Chapter 1: Plucking Hair
Qiming Empire, Yu City, a farmers' market in the west of the city.

It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon and the vegetable vendors in the farmers' market were preparing to pack up and go home. At this time, there were very few people coming to buy vegetables.

This is not like the previous life, when there were still many vegetable vendors staying in the market at seven or eight o'clock in the evening. Those working people usually got off work around six to eight o'clock. The vegetable market still had a market, so they could earn more money.

"Young man, help me kill a chicken." In the farmers' market, an aunt came to Wang Ping'an's stove carrying an old hen and said.

Wang Pingan was delighted and happily took the old hen handed to him by the aunt: "Auntie, please wait a few minutes, it will be ready soon."

"Then hurry up, I'm busy cooking at home." Auntie looked at the time anxiously. She came out a little late today and hoped to make up for it somewhere else.

Wang Ping'an nodded and said nothing more. He was used to it. Usually, people who came to buy vegetables at this time would ask for a word or two.

He plucked a tuft of hair from the chicken's neck, picked up a sharp knife from the small table next to him, cut the chicken's neck with one knife, turned the whole chicken upside down, and hung it on the hook next to it to allow the blood to flow out faster.

He was not idle either. He poured some hot water from the stove into the basin, which he would need for plucking the hair later.

Gain: Experience 5
Wang Ping'an ignored the reminder. He had seen it countless times in the past month and had long been able to ignore it.

The old hen hanging on the hook next to it also stopped flapping its wings and only had intermittent twitching.

Wang Ping'an drew some water, took the dead chicken off the hook next to him, and quickly plucked the feathers from the old hen with the freshly drawn hot water.

There was still some fluff left, so he didn't continue plucking it with his hands. Instead, he put the hen directly into a pot on another stove, where a pot of asphalt-like, black, sticky liquid was boiling.

The old hen is covered with these liquids all over its body, and then the hen is placed in a basin of cold water next to it, which can quickly cool down the black liquid and make it clump together.

For poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese, as long as they roll in it, the fluff on their bodies will be plucked out completely by the clumping black liquid.

After processing the feathers, Wang Ping'an cut open the chicken, took out the internal organs, the chicken heart, and dried chicken mushrooms, washed them, put them in a bag, and asked his aunt to take them back.

Because the intestines are difficult to clean, the plucking shop does not help. If the customer needs it, they will only help pack it up and let the customer go home to wash it themselves.

"Auntie, do you need these intestines? If not, I'll throw them away." Wang Ping'an was already finishing and preparing to pack the hens into bags.

"It's too late today, please help me throw it away!" The aunt thought of her grandchildren who were about to come home, and she didn't know how much time it would take to take the intestines back.

"Auntie, your chicken has been killed. I'll charge you two yuan." Wang Ping'an took the two yuan handed over by the auntie. The two plucking shops in the market both charge the same price.

After seeing the aunt off, Wang Ping'an closed the honeycomb coal stove, moved the stove under the eaves, and put some other things into the rented storefront.

"Xiao Wang, it's time to close the stall. Why don't you stay a little longer today?" The owner of the hair plucking shop next door really envied his competitor, Lao Zhang, for hiring such a capable person.

"Yeah, it's too cold today and there are not many people back here." Wang Ping'an chatted with the other party for a few words. After putting the things away, he went out to the market to buy some food.

He did not stay outside for long. Firstly, it was not safe in Yudu at night, and secondly, he had something important to do tonight.

Wang Ping'an quickly finished eating what he bought and then started his daily exercise.

The plucking shop is not big, only about ten square meters in total. Apart from some tools, there is also his bed.

In such a small space, he could only do some simple exercises, such as sit-ups, push-ups, and high leg raises.

Time passed little by little, and Wang Ping'an never stopped these actions, and he did it for several hours.

The main reason why he can exercise for such a long time is because he has a cheat, otherwise he would not be able to persist for so long.

He traveled here more than 20 days ago and activated the Taoist profession in the legendary game. There is also a mall with various items for sale.

In addition to miscellaneous items such as potions, poison powder, torches, amulets, chicken, pork, and war oil.

There are also skill books, but unfortunately there is only one, which is the Taoist's seventh-level skill book - "Healing".

The last things on sale are all kinds of monsters, from small monsters like scarecrows, hooked cats, and stick dogs, to top bosses like the Dragon Lord, the Iron-Blooded Demon King, and the Ashura God.

Wang Ping'an had been playing games since he was six years old in his previous life, so of course he was very familiar with these monsters. Some of them were from the Legend of Mir 2, and some were from the legendary world.

It looks like two games, but it is just one game with a different skin.

To purchase these items, including those monsters, all require mall coins.

Mall coins are easy to obtain. You will get one as long as you kill an animal with more than one experience point.

Poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese have experience points. Chickens have the highest experience points, whether they are roosters or hens, they both have five experience points. Ducks and geese have much less experience points, only one.

This is why he came to work here.

For the sake of experience, he can endure the various smells in the farmers' market and the low salary.

The most important point was that when he first crossed over, his predecessor was killed and thrown into a garbage dump. To avoid those who knew he had returned from the dead, he moved from the east side of the city to the west, wearing a mask every day, for fear of being seen by those who killed him.

Wang Ping'an listened attentively to the movements in the market. It was already quiet at this point, so he stopped exercising and drank a bottle of golden wound medicine (a small amount) to restore the health points lost during this period to full value.

After drinking the potion, Wang Ping'an once again felt a warm current moving in his body.

As all the potions were consumed, the health points lost due to exercise began to recover rapidly, and soon returned to the full value of 35 points. The various aches and pains caused by exercise were instantly relieved, and the body returned to its best condition.

Next, Wang Pingan wants to upgrade his level to level seven. This is also the reason why he closed his stall early today. The monsters he bought with mall coins are enough for him to upgrade to level seven.

Maybe it’s because of the time travel, but a lot of experience points are needed to upgrade from level 6 to level 7. In the game, only 900 experience points are needed, but in reality, the experience points for this level have increased tenfold, requiring 9,000 points.

Wang Ping'an is a little worried now. The subsequent levels will be based on the current level, so it will be very difficult for him to upgrade in the future.

With the little experience provided by chickens, ducks and geese, it will take a long time to upgrade again.

After thinking about some random things, Wang Ping'an opened the mall, looked at the Rake Cat, and then spent 18 mall coins to buy one.

As the purchase was confirmed, a cat with a rake appeared in front of him.

No matter how many times he saw it, Wang Ping'an still found it magical. It was completely created out of thin air.

"Wow..." When the cat with the rake saw Wang Ping'an in front of him, it raised the rake in its hand and hit him on the head.

Wang Ping'an had killed many monsters like this in the past few days and was not afraid of it. He also raised the bronze sword in his hand and chopped it down.

This is a weapon that dropped from the senior who killed it a few days ago. It is just right for killing it.

He had already collected a complete set of equipment by killing rake cats in the past few days.

Wang Ping'an only materialized the bronze sword. Although the other equipment did not materialize, they were also playing a role.

Primary weapons are different from other equipment. Melee attacks must be materialized to be effective, otherwise they will be the same as bare hands.

He also suffered a loss once when he found that the attack with the rake was wrong, and then he remembered the prompt that appeared.

Wang Ping'an usually killed and plucked chickens, and rarely paid attention to these reminders. He didn't pay attention at the time, so he consumed an extra bottle of golden wound medicine (a small amount).

"Wow……"

The cat with a spiked rake let out a final wail, looked unwillingly at Wang Ping'an in front of him, and then its body gradually returned to nothingness, as if it had never appeared, just like when it appeared.

Wang Ping'an was very satisfied with this, as he didn't have to deal with the body.

Gain: Experience 18
"Nothing exploded." Wang Ping'an looked at the empty floor, feeling a little disappointed.

Ever since he dropped a set of equipment, the Rake Cats haven't dropped any equipment for many times, and have even become stingy with potions.

He felt very sorry that the monsters he bought never dropped gold coins. He had killed so many monsters, but not a single one had dropped even a single gold coin.

Wang Ping'an thought about it and realized that since there were already mall coins in the mall, it would seem a bit repetitive to get gold coins.

But he still wanted to get some gold coins. He was extremely poor and only had the last four hundred dollars on him.

Gold in this world is also a precious metal. If he can produce some gold coins, he can sell them and exchange them for the currency here.

Then you can just buy chickens and kill them, without having to endure the harsh environment in the market like you do now.

This plucking shop is close to the slaughterhouse and toilet at the back. He and the boss kill two to three hundred poultry every day. The mixture of various smells is really unbearable for ordinary people.

In other words, he has no money, otherwise he wouldn't ask the boss to let him live in the plucking shop. He now feels that his sense of smell has become a little impaired.

Wang Ping'an then killed more than ten cats with spikes. These monsters in the game were no problem at all for him who was fully armed.

Except for the pain which is a bit unbearable, everything else is fine.

Anyway, there would be no obvious injuries from being attacked by the spiked cat, and the plucking shop was so small that he could only stand and play with it.

Wang Ping'an had dodged before, but his efficiency and consumption were not as good as they are now.

Level Up!
After killing the last cat with a rake, Wang Ping'an successfully upgraded, and only had the last 100 mall coins left.

He will be teleported to the abyss world after twelve o'clock, and these mall coins are used in case of emergency.
