It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

Nothing happened on the way back.

Qi Shuo no longer lives in the house and has been busy with the affairs of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce. He only comes to visit him from time to time.

So when Zhou An and Ye Shuang returned to the house, it was still empty.

Zhou An opened the door and let Ye Shuang enter the room, then went in and closed the door.

Ye Shuang naturally found the oil lamp and lit it.

I'll make your bed. Are you sure you want to rest here? Zhou An asked.

Ye Shuang nodded seriously and said, I'm going to have a good rest and eat something good these days. Your place is the safest.

This girl looks stupid and has no experience in the world, but she is actually a very smart person.

In Yunlai Mansion, where else is more comfortable than Zhou An's place?

What's more, she has to eat and drink like crazy in Yunlai Mansion for several days. Zhou An happens to have stayed here for so long, so he must have experience.

Just like in Anding County, Zhou An took her to eat a lot of things she had never eaten before.

It doesn't matter to Zhou An. Anyway, he already tried it once when he was in Anding County, so it doesn't matter if he does it again.

After making the bed for Ye Shuang, he went directly back to the house.

Ye Shuang didn't talk too much like an annoying person, and also went back to the house to sleep.

However, after Zhou An returned to the house, he did not sleep, but went to the backyard.

The backyard also belongs to him. At this time, half of the yard has been dug and clean water has been supplied.

The swimming pool has been built.

Qi Shuo works quickly.

And it's very neat, never procrastinating.

Zhou An appreciates this very much.

He didn't have much proficiency during the day today. As for the night, he planned to swim hard here and try to improve his swimming to level two.

Moreover, the skill of swimming will not disturb others.

Looking at the clean pool below, Zhou An didn't hesitate, took off his coat, jumped in, and started to get excited silently.

Time gradually passed, and just before dawn, he finally stopped, climbed out of the swimming pool, and used the energy in his body to evaporate the water stains on the surface of his clothes.

In front of me, a line of text appeared.

[Swimming lv.2 (water +1): 1/20000]

After reaching level two, you finally get the corresponding attributes.

Zhou An closed his eyes, carefully sensing the information in his body, and finally opened his eyes after a moment.

After acquiring a new skill, Zhou An naturally wanted to try it.

Although the clothes have been dried, it does not prevent him from jumping into the water again.

thump!

As Zhou An jumped into the water, Zhou An felt a special touch.

There's still resistance from the surrounding water, but it's much less.

And he felt like he was becoming as comfortable as a fish in the water.

Very good. As long as I continue to improve, I will be able to show my strength on land sooner or later.

Zhou An was very satisfied.

After trying for a while, he climbed out.

After drying the clothes again, Zhou An looked at the sky outside.

He estimated that it was only half an hour before dawn.

rest for a bit.

Having been promoted to Level 2, Zhou An plans to take a rest.

Back in the house, lying on the bed, Zhou An started to take a nap.

…

The night passed quickly, until the next morning came, Zhou An was woken up by a knock on the door.

The knock on the door was very urgent, as if he was very anxious.

Zhou An had just gotten up when he heard Ye Shuang's voice.

Zhou An, are you awake? It's three o'clock in the morning now. We can go out to eat something. I'm so hungry.

Only then did Zhou An remember that there was someone else in the room. He put his hand on his forehead helplessly and sat up from the bed.

After getting dressed, I opened the door.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Ye Shuang with an innocent look on his face, covering his stomach and shouting that he was hungry.

Zhou An said helplessly: Can't you go out to eat first?

It's really getting late now.

Ye Shuang touched her head: I'm afraid that I'll eat something bad and my stomach won't be full.

Zhou An felt even more helpless when he heard this.

But I also know that it’s really time to eat.

After washing up, he took Ye Shuang out.

Ye Shuang had already dressed up as the girl in Cinderella. After walking out of the gate and onto the street, she looked left and right, looking very curious.

People like this who have no experience in the world of martial arts behave like this when they go to a new place, eager to express their thoughts.

If Ye Shuang hadn't pretended to be cold in her beauty state, people in the world would have figured out his character.

Along the way, the vendors on the street kept shouting and selling, and the streets were full of smoke and fire.

