Chapter 663 Start over
"System, solidify Uncle Jiu's skill!" As the saying goes, he would not leave empty-handed, so Lin Hao immediately used the solidified skill.
"Wait, damn, I'm at a loss!" After Lin Hao used the solidification skill, he realized that he himself had a Yin-Yang Eyes skill, which he got from the evil ghost Chu Renmei.
Lin Hao regretted it deeply at this time, because once the solidified skills are used, they cannot be canceled.
Sure enough, Lin Hao immediately heard a beep from the system, and then he received bad news.
Ding: "Skills are solidifying!"
"Congratulations on obtaining the universal skill: "Yin Yang Eyes!"
Ding: This skill duplicates the host's original skill, and the skill effect is lower than the host's own skill. There is no gain effect after fusion. Does the host want to fuse it?
"No!" Lin Hao said helplessly.
There is no other way. 100 destiny points have already been wasted, and the fusion requires another 100 destiny points. The key is that there is no gain effect, so the fusion is a pure waste.
At the same time, after Uncle Jiu opened his Yin-Yang eyes, he looked around with his sharp eyes, but did not find anything unusual.
Fortunately, the mental power that was interfering with him had disappeared, but at this moment Uncle Jiu suddenly looked at Lin Hao, because a wave of mental power had just emanated from him.
Then Uncle Jiu immediately looked at Lin Hao vigilantly, and Lin Hao also felt Uncle Jiu's vigilance. Lin Hao had no choice but to go all the way.
"System, continue to solidify Uncle Jiu's skills!" Lin Hao also looked at Uncle Jiu. No matter what, he must get the most out of Uncle Jiu today.
So Lin Hao gritted his teeth and continued to try to use the solidification skills!
At this time, Uncle Jiu always felt that there was something wrong with Lin Hao, so he tentatively swung his sword at Lin Hao.
"Uncle Jiu, what are you doing?"
Lin Hao naturally would not wait to die. Instead, he used attributes beyond those of ordinary people to deal with Uncle Jiu with words while avoiding his attacks.
"Tell me, who are you? If you don't explain clearly today, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Uncle Jiu asked while attacking Lin Hao.
Before he could answer Uncle Jiu, the system's voice came:
"Ding~, no solidifiable skills found!"
"It actually failed!" Lin Hao frowned slightly. Uncle Jiu was clearly still using his ability, so how could it fail?
Lin Hao calmed down quickly. It was not the first time that his solidified skills failed before. Either the opponent did not have the ability to use it, or the ability he used was not extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Lin Hao probably guessed that Uncle Jiu knew that he was a human being, not a monster, so he used swords, guns, fists and feet instead of Taoism to deal with ghosts.
It seems that there is no way to become a disciple today, so I don’t bother to explain to Uncle Jiu and directly use the skill:
"Use time reversal!"
Time Rewind: Set a time node. After using the skill, you can pull the timeline back to that node. The time node can be set or canceled at any time!
Special note: Each time you actively use this skill, it will consume 1 destiny point and an equivalent amount of life time as a replacement. If the life time is insufficient, the host's life will be consumed!
Lin Hao only felt a flash before his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already back home, that is, when he was going home after treating the security team to a meal.
Fortunately, it only took 1 extra destiny point and 18 hours. However, the skill solidification failed this time. Lin Hao also realized that he was too reckless this time and made several mistakes in a row. Fortunately, he had time to go back and correct them.
First, he wanted to become Uncle Jiu's apprentice when Uncle Jiu didn't know him at all. When that failed, he wanted to go on a blind date to solidify Uncle Jiu's skills.
But Uncle Jiu only uses ordinary sword, fist and kick skills to deal with people, instead of the Taoist magic skills he uses to deal with demons and monsters.
Solidifying the Yin-Yang Eyes skill can prove this. Considering that this is Uncle Jiu’s comprehensive world, we must make long-term plans.
Afterwards, Lin Hao had already made up his mind. He definitely couldn't force it this time. Fortunately, there was still some time before the plot of Ren family's grave relocation, so he still had time to prepare.
As for this time anchor point, Lin Hao still retains it. This is equivalent to the ability to go back to the original file, allowing him to have enough opportunities for trial and error.
······
next day
Lin Hao did not go directly to Uncle Jiu, but handled several less complicated cases that had accumulated in the town, and received unanimous praise from everyone.
At the same time, the security team was arranged to patrol the town in a line to maintain public order and reduce various disputes.
By the way, I also made a space ring, otherwise it would be too inconvenient.
This went on for several days in a row, and Lin Hao's series of measures immediately greatly improved the town's public security.
Soon, Lin Hao became famous in the town, and Master Ren also felt proud of him, thinking that his nephew had finally grown up and could stand on his own.
