The blood dragon fruits in the Immortal Mansion were ripe. Chen Zining picked six of them and called Du Tao and Miao Shufang to share them: "I have something good for you, two for each of you, let's try it together."
Du Tao took it in his hand. He had more experience, but he had never seen the actual blood dragon fruit. He remembered the record in a book and said hesitantly: "Blood dragon fruit?"
Without waiting for Chen Zining's answer, he felt that the huge spiritual energy contained in the spirit fruit was definitely higher than the third-grade spirit fruit. He immediately said in a positive tone: "It's really a fourth-grade blood dragon fruit! Boss, where did you get it? This fruit is awesome
Rare."
"I'll just take what you have. Why are you asking so many questions? Haven't you seen that I have been promoted to the fourth level?" Chen Zining smiled and said that Du Tao had just broken through the second level. Compared with the bottom position when he entered school, he has now almost reached the middle level.
level.
As for Miao Shufang's martial arts qualifications, they are still above Du Tao. Although he is one year younger, he has already entered the second level for two months and is working hard to break through to the third level. He is only missing the last step, which is what is needed most.
At that moment, Miao Shufang picked up two of them and said, "Boss, I'm not polite. In two days, just wait for me to be promoted to the third level."
Du Tao also smiled and said: "What's wrong with the third level? Maybe I can catch up with you again in a few days."
Miao Shufang looked unbelieving.
The library of Changfeng College occupies a large area, but there are not many students who usually come here to read. This makes the spacious reading room with only a few people in it very quiet, and everyone occupies a piece of territory.
Chen Zining was sitting at a long table in the corner, concentrating on reading a book about flower planting. Suddenly he felt someone sitting down opposite him, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange, considering that 90% of the seats in the entire reading room were occupied.
The tenth floor was empty, and those who came to read the books sat far apart from each other. Except for friends who came with them, no one wanted to get together.
Chen Zining looked up and saw Meng Xue holding a book in her hand and looking at him with a smile.
Chen Zining smiled and nodded, but heard Meng Xue whisper: "How are you going to spend the 15th?"
Chen Zining was puzzled and said: "What happened on the 15th?"
After hearing this, Meng Xue's eyes widened, as if she had encountered something incredible. After a long time, she smiled and said: "The 15th is your sixteenth birthday. Can't you even remember this?"
"Oh! If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten it." Chen Zining didn't pay much attention to his birthday. In previous years, he would often see his mother prepare a large table of dishes on the same day. He would also ask stupidly: "What is today?"
Days? Why are there so many delicious foods?"
The result was a slap in the face from my mother: "You stupid boy, today is a day when your mother has suffered so much that she can't even remember it!"
Thinking of this, Chen Zining asked strangely: "How did you know?"
"I heard from my dad that we both have the same birthday, and I happen to be one year younger than you."
"What a coincidence! In previous years, I just had a big meal." Chen Zining said in surprise.
"I want to celebrate my birthday in the college this year. Let's work together and invite some classmates to have a birthday dinner." Meng Xue suggested.
Chen Zining thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."
The library was not a suitable place to discuss things, so the two of them did not talk in detail, but made an appointment to discuss some details at another time.
Chen Zining returned to the dormitory in the evening and met Shen Yingyang who had accepted the mission again and came to Tsinghua City. Chen Zining was overjoyed and asked about the seven people from the Yingyang Mercenary Group who came with him this time and were currently living in the inn.
Invite Du Tao and Miao Shufang to have a dinner together.
Shen Yingyang no longer wore the all-white clothes. Instead, he wore a tight-fitting shorts, a standard mercenary outfit. There was a trace of dust on his face. He looked more mature than the free and easy three months ago. A lot.
Chen Zining asked: "Did the journey here go smoothly this time?"
Shen Yingyang smiled and said calmly: "That's right. At least this time only two people were injured and no one died."
Speaking of which, Shen Yingyang's people are all above the warrior level, which is pretty good in the mercenary world. However, the number is too small and there is no one who can dominate the battle. They can only take on the work of some small caravans. In comparison, the tasks are much longer. A bit more dangerous.
The last time I joined the team of the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce, I thought it was powerful and well-paid, but when the news of the Meng family's resignation leaked, I fought with several groups of horse thieves and even killed a partner.
The group came to the inn and met seven other people. Chen Zining knew most of them, especially a young mercenary named Xu Chenghao. This man was witty and liked to bet and joke with others. On the way to Qinghua City, he got very close to Chen Zining. It seems that he is only twenty-one years old, but he has the fifth level of warrior cultivation. His martial arts talent is no worse than Shen Yingyang. He and another person were injured. Fortunately, the injury was neither light nor serious, and they could still walk on the ground. , I have seen a doctor and been given medicine. When we have dinner together, we can only eat some light food and forget about drinking wine.
During the dinner, Chen Zining said: "Brother Shen, I am planning to do some business in Tsinghua City, and I am looking for manpower. If you are willing, you can come and help me. I can't guarantee anything else, but at least I won't be a mercenary compared to you." Poor treatment.”
In fact, Chen Zining had such a plan for a long time. There were more and more things in Qiankun Immortal Mansion, and they were all extremely valuable spiritual objects. He only had one Luo Nansheng available in Tsinghua City. It wasn't that he didn't believe him, but Luo Nansheng was an ordinary person after all. If a person is not protected by force, it is difficult to leave some valuable items to him.
Chenjiacun's current strength is relatively weak and cannot spare many manpower. He and Shen Yingyang have been together for more than half a month. They know each other very well and can trust him. Some matters of dealing with others can be easily solved. He wanted to find someone to share the burden. Firstly, he didn't want to show up too much, and secondly, he didn't want too many chores to affect his practice. Just harvesting the more than one acre of rice fields in Qiankun Immortal Mansion would take him a lot of time.
