mad dog plus three

"Damn! This new boy is too arrogant, let's beat him together!"

I don't know who yelled in the crowd.

The trainers made a commotion, but no one went to do it, it seemed that everyone was waiting for others to do it first.

The majestic young man also had two or three good friends, but some of them were not there at this time, some of them just went to help the young man, and some kept asking how the young man was hurt, but no one took the initiative to teach him a lesson and cheer him up. three.

No training master came out to teach him. On the contrary, several training masters were joking or watching a play, and they didn't seem to care about this level of fighting at all.

Even Master Mo changed a pair of chopsticks, his expression very indifferent.

Jiasan was ready to be attacked by the crowd, but he waited for a while, only to hear the crowd buzzing, but no one shot at him, so he sneered, turned and walked out of the cafeteria.

Jiasan's stomach was growling with hunger, and the sky outside was still gray, so he just walked out of the training center.

Looking back at the big stone house and the few pedestrians on the road, Jiasan felt a sense of loneliness being rejected by others.

Renault's very characteristic voice came from his ears: "Finished? No one else did it?"

Jiasan's sense of loneliness dissipated immediately, "Yeah."

Renault: "Bad and bad have good benefits. Everyone is very selfish. Unless the people above force it, it is difficult to have group fights. But you have to be careful about revenge later. People here will not stand up for things that are not good. Similarly, once If there are interests worthy of their interest, they will become particularly active. Don't sleep too much at night."

Jiasan whispered like a child: "I don't like it here."

Renault let out a low laugh: "Do you think the outside world is beautiful? If you are still outside and go to the Valley of Knowledge you mentioned, if you don't change your temper, you will encounter similar things."

"...schools shouldn't be like this."

"There is no should or shouldn't here, either adapt to it, or you are capable enough to change it according to your will. I think the Xia clan is kind enough to you newcomers, and more than [-]% of the races in the sinful land are doing it to the descendants of the clan. Survival of the strongest education, your luck is good enough."

Jiasan felt bad, "What is survival of the strongest?"

"It is to drive a group of newcomers together and let them fight. Generally, the ratio is five to ten to one. Only those who survive can be cultivated by the clan. The same is true for many magic schools. The magic schools in Seven Color Sand City are popular, which is their admission. Trial casualties are the lowest. But also because of this, the real geniuses of all races are never in magic schools."

This is different when compared. After listening to Lei Nuo's words, Jiasan also feels that the land of the Xia clan is already very good for the children of the clan.

Jiasan grinned, no matter what, listening to Renault, he felt much more relaxed, "Is there any way to quickly raise my mental power to level three?"

"Don't dream, mental strength has always been the most difficult to improve, I teach you the mental strength training method, you remember to practice every day."

"Oh. Renault, I'm hungry." Jiasan murmured unconsciously.

Very far away, Lei Nuo: ... Is this kid acting like a spoiled child to me?

In the not-too-distant tunnel of the Earth Meat Mercenary Group, a stone rolled for a while, stopped, rested for a long time, and then rolled for a while.

The bud that turned into a pebble again was crying: the owner didn’t come to look for it, so it had to go to the owner, pity the energy it just accumulated, it’s going to be used up again, I just don’t know if it can Find the owner before the energy runs out.Fortunately, it left seeds for the owner, and the owner has not disappeared to a place where he can't feel the seeds.

The sky and the earth are big, and the food is the biggest.It is impossible to expect the hungry Jiasanhui to honestly complete the task assigned by Master Mo.

Master Mo didn't like him, and he didn't intend to change.He decided to listen to Chu Xiaohoe's opinion, and if he had the ability, he would exchange the magic crystal for a master.

The most urgent task now is to find a job. Jiasan walked around the village, looking for shops with signs selling water.

At this time, the constant sky brings one advantage, that is, the night is as bright as the day.

Jiasan saw a store that looked like a grocery store. There was a stone sign hanging under the eaves of the store, and a big word "water" was engraved on the sign. This should be a sign selling water, right?

"Is anyone there?" Jiasan walked into the grocery store and called.

Someone looked up at the grocery store counter, "What's the matter? What are you buying?"

"Excuse me, is there anyone who needs filtered water here?" Jiasan was a little happy to find that the shop owner was only a head taller than him.

The owner of the short pier store looked at him, "Which family are you from, why haven't I seen it before?"

Jiasan said vaguely, "I just came."

The shop owner didn't ask any further questions, and said directly, "Three cans of water and two magic crystals, do you want to do it?"

"One pot of water, one magic crystal, one meal included." Jiasan boldly added the latter condition.

The store owner looked critically at Jiasan: "Have you done this before?"

