Imperial City Ruins, opportunities refreshed daily

Chapter 91: Chance, another wave

"No problem!" Xu Hao smiled slightly, then said sincerely, "Please help me get the official position first!"

"You,... what others say is true. You really are obsessed with official positions. You dare to take on any risk, no matter how great!" Hearing this, Tang Wan'er said unhappily, "Come with me!"

Xu Hao smiled calmly.

He is not obsessed with being an official.

The main reason is that his plug-in requires status and position.

Without status and position, he can only search for opportunities in reality.

Even though there are many treasures in the palace, there will come a day when they are all looted.

It's not like the deep sealed space, where he can directly fleece the blood dragon. If he has a better status, he might even be able to search for opportunities in other worlds.

Then, Xu Hao and Tang Wan'er walked into the Pacification Office to apply for official positions.

In the eldest prince's bedroom, a group of people were kneeling on the ground, not daring to look up.

Because everyone knew that the eldest prince was already furious at the moment, and anyone who said the wrong thing could be killed.

"Your Highness is wise!" The middle-aged strategist in white clothes was the first to speak with a fist salute.

"Oh? How can you be so wise?" The eldest prince immediately became interested when he saw someone talking.

The middle-aged strategist in white said, "Your Highness must have seen that Xu Hao has such a high level of cultivation and strength at such a young age, and that he will be able to enter the Earth Ranking in the future. We can't let him develop peacefully, what if he advances to the Heavenly Rank?

Therefore, His Highness used the commander as bait to lure Xu Hao into a trap!"

"Go on!" The eldest prince was overjoyed to hear this, feeling that someone finally understood his painstaking efforts.

"Xu Hao's cultivation and strength are not weak, but he also has many weaknesses. Not to mention his obsession with official positions, even the weakness of the warrior system is extremely obvious. He is naturally vulnerable to invisible abilities!"

"Very good!" The eldest prince couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

Because it touched his heart.

That's what he thought!
The reason for setting aside a month is to find Xu Hao's weaknesses and then target them.

Now, after hearing what the white-robed strategist said, the eldest prince couldn't help but sigh that he had thought too far.

The white-robed strategist continued, "Also, when His Highness left, he only offered the position of commander as a reward, and didn't mention sending the commander of the Imperial Guards to fight. So, we can definitely invite external aid!"

"Yes, that's it!" The eldest prince couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up.

Then he looked at the white-robed counselor and ordered directly, "I'll leave this matter to you. You must do it beautifully for me!!"

"Yes!" The white-robed counselor paused for a moment and said cautiously, "Most people with strange abilities are evil people. Is there anything wrong with us inviting them now?"

"What's wrong? The Great Xuan Dynasty is in turmoil now. It's the time to recruit people and appoint capable people!" The eldest prince said nonchalantly.

The only areas under the current Daxuan Dynasty that can be under absolute control are a few prefectures and counties near Kyoto.

If special extraction is no longer possible, the strong ones will be invited away by other forces and rebels. Therefore, in troubled times, special exceptions must be made!

"My subordinates will do it now!"

"Okay, let's all go!" The eldest prince waved his hand, looked into the distance, and showed a hint of coldness.

He doesn't need to win every time, but as long as he wins once, he can put Xu Hao into an irretrievable situation!

"Dare to go against me, no matter who it is! Ninth sister, I want to see what expression you would have if the person you carefully nurtured died!"

In addition to the eldest prince, there were also people who were furious in other places.

For example, the people and forces that set up gambling fights.

There are also people and forces who bet on Xu Hao to lose and Liu Chengmian to win.

They were all furious at this moment and kept cursing.

"Liu Chengmian is such a loser! He has Earth-rank cultivation and holds the rank of a thousand households, yet he was killed by a little-known nobody with a single blow. Even if I were your grandmother, I would still end up like this!"

"It's a good thing Liu Chengmian is dead, but it caused me to suffer heavy losses. Damn it! If I had known this would happen, I would have spent all my money to buy Xu Hao to win. Now that the Ninth Princess is gaining popularity, I should have seen through it earlier!"

"Oh, I'm going to be miserable this time!"

On this day, countless gamblers went bankrupt.

Even Xu Hao's strong rise has attracted the attention of many powerful forces.

"It looks like there's going to be one more person on the Earth Ranking. I wonder who will be squeezed out!"

"It's too early to say that. Let's get past the Crown Prince first!"

