The dwarf jumped into the air. This was the last hammer the dwarf used. The dwarf hit the ground with his hammer. The smoke and dust caused a big pit to appear on the ground.
Zhang Ran stood up. It was actually the dwarf who used the hammering intention of the meteor hammer method with this last hammer. Even if the hammering intention had just started, it was still very strong. Zhang Ran estimated that the dwarf wanted to use the hammering intention of the meteor hammer method. It doesn't take long to practice to perfection, it can only be completed in two months at most.
Zhang Ran called the dwarf back, and then took the meteor hammer method and looked at it for himself. He could really use this hammer method. This meteor hammer method can be used with a single hammer or a two-handed hammer, and there is no restriction on weapons.
Then Zhang Ran learned the meteor hammer method. Zhang Ran also learned the meteor hammer method quickly and reached its peak. Then looking at the imagery, it would take Zhang Ran a few days to understand it and three to five months to achieve perfection. , Zhang Ran started to practice the meteor hammer technique in the following days, and fully understood the hammering meaning of the meteor hammer technique as soon as possible.
On the next day, Gongsun Yu sent five hundred taels, and according to Zhang Ran, the gift was silver, a whole box, and Zhang Ran recharged it all into the wealth on the World of Warcraft interface.
In order to thank Zhang Ran for saving him, Gongsun Yu also invited Zhang Ran to a restaurant for a meal. He had a happy meal. Gongsun Yu said that he would return to Jiangnan Mansion tomorrow, and Zhang Ran would go to Jiangnan Mansion from now on. Looking for him, Zhang Ran answered.
The reason why Gongsun Yu returned to Jiangnan Mansion so quickly was mainly because the psychological shadow brought on him by the haunted house was too great, so Gongsun Yu decided to work hard, ignore the tide of Qiantang, and go directly back to practice martial arts.
Zhang Ran returned home. Now that he had money, Zhang Ran planned to buy some World of Warcraft skills. After the experience in the haunted house, Zhang Ran felt that his means were too few and wanted to buy some World of Warcraft skills to add some means.
As for how much money he has, he spends it. There is no need to keep money when he first arrived in Qiantang County. After all, there is money in the billiard hall, and Zhang Ran is not short of money to spend.
Zhang Ran opened the World of Warcraft interface and opened the skill mall to look at it.
I chose seven skills and spent a total of 510 taels of silver to buy them. I spent all the 500 taels of silver I got from Gongsun Yu and spent an additional 10 taels.
The seven skills are shock attack, ice crushing, blade quick attack, mongoose bite, summon fear hound, survival instinct, and purity.
Then Zhang Ran walked to the yard and tried out the power of these skills one by one.
After trying it out, Zhang Ran had an understanding of the seven skills.
Among them, summoning fear hounds is the most powerful and the most expensive. It costs three hundred taels of silver to summon two fear hounds to attack.
The fear hound is as big as an adult lion, its whole body is black, its eyes are blood red, and it emits a flash of red light. It has the power of fear on its body. As long as it is attacked, it will make people fearful and make people feel intimidated. Died in fear after being attacked by fear hounds.
Mongoose Bite costs one hundred taels of silver. As long as an attack is made, a phantom of a mongoose will appear and bite the enemy.
The concussion attack cost twenty taels of silver. When Zhang Ran used weapons or attacked with bare hands, it would vibrate and emit stronger power. Zhang Ran attacked an inch-thick iron plate with his bare hands and punched a hole in it. , even if Zhang Ran used the tenacity skill, the iron handle could be dented at most, but could not be penetrated. However, with the help of the shock attack, it was able to penetrate.
Breaking Ice cost fifty taels of silver. It is a magician's skill. As long as you use it, countless broken ice will fly out and freeze the enemy. It cannot freeze completely, but only a part of it. However, it is a group attack. Until now, Zhang However, not yet, it is very practical for Zhang Ran.
Blade Quick Attack is the skill of the dagger. It costs thirty taels of silver. Using the Blade Quick Attack with a dagger will launch a very fast attack. It can be used as Zhang Ran's trump card. When encountering danger, he can defeat the enemy with one move.
The last Survival Instinct and Purity Technique cost five taels of silver each. They were also the last two Warcraft skills that cost five taels of silver. Zhang Ran bought them when he saw the price was so low.
Survival instinct is a passive skill that allows Zhang Ran to survive in harsh environments, such as deserts, virgin forests, etc., so as long as other people encounter harsh environments, others will die, but Zhang Ran may survive .
As for the Purity Technique, Zhang Ran has used it, but Zhang Ran hasn't figured out its function yet, so he can only figure it out slowly in the future.

Zhang Ran saw the level on the World of Warcraft panel. It turned out that after passing through the haunted house, he had already reached level 11, which meant he had reached the level of a warrior.
Now that Zhang Ran has reached the blood energy realm, and the strongest warrior in Qiantang County is at this level, Zhang Ran has the intention to leave Qiantang County, but now he only has this intention. If he wants to really leave, he still needs to prepare.
Four months later.
Zhang Ran came to the county government office wearing a scholar's uniform and holding a food box in his hand.
Today is the day when children gather for exams, which is held in the county government office.
After receiving the notice from He Lun yesterday, Zhang Ran read a book all night and came to take the children's exam today.
In the past few months, Zhang Ran occasionally went to Juxian Academy to attend classes, but he went very rarely, but Zhang Ran also had a rough idea of what Confucian scholars in the Ming Dynasty were like.
Since Wang Yangming became a saint decades ago, Confucianism and Taoism have flourished, and the scientific examination has been different from before. In the past, the scientific examination was about essays, poems, and articles, but now it is different. It is about poetry. Songs, poems, chess, calligraphy and painting, and sometimes even novels.
