As the heat of the steam increased, the air pressure it brought became stronger. At this moment, Zhong Chao could feel that the power of his finger snapping skill combined with the steam had more than tripled.
"Now, my steam shot is as powerful as a sniper rifle!"
"There is also jet acceleration. No need to cooperate with other techniques, just high-heat steam can increase my speed. I can even double jump in the air."
In addition to the increased attack power, another benefit of the stronger steam pressure is that the high-heat steam once again puts pressure on Zhong Chao's internal organs.
"Eternal God Emperor"
This was originally a bad thing, making it impossible for Zhong Chao to activate the turbine heating technique for a long time - but who allowed him to have a pure Yang golden bell.
"Under pressure, you can increase your proficiency. I, the Pure Yang Golden Bell, can hang up again."
Various wonderful features have allowed the backward version of the steam turbine king to return and once again keep up with Zhong Chao's progress.
At the same time, high-heat steam has also driven the rapid growth of steam turbine proficiency.
"Run it once and your proficiency will increase by 33, which is so high!"
"My current breathing time is 30 minutes. Although turbine heating requires practice and rest, I can practice it up to 16 times a day, which is 528 points of proficiency."
"48,000 divided by 528...a hundred days, in about a hundred days, you can advance to the master level with this technique!"
Thinking of this, Zhong Chao looked forward to it:
"This should be my first advanced master's technique."
"Moreover, steam turbine heating will not only make the steam turbine grow, but also supercharge the internal organs, allowing the Pure Yang Golden Bell to progress accordingly, hiss... practice, practice!"
The expectation of being a master made Zhong Chao just want to stay at home and practice hard.
Unfortunately, this idea did not come true.
After more than a month of practice, there are only 2 or 3 days left before the Mingce Army's assessment. A large number of people who are qualified for the assessment have gathered in Jujiang City.
These people are all children of wealthy families, and they are all young geniuses.
And people are not arrogant in vain. This group of people gathered together, making Jujiang City extremely lively in recent times.
Banquets, poetry venues, restaurants, flower boats...the entertainment venues in Jujiang City are full of them. At the same time, either for fame or for women, this group of energetic young people will fight and compete every day.
What left Zhong Chao speechless was that entertainment was scarce in ancient society, which caused the commotion of this group of people to spread among ordinary people, and gave rise to the names of Four Beauties, Seven Swords, and Three Young Heroes in Jujiang City.
"I always feel like there are people behind these names...forget it, it has nothing to do with me."
With such communication, Zhong Chao thought that he had nothing to do with it.
Unexpectedly, Xi Kang came over and wanted him to participate in a banquet held at Xi's restaurant.
"What should I do? I'm not interested..."
Seeing Zhong Chao shaking his head, Xi Kang quickly said:
"Brother Zhong, don't be too busy refusing. You want to take part in the Mingce Army assessment, right?"
"What does this have to do with the party?"
"The relationship is big. Ming Cejun is not alone. You must have a good relationship with your colleagues, especially with your superiors..."
From Xi Kang's explanation, Zhong Chao learned that Ming Cejun's career had a total of four levels according to high and low levels.
The strongest one is the army commander, who has an overview of everything and is the anchor of the army.
The army commander has three deputy army commanders, who are considered top-level figures.
The second level is hundreds of households. There are seven hundred households in Jujiang City. According to regulations, under each hundred households, there are one hundred people in charge.
The third level is the flag leader (captain), and each flag leader leads about ten people.
Finally, there is Xiaoqi, who is also the lowest level of the Mingce Army, the executive.
However, the Ming Ce Army has a high position, and Xiao Qi can be regarded as a minor official when he performs tasks outside and allows the police and soldiers to cooperate.
Xi Kang, on the other hand, regarded Zhong Chao as Xiao Qi by default and started making suggestions for him.
"Our Army Commander, Mr. Ji, is intolerant of vulgar things. Although he made it clear that if you want to join the Mingce Army and obtain a position, you must first pass the assessment. In addition, except for the Army Commander and Deputy Army Commander, all positions are subject to assessment.
It will be determined by grades. But the position Mr. Ji mentioned is a full-time position."
"In addition to the main positions, there are also deputy flag positions. The military commander has not designated this aspect. Whoever has a good relationship with the flag commander can get the deputy position."
"At the same time, Mr. Ji did not specify which team Xiaoqi will join, but let those who pass the test choose by themselves."
"If you want to live a good life in the Mingce Army, you must find a flag commander and establish a good relationship with him. The banquet is a place for you to get to know those flag commanders."
This statement makes sense, and it is indeed necessary to understand the flag leader in advance.
Just when Zhong Chao was struggling, Xi Kang's next words made him determined to attend the banquet.
"Even if it's just for practice, I suggest you come here. In order to entertain these geniuses, my father spent a lot of effort this time. He not only found a red-sleeved oiran to accompany him, but also spent a lot of effort to prepare a table.
Dragon Palace Banquet.”
Speaking of this, Xi Kang himself swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"There are countless delicacies at the Dragon Palace Banquet. A big meal is enough to save you several days of practice time."
These words finally aroused Zhong Chao's interest.
"Are the meals free? Are there any soulful dishes?"
"The Xi family won't let you spend money on a treat."
After answering Zhong Chao's first question, Xi Kang hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"There are also dishes that nourish the soul. However, Brother Zhong, I need to say in advance that not everyone can eat these precious dishes. At the banquet, my father will hold some small tests. Only those who pass the test can taste them.
To rare delicacies.”
Hearing this, Zhong Chao did not feel disgusted, but nodded:
"This is what it should be. I will go to this banquet."
"Then I will wait for Brother Zhong at the restaurant."
…
Farewell to Xi Kang and watching his leaving figure, Zhong Chao sighed.
"The Xi family made a good plan."
This time, the Xi family held the Dragon Palace Banquet for free. It seemed that there was no profit and even a loss, but it turned out to be a good relationship with all the talented people who participated.
And holding a small test in the middle will not be annoying.
Those who can pass will be rewarded with rare delicacies and will be sought after by everyone. This will make them feel happy and have a better impression of Xi's Restaurant.
From now on, if these people want to hold a banquet, there is a high probability that Xi's Restaurant will be their first choice.
What fails is that one's own strength is insufficient and it is difficult to resent Xi's Restaurant.
But the Xi family can use this to distinguish the pros and cons and make more precise investments.
"The means are good and they are willing to spend money. It is not unreasonable for Xi's Restaurant to become more and more popular."
"However, restaurant management has nothing to do with me... What I need to consider is how to obtain the qualifications to enter the upper class!"
Zhong Chao really needs those delicacies and delicacies, especially those that contain soul.
Becoming an official martial artist is not the end of the martial arts journey, but the beginning.
Zhong Chao had no intention of stopping, but if he wanted to climb up after the blood exchange, he needed two steps.
