Time Cheat: Time Cheat, #1

Chapter 1 They all want to murder me!

Daxia.

Yongzhou.

Fufeng Prefecture.

Qingyang County.

In the east of the city, at the end of Changliu Street, there is a large mansion with three entrances and three exits.

Boom! !

There was a sudden light in the sky and a loud thunder sounded.

Then, heavy rain came pouring down, blowing away the banana trees in the yard and withering the flowers. The cold wind mixed with raindrops hit the windows, making a crackling sound.

Xiaoyu, the maid who was sitting at the table and dozing off with her arms resting, was awakened from a nightmare.

There seemed to be an inexplicable gaze watching her from nowhere, which made people feel cold.

Her teeth chattered slightly, but she still looked up boldly.

Under the dim oil lamp, she saw a pair of black and white eyes looking at her with some confusion.

Ah! Master!

Xiaoyu was shocked at first, and then overjoyed.

You finally woke up!

She immediately stood up and was about to go out: I will go and inform the housekeeper right away.

stop!

Xiaoyu stopped and looked at her master in confusion.

I'm fine. It's raining so hard outside and it's so late. Don't bother the housekeeper.

The young master lying on the hospital bed spoke in a gentler tone.

You are...Xiaoyu, you should go and rest first.

Really don't need to notify the housekeeper?

Need not.

After getting confirmation again, Xiaoyu walked to a small bed at the door and lay down.

As a personal maid, she lived in the same room with the young master so that she could serve him at any time.

But her big, watery eyes were still fixed on the direction of the young master's bed, so that she could get up and move immediately if there was any noise.

Jiang Shang looked at the obedient little maid and lay down obediently.

Through the dim oil lamp, one can vaguely see the antique furniture in the room and the silk quilt covering the body. When one touches it with one's fingers, it feels delicate, cool and real.

Zhuang Zhou dreams of being a butterfly? Or is it the butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou?

In a dream.

Those bright neon lights, the towering buildings, the dim KTV, the scattered wine bottles, the group of bad friends who don’t follow martial ethics, the old songs that vent their emotions, the ex-girlfriend who suddenly opened the door and appeared, and the wine bottle that hit his head...

As memories roll, it seems as if everything is fading away, and a new life and new memories begin again.

Jiang Shang shook his head and began to be confused about whether he had traveled through time or just had a bizarre dream.

He took a deep breath and told himself.

Since you can't change anything, try to accept it.

No matter which world is real, he is himself, Jiang Shang!

It's just that my current situation seems a bit bad.

As far as he could remember, he was the son of an earl of the current dynasty. However, due to his illegitimate status, he sadly withdrew from the race for the crown prince on the eve of his coming of age and was sent by his father to Qingyang County, far away from the capital.

It has been more than a year now.

But in just one year, the young man, who was once well-read in classics and full of poetry and literature, became a frequent visitor to Chunfenglou, the largest brothel in the city, and spent his days in drunkenness and dreams.

Until a few days ago, he fainted on the bed in Chunfeng Tower due to excessive drug use.

Jiang Shang couldn't help feeling a little toothache. He touched his waist on both sides which seemed to be aching slightly, and his face turned dark.

You're having a blast, but you can't keep doing that. I'll need it in the future!

Also, what kind of medicine did the butler give? How come it killed someone?

The more Jiang Shang thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

The butler was an old man he brought from the Earl's Mansion in the capital. He had been a servant for three generations and had always been loyal to the Earl's Mansion.

After arriving in Qingyang County, it was the housekeeper who took care of him and managed all the affairs in the mansion in order.

However, it stands to reason that as a young master, he was addicted to alcohol and sex, so it would have been fine for the butler not to advise him, but there was no reason for him to add fuel to the fire.

The last time he fainted, it was because the butler gave him a pill to help him feel better.

Jiang Shang had no doubts before out of trust.

But now thinking about it, there are some problems.

