Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 6 Lu Yuan's Martial Arts Manual

"Yes, I was just jealous."

"What makes Lu Yuan so special?"

"How could a country bumpkin like him become a top-level constable?"

"All he did was destroy Mount Qingcheng, didn't he?"

"What's so great about that?"

"Qingchengzi is nothing, I can do that too."

Luo Zhou made no attempt to hide her jealousy.

Lu Yuan's only achievement was destroying Qingcheng Mountain.

For him, destroying Qingcheng Mountain was not difficult.

These martial arts sects, though seemingly powerful, are actually as fragile as paper compared to the imperial court.

Breaks with a poke.

The Six Doors, in particular, hang like a Damocles' sword over the heads of all martial arts sects.

Even major sects like Wudang and Shaolin.

Even when facing the imperial court, they were quite insincere.

"You think you can? You're a coward!"

"Don't you know your own limitations?"

"Both are third-rank martial artists, and your chances against Qingchengzi are evenly matched."

"Besides, how can the elders of Qingcheng Mountain stand idly by?"

"Besides the elders, Qingcheng Mountain also has three thousand disciples."

"These people, even if you just pile them up, you'll be crushed."

“Lu Yuan, he can.”

"He did it at the age of fifteen."

"I, Bai Ze, am completely convinced that he was made an exception to become a top-level constable in our Six Doors."

Bai Ze, also a prefecture-level constable, showed Luo Zhou no respect whatsoever.

"Bai Ze, you..."

Luo Zhou stood up angrily.

"what happened?"

"You got angry just because I said a few truths?"

"enough."

Li Changge stopped the two from arguing.

"If you don't want to continue the mission, you can say so directly. I will issue a note, and you can return to the capital to report on your own."

Li Changge's gaze toward Luo Zhou carried a hint of hostility.

"Don't dare."

Luo Zhou immediately lowered his head, not daring to meet Li Changge's gaze.

"Humph."

"It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest."

"Depart at 5:00 AM."

"Yes."

"As ordered."

……

Wangyou County.

"Hiring! Hiring! Master Li urgently needs one hundred carpenters and nine hundred laborers to expand his restaurant. Salary is negotiable."

"We also urgently need to purchase a large quantity of earth, stone, and logs; the price is negotiable."

"Hiring! The blacksmith shop in the south of the city is hiring apprentices. The pay is good."

Early in the morning, numerous job postings were displayed on bulletin boards throughout Wangyou County.

The fact that several wealthy businessmen in Wangyou County suddenly started hiring at the same time puzzled passersby.

Not only were passersby puzzled, but the shopkeepers under the wealthy merchant were also perplexed by this.

My master only went to the Chen family for a banquet, and as soon as he came back, he wanted to hire people, almost doubling the number. Can the shop accommodate so many employees?

You suddenly pulled this stunt.

I can't understand it at all.

Not only in Wangyou County, but also in other parts of Dayong, large-scale construction projects were launched at almost the same time.

For Lu Yuan, life hasn't changed much.

My daily work remains the same: patrolling and maintaining public order.

Catch the petty thief.

Lu Yuan had just finished get off work in the evening.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, I found that guests had come to my house.

A little kid was sitting on a stone bench, gnawing on a pork knuckle that was bigger than her face.

Chen Yiyi, Chen Nian's youngest daughter, has just turned six and is at an age where she is full of curiosity about the outside world.

Unlike her brother, who loved reading, Chen Yiyi preferred martial arts and was full of curiosity about the martial arts world.

Whenever she had free time, she would pester her grandfather to tell her stories.

Tell some stories from the martial arts world.

The white-clad swordsman, with a single sword strike, shattered a thousand armors, and became the number one swordsman.

The great hero of Xiangyang fought a great demonic master and perished together with him.

The young hero fell off a cliff and was rescued by a reclusive master who taught him unparalleled martial arts, making him a master of his generation.

After hearing so many stories, Chen Yiyi developed the idea of venturing into the world.

Especially when she learned that her uncle was a legendary martial arts master, she had the idea of becoming his apprentice.

She would come over every few days to ask Lu Yuan to teach her martial arts.

Martial arts are such a thing.

Lu Yuan wouldn't. But he didn't want to refuse her.

I can only teach her the basics.

Such as practicing horse stance.

……

"Uncle Yuan, Uncle Yuan."

When Chen Yiyi saw Lu Yuan return home, she reluctantly put down the big pork knuckle and excitedly ran towards Lu Yuan.

Her greasy little hands hugged Lu Yuan's leg.

"Uncle Yuan, Yiyi succeeded."

"He held the horse stance for an hour."

"You promised Yiyi that you would teach her unparalleled martial arts."

"Yiyi is ready."

Chen Yiyi looked at Lu Yuan excitedly, anticipating the unparalleled martial arts skills that were about to be revealed.

"Oh, really?"

"Did Yiyi really do it?"

"You didn't lie to Uncle Yuan? You'd be a dog if you lied."

Lu Yuan jokingly picked up Chen Yiyi and placed her on his shoulder.

"Yiyi didn't lie."

"Yiyi is not a puppy."

"If you don't believe me, ask your great-grandfather. Yiyi really did it."

Chen Yiyi pointed to Lao Lu, who was smiling with his eyes narrowed on the stone bench.

Old Lu nodded, confirming that Chen Yiyi was not lying.

"Wow, Yiyi is amazing!"

"You truly are the most talented in martial arts among the Chen family."

"Alright, since Yiyi has done it, Uncle Yuan will never go back on his word."

Lu Yuan smiled and took out a book he had prepared for a long time from his pocket.

The pages were brand new, and there was still a strong smell of ink on them.

There are four characters written on the book cover.

A divine palm strike that shakes the heavens.

"Wow, so cool!"

Chen Yiyi's eyes lit up as she excitedly turned to the first page.

The first move of the Heaven-Shattering Divine Palm is "Overwhelming Force".

That's an amazing move.

Excited heart, trembling hands.

Chen Yiyi continued to turn the pages of the book, and then her expression suddenly fell.

My eyes were filled with disbelief.

Because the content that follows is too rudimentary.

There were no annotations, only extremely simple stick figures posing.

Is this really an unparalleled martial art?
"Yiyi, what kind of look is that?"

"Don't you believe in your Uncle Yuan's unparalleled martial arts skills?"

Lu Yuan noticed Chen Yiyi's gaze and felt inexplicably guilty.

Could it be that she discovered it?
"No, Uncle Yuan, why is your martial arts manual only filled with stick figures and no annotations?"

"I heard my grandfather say that martial arts manuals all have annotations, otherwise you will suffer from qi deviation."

Chen Yiyi nodded as she flipped through the book.

"Cough cough."

"Peerless martial arts can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words, so there are no explanations for peerless martial arts."

"Of course, Yiyi, you can't practice blindly. Without someone to teach you, you'll go astray."

"emmm."

"Uncle Yuan, is your unparalleled martial arts technique limited to just one move?"

Chen Yiyi flipped through the pages and found that the back pages were blank. The earth-shattering palm technique that Lu Yuan had given her only had one move.

"of course not."

"Once Yiyi has learned the first move, Uncle Yuan will teach you the second move."

Lu Yuan said with a serious expression.

He can't very well say that he hasn't figured out how to weave the second move yet, can he?

That would damage the glorious image of his elders.

That won't work.

"Uncle Yuan, could you demonstrate for Yiyi?"

"Yiyi needs to learn the first move of the Heaven-Shattering Palm."

"Good, good, good."

"Yiyi has such high aspirations."

"Let me demonstrate for you."

Lu Yuan put Chen Yiyi down.
