Chapter 555: Opportunity is just a thing, just have it, don’t be picky
Xiaobai wears a red safety helmet on his head and directs a group of demon soldiers to beat dust and tie steel bars.
It thought that as the dean, he would take office directly, but unexpectedly, it had to start from the college.
Fortunately, Qinglong was with me to help, otherwise we wouldn't even think about starting work for a month.
He was actually cursing in his heart. He didn't know where Gu Shanhai had gone. It was completely inhumane to leave him a deer here to do construction work.
"Yo~"
After Xiaobai gave instructions blindly for half an hour, he asked Qinglong when the meal would be served. He was a little hungry.
Qinglong glanced at Xiaobai, then clicked his short claw, and a proficiency panel appeared in front of Xiaobai's eyes.
【Golden Bell Jar (1/1000)】
【Iron Shirt (1/1000)】
【Tong Zi Kung (1/1000)】
This means that your proficiency level has not been fully maxed out today, and you have to max it out if you want to eat.
Gu Shanhai gave Qinglong a hard target. He asked Xiaobai to reach a thousand proficiency points in the three-piece set every day, otherwise he would not be given food, and if he did not complete it, he could be hung up and beaten.
Seeing this, Xiaobai's expression couldn't help but change: "Yo!"
The idea is to be accommodating. Gu Shanhai is not here anyway, so it is not a big deal if he misses one day of training.
This doesn't even have a level. Who knows how many years of practice it will take to perfect this three-piece suit.
Xiaobai naturally knew where the three-piece set of the Golden Bell Cover Iron Cloth Shirt and the Boy's Kung Fu came from. It was the deer version modified by Gu Shanhai. It was definitely not a normal version. He didn't even know how high the upper limit was. Maybe you won’t be satisfied with it for the rest of your life.
Qinglong shook his head, and then pulled out the background data of the proficiency panel and showed it directly to Xiaobai, indicating that Gu Shanhai could see it. As long as you skip one day of practice, the proficiency panel would send a message to Gu Shanhai.
Then it had to send the video of Xiaobai's beating to Gu Shanhai.
Xiaobai couldn't help but blush. If it hadn't been unable to understand the data on the proficiency panel, it would have changed everything, so that Gu Shanhai not only couldn't monitor it, but also mistakenly thought it was complete.
But this is just an idea, and it feels that it will never be able to do it in its lifetime.
It is impossible to learn, and you will never learn thoroughly in your lifetime.
You can only rely on modification and proficiency to get by slowly.
It's also thanks to Xiaobai's good attitude, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to defeat Kecai, and he would definitely win Yuyu.
"Xiao Bai, what time is it? Why haven't you started practicing yet? Do you plan to stay up all night today?" Gu Shanhai's voice came from the proficiency panel.
"." Xiaobai thought that Gu Shanhai was too embarrassed. This thing could actually transmit sound. He suspected that he might be able to watch the live broadcast.
In the end, I could only reluctantly open up my stance and start practicing.
"Be serious, don't fool me. What I'm looking for is the increase in proficiency. You can't increase your proficiency by playing random tricks." Gu Shanhai's voice came over again.
Xiao Bai thought it was just a deer. Its main occupation was riding a horse and its part-time job was serving tea and water. Why should it practice martial arts.
The name of practicing it is very common, but actually practicing it is not a simple technique at all.
"Yo~" Xiaobai cursed and said, "Why don't you go back to being a mount? If you can't do it, you can serve as a tea boy, or even a little bit of help in the kitchen."
"You have a good idea. This matter has been decided for you. I am still preparing opportunities for Aesop. When I come back next time, if you can't complete the daily proficiency task, I have recently copied King Yu's Jiuding and let you Roll each tripod to make up for it." Gu Shanhai's voice came over again.
Hearing this, Xiaobai couldn't help but feel excited.
The Nine Cauldrons of King Yu that came out of Gu Shanhai's fortress are definitely not a serious symbol of imperial power, but the original function of the cauldron. Yes, it is a pot.
If it rolled inside, it would definitely not die, but it would definitely not be able to escape the pain.
In this regard, Gu Shanhai also kept his word.
So I could only calm down and start brushing up on proficiency.
