Chapter 3

Listener, the specific series of novels that the Controller mentioned is unknown for now, but entering the Martial World with just a bit of foresight actually isn't very effective. Chen Mo asked with a hint of anticipation:

"Is there any discount for the first mission? How about something like a Great Restorative Pill?"

If he had decent martial strength from the start, completing the mission would definitely be much easier. If he went as a mere worker, even with a thorough understanding of the plot, his chances of survival would be slim.

Unfortunately, the Controller did not provide an answer, and his voice remained cold as he said:

"You'll know when you get there. The first mission begins in the 'Deer and the Cauldron' world. Mission 1: Obtain the treasure map from the Eight Volumes and Forty-Two Chapters. Reward for completion: 20 Martial Points. Mission 2: Kill Wei Xiaobao or have him die prematurely. Reward for completion: 30 Martial Points. Mission 3: Kill Emperor Kangxi or have him die within the mission time limit. Reward for completion: 50 Martial Points.

Mission duration: From Wei Xiaobao's arrival in the capital until the end of the 'Deer and the Cauldron' plot. Completing any two missions allows you to leave early. Completing one mission results in no reward if the plot ends. Completing all three missions results in a random reward. If all missions fail and your Martial Points are below 20, the Chosen One dies.

After completing the mission, the Martial World Gate will enhance your physical attributes in the real world. Although far weaker than in the Martial World and without any energy support, as long as you have the heart of a martial artist, you will be fearless in reality. Strive to complete all missions as soon as possible, and you will be able to ignore all constraints."

Upon hearing about the 'Deer and the Cauldind' world, Chen Mo felt a bit happier. At least he had read the novel countless times out of envy and jealousy for Wei Xiaobao's ability to find wives. As for the mission content, killing the lecher Wei Xiaobao and the Tartar Emperor Kangxi caused him no mental burden, let alone the Forty-Two Chapters containing the treasure map.

Upon learning that the energy and strength gained in the Martial World could not be brought back to reality, Chen Mo felt a bit depressed. However, the Martial World Gate also had the effect of enhancing his real-world physical attributes, so he could only hope to see the results after completing the final mission.

"Deer and the Cauldron... to be a disruptor? Sigh..."

Chen Mo was still recalling the plot of 'Deer and the Cauldron' when a flash of white light appeared in the Martial World Gate. He felt dizzy, and when he opened his eyes, he saw three men in gray robes with pigtail braids attacking a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance but a cold demeanor.

Before he could react, the middle-aged man turned back and shouted at him:

"Xiao Mo, quickly hide in the bushes. I'll kill these three Qing dogs and come find you."

"Xiao Mo?"

Chen Mo was taken aback, and then he heard the Controller's voice:

"Chen Mo; Chen Jinnan's servant, 19 years old, has learned some basic martial arts from Chen Jinnan. He was just killed by Qing assassins with a heavy hand to the heart. Now you have taken his identity, which is your identity in this world. The middle-aged man in scholar's attire is Chen Jinnan.

For your first mission, the Martial World Gate grants you special rewards: ordinary martial bloodline, mastery of military boxing, a small iron knife, a Tranquility Pill, +5 strength, +5 intelligence, +5 reaction.

Mission protection countdown: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. I wish you success in your mission. If you need anything, silently think of the Controller, and I will provide explanations at any time."

Chen Mo suddenly felt a chill in his body. He could clearly feel himself becoming slightly stronger, and a set of simple yet lethal martial techniques quickly imprinted in his mind. He blinked, and before he could react, a palm struck his forehead.

His body instantly reacted, stepping back and catching the palm with his right hand. He then grabbed the attacker's arm and threw him backward.

This move was a back throw from military boxing. The assassin attacking Chen Mo did not expect the frail servant to suddenly have martial arts skills. Combined with Chen Mo's considerable strength from long-term labor, the assassin, being a minor character, was thrown out by Chen Mo.

The middle-aged man, who was initially startled, quickly killed the two assassins and leaped back three yards, striking the assassin Chen Mo had thrown with a palm.

"Crack."

The middle-aged man's palm was powerful, and with one strike, he crushed the assassin's head into his shoulders. Chen Mo, seeing the assassin's bulging eyes, felt his stomach churn and rushed to the side of the road to vomit.

"Xiao Mo, it seems I need to teach you some martial arts. If you keep vomiting every time you see a dead body, how can you continue in the Heaven and Earth Society?" The middle-aged man walked to Chen Mo's side, patting his back and speaking softly.

Chen Mo knew this man was Chen Jinnan and was well aware of the leader of the anti-Qing and pro-Ming society's reputation. However, to be honest, Chen Jinnan's martial arts skills probably wouldn't rank in the top fifty in the 'Deer and the Cauldron' world. His fame as the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society made him almost universally known.

Chen Mo knew he was no longer the worker who struggled to earn money to build a house and marry a wife. To survive better, he had to face such killings. He spat out some bile and said in a low voice:

"Grandmaster, I will get used to it. However, these Qing dogs keep纠缠不清, it seems we need to overthrow them sooner."

Chen Jinnan did not notice any difference in Chen Mo. The effects of the Martial World Gate were similar to the main god in the novel, giving Chen Mo a powerful ability. He could feel that although his appearance had not changed, his forehead was bald, and he had a small tuft of hair on the back of his head, with a pigtail braid no thicker than a little finger.

Chen Jinnan took out a bound book from his chest and handed it to Chen Mo, saying:

"Yes, our Green Wood Hall chief in the capital, Yin Xiang, was killed by the Qing dogs. I need to go and arrange things. Otherwise, the Green Wood Hall brothers in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Zhili, Xuzhou, and the capital will be in chaos. We will enter the capital tonight. This is my cultivation technique, the Jade Jade Technique, and the Jade Breaking Hand. Although it won't make you a top expert, it will allow you to dominate the martial world and easily deal with these ordinary Qing assassins."

Chen Mo secretly rejoiced as he took the secret manual from Chen Jinnan. He quickly flipped through it, and the Controller's voice entered his ears:

"Jade Jade Technique, an internal cultivation technique, ranked at the upper D level, can be cultivated to the super-first-class realm. Jade Breaking Hand, a palm technique, ranked at the upper D level.

Internal cultivation techniques and martial arts techniques are divided into twelve major levels: Respect, Tyrant, God, Immortal, Heaven, A, B, C, D, E, J, G. Each level is further divided into upper, middle, and lower sub-levels.

It takes 100 Martial Points to automatically cultivate an internal technique, 10 points to master a martial arts technique, 50 points to become proficient, 200 points to become a grandmaster, and 500 points to reach the ultimate realm.

For the first acquisition of a cultivation technique or martial arts technique, the Martial World Gate rewards automatic cultivation of the internal technique, one year of internal energy, and proficiency in the martial arts technique."

Chen Mo felt another chill in his body. A warm current in his dantian began to move along the route of the Jade Jade Technique, and the five moves and thirty-five techniques of the Jade Breaking Hand quickly appeared in his mind.

Chen Mo did not expect things to go so smoothly. Not only did he obtain Chen Jinnan's secret manual, but the Martial World Gate also allowed him to directly cultivate the internal technique and learn a martial arts technique far superior to military boxing.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. The world Chen Mo entered was a martial world, and in this world, martial artists killing each other was a common occurrence. If he wanted to complete the mission of killing an emperor with just military boxing, it would be extremely difficult.
