I don't know if it's because of the medicinal bath, Chen Xiu slept very deeply that night.

When I woke up the next morning, it was just after five o'clock, and the sky was still dark.

Chen Xiu, who woke up, only felt that his whole body was extremely energetic, and the little fatigue left yesterday had completely disappeared, and his spirit was even more vigorous.

After a brief wash, he went to the courtyard to prepare to practice boxing and move his muscles.

Chen Xiu thought that he had gotten up early enough, but when he came to the courtyard, he found that someone had gotten up earlier than him.

A young man not much older than him was standing topless in front of the sandbag, intently hitting the sandbag.

It can be seen from the sweat on the other party that the man has been fighting here for a while.

Chen Xiu had some impressions of this young man, because this person was the one who only had vegetable leaves and potatoes in the bowl at dinner yesterday.

The other party seemed to play very attentively and did not notice his arrival.

Seeing this, Chen Xiu didn't bother the man, and casually found an open space to practice boxing.

After punching twice, Chen Xiu's body also warmed up, and the chill in the morning gradually became invisible.

During his boxing practice, the rest of the people also came to the courtyard one after another, and after greeting each other, they began their own morning exercises.

When the time reached half past six, Xu Hongyuan came here and beckoned a few people to have breakfast.

Everyone's breakfast is the same, it is steamed buns, white porridge, eggs and milk, everyone can choose by themselves.

Chen Xiu didn't feel hungry at first, but when he smelled the aroma of food in the dining room, he suddenly felt a burst of hunger, and his stomach also made a rumbling sound.

He grabbed a bun and ate it in a big bite.

Three times five divided by two, a bun was quickly eaten by him.

And Chen Xiu was still unsatisfied after eating a bun, and ate two more eggs and a bowl of white porridge, and finally added a carton of milk to fill his stomach, and the amount of food was almost double that of his previous days.

After breakfast, Zhou Boyuan called Chen Xiu over.

"You've been practicing boxing early in the morning, which is good, if you want to be famous, hard work is more important than talent." Zhou Boyuan smiled and praised Chen Xiu.

"But you can't just practice boxing like this, you have to practice something else."

"What else do you want to practice?"

Chen Xiu was a little curious.

"Although the small five-shaped boxing is good, no matter how good it is, it can only be used to maintain health and fitness, and it is never enough to fight with people with this boxing method."

Speaking of this, Zhou Boyuan explained again, "Of course, I don't want you to fight with others, I just tell you this truth." ”

After all, the small five-shaped boxing is just a basic boxing method, which is not much different from those fitness gymnastics.

It's enough to dance gymnastics a few times a day, but it's really not necessary to dance all day.

"So what am I going to practice later?" Chen Xiu's eyes lit up, "Master, you want to teach me other boxing techniques?" ”

"This is not in a hurry, you must know that you are greedy and chew too much, you are far from the time to learn other boxing techniques." Zhou Boyuan waved his hand and said, "If you want to learn other boxing techniques, you must practice the little five-shaped boxing to feel it." ”

"How do you get a feeling?" Chen Xiu was puzzled and asked.

"You'll know when the time comes." Zhou Boyuan sold a pass, "You'll go and practice that later." ”

He pointed in the direction of a place in the courtyard.

Chen Xiu looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw two stone locks lying there one by one.

……

Chen Xiu didn't expect that one day he would actually use such a thing as a stone lock, and he also knew something about the stone lock, which is a training tool with a long history for exercising strength.

It's just that in modern society, even the country on the other side of the ocean rarely uses this to exercise strength, let alone here in the Federation.

This made Chen Xiu can't help but give birth to the illusion of returning to the past.

He shook his head, letting go of the jumbled thoughts in his mind and focused on lifting the stone lock in his hand.

Both of these stone locks are 18kg, which is about the weight of a bucket of drinking water.

With Chen Xiu's current strength value, this weight is really not heavy, just use some strength, even if you only use one hand, you can lift it from the ground.

Lifting the two stone locks above the head ten times in turn, a total of ten sets of movements must be completed, which is the task that Zhou Boxiong asked Chen Xiu to complete in the morning.

After hearing this task, Chen Xiu immediately became numb.

It is not difficult to lift the stone lock, and he can do it if he lifts it above his head, but it is not so easy to complete Zhou Boxiong's request.

