Chapter 76 Those who are good at water often drown
"Assassinate Xu Shouyi?" Wu Yuan's eyes passed by calmly: "The reward is one hundred thousand taels of silver?"
This is the top reward for the three-star mission!
Obviously, it is not how difficult it is to assassinate Xu Shouyi, but the more important thing is to meet the anger of the Hengyun Sect after the assassination.
Just like assassinating the governor of Nanmeng Mansion, the reward for the task is a full one million taels of silver!
Fu Yin himself is only a second-rate master.
Even with the personal protection of top-notch experts, the difficulty and reward of the assassination are not directly proportional.
Such a huge reward not only represents themselves, but also represents the deterrent power of the 'Hengyun Sect' behind them, making people dare not move lightly.
"However, there are no additional requirements. Does that mean direct assassination or poisoning is acceptable?" This thought passed through Wu Yuan's mind.
For example, several of the leaders of the Blood Wolf Assassination Gang requested to take their heads back.
There is no such requirement for killing Fu Yin and Xu Shouyi.
Obviously, the mission of the Blood Wolf Gang is specifically requested by the 'employer' behind it, and there is a high probability that there will be a big grudge.
"Qianshan, what are your thoughts on these two four-star missions?" Master Qing asked softly.
"Lord, just assassinate Fu Yin."
Wu Yuan shook his head slightly: "Once exposed, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the entire Jiangzhou area."
Normally speaking, if you want to assassinate a governor, even if you leave the territory of the Hengyun Sect, as long as you don't escape very far away, once the Hengyun Sect receives the news, they will send experts to take revenge.
Any major force will do this.
Otherwise, how to frighten Sifang Xiaoxiao?
"Master, why don't you arrange for someone to poison you? It will be easier," Wu Yuan said.
"Poison?" Master Qing was dumbfounded.
If poisoning was so easy, would they still wait until today?
"The difficulty and risk of assassinating Fu Yin are indeed extremely high." Master Qing changed the topic: "What about the other task? Qianshan is willing to give it a try?"
The other one naturally refers to the assassination of Blood Wolf Wu Shan.
"If the assassination fails, is there any punishment?" Wu Yuan asked.
"There is not much punishment." Master Qing said: "If you fail to accept the mission, a certain amount of star points will be deducted."
"Star point?" Wu Yuan was stunned.
"Every time you complete a task, you will get different star points." Master Qing said with a smile: "When the star points reach a certain level, you can be promoted to a higher-star assassin and gain more permissions."
Wu Yuan was stunned.
"For example, it takes 20,000 star points to upgrade from a three-star assassin to a four-star assassin." Master Qing said: "And for each four-star task, once completed, you will receive 10,000 star points; for completing a three-star task, you will receive 2,000 star points.
Star point.”
Wu Yuan nodded slightly. No wonder Lord Qing said that as long as he completes one more four-star task, he can be promoted to a four-star assassin.
Think about it again.
If a second-rate master wants to be promoted to a four-star master, he has to complete ten three-star tasks?
It’s equivalent to walking on the edge of life and death ten times!
How difficult it is to survive!
"Once it fails, 10% of the task reward star points will be deducted, which is one thousand star points." Master Qing said.
"Master, I understand. I have accepted the mission to assassinate Blood Wolf Wu Shan." Wu Yuan said calmly: "However, I want to take on another three-star mission at the same time."
"Three-star mission? What mission?" Qing Louzhu was stunned.
"This." Wu Yuan's fingertips fell on the task book.
"Kill the general guarding Licheng County?" Master Qing glanced at him.
He immediately frowned: "Qianshan, you have to think carefully. Xu Shouyi's strength is average. It's not difficult for you to assassinate him. But his master is the 'elder' of the Hengyun Sect. Once he is exposed, he will be in trouble."
The revenge that comes will not be small."
"His master?" A cold light flashed across Wu Yuan's eyes.
No wonder!
No wonder Xu Shouyi is so confident that he dares to interfere in local political power. The elder of the Hengyun Sect is not the elder of the Wu clan. At least he must be a top expert.
"It doesn't matter, it's just him."
Wu Yuan seemed to say casually: "If the assassination of Wu Shan fails, I happen to be planning to go to Yuanhu Mansion. It's a convenient thing."
