Chapter 21 Sword raising and sword drawing (seeking further reading)(1/2)
After changing clothes in the forest, Han Zhao returned to Black Rock City.
Today was a fruitful day, so he decided to eat something good.
After entering the city, we went straight to Yijiangfang and went to a small restaurant specializing in haggis soup.
The store here is not big, and the decoration is ordinary, but the ingredients are solid and the taste is great. A bowl of haggis soup costs five cents, so the price is affordable.
After his strength increased greatly, his appetite also became larger and larger.
Although Han Zhao can afford to eat in big restaurants now, it's not necessary.
This kind of life of counting money is not rich, but it is also very fulfilling.
Every penny he spends and every day's effort will be reflected in the progress bar on the system panel and changes in his body.
This feeling is very good.
"Xiao Han, you have a good appetite." The owner of the small restaurant brought another large bowl of haggis soup and a plate of pancakes.
Because Han Zhao has been eating here every month for more than a year, so he has become familiar with it every time he goes back and forth.
There were four empty bowls placed in front of Han Zhao, and he had destroyed all the dozens of fried cakes on the plate.
"It's okay, it's okay." Han Zhao stacked the empty bowl in his hand on the empty bowl aside and launched an attack on the new bowl of haggis soup. He grabbed the fried cake with his left hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
While eating, he muttered: "Mainly because Uncle Li's haggis soup is delicious. It is indeed the best in Black Rock City!"
"That's right." The boss heard this, with a smile on his face. He returned to the kitchen and filled a small bowl of haggis and placed it on Han Zhao's table.
"Xiao Han, this is for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Li."
"Hey - you're welcome." The boss waved his hand.
After eating and drinking, Han Zhao put down thirty coins and said, "Uncle Li, let's go!"
"Okay, come back next time!"
"Definitely come!"
Han Zhao waved and walked out of the door. He looked at his round belly and patted it gently: "Digest well and don't lose to the system!"
After walking a few steps, Han Zhao paused. He thought that this place was quite close to the martial arts gym, so he planned to go to the martial arts gym to see if Zhao Yuantu was there, and then make an appointment to practice together.
After the special effects of his health-preserving skills were upgraded to level 3, once his internal and external strength was brought into play, it felt like killing a chicken against ordinary bone-training warriors.
There is no need to play dirty, just crush them directly.
Only Zhou Han, who had perfected the bone training realm before, could struggle under his hands.
After the physical strengthening effect was upgraded to level 4 a few days ago, Han Zhao felt that his strength had become much stronger.
Therefore, he wanted to intuitively experience the strength of a blood-training warrior, and used Zhao Yuantu as a reference for combat strength to see how strong the power of Yi Zhao was.
As soon as Han Zhao turned around, he saw a man and two women walking towards the street. They were Xu Ling, Su Yun and Zhang Tianwen.
It seemed they were out for lunch.
"Junior Brother Han!" Xu Ling waved to Han Zhao as soon as he saw him.
Han Zhao walked up and happened to ask Xu Ling if Zhao Yuantu was at the martial arts school, so he had to walk a few steps less.
"Senior Sister Xu." He greeted Xu Ling with a smile, and then looked at Su Yun and Zhang Tianwen aside.
"Senior Sister Su, Senior Brother Zhang."
Su Yun nodded, while Zhang Tianwen on the side simply ignored it.
Because of Zhao Yuantu's incident, Zhang Tianwen had a grudge against Han Zhao.
When Han Zhao returned to the city a few days ago, he made special inquiries and learned that there was only one Zhang family in the city, and he understood which family was the backer of Feilong Village.
In order to be on the safe side, he decided to wait until he could destroy the Zhang family before taking action, otherwise it would be too dangerous.
"Junior Brother Han, why haven't you come to the martial arts gym in recent times? Master Lu has asked you several times."
Xu Ling asked doubtfully.
Han Zhao spread his hands helplessly, "There is no other way. I have to find a way to make money, otherwise I won't be able to maintain my cultivation progress."
Xu Ling was a little embarrassed and felt that she had asked a stupid question.
"I will go back to the martial arts gym in two days. By the way, is senior brother at the martial arts gym?" Han Zhao changed the topic.
