Chapter 3: It's me, old man
Looking at the warriors eating monster meat and drinking broth with relish, Zhang Mu felt a little satisfied.

Although he has a young mindset, everyone treats him like an old man.

Zhang Mu also sat with the soldiers and ate monster meat. The monster meat made people salivate and tasted delicious, much better than the ordinary meat in his previous life.

Du Cheng sat opposite him, took a big bite of meat, and after swallowing it, he suddenly said, "Old Zhang, I see that you look much better this time than before."

Because Zhang Mu's energy and blood improved, his overall complexion became noticeably better.

A strong man like Du Cheng could see it at a glance.

I just didn’t expect that Zhang Mu’s strength would change, because at first glance, Zhang Mu was still in the late first stage.

After a pause, Zhang Mu asked, "Is the change obvious?"

He also felt that after his qi and blood increased, he felt full of strength.

"It was quite obvious, like a second life."

"Hey, Lao Zhang, are you and Bao Xiaxia dating?"

As he spoke, Du Cheng showed a strange smile, because he knew that Zhang Mu's wife had passed away, and Bao Xiaxia's husband had also died in the mouth of a monster in his early years.

And there's something ambiguous between the two of them, so I said that.

???

Zhang Mu was stunned for a moment, but as far as he could remember, his previous life did have some ambiguity with Bao Xiaxia.

Although Bao Xiaxia is a hundred years old, for someone who has a lifespan of two hundred years, a hundred years old is still very young. Besides, Bao Xiaxia looks only in her thirties and still has charm.

It was lonely in the battlefield of all races where he had no relatives, so it was normal for something to happen between him and Bao Xiaxia, a mature and plump woman.

"Old Du, don't talk nonsense. That's not true."

Zhang Mu quickly covered Du Cheng's mouth. This kind of thing cannot be said casually.

Although Bao Xiaxia's husband died early and she was a widow, she also had children.

Having just traveled through time, Zhang Mu didn’t want to provoke Bao Xiaxia, so he had to change his previous habits.

"Hahaha"

Du Cheng laughed and said, we are all old people and we all understand.

Zhang Mu sighed helplessly. He knew that explanation was unnecessary, so he didn't say anything more. Instead, he changed the subject and said to Du Cheng, "Old Du, how many days do you want to rest?"

Du Cheng drank the soup in the big bowl and said, "Ten days. Our team lost a lot of people this time and needs to be strengthened."

"It just so happens that a group of new soldiers will be arriving soon."

The brigade that Du Cheng was in charge of normally had a thousand people. However, they lost about a hundred people in the battle with the alien race, so the brigade was incomplete and needed to be made up to a thousand people.

Catch up with the new recruits.

Zhang Mu suddenly realized that the ten-day correction meant that Du Cheng's team would have to stay at the base for ten days. Zhang Mu planned to make good use of these ten days.

Increase your energy and blood value.

"Since it will take ten days to correct the problem, I will cook more meat and vegetables for the soldiers to replenish their bodies during these ten days."

"So, Lao Du, I'm going to trouble you to bring back more monsters for our base. It's best to catch them alive. I'll kill them myself when I get back."

With powerful warriors like Du Cheng, catching monsters outside the base is effortless.

For ten days, the soldiers were provided with delicious food every day, which not only supplemented their nutrition, but also allowed Zhang Mu to gain a large amount of Qi and blood.

"Old Zhang, you are very thoughtful. Just leave this matter to me. I will make sure you catch enough monsters."

Du Cheng agreed almost without hesitation.

Zhang Mu was also thinking about the soldiers. With the strength of their team, they could catch a lot of monsters in the wild in a matter of minutes.

Seeing this, Zhang Mu was secretly delighted that he could gain a large amount of Qi and blood without having to go out to take risks.

But there was no other way. He was not strong enough and had no other choice but to borrow Du Cheng's abilities.

On that day, Du Cheng led the soldiers out of the base, and when he came back, he had captured hundreds of edible monsters of all kinds and kept them in the base's breeding farm for future use. There were even second- and third-level monsters.

Looking at hundreds of monsters, Zhang Mu became inexplicably excited.

However, these monsters can only be slaughtered tomorrow, otherwise the meat will not be fresh.

After finishing his work in the restaurant, Zhang Mu returned to his room.

Taking advantage of the rest time, Zhang Mu began to practice. After all, although he could kill monsters to increase his blood and energy and enhance his physical strength.

However, his own level of cultivation cannot be improved through Qi and blood value, and he has to rely on his own efforts.

Sitting cross-legged and emptying his mind, Zhang Mu sensed countless white spots of light all around him. Those white spots of light were the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

He immediately activated the Qi-inducing technique in his body, guiding the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, and finally gathering it in his Dantian to form the warrior's spiritual power.

"What a magical world."

Warriors only need to mobilize their spiritual power to release various spells. What kind of spells can be released depends on the skills each person has practiced, forming different spell abilities.

For example, people who practice fire-attributed techniques can release flames.

People who practice lightning-attributed skills can release lightning, etc.

In addition to the most basic Qigong, Zhang Mu also practiced a low-level fire-inducing technique. The low-level fire-inducing technique can transform the spiritual power in his body into flames.

As a chef, the art of igniting fire is also very suitable for him. By releasing the flame through the art of igniting fire, he can control the size, temperature, etc. of the flame at will.

Because of his ordinary family background, Zhang Mu did not have any more advanced magical skills.

It was a low-level fire-starting technique that he had purchased at a high price in order to make a living.

If you want to obtain advanced skills, you must spend money to buy them. This is also a very realistic problem.

The prices of advanced skills in the market are also very high and not affordable for ordinary people.

Although Zhang Mu's current monthly salary is 150,000, which is nearly 2 million a year.

But in order to support his descendants and cultivate more qualified offspring for the family, he wanted to change the fate of the Zhang family.

Almost all the money he earned was sent back to his family, and he only had about 100,000 yuan in pocket money.

"It seems that I must improve my strength as soon as possible, otherwise just improving my Qi and blood will not change the current situation."

Zhang Mu also understood that no matter how high his Qi and blood values ​​were, or how high his physical realm was, what the Blue Star government recognized was the realm of cultivation, not the realm of the physical body.

Therefore, Zhang Mu needs to improve his cultivation level as soon as possible and at least reach the level of a third-level warrior before he can escape from the bottom circle.

Because once you reach the third level of cultivation, you can join the army or work for a big company. Anyway, the third level is the watershed of this world.

Those below the third level are cattle and horses, and those above the third level are the superior people.

Under Zhang Mu's perception, the conversion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into spiritual power was very slow, which was also due to his low aptitude in martial arts.

"If you want to change your martial arts aptitude, you need to take a lot of soul base fluid, but a bottle of 10 ml of soul base fluid costs one million."

Zhang Mu was instantly overwhelmed. He had been working for a year and still couldn't afford two bottles of soul base liquid. Soul base liquid was the cheapest potion that could change one's martial arts aptitude.

There are other things that are more effective than soul base fluid, but they are also relatively more expensive.

“It’s a cruel reality.”

Zhang Mu smiled bitterly to himself. Without money, he couldn't buy the treasures that could change his qualifications. Without changing his qualifications, his cultivation level couldn't be improved. With low cultivation level, he couldn't find a good job and couldn't make money.

This forms a vicious circle, and this is why it is difficult for ordinary people to climb up in their lifetime.

"bang bang bang"

Suddenly someone knocked on the door. Zhang Mu stopped practicing and asked, "Who is it?"

"Old man, it's me"

Bao Xiaxia's voice came from outside the door.

Forehead.
