I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

Xu Hao left the martial arts school and went straight into the fish stall.

It was still Cui's fish stall, and the same familiar owner.

The shopkeeper, who was sitting in front of the counter, immediately sat up straight when he saw someone enter. Then, when he saw Xu Hao's face and the Chen Family Martial Arts School uniform that Xu Hao was wearing, he couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.

The face looked familiar, but considering the martial arts school's attire, he couldn't remember who it was!

"Young man, do you need to buy fish?" The shopkeeper couldn't remember, but still asked kindly.

No matter who it is, when they come to a fish stall, it's almost always related to fish.

"My name is Xu Hao, from the Chen Family Martial Arts School. I have come here to take up the position of guard for the Cui family." Xu Hao was not bothered that the shopkeeper did not remember who he was and directly stated his purpose.

After all, the person I was more than half a month ago is completely different from the person I am now.

"Are you a martial artist?" The shopkeeper in front of the counter immediately stood up.

Such a young martial artist?

"This is the letter of introduction from the master of the martial arts school!" Xu Hao took out a letter from Chen Changhe, the master of the Chen Family Martial Arts School, from his pocket.

The Cui family manager accepted the document with both hands, glanced at it, and then said, "It's not that I don't trust Master Chen, it's just that there's a certain risk involved in providing protection this time, and we need martial artists!"

"That makes perfect sense!" Xu Hao smiled and circulated his cultivation technique. Instantly, his skin turned almost bronze.

"Enough! Young Master, you are truly a genius!" the Cui family manager praised, immediately taking out a piece of white paper, writing down some information, and then solemnly handing it to Xu Hao with both hands, explaining, "There just so happens that a Cui family ship is heading to the Treasure Fish Pond on the Blackwater River today. You can board it; this is your pass. Once you get there, the Cui family will make the necessary arrangements!"

"Thank you!" Xu Hao accepted the gift, thanked the man, and then walked out of the dock.

Xu Hao stood on the dock and immediately spotted the Cui family's large ship.

Very big.

It bears the Cui family's special markings.

Xu Hao took a deep breath and immediately stepped forward, holding his token and letter of recommendation in his hands.

The journey was smooth and unobstructed.

Before long, Xu Hao arrived on the large ship.

Several martial artists still stand on the large ship today.

The robes are all different.

Most of them were servants from other martial arts schools.

Xu Hao glanced at them and found that they were all first-level martial artists, with attributes around ten, no different from his own.

However, in terms of the characteristics enhanced by the technique, it is still inferior to him.

Xu Hao immediately had a plan.

"My name is Zhou Zikai, from the Tong Family Martial Arts School!" A martial artist approached Xu Hao familiarly and introduced himself.

Xu Hao glanced at it, his expression hardening.

The person in front of him was the same as the fat man Huang Shan he had killed, with a red name above his head.

Anyone who has played games knows what red represents.

Is it an enemy of me, or is it inherently wicked?

After such a kill, you should get a lot of experience points!

Xu Hao immediately investigated the specific information.

Zhou Zikai, a first-tier martial artist, has the following stats: Strength 10, Stamina 9, Agility 9, Spirit 5.

Kung Fu Technique: Tong Family Iron Wire Fist (Mastery), Special Ability: Strength +4, Speed ​​+3 during use

Breaking the trait grants +7 to defense.

"Defense only +7?"

Zhou Zikai's attributes are mediocre; even among first-level martial artists, he is considered poor.

Moreover, the so-called Iron Wire Fist is far inferior to the Fierce Tiger Fist he learned.

With a defense rating of only seven, it's practically like a child playing house.

However, Xu Hao remained outwardly calm, cupping his fists in return and saying, "My name is Xu Hao, from the Chen Family Martial Arts School!"

"Chen Family Martial Arts School? That's a large martial arts school, and all the disciples there are elites!" Zhou Zikai complimented.

"Not at all!" Xu Hao laughed. "Those you're talking about are the other elite fellow disciples; as far as I'm concerned, they're far inferior!"

Xu Hao was not lying; his cultivation was indeed quite mediocre.

This was only because of his familiarity with the game panel; without cheats, he probably wouldn't even be able to break through to the next level.

Seeing that Xu Hao was unwilling to say more, Zhou Zikai spoke up, "Once we get to the Cui family's fishpond, let's all visit each other and help one another!"

"Okay!" Xu Hao nodded.

Zhou Zikai smiled, then took his leave to meet other martial artists.

Xu Hao waited a few more moments before the Cui family members began boarding the ship.

"Sir, this way please!" Once everyone had arrived, a member of the Cui family immediately came to lead them.

Before long, Xu Hao arranged for him to enter the cabin.

Xu Hao didn't ask any questions or move around. He went into the cabin, settled into a room, and waited quietly.

After a few incense sticks' worth of time, the large ship slowly set sail, and a feeling of waves rippling came over us.

After traveling for about half an hour, the large ship slowed down and slowly approached the shore.

"Dock!" A powerful voice resounded throughout the entire ship.

Xu Hao stood up from his cabin, tidied his clothes, and walked out of the cabin.

The other hired guards also stepped forward.

Before long, a large number of people gathered at this simple dock on the Blackwater River.

Each one of them possesses abundant qi and blood.

After landing, everyone inquired about each other.

"I am Huang Guangming, from the Qianxi Martial Arts School, and I have broken through the first level of martial arts body tempering!" Just as everyone was looking at each other, a martial artist loudly introduced himself.

These words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

But soon, most of the martial artists turned their attention away.

I don't care who you are, I'm just here to collect my paycheck. As long as I do my job well, that's all that matters.

The main reason for not forming cliques or engaging in favoritism is to seek stability.

Seeing the reactions around him, Huang Guangming could only give an awkward smile.

"Gentlemen!" Just when everyone was wondering what to do next, a voice drew everyone's attention.

A middle-aged man dressed in the Cui family's attire strode over and stood before the crowd. "I am Cui Zhishan, the manager of the Cui family's treasured fishpond. Greetings, everyone."

"Good morning, Manager Cui!"

Xu Hao looked over and discovered that Manager Cui was actually a second-level martial artist.

[Cui Zhishan, Second-Level Martial Artist, Strength: 15, Stamina: 16, Agility: 15, Spirit: 8]

Kung Fu Technique: Cui Family Fist (Minor Mastery), Special Feature: Strength +9, Speed ​​+6 during execution

First breakthrough trait, Defense +8.

Second breakthrough trait: Stamina +7.

Cui Zhishan nodded in response, and then waved his hand.

Immediately, members of the Cui family unfurled banners listing various job titles.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I won't waste any more words. This is the location of the entire Treasure Fish Pond in my Cui family, and the positions you will be taking up. Please choose freely!"

As soon as the Cui family steward finished speaking, the dozen or so martial artists who had just arrived immediately turned their attention to him.

The list shows a number of positions, most of which are patrol.

There are also some odd jobs, such as feeding and slaughtering the fish.

These chores look tedious and time-consuming.

"I want this!"

"I saw it first!" In an instant, a martial artist rushed in front of Cui Zhishan and seized the position.

Some people made a move, while others watched from the sidelines, and most people kept their eyes fixed on Cui Zhishan.

After Cui Zhishan stopped them, even more people joined in.
