Chapter 4: The Sword King Tavern
Next, Xia Chen seriously practiced this set of 'basic fighting techniques' that he 'stole' learned, the muscles under the sportswear bulged, Xia Chen's every swing was full of a sense of power, and he had been practicing this set of fighting techniques for three years.

As a high school student in the new century, if you don't have talent and want to live well in this world, it means that you need to put in a lot of effort, Xia Chen knows this very well, so since he went to high school, in addition to studying hard, he will also go to work every weekend to earn money to support his family.
The place where he works is a very famous tavern in Chenhua District, this tavern integrates leisure and entertainment, catering, and soldier training, which is very common in the new century, there are many places like this, such as fitness clubs, warrior training halls and the like, these places are patronized by many ordinary people, and there are also many rich and powerful people.
Xia Chen worked here, occasionally watching someone in the tavern compete with each other, or exercise his physique, time was like an arrow, and over time, Xia Chen slowly remembered a kind of fighting technique that most people in the tavern generally practiced, and since the day he learned it, he would come to this abandoned factory every night to practice alone. Occasionally, he even took a certain amount of time to compete with some people in the tavern and practice his skills.
The top of the entire abandoned factory resounded with the sound of Xia Chen's shouting, as well as the whirring sound caused by Xia Chen's every swing of his body when he practiced basic martial arts.
It was only after an hour that Xia Chen's movements slowly stopped.
Xia Chen's face was flushed, panting, sweating like rain, the whole sportswear was soaked, and after resting for a while, Xia Chen came to a place on the top of the abandoned factory where a lot of debris was piled up.
Where there is not only a lot of waste piled up, but also a dilapidated house, Xia Chen walked directly in, although it is very dirty, but under Xia Chen's occasional cleaning, there is no dust.
There was a place in the room that was shrouded in a large leather cloth cover, and the covered leather cloth cover seemed very bulging, and at first glance it was clear that there were many things.
Xia Chen grabbed one end of the leather cover and pulled it violently, and the things shrouded in the leather cover were able to see the light of day again.
It was some very strange parts, big and small, that looked like they had been picked up from a garbage dump.
In the center of the pile of parts, there is also a metal box, about 30 centimeters long and 10 centimeters short.
Xia Chen carefully took out the iron box from the center of the pile of parts, then took out a small key from his body, aimed at the hole in the front of the iron box and inserted it, twisted it slightly, and with a soft 'click', the box automatically popped open.
Xia Chen lifted the lid of the box and took out a strange glove-like item from the box, the glove was made of metal as a whole, but the style was very strange, the whole was a glove-like appearance, inlaid with pieces of steel on it, and five sharp tips were also installed at the five fingers, as if they were assembled into a glove-like one.
And this is indeed the case, this glove was a scrapped component-type armor wreckage that Xia Chen accidentally picked up in the garbage dump, and was brought back here by Xia Chen, and then picked up some scrapped or unwanted parts, and slowly assembled it into this shape.
The method of assembling armor parts was learned by Xia Chen from a book "Detailed Explanation of Basic Component Armor Construction".
After Xia Chen's unremitting efforts and learning, and after spending a lot of time and endless attempts, this arm armor finally took shape, and I believe that as long as you work harder and make the final improvement, a complete, usable part arm armor will be freshly baked!
A flash of excitement flashed in Xia Chen's eyes, this is a component-type armor! It is one of the things that every hot-blooded man with dreams wants to get in his dreams!
Even if it's the lowest-level arm armor, it's not something that ordinary people can get, it's exclusive to armored warriors! Moreover, Xia Chen had heard Wei Nan say that he and his brother had gone to an underground black market before, and in the black market, all the cheapest component-type armor also cost 200,000 Huaxia coins!
And Xia Chen's parents Xia Jun and Shan Lingmei's monthly salary adds up to only a little more than 5,000 Huaxia coins, and the annual salary is only 60,000 Huaxia yuan, except for the needs of family life, there is not much money left, if calculated according to the price of the cheapest component-type armor, Xia Chen's parents are only afraid that they will have to struggle for half a lifetime to save money before they can go to the underground black market to buy the cheapest part-type armor!
However, is the underground black market something that ordinary people like them can enter?
Next, Xia Chen put aside this arm armor that had begun to take shape, and he began to tinker with the pile of parts, the general structure of this arm armor has been perfected by Xia Chen, and only one more arm armor center is left, so that he can try to use the latest energy crystallization in the new century, 'electric crystal' to urge it!
'Electrocrystal', one of the greatest inventions of transbase technology.
However, the arm armor center needs a center mixed with biological metals, but biological metals belong to national strategic materials, and they cannot be obtained without special channels, and now Xia Chen is worried about this, he doesn't know where to get biological metals, and some underground black markets must have them, but Xia Chen doesn't know how to get in.
So I had to try to see if I could replace the role of biological metals with other metals, but until today, Xia Chen has still not succeeded.
