Chapter 162 The Transmigrated Boy Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 9) In this dynasty...

In this dynasty, the gold-silver exchange rate was approximately 1:10, meaning one tael of silver could be exchanged for about a thousand copper coins.

The reason it's described as "approximately" is because there will be a discount when exchanging copper coins for silver, or silver for gold.

On the streets of the capital, two copper coins could buy a vegetarian steamed bun, ten copper coins could buy a small bowl of wontons, and an ounce of gold was already a huge sum of money.

After straightening the gold bar that was rolled up like a mosquito coil in his hand, Mo Kaiyang went to the nearest money exchange and exchanged it for eight taels of silver and two thousand copper coins.

Because of the discount, exchanging gold for silver was still very popular.

When the shopkeeper learned of their purpose, he smiled broadly and warmly served them tea and snacks. He even had a waiter bring over a beautifully sliced ​​fruit platter.

It seems that the shopkeeper can make a considerable profit from exchanging one or two taels of gold.

Lin You and Mo Kaiyang didn't have time to worry about the price difference. After they came out, they found an inconspicuous inn to stay in.

Their attire was actually somewhat different from that of the rest of the world.

Mo Kaiyang was wearing a wig, and although it was quite realistic, he didn't bring any wig care products, since these are things that he would take care of at home after cosplaying.

After riding a horse for so long, the wig was completely matted and tangled, and the abnormality was obvious when you got close.

Lin You's attire was the same clothes she wore in the cultivation world. Although she had chosen relatively understated colors and styles, the fabric, upon closer inspection, was far superior to the tribute items from this world.

Fortunately, they had concealment talismans, so their presence was very low, and their abnormalities were automatically ignored.

However, this couldn't last forever, and they would have to change back into the clothes of this world. Lin You could easily change; she just needed to buy a new set of clothes. But Mo Kaiyang's hair was a bit of a problem.

Just as the two were discussing whether to buy a new wig or simply shave their heads and pretend to be monks, a system notification suddenly sounded.

[Ding! A beginner's trial mission for the cheat system has been activated. Please make good use of the cheat system's makeup tools to change your unconventional appearance. Success will reward you with a beginner's gift pack; failure will not result in any penalty.]

Lin You immediately opened the cheat code page. What a timely notification sound! Could this be another customer service representative who's just slacking off at work because they're bored?

Mo Kaiyang then remembered that his cheat system had also come with a toolkit and instruction manual, but he had been too busy to look at them yet.

Lin You nodded in agreement after hearing his explanation, "He is indeed quite busy, watching surveillance footage while playing games, so busy that he doesn't even have time to sleep."

Seeing Mo Kaiyang awkwardly look away, Lin You sighed again, "It's so good to be young. After staying up all night for several nights, I don't even have dark circles under my eyes."

"No, sis, we've at least transmigrated into a martial arts world. We have internal energy, so staying up all night is really nothing." Mo Kaiyang muttered under his breath, then took out his makeup bag from his cheat-like personal space.

To be honest, the supplies were quite complete, including wig care solution. Mo Kaiyang skillfully combed the messy wig into neat clothes, took it back, tidied his clothes, and transformed back into a dashing young swordsman.

[Ding! Trial task completed. You have received a beginner's gift pack. Wishing you a pleasant life!]

A huge gift box appeared out of thin air and fell directly into Mo Kaiyang's arms. The pale yellow box was tied with a beautiful red silk bow, which was quite ceremonial.

The box was heavy, containing a pound of gold, a pound of silver, an analysis of the current world's imperial power and a map of the martial arts world's power distribution, a map of delicious food and beautiful scenery, a piece of armor that was impervious to blades and bullets yet as thin as a cicada's wing, and finally, a bottle of hair growth serum.

The analysis of the imperial court's power is fine, as it looks almost identical to what's in history books. But the combination of the martial arts power distribution map and the guide to delicious food and beautiful scenery is quite interesting.

