Chapter 2 The Artist System
In the eighth year of the sea calendar, in June, the wind and the sun are beautiful, the spring is full of life, and the whole world is thriving.
An ordinary house, facing north and south, is not outstanding in this remote Thai Star City.
Simplicity and simplicity are the leitmotif here.
Whether it is the decoration style or the overall layout, it gives people a warm and peaceful atmosphere, and it is natural to calm down in the center.
It covers a small area of small buildings made of two-story blue and red stone bricks and a courtyard paved with bluestone slabs, one inside and one outside, which complement each other.
The thriving greenery in the courtyard is enjoying the warm and scorching sun, stretching its branches and leaves like a graceful girl.
However, the scorching sun above his head and the dull atmosphere around him made a swarthy man in the courtyard stand restless, helpless, sweating from the top of his head, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
What did he seem to be waiting for?
"Why hasn't it come out yet? Why hasn't it come out yet? There won't be an accident, it's impossible, don't scare yourself, you will definitely be safe for the mother and child." ”
The man's palms were all sweaty, his brows were furrowed, and he kept muttering, glancing at the situation in the room from time to time, and he was very anxious.
Ahh
A cry rang out from the room, announcing the arrival of a weak life.
After a while, the door opened, and the wives with wrinkled faces walked out of the room, with a happy smile on her face, looking at the swarthy strong man and announcing the good news.
"It's a son, mother and son are safe. ”
As soon as the man heard this, his clenched fists were released, his constricted brows stretched, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, showing a simple smile on his face.
"Wang Po, thank you, take a Qingxin Pill and leave, give. ”
The man should have done this for the first time, and he looked a little cramped, so he took the medicine bottle in his hand and sent it to Wang Po's arms.
"Okay, knowing that it's easy for you to make money by opening an iron shop, I'll take it. ”
The smile on Wang Po's face was even worse, and she waved her hand away.
Seeing off Wang Po, the swarthy man went up to the second floor with joy on his face and entered the room.
"Thank you, Arou. ”
The swarthy man pinned his wife's loose hair behind his ears with sweet eyes, and carefully wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with affection.
The woman's appearance is not very outstanding, but in the eyes of the Khan people, she is the most beautiful, there is no one.
This series of actions made the woman's heart very warm, and she stretched out her hand and held it tightly with the man's big hand, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Brother Mian, it's a son. ”
"Well, I know. ”
The two of them set their eyes on the small lump of meat next to Arou's pillow, and their hearts were slightly touched.
"It's a son, and according to the previous agreement, he will be called Muchen. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
......
......
"Wood dust? That's a pretty good name. ”
Mu Chen, who was still in a baby state, murmured in his head.
"Did you cross over?"
At the same time, an emotionless system prompt sounded in Mu Chen's mind.
Ding, the artist system is binding.
Ding, the binding is successful.
After listening to the two system prompts, Mu Chen fell into a deep sleep before he had time to check what the painter system was.
......
......
The swarthy man's name is Mu Mian, he is Mu Chen's father, the strength of the ninth layer of qi refining, neither high nor low, runs a gas refining blacksmith shop in Taixing City, because it has been in business for a long time, the quality is good, and he has no worries about food and clothing.
The woman's name is Yurou, she is Mu Chen's mother, and she also has the strength of the ninth layer of qi refining, and usually helps Mu Mian take care of the business of the blacksmith shop.
For some reason, the two dropped out of primary school when they were young, otherwise what would be the end of their achievements?
Since the birth of Mu Chen, Mu Mian has increased his workload intentionally or unintentionally.
Although tired, the savings of the two are also increasing day by day, and the quality of life is slowly improving.
"Arou, according to the current progress, we can exchange it for the exercises of the foundation building chapter in a year, and when the time comes, we will both make a breakthrough and apply for the gas refining blacksmith shop to be the foundation building blacksmith shop, double the scale, and then the days will get better and better." ”
"Uh-huh. ”
A year later, according to the plan, Mu Mian and Yu Rou both broke through to reach the foundation building period, and the blacksmith shop was officially renamed the foundation blacksmith shop.
After being promoted to a blacksmith shop in the foundation period, apprentices can be recruited, and the business is much better than before, and the income is ten times that of the past.
Also this year, Mu Chen opened his mouth and shouted his father and mother, which made the two stupid and happy for a long time.
After coming to this world for a year, through the chat of his father, Mu Chen has a general understanding of it.
First of all, this is a world of cultivating immortals, the kind that can achieve immortality.
Secondly, almost everyone here cultivates immortals.
In then, the Thai Star City, where his family of three lives, is very remote.
More information, Mu Chen's current intelligibility, and the painter's system has not been heard from since it rang once.
Mu Chen wondered if he had heard it wrong.
......
......
The family lived happily, time passed slowly, and five years passed in the blink of an eye.
This year, Muchen was six years old, and he was at the age when he should go to school.
In the past, Mu Mian and Yu Rou only went to primary school and did not continue their studies, delaying the best cultivation time, so their achievements in this life were limited, but they didn't want Mu Chen to follow their footsteps.
"Brother Mian, tomorrow is the time for the unified enrollment of junior high schools, I'll send Chen'er. ”
Looking at Mu Chen, who was playing happily on the side, Yurou said with a motherly smile.
"Uh-huh, this little? ”
"Which elementary school will Chen'er go to?"
Yurou's face was thoughtful.
There are three primary schools in Taixing City, but each with its own quality.
