The effect of Drunken Fist was unexpectedly good. The problem now was how to increase the level of Drunken Fist.
The system only gave a hint that he could level up, but it did not point out the way to level up.
After sparring with everyone, Drunken Fist's level was still LV1, and his EXP was still at 1/1000.
Cao Fei had no clue at the moment.
Just as Cao Fei was deep in thought, Li Quan and Zhou Zunfeng, whom he had taken as his confidants, appeared in the courtyard of Cao Fei's dormitory.
"Chief…"
The two of them stood beside Cao Fei, one after the other. Li Quan was the one who couldn't keep his cool. His face was filled with joy, as if he had encountered some great news.
"Aiya, Chief Cao, it's a pity that you left early just now and didn't notice the county magistrate who was watching the battle.”Li Quan was the first to shout, loudly praising Cao Fei.
"That county magistrate was also impressed by Governor Cao's performance just now and called him a true warrior.”
"Hehe, is that so?"
Cao Fei turned around and glanced at the two of them. He saw that Li Quan's face was flushed red and his cheeks were trembling irregularly. He could not suppress the laughter on both sides.
His entire person revealed an intimate posture of glory.
Cao Fei pretended to be humble and replied, not showing a trace of pride.
After being seen by the two of them, the image of a capable, neither arrogant nor impatient city head instantly stood up.
Cao Fei was still thinking about his previous plan. He instructed the two of them,""Li Quan can bring some people to threaten that Granny Wang from Purple Stone Street. You have to make it look good. Tell her that I have my own use for investigating Sun Xiao 'er's murder.”
"Here!"
After Li Quan received the order, he bowed respectfully and went out to work.
As for Zhou Zunfeng, he waited until there was no one else present before he quietly took two steps forward and whispered something to Cao Fei. The latter asked in surprise,"Really?"
Zhou Zunfeng nodded heavily.
"You should be careful with this matter. I have great use for it later.”
The two of them were the earliest subordinates that Cao Fei had taken in as his confidants. Previously, they had the bad habit of being half-obedient and half-disobedient. After witnessing Cao Fei's heroic performance today, they were praised by the magistrate.
Her enthusiasm for work immediately increased by a few beats, and half of her heart gradually fell towards Cao Fei.
As for the other half of his heart, he would only truly take it back after some time had passed and the two of them had tasted some benefits.
What Zhou Zunfeng had whispered to him earlier was a piece of information related to Xi Men Qing.
Sometimes, choosing a side to stand on and expressing loyalty were similar to reincarnating. They were all technical tasks.
After waving his hand to get Zhou Zunfeng to make the arrangements, Cao Fei fell into deep thought again.
Right now, between him and Ximen Qing, who was stronger?
This was a strong opponent that had to be eliminated.
He had the identity of the governor, the reputation of beating up tigers, and the conditions of being a prophet.
On the other hand, the other party had a wide network of friends, was good at using money, had connections in all directions, and had the advantage of being local.
In Yanggu County, he was considered a standard wealthy dog.
At present, it seemed that both sides had their own strengths. If one were to compare them, they were evenly matched.
This was from the surface.
If he wanted to increase his chances of winning, he had to borrow the power of the county magistrate.
It would be best to obtain the support of the county magistrate.
At the very least, it was a tacit support.
Up until now, the magistrate had treated him with courtesy, and he was still polite on the surface.
In the eyes of outsiders, Cao Fei was one of his own people whom he had promoted with all his strength. However, in reality, he was far from being one of his own.
Time was not on his side.
At the same time, a sense of danger welled up in his heart.
If he and Ximen Qing were to really fight at this moment, to the point where one of them had to die, which side would the county magistrate stand on?
It was most likely Ximen Qing.
There was no doubt about this.
"Looks like we have to increase our bargaining chips!”
Cao Fei poured out the water in the basin, dried the towel, and slowly walked in the courtyard.
First, he had to increase his status in the county magistrate's eyes.
In layman's terms, it was hugging a thigh.
The way to curry favor with the county magistrate was nothing more than 'doing things well and not dragging him down. It would be best if it could help him get promoted and make a fortune.' Everyone knew this answer, but most people were basically blind as to how to do it.
He knocked his head hard, as if he had just grasped something important, but he could not remember it for a moment.
"It's too difficult to be promoted.”
"I got it…"
Cao Fei's eyes sparkled, as if he was constantly extracting the silk from a cocoon in a mystery. He had vaguely grasped the most crucial clue.
"If that's the case, we can do something about it.”
Other than these important factors from the upper echelons, there was also the most direct competition of martial strength between the two sides.
In the original novel, Ximen Qing and Wu Song fought back and forth in the restaurant until Wu Song used the Drunken Fist to kill Ximen Qing in one fell swoop.
From this point, it could be analyzed.
Xi Men Qing's martial strength was higher than an ordinary person, but lower than Wu Song, who knew Drunken Fist.
Xi Men Qing should have received training in this area as well.
However, this fellow had been indulging in wine and sex all year round and did not know how to control himself. It was nonsense to say how much combat power he had.
Although he could stimulate drunkenness and use the Drunken Fist, he was not familiar enough. To be sure, it was best to strengthen the Drunken Fist first.
How to strengthen it?
Naturally, he had leveled up.
Currently, the system notification stated that his Drunken Fist was still lvl 1.
How to level up?
Cao Fei was at a loss again.
Previously, he did not gain any experience points from sparring with the county government runner because they were colleagues and not bad people.
If that was the case…before facing Ximen Qing head-on, he still needed to clear some dungeons to raise the level of Drunken Fist.
As for Ximen Qing, he would let this fellow be carefree for a few days.
There was still some time before the final battle.
"It seems that I need to take a leave of absence from the county magistrate in a few days and go out.”
