All the heavens are bound to the palace intrigue system

Tsuen Wan, Green Willow New Estate.

Groups of two or three gangsters dressed in brightly colored clothes stood in an abandoned tennis court.

These are all gangsters who came to join the Vietnamese gang.

There were about a hundred people who came. Those who knew each other chatted casually, and everyone was looking forward to a bright future.

Among them, Yu Li was clearly an anomaly. He appeared to be standing in a corner with his eyes closed, resting, but in reality, he was happily communicating with the system in his mind. After confirming that the HK$300,000 reward for the mission could be materialized in his hands at any time, he was very satisfied.

On the way there, the blond guy's face was covered in red spots. Then, Yu Li scared him with a bunch of "terminal illnesses," and the unlucky kid quickly ran to the hospital and didn't even come to the talent show.

However, Huang Mao was a friend after all, and Yu Li couldn't bring himself to ruin Huang Mao's face for life. After repeatedly confirming with the system that the small dosage would only have a temporary effect and would quickly subside, Yu Li only added a drop of the disfiguring water to Huang Mao's drink. Perhaps Huang Mao would be completely healed before even reaching the hospital.

This also counts as disfigurement and ruined his "talent show," but the system ultimately determined that the mission was successful.

"Although the system is stupid, the rewards are real..." Yu Li felt that he should also try to accept the abstract nature of this system.

Just then, a commotion erupted at the gate, and two menacing-looking young men strode toward them, surrounded by a group of people.

The leader, with his triangular eyes and prominent cheekbones, looked menacing at first glance. The burly man following closely behind appeared simple-minded, but his bulging muscles made him someone to be reckoned with.

The murmurs of the gangsters immediately subsided, and they made way for the group to walk to the front.

A burly man wearing sunglasses looked around and shouted, "Quiet! Anyone who speaks again, get out!"

With his shout, the room fell silent. The man in sunglasses nodded in satisfaction and pointed to the man with the triangular eyes, introducing, "Our Vietnamese gang has three leaders, with Brother Scum being the highest, but he's absent today. This is Brother Tony; with Brother Scum gone, he's the highest-ranking. Call him over!"

"Tony!" the gangsters greeted in unison.

Tony remained silent, his expression cold, as his icy gaze swept across the faces of everyone present.

"This is Tiger!" the man in sunglasses said, pointing to the burly, good-looking man. "If you join the gang, you'd better not mess with him, because Tiger really will kill people!"

"Tiger, hello!" the gangsters said again.

Ah Hu grinned, looking just like a fierce tiger ready to devour its prey.

Brother Zha, Tony, Ah Hu...

Upon hearing these three familiar names, Yu Li felt an urge to turn around and run away.

Isn't this the movie he watched in his previous life called "Flash Point"?

In the story, the three Vietnamese brothers are the biggest villains. They are cruel, tyrannical, despicable, treacherous, and inhuman. In the end, they are completely destroyed by the righteous protagonist.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. The key issue is that besides their leader, Tony and Tiger, both are incredibly skilled fighters. If you accidentally offend them, one punch from them could send Yu Li to his grave. Moreover, these three brothers are extremely selfish and suspicious; they trust no one but themselves and treat their underlings very poorly.

This palace intrigue is quite challenging...

Despite having second thoughts, Yu Li ultimately decided to stay.

"When a man dies, he flies to the heavens; if he doesn't die, he lives forever." Let's give it a shot! Since I've transmigrated and gained a system, I might as well not waste this opportunity.

In a real imperial harem selection, family background, appearance, and demeanor are considered, but gangs certainly don't look at these factors when recruiting members. Most gangs in Hong Kong only recruit acquaintances, since it's easier to control someone you know well.

But the Vietnamese gang was clearly an exception. These three brothers were outsiders and had no acquaintances in the area, which is why they used this wide-net approach to recruit followers.

However, even if they are short of staff, they can't just take anyone.

Sure enough, the man in sunglasses immediately followed up, saying, "Our Vietnamese gang is different from other organizations. We only look at two things when recruiting members—first, their fighting ability! Second, their loyalty!"

"Whether you're loyal or not will only be known over time, but your fighting ability and willingness to fight are the criteria for whether you can join the Vietnamese gang today. Now, listen to my order, everyone line up, ten people per row..."

