In the third week of November, Xu Ran still stayed in the novice village and worked part-time to earn game currency. According to Yun Zhongyue's experience outside Ping'an Town, combined with the situation that the personal information of "Blowing Snow" at that time showed that he still had the advanced technique of "Running Thunder Thorn", Xu Ran decided that when he left the novice village, he would have to learn to master at least one advanced technique of cold weapons, in case of emergency.

This week, every time Xu Ran logged in to the game, he still went to the spiritual thorn practice room first, practiced the spirit thorn, and after practicing the spirit thorn, he no longer went to herd sheep, but went to the blacksmith shop twice a day to strike iron, so as to speed up the efficiency of earning game currency. On Tuesday afternoon, when Xu Ran logged on to the dream game, his personal information changed again: mental power 12 (originally 11); Strength: 15; Stamina: 15; HP: 120. In this situation, every time Xu Ran entered the practice room, he could have two chances to launch a spirit thorn; Of course, he would not let go of such a rare opportunity to practice sending out spiritual stabs; Every time you enter the dream game, you will first enter the spiritual stabbing practice room, and practice until the mental power value is reduced from 12 to 10 and then go to the iron. This week, the preparation time for Xu Ran's first spiritual thorn is about 10 seconds at the fastest, and the time interval between the second launch of the spiritual thorn and the first spiritual thorn is about three minutes at the beginning, and it only takes 1 minute by the weekend. Xu Ran's iron-striking work is now easy to deal with, although he is iron-striking twice a day, and he doesn't feel tired after the game.

This week, Xu Ran made a profit of 42 silver coins, and practiced the spirit thorn to pay 28 copper coins, as of Sunday (that is, November 22), Xu Ran's personal game currency total: 21 gold coins, 3 silver coins and 3 copper coins. The decoration project Xu Ran had at hand was delivered this Friday, and the relevant delivery materials were also sorted out on Saturday and Sunday; I no longer need to go to work in Wang Jie's decoration company next week, which is an official resignation. On Sunday night, Wang Jie called all the employees of the company and gave Xu Ran a farewell dinner. The people in the company were reluctant to give up on Xu Ran's departure; In particular, several female comrades said to Xu Ran: "If you are not satisfied with the development outside, then return to the company, and everyone will continue to be colleagues." ”

After Xu Ran's video became famous on the Internet, some people also did a doxing search for Xu Ran; Xu Ran usually behaves and seems unassuming, and he is full of righteous indignation when he sees Lu Lu that day, when he is not the same as when he usually treats people and things, some people who know him feel like him but dare not confirm it, and when he asks him, he says no; Their colleagues in the decoration company believed that it must be him, especially a few colleagues who witnessed it at the time and the last time he used force, Xu Ran's style in the video was obviously the same as that time. But since he doesn't want to admit it, everyone won't go out and talk nonsense to the media.

At the cocktail party, a few female colleagues praised him for this, saying that he did a good job; He also forced him to talk about what happened at that time and when he went to the police station later, Xu Ran told everyone a summary, and at the same time hoped that everyone would not go out and talk about it everywhere, he didn't want himself to become famous because of this incident. For the four strong men who were so neat that day, Xu Ran thought about it afterwards and felt that the movements were particularly clean and neat. The reason for this is of course related to himself and learning advanced martial arts, but Xu Ran feels that it should also have a lot to do with the improvement of his spiritual strength. At that time, I was just using my body's intuition to do it, and the purpose was to defeat all those strong men; In hindsight, I thought about the reaction of my brain at that time, it was very quick and decisive, and my judgment of the situation around me was quite accurate and meticulous; In the process of knocking down several people on the other side and knocking them down, the parts of each move and the effect produced seem to have been predicted in advance according to the actual situation at the time; And the final result is the same as my prediction.

