"Is this my cheat code?"

In the crowded dormitory room with about twenty people, Tang Luo tightened his mattress and looked at the seal script panel in front of him, feeling a surge of joy.

He first turned over and swayed back and forth in front of the apprentice snoring loudly beside him.

Seeing that he was not awakened by the blinding white light of the panel, and confirming that he probably couldn't see what was in front of him, she got up by the moonlight, put on her shoes and socks, and carefully avoided the apprentices sleeping in all sorts of strange positions before coming to the courtyard.

He had only been gone for ten days... no, he had only "awakened" to this point, but for him, each day felt like an eternity.

"In the ditch of feudal society, apprentices were treated like slaves!"

Tang Luo clenched his fists, bared his teeth, and his face was contorted with resentment.

Chopping wood, starting fires, washing clothes, cooking—working fourteen hours a day for nothing more than two meals of cornbread and plain porridge!

There's not even a speck of oil left!

Even when he was tricked into working in Dongguan during summer vacation in his previous life, that unscrupulous factory didn't dare to do this!

By the moonlight, I walked into the courtyard, leaned against the towering banyan tree, and sighed softly.

"Seven years of work experience and you can become a manager? Haha~, where can you find such a good deal?"

Think beautiful!

Those guys who've been doing this for over ten years, aren't they apprentices yet?!

Working for someone else means a lifetime of toil!

Tang Luo shook his head and sighed, as if he had returned to the time when he had just awakened.

I don't know what kind of luck it was, but in my previous life, I worked hard in the countryside for almost twenty years and finally landed a job at a big factory with a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan and 14 months' wages. I was just about to start the job when I woke up and opened my eyes, and lo and behold, I had transmigrated! All that hard work was for nothing!

At first, he was ambitious, believing that having been born in a province with a highly competitive college entrance examination system and having gone all the way from the countryside to Shanghai, he was bound to achieve something extraordinary, even in this feudal society.

Then, reality shattered it all!

Lighting a fire, chopping wood, washing clothes, cooking...

After two days of working like the original owner of this body, I felt mentally exhausted and physically sore and weak.

It felt like he was back in his senior year of high school, but at least in his senior year he was using his brain, and his excellent planning allowed him to balance work and rest. Moreover, the sense of accomplishment he felt after completing a set of exercises was far beyond what he could get from his current job.

Nowadays, tasks like chopping wood, washing clothes, and cooking are purely physical labor; no matter how skilled you are, you can't save much effort.

He was exhausted and penniless all day long, even more destitute than when he was at his poorest.

This thing hasn't generated any positive feedback yet!

In my past life, there were also complicated jobs similar to chopping wood, making fires, washing clothes, and cooking. Back then, this kind of work was called an "assembly line".

This is a mechanical, repetitive task, and such work has absolutely no "meaning".

Would he feel a sense of accomplishment because he chopped more firewood today than yesterday, or that the fire burned brighter today than yesterday?

There was only one fear: a future shrouded in uncertainty, devoid of light and darkness.

The more he did it, the more afraid, alarmed, and confused he became.

It's incredibly frustrating to want to die but also be afraid to.

Fortunately, a magic touch arrived.

Tang Luo took a deep breath, banishing the thought from his mind. With a sudden thought, rows of seal characters reappeared before him.

He hadn't looked closely before, but this time, he stared intently, reading every word carefully.

First, it means "to play a role," which should be interpreted as "to let oneself play a role."

The actor being portrayed is [Flying Bat Ke Zhen'e], which he knows. In Jin Yong's novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes, he is one of the masters of the protagonist Guo Jing and the leader of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. As for his abilities, to be honest, he only knows that he uses an iron crutch. As for whether he can throw darts, he doesn't know.

He was mostly aware that the person was blind and had a strong sense of justice.

Moreover, at this moment, Tang Luo's thoughts were racing, and a very peculiar question suddenly came to mind.

Jin Yong was not a science student, and his logic is not rigorous, which leads to many plot holes in his novels regarding combat power.

For example, in The Return of the Condor Heroes, which is a successor to The Return of the Condor Heroes, the tenth level of the Golden Wheel Monk's Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill is specifically described as having "the strength of a thousand catties in every movement".

