Chapter 3: Pan Jinlian Meets Wu Dalang

Inside, there is a string of bright pearls, along with three to five shiny golden beads

Pan Jinlian shook her head: "My lord, I do not have such fortune! Moreover, if the lady finds out, she will kill me!"

Zhang Dahu missed his target and, in a fit of shame and anger, threatened: "You wretched maid, if you continue to obstruct me like this, I will marry you off to that three-inch-tall, Gu Shupi from the county, ensuring that you will never be able to turn your life around!"

Wang Lin scoffed disdainfully, yet continued to chew on the remaining chicken leg, finishing it off in just a few bites before discarding the bones. Without further ado, he charged forward and delivered another kick, but only managed to send Bai Er staggering.

As long as she stays by Yu's side, she is very safe

Pan Jinlian's charming face changed suddenly as she recalled Wang Lin's words. She pressed her red lips tightly together, remained silent, and turned to leave.

... ...

This wealthy family possesses vast fortunes, with rice stored in abundance, gold shining in yellow, and silver gleaming in white, making them the richest in the county. However, they have no children to inherit their immense wealth.

... ...

He suddenly sat up and shouted, "Jin Lian, come here!"

Pan Jinlian immediately took two or three steps back, "My lord, the lady is still waiting for me to respond."

Wuda was taken aback, wanting to help but not daring to do so, he could only rub his hands and step aside: "My lady, what are you doing? Quickly get up, let us speak slowly!"

Today, the business at Wuhan University is particularly good

His pancake stall is almost a landmark of Qinghe County, but it is not too conspicuous

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, fresh and delicious

Bai Ergou bent down, covering his crotch, sweating profusely from the pain, gritting his teeth and cursing: "Damn it, just wait, I will make you pay for this!"

Hiss ... ...

These are the basic rules of the system he has explored so far, which are domineering and utterly illogical

Wang Lin paid no attention to Bai Er, quietly looking inward, and indeed found an additional option labeled "Quick Hands" in the skills section

With a slender waist supporting the willow, her hips resemble a full moon. The wooden hairpin she wore on her head swayed slightly, nearly piercing Wu Da's forehead.

A thought flashed through his mind

Zhang Dahu approached with a sly smile, spreading his hands wide

Pan Jinlian left a fat chicken for Wang Lin

Bai Er could never have imagined that the impoverished scholar would be so difficult to deal with. Clearly lacking in strength, he was as stubborn as yellow mud, unable to be shaken off or freed. In the end, he was unexpectedly seized by Wang Lin, who forcefully pushed him into the corner of the cell.

Neither Nu nor Linlang will ever forget the great kindness and virtue of Brother Wu throughout their lives

Bai Er let out a howl akin to that of a pig being slaughtered. Wang Lin seized the opportunity to strike a few more times, and this fellow finally felt a darkness before his eyes and fainted.

Because of eating, he felt invigorated, as if a certain vitality within him began to sprout and flourish like wild grass in summer

In the twilight years of old age, the desire for beauty remains undiminished. If it were not for the jealousy of Madam Yu, who knows how many beautiful concubines he would have taken in.

"Brother Wu, I am called Pan Jinlian, I beg you to save Lin Lang..."

Just you? A little stinky rat in the gutter?

On this street, the most famous is not the owners of the restaurants, tea houses, or pawn shops, nor is it the only popular girl in the city's brothel, but rather Wu Da, who sells steamed buns, known by the nickname: "Three-Inch Ding, Gu Shu Pi"

This body is indeed too frail; logically, he is not a match for a petty thief like Bai Er, a common street thug. However, his finely honed grappling skills and years of experience in catching thieves are sufficient to compensate for the slight disparity in physical strength

To put it plainly, what is referred to as "quick hands" is essentially the hands of a thief, primarily characterized by the speed of stealing. Of course, it is also acceptable to use them for other purposes instead of stealing, as it is better than nothing

This is the most prosperous commercial street in Qinghe County, and the county government is located on this street

the complete or partial replication of skills

Dao: "Jin Lian, if you submit to me, all of this will be yours!"

When the time was sufficient, a sensation of indescribable tingling and stretching arose in his hands. Wang Lin decisively transformed his fist into a palm and forcefully struck towards the back of Bai Er's neck.

Pan Jinlian was overjoyed and sincerely bowed down this time

Both hands felt hot, and the sensations were incredibly nimble and light... After repeated experiences for a while, I couldn't help but smile wryly

Recalling this matter, Zhang Dahu is filled with regret and hatred, wishing he could devour Wang Lin's flesh and blood

"Young lady, what is this?"

Do not concern yourself with that wife; in this household, it is still I who holds the authority

Thus, Pan Jinlian quickly found Wu Da, who was just about to enter the house while carrying a shoulder pole.