As for the construction of the academy? Then there is no need to worry about it, there is Qinglong here, and the inner demon Taoist soldiers have the control of the civilized system.
When Xiaobai gave instructions, he just gave instructions blindly, without any effect at all.
The more important thing is to use it as a mascot and speed up the digestion of the three magical genes of the Golden Bell, Iron Cloth Shirt and Tong Zi Kung. Otherwise, it would take too much time to let it be digested slowly.
Getting stronger quickly is too painful, getting stronger moderately is too itchy, and getting stronger slowly takes too long.
In the end, Gu Shanhai could only combine the last method with exercise to help Xiaobai speed up.
It's just that Xiaobai never thought about getting stronger, and turned into a logistics deer, thinking about this every day.
In order to prevent Xiaobai from turning into a salted fish and enjoying life every day, Gu Shanhai could only find something to do for him.
Otherwise, Gu Shanhai would be so busy every day that Xiao Bai would be better off and live a more comfortable life than him. Then Gu Shanhai would just take this opportunity to retaliate.
Qinglong didn't have any ideas, he just watched Xiaobai practice quietly.
Then it has nothing to do, and it can't help with practice. It can only do this kind of thing by itself.
"Already escaped." Aesop's expression showed disappointment and fear. This was the messenger of the devil. If the other party knew that he had betrayed the other party, he would never let him go.
The knight Wu Mu on the side checked the wooden house, with a solemn look on his face: "Are you sure it was roasting on the fire?"
"Of course, I'm sure." Aesop was a little confused. He didn't understand why Wu Mu asked this.
"Then I'm afraid the devil's messenger deceived you. Look here, is there any place where you can warm yourself by the fire?" Wu Mu said seriously.
"Of course it's the stove." Aesop replied subconsciously, but he suddenly realized that there was no stove in this wooden house.
He remembered clearly that the stove was made of iron.
This is a very unreasonable place. Even if this cabin is abandoned, the original owner would not be able to put an iron stove here.
In the eyes of ordinary people, such an iron stove is a luxury product, and iron has always been a scarce thing.
"The messenger of the devil is really scary. He actually made me feel false warmth." Aesop was also frightened. Fortunately, he ran fast. Otherwise, he might have died in the cold. As expected, he had the protection of his lord and lord. , he was able to have such luck and escape from death at the hands of the devil's messenger.
"Yes, you should thank the lord. If it weren't for him, you would be a corpse in the wooden house now." As Korsi's retainer, Umu's loyalty to Korsi is understandable.
"Nothing was found. We have to go back and report to the lord as soon as possible."
Wu Mu knew that something big was going to happen this time. He had also heard about the devil's bloodline, but it had never happened in the territory of the Thorn Lion.
But this time, things were even more serious. What appeared around the territory was not the devil's bloodline, but a devil's messenger, which was far more terrifying than the devil's bloodline.
He had heard about it. It was said that there was a demon bloodline that could release a huge fireball and burn a horse to death.
But then, the fallen man with the blood of the devil also became a mummy in an instant. It was obviously because he used the blood of the devil and was punished by the Lord of the Dawn that he became a mummy.
This incident was widely spread at that time.
"Well, the wilderness is too dangerous. If there are other devil messengers, we can't deal with them." Aesop was also very scared at this time.
In fact, I felt a little regretful. If I had known better, I wouldn't have betrayed Gu Shanhai.
But then I thought about it, if I didn't confess the devil's messenger, how could I get the lord's forgiveness and become a tax collector in the Thorn Lion territory?
This can be considered a blessing in disguise.
Umu glanced at Aesop. He actually didn't think much of him. If it wasn't for Korsi's order, how could he say this to a mere pariah.
He even heard that Corsi planned to promote this untouchable to a tax collector. This was simply ridiculous. He didn't know what this untouchable had given to the lord to get this honor.
You know, the children of nobles are nobles, the children of knights are knights, and the children of tax collectors are tax collectors. A pariah like Aesop should remain a pariah for the rest of his life, whether it is him or his descendants. , would only be a pariah, but I didn’t expect that he could be turned around.
