Chapter 20 Mission
One taught with heart, the other learned carefully, plus Richard almost had the ability to never forget, and after repeating it a few times, he was able to make the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife Method look like it, and also mastered the trick of making force.
This made Liu Wuwei admire, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and began to doubt his talent in martial arts.
Think back to the beginning
Liu Wu practiced pile gong and other basic exercises for three years before he was taught this Five Tigers Broken Door Knife Method by his master, and it took more than three months of hard work to make it look like it.
How long did it take the young master?
It was only more than half an hour from front to back, during which Liu Wu pointed out the move, and Richard was able to comprehend it immediately, and it was already very similar to it when he used it again.
Seriously, there's nothing magical about it.
There are only 64 moves in the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife Technique, and when Li Wu followed the master to learn the art, he learned one move a day, and he had to practice it repeatedly.
64 moves are used consecutively, that is, it looks like it takes less than three minutes, and if you are fast, you can finish it in two minutes.
Liu Wu's 64 tricks are taught together, coupled with Richard's unforgettable intelligence, it is not difficult to learn, but the difficult thing is how to make the knife more powerful?
The same knife technique has different powers in the hands of different people.
Richard's strength, agility, and physical strength are all far beyond ordinary people, once this knife technique is mastered, the power rises sharply after being proficient, and soon it will be able to fight back and forth with Liu Wu, who has 8 successful power output.
This kind of rapid improvement in strength, looking at Liu Wu stunned, not to mention the admiration in his heart, he should be convinced, and he became more and more careful.
Two days later
Shanhaiguan held a grand inauguration ceremony in red and green, sacrificing to heaven and earth, praying to God, that scene is really noisy with gongs and drums, lively and extraordinary.
The gate of Shanhaiguan is made of thick giant wood, and the heavy wooden latch requires two people to lift it, and there are two upper and lower doors, which can connect the two gates into a whole.
Due to financial constraints, it was originally planned that the outward-facing side of the door would be covered with steel plates, inlaid with steel corners, and reinforced with steel bars, but these steps would have to wait for a later date.
The 4-meter-high walled wall extends more than 170 meters, lying between the valley mouths, one end connects the mountain cliffs, and the other end goes deeper than ten meters away from the Yudai River, protecting the huge grape valley.
The wall is made entirely of logs closely packed with logs, with diagonal supports and a one-meter-wide wooden path inside, which looks sturdy and tall and has a good defensive ability.
The musketeers of the Datang Society can patrol along the wooden path at the top of the wall, and the tall wall can block the invasion of wild beasts and the damage of wandering bandits, just looking at it is very reassuring.
With the completion of Shanhaiguan, the Datang Society's move won unanimous praise from the Chinese and its prestige was unprecedentedly high.
Three days before and after
The camp at the top of the hill is also beginning to take shape, surrounded by a wooden wall about 2.5 meters high has been built, the "door" shaped house is under construction, the long stable can raise more than 40 horses, and there are several solid warehouses.
It is expected that in another week, it will be fully built.
At the inauguration ceremony of Shanhaiguan
Taking advantage of the excitement of the crowd, Richard publicly announced that everyone was waiving the five-dollar fee for the month, and that he would start paying it in April, which caused a round of cheers again.
If you can pay less than one monthly money, that is earned, who can be unhappy?
meanwhile
Richard announced that Datang would use a credit guarantee to keep Jinsha and other property for the Chinese gold diggers for a fee, and issued a certificate to charge only 6% of the annual storage fee.
This initiative provides a good way for Chinese gold diggers who have nowhere to hide their belongings.
Of course, this is a paid service that comes for a fee.
After the celebration
An endless stream of Chinese laborers embarked on the road to the Washington River to pan for gold, hoping that as long as they found the golden sands and brought them back, they would have no worries about being bullied and robbed by white cowboys.
When it comes to diligent work, who else will Chinese workers be afraid of?
Early spring in March
The climate in San Francisco is cold in the spring, with plenty of sunshine at noon, but it is still quite cold in the morning and evening, with temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius, freezing the land hard.
In such a cold climate, panning for gold by the river is quite sinful, and it doesn't take long for my hands to soak in the icy river water and sift the pan back and forth, and it won't take long for it to freeze and numb.
