Chapter 27 Big Character Poster: 260 Luck Points! (Four chapters today, please vote and follow!)

Chen Zhan made a self-deprecating remark, tore down the large poster on the notice wall, and turned to leave.

He had barely taken half a step when someone spoke up: "Hey, you, if you're going to look, fine, but why did you tear it?"

Immediately, men and women spoke up in support.

"So, the newspapers belong to your family?"

"What exactly is this thing?"

"Can't afford newspapers? Go pick up the discarded paper butts by the river."

At this time, people of decent status would often ride in rickshaws to read newspapers. After they finished reading, they would casually throw the newspapers away, letting them drift with the wind to the riverbank. So, you could often see newspapers that others had finished reading by the river, some half a page, some just a small piece.

Chen Zhan ignored him and continued walking.

A hand landed on his shoulder: "Bro, that's not fair! I just got here and haven't even seen anything yet."

Chen Zhan was stopped and could not leave even if he wanted to. He raised his hat brim, turned his head, and saw a strong man with his arm around his shoulder. The man was half a head taller than him and was almost two meters tall. There was a carrying pole next to him, and the two frames were covered with black cloth.

He was a traveling vendor, probably just arrived in the city.

Chen Zhan wasn't angry. He took off his straw hat, picked up the newspaper, and smiled, "Is there a problem with me using my own portrait?"

The face in the newspaper was exactly the same as Chen Zhan's under the straw hat. Everyone could see it clearly and also saw what was written in the newspaper: "Heinous crimes! Extermination of the entire family! Not a single chicken or dog left alive!"

The burly man released his grip on Chen Zhan, rubbed his hands together, and revealed a bewildered expression on his ferocious face.

He was too close to Chen Zhan. The four large characters "Exterminate the entire family" were in red and larger, making them clearly visible.

Chen Zhan wore a gentle smile, but in his eyes, there was only sinister terror.

No one spoke!

Chen Zhan put on his straw hat and left the crowd, which then dispersed in a great commotion.

It's human nature to join in the fun, but it's even more so to seek advantage and avoid harm. When people know that there's danger in joining in the fun, or even that they might lose their lives, few dare to go.

Chen Zhan turned into the alley, with several people still hanging far behind him.

Ignoring them, I walked along reading the big-character posters.

The more I looked at it, the more something seemed off. The above lines didn't mention any Japanese or any major sects; it was just a wanted notice from the Green Gang.

But the Green Gang had already issued a warrant for Chen Zhan's arrest, and it had been reported in the newspaper a few days ago. A reward of ten silver dollars was offered for his whereabouts!
The difference is that today's wanted notice reiterates the charges, including exaggerating the assault on Gao Zhenbei, making him seem like a heinous criminal who dragged the Sanwu Martial Arts Academy into the mess.

They exterminated the entire family, leaving not even a chicken or a dog alive.

The reward for being awarded the title of "heinous criminal" is increased to a thousand silver dollars!
And it doesn't matter whether they're dead or alive!

Chen Zhan crushed the big-character poster, which read, "Green Gang."

After walking around several alleys, with different groups of people following him, Chen Zhan felt that it was about time.

The speed suddenly increased, and the figure disappeared from the alley entrance.

A group of people chased to the alley entrance, but could not see Chen Zhan anywhere.

"What about people?"

"Let's split up and chase them!"

The group split into two, going left and right. They reached another alleyway, where Chen Zhan's figure disappeared. They had to split into two groups again.

The pursuers were gradually divided into several waves.

The population is becoming increasingly sparse.

In the northern part of the city, there are few people, many wastelands, and many dilapidated houses.

Chen Zhan's figure kept flashing at the alleyway ahead, and the four of them became increasingly uneasy as they chased after him, so they slowed down.

"Boss, I feel like he's playing us." one of the underlings said from behind.

"A thousand silver dollars is nice, but I'm afraid I won't live to spend it," another said.

They had all witnessed Chen Zhan's incredible prowess yesterday, where he punched Miyagi Nagaharu to death and kicked Chiba Shiro. The photo showed him on stage.

These days, martial arts masters really do kill.
"Boss, should we retreat? Go back and call for backup."

