Chapter 60: Sweating more often should be sweating, right?
Chapter 60: I sweat a lot... should it be sweating?
"You look like a controller to me!"
"boom!"
As the smoke quickly dissipated, Feng Xue picked up the arm armor-shaped equipment that Liu Yunxi had transformed into. After fiddling with it for a few times, he shook his head. Seeing his expression, Liu Yunxi, who didn't know where to look, immediately made a dissatisfied sound:
"You wanted change, but you're not satisfied with the result. What exactly do you want?"
"Some things are hard to explain to you clearly." Feng Xue scratched his head with an expression that said, "It's hard for you to understand my thinking with your IQ." When Liu Yunxi became autistic again, he took out a pen and paper to study.
Although Liu Yunxi's transformation will be affected by his thoughts, for example, when changing into a cup, it will turn into another thin-mouthed soft cup according to his thoughts, but this influence also has its limits. For example, Feng Xue cannot accurately decide whether it is the six-linked meridian or the red knot. At most, it can affect whether it is a slow play or an exciting one, which is the limit.
But Feng Xue was not satisfied with this, because yesterday's battle made him clearly aware of his combat shortcomings.
The poor control over his soul has greatly affected his combat capability. Although the Jade-Jie method can train the precision of the soul, this kind of training is like the physical training technique, which requires a gradual process. Even if his progress is very rapid, his ever-decreasing lifespan will still urge him to speed up.
The idea of using magic weapons in combat is obviously correct, but how to use the magic weapons more efficiently, rather than becoming a comedian who uses magic power to shower people like last night, is something he must consider.
He also thought about using the effect of the Ghost Controlling Spell to let Mo Ming carry offensive magic power to hit people. This is indeed feasible. In fact, there is a technique for this in the Ghost Controlling Spell.
But even though Mo Ming is gifted and can carry Feng Xue's massive mana, he can only barely make up for the unilateral attack, turning the Xuan Xiu who has a variety of means into a warlock-type profession that can only throw fireballs.
So, he set his sights on Liu Yunxi.
Although Liu Yunxi's current cultivation level is limited, he is still a serious demon cultivator who has practiced for more than 40 years. Moreover, unlike Xuan cultivators, demons need to practice the control of demonic energy. In other words, if he can use Liu Yunxi's control to control his own magic power, wouldn't it be possible to achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two?
However, ideals are full, but reality is very skinny. Unlike Mo Ming who has a spiritual connection, Feng Xue and Liu Yunxi cannot communicate with each other's minds. This means that even if Liu Yunxi can really control Feng Xue's magic power, various problems will arise due to the lack of tacit understanding between the two.
So he considered using the [Giving Seal] method to turn Liu Yunxi into a device that could have a direct mental connection with him, but at least based on the current experimental results, there is still a long way to go.
However, Feng Xue was not the type to dwell on trivial matters. Even if he couldn't practice the Jade Nurturing Method, it would still produce training effects, but he naturally wouldn't spend all his precious time on a project like this that would be completely useless if he couldn't figure it out. In addition to his scheduled practice schedule, he also began to research the derivative directions of spells while possessing spirits.
This was not because he was arrogant. The main reason was that the materials he brought included a lot of Taoist scriptures and Taoist canons. As of now, the Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory, which serves as the theoretical basis of the Xuanxiu system in this world, is similar to that in the previous world. Feng Xue naturally thought about referring to the Taoist fasting and offering rituals, magic theories, the Qi and blood principles of traditional Chinese medicine, and even some novels and comics that mixed Taoist theories before the time travel, to see if he could come up with some useful techniques.
"Ding dong!"
A clear, crisp sound of a copper bell entered the room through the sound transmission mechanism. Feng Xue picked up Liu Yunxi and checked the life lock. Then he walked towards the door and said to the copper pipe in front of the door:
"Who?"
"Mr. Feng, it's me. We've delivered the things you ordered!" The broker's voice came in a muffled voice. Feng Xue was quite surprised. He pushed open the door and saw the broker standing outside the courtyard gate from a distance.
The only bad thing about the big house is that the main gate and the courtyard gate are about ten meters apart. Even if Feng Xue opened the courtyard gate directly, the broker would be very well-behaved and not step in.
Feng Xue did not try to persuade him, but said directly:
"So fast? Don't cut corners just to make things faster!"
"How could that be! I asked the best craftsman in the guild to make them. Feel free to check them. If there's any problem, you can tear them apart!" The dealer said with a look of confidence. Feng Xue reached out to take the things he handed over, but he didn't let his words down. Looking at the leggings and sleeves with fine stitching and sturdy material, Feng Xue tugged at them, shook them vigorously, and after confirming that there were no problems, he tied them on and moved around for a while. After confirming that they were strong enough and would not affect his movements, he nodded with satisfaction.
