Chapter 161 The Transmigrated Boy Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 8) Mo Kaiyang didn't...
Mo Kaiyang didn't stay to check on the situation. After all, it was hard to tell what was wrong with this in a short time. It was already evening, and it was really hard to say whether the person was just sleepy or had taken the medicine.
The boss had told him that if the effects of the medicine weren't neutralized, it could last for three days and three nights. He suggested he go back to sleep and come back the next morning to check on it.
Mo Kaiyang was protected by his inner energy and moved very carefully, so he was not hit. However, after returning to the city, he still found an inn to take a good bath and change his clothes before he could breathe a sigh of relief.
To celebrate the silly boy's first victory, Lin You specially spent one point to order him an incredibly lavish late-night snack from the system shop.
Because she had things to do tomorrow, Lin You didn't order beer, but only iced milk tea and soft drinks, as well as various kinds of barbecue, braised dishes, and teppanyaki.
There was also a huge basin of spicy crayfish weighing a full ten pounds. The inn's table couldn't hold it all, so Lin You had to move a table from her own room next door.
Looking at the familiar snacks, Mo Kaiyang was almost moved to tears. He held a grilled squid in one hand and a lamb skewer in the other, and excitedly told Lin You about how he drugged her.
What the martial arts world finds utterly despicable is merely a means to an end for Lin You and Mo Kaiyang, two modern people. As long as they get things done, they don't care what methods they use.
Wan Jun had already rushed to Mo City when Lin You got lost, and secretly took away a small portion of the Wan family army who were his most supporters.
A group of men silently left the city through a secret passage he had prepared long ago.
Apart from a few individuals, no one knew that the border fortress of Mocheng had lost half of its fighting strength just as the enemy army was approaching.
Wan Hai is Wan Jun's cousin. He has always admired Wan Jun and knows about his secret plans. Now, Wan Jun has left him in Mo City and is following his instructions to find two very powerful experts to help him.
Wan Jun certainly wouldn't place all his hopes on Lin You and Mo Kaiyang, but if the idiot was willing to help, he would naturally be happy to preserve his own power.
Wan Hai waited for most of the day but the so-called expert did not appear. On one hand, he arranged for the whole city to be on high alert and enter a state of war preparedness, and on the other hand, he found people to set traps and investigate military intelligence.
With so many enemy troops, finding their location is quite easy, especially since their previous actions were within the surveillance range of the Wan family army.
"Report! The enemy has set up camp fifty miles away. Judging from the size of the camp, there are about 30,000 men. There is no other movement."
The next morning, after hearing the scout's report, Wan Hai waved his hand, signaling him to continue gathering information.
Half an hour later, after Wan Hai had finished breakfast and was discussing countermeasures with his several deputy generals, he received another report from a scout.
"Report! The enemy is still encamped fifty miles away and has not made any other moves."
Well, it's understandable that he's letting his soldiers rest and recuperate before the battle. He's letting his soldiers take turns resting, because there's going to be a fierce battle later.
Another hour passed, and the sun had risen high in the sky. Wan Hai, clad in full armor, stood majestically on the city wall, gazing into the distance.
"Report! The enemy is still encamped fifty miles away and has not made any other moves."
The scout came to report again. After speaking, he hesitated for a moment before continuing, "There is no smoke in the enemy camp. I dared to go and check. There are people in the tents, but there are no patrolling soldiers outside. It seems that neither the commander-in-chief nor the ordinary soldiers have gotten up yet."
Wan Hai: ………? ?
What kind of strange operation is this?
Could this be a conspiracy by the enemy?
He waved for the scouts to go and investigate again, then turned to find the generals to discuss countermeasures. The group discussed for a long time but couldn't come to any conclusion.
As Wan Hai listened to the scout's report once again, he suddenly realized that this could be the work of the mastermind that the general had mentioned, who had never shown his face.
The expert he was thinking about, Mo Kaiyang, had stayed up too late that night and hadn't set an alarm, so he overslept and only woke up now.
Mo Kaiyang opened his eyes and saw the sun's position, then yelled out loud. How did he end up sleeping until now? Would he be late for something important?
"Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on things for you. There's nothing happening." Lin You handed him a tablet, which showed the image of the camp he had visited yesterday.
Mo Kaiyang looked at the still camp and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't see Lin You's slightly strange look.
When Lin You first transmigrated, there was a mosaic-blocking function, which she initially thought was some kind of system censorship mechanism.
She only discovered yesterday that the mosaic was actually a minor protection mechanism, and it was even specially divided into eighteen thresholds for those aged twenty-three.
When she first transmigrated, she was not yet eighteen years old. After experiencing several worlds, she was over twenty-three years old, and some scenes that needed to be censored could now be seen.
As for why Lin You discovered it, you'd have to ask her silly son what kind of drug he gave the person.
Before she left yesterday, she placed a camera on the scout platform in the camp and even put a talisman on it so that no one would usually notice it.
She didn't need to sleep, so after Mo Kaiyang had eaten and drunk his fill and fallen asleep, she took the opportunity to check on the situation and then witnessed some truly shocking scenes.
Mo Kaiyang was completely unaware of this. After marveling at Lin You's all-encompassing inventory, he split the tablet into two screens, monitoring the camp's situation on one side and playing a single-player game on the other.
Seeing that he was having a good time, Lin You gave him two of the solar panels she had saved. Anyway, her main task in this world was to make this silly boy happy; everything else was just secondary.
Wan Hai waited until the next morning, but still didn't hear any movement from the enemy camp. Oh, it was a little different from yesterday; at least by mealtime, he could see smoke rising from the chimneys.
The scout in charge of observation was highly skilled and daring. After slowly making his way to the camp, he found that no one had noticed him and secretly captured someone who looked to be of a high rank and took him back.
Seeing his old acquaintance's pale face and closed eyes, Wan Hai specially asked a doctor from the army to take a look. He thought the man was ill, but after the diagnosis, the man's expression suddenly became strange.
What kind of method could possibly injure someone in such a place? Isn't the expert that his general found a bit too unorthodox?
After he led a troop of soldiers and captured all the enemy soldiers, the conclusion he reached was almost chilling.
Apart from some ordinary soldiers who were not seriously injured, only weak and exhausted, all the generals of some rank were wounded.
The one who was most seriously injured was the brave and invincible General Lie Meng, who had killed many of his comrades.
After Wan Hai locked the man in jail, he slapped the table and laughed for half an hour. Regardless of whether the method was strange or not, he was very pleased with how the matter was handled. If he ever had the chance to meet this master in the future, he would definitely drink with him for three days straight!
Besides capturing people, the food and equipment of the tens of thousands of troops naturally became spoils of war, which just filled the gaps in the military supplies that the imperial court had embezzled.
After seeing the enemy soldiers captured in the video, Mo Kaiyang stopped caring about what happened next and went directly to the capital with Lin You.
Unbeknownst to the two, a new and mysterious figure had emerged in the legends of the martial arts world of Mocheng: the Evil Swordsman.
Legend has it that this chivalrous hero, dressed in plain clothes and masked, was a ghostly figure who single-handedly stormed the enemy camp and used mysterious methods to render the enemy incapable of fighting, thus helping our army capture 30,000 enemy soldiers without a single casualty.
The image of the Evil Swordsman comes from a chubby Mr. Hu who loves collecting gossip about the martial arts world, and the name of the Evil Swordsman comes from the fact that he mentioned that this person had a long sword in his hand.
After all, the term "evil hero" doesn't sound very impressive.
As for the methods of the Evil Swordsman, the fat boss rubbed his fingers, smiled without saying a word, and raised the price of a certain medicine powder, which originally cost ten coins a packet, to one hundred coins.
Even so, the supply is already falling short of demand.
After Mo Kaiyang made some money, he bought a horse for transportation. Martial arts practitioners generally have good balance and control, and under the guidance of Lin You, an outer disciple, he quickly learned to ride a horse.
Lin You attached a speed-boosting talisman to his horse, making it almost as fast as a modern train. However, its endurance was a bit poor; it had to stop and rest after an hour to let the horse drink some water and eat something.
