In front of the notice board in Qibao County, Dayan Country, Qingmu Mansion.
It was midday, the sun was shining brightly, and the hot air was filled with the chirping of cicadas.
"Hey, you guys, listen, although our Hongchen Inn is not a big place, it doesn't accept everyone. Our Hongchen Inn has very high requirements for waiters. Among you, there can only be one
I will become a waiter in this shop. The selected person can follow me back to the Hongchen Inn for food, accommodation, and a monthly salary of ten taels of silver. This price is higher than that paid by the inn in Qibao County.
Too much."
A skinny man with a smile on his face touched his upper lip to his lower lip and spoke eloquently. He was about forty years old, dressed in green clothes and had a goatee. He had the air of a teacher, with a narrow and slender face.
His eyes were radiant, as if he could see through people's hearts.
Surrounding the skinny man were more than two dozen young people, the oldest in his twenties and the youngest around thirteen or fourteen years old. Although these teenagers came from different families, they had one obvious thing in common.
That is - poverty! These teenagers are all wearing coarse clothes, and many of them are even patched.
Precisely because they are poor, this group of young people cherish this opportunity very much. They are all gearing up to become the waiters of Hongchen Inn. For them, being able to become the waiters of Hongchen Inn is no different from the carp leaping over the dragon gate, at least.
Can make a living.
The teenagers kept pushing forward, looking at the rather ugly and skinny man with eager eyes.
At the same time, the skinny man was also looking at the group of teenagers, judging each person's general situation. His eyes swept over the last child, he pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Who among you is better?"
You can't tell it by just looking at it. You have to compare it with your hands. If it's a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out and run around. Of course, taking the test for waiter in a shop is different from taking the first prize. The test is not about eight-legged essay, but
Something related to the waiter. If you want to be a good waiter, you can't do it without a good physique, so this first test is to test your physical fitness."
As he spoke, the skinny man patted his chest twice, making two muffled sounds.
"Come on, come on, you guys come up one by one and hit me with your fists. Let me see which of you is stronger. Although being stronger does not mean that you have better physical strength, people with poor physical strength will definitely not be strong. In this first round
In the test, whoever has greater strength will pass, and whoever has less strength will be eliminated."
After that, the skinny man put his hands behind his back, smiled and stood still, waiting for the teenagers to hit him.
The teenagers looked at me and I looked at you, and they all hesitated. Only a slightly older young man had the courage to step forward, gritted his teeth, puffed out his cheeks, and hit the skinny man on the chest with all his strength.
This young man was quite strong and strong, but when he punched the skinny man, it was like hitting cotton wool and there was no sound at all. The young man looked surprised and took two steps back in astonishment.
"Very good, very good. You are very strong. You can stay and wait for the second test." The skinny man smiled with satisfaction and his eyes fell on the second shorter child. "Then it's your turn. Come here quickly."
Punch me, hit me in the chest or stomach."
The short boy stepped forward timidly, yelled and punched the skinny man. His strength was much smaller than that of the first young man, and he pretended to be eliminated.
In this way, the teenagers stepped forward and punched people one by one. The stronger ones were kept, while the weaker ones were eliminated and left sadly.
…
A young man named Zhao Zheng stood in the crowd of applicants, feeling frustrated, fearing that he would be rejected due to lack of strength. He wanted to be a waiter in this shop, not for the mere salary of twelve months in January, but for another reason.
There is a reason.
Zhao Zheng is different from others. He is actually a time traveler who has traveled from the earth. He has a completely different view of the world from the natives.
He knew in his heart that this was actually a world in a game! Although this world was real, visible and tangible, it was built based on an online game.
This online game is called "Jianma Jianghu". The game is a martial arts world with bright clothes, angry horses, and happy grudges. In this world, there are extremely powerful martial arts, stunning beauties, and beautiful historical sites.
There are also mysterious adventures!
Zhao Zheng likes this martial arts online game very much. He has played it for several years and has become familiar with all the various features in the game.
Just half a month ago, he accidentally spilled a bottle of mineral water while playing a game. The water dripped down the table into the computer case, causing a short circuit and sparks flying everywhere. His fingers touched the electricity and he felt a
An electric current coursed through his body, and he fainted immediately. When he woke up again, he had become a wanderer in this game world.
This homeless child was nameless, about fifteen years old, weak, malnourished, and without any physical strength. As a body, it was really not good, but God did not give Zhao Zheng a choice.
After traveling through time, he learned through inquiring that the name of the place here is Qibao County. The name of this county and town happened to be exactly the same as a novice city in the game "Jianma Jianghu". Based on this, he began to suspect that this was the city in the game.
The world conducted many inquiries and confirmed that the speculation was true.
Not only are the place names here the same as those in the game world, but some of the names, sects and era names are also exactly the same.
In terms of time, this is just when the server of "Jianma Jianghu" has just been launched, and this gorgeous and colorful martial arts picture has just been unveiled.