Doesn't he know that these drugs will overdraw the body?

The amiable butler seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

Jiang Shang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The future is so difficult, everyone wants to murder me.

This night.

Jiang Shang listened to the sound of rain outside the house, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

...

It seemed that last night's heavy rain washed away the dust of the world. When I woke up in the morning, the air was fresh.

When you open the window, you can see a faint rainbow hanging in the sky and the sun is shining brightly.

When the housekeeper heard the news, he rushed over and saw Jiang Shang practicing boxing in the courtyard.

In the slightly warm sunshine.

The young man was dressed in a white shirt, his face was pale, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, his temperament was extraordinary, and with his handsome facial features, he really looked like a banished immortal.

The butler paused, a look of surprise and doubt in his eyes.

Even the doctor had sentenced him to death, saying that there would be a glimmer of hope unless a spiritual practitioner intervened and gave him a miraculous medicine worth a fortune.

But then an expression of three parts excitement, three parts surprise, and four parts disbelief appeared on his face.

Young Master! Wake up!

Oh, Master, you have just recovered from a serious illness. How can you move around so carelessly? The ground is wet from the rain. What if you fall down?

As the housekeeper stepped forward, he complained to the maid Xiaoyu:

Xiaoyu, how are you taking care of the young master? Why don’t you help the young master go back to his room to rest?

Xiaoyu stood aside and said aggrievedly:

I tried to persuade him, but I couldn't persuade him.

Jiang Shang slowly stopped his movements and said:

Uncle Zhong, I wanted to come out on my own, don't blame Xiaoyu.

As he said this, he took the opportunity to look at the butler.

The butler's name is Li Jinzhong. He is a thin old man with gray hair and a kind look. He dresses quite simply and does not like luxury.

It is naturally reassuring to use such people.

It’s just that Jiang Shang thought about it all night last night, and now everyone looks like a bad person to him.

As a result, Jiang Shang felt that he was more and more scheming.

First, I am not greedy for money, and second, I am not lustful.

So what does he want?

Suspicious, very suspicious!

When the housekeeper heard Jiang Shang's voice of help, he didn't say anything more. He turned around and smiled at Jiang Shang and said:

Master, I knew that you were a lucky person and nothing would happen to you.

Jiang Shang said softly: Thank you for your concern, Uncle Zhong. I'm fine now.

That's good. That's good.

The butler nodded and asked curiously, What was the young master practicing just now? Why have I never seen it before?

It's just a simple set of movements to stretch your body. Nothing special.

Jiang Shang chuckled:

Xiaoyu learned it after watching for a while.

real?

The butler looked at Xiaoyu, seeming a little skeptical.

Xiaoyu straightened her small chest which was beginning to take shape and said proudly:

I remembered it right away.

As she spoke, she assumed her stance and muttered:

A watermelon is round and round.

Cut it in half in the middle.

You have half, and he has half.

...

Alright, alright.

The housekeeper stopped them with a headache.

It's good for you to move around, but since you've just recovered from a serious illness, it's better for you to rest. I'll ask the doctor to come and check on you later.

Thank you, Uncle Zhong. Jiang Shang nodded in thanks.

The housekeeper smiled and said, It is only natural for an old servant to serve the young master. There is no need to be polite, young master.

Fortunately, the young master woke up. Otherwise, if we waited another two months, it would be the young master's birthday. When someone from the capital came, I would have a hard time explaining to him.

In addition, the cause of the young master's accident this time has also been found.

The butler sighed and said:

"Who would have thought that the new girl Yun from Chunfeng Tower has demon blood in her body and is a half-demon.

When the young master stayed overnight in her room, it happened to activate the fox blood in her body, which led to your collapse from exhaustion.

Fortunately, she was discovered in time. Now she has been imprisoned in the county jail and will be executed soon.

In fact, it was all thanks to the young master's early discovery that she didn't harm more people."

Monster...monster?!

Jiang Shang's eyes widened, as if he had discovered something incredible.

