"Please confirm appearance and clothing..."

"Confirmed."

"Please confirm the location of your first birth..."

"1000 meters outside the East City Gate of Lan Yue City."

"Do not expose player identity..."

"Do not violate the ten taboos of the Blood Rain World."

...

A misty world appeared before Xu Jingming's eyes. He could feel the drizzle on his face, cool and comfortable, and the air temperature was also very suitable. Looking into the distance, he could vaguely see a towering city.

"What a big city, the city walls are endless." Xu Jingming praised silently. He was currently in a patch of weeds, surrounded by hazy light and shadow.

In just three seconds, the light and shadow dissipated.

Xu Jingming looked at himself, wearing a fairly close-fitting cloth robe, his long hair simply tied up. The Blood Rain World was a barbaric world with negligible technology, so 'hairdressing' was quite difficult, and people mostly had long hair.

"Lan Yue City, with a population of over five million, is considered a big city." Xu Jingming walked out of the weeds, admiring this world.

"A nearly 100% virtual world, where the natives are real humans from reality with their memories obscured, possessing genuine intelligence and emotions. This is simply creating a nearly completely real ancient world." Xu Jingming sighed with emotion.

Only reality can make people invest more emotions, which is more helpful to spiritual cultivation.

Xu Jingming observed as he strolled, not in a hurry since there was still a while before the agreed time of 10:09.

"This body is indeed ordinary." Xu Jingming felt his body, "If I don't use any skills and rely purely on brute force, I can probably only lift about a hundred pounds."

"Fortunately! My consciousness in reality is strong enough to perfectly control this body."

Xu Jingming secretly rejoiced.

After all, the consciousness entering the virtual world was that of a cosmic lifeform! With a sufficiently high intensity of consciousness, he could easily sense every cell in his body, achieving 'cellular control'! Even with this ordinary body, he could unleash terrifying power.

This was also the strength of a so-called 'first-rate expert' in the Blood Rain World. First-rate experts dealing with ordinary people were simply slaughtering chickens.

While feeling this new body, Xu Jingming walked towards the agreed location.

"Neigh, neigh~~" A team riding horses began to slow down. Approaching the city gate, the official road became crowded, and everyone had to line up to enter the city.

"We've arrived at Lan Yue City."

"Wow, this is Lan Yue City!"

"It's indeed a big city with no end in sight! Just like what my second uncle said!"

"Once I get to Lan Yue City, I'm going to find a master and learn martial arts!"

In the merchant caravan, young people and children looked at the towering city with excitement and anticipation, their eyes filled with hope for the future.

"Sit down properly, and no one is allowed to act on their own after arriving at Lan Yue City." An old man with white hair scolded the young people.

As Xu Jingming watched and walked, he soon noticed a woman in green standing by the official road a hundred meters outside the East City Gate. The woman also noticed Xu Jingming. Their eyes met, and they nodded slightly to each other.

Both sides had seen each other's images and recognized each other at a glance.

Xu Jingming walked closer and said, "Jing."

"My name is Qing Yu. Mr. Jing has arrived a bit earlier than scheduled," the woman in green, wearing a sword at her waist, said with a smile.

"It's my first time in Lan Yue City, so I wanted to take a look around," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

"Since it's Mr. Jing's first time here, you probably don't have a weapon," Qing Yu said. "I'll lend you a dagger for self-defense first. We'll prepare a weapon suitable for you after you meet my young master later."

Xu Jingming reached out and took the dagger. "Thank you, Miss Qing Yu."

For experts like them, having a dagger in hand greatly increased their threat level.

"Let's enter the city," Qing Yu said. Xu Jingming followed beside her, and the dagger in his hand disappeared with a flick.

Three lines of people were queuing at the East City Gate. The entrance fee was ten dao coins per person, and the entrance fee for goods was calculated separately.

"This Lan Yue City is quite prosperous." Xu Jingming and Qing Yu walked through this ancient city, passing through streets and arched bridges, watching the boats in the river below the bridges, and admiring the scenery of a world completely different from the real world.

After entering the city, they walked for more than ten *li* and arrived in front of a large mansion.

There were gatekeepers at the entrance, but they didn't stop them, allowing Xu Jingming and Qing Yu to enter.

"Quite a few subordinates." Xu Jingming entered the mansion and saw many patrolling guards. As he walked further inside, Xu Jingming couldn't help but marvel at the size of the mansion. It took several minutes to reach a back garden.