There is an oasis in the desert, where the headquarters of the Seven Killings Demonic Sect is located. There is a cold spring with swirling mist, which is breathtakingly beautiful. There is also a kind of silver fish in the spring with tender and delicious flesh, which is best steamed.

In the Silent Forest to the east, there is the Mingxin Sect, which is both righteous and evil. There, the location of the large Golden Shaded Cichlid is marked, and even its outing pattern is thoughtfully marked.

Other sects also have corresponding delicacies or interesting specialties.

Looking at the difficulty of the task and the quantity of items, Lin You felt that something was not quite right.

The income from her cheat ability is clearly disproportionate to the effort she puts in. Even a beginner's gift pack wouldn't give her this much stuff. Her cheat abilities in previous worlds weren't this generous.

Besides, Mo Kaiyang's task is just a matter of moving his fingers, it's too easy!

Lin You secretly sent a message to A Piao to inquire about the situation. Since they were both creators of cheat codes, he should know something. It couldn't be that the cheat code pointed out some bug, could it?

I thought the ghost would be busy, but I got a reply in less than a minute after sending the message:

"Youyou, that's great! I didn't expect this task would actually be assigned to you. I just randomly signed you up!"

The ghost's voice came through electronic speakers, and you could hear the excitement in his tone, "This mission is a very rare luck-based mission. I came across it by chance. If you complete it, we'll probably be able to meet soon!"

Lin You had some understanding of luck points. One luck point could be exchanged for 1,000 system points. She used to be very envious of it, but it was something that could only be encountered by chance and was not something that could be obtained by chance, so she could only fantasize about it.

After becoming a full-time employee, the system page was updated with information about the role of luck points, which can improve the exchange rate of personal abilities and experience points.

Using Lin You's understanding, it's probably about increasing the conversion rate? It's probably similar to improving your stats in a game.

The ghost also cautioned, "You've accumulated quite a few points now, so don't be foolish and exchange them for anything. Luck points are extremely rare!"

"Okay, thanks. Are there any pills you'd like to have made recently? I'll give you a discount on the labor fee," Lin You readily agreed.

"No need for discounts, just take a few more orders from me. When you become a big shot in the future, don't forget to let me cut in line."

Ah Piao doesn't really need discounts. Creators of his caliber don't lack the meager savings from discounts, but he lacks something else.

Game cheat codes can indeed be very profitable, but they require a lot of rewards, and many of these rewards need to be provided by the creators of the cheat codes themselves.

To help a character grow stronger, resources are needed, which are the so-called mission rewards. Among these rewards, the mid-grade pills refined by Lin You are the most popular.

For a system like Lin You's that assigns missions, obtaining items is not easy. It must be done through legitimate means in the current world, or be a gift from the mission recipient willingly, before it can be added to the system's inventory.

However, the relationship between most systems and their task objects is not so harmonious and friendly, not to mention that in a high-level plane like the cultivation world, the existence of systems is viewed with extreme vigilance.

This means that pills are not as common as Lin You imagined, and as for systems that can refine pills, they are even rarer, and most of them are retired.

Normally, they source their goods from the system's online store, which is not only expensive but also has inconsistent quality and frequent stockouts.

Apiao felt that meeting Lin You was incredibly lucky. He wasn't in a hurry to place an order. He was about to tell Lin You to do the task well, but then he remembered how she had spent time with her host, Song Yu, and realized that there wasn't much to tell her.

"Your mission target has many admirers. It is an obsession for many people to keep him alive. This obsession has created a special aura, which is why this special mission was created."

All you need to do is ensure that the people you're tasked with are happy every day. If they're happy, they'll be satisfied, and the more rewards you'll receive later.

The ghost revealed a few words before changing the subject to other things. Lin You understood that it was inconvenient to disclose the details.

However, his few words also revealed a lot of information. At least Lin You could tell that her mission this time was very special and had attracted a lot of attention.

Could it be... a live stream?

When the company selects new employees, they are assigned according to their abilities. Her second sister, Lin Ran, is a well-known live streamer in their world. Would she be employed in this field?

