Tomb Raiding: The All-Purpose Ace of the Western Frontier, Outsmarting the Thirty-Six Clans

After transmigrating as a lowly street vendor in the western borderlands, Wen Chen only wanted to earn enough to get by. But after standing up for someone, he incurred the wrath of a gang of pickpockets. Cornered by three men in an alley, he scared them off by pretending to have consumption and coughing up blood. Unbeknownst to him, a mysterious client had been watching. A deposit of five hundred yuan bought him a job delivering a bag of diamonds to Bird Market, with a deadline of four days.

After he was tailed from the station, accosted by fake beggars trying to snatch his bag, and had the police break down his door in the middle of the night, even his underwear was stolen with a knife. Wen Chen hid the diamonds in a hole in a brick, stuffed them into the soles of his shoes, and finally swallowed them, enduring three days of misery. When the fake diamonds were stolen one after another, he turned the tables, dug the real ones out of a trash can, and spat them onto the table. The client was stunned. "You're the first person to surprise me this much."

Only afterward did he learn that the delivery job had been an entrance test for the Xijing intelligence trade. Using his street smarts, Wen Chen fought back against the siege of the Thirty-Six Factions and was exceptionally admitted as a "Fixer." But this was only the beginning. Above Fixers were the Wind-Ears and the Thousand-Mile Eyes, and at the very top stood the "Jack-of-All-Trades," a title that made all of Xijing tremble. With the business card in his wallet as his starting point, he was about to uncover the deepest secrets of the Thirty-Six Factions. The underworld of Xijing was about to be reshuffled.
