Chapter 25 Fragments of Kung Fu
He seemed very patient and carefully read the relevant introductions one by one.
If you don’t have enough money, you will definitely need to spend more energy to choose and try to spend the least amount of money to get things done.
Manniu Kung Fu: After practicing it, one can become extremely powerful and possess the strength of a thousand kilograms.
The huge strength of a thousand catties is actually equivalent to the fifth level of the mortal realm.
No wonder this book of exercises is only sold for two taels of silver.
However, there are certain benefits for ordinary people to practice this technique. When farming, you can directly use yourself as a cow or a horse.
Iron Cloth Shirt: Practice the technique horizontally. After practice, your defense power will be greatly increased, which is equivalent to wearing a piece of iron armor.
…
He read through them one by one, but he hasn't found one that suits his liking.
It’s true that you get what you pay for, and you can’t buy good products at cheap prices.
When he saw the end of the bookshelf, an ancient animal skin scroll lay quietly in a glass cover.
Suddenly his eyes lit up.
The exercises on the bottom of the bookshelf are basically made of paper. Occasionally, there are one or two scrolls of bamboo slips made of simple script exercises.
This ancient animal skin scroll looks like an old antique with a wide open door.
He subconsciously looked at the selling price, which was only five taels of silver.
This is the basic rule of the market that cheap goods are not good.
This ancient animal skin scroll seems to be of extraordinary quality and has a lot of history. However, since the price is so low, there must be something fishy in it.
Qin Niu decided to take a closer look.
Changchun Gong: a health-preserving exercise that, after practice, can nourish qi and blood, warm the spirit and moisturize the soul, and prolong life. This technique is not suitable for fighting, so it’s a broken scroll.
wipe!
No wonder it's so cheap.
Who doesn’t practice to become a strong person, to fight against heaven and earth, and to conquer all directions with fists? If you have practiced Kung Fu but cannot fight or defeat others, then what is the use of practicing it?
Others practice for the sake of fighting, ruthlessness, and plundering, but Qin Niu only seeks immortality.
He doesn't like to fight and kill.
Prefer a leisurely pastoral life.
Farming, raising pets, and practicing cultivation, this is the life he yearns for most.
This volume of Changchun Gong is very suitable for him, and the price is also quite suitable.
The only drawback is that there are only fragments left.
Bookboy, please come over here!
Qin Niu also followed suit and imitated the noble young master's speech.
It is still necessary to be polite and courteous outside.
At least he won't be beaten for his bad words.
Do you want to buy this volume of Changchun Kung Fu?
Although the book boy is just a clerk in the Kung Fu shop, he wears a gray gown and an emblem of the Supreme Sea on his chest. This is a privileged job.
Much better than farmers farming.
The job is easy, from 9 to 5, and the income should be around 5 taels of silver per year.
And there is some room for improvement.
Every time new goods arrive at the Kung Fu store, internal employees have the opportunity to pick up the missing items. Those cheap and high-quality exercises will definitely be snatched up by them as soon as possible.
This is just a fragment of the scroll, can it be smaller?
Qin Niu wanted to lower the price.
I'm sorry, all the exercises in our Supreme Sea are at a fixed price. Just now, a young man bought a volume of superior exercises for five thousand taels of silver, not a penny less.
The attitude of the book boy is neither humble nor arrogant.
Can you take it out and let me have a look at the contents? I just need to read roughly one or two pages.
Qin Niu was afraid of buying a piece of rubbish technique. Five taels of silver was a huge sum of money to him.
The book boy's face twitched.
Sorry, all the secret books in our store do not support open-book inspection. After paying the payment, you can view it however you want. Also, our Supreme Sea is a five-hundred-year-old store in Black Tiger City's Xiulianfang City. With integrity, The basis, whatever is written in the introduction, is what the exercises look like.
The book boy did not rush him after the introduction, but patiently waited for Qin Niu to make his decision.
The business of Zhizhihai is so booming. If nothing else, the service attitude alone is worthy of praise.
Even if the customer only buys one of the worst exercises, he will still be treated like a distinguished guest.
It must be so.
Because no one knows how high the customers who buy secret books such as exercises and martial arts will grow in the future.
There are many examples of buying a volume of the most rubbish exercises and then counterattacking step by step.
I heard that the Black Tiger Gang has a deputy gang leader named Bai Xuezhu. He started practicing the most rubbish Iron Clothes Kung Fu technique, and now he has become the best kung fu master in the Black Tiger Gang.
He made countless outstanding military exploits for the Black Tiger Gang to expand its territory. If you offend such a person, even the Ten Plus Kung Fu Store will be destroyed.
Qin Niu hesitated for a moment and decided to buy this volume of skills.
Originally, my psychological expectations were not high, so I planned to buy a volume of rubbish exercises that suited me and go back to practice.
The current volume of Changchun Gong, judging from its condition, is at least qualified to be placed on the second floor of the bookshelf.
Mainly because it is a fragment, its value is greatly reduced.
Then, coupled with the addition of another volume of exercises that were not suitable for practice, the market popularity further decreased.
That's it, take it out!