Just like in the hands-on process, every action and the results that can be produced by yourself have been given an optimized plan in advance in the brain at any time and in combination with the changes in the situation on the spot, and you only need to follow your intuition and implement the optimization plan in accordance with it. The last time he was in the hotel, when he beat the three men who borrowed wine to find trouble, but he didn't have it, the last time his own ability, although he also won the three men, but the result of the victory, the brain was not very clear, when he hit the opponent, he also needed to decide whether he needed to hit the second or even the third time according to the opponent's confrontation state; And this time, when he hit his opponent, his brain had clearly judged whether he needed to bother to make up for the second move, and how to make up for it, and the next second move. Xu Ran felt that in this case, it should be his brain thinking and more agile; The CPU similar to the brain is accelerated, and the computing speed is naturally accelerated; Therefore, it is more efficient to deal with things.

Xu Ran talked about this phenomenon and thoughts with Kong Xiuying in QQ's private chat; Kong Xiuying thinks that if he just has a quick brain and can't keep up with his body movements, he may not have such a precise effect; Kong Xiuying also watched the video at that time, and Kong Xiuying thought that Xu Ran's body movements and reactions were also very agile and coordinated; I don't know if it's due to the increase in mental power, which also increases the reaction speed of the nervous system. Two days ago, Xu Ran also discovered a phenomenon that his hearing has also improved; At that time, he was in the dormitory, cutting his nails, and occasionally found that the nail fragments cut off and the sound made when they hit the ground were very clear to him, and he really hadn't noticed that the nail fragments could still make such a clear sound after they landed; Not only did he hear the sound, but he could immediately see the nail fragments that had fallen to the ground; This shows that his ability to accurately locate according to his voice is also very strong.

In the first few days of the week, Xu Ran learned a little bit on the Internet, the knowledge of jewelry antiques, and also learned some knowledge of jade jewelry, he had never cared about these things before, after these few days of learning and understanding, he really learned a lot of conceptual knowledge, which is considered to have some knowledge of jade jewelry; On Saturday and Sunday mornings, Xu Ran went to the city's antique markets and visited a few shops, all of which were antique shops such as jewelry and jade.

Xu Ran chose to go to the antique shop to hunt for treasures because he found that many modern jade jewelry are not natural, but artificially processed and synthesized through the Internet these days. For this kind of jade material, Xu Ran instinctively felt that the possibility of being able to increase his spiritual power was very slim; Therefore, he thought that if he focused on antiques, the chances of success would be greater, at least the ancients would not be counterfeit in terms of materials. After patronizing a few antique shops, Xu Ran found that he obviously didn't understand the price of the goods inside; Some things that he thought should be very high-end were not sold at a high price, and some things that he thought were in poor condition were sold at prices that he could not imagine; However, the reason here, Xu Ran can understand it if he thinks about it, after all, there is still in it, and the value of the cultural relics themselves is inside, and they can't be priced just by looking at their condition.

Although Xu Ran didn't know how much the real value of these antiques should be worth, he didn't bother about it, because what he cared about was not the historical value of these cultural relics, what he cared about was whether it had the practical value of increasing the value of spiritual power, if it had this function, it would be a priceless treasure for Xu Ran, as long as he could afford it, he would definitely buy it; And the practical value of this aspect will certainly not be clear to the store; So he believes that it is impossible for the store to take advantage of this to dominate himself. Now the key is to see if you can find such an item.

After a one-minute break, the two went on the court and started the second game; This time, Ma Fan did not attack immediately, but changed his posture on the spot, and made a few preparations for his strength, feeling like he was holding his breath in his body.

Shi Qingsheng doesn't know if this belongs to internal strength, he has just set foot in the field of martial arts; When I was in elementary school, I heard of the word "internal strength", but I saw it in martial arts, and I never knew whether it really existed; Shi Qingsheng didn't care about this, he also wanted to see what other tricks Ma Fan had.

Ma Fan moved for 5 or 6 seconds, and then began to face Shi Qingsheng and start to attack; Ma Fan's expression was a little numb or stiff compared to before, and it could be seen that it was a little different from just now; The boxing moves Ma Fan used this time were different from just now. It's different because Ma Fan's boxing moves and Shi Qingsheng can still understand them just now, but the boxing moves he uses now make Shi Qingsheng feel weird; According to Shi Qingsheng's experience, he felt that it was very unreasonable to use his fists like this.

