Chapter 164 The Transmigrated Boy Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 11) And Mo Kai…

Meanwhile, Mo Kaiyang had already removed all the hairpins and ornaments from his head, changed out of his women's clothing, tied his hair into a high ponytail with a rubber band, and then wrapped it with a hairband. He was now a handsome and dashing young swordsman.

As for where the rubber band came from?

Thanks to the makeup and hairstyling service, including the hair styling, the hair ties are free to use; he could probably use them for a lifetime and still not run out.

"So you deliberately aroused the patrol team's suspicion and hung the hairpin on the tree branch?" Lin You looked Mo Kaiyang up and down, secretly sighing in her heart.

I thought I'd finally met a silly guy, but it turns out he was just too excited to see his idol and hadn't thought things through. Once he calmed down, he turned out to be quite shrewd.

"It was just a coincidence that I had the opportunity to do a small experiment. We still need to find a way to complete the cheat code mission," Mo Kaiyang said casually, as if this was really just a coincidence.

If you could ignore his somewhat evasive and slightly embarrassed look.

Well, even if that silly boy is cunning, he's still just a shrewd fool.

Wan Jun indeed sent many people to investigate the twin sisters who possessed unparalleled lightness skills in the martial arts world. He even specifically mentioned that the two sisters were chivalrous and righteous, having saved his mother, wife, and daughters, and were his great benefactors.

The news of the twin sisters spread quickly, and this time it reached not only people in the martial arts world but also ordinary people.

Meanwhile, another piece of news quietly spread: the one who sent assassins to kill General Wan Jun's relatives was none other than Prince Rui, the current emperor's younger brother.

Prince Rui is the emperor's younger brother, born of the same mother. He is more than 20 years younger than the current emperor. When the emperor ascended the throne, he was just a child who knew nothing. He was raised by the emperor as a son from a young age and is now a well-known confidant.

The rumors were quite detailed: the tattoo on the assassin's arm was the totem of the Prince Rui's mansion; the purse on the assassin's waist contained patterns bearing the Prince Rui's mansion's mark; even the seemingly ordinary fabric of the assassin's clothes was revealed to have been purchased in large quantities by the steward's nephew of the Prince Rui's mansion.

The news was three parts true and seven parts false. It was spread in great detail, but it was all spread in secret and the source could not be traced. However, every few days, rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were thrown at the gate of Prince Rui's mansion.

After the people were arrested, they turned out to be elderly people living alone. Their sons and husbands had long since died in battle. Even if Prince Rui was not very bright, he would know that he could not kill these people at this time, otherwise it would confirm that he had assassinated Wan Jun's family.

Although it was indeed him who sent out those assassins, "Brother, when they went out, they would never carry anything other than weapons, let alone have tattoos on their bodies. That's utter nonsense!"

The emperor, who was over fifty years old, embraced a delicate beauty and looked at Prince Rui with hazy eyes. It seemed that it took him a while to realize what he had said. He sighed and said, "You were careless in your actions and someone caught you doing something wrong. What's the use of saying all this now?"

Prince Rui became even more anxious, "But Your Majesty, Wan Jun has taken his family to the border city. Not only him, but also many families of the Wan family army have been taken there! He's planning a rebellion!"

The emperor shook his head and smiled, handing Prince Rui a wine pot. "Drink today, for tomorrow we may die. You should mind your own business and stay home with your beautiful wives and concubines. You don't need to worry about such trivial matters every day."

From the moment his assassination attempt on Wan Jun failed, there was no turning back. The more he did, the more mistakes he made, so it was better to ignore everything and maybe he could find a way out.

It's a pity... His younger brother seems shrewd and capable, but he's hard to see through. But it's probably for the best if he takes the lead...

Prince Rui looked at the emperor, who seemed to be drunk in the arms of a beauty, and angrily flung his sleeves and left. Now that his elder brother was not concerned about the matter, he must be getting senile!

Since that's the case, it would be better to let someone else sit on this throne. They're both sons of the emperor and grandsons of the emperor, so he's definitely more suitable than his brother who's always indulging in a life of debauchery.

