There was an old saying in China!
Pick up a sesame seed and throw away a watermelon.
The meaning behind it was to teach people not to be obsessed with the small gains in front of them. They had to broaden their horizons and look at the entire situation to avoid losing more precious things.
To Happy, the Refined Steel Sword and money on Li San were the sesame seed, and Li San himself was the watermelon!
In his previous life …
In truth, quite a number of new players learned of this strategy later on, but when they tortured the local rascals until they were completely exhausted, they did not even think about killing the local rascals for the Refined Steel Sword, the manual, and the hundreds of taels of silver crumbs.
But later on, when they went up to the local rascals, they either started hiding from them or refused to reveal their true nature as a rascal no matter what. They were like normal NPCs, so the local rascals did not have the chance or reason to attack them.
The fight against Li San had drained him of his strength. If Happy walked over and used his ninth realm Shaolin's Long Fist to deliver a heavy blow, he could easily kill Li San and obtain the hundreds of taels of silver crumbs and the Refined Steel Sword.
But Happy did not attack.
He pretended that he was completely exhausted and rested on the spot for a while while gasping for breath. Then, he cast a glance at Li San, who had also recovered some strength but was glaring at him fiercely. He turned around resolutely and quickly ran out of Li San's field of vision to return to the city.
As long as Li San did not die, all the local rascals in World of Martial Arts would not receive the news and would not be afraid of him. Perhaps the next time they met, they would even shout, "I'm going to cripple you!" and charge at him recklessly.
That was what Happy needed!
When he returned to the city, Happy checked his status.
Player: Happy
Arm Strength: 27, Affinity: 18, Comprehension: 26, Body Movement: 21
Shaolin's Long Fist placed an emphasis on strength, so Happy was not surprised that his Arm Strength had increased by three points. His Body Movement had also increased by one point because he had been fighting against wild wolves over this period of time.
Also, his Comprehension had finally increased!
Shaolin's Long Fist had entered the ninth realm, and it brought with it the faint sound of thunder. His hard work over the past few days had not been in vain. Now, he finally had a martial art that he could use.
Happy released a relaxed sigh, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
If he put the level of Shaolin's Long Fist into South China Martial Arts Ranking Board, he should be able to get into the top thirty or twenty.
None of that mattered.
From the ninth realm onwards, it would become more and more difficult to advance. From level 80 to level 90 in the tenth realm, the process was as difficult as the speed of a tortoise. It was no longer something that could be broken through quickly by relying on small tricks. And from level 90 to the eleventh realm, level 99.99, it was even more difficult to reach the Grandmaster Realm.
There were currently no suitable sparring partners for all of these …
Even if he did, since his qi was low, he would face a high risk of dying. Hence, Happy decided to set aside Shaolin's Long Fist and start researching another martial art.
When he returned to Murong Mansion, he found the butler in the front yard.
In the front yard, the young men and women he had seen many times these days were still doing their own things in the front yard. They were chopping firewood, watering the flowers, or practicing the basic mantra taught by the housekeeper. They did not disturb each other.
When the butler noticed Happy approaching him, he put on a pleasant expression and turned around.
The lady has already told me about you. Right now, since you're a disciple of Murong Clan, are you prepared to do your part for Murong Clan's great cause of domination? "When she reached the end of her sentence, her expression gradually turned stern.
The people who were working in the front yard had incredulous expressions on their faces.
They had worked so hard, but they were only temporarily working in Murong Clan as normal laborers. They had yet to pass Murong Clan's test and become true disciples of Murong Clan.
When they saw that the new boy who often went in and out of the inner court had become a disciple before them and was about to receive the clan quests from Murong Clan, they were instantly filled with envy and jealousy.
Happy ignored the gazes around him and wrapped his fist in his palm.
"Is there anything you need me to do?"
"Yes."
The butler nodded in satisfaction.
"This is what happened! Recently, there has been a rumor circulating in Gusu City that a group of tomb robbers has come from the north. Quite a number of royal tombs have been opened, and the treasures buried with them are all gone. Even though the patrols from Six Doors have sent out quite a number of people, they are only protecting the tombs of the royal family and the government officials. Over the past few days, I have been very worried. If anything happens to the tombs of Murong Clan, as the butler of Murong Clan, I will not be able to absolve myself from the blame! "
He stopped talking for a moment before he looked at Happy.
"That's why I've decided to send you to investigate. Once night falls, you will guard the place. If you find any tomb robbers, fire this signal, and I will bring people over."
"Understood!"
Right when he finished speaking, Happy immediately heard the system notification.
[Received quest to track down tomb robbers. Level: unknown. Reward: unknown.]
'Unknown quest?'
This meant that the quest might be very simple, but it might also increase in difficulty as the plot developed. It was a quest with variables.
Usually, this sort of quest was not easy to complete!
When he heard the system notification, Happy did not say anything. He cautiously received the signal from the butler and put it away. Without another word, he bade farewell to the butler. By then, the sky was already dark, and there was quite a distance between this place and the cemetery outside the city. He was very pressed for time.
Once Happy left, the group of people in the front yard broke the silence.
"How did he become a disciple of Murong Clan so quickly?"
"That's right. I even came a few days earlier than him."
"Damn it …"
"It's so unfair!"
A few of the veterans found it a little unfair.
"Unfair? Who knows? Didn't the official website say that? There are plenty of things in World of Martial Arts that rely on luck? He might be luckier than us. Aren't we the same? Compared to the people outside, isn't it also a form of luck for us to be able to enter Gusu City's Murong Clan? You can't possibly allow someone to be luckier than us, right? "
A teenager who had never complained since the start spoke with a smile.
From the moment Happy appeared to the moment he left, he had been quietly watering the plants. The only change in him was that the persistence and determination in his eyes had become even stronger!
"What's the use of luck?!" The player who spoke first snorted in an incredibly serious manner. "When the day comes that I become a disciple of the Murong Clan, I'll be the first to chase after him! What luck? Let's see how long he can be smug in front of me! "
"…"
The others stopped talking and stopped complaining. Their eyes sparkled, and they trained even harder.
…
The Murong Clan's tomb was different from normal tombs!
Every member of the Murong Clan, regardless of whether they were men or women, was a famous powerful martial artist in the world of martial artists. When they were alive, they were heroes, and when they died … they were mighty ghosts! That was why even the tombs were connected to form a sword tomb!
Huge swords and brushes stood erect on the tombs! They went deep underground, and they were connected to each other by steel chains that were as thick as a thumb. Along with the exquisite and grand square stone tomb, the entire tomb instantly turned into a battlefield filled with sword qi!
However, under the moonlight, a few sneaky figures destroyed the awe-inspiring and solemn atmosphere!
