I Just Became the Abbot, and You're Asking Me to Be a Mercenary?

Lin Ming was reborn as a monk in a remote temple. After his master passed away, he took over as abbot.

Looking at the decrepit temple, the dwindling incense offerings, and his fellow monks who were so poor they could barely afford to eat, he suddenly awakened a Mercenary System.

Mercenaries?

This... doesn't seem right, does it?

I'm a monk!

But with no incense offerings and his junior brothers and sisters on the verge of starving to death, he had no choice but to leave the mountain and find some work!

"Amitabha. I'll descend the mountain to vanquish demons!"

A few months later.

On a battlefield in a certain country in Black Africa.

Several monks in kasayas, wielding AKs, are mowing down black people!

A war correspondent asks in shock, "Hello, Master. Aren't you a monk? Why are you killing people?"

"Do black people even count as people? This humble monk is vanquishing demons and sending evil people to the afterlife."

"Uh... sending them to the afterlife with assault rifles?"

"Nonsense! This is a wooden fish! Every time it goes rat-a-tat-tat, I'm guiding a wronged soul to enlightenment! Enough talk. Get out of the way. Don't interfere with my long-range shooting!"
