Meng Xing raised his ax and brought it down with one stroke, splitting the standing wood in half cleanly.
It has been three days since he came to this world, and he has also been chopping firewood for three days. At Jianchi Peak, he was the lowest outer disciple. His daily job was to chop firewood, and he hardly stopped for a moment except for eating and sleeping.
It’s euphemistically called “tempering.”
Both palms are already thick calluses.
My predecessor had been doing this kind of work for three full years and had almost no chance of success in Jianchi Peak.
Meng Xing, who came from time-travel, also wanted to resist, but his strength was not as good as others. If he resisted even a little bit, there would be more hard work waiting for him, and he would also be beaten severely.
Meng Xing also practiced the exercises seriously, but the exercises taught to him were of the lowest level. After practicing for several years, he still failed to open his pulse, and instead was scolded as a waste.
Condensing Qi Gong, a low-level yellow-level skill, can open the pulse after ten years of practice.
Meng Xing recalled the exercises he had learned, and couldn't help but complain that it took ten years of practice to open his pulse. This was an attempt to abruptly end his own cultivation path.
The person who teaches his skills can be punished.
My predecessor has been wasted for three years, and I cannot continue to waste it, otherwise my life will be truly wasted.
"Didi!"
After chopping two hundred kilograms of firewood, a screen panel that only he could see finally appeared in front of him. There was a string of characters on it with three options written on it.
[1: Continue to chop three hundred kilograms of firewood.]
[Two: Go to the library and read for two hours.]
[Three: Go and say "I love you" loudly to Senior Sister Liu.]
[The system rewards are random. If there are no special circumstances in the future, there will be no prompts. 】
Meng Xing breathed a sigh of relief. The system finally appeared, and he no longer had to chop wood so hard.
However, the second option is "Go to the Library". With such a low status, where can I go to the Library to read books? I don't have enough authority at all.
Also, what the hell is option three? Saying "I love you" loudly to Senior Sister Liu, doesn't this mean that you are dying too slowly?
Senior Sister Liu is a talented disciple of the inner sect. Her strength is extremely terrifying. She is even expected to become the peak master's true disciple. She is also a stunning beauty. There are countless people who like her. Go and say this to her without being attracted by her.
If you are hacked, you will be hacked by others.
It seems that I can only choose the simplest one to do. Although it is tiring, it is somewhat rewarding. Meng Xing chose the first option and continued to chop wood.
He muttered silently: "Therefore, when Heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to a man, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, and starve his body."
An hour later, the three hundred kilograms of firewood were finally chopped. Meng Xing felt his hands and feet were sore and numb, and his whole body was dripping with sweat.
[The mission has been completed, random reward: Strength 1.]
Meng Xing felt that a force appeared out of thin air and poured into his body. His hands and feet, which were so numb that he didn't want to move, regained some strength.
"Not bad! Not bad! With the system, in this world where strength is valued, you can finally have a little bit of power." Meng Xing was happy in his heart.
Today's work was completed and it was getting dark. Meng Xing had a meal in the dining hall and planned to take a walk around to trigger system options.
He wandered around for a while in the places where outer disciples of Jianchi Peak could go. As the lowest outer disciple, there were not many places he was qualified to go.
At this time, I saw an outer sect female disciple waving a sword in the training field. Her sassy demeanor and slender figure attracted a group of male disciples to stop and watch. Their eyes were all shining, like hungry wolves.
Meng Xing shook his head and was speechless. These people all exuded the smell of male hormones, and even the air was dyed yellow by them.
At this time, another string of numbers appeared in front of his eyes, which made his eyes light up. The system was finally triggered again.
【One, keep walking.】
[Two, practice swordsmanship with Luo Yao and dance with beauty. 】
[Three, laugh loudly at other male disciples.]
Meng Xing decisively chose the first option. The others were just a matter of seeking death, so it was okay not to choose them.
Meng Xing continued to walk forward, no longer stopping to watch.
[The mission has been completed, random reward: Physique 1]
Meng Xing felt that there seemed to be an invisible breath that was traveling in his body for a week, and it quickly passed away. His physical condition seemed to have improved a bit, and he also felt a bit more energetic.
"Continue!" Meng Xing was in high spirits.
…
[The mission has been completed, random reward: Strength 1]
[The mission has been completed, random reward: Physique 1]
After wandering around for a while, he triggered several random rewards, all of which were very easy tasks. It seemed that the system also knew that his strength was low and gave him some rewards.
But it's a pity that the system didn't reward him with a set of exercises. It was the exercises he lacked the most.
Seeing that it was already getting late, I returned to my residence, sat cross-legged on the bed, and prepared to try the low-grade Huang-level Qi Condensation Kung Fu.
After condensing the breath and operating it according to the Qi Condensing Technique for an hour, he was unable to open up spiritual veins in his body, so Meng Xing had to give up.
This Qi Condensation Kung Fu is simply rubbish, it’s better not to practice it.
Meng Xing had no choice but to lie down and sleep.
Early the next morning, he got up energetically again and continued to chop wood in the backyard of the dining hall.
Meng Xing was surprised to find that he could swing an ax more easily, and the strength and physique rewarded by the system had greatly improved his strength.
Half an hour later, the system triggered another task:
[One, continue to chop three hundred kilograms of firewood.]
[Second, ask Zhang Santu to give him a day off.]
[Third, ask Luo Yao to take you to the Library Pavilion. 】
Zhang Santu is the general manager of the dining hall. He is responsible for the food and drink of the entire Jianchi Peak outer disciples. He is also the only inner disciple of the dining hall. He has a very high status and has the power of life and death over the entire dining hall.
Under his instruction, my predecessor was beaten several times, and the most serious one was almost to death. He was also the most hated enemy of my predecessor.
Meng Xing was helpless. It seemed that he had to choose the first one. The other tasks were all very difficult.
Just as he was about to choose the first one, he saw three women heading towards the dining hall. One of them was none other than the outer disciple Luo Yao, who was graceful and extremely beautiful.
Zhang Santu, the manager of the canteen, was standing at the door of the canteen with a big belly, watching the three women greet each other with smiles, showing their hospitality.
Although Meng Xing was standing in the backyard, the backyard was only surrounded by a fence and he could clearly see the front yard.
Soon, Zhang Santu welcomed three beautiful women into the dining hall.
"You can't live in a house by licking a dog." Meng Xing complained in his heart.
However, he hesitated whether to ask Luo Yao to take him to the library.
He is the lowest handyman disciple in Jianchi Peak. From an outsider's perspective, it would be difficult to enter the inner gate.
But Luo Yao is a genius of the outer sect disciples. It is probably very easy to enter the inner sect, so he will naturally have the arrogance of being superior to others.
"When there is pride, there is pride. Why not try?"
Thinking of this, Meng Xing put down his ax and walked into the dining hall.
