   Reader note

   The protagonist retires from the Quick Transmigration Bureau, starting out penniless and nearly starving. He steals from a blind man's courtyard, and right after committing the crime, he encounters a young man and steals his black gold ancient sword. He's chased all the way, gets his blind man's sleeping mirror shattered, and accidentally sends the young man flying (literally). He then faints from hunger and is discovered to be a member of the Zhang family (his personality is particularly annoying, and he speaks in a mute manner multiple times—a true miracle doctor!). The extra chapters include a cinematic version (this book is hilarious; the protagonist has a golden sweet potato that farts, and every time it farts like a typhoon, but the young man and his friends think it's the protagonist who farts, to the point that the hair on the young man, the blind man, and Wu Xie stands on end). —Qi Luo [Huai Shi] highly recommends it!
