When Xu Ran entered the blacksmith shop on Monday afternoon in the fourth week of July, his boss said to him, "Would you like to learn the technique of forging a hundred refined steels?" Half a day's salary is 2 silver coins. It also helps in the improvement of strength and stamina. Xu Ran said, "Okay, I'm willing to learn." The boss said, "Then you have to be mentally prepared to endure hardships." Xu Ran said: "There is no problem with this. ”

After Xu Ran entered the workshop with the boss, the boss signaled Xu Ran to pick up the only oversized sledgehammer in the workshop, Xu Ran picked it up and felt that this oversized sledgehammer should be twice as heavy as the small sledgehammer, and 1/4 heavier than the sledgehammer.

The boss told Xu Ran the essentials of the operation, "There are now 3 blanks in the furnace, I will take turns to pick up the blanks and put them on the anvil, you just hammer at the blank in the center of the anvil, and I will move the position of the blank; After every third blank, there is a rest, followed by a second round of hammering. Xu Ran said, "Got it." ”

The boss took the red-hot fine iron blank out of the furnace with tongs and put it on the anvil, Xu Ran began to beat, and with Xu Ran is hammering, the boss moved the blank back and forth; When the red-hot blank gradually cooled down and faded, the boss asked Xu Ran to stop beating, and the boss put the cooled blank into the furnace to re-roast, and then clamped out a new blank and continued to let Xu Ran hammer it.

After every three rounds of blank beating, Xu Ran can rest for 5 minutes, and each round of beating is about 1 minute. At first, Xu Ran didn't feel anything, after more than an hour, he felt a little struggling, this oversized hammer is 1/4 heavier than the previous sledgehammer, and now the hammering frequency is also higher than before, before each forging was a single blank, now it is a continuous forging of 3 blanks before there will be a short rest, the power consumption and physical consumption are obviously much more than before, after about 2 hours, Xu Ran said to the boss that the body is a little unbearable, let's do it today. The boss told him that he could only give him 1 silver coin because of the amount of work he didn't finish today; And told him that because it was the first time he used a large hammer, his body was a little uncomfortable, and he would slowly get used to it.

Xu Ran felt that there was no problem with working for at least half an hour longer, but he was worried that he would continue to work with great physical strength, and he was afraid of a waist injury after a long time, so he would have to delay for many days and not be able to work in iron, so he considered leaving work early to rest.

After waking up in the afternoon, Xu Ran felt a sore arm that he hadn't felt for a long time. He hurriedly went to the bathing city near his home to take a bath for half an hour before going home to make dinner and QQ.

After playing in the dream world at night, although the soreness in his arm was gone, he still decided to go to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts this time, and he couldn't go to the iron continuously to fight iron, so as not to strain his muscles.

Xu Ran now has 1 gold coin and 4 silver coins on his body, and after coming to the martial arts hall, Xu Ran handed over 1 gold coin and directly asked to teach King Kong Palm Intermediate Martial Arts.

This time, it took about 1 minute and 30 seconds to pass the gong, and the six new moves were taught to perform the gong and exert force; It is still divided into three types of left-handed movements and right-handed movements. At the same time, it also teaches the integration and coordination of the new moves and the six moves in the primary palm technique, and the new moves mainly focus on hand-to-hand short fights; If the primary palm method is taught to be a pure palm method, the intermediate palm method is also mixed with the elbow method and the arm method, which is concise and fast; The intermediate moves require the coordination and coordination of the beginner moves, and the movement speed of the six new moves is also faster than the six moves of the beginner level.

After completing the transmission, Xu Ran handed over the remaining 4 silver coins on his body and asked the waiter to lead him into a practice room. There is no need for the waiter to introduce, Xu Ran directly clicked on the touch screen to open the sparring demonstration function of the intermediate palm technique, which has "one-to-one", "one-to-two", "one-to-three" freehand sparring; There are also "one-on-one" opponents who practice with daggers.

Xu Ran chose "one-on-one" hand-to-hand sparring, the opponent's physical state was set to ordinary, and Xu Ran turned off the demo function after watching it for about 5 minutes. Click on the actual combat practice, Xu Ran began to practice, Xu Ran practiced the left-handed style first.

Perhaps it was due to the fact that he had a sparring foundation in the primary palm technique, although the opponent's fist change speed was much faster than that of the beginner when practicing the intermediate palm technique, Xu Ran quickly adapted to this change and could keep up with the rhythm and exert the power of his newly learned intermediate palm technique. When Xu Ran's 4 silver coins were consumed, Xu Ran's proficiency in the "one-to-one" mode of the left-handed intermediate palm technique was 42%.

