Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills

After obtaining the white jade token, Zhou Chen felt much less pressure. He felt a little refreshed.

He spent the next few days wandering in Sword Furnace City. From time to time, he would go to the surroundings of the Furnace Mountain Sword Sect to gather some information. Occasionally, he would meet with the only person he knew in the city, Young Master Lin, to ask about more things that interested him.

Zhou Chen’s current focus was to find and approach a core disciple of the Furnace Mountain Sword Sect to prepare for the possibility of a fight in the future.

However, the progress of this task was quite difficult. Zhou Chen was not a social butterfly. He did not know many people in this unfamiliar place, and it was very difficult for him to find a core disciple of a large sect.

“This strategy of killing the disciples to obtain the cultivation technique is too risky. I should focus on the White Jade Capital…”

Over the past few days, although Zhou Chen had not made much progress in his matters, he had also inquired about a lot of information regarding the White Jade Capital. This information made him increasingly lean towards placing his hopes of obtaining the cultivation technique in the White Jade Capital.

According to his investigation, some powerful people’s techniques in this world were obtained from the White Jade Capital. The use of the White Jade Capital in this world was quite similar to the Holy Mountain in the previous world, making him suspect that the system was playing some deep games.

At this moment, Zhou Chen left the Fortune Inn and walked on the Bronze Sword Street of Sword Furnace City, preparing to see if there was anything new in the mission noticeboard.

The reason why he paid attention to the missions was not because he wanted to earn money, but because he had heard that the Furnace Mountain Sword Sect would occasionally recruit people to cooperate with their disciples. For example, killing demons and catching criminals. If he could encounter such an opportunity, he would be able to approach the people of the Furnace Mountain Sword Sect.

Although he had half given up on obtaining cultivation techniques through the Furnace Mountain Sword Sect, he had nothing to do at the moment. He wanted to make some preparations that were not risky.

About ten minutes later, Zhou Chen passed through the stream of people on Bronze Sword Street and arrived in front of the noticeboard which was surrounded by many people.

Because Zhou Chen was more than 1.8 meters tall, he was considered a tall person in this world, so he could see the content written on the wall even from afar.

A few seconds later, he scanned all the new notices on the wall and knew that his luck had not come today. The new notices did not have an announcement about the Furnace Mountain Sword Sect recruiting helpers. Instead, there were only common bounty missions, such as a reward for killing murderers or rapists.

“Brother Li, you’re really here.”

Just as Zhou Chen was about to leave, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

Zhou Chen knew that it was Young Master Lin. This person had become familiar with him these past few days. After knowing that he was younger than him, he began to greet him more casually.

“Brother Lin, you also came to check the notices?” Zhou Chen turned around and smiled at Young Master Lin.

“Sigh, I don’t have a choice,” Young Master Lin sighed. “Ever since I spent those silver taels that day, I can’t even afford to go to the Intoxication Brothel. I am here to see if I can make some money.”

“Then Brother Lin, you came at the right time.” Zhou Chen pointed to the new posts on the board. “There are a few new missions. The rewards are not low.”

“Let me see.”

“Murderer, 30 silver taels; Rapist, 12 silver taels; Evil Sect survivor, 200 taels. Only this Evil Sect survivor mission is passable…” He shook his head slightly as he read, indicating that he did not like the rewards.

“Brother Li, a few friends are coming to my house. They are all people who are going to that place. Come over and get to know each other,” Young Master Lin lost his interest after reading the rewards for a few seconds. He turned around and invited Zhou Chen to his house.

Because he had learned about Zhou Chen obtaining the white jade token the day before, he had already seen Zhou Chen as a companion who was going to the White Jade Capital.

“Alright, thank you.” Zhou Chen accepted his invitation because he valued going to the White Jade Capital. If he knew a few more natives going to the same place, he might be able to obtain more relevant information.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Chen and Young Master Lin arrived at his house. Before they entered the door, they saw two carriages parked outside.

Young Master Lin immediately recognized that these two carriages belonged to his friends.

Soon, Zhou Chen saw two young men sitting comfortably in the living room.

These two young men looked like rich young masters. From their casual behavior in Young Master Lin’s house, Zhou Chen knew that they were very close friends of Young Master Lin.

“Brother Zhang, Brother Liu, this is the friend I mentioned before, Brother Li.”

The moment he entered the living room, Young Master Lin introduced Zhou Chen to the two of them.

“Nice to meet you!”

“Nice to meet you!”

The two good friends of Young Master Lin immediately stood up and said to Zhou Chen with a smile.

“My name is Li Xing. Greetings, Brother Zhang and Brother Liu,” Zhou Chen also greeted them.

“No need to stand on ceremony. You can be more casual here.”

Seeing that the three of them were talking so formally, Young Master Lin immediately began to liven up the atmosphere.

After just half an hour, Zhou Chen became familiar with these two new friends and began to drink with them.

“Brother Li, I heard from Ah Lin that your body-tempering cultivation technique is quite outstanding. Can you tell me who your master is?”

At the banquet, Young Master Zhang, who had a lean figure and clearly practiced martial arts, was rather interested in Zhou Chen and asked about his background.

“Hehe, Brother Zhang, I came from the System Sect. I only learned a little bit of the sect’s teachings. It can’t be considered much.”

Zhou Chen said that his teachings came from the System Sect. In any case, the natives could not understand what he meant.

“S-system… Forgive me for being ignorant, but I’ve really never heard of your sect,” Young Master Zhang was puzzled.

“It’s normal that Brother Zhang hasn’t heard of it. I came from very far away. I might be the first System Sect disciple to come here,” Zhou Chen began to talk nonsense.

While Zhou Chen and Young Master Zhang were chatting, Young Master Lin was also busying himself with Young Master Liu. They were playing drinking games. They had agreed that whoever lost a certain number of times would have to give the other a treasure.

Before long, Zhou Chen had yet to finish introducing the mysterious System Sect to Brother Zhang when their drinking game came to an end. Young Master Liu had lost, and he needed to give Young Master Lin a present.

“Hehe, Little Lin, I have a present for you in my carriage.”

The annoyance from the loss was gone from Young Master Liu’s face and a nefarious smile replaced it. Then, he quickly walked out of the room.
