Chapter 5 Wait, you've actually mastered the basics!
Young Master Lu has slain the alien snake demon?
Fang Shuwen vaguely remembered the name.
In the original owner's memory, this Young Master Lu was the youngest son of Lu, the warlord of Xikou, and a well-known figure in Xikou County.
Unlike ordinary wealthy young masters, this young master Lu dislikes smoking and drinking and is obsessed with martial arts.
When Fang Shuwen was learning martial arts at the martial arts school, this young master Lu was the senior disciple of the school.
He had already cracked his bones three times long ago, stepping into the Ming Jin level.
Later, it was heard that his father, Governor Lu, spent a large sum of money to invite a master of internal strength from Shanghai to take him as his disciple.
He has rarely appeared in Xikou County in the past two years.
Unexpectedly, upon his return, he accomplished something significant.
Slay the alien snake demon!
Fang Shuwen squeezed into the crowd, his eyes landing on the notice.
The notice was issued by the county public security bureau; it was red with black lettering and the wording was concise.
"On the night of April 21, a serpentine creature appeared in Daliushu Village, west of the city. It was over ten feet long, ate people and livestock, and injured three villagers."
"Fortunately, Lu Mingyuan, the eldest son of the Lu family, wielded his sword to rid the evil, slaying a snake under the old willow tree at the village entrance. This notice is hereby issued to commend him, and it is hoped that the people of the county will take him as an example, practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, and jointly ward off evil spirits. Public Security Bureau of Xikou County, Jiangnan Province, Great Yan New Kingdom."
The notice was stamped with a bright red official seal at the end.
Fang Shuwen's gaze was not on those words of praise and flattery.
His eyes were fixed on the word "alien species," and his mind was racing.
Yesterday, the panel identified the piece of miscellaneous jade as "alien energy," which activated the cheat code.
Now another "alien snake demon" has appeared.
Are these two "different species" the same concept?
If so...
Does that mean that by killing alien species, one can obtain alien energy?
Fang Shuwen's heart skipped a beat.
It felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over my head.
A different kind of snake demon!
He's only just started learning martial arts, how could he possibly win!
The martial arts instructor once mentioned evil spirits, saying that even the weakest one would require a martial artist who had cracked their bones three times, entered the Ming Jin stage, and whose blood and qi were surging, to deal with them.
For ordinary people to kill demons, they would need to be able to use firearms and have sufficient firepower.
"So, it seems like we have a direction now, but in reality, it's completely useless!"
Fang Shuwen was speechless.
Even if there were a strange, evil creature in front of him now, he couldn't defeat it.
but,
On second thought, Fang Shuwen suddenly had an idea.
He couldn't defeat the alien species, but what happened to the corpses of the alien species that were killed?
If we could get involved in this process, wouldn't we have a chance?
"I need to find someone to ask around."
Fang Shuwen's mind raced.
Among the original owner's acquaintances, the only one who could find out such information should be Guo Ziming, the young master of the Guo family.
This young master Guo's family is the vice president of the county chamber of commerce, and he has connections with all sorts of people.
He himself is a person who loves to join in the fun, and he is always among the first to know about any new things happening in Xikou County.
only……
Fang Shuwen felt disgusted just thinking about all the unpleasant things the original owner had done as Guo Ziming's lackey.
But right now, we can't worry about that. Skill points are more important than saving face.
Having made up his mind, Fang Shuwen turned and walked towards Wenxuan Pavilion.
.......
Wenxuan Pavilion is located in the most bustling area of Xikou, near the former concession of Prolock. It is a three-story building that combines Chinese and Western architectural styles.
The building features blue brick walls with Western-style arched windows, two Roman columns at the entrance, and the three gilded characters "Wenxuan Pavilion" on the signboard gleaming in the sunlight.
Two black Ford cars were parked on either side of the gate, their gleaming bodies reflecting the street scene and attracting the attention of passersby.
This place is nominally a teahouse and bookstore, but in reality it is a club for wealthy people in Xikou County to relax.
On the first floor, people drink tea and discuss business; on the second floor, they play mahjong and dominoes.
The third floor is said to be where some frivolous and romantic affairs take place.
Fang Shuwen walked to the door, but before he could even go up the steps, he was stopped by a waiter wearing a black double-breasted wool coat.
"They're not hiring here, go find work elsewhere."
Fang Shuwen was too lazy to argue with him and said, "I'm looking for someone, Guo Ziming, I'm his classmate."
The waiter glanced at him suspiciously again, but said nothing more. He then beckoned to the side and called over a waiter dressed similarly.
After whispering a few words, the other person hurriedly ran inside.
After waiting for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, no one came out.
The waiter at the door initially stood patiently with them.
But after waiting for a long time and no one came out, he couldn't bear the embarrassment.
He glanced sideways at Fang Shuwen's faded gray cloth gown and snorted.
"You're kidding me? Get out of here, don't get in my way!"
Fang Shuwen explained, "I am indeed Guo Ziming's classmate. Please wait a little longer."
"Wait, wait, wait! What about your mom?"
The waiter completely lost his patience and reached out to push his shoulder.
"Get out of here! Don't block the entrance and get in the way of our distinguished guests!"
However, this hand had not yet touched Fang Shuwen.
Suddenly, a black lacquered cane appeared from the side and struck the waiter's wrist squarely.
"Ouch!"
The waiter winced in pain and pulled his hand back, about to retaliate, but when he looked up and saw who it was, his expression immediately changed.
Suddenly, an old man in blue appeared at the door.
The old man leaned on his cane with one hand and had the other behind his back, staring coldly at him.
He looked exactly like an old patriarch who had walked out of some grand mansion.
The old man was very tall, and he looked down at the waiter at the door: "This is my guest. What, are you going to stop him?"
"Master Zheng, what are you saying? How could I dare to stop your guest! Please come in, please come in!"
The waiter immediately bowed and scraped, carefully apologizing.
Fang Shuwen recognized the person who came and was slightly taken aback.
It was the same old man in blue robes who had lost to him in chess yesterday.
Judging from the waiter's attitude, this old man was indeed of extraordinary status.
Duke Zheng!
Could it be the Zheng family of Xikou?
Before Fang Shuwen could figure it out, the old man in blue grabbed his hand and said as he led him inside:
"Young man, I was just looking for you, and you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep."
"Come, come in with me. I went back yesterday and learned a few more moves. I'm sure I can beat you today!"
Fang Shuwen was somewhat amused and exasperated: "Grandpa, I'm here today to see someone, not to play chess."
"Looking for someone? What's the point of looking for someone? Nothing is more important than playing chess!" the old man said.
Fang Shuwen was pulled inside by the old man, feeling both amused and helpless.
This old man's addiction to chess is even stronger than that of an internet addict in his previous life.
But in an instant, he regained his senses.
He inquired about how to deal with the alien species, all for the alien energy and skill points.
But that piece of miscellaneous jade from yesterday was the one that the old man in blue robes in front of us lost to him.
So, I asked Guo Ziming for information.
Where can you find the elderly man in blue to ask for more detailed information?
Instead of taking advantage of the very clue right in front of him, he went to beg Guo Ziming, that spoiled brat. Isn't that like holding a golden rice bowl and begging for food?
Fang Shuwen cursed himself for being stupid, stopped resisting, and followed Zheng Yuanpei up to the third floor.
But at this moment, Zheng Yuanpei suddenly turned around and looked at Fang Shuwen.
"Wait a minute, you've actually mastered the basics of kung fu!"
