The seventh year of the Republic of China, 1918.
Chongwen Town, Jiang Family Mansion.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Jiang family was extremely tense.
"Young Master, wake up! Don't scare me!"
"Young Master, please don't let anything happen to you! If something happened to you, how could I go down to see Old Master?”
Jiang Yi slowly opened his eyes amid the calls. He looked around in a somewhat confused manner. He felt that the surrounding environment was very unfamiliar, and the people around him were even more unfamiliar.
"What is this place?"
"Uncle, are you filming a Chinese drama?”
"Shouldn't I be reading in the library? Why am I on your set?”
At this moment, Jiang Yi still thought that he had arrived at the filming set. Just as Jiang Yi was lost, a memory that did not belong to him suddenly appeared in his mind.
"I'm Jiang Yi, my name is Qi Wen. This is my home, and it's the seventh year of the Republic of China. Today, I fainted from the fear of a bandit's eye.”
When Jiang Yi finished digesting the memories in his mind, he began to understand the world he was in.
It turned out that Jiang Yi had not arrived at a film set. Instead, he had transmigrated to this parallel world that was similar to the Republic of China. His current identity was the head of the Jiang family in Chongwen Town, Jiang Yi, Jiang Qiwen.
The uncle who had been calling out to Jiang Yi was not an actor. He was his old butler, Yi Tian. Jiang Yi had always called him Uncle Tian. He was an old man of the Jiang family.
As Jiang Yi browsed through his memories, he already understood just what had happened today.
Speaking of this world's Jiang Yi, he was much more successful than the Jiang Yi before he transmigrated. This Jiang Yi was born into a scholarly family and was a famous genius. He was extremely talented and was known as the Imperial Examination prodigy.
At the age of ten, he was a scholar, and at the age of twelve, he was a juren. Unfortunately, the imperial examination was abolished that year, and Jiang Yi's path to the imperial examination could only stop at juren. However, he did not care too much.
Two years ago, Jiang Yi's parents died of old age, and Jiang Yi also officially took over the Jiang family's business.
The people of Chongwen Town had thought that the Jiang family would decline in the hands of Jiang Yi. After all, in their opinion, what kind of business would a bookworm do? However, no one had expected Jiang Yi to do so well. The Jiang family had developed fully, but this also brought disaster to the Jiang family.
The Jiang family was not originally a local big family in Chongwen Town. They had moved here from outside. As Jiang Yi's business grew bigger and bigger, more and more people coveted the Jiang family's property. For example, the protagonist of today's incident, the bandit One-eye.
This One Eye was originally a local ruffian from Chongwen Town. He was once a servant of the Jiang family, but when Jiang Yi's father discovered that he had stolen, he immediately chased him out of the Jiang family. Jiang Yi's father did not report it to the authorities because of their old relationship, but he did not expect that he would gather several local ruffians from Chongwen Town to go up the mountain and fall into the weeds.
The twenty or so guards of the Jiang Family were unable to fight against nearly a hundred bandits. After all, both sides were a motley crew. If they fought, it would be a fight between noobs. Naturally, the side with more people would have the advantage.
Therefore, in order to reduce casualties, Jiang Yi's predecessor did not plan to fight to the death. Instead, he planned to use another method.
Jiang Yi immediately went forward, wanting to use his status as a High Scholar to reason with One-eye. However, who was One-eye? He was a bandit, even worse than a bandit. He directly grabbed Jiang Yi and said that he wanted to dig out his eyes. Fortunately, the Jiang family spent 5,000 yuan to save Jiang Yi's eyes.
One-eye had been blind since he was young, so he was nicknamed One-eye. He hated people with both eyes, especially those with strange eyes, such as Jiang Yi's double pupils.
However, although One-eye didn't dig out Jiang Yi's eyes, he still cruelly slashed Jiang Yi's arm, saying that it was to teach Jiang Yi a lesson.
In this life, Jiang Yi was originally a weak scholar. When had he ever seen such a scene? Looking at his arm that was bleeding profusely, coupled with the threat that One Eye had given Jiang Yi previously, he was directly on the verge of collapsing.
One-eye, on the other hand, was insatiable. After obtaining 5,000 yuan, he directly said ruthless words, giving Jiang Yi three days to prepare 300,000 yuan in cash. Otherwise, he would take the lives of all the members of the Jiang family. After that, he left.
After seeing all of this, Jiang Yi understood why his predecessor would directly be scared to death and give him an opportunity to take advantage of it. Because this eye was simply looking for trouble. His goal was to kill Jiang Yi or force Jiang Yi to sell his family property.
What was 300,000 yuan? At this time, a three-room courtyard house in Beiping was only 4,000 yuan. It was very difficult for the Jiang family to pay this amount unless they sold all their property.
After sorting out his thoughts, Jiang Yi's first thought was to run away with the money. However, he quickly realized that One Eye might have arranged for someone to follow him and he might not be able to run out of Chongwen Town. Moreover, it was chaotic outside. Even if he ran out, he might not be able to live outside. He might be killed by the soldiers the next day.
