Chapter 6: Claiming Task Rewards

~8 min read 1,507 words

With the use of Xiang Yu's soul, Jiang Jinshi felt a warm current surge from his heart to his whole body. His hands and feet suddenly became powerful, but the scene he imagined of himself completely changing and muscles filling his whole body didn't appear.

So Jiang Jinshi looked at the Personal Information panel.

Host: Jiang Jinshi (A useless teenager with some strength)

Territory: None

Points: 0

Combat Power: 10 (Fusing with the Soul of the Overlord of Western Chu, Xiang Yu, currently reached the body's limit)

Population: 1

Jiang Jinshi secretly thought that it seemed this body couldn't bear all the power. He would have to strengthen his training and improve his constitution later to fuse more power.

But at least he wasn't a "combat power of five" anymore, which could be considered a good thing.

Looking at the other items, ten taels of silver could be considered a timely help. After all, the family was short of money, and he also needed meat to replenish his body.

The Black Jade Intermittent Ointment was easy to understand, a must-have medicine for robbing houses and looting. It wasn't useful for now, so Jiang Jinshi didn't take it out.

There was a bottle of Hundred Diseases Fading Pills, with nine pills in a bottle, which could cure most diseases. In this era where one could only wait for death when sick, it appeared particularly precious.

It was just that he didn't know if it was useful for his mother's foot injury. He made up his mind to try it when he went back.

【Doo! New task released】

【Congratulations to the ordinary useless teenager for completing the first robbery. As an ambitious young man, next, please expand your team. Successfully recruit five people to join your team and get a Random Gift Pack*1】

Looking at the task in front of him, Jiang Jinshi's eyes lit up, looking at Luo Feng who had already walked far away.

"Brother, stay your steps!"

Luo Feng had previously watched this mountain bandit in a daze, so he bypassed the other party and continued to walk with his sister on his back. Who knew that the other party would chase after him now.

This made Luo Feng's eyes full of anger, and he glared at Jiang Jinshi fiercely like this.

Jiang Jinshi pretended not to see it and mysteriously said to Luo Feng: "Young man, you are blessed!"

These words made Luo Feng confused, and he frowned impatiently: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Jiang Jinshi lowered his voice: "Have you ever heard of Black... uh... Sunshine Village?"

He originally wanted to use the name of Black Wind Village, which often appeared among mountain bandits, but thinking about it, this name wasn't easy to fool people, so it was better to change to a better one.

Luo Feng didn't understand. What did this have to do with him?

Seeing that Luo Feng didn't speak, Jiang Jinshi continued to fool him: "Although our Sunshine Village is a mountain bandit den, it is quite united internally. I see this woman on your back..."

For Luo Feng, his sister was a reverse scale that couldn't be touched. Before Jiang Jinshi finished speaking, he immediately changed his face and roared at Jiang Jinshi.

"You little thief, you dare to have ideas about my sister, I won't finish with you."

"Eh! Who has ideas about your sister? I mean, our Sunshine Village has a very precious pill that can cure your sister's illness."

Hearing that he could save his sister, Luo Feng showed joy and grabbed Jiang Jinshi's arm: "Really?"

Feeling the power coming from his arm, Jiang Jinshi's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he became more determined to pull the other party into the group.

"Pearls aren't this real. Brother, let go first. Pulling and dragging is unrefined."

Even if he didn't understand why a mountain bandit wanted to be refined, Luo Feng still let go of his hand and looked at Jiang Jinshi eagerly.

Jiang Jinshi patted his arm and didn't sell it: "As long as you join our Sunshine Village, I will let the Village Chief reward you with a pill to save your sister."

Hearing this, Luo Feng frowned, his expression somewhat hesitant: "You want me to rob houses and loot with you?"

Jiang Jinshi waved his hand: "What are you talking about? We are good mountain bandits who rob the rich to help the poor."

Hearing the term "good mountain bandit" for the first time, Luo Feng's brain crashed a bit.

Besides, just based on your behavior of robbing me of half a pancake, what does it have to do with robbing the rich to help the poor?

Seeing that Luo Feng was still hesitating, Jiang Jinshi decided to add another fire.

"Our Sunshine Village doesn't take just any crooked melons and cracked dates. If there is no introduction, you can't get in even if you want to. I'm inviting you because I see you are a man who values love and righteousness. If you miss this village, there won't be this shop."

Luo Feng thought of the promise he made to take good care of his sister before his parents died, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Good! I'll join! But I want the pill now, my sister can't hold on for too long."

Looking at the sick sister, Jiang Jinshi also understood that this matter couldn't be delayed, so he rolled his eyes.

"Our Sunshine Village is divided into peripheral members and internal members. Only by becoming an internal member can one have the qualification to ask the Village Chief for medicine."

Seeing that Luo Feng was ready to break out, Jiang Jinshi hurriedly said: "But I still have half a pill on me, I think it should be enough."

Luo Feng questioned: "Half? Can it have an effect?"

Jiang Jinshi patted his chest: "It's guaranteed, brother! You give your sister half a pill today to stabilize her condition. When I return to the mountain village tonight, I will borrow half a pill from others. You wait for me here at this time tomorrow."

Saying this was to increase his credibility and also let the other party owe him more favor.

Once these words came out, Luo Feng had no reason to refuse. If this half pill was ineffective, he wouldn't come tomorrow, and he wouldn't have to join this Sunshine Village.

If it was effective?

That would be simply too good. Being able to get life-saving medicine without seeing a doctor, such a mountain village, even if it wasn't promising, could at least mix a full stomach for the time being.

Jiang Jinshi didn't dare to tell the other party that Sunshine Village only had himself. Now that the other party hadn't boarded his pirate ship, if he went to report to the officials, it would really be "before the teacher has succeeded, the army has died."

Giving half a pill was also to prevent the other party from running away as soon as he got the medicine. He had some confidence in the things produced by the system. Giving half a pill to hang his life should be enough.

If he gave half a pill and the other party didn't come tomorrow, he would only lose half a pill. No matter in what era, if you don't scatter bait, you definitely won't catch fish.

Moreover, this kind of business that costs heads needs some benefits to buy people's hearts.

He couldn't just wave his hand and have a bunch of people swear to follow him to the death, right?

So Jiang Jinshi pretended to dig for things in his arms, secretly poured out a Hundred Diseases Fading Pill from the bottle, and then pinched it open with his fingernails.

Looking at the half-pill that was pitch black in his hand, Luo Feng suspected that this was mud rubbed off from the other party's body.

Jiang Jinshi gave the Hundred Diseases Fading Pill to the other party and waved his hand, walking toward the city.

He had money now, so he had to buy some things to take home. If it was late, he wouldn't be able to buy them.

After walking for a while, he suddenly remembered that he had chatted for a long time and didn't ask the other party's name!

Forget it, talk about it tomorrow!

Watching Jiang Jinshi leave, Luo Feng looked at the pill in his hand in a daze. He was overwhelmed by joy before, and only after calming down did he feel somewhat unreal.

Would someone really give him life-saving medicine for no reason without even asking for his name?

Moreover, is what a mountain bandit who even wants half a pancake says really credible?

But what made Luo Feng struggle was that he hadn't suffered any loss so far, which made him increasingly unable to understand this mountain bandit from Sunshine Village.

What if... what if what the other party said was all true? ===== CHAPTER 7 =====
