Chapter 2, the copper coin of life
Have you heard?"
"Headless and brainless, what did I hear? Your daughter-in-law gave birth to six big fat boys in one go?"
"Phew, that's not a pig! I'm talking about—" The drinker who spoke looked left and right, lowered his voice, and leaned in front of him and said, "The matter of the penny hero!"
The drinker who was talking to him suddenly realized, and nodded again and again: "Naturally, I heard about it, who doesn't know about this matter now! I'm afraid it has all spread to Jinguan City! That penny hero used copper coins as a secret weapon, and killed people with only one penny, and killed many famous bullies and bandits in the past two or three months, who doesn't know on the ground in Yizhou?"
"But you definitely don't know that the penny hero is here in our Bashan County!"
"What?!" the drinker's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, then lowered his voice to a very low level, and asked eagerly, "Is this true?"
Last night, he sneaked into the house of Luo Liao, the 'Tiger on the Balcony', and killed Zhang Baisheng, the owner of the second village of Qingsong Mountain, 'Baisheng Shenquan'. Although Luo Liao was saved by him, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants......"
"Although he is afraid of the inside like a tiger, he can be regarded as a strong martial artist, how can someone else save his life, and he is still scared like this?"
"Don't you know, at that time, Zhang Yum was punched dozens of times, and he was about to die of exhaustion. At this moment, a cold light flew past his ears and shot into Zhang Baisheng's eyebrows, Zhang Baisheng fell in response, and he saw that it was a copper coin with the words 'the world is peaceful'......"
The drinker who broke the news took a drink and said with a smile: "Think about it, the penny hero who killed the heroes of the green forest was hiding in his house, and that copper coin dart was almost shot in the back of his head...... Instead, are you afraid?"
"Ahh......h I'm really afraid!"
"Yes, who is not afraid? But Luo Liao is also a wonderful person, after he was afraid, he was instantly inspired, shouting that he wanted to invite a penny hero to drink, and went straight to Cuifang Pavilion. ”
“...... The penny hero also went?"
Early this morning, his wife went to Cuifang Pavilion and chased him everywhere with a rolling pin. The drinker who broke the news laughed, "I just happened to be passing by at the time, went in to see the excitement, and then heard about it from an insider." ”
The two drinkers laughed together.
After laughing, one of them said thoughtfully: "Since the penny hero is here, whether it is the green forest of our Bashan County or the bullies, it is estimated that it will have to stop for a while, and we can take this opportunity to go out and do a few business trips." ”
"Why don't you stop a little! I guess someone is going to run away today, and they won't dare to come back without the news that the hero is leaving. ”
"Alas, if only there were more martial arts masters like this hero!"
"Not really!"
Pan Long sat in the corner of the tavern, listening to them talk about himself, and couldn't help but smile.
He himself could not have imagined that the practice of using "Taiping in the World" copper coins to kill people would derive the identity of "penny hero".
And his habit of sneaking assassination after the investigation is clear puts the robbers and bullies in danger.
The knights of the rivers and lakes like to be righteous and bright, even if they want to eliminate violence and peace, they will come to the door in broad daylight, and some people will even send a prayer post in advance to prove that the justice they adhere to is sacred.
But Pan Long had no idea at all.
He pursued only two goals.
First, safety, and second, efficiency.
If you want to be chivalrous, you must first protect yourself. Only by ensuring their own safety can they do their best to be chivalrous.
Stealth combined with assassination will allow you to protect yourself to the maximum.
No matter how many means those robbers and bullies had, they couldn't stop an assassin who couldn't be seen at all. In particular, Pan Long rarely gets into other people's lair - when the poison runs out, he always ambushes and assassinates those robbers and bullies passing by, and the location of the assassination is even more unpredictable and unpredictable.
It's really unpredictable, not even himself, because he uses the method of drawing lots every time to decide where he is ambushing.
In the face of this kind of elusive assassin, unless his strength is tough enough, even if he is an innate master, he will not be able to avoid a copper coin dart at close range.
Anyway, no one has done such a thing so far.
In fact, even if there is really someone who can dodge or block the copper coin dart, Pan Long doesn't care.
It's a big deal that he retreats first, and next time he shoots an arrow from close range with the bed crossbow.
He didn't believe that there was still someone in the innate realm who could block the backstab of the bed crossbow!
During this time, many people were killed, and the aura of the fragments of the Mountains and Seas Sutra was sufficient again. So he opened the illusory world again, and found that as long as it was the world he had been to, in the case of additional consumption of aura, he could actually choose it directly.
So he went to the world of "Sword and Tragedy" again.
