Dragon's Origin

Wang Sheng left the assassin hall in a cheerful mood, slowly strolling back to his small courtyard.

He hadn't received his assassin牌 yet, so there was no need to go to Yu Baozhai and Baoqing Yutang to buy anything. He would wait until he got it and then see what he needed.

This slow walk was Wang Sheng's third time familiarizing himself with the terrain of Worry-Free City. As a top sniper, when he arrived at a place where he would be living for a while, he always had to familiarize himself with the surrounding combat terrain, ready to utilize it at any time.

As Wang Sheng slowly left the assassin hall, the entire hall erupted once again. Those who weren't directly involved were pondering how to use this news in the assassin hall, while some who were involved outside quickly left to spread the news.

In Worry-Free City, there weren't only people from Worry-Free City. Before dark, Wang Sheng's passage through the assassin hall was delivered to the desks of the heads of various forces.

After reading the reports, no one from any force dared to be negligent. They all used the fastest messenger birds to send the news back to the old nests of their respective forces.

Wang Sheng taking out more than thirty assassin牌 was too astonishing. If people were still slightly suspicious when Wang Sheng entered through the city gate on the Thousand Absolutes Ground side in the morning, then these thirty-plus assassin牌, including a level six azure assassin牌, couldn't be faked.

The various forces dared not say anything else, but at least none of the experts they sent to hunt down Wang Sheng at the time, except for those who reported the news, had returned. Were they alive or dead? How did they die? What was in the Thousand Absolutes Ground? Everyone wanted to know.

With the news sent back, it was believed that the higher-ups of various forces would definitely take major actions. The people in Worry-Free City also knew the news, but being in Worry-Free City, no one would take the initiative to break the rules. With everyone restraining each other, Wang Sheng was able to sleep peacefully.

However, everyone knew that there would definitely be countless eyes staring at Wang Sheng's small courtyard overnight. Even if they couldn't discover Wang Sheng's secrets, they couldn't let Wang Sheng escape their sight.

On the way, Wang Sheng also saw a blacksmith shop. An idea flashed in his mind, and he went in to ask the blacksmith to make a large iron plate, a long iron rod, and several S-shaped hooks. The iron plate had to be flat and polished to a shine, and the hooks had to be sharp on both ends. There were many requirements, but there was no difficulty in the craftsmanship. He left a deposit and asked them to deliver it to the blacksmith shop where he lived.

As soon as Wang Sheng left, someone seemingly inadvertently entered and exited the blacksmith shop, buying things while not forgetting to inquire about what Wang Sheng had bought.

Just a large iron plate, nothing to be alarmed about. But everyone was wondering, what was Wang Sheng going to use this large iron plate for? Was the iron rod some kind of weapon? Were the sharp hooks some kind of assassination weapon? From the time Wang Sheng left the blacksmith shop until Wang Sheng fell asleep, there were still many people who couldn't sleep.

The next morning, for no reason, the area around the small courtyard that Wang Sheng bought was three times more lively than usual. Wang Sheng seemed to be unaware of this, getting up and washing as normal, and then opening the small shop facing the street and starting to prepare for business.

There was a well in the small courtyard. Wang Sheng drew well water and carefully scrubbed the small shop inside and out, making it look brand new before stopping.

Before long, the blacksmith shop delivered the customized large iron plate. So many people came to inquire about what Wang Sheng wanted to make yesterday afternoon, the blacksmith of the blacksmith shop wasn't a fool, how could he delay it?

A large iron plate didn't actually require much skill. Wang Sheng didn't even ask for the absolute flatness of the earth. The iron rod and hooks were also ordinary, so after staying up all night, the blacksmith and his apprentice made the iron plate, iron rod, and hooks and delivered them.

Wang Sheng's requirements at the time weren't very practical, but the blacksmith shop gave solid materials. This large iron plate was 2.5 meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and a full 3 centimeters thick. The iron rod was as thick as Wang Sheng's arm and 3 meters long.

Such a large iron plate, even the blacksmith himself didn't help. It was his little apprentice, who looked slightly older than Wang Sheng, who carried it directly on his back. The several hundred pounds of stuff didn't even need a cart.

When he bought the small courtyard yesterday, Wang Sheng had already seen the size of this small shop facing the street. When he was cleaning and tidying up, he incidentally built a frame with the stones in the yard. Once the things were delivered, they could be installed directly.

Actually, there was nothing to install at all. The large iron plate was placed on the platform facing the street, and it became a large metal cutting board. A few feet above it was a horizontal iron rod with several sharp hooks hanging on it. Looking at it this way, this place looked like a butcher shop!

Those who were pretending to be unintentional were all dumbfounded. They guessed all night yesterday, thinking that Wang Sheng got a large iron plate to block possible attacks from the back wall, but they never expected that Wang Sheng actually got a large cutting board. They thought that the sharp hooks were some kind of unique weapon, but they were actually meat hooks used to hang meat when selling meat!

After seeing this arrangement, many people wanted to beat Wang Sheng up. You are an assassin who just registered as a level five assassin, and you actually open a shop to sell meat? Do you have any shame?

But on second thought, wasn't it common for high-level assassins to open small businesses in Worry-Free City to make a living? There were no less than a thousand or eight hundred such shops in Worry-Free City, it was commonplace! Why were the people in Worry-Free City so good-tempered? Wasn't it because anyone you randomly bumped into in Worry-Free City could be a high-level assassin? In Worry-Free City, a high-level assassin selling meat, was that even a big deal? Was it worth making a fuss about?

However, Wang Sheng's butcher shop was, after all, different. After everyone understood, the first thing that came to their minds was the hind leg of the tusked boar that Wang Sheng was carrying when he entered the city. Then everyone's eyes lit up. The meat of a tusked boar with at least a fifth level cultivation was very nourishing! A butcher shop specializing in selling monster meat from the Thousand Absolutes Ground would definitely be something people would fight over.

A group of people from various forces responsible for monitoring, watched from near and far as Wang Sheng moved the hind leg, which was almost the size of a person, out and placed it on the large iron plate that had been cleaned many times.

Long before the iron plate was delivered, Wang Sheng had already used a large iron pot here to boil hot water. After a few ladles of hot water, the tusked boar leg was steaming. With this warmth, Wang Sheng took out a dagger and began to scrape off the pig hair.

This was the standard practice for selling meat, and even people who had hunted monsters outside had seen it too many times and had even done it themselves. At a glance, it was clear that he was removing hair, and his movements were very skilled. Could it be that Wang Sheng really planned to open a butcher shop?
