Wu Sheng: I can adapt to evolution

Chapter 9 The Small Treasury Is Not Enough
If you want to become an official, the fastest and most convenient way is to pass the military examination.

However, even the lowest-ranking martial arts student must reach a perfect level of [Strength Training].

That is: the force is as great as a thousand pounds, the energy is perfect, one can throw something a hundred feet high, break a wall with a single punch, be faster than a galloping horse, and fight tigers and bears hand to hand.

In modern society, this is like a little superman. If he were wearing armor, he could kill people as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

And strength training is only the first level of the nine levels of martial arts.

Currently, the strongest warrior in the entire Changning County is only at the third level.

The world is big, and Changning County is small.

Lu Ming suddenly felt a fascination with this world. He wanted to see how powerful and incredible the individual lives that had truly reached the ninth level, or even surpassed it, were.

It was late at night, and Lu Ming's ears moved slightly. Thanks to all the stealing he had done these days, his hearing had improved a lot.

He heard Wu Ma's steady breathing in the next room and knew that she was already asleep.

"Pfft."

He gently opened the window of the east wing, glanced outside alertly, and then turned over like a big cat and jumped into the water.

Because his yard was close to the river, he could just climb out and go directly into the water.

The river is his last refuge.

Even if he offended the most powerful being in the city, he would not be afraid of anyone as long as he was told to jump into the water.

As soon as he entered the water, the gills behind his ears opened instantly. He sucked in the water and then expelled it through his gills. He felt extremely refreshed and comfortable.

He dived deep into the river and turned over a stone, where he found a package.

When the package was opened, there was a lot of loose silver inside, about a hundred taels, and some gold and silver jewelry, which were estimated to be worth quite a lot.

This place is his real little treasury. All his money is hidden here. Whenever he is short of money, he can come here to withdraw it. It is much safer than keeping it in the room.

But it is obvious that because of the heavy spending in the past few months, the small treasury can no longer hold on.

We have to find a way to get him again.

He hid the silver again, exerted a little force with his feet, and flew out like a fish.

……

Lu Ming found a secluded corner and climbed ashore. He would try to commit crimes in a place far away from his residence to avoid being found by the police during the investigation.

After coming ashore, his body swelled slightly, his waist became wider, and a layer of soft flesh grew on his back.

His limbs also seemed to become longer, and judging from his figure alone, he no longer looked like a normal human.

He wasn't wearing much clothing, just a layer of shorts.

The skin exposed to the outside world seemed to evolve and become more integrated with the darkness, becoming pitch black. At the same time, his five senses also rapidly amplified, and the sounds and scenes around him were quickly absorbed into his mind.

The muscles on his face changed rapidly, and he completely transformed into another person.

Lu Ming took a step and jumped, reaching about the height of a person. At the same time, he placed his hands on the wall on one side and flipped over like a civet cat to get in.

It landed silently and extremely lightly.

He walked with very small steps, blending into the world like a shadow.

A vicious dog tied up not far away was sleeping soundly at the moment, because at this moment Lu Ming not only suppressed the sound of his movement, but also basically did not let his smell escape.

It was just getting dark, but still far from midnight.

At this time, most wealthy families had not yet gone to bed. This was the perfect time for Lu Ming to strike.

He walked along a long corridor, and occasionally when he saw someone coming, he would hide in the shadows without anyone noticing.

The houses of these wealthy families all had fixed layouts, so he quickly figured out the location of the master bedroom.

He listened carefully, but found no sound from inside, so he quietly pushed the door open and walked in.

According to his understanding, wealthy families would normally keep large amounts of gold and silver in the warehouse, which would be strictly guarded by a dedicated person, but they would also keep some money for daily use in the master bedroom.

Although the daily expenses would not be much, there would still be several hundred or a thousand taels.

Lu Ming skillfully opened the cabinet and after searching for a while, he found a box in a corner.

When he opened it, he saw some loose change inside, probably more than three hundred taels.

A look of joy lit up his face, he grabbed a package, packed everything, and quickly left the room.

This money is enough for him to use for another half a year.

He was about to leave, but when he passed by a study, his ears moved slightly and he seemed to hear some words that interested him.

He turned over and hid in a bush of flowers, listening carefully.

"...Without the [Demon Slaying Order], the supply of monster meat in Changning County has been cut off. If we want to restore it, it will take until next year at the earliest."

"This is a good opportunity for our Lin family. Without monster meat, those warriors can only buy our medicinal powder."

"Dad, I understand. I'll tell all the shopkeepers tomorrow that the prices of all medicines will increase by 30%."

There should be two people in the study, talking to each other.

Hearing this, Lu Ming was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that the supply of monster meat was really related to the [Monster Killing Order]. If that was the case, then the trouble he had caused was quite big.

But who can be blamed for this? You are a county lieutenant, but you didn't know how to find a place to hide such an important thing and carried it with you. I can only say that you didn't take good care of it.

"Dad, if we do this, how will we explain it to the county government?"

The young voice hesitated after being excited.

"An explanation? The county government lost the [Monster Killing Order], causing a shortage of monster meat in Changning County. We haven't asked them for an explanation yet. Let them figure out how to hold the Martial Temple accountable first."

The older voice couldn't help but sneer.

"It's a pity that our family hasn't produced any talent in martial arts. Otherwise, we could take the [Demon Slaying Order] ourselves instead of having to rely on others."

The old man's tone was somewhat resentful, and the young man seemed afraid to speak, and the study fell silent.

Soon, the two of them blew out the light in the study and left.

Shortly after the two left, a stealthy figure groped his way into the study.

In Changning County, there were three large pharmacies, one of which belonged to the Lin family. Lu Ming had previously learned a thing or two about the business, as he had wanted to get involved in the medicinal materials business.

He didn't expect that he would come to the Lin family this time.

I just heard from them that the Lin family will sell some loose medicines to replace monster meat, which means that the effects of these medicines are likely to be similar to those of [Yangyuan Dan].

I was just worrying about how troublesome it was to eat so much food every day, and now this is like a pillow being given to me when I feel sleepy.

Lu Ming searched the entire study. If there really was any prescription or something like that, it was most likely hidden in the study.