Ma Fan's current fists are bent in front of his face, and the center of his fist is facing his face; The back of the fist is facing outward, the fists are constantly alternating, and the back of the fist is used from the inside to the outside, doing a small slow swing; It feels like there is a drum in front of Ma Fan, and Ma Fan is using the back of his two fists to keep beating this virtual drum with a certain rhythm. Shi Qingsheng had competed with Ma Fan in the fight just now, and knew that Ma Fan was inferior to him; This time, after seeing Ma Fan's change of moves, he waved his fists and walked towards himself; Shi Qingsheng also caught up, his left fist at Ma Fan's face, and made a tentative punch, Shi Qingsheng also calculated, this punch Ma Fan would block, he wanted to see the other party, how to take the move, and then the opportunity to play, his second punch.

To Shi Qingsheng's surprise, Ma Fan did use the back of his right fist to collide with his own fist to block his attacking punch; But the power of this punch is much higher than before, and when the fists of both sides are about to touch, Ma Fan's fist speed has increased significantly; Shi Qingsheng, who was caught off guard, stumbled backwards and almost lost his center of gravity.

Shi Qingsheng hurriedly adjusted his steps backwards, intending to stand firm, he didn't expect Ma Fan's movements, this would be surprisingly fast, while he stepped back, Ma Fan's left foot also took a step forward, and at the same time, the back of his left fist, towards Shi Qingsheng's face, had been knocked rapidly. Shi Qingsheng hurriedly used his right arm, which was originally about to throw a second punch, to block the opponent's attack; Ma Fan's left fist slammed into Shi Qingsheng's right arm, which covered his face, and the surge of strength knocked Shi Qingsheng backwards again.

Shi Qingsheng has not yet gained a firm foothold after the first fist fight just now; can only continue to retreat sharply, in order to find the center of gravity, Ma Fan followed closely with the right step, pinned Shi Qingsheng's backward footsteps, and at the same time turned sideways with the back of his right fist and swept towards Shi Qingsheng's chest rapidly; Shi Qingsheng didn't have time to dodge, so he barely raised his arm to protect his chest and took the blow hard.

Ma Fan's punch is really powerful; In addition, one foot was pinned by Ma Fan, and he could not retreat neatly; Although the blow did not hit the chest directly due to the block of the arm, the force of the blow was borne by the whole body; Shi Qingsheng was hit and took three steps back, but he couldn't get back his center of gravity, and sat down on the ground. Ma Fan didn't, and then attacked. fresh

After Shi Qingsheng got up, he said that he wanted to take a break, and the game was over. gave up this game because Shi Qingsheng didn't know the essentials of Ma Fan's change of tactics and wanted to think about it carefully; He felt that Ma Fan's advantage in this game was that his strength suddenly increased significantly, and the speed of his punches became faster; For the speed of boxing moves, it can be understood that because Ma Fan only uses the upper arm to make punches, the path of force is shorter, and the natural speed will be faster; However, Ma Fan's three consecutive punches and powerful hits, the connection speed between punches and punches is also surprisingly fast, like a one-shot punch; It's not something that can be done easily.

Although Ma Fan's current boxing moves seem simple; But Ma Fan's strength is significantly increased, which makes up for the defects of simple boxing movements; It just happens to be able to highlight the advantages of fast punching, giving full play to the essence of one force and ten meetings, which makes it difficult for people to parry. It wasn't until the third game of the competition and the start time that Shi Qingsheng hadn't come up with an effective coping strategy, and when Shi Qingsheng moved his arms and walked on the court to continue the last game, he realized that his left wrist should have been in the fist with Ma Fan just now.

At this time, Ma Fan was already on the court, and he was swinging his arms and starting to attack; Shi Qingsheng hurriedly gestured to Ma Fan and Liu Jun to ask for a pause, and then told the two that his wrist had been injured and he couldn't compete. Liu Jun was taken aback and looked at Ma Fan in embarrassment; Ma Fan nodded and said, "Since you are injured, don't compare." Liu Jun breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Then this competition is here, and Brother Ma is still a step ahead." ”

After Ma Fan and Shi Qingsheng and changed their clothes before coming out, Liu Jun greeted everyone and said, "I have already booked a restaurant nearby, let's go have a meal together, shall we?" The expression on Ma Fan's face has returned to normal, and he no longer looks as numb and stiff as he was when he was doing the exercises just now, Ma Fan listened to Liu Jun's invitation and said: "Okay, I just want to get acquainted with it together, I am also a friend with martial arts." ”

