Eventually, Jiang Beiran survived. He also knew that he had been cheated, and recognized the fact that he had been tricked into an illegal mine by some biscuits.

He laughed at himself for being so stupid. However, he was not resigned to his fate, because he still had the system. He could still turn the tables!
Although the system that had no user manual at all was extremely treacherous, Jiang Beiran thought he had figured out its peculiarities.
Basically, when choosing a quest with good rewards, one must be alert and treat it with extra caution.
The previous [Quest of Finding a Mentor] was one such example. Although the black-robed Taoist was a conman, perhaps not a Taoist of the Sect of Shying Fire at all, the goal of the quest released by the system was only to become his apprentice, and it did not mention what he would be learning during the apprenticeship. A man teaching one martial arts would be considered one’s mentor; so would a man teaching one the art of deception.
Having realized this, Jiang Beiran reflected upon his hardships to learn from his mistakes. He thought that if he could have figured it out earlier, he should have acted smarter and tactfully pointed out the black-robed Taoist’s scam. Perhaps then the black-robed Taoist would not have sold him to the illegal mine. Instead, the Taoist might have brought him along as he conned his way across the world.

However, he behaved like an outright idiot, deeply convinced of every word the black-robed Taoist had said. He even told the Taoist that he was an orphan and had run away from home. It was clearly telling the other party to trick him, as there would be nothing to worry about.