It's only a little better at noon, and you can catch some golden sands during this sunny time.
It is not until after April that the weather warms up dramatically, and whites, Chinese and Mexican gold prospectors flock to the rivers of the Americas for the peak gold rush season.
meanwhile
The fierce conflicts caused by the competition for territory and the golden sands have also risen sharply, and the corpses floating in the river of the Americas from time to time fully illustrate the cruel law of the jungle in the gold mining area.
in the Grape Valley
Most of the Chinese laborers have dispersed, leaving only more than 260 people to build the camp, still in full swing of construction, along the Shanhaiguan piled up a large number of logs, all kinds of wooden planks, which are all harvested surplus wood, piled here to dry naturally.
Not far away, on the edge of the red oak forest, French military instructor Mike Rabiot was leading the soldiers in training, and the sound of gunfire after row sounded much denser than before.
On the flat ground between two log piles
A cloud of snow-bright sword light tumbled up, and the figure in the sword light was as strong as a swimming dragon, suddenly to the left, and suddenly to the right, and the splashed sword light was like a raging storm, disturbing the air and making a slight screaming sound......
After a long time
The light of the knife dissipated, Richard's chest rose and fell violently and slowly withdrew the knife, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Bai Hao's forehead, and his face looked extremely ruddy after exercise.
With a long exhale, he walked to the wooden pile on the side in a few steps, picked up the kettle and poured it a few times, only then did he wipe the water flowing from his jaw, and felt the heat and soreness after a lot of exercise.
Now that a week has passed, his Five Tigers Broken Door Knife Technique has become a small success, and his strength has greatly improved with the naked eye.
is roughly able to compete with Liu Wu, who is at full output, although he is slightly inferior, but the difference is not big.
Picking up a towel and wiping the sweat on his face, Richard sat on the pile of logs, and while taking a break, he called up the system interface, and his face quickly became exciting.
After the addition is completed, the data of Richard's personal attributes panel is; Stamina 2.5, Intelligence 2.3, Bloodline 2.1, Strength 2.4, Agility 2.7, Fertility 1.9.
free attribute points; None, Talent, None, Mutant Ability, None, Beast Ability, None, Bloodline Ability, None, Potential Point, None.
After the last free attribute point was added to the strength, Richard's physical fitness improved in an all-round way, and the overall strength showed a considerable increase, and there were no obvious shortcomings in physical strength, agility, strength, and intelligence.
If there is a simple analogy, it is basically equivalent to a second-round pick in the NBA draft, and his physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people.
In this world, there are indeed gifted beings.
The kind of NBA basketball rookie players who are one in 100,000 have extraordinary physical gifts, which they rely on to dominate the court.
In the NBA round, there are some "physical fitness monsters", especially black athletes who are good at sports, which is really amazing.
Richard's wishful thinking in his heart is to open and hang, relying on asymmetric advantages, isn't it stupid not to hug such thick thighs?
Didn't Lin Zhanyuan practice Tongzigong since he was a child, and he has obtained the true transmission of Southern Shaolin?
It's okay, I'm hanging.
Isn't Lin Zhanyuan known as "fist, leg, knife three unique, two Guangxi rare opponents"?
It's okay, I'm hanging.
There are three prestige tasks that are ongoing in the Richard system panel, which are;
Prestige Mission; 9989/10000, incomplete.
force tasks; 1477/1000 completed.
Prestige title quest "San Francisco Chinese Gold Prospector Protector"; 2547/2955 incomplete.
After Richard accepted the invitation to fight the duel with Lin Zhanyuan, the leader of the Young Gang of the Agreement Hall, he deliberately sent a large number of people to spread the news, which further increased his popularity, not only to the vast majority of Chinese immigrants, but also to many local whites and Mexicans.
Now, there is only a thin line away from the final completion of the "Prestige Mission".
Richard is very much looking forward to what a huge reward the system can bring to him after completing this task.
force tasks; 1477/1000 completed.
This refers to the number of people that the Datang Society can command and mobilize, and Richard mobilized Chinese laborers to build Shanhaiguan without pay, and this action was tacitly tacitly accepted by the system to live in the Grape Valley that the Chinese laborers belonged to the Datang Society.
Previously, he had completed the three power level missions of 10, 100, and 1000.