"Okay." Master Qing nodded.
Assassinate a county general?
Although there is some trouble, how can we be afraid of the assassins who are all so bold? The Seven Star Tower is not afraid either!
Historically, they dared to assassinate even the Grand Master of the Earth Ranking.
"I'll go get the corresponding files." Master Qing said, "Wait a moment."
Only a quarter of an hour later.
Deacon Qin and Master Qing returned to the room together.
"Qianshan, this is the treasure you want, and here is the banknote." Deacon Qin handed the things over: "You can check one or two."
"I can rest assured that the deacon is doing his job." Wu Yuan said calmly: "There is no need to check."
examine?
Wu Yuan had never seen either Qi Yi Dan or Starlight Liquid, and even if he checked, he couldn't find anything.
As for the banknote? Wu Yuan believed that the other party would not fake it.
Soon, Wu Yuan put away the three jade bottles and a stack of banknotes.
"Qianshan, here are the 'copies' of the files for the two tasks." Master Qing handed it over: "You can take this copy with you."
Wu Yuan accepted the file.
"Here, there is also a book. In addition to recording the rights and requirements of being a member of the Seven Star Building, it also records the strongholds of the subordinate counties of our Nanmeng Mansion branch." Master Qing said again: "Go there.
After that, you can go directly to these strongholds to accept missions with four stars or less and receive rewards with four stars or less."
"Understood." Wu Yuan took it.
He was curious and read through it a little.
Except for the stronghold location of Nanmeng Mansion, which is recorded in more detail, each county has one marked location.
The other fifteen prefectures in Jiangzhou? Each prefecture has only one stronghold recorded.
Obviously, Wu Yuan, as a three-star assassin and only a member of the outer building, does not have high authority and is far from going deep into the interior of the seven-star building.
"Remember, after writing everything down, be sure to burn it." Building Master Qing reminded: "Once exposed, your identity as a Seven-Star Building will most likely be exposed as well."
"Thank you, Master, for the tip." Wu Yuan said solemnly.
The two sides chatted for a while.
Immediately, leave.
…
"Master, Qianshan has already left. His speed was too fast, and the 'Nine Shadows' only followed half of the street. They were forced to return for fear of being discovered." Deacon Qin hurriedly returned to the secret room to report.
"Come on, such a master is beyond our control." Master Qing said softly: "Go and collect information immediately. Tomorrow, I want to know the detailed process of Qianshan's assassination in Zuiyueju."
"In this way, we can determine his true strength."
"Yes." Deacon Qin said, "I'll give the order right away."
"Owner."
Deacon Qin hesitated: "Do you think he can kill the blood wolf Wu Shan?"
"It's hard to say." Master Qing shook his head slightly: "Blood Wolf Wu Shan is a master at the same level as Iron Tower Dragon II. He is not an idiot. The leaders under his command have died one after another, so he will definitely be aware of it."
"Unless Qian Shan took advantage of the news before it spread, Wu Shan was not alert and rushed to assassinate him immediately."
"Otherwise, it will be very difficult for the news to spread."
"It's just that we have no choice. In the Nanmeng Mansion, if the Hengyun Sect doesn't move, there are only a few masters who can kill the Blood Wolf Wushan." Master Qing shook his head slightly.
Deacon Qin nodded.
If the Hengyun Sect wants to take action, it will be easy.
It's a pity that behind the Blood Wolf Wu Shan, there is probably a big shot at the top of the Hengyun Sect.
"In addition, regarding the assassination of Fu Yin, you should prepare the 'third alternative plan'." Master Qing's voice was filled with coldness.
"The third plan?" Deacon Qin was shocked and couldn't help but said: "Master, the probability of exposure is too high."
"I don't want to either."
"But if he doesn't die, if we can't complete the minimum task target, my position as the host will not be guaranteed." Host Qing shook his head and said: "Will you three deacons be able to live well?"
Deacon Qin was silent.
How can they feel free and worry-free if they are outsiders and control a large amount of resources in the building?
Although Qixing Tower is relatively peaceful compared to Jiu Sha Mansion, in the final analysis, it is a dark organization and its internal rule is very bloody.
…
"This poster must have important reasons for being so eager to complete the four-star mission."
"But what does it have to do with me?"
