Chapter 30: Growth NPC?

"You brushed it really clean. It seems you like to be clean."

Seeing that there was no rust in the copper pot, Chu Zhongxing gave a thumbs up. He picked up some wood from the ground, threw it next to the stove, and patted his hands covered with dirt: "Brave man, let's discuss something."

"kindness?"

"Give me this copper pot and go get another one for yourself!"

"No, you are a tyrant."

Niu Bu retracted a curse word, with surprise written all over his face: "No, you are sure you remembered it correctly!"

This kid actually scolded me!
Jot it down in my little notebook!
Chu Zhongxing withdrew Niu Bu's withdrawal.

He just heard Niu Bu scolding him, and he had to write it down in his little notebook.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Zhongxing saw that Niu Bu looked unhappy and directly popped up a dialog box for him.

[Trigger side quest—a request from Captain Chu.]

Captain Chu of the Yancheng Town Beijun Army needs to use a copper pot. Are you willing to give your copper pot to him?

whether.】

task?

Side mission?

Niu Bu's eyes lit up. This was the first time he encountered a side quest in "Bai Jia Zhu Dao".

"Yes!"

Niu Bu immediately clicked yes, and a smile quickly appeared on his face: "Captain Chu, please come this way. This copper pot is for you to use, please use it!"

Seeing Niu Bu being so sensible, Chu Zhongxing smiled. He patted Niu Bu and praised him, "Thank you, warrior. You are really a diligent person who knows how to respect your superiors."

[You completed the mission and gained the favor of Captain Chu.]

Gone?

Is this gone?

Looking at the dialog box that popped up with only one message, Niu Bu was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, he seemed to have thought of something and hurried to look for the copper pot again.

"Good feeling, good feeling again."

"Before, I killed some monsters and was rewarded with a good impression. Then the coach invited me to switch to the Military Strategy School."

"Now another NPC's favor."

"Could it be that favorability is the correct way to unlock game rewards?"

Niu Bu felt that he had mastered the rules of the game. He glanced at the dim sky, took out a copper pot from a corner of the military clinic, and placed it on another stove.

I fetched water and washed the pot. By the time I finished my work, Chu Zhongxing had already boiled the water.

"What is this NPC doing?"

While the fire was burning, Niu Bu secretly observed the NPC's behavior. He saw that the NPC named Chu Zhongxing actually took out a bag of herbs from his pocket and threw the herbs into the pot.

The water continued to boil, inducing the medicinal properties of the herbs to take effect.

Smelling the strong scent of herbs, an incredible idea emerged in Niu Bufu's mind.

This NPC couldn't be trying to take a herbal bath to open up his Ren and Du meridians, right?

thump!
"Hiss~~~~"

Just as Niu Bu thought, the NPC Chu Zhongxing actually took off all his clothes and jumped directly into the copper pot.

Accompanied by a sound of people sucking in cold air, Niu Bu's head was buzzing.

I'm in a big trough!
This NPC really takes a medicinal bath!
Isn’t the purpose of medicinal bathing to open up the Ren and Du meridians?

Why does this NPC need a medicinal bath? Could it be that he hasn't opened up his Ren and Du meridians yet?
Niu Bu remembered that this NPC had followed them to learn chopping and riding two days ago.
But at that time, his attention was all on chopping, slashing and riding, and he didn't think much about it.

"Take the initiative to learn the Five Teachings and take a medicinal bath to open up the Ren and Du meridians." "Could this NPC be a growth-oriented NPC?"

Niu Bu made two "tsk" sounds, and Chu Zhongxing in the copper pot felt that he was almost cooked.

"I don't think Guo Xiaoding wants to kill me this way!"

Boiling water can bring out the best medicinal effects of herbs. Guo Xiaoding patted his chest yesterday and vowed that he would not be cooked if he jumped into the boiling copper pot.

The sun rises in the east, bringing with it warmth and golden charm.

The sunlight mixed with purple air penetrated the darkness and brought vitality to Yancheng.

