In the third week of December, Xu Ran still went to the spiritual thorn practice room to practice the spirit thorn every time he logged in to the game, and then went to the blacksmith shop twice a day to strike iron.

When Xu Ran logged in to the game on Saturday, his personal information had a new change: mental power 14 (originally 13); Strength: 17; Stamina: 17 (was 16); HP: 140.

His first spirit thorn of the week was able to be successfully launched in about 1 second at the earliest. After reaching 14 on Saturday, Xu Ran returned to the blacksmith shop to strike iron after firing the fourth spirit thorn in the practice room. By Sunday night, the interval between his fourth and third spirit stabs had been shortened to 30 seconds.

This week, Xu Ran made a profit of 49 silver coins by striking iron, and he paid 28 copper coins for practicing spiritual thorns.

As of Sunday (that is, December 20), Xu Ran's personal game currency has accumulated: 39 gold coins, 8 silver coins and 1 copper coin.

Xu Ran's daily dumbbell workout is now a combination of 85 kg, and this weight feels just right for him now.

When Kong Xiuying rented the site to prepare to raise some sheep, Xu Ran also made up his mind to move to Zhongzhou City. He asked Kong Xiuying to see if there were any existing houses for sale in his community, and Xu Ran was ready to buy a three-bedroom house. Xu Ran also saw that community when he came to Zhongzhou City last time, and he felt that the conditions were good. Kong Xiuying selected two sets of apartment types in the community, took photos of the room type information, price and the situation in the house type and sent it to Xu Ran, who decided by Xu Ran.

Xu Ran rushed to Zhongzhou City on Saturday night, and Kong Xiuying invited several group friends from Zhongzhou City to have dinner in the restaurant that night to pick up Xu Ran; Several group friends in Zhongzhou City heard that Xu Ran came to Zhongzhou City to buy a house, and they all said that they wanted to accompany Xu Ran to consult together; Xu Ran told everyone to ask Kong Xiuying to accompany him when buying a house, and then ask everyone to help when they bought furniture.

On Sunday morning, Xu Ran, accompanied by Kong Xiuying, went to the community to see the house, and he selected one of the two houses introduced by Kong Xiuying, and directly swiped the card to buy the house.

The walls of the houses in this community have been painted and whitewashed, and the ground is made of cement mortar. The living conditions of the community are also good, and the rooms are heated and gased; Since Xu Ran bought a house with cash, he also gave a parking space for an underground garage when he bought the house.

Because he didn't want to delay the time for everyone and himself to enter the dream game in the afternoon, Xu Ran put the time to buy furniture and other daily necessities on the morning of next Monday. Originally, Xu Ran also planned to go to the street with Kong Xiuying at night to have a look and plan what to buy, but at noon, Li Xin called one by one to inform Xu Ran that he would pick up Xu Ran at night, and several group friends from Zhongzhou City had another small gathering on this night. Except for Chen Xiangxiang, who asked for leave due to the inconvenience of her work in the boxing gym and asked Kong Xiuying and Xu Ran to persuade her to leave early, the rest of the people had dinner together until half past 21.

Because Xu Ran's newly bought house does not have the living conditions for the time being, he lives in the hotel on Saturday and Sunday.

Xu Ran's cartoon script didn't finish a new part this week, and he is now planning to write a script for an animated film from the "Qin Dynasty" period. Due to the many things that happened this week, Li Xin did not write a new cartoon script and send it to Kong Xiuying.

Shi Qingsheng is from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Monday to Friday this week for the students of the women's sanda short-term training course, and from 14 to 16 p.m. for the men's sanda short-term training course.

For the students of the women's short training class, Shi Qingsheng played the basic moves of the Jade Goddess Boxing practiced by Chen Xiangxiang in the training venue, providing interested students with learning and reference, those female sanda athletes who have received Shi Qingsheng's training know the beauty of these basic boxing moves, and follow the video to practice the basic boxing moves of the Jade Goddess Boxing in their spare time.

After the run-in of the men's short course last week, the coaches and students have become familiar with each other's teaching methods and students' learning habits, and the teaching work is normal this week.

There is no arguing that the students can feel that they are making significant progress and that the money and time spent are worth it.

Shi Qingsheng's work in Liu Jun's martial arts hall is also going on normally, what makes Shi Qingsheng happy is that his girlfriend Li Xiaoyu is now fully qualified to guide the basic moves of Fuhu Fist and Jade Goddess Fist, Shi Qingsheng's morning exercise with Li Xiaoyu every morning is now guiding Li Xiaoyu to learn Sanda. Li Xiaoyu is also insisting on using dumbbells every day to exercise strength.

