Chapter 4 First Experience of the Lottery
When I got home from school, after Jiang Cheng cooked the meal, he opened the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Jiang Cheng planned to learn about the situation of the "Battle of the Boundary Bridge" first, so as not to blacken his eyes.
According to Jiang Cheng's understanding, the battle of Jieqiao, there is no record in the history books that Zhao Yun participated in the war, but the overhead bridge section specially designed by Luo Guanzhong, the author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in order to create Zhao Yun's great image.
Jiangcheng turned over "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" when he was in junior high school, but what impressed me more was the plots such as Changban Slope and borrowing the east wind, and I forgot the name of the "Battle of the Boundary Bridge", so now take it out and revisit it.
"In the Battle of Jieqiao, the two sides involved in the battle were two warlords in the late Han Dynasty: Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao......
Zhao Yun went to Gongsun Zhan, and happened to encounter Gongsun Zhan's small defeat, and was chased and killed by Yuan Shao's general Wen Chou, and he was embarrassed. Zhao Yun rescued Gongsun Chan and officially joined Gongsun Chan, and the Battle of the Boundary Bridge was also Zhao Yun's debut and fame battle in the Romance......"
Closing the book, Jiang Cheng only felt speechless for a while.
Combined with the situation of the battle at that time, he already understood that the bearded general who fled north with the defeated army was most likely Gongsun Zhan!
"My mission was originally to stop Wen Chou and save Gongsun Zhan. As a result, I was stabbed by a friendly NPC......"
Jiang Cheng supported his forehead, this first battle on the spiritual battlefield was really a failure.
"Now that the situation is clear, let's try again. "Jiang Cheng entered the spiritual battlefield for the second time.
This time, when he first saw Gongsun Zhan, he shouted to identify himself.
Gongsun Chan was "overjoyed", and after leaving Jiangcheng broken, he continued to flee with the defeated soldiers.
Jiang Cheng encountered a dozen Yuan Jun's pursuit squads. With the attribute of [White Horse Yicong Zhao Yun] that is far stronger than that of small soldiers, he killed three Yuan soldiers, but after all, he was not familiar with horse warfare and was outnumbered, and was stabbed in the back by a spear.
"This kind of extremely realistic 'game' is really repulsive......"
Jiang Cheng recalled the touch of the gun smashing the soldier's skull, and the pain of being pierced by the enemy's spear. The taste of killing and being killed is very uncomfortable, and I feel like throwing up.
In the spiritual battlefield, the pain of being cut and pierced in the body is no different from reality. The only difference is that the moment of death pops up consciousness. Otherwise, you will die several times a day, and your spirit will have to collapse in the long run.
Jiang Cheng is just a 15-year-old high school student, not a battle-hardened warrior, nor a robot without emotions. In the face of such an extremely real battlefield, he inevitably had a hint of evasion.
However, Jiang Cheng was still determined to continue to break through. He was originally a character who did not admit defeat, and he was killed once by Yuan Jun's soldiers, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't fight back.
"I don't have Zhao Yun's riding skills and spearmanship, so it's better to abandon my horse and abandon my gun, and choose to use a sword in foot combat!"
Jiang Cheng entered the Spiritual Battlefield for the third time, and after talking to Gongsun Zhan, he fought with more than a dozen Yuan Jun squads again.
This time, Jiang Cheng hung the silver spear on the victory hook, turned over and dismounted, drew his sword, and fought with Yuan's team.
Although he has not practiced swordsmanship specifically, every time Jiang Cheng conducts reflex training, he uses a wooden sword to block foam rubber balls. A sword in your hand is at least much easier to use than a spear you've never touched.
This attempt made a lot of progress, and Jiang Cheng killed a full six Yuan soldiers before being killed.
After the last two spiritual battlefields, possessing Zhao Yun to fight, Jiang Cheng's consciousness reflex speed increased a little, and he once again felt the "slowness" of his body movements.
"You must practice 'technical combat'! Whether it is spear or swordsmanship, you must at least be proficient in using it. In this way, Zhao Yun's attribute advantages can be better played. ”
Martial arts, a proper noun in the Lingzi era, means the art of fighting.
Before the first year of high school, students mainly exercise tenacity, agility, and improve physical fitness. After the division of civil and military classes in the second year of high school, the warrior class has a technical fighting class to teach students the fighting skills of effectively causing damage.
Some students from well-off families began to receive professional technical training as early as junior high school or even elementary school, not to mention those who have a strong family background and whose parents are seal warriors.
Jiang Cheng turned out the textbook of his sister Jiang Yanyue's sophomore year of high school.
Looking at the handwriting on the textbook, Jiang Cheng thought of his sister.
When Jiang Yanyue was divided into two classes in high school, he chose the warrior class, but after one semester, he took the initiative to apply to transfer back to the cultural class. In the end, she was admitted to Xijing University with excellent cultural results and became the golden phoenix flying out of Putang Village.
