24: Chapter 24 Occupations - Jailer
"Ugh." Chen Yichuan's mouth twitched, and a flick to the forehead landed on his face.
"Going on three or four blind dates a day, and you're still annoyed?"
What kind of crazy luck did this kid have in his past life? He's blessed and doesn't even know it.
Having a Village Chief for a father really is great; he can pick a wife whenever he wants.
Seeing Tie Niu's look of disdain and utter despair,
Chen Yichuan couldn't help but sternly rebuke him: "You're so young and you're blessed but don't know it. Martial arts? Why bother training? Of course, getting a wife is more important."
"Don't say anything else. Tie Niu, come with me to find Uncle Zhao."
Upon hearing this, Tie Niu took half a step back, rubbing his round eyes in disbelief.
Then, without hesitation, he turned and ran.
This left Chen Yichuan stunned in place.
"This kid... he really is blessed and doesn't know it." Shaking his head, he continued practicing the Grass-Gliding Technique.
There's nothing to say about Lightfoot Skill — just grind.
At Village Chief Zhao Taohua's place.
"Hmm? Yichuan. Has your identity not been officially registered at the government office yet?"
Village Chief Zhao Taohua glanced at the identity wooden tablet handed over and paused slightly.
"Uncle Zhao, I haven't had time to go to the government office yet. I heard from Head Escort Qian that... the Village Chief also has a Jiuzhou Nation village-level seal and can also perform the registration."
"Would it be too much trouble?" Chen Yichuan rubbed his hands together, looking embarrassed.
"Hey, what trouble? It's just a matter of a seal."
While speaking, Village Chief Zhao Taohua turned around and rummaged through his drawer.
Before long, the Taoyuan Village seal appeared in his hand.
Thud. In less than a second, the seal was stamped down, and the registration was complete.
"If it were someone else registering a life profession, I would still check it... but you're different. You're the nephew of the second brother, so I have to give this face to him."
"Thanks, Uncle Zhao!" Chen Yichuan excitedly cupped his hands in a salute.
Village Chief Zhao Taohua waved his hand dismissively: "Go on. Remember to come back at noon... we'll go find Yushan together."
Nodding, Chen Yichuan turned and left.
"Ding." "System Notification: Player detected completing identity registration. Life Profession — Jailer. Reward: 2 points of Strength."
Just after stepping out of the Village Chief's house, the system notification followed.
"2 points of Strength, this really is a surprise."
Panel: [Chen Yichuan: Male; Life Profession: Jailer; Talent: Attribute Involution (Unique); Realm: Quasi-Martial Artist; Strength: 20+2 (Attack 9-9); Agility: 18 (Speed 17); Stamina: 16 (HP 150/160; Defense 4); Spirit: 16 (Not Activated); Martial Arts: Basic Fist Technique (Small Achievement 123/300); Basic Saber Technique (Proficient 214/500); First-grade Auxiliary Martial Art "Grass-Gliding Technique" (Small Achievement 127/300); Free Attribute Points: 2... (Collapsed)]
Looking at the 22 points of Strength on the panel, Chen Yichuan's mouth curled upward.
"Is it already 22 points of Strength? Just 2 more points of Strength and I can trigger Attribute Involution again."
At this moment, Chen Yichuan was even more high-spirited. He was looking forward to it intensely.
Blacksmith Shop.
"Chen Yichuan, take this ghost-head blade." Not long after arriving at the Blacksmith Shop, Zhang Fan tossed the ghost-head blade to him.
Chen Yichuan caught it instinctively and took a look — [ghost-head blade: Durability 100/100 (White), Attack +5]
"Hmm? Wasn't it 3 points of Attack? How did it become 5 points!!"
Chen Yichuan looked up at Zhang Fan with a bit of confusion.
"Hehe, no need to thank me. When I reforged it, I put in a piece of Hundred-Refined Steel, which added 2 points of Attack." Zhang Fan smiled and said quite indifferently.
Hundred-Refined Steel. Just hearing the name, Chen Yichuan knew this thing was — expensive.
"It didn't cost money, right?" Zhang Fan: "..." He fell silent.
He had originally thought that Chen Yichuan would thank him a little or say a few perfunctory words. He didn't expect Chen Yichuan to be so blunt.
Zhang Fan once suspected — could Chen Yichuan be a food delivery driver in the real world?
But he quickly threw this thought to the back of his mind. There was no reason. The first closed beta quota for "Mystic Realm" was only 50,000 for the Xia Nation; how could a food delivery driver afford it?
"No need, we're even now." After saying that, Zhang Fan didn't even lift his head. Like the surrounding blacksmiths, he was shirtless and swung his hammer fiercely. "80, 80, 80."
Chen Yichuan didn't delay either. He took the ghost-head blade and turned to leave. He and Zhang Fan weren't very close. Strictly speaking, it was just a transaction between them.
Time flew by. After lunch, Chen Yichuan finally met the captain of the Taoyuan Village militia, the third male protagonist of the 'Taoyuan Three Brotherhood' — Tian Yushan.
The place they met wasn't at the dinner table, but at the Taoyuan Village militia training grounds. It was very spacious here.
"Brother Hu, I missed you to death, you're finally back. This must be Yichuan, right? I am Tian Yushan. According to seniority, you kid should call me Uncle Yushan."
After the three brothers reminisced, Instructor Huang Hu stated their purpose. Only then did everyone's gaze shift from Instructor Huang Hu to Chen Yichuan.
Tian Yushan was a standard mountain man, dark-skinned all over, with brawny muscles. He carried a bow, arrows, and a quiver at all times, looking every bit like a hunter.
"Uncle Yushan, I'll be troubling you in the coming days." "Whether it's day or night, if any demonic beasts appear around the village... you must tell me." Chen Yichuan cupped his hands in a salute and said sincerely.
Thud. A large, dark hand rested on Chen Yichuan's shoulder: "Not bad, very good. You are worthy of being the second brother's nephew." "Daring to think and daring to fight is what makes a good man."
Tian Yushan's eyes shone with light, full of admiration for Chen Yichuan. "Seeing that your arm strength is good, are you interested in learning archery from your uncle? Broken Feather Archery should suit you."
Tian Yushan looked at him for a long time, pondered for a moment, and then spoke with a look of satisfaction. Just then, 'Ding'. "System Notification: Taoyuan Village Militia Captain Tian Yushan is teaching you 'Broken Feather Archery' (First-grade Martial Art). Learning conditions — 20 points of Strength, 15 points of Agility. Do you wish to learn?"
Boom. Hearing the system notification, Chen Yichuan's brain instantly exploded. A pie falling from the sky.
"Whoa, Old Third, you're something else, bringing out your trump card. Yichuan, what are you standing there for... hurry up and agree." Instructor Huang Hu's face was full of disbelief, then he urged Chen Yichuan to agree quickly. He even pushed him.
"Uncle Yushan, this kid won't decline then." Cupping his hands, Chen Yichuan bowed very respectfully. His heart was filled with wild joy. This Uncle Yushan in front of him didn't talk much but was very generous. A First-grade Martial Art, passed on without a second word. Where can you find such a good person?
"Haha, good, good, good. Yichuan's bone structure is really too good. Many people in the village don't meet the strength requirements. Since you are Instructor Huang Hu's nephew, you are also my, Tian Yushan's, nephew." "If I don't teach you, who do I teach?" Tian Yushan laughed heartily and gladly accepted this salute.
At this moment, on the training grounds, several players looked at Chen Yichuan with envy and jealousy. They naturally knew Chen Yichuan's player status. This scene right now made them more and more angry the more they thought about it.