Zhou An likes this noisy feeling very much, especially the sounds of people passing by, the sounds of street vendors, and the sounds of various pots and pans clashing. He especially likes them.

These are all derived from the breath of life. Although it is a bit vulgar, it is close to life.

He took Ye Shuang directly to a small stall.

In front of the stall, there was a large stove with firewood burning brightly and scalding boiling water inside.

A foodie not only eats by mouth, but also has a very sharp nose.

As soon as Ye Shuang arrived, he sniffed his little nose and smelled a special smell. His eyes lit up slightly, he looked directly at Zhou An, tilted his head and said: This is noodles, it's noodles again, I eat them in Anding County I’ve had noodles for a long time, and I’ve eaten a lot in the places I’ve traveled recently.”

After being taken to eat noodles by Zhou An several times in Anding County, she would try them everywhere she went, but now she is really tired of them.

But when Zhou An brought her here, she was very confused. She always felt that there was something wrong with the place Zhou An brought her to.

Zhou An turned his head, looking very serious.

I can give you raw melon and eggs, no, but can I take you to eat the same old food?

When Ye Shuang heard this, she finally knew what it meant. She clapped her hands excitedly and pulled Zhou An to a seat to sit down.

As soon as he sat down, Zhou An shouted to the shop owner.

Boss, two bowls of bread noodles.

Okay! The boss agreed without raising his head and continued to cook in the pot.

Ye Shuang heard Zhou An's statement and asked strangely: Is the bedding cooked inside the quilt?

After saying the word bedding, Ye Shuang naturally thought of this.

What kind of dark food are you thinking of? Zhou An was speechless and could only explain it once.

Benggaomian, because the dough is very wide and resembles a bedroll, so it is named Bamboo Noodles. You won't understand it even if you tell me about it, but you will know it when you try it.

Hearing what Zhou An said, Ye Shuang became even more excited.

After waiting for a while, two bowls of hot bed noodles were served.

Ye Shuang stirred it up with chopsticks, then pulled out a round piece of dough.

The entire bowl of noodles is made up of this kind of dough, which is one piece.

This is the characteristic of the bedding surface, just like a bedding.

Ye Shuang saw it for the first time. He took a bite excitedly, and then his eyes lit up.

tasty!

After saying these two words, she lowered her head and started eating quickly, so fast that it made people's jaws drop.

To be honest, Zhou An felt that eating with this girl would make his appetite better.

Sometimes, if other people enjoy eating something like this, they will also enjoy it themselves.

Zhou An didn't say much and continued to eat.

The two of them lowered their heads and ate without even having time to say a word.

After finishing the last mouthful of hot soup, Ye Shuang wiped his mouth with satisfaction and narrowed his eyes, looking like he was enjoying it very much.

Zhou An, I really saw you right.

The corner of Zhou An's mouth twitched slightly: I think so. If I take you to eat more, if I sell you, you still have to count the money for me.

It's impossible. I'm so smart. My teacher said that I'm actually quite smart. Ye Shuang said proudly.

Zhou An's mouth twitched slightly, stood up, and settled the money: Let's go, I will continue to take you to eat other things.

At least it helped him hide what happened this time. Zhou An felt that it was normal to reciprocate.

So, he took Ye Shuang and started walking around Yunlai Mansion.

Ye Shuang enjoyed eating all kinds of snacks.

The whole person is in a state of extreme happiness.

If colors could be seen in the eyes, Zhou An felt that Ye Shuang's eyes must be in the shape of little stars.

The two of them just ate and walked around until the afternoon.

Zhou An really spent a lot of money today. It's not about money. Money is nothing. Qi Shuo gave a lot.

So many that I don’t even bother to count them.

Mainly because he didn't have liver proficiency today.

Others can help you hide such important things, so it doesn't matter if you spend some time with you.

After wandering around, the two of them came to a place.

There were several policemen blocking the way ahead, preventing anyone from getting close.

Zhou An took a general look and found that there were densely packed rooms and the guards were extremely tight.

After thinking about it for a moment, he figured out where it was.

Isn't Yunlai Mansion holding an imperial examination?

