Chapter 34 34: My friend, do you have any dreams?
Zhongli and Paimeng walked slowly towards Tiandou City, passing many villages and small towns, and seeing many local customs.
The location where the two "landed" was in Tiandou City.
It can be said to be the most "beautiful" landing point in the entire Tiandou Empire.
In Tiandou City, both commoners and nobles live relatively affluent lives, and at least three meals a day are very stable.
I still have some spare money to have fun, watch Soul Fighting, listen to music and so on.
Compared with the villages and small towns passing by now and Tiandou City, they are really like heaven and earth.
Regardless of the level of prosperity, the food alone is too much to describe.
Food is something that can be pursued and studied only when you are full.
Most civilians can only eat one meal a day, so how can they have delicious food?
On this day, the two passed by an unknown village.
The village is not big, with about eighty households.
"Thank you for the hospitality, grandpa."
Paimon was holding a bowl of porridge and said to an old man with some embarrassment.
It is said to be porridge, but it is no different from water.
She was so poor, yet they still served her porridge, which made Paimon feel a little embarrassed.
He originally planned to leave, but Zhongli had no intention of leaving. Instead, he tasted the bowl of porridge carefully, talking about the heat and so on while tasting it.
This puzzled Paimon.
No, you are Prince Yan. They are so poor, how dare you drink their porridge?
Paimon's eyes widened and he looked at Zhongli in disbelief, as if it was the first day he met him.
"No, you're welcome. I don't have anything at home to entertain you two. I'm very sorry."
The old man looked very honest, and his words were also very sincere.
It wasn't because Zhongli was dressed gorgeously and spoke so well that he entertained them.
And Paimon, this little guy is very cute. After decades of living, this is the first time he has seen such a magical spirit!
The little guy has a sweet mouth, but it's a pity that there is really nothing to eat at home, otherwise he would definitely serve it out.
Next to the old man, there was a boy who looked to be in his teens. He was wearing patched clothes and looked skinny.
At this time, he was looking longingly at the porridge Zhongli was drinking and swallowed.
His eyes were filled with desire, but he gritted his teeth and held back.
How strong is Zhongli?
Could he not know the situation of this family?
He still drank the porridge calmly, without any distractions.
"Old man, how old is your grandson this year?"
At some point, Zhongli put the empty bowl aside and asked the old man calmly.
This porridge should be the simplest porridge he has ever tasted. Under normal circumstances, according to his personality, he would not eat it.
However, this porridge was more than just a bowl of porridge, so Zhongli drank it without any distractions.
After hearing this, the old man was slightly stunned, and the child was also stunned. How old is he?
It seems that it has been four...five, or six years since the martial soul awakened?
For children from poor families, birthdays and so on are not important.
"Sir, my grandson should be twelve years old."
Zhongli sighed, looked at the empty bowl, and then at the skinny child.
The figure of a twelve-year-old child is not as good as that of an eight-year-old child in Liyue, which is sad and deplorable.
This child does not have the soul power fluctuations that a soul master should have in his body, which means that he does not have innate soul power and cannot become a soul master.
If a commoner wants to stand up, the best way is to have a soul master in his family. As long as he has a soul master, he has crossed a level.
"Little friend, what's your name?"
Hearing Zhongli's rich and secure voice made the boy feel warm all over. He blinked and said, "Sir, my name is Wang Goudan..."
Zhongli: "..."
Almost, almost!
Just a little bit away, Zhongli broke through the defense!
It was actually this name... Taking a deep breath, Zhongli calmed down.
"king……"
"Hmm~"
Zhongli was about to call out Wang Goudan, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
"Sir, you are ridiculous. We are not very educated. My name is Wang Mazi. His father Wang Tiezhu passed away early, so I gave him this name."
"Sir, you look like a knowledgeable nobleman. How about you give Goudan a name?"
Wang Mazi asked tentatively. People in the village only had smooth names, but they also had more bizarre names.
Anyway, everyone is used to it.
However, it would be nice to have a better name.
After hearing this, he looked at the expectant expressions of the old man and the young man. Finally, Zhongli nodded.
The matter of naming is neither big nor small.
"Zhongli, you have so much knowledge, and now it finally comes in handy!"
"I heard that Mandrill was also named by you, right?"
Paimon flew next to Zhongli at this time and smiled.
Zhongli turned his head and glanced at Paimon.
In fact, many of his old friends were named after him.
Whenever someone among them died, his heart seemed to be blocked by something...
"That's what happened."
Zhongli nodded and did not continue talking about it.
Although this world is not worn out, my heart still hurts!
"Hey~"
After a long while, Zhongli finally said: "My little friend, your surname is Wang, how about I give you a single name of Chen?"
"Wang Chen, the Chen of the sun, moon and stars."
Most people can't suppress this word, but this child may not.
"Wang Chen?"
After hearing this name, the young man's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "Thank you, sir, my name will be Wang Chen from now on!"
Chen, which means dragon, soars into the sky.
Born in the darkest corner under the stars, you will definitely overcome obstacles...
"Little friend Wang Chen, do you have any dreams?"
"dream?"
"I, I have no soul power, and my martial spirit is even more useless..."
Wang Chen lowered his head, as if accepting his fate.
This is what Douluo Continent is like. If you have innate soul power, even if you are only at the first level, you can still have dreams. As long as you become a soul master, most dreams can be realized.
Zhong Li nodded thoughtfully and did not continue to ask.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, there is Wang Chen, old man, and Paimon and I never eat food that comes from outside."
Paimon: "???"
"Now that I have nothing to gain, let me use this piece of amber to pay for this meal."
After Zhongli said this, he took out an amber "glass bead" from somewhere and placed it on the somewhat damaged table.
"Need not……"
"You two, we have something urgent to do, take your leave!"
Before Wang Mazi and Wang Chen could react, Zhongli winked at Paimeng and they left directly.
"???"
After Wang Mazi and Wang Chen came to their senses, they looked at the gems on the table. Even though they had never seen this thing before, judging from its appearance, this thing was definitely not an ordinary thing!
