Chapter 0001: The Heroic Swordsman System

No tasks

Upon hearing Yin Cheng's response, Shen Lian's lips curled into a faint smile, which took Yin Cheng by surprise. Since he entered the Ming Shifang Hundred House, he had rarely seen the Hundred House Lord smile, yet today he unexpectedly smiled for no apparent reason

Chen Hao was completely absorbed in thoughts of the hero system and the movie plot, unaware that Shen Lian had already approached him.

Shen Lian merely nodded slightly, his handsome face still expressionless. His stern gaze swept over the group of school lieutenants, landing on a lieutenant named Shen Changqing behind them.

[Martial Arts] Military Physical Training Fist (Minor Achievement, Upgradable) Triangular Military Dagger Technique (Minor Achievement, Upgradable)

"Yes, sir!" Yin Cheng said cautiously, his eyes reflecting a hint of fear as he looked at Shen Lian.

Storage space: 1 cubic meter (can be upgraded using hero points)

[Identity, Background] The protagonist, Shen Lian, is a lieutenant in the Jinyiwei.

This is a training ground specifically designated for the training of the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty's Fangbai household. However, this vast training ground has only two or three individuals diligently practicing, while the others are engaged in laughter and conversation, their words filled with references to courtesans and brothels

A series of loud footsteps drew closer, yet it did not disturb the jovial conversation of the young officers

Shen Lian remained silent, and no one dared to interrupt. For a moment, all eyes in the room were focused on Shen Changqing.

Upon noticing Shen Lian standing at the door, the two immediately greeted him, and naturally, the others were also stirred and hurried to greet Yin Cheng

Yin Cheng clapped his hands twice to signal everyone to be quiet, and at the same time, with a respectful expression, pointed at Shen Lian and introduced, "This is our Baihu's Shen Baihu. You have not yet met him as he was away on official business a few days ago. Hurry up and come to pay your respects!"

Shen Lian cast a cold glance at the chatting lieutenants, without making any move. He merely asked casually; he only wanted to fulfill his duties as a hundred households, and whatever others did had nothing to do with him.

Indeed, his father is named Shen Yigao, and he is named Shen Changqing said Yin Cheng

What pleased Chen Hao the most was the arrangement of identities. Shen Lian is one of the top experts in the art of the Spring Knife, and having him as a younger brother is, for Chen Hao, who is obsessed with Chinese martial arts, akin to gaining an excellent conversation partner

Like in the novel, the reborn Chen Hao also possesses a golden finger, which is the侠客 system in his mind

Are these all just added yesterday? Shen Lian crossed his arms, the embroidered spring knife nestled in the crook of his arm, his handsome face filled with a cold expression, and his sharp eyes coldly fixed on Yin Cheng beside him

Shen Lian, the hundred-household of the Jinyiwei, walked into the training ground with a blank expression, accompanied by Yin Cheng, a junior flag bearer of the Jinyiwei

Departure time: can leave at any time (return address unknown)

Fortunately, he is an orphan, having grown up in an orphanage since childhood, completely alone and unburdened by any ties.

Most of these individuals are the young masters sent over after receiving bribes from above, and the officials can also make a profit... Yin Cheng misunderstood Shen Lian's meaning; he thought Shen Lian despised these people, so he quietly said to Shen Lian

The one who engages in this "indecent" act is also following in his father's footsteps. His father, Shen Yigao, was once a chief flag bearer in our garrison. Later, he was assigned to Guangzhou for official duties, and he was gone for over ten years. Recently, Shen Yigao passed away in a foreign land, and his son sold off the family assets to return to the capital, filling a vacancy for a school lieutenant.

Name: Shen Changqing

The capital city in July is much cooler than in previous years, unlike the unbearable heat of the past few years

The sun rises anew

The square is quite large, with a length and width area exceeding 30 zhang. Inside the square, various types of weapons are displayed, including swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks, but the most abundant are still the 'swords'.

Yin Cheng smiled awkwardly, realizing that he had said too much. He often found himself in disputes due to his quick tongue, yet this flaw had never been corrected.