These Vietnamese gang members were all former soldiers, veterans of battle. For them, lining them up was a piece of cake.

After a flurry of activity and the counts were announced, the man in sunglasses then ordered that odd numbers be grouped into one team and even numbers into another, standing on either side of the court.

"Damn, are we going to get ganged up on?" Yu Li's eyelids twitched.

He hasn't been in a fight for years. Although this body is young, in terms of experience, how can he compare to these petty thugs who have been fighting on the streets for years?

"I'm at a disadvantage with this selection process. What if I don't get selected?" Yu Li wondered to himself, but he refused to give up easily.

It would be too embarrassing to not even pass the first hurdle.

"See those guys over there?" the man in sunglasses sneered. "Now, charge over there and take them down! The last one standing gets to join the gang!"

"We can only outsmart them..." After confirming his guess, Yu Li's eyes darted around. Sure enough, he actually came up with a way to fish in troubled waters.

These hundred-plus people are all newcomers; none of them know each other. Most importantly, Yu Li is very low-key, so nobody recognizes him. If a fight breaks out later, the scene will definitely be chaotic, and then who will be able to tell who's on which side?

Hmm? Yu Li suddenly realized that perhaps the Vietnamese gang didn't care which side won; they just wanted the last one standing.

In that case...

"Now, I'll count to three, and then we'll start fighting. One, two, three! Charge!" the man in sunglasses roared.

"Charge!"

"Dry them to death!"

"Let's give it our all!"

The gangsters charged at each other with howls.

For gangsters, fighting in groups is not a bad thing; on the contrary, it is an opportunity to make a name for themselves, so most of them are very excited.

Soon, they clashed, and the two groups of people were instantly locked in combat.

Angry shouts, screams of agony, and punches landing with flesh!

It has to be said that Yu Li even felt a long-lost sense of passion.

But he quickly calmed down. He didn't rush to the very end, nor to the very front, but rather stayed in the middle.

In the instant of close combat, he suddenly turned to the side and took a step back!

Don't be fooled by this sideways movement. You should know that when they first start fighting, these gangsters don't use their brains at all. Whoever is facing them is considered their opponent, and they just go for it.

So when faced with someone face-to-face, they'll fight without saying a word.

But with Yu Li turning to the side, no one could tell which side he was on, so the two sides that rushed up tacitly bypassed him and went to find their clear targets.

This one small movement allowed Yu Li to dodge the first wave of impact.

Of course, this clever trick can only be used in the initial moment; it will become useless as the situation becomes chaotic.

But what Yu Li wanted was to take advantage of this momentary opening. Once all the gangsters had found their targets and started fighting, Yu Li's real move began.

His mind raced, his eyes scanned the entire arena, and he immediately joined the first battle!

Four people surrounded and beat two people. Yu Li didn't care who was on which side and joined the group, punching and kicking the two who were already on the ground.

Soon the two men were wailing and begging for mercy.

boom!

At that moment, someone kicked Yu Li's companion away, and soon seven or eight people surrounded him.

"Fuck your mother!" Yu Li sensed the situation was turning bad early on, and suddenly roared as he rushed out to join another battle.

This melee was a three-on-two situation. As Yu Li joined the side with more people, the remaining two were immediately outmatched and were forced to retreat.

As Yu Li fought, his eyes darted around, and he quickly noticed that five people were fighting three others...

"Fuck your mother!" he roared, abandoning his companions, and charged forward again.

Six against three, the result speaks for itself.

"Fuck your mother!" Before the battle here was over, Yu Li discovered another battle where the enemy outnumbered him, and without saying a word, he joined in.

Thus, Yu Li appeared incredibly "brave" in the arena. He moved around, and whenever he saw a battle where the enemy outnumbered him, he would immediately roar "Pu Ni Amu!" and charge in, specifically targeting the weaker party.

Although they inevitably suffered some retaliation during the process, they still gained a significant advantage overall.

However, as more and more people fell to the ground, Yu Li's tactic became ineffective.

Since most of the remaining people are in groups, it's impossible to tell which group is better or worse just by looking at the number of people.

So in a battle where Yu Li was outnumbered six to four, Yu Li suffered a loss.

Because the other team has a black guy who's really good at fighting!
