For a week, Zhao Chen was active in the small courtyard of the Zhao family, and the occasional passers around him usually took a sneak peek, and then they were busy with their own things.

The Zhao family, where Zhao Chen is located, used to be a new family in the northern part of the large city in the Xuanwu Domain, but for some unknown reasons, it was attacked by a mysterious force fifteen years ago, and finally retreated to a small city on the edge of the Xuanwu Domain-Jianye City.

However, the Zhao family used to be a close to second-rate family, and in this small Jianye City, it can barely be called a top force, although it cannot be compared with the top forces of those large cities and even super cities, but in Jianye City, only the Zhong family and the Xiao family can compete with it.

The Zhao family has about 140 subordinates, including 256 ingenious maids and more than 100 family members, and the remaining more than 10 people are in charge of some of the Zhao family's properties on the streets of Jianyecheng, responsible for sales, bookkeeping and other work.

Zhao Chen's surname is peaceful, although he is mostly a little cowardly and introverted in front of outsiders, but he treats people sincerely, there is no concept of respect and inferiority in his bones, he is very good to the people under these families, so he is also very popular with everyone, and this body skin is not bad, the appearance is excellent, the skin is white and red, the lips are red and the teeth are white, and the black eyes are very smart, which makes people feel like it at a glance.

And Zhao Chen is now more mature and steady, less cowardly and introverted, and his appearance of a teenager and an old man is even more eyeballs.

After a week of all-out tempering his body, Zhao Chen's level has risen to level 4, which is about the same as three stars of the human level in the realm of Xuan Gong cultivation, but on the surface, he is still a person who has cultivated to nothing, and there is not the slightest breath of mystical power in his body, even the most powerful super powerhouse in the Dream Continent cannot see his strength.

Zhao Chen doesn't care about this, he doesn't care about other people's opinions, as long as he has strength, not to mention that pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is also what he is best at.

Level 4, with his combat awareness, he can already compete with a four-star cultivator at the rank level, but he is not very satisfied with this, after all, in this small Jianye City alone, Zhao Chen knows that there are several little geniuses who have broken through to the five-star level of the scholar level, and even rumored that the eldest young master of the Zhong family is likely to have broken through to the realm of the division level.

Zhao Chen's pressure is not small!

"Whew!" "Whew!" "Whew!"

Panting for heavy breathing, Zhao Chen was holding a pair of hard stones in both hands, and the muscles of his whole body were slightly raised, and the feeling of weakness that he gave people a few days ago had turned into a feeling of strength and softness in harmony with each other.

Immersed in the pleasure of the rapid increase in strength, Zhao Chen wantonly enjoyed such a feeling.

"Young Master!" The sudden sound interrupted Zhao Chen's cultivation, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a young maid standing not far away, and after shouting timidly, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it casually.

"Midori, what's the matter?" Zhao Chen asked with a smile.

Xiao Lu is a maid who specializes in serving him, barely called a personal maid, life problems, in addition to warming the bed to sleep, the rest are basically responsible for Xiao Lu, these days Zhao Chen has basically understood Xiao Lu's surname, soft and weak, a little introverted, not much talk, beautiful and lovely, diligent, very well-behaved, very likable.

"The master asked you to go to the hall." Little Green said softly.

Zhao Chen put on his coat and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what my father is looking for me?" ”

Xiao Lu shook his head and said, "I don't know." But the young master will know when he goes. ”

Nodding, Zhao Chen ordered: "You ask them to pack up these two stones, and let someone order a gun for me, and I will go to the hall." After speaking, Zhao Chen walked towards the main courtyard, which was about a hundred meters away from this small courtyard, and it was soon there.

"Dad, I'm here, what's the matter?" Zhao Chen asked impatiently.

"Chen'er, haven't you taken the first step yet? But it's only been a week, don't worry. Sensing that Zhao Chen's cultivation was still completely gone, Zhao Qing first comforted him, and then got down to business, "I asked you to come this time because I wanted you to do my father a favor." Our Zhao family's business has declined sharply recently, and if it continues like this, at most one year, the Zhao family's stores should be closed to make way for Xian. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Qing suddenly smiled: "Forget it, you are still young, you shouldn't understand these things." Now my father has given you a task, as long as you can do it well, then my Zhao family's business will be fine. ”

"What task?" Zhao Chen blinked.

"Go to your Uncle Xiao's house and pass a message." Zhao Qing's face flashed unnaturally, and he looked a little embarrassed.

"Huh? Why did you go in person? Wouldn't it be better that way? Zhao Chen's small brow furrowed.

"Where is so much nonsense, let you go, you will go." Zhao Qing patted his son's forehead, pretending to be vicious, and then sighed again, "Alas! It's not that I don't want to go, but the Zhong family is too pressing, and they pay attention to my movements all the time, once they know that my Zhao family and the Xiao family have formed an alliance, the Zhao family will inevitably face more fierce suppression. ”

Zhao Chen already vaguely knew the situation of the Zhao family, there were three major families in Jianye City, namely the Zhao family, the Zhong family of the blacksmith family and the Xiao family, a business family, the Zhao family was forced to parachute into this small city from NATO City, and the power was shallow, and at the same time, it also posed a fundamental threat to the Zhong family, but the Xiao family had many ways, and there was no need to worry about the threat of the Zhao family.

Under such circumstances, the Zhong family, a local family, would naturally unite with many small forces to suppress the Zhao family in secret.

