Chapter 1: New Life
Night fell, thunder and lightning came, and the thunder outside seemed to be roaring non-stop. Suddenly, a scream was heard in a very ordinary villa near the outskirts of Jinyang City.
"Ah~~~~~" Lin Mo screamed while holding his head, but there seemed to be no one around, and only the continuous roar of thunder could be heard.
It was not until a while later that the stabbing pain in his mind slowly disappeared. Lin Mo was silent for a long time, sorting out the extra memories.
Then he walked to the bronze mirror beside the bed and carefully examined his current appearance, the image of an eighteen-year-old young man.
Although his appearance seems to be drained by alcohol and sex due to his recent drunkenness, it can be seen that his foundation is much better than in his previous life.
At the moment, appearance is secondary. The only thing is how to solve the current predicament.
Through memory, Lin Mo has clearly understood the current situation. This is a golden age of martial arts, with three Buddhist temples, four dynasties, five Taoist palaces, six swords and seven families, eight gangs everywhere, and the Nine Netherworlds Evil Way. These are the most famous forces known in the martial arts world.
Especially since the Tianji Mansion among the Eight Gangs is responsible for collecting intelligence from all over the world, and according to rumors, the four great dynasties are behind the Tianji Mansion, so the three major lists of heaven, earth and man promoted by the Tianji Mansion are the most authentic.
The Heavenly Ranking records a total of thirty-six immortals on land, the Earthly Ranking records the seventy-two strongest people under the Heavenly Ranking, and the Human Ranking records the one hundred and eight strongest people under the age of thirty in actual combat.
Therefore, everyone on the list is a favored one and is one of the most promising and influential people in the world.
But these have nothing to do with me for the time being. The biggest problem now is how to solve the current predicament.
First of all, Lin Mo’s identity in this life is an orphan whose parents have both passed away.
The villa I currently live in is rented with the money left by my parents, and the money is almost spent. The lease of this villa near the suburbs is also about to expire, so the first thing to do is to solve the money problem.
The reason he is still alive today is entirely due to the money his parents left him. Especially after his childhood sweetheart cheated him out of a brocade box left by his parents half a year ago, he has been in a state of heartbreak and collapse ever since.
He just spends his days drinking. As for the brocade box left by his parents, it is said to be made with the unique mechanical technology of Mo Sect, one of the Eight Gangs. Thinking about it this way, the identities of his parents in this life are also somewhat unusual.
Lin Mo tried hard to recall his childhood memories, but there were only a few vague ones, and the clearest one was from when he moved to Jinyang City at the age of twelve.
Our daily routine was just studying and playing. The three of us lived in a slightly larger yard. Since we all went to private school, we had no idea what our parents were doing every day.
Until I was sixteen, I was notified that I had found my parents' bodies at the government office. So all the information about my parents was vague. And the only things left by my parents were some silver and a brocade box.
Now a new question is how did Meng Ting, the childhood sweetheart, know that this brocade box was of great value, or it was not Meng Ting who needed this brocade box. After Meng Ting stole the brocade box, she suddenly and inexplicably married the second young master of the Hu family, the most powerful family in Jinyang City.
I guess there is some connection between them. The second thing to solve is the brocade box.
Come to think of it, it’s a good thing that my ex Lin Mo was a loser who only knew how to degenerate himself. The drunken life he led in the past six months should have deceived him well.
If the brocade box really contained something of great value, the other party would definitely continue to monitor it. The fact that they did not dare to take action but resorted to deception may also indicate something.
The first problem was money, and I had to hide myself well. I looked through some things at home and found that I still had about five taels of silver, and the lease of the villa was due in three months.
At this moment, a voice came from my mind, 'Ding, the Path of Good and Evil system has successfully bound to the host'.
Lin Mo was very familiar with online novels. Since the story of rebirth in another world had already appeared, the system was even more normal. After taking a few deep breaths, Lin Mo's emotions gradually calmed down and he asked, "System, what is your role?"
A cold mechanical voice came from the system: "Host, if you want to ask questions in the future, just ask them silently in your mind. The function of the system is to help the host grow. The host only needs to complete the tasks to get various rewards, including martial arts, elixirs, magic weapons, etc."
In a strange world, and especially in the current situation, the difficulty of starting out by fighting with bare hands is nothing more than hell level, and this world has extremely strict control over martial arts, unless you become a disciple of a large sect or join the imperial court.
If he wanted to become a disciple, he would definitely be rejected due to his age, and it would not be easy to join the court. It was better with the system, at least he started from the hell level to the difficult level.
The system continued, "The path of good and evil means that every time you complete a mission, there will be a main line of good and evil for you to choose from, and the rewards for good and evil missions are also the martial arts, weapons, or elixirs of the characters in martial arts novels, games, and comics that you have seen in your previous life."
"So if I choose the righteous path, then the reward for this mission will be the martial arts or weapons of the righteous characters in the novel, right?"
"Yes, the host's understanding is correct. In addition to the main quest, there will be side quests. As for the side quests, you need to encounter them to trigger them, and the rewards for the side quests are points.
10 points will be added every day. 500 points can open a one-star turntable. The remaining star-level turntables require more points. At the same time 10,000 points will open the mall. As for the rewards for the main quests, they are given according to the host's evaluation of completing the quests. "
Lin Mo continued to ask: "Then I should get a novice gift pack in my current situation."
The system returns: "The novice gift package has been loaded. Do you confirm to receive the gift package?"
Lin Mo then said, "Confirm to receive it! I hope to get something good!"
The system replied, "The novice gift package is loading. The loading is complete. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the two-star "Nine Yin Manual" fragment - Yijinduangu Chapter, the one-star "Bodhi Sword Technique", a second-rate fine iron sword, and a bottle of one-star Guyuan Dan."
Lin Mo let out a long sigh: "Fortunately, it's not bad. The internal strength is a Taoist skill that can change the physique, and the swordsmanship is also the most stable swordsmanship among the 72 Shaolin unique skills. It's not bad."
The system continued: "The main quest will be released after 60 days of the novice period."
Lin Mo read the Bodhi Sword Technique in his mind, and then began to study the Yi Jin and Jian Gu Chapter. With the help of the system, he would be able to get started with the techniques obtained from the system in the shortest possible time.
Lin Mo opened the bottle of Guyuan Dan and found 20 pills inside. One cannot take too many of this kind of pills, one pill every three days is just right. He calculated in his mind that he should practice hard in the first month, and then began to enter a state of meditation.
After a night, although he had not yet reached the first level of body refining, he felt much better. He went out and bought some simple food, about enough for a month's life, and then returned to his yard to continue practicing.
The practice of Yi Jin Jiangu Chapter was quite painful at the beginning, after all, my body was in too poor condition before. After five days, I gradually became familiar with it and started to swallow Gu Yuan Dan.
Half a month later, he successfully entered the first level of body refining . The impurities in his body began to be discharged. There were still 15 Guyuan Pills left, which should be enough to reach the fifth level of body refining. After all, with the improvement of his physical condition, the progress of the exercises was getting faster and faster.
Lin Mo went out and walked around his villa. Since it was located close to the suburbs, there were few people living there and he did not find any signs of surveillance. He relaxed a little and went back home to practice hard.
