Chapter 1 Persistence and Effort
Yuancheng.
A small town in the westernmost part of the Xia Kingdom.
The chaos here ranks first in all cities in Xia Kingdom every year.
Countless murderers, smugglers, and court-related criminals crossed the border from here to the bordering Yan State.
It even specialized in the business to protect these people from leaving safely.
At the same time, smuggling and crime bring about prosperity in addition to chaos.
...
The first taboo in the city of Xiyuan - it is forbidden to throw garbage into the river of Xiyuan. It is light when someone finds it and is hung on the city wall.
However, there are always exceptions in everything.
Some outsiders who don’t understand the rules always like to throw corpses into the river.
Lin Yi is a river caregiver. His daily job is to be responsible for the daily cleaning of the only water source in Xiyuan City, the Xiyuan River, to ensure that everyone here can drink safe and hygienic water.
This job is also one of the few jobs in Xiyuan City that are safe.
...
"I'll go, is this a family of three people killed?"
Lin Yi tried hard to pull a child's body floating in the river onto the boat.
In addition, the body of a man and a woman who had just been salvaged in this water area. It is easy to see that it is a family of three.
"Oh! It's so pitiful. It was a happy family of three."
The three of them were wearing valuable clothes. It can be seen that the three of them should have some money before their lifetime.
Unfortunately, I was not good at some point, so I insisted on coming to Xiyuan City.
"I guess it was because I escaped here or was caught up by my enemies."
Such things are common in this Yuan City.
Many people thought that they could leave Xia Kingdom as long as they escaped here, but in fact, their whereabouts were discovered as soon as they escaped here and then they were hung on the black market.
"Huh? What is this?"
The clothes worn by the child attracted Lin Yi's attention.
After taking off the child's clothes and taking a closer look, Lin Yi's pupils suddenly shrank.
The clothes are covered with dense small characters
"Yangyuan Jue... This is a martial arts secret!"
On the first day of coming to this world, Lin Yi learned from his predecessors that this world can not only fly over the eaves and walk on the walls, but also divide rivers and seas.
My predecessor always dreamed of learning a martial arts and becoming a master that everyone envied.
However, the cheapest martial arts school in Xiyuan City also costs 5 taels of silver a month. And you have to pay one year at a time. If you can't learn, you won't get the tuition fee.
Lin Yi’s current wage is one tael and five cents a month, which is one hundred and fifty copper coins. In addition to the fifty copper coins spent in a month of meals, he can also save one tael of silver.
"I feel a little embarrassed to sacrifice the secret book for the predecessor."
After taking off the child's clothes, Lin Yi hurriedly put them in his arms, regardless of whether the clothes were still wet.
...
It was not until he returned home that Lin Yi's trembling heart calmed down a little.
"From today, I am also a martial arts person."
When working during the day, Lin Yi would lower his head from time to time to check if he had lost his martial arts.
"Hmm? Why is it gone?"
When Lin Yi opened the clothes and saw that the words on the clothes had disappeared at some point. Just as what happened before was a dream.
"Is it because I had hallucinations before?"
"No, I probably missed something?"
After just thinking for a moment, Lin Yi had an answer in his mind.
He picked up the water beside him and poured it on his clothes.
Gradually.
The disappearing text appears on the clothes.
In my previous life, Lin Yi heard that some martial arts secrets were hidden and needed to be seen in water or fire before they could appear. Now, when I tried it, it was exactly the same as I guessed.
"The novel is really not to deceive me."
"But fortunately those people are so hiding secrets, otherwise it wouldn't be my turn to find the bargain."
...
After studying for a long time, Lin Yi put down the clothes in his hand.
"Is it so difficult? I have read it nearly twenty times before I can recite the full text."
Lin Yi had thought that even if his cultivation qualification was not the best, it would at least be reasonable. But now it seems that his qualification was always a compliment to him.
"How should I practice this? I might be sixty or seventy years old when I complete my cultivation."
The strong contrast made Lin Yi fall into deep self-doubt again.
"If you don't have talent, you can only rely on hard work."
"Plugin, come!"
Name: Lin Yi
Martial Arts: Yangyuan Jue (0% of the first level)
Attribute point: 0
This is a plug-in that Lin Yi bought games in his previous life. The only disadvantage is that the main way to obtain the attribute points inside is to spend money.
However, killing can also drop attribute points, but there is only about one-fifth of the probability.
If gold is purchased, the attribute points obtained by this method have a limit of ten points.
“Purchase an attribute point.”
"A property point requires one or two gold, should I buy it?"
“…”
Lin Yi fell into silence.
One tael of gold is ten taels of silver. Lin Yi only had thirty-three taels of silver all over his body. It was only saved after accumulating it in his previous life for several years.
"Forget it, I can't bear to leave the child and can't trap the wolf."
"Redeem a property point."
“Redeem successful.”
Attribute point: 1
"Continue to redeem a property point."
"It takes five taels of gold to exchange for an attribute point, whether to exchange it."
"No! No! No!"
Lin Yi quickly denied it.
Although I have long known that the price will rise after every purchase of attribute points, the increase is really exaggerated.
"The original price is five times the price, which is too expensive. It's better to buy it with one or two gold after resetting it tomorrow."
"System, add some!"
"Add all to Yangyuan Jue for me."
It was obviously only a little bit, but Lin Yi's tone seemed to have dozens of points.
Yangyuan Jue (30% of the first level)
“That’s 30%?”
"It's true that persistence and hard work are needed."
"No talent, all hard work."
After the Yangyuan Art reaches 30%, Lin Yi feels that a wisp of vague internal force is derived from his body.
After circulating the faint internal force in his body, Lin Yi reached out to pinch the table.
Click—
Lin Yi broke off a corner of the table that had been with him for ten years.
At the same time, Lin Yi felt that nearly half of the internal force in his body disappeared.
"Has it consumed so much?"
Although the internal force is amazing, Lin Yi is also lamenting the terrifying consumption.
"I'm afraid I can't hold on for five seconds."
"It seems that my persistence and hard work are not enough. It seems that I have to work hard to make money."
