I'm the only player

Chapter 381 [Sneak Attack! ]

As expected of a scoundrel in the village, he was very good at insulting people. Not only did he ask people to celebrate the dog's birthday, but he also asked them to kowtow and toast. If it were someone else, he would definitely be furious and blood would splatter five steps away.

But He Sheng didn't.

It’s still the same sentence - the other side has more people and more power, and we can’t defeat them even if we risk our lives.

They can only be pressed to death on the river bank on the pretext of causing trouble, becoming food for fish in the endless sea, as well as stories passed down by word of mouth in the fishing village and the intimidation of people like the successful fishing tyrant Gao.

He took a deep breath, his eyes red.

"No need."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Seventy-five cents, tightly clenched in the palm of my hand.

If I continue to stay, who knows what kind of insults will come out of the mouth of the ruffian who pays the bill. Suddenly, it's a one-for-one exchange at best, which is not cost-effective.

"Oh, I can bear it."

The rascal in charge of checking out spat at He's back.

It's boring. I didn't do it. What a pity. What a good excuse. After the matter is done, maybe my brother can share a lot of money. Let's go to Qingyu Town to have a happy night.

Next to them, the fishermen who had been "cut in line" rolled their eyes as they listened.

You bastards, you have really poisonous tongues. Just wait, if the bastard surnamed Gao loses power, all of you scoundrels will be stabbed by the harpoon one by one.

When Gao Yuba saw his men teasing and insulting the man named He, his expression was cheerful from beginning to end and he felt much better. Why was the little brat pretending to be so nonchalant?

"I have finally grown up and learned to be patient. But it's no use. I can endure it once or twice, but can I endure it three or four times? Sooner or later, his fishing boat will be mine!"

When the people around heard this, they dared not show any expression on their faces and could only mutter to themselves.

What a bastard! He beat the grandfather to death and then ruthlessly exploited the remaining child. Not only that, he even targeted the only property left for survival, leaving no way for the person to survive. Sooner or later, he will be punished by God.

The simple fishermen could only hope for divine punishment, preferably a bolt of lightning that would kill Gao Yuba.

Revolt?

Don't dare, don't dare.
Some people showed expressions of sudden enlightenment after hearing this.

No wonder, no wonder they have been forcing people to death in the past three years, it turns out they are planning to seize the fishing boats.

Twenty-five taels of silver, a relatively wealthy fisherman could earn in two or three years, but it would cost him a life. Is it cheap? Is it worth it?

Cheap! Really worth it!
Human life is worthless, at least in Qing, human life is very worthless.

After returning home, He Sheng tightened the harpoon in his hand.

I can’t wait any longer, I’m going to claim your life tonight!
Damn it, if I accept this, I'm not a wise person. I'm going to let the NPC bully me when I'm clearing a dungeon? As for not being able to clear the dungeon with one life, what's the big deal.

Five hundred thousand copies every day, save for having offspring.

However, I have to make some preparations first, after all, Gao Yuba has more than a dozen subordinates. If I go there rashly, I might be able to kill a few people, but I will also be in trouble.

Only by staying alive can you learn more information, and when you enter the next copy, you can be more calm and look for opportunities to pass the level and complete the task.

Night, around 1:30 in the morning.

According to ancient timekeeping, it is the hour of Chou or the fourth watch of the night.

At this moment, a figure sneaked out of the dilapidated house.

You have to do it secretly. Even though this is the time period, there are actually fishermen who are either out of the village fishing or returning from fishing.

At Haishi, people play with gill nets. Oil lamps are hung on small boats, and the nets drift with the tide. They need to be collected before dawn to avoid wind and waves. At Zishi, people lure fish with lights. Large boats set up fire baskets to lure fish, and fishing continues until the fish schools are gone. At Choushi, people go to the beach to catch shellfish. At low tide, they pick up shellfish barefoot with baskets, and they just need to evacuate before the high tide.

Especially during the high tide season, fishers often go out at night during the full moon or new moon. Fish gather near the shore with the tide, which guarantees a good harvest. Fishermen even pass on the eight words: Go out at night during the high tide, and you will catch twice as much as during the day.

Of course, Gao Yuba would not be there when the fish were collected in the second half of the night. There was nothing better to do at night. Drinking or sleeping, which one was better than standing on the riverbank in the cold wind?

Normally, the one with the surname Gao would drink and gamble with his younger brothers. At this time, the number of people would be half of the usual number, at most five to seven.

I am also a human being and I need to rest. Drinking and playing with money is fun, but if you do it every night, even the strongest person can't stand it.

