Chapter 371 I won’t be fooled again
At this moment, Zhou Xu’s state seemed to Wang Dong to be that of some fanatical scientific researcher.
This is the state they are in when they achieve a breakthrough in their research.
The powerful desire for knowledge almost overflowed from him.
After his emotions calmed down slightly, Zhou Xu, who realized that he had lost his composure, couldn't help but let out two dry coughs.
"Let's get down to business. I will try to give you this mantra combination later. Just relax and follow my instructions."
While speaking, Zhou Xu began to concentrate and wanted to try Let's see if we can get a 'copy' for Wang Dong.
Although the previous analysis and speculation were sound, Zhou Xu was actually mentally prepared for failure.
But the whole process was surprisingly smooth.
Zhou Xu clearly felt that the 'primary weapon blessing' that existed in his consciousness followed his will and slowly formed a copy, and then followed the guidance of his own strength and left his body. Emerging in the palm of his hand.
This point cannot be achieved directly even with his serious mantras. It must be done with the help of 'given' mantras.
Looking at this light group visible to the naked eye, Wang Dong was amazed.
Although he had heard about this mantra from Zhou Xu, this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.
"Okay, just reach out and touch it."
Wang Dong nodded after hearing this, and then stretched out his hand towards the mantra light ball.
The moment Wang Dong's fingertips touched the light group, the mantra light group immediately turned into a stream of energy and poured into Wang Dong's body.
That feeling can be said to be quite wonderful, and Wang Dong, who felt it for the first time, had a flash of surprise on his face.
"How is it? The pronunciation and recitation of the mantra should have appeared in your mind. You can try to recite it."
After successfully applying the 'Elementary Weapon Blessing' After the copy was handed over to Wang Dong, Zhou Xu's entire state became relaxed and happy.
In his opinion, the most troublesome thing has been solved. Isn’t the next thing easy to handle?
Who would have thought that Wang Dong, who followed his instructions and tried to pronounce this mantra, started to stutter as soon as he pronounced two tones, and it felt like his tongue was about to get knotted.
This situation immediately confused Zhou Xu.
"What's going on? Don't you know how to read it?"
"..."
Zhou Xu's incredible look clearly meant that he couldn't be fooled. Got it.
"Chief, this mantra is extremely hard to pronounce. I'm just a Chinese teacher teaching in junior high schools, and I'm not a language genius. How can I know it right away?"
"..."
Listen to Wang. Zhou Xu suddenly felt a little embarrassed after Dong's words.
Looking at their leader's appearance, combined with the other's incredible reaction before, Wang Dong couldn't help but let out a breath of cold air.
“Can it be said that...”
"That's it."
Zhou Xu nodded innocently.
"Is it difficult to just recite it again?"
"..."
At this moment, Wang Dong's mood was very complicated.
He had never felt that their leader was so incompetent!
After maintaining that innocent state for a few seconds, Zhou Xu couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Hearing this, Wang Dong was stunned for a moment and then started laughing.
"So, leader, you were teasing me on purpose before, right? How could you master such a difficult mantra as soon as you get started?"
"Ah no, this is true, I will know it as soon as I get up." In response, Wang Dong had an expression of "I won't be fooled again".
But looking at Zhou Xu's serious expression, the smile gradually disappeared from his face.
“Isn’t it?”
“Yes.”
"..."
At this moment, he was silent.
Zhou Xu spread his hands.
“But thanks to you, I have now confirmed one thing, that is, my ability to directly grasp the chanting of the mantra has nothing to do with the system. I thought it was the system’s credit at first. .”
“……”
Although he said words of thanks, for some reason, Wang Dong always felt like he had been stabbed again, which made him feel very sad.
"Anyway, practice more when you have time."
"Understood."
"There are also things about the prairie elves, which I told you before , there will be another sericulture farm here in Yanhu Village, responsible for obtaining silk and spinning silk."
After casually talking about the truth, Zhou Xu quickly turned to talk about development. On business.
"You are nominally the director of the factory, so keep an eye on me more."
"Understood."
"Okay, I have something else to do, so I won't stay here any longer."
< br>Although it was already afternoon, there were at least three hours until dark, and Zhou Xu had no intention of just passing by.
According to the next arrangement, he planned to go to Tieshan Village.
Rushing from Salt Lake Village to the foot of Barren Mountain, even if he galloped all the way, he wouldn't be able to get there in one day. He would have to spend the night outside, and there was no need for him to rest in Salt Lake Village all night and wait until tomorrow morning. Set off again.
At the same time, in a camp deep in the mountains, Shi Lei, who had just finished counting the prisoners, walked up to the soldiers with a smile on his face.
"Li Tie!"
"Arrived!"
Hearing Shi Lei call his name, Hongshi stepped forward with a slight excitement.
Li Tie was the name he changed for himself. The more he came into contact with other soldiers, the more Hongshi felt that his previous name was too casual and not loud enough.
During the period, he also learned from the chats of other soldiers that the red stones near their tribe were an ore called 'iron'.
The swords made of iron are not only tougher than the copper swords in their hands, but also extremely sharp.
But unfortunately, there are currently very few in number, and only their immediate boss, Lieutenant Shi Lei, has them.
So Hongshi simply changed his name to Li Tie!
Taking the new name, he ran to Shi Lei to apply for approval, and Shi Lei happily agreed and approved the new name 'Li Tie'.
“Congratulations, including today’s recruitment operation, the merits you have accumulated have completely offset your original sentence. From this moment on, you have officially got rid of your hard labor status and become a citizen of our Great Zhou Dynasty. ."
"Thank you, sir!"
"Thank you, the chief, for giving you this opportunity. I just followed the chief's instructions."
" Yes! Thank you, Chief!”
Although he had somewhat anticipated what would happen this time, the moment he officially learned the news from Shi Lei, Li Tie could not control his excitement.
During this period, the comrades around him who had not yet gained enough credit to obtain citizenship all cast envious glances at him.
Compared with them, the treatment of the citizens of Da Zhou can be said to be as good as the sky.
In the process of envy, they also secretly vowed in their hearts that they must work harder to establish military merit and obtain citizenship.