The best quality of teaching is the Morning Star School, from which it is rumored that the highest graduation grade has reached Yuanying, and the collection of books is the first among the three institutions.
The second is the Lingyu Academy, which has also produced Yuan Ying, but it is worse than the morning star.
The last in the ranking is Muyun Academy, Yuan Ying has never been out, knots are very rare, and the teaching quality is the lowest.
"The annual income of our blacksmith shop is three hundred spirit stones, and the tuition fee of Morning Star is as high as five hundred spirit stones a year, and Morning Star does not consider it.
Lingyu Academy, two hundred spirit stones a year, can be considered, as for Muyun, as a school funded by the City Lord's Mansion, the aborigines of Taixing City can study for free. ”
Mu Mian quickly weighed the pros and cons of Sandao Junior High School in his mind.
"Go to Lingyu Academy, let the child's starting point be higher. ”
Gritting his teeth, Mu Mian clapped the board.
At the beginning, Mu Mian and Yu Rou were studying in Muyun Academy, and they had a deep understanding of it, the teachers were really poor, and the environment was even more ......
"Uh-huh. ”
......
......
In five years, Mu Chen has a rough outline of the entire Taixing City, and he also has an understanding of the customs here.
Taixing City, a city under the rule of the Xuanwu Kingdom, covers a vast area and accommodates millions of people.
The inhabitants do their part, forming a perfect cycle.
The largest number of farmers in the city are still farmers, who are mainly responsible for cultivating spiritual fields, planting spiritual rice, and exchanging spiritual stones for self-sufficiency.
The second is the miners, who are mainly responsible for cultivating the surrounding ore and selling it for payment.
Then there are all kinds of shops, such as gas refining pill shops, gas refining blacksmith shops, gas refining talisman shops, and so on.
Above is the city lord's mansion, unified scheduling.
These are just four of them, and there are countless sub-categories that have spawned from them.
The residents live and work in peace and contentment.
Working during the day and meditating at night complement each other.
There are all immortal cultivators in the city, the highest is the city lord, whose strength has reached the early stage of the Yuan Infant, and the lowest should be a six-year-old child, who has not yet started to cultivate.
This city gives Mu Chen a very familiar feeling, similar to his previous life.
Everything was in order, step by step, completely different from the world of cultivating immortals imagined in Mu Chen's mind.
Children between the ages of one and six can play carefree without any worries.
They are not even allowed to cultivate......
Whether it's the daughter of a city lord or a poor student, it's all like that.
This rule seems to have been passed down from the Xuanwu Kingdom......
But after the age of six, you need to go to junior college and start studying.
No matter how difficult or bumpy the family situation is, they have to enter a junior college to study.
Graduation is only permitted after a skill has been acquired to establish one's life.
Early the next morning, Yurou took Mu Chen to Lingyu Academy.
The registration time for Lingyu Academy is eight hours, and there is no sloppiness at all.
When Yurou finished the formalities and successfully registered, it was almost noon.
Seeing Mu Chen enter the school, Yurou left with tears in her eyes.
The junior academy has its own rules, and it is not allowed to leave before it is promoted to the first order of qi refining.
Entering the school, Mu Chen felt very novel, and just when he was at a loss, a gentle female teacher brought the rainy night to the group of twenty-nine people under the shade of the tree.
When there are enough 30 people, the female teacher introduces herself:
"Hello everyone, I am the steward in charge of your food, clothing, housing and transportation in the junior school, you can call me Aunt Fang. ”
"Hello Aunt Fang. ”
The children greeted politely.
Aunt Fang smiled and took the children to the dining hall for dinner, and then took the children on a tour of the campus.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the registration ended, and Mu Chen and the others were taken back to the class.
A total of 990 new children were enrolled in the Academy, divided into 33 classes, each with 30 students.
......
......
After an afternoon of playing, the group of children has become familiar with each other, and when they enter the classroom, everyone is still playing.
The classroom is very bright, spacious, very classical, bookish, and Mu Chen is very satisfied.
It's a pleasure to study in this environment.
Ahem, there were two coughs at the door, and an elegant middle-aged teacher walked in from outside with a smile on his face.
The empty classroom suddenly fell silent......
"Hello, I am the head teacher of Class 33, you can call me Master Liu. ”
"Today, we are not going to class, but we will mainly explain to you the study plan of the junior school, so that you can have a general understanding:
There are three stages of study at the junior level:
The first stage is the basic course, which is to swallow and exhale aura, form a cycle, enter the qi refining period, and learn a large number of basic knowledge of more than ten sub-occupations such as alchemy, refining, drawing, and brewing.
After the qi refining reaches the sixth level, the basic knowledge is assessed and reached the standard before it is allowed to enter the second stage of learning.
In the second stage, each person chooses three skills for further study, and when all three skills can be completed on their own, and they can enter the third stage of learning.
In the third stage, you can choose to refine three skills at the same time, or you can choose to refine only one skill, and when one of them meets the assessment standards, you can graduate from a junior school. ”
Master Liu briefly told the three stages and turned to leave, not caring whether the children understood or not.
After Master Liu left, Aunt Fang continued to take the children to familiarize themselves with the campus and assign dormitories.
A dormitory for four children and not crowded.
After a tiring day, the other three children in the Muchen dormitory quickly fell asleep.
Mu Chen lay on the bed of all solid wood, looked at the bright moon that represented reminiscence, and began to recall what happened today.
This primary school seems to be similar to the elementary school in my previous life.
I don't seem to be afraid of anyone yet.
In his previous life, he seemed to have the title of 'Xueba' on his head.
