Xu Ran's city also has a sanda competition in October, but Xu Ran is not interested in this; He doesn't care if he should get a medal too, he cares about not getting noticed.

He is now working in a blacksmith shop to earn more game currency, and to increase his physical strength and strength. It's just that now that he is working in a blacksmith shop, he no longer feels very strenuous, so he is also worried that his strength and physical strength will not improve quickly. Xu Ran has been thinking about taking some other measures to help improve his strength and physical strength. Last weekend, Xu Ran took the time to go to a large-scale fitness equipment store, wanting to see how to buy a suitable fitness equipment and put it at home, which can also be used to assist in exercising strength and physical strength.

Xu Ran had never paid close attention to fitness equipment before, but when he entered the store, he found that there were really a lot of varieties; Household varieties include treadmills, elliptical machines, rowing machines, spinning bikes, steppers, barbells, dumbbells, massage chairs, etc.; Like elliptical machines and rowing machines, Xu Ran also heard and saw it for the first time. After browsing, Xu Ran asked the waiter to come over, introduced the use of the rowing machine, and went up to try it himself; The first feeling that this rowing device gave Xu Ran was that it could exercise the muscles and strength of the whole body, so it hit it at a glance; But when I went up, I realized that it should be the reason why my strength and physical strength have improved, and I didn't feel the feeling of exertion when I used the rowing machine; That wouldn't serve the purpose of exercising, Xu Ran regrettably got off the rower.

Xu Ran then tried the elliptical machine again, but it was not enough to meet his need to exercise strength. After studying and other equipment, Xu Ran finally decided to buy a pair of dumbbells to exercise at home; That is, it saves time, but also achieves the purpose of exercising strength and physical strength; Xu Ran didn't consider the barbell because he thought that the barbell was not suitable for all-round muscle strength. The waiter led Xu Ran to the place where dumbbells were sold, and Xu Ran tried the dumbbell samples placed on the ground, feeling that he was too light to use; I asked the waiter to bring the heaviest dumbbells in the store for him to try. When the waiter led Xu Ran to the dumbbell sales area, he was already unhappy; She felt that Xu Ran might have planned to buy dumbbells from the beginning, to try out rowing machines, elliptical machines, etc., that is, to be idle and have nothing to do, and planned to play around, and had no intention of buying those equipment at all.

However, the customer who bought the dumbbells was also a customer, and although the waiter was unhappy, he still maintained a professional smile on his face. Now Xu Ran asked the waiter to take out the heaviest dumbbells to try them, and the waiter felt that Xu Ran was a bit joking, judging from Xu Ran's body type, Xu Ran was not like that kind of person with great strength. The waiter's face、It's going to be a little unbearable smile.。 However, the waitress didn't bother to tell Xu Ran how heavy the heaviest dumbbell in the store was, so she was directly there and shouted loudly: "Boss, there are customers here, try the heaviest dumbbell in the store." ”

She wanted to see how embarrassing Xu Ran would be when she couldn't use the heaviest dumbbells in the store. Xu Ran didn't ask about the weight, so he asked the waiter to take out the heaviest dumbbells; That is the strength and confidence in his heart, and his current strength value is almost twice as large as that of ordinary people; The dumbbells sold here are still combined, and the weight of the dumbbells can be adjusted within a certain range; Considering that his strength value will gradually increase, Xu Ran is ready to buy the heaviest dumbbells directly and go back to exercise. And the waiter didn't tell Xu Ran's heaviest dumbbell, it was a joke about Xu Ran; The waiter now feels that Xu Ran is not sincere in coming to buy something. After the owner of the store came over, he told Xu Ran that the heaviest dumbbell in the store was 40kg, and asked Xu Ran if he wanted to try it now; The boss also felt that Xu Ran was not strong enough, and he didn't believe that he was suitable for playing, and the dumbbells were too heavy. After Xu Ran asked the price, he said, "I want to try it now, and if it's suitable, I'll buy it." The shopkeeper and another waiter quickly pushed the dumbbell assembly out of the warehouse with a small cart; After unboxing, the combination is good, let Xu Ran try it.

