Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 154: How could there be such a deceptive setting?

Inside Chunhua Tower, Song Shu received a system notification: "Ding, you have joined the hidden sect Chunhua Sect and obtained the status of a Chunhua Sect disciple."

Song Shu was dumbfounded.

What the hell is the Chunhua faction? How did I end up joining it? Where exactly did Lu Chaoding put me?

Four burly men still held Song Shu to the ground. At this moment, the madam walked over, squatted down, patted Song Shu's face, and said, "Once you're in my Chunhua Brothel, you'd better stay put. You'll start as a pimp, and from now on, you'll be responsible for welcoming guests, serving tea and water! Don't even think about running away!"

After saying that, the madam reached out and flicked Song Shu's forehead. Song Shu felt a cool sensation on his forehead, as if he had been splashed with ice water.

"Ding! You have obtained the special title [Spring Flower Pavilion Pimp]. This title will be automatically displayed when you are in the Spring Flower Pavilion."

"Ding! You have been placed under the Life and Death Talisman by Madam Hua. Your life and death are now controlled by Madam Hua, and your resurrection point is forcibly bound to the Hongchen Sword Stele at Chunhua Tower!"

"Damn it, how could there be such a rip-off setting! This is going to ruin me!" Song Shu muttered, feeling even more annoyed as he recalled Lu Chaoding's words earlier.

The madam continued, "Don't say I'm not giving you a chance. Work hard, and if you do well, you can get promoted. Once you're able to come out and solicit customers, you'll earn gold coins. With gold coins, you can buy your freedom. I won't ask for more; 500 million will be enough. If you find a wealthy customer, he might even buy your freedom. If you don't want to come out and solicit customers, there are other options. If you do well as a pimp, you can be promoted to bodyguard. I might even be able to teach you some skills. Look at your four senior brothers; aren't they strong? They were all taught by me!"

At this point, the madam waved her hand, and the four two-meter-tall burly men released Song Shu.

Song Shu's eyes widened, and he immediately drew the nunchucks from his waist.

"I'll fucking fight you to the death!"

He jumped up to hit the madam, who gave a cold smile. Then Song Shu felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, a real pain, as if his intestines were being ripped apart. He cried out and fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and howling in pain.

The "Four Great Vajras" jumped out again and started punching and kicking Song Shu. Strangely enough, Song Shu was beaten badly and could feel the pain, but he just didn't die.

After a while, Song Shu was beaten so badly that he was like a lump of mud, twitching on the ground and unable to get up at all.

This was a feeling he had never experienced since entering the game, and it also gave rise to a sense of frustration and depression he had never felt before.

"Lu Chao, damn it, don't give me a chance!"

He grunted.

Just then, Lu Chaoding returned to Chunhua Brothel. The madam immediately greeted him with a beaming smile, saying, "Master Lu has returned! Perhaps you wish to have some fun here with me again? That damned pimp, hurry and make some tea!"

Song Shu groaned, unable to get up.

"Useless thing, drag it away!"

The "Four Great Protectors" then carried Song Shu out the back door as if he were a rag.

"Oh dear, is it that bad?"

Lu Chao glanced at Song Shu's miserable appearance and was somewhat surprised. He shook his head and said, "Madam Hua, I'm new to Tianyun City and don't know anyone here. I'd like to find a guide. I wonder if you could help me?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing!"

The madam chuckled and snapped her fingers, and another burly man jumped out.

"Go, bring Mo Chengzhi here!" The madam ordered the burly man, then smiled and said to Lu Chao, "Sect Leader Lu, please rest for a while. Mo Chengzhi has been running around Tianyun City since he was a child, and he knows this city very well. It would be most suitable for him to be your guide."

"Is that so?"

The madam's actions clearly took Lu Chaoding by surprise once again.

Soon, a thin, ragged young NPC with bright eyes was brought to Lu Chaoding's side.

【莫承志：LV10，生命值1000、攻击力100、韧性2、防御2、速度100。天运城内出名的小混混，聪慧果断、与众不同，拥有特殊能力组队带路。】

"Team up and lead the way?" Lu Chaoding secretly paid attention. NPCs with names and identities are not simple. Most of them have storylines to explore and are more intelligent and easier to communicate with than ordinary NPCs.

"Alright, he's the one!" Lu Chao nodded, then took out his Qian Yuan Token, swiped it at the madam, and handed her a dollar, saying, "This is a tip!"

The madam was incredibly excited, exclaiming, "One dollar! It's actually one dollar! I only did a small favor, and Master Lu is giving me such a huge reward! No, that's too much. I don't feel at ease taking it. Please, tonight, let me serve Master Lu!"

"Goodbye!"

Lu Chaoding quickly pulled Mo Chengzhi away from Chunhua Tower.

As soon as Lu Chaoding left Chunhua Tower, he received a system notification: "Ding, Mo Chengzhi has invited you to join the team. Do you agree?"

"Wow, you're really something else!"

Lu Chaoding looked Mo Chengzhi over carefully again before accepting his invitation to join his team.

Mo Chengzhi bowed respectfully to Lu Chao and asked, "May I ask what your orders are, sir?"

Lu Chao retorted, "Please act as my guide. Tell me about Tianyun City, where there are special shops, where I can get hidden quests... Can you understand me?"

Mo Chengzhi nodded and said, "I understand! But..."

He suddenly knelt down in front of Lu Chao and said, "For Madam Hua to be so respectful, you must be an extremely powerful figure, sir. If I'm not mistaken, the Heavenly-level patrol ship hovering above Tianyun Square must be yours, sir. I was impetuous; I kowtow to you, sir, and beg you to avenge me!"

"What's going on?" Lu Chao was a little stunned. "I just wanted a guide, what revenge am I looking for?"

Mo Chengzhi indeed began to kowtow, and said, "To tell you the truth, my real name is Li Chengzhi. My father was Li Yanjing, the former city lord of Tianyun City. Three years ago, the despicable Wu Sanyuan conspired with the Tianjian Sect to kill my father. He not only usurped the position of city lord, but also killed all 36 members of my Li family. I faked my death and escaped the calamity. I changed my name to Mo Chengzhi and wandered the streets! If you, sir, can avenge this blood feud for me, I am willing to give you my family heirloom."

"Ding! Special opportunity quest triggered: [Lord of Tianyun City] Accept Li Chengzhi's commission to kill Wu Sanyuan, the Lord of Tianyun City. After completing the quest, you will receive Li Chengzhi's family heirloom."

"The unreliable system occasionally activates, tracking and updating tasks, and altering their content: Accept Li Chengzhi's commission to kill Wu Sanyuan. Upon completion of the task, you will receive the family heirloom of Li Chengzhi, the city lord of Tianyun City!"

"Li Chengzhi, the city lord of Tianyun City... Could it be that by killing Wu Sanyuan, this guy can become the city lord of Tianyun City?"

Lu Chao narrowed his eyes and asked, "What is your family heirloom?"

Li Chengzhi said, "The Heavenly Mandate Mirror!"

"What's the use?"

"I don't know. But my father once said that this treasure is worth a fortune!"

"A mere ten thousand gold pieces? Do you know that my Heavenly-class Sky Patrol Ship is worth a billion!" Lu Chao chuckled, then added, "However, seeing your great fortune, I believe you have the makings of a city lord. I'll help you with this!"