Xu Ling replied: "Elder brother followed our Xu family's caravan to Yufeng City. It will probably take a few days to come back. Do you have anything urgent to do with him?"
"It's nothing urgent. I'll find him again when he comes back in a few days." Han Zhao smiled.
"Okay then." Xu Ling nodded slightly and suggested, "Junior brother Han, are we going to have dinner together?"
"No, I just ate five big bowls of haggis soup, eh! That's the place."
Han Zhao pointed to the small restaurant behind him.
Zhang Tianwen chuckled lightly, opened the folding fan and fanned himself coolly, and said: "Junior Sister Xu, Junior Brother Han said they are thinking of ways to make money, you still want him to go to Shengyue Tower with us for dinner, this is not something that can be forced on others.
?"
"Xu Ling, since Junior Brother Han has already eaten, let's go." Su Yun said. Although she didn't have a good impression of Han Zhao, she couldn't stand Zhang Tianwen's targeting of Han Zhao. It was too ungraceful.
"Nothing, Junior Brother Han, come on, I'm treating you!" Xu Ling patted his 'flat' chest.
"Next time." Han Zhao was not polite. If Zhang Tianwen wasn't here, he could still eat another meal.
If Zhang Tianwen kept talking nonsense, he might not be able to bear it and ask for mental damages at night.
"Is that mutton soup really so delicious?" Xu Ling changed the topic.
"I think it's delicious, but I don't know about you..." When Han Zhao was asking whether she was used to eating, he remembered that she ate more than him at the snack street last time, and he paused.
.
"Let's go! Let's have haggis soup for lunch today." Xu Ling clenched his fists and said.
Zhang Tianwen and Su Yun both frowned.
"Are you going?" Xu Ling turned to look at Su Yun.
Su Yun shook her head.
"Then I'll go by myself. It just so happens that I don't have enough money recently." Xu Ling said with a smile, with slight dimples showing on his cheeks.
With that said, she pulled up Han Zhao's sleeve and left, "Junior brother Han, please accompany me to have another bowl."
"I'll go if you treat me." Han Zhao requested.
"No problem!" Xu Ling walked quickly towards the small restaurant.
Han Zhao frowned. If he had known it, he would have eaten later, otherwise he would have let her know what the dangers of society are.
"Huh!" Zhang Tianwen's face looked a little ugly.
Since the last time he failed to recruit Zhao Yuantu, he had focused on Xu Ling.
It would be good for his future if he could marry Xu Ling.
If Xu Ling succeeds in inheriting the family business, he will control half of Xu's business in the future.
Even if Xu Ling fails, he can still use this to win over Zhao Yuantu.
And Xu Ling is also quite pretty.
It's just that he didn't expect that Xu Ling was as ignorant of flattery as Han Zhao. He took the initiative to show his kindness and still pretended to be confused.
Why is this woman so superficial!
Han Zhao, a pretty boy, could not compare with him except that his face was slightly more handsome.
If Han Zhao had not had a good relationship with Zhao Yuantu, was not talented in swordsmanship, and was valued by Lu Yi, he would have had 10,000 ways to kill Han Zhao.
...
"Huh~ I finally got rid of him." Xu Ling ran into the small restaurant and breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed that it was not because he was physically tired, but because he was mentally tired.
"It seems you don't like Zhang Tianwen very much." Han Zhao said with a smile.
"Isn't it the same for you?"
"I don't deny this."
"Since the last time, he has been pestering me. I can't just break up with him. I have no choice." Xu Ling was a little helpless.
"Last time?" Han Zhao was stunned for a moment.
"It was that time..." Xu Ling's small, fair ears turned red.
"Oh~!" Han Zhao was stunned and looked down at Xu Ling's chest.
"He stares at me every day, which makes my skin crawl all over. I have been wearing more underwear recently. You don't come to the martial arts gym recently, and he often wants to spar with me. Fortunately, Su Yun helps me block it.
It’s so disgusting!” Xu Ling’s eyebrows were filled with anger, and his sharp little tiger teeth were exposed.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell him?" Han Zhao smiled.
