Period drama: Old Cao's carefree life

Chapter 41: Work secretly, don't fire your gun.

Cao Wei Da smiled confidently; he knew exactly what those damned Japanese devils were up to.

Despite their seemingly clueless appearance, Cao Weida was certain that they all knew exactly what was going on!
So what if you're just a front man? You're a front man once, you're a front man twice, you're a front man two hundred times, and you're still a front man.

He'd rather be one two hundred times than one time.

At least in this way, he has escaped the ranks of disposable items.

At this time, he was still quite weak. Unless he decided not to stay in Beiping, he could only try his best to make himself more valuable.

Since they don't want to say it themselves, then I'll have to say it myself:

"Sirs, I understand your concerns. In the occupied areas, the people have nothing to offer, but we can buy from those who have supplies."

In the occupied areas today, most of the supplies are in the hands of the Japanese, and a portion is in the hands of those traitors and lackeys.

Want to get rich?

Sure, go for it!

Ono, Oda, and the others exchanged glances, all of them seeing amusement in each other's eyes.

“Cao-san, as friends of the Empire, we would never do anything to harm our friends!” Ono Oda said righteously.

I don't believe you for a second!
“What Ono-kun said is true. Of course we can’t harm our friends, but if someone else does it, then it’s none of our business.”

"Oh? Cao-san, you mean..."

Cao Wei Da said with a smile, "Ono-kun, the empire's warriors have made such a huge mistake within Sang Liuji's jurisdiction, causing such a great loss of face to the empire. It is simply unforgivable!"

"However, Ono-kun is compassionate. Why not give him a chance to redeem himself?"

Ono Oda instantly understood, and his smile widened. "Yoshi, Cao-san is right. We, the people of the Great Japanese Empire, always treat our friends with tolerance and give them a chance to make amends."

"However, this matter still needs to be personally overseen by Cao Sang. Among the Chinese, I trust Cao Sang the most."

Ono Oda's statement was undoubtedly a disguised authorization.

Cao Weida smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, Ono-kun. I will definitely handle this matter well, and no one will trace it back to us."

"However, the storage and transfer of supplies will require the strong support of all officers."

Fujita patted his chest and assured him, "Yoshi, you're my friend, so you're a friend of the Empire. We're never stingy with our help to our friends."

The atmosphere instantly brightened. They understood Cao Weida's meaning: once the matter was over, Sang Liuji could go offline, and naturally, they wouldn't be traced back to him.

Matsui Koji put his arm around Cao Weida's shoulder and laughed heartily, "Cao-san, if there's anything good in the future, you'll have to call me. If Ono-kun hadn't informed me, I would have missed such a good deal."

“Yes,” Fujita Sousuke said with a smile, “I dare not say anything else, but in this small corner of Beiping, if you need people, I will give you people; if you need passes, I will give you passes!”

"Leave the intelligence to me! I can't guarantee anything else, but my information network is very reliable!"

Cao Wei Da could not disembark midway, and neither could Duobian Yi!
If he dared to disembark midway, he had no doubt that Ono Oda and his men would tear him apart!

Even his family might suffer as a result!

Therefore, since they had already made their decision, Duobianyi, having no other choice, could only board the ship again.

Moreover, after experiencing the allure of money, he did indeed become somewhat addicted to that feeling.

It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality
He worked in the anti-smuggling squad, where there was very little opportunity for personal gain. Even if he caught a wealthy person, before he could even extort money from them, a call would come from above.

Catching poor people is even less interesting; they don't have much money, and you end up with dirt on them, so it's not worth it at all.

"Don't worry, officers, I certainly won't forget you if there's anything good." Seeing that the matter had been basically settled, Cao Weida's smile became noticeably wider.

He knew that even if the matter was successfully completed, his cut would not be much.

But it doesn't matter, he wasn't expecting to make much money from this anyway.

He was already thinking about how to deal with these traitors in a way that would make them feel even more pain.

With the deal settled, the next step was naturally to eat, drink, and have fun.

Of course, hostesses were an indispensable part of this. After drinking until their faces were flushed, they eagerly dragged the women to the rooms.

Cao Wei Da naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to win glory for the country. He worked up a good sweat, and after the woman fell asleep exhausted, he pressed her Fengchi acupoint on the back of her head twice.

After confirming that the woman was in a deep sleep, Cao Weida took out his night clothes from his spatial storage, put them on, opened the window, and quietly climbed out.

After acquiring the "Dragonfly Skimming Water" lightness skill, this was the first time Cao Wei Da had used it to leap across rooftops and walls.

It must be said that lightness skill is truly lightness skill; flying over rooftops and scaling walls is as easy as walking on flat ground.

Before acquiring the skill, although his physical abilities were excellent, he could easily leap up walls more than two meters high using his explosive power, but it made quite a commotion.

With the ability to move lightly, one doesn't need much strength at all; just a couple of light taps on the wall are enough to silently flip over.