When Xu Ran bent down and picked up the dumbbells from the ground with both hands, the expressions of the shopkeeper and the two waiters became wonderful; They didn't expect that Xu Ran would seem so relaxed when he picked up the dumbbells. After Xu Ran took the dumbbell and played a few times, he began to regret it in his heart; The weight of this dumbbell still seems light, and there is still a distance from the purpose of exercising strength; Xu Ran tried to use dumbbells and did a few movements, while asking the shop owner if he could have heavier dumbbells. The shopkeeper now also sees that Xu Ran's strength is too large, and he told Xu Ran that it should be possible to order dumbbells weighing up to 100kg, and they are also the same as 40kg dumbbells, which are assembled in pieces and stacked, so that Xu Ran can freely choose the weight within 100kg according to his needs.

Xu Ran was very happy when he heard this, and immediately said that he asked the store owner to make a payment and paid the deposit; Originally, Xu Ran was still thinking about it, if there was no heavier one, he would buy a 40kg dumbbell first, so that he could make do with it and use it for a while; This can now be paid for 100kg, even if your strength value is gradually increased, you can use it well for a while. The owner of the shop now found out that he had met a talent, and after Xu Ran paid the deposit for the purchase of dumbbells, he began to ask Xu Ran enthusiastically about the situation; When he asked clearly that Xu Ran had not usually conducted professional strength or bodybuilding training, he worked extremely hard and kept lobbying Xu Ran to participate in the bodybuilding training classes run by their company, and promised to give Xu Ran a discount; The owner of the shop frequently introduced to Xu Ran the benefits of bodybuilding training, and praised Xu Ran for his strength and strength, and it was easier to achieve results in bodybuilding.

Xu Ran directly declined politely. Xu Ran knew his own situation, he didn't need to participate in bodybuilding training, he had a place to exercise himself, and he had no interest in making a name for himself through bodybuilding competitions. When Xu Ran left the gym equipment store, the waitress looked at Xu Ran's eyes full of admiration. On Thursday morning, the owner of the gym equipment store led an employee to personally deliver the goods to Xu Ran, after all, it was 100 kilograms of goods. The boss still hopes that Xu Ran can participate in the bodybuilding training class organized by their company; This time, the boss promised that Xu Ran would not have to pay the bodybuilding training fee, as long as Xu Ran promised to produce the results, he would participate in the bodybuilding competition in the name of their company. Xu Ran told the other party that he really didn't have time, but the other party still took the trouble to explain to Xu Ran the benefits of participating in bodybuilding exercises and personal future, hoping to impress Xu Ran; The owner of the shop is optimistic about Xu Ran and will definitely become a celebrity in the bodybuilding industry; In the end, Xu Ran promised the other party that when he had time to participate in bodybuilding training, he would definitely contact the other party first before it was over. In the fourth week of September, Xu Ran spent every afternoon striking iron at the blacksmith shop and grazing sheep at the pasture at night. Xu Ran started this week and grazed six sheep at a time; He now has mental strength to meet the conditions for grazing 6 sheep, and what he needs to exercise now is to be able to quickly issue mental power commands to ensure that the 6 sheep under his command are under his easy control. Xu Ran's current effective distance of mental power instructions is 3 meters, and the six sheep are scattered within the scope of his mental power control, and there is also a certain amount of room for movement, as long as he often pays attention to and moves his position to follow the direction of the movement of most sheep, and commands the outliers to return to the team at any time, he can avoid running back and forth, and go to the sheep to send mental power commands; This is also his experience after a period of herding sheep. Starting this Monday, Xu Ran could not guarantee that he would be able to issue six instructions in a row within the validity period of a spiritual instruction; By the end of this week, he had been able to issue 6 mental power commands in a row within the validity period of one order.

Xu Ran herded sheep, or only chose to graze sheep on the grass close to the bushes, while taking care of the sheep, he always kept his attention high, paying attention to whether there were wolves in the bushes; Of course, all of this requires him to concentrate extra and not afford to lose; But he already enjoyed the feeling, and he knew that this kind of environment would only be good for exercising his mental strength. Now in the bushes, whenever there is a wolf, he can detect it in advance; Xu Ran guessed, this may be the sixth sense, commonly referred to as the sixth sense; According to Xu Ran's analysis, it should be that when the wolf moves in the bushes, it will have an impact on the surrounding environment, and the subtle changes in the surrounding environment due to the wolf's actions have been paid attention to by Xu Ran's attention, so the wolf's traces have been discovered.

