The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Zhao Chuanxin jumped out of bed.

Violent armor consists of four parts. It's black, with a shiny surface and fine vertical lines, just like a beetle's shell.

Zhao Chuanxin took off his cotton robe and trousers, and suddenly felt chilly.

First, buckle the two elbow pads on the left and right elbows.

With a snap, the elbow pads closed tightly.

The knee pads are also buckled up.

Zhao Chuanxin put on his trousers and cotton robe again, moved his elbows, and the violent armor elbow pads had only two directions of movement - expansion and contraction.

He suddenly pushed out his fist, feeling like a tiger was blowing, and the wide sleeves of his cotton robe roared, as if they were about to be torn apart.

He took a few steps and felt no help.

Arriving at the yard, Zhao Chuanxin started to jog.

At this time, you can feel the boost. The violent armor knee pads are the same as the elbow pads. They only have two directions of extension and contraction.

In fact, the movement direction of human elbows is very narrow. It is only because the shoulder joint is flexible that it makes people feel that the elbows are also very flexible, and the same is true for the knees.

Arriving at the edge of the courtyard wall, Zhao Chuanxin bent his knees and bounced.

Whoosh...

He didn't use all his strength and easily jumped onto the 1.8-meter-high dragon wall.

For the first time in his life, Zhao Chuanxin jumped to a height of 1.8 meters without relying on a smart gyroscope.

He stepped on the wall and ran quickly with cat steps. He came to a small bridge and jumped on his knees, turning somersaults in the air.

Although he is strong and physically fit, he has never done a somersault without the assistance of a smart gyroscope.

Because I dare not, for fear of hitting my head on the ground...

But this time I did it easily.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the Miao Dao he just bought and chopped with one hand.

With the help of the violent armor, the sharp whistling sound of the blade breaking through the air can be faintly heard.

What will happen to people if this knife goes down?

It’s really unimaginable.

Zhao Chuanxin used the Miao Dao as a one-handed sword, slashing and slashing vigorously. He didn't know any other moves.

Everyone held it with one hand in front and the other behind, but he only held the back end of the handle.

With so much strenuous exercise, the skin under the violent armor elbow pads and knee pads will not feel painful because there is a layer of soft glue-like substance attached to it.

Furious armor is biological armor, not mechanical. The structure of biological evolution is far more efficient than the machinery designed by intelligence, just like the motor of flagellum evolution, the rotation efficiency is as high as 100%.

Zhao Chuanxin had no idea what the power source of the Violent Armor was. It was an undisclosed secret of the Beetle clan.

After playing for a while, Zhao Chuanxin returned to the house and opened the "Old God Codex" again.

[The leader of the forest elves found me: Fearless Pioneer, thank you for your efforts on our behalf. The snake people lost their old sacred fire, their movements became sluggish, and they were temporarily defeated. The elf scouts found out that they had already exited the Shadow Forest and were waiting for the bees to rush outside. The war is far from over, Ant-Man is about to join the war, and reinforcements from the biological remnants will also rush to the battlefield. We also need you to go to the west and north of the Shadow Forest to ask for help from the birdmen and bearmen respectively. 】

[I have three choices:

One: Go to the west and north to ask for help from the birdmen and bearmen and persuade them to join the war.

Two: Stay where you are, or participate in a brutal war.

Three: Return to the city-state and report everything that happened here.

Reward: None. 】

Zhao Chuanxin was in disbelief.

In the past, more or less, there was always some sweetness.

There are no rewards this time.

Of the three options, returning to the city-state is undoubtedly the easiest.

But experience tells Zhao Chuanxin that what seems to be the best option is often the most deceptive.

So, he writes:

[I choose the first one. 】

[The leader of the forest elves sincerely expresses his gratitude: Fearless Pioneer, you will always be a friend of the forest elves. I will give you a gift as a thank you, but this gift can only be honored after the war is over. 】

Zhao Chuanxin wanted to ask what it was, but he still held back.

This kind of large-scale war will last for a long time, and if the temptation is too great, he will be itchy.

[I wanted to take my brother and sister with me, but the mourning spirit said to me: I can only take one person with me. If there are many people, I have to walk. 】

[I weighed it repeatedly and decided to go on the road alone. 】

[Arranged for the brother and sister to stay in the land of the forest elves, while the mourning spirit and I embarked on a journey. 】

It was time to recover his physical strength again, and Zhao Chuanxin closed the "Old God Code".