Running on the uneven walls and rooftops with various obstacles is incredibly easy.

That feeling of soaring high and low is truly captivating.

Of course, he didn't indulge in it for long; he wasn't here to test his light-footed skills tonight. The streets were eerily quiet at night; the sound of the night watchman, which had been a constant presence since the early Republican era, had long since vanished.

Not far away, a patrol of Japanese soldiers carrying Type 38 rifles walked past the alley entrance.

One of the Japanese soldiers spoke in Japanese, and the patrol stopped.

Then, one of the Japanese soldiers left the group with him. The two of them slung their Type 38 rifles over their shoulders and walked towards the alley entrance while unbuckling their belts.

Cao Weida, whose eyes were peeking out from under the eaves where they couldn't see him, had a sudden flash of inspiration when he saw this.

"Hmph, urinating and defecating anywhere, you're obviously no good. It'll be the two of you!"

Just as the two Japanese soldiers loosened their belts and were enjoying themselves against the wall, Cao Weida had already silently crept up behind them.

Click~click~
Two crisp sounds rang out in succession, and the two jets of water suddenly changed from shooting horizontally to shooting skyward.

Fortunately, Cao Wei Da dodged quickly, otherwise he might have been warmed by the warmth.

Without any further venting, he immediately slapped the back of the two men's heads twice, and the struggling Japanese soldiers rolled their eyes and went silent.

Suppressing his disgust, he threw the two Japanese soldiers' corpses into his spatial storage and immediately found a place to hide.

Then, he opened the panel and looked at it with a look of utter aggression.

[System: The Slacking-Off System.]

[Host: Cao Weida.]

[Slacking off spot: 81.]

【.】

Upon seeing the number of spots for catching fish, Cao Weida was overjoyed.

In the morning, I had 63 "slacking off" points. After a day, I naturally gained 8 more, bringing my total to 81. This is enough to confirm my guess!

As expected, the increase was due to killing Japanese soldiers!
He had some suspicions.

This broken system has no intelligence, and it even seems somewhat mentally challenged.

In this day and age, police officers don't work eight hours a day, but twelve!
Actually, it's not just the police; basically anyone who works doesn't have an eight-hour workday.

However, this broken system uses the legal working hours of the future as the standard, only recognizing work attendance of eight hours a day and 22 days a month.

His current identity is that of a police officer, and according to his professional role, arresting criminals and solving cases is what he should be doing.

His assassination attempt truly goes against the duties of a police officer.

Who knows, this idiotic system might think he's a model of slacking off.
As for why the Japanese soldier and two traitors he killed at the beginning didn't get any free time, he guessed that they probably felt that the other side wanted to kill them, so they were acting in self-defense.

Forget it, whatever the reason, it at least proves one thing: he can indeed get some slacking points by killing the Japanese!

His eyes began to gleam as he greedily eyed the remaining eleven Japanese soldiers waiting under the streetlight.

One Japanese soldier only gives you five fishing points. If you kill all the remaining Japanese soldiers, wouldn't you get fifty-five fishing points?
He glanced at the StG44 assault rifle in his backpack, wishing he could pull it out and shoot them right away.

Unfortunately, it's just a thought. After that incident, the Japanese are now conducting strict checks, and there are quite a few patrols at night.

Not only the Japanese soldiers, but also the police and collaborators. If they opened fire, it would cause a huge commotion. Even though he is now agile, he has never been so reckless as to fight without restraint.

Safety should be the top priority. Work discreetly and avoid firing shots.

He watched the Japanese soldiers so close at hand, like a hunter ready to pounce on his prey.

Under the dim streetlights, the Japanese sergeant waited for five minutes, but his comrades still hadn't returned. He immediately cursed angrily.

Then, pointing to a Japanese soldier standing nearby, he said, "You, go and call them back! You bastards, daring to slack off at a time like this! After the patrol, I'll punish them severely!"

"Hayi!"

The Japanese soldier who was pointed at obediently followed orders, slung his Type 38 rifle over his shoulder, and scurried off into the alley where the Japanese soldier had just urinated.

His actions sealed the fate of the matter.

Seeing yet another Japanese soldier enter alone, Cao Weida was overjoyed, thinking to himself that the wait had not been in vain.

The Japanese soldier entered the alley and called out the names of two people in Japanese.

Cao Weida couldn't understand it either; it was all gibberish, and he didn't care to understand it. He simply jumped down and landed behind the Japanese soldier.

On a quiet night, although Cao Weida moved swiftly, he did not know internal energy cultivation, so he could not fall leaves silently. Jumping down from the high wall inevitably made some slight noise.

The Japanese soldier was alert; startled, he instinctively cried out and grabbed his rifle.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast he moved, he couldn't keep up with Cao Wei Da's movements.

Before he could even shout, he grabbed the other man's trachea and squeezed it hard!
Crack~~
A crisp sound, like bones being snapped, rang out. The Japanese soldier stared in disbelief. Before he could even react, he felt a powerful force on his head.
