Chapter 13 Skills
Open source and reduce expenditure.
Chen Xuan had some thoughts in his heart.
For example, you can get a deli shop or something.
The amount of money needed to open a restaurant is too large, and the cost of getting a deli shop is much smaller.
His monthly expenses, in addition to the tuition fees for martial arts, consume the most secret medicine and eating meat.
By eating meat, he can go hunting in the mountains.
Qingshui County not only has big rivers, but also mountains and mountains, and there are all kinds of wild beasts living in the mountains, and a wild boar of several hundred catties is enough for him to eat for ten days and half a month.
However, if you want to go hunting in the mountains, you have to be prepared.
Hunting is more dangerous than fishing, and there are more places to pay attention to, in addition to large beasts, there are also poisonous insects, snakes, and poisonous snakes, and a bite will endanger life.
"Buy a few hunting books first, brush up on hunting skills, and then practice archery to brush up your archery proficiency."
Chen Xuan had a preliminary plan in mind.
"By the way, the secret medicine is refined by a pharmacist, maybe I can read a few more medicine books and medical books, and be familiar with the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials, so as to brush up on medical skills and refine the secret medicine by myself, which will definitely cost less than buying secret medicine from the martial arts hall."
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan's eyes lit up.
Although it is not the same to be able to refine the secret medicine, at least this is a direction.
After eating, Chen Xuan came to a bookstore in Xinglongfang.
"This son, what kind of books do you need?"
The owner of the bookstore was an old man in his fifties with gray hair.
"Books on hunting, as well as books on medicine and medicine."
Looking at the rows of books on the shelves in the bookstore, Chen Xuan spoke.
"Childe, wait a minute."
The gray-haired old man immediately went to the bookshelf to find the books that Chen Xuan wanted.
No, Chen Xuan had five more books in front of him.
"The Hunting Essentials Volume I", "The Hunting Essentials Volume II", "The Book of Herbs", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Medicinal Properties".
"How much money did I pay for these five books?"
Chen Xuan asked.
"Five books, 34 articles in the first volume of "Hunting Techniques", 63 articles in "Hunting Essentials Volume II", 87 articles in "Baicao Jing", 90 articles in "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", and 73 articles in "Medicinal Properties."
The bookstore owner took out an abacus, and his fingers quickly pulled out, crackling.
"A total of three hundred and forty-seven texts."
The sound of the plan stopped, and the bookstore owner spoke.
"Three hundred and forty-seven texts."
Chen Xuan nodded, took out three copper coins, and forty-seven copper coins.
With the five books in hand, Chen Xuan returned to Changning Fang.
When I passed by an armory shop, I bought a bow and a barrel of feather arrows.
"Hunting Essentials Book!"
Back home, Chen Xuan took out a book and read it.
This book is a set of hunting methods summarized by hunters, including various hunting skills, experience, different ways to deal with different prey, and even how to arrange traps.
Chen Xuan was very attentive and read the first volume of hunting techniques word by word.
+1 Hunting
Just as Chen Xuan closed the book on hunting techniques, a text prompt floated in front of his eyes.
Chen Xuanββ
Killing Knife Method: 6712/10000/Second Order.
Fishing: 260/10000/2nd order.
Swimming: 2121/5000/1st order.
Cooking: 4278/5000/1st Order.
Writing: 124/5000/1st order.
Round pile: 200/10000/second order.
Giant Bear Gong: 384/10000/Second Order.
Hunting: 1/1000/Tier 0.
Opening the proficiency panel, Chen Xuan saw that there was indeed a new 'hunting' skill on it.
"Next, it's time to improve your hunting skills."
Chen Xuan turned to the first page of the first volume of hunting techniques and read it again.
+1 Hunting
After reading it again, the proficiency of hunting has increased by '1' points.
Chen Xuan put down the "Hunting Essentials Volume I" and picked up the "Hunting Essentials Volume II" and read it.
In the first volume of hunting techniques, it is recorded that hunting methods and various hunting techniques are recorded, while the second volume of hunting techniques is painted with different animal images, as well as records the living habits of animals, the places they often haunt, and what natural enemies they have.
It's just that the painting skills are average, and the animal images are basically outlined with lines.
But think about it.
A copy of "The Second Book of Hunting Techniques" is only sixty-three yuan, and it is impossible to draw every animal vividly and vividly, which takes a lot of time.
There is no printing skill in this world, and all books are copied by hand.
When he first came, Chen Xuan also learned about copying scriptures, and the salary was not high.
For example, books like "The Essentials of Hunting", which only cost a few pennies to copy.
At the end of the day, I can earn dozens of dollars at most.
For example, the salary of "The Second Volume of Hunting Techniques" with paintings is higher, but the salary is only a dozen yuan.
If you have that skill, you can paint each animal vividly, and you can sell it individually, but if you want to sell it for a good price, you have to rely on fame.
It's the same as poetry.
If you have a meritorious reputation, the painting is naturally worth more money.
If you don't have fame, you don't have fame, no matter how good the painting is, a painting of a few hundred dollars is considered a high price.
+1 Hunting
After reading "The Second Book of Hunting Techniques", the proficiency of hunting skills has also increased by '1' points.
Then, Chen Xuan finished reading the three books "The Book of Herbs", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" and "Medicinal Properties", and successfully brushed out the two skills of "medical skills" and "medicinal skills".
Healing: 1/1000/Tier 0.
Potions: 1/1000/Tier 0.
As the two skills of 'medical technique' and 'medicinal technique' appeared on the proficiency panel, Chen Xuan also knew the difference between the two.
Medical skills are mainly to master the knowledge of human disease treatment, how to use medicines, etc., while medicine focuses on drugs, mainly to master the pharmacology of medicinal materials, how to grow medicinal materials, and the use of various different medicinal materials.
If you want to refine secret medicine, you have to improve your proficiency in medicine.
The days that followed.
In addition to going to the martial arts hall every day to grind the skin, Chen Xuan is familiar with the hunting techniques, as well as the medicine books that record the medicinal materials, and constantly brushes the hunting skills, medical skills and the proficiency of medicinal techniques.
And, of course, culinary proficiency.
When he has time, he will go to the streets of Xinglongfang, especially some cooked food shops, taste the taste of these cooked food shops, and learn about the market.
The deli shop has to be opened as soon as possible.
He has only been able to get in and out, and it won't be long before he estimates that he won't even be able to get the money to rent a shop.
For the practice of archery, Chen Xuan did not fall behind.
At the beginning of his practice, he hired a master hunter to teach him archery for half a day.
Chen Xuan didn't ask for how good archery he could learn, for him at this stage, it was enough to cultivate basic archery.
Chen Xuan himself has a foundation in martial arts, so he quickly mastered some of the positions of archery and the essentials of archery, and as for the accuracy, this has to be practiced again and again.
Chen Xuan set up a target in his courtyard and practiced the accuracy of archery against this target.
Each time you shoot an arrow, your Archery proficiency increases by '1' points.
