The steam in the house was curling, the sound of water was rattling, and from time to time a fresh breeze blew in through the window, attracting white steam to bend over it. The building is isolated in the wilderness, and looking out of the window, there is no human being in sight, only the rolling hills, and the remnants of the red.

Zhao Zheng soaked in the bath water, scrubbed the dirt on his body, looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, this fall rì is like his previous life, has slowly come to an end, when the rì head appears again, he will be greeted by a new world, a new rivers and lakes!

He is no longer the same person he used to be, but Zhao Zheng, the shopkeeper.

Although life has been turned upside down, no matter how it changes, you must try your best to live a good life. When he was a child, he used to hold all kinds of martial arts novels and couldn't sleep at night, and he longed for the image of the hero in the book, and now God has given him a chance to be a hero in person, and he will not let it go.

He has already made up his mind in his heart that after his martial arts are successful, he must go around to be chivalrous and righteous, eliminate violence and peace, and taste the taste of being a hero. In the previous life, he saw all kinds of injustice in the society, but because of his weak strength, he could only endure it silently, if he had strong power in this life, he would not endure it anymore, and he would shoot when it was time to make a move, not seeking to be famous in the world, but only to be worthy of his own heart!

Thinking of this, his desire for martial arts became even stronger, and he quietly put his mind into his mind and touched something magical.

In his mind, there was a clear suspension of something similar to the dialog box in the game, with quaint lace in the corners, and a line of words written in the middle of the blank space [Hint: The host's physical fitness is too low, and he is not a real martial artist yet, and he is not yet able to activate the system function].

At the beginning of Zhao Zheng's crossing, he had already discovered this line of words hidden in his mind, as long as his mind moved, this line of words would emerge, and as soon as the thought was closed, this line of words would disappear. Although this thing is magical, since even such an incredible thing as crossing has happened, there is nothing strange about this kind of thing, and he can accept it.

The prompt box of this line of words is exactly the same as the prompt box in the game, and Zhao Zheng suspects that the so-called system functions should refer to some functions in the game.

The hint said that he was not physically good and could not activate the system, and it seemed that when he reached a certain level of martial arts, he should be able to activate it. He had a strong hunch that this so-called system would bring him great benefits and be the foundation of his foothold in this martial arts world.

With the understanding of many major events, coupled with the help of this unknown system, Zhao Zheng's future seems to be infinitely bright, and the road has been paved with flowers.

"This world is jīng彩, and my future must be jīng彩." Zhao Zheng's eyes were scorching, his whole body was hot, and he was full of expectations for the future. He quickened the movement of his hands, rubbing his body rapidly, washing away the dirt from his body.

……

After washing, Zhao Zheng changed into the brown sè short brown given by Wang Er, although this set of clothes is coarse cloth, but it is clean and tidy, and it is quite comfortable to wear. Matching the clothes, there is also a hat with hair spikes, he put the hat on his head, and immediately had the feeling of being a little second in the shop.

Zhao Zheng stood in front of the bronze mirror on the table, looked left and right, and looked again, to his surprise, after this body was washed, it turned out to be very handsome, and it was a standard handsome face. This face has fair skin, upright facial features, a pair of sharp sword eyebrows, dark eyes, heroic eyebrows at the corners of the eyes, and an extremely upright nose.

"Yes, yes, it's really a bit of a young man's demeanor." Zhao Zheng couldn't help but be complacent, everyone has a love for beauty, who doesn't want to be handsome.

He looked at himself in ancient costumes, and his childlike heart suddenly rose, and he posed in front of the bronze mirror in a number of shapes, punching for a while, kicking for a while, and pretending to be a peerless master for a while, and having fun.

Just when Zhao Zheng was playing hard, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, and Wang Er urged outside: "Boy, have you washed it for so long?" ”

"Oh, it's been washed, and I'll be out right away!" Zhao Zheng didn't dare to delay any longer, tidied up the corners of his collar and clothes, opened the door and walked out of the house.

Wang Er was standing outside, he looked Zhao Zheng who had been cleaned up and down a few times, and said suspiciously: "I didn't expect your kid to look so good after washing." ”

"Thank you, sir, for the compliment." Zhao Zheng calmly accepted Wang Er's praise and smiled. Before today, he had been not very satisfied with this body, but today he finally had a little improvement and had a good impression of this body.

