up an Army of 100000!

No matter what they called him, if the mcmau Legion did not like it, the Fang ping Legion would do too!

If he has to feed these 100000 people for me, he can do whatever he wants!

“Also, don’t be stuck at the first military school. Didn’t he want to merge?

“I’ll fulfill his wish. The first military school will belong to mcmau in the future, and I’ll still have to rely on him to support me!”

Li Zhen was stunned!

“You’re saying … Let mcmau take care of these people …”

“No, Fang ping will take care of it!”

“Is he willing to do so?”

“Nonsense! “He asked for it, and I didn’t force him. Didn’t he want to see mcmau become incomparably powerful? Didn’t you want to be on par with the three ministries and four residences? What’s the big deal? if he wants to do it, then he’ll raise it himself!”

“Where is he going to get so many resources to support these people …”

“People think of ways.”

Zhang Tao said with a smile,”this kid wants to snatch my position!” Alright, I’ll let him do it! I’ll throw the Wu an Army to him later, doesn’t he want power?

Didn’t he want his face?

Let’s see, the Wu an Army is close to 40000 martial artists, how is he going to raise them!”

Li Zhen suddenly felt a little sympathetic for Fang ping. He could not help but say, “It’s not appropriate for you to trick him like this, right?”

“What are you saying? did I force him?”

“He asked for it, didn’t he?” Zhang Tao chuckled. He wanted to poach people last time. Fine, I’ll get him to poach people later and get people to bring the Army to join him. Is he satisfied?

He really thought that the position of Minister was easy. How could it be that simple?

If he can’t support these people, he won’t even have the face to see anyone. Let’s see if he still dares to mention this matter in the future. ”

Li Zhen was silent for three seconds before he said,”what if we really feed them?”

“Cold! Then give it to him. I’m happy to have it easy. ”

“Is he no longer in closed-door cultivation?” Li Zhen asked again after a moment of silence.

“What?”

“Don’t hide it from me. Did you go out to get some benefits? Otherwise, why do you look like you’re about to get something good?”

Zhang Tao’s face turned serious. Nonsense, how could it be so obvious?

I’m having a headache!

How could he possibly think that there would be any benefits?

“Where did he go?”

Li Zhen asked again!

“Did he go to Magic City catacombs?” he asked, his face ashen. Was he the one who instigated this war?”

After thinking for a while, he suddenly said,”no, if he really ordered it, how could there be such a small movement?” I didn’t get many benefits, could it be … He went abroad?”

“Or did he go to the Tiannan catacombs? Are you preparing to go to the precinct?”

“No, I have to get someone to keep an eye on it …”

Zhang Tao coughed lightly and denied.”How could that be? he didn’t go to the boundary or the outer area. He’s wanted in the outer area. Would he dare to show his face?” Don’t worry, he’s still in closed-door cultivation. ”

Li Zhen felt that there was a deeper meaning to these words, so he didn’t think too much about it.

He was thinking in his heart, should he go to mcmau to take a look?

That kid was not a kind person!

His strength wasn’t that great, but his ability to cause trouble was really extraordinary.

There had been many wars in China recently. Although the losses were not too great, frequent wars were not good.

Very quickly, Zhang Tao changed the topic,”if we’re training our soldiers, the Forbidden City catacombs is more suitable!” “When it comes to military recruitment, if everyone still signs up despite knowing the dangers of the catacombs, that’s a sign of passion and patriotism!

Since they were not willing to wait for death and the extinction of mankind, he would give them a chance!

This time, they recruited a million soldiers!

It had only been two days, and so many people had signed up. A million was not a lot.

We’ve had some reserves over the years, but at this point, there’s no point in keeping them.

The pill company also had a lot of reserves, so they were open to use!

Continue to lower the price of basic medicinal pills!

Those who joined the Army were free!

At the very least, he had to cultivate these people into martial artists. As for the future … That would be up to them.

“This year, martial arts universities have recruited hundreds of thousands of people, and the military department has recruited a million. If all of them become martial artists, Sino nation’s martial artists can break through to a staggering four million!

This was the end of the world, but it was also a Golden Age!

The golden age of martial arts!”

Zhang Tao’s tone was complicated!

4 million martial artists!

In the past, he would not have dared to imagine this.

A hundred years ago, there were only ten thousand martial artists in Sino nation.

