Chapter 11 Promotion
"Money."
Song Changming shook his head. Maybe he had to find other ways to make money. It was not a problem to be so poor all the time.
Before, he was weak and couldn't do much. Now that he has a certain ability to protect himself, it's time to broaden his horizons.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time, opportunities will always appear." Song Changming said to himself.
He has a long lifespan, long enough for him to wait for various opportunities to appear and profit from them.
[Today’s evaluation: A small and meaningful day, life span +3, obtain the limited-time status ‘concentrate’]
As soon as the morning passed, Song Changming stopped practicing his sword and looked at today's evaluation prompts. Sure enough, his limited-time status had dropped.
He basically didn't go to work today, and he didn't have enough time to practice swordsmanship. The change in status was also expected.
By the way, I checked the progress of my knife skills again.
[Soul-Severing Knife: Xiao Cheng (72/2000)]
If Xiao Chengjing wants to continue to improve, the difficulty will double again. The progress bar of two thousand points seems to be far away.
But in fact, Song Changming estimated that as long as he didn't lie flat for a long time and kept practicing diligently, it would take more than a year to complete this wave of progress accumulation.
This speed of practicing swordsmanship is extremely fast, and he is very satisfied with it.
Practicing diligently all the time does not mean practicing diligently every day.
He now has his own set of life rules. Generally speaking, every ten days, there will be three days of concentration and five days of God's reward to ensure the progress of sword practice.
In addition, there will be two days of lying down, resting and relaxing, while also ensuring the continuous growth of life span, no matter what, it is not a loss.
Sometimes when he is tired, the number of days he lies down will increase appropriately, but overall he is still quite self-disciplined.
The next day, Song Changming put on a patrol officer's uniform and a new knife at his waist, and went straight out to start his first day of duty.
The neighbors who got up early were surprised when they saw this scene.
"The children of the old Song family have become patrollers?!"
"Hey, what happened at that time, why haven't you heard the couple mention it?"
"It probably only happened in the past two days. This morning I saw Mr. Song going out in his patrol uniform."
"Tsk tsk, Mr. Song is not yet twenty. He has become a patrolman at such a young age. His future is limitless. If I had known better, I should have proposed to our girl beforehand."
"It's not too late to go now. For such a good young man, I'm afraid there will be a lot of matchmakers coming to our door in the future."
"What I'm saying is, let's go for a walk. Prepare some free-range eggs and some meat to congratulate the old Song family."
Neighbors whispered, and soon the news about Song Changming becoming a patrolman spread.
For a time, the small threshold of the Song family became lively.
Song Changming, who had already gone out, didn't know this. He had already walked to the Patrol Department of Houli Street.
Although he has been to this place where he works countless times in the past two years.
Only this time, his identity is different.
When other patrols passed by him along the way, they seemed to think that Song Changming was young and unfamiliar, so they looked sideways and were no longer ignored as before.
"Huh?" In the patrol department, Zhao Huaiming, who was about to go out for a routine patrol, suddenly caught a glimpse of Song Changming and couldn't help but look surprised.
"Changming?"
"Brother-in-law." Song Changming was called out and couldn't help but stop when he saw it was Zhao Huaiming.
"What's wrong with you?" Although Zhao Huaiming was also on duty in the Patrol Division of Houli Street, it was obvious that what happened yesterday had not spread in the Patrol Division, and he did not know why Song Changming suddenly became a patrol officer. Song Changming only said that he was promoted by Liang Chuanshan and didn't say much.
He actually didn't have a bad impression of this brother-in-law who married his third sister.
The other party and the third sister Song Yu themselves have a foundation of affection, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are in love with each other.
Zhao Huaiming even resisted the tremendous pressure from his family in order to marry Song Yu.
What he has done in the past two years has also proved that this brother-in-law treats his third sister sincerely and takes good care of their family. It is difficult to be annoying.
"Okay, if Yu'er knows about this, she will definitely be very happy, and she will probably blame you, why didn't you congratulate her earlier." After hearing this, Zhao Huaiming couldn't help laughing.
"Then I need to trouble my brother-in-law to help me convey it. I just started working today and I haven't had time to inform my sister yet," Song Changming said.
"It's a small matter, let's have wine together some other time." Zhao Huaiming patted Song Changming on the shoulder, smiled gently, and said a few more words of encouragement before leaving.
On the other side, Zhao Dezhi met Liang Chuanshan.
"Brother Zhao, what are you doing so early in the morning?" Liang Chuanshan stood up and said with a smile.
He doesn't get along with Sun Wenyan, and his relationship with Zhao Dezhi is usually pretty good.
"I heard that you promoted a night watchman?" Zhao Dezhi got straight to the point and asked.
Liang Chuanshan was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "What do I think it is? What? Brother Zhao also wants to steal someone from me?"
"Robbing people?" Zhao Dezhi frowned slightly, hesitated, and then said: "Brother Liang, you and I have a good relationship. There is no need to promote the boy named Song because of my relationship."
Liang Chuanshan was a little confused now, "What does Brother Zhao mean by this?"
"Didn't Brother Liang make this decision because of the in-law relationship between that boy and my Zhao family?" Zhao Dezhi couldn't help but explain when he saw Liang Chuanshan's confused look.
"I have never heard him or Brother Zhao mention this." Liang Chuanshan shook his head.
"This promotion is mainly due to Song Changming's great achievements. He killed the bandit leader Chen Beihu on the street. His sword skills are very good and he is worthy of promotion. He has little to do with Brother Zhao. It is purely because I like him."
"Kill Chen Beihu? Just because of that boy from the Song family?" Zhao Dezhi saw that what Liang Chuanshan said didn't sound like a joke, but he still couldn't believe it.
Still good at swordsmanship?
How could a boy from the Song family, who came from a poor family, be so good at swordsmanship?
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Did Brother Liang make a mistake, or was he deceived by that kid?" Zhao Dezhi couldn't help but question.
This immediately made Liang Chuanshan unhappy and he said.
"I don't like to hear what Brother Zhao said. No matter how blind I am, with this fact in front of me, how can something witnessed by so many people on the street be false?
And afterwards I also let Lu Gang compete with Chang Ming, and his sword skills have reached a small level. If he hadn't practiced body training and lacked actual combat experience, I'm afraid Lu Gang wouldn't be his opponent!
Brother Zhao, you should understand what this means. You are so young and have already achieved great results in swordsmanship. This qualification is not comparable to that of ordinary people! "
"."
Coming out of Liang Chuanshan, Zhao Dezhi had a complicated expression on his face.
In the past, Song Changming, who worked in the Patrol Division, was basically regarded as transparent by him, and he never had the idea of taking care of anything.
He had even become furious when Zhao Huaiming secretly helped the Song family and brought Song Changming into the patrol department as a night watchman.
In his opinion, this was something that was detrimental to the Zhao family and his face, and had no value or reward at all. How could he not be angry.
But now, the development of the situation is somewhat beyond his expectation.
The development trajectory of the last child of the Song family seemed to be unusual.
A small success in your sword skills!
This achievement alone was enough to attract his attention.
"Hmph, I never thought that valuables could be found in the garbage." Zhao Dezhi snorted, and left with a straight face as usual, leading his patrols.