"Okay, you can go with me to see Shopkeeper Shen. What is missing in the inn is the shopkeeper, but he is not a white-faced student, no matter how good-looking you are, you have to work. Wang Er beckoned, led the way in front, and rushed to the third floor with Zhao Zheng.

The two came to Shen Luoxia's door, Wang Er stretched out his wrinkled hand, and buckled the door a few times regularly, first three times quickly, and then two times slowly, obviously implying a mystery.

"I'm getting dressed, you guys are at the door for a moment." Shen Luoyan's lazy and flattering voice came from the room, the voice was beautiful and beautiful, tactful like a song.

It seems that it has always been a woman's privilege to make people wait, and the smile of the smiling ghost turned into a wry smile, shook his head slightly, and waited obediently outside.

After a full stick of incense, the door of the house was opened, and at the moment of opening, a faint pleasant fragrance of flowers wafted out of the room.

The fragrance of flowers is not as good as the fragrance of people, Shen Luoxia held the hair of the double spirit snake sideburns that had just been combed, and looked at the two people outside the door with silky eyes, especially Zhao Zheng's body for a few more looks.

"Wang Er, I asked you to recruit a shop junior for me, how can you bring me a noodle child back? Can he do the work in the inn with his bones? Shen Luoxia retracted her gaze, and there was a lot of dissatisfaction in her words. Although Zhao Zheng's appearance is good, she has never been interested in young chicks, and only has a good impression of real men.

"Shopkeeper, don't look at this doll's young age, but his strength is not small, and he has a bright mind and knows how to read, so I chose him." Wang Er hurriedly pasted gold on Zhao Zheng's face.

"Since you say so, let's look at it for a few days." Shen Luoxia stroked her jet-black hair a few times, turned her eyes to Zhao Zheng again, and asked about Zhao Zheng's name and background.

Zhao Zheng answered them one by one and made up a set of rhetoric. He knows the names of the world's places well, and it is effortless to make up a life experience, with a nose and eyes.

Shen Luoxia yawned fragrantly, leaned on the door frame softly, and said: "Zhao Zheng, where you work, you have to know where the rules are, the inn has the rules of the inn, and the rivers and lakes also have the rules of the rivers and lakes, you are still young, not deeply involved in the world, you don't know the rules of the inn, and you don't know the rules of the rivers and lakes." Now that you're new to the school, you can't expect to learn all the rules all at once. You don't have to go to the lobby to greet guests these days, just go to the back kitchen to help with the work, and when you understand the rules of this industry, and remember the price of the dishes in the inn, then help in the lobby. ”

"Okay, don't worry, shopkeeper Shen, I will definitely do a good job." Zhao Zheng said respectfully.

"Well, if you are qualified for this job, I will not treat you badly, my inn provides food and lodging, and the salary is several times that of other inns. It's just ......" Shen Luoxia dragged out a long tone, and said mysteriously, "My Hongchen Inn is a bit special, there will be some extra work for you to do, this kind of work, other inns don't have." ”

"What job?" Zhao Zheng asked knowingly, in fact, he had already guessed most of the work, the unique work of the black store must be related to plotting against customers, otherwise there is no need to say it mysteriously.

"You've just arrived, and it's not time to tell you these things, so let's talk about it when you're familiar with this place." Shen Luoxia sold a pass, did not answer directly, and looked at Wang Er instead, "Okay, you take him to the back kitchen." By the way, introduce him to the people in the store. ”

"Okay, he'll leave it to me, you can rest assured that you're in charge." Wang Er nodded in agreement and led Zhao Zheng downstairs.

After the level of Shen Shopkeeper, Zhao Zheng can be regarded as the second shopkeeper here, but it is still a probationary period for the time being, if he is not physically strong and cannot do the work here, I am afraid that he will be dismissed. But he won't let this happen, and he will definitely seize this good opportunity to obtain top-grade martial arts cheats.

Wang Er took Zhao Zheng downstairs, explaining the work and rules in the inn as he walked, and if he met other juniors or cooks in the store, he would stop and introduce them. Through Wang Er's introduction, Zhao Zheng got to know all the people in the entire inn.

