A month has passed in the blink of an eye. This month, Lin Mo has been practicing hard at home in a simple and in-depth way. Today, he finally reached the fourth level of physical training. This speed is neither too slow nor too fast. He looked at the remaining five Guyuan Pills.
"The level of drug taking and martial arts practice should be almost reaching the limit. It's time to go out for a walk. I don't know much about the specific information around me. My predecessor, Lin Mo, was really a two-pointer. Apart from playing around all day, he only knew some basic information.
Regarding the Jianghu matters, you still have to rely on yourself to inquire about the details." Lin Mo changed into a clean scholar's outfit and went to Jinyang City.
Although Jinyang City is called a city, it is not very big. After arriving at the largest restaurant in the city, I sat down in the corner of the second floor. This place is suitable for inquiring about information without attracting too much attention. I still have four left on me.
Two silver dollars is enough to go out to eat, but the problem is that there should be no extra expenses. In fact, it is best to go to Tianji Mansion to buy information. Even in such a small town, there is a branch of Tianji Mansion, but it is too expensive to inquire about information.
Lin Mo stretched out his hand, called the waiter over and ordered a few dishes and a pot of wine. He gave the waiter a tael of silver and said, "There is no need to change the remaining money, but I need to ask you a few questions.
"
The waiter wiped his money and estimated that in addition to the normal expenses, there should be a few dollars, which was almost half a month's monthly payment. He said with a smile: "Young Master, if you have any questions, just ask, the people in this city
I know all the big and small matters best."
"Then you can tell me if anything big happened recently, or something unique."
"If we talk about the big thing, it's probably the fight between the Jiao Snake Gang and the Earth Tiger Society. Our area is relatively remote. In addition to the imperial court and the branches of the eight major gangs Tianji Mansion and Wanliu Chamber of Commerce, the Jiao Snake Gang and the Earth Tiger Society are...
Of course, the Hu family is our number one family, but we don’t know how powerful the Hu family is. However, the leaders of the Jiao Snake Gang and the Earth Tiger Society, the Python Yun Zhongqing and the Angry Tiger Wang Kun
They are both masters of the fifth level of marrow refining, and they are considered the number one in this small place like ours. The unique thing is that these two families have been fighting a lot recently, and they are getting more and more intense. I don’t know the specific ones.
"
Lin Mo waved his hand and asked the waiter to go out first. At this time, there were more and more people in the restaurant. Most of them were dressed up and dressed up as gangsters. There was a table here talking about the two gangs fighting each other because it was too big a fuss.
, every household didn’t dare to go out, and the court also turned a blind eye to them. Lin Mo listened for a while but didn’t find any new news, so he thought about it as he finished eating and left the restaurant.
"Based on my current strength, I estimate that I am just a little guy. The leaders of both gangs are at the fifth level of marrow refining, and the head of the Hu family may be stronger. However, my strength is still not enough, and I have spent almost all my money on cultivation.
People's food consumption will become larger and larger, and their requirements for meat will become higher and higher. If this is not possible, they can only go hunting in the wild beast forest outside Jinyang City."
Thinking of this, Lin Mo went to a clothing store in Jinyang City and bought a black outfit and some dry food for going out. After returning home, he carried the fine iron sword from his novice gift bag and walked to the wild beast forest.
The Wild Beast Forest is a large forest thirty miles outside Jinyang City. Due to the high concentration of vitality in this world, the wild beasts will also be very strong. Although there is no phenomenon of spiritual intelligence, ordinary tigers and lions and so on
They all have the strength of around the seventh or eighth level of body refining. With Lin Mo's current strength, he can only kill lone wild deer and wild boars. These beasts are generally around the fourth or fifth level of body refining, but after all, wild beasts have no intelligence.
, so it’s much easier to deal with.
When entering the edge of the wild beast forest, Lin Mo felt someone following him, so he speeded up and hid in the trees nearby. After a while, he heard the sound of running. Lin Mo saw a man who looked like a domestic servant through the gap, panting.
Holding on to the tree beside him, he panted and cursed:
"This loser from the Lin family can really run away. I haven't seen him run into such a place with a knife in his back for several months. I don't know what to think. The master said that if there is any new information about this loser, he must report it. I originally wanted to follow him to see what happened to him.
Whatever you want to do, forget it, go back and report to the master first, there will be rewards no matter what, it is best to be promoted to a high-level servant, haha."
When Lin Mo heard this, he already guessed the general situation, and shook the handle of the knife in his hand tightly. As expected, the Hu family still didn't let him go completely. Fortunately, this time the other party was a low-level servant at the third level of body refining. Even a low-level servant was
His strength was similar to mine, but he was still far behind. When the servant turned around and prepared to go back, Lin Mo quickly activated the power in his body, and with one stride, he split Huashan Mountain with one force. The servant opposite heard the sound of the wind and flashed slightly.
The knife did not hit the back, but it also caused a large wound on the opponent's right arm. Lin Mo saw the blood spurting out, took a deep breath, and used the Bodhi Knife technique to start attacking the opponent's lower limbs.
This servant had only practiced some boxing and kicking skills, and could only dodge slightly. After ten moves, his panicked sword skills became more and more stable, and caused several big wounds on the opponent's thighs. Lin Mo seized the flaw and slashed it.