The rewards are; The Prestige Store is officially open.
Currently, the Prestige Shop has three categories: Tickets, Blueprints, and Cold Weapons.
Richard studied it carefully and found that the prestige store was full of good things, which were good for building and expanding his power, but not for personal strength.
For example, tickets;
In today's prestige store, you can choose to exchange for custom tickets, which can be "Datang Club Gold Equivalent Exchange Coupon" or "XX Bank Exchange Coupon", which is equivalent to currency in nature.
The US dollar, British pound, franc, mark, peso and custom currency in the ticket system are all gray and have not yet been turned on.
Other words;
This rudimentary custom coupon can be redeemed without the need for a printing house to have strong anti-counterfeiting performance, similar to the US dollar notes issued by popular state banks and insurance companies in St. Francis, with a monetary function.
As long as the reputation of Datang Club is loud enough, the bills issued are widely known and have enough strength to guarantee it, then this custom ticket can be used as currency.
In the San Francisco market, golden sands, gold bullion, pounds, francs, marks, Spanish silver coins, and U.S. dollar bills issued by banks and insurance companies in various U.S. states can be used as currency.
If Datang will set up a bank in the future, this exchange function will become a powerful tool for expansion, because the custom coupons produced by the system are non-replicable, as long as there is enough strength to endorse, the future is worth looking forward to.
But this thing is a bit far away and won't be useful for a while.
For example, the drawings are currently open to production drawings, and can now be exchanged for the use of "waterwheel gold panning trough" drawings, "waterwheel mill" drawings, "waterwheel rice mill" drawings, "waterwheel forging hammer" drawings, etc., which are basically primary drawings that meet the productivity level of today's era.
Find some carpenters to follow the map, and you'll be able to build it.
Let's be honest
This is to build an industrial base of a comprehensive power, and there are further drawings that have not been opened up in the future, and Richard is not in a hurry to do it, but waits.
Cold weapons, swords, guns, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, and even the equipment of French cuirassiers, and they can be customized at a certain price.
This thing, Li sensed, if he wanted to arm a team of elite cuirassiers in the future, it might be useful. But it is not urgently needed at the moment.
Since it is a prestige store, there must be a price to pay for the exchange, and after completing the three power level tasks of 10, 100, and 1000, Richard has 1110 more prestige points in his account.
In other words, for each additional person he expands, he gains one more reputation point.
Fame Points can be exchanged for items in the Fame Shop, and can also be exchanged for Fame Points for Gold at a rate of 1 point for 1 ounce of gold.
The standard Tang Knife that Richard is currently using in his hand is redeemed from the Reputation Shop, and it needs a reputation point.
If you use the gold price ratio, it is 1 ounce of gold, which is worth about $20.
The price is too high, Richard feels that this knife is particularly sharp when he uses it, and the steel mouth is particularly good, and he doesn't know what alloy it is made of.
But at this price, you can buy 15 steel knives, even if you use them yourself, it is too cost-effective to equip ordinary soldiers, you can only think about it.
From the above experiences, we can summarize some characteristics;
Completing each level of prestige quest rewards you get can greatly increase your strength, whether it is strength, physical strength, intelligence, agility, or bloodline, which is extremely beneficial.
The rewards obtained for completing each level of power tasks are used to promote the overall power increase, and the benefits to the individual are not obvious, focusing on long-term development.
The 3rd prestige title quest "San Francisco Chinese Gold Prospector Protector" has not yet been completed.
progress display; 2547/2955 Chinese unfinished
According to Richard's private speculation;
This should be that there are 2,955 Chinese in the whole of San Francisco, including all men and women. It has to be known to everyone in order to complete the task.
His fame has spread so well in the Chinese community that few people don't know about it.
If there is
It can only be the women in the brothels controlled by the agreement hall or the Chinese gold diggers in remote areas of the river, and the Chinese gold diggers will not talk about it for the time being, just talk about these "pig flowers" who are trafficked to North America.
They are not interested in fighting and killing by nature, and they are trapped in a brothel village, and the news is relatively closed.
Dealing with the guests coming and going every day, I have lived miserably enough, how can I have the leisure to care about others?
Whether the guess is accurate or not remains to be verified by time.
Now, Richard's main concern is the "mission of prestige", which is almost completed......
