Text-based martial arts: A nighttime rendezvous with the gang leader's wife in a dilapidated te

I woke up from a nap.

The dim setting sun bathed the dormitory balcony in golden light.

Chen Xuan didn't sleep very soundly.

Therefore, after waking up, he immediately picked up the tablet next to his pillow and opened the martial arts app.

Welcome back to the world of martial arts!

Location: Backyard of Shen's Pharmacy, Jinling City

[Time: 7:00 AM, the 20th day of the 8th month of the 4th year of Tianwu]

On your bed, you opened your slightly bluish eyes; clearly, you hadn't slept very well that night.

[As you savor the fruits of last night's labor, you have gained 8% experience in the cultivation of the "Inner and Outer Classics." Your current level of study in the "Inner and Outer Classics" is: Level 1, 75% (Beginner Level)]

Current medical skill level: Level 5, 50% (Advanced)

After seeing that he was alright, Chen Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It must be said that compared to the Wonderland of the Monkey King, this Shen's Pharmacy could not give Chen Xuan any peace of mind.

For these martial arts masters, killing someone by simply breaking into a courtyard is an incredibly easy task.

Even if Chen Xuan believed that his disguise was perfect and that Cao Qing's presence was a deterrent, the Viper Gang might not dare to actually kill him, but one can never be too afraid of the unexpected.

When will it ever matter if your own abilities are the most important thing?

However, the gains of this night were somewhat beyond Chen Xuan's expectations.

With the attribute enhancement, comprehension is greatly improved, and the learning speed is also much faster.

The Inner and Outer Canons only have three levels, so if you only study to the first level, you have already reached the so-called "first glimpse of the path".

After completing the third level, one's medical skills will reach the seventh level.

According to Lao Cao, this level is already considered top-notch! It's comparable to those famous local doctors.

However, like martial arts, this skill becomes increasingly difficult to improve as you progress. More importantly, there are not many medical books available to help you improve your skills!

This is also what Chen Xuan needs to improve next. Last night, he promised Yan Jinghong that he would treat her menstrual cramps. Solving this problem requires a medical skill level of 6, while he is currently only at level 5.

However, Chen Xuan was not in a hurry. He had quite a few potential points, so there was no major problem.

With this in mind, he controlled his character to eat in the game, and he did the same in real life.

According to Chen Xuan's plan, he did not intend to make any rash moves that day. Although he was confident that he could clear himself of suspicion after what happened last night, it would be too conspicuous to appear and disappear again.

At the very least, one must not run around recklessly before gaining Yan Jinghong's trust.

With that in mind, he continued to control his character in the game and began to study the "Inner and Outer Canons" while AFK. Anyway, he wouldn't lose out; on the one hand, he could improve his medical skills, and on the other hand, he could complete the Heavenly Encounter of "Studying the Canon Until Old Age".

Medical skills can also enhance the power of the "Spring Breeze and Rain Needle".

In reality, Chen Xuan opened his laptop and logged into the martial arts forum.

As soon as I logged in, I saw the flashing red dot in the upper right corner.

Chen Xuan quickly clicked on it, and the first message he saw was from someone named "Xiao Hanying" selling "Purple Orchid Snake Gallbladder".

And as expected, a day later, this person finally replied to the message:

"How much do you want?"

Looking at Xiao Hanying's message, Chen Xuan thought for a moment and typed in a price he considered not too high:

"Fifty taels of silver!? If you're not comfortable with that, we can do a cash transaction!"

Just when Chen Xuan thought that they would have to wait another day to communicate again, he was surprised to receive a message from the other side very quickly this time.

To his even greater surprise, the other party readily agreed.

"Deal! I want money, not cash!"

Chen Xuan blinked. "Damn, that's too high?"

Judging from their attitude, it seems like thirty taels is negotiable.

However, Chen Xuan did not haggle again. He quoted the price, and it would be a bit too mercenary to try to lower the price later after the other party agreed.

How do we trade? Where are you located right now?

"I'm in Luzhou, but don't worry, I can use a courier service. I'll seal it with liquor, so it absolutely won't spoil! I guarantee it!"

Suddenly, the speed at which messages were being transmitted on the other end increased dramatically, as if they too were worried that the deal might fall through:

"In Luzhou, there have always been caravans heading towards Danyang County. When the time comes, you can directly find the caravan and inspect the snake gallbladders in person. If they are intact, you can hand over the silver to the caravan; if they are damaged, you don't need to pay..."

"However, the money for escorting the goods..."

Seeing the implication in the other person's words, Chen Xuan said directly:

"Let's split the deposit in half, okay? After all, I can't guarantee your belongings will arrive in good condition, can I?"

"Sure, sure, don't worry. There are 'Dragon Gate Escort Agency' teams belonging to the Salt Gang operating in Luzhou these days; no petty thieves would dare to rob us! Brother, which city are you from? I'd like to calculate the approximate escort fee..."

It's clear that this person named 'Xiao Hanying' has a pretentious and childish name, but he's actually a pretty genuine person.

Chen Xuan didn't hide anything. Besides, Jinling was so big, with hundreds of thousands of people, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Nanjing.

"Alright, alright. Jinling isn't too far away. Based on the value of the goods and the distance, the escort fee will be about ten taels of silver..."

Transportation in ancient times was really expensive.

Chen Xuan was somewhat taken aback, but as he said before, if it could enhance his strength and increase his attributes, this amount of silver was nothing at all!

"No problem! Just let me know the approximate arrival time in Jinling, and you can have your team come over."

Having sent the message, and seeing the other party's stingy attitude, Chen Xuan thought for a moment and worried it wasn't safe: "How about this, since this is our first time working together, you just place an order, and I'll pay you the deposit."

As soon as these words were spoken, the message on the other end stopped, as if they hadn't expected the person in front of them to be so straightforward.

"No need, brother. You trust me so much, I trust you completely too. If it breaks down when we get to Jinling, just take a picture and screenshot. I'll take full responsibility for the loss!"

Before Chen Xuan could think further, the guy quickly sent another message:

"Brother, I'm being a bit blunt with you, but that 'Yang Buguo' comment in the comments section of your post isn't a good person. You'd better be careful and avoid meeting him in the martial arts world!"

Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile when he saw the message from the other party.

To be honest, this guy I met on my first time communicating and trading with other players in this martial arts world seems to be a pretty nice person?

"know."

After he sent a message, the two tacitly stopped talking to each other. Chen Xuan glanced at his post and saw that it had sunk into the sea of ​​replies.

Aside from Xiao Hanying's and Yang Guobu's replies, there were no other treasures that could permanently boost attributes.

Chen Xuan didn't care. He copied his previous acquisition post, reposted it, and then turned his attention back to martial arts.

And just at that moment, in addition to the AFK (away from keyboard) message, a brand new message appeared on the martial arts platform:

Time passed slowly.

As you were diligently studying the "Inner and Outer Canons" behind the counter, a voice interrupted your study:

"Young Master Chen is truly diligent! Your teacher praised your talent, though I was unaware of it, but with such hard work, you're bound to amount to something!"

The one who spoke was none other than Yan Jinghong, who had changed into casual clothes, and walked in from outside the door.
