Babbitt entered the city separately from Xiang Shan. The two of them went about their activities separately, and then made an appointment to meet in a few days.
Babbitt also took out a bamboo hat-shaped solar panel and put it on his head. This is a very common tool. It is rarer in wilderness settlements with large public solar panels and copper sugar crops, but those with no stable settlements
All urban civilians, or people who need to wander in the wilderness, will prepare this gadget. Putting the solar panel on your head does not affect your movement or the work of your arms, but it can be a good source of energy.
It’s just that in this case, two people cannot sit too close to each other.
Hello to Shan Shan: "Lao Ba, how are you these days?"
"Well, it's pretty good." Babbitt nodded: "I found a martial arts school, spent a little money, and set up an assault training class."
Assault training courses, or short-term training, are also a service provided by martial arts schools.
That is, a relatively high-ranking instructor will provide a short-term, one-on-one personalized guidance to a martial artist, point out the problems in his martial arts, and check for any omissions.
This kind of service is generally aimed at those who already have a certain foundation or practical experience and don’t have time to take fixed courses.
Those who buy this kind of course are basically wanderers in the wilderness.
Maybe he is a knight or a broadcaster, or he may be a green forest who can control his own behavior a little.
Of course, asylum seekers do not need this kind of service. They have their own education system.
Hiangyang nodded: "It seems to be going well?"
“Well, I went to a martial arts gym for three days to take classes.” Babbitt said, “I feel like I’ve made a lot of progress!”
This service is expensive and generally not easily accessible. But Babbitt is also a relatively successful broadcaster and has some fans, so he can receive some support.
“Good thing.” Xiang Shan nodded.
“What about you, Mr. Nonem?”
“I also found a martial arts gym and am taking classes.” Xiang Shan said.
"……ah?"
“I’ll tell you this plan on the way.” Xiang Shan shrugged.
"This..." Babbitt was in a daze: "I said it, I said it...but...I really can't imagine that a master like you still needs to be in a martial arts gym..."
“There is a certain order of learning, and there is a specialization in the arts.” Xiang Shan said: “Martial arts practitioners are also people who have reached the pinnacle of a certain skill, so they naturally have merit.”
When he, Yawgmoth and others created the cyber martial arts system, they also referred to the records of those arena matches.
And the most important thing he has is to connect with TX-0.
Maybe there will be a chance to find Zhu Xinyu along this line in the future.
This is the most important.
Bobbitt nodded and said: "But this is a bit different from the Ren Xia I imagined..."
“The novel doesn’t have this story?”
“No…” said Babbitt.
“Then, what else have you done these days?”
Asked to the mountain.
Bobbitt said: "Well... I have tried to make my own 'fiction' based on the story you told, Mr. Nonem. But it's still very... very clumsy."
"It's normal to not be able to compare with the famous masters of the past. They have experienced a complete culture." Xiang Shan said, "And they have been preparing for 'telling stories' since they were young. They know what is 'fiction' and what is '
Story', you have a complete concept of this. But you only learned about this a week ago. It's normal to have a rough start."
Bobbitt was very moved: "Thank you Ning for your encouragement. One day, I will write a story that makes me proud."
Xiang Shan nodded: "Then what? You stayed in the martial arts hall for three days, and the remaining four days were spent in your car, right?"
Bobbitt shook his head: "Of course not. I also remember the story of 'The Golden Rose' about 'gathering gold powder'. Except for one broadcast, I always walked in the city and observed the 'world'."
“Oh.” Xiang Shan nodded.
In fact, this was one of the purposes of his instructing Babbitt.
He needs more ways to understand this era.
“Fictional works written by people of this era based on the reality of this era” can also be used as a way.
Xiangshan asked: "Then what kind of city do you think Jayhawk City is?"
"Well..." Babbitt pondered for a moment: "It's just a... very ordinary city."
“Very ordinary?”
"Cities in this era have no characteristics. The 'regional culture' and 'geographic concepts' you mentioned have been completely erased." Babbitt said: "The difference between cities is like a garbage dump.
The difference from another garbage dump. If there is any difference... the underground world of this place is very quiet, and there is no trace of gangsters."
Broadcasters work at the bottom, so they naturally have to deal with those people.
Broadcasters are a group that is very sensitive to gangs. It can even be said that they are the most sensitive group to urban gangs.
After all, to the patrons, the gangs are a very weak group of rioters who are on the edge of Dyson's principle. To the knights, the gangs are a group of very weak villains, with low levels of evil and harm.
Even if you beat them, you won't be able to get many good parts. [In a sense, the fact that those young heroes almost overturned in Jayhawk City three years ago may have something to do with this mentality.]
Xiang Shan shrugged: "The gangs in De La Cruz City are probably cleaner."
The things that the Eighth Martial God did back then were not without impact.
At least for the next sixty or seventy years, there was no such thing as a "gangster" in that city.
Perhaps something like "culture" or "common imagination" still exists thinly between people. No matter how much the patrons deny it, it still exists to some extent and cannot be completely eliminated.
Although the underlying ecology created by the Eighth Martial God was destroyed, he did distort the existence of the "gangster" in that area.
At present, there are few signs of the spontaneous civil organizations in De La Cruz City turning into gangs or even green forests.
"That's right. And the lord here seems to be particularly... tsk... it's hard to say this in the city," Babbitt said.
Xiang Shan nodded: "If your internal strength is not good, you really shouldn't say dirty words casually."
"Ah, by the way, Mr. Nonem." Babbitt suddenly changed the topic, as if to show off, and said happily: "After my broadcast the day before yesterday, some supporters came to find me and left. He is also a knight."
“Oh? There are actually chivalrous activities? Are they local?”
Three years ago, with the support of Amilcare Zhao, the asylum organization led by Ms. Deborah Zhao launched a round of attacks on the nearby Jianghu forces.
The chivalrous forces around here have been crushed.
It is really a blessing to have chivalrous people here now.
