On the afternoon of the fourth week of July (July 20), when Xu Ran entered the blacksmith shop to work, the boss said to him: "Are you willing to learn and forge the technology of 100 refined steel?" When I finish school, half a day's salary is 2 silver coins. It also helps in the improvement of strength and stamina. ”

Xu Ran said: "Okay, I'm willing to learn." The boss said, "Then you have to be mentally prepared to endure hardships." Xu Ran said: "There is no problem with this. After Xu Ran followed the boss into the workshop, the boss signaled Xu Ran and picked up the only oversized sledgehammer in the workshop; Xu Ran picked it up and felt that this oversized sledgehammer should be twice as heavy as a small sledgehammer and 1/4 heavier than a sledgehammer;

The boss told Xu Ran the essentials of the operation: "There are now 3 blanks in the furnace, I will take turns to pick up the blanks and put them on the anvil, you just hammer at the blank in the center of the anvil, and I will move the position of the blank; After every third blank, there is a rest, followed by a second round of hammering. Xu Ran replied, "Got it." "The boss took the red-hot iron blank out of the hearth with tongs and put it on the anvil; Xu Ran began to thrash, and with Xu Ran's hammering, the boss moved the blank back and forth; When the red-hot blank gradually cooled down and faded, the boss asked Xu Ran to stop beating; The boss put the cooled blank into the furnace and roasted it again, and then sandwiched out a new blank and continued to let Xu Ran hammer it.

After every three rounds of blank beating, Xu Ran can rest for 5 minutes, and each round of beating is about 1 minute. At first, Xu Ran didn't feel anything, but after working for more than an hour, he felt a little tired; This oversized hammer is 1/4 heavier than the previous sledgehammer, and the current hammer frequency is also higher than before, each time it used to be forged a single blank, now it is a continuous forging of 3 blanks, there will be a short rest, the power consumption and physical exertion, are obviously much more than before, after about 2 hours, Xu Ran said to the boss that the body is a little unbearable, let's do it today. The boss told him that he could only give him 1 silver coin because of the amount of work he didn't finish today; And told him that because it was the first time he used a large hammer, his body was a little uncomfortable, and he would slowly get used to it.

Xu Ran felt that there was no problem with working for at least half an hour, but he was worried that he would continue to work with great physical strength, and if he was afraid of a waist injury after a long time, he would have to delay for many days and not be able to work in iron, so he considered it and got off work early. After waking up in the afternoon, Xu Ran felt a sore feeling in his arm that he hadn't seen for a long time. He hurriedly went to the bathing city near his door and took a bath for half an hour before going home to make dinner and QQ. After entering the 'dream game' at night, although the soreness in his arm was gone, he still decided to go to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts this time, and he couldn't go to the iron continuously to strike iron, so as not to strain his muscles. Xu Ran now has 1 gold coin and 4 silver coins on his body, and after coming to the martial arts hall, Xu Ran handed over 1 gold coin and directly asked to teach King Kong Palm Intermediate Martial Arts. This time, it took about 1 minute and 30 seconds to pass the gong, and the six new moves were taught to perform the gong and exert force; It is still divided into left-handed movements, right-handed movements, and three postures.

At the same time, it also teaches the new moves and the six moves in the primary palm technique, the integration and coordination methods; The main focus of the new move is on hand-to-hand shorts; If the primary palm method is taught by the pure palm method, the intermediate palm method is also mixed with the elbow method and the arm method, which is concise and fast; The intermediate palm technique requires the coordination and coordination of the primary palm technique, and the action speed of the six new moves is also faster than the six moves of the primary level.

After completing the exercise, Xu Ran handed over the remaining 4 silver coins on his body and asked the waiter to lead him into a practice room. There is no need for the waiter to introduce, Xu Ran directly clicked on the touch screen to open the sparring demonstration function of the intermediate palm technique, which has "one-to-one", "one-to-two", "one-to-three" freehand sparring; There is also a "one-on-one opponent with a dagger" sparring. Xu Ran chose "one-on-one" hand-to-hand training, the opponent's physical state was set to ordinary, and Xu Ran turned off the demonstration function after watching it for about 5 minutes. Click on the actual combat practice, Xu Ran began to practice, Xu Ran practiced the left-handed style first.