In a mere hundred years, this number had increased by 400 times!

Li Zhen also sighed. This was indeed a Golden Age. In the past thousand years, it was the era with the most martial artists. It was the most prosperous and most prosperous era!

It was also the era with the most powerhouses in the past thousand years!

The number of martial artists all over the world would soon reach ten million!

“There’s one more thing,”Zhang Tao continued in a low voice,” about the world of sects! “Previously, the sect world’s main forces have gathered around the central Prefecture to suppress the central Prefecture catacombs!

This time, Zhao xingwu had betrayed and fled. Without Zhao xingwu, the strength of the martial arts world had been greatly reduced!

“It’s not a long-term plan for Kong Lingyuan to take charge of the middle state. I’m going to tell those old fogeys that the world of sects needs to take charge of at least one catacombs. Otherwise, all resources will no longer be open to the world of sects!

“It doesn’t matter if they’re working together or hired. In short, they have to guard a catacombs for me!

Also, those resurrected warriors in Star Town City who didn’t come out last time, come out now!

Tell star suppression city that these people are martial artists of the martial arts world. Although the martial arts world is in decline, they don’t want to see it completely destroyed.

There are resources in Star Town City, but I’ve discussed with several families. They will withdraw from this plan and no longer provide resources.

If those families are still willing to provide resources, I don’t have any objections and will continue to support them!

Whether they could afford it or not, it was up to them!

In the end, it was still the same sentence as before. Do you want the cultivation technique or not? if you want it, then let someone come out to guard the catacombs. If you don’t want it, then continue to fight in the king Battle Ground!

Li Zhen, I’m warning you, if you dare to spread this cultivation technique, I won’t be polite to you!”

After saying that, Zhang Tao mumbled again,”is there really no cultivation method for brain nucleus in Star Town City?” Not even the Heavenly King? If not, how did these people cultivate to the peak back then?”

“If the patriarch says there’s no such thing, then there’s a high chance that there’s no such thing. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have hidden this,” Li Zhen said in a deep voice.

“Then tell me, how did they cultivate to the peak? And they’re from the same era!”

“Perhaps … They were the absolute peak to begin with,” Li Zhen said slowly after a moment of silence.

“What?”

“You mean …” Zhang Tao’s pupils contracted as he said in a low voice.

“Resurrection! It’s a resurrection in another sense!”

Li Zhen’s spirit energy fluctuated violently as he said in a deep voice, “It’s not the kind of death, but a deep sleep! Or the kind that was resurrected with a drop of blood, losing all their memories and being resurrected!

The great ancestors themselves might not even know how they became paragons!

Otherwise, the patriarchs wouldn’t have been so stuck in this situation for hundreds of years!

The patriarchs weren’t actually that strong because they might lack some past experiences. They weren’t too clear about how they entered the absolute peak.

Nan yunyue had just broken through. The Chen and Shen patriarchs were probably not as strong as her.

It didn’t make sense that the peak of the new martial era must be stronger than the patriarchs!

“If they don’t know how they reached the peak in the past, then it makes sense. They’ve already forgotten how they stepped onto this path. After hundreds of years, they’ve been similar to us, starting over again together.

The higher one stood, the harder it was to start over!

“Among these people, my family’s patriarch and the battle King have already understood their own Dao paths, but the others might not have.

Zhang Tao, what do you think?”

“It’s possible!”

Zhang Tao’s eyes turned and he muttered,”resurrected … Resurrected by someone!” That might really be the case. The Wargod, that old fogey, had chatted with me a few times. When I asked him about the past, he had been very silent. He probably felt depressed as well, as he probably didn’t know much about it.

It was a big move. So many paragons … Were they all resurrected?

Forget it, let’s not care about them for the time being!

It’s quite possible. That old fellow, Wargod, might be old, but I feel that he’s very simple-minded and probably hasn’t seen much of the world. It’s possible that he’ll start guarding Mount Royal sea the moment he reincarnates.

Otherwise, how could a person who is hundreds or thousands of years old be so innocent and still have the heart to care about so many generations of descendants?”

Those at the top of the mountain in Star Town City valued and pampered their descendants.

Otherwise, he would not have let them go out to train only after they had reached rank-6.

If he was really an old ghost who had lived for thousands of years, he would not have so many feelings now, let alone completely obliterated.