Lin You was too lazy to ride a horse, so she directly activated the tracking and binding function with Mo Kaiyang. This was the most basic function after the system and the task object were bound. It usually seemed useless, but she never expected it to have such a wonderful use.
To prevent getting lost again, Lin You spent 20 points to buy a navigation device called "Star Track".
The fixed orbiter can navigate to characters, plots, and locations that appear in world missions, and automatically generate maps of the areas she has explored. Lin You found it very useful, so she bought one directly.
As for the fact that she spent too many points in this world, well, she should focus on cultivating and then find the ghost to take orders later.
Mo Kaiyang rode his horse at full speed, and after a while he couldn't help but look back at the air behind him.
Lin You was sitting cross-legged, floating in mid-air, moving with his speed, looking like a kite flying without a string.
Even Mo Kaiyang couldn't help but mutter to himself, "It's a good thing he's brave and unafraid of ghosts, otherwise Lin You, who's like a ghost behind him, might scare him into some kind of mental illness."
Even though the two set off a few days later, they arrived in the capital earlier than Wan Jun's main force. Just as they were about to arrive, they suddenly heard a notification sound.
[Ding! The "Evil Swordsman" makeup has gained 10,000 fame points, 100 reputation points, and the "Widely Famous" achievement +1. Current task completion: 1/15.]
[Ding! Reputation points can be exchanged for items in the Golden Finger Shop. Please check it yourself.]
[Ding! The difficulty of the tasks will increase sequentially. The next achievement is "Fame." Please continue your efforts.]
Mo Kaiyang stared blankly at the system notification describing the image of the Evil Swordsman: dressed in plain clothes and a blue robe, with a gray veil covering his face, holding an unknown longsword, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, and using unorthodox methods.
He just drugged me, how is that considered a sinister method?!
Also, he's just wearing a rag, how does that constitute makeup? And they even gave him a weird nickname. Are all cheat-like quests this abstract these days?
Mo Kaiyang closed the cheat page, completely bewildered, and smiled apologetically at Lin You, "Although it's a bit strange, it's still a good thing, and it gives us direction for future missions."
Lin You nodded in agreement. "It really is quite good. Do you want to try it this time?"
After all, rescuing General Wan Jun's family would definitely make him famous throughout the martial arts world, and gaining 20,000 followers would be a piece of cake.
The reputation-based shop not only offers various makeup tools but also a wide range of other items, from small treats and toys to large personal storage spaces; it's practically a miniature version of the system's shop.
This silly kid not only has simple world missions, but even his cheat missions are much simpler than others, yet he still gets the most rewards. Is there some special reason for this?
Lin You wrote this down in her notebook, and together with Mo Kaiyang, they used a concealment talisman to sneak into the city again.
Unlike the desolation of the northern desert, the capital city was a riot of flowers. People came and went dressed in silk and brocade, adorned with pearls and jade, and spoke in soft, gentle voices. Even the wind seemed to soften.
Compared to the border town, prices here have risen a bit, but fortunately, thirty taels of gold is still a considerable amount, enough for Mo Kaiyang and Lin You to stay in the capital for the time being.
Watching Mo Kaiyang play with the gold ingot between his fingers, the gold ingot seemed to dance in his palm as his fingers flew across the paper.
Lin You asked curiously, "Now that you have internal energy, can you mold gold into various shapes?"
"It should work." Mo Kaiyang squeezed his fingertips, and the small gold ingot was instantly crushed into a fingerprint.
This small gold ingot is worth one tael. Due to the different ancient units of measurement, one tael here is roughly equivalent to more than 30 grams in modern terms.
Although Mo Kaiyang could manipulate gold, he hadn't played with clay much. In the end, after rolling the gold ingot into a long strip, he rolled it up from one end, leaving a three-inch stick.
He held up the stick and offered it to Lin You. "Doesn't it look like a lollipop? Here, you can play with it."
"No, it looks more like a mosquito coil." Lin You pulled out a real lollipop and shoved it at him. "Keep this one you made to pay for the room. It's so long, it looks easy to cut it open for change."