A direct message came, inviting him to dinner.
This surprised Lin Hao a little. From the memories transmitted through the system, Mr. Ren was actually not a very compassionate person.
As the richest man in Renjia Town, Mr. Ren has some influence even in the provincial capital.
If it weren't for the fact that he was his nephew and he could be trusted to use him, I'm afraid the position of security captain would not have been his.
In the final analysis, Mr. Ren gave Lin Hao the impression of being a thoroughgoing businessman who was only interested in profit.
In the eyes of Master Ren, a tool like Lin Hao would naturally be ignored after he had played a sufficient role.
It’s just that in recent times, Lin Hao has gained a good reputation since he took office, and the entire security team, under his training, appears to be in good shape.
The next day at noon, Lin Hao bought some gifts on the street and came to Ren's house.
I saw that the Ren Mansion covered a large area and had a four-courtyard structure. It would be a mansion in an ordinary small county town, let alone the small Renjia Town.
In fact, Ren Fa has been staying in the provincial capital all year round to take care of business. In recent years, the world outside has become more chaotic, and the Ren family's business has become increasingly difficult.
That's why he returned to Renjia Town and formed a security team as an armed force to protect his business.
When Lin Hao arrived, Ren Fa was checking the accounts. Looking at the account book in his hand, his brows were furrowed, and it was obvious that the business was not going well.
"Uncle-in-law!"
That’s right, Lin Hao is Ren Fa’s nephew, but he is a cousin.
Well, damn, I always feel like something is wrong!
Ren Fa himself has no sisters, and Lin Hao is a distant cousin of Ren Fa’s wife.
"Xiao Hao is here. You just came, why do you spend money to buy him a gift?" Although he said with disgust, Ren Fa's expression obviously looked much better.
He is indeed a hypocritical guy who says one thing but does another.
"Hehe, I want to thank my cousin for helping me find such a good job. These are all fresh cakes from the street. I think my cousin will like them!"
As soon as Ren Fa saw the packaging, he knew it was the most expensive pastry in town. He secretly praised Lin Hao for being more thoughtful than before and immediately looked up to him even more.
"Okay, let's eat the main course!" Ren Fa put down the account book in his hand and pulled Lin Hao to sit down together.
Soon after, servants from the Ren Mansion came and set a table of food.
The owners of the Ren Mansion were actually only Ren Fa and his daughter Ren Tingting. The rest were servants and guards, about thirty people in total.
The fact that the Ren family can support so many servants shows how wealthy the Ren family is.
"I heard that after you took office as the security captain, you solved several old cases in succession. The gentry in the town praised you highly!" Ren Fa clinked glasses with Lin Hao and praised him. "These are all the responsibilities of the security captain. After all, he has received everyone's salary, so he has to do something for the safety of Renjia Town!"
Ren Fa was surprised to see that Lin Hao was not complacent. If it were the Lin Hao of the past, he would not be able to withstand praise.
It seems that a decent job can indeed inspire a person's ambition, Ren Fa couldn't help but think.
Then the interface said:
"Yes, the world is difficult nowadays. Although the security team is small in number, they are vital to the safety of the town!"
"And the foundation of our Ren family lies here. The previous security team was lax and slack. If something really happened, we couldn't rely on them at all!"
As Ren Fa talked about the difficulties in the world, he seemed to think of the difficulties in his business and didn't say much.
At this time Lin Hao suggested:
"In fact, the security team's equipment is still too backward. There are about 20 people, more than a dozen guns, and a few old barrels from the Qing Dynasty."
"If we can have enough guns, I think we should increase the number of security personnel to 50 to prevent bandits from causing trouble in Renjia Town!"
As soon as Lin Hao heard Ren Fa's words, he knew that Ren Fa's meal today was intended to further win him over. In that case, Lin Hao naturally took advantage of the situation.
"Well, you are right. Tomorrow I will have someone send a batch of guns and ammunition to the security team. Just consider it as my support for your career as your cousin's husband!"
Ren Fa thought about it and felt that it made sense. Twenty people were indeed too few, and they did not have all the guns and bullets, so it was indeed impossible to train elite soldiers.
He could still afford guns and ammunition for fifty people. After all, there were indeed a lot of bandits in this world.
"Thank you, uncle-in-law!"
Lin Hao has a space with silver dollars in it, but he doesn't have the energy to get guns in the short term. Since someone is doing it for him, he is naturally happy to do so.
At this time, Ren Fa looked at the handsome Lin Hao. His temperament seemed to be much more mature and stable than before, and he looked very masculine and handsome.
And I found that Lin Hao seemed to have come to his senses and seemed to be a good successor!
Thinking of this, Ren Fa smiled and tried:
"We are a family, why should we be so polite? Your cousin will be back from the provincial capital soon, and you two can get closer by then."
