Xu Ran still worked at the blacksmith every afternoon in the second week of August.

When Xu Ran went to the blacksmith shop on Monday afternoon, the owner of the blacksmith shop said to him: "Seeing that you are already working very easily now, can I increase your workload a little more?" If you can complete the task, the salary is 2.5 silver coins for half a day. Xu Ran said, "Okay." ”

This time the boss put 5 blanks in the furnace, Xu Ran must forge 5 blanks in a round to rest once, each round of forging is about 1 minute and 40 seconds, the interval between each round of rest time is still 5 minutes, the interval between each round of rest is certain, and he can't slow down the hammering speed and delay the forging time of each round, because the temperature of the blank is rapidly decreasing after the blank is baked, if he can't beat it quickly, after the temperature of the blank is reduced, he can't complete the hammering target of this round. Therefore, his work intensity is much greater than before, but fortunately, his mental strength and strength have increased now, although he feels tired when he does it, he can still bear it, and it feels better than the first time he used a super large hammer to forge 3 blanks; I didn't wake up with a sore arm, but I felt a little tired.

On the nights of Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, Xu Ran practiced martial arts in the martial arts hall of the dream game, and after spending 8 game coins in the first two days, his proficiency in the "one-to-one" mode of his right-handed intermediate palm technique was 98%. On Wednesday night, he spent another 4 silver coins, and reached 100% proficiency in the "one-to-one" mode of the right-handed intermediate palm technique; Left-handed "one-on-one, opponent with a dagger" proficiency is 28%. So far, Xu Ran's proficiency in the "one-to-one" mode of the intermediate palm technique has reached 100%.

On the night of Thursday to Sunday, Xu Ran was grazing four sheep at a time in the ranch of the dream game, and at the beginning, he was a little busy because he couldn't command the fourth sheep in an effective time interval, but he quickly got used to it, after all, his mental power was there, and he had a foundation. Xu Ran noticed that the effective time after the sheep received the instructions was unchanged, and the more sheep they graze, the more they needed to shorten the interval of mental power commands, and also exercised the herdman's ability to issue mental power instructions as quickly as possible. He is now taking care of the sheep while already having a 30% chance of feeling the slight abnormal movement of the branches and leaves of the bushes in advance to determine whether there are wolves, and this week he directly seized the opportunity to kill 2 wolves because of the prediction in advance.

In the real world, Xu Ran also feels that he is deafer and clearer than before, and he really can't say it if he is asked to speak with data, but he just feels that in the real world, he is more sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment, and his thinking is more agile, and he feels that his physical state seems to be in the best state of being able to respond to changes in the outside world at any time; It's a strange feeling, and it's something he's looking forward to, and he's looking forward to seeing a more significant change.

As of Sunday (that is, August 16), Xu Ran's personal game currency has accumulated: 4 gold coins, 1 silver coin, and 3 bronze coins.

Xu Ran was very concerned about what Kong Xiuying said about Yun Zhongyue's activities in the mental force field game space, and he counted it, from the time Yun Zhongyue entered the spiritual force field scene, to the time her spiritual force field value rose from 0 to 1, a total of 52 game scenes were experienced. Taking the average amount of time Yun Zhongyue spent in the primary practice room each time according to the number of times Kong Xiuying silently counted, Xu Ran calculated that it took an average of 1 hour each time, and 52 times cost 5 gold coins and 2 silver coins. The cost of the Spiritual Force Field is 10 gold coins; If he wants to get to this point in the future, he must be prepared for the time spent and the game currency, and he must have a mental number.

Regarding the mysterious feeling in the spiritual force field described by Kong Xiuying, Xu Ran was quietly looking forward to it, hoping that he would be able to enter the spiritual force field scene as soon as possible, and he could also experience what a mysterious spiritual force field he had built would be. Although it is not yet known what abilities and functions the mental force field has, it is a very powerful ability to pay attention to all the situations around one's body from an all-round perspective that allows people to have no blind spots.

