Astral Apostle Chapter 32: New breathing technique
Hire me as a bodyguard?
As soon as Zhou Jing's heart moved, he knew why Lute left him alone.
The lord must have asked other hunters before, but they refused. Now he found himself a newcomer, so he came to ask.
It may not be because I am so special. It is estimated that all the new hunters and lords of Baiyuan City have sent invitations.
Zhou Jing rolled his eyes, and instead of refusing immediately, he asked, "Being your bodyguard, so you don't have to hunt exotic beasts?"
"The main duty of the guard is to protect my personal safety." Lute nodded and smiled. He didn't say it directly, but the meaning was almost implied.
Zhou Jing was curious: "I saw before that you already have some guards around you. In Baiyuan City, you don't seem to encounter any danger. What do you need more guards for?"
"The threat of alien beasts is aimed at the whole city, but some threats are only aimed at me personally, because I am the lord, some people who oppose me may plot my life. And now that the world has changed, some alien blood warriors If you have power but want to do evil, the lord is not safe." Root shook his head.
"Is that so..." Zhou Jing said thoughtfully, "Then what kind of remuneration can you offer to hire me?"
Lute suddenly regained his spirits.
As usual, he sent invitations to new hunters, just with the mentality of giving it a try. In the past, many hunters directly rejected him out of the hunter's sense of honor without waiting for him to talk about the reward.
At this time, seeing Zhou Jing asking about the commission, Lute felt that there was something to be said, and said:
"Eighty Thai silver coins every ten days, all kinds of medicines are supplied at cost prices."
That's it?
Zhou Jing secretly shook his head.
Eighty ten days, only two hundred and four a month, the income of a beast hunter is not necessarily lower than this, as long as there are more hunting times in a month, it can be exceeded.
But after thinking about it, this commission is almost risk-free, basically like giving it for nothing, and you don't have to risk your life to hunt. Some blood warriors who dare not be hunters are more willing to earn this stable money.
But... Zhou Jing is not very interested in the money from the world of alien beasts.
The products here are poor, and even if you have money, the things you can buy are limited.
A lord in a remote area doesn't seem to be able to provide any rare resources... Even if he could, he wouldn't use it as a commission.
"Forget it, I want to be a hunter."
Zhou Jing shook his head. He was just asking about the market. The apostle's "goal in life" is to become a beast hunter, so naturally he would not change his career easily.
"...Okay." Root took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile: "My invitation is still valid. One day you change your mind, you can come to me."
I'm afraid there will not be such a day...
Zhou Jing said goodbye to Lu Te without saying anything, and left the lord's longhouse.
All the hunters left, Root waved away all the attendants, and paced the banquet hall where he was alone.
At this time, a figure turned out from another door, it was a man with a cropped head.
Root looked over: "Did you hear what you said just now?"
The inch-headed man calmly hummed, and he hid behind this door the whole time.
Root is used to the miraculous performance of the cut-headed man, so he didn't ask him how he managed to hide from the perception of a group of hunters, and how he could clearly understand their conversation from such a distance, he laughed and said:
"It seems that you guessed wrong, none of the hunters were damaged."
"I heard the situation. It was the new hunter named Jason who took the risk and quickly solved one of them. Good luck."
The inch-headed man spoke calmly.
Lute rubbed his chin, and suddenly said: "What do you think of this Jason? I heard from other hunters that he seems to be a genius. He has just become a hunter, and his strength can be compared to the second enhancement..."
"A bit capable, but that's it, no different from other hunters."
The cut-headed man doesn't care.
……
Zhou Jing went back to the hotel to rest for the night, and the reward was delivered the next morning.
One is the selling price of the strange beast submitted to the workshop, and the other is the bounty promised by the lord, a total of two hundred and twenty Terran silver coins.
The workshop recycles the corpses of alien beasts. The total price is fixed, and there will be no extra money for one more person. The 12 hunters were assigned, and each of them had limited money, but it was still quite a generous reward.
Zhou Jing suddenly had a lot more money, and immediately paid back the money he owed to Baron.
And took him to the workshop, and transferred the exchange share of the different blood potion that he just got to Baron, making up the debt.
After killing the two split-claw bears this time, the workshop gave each participating hunter two chances to exchange the different blood medicine.
But at present, there is no inventory of the different blood potion in the workshop, so he didn't use it.
But Baron seemed to have an idea.
"Do you want to reserve a potion of the split claw bear? Don't you plan to strengthen it again?"
The person in charge of the workshop looked at Baron in front of him with a surprised tone.
Baron scratched his head, and laughed: "The strengthening direction of the split claw bear is very suitable for me. Even if I don't want to strengthen it again, it is good to prepare a different blood potion that suits me in advance. I changed my mind someday. , I don’t need to look for potions everywhere.”
"That's right." The person in charge of the workshop nodded.