‘Hmph, I really thought that if a pariah got the honor of being a lord, he would no longer be a pariah. ’
‘How can a pariah who cannot even count numbers become a tax collector? ’
Wumu was very disdainful of Aesop in his heart. Even if he had the honor of becoming a tax collector, he would not be able to integrate into their class for the rest of his life. He would only be called a jerk and be isolated. Suppressed him and made him lose his position as tax collector.
Let this untouchable understand what an ant is.
Wu Mu did not show these thoughts, but hid them deeply. Even if he wanted to suppress them, he would not take action directly. For Wu Mu, he was a retainer of the lord, and his status was second only to the lord, his wife, and the lord. The people under the heir would naturally not get their hands dirty and deal with Aesop personally.
He would even act kind and talkative in front of Aesop, to show that he was as broad-minded as the lord.
Someone will naturally take care of Aesop's task.
Naturally, Aesop had never thought about such a thing, and of course, he couldn't think of it either.
As an illiterate young man, how could he know about these dirty things, not to mention that it was impossible to think that he would be targeted for such things.
Now, all he could think about was the majestic scene after he became a tax collector.
He had seen tax collectors before. He led people to collect taxes from every house in a showy manner. He was a high-level figure.
"Okay, don't think so much, we have to get going." Wu Mu said, got on his horse, and galloped away with the other knights.
Aesop spread his legs and chased him all the way, running out of breath, but the knights had no intention of waiting for him.
When I came here, I ran here, and when I went back, I naturally ran back.
He was just a commoner, so naturally he couldn't afford to keep a horse. Even if he could afford it, he couldn't keep one. Only lords could own horses.
'When I become a tax collector, your lord may give me a horse so that I can ride back to the countryside. It will be very majestic. ’ Aesop thought about this in his mind as an incentive.
Horses were owned by the lord and would be delegated to the higher-ups in the territory for use. Umu's horses were not actually his, but the lord's. Some tax collectors would also receive a horse as a symbol of status.
When he thought of this, Aesop became a little troubled again.
‘If I have a horse, how should I raise it? The house is so small that the horse can’t live in it, and I heard that horse food is very expensive, so I simply can’t afford it. ’
‘Then it’s better not to do it. Even without horses, I will still be very powerful after becoming a tax collector. ’
Finally, Aesop made up his mind that if the lord really wanted to give him a horse, he would refuse it. Otherwise, if he couldn't afford it and the horse died or became ill, he would be whipped by the lord.
Yes, although the horse belongs to the lord, all expenses during the breeding process are borne by the adopter, and if there are problems with the horse, you will be punished.
Other professions such as knights and tax collectors are passed down from generation to generation, and a large amount of wealth has been accumulated in the process. Therefore, raising a horse is not a problem at all. Even if the horse has problems, it can be offset by wealth. punish.
Forget it about Aesop, he has none of these.
With this thought in his mind, he also noticed that the knights were riding their horses farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared from his sight.
How could he possibly outrun horses that were well-trained and fed better than him? Besides, he had already run once when he came here. Before he could recover his strength, Wumu had already finished his exploration and was ready to go back, so he ran now , he was already a little exhausted.
Once the speed slows down, it will definitely not be able to catch up with the progress of the knights.
This made him feel miserable.
There were wild beasts in the wilderness that could kill him, not to mention the wandering devil messengers. If he bumped into them, his life would be lost.
While he was thinking wildly, his foot suddenly missed the ground and his whole body rolled down.
The back of his head hit a rock, and before the severe pain could be felt, his consciousness suddenly blackened and he fainted.
When he woke up, Aesop only felt a pain in the back of his head, and there was darkness in front of him.
"Is this some kind of cave?" Fortunately, Aesop could see the faint light coming from his head.
The good news is that he can get out, but the bad news is that he seems to be seriously injured. He can smell the blood coming from his body, even if the blood has dried up.
"And, what is this?"
In the dim light, Aesop discovered that he had an extra bracelet on his hand. He could vaguely see that it was green.
But he didn't know exactly what it was.
But what is certain is that he did not originally have this bracelet. He only put it on for unknown reasons while he was unconscious after falling into a cave.
"It can't be a curse from the devil." Aesop couldn't help being frightened by his guess. (End of chapter)
