Doing bad deeds, the fastest way to achieve it is through two things: bullying men and dominating women. As the second son of the town chief of Luming Town, these two points were not an issue for Zheng Ming.
Having been in this world for over a decade, Zheng Ming had a general understanding of it.
Although there were many rules in this world, they could essentially be summed up in four words: the strong are respected.
Taking the Da Jin Dynasty, where he was, as an example, the highest status was held by martial artists. Once a martial artist reached a certain rank, they did not have to pay grain or taxes, and most of the restrictions on commoners did not apply to them.
The Zheng family, where Zheng Ming was from, was a ninth-rank family in the Da Jin Dynasty, controlling all the power in Qingchuan County.
Zheng Ming's father, Zheng Gongxuan, as a tenth-rank martial artist, held a hundred-mile territory, making him the town chief of Luming Town, one of the thirty-six towns under Qingchuan County!
Within this hundred-mile radius, life and death, and all forms of punishment, were under Zheng Gongxuan's control.
Although Zheng Ming's martial skills had not yet reached a rank, with a father who was like a local emperor, as long as he did not bully martial artists in the town, doing things like bullying men and dominating women was not a difficult task.
Let's start with bullying men!
Determined, Zheng Ming returned to Luming Town. As he looked around for a target, countless people greeted him.
"Second Young Master, would you like a bowl of fresh chicken soup dumplings?"
"Two fresh fish from my family, Second Young Master, perfect for making a soup at home!"
"Second Young Master, these are the new green fruits from my family, very sweet, take some to try!"
...
Looking at the enthusiastic people, Zheng Ming suddenly realized that he had inadvertently built a very good reputation in his pursuit of fame.
Now, seeing the sincere faces, it was not easy for him to start bullying people. But if he did not bully people, he would not gain fame points, and without fame points, he could not activate that hateful card, let alone obtain the skills of the characters on the card.
Living an ordinary life for the rest of his life? How could that be!
Stomping his foot and gritting his teeth, Zheng Ming's gaze fell on a child holding a skewer of candy. Everything starts from the young, so his path of evil would begin with snatching a child's candy.
I don't want to be an evil person, but there's no choice. You're not afraid of me, which makes it very hard for me!
After defending himself in his mind, Zheng Ming stepped forward to meet the child who was walking towards him with a skewer of candy.
"Brother Zheng Ming, have some candy." Before Zheng Ming could snatch it, the child had already smiled and offered the candy.
Seeing the child's innocent smile, Zheng Ming was stunned!
"Second Young Master, a while ago, Xiao Dong was bitten by a mad dog, but you protected him, allowing him to escape. Xiao Dong has always been grateful and wanted to give you a skewer of candy."
The child's mother, a gentle woman in her late twenties, said with a smile.
Holding the skewer of candy, Zheng Ming felt quite disoriented in the center of Luming Town.
This is not how it's supposed to go!
Sigh, bullying men seems not so easy. I'll just dominate women then. Anyway, for the sake of fame points, I don't care about my reputation!
Stomping his foot hard, Zheng Ming looked at the women in Luming Town. It was market day, so there were quite a few young and middle-aged women around.
Although he had been driven to the point of bullying men and dominating women by the fame points, Zheng Ming could not just pick anyone.
However, the overall quality of the women in Luming Town was not high, and many were middle-aged women with children.
After half an hour, Zheng Ming, gritting his teeth, approached a relatively pretty girl in a simple dress. Although it was his first time doing this, he had seen plenty of dramas where young masters bullied common women in his previous life.
"Little sister, life is short, why suffer here? Why not come back to my mansion and enjoy a life of luxury?"
After saying this, Zheng Ming felt no sense of wrongness. The next scene should be the girl's fear and anger, followed by his overreaction, which would increase his fame points.
"Really? Second Young Master, do you really like me? Then quickly have the town chief propose to my family. I... I will be yours from now on!"
What's going on?
I'm here to bully men and dominate women, you should struggle a bit, and then I'll force you, and we'll do it for show. I'll take you to the mansion, and my fame points will skyrocket, and then I'll send you away.
Why can't you follow the script?
Zheng Ming was stunned, but the crowd around him became even more lively, with some even encouraging the girl: "Tsk, tsk, to be chosen by the second young master of the Zheng family, your family must have a lot of good luck."
"Old Li's daughter, quickly tell your father that the second young master of the Zheng family has chosen you!"