Standing by the side, Zhou Jing asked curiously, "By the way, how many different blood potions can these two split-claw bears make?"
"It depends on the situation." The person in charge of the workshop analyzed with his fingers: "I have already checked your needs, and after removing the materials used to make the equipment you want, the remaining materials should be able to make five to five Eight different blood potions."
The output is not bad... Zhou Jing nodded.
Twelve hunters participated in the crusade, but the hunters always get what they need, and they will not exchange it if they don't need the split claw bear potion, and the remaining potions that no one wants will become the inventory of the workshop.
"By the way, congratulations on becoming an official hunter yet." The person in charge of the workshop said with a smile.
"Thanks."
Zhou Jing nodded, and then asked, "How long will it take for this batch of equipment to be produced?"
"The two long knives you want are relatively simple and can be made in 20 days, but the leather armor is more troublesome. Special treatment must be done to the fur of the split claw bear. It may take a little longer, probably two or three months , come and get it when the time comes."
"That's quite a long time."
Zhou Jing scratched the corners of his eyebrows. He was used to the fast-shipping productivity of the interstellar era, and he was a little uncomfortable with such a long manual production cycle.
Baron patted him on the shoulder: "It's just right, you have dealt with a high-risk beast, and you are already an official hunter. Next, I don't think you need to go hunting. You need a new round of practice. I will teach you when I return to the village. Another breathing technique, at your learning speed, you can practice it in about three months."
He is used to the abnormal learning speed of "Jason Wood", and found that once he accepts such a setting, it is actually very interesting.
"Alright." Zhou Jing nodded.
Already embarking on the road of alien blood enhancement, he felt that he needed to supplement his skills, and then carry out a second enhancement, trying to find a way to increase the success rate of the second enhancement.
At this time, Baron suddenly smiled and said: "By the way, I told Weiss yesterday that he plans to go to Shuangmu Village as a guest, and by the way, he will also teach you the breathing technique he has mastered, so you have to learn it at the same time. Two breathing techniques."
Zhou Jing was startled, but he just found out.
"Didn't you say that too much breathing technique is useless?"
"I said so...but you are different."
Baron laughed.
Because of Zhou Jing's weird learning speed, Baron was not going to hold on to his common sense anymore, thinking that it might not be a bad idea to let Zhou Jing learn more breathing skills.
He himself only knows two kinds of breathing techniques, so he privately invited Weiss to teach him new breathing techniques.
"Wes' breathing technique is different from mine. His breathing technique can improve speed and agility, which is just right for your strengthening direction."
"...Thank you."
Zhou Jing was a little moved when he saw that Baron was planning for himself and secretly helping him find a new teacher.
He is such a good and conscientious teacher.
He silently calculated, because of the rewards of [Entering the Extraordinary] and [First Killing an Alien Beast - High Risk], the astral points in his hand reached more than 2,400 points, which is much more generous.
If it takes 700 points to master Lv4 for one breathing technique, and 1400 points for two, then your own astral points are definitely enough, and there are also daily benefits from each shuttle and placement.
And it takes about three months to practice to this level, which is also like three or four days in the main world.
The first step of different blood enhancement has been completed, now it is only necessary to achieve the second different blood enhancement, and the remaining two [life goals] can be completed, the route is clear, and the time for this development is enough devoted.
……
After receiving the reward and setting a pick-up time with the workshop, Zhou Jing and Baron did not continue to stay in Baiyuan City. They went to the tavern to find Weiss, and they left the town for Shuangmu Village.
Weiss didn't mind spending some time living in the village and teaching Zhou Jing breathing skills.
On the one hand, he is not a garrison hunter himself, and generally moves around at will, and stays wherever he goes.
Another reason is that he also feels that Zhou Jing has a bright future, and he also wants to make friends, so he is not stingy with the breathing skills he has mastered.
By the way, Weiss also wants to see if Baron said last night that Zhou Jing can master a set of breathing techniques in a few months, is he fooling him... If this is false, he can beat Baron twice. One hundred silver coins.
Anyway, Weiss felt that he was sure to win, and if someone would do charity for him, it would not be in vain if he didn't come.
Several people trekked all the way back to Shuangmu Village.
The village is full of smoke, without the noise of the town, it is quite peaceful and peaceful.
A few people came to the entrance of the village and found a kid squatting on the side of the road sullenly, poking dung with a branch, it was Lena.
Reiner turned his head and saw Zhou Jing and the others, and said angrily, "You guys are finally back, it's too much, you can even lie to children!"
Zhou Jing couldn't help the corner of his mouth twitching.
It happened a few days ago, and now I still have a grudge, are you so vengeful?
But when Reiner saw Weiss in the crowd, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised
"Uncle Wes!"
"Hahaha, it's little Lena, come here and let uncle hug you."
Weiss chuckled, bent over and hugged the leaping Reiner, and threw it into the sky a few times.
He has a good relationship with Baron, and he has been to Shuangmu Village several times before, and he knows some villagers.