It was not easy to be admitted to a university in the Lingzi era, and there were only eight universities in the whole of China, and the admission rate did not exceed 1.6 percent! Those who could be admitted to the university were basically students from high schools in the base city, as well as a small number of top students from Acropolis-level high schools; college students like Jiang Yanyue who came from a village community were extremely rare, not to mention unique.
It's a pity that the college students in the culture class are not as valued as the warrior class, and although Jiang Yanyue has become a very rare college student in the Lingzi era, she can only get the qualification to live in the city by herself, and she can't change the fate of the family.
If it weren't for the bonus given by the village community, Jiang Yanyue's tuition might not have been paid.
Theoretically, Jiang would need to wait another three years until she graduated from college and found a stable job in the base city before she could find a way to help other family members obtain city residency qualifications.
Now Jiang Cheng wants to seize the opportunity of the Jinghai City Warrior Selection Examination and enter the warrior class of Jinghai No. 1 Middle School - so that he can directly help his parents obtain the residence qualification of Jinghai City.
The residents of the village community are always facing an existential crisis. Zhou Yunfei's father, Zhou Tielong, is the captain of the joint defense team, and Jiang Cheng occasionally hears from Zhou Yunfei that a certain village community has been attacked by wandering demons, and dozens or even hundreds of people have been killed or injured, but the village community does not allow these news to be disseminated.
Comparatively, the Acropolis has walls and is guarded by city heroes, which is much safer than the village community. A higher-level base city, not to mention.
Jiang Cheng opened the technical boxing textbook, skipped the previous boxing and leg techniques, and went straight to the chapter of "Basic Swordsmanship".
He had flipped through this textbook several times before because of his interest, but he was just looking at it. Now I really have the mentality of learning, concentrate on memorizing and reciting the tips and essentials of the movements, and also use the wooden stick as a sword to practice, and the degree of seriousness has increased several times.
By the time Jiang's father and Jiang's mother came home from work in the village factory, Jiang Cheng was already sweating profusely.
"Xiaocheng, you practice martial arts so hard, do you want to enter the warrior class?"
At the dinner table, Jiang's mother asked curiously, "Didn't your sister say that the warrior class of the village community has no future, so let you choose the cultural class?"
Dad Jiang also stopped his chopsticks and looked over.
The living conditions of the students in the village community are generally poor, and the so-called "poor and rich in martial arts" do not have sufficient meat and spiritual food to supplement nutrition, and it is difficult for the students in the village community warrior class to become successful. The gap in material conditions is difficult to make up for by innate qualifications.
When Jiang Yanyue was just a sophomore in high school, she chose the warrior class, and only after a semester did she realize that her future was bleak, so she transferred to the culture class. Fortunately, she was talented and intelligent, and it took a year and a half to study on her own, and she was able to be admitted to university, but after all, it was still delayed for half a year.
So before Jiang Yanyue left, the advice to Jiang Cheng was to choose the cultural class directly.
"Mom, Teacher Yan said something yesterday......"
Jiang Cheng told the matter of the "warrior selection examination". He didn't tell his family because he thought he had little hope. Now that the hope of getting the registration qualification has increased greatly, there is no need to hide this matter.
"Five recommended places are just qualifications to take the exam, right?" Jiang Ma frowned, there was a trace of worry, "Even if you get the recommended places, you will have to compete with other villages, mainly the children in the Acropolis......"
"It's a good thing that you have this heart. Dad Jiang put down the bowl, "Your mother and I both support you." ”
Jiang Cheng nodded: "Dad, Mom, don't worry." If I can't be selected, I will honestly enter the culture class. I'm not as smart as my sister and can be admitted to college, but it's definitely no problem to get a high school diploma, and I won't have to worry about finding a job in the future. ”
After eating, Jiang Cheng went to the small yard to feed the chickens, and continued to ponder with the technical attack textbook.
The window was not closed tightly, and Jiang's father's deep voice came from the house: "Don't sell the eggs, cook two for the child every day, and kill a chicken tomorrow ......"
"Whoever kills, it's all laying hens. ”
"I'll catch a few more chickens in two days......"
Jiang Cheng drove a few chickens back to the chicken coop, stared at the fence of the small yard for a while, and then took a bath and went to sleep.
Lying on the bed, Jiang Cheng silently recited: "Lottery." ”
This is the mental fluctuation point obtained from Jiang's father and Jiang's mother, a total of 32 points. Counting the previous savings, it has already exceeded 100 points.
Jiang Cheng's vision suddenly became illusory, and he instantly came to an ethereal mist space. In the thick mist, there was a small sapling that had just sprouted two new shoots.
"It turns out that the mysterious seed with me as the host has sprouted and grown into a small sapling?
Jiang Cheng wanted to step forward and touch the little sapling. But when he swiped his palm, he only felt a piece of air, and the small sapling seemed to be just a projection.
A drop of crystal dew, condensed on the bud of the small sapling, flew over.
The closer you get to Jiangcheng, the bigger the dewdrops, and when you come to Jiangcheng, you are already the size of a basketball.
Puffy, the dew is cracking.
A transparent vial appeared in front of Jiang Cheng.
"You have obtained the Fighting Spirit Elixir (Small). ”
