basic swordsmanship

Chapter 98 The Engineer's Golden Finger
All day and night.

Tang An was already very sleepy. Because he was afraid of missing any details, he didn't dare to rest and did nothing else except monitor the entire village.

In this way, with nothing else to do, he has already counted the number of people in the village, how many men, how many women, how many old people, how many children, and even how many chickens and cows there are.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some people did not leave the house all day and night, so Tang An would not be able to see them, but as long as they came out, they would not be able to escape Tang An's eyes.

Tang An spent the next few days in anxiety and self-doubt. If he really went to the wrong place this time, then he would be wasting his time these few days.

Including this No. 7 world, he has hardly explored it, and it is changing. When he returns to the gray hall next time, he does not know how many people's ratings will surpass him.

But this is the end of the matter, Tang An will not regret it, this time he opened the map for a total of seven days, and now it has passed less than six days, that is to say, there is only one day left.

After observing for such a long time, Tang An can be said to have a good understanding of this village. After all, watching the villagers work during the day and sleep at night, it is difficult to understand.

Although it is such a small village, there are also some "warriors" of this world. Occasionally, during the day, there will be adults in their prime teaching some young people to practice the most basic "stabbing", "splitting", "sweeping" and "picking" with wooden swords , 'block' these five most basic actions.

These five movements belong to the content taught in "Basic Swordsmanship".

At this moment, Tang An took out a book.

This book has the words "Basic Swordsmanship" written on it. It was bought from other players when I was in Yuntiecheng, and it cost Tang An 5 silver coins.

When Tang An got this book, he saw the five basic movements taught in the book and could choose to 'learn'.

After learning, you can directly become a 'Warrior'.

This is a way to strengthen in the world of No. 7.

Tang An didn't study, but he heard from people who have already learned that after learning, this basic swordsmanship can be 'upgraded'. Continuous practice can improve the level of swordsmanship, improve the level of swordsmanship, not only improve strength, but also learn more advanced skills swordsmanship and martial arts.

This is somewhat similar to the skill tree of the extraordinary potion, except that it is a "skill book" that requires long-term practice and advanced martial arts. On the side of the extraordinary potion, it needs a catalytic potion to unlock subsequent abilities.

They are all from weak to strong, from low to high, step by step.

But to be honest, Tang An really looked down on this 'basic swordsmanship', no matter how you say it, it couldn't be compared with the strengthening direction he chose.

Insight, the improvement is 'sensitivity', and it happens that when using firearms, acumen is the biggest bonus item. Before Tang An encountered the enemy, he was able to strike first and kill him with one shot. It was not because he was lucky, but because he was more intelligent than the enemy Keen, the so-called strike first, and in the eyes of insight, the accuracy of shooting is also several times stronger than others.

That's why Tang An prepared so many guns for himself after he obtained the extraordinary ability of the insight, because this ability matches the firearms, so there are bonus points.

In this case, how could Tang An learn 'basic swordsmanship'? That would be like choosing sesame seeds over watermelons. Tang An wouldn't do such a stupid thing, and it would never be possible in this life.

The people in the village practice to protect themselves and their homes. The children practice diligently, and the elders have rich experience. In the past few days, Tang An has seen a wild boar break into the village and destroy it. Tang An originally planned to help, but found that there was no such thing. necessary.

An elder holding an iron sword killed the wild boar with three blows, five cuts and two cuts. What he used was basic swordsmanship, with a solid foundation and just the right strength. With a sharp blade, it was normal to be able to kill wild boars.Tang An even knew that if it was him, within seven steps, even with a flintlock gun, the chance of winning against the old man in the village was no more than [-]%.

Simple stabs, chops, sweeps, and picks are sometimes simpler and more effective, with great power.

It was getting dark.

Tang An has become accustomed to watching the sun rise and set here. As expected, today is the last time. At dawn, his mission time will be over and he will be forcibly teleported back to the gray hall.

Of course, before that, Tang An had already obtained a mission item here, which would ensure that he would enter the No. 7 world next time.

into the night.

Tang An looked up at the sky. Today's moon was rounder than a few days ago. It was a full moon night, and the starry sky was cloudless, and the scenery was sultry.

Tang An didn't care much about the monitoring of the village anymore. The past few days were the same as before, and he didn't see the so-called 'beggars' at all.

But when Tang An looked down at the village, his eyelids twitched.

In the deserted streets and alleys, there is now one more person.

Either outsiders, or from the village, Tang An called the other party 'coach', because this is the person who taught the village how to practice swordsmanship on weekdays, and at the same time, the other party is also the strongest master in the village.

If it was a weekday, no one in the village would come out after dark, especially the coach. Tang An had never seen this person come out after dark in the past few days.

Today is the first time.

As the saying goes, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, so Tang An naturally paid attention to it.

It was dark and quiet at night. The instructor walked to a place in the village, then sat on the ground and stopped moving. Looking at the clothes the instructor was wearing, they were very shabby and completely different from what he usually wore. At this moment, he looked like a ,beggar.

What Tang An saw was his heart beating faster, and he almost shouted out excitedly.

He got it.

The engineer tampered with the village secretly, probably because he was afraid of being discovered. The so-called 'beggars' only appeared at certain times.

None of these were written into the log.

It has to be said that what the engineer did was quite deceitful. If Tang An hadn't insisted and even wasted his time staying here, he might have missed this key point.

In order to confirm his guess, Tang An quickly entered the village and walked towards the 'coach'.

At this moment, the instructor's face was expressionless, his eyes were blank, and he just sat there, giving the impression that he was like a puppet, a lifeless puppet.

Observing this, Tang An confirmed his guess.

The entire man-made world is created by engineers. Even the evolution of the plot world is automatically developed by relying on basic data, but the engineers must have a strong ability to control the overall world.

To put it bluntly, an engineer is the 'god' who created this world.

Since he is a 'god', he is omnipotent in this world. It is not difficult at all to use some hidden codes to control a character in a plot world and make the other party unaware.

For some reason, Tang An felt a trace of fear.

so horrible.

This feeling is more frightening than seeing a ghost. Just imagine, you are a 'player', but now, aren't you also forced to be 'trapped' in an artificial space?
What's the difference between that and plot characters?
As long as you are here, no matter who you are, no matter what your status and status are, you must abide by the rules here. Similarly, the "god" here can make anyone's life worse by using the rules, that is, the "code". die.

Tang An recalled that encounter, the spaceship cabin that seemed to be a terrifying space, the cold alloy floor, and the pain in his chest.