Jiasan didn't know if experienced people were needed in this line of work, but he had never done it before. He was afraid that lying would be spotted immediately, so he answered honestly: "No."

There was a gleam of joy in the shop owner's eyes, "Really? Okay, just follow the price you said, when will you start?"

"You can do it now." Seeing that the boss agreed to provide the meal, Jiasan was also very happy.

Jiasan just followed the shop owner into the backyard of his house.

The backyard is huge, and the shop owner pointed to a corner and said, "It's getting late, and all the workers have gone back. Have you seen that well over there? Your task tonight is to draw water from it to fill the five wells." A large tank, a full tank is equivalent to ten standard tanks of water. Do you know how to filter it?"

Jiasan shook his head.

The joy in the shop owner's eyes deepened, "Then call me again after fetching the water, and I will tell you how to filter it."

Jiasan called the shop owner, "Can you give me something to eat first, don't worry, I am short of energy coins, and I will never run away after eating."

The store owner's expression turned pale, "We'll talk about it after you finish fetching water."

"Wait, contract." Jiasan didn't know whether this kind of part-time workers should sign a contract, but he saw that Chu Xiaohoe only lent twelve magic crystals and asked him to press his fingerprints, so he kept an eye out.

The shop owner frowned, "Don't worry, I still don't need your magic crystal."

Jiasan said stubbornly: "Contract."

The shop owner cursed in a low voice, went back to the front, came back after a while, and threw a stone flake at Jiasan.

The content of their employment was written in the simplest words on the stone flake, and the names of the shop owner and the shop were signed on it.

"This is a temporary contract. If I don't give you the magic crystal, you can go to the village court to sue me."

"Thank you." Jiasan saw that there was nothing wrong with the content, and wiped the words on the stone, and put the stone into his arms when he saw that it could not be erased.

The shop owner went back to the shop angrily.

Jiasan touched his hungry stomach, and diligently drew water from the well and poured it into the water tank until it was full.

A bucket of water is roughly equivalent to a standard tank, and there is a scull near the mouth of the well. It is not particularly strenuous to fetch water. Add three times more effort, and five tanks of water can be filled quickly.During the period, he also secretly drank a few big mouthfuls, and barely filled himself with water.

Add three to call the shop owner.

The store owner saw that Jiasan was doing quickly, and according to the contract, he threw a hard meatloaf the size of a child's palm to him.

Jiasan was not too small, so he grabbed the meatloaf and took a big bite.This piece of ground meatloaf is very hard, as hard as a stone, and it tastes terrible, sour and bitter, and it is full of scum after chewing.

He wanted to drink water, but he was afraid that the water here could not be drunk casually.

The shop owner looked at him as if he was reincarnated from starvation, with a flash of disdain on his face.

"Hold this well, don't damage it!" The store owner handed Jiasan a metal stick.

Jiasan took the metal rod and felt his palm was stabbed, but he didn't care when he saw that there was no blood, "What is this?"

The shop owner didn't answer, just raised his chin, pointed to the water tank and said, "Filtrating water is very simple. You hold this filter rod and put it together with your hand in the water tank and stir it slowly. If the water reaches your wrist, And it must be stirred for 10 minutes. There is a timer on the side of the tank. Remember to press it every time you filter. It will remind you when the time is up. When you take out your hand, remember to put the lid on the side of the tank. If you forget, This filter is not counted. Don’t expect to lie to me, there is a test needle on the cover, if you filter does not meet the minimum requirements, the color of the cover will change, I can tell at a glance.”

Only then did Jiasan realize that those seemingly inconspicuous water tanks and lids were all alchemy tools.

"Call me when you're done." The store owner explained and went to the grocery store in front.

Seeing the boss walk away, Jiasan immediately fetched another bucket of water, and with a lot of water, he finally swallowed the meatloaf.

"Congratulations, you have been lied to again." Lei Nuo said slowly before Jiasan started to filter the well water.

Jiasan paused with three hands, and his eyes flashed fiercely: "You said he won't pay me energy coins?"

"No, he should pay you energy coins, but there is something wrong with the filtering method he told you. The freshly pumped water is full of water-seeking demon insects. The correct filtering method should be to use a specific insect sucker to attract the demon insects inside. Come out to kill, and then quickly close the tank. This is called primary filtration.

Those who are fastidious will filter it a second time or even a third time, but the effect of the insect extractor is not 100%, and there will be residual magic insects every time it is filtered.This kind of insect sucker can attract magic insects because it is full of magic power and imitates the magic source of living creatures. It is not easy to make, the price is not cheap, and the magic power needs to be replenished from time to time. If you have no magic power, you need to spend additional magic crystals.Generally speaking, the price is relatively high, and most people are reluctant to buy them, but if they are businessmen who specialize in water, they will definitely prepare one or two.

