Chapter 10: The Baruch Family (4,000 words)
During this time, several happy events happened in Baruch's family.
The first happy event is that Hogg, the contemporary head of the family, has finally made a breakthrough after staying in the bottleneck for seven years.
Although because he is a descendant of a dragon blood warrior, he cannot cultivate ordinary fighting qi. But through non-stop physical training, and his warrior level was finally promoted with difficulty, reaching the limit of a normal human body (the Holy Domain is not human), and he had no fighting spirit at the sixth level.
In terms of physical strength alone, it has surpassed most ninth-level warriors, and with the physical advantage, the combat power is comparable to that of seventh-level warriors with liquefied fighting qi. Ordinary level six is by no means his opponent, he is already considered a strong man in the Finlay Kingdom, and he has stepped into the high-level combat power of the continent with one foot.
And the physical limit of ordinary people is level six, but the Baruch family is not!
As a descendant of a dragon-blooded warrior, there are not only disadvantages, but also advantages that are difficult for ordinary people to reach. Flesh Seventh or even higher innate talents.
Hogg, who has high-level combat power, plus Hillman, who is at the peak of the sixth-level middle level of fighting spirit, and the mercenary experts who have been hired in recent years, have their protection, and in this Finnish kingdom, the development of Osan Town and the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce in the next few years has been guaranteed by strong enough force.
……
The second happy event was that his adopted son, Yog-Baruch, had also reached the age of cultivation.
And Hogg firmly believes that his adopted son's natural aptitude is absolutely good enough to shock anyone.
This is not an unwarranted trust that parents place in their children.
But in the past six years, it seems that Yog, who was born to know, has given him too many surprises and surprises as a father, and he deserves to be excellent.
Super learning ability, memory ability, whether it is aristocratic etiquette or common sense of the Magnolia Continent, the secret knowledge has been mastered one by one, and the collection of 10,000 books in the study has also been roughly turned over, and the six-year-old child has completely surpassed Hogg and the vast majority of people in terms of reading and knowledge, and he can definitely be called erudite and knowledgeable.
Coupled with a regular life and rest, continuous four years of uninterrupted exercise and study, never complaining, firm will, and strong self-discipline and autonomy.
In addition to the childishness that exudes when playing with his younger brother, he is more like an adult in a child's skin.
This can also be simply explained as being born with outstanding mental power and early wisdom.
But Yog's performance in business made him know what it means to be 'mediocre limits imagination', and there are really geniuses in the world who are born to know!
At the age of two, he approached Hogg to discuss with him the future of the Baruch family in Osan Town.
At that time, although Hogg felt a little funny, his son's kindness could not be disappointed, so after a short period of surprise, he quickly regained his composure, and did not disdain, but looked at his slightly nervous son with an encouraging face.
After that, he treated the two-year-old Yog equally with the formal attitude of an adult meeting, looking forward to his childlike words.
Unbeknownst to Hogg, it was the pinnacle of his life.
This gesture made the nervous Yuge instantly settle down, and he couldn't help but have a great respect for him, worthy of being a good father who educated the Hongmeng controller, and after thinking about it, he slowly spoke.
Then Hogg exploded.
Not only because of the evil of his cheap son frightened him, but also because the words that Yuge said were clearly taken apart and understood every word, but when combined, they were extremely confused.
What is the current situation of mainland business, which are sunrise industries, which are sunset industries, and which are the vast markets that need to be opened up urgently......
After that, he analyzed in detail the access conditions of various industries, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of Wushan Town and the family itself, and proposed to set up a flash gold chamber of commerce led by the garment industry according to the capital competitiveness.
He could only look serious, frown, nod his head from time to time and say words of encouragement, and make a look that I understand you continue.
Hogg will never admit for the rest of his life that under his long-standing and reliable father figure, he is actually extremely confused.
