Chapter 1 Killer
Jiangzhou.
It was the plum rain season, and the drizzle continued.
It was late at night, but the largest brothel in Jiangzhou City, Liuxian Pavilion, was still bustling.
The smell of powder mixed with the aroma of wine, plus the sound of stringed instruments and the whispers of beauties, it can be said that: the immortals came and were drunk, not knowing that this was the human world.
In the restaurant opposite Liuxian Pavilion, a young man was watching every move at the door of Liuxian Pavilion motionlessly.
The young man was thin, but his eyes were like lightning, as if he wanted to see through this fairyland on earth. He was dressed in black and had a wooden hairpin on his head, simple and ordinary.
As the night deepened, the corners of the young man's mouth slightly curled up, and he drank a sip of the already cold strong tea.
In less than half an hour, a fight was about to begin, and then the two hundred taels would be in his pocket again.
"Open the panel." The young man's consciousness sank.

…
After closing the panel, Zhao Jue twisted his neck twice. As long as this deal was done, he could enter the eighth rank no matter how bad it was.
That's right, Zhao Jue is not from this world. Two years ago, Zhao Jue's hometown was demolished, and he got a house plus nearly five million, which was really a overnight wealth. When people get rich, they will indulge themselves, and Zhao Jue is no exception. He drank all night and couldn't avoid it, so he was sent to the sky by a four-wheel drive car. When he opened his eyes again, he came to this world.
After waking up, Zhao Jue found that this world was not simple. Although it was very similar to ancient China, on the third day of coming to this world, he saw someone flying over a river dozens of meters wide with just two toes. In his impression, there was really no such master in the five thousand years of Chinese history. It goes without saying: a world of high martial arts.
It was on that day that Zhao awakened the system. Otherwise, with his useless body that would vomit twice after running a thousand meters, he would have no chance of survival in this world. He would have to do it again.
The rules of the system are very simple. One tael of silver is worth ten God of Wealth points. God of Wealth points can be used to buy various things in the system mall, such as skills, weapons, poisons, etc. Five special items will be refreshed every day, but there is no scientific research that transcends the times, so AK47 cannot be bought.
However, the system has a special recognition function: the silver exchanged for God of Wealth points must be the reward for labor. Stealing, robbery, and corruption are all not allowed.
Based on this unchangeable premise, Zhao carefully calculated and finally had only three ways:
Being an official, doing business, and farming.
Farming is ruled out first. Not to mention that you can't make much money from working so hard, Zhao doesn't have any farmland.
Being an official is even more impossible. The power in the court is complicated and chaotic, and the party and government are constantly changing. This kind of tangled relationship cannot be dealt with. If you have this ability, you can't get rich by demolition. And the most important thing is: Zhao can't pass the imperial examination. The imperial examination in this world is so difficult. The Four Books and Five Classics are like heavenly books. Every word is known, but they become strangers when connected together.
In summary, Zhao can only do business.
The year when he just crossed over, Zhao did the restaurant business. Not only did he get benefits from various local officials under various excuses, but his competitors also made trouble every day. Not only did he not make much money, but he was also exhausted.
Since then, Zhao has learned his lesson. It is still simple to do business without capital and make money quickly. As long as others are in trouble, in need, and willing to pay, Zhao must be obliged.
Of course, 99% of people are hired to kill people, and there are only one or two who are not, or escorting stolen silver into Beijing.
I still remember the first time I did this business. It was accidental. A poor young lady was forced to be a concubine by a butcher who sold meat. The young lady was definitely unwilling, so she found Zhao Jue, who was a city surveyor at the time, commonly known as a street scoundrel.
That day, the sun was warm and the breeze was gentle, lifting the girl's skirt. Her long legs, her big thunder, and the twenty taels of silver were white and tender. The boy's thoughts seemed to return to that small room.
Please tell me again~
The girl holding the box and the man wiping sweat.
Zhao Jue had no reason to refuse. The heaviness of life trampled on the young boy's tender waist.
That night, Li Shi followed the drunken butcher and strangled his neck with a rope from behind until the butcher stopped moving.
The next day, Zhao Jue heard the relevant news. He didn't expect that the butcher was strangled by himself and woke up soon, but because of drunkenness, he didn't keep his footing and fell into the river. It happened that the butcher was a complete landlubber. In this way, one coincidence after another, the butcher actually drowned in the river.
Fortunately, the girl didn't understand and thought it was Zhao who did it, so she paid the bill according to the amount.
This incident gave Zhao a great sense of humiliation, just like an impotent man watching his wife bring a baby home. It was from that day that Zhao vowed to do a good job in this business, and this kind of thing must never happen again.
It was also after this incident that the system unlocked the novice gift package: a space of about 200 square meters; perfect light skill chasing stars and catching the moon. The disguise technique, turtle breathing technique and Tangmen double skills were all bought at the special discount mall with the God of Wealth points exchanged for twenty taels.
Since then, Zhao has devoted himself to studying assassination techniques and constantly correcting mistakes in practice. Make full use of his own advantages and various techniques in the book of the future market, and formulate different services according to different service objects, to ensure that customers are assured, service objects are at ease, and colleagues are careful.
So in a year of practice, he gradually formed his own system: using carrier pigeons to receive orders, then changing his appearance to meet with customers, obtaining target information and deposits, and then through his own personal observation, formulating service plans, completing tasks, and finally settling accounts to collect the balance.
Thanks to this process, Zhao not only earned enough silver to buy the Taiqing Yuxu Sutra, but also relied on the system mall to upgrade the Taiqing Yuxu Sutra to the second level. At the same time, his own cultivation level was also assisted by the system's elixir, and he successfully entered the ninth grade, which was considered to be the door to martial arts.
It was also during this year that he learned from his wanderings that the martial arts in this world are divided into nine grades, taking the Taoist nine as the extreme number.
With his thoughts withdrawn, Zhao still stared at the entrance of Liuxian Tower motionlessly.
It was not until after midnight that a short and fat man in gorgeous clothes came out drunkenly hugging two people without a partner, and a carriage driver jumped down from the carriage next to him and helped the man onto the carriage.
This short and fat man was Zhao's target this time: the fifth young master of the Wu family, Wu Xin.
The five sons of the Wu family were born with loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, righteousness and trustworthiness as their life motto, and Wu Xin was the youngest son.
Zhao felt contempt in his heart, no loyalty, no filial piety, no courtesy, no righteousness, no trustworthiness, none of these five people had a good name.
Seeing the carriage start, Zhao jumped down from the restaurant and followed the carriage in the dark.
Two hundred taels, here I come.
Hehehehe...
