My Life Can Be Simulated Infinitely – Chapter 50

Ch 50: I Just Want to Make Money

“Who do you want to kill?”

Gu Yang entered the room and went straight to the point.

The woman could also tell that this person didn’t like wasting words, and said, “The head steward of the Fang family, Lin Ge, Fourth-Rank, skilled in using poison.”

This choice was not too surprising to Gu Yang.

She could offer 150,000 taels, so the person she wanted to kill was naturally not an ordinary character. It was fortunate that she didn’t ask him to kill Lin Zisheng or a Second-Rank member of the Fang family; otherwise, he would have directly shown her the door.

A Fourth-Rank, this deal was doable.

Gu Yang’s face remained unchanged as he said, “I’m afraid I can’t help you with this. If I kill the Fang family’s head steward, I can’t withstand the Fang family’s retaliation.”

The woman took off the hood of her cloak, revealing long, black waterfall-like hair, and said, “Let me introduce myself, I am Xue E, and I am now managing the Fang family on behalf of my deceased husband.”

Gu Yang was very surprised. The woman in front of him was actually the wife of the former head of the Fang family, the one in charge of the Fang family, and the rumored lover of the Lin family’s Second Young Master.

This woman was not simple. She came from an ordinary wealthy family. She was favored by the Fang family’s talented former head, who insisted on taking her as his wife.

Afterwards, she became a widow at a young age, but she was able to subdue the Fang family’s elders and disciples. As a woman, she became the helmsman of the Fang family.

He originally thought that she was relying on her relationship with Lin’s Second Young Master to subdue the Fang family.

Now it seemed that was not the case.

She actually secretly came to his door, offering 150,000 taels to kill her own family’s head steward.

This was not a small sum of money.

Xue E sighed softly and said, “Young Master must be very curious as to why I want to kill my own family’s head steward. In fact, this Lin Ge was planted in my Fang family by Lin Zisheng. He is gradually eroding my Fang family’s foundation. If I don’t get rid of him, my Fang family’s centuries-old business will be hollowed out.”

“My Fang family has long wanted to kill this villain. If Young Master is willing to eliminate him, my Fang family will naturally cover for Young Master.”

After listening to her words, Gu Yang thought, the noble circle is really chaotic.

“You’re telling me all this, aren’t you afraid that I’ll turn around and inform the Dragon Tiger Gang?”

Xue E said sadly, “Either way, it’s just a matter of fighting Lin Zisheng to the death.”

Gu Yang tapped his fingers lightly on the table, as if he was considering, but in reality, he had already opened the system.

Whether or not this matter could be done depended on how dangerous it was.

Using the Life Simulator to simulate it once would make everything clear.

The cost to him was only 5,000 taels, but the profit was as high as 150,000. This deal was doable.

◈◈◈

Seeing that Gu Yang seemed to be thinking, Xue E didn’t interrupt and waited quietly on the side.

She looked at the young man in front of her, who was too young. He clearly had great strength, but he was not at all flamboyant, restrained, and mature, unlike any of the genius martial artists she had ever seen.

Her deceased husband was the most outstanding genius in the history of the Fang family, a First-Rank at the age of thirty, not inferior to those Heaven’s Pride.

Unfortunately, he ultimately failed to cross that hurdle.

If her husband was still alive, how could the Fang family have fallen into such a state?

She felt a little melancholy in her heart.

At this moment, Gu Yang stopped tapping his fingers on the table and said, “I can agree to your request, but I want to collect half of the deposit first. Whether or not it succeeds in the end, the deposit will not be refunded.”

“Okay.”

Xue E was also a decisive person, and she agreed readily. “Tomorrow morning, the silver notes will be delivered to your residence.”

With the agreement settled, she left.

After leaving the courtyard, an old woman emerged from the shadows. “Madam, did he agree?”

Xue E nodded, but her expression did not relax at all.

“Are you worried that he will break his promise?”

◈◈◈

She shook her head, “Even if he doesn’t make a move, we will. This visit was just a test. It would be best if it succeeds, but if it doesn’t, it won’t affect our plan.”

Ever since she learned that Gu Yang had defeated Tian Fei for the sake of money, she had this idea. It would be best if she could use money to get rid of Lin Ge.

She did not place all her hopes on this young martial artist she had never met.

The old woman was a little worried, “Is it too hasty to launch now? What about the young master’s side…”

“We don’t have time.”

Xue E interrupted her, “After Lin Zisheng took that thing, his strength has increased by leaps and bounds. It is estimated that it won’t be long before he can reach First-Rank. By then, it will be the end of the Fang family. Now is our only chance.”

As she spoke, she sneered, “Lin Zisheng is blinded by lust and dares to covet the closed-door disciple of the Sword Palace Master. The people of the Sword Palace are the most protective of their own. If he doesn’t succeed, at most that disciple will settle the score with him in the future. If he really succeeds, his death is imminent. I’m afraid the entire Lin family will face a catastrophe.”

“In any case, the Lin family will not allow him to act so recklessly. And this is the opportunity, we must not miss it.”

The old woman didn’t say anything more, clearly persuaded.

◈◈◈

After Gu Yang saw Xue E off, he looked at the system’s simulation.

【At twenty-two years old, you are already a Fourth-Rank martial artist. You bring Su Qingzhi and Ling Ling to Ping Prefecture City, and defeat Tian Fei with one saber, making a name for yourself in Ping Prefecture.】

【At night, Xue E of the Fang family visits, wanting to hire you to kill the head steward Lin Ge for a reward of 150,000 taels. You agree.】

【Several days later, you infiltrate Lin Ge’s home and kill him.】

【The next night, Xue E delivers 150,000 taels of silver notes to you as agreed.】

【Half a year later, Xu Ruomei comes to your door to challenge you. She uses a forbidden technique to forcefully break through to Third-Rank, killing you, and then dies from her own severe injuries. She dies at the age of twenty-three.】

From the results, after he killed Lin Ge, neither the Fang family nor Lin Zisheng retaliated against him.

At least, that was the case within half a year.

Then, half a year later, he was killed by Xu Ruomei, who was ranked sixth on the Red Beauty List.

Wasn’t it said that his sword had shattered her Dao Heart? Why could she still forcefully break through to Third-Rank? This made no sense at all.

Gu Yang now understood clearly that whenever he obtained some benefits, he would encounter great trouble.

Taking Su Qingzhi’s 30,000 taels, he had offended the Liu family and the Fifth Prince, and had been chased countless times.

Obtaining the Shadow Thief’s treasure map had caused him to get involved with Cao Yiyi, who wouldn’t leave him alone.

Defeating Tian Fei and earning 65,000 taels, plus a treasure map, had inexplicably led him to form an irreconcilable feud with Xu Ruomei, a disciple of the Sword Palace.

This was clearly targeting him.

If he killed Lin Ge, without thinking, he would definitely offend Lin Zisheng.

Don’t treat everyone as fools. If Lin Ge was suddenly assassinated, it would be strange if they didn’t suspect him.

This Lin family’s Second Young Master was a Second-Rank expert.

Even so, Gu Yang decided to take this job. 150,000 taels, it was too tempting.

He had already seen through it. Even if he didn’t do anything and didn’t offend anyone, he would still inexplicably get into trouble and die for no reason.

As long as he could make money and not immediately bring about his own death, he would dare to do it.

As for the trouble that this would bring, not to mention half a year, as long as he had enough money, it wouldn’t be difficult to break through to First-Rank in a few months.

The key was to make money.
