The old man laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. He wiped his eyes: "It looks like I'm really old." Five years ago, whoever dared to look at my hand with the eyes of yours would have known how fast my knife was. You are young, proud, stupid, and unbelievable, and indeed very suitable to be a swordsman. If you work hard, the rivers and lakes will remember you, but how many years can you remember? . ”

Xuanyuan Dragon God took Tu Shi away, complained that he shouldn't have contradicted the old swordsman, and finally asked him to find his own master, Du's Wine Shop Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, if you look for it carefully, you will definitely have an adventure.

Tu Shi walked cautiously and curiously past the tables, as if he wanted to join the small beasts of the group. The drinkers all heard the laughter of Yang Zeyu, the "Goose Trace Knife", some chose not to make eye contact with Tu Shi, and some chose to force Tu Shi back with their eyes. No adult beast welcomes this little beast, because the little beast is looking for a swordsman, and the beasts don't use swords.

When he walked to the side of the scammer selling old goods, looking at the scammer's calm expression as he tasted the air one after another, Tu Shigui asked in a daze, "Do you use a sword?" ”

The liar looked at Tu Shi, and his breathtaking eyes appeared again: "Occasionally." ”

"Can you take me as an apprentice?"

"But I don't know how to swordsmanship."

"Oh...... All right. Tu Shi was very disappointed. He looked at the cutlery on the table and asked, "Can I sit down?" What are you doing? ”

"I'm dining."

The liar's tone is flat, as if he is saying something very normal. Well, it's either a psychotic or a trick. Maybe he wasn't a liar, but just plain insane? As soon as he thought that he wanted to find a madman to apprentice, Tu Shi was very depressed. It's all the leprosy and ugly man who caused him to retreat to such a point.

With a snap, a red cloth package fell on the table, and coincidentally, a second before this happened, the liar just picked up the dishes and chopsticks, so the dishes and chopsticks were not crushed by the sudden weight. Most of the people in the restaurant looked up at the source of the sound. Tu Shi was a little nervous, alcohol can easily ignite impulses, so the Internet café he opened never sells beer.

The owner of the red cloth package sat opposite the liar, that is, on Tu Shi's left hand. Oh, it's another liar that day, and if you collect the rags, then the package must be filled with the pile of metal rags. The crook put a straw hat over the package and smiled knowingly: "Share a table." You haven't sold these priceless treasures yet? "He's always laughing.

The liar on the right: "I haven't met anyone who knows the goods." "He's always being cool.

The crook on the left sighed approvingly: "Me too!" The first time I did business, it was really difficult at the beginning! ”

You two sit together so coincidentally? It's a partnership to scam me out of money! Do I look like that?! Tu Shi deeply despised the two and asked the liar on the left: "Do you use a sword?" ”

The left liar smiled: "You are asking the right person!" ”

Tu Shi thought to himself and began to deceive: "Where is your sword?" "Pray to God and worship Buddha, don't say that this pile of rags is your sword!

The left crook pointed to the red cloth package: "This is my sword." ”

Tu Shi wanted to get up and leave immediately.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe, who would make people think that he was a teacher, walked over, and first threw his hand at the two liars, and when he smiled, his eyes were drowned by wrinkles at the corners of his eyes: "I am the shopkeeper of this wine shop, surnamed Du, I hope the two of you can give face and don't have conflicts in the small shop." "He is the head snake in the mouth of the Xuanyuan Dragon God.

The right liar picked up the clay cup and took a sip of the non-existent drink: "I have no intention of entanglement with him. ”

Shopkeeper Du looked at the liar on the left again.

"Haha, I really happened to meet him...... " The left liar laughed twice, and saw that the shopkeeper Du did not react, so he had to say: "I'll sit for a while and leave, it's always okay, right?" This little brother wants to learn swords from me, and I can't just walk away. ”

Tu Shi hurriedly said: "Don't, I can't afford to learn your ...... Sword. He resisted in his heart and called a pile of rags a sword.

Shopkeeper Du spoke again: "This sword, can I take a look?" ”

The left liar smiled, his eyes were unfathomable: "Shopkeeper Du, you began to contact the people of the eight directions under the old shopkeeper at the age of sixteen, and officially took over the Du's wine shop at the age of thirty, and there are two in forty this year, and you should know more rules than me." ”

The crooks are starting to fool around! To Tu Shi's surprise, Shopkeeper Du was really fooled, and took a step back: "It's me who is abrupt." In the past and in the future, To's Liquor will never ask about its customers. I just want to make friends with your guests. ”

The left liar got up: "That's not how friends are made. I give you a word of advice, let this brother out of the liquor store, and then close, or avoid a disaster. After that, he put on a straw hat and carried a package, and walked away without looking back.

The right liar didn't need to be invited by the shopkeeper, he got up consciously, packed his things unhurriedly, and then left the wine shop too. When the scammer finds that he can't continue to cheat, the first thing he does is to run away, which Tu Shi knows very well - there have been guys who pretend to be street office staff to go to his Internet café to defraud.

Shopkeeper Du finally set his sights on Tu Shi.