After tinkering for a while, Xia Chen walked over with a piece of arm armor that he had made of other ordinary steel materials, picked up the arm armor, put it in, and took out a piece of 'electrocrystal' that he bought with the money he earned from his part-time job, and put it into the power trough.
"This is the toughest metal I've ever found, and hopefully it works, even a little bit!"
Xia Chen prayed, then put this armarmor on his right arm, activated the switch inside the armarm, only to hear the sound of metal colliding as if countless gears were turning from inside the armarm, and then the surface of the armarm was suddenly covered with countless red circuits, shining.
A flash of joy flashed in Xia Chen's eyes, and then he walked out, found an open place on the top of the abandoned factory, clenched his right hand into a fist, and slammed it into the ground.
Red light and shadow burst into flames!
"Boom!"
A dull explosion sounded, rubble splattered everywhere, a gray mist was hazy, and countless dust accumulated on the top of the abandoned factory was sprinkled all over the top of the abandoned factory under the huge vibration!
"Ahem!"
Xia Chen, who was wrapped in gravel and dust, rushed out, and the tears and snot stimulated by the dust powder almost didn't come out.
When the dust cleared, a small crater with a radius of about fifty centimeters was left in place, and there were fine cracks around the pothole, showing how powerful the damage caused by Xia Chen's blow just now!
Looking at the blow he had just made, Xia Chen showed a satisfied look, but he looked at the armarmor on his right arm again, revealing a hint of disappointment.
At this time, the armarmor on Xia Chen's right arm had returned to its original state, without the sound of mechanical operation, and without red lines, as if it had lost all its kinetic energy at once because of the blow just now.
Xia Chen took out the electrocrystalline in the power slot, pressed it a few times on the smart bracelet in his left hand, and scanned the electrocrystal, and a set of information was immediately displayed on the smart bracelet:
"Electrocrystalline power consumption: 37%, electrocrystalline residual electricity: 63%"
Sure enough, the power of the electrocrystalline has not been exhausted, and there is no problem with the kinetic energy, so the problem can only be the center of the arm armor.
Xia Chen took off the center of his arm armor and grabbed it in his hand, just wanting to take a closer look, but the center made a 'click' and shattered into a pile of charred black fragments and sprinkled all over the ground.
"It's still that the quality of the central metal is too poor, and it can't drive the operation of the arm armor at all, alas."
Xia Chen sighed, quite helpless, although the arm armor was repaired by his luck with the wreckage, but the arm armor center is not good, if you want to use this arm armor in the future, you must carry the 'inferior' arm armor center that was scrapped once just now, which is extremely troublesome.
Then, Xia Chen carefully put the arm armor, and then took the time to make three pieces of inferior arm armor center and arm armor together, and then covered the box and some other parts under the leather cloth cover again.
The abandoned factory is inaccessible, and there is no accurate news about the government's construction recently, and no one will be bored and think that there are any good things to check here, so Xia Chen is not worried about the loss of his arm armor, this is the best place to hide the arm armor, Xia Chen doesn't want to tell his family about the arm armor for the time being.
Look at the time on the smart watch, it's already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and you have to go home, otherwise the family will be worried.
Xia Chen rushed out of the abandoned factory at a speed of 100 meters and rushed in the direction of his home.
In the new century, martial arts are prevalent in human society, both men and women, young and old like to exercise, and young people can be seen everywhere on the street doing difficult movements, so Xia Chen is not afraid of what strange eyes he will attract when he runs on the street.
Back at home, Xia Chen's parents Xia Jun and Shan Lingmei were still sitting in the living room, and their sister was not there, so they should have gone to sleep.
"I'm back." Xia Jun looked at his son and smiled.
"Hmm." Xia Chen nodded.
"Okay, Xiaochen, go to sleep, your sister has already gone to sleep, and your father and I will go to bed immediately." Shan Lingmei watched her son go home safe and sound, and urged Xia Chen to go back to the room to rest quickly.
"Okay, I'll go to sleep, Dad, Mom, good night." After washing up, Xia Chen returned to his room to sleep.
The next day, Xia Chen got up early, and before dawn he got up and started washing.
Because today is the weekend, it is the day of Xia Chen's part-time job, in the past, Xia Chen would go to the tavern to work on Saturday and Sunday, but because the college entrance examination is approaching recently, the school only has one day off a week, so Xia Chen has to change to work every Sunday.
After washing, making four simple breakfasts, eating one for himself, and then leaving a note, Xia Chen went out and rushed towards the tavern.
On the way to the tavern, Xia Chen still ran at a speed of 100 meters sprint, because Xia Chen felt that cultivation should start from the bits and pieces of life, and he should turn a part of life into a part of cultivation, and even turn it into a real energy!
Xia Chen, who was in a hurry, came to the door of the tavern where he worked after a quarter of an hour.
Sword King Tavern!
Four domineering artistic fonts stand in front of the door of the tavern, and the name of the tavern where Xia Chen works is called the Sword King Tavern.
This tavern is very large, and the five-star hotel in the old century is nothing more than that, Xia Chen has heard that this tavern is actually an industry under the name of a war king, and he doesn't know if it's true or not.
