Chapter 5: The First Soul Technique, Qianjun Hammer
It's dawn.
Cheng Wu got up from the ground and rubbed his numb thighs.
Looking up, there was a ruin all around, quiet.
A breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness to Cheng Wu.
Then, Cheng Wu was busy setting up a tombstone for each family.
Of course, this is the work of laying a tombstone for the whole village, and according to the existing conditions, everything can only be simple.
During this period, Cheng Wu, when he was hungry, picked some fruits from fruit trees outside the village to eat, and these fruit trees were originally planted by the village chief's family and were ready to be sold for money. It's just that now the village chief is no longer there, so he can only cheapen his stomach.
While eating the fruit, thinking of the appearance of the village chief, Cheng Wu was in a trance.
People are no longer there, everything, things are not people!
After swallowing more than a dozen fruits in a row, Cheng Wu continued to erect tombstones for the villagers.
Considering the lack of wood, as well as the problem of existing materials, the tombstones of some homes were replaced by some simple and clumsy stones by Cheng Wu. As for the inscriptions, they are all "the tomb of so-and-so in Touching Fish Village"!
Although this is a bit simple, it is not easy to do.
When the morning passed, forty tombstones were erected.
Thinking that there were still more than sixty tombstones to erect, Cheng Wu quickened the movement at hand.
It wasn't until dusk fell, when the setting sun fell on the land of Touching Fish Village, that Cheng Wu was so tired that he sat down on a smooth stone on top of the ruins of his house.
At this time, Cheng Wu's forehead was already covered with sweat, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled to the ground, and the clothes behind him were already soaked.
But Cheng Wu didn't care about this, at this moment, Cheng Wu was grinning, muttering, "Finallyβit's all set!" β
After resting for a while, Cheng Wu came to the tombstone in the ruins of his house, looking at this tombstone that he had carefully made, Cheng Wu's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
This material looks pretty good, and I still have a lot of vision!
Long.
Cheng Wu's stomach was rumbling, and under the torture of hunger, Cheng Wu had to continue to return to the vicinity of the fruit tree outside the village to pick some fruit to eat.
After picking a few at random, Cheng Wu began to sway around.
As soon as he came, thinking that he still had nine days, he was about to usher in the first opportunity to answer the question, and this opportunity to answer the question was still related to farming, Cheng Wu's heart was tight.
Why don't you sharpen your gun before answering the questions?
However, the seedlings in the field have only been planted for a short time, so there should be no problems at present.
Then from tomorrow until the first answer, I will squat in the field.
Before the darkness completely descended on the village, Cheng Wu finally managed to find a hoe, a sickle, and a flat pole from several ruins.
After a brief look at the things in his hand, Cheng Wu put them aside and thought about where he should live.
Also, if it rains these days, won't you have to get wet?
Looking around, Cheng Wu looked around.
However, Cheng Wu was still disappointed, he found that after the accident last night, there was not a single place in the entire village that could accommodate him, not even a thatched hut that could shelter him from the wind and rain.
Cheng Wu suddenly had an idea.
Looking at the rubble fragments around him, an idea had already taken shape in his mind.
With the existing materials, he could build a cuboid by simply covering it with a wooden plank on top of it.
This simple dwelling is still a little inspired by the structure of the coffin.
Three hours later.
Cheng Wu rested in a narrow stone room two meters long, one meter wide and about one meter high.
Early the next morning, Cheng Wu picked some wild fruits when he passed by the wild fruit trees outside the village, and then squatted in his field all day.
During this period, I had nothing to do, mainly staring at my own fields, thinking about what problems would go wrong with the system.
Sometimes, when he is in a hurry, he wields a scythe to cut down some green weeds on the roadside, and even remove their roots.
maintained a regular schedule until the tenth day from what the system said, and Cheng Wu's ears finally waited for a long-lost and familiar voice.
"Ding, it's time to answer the question this time. The system reminds the host that you must answer the questions carefully, and you must not answer the questions randomly, if you find it once, you will be given a friendly lightning strike to a certain part of the host as a punishment, and the lightning strike degree is also level 2. If a part of the host is struck by such lightning, it will not die, at most part of the body will be mutilated, and only an important part of the man's organs will be lost. β
Cheng Wu: "......"
