I can copy the abilities of machines

Chapter 7 The Target of Million Taels

Earth.

inside the room.

Li Zhen opened his eyes from the bed.

The first thing he did was to look at his attribute panel.

【Li Zhen】

【First Level Life Protector】

[Source point: 1]

After completing this novice task, the source points indeed increased a little bit.

"My goal is to replicate the capabilities of a fighter jet, which requires three source points. There's no rush for now." This was his decision from the beginning.

Flying is the dream of every mortal, and having the ability to fly can quickly help one escape from possible dangers on the ground.

Therefore, you should not rush into using the source point.

Otherwise, it would be a waste to use this source point to copy the first-level machine.

If possible, he would like to save a source point for future use to save his life.

……

Next, during normal times, Li Zhen went to the mountains and forests to practice sniping as usual.

But this time it's not a dead target.

The dead target was no longer a problem for him.

He specifically looked up materials on learning sniping and found out that professional snipers all have to shoot at live targets.

"That's right. No enemy will stand there for you to shoot. The opponents you will meet in the future will definitely be very strong. Now let's practice shooting at live targets first."

However, shooting at a live target made Li Zhen feel troubled.

He is kind-hearted, and his first choice of targets for shooting live targets is of course birds or running animals, but this conflicts with his inner heart.

"Don't be too soft-hearted. How many chickens, ducks, cows and sheep die on Earth every second. It's ridiculous to pity the animals here."

"You can buy chickens and ducks and practice with them. After all, purchased chickens and ducks are different from wild birds."

"In the face of life, all people are equal. How can animals be divided into high and low?"

“They are all life, there is no difference.”

"There is only a difference between animals and humans."

"Killing is to protect life. Killing these small animals now to improve sniping ability is to better protect human lives in the future. A human life is much more valuable than an animal's life."

"What's more, if I kill these animals, maybe I can help them escape from the animal realm and be reborn as humans sooner."

After comforting himself in this way, Li Zhen stopped worrying about it.

He is a kind person, but he is not purely good.

"Bang bang bang~"

Gunshots were soon heard in the forest.

A bird flying over the water was shot in the head and exploded into pieces, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

it is good!
Li Zhen found that beating living things made him somewhat excited.

It felt like a fish taking a bite.

calm down.

Don't be controlled by instinct.

After he realized the primitive instinct in his heart, he quickly regained his composure.

The gunshots startled many birds in the nearby woods.

Several flying birds were hit by Li Zhen, but some escaped.

The ones at the back were all grazed by bullets and flew past.

Moving targets are indeed more difficult to target than fixed ones.

"Very good." But this aroused Li Zhen's competitive spirit even more.

He spent the next month practicing shooting at live targets here.

Most of the time they shoot birds flying in the sky, and rarely shoot small animals in the mountains and forests. After all, birds are more conspicuous, and rabbits on the ground are not only hidden, but also fewer in number than birds.

Li Zhen made rapid progress and by the end of the month he could hit moving targets with every shot.

But he was not proud.

He became more and more demanding of himself, and the targets he shot became smaller and smaller, such as dragonflies on the lake or bees in flight.

A month passed quickly and Li Zhen received his second novice mission.

in the room.

Li Zhen's consciousness gradually became blurred.
-
[Mission: Earn 100 million taels of silver. Mission duration: one year]

When Li Zhen woke up again, he found that he was possessed by a young man named Huang Facai.

Huang Facai is a poor businessman. He has no relatives except an old servant who follows him. His entire family property is only more than 300 taels. But like Kong Yiji, although he is very poor, he still likes to dress gorgeously.

According to my memory, the annual income of ordinary people here is about five to thirty taels.

A well-off family could have fifty to two hundred taels.

For a wealthy family, two hundred to one thousand taels.

Rich businessmen had an annual income of more than one thousand taels.

"Earning 100 million taels of silver within a year is a very daunting task." Li Zhen sighed in his heart.

This is no small goal.

This was also an era similar to the Tang Dynasty. Li Zhen glanced at the old servant next to him, pondered in his heart, and soon a plan came to his mind.

Fugui is an old servant of Huang Facai's family. Since the Huang family fell into poverty, Fugui has not left but has stayed with Huang Facai.

For him, once a slave of the Huang family, he would be a slave of the Huang family for life. Even if Huang Facai drove him away, he would not be willing to leave.

He is so old, where can he go? The Huang family is his home. Wherever the master goes, he will go there. Even if he has no food to eat in the future, he will beg for food for the master.

I have to say that Fugui is a qualified servant.

And from that day on, Fugui suddenly discovered that his master seemed to have changed suddenly.

"Fugui, don't show up for the time being. I'm going to the village in front to collect pigeons." Li Zhen said to Fugui.

There is a village in front. What is special is that almost everyone in this village raises pigeons.

This is ancient times, and pigeons are the key to correspondence, so raising pigeons is a profitable job and there is no need to worry about losing money.

"Okay, master." Fugui didn't understand why his master didn't continue setting up the stall to write for people, but suddenly ran to the village to collect pigeons.

Although I don’t understand, I just do what the master says.

Within the village.

As soon as he entered the village, Li Zhen asked the villagers about the price of pigeons. "One hundred coins for a pigeon," a villager replied.

At that time, the price of goods was two cents for a steamed bun and thirty cents for a chicken, which means that the price of this pigeon was about three times that of a chicken.

It is quite expensive.

“How many pigeons do you have at home?”

“Only ten of them can fly.”

"I'm in a hurry. I want all ten of you. Hurry up and I'll give you 110 coins for each one."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The villager was so happy that he ran hurriedly to catch the pigeons.

