I am the one running the game

Chapter 670: Licheng, the Royal Family’s Show
Lu Xingshi killed the son and followers of a wealthy family, washed himself, and changed into their clothes.

The process was easy. The young man from a wealthy family was not very strong, only level 1, but his followers were level 2.

The reason why he was able to win was because the opponent was really inferior in combat experience and skills, and was also very arrogant, and looked down on Lu Xingshi, a peasant.

After all, there is no need to fight now, just sacrifice.

As for why the followers are higher in rank than the young master? That's because the followers are recruited, not trained by the family.

However, Lu Xingshi was very puzzled. Since he could be promoted to this level, it meant that his class must be higher. Why should he be a dog for others? Shouldn't he control the other party?
This means that there must be other means of increasing levels besides sacrifice and offering sacrifice.

After changing his clothes and disguising himself as a resident of the lower town, Lu Xingshi successfully sneaked into the lower town of Licheng.

The living environment here is much better than that in the slums. At least people here are called common people, not paupers. There are also many wealthy families and gangs that they use as their white gloves. As long as the noble families and powerful people in the Midtown and Upper Town do not interfere, they are the real masters.

As for the imperial court, it was actually run by royal relatives from Shangcheng District.

However, the rights that civilians, who are much better off, can enjoy are only slightly better than those in the slums. In addition, they can barely die with dignity through the explicit laws, rather than just dying in the slums without any follow-up.

However, the foreign demon world and level-up are still not something they can access.

When he arrived at the Lower City District, Lu Xingshi learned about the institution that trained professionals, called the Royal Academy.

To join, one must at least be from a noble family, but some wealthy families can send one or two children in if they pay enough.

If you are a relative of the royal family, you can enter directly without any threshold. Once you enter, you will be the highest figure in the school and the object of pursuit for students from other schools.

Lu Xingshi definitely won't be able to get in because his background is not good enough and people won't even look at him.

The reason why he came to the lower city was simple: to kill people.

When he killed the level 2 follower before, he actually obtained materials, which means that he can gain experience by killing people, but it has changed because of his profession.

What’s more important is that after killing this person, I actually gained 0.02 talent points.

The reason is very simple, that is, professionals who gain experience through methods other than killing demons and monsters are actually no longer professionals, but fallen people.

However, they still possessed all the abilities of professionals, and it was obvious that there was something wrong with the rules of this world.

Now Lu Xingshi is looking for the next group of targets. Unfortunately, there is no royal academy in the Lower City District. The royal academy is located in the Upper City District. It is impossible for him to get in now.

He didn't plan to kill them one by one, as that would be too troublesome and would have a big impact but would also easily expose himself.

It would be better to choose a wealthy family and kill a group of them directly.

Of course there is a solution, he plans to poison.

High-level professionals are indeed not afraid of poison, but low-level ones are.

At least level 10 professionals have no way to be immune to normal poisons, which means that reaching level 11 after completing advanced tasks is considered to have reached an inhuman level.

However, in the lower city area, there are only a few people who can reach level 11. At least, this is what he heard about the situation in the lower city area of ​​Licheng.

It's just that poison is a little difficult to get. It's a controlled material and only wealthy families are qualified to obtain it openly. Rich families must have it, but in small quantities and have to use it covertly.

Naturally, there are no taboos for royal family members. Not to mention obtaining it, even using it to poison the entire slum for fun is legal.

Lu Xingshi didn't know what to say about this.

"Are you from Luocheng?" A voice interrupted Lu Xingshi's purchase of plants.

Since he couldn't buy the poison, Lu Xingshi naturally had to make it himself. He still had this trick.

Lu Xingshi turned around and saw several constables from the Lower City District. They were all from wealthy families and were there to maintain the stability they needed.

"Yes, you are?" Lu Xingshi asked calmly.

"Oh, not decent at all. Which family are you from? I know a little bit about Luocheng." The captain said, and then said proudly: "I once saw the back of the third son of the Bai family from afar in the central district of Luocheng."

Lu Xingshi's eyes widened. What was there to brag about? But he quickly realized that this was indirectly saying that he had been to the Central City District, indicating that he was different from you.

"That's all?" Lu Xingshi said disdainfully, "I have followed the second son of the Bai family before. You are the one who is not dignified."

When you are away from home, your identity is given by yourself. Anyway, he is talking nonsense, unless the so-called Bai family does not have a second son, but this possibility is not great.

As soon as these words were spoken, the captain's face suddenly turned cold.

"The Bai family doesn't have a second son, only a second daughter. You're lying!" he scolded as he opened his mouth.

