Strange And Troubled Times: Eternal Life Begins From Marrying A Wife

Chapter 1: Awakening Goldfinger

Great Wei Dynasty, Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

"It's been a month already!"

A handsome young man dressed as a menial disciple sighed as he looked at the night sky.

This handsome young man's name was Qin Feng.

He was a menial disciple of the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

However, he had a hidden identity.

He was a transmigrator.

Originally, he was just an ordinary worker in Blue Star.

But due to consecutive overtime work, he collapsed on the job.

When he opened his eyes again, he had become a menial disciple of the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

After a month of exploration, he had gained some understanding of this world.

This world was a chaotic era filled with anomalies.

In this chaotic era, ordinary people were like weeds.

To survive, they could only sell themselves to powerful forces and become menial disciples.

"Thump!"

"Thump! Thump!"

The sound of drums came from afar.

Upon hearing this drumming, Qin Feng's expression changed slightly.

He quickly took out a stack of oil from under the bed.

He opened the wooden door and placed the dish containing the oil at the doorstep.

This drumming was a kind of anomaly called the Drum Maker Anomaly.

Every night at the hour of the pig, the Drum Maker Anomaly would appear and roam around. Every household had to prepare a small dish of oil and place it at the doorstep to ensure safety.

If there was no oil at the doorstep, the Drum Maker Anomaly would break in and kill everyone inside the room.

In addition to the Drum Maker Anomaly, which appeared every night, there were also occasional anomalies that appeared in Eternal Peace County.

A month ago, Qin Feng's predecessor was scared to death by the Drum Maker Anomaly.

Originally, there would never be any anomalies within the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

But recently, something seemed to have gone wrong.

The anomalies suddenly increased.

Even the menial disciples of the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor were affected by the Drum Maker Anomaly.

"Thump, thump."

The drumming grew closer and soon arrived outside Qin Feng's menial dwelling.

Qin Feng held his breath because he knew that the Drum Maker Anomaly had arrived.

"Rustle..."

There seemed to be something hovering at the door.

A few minutes later, the drumming sounded again, growing fainter.

Listening to the receding drumming, Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

"There's not much oil left!"

"I should go to the main dormitory too!"

Qin Feng sighed softly.

Originally, each menial disciple had their own room.

But because of the appearance of the Drum Maker Anomaly, many menial disciples ran to the main dormitory because they didn't have enough oil.

Although the main dormitory was crowded and smelled of sweat, sharing the oil reduced the pressure.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Qin Feng was slightly stunned.

Because he saw a peculiar panel floating in front of him.

[Name: Qin Feng]

[Age: 16]

[Lifespan: 66]

[Entries: None]

[Spells: None]

[Items: None]

[Wives and Concubines: None]

[Entry Points: 1]

[Note 1: System activation successful, you have gained 1 entry point, which can be used to draw an entry.]

[Note 2: For every wife with a favorability rating of 90 or above, you will gain an entry point. If the favorability rating drops and then increases again, you cannot repeatedly gain entry points.]

[Note 3: Maintain a favorability rating of 90/100 or above for two years, and you will automatically gain an entry point.]

Looking at this panel, Qin Feng's face was filled with joy.

His Goldfinger had finally arrived.

Although it was a month late, it had finally arrived.

"Drawing an entry?"

After more than ten minutes of observation.

Qin Feng already had a rough understanding of the system's function.

This is a system for extracting entries.

For every concubine with a favorability rating of over ninety, one can obtain an entry.

"Marry?"

Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

He is currently just a servant.

He only earns one hundred copper coins per month.

These coins are not even enough to buy oil, so how could he possibly marry?

And the favorability rating needs to be over ninety.

This makes it even more difficult.

"Let's extract an entry first."

There's nothing to consider.

He chose to extract an entry.

[Ding, entry extraction successful!]

[Congratulations on obtaining a golden entry: Heaven Rewards the Diligent]

[Heaven Rewards the Diligent: Effort will always be rewarded]

Heaven Rewards the Diligent?

Effort will be rewarded?

Qin Feng carefully pondered the function of this entry.

When he just transmigrated, he was very excited.

He wanted to become a martial artist or a high-ranking official.

But reality gave Qin Feng a slap in the face.

He can't even eat enough, how could he have money to study or practice martial arts?

"The Great Wei Dynasty is already in its final years, and anomalies are rampant. Studying is completely useless!"

Qin Feng quickly made a decision in his heart.

Although Heaven Rewards the Diligent allows Qin Feng to achieve something above studying.

But studying is completely useless against anomalies.

It can't deal with corrupt officials in the court.

And he is just a servant, it's impossible for him to participate in the Great Wei's imperial examination.

"I can only practice martial arts!"

Qin Feng made a decision in his heart.

That is to practice martial arts, only then will there be a glimmer of hope.

After making a breakthrough in martial arts, he will redeem himself and then marry and extract entries for himself.

However, Qin Feng is only a servant, it's difficult for him to come into contact with martial arts secrets.

After all, martial arts are controlled by noble families and sects.

Returning to his bed, Qin Feng suppressed his excitement and slowly fell asleep.

"Dang dang dang!"

Early the next morning, a hurried bell rang.

This bell is the signal to start work.

Before starting work every day, all the servants have to gather in the square of the Medicine Manor.

Waiting for the chief servant to assign tasks.

Qin Feng freshened up quickly and walked out of the gate.

After walking for a few minutes, Qin Feng arrived at a square.

This square is the servant square of the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

At this moment, the square is filled with servants, there are thousands of them.

These servants are all from families that have suffered disasters and can't survive. They were bought by the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

Just as Qin Feng entered the crowd, a dark-skinned young man hurriedly walked over: "Qin Feng, my dormitory still lacks one person, why don't you move in with me!"

This dark-skinned young man is named Zhang Hu, he has been a servant at the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor for more than ten years.

He likes to bully newcomers.

The reason Zhang Hu invited Qin Feng is because the frequency of anomalies has increased recently, and he wants Qin Feng to share the cost of oil.

"Brother Zhang, someone has already invited me!"

Without thinking, Qin Feng refused.

Zhang Hu's reputation among the servants is not very good, he often bullies Qin Feng.

If Qin Feng enters Zhang Hu's dormitory, it's estimated that Qin Feng will have to pay for Zhang Hu's oil.

Zhang Hu was not discouraged and ran towards others.

Qin Feng also went to the management office and registered for work.

Shortly after, the chief servant arrived with a group of guards.

The chief servant's surname is Huang, he is a wealthy middle-aged man.

After the chief servant arrived, he didn't directly assign tasks.

Instead, he looked at a middle-aged man in martial attire behind him.

This middle-aged man in martial attire is also surnamed Huang, he is a guard of the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor, rumored to be a distant relative of Chief Servant Huang.