Before leaving, he sold Li Zhen a pigeon cage for ten cents.

Soon, Li Zhen hurried away from here carrying a cage of pigeons, and the villagers thought he was really in a hurry.

After Li Zhen left, the villagers showed off to others in the village.

"You don't know, today there was a sucker who was in a hurry and spent ten cents more to buy my pigeons. There were ten pigeons in total, and I made an extra hundred cents for nothing. He was in a hurry and had nothing to put the pigeons in, so I sold him a cage before he left, hahahaha." The villager laughed proudly when he said this.

When the other villagers heard this, they were all very envious.

Li Zhen went back carrying the pigeon.

"Master, you have collected so many pigeons. How much is one?" Fugui asked.

"One hundred and ten coins for each one. There are ten of them here, so the total cost is eleven hundred coins, plus this cage, which costs eleven thousand one hundred coins."

hiss~
This made Fugui gasp, "Master, you bought so many pigeons, what are you going to do with them?"

"You're told to sell it next door."

"Go to the next village and sell pigeons. Each pigeon will cost you 150 coins."

"Okay sir."

Fugui just thought that his master was planning to engage in reselling, and he was quite looking forward to it.

Maybe my master is cut out to be a businessman.

The next day, Fugui came back and said to Li Zhen with a sad face, "Master, they said that the current market price of a pigeon is only 100 coins at most. You asked me to sell it for 150 coins, but it is impossible to sell it."

Li Zhen comforted him, "It's okay. I just want you to be unable to sell it. Don't worry, just sell it."

Fugui felt something was wrong, but since this was an order from his master, he didn't dare to say anything.

Anyway, the worst outcome is to lose all his money and end up begging for his master. He is mentally prepared for that, so he is not afraid of anything.

A few days later, Li Zhen came to the Pigeon Village again. He spread the word, "I am in a hurry. I am willing to buy 100 pigeons at a price of 200 coins each. Only on that day. No more after that time."

At first no one believed it.

The maximum price of a pigeon is one hundred wen, so why would it be sold for two hundred wen? Could it be fake?

"It's not fake, it's real. I sold it to him that day." The villager who sold ten pigeons that day ran out and said.

After learning about the situation, everyone else in the village believed it.

So they all wanted to sell their pigeons to Li Zhen.

One family had ten, another had twenty, and soon they gathered together a hundred pigeons.

The villagers jumped for joy, and Li Zhen also happily took the pigeon and left.

After Li Zhen returned, he gave the pigeons to Fugui, who took them to the next village to sell them for two hundred coins each.

Half a month later, Li Zhen came to the Pigeon Village again to buy pigeons, and asked for a sky-high price of three hundred coins per pigeon.

This time, they wanted more, a full thousand.

The villagers exclaimed in surprise, followed by great excitement.

All the things that were not sold to Li Zhen last time were sold this time. Although the price this time was a bit outrageous, the villagers who had already been greedy for money did not think too much about it.

Sell ​​whatever you can, the money is in your pocket anyway.

When Li Zhen left with a cart full of pigeons, the villagers were still immersed in excitement.

After returning home, Li Zhen gave the cartload of pigeons to Fugui as usual and asked him to take them to the next village to sell them.

"Master, I haven't sold a single pigeon in these days. I'm embarrassed for you." Fugui said guiltily.

He didn't think it was Li Zhen's problem and blamed himself for the problem.

"It's okay, you will be able to sell it soon, don't worry." Li Zhen comforted.

Half a month later, Li Zhen went to the village to buy pigeons again.

This time he directly offered a sky-high price of five hundred coins.

This price completely broke the villagers' bottom line. Although they felt it was extremely ridiculous, they did not doubt anything because Li Zhen had given them money several times before and had not deceived them.

Unfortunately, all the pigeons in the village were bought by Li Zhen last time. This time, even if they were glaring with red eyes, there was nothing they could do.

"Don't worry, think of a solution. I will come again in a few days. I hope you will have prepared the pigeons I want by then. Remember, I want two thousand this time." After saying this, Li Zhen walked away with a swagger.

“I know someone in the next village is selling pigeons!”

After Li Zhen left, a villager stood up and said.

Go to the next village.

So all the villagers rushed to the next village, and when they got there they saw Fugui selling pigeons there.

"How much is one of these pigeons?" asked the villager.

"Four hundred coins each," Fugui replied.

"Wow, it's so expensive." The villagers were also shocked by the price.

But thinking that Li Zhen offered a price of five hundred coins for a pigeon, if I buy it here and sell it there, I can make a hundred coins for free.

After everyone discussed it, they felt that it was feasible.

So he bought them all with a big move.

Fugui looked at the crazy villagers and the money that was constantly stuffed into his arms. He was dumbfounded for a moment. He only reacted after the villagers left.

At this time, the pigeons in front of him were already empty, but the purse in his arms was extremely heavy.

One thousand coins equal one tael of silver, and there are a total of four hundred taels of silver in this bag.

Most of the money was in cents, but there were also some with one or two taels of silver.

"I've made it."

He looked at the money in his purse and smiled foolishly for a moment.

When he returned home in the evening, Fugui excitedly put a bag of money in front of Li Zhen, "Master, it's sold, all sold!" Fugui's hands were still shaking with excitement.

On the one hand, he was really excited, and on the other hand, he was happy in his heart, happy that his master was finally going to turn things around.

"Very good, let's go, we won't stay in this place anymore." Li Zhen said to Fugui, and then took him away overnight.

As for the villagers of Pigeon Village, they waited and waited for several months, but Li Zhen never came again.

　Don't make things difficult for my colleagues, just throw the tickets here.
