The Laid-Back Mercenary: Jin Laosan, the Slacker

Before transmigrating, he died suddenly after working overtime all night.

After transmigrating, he became a layabout in a mercenary group, spending every day slacking off, making money, and dodging assassins.

The good news: he was bound to a Grudge Value System.

The bad news: using the System's space costs money,

and he owed the Jinli Pavilion six million taels of silver in predatory loans. With interest piling up, he might never pay it off in this lifetime.

The worse news: he had accidentally offended Baili Jinghong, the top assassin of the Shadowkill Tower, who was dead set on taking his life.

The reason? Xiao Shijiu wouldn't dare tell anyone, even at gunpoint. He'd only accidentally taken one of her... personal garments.

Known in the martial world as “Jin Laosan,” he appeared to be a slick-talking loafer. In truth, he had once been the nineteenth commander of the Black Guard. All he wanted was to lie flat, pay off his debts, and help the mercenary group's leader, the Peach Blossom Monk, and its second-in-command, Jinbai Feiying, deal with a few “minor problems.”

Unfortunately, trouble never left him alone.

A massacre, Northern Barbarian weapons, the Golden Thread Peony, political undercurrents at court... One old affair after another surged in like a tide, pushing this loafer, who only wanted to take it easy, step by step toward the heart of the storm.

Behind him, a woman holding a golden abacus smiled sweetly, while another woman clutched a short dagger and ground her teeth in fury.

“Jin Laosan, your good days are over.”

Far away, Chu Youhan, nicknamed the Gossip Compass, was writing a series of illustrated stories based on him and selling them throughout the martial world!
