Lin Ke worked hard all afternoon to clean up the weeds in the yard, then went to the well deep in the street to get some water, and wiped away the dust and cobwebs in the house.
Qi Shangshu left after explaining the test questions.
However, when he left, he took advantage of Lin Ke's chatter and came back to give Lin Ke a kick before he patted his butt and left in a relaxed manner.
And this time he told Lin Ke that his hidden identity here was that of a porter, that is, the kind who helps carry bags, load and unload trucks everywhere.
Low profile - a wandering husband!
It's just that because of his status as a wandering husband, he is always away from home, so Qi Shangshu has an excuse for not living here at all times.
After cleaning the yard, Lin Ke sat on a stool at the door and started thinking.
It was said to be a stool, but it was actually a tree cut down by Lin Ke when he was cleaning the yard, and the wooden stake was flattened up and down to serve as a simple stool.
Sitting on the wooden pile, Lin Ke's mind was wandering.
The first thing is livelihood!
He's going to start thinking about how to fill his belly!
Don't learn skills yet, starve yourself to death in this unknown courtyard first.
When he walked into the alley at noon, he saw many shops there, such as Goulan and restaurants.
Thinking of this, Lin Ke felt confident.
Go out and have a look.
He stood up and walked out of the courtyard, but as soon as he stepped outside the courtyard door, there was a crisp sound in his mind.
"Ding."
"Chaoyang Street, crouching tiger, hidden dragon, a gentleman's destiny starts from the beginning, please make your choice."
【Choice 1】
He took the rope from Li Chungang's hand at the well, held it for three seconds, and then explained to Li Chungang's grandparents that he was looking for a living.
Obtain: The great scholar Li Chungang pays attention and can become a disciple in the future.
She: It’s two o’clock every day for a year.
【Choice 2】
I went to the Fairyland Painting Studio to view Wang Lin's paintings and directly praised her paintings as "fairyland paintings".
Obtain: I have a good impression of the painter Wang Lin, and I can learn painting from him.
House: No application for two hours every day for half a year.
【Choice 3】
Go to Tongfu Restaurant and talk to the shopkeeper, who explains that he is looking for a living.
Obtain: Apprentice to the shopkeeper and gain business support.
She: Youxu two o'clock every day for half a year.
…
coming!
New choice!
Lin Ke narrowed his eyes and his mind started working quickly.
Apart from the so-called trade-offs, what is the most effective and powerful thing about this gentleman’s choice system?
Investigate!
Just like the "attention of unknown existence" before, if it weren't for this system prompt, Lin Ke would probably just chop firewood and know nothing else.
And now too!
Confucianism, painters, businessmen... Lin Ke thought carefully in his mind.
Seeing the trade-offs among these three choices, he guessed that these people were not weak.
Moreover, the system also let him know the areas in which these people are most proficient and strongest.
I just don’t know if these three people are the strongest in Chaoyang Street?
Is he as good as old man Qi?
It's useless to think too much... He shook his head, he would know later anyway.
He looked at the three choices and thought carefully.
seem……
They are also three non-conflicting choices!
As he thought about it, he showed a confident smile.
The light in his eyes kept flickering.
In other words... he can take all the trade-offs!
After thinking about it, Lin Ke looked around.
Although this alley is short, it is extremely lively, with all kinds of shouts coming and going.
“Pork pork, the freshest pork!”
"The little girl is the most talented woman in the Wei Dynasty. The latest painting is released. Come and watch it quickly! The kind with a plot!"
"Hey, officer, come and play~"
Various sounds echoed each other, and those who didn't know it probably thought this was some kind of central commercial street in Beijing!
The result was just a stinky alley filled with muddy black mud.
Apart from the lowly ones, Lin Ke couldn't think of anyone else who would come to wander in such a slum-like alley.
However, in addition to observing the situation, Lin Ke was also searching for a target.
Li Chungang Tofu Shop!
Wonderland Painting Workshop!
Tongfu Restaurant!
Lin Ke quickly searched these places and then targeted one of them.
