The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

Dex chuckled, grabbed Lu Ming's robe, and began shaking him frantically while roaring, "That's the city tax collector! Do you know we're broke?! We could have made it through. Now, we've offended the tax collector, and we're all going to starve!! It's all your fault!"

Shaken by the massive Dexterity Trinity, Lu Ming soon became dizzy. He only caught a sliver of Dexterity's roar.

Fearing that Dex would tear his robes, Lu Ming broke free from his clutches and said nonchalantly, "He's just a tax collector! He's not some lord or anything. What's there to be afraid of?"

Then, recalling some Western stories, he asked Dex, "Is he related to the lord here?"

"No."

"Is he on good terms with the lord?"

"Not good at all."

"Then why are you afraid of him? Just complain to the lord! Since the lord and he don't get along, he'll definitely seize this opportunity to get rid of him, right?" It has to be said, Lu Ming is still too naive. Living in an era ruled by law, he has no idea how terrifying this era can be!

Moreover, Dexter shut him up with just one sentence: "He's a member of the royal family!"

Lu Ming shouted in disbelief, "What the hell?! What is a member of the royal family doing as a tax collector?!"

"Isn't it because he's an illegitimate child?"

"Um..." Gradually calming down, Lu Ming frowned, looked at Dexter, and asked, "Should we run?"

Dex glared at Lu Ming and said, "Now I'm taking you to the village chief. But remember, don't tell anyone you know him, understand? We'll talk about it later when things have calmed down. I have four kids at home!"

"Hehehe, I didn't expect you to be so fertile!" Seeing that he had gotten himself into trouble, but Dex hadn't abandoned him, Lu Ming couldn't help but smile with satisfaction and make a joke.

"That's right! I'm not bragging, but my body... wait, why am I telling you all this?"

Soon, Lu Ming was taken by Dex to the most luxurious house in the village, the village chief's house.

Looking at the small bungalow in front of him, which was so ordinary that it was even inferior to other houses in the village, yet Dex called it a luxury, Lu Ming was speechless.

"Village chief, I found this while hunting. I'm giving it to you." After knocking on the village chief's door and handing Lu Ming over to the white-haired chief, Dex left with the words, "Also, he's offended the tax collector," and ran off.

Lu Ming and the village chief watched Dex's retreating figure, carrying several magic rabbits, and were momentarily speechless.

After a while, the village chief gave Lu Ming a quick look and asked, "Judging from your attire, young man, you must be a magician, right?"

"A magician?" Lu Ming tilted his head, staring blankly at the village chief.

"You do not know?"

"Uh..." Seeing the village chief looking at him like he was an idiot, Lu Ming awkwardly touched his nose, then made up a story: "I'm a magic apprentice. But my teacher didn't tell me much about magicians or their ranks. And he told me to pretend I didn't know what a magician was..."

Because he wasn't sure if this world was like the ones in games and novels, with different professions and ranks, Lu Ming had no choice but to ask the village chief for advice.

"Oh! I see." The village chief smiled and glanced at Lu Ming before nodding slightly and explaining to him, "As far as I know, there are six levels of magicians: Magic Apprentice, Magician, Archmage, Archmage, Grand Archmage, and Spirit of Magic. To advance in level, a magician must learn a certain number of spells and reach a certain level of magical power."

"What about other professions?"

"Warriors and archers who wield various weapons and bows also have six ranks. But priests don't have these so-called ranks. They are ranked according to their status in the church. They are: priest, high priest, archpriest, blue-robed vicar general, and cardinal. There is only one pope, so there's no need to elaborate."

"Oh, I see!"

The village chief smiled slightly at Lu Ming, who looked genuinely confused but pretended to understand and uttered a sigh. Then, pointing to a house at the southernmost part of the village, he said to Lu Ming, "By the way, Dex said he picked you up. So I suppose you don't have a place to stay? But I don't have any extra rooms for you either. See that house over there?"

"I saw it."

“That’s the house of an orphan in the village. She lives there all by herself. Go and keep her company.”

Lu Ming seemed to see a sly glint in the village chief's eyes, and asked with some doubt, "Her? A girl? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"Don't worry! She's holding a martial arts contest to choose a husband tomorrow, and you can participate. Also, the tax collector came to the village today because of her. As long as you beat the tax collector in the contest tomorrow, he won't be able to do anything to you and Dex. Of course, if you don't want to marry her, you can pretend to lose to someone else after beating the tax collector."

