Assassin Goes Berserk, Knight Uses Stealth, Mage Swings a Sledgehammer, Warrior Casts a Forbidden Spell

"Stay calm. Analyze slowly. Infer from the information already available..."

Zhou Yi thought as he walked.

"First, the Knight Bloodline of the Templar Knight seems to have effects similar to the Assassin Bloodline... Let's try it first."

With that thought, Zhou Yi used the so-called "Knight Bloodline."

After acquiring this so-called "Knight Bloodline," Zhou Yi felt that something had been added to his mind. At the same time, certain parts of his body received slight enhancements.

When Zhou Yi followed the extra "memories" in his mind and activated those parts of his body, he immediately felt the boost brought by the "Knight Bloodline."

"Vision, hearing, strength, speed."

Zhou Yi experienced the bonuses from the "Knight Bloodline," yet showed no outward abnormalities.

The accelerated breathing and increased blood flow caused by activating the bloodline were all kept under his control.

With Zhou Yi's control over his body, doing that was quite easy.

"Simply put, it uses hormone secretion to stimulate the human body, pushing it to its limits, or even beyond them," Zhou Yi concluded.

"A special gene, an innate ability... This level of enhancement is negligible to me right now, but this is only the beginner level. How much would it change at higher levels?"

"Then there are Stealth and Backstab... Hmm..."

Zhou Yi reviewed the Stealth Skill and Backstab Skill in his mind. "They're just two techniques?"

Zhou Yi was somewhat puzzled.

This wasn't right!

How were techniques supposed to level up?

More advanced techniques?

Zhou Yi frowned and thought for a while before ultimately deciding to put it aside for now.

No amount of guessing could compare to simply checking after leveling up.

What he needed to consider now was something more important.

How to make money.

More precisely, how to earn money that could count as experience points!

Making money was easy for Zhou Yi, but he had no idea how to make money as a Templar Knight.

"Templar Knight..." Zhou Yi studied the class panel's description, analyzing it word by word. Gradually, he formed a vague guess and a rough plan.

"I'll try everything!" Zhou Yi first memorized the nearby street signs, then waved down a taxi.

First, he needed to buy some essential daily necessities.

"Where are you headed, sir?" the taxi driver asked.

"The nearest shopping district." Zhou Yi got into the back seat, opened the shoulder bag the system gave him every time, and checked its contents.

"Ten thousand dollars, identification documents... What's this?" Zhou Yi took out a book, puzzled.

"Book of Revelation." Zhou Yi looked at the title, paused, then opened it and began reading.

He had a feeling that the answer he had been looking for might be inside this book.

The Knights Templar Order and the Assassin Brotherhood came from the same ancestor and the same organization, but gradually split apart over time.

The two organizations had entirely different, even opposing, missions and characteristics.

The Assassins were unrestrained and yearned for freedom. They believed in fate and the guidance it provided, upholding the principle of "kill one to save a thousand."

The Templar Knights followed rules, maintained order, and believed in themselves. They believed humanity's fate should be decided by humans themselves rather than some so-called Loom of Fate. They upheld the ideals of protecting human order and civilization, which led to friction and conflict with the Assassins.

Finally, after the first elder of the Knights Templar Order appeared on the Assassin Brotherhood's Loom of Fate, the two organizations began a thousand-year struggle to the death that only grew more intense.

Zhou Yi could read very quickly.

By the time the driver brought him to the shopping district, Zhou Yi had finished the entire book and finally understood what his Templar Knight class was supposed to do.

"But before that..." Zhou Yi walked into a phone store. "I should get a phone first..."

He couldn't help it. Zhou Yi did not want to do this either. Although he had two phones in his Storage Space, neither of them could be used in this world!

This was not something that could be solved by simply changing the SIM card!

After finishing all the paperwork, Zhou Yi bought a computer as well. Carrying his purchases, he hailed another taxi and returned to the intersection he had left earlier, heading toward the alley where he had first arrived in this world.

Although there was still nearly a year before the official plot began, Zhou Yi still needed to make some preparations in advance.

For example, finding Wesley's father, Carlos, the top Assassin known by the codename Cross.

Zhou Yi did not know where Carlos was, but he knew where Wesley was. He also knew that Carlos had always been watching his son, but did not dare meet Wesley because he did not want to drag him into the world of Assassins.

Of course, things ultimately did not go as Carlos wished.

Wesley eventually embarked on the path of an Assassin. Worse still, Fox, sent by the Assassin Alliance that had betrayed Carlos, brought him back to the Assassin Alliance. After undergoing training, he became a new-generation Assassin.

Then, misled by the Assassin Alliance, Wesley believed Carlos was the enemy who had murdered his father, and killed Carlos as a result.

Only later did Wesley learn the full truth. In the end, he went berserk and wiped out the Assassin Alliance.

An Assassin went berserk, a Knight used Stealth, a Mage swung a sledgehammer, and a Warrior cast a forbidden spell... Old-school tradition. Perfectly normal. Nothing surprising about it.

Of course, that was what happened in the original plot. Now... Wesley was still that miserable office worker, suffering under the torment of everyday life.

After wandering around the area for several circles, Zhou Yi deliberately stopped somewhere for a while, occasionally glancing toward where Wesley lived. Then he left and rented a room at the nearest hotel.

"I just need to do this a few more times..." Zhou Yi thought. He turned on the computer, plugged in the network cable, and entered the address "175 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan" into the map.

He quickly got the result.

"New York Continental Hotel." Zhou Yi looked thoughtfully at the result displayed on the screen. "As expected, the organization from John Wick exists. In that case, I can... Hmm?"

Just as Zhou Yi was considering and planning what to do next, someone knocked on his door.

"..." Zhou Yi stood up and went to answer it.

The moment the door opened, a dark gun barrel was pointed at Zhou Yi's head.

"Don't move!" the man said. "Stay quiet, step back, and raise your hands. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that a bullet won't pierce your skull in the next second!"

Flop Diary: ↓

Question: What do you think of flops?

Great Author: Everyone starts out as a flop. There is no need for everyone to be prejudiced against flops. What they lack is experience and time, but with persistent effort, they can make up for that!

Question: That was wonderfully said! You must have started out as a flop too, which is why you understand them so well!

Great Author: No, I started out as a great author.

Question: Huh? Then... then how do you know all this?

Great Author: Because there has always been a flop named Kanmeng who shared his flop experiences with me. Over time, I came to understand.

Question: Then that flop named Kanmeng must have become a great author by now!

Great Author: No, he's still a flop. Recently, it seems he's about to flop again because he has too few recommendation votes...