In the words of the cheap son, it is 'seemingly stable as an old dog, but in fact it is panicked.' ’
He will bring this secret into the underworld, for the sake of his majestic father figure.
Although the son's excellent is worrying, his hard work is distressing. Although the son is too self-disciplined, Hogg does not have the real feeling of being a father. Although the son is an adopted son, there is no bond of blood relationship. Although his son is too powerful, he will single-handedly approach the declining Baruch family and revive the family business, so that he, as a father, can't have the momentum he should have in front of his son.
Although there are many though, as their first child, for six years, they have been together day and night, and Yogg is undoubtedly the heart of Hogg and his wife.
Therefore, half a year before Yog began to practice as a warrior, in order to allow him to lay a better foundation and win at the starting line, Hogg had already begun to look for suitable high-level Dou Qi Secret Codes in Finlay City, secretly preparing gold coins, and preparing to surprise him.
And the three happy things are that the high-level Douqi Secret Archive, which Hogg has been paying attention to, is now finally on its radar, and will appear at the Finlay auction in two months.
I didn't pay attention, I didn't know, I was startled when I paid attention, I thought that the essays written by the Sword Saint Law Saint that I bought for Xiao Yog before, the photocopy version of four or five hundred gold coins, the price was enough to be excessive.
But when I saw the price of the Douqi Secret Archive, I knew what it meant to be not the most excessive, only more excessive, and it was no longer drawing blood, but blatantly cutting flesh.
Looking at the list given in advance by the auction, the corners of Hogg's mouth twitched.
The starting price of the high-level Dou Qi Secret Archive is 20,000 gold coins.
Equivalent to one-ninth of a slaughtering sword, the private money he has saved in four years.
And this is only the starting price, and the transaction price may be much.
It is estimated that you have to use the liquidity of the Chamber of Commerce, but you still have to buy it, and you have not been able or necessary to buy it before, but now it is different.
Let's popularize science, the currency of the strong Magic Crystal is not mentioned for the time being, the economic system of the Magnolia Continent is the gold standard, one gold coin is equal to one hundred silver coins is equal to one thousand copper coins.
A copper coin can probably buy a large pie, and compared to the previous life, the purchasing power of a copper coin is about five cents.
The living expenses of an ordinary family of three are enough for one gold coin a month in the countryside, and it will not exceed hardware coins in the city if it is not luxurious.
20,000 gold coins, wow, 20 million five cents is there.
So the first time he learned of this outrageous price, Hogg's exclamation blurted out.
It's a day......
Is angina ......
Since he was a child, he often heard some vulgar but very interesting words. Although he was reprimanded to pay attention to the elegance and elegance of the aristocracy and pay attention to conversation, when he was alone, Hogg was also deeply affected, and often unconsciously uttered vulgar words, which were simply poisonous.
……
On the Magnolia Continent, the Dou Qi Secret Archive is divided into four levels: super, high, and low. As for the Qi Accumulation Style, it can only exercise the body, and it cannot refine the Dou Qi, and it is definitely not even the lowest level of the Dou Qi Method.
The vast majority of warriors and low-level adventurers on the continent practice low-level secret texts, such as the reckless bull fighting qi in the Finlay army, the black tiger fighting qi and other non-attribute fighting qi. Compared with the Qi Accumulation Style, which only absorbs the elements of heaven and earth to refine the Dou Qi, the refining speed of the Dou Qi is slow, the Dou Qi temperament and quantity cultivated are very poor, and the power is low and cannot continue to fight, and generally only high-level warriors who have liquefied the Dou Qi can compile it.
However, even the low-level Douqi Secret Book is firmly in the hands of the nobles and the kingdom, and it is not allowed to circulate, even if the commoners are rich and have excellent qualifications, they can only be obtained by being a dog for the nobles, or by having enough military merits in the kingdom army.
Hillman's cultivation is the Black Tiger Fighting Qi that focuses on attack, and he was born and died several times in the army before he obtained the cultivation qualification, and he could not pass it on to others.
