Chapter 16 Fuwei Dart Bureau
"Pa..." There was a slight explosion, and the wooden sections standing on the pier were completely separated and fell to both sides. Before they landed, Luo Yuchen's wrists gently turned and picked up the two pieces of firewood again. The left hand grabbed half of it, and under the "sticky" formula of the firewood knife in the right hand, the other piece of firewood was directly and steadily erected on the pier.
Luo Yuchen's right hand drew a semicircle and cut it straight down. In the extremely secret and high-speed tremor, the sharp firewood knife evenly split the half of the firewood evenly without encountering decent resistance. With a horizontal knife, he swept the chopped firewood aside. Luo Yuchen's left hand had sent the remaining piece of firewood to the mutter and put it on...
In such a fast-paced movement like a dance, the firewood piled under the eaves is rapidly decreasing, while the pile of chopped firewood at Luo Yuchen's hand is increasing rapidly. So, two hours later, when it was time for acceptance, the stewor who released the task was shocked by the pile of firewood almost one person in front of him: "This, did you split it all by yourself? In just two hours, you have chop down so much wood?"
"It's natural. You just gave me a penny. Can I still hire others at a lower price than this?" Luo Yuchen's words were thorny, but the steward Hu was as if he hadn't heard of it. He bent down and rowed in the high pile of firewood for a while, and soon stood up with four pieces of chopped wood. Then, he put his hands together and put the four pieces of firewood together. If you don't look closely, you can't see those tiny gaps at all.
"Kid, what kind of knife is this? How can you be so sharp?" He shrugged his shoulders slightly and completely ignored the eyes of the tall and thin stewer Hu. Luo Yuchen replied casually, "How to cut wood, what else can it be?" Luo Yuchen didn't want to offend the NPC steward who specializes in distributing life tasks to players, so he saw that he reached out to get a piece of firewood and split it into four pieces in front of Hu's steward...
"Kid, your name is Luo Wufeng, right? How about it? Do you want to learn the knife method? From the "performance" just now, Manager Hu has seen that Luo Yuchen has indeed not learned any decent knife skills, and the wonderful knife technique seems to be completely to adapt to the texture of wood, so as to cut wood faster and better. Therefore, the name of "firewood cutting method" does not seem to be nonsense. However, after seeing such a situation, steward Hu's expression was no longer surprised, but fanatical: "It's not me bragging. In today's rivers and lakes, there is no master who uses knives that I don't know. If you are..."
"I only like swordsmanship, and I'm not interested in swordsmanship!" Luo Yuchen's face was very calm, but his eyes were as firm as nails, which naturally made people feel his belief. Seeing this, the anger of being rejected by Hu dissipated directly before it took shape: "In this case, forget it! Let's settle the reward for cuttering firewood.
A moment later, Luo Yuchen came out of the firewood room with Manager Hu, which made many players who had just seen the ruthless cold face of Manager Hu look sideways - of course, if you let them know that Luo Yuchen is not only excellent. After completing the task, they have a good relationship with steward Hu, and they have more than five taels of silver, so I'm afraid they will be more emotional...
(Note: For convenience, regardless of the historical background, the monetary value in Martial Soul World is exactly the same. That is: 1 taels of gold = 10 taels of silver; one taels of silver = 1000 copper coins.)
"Oh, I'm exhausted!" As soon as he entered the canteen, Luo Yuchen heard the exaggerated shout of the little fat man Zhou Huan: "I really don't understand. This martial arts school is so big, and there are not many people. Why do you need to use so much water? From eight o'clock to now, for four hours, the five of us have picked at least dozens of cylinders, but I didn't expect that the NPC steward was still dissatisfied and threatened us that if we were lazy like this tomorrow, we would not be fed..."
"Brother Zhou, it's okay on your side. You were only scolded for a while at the last minute, but on our side, the person in charge of cleaning the room is miserable. The old man Hu has been following us all the time, not saying anything, and often scolding a few words. One morning, I don't know what happened. How did you get through it..."
"I feel the same way. The owner of this martial arts school is really good at using people. He is clearly a 'cold-faced supervisor'! Oh, by the way, Brother Wufeng, I really wanted to see you talking and laughing with the stew manager just now. How did you deal with him? Introduce some experience to your brothers..."
