Chapter 272: The idea of ​​monopolizing the bounty

After reading the letter, Zhou You felt relieved.

Who else could it be? Definitely Qi Fengxiao.

This guy is really mean. He just left and he offered a bounty on me.

Not daring to fight openly, but stabbing someone in the back, what a joke!

Zhou You got angry just thinking about it. The bounty was only 10,000 taels. Who were you looking down on?

If I were to offer a reward for Qi Fengxiao, it would be at least ten times this amount. A mere 100,000 taels was something he could afford.

"The situation is somewhat serious."

As the saying goes, a thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days!
From now on, Zhou You must be on guard against attacks day and night, because there is no shortage of poor and crazy warriors in this world who will come to fight him for ten thousand taels.

There are also some guys who are willing to do anything to achieve their goals and may even attack his parents.

"Qi Fengxiao, you are seeking death by doing this."

Zhou You was holding the envelope when he suddenly heard a prompt on the panel, triggering a trial project.

“Trial Project (Five-Star): Complete the Thousand Faces Hall bounty and assassinate Zhou You.”

laugh!
Zhou You couldn't hold it in any longer. Was the panel crashing or had a seizure? Did it want me to kill myself?
You, no matter how much experience points you give me, I can't do it!

Suddenly he changed his mind and realized that things were not that simple. The key to triggering this task was... Li Hao's letter.

The letter mentioned the bounty offered by Qianmiantang, which meant that assassinating Zhou You was not the goal; the purpose of the mission was the bounty.

Well, you don’t necessarily have to commit suicide, right?

Zhou You could have used a second identity to claim the bounty and delayed fulfilling it.

This way, he could occupy the mission and avoid the risk of being assassinated by other unknown warriors, killing two birds with one stone.

correct!

Zhou You was also startled. As Zhou You, he was a target of assassination, but as Lu Zhigang, he could be a bounty hunter, playing two roles.

The conditions were met, the panel, and I agreed.

“Trial Project (Five-Star): Complete the Thousand Faces Hall bounty and assassinate Zhou You.”

"Since you play ≥2 roles in this mission, you meet the projection requirements. Please select the projection location."

After hearing the feedback from the panel, Zhou You knew that his guess was correct, so he decisively chose...Fucheng.

There is no time to lose. We must complete this task after the news from the provincial capital reaches Gongliang City.

……

Zhou You appeared on the streets of the city, looked at the familiar environment, and nodded silently.

He strode towards the Thousand Faces Hall and soon reached his destination.

There are countless bungalows on both sides of Qianmian Hall, almost carved from the same mold, with no windows and only one door for entry and exit.

These bungalows are called 'information houses' and sell only one kind of goods, the personal information of the target for which a reward is offered.

The biggest profit point of Qianmiantang is not the commission from the bounty, but the buying and selling of intelligence information about the bounty targets.

A piece of information can be sold indefinitely, which is a very profitable business.

Zhou You could guess that since his name was on the list, countless copies of his private information had been sold.

Be patient and keep calm.

He scanned the list of Qianmian Hall and selected a person, "Wu Zhuifeng, the Iron Palm martial arts master, was a disciple of the Iron Palm martial arts school in the city. He raped and killed his junior sister and then fled. In the process of resistance, he killed 13 fellow disciples."

"This person is at the 9th stage of Qi and Blood, cruel and vicious, and has been hiding in the countryside around the city."

"There are 47 bounty hunters who have died at his hands."

"The reward is 7000 taels." The reward was a little less, but it was raised by the fellow disciples of the victim and the sufferer.

The Iron Palm Martial Arts School also had martial artists, but they did not come forward to hunt down Wu Zhuifeng, but let him go unpunished.

Zhou You felt very satisfied, so he targeted this person and killed the chicken and monkey!

Since Wu Zhuifeng's achievements were too "brilliant", no one had claimed his bounty for a long time. After all, that junior sister's family was poor, and the bounty was pooled together by several fellow disciples, which could not attract a true master.

Zhou You easily received the reward, and a rebel popped his head out of the news room nearby.

"Brother, do you want to buy news?"

"how much is it?"

"You are receiving the bounty for Wu Zhuifeng. He is a cunning man with 7 or 8 hiding places. His whereabouts are erratic. If you want to know his specific whereabouts, you have to pay this price."

The other party gestured a number, which was 12000 taels.

In other words, if Zhou You bought this information, he would have lost 5000 taels before he even set out. Even if he succeeded in taking the head, in the final settlement, he would still have suffered a net loss of taels.

"No, it's too expensive."

The receptionist at the message room watched him leave and chuckled, "Good luck."

The 47 bounty hunters who went and never returned were all reluctant to spend money.

Counting Zhou You, this is already the 48th one.

The receptionist wrote his name on the paper... Poison Goose Lu Zhigang hesitated for a moment and did not write the second half of the sentence "Mission failed, death" in advance.

It took several days for the news that the poisonous goose Lu Zhigang had appeared in Qianmian Hall to reach Zhang Huaimin's ears.

Zhou You was walking on the main street of the city, and there was a reminder on the panel beside him:
"New trial item (three stars): Kill Wu Zhuifeng."

Look, this is a serious task. It is concise and clear what it is about.

Zhou You didn't buy the news, he was just sure that the panel had the function of guiding the target.

When he was in Qianmian Hall, he had heard others talking about how Wu Zhuifeng was afraid of being pursued by the martial arts school if he stayed in the city, so he fled to the countryside outside the city and hid there, building several secret rooms and tunnels.

To lock a target, you must first circle a rough range and then you can locate it specifically through the panel.

Half a day later, the person Zhou You was waiting for arrived.

Three young men in dark blue martial arts robes stopped in front of Zhou You and introduced themselves as disciples of the Iron Palm Martial Arts School.

"Lu Zhigang, the poisonous goose, we heard that you have been assigned the task of killing Wu Zhuifeng. We will write you a message."

They are one of the investors of the crowdfunding bounty and also good friends of the murdered female disciple.

He had already given up hope of revenge, but when he suddenly heard that Poison Goose Lu Zhigang had accepted the mission, his hope was immediately rekindled.

Even if Poison Goose Lu Zhigang is not capable of this, he still has a sworn brother, Zhang Huaimin, who is a mid-level martial artist and will surely be able to succeed.

Several disciples hurriedly found Zhou You and listed in detail the places where Wu Zhuifeng had appeared, and even introduced the situations of the bounty hunters who had died previously.

"The Iron Palm was taught by our master, so we are not in a position to reveal the details. But that beast Wu Zhuifeng thought he was smart, so he mixed the iron sand he used for training with volcanic magma, which gave him the added power of fire poison."

"Master's comment: This is like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. How stupid."

"His famous weapon is a pen-holding iron hand. When used with an iron palm, its power is doubled and it can break through hard skills to protect the body."

"That's all we can say. Lu Zhigang, please!"

After giving the information, several disciples from the Iron Palm Martial Arts School immediately turned around and said goodbye.

Zhou You looked at the summarized information and fell into deep thought. Everything was ready, only the east wind was missing.

This battle is for him to establish his authority, and it must be resolved cleanly and efficiently to make him famous as the Poison Goose.

Only in this way, when he monopolizes Zhou You's bounty next time, can he calm down the many warriors who are coveting the bounty!