At this moment, I really want to output a sentence of national quintessence.
"It's time to answer the question, start now."
Hearing this, Cheng Wu's expression immediately became serious, and he cheered up and listened carefully with his ears pricked up.
"The first question, the following verses about the very hard work of farming are ()"
"A. Beans are planted in the south of the mountain, and the grass is full of beans and seedlings are scarce"
"B. On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops fall into the soil"
"C. Tian's family is less idle in the month, and people are busy in May"
"D. I don't know when I sleep in spring, and I smell birds everywhere"
At the same time, this question was presented in front of Cheng Wu's eyes by the system in the form of a square projection.
"Remember, the time to answer each question is one minute. If the time is exceeded, it will be regarded as a failure to answer the question. Please start answering the question now, the countdown begins: 60,59......"
Cheng Wu's head was running at high speed, this question was a bit like an exam question he had taken in the Dragon Kingdom Imperial Examination in the thirtieth year of Lu Lei in his previous life?
Half of the minute passed, Cheng Wu immediately replied, "I'll choose B and C for the answers."
As soon as Cheng Wu finished answering, a cold voice sounded in his ears, "The answer is correct!" Congratulations to the host for winning 2 credits, and I hope the host will continue to work hard! β
"The second question, does the Dragon Kingdom have () solar terms in a year? The countdown begins..."
Looking at the projection screen in front of him, Cheng Wu was a little skeptical about life.
Isn't this a little too easy?
Could it be that this system is secretly causing trouble?
Seeing that the one-minute time was about to end, Cheng Wu hurriedly said loudly: "24"
"Correct! Congratulations to the host for earning 2 credits, the host currently has a total of 4 credits. β
Cheng Wu wiped the sweat that had just appeared on his forehead, and complained frantically in his heart, this topic is really so simple, a little speechless.
"The third question, the three elements of the dragon country fertilizer refer to (), the countdown starts ......"
This time, Cheng Wu didn't hesitate and blurted out directly, "Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium." β
"Correct! Congratulations to the host for earning 2 credits, the host currently has a total of 6 credits. β
It's dangerous! Fortunately, when I was studying chemistry in junior high school in Longguo, I happened to hear the teacher talk about a problem that was easy to make mistakes, and I was deeply impressed at that time, and I forgot all the other questions, but this one was not forgotten.
Exhaling softly, a cold voice continued to sound in Cheng Wu's ears, "Fourth question, the following belongs to one of the four ancient agricultural books of the Dragon Kingdom."
"A. The Book of Victory"
"B. The Art of War"
"C. "Qi Min's Technique"
"D. "Tang Gao Says Farming"
"Countdown begins, 60, 59 ......"
Looking at the options on the screen, Cheng Wu immediately fell into deep thought.
According to so many books he had read in his previous life, he used the method of elimination to directly exclude item B, and at present it is certain that items A and C are so good, but this item D, he is a little hesitant.
This Tang Gao looked at this name, as if there was no such person in the history of the Dragon Kingdom. But if there really is such a person in this history, but the information left behind is destroyed, it is not impossible to do so. After all, everything that the system is so has already appeared, so I guess my own speculation should be very reasonable!
Seeing that the one-minute answering time was about to end, Cheng Wu's nerves tensed.
After much thought, he decided to give it a go, so he said, "I'll pick A and C." β
As for item D, he was not sure, in his opinion, there was no such record in the history of the Dragon Kingdom in the previous life, and there should be no such book.
Of course, he did not have the absolute confidence to deny that there was no such person in history.
At this moment, the system did not respond immediately, which immediately made Cheng Wu panic, could it be said that I answered wrong?
Just when Cheng Wu doubted himself, the voice of the system suddenly sounded, "Answer correctly, congratulations to the host for obtaining 2 credits, and the host currently has a total of 8 credits." β
Cheng Wu: "......"
Gotcha, I'm worried in vain!
Anyway, isn't this system a bit of a bad taste?
System: "The quality of this system is so noble, the degree of nobility is higher than that of three floors, is the host too villainous?" β
Hearing the cold voice of the system, Cheng Wu secretly complained, cut, more narcissistic than me!