This is the examination room for the imperial examination.

Outsiders will certainly not be allowed in.

Zhou An thought for a while and started walking back with Ye Shuang.

Ye Shuang also knew that this was an examination room. After all, someone with her status could be understood at a glance.

The two walked back, found another place, had a special meal, and then returned to the house.

After returning, Zhou An continued to focus on swimming as usual.

Ye Shuang didn't go to sleep, and tiptoed to where Zhou An was, watching Zhou An splashing in the water.

Zhou An also felt Ye Shuang's arrival, stopped his movements, and asked strangely: What are you doing?

Ye Shuang looked around and said, Zhou An, are you going to work as a supervisor?

As a member of the Supervision Department, Ye Shuang is here to investigate this matter again, so Ye Shuang naturally knows Zhou An's situation.

Zhou An leaned against the edge of the swimming pool with his hands on it, looking peaceful.

That's about it. I accidentally won first place this time. I have to get over it.

Ye Shuang slowly squatted down and began to take off her shoes.

What are you doing? Zhou An became alert.

Ye Shuang raised her head and said cutely: Let's soak your feet.

Weren't you talking to me just now? Why did you think of soaking your feet? Zhou An said speechlessly: And this is cold water.

The weather is hot. Ye Shuang sat by the swimming pool, took off her shoes and put them aside.

White feet soaked in the water.

Before Zhou An could speak, Ye Shuang picked up the topic again.

Zhou An, you have to be careful.

What do you want me to be careful about? Zhou An asked.

Ye Shuang pulled the water with her feet, creating a splash of water. She lowered her head and looked at the reflection on the water: Your personality is not suitable for officialdom. I'm afraid that you will get angry and kill people with a knife.

When Zhou An heard this, his head was filled with black lines.

This girl was too foolish to think of him.

If it wasn't an enemy involved, how could he stab someone with a knife?

He's not a fool.

It's okay if you are not divided in the capital. The intrigues in other places are not very strong. If you are divided in the capital, if you encounter something unclear in the future, you can ask my teacher.

Ye Shuang said again.

Although this girl has no experience in martial arts, she has seen a lot in the Supervision Department.

Have you never eaten pork or seen pigs running?

In fact it is.

The closer you get to the capital, the more entangled the forces become, and the water becomes deeper and deeper.

At that time, the positions will probably be divided, just like Lao Lin.

This may not necessarily be the case in the capital. In other places, the situation may be much smaller.

Of course, as for what Ye Shuang said just now, to find his teacher, Zhou An would not do it.

Even if he is really assigned to the capital and encounters something, Zhou An will try his best to avoid that person.

He's really cool.

Is it just because of this? Okay, I understand. You can go and rest early.

Zhou An also planned to be angry for a while.

Ye Shuang then said Oh, raised his feet, and walked barefoot on the ground, leaving a series of watermarks on his feet.

No, then what were you washing your feet just now? Zhou An said with black lines on his head.

He also talks about washing his feet and walking around naked after washing them. Isn’t this nonsense?

Ye Shuang turned his head and gave Zhou An a strange look: We have magic.

As she spoke, she raised her feet and faced Zhou An with her white soles.

It was clean there, without a trace of dust.

Zhou An suddenly felt that his head must have been cramped.

Just now he was looking at it very seriously.

Sure enough, whenever he met Ye Shuang, his brain would be a little sick, and it was probably Ye Shuang who infected it.

Go to bed quickly! Zhou An said with a sullen face.

Ye Shuang just said oh, turned around and left directly.

Zhou An was about to go swimming for a while when Ye Shuang suddenly stuck his head out and interrupted him again.

Zhou An, I have to leave again tomorrow.

Didn't you mean to play for two or three days? Zhou An asked doubtfully.

Ye Shuang scratched his hair in distress: The teacher and I agreed on a deadline, but if this continues, I won't be able to complete it.

Zhou An didn't ask what exactly he wanted to accomplish. After all, this matter involved the top leader of the Supervision Department.

He felt that this boss of the Supervision Department, who had everything to do with the wind and rain in the Great Chu Kingdom, would never arrange for Ye Shuang to travel randomly. There must be something going on here.

