Hong Kong Variety Show: Starting with Five Poisons, I, Dongxing Jade Kirin, am the Author: Tiger Emperor
Xu Lang is reborn into the world of Hong Kong films and becomes the leader of the Tung Sing triad, nicknamed Jade Kirin.
On this day, Xu Lang activated the Great Villain System, summoning the Five Poisons, Centipede Tang Shankui, Spirit Snake Hong Wentong, Scorpion Ma Teng, Gecko He Yuanxin, and Toad Lao Wu Li Hao at the start.
Xu Lang: "From now on, I'll be in charge of Tung Sing. Who has any objections?"
Crow: "I'm going to flip the table!"
Xu Lang: "I'll make sure you're all finished, then I'll be the one who..."
Chapter One: Dongxing Jade Kirin, Toad Old Five
In a bathhouse in Tin Shui Wai, Yuen Long, Hong Kong Island, a fit and healthy man in his mid-twenties is lying on a massage chair, enjoying the services of a massage therapist.
The man was about 1.85 meters tall, with a strong and muscular physique. In particular, the Qilin tattoo on his back seemed to come to life as the massage therapist massaged him.
The man's name was Xu Lang, nicknamed Jade Kirin in the martial arts world. He was a Red Pole (a high-ranking officer) in the Dongxing General Hall.
The "Red Stick of the Zhazhi" is considered a minor leader in the gang, second only to the "Hall Master." Others of the same rank include the "White Paper Fan of the Zhazhi" and the "Straw Sandals of the Zhazhi."
Among them, White Paper Fan is known for its intelligence and is generally in charge of financial matters, while Straw Sandal has a wide network of connections and is responsible for gathering intelligence and recruiting followers. As for Red Stick, he is the gang's militant and is responsible for fighting and settling disputes.
However, Xu Lang's position as a Red Pole was not that of a Red Pole under a branch hall, but rather a Red Pole of the main hall, directly under the command of Camel, the head of the East Star gang, and could be considered a reserve member of the gang.
There are several other newly appointed Red Pole members like him who directly obey the main hall. If a leader of a branch dies and there is no suitable replacement within the branch, they will select someone from among these reservists who are well-known in the gang to take over the position of branch leader.
But no one knew that Xu Lang was not actually from this world, but a transmigrator who had taken over someone else's place.
Before Xu Lang transmigrated, he was just a company manager. Due to alcohol poisoning from entertaining clients, he was transported to this Hong Kong variety show world in a daze.
When he first arrived in this world, he was a little unaccustomed to it. After all, he had lived a lawful and compliant life for decades, and suddenly his identity changed to that of a short mule. Anyone would need an adjustment period.
Fortunately, after about a month, he has gotten used to his current identity.
"Brother Lang, it's time. Would you like to extend the time?" The massage therapist said with a fawning smile, rubbing Xu Lang's shoulder.
"Adding another hour won't do if it's just like this," Xu Lang teased the massage therapist.
"Brother Lang, you're so naughty!" The massage technician blushed and said coquettishly, whispering in Xu Lang's ear, "Brother Lang, add one more, you're the best person."
"Then add one more!" Xu Lang slapped the massage girl's thigh.
Normally, these massages don't come with extra services. In his previous life, Xu Lang wouldn't have wasted money on such a lavish meal. However, his current status is different, and the original owner of this body always extended his massage time and spent money extravagantly. To maintain his original persona, he naturally wouldn't change that easily.
Just as the massage therapist started massaging him again, he heard a soft "ding" sound in his ear.
Then, a voice came to my mind.
"Congratulations, host, on successfully adapting to life in the world of Hong Kong films and activating the Great Villain System. Do you accept this?"
From the very first day he transmigrated, Xu Lang had been searching for his cheat code, but he couldn't find it. This made him think that the memories of Hong Kong movies in his mind were his cheat code, which frustrated him for a long time.