"Ha ha, as you have said, the old man is a cold-faced supervisor. In addition to doing a good job well, is there any special way to pass the test?" Luo Yuchen shook his head with a smile, "I'm just chop wood very fast."
Such an answer obviously does not satisfy the players who inquired. Several players showed disappointment on their faces. Zhou Huan saw this and quickly took over the words: "That's right. Everyone has been staying in this martial arts school since they entered the game. They have nothing and don't even have a penny, even if they can find that Hu. I'm afraid there is no way to put the weakness of the stewor into action. Therefore, I decided to go out after lunch. Maybe I can take some tasks to earn some pocket money. Are you interested in going together?
"Okay, anyway, there is nothing to do in the afternoon. Even if you can't find a task, just think of it as opening a map. By the way, you can also enjoy the ancient city scenery..." Most of the players are idle, especially the ** that is "maybe you can take over the task". Most people are immediately moved, but for a moment More than a dozen players were divided into four teams, each of whom chose a direction and planned the route of "Exploring the Map". After a hurried lunch, the group set off separately...
Together with Zhou Huan, they are naturally players in the same dormitory. There are a total of five people, which is the largest team, so they also chose the most prosperous and complex urban direction. While walking, I enjoyed the original scenery of the ancient city. At the same time, several people are also paying close attention to the surrounding special buildings, such as medicine shops, blacksmith shops, inns, martial arts halls and other places that may be dealt with in the future.
In the pointing points, countless information flows generally gathered to a player named "Zheng Wen" who is good at drawing, and then marked it on a simple map. Unconsciously, several people passed through half of Fuzhou City and entered the most lively central area.
"Oh, look over there!" In Zhou Huan's tone, he was as happy as if he had found a treasure. Several players raised their heads and looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a magnificent courtyard at the end of his sight: at first glance, the most conspicuous were two tall red paint gates, and the copper nails the size of a teacup on the door were shining.
On both sides of the gate are two thick stone altars. In each of the stone altar, there is a flagpole two feet high. The blue flag flutters at the top of the flagpole, and the yellow silk thread on the right flag is embroidered with a male lion with its teeth and claws. The flag flutters with the wind, making the male lions look more vigorous. On the top of the lion, there is a pair of bats embroidered with black silk thread flying. The left flag is embroidered with four black characters of "Fuwei Dart Bureau", silver hook and iron strokes, which are extremely strong!
"Fuwei Dart Bureau?" Seeing this familiar name, several people's eyes lit up. After looking at each other, the five people walked straight there...
"All right, all right, young heroes, if you're okay, please go ahead. Don't block our darts bureau to do business!" A moment later, the five players came out in the impatient complaints of the doorman in charge of the reception.
However, although they can't even enter the gate, these players have almost understood what they are interested in: "Fuwei Dart Bureau, the general bodyguard is called Lin Zhennan, and there is an only son named Lin Pingzhi. This is definitely not wrong. It must be the Fuwei Dart Bureau in the novel!"
"That's good. I didn't expect to wander around. I really caught a big fish! However, should the location of the 'Fuwei Dart Bureau' be marked on the map? Zhou Huan pondered for a moment and nodded, "Let's mark it. After all, it's not too far from the martial arts school. We can't block this news. It's better to sit on the ground and use the information of the Fuwei Dart Bureau to increase the value of our map!"
"All right!" Zheng Wen marked the current position, and then added a small line of words under the four words "Fuwei Dart Bureau": "It has been confirmed that it is the Fuwei Dart Bureau in the novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu"!" Then he looked up and asked, "What are we going to do next, continue to walk or go home?"
"I think we'd better go back first. It's not early now." After listening to Zhou Huan's words, the four of them nodded with approval: "Yes, we just know a little more information than others now. We still need to practice harder to turn it into a real advantage..."
The plan had been agreed, and the five people also changed their direction and walked back in the direction of the martial arts hall. However, as soon as he walked out and turned a corner, several people found that the street in front of him had been tightly blocked by countless pedestrians: "Well, why are there so many people in front of you?"
It was so easy to squeeze to the front and look inside. Several players' faces became a little strange: in the huge circle surrounded by the crowd, there were only seven or eight people, a woman in red. At this time, she was blushing and hiding behind a decaying old man, while in front of the old man was a man in brocade, and the rest Several of them are dressed as servants. Obviously, they are the followers of the brocade.