Ask what you should ask, and don't ask blindly what you shouldn't.

I'll send it to you tomorrow. Zhou An said.

Ye Shuang nodded, looking frustrated, and went back to the house directly.

Before leaving, I heard her muttering.

I can't eat anything delicious again...

After Ye Shuang's figure disappeared around the corner, Zhou An looked at the calm water and started swimming again.

…

The evening passed like this.

It takes a certain amount of time to go from level two to level three. Zhou An estimated that he would have to wait a day or two before he could reach level three.

The next morning, Zhou An got up early and happened to meet Ye Shuang standing at the door.

Ye Shuang still looked like the girl in Cinderella, standing at the door with her head lowered and looking at her toes, looking very sad.

She had this expression the last time we parted, and it was still the same this time.

Zhou An smiled, walked over and patted her on the shoulder: Let's go.

Ye Shuang said oh.

Next, Zhou An walked in front, Ye Shuang followed behind, and the two were silent.

The two of them walked a long way.

After a while, Ye Shuang realized something was wrong. This route was not the route out of the city gate.

She raised her head and asked doubtfully: Zhou An, where are you taking me?

Zhou An turned his head and pointed to a street ahead.

Ye Shuang looked over suspiciously and found that the place was quite lively, with vendors everywhere.

But I still don’t understand what Zhou An means.

Zhou An smiled and said: Your small warehouse must be full when you leave, otherwise what will you do if you get hungry on the way? These are all specialties, take them away.

As soon as Ye Shuang heard this, his depressed expression immediately returned to a look of joy.

Fill it! Must fill it!

As she said that, she directly pulled Zhou An's sleeve and moved inside like a reckless man.

Zhou An had no choice but to follow behind.

After a while.

Ye Shuang carried a burden half as tall as a man, and walked to the end of the city gate with Zhou An amid the surprised expressions of the people around him.

Let's go!

She waved.

Zhou An also waved his hand: Remember what I said, there is no good person in this world. You can only believe two or three points of other people's words. Not everyone who invites you to dinner is a good person, and try not to eat other people's words. Something to please.”

When he came, Zhou An imparted some principles to Ye Shuang.

This girl is very attractive to him. She looks silly, but she has a special heart.

For example, this time, to be honest, he was given the green light.

But it's not all because of him, but because Ye Shuang's own outlook on life is fine.

Because Ye Shuang also knows that Extremist Casting cannot be a means of threat.

It's rare to meet such a compatible person, so Zhou An is naturally willing to do so.

After Ye Shuang left with the baggage on his back, Zhou An rushed into the house.

He has temporarily given up on the idea of ​​liver fusion casting. He will first upgrade his swimming to level three to see if there is any transformation.

The whole journey was uneventful. When he got back to the house, he closed the door, jumped directly into the swimming pool, and started to get mad.

…

The whole afternoon, Zhou An was fussing crazily.

It is because he is in the industry that he can avoid the hidden dangers of being soaked in water for a long time.

In the evening, he went out to have dinner again, returned to the house, rested for a while, and continued to jump into the pool.

Such days are boring and regular, and Zhou An likes them very much.

A whole night passed and the next day came.

When Zhou An came out of the swimming pool, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

He found that he was really good at liver. If it had been anyone else, he would have vomited even if he wasn't tired after swimming all night.

Fortunately, this night's efforts were not in vain.

He successfully advanced the swimming skill to level three, and also gained corresponding transformation.

A line of smoke appeared in front of me, gradually changing into brand new words.

【Please select direction】

[Spiritual Water (Agility +1, Speed ​​+1)]

[Waterbending (Water +1, Water Control +1)]

The two directions represent two different schools.

Zhou An thought for a while, then followed his original intention and chose water control.

As for the skill of Spiritual Water, its agility and speed attributes were not superimposed on the original water attributes, so according to the original rules, he gave up.

After Zhou An made his choice, the scenery in front of him changed again.

The smoke dissipates and new smoke solidifies.

[Waterbending (Water +2, Water Control +1) lv.3: 1/40000]

A large amount of information poured into Zhou An's mind like a tide. Zhou An closed his eyes, sensed it carefully, and opened his eyes after a moment.