In fact, it can be seen from the fact that he practiced the low-level secret canon, and he could reach the sixth level of Dou Qi at the age of thirty, his talent was absolutely outstanding, and if he could practice the higher-level Dou Qi Secret Classic, he would re-refine his Dou Qi.
I believe that I will soon be able to break through the bottleneck of the liquefaction of Dou Qi and become a high-level warrior of the seventh level, and there is a liquefied high-level Dou Qi to nourish the body and soul, increase the lifespan, and even the Holy Domain is expected!
Middle-level secret books, the classics of fighting qi circulated among the upper echelons of the great aristocratic army, such as the seven secret books of fighting qi of various systems that Hogg spent nearly 10,000 gold coins to buy in the past two years, Fire Flame Fighting Qi, Water Cloud Fighting Qi...... Elemental attributes have been added, the refining speed of Dou Qi has been accelerated, the quality of Dou Qi has been improved, and the damage of additional elemental attributes has been added, which can only be compiled by peak warriors who have a deep understanding of Dou Qi.
Ordinary civilians don't even dare to think about it, and the secrets of many kingdoms and royal families are only at the intermediate level.
High-level Secret Archive, only the Holy Domain Family, the Imperial Royal Family and a few powerful kingdoms have a super powerful Secret Archive, based on the powerful high-level or Sacred Domain Monsters, the created Douqi Secret Codex, in addition to giving the warrior more powerful Douqi physical strength, but also will give the warrior a powerful stunt, such as the griffin fighting spirit given to the Finlay royal family by the Holy See of Light, and the world-famous Hydra fighting spirit, cultivated to a high level, will give the warrior the power of the beast king (the majesty of the king) and the powerful secret skills of multiple attacks.
The super-level secret tox, only the peak of the sacred realm that begins to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth can create and compile, with far-reaching intentions, and there is a qualitative difference between the high-level secret tome in terms of elemental damage and the quality of the fighting spirit. For example, the Rock Secret Book written by the world-famous Rock Sword Saint Edson, the strongest sacred realm in the world, is based on the earth and mountains, and the fighting spirit is broad and vast, such as the power of the mountains and boulders, the defense is amazing, and the feet step on the earth, and the body's fighting energy recovery is super strong, but it is weaker than flexibility and agility, and it is lost in sharpness (Yog's opinion).
Finally, there is a god-level secret book that is said to be compiled by only the gods, allowing the holy realm to break through to the divine realm.
However, this can only be done in the popular YY novels on the mainland, and the truly knowledgeable professionals, as well as most of the powerhouses of the Holy Domain, disdain it, they know the bottleneck of the Divine Domain, and they can only rely on themselves to understand the last step, not some god-level secret codex.
……
After dealing with the affairs of the Finlay branch of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, I also heard the news I wanted.
"Dad, are you back?" Hogg, who had just returned home from Finlay City, had just stepped into the living room when he heard his youngest son Lin Lei cheering.
His wife, Lina, was cooking, and Hogg brought back some snacks from the city and stuffed them for Xiao Linlei. smiled: "Come, Dad's gift, reward for the obedient little Lin Lei." ”
"yes~yes, Lin Lei is very well-behaved, I don't believe you ask your mother!"
At this time, the wife took the prepared dishes, put them on the table, picked up some inappropriate snacks, and then picked up Xiao Linlei's face, kissed it heavily, and said with a smile: "Well, the baby is the most well-behaved!" Today, I have learned more than 100 words, and in a few days, I will be able to read books on my own. ”
"Mom, I can read the storybook now, but I don't know a few words yet." Lin Lei said unconvinced beside him.
