The Ancestral Legacy Begins in the Wild West

When Wu Fan first heard Zhang Chang'an's underlings asking their boss for territory, he didn't understand what was going on.

It took him a moment to realize that Zhang Chang'an wanted to rent a venue from him.

Although Fan Ge also personally performs stunts, his actual work is completely different from Zhang Chang'an and the others. He actually prefers behind-the-scenes work to taking the lead.

From this position, he can see a lot.

For example, truly virtuous and talented veteran artists, or actors who are both famous and widely recognized, are harder to find than a three-legged toad. But he has seen quite a few outstanding extras like Zhang Chang'an who, given the opportunity, gradually begin to show their abilities.

But Zhang Chang'an chose this path, and then immediately began to retire while he was still at the peak of his career, considering transitioning to a behind-the-scenes role, which is a bit abstract.

"I didn't expect you to be so serious, but then again, that's just your personality." As he spoke, Brother Fan handed over some identification documents and files.

"It's a general-purpose film studio, converted from a factory. It can be used for green screen shooting, set construction, and all the location data and other information are here."

"Let me make this clear first, since this is a business matter, you need to be serious. Don't trust me too much, or you'll have nowhere to cry if something goes wrong."

Two days later, Zhang Chang'an remained quite calm. After all, he had personally inspected the venue, and standing in the enormous studio, he simply pointed behind him and said, "Don't worry, we must be meticulous."

Behind him, a lawyer in his thirties who looked quite professional took the documents from him and began to examine them.

Fan Ge was still somewhat surprised by his move, but he was also getting used to it: "It reminds me a bit of my school days."

"You know, although you don't think you can really become an athlete or a star, you really put in the effort to learn anything well."

Zhang Chang'an did not respond to his sentiments, but Fan Ge was right. After all, he had made a decision, so he would naturally take it seriously.

As Fan Ge said, this venue is one of his properties, which Zhang Chang'an rented.

This is because he only has about 50 yuan in money right now. Although the family genealogy can give him unlimited possibilities for the future, he cannot expect every ancestor to be a boss like Yongren Gong.

Therefore, this kind of venue-based industry, which only requires renting to commercial photography teams and film crews to make money, is very suitable for a hands-off manager like him.

More importantly, he himself needs a large enough space.

His apartment isn't far from here, and this photography studio, unless business suddenly booms in the future, will always have some free time during the day.

At that time, this soundproof and enormous space will be perfect for him to practice his boxing and cultivate his skills.

Even his equipment, although it could be stored in the special space provided by the family tree so that it wouldn't be discovered, was still in a worn-out state as an inheritance.

This requires him to maintain it himself, so he may need a machine workshop in the future.

"And besides, I really can't act as often anymore..."

With more skills, Zhang Chang'an might get more work, but if he always aims for supporting roles or extra roles, he'll often find himself without work because he's stuck in the middle.

This is exactly the state he needs now: not taking on casual work, but instead focusing more on the family genealogy.

Even regarding the studio, he might not manage too much himself; he might hire someone to take care of it later.

Zhang Chang'an pondered for a moment and quickly completed the signing of the contract.

He has other things to do, namely, to promote his status.

He delayed this matter for a few days until he had adjusted his mental and physical state before finally starting to work on it.

Now, he slowly closed the studio door, turned around, and the lights shining on the green screen cast a long shadow of him.

"Current head of the family: Zhang Chang'an."

"Position: Variegated (36.87%)".

"Time-space fragments: 2800".

"Skills: [Eye of Killing Intent] (Excellent) [Hongmen Body Nourishing Technique] (Excellent) [Martial Arts Self-Defense Technique] (Good) [Miscellaneous Martial Arts of Guangzhou] (Common) [Basic Cowboy Skills] (Common)."

"Item: Jack the Ripper Frame Fragment (Good)"

"Unmaintained items: [Nameless - Steam Armor] (Good), Steam Retractable Steel Knife (Common), M1889 Revolver (Common)."

"Can devour Jack the Ripper shards (Killer)."

"Selected, in the process of being devoured."

As Zhang Chang'an watched these words slowly appear, a large number of rapidly flashing images suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The phantom of Jack the Ripper seemed to appear before him once again.

This time, however, he was missing most of his body and appeared completely ethereal. Only his speed and unpredictability remained unchanged; the blade in his hand, seemingly able to reach a vital spot in the blink of an eye, was as sharp as ever.

Zhang Chang'an almost subconsciously lowered his stance and spread his arms in preparation for battle, until the phantom pounced on him and disappeared in front of him.

"Disassembling this cell fragment is in progress."

"Level of gradation slightly diminished: Noise level (32.9%)"

"Type of Inheritance: Assassin (Self-developed, without a specific lineage of mentorship; born from Jack the Ripper's morbid view of the world, as well as his personality and methods; a cold and insane method of killing.)"

Disassembly capability:

[Assassination Aura] (Good Quality) Allows you to temporarily suppress your aura and various sounds of movement. Most importantly, when you actually take action, it can exert a powerful psychological pressure on the target.

This is an ability that countless killers and assassins need to undergo complex training and dedicated research to acquire.

"[Dissection Killing] (Good Quality) As a top student who grew up in a mental hospital, he has an intimate knowledge of human anatomy. Every cut he makes precisely avoids major bones, targeting organs or arteries, leaving wounds as clean as surgical incisions..."

"[Guilty Sense] (Common) As someone who has read all kinds of philosophy books and believes himself to be an absolute villain, Jack can keenly sense the degree of a person's depravity and will to survive."

"25.39% can be integrated with martial arts inheritance, and integrated with all kinds of abilities currently available, while the rest will exist independently."

"Should we proceed with the integration?"

Zhang Chang'an took a deep breath and used the Hung Kuen style of breathing to calm himself down: "Yes."

Soon, the scene in front of Zhang Chang'an began to change rapidly. The surrounding scenery seemed to instantly return to that dark London filled with countless stenches.

He felt as if his mind had been suddenly and violently impacted, as if his brain was about to be torn apart. He unconsciously furrowed his brows and clenched his teeth.

"what……"

"The sense of guilt has been integrated into the Eye of Murder, and your ability to perceive the malice and emotions of others will be greatly enhanced."

"The dissection and killing have been dissected; the understanding of the human body is integrated into the eye of murderous intent; the art of wielding a knife is combined with miscellaneous martial arts techniques..."