Perhaps it is due to the sparring foundation of the primary palm technique, although when practicing the intermediate palm technique, the opponent's boxing method change speed is already much faster than that of the beginner level, Xu Ran is still very fast, has already adapted to this change, can keep up with the rhythm, and give full play to the power of his newly learned intermediate palm technique. When Xu Ran's 4 silver coins were consumed, Xu Ran's proficiency in the "one-to-one" mode of the left-handed intermediate palm technique was 42%. On Tuesday afternoon, Xu Ran still went to the blacksmith shop to strike iron, this afternoon Xu Ran felt a little used to the use of the oversized sledgehammer, but he still couldn't insist on working until the end of work, so he asked the boss to rest, and the boss gave him a salary of 1.5 silver coins in the afternoon. After waking up on Tuesday afternoon, Xu Ran still went to the bath first and took a bath for half an hour. After entering the game at night, he neither went to strike iron nor went to the martial arts hall to practice, because he only had 1.5 silver coins of game currency, and he didn't want to waste his time in vain; Xu Ran chose to go to the sheep farm to herd sheep. Because he heard the peacock talk about the situation of the sheep farm, Xu Ran came to the sheep farm, paid 5 copper coins and asked to graze 1 sheep, and after listening to the boss talk about the essentials and precautions of sheep herding, Xu Ran began his own sheep herding work.

Xu Ran's current mental power value is 8, and it is quite fast to adapt to a sheep, although he can only stand and give instructions to the sheep at first, after an hour, he can occasionally issue mental power commands while on the move; By the time it was time to call it a day, the 20% mental power command that Xu Ran had given to the sheep could already be issued on the march.

Xu Ran did not deliberately avoid the grass next to the bushes when she herded the sheep, and he ordered the sheep to go wherever the grass was near; Xu Ran felt that with his own strength and martial arts he had learned, he should be enough to deal with a single wolf.

Xu Ran ran away and injured two wolves in this half a day, but the first time he encountered a wolf, he was still a step slower to react, and let the wolf bite the sheep, so that his 1 copper coin salary for half a day of sheep herding was also lost. However, this did not affect Xu Ran, who continued to graze next to the bushes, and later found the grass next to the bushes to graze sheep; He felt that this would keep him on high alert and help him exercise his mental strength; As for the casualties of the sheep, he felt that it would not be much to lose, after all, the salary of the sheep was too far from the salary of his iron.

In the next few days of the week, Xu Ran worked in the blacksmith shop in the afternoon and went to the pasture to herd sheep at night. By Saturday, he had been able to work in the blacksmith for half a day at a time, earning half a day's wages for two silver coins. By Sunday, Xu Ran had already started grazing two sheep at a time, and now when he herded one sheep, he could already give all the instructions to the sheep on the move. As of Sunday (that is, July 26), Xu Ran's personal game currency has accumulated: 1 gold coin, 1 silver coin and 2 bronze coins. Calculated that Xu Ran began to log in to the 'Dream Game' alone on April 15th, and his basic personal information at that time was: mental power: 6, strength: 8, physical strength: 7, and blood volume: 60. By the beginning of July, the personal information was: mental power: 8; Strength: 11; Stamina: 11; HP: 80.

Mental power has increased by more than 30%, strength has increased by 40%, and physical strength has increased by more than 50%. It's only been about 3 months, and his physical fitness can be improved so much, so he feels a little dreaming, but aren't these all relying on dreams, this has to play word games, and it can really be funny. At present, Xu Ran's mental power has only increased by 2 values compared to before, but it is also more than 30% higher than his previous mental power value; And he did feel that he was smarter now than he was before.