On Tuesday afternoon, Xu Ran still went to the blacksmith shop to make iron, this afternoon Xu Ran felt a little used to the use of an oversized sledgehammer, but he still couldn't insist on working until the end of the day and asked the boss to rest, and in the afternoon the boss gave him a salary of 1.5 silver coins.

After waking up on Tuesday afternoon, Xu Ran still went to the bath for half an hour to take a bath. After entering the game at night, he did not go to the iron; He didn't go to the martial arts gym to practice, because he only had 1.5 silver coins of game currency, and he didn't want to waste his time in vain; Xu Ran chose to go to the sheep farm to herd sheep.

Because he heard the peacock talk about the situation of the sheep farm, Xu Ran came to the sheep farm, paid 5 copper coins and asked to graze 1 sheep, and after listening to the boss talk about the essentials and precautions of sheep herding, Xu Ran began his own sheep herding work.

Xu Ran's current mental power value is 8, and it is quite fast to adapt to a sheep, although he can only stand and give instructions to the sheep at the beginning, after an hour, he can occasionally issue mental power instructions on the move, and when he finishes work, Xu Ran's 20% mental power instructions to the sheep can already be issued on the move.

Xu Ran did not deliberately avoid the grass next to the bushes when herding the sheep, and he ordered the sheep to go wherever the grass was near; Xu Ran felt that with his own strength and martial arts he had learned, he should be enough to deal with a single wolf. Xu Ran ran away and injured two wolves in this half a day, but when he met the wolf for the first time, he was a step slower to react and let the wolf bite the sheep, so that his 1 copper coin salary for half a day of sheep herding was also lost. However, this did not affect Xu Ran to continue grazing next to the bushes, and he later specially found the grass next to the bushes to graze sheep, he felt that this could keep him in a state of high vigilance and help exercise his mental strength; As for the casualties of the sheep, he felt that it would not be a lot of loss, after all, the salary of the sheep herding was too far from the salary of his iron.

In the next few days of the week, Xu Ran worked in the blacksmith shop in the afternoon and went to the pasture to herd sheep at night. By Saturday, he had been able to work in the blacksmith for half a day at a time, earning half a day's wages for two silver coins. By Sunday, Xu Ran had started herding two sheep at a time, and he could now give all the instructions to the sheep while she was herding one. As of Sunday (that is, July 26), Xu Ran's personal game currency has accumulated: 1 gold coin, 1 silver coin and 2 bronze coins.

Calculated, Xu Ran began to log in to the dream game alone on April 15, and the basic personal information at that time was: Mental power: 6,; Strength: 8; Stamina: 7; HP: 60.

By the beginning of July, the personal information was: mental power: 8; Strength: 11; Stamina: 11; HP: 80. Mental power has increased by more than 30%, strength has increased by 40%, and physical strength has increased by more than 50%. It's only been about 3 months, and his physical fitness can be improved so much that he feels a little dreaming, but aren't these all relied on dreams, and it's really funny to play word games.

At present, Xu Ran's mental power has only increased by 2 values compared to before, but he does feel that he is now smarter than before, his thinking is more agile, and his memory has also improved significantly. From what he knows, Yun Zhongyue's current mental power value has reached 21, and he is still practicing in the primary practice room of the spiritual force field space, it can be seen that there is still a lot of room for spiritual power to rise, Xu Ran doesn't know how much his mental power value will increase in another 3 months, but there should definitely be a lot of progress, the magic of the spiritual force field in the use of force has already made him feel fascinated, the spiritual force field is obviously one step higher than the spirit thorn, and he is also anxious to know what other wonderful use the spirit force field has.

I don't know where my strength and stamina will go in a while, and thinking about it makes him excited; Although he can see from the personal information of the players in the dream game that the strength and physical strength of these players are estimated to have basically stopped increasing after leaving the novice village, because what everyone is pursuing here is the improvement of mental power; Xu Ran guessed that when he left the Novice Village, his physical strength and strength value should be doubled compared to when he first entered the dream game, which should be achievable. Let a person have the physical strength and strength of two people at the same time, the effect will not be a simple 1+1=2, as for how many 1+1 equals, Xu Ran doesn't know how to calculate, but he believes that it will definitely be the effect of 1+1>2.

Xu Ran couldn't figure out what the blood value represented in reality, he felt that this was a game value corresponding to the mental power value

Xu Ran's current plan is to keep a low profile as much as possible and immerse himself in the game to make himself work hard to level up.