What kind of world has he traveled into?

The housekeeper still said calmly: "Yes, Miss Yun is of fox demon bloodline, no one expected this.

This time, Chunfeng Tower is the main culprit.

After the young master's accident, their business has come to a halt.

Yesterday they specially sent someone to present generous gifts to apologize to the young master, but the old servant refused.

The young master is the son of the uncle and has a noble status. If anything happens to him, it would not be an exaggeration to bury the entire Chunfeng Tower with him.

Although the young master has woken up now, we can't let them go so easily."

Jiang Shang's expression was still a little dazed, and the housekeeper's words seemed to have triggered a switch.

Deeper memories began to merge with him.

This world was not at all the ancient fictional background he had initially thought.

Instead, it is a world of high martial arts with warriors who can move mountains and fill the sea, monks who can call the wind and rain, and demons who roar in the wild.

The Great Xia Dynasty he was in had been passed down for thousands of years!

And he was just one of the weaklings who was powerless and could be killed in a minute by the aftermath of the fight between masters.

I am so weak!

With a sigh, Jiang Shang felt as if something exploded in his brain.

A blue light filled his eyes and a dreamy mechanical sound rang in his mind.

[It is detected that the customer has a need to become stronger, and the cheater is officially launched. 】

[Time is money, money can’t buy time, so you have to pay more! ]

【Welcome to use the time cheater (special version for martial arts). 】

Then, his eyes suddenly blurred and a light blue curtain slowly unfolded.

【Client: Jiang Shang】

[Martial Arts: None]

【Wealth Points: 0】

I told you, how can you travel through time without cheats?

This is a sure thing!

Jiang Shang fell down with a smile on his face, feeling satisfied. He could hear Xiaoyu and the housekeeper exclaiming:

Master, Master, you can't faint! Doctor, go get the doctor!

Chapter 2 Time Cheater

Mr. Jiang is no longer in serious condition, but I'm afraid the energy he lost earlier won't be replenished in a short time.

In front of the bed, the doctor who was taking Jiang Shang's pulse stroked his goatee and carefully chose his words.

"I will prescribe you a prescription later. Mr. Jiang, remember to take it on time. If you exercise restraint in the future, your Yang energy will be replenished.

In addition, confidence is also very important. After Mr. Jiang recovers, he may encounter some unpleasant things. Remember not to be discouraged.

The ancients said that the meaning of life does not lie in the length of time. "

Jiang Shang lay on the hospital bed with a blank expression on his face, but he was complaining madly in his heart.

"Damn it! You old man, if you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb!

Don’t I know whether I can do it or not?

That's all my ex's fault!

Understand?

I am innocent! "

But considering that he had more important things to do at the moment, there was no need to waste time proving anything to an old man.

It’s definitely not because of guilty conscience.

Jiang Shang cursed his predecessor's irresponsibility in his heart, and said tiredly, I'm sleepy.

The doctor noticed that Jiang Shang was in a bad mood and looked at him with sympathy.

After all, this kind of thing is like a bolt from the blue for a man, let alone Mr. Jiang, who is known for his romantic reputation in the city.

Fortunately, I am still young and there is a chance to save it, otherwise such a face would be wasted.

Thinking of this, he picked up the medicine box and stood up.

Butler Li, Master Jiang needs to rest now, so let's not disturb him. Come with me and I'll write the prescription for you.

Hey.

The butler responded and said:

Sir, if you need anything, just call Xiaoyu. The old servant asked her to wait outside. You can rest first.

After saying that, he led the doctor out, closed the door, and asked Xiaoyu at the door to take good care of the young master.

The air gradually calmed down.

Jiang Shang held his breath and concentrated, he seemed to be able to hear his heart beating faster due to nervousness.

He called softly.

System? God? Little cutie?

Thinking back to the scene I saw before I fainted, it was most likely his golden finger.

With a golden finger on his side, there is nothing he can't make up for.

