Gao Wu: I can portray characters from all realms.

Day 13 of playing Li Yuanba, morning.

Tang Luo withdrew the blood-stained golden hammer from his hand and frowned as he looked at the bear carcass in front of him. For some reason, he felt that this black bear was somewhat similar to the 'Jade Python' he had seen before.

But after waiting for a long time, I still didn't see any change.

After pondering for a moment, knowing he couldn't see the outcome, Tang Luo turned to look at the dense forest behind him and said softly, "Come in."

Then a group of hunters dressed in linen clothes and with capable expressions filed in, each taking out tools and beginning to dismantle the huge black bear in front of Tang Luo.

"After today, I will leave the Qilian Mountains. Take care of yourselves."

"Oh? You're leaving? Why didn't you say so sooner? I could have made proper preparations for the master."

Seeing this, the lead hunter hurriedly winked at the younger hunter behind him. The younger hunter was initially puzzled, until the lead hunter kicked him aside and said fiercely, "Hurry up and go back to the village to inform them!"

Tell those women to prepare a meal; we have guests coming tonight!

Only then did the young hunter realize what was happening, and he staggered toward the village.

Tang Luo shook his head, ignoring the departing hunter, and turned to say, "Same as before, half for me, half for you."

"good!"

After the lead hunter finished speaking, Tang Luo turned around and walked deeper into the Qilian Mountains.

He himself didn't really need these hunters. In the end, with his strength, as long as he was willing to ask, there were plenty of merchants and pharmacies willing to help him control them, even for free.

He didn't know if there were any other hunters as powerful as him in the Qilian Mountains, but in Dongling, he was truly one of a kind.

Even if he were to sell ordinary antelopes or hares, the price he would receive would be more than these hunters could ever earn in their entire lives.

but.....

Tang Luo glanced at the task under the corner of his eye.

Main Quest 1: The Roc Descends to Earth, Seven Killings Enter His Fate

[Content: The roc descends to earth not to bring peace to the world, but to cause war on earth!]

Slay demons, slay monsters, slay ghosts, slay people; kill all who see them, without exception.

Li Yuanba's main mission is simply to kill. He is unwilling to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and it is too troublesome to specifically target evil people, resulting in too few kills. Therefore, he enters the Qilian Mountains to slaughter beasts.

Not only can you complete the task, but you can also receive a substantial reward.

But on the other hand, while he was enjoying himself, the hunters who relied on these mountains for their livelihood were in dire straits.

Tang Luo had no aversion to meat; he killed large bears and pythons, and even smaller wild rabbits, fat rats, and snakes.

The latter, in particular, due to their sheer numbers and rapid reproduction rate, made him even more unscrupulous in his killing.

Although the latter's characteristics meant that hunters still had something to hunt, the selling price was less than half of what it used to be.

They can no longer support themselves.

With a flick of his toe, Tang Luo sent a stone flying into the bushes next door, hitting a bamboo viper on the head. Then, one of the hunters in the crowd behind him stepped forward to collect the snake's carcass.

Looking at the somewhat inexperienced hunter, Tang Luo recalled that day.

The lead hunter followed timidly behind him, carrying what was perhaps the most precious "gift" he had ever received. He approached him, stammering and offering compliments for a long time before finally telling him that they were going to have no more hunts.

It was then that Tang Luo realized the immense trouble he had caused these people.

The so-called "gift" was a snake-scale armor.

It was two hundred and eighty taels of silver that several villages pooled together.

Thinking of this, Tang Luo glanced at the ring on his hand again.

Inside this ring lies a sum of silver that all the people here combined could never earn in a lifetime.

The power of the "extraordinary" has led to an excessive concentration of resources in this world.

With each advancement in cultivation level, one's net worth increases more than tenfold!

Tang Luo glanced at the hunter behind him again, quite satisfied with the solution he had come up with.

He would never give money directly, even if he had it.

Therefore, he came up with this perfect solution.

The hunter was responsible for collecting the carcasses of the animals he had killed, while he continued with his own tasks; they divided the work, each taking half.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Tang Luo only gave half to these people. They were selling their prey under Tang Luo's name, so the base price of the prey was 50% higher than before. Moreover, those large, extraordinary beasts, like the Jade Python, were ones they couldn't hunt.

But Tang Luo still gave them half.

It should be noted that a single jade python was worth 100,000 taels of silver, and he has killed far more than just one.

Thanks to the vast Qilian Mountains, Tang Luo killed more than ten times more basic beasts than they had combined.

The power of the "extraordinary" brings with it an incomparably powerful productivity; the output of just one Tang Luo can overwhelm that of a village with hundreds or even thousands of people.

Tang Luo was generous and gave half of everything.

The income from just these ten days is at least equivalent to the income they earned from nearly ten years of hard hunting, and there is no risk of death.

With that thought in mind, Tang Luo flicked his toe slightly, sending a pebble flying with the wind, intending to pierce the throat of a wild rabbit in the distance.

As he traveled, all the non-human creatures that could breathe along the way lost their life.