After so many years, the wealth of the Zhao family has slowly worn out, and it can last for a year or two at most, and Zhao Qing has a good relationship with Xiao Ding, the head of the Xiao family, so he wants to form an alliance with him, but Zhao Qing himself can't move, and if he moves, he is likely to be fully suppressed by the Zhong family and collapse.

Therefore, in such a situation, only Zhao Chen, a young man who can speak but is just an ignorant child in the eyes of others, has a certain chance of solving the crisis of the Zhao family.

Zhao Chen muttered in his heart: "Blacksmith family? It seems that I used to be an immortal-level forger, right? ”

Shaking his head, Zhao Chen looked at Zhao Qing: "Dad wants me to pass on your thoughts, right?" No problem, I'll go to Uncle Shaw's. After speaking, Zhao Chen walked out of the hall of the main courtyard in small steps.

Zhao Qing looked at his son's figure dumbfounded, and said, "When did this child become so smart?" ”

After a long time, Zhao Qing came back to his senses and showed a relieved smile: "It's not a big deal that my Zhao family's kind is smart, Chen'er finally doesn't need me to worry about it anymore, it's just ......"

Thinking of the enchanting and boundless shadow in his mind, Zhao Qing slowly shook his head and sighed: "If Xinmeng knew that our children were so sensible, she would be very happy, right?" The name Xinmeng seemed to have great magic, making Zhao Qing's face suddenly full of tenderness and honey.

Jianye City is not big, at most it is about the same size as the urban area of the prefecture-level city in Huaxia, and the Xiao family and the Zhao family are also relatively close, half an hour later, Zhao Chen came to the Xiao family under the escort of the two family members.

"The Xiao family's mansion, idlers are not allowed to enter!" The gatekeepers blocked Zhao Chen's way.

Zhao Chen frowned and said, "I'm Zhao Chen of the Zhao family, is Uncle Xiao at home?" "He asked this politely, if someone had stopped him like this in the 'dream' back then, he would have been cut in half by him a long time ago.

Just as the guards were about to go in and make an announcement to Xiao Ding, an arrogant word made him stop and look at the person in a daze.

"Yo, isn't this the Zhao family's little waste? Why, a year has passed, and it is still spinning under the human-level one-star? It's amazing! Naked ridicule and insults came from the mouth of a gorgeously dressed teenager, whose gaze was mostly arrogant and disdainful.

There was an extremely good-looking girl standing next to the young man, if Zhao Chen was not mistaken, this girl was Xiao Ding's daughter Xiao Yi, one of the few young geniuses in Jianye City, with a scholar-level eight-star cultivation, and standing behind the boy and the girl were several guards dressed as family members.

And this young man is the second young master of the Zhong family, one of the three major families in Jianye City, and his cultivation has already reached the six-star level of the scholar level, and Zhao Chen is not his opponent for the time being.

"Zhongwei, I don't seem to have anything to do with you, do I?" Zhao Chen looked at the young man lightly, and a nameless fire suddenly broke out in his heart.

Zhong Wei was stunned for a while, he didn't expect Zhao Chen to dare to talk back, this is definitely a surprising thing for Zhao Chen, who is usually fed up with his bullying, Zhao Chen's surname is only cowardly, but he has a deep understanding, of course, Zhong Wei is just a little surprised, he hasn't seen Zhao Chen in his eyes, after all, he is not a level of character.

Xiao Yi also moved her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Zhao Chen with a little surprise.

Is this still Zhao Chen, who used to be beaten and scolded like that?

Although Zhong Wei didn't take Zhao Chen in his eyes, he was also a little annoyed that Zhao Chen dared to refute himself, and the arrogance on his face was even stronger, and he said an embarrassing sentence: "Oh, indeed, whether you are a waste or not has nothing to do with me, it has something to do with your waste father, and it is estimated that only that kind of waste can raise such a little waste as you." ”

These words were so vicious that even Xiao Yi on the side couldn't help but squeeze her brows together, and a touch of disgust flashed on her face.

However, compared to Zhong Wei, she didn't take Zhao Chen in her eyes, Zhong Wei was at least qualified to stand with her, at least he was still a six-star cultivator, but Zhao Chen couldn't even be called a cultivator, an ordinary person could casually knock him to the ground, so she didn't pay any attention to the waste in her eyes as before.

Clenched his fist lightly, and then released it again, Zhao Chen was just about to speak, when a crisp voice suddenly sounded in his head.

"Ding! Trigger the only hidden quest - Zhao Chen's Wrath, due to the abnormal change in the system during the traversal process, any quest triggered by the player will become a mandatory surname quest, and the player must accept it. ”

The only hidden mission at the gold level!

Zhao Chen's heart was extremely bitter, the difficulty of the golden task was undoubted, and the only hidden task was generally the most difficult task among all types of tasks, which was not much worse than the difficulty of the immortal-level task!

By the way, the tasks, equipment, pets, monsters, etc. in 'Fantasy' can be divided into seven levels, namely ordinary, bronze, silver, gold, immortal, god-level, and the legendary super god level, the only exception is the level division of two auxiliary professions, the cooking master and alchemist are divided into five levels, that is, level one to five.

"Competition?"

Zhao Chen almost didn't have any hope for this, with his fourth-level caste, plus all kinds of means and additional abilities, at most it was comparable to the three-star of the scholar, and the four-star of the seven-star could threaten his life, and in the face of Zhongwei of the six-star of the second-level class, Zhao Chen's chance of winning was infinitely close to 0.
