    Imagine calling the EU a country while talking about global politics.

    It's my opinion that this is a terrible time to try and release a novel like this that is correct. It is not my opinion that it is raising gas, oil, and wheat prices and thus significantly contributing to inflation around the globe. Those are just facts.

    What? Like seriously who thought this would be good to add to the trial read right now? Hey why don't we post a story where the protagonist goes to one of the most hated countries in the world at the moment? One that is currently waging one of the most unpopular wars in recent memory and contributing to messing up the global economy particularly wheat, gas, and oil.....

    This is a weird one. I mean there is a whole sub genre of MC's who are super cautious, but this takes it to the absolute extreme. Dude is cautious on a completely different level to the point where it is honestly kind of boring. I mean I totally get where the author is going with this and why the MC would make these choices, but it does get kind of repetitive and there is a feeling of a lack of stakes.

    Yeah, that's not what a summary is for though. It's supposed to tell you something about the story and draw you in. This tells you next to nothing about the story and rambles about some generic garbage.

    Read some of the raws. It's generic back in time and now it is time to show my childhood bully who is boss and do some faceslapping. Not to mention get the girl even though you were an old man when you died and clearly wouldn't have anything in common with a girl that age much less still be hanging onto that crush.

    No, I'm pretty sure you are suffering from confirmation bias. You want humanity to be seen a certain way so you seek out things that validate that while finding ways to write off things that go contrary to your arguments. Humans for all of our technical advancements aren't all the fundamentally different from animals. We can just do things on a bigger scale. That doesn't mean those other animals wouldn't turn out the exact same way as humans if they could. Plenty of examples of animals basically being a plague to local wildlife and ecosystems out there when they are transplanted for various reasons like drought, humans directly/indirectly allowing them to access new locations, temporary ability to travel due to an ice bridge or some other natural phenomena allowing them to move to an area they previously couldn't access, etc. For that matter, actual plagues the word you are using to describe humans are also caused by living things. They might be very small things but they 100% meet the definitions for life.

    He can always store it in the old prison pocket.

    Me either. Why not leave some in the room and go back after and turn them in tomorrow or something?

    "However, I didn't expect you to appraise all eight treasures at once."

    Like why not target the murder though....

    Even though he was a little thin and weak, if anyone took a second look at his crippled leg, he would immediately bear a grudge against them. He would also use different methods to find trouble with others. Slapping a servant or punching an apprentice was something that happened from time to time.

    He is trying to stack rewards...most likely hoping for some experience pills to keep him alive when he does the jade.

    In other words, he had to appraise eight treasures one by one this afternoon.

    Not really. The shopkeepers logic makes zero sense given we know that different treasures cause different levels of exhaustion and it is basically a gamble on if you'll get one that doesn't tax you much or not.

    After a night of dreams, he woke up and realized that everything was an illusion. He was depressed for a period of time.

    Why does every MC have the desire to do stuff right away? Stronger now? Better throw out a punch just can't hold in how awesome I am.

    If it weren't for the fact that the situation was not right, he would have immediately unleashed this technique to cultivate it.

    Yeah starting to think temples are sects are the real powers here not the government. He is just a frog in a well at this point.

    "Although there are Dao Temples in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they only teach the basics at most. In order to engage in actual entry-level cultivation, you still have to join the various Daoist sects."

    Highly unlikely given that anyone can cultivate.

    It was obvious that the government was the most powerful force in this world.

    Wait does that mean there are also unofficial court officials? Because official court officials seems kind of redundant.

    "Within the Lin Pawnshop, there are a total of three official court officials. The highest-ranked pawnbroker, Qin Dazhao, usually doesn't appear. The Second Pawnbroker, Dai Ming, has a cold face all day and is difficult to approach."

    I mean he doesn't know that. If he kept a high profile he could also be a high valued appraiser and get more protection and get access to better things to appraise.

    In this world, keeping a low profile did not necessarily mean that he would be safe. However, if he kept a high profile, he would die very quickly.

    Meanwhile, Xu Hongtao looked more robust. It was said that he had been in a gang long ago and had some martial arts background.

    Chen Shaojun was overjoyed. He could smell a disgusting stench from his body, but he did not care.