No matter how difficult it is, it has to be done, Chen Xiu warmed up and began to lift the stone lock.

At the beginning, with his brute strength, he lifted the two stone locks seventeen or eighteen times in one go, and he was almost about to successfully complete two sets of movements.

However, the weight of these two stone locks is really not light, and after he lifted them so many times, his breath was also discharged, and both arms began to be sore, and he gritted his teeth before he finally lifted the stone locks up twice again, barely completing the second group.

After the two groups were completed, Chen Xiu was also so tired that he sat directly on the ground, and at the same time realized that he couldn't do it like this anymore.

He needs skill.

So when he was almost rested, he didn't rush to lift the stone lock again, but found Xu Hongyuan and asked Xu Hongyuan for advice in this regard.

Living up to his expectations, Xu Hongyuan did have a lot of experience in lifting stone locks, and handed them all over to him without hesitation.

"You can't just use the strength of your arms to lift the stone lock, you have to call on the strength of the whole body, especially the waist and abdomen, as long as the whole body strength is twisted into a strand, and lifting the stone lock will get twice the result with half the effort."

Xu Hongyuan demonstrated the movement to Chen Xiu, and easily lifted the stone lock above his head.

It is very easy to demonstrate the movements, and the specific power skills have to be slowly comprehended by Chen Xiu himself, which is difficult to express in words.

Because in addition to allowing the practitioner to exercise strength, the stone lock can also allow the practitioner to learn how to integrate his own strength.

This is also the real purpose of Zhou Boxiong to let Chen Xiu practice lifting stone locks, learn how to use strength.

Through Xu Hongyuan's guidance, Chen Xiu gradually understood many of the key points.

However, what is on paper is finally shallow, and it is clear and understandable, and it has to be practiced repeatedly to truly master.

Xu Hongyuan's pointing skills were indeed useful, and according to his method, Chen Xiu lifted the stone lock again, obviously feeling a little easier than before.

That's the difference between using brute force and using skill.

Chen Xiu was quite excited.

He originally thought that he might not be able to complete Zhou Boxiong's task, but now it seems that it is not impossible to complete it.

The following morning, Chen Xiu was concentrating on holding the two stone locks.

When the stone lock is tired, he sits down to rest and drink water, and when he is almost rested, he gets up and starts again.

Under his insistence on focused practice, after a morning, he finally completed Zhou Boxiong's requirements and completed ten sets.

Even after it was over, Chen Xiu's two arms were so tired that he was almost unconscious, and when he ate, he couldn't grasp the chopsticks steadily, and the chopsticks in his hands kept shaking, and he didn't know that he thought he was a Parkinson's patient.

Zhou Boxiong was very satisfied with his performance, and kept serving him dishes into the bowl during meals.

After eating, Zhou Boxiong took Chen Xiu to his room, took out a black plaster from the house, and applied it to Chen Xiu's two arms.

This black plaster is like chili oil, and the place where it is applied is a hot and sharp pain, and Zhou Boxiong's technique is extremely heavy when he applies it, which makes Chen Xiu grin his teeth.

Tap tap ...... It hurts so much! Chen Xiu was so painful that tears were about to fall out, and his mouth kept sobbing cold air.

"This medicine has to be combined with heavy hands, otherwise it won't have much effect."

Zhou Boxiong pulled Chen Xiu's arm and applied the ointment, and said: "If you don't use this medicine, your two arms won't be able to use their strength for at least three days, this is still a trivial matter, if you fall into a dark injury, it will be a big trouble......

Chen Xiu had no choice but to insist.

Fortunately, Zhou Boxiong's technique is very skillful, and the speed of applying medicine is very fast, and it doesn't take long for his two arms to be drugged.

Just when Chen Xiu thought it was over, Zhou Boxiong asked him to take off his shirt again, and also gave medicine to his waist and back, which made him grin again.

In the end, even his thighs were drugged, and after the medicine, Chen Xiu's body was full of hot pain, and his whole body was like a fire burning.

It's just too torturous.

Chen Xiu secretly complained in his heart, and he was about to have the idea of running home.

Fortunately, before leaving, Zhou Boxiong told him that he had practiced enough today, and that he didn't need to practice in the afternoon, and let him go out for a casual walk and relax, and his mood was much better.