Inside a pavilion in the back garden, a handsome young man was feeding the fish in the pond.

"Young Master," Qing Yu said as she walked to the front of the pavilion. "Mr. Jing has arrived."

"Oh?" The handsome young man turned his head to look at Xu Jingming, smiling. "Mr. Jing, please sit."

"The mission period this time is three months. You will listen to my young master's arrangements throughout," Qing Yu said.

"Alright," Xu Jingming nodded and walked into the pavilion to sit down.

He was taking their money to solve their problems.

Moreover, this was a virtual world, so Xu Jingming would naturally not be soft-hearted when it came to killing.

"My name is Chang Yi," the handsome young man said with a smile. "I am the master of the Chang family. I will have to trouble Mr. Jing for the next three months."

"It's my duty," Xu Jingming replied.

"From today onwards, Mr. Jing will work 12 hours a day," the handsome young man said. "Qing Yu will notify you one day in advance of each day's work schedule. Outside of work hours, you can move freely in Lan Yue City, but for no more than two hours, and Qing Yu must accompany you throughout. You should understand that this is to ensure that you do not violate the mission requirements."

Xu Jingming nodded.

Qing Yu's accompaniment was to monitor them and prevent those who accepted the mission from sabotaging them in secret.

"Whoosh." The handsome young man casually threw out a money bag. "Here are five hundred qian, a gift for Mr. Jing."

"Jing Ming thanks Young Master," Xu Jingming said as he took it.

The value of money in this world was very high. After all, 'ten thousand gold' could be offered as a sacrifice to enter the mysterious place. These five hundred *qian*... were roughly equivalent to 'five thousand universe coins'.

"What kind of weapon does Mr. Jing need?" the handsome young man said. "Of course, heavy crossbows and armor are out of the question because they are controlled by the government. At most, I can prepare a close-fitting soft armor vest for you." Ordinary light bows only required a hundred pounds of strength to draw, which was meaningless to experts like Xu Jingming.

"A long spear, three meters long. It would be best if the long spear could be split into two sections that can be assembled at any time. Also, six throwing knives and a soft armor vest," Xu Jingming said. "I'm troubling you, Young Master."

The handsome young man, Chang Yi, nodded. "I'll have them prepared for you tonight."

Long spears and throwing knives were common weapons.

"Qing Yu, take Mr. Jing to his residence," Chang Yi instructed, then watched Qing Yu and Xu Jingming leave.

...

Xu Jingming and Miss Qing Yu walked in the mansion.

"Mr. Jing must be curious as to why my young master can become the master of this large family," Miss Qing Yu said.

Xu Jingming nodded slightly. "When we descend, each of us has a humble identity and is even more targeted by the Blood Rain World. It is impossible to be born into a large family."

"That's right."

Miss Qing Yu nodded with a smile. "I won't hide it from Mr. Jing. My young master paid a great price. First, he pretended to be the illegitimate son of the Chang family. After the Chang family's master passed away, my young master became the only heir to the family, which allowed him to become the master of the Chang family. We have already paid a great price to take control of the Chang family. The next thing to do is to sell off the businesses that the Chang family has been running for hundreds of years one by one... This is also when we reap the rewards, and we absolutely cannot allow any mistakes."

Xu Jingming was surprised to hear this.

Cosmic citizens who entered were targeted by the Blood Rain World. The higher the status, the higher the power, the greater the wealth... the stronger the world's targeting, and the more dangers that would arrive.

Therefore, the middle and upper levels of the Blood Rain World were almost all natives.

"I admire you," Xu Jingming praised. "It's difficult to make money in the Blood Rain World, and if you succeed in this harvest, it will be the wealth of a large family in Lan Yue City for hundreds of years."

"We've put in a lot of effort before and after," Miss Qing Yu said. "In short, please cooperate fully for these three months, Mr. Jing. If you violate the mission, you should know the consequences of the violation."

"Don't worry."

Xu Jingming nodded.

The employment fee was 600,000. If he violated the mission, the video recorded in the virtual world would be confirmed by 'WanJie Group', and the penalty would be at least three times the amount, depending on the severity of the consequences! Xu Jingming didn't have that much money, so naturally, he had no intention of betraying them.

"This small courtyard, the left wing room is Mr. Jing's residence, the one in the middle is my young master's, the right wing room is Mr. Lu's, and the front courtyard is Miss Zi Teng's. Mr. Lu and Miss Zi Teng are also responsible for protecting the young master," Qing Yu said as she led Xu Jingming into the small courtyard.