Tu Shi blinked: "I came to learn from the hero, can you not drive me away?" ”

"Adventurers who come here want to learn from their masters, but the rivers and lakes are never as simple as you think." Shopkeeper Du sat down opposite Tu Shi, and when he didn't smile, his eyes finally emerged from the layers of wrinkles, and his pupils were a little cloudy, I don't know if it was an illusion caused by the dim oil lamp. Every oil lamp here is quite dim, either because you don't want to expose your customers, or because the liquor store is not doing well and has been running out for a long time and has to cut back on the cost of lamp oil. "You have no money, no power, no power, and some are just a rotten life that doesn't matter how many times you die, why should the hero take you as an apprentice? What benefits do they get? Heroes are also people, they have to eat, they have to stay, they have to drink, they have to make friends, they can go to work for the nobles, why should they be responsible for you? Young people should be down-to-earth. ”

"Maybe it's because of our rotten life that we can help the hero at some point?" Tu Shi asked rhetorically.

There are no restrictions on apprenticeship, and players are free to apprentice to almost any NPC, with the only difference being success and failure. Many players who have already apprenticed to the teacher (including Xuanyuan Dragon God) say that you can cultivate an intimacy with him (her) if you fancy an NPC, and once he (she) feels that you are a malleable talent (in fact, it meets the hidden conditions for accepting apprentices), the master-apprentice relationship can be established. The stronger the NPC, the more demanding the hidden conditions that need to be met, and it is almost impossible to achieve; On the other hand, the instructors who work in the establishment can preach to the players for free. Tu Shi thinks this is very fair, and how much you can get in return depends on how much you pay.

Shopkeeper Du was noncommittal, and said, "Do you want to apprentice to the two just now?" ”

"I'm just kidding. I'm going to be a swordsman, not a liar. ”

"One of them is not a liar." The shopkeeper Du was thoughtful. "That's indeed his sword."

"The swordsman who collected the rags? The package hasn't been opened, how do you know it's a sword? ”

"I've been doing this for twenty-six years, and I've developed an intuition."

"Hahaha." Tu Shi perfunctorily passed, and asked again: "The other one is holding an empty bowl and pretending to be a ghost, obviously a liar, why are you still polite to him?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, it's a Taoist priest. There are three kinds of people that can't be provoked: the old and weak, women and children, and monks, young people, you don't even know this and come out to explore the rivers and lakes? Maybe they don't kill anyone, but they do cause trouble. I'm a small profit and don't want to get into trouble. ”

"Oh...... One last question: Do you practice swordsmanship? ”

"I don't practice swords, I don't even know martial arts, I only make wine."

That's why you've been deceived! But don't blame you, how many people in the real world claim to be central cadres and then deceive many bureau-level leaders? It's not that we're incompetent, it's that liars are too cunning! Tu Shi was deeply sympathetic, got up to say goodbye, and Xuanyuan Dragon God walked out of the wine shop with him.

"My teacher is too nagging." When not getting along with NPCs, the player prefers to refer to the mentor as "teacher" rather than "master". Xuanyuan Dragon God shrugged: "He told me a lot of things, trying to prove that the rivers and lakes are ugly and people's hearts are unpredictable. He is indeed old. ”

"But anyway, you already have a good teacher, and my teacher doesn't know where to be happy."

Xuanyuan Dragon God laughed: "As long as you are not so stubborn, you can find the teacher just now." The person who uses the sword is either a fancy man who uses a sword, or a disciple of a famous family who is too noble for ordinary people to approach, I asked the teacher, and he said that there is no famous person who uses a sword in Jingzhou. I guess so, of course, my teacher is looking for a place where there are no well-known swordsmen to retire. After saying this, he looked back, a little bit of a thief.

Tu Shi sighed: "Okay, then I'll go to the establishment office to change jobs." "The establishment office only opened during the day, and he can only go again tomorrow, so it can be said that he wasted a day today.

"Why are you so stubborn? Do you have to learn swords? Xuanyuan Dragon God frowned: "How can those ordinary mentors compare with these chivalrous guests?" ”

"I've looked at the forums and it seems that the skills taught are similar. Of course, the well-known characters are powerful, but they are only limited to one or two skills, maybe your knife will be faster than ordinary swordsmen, and there should be no other advantages in addition. Tu Shi observed the other party's expression: "Am I right?" ”

"You're right, my teacher is good at fast knives, and he is only good at fast knives, but this is enough for me to be better than others. Are you really willing to follow the most ordinary teacher and learn only the most ordinary swordsmanship? ”

"After all, it's more handsome to use a sword. As for the gap, let's make up for it with equipment when the time comes. Tu Shi said with a smile. His main purpose in playing "Qiankun" is to play the game with his friends, and he doesn't need to pursue anything. What is the gap between the top players and the top players? China has a population of more than one billion people and is full of talents, and he will never be the most powerful, so there is no need to force it.

Separated from the Xuanyuan Dragon God, who hates iron but not steel, Tu Shi wanders around Hongdou City, after all, the protagonist of the novel often gets adventures while wandering. Instead of an adventure, he encountered a misfortune - he smelled the strong smell of blood as he passed through an alleyway.
