After the plan was developed, we began to pack. I took and packed all the essentials to make it easier to reach the goal. Many of the fortress residents noticed us packing and thought that we were going to rob again, and decided to offer help. I refused, because it would be more difficult to get through with them. But when I refused them, I remembered that the nobleman would have a lot of money and jewelry. So I started thinking about whether to take someone to drag them, because we would not be able to carry them. During these thoughts, I remembered that I can see the skills, hidden features, name and profession of the person I am looking at, and began to examine the candidates. However, after a while, I sighed in disappointment: almost everyone in the fortress is worse than usual. They do not have normal skills, and they will not be able to help me in any way. But when I looked at the Warlord, I was stunned.

Name: Xu Shenji

(Notorious Bad Military Advisor)

Age: 49

Skills: None

Hidden Trait: A bad Warlord who can't calculate anything.

Those who follow his advice fail.

What surprised me? That he had awakened the hidden trait so early. This trait would help me immensely. I quickly ran up to him and brought him along.

The Warlord was surprised when I brought him along and asked:Young Master, what happened?

When I reached my destination, I stopped, turned my head towards him and asked him: Warlord, I need your advice.

When he heard this, he raised an eyebrow and nodded his head, telling me to continue.

I started to speak again: You know the city of Heishi, right? If we want to sneak in there, from which side can we be caught?

The Warlord looked thoughtful and after a minute said: The most dangerous place is the northern part; you will definitely be caught there.

After hearing his answer, I hit him on the shoulder and thanked him: Thank you I will definitely bring you a drink as a thank you.ou, 

He was a little surprised by the blow, but he simply nodded his head and went about his business.

I was happy. Why? His hidden trait itself is crap if you don't know about it. But if you know and completely ignore any advice he gives, you can avoid the most unfortunate decisions!

That's why I'm going to enter the city from the north. After that, I started looking for Qin Manya to report this. After that, we took horses and started walking towards the city. This time, there were no incidents on the road, and we reached the city by evening. As we approached, we were met by a walled city. Just in case, I bought a rope with a hook to climb the walls; I had to spend another 50 points. My poor score. But still, I found a place where I set up fireworks, and then I just had to wait. While we were waiting, I noticed a boar and decided to hunt it. After a while, I was able to kill it, and I was awarded points for killing a boar: +6 points. Not much, but nice. I lit a fire and started cooking it, using the pepper I found as a spice. Qin Man just sat and looked towards the city, waiting for his revenge to begin. But suddenly he felt a strange pleasant aroma that excited his taste buds. He turned in my direction and saw pork with pepper.

He looked at me and asked: Master, what is this?

I immediately answered: This is pepper, try it. "This will be the most delicious thing you've eaten in a long time.

I said, handing him the pork coated with pepper.

He didn't touch it at first, but after he took a bite, his eyes lit up and he shouted: Delicious! What is this? I've never tasted anything like it.

I explained about the pepper to him while we were eating, and then night fell and we began to carry out our plan. I immediately lit the fireworks and we ran towards the northern wall. After a while, the fireworks began to fly up and explode, attracting attention - which is what was needed. No one noticed us approaching the walls. I gave Qin Manyu a rope with a hook to throw it and we climbed the walls, no one noticed how we climbed and how we made our way. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the beautiful explosion. Once we were in the city, we started looking for the He family estate. The city was a little bigger than I thought, but after half an hour we found the estate and started getting closer.