Chu Zhongxing gritted his teeth while soaking in the copper pot, enduring the intense pain, while Niu Bu beside him was quite comfortable. He soaked in the medicinal bath without feeling pain, enjoying the first ray of purple air in the morning, and quietly observing Chu Zhongxing whose face had been distorted.

Are medicinal baths painful?
Why don't I feel anything?

"the vast horizon is my love"

Niu Bu looked at Chu Zhongxing's distorted face and felt in a good mood for some reason. He hummed a little tune and enjoyed his comfortable life.

"Fuck, I want to be a gamer too, and I also want to have no sense of pain."

Chu Zhongxing, who traveled through time in a physical body, felt not only severe pain all over his body, but also very itchy. He resisted the urge to scratch and silently endured the pain.

The military strategist is the most powerful school among all the schools of thought. Those who want to become a military strategist must have strong willpower and tolerance for pain.

Niu Bu chose to join the military strategist, and Chu Zhongxing naturally chose to join the military strategist as well.

Or in other words, Chu Zhongxing, who was trapped in an isolated city thousands of miles away, had only the option of being a military strategist.

The first step to becoming a military strategist is to open the Ren and Du meridians with a medicinal bath. Chu Zhongxing's face was grim as he soaked in the boiling copper pot. He didn't know how long it had been before Guo Xiaoding, who was hiding in the dark, appeared beside Chu Zhongxing like a ghost and pulled him out of the copper pot.

"Good willpower."

Guo Xiaoding praised lightly, then he took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, took out some ointment and applied it all over Chu Zhongxing's body.

"The crooked demon Kamu Rabbit, Northeast!"

Guo Xiaoding applied ointment on Chu Zhongxing, giving Niu Bu the feeling of a Northeastern bathhouse uncle applying mud cream to his customers. He crossed his legs, whistled, and looked at Chu Zhongxing with a smile.

"Come out too. Even if you soak for a while longer and apply ointment, it won't save you!"

Guo Xiaoding looked at the relaxed Niu Bu and said calmly. Niu Bu was so scared that he immediately climbed out of the copper pot and smiled at Guo Xiaoding:
"Hey, General Guo, the coach didn't seem to tell me about the ointment."

"You have the magical power of [Immortal Soul, Indestructible Body]. Li Yulun just wants to save some ointment."

“Although I don’t know what the price is to activate the magical power [Immortal Soul, Indestructible Body], I don’t think the ointment is worth that much.”

Guo Xiaoding threw a bottle of medicine to Niu Bu and asked Niu Bu to apply it on himself.

the man.

I like to compare sizes unconsciously.

Niu Bu, who applied the ointment on himself, felt very unbalanced.

Could it be that this NPC was created by the idiot planner himself to play with?

Niu Bu was very angry. If you have the guts to pinch my face, you can do it. If I don’t pinch it around my waist, you are not Niu!
No one knew what medicinal material the black ointment was made of, but it had a faint scent of ink. Niu Bu took the ointment and applied it all over his body, and he immediately felt a refreshing and cool feeling.

"What a waste of nature, what a waste of nature!"

"General Guo, there is not much lithospermum ointment left. Niu Bu has the magical power of [immortality of the soul and indestructibility of the body], why not let him open up his own Ren and Du meridians?"

Li Yulun looked at Niu Bu with a distressed look as he painted himself into a Kunlun slave. All kinds of supplies in Yancheng were very scarce, and there were only a few bottles of comfrey cream and other ointments.

If Chu Zhongxing was allowed to use Niu Bu freely, the Lithospermum officinale ointment would be consumed within a week.

What would we do if other soldiers were burned, poisoned, and beyond cure?

"It's okay. The barbarian tribe has comfrey ointment."

"General."

Li Yulun's old face showed surprise. Guo Xiaoding raised his hand to stop him from saying the next word. He carried Chu Zhongxing, who was covered in black and smeared with ointment, and walked away.