He never expected that a massage today would bring him such good fortune; naturally, he couldn't miss it.
After silently accepting the message, the system notifications continued to ring in my mind.
"Congratulations, host, for activating the Great Villain System and receiving the Newbie Gift Pack, which rewards you with 100% loyalty from Li Hao, the Fifth Toad of the Five Poisons Sect."
The reward made Xu Lang's eyes light up. Although Li Hao, the fifth toad of the Five Poisons Sect, was not a first-class expert, it depended on the comparison. Compared to these short mules who only knew how to chop people with knives, without using firearms, his invulnerability to knives and spears alone would be enough for him to take on dozens of them.
Having such a talented person join his ranks would significantly boost his power compared to the other low-ranking members of the main hall.
After receiving his reward, Xu Lang waited for the massage girl to finish her service, then changed his clothes and returned to the finance company he managed with his underlings.
A small boss like him has his own businesses, and his finance company is in Tin Shui Wai, only about a ten-minute walk from the bathhouse.
By the time I returned to the finance company, it was already evening.
Not long after I sat down in the office, a subordinate came knocking on the door to report, "Boss, there's a man named Li Hao outside who wants to see you!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lang knew that the talent rewarded by the system had arrived, and immediately said to his underlings, "Bring him to my office!"
"Yes, boss!"
Before long, a burly man followed his underling into the office.
The man was about 1.8 meters tall, with a straight nose, a wide mouth, and a muscular build. Compared to his appearance in the movie, he was no different except for his short hair, which was now that of a modern person.
"Are you Li Hao?" Xu Lang asked.
"Yes, Brother Lang!" Li Hao cupped his hands and said, "I want to follow you from now on!"
Xu Lang naturally couldn't refuse the talent that the system rewarded him with, someone who was 100% loyal. However, he couldn't just agree to it casually in front of his subordinates; he still had to go through the necessary formalities.
"You want to follow me? What skills do you have?"
"I have practiced martial arts since childhood, and I have mastered the Toad Style Kung Fu to a high level. My Hard Kung Fu is now so advanced that I am invulnerable to swords and spears!" Li Hao replied.
"Let's test his quality!" Xu Lang said to the henchman who led Li Hao in.
"Yes, boss!"
After the younger brother finished speaking, he took out a butterfly knife and slashed at Li Hao.
Since it was just a test, the younger brother didn't go all out, and he didn't aim for any vital areas.
But after the cut, it only scratched the skin a little, and not a drop of blood came out.
Seeing this, the younger brother was still a bit skeptical and slashed at him a few more times.
But the butterfly knife's limited lethality was simply insufficient to inflict any effective damage on Li Hao.
Xu Lang was very satisfied with this. He had originally worried that Li Hao's kung fu skills would still be the same as in the movie after he came to the modern world, but now it seems that he had worried too much.
"Alright, stop!"
After stopping his underling, Xu Lang looked at Li Hao and said, "You're quite skilled. From now on, you'll stay by my side!"
"Yes, boss!" Li Hao immediately bowed respectfully.

Chapter Two: The Mighty Man, the Porcupine, and the Camel Are Invited
Chapter Two: The Mighty Man Hui, the Porcupine, and the Camel Are Invited.
Not long after Xu Lang finished making arrangements for Li Hao, a van pulled up in front of the finance company.
After the car door opened, a burly man who was over 1.8 meters tall and wearing a black vest emerged from the car. The vest was bulging from his muscles, and just standing there gave people a sense of oppression.
The doorman saw him and quickly opened the door to greet him, "Brother Hui!"
"Hmm!" the burly man replied casually and walked into the finance company.
This burly man was named Meng Renhui, and he was Xu Lang's top henchman. Before Li Hao arrived, he was considered Xu Lang's most capable underling.
After entering the company, Meng Renhui strode confidently toward Xu Lang's office.