Whether it was because he had suddenly been given a chance to find a partner, or because he didn't want the girl he had never met to marry that fat tax collector, Lu Ming agreed without thinking: "Okay! I understand."

After saying that, amidst the village chief's triumphant smile, he walked step by step toward the house.

"Child, don't blame me. I just really don't want her to harm the children in the village. So I'm sorry, please marry her!"

-------------------------------------------------- -

Lu Ming stood outside the door of the house, swallowing nervously for a while before finally mustering the courage to reach out and knock on the door.

Hearing footsteps coming from inside the door, Lu Ming became increasingly nervous. Having never dated a girl before, the thought of living with one made his heart pound like a deer's.

In this tense atmosphere, the front door of the house was opened.

At that moment, Lu Ming involuntarily held his breath. He saw a face so exquisitely beautiful it was unimaginable: small lips, a high, straight neck, skin as fair as those of a made-up beauty on television, and long, flowing golden hair. Although he didn't know why her eyes were closed, the allure of this seemingly seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl was simply too great for a shut-in like him who had never been in a relationship!

"I...I...I...I..." Lu Ming said "I" several times in a row, but he couldn't say a word.

At that moment, the girl suddenly laughed, making Lu Ming feel the warmth of the sun.

"Did the village chief send you? Please come in. Also, my name is Lily Helas. You can just call me Lily."

"I...I'm Lu Ming, you can just call me that...that's fine..." After a very nervous self-introduction, Lu Ming, with his heart pounding, went into the house with Lily.

"Your room is the second one upstairs. If you need anything, just call me. I'm right next door."

Led by Lily, Lu Ming arrived at a guest room.

His face flushed, he lowered his head, and softly replied to Lily, "Okay..."

"Hehe, don't be shy! Also, could you have dinner with me later? It's been a long time since I've had dinner with anyone." Lily, who had kept her eyes closed the whole time, smiled slightly, and without waiting for Lu Ming's reply, bowed and left the guest room to prepare dinner.

Watching Lily's retreating figure, Lu Ming couldn't help but mentally torture that fat tax collector a thousand times with the Sage's Candlestick!

'How could such a beautiful girl marry that damn fat pig of yours? Lily is definitely mine!' After only meeting her once, Lu Ming subconsciously regarded Lily as his girlfriend.

After all, even the will of the world has blessed him to find his other half as soon as possible.

But what about tomorrow's martial arts contest to find a husband?

Originally, she wanted to help make dinner, but then she suddenly remembered that Lu Ming couldn't do anything except scrambled eggs with tomatoes. So she could only lie on the hard bed in the guest room and look at the messages and tasks on her phone.

At this point, he was 10 experience points away from reaching level 3. The number of uses required to upgrade the seed machine had also increased to 165 due to the forced use of skill points.

Glancing at the grass-type skills that would either turn him into an androgynous vine monster or a leaf-like being, Lu Ming resolutely used his newly acquired beginner skill lottery ticket, praying to draw one of the dark soul spells on the scroll. Unfortunately, that was impossible!

"Fine Snow? What the heck?" Looking at the new skill book, Lu Ming tossed his phone onto the bedside table speechlessly. "Even if it's a Pokémon skill, couldn't you at least give me a skill with higher attack power? Why are they all these weakest skills?"

Just then, Lily downstairs suddenly called out, "Mr. Lu Ming, dinner's ready!"

"Here I am!" Upon hearing Lily's voice, Lu Ming, who was initially unhappy because of the Snowfall skill, immediately ran downstairs with a happy expression.

Although Lily's cooking wasn't as good as the food in the Western restaurants Lu Ming had eaten before he transmigrated, with such a beautiful woman by his side, Lu Ming proved to us that he could eat eight bowls of food!

"Is what I made to your liking?"

"Mmm! Lily's cooking is so delicious!"

"Really? Thank you!"

After dinner, Lu Ming and Lily chatted for a little while, then washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.

Lying on the bed in the guest room, Lu Ming picked up his phone and resolutely used the Snowfall skill book, which was different from Grass-type Pokémon skills and almost like the Seed Machine, with no side effects.