After all, he only has one daughter, Ren Tingting. If she really marries Lin Hao, it can be considered as a good thing for her.
According to the memory of the system, Lin Hao last saw Ren Tingting many years ago. He also found out Ren Fa's thoughts and said happily:
"Is cousin Tingting going back to Renjia Town? I haven't seen her for a long time. When will she come back?"
Seeing Lin Hao's expression, Ren Fa was still very happy. It seemed that the matter was settled, so he said:
"Tingting said it would take some time, but she will definitely be back before the grave is moved!"
Ren Fa thought of his own declining Ren family, sighed in his heart, then shook his head and continued:
"Well, the provincial capital is in chaos now. I still have your protection in Renjia Town. From now on, the safety of my Ren family depends on you!"
It was like this during the Republic of China period. Life in the countryside was actually much safer than in the city, as long as there were no bandits.
Of course, it is hard to say about the Republic of China where demons and monsters are rampant. It is probably the same everywhere.
The meal was then enjoyed by both the host and the guests, and Lin Hao said goodbye to Mr. Ren and returned to the security team’s residence in the yamen.
Lin Hao himself is not from Renjia Town. He came to Renjia Town to be the security captain just as part of Ren Fa's operation.
So Lin Hao didn't have any property in the town, so he just let them give him a not-so-big house, so he had a place to live. But on weekdays he lived in the security team's office, which was convenient!
"Captain, you're back?" After returning to the yamen, the security guard on duty at the door greeted Lin Hao hurriedly after seeing him.
"Well, nothing big happened today!"
During this period of time, Lin Hao handled cases, patrolled the streets, and enforced discipline. With the influence of hive consciousness, he was able to win over the entire security team.
As for those who refused to change despite repeated admonitions, Lin Hao directly used illusions to forcibly modify their memories and make them obey direct instructions.
Then, under the threat of salary in one hand and a big stick in the other, the security team is now quite disciplined and its combat effectiveness has increased dramatically. At least they will not run away when they see danger like in the original drama.
"Report to the captain, everything is normal today!" The security guard on duty looked at Lin Hao with respect.
"Well, tell me if there is anything, and practice the martial arts I taught you!" Lin Hao reminded:
"By the way, recruit another fifty people. A batch of guns will be coming back in a few days, so don't fall behind in training!"
"Yes!"
Lin Hao knew that it would take some time to move the graves, so it would definitely be a good idea to strengthen the strength of the people under him.
Uncle Jiu's world is a world full of demons and monsters. If you have some martial arts skills, at least these people will not run away at the critical moment.
Afterwards, Lin Hao took a few people to patrol the town, and chatted with Qiu Sheng to make him familiar with him and let his reputation spread as soon as possible.
The next afternoon, Master Ren sent someone to deliver thirty rifles and ten boxes of ammunition.
Lin Hao was speechless. They had only prepared equipment for thirty people. Together with the dozen or so people before Lin Hao, there were barely fifty people in total.
Lin Hao shook his head and arranged for the recruits to be trained first. As for the guns and ammunition, they still had to prepare them themselves.
Therefore, when pedestrians in Renjia Town passed by the security team's yamen, they could hear the crackling sound like frying beans inside.
Lin Hao didn't expect these people to be trained to be sharpshooters, as long as they could be prepared to hit the target from a distance of one hundred meters.
However, according to Lin Hao's training schedule, this amount of ammunition was not enough for a few days of training, so Lin Hao prepared to go to Yuezhou by himself.
However, Lin Hao felt that it would be a bit of a loss to make the trip alone, so he found Ren Fa.
"What? You're going to Yuezhou to pick up Tingting?" Ren Fa asked in surprise.
"Yes, I heard that a caravan just left Yuezhou a few days ago, but was intercepted by bandits on the road. The road is not safe now, I am a little worried~!"
"It just so happens that the security team has been training for a few days, and the ammunition is almost used up. I plan to go to Yuezhou to purchase a batch of ammunition. When I come back, I can protect Tingting. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"
Ren Fa was also tempted when he heard this. It would indeed be much safer if he was escorted by Lin Hao's security team.
So Ren Fa did not hesitate and immediately said:
"Well, I'll trouble you to protect Tingting and bring her back!"
Thinking that Lin Hao was going to purchase ammunition, he gritted his teeth and said:
"By the way, it will cost a lot of money to buy ammunition. I'll ask the town to give you some extra money!"
Lin Hao himself does have money, but Ren Fa is willing to support him, and Lin Hao is also happy to see it happen, so he said:
"Then I'll trouble you, uncle!"
Afterwards, Lin Hao took the distributed money and a letter to Ren Tingting back to the security team, and then went directly to Yuezhou with twenty of his men.