The various forces were discussing with each other, while Xu Hao was in the Pacification Office with Tang Wan'er, handling various procedures.

"This is your badge. From now on, you will be the captain of the Imperial Guard!" After Tang Wan'er completed the formalities, she handed a silver badge to Xu Hao.

Xu Hao quickly finished it off, feeling ecstatic.

Finally, he also became a thousand households.

I don’t know what kind of treasure I will find in the next opportunity.

But Xu Hao quickly resisted the urge, because he still had to collect enough thirty opportunity refresh points to find a heavenly-level technique that suited him.

"Oh right!" After checking the captain's badge, Xu Hao raised his head and stared at Tang Wan'er, asking, "Does my current position provide any other benefits?"

"Yes!" Tang Wan'er nodded, "You can go to the Dharma Storage Pavilion now and obtain two more local-level skills!"

Xu Hao asked, "Is there no Heaven-level technique?"

"Heaven-level skills?" Tang Wan'er looked at Xu Hao seriously and said, "Heaven-level skills are the sect's skills. Even if you are a thousand households now, you still need enough merit to view them. Sorry!"

"It's okay!" Xu Hao smiled slightly.

He knew that heavenly-grade items were very precious, and he didn't really think he could get them for free.

However, it is not bad to have two earth-level skills.

After Xu Hao said goodbye, he immediately went to the Dharma Storage Pavilion of the Zhenfu Division.

The middle-aged guard at the pavilion couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw Xu Hao walking from a distance.

Because even if he didn't move around in the Pacification Office, he had heard about Xu Hao's fighting deeds.

He could kill a Earth-rank warrior who was wearing full body protective Earth-rank armor with one strike of the sword. This combat power was really scary, because even some of the strong men on the Earth List could not achieve the level of Xu Hao.

When he first met Xu Hao, he was just an ordinary boy. However, after ten days or half a month, he had grown to the point where he needed to look up to him.

Things are impermanent!
"Master Qianhu!" The middle-aged guard sighed, and when Xu Hao approached, he quickly stood up and saluted with his fists clasped.

"No need to be so polite!" Xu Hao smiled slightly and said, "I came to the Dharma Pavilion to receive two manuals and return some manuals."

After saying that, Xu Hao took out from his arms the various skills he had received a few days ago.

"Yes!"

Although Xu Hao was amiable, the middle-aged guard did not dare to be negligent or frivolous in the slightest.

Seeing this, Xu Hao didn't say much and still handed over a piece of silver.

"No, Master!" The middle-aged guard quickly declined.

"Okay!" Xu Hao looked at the unfamiliar middle-aged guard without any hesitation.

After handing over the manual of martial arts, he immediately stepped into the Dharma Pavilion.

Soon, Xu Hao came to the second floor.

This time, Xu Hao did not use fortune-telling to find a martial art, but instead ran towards the two areas of leg techniques and sword techniques with purpose.

Because he came here just to improve himself more.

Practicing leg techniques would allow him to better utilize the Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada, and they would complement each other. As for his sword techniques, he naturally wanted more variations to avoid being completely mastered.

After choosing for a while, Xu Hao selected a set of Twelve-Move Tan Legs and a sword technique called Kaitian Zhan.

Xu Hao took the outline and returned to the gate of the Dharma Pavilion. After exchanging two local-level skills from the middle-aged pavilion guard, he left.

As Xu Hao walked on the street, he was occasionally met with obscure glances from all around.

Xu Hao didn't care at all. His current cultivation level was enough to allow him to ignore most risks.

Even if he faces the most bizarre and evil spirits that warriors fear, he has the [Qi and Blood Furnace] and the Heart Mirror to protect himself.

After walking for a while, Xu Hao returned to the Xu family.

"Xiao Hao, people say that you fought against an Earth-level warrior and killed him?" Xu Qianzhi saw Xu Hao walk into the Xu family's gate and hurriedly stepped forward to ask with concern.

Because he always felt that the palace was relatively safe, he was very relieved. However, just after he went out, he heard such shocking news.

Fighting against a thousand households at the ground level was something Xu Qianzhi never dared to think about.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Xu Hao returned safely.

"It's just a small matter!" Xu Hao talked about it and eliminated Xu Qianzhi's worries.

Next, Xu Hao discussed some family matters with Xu Qianzhi, then returned to his room and began to practice the Twelve-Way Tan Leg and the Sky-Splitting Slash.