…

Sheng Xuanhuai Mansion.

Sheng Xuanhuai talked with Hu Gentang, but Hu Li came to the inner room to drink tea and chat with Sheng Enyi.

Both families are engaged in business, so they have some common topics, but they only touch on it briefly and do not discuss it in depth, because doing business is a bit boring for their age.

So the conversation was lukewarm.

until……

Sheng Enyi's eyes lit up and he said, "I met a mage when I was sailing on the Yangtze River. Don't you dare think, that mage is really proficient in the legendary water escape technique!"

This kind of knowledge must be shown off.

Upon hearing this, Hu Li slapped his thigh: "Fourth Young Master, to be honest, I also have a mage in my family who is also proficient in water escape and even took me to swim in the Yangtze River..."

The two of them chatted for a long time with their eyes shining, and then they came to a conclusion: I'm sorry, aren't these the same person?

Sheng Enyi asked: "What is the name of the mage in your family?"

"Cheng Kun!"

"..."

They are not very interested in their family's career.

But the mysterious Master Cheng Kun made their conversation lively.

Sheng Enyi said with envy: "He actually lives in your Hu family's house?"

Hu Li lost the restraint caused by the gap in status. Seeing Sheng Enyi's great interest, Hu Li felt moved in his heart: "Fourth Young Master, we are friends now, right?"

"nature!"

"Fourth Young Master, I dare to invite you to come and have a talk at my house!"

Sheng Enyi's eyes lit up at first, and then he pretended to be reserved and said, "I can see that my father was very pleased with Uncle Hu Shi's offer of help in times of need. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed, and my father is busy with official duties and has no time, so I should share my father's worries and go to your mansion. I’m here to pay you a visit, and I hope my dear brother won’t blame me for disturbing you…”

Hu Li shook his head: "What are you talking about, Fourth Young Master? If you can come, this humble abode will be full of glory..."

…

Zhao Chuanxin still wanted to take a nap in the afternoon.

Maybe I was running around so hard during this period that I couldn't sleep.

After tossing and turning for a moment, he got up and went out.

Benjamin Goldberg and Zhao Yixian were not in the house and were nowhere to be found.

Zhao Chuanxin came to the gate, handed the concierge a cigarette, and squatted at the door to watch passers-by.

There was a vendor opposite the door who seemed to be selling honey.

Before Zhao Chuanxin had finished smoking, he saw two rickshaws slowly approaching and stopped outside the Hu family's residence.

"I've met Master Cheng Kun!" Sheng Enyi jumped out of the car happily and shouted to Zhao Chuanxin.

The other person is Hu Li.

Zhao Chuanxin put out the cigarette butt on the ground: "It turns out it's you, a little bastard."

Sheng Enyi was not angry even if he was scolded.

Because he learned from Hu Li that Zhao Chuanxin treated everyone equally and was not polite to anyone.

In romance novels, the gods and Buddhas are all very similar to moral gentlemen. In fact, the people who wrote the books are all Confucian scholars, so they are all the same.

But in the eyes of the two of them, the real Taoist master should be Master Cheng Kun who is so informal and plays with the world.

At this time, Hu Li glanced at the honey vendor opposite and said in surprise: "The man selling honey is really diligent. He was at Sheng Zuotang Mansion in the morning and came to Biyunli again in the afternoon."

Zhao Chuanxin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and walked happily towards the honey seller.

The honey vendor hurriedly asked: "Master, do you want to buy honey? This is well-preserved wattle nectar, very fragrant."

Zhao Chuanxin smacked his tongue and looked into the burden. There were small jars inside.

He smiled: "Are you selling pineapples? I want to buy a pineapple."

Hu Li and Sheng Enyi, who were following behind Zhao Chuanxin, were shocked. What medicine was Master Cheng Kun selling in this gourd?

The vendor looked at Zhao Chuanxin in confusion: "Master, I don't sell pineapples, I sell vitex nectar."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Okay, then bring me a pineapple."

The vendor frowned: "Could the Master be here to entertain me? Again, I don't sell pineapples."

"Okay, bring me a pineapple."

Sheng Enyi and Hu Li scratched their heads in embarrassment.

The vendor was angry: "You monk, if you dare to say pineapple again, I will knock out your teeth with a hammer!"

Zhao Chuanxin looked frightened. He took a step back and clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, please don't be angry. Please tell me, are you selling hammers?"