………………

………………

On the fourteenth day of playing Li Yuanba, in the morning, in the small courtyard of my rented house.

Thump! Thump thump thump!

Tang Luo got up and opened the door, and a strong figure blocked the sunlight entering the room.

Before my eyes was a familiar figure—Qin Chen? What was he doing here?

Tang Luo tilted his head slightly and noticed that Zhang He and He Lian were also following behind Qin Chen.

Zhang He pulled out a few pills from somewhere and put them in his mouth. Seeing Tang Luo's gaze, he hesitated for a long time, then pulled out a few more pills from somewhere and handed them to Tang Luo.

Seeing this, Tang Luo pursed his lips and did not take the pill from Zhang He's hand.

"Keep it for yourself."

To be fair, Qin Chen was truly extravagant. When he returned, he saw that Zhang He was also wearing an empty ring, which meant that he had undoubtedly also received a large amount of resources.

Even now, people are taking "fasting pills" every day. Are you treating this like candy?!

After Tang Luo finished speaking, he turned to look at Qin Chen.

Seeing Tang Luo looking at him, Qin Chen gave a gentle smile and said softly:

"There's going to be a spectacle at the execution ground today. I'd like to invite a few of you to come along. Is that alright?"

???

Even in the extraordinary world, "execution at the execution ground" is an extremely serious matter.

Generally speaking, only the most heinous and extremely influential criminals would be executed; most of the time, they would "die of illness" in prison.

After all, to carry out an execution at the execution ground, one needs to report to the county and wait for approval. But dying of illness in prison is different; it's an "accidental death," and there's a quota for it, so why not use it?

Therefore, Tang Luo didn't understand what Qin Chen was trying to hide.

But considering Qin Chen's quick payment, Tang Luo still got up, tidied himself up, and followed Qin Chen to the execution ground.

After walking only a few steps, Tang Luo heard Qin Chen's voice coming from ahead:

"After the battle that day, the Prefect of Yunjing County came to the Prince Duan's residence in person and told me some good news."

I have been personally selected by the Prime Minister to become his disciple. Once I return to the capital, he will hold a grand ceremony to formally accept me as his disciple.

I did not refuse.

Upon hearing this, Tang Luo paused in his tracks.

"Pack"

Tang Luo cursed inwardly.

Are there really that many geniuses in this world?

One Zhang He, with his titles of "Favored by the God of Fate" and "Holy Son of the Underworld," and the other Qin Chen, with his titles of "Saint" and "Perfect Man," have now been accepted as disciples by the current Prime Minister.

What is the concept of a prime minister in the current dynasty?

That's a powerful expert who can create a canyon equivalent to three-eighths the length of the equator. Right now, he can't even touch the hair on the other person's feet when he reaches out.

No, are you cheating or am I cheating?

There's also a Silver Moon, who's also a cheater.

Qin Chen, of course, couldn't hear Tang Luo's inner grumbling, and continued:

"The more I cultivate and the more I control my power, the more I understand that in this world, absolute power is everything."

Other so-called "morality" and "ethics" are meaningless in the hands of the strong.

Emperor Wu killed his son, yet he was still Emperor Wu; Emperor Taizu killed his brother, yet he was still Emperor Taizu.

Even my nominal "master," who controls the government and installs puppets, doesn't affect his reputation.

So?

Tang Luo was somewhat puzzled, wondering what he was going to say.

Tang Luo understood these principles much earlier and more thoroughly than he did.

Then, Tang Luo saw the noisy execution ground.

The execution ground in Dongling was located in a corner of the city center. It wasn't very big. In Tang Luo's memory, it was at most similar to the martial arts training ground of the Prince Duan's mansion. Moreover, it had been empty for a long time, was extremely dilapidated, and was covered in dust. It was deserted year-round.

But what you see now is a wide, brand-new bluestone road, and a group of executioners carrying ring-pommel swords and wearing red headbands, looking extremely dignified.

Beside the imposing executioner was a long line of brand-new prison wagons stretching as far as the eye could see, with prisoners waiting to be slaughtered inside.

The crowd surrounding the execution ground was enormous, and stones, gravel, or tree branches were frequently thrown from the crowd, hitting the prisoners in the prison van.

Among them, Tang Luo saw many familiar figures.

The most memorable scene was Wang Shuwen, the third young master of the Wang family, whom he saw at the beginning, who wanted to run over He Lian with his horse.

He was also imprisoned in the car, his mouth gagged with a white cloth, his eyes fixed on one direction, the resentment and hatred in his eyes were so obvious that Tang Luo was a little curious about who he hated.

Tang Luo followed Wang Shuwen's gaze and saw a somewhat thin, familiar figure.

He pondered for a moment before recalling the person in his mind—Wang Yuande.

He had lost a lot of weight, no longer looking plump, but emaciated, with unspeakable sorrow in his eyes.

If it weren't for the familiar facial features, Tang Luo wouldn't have recognized him.

What did he do to incur Wang Shuwen's resentment? And why was he so sorrowful?
