The heroes in martial arts novels usually made a living in the name of chivalry, helping the people and helping those in need. They usually didn't accept rewards, but they would be given gold and silver treasures by those who needed help. These treasures also became their source of wealth. In addition, some heroes also knew how to do business and earn money. For example, in "Escaping Heroes," the protagonist had no sword in his hand, only money. He was a second-generation heir who had transformed into a hero. In "I'm a Hero in the World of Martial Arts," the protagonist could open all kinds of treasure chests after obtaining the Hero System. These treasure chests might also contain wealth. In summary, the heroes in martial arts novels relied on chivalry to make a living, but they might also make money through other means.