"Why... why does the second young master of the Zheng family like her and not me!"
The girl's blushing face and the crowd's enthusiastic response made Zheng Ming completely disoriented.
Now, it seems that directly taking her away would not increase his fame points. What should he do?
He rubbed his hands together and quickly said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I was just too engrossed in a story, too engrossed!"
As he spoke, Zheng Ming bowed to the crowd and quickly ran away. The pretty girl stood in the crowd, her beautiful eyes instantly filled with tears.
Returning to the river, Zheng Ming was completely unhappy. He had thought that bullying men and dominating women would end like this.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
Feeling depressed, Zheng Ming performed the family's Bear Hug Technique after a few simple stretches.
The Bear Hug Technique has sixteen forms, mainly for strengthening the body. Once mastered, it can generate thousands of pounds of force.
Zheng Ming's Bear Hug Technique was very standard, even the most strict elders of the Zheng family could not find any flaws.
However, no matter how standard his movements were, his Bear Hug Technique was still at the first level.
His brother, Zheng Heng, completed the first level in just one year, and the family's genius was said to be entering the second level in three months.
The Bear Hug Technique is divided into six levels, and each level increases the strength by a factor of two.
The first level of the Bear Hug Technique generates a hundred pounds of force, so Zheng Ming, at the peak of the first level, had a hundred and fifty pounds of strength.
After finishing the set of punches with no signs of breakthrough, Zheng Ming focused his mind again.
Looking at the only fame point in his mind, and the red card that seemed to never flip, Zheng Ming made a decision again.
This time, he must do something really bad to increase his fame points.
He could not come to this world of the strong and live a life of mediocrity!
Since he couldn't bully a common woman, he would have to use his ultimate move: bullying a married woman, oh, wrong, a woman with a husband.
This way, he would not only bully men but also dominate women, and the people in Luming Town who feared him would skyrocket.
I will be a street tiger! Zheng Ming thought, taking large steps towards Luming Town, determined to do it this time.
Too ugly, too ugly! This is really hard to look at...
It seemed as if the married women with children were deliberately making things difficult for Zheng Ming. They were so unattractive that Zheng Ming couldn't bring himself to act.
Damn, why is it so hard to be a bully?
Just as Zheng Ming was disappointed and ready to close his eyes and snatch someone, a bright light suddenly illuminated his eyes.
This was a woman in ordinary blue clothes, but she exuded a sense of elegance and grace. Yes, elegance and grace. These two qualities, which usually belong to different beautiful women, were now present in one woman.
And they did not conflict; these two qualities were perfectly integrated in her!
She was a woman in her twenties, but she had a presence that made people want to resist. She was an extremely beautiful woman.
In his previous life, Zheng Ming had seen many beautiful women on TV, but compared to this woman, they all seemed like extras.
Usually, when faced with such an elegant beauty, Zheng Ming would only admire her. After all, a woman of this level was not someone he could easily provoke. Even his father couldn't provoke her.
However, today, Zheng Ming, who found it hard to be a villain, was really confused by the women in front of him.
Finding this woman extremely appealing, he took large steps towards her and said, "Beautiful lady, I see that you are lonely, so I have decided to save you. From now on, you will be my wife!"
These words were said with a domineering and overwhelming presence.
However, after saying them, Zheng Ming felt a bit regretful, thinking he had provoked someone he shouldn't.
This woman was so beautiful, and she was walking alone into Luming Town, which was not logical. Moreover, his father had warned him not to provoke women who walked alone.
Most importantly, the fame points displayed in his mind for this woman were ten thousand!
And it was not the red ten thousand like his father and the others, but a yellow ten thousand!
Although he didn't know what the yellow ten thousand meant, Zheng Ming knew he had really lost his mind in his attempt to bully men and dominate women.
Just as Zheng Ming was thinking of how to laugh it off and say it was a misunderstanding, the woman, who had a plain face, first showed a cold light in her eyes, but then a smile appeared.
A smile that could make a nation fall.
This smile made everyone within a hundred meters, whether men or women, stand still. They had never seen such a beautiful smile.
"Did you say you want me to be your wife?" The woman pointed at herself and asked Zheng Ming softly.
Although Zheng Ming was much more mentally mature than the average person, he still felt his heart waver. Instinctively, he responded with an "oh" and was about to explain.
Then, he would end today's bullying and dominating.
However, the woman's next words made Zheng Ming's heart tremble.
"Alright, from today on, I will temporarily be your wife."