As Zhang Tao changed the topic, the two of them talked about paragons. As for Fang ping … Li Zhen had temporarily forgotten about him.

Old Zhang had said that Fang ping had not entered the catacombs. He probably had not.

As for Zhang Tao’s claim that he had not entered the outer domain or the boundary lands, nonsense. Where else could Fang ping go other than these places?

Could it be that he had crossed the Royal Sea Mountain and entered the restricted area?

Or did he go to the forbidden Sea?

Are you looking for death?

Li Zhen didn’t even think about this at this moment.

……

Magic City catacombs.

Very quickly, Fang ping had obtained the energy liquid.

After getting the energy fluid, Fang ping immediately closed the door and started his closed-door training.

Midnight.

A wave of aura came from the backyard.

Fang ping, who had the aura of a middle-stage rank-6, had instantly become an upper-stage rank-6.

The Sanjiao gate flashed and disappeared in an instant. It was extremely fast and soon disappeared.

On the other hand, Fang ping had just broken through when many mentality probes came over.

In the city Lord’s mansion.

City Lord monster sunflower was slightly surprised. Kui Ming had broken through?

However, when he saw that fellow wrap himself in the life fluid, city Lord monster sunflower couldn’t help but curse inwardly. How did kui Luo raise such a son?

His son had wasted so many years of savings?

Energy could only be said to be an auxiliary factor in a rank-6 breakthrough. It was not a decisive factor. The fact that kui Ming could break through meant that he was not too far away from upper-stage rank-6.

After a few months of training, he might naturally break through.

It would be a real waste to waste so much energy liquid now.

Still, city Lord monster sunflower could understand the kid’s anxiety as he thought about how he was about to enter the restricted zone. As for kui Luo, he had been stuck at rank-eight for many years and had no hope of breaking through in the short term. So what if it was a waste?

City Lord monster sunflower wasn’t the only one who sensed it. Kui Luo, who was recuperating in the courtyard, also sensed it!

Instantly, he felt extremely gratified!

His son had broken through!

His son had only been in the middle stage of the battle general level for slightly more than a year, and he had advanced so quickly. It seemed that his son had gained something from his attack on the Supreme-being today.

Kui Luo was so gratified that he even had the heart to leave his seclusion to show his concern for his son.

However, his injuries weren’t light, and the sword Qi hadn’t dissipated. After thinking for a while, he gave up on this idea. He knew that it was fine as long as his son had a breakthrough.

Upper-stage battle general!

When he reached the peak, he would consume some sunflower fruits and quickly reach the quasi-commander realm. Perhaps in a few years, his son would be able to enter the commander realm!

There were many opportunities in the penalty area.

After three to five years, he would have a chance to reach the same realm as him.

With that thought in mind, sunflower felt that his injuries were no longer a big deal. He was truly gratified.

City Lord Yao kui and kui Luo sensed it, and Feng miesheng and the others were no exception. After all, they were all in the city Lord’s mansion.

Sensing Fang Ping’s breakthrough, Feng miesheng’s brows raised slightly.

That was fast!

In that case, the commander realm wasn’t too far away.

If he could send the other party to the king Battle Ground, he might be able to enter the commander realm in a few months!

At the commander level, they were no longer dispensable.

“Seven Southern Territory really has a genius. This kuiming doesn’t seem to be that old, he’s not even 30 years old, right?”

Such a thought rose in Feng miesheng’s heart. In the outer region, it was not simple to have such an achievement before the age of 30!

He only had a Supreme realm father. There were many descendants of true monarchs in the Forbidden Zone.

Just looking at his cultivation level was nothing, but the other party dared to wave his saber at a venerable. This was courage and boldness. To injure the other party, his strength was even greater, and his talent was outstanding!

At this moment, Feng miesheng had some thoughts. Maybe he should fight for it. Li an wanted to recruit this kid, so he couldn’t let him go.

Last time at the king Battle Ground, those geniuses he subdued were all dead!

As for the group of people that Feng Qing had left behind, there was some estrangement between them.

He still had to cultivate his own team!

……

These people were scheming.

On the other hand, Fang ping sealed up the remaining energy liquid. Over 10000 catties of energy stones had been exchanged for nearly 2000 catties of energy liquid.