After listening to the conversation between the mother and son with a smile, Hogg turned around, took the proud Xiao Linlei's nose, and deliberately said with a straight face: "It's more than two years old, I only know such braille, what is there to be proud of, when your brother is as old as you, Yulan's general knowledge is like a stream!" ”
"Brother Yog, that's amazing." When Xiao Linlei heard his father's words, his eyes were full of adoring little stars.
was not hit, let alone dissatisfied with his brother, and then raised his small fist and said seriously, "Lin Lei is also going to work hard, catch up with my brother, surpass my brother!" ”
Although he is still young, Lin Lei's courage has already begun to appear.
The younger son's words made Hogg stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily, with such two excellent children, what more could a father ask for.
However, his wife Linna on the side was unhappy when she heard this, glared at Hogg, hugged Xiao Linlei, and smiled softly: "Xiao Linlei is also very powerful, at least much stronger than your father who can't write at the age of six or seven, and he will definitely become a very powerful person in the future." ”
"Huh, really?" Xiao Lin Lei, who was in his arms, turned his head to look at his father, his immature little face was full of shock, as if to say, is there such a stupid person in the world?
"Yes, of course...... It's true. Hogg looked at his sneering wife with a black line on his face.
"Squeak~squeak~"
The door of the mansion was opened, and the sound of fine footsteps should be that little Yogg is back, and when he finishes eating, he will tell him the news and give him a surprise, Hogg thought to himself.
Then the wife, who couldn't hold her breath, ran out in a hurry.
'Hey, my good lena, Yog hasn't been around for a long time, and you're exaggerating a bit of a reaction to that. And my husband hasn't seen her for three days, and he doesn't have this treatment. ”
Hogg, who was a little tasty, complained wildly in his heart, and also walked out after his wife.
"Dinner is ready, little Yoge~" heard his wife's soft and coquettish shout, and saw his wife hugging his son affectionately despite his son's struggle.
Hogg looked at Yogg in his arms with a little sour in his heart, and looked at Yog in his wife's arms with resentment, since he picked up this cheap son, all his wife's attention was attracted by this son, but he also knew that eating his son's vinegar was really a bit nonsense.
It's just that I can't control how much, I can't remember a few......
……
"Dinner is ready, little Yog~"
As soon as he finished finishing his work and walked through the living room door, Yog heard the sweet voice of his mother Lina, and was held in his arms.
The long golden hair fell on Yog's flushed face, and although he was buried in two pieces of softness, Yuge, who claimed to be a thirty-year-old uncle, was very shy, but he was more obsessed with the warm taste than shy, and he was unwilling to break free.
But soon, he was ruthlessly pulled away by a big hand.
"Little ghost, this is where your dad should be, you know?"
Hogg, who was left out in the cold, was full of unhappiness.
"Huh~" Yuge, who was pulled away, turned his head.
"Huh? You little ghost, you are so rude to your father, turn your head to me! ”
"Hey, Mom, who is this uncle with jealousy engraved on his face, it's so scary!" Trembling, Yogg turned his head and embraced Lady Lina, burying his head in his arms.
The son who looks like a little adult is rarely coquettish, which makes Lady Lina smile like a flower, and cooperates with her son to fight her jealous husband, looking at Hogg and frowning.
"Hogg, you're a nuisance! It's all because you've always been like this, little Yog hasn't been close to me for two years."
'Nasty'......
'Lina she, Linna her, said I hated it. Hogg, who was hit by a critical blow, bent forward in frustration, and had no love on his face.
Especially when he saw his son Yogg in the arms of his beautiful wife, grimacing at him, Hogg came to his senses.
Oh, son, it doesn't exist!
Yes, it's just rivals. As soon as he appeared, he cared for Linna's lifelong enemy.
Hogg, who was expressionless, looked at the creature named Son in front of him, took out all the snacks that he was about to hand out in his arms, and shook them in front of Yogg.
Then he turned around and stuffed it to the youngest son on the side, and turned to leave.
Stay and suddenly get a lot of delicious food, in the silly and happy Lin Lei.
And complained frantically in his heart, with a mdzz on his face.
