Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

Chapter 7 Unlocking new skills

If we talk about the most common self-defense techniques, it would naturally be various types of boxing and kicking techniques.

But no matter how good your fists and feet are, your flesh and blood body cannot compare to weapons. Of course, this is without discussing secret martial arts.

In general.

A man with bare hands cannot beat a man with a knife.

Those who hold knives cannot defeat those who hold spears.

Those who hold spears cannot defeat those who hold bows and crossbows.

Those with bows and crossbows cannot beat those with guns.

Guns are banned and are not common in slums.

However, short weapons such as knives and daggers are very common, and almost every thug who roams around at night has one in his hand.

Every year, people are stabbed at night and die from excessive bleeding.

So at this time, the priority of boxing and kicking is not that high, and the priority of weapons is the highest.

In addition, there is another requirement, which is that it can be easily obtained right now.

Otherwise, apart from firearms, the best option is the crossbow, which is easy to operate and has decent power.

But think about it, firstly, it would be difficult to get it without channels, and secondly, even if there were channels, he probably wouldn't be able to come up with so much money for the time being.

Therefore, Jiang Cheng's gaze fell on the kitchen knife.

As the saying goes, no matter how good your kung fu is, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife.

If you learn to use a knife well, you can easily chop up hooligans and gangsters like that.

But there are also disadvantages. The kitchen knife is a bit short, not as long as a dagger. This means that while you attack the enemy, there is also a chance that you will be attacked by the enemy.

Jiang Cheng shook his head and his eyes turned.

I'd like to see if there is a longer knife.

The next moment, his eyes lit up.

A rolling pin about forty to fifty centimeters long caught his attention.

Then, two words popped up in my mind.

Short stick!

"This is it!"

Jiang Cheng decided almost instantly what self-defense skills to learn.

As the saying goes, an inch longer is an inch stronger.

But in the alleys, weapons that are too long cannot be used and are difficult to carry.

After all, he was going out to do business, not to fight. If customers saw him carrying a spear or a sword, would they dare to come up and buy things?

But the short stick is different.

Compared to a dagger, it is long enough.

The power was quite impressive. He had watched some similar videos before traveling through time. A master of short sticks could break a cow's leg bone with one blow.

It is also easy to carry. If it really doesn't work, just put it on your back and cover it with clothes. If outsiders are not careful, they won't be able to see it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng's heart warmed up, he walked forward and picked up the rolling pin.

Solid, weighs nearly one pound.

"good."

Jiang Cheng was very satisfied.

The next step is to verify the idea in your mind.

Every time he roasts a sweet potato, he unlocks skills and gains experience points.

So there's no reason why you can't unlock skills when wielding a short stick, such as basic stick techniques.

Holding the rolling pin tightly in one hand, Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, raised his hand, and then chopped it down hard!
"call!"

A sound broke through the air.

The sudden noise startled the old man.

She raised her head and looked at Jiang Chen at this moment. There was confusion in her eyes at first, and then it turned into fear and deep worry.

"Xiao, Xiaocheng, what are you doing?"

The old man's voice trembled.

She vaguely guessed that Jiang Cheng used the rolling pin as a weapon.

What to use it as a weapon?
Of course he was brave and aggressive, and fought with the hooligans outside.

But everyone knows that those gangsters are ruthless and dare to kill people if they are provoked.

The key point is that Jiang Cheng is alone, and the other side has at least two people. If a fight really breaks out, how could Jiang Cheng be safe?

Jiang Cheng's eyes flashed with joy. He raised his head and said with a smile, "Grandma, I'm exercising." "Exercise?"

The old man had disbelief written all over his face.

"Yes."

Jiang Cheng's face remained calm as he explained, "The main reason I had a fever this time was because I was too weak. A small cold can cause a fever for two days, so I wanted to exercise so that I won't get sick easily in the future."

"Really, really?"

After hearing this, the old man probably felt that what Jiang Cheng said made sense and felt a little relieved, but he was still half-believing and half-doubting.

"But you just now?"

"Grandma, I have to sell sweet potatoes during the day, so I only have time at night. But it's dangerous outside at night, so I can't go out. So I can only exercise at home, do push-ups, and swing a rolling pin."

Jiang Cheng shrugged.

"Don't worry, I'm not that impulsive. Those hooligans are so numerous and powerful. How can I be their opponent alone? If I meet them, I will just spend money to avoid disaster."

"Yes."

The old man sighed, "If they want to take the money, just give it to them. If they get hurt accidentally, it will be terrible."

"Yeah, I know, grandma, don't worry."

Jiang Cheng smiled.

The old man hid his worry in his eyes, lowered his head and continued to mend his clothes.

Jiang Cheng withdrew his gaze and looked in front of him.

Several lines of information appeared on the panel.

Add 1 to the short stick experience.

The short stick weapon is unlocked.

【Short stick: Not yet qualified (1/100)】

"Sure enough, I unlocked a skill, but it's not a basic stick technique, but a corresponding weapon."

Jiang Cheng said in his heart.

Similarly, if the weapon used is a sword, you can unlock the corresponding weapon specialization. If it is a firearm, it is the firearm specialization.

And if you get a secret weapon...

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath.

The Horn Tribe issued a weapons ban, and it is extremely dangerous to obtain a secret weapon. Once people find out, not only will you be in trouble, but your grandmother and even Mrs. Chen next door will be implicated.

We must take a long-term view and not be impatient.

"Let's start with practicing with the short stick."

Jiang Cheng looked at the rolling pin in his hand.

Once you have mastered the skill of using a short stick, you won't have to worry about those thugs in the alley causing trouble for you.

You can save hundreds of dollars every month.

However, he still had to pay the stall fees and the residential management fees. After all, the Wild Wolf Gang had over a hundred people and no shortage of experts in cold weaponry. Moreover, he didn't quite believe that such a large gang didn't have one or two guns.

For the time being, I still can’t afford to offend him.

Calming his mind, Jiang Cheng swung the rolling pin in his hand again.

a bit.

a bit.

Another click.

Every move was made with all my strength.

And on the panel, the experience value of the short stick is also increasing little by little.

After swinging for more than twenty times, Jiang Cheng felt a little exhausted, and his right arm and back were sore all day long.

He put down the rolling pin and did push-ups on the ground.

What I told the old man before was not a lie.

It is not enough to just practice with equipment, physical training must also keep up.

And just after he completed a push-up, a few more lines of information appeared on the panel, and the push-up skill was also unlocked.

The old man watched from the side with a frown on his face.

It is a good thing to exercise in Jiangcheng.

But she was really afraid that one day Jiang Cheng would get into a fight with someone outside and be seriously injured, or even die outside like his father.

But she was just an old woman and could do nothing but watch.