When He Sheng sneaked up to Gao Yuba's house, the room was brightly lit. From time to time, people could hear words like "buy it and leave it alone", occasionally someone laughed, but most of the time they complained.

"I would have bought it if I had known"

During this period, complaints from Gao Yuba's wife could also be heard.

This happened every night, and the younger brothers could take turns to rest. As a woman, she didn't dare to interfere too much, so she could only complain a few words to relieve her worries.

"Do you need money to spend, clothes to wear, food to eat and drink? You have everything, why do you care about me?" Gao Yuba was not as arrogant as usual, and his tone was a little bit weak. Retort?

Speaking of which, the other party's wife can be said to be the beauty of Xiaoyu Village, and she is very pretty. Otherwise, he would not have married her home, and would not have been as kind as he was just now.

Damn it, good people don’t live long, but evil deeds last for thousands of years.

A guy like Gao Yuba has married and had children.

At the hour of Mao, the younger brothers returned home one after another to rest.

He Sheng did not attack immediately, because he could not defeat the opponent in a head-on fight. Even though he had something in his hand, if he started to make a fuss, he would not be able to kill him in a short time. And if he made a noise and attracted other people, the cold wind that he had been holding for half a night would be wasted.

After drinking so much, you have to go to the bathroom, right?

As I thought of this, the door not far away opened.

With the help of the faint morning light, I could see a tall dark figure walking out drunk. He took two or three steps, turned around and walked to the left wall, and began to untie his belt.

"Swish"

There were soft footsteps, but unfortunately the drunk man ignored them.

To be honest, it was simply because Gao Yuba was lax.

When he first became a fishing tyrant, even if he went out to pee, he would have at least two younger brothers following him, for fear that some fishermen in the village would get too excited.

As a result, many years passed, and everything was calm. At most, there was an incident of an old man being beaten to death three years ago. As a result, people gradually relaxed their vigilance.

A person can be alert for one day, ten days, or even a year, but he or she cannot be alert forever, because that would be very tiring.

Moreover, judging from his many years of behavior as a fishing tyrant, the villagers of Xiaoyu Village are just a group of soft-tempered lambs who will not resist as long as they get a bite of grass, and he is the shepherd who controls the whip.

When have you ever seen a sheep bite a person?
Then, there comes the price.

"Pfft!!"

The sharp knife, several inches long, pierced into his back.

I wanted to shout, but unfortunately a hand reached out from behind and covered my mouth tightly.

Normally, he would have been able to break free if he had just used some strength. But he was drunk and could not exert much strength. Moreover, the knife in his back was bleeding him again and again, and his struggle gradually weakened until it completely disappeared.

At the same time, the person also collapsed.

The dead body weighing over 100 pounds was slowly laid flat on the ground by He Sheng.

Then, he left quietly.

Returning to the house, he took a few breaths.

I never thought that it would be so easy to kill Gao Yuba. It was so easy that the instigator still couldn't believe it and wondered if he was dreaming.

After a short rest, he put down the harpoon, lime powder and other items one by one. For this "One man's anger, blood splattered five steps", he prepared a lot of things.

As a result, only a sharp knife was used and all the preparation was in vain.

"Wait until tomorrow, at the latest in the afternoon, I will probably be taken away." He stroked his chin, thinking about a solution. "Go to sleep, have a good sleep."

Now, he was just a young boy from a fishing village, and his energy was not as strong as it was in reality. After crouching for half a night and killing people, his adrenaline surged, and when he was quiet, he felt endless exhaustion.

"boom!!"

The door was kicked open from the outside, and a familiar person walked in first.

He Sheng opened his eyes and saw that it was an old acquaintance.

This person was the younger brother who had asked him to celebrate the birthday of Gao Yuba's dog at the riverbank last night.

"Brother Wang, it's him. Yesterday, this kid's eyes were red, he must be holding a grudge. This morning, he attacked Boss Gao."

Gao Yuba's little brother, make way. A strong man wearing iconic clothing walked in from outside. The stranger glanced around and saw a bloody knife on the ground.

"You didn't even hide the murder weapon. Should I praise you for being brave or stupid?" He had seen Boss Gao's body. The nineteen wounds were completely consistent with the sharp knife on the ground.

The location of the cut was so deadly that no one was left with any chance of survival.

"Take the knife and the man to the fish pen in town. Manager Li said he wanted to see who was able to kill Gao."

"Yes Yes Yes."

The young man who was in charge of settling accounts with the fishermen at the river beach waved his hand and called two more people from outside, who quickly tied up the man.