Because the cost of starting the insect sucker is high, some unscrupulous businessmen later produced a half-worm sucker, which will open a hole in the slave's body, allowing the attracted magic insects to enter the slave's body. If the slave has When the magic power or source of magic is active, there will be a lot of magic insects attracted.Because this kind of half sucker has removed the function of killing monster insects, and it only needs a little magic power to attract monster bugs when it is activated, so the price will be much cheaper than the complete bug sucker, and it does not consume much magic crystals. "

Jiasan looked at the metal rod he put on the side of the water tank, and at the palm of his hand that felt pricked just now, "Is this a half-sucker?"

"I can't see it, tell me."

Jiasan described the shape of the metal rod again, and told how he felt being pierced.

Renault said affirmatively: "I heard that the shopkeeper told you to put your hands into the water tank, and then let you filter five tanks of water at a time, so you know he didn't follow the good intentions. It really is. Because fresh water contains the most magic insects, generally water sellers will first filter it with an insect sucker first, and then let slaves or workers hold a half-sucker to filter it for a second time and a third time. If the fluke is used to filter, the damage to that person's magic source will be greater than the damage from drinking unfiltered water directly.

Do you think, how many magic insects can you drink in a sip of water?But when it is specially attracted, most of the monster insects in that tank of water will pour into the body of the filter.If the filter has not done similar work before, then his less damaging magic source will attract more magic insects.

In addition, in order not to waste too much water at one time, the vast majority of water sellers will not allow the filter to filter too much water at one time. Generally, ten cans a day is common sense, and it can reach twenty cans Even if it is too much.The shop owner you met was so greedy and ruthless that he even asked you to filter fifty cans at a time. He obviously wanted to take advantage of you when you didn't know anything and it was just the first filter. "

Knowing the truth, Jiasan had a vein on his forehead, no wonder the owner of the shop was so generous and willing to pay for the meal. He was still grateful for his generosity, but he didn't expect it was because of his "inexperience"!

Renault continued: "Actually, you don't need a filter at all. I think the water in those water tanks has almost reached the level of purity. After all, the water you pumped with your own hands and the water you condensed directly have a similar degree of purity. Not much. The longer you're around those waters, the cleaner they get."

Add three gasses, if the shop owner doesn't cheat him, it's okay for him to "filter" five tanks of pure water for him, but knowing that the shop owner has no good intentions to take advantage of him, how can he be willing to give him so much? pure water?

"Leinuo, is there a way to make my filtered water less pure again?" Jiasan molared.

Lei Nuo was silent for a while, and said: "Do you still remember the method I told you to restrain your demon energy?"

"remember."

"Every time you restrain your demon energy, the number of demon insects around you will increase. I had a guess, but I didn't test it out from your blood."

"What guess?"

"I suspect that you may have the blood of a high-level demon, and this high-level demon's blood is fused with your Xia clan's blood, so that the devil energy is gone. But your blood still exists, and non-demon creatures can't feel it. But demons can detect it instinctively. If you really have the blood of a high-level demon, then it is not surprising that you have the ability to make the water-seeker worm evade, because the water-seeker is a mutant of a low-level demon. "

Adding three breaths, in fact, he himself guessed the same way. He didn't directly admit that his blood was related to the devil, but said: "Then I use the method of restraining the devil to restrain myself...a special signal that spreads outward, those who seek water Won't the devil worm escape?"

"Special signal?" Lei Nuo was laughing, "That's right. I remember that the Xia Clan has a kind of assassin warrior. They seem to have a way to restrain their aura so that they can't be noticed. If you have the opportunity, try to learn it. It should be better than restraining the magic energy." The effect is better."

After adding three notes, he began to restrain his demon energy, and the first element of restraining demon energy was to calm the anger in his blood.

It was a bit difficult for Jiasan, since he knew the truth just now, he wanted to drag that boss out and beat him up.If he didn't have the blood of demons, and if it wasn't for Lei Nuo's guidance, his magic source might have been fully occupied by demonic insects. In other words, if there was no way to expel the demonic insects and restore the magical source, his magic talent would completely disappear.

In addition, after thinking about it, maybe the shop owner had the idea of ​​taking advantage of him after knowing that he was not a local. Later, he found out that he didn't understand anything, so he became even more unscrupulous.

Jiasan spent a lot of time calming down his anger and restraining his demonic energy, but the effect was not always good. As long as he thought of the shop owner cheating him, he would get angry.

