Chapter 16 The PTW Shop (1/2)

Chapter 16 – The PTW Shop

11 PM, the first day of January.

The day ended in an anti-dramatic manner. Tong and Hua Shi agreed to form an alliance, with Hua Shi staying in Zhang's resident under the guise of Tong's fiancé as they were still too young to get married.

In turns, Hua Shi had to provide medical aids and use her skill if Tong requested her in the future.

Secondly, she had to help him dealing with his soap business, accounting, stocking and warehousing. She also had to write down all her medical knowledge she got from the skill and Hua Tuo's teaching so Tong could pass it to his men in the future.

However, once the Yellow Turban Uprising started, she had the right to divorce Tong and leave him if she was confident enough to survive this era alone. Or she could remain on board on this ”pirate ship” and challenge the course of the history together.

Lastly, Hua Shi made an odd request. She asked for a few drops of Tong's blood once a week so she could make a sauce for her food. Her face when she made the request was perverted and unsightly, which caused Tong to have black lines on his face.

Hua Tuo and his wife left Zhang family in merry mood. He succeeded getting rid of the troublesome daughter and got more soaps as a wedding gifts in advance. They promised to come back to attend their daughter's wedding when both Tong and Hua Shi's became an adult.

Zhang Jiao profited a bit from this engagement. He would receive treatment from Hua Shi until he was cured from stomach ulcer. And he also got his hands on Hua Tuo's medical journal notes which would expand his medical knowledge further.

In the end, the entire farce concluded into a win-win deal to everybody. So everyone walked away in merrily mood.

In contrast of the joyous mood of everyone, Tong cooped in his room with his solemn face, waiting for the mission timer to be officially over.

The main reason Tong stayed up late today was that Tong looked forward for the result of his performance in this mission. The mysterious prize that the system mentioned made him curious.

There were just a hundred of otherworlders here in this world. What was the chance that several reincarnators could gather in a single small town or a village? One in a thousand? One in a million? Nobody knew.

However, this unusual odd happened in this village. Seven otherworlders gathered here, crashed into each other, and two made it out alive.

Tong believed that this incident should only happen in this place but not anywhere else. Therefore, he had confident that the three kills he had gotten should score him the reward.

…

Tong played around with the HUD map for killing times. He tried to zoom out and check other area outside of his village. But the map only showed the areas within the range of one kilometers. The further beyond the distance was all clouded by fog.

He was disappointed. Tong wanted to scout the entire map of china to see where the other reincarnators were.

[*Ding* *Ding* The time limit for the mission is now over! *Ding* *Ding*]

The system obnoxious voice rang inside of Tong's head without warning, causing him to feel dizzy.

[Ladies and gentlemen, we shall now punish those that didn't meet the quota for today.]

[…]

[And it's done!]

[Congratulations to everyone that is still breathing. Did you have fun? Yes?]

'Fun? I got an arrow in the knee, you son of a …' Tong cursed in his mind.

[I knew all of you had fun. I, too, had so much fun watching you idiots running around like a goldfish in heat dancing around in the boiling water.]

[One of you even got an arrow in the knee! MUAHAHAHA!]

[Oh, excuse me. The arrow in the knee meme gets me every times.]

”…”

Tong rolled his eyes. He had enough of this trolling system. He laid on the bed and was about to go to sleep.

[Okay! Time for the reward distribution!]

[Everyone that is still alive shall get 10,000 years of lifespan.]

[And the extra reward today shall be …]

[A permanent upgradable level one radar map! Given to the arrow in the knee dude!]

[He had the best performance today. He got three kills in the bag while the rest of you suckers got only one or two.]

[Now, be jealous and clap your sorry butt to the winner! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.]

[*Claps* *Claps* Claps*]

”I really win!?”

Tong sprang up on the bed, checking his status menu. The HUD map had changed. It became more detailed than before.

In the previous version, his map showed color dots and rough geography. But it did not contain any readable detail that could pinpoint what was in the map.

However, this version had more information. Each dot on the map now had a name and each building also had detail and description on it.

Although the new map had the same range as the former, Tong was still delighted. He had a dream if he had this kind of map, he could use this as scouter in a war or a battlefield and utilize many tactics or maneuvers faster than using relay information from human scouts. Now his dream had come true. Tong felt more hopeful in the future war.

[Ow! Oi-yoi-yoi! I've almost forgotten a very important info. Don't go to sleep yet.]