Xu Lang was reviewing the company's recent accounts. His finance company mainly engaged in lending, and although the profits from this business couldn't compare to those of loan sharks, they were still quite considerable.
Moreover, Xu Lang loathed that "number four" stuff in both his past and present lives, and no matter how high the profits were, he would never touch it.
"Knock knock knock!"
Hearing the knock, Xu Lang casually said, "Come in!"
"Boss!" Meng Renhui pushed open the door and greeted Xu Lang before glancing at Li Hao standing next to Xu Lang.
"Ah Hui, this is my new recruit today, Li Hao. He's quite skilled!" Xu Lang introduced him, then turned to Li Hao, "Ah Hao, this is my right-hand man, Hui. You two should get to know each other better!"
"Yes, boss!"
After they both responded, they nodded to each other.
"What brings you here?" Xu Lang asked Meng Renhui.
"Boss Camel wants you to come to his house tonight to discuss something. I tried calling you earlier but couldn't get through, so he called me instead!" Meng Renhui replied.
Xu Lang was getting a massage at the bathhouse, but the signal was bad in the massage room, so he couldn't answer the phone. Camel couldn't get through to him either, so they notified Mengren Hui.
Upon hearing this, Xu Lang raised an eyebrow. "Do you know what it is?"
These "red stick" officers, who were essentially under the direct command of the head office, were mainly responsible for doing shady work for the triad. Generally speaking, when the triad leader summoned them for a meeting, it was mostly to discuss matters for the triad.
"It must be about porcupines!" Mengren Hui said.
Upon hearing this, Xu Lang instantly understood.
Porcupine, like him, was a high-ranking member of the Tung Sing headquarters, and his territory was also the same as his, in Tin Shui Wai.
As the headquarters of Tung Sing, Yuen Long was not only the territory of him and Porcupine, but also the territory of other underlings who directly obeyed the main branch.
But recently, Porcupine has been acting out of his mind, whether from greed or being misled, he's actually insisting on switching sides to Hung Hing.
Hung Hing and Tung Sing were already at odds, and Porcupine was a junior Red Pole under the command of the main branch, and his territory was in the Yuen Long area of the Tung Sing triad. How could Tung Sing possibly let him switch sides?
As time went on, the matter escalated.
After learning the reason for the meeting, Xu Lang glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "It's getting late. You two can come with me to the main hall!"
"Yes, boss!" the two replied.
When Meng Renhui left with Xu Lang, he called a few of his underlings to come along.
Although the Tung Sing headquarters is also in Yuen Long, Yuen Long is not like the bustling areas of Central. In Yuen Long, there are only a few streets, and you can walk to each other in a few steps. Yuen Long is a rural area of Hong Kong Island, and its area is much larger than the bustling core area. It takes about 20 minutes to drive from Tin Shui Wai to Lung Tau Village.
When they arrived at the Camel Villa, two other groups had already arrived.
The leaders of these two groups are Da Mi and Da Dong, who, like Xu Lang, are directly under the command of the Dongxing Headquarters' top-ranking Red Sticks.
Da Mi was about thirty years old. He had a fair complexion, no beard, and very light eyebrows. His eyes held a ruthless look, and his face screamed "evil." He was clearly not someone to be trifled with.
Da Dong is a bit younger, about the same age as Xu Lang. Strictly speaking, Da Dong is quite good-looking, but perhaps because he has been in the underworld for a long time, he has a fierce and violent aura about him, just like Da Mi, with evil written all over his face.
Both of them are quite skilled and have a good reputation within Tung Sing, especially Big Mimi, who has been in the gang for over ten years and has extensive connections within Tung Sing.
Da Mi, who was chatting with Da Dong, immediately raised her hand and called out when she saw Xu Lang arrive, "Lang, over here!"
After Xu Lang strolled over, Da Mi said, "Old Ding called you too!"
"I did get a call, but I was taking a shower and didn't answer. Ah Hui came to tell me!" Xu Lang said.