"..." the hawker said angrily: "No, I don't have a hammer here."

When Zhao Chuanxin heard this, he immediately smiled: "Then, please bring me a pineapple."

Hu Li and Sheng Enyi couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.

The hawker was so angry that he raised his calloused fist and said, "Monk, I'm looking for a fight!"

As he spoke, he jumped up.

You can't do it without jumping, otherwise you won't be able to reach Zhao Chuanxin...

Zhao Chuanxin made an understatement, crossed his arms, and suddenly shot out his fist.

He was already tall and had long arms, and with the help of the Furious Armor, he struck first and struck the hawker in the face with the back of his fist.

Boom...

The hawker threw his head back and fell, feeling dizzy.

This is still the result of withdrawing strength.

Zhao Chuanxin stepped forward, grabbed the vendor's hands, and cut them on top of his head.

The hawker struggled, feeling as if his hands were welded to the ground, motionless.

But I heard the monk shouting: "You two, take off his shoes quickly, the poor monk can't hold him down anymore, this man is so strong."

Hawker: "..."

Who is more powerful?

Hu Li scratched his head: "Master Cheng Kun, this person's shoes are so dirty, why do you need to take them off?"

"Don't talk nonsense. This poor monk is almost exhausted. Take it off quickly."

Hu Li glanced at Sheng Enyi, and Sheng Enyi quickly turned away: Don't ask me for this kind of thing.

Hu Li could only pinch his nose and take off the vendor's shoes.

"The socks are off too."

Hu Li's scalp was numb and he felt sick, but he still obeyed the instructions.

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at the peddler's feet, relaxed his hand happily, stood up and said: "Sin, sin, sin. This benefactor is so violent, let me ask a poor monk to make a divination for you... Uh... Donor , you will definitely suffer a bloody disaster in the near future."

The vendor hurriedly put on his socks and shoes to avoid freezing his feet.

He thought he could not defeat this monk, so he angrily picked up the burden, glared at Zhao Chuanxin and turned around to leave.

Hu Li stood beside him, looking at his hands with disgust, his brows furrowed into a "Chuan".

Even though she was a concubine, she had lived in fine clothes since she was a child. Where had she ever come across such dirty things?

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and said, "I can't keep this hand anymore. Let's chop it up!"

Hu Ligang hurriedly put his hands away: "No, just wash them off if they get dirty..."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Sheng Enyi and said, "You are the same. When I'm a guest at someone's house, you don't even bother to bring two pounds of oranges. It's really rude. I'll fine you ten yuan so that you can remember a little longer. Why don't you bring more quickly?" When?"

Sheng Enyi smiled bitterly and took out ten yuan and handed it over. Zhao Chuanxin threw it into his wide sleeve robe. Didn't he get back the money he spent on the knife today?

After Sheng Enyi paid the "fine", he said nonchalantly: "Master Cheng Kun, I have many things to ask you..."

Zhao Chuanxin pushed the door open: "Just in time, I also have something to ask you!"

How far has your father's despicable deeds with the Japanese gone? You kid, don't be ignorant of praise. It's best to tell the truth...

Some book friends are fussing about it. They have already written 2 million words. Why don’t they know who Captain Zhao is?

He went all the way to Hankou, not just to blackmail someone for a meal. Can a small favor with ulterior motives win over the hard-hearted Captain Zhao? Let alone two meals, even if Hu Gentang sincerely kowtows to him, Captain Zhao will lose if he looks at him squarely. The four words "bullying the superior and flattering the inferior" emphasized throughout the article are not just words.

The word "mage" in the title of the book does not refer to the equipment or spells, but to Captain Zhao's magical temper and character. Only in this way can one be worthy of the word "Master".

Captain Zhao has never been the kind of person who is bound by worldly family, love, and friendship, and etiquette, justice, integrity, and shame are even more nonsense.

Captain Zhao is the opposite of the author, a low-level ant, a cannon fodder, and a scrap of society. He is never cowardly, never soft, and never considers human feelings. He goes his own way and will never be coerced. Who cares about the chaos?

Finally, I have to criticize Master Yun Mao for a few words. He said that Bai Geng must be dead. He is really cold-blooded and inhumane. He regards human life as nothing... The author is such a fragile person. Readers who still have some conscience will not bear to read it. He had been working hard for a long time and was on the verge of sudden death!

It's good for you, that's it, right... ok, ok, just wait...