Just as Jiang Yi fell into a dilemma, a mechanical voice sounded in Jiang Yi's mind.
"Fated person detected. The extraordinary system is activating.”
"The extraordinary lottery system has been successfully bound. The host is now rewarded with a novice lottery ticket.”
This sudden mechanical sound startled Jiang Yi, but it was immediately followed by a burst of ecstasy.
The system was the legendary cheat.
For the current Jiang Yi, it was a bright light on the dark path of his life.
Extraordinary Lottery System
[Host: Jiang Yi]
[Skill: Confucianism] Advanced, Chinese. Advanced, English. intermediate
[Note: Skills are divided into beginner, beginner, intermediate, advanced, and great success.]
[Item: Novice lottery ticket, System Manual]
A blue screen appeared in front of Jiang Yi.
The content was very simple. There was no complicated data. There were only two sections: skills and items.
"System, what functions do you have?" Jiang Yi asked hurriedly.”
"Ding, there is a manual in the System Space. Please read it yourself.”
Jiang Yi was speechless, but he still immediately opened the system space and found the system manual.
After quickly browsing through the manual, Jiang Yi understood what the function of this extraordinary lottery system was. It turned out that the system could use the lottery ticket to draw items from the myriad worlds. At the same time, using ten lottery tickets to complete ten consecutive draws could also give one more lottery ticket. As for obtaining the lottery ticket, it had to be done by completing the mission issued by the system.
After reading the system's introduction, Jiang Yi immediately placed his attention on this lottery ticket. This was the greatest reliance he had to resolve the predicament at hand.
" I'll use the newbie lottery ticket." Jiang Yi muttered in his heart.
"We are currently drawing items for the host.”
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill Golden Hand (constant).”
At the same time, a strange energy appeared on Jiang Yi's hands and continuously circulated on them, transforming Jiang Yi's hands.
"System, what does this constant mean?”Jiang Yi hurriedly asked.
"Ding, it means that the level of this skill is fixed and cannot be upgraded.”the system replied.
"What's the use of this Golden Hand?”Jiang Yi asked his second question.
"The Golden Touch can turn anything it touches into gold according to the host's wishes. However, it is limited to non-living objects and is ineffective against living things. It is a skill that countless people dream of.”
The system replied in its old-fashioned mechanical voice.
Jiang Yi nodded, understanding what the Golden Touch was. The system had already explained it very clearly. If he still did not understand, he would be a fool.
Now that he had the Golden Hand skill, he could undoubtedly solve the current problem. With this skill, Jiang Yi could produce gold worth 300,000 dollars in one night, or even more.
However, Jiang Yi didn't want to do anything. Even if he gave him an eye, he would still want to do it again. He was greedy. He would do it again until he sucked you dry. Moreover, an eye was only one of the wolves who coveted the Jiang family's property. If you yielded to him, the other hungry wolves would pounce on you and bite you when they saw your weakness.
Therefore, Jiang Yi was more inclined to the second method, which was to get rid of one eye. This way, not only would he be able to get rid of it once and for all, but he could also deter others who had designs on the Jiang family. However, how would he do it?
Just as Jiang Yi was thinking about how to kill One Eye, the system's mechanical voice sounded in Jiang Yi's mind again.
"Ding! Sensing the host's strong will, I will now issue a mission.”
Jiang Yi hurriedly opened the system page and discovered that there was an additional mission panel.
Extraordinary Lottery System
[Host: Jiang Yi]
[Skill: Confucianism] Advanced, Chinese. Advanced, English. intermediate
[Note: Skills are divided into beginner, beginner, intermediate, advanced, and great success.]
[Item: System Manual]
[Mission: Eliminate an eye within three days]
[Reward: 3 lottery tickets]
The reward was very tempting, but how to operate it brought a huge problem to Jiang Yi.
How could he kill One Eye in three days? It was already too late to recruit more guards and buy weapons from Yang Hang. Moreover, it was difficult for such a big move not to be discovered. Perhaps Jiang Yi would be finished before the weapons arrived. The person who sent the weapons might just be able to burn his head.
It was even more impossible for him to go up alone to exterminate the bandits. He was only a weak scholar at the moment, not Yan Shuangying. He could kill an eye group on Eagle Beak Mountain alone.
"Young Master, are you alright now?"
A voice pulled Jiang Yi's thoughts back.
At this time, Jiang Yi discovered that the people around him were all looking at him with concern, each and every one of them wearing a worried expression.
The person who spoke was his old butler, Uncle Tian. This old butler, Yi Tian, treated him like his own son.
"Uncle Tian, do you have any way to kill someone in three days without being noticed?”
Jiang Yi asked Uncle Tian for some reason. This habit of Jiang Yi's predecessor was to ask Yi Tian for his opinion every time he encountered a problem that he could not solve.
After asking this question, Jiang Yi was speechless. Why would he ask Yi Tian this question? In his memory, Yi Tian was not a hidden peerless expert. How would he know how to kill people without anyone knowing?
It was just that what Jiang Yi did not expect was that Uncle Tian really gave Jiang Yi an answer.