Lu Xingshi was exposed but did not change at all. Instead, he adopted a contemptuous attitude: "A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin."

He did not answer directly, but instead arrogantly looked down on the other party.

At this moment, the captain of the police was also doubting himself. Could it be that the Bai family really only had a second son and no second daughter?
Especially when he saw Lu Xingshi's confident look, he became less confident.

The reason why he came to cause trouble for Lu Xingshi was naturally because Lu Xingshi didn't even bring a follower with him.

Even the most unpopular son of a side branch had to be accompanied by a servant, as this was the respectability of a child of a wealthy family. As for the disciples of aristocratic families, they would definitely have guards, maids, followers, etc. when they went out, and every time they went out, it would be a big scene.

The size of the royal family is even larger.

Therefore, it is very suspicious that Lu Xingshi is alone.

Lu Xingshi naturally had no idea where he had been exposed. After all, he was not a real wealthy man's son.

Of course, they could not have imagined that there were untouchables who dared to kill the sons of wealthy families. This was an unforgivable crime in the Dali Dynasty.

The crime is naturally an offense against one's superior.

As for the severity, anyone who dares to commit the crime of disobeying his superiors will have his entire clan exterminated.

"Where is your servant? Why don't you ask him to come and help with shopping?" The captain quickly changed the subject and asked directly.

If Lu Xingshi cannot give a convincing answer, he will be arrested and punished.

Being dishonorable is naturally a sin.

"Dead." Lu Xingshi answered very briefly, but he also realized that he had a big flaw, which was the problem of information asymmetry.

What he could find out was very limited, as most of the information was monopolized.

It was not something he could find out at all.

Lu Xingshi's answer made the captain's eyes narrow. When he was about to take action, he heard a loud noise.

It came from the city gate.

"Which royal relative is causing this noise?" The head constable's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately knelt on the side of the road with all the constables.

Lu Xingshi calmly retreated to a dark alley beside the road, then climbed up to a hidden position to observe.

Not only the chief constable knelt down, but all the soldiers also knelt down with their heads bowed, not daring to look up.

He saw a luxurious chariot being dragged by several exotic beasts, and followed by a large number of professionals. Among them were many high-level professionals serving as guards, and there were even stronger protectors protecting it.

Lu Xingshi couldn't see the situation in the chariot, but he could sense that the people in the chariot were not very strong, only around level 6.

"At least 6 years old, but only level ?" Lu Xingshi was a little surprised. This world was really too distorted.

Class and power are tied to background, but not to strength. What a strange worldview.

It felt to him as if the emperor ordered a general who was guarding the border and had millions of troops under his command to commit suicide, and then the general actually committed suicide.

If it were Lu Xingshi, he would definitely say, "I heard that the Queen Mother is still charming," and then go to purge the emperor's side.

How could I just sit there and wait for death?

Then it launched heavy attacks internally and was even more servile externally, but it was not destroyed. It is really strange.

He could understand that most people in the Dali Dynasty were spineless, but it would be very strange if everyone was spineless.

'Unless it is domesticated, and domesticated thoroughly!'

'Ten thousand years is enough to change everything.'

Lu Xingshi doesn't want to save the world or liberate the people at the bottom. He just wants to kill and kill, and then improve his own strength.

The sedan chair left very quickly, and the group of people knelt on the ground for more than half an hour before they stood up.

Obviously this wasn't their first experience, so they were quite experienced.

In Lu Xingshi's view, this was not just kneeling, but also a bloody lesson.

"Damn it, that guy ran away!"

"There must be something wrong with him." After the captain stood up, he found that Lu Xingshi had disappeared, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"Find this person who disrespected the royal family, even if you have to turn the entire Lower Town upside down."

He was very angry. The reason he was angry was not that Lu Xingshi had played a trick on him, but because when the royal family members passed by, Lu Xingshi did not kneel down but dared to run away. This was simply too audacious and no different from rebellion.

It's not just because it's a blasphemy against the noble royal family, but also because once this matter spreads to the upper city or is known by people in the central city, the entire lower city will be in trouble.

Therefore, the best way is to ask for forgiveness in person, so as to reduce their guilt to the greatest extent, even if they are the only ones who know about it now.

Of course, now that it’s being publicized, more people will know about it.

If he didn't say it and just let it go, there would basically be no follow-up.

However, in the eyes of the wealthy families in the Lower City District, this involved the royal relatives in the Upper City District, which was already a big deal as it involved the aristocratic families in the Central City District. Now it is at an even higher level, which can be said to be the biggest of big things.