Jiang Shang felt that life was full of hope again.

bite!

A curtain of light unfolded in his field of vision that only he could see.

[Time is money, money can’t buy time, so you have to pay more! ]

【Welcome to use the time cheater (special version for martial arts). 】

【Client: Jiang Shang】

[Martial Arts: None]

【Wealth Points: 0】

Why is there only a martial arts version of this time cheat? But I want to be a wizard.

Jiang Shang was still not satisfied for a while.

In his opinion, the so-called warriors and practitioners in this world are the fighters and mages in the game.

Compared to warriors, tall, rich and handsome mages are naturally more to his liking.

After all, using fists is not as cool as using a flying sword.

There is only one version of being strong, but being handsome is a lifelong matter.

"But forget it, a mother will never dislike an ugly child, and she has to pamper her own golden finger.

However, I can understand this client and martial arts, but what is the wealth point? Money?

How do you use a cheating device? "

Hey, is there a system elf out there who can explain this?

...

Isn't it said that customers are God? Am I such a lowly customer?

...

Does it mean I have no human rights if I don’t consume?

...

Can you come out and make a sound?

...

Damn, you are such a cutie.

Jiang Shang silently gave the developer of the cheat a five-star bad review in his heart, and stared at the screen for a long time, and finally found a small gray question mark behind the wealth point.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he imagined himself manipulating a cursor and clicked on the small question mark.

【Wealth Points: Anything valuable that the customer possesses can be converted into wealth points. This includes but is not limited to money, treasures, blood, appearance, lifespan, soul, etc.】

[ps: All items cannot be redeemed once they are exchanged. ]

hiss......

Jiang Shang couldn't help but take a breath.

This stupid system may look ordinary, but it has a huge appetite.

Everything can be exchanged, isn’t that a deal with the devil?

Jiang Shang suddenly felt that somewhere in the invisible void, there seemed to be an indescribable gaze watching him quietly.

Depend on!

Jiang Shang quickly shook his head.

I can’t think about it anymore and scare myself like this.

I won’t dare to use the hang-up anymore.

Jiang Shang comforted himself silently.

As long as you stick to the bottom line and don't sell out your soul, even the devil will follow the rules.

But we still have to inspect the goods first.

Jiang Shang glanced around and his eyes suddenly moved.

That's it.

He saw a folding fan on the table, with a unicorn-shaped white jade pendant under the fan.

Jiang Shang remembered that he had bought this from an antique dealer for one hundred taels of silver. It was said that there were inscriptions on the fan by Wang Youjun, a great calligrapher of the time.

But who is Wang Youjun? He is known as the Saint of Calligraphy and his words are worth a thousand gold coins.

It is indeed a bit unrealistic to spend two hundred taels of silver to buy his original work.

But who could blame him for really liking it before?

Moreover, the inscription on the fan does have the style of a master, but I don’t know why he used the title of the Saint of Calligraphy.

So what this one hundred taels of silver buys is not value, but appreciation.

This is the happiness of rich people!

Jiang Shang walked to the table and picked up the fan.

This one hundred taels is almost equivalent to one hundred thousand yuan in another world, enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary family of three for several years, but in his eyes it could only buy him fun.

Exchange the fan in my hand.

Jiang Shang muttered to himself.

A curtain of light unfolded in front of his vision, and light blue words appeared.

[Identifying...]

[An ordinary folding fan, worthless. Note: An ordinary object can become a treasure worth a thousand gold when packaged by a caring person. Do you want to exchange it? ]

No exchange!

Jiang Shang refused.

Since it has no value, he keeps it for himself.

But can things of no value be exchanged?

A lot of ideas popped up in Jiang Shang's mind at once.

Then he thought about it and decided to go with the most realistic one first.

He directly took out a ten-liang silver ingot from his purse.

exchange!

[Identifying...]

[10 taels of silver can be exchanged for 0.1*wealth points. Note: A few