Lin You didn't know if her conversation with A Piao would attract attention, so she could only suppress her chaotic thoughts and watch Mo Kaiyang pack his things.

The portable space was indeed convenient. Mo Kaiyang stuffed all sorts of things, like gold and silver maps, into it, but left the protective soft armor for Lin You.

"Sister Lin, we're definitely going to be wandering the world from now on. Wear this, and you'll be safe."

As for himself, Mo Kaiyang had already deduced from the distribution of martial arts forces and Wan Jun's martial arts level that his own martial arts were definitely among the top-tier masters in the martial arts world, so he didn't need to do that.

Lin You, of course, didn't need it either. "Have you forgotten that I can change between reality and illusion? If we really encounter danger, I can just become invisible and become immune to all physical attacks. Wearing this thing is just a burden."

After hearing this, Mo Kaiyang didn't try to persuade him any further. He then stuffed the soft armor into his spatial storage and began studying the hair growth potion.

The hair growth tonic is very easy to use; just spray it onto your hair. You don't need to worry about spraying it on other parts of your hair; it will only promote hair growth.

After removing the wig, Mo Kaiyang, with a spirit of experimentation, lightly sprayed a small patch of hair, and that small tuft of hair grew to more than half a meter at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The stubble that he sprayed a little bit on showed no signs of growing, just as the instructions said.

Mo Kaiyang soon had a head of jet-black, shiny hair that reached his waist. And it has to be said, this hair looked even smoother than the glossy wigs that were properly maintained.

After his hair grew out, Mo Kaiyang was completely at a loss. Wigs were styled with needles and glue, but he had never learned how to style real hair!

Seeing his pleading look, Lin You helplessly shrugged, "I've only learned girls' hairstyles, not boys'. I don't know how."

It was getting dark, and it was time for them to scout the location, but Mo Kaiyang's hair still wasn't done.

Once his real hair grew out, it became inconvenient to wear a wig. Mo Kaiyang would simply tie all his hair together into a ponytail, and because he wasn't used to headbands, the ponytail would fall apart after a short time.

It looks messy and much stranger than the frizzy wig from before.

But they can't keep using the Concealing Breath Talisman all the time.

Not to mention that Lin You's inventory of concealment talismans is limited, and the concealment talismans she draws with her current spiritual power level won't last long, the fame required for the cheat-like mission is something that can't be achieved by simply hiding her whereabouts.

Lin You looked at Mo Kaiyang, whose hair was disheveled and whose gender was somewhat ambiguous, and chuckled, "It's alright, there's no rush. We can go back and see how other people style their hair, and we'll learn from them."

Mo Kaiyang had originally planned to do the same, but since he was entrusted by someone else and was his family's former idol, even though Wan Jun had completely collapsed, the filter of Emperor Wan Xuan loving his people like his own children and creating the Wan Dynasty's prosperous era was still there.

Even for this reason, he had to protect Wan's wife, children, and elderly parents.

General Wan Jun did not die on the battlefield as in history. Mo Kaiyang couldn't say how fast the information traveled from the border town to the capital, since there were carrier pigeons in ancient times.

In conclusion, rescuing the Wan family should be done as soon as possible; he can't let things drag on for the sake of a haircut.

Mo Kaiyang looked at Lin You. Well, he often dressed up as a woman when he did cosplay, so he was actually used to it.

Lin You, however, couldn't quite grasp his thought process. "You asked me to style your hair like a girl's, so you'd dress up as a little girl and go out??"

Dude, you're live streaming right now, with tons of fans watching, and you're dressed up as a little girl??

I wonder if the viewers of the live stream can handle this kind of stimulation.

Mo Kaiyang didn't notice Lin You's unusual behavior and was still excitedly telling her about his experience cosplaying in modern times: "Sister Lin, you don't know, when I cosplayed as Daji, a lot of people added me as a friend. As long as I didn't say anything, basically no one could tell that I was a man."

Lin You combed his hair while giving an awkward smile, saying, "As long as you're happy."
