Beiyin Great Sage

Chapter 40 Living Alone

Since that day, Dai Lei seemed to have figured out something and stopped guarding the tree house and began to go out frequently to find a living.

His attitude towards Zhou Jia also became less enthusiastic.

In other words, the disguise has been removed.

"Xiaoyu has found a job." At the dinner table, Dai Lei said:

"She makes desserts at a place called Lingyin Pavilion. Her parents are in the pastry business, so she has such a skill."

"Not bad." Zhou Jia's eyes lit up:

"How's the salary?"

"In charge of food and accommodation, eighteen yuan a day." Dai Lei also looked envious:

"This shop not only caters to people from the outer city, but also often delivers snacks to wealthy families in the inner city, so the treatment is pretty good."

"Unfortunately, I don't have the ability."

"It's hard to find a job." Zhou Jia nodded:

"I also asked several recruiters. Either they were too busy, or the wages they offered were too low, the price was right, and they were too dangerous."

"What did Fatty Han say?" Dai Lei said:

"You didn't find him?"

"He said to let me wait first." Zhou Jia stopped his chopsticks and said:

"It seems like you won't be able to find a suitable job for a while. You should exercise more during this period. I heard that the cold moon is coming soon."

Hanyue is a special product of Huojiabao.

According to the earth's calendar, there is a month of severe cold here every year. At that time, thousands of miles of ice cover, heavy snowfall, and white wind every night make survival even more difficult.

The key is.

He is in no hurry.

"Yeah." Dai Lei poked the rice in the bowl and whispered:

"He actually found me."

"Really?" Zhou Jia was not surprised:

"But introduction work?"

"Yes." Dai Lei nodded:

"Let me, the Yulong Guild Hall, wash clothes and take care of food and accommodation. The salary is two yuan more than Xiaoyu's. What do you think?"

"The Fish and Dragon Guild Hall..." Zhou Jia thought for a moment and said:

"It should be okay. It's not like a prostitute there. It's the face of the Fish and Dragon Society. As long as you're careful, no one will deliberately target you."

Hearing this, Dai Lei's face darkened.

Although I was doing laundry for others, the reputation of working in that kind of place was not good after all. As long as I cared about myself, I would definitely not agree to it.

And Zhou Jia...

It seems that the other party has never wanted to go further with him.

Although she had guessed it, she still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, she had lived under the same roof for a month or two.

Why is this man's heart so cold?

"Then I'll move out in two days." Taking a deep breath, Dai Lei said in a muffled voice:

"I will pay you back the meal money during this period."

"No, no need." Zhou Jia waved his hand:

"You also helped me keep vigil, and you only ate japonica rice, so you didn't spend much money, but you still have to eat better and exercise more in the future. Your own strength is more important than anything else in this place."

He was content if he could leave a private space for himself.

"Okay!" Dai Lei didn't force it:

"By the way, Fatty Han asked me to tell you that now everyone around here knows that you have used your money to buy Origin Techniques and martial arts, and you don't have much Origin Stone left, so no one will have any evil thoughts about you in the future. .”

"Really?" Zhou Jia raised his eyebrows:

"That's good news."

…………

There are seven styles of cloak ax technique.

Tiger tail scissors!

Hammer!

Thunder Needle Initiation!

The autumn wind sweeps the leaves!

Fly across the river!

Wild horses part their temples!

The old horse is racing!

Because it is transformed from the cloak sword technique, the details will be slightly different. After all, the blade and ax blade determine the different attack methods.

If you want to be proficient in it, you must practice hard.

"Duh!"

"Duh duh!"

Zhou Jia slashed back and forth against the wall of the tree house, the giant ax flipping flexibly in his hand, and pieces of wood fell down one after another in the flickering light of the ax.

He plans to open a small inner room on the basis of the original tree house.

The two rooms inside and outside are connected by an 'L' shaped passage. There is a wooden door at the corner, which usually hides the inner room.

Firstly, there is a private space, and secondly, a door can be opened on the opposite side of the inner room, so that even if someone blocks one side, one can still leave from the other side.

At the same time, you can also practice your axe skills, why not?

Half an hour later.

Zhou Jia stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat off his face, glanced at the light screen in his mind, and shook his head gently.

Without the guidance of a famous teacher, the increase in martial arts experience is incredibly slow.

Think back to the beginning.

With Master He, just a few words of advice can add a lot of experience. Nowadays, a day of hard work can't compare to the other person's words.

More than just martial arts!

The same is true for source techniques.

No wonder they all want to learn from a master and join a big force. The benefits are indeed much greater than those of casual cultivators.

"Why!"

With a sigh and wiping the sweat on his body, Zhou Jia stepped out. After walking around a few times, he came back with the package.

I have bought these things for a while, but it has been inconvenient to take them out. I only have time to take inventory now.

After closing the door and making sure that Dai Lei would not come back, he opened the package and dumped the things on the table.

"Crash..."

A pile of debris came into view.

The first are two money bags, from the fat and thin duo and the monkey. The contents have been seen before, sixteen source stones and some source coins.

It is precisely because of the money that Zhou Jia is not in a hurry to go out and find a job.

A set of iron claws from Slim Man Huang.

It is said that his claw skills were very good, but unfortunately he never used them, but the weapons remained.

The other person's weapon is a short stick with a mechanism on it. With a slight twist of the stick, it turns into a long spear. It is easy to pick up and can be used for sneak attacks.

Both of these weapons are of the highest quality. Their blades have a cold light and are extremely sharp. If there is a way, they can also be exchanged for some Origin Stones.

But I don't dare to take action at the moment, it will be terrible if someone recognizes me.

"Sleeve arrows?"

The sleeve arrow on the hand is made of fine workmanship, with countless tiny twists and turns inside. It doesn't look like an ancient product, and I'm afraid it would be difficult to make even with modern technology. It should come from the world of Fei Mu.

In this world of 'magic', forging technology has its own uniqueness.

"Kachacha..."

When it is put on the arm, the gears make a sound, and it fits tightly with the arm in the blink of an eye, and the movement is not affected at all.

Squeeze the mechanism lightly.

"Duh!"

There was a muffled sound, and seven black figures disappeared straight into the wall not far away.

"hiss……"

Zhou Jia's eyes contracted and he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

With this kind of strength and speed, within one foot, he might not have time to dodge. If he resisted forcefully, he would definitely be seriously injured even if he could save his life. Fortunately, he acted decisively in the first place.

"Sure enough, a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. There are dangers everywhere in this world. There are too many things that can kill the enemy."

"You have to be more careful from now on!"

Apart from these, everything else is just sundries and can't be exchanged for much money.

…………

"What?"

At the market, Zhou Jia’s voice mentioned:

"Why did the price increase so much?"

"It's going to be a cold month soon, and the prices of food and things to keep warm will increase. This is the rule." The stall owner shrugged:

"It's just the beginning now, and it will become more and more expensive in the future. In the past, meat worth thirty yuan could be sold for up to seventy yuan."

"Do you want to buy it or not?"

"Buy!" Zhou Jia gritted his teeth:

"Give me more."

"Okay." The stall owner was shocked.

After these days of experimentation, Zhou Jia has figured out the most efficient recipe at the most appropriate price.

The three meals are mainly meat, served with mushrooms, japonica rice, etc...

With practice, you can gain three points of energy a day.

The price was originally over a hundred dollars a day, but now it’s almost a hundred and fifty, which is simply crazy!

Soon after, the cold moon came.