As it seemed that most of the roast chicken was about to be finished, this fellow finally could not restrain himself any longer and rushed over to snatch it.

Does fighting increase one's strength value

Ah ... ... where is my mother!

Unfortunately, Yu was too vigilant, and he never caught the opportunity, which instead benefited the impoverished scholar Wang Lin

Eating food enhances life points

He stood there with his back against the wooden bars of the cell, engrossed in devouring his food, attacking it from both sides with a ravenous appetite, almost like a whirlwind sweeping through, no different from a starving ghost fighting for scraps.

It is merely a matter of making a trip to Yuncheng County to deliver a letter, at most taking one or two days. Selling a few hundred more pancakes won't lead to starvation, so I gritted my teeth and agreed. However, I resolutely pushed the ten taels of silver back, saying, "Miss, Ling Ge'er is deeply imprisoned and needs money. I cannot accept this silver! Rest assured, I will set off for Yuncheng County early tomorrow morning and will definitely deliver the letter to Ling Ge'er."

Wuda hesitated for a while, contemplating carefully

The two individuals engaged in a fierce struggle with each other

Zhang Dahu chuckled twice and stepped forward to embrace.

... ...

Pan Jinlian expressed her heartfelt gratitude as she bid farewell to Wu Dalang, no longer daring to linger, and hurriedly returned to the Zhang residence

Additionally, the health points increased from 2 to 2.1, while the attack power changed from 2 to 2.3

Wang Linsi thought for a while and felt that the taciturn system father could not be this boring, but this was not the main concern for now; the key was how to utilize the skills that had been copied.

But with that pear tree weighing down the begonia, he fears he may not live for many more days

The person may be somewhat sleazy, but the flatbread is truly delicious

Pan Jinlian, with a shy and delicate demeanor, quickly made her intentions clear, her expression exuding charm to the utmost degree. However, she had no intention of seducing Wu Da; this was almost instinctual for her. After speaking, she stuffed Wang Lin's blood letter and the five taels of silver into Wu Da's hand

At this moment, the sound of chaotic footsteps approached, and out of the corner of Wang Lin's eye, he noticed two guards escorting a tall, fierce-looking man with a full beard coming towards him

At the age of twelve or thirteen, Pan Jinlian was sold into the Zhang family, and as she gradually grew into a graceful young woman, the old man found it increasingly difficult to contain his desires

Seeing that Wu Da seemed to have the intention of evading responsibility, Pan Jinlian's eyes brimmed with tears. Without hesitation, she decisively took out the remaining five taels of silver from her bosom and handed it over: "Brother Wu, this five taels is for your travel expenses, and this five taels is to compensate for your losses. I implore you to show some mercy and save Lin Lang!"

Pan Jinlian instinctively pulled down her veil, revealing a face that was delicate and stunningly beautiful, as if it could be broken by a gentle touch, and she pretended to kneel down

Before noon, the more than one hundred hot pancakes made early in the morning were all snatched up

Pan Jinlian looked up and saw this old man, feeling a mix of disgust and fear in her heart, yet she had no choice but to stop in her tracks

Peony Street

It cannot be merely a hollow reputation, can it

She truly did not expect that there were such short, ugly, and despicable individuals in this world, whose height only reached her waist. After a moment of hesitation, and seeing that there was no one around, she suppressed her psychological discomfort and stepped forward to block Wu Da's path

Based on his selling at least one hundred units each day, the income of Wuhan University is quite considerable, especially considering that in these times, the county officials and their assistants earn only two to three hundred wen in daily wages.

Who is Wang Lin? A professional who has dealt with thieves for many years, he has long been on guard against Bai Er. When he saw this fellow's black hand reaching out, he raised his leg and kicked hard, striking him right in the groin

At this moment, he lay on the soft couch at the entrance of the flower hall, fiddling with his scheming thoughts, watching Pan Jinlian hastily approach with her head bowed, and his thieving heart stirred once again

Although others may be ugly, Wang Lin, a neighbor with a kind heart, has encountered trouble and sought his help... Especially the beautiful young woman before him, resembling a water lily, who is crying like a child, so endearing that he finds it hard to refuse

Wu Da was at a loss for words, staring blankly for quite a while before stammering: "Miss, I have indeed heard some things about Lin Ge'er. I know that Lin Ge'er is literate and is certainly not a thief who steals from others, but I still have to sell pancakes..."

In reality, they are not cheap either, a pancake costs 3 wen.

Bai Er squatted not far away, intently watching Wang Lin as he devoured his food with wild delight, drooling with anticipation

The value of life need not be elaborated upon. If we consider intelligence value to represent innate IQ, which cannot be enhanced, and strength value to be understood as physical power, with skills serving as the means to utilize that power, then what does reputation value represent