Chapter 3 - On the Eve of the Martial Arts Tournament (Please follow)

"Fine Snow: Using a special organ in its throat, it exhales extremely cold air that can freeze enemies."

Ice magic, originally belonging only to Ace Loyes, was spread throughout the entire continent because of an unknown undead from Ace Loyes.

Rating: 1

Mana cost: 7

"The story of Dark Souls 2? Although I haven't played it much, I still vividly remember watching those guys die like dogs back then~" Under the dim light of his phone, Lu Ming lay on the hard bed, looking at Xi Xue's skill description, and couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Ming had already tested the Fine Snow skill; 7 mana points only resulted in a gust of cold wind. So, after thinking about it, he decided to use the skill points given by the main quest on the Seed Machine, raising it to level 5.

Although the unlocking of the "Fine Snow" skill adds a few more skills to his skill tree, how can the Ice-type "White Mist" and "Black Mist," the Water-type "Play in Water" and "Shell Formation," and the Normal-type "Break Out" actually help him?

Although he didn't yet know the power of a level 5 Seed Machine, Lu Ming figured it should be able to penetrate ordinary armor. Compared to unreliable skills or wasting skill points on a level 1 Fine Snow, upgrading the Seed Machine couldn't be a mistake.

After looking at the skill bar for a while, Lu Ming opened the task bar.

At this point, there were no other tasks in the taskbar besides the main quest. Since it wasn't midnight yet and the daily tasks hadn't refreshed, Lu Ming had no choice but to drink a bottle of Elemental Ash Bottle to replenish his remaining 2 points of mana before falling asleep.

---------------------------

In the morning, Lu Ming, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the sunlight shining through the window.

He glanced at his phone and saw it was only 6 a.m., so he turned over, intending to sleep a little longer. But then he heard Lily preparing breakfast downstairs.

Thinking to himself how he could possibly get up later than a girl, he immediately flipped himself out of bed, hurriedly put on his shoes, and ran to the bathroom to wash up.

But when he finished washing up and sat down at the dining table with his phone, he suddenly discovered that the World Will, who had sent him a message before, had sent him another message.

"For some reason, I drew a skill from you again. To compensate you, I've put a clothing lottery ticket in your inventory. I hope you have better luck."

Sender: The Will of the World: Puru~

"Ugh~ Why do all these guys like cute things?"

"Cute? What's that?" Lu Ming exclaimed, moved by the information from the world's will, Plu~. Lily, however, overheard him and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I can't really explain it, but I think you look kind of cute right now." Lu Ming couldn't explain what cute meant, but Lily's puzzled look was indeed adorable.

"Mengmeng?" Lily still looked puzzled, not understanding what Lu Ming was saying. However, she didn't care and quickly went to prepare breakfast again.

At this moment, Lu Ming also took the opportunity while Lily was making breakfast to check the clothing lottery ticket given by the World Will.

"Clothing lottery ticket: You can use this to draw a pretty nice outfit."

It is said that these were treasures bestowed upon knights and saintesses by the Sunshine Princess. However, due to the uncertainty, clothing that did not match their status was often found, and the knights and saintesses treated them as collectibles.

A hint from Plu: This draw only yields men's clothing~

"Hehe...hehehe...hehehehe..." Amidst a series of silly laughs that Lily found strange, Lu Ming clicked to use it.

Lu Ming glanced briefly at the clothing names on the scroll wheel, then resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes. He knew that at this point, looking was worse than not looking at all. Based on his previous lottery experiences, he was certain that the item he won would be something incredibly valuable. But the system would never give it to him!

In the end, Lu Ming drew a suit consisting of a white shirt, a blue jacket, black pants, and leather boots.

"Greedy Crystals: Clothes and boots made from the silk of spiders that feed on crystal lizards and the skin of crystal lizards."

It was once the civilian uniform of the Undead Legion at Farron Keep, but was cursed due to the Undead Legion's [unspecified reason]. It enhances dark magic, ghost magic, and evil magic.

"Was this the outfit the Lord of Cinder once wore?" To Lu Ming, this outfit didn't seem like much, but thinking about the clothes worn by Dex, the village chief, and Lily, it was almost as magnificent as the clothes worn by that fat tax collector.

"Lily, I'm going to change my clothes, I'll be down in a bit." After telling Lily, Lu Ming went upstairs to change.