"Hmm, that makes sense. Let's retreat first."

The alley where the four were located was very narrow, and it was a bit crowded for two people to walk side by side. They decided to leave first and turned to go.

"Let's go, I said we'd leave first."

The leader, who had been leading the group, turned around and his view was blocked. The underlings in front of him didn't move, so he urged them on.

"Boss, we can't get away now, I'm afraid."

Their gaze passed over the shoulder in front of them and they saw a man in a straw hat standing about ten feet away, looking at the four of them. "Looking for me?" Chen Zhan asked.

"..."

"Excuse me, I've mistaken you for someone else."

"Hmm, it's alright. I need to talk to you about something."

Chen Zhan's words sent a chill down the spines of the four men, who gripped the clubs and knives on their backs tightly.

However, nothing too big happened.

A skill level that is even slightly higher is a significant advantage, let alone one that is several tens of inches higher.

Neither defend nor parry, one hit each.

Under Chen Zhan's calm smile, they didn't even dare to groan.

"I ask, you answer, can you live if you're satisfied?" He ignored the other three people and spoke to the man in the lead.

"Hey, hey, go ahead and ask me."

Chen Zhan pulled a newspaper from the other man's waist and pointed it at the portrait, saying, "Was this taken by your Green Gang?"

The man was taken aback, clearly not expecting Chen Zhan to ask that question.

"I don't know either. Anyway, Master Yuan gave the order overnight that every member of the Green Gang should have a copy."

Chen Zhan nodded: "Raise the bounty to a thousand dollars, whether he lives or dies, Yuan Wen will give the order overnight?"

The man nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right."

Were there any Japanese people present at the time?

"Huh? Japanese? No, how could there be Japanese in the Green Gang? At that time, there was only Master Bai, Master Yuan, and two brothers under his command."

The two brothers he mentioned were similar to small-time bosses, on par with Zhang Laosan, a hoodlum or thug.

"Master Bai? Bai Yunsheng?" Chen Zhan asked curiously.

"Sir, you know your stuff. Master Bai rarely leaves his home. The fact that he's come out this time means you've gotten yourself into serious trouble and embarrassed the Green Gang."

Like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, telling everything clearly and completely.

Chen Zhan sneered inwardly. It wasn't just the Green Gang that had been slapped in the face, but the Japanese!
These two notorious traitors, who would later become infamous, had already defected to the Japanese by this time.

Concealing their tracks, they returned to the inn, but hadn't yet found this place.

Near the dock, there were many inns for passing merchants and porters.

Identity verification was very complicated in those days, with no unified standard. Students had student IDs, business owners had "membership cards" issued by guilds, and there were also special identities, such as patrol officers, who had their own identification.

Therefore, many people in guesthouses near the pier cannot prove their identity, making them the most difficult to investigate.

Chen Zhan didn't go through the main entrance. He deliberately opened the window when he left in the morning, and climbed directly into the room wearing a straw hat.

Without delay, the luck value has been settled directly in my mind after killing Miyagi Nagaharu and Chiba Shiro yesterday.

[Subject: Chen Zhan]

Age: 28

[World: Republic of China]

[Fate number: Short-lived ghost - gray (can be changed)]

[Life span: one hundred and five days]

[Ability: Fist Technique - Hidden Strength]

[Talent: Devouring Fate and Forging Destiny]

[Luck: 260 points]

Note 1: Due to illness, I can only perform at 80% of my full potential.

Note 2: Talent can steal luck, and destiny can be altered through luck!

Previously, there were 10 points remaining. Miyagi Nagaharu contributed 50, and Chiba Shiro had a total of 200.

In reality, the difference in their martial arts skills was not four times, but a person's luck is not determined solely by their current strength; potential also plays a role.

Chiba Shiro reached the Dark Force level in his twenties, while Miyagi Nagaharu was over thirty and had not yet entered the Dark Force level, showing a significant difference in talent and potential.

Therefore, Chiba Erbai truly deserves the title!

I can't wait to start changing my destiny!
What will happen if the fate of [Short-lived Ghost - Gray] is changed again?