Counting the new arrival Zhao Zheng, there are a total of eight people in the Hongchen Inn, including a shopkeeper, a bookkeeper, two cooks, and four shopkeepers, among these people, four of them have kung fu. These four people are all NPCs with names and surnames in "Zema Jianghu", and Zhao Zheng has seen images in the forum before and has a certain impression.

The people in this inn, except for Zhao Zheng, all have kung fu, except for Shen Luoxia and Wang Er, the other two people with higher martial arts in the store are the chef "Human Tuzi" Ren Qianqiu, and the shopkeeper Song Kuaizui, as for the martial arts of the rest of the people, it is not worth mentioning.

When it comes to the level of martial arts, of course, among the four people, Shen Luoxia is the highest, among the martial arts she has learned, the highest attainment is a light skill called "Luo Yanbu", which is as light as smoke, erratic, and can play the enemy in a radial area.

Along the way, Wang Er gave an overview of all aspects of the inn, and then handed Zhao Zheng over to the kitchen, and asked Zhao Zheng to help in the kitchen first.

The person in charge of the kitchen is called Ren Qianqiu, nicknamed Tuzi, and he is good at using the Cu Ding Knife Technique. Because he had previously killed a man who had stolen his wife with a kitchen knife, he had earned the terrible nickname of a personal butcher. Although his nickname is terrible, he is quite kind, and he especially likes to sing mountain songs when cooking.

After Wang Er left, Ren Qianqiu chatted briefly with Zhao Zheng, and then unceremoniously assigned a lot of work to Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng worked hard, picking vegetables for a while, washing vegetables for a while, chopping vegetables for a while, and was busy until the evening before he had time to rest. He was so tired that the bones in his body were falling apart, his shoulders and waist were aching, and his fingers were blistered and stabbed. For the first time, he experienced the hardships of the shopkeeper and understood why he had to choose a strong one when choosing a shopkeeper. is like this kind of drudgery, if he was in the past, he would say that he would not do anything, but in order to be able to soar in the future, he can only grit his teeth and persist now.

On the second watch, the meals in the inn were all dispersed, and most of the guests returned to their rooms to sleep, and only a few people remained in the lobby.

It was only at this time that it was the turn of the chef in the store to eat with the juniors, a few plates of home-cooked side dishes were served, and someone opened a jar of fragrant sorghum wine.

Zhao Zheng washed up with the water in the copper basin and dragged his tired body out of the kitchen. As soon as he went out, he caught a glimpse of a figure tiptoeing down the stairs to the third floor.

The person who went upstairs was none other than the shirtless man who ordered the famous dish of the town store "Candle Night in the Cave Room", at this time it was already the second watch, he came to the third floor as agreed, and knocked on the door of the female shopkeeper with a hot face.

It wasn't long before the door creaked open, but the people inside didn't come out. The shirtless man rubbed his hands, rushed into the house, and closed the door with his hand.

"Hehe, another fat sheep has taken the bait, and our shopkeeper's room is not something that anyone can enter." Behind Zhao Zheng came Ren Qianqiu's rough laughter.

Zhao Zheng didn't talk, he listened carefully, and vaguely heard a few soft noises coming from the female shopkeeper's room, which seemed to be the sound of a fight, but the sound quickly disappeared, and the female shopkeeper's room returned to calm.

"Hehe, you'll never see that man again." Ren Qianqiu patted Zhao Zheng's shoulder, stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"Why can't you see him?" Zhao positive sè slight change.

"You'll find out later." The human butcher smiled, and without breaking the truth, he strode towards the table.

In the game, the Red Dust Inn is designed as a black shop, and if a player with a negative value of good and evil enters, he will be assassinated by the people in the store, especially the female shopkeeper Shen Luoxia, whose attack is extremely fierce.

In reality, of course, it is impossible for the black store to commit crimes so blatantly, and they all have to be done in secret. Ren Qianqiu said that Zhao Zheng would never see the shirtless man again, and the implication should be that the shirtless man was dead, and the living person, of course, could not see the dead person again.

"This is the legendary black shop." Zhao Zheng secretly sighed, and in the warm greetings of the second child in the other stores, the last one sat at the table.