It is more beneficial to Confucian students to examine poems, songs, chess, calligraphy and painting, so that Confucian students can become comparable to warriors. Warriors have martial arts and martial arts to defeat the enemy, while Confucian students have poems, songs, chess, calligraphy and painting to defeat the enemy. For example, a poem Singing can cause the enemy to be destroyed, another example can be saying that singing can cause the death of thousands of people, etc.
Despite this, Tong Kao has never changed. The examination of poetry and the Analects of Confucius. Some great Confucian scholars said that this is the foundation for young people and cannot be changed.
After Zhang Ran arrived, he waited outside the county government office. The time for the child exam had not yet arrived, and the county government office would not be opened until it arrived to let the candidates in.
There are thirty or forty candidates waiting outside at this time, and the number will increase even more as time goes by.
"Zhang Ran, you are also here to take the children's exam." A boy of twelve or thirteen years old, wearing Confucian clothes, and next to him was a little boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, with an indifferent face and a touch of arrogance. , behind the two of them were each followed by a little book boy, both of whom were holding food boxes in their hands.
"Do you know me?" Zhang Ran said doubtfully.
"I am Guan Zheng, Guan Qing's younger brother. You have never met me, but I heard my brother mention you often." Guan Zheng said.
"It turns out he is senior brother's younger brother, and you are also here to take the child exam." Zhang Ran said.
"Yes, we Confucian students just want to get a good reputation after studying, and Tongsheng is my first step." Guan Zheng said with a look as if he was aspiring to the heavens.
Zhang Ran and Guan Zheng started talking. Guan Zheng was very enthusiastic. Sometimes he would talk about Guan Qing, and sometimes he would talk about Zhang Ran's genius. At this point, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy next to Guan Zheng finally spoke: "Zhang Ran Although he has some talent in martial arts, I don't believe he has such talent in literature."
"Who is he?" Zhang Ran said.
"He is a good friend of mine. His name is Qi Bingzhang. He is the son of the county magistrate." Guan Zheng introduced him.
After saying this, he whispered in Zhang Ran's ear: "His sister is as beautiful as a fairy, extremely beautiful. Don't say I won't give you a chance."
Zhang Ran was speechless, you want to introduce his sister, why would you introduce him? You can contact him, but you can't contact his sister.
Zhang Ran said: "I studied literature just to cope with my father's expectations of me. My father thinks I have some talent, but I don't think I have much talent. As long as I get the reputation of a scholar, I will not take the exam."
Qi Bingzhang stopped talking. Zhang Ran already said that he had no talent, so what else did he have to say.
Then under Guan Zheng's atmosphere, he talked to Zhang Ran again. This time Qi Bingzhang stopped talking and just listened to what Guan Zheng and Zhang Ran said. Zhang Ran also learned something about Qi Bingzhang from Guan Zheng's words.
Qi Bingzhang was very talented in literary studies. He studied literature at the age of three and wrote poems at the age of five. He was known as a child prodigy since he was a child. However, Qi Bingzhang focused on learning and was relatively withdrawn. He only had one friend, Guan Zheng. This was still the Guan family. The reason why Qi Bingzhang and Guan Zheng grew up together was because they had good relations with the county magistrate's family.
While they were talking, Zhang Ran heard some words that other Confucian scholars were talking about, which caught Zhang Ran's attention. After all, there were so many Confucian scholars at the scene. Not only were they talking, but other Confucian students with similar relationships were also talking.
Zhang Ran looked over and saw that the two Confucian scholars who were talking were both more powerful than the others. They had learned martial arts before, so no wonder they were talking about such a topic.
The two of them were talking about the Sun and Moon Demon Sect. They said that Dongfang Bai, the Guangming Zuo of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, had risen up, killed the head of the teaching, Wo Xing, and took the position of leader of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect. From then on, Dongfang Bai Claiming to be undefeated in the east, the sun rises in the east, I am the only one who is undefeated. Since then, the Sun and Moon Demon Sect has changed its leader, ushering in a new era of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect.
This is what the two people said just now. Now the two people are talking about whether Ren Woxing died or not. One said that Ren Woxing was killed by Dongfang Bubai, and the other said that Ren Woxing did not die. Either he escaped or was killed by Dongfang Bubai. Imprisoned, the two could not argue and even quarreled.
Zhang Ran couldn't help but think of Meizhuang in Jiangnan Mansion. In his previous life, Zhang Ran saw Ren Woxing being imprisoned in Meizhuang by Dongfang Bubai. There was also a Meizhuang in Jiangnan Mansion. This was definitely not a coincidence.
Although the geographical locations of the two sides are somewhat different, the geographical locations of this Ming Dynasty and the previous Ming Dynasty are inherently different, and this cannot be used as a method of identification.
Dong dong dong...
The sound of beating drums sounded.
It resounded through the sky, and the wind moved in all directions.
Zhang Ran did not talk to Guan Zheng anymore, but looked ahead and saw two big drums standing in front of the county government office, and two catchers were beating the big drums hard.
The head catcher came out with all the catchers, and then separated into four catchers. Two catchers stood on both sides, one on the left, one on the right, and a lane was left in the middle. Road, the two head catchers on the other side did the same.
The Confucian scholars who participated in the children's examination consciously divided into two teams and stood in front of the arrester. Then the arrester searched them and checked the food boxes. If there were no problems, they were let in.
This is to check whether there is cheating, whether there are cheat sheets or anything like that.
Zhang Ran, Guan Zheng, and Qi Bingzhang lined up on the left, but there were still a dozen people lined up in front of them, and it would be their turn after these dozen people passed.