Jiasan was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but whispered: "Water-seeking monsters, I don't know if you can understand me, if you can understand, then come back, go back to those water tanks, as long as you can reach the level of filtration Minimum requirements."

Jiasan, who didn't wear special glasses, didn't see it. When he tried his best to restrain his demonic energy and said such an order, the surrounding water-seeking monsters suddenly surged excitedly.

Jiasan waited for a while, not knowing what was going on in the water tank, so he put a lid on and watched the color change of the lid.

After the lid was put on the water tank, a wide black line in the middle slowly descended and stopped by about one-third, just at the marked red dot.

Jiasan told Renault about the change of the cover. Renault seemed to be busy with something, and he answered after a while: "One-third is the minimum filtration standard. You can put on other covers to see."

Add three remaining four water tanks and cover them with lids one by one.The display on each cover stops exactly at that red dot.

When Lei Nuo heard Jiasan's report, the stiff facial muscles twitched, "You... Let them move, don't just stick to that spot."

"Hey? Oh!" Jiasan could hear the helplessness and amusedness in Lei Nuo's tone, and tried to give the Water Seeker an order, and opened the lid at the same time.

After a while, put the lid on again, this time the black lines of the five lids are not on the standard red dot.

Jiasan rubbed his nose and whispered "thank you" to the water-seeking monsters.Waterseekers are definitely pests to the creatures in the sinful land, but they are so obedient, Jiasan doesn't know how to look at them.

The water-seeking monsters surged wildly again, and danced a group dance representing worship and yearning around Jiasan.

It's a pity that Jiasan can't see it.

Press the timer before adding three, and after five or 10 minutes, the last timer beeps, add three to the front grocery store and call the store owner.

The owner of the store seemed to want to pick a thorn and deduct the wages, but after looking at the five lids, he found that the filtration level was above the passing line. Comply with the contract.

"Have you awakened your magical talent?" The store owner asked tentatively, seeing that Jiasan didn't look particularly tired.

Jiasan pretended not to understand: "Yes, it's a pity that magic is banned here."

The shop owner was overjoyed, he got a great deal today!No wonder this kid can still stand without headache after filtering five tanks of water, and all five tanks have reached the minimum filtration standard, so he is a magic apprentice.In the past, very few magic apprentices would accept this kind of employment, unless they were slaves or had no other choice.

According to his original speculation, it would be good if this kid can filter out one cylinder that reaches the qualified line, and the remaining four cylinders must be filtered more and more badly, so that he can lose his reward-he wrote in the contract that the cylinder reaches the minimum The filter criteria will only be paid.

Although he didn't get paid, it would be nice to get five cylinders of filtered water at once so that he can provide it to some big water users.

"If you come back tomorrow, I will still give you this price. You can go to other places and ask, how many of them can do it like I do for Mojing and provide you with a meal. If you want, we can also sign a long-term contract." Contract." The shop owner wanted to make full use of this stupid and ignorant outsider, and it was not easy to meet such a deceitful person.

Jiasan resisted the strong desire to beat up the shop owner, made sure that the number of magic crystals was fine, shook his head, and left.

The store owner's face immediately turned down, but soon he smiled again and asked Jiasan: "Do you have a place to live? Do you want to live in my house? My house has vacant rooms, which are very cheap. If you have a place to live, then Don't buy some daily necessities, our products are the most complete and the best in the village, you can't find such cheap and good products as ours..."

Jiasan walked out of the grocery store without looking back.

Seeing that the sales failed, the shop owner scolded angrily: "Poor man! Sooner or later it will become jerky!"

Jiasan circled around, returned to the backyard wall of the grocery store, and said in a low voice, "Water-seeking monsters, do me a favor, go back to those five water tanks, the more the better."

Adding three is still not cruel enough, otherwise he could order the water-seeking monster to enter the filtered water that the shop owner drank.

The nearby water-seeking demon insects spread ten or ten, and soon, a large number of demon insects gathered on the edge of the five water tanks. Although the lids of the water tanks were tightly covered, they were not completely tight enough to be invisible to the naked eye. Even the water-seeking monsters couldn't get in.

If the filtered water is not stored in a relatively closed space, it will still be polluted as time goes by, but it will take a long time.

But this time, in order to fulfill that person's request, the water-seeking demon worms burrowed into the gap of the cover like crazy.

The black line on the lid of the water tank, indicating the degree of pollution, began to climb little by little, and then climbed again. Within 10 minutes, the black line reached the end.But the water-seeking monsters are still drilling and drilling into the water tank with great enthusiasm.

That night, the shop owner hung stone flakes that "supply a large amount of filtered water" outside the shop, and didn't check the five water tanks again, and closed the door to sleep with a happy mood that occupied a large area.