For Kong Xiuying's cartoon website Xu Ran, he has always felt that Dongying's cartoons from a small country can be unique in the international market and occupy a large sales, but the domestic cartoons of a large country with a long history like China are very unsatisfactory, this conclusion is very unscientific, but it happened realistically, and I am unwilling to think about it; Take the theme of China's long history and civilization as an example, this is a unique treasure that many countries cannot reach, there are many materials for film and television creation, and film and television works should also have the obligation to show China's long history and civilization to the people and the world; But there aren't many people digging and creating; Some rare film and television works in ancient costumes are also those TV series over and over again, and they would rather waste money and shoot repeatedly than bother to make something new; Are these remakes incapable of innovating on their own, or are they lazy? Anyway, I don't understand.

Xu Ran has always firmly believed that if the history of China is made into film and television works, there must be a big market, first of all, the Chinese people are not clear about a lot of historical knowledge, if there are such film and television works, the Chinese people will like to watch them; Secondly, foreigners do not understand the long history of China, and if there are corresponding film and television works put on the international market, foreigners will also like to watch them; In a word, the film and television works of Chinese history will definitely have a big market. It's just that Xu Ran himself is not capable, so he used to just think about it. Now that he heard that Kong Xiuying and the others were working on their own cartoon website, he naturally remembered that he should dig into the long history of China.

Speaking of which, Xu Ran has not usually studied the history of China, but now many things can be found on the Internet, in Xu Ran's cartoons about history, as long as they can truly reflect history and knowledge, as long as they can write cartoon scripts, they only need to choose the historical events that need to be shown in chronological order to describe them objectively, respect history, and do not comment arbitrarily, and the rest is to work the fun of the plot.

Although Xu Ran had never written a cartoon script before, and never thought that he would one day engage in writing, since others were not enthusiastic about showing Chinese history, he volunteered to do his best to contribute to the promotion of thousands of years of Chinese civilization; And he believes that Kong Xiuying's website development of historical themes is definitely a good choice. The recognition of "Five Emperors" should be said to prove his point of view, and also gave him the confidence and strength to continue writing.

Chen Xiangxiang spent two half-days off on Tuesday and Thursday of this week, and went into a dream game at home in the afternoon. Her parents had to go to work during the day, and she didn't need to explain to anyone when she slept at home. Kong Xiuying also reminded her to try her best to exercise and enter the dream game in a waking state, but she can't do it yet. In the afternoons of these two days, she was able to sew 4 pieces of leather armor every day, and earned 4 silver coins in two days; Counting the last week's earn, she already has 6 credits.

On the afternoon of the two days of Saturdays and Sundays, she practiced in the practice room of the dream game, and Chen Xiangxiang was taught to practice the Jade Goddess Boxing, and on weekend afternoons, Chen Xiangxiang's left-handed proficiency in the Jade Goddess Boxing was 52%. Chen Xiangxiang is the left-handed pose that is practiced first. In the past two days, Chen Xiangxiang's consumption in the martial arts hall was: 1 silver coin for passing on the gong, and 3 silver coins and 9 copper coins for two days of martial arts. She has been practicing boxing for the past two days, and was notified by the system to take a break offline. As of this weekend (that is, August 16), Chen Xiangxiang's personal game currency has accumulated: 1 silver coin and 1 bronze coin.

Chen Xiangxiang slept at home on weekend afternoons, her parents were definitely not at ease, and she couldn't think of any other way now, so she could only say that she would rest late at night and make up for sleep in the afternoon, and asked her parents not to wake her up.

On Sunday night, Chen Xiangxiang excitedly said in the large group that her Jade Goddess Boxing's proficiency had reached 52%, and several newcomers asked her how she knew her proficiency, and she couldn't explain it clearly to others, and finally Kong Xiuying came forward to tell a few newcomers that when they could clearly remember the scene in the dream game, they would know what Chen Xiangxiang was talking about.

Li Xin didn't meet any newcomers who could be introduced to the group this week.

Regarding the situation about the spiritual force field that Kong Xiuying specifically described to Xu Ran in the private chat, Li Xin made a special report to the section chief in his weekly report, and Li Xin also thought that this was a very powerful ability, and I don't know if it can inspire modern science and technology.

Li Xin now knows that no one can tell what the members of the group are doing with the dream game, he is now completely sure that the dream game does exist, and it is inseparable from the alien civilization, what he can do now is to find as many newcomers as possible who can enter the dream game, and also silently observe the situation of the "Dream Walker" group, find as much useful information as possible, and pay attention to the impact of this dream game that is likely to be controlled by aliens on the "Dream Walkers".