Two changes emerge.

First of all, the Qi in his body shrank again.

In fact, this is not shrinking, but becoming more solid. The smaller, the more refined.

The second is that his current water-bending skills are much stronger than he imagined.

Zhou An raised his hand, and the water in the air gradually began to condense. After a while, it condensed into a water ball.

His fingers shook slightly, and the water ball kept shaking, changing into various shapes in his hands.

Condensation out of thin air can only condense so much.

At the third level of waterbending, if you were to create a water ball out of thin air, it would only be the size of a fist at most, which would look ordinary.

But if there's water, it's different.

Zhou An turned his attention to the swimming pool and stretched out his hand to lead it.

The next moment, a few people hugged each other and thick water spurted out, condensing into a thick water dragon in the sky.

Zhou An felt relieved and pulled out a long knife from the pink money bag.

The water dragon was attracted by the long knife and began to rotate directly around Zhou An.

Zhou An injected the sword light into the water dragon.

The white sword light filled the water dragon completely.

Why do you feel that this kind of power is stronger than me using the sword light out of thin air? Zhou An thought to himself.

This is not a feeling, it is a fact.

This is equivalent to superposition, superimposed together, of course stronger.

In other words, my combat effectiveness in the water is actually higher than on land.

Soon, Zhou An came to this result.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou An put away the long knife and controlled the water dragon and the light of the knife to gradually dissipate.

He jumped into the swimming pool, and a strange scene appeared.

The surrounding water flow was directly pushed away, forming a space around him.

This is the ability to control water, allowing him to be underwater without getting wet.

At the same time, his water quality is +2, allowing him to move more freely in the water.

If you encounter a strong enemy in the future, you can lure him to the river. Zhou An touched his chin.

After trying it once, the novelty wore off and I returned to the ground.

In front of his eyes, smoke gradually formed, turning into his latest information.

[Pao Ding’s solution to the problem lv.5 (speed +4, accuracy +4): 1/80000]

[Bianwu lv.4 (Strength +2, Destruction +2): 1/60000]

[Wandering Dragon Step lv.4 (Speed ​​+2, Dodge +2): 1/60000]

[Fusion casting method lv.4 (hardness +2, fusion +2): 35800/60000]

[Read Hundred Volumes lv.4 (Spirit +2, Understanding +2): 1/60000]

[Waterbending lv.3 (Water +2, Water Control +1): 1/40000]

That's all he has right now.

Zhou An feels that the next step is to improve the fusion casting method to level five.

After reaching the fifth level of fusion casting method, he can develop new skills while thinking about the next level five skill.

I don't know what I will become in the end.

Zhou An was thinking in his mind that if this continues and he gets stronger and stronger, will he have hundreds of skills by then?

This possibility exists.

I don’t know what patches were added to the game in the later stages. After all, I was the hands-off shopkeeper at the time, so maybe I’ll surprise him later.

It may be more and more skills, or it may be another situation, no one can tell.

It is undeniable that the stronger, the better.

Zhou An planned the future direction, felt very comfortable, and went out to eat.

After eating, he returned home, picked up the hammer again, and began to practice the fusion casting method.

Next, another day passed, and by the next day, my proficiency had improved a lot.

Today, after Zhou An went out to eat, he did not go home again, but came to the examination room.

The annual imperial examination is held for three days, and today is the last day.

Today I am going to write a comprehensive article, which only takes one morning.

In other words, Yu Hang will come out at noon.

As a brother, it is natural to come over and greet him.

At this time, there were already many people waiting outside the examination room. Most of them were relatives and friends of the scholars, or classmates and friends.

In fact, it is normal to have classmates and friends. After some people take the exam once or twice, they no longer take the exam.

Instead, they moved to another place to make a living, but the relationship was maintained.

At this time, Zhou An also heard a lot of discussions, and he listened nearby as a way to pass the time.

There are so many things going on in this world, and sometimes you can hear something just by listening.

For example, among the group of people on Zhou An's left, several people were chatting very excitedly, as if they were worried about their friends inside.