Shi Qingsheng still goes to the dream game to herd sheep on Saturday and Sunday mornings. In the past two days, he has been able to slowly adapt to grazing two sheep next to the bushes, and no sheep have been injured in these two days, but the wolf was killed by him. In the past two days, Shi Qingsheng herded sheep and earned 4 copper coins in the game.

As of this weekend (that is, December 20), Shi Qingsheng's personal game currency has accumulated 3 silver coins and 6 bronze coins.

Chen Xiangxiang still follows the teaching videos downloaded from the computer to learn animation production this week, Monday to Friday morning.

On Monday to Friday afternoons and Saturday and Sunday mornings, Chen Xiangxiang is a dream game activity.

Since Chen Xiangxiang's mental power value has reached 10 after wearing the jade bracelet, she now has to prioritize earning enough money to learn advanced boxing techniques, and at the same time wants to improve her strength value, she continues to choose to hand-sew armor in the clothing shop from Monday to Sunday this week, without considering using auxiliary tools to improve efficiency.

With a semi-finished product that was 90% completed last week, a total of 7 pieces of leather armor were sewn from Monday to Thursday, and a semi-finished product was 30% completed.

When she came to the clothing store on Friday, Boss Shan asked her if she would like to increase the content of her work: starting with staking and marking on leather goods, then cutting, riveting leather goods, and finally sewing leather armor, each completed piece earns 8---12 copper coins, the reason why the income is not fixed is to be determined by the amount of leftovers left by the player, the less leftovers, the higher the income.

After listening to the shopkeeper's explanation, Chen Xiangxiang promised to have a fresh job adjustment, firstly, it is very likely to increase her daily part-time income, and secondly, it also satisfies her desire for knowledge.

When the first time she used the blanking template to stake out on the fur, in order to be careful and save the fur, she took the template and carefully compared it on the back of the fur, intending to save the material as much as possible, Chen Xiangxiang also knew that this was very time-consuming, but she calculated that although it would be a bit time-consuming for the first time, but with this careful arrangement, she could do it in the future, and at that time it would be twice the result with half the effort.

Tailoring is to use scissors to cut the fur with a good line into the required leather blocks, Chen Xiangxiang thinks that the scissors may not be sharp enough, and it is quite laborious to cut the leather; Riveting leather goods is simple, as long as the eye is fast, the efficiency is high; The final sewn leather armor is familiar to Chen Xiangxiang.

When the day's work is over, Chen Xiangxiang feels more tired than usual, because lofting and marking on leather goods takes more brain effort than simply sewing armor, and if you want to save raw materials more perfectly, you have to spend extra brain power.

On Friday, she finished the 30% finished semi-finished product, and only 20% finished the armor she had sewn herself.

On Saturday, Chen Xiangxiang thought that it should be efficient, because yesterday I had rehearsed how to arrange the template on the fur is the most economical, I didn't expect it to be the case, because the size of each piece of fur is different, so there is no unified fine arrangement of the template model, Chen Xiangxiang saw that there was no way to stake out according to yesterday's calculation, she is urgent, she likes to talk about pleasure, so she simply does not bother to arrange the template carefully, directly according to the feeling to arrange the template, how much can be saved.

By the end of her part-time job on Sunday, she had a total of 2 pieces of leather armor that she had completed from drawing threads to sewing in the past three days, and these 2 pieces earned 2 silver coins, and a semi-finished product was 50% completed, and the semi-finished product that was only 30% completed on Thursday was also completed on Friday, earning 5 copper coins.

This week, Chen Xiangxiang earned a total of 3.5 + 2 + 0.5 = 6 silver coins in the game.

As of this weekend (that is, December 20), Chen Xiangxiang's personal game currency has accumulated 8 silver coins and 5 copper coins.

Chen Xiangxiang's coaching work at Chen Yong's women's gym is going on as normal this week. Even in the two days that Xu Ran came to Zhongzhou City, everyone advised her not to take leave to accompany the guests, so as not to affect her normal work in the gym.

This week, the shopkeeper who sold them the jade bracelet did not call Chen Xiangxiang again, but several other stores that had contact with them called her or Kong Xiuying, and they were invited to see the goods a few times, but they did not find any goods that could increase their spiritual power. Still haven't found anything that can increase mental power.

Last week, the National Security Bureau secretly installed surveillance cameras in the room of the shop where they traded jade bracelets, and also recorded several inspections or transactions in that room by the store owner as a middleman, some of which were also attended by the man surnamed Zhang, who sold the jade bracelets, although the goods he was carrying did not take place during this period.

After analyzing the surveillance video and seeing the goods in person, it was preliminarily judged that the goods he handled should be from the Tang tomb, but I don't know if the jade bracelet is also from the same tomb. The man surnamed Zhang had no criminal record before the investigation, and it can basically be determined that he is part of a tomb robbery gang.
