Great Yan Country, Aoki Prefecture, in front of the notice board of Qibao County.

It was noon, the sun was shining, and the heat wave was rolling in the air, resounding with cicadas one after another.

"Hehe, you boys, listen, although our Red Dust Inn is not a big place, it is not accepted by everyone. Our Hongchen Inn has very high requirements for the shopkeeper, and among you people, only one person can be the shopkeeper. Those who are selected can go back to the Hongchen Inn with me, not to mention food and lodging, and they can also receive a salary of ten taels of silver every month, which is much higher than the inn in Qibao County. ”

A thin man with a smile on his face touched his upper lip to his lower lip and spoke eloquently. He is about forty years old, dressed in green clothes, with a goatee, a bit of a teacher's bearing, narrow and slender eyes, as if he can see through people's hearts.

Around the thin man, there were more than 20 young people, the oldest was in his twenties, and the youngest was about thirteen or fourteen years old. The teenagers were dressed entirely in coarse cloth, and many even had patches on their clothes.

It is precisely because they are poor that these young people cherish this opportunity very much, and they all want to become the second shopkeeper of the Hongchen Inn. For them, being able to be the shopkeeper of the Hongchen Inn is no different from a carp jumping over the dragon gate, at least they can eat together.

The teenagers kept squeezing forward, looking eagerly at the rather ugly, thin man.

At the same time, the thin man was also looking at the group of teenagers, judging the general situation of each person, his eyes swept over the last child, he groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "You can't tell which of you is superior and who is inferior, you have to compare them with your hands, whether it is a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out and slip away." Of course, the second junior in the shop is not the same as the champion in the exam, and the test is not Baguwen, but something related to the second junior in the shop. If you want to be a good shopkeeper, you can't do without a good physique, so this first test is to test your physique. ”

As he spoke, the thin man slapped his chest twice, making two muffled sounds.

"Come, come, come up one by one, and hit me with your fists, and I'll see which of you has the most strength. Although great strength does not mean that physical strength is good, but people with poor physical strength will definitely have great strength. In this first round of tests, whoever has the most strength will be considered to pass, and whoever has the least strength will be eliminated. ”

With that, the thin man put his hands behind his back, smiled and didn't move, and waited for the teenagers to come and beat him.

Teenagers, you look at me, I look at you, all hesitate, only a slightly older young man stepped forward with courage, gritted his teeth and puffed out his cheeks, and slapped the thin man's chest with all his strength. The young man was quite athletic and had a lot of strength, but he punched the thin man as if he had hit cotton wool, and there was no sound at all. The young man looked surprised and took two steps back.

"Very good, very good, not a small strength, you can stay and wait for the second test." The thin man smiled with satisfaction, and his gaze fell on the second shorter child, "Then it's your turn, come and punch me, either in the chest or in the stomach." ”

The short boy stepped forward timidly, screamed and punched the thin man, much less powerful than the first young man, and was eliminated immediately.

In this way, the teenagers stepped forward in turn to punch people, and those with more strength were left behind, and those with less strength were eliminated and left gloomily.

……

A young man named Zhao Zheng stood in the crowd of applicants, feeling bumpy, for fear that he would lose the election because of his lack of strength. He wanted to be the second child of this shop, not for the measly ten taels a month's salary, but for another reason.

Zhao Zheng is different from others, he is actually a time-traveler, who has crossed over from the earth, and he has a completely different view of this world from the natives.

He knew in his heart that this was actually a game world! Although the world is real, you can see and feel it, but it is built on the basis of an online game.

This online game is called "Horse Riding Rivers and Lakes", and the game is a martial arts world with fresh clothes and angry horses. In this world, there are powerful martial arts, beauties that captivate the country and the city, beautiful historical sites, and mysterious adventures!

Zhao Zheng likes this martial arts online game very much, and has been playing it for several years, and he has already played all kinds of things in the game.

Just half a month ago, he accidentally spilled a bottle of mineral water while playing a game, and the water dripped down the table into the case, causing a short circuit and electric sparks flying everywhere. His fingers touched the electricity, and he felt a stream of electricity travel through his body, and then he fainted, and when he woke up, he was a wanderer in this game world.

The homeless child, who had no name and no surname, was about fifteen years old, frail, malnourished, and had no effort. As a shell, it's really not good, but God didn't give Zhao Zheng a choice.

After crossing over, he learned that the place name here is called Qibao County, and the name of this county and town happens to match a novice city in the game "Zema Jianghu". Based on this, he began to suspect that this was the world in the game, and after many investigations, he confirmed that the guess was true.

Not only are the names of places the same as in the game world, but even some of the names, sects, and years are exactly the same.

In terms of time, it is not long after the launch of "Horse Riding Horses", and this gorgeous and colorful martial arts picture scroll has just been opened.