It's friends, and it's good.

But among the group of people on Zhou An's right, there were quite a few people waiting there on the surface. In fact, during the conversation, everyone said that they might not be able to pass the exam.

And when they said they failed to pass the exam, they could see an imperceptible expression flash across these people's faces.

This kind of expression is similar to adding insult to injury, or taking pleasure in one's misfortune.

Life is full of things, and sometimes it can be seen in the details.

At this time, there is still sun in the sky, and it is warm when it shines down.

Even the policeman guarding the door looked a little drowsy.

Maybe two days ago, these detectives were very serious.

But today is the last day, and I’m starting to get lazy.

It's strange, it should have come out. Zhou An felt a little weird.

According to the usual time, the time should have come by this time, and you must come out on time.

Did something happen? Zhou An thought to himself.

He was waiting outside. At this moment, in the examination room, Sun Fuling had arrived.

He must arrive on the last day to summarize all the circumstances.

I thought today would just go by like this, but I never expected that something really happened at the last moment.

A policeman led Sun Fuling and talked about today's situation as he walked.

Sir, we really don't dare to stop him. You also know how rare scholars are. At this time, someone wants to take this opportunity to break through the threshold of scholars. If he really stops him, it will be a big crime. After all, he is still participating in the imperial examination.

The policeman smiled wryly.

What exactly is going on? Please explain it clearly to me. Sun Fuling looked serious.

Breaking through during exams is something I have never experienced before.

The policeman hurriedly explained: It's like this. When a scholar was writing an article, the examiner happened to be in charge of the exam and stopped by, so he took a look.

As a result, after taking one look at it, the examiner said something treasonous.

I said it very quietly at first, but the examinee heard it. The examinee didn't know what was going on, so he just cursed.

He has a very angry temper. Originally, according to this situation, the candidate would be disqualified, but this candidate wrote a few more strokes, and the more he wrote about his aura, the more something was wrong. This is a breakthrough.

When Sun Fuling heard this, he said, Where is the examiner?

In front. The detective pointed to the front.

Sun Fuling hurriedly walked over, walked up to the examiner, and casually asked the reason for the matter.

The examiner also said helplessly: Sir, what he wrote is really rebellious and unethical. I couldn't help but say these two sentences.

Don't you know that at this time, you can't say anything? You are also an old man, why don't you understand? What on earth did he write? Show me. Sun Fuling asked.

He was also very curious. The examiner in front of him was a veteran, but he couldn't help himself. What exactly was written that caused this?

I only saw the beginning, and there was one line on it.

The examiner smiled bitterly and said: The general content is this.

The four major categories in the world are called the four thieves. All the four thieves can be killed!

Tell me, aren't you scolding people in the profession? These four major categories include scholars. Even the current emperor is one of the four major categories. You are scolding His Majesty.

Sun Fuling took a breath of cold air.

This is indeed unheard of, and if it really spreads, it seems to be a curse.

Although it is not a scolding of His Majesty, if someone with intentions wants to take advantage of it, it is likely to have the same result.

Officialdom is the same as the battlefield.

Take me to see that candidate first.

Sun Fuling felt that he couldn't make the decision on this kind of thing, so he had to go and see the situation first. After all, just based on the examiner's statement, it might not be true.

The examiner nodded quickly and led the way.

Sun Fuling followed, and it didn't take long to arrive at the place where the accident occurred.

When he was far away, he couldn't see clearly, but when he got closer, he saw the examinee who was writing with his head down, and the corners of his mouth twitched crazily.

How could it be him?

They really are not a family. If they don't enter the same family, these two people are not normal.

In front of him, Yu Hang ignored everything and was writing crazily with his head down. There was also a faint murderous aura in him.

The scholarly aura and murderous aura are mixed together, not only are they not inconsistent, but they are also very harmonious.

In Yu Hang's hands, the writing brush seemed to have turned into a sword, and he was writing vigorously, just like the moves of swordsmanship.

Let's look at the situation first, Sun Fu ordered.

Everyone nodded.

The murderous aura in Yu Hang's body gradually condensed, becoming more and more intense, and was about to reach its peak at this moment.
