Evil of all ages

Chapter 227 Rewards Have Been Distributed

"Three people died; besides his younger brother and sister, there are four others left."

"Just like my introverted younger brother, he ignores the system like he's a wolf in sheep's clothing."

"He had just mastered a divine skill and left the mountain when he was surrounded by his enemies and their men. He escaped with a severed arm."

"A very cowardly..."

"..."

"All sorts of problems are popping up. Is the system too advanced for the natives?"

"It's just that their luck is bad; they're simply not fortunate enough to benefit from the system."

Huang Taichu muttered to himself for a moment, then stopped thinking about it.

He specifically chose those who were jilted, abandoned, or had their opportunities stolen—people who seemed like "protagonists"—to receive the first batch of systems.

Since they can't handle it, it doesn't matter.

At most, the second batch of systems will arrive, and they will bestow favors upon more people with powerful backgrounds.

The third batch of systems should be made known to the world, and a competition for them should begin.

"Di Qingtian was really stupid. He tried to use his own life to awaken He Jiahan, who had been 'brainwashed,' and was shot through the shoulder by He Jiahan."

"Now that people are trapped in Red Mist Valley, Li Feiyan, upon receiving the news, had no choice but to leave the capital to rescue Di Qingtian."

"What follows is a war between two women."

"I love watching this spectacle."

Huang Taichu cracked sunflower seeds, watching the conflict on Di Qingtian's side from a god-like perspective.

The next day

"Getting lost is so frustrating."

"If I have enough points, I will definitely exchange them for magical items from the system to prevent getting lost."

Huang Yunyou set off in one direction as soon as it was light, but by the afternoon he still hadn't encountered a single person, which made him quite frustrated.

I once doubted whether I was directionally challenged.

Until the sun was about to set.

Huang Yunyou used his light-footed skill to leap to the top of a tree, looked around, and was considering whether to change direction.

Suddenly his eyes widened in surprise, then instantly turned to delight.

"someone"

He saw the person; judging from his attire, he must be a hunter who had gone up the mountain to hunt.

"jump"

Huang Yunyou didn't hesitate at all, as if he was afraid that the hunter would suddenly disappear before his eyes.

Using his lightness skill, he leaped swiftly towards the hunter, stepping on treetops and branches.

"Fu"

Huang Yunyou's landing startled the hunter.

"Don't be afraid, I am a martial artist who roams the martial world..."

Huang Yunyou saw that the more he explained, the more frightened the hunter became, realizing that martial artists were generally seen as superior beings by the villagers.

Some martial artists even enjoy bullying the weak.

Knowing that his presence terrified the hunter, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered that he still had the waist tag of the previous swordsman on him.

He quickly took it out to show that he was the one who had written the knife.

The hunter's fear subsided only when he heard that the other person was the swordsmith.

Upon learning that Huang Yunyou was simply lost, the hunter warmly led him to the wooden hut he had built on the mountain.

This indicates that it's getting dark, and it's not safe to walk back to the village at night, so they have to spend the night on the mountain.

Huang Yunyou said there was no problem.

The hunter was about to take out the dried meat he had hidden in the wooden house to treat Huang Yunyou, but Huang Yunyou stopped him.

They shared the lynx and rabbit meat they had hunted with the hunters.

First, people in the martial arts world should not eat things given to them by strangers.

Secondly, he realized that the dried meat the hunter had taken out was someone's emergency rations.

Furthermore, the hunter had just gone up the mountain and hadn't caught anything yet, and taking him back to the village the next day meant that the other party would return empty-handed.

Fortunately, three years ago he followed Brother Li to loot corpses and obtained a lot of silver. Although he bought a lot of living supplies, he still had some loose silver on him.

When I return to the village tomorrow, I'll give this hunter some silver as compensation.

Nothing in the night

The next day, at daybreak, after a simple meal of lynx meat, Huang Yunyou descended the mountain led by a hunter.

Afternoon
Huang Yunyou followed the hunter to Cat Village.

The village is small, with only about twenty households.