"The last question this time, one day, a 10,000-year-old soul beast came out of the Star Dou Great Forest, and came to the territory of humans, because it has great hatred for humans, so it brutally killed a simple farming villager who happened to pass by, may I ask if the host happens to be present, and with the help of this system to hide the breath, what should the host do then? οΌοΌβ
"A. Thirty-six strategies, go for the best policy."
"B. is a real warrior, daring to face difficulties without fear of life and death."
C. pretended not to see it and quietly left.
"D. The righteous thing begins with me, and this revenge will be avenged, but we must wait for the opportunity to move, and we must hold on to it now."
"Countdown begins, 60, 59 ......"
Cheng Wu looked at this question and frowned.
It's not easy to choose!
In Cheng Wu's view, the answer to this option mainly depends on what kind of system the system is.
A is smart and wise, and lives are spared; Item B is full of heroism and lack of strategy; C apathy; Item D has a righteous heart, knows how to act strategically, and also knows how to keep a low profile.
To sum up, considering that the system is a bit narcissistic, item A is a bit inappropriate, and it is estimated that the system will not recognize it; The lack of strategy in item B is also excluded; In the same way, item C is indifferent and excluded, so that only item D remains. There is another reason to choose item D, after all, it has the most words!
I don't know why, I looked at item D again, and saw the word Gou, as if it was shining, it seemed to be a little blessed, as if this word was particularly kind, and I don't know if it was an illusion.
At this moment, Cheng Wu heard the countdown sound of the system next to his ears, "9,8......"
"System, I'll choose item D!"
Before the system countdown ended, Cheng Wu gave his own answer.
"The host's answer won my heart, and the answer was correct, so that the system was a lot more relieved, and I believe that we can be bound together for a long time. In addition, congratulations to the host for obtaining 2 credits, a total of 10 credits, and the exchange function of the system is officially opened. β
Cheng Wu: "......"
Regarding the previous sentence of the system, Cheng Wu had a bad guess. But rejoicing in its last sentence.
It turned out to be a redemption function!
I don't know what I can redeem for 10 credits?
Suddenly, in front of Cheng Wu, a projection screen appeared, showing a list of things that could be exchanged.
At a glance, I found that the types of items listed on it were: soul rings, soul guides, soul bones, golden soul coins, hidden weapons, exercises, and fairy grass......
Cheng Wu was dazzled for a while.
It's just that when Cheng Wu's eyes saw each category and each specific thing, Cheng Wu was shocked!
"System, are you cheating on me? All the things listed above, my current 10 credits, can only be exchanged for gold soul coins, and there are only three chances to answer the questions every month, it stands to reason that this credit should be very precious! What's more, each credit can only be exchanged for ten Golden Soul Coins, isn't it a bit too little? β
"Host, don't be too greedy, one credit can be exchanged for ten gold soul coins, which is already very high. You must know that even if there is only one Golden Soul Coin, on the Douluo Continent, you can get rid of many people and live a good life, don't be dissatisfied. β
Cheng Wu: "......"
"System, that four-hundred-year-old different soul ring, it costs 100 credits, is it possible to get a discount or something, after all, there are too few opportunities to answer questions every month, even if it is all right every time, it will only be 30 credits in a month! And your 100-year-old soul ring costs 12.5 credits, 25 credits for the 200-year-old soul ring, and 50 credits for the 300-year-old soul ring, can you get a more discount? β
"Host, you have to understand that the different years of soul rings that this system has, but they are very suitable for your martial soul, don't worry about any attributes and other problems, as long as you buy it, this system also contracts to help the host absorb the soul ring, reduce pain, and comfortably absorb the soul ring and other services, so in general, you don't lose."
Cheng Wu stared at the screen for a long time, and could only accept this cruel truth!
How poor!
Perhaps it was the conscience of the system that discovered it, and when he saw Cheng Wu's devastated look, he said: "Host, in view of the fact that you have obtained all the correct answers for the first time, this system specially rewards the host with a hundred-year soul ring." If the host wants to increase the number of years of the soul ring, you can exchange it for credits, and the price is calculated according to the price of increasing the number of years of the soul ring, and 10 credits are required for each hundred years of growth. β
Cheng Wu couldn't believe it when he heard the system's words!