"Boy, when we get to Qingyu Town, you'll be in trouble! Our Boss Gao is from the Giant Whale Sect. If you dare to kill someone from the Giant Whale Sect, even if you have nine lives, it won't be enough to pay for it."

Hearing this, the man from the town curled his lips in disdain.

Is he worthy even though his surname is Gao?

It was simply because the fishermen were ignorant and were frightened by others.

If he really was a disciple of the Giant Whale, he wouldn't be doing the job of collecting fish in the village.

But, he is too lazy to speak, so just take what you think is true.

Xiaoyu Village is not far from Qingyu Town, only thirty-five miles away.

However, the people on the road were so tired that they were out of breath.

In ancient times, there were no official roads, so walking was very difficult. There was only one person in the whole audience who did not blush or breathe heavily.

The strong man who came from the town always looked calm, and no matter how muddy or rugged the road was, he walked on it as smoothly as if it were flat ground.

"Brother Yang, that master is not a martial artist, right?"

A younger brother inquired.

The person who was responsible for paying the fishermen was none other than Brother Yang. Because he was in charge of the income and expenditure, he was considered the top person under Gao Yuba.

Now, with no leader, he is of course the backbone.

This man was very satisfied that someone who used to be on the same level as him called him Brother Yang.

If nothing unexpected happens, Gao Yuba will die and he will be able to take over.

Well, I think my sister-in-law is still charming!

Bah, he just wanted to take care of his sister-in-law and definitely wasn't after her beauty.

"What do you think?"

"I'm so jealous. I wish I could learn martial arts."

In response, Brother Yang chuckled.

"Why don't you take a sip of piss and look at yourself? Can you afford the thirty taels of silver to enter? If not, it's a foolish dream to want to join the Giant Whale Sect to learn martial arts."

"Brother Yang, I heard from people in other villages that there are martial arts schools in some places. The fees are not as expensive as the Giant Whale Sect. Is that true?"

The younger brother asked again, his eyes full of hope.

"Don't dream. There is no martial arts school in Sanshui City. If you want to learn martial arts, the only way is the Giant Whale Sect. I don't know if there are so-called martial arts schools in other places. But I do know one thing, the nearest city to Sanshui City is 800 miles away.

On the road, can you fight off robbers, wild beasts, etc.? There is an escort agency, and according to their price, it costs two taels of silver for every hundred miles. For eight hundred miles, it costs sixteen taels.

Secondly, you need to find two escorts to protect you, right? One person, no bargaining, two taels per day. So, it is four taels. Fifty miles per day, sixteen days to arrive, sixty-four taels.

Plus one more, a total of eighty taels. It's not that there is no way to get it cheaper. If there is an escort team going to a city eight hundred miles away, we can go with them, and the cost will be reduced by at least half.

The problem is that the escort team is more likely to be robbed. As for you, since the fee is relatively cheap, the escort agency's people will focus on protecting the escorted items. If you are lucky, you can continue on your journey. If you are unlucky, you will have to go downstairs. "

"."

I won’t ask anymore, okay?

"There is a martial arts school in Yunzhong City, eight hundred miles away. Unfortunately, there is only one, and their fees are not much cheaper than those of the Giant Whale Sect." The member of the Giant Whale Sect who came from the town finally spoke.

"."

"Besides, you don't necessarily have to use silver to join the Giant Whale Sect. If you can catch a spiritual fish or a mountain treasure, you can still join us."

The whole team fell silent in an instant. Do you want to hear what you are saying?
Spirit fish?

My goodness, that thing will be sold for at least 100 taels. As for mountain treasures, the price is not lower than that of spirit fish. Thirty taels can enter the Giant Whale Gate, and I have to spend 100 taels?
"Look at how hopeless you are. How can the treatment for thirty taels of silver to learn martial arts be the same as the treatment for offering spiritual fish and mountain treasures? Thirty taels is only the fee for one year of martial arts training, and it does not include food and accommodation. After one year, if you want to continue learning martial arts, you have to pay more.

Offering spiritual fish and mountain treasures is different, food and accommodation are provided. As long as you don't learn, you can stay in the Giant Whale Sect to practice martial arts for the rest of your life, no one will chase you away, it's like providing you with food and accommodation for the rest of your life.

Once you have mastered martial arts, if you want to come out, you can start as a manager. Once you become a manager of any industry in the Giant Whale Sect, making a few hundred taels of silver a year is like playing.

Manager Li of the fish pen was the one whose father had contributed the spiritual fish. He stayed in the martial arts hall of the Giant Whale Sect for eight years before being released. For someone like him who had no talent for martial arts and was even bad at it, he was just a spiritual fish, but no one looked down on him and he was directly made a manager.