He aimed at the opponent's neck, and then kicked the opponent's knees. The opponent fell to his knees when he was unable to stand firmly, and the blade of the knife was placed right on the opponent's neck.
"I'll ask you next, do you understand?"
The servant had not yet recovered from the previous rhythm and could only keep nodding.
Lin Mo asked: "Tell me everything you know about me, and why your master asked me to monitor me."
At this time, the servant's wound continued to bleed, his face became paler and whiter, and he said intermittently: "I don't know the specifics, but the master notified everyone in the house more than half a year ago to occasionally monitor the drunkard in the Lin family.
If there is any change in that drunkard, report it immediately and you will be rewarded. Mr. Lin, that’s all I know, please save my life!"
Lin Mo didn't speak. He stared at the other party's eyes to make sure that the other party was not playing tricks. Three seconds later, he wiped the other party's neck with the blade, then searched the things on his body and found nothing except a few taels of silver. Finally, he threw the other party's body away.
He walked toward the bushes. It was close to the wild beast forest and was the best place to destroy the body. He looked at the knife in his hand that was dripping blood quietly. This was the first time he killed someone in his previous life. Apart from being a little nervous at the beginning, there was nothing wrong with it.
Discomfort such as nausea.
Lin Mo sneered and laughed at himself: "Haha, you entered such a murderous environment so quickly, and you can adapt so quickly. Are you a natural executioner? Forget it, the world is like this. Don't give it to yourself.
I'm looking for a reason. Although I won't kill innocent people indiscriminately, I will never allow any situation that threatens me. I don't want to travel through time and then be killed inexplicably as a third-rate supporting actor. I want to live well.
, I want to live better than anyone else, hehehe, hahaha!"
As the laughter gradually disappeared, Lin Mo regained his composure from the bloodthirsty state just now. At the same time, Lin Mo's eyes became colder and colder. Some rules in his previous life were also abandoned. Now he can only adapt to this new rule.
Adapting to this era where human life is like nothing. I picked up the knife in my hand, wiped off the blood, and walked slowly into the forest step by step. The original scholarly temperament also slowly dissipated step by step.
Ten days later, after many hunts, the backpack on Lin Mo's back had a lot of animal skins and bones. In just ten days, Lin Mo's cultivation reached the sixth level of body refining. Sure enough, fighting is the only way to improve.
The fastest way to cultivate one's strength. After Lin Mo used the Yijin Bone Forging Seal for a week, he exhaled a clear breath and it was time to go back.
After processing the animal skins and bones on my body, I gained more than ten taels of silver, which was enough for my expenses during this period. I looked at the points and reached 600 points. I should be releasing the task tonight. With my current strength
, even in a small town like Jinyang City, there are not many. Alas, everything still has a long way to go. At this time, the long-lost voice of the system appeared.
"Ding, the first level of the novice phase mission is the righteous mission, help a hundred poor people, the mission will reward the righteous person's skills from two stars to three stars once on the wheel. The evil mission, kill a hundred people, there is no limit to the cultivation level, the mission will reward the evil people's skills
Turn the wheel from two to three stars once. The mission period is three months. If the mission fails, it will be erased. Please choose the path of good or evil."
Lin Mo thought silently: The mission of the Righteous Path is obviously unrealistic. How much help can it be considered completed? He doesn't have much money, and it will be difficult to solve this problem even in three months. The mission of the Evil Path is indeed easy to solve, but he wants to do this
Killing a hundred people for no reason is nothing, am I a murderer? Is the system consciously guiding me to be ruthless and desireless? But if I kill those two gang members, there is no pressure. Anyway, they
They have done a lot of evil, and the higher the strength of the person killed, the higher the reward should be. After all, there should be a big gap between the two-star and three-star skills. Well, this time I will choose the evil line.
"System, I choose the Evil Line route, and I have to use the 600 points from before to spin the 500-turn wheel."
"Ding, the mission has been confirmed. The evil route has been chosen. Kill a hundred people within three months."
At this time, a big turntable appeared in my mind, which included exercises, weapons, elixirs, other and empty. As the turntable rotated, the pointer finally pointed to the elixir.
"Ding, congratulations on getting a bottle of one-and-a-half-star elixir to increase Qi"
"Well, the elixir is not bad. I just need to take the time to practice. Three months is not a long time, nor is it a short time."
After going out to buy some meat and dry food, I planned to go back to another courtyard to retreat for a month. The other courtyard was about to expire. Once this killing mission started, people would find out sooner or later. It was time for me to find another place to live.
In the Hu family hall, the head of the Hu family was discussing important matters in the family. At this time, a housekeeper rushed in and said: "Master, I have found out about the low-level servant who disappeared before. The last person who saw him found that he followed that good-for-nothing from the Lin family."
"Oh? Forget it, Jinyang City is not peaceful recently. People from the Seven Families and Six Swords are coming over. The Dragon Snake Gang and the Earth Tiger Club are just two idiots. Everyone knows that they can make trouble by opening an underground palace.
Just be calm, as for that good-for-nothing Lin family guy, if it weren't for the imperial court's wooden catcher watching over him, he would have made it clear what he needed to say."
The discussion about the underground palace began again in the Hu family's conference room. Only Meng Ting, the new second mistress of the Hu family, was stunned for a moment after hearing the news from the Lin family, but then her eyes returned to their original calmness.