"how much is it?"
"Not much..." Yazi was about to say he'd give it away for free, but seeing Feng Xue's serious expression, he offered a discounted price:
"Just give me a hundred coins!"
"That's right, it's the right amount!" Feng Xue nodded in satisfaction, took out two of the smallest bills in his wallet and handed them to the yazi.
"The extra amount will be charged for expedited service!"
"Thank you for the reward, Mr. Feng! Just tell me if you need anything! I will definitely do it beautifully for you!" The yazi felt that he had "figured out" Feng Xue's character, so he did not refuse this time. He accepted the money with a nod and a bow, and after making a promise that sounded like a vow, he turned around and said goodbye.
Feng Xue didn't care. He turned around and went back to his room. He began to choose suitable ones from his newly carved jade plates and started to arm himself.
There is no need to consider the leggings, as they will definitely contain the [Divine Movement Curse], but Feng Xue has to consider the choices in the sleeves. For breaking evil damage, there is the [Demon Slaying Curse], for defense, there are the [Golden Body Curse] and the [Jade Transformation Curse], for energy attacks, there are the [Thunder Inducing Curse] and the [Fire Inducing Curse], and there are also two spells that require ghosts to match: the [Ghost Controlling Curse] and the [Nightmare Prayer Curse].
However, this kind of thing cannot be discussed on paper. Fortunately, he is now a man with a mansion. He came to the second floor, which is probably a large house used for family banquets, and directly threw Liu Yunxi out and said:
"You look like a human to me!"
"Oh, are you hungry? Planning to use the kitchen on the second floor?" Liu Yunxi took a look and confirmed her location. Feng Xue shook her head, fastened her leggings and sleeves, and then took out the jade tokens one by one and inserted them into the small pocket with a button. She also took out two wooden sticks and said:
"I want to adjust my spell configuration. You and I will fight."
"Are you serious?" Liu Yunxi caught the stick and looked at Feng Xue suspiciously. Seeing this, Feng Xue first checked his own life lock and confirmed Liu Yunxi's [Giving Seal] before nodding. "Of course I'm serious, but this is mainly to test the combination of spells. Normal sparring will be fine."
"Okay! I'll hold back!" Liu Yunxi smiled brightly. In the past, Feng Xue would have stood at attention to show respect, but at this moment, he felt that this snake demon was a little...
Want to try?
"Don't be dazed, I'm coming to attack!" Liu Yunxi swung the wooden stick in her hand as hard as if she was waving a whip. The whistling sound of the wind made Feng Xue doubt whether she really intended to hold back.
However, Feng Xue was not a pretentious person. He understood the principle of sweating more in peacetime and bleeding less in war. He simply gritted his teeth and channeled his magic power into the magic weapon.
The inspiration comes, the discussion begins!
Note ①: The price of this clothing is not something I wrote too high or that it is of high quality. The price of clothes in the Shangguo period is even more outrageous than the price of grain. Not to mention the high price of ready-made clothes, if you rip the cloth and make it yourself, one piece of cloth costs two or three silver dollars (this was in the early days), and at most you can make three or four pieces of clothing. One piece of clothing probably cost twenty kilograms of rice... That was the price of grain in the Shangguo period!
If you insist on using current prices, you can understand that a piece of clothing made of ordinary material would cost one or two thousand yuan if you buy the cloth and make it yourself, and four or five thousand yuan if you buy it ready-made. However, considering the style, this piece could also be a set, but it's still outrageous. Remember, many modern farmers may not earn four or five thousand yuan a year from farming.
So it’s no wonder that the elders in my family often say that the whole family used to have only one piece of clothing, and whoever went out wore it (I even heard that some people went to work in the fields naked in the middle of the night to save clothes).
From this perspective, the protagonist's sleeves and leggings, which are made of good materials and by good tailors, are indeed cost-effective at 100 wen (purchasing power is about the same as one silver dollar).
ps: Sometimes I am really worried about modern people’s reading ability, especially their ability to understand long sentences. They can only read half of a long sentence. The worst thing is that when they find something wrong, the first thing they do is not to read it again, but to ask you directly, “You wrote it wrong.”... How can a sentence like “suffering under... circumstances” be understood as suffering now?
I figured a closer look wouldn't be more troublesome than posting a typo. Thinking about the current state of the internet, I suddenly understood how Warhammer technology had declined. So, Huangpizi is the customer service representative who teaches people how to install Steam?