The film "The Blade of the Immortal" tells a story set during the late Ming Dynasty. In the seventh year of the Tianqi era, Shen Lian, a member of the Jinyiwei from the Northern Town Pacification Office, eliminates his colleague Ling Yunkai during a mission to eradicate rebel factions in order to save the painter Hokusai. Subsequently, he must navigate the scrutiny and investigation from Lu Wenzhao and Pei Lun while also being coerced by a mysterious woman to set fire to the Jinyiwei's experience office, obstructing the investigation by the Southern Town Pacification Office. Caught in the turmoil of the chaotic times, Shen Lian and Hokusai find themselves increasingly entangled in a web of intrigue. Behind all of this, a vast conspiracy is quietly unfolding.

The Jinyiwei system is one that places great emphasis on hierarchy and social status, and everyone present could not help but feel a sense of anxiety for Shen Changqing, while there were also those who took pleasure in his misfortune

The cultivation level is not up to standard (can be upgraded using hero points)

Clap! Clap!

Speaking of which, Chen Hao is quite satisfied with the hero system; not only are there no imposed tasks, but there is also no set deadline for returning, and certainly no annihilation of the host

The Heroic Character System

Old Zhao's son from the neighboring garrison is quite skilled, the man who practices with the sword is the one!

The Spring Knife: Shura Battlefield

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Lian, who said: "Shut up, do not speak nonsense..."

Shen Lian did not speak; he walked straight towards Shen Changqing's position. Yin Cheng, somewhat curious, followed behind Shen Lian, and the crowd spontaneously made way for him.

Everyone turned to follow his gaze, and in the next moment, they were all astonished. Shen Changqing actually ignored their hundred-house officer and continued to lie on the ground, performing that indecorous action.

The man lifting the stone is called Xiao Yang, and he is the son of our old Xiao from the garrison

"This is..." Yin Cheng's lips twitched slightly. The third person he was pointing at was currently engaged in a rather inexplicable action, supporting himself with both hands on the ground, his body rising and falling in a manner that was far from graceful. Next to him, several well-dressed officers were pointing and commenting on his movements.

The fiery morning sun rises like a slowly ascending lantern, casting countless rays of golden light that illuminate the mountains and rivers of the land

Chen Hao was originally an auxiliary police officer at a border police station between Yun and Myanmar. During an operation to apprehend a criminal, he accidentally fell off a cliff. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the world of the late Ming Dynasty, where the story of the "Embroidered Spring Knife" unfolds

The "Hundred Household Office" of the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty is particularly lively today, with more than ten Jinyi officers dressed in flying fish robes standing in the square of the Hundred Household Office, linking arms and chatting cheerfully, showing no trace of the solemnity that the Imperial Guards should possess.

"You said his father is named Shen Yigao?" When Yin Cheng introduced the first two individuals, Shen Lian maintained a blank expression, but when Yin Cheng mentioned Shen Yigao, Shen Lian's eyelids involuntarily twitched.

"Adults should not only focus on these individuals; our Hundred House has indeed supplemented quite a few children from the garrison this time." Yin Cheng pointed to the several embroidered-uniformed lieutenants who were training in order to alleviate the earlier awkwardness.

Under the gaze of so many people, Chen Hao remained completely unperturbed, as he was entirely unaware of his surroundings. On the surface, he was doing push-ups, but in reality, all his thoughts were immersed in the mysterious system within his mind

I have met with the hundred households. Everyone quickly bowed and paid their respects, for the hundred households of the Jinyiwei hold the official rank of the sixth grade, which is two levels higher than that of an ordinary county magistrate. Moreover, the Jinyiwei are the imperial troops directly under the Emperor.

Two meters away from Shen Changqing, Shen Lian stopped in his tracks. He did not disturb Shen Changqing, who continued to engage in inappropriate actions, but merely looked on with an expressionless face

No martial arts

... ...

Step! Step! Step!

Yin Xiaoqi is good

[Hero Points] None (Slaying those who commit numerous evils can earn Hero Points)

Those who spend money to enter, although they have some wealth at home, are far inferior to the hundred households of the Jinyiwei. The status of merchants in the Ming Dynasty is indeed not high

He was about to reprimand when he saw Shen Lian make a gesture for silence