Huang Yunyou took out some loose silver and gave it to the hunter.

"My lord, you mustn't, you mustn't..."

Since Huang Yunyou was a martial artist, it was not at all inappropriate for the hunter to call him "sir".

Upon seeing the silver coins handed to him by the adult, the hunter hurriedly cried out that he should not accept them.

“Uncle Liu, you are not alone. Your family of seven is waiting for you to support them. I have delayed your hunting, and this is the compensation you deserve.”

Huang Yunyou said calmly.

"Sir, it didn't cause any delay; it was just going up and down the mountain."

Hunter Liu dared not accept it and repeatedly refused. "Uncle Liu, I hate being rejected more than anything in my life."

Huang Yunyou deliberately made his tone a little cold.

Seeing the warrior's slight dissatisfaction, the hunter had no choice but to accept the silver.

Are there any vacant houses in the village?

Through Uncle Liu, Huang Yunyou learned that the nearest county to Mao'er Village was Qishan County, which was more than forty miles away.

There are no horses in the village, and if we set off at this time, it would probably be dark by the time we reach Qishan County, by which time the city gates would be closed.

We decided to spend the night in the village and set off early the next morning.

"Yes, I'll go find the village chief right away."

Soon, the village chief was summoned, and with Uncle Liu acting as an intermediary, Huang Yunyou was given an empty room to rest in.

Night falls
Huang Yunyou was preparing to rest.

The system is online.

"Ding...ding...ding..."

Temporary mission: Eliminate invading bandits!

"Reward 1: One month of True Qi!"

"Reward 2: 10 points!"

"Punishment for mission failure: Be struck by lightning!"

The system issues a task.

Huang Yunyou was startled when the system suddenly spoke, as he had not yet gotten used to its presence.

"Bandits? And they even have points?"

Before Huang Yunyou could think it through, the sound of bandits entering the village came from outside.

Huang Yunyou drew his sword and walked out, approaching the bandits.

They discovered that there were only about thirty bandits, and the strongest among them was only a second-rate martial artist.

He drew his sword and started slashing wildly.

In a short time, all the bandits were killed by Huang Yunyou.

The second-rate martial artist also brought Huang Yunyou a horse.

"Ding-dong, mission complete!"

"Rewards have been issued!"

"Please receive this message with a thought, host!"

System audio channels.

"It's over, it's over..."

Huang Yunyou's attention was not yet focused on the system; the emotions of the surrounding villagers first drew his attention away.

It was as if he shouldn't have killed the bandits.

Confused, he asked the village chief what was going on.

"My lord, you are unaware of the truth..."

The village chief described the situation they were facing.

It turned out that these bandits were from Erniu Mountain, and there were more than a hundred bandits on Erniu Mountain.

More than thirty bandits died here, and these villagers are afraid of retaliation.

"I think we should move to another village."

Some villagers, fearing retaliation, suggested...

"Why move to another village? I'll take care of the rest of the bandits for you."

Huang Yunyou felt that since they had already taken action, they should kill them all cleanly to rid the people of this scourge.

"Ding...ding...ding..."

Mission: Anniu Mountain bandits!

"Reward 1: Three months of True Qi!"

"Reward 2: 20 points!"

"Punishment for mission failure: Be struck by lightning!"

Huang Yunyou was surprised; he hadn't expected the mission to come about this way.

"Sir, really?"

The villagers thought that Huang Yunyou had killed someone and then just walked away.

Unexpectedly, Huang Yunyou was willing to resolve the remaining troubles.

This excited them greatly, since no one wanted to leave their hometown.

"I am the ghostwriter, it is my duty to rid the people of evil."

"However, I don't know the way up Erniu Mountain, so you'll have to find someone to take me up."

"I used up a lot of energy killing the bandits just now, and I need to adjust my condition."

"While you have this little bit of time, pick someone to take me to Erniu Mountain."

After saying that, Huang Yunyou went inside.

He wasn't adjusting his condition at all; killing over thirty bandits, what kind of exertion could he possibly have?
It's just about going inside to claim the system rewards.