The restaurant that Liu Jun booked was not far from the martial arts hall, Liu Jun didn't know if Ma Fan would go to eat together, but he didn't want to offend Ma Fan, so the etiquette was to go; When I first booked a private room, I had already considered and reserved a place for Ma Fan. A few people will walk all the way to the private room of the hotel and sit down; During this period, Liu Jun did not contact the hotel again, but Ma Fan and the others could understand that this was sincerely planned from the beginning and invited them to eat together, not for the sake of politeness, but reluctantly; This sincerity really makes me feel very useful when I am invited.

On the road, Ma Fan said that he had watched Shi Qingsheng's game on TV, and praised Shi Qingsheng's boxing skills; Shi Qingsheng said, it is still Ma Fan's kung fu is profound, Ma Fan smiled and said: "I have worked longer than you, if I am at your age, I should be inferior to you." "When eating together in a restaurant, Ma Fan seemed very polite when he talked, and he gave people the feeling that he was very literate in conversation; When he saw Li Xiaoyu's anxious attention and Shi Qingsheng's wrist sprain, Ma Fan pinched Shi Qingsheng's wrist, felt it and said, "It's not a big problem, it should be fine tomorrow." ”

Ma Fan's two followers were also very polite at the wine table; In addition to eating and drinking, the two of them just got together and whispered to themselves, that is, they did not participate in other people's discussions, and they did not let the host of the treat feel that he was left out and uncomfortable.

Liu Jun thought at first that Ma Fan was not easy to deal with, and he was worried that if he couldn't talk about it together, he would end up unhappy; I didn't expect that although everyone was sitting at the same table for the first time, they still chatted more harmoniously; And because Ma Fan is well-informed, many times it is Ma Fan who is talking eloquently; Later, when I thought about it, Liu Jun was relieved, after all, Ma Fan is a famous character on the road, and he has experienced many scenes, as long as people don't plan to make trouble and handle the relationship on the scene, it will definitely be a piece of cake for others.

The dinner didn't go on for too long, they sat down at 7 o'clock, and it ended at nearly 8 o'clock, Ma Fan seemed to know that Liu Jun's martial arts hall was working at 8 o'clock at night, and when it was almost 8 o'clock, Ma Fan proposed to end it. And before the end of the meal, one of Ma Fan's followers came back and said to Ma Fan that someone had already settled the account on Liu Jun's side after going out of the private room. At the end of the dinner, Ma Fan asked Shi Qingsheng if he knew the protagonist in the online video "Kung Fu Master", Shi Qingsheng knew that he had said that he knew Xu Ran in a TV interview in the provincial sanda competition; simply didn't deny it, Ma Fan asked if he could introduce him to the "kung fu master" to compete, Ma Fan thought that the other party's kung fu should be higher than himself, but he himself liked it very much, and he could find a master to compete, so he knew his gap.

Shi Qingsheng understood this deeply, but he was embarrassed to say that his friend's house was not in the city, and he would definitely help and bring the words. Ma Fan said, he understands this, if it is inconvenient to come to Nanyuan City, he can go to the other party, where he is, Ma Fan and Shi Qingsheng left each other's mobile phone numbers. …… This week, Shi Qingsheng began to work in the unit normally from Monday to Friday, and worked in the martial arts hall on the evenings from Tuesday to Friday, all day on Saturday, and in the afternoons and evenings of Sunday. On Saturday morning, he was supposed to go to the dream game, but because of the opening of Liu Jun's new martial arts gym, he also got help; This week, there is only Sunday morning, and I entered the dream game.

After entering the dream game on Sunday morning, he went directly to the martial arts hall and asked to learn the elementary boxing technique of the Jade Goddess Fist; He was still worried that there would be any setbacks, after all, it was a female boxing technique; As a result, the boss didn't even say a word, and directly arranged for him to accept the transmission. Then Shi Qingsheng went to the practice room, and spent another 3.5 silver coins to practice, and the left-handed and right-handed styles of the Jade Goddess Fist reached 100% proficiency. Shi Qingsheng completed the 100% proficiency practice of the Jade Goddess Boxing this time, in such a short time, and he didn't expect that this was due to the fact that he already had the skills of the primary boxing method, and when he learned other elementary boxing methods, he was naturally much faster than when he was a beginner.

