In the evening, Zhou Tong returned to the Red Manor in tattered clothes.
He originally wanted to return to his room to change his clothes before looking for his master. In the end, he did not expect to be bumped into by his master.
"Hmm? What was going on? A fight? Why are you in such a sorry state?"
Zhou Tong's face turned red when he heard his master's question. That's right, Zhou Tong had been tricked by little Fairy Huo.
He had brought Zhou Tong to climb over the Wu family's wall, but in the end, he had been pushed down by Fairy Huo.
The Wu Clan was a large dog family, and when they saw strangers, they would bite them. However, Zhou Tong was not to be trifled with. His physique was twice that of an ordinary person's, so even if he were to suffer a loss in the face of these dogs, he wouldn't suffer too much.
Moreover, Zhou Tong was not a kind person. If a dog bit him, he would remove the dog's mouth, but there were too many dogs, so it was inevitable that he would suffer some minor injuries.
Later on, the master of the Wu family stood out, preventing Zhou Tong from seeing red.
The Second Master was a little stunned when he heard Zhou Tong's explanation. This child really wasn't a worry-free person. It had only been a short while since they last met, yet he had stirred up such a big mess.
"Alright, go back and change your clothes. I'll bring you to see Zhang Bao and Liu Quan later. I'm really worried about leaving those two children in your hands.”
Zhou Tong finally met Zhang Bao and Liu Quan. The Second Master saw through Zhou Tong's thoughts, so he gave Zhou Tong a half-dead hall to torment himself.
In the end, the two of them came to an agreement.
The Second Master would take ten percent of the profits if he provided clues, thirty percent if he provided people, thirty percent if the Hall automatically split the profits, and the rest would go to Zhou Tong and the others.
After all, Zhou Tong was now also raising his underlings, so it naturally couldn't be said that he didn't have any money on hand.
........
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, six years had passed. Second Master was married. It was the girl in the original novel.
With so many people living together, Zhou Tong moved out on the pretext that it was inconvenient. However, as long as he had nothing to do, he would spend most of his time with the Second Master.
His house was just for sleeping.
Two years ago, Second Master had taken in another disciple called Chenpi. He was a master who was skilled in martial arts. He was vicious and merciless. Other than being surprised by his own family, he did not have any good face to others.
As for Zhou Tong, after following the Second Master for a few fights, he was able to fight independently. The business of the hall was also getting better and better, from the original half-dead state to now changing the threshold every three to five days. It could be said to be a world of difference.
Especially after a few big fights, his reputation rose even more. Now, there were already people who called him the second young master. Once the second young master abdicated, he could become the real second young master.
In these few years, Zhou Tong was not the only one who had changed. The Nine Gates had also changed. The outsider Zhang Qishan had become famous in one battle. After providing money to the government many times, his official position had also risen again and again.
Now, Zhang Qishan already had the trend of being the leader of the Nine Gates.
"Zhang Bao, how's the gift I asked you to prepare?”
"Second Young Master, look at what you're saying. Didn't we already prepare a gift for Second Master's birthday?”
Zhang Bao walked out of the living room, a long red box in his hand, which he placed on the table in front of Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong opened the box to reveal a daffodil flower carved out of gold, looking incomparably precious.
Ever since Zhou Tong had been able to fight alone, he would send a Golden Narcissus to the Second Master every year on his birthday. Moreover, as the business of the hall improved, the number of Narcissus he sent grew larger and larger.
"You did well. Go find Liu Quan later and collect this month's monthly payment.”
"Alright, thank you, Little Second Master. I haven't been looking for Little Cui for a while. I wonder if Little Cui misses me.”
"Get lost. You haven't even grown your hair and you're already thinking about girls!”
"Hehe, Second Master, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first.”
Zhou Tong nodded, indicating that Zhang Bao could leave at any time, while Zhou Tong took the gift box and walked towards the second master's house.
When the pedestrians on the road saw Zhou Tong, they all came forward to greet him, and Zhou Tong nodded in response.
The current Zhou Tong was already seventeen years old. He was not very good-looking, but he was definitely not ugly either. At a height of 1.73 meters, he was not considered short in this era.
Also, the owner of the largest hall in Sand City, its reputation naturally could not be compared to the original.
A year ago, he went to pay his respects to his father and returned to clean the ancestral house. He knew that his family had started by forging, but his father had passed away too early and he had barely learned anything.
When he was cleaning the ancestral home, he found an ancient book in a secret compartment under his bed.
This ancient book recorded the forging techniques passed down in the Zhou family. There were quenching, forging, shaping, sharpening, materials, and other processes. Moreover, looking at this complicated process, one could tell that the techniques recorded in this ancient book were definitely not ordinary.
Zhou Tong had also developed the idea of forging a weapon that belonged solely to him, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.
After a year of designing and forging, in addition to the rewards from the system upgrade, Zhou Tong had finally created his exclusive weapon, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.
Life Upgrade System
[Level: 2 (82/200)]
Name: Zhou Tong
[Lifespan: 17/502]
[Physique: 85, including strength, speed, reaction, learning ability, 10 for adults]
[Bloodline: Taotie Bloodline 80%]
[Cultivation Technique: Six Treasury Immortal Thief, Divine Armament Hundred Refined]
[Weapon: Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, piano string]
[Skills: Weapon Proficiency, Forging Proficiency, Throwing Proficiency, Machinery Mastery.]
Among them, the skill levels were divided into small success, large success, perfection, proficiency, master, and grandmaster.
It took one year to master small mastery, five years to master great mastery, eight years to perfect mastery, and twenty years to master. Weapon Mastery required one to master more than three weapons to synthesize.
Knowledge inheritance classes like mechanisms required the corresponding inheritance. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to upgrade them. After all, the cost of doing things behind closed doors was also taken into account.
In summary, all of Zhou Tong's stats had been piled up to this point.
"Second Young Master, you're here. Please, everyone is here except Lord Zeng.”
"En, Chenpi is here too?"
"We're here, Second Master. Eighth Master was just talking about you!”
"Nagging about me? What kind of good words could come out of Master Eight's mouth? He was always mumbling.”
The Red Mansion was very lively today, but this was only relative. Second Master preferred peace and quiet, so he would only invite people from the Nine Gates every birthday.
Zhou Tong had just entered the living room when he heard a familiar voice.
"Yo, 9th master, what did I just say? When the purple qi came from the east, there would definitely be a noble person coming.”
"Lord Myna, don't tease me. The noble person Lord Myna mentioned should be Lord Zeng, right?”
"Disciple Zhou Tong has come to offer his congratulations to Master.”
"What birthday? Those who don't know might think that I'm in my seventies or eighties.”
Zhou Tong handed the gift to Chun Zhi, then sat down beside Eighth Master and Ninth Master, and the three of them began to chat.
