Black Book

Chapter 278 If you don’t eat the toast, you will be punished by drinking wine

After a while, the door of the next room opened, and a woman in gorgeous clothes came out, looking coldly at the boy's back as he walked away.

"Sister Liu, you heard it too..."

Yue Zhuan gave a bitter laugh, and the woman in fancy clothes waved her hand calmly.

"I see."

Soon, the woman looked at the young man's back as he disappeared in the crowd, her eyes cold and she whispered softly.

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined with wine..."

"I don't know how to praise!"

..............................

"Um?!"

Walking on the busy street, Zhu Haomiao suddenly had an idea and scratched his head curiously.

Somehow, he seemed to hear familiar words.

After looking around and finding nothing unusual, Zhu Haomiao blinked and continued thinking along with his previous train of thought.

Could it be that Huo Hong is the illegitimate son of some important figure?
Why did wave after wave of people come to rescue him?
wrong!

If he was really an illegitimate child of a big shot, he wouldn't have been sentenced to death...

If we put it into practice, the whole punishment of exile and banishment will be easier to implement...

Just as Zhu Haomiao was concentrating on thinking, a sudden mysterious sensation shocked his heart and he quickly focused his attention into his body.

[Overtime Recovery]

[Body] +0.5
The hidden injuries he had suffered previously were completely repaired, and the damaged muscles and bones became stronger and more solid, which brought an unexpected surprise to the boy.

pity……

[Anger] is only LV.0, its power is weakened and downgraded, and only the [Body] attribute is strengthened, instead of all attributes being improved like the first level...

With a regretful sigh, Zhu Haomiao moved his gaze and looked at his six-dimensional attributes.

[God]: 2.9→4.1
[Agility]: 2.4 → 3.6
[Strength]: 2.5 → 3.7
【Essence】：2.5→3.6
[Qi]: 2.5 → 3.7 (1.1) ↑
【Body】：4.3→7.5【4.2】↑
Just like before, the attributes of [Excess Recovery] are directly enhanced and strengthened, and an equal amount of precipitation attributes are digested.

But what surprised Zhu Haomiao was that the power of [Excess Recovery] was actually enhanced by the [Growth Coefficient]!

In other words, the [Body] attribute directly grew by 1 point and digested 1 point of precipitation, forming a wonderful combination linkage.

Emmmmm...

I have a bold idea!

Rubbing his chin, Zhu Haomiao couldn't help but have all kinds of suicidal thoughts in his mind, but he suppressed them in the blink of an eye.

Don't commit suicide!

His current basic attributes are still far inferior to Yan Yunsheng's, which is equivalent to a ninth-grade warrior.

Even if one takes into account the bonus of the extraordinary power of martial arts and original sin, the actual combat power is estimated to be equivalent to that of a seventh-grade warrior.

Going up, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. Under the absolute attribute advantage, skills become fancy tricks...

It's easy to fail if you commit suicide!
More importantly, acting recklessly may cause unnecessary disturbances in your fate, which may lead to a chain reaction!

Stroking his chin, Zhu Haomiao felt something in his heart and sighed softly.

Never mind, let's not force it, just let it be...

[Black Book]: Restrain greed, Tao Heart +1
“…………”Is this even possible?

Zhu Haomiao pursed his lips in a speech that was difficult to describe. He was reminded by the word "greed" and his eyes swept across the other six-dimensional attributes.

Except for [Body] and [Qi], most of the precipitation attributes have been digested. Next, I have to think of a way to get some gold coins...

Just when Zhu Haomiao was worrying about where to get the gold coins, two mysterious men in black came up to him in a dark alley outside the [Pingyang Marquis' Mansion].

"Pingyang Bo is getting weirder and weirder. He has already attracted the attention of many important people. If we don't take action now, we will have no chance!"

"I...I'll try to persuade him again..."

"There's no time! If soft tactics don't work, try hard tactics. You've already tried once before, what are you afraid of?!"

"But...I..."

"No buts! Your son owes us 1 taels of gambling debt. You don't want to end up with no descendants, do you?"

"........."

"Alright! The poison you used last time didn't kill the target, so I've given you a stronger poison this time. Just in case, we'll send a master to give you a final blow at midnight tonight, and then set fire to destroy the body!"

"All you have to do is appease the servants and produce the forged documents, and then you can deal with the estate in the name of burying the master!"

"Wait for me……"

Seeing the other party trembling in a dilemma, a man in black sneered, stuffed a packet of poison into his hand without saying anything, patted his shoulder threateningly, and turned away.

........................

Late night
Zhu Haomiao was just about to turn off the lights and go to bed when a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Master, are you asleep?"

"Not yet, come in."

crunch~
The wooden door was gently pushed open, and Qin Changzhong walked in with a large pot of wine and placed it on the table.

"Master, tomorrow is the anniversary of the master's death. Please...drink less."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao was stunned for a second, then revealed a sad expression that was consistent with his character and nodded slightly.

"I see."

After sending Qin Changzhong away, Zhu Haomiao sat at the table, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

Although Li Lin was a bastard, he still respected his father very much, and he couldn't show any flaws in this regard...

One cup after another, a whole pot of liquor was soon finished. Zhu Haomiao smacked his lips, lay down on the bed in a daze, and fell asleep.

【lazy】!
start up!

As time passed and the night deepened, several nimble black shadows climbed over the towering walls and quietly moved deeper into the inner courtyard.

Most of the original servants who guarded the palace died in battle following the previous generation of [Pingyang Earl]. The few who remained had to find other ways to make a living because Li Lin was extravagant and could not pay their salaries.

At this time, there were only a few servants left in the huge [Pingyang Marquis' Mansion], and it was completely defenseless.

Several black shadows approached Li Lin's bedroom as if they were in an empty space. The burly figure in the lead made a gesture, and the men immediately dispersed. He alone quietly opened the door and tiptoed gently towards the target.

A few meters away, Zhu Haomiao, who was sleeping like a dead pig, was woken up by Diao Chan who was digging at his pillow. He was about to teach her a lesson in a daze, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyebrows and saw a sharp cold light coming towards him.

Before his brain could react, his body reflexively activated its internal energy and raised its hand to grab.

【Iron Shirt】!
【Tian Gang Jin】!
A thick metallic color flashed across the surface of the skin, and a translucent aura that was as thin as a cicada's wing and imperceptible to the naked eye condensed in an instant, and he struggled to withstand the powerful and vicious blow.

when!
The collision of the palm and the blade caused a crisp explosion like the collision of metal and stone. The man only felt that he had chopped a thick bluestone slab with his sword, which made his palm numb!
what happened? !
Didn’t you say that you were just here to stab the corpse a few more times?
How come they are so full of energy? !

The most important thing is, how did the weak and helpless guy turn into a tough guy who can catch a knife with his bare hands? !
Horse riding!
Need more money!