But a thousand pounds of strength is actually not much. In the real world of his previous life, boxing champion Mike Tyson's strength test showed that he could reach 500 kilograms, which is equivalent to a thousand pounds.

However, this amount of power is far from enough to destroy monuments and shatter stones. The book describes Jinlun as being able to create sonic booms with a punch and collapse wooden ladders with the residual force of his palm strikes. This is something that cannot be achieved with the strength of a thousand catties.

Suddenly, Tang Luo saw the tall, blind phantom in front of him and the iron crutch in his hand, and the irrefutable evidence of the broken combat power in the book arose in his mind again.

The Flying Bat Ke Zhen'e standing before him used iron crutches, solid, fine iron crutches.

His iron crutch, with its distinctive design, must weigh at least several dozen kilograms, if not a hundred. He once read something like this:

"If one's strength is equal to that of one's tool, one can learn; if one's strength is ten times greater than that of one's tool, one can use it; if one's strength is twenty times greater than that of one's tool, one can be at ease."

This means that in the real world, strength roughly equal to the weight of a weapon is sufficient for forging; strength exceeding ten times the weight of a weapon is barely usable; and strength exceeding twenty times the weight of a weapon is more than enough.

This statement, understood by Tang Luo using his own common sense, should be correct.

However, even if Ke Zhen'e's iron crutch only weighs fifty jin, his strength must be at least five hundred jin. In fact, based on his effortless use of the iron crutch, it is not impossible that his arm strength exceeds one thousand jin.

However, if we calculate it this way, Ke Zhen'e's power is almost the same as that of the Golden Wheel Monk.

However, in the book, Ke Zhen'e is not even worthy of carrying the shoes of Jinlun Fawang.

Therefore, even though he had read Jin Yong's books, due to the inconsistent power levels in the books, Ke Zhen'e's actual combat strength fluctuated greatly.

Tang Luo sat cross-legged under the banyan tree, frowning and squinting as he pondered the pros and cons.

No matter what, Ke Zhen'e must possess power beyond that of ordinary people.

If this were just an ordinary feudal dynasty, he wouldn't care about the consequences and would accept the position anyway. Martial arts heroes can defeat ordinary people no matter what.

But unfortunately, this isn't the place.

"Ugh, damn it!"

Tang Luo sighed deeply, his whole body going limp as he leaned against the large banyan tree behind him, continuing to ponder.

This world is called "Karma," not any dynasty from the previous life. Its reign has lasted for over 1,500 years, and more importantly, this world has "cultivators."

In the Prince Duan's mansion where he lived, the first-class servants could practice the "Black Tiger Stance" and "Black Tiger Fist." When they mastered them, they entered the "Opening of the Aperture" stage, and it was said that they could easily gain strength of several hundred catties.

He had passed by the martial arts arena before and saw many people practicing boxing there, holding stone locks the size of stone pillars from his previous life, which looked terrifying enough.

If the servants are this capable, then the young masters and ladies are even more so.

However, it might be difficult for Ke Zhen'e from Baizhong to avoid eating beef here.

Tang Luo frowned, looking at the glaring "hate evil as if it were his enemy" requirement in the role requirements. His face scrunched up, and he was speechless.

"Sigh~"

Tang Luo sighed again, unsure of what to say.

This is not the modern society of the past. Under the current feudal system, the arrogance of those纨绔 (sons of wealthy and powerful families) far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people.

Especially in this world where there are cultivators and extraordinary powers, the lives of ordinary people are no longer considered important.

Putting aside everything else, just within this Prince's mansion, those young masters find 'sparring partners' and beat several servants to death every month. And this is under the condition that these young masters are beating their own servants with great restraint.

Before awakening, I had heard of more than five instances of bullying men and women, and of extortion and tyranny. And the number of unheard-of cases was probably more than ten times that.

In this situation, it would be extremely difficult for him to play the role of "Ke Zhen'e" well, someone who hates evil as if it were his enemy.

But Tang Luo didn't sigh too much. Instead, he slowly raised his eyes, and his expression gradually became firm.

Compared to these seemingly endless days, playing the role of [Ke Zhen'e] is clearly easier.

"If all else fails, we'll just use this role as seed money!"

Record his cultivation method, and then get a few more cultivation methods from this world; that should be enough!

It's much easier than being a third-class servant in a prince's mansion!
