"Calm down, analyze slowly, and infer based on the available information..."

Zhou Yi thought to himself as he walked.

"First, the Templar Knight's Knight Bloodline. The description says its effects are similar to the Assassin Bloodline... I'll try it first."

Thinking this, Zhou Yi activated the so-called "Knight Bloodline."

Upon acquiring this "Knight Bloodline," Zhou Yi felt something new appear in his mind, and at the same time, certain parts of his body were slightly enhanced.

When Zhou Yi moved those body parts according to the new "memories" in his mind, he immediately felt the strengthening effect of this "Knight Bloodline."

"Vision, hearing, strength, speed."

Zhou Yi experienced the buffs from the "Knight Bloodline" without showing any outward signs of abnormality.

He managed to control the symptoms brought about by activating this bloodline, such as accelerated breathing and blood flow.

With Zhou Yi's control over his body, achieving this was quite simple.

"Simply put, it's stimulating the human body through hormone secretion, pushing it to its limits, or even beyond," Zhou Yi concluded.

A special gene, an innate ability... The current enhancement is negligible to me, but this is just the introductory level. How much of a change will there be at higher levels?

"Next are Stealth and Backstab, hmm..."

Zhou Yi browsed through the [Stealth Skill] and [Backstab Skill] in his mind. "Are they just two skills?"

Zhou Yi was a bit confused.

This wasn't right!

How do skills level up?

More advanced skills?

Zhou Yi frowned and thought for a moment, ultimately deciding to put it aside for now.

No matter how much he guessed, it would be better to wait until he leveled up and see.

For now, he needed to consider something more important.

How to make money.

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

Making money was simple for Zhou Yi, but he wasn't sure how to earn it as a Templar Knight.

"Templar Knight..." Zhou Yi looked at the job description panel, analyzing it word by word. After that, he vaguely formed a guess and some general plans.

"Let's try them all!" Zhou Yi first noted down the street sign nearby, then waved to hail a taxi.

First, he needed to buy some essential daily necessities.

"Where to, sir?" the taxi driver asked.

"The nearest commercial street," Zhou Yi said as he got into the back seat and opened the satchel that the system always provided, checking its contents.

"Ten thousand US dollars, identification... What is this?" Zhou Yi took out a book, looking confused.

"The Book of Revelation." Zhou Yi looked at the title, paused, opened the book, and began to read.

He had a premonition that the answers he had been seeking might be in this book.

[The Knights Templar and the Assassin Brotherhood originate from the same ancestor, the same organization, gradually splitting over time.]

[The two organizations have completely different, even opposing, missions and characteristics.]

[Assassins are unrestrained, yearning for freedom. They believe in destiny and the guidance it provides, upholding the philosophy of "kill one to save a thousand."]

[Templars adhere to rules, maintain order, believe in themselves, and think that humanity's destiny should be determined by themselves, not by a so-called Loom of Fate. Upholding the philosophy of protecting human order and civilization, they have thus had some friction and conflict with the Assassins.]

[Finally, after the first Templar elder appeared on the Assassin Brotherhood's "Loom of Fate," the two organizations began a thousand-year-long, escalating, life-and-death confrontation.]

Zhou Yi could read very quickly.

By the time the driver took him to the commercial street, Zhou Yi had already finished reading the entire book and finally understood what his Templar Knight profession entailed.

"But before that," Zhou Yi walked into a phone store, "I still need to get a phone..."

He couldn't help it; Zhou Yi didn't want to do this either. Although he had two phones in his storage space, those phones couldn't be used in this world!

This wasn't something that could be solved by simply changing a SIM card!

After all the procedures were completed, Zhou Yi bought a computer. Then, carrying his purchases, he hailed another taxi, returned to the intersection he had left, and headed towards the alley where he first arrived in this world.

Although the current time was still nearly a year before the official plot began, Zhou Yi still needed to do some things in advance.

For example, finding Wesley's father, the top assassin Carlos, codenamed "Cross."

Zhou Yi didn't know Carlos's whereabouts at the moment, but he knew where Wesley was. He also knew that Carlos had been keeping an eye on his son, but because he didn't want to involve Wesley in the world of assassins, he dared not meet Wesley.

Of course, in the end, things didn't go as planned.

Wesley eventually embarked on the path of an assassin. Even more terrifyingly, he was taken back to the Assassin Alliance by Fox, who was sent by the Assassin Alliance that betrayed Carlos, and underwent training, thus becoming a new generation of assassin.

Then, Wesley was misled by people from the Assassin Alliance into believing that Carlos was the murderer of his father, leading him to kill Carlos.

Wesley wouldn't understand the full truth until later, when he went on a rampage and wiped out the Assassin Alliance.

Assassins going berserk, Knights using stealth, Mages swinging hammers, Warriors casting forbidden spells… it's all part of the old traditions, perfectly normal, nothing to be surprised about.

Of course, this is what happened in the original plot. Now… Wesley is still that miserable office worker, tormented by life.

After Zhou Yi wandered around for a bit, he specifically found a place to stop for a while, casting glances at Wesley's residence from time to time. Then he left and booked a room at the nearest hotel.

"I just need to do this a few more times…" Zhou Yi thought, opening his laptop and plugging in the internet cable. He then entered the address "175 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan" into the map.

Soon, he got the result.

"New York Continental Hotel." Zhou Yi looked at the result displayed on the computer, lost in thought. "As expected, the organizations from John Wick exist. If that's the case, I can… hmm?"

Just as Zhou Yi was contemplating his next steps and making plans, his door was knocked.

"…" Zhou Yi stood up and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a dark gun barrel was pointed at Zhou Yi's head.

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

Diary of a Flop: ↓

Q: What are your thoughts on flops?

Great God: Actually, everyone grows from being a flop. There's no need for anyone to be biased against flops. What they lack is experience and time, but with persistent effort, they can make up for it!

Q: You speak so well! You must have been a flop yourself at the beginning, which is why you have so much experience!

Great God: No, I was a Great God from the start.

Q: Ah? Then… then how do you know all this?

Great God: Because there's always been a flop named Kan Meng sharing his flopping experiences with me. Over time, I learned about it.

Q: Then this flop, Kan Meng, must have become a Great God by now!

Great God: No, he's still a flop. Apparently, he's about to flop again recently because of too few recommendation vot