The current dynasty is beyond repair, and Mo Kaiyang does not intend to interfere with the solution of rebuilding from ruin to safety.

The chaos in the capital city has little to do with them anymore.

When they heard the system notification, they had already returned to the wilderness outside the desert city.

[Ding! The makeup "Moon Palace Twins" has gained 50,000 popularity points, 500 reputation points, and the "Widely Famous" achievement +2. Current task completion: 3/15.]

[Ding! Some items in the Golden Finger Shop have been unlocked. Please check them out.]

[Ding! The difficulty of the mission will increase sequentially. The next achievement is 40,000 reputation points. Please continue your efforts.]

This "golden finger" is quite practical; although it only has one name, it still calculates two progresses for the two makeup looks.

"Are all the people here this childish when giving each other nicknames? Why didn't he just call himself 'Moon Palace Fairy'?" Mo Kaiyang couldn't help but complain as he looked at his newly acquired title.

"If you were alone, you could probably become a fairy in the moon palace. Well, that sounds better than the previous 'Evil Swordsman,' right?" Although Lin You knew the meaning of the words "evil" and "cheap," Mo Kaiyang did not.

As for when he will realize that what he gave him wasn't a sleeping pill, but some kind of aphrodisiac, that depends on his luck.

The two, who considered themselves to have a good sense of direction but had actually rarely left their homes, searched back and forth four times in the swirling sandstorm before finally finding the small house where they had asked for directions earlier.

Now that there was no one there, Lin You and Mo Kaiyang thought something had happened to the two of them, but then they saw a note on the stone table in the house.

The handwriting on the note wasn't very good, just enough to be understood. It said that tens of thousands of enemy soldiers had been captured, and there were often unidentified people around, so they were in danger. They had gone to live in Mo City first.

Unfortunately, Lin You and Mo Kaiyang were unfamiliar with the area and searched the city but couldn't find any trace of the two. They had no choice but to leave a message in their house before leaving.

Shortly after they left, a ragged child, with his neck hunched, wandered aimlessly through the streets. He turned and twisted through the alleys and eventually found himself in front of a small shop hidden deep inside one of them.

The chubby shop owner has been in a good mood lately. He wasn't angry when he saw a little beggar squatting at the door, and even had his assistant give him a steamed bun.

The child wiped his hands on his clothes before taking the steamed bun, thanked him earnestly, and then looked at the chubby Mr. Hu, asking in a low voice, "Can you accept treasures?"

There weren't many customers today, and the chubby boss had the leisure to tease the child. "What, you little rascal, you think you can find treasure?"

The child stared at him for a while, then reached out and placed the glittering glass bead in his palm into the shopkeeper's hand.

"Since he trusts you, then I trust you too." Although the child said this, he had already secretly become more vigilant, ready to run away immediately if anything went wrong.

The portly boss clicked his tongue in amazement as he held the beads. Although he was squatting in this inconspicuous little place, he had handled countless stolen goods, but this was the first time he had ever seen such crystal-clear glass.

"Who believes me?" The fat boss stuffed the glass bead into his pocket and asked the child curiously.

The fat boss's surname is Hu, and his given name is Badao. He is a notorious swindler in the martial arts world. Many people in the martial arts world have been fooled by him to no end. It is incredible that someone would believe him. This kid must have picked the wrong person.

But so be it. Once something's in his pocket, he can't just take it back. Boss Hu poured himself a cup of tea, took a nice sip, and seeing the child staring at the teacup, he thoughtfully poured him a cup too.

The child wasn't anxious about having his things stolen. He picked up his teacup, gulped it down, and then continued, "Great Swordsman Evil."

The portly boss choked on his tea, coughing several times before finally catching his breath. He asked incredulously, "You said you know the Evil Swordsman?"

After the enemy army was completely incapacitated and captured without losing a single soldier, many people searched for this evil swordsman. It was only through the drugs that they found him.