"He doesn't dare to go himself. He wants to use me as a spearman and let me fight against the blood wolf Wu Shan?" Wu Yuan's eyes were cold and he flew into the darkness.
Walked through the streets.
From beginning to end, Wu Yuan had no intention of fighting the blood wolf Wu Shan.
After fighting against Iron Tower Dragon Er, he already had a rough idea of the strength of more than 100 people on the list.
Not everyone is easy to mess with!
Even if Blood Wolf Wu Shan is weaker, the gap will not be too big. If Wu Yuan is to assassinate him now, he has at most an 80% chance of winning.
The odds of winning seem very high.
"But the resources I have obtained now are enough for me to practice for a long time, so why take any more risks?" Wu Yuan thought clearly.
Not to mention the 20% risk of death, Wu Yuan would not go even if it was 10%.
Taking risks, grinding and fighting are just ways to obtain cultivation resources!
Simply seeking stability will not work, and progress will become slower and slower.
But blind pursuit of profit is also fatal, and the probability of death will be greatly increased, even if you can win by chance.
What about twice?
What about three times?
If you often walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet?
Those who are good at water often drown! The best way is not to be careful when walking by the river, but to avoid going to the river as much as possible.
Why did Wu Yuan take over the mission again?
"If you don't agree, will this Master Qing be so willing to deliver the treasure?" Wu Yuan smiled coldly: "If you can't do it, find a reason to fool me and make me wait for a while."
This is the reason why Wu Yuan wants to replace all the rewards.
He doesn't care at all about Qianshan's identity as an assassin.
The worst thing is, next time I use Yi Gu, I will change to the Seven Star Tower in the state capital and create a new assassin identity of 'Wan Shan'.
"But, Xu Shouyi, don't run away." Wu Yuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The reason why he didn't go back with revenge was because Wu Yuan felt that he was not strong enough and was not absolutely sure!
Now?
It's time to avenge the clan.
…
Keep going.
Wu Yuan threw away the clothes he used to disguise himself and put on the clothes he had hidden in a big tree.
Taking the treasures and a few files, he quietly entered the martial arts academy.
Tonight, due to the incident of 'Drunken Moon Residence', half of the city was shaken, but Nanmeng Martial Arts Academy was not affected, and there was no sound in the courtyard late at night.
finally.
Wu Yuan floated back to the martial arts room on the second floor through the ajar window, and checked the 'hair alert' at the door to confirm it was correct.
I just felt completely relieved.
He sat cross-legged and calmly sensed his surroundings.
In ancient times, it is still on the first floor.
Gu Ji had no idea how much Wu Yuan had done that night!
"Let's see how much we gained tonight." Wu Yuan took out the banknotes and treasures he had obtained.
Take inventory quickly.
Including the rewards, gold tickets, and silver tickets from the Seven Star Tower, I received a total of about 45,000 taels.
"No wonder so many warriors are willing to become land and water thieves, killers, and plunderers. It is indeed a way to make quick money." Wu Yuan sighed sincerely.
The risk is high.
But once you succeed, the income will be terrifyingly high!
The tens of thousands of taels of silver harvested were only secondary.
What is even more valuable is the exchange of forty Qi Replenishing Pills, ten drops of Starlight Liquid, plus the original seven hundred middle-grade Bone Forging Pills.
"These things are enough to support my cultivation for a long time." Wu Yuan smiled slightly.
Put away all these things, leaving only a bottle of Yiqi Pill in front of you.
Close your eyes.
"There's still about an hour before dawn. It's time to try to see how much blood-colored mist my body can absorb." Wu Yuan's heart was filled with anticipation.
Consciousness gathers in the Upper Dantian Palace.
In the vast mysterious space, there is a large amount of blood-colored mist surrounding the black tower. In terms of total amount, it is no worse than last time, or even more.
"Last time, in addition to killing Luo Fu, there were also some other assassins."
"And this time, the number of killings is actually less, but the total amount is more." Wu Yuan secretly said: "Could it be said that the amount of blood mist is related to the strength of the enemies I killed?"
The sample is too small, so it can only be a guess.
"I don't want to think about it anymore, let's practice first." Wu Yuan's consciousness guided him, and wisps of blood-colored mist quickly followed the three Dantian palaces and gradually integrated into his body.