On the left side of the courtyard gate, there is an old man with white hair, bare upper body, pulling the rope by the well with some difficulty.
The old man has a strong body, and his back muscles undulate violently every time he exerts force.
Li Chungang!
It's him!
Lin Ke's eyes lit up.
The old man was the only one fetching water by the well, and there was no one else.
He took a deep breath and walked towards Li Chungang who was fetching water.
"Old man, let me help you." Lin Ke approached and looked at the tight rope and said softly.
He behaves like a passionate young man who respects the elderly and loves the young.
"Huh? Hahaha, no need, the old man is fine." Li Chungang glanced at Lin Ke, turned back and continued to use his arms to pull the tight rope extending into the well.
"Old man, don't show your waist." Lin Ke smiled and did not stop his work because of Li Chunggang's refusal. He answered and reached out to take the rope: "It's better for me to help you, old man."
"Haha!" The old man grinned, handed the rope in his hand to Lin Ke, turned to look at Lin Ke and said with a smile: "Okay, young man."
"It's okay, the boy has plenty of strength."
Lin Ke spoke, took the rope, and looked into the well, which was completely dark.
He first took the loose end of the rope and wrapped it around his hand. When the old man let go of the rope, he took it completely.
Suddenly, Lin Ke felt a huge pulling force coming from the rope, and he rushed towards the wellhead.
But in an instant, someone tapped his shoulder, and he felt that he had stopped again.
Turning around to look, it turned out that Li Chungang had helped him.
Looking at Li Chungang's smile, although it seemed a bit like watching a show, Lin Ke didn't care, and his eyes were full of energy!
This is indeed a master!
Lin Ke looked back at the rope stretched toward the wellhead.
He knew that the system said he only needed to hold on for three seconds, so his arms and waist began to exert force, trying to endure it.
And began to count silently in his heart: 1, 2...
Suddenly, Lin Ke, who had just given up exerting force, felt as if his waist was hit by a heavy object, and he fell sideways.
Lin Ke was knocked to the side, but fortunately it was already three seconds!
The first thing he did when he fell was to look back at Li Chungang, only to find a man with a gray face, a sweat towel tied on his head, and clothed clothes standing next to the old man.
Qi Shangshu!
Judging from the face, this is Qi Shangshu!
Traveling husband!
Li Chungang waved his hand gently, and the rope head that had been brought into the well reappeared in Li Chungang's hand.
Lin Ke felt a burst of pain in his hands at this time. It turned out that it was not very painful when the rope was tightened, but the pain in his hands immediately came after loosening the rope. Now his arms began to tremble slightly in pain.
Li Chungang looked back at Lin Ke's trembling arms, patted Lin Ke's shoulder, laughed, shook his head and continued to look into the well.
Qi Shangshu spoke with a speechless tone: "You brat, if you don't want your arm anymore, just say so and I will remove it for you."
"Haha, it's a good thing that young people are hardworking and willing to help others!" Li Chungang, who was next to him, smiled and agreed with Qi Shangshu.
Lin Ke stood up and rubbed his hands together, looked at Li Chungang and said, "Old man, you are busy first, I have something else to do."
Then he looked at Qi Shangshu and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Qi, aren't you leaving?"
If I hadn't persisted for three seconds just now, according to the system, wouldn't I have been able to become my master?
Qi Shangshu's eyes widened and he shouted loudly: "If I don't come back, your arm will be dragged into the well. What Li Chungang drew just now is not ordinary water!"
Lin Ke was a little helpless. He really didn't expect Qi Shangshu to leave and come back.
He didn't expect that the first choice would be so dangerous.
Lin Ke also felt a sense of vigilance in his heart, but said helplessly: "I know, isn't this just trying to help the old man!"
Qi Shangshu seemed to be even more angry when he heard this: "Please help yourself! Hey!"
As he spoke, he muttered a few words speechlessly:
"Forget it, I don't know how you did it. You accidentally encountered this bloody massacre. It's really..."