Could it be that the conscience of this system is still there?
However, it is already good to have this windfall, after all, it is a hundred-year-old soul ring.
"System, will this contract services such as absorbing soul rings and reducing pain?"
System: "......"
Perhaps, it should not be found in conscience that this host is too critical of the system.
"Don't worry, this system will provide such a service this time."
"That's good! So, let's get started! β
"Considering that the host has two soul rings, please decide which martial soul to use to absorb the soul ring."
Cheng Wu thought for a moment, and then replied: "Just the invincible Hammer Martial Soul!" β
"Host, your hammer is just an ordinary martial soul, the lowest quality martial soul that is rare in the life of this system, and it can be said that there is no one before or since."
Cheng Wu's face stiffened.
"Let's go!"
Cheng Wu gritted his teeth and said.
The next moment.
A golden light suddenly surged onto Cheng Wu, and at this time, Cheng Wu felt warm all over his body, very comfortable.
Long.
Cheng Wu exhaled a breath of turbidity and summoned his martial soul, the invincible sledgehammer, and saw a hundred-year-old yellow soul ring on it, Cheng Wu smiled.
The information transmitted to him through the soul ring is a hundred-year-old soul technique that is very suitable for this iron hammer - Qianjun Hammer. After the first soul skill of this hammer is used, if it is smashed on a person, it is as heavy as a thousand pounds, it can beat people and vomit blood, and even kill them on the spot, depending on how hard the life of the person being hammered is. It's just that this soul skill faces a flaw, that is, it must be attached to a human hammer, but people can move freely, and they are not dead targets, they can be hammered by others.
However, a hundred-year-old soul technique is so good, Cheng Wu is already quite satisfied, after all, to a certain extent, what comes out of the system is the best of the best.
At this moment, the system voice sounded again, "Host, since you have absorbed this hundred-year soul ring, your soul power level has reached level eleven, in view of the fact that the host has become a soul master, but the relevant knowledge of the soul master is lacking, please find a junior soul master academy as soon as possible to learn the relevant soul master knowledge." At the same time, what this system can prompt the host is that the next answer is related to the soul master, and the host is requested to enroll in the junior soul master academy as soon as possible. In addition, if the host can enter the Junior Soul Master Academy within a month, the system will give the host a surprise amount! In addition, the system will fall asleep until the next answer starts. Well, just-"
"Wait a minute, system, I want to exchange one credit for ten gold soul coins. After all, I don't have much money on me. Even if there were, it would have been buried in the ground. And I can't live without my parents, and I can't live without money. β
"Okay, the host uses one credit to exchange for ten golden soul coins, and there are currently a total of nine credits left for the credits. As for the ten Golden Soul Coins, they have already appeared in the arms of the host. So, host, we'll see you next time! β
Cheng Wu stretched out his hand and touched it into his arms, and sure enough, he found ten full and round golden soul coins, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
After playing with it for a while, Cheng Wu reluctantly put it back in his arms.
Looking at the blue sky overhead, Cheng Wu began to think about the way to enter the Junior Soul Master Academy.
I don't know, what time is it in Douluo Continent now, and also, has Tang San been born?
The only specific timeline he remembered was in the year 2637 of the Douluo calendar, when Tang San awakened his martial soul at the age of six.
It seems that if you have the opportunity, you still need to find someone to ask.
Since he wants to enter the Junior Soul Master Academy, he is bound to leave this village.
It's just that how to join the Junior Soul Master Academy, you have to go into the nearby city to inquire first, maybe someone in the city will know.
With this in mind, Cheng Wu sat quietly on a smooth and round stone block in the ruins of his house.
From the sun shining to the sunset, to the starry sky.
One night, and so it was.
Early morning.
"Perhaps, it's time to leave Touch Fish Village. It's a pity that the seedlings planted in the field are gone! β
Cheng Wu got up, his eyes stopped at every corner of Touching Fish Village, especially in the direction of his own field, and stayed for a while before he retracted his gaze.
Then, Cheng Wu chose a direction to the west of the entrance of Touching Fish Village, heading towards the local town closest to his village.
As for how he learned about this route, all this was told to him by his grandfather a long time ago, and he has always remembered it.
