It's been a few days since I arrived in this world, and I've found that the people here seem more real than in the manga.
I mean, everyone here acts like barbarians: many can't speak properly, most can't write or read. In addition, everyone's personal hygiene is at a very low level. Everyone's nails are blackened, they smell terrible, and their bodies are covered in dirt. I decided to deal with this right after I took over the fortress.
After exploring the fortress for a bit, I realized that the fortress itself is in terrible condition: the walls are made of earth, the houses are barely holding up.
Now about the Chen family. Nothing is known about the mother, but I managed to observe his father and find out why he is famous even outside the region. He is certainly not a genius, but he is not an idiot either. He is quite strong and skilled. He is quite good with a spear; in comparison, he is only slightly behind the entry-level Qin Manjia. But that's all: he is somewhere between a rare and an epic character.
During this time, I earned another 250 points by completing daily quests, and became stronger and more resilient. I mainly spent the points on knowledge, because knowledge is power, but I also bought a few more things: a method of training with a sword and an axe, and just in case, a book on simple martial arts, which I practice in my free time.
Thanks to all this, I decided to go on my first robbery tomorrow. But for now, I will do something else. During a little research, I learned that people do not know what sugar and hot pepper are. The lower and middle class mostly care about the edibility of food, not its taste.
The main spices used here are salt and some plants, but they are expensive and are mainly used by merchants and nobles. If I bring pepper, sugar and a few other things to the market (the seeds are in the system store), although the price is steep, but if I grow them, I can become even richer and more influential. But this is for the future, after Su Ying becomes my wife, because her connections will help me a lot in this.
Seeing that there was still a lot of time until the evening, I decided to spar with people in the fortress, choosing the weakest first and then the strongest. After an easy victory, I received a notification: "Congratulations on your first victory! 250 points for the achievement and +3 points for defeating the opponent!"
This motivated me for another ten duels, which I won at the beginning, but by the end I was tired and chose more difficult opponents, so I lost. But I still got 45 points.
Under the gaze of everyone around me, I went to my room to sleep.

Bandit A: Hey, what's got into the young master? He scared me when he was smiling like a maniac after the first battle.
Bandit B: Yeah, but it's still good news - he's finally doing something.
Shenji: Did he hit his head on something? It's none of my business though.
Suddenly, he smiled secretly and walked away with a strange gait: "Where did I put that drawing?"

Morning. I decided to start with the daily quest. After that, after taking a bath, I saw that I had quite a decent amount of points:
Score: 443
After searching the system for something useful, I accidentally found the Huashan School training and techniques worth 5000. At first, I didn't understand what kind of school it was, but then something clicked in my head: this is from the manga "Return of the Blooming Blade". What is it doing here?
me: System
System: What do you want? Although it doesn't look like it, I am also busy setting up the system and improving it.
me: Why is this here?
The system didn't understand the question at first, but after looking more closely at what was pointed at, it understood and said:
System: A regular point store doesn't only have regular goods, it also has goods, techniques, and more from the various anime, manga, and novels you've read or played. Some were greatly weakened, but their value was still enormous - even after 100 years, you won't be able to buy 10% of all goods.
Me: Okay, then why is it so cheap?
System: Because it only helps you learn them. You won't learn them right away - you need to train your body hard to be able to use Huashan techniques.
Me: I see... thank you, that's all I wanted to ask.
System: Yeah, no problem.
After that, the elf disappeared, and I decided to save up for the rest of the time.
Me: Oh, right! I wanted to go on my first heist today. That will probably give me points too.
And suddenly a blue window pops up in front of me:
Task: Rob a merchant who will be passing by the mountain in an hour.
Reward: An unknown outstanding hunter, Qin Man, will join you.
Me: now you are talking!
I'll get it early, which sounds good.
After 10 minutes I got to the place where the merchant would pass and started waiting for him.