The game world of "Jianma Jianghu" strives to be real. There is a clear timeline and year number in the game. As the game progresses, the time in the game also advances little by little. With this, Zhao Zheng can take the lead in judging this.
What big events are about to happen in the world?
He is like a reborn person who has seen the future of this world.
Half a month later, Zhao Zheng had accepted the reality of time travel and made detailed plans for the future.
He is an old player of "Jingma Jianghu" and knows this online game well. He can use his understanding of this game to take advantage of every step, join the best sect, learn the best skills, and grab the most
The sharp magic weapon!
He can make a big name in this martial arts world and realize the dream of a passionate man riding horses in the world.
If you want to make a career in the world, you will naturally have to learn martial arts. There are many martial arts sects in Qibao County, but they are all very small and insignificant, so they are really not the best choice. Zhao Zheng thought about it, starting from this area
We have selected the best choice, and that is Hongchen Inn!
This inn is a black shop, and there are no martial arts masters in charge of it. However, in another year, an evil person will pass by this place and stay overnight in the inn.
This evil man stole a peerless martial arts book "Nine Meridians and Six Yuan Jing" from another martial arts master. This is a genuine high-grade martial arts book. It not only records the mental methods used for cultivation, but also records
There are several martial arts that are performed in conjunction with the mental method. Each martial arts alone is a very powerful secret skill.
In the game, Hongchen Inn is a mission location. The content of the mission is to steal the "Nine Meridians and Six Elements Classic" from this evil man and return it to the martial arts master who lost the secret book.
People can learn from the secret books in the process of returning them. As long as the good and evil values are not negative, there is no need to worry about being punished.
This mental method secret book "Nine Meridians and Six Yuan Jing" is much better than the mental methods of those small sects and sects. It is an excellent choice for martial arts students who are new to the world.
In the game, this is a hidden mission that requires chance to trigger. The first step of the mission is to pass the test of the accountant "Smiling Ghost" Wang Er and become a boy at Hongchen Inn. Only in this way,
Only then can you meet the evil person who comes to stay in the hotel in the future.
Zhao Zheng knew about this in advance, so he came to the bulletin board in Qibao County early and waited for several days. It was only today that the "Smiling Ghost" Wang Er finally arrived.
…
The first test soon came to Zhao Zheng. He was the last person who did not throw a punch. Fully two-thirds of the previous applicants had been screened out, leaving only seven people.
Zhao Zheng took a deep breath, stepped forward, and walked towards Wang Er. He was in a state of confusion and was not completely sure. If it were before, he still had some strength, but after traveling here, his soul has declined.
When it comes to a fifteen-year-old street boy, his physical strength is not as good as before. Whether he can pass the first test is really unknown.
If he is eliminated in the first test, then Zhao Zheng will definitely cry without tears. If he misses this task, he will have no choice but to join those small sects and learn some inferior mental methods. This
The world is very dangerous. Before he has the ability to protect himself, he cannot venture into other places. He can only temporarily settle in Qibao County to seek development.
"Punch, little baby." Wang Er said with a smile. He was always smiling, and his smile was very ugly, so he was nicknamed the Laughing Ghost.
Zhao Zheng stood still, took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and secretly moved his middle finger forward to make it protrude in front. He did this in order to concentrate his energy on one point and improve the punch.
the pain caused.
The Laughing Ghost narrowed his eyes and keenly caught Zhao Zheng's little move. His eyes showed admiration and his smile became even stronger.
"ha!"
Zhao Zheng punched Wang Er solidly in the stomach. His fist sank in instantly, as if he had fallen into a quagmire, and his strength immediately disappeared. Before he could recover, an uncomfortable feeling came from the opponent's stomach.
The force, which was light or not, bounced his hand back. The force was just right, allowing him to retract his fist, but he did not feel a strong impact.
"Martial arts is indeed magical. I punched him, but nothing happened to him. Only those who have reached a certain level of internal and external skills can do this. If I can learn the "Nine Meridians and Six Yuan Jing"
"It is estimated that it will not take long to reach his level." Zhao Zheng secretly praised in his heart, and his yearning for martial arts has increased.
Wang Er looked Zhao Zheng up and down, hesitated, nodded and said: "Little baby, your strength is not up to par, a little bit behind, but I saw that you are smart and good at adapting to changes, so I made an exception and counted you through.
, and see how you perform in the next two tests."
"Thank you, sir, for being open to the Internet." Zhao Zheng was overjoyed and clasped his fists and made a long bow. He breathed a sigh of relief. In the guide of the forum, the contents of these three tests were clearly written, and only the first one was a test.
Strength, the other two tests are all oral answers. He still remembers the answers to the two oral answers and is full of confidence in passing the last two tests.
Wang Er stopped looking at Zhao Zheng, looked around at everyone, and said with a smile: "You guys have all passed the first test. It's time for the second test. Being a waiter in an inn requires more than just strength.
, you have to be smart enough. I will pose a question here, and you will answer it together. Whoever can answer it correctly will pass.";