Especially Reiner, who would pester him to ask questions every time. Weiss, a chatterbox, never refused to come and talk nonsense to the child every time.
It may be said that Reiner's longing for the outside world is to a certain extent being fooled by Weiss.
With Wes, Reiner ignored Zhou Jing and giggled at Weiss.
Seeing this, Zhou Jing secretly lamented Baron's wisdom.
He should have invited Weiss over earlier, so that he would not be pestered by Reiner long ago.
After teasing Reiner for a while, everyone went to the village chief.
The village head also welcomed Weiss' arrival, and Griff and other members of the hunter team also came to meet with Weiss.
Everyone knows each other, and after a casual chat, they helped Wes solve the housing problem,
After all the problems in life were settled, Baron immediately pulled Zhou Jing and Weiss to the training ground, straight to the point.
"The hunter's breathing and tempering you learned are only used to exercise your physical fitness, and the breathing technique that Weiss and I are about to teach you is specially used for combat, allowing you to burst out with stronger abilities when facing enemies. "
In the training ground, Baron faced Zhou Jing and demonstrated another hunter's breathing technique he had mastered.
There was a sudden convulsion between his breaths, the muscles all over his body seemed to swell, and the muscles twisted like living snakes.
Hunter Breath Power!
Baron jumped forward, jumped up into the air, and then smashed down with a punch.
Boom!
Earth and rocks splashed, and a small hole was punched out on the ground.
Baron let out this breath slowly, his swollen muscles returned to their original shape, and explained:
"My breathing technique can temporarily increase strength, whether it is wrestling with strange beasts, or increasing destructive power at critical moments, it can be used."
I understand, this is a "violent" BUFF... Zhou Jing nodded.
Seeing this, Weiss also moved his body, eager to try.
"His breathing technique is generally used to confront alien beasts head-on, while my breathing technique is to increase speed and agility. As long as you are flexible enough, alien beasts will not be able to hit you, and you can find opportunities to severely injure alien beasts." Crucial."
After the voice fell, Weiss took a long breath suddenly, and there was a whistling sound.
Hunter's breath · disease!
He strode forward and ran wildly at an astonishing speed, and in the process of running, he made a series of skillful dodging movements, which was quite flexible and easy to handle.
Weiss' eyes suddenly moved, and he thought of making fun of it. He turned his head and ran around Baron, poking Baron's bald head from time to time.
"Show it if you show it, don't touch my head!"
Baron's eyelids twitched, and he wanted to raise his hand to grab Weiss.
But Weiss avoided it flexibly again and again, turning around after Baron like a phantom, and kept teasing his bald head from behind.
At this time, Weiss suddenly changed direction and ran towards Zhou Jing, wanting to repeat the old trick and let Zhou Jing personally experience his flexibility after using breathing.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, Zhou Jing had already caught his movement, and his reaction was as sharp as an electric shock.
Zhou Jing nimbly turned away from Weiss's hand, slipped under Weiss' armpit, and hugged Weiss' waist.
"Huh?" Weiss was startled, and immediately vented his breath, trying to break free.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Jing chuckled, without any hesitation, he fell on his back, and gave him back the operation of Weiss when they met for the first time~IndoMTL.com~Plop!
Weiss fell on his back and was ashamed.
Baron laughed from the sidelines, gloating at his misfortune.
Weiss spat out a mouthful of sand, turned over and sat up, secretly making a mistake.
If I had known Zhou Jing's strength after strengthening, I wouldn't have teased him.
Weiss coughed to hide his embarrassment.
"Anyway, this is the effect of my breathing technique, which makes you move faster... Although you caught me, the breathing technique itself is fine. The more agile you are, the better the breathing technique will be."
"See it."
Zhou Jing suppressed his smile and nodded.
Weiss's speed is indeed faster than usual, and this breathing technique is indeed quite suitable for himself who has strengthened his high-sensitivity and high-explosive route. No wonder Baron specially pulled Weiss to teach him this breathing technique.
The two demonstrated for a while, and they didn't stop making jokes, and began to teach the key points of these two breathing techniques.
Zhou Jing quickly remembered, and relevant information immediately popped up on the panel.
[Learning [Hunter's Breath · Strength]]
[One of the hunter's breathing techniques, short-term increase in strength]
[Skill level: Lv0- (not yet started)]
[Minimum fee for practicing acceleration: 100 star points]
——
[Learning [Hunter's Breath · Disease]]
[One of the hunter's breathing techniques, temporarily enhances agility]
[Skill level: Lv0- (not yet started)]
[Minimum fee for practicing acceleration: 100 star points]
There are two breathing techniques, and the cost of speeding up is the same as [Hunter's Breath · Forging].
Zhou Jing didn't hesitate, and immediately started to practice acceleration, and decided that in the next period of time, he would follow the two of them to practice two breathing techniques first.