The game world of "Horse Race" is realistic, with a clear timeline and year name in the game, and as the game progresses, the time in the game is also advancing little by little. With this, Zhao Zheng can take the lead in judging what big events are about to happen in this world.

It was as if he were a reborn being, who had seen the future of this world.

Half a month has passed, and Zhao Zheng has accepted the reality of crossing and made detailed plans for the future.

He is a veteran player of "Horse Riding Rivers and Lakes", and he knows this online game well, he can use his understanding of this game to take the lead step by step, worship the best sect, learn the best exercises, and grab the sharpest blade!

He can make a big name in this martial arts world and realize the dream of a hot-blooded man riding the rivers and lakes.

If you want to break into the rivers and lakes, you naturally have to learn a martial art. In the territory of Qibao County, there are many martial arts sects, but the scale is very small, and it is not a climate, so it is really not the best choice. Zhao Zheng thought about it and screened out the best choice from this realm, and that was the Red Dust Inn!

This inn is a black shop, and there is no martial arts master in the store, but in another year, an evil man will pass through this place and stay in the inn.

This evil man stole a peerless martial arts book "Nine Veins and Six Yuan Sutra" from another martial arts master, which is a genuine top-grade martial arts, which not only records the mental methods used for cultivation, but also records several martial arts that are performed in conjunction with the mental methods.

In the game, the Red Dust Inn is a task location, and the content of the task is to steal this "Nine Veins and Six Yuan Sutra" from the body of this evil man, and return it to the martial arts master who lost his cheats. In the process of returning cheats, it can be learned, and as long as the value of good and evil is not negative, there is no need to worry about being punished.

This book of "Nine Veins and Six Yuan Sutras" is much better than the mental methods of those small sects, and it is an excellent choice for those who study martial arts for the first time.

In the game, this is a hidden quest that needs to be triggered by chance, and the first step of the quest is to pass the test of Mr. Bookkeeper's "Smiling Ghost" Wang Er and become a young man at the Red Dust Inn.

Zhao Zheng knew about this in advance, so he came to the bulletin board in Qibao County early and waited for several days, until today he finally waited for the "smiling ghost" Wang Er.

……

The first test soon came to Zhao Zheng's turn, he was already the last person who did not punch, and the previous candidates had been screened out by two-thirds, leaving only seven.

Zhao Zheng took a deep breath, stepped forward, and walked towards Wang Er. He was not sure in his heart, if he had changed before, he still had some strength, but after crossing over, his soul fell to a fifteen-year-old wanderer, and his physical strength was not as good as before, and it was really unknown whether he could pass the first test.

If he is eliminated in the first test, then Zhao Zheng will definitely cry without tears, and if he misses this task, he can only endure the pain and worship those small sects and learn some inferior mental methods. This world is very dangerous, and before he has the ability to protect himself, he can't go to other realms, so he can only temporarily settle in Qibao County to seek development.

"Punch out. Little dolls. Wang Er said with a smile. He is always smiling, and his smile is very ugly, which is why he got the nickname of the smiling ghost.

Zhao Zheng stood still, took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and secretly moved his middle finger forward, so that the middle finger stood out in front of him, he did this to gather his strength at one point and increase the pain caused by this punch.

The smiling ghost's eyes narrowed, and he keenly captured Zhao Zheng's small action, and his eyes showed appreciation, and his smile became even stronger.

"Hah!"

Zhao Zheng punched Wang Er's stomach firmly, and the fist instantly sank in, as if falling into a quagmire, and his strength suddenly disappeared. Before he could come back to his senses, a force came from the other party's stomach, which was not light or heavy, and flicked his hand back. It was just the right amount of force to allow him to withdraw his fist, but he didn't feel a strong impact.

"The martial arts are really magical, I punched him, but he didn't do anything at all. Only those who have reached a certain level of internal and external strength can do this. If I can learn the "Nine Veins and Six Yuan Sutra", it is estimated that it will not take long to reach his realm. Zhao Zheng secretly praised in his heart, and increased his yearning for martial arts.

Wang Er looked Zhao Zheng up and down a few times, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Little doll, your strength is not qualified, a little worse, but I see that you are clever and good at improvisation, so I will make an exception to count you through and see how you perform in the next two tests." ”

"Thank you, sir, for opening up." Zhao Zheng was overjoyed and made a long swing with his fists. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and in the strategy of the forum, the content of these three tests was clearly written, only the first one was a test of strength, and the other two tests were oral answers. He still remembers the answers to the two oral answers and is confident that he will pass the last two.

Wang Er no longer looked at Zhao Zheng, looked around at everyone, and said with a smile: "The first test, you people have all passed, it's time for the second test." To be a buddy in an inn, you can't just have strength, you have to be smart enough. I'm going to give you a question here, and you guys will answer it together, and whoever can answer it correctly will be considered a pass. ”;
