My Way

Chapter 19 Prerequisites for Cultivation

Ling Wuyuan couldn't clearly explain what his exact mood was at the moment.

Thinking about my five years of hard work, five extremely long years!

Constantly struggling to survive in the shadows.

Only now do I have a bed!

His mood was indeed very complicated and difficult.

Now, he chose to lie on the bed and think silently for a while.

'Um……'

'Although the mattress on the bed is not very soft, it is much better than the hard ground, and the quilt is quite good...'

For a while.

His thoughts were a little confused and complicated.

but.

He quickly stood up and looked around the rest of the room.

For example, open the closet or check if there is anything under the bed...

finally.

After confirming that everything is fine.

He came to the mirror.

That was not a bronze mirror, it was literally an ordinary mirror. There was no essential difference between it and the mirror that Ling Wuyuan used in his previous life, except that it was relatively more expensive.

in this world.

Many things from the past, such as gunpowder, mirrors, and clocks, actually existed, but they differed in their manufacturing methods and popularity.

After all, the civilization of this world has been around for who knows how many years...

At this moment.

In Ling Wuyuan's eyes, the figure in the mirror was a good-looking, indifferent little boy with black hair.

Although his face was still very immature due to his immature body, his general appearance as an adult could actually be roughly foreseen through his facial features.

'Hmm~'

"As expected of me~"

"It's just that the clothes are a little bit rustic..."

"I'll need to pick up the gang uniforms later..."

Looking at the expressionless self in the mirror.

Ling Wuyuan was quite satisfied.

As for why he has no expression on his face?

There's no way. Due to his living environment, he has become accustomed to having a blank expression over the years.

but.

His inner thoughts are as rich as ever.

Then, Ling Wuyuan chose to open the door and walk out.

He planned to walk around Baiya Mountain to get familiar with the surrounding environment, such as taking a look at the dining hall...

According to the guide who had told us before, there were a total of four dining halls in the entire White Crow Gang. Each of them was independent and would prepare some big pots of rice at fixed times every day. All members of the White Crow Gang could eat for free with their membership certificates.

This was indeed a huge temptation for Ling Wuyuan, who had to endure hunger every day for years without eating nine meals out of three days...

of course.

If you don't want to eat from the same pot in the public canteen, each member can order dishes individually or eat in other private restaurants.

All of this seems quite realistic, giving Ling Wuyuan the same feeling as in his previous life.
-
The next day, early in the morning.

Ling Wuyuan silently glanced at the other newcomers around him.

There are about seventy people in total.

Adults make up half of them, and children and teenagers make up the other half.

The only difference is that now everyone is wearing the same clothes and standing straight.

It's like being paraded.

The main reason for the incident was the figure standing right in front of them.

It was a tall figure who looked to be about sixty-five years old, but with few grey hairs on his head.

Although he is already old, when he looks at the newcomers present with serious eyes, everyone still feels like they are facing a tiger.

Even if the clothes you wear are loose.

Everyone can still vaguely see each other's muscles.

Facing the old man, even though he did not show any killing intent or hostility, everyone could feel an inexplicable chill.

It was as if their instincts were telling them that they could never be a match for the person in front of them.

"Let me introduce myself first. I'm the manager of the newcomer training ground, Feng Shuyun. You can call me Elder Feng!"

"For the next not-so-short period of time, you will all have to live under my control."

"The reason is simple. As newcomers, you all need to be polished. Otherwise, you will just be a mob of hooligans..."

It was an extremely loud voice, full of energy.

Even though his voice was a little hoarse, which is typical of an old man, it was still extremely clear. It did not give people the feeling that he was old and his eyes were blurry, but only made people feel that he was quite strong and healthy.

As the other party blurted out these words.

Many newcomers also looked eagerly at him.

In the White Crow Gang.

Elder and hall master are positions of the same level.

Going further up are the deputy gang leader, the supreme elder, and the gang leader.

The Grand Elder generally refers to the former gang leader who has abdicated.

therefore.

The elders can basically be regarded as the top of normal power.

No matter how you look at it, he is a real powerful figure.

This is especially true when the other person is your direct superior.

Therefore, when they hear the other party say that they will have to live under the other party's command for a long time in the future, many newcomers immediately think about how they can please the other party.

at the same time.

Feng Shuyun gave a brief introduction of himself.

He immediately pointed in a direction and asked everyone present:

"Now, all of you who can't read or can't read much, stand over here."

Hear this.

Ling Wuyuan's eyes immediately lit up.

The first one stood over.

Through the information I heard from the guide yesterday.

He understood that an illiterate person like himself would be assigned to a gang school to receive the most basic education.

The duration is usually one year.

During that period, all they needed to do was read and learn to read!

Because if you can't read, you won't be able to understand even if you are given a secret book.

Some secret books are even recorded in the form of poetry.

So let alone not knowing how to read, even if you do know how to read, you may not be able to understand what the secret book is talking about...

therefore.

Reading and writing is one of the necessary tasks for practitioners.

Gangs with a long history like the White Crow Gang regard this as the most basic and rigid assessment condition.

If a new member is still illiterate after one year in the gang academy, he will be subject to physical punishment at the very least, and will be kicked out of the White Crow Gang at the worst.

Facing this circumstances.

To be honest, perhaps many newcomers will feel a little lost.

Reading or something.

It really has nothing to do with the swordplay and revenge they imagined.

But Ling Wuyuan was very keen on it.

He knew that no matter what world it was in, knowledge was undoubtedly important!
The systematic basic education provided free of charge in the gang school is a necessity for you to continue moving forward!
Next.

Just as he knew, all illiterate guys were assigned to gang schools equally, regardless of age or gender.

From now on.

They all needed to learn to read and write seriously, and were tested at regular intervals.

If you fail to pass the test, you will be punished!
As for those who have received basic education and can already read, they can start practicing martial arts directly.

As a basic benefit for joining the White Crow Gang.

They can choose a basic martial arts secret book from the gang's treasure trove of books to practice.