...... "Gentle Wind" has now entered the novice village of the dream game and started his dream game experience. After Xu Ran asked about the "gentle wind", he also made her a set of tricky tools for working in a clothing shop, which cost 5 copper coins. As of Sunday (that is, September 27), Xu Ran's personal game currency has accumulated: 7 gold coins, 6 silver coins and 3 bronze coins. …… Xu Ran is responsible for the renovation construction, and on Monday of this week, he has entered the on-site construction; Xu Ran still goes to the construction site every morning to manage it, and no longer asks in the afternoon, if there is something to do, call in the evening. Thanks to the improvement of his mental strength, Xu Ran feels that when he thinks about the management issues on the construction site now, his thinking is particularly clear; not only took into account the problems that you need to pay attention to in advance; Some problems that belong to the on-site class and have not thought of it, he can remind others to pay attention in advance; It is avoided that when he is not on the scene in the afternoon, people cannot solve the problem and affect the smooth progress of the work. The script for Xu Ran's cartoon "Zhou Dynasty" is still being written this week; Since the history of the Zhou Dynasty also involves the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the historical materials of other countries are connected; He has to consider it holistically, and the subsequent Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, cartoon script writing. If you want to write a high-quality historical cartoon of "Zhou Dynasty" without omissions, the workload is heavy and difficult; Xu Ran's attitude is that since you want to write, you have to write well.

He has now finished writing the part before the Western Zhou Dynasty, and there is still the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to write; The materials he recently consulted during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period will be just as useful for him to write "Spring and Autumn" and "Warring States" in the future, and he can save some time when the time comes. However, this week, Xu Ran had to go to work at the construction site in the morning, so he didn't have much time to write, so he could only find time to write a little every day. …… It has been almost 4 months since Li Xin began to follow up the investigation and the related content of the 'dream game'; in addition to submitting a report to the section chief every week, Li Xin will write a summary of the investigation to the section chief at the end of every month; The section chief also submits a monthly report on the situation of the "Dream Walker" to the director. Although the details of the 'dream game' have not yet been clarified, the National Security Bureau has reached a consensus on the existence of the 'dream game'; It's just that how to find out the content here, they are also undecided; The section chief still told Li Xin to continue to pay attention and wait and see what happens. Li Xin introduced another one to the group this week, a woman named "Qingfeng" in QQ, who lives in Hexi Province, and the team where "Qingfeng" is in the dream game, there are currently six people, and she is a team member.

In the first week of October, Kong Xiuying put the first and second episodes of "Shang Dynasty" into the VIP space of the website; The cartoon of "Shang Dynasty"、She is going to make 10 episodes。 There are quite a lot of cartoons about history on the website now, and Kong Xiuying is already very famous on the website; The cartoons she participated in the production of were the most watched on the website; Every week, readers urge her to update quickly.

Due to the support of Xu Ran's script production, the storyline of the cartoon produced by Kong Xiuying is clear and has many highlights; The animation layout is novel and unique, and the scene is spectacular; The historical materials and visual effects displayed are very eye-catching. Considering Xu Ran's fast script writing, Kong Xiuying specially recruited two female graduates who had just graduated and studied animation production at the end of September to cooperate with her to speed up the production of cartoons. Originally, Kong Xiuying planned to arrange for these two female college students to spend the eleventh long vacation and then officially come to work in their studio; But when these two female college students learned about Kong Xiuying's animation website, and knew that the cartoons produced by Kong Xiuying were unusually popular on the website; As soon as the two discussed, they didn't go home to celebrate the holiday with their families; directly asked Kong Xiuying to start working in Kong Xiuying's studio from October 1.

At the end of September, Kong Xiuying moved out of the shared house with her colleagues and rented a 4-bedroom and two-living room house; For the time being, she used this place as her own animation production studio. The two female graduates she recruited were not from the local area, so she directly arranged for the two female employees to share a house in her studio.
