Recharging the Jianghu

Lu Jinge opens his eyes to find himself the lowest-ranking beggar in the Beggar Sect, without even a broken bowl, yet bound to the "Villain Gold System": killing Jianghu evildoers converts their crimes into cash, and recharging grants internal energy and upgrades techniques. So while others practice martial arts, he spends money; while others risk their lives, he does the accounts—killing bandits, raiding black shops, suppressing the Salt Gang, stirring up trouble in the prefecture, turning the evildoer bounty list into an ATM. But the system only boosts cultivation, not experience, and he often gets schooled by cunning old-timers' dirty tricks, so he keeps recharging to cover his weaknesses. Along the way, he meets the female hero Shen Jinghong, who is on a mission to investigate a case, sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, and they go from misunderstanding to teaming up to entrusting their lives to each other; he also investigates the conspiracy of the Nine Nether Ancestor and the "Heavenly Abyss Fragments," fighting from the Martial Arts Conference to the Demon Sect, the imperial court, and overseas immortal mountains, and finally in the great battle between good and evil, he relies on a "bounty live stream" to gang up on the old demon. The truth is revealed: the system is actually a karmic magic treasure specifically designed to counter the Nine Nether Ancestor, and every evildoer he kills chips away at the Ancestor's life. In the end, he scatters billions of taels of evildoer gold, and Lu Jinge takes Shen Jinghong to retire and open a escort agency. Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, it's about human relations and worldly wisdom—plus the system's payment notification sound. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Recharging the Jianghu — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
