Chapter Seventy-Eight: Expanding the Ways to Increase Strength

Xu Ran's city also has a sanda competition in October, but Xu Ran is not interested in this, he doesn't care if he should also get a medal, what he cares about is not to attract attention.

He is now working in a blacksmith shop, one to earn more in-game currency, and the other to improve his physical strength and strength; It's just that now that he doesn't feel very strenuous working in the blacksmith shop, he is also worried that his strength and physical strength will not improve quickly.

Xu Ran has been thinking about taking some other measures to help improve his strength and physical strength.

Last weekend, Xu Ran took the time to go to a large-scale fitness equipment store, wanting to see how to buy a suitable fitness equipment to put at home, and usually to help exercise strength and physical strength. After entering the store, the waitress in the store came to receive him, Xu Ran told the waiter to take a look casually, and asked the waiter to go and busy with himself first.

Xu Ran had never paid close attention to fitness equipment before, and when he entered the store, he found that there were really a lot of varieties, such as treadmills, elliptical machines, rowing machines, spinning bikes, steppers, barbells, dumbbells, massage chairs, etc., like elliptical machines, rowing machines Xu Ran also heard and saw for the first time.

After browsing, Xu Ran asked the waiter to come over and introduce the use of the rowing machine, and went up to try it himself, the first feeling of this rowing device to Xu Ran was that it could exercise the muscles and strength of the whole body, so it was a hit at a glance, but when I tried it, I knew that it should be the reason for the improvement of my strength and physical strength.

Xu Ran then tried the elliptical machine, but it couldn't meet his need to exercise strength.

After studying other equipment, Xu Ran finally decided to buy a pair of dumbbells to exercise at home, which not only saves time, but also achieves the purpose of exercising strength and physical strength; Xu Ran did not consider the barbell because he thought that the barbell was not suitable for all-round muscle training.

The waiter led Xu Ran to the place where dumbbells were sold, Xu Ran tried the dumbbell samples on the ground, and felt that he was too light to use, so he asked the waiter to bring the heaviest dumbbells in the store for him to try.

The waiter was already unhappy when she led Xu Ran to the dumbbell sales area, she felt that Xu Ran might have planned to buy dumbbells from the beginning, and to try out rowing machines, elliptical machines, etc., was idle and had nothing to do, and had no intention of buying those equipment at all. However, the customers who buy the dumbbells are also customers, and the waiter is not happy, but he still has a smile on his face.

Now Xu Ran asked the waiter to take out the heaviest dumbbell to try it out, and the waiter felt that Xu Ran was a little joking, judging from Xu Ran's body type, Xu Ran didn't look like that kind of person with great strength.

The waiter's face was a little unbearable, but the waiter didn't bother to tell Xu Ran how heavy the heaviest dumbbell in the store was, she directly shouted at the boss there that there were customers here to try the heaviest dumbbell in the store, she wanted to see how embarrassing Xu Ran would be when she couldn't use the heaviest dumbbell in the store.

Xu Ran didn't ask the weight and asked the waiter to take out the heaviest dumbbells, that is to have confidence in his own strength, his current strength value is twice as large as the average person, the dumbbells sold here are still combined, the weight of the dumbbells can be adjusted within a certain range, considering that his strength value will gradually increase, Xu Ran is ready to buy the heaviest dumbbells directly to go back to exercise. The waiter didn't tell Xu Ran how heavy the heaviest dumbbell was, it was a joke about preparing to see Xu Ran, and the waiter now felt that Xu Ran was not sincere in coming to buy something.

After the owner came over, he told Xu Ran that the heaviest dumbbell in the store was 40kg, and asked Xu Ran if he wanted to try it now, and the boss also felt that Xu Ran was not strong enough, and he didn't believe that he was suitable for playing too heavy dumbbells. Xu Ran asked the price and said, "I want to try it now, and if it's suitable, I'll buy it." ”

The shopkeeper and another male waiter quickly used a small cart to push the dumbbell components out of the warehouse, unpacked them, and put them together for Xu Ran to try.

When Xu Ran bent down and picked up the dumbbells from the ground with both hands, the expressions of the shop owner and the two waiters became wonderful, and they didn't expect Xu Ran to look so relaxed when he picked up the dumbbells.

After Xu Ran played with the dumbbell a few times, he began to regret in his heart, the weight of the dumbbell still seemed light, and there was still a distance from the purpose of exercising his strength; Xu Ran tried to do a few movements with dumbbells, and asked the store owner if he could have heavier dumbbells.

The shopkeeper now also saw that Xu Ran's strength was too large, and he told Xu Ran that he should be able to order dumbbells weighing up to 100kg, and they were also assembled in pieces and stacked like 40kg dumbbells, so that Xu Ran could freely choose the weight within 100kg according to his needs.

Xu Ran was very happy when he heard this, and immediately said that he asked the store owner to make a payment and paid the deposit; Originally, Xu Ran was still thinking about buying 40kg dumbbells if there were no heavier ones, so that he could make do with them for a while; This can now be paid for 100kg, even if your strength value gradually increases, you can use it well for a while.

The owner of the shop now feels that he has encountered talents, after Xu Ran paid the deposit for the purchase of dumbbells, he began to ask Xu Ran enthusiastically about the situation, when he asked Xu Ran clearly that he had not usually carried out professional strength or bodybuilding training, he and his hard work has been lobbying Xu Ran to participate in the bodybuilding training class run by their company, and promised to give Xu Ran a discount; The owner of the shop frequently introduced the benefits of bodybuilding training to Xu Ran, and praised Xu Ran for his strength and strength, and it is easier to achieve results by practicing bodybuilding.