Xu Hao has now reached the realm of full earth level. Each level is the ultimate practice, which enables him to control his own body to perfection.

Therefore, Xu Hao didn't spend much time practicing the techniques and he had already figured out the tricks.

Next, you just need to follow the steps and gradually become proficient over time.

After resting for a day and a night, Xu Hao got up early in the morning, washed up, and went to the outskirts of the palace.

This was his first time inspecting the imperial palace as a captain.

From a distance, someone saw Xu Hao coming and immediately reorganized his troops.

"Sir, please assemble the troops and give us your instructions!" Immediately, a captain came forward, holding a list in both hands and respectfully handed it to Xu Hao.

There are seven people in this group, all of whom hold the position of centurion.

"Yeah!" Xu Hao took a glance and took the list to check it.

There are ten centurions under the thousand-householder. The reason why there are only seven here is because the other three have been dismissed and will soon be replaced by strong men from the Pacification Office.

Xu Hao took a quick glance and didn't pay much attention to it.

Anyway, he only needs to improve his own identity and status. As for the entanglements between various forces, he is too lazy to get involved.

As long as you don't provoke him, everything will remain the same.

"Okay, you guys go about your own business, I'll just take a look!" Xu Hao waved his hand and directly announced his rules.

"Yes!" After hearing this, the other centurions immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

They were really afraid that Xu Hao would overstep his authority and even impose some inhumane rules.

But right now, this kind of lazy boss is their favorite.

Xu Hao ignored what the centurions thought. He went straight to the stronghold where he was originally patrolling, ready to fulfill his promise.

Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, just like walking in brocade clothes at night.

What's more, he had promised Chen Changhe and others to hold a banquet.

"Captain Xu!" As Xu Hao walked by, the guards around him all saluted him.

This made Xu Hao very satisfied.

Sure enough, no matter where or what era, power is something that excites people.

After a while, Xu Hao met Chen Changhe and others.

At this moment, when they saw Xu Hao, they opened their mouths, looking as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Everything remains the same!" Xu Hao knew the awkward situation of several people and spoke first.

"Haha, I told you, Brother Xu still recognizes us!"

"Bullshit! Who said Captain Xu and we are from two different worlds?" Chen Changhe immediately refuted the claim.

"Ha ha!"

After a few teasings and laughter, the relationship between everyone returned to what it was before, and Chen Changhe and others also relaxed.

"Brother Xu, are you really at the Earth level?" After a few casual chats, Chen Changhe asked.

As soon as the words fell, the other guards also focused their attention.

"Yeah!" Xu Hao nodded.

There is nothing to hide, just accept it calmly.

"Brother Xu, you've kept it a secret from us!"

"We agreed to spend our days together, but before we knew it, Brother Xu had become someone we looked up to!"

"Yeah, I'm still trying to reach the Human Rank, but Brother Xu is already at the Earth Rank. How can we catch up?"

Xu Hao said nothing.

It was only because of the cheat that he had it, otherwise, he might have really been able to just muddle through with everyone else and wait for the collapse of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

"Brother Xu, isn't it time to fulfill our promise of a celebration banquet?" asked a guard.

"It's such a good day, I think it's better to celebrate it tonight than to celebrate all day long!"

"I think it's a good idea. Recently, many courtesans from various provinces have come to the capital. We must have a good feast this time and make Brother Xu bleed!"

The crowd booed.

"Okay, tonight!" Xu Hao waved his hand and agreed.

Although he had not yet received Tang Wan'er's betting bonus, he already had a lot of money. It just so happened that he had been either practicing or looking for opportunities recently. Now that he had some free time, he could enjoy himself.

By the way, criticize some of the bad habits of feudal society.

"Yeah!" everyone cheered.

Everyone patrolled casually and waited until the next day.

When the time came, Chen Changhe and others surrounded Xu Hao like a star surrounded by the moon, and rushed to the largest fireworks place in the capital.

"I heard that this time, a courtesan from three states has come to the Kuihua Tower, and she is ten times better than the last Liu Shiniang!" Chen Changhe spoke vividly while leading the way.

This one sentence made Xu Hao stunned.

Everything else was fine, but when Liu Shiniang was mentioned, Xu Hao felt that something was going to happen tonight.

Sure enough, when the group arrived at the Sunflower Tower, Xu Hao was just about to step into the huge flat ground in front of the building with everyone else when a hissing sound rang out in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, the panel of Chance Divination displayed a divination message.
