Zhao Lin didn't think twice and replied: "It's about profit."
The chief clerk laughed dumbly, "You agreed happily. It's not that I want to hide your credit. This reward is divided into two types: official price and hidden reward."
Dark flower?
Zhao Lin remembered watching a Hong Kong movie in his previous life, called Dark Flower.
Seeing that he didn't understand, the chief clerk briefly explained the difference between the two.
The so-called official price means that the amount of the reward is stated on the notice. Anyone who catches and kills the thief can receive the reward.
The government then posted notices to make public the deeds of those who received the reward, which was regarded as both fame and fortune.
Hidden flowers are rewards offered by private organizations outside the government, which are not disclosed to ordinary people. The reward is higher, but the credit is no longer known.
In other words, the credit goes to the person who created the hidden flower.
Zhao Lin didn't care about reputation, but out of courtesy he still asked: "May I ask, Lord Registrar, how much does the hidden flower cost?"
The bookkeeper said: "The official price is one hundred taels, and the secret price is doubled."
"Then I'd better choose the dark flower."
People with hidden flowers either have a grudge against the bandits and want to raise the price to encourage warriors to kill bandits, or they use money to buy merit as a way to advance.
Zhao Lin doesn't care who draws the hidden flower, and chooses whichever one has more money.
Not long after, Zhao Lin walked out of the county government office with two hundred taels of silver in his arms...
The next few days passed relatively peacefully.
The bandit seemed to have suddenly disappeared without a trace.
There were only one or two suspicious people wandering in front of Liuhe Gate occasionally, but other than that, life was almost the same as before.
The construction of the house on Shuncheng Street is progressing smoothly. Zhao Lin has inspected it several times and it is estimated that it will be repaired in more than ten days.
I had a large sum of money in my hand, and I wanted to send it to my parents and brothers who were far away from home.
However, considering that they may not have settled down yet, contacting them rashly could easily bring danger, so after thinking about it over and over again, they could only wait for a safe opportunity in the future.
Looking back on his experiences over the past six months, Zhao Lin felt like he was in a dream.
From an ordinary farm boy, he became a "capable" warrior in the eyes of ordinary people.
He knew very well that his efforts were important, but the spirit beast map was the key.
Without the spirit animal map, he might still be digging in the soil for food, and his family might even be ruined.
For now, he is very satisfied with the three spirits he has absorbed. Strength, speed, and hearing are all indispensable.
Through exploration in recent days, Zhao Lin also has a new understanding of the spirit beast map.
After eating the food, vitality will soon be generated and enter the three grids of bear bear, black horned antelope and horse-headed bat.
At first he thought that the vitality in the three grids was automatically allocated by the spirit animal map, but after many experiments, he found that this was not entirely the case.
First of all, Xiong Zhen's spirit is mainly used to strengthen muscles and bones to increase strength.
The spirit of the impala is used to enhance the toughness of tendons and fascia.
Zhao Lin eats a lot of meat every day, which can supplement both aspects, but there are some differences.
For example, if you drink bone soup or eat pork ribs, the energy in the Xiong Zan grid will be abundant.
If you eat more foods such as tendons and beef tendons, the energy in the blackhorn grid will increase.
The horseshoe bat is very different from the two: eating meat has little effect. On the contrary, vegetables, dried fruits, and animal livers can produce a lot of vitality in this grid.
"Eating more foods containing vitamins and zinc is good for hearing."
Thanks to the promotion of health and wellness in his previous life, Zhao Lin had some knowledge of nutrition and roughly knew the nutrients contained in each food.
He also derived a conclusion: Eat more food and replenish your energy, but if you can accurately replenish nutrients, the efficiency will be higher.
He was in the stage of bone training. After knowing this key, he deliberately increased his intake of foods high in calcium, such as milk, ribs, lean meat, fish and shrimp.
Not many people drank milk in this era. The poor couldn't afford it, and the rich didn't like it because it was fishy.
Zhao Lin knows very well that milk is the fastest and most effective way to supplement calcium. He drinks a pound of boiled milk every morning, noon and evening, almost drinking it like water.
If you insist on doing this for many days, the effect will be remarkable.
The changes in his body became more and more obvious: his muscles were numb and itchy, his joints were sore, and he made soft sounds from time to time.
The day of breakthrough is not far away.
"Brother Zhao, are you free? Let's play a few tricks."
In the front yard of Liuhe Gate, Zhao Lin was practicing bone training with an iron sand bag. A medium-sized, mature-looking apprentice walked up to Zhao Lin and said.
This man's name is Xu Xian. He is the longest-serving apprentice in Liuhe Sect and the only one who has entered the Jinjin training period.
Originally, he had always been the best among the apprentices, but recently his limelight has been stolen by Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin had successfully trained his skin in more than four months, and he had ranked among the top three in the last two boxing competitions. Several apprentices in the bone training period were no match for him.
That's all. What made Xu Xian most angry was that the sect leader Zhu Huaishan unexpectedly accepted Zhao Lin as his disciple.
Xu Xian stayed in the power realm for many years and struggled to enter the Qi realm. When he heard the news, he felt very unhappy and could not concentrate on practicing for many days.
"It's just that I've been training skin for a few months. Whether I can break through bone training and muscle training is another question!"
Whenever he saw Zhao Lin concentrating on practicing, he would feel restless.
Today he couldn't bear it anymore and came to see Zhao Lin for a boxing match.
He made up his mind to strike harder later and make Zhao Lin look ugly so that others could know who the genius among the apprentices was.
Zhao Lin was stunned when he heard this. His joints were vibrating continuously at this time, which was consistent with the phenomenon described by Yuan Cheng before the bone training was completed. Naturally, he didn't want to stop.
“Senior Brother Xu, if it’s not until later, I feel like I’ve hit a barrier.”
After Zhao Lin finished speaking, he continued to practice.
"There's no rush, just wait."
Xu Xianpi said with a smile, and snorted in his heart: "The level, you have only been practicing skin training for two months, what kind of level can you encounter? Could it be bone training?"
Zhao Lin naturally didn't know that Senior Brother Xu had so much inner drama. He swung the iron sand bag and hit his whole body, and repeatedly shouted the six-character mantra: "Hush, heh, hu, ah, blow, hee..."
After about a stick of incense, Zhao Lin suddenly felt that his muscles were rapidly swelling and filled with blood, his joints made a faint buzzing sound, and the remaining vitality in the spirit beast picture was released like a flood.
"coming soon!"
Zhao Lin felt something in his heart and couldn't help but increase the intensity of the beating, and his breathing gradually became faster.
The sound of his joints became louder and louder. It started with a buzzing, then the sound of branches breaking, and finally it was like popping beans, crackling non-stop.
The apprentices who were practicing in the yard were alarmed. They stopped practicing and looked at Zhao Lin blankly.
One of the apprentices was stunned for a moment, turned around and ran towards the backyard.
Xu Xian's face changed color, his mouth opened wide in surprise, and he shouted in his heart: "How... is this possible!"
Zhao Lin took advantage of the rapid circulation of Qi and blood, threw away the iron sand bag, and started Liuhe Boxing.
The fists and kicks were thrown, the wind was blowing from the fists and feet, and the bones cracked.
From head to toe, one sound, two sounds, three sounds...
The sound spread throughout the body, a total of 206 times.
