Chapter 1 That night, that person, that knife

Sometimes, a sentence can make people enlightened.

Sometimes, a knife can cover the whole world.

"Son, your father and I are going to have sex now, so I should tell you some things."

"Actually, I'm not your father. I picked you up from the river."

"You heard me right, I lied to you for eighteen years."

"Your father, I was a small flag officer of the Demon Suppression Department. I received a mission to suppress demons. Because I was afraid of death, I took advantage of the opportunity to run away from the mission. I escaped from this small border village and ended up in a river.

I picked you up."

"Your father, I have never forgiven anyone in my life."

"If you want to become an official, you can go to the Shangshu Mansion in the imperial capital to find a woman named Nalanyi."

"Don't be fooled. That's my fiancée. She's probably married. When you see her, tell her I'm sorry for me."

"She has a bad temper. If she wants to beat you up, be patient."

"If you just want to live an ordinary life, there are a thousand taels of silver in the cellar of the ancestral hall, which I have saved over the years. Save it, it will be enough for you in this life."

"Since you have fallen into the rivers and lakes, you are a miserable person. There is no need to avenge me. You have to walk your own path from now on."

…

Ji Chen leaned against the wall, holding a knife in one hand, recalling the last words of the cheap dad before his death in his mind.

He grew up in Jijia Village outside Fenglin Town.

In this bitter cold land in the northwest, if Ruolun is poor and Maplewood Town is ranked second, there is no place that dares to be ranked first.

For the young people in Maplewood Town, those who have a little bit of ambition have gone out to make a living, and few are willing to stay in the bitter cold land to forage for food.

Ji Chen is a different kind, and his cheap dad is even more so.

As for why it appeared in this place, we have to start with that dark and windy night.

That night, as soon as he closed his eyes and opened them, a lifetime passed.

The family in this family is relatively well-off, and the cheap daddy plans to let him study in literature.

He was quite successful. He first passed the county examination and the government examination and became a tongsheng, and then he passed the science examination and the sui examination and became a scholar.

Why is it necessary to take the scholar examination? Emperor Xia established his country and began to revise essays. Scholars have many exemptions.

As a member of the wave, he has no lofty ideals, nor does he have the ambition to achieve great achievements with his broken body. He has no intention of hanging around in the world, nor does he want to participate in court disputes.

He just wants to be known as a scholar, and then live in peace for the rest of his life. He can buy a few pieces of land, take in two concubines, hug him from left to right, and have lewd pleasures...

Oh no, enjoy your life.

There was no accident, but there was an accident.

The Snow Clan of the Wasteland, which had been dormant for ten years, invaded the border wilderness and the entire Jijia Village was massacred.

Ji Chen escaped under the desperate protection of his cheap daddy.

The Snow Tribe, a combination of humans and snow monsters, was abandoned and struggled to survive in the wilderness. They occasionally used humans as food. But most of them did not dare to attack humans.

After all, they were suppressed by General Xu once ten years ago, and the clan was almost wiped out.

After the Snow Tribe retreated, some bandits living in the borderlands took the opportunity to loot the village. Some of the villagers who had survived were also killed by the bandits.

At this moment, a fire was being lit for cooking in the ancestral hall, and it seemed that these bandits planned to spend the night here.

Even they don't dare to travel at night, who knows if they will encounter monsters or the remaining Snow Tribe.

The moon was dark, the wind was high, and the wind was so cold that I couldn't see my fingers.

This kind of weather is perfect for killing people.

In this world, since I can't lie down for the rest of my life, I will pick up the knife and carve out a pure land where I can lie down. Since I will not be mediocre, I will sing all the way. Life should be wonderful, and death should be dead.

If I look back in the future, there must be a pure place in the world.

Ji Chen clenched his sword tightly, his eyes resting on his retina, staring at the attribute information on it.

Lifespan:75

Strength: Vulnerable

Knife Technique: Draped Knife Technique - Introduction

Kill:8

Reputation:10

The basic attributes, so simple that they couldn't be simpler, are the foundation for his survival and the basis for him to dare to fight back.

Every time he kills a person, he can get some killing points, which can be used to improve his skills.

To put it simply, kill people and slay monsters → explode and kill points → improve your skills → become stronger

It's that crude, it's that simple.

As a time-traveler, how can you not live without it? You can not use it, but you cannot live without it.

Having a hanger and not using it, and having no hanger in hand are two different things.

Otherwise, how do you think he was able to get admitted as a scholar, considering that he was blessed with thirty-three taels of silver in his lifetime?

Ouch...vomit...!

Ji Chen tightened his somewhat stiff hands and held the sword tightly. Even though he was shivering from the cold, he never flinched.

The cheap dad is right, once you fall into the rivers and lakes, you are a miserable person!

Ji Chen agreed with this, but he felt that one word should be changed.

Once you fall into the rivers and lakes, you are a life-threatening person.

It was freezing cold, and it was even colder in the wilderness at night. If these bandits were not killed, he would most likely be the one freezing to death outside.

Therefore, he had no choice but to risk his life.

The wild laughter and conversations in the ancestral hall reached his ears clearly, forming a sharp contrast with his silence in the cold wind.

He didn't dare to make a sound.

The most terrifying bandit leaders have been killed by his cheap dad.

But even the few remaining little bandits are not something he can deal with.

He only learned the skill of wearing a sword in order to deal with Ke Shi and Sui Shi.

The Six Arts of the Gentleman, Ke Shi and Sui Shi are required to test riding and archery.

He chose the sword over the difficult-to-learn sword.

Simple, crude, and easy to learn.

Therefore, his current combat power is about the same as that of an ordinary bandit, and at most his physical fitness is better than theirs. After all, bandits are very precarious. At least he has been able to have enough food and clothing since he was a child, and he can even drink tiger bone soup every now and then.

Suddenly, Ji Chen heard footsteps, walking towards the outside.

He held his breath, held the sword tightly with both hands, leaned against the wall, and tried to control his heart that was beating crazily due to nervousness.

Even after killing several bandits, he still feels nervous and even afraid.

Soon, a bandit wearing fur walked out of the ancestral hall.

It was obvious that he drank a lot.

The frontier is barren, and the only way to keep out the cold in winter is to keep yourself warm by the fire, which is low-quality spirits, which can numb your nerves, get rid of the hostility after murder, and keep you warm from the cold.

In the pitch-black night, the drunken gangsters did not notice Ji Chen hiding in the corner.

He came outside the ancestral hall, walked into the dark night, lifted up the fur and started to pour water.

Ji Chen slowly came up behind him, raised his single sword, and when he was trembling at the last moment, he slashed directly at his neck.

"puff!"

The light of a knife flashed in the dark night, and the slight sound of the sharp weapon being rubbed was masked by the howling cold wind.

[Killing points +2]

A line of prompts flashed across Ji Chen's eyes like a barrage.

Ji Chen ignored it, he was used to it.

A head fell from the bandit's neck and was caught by Ji Chen. Then he hooked the bandit's body with his feet and slowly lowered it to the ground.

Five headless corpses were piled on the ground.

The smell of blood filled the air, and was quickly dispersed by the cold wind, merging with the original bloody smell.