Fang Ping’s “breakthrough” had cost him about 300 catties … Although it seemed terrifying, it was normal for him to consume a lot of energy during a rapid breakthrough.

As for where the 300 catties went, it naturally fell into the medium.

Walking out of the room, Fang ping looked at the data while receiving the congratulations from everyone in the mansion.

The young commander entering the upper stage of battle general was indeed worth celebrating.

Fang ping, on the other hand, said generously, “There’s quite a lot of life fluid left. I’ll enter the restricted area and bring some for cultivation and some for managing!

I’m about to leave, and my father is still in the residence. In the future, you all have to do more for my father!

I’ll reward all of you with these. Cultivate more and I hope that when I return, there will be a new commander under my father!”

Fang ping casually tossed some energy liquid to a few rank-6 martial artists in the residence. These people were so excited that they knelt down one after another, shouting,”Many thanks, young commander!”

“We will not let you down, young commander. We are willing to die for you, Grand Commander!”

Fang ping said loudly,”my father is injured. If there’s another battle, I hope the city martial artists will attack again. Please help! When you return the next day, kuiming will definitely repay you!”

“I will definitely die!”

These martial artists were also extremely excited. In the catacombs, it was rare for a superior to treat a subordinate so well.

This was the life fluid!

Usually, it was difficult for them to even obtain a few life stones. The young commander was actually going to leave this time and spent so much money. Everyone was stunned.

In the distance, at kui Luo’s closed-door cultivation.

Fang Ping’s voice was too loud, and it traveled in.

Kui Luo’s expression was extremely complicated. His son was still thinking about him before he left. He didn’t know if there would be any danger in going to the Forbidden Zone.

“It’s a pity that I’m only in the Supreme realm … Ming ‘er, live well!”

Kui Luo muttered to himself. As for the benefits his son had given to the martial artists in the manor, he didn’t care too much. This was his son’s filial piety.

In the mansion, Fang ping glanced at the place where kui Luo was in seclusion out of the corner of his eye.

I’ve made it clear to you that the items are to be taken to the restricted area for cultivation and to be sorted out. I’ve also rewarded the Warriors under my command. The treasure vault is empty, so don’t misunderstand.

After he was done, the corners of Fang Ping’s lips lifted. He was rich!

[Wealth: 360 million points]

[Vitality: 64200Cal (64299Cal)

[Mentality: 3310Hz (3370Hz)

[Power of destruction: 24 Yuan (24 Yuan)]

[Bones honed: 206 pieces (100%)]

[Storage space: 1000 cubic meters (+)]

[Energy barrier: 1 point/minute (+)]

[Aura simulation: 10 points/minute (+)]

It had increased by about 310 million points!

Exchanging energy stones for energy liquid required quite a lot of fees. After all, this required the help of high-ranked powerhouses, and it was also a laborious thing.

Even so, after conversion, it had increased by so much. Fang ping was still overjoyed.

Now, he didn’t have to worry about not having enough wealth!

Before this, Fang ping had been a little worried. It was only 40 million points.

If the House of Gold was destroyed, it would cost tens of millions.

In a battle, replenishing the imperishable substance once would cost hundreds of thousands.

Tens of millions were really not enough.

“Great, now I’m more confident in entering the catacombs.

Fang ping grinned. He was even more calculating in his heart. Should he think of a way to quickly enter peak rank-6 again, using the excuse of swallowing sunflower seeds, and then quickly enter the commander realm?

“Only rank-7 powerhouses are considered powerhouses in the catacombs.

“Otherwise, middle-ranked martial artists will just be a bystander in the restricted area.

“Everything’s ready, all that’s left is the crucial wind!”

Fang ping felt very comfortable and did not stop. At this moment, he still had close to 1500 catties of energy liquid in his hands.

When I see li an and the others tomorrow … I’ll give Feng miesheng 500 pounds!

He didn’t believe that these people didn’t care about this.

Kui Luo’s hundred-year-old accumulation was a rank-8 powerhouse, after all. Did Feng miesheng and the others have that much?

“I’ll give it to you first … When I’m leaving, I’ll kill you and get it back! You still have to collect interest!”

Fang ping was also someone who was willing to invest. He would use the benefits to pave the way first. In this day and age, who would help you if you did not spend money?

Even old Zhang was like this, and the catacombs were even more so.
