Chapter 87-07: The first Ram player to change his job
"The planner is such a jerk. They said it was a completely free game, but in the end they don't even allow you to build houses casually!"

"Lao Zhang, what are you doing there? Come and form a team to complete the mission!"

Northern Frontier, Yancheng.

As the only remaining city among the thirteen cities in Northern Xinjiang, Yancheng covers an area of ​​only more than 300 acres. Coupled with its unique octagonal design, Yancheng actually looks smaller.

In Bajiaoyan City, the most central building is naturally the General's Mansion. From the General's Mansion along the central axis to the north is the location of the martial arts arena.

The location of the resurrection pool is also on the north side of the general's mansion and the southeast side of the martial arts field.

Originally, the location of the resurrection pool was full of messy and collapsed houses. With the arrival of players and the daily task of cleaning up the collapsed houses in Yancheng, the area around the resurrection pool is not only clean and tidy, but there are also temporary houses built of wood not far away from the resurrection pool.

These cabins appear a bit messy and irregular because there is no unified plan and they are built by players at will.

The main function of these cabins is for veteran players to log in and out. After all, not every player is like Niu Bu, who most of the time takes off his clothes and lies in the resurrection pool to log out.

But now, some old players started to tear down their own cabins while cursing.

The reason is that in the new expansion pack, there is a guided mission [Build a Barracks]. Players need to use wood and stone to build a barracks on the northwest side of the general's mansion, directly opposite the gate of the martial arts field.

The barracks will replace the online and offline functions of the resurrection pool, allowing players to have some private space.

[Build Barracks] is a guide task for the new data, which can be taken up by all players. After completing the [Build Barracks] task, players can obtain some Yancheng Merit Points and Yancheng Contribution Points, which can basically allow players to purchase a ring-handled sword so that they don't have to go to the dungeon empty-handed.

But that’s all. If you want to purchase more military supplies, you still need to complete the [copy] mission.

Simple carts, pushing large stones and piles of wood, are moved from the resurrection pool to the barracks. After the new expansion pack is released, the game's economic system is updated. Whether old players or new players, all work hard as construction workers, building the barracks brick by brick.

But, there is one exception.

The third test player, Zhang Xiaoti.

Zhang Xiaoti was the first player in the third test to start changing his job.

Before the new profession came out, Zhang Xiaoti was ready to join the military strategists and military skills school, but as the content of the new expansion pack was released, Zhang Xiaoti announced in the forum that after the new profession was launched, he would definitely switch to the new profession and join the Confucian Gongyang School from the military strategists and military skills school.

Therefore, when all the players were actively participating in building the barracks and earning Yancheng merit points, only Zhang Xiaoti was standing there stupidly watching, not knowing what he was doing.

"Lao Zhang? Lao Zhang, come and give me a hand!"

"Oh, fuck, standing offline, what the hell!"

The player who wanted Zhang Xiaoti to help shouted a few times, and then found that Zhang Xiaoti was still in a daze, and was immediately shocked. The resurrection coins of "Bai Jia Zhu Dao" are very expensive. Generally speaking, when players go offline, they are either in the resurrection pool or back to the cabin they built.

At the very least, he had to find a secret place to hide and log off. This was the first time he had seen someone log off while standing.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaoti was not online, the player could only carry the wood by himself and walk towards the barracks with difficulty.

There were not many carts in Yancheng, and when he arrived a little late, all the carts were snatched away.

"Among the prerequisites for the Gongyang School of Confucianism, the third one is the most difficult for me."

About ten minutes later, Zhang Xiaoti, who had been standing there stupidly, suddenly muttered to himself that he had just logged off to buy pens and ink to practice calligraphy for his job change to Gongyang School.

The Gongyang School of Confucianism has four prerequisites. One of them is not difficult for players. As long as you complete nine years of compulsory education, you will get points for free.

The second one is not difficult either. The Confucian Five Constant Virtues are benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, which are also free points for players.

Only the third and fourth are a bit difficult, and the third is more difficult for players, because in the game, you need to use a brush to write the "Spring and Autumn Annals". Fortunately, there is no time limit for copying the "Spring and Autumn Annals", and players can write it slowly, even if it takes ten days or half a month to write it.

"Set small goals and strive to complete the pre-job transfer tasks within one day."

As a post-90s generation, Zhang Xiaoti once learned abacus and calligraphy. Although he hasn't written with a brush for some years, his basic skills are still there. Zhang Xiaoti is confident that one day is enough to copy a neatly written copy of the "Spring and Autumn Annals".

"The abilities you master in the game can be used in real life, and similarly, the abilities you master in real life can be used in the game."

"In Yancheng, a place with scarce resources, practicing calligraphy is too luxurious, but in reality, practicing calligraphy is much easier!"

After the version update, all the supplies needed by players need to be purchased with money. Although the brush is a white item, it is expensive. Zhang Xiaoti was reluctant to practice calligraphy in the game, so he stepped on the ground and went offline to practice calligraphy.

"What the hell, why is Lao Zhang so crazy? Everyone is doing the mission, and he just went offline?"

"I guess something happened in reality. Hurry up and complete the task. I can't wait to change my job to the Ram Faction."

"Confucianism is a boon to newbies. After completing this task, let's see if we can complete the Confucian prerequisite tasks first."

"Damn, you all want to switch to Gongyang School? No, I don't like Confucianism. I'd better switch to Bingshi School. Bingxing School suits me better!"

"Zhang Xiaoti meets the angel!"

The starry sky is bright and the moon is hanging high in the sky.

Zhang Xiaoti, who had been offline for almost the entire day, knocked on Su Mu's door and walked in at night. He first bowed slightly to Su Mu, and then placed a copied copy of "Spring and Autumn Annals" on Su Mu's desk.

"Zhang Xiaoti?"

"Good name!"

Seeing the "Spring and Autumn Annals" placed by Zhang Xiaoti on the table, Su Mu took it and glanced at it, his eyes lit up.

The handwriting in this copied version of "Spring and Autumn Annals" is average, but the paper is clean and the handwriting is neat, which shows that it was written with great care.

Being able to complete the transcription of "Spring and Autumn Annals" in just one day is enough to show how much importance Zhang Xiaoti attached to the Gongyang School of Confucianism.

"Angel, when reciting the Spring and Autumn Annals, do you ask the questions, or do I choose?"

Zhang Xiaoti was quite nervous. Although "Spring and Autumn Annals" only had more than 10,000 words, it was obscure and difficult to understand and not particularly easy to memorize.

If you want to memorize all of them, one day will not be enough, but if you choose them by yourself, it will be easy.

The Spring and Autumn Annals has a total of thirty-five volumes, with an average of less than three hundred words per volume, so it is quite easy to memorize.

“You can choose whatever you want!”

Hearing what Su Mu said, Zhang Xiaoti's eyes lit up. He put his hands behind his back and recited one volume of "Spring and Autumn Annals" with confidence.

After a few breaths, Su Mu looked at Zhang Xiaoti with admiration: "You are talented and intelligent, and you agree with the beliefs and ideas of my Confucian Gongyang School. As a guide, I will naturally lead you into the Gongyang School."

Su Mu turned around, picked up the "Spring and Autumn Annals" he had been reciting from the table behind him, and handed it to Zhang Xiaoti: "If the father is not executed, the son can avenge him. If the father is executed, the son avenges him. This is the way of pushing the blade. Revenge does not eliminate harm."

"This is the Gongyang Commentary on the Spring and Autumn Annals. If you don't understand anything, you can come to me."