Qin Niu turned around and walked directly to the counter.
There were so many people buying the exercise secrets and queuing up to check out.
The entire Black Tiger Gang has jurisdiction over at least more than 5,000 square kilometers and has a population of more than one million. The actual number is likely to be over 1.5 million.
There are too many rich and powerful people in this land.
There are also many young people like Qin Niu who want to make progress. They scrape together some money from part-time jobs and come here to buy exercise secrets in the hope of becoming stronger.
Martial arts, beast control, insect control, and planting techniques do not need to be registered, only martial arts skills need to be registered.
Qin Niu was guided to counter No. 2 to pay.
Please have your belt ready.
The book boy reminded him.
The waist badge is equivalent to a modern ID card. It is made of a bamboo slip with Qin Niu's household registration information engraved on it. People in areas governed by the Black Tiger Gang will have a lifelike black tiger pattern on the back of their waist badges.
Although it may look like just a black tiger pattern, it is difficult to imitate.
Moreover, those who are found to be counterfeiting their badges will at least be sent to a black jail in a large prison for trial. In severe cases, officers and soldiers may even be beheaded on the spot.
Ordinary people wear waist tags. Even Yan Ruhai, a big landowner with thousands of fertile fields, will only be given a waist tag made of bamboo slips if he has no other status.
But the officials wore fish charms made of metal.
Since iron rusts easily, it is mostly made of brass.
Higher level fish charms are made of silver and gold. The lowest level fish charm is made of ironwood.
It looks like black iron, heavy and hard, but it's actually not black iron, but wood.
For example, quasi-beast masters, quasi-insect masters, high-level farmers, and those who have passed the junior level, all of their waist cards are iron wood fish talismans.
In this world, the status of traders is very low.
Even if he makes a fortune, he is still just a commoner.
Qin Niu took out his waist card and five taels of silver and waited patiently in line.
A moment later it was his turn.
A special scribe asked for his badge to verify that it was genuine, and then the registration started. When he bought it, he recorded it clearly.
Only the price is not recorded.
This should be for tax avoidance.
Because this registration file must be handed over to the government for retention, the exercise shop must be afraid of being audited!
When registering, I was careful not to record the selling price of the exercises.
After Qin Niu paid the money, the longevity skill belonged to him.
You can practice the exercises by yourself or lend them to others to practice, but you are not allowed to copy and sell them, otherwise you will be severely punished according to the laws of the Black Tiger Gang.
The book boy reminded him.
There is no problem in copying and playing by yourself. But selling it to others is illegal.
In fact, for safety reasons, no one is willing to lend their skills to others for practice.
Unless it is passed down from father to son.
Because showing the skills to others will expose some of the weaknesses of the skills to the enemy. This is an extremely stupid approach.
A father's love for his son is often selfless and great.
There are very few unfaithful sons who turn against their father, so it is more common for father to son to pass down the family.
Many family practices are passed down from generation to generation.
In order to prevent the skills from leaking out, it is generally passed on to men rather than to women.
Because a woman will get married, and when the time comes to pass it on to her husband and son, the practice will be leaked to the outside world.
After Qin Niu bought Changchun Gong, he did not check it on the spot.
Instead, put it away directly next to your body.
Now that the skills are settled, here are the three things: insect control techniques, weapons, and low-level contract talismans.
As a weapon, he wanted to buy a machete made of hundreds of refined steel, which could be used to kill enemies and hunt as well as chop wood. The price of a piece of hundred-refined black armor is as high as five hundred taels of silver. It is estimated that a weapon made of hundred-refined steel will cost at least a hundred taels of silver.
He still has twenty taels left on him, so it may be difficult to buy weapons made of hundreds of refined steel.
After thinking for a while, Qin Niu decided to buy the most urgently needed and important things first.
Insect Control Techniques must be purchased.
Now that there is a colony of termites, he is still a complete noob who doesn't know anything about how to cultivate them.
For example, yesterday I fed them bear blood, and some of the termites that ate bear blood turned into powerful worker ants and powerful soldier ants. This shows that bear blood can allow them to evolve.
If he masters the knowledge of cultivating insects through systematic study, he can make termites evolve faster and better.
Coming to the bookshelf where the insect control techniques were located, Qin Niu began to search for the required content.
I've searched all over and can't find any books on termite breeding.
The most popular ones are the cultivation and domestication techniques of Coleoptera, spiders, scorpions, and centipedes.
The purpose of raising a poisonous insect is still to fight.
As long as the poisonous insects are released to bite the enemy, the enemy will be immediately incapacitated and even killed directly.
Qin Niu had limited funds, so he wanted to buy these insect-control books, but he had to buy what was urgently needed right now.
It seems that only this volume of the Green Devil's Bee Breeding Manual is more consistent.
He stopped in front of a scroll of insect control techniques.
Bees and ants have certain similarities. If you learn them well, you can consider raising a swarm of bees in the future.
In this way, everything that crawls on the ground and flies in the sky will be available.
It can greatly improve his combat ability.
Is Green Goblin a person's nickname?
Qin Niu always felt that this bee breeding technique was a bit evil.
