Dawn of a New Era

Forget it, it's just a spirit

Chen Shouyi stood up, stretched, picked up the wooden sword and briefcase, and went out again.

It's better to go to practice swords, so that Shell girl won't watch cartoons all day again, at least before night, he won't let her out.

Not long after, he came to the haunted house.

During the period, the old lady came again when she heard the movement, stood at the door for a while, reminded her again, and left quickly.

Chen Shouyi didn't bother with her either, and he didn't return to the hotel until the evening of practice.

...

Five days passed in a row.

These few days, Chen Shouyi's life was regular and simple, and sometimes he would go out to eat with Lu Weifeng, or go to the bar to relax.

As for Wei Chenghao, after returning home five days ago, he has no news and has not returned yet.

During this time, his strength, perception, and will all increased by 0.1 again.

The increase in strength and perception is somewhat understandable, but the increase in will is somewhat inexplicable. He guessed that it was brought about by staying in that haunted house to practice swords every day these days, and gradually overcoming the residual fear of the haunted house.

It's a pity that after five days of sword practice, the swordsmanship has only improved a little.

Achieved (Proficiency 19)

...

Early the next morning, while Chen Shouyi was brushing his teeth, he heard a knock at the door.

Chen Shouyi bit his toothbrush, walked out of the bathroom, opened a crack in the door, and took a look outside.

Lu Weifeng came, and seeing his excited face, Chen Shouyi couldn't help but said, It doesn't have to be so early, right? Wait for me for a few minutes!

Before he could speak, he immediately closed the door!

If Lu Weifeng hadn't taken a step back instinctively, he would almost have been bumped on the nose, and suddenly said in a bad mood:

I said you don't have any women inside, why are you covering it so tightly! Hey, you're watching Peppa Pig early in the morning!?

You can control me, I can watch whatever I like. Chen Shouyi gritted his toothbrush and snorted coldly.

If you don't pay attention to him anymore, after getting along with him for a long time, you will find that although Lu Weifeng has a rough and burly face, his personality is a bit funny.

Of course, it is also possible to do it deliberately in front of him.

Chen Shouyi went to the bathroom and continued to brush his teeth. After washing, he ignored Shell girl's desperate struggle, tied it up again, and stuffed it into the briefcase.

Then he opened the door and said, Let's go!

...

The Martial Artist Club is a manor villa located on the edge of Sun Moon Lake in the city center.

It's not small, but it's not big either.

Compared with some rich clubs, this place looks a bit shabby.

Just when I was about to enter the door, I was stopped by four armed guards: I'm sorry, foreigners are not accepted here!

You two, we are here for the martial artist assessment! Lu Weifeng said with a smile.

Excuse me, your two names. One of the guards asked.

Chen Shouyi!

Lu Weifeng!

Come in, both of you!

The guards let them go immediately.

So strict! Chen Shouyi exclaimed, There are guards at the door.

These people may be real soldiers. Warriors have always cooperated closely with the military. If we weren't considered quasi-martialists now, we wouldn't be able to get in at all.

Walking into the villa, there were already three people inside.

At such an early time, it is obvious that no warriors will come, and it seems that they are all participating in the actual combat assessment.

The pervert I just mentioned is here. This is the young one. Seeing Chen Shouyi, one of them whispered to the other two.

The two of them immediately glanced at Chen Shouyi secretly.

Although he spoke in a low voice, Chen Shouyi could still hear clearly with his five senses.

He pretended not to hear, and while looking at the furnishings of the villa, he walked in with Lu Weifeng, and then sat down on the sofa.

Soon two beautiful waiters brought tea.

Lu Weifeng chatted with these three people very familiarly: This one looks a little familiar, he should have met last time, you two are a little strange?

Our physical fitness test is in October, and you are in November. One of the men with a shaved head grinned.

No wonder, it turns out that two phases have been combined into one phase.

It depends on the number of people who have passed the initial test. If there are many people, the actual combat will be assessed soon. If there are few, some will have to wait. We have been waiting for more than half a month. The bald man said, but his eyes frequently glanced at Chen Shouyi.

Chen Shouyi felt uncomfortable being cast a cautious glance by such an old man from time to time. He turned his head to look at the bald man and asked, Why do you keep looking at me!

No...no! The bald head said quickly, a little nervous, but after speaking, the words went smoothly: I've heard about you, so I'm a little curious.

What are you curious about? Chen Shouyi said angrily.

Yes! The bald head said immediately submissively.

Chen Shouyi was speechless. Was it because the bald head was too timid, or his reputation was already so great.

...

As time approached, people began to arrive one after another.

This time there were still three martial arts notaries.

But except for the director of the notary office who is still there, the other two have changed.

One of the notaries opened one of the rooms inside, which contained a cold weapon arsenal, and said, Everyone chooses their weapons, and then set off. This time our destination is Passage No. 10233 in the suburbs of Hedong City.

...

On the bus, Chen Shouyi held an alloy sword and closed his eyes to rest.

At this time, the director of the notary office sitting in the front seat suddenly turned around and asked:

Your name is Chen Shouyi. After the assessment, what do you think? Is there any place to go?

Everyone turned their heads immediately, envious.

This is simply a blatant solicitation, which is equivalent to an internal decision.

Chen Shouyi was quick-witted, and quickly understood: I guess I should go back to my hometown, Dongning City!

Dongning City, it's not that I said bad things. The conditions that Dongning City can offer will definitely not be as good as that of Hedong City. The warrior allowance and settlement allowance in Hedong City are the highest in the province, and Dongning City's current situation is not good. Well, it's all under martial law now.

No matter how good the conditions are, I can't afford a house! Chen Shouyi hit the nail on the head.

The director of the notary office couldn't help but feel suffocated.

This is indeed a problem. Since the power outage, people from the surrounding areas have flooded into Hedong City. Housing prices have skyrocketed, and they are still growing. There is no end in sight. The previous 3 million warrior settlement fees can still buy a 100-square-meter house. Now I can only buy a house of fifty or sixty square meters.

He thought for a while, and said in a cryptic tone: Indeed, but we have always attached great importance to talents. Some things can be done specially. For example, our Supervision Office will provide an additional resettlement fee.

May I ask, aren't you from the Martial Arts Notary Office of Jiangnan Province? Why did you become a supervisory office? Chen Shouyi asked suspiciously.

The director of the notary office smiled: The full name of our department is the Martial Arts Notary and Disciplinary Supervision Office of Jiangnan Province. Martial arts notarization is only one of the tasks, and the latter is mainly responsible for handling and arresting some martial arts crimes.

The other two notaries looked at each other.

Is this still their dignified and unsmiling boss?

In order to win over this young man, he even gave up his face.

The director naturally didn't expect that his two subordinates were secretly slandering him.

On the one hand, he has developed a love for talent, and on the other hand, he is also preparing to form a good relationship.

Considering that the other party already has the physical fitness close to that of a senior warrior at the age of seventeen, as long as this kind of person does not accidentally die halfway, it is almost certain that he will become a great warrior, and there are only a few great warriors in Jiangnan Province, including him, a total of That's fifteen.

Although he is also a great martial artist, don't look at him, he is only in his thirties, but in fact he is already in his fifties. His physical fitness has shown signs of decline over the years, and he needs to start thinking about the future.