Xu Ran directly declined politely. Xu Ran knew his own situation, he didn't need to go to bodybuilding training to have a place to exercise himself, and he was not interested in making a name for himself through bodybuilding competitions.

When Xu Ran left the fitness equipment store, the waitress looked at Xu Ran with admiration in her eyes.

On Thursday morning, the owner of the gym equipment store led an employee to personally deliver the goods to Xu Ran, after all, it was 100 kilograms of goods.

The boss still hopes that Xu Ran can participate in the bodybuilding training class organized by their company, and this time the boss promises not to pay Xu Ran for bodybuilding training, as long as Xu Ran promises to participate in the bodybuilding competition in the name of their company after the results are released; Xu Ran told the other party that he really didn't have time, but the other party still took the trouble to explain to Xu Ran the benefits of participating in bodybuilding exercises for his personal future, hoping to impress Xu Ran, and the owner of the store was optimistic that Xu Ran would definitely become a celebrity in the bodybuilding industry; In the end, Xu Ran promised the other party that when he had time to participate in bodybuilding training, he would contact the other party first before it was over.

In the fourth week of September, Xu Ran spent every afternoon striking iron at the blacksmith shop and grazing sheep at the pasture at night. Xu Ran started to herd six sheep at a time this week, and his mental power is now to meet the conditions for grazing 6 sheep, and what he needs to exercise now is to be able to quickly issue mental power commands to ensure that the 6 sheep under his command are under his easy control.

Xu Ran's current effective distance of mental power instructions is 3 meters, and the six sheep scattered within the scope of his mental power control also have a certain amount of room for movement, as long as he often pays attention to moving his position to follow the direction of most sheep's activities, and directs the outliering sheep to return to the team at any time, he can avoid running back and forth to chase the sheep to send mental power commands; This is also the experience he summed up after a period of sheep herding.

At the beginning of this Monday, Xu Ran could not guarantee that he would be able to issue six instructions in a row within the validity period of a spiritual instruction, but by the end of this week, Xu Ran could safely issue six consecutive mental power instructions within the validity period of one instruction.

Xu Ran still only chooses to graze sheep on the grass close to the bushes, and while taking care of the sheep, he always keeps his attention on whether there are wolves in the bushes, which of course requires him to concentrate extra and not afford to lose; However, he was already enjoying the feeling, and he knew that this kind of environment would only be good for exercising his mental strength.

Now as long as there is a wolf in the bushes, he can detect it in advance, I wonder if this can be regarded as the sixth sense; According to Xu Ran's analysis, it should be that when the wolf moves in the bushes, it will have an impact on the surrounding environment, and the subtle changes in the surrounding environment due to the wolf's actions have been paid attention to by Xu Ran's attention, so the wolf's traces have been discovered.

"Gentle Wind" has now also entered the newbie village of dream games and started his own dream game experience. After asking about the "gentle wind", Xu Ran also made her a set of tricky tools for working in a clothing shop, spending 5 copper coins.

As of Sunday (that is, September 27), Xu Ran's personal game currency has accumulated: 7 gold coins, 6 silver coins and 3 bronze coins.

Xu Ran is responsible for the decoration construction on Monday of this week, Xu Ran still goes to the construction site every morning to manage it, and no longer asks in the afternoon, if you really have something to call at night. Thanks to the improvement of mental strength, Xu Ran feels that he is now thinking very clearly when considering the management of the construction site, in the past, there were often unexpected emergencies that need to be dealt with in a timely manner, but he now feels that the possible problems have been taken into account in advance in the morning work arrangement, and some of the problems that he has not thought of on the site can remind others to pay attention to in advance, so as to avoid the fact that he can not solve the problem when he is not on site in the afternoon and affect the smooth progress of the work.

The script of Xu Ran's cartoon "Zhou Dynasty" is still being written this week, because the history of the Zhou Dynasty also involves the historical materials of other countries in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, he has to consider the subsequent script writing of the cartoon in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

If you want to write a high-quality, non-missing historical cartoon of "Zhou Dynasty", the workload is heavy and difficult, Xu Ran's attitude is that since you want to write it, you have to write it well, and he has already finished writing the part before the Western Zhou Dynasty, and there is still the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to write; The materials of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period that he recently consulted will be as useful as his future writing of "Spring and Autumn" and "Warring States", and he can save some time when the time comes. However, Xu Ran needs to go to work at the construction site in the morning this week, so he doesn't have much time to write, so he can only find time to write a little every day.

It has been almost 4 months since Li Xin began to track and investigate the relevant content of the dream game, and in addition to submitting a report to the section chief every week, Li Xin will write an investigation summary to the section chief at the end of the month every month, and the section chief will also submit a report on the "dream walker" to the director every month.

Although the details of the dream game have not yet been figured out, the National Security Bureau should have reached a consensus on the fact that there is indeed a dream game; It's just that they are also undecided on how to find out what is here; The section chief still told Li Xin to continue to pay attention and wait and see what happens.

Li Xin introduced a woman named "Qingfeng" living in Hexi Province to the group this week, and there are currently six people in the team of "Qingfeng" in the dream game, and she is a team member.