The "plot" of that world has not developed much, and the most important plot in the early stage, the great uprising with the Church of the Moon Goddess as the core, has not yet broken out.
So he went directly to a big city, bought the props needed for the thief's first job change in the black market, and completed the job change.
His first career change was somewhat special, neither a thief nor a killer, but a more out-of-the-way "little powerful thief".
This class belongs to the thief direction, but the theft skill can only be upgraded to level 1, and the "mechanical lock" skill cannot be obtained, and it does not even have the "stealth enhancement" and "valuation" necessary for thieves.
As compensation, in addition to the "theft" that still retains the direction of the thief, it also has "stuffy sticks", "scattering sand" and the most interesting "Xiaoqiang Three".
"Xiaoqiang Three Uniques" refers to the three skills of "Xiaoqiang Running", "Xiaoqiang Hard" and "Xiaoqiang Pretending to Be Dead". These three skills, known as Xiaoqiang (cockroach), give this class extraordinary movement speed and survivability.
When the Level 5 "Little Runner" is full, it can ignore any terrain obstacles and run at high speed anywhere - whether it is in the crowd or on the battlefield, and even on the water.
After the level 5 "Little Strong Kill" point is full, as long as it is not crushed by critical hits and personalities, no matter how strong the attack is, it can only knock out one-third of the health at most.
There is only a level 1 "Xiaoqiang play dead" skill, which will be activated immediately after being concentrated by the enemy, forcing it to enter stealth.
At the beginning of the game, the "little powerful thief" Hydevin was a comedic character, and the most common method for this character was for players to rush directly into the enemy group to grab the treasure, and run away as soon as he grabbed it. Relying on the strong vitality, grab the things back directly.
At that time, people used to play memes such as "Hidewen, Duck", "Let me send a little Brother Hai first", "Don't ask where Brother Hai is, just ask where the treasure is", "The Hatwin Conservation Group strongly condemns", etc., but it is undeniable that this profession is really ...... Very easy to use.
At least, it's very easy to use for Pan Long's current needs.
When he killed three green forest bandits nicknamed "Colorful Dragon", "Colorful Tiger" and "Colorful Leopard" before, he assassinated one first, and then relied on the "Little Strong" to kill the remaining two.
The two bandits looked dazed and disbelieving until they fell to the ground and died—they had never seen a freak who had been pierced in the chest with a sword and not only did not die, but could continue to fight unaffected.
In this regard, they are not very good.
Alas, who called them young!
After eating, Pan Long returned to the guest room on the second floor to rest, took out the dimensional bag, and checked the harvest.
"It's almost full, we have to find a place to sell the stolen goods!"
He is not the kind of person with moral fetish, in addition to acting chivalrous and righteous, if possible, he will also check the wealth of the bullies and robbers a little, and take some gold, gems, pills, weapons and the like that are more convenient to take away.
Except for some of these things that can increase his strength, he ate them and became part of his internal strength cultivation, and everything else is in the dimensional bag.
Before I knew it, the huge dimensional bag was actually full.
At this moment, he saw that there was a large amount of gold inside, dozens of jewelry and gemstones, a medicine bottle estimated to be in the triple digits, two sharpened iron weapons, and a soft armor that could effectively resist all kinds of attacks.
These things are all stolen goods, gold, precious stones, and medicines, jewelry, weapons and armor are not visible, even if they are taken to those who specialize in selling stolen goods, they have to worry about leaking the news and revealing their identity.
Pan Long was a little distressed by this, and he even wondered if he should get a few sturdy chests, and then find a secret place, dig a pit and bury those things that were not suitable for light and too heavy, and draw a treasure map.
And then, he did.
"The speed at which I make money is really fast, and in just two months, I have come up with a treasure. A few days later, after successfully relieving the burden of the dimensional bag, he returned to Bashan County in a happy mood, "No wonder Captain Roger screamed when he was dying, and people all over the world ran to find his treasure......"
There were also a few guys he was going to kill, and he always felt imperfect if he didn't get things right.
Moreover, if the dimensional bag is empty, it must be filled again.
He still needs a lot of money, and although he can't spend much, he can support the poor if he doesn't need it.
Anyway, the money of those scoundrels is also stolen from the common people, and it makes sense to distribute them to the poor.
Pan Long believes that he is making a positive contribution to promoting the redistribution of social wealth.
Well, he even felt that the Great Xia Dynasty should give him a certificate of commendation.
When he arrived at the inn where he had lived, he had just opened his room when he was stopped.
"This friend is very kind, have we met somewhere?"
Pan Long stopped, his face gloomy, and looked at the guy who stopped between him and the stairs.
"Nine Eyes Catch Du Pengcheng, are you too lenient?"
