Stuck in a Chinese novel

Chapter 16: First kill



[You have killed a human being]

[No Qi detected]

[No stat gain possible]

Wei Jun was surprised about raising his stats through this method but he held on asking the system about it for now. He needed to deal with the two men who were exchanging glances with each other right now.

Wei Jun prepared himself and before the two men could execute their own plan, Wei Jun jumped at them. The men instinctively raised their guard to protect themselves but Wei Jun, at the perfect moment, fell on the ground. He rolled and cut off the tendon of the man whom he had poisoned before.

The man screamed in pain and the other one, using his superior agility, attacked him once again but Wei Jun\'s agility was also almost the same while the dagger was equipped so not only did he succeed in dodging, but he also created more distance between him and the men.

The man whose tendon he had just cut grasped his feet while screaming in pain. The effect of bleed and poison had taken effect and he was slowly bleeding to death. Wei Jun decided to ignore him now as he would inevitably die even if he did nothing.

Wei Jun turned his focus on the receptionist who was running toward him. The small area of the room provided less space to dodge but a man with Wei Jun\'s experience easily used the terrain to his advantage. He jumped behind the bed to interrupt the receptionist\'s momentum.

Just as the man was about to attack him again, Wei Jun threw his dagger at him. The man succeeded in barely dodging the dagger but before he could turn around, he felt a strong hit in his stomach. Usually, for a buff man like him, it wouldn\'t have hurt that much but there was proper technique behind that blow hence why even he was in pain.

Wei Jun didn\'t let up and hurriedly backed off. He circled around the man and picked up his dagger that was embedded in a wall.

The receptionist composed himself but he was out of breath.

"Your stats are good but your stamina is sh*t." Wei Jun commented as he once again jumped at the man and started grazing him with his dagger while dodging the futile attacks of the man. After thirty seconds of constant slashes, the receptionist was bleeding all over and finally fell on the floor. Wei Jun carefully came behind him and embedded his dagger through the man\'s heart.

A similar set of notifications appeared but he gained nothing from them again. He let go of the man and turned his attention to the last man who was crawling out of the room desperately. Wei Jun didn\'t say anything and got behind him.

Before the man could say something, he grabbed him from his mouth and drove the dagger through his neck slowly. The man trembled like a dying fish and soon died on the spot.

Wei Jun ignored a similar set of notifications and headed for the door. He opened the door to see the hallway empty. There were no witnesses to this incident. Probably the men had something to do with it.

He straightened his jacket and simply strolled to the reception table and searched it. After a little search, he found the thousand yuan bills he had given the receptionist. He took the bills because he didn\'t want anyone identifying them. Finally, when all the evidence was erased, he strolled out of the building.

[There is a camera, host]

\'I know. I saw it the moment I came here. Don\'t worry about it.\' Wei Jun replied as he got into his car and drove away. He had made sure that not even a single drop of blood would fall on him. Although he wasn\'t afraid, there was no harm in being careful to avoid headaches.

He drove away to the city and after another hour of drive, he arrived at an antique shop. He didn\'t visit this shop even though it was in the city before because it wasn\'t open at that time yet.

Wei Jun entered the shop and saw an old man reading something behind the counter. He simply said, "Welcome. Let me know what you like."

The tone of the old man was frustrated like he hated his job and he didn\'t even raise his attention from the book. Wei Jun ignored the old man and began looking for what he was there for.

Shortly afterward, he found a stylish ceramic box with various engravings. The box was locked and no key was in sight so he took it to the old man and said, "I want to buy this."

The old man finally raised his head to see a young man buying a piece he had been trying to get rid of for a long time. However, he couldn\'t just sell it to the young man because, from the looks of the young man, he seemed influential.

If he didn\'t like the box, he might accuse the old man of scamming him. The old man said, "The box is useless. There is no history to it and it is locked. If you still want to buy it, I will sell it to you at the price I obtained it ten years ago."

The old man made sure to get his meaning across because he didn\'t want headaches later on.

Wei Jun simply nodded and asked, "How much is it?"

The old man hesitated but told him the actual price, "Ten thousand yuan." Wei Jun simply procured ten notes and handed them to the old man before walking out of the shop.

Once he was outside, he examined the box and said, "So what the hell are you hiding?"