The fat boss never imagined that what he meant by "there are a lot of people" was actually this. He still regrets it to this day. If he had known it was for this kind of thing, he would have taken out all the medicine directly.

With this half-pound of medicinal powder, even some enemy soldiers who still have the strength to stand and walk over might be taken down.

Back then, the Wan family army searched the entire city of Mo, but apart from him and his young apprentice, no one else had ever seen the Evil Swordsman. Could this kid be lying to him?

"You didn't tell anyone else that the Evil Swordsman was accompanied by a beautiful woman, and he wore a string of dark green beads on his wrist, the size of which was exactly the same as glass beads."

After the child finished speaking, he added, "This glass bead was given to me by him."

The portly shopkeeper's eyes flickered, and he immediately closed the shop door. Then, he took out a glass bead from his pocket, stroked it reluctantly for a while, and then stuffed it into the child's hand.

He took out ten taels of silver and a bag of copper coins and stuffed them into the child's hands, saying, "I won't take the beads from you, but you can keep the money. Don't mention what happened today to anyone."

After saying that, he was still feeling emotional, never expecting that in his life, a treasure would slip through his hands.

The child left the beads on the counter, taking only the silver and copper coins with him. "Consider this money a loan from me. I'll repay you tenfold later. When that time comes, I'll come back for my beads."

Once the child was outside, he reverted to his previous timid and hesitant manner, hunching his shoulders, drooping his head, and slowly moving along the wall, looking just like an ordinary little beggar.

Mr. Hu chuckled and scolded the little rascal, then picked up the beads and carefully examined them in his hands. It was a pity that this matter couldn't be publicized, otherwise he could have added another collectible with a story to his exhibition stand.

However, there are substitutes. The cloth that the Evil Swordsman used to wrap the mirror can also be placed on the display stand. Judging from the shape and color of the cloth, he might have torn it from his own clothes.

Mo Kaiyang, who was drinking beef soup with Lin You, noticed that the popularity of his two titles kept rising, and the corresponding reputation value also increased, quickly breaking through the thousand mark.

The Golden Finger Mall was updated again, with an even wider variety of items. Mo Kaiyang browsed through it briefly, then closed the page, no longer interested.

The previous gold and silver jewelry and martial arts manuals were one thing, but why are there so many women's clothes in this update, and even bizarre things like simulated breast pads? This Golden Finger Mall seems a bit unorthodox.

Mo Kaiyang couldn't help but complain to Lin You, "Why do I feel like I was being monitored by my phone in my past life, and then they kept pushing all sorts of ad videos on me?"

Lin You looked at the online store, wondering if the items here were also selected by that group of viewers. Was their level of acceptance a bit too high?

"The cheat codes used in the trial are all pre-programmed. Even the selection of cheat codes is random. It's not like it can update products according to your preferences. It's just a cosmetic cheat code. It must be just a coincidence."

Lin You took out two hard-boiled eggs, put one in his bowl, and said meaningfully, "Besides, if we were to update according to your preferences, it would be all kinds of modern delicacies and snacks."

After all, dietary habits are really hard to adapt to for time travelers.

On a certain forum, a fangirl in charge of updating the online store was about to add snacks when she suddenly remembered what the little war god had said about his privacy being spied on, and she didn't know what to do.

The system had barely finished speaking when the shop updated its menu with food items—wasn't that practically an admission of guilt?!

Since the Golden Finger Shop was unlocked, Little War God hasn't bought a single item. If this continues, I'm afraid someone on the forum will suggest that someone else take charge of updating the shop!

The young fan didn't care whether people would say she was incompetent; she directly posted the story on the forum for discussion.

Some suggested a covert approach: releasing small amounts of snacks with each update so the little war god wouldn't notice anything amiss.

Soon, someone else voiced their opposition, arguing that store updates were limited by reputation points, and they couldn't update products without reason. While this method was covert, it was too slow.

Some people have suggested opening another department store and putting modern goods in it, so that the little war god can also take care of any other needs.

However, this is extremely difficult to do, and it requires installing additional plugins for the cheat code, which will probably be even slower than the previous one.