Two days ago, Shi Qingsheng had already discussed with Chen Xiangxiang and wanted to ask Chen Xiangxiang for a set, Chen Xiangxiang demonstrated the video of the basic boxing techniques of the Jade Goddess Boxing, which was used to teach female students and learn sanda, and Chen Xiangxiang agreed; Therefore, Shi Qingsheng directly chose and learned the female boxing method of Jade Goddess Boxing to facilitate teaching. Shi Qingsheng's girlfriend Li Xiaoyu has been coming to the martial arts hall to officially work since this Saturday morning, and on Saturdays and Sundays, she works in the martial arts hall all day; Although she is only teaching new students and she has already practiced the basic moves, after all, she is also a beginner, and she lacks confidence in her heart; Fortunately, Shi Qingsheng will often take the time to come over to have a look, and will also give her some guidance by the way.

Liu Jun's layout of this and newly opened martial arts gym still refers to the practice of the men's boxing gym; There are a lot of monitors installed in the martial arts hall for students to learn basic moves. His newly hired female coach, named Luo Hongyan, is recommended by Shi Qingsheng and is a member of the professional martial arts team, who is 25 years old this year; She normally works in the martial arts hall every day, working hours: Monday to Sunday, 3 to 5 p.m. every day, 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., and 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on weekends and weekends. Li Xiaoyu's working hours are, Monday to Sunday, from 8 to 10 o'clock in the evening; Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.; 3 to 5 p.m. Liu Jun's women's gym currently has a total of 20 students; This is because he considered that he had just opened, and he had to let the coaches have a familiar process with the work, and he didn't dare to recruit more.

Among these 20 people, 7 are female students who studied sanda in the martial arts gym in the previous paragraph, and they already have some sanda foundation; Most of the rest are beginners, mainly following the video and practicing basic boxing moves, while Li Xiaoyu is a timely tutor and correction when students practice basic moves. Liu Jun, a student in the afternoon class in the men's boxing gym, has also expanded to 32 personnel. On Sunday night, Chen Xiangxiang sent a demonstration video of the basic boxing moves of the Jade Goddess boxing to Shi Qingsheng's mailbox; Shi Qingsheng plans to take it to the women's boxing gym next Monday for everyone to learn. For the members of the "Dream Walker" group, Shi Qingsheng was not very interested in going out and looking for "treasures"; Of course, he also hoped that he could have this kind of treasure that could increase his spiritual power; But he felt that he should be self-aware.

Since this thing is difficult to find, it is difficult for oneself to have such good fortune that he can find it as soon as he goes out; Instead of wasting time wandering around, it's better to do something else by yourself; Let's see if other group members can find such a "treasure" first, Chen Xiangxiang began to follow the teaching videos downloaded from the computer to learn animation production on the morning of Monday to Friday this week. There are a lot of software that can make cartoons, and after Chen Xiangxiang consulted Kong Xiuying, she was targeted and specially selected to learn; After listening to Li Xin's persuasion last time, she also felt that perhaps because of the improvement of her mental strength, she could learn how to make cartoons.

Moreover, she has nothing to do in the morning, so instead of being idle, it is better to study something, at least use her brain more, which will also be good for her to exercise her mental strength; As for whether she can learn it in the end and make this cartoon, she really doesn't care much about it now. In the afternoon from Monday to Friday, and on the morning of Saturday and Sunday, Chen Xiangxiang went to the pasture and grazed 3 sheep; In the last few days of the week, Chen Xiangxiang was already able to herd sheep next to the bushes, and there was no case of sheep grazing and sheep being bitten by wolves this week. She didn't dare to spare her hands this week to train the sheep on the march and to line up.

On Friday, when Chen Xiangxiang logged in, her personal information changed again: mental power: 7; Strength: 8; Stamina: 8 (was 7); HP: 70. As of Sunday (that is, November 22), her personal game currency has accumulated 2 gold coins, 1 silver coin, and 3 bronze coins.