……

"Antique shop? There must be quite a few in the city of Parari. Xu Hongyuan touched his chin and said, "There are three or four in this Chinatown alone, but the shops are not very big, all of them are small shops." ”

"Are you interested in antiques? Many of these antique shops are fakes, so don't be fooled. ”

"I just love antiques."

Chen Xiu waved his hand and said casually.

Of course, he wasn't interested in antiques, and gaining experience was his real purpose.

He didn't have a clue about what exactly would be on it to gain experience points, so he had to try his luck in an antique shop first.

After all, that's the only place he's had gained experience points at the moment.

"Besides, I don't have any money, and others can't cheat me even if they want to." Chen Xiu took out his pockets on both sides, and there was nothing in them.

He never had the idea of spending money on antiques, and even if he did have experience points, he wouldn't buy anything.

He only intended to prostitute for nothing.

"Okay."

Xu Hongyuan didn't say anything more, found a piece of paper, and wrote down the addresses of the antique shops he knew.

These antique shops are all located in Chinatown, which used to be very convenient.

After thanking Xu Hongyuan, Chen Xiu took the piece of paper and went to find the antique shops on it.

As the largest port city on the south coast, Parari is far more prosperous than the average inland city, attracting a large number of immigrants and tourists every year, and there are two Chinatowns in this area alone.

One is located right next to the city center and the other near the port.

The Chinatown where the gym is located is the former, although it is more affluent, but the area is much smaller than the latter, and there are only three antique shops here at the address given by Xu Hongyuan.

The Chinatown on the other side of the port is not only home to several antique shops, but is also said to have an antique market.

The port is too far away, Chen Xiu doesn't plan to go there today, he plans to visit the three antique shops here first.

The first antique shop is near the gym, just across the street from the gym, so it can be said that it is very close, the shop is indeed very small, but about a dozen square meters, almost the size of a garage.

There were no customers in the shop, only one owner was there.

The boss, a middle-aged man in his forties, was lying on a recliner watching TV, and when he saw Chen Xiu come in, he just glanced at him and looked at his TV again.

Obviously, the boss saw Chen Xiu's shabbyness, and he didn't even bother to say hello.

Chen Xiu didn't care about the other party's attitude, glanced around the store, and asked, "Boss, can you touch these things?" ”

"Yes, but be careful, everything I have here is genuine, and you can't afford to break anything."

The boss didn't even raise his head, and after finishing speaking, he warned again: "Don't think about stealing, I have surveillance here." ”

Chen Xiu pursed his lips, but he was not angry, and touched the objects in the store as soon as he got his hands on.

Although this antique shop is not large, it has a lot of things inside, and it is full of various objects, mainly pottery, jade, and agate jade.

Whether these things are real or not, at least they do seem to be worth a lot.

It's just that the placement is too messy, and it can be seen that the shopkeeper rarely cleans and maintains, and many objects have a layer of fine dust on them.

Chen Xiu spent more than twenty minutes touching everything he could touch, and by the time it was over, a few fingers were already jet black.

What disappointed him the most was that so many objects here had no experience points.

Unable to find what he was looking for, Chen Xiu didn't stay any longer, turned around and left the antique shop.

"Freak ......"

The boss muttered as he watched his departing back, and continued to watch his TV.

Chen Xiu followed the address and found a second antique shop, which was much neater and cleaner than the first one, and the owner was a woman in her thirties with a warm attitude.

It's just that there are still no XP items in this antique shop.

The location of the third antique shop is more difficult to find, because Xu Hongyuan can't remember it clearly, so he only wrote a general area on it for him to find by himself.

After Chen Xiu arrived at the place, he asked seven or eight people in a row, and finally found the store in a thrift market.

Although he didn't have much hope, Chen Xiu was still disappointed after finding this shop, this antique shop is not only small, but also has few objects inside.

He tried with the last bit of hope, but in the end, it was the same as the previous two, and he didn't see any experience points.

It took an afternoon and didn't gain anything at all, and this result made Chen Xiu inevitably feel a little disappointed.

However, this negative sentiment did not last long.

When Chen Xiu returned to the gym, he unexpectedly found that the experience bar that had not changed all afternoon had increased a little experience point.
