Shennong Sequence

Chapter 17: Four Animal Keepers
"It's dark. I'm afraid I can't practice archery tonight. I'd better go to bed early and recover from the physical fatigue caused by shoveling horse manure and raising horses all day. I'll get up early tomorrow to work and brush up on the 'Basic Horse Taming' skill."

As Zhao Yun thought about it, he picked up the lamp and wick on the ground, then hurried back to his room.

"boom!"

And closed the door tightly again.

Zhao Yun waited for a while to calm down, and then he began to observe the newly appeared origin point on the yellow cloth that only he could see.

However, there is only one lonely origin point.

Zhao Yun tried to add this origin point to the incomplete "Basic Horse Taming" skill, and was ready to see if he could deduce and complete it.

But unfortunately, it seems that this one origin point is too few and it is impossible to carry out deduction at all.

He couldn't help feeling annoyed and could only lie on the bed in a depressed mood, looking at the dim and dark room.

"Now, the increase in the archery progress value requires the use of both eyes and hands. You must actually shoot at the object you are observing in the center to truly give a progress value..."

"Without light, I can't even see clearly what I want in the dark. Under all these restrictions, I can't practice archery."

"Forget it, let's go to sleep!"

As he was thinking, Zhao Yun thought of his home again, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

the next day,
The cock has not yet crowed,
Zhao Yun was sleeping again, and was awakened by the fat and playful look of Captain Niu.

He got up early, and together with Butcher Liu, who was woken up by Old Man Sun's loud voice, he started to prepare breakfast for the horses while still half asleep.

During this period, Zhao Yun was pleasantly surprised to find that the progress value of the 'Basic Horse Taming' skill had begun to increase.

Moreover, the rate of growth is much faster than simply reading the secret book.

Basically, every seven or eight minutes, he can get a progress value.

And every increase in progress value will give rise to some insights in his mind.

The two complement each other, making Zhao Yun more adept at feeding the horses.

By the time the horses had finished their breakfast in no time at all.

Zhao Yun and Butcher Liu then slowly went to the cafeteria in front and enjoyed their own meals.

The food at the War Horse Prison is the same as that at the War Elephant Prison, Iron Oxen Prison, and Fat Pig Prison.

Breakfast is: sweet potato corn soup, fragrant meat stir-fry, and solid steamed buns.

This can give some comfort to those who get up early and feel tired, and they can eat with relish.

However, at this time, many new recruits were awakened from their sleep by the sound of gongs and drums, and they struggled to get up.

Many people couldn't help but exclaimed when they passed by the people from the Four Beast Breeding Institutions:

"Today's food seems to be particularly good! It even has some greasy and fatty meat slices..."

However, as we watched, something went wrong.

The troublemaker among the new recruits started to get angry in the mess hall, complaining indignantly: "What's wrong with your mess hall? Why are we treated differently? The meals for seven or eight people over there all come with slices of meat, but why is it that here we only have watery soup, not even a sweet potato to eat, and can only drink thin rice soup?"

The cook in the kitchen was not tolerant. He poured some soup into the bowl of the man who was shouting happily, and then shouted: "Eat it if you want or not. If you don't want to eat, get out. Next one..."

"Fuck you!"

The troublemaker rolled up his sleeves and was ready to fight.

An old soldier took a look at the people from the fourth animal breeding station. After finishing his meal, he kicked the person who was about to make trouble and said, "Why are you making trouble? It's good enough that you have something to eat. I also eat plain soup. I didn't say anything..."

The other recruits also shouted at the top of their voices: "Boss, aren't we all from the garrison? Why can they eat well and be full, while we who are fighting in the front have to go hungry..."

"Beasts are more valuable than humans!"

Early in the morning, the kitchen was suddenly noisy and chaotic.

Originally, Zhao Yun envied the new recruits who could sleep until the roosters crowed and the sun rose at dawn.

But now, seeing how bad the food these new recruits were eating, he naturally felt a lot more relieved.

"I am grateful to Captain Niu for his revenge and Captain Wang Tong for his help. I am able to raise horses here in the logistics department."

Zhao Yun secretly rejoiced.

Moreover, even if the head of the Logistics Department was disrespectful to the commander of the garrison, he could still stand firm here!
Therefore, Zhao Yun felt that the Si Nong in the Logistics Department should also be a great talent.

Maybe he could follow Lao Sun's path, learn the 'basic horse training', condense the spiritual seal, and then climb up through Lao Sun's path. This future seems very bright!
After Zhao Yun finished his meal with Butcher Liu, he threw the rice bowl into the kitchen without washing it and left through the back door.

However, after taking two steps, Zhao Yun saw the eight people he had tried to win over earlier, who were also gathering together, led by Zhao Liang, and walking towards the kitchen.

Zhao Yun thought about it and felt that he was already in a state of decline, so he did not go up directly to greet the eight people.

Then the two returned to the No. 14 stable and started the dirty and tiring job of shoveling horse manure.

Zhao Yun deliberately shrunk the illusory yellow torn cloth in front of him a little bit, so that it only occupied the upper left corner of his field of vision. At the same time, he increased the progress value of "Basic Horse Taming" to make it easier for him to watch in real time.

After working for a while, he discovered that this job of shoveling horse manure could also continuously increase the progress value of the "Basic Horse Taming" skill.

Basically, there will be a small progress value increase every seven or eight minutes.

"Great! If I do this, I can get to the entry level of basic horse training skills in two or three days."

"But this basic horse training is an incomplete version. I don't know if I can condense the spiritual seal that old man Sun mentioned after practicing to the entry level."

Zhao Yun looked at the progress value that increased by one moment, as if he saw the dawn of his rise in the troubled times.

"Hmm? I don't know if I have the aid of progress value here. Is my training speed fast or slow? When I finish shoveling the horse manure and sell it, I'll ask Butcher Liu and compare it horizontally..."

Zhao Yun was thinking in his mind.

In addition, you need to be extra careful when shoveling horse manure, because the manure is all behind the horse's buttocks. If you get too close, you never know what bad-tempered warhorse might hit you.

The consequences would be disastrous. Your balls might crack and your stomach might get kicked to pieces...
